        "title": "Dr No Movie Overview",
        "raw_content": "Dr. No was the first James Bond film. Based on the 1958 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, it was adapted by Richard Maibaum, Johanna Harwood, and Berkely Mather and was directed by Terence Young. The film was produced by Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, a partnership that would continue until 1975.\nJohn Strangways, the British Intelligence (SIS) Station Chief in Jamaica, is ambushed and killed, and his body taken by a trio of assassins known as the \"Three Blind Mice\". In response, British agent James Bond (Secret Agent 007) is summoned to the office of his superior, M. Bond is briefed to investigate Strangways' disappearance and to determine whether it is related to his cooperation with the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) on a case involving the disruption of rocket launches from Cape Canaveral by radio jamming.\nDuring his investigation in Strangways' house Bond sees a photograph of a boatman with Strangways. Bond locates the boatman, named Quarrel, but finds him to be un-cooperative. Bond also recognises Quarrel to have been the driver of the car that followed him from the airport. Bond follows Quarrel and is about to be beaten by him and a friend when the fight is interrupted by the second man who followed Bond from the airport: he reveals himself to be CIA agent Felix Leiter and explains that not only are the two agents on the same mission but also that Quarrel is helping Leiter. The CIA has traced the mysterious radio jamming of American rockets to the vicinity of Jamaica, but aerial photography cannot determine the exact location of its origin. Quarrel reveals that he has been guiding Strangways around the nearby islands to collect mineral samples. He also talks about the reclusive Dr. No, who owns the island of Crab Key, on which there is a bauxite mine: the island and mine are rigorously protected against trespassers by an armed security force and radar.\nDuring a search of Strangways' house, Bond found a receipt, signed by Professor R. J. Dent, concerning rock samples. Bond meets with Dent who says he assayed the samples for Strangways and determined them to be ordinary rocks. This visit makes Dent wary and he takes a boat to Crab Key where Dr. No expresses displeasure at Dent's failure to kill Bond and orders him to try again, this time with a tarantula. Bond survives and after a final attempt on his life, sets a trap for Dent, whom he captures, interrogates and then kills.\nHaving detected radioactive traces in Quarrel's boat, where Strangways' mineral samples had been, Bond convinces a reluctant Quarrel to take him to Crab Key. There Bond meets the beautiful Honey Ryder, dressed only in a white bikini, who is collecting shells. At first she is suspicious of Bond but soon decides to help him, leading them all inland to an open swamp. After nightfall they are attacked by the legendary \"dragon\" of Crab Key which turns out to be a flame-throwing armoured tractor. In the resulting gun battle, Quarrel is incinerated by the flame-thrower whilst Bond and Ryder are taken prisoner. Bond and Ryder are decontaminated and taken to quarters before being drugged.\nUpon waking they are escorted to dine with Dr. No. He reveals that he is a member of SPECTRE (SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion) and plans to disrupt the Project Mercury space launch from Cape Canaveral with his atomic-powered radio beam. After dinner Ryder is taken away and Bond is beaten by the guards.\nBond is imprisoned in a holding cell but manages to escape through a vent. Disguised as a worker, Bond finds his way to the control centre, a multi-level room full of high-tech instrumentation with an atomic reactor set into the floor, overseen by Dr. No from a command console. Bond overloads the nuclear reactor just as the American rocket is about to take off. Hand-to-hand combat ensues between Bond and Dr. No; the scientist is pushed into the reactor's cooling vat, in which he boils to death. Bond finds Ryder and the two escape in a boat just as the entire lair explodes.\nDr. No (Blu-ray,2008,Widescreen) 007,James Bond, Sean Connery, Not a Scratch!\nClick Here For More dr no",

        "title": "Two Thousand Maniacs!",
        "raw_content": "Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964) ***\nFair warning: Two Thousand Maniacs! has a twist ending, and I\u2019m going to spoil the shit out of it. I do so because the twist is integral to what elevates this movie so far above what would seem to be its natural level, making it stand out so starkly from the rest of Herschell Gordon Lewis\u2019s mostly worthless output, and because there is thus no other way to explain why someone who has already subjected themselves to Blood Feast or The Wizard of Gore or any of the rest of that crap would stand to gain anything by giving Two Thousand Maniacs! a chance. Virtually alone among Lewis\u2019s pioneering but uniformly awful gore-horror films, Two Thousand Maniacs! has something going on beneath the surface, and what gets revealed during those last few minutes is a crucial part of it.\n110 miles north of Atlanta, a young man whom we will come to know as Rufus Tate (Gary Bakeman) stands perched in a tall tree by the side of the highway, peering at passing cars through a pair of binoculars. When he spies an isolated vehicle with Northern license plates\u2014 like that Ford from Illinois or that Mercury from\u2026 wait, who had blue text on mustard yellow in the mid-60\u2019s? Pennsylvania, maybe? New Jersey?\u2014 he signals ahead to his friend, Lester McDonald (Ben Moore, of She Freak and Moonshine Mountain), who replaces the sign pointing Atlanta-ward with another announcing a detour down the little-traveled Route 202. A second detour sign a bit farther down directs the Northern drivers to turn right down the ill-maintained dirt track that leads, in about a quarter of a mile, to the little town of Pleasant Valley, South Carolina, population 2000. And if everything we\u2019ve seen thus far (including that obvious reference to the maniacs of the title) wasn\u2019t enough to convince us that nothing good could come of this, all the children roaming the streets of Pleasant Valley playing with miniature nooses certainly ought to be.\nA total of six outsiders are taken in by Rufus and Lester\u2019s subterfuge with the road signs. The white Ford contains married couples David (Michael Korb) and Beverly (Yvonne Gilbert) Wells and John (Jerome Eden, from Color Me Blood Red and Daughter of the Sun) and Bea (Nude on the Moon\u2019s Shelby Livingston) Miller, on their way to a collective vacation in Florida. The red Mercury belongs to Terry Adams (Connie Mason, of Blood Feast and Black Mamba), who had been bound for Atlanta on who knows what business when she encountered Tom White (William Kerwin, from Barracuda and The Adventures of Lucky Pierre, acting under the pseudonym \u201cThomas Woods\u201d), himself broken down en route to a teachers\u2019 conference in the same city. All six are puzzled by the reception that greets them in Pleasant Valley\u2014 the cheering crowds, the frantically waving Confederate flags, the somehow aggressive effusiveness of Mayor Earl Buckman (Jeffrey Allen, of Something Weird and This Stuff\u2019ll Kill Ya!) once the townspeople herd the outsiders to the center of the tiny commercial district. Nor do Buckman\u2019s answers to their questions accomplish more than to raise a hundred new ones. Pleasant Valley is celebrating its centennial, and for some reason, that requires the presence of exactly six Northerners for the duration of the two-day festival. Terry, Tom, the Millers, and the Wellses will be the town\u2019s honored guests, staying free of charge in the best hotel (which I rather suspect is also the only hotel), having all their needs provided for similarly free of charge, and apparently playing a pivotal role in a series of celebratory events the exact nature of which Buckman won\u2019t go into just now. And as for the wayfarers\u2019 protestations that they have places to go and things to do that are not consistent with being feted for two days in some tiny backwoods hickburg, well, Buckman simply won\u2019t hear of it. He and his program directors (that is, Rufus and Lester) went to a lot of trouble to organize this festival, and the visitors wouldn\u2019t want to disappoint the whole town now, would they?\nThose of you who paid attention in history class will already have begun to suspect what\u2019s going on here. A hundred years earlier (Two Thousand Maniacs! is explicitly set in April of 1965, roughly a year after the date of its release), the Civil War was nearing its conclusion, and the Union armies were marching across the heart of Dixie, burning and pillaging as they went. The Northern soldiers were especially ruthless in South Carolina, the first state to secede, and thus the one whose people were most responsible for the preceding four years of bloodshed, destruction, and misery. The ruin that General Sherman\u2019s troops famously visited upon Georgia had been strategically motivated above all, a primitive, ground-based precursor to the bombing campaign against German and Japanese cities during World War II, but in South Carolina, it was payback\u2014 and the conduct of the invading army was correspondingly more savage. Now, on the hundredth anniversary of the Union forces\u2019 arrival in Pleasant Valley, the townspeople are looking for a little vicarious payback of their own. Understand, however, that this is more than a politicized version of the typical Deep South back-country blood-feud. The soldiers who descended upon Pleasant Valley exterminated its inhabitants down to the last woman and child, and what the travelers from up north now face is the revenant of an entire town.\nYes, that\u2019s right. When the Pleasant Valley Boys sing, in the main title theme, that the South is going to rise again, Herschell Gordon Lewis means that in an unusually literal sense. What makes Two Thousand Maniacs! so curious\u2014 makes it, in fact, one of the most subtextually rich horror films of the 1960\u2019s\u2014 is the conflicted attitude it seems to represent toward that prospect. Herschell Gordon Lewis was a Northerner, born in Pittsburgh, educated in Chicago, and based in the latter city throughout his filmmaking career. Nevertheless, his earlier professional life (first as a college professor and later as advertising agent) had put him for years at a time in both Mississippi and Oklahoma, and when he retired from the movie business in the early 70\u2019s, he migrated southward once again, this time to Florida. Lewis\u2019s partner, David Friedman, meanwhile, was born in Birmingham, Alabama, but had also traveled extensively, settling in Chicago by the late 1950\u2019s. So while Lewis and Friedman alike were Northern city-dwellers in 1964, both had some degree of Southern background and, or so it would appear, some affection for the region\u2019s culture. Also, both men understood very well that it was in the South that their money was made; as Lewis himself would put it some 35 years later, \u201cA typical audience member would live south of the Mason-Dixon line, would be between 25 and 45, would live in rural rather than urban circumstances, would probably be male, would not be highly educated, and would have a terrific number of prejudices.\u201d Consider all that as you watch Two Thousand Maniacs!, and see the bizarre way the threads come together. The people of Pleasant Valley are condemned as maniacs in the very title, and in point of fact, that\u2019s about the kindest word that could be justly applied to them. They\u2019re also about the biggest collection of facile redneck stereotypes you\u2019re going to see anywhere, a bunch of violent, greedy, ignorant, inbred halfwits from Mayor Buckman all the way down to the little boy whom the last survivors among the waylaid Yankees bamboozle into providing them with a means of escape. By any normal reckoning, they could scarcely be considered sympathetic characters, and yet we get to know them a great deal better than we do most of their victims, and Lewis often seems to be taking their side just a little. The undead villagers have a legitimate grievance, after all, even if their means of redressing it is backward, senseless, small-minded, and sadistic. Also, what little we learn of the Northerners seems calculated to prevent us from liking them very much. John and Bea Miller are dishonest, libidinous slimebags, whose marriage is defined on both sides by an unspoken contest to see how far each can push the openness of their infidelity without giving the other enough evidence to initiate divorce proceedings. David and Beverly Wells are the perfect clueless city-slickers, gullibly going along with anything and everything until it\u2019s far too late for them to save themselves. Only Ted White and Terry Adams are portrayed in such a way that you might root for their survival, which is interesting in itself for all the cognitive dissonance it sets up. Throughout the movie, Lewis plays very skillfully to rural Southern anti-intellectualism, and to the South\u2019s vision of itself as the aggrieved underdog, setting the conflict in terms that seem to say, \u201cYeah, look at that! Them Yankees ain\u2019t so smart now, are they?\u201d And yet it\u2019s White\u2014 the schoolteacher\u2014 who overcomes the vengeful revenants of Pleasant Valley, and he does it by outwitting them. Intellect, in other words, carries the day after all, and the real underdogs are the captive travelers, outnumbered a thousand to one (at least in the final act) by undead psychopaths. To some extent, it\u2019s clear that Lewis and Friedman simply understood the terrifically numerous prejudices of their primary audience, and had no qualms about exploiting them along the way to a conclusion affirming (albeit in a markedly provisional way) non-redneck values. But at the same time, the perfection of Two Thousand Maniacs! as a hillbilly revenge fantasy suggests that the fantasy had its allure for its creators as well.\nThis review is part of a much-belated B-Masters Cabal tribute to all the living dead things that we\u2019ve been negelecting in favor of zombies all these years.

        "raw_content": "Methods of Microbial Control\nWith the advent of the germ theory of disease, it became obvious that disease could be spread by organisms too small for the eye to see. Pioneers such as Ignaz Semmelweis and Joseph Lister utilized techniques such as the washing of hands and disinfecting of surfaces to decrease the likelihood of infection. In time, hospitals, clinics, and laboratories began to adopt these methods and improve upon them.\nMethods used to control the growth of microbial growth can be placed into two broad categories, physical and chemical. Physical methods either exclude microbes, or reduce their numbers in a solution, or on the surface of a fomite (any nonliving material which might come into contact with the individual) . Chemical methods involve the application of specific chemical agents which inhibit growth or kill microbes on fomites or the surface of skin. The selection of an appropriate technique is important, since many physical and chemical agents can cause damage to the cells and tissues of the individual as well as the microbe.\nAgents of microbial control either sterilize or disinfect. Sterilizing agents kill all living things, thus removing the living source of contagion. Disinfecting agents kill some microbes, but inhibit the growth of others. Most techniques only provide disinfection. Also, several factors influence the effectiveness of any method of microbial control. These include population size, susceptability of the microorganism to the agent, concentration of the dose used, and the duration of treatment.\nFiltration is the passing of either a solution or gasses through a device which traps microbes on one side of a container or space, preventing them from passing to the other. Filters are materials which have pores (openings) of varying sizes. Particulate matter larger than the pore size in a filter is excluded from passage and is this physically excluded. The earliest form of filter used in microbiological was cotton, a fiberous material derived from plants. Cotton fibers form a densely packed matrix which offers a torturous path for particulate matter containing microbes to pass, while still allowing air to do so. This is only true however, as long as a cotton plug, filter, or bandage remains dry, since water clings to each fiber allowing microbes unrestricted access.\nIn most cases, cotton has been replaced as a filter by ceramic filters and synthetic plastics such as nitrocellulose which offer very small pore sizes (0.2 m to 0.45 m) without taking up as much space. Since these materials are not fiberous, all but the very smallest microbes can be removed from a solution passing through them. This solution, called a filtrate, is generally free from contaminants so long as the original pre-filtered solution did not contain organisms such as mycoplasma bacteria or viruses, both of which are smaller than most filters. As a consequence, filtration should be considered an agent of disinfection rather than sterilization.\nDessication (drying) is the removal of moisture from the body of an organism. Many bacteria are very sensitive to water loss and can be killed simply by removal of water. For example, Treponema pallidum, the agent of syphillis, is so intolerant to water loss that it will die within twenty seconds on the surface of a dry fomite. The physical preservation of foodstuffs by drying has been practiced by humans for thousands of years and in most cases does reduce the number of potentially pathogenic microbes. One process, called lyophilization or freeze-drying, is used to rapidly remove water from the body of an organism under very cold temperatures in a partial vacuum. This process does not kill organisms such as bacteria, but does inactivate their metabolic processes. Lyophilization is used to preserve living bacterial cultures for storage and transport. To restore the freeze-dried cells, an individual has only to rehydrate them in a nutrient broth solution and incubate the culture at the optimum temperature for growth of the microbe.\nIt is important to note, however, that not all microbes are killed or inactivated by dessication. Bacteria which form spores such as members of the genera Bacillus and Clostridium, cyst-forming protists, and viruses can withstand drying, simply becoming inactive until moisture becomes available. For this reason, dessication can only be considered a form of disinfection.\nRadiation describes a physical phenomenon which occurs when matter releases either energy, atomic particules, or both. Radiation can affect the chemical makeup of the cell by altering or disrupting the structure of biological molecules. Ionizing radiation strips electrons away from biological molecules. Both gamma and X-radiation are ionizing forms. Ultraviolet radiation is absorbed by the pyrimidine bases cytosine and thymine in DNA. When two thymine or cytosine molecules lie adjacent to one another on a nucleoside, ultraviolet radiation with wavelengths between 250 nm and 280 nm causes them to have a greater affinity for one another than for their complementary adenines on the opposite nucleoside. The two bond together, forming a dimer, which disrupts the normal sequence of nucleotide bases. This kind of mutation prevents the cell from producing proteins which may be necessary for normal metabolism to occur. Some cells can repair this damage if exposed to visibile light through a process called photoreactivation (light repair), wherein the dimer is nicked by a restriction endonuclease, then cut away and replaced by DNA polymerase. The new thymine or cytosine bases are then bonded to their complementary adenines or guanines by DNA ligase. Since light repair can occur, the use of ultraviolet radiation has only disinfecting activity and cannot be considered a sterilizing agent.\nExcess heat energy can cause proteins to become denatured, meaning that they lose their normal three-dimensional shape. Effective temperature for the reduction of microbes is measured as the thermal death point (TDP) of each organism, which is the temperature at which all growth stops. Thermal death time (TDT) is the amount of time it takes to kill all of the microbes in a sample, and the decimal reduction factor (DRF) is the amount of time at a specific heat necessary to reduce the population of microbes in a sample tenfold.\nThe most common methods of applying excess heat energy are flaming and incineration, which completely destroy all life. Flaming of inoculating loops and needles, as well as the tops of glass culture tubes and flasks insures that no contaminating microbes can infect sterile media. Applying dry heat by forcing hot air onto the surface of an object can be used in a similar fashion, though many spore formers are capable of withstanding this.\nThe application of moist heat, such as boiling, steaming, and pasteurization (application of high heat to a solution for a short period of time), is also commonly used. These methods work well for most microbes, but are incapable of killing organisms which are thermoduric (capable of withstanding elevated temperatures), or are spore formers. For example, the spores of Clostridium botulinum, the bacterium which causes botulism, can be boiled for up to five hours and still remain viable. The most effective application of moist heat is through the use of a device called an autoclave. The autoclave works on the principle of saturated steam. The inner chamber is raised to an air pressure of\n15 lb/inch2, then steam at a temperature of 121o C is injected. The steam strikes the surface of the object to be sterilized and condenses into water as its excess heat energy is released. This condensation creates a partial vacuum which draws more steam to the object. Saturated steam is extremely effective as a sterilizing agent, at least 1500 times more effective than the application of dry heat. Autoclaves are usually operated in cycles between 15 and 90 minutes, and can be used to sterilize glassware, surgical implements, soil, water, and microbiological media such as broths and agars. They cannot, however, be used to sterilize hydrophyllic powders which would clump, or hydrophobic oils since microbes suspended in oils would only be subjected to dry heat. Also, while contaminated bandages can be placed in an autoclave, the toxins or exoenzymes left behind by killed microorganisms such as Clostridium perfringens (the agent of gas gangrene) may still be capable of causing host cell damage, so these should be rinsed thoroughly with sterile water prior to reuse.\nAll of the above physical means of control can be checked for effectiveness utilizing various bacteria as quality control agents. Devices which emit ionizing radiation can be tested with Micrococcus radiouridans, U.V. devices with Bacillus pumilis, and heat disinfecting and sterilizing units such as hot-air ovens, pressure cookers, and autoclaves with Bacillus stearothermophilus. These organisms are generally supplied to laboratories live or in ampules or tape strips, which can be placed in the control device. After a normal operating cycle, the organisms are incubated in microbiological media. If growth occurs, the device is not operating properly and should be repaired. Quality control checks and maintenance are vital to the effective microbiological laboratory or health-care facility, and should be performed on a regular basis to prevent contamination and the spread of disease.\nChemical agents for the control of microbial growth are either microbiocidal or microbiostatic. Microbiocidal agents are sterilants which kill all living cells. Microbiostatic agents kill some cells and inhibit the growth of others. The spectrum of activity exhibited by any microbiocidal or microbiostatic agent is an important factor in choice, and should be considered, along with potential harmful effects on the user. An agent which kills staphylococci may be totally ineffective against mycobacteria, and would be useless in a tuberculosis ward. Also, a broadly killing sterilant may release gasses which are toxic to patients and staff. Most often, chemical agents which disinfect are utilized by clinics, hospitals, and laboratories. While these agents do not sterilize, their toxicity is usually much less than that of a sterilant, and prevention of infection is stressed.\nThere are four large categories for agents of chemical control. Antibiotics are produced by microorganisms to kill or inhibit the growth of other microbes. These agents are generally selectively toxic, and can be naturally produced, synthesized, or or semisynthetic. Antiseptics are synthetic compounds which kill or inhibt the growth of microbes on the surface of the skin. Disinfectants are chemical compounds which kill or inhibit microbes on the surface of fomites. Preservatives, such as sugars, salt, nitrates, nitrites, sulfate, and sulfites inhibit microbial growth in food, usually by producing osmotic environments which are unfavorable to microbial growth. These can be further subdivided as high-, intermediate, or low level agents. High-level germicides sterilize fomites, but are toxic to skin and mucus membranes. Intermediate-level disinfectants and antiseptics kill and inhibit on fomites and skin, but can be toxic to the user at medium to high concentrations. Examples include phenolics and halogens. Low-level disinfectants, such as alcohols, hydrogen peroxide, heavy metals, and soaps kill some microbes but inhibit the growth of most.\nHigh-Level Germicides\nThese are called agents of cold sterilization, since no heat needs to be applied to increase their activity. These are generally alkylating agents, which kill by adding ethyl or methyl groups to nucleic acids or proteins. While the agents are capable of killing vegetative cells, spores, and inactivating viruses, some take up to several hours to complete their germicidal activity.\nAldehydes, such as formaldehyde and gluteraldehyde, fix tissues by alkylating and forming cross-links between adjacent proteins. They are commonly used as fixitive compounds for electron microscopy, preservatives of specimens and cadavers, in some synthetic plastic compounds, and can be used to sterilize anesthesia tubing and surgical implements. Aldehydes can fix living tissues such as mucus membranes and have the ability to vaporize or outgas from compounds containing them, so they should be handled with caution. b-propiolactone is a liquid alkylating sterilant with a high boiling point (155oC). It is generally used to sterilize bone used in grafts. It quickly breaks down into nontoxic compounds when it comes into contact with organic matter, but can burn skin.\nEthylene oxide (carboxide) kills vegetative cells and spores. It is a liquid at temperatures below 10.8o C, but rapidly sublimates into a highly inflammable gaseous state above this temperature. It is generally used in a chamber similar to an autoclave at 60o C for 1-10 hours, where it is mixed in a 9:1 ratio with carbon dioxide (90% CO2, 10% ethylene oxide), which reduces its toxicity, but also its inflammability. Carboxide can be used to sterilize surgical implements and glassware, but these fomites must be allowed to degass before use, since residues can stimulate mutations in bacteria.\nOzone (O3) occurs naturally in the upper atmosphere, where it serves to shield the surface of the earth from solar radiation, and is produced as an exhaust gas by vehicles and industry, acting as a pollutant in the lower atmosphere. Applied properly in a chamber, ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent which kills cells and spores on the surface of glassware, surgical implements, and bandages. An advantage of sterilization with this compound is that it outgasses quickly, leaving no toxic residues as can ethylene oxide and b-propiolactone.\nIntermediate-Level Disinfectants and Antiseptics\nPhenol (carbolic acid) is one of the earliest disinfectant compounds to be used in health care facilities and laboratories. Joseph Lister used atomized phenolic compounds in the 1860's to disinfect his surgery during invasive procedures as a means of cutting down on postoperative septic infections. Phenol kills microorganisms by denaturing proteins and destabilizing cell membranes, is bacteriocidal, fungicidal, and virucidal at high concentrations, but is not effective against bacterial endospores, and is effective against many potential pathogens, including mycobacteria, staphylocci, streptococci, and gram-negative coliforms, such as E. coli. It can be used to disinfect garbage cans, surgical operating facilities, laboratory equipment, feces, urine, and sputum, but it is very corrosive at higher concentrations and its fumes can be lethal. Because of its toxicity, this compound is generally used as a solution between 2% to 5% in concentration, and many less toxic derivitives have been produced. The most common of th phenolic derivatives are called cresols and bisphenols. Cresols are formed by adding methyl groups to phenol, and are used for the preservation of wood products, as compounds such as creosote (para-cresol). Bisphenols are produced by combining two phenol molecules. Lysol\u2122 is a combination of cresol and soap, which has about the same spectrum of activity as phenol, but is much less toxic to skin. Other cresols include resorcinol, hexylresorcinol, and hexachlorophene. Hexachlorophene soaps such as pHizoHex were once widely utilized as antiseptic soaps by health-care personnel for hand washing and the bathing of newborn infants, but have been discarded, since it was found that this phenolic could be absorbed through the skin and potentially cause birth defects.\nSince phenol has such a broad-spectrum of activity, it is used as a standard by which to judge how well other disinfecting compounds work. The phenol coefficient (P.C.) is a mathematical value used to compare the effectiveness of a test disinfectant to that of phenol, and is derived from the following formula: dilution of a test disinfectant necessary to kill a standard population of bacteria P.C. = dilution of phenol which has the same effect\nFor example, a 1:250 dilution of a test reagent kills a standard population of S. aureus. A 1:60 dilution of phenol kills the same size population. To derive the P.C., we divide 250/60:\nP.C. = 250/60 =4.2 Therefore the test disinfectant is 4.2 times as effective as phenol.\nHalogens are a family of elements with a high affinity for electrons. This affinity makes them very reactive with biological molecules, and they can serve to disrupt enzyme activity, break down lipid structure, and produce oxidizing agents such as singlet oxygen (O). The halogens most commonly used as disinfectants are chlorine and iodine. Chlorine is used as a disinfectant only, either as a gas or in liquid form which is effective against many vegetative forms of microbes as well as some viruses such as HIV and hepatitis. Commonly, chlorine is supplied in sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) bleach, which is a combination of 94.75% water and 5.25% NaOCl. It is used as a bleaching compound as well as a disinfectant for used hypodermic needles, in swimming pools, toilets, water supplies, and in sewage treatment plants. It is inactivated by organic matter, and produces toxic fumes (the \"mustard gas\" used in World War I because of its yellow color) which can cause considerable damage to skin and mucus membranes with direct contact. Iodine is lethal to all vegetative forms of microorganisms, can inactivate viruses, and is fairly effective in higher concentrations against endospores. Pure iodine is caustic to tissues, so it is diluted with other compounds. Tincture of iodine is produced by dissolving crystaline iodine in alcohol. This solution is a good antiseptic for most minor cuts and scrapes, but it excites pain receptors at the site of an injury, and as the alcohol component dries, the iodine may concentrate and damage exposed tissues. Iodophore compounds, such as Betadine\u2122 and Wescodine\u2122 are composed of iodine dissolved in mild detergent and alcohol. These do not excite pain receptors as readily and can be used to clean and disinfect large areas of skin prior to invasive surgical procedures.\nLow-Level Disinfectants\nHydrogen peroxide is a good low-level disinfectant agent when used in concentrations of 3% or lower. Higher concentrations are caustic to human skin, and cannot be used. This compound is used as an antiseptic for the treatment of minor cuts and scrapes and as a bleaching agent. When placed on the surface of an injury, hydrogen peroxide bubbles due to the release of the enzyme catalase from tissues, which break it down into water and oxygen. This breakdown also releases the peroxide ion (O2-2), a strong oxidizing agent, and that the water released provides hydroxide ions which strip hydrogen from biological molecules. Obligate anaerobic microbes are especially sensitive to hydrogen peroxide, since they do not produce catalase and the rapid release of oxygen gas inhibits their growth.\nAlcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol are effective antiseptics and disinfectants when used in concentrations between 70% and 80%. Alcohols kill microbes by denaturing proteins, dehydrating (100% concentration), and as nonpolar solvents which disrupt the phospholipid structure of the cell membrane, but are relatively ineffective against spores and viruses. Also, dehydration may actually be beneficial to some microbes, enhancing their survival by extracting extracellular water, so alcohols such as ethanol are normally used in lower concentrations. Isopropanol is used as an antiseptic and to clean the epidermis prior to syringe and I.V. needle use.\nHeavy metals such as mercury, silver, and copper tend to combine with sulfur groups in the proteins of microbes, causing them to denature. This oligodynamic activity makes the heavy metals useful in small concentrations. These are some of the earliest used agents for the control of microorganisms. Mercury, in the form of mercuric chloride, was used by the Greeks and Romans to disinfect skin. This element is toxic in high concentrations, so it is commonly blended with other compounds such as iodine and alcohol in mercurochrome. Silver, applied as silver nitrate (AgNO3) in a 1% solution, is commonly used to inhibit the growth of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the eyes of newborn infants, a condition called neonatorum opthamalia (though many hospitals now use antibiotic ointments such as erythromycin or tetracycline), which can lead to blindness and is acquired as the organisms are transmitted to the infant as it passes through the birth canal. Copper, in the form of copper sulfate, is used to limit the growth of algaes in ponds and lakes, and as an antifungal compound for use on plants.\nDetergents and soaps are composed of lipids and compounds having basic pH, such as sodium hydroxide. These break up surface tension, act as wetting agents which release particles attached to the surface of objects, and destabilize the phosphate portions of the plasma membrane of microorganisms. Detergents are either anionic or cationic, releasing negatively or positively- charged ions into solution. Anionic forms are weakly active against gram-positive bacteria but tend to repel negatively-charged cells, thus they are generally used in the production of iodophore compounds. Cationic forms are attracted to bacterial cells and are bacteriostatic, while remaining relatively mild to the surface of skin. Quartenary ammonium compounds (QUATS) are cationic detergents which contain one or more long-chain akyl groups. Quats such as benzalkonium chloride (Zephiran\u2122) have broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against bacteria, fungi, and protozoa, are mildly antiseptic and disinfecting when used as cleaning agents for laboratory fomites and on the surface of skin, and remain active after drying, but lose much of their activity when mixed with soaps. Cetylpyridium chloride (ceepryn) is the quat in Cepacol\u2122 which is mildly antiseptic and safe for use on the mucus membranes of the oral cavity.\nSome dyes can not only be used to stain microorganisms, but also have antimicrobial activity. Crystal violet (used in very low concentrations as gentian violet) can be used to treat oral infections by bacteria such as Rochlaemia quintana, the agent of trenchmouth, and fungal infections such as Candida albicans, which causes oral thrush.\nCooperative Activites\nThe following disinfectants were tested against a known concentration of E. coli. Given the\nconcentrations of the test disinfectants, establish the phenol coefficient for each if a dilution of\n1:50 of phenol is necessary to achieve the same killing effect:\nDisinfectant Concentration\nA 1:250\nC 1:500\nBased on the calculated P.C. values, which is the most effective against E. coli?\nHome Previous Contents",

        "raw_content": "When an SSSI is notified, we will give you a list of operations which need our consent before they may be carried out. Legally you have to give us written notice of any operations which you plan to carry out, or allow someone else to carry out.\nA notice of a proposed operation must specify the nature of the operation and the land on which it is proposed to be carried out.\nWe will respond to notices of proposed operations within 10 working days, or tell you if our decision is more complicated and likely to take longer. However, if we do not respond within four months, you can assume we have refused consent, and you have a right to appeal. If you would like advice about an operation before giving us written notice, please contact your local office where our advisors will be happy to help.\nIf the operation will not damage the special interest, we will be able to give our consent to it. We may attach conditions or time limits to make sure that the operation does not damage the SSSI. If an operation will damage an SSSI, we will refuse consent. We will always explain our decisions over consents, and try to sort out any disagreements over conditions or time limits.\nIf disputes over conditions, time limits or our refusal cannot be sorted out, you can appeal to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.\nWhat to do if you are not satisfied with our response\nThere are procedures set out by law that you can use, and complaint procedures available for sorting out any disagreements. We are committed to sorting out disputes through independent experts or mediation. The team manager of the relevant local office will be able to let you know about dispute resolution procedures, which form part of our informal process for sorting out disagreements.\nIf you are not satisfied with our decision about a proposed operation on an SSSI, and cannot sort the matter out with our advisor, please contact the relevant team manager. He or she will investigate the issue thoroughly, and will reply to you within 10 working days.\nIf you are not satisfied with the outcome, you should ask for the disagreement to be investigated by the regional director. You can obtain the names of the team manager and regional director by contacting the local office with which you have been dealing. There is a time limit for making formal appeals to the Secretary of State, under section 28F of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended). You must appeal to the Secretary of State within two months of our letter refusing consent, or setting conditions or time limits. You may continue to look at other ways of sorting out your disagreement with us. We can only extend the time limit for lodging formal appeals with the Secretary of State if you and we agree.\nMaking an appeal to the Secretary of State If we have refused you consent to carry out an operation on an SSSI, or you disagree with a condition or time limit attached to the consent or modification made to a consent,\nyou can appeal formally to the Secretary of State under section 28F of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (as amended).\nYou must write to the Secretary of State at:\nEuropean Wildlife Division\nBristol BS1 6EB.\nThe appeal should give the name of the person making the appeal, and a contact address and phone number. It should also give the name of the SSSI. You should give the reasons why you want to appeal. You should also enclose a copy of the consent or refusal letter against which the appeal is being made.\nThe Secretary of State must have received your appeal within two months of the date of our letter which refuses consent, or sets conditions or a time limit. You must also send a copy of the appeal to us.\nThe appeal may be dealt with by exchanging written statements, or by a hearing. Please tell the Secretary of State which you prefer.\nWritten statements can include maps, plans or photographs, along with information about the site and the operations involved. Written statements are likely to be a quicker and cheaper method for deciding an appeal than a hearing. A hearing gives you and us the chance to state our cases before an Inspector (an 'appointed person' under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981). The Inspector will make a report to the Secretary of State, recommending a decision.\nIn both a hearing and an exchange of written statements, the appeal will be decided using the evidence put forward.

        "raw_content": "Samantha Bond and Francesca Annis\nIf you\u2019re a faithful fan of the World War II drama series, Home Fires, which recently wrapped up its second season, I\u2019m sorry to report that ITV, the network it aired on in the U.K., decided not to renew it for a third series.\nAs you can imagine their decision was not a popular one - especially given the fact that season two ended in a major cliff hanger. The minute UK viewers learned there wouldn't be a third series of Home Fires, they started a petition to bring it back. Despite over 38,000 signatures, the petition was unsuccessful.\nHome Fires cast members\nThe show\u2019s creator, Simon Block, and executive producer, Francis Hopkinson, were as surprised as the viewers that their show was being axed. In fact, they had a third season all set to go - hence the cliff hanger.\n\u201cWe thought we were coming back\u201d, said Hopkinson in an on-line interview, \u201cso we felt we were fairly safe. Maybe that was our mistake, feeling confident about it.\u201d\nAlthough the petition and the media attention it received didn\u2019t convince ITV to renew the series, it may well have been responsible for the fact that Block has now written a series of Home Fires novels, which will pick up from where season two ended. The first novel, Keep the Home Fires Burning, is set to be released as a four part e-book series. The first part will be released in July, with the subsequent e-books coming out each month until the fall, when the complete novel will come out in paperback. Then in Spring of 2018, an as yet untitled follow up book will be published, again in e-book form.\nJulie Summers on set with actor Jim Whelan\n\u201cNovels are adapted for the screen all the time\u201d, said Block in an interview, \u201cwhy not the other way round?\u201d\nSomeone who could not be more \"delighted\" that Home Fires will live on in Block\u2019s novels, is writer Julie Summers who authored Jambusters, the novel on which Home Fires was based. Although she was quick to point out that Block\u2019s novels are based on the television characters and not the women in her book.",

Returning to Oxford to film the series must have been a treat for actress Dakota Blue Richards, who plays Trewlove.\nThe now 23-year-old last filmed in Oxford as a child of 12 when she was cast as the juvenile lead, Lyra Belacqua, in 2006 film The Golden Compass, starring opposite Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman. It was her first acting role and she got it after journeying from her home in Brighton to attend an open audition in Cambridge.\nIn The Golden Compass\nTen thousand other young girls reportedly auditioned for the role, but video footage of only 40 were sent to the author of the book series from which the film was adapted. Richards was one of two girls that the author, Philip Pullman, recommended for the role of his protagonist. Having being a huge fan of the book series since she was 9, you can imagine how thrilled that must have made the youngster.\nAs well as film and television, Richards is now also a stage actress. Her first production was in a touring company of Tom Stoppard\u2019s Arcadia. Richards next appeared as Stella in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire and most recently she was in a revival earlier this year of Joe Orton\u2019s What the Butler Saw. Richards then donned her police uniform and returned to television to work on Season 5 of Endeavour, which will be released in the U.K. early next year.\nWPC Trewlove and Morse in Endeavour\nAs well as the uncomfortable uniform, Richards also found that preparing for the role of Trewlove was \u201cquite difficult\u201d, as there are very few examples of female police officers from the time period in which the series is set. Generally back then, the WPCs were given the types of jobs that the powers that be felt needed a female touch \u2013 \u201cdealing with children, victims of assault or abuse\u201d.

        "raw_content": "You are at:AgEconMT\u00bbNews & Posts\u00bbCrops\u00bbWhat Will Climate Change Mean for Montana?\nBy Brock Smith on\t July 31, 2017 Crops, News & Posts\nLast week the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported on the severe drought that has slammed Northeast Montana and North and South Dakota since mid-May. Federal agencies estimate that up to 64 million bushels of wheat could be lost this year, and more than half of Montana\u2019s 2017 crops of wheat, lentils and durum are rated as poor or very poor (Anton Bekkerman wrote about the impact of the drought on wheat prices earlier this month).\nIn light of this news, it\u2019s as good a time as any to discuss the possible impact of climate change on Montana\u2019s agriculture and overall economy. This is not to say that this particular drought is a result of climate change, as it is precarious to attribute any individual weather event to climate change, but there is widespread agreement among scientists that droughts will become more prevalent around the world, along with many other possible effects on agriculture.\nQuantifying the likely impact of climate change is an emerging, highly uncertain, rapidly growing topic in the scientific literature. Many of the headline numbers you might see in the media mask significant variation in effects by geography and type of crop.\nA new working paper by a team of economists at the Department of Agriculture (and one at Penn State) estimates the impact of extreme temperatures and humidity levels on past agricultural output, and uses those estimates to project the effects of likely climate change scenarios. They find that a one-degree rise in temperatures will cause a 0.41% efficiency loss from 2030-2040 in the mountain region, which is one of the lowest impacts of all regions. In the more severe case of 2 degrees warming and 1 inch precipitation decline, the mountain region suffers a 1.04% efficiency loss.\nAnother tour-de-force analysis, recently published in Science and summarized in the New York Times, synthesizes a huge amount of past research to estimate the total economic impact of climate change in different regions in the last 20 years of the 21st century. For the country as a whole the authors estimate a reduction in GDP of 0.7% for every one degree of warming, but this average also hides significant regional variation. As shown in Figure 1 below, the worst impact will be felt in the South, where temperatures are already hotter than ideal for agriculture and other economic activity. The Northern US, including Montana, is actually predicted to benefit economically. As shown in Figure 2, this is entirely due to improved agricultural output (counter to the Department of Agriculture study discussed above) resulting from warmer temperatures that are beneficial for the colder northern regions.\nEstimating long-run effects of climate change is hugely uncertain, and the literature, still in its adolescence if not its infancy, shows highly variable or sometimes contradictory predictions. But the early indications are that while climate change will have significant negative impacts for the country as a whole, for Montana the effects will be modest or possibly beneficial. We will keep an eye on this literature and update as necessary.",

        "raw_content": "Lighting the Way to the Digital Age: The Collaboration of Innovation\nKatharine Rose Armour of Light December 17, 2014 April 11, 2017 0 Comment\nAnyone who regularly reads book reviews and keeps current on the rapidly evolving technology world is likely to have heard of a newly published book by Walter Isaacson, the famed author of Steve Jobs\u2019 biography and president of the public policy think-thank, The Aspen Institute.\nIn fact, Isaacson\u2019s new book has been reviewed by a countless number of publications, garnering significant attention and accolades \u2013 and it\u2019s not difficult to understand why.\nEntitled \u201cThe Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution\u201d (October 2014), it is Isaacson\u2019s first book that profiles not one, but multiple people, who throughout history have contributed to the technological wonders of today \u2013 namely, the computer and the internet.\nNamed one of Amazon\u2019s 2014 Best Books of the Year (#18) and ranking number 11 in the 2014 National Book Awards Longlist, it offers a fascinating exploration into the minds, personalities and creative spirit of technological innovators, beginning with Ada Lovelace \u2013 Lord Byron\u2019s daughter \u2013 who pioneered computer programming in the 1840s. Moving on to later, perhaps more well-established figures \u2013 including Vannevar Bush, Alan Turing, John von Neumann, J.C.R. Licklider, Doug Engelbart, Robert Noyce, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Tim Berners-Lee and Larry Page \u2013 Isaacson shows how it was the collaborative effort of many minds and geniuses who transformed our world with the creation of a digital revolution.\nFor further insight and a sampling of the reviews, please see below:\n\u201cThe Women Tech Forgot\u201d (New York Times, reviewed by Nick Bilton, October 1, 2014):\n\u201cIn many respects, the book could have been called \u2018The Collaborators.\u2019 Each chapter reinforces the core premise that Mr. Isaacson made after 15 years of research: That every technology innovation, whether programming code, transistors, personal computers or the Internet, was built by groups of people (usually by borrowing from past ideas).\u201d \u2026\n\u201cMs. Lovelace\u2019s role in tech for example, is so paramount that her story is the opening and closing chapter. An English mathematician and writer, she wrote the first-ever computer algorithm, put forth the idea that humanities and technology should coexist and dreamed up the concept of artificial intelligence.\u201d\n\u201cGeek Squad\u201d (New York Times, reviewed by Brendan Koerner, October 2, 2014):\n\u201cStubbornness is just one of the personality traits ubiquitous among the brilliant subjects of \u2018The Innovators.\u2019 Isaacson identifies several other virtues that were essential to his geeky heroes\u2019 success\u2026[t]he digital pioneers all loathed authority, embraced collaboration and prized art as much as science.\u201d \u2026\n\u201cFew authors are more adept at translating technical jargon into graceful prose, or at illustrating how hubris and greed can cause geniuses to lose their way.\u201d\n\u201cHeralds of the Digital Tomorrow\u201d (New York Times, reviewed by Janet Maslin, October 8, 2014):\n\u201cAda Lovelace\u2019s mid-19 century writings were so brilliantly visionary about the potential of a general-purpose computer that she is acknowledged as a major-tech-world hero.\u201d \u2026\n\u201cThe United States Defense Department named a computer language after her. There is an Ada Lovelace Day in Oct, a nifty Ada Lovelace Google Doodle and many books about her, including Ada\u2019s Algorithom, a new biography by James Essinger.\u201d\nKirkus Reviews* of The Innovators:\n\u201cIsaacson reiterates one theme: Innovation results from both \u201ccreative inventors\u201d and \u201can evolutionary process that occurs when ideas, concepts, technologies, and engineering methods ripen together.\u201d\n\u201cIsaacson weaves prodigious research and deftly crafted anecdotes into a vigorous, gripping narrative about the visionaries whose imaginations and zeal continue to transform our lives.\u201d\n*Kirkus Reviews is an American book review magazine founded in 1933.\nFor more reviews, please visit the below links:\nWall Street Journal; reviewed by Steven Shapin, October 3, 2014\nWashington Post; reviewed by Matthew Wisnioski, October 3, 2014\nBloomberg Businessweek; reviewed by John Homans, October 2, 2014\nFinancial Times; reviewed by Richard Waters, October 10, 2014\nBoston Globe; reviewed by Charles Euchner, October 21, 2014\n\u2190 Cata: Teeming with Tapas and Tonic\nWishing for a Miracle This Holiday Season \u2192",

Smith might not have been the most famous or highly profiled fundie there, but she is pretty typical of the lot. With her husband Eddie, Smith is cofounder and executive director of the U.S. Prayer Center in Houston, a pretty prolific speaker on topics such as intercessory prayer, spiritual warfare, deliverance, and so on; editor of Insight; and author of books and articles for outlets such as the Charisma magazine. She is also a regular guest on the 700 Club and Benny Hinn\u2019s show.\nShe is most famous for her promotion of \u201cspiritual housecleaning\u201d, and has even written a book on the topic. We\u2019ll let her explain:\n\u201cDemons do not need a specific invitation to oppress and influence people\u2019s lives; they sneak into homes, families and churches at the smallest opportunity, often under the noses of even the most vigilant believers. Spiritual House Cleaning explains, step by step, how readers can rid their lives of the enemy\u2019s influence ... A demonically infected atmosphere is a result of \u2018doors\u2019 that have been left open \u2013 doors of sin, even the sins of previous residents and of past generations! And evil\u2019s grip is often maintained as a result of one\u2019s possessions. Your home should reflect the pure, peaceful presence of Christ. A defiled spiritual atmosphere will affect you, your relationships, your health and even your success.\u201d\nApparently \u201ccursed items\u201d, which can include everything from shirts to rings, maintain a \u201cspiritual umbilical cord\u201d that attaches to you and gives demonic spirits the ability to plague you with sickness and fill your home with \u201cspiritual pollution\u201d. Yup, that\u2019s the stuff Smith spends her life writing about.\nDiagnosis: Yet another piece of evidence, if any were needed, of how unfit Rick Perry ever was for office. As for Smith, though, she shouldn\u2019t really be trusted to use a doorknob without supervision. Completely insane.",

        "raw_content": "A divaricating habit: Ann Robinson branches out\nPublished in: Craft Arts International No. 75, 2009\nExhibition: Divaricate 2008 at FHE Gallery, Auckland. New Zealand\nMotivated by the need for more space, after two decades working from her studio in the Waitakere Ranges overlooking New Zealand\u2019s Tasman coast, celebrated glass artist Ann Robinson decided to elevate her glassmaking to an industrial scale. Loaded with national and international awards (including in 2006 a Life Time Achievement Award from the Glass Arts Society of America), and with work in major collections worldwide (such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Corning Museum of Glass in New York State, the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington), New Zealand glass artist Ann Robinson, now in her sixties, might have been expected to \u201crest on her laurels\u201d. Far from it. Recent exhibitions. held on both sides of the Tasman, \u201cA Trans-Tasman Sampler\u201d at Axia Modern Art, Melbourne, in August/September, 2008, and \u201cDivaricate\u201d at FHE Galleries, Auckland, in November/December, 2008, revealed both strong continuities with previous practice, in the first instance, and bold innovations \u0096 a genuine branching out \u0096 in the other.\nAs the title \u201cA Trans-Tasman Sampler\u201d suggests, the Melbourne exhibition placed the emphasis on continuity rather than innovation. The works shown \u0096 cast crystal vessels all made in 2008 \u0096 were samples of many of the vessel forms with which she has become identified over the past 20 or more years. The Melbourne show consisted of 10 pieces (in the following list the dates in brackets indicates when a particular vessel entered her repertoire): an Ice Bowl in copper blue (1986); a Nikau Vase in red/ green (1992); a Scallop Bowl in red (1993); two versions of the Pod Vase, one in yellow the other in fuchsia pink (1994); a Side Carved Flax Pod in green (1996); a Te Rito Pod in citrine (also 1996); a Spiral Vase in aquamarine (1997); an Agathis Vase in chardonnay/ochre (2002); and a Flax Vase in lime green (2006).\nThe repetition of forms partly reflects the process by which objects are made in the lost-wax (cire perdue) process that Robinson pioneered for studio glassmaking in New Zealand.1 The process (in brief summary) begins with the making of a plaster mould into which molten wax is poured. Later the wax \u201cblanks\u201d so formed are modified (or not as the case may be) with surface designs and encased in a heat-resistant covering from which the wax is melted out in a kiln and replaced with molten glass. The glass is gradually reduced to room temperature (by the critical process known as \u201cannealing\u201d which may require days or weeks depending on the size of the object) after which the outer casing is removed and the object readied for finishing by grinding, sand-blasting, acid-bathing and polishing. It is the re-usable plaster moulds that enables the basic form of a piece to be repeated, though in Robinson\u2019s work no two pieces are exact replicas of each other because of the many later stages in the process which involve personal intervention, either by her or an assistant, such as the carving of the wax blanks with surface designs in intaglio or relief, and the subtle modifications introduced through the finishing processes. When new pieces are compared with earlier versions of the same form a myriad subtle variations is revealed according to whether the colour is pure or mixed, the height and thickness of the stem, whether the incised marks extend to the stem, how deeply the cuts are incised, the profile and contour of the lip, the degree of polishing undertaken, and so on. The realisation that every piece is freshly and intimately reassessed removes any notion of the works being merely part of a production line.\nAs an example from the Melbourne show of an older form revisited, Nikau Vase Form (2008) has blade shapes based on the leaf of the nikau palm, either raised in relief from the surface or recessed into the glass. Earlier examples of this form were invariably emerald green in colour, evoking by their translucence the appearance of sunlight through the nikau fronds in their bush setting; whereas in this latest example, the glass (except for the leaf blades) is combed, and red has been faded into green, rendering the shapes more abstract and at the same time evocative of bushfires.\nIf \u201cA Trans-Tasman Sampler\u201d has something of the feel of \u201cGreatest hits newly remastered\u201d about it, \u201cDivaricate\u201d creates a very different impression. It shows Robinson branching out in new directions in terms both of the forms and their decoration. The primary reference of the exhibition title is to a brand new vessel form, Divaricate Bowl, in pale chardonnay \u0096 one of the newer colours in the everextending range (now more than 40 colours) available from her supplier, Gaffer Glass. This piece is novel both in shape \u0096 an elliptical form which she calls Landscape Vessel (of which there is another example without surface decoration in the show) \u0096 and in its all-over decoration in which the diagonally combed surface is figured with a relief pattern of leaves and branches that extends to the base of the wide and also elliptical stem. The surface decoration is based on the uniquely divaricating form of the native New Zealand shrub Muehlenbeckia, which has tiny heart-shaped leaves attached at the point where stems branch off at right angles; a botanical peculiarity said to have evolved to protect the plant from the ravages of foraging moa, the extinct giant Notornis. On this marvelously effective vessel the leaf shapes are polished to mirror-like brightness, animating the surface with flashes of light while contrasting vividly with the striated body of the glass. However, \u201cDivaricate\u201d has more wide-reaching connotations than the name of an exciting new form. As Robinson says in a catalogue note:\n\u2018The Muehlenbeckia has a divaricating habit. The term cannot be resisted\u2026I have a divaricating habit. Comes a choice, go left or right? (Nature knows the way, and I follow.) The chosen path leads to new junctions where further decisions are made. In no time I find myself in a new place from where it would be impossible to find my way back.\u2019 2\nA significant way in which this statement holds true is that, after 20 years working in a studio situated in the forested Waitakere Ranges high above Karekare Beach on the Tasman coast west of Auckland, Robinson has moved to a new, much larger, studio in the light industrial suburb of Glendene, near where the mangrove-fringed Whau River enters the Waitemata Harbour. It requires some adjustment to think of Robinson\u2019s exquisite glass pieces emerging from a mundane industrial environment; one has got so used to associating their majestic forms, however accurately or not, with the dramatic landscapes of Karekare (readers unfamiliar with the place may recall the awesome backdrops at the start of Jane Campion\u2019s movie The Piano, that was filmed there) and with the bush vegetation that has inspired many of the patterns on her vessels: nikau, kauri (the Agathis Vase), puka, harakeke (flax) and bush orchids.\nThe move to a new studio was largely driven by the need for more space \u0096 space to fit the big kilns needed to cast her ever-larger pieces and all the other equipment associated with their manufacture, such as a sandblaster, for instance (a job that used to be undertaken out of the studio), and also to accommodate her growing team of assistants who now number five, several of whom (such as Layla Walter and Michael Crawford) are glass artists in their own right).\nLarge size is a feature of the seven pieces in \u201cDivaricate\u201d, all weighing more than 40 kg. This is glassmaking on an industrial scale and it simply burst the bounds of the studio in the bush at Karekare. Landscape Vessel, for example, is a massive deep red structure unadorned by surface decoration, in striking contrast to the similarly sized and shaped Divaricate Bowl.3\nThree of the works in the show utilise another authoritative new form called Hemisphere Vessel. This form came about by bisecting the wax blank of a Large Wide Bowl \u0096 a form first made in 1997 \u0096 and fusing the two halves together to create a form which in side-on profile makes a perfect hemisphere sitting on a short stem, while a perspective from end-on or above reveals a narrow elliptical or canoe-like shape more than half a metre long. These three examples demonstrate the variety of surface effects Robinson achieves. Hemisphere Vessel #1 in a luscious hyacinth blue (in which blue and purple hues have been subtly blended), has a rippled surface both inside and out in which the striations echo the hemispherical shape of the vessel. This exquisite ripple effect results from the carefully controlled way wax is poured into its mould. In this instance the thick lip is gently curved and carries on its matte surface a wood grain-like pattern that preserves the intricate movements of the molten glass.\nHemisphere Vessel #2 in pale steel blue also has ripples both inside and out but a flat lip polished to mirror-like brilliance, a refinement utilized on several of the new pieces. Hemisphere Vessel #3 in the colour known as chardonnay (a deeper shade than on Divaricate Bowl) also has a highly reflective lip but in this case only the interior of the bowl is rippled while the outside is smooth. All these variations react distinctively to the ambient light.\nNot all of the forms in \u201cDivaricate\u201d are new. Antipodean Bowl reprises a shape Robinson first made as part of her ground-breaking contribution to the exhibition sent to the Seville World Expo in 1992. The bowl has an inverse conical shape with a circular rim and stands on four stout legs, referencing a Pacific Islands kava bowl. Like other revisited forms, it has been modified and refined. This version, cast in a superb deep bronze colour, has stouter legs and a different way of attaching them to the body of the bowl, somewhat reminiscent of flying buttresses on a cathedral. As with Landscape Vessel, the pristine surface is unadorned with decoration though the wide flat lip is polished to a mirror-like transparency.\nOnly one work in \u201cDivaricate\u201d eschews the vessel form in favour of free form sculpture: Twisted Flax Pods, a colossal magnification of a familiar botanical feature, is a muchelaborated version of a piece that Robinson has been making for a decade or so. Earlier versions, like those shown in Seattle in 1999,4 were shorter and straighter with stems of contrasting colour as compared to the latest version measuring almost 150 cm in length, in which the twisting, undulating form is doubled and attached to a steel stem crafted by a neighbouring Glendene artist John Hall; the colour subtly modulates between olive green and yellow. It is an astonishing piece, a measure of the vast distances Robinson has travelled since her first experiments in casting glass nearly 30 years ago.\nAs she recently told a reporter from the New Zealand Herald: \u2018I don\u2019t know what I would do if I stopped doing it. There is still a lot I want to doWe are filling in time between now and dying. So you\u2019ve got to find something as interesting as you can \u0096 something you love doing.5 Ann Robinson has been in her new studio less than a year. Already the results are beautiful and impressive, as these two exhibitions amply demonstrate.Who knows whatmore is yet to come from an artist so resourceful, so gifted and with a divaricating habit?\nNotes: 1.

She is the daughter of the legendary entertainer, Lu Lien and her brother is Tuan Ngoc the singer. Needless to say, Khanh Ha began her singing career at a very early age.\nKhanh ha made her stage debut singing in her first gig in 1969, at Long Binh base, a U.S. military outpost in South Vietnam. Her career took her to various stages throughout south Vietnam. During this period, Khanh Ha sang at Eve club. In 1972, Khanh Ha sang for Tu Do club and between 1973-74 she sang at Dem Mau Hong in Saigon.\nKhanh Ha first settled in San Francisco when she first arrived to the United States in 1975. She never skipped a beat when she immediately joined a local Korean band and performed at a local Korean club. Two years later, she moved to southern California and began singing with the Uptights. The band made a name for themselves in the early eighties while performing throughout the U.S.\nKhanh Ha\u2019s career spans 25 years and many continents. Her staying power can be attributed to her soulful voice. Khanh Ha is a very technical singer. She is probably one of a handful of Vietnamese singers with such a wide range and ability for tonal manipulation. Khanh Ha\u2019s singing truly captures the heart of her fans and leaves them with the impression that the songs was meant for them and only them.\nAlthough Khanh Ha is well known for her singing, she is also an accomplished guitarist. One of Khanh Ha\u2019s all time favorite song happens to be Cat Bui Tinh Xa. Coincidentally, this is also the first Vietnamese song she sang after many years of strictly performing non-Vietnamese songs.\nIn recent years, Khanh Ha has branched out into the production aspect of the music industry. She has been producing her own album and music videos under her own label, Khanh Ha Productions. Khanh Ha has also released several Karaoke albums under this label.",

        "title": "\ufeff Malaysian Floriculture Industry Development Policy",
        "raw_content": "Malaysian Floriculture Industry Development Policy\nNik Rozana Nik Mohd Masdek and Noorlidawati Ab Halim\nMalaysia is home to a wide variety of plants species. Located in the tropics, it is one of the most diverse floristic regions in the world. Thus, Malaysia has the advantage of developing and advancing its floriculture industry which could generate decent income to producers and traders and contribute to the national income. Floriculture production value recorded an increase of 23.3%; from RM 417 million (US$104.25 million) to almost RM 514 million (USD128.5 million) in the last five years (2011-2015), in line with the increase in acreage planted within the same period. Exports reached 108 metric tons in 2012 which was considered high, but experienced a slight decline in the following years until 2014. However, Malaysia is still ranked among the top ten exporting countries in the world for floriculture products. Among its major export destination countries are Japan, Australia and Hong Kong.\nPolicies related to Floriculture\nThe National Agricultural Policy (NAP), a set of official document formulated by the government to specify the strategic direction for the agricultural sector in Malaysia, recognizes the importance of the floriculture industry. Since the First National Agriculture Policy, NAP 1 (1984 -1991), the floriculture industry has been identified as a source of growth for the agricultural sector. The Second Agricultural Policy, NAP 2 (1992-2010) focuses on innovation in the floriculture industry, viability, competitiveness and quality to meet the standards of the domestic and international market. The Third Agricultural Policy, NAP 3 (1998-2010) progresses the floriculture industry further towards increasing efficiency and productivity, competitiveness, as well as in helping strengthen institutions and promote sustainable development. Government support and commitment are directed to establish Malaysia as the global center for tropical floriculture products, among others. This includes the establishment of national and international logistics and marketing network. Areas for establishment of large scale commercial production were identified through zoning of land on a long term leasehold basis. Large scale automated production and post-harvest handling are encouraged to reduce cost and reliance on labor. Focus is also given on research and development (R&D) intensification to produce new species and varieties, and to develop cost-effective production and post-harvest handling technologies.\nThe most recent policy, the National Agrofood Policy (2011-2020), listed floriculture as one of its high value industries. The policy outlined six strategies to drive its development:\n1. Expand areas for commercial cultivation of flowers\nAreas for cultivation of flowers are expected to grow at 3.8% per annum, from 2,400 hectares in 2010 to 3,500 hectares in 2020. Expansion of 980 hectares of land for cultivation of flowers in the lowland will focus on ornamental orchids and tropical plants. Development of areas for cultivation of temperate flowers in the highlands will cover 120 hectares including the Lojing Highlands, Kelantan; Kinta Highlands, Perak, Sabah and Sarawak. Floriculture Nursery Commercial Zone will also be developed in strategic areas to meet demand for landscape plants.\n2. Strengthen the support services of the floriculture industry\nThe support services will be strengthened, through public-private partnerships for the development of a competitive floriculture industry. In addition, extension services will be intensified to promote and expand the use of up-to-date technologies among floriculture producers in an effort to increase productivity and ensure efficient postharvest handling.\n3. Encourage private investments\nThe private sector will be encouraged to be active players in the floriculture industry market due to the great potential offered by this industry. Agrobank soft loans will be widened to include financing the construction of infrastructures such as greenhouses and irrigation systems to accelerate private sector participation. Agrobank is a government-owned bank that provides financial services and banking facilities for the agriculture sector. In addition, reinvestment allowance by Agrobank will also be extended to floriculture producers to increase the use of up-to-date technologies.\n4. Diversify floriculture products\nIncentives will be given to develop quality products including handicrafts and interior decoration products through the use of flower and foliage preservation technologies. Use of preservation technologies will also be expanded for development of potpourri and fragrance products. Flower preservation had thus far used the pressed flower technology, which also involves the processes of drying and dyeing. The process has transformed many weeds and forest species into exotic preserved flowers and other plant parts.\n5. Expand markets of floriculture products\nEfforts will be made to expand access of floriculture products to existing and new markets through bilateral consultation and active participation in floriculture, landscape and tourism exhibitions. Floriculture industry players will also be encouraged to comply with the terms and conditions of importing countries such as sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) and Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) requirements. All types of flowers and foliages for example, require a Phytosanitary Certificate (PC) to enter into a country. The Department of Agriculture (DOA) Malaysia is responsible for managing regulations on plant health. Therefore, DOA Malaysia provides professional advisory services to facilitate exporters in the issuance of the PC, and to comply with other exportation protocols of importing countries.\n6. Strengthen R&D activities\nR&D activities will be intensified, especially in germplasm collection, production of new varieties and improvement in quality of floriculture products to create a competitive floriculture industry. The production of new varieties through hybridization is given priority in MARDI\u2019s orchid research programme. Cyclic night lighting, irradiation and modified atmosphere packing are among the technologies developed from R&D activities in MARDI. MARDI (Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute) is the research wing of the government, in the areas of agriculture and agro-based industry.\nIn line with the aforementioned policy strategies, the Government has allocated funding for development projects to be used under the 11th Malaysian Plan (11MP). The maximum funding for a Flower and Ornamental Plant Nursery sub project, is up to RM50,000 (US$12,500) for those with a minimum planting area of 0.2 hectares. It involves the cost of technology transfer, development of basic infrastructure, which include shade houses made from iron, irrigation system, farm equipment and input materials. RM50,000 (US$12,500) were also allocated under the Agrotech Floriculture Park Incentive, for each entrepreneur with a minimum area of \u200b\u200b0.4 hectares. Intended use is limited for planting area \u200b\u200bdevelopment, basic infrastructure such as iron shade houses, black netting (multilock) and irrigation system. Input material costs are to be borne by the entrepreneur. Another sub-project under the Flower and Ornamental Plants cluster, a maximum of RM500,000 (US$12,500) is allocated to a minimum of 10 people per cluster, for the development of the planting area, basic infrastructure facilities such as shading structures made of steel, irrigation system, farm equipment, input and promotional materials.\nTo attract new investments in the floriculture industry as well as promote the export of floriculture products, the government has also extended various tax and financial incentives. The \u2018Pioneer Status\u2019 is one such incentive that will entitle the business to five years of partial tax relief. An alternative to the Pioneer Status is the Investment Tax Allowance (ITA). Any businesses participating or intending to participate in a promoted activity or in the production of a promoted product may apply for the ITA approval. The amount of allowance that can be granted under the ITA is 60% of qualifying capital expenditure. Local companies engaged in exporting agricultural products, including floriculture are qualify for enhanced export allowance rates of up to 30%, 50% and 100%, depending on their export value. Furthermore, there are also incentives provided for R&D and training purposes.\nThe Malaysian government realized that a strong network is needed between the private industry players and government agencies to materialize growth of the industry, especially to increase export performance. Therefore, a platform to facilitate a workable private-public partnership, the Food and Agro Council for Export (FACE) was established to coordinate the implementation of agriculture and agro-based production for export. A Malaysian Agro Networking (MAN) committee was formed for each commodity; fruits, vegetables and floriculture. MAN (Floriculture) will serve as a medium of discussion between the Department of Agriculture (DOA) and other departments or agencies concerned, including industry players to understand the issues currently faced, to deliberate on strategies to overcome any hurdles, in order to increase the production of floriculture, especially for export. MAN (Floriculture) will also strengthen the Public-Private Partnership for the purpose of data exchange, and sharing of information, experiences and knowledge.\nThe floriculture industry in Malaysia has received attention in the development policies of the country, because it is viewed as an economically viable diversification option in the agriculture sector. More importantly, it has the potential to capture the interests of youth entrepreneurs to enter into the agriculture business. Indeed, the industry has developed into becoming a feasible commercial enterprise due to local and export demand, driven by the support from policy development and various incentives provided for the sector. Most of the existing and planned programs will hopefully lead to fulfill the government\u2019s aspiration to encourage growth and further expand the floriculture industry.\nMOA (1984-1991).

        "raw_content": "FDIC Won\u2019t Run Out of Money, But WaMu May be Toast\nEarlier this week, we sent out a note to our readers regarding the AP story published on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 entitled \u201cFederal bank insurance fund dwindling.\u201d Reported by Marcy Gordon of AP\u2019s DC bureau, the story quotes IRA\u2019s Christopher Whalen on the mounting angst felt by Americans with respect to the safety and soundness of their bank deposits.\nUnfortunately, for the reasons we stated in our comment, we believe that AP got the story entirely wrong:\n\u201cIn the chaos of the last few days, a lot of erroneous press reports are coming out about the FDIC and the deposit insurance fund. It is important for people to understand that the deposit insurance fund, like all federal trust funds, is simply an accounting entry with the US Treasury. There is no separate fund. The amount in the FDIC fund shows how much cash has been contributed by the banking industry to support the deposit fund. However, we need to make clear that the US Treasury will advance whatever cash is needed by FDIC to address bank failures and make good the deposit insurance guarantee. There is no issue regarding the bank insurance fund, but unfortunately most of the public do not understand this. The FDIC needs to make this clear in all of its public statements.\u201d\nEarly Wednesday we issued a statement to the media and called AP\u2019s editors to ask that they retract the story, but so far AP has refused. Yesterday the IRA spoke with Kathleen Carroll, executive editor of AP in New York, and again asked her to retract the story. Still no response.\nWe\u2019d like to thank the Detroit Free Press and a number of other publications that removed the AP story from their web sites. Unfortunately, the AP report was on the front of DrudgeReport\u2019s home page all day on Wednesday. This AP report, in our view, has greatly added to the anxiety and fear in the public\u2019s mind regarding bank safety and soundness. We don\u2019t believe that the AP deliberately is trying to worsen the financial crisis, but the negative effect remains. This issue is too important to get wrong.\nIn fairness to the AP and the other generalist reporters who are suddenly being forced to report on and write about financial matters that they neither understand nor appreciate the significance of to the general public, let us expand on why we have put out the $500 billion number in our earlier comments as a \u201cbackstop\u201d for the FDIC.\nFirst, even though the FDIC has access to all of the cash needed to resolve failing banks, the average citizen has no idea about the relationship between the Treasury and the FDIC. That is why we believe that President Bush, Senators Barrack Obama (D-IL) and John McCain (R-AZ), Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and FDIC chair Sheila Bair, need to hold a prime time press conference and announce a major funding initiative. Paulson\u2019s announcement yesterday had that effect for Wall Street, but somebody still needs to start talking to Mom & Dad, who have been terrorized and traumatized by and erroneous news reports.\nThe message: The Treasury stands behind the FDIC 100% and, when the smoke clears, any funds borrowed by the agency will eventually be repaid by the banking industry.\nSecond, when we made reference to $500 billion in backstop for the FDIC, only part of this amount is for resolving INSOLVENT banks. Remember, our estimate for failed banks by July 1, 2009, when we hope to be heading back to Leen\u2019s Lodge in down east Maine, is 110 failed banks, $850 billion in assets. If you suppose a 30% loss rate to the FDIC against that asset total, you are talking about $250 billion in today\u2019s dollars \u2013 that is, in real terms, far less than the S&L cleanup. No biggie.\nThe other part of that amount should, we believe, be held in readiness for Treasury to invest in preferred stock of SOLVENT banks that are wounded but cannot raise new capital. While we applaud Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson for his announcement yesterday of an RTC-type vehicle to help liquefy the balance sheets of commercial banks, we agree with our friend Josh Rosner of Graham Fisher in New York that the plan, as stated in press reports, is flawed:\n\u201cToday, in Washington, there are active discussions about the \u201cneed\u201d for the government to buy up the distressed mortgage backed securities and CDO assets that a year ago everyone knew were being hidden, overvalued and mis-marked by financial companies\u2026 Let us be clear, it is not citizen groups, private investors, equity investors or institutional investors broadly who are calling for this government purchase fund. It is almost exclusively being lobbied for by precisely those institutions that believed they were \u2018smarter than the rest of us\u2019, institutions who need to get those assets off their balance sheet at an inflated value lest they be at risk of large losses or worse.\u201d\nWhile we have no problem at all with the Treasury taking preferred equity positions in undercapitalized but still solvent commercial banks, we\u2019ve got a big problem with Hank Paulson\u2019s proposal to bail-out the remaining dealers like his former firm Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS). Indeed, the rescue of AIG (NYSE:AIG) was clearly not a bailout for the shareholders of that firm, but rather for the dealers in credit default swaps who were counterparties of that firm in the credit derivatives market. As one IRA reader said this week:\n\u201cI am sick of Reuters, AP, CNBC et al calling this a bailout. Nothing could be further from the reality of the situation. The AIG common shareholder was wiped out and the U.S. bought the largest insurer in the world for $85 billion \u2013 and using a loan with an interest coupon of 8 1/2%! Very similar to two great investments of the past, Mexico and Chrysler. The Treasury and Fed are stealing assets from stupid AIG shareholders. Goldman was going nuts yesterday trying to get enough money together to do the deal. Has to be close to the bottom when that happens.\u201d\nWe notice that the FDIC has instructed banks with losses on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to take third-quarter writedowns. Writing down impaired assets is the only way to get markets to clear. The joyous reception from congressional Democrats to Paulson\u2019s latest, massive bailout proposal smells an awful lot like yet another corporatist love fest between Washington\u2019s one-party government and the Sell Side investment banks. The good news is that the process of unwinding cares nothing for Washington\u2019s chattering mob.\nWhy WaMu May be Toast\nWe have spent a lot of quality time with members of the media this week. Many of them had just one thing in mind: Washington Mutual (NYSE:WM). Of course, most of the national media, who are the de-facto partners of the short selling hedge fund crowd, would not know a loan default if it bit them in the cojones. Twice even. But we are happy to spend time helping them understand these issues.\nSo how do we see WM? Let\u2019s start with some numbers as of 1H 2008:\nWashington Mutual Q2 2008 ($000)\nNotice that while the lead bank of WM reported a loss as of June 30, 2008, it generated $7.3 billion in pre-tax income in the first two quarters of the year. The trouble is, all of that income had to be diverted to loan loss provisions to cushion future charge-offs. Thus the almost 3:1 ratio between provisions and actual charge offs.\nWith the negative ROE, WM earns an overall rating of 21 on the IRA Banking Industry Stress Index vs. 1.4 for the industry. Remember, the maximum index value is 100. For ROE, WM is already at 100 vs. 1.8 for the industry. The rising default rate earns WM a 4.8 rating vs. 2.1 for the industry.\nWM was at 300bp or 3% charge offs at the end of the second quarter on an annualized basis. WM management has guided the Street to a 20% increase in charge off-activity in Q3, less than the increase in Q2 to be sure, but this suggests that the full year number could be over $8 billion. Our run rate projection for 2008 pre-tax income for WM\u2019s lead unit is $14 billion, assuming that expenses and revenue remain stable. But that assumption is tenuous with rising funding costs and expenses, part of the steady rise in the efficiency ratio of the entire industry. For the next few quarters, WM will be putting just about every penny of income into maintaining loss provisions.\nIf Hank Paulson et al in Washington are serious about bailing out the banking industry with RTC II, they can start by putting about $10 billion in new preferred equity into WM. At yesterday\u2019s closing price of $3 per common share, that gives the Treasury a two-thirds stake in the wounded bank. If David Bonderman, the founding partner of TPG who led a group that invested $7 billion in WM earlier this year at a much higher valuation, does not care for that scenario, then he can always get out his check book and take up all or part of the capital raise. After all, if you\u2019re going to be diluted down to nothing, might as well do it yourself. But with \u201conly\u201d $3.3 billion in net worth according to Forbes, this opportunity may beyond even Bonderman.\nOriginally published at The Institutional Risk Analytics and reproduced here with the author\u2019s permission.\nFDIC Won\u2019t Run Out of Money, But WaMu May be Toast added by Chris Whalen on September 19, 2008\n8 Responses to \"FDIC Won\u2019t Run Out of Money, But WaMu May be Toast\"\nHow can they be toast when Paulson already annouced government is going to buy out all the bad loans\u2026\nIt\u2019s good to hear another side of the story, interesting way to look at things.\nRe FDIC: Sure, there is insurance, but how long do you think it would take to get paid?\nVery poorly written article.\nWARREN BIZZARO September 21, 2008 at 10:28 pm\nare you joking ? are you a computer ? are you enjoying the sound of your 1/2 hand clapping ? did i see you @ your day job selling statues of herbert hoover and knishes?? what no quant no stats just your super secret reporter sources , hmmm lois jimmy and peter parker ? or maybe the national enquirer!!\nMAIN STREET INVESOR October 3, 2008 at 9:28 am\nJP MORGAN CHASE (JAMIE AND HIS DEMONS ) AND THE FDIC (SHELIA BLAIR AND HER OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEMONS )IT SEEMS ON REFLECTION THEY JUMPED THE GUN ON THE TAKEOVER OF WASHINGTON MUTUAL.

        "raw_content": "\u2b05 Commentary on \u201cMy Virginity...\nFive reasons my mom is awesome. \u27a1\n[Guest Post] Should Catholics only date Catholics?\nGuest blogger Anthony Elias and his soon to be wife, Jackie!\nWhen I was enrolled at my evangelical Protestant seminary, I knew it was important for me to date and eventually marry someone who was of the same evangelical (\u201cnon-denominational\u201d) Christian faith. Pastor Mark Driscoll had even persuaded me that I needed to find someone who was of a similar evangelical flavor (\u201cit doesn\u2019t make sense to have your wife praying in tongues at the dinner table while you\u2019re trying to cast out her demon.\u201d)\nAfter emotionally leaving the seminary because I wanted to become Catholic, there was no doubt in my mind that if God did not call me to become a priest, I would marry a Catholic. If Jesus Christ and His Church were the most important things in my life, how could I even think about marrying someone who wouldn\u2019t share that same joy with me? CatholicMatch.com sounded like a fantastic idea, and I was beyond blessed to meet Jackie within days of being on the site (she\u2019s the greatest blessing of my entire life and we\u2019re getting married on June 1).\nI\u2019ve been surprised to find a different mentality among many faithful Catholics in the pews. Several young women have asked me if I converted to Catholicism because of Jackie and are disappointed when I say no because, they say, \u201cmy boyfriend is non-denominational and we\u2019re trying to figure out what we would do with kids and going to church and stuff.\u201d I like to call this the most predictable problem ever. Many seem to think that if cupid points them to someone with good vibes and they \u201cfall in love,\u201d then that person is the one, no matter if he or she is of the same religion or even has a basic belief in God. Others don\u2019t think very hard about the fact that dating can lead to marriage (\u201cI just want to know them a little better,\u201d) and are eventually confronted with \u201cthe most predictable problem ever.\u201d\nInstead of being a typical overzealous convert and answering the post\u2019s title, \u201cYes, of course, and no amount of inspiring stories would convince me otherwise,\u201d let\u2019s see what the Catholic Church says. (A caveat: the following is for Catholics who believe that Jesus Christ founded his Church and gave the apostles and their successors the authority to proclaim doctrine and practice. If these are \u201cman-made rules\u201d to you, I would recommend \u201cWhat\u2019s Your Authority\u201d and other articles about apostolic succession on Catholic.com)\nParagraphs #1633-1637 in the Catholic Catechism address what is called \u201cmixed marriage\u201d and \u201cdisparity of cult.\u201d Mixed marriage is a Catholic marrying a non-Catholic Christian, while \u201cdisparity of cult\u201d describes a Catholic marrying a non-Christian. As long as the couples are marrying in the Catholic Church and are willing to raise the children in the Church, mixed marriage and disparity of cult are not explicitly forbidden, though disparity of cult is especially discouraged. However, as you can read below, the \u201cdifficulties of mixed marriage must not be underestimated,\u201d and the marriage can lead to \u201creligious indifference\u201d (all religions are the same, right? How important is the Eucharist?).\nIn conclusion, should Catholics only date Catholics? The Catholic Church does not give an unequivocal answer, so I can\u2019t say more than that. However, the Church does say, IT MAY BE A BAD IDEA, THINK HARDER ROMEO, and that\u2019s advice we all could use.\nAbout the blogger: Anthony Elias writes at www.evangelicaltocatholic.com .

        "raw_content": "Ruling Puts Onus on Sales Agents\nApril 06, 1986|DICK TURPIN\nIt's getting rough out there for that much-maligned real estate salesperson.\nSome may say, that's tough, it's about time.\nIn a landmark case, the courts have ruled that brokers are responsible not only for what they know but for what they would have known had they made a reasonable effort to find out.\nThat decision concerned the sale of a house and did not address any non-residential application.\nThe shoring up of responsibility came in the wake of the landmark California case, Easton vs. Strassburger, involving a broker who sold a home in tiny Diablo, in Contra Costa County, for $170,000 in 1976.\n(According to court records, the house was built on improperly impacted soil. It slid, causing a crack in the dwelling, dropping the home's value to $20,000, with repair estimates exceeding $200,000.)\nArt Mazirow, an attorney who has long specialized in realty law, citing the ruling in a telephone interview, drew no distinction between a broker selling a home or one making a deal involving a shopping center.\nTo date, there has been no definitive court ruling on the same ethics applying to commercial or industrial land or property. But it's bound to come.\n\"The logic, the theory and the duty\" involved are the same, Mazirow believes. There is really no distinction, he added, if, for example, in a potential, non-residential transaction, land is contaminated by toxic material. The potential buyer should be given that information.\nIf that fact is not revealed, the commercial broker would be just as liable as a residential broker who didn't know or learn, for instance, that a home contained some dire fault.\nMazirow, a partner in the Los Angeles law firm of Buchalter, Newer, Fields, Chrystie & Younger, appeared recently before a very attentive audience--members of the Society of Industrial Realtors, Southern California chapter.\nHe noted that the court applied Article 9 of the National Assn. of Realtors' own code of ethics to establish the affirmative obligation on the part of brokers to discover adverse factors about a transaction.\n\"The real estate industry itself created the duty,\" he added.\n\"A real estate license is the bare minimum for real estate salespersons today because the legal obligations that they now have are so substantial. Salespeople must be controlled and managed today as never before in order to prevent lawsuits from being filed.\"\nTypically, Mazirow said, litigation involves young and \"first-deal\" brokers.\n\"I believe that the problem arises because of the interplay of several factors; the amount of knowledge and information that the law requires a licensed real estate person to have, has been increased dramatically in recent years; the increased amount of disclosures that must be given and--perhaps most important--the contingency fee the broker is only paid if the transaction closes,\" he said.\n\"Sometimes, the urgency to obtain the commission is so great that the legal obligations take a back seat.\"\nIf a client alleges that the broker breached the fiduciary obligation to the client by not fully disclosing all material facts, the burden of proof is shifted to the broker to prove that there was full disclosure, the attorney said.\nAs a result of the Easton vs. Strassburger ruling, brokers are responsible not only for what they know but for what they might have learned by reasonable investigation, he emphasized.\nWhen representing investment buyers, he said, brokers also have the duty to reveal future broker relationships, particularly if they know that a buyer plans to immediately re-sell the property in question. The broker has a fiduciary responsibility to every party to a transaction, he stressed.\n\"If the listing broker offers a property at less than the listing price and has not advised the client of this, it may be grounds for disciplinary action. The key, therefore, to a fiduciary relationship for a broker is disclosure.\"\nAgain, acknowledging that the Easton vs. Strassburger case focused on a residential transaction, Mazirow told the industrial brokers attending the Jonathan Club function:\n\"I can think of no theoretical reason why commercial and industrial brokers are not affected by the case.\"\nA fair and friend-of-the court warning?\nLos Angeles' star-power tables\nState Targets Real Estate Broker, Firm\nDebate Continues on Reverse Mortgages",

        "raw_content": "Al Smith Dinner a potential cease-fire in Obama-Romney battle\nOctober 18, 2012|By Michael A. Memoli\nPresident Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney at\u2026 (Michael Reynolds / AFP/Getty\u2026)\nWASHINGTON -- After their acrimonious debate and bitter barbs on the campaign trail, can Barack Obama and Mitt Romney laugh it off?\nThe presidential hopefuls will get the chance Thursday night when they share a stage at the Alfred E. Smith Dinner, an annual benefit hosted by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York that has provided comic relief every four years near the end of the campaign.\nPart roast, part stand-up routine, Obama and Romney are likely to deliver far more playful jabs at one another at the Manhattan dinner than they did Tuesday night in the second of three debates.\nIn 2008, it was Obama and John McCain joking about their debate when the senator from Arizona drew criticism for referring to his opponent as \"that one.\" The Republican nominee said it was all in good fun. \"In fact, he even has a pet name for me: George Bush.\"\nMcCain also found easy fodder in the epic Democratic primary fight of that year.\n\"Even in this room full of proud Manhattan Democrats, I can't shake that feeling that some people here are pulling for me,\" he said, before turning to his Senate colleague from New York to say: \"I'm delighted to see you here tonight, Hillary.\"\nObama was the butt of his own jokes just as much as McCain. He joked that his first name was Swahili for \"that one,\" and noted that he obviously got his middle name, Hussein, \"from someone who never thought I\u2019d run for president.\"\n\"Contrary to the rumors you have heard, I was not born in a manger,\" he said. \"I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jor-El to save the planet Earth.\"\nBoth closed with praise for one another, a rare kind word in the closing weeks of a brawl of a campaign.\n\"I don't want it getting out of this room, but my opponent is an impressive fellow in many ways,\" McCain said of Obama. \"I've had a few glimpses of this man at his best, and I admire his great skill, energy and determination.\"\n\"No matter what differences or divisions or arguments we're having right now, we ultimately belong to something bigger and more lasting than a political party,\" Obama said. \"We belong to a community. We share a country. We are all children of God.\"\nObama and McCain had a brief working relationship in the Senate that predated the presidential race, which lent some credibility to the harmonious convergence. In contrast, the Obama-Romney relationship appears icy at best, and glimpses of mutual dislike flared at this week's town-hall-style debate.\nAdding further intrigue to dinner Thursday is Obama\u2019s uneasy relationship with the archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who has been an outspoken critic of the administration\u2019s policy regarding contraceptive coverage in the new healthcare reform law.\nThe presidential candidates typically sit on both sides of the archbishop at the dinner. Dolan said this summer that he had received \"stacks of mail\" protesting the invitation of Obama this year.\n\"For seven decades, the Al Smith Dinner here in New York has been an acclaimed example of such civility in political life,\" he wrote on his blog. \"It is the only time outside of the presidential debates that the two presidential candidates come together ... for an evening of positive, upbeat, patriotic, enjoyable civil discourse.\"\n\"Some have told me the invitation is a scandal. That charge weighs on me, as it would on any person of faith. ... In the end, I'm encouraged by the example of Jesus, who was blistered by his critics for dining with those some considered sinners; and by the recognition that, if I only sat down with people who agreed with me, and I with them, or with those who were saints, I'd be taking all my meals alone.\"\nThe Al Smith Dinner is one of several stops for the president in New York on Thursday. He is scheduled to tape an appearance on \"The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,\" his second appearance as president on the Comedy Central news satire. He's also to meet with a group of his top donors.\nHe is set to begin the day with a campaign stop in Manchester, N.H., his first stop in the battleground state since he appeared there on the day after the Democratic National Convention.\ntwitter.com/@mikememoli\nMilwaukee Sikh shooting: Barack Obama, Mitt Romney...\nColorado shooting yields no reprieve in Obama-Romney combat...\nThe Obama-Romney battlefield: Electoral college ensures...\nEyeing Obama, Mitt Romney brings jobs message to Ohio",

        "title": "Titling Assets: Pitfalls to Avoid \u2013 The Asset Protection News",
        "raw_content": "Volume XVI, Number 2 \u2013 June/July 2007\nTITLING ASSETS:\nPitfalls To Be Avoided \u2013 Part I\nBACKGROUND. Many individuals attempt to implement asset protection on their own (See, APN, Vol. III, No. 3). Among the \u201cdo-it-yourself\u201d methods commonly utilized is titling and re-titling assets among a spouse, children and others (friends & family members). Instead of accomplishing the desired protection, such \u201cstrategy\u201d often exposes the assets to additional creditors, causes family conflicts, and raises gift and estate tax issues. Therefore, individuals should proceed with caution and utilize experienced counsel when titling new assets or transferring title to existing assets. This issue of the APN is the first of two parts addressing the most frequent failings of individuals attempting to implement do-it-yourself asset protection by titling/retitling assets.\nPITFALL #1: NOT GETTING ADVICE OF EXPERIENCED COUNSEL. Without first conferring with legal counsel, an individual (transferor) transfers assets in an attempt to protect them. As a result, the transferor exposes assets to more liabilities than anticipated (creditors of the transferee), and receives less protection from third party claims than would be obtained with proper planning. In addition, titling assets among spouse, children and others often has gift and estate tax ramifications that are problematic to undo later. Competent legal counsel will assist an individual in obtaining the maximum protection of assets with the minimum exposure to liabilities and headaches.\nPITFALL #2: MAKING FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS. An individual who becomes aware of a possible claim often rushes to gift or sell assets to try to protect them from creditors. In most states, a creditor who is unable to collect on a judgment will be able to challenge gifts and other transfers made within 4 years of the time the action on which the judgment is made arose, and, if successful, a court will undo the transfer (that is, put the property back in the transferor\u2019s hands \u2013 available to the transferor\u2019s creditors). Any gift, or sale made for less than fair market value, including (particularly) to family or friends, within the period provided by the state\u2019s fraudulent transfer laws, would likely result in a court setting aside the transfer.\nPITFALL #3: ASSUMING THAT TRANSFER OF TITLE TO A SPOUSE WILL PROTECT THE ASSET. An individual transfers assets to his spouse believing that the assets will be protected from claims against him. This assumes that the spouse does not work, or have an interest, in the individual\u2019s business affairs. More importantly, this also assumes that the spouse will never be liable to anyone for any reason (not have creditors of her own) \u2013 such as credit card debts, medical bills, intentional torts, accidents, etc., that she will never divorce him, or die before him and leave the assets to him in her will (or by state law). When an individual titles assets in the name of his spouse (without professional advice), there may be estate tax ramifications which will cause more estate taxes to be paid on the second death than would be paid with proper planning. Although the Internal Revenue Code permits U.S. citizen spouses to transfer title back and forth between themselves with no immediate gift tax consequence, if a recipient spouse is a not a U.S. citizen, there will be gift taxes on transfers in excess of $112,000 per year. Finally, and most importantly, an individual\u2019s creditor may be able to undo the transfer to the spouse, if a court finds it to be a fraudulent transfer (4 year \u201cwindow\u201d).\nPITFALL #4: ASSUMING THAT TENANCY BY THE ENTIRETY PROVIDES ADEQUATE PROTECTION. Tenancy by the Entirety (TBE) is a form of ownership recognized under common law, which can be created and exist only during marriage. Traditionally, one spouse cannot transfer or mortgage TBE property without the other spouse\u2019s written consent (although statutes have changed this in certain states). Married individuals living in states that continue to recognize traditional TBE (such as Delaware, D.C., Florida, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Rhode Island) may believe that their assets are completely protected if they are held as TBE. Although a creditor of one spouse generally cannot reach traditional TBE property in states recognizing TBE, bankruptcy courts have been known to find ways to reach the debtor spouse\u2019s interest, by partition or foreclosure, or otherwise. There are no gift tax concerns in creating the TBE, if the donee spouse is a US citizen. Finally, death or divorce ends any TBE protection.\nPITFALL #5: GIVING UP OWNERSHIP OR CONTROL. An individual (\u201coriginal owner\u201d) sometimes retitles solely owned property with another (\u201cadded owner\u201d) as tenants in common (TIC) or as joint tenants with right of survivorship (JTWROS). A TIC is a form of ownership where the interests are unilaterally severable (that is, one owner can transfer his interest without the consent of the other). Since either owner may transfer his/her interest without the other\u2019s consent, the creditor of either owner may reach that debtor\u2019s interest in the property. The death of the added owner would not, absent a provision in the that person\u2019s will (or under state intestate succession law), return the property interest to the original owner. Creditors (including spouses) of the estate of the deceased added owner would be able to reach the deceased\u2019s interest in the property held as TIC. Thus, the surviving original owner could end up with an unwanted and uncooperative \u201cpartner\u201d (creditor or spouse of the added owner). A JTWROS is similar to a TIC in that it is also unilaterally severable; one owner may transfer his/her interest without the other\u2019s consent. Thus, while the transferee is alive, his/her creditors (including spouses) may reach the his/her interest in the property. The JTWROS differs from a TIC only upon the death of one of the co-owners. Should the original owner die first, the original owner\u2019s creditors would be out of luck, as the entire property interest would belong to the added owner. Conversely, should the added owner die first, the entire property interest would vest back in the original owner, providing no protection from the original owner\u2019s creditors. The creation of a TIC or a JTWROS is subject to fraudulent transfer scrutiny and to partition/severance by a court, and neither should be considered an effective protective strategy.\nCONCLUSION. Use experienced, qualified counsel \u2013 and stay tuned for the rest of our series on pitfalls to be avoided in titling assets.\n\u2190 Group Trusts \u2013 Special Planning Technique Examined Contempt of Court \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Tesla's Inherent Safety Saves Five Joyriding Teenagers In Germany\nBy BeauHD from Slashdot's testament-to-safety department:\nAccording to German newspaper Merkur, one 18-year old and four of her friends lost control of her father's Model S electric vehicle. The car reportedly flew more than 80 feet into a field before it came to a stop. Even though the driver and two of the passengers were airlifted to hospitals, none of their injuries were life-threatening, thanks largely in part to Tesla's skateboard chassis. Ars Technica writes, \"The skateboard chassis used by the Model S and Model X is extremely safe, with crumple zones that are unconcerned with engines that can transfer kinetic energy into the passengers during a frontal collision.\" The images of the crash are not pretty, but one could imagine how much worse they would be if a front-engined internal combustion vehicle were involved instead of the Tesla Model S.\nGoogle News Will Now Highlight Local News Sources For Major Stories\nBy BeauHD from Slashdot's little-guy department:\nAn anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Google's News section will now highlight the importance of local news sources. \"When a local story is picked up by national publishers, it can be difficult for local sources to be heard even after they've done the legwork and research to break a story,\" admits James Morehead, Google News product manager. Google is helping with a new change today that will see a \"Local Source\" tag applied to all Google News instances. Google is tagging local news based on where a publisher has written about previously and matching it to a story location. Tagged articles will be available on the web and in Google's iOS and Android apps, and will serve as a way to highlight a local source on a national story.\nScientists: Electric Vehicles Produce As Many Toxins As Dirty Diesels\nAn anonymous reader writes: Thanks to ongoing efforts to reduce engine emissions, nowadays only 10% to 15% of particulate emissions from traffic are coming from vehicles' tailpipes. The remainder originates in tire, road surface and brake wear. A study by Victor Timmers and Peter Achten published in Atmospheric Environment has now found that the extra weight of electric vehicles causes non-tailpipe emissions to increase by about as much as the omission of the internal combustion engine saves. Atmospheric particulates have been shown to cause cancer, cardiovascular disease and respiratory diseases and are widely considered as the most harmful form of air pollution. Achten said, \"We found that non-exhaust emissions, from brakes, tires and the road, are far larger than exhaust emissions in all modern cars. These are more toxic than emissions from modern engines so they are likely to be key factors in the extra heart attacks, strokes and asthma attacks seen when air pollution levels surge.\" The study shows that non-exhaust emissions a vehicle produces is directly related to its weight. Scientists found that electric and eco-friendly vehicles weighed around 24 percent more than conventional vehicles, which in turn contributes to more wear on the tires.\nFive Solomon Islands Disappear Into The Pacific Ocean As A Result Of Climate Change\nBy BeauHD from Slashdot's rising-sea-levels department:\nAn anonymous reader writes: Climate change strikes again. A paper published in the journal Environmental Research Letters says five of the Solomon Islands have completely submerged underwater due to man-made climate change, and six more have experienced a dramatic reduction in shoreline. The Solomon Islands has a population of a little more than 500,000 people, many of whom have been adversely affected by rising sea levels in recent years. NASA scientist James Hansen estimated that seas could rise by seven meters within the next century. In 2014, Losing Ground issued a report that shows how large areas of the Louisiana coastline are being lost to rising sea levels. A 2011 study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey determined that the state's wetlands were being lost at a rate of \"a football field per hour.\" Michael Edison Hayden writes from ABC News, \"The Solomon Islands provides a preview of how sea-level rise could affect other coastal communities in the coming years, according to the study, largely because the speed which erosion is taking place has been accelerated by a \"synergistic interaction\" with the waves that surround it.\nScientists Develop 'Second Skin' To Smooth Wrinkles\nBy BeauHD from Slashdot's human-reptile department:\nAn anonymous reader writes a report from CBS News: MIT researchers have developed a \"second skin\" that could be used to smooth wrinkles, protect skin from damage, or administer medications to treat skin conditions, such as eczema. \"It's an invisible layer that can provide a barrier, provide cosmetic improvement, and potentially deliver a drug locally to the area that's being treated,\" Daniel Anderson said in a university news release. \"We started thinking about how we might be able to control the properties of skin by coating it with polymers that would impart beneficial effects,\" said Anderson. \"We also wanted it to be invisible and comfortable.\" The scientists created a library of more than 100 potential polymers, and they tested each material in order to determine which one would most closely match the appearance and characteristics of healthy skin. The \"second skin\" is applied in two steps. Both layers are applied as creams or ointments. Once on the skin, XPL is nearly invisible. It can remain on the skin for up to 24 hours, the study authors said. Researchers found the polymer was able to reshape \"eye bags\" beneath the lower eyelids, and the effect lasted about 24 hours. It also treated dry skin and improved hydration.\n'Battlefield 1' Trailer Most Liked In YouTube History, 'Infinite Warfare' Trailer Most Disliked\nBy BeauHD from Slashdot's statistical-data department:\nAn anonymous reader writes: The Battlefield 1 reveal trailer has officially passed 20 million views, with around 1 million likes and just 18,500 dislikes. Meanwhile, Infinite Warfare's announcement trailer has passed 14 million views, but with only 273,819 likes and a staggering 1.3 million dislikes. The Battlefield 1 trailer is YouTube's most liked trailer of all-time, while Infinity Ward's trailer is YouTube's most disliked trailer of all-time. How is that for a statistic? Battlefield and Call of Duty have been direct competitors in the FPS space for quite some time now, but the differences between each developer's upcoming game has never been more apparent. We can only wait and see if these likes/dislikes provide any insight as to how well each game will sell when they're released later in the year. Battlefield 1 comes out first, launching on October 21, while Infinite Warfare is slated to debut on November 4. In addition, Infinite Warfare has become the 8th most disliked video ever on YouTube.

The report did not disappoint as today the Panama Papers affair has widened, with a huge database of documents relating to more than 200,000 offshore accounts posted online. The database can be accessed at offshoreleaks.icij.org. The papers were leaked by a source known as \"Jony Doe,\" and the papers belonged to the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) decided to make the database public despite a \"cease and desist\" order issued by the law firm.\nNewspaper Chain CEO 'Pleased' To Announce IT Plan, Then Fires Tech Staff\nBy BeauHD from Slashdot's turn-of-events department:\ndcblogs writes from a report on Computerworld: The McClatchy Company, which operates a major chain of newspapers in the U.S., is moving IT work overseas. The number of affected jobs, based on employee estimates, range from 120 to 150. The chain owns about 30 newspapers, including The Sacramento Bee, where McClatchy is based; The Fresno Bee, The News and Observer in Raleigh, N.C., The State in Columbia, S.C. and the Miami Herald. In a letter sent to the chain's IT employees in late March, McClatchy CEO Patrick Talamantes detailed all the improvements a contract with the outsourcing firm, India-based Wipro, will bring, but buries, well down in the letter what should have been in its lead paragraph: There will be cutbacks of U.S. staff. The letter received by McClatchy's IT employees from Talamantes begins by telling them [the company] is \"pleased to unveil our new IT Transformational Program, a program designed to provide improved service to all technology users, accelerated development and delivery of technology solutions and products, variable demand-based technology resources and access to modern and cutting-edge skills and platforms.\" Seven paragraphs down in the letter, he lowers the boom: \"As we embark on the implementation phase, there will be a realignment of resources requiring a reduction in McClatchy technology staff.\" IT employees thought they were part of the solution to McClatchy's tech direction, not the problem. Said one IT employee: \"This has taken us all by surprise. I'm not saying that we felt untouchable as they have been doing layoffs for the past 10 years, but being part of IT we felt that we had a big part in what happens\" in the company. Employees are now training their replacements.\nFTC Orders Apple, Google, Microsoft, BlackBerry, Samsung To Divulge Mobile Security Practices\nBy BeauHD from Slashdot's key-to-understanding department:\ncoondoggie quotes a report from Networkworld: The Federal Trade Commission today said it issued a 10-page letter to eight leading players in the mobile communications arena requiring them to tell the agency how they issue security updates to address vulnerabilities in smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. Apple, BlackBerry, Google, HTC America, LG Electronics, Microsoft, Motorola Mobility, and Samsung must provide the following: The factors that they consider in deciding whether to patch a vulnerability on a particular mobile device, detailed data on the specific mobile devices they have offered for sale to consumers since August 2013, the vulnerabilities that have affected those devices, and whether and when the company patched such vulnerabilities.\nUganda, Where a Book Can Cost a Month's Salary\nBy manishs from Slashdot's let-there-be-light department:\nAn anonymous reader shared with us a BBC report on Uganda, where books are unbelievably expensive to afford. The publication reports that it almost feels like a black market for people looking to purchase a book in the landlocked country in East Africa. A book Nothing Left To Steal by South African journalist Mzilikazi wa Afrika (less than $15 on Amazon.com), for instance, is selling in the country for 140,000 Ugandan shillings ($42). This might sound reasonable to most of us, but for a country with a poor economy, BBC reports, this amount can \"buy a week's worth of groceries for a family.\" People, in fact, look for friends going on a foreign trip to help them buy books. Many books are simply not available to them, and the ones that are, they are too expensive in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. From the report: I did splurge once on a book by Guinea's revolutionary leader Ahmed Sekou Toure. It set me back $60 -- the pan-Africanist in me got the better of me that day. Waitresses in downtown Kampala barely earn $60 in a month.One of the encouraging things mentioned in the report is a growing desire among people to read books and wanting to share it with their friends and families despite the struggle. Someone named Rosey Sembatya has started the Malaika Children's Mobile Library. \"My sister has four children now and I've been finding it very difficult to buy them books because they're quite expensive,\" she told BBC. The library is in the spare room of a two-bedroom house she rents. For a $30 annual fee, each child can borrow three books a week. It's an incredible read, and we urge you to read it in its entirety.\nOpera Launches 'Free And Unlimited' VPN App For iOS\nBy BeauHD from Slashdot's geo-blocked department:\nOpera has launched a new VPN app for iOS that is free to use and includes unlimited data. The app uses the US-based SurfEasy VPN service acquired by Opera last March. Opera is promising that its mobile VPN is free for life, with no subscription needed. For comparison, SurfEasy's standalone apps for Android and iOS do charge subscription fees. Opera says the app is \"especially relevant on campuses and workplaces,\" where Wi-Fi provided by one institution may have limited access to \"social media and video streaming websites.\" The software blocks ads and trackers, in addition to allowing users to access geo-blocked content by routing their internet connection through another country. You can download the app here.\nGoogle Testing a Radical Change By Turning People's Search Results Black\nBy manishs from Slashdot's black-is-the-new-black department:\nGoogle may have plans to do a visual tweak to its search results. The company appears to be testing black search result links since the weekend, according to multiple reports. While some users are pleased with this tweak, many users have already posted their grievances on Google help forums. Some users note that it has become hard to tell which links they have already clicked. The Telegraph reports: Google puts a lot of thought into the exact colours it uses in its services -- and for a good reason. A few years ago its A/B test of different shades of blue -- nicknamed \"50 shades of blue\" -- earned the company an extra $200 million (\u00c2\u00a3138 million). Designers at Google couldn't decide between two different blues, so they decided to test 41 shades between each blue to see which users preferred. In the test, Google showed each shade to one per cent of its users, and found that users were more likely to click on a slightly more purple shade.\n4Mbps Still The Standard For One Govt Broadband Grant Program\nBy manishs from Slashdot's affinity-for-fast-internet-broadband department:\nAn anonymous reader cites an Ars Technica report: Four U.S. senators say that the Internet speed standard for a government grant program shouldn't be stuck at 4Mbps. The Community Connect program run by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) funds broadband deployment in rural communities, but it uses a speed standard of just 4Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream. Even that speed is an increase over the 3Mbps (download and upload combined) standard the program used until just a few weeks ago. US Senators Angus King (I-Maine), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) say that the USDA didn't raise the standard high enough. In a letter last week to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack, the senators questioned the decision to set the grant program's speed threshold below the 10Mbps/1Mbps standard used by a separate USDA loan program. \"Earlier this month, USDA upped broadband speed requirements for the Broadband Access Loan Program to 10Mbps, while Community Connect was only upped to 4Mbps,\" the senators noted. \"In order to maintain the programs' relevance in an age of rapidly increasing demand for bandwidth, we strongly urge you to consider updating their broadband speed definitions, particularly the Community Connect Program's Minimum Broadband Service benchmark.\"\nSecurity Expert Jailed For Reporting Vulnerabilities In Lee County, FL Elections\nBy manishs from Slashdot's this-is-what-you-want,-this-is-what-you-get department:\nrootmon writes: Information Security Professional David Levin was arrested 3 months after reporting un-patched SQL injection vulnerabilities in the Lee County, Florida Elections Office run by Sharon Harrington, the Lee County Supervisor of Elections. Harrington's office has been in the news before for voting systems problems (for example in during the 2012 election, 35 districts in Lee County had to remain open 3 hours past the closing of polls due to long lines and equipment issues, wasting $800,000 to $1.6 million of taxpayer money on incompatible iPads for which her office is facing an audit. Rather than fixing the issues in their systems, they chose to charge the whistleblower with three third-degree felonies. The News Press also has several related interviews.\nMicrosoft Hits $1 Trillion In Total Cumulative Revenue: Reports\nBy manishs from Slashdot's 'trillion-dollar-company' department:\nAn anonymous reader writes: Microsoft has hit a major milestone: $1 trillion in all-time cumulative revenue. The finding was first spotted by Jeff Reifman, a tech consultant. According to him, Microsoft hit the milestone in its last quarter. Interestingly, Apple also hit $1 trillion in revenue in 2015. As for profits, Microsoft currently leads the chart with $265.2 billion with Apple trying to close in with $261.6 billion. \"You might expect a company to announce a milestone like this and bask in this incredible accomplishment -- but not Microsoft,\" writes Reifman. \"It chose to stay silent as it faces increased public scrutiny for holding $108.3 billion in earnings offshore (an incredible 41% of its all-time profit) and its history of tax dodging at home in Washington State.\"Microsoft blog MSPowerUser says it independently verified the numbers. According to which, Microsoft's total cumulative revenue as of last earnings call is 1001.569 billion.\nTwitter Blocks Feds From Data Mining Service\nBy manishs from Slashdot's get-off-my-lawn department:\nAn anonymous reader cites a report on USA Today: Online social media company Twitter has reportedly blocked U.S. intelligence agencies from access to a widely used data mining service it partly owns. Twitter told Dataminr, the business partner that sifts through and provides access to the full output of the San Francisco-based firm's social media postings known as tweets, that it didn't want the service provided to government investigators, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Twitter made the decision because the company did not like the \"optics\" of appearing too close to U.S. spy agencies, the Journal reported, citing an unidentified intelligence official. The issue could further escalate the public privacy vs. government security tensions between high tech firms and the federal government as investigators seek access to social media and other electronic data in an effort to detect and avert suspected terrorist plots. Newsweek's Kenneth Li said: \"This makes no sense. So, dataminr's hedge fund customers are ok, but not the government?\"\nCreators Of Siri Demo Their Next AI Assistant Viv, It's Far More Open Platform\nBy manishs from Slashdot's smart-bots-are-coming department:\nA small company called Viv on Monday unveiled a \"frictionless\", artificially intelligent software also called Viv, which understands complicated human queries and connects with other apps to get your work done more conveniently and efficiently. Viv was demonstrated live at TechCrunch's Disrupt NY conference on Monday. Dag Kittlaus, co-founder of Viv, and creator of Siri, said that the idea behind it is to open the app to all developers so that they could leverage their technology. (Interestingly, under the realm of Apple, Siri, five years since first launched, is still not open for developers.) Ben Popper, reports for The Verge: The major difference between Siri and Viv is that the latter is a far more open platform. One of the biggest frustrations with Siri is that it has only a small number of tasks it can complete. For the vast multitude of requests or queries, Siri will default to a generic web search. Viv's approach is much closer to Amazon's Alexa or Facebook's Messenger bots, offering the ability to connect with third party merchants and vendors so that it can execute on requests to purchase goods or book reservations. The company's tagline -- intelligence becomes a utility -- nicely sums up its goal of powering the conversational AI inside a multitude of gadgets and digital services.\nBy manishs from Slashdot's Facebook-playing-the-decider department:\nMichael Nunez, reporting for Gizmodo: Facebook workers routinely suppressed news stories of interest to conservative readers from the social network's influential \"trending\" news section, according to a former journalist who worked on the project. This individual says that workers prevented stories about the right-wing CPAC gathering, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, and other conservative topics from appearing in the highly-influential section, even though they were organically trending among the site's users. In other words, Facebook's news section operates like a traditional newsroom, reflecting the biases of its workers and the institutional imperatives of the corporation. Imposing human editorial values onto the lists of topics an algorithm spits out is by no means a bad thing -- but it is in stark contrast to the company's claims that the trending module simply lists \"topics that have recently become popular on Facebook.\" The revelation comes amid a report on the same publication which claimed that a small group of journalists controlled and decided what should trend on Facebook. Also recently, a leaked screenshot revealed Facebook employees asking whether they should do something to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the president.\nEmail Mishap Leaks Google Staff Data\nBy manishs from Slashdot's email-mishap-at-email-giant-house department:\nAn anonymous reader writes: Google has suffered a data breach which compromised the security of its employees, after the company's staff benefits vendor mistakenly sent an email containing sensitive data to the wrong recipient. Google has sent a formal apology to an undisclosed number of affected employees. The letter notifies of the data breach and advises staff to register for free identity protection checks and credit monitoring for the next two years. The document explains how the third-party company, which provides Google with benefits management services, sent the personal information to a benefits manager at another firm by accident. The data included staff names and social security numbers, among other sensitive details.\nParents Could Be Sued By Their Kids For Posting Pictures of Them On Facebook\nBy manishs from Slashdot's sharing,-oversharing,-crossing-the-line department:\nNext time you share pictures of your children on Facebook, you will want to take their permission before doing that. French authorities have warned parents in France of fines of up to $50,000 and a year in prison for publishing intimate photos of their children on social media without permission. From a Guardian report: It's a development that could give pause for thought for many parents used to sharing details of their children's lives across social media. A 2015 study by internet company Nominet found parents in the UK post nearly 200 photos of their under fives online every year, meaning a child will feature in around 1,000 online photos before their fifth birthday. [...] \"In a few years, children could easily take their parents to court for publishing photos of them when they were younger,\" Eric Delcroix, an expert on internet law and ethics, told Le Figaro. \"Children at certain stages do not wish to be photographed or still less for those photos to be made public,\" he added.It may seem like an absurd law to many, but think about the potential consequences of putting a kid's picture on social media. Among others, we've seen plenty of pictures becoming meme on the web.",

        "raw_content": "In 1940, eighteen-year old Juliet Armstrong is reluctantly recruited into the world of espionage. Sent to an obscure department of MI5 tasked with monitoring the comings and goings of British Fascist sympathizers, she discovers the work to be by turns both tedious and terrifying. But after the war has ended, she presumes the events of those years have been relegated to the past for ever.\nThere are some writers who you\u2019d like to read but just never seem to get around to. Until I\u2019d read Transcription, in my case Kate Atkinson was one of those authors. For crime/mystery fans Kate Atkinson wrote the Jackson Brodie novels which were adapted for television as Case Histories with Jason Issacs in the lead role. Having enjoyed Case Histories, I\u2019d planned to read the Jackson Brodie novels but just never did. Even with Transcription I\u2019d picked it up a few times but put it down because there was something else which caught my eye. Happily, I did finally purchase Transcription and I\u2019m certainly glad I did, I just may also get around to those Jackson Brodie novels as well.\nTranscription begins in 1981 with Juliet Armstrong lying on a pavement having just been hit by a car after attending a Shostakovich concert in Wigmore Hall, London. She\u2019s thinking of the rest of the Shostakovich series she\u2019ll miss, her son in Italy, the impending royal wedding and, at 60 years of age, had her life been long enough or was it an \u201cillusion, a dream that had happened to someone else\u201d. From there Transcription takes us back to two important periods in Juliet\u2019s life, 1950 when she\u2019s working for the BBC in London and 1940 when she was recruited to work for MI5 during the Second World War, those periods are about to collide.\nThere are a number of aspects to Transcription which I enjoyed. The first of these is the strength of Juliet Armstrong as a character and first-person narrator. This style of novel is often difficult and although the narration does grate a little towards, especially in the 1950 sections of the book, there is always a gem of a thought which reminds you just how enjoyable this book is to read. Secondly, Kate Atkinson is a master at highlighting the mundane parts of life. The sheer boredom of Juliet transcribing secret meetings with German sympathisers, and yet almost getting to know them personally through their voices, is expertly captured. Also, there\u2019s the unexpected sacrifices which war brings like being no longer able to get a good coffee because the Italian owner of her favourite caf\u00e9 is now interned and the embarrassing task of going to the toilet in Wormword Scrubs, which MI5 used as a headquarters during WW2, because there\u2019s no doors on the cubicles. Lastly, Transcription is also a very good thriller which carefully builds Juliet\u2019s sense of doom that the things that she, and others, did during the war are now coming back to haunt her and she doesn\u2019t know the price she\u2019ll need to pay.\nI started this review with a quote from Winston Churchill. It\u2019s the epigraph at the beginning of Transcription and it perfectly encapsulates this beautiful book. Now, I must do something about those Jackson Brodie novels.",

        "raw_content": "Proheader PC672 - Stainless...rflow Tank, Universal 2\" X 13\"\nSpectra Premium 7-3390 A/C Condenser for Ford\nHome \u203a Blog \u203a Autos \u203a Fiat\u2019s Sergio Marchionne Is a Savvy Dealmaker\u2014but Can He Sell Cars? \u2013 Businessweek\nFiat\u2019s Sergio Marchionne Is a Savvy Dealmaker\u2014but Can He Sell Cars? \u2013 Businessweek\nPhotograph by Francesco Nazardo for Bloomberg Businessweek\nOn a gray Tuesday morning, Sergio Marchionne takes one of his half-dozen Ferraris\u2014a black Enzo\u2014for a spin around Fiat\u2019s high-speed test track near the village of Balocco, 40 miles east of Turin, Italy. \u201cWhen you\u2019re pissed off, there\u2019s nothing better than this,\u201d Marchionne, the chief executive officer of Fiat (F:IM) and Chrysler Group, says as he pushes the car from a comfortable 120 mph to something over 200.\nMarchionne will be all smiles when he and Fiat Chairman John Elkann visit the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 13 to mark the debut of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), the company he\u2019s cobbled together from Italy\u2019s venerable Fiat and American icon Chrysler. But he\u2019s still got plenty to be angry about. Fiat\u2019s Italian shares have fallen more than 20 percent since April. A nascent recovery in Europe\u2019s car market\u2014which still accounts for a quarter of the combined company\u2019s deliveries\u2014is flagging after sales contracted to a two-decade low in 2013. And the much ballyhooed return of Fiat\u2019s Alfa Romeo brand to the U.S. will be delayed until at least 2016, other than a few hundred of a two-seater introduced this year.\nThe trans-Atlantic marriage of the two struggling regional players will likely be the capstone of Marchionne\u2019s career; he says he\u2019s only committed to staying at Fiat through 2018. So how quickly he gets the new company on its feet during these last laps may well determine his legacy. \u201cThe idea of revitalizing an American company was particularly appealing to him, and you can see it in how he\u2019s built up Chrysler,\u201d says Ron Bloom, a vice chairman at asset manager Lazard (LAZ) who helped run the team that oversaw President Obama\u2019s bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler.\nFueled by a dozen espressos a day and packs of Muratti cigarettes, Marchionne is moving fast to develop cars he expects will lure buyers into showrooms from Boston to Bologna to Beijing. By 2018 the combined company plans to spend about $60 billion adding more than 30 models, including subcompacts and a Maserati sport-utility vehicle. That, he predicts, will help FCA boost annual sales 60 percent, to 7 million cars, and churn out a profit of \u20ac5 billion ($6.33 billion) in 2018.\n\u201cIf you dream of peanuts, you get monkeys.\u201d\u2014Marchionne on why he perennially sets aggressive targets for Fiat\n\u201cWe\u2019re moving as fast as we possibly can,\u201d Marchionne says, though he acknowledges that \u201cin the car business, sometimes you crash.\u201d The 62-year-old executive knows. In 2007 he smashed up his own $350,000 Ferrari on a highway in Switzerland. Yet he argues that moving any slower would be even riskier. FCA will be the world\u2019s No.\u20097 auto group by deliveries, and Marchionne has long said there\u2019s room for just a half-dozen or fewer major actors in the industry.\nHis plan has legions of doubters. More than half of the securities analysts who cover Fiat recommend investors sell its shares, arguing that Marchionne\u2019s sales goals are unrealistic and its \u20ac10 billion in debt is too high. Researcher IHS (IHS) expects the company to fall short of its 2018 target by about 1.8 million cars. \u201cTo develop new models is one thing,\u201d says IHS analyst Ian Fletcher. \u201cTo attract customers is another.\u201d\nSipping espresso on the veranda of the 19th century farmhouse at the center of the Fiat test track, an unperturbed Marchionne says, \u201cI\u2019m used to incredulity.\u201d He sets ambitious targets, he says, because aiming lower would be \u201cto establish mediocrity as a benchmark of the house. If you dream of peanuts, you get monkeys.\u201d\nAfter taking over Fiat in 2004, Marchionne pulled the company back from the edge of bankruptcy by cutting costs and eliminating bureaucracy. In 2005 he played a game of chicken with General Motors (GM), threatening to enforce a contract that would have made the struggling American company buy an even-more-troubled Fiat. He walked away with a $2 billion cash settlement. Four years later he took over Chrysler, ultimately spending only about 10 percent of the $36 billion Germany\u2019s Daimler (DAI:GR) paid for the company in 1998. \u201cI\u2019m a car freak,\u201d says the longest-serving CEO of any major European automaker, looking over the lineup of Maseratis and Ferraris under the portico of a converted stable at the Balocco track. \u201cBut my survival instinct is stronger than my addiction to cars.\u201d\nThat instinct has led him to largely abandon the mass market in Europe, which he says is too crowded to offer a significant profit. Instead, he wants to transform Fiat\u2019s underutilized Italian plants into export machines for more expensive cars. In 2000, Fiat made 1.4 million vehicles in Italy. By 2013 its Italian output had dropped to fewer than 400,000. \u201cWe did a lot of soul-searching, to try to see how best to utilize what we had in Italy,\u201d says Elkann, the great-great-grandson of the company\u2019s founder, Giovanni Agnelli.\nA decade ago, the 38-year-old Elkann hired Marchionne from Swiss testing company SGS (SGSN:VX), which the Fiat heirs controlled. Now he\u2019s counting on the CEO to protect his family\u2019s legacy. When Marchionne says he\u2019s a \u201cfixer\u201d of troubled companies, Elkann quickly adds, \u201cAnd he\u2019s a builder, too.\u201d The plan is to build up Jeep in the U.S. and Europe as well as to develop markets such as Brazil, India, and China, where it plans to start making the Cherokee SUV by 2016. The pair want to double Jeep sales, to more than 1.9 million vehicles, largely by quintupling deliveries in China, where Marchionne says the brand \u201cis credible and is understood by everybody.\u201d He expects Alfa Romeo and Maserati to steal high-end buyers from BMW (BMW:GR), Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen\u2019s (VOW:GR) Audi (NSU:GR) line.\nMarchionne\u2019s team is working to ensure that each brand stands for something. That\u2019s easy with Ferrari: Its really fast cars can cost more than the average worker earns in a decade. And it seems doable for performance cars such as Alfa, Maserati, and Jeep. More troubled, Marchionne says, are the company\u2019s namesake brands. \u201cFiat is the toughest nut in Europe, and Chrysler is the toughest in the U.S.,\u201d he says.\nChrysler, which previous management had sought to position as a near-luxury nameplate, is being shifted down-market. A new sedan called the 200\u2014best known as the car driven by rapper Eminem in a 2011 Super Bowl ad with the tag line \u201cImported From Detroit\u201d\u2014has been well received. But the brand currently has only three models, and its U.S. sales have dropped 6 percent this year. In the U.S., Fiat is making its name as the producer of the retro-hip 500, intended as an answer to BMW\u2019s Mini lineup, but outside the U.S. and Italy its identity is muddled.\nMarchionne and Elkann are eager to show the cross-pollination of their brands. In the farmhouse courtyard, a new Jeep, the Renegade, sits next to its Italian cousin, the 500X, both to be built at a Fiat factory 100 miles east of Naples. \u201cThis is a real SUV,\u201d Marchionne says, slapping the tailgate of the diminutive blue Jeep. \u201cIt\u2019ll take you anywhere.\u201d In industry jargon, the vehicles share a platform, which means most of the stuff you can\u2019t see in a car\u2014the engines, axles, air-conditioning ducts, window-winders, and the like. It costs about $1 billion to take a car from designer\u2019s sketch to dealer\u2019s showroom. Adapting a platform for a new model can be done for less than $300 million, Marchionne says.\nPhotograph by Francesco Nazardo for Bloomberg BusinessweekMarchionne (right) with Fiat heir Elkann\nFiat says the cars share about 40 percent of their components, though they look nothing alike. The Renegade is boxy and muscular, with a wide stance and the six-pillared Jeep grille, which make it look like it just forded an Idaho stream even when it\u2019s tooling up the Via Veneto in Rome. The 500X, while also featuring four-wheel drive and the high carriage of an SUV, has the seductive curves of the original Fiat 500; it\u2019s intended to ooze La Dolce Vita insouciance even at a mall in Chicago or Shanghai. \u201cThis is urban, civilized,\u201d Marchionne says, running his hands across the cream-colored five-seater. \u201cIt\u2019s Italy at its best.\u201d\nItaly\u2019s biggest union, Confederazione Generale Italiana del Lavoro (CGIL), has criticized Marchionne\u2019s focus on operations overseas as an abandonment of Fiat\u2019s Italian roots and the workers who made the company strong. Diego Della Valle, chairman of shoemaker Tod\u2019s (TOD:IM), has long said Marchionne seeks only to enrich himself at the expense of workers. He reiterated those criticisms on Sept. 26 on Otto e Mezzo, a popular evening talk show, just as Marchionne was holding a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi six time zones away near Detroit. Della Valle called the Fiat chief a sola (a Roman curse that in polite company might be translated as \u201cliar\u201d) who \u201cdoesn\u2019t respect any commitment.\u201d Marchionne\u2019s response: \u201cI found it offensive. The problem with this country is that everybody is an expert.\u201d\nMarchionne has support at the highest levels in Italy. Former Prime Minister Mario Monti helped Fiat inaugurate the production lines that will make the Renegade and the 500X. And Renzi on Sept. 26 spent the afternoon with Marchionne at Chrysler headquarters in the U.S. After a tour of the facility, Renzi said Marchionne\u2019s Fiat turnaround could serve as a model for all of Italian industry. \u201cFor me the most important thing is not the headquarters and where they hold their annual meeting,\u201d Renzi says, \u201cit\u2019s the strategy of making investments in the country.\u201d\nWhile Marchionne says Fiat can manage his huge investment plan on its own, he would consider another alliance if the right opportunity arises. Without identifying potential partners, he says he sees the possibility of a merger that would create a company larger than Toyota Motor (TM), the world\u2019s biggest carmaker. \u201cThe industry needs it,\u201d Marchionne says. \u201cThis is still a very fragmented industry for the level of capital you have to invest.\u201d\nIf such a deal happens, Marchionne doesn\u2019t expect to stick around beyond 2018 to make it a success. He says he\u2019s grooming several members of his team for the top job\u2014Elkann says he\u2019s not interested in combining the chairman and CEO titles. \u201cYou\u2019re asking me if there are other things I like to do apart from this? Phenomenally, yes,\u201d Marchionne says, lighting another Muratti. \u201cI like to be able to think, and that\u2019s not always possible in this job.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "IPCC HELPS SHIELD DUBIOUS DATA FROM OPEN EXAMINATION\nAnd the data remains unavailable to this day! (The IPCC is the U.N. climate authority)\nOne of the most important IPCC representations is the supposedly tremendous quality control of its review process. I've mentioned in passing on a number of occasions that, when I sought to obtain supporting data for then unpublished articles, IPCC threatened to expel me as a reviewer. I've had a few requests to recount my experience with trying to get data from IPCC for unpublished studies. So here's a short summary of my correspondence with IPCC.\nOn August 1, 2005, I was invited by IPCC to act as a reviewer. (I guess this makes me one of the 2500 scientists who support IPCC conclusions, although my review comments have all been ignored as far as I can tell.) \"You have been nominated to serve as an Expert Reviewer for the Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis. The first draft of this report will be available for expert review from Friday, 9 September 2005, with all review comments due by Friday, 4 November 2005.\"\nI accepted. In September 2005, I noticed that the Paleoclimate chapter cited two then unpublished studies by D'Arrigo et al (later D'Arrigo et al 2006) and Hegerl et al (later Hegerl et al J Clim 2006). In order to carry out my responsibilities as a reviewer, I wanted to see the supporting data for these studies and I accordingly wrote to the IPCC Technical Services Unit at UCAR in Boulder on Sep 20, 2005 as follows: \"I have been unable to locate supplementary information or data archives for several of the articles posted at the pdf location for Chapter 6 and would appreciate assistance in this regard.\n1) Hegerl et al, submitted. Can you provide me with an ftp location for the proxy data used in this study (which does not even list the proxies used) or post it at your website.\n2) D'Arrigo et al, submitted. Again, this data has not been archived at WDCP. Can you provide me with an ftp location for the proxy data used in this study or post it at your website.\"\nOn Sep 22, 2005, Martin Manning of the IPCC/UCAR TSU wrote back refusing to provide this data in the following terms: \"It is normal practice that expert reviewers of scientific works check the references given and the way they are used. We certainly expect this during the review of the first draft of our report and are grateful that you have identified an issue that the authors will need to deal with in the next draft if that can not be done now.\nThe second issue is availability of data used in cited literature. As you have recognized some of this is available at data centers. Often the original authors of the cited papers will release their data on request. However, the IPCC process assesses published literature, it does not involve carrying out research, nor do we have the mandate or resources to operate as a clearing house for the massive amounts of data that are used in the climate science community or referred to in the literature used by our authors. Given the many different approaches to intellectual property and data release in different countries and agencies such an undertaking would in any case not be possible.\"\nI was obviously unsatisfied with their failure to provide supporting data and re-iterated my request for supporting data as follows: \"My request for data pertains to two papers which are presently unpublished and for which the data is unarchived. One of the papers does not even list the data used. I request that you simply contact the authors who submitted the articles in question and ask him/her to provide an FTP location for the data so that it can be reviewed. The request can be made through a simple email and does not require resources beyond those available to you. You could have submitted the request as quickly as it took you to draft your reply to me. If the authors refuse to provide their data pursuant to a request from you, then that would be a factor in my review, as it should be for IPCC itself, as to whether the article should be referenced by IPCC.\"\nThe next day, Sep 23, 2005, Manning made the following shirty reply: \"Let me repeat - If you wish to obtain data used in a paper then you should make a direct request to the original authors yourself. It would be inappropriate for the IPCC to become involved in that communication and I have no intention of allowing the IPCC support unit to provide you with what would in effect be a secretarial service. There are over 1200 other scientists on our list of reviewers and we simply can not get involved in providing special services for each. I gave you the courtesy of a detailed response earlier to ensure there was no confusion about our process which is my responsibility. Acting as an intermediary with other scientists is not. I will not be responding to further correspondence on this matter.\" ...\nOne of the great gurus of the American Left is linguist-turned-psychologist, George Lakoff. Most of his ideas are just corny old stuff that Leftist psychologists have been spouting for around 60 years -- and which have much evidence against them. But Lakoff shows little awareness of the research background on his subject. Like most Leftists, he just KNOWS: Evidence not necessary.\nOne idea he has made his own, however, is that conservatism is masculine and Leftism is feminine. It is an idea that has some intuitive appeal and conservatives come up with it from time to time too. Unfortunately, like a lot of appealing simplifications, the facts are against it. If it were true, we would expect a big sex polarization at election time -- but we usually in fact get close to a 50/50 split. George W. Bush and John Kerry split the female vote roughly 50/50 in the last presidential race, for instance. Again, however, Lakoff does not let such large facts as that get in his way.\nIf you Google Lakoff, however, you will find little criticism of him. He is routinely treated as a fount of wisdom and insight. I would like to put that right. I have just updated my article on him. You can find it here. If everybody reading this who has a website links to it, it might climb far enough up the Google page-rankings to get onto the first page of search results -- and thus make known that there is an alternative perspective on Lakoff.\nBy James Ozark on Saturday, March 31, 2007 0 comments\nA sobering note on the leftist press, and what it does when it gets hold of people it doesn\u2019t like.\nGavin King, a leftist reporter with the Cairns Post here in Australia, apparently lulled, through deception, an anti-Islamist blogger into revealing his personal details. This little slime then apparently promptly published the lot, including his identity, his home address, business details, even a list of his property holdings:\n[The] operator of the Winds of Jihad site. . .has had his identity and location revealed -- opening him to risk of being killed by jihadists -- by reporter Gavin King, who is no doubt convinced that Sheik has nothing to worry about anyway, since it's a religion of peace.\nGoing to such extremes, I believe there is only one reason Gavin King did this: he wants to expose this man to potential harm, and given the subject matter, harm of the highest order.\nMore on this here, here and here.\nA Leftist Mind on the Islamist Problem\nHow to address Islamist grievances?\nEasy \u2013 get rid of the Jews (after all, it\u2019s been done before) and absolutely everything else the fundamentalists don\u2019t like.\nListen to the voice of \u2018liberal leftist reason\u2019 (be warned \u2013 the mere sound of it may induce involuntary violence).\nAnd be utterly, utterly appalled.\nTruth about the U.N.\nHillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, spoke truth to the U.N. Human Rights Council last Friday. His speech:\nSix decades ago, in the aftermath of the Nazi horrors, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rene Cassin and other eminent figures gathered here, on the banks of Lake Geneva, to reaffirm the principle of human dignity. They created the Commission on Human Rights. Today, we ask: What has become of their noble dream? In this session we see the answer. Faced with compelling reports from around the world of torture, persecution, and violence against women, what has the Council pronounced, and what has it decided?\nNothing. Its response has been silence. Its response has been indifference. Its response has been criminal. One might say, in Harry Truman's words, that this has become a Do-Nothing, Good-for-Nothing Council. But that would be inaccurate. This Council has, after all, done something.\nIt has enacted one resolution after another condemning one single state: Israel. In eight pronouncements-and there will be three more this session-Hamas and Hezbollah have been granted impunity. The entire rest of the world-millions upon millions of victims, in 191 countries-continue to go ignored. So yes, this Council is doing something. And the Middle East dictators who orchestrate this campaign will tell you it is a very good thing. That they seek to protect human rights, Palestinian rights.\nSo too, the racist murderers and rapists of Darfur women tell us they care about the rights of Palestinian women; the occupiers of Tibet care about the occupied; and the butchers of Muslims in Chechnya care about Muslims.\nBut do these self-proclaimed defenders truly care about Palestinian rights? Let us consider the past few months. More than 130 Palestinians were killed by Palestinian forces. This is three times the combined total that were the pretext for calling special sessions in July and November. Yet the champions of Palestinian rights-Ahmadinejad, Assad, Khaddafi, John Dugard-they say nothing. Little 3-year-old boy Salam Balousha and his two brothers were murdered in their car by Prime Minister Haniyeh's troops. Why has this Council chosen silence?\nBecause Israel could not be blamed. Because, in truth, the dictators who run this Council couldn't care less about Palestinians, or about any human rights. They seek to demonize Israeli democracy, to delegitimize the Jewish state, to scapegoat the Jewish people. They also seek something else: to distort and pervert the very language and idea of human rights. You ask: What has become of the founders' dream? With terrible lies, it is being turned into a nightmare.\nCoincidence - Yeah Right\nRemember back when the leftists were humiliated and cowed by their Islamist buddies over the Mohammed cartoons. Emboldened by the fact that we Christians live with the offensive depictions of Christ, the leftists got a little smart and tried their antics with Islam. Wasn\u2019t it fun to watch the lot of them cowering and scattering like ants when they had to earn and defend their precious freedom of speech. Well the vermin are back kicking us in the teeth again.\nA New York gallery has angered a US Catholic group with its decision to exhibit a milk chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ. The six-foot (1.8m) sculpture, entitled \"My Sweet Lord\", depicts Jesus Christ naked on the cross.\nThe gallery's creative director, Matt Semler, said the gallery was considering its options in the wake of angry e-mails and telephone calls.\nIt\u2019s as if this scumbag is looking at a dinner menu in his favorite tofu-varieties, made from recycled materials restaurant or something. There\u2019s only one of two options half-wit, exhibit or don\u2019t exhibit. These leftists are so thick they can\u2019t even make a simple decision.\n\"We're obviously surprised by the overwhelming response and offence people have taken,\" he said. \"We are certainly in the process of trying to figure out what we're going to do next.\" Mr Semler said the timing of the exhibition was coincidental.\nYeah sure, it\u2019s just a coincidence you ratbag, what, you missed that whole Easter thing that\u2019s been going on for how many centuries again? Like I said, yeah right, how about having the balls to do the same to Islam, come on now, freedom of speech, creative BS and all that.\nUpdate (2007.04.01)\nLooks like the half-wits running this gallery are backing down. No, there no need for violence and burning effigies, they were overrun by emails and phone calls from angry Catholics; apparently a \u2018Catholic Fatwa\u2019 was all it took. Something about a death-threat and suddenly the leftists were out shopping desperately for plastic spines.\nThe display has been cancelled and the above mentioned half-wit Matt Semler has resigned in protest. Well so long half-wit; go create your crap somewhere else.\nVia Hot Air and FOXNews, bane of the left.\nTime to Confront\nIran is testing us. So far, we\u2019re failing. And if anyone is any doubt as to just how far the Iranians are prepared to go, this latest act, arguably an act of war, should leave none of us in any doubt.\nIran releases hostage marine's 'anti-war' letter\nIran has piled the pressure on Tony Blair using hostage Faye Turney in a cynical new propaganda stunt.\nExcept Blair is going to do sweet FA other than deliver sternly-worded objections. Pathetic.\nNow for Iran\u2019s agenda:\nAddressed to \"representative of the House of Commons\", the one-page letter reads: \"Isn't it time for us to start withdrawing our forces from Iraq and let them determine their own future.\" It is signed 'Faye Turney' and dated March 27, three days ago.\nIt concedes the key issue in the present crisis - that she and her fellow hostages were in Iranian waters when they were seized, which Britain strongly denies - and stresses her captors \"have looked after me well\".\nThe diplomatic crisis over the 25-year-old mother, who has a girl aged three, intensified when was paraded on state TV on Wednesday night.\nAnd it deepened further when Iran made an abrupt U-turn over promises for her release. Tehran had said she would be freed after \"confessing\" that her Navy boarding party had \"trespassed\" in Iranian waters. But it back-tracked on the pledge.\nA lie, of course, delivered to extract a \u2018confession\u2019. Pathetic.\nHardline Iranian negotiator Ali Larijani accused the British Government of \"arrogance\" and warned it to end its \"fuss\" and \"media campaign\".\nI do most humbly beg your pardon, you jumped up little prick, but who precisely kidnapped these sailors and marines in Iraqi waters, and then paraded them on Iranian Festering Islamonut TV?\nLarijani, the secretary of Iran's supreme national security council, said: \"They have created a ballyhoo over diplomatic ties and raised the issue with the UN. This will not help solve the issue.\"\nThe issue? The issue is that the Iranian government, if it can be called that, is infested by hard line maniacs who have yet to be confronted in the way they should be.\nBritain suffered a setback at the UN last night when the Security Council refused to support a motion \"deploring\" Iran's actions and demanding the immediate release of the 15. After three hours of talks, ambassadors from the 15 council nations were working on a watered-down statement.\nNations including Russia, China, Indonesia and Qatar are believed to have argued they have no way of verifying exactly where the incident took place.\nFine. The usual back-stabbing dross from the tossunits at the UN. Did we expect more?\nAmid criticism of Britain's low-key response to the crisis, America's former ambassador to the UN John Bolton said the 'softly softly' approach Britain had adopted over Iran's nuclear programme had emboldened the Iranians to the point where they could say: \"We can do something as outrageous as seize 15 of their citizens and they won't do anything in response.\"\nTehran raised the stakes by not only denying British diplomats access to the captives but also threatening to put them on trial.\nIn the Iranian capital, protestors accused Mrs Turney and her comrades of spying and called for their execution.\nAs usual, Bolton is absolutely right. That the British ship concerned didn\u2019t throw everything it had into getting these personnel returned while they still could is the real shame, though. The gab-fest that has followed has made things even worse.\nA Ministry of Defence inquiry is now under way into the capture in broad daylight of the 15 sailors and Marines amid mounting criticism of the Royal Navy's 'softly-softly' approach.\nThat the Royal Navy has descended to this - letting crewmen be kidnapped, in broad daylight, right under their noses - is the truly pathetic display here.\nRest assured, though. Given the limp-wristed pantomime that's been performed so far, Iran will most certainly do this again. Why not?\nUpdate: in comments at the BBC\u2019s Your Say site:\nI feel no compassion for the British sailors. They are transgressors and deserve to be punished. I am completely sure that the British sailors are safe and have not been subject to any torture. In my opinion Iran has detained them in a move to secure the release of the Iranian diplomats [Iranian diplomats? Are you f\u2019ing kidding me?] (held by the Americans in Iraq).\nMehrdad, Sydney\nWhat is this little prick doing here? Anyone? Anyone at all? F'ing bring on the quarantine - now!\nHuman evolution radically reappraised\nThe findings reported below are very politically incorrect stuff. They tend to show that the races of mankind are more different than was thought. Cochran, Lahn and others involved have previously got into big trouble from the Left over it. See here. One of the \"more recent evolutionary changes\" mentioned below was the comparatively recent emergence of new genes connected with brain size -- genes that seem to give a large intellectual advantage but which are mostly missing among Africans. See here and here for the academic journal abstracts. For the evidence linking brain-size and IQ, see section 6 here. I must say that I see pin-headed East-African refugees in the streets every day where I live. How incorrect of me to report that!\nHuman evolution has been speeding up exorbitantly, a new study contends; so much, that the latest evolutionary changes seem to largely eclipse earlier ones that accompanied modern man's \"origin.\" The study, alongside other recent research on which it builds, amounts to a sweeping reappraisal of traditional accounts of human evolution. These generally assumed that humans have reached a pinnacle of evolution and stopped there. The findings suggest that not only is our evolution continuing: in a sense our very \"origin\" can be seen as ongoing, a geneticist not involved in the work said.\nGregory Cochran of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, a co-author of the latest study, said the research may force a radical rethinking of the story of modern human evolution. \"It turns it upside-down, pretty much,\" he said. The traditional view of humans as a finished product began to erode in recent years, scientists said, with a crop of studies suggesting our evolution indeed goes on. But the newest study goes further. It claims the process has actually accelerated.\nIt also downplays the importance of a much-scrutinized era around 200,000 years ago, when humans considered \"anatomically modern\" first appear in the fossil record. In the study, this epoch emerges as just part of a vast arc of accelerating change. \"The origin of modern humans was a minor event compared to more recent evolutionary changes,\" wrote the authors of the research, in a presentation slated for Friday in Philadelphia at the annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. The authors are Cochran and anthropologist John Hawks of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The findings will also be submitted to one or more scientific journals, Cochran said.\nThe proposal is \"truly fascinating,\" wrote University of Chicago geneticist Bruce Lahn in an email. He wasn't involved in the work, though he did conduct earlier research finding that evolution may still be ongoing in the brain...\nHawks and Cochran analyzed measurements of skulls from Europe, Jordan, Nubia, South Africa, and China in the past 10,000 years, a period known as the Holocene era. They also studied European and West Asian skulls from the end of the Pleistocene era, which lasted from two million years ago until the Holocene. \"A constellation of features\" changed across the board, Hawks and Cochran wrote in their conference presentation. \"Holocene changes were similar in pattern and... faster than those at the archaic/modern transition,\" the time when so-called modern humans appeared. But these changes \"themselves were rapid compared to earlier hominid evolution.\" Hominids are a family of primates that includes humans and their upright-walking, more apelike ancestors and relatives, all extinct.\nHawks and Cochran also analyzed past genetic studies to estimate the rate of production of genes that undergo positive selection -- that is, genes that spread because they are beneficial. \"The rate of generation of positively selected genes has increased as much as a hundredfold during the past 40,000 years,\" they wrote.\nAmong the most notable physical changes have been ones affecting the size of the brain case, according to Hawks and Cochran. A \"thing that should probably worry people is that brains have been getting smaller for 20,000 to 30,000 years,\" said Cochran. But growth in more advanced brain areas might have compensated for this, he added. He speculated that an almost breakneck evolution of higher foreheads in some peoples may reflect this. A study in the Jan. 14 British Dental Journal found such a trend visible in England in just the past millennium, he noted, a mere eyeblink in evolutionary time. Research published in the Sept. 9, 2005 issue of the research journal Science by Lahn and colleagues found that two genes linked to brain size are rapidly evolving in humans.\nAnthropologist Jeffrey McKee of Ohio State University said the Hawks and Cochran study bears out predictions he made in a 2000 book The Riddled Chain. Based on computer models, he argued that evolution should speed up as a population grows. This is because population growth creates more opportunities for new mutations; also, the expanded population occupies new environmental niches, which would drive evolution in new directions.....\nIt's one big party folks\nI was catching up on some reading the other day and thought I should share this with you, from the March 5 edition of National Review. The link won\u2019t work unless you have a subscription, which incidentally is quite affordable (for the internet edition) and well worth the read.\nNot all rallies are reported equal. Washington recently saw two big public demonstrations: the March for Life, marking the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and another let\u2019s-abandon-Iraq-and-impeach-that-bastard-Bush extravaganza. None of the big-three networks sent a national reporter to cover the March for Life. According to the Media Research Center, ABC said nothing at all of it. CBS\u2019s and NBC\u2019s evening broadcasts noted that \u201cboth sides\u201d of the abortion debate had been represented \u2014 but neglected to mention that there were tens of thousands demonstrating against Roe and only tens demonstrating for it. But the big three didn\u2019t stint on coverage of the anti-war protest: Their evening broadcasts together devoted five reports and six anchor briefs to it. Just in case you thought the media had de-biased themselves...\nElsewhere the news is being reported but, let me point out the discrepancies. This is part of the story from Fox News, 4000 marched for saving the unborn and 700 marched or stood for killing them.\nThousands of Poles took to Warsaw's streets Wednesday to demand a complete ban on abortion, including in cases of rape or incest. Mostly elderly demonstrators attended a Mass and marched through central Warsaw carrying Polish and Vatican flags. One banner had an image of a baby and the words, \"Can you really kill me?\"\nWell we have at least 700 who are more than happy to.\nElsewhere in the capital, about 700 mostly young people held a rally with music and balloons in support of abortion rights. One banner read, \"Not the pope, not the president, I will decide myself.\"\nDoesn\u2019t it strike you as odd that terminating the lives of unborn children is a reason for celebration, music, balloons and who knows what else. Does anyone know the birth rates for Poland, I wonder if these happy folks will be just as celebratory in 40 years time when there are no children to carry on the family name. That is if there any families anymore, I see we\u2019ve ditched sexist terms like wife and husband for \u2018partner\u2019 now.\nComing back to the article, see the same event as reported by the BBC, 3000 marched in favor of a total ban on abortion, while 1000 described as pro-choice held a rally. I\u2019m inclined to believe the BBC has been a bit loose with their numbers, but we\u2019ll give them the benefit of the doubt. The pro-lifers are described as \u2018extreme-right wing\u2019, so being unhappy about killing the unborn now makes you an extremist, next they\u2019ll be labeling us insurgents or terrorists.\nThey also talk about a woman who is going blind now because she was denied an abortion, apparently a Strasbourg court ruled that Poland violated her human rights. She already had two children so perhaps she shouldn\u2019t have gotten pregnant in the first place, but that\u2019s just mean old bastard me. These things just happen you know, like tripping on the foot path, just an accident and nobody\u2019s fault really, however the baby must die.\nThe BBC ends by saying, \u201cPolish women's rights groups estimate there are just 200 legal abortions performed every year.\u201d Yes \u2018just 200\u2019, so the implication is that if you want to claim to have proper women\u2019s rights then don\u2019t come here waffling about 200 abortions a year. You better go back and try a few thousand or a million or so, then we\u2019re talking adequate women\u2019s rights.\nRemember what I told you about ending human life.\nAmerica's favourite \"get out free\" card\nEconomy Drive \"racist\"\nAs with the Oliphant story below, any action taken by an employer to deal with an un-co-operative black is \"racist\" -- this time in Toledo. Democrat Mayor Carty Finkbeiner fired Perlean Griffin because she refused a new job assignment -- whereupon she accused him of racism:\n\"A long-time city employee, Ms. Griffin was terminated Tuesday after she refused to support the mayor's restructuring of the affirmative action-contract compliance office.\nThe mayor's plan to eliminate an $11.9 million budget deficit calls for affirmative action to move under the department of human resources and contract compliance to fold into the finance department....\nLater, Mr. Finkbeiner denied to reporters during his news conference in the mayor's conference room on the 22nd floor that he was racist, and insisted the fallout over the last week was caused by a \"personality conflict\" between Ms. Griffin and Theresa Gabriel, the director of human resources.\n\"Ms. Griffin told me that directly,\" he said. \"I told her she would be able to run an independent operation, as she has been doing. She refused to go to work at human resources, and that was her call.\"\n\"The simple truth of the whole issue has nothing to do with anything other than Ms. Griffin's lack of willingness to work in the human resource department because of a personality conflict,\" Mr. Finkbeiner said.\nIt seems that behavior that would never be tolerated from a white must be tolerated from a black or a Muslim. If that's not racism and bigotry, I don't know what would be.\nA Profitable Race Card\n\"Bill Oliphant thinks he's been suspended from officiating basketball and baseball games because he's black. The local boards that represent both sports say that's not true, and they're outraged over Oliphant's accusations....\nBoth organizations claim Oliphant hasn't followed their procedures or regulations regarding meeting attendance or certification, but he said they are using this as a cover to deny him assignments....\nTwo of the approximately 43 referees who officiate varsity boys' and girls' basketball games in Orange County are black: Otis Cowart and T.C. Wilmer, a female. \"I'm not aware of any discrimination,\" Cowart said. \"I know Bill is unhappy, he has a dilemma, but I don't think it's about discrimination or racism. There have been no problems for me.\"....\nThis isn't the first time Oliphant has taken a case to U.S. District Court. He and Sussman settled with the Central Hudson Valley Board of Girls Softball Officials last year for $20,000, according to sources familiar with the case. The case centered around Oliphant missing a mandatory meeting and not paying a $25 fine. He and his lawyer maintained Oliphant attended a meeting in Rockland County and, again, said the incident was driven by discrimination.\nBobby Moran, secretary/treasurer of the organization from 2001-05, said he thinks the case hurt the group financially. Sources confirmed that the softball board's members paid $5,000 of the settlement, the other $15,000 coming from an insurance policy with the state association. The board had to pay another $5,800 in legal fees. Dues have gone up this year from $50 to $65 and several sources say softball umpires are turning down assignments with Oliphant.\n\"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why,\" said Moran, also a basketball official. \"It's unfortunate the way this has all gone down. But nobody wants to step up and say anything because they are afraid they will get sued.\"\nSeveral officials interviewed echoed Moran's sentiments and said that Oliphant is arrogant, often unprofessional and chronically late to meetings and games. Documents obtained by the Times Herald-Record confirmed that in 2004 two softball umpires - Moran and Steve Aurigemma - asked not to work with Oliphant....\nIRRELEVANT EXPERTISE: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CONSULT A ZOOLOGIST ABOUT STATISTICS\nThe British government was advised against publicly criticising a report estimating that 655,000 Iraqis had died due to the war, the BBC has learnt. Iraqi Health Ministry figures put the toll at less than 10% of the total in the survey, published in the Lancet. But the Ministry of Defence's chief scientific adviser said the survey's methods were \"close to best practice\" and the study design was \"robust\".\nThe Lancet medical journal published its peer-reviewed survey last October. It was conducted by the John Hopkins School of Public Health and compared mortality rates before and after the invasion by surveying 47 randomly chosen areas across 16 provinces in Iraq.\nShortly after the publication of the survey in October last year Tony Blair's official spokesperson said the Lancet's figure was not anywhere near accurate. He said the survey had used an extrapolation technique, from a relatively small sample from an area of Iraq that was not representative of the country as a whole.\nBut a memo by the MoD's Chief Scientific Adviser, Sir Roy Anderson [A zoologist], on 13 October, states: \"The study design is robust and employs methods that are regarded as close to \"best practice\" in this area, given the difficulties of data collection and verification in the present circumstances in Iraq.\"\nTo see what statisticians experienced in the research method concerned say, see here and here. I am myself a much published user of that research method and I made the following comments last year:\nNone of the comments I saw appeared to be by people who are experienced users of cluster sampling -- the method used for the Lancet study. I am a VERY experienced user of cluster sampling -- with many of my academic publications based on it. And the glaring error which rather explains why the study appeared in a medical journal rather than a more statistically sophisticated journal is that there was NO VALIDATION of the survey results. That your survey-takers might just sit down under a tree and \"make up\" their \"interview\" results is a routine peril and it is routine to take precautions against it -- usually by going back on a later occasion and checking with the alleged respondents a proportion of all interviews handed in. Just the awareness that a sample of the respondents will be re-interviewed tends to keep the interviewers honest -- though not always so, regrettably. So the results reported in the Lancet study have no credibility at all and must be regarded as garbage.\nIt is astounding that the authors of the study were so naive. Perhaps they WANTED their interviewers to \"fudge\" the results -- making clear what the desired results would be, of course.\nAnother oddity in the Lancet article that suggests something peculiar about the authors is the claim that their interviewers were all DOCTORS -- and not just any doctors but doctors bilingual in Arabic and English. I have never seen the like of that before. Experienced interviewers of some kind were what was needed and that is what is usually used, not doctors. Can we really believe that a whole corps of these rare doctors abandoned their medical duties for so long in order to do something outside their normal expertise? If true it certainly suggests a heavy political committment on the part of the doctors concerned -- exactly what one would NOT want in a study claiming to be objective. To me the whole claim seems like the sort of \"gilding the lily\" that con-men engage in.\nOther critics have noticed other vast implausibilities in the results reported -- the amazingly high (98%) success-rate at getting people to consent to an interview, for instance --- garbage, garbage garbage. And the lie about the death certificates actually shows how bogus the results were.\n\"Those guys were not even trying to do real research. It was just a propaganda circus. I strongly support Moore's point about the survey's lack of demographic information. That is so unthinkable in survey research that the article would never have been published in an academic journal that knew anything about survey research. The Lancet should stick to medicine.\nAnd as Iraq Body Count note:\n\"Between January and June 2006, there were 91 violent deaths recorded by the Lancet survey. This would correspond to over 180,000 deaths in the first 6 months of 2006, and an average rate of 1,000 per day. The daily death rate over the same period based on UN reports (which sum Baghdad morgue and Ministry of Health data) is 80 violent deaths per day. Cumulated media reports provide a somewhat lower figure. If the Lancet extrapolation is sound, this would imply a further 920 violent deaths every day (1000 minus 80) which have been recorded by neither officials nor the media. As these are averages, some days would see many more deaths, and others substantially fewer, but in either case, all of them would remain unnoticed.\"\nSo Sorry?\nLook at this ridiculous little jelly of a man.\nHe\u2019s \u2018so sorry\u2019. . .\nBut \u2018so sorry\u2019 for what? \u2018So sorry\u2019 for slavery? \u2018So sorry\u2019 for his part in it? But he played no part in it. \u2018So sorry\u2019 for his forebears part in it? But they played no part in it, either (other than, quite possibly - in his specific case - to end it).\nSo what is this vapid little cultural harridan \u2018so sorry\u2019 for?\nApparently, thanks to the vile pogrom being run by the BBC, he believes he should be \u2018so sorry\u2019 for Britain's, his nation\u2019s, \u2018role\u2019 (so-called) in the slave trade. . .\nWhat utter bullshit! The problem for our self-hating little lefty is, of course, that his nation\u2019s only role was to end slavery; to uphold liberty; to elevate right over wrong. His nation\u2019s only \u2018crime\u2019 was to be the shining beacon of sanity, as it so often was.\nIt\u2019s so unbelievably typical, though, that the left would find some way to turn this into a \u2018wrong\u2019; that it would, yet again, spin the line to the point that white is indeed black. . .\nBack to vapid boy; the unpleasant little brat who, like the rest of his mindset, has grasped with both hands the magical PC fairy wand of \u2018beat me quick\u2019, and now promotes the notion that his people (and he, we must assume) were evil - and are evil still.\nThe real caption for this little creep\u2019s T-shirt is a very different one, of course.\nIt should read: \u2018So grateful\u2019.\nThe fact is, he\u2019d rather choke.\nDid anyone else in Australia, who happened to watch a bit of television last night, notice the David Hicks story? Was it just me or did it seem like Christ was returning, breathless news readers bringing us up-to-the-second coverage, in-between programs, of Hicks appearance before a US military tribunal? On and on it went, he is about to appear, almost there, in hours, not yet, but stay tuned, he may appear, he\u2019s about to appear\u2026 er guys I\u2019m running out of one-liners here. It was almost as if Australians around the country were on the edges of their seats, chewing nervously at their finger nails waiting to catch a glimpse of Hicks. Maybe the local media outlets are unaware but it\u2019s really only a few commie latte-sippers who were tossing, turning and fretting last night.\nWell this morning, I heard more of this on the radio but turns out it was a waste of space, the fellow appeared and refused to make a plea. So for the last 5 years we have been raked over the coals, we were subjected to endless whining, where is the justice, just bring him home to face a trial, he is entitled to face a court. Yeah it would help if he could, like you know, make up his mind on whether to plead guilty or not. So don\u2019t blame the Bush administration for not trying him, after 5 years he\u2019s now facing a court and still can\u2019t decide, perhaps Gitmo isn\u2019t the North Korean style Gulag we were all led to believe.\nComing back to the reporting of this, well this morning it hadn\u2019t improved much, one reporter gushed that he had long hair and spoke with numerous accents, I think the fool was implying he was speaking with an Arabic accent or something, that\u2019s sure to win over the above mentioned commie latte-sippers. If it had been a French accent they\u2019d have been outside Kirribilli house screaming at Howard \u2018to pull the finger out\u2019 and send the bloody SAS to bloody get him back here. I could be wrong on this, but I\u2019m sure the pro-Hicks crowd will soon tell us we have to bring him back before he becomes more radicalized or loses his Australian accent and hence would be a great loss to Australia.\nShe also let slip that he gained weight and wasn't looking gaunt and hollow as we were told, see we told you stupid commie latte sippers that Gitmo wasn\u2019t all that bad, but did you listen, no like insolent whiny brats you just carried on carping as always.\nTo cut a long story short, two of his lawyers were kicked out due to a technicality, one was still on civilian status and the other one was just being difficult, he refused to sign a document and had a good whinge about it and stormed off. All in all it was a complete non-event, a waste of space, but stay tuned folks, the left will continue to foist their messiah upon us no matter how boring and uneventful.\nNews reports here, here and here.\nUpdate (no I'm still on Hicks)\nHicks has pleaded guilty, needless to say leftists will be carping about the unfairness of the trial and all that.\nNow can we dispense with the courtroom antics, take him out the back and find a tree, post haste. Now that's an event I'll be on the edge of my seat for.\nThe BBC\u2019s Slavery Campaign\nI don\u2019t know if anyone else has noticed, but Britain\u2019s BBC has been running a campaign for the last several months (at least), trying to get Britain to don yet another hair shirt, this time over its supposed \u2018role\u2019 in slavery \u2013 the trade it actually dispatched its navy to stop. So now the BBC asks for your responses to its wonderful campaign. . .\nShould reparations for slavery be paid?\nThe Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, says the Church of England needs to consider whether it should pay reparations for its own part in slavery. The Church's missionary wing owned slaves on plantations in the West Indies.\nTony Blair has expressed Britain's \"deep sorrow and regret\" for its role in the slave trade.\nBut the Church is now considering a more significant act of restoration.\nWhat do you think of Dr Williams remarks? Should reparations be paid? What are the main consequences of slavery today? How should we mark this 200th anniversary?\nJust a few responses from readers around the globe (and the overwhelming majority, I\u2019m delighted to report):\nA \"sins of the father\" argument is untenable; a \"possible sins of the great-great-great grandfather\" argument is absurd.\nThe fact remains that slavery existed in Africa since time immemorial, and was only suppressed during the time from the early 19th century to the mid 20th, whatever the rest of the world's debt to slavery, I say as an American that Britain paid its debt many times over by holding back the trade for as long as it did. Rule Brittania!\nIt happened hundreds of years ago, get over it. End of story.\nWould all these descendents be better off living in Africa today or in the UK or America? The only thing holding the descendents back from the success that other minorities achieve is that today's Black \"Leaders\" greed is similar to that of the Black Leaders who sold the slaves in the first place. Assimilate in your society and throw off the shackles of low expectations!\nSo the British should make reparations for the slave trade. Very good. We'll pay up just as soon as the Roman Empire makes reparations to the British for making us their slaves.\nWho ever suggested that reparations should be done is a complete moron!\nIt would be like me trying to sue someone for the torment my ancestors went through, I'm damn sure those Romans enslaved them and as their decendant I have the mental scars!\nThe world is NOT a nice fluffy place, it never has been, slavery was perfectly acceptable back then it was the way the world worked \"I'm can kick your butt so do my bidding!\" So reparation is like sending your grandkids to prison for your crime!\nIN A WORD----------NO you ,bbc have opened a hornets nest with the publicity and as for that silly bishop why sould we pay for something that happened 200 years ago for instance, the church of england would be bancrupt, harewood house and its vast land, would have to be sold off come on it is fast going too far\nMy ancestors came to the USA from Europe at various times in the past - All settled in the north, none were slave owners - Some of my ancestors in the USA during the civil war fought on the northern side - some died. Some of my ancestors were abolutionists and participated in running the underground railroad which smuggled slaves to freedom via Canada. Why should I or any other guiltless person be required to contribute to reparations for the great great grandchildren of former slaves\nWhy pay reparation for something that happened 200 years ago. once again the bleeding heart liberals at the bbc spew this rubbish out on every news bulletin. look at the money WE give in aid and watch how it disappears to corrupt African governments. i did not vote for a government that wants to squander our money in an Africa that is still so corrupt. most of these slaves were sold to the traders by their own people.\nNo, reparations shouldn't be paid. Society changes and at the time of slavery, society accepted the use of African slaves. 1000's of years ago, White slaves were common place in Rome and Ancient Egypt also had their slaves. Should reparations be paid for that time in history as well? Reparations are silly .. to punish the society that freed the people is insane and will only create hostilities and second guessing to the value of the people asking for reparations.\nIf i read one more idiot on here suggesting i pay compensation for a 200 year old slavery problem, then thats it, i'm off to Scandinavia to sort out remuneration for the Viking pillaging and then down to France to demand an explanation for 1066!\nThe English were enslaved by the Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Normans, and today the majority are tax slaves of a Labour Government voted for by 22% of the electorate. So as Scotsmen Tony Blair and Gordon Brown should be apologising to the English tax slaves whose money they have wasted. Reparation should be made to students in England to repay student loans.\nThe only role Britain played, as a nation, in the slave trade, was to single-handedly enforce its end. Rather than making reparations, maybe Britain, as a nation, should be sending an invoice. . .\nUpdate: the Bishop of Rochester has his say:\nPoliticians, religious leaders and social activists have all joined in to bewail the undoubted horrors of slavery and to apologise for British complicity in this social evil.\nThose marching have been shackled hand and foot and have been wearing sweatshirts saying: \"So sorry.\"\nAnd yet this should be a time of celebration and of thanksgiving for Britain's role in bringing this great oppression and cruelty to an end. Why do the leaders and people of this country find it so difficult to acknowledge their achievements and to recognise the true source of their moral commitments?\nIf a civilisation is constantly criticised, run down and apologised for, the danger is that its virtues will cease to flourish.\nWhy? Because they're leftist tossers. And this is what leftist tossers do. . .\nWhile the lefties shriek that more should have been done in Afghanistan (and nothing should have been done in Iraq), I think it\u2019s quite important to question what more we could have done \u2013 that is if we didn\u2019t want to declare war on Pakistan as well. Relying on the Pakistani government to do a good deal of its own housework (with the exception of a number of joint raids and assaults, and for obvious reasons), is shaping up to being one of our weakest links.\nRival militants clash in Pakistan\nNearly 50 people have been killed after rising tension between local tribesmen and foreign militants in north-west Pakistan erupted into fierce fighting. Heavy shelling has raged since Monday near Wana in the South Waziristan tribal area close to Afghanistan. Most of those killed were militants from Uzbekistan suspected of links with al-Qaeda, officials said. At least two children also died in the crossfire.\nThe area is a stronghold of the Taleban, who have close ties to local tribes.\nIt is also home to hundreds of foreign militants who fled the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.\nCould the Taliban have been headed off, before escaping across the frontier, and wiped out (assuming the lefties would have condoned such action, of course \u2013 a silly question, really)? The question assumes that the Taliban\u2019s wellspring was and is Afghanistan. Moving back to the main question, however, there are solid indications that this situation may be getting worse.\nThe security situation in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province continues to deteriorate. Once again, Western pressure on the government of President Pervez Musharraf has failed to prevent Pakistan from handing over territory to the Taliban, this time to a group called the Movement for the Enforcement of Islamic Laws. On March 17, a Pakistani \"peace\" committee struck a verbal agreement with the Mohmand tribe, under which the government promised to cease military activity in Bajaur in exchange for the tribe's promise not to shelter \"foreigners\" or allow cross-border attacks into Afghanistan.\nA look at the players shows this agreement to be another pact with the devil.\nWhy the devil? Simple, the people Musharraf is negotiating with effectively inspired and sponsored the Taliban.\nFaqir Muhammad is a senior leader of the Movement for the Enforcement of Islamic Laws, which provided the ideological inspiration to the Afghan Taliban in the 1990s. Faqir's group sent over 10,000 fighters into Afghanistan to fight U.S. forces during Operation Enduring Freedom in October 2001.\nSince the signing of the Waziristan Accord on September 5, 2006, essentially ceding North Waziristan to the Taliban and al Qaeda, attacks in both Pakistan and Afghanistan have skyrocketed.\nWhile in the US, we have the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Carl Levin, saying, \"Long-term prospects for eliminating the Taliban threat appear dim so long as the sanctuary remains in Pakistan, and there are no encouraging signs that Pakistan is eliminating it\u201d, no one appears to be talking much about the long-term threat to (and from) Pakistan itself.\nGiven the extremist nature of a significant number of Pakistan\u2019s Muslims, not to mention the significant support originally given to the Taliban from elements of the Pakistani military and secret service, Pakistan is now shaping up as a very real potential problem.\nIf Musharraf were to be deposed, and let\u2019s face it, the Pakistanis have form in this area (and there have been several assassination attempts already), we could be facing a very real, very new, and very deadly Islamic threat entirely:\nPakistan's nukes.\nHero British fireman faces official punishment for risking his life in a rescue\nThis really IS the Unhinged Kingdom\nA fireman is facing disciplinary action after plunging into a river to rescue a drowning woman. Tam Brown, 42, is the subject of an internal investigation by Tayside Fire and Rescue because he breached safety rules during the rescue in the River Tay in Perth. He spent eight minutes in the cold water and at one stage feared that he would be swept to his death. But after dragging the 20-year-old woman to safety he was told by his employer that he had acted improperly by risking his life.\nMr Brown, who has 15 years' experience as a fireman, was hailed as a hero by the young woman's family but Tayside Fire and Rescue said that he had broken the brigade's \"standing instructions\" on safety procedures.\nHe said yesterday: \"I was expected to watch that young girl die in front of me. As a father and a caring human being, I couldn't live with myself if I'd had to do that.\"\nThe woman, who has not been identified, is believed to have jumped into the river on March 6 as \"a cry for help\". A member of the public called 999 and she was thrown a rope, but she was in danger of being sucked under by the current.\nMany drowning victims die before the emergency services arrive. Mr Brown said: \"We had seconds to act. The girl was losing consciousness. We had one harness, so I put that on and went down 20ft on a safety line, grabbed her and held her out of the water. My colleagues tried to pull us towards steps, but the current was so bad and the rope was pulled so hard it snapped. \"My own life hung in the balance as I swam for the steps with her in my arms. But we got there and were pulled out. I was in the water for eight minutes and it was heart-stoppingly cold, but we saved her.\"\nThe brigade's rules state: \"Personnel should not enter the water.\" The fire crew should instead have tried to haul the woman out using poles and ropes. Stephen Hunter, chief fire officer of Tayside Fire and Rescue, admitted that fire engines in Perth were not equipped with the correct poles and ropes, but insisted that Mr Brown had broken the rules. He said: \"Firefighter safety is of paramount importance to us. Although our duties include rescues from flooding, there is no statutory obligation to carry out rescues from moving water. \"We know they broke procedure because we know he went into the water. We are investigating exactly what happened, and once that is concluded we will consider what action is necessary. That could include disciplinary action.\"\nSteve Hill, chairman of the Perth branch of the Fire Brigades Union, said: \"Not one senior officer has congratulated Tam or the other officers who attended that night. They should be elated they saved a life but are traumatised that they face disiplinary action instead.\" He added: \"Contradicting an order can lead to dismissal. If Tam hadn't gone in, the public might have tried to save her and we could have ended up with several dead.\"\nMore religion of peace and tolerance.\nIncase your local news outlet forgets to let you know about the warmth, love and tolerance you infidels may receive in certain parts of the world.

Super-sized vehicles have been introduced and new air ambulances will be remodelled to carry heavier people.\nIn a recent case in Sydney it took 16 people several hours to take an injured man from his home to hospital. He weighed about 400kg (69 st) and had broken his leg. Emergency workers had to demolish part of his house to lift him out.\nCome on Australia, get off your bums and lose some pounds, this is not just expensive since we the tax payer is coughing up to carry your ass around, it\u2019s also embarrassing.\nBBC pays 200,000 pounds to 'cover up report on anti-Israel bias'\nThe BBC has been accused of \"shameful hypocrisy\" over its decision to spend 200,000 pounds blocking a freedom of information request about its reporting in the Middle East. The corporation, which has itself made extensive use of FOI requests in its journalism, is refusing to release papers about an internal inquiry into whether its reporting has been biased towards Palestine.\nBBC chiefs have been accused of wasting thousands of pounds of licence fee payers money trying to cover-up the findings of the so called Balen Report into its journalism in the region, despite the fact that the corporation is funded by the British public. The corporation is fighting a landmark High Court action, which starts next week, in a bid to prevent the public finding out what is in the review, which is believed to be critical of the BBC's coverage in the region.\nBBC bosses have faced repeated claims that is coverage of the Arab-Israeli conflict has been skewed by a pro-Palestianian bias. The corporation famously came under fire after middle-east correspondent Barbara Plett revealed that she had cried at the death of Yasser Arafat in 2004.\nThe BBC's decision to carry on pursuing the case, despite the fact than the Information Tribunal said it should make the report public, has sparked fury as it flies in the face of claims by BBC chiefs that it is trying to make the corporation more open and transparent. Politicians have branded the BBC's decision to carry on spending money, hiring the one of the country's top public law barrister in the process, as \"absolutely indefensible\".\nThe other day, I posted that, \"Any policy or ideology that ends human life and/or hinders human progress will win the quiet support of the left. On ending human life though, they are against ending the lives of mass murderers, rapists, pedophiles etc, simply because if you start hanging pedophiles and mass murderers, that might deter other such scum from doing the same and hence fewer human lives will be destroyed.\"\nAt the time I offered proof of this, here, here and here. Well, I found more evidence of 'hindrance to human progress', let me share an article by Melanie Phillips with you.\nAs part of a drive to admit more students from disadvantaged backgrounds, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) says applicants will now be asked to declare whether their parents have degrees or other higher education qualifications.\nLet me jump in and add to this. If any of us were filling out such an application and knew that the educational standing of our parents would be a disadvantage to us, I\u2019m willing to bet that very few of us would be dumb enough to tell the truth. I\u2019m also willing to bet that the leftists have thought of this already and will find a way to angle in ways to check up on our personal histories. Don\u2019t bother thinking that you have a right to privacy and all that, that\u2019s only in place to protect convicted pedophiles and for hardcore jihadists to plot our downfall in peace.\nThe ostensible reason is to widen participation at university by compensating for disadvantage and thus creating a level playing field. In effect, it means that if you are unfortunate enough to have white parents who have degrees and good jobs, the university admissions process will be rigged against you. However well-qualified you may be, however hard you have worked and however good your exam grades, you stand to lose your chance of a university place to someone who can tick all the right boxes about their parents\u2019 circumstances.\nThis, we are told, is necessary to create a fairer society. And why stop at parents? Why not also discriminate against those applicants whose grandparents went to university? Isn\u2019t such third generation advantage even worse?\nOnce they\u2019re done with your parents, you can bet they\u2019ll be on to your grandpa and grandma as well. Do you know where else the sins of the grandparents are held against their children and their children? That\u2019s right, North Korea, who said leftists don\u2019t like brutal dictatorships.\nClearly, in the interests of diversity and widening participation, the only people who should go to university are the black children of lone alcoholic mothers and fathers who are doing time for drug offences, and who were brought up by illiterate foster parents who sexually abused them in a mobile home up an isolated dirt track in Cumbria.\nSo how does this fit in with the \u2018hindering progress\u2019 bit, well it doesn\u2019t end human life but, Phillips explains.\nNot only is it monumentally unfair, but it is also self-defeating. The whole point is supposedly to help people escape from disadvantage in order to succeed in life. But discriminating in this way against those who have succeeded is obviously a powerful disincentive to succeeding in the first place.\nMelanie Phillips goes on to explain how the government has, for years, dumbed-down the educational standards and this is just the next step. Here are the results.\nBetween 2002 and 2005, the proportion of university entrants from state schools and the lowest social classes fell. Social mobility has actually gone backwards as a result of the collapse of educational standards across the board.\nSee here for the results of a report that was released in November 2006. Basically, up to 3.3 million children are receiving inadequate education in Britain, despite a record spending of 400 billion pounds on education.

It\u2019s that democracy thing that stands in their way, so they have to do it by stealth and they are. The onus is on us, the public, to examine their policies for what they are and learn from the mistakes of others and our own.\nBeing Fed to the. . .\nIRAN is threatening to retaliate in Europe for what it claims is a daring undercover operation by western intelligence services to kidnap senior officers in its Revolutionary Guard.\nAccording to Iranian sources, several officers have been abducted in the past three months and the United States has drawn up a list of other targets to be seized with the aim of destabilising Tehran\u2019s military command.\nIn an article in Subhi Sadek, the Revolutionary Guard\u2019s weekly paper, Reza Faker, a writer believed to have close links to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, warned that Iran would strike back. \u201cWe\u2019ve got the ability to capture a nice bunch of blue-eyed blond-haired officers and feed them to our fighting cocks,\u201d he said.\nI\u2019m kind of hoping something got lost in translation here, but you never do know. . .\nBritain: Throwing celery now incorrect! (It's true)\nEven though it has never done any harm. Hard to imagine that it could!\nIs the right to bear celery a civil liberties issue? It certainly wasn't what the Founding Fathers had in mind when they drafted the US constitution. However, this week's news that Chelsea Football Club has banned celery from Stamford Bridge has pushed this humble vegetable to the forefront of the civil rights agenda. To paraphrase Voltaire: I don't like to eat celery, but I'll defend to the death your right to throw it.\nCelery throwing, in case you weren't aware, is a slightly surreal Chelsea tradition that dates back to the 1980s. The vegetable throwing is an accompaniment to the famous `Celery song', a paean to the erotic properties of the humble apium graveolens dulce: `Celery, celery, if she don't come, I'll tickle her bum, with a lump of celery'.\nUntil this week the origins of the chant were a mystery to me. However, after trawling football websites, I came across the theory that the chant is based on a Chas and Dave recording of a traditional cockney singalong called `Ask Old Brown To Tea'. Not being particularly familiar with the Chas and Dave canon, I consulted my friend Ed, a self-confessed aficionado of the London pub rockers. He confirmed that the Chas and Dave connection was correct. The original lyric was, `Ask Old Brown to tea, and his family, if he don't come, I'll tickle his bum, with a lump-a celery'. Chas and Dave recorded a version on an old Christmas album, which then became a hit among travelling Chelsea fans on a tour of Sweden in 1981, and a tradition was born.\nHowever, the football authorities haven't always taken kindly to celery throwing. In 1996, Gillingham FC banned celery from the Priestfield stadium after a goalkeeper complained that he had been struck by the vegetable. In 2002, four Chelsea fans were prosecuted and fined for `throwing celery without lawful authority' during the FA Cup semi-final against Fulham. The latest clampdown on celery throwing came after the Carling Cup Final, when Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas was showered with celery as he went to take a corner. Fabregas wasn't injured by the flying vegetables. In fact, the young midfielder, who is probably used to an entirely different calibre of makeshift missile in his native Spain, looked rather bewildered.\nAlthough nobody was hurt, the FA has launched an investigation into this and another celery-throwing incident involving Chelsea fans and the club has decided to make Stamford Bridge a celery-free zone. `The throwing of anything at a football match, including celery, is a criminal offence for which you can be arrested and end up with a criminal record', said a statement on the club's website. `In future, if anyone is found attempting to bring celery into Stamford Bridge they could be refused entry and anyone caught throwing celery will face a ban.'\nAs I've argued before on spiked, a policy of banning specific objects that might be used as missiles will always be subverted by human ingenuity (1). If celery is banned, then fans will simply throw coins, cigarette lighters, or mobile phones instead. In 2002, a linesman was struck by a half-eaten meat pie at Millwall's New Den. Is a bunch of celery more hazardous than a meat pie? How many people, I wonder, have been injured by celery at a football match? According to Home Office figures there were 78 arrests for missile throwing in the 2005/6 season, only 16 of which were at Premiership matches (2). The fact that only seven Chelsea fans were arrested for throwing missiles in all competitions last season doesn't suggest a particularly widespread problem. Moreover, it is not possible to tell from the statistics whether these arrests were for chucking celery or more bog standard projectiles such as coins or plastic bottles.\nThe police may, of course, have been taking a softly-softly approach to celery throwing, so I contacted the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) to find out whether flying celery is a health hazard. `I don't think we can find any instances of people struck by vegetables at sporting fixtures,' Roger Vincent from the RoSPA press office told me. Vincent thought that, while throwing bunches of celery might be dangerous, there wasn't anything wrong with fans waving the vegetable. (Perhaps Chelsea fans should follow the lead of the campaign for safe standing and start a `safe celery' campaign.)\nNext I tried the Football Licensing Authority (FLA), which was set up after the Hillsborough disaster to oversee stadium safety. According to the FLA website, the rate of fan injuries at football matches in the 2005/6 season was one injury per 32,449 spectators, of which 65 required hospital treatment (3). Two thirds of these injuries resulted from trips, falls or contact with turnstiles, while half of the remaining injuries were scalds from hot drinks. What about flying vegetables then? I rang the FLA to find out. `There is nothing on record to say anyone's been injured by a vegetable,' said Nikki Rutherford who compiles the FLA injury statistics. `We did have one person choking on a meat pie but that was about all,' she added. So, there you have it, the half-time catering is far more hazardous to spectators than flying celery.\nChelsea might be despised for their new-found wealth and success but celery throwing remains one of their more endearing traits. The spectacle of thousands of Chelsea fans singing their lewd ditty and hurling celery is guaranteed to bring a smile to the face of most football fans, regardless of club allegiance. However, the football authorities evidently fail to see the funny side. Celery is now salata non grata at Stamford Bridge. Worse still, the club is urging supporters to ring a special hotline and inform on anyone seen throwing celery inside the stadium. A celery hotline, for Christ's sake! George Orwell himself couldn't have made it up.\nYet another one of my websites has gone out of existence. Background: I have always had a website in webspace provided by my ISP but one does of course lose that if one changes to another ISP. And some ISP websites I have known have had big glitches that make them of only limited use. So I have always had \"backup\" websites with my writings on them. But the backup sites nearly all seem to be run by arrogant nerds who feel free to delete a customer's account any time they like. And they do like. I have never tried to keep track of it all but there must be about 10 addresses where my writings once appeared but which now just give an error message. The latest such is here.\nI have enquired why the site just mentioned was deleted but got only a form-letter reply that gave me no clue about what my sin was in their eyes. The fact that I occasionally mention the most obscene four letter word of the modern age -- \"r*ce\" -- probably accounts for a lot of the cancellations I have had. Using that word makes me guilty of \"hate speech\" of course and webspace providers usually seem to have a \"policy\" about that. That I use the word in a scholarly way is obviously too deep a distinction for a lot of nerds.\nThe most reliable hosting service for me has in fact been blogspot -- though they go offline for a short while every now and then. Anyway, I cope with the unreliability of it all by putting up multiple copies of everything I write in different places on the net. So if my writings cease to be available in one place they will still be available somewhere else. The three \"home pages\" I list at the bottom of all postings here are all to sites that DO currently work most of the time and that do have most of my writings on them. So if at first you don't succeed, don't keep trying: try another one!\nIf blogspot ever bans me that will be pretty pesky (they DO delete blogs on \"hate speech\" grounds. See e.g. here) so keep handy a link to my only Wordpress blog -- IMMIGRATION WATCH -- in case that happens. I will use the Wordpress site to redirect readers to new non-blogspot sites in case that should ever be needed. The owners of blogspot are of course G*ogle -- which is why I generally mention their name in modified form only. I want to be as far below their radar as possible. They DO run searches to see what people are saying about them. There are around 1500 other blogs that link to Dissecting Leftism alone so all those links would become dead if blogspot got nasty with me.\nWhat a massive own-goal this is:\nTHE US House of Representatives has defied President George W. Bush, voting to impose a September 1, 2008, deadline for withdrawing all American combat troops from Iraq.\nIn a mostly partisan 218-212 vote, House Democrats succeeded in attaching the deadline to legislation authorizing more than $124 billion in emergency funds, mostly for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan this year.\nThe vote was a significant victory for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and her fellow Democrats who took control of Congress in last November's elections on a pledge to end the increasingly unpopular war in Iraq.\n\u201cWe're going to make a difference with this bill. We're going to bring those troops home,\u201d said Rep. John Murtha, his voice cracking with emotion. It's a historic moment for our party and a historic moment for our country,\u201d Pelosi said.\nWords are insufficient to describe what a gibbering idiot this woman Pelosi is. Historic moment? It certainly is. It has broadcast to our enemies that the leader of the Western world hasn\u2019t the will to fight anymore (not to mention where its greatest weakness lies); it has shown without a shadow of a doubt that we haven't the will for the hard yards in the face of consummate evil. You\u2019ll see a concerted effort to step up insurgent attacks from this point on [see the update below]. We can only hope the surge will keep their heads down, but the Jihadis and the Ba\u2019athists now see light at the end of the tunnel, thanks to their greatest ally and the gaping great chink in our armour: the Western left.\nA resurgent 'insurgent' vigour is pretty much now guaranteed. I won\u2019t even mention how this must affect the morale of the troops on the ground.\nAll but two House Republicans voted against the legislation, which they say will tie military leaders' hands and contribute to failure in Iraq.\nTwo gutless weasels.\nHouse Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio warned, \u201cWe have no choice but to win. If we fail in Iraq, you'll see the rise even further and faster of radical terrorism all around the world.\u201d\nDuncan Hunter, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, slammed the bill as being \"detrimental to our national security and injurious to our military\" because of the August 2008 pullout provision.\n\"Is there a strategic rationale for this date? Nothing that I have seen on the ground in Iraq - and I was there just 10 days ago - suggests that Congress should force a precipitous withdrawal from Iraq and tie the hands of American military commanders,\" Mr Hunter said today.\nHunter is right. This has nothing to do with any strategic rationale, other than ensuring failure. Split along two fairly distinct lines, one half of the lot who voted for (or supported) this wants its own country screwed, the other half just wants to screw anything to do with the current POTUS, no matter what the cost. Either way, we\u2019re all screwed.\nIf the globe had been united in removing a vicious mass-murderer from minute one \u2013 as it should have been, if the (hollow) words of bodies such as the UN were to mean anything at all (which they manifestly do not) \u2013 the outcome would have been totally different, and another victory against evil and despotism would have been won. The truth is, though, there are many among us who don\u2019t mind mass-murdering tyrants (or mass-murdering, pretty much full stop) in the slightest \u2013 as demonstrated by their eager delight at the first opportunity to jump into the partisan point-scoring pit and start tossing marbles into the works. These people (and certain like-minded nations) were and are quite happy to see a creature like Saddam stay precisely where he is, doing more of this.\nThese moral midgets just don\u2019t have the honesty to admit it.\nUpdate: I\u2019m going to resile from something I\u2019ve said in this post: that there will be an upswing in violence. There won\u2019t be (apart, possibly, from a few isolated attacks). Why should there be? They\u2019ve won. In fact, further attacks of a similar scale would be totally counter-productive, and entirely runs against their long-term strategy (which is what the bombings have been all about). Now will be the time to foster resources for next year, when the Americans pull out. The impression of relative peace will also serve to lull everyone into a false sense of security: \u2018See - we were right,\u2019 the leftist dullards - our civilisation's idiot child - will all twitter.\nAnd when the Americans do pull out?\nThen it will hit the fan.\nAnd only one guess what you'll be hearing from the Mao-monkeys then. . .\nDUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Iranian naval vessels on Friday seized 15 British sailors and marines in disputed Persian Gulf waters off the coast of Iraq.\nThe Britons were assigned to a task force that protects Iraqi oil terminals and maintains security in Iraqi waters under authority of the U.N. Security Council.\nBritain's Defense Ministry said the Royal Navy personnel were \"engaged in routine boarding operations of merchant shipping in Iraqi territorial waters,\" and had completed a ship inspection when they were accosted by the Iranian vessels.\nThe seizure of the British vessels, a pair of rigid inflatable boats known as RIBs, took place in long-disputed waters just outside of the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab waterway that divides Iraq from Iran, Cmdr. Kevin Aandahl, of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, said. A 1975 treaty divided the waters down the middle between Iraq and Iran, but the area remains disputed.\n\"It's been in dispute for some time,\" Aandahl said. \"We've been operating there for a couple of years and we know the lines very well. This was a compliant boarding, this happens routinely. What's out of the ordinary is the Iranian response.\"\nIt\u2019s suspected the Iranians are playing tit-for-tat over the recent arrest of their boys in Northern Iraq, who are still being held. The difference here is manifest. Are these British personnel going to be held hostage, now?\nCoupled with their strident nuclear ambitions, the Iranians seem hell bent on stepping up the heat.\nMuslims lose one\n\"A Paris court today acquitted the editor of a satirical French weekly sued by two Muslim groups for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, in a case seen as a test for freedom of expression. Applause broke out in the courtroom at the announcement of the verdict, which ruled that three cartoons published by the weekly Charlie Hebdo in February 2006 were not insulting to Muslims.\nThe Paris Grand Mosque and the Union of Islamic Organisations of France took Philippe Val, the Charlie Hebdo editor, to court for reprinting cartoons that first appeared in a Danish newspaper, sparking angry protests by Muslims worldwide. They argued that the images drew an offensive link between Islam and terrorism and asked for 30,000 euros in damages.\nI cannot resist mentioning that the lawyer for the Paris Mosque was named Christophe Bigot. And Pajamas Media says it was not much of a victory.\nI have never studied French but I think the first cartoon above says: \"Muhammad overwhelmed by fundamentalists\" and \"It is hard to be loved by fools\" and the second says: \"It is Charlie Hebdo's fault\"\nTHE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN LENNON AND YOKO ONO\nYour morality is what guides you in your choices between right and wrong, good and evil. If you believe it's wrong to enjoy life in a successful capitalist society, you'll feel guilty about your high living standard and a disproportionate consumption of world's resources. By extension, you wouldn't want to miss the once-in-a-year opportunity to redeem your sins by supporting such a highly moral cause as an anti-war protest.\nBut what is the source of a morality that forbids to fight terrorism and views the United States as the enemy? Clearly it isn't rooted in the American tradition. Such a morality manifested itself on a massive scale for the first time in the 1960s. Many of today's protesters admittedly crave to recapture the spirit of those days. Many will be singing John Lennon's \"Imagine.\"\nMy research has led me to the excerpts from Yoko Ono and John Lennon's articles published in the 1972 editions of Sundance magazine. Although attributed to John and Yoko jointly, they were written mostly by Yoko who clearly was the one wearing the pants. It should be a required read for everyone who would like to know where their otherwise lazy and cynical leftist opponents get their passionate idealistic convictions from. Here is a condensed list:\n2. \"The fenceless and doorless world is soon to come.\" Obviously it's a good thing.\n3. Middle America is stupid and \"afraid of youth and the future.\"\n4. People work not because they're glad to have a job but because they're being bullied into working by the \"tyranny and suppression of the capitalists.\" (Karl Marx called and left a message).\n5. Immature youth are \"the aware ones\"; traditional education and thought discipline is the enemy.\n7. \"Come together rather than claim independence.\"\n8. \"Feel rather than think.\"\n10. Possessions are immoral. \"Any possession that is more than what you need belongs to someone who needs it.\"\n11. A worldwide revolution (\"progress\") is inevitable, and such a future \"cannot be anything but brightness.\"\n12. To resist the revolution is immoral because it prolongs people's suffering.\n13. A society based on competitiveness and logic produces \"hypocrisy, violence, and chaos.\"\n14. A society based on love rather than reasoning will produce \"balance, peace, and contentment.\"\n15. To remove evil from this world men must be feminized (if you liked this one you will also like \"The DaVinci Code\" which is a 500-pages-long regurgitation of this very doctrine).\nAbsurdities may be a good material for rock lyrics, but presented as a life philosophy they are, well, absurd. Nonetheless, in the absence of logic and reason whose use had been abolished by liberal education, this psychobabble has become Holy Scripture of the new \"progressive\" religion. John's fame and his unfortunate martyrdom have turned these mind games into unquestionable prophecies. They might as well be called the Gospel of John and Yoko, from which generations of protesters have been religiously drawing their strength and moral fortitude. Can you say, \"Imagine no religion?\"\nWhile Yoko may not be the original creator of these inanities, she certainly succeeded in presenting them as the original \"Instant Flower Garden\" combination package. Planted into the heads of faithful innocents, the seeds have grown into the bizarre efflorescence covering the left side of America's brain that we are dealing with today.\nSo many of these uncontested absurdities have been inserted as moral messages in popular novels, TV shows, and Hollywood movies, that one can only wonder how come they haven't yet become the country's official ideology. One might even suspect there's some ominous dark force in this society that is preventing a total compliance with the \"progressive\" morality. A conservative might identify the culprit as the good old common sense. But if you are a frustrated \"progressive,\" you will either blame it on the American stupidity, or claim a criminal conspiracy. Either way you may become convinced that the culprit had better be eliminated with prejudice for the sake of the Greater Good.\nIf you believe the Gospel of John and Yoko represents a higher morality, you will naturally begin to resent such obstacles in the way of \"progress\" as reason, the rule of law, common sense, the need to be a master of your own life, and the responsibility for your own well-being. And since the United States of America was built on such values and remains their most dedicated proponent, any honest and consistent \"progressive\" is bound to develop a seething hatred towards this country.\nIn the \"progressive\" book of virtues, American values are the quintessence of evil. So if you are a \"progressive\" and you aren't mad at this country, that just means you're neither honest nor consistent. But then again, because living by this dead-end moral code is logically impossible, one has to resort to hypocrisy and seek compromises, forever balancing on the edge of madness.\nSuch mad morality is exactly what drives people into crowds at anti-war rallies. The fate of Iraq is not their biggest concern. Protesting the war is more of an excuse to take revenge for the daily torture of maddening hypocrisy and compromises with the \"system.\" Believers in the Gospel of John and Yoko use these rallies to claim high moral ground, work out anxieties, seek reassurance - and some of the die-hards may even still harbor hope that a collective hallucination will somehow change the objective reality - just as the prophecy predicted.\nAs for the Iraqis - to hell with them! Let them all kill each other. \"Progressives\" have more pressing issues, struggling to maintain and expand their high moral ground. They have never cared about the lives of the people they claimed to protect. They didn't care about the Soviets, Cubans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, or Palestinians. It was always about them and their maddening inner struggles.\nGranted, this mad dead-end morality has always existed in various forms around the world. But it was in the 1960s that it gained such massive proportions in this country - and has been growing ever since, affecting schools, culture, politics, and even science - occasionally winning the official status. So even if America had swallowed and digested a refutation of itself then, it has suffered such a severe poisoning that many toxins have reached as far as the Capitol Hill and settled there, resulting in Congress's erratic and self-destructive behavior.\nAttempts to confront the lure of \"progressive\" ideology with facts and logic have failed and will continue to fail because the \"progressive\" faith is not based on facts and logic. It is based on morality and this is the ground on which it must be fought.\nConservatives who support their positions with economic and political data but give away high moral ground to the \"progressives\" are thereby admitting that their economic and political achievements are immoral - and thus have no right to exist. Those seeking middle ground and a moral compromise are thereby proposing that hypocrisy and absence of moral standards be made the law of the land. Guess what fish will grow most rapidly in those murky waters!\nThe only way to fight absurdity is by exposing it for what it is - an absurdity. The \"progressive\" morality based on logical fallacies and wishful thinking cannot sustain the life of a society or even one individual. It lures people with seemingly easy solutions to life's problems, but results in breeding hateful wrecks wallowing in their own madness, trapped in their communal moral dead end, longing for self-destruction and trying to drag the rest of us down with them.\nBecause the spreading of the \"progressive\" morality has always brought suffering and misery to real-life humans, it should be exposed as inhuman and condemned. It should be opposed with the true human morality that is based on life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness - the one that has proven to spread happiness, prosperity, and real progress without any quotation marks.\nIPCC HELPS SHIELD DUBIOUS DATA FROM OPEN EXAMINATI...\nIRRELEVANT EXPERTISE: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CONSUL...\nHero British fireman faces official punishment fo...\nBBC pays 200,000 pounds to 'cover up report on an...\nBritain: Throwing celery now incorrect!

        "raw_content": "White privilege as a Nazi concept\nHostility to people purely on the basis of their race\nHitler called himself and acted like a socialist. And those people today who preach white privilege would, I think, usually embrace gladly the claim that they are socialists. So the transmission of an idea from a socialist of the past to modern-day socialists is not surprising. But first, some background:\nA large part of Hitler's success in getting Germans to follow him is that he was a sentimentalist. He was in fact sentimental about something that was a idea in the heads of many Germans of the 19th century: The idea of Ein grosses Deutschland (a greater Germany). As far back as one could go, there had been many German states, some of which were even at war with one-another at times. Religion was one reason for that but that had been ended by the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. And like the leftist idealists of today who revere the European Union or the United Nations, a lot of Germans were dissatisfied with German disunity and dreamed of a new German union that would replace conflict with peace.\nIn the early 1870s the dream was partly realized by the creation of a Deutsches Reich: (German Empire) under the aegis of Bismarck. But that was a kleindeutsches solution that left outside the important German lands of Austria. And Hitler was an Austrian. So the dream of Germans united in one big happy family lived on in Hitler and in many Germans generally. And absolutely anathema to that dream was anything which disunited Germans.\nBut in the immediate period after WWI, Germany was very disunited indeed. Leftist ideas of all sorts dominated the place. And prominent in the ferment were Marxist revolutionaries. And in some parts of Germany, Communist regimes were set up. and Hitler was in the middle of it all.\nWhile he was growing up in Linz, Hitler saw few Jews and regarded them as just another religion. In Mein Kampf he described himself as being a \"cosmopolitan\" in Linz. He had no racial consciousness. It was only when he moved to Vienna that he began to notice Jews. And he particularly noticed that they were very prominent among Marxist agitators. They were the extremists of a generally Leftist scene. And Hitler hated that. The Marxists were preaching class war among Germans whereas Hitler wanted Germans to be one big happy family. The old German dream of unity still lived on in an Austrian who had been left outside Bismarck's \"Deutsches Reich\".\nSo it is then that Hitler became an antisemite. He retained his romantic ideal of a happily united Grosses Deutschland so saw in the Marxist preachers of Vienna enemies of that ideal. And it was something of a godsend that the preachers concerned were mainly members of a group who had been outsiders since the Pharaohs: The Jews. So it seemed obvious to Hitler that German unity was being undermined by a group who were not really German: The enemies of the German dream were Jews. Hitler tells us all that in Mein Kampf, where he even lists the names of the Marxist Jewish agitators of Vienna in immediate postwar Vienna. He documents what he saw as Jewish perfidy. Mein Kampf is not terribly reliable as objective history but it is Hitler's best effort at describing his own emotional history. And his emotions were what drove him.\nAs time went on, however, Hitler noted something else. Jews were having it both ways. They were destroying Germany but also exploiting it. They were not only revolutionaries but also sat at the top of every pyramid in Germany. They were not only prominent in politics but were also the bankers, businessmen, professionals and artists. That seemed very suspicious to Hitler. How did an anti-German group of outsiders get to run everything in Germany? It had to be some sort of conspiracy. And Hitler thought he knew exactly how that conspiracy worked: Jewish clannishness: Jews stuck together and gave one another a leg-up into positions of power.\nSo was Hitler right? Was the prominence of Jews in Germany earned or unearned? These day, just about every commentator on the period would say that Hitler was wrong. Jews had gained their positions of prominence fair and square. They were an elite within Germany by dint of intelligence, energy and hard work. And much the same accounts for very similar Jewish prominence in the Western world to this day. The Jewish bankers of Wall St are legendary -- Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, for instance -- and even the head of Australia's largest bank is Jewish -- Ian Narev. You just can't keep Jews down for long. Ian Narev's parents were refugees but in one bound he overcame that.\nSo I don't think envy of Jews is reasonable any more. They have earned their prominence. Their personal characteristics are what reliably brings them to the top of every heap every time.\nSo I have a radical proposal: It is the same with whites generally. Whites generally have earned whatever positions of prominence and privilege that they hold. There is nothing nefarious about white privilege, any more than there is anything nefarious about Jewish eminence. Whites do better than most minorities for good reasons, for personal reasons. They have, for instance, greater self discipline, greater intelligence and a greater tendency towards deferment oif gratification. Not all whites have such attributes any more than all Jews have Jewish tendencies but, on average, whites do better.\nBut why does that matter? Should we not judge each person on their own individual merits, as the United Nations charter proclaims? I think we should. But the Left do not. They commit exactly the same error that Hitler did. They see people not as individuals but as a race. They are just as racist as Hitler. And, as with Hitler, there is some reality underlying their hatred. Whites really do seem privileged compared to blacks. Whites run the show while blacks are confined to just a few areas of success in sport and entertainment.\nSo, yes. There is white privilege but it is earned. And it is not only the product of white success but also the product of black failure. Why is it that a cop who pulls up a black motorist will be on hair-trigger alert while he will be much more relaxed if he pulls up a white? Because blacks are in general far more hostile to the police and more likely to attack the cop. And with the cop on hair-trigger alertt, the black sometimes gets shot for no good reason. One false move and the black is dead. Let me tell of my own white \"privilege\" in that connection:\nMy contact with American law enforcement is very minor but I do think my contact with the California Highway Patrol -- not exactly a much praised body of men -- is instructive. My contact occurred in the 1970s, when Jimmy Carter's reviled 55 mph speed limit still applied on American highways. I was bowling along a Los Angeles freeway in my hired Ford Pinto at about the speed I would have used in Australia -- 65 mph.\nA CHP patrol detected me and pulled me over. The trooper approached me very cautiously, sticking close to the side of the Pinto and standing behind me instead of beside me. He was obviously very tense. But when he found that I was unaggressive and perfectly civil to him, he untensed rapidly. The fact that I speak with an accent that Americans usually perceive as British may also have helped. It helped explain my unawareness of California rules. We had a perfectly genial conversation at the end of which he waved me on my way without even giving me a ticket.\nWhite privilege? Not exactly. Because something similar happened recently to me where I live in Brisbane, Australia -- a place where blacks are too few to influence policy.\nI was approached by a Queensland cop when I had unwittingly made an illegal turn. And Queensland cops are not exactly fragrant. There are many bad apples among them. Even the police Commissioner was sent to jail for corruption not long ago.\nSo the cop was initially brusque and supercilious with me. When I showed that I was listening to him carefully by asking him to repeat something I had not understood, however, he became much more relaxed and we had a fairly genial conversation. He saw it as his duty to give me a ticket but we ended up with him wishing me a Merry Christmas and pausing other traffic to facilitate my driving off. Once again a civil and co-operative approach from me got exactly the same back.\nSo the important thing is how the individual and others like him will behave. There are all sorts of \"privileges\" in the world but individual behaviour is the key to it and talk of race entirely misses the point. Ranting about white privilege is no different than Hitler ranting about Jews. The privilege exists but it is earned. And the Leftist obsession with race is obnoxious. So my advice to the Left: Talk about privilege and try to understand it all you like -- but skip the race-hate.\nThe word that controversial free speech advocate Milo Yiannopoulos regrets uttering\nI personally would burn pedophilic scum at the stake, as it can be very damaging in the context of our culture. Those of us who study ancient history, however, know that in the brilliant culture of ancient Greece, homosexual pedophilia was not only normal but regarded as beneficial to a boy's education and development. Yiannopoulos was probably aware of that. He is himself Greek. The words he used are certainly reminiscent of ancient Greek thinking. I am told that modern-day Greeks can read ancient Greek with a bit of effort.\nThere are however some things well-known in scholarly circles which cause outrage when mentioned in public -- such as average black IQ -- so it was certainly unwise of Yiannopoulos to say what he did. He is an iconoclast but that is one area where there is no public support for iconoclasm. As a homosexual, he was probably out of touch with mainstream views on the matter.\nI am walking on thin ice in making this comment. Chris Brand was fired from a tenured teaching job at the University of Edinburgh for saying that there are varieties of pedophilia and that not all are equally harmful, which, I suspect, reflects his own experience.\nThe British upper class are notoriously homosexual in their youth. It is said that in British \"public\" (Private) schools, homosexuality was not so much condoned as compulsory. Those old respectable British guys pictured in felt hats and smoking pipes could well have sucked on other things in their past\nI hope I have made clear, however, that my comment is a scholarly one and that I do not in any way approve of any sort of pedophilia. I am a much published academic psychologist so it lies well within my field of academic expertise to make a scholarly comment on the matter.\nIT HAS been a shocking 48 hours for Twitter\u2019s most hated man, Milo Yiannopoulos.\nThe Trump-loving, gay, conservative firebrand has had what his detractors could accurately describe as a stunning fall from grace, which culminated this morning with him being forced out of his job as tech editor at controversial right-wing news site Breitbart. In part, due to what he described as \u201cimprecise language\u201d.\nThe self proclaimed \u201cvirtuous troll\u201d has been accused of inciting hatred towards feminists, trans people and the Black Lives Matter movement, promoting white nationalists ideas, and has been banished from Twitter.\nBut it was remarks he made in a podcast about underage sex that prompted a new level of backlash against the 33-year-old. On Tuesday a clip from last year was widely circulated in which Mr Yiannopoulos flippantly said young boys \u201cdiscover who they are\u201d through relationships with older men, later implying that those relationships can be sexual in nature.\nFor him, it was the choice of a single word that brought him undone. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have used the word boy,\u201d he said during a lengthy press conference this morning announcing he was leaving Breitbart.\n\u201cGay men often use the word boy or girl to mean men of consenting age. But I understand how heterosexual people may not have realised that and that was an error,\u201d he said.\n\u201cI\u2019m certainly guilty of imprecise language, which I regret. But anyone who suggests I turn a blind eye to illegal activity or the abuse of minors is unequivocally wrong.\u201d\nMr Trump's manner of speaking\nMr Trump's language has been much criticized. It is said to be disjointed, illogical and to ignore all rules of English grammar. Against that, it has just won the man the Presidency of the United States. What is going on?\nVarious people have noted some strengths in the way Trump communicates. For instance, he uses very simple words and simple sentences. He repeats himself a lot so that you will be sure to get his point. But there is more to it than that. For a start he uses concepts that have a lot of emotional power -- patriotism and safety from danger in particular.\nMost important of all, however, he speaks not as a polished intellectual but as a man of the people. He speaks like a welder or a farmer or a burger flipper. Yet he has a degree in economics and has long moved in the most exalted circles. How come he speaks in such a strange way for his background?\nI think it is partly learned. A couple of Australian examples are, I think, enlightening. Bob Hawke was one of Australia's most popular Prime Ministers. He had been a Rhodes scholar and came from an educated family. Yet in his speeches he always spoke with a broad Australian accent and used a lot of slang and colloquial expressions. Like Trump, he sounded like a worker, though he was nowhere nearly as disjointed as Trump.\nSo it was very amusing when he retired. When interviewed after his retirement, he would speak in an educated way -- both in accent and in vocabulary. He had been \"putting it on\" as Australians say. He had been pretending to be what he was not.\nSo where did he learn to do that? He had long involved himself in the union movement. And a lot of unionists were genuine working class people. Over the years, Hawke had learned to model his speech on theirs so that he would seem \"One of us\". It worked. It got him the Prime ministership of Australia for eight years.\nAnother instructive example was a long-serving Premier of the Australian state of Queensland: Sir Johannes Bjelke Petersen. Sir Joh's speech was even closer to Trump's speech: Very similar indeed. He also had a messy speech delivery that the elite all dismissed as being beyond comprehension. Journalists and others claimed it was just impossible to understand what he was saying. But Joh was a farmer and he spoke like a farmer, not like an educated man. And ordinary farmers and working people generally understood him just fine. He kept getting their vote and ended up running Queensland for nearly 20 years -- from 1968 to 1987. So who was the fool?\nThe Honourable Sir Johannes Bjelke-Petersen, KCMG\nTrump comes from the opposite end of the socio-economic scale from Sir Joh so how come he talks in a working class manner? He grew up in the Queens borough of NYC, which is a very diverse place so he would have heard working class speech there pretty often and it would have become part of normality for him. He knew how to speak that way if he wanted to.\nAnd he has always had a hands-on attitude to his building projects and has often been on site talking to the workers doing the building. So it would seem that his conversations with them have reinforced a liking not only for them and their views but also for some of their speech patterns. Their patterns became his patterns. And those speech patterns sound to large numbers of Americans as \"like us\". Powerful stuff. He talks to the people in their own language. His accent is New York Queens and that too conveys an image of the blunt, no-nonsense New Yorker.\nSo on those two Australian precedents, Trump should easily get his second term in office.\nDo as I say, not as I do (1)\nThe Left love preaching civilized behaviour even while they behave in the most offensive manner possible. The election of Trump has seen them sink to the very depths of offensive words and behaviour. So what has Amnesty International got to say about that behavior? Crickets. They criticize Mr. Trump only.\nThere is no doubt that Mr Trump's policies have tended to make Muslims and Hispanics feel unwelcome but that is just a reflection of the fact that Muslims and Hispanics have made themselves unwelcome by their egregious behaviour. If Amnesty wants to seen as more than a Leftist propaganda mouthpiece they will have to start looking at both sides of the matter\nThe Left-leaning Amnesty International has accused President Trump and other \u201canti-establishment\u201d politicians of \u201cwield[ing] politics of demonization that hounds, scapegoats and dehumanizes entire groups of people to win the support of voters.\u201d\n\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s poisonous campaign rhetoric exemplifies a global trend towards angrier and more divisive politics,\u201d Amnesty International said in a new annual report covering 159 countries and territories.\n\u201cAcross the world, leaders and politicians wagered their future power on narratives of fear and disunity, pinning blame on the \u2018other\u2019 for the real or manufactured grievances of the electorate,\u201d it added.\nThe group offered a gloomy outlook on the state of the world.\n\u201cThe world in 2016 became a darker and more unstable place,\u201d Amnesty International secretary-general Salil Shetty wrote in the report\u2019s foreword. \u201cThe reality is that we begin 2017 in a deeply unstable world full of trepidation and uncertainty about the future.\u201d\nIn a statement, Shetty named Trump, Islamist Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the provocatively outspoken Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, and Hungary\u2019s right wing prime minister Viktor Orban as politicians who he said demonize and dehumanize entire groups.\n\u201c2016 was the year when the cynical use of \u2018us vs. them\u2019 narratives of blame, hate and fear took on a global prominence to a level not seen since the 1930s,\u201d he said. That was the decade the Nazi Party came to power in Germany, leading to World War II.\n\u201cToo many politicians are answering legitimate economic and security fears with a poisonous and divisive manipulation of identity politics in an attempt to win votes,\u201d added Shetty, an Indian activist who has headed the organization since 2010.\nAmnesty International USA executive director Margaret Huang also weighed in, saying that \u201cPresident Trump\u2019s policies have brought the U.S. to a level of human rights crisis that we haven\u2019t seen in years.\u201d\n\u201cAs the world braces itself for a new executive order, thousands of people inside and outside of U.S. borders have had their lives thrown into chaos as a result of the president\u2019s travel ban,\u201d she added.\nThe reference was to Trump\u2019s Jan. 27 executive order, which barred entry to the U.S. of all refugees for 120 days and refugees from Syria indefinitely; as well as to all citizens of seven countries carrying a high terrorism risk \u2013 Syria, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Libya and Yemen \u2013 for 90 days.\nAmid protests, federal courts issued temporary stays on enforcement of the order. The administration is preparing to issue what Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly described as a \u201cmore streamlined version.\u201d\nFurther to my comments above, see below a clipping from the Washington Post of Feb. 1st. It's from an editorial headed \"Breaking the unwritten rules of governing\" and criticizes Mr Trump's firing of Sally Yates -- an Obama relic heading the Justice Department -- when she refused to do her job. What was he supposed to say other than \"You're fired\"? Once again the Leftist rag is preaching the highest standards of civilized behavior -- oblivious that the Left themselves constantly do the opposite. They have the brass to say that we should not demonize political opponents. So \"Trump = Hitler\" and all the rest is wrong? It certainly is but the Post does not mention that.\nI have not made any attempt to do a search of their own articles but I note that in yesterday's issue they had an article written by an Obamabot which was headed \"The White House\u2019s thoughtless, cruel and sad rollback of transgender rights\". That's a pretty good effort at demonization -- particularly because Trump didn't roll back anything. He just reverted the matter to the States, who may or may not do something about it.\nEthics, morality, principles and decency are all alien to the left. They just haven't got it in them. Their only constancy is their hatred of others.\nHow different is the reaction to Trump?\nIt is tempting to see the huge rage against Trump currently emanating from the Left as the result of how radically Trump diverges from convention. He may be the most radical President America has ever had, given the number of customs, precedents and assumptions that he has steamed right past.\nBut the extent of the rage may in fact not be unique to him. I have an article here which gives a lot of quotes about the outpouring of rage and hate that flowed from the election of the very mild and compromising George W. Bush. ANYTHING that undermines their delusions seems to push Leftists into foaming rage.\nHate from the anti-hate brigade\nThe text below is from a British group calling itself \"Resisting hate\". They have clearly got a lot of their own hate to go around. They clearly hate Mr Trump (of course!) and various people in Europe.\nAnd they make not the slightest attempt to justify their hate-speech. They call Mr Trump a Fascist -- quite ignoring the fact that Fascists practice strong government control of people while Mr Trump is a vigorous de-regulator. They hate him so much that they call him by his opposite. A nasty lot\nIt's all rather amusing, actually. The Left are great users of Freudian projection -- seeing their own faults in others. And the screed below is a nice example of that\nThere is little need to recap the chaos of 2016. Certainly to anyone with a social media presence or who reads the newspapers the horrors have been all too evident. From an increase in worldwide terrorism to the shock Brexit referendum through the rise in Nationalism, evidenced by support for hate groups like Britain First and National Action, and culminating in the election of a fascist to the American presidency \u2013 2016 was not a good year for humanity.\nThe worry for many is that 2017 will bring more of the same. Trump takes up his seat in the White House in January, The Netherlands have a strong candidate for hate \u2013 Geert Wilders \u2013 in their March elections and the equally abhorrent Marine Le Pen, the fascist leader of Front National in France has promised a referendum on the French exit from the EU \u201cFrexit\u201d if she comes to power in April.\nThe article below says that global warming cools the temperature in the Pacific and that a cooler Pacific is likely to produce centuries of drought in California. It appeared just 4 months before the current floods: A very large predictive failure.\nBut it was a nutty article anyway. The Pacific is the world's largest body of water. Why should global warming cool it? How can something global leave out the Pacific or even a large part of the Pacific? The authors could have avoided the egg currently residing on their faces if they had questioned their finding that warming causes ocean cooling. Such an absurd finding should have led them to question whether or not something was wrong with their research methods. There clearly was.\nGlen M. MacDonald et al.\nCalifornia has experienced a dry 21st century capped by severe drought from 2012 through 2015 prompting questions about hydroclimatic sensitivity to anthropogenic climate change and implications for the future. We address these questions using a Holocene lake sediment record of hydrologic change from the Sierra Nevada Mountains coupled with marine sediment records from the Pacific. These data provide evidence of a persistent relationship between past climate warming, Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) shifts and centennial to millennial episodes of California aridity. The link is most evident during the thermal-maximum of the mid-Holocene (~8 to 3\u2009ka; ka = 1,000 calendar years before present) and during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) (~1\u2009ka to 0.7\u2009ka). In both cases, climate warming corresponded with cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific despite differences in the factors producing increased radiative forcing. The magnitude of prolonged eastern Pacific cooling was modest, similar to observed La Ni\u00f1a excursions of 1o to 2\u2009\u00b0C. Given differences with current radiative forcing it remains uncertain if the Pacific will react in a similar manner in the 21st century, but should it follow apparent past behavior more intense and prolonged aridity in California would result.\nAre there costs which outweigh the benefits of free trade?\nBelow is an argument from a prominent British libertarian -- Sean Gabb -- which argues for trade policies similar to those advocated by President Trump. It is in a sense Trumpian economics -- though it does not make one mention of Trump and uses British examples exclusively.\nGabb writes very simply but he does to a degree assume a knowledge of economics and its language. Trump has a degree in economics too. Nonetheless, a careful reading should make Gabb's arguments comprehensible. In any case, I think I should highlight a few points.\nFor many years now, economists have pointed out that free trade increases wealth. It does so by making everything cost less. Older Wal-Mart customers will be acutely aware of that. I remember when an electric fan cost around $100. Now they can be had for around $10 -- because they are now made in China.\nSo the assumption on both sides of politics has long been that we should free up trade as much as possible. And it took the Donald to question that. He hasn't shattered the consensus yet but his is a huge innovation in policy and a big sign of unconventional thinking. Trump as innovator! And now that Trump has challenged the consensus by talking of higher tariffs and other policies designed to increase the \"Made in USA\" label on goods sold in the USA, other people are beginning to say: \"Hey! Maybe he has got a point\". And Sean Gabb below makes a very erudite argument in favour of broadly Trumpian policies.\nSo an argument now being made by many is that price is not the only test of how good or wise a policy is. There may be benefits of making a good in the USA that justfies a higher price for that good. Money is not everything.\nThat is not an entirely new argument. Economists have always allowed some exceptions to the benefits of free trade, The infant industry argument and the defence industry argument are well known and there also the less known but equally cogent case known as the Australian case. And Gabb gives further examples of potential non-price benefits from home manufacture. I think he makes the best argument yet for that case, in fact.\nMuch more innovatively, he makes an argument that I have not seen before which downplays the price disadvantage from home manufacture. He points to what is the undoubtedly high cost of transporting goods. A farmer can get 10c for an apple he has grown which retails in the shops for $1.00. Why? There are several reasons but a major one is the cost of transporting it to your local supermarket. The transport industry can easily take a bite out of the $1.00 that you pay which is 2 or 3 times what the farmer gets. And there is no escaping that. Truck drivers are not usually highly paid unless they work very long hours and most of what could be done to make cheaper trucks has been done.\nGabb takes up that situation and notes something that is seldom mentioned but which is quite extraordinary when you think about it. He says that transport costs are heavily subsidized by governments. Almost all of the costs of freeways, railroads, local roads and defence against piracy at sea are borne by taxpayers, not the users of those facilities. Trucking firms do pay road use levies of various sorts but such levies are tiny compared with the huge cost of building just one mile of freeway, for instance. So from that, Gabb argues that the high costs of transprt would be even higher without the extensive government provision of almost \"free\" transport infrastrucure.\nSo in an ideal world where everybody paid for what they used, high transport costs would encourage goods to be made at home. A thing might be made cheaper in China but the costs of getting it to you might make its total final cost dearer. It is an innovative and clever argument and there is undoubtedly some truth in it -- but I don't fully buy it. I am not in a position to do the numbers but I doubt that transport costs could account for the recent reduction in costs of electric fans (for instance). Most of the transport of goods from China is seaborne and that is very cheap per cubic meter on today's huge container ships. And containerization makes most of the remaining trip (on land) pretty cheap too.\nBut there is clearly SOME \"unfair\" advantage given to remote manufacturers by subsidized transport, so the remaining question is how do we account for or allow for that advantage given to those manufacturers? It would take some sophisticated econometrics to find out but there is clearly no likelihood that national trade policy will be set by econometricians. We may simply have to hope that whatever tariff Mr Trump and Congress decide on will not be too far wide of that mark.\nFrom all the considerations given below, however, it is clear that Mr Trump's tariff proposals have substantial intellectual support. They are in no way the sheer ignorance that Leftists claim\nBriefly stated, the claim is that, since about 1970, shifts in comparative advantage [under freeish trade] have brought about a swift and fundamental deindustrialisation of Britain; and that this has impoverished millions of working class people.\nThere is the separate claim that the globalisation of which free trade has been made a part has subjected us to a New World Order that is openly working for our destruction as a free people, or as any people at all. However, since I and many other libertarians accept this claim in full, there is no point in discussing it. I will only add that free trade has existed without a supranational government, and that opposition to the latter has no bearing on the desirability of the former. Free trade is the uncontrolled movement of goods and services across borders. It does not need treaties to harmonise the sale of Vitamin C, or armies of bureaucrats to enforce the treaties. I will move, then, to the primary claim, which is mostly in dispute \u2013 though for which there is an arguable case.\nUntil the 1970s, almost every manufactured good sold in this country was made in this country. In terms of price and quality, these goods were often inferior to those made abroad, and had a market only because of the trade barriers that had grown up since the 1930s. On the other hand, British manufacturing firms gave jobs, directly or indirectly, to millions. These jobs were reasonably well-paid and reasonably secure. They gave those holding them the confidence to speak their minds, and to combine in defence of their collective interests as they perceived them. No doubt, these perceived collective interests were often false, and often defended with an absence of forethought. If there was also bad management, strikes and restrictive practices had their part in the ruin of British manufacturing. But I am old enough to remember when doctors and architects did not earn incomparably more than working class people, and when it was common to believe that we were all part of one nation.\nFreer trade since the late 1970s has given us manufactured goods about as good and cheap as they can presently be. Most of these are made abroad. If the extent of British deindustrialisation can be overstated \u2013 we remain one of the main manufacturing countries; and some of our manufacturing exports have no competition \u2013 mass-employment in manufacturing is a thing of the past. Unless they have the skills to make it as sole traders, working class people nowadays have three options. In the private sector, they can take jobs in which the main qualities required seem to be obedience and a pretence of enthusiasm for employers whose own sense of obligation is limited to the contractual. They can become petty functionaries in state and quasi-state bureaucracies that should not exist. They can sink into an underclass that is kept alive by a combination of welfare handouts and crime.\nThe progress of the past forty years has been so great, that everyone benefits to some extent. Holidays in the sun can be had for the price of a thousand cigarettes, as can 50 inch television sets. Property, though, is increasingly difficult to buy; and rents can take up half the average income after tax. Working class people are insecure in their jobs. They are usually in debt. They are easily tyrannised over. They know they cannot speak freely on a range of subjects they think important. Unless on welfare, they have fewer children than their grandparents had. They are credulous. They are superstitious. They are feared by those above them, but easily managed, and therefore despised.\nThe main beneficiaries of what has happened since the 1970s are those in the professions or the senior reaches of an expanded financial sector. Our incomes have risen most impressively. And far above us floats the new elite of the super rich. Men like Richard Branson and the Mittal Brothers and the hedge fund managers, and the Russian billionaires who have settled here, have been raised up by the growing importance of London as a financial centre. Whether or not they share our nationality, they live among us, but are in no sense with us. The policies they are able to buy from our rulers will have only an accidental congruence with our interests. They find Britain convenient as a trading platform and shopping centre. Unlike the rest of us, who may have little else, these rich have no country.\nIn part, these changes are an effect of mass-immigration. You need to be a ruling class intellectual to deny the laws of demand and supply in labour markets. But the main cause has been a shift in the pattern of comparative advantage. Even without the twenty or thirty million immigrants of the past half century, mass-employment in manufacturing would have declined. Without the newcomers, the fall in working class living standards would have been greatly moderated. But there would still be no cotton mills in Lancashire, and no computer factories to take their place. The centre of London would still be packed with rich aliens of every nationality, including our own. Free trade necessarily expands output. It does not necessarily produce benefits that are equally shared.\nThe depression of our working classes is a legitimate concern. These are our people. Any libertarian who rolls his eyes at the phrase \u201cour people\u201d is a fool. Any who starts parroting the self-righteous cant of our rulers is a villain. All else aside, free institutions are unworkable in a society where large numbers of people are going visibly down the toilet. Does this mean that free trade is no longer in our national interest? Does it mean that, if still undeniable as an abstract proposition, the Law of Comparative Advantage no longer applies in the interests of our nation as a whole?\nThe answer to the question may be yes. If so, I as a libertarian must choose to stand up as a wooden ideologue or as a man of sense. I have always tried to be the latter. I believe in a world where everyone has the right to do with himself and his own as he pleases \u2013 a right bounded only by the equal right of everyone else to do the same. I look forward to a world without governments, and therefore without national borders and border controls. This does not mean, however, that I believe in the immediate and unordered throwing off of the present restraints. I see no value in arguing for specific freedoms, the exercise of which would undermine the existence of liberty in general. A sensible libertarian should argue for the present enjoyment only of those liberties that can be sustained.\nI give the example of a restraint that I have already gone out of my way to support. There are good reasons for letting people settle anywhere on this planet where they can, by free bargaining, find jobs and accommodation. And there are better reasons why most people should not be allowed to settle in Britain. To be blunt, I accept the need for strict immigration control, and for even stricter controls on citizenship and its resulting membership of the political nation. I am not impressed by any of the apologetics by which some libertarians claim that this acceptance is other than it is. It is a clear breach of the non-aggression principle, and should be seen as such. But not to breach it in this case strikes me as lunacy. Unlimited immigration would lead to the erasure of one of the few nations and political orders in which the non-aggression principle has been even partially accepted.\nThis being so, free trade cannot be immune from reconsideration. It suited us very well in the nineteenth century. We emerged as the first industrial nation in a world where we controlled the seas and much territory outside Europe. Despite claims that it did not, it continued to suit us down to the Great War; and it would have continued to suit us right into the 1980s. But times may now have altered. If they have, we must consider some form of protection. I repeat that I am not rejecting the Law of Comparative Advantage. Protection always involves costs. Even assuming better management and less obstructive trade unions, prices of manufactured good would be higher \u2013 sometimes much higher. The compensation must be higher median living standards in both the material and the immaterial sense.\nNevertheless, before throwing up the case for free trade, there are three further considerations to discuss. The first is a harder look at the costs of protection. For as long as I have known him, Robert Henderson has been arguing for a \u201cjudicious\u201d home preference. The assumption behind this is a belief that trade policy can easily be set in the national interest. But politics is at best a dirty business. Politicians and officials are always for sale; and the acceptance of trade protection would bring a cataract of bribes from every manufacturing company with money to spend. Robert believes that protection should cover things like steel and aeroplanes and electronics \u2013 things in which we have no present comparative advantage, but which are otherwise suited to our national abilities. The reality might be the equivalent of growing grapes in Scotland. Protection might give us a trade policy not in any national interest, but in the interest of a cartel of skilled bribe-givers and experts in public relations. We may differ in regarding Imperial Germany with admiration or distaste. But the men who built up those great cartels in steel and machinery and chemicals before 1914 were broadly pro-German. In present circumstances, and for the foreseeable future, protection would add to the number of the powerful and unaccountable interest groups that are busily enslaving us.\nNor in a protected economy need there be the same incentives as under free trade to innovation and product development and the control of costs. Whatever we think of their industrial achievement, the Germans did lose the Great War; and they lost in part because their industry was less responsive and less innovative than our own. Or, for the main current example of what can happen under protection, there is India before the liberalisations of the 1990s. There is also our own example. British manufacturing suffered from the opening of trade in the late 1970s compelled by the EEC and the GATT treaties. One of the reasons it was so damaged was that it had enjoyed nearly half a century of protection in its home markets, and this had enabled the growth of bad management and bad union practices. Before it could be nearly destroyed, British manufacturing was already nearly ruined. Can we really be sure that the same would not happen again? Do we want to go to all the trouble of uncoupling ourselves from a system that brings some benefits to some people, and end up with a repeat of the British Leyland fiasco?\nThe second consideration is that comparative advantage is not something beyond our control. It is not like the climate, which heats and cools in time with changes inside the Sun, or with variations in our orbit about it. I have mentioned the unions and the quality of management. Luckier in both, the Germans have kept more of their manufacturing despite broad similarities of trading environment. Traditionalists and libertarians usually agree that business in this country is both over-taxed and over-regulated. Well, the health and safety laws alone may have cost us half a million jobs. Our environmental laws and energy policy may have done the same. When it was introduced in the 1960s, capital gains tax is said to have ended most non-institutional investment \u2013 that is, much investment into small manufacturing. The overall burden of tax, plus inflation, has diverted most saving and investment into the City casino banks.\nLooking at opposite tendencies, comparatively free prospecting for oil and gas in the United States has brought down energy prices there; and this is bringing back manufacturing industry previously lost to China. If we were to cut taxes and regulations at least to American levels, we might have more factories and jobs in the north of England. We could do this without losing the benefits of free trade. It might mean breaking a few treaties, but would not require a siege economy.\nThe third consideration follows from the second, but takes a more radical path. I have argued so far on the assumption that the economic structure of this country as it emerged a couple of centuries ago is worth defending or restoring. I do not share the view taken by many traditionalists that this structure was an abusive breach with immemorial and better ways of life. The enclosures had already worked a destructive revolution in the countryside. Most people there, by about 1815, had been reduced to a rural proletariat. Industrial society, as it emerged during the nineteenth century, enabled a quadrupling of population by 1914 with a strong upward movement in living standards. But, though better than most of the alternatives, I do not think our country, as it came into the twentieth century, was living in the best of possible worlds. I believe that we, and every other country that has followed our path, took a wrong approach to the Industrial Revolution.\nIn every industrial country, there has been a tendency for large organisations to outcompete smaller on price, and for goods to emerge at competitive prices from supply chains that may begin on the far side of the world. For example, I live in Kent, which is one of the main apple growing areas in England. My local Sainsbury sells apples from China for less than the local farm shops can sell their own apples. Is this a triumph of free market capitalism, for libertarians to celebrate and traditionalists to deplore? Or is it the outcome of a thoroughly interventionist order, from which the big and the distant gain illegitimate advantages over the small and local?\nI think the latter is the case. There are still many libertarians \u2013 and these determine how the movement as a whole is seen \u2013 for whom utopia is Tesco minus the State. They believe that doing away with taxes and regulations and privilege for the well-connected would bring into being a world recognisably similar to our own. It would be richer and more peaceful and more just. But it would have much the same structures of centralised production and widespread distribution, and of wage labour. There are other libertarians \u2013 Kevin Carson, for example \u2013 who take a fundamentally different view of what might emerge in the absence of distortions by the State. And, for all they denounce traditionalism, and see themselves as on the \u201cleft,\u201d they are elaborating a version of libertarianism that few traditionalists might see as hostile to their own concerns.\nDuring the past few hundred years, the British State, among others, has been subsidising road and rail and, more recently, air transport. These subsidies take the form of direct building, or of financial underwriting or other assistance, or of compulsory purchase and incorporation laws that externalise many of the private costs of construction and use and maintenance. Without subsidy, roads and railways would still have been built. But there would have been fewer of them, and full-cost charging for use would have directed a higher proportion of investment into local networks.\nThe subsidised infrastructure that we have is biased towards transport over long distances. It raises the maximum scale of production. Internal economies of scale in a factory are worthless if distribution costs make the price of output uncompetitive in all but very local markets. Centralised production for a national market may be worthwhile in a country where distribution costs must be reflected in price. It will be far more worthwhile in a country where distribution costs are partly met by the taxpayers.\nWhat is true of national distribution networks is also true at the level of international trade. British and then American control of the seas has made shipping safe from piracy. British and American control of the Middle East has externalised many of the costs of oil drilling and movement. British and American armed interventions stabilised less powerful countries for the sale of our industrial output, and then for the development of manufacturing industry in places where the local ruling classes could be bribed and assisted into making labour both cheap and docile.\nThese facts go far to explaining why Chinese apples undercut Kentish apples in Kent, and why it is worth concentrating the manufacture of virtually all electronic goods in a few coastal regions of China, and why most of the clothes we buy are put together in Turkish and Bangladeshi sweatshops. It goes far to explaining why, when I drive home every summer from the family trip to Slovakia, I share fabulously expensive motorways with lorries that pay a pittance per mile, and burn diesel at prices \u2013 even allowing for taxes \u2013 far below the real cost of extraction and transport, and that are carrying goods to places like Manchester and Leeds where once whole armies were employed in their manufacture.\nIn short, the manufacturing side of the globalisation that traditionalists denounce proceeds from a pattern of comparative advantage that makes sense only on the basis of systematic externalisations of cost. This is not a natural order. It is not free market capitalism. It is instead a global mercantilism in which a cartel of ruling classes has decided that certain regions should specialise in certain activities. If notebook computers are not made in Basingstoke, it may be less because firms in Canton are better at making them than because their final prices all over the world do not take fully into account their costs of manufacture and distribution.\nIt may be that these interventions lead to positive externalities that outweigh the externalised costs. But this is to put a faith in the wisdom of politicians and bureaucrats that is not supported by our everyday experience. More likely, costs are not merely shifted from those incurring them, but also magnified before they are dispersed, if in ways that none of us can fully understand.\nLet us try to imagine the shape of a world in which these interventions had not begun. It might now be a place of largely independent communities, with much production of food and energy and manufactured goods close to market. There would have been an industrial revolution. But it would have taken a different path. There would be advanced technology. But it would be different in its objects. There would be some centralised production, but only where its full distribution costs were reflected in price. There would be some international specialisation and trade on the basis of comparative advantage. But this would not be so omnipresent, nor so able to produce vast and sudden dislocations. There would be neither corrupt, free-floating elites nor an alienated proletariat. But there would be much freedom and much regard for tradition.\nIn the world as it is, the British working classes have been smashed not by free trade, but by systematic state interventions so longstanding that we are liable to take them as inevitable. The answer is not to call for the State to make up sliding scale tariffs or to set quotas on South Korean washing machines. Rather, it is for the initial interventions to be swept away. Two centuries of the world as it is cannot be undone at once. But we can hope that a root and branch attack on the enabler of that world will allow something more natural to take its place.\nI have said that there are differences between libertarians and traditionalists over what constitutes the substance of the good society. Rightly considered, I increasingly wonder where the real differences need to be about the form of that society, and over how to get there.\nAustralia's new political divide: 'globalists' versus 'patriots'\nThere is often talk that the old Left/Right divide is inadequate. Eysenck made a big deal of that in his 1954 book. And libertarians too think a two dimensional description is needed. A fairly typical example is below:\nSo the claims below are not very new.\nI paid considerable attention to the matter in my research career, as you will see here but my conclusion was that a second dimension of attitudes did not emerge from the survey results. Only the old Left/Right division could be found.\nAn important qualification to that is that OBLIQUE factors could be found. In other words, the Left/Right domain was not totally homogeneous. For example, there is a dimension of economic conservatism plus a dimension of moral conservatism. Statements within those two domains correlate highly with one another but the correlation between moral conservatism overall and economic conservatism overall was weak: Weak but not non-existent.\nIn other words, economic conservatives also tended -- somewhat -- to be conservative on moral issues. And those two dimensions are the chief sub-dimensions of the Left/Right continuum. They emerge repeatedly in survey research. Despite some wrangling, Economic and moral conservatives do find common cause in everyday politics. They have enough in common to co-operate with one-another.\nSo what are we to make of the findings below? Clearly, they have identified two distinct factors. But how oblique are those factors? We are not told. I am almost certain that the two factors will in fact be very oblique, very highly correlated. Patriotism is normally a strong component of conservatism and internationalism is normally a Leftist ideal. Leftists continue to salute the United Nations despite the gross corruption in that body.\nSo all that I think the authors below have done is rediscover the old Left/Right divide. They have identified a group of statements that conservatives strongly agree with -- patriotic statements -- and a group of statements that get strong support from Leftists -- globalism. Two particular subsets of Left/Right attitudes have come under sharper focus and gained greater importance recently\nOpenness. That is the word Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe chose to emphasise at his first public outing this year.\nIn Australia there is an \"openness and transparency\" not always found elsewhere, he told a high-powered business gathering at the Opera House on Thursday night.\nAnd openness to trade and investment has been fundamental to the nation's prosperity. Australia is \"committed to an open international order,\" Lowe said.\nThose sentiments might have seemed routine a few years back. But in the wake of Brexit and the election of Donald Trump \"openness\" to the world economy \u2013 often referred to as globalisation \u2013 is now a hotly contested political issue.\nA little over a year ago Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's far-right Front National party and a presidential contender, cast political battlelines as being no longer \"between the left and the right but the globalists and the patriots\". The globalists, she sneered, are for the dissolution of France into a \"global magma\".\nGreg Ip, a Wall Street Journal economics commentator, wrote last month that Le Pen's remarks foreshadowed \"the tectonic forces that would shake up the world in 2016\".\nOpposition to globalisation \u2013 the increasing movement of goods, money and people across international borders \u2013 was a key theme of Trump campaign to become president of the US. From now on it is going to be \"America First\", he says repeatedly.\nIn Australia, Pauline Hanson has globalisation in her sights. In her maiden speech to the Senate in September she accused national leaders of giving away our sovereignty, our rights, our jobs and even our democracy. \"Their push for globalisation, economic rationalism, free trade and ethnic diversity has seen our country's decline,\" she said.\nIn pitting globalists against patriots Le Pen neatly summed up a new and unpredictable political fissure that cuts across old divisions between left and right.\nIp predicts the tussle between globalism and nationalism \"will shape the coming era much as the struggle between conservatives and liberals has shaped the last\".\nThis political split has emerged during a period of rapid global economic integration. In the two decades before the onset of the global financial crisis in 2007 international trade in goods and services grew by 7 per cent a year on average \u2013 a much faster rate than global GDP.\nThis has been a period of great prosperity for Australia, which has not experienced a recession for a quarter of a century. But there has also been a marked shift in the structure of the economy. Since the mid-1990s manufacturing's share of Australia's economic output has fallen from 14 per cent to about 7 per cent.\nMeanwhile, the importance of knowledge-intensive service industries such as finance and professional services has grown significantly. Similar trends have been at work in other advanced economies.\nThe flow of migrants to Australia \u2013 another factor many associate with globalisation \u2013 has also been strong. The proportion of Australians born overseas reached 28 per cent in 2014-15, the highest proportion in more than 120 years.\nThere are now signs the tussle Ip describes between globalist and nationalist sentiment has become an important political fault line in Australia.\nPolling for the Political Personas Project commissioned by Fairfax Media and conducted by the Australian National University and Netherlands-based political research enterprise Kieskompas, shows public opinion is divided over the merits of trade liberalisation, one of globalisation's fundamentals.\nThe statement \"free trade with other countries has made Australia better off\" could not muster support from the majority of the 2600 voters surveyed \u2013 44.7 per cent agreed (but only 7.1 per cent strongly), 27.5 per cent disagreed and 27.8 per cent were neutral.\nThere is a similar split when voters are asked to assess the impact of globalisation.\nA separate Ipsos survey released in December found 48 per cent of Australians considered globalisation a \"force for good\" while 22 per cent said it was a \"force for bad\", with 29 per cent undecided.\nCarol Johnson, professor of politics and international studies at the University of Adelaide, said many voters have, over time, become more aware of globalisation's drawbacks.\n\"Twenty years ago, the electorate seemed prepared to believe that while there were some risks to opening up the economy, there would also be benefits,\" she said. \"Part of what happened is that people are now more aware that many of our competitor countries, including Asian countries, are more than capable of developing these [high-tech and service] industries themselves.\n\"The assumption that Western countries will always be superior has started to come undone and voters are becoming worried that government hasn't got right the mix of balancing the benefits and downsides of globalisation.\"\nPolling for the Political Personas Project found more than eight in 10 voters believe \"we rely too heavily on foreign imports and should manufacture more in Australia\". This statement received more support than any other proposition in the survey, which covered dozens of hot-button political issues.\nJill Sheppard, a researcher from the ANU's Centre for Social Research and Method who was involved in the project, said public concern about the decline of manufacturing was linked to perceptions of globalisation.\n\"Globalisation seems to manifest in people's minds as manufacturing and jobs going offshore. They think about cheap labour in Asian countries, which seem like a direct threat to us.\"\nMore on the Bates revelations about the NOAA paper by Tom Karl\nThe writer below says that the Bates revelations have one and one only important implication: That unvalidated data was used. In my career as a psychometrician, I too often railed against the unvalidated data often used by my fellow social scientists. So I agree that use of unvalidated data means that the conclusions of that particular study cannot be accepted.\nI don't think the problem ends there, however. I think it unlikely that the data used CAN be validated. The revelation about the best measurements of sea surface temperature not being used do, I think, have that implication. They imply that the data body used was constructed to defraud\nIt is sometimes said science is all about data\u2026 observation, measurement, experiment, measurement\u2026 But that is NOT the whole story. To ensure data is reliable and understood, we\u2019ve developed standard units of measure, and document procedures used to obtain and record measurements. The intention is to make sure BOTH the data AND collection methods can be reliably understood and used by others. The fleshed out version of this is the scientific method, and is integral to, and indispensable in the advance of science. It works because it helps eliminate bias and protect the integrity of both data and process. Any departure from rigorous adherence to these principles may or may not adversely affect data. But it increases the risk, and introduces doubt as to the overall integrity. And any subsequent reliance on this data must not assert confidence levels beyond the weakest preceding link. For example, it would be inaccurate or dishonest to claim 100% certainty on results that can only be replicated 50% of the time.\nSo let\u2019s wind forward\u2026\nThere has been much suck-and-blow blather in the aftermath of the David Rose column on the whistleblower allegations by former NOAA scientist John Bates. I won\u2019t rehash the article, other than to say Rose does seem eager to sensationalize speculative results rather than the details, but that in no way negates the seriousness of the allegations stated. What I want to discuss is the allegations and impacts. Rose is not the story. Bates is not the story. The story is the circumvention of procedures put in place to protect the integrity of the data, and hence the reputation of the NOAA. From John Bates:\nPredictably, both the \u201cconsensus\u201d and skeptic camps largely missed the mark in jumping to defend or attack positions. There were a flurry of hastily written newspaper and blog reports on \u201cbad data\u201c, \u201cdata manipulation\u201c, and \u201cdata tampering\u201c. Bates\u2019 report didn\u2019t say data was deliberately compromised (he mentioned a \u201cthumb on the scale\u201d which he later seemed to walk back), but that the presentation may have been biased, and adherence to protocol was haphazard. These of course are different things. This opened the door for the usual suspects from the other side to rush out reports showing the NOAA data was largely in agreement with other datasets, directing the discussion away from the presentation and protocol questions to \u201cThe data checks out. See? No problem.\u201d This was cleverly, cynically, and all too accurately highlighted by Gavin Schmidt:\nLet there be NO mistake: Regardless of the best efforts of Schmidt and friends to paint this as just deniers denying, if NOAA followed THEIR OWN established protocols, there would be no story.\nNow the hordes of hyperactive and secure-in-their-ignorance columnists, tweeters and bloggers from the periphery join in with escalations of character attacks, dishonest misdirections, and deliberately uncharitable interpretations of innocuous statements. The Guardian chipped in with a nastily biased bit:\nReferring back to the Science Insider piece\u2026\nJust one little problem: They provide no evidence that Bates said anything about being wary of skeptics. He said \u201cpeople\u201d. And as both skeptic and consensus camps have seemingly derailed in their rush to the wrong conclusion, it could easily mean either, or more likely both.\nI could go on at length about the ridiculous obfuscation and mean spirited BS thrown about during any attempted discussion of the allegations (most of which have not been denied, but rather downplayed) but I\u2019ll save that for a separate post. That\u2019s just another distraction from the real issue at hand.\nNo, the issues are as Bates outlined: \u201cEthical standards must be maintained\u201d. There can be no confidence in data without confidence in the procedures surrounding collection and storage of data. And persons or organizations that place no value in these procedures further erode confidence. This happens repeatedly:\npublicly funded trustee of information gets \u201csloppy\u201d\nconcern is expressed\nthose at fault are defended\nthe \u2018concerned\u2019 are attacked\nconversation derails\nnothing is fixed\nThis is damaging to public confidence in climate science in particular, and government programs in general. And rightfully so. There are many billions in public funds that need to be allocated to the best possible effect. At a minimum, these continued scandals damage public willingness to invest resources required. And potentially more damaging, errors lead to resources that could have been better spent (poverty, etc) being wasted to no benefit.\nPerhaps in this case no data was harmed. I hope not. But if we don\u2019t take these matters seriously eventually there will be damages. And not just to a database.\nWhat the elite mean by Fascism\nBrendy is pretty right about current usage below but his definition of historical Fascism is weak. As a retired Marxist, he relies largely on Trotsky for a definition of it. And that definition is conventional rather than history-based. The classic Marxist lie is that Fascism/Nazism was middle class. Yet the most fanatical Nazis -- the \"Sturmabteilung\" -- were overwhelmingly working class. And Hitler's origins as a hobo are also not middle class.\nThe defining characteristics of Fascism are socialist rhetoric and extensive government control of industry. And those things are true of most developed nations to this day. Control of industry these days is done by laws and regulations rather than by having a party representative on-site at major business establishments but the result is very similar. There is great government control in both cases. So does Fascism still exist in the world today?\nIt does to a considerable degree. The overt hostility to other countries is gone but that is about it. Historical Fascists had great national pride and tried to take over territory from other nations -- but America's many wars abroad are not so different. The propaganda is better but there has been an obvious intention to reform other nations along American lines. America has tried to Americanize the world.\nAnd it may be noted that most of America's wars have been entered into by people who also espouse socialistic rhetoric. Socialistic rhetoric was joined with war by Hitler and the same is largely true of the USA. Democrat President Woodrow Wilson got America into WWI. FDR got it into WW2. Kennedy got it into Vietnam. Only the Iraq intervention was the work of a Republican and that was in response to a direct attack on the U.S. homeland -- so was essentially a defensive war.\nAnd, as with past Fascist military adventures, American interventions abroad have had very poor success. The last clear success was in Korea and even that succeeded only in the South.\nBut in a sense America's military efforts are incidental to American dominance. American mass culture has conquered the world. Guns and bullets are a crude instrument of influence compared to that.\nSo I do think that real Fascism is not only alive and well but is the dominant form of government today.\nHaving divorced politics from popular opinion as a way of keeping in check the presumed fascist tendencies of the masses, it is not surprising that the political class views the public\u2019s recent attempts at \u2018taking back control\u2019, at joining back together opinion and democracy, as a return of fascism. Their great fear is that the lid they put on the masses\u2019 latent fascism, their distancing of the political machinery from public prejudices, has been lifted. They are screaming \u2018fascism\u2019 because they see fascism in us, in ordinary people. Thus the accusation of fascism expresses a profound hostility towards democracy itself, and to the demos. It is pure elitism to see fascism in the new politics. Which is why the most elite sections of society \u2014\u200aarchbishops, princes, heads of global institutions \u2014\u200aare often to the fore in the fascism frenzy.\nAnd of course, what they describe as \u2018fascism\u2019\u200a\u2014\u200aBrexit, people worried about immigration, Trump \u2014\u200ais nothing of the sort. These things don\u2019t even come close to fascism. As Weismann argued, even \u2018dictatorship, mass neurosis, anti-Semitism, the power of unscrupulous propaganda, the hypnotic effect of a mad-genius orator on the masses, and so on\u2019 do not necessarily constitute fascism. Fascism, he said, was something different to all that, something more than all that. Fascism, in essence, is a mass, paramilitary movement that acts as a stand-in for normal politics and normal statehood when that politics and statehood cannot deal with a threat it faces, primarily the threat of revolution or of organised, agitating labour. As Trotsky put it, fascism occurs when the \u2018police and military resources\u2019 of a society, and its parliamentary process, \u2018no longer suffice to hold society in a state of equilibrium\u2019. In such circumstances, as happened most notably in Italy and Germany, the rulers of society give way to, or rather push to the front, a mass violent movement fashioned to crush the threatening force. Fascism, basically, is when a society in crisis green-lights civil war as a means of stabilising itself in the longer term.\nThis fascist movement is made up from the \u2018crazed petty bourgeoisie and the bands of declassed and demoralised lumpenproletariat\u2019, in Trotsky\u2019s colourful, cutting phrase. Brought to \u2018desperation and frenzy\u2019, this mass, paramilitarised section of society sets about \u2018annihilating\u2019 workers\u2019 movements and of course executing anti-Semitic savagery. The consequence is that \u2018a system of administration is created which penetrates deeply into the masses and which serves to frustrate the independent crystallisation of the proletariat\u2019\u200a\u2014\u200a\u2018therein precisely is the gist of fascism\u2019, said Trotsky. This is why those who say \u2018the Nazis were left-wing, you know\u2019 are wholly wrong. Fascism fundamentally represents the violent marshalling of a certain strata of society to the end of crushing the left and the working class. Yes, the Nazis in particular used socialist terms, even calling themselves the National Socialist German Workers\u2019 Party. But as Trotsky says, that was merely the means through which a mass movement could be built. Fascism\u2019s leaders \u2018employ a great deal of socialist demagogy\u2019, he said, for this is \u2018necessary to the creation of the mass movement\u2019.\nNothing even remotely like this exists today. None of the conditions or groups that make fascism, and which make it distinct from hatred and demagoguery and even from dictatorship, exist in Europe or the US in 2017. There is no powerful workers\u2019 movement posing such a threat to the stability of capitalism that it needs to be destroyed. No \u2018crazed\u2019 petty bourgeoisie is being armed and goaded into civil or class war as a means of \u2018annihilating\u2019 vast numbers of their fellow citizens. People\u200a\u2014\u200awell, ordinary people \u2014\u200ahave not been whipped into a frenzy. Indeed, it is the patience of Brexit and Trump voters in the face of incessant defamation by the media and political set that is most striking.\nIt is a fantasy to claim fascism has made a comeback. And it\u2019s a revealing fantasy. When the political and media elites speak of fascism today, what they\u2019re really expressing is fear. Fear of the primal, unpredictable mass of society. Fear of unchecked popular opinion. Fear of what they view as the authoritarian impulses of those outside their social, bureaucratic sphere. Fear of the latent fascism, as they see it, of the ordinary inhabitants of Nazi-darkened Europe or of Middle America, who apparently lack the moral and intellectual resources to resist demagoguery. As one columnist put it, today\u2019s \u2018fascistic style\u2019 of politics is a creation not so much of wicked leaders, as of the dangerous masses. \u2018Compulsive liars shouldn\u2019t frighten you\u2019, he says. \u2018Compulsive believers, on the other hand: they should terrify you.\u2019 In short, not leaders but the led; not the state but the people. This, precisely, is who terrifies them. This, precisely, is what they mean when they say \u2018fascism\u2019. They mean you, me, ordinary people; people who have dared to say that they want to influence politics again after years of being frozen out. When they say fascism, they mean democracy.\nSea ice around Antarctica hits record low as NASA captures the moment massive iceberg the size of Manhattan breaks away from giant glacier\nOnce again a single event is being hailed as proof of global warming. But you cannot logically do that. A global theory requires global evidence. You can have warming in one place while it is cooling elsewhere -- for no net effect. And it IS cooling elsewhere. I repeat once again the graph showing ice GROWTH in Greenland. The authors below slide around the Greenland data by saying: \"At the other end of the planet, ice covering the Arctic Ocean has set repeated lows in recent years.\" It sure has -- in recent years but not this year. Greenies sure can be slippery.\nAnd breaking ice shelves of course do not raise the water level by one iota. They are FLOATING ice. Check your Archimedes.\nAlso note that West Antarctica is normally more prone to melting than the rest of Antarctica -- probably due to greater subsurface vulcanism\nSea ice around Antarctica has shrunk to the smallest annual extent on record after years of resisting a trend of man-made global warming, preliminary U.S. satellite data has revealed.\nIce floating around the frozen continent usually melts to its smallest for the year around the end of February, the southern hemisphere summer, before expanding again as the autumn chill sets in.\nThis year, sea ice extent contracted to 2.287 million square kilometres (883,015 square miles) on Feb. 13, according to daily data from the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).\nThat extent is a fraction smaller than a previous low of 2.290 million sq kms (884,173 square miles) recorded on Feb. 27, 1997, in satellite records dating back to 1979.\nIt comes as NASA revealed stunning images of a huge area of ice breaking off from the Pine Island Glacier.\nPine Island Glacier is one of the main glaciers responsible for moving ice from the interior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to the ocean.\nThe Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 captured these images of Pine Island Glacier's floating edge before and after the recent break.\nThe top image shows the area on January 24, 2017, while the second image shows the same area on January 26.\nAbout a kilometer or two of ice appears to have calved (broken off) from the shelf's front.\nMark Serreze, director of the NSIDC, said he would wait for a few days' more measurements to confirm the record low.\n'But unless something funny happens, we're looking at a record minimum in Antarctica. Some people say it's already happened,' he told Reuters.\n'We tend to be conservative by looking at five-day running averages.'\nIn many recent years, the average extent of sea ice around Antarctica has tended to expand despite the overall trend of global warming, blamed on a build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels.\nPeople sceptical of mainstream findings by climate scientists have often pointed to Antarctic sea ice as evidence against global warming. Some climate scientists have linked the paradoxical expansion to shifts in winds and ocean currents.\n'We've always thought of the Antarctic as the sleeping elephant starting to stir. Well, maybe it's starting to stir now,' Serreze said.\nWorld average temperatures climbed to a record high in 2016 for the third year in a row. Climate scientists say warming is causing more extreme days of heat, downpours and is nudging up global sea levels.\nAt the other end of the planet, ice covering the Arctic Ocean has set repeated lows in recent years.\nCombined, the extent of sea ice at both ends of the planet is about 2 million sq kms (772,200 square miles) less than the 1981-2010 averages for mid-February, roughly the size of Mexico or Saudi Arabia.\nThe shocking new NASA images show the reality of the problem, as Pine Island Glacier has shed another block of ice into Antarctic waters.\nThe loss was tiny compared to the icebergs that broke off in 2014 and 2015, but the event is further evidence of the ice shelf's fragility.\nWhat fun! John Cook rides again!\nHe is the author of the famous 97% claim and a most energetic defender of Warmism. And he certainly is a crook Cook. He makes a great pretence of science by reporting known facts but ignoring or leaving some things out. He then pretends that he has proven global warming.\nBut his latest is a superb example of psychological projection. He takes some well-known examples of psychological defence mechanisms and purports to find examples of them among climate skeptics. But exactly those same mechanisms are common among Warmists. An excerpt:\nI\u2019m a cognitive psychologist interested in better understanding and countering the techniques used to distort the science of climate change. I\u2019ve found that understanding why some people reject climate science offers insight into how they deny science. By better understanding the techniques employed, you can counter misinformation more effectively.\nEvery movement that has rejected a scientific consensus, whether it be on evolution, climate change or the link between smoking and cancer, exhibits the same five characteristics of science denial (concisely summarized by the acronym FLICC). These are fake experts, logical fallacies, impossible expectations, cherry picking and conspiracy theories. When someone wants to cast doubt on a scientific finding, FLICC is an integral part of the misinformation toolbox.\nHe points to no specific examples of each fallacy among skeptics so, very briefly, let me point out how those fallacies apply to Warmists:\n* Fake experts: Al Gore\n* Logical fallacies: Some extreme weather events imply a general increase in extreme weather events\n* Impossible expectations: No change is too small to be worth noticing. Even temperature changes in the hundredths of one degree mean something. No change is small enough to prove temperature stasis\n* Cherry picking: Looking at only a short run of temperature records. The Central England Temperature record goes back to 1659 and shows no trend\n* Conspiracy theories: Big oil is behind climate skepticism\nPerhaps most amazing in Cook's latest screed is the way he refers to his own 97% paper. He accurately describes it as showing that:\n\"Among the papers stating a position, 97 percent agreed that humans are causing global warming\"\nHe completely skates over the fact that two thirds of the papers he examined took no position on global warming. So only ONE THIRD of all scientists, and not 97%, agreed with global warming. It's typical Cook. He quotes facts but ignores their full implications.\nAnd, as far as I can see, that goes for all of the other claims in his paper. For instance: He wades in to the uproar generated by the David Rose article which questioned a paper by NOAA's Tom Karl. He implies that Rose is wrong and the Karl paper is right. So there has been no C21 temperature \"pause\". He \"forgets\" to mention that, in the Fyfe et al. paper, some prominient Warmist scientists also distanced themselves from the Karl paper. Cook is so unbalanced it is a wonder he doesn't fall over.\nCook really is a crook Cook.\n'Gender disappointment'\nI was delighted when my son was born but it is my one big regret that I did not have a daughter too. But 10 IVF treatment cycles did not produce one. So I do to a degree understand the stories of the two women below. \"Daughter deprivation\" is a real thing.\nBut I note that both women are emphatic about gender roles. They seem to want to prove something. It appears that they have feminist ideas that they want to apply to their daughters. They don't want normal \"girly\" girls. They want to show that girls don't have to be girly. That makes me a bit concerned if they do end up with girly girls.\nI know one tomboyish mother who ended up unexpectedly with a \"Princess\" daughter but in that case it ended well. The mother was above all kind so the princess got her frills and things\nEthically, gender selection seems to me to pose the same dilemmas as abortion but since the selection occurs before there is any consciousness, I would be inclined to look the other way -- JR\nWe have come to the house of a woman we won't name, in a state we won't name, to talk to her about her desperate wish to have a daughter. We have agreed to call this woman \"Kate\", and such is her fear of social backlash that when we interview her, we film her in silhouette.\nSeveral other women had agreed to be interviewed by Lateline, then changed their minds over concerns they would be targeted on social media for their views.\nKate suffers from what is known as gender disappointment.\nHow seriously you take that concept probably goes a long way to determining how you feel about whether Australia should legalise gender selection - the use of IVF to get the baby of your desired sex.\nGender disappointment is not a medically recognised condition. Critics call it a social construct, but venture into some closed online chat forums and you will find hundreds of Australian women who are sharing their disappointment over the sex of their children.\nKate, 29, already has two boys and is five months pregnant with her third boy - a revelation that left her \"gutted\". \"I went to the bedroom and cried for a really long time,\" she says. \"Then my husband came in and he cried as well. \"You feel horrible, because you want to be excited that it's a boy, but part of you was really disappointed.\"\nKate is desperate for a daughter but she insists she doesn't want a \"a ballerina, Barbie girl\". \"I'm not wanting someone that I can dress in pink and tie her hair up. I'm not wanting any of that,\" she says.\n\"It's just that I always imagined her and she's always existed. I feel the family isn't complete without her.\"\nKate and others who feel gender disappointment describe it as a guilt-ridden, debilitating depression.\n\"Unless someone has that desire themselves and feels how it can be all-consuming, they can't understand what it's like,\" she says. \"It'd be so easy if I could just switch it off and just be happy.\"\nGender selection is not allowed in Australia, but an ethics committee of the National Health and Medical Research Council has been reviewing the guidelines for assisted reproductive technology and may make a recommendation for change.\n\"To you she doesn't exist yet, but to us we can't imagine a life without her,\" Kate wrote in her submission to the committee.\n\"It's really a personal decision and it's not going to hurt people the way that people seem to think it is.\n\"It's not going to affect the gender ratio, and it's not going to place these unrealistic ideas on the children that are being born.\"\nSarah has two boys, aged nine and seven, and four-year-old twin girls.\n\"I will talk to people and they go, 'Oh you're so lucky you got the two boys and then you got the two girls', and I will go, 'No, luck had nothing to do with that. I had to do some extreme measures to get my girls',\" she says.\nAfter having two boys, Sarah went to California, where gender selection is allowed, to go through an IVF cycle and be implanted only with the female embryos it produced.\nSarah had gone through the same range of emotions Kate is now experiencing. \"It's gut-wrenching. I would be in tears,\" she says.\n\"It never crossed my mind that I wouldn't have a daughter, and I wanted that because I was so close to my mum that I wanted to be the mum that was that close to my daughter,\" she says.\nShe rejects suggestions sex selection is akin to creating a designer baby. \"I didn't choose any eye colour, I didn't choose a hair colour, I just chose a girl over a boy,\" she says.\nShe is adamant that her daughters will not be expected to conform to gender stereotypes.\n\"I'm not going to force anything on my children,\" she says. \"They can be gay, they can be bi, they can do whatever they want with their lives.\n\"I'm a live-and-let-live kind of person. \"I don't judge other people, and I just hope they don't judge me in the same way.\"\nDonald Trump backs down over 'one China policy' in call with China's Xi Jinping\nBy first making it clear that U.S. policy cannot be taken for granted, Trump has gained kudos by agreeing to the status quo after all. Good negotiation tactics. China does now to a degree owe him a favor.\nThe Leftist media don't or won't understand his tactics so are full of scare stories about what Trump MIGHT do. But his actions have been very conservative -- including his immigration restrictions, which are little different from actions by previous Presidents, such as Obama and Carter\nThere is a long article here by Daniel McCarthy, editor at large of The American Conservative which is headed: \"Donald Trump: the method behind the madness. How the unorthodox US president may be one step ahead of his critics\". So some people at least do get how Trump works\nNote also the following comment on Trump's travel ban order:\n\"Trump could have executed this better, and the courts absolutely got it wrong. But it's important to realize that this was also strategically calculated to play out in one of two ways: Either Trump got his way with the order (he didn't), or his base is (rightly) fired up about an activist judiciary just in time for Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Trump wins either way. And along the way, Trump successfully diverted media attention to a very temporary travel moratorium - i.e., not the most critical issue. The charitable view is that this is an example of one of Trump's deal-making trademarks, \"managed chaos,\" in which he keeps his opponents off balance, distracted and unaware of the right hook that is, ultimately, going to win the match\"\nDonald Trump has backed down over his confrontational stance towards Beijing, committing to the `One China policy' in his first phone call with Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, since taking office.\nIn a move that is certain to ease tensions between the United States and China, the US president \"agreed, at the request of President Xi, to honour our `one China' policy,\" the White House said in a statement.\nThe \"lengthy telephone conversation\" on Thursday evening was \"extremely cordial\" and the two leaders \"extended invitations to meet in their respective countries,\" the statement added.\nMr Xi told Mr Trump that he appreciated the president's reaffirmation of the policy, China's state news agency Xinhua reported.\nMr Trump angered Beijing by accepting a congratulatory call from the President of Taiwan in December, breaking decades of diplomatic protocol.\nHe has since suggested there could be a renegotiation of the One China policy, in which the US recognises Beijing's rule over the island. Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province, which will be reunited with the mainland, by force if necessary.\nObservers had questioned Mr Trump's apparent willingness to use the Taiwan issue as a `bargaining chip' with China, and they believe his decision to back down over the issue is the correct one.\nPaul Haenle, director of the Carnegie-Tsinghua Centre for Global Policy in Beijing, said: \"Trump played with the notion of using this arrangement as leverage, but I think he ultimately came to the right conclusion that this is not where the US Administration can get leverage. \"The One China Policy is not a card on the bargaining table - it is the table itself.\n\"Taiwan is also a vital US partner and thriving democracy of 23 million people. Its future is not ours to bargain away,\" Mr Haenle, who served on the National Security Council under Mr Bush and Barack Obama, told The Telegraph.\nBonnie Glaser, senior advisor for Asia at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said: \"The US-China relationship has been on hold as Beijing waited for Trump to make this statement.\n\"Now the two countries can get down to business and discuss how to manage their differences on a wide range of issues,\" she told The Telegraph.\nIf conservatives want to copy Trump, embracing Putin is the worst place to start (?)\nLike Mr Trump, I see some virtue in Vladimir Vladimirovich and I have written to that effect on several previous occasions. (See here. Scroll down). I like Mr Putin nearly as much as I like Mr Trump, in fact. So I am one of those evil people that the Leftist Australian journalist below is inveighing against. Vladimir Vladimirovich is in fact an exceptionally enlightened ruler by Russian standards.\nThe Leftist writer below, David Wroe, tries to make the case that Putin and Russia generally are dangerous, evil and should be shunned. Which is amusing. A few decades back Leftists would hear no ill about Russia -- at a time when there really was cause for concern about Russia. The points made below are however specious and are typical of the Leftist habit of telling only half the story.\nMr Putin is somehow blamed on the shooting down of a Malaysian airline over Ukraine. But the Ukraine was at the time in a civil war and was known as dangerous airspace -- and most airlines kept away from it even though that increased their costs. It was penny-pinching bureaucrats running the Malaysian airline who took the big risk of flying their plane over Eastern Ukraine. It is they who are to blame\nIt took Russia's intervention to set in train the now almost complete destruction of ISIS but our friend below can only complain that the defeat helps the Syrian government.\nThe Syrian government is certainly brutal but dictatorships seem to be the only sort of regime that works in Muslim lands. Islam is an authoritarian religion. \"Submit or die\" is its historic message. Democracy didn't last long in Egypt. Turkey has once again returned to a version of the authoritarian rule that has characterized most of its history and vast American efforts to democratize Iraq and Afghanistan have certainly been an abject failure.\nI could go on but I think I have said enough to show that it's just the usual dishonest Leftist propaganda below. You believe anything in it at your peril>\nThe Trumpification of the right wing of Australian politics has begun.\nOn Sunday night, Coalition backbencher George Christensen defended Vladimir Putin's Russia, saying on Twitter it had been \"demonised unfairly\" and asking, \"What threat do they cause us or the West?\"\nThis is a startling message to a country that lost 38 people in the shooting down of flight MH17 in the skies above Ukraine. In his tweets, Mr Christensen distanced Moscow from involvement in MH17 and said only that separatists \"allegedly\" shot down the plane, though on Monday morning he clarified that he accepted most investigators' conclusion that \"separatists backed by Russia\" were responsible.\nBut his string of tweets point to an affinity with the US President's foreign policy view that strong men who pursue their country's national interests with scant regard to the international system are to be admired and emulated.\nPauline Hanson did much the same on Monday morning, saying \"I've got no problems with Vladimir\" because he is \"a strong leader\" who is \"standing up for his nation\" and that's what Australians want of their leaders too.\nNewsflash to them both: Australia is not the US or Russia. It is a middle power that needs rules and a level playing field. As one of our finest foreign policy thinkers, former Department of Foreign Affairs head Peter Varghese, put it in a 2015 speech: \"Australia can neither bully nor buy its way in the world, so an international, rules-based order is in our best interests.\"\nTake another one of Christensen's Sunday night tweets: \"Russia [is] the real reason ISIS is losing.\"\nMoscow has propped up Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad but has targeted a wide range of anti-regime forces, not just the Islamic State, and has indiscriminately bombed civilians, killing thousands.\nIts intervention has removed any incentive for Assad to compromise and allow a political solution in Syria, ensuring that Syrian Sunnis will feel aggrieved for at least another generation. That will help seed the next generation of sectarian fighters and jihadists that will replace the Islamic State when it is defeated.\nBy contrast, the Australian Defence Force has for more than two years carefully targeted Islamic State forces in airstrikes while advising and training Iraqi forces on the ground. Not one civilian is known to have been killed in Australian air strikes, and the ADF's efforts alongside the US have tried to avoid empowering the Assad regime.\nMr Christensen also called Russia \"a democracy\" and branded the hacking of US political parties \"fake news\", even though Mr Trump himself has admitted Russia was responsible for the hacking and US intelligence agencies have stated in a public report that Russia hacked political parties for the express purpose of tilting the election in Mr Trump's favour.\nRussia is working to break up Europe and tear up the international system of rules and norms that has made the last 70 years the most prosperous and stable the world has seen. It wants to return the world to spheres of influence around powers that use might to make right.\nThat is the threat Russia poses to us all.\nWhite privilege as a Nazi concept Hostility to pe...\nThe word that controversial free speech advocate M...\nMr Trump's manner of speaking Mr Trump's language...\nDo as I say, not as I do (1) The Left love preach...\nHow different is the reaction to Trump?

        "raw_content": ">> Biographies Published Articles\nTAGS: Agnes Alexander; Hands of the Cause\nAlexander, Agnes:\nby Duane Troxel\nSpiritual Victories\nThe second in a three-part series on the life of the Hand of the Cause of God\nAgnes Baldwin Alexander. Originally published in November 1983 Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed News.\nAgnes Alexander traveled to Japan six times \u0097 twice at 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1's request and four times at the bidding of Shoghi Effendi.1 Altogether, her pioneering services there totaled some 32 years, spanning more than half a century.\nShortly after her arrival in Japan in November 1914 she traveled to Tokyo where she joined forces with another Bah\u00e1'\u00ed from Hawaii, Dr. George Augur.2 Together they began the first Bah\u00e1'\u00ed meetings in that land.\nThe first Japanese to embrace the Cause in Japan itself3 was an 18-year-old schoolboy. A school teacher had attended a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed meeting and told his class that a woman in Tokyo was teaching a new religion. When Kikutaro Fukuta heard this, he felt instantly that it was the truth and began attending the meetings. In broken English he worded this touching petition to 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1:\n\"O my Master 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1! How great mercy and benevolence that Thou hast descended upon us through an apostle Alexander! Though I am a base and poor youth in this world, I am being awakened and bathed in the ocean of Thy mercy, so happy that I pity the king and the prince who are wandering about in the dream of temporal variance. Accept, O Master, my deep thankfulness from the bottom of my heart. I am very sorry when I think of our fellowmen who take no thought about real happiness and do not rely upon the warm hand of Thy love. O my Lord! Water me forever with the fountain of mercy; I will never refuse Thy command whatsoever it may be. Forgive my sins, and allow me to awaken my fellow men.\"4\nNot long after her arrival, Agnes joined the Universal Esperanto Association. Through it she met Vasily Eroshenko, a blind Russian youth. He became the \"door through which a new world opened to the Japanese blind through the Esperanto language.\"5 He taught Agnes Braille in English and Esperanto. Using the medium of Braille, she was able to communicate the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Teachings to those who possessed spiritual insight. In 1917 she wrote \"A Letter to the Blind Women of Japan,\" which was translated into Japanese Braille. This was Japan's first Bah\u00e1'\u00ed publication.\n'Spiritual brotherhood'\nIn July 1915 Agnes was visited by a Miss Martha Root who was making a \"journalistic trip around the world\" to see for herself \"how the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Teachings were really uniting into one great spiritual brotherhood the diverse races and religions.\"6 Agnes and Martha instantly forged a deep spiritual attachment to one another. Martha Root was Agnes' inspiration to begin writing for the Cause. Throughout the rest of her life she wrote of the Faith in books, articles, radio scripts, and press releases. For a time she was a contributing editor to the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed magazine Star of the West.\nWhen Martha left Japan, Agnes said she left behind a bright spot \"and certainly sowed many seeds for the Cause.\"7\nEvery teaching trip Agnes embarked upon in those days was important in one way or another. But of all the trips she took, the one to Ejiri in the summer of 1916 brought her the greatest joy, for it was on that trip that she gave the Message to a blind student, Tokujiro Torii.8 He later said there came to him one day \"a messenger of the Kingdom of Abha and lifted up the veil of my soul. . . . Every word she spoke to me was wonderful and luminous. It dispelled the darkness from my soul, brought fragrances to my heart like the breeze from the green fields, and made my inner sight keener and fresher than ever.\"9\nMiss Alexander left Japan in 1917 after receiving an urgent cable from home. She spent the next two years in Hawaii and on the U.S. mainland. While staying with an aunt in Montclair, New Jersey, she received a Tablet from 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1 containing this astonishing opening: \"O thou daughter of the Kingdom! Although your letter has not yet been received, yet we do answer it.\" He advised her to \"hasten back to Japan, for in Japan you will be assisted and exalted.\"10\nBefore returning to her post, Agnes attended the 1919 U.S. Convention, held that year at the McAlpin Hotel in New York City.11 It was there that 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1's Tablets of the Divine Plan were unveiled for the first time. In them He said this: \"Consider ye, that Miss Agnes Alexander, the daughter of the Kingdom, the beloved maidservant of the Blessed Perfection, traveled alone to Hawaii and now she is gaining spiritual victories in Japan!\"12 Agnes returned to Japan in August 1919.\nAgnes always awaited inspiration before carrying out any activity for the Cause. One day in 1920 she was praying, \"Then suddenly, like a flash of light, a great joy filled my heart. The inspiration which came was entirely unexpected. It was that I would go to Korea and take His Message.\"13\nIn the fall of 1921 she became the first Bah\u00e1'\u00ed to set foot in Korea. Because the activities of foreigners were then closely scrutinized by the Korean police, Agnes decided to obtain permission to carry out her teaching plans. She went to the official in charge and explained the purpose of her visit. She also presented him with a translation of 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1's advice to another pioneer, Fanny Knobloch of South Africa. Some of the Master's words were: \"It may be that the government of those regions will check thee. Thou shouldst say, 'I am a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed and a friend with all religions and nations. I consider all to be of one race and count them as my relatives. I have divine love and not racial and sectarian love.'\"14 The official was so delighted with the Master's words that he gave Agnes three letters of introduction to important officials in that country \u0097 one of whom was the governor of Korea.\nEn route to Seoul, Agnes said she felt as though she were \"going to my family instead of to a strange country,\" and she was \"thrilled with the realization that it was virgin land where the soil was pure and ready for seed sowing.\"15\nWhile in Japan she had met a Korean named Mr. Oh who told her she should go one day to Korea because the people there were \"thirsty for true religion.\"16 Since then her link with Mr. Oh had been severed. Now she turned to 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1 in prayer, supplicating Him to bring them together. Shortly afterward she was riding in a streetcar when she felt someone grasp her hand. She looked up to see Mr. Oh!\nFrom that point on he became her guide and interpreter. Together they planned Korea's first Bah\u00e1'\u00ed public meeting. With only one day's lead time, they advertised the talk in the local paper. When they reached the meeting place they were astonished to see about 900 Koreans patiently waiting! Agnes spoke to them simply, holding aloft a photograph of 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1. Afterward, she invited seekers from that meeting to a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed feast. Each one who came was asked to write his sentiments and name on a card addressed to the Master. These are a few of their comments: \"Just now I found the brilliant light of Baha.\" \"The universal supreme mountain of Truth.\" \"Oh freedom! Oh Bah\u00e1'\u00ed!\"17\nAfter a month of successful proclamation and teaching in Korea, Agnes returned to Tokyo. She then received a Tablet from 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1 (delivered posthumously) praising her efforts in Korea. Although they never met, her attachment to 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1 was great. Throughout the remainder of her life she would turn to Him for help in times of need. The strength of her conviction is revealed in her response to His passing. Instead of dampening her ardor, the event seems to have inflamed it still further. In letters written to a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed friend at that time she says:\n\". . .let us be very near to each other in spirit in these great days.\n\"In His great love and mercy He left a Tablet for the new friends of Korea and one to me. Pray dearest sister, that I may fulfil His Hope in Korea and may be selfless at His Door.\"18\n\". . .I wish you were here with me in this little house, because with united hearts we could spread a great bouquet of love. We could sacrifice all in love to Him.\"\n'Herald of Truth' in Japan\n\"It seems I must always stand alone, but dear, He does not forsake His children. We know His Love \u0097 that is all we must seek.\"19 In a Tablet to a Japanese Bah\u00e1'\u00ed, written in the last year of His life, 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1 called Agnes \"the herald of Truth in Japan. Rest assured that she will be confirmed and assisted.\"20 In later years the Guardian assured her, \"The Master is watching over and blessing your historic services.\"21\nShoghi Effendi Rabbani (1897-1957) became Guardian and head of the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Faith. His first letter to the Bah\u00e1'\u00eds of Japan was sent in care of Agnes. In it he recalled a statement of 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1's concerning Japan, saying: \"These were His very words, that still keep ringing in my ears: \u0097 'Japan will turn ablaze! Japan is endowed with a most remarkable capacity for the spread of the Cause of God!' \"22\nRock-firm in the Covenant, Agnes had no difficulty accepting the Master's successor, Shoghi Effendi, as \"the sign of God on earth.\" Of the first personal letter received from him she wrote, \"The words penned by his hand at the end of the letter so affected me that, for several days my heart was filled with joy and inspiration, and a realization came to me of the power with which God had endowed him.\"23 She was one of those who in later years cheered his heart when disunity and Covenant-breaking drove him into seclusion in Switzerland. He wrote that \"her glorious service in Japan\" had rejoiced his heart and strengthened his \"confidence in the future glories of that far eastern land.\"24\n'Two weeks in Heaven'\nMartha Root25 arrived in Tokyo in April 1923. Indefatigable Martha! Agnes arranged a full schedule of teaching activities for this remarkable Bah\u00e1'\u00ed. Martha spoke to schools, universities, Esperantists, peace societies, YMCA groups and the blind. When the time came for her departure for China she wrote in Agnes' guest book: \"I have spent two weeks in Heaven with my precious sister, Agnes. Ya Baha El Abha!\"26\nAgnes was in Tokyo on September 1, 1923, when a stupendous earthquake rocked Japan. \"It shook Tokyo as a terrier does a rat, at noon when all the luncheon fires in the city were lit, and within a few seconds the city was ablaze from end to end.\"27 Agnes said, \"As soon as the first tremor subsided, I rushed into the house and procured my hand bag in which I carried the Prayer for protection revealed by 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1. . . .When the earth began again to tremble, I read the Prayer aloud. Three times this occurred, and each time quiet came after the reading.\"28\nWhen it was over, Tokyo, Yokohama and the neighboring villages were utterly destroyed. The death toll exceeded 150,000; more than 100,000 others were injured. From throughout the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed world Agnes received letters of concern and consolation. One precious letter came from Bahiyyih Khanum, the Greatest Holy Leaf:29 \"The Lord has surely kept you safe amid the crumbling walls of that great city of Japan, that you in turn might accomplish the task that lies before you and I never doubt that you are surely worthy of His Grace.\"30\nHomeless, Agnes traveled to Korea and then to China where she joined Martha Root. Only four years earlier 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1 had told some pilgrims, \"New China has awakened.\"31 The white faces of Agnes and Martha were a curious novelty to many Chinese.\nTravel was sometimes difficult and dangerous. Seated on the wooden floor of a springless, donkey-drawn cart, they traveled for miles in bitterly cold weather. On another occasion they encountered 13 freshly decapitated heads hung from the gate of a city, proclaiming to all the fate of Chinese bandits who are caught. It could not have been a reassuring sight to three middle-aged women traveling without escort (Agnes' sister, Mary Charlotte, who was not a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed, accompanied them on the trip).32\nAfter three months Agnes left China to return home to Honolulu. It is surprising to learn that she did not plan to make her home in Japan. \"In the future,\" she wrote, \"I will return to China & Korea and of course pass through Japan, but I don't think I will live there again.\" She intended to visit Korea and make an indefinite stay in China.33\nShoghi Effendi praised her efforts in China, but reminded her of \"the sacred interests of the Cause in Japan,\" saying, \"you are that radiant herald who has raised the Call of Salvation in its very heart and to whom it owes a great debt of gratitude.\"34 On another occasion he wrote, \"I feel that your destiny lies in that far-off and promising country (Japan) where your noble and pioneer services future generations will befittingly glorify and thankfully remember.\"35 And, \"Your name will forever remain associated with the rise of the Faith and its establishment in Japan, and the record of your incessant and splendid endeavours will shed on its annals a lustre that time can never dim.\"36\nAgnes accomplished some notable firsts during her Hawaiian sojourn, 1924 to 1928. In May 1924 she completed the maiden travel teaching voyage to the island of Hawaii, traversing the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago. She spoke in churches, Buddhist temples, YMCAs and schools. Her talks were published in both the English- and Japanese-language press. In July she sailed for Kauai where she gave the premier presentation of the Teachings to that island. In 1927 she began a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed children's class \"under a spreading monkeypod tree . . .\"37 Nevertheless, she had not forgotten the Guardian's wish that she return to Japan. Before returning she collected, and had published, 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1's Tablets to Japan.\nAgnes' third visit to Japan began on January 24, 1928. She landed in Tokyo, now completely rebuilt since the catastrophic quake five years earlier. Always thrifty in her habits, Agnes had decided not to ship her car from Honolulu: \"This is not the place for a lady to drive an auto. The streets are bad & there are many bicycles & disorder. One can hire an auto within the city for 1 yen fixed price, so it is very convenient. There are 2 men to manage the taxi. One drives, & the other jumps out to inquire the way.\"38 She later found the drivers quite reckless and often resorted to squeezing her eyes shut whenever things looked dangerous.\nOnce-timid Agnes continued her public talks, employing a technique gleaned from Martha Root. Before delivering a talk she wrote everything out, keeping as close to 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1's words as she could. When she finished talking she would hand out copies of the address to the newsmen in attendance, thereby assuring the best chance for full and accurate reporting.\nThe year of Agnes' return to Japan coincided with the coronation of Emperor Hirohito who succeeded his father, Yoshihito, two years earlier. He was presented with seven specially bound Bah\u00e1'\u00ed books along with a message from Shoghi Effendi: \"May the perusal of Bah\u00e1'\u00ed literature enable your Imperial Majesty to appreciate the sublimity and penetrative power of Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h's Revelation and inspire you on this auspicious occasion to arise for its worldwide recognition and triumph.\"39 Aside from Queen Marie of Rumania, the Emperor was the only sovereign addressed by the Guardian.40\nAt 54, Agnes climbed Mt. Fuji, Japan's highest peak (elevation 12,365 feet), in the company of Buddhist pilgrims. Climbing throughout a moonlit night, she joined her companions at dawn for prayers. \"All stood in reverence with heads bared while from under the clouds the glorious sun rose illuminating the mountainside. . . . Looking down the mountain, as far as the eye could see, there was a continuous white-robed procession ascending the winding trail. . . .\"41\nMartha Root, fresh from a triumphant pilgrimage through Persia, returned to China in September 1930. Agnes left Tokyo and rendezvoused with her in Shanghai. The Bah\u00e1'\u00ed pioneers residing in that city warmly welcomed the energetic duo. A major triumph of the trip was the spontaneous offer by Dr. Tsao, the president of Tsing Hua University, to translate Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h and the New Era into Chinese. Martha was so touched by his offer that her eyes filled with tears of gratitude.42\nReturning to Japan, the two plunged into an exhausting round of speaking engagements. The crowning event was Martha's talk over Tokyo radio station JOAK on \"The Progress of the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Movement in the Five Continents.\" The talk was later published in the Japan Times.43\nInspiration guided Agnes Alexander's life. On many occasions she anticipated by some mysterious intuition spiritually significant events. One of these was the visit to Japan of Keith Ransom-Kehler44 in June 1931. Agnes had never met Keith: \"... I had only known her through her writings, yet even before the cable reached me telling of her coming, an expectant joy filled my heart \u0097 a joy which came from an unseen source and was not connected with the world about me.\"45 Keith's intellectual and spiritual brilliance dazzled Agnes and all others who heard her. Agnes credited her with laying the foundation for the formation of Japan's first Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Assembly \u0097 a goal Shoghi Effendi had set for Agnes. One day Keith came into Agnes' room and read aloud to her an article she had just written on \"The Station of Martyrdom.\" \"How significant it now seems,\" Agnes later recalled, \"when she herself has attained this high distinction among the American believers and become their first martyr.\"46\n'Exemplary devotion'\nThe year 1932 was one of victories for Agnes. On March 13 she awoke with the inspiration to form Japan's first Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Assembly. Eight days later she cabled the Guardian: \"NAW RUZ GREETINGS TOKYO ASSEMBLY.\" He replied, \"LOVING REMEMBRANCE SHOGHI.\"47 That December, the long-awaited translation of Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h and the New Era into Japanese came from the printers. When copies reached the Holy Land, Shoghi Effendi placed them with his own hands alongside 14 other versions at Bahji, where they would be \"a constant reminder\" of Agnes' \"perseverance,\" \"magnificent efforts\" and \"exemplary devotion to the Cause of God.\"48\nA death in the family in June 1933 prompted Agnes to return to Hawaii. By May 1935 she was back at her post in Japan. The fledgling Assembly she had helped form was scattered. It appeared that the Cause had not progressed during her absence; but this did not trouble her. She was confident that \"His guiding power\" was leading the way.49\nA tragic event during this time was the Toriis' loss of their only son, 17-year-old Akira, whose name means \"shining light.\" Instead of despairing, however, they were happy, and sensed that he was spiritually near. As a memorial to Akira, Mr. Torii translated Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h and the New Era into Japanese Braille. Perhaps it was a fulfillment of 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1's wish, expressed in a Tablet to Akira's parents at the time of his birth: \"Akira, whose name may be ever blessed for it is quite an appropriate one. . . .\"50\nAudio recording of Agnes Alexander in Menlo Park, California, 1961. \"Legacies of Service\" tape, Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Publishing Trust, Wilmette, Illinois, 1980.\nDr. Augur (1858-1927), a homeopathic physician, had moved to Hawaii from Oakland, California, in 1898. Around 1909 he and his wife Ruth embraced the Faith. He was the first from Hawaii to pioneer, and reached Japan only months before Agnes. 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1 commended him for his pioneering efforts: \"A thousand times bravo to thy high magnanimity and exalted aim! . . .Ere long this transcendent Light will wholly enlighten the East and the West!\" (History of the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Faith in Japan: 1914-1938, pp. 12-13). After his passing, Dr. Augur was designated a \"Disciple of 'Abdu'l-Bah\u00e1\" by Shoghi Effendi (The Bah\u00e1'\u00ed World, Vol IV, pp. 118-19).\nThough the first to declare in Japan, Mr. Fukuta was actually the fourth Japanese Bah\u00e1'\u00ed in the world. The first was Mr. Kanichi Yamamoto (1879-1961) who embraced the Faith in Honolulu in September 1902. The second was the well-known Saichiro Fujita (1886-1976) who became a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed in Oakland, California, around 1905. (Japan Will Turn Ablaze!, p. 18). Mr. Fujita served the Master, the Guardian, and the Universal House of Justice as a gardener at the World Centre.

Keith Ransom-Kehler stayed at the Torii home in 1931 and said she had \"never known such kindness.\" (Star of the West, 24:12, p. 374). He translated into Japanese Braille such works as the Kit\u00e1b-i-Iq\u00e1n, The Hidden Words, and The Seven Valleys.

        "raw_content": "Home / Exclusives / Paying Safety Forward\u2026See Something, Say Something\nDan Hannan | Merjent\nIt\u2019s difficult for me to pass an unsafe situation and not stop to say something. I\u2019ve only stopped a couple of times when I\u2019ve been \u201coff duty\u201d \u2013 I was thanked once and told to &^%# off the other time! The commercial roofing contractor that had a crew working without fall protection was also allowing them to use metal ladders very close to the overhead power coming into the building. I tried to put my observations in terms the foreman could understand\u2026\u201d I\u2019m saving you from a fine, if I were OSHA\u2026\u201d He cut me off and told me to go away. At least I can sleep better knowing that I tried.\nAt Merjent we have a STOP WORK expectation\u2013 if you don\u2019t feel safe with the work your performing or if you see an unsafe condition or behavior you will intervene to stop the work. Many of our clients expect the same from us.\nIt\u2019s easy to say but difficult to do as the battle is almost always from within and we may try to convince ourselves\u2026It\u2019s not my responsibility\u201d; \u201cI don\u2019t want to ruffle feathers\u201d; \u201cI\u2019ll cause a project delay\u201d; \u201cI\u2019ll lose the respect of the crew,\u201d etc. Personally, my motivation is my fear of hearing about an injury that I know I could have prevented.\nI don\u2019t nit-pick the safety infractions to death but rather focus on growing a workforce effort where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. My goal is to create a desire for the workers to look out for each other. Simply put: \u201cI\u2019ve got your back and I know you\u2019ve got mine.\u201d How is that type of work environment created? Do you use the carrot, the stick, or maybe a little of each?\nIntervention with a Teaching Moment\nThe foundation for getting people to do something they don\u2019t want to do is respect. They must have respect for the person delivering the request and respect for the system they are working within. Success of the intervention, the \u201csay something\u201d part of the expectation, depends heavily on the way the information is delivered. No one likes to get yelled at or belittled in front of their peers. Seeing someone using a ladder the wrong way shouldn\u2019t involve screaming at the worker but rather spending a few minutes to provide a refresher on ladder safety. The parting message to the worker should include a reminder that safety is important to their coworkers, the client, and ultimately the sustainability of the company.\nSee each intervention opportunity as a teaching moment but be sure to set limits. Without improved behavior, a worker becomes a liability and, at some point, the \u201cstick\u201d must be used, including the threat of termination.\nIt\u2019s very easy to jump to conclusions when we see workers making poor choices that could result in an injury. Root cause analysis is used to identify the reasons that something happened. When you are intervening or investigating don\u2019t forget some of the leading reasons for safety lapses that result in injury:\nFor me, paying safety forward includes my responsibility to my family. A little bit of education and awareness early in the lives of my kids will hopefully pay off down the road and keep them out of harm\u2019s way. My hope is that their confidence develops and they are not shy about evoking their dad\u2019s \u201csee something say something\u201d expectation as a means of paying safety forward, themselves.\nAbout the Author: Dan Hannan is a Certified Safety Professional (CSP) and has been practicing safety for twenty-four years.

As they put it: \u201cThe project is actively reassembling the terms of exchange and collaboration, and enthusiastically soliciting participation to co-evolve our (inter and intra) institutional engagements. It means to be a revolutionary rigorous rethinking (the 3 Rs) of the contemporary art complex.\u201d \u201cComplex\u201d is a nice term, largely but not quite synonymous with \u201cworld\u201d, adding an interesting nuance by suggesting an intricate plurality within a single expanded field.\nThe project statement suggests that this is not so much art about life, but literally life about art \u2014 everyday living as practice: \u201cThe core of the project practice and educational philosophy at Mildred\u2019s Lane is an attempt to collectively create new modes of being in the world \u2014 this idea incorporates questions of our relation to the environment, systems of labor, forms of dwelling, new sociality \u2014 all of which compose an ethics of comportment \u2013 and are embodied in workstyles. As a participant at Mildred\u2019s Lane these issues will be negotiated daily through the rethinking of one\u2019s involvements with food, shopping, making, styling, gaming, sleeping, reading, thinking and doing. This is a program and a place where a work-live-research environment is developed to foster a rigorous engagement with every aspect of life. The entire curriculum is based on experimentally rethinking being as a practice.\u201d",

Cool off and reconnect mid-summer with a favorite summer treat.\nThe LGBTQ community and the Greater Bennington Interfaith Council held a vigil Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Four Corners in Bennington to honor victims of the Pulse Nightclub shootings in Orlando FL. The Bennington Banner reported that over 100 people attended, including members of Second Congregational Church. Leaders of faith communities of Bennington and Arlington participated, several wearing rainbow-colored vestments. Rainbow signs were held by members of the Unitarian Fellowship. On the corner under the clock, a young woman with rainbow-colored hair and a man with rainbow-colored socks shared the sidewalk with a sign \u201cWe Weep for Orlando and all LGBT communities.\u201d (See photos below)\nLetter to the Editor of the Bennington Banner:\nThank you for your coverage of the tragedy in Orlando, including how it affects people living in our local community. Adding to the heartbreak of the \u201cfacts\u201d of the event are the waves of fear and hatred and distortions of blame, if not outright lies, that continue to ripple out. As far has we can tell at this point, the shooter was not a practicing Muslim, was born in the U.S., had anger issues, had frequented the Pulse Club himself, had been under FBI investigation, and yet was able to legally purchase his weapons of slaughter. So it is that to single out his religion, or his citizenship, or his mental instability, or his sexual identity exploration as motivation for this horrific crime or representative of all others in those categories does not serve the common good.\nI was saddened to read the response of one of the local LGBTQ community in today\u2019s article, who said that \u201creligion fuels hate.\u201d \u201cIf your religion requires you to hate,\u201d as one of the photos making the rounds on Facebook says, \u201cyou need a new religion.\u201d All the world religions, at their best, teach love and compassion. Which, obviously, doesn\u2019t mean that some people who claim to adhere to a religion do hate, do hateful things, say hateful things. But to paint all religious people with the brush of hate is as unfair as painting all gay people as pedophiles, or all Mexicans as rapists and criminals, or all refugees as terrorists. It is in fact our \u201creligion\u201d that inspires us at Second Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, to affirm that \u201cwe welcome all people of faith or in search of faith, without regard to age, race, economic condition, disability, or sexual orientation to our work and worship.\u201d\nPastor, Second Congregational Church.

There are so many gems hidden within the common verses we often read over without much thought. Digging out those gems makes me ponder the depth of what He has written and left for us to know. There is something new to be learned everyday if we refuse the familiar and search for the new. Upon discovery of a hidden gem, I feel just like the young lady in the picture above. I feel like I could just outstretch my arms, throw back my head and bask in the One who created me, wants to know me, and wants me to know Him.\nIt's just marvelous.\nToday's hidden gem for me is the word \"lying\". Our familiarity races over this word and we envision a little sweet infant wrapped snuggly in white, sleeping peacefully on a bed of straw. Lying comes from the word keimai and it does mean to lie.\nBut - it also means outstretched.\nIt also means to be appointed.\nIronically, or maybe not so ironically, when I think of Jesus, the image that comes to mind is just that....\nWith a strong hand and an outstretched arm, For HIs lovingkindness is everlasting. -- Psalms 136:12\nThe babe lying in a manger was appointed to be outstretched on the cross for you and for me.\nYour 15th gift this December to Remember, Outstretched Arms.\nGod, with arms wide open you wait for me to run into them.

        "raw_content": "Digital Marketing is defined as promoting of brands or products and services using multiple forms of digital advertising, like a brand\u2019s website, email, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), social media, mobile devices, blogs, games, apps and other lead generation tools.\nIn order for any organization to create an effective digital brand presence using these devices, the first step is to create a digital strategy.\nA digital strategy answers the fundamental questions of who an organization will engage andhow. Implementing a digital strategy puts a public face on an organization, thereby increasing outreach capabilities and raising an organization\u2019s public profile.\nThe Business Case for Digital\nAs statistics reveal, performing well in digital is critical to healthcare organizations:\n72% of people use the Internet to find health information and services. (Pew, 2012)\nHalf of online health information research is on behalf of someone else. (Pew, 2012)\nOne in five internet users have consulted online reviews and rankings of health care service providers and treatments. (Pew, 2012)\nCaregivers are more likely than other internet users to take part in a wide range of health-related activities online. (Pew, 2012)\n42% of people living with a disability have looked online for health information. (Pew, 2012)\nDigital is not a short-term trend. It is the way the world is moving because no other medium compares in its ability to reach and engage such a wide variety of audiences.\nOverall, digital budgets continue to trend upwards. According to David Moth of Econsultancy, 71% will increase their digital marketing budgets this year (2013). Robust growth in digital spending will continue into the future, with spending topping out at CA$4.51 billion ($4.55 billion) in 2016 (eMarketer, 2012).\nDespite the continued growth, today many organizations still have not caught up to this reality, and therefore are misallocating their marketing dollars.\nOrganizations that properly allocate their marketing dollars and implement coherent digital strategies early will enjoy greater long term benefits. It is important to start as early as possible. As more and more organizations join the digital sphere, the space can become crowded, thus requiring a greater investment of time and resources to have the same impact. In addition, investing in digital early provides the time necessary to build institutional knowledge and develop habits that are consistent with industry best practice.\nIncreasing consumer reliance on the Internet for information means that health care organizations can greatly increase their revenue and brand by engaging audiences online. Whether a client is looking for directions, helpful hints or researching services, an organization may establish itself as an early leader.\nJoining the digital revolution is a process that takes time, dedication and most importantly, a thoughtful and well-executed plan. While the importance of a solid digital plan is well known, it is not a race. It is never too late for an organization to realize the benefits of early implementation.\nThe Benefits of Embracing Digital\nThe benefits of embracing digital are clear-especially for healthcare organizations:\nIncreased sales: As consumers increasingly turn to digital channels to seek out information regarding important decisions, smart marketers are converting that interest into handraisers and sales. Well-managed digital marketing methods have a better probability of turning a casual browser into a client.\nStronger community relationships: Digital provides an efficient means to reach out to and cultivate an audience of residents, staff, patients and their families, leading to a greater sense of community.\nQuantifiability: Unlike traditional advertising vehicles, marketing your organization can track, optimize, and improve every interaction through digital. This approach results in the best possible customer interactions and higher conversion rates.",

We have identified a new approach that may be useful for treating metastatic cancer.\nMETHODS: Here we studied the murine breast cancer cell line 66cl-4, because these cells are highly aggressive, potent inducers of metastasis and estrogen receptor negative.\nRESULTS: We found that 200 mM methyl sulfone did not induce apoptosis in cancerous cells but instead decreased cell proliferation and DNA synthesis, inhibited migration of cells through an extracellular matrix and induced contact inhibition and anchorage-dependent growth. Methyl sulfone promoted proper wound healing, reversed the epithelial to mesenchymal transition associated with metastatic disease and increased expression of \u03b1-smooth muscle actin, a differentiation protein of breast myoepithelial cells.\nCONCLUSION: Methyl sulfone did not kill the cancer cells but instead decreased metastatic phenotypes and increased normal differentiated phenotypes.\nMethyl sulfone manifests anticancer activity in a metastatic murine breast cancer cell line and in human breast cancer tissue\u2013part 2: human breast cancer tissue.\nCaron JM, Monteagudo L, Sanders M, Bannon M, Deckers PJ.\nDepartment of Cell Biology, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, CT 06030, USA. caron@nso1.uchc.edu\nBACKGROUND: Methyl sulfone is a small molecule that reverses cancerous phenotypes of a melanoma cell line. Here, we sought to determine whether methyl sulfone was effective against human breast cancer tissue.\nMETHODS: We studied normal and cancerous breast tissue obtained from 17 patients.\nRESULTS: Methyl sulfone introduced structural order, with cancer tissue taking on the morphology of normal in vivo breast tissue; this structural order was sustainable over long-term culture. Methyl sulfone promoted proper wound healing, including migration of cells into wounded areas and establishment of stable contact inhibition once wounds were covered. Methyl sulfone decreased expression of two breast stem cell marker proteins, HCAM and OCT3/4, which are associated with aberrantly rapid migration of metastatic cells. Finally, normal and cancerous primary breast cells remained viable and healthy in methyl sulfone culture for at least 90 days.\nCONCLUSION: Methyl sulfone reintroduced a normal structural phenotype to human breast cancer tissues.\nMethyl Sulfone and the Treatment of Metastatic Cancer\nPresent Day Chemotherapy\nThe goal of present day chemotherapy is to kill cancer cells. While these chemotherapeutic drugs are often effective against early stage tumors (primary tumors), these drugs are not effective against late stage or metastatic cancer cells. Metastatic cancer means that cancer cells have migrated away from the primary tumor and have invaded other tissues. Metastatic cancer accounts for approximately 90% of all cancer deaths.\nMany of us know, as patients or caregivers, that the side effects of present day chemotherapy can be devastating. What makes these side effects so physically and emotionally devastating is the fact that these drugs always kill some normal cells in your body, but often not the metastatic cancer cells. Why metastatic cells are so hard to kill is not clear. But neither broad-based chemotherapy nor more specific drug targeting has proved uniformly successful long-term against metastatic disease.\nResearchers are always attempting to identify new and more effective chemotherapeutic drugs. However, drug screening for anti-cancer activity is based on the ability of drugs to kill cancer cells. These tests are most often performed with robotics. This means that test results are looked at without ever looking at the cells. We sought to determine a new approach to identify compounds that would stop cancer cells from growing (proliferating) without killing the normal cells, and in the process we discovered methyl sulfone.\nMethyl Sulfone\nMethyl sulfone is a small water-soluble molecule that displays no apparent toxicity to mammals including humans; i.e., no side effects. Furthermore, methyl sulfone is a critical part of the oceanic-atmospheric-terra firma life cycle of sulfur. Methyl sulfone and the metabolites that form methyl sulfone are natural molecules that are necessary for survival of many organisms including several species of plants, phytoplankton algae, diatoms and fishes.\nHuman beings do not synthesize methyl sulfone, and must acquire the molecule through diet. However, certain plant species such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, Swiss chard, onion and garlic, several of which have been consumed by humans for centuries, contain methyl sulfone. Several ancient plants also contain significant quantities of methyl sulfone. For example, the horsetail plant (Order Equisetales) has populated earth for over 100 million years. This extraordinary long-term existence of ancient plants like the horsetail indicates the possibility that methyl sulfone has been in our environment for millions of years, which further suggests an important role for methyl sulfone in the maintenance of many forms of life on our planet. Regrettably, over the last 50 years the level of methyl sulfone in the food we eat has significantly fallen due to mass industrialization of food processing (Steely JS. 1994. In: Mussinan K, ed. Sulfur Compounds in Foods. Washington, DC: American Chemical Society. 8p.).\nMethyl Sulfone and Melanoma\nWe chose to study methyl sulfone because its chemical structure suggested anti-cancer activity. We first tested the effect of methyl sulfone on an aggressive metastatic melanoma cell line (Caron et al., 2010, see below). However, instead of looking for cell death by robotics, we observed the cells under a microscope. Surprisingly, within 24-96 hours the melanoma cells lost properties associated with the metastatic state and reacquired properties of normal cells (melanocytes). And by three weeks in methyl sulfone this transformation into non-growing, well-behaved normal cells was irreversible.\nA most important function of a normal cell is to continue growing until it touches another growing cell, at which time both cells stop growing. This is called \u201ccontact inhibition\u201d and is critical for normal cell function; if the cells didn\u2019t stop growing once they touch another cell, a tumor would form. Cancer cells touch, but do not stop growing. The first observation we made by watching melanoma cells under the microscope was that methyl sulfone induced contact inhibition! Current scientific methods for drug discovery do not involve observing the cells. Therefore, methods presently being used are missing a fundamental cellular process that is able to prevent metastasis. This also means that methyl sulfone would never have been discovered if only the ability to kill cancer cells and only robotics had been used to assay anti-cancer activity. The fact that we looked through a microscope allowed the discovery of methyl sulfone.\nMethyl Sulfone and Breast Cancer\nWe have now studied the effect of methyl sulfone on an aggressive metastatic breast cancer cell line (Caron et al., 2013a, see below), and extended the results with melanoma cells. This means that methyl sulfone is active against more than one type of metastatic cancer. We show that treatment of metastatic breast cancer cells with methyl sulfone causes a decrease in metastatic properties and the reemergence of normal cell properties. For example, cells become contact inhibited, cell proliferation stops, DNA synthesis stops, and cells stop migrating. Furthermore, a metastatic tumor promoter protein (N-cadherin) that is found in metastatic cells and is responsible for initiating migration of metastatic cells, is no longer found in methyl sulfone-treated cells and a metastatic tumor suppressor protein (E-cadherin) that is found in normal cells and prevents cancer cell migration, re-appears in the cells. In addition, methyl sulfone causes the re-differentiation or re-appearance of normal types of breast cells such as ductal cells and myoepithelial cells.\nWe recently studied the effect of methyl sulfone on normal and cancerous human breast tissue obtained during surgery (Caron et al., 2013b, see below). There were 17 patients, each with a unique pathology report. For example, some patients had invasive carcinoma, some with necrosis, some with inflammatory elements, some with vascular involvement, some triple negative. In most cases we were able to obtain both cancerous and normal breast tissue from the same patient. We observed cells from these tissues living in culture dishes in a nutrient \u201csoup\u201d for up to 90 days, in either the presence or absence of methyl sulfone. With all tissues, we obtained similar results. Methyl sulfone normalizes the cancerous tissue and makes the normal tissue look even healthier. For example, both cancerous and normal breast tissue form the 3D architecture of normal in situ breast tissue complete with lobular structures and \u201chighways\u201d of myoepithelial cells. These results show that methyl sulfone is effective against different subtypes of human breast cancer tissue and methyl sulfone does not harm normal tissue.\nWe also show that cancerous human breast tissue, but not normal human breast tissue, contains two breast cancer stem cell proteins, HCAM (or CD44) and OCT 3/4, which allow metastatic breast cancer cells to rapidly move throughout the patient\u2019s body. However, when cancerous breast tissue is treated with methyl sulfone, HCAM and OCT 3/4 disappear, the cells stop moving so rapidly, and the cells take on the appearance and behavior of normal breast cells.\nTo summarize, our data show that chemotherapeutic agents need not kill cancer cells. Instead, it is possible that metastatic cells can be reprogramed back into normal cells. This in turn suggests that development of carcinogenesis or cancer is not a one way street (see Figure 1).\nFor many decades we have been trying to eradicate cancer by killing cancer cells. We discuss the \u201cwar against cancer\u201d and our \u201carsenal of weapons\u201d. For treatment of metastatic cancer, this approach has not worked. And since 90% of cancer deaths are due to metastatic disease, this is a significant failure.\nThe role of a metastatic cancer cell is simple: stay alive and proliferate (multiply) and migrate through the patient\u2019s body. The metastatic cancer cell can use several different pathways in a cell to achieve these goals. If one part of a pathway, for example for proliferation, is blocked by a targeted chemotherapeutic drug, the cancer cell can \u201cevolve\u201d so that it can circumvent that one specific part of the proliferating pathway thereby becoming resistant to the targeted therapy. In fact, I believe that targeted chemotherapeutic drugs put pressure on metastatic cancer cells to evolve and become resistant to the drug. This approach of present day chemotherapy may give patients some time, but ultimately I do not believe this method will be successful against metastatic disease.\nAn alternative approach is described by our studies with methyl sulfone. Here we are not trying to kill cancer cells, but instead to redirect metastatic cancer cells away from proliferation and migration, and towards the functions of normal cells. Using the approach with methyl sulfone, metastatic cancer cells are not under pressure to evolve and become resistant to this molecule, thus in turn avoiding unregulated proliferation. In the presence of methyl sulfone, there should be no pressure on metastatic cancer cells to avoid re-acquisition of normal processes that lead to proper cell function. After all, this is what cells do naturally in our bodies all the time.\nCaron, JM, et al., (2010) Methyl sulfone induces loss of metastatic properties and reemergence of normal phenotypes in a metastatic Cloudman S-91 (M3) murine melanoma cell line.

        "raw_content": "The most important thing is that you feel good.\nYet a lot of people have a problem with this statement. In this article I want to persuade you that feeling good is actually the most important thing you can do in your life- by debunking some common reasons why most people say you shouldn\u2019t feel good- including exercise and necessary evil type arguments- and I give some reasons people be stuck in the belief that you have to go through some sort of bad feelings in order to get what you want like school and social pressure. At the end of this post I explain some ways you can start feeling good now.\nFeeling good is the most important thing that you can do. Why? Because when you feel good you start to attract other feeling good things to you. If you are not feeling good with what you are doing- then you are going to attract to you more of those things that don\u2019t feel good to do. Like attracts like.\nBut some people might say \u201cBut I have to do this thing I don\u2019t like to do right now- so that I can pay my rent.\u201d Or other similar things. And if you say it is so- then it is so for you. You create your reality- over and over again we create our reality each day with each choice. This type of thinking that you need to do something you don\u2019t like in order to achieve your goals- or to survive even- is pretty common in our culture- a lot of people subscribe to this belief- and therefor its hard to go against.\nWhen we look around and see that most people are doing what they don\u2019t like to get to some level of survival- we automatically think that this is the way it simply is. This type of thinking is systematic and has its roots in the education system most people go through. Most kids don\u2019t want to go to school- but are told that they have to and that they are given this false hope that by doing something they don\u2019t like (like homework) they will get something good out of it.\nWell let me tell you something Nothing good has ever come from doing something you don\u2019t like. Nothing.\nWhat about exercise? Some people might argue that exercise is just something that you have to bear through in order to get what you want. To this there are a couple responses; first- ask most people who have some sort of exercise routine- they like to exercise it feels good to them. Secondly- if you don\u2019t feel good while exercising you probably are not going to reach your goals- whatever they are. Sure it might hurt a little- it might sting a little- it might push you a little when you are exercising and these actions might not feel \u201cgood\u201d in the body at the time- but in a lot of ways it does actually feel good to exercise. It might not feel \u201cgood\u201d in the normal way we think of feeling good- as in some blissful relaxed equilibrium of the body- but it does feel good mentally- emotionally and in other ways- and it sure feels good after- really good.\nThe most successful people don\u2019t subscribe to the belief that you have to do something you don\u2019t like in order to do what you do like. In fact the most successful people and tell everyone (again and again) that to be successful you have to do what you do like- you have to do what feels good. The most important thing to achieving your goals is feeling good. The hard truth is that you are not going to do anything worthwhile if you are not enjoying what you are doing. I know this might be hard to accept now- especially if you have some job that you spend most of your time doing something you don\u2019t want to do- but its true- you know its true.\nSo then- we must make it our top priority to do what makes us feel good. It must be our number one top priority.\nBut someone might argue that that sounds pretty hedonistic- maybe even animalistic. If we all just went around doing what made us feel good we would be like animals- just fucking all day- or just doing drugs all the time. Well first- what is wrong with fucking all day? And secondly doing drugs doesn\u2019t actually feel good in the long term. The argument against doing what feels good- because if you did you would just do drugs all day- is really the same type of argument as the exercise argument except the other side. Yes doing drugs might feel good in the moment- but it doesn\u2019t feel good in the long term- not at all. Exercise might not feel good in the short term- but it does feel good in the long term. The high from drugs don\u2019t last long- then you need more- and more. Even given the best circumstances- lets say you are rich and can afford all the drugs you want- eventually your body will begin to shutdown- our bodies just can\u2019t handle large amounts of drugs for long amounts of time. We can\u2019t stay permanently high with the use of drugs. We always have to come down- always. So a lot of drug users are unhappy because they have to keep getting high in order to feel good- yet most of the time they are not high- so most of the time they don\u2019t feel good. A drug users life is not a happy life- a drug user doesn\u2019t feel good most of the time. Don\u2019t take my word for it- look at one of them for yourself.\nSo the key is to do what makes us feel good for extended periods. The most important thing is that we feel good- all of the time.\nOK- some people might be convinced that feeling good is the most important thing yet what does this mean practically? How does this affect my life- and how can I feel good most of the time?\nPractical Ways to Start Feeling Good\nStart slow and start with awareness. Just being aware of those things that make you feel good is a great first step. Also being aware of those things that you do that make you feel bad is a good first step too. Be aware of your feelings- what makes you feel good- what makes you feel bad. You don\u2019t even have to change anything just notice them- write them down. This is the most important thing you can do to start feeling good; be aware of your feelings. The next step is natural- when you are aware of those things that make you feel good do more of them when you are aware of those things that you make you feel bad do less of them. To have the best chances for success the slower the better\u2013 but also know that the key to change is perseverance.\nSlow steady change is the key to success.\nSo go forth and start to become aware of your feelings- and after awhile start to do more of those things that make you feel good and less of those things that make you feel bad. You are destined to win.\nIn love- -Wayne\nPrevious post: The Source of All Power\nNext post: Beyond words is peace",

Engineers at Volkswagen are selling what they claim is the world\u2019s most fuel efficient production car. The Volkswagen XL1 \u2018super-efficient vehicle\u2019 features new construction techniques, an innovative futuristic-looking body and hybrid drive-train to dramatically increase fuel economy.\nThe XL1 looks straight from the future and, in a way, it is. Technologically advanced materials like carbon fiber and magnesium make this car years ahead of anything else on the road. It boasts an impressive 261 mpg and is the most aerodynamic car on the road with a coefficient of drag of just 0.189. Visit Chapman VW in Scottsdale for more information.\nThe XL1 relies on a combination electric-diesel powertrain to achieve such high milage. A 27-horsepower electric motor can run the car for up to 31 miles before switching to the 48-horsepower two cylinder clean diesel engine. Gear heads might initially find themselves underwhelmed by the low power, but the insane aerodynamics and ultralight 1,753-lb body allows the car to cruise at 62 mph while using only 8.3 horsepower.\nOn the exterior, the XL1 hasn\u2019t changed much since it was first introduced as the L1 concept in 2009. But inside, the car looks very different. Most notably, the old tandem seats have been moved side by side to mirror regular two-seat cars. Originally weighing in at a svelte 837 pounds, the production car is double the original weight, but is also more efficient by 91 mpg.\nThe Volkswagen XL1 is not yet available in the U.S. To stay up-to-date, visit Chapman Scottsdale Volkswagen.\nTags: Chapman VW in Scottsdale, scottsdale volkswagen",

        "raw_content": "Filed Under alan hirsch, Brad Brisco, commission, deb hirsch, priest, priesthood, untamed\nWhen attempting to transition an existing church in a more missional direction I believe one of the topics of discussion must surround the concept of \u201cthe priesthood of all believers.\u201d For me the \u201cpriesthood of all believers\u201d is not just a theological perspective on there being no need for an earthly mediator to God, but I also understand it from a missiological standpoint. In other words, if we understand the church as God\u2019s agent sent into the world to participate in what He is already doing, then every member must be developed and deployed as missionaries into their local setting. The church is sent, not just collectively, but individually. Therefore, the church needs to be affirming and \u201ccommissioning\u201d every member to engage his or her local mission field.\nIn their book, Untamed: Reactivating a Missional Form of Discipleship Alan and Deb Hirsch tell a story of how they \u201ccommissioned\u201d the entire congregation of South Melbourne Restoration Community.\nAt South we took the \u201cpriesthood of all believers\u201d (that every person is a minister and needs to be released as such) seriously. This didn\u2019t mean that our community always lived this out, but it was a value we tried to live by (and at times used humor to reinforce). In order to drive this point home, one Sunday morning, as our community arrived for our gathering, we greeted each person at the door and handed them a two-inch-wide strip of white flexible card and a fastener. Many looked puzzled but decided to play along, wondering just what we were up to.\nA short time after the service began, Al asked everybody to stand up and fasten the white strip around their necks. He then proceeded to lead the whole church through an ordination ceremony. It wasn\u2019t quite what people were expecting, but that morning each and every person gathered at South was officially ordained into the ministry of Jesus. Once they were all ordained, they could dispose of the symbolic (and very unnecessary) dog collars and just live out their commission.\nHow else can we encourage people in the church to live out a \u201cpriesthood of all believers\u201d understanding? What things have you done to \u201ccommission\u201d people to mission?",

        "title": "Dark Buzz: Quantum gravity looks for a miracle",
        "raw_content": "Peter Woit recommends: Lance Dixon Explains Quantum Gravity\nWhat questions do researchers hope to answer with quantum gravity?\nQuantum gravity could help us answer important questions about the universe.\nFor example, quantum effects play a role near black holes ...\nResearchers also hope to better understand the very first moments after the Big Bang, ...\nOne has to realize, though, that processes on Earth occur at much smaller energy scales, with unmeasurably small quantum corrections to gravity. With the LHC, for instance, we can reach energies that are a million billion times smaller than the Planck scale. Therefore, quantum gravity studies are mostly \u201cthought experiments,\u201d ...\nWhat would be a breakthrough in the field?\nIt would be very interesting if someone miraculously found a theory that we could use to consistently predict quantum gravitational effects to much higher orders than possible today.\nAs you can infer, quantum gravity has no relation to observational science. All they are doing is thought experiments, and trying to do mathematical calculations that are consistent with their prejudices about the world. That supposed consistency is all they care about, as there is no observation or measurement that will ever have any bearing on what they do.\nScott Aaronson writes about partying with his fellow rationalists, and adds:\nhe just wanted to grill me all evening about physics and math and epistemology. Having recently read this Nature News article by Ron Cowen, he kept asking me things like: \u201cyou say that in quantum gravity, spacetime itself is supposed to dissolve into some sort of network of qubits. Well then, how does each qubit know which other qubits it\u2019s supposed to be connected to? Are there additional qubits to specify the connectivity pattern? If so, then doesn\u2019t that cause an infinite regress?\u201d I handwaved something about AdS/CFT, where a dynamic spacetime is supposed to emerge from an ordinary quantum theory on a fixed background specified in advance. But I added that, in some sense, he had rediscovered the whole problem of quantum gravity that\u2019s confused everyone for almost a century: if quantum mechanics presupposes a causal structure on the qubits or whatever other objects it talks about, then how do you write down a quantum theory of the causal structures themselves?\nThese are all unanswerable questions, of course. There is no such thing as a network of qubits. A qubit is an idealization that could be used to build quantum computers, if such a thing exists and can be scaled up. But replacing spacetime with qubits is just a stupid quantum gravity pipe dream that has no bearing on reality.\nThe Nature article says:\nA successful unification of quantum mechanics and gravity has eluded physicists for nearly a century. Quantum mechanics governs the world of the small \u2014 the weird realm in which an atom or particle can be in many places at the same time, and can simultaneously spin both clockwise and anticlockwise. Gravity governs the Universe at large \u2014 from the fall of an apple to the motion of planets, stars and galaxies \u2014 and is described by Albert Einstein\u2019s general theory of relativity, announced 100 years ago this month. The theory holds that gravity is geometry: particles are deflected when they pass near a massive object not because they feel a force, said Einstein, but because space and time around the object are curved.\nBoth theories have been abundantly verified through experiment, yet the realities they describe seem utterly incompatible. And from the editors\u2019 standpoint, Van Raamsdonk\u2019s approach to resolving this incompatibility was\u2009strange. All that\u2019s needed, he asserted, is \u2018entanglement\u2019: the phenomenon that many physicists believe to be the ultimate in quantum weirdness. Entanglement lets the measurement of one particle instantaneously determine the state of a partner particle, no matter how far away it may be \u2014 even on the other side of the Milky Way.\nNo, measuring a particle has no effect on a partner on the other side of the galaxy. It appears that people are so spooked by entanglement that you can babble nonsense and be taken seriously by a leading science journal.\nIt is not true that there is any incompatibility between relativity and quantum mechanics, in any practical sense. The supposed problems are in black holes or at the big bang, where much of we know breaks down for other reasons. There is no foreseeable way for a scientific resolution of what the quantum gravity folks want.\nHere is Aaronson's example of a test for quantum gravity:\nFor example, if you could engineer a black hole to extreme precision (knowing the complete quantum state of the infalling matter), then wait ~1067 years for the hole to evaporate, collecting all the outgoing Hawking radiation and routing it into your quantum computer for analysis, then it\u2019s a prediction of most quantum theories of gravity that you\u2019d observe the radiation to encode the state of the infalling matter (in highly scrambled form), and the precise way in which the state was scrambled might let you differentiate one theory of pre-spacetime qubits at the Planck scale from another one. (Note, however, that some experiments would also require jumping into the black hole as a second step, in which case you couldn\u2019t communicate the results to anyone else who didn\u2019t jump into the hole with you.)\nThis is science fiction from beginning to end. One rarely even knows the complete quantum state for a single particle, and never for anything complicated.\nVan Raamsdonk endorses the wacky idea that entanglement and wormholes are the same thing, on a different scale.\nThe rationalists (such as the Less Wrong crowd) grapple with their own futuristic compatibility problem. They are convinced that AI robots will take over the Earth, and then will have no use for illogical humans. So they are determined to improve the logical functioning of humans so that they will be able to coexist with the machine super-intelligence. I think that the robots will exterminate us when they discover that our leading scientists believe that detecting a particle can have an instantaneous effect on the other side of the galaxy.\nInstantaneous is not measurable, or observable. It should not be allowed in the arena of science any more than divine miracles as it does not pertain to observable change.\nIf you can't observe something, I would say your understanding is merely a second hand speculation at best, informed as it may be. If all you have is a model, you do not data about the actual subject at all, you just have data about your model.\nPhysics and much of science has now been consumed by very expensive thought experiments that will not benefit anyone other than the people getting the research money to pursue these experiments. The people who ultimately fund these 'experiments' will eventually begin to realize they have been had. History is also replete of what happens to charlatans when they are caught, It ends badly.\nI enjoy your blog. You made me laugh out loud several times.\nJ. Faust January 1, 2016 at 12:20 AM\n\"What would be a breakthrough in the field?\nIt would be very interesting if someone miraculously found a theory that we could use to consistently predict quantum gravitational effects to much higher orders than possible today.\"\nI'll give them the breakthrough they are looking for if they deposit at least $3,000,000 U.S. dollars into my bank account tax free. I have the equation ready to go for this and it accurately predicts gravity on the quantum level. Show me the money and I'll show you the unification you've been looking for for the standard model.",

This book is the culmination of over 8 years of photographing primarily young men and cityscapes in the town of Fall River, Massachusetts. Last winter, my partner Seth & I decided to start our own publishing company, Charles Lane Press, and to launch it with Fall River Boys. That decision - coupled with determination and our passion for the photo book - has brought forth this beautifully produced monograph. We have named our company Charles Lane Press after the tiny cobblestone street we live on in Greenwich Village.\nFall River Boys is what I consider to be a complete vision. All of our decisions have been made with quality in mind, and we feel that we have not compromised in any way with this book. It is the mission of Charles Lane Press to maintain the highest levels of quality - from the papers we select, and the craftsmanship of the German printers we work with, to the quality of our bindings and design.\nFall RIver Boys will be released in February of 2009 in an edition of 1200. It is comprised of 89 black and white tritone plates printed at a very fine 300 linescreen, and includes an essay by Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Cunningham. The book will be available for purchase only through the Charles Lane Press website and at select bookstores in the United States and Europe. Please join our mailing list here to be notified of the book's availability and events surrounding it's release .",

        "raw_content": "Review: Copy That by Helenkay Dimon\nPublisher: Harlequin, Harlequin Intrigue\nReturning from his latest Border Patrol assignment, Jeremy Hill seeks sanctuary in his twin brother's home. The last thing he expects to find is an armed man already inside, or Meredith Samms, a gorgeous tenant caught in the cross fire. Then he discovers that the gunman's attack is meant for his twin brother, who is nowhere in sight, and Jeremy must take matters into his own hands. Searching for his brother while trying to protect this girl next door, Jeremy finds himself caught up in the danger he'd become all too familiar with. In his world, everyone's a target and anyone can be a suspect, so Jeremy has no room for emotions. But what Meredith stirs within him may complicate this unexpected mission to the point of no return\u2026.\nThis was a pretty quick read and one that I enjoyed a lot. This book follows Jeremy Hill and Meredith Samms as they try to stay alive so that they can act on their attraction that quickly became so much more.\nJeremy Hill works for the border control and has lately been working under cover trying to bring down a bad guy. Now that bad guy is in jail and wants Jeremy\u2019s blood. Jeremy has a twin brother who works for the DIA and does black ops stuff so he\u2019s got lots of enemies as well. After the under cover operation wraps, Jeremy is given some time off for R&R so he heads over to the house that he co-owns with his twin brother Garrett and finds a whole lot of stuff that he wasn\u2019t expecting. Surprises that come with loud booms and lots of fire.\nIn the midst of all the booms and fires, Jeremy meets Garrett\u2019s tenant Meredith Samms and saves her life. He takes her under his protection and they get real close. There\u2019s attraction simmering underneath the surface and even though the timing is way off, it\u2019s there and there\u2019s really nothing that either of them can do about it.\nMeanwhile, Jeremy\u2019s twin brother is going through a rough patch with his fiancee\u2019 and he\u2019s trying to make things right at the same time that he\u2019s trying to keep everyone he loves alive because the bad guys took Sara (his fiancee) captive and so he had his hands busy trying to save everyone.\nFor such a short story, Helenkay Dimon did a great job with the telling of it all. Having to tell an entire story in such a short space can\u2019t be easy and while I wished for more at the end, I still enjoyed the story as a whole. There was action, there was steamy sexual chemistry with the main couple and an interesting backstory. It didn\u2019t take me long at all to finish the book because I couldn\u2019t turn the pages fast enough to find out what was happening next. This is why I don\u2019t read many Harlequins because a lot of the time, the shortness of the stories don\u2019t really work for me but this one did and I\u2019m glad.\nIf you\u2019re looking for something short with loads of action and steamy romance, this definitely fits the bill.\nThis book is available from Harlequin Intrigue. You can buy it here or here in e-format.\nWhat Are You Reading?

This book sounds great and I never read twins heroes in one book before. so looking forward to read this one.",

        "raw_content": "Outsource2india's design services reduces 50% in-house cost of reputed printing company\nAn online printing company based out of the United States needed a partner who could quickly complete an extensive project to redesign restaurant menus in a short period of time. They contacted Outsource2india to assist with this project.\nThe client is an online printing company that offers a variety of customized marketing materials and printed products for a wide range of businesses they work with. They needed someone to help with -\nDesign of more than 200 restaurant menus.\nCompletion of at least one restaurant menu design within 24 hours.\nDesign of logos that could help the restaurant owners market their brands effectively.\nThe project faced several challenges that required the Outsource2india team to make adjustments. These included -\nThe turnaround time was very short and each menu needed to carefully match the name, theme, and cuisine of the restaurant for which it was being designed.\nEach menu was 1-6 pages long - this created a more time consuming process for some menus than other, which proved difficult as well.\nThe client required design of logos as well for each of the restaurants. The team needed to fully understand the theme of the restaurants to effectively do this in such a short period of time.\nTo ensure the timely and accurate completion of the project, the Outsource2india team took the following steps in the development of the project -\nA free trial was provided to the client so they could evaluate the team's performance.\nThe client was fully satisfied with the results of the trial and the project moved forward with 2 designers assigned to work on the project exclusively.\nThe team proceeded to design each of the menus using Adobe Photoshop, before sending the files to the client for review.\nThe client then provided feedback for each menu and updates were made to finalize the menu designs.\nThe final round of quality check was performed by the Outsource2india Quality Assurance team before the files were shared with the client via Dropbox.\nAs a result of the Outsource2india team's efforts on this project, the client was able to reduce their in-house costs by almost 50% and clear their backlog of menu designs that were pending. The project was completed on time and at an accuracy level of more than 97%, fulfilling the client's expected benchmark.\nThe client was highly satisfied with these results and has since offered more work to the Outsource2india team, resulting in the securing of a large billing client.\nTo know more about our creative design and our expansive design services, contact us right away.

        "raw_content": "There will be enormous hurdles to overcome, not least the possibility that the suit will be judicially repressed in some way; squashed or stunted down to near meaninglessness. The defendants are men of power, with resources, financial, legal, and political, beyond most people's ability to comprehend. The Center and the plaintiff's lawyers will have to rely on support and donations from citizens of the world to finance the prosecution of the case.\nWere an inquiry into a crime of this magnitude to be properly conducted, by an arm of government or special prosecutor, it would require legions of lawyers and investigators, not to mention the support those people would have to rely on. Our aim is to conduct the lawsuit as our resources permit, appealing to the public to help us to replicate what a similarly disposed arm of government would bring to the task.\nThe attacks of September 11th were part of a complex and elaborate psychological operation that created in each citizen to a greater or lesser degree a fortress of denial, which has prevented many from any forthright attempt to investigate the truth about 9/11. Before justice will be allowed to breathe, that fortress must be destroyed. The Center for 9/11 Justice is dedicated to its demise. April Gallop's lawsuit is an effort in that direction. We will be reporting on it here.\nOn April 27, 2011, the 2nd Circuit affirmed the lower court's ruling. Its decision can be found under SECOND CIRCUIT DECISION below (Adobe PDF 107kb). As those who have followed the case will be aware, this decision was no surprise in its outcome, but the Court on its own motion and without the participation of the United States Attorney issued an Order to Show Cause (OSC) why SANCTIONS in the amount of $15,000 should not be imposed as a result of our having filed what the Court considers a frivolous lawsuit, the product of cynical delusion and fantasy.\nWe are ordered to file a response to the OSC in thirty days. The most important aspect of the decision is its failure to allude to, much less address, any of the many pages of factual allegations contained in the Complaint or in the Appendices attached to the Opposition to the Motion to Dismiss. Just as District Court Judge Denny Chin did in rendering his decision, Judge Cabranes fails to mention the three defendants at all, makes no reference to their conduct throughout the course of the crime, or their statements concerning that conduct afterward. Of course, there is, similarly, no mention of nanothermite having been found in the dust and debris at Ground Zero, in four separate, independently collected samples, and also escaping the Court's attention is the precipitous evaporation of WTC 7 at 5:20 PM that day, a textbook example of controlled demolition.\nIn the next week or so, we will file a Petition for Rehearing and En Banc Review before all of the judges of the 2nd Circuit. This will be an opportunity for the other judges on the bench to at least correct the appearance of Conflict of Interest that clothes the decision just made due to the presence on the panel of John M. Walker, first cousin of former President George H. W. Bush, and first cousin once removed of Former President George W. Bush, \"the responsible officer of government\" on 9/11, as President John F. Kennedy referred to himself after the Bay of Pigs disaster, and the man who put each of the three defendants in the position to commit mass murder and treason as, through our lawsuit, we are prepared to prove, should we ever be given the opportunity.\nUpdate on case as of March 26th, 2011: All of the papers on our appeal from the District Court\u2019s order dismissing the case have been submitted, and the Circuit Court has given us an oral argument date of April 5th at 11 AM in New Haven, Connecticut, at the Courthouse at 141 Church Street. The Court has allotted each side five minutes to present whatever arguments they have.\nIf our appeal fails, we will file a petition to the US Supreme Court. If our appeal is successful, the Defendants may be required to answer the Complaint, but there are other possible orders that the Circuit Court could make as part of its decision.\nOn March 15th, 2010, Judge Denny Chin dismissed with prejudice the case of Gallop v. Cheney, et. al., ruling that the Complaint was frivolous and based on \u201ccynical delusion and fantasy.\u201d The full text is posted under \u201cNews\u201d on this site. Anyone who has followed the case and supported the Center's efforts in this matter deserves a response to Judge Chin's decision. It follows. read here...\nThe Center for 9/11 Justice is a base for cooperative efforts to expose what its members and board believe are critical, strong, self-evident truths and un-truths about the attacks of 9/11: We believe they were in their essence an inside job supported by a vast, highly sophisticated and elaborate cover-up. Our aim is to expose the facts and evidence that we have learned, and demonstrate, to the extent we can, who was involved. The purpose of the Center is to help gather, formulate, and promulgate accurate and reliable survey, analysis, and marshalling of the evidence showing or tending to prove the great- grand-daddy conspiracy theory, maybe of all time.\nIn particular, the Center is supporting the efforts of a victim and survivor of the attack on the Pentagon, April Gallop, who is the plaintiff in a civil suit against high U.S. officials who appear responsible for the atrocities of that day, particularly the then Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, and Vice President Dick Cheney. April Gallop was a soldier assigned to the Pentagon on September 11th, her first day back from maternity leave. She and her two month old baby, Elisha, suffered serious head injuries as a result of the explosions that occurred at the Pentagon that morning. Ms. Gallop filed a lawsuit in the federal court in New York City against Rumsfeld, Cheney, General Richard Myers and others unknown. With its initiation comes the possibility of justice.\nNews | Complaint (Word Doc) | Complaint (HTML) | Press Release | Donate | Contact",

        "raw_content": "Chief Executive Karin Woodley Wins Lifetime Achiever Award at Excellence in Diversity Awards\nCambridge House Chief Executive Karin Woodley wins Lifetime Achiever Award at Excellence in Diversity Awards 2016 for contribution to social justice and fighting inequality 13/05/2016\nKarin Woodley, Chief Executive of Cambridge House, was awarded the Lifetime Achiever Award at the 2016 Excellence in Diversity Awards last week. Karin was recognised for her extraordinary contribution to the diversity and equality movement over a leadership career spanning 30 years.\nThe Excellence in Diversity Awards celebrate organisations and individuals that excel in their commitment to equality and inclusion across all strands of diversity.\nThe Lifetime Achiever Award honours an individual who has devoted a major portion of their professional life to enhancing the practice of equality and diversity, making significant, innovative, and cumulatively outstanding contributions to the cause.\nThe awards committee recognised that Karin\u2019s passion, experience, and innovative energy has driven a range of organisations working to broaden diversity and increase equality. Karin was also commended for inspirational and creative leadership, humour and care for others, along with her with strong political acumen, a dedication to human rights and energetic persistence. She has driven a number of significant changes at a community and statutory level in the arts, education, community empowerment, social action, and criminal justice sectors and she received the award to a standing ovation.\nKarin\u2019s contribution to Arts Diversity and Equality\nDuring the 1980\u2019s Karin\u2019s voluntary and professional roles helped to significantly:\nDismantle the barriers to arts participation by black Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) artists\nSupport mainstream arts organisations and government agencies to develop \u2018Ethnic Arts\u2019 policies\nTackle the multiple exclusions faced by BAME people who are disabled and/or are LGBT\nAs a young campaigner, Karin founded the Haringey Black Arts Forum, Haringey Disabled Artists Group and the Association of London Black Artists; chaired the West Midlands Ethnic Minorities Arts Service; was a Director of the Institute of Race Relations; and a founder and member of the Arts Council England\u2019s Black Disabled Artists Working Group. She worked to ensure that \u2018non-western artists\u2019 were given a voice and were able to work constructively with local, regional and national arts associations to develop policies and practices that reflected the rich diversity of cultural traditions in the UK.\nHaving been invited by Jeremy Isaacs to advise the Royal Opera House\u2019s education committee on engagement and participation in 1987, Karin lobbied the ROH to devise the schools open week, enabling charities and schools, disabled groups and BAME organisations from areas of high deprivation free access to ROH performances.\nInvited by Camden Council to help them recruit London\u2019s first \u2018Ethnic Arts Officer\u2019, Karin went on to establish an independent professional forum that successfully supported the appointment of ethnic arts officers in all the London Boroughs, and provided staff in these roles with a support and policy development network.\nIn 1986, the Labour Party asked Karin to convene an Ethnic Arts Group to advise them on the development of their policies for arts and culture. Karin brought together a group of arts practitioners who went on to work with the 1st BAME MPs in 1987 (Bernie Grant, Keith Vaz, Diane Abbott and Paul Boateng), as well as the SDP and the Conservative Party.\nIn 1986, over and above her work as Chief Executive of the Minorities Arts Advisory Service, as founder and Chair of the charity Arts Media Group Karin raised the funding that enabled publication of Black Arts in London and Disability Arts in London. Today, archives of these bi-monthly arts listings magazines provide an important record of the cultural events and activities that shaped the cultural profile of London during the latter part of the 20th century.\nKarin\u2019s contribution to Diversity and Equality in the Criminal Justice System\nIn 2000, Karin became the founding chair of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Police\u2019s first Independent Advisory Group on Race (2000-2005). Her dynamic leadership and mediation skills helped to build bridges between the Black community and the police.\nThis success in Kensington Chelsea led to the Home Offices in England and Wales engaging her to delivery anti-racist and partnership training.\nKarin\u2019s contribution to Diversity and Equality in Education\nKarin\u2019s visionary and inspiring leadership of the Tabernacle Centre was acknowledged by her being awarded the 2004 London Development Agency award for Black Business Excellence, Achievement & Mentoring; the 2002 highest achieving Adult Learning Inspectorate report nationally; and the 2001 European Social Fund /NIACE New Learning Opportunities Award in the category Young BME Adult Learners.\nKarin was appointed as the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust\u2019s first professional Chief Executive in 2005. During the subsequent four years she raised \u00a315 million in grants and donations so that the organisation could begin to achieve its mission to tackle the under-representation of BAME people in the architectural and built environment professions.\nKarin\u2019s tenacious pursuit of equality and diversity has included inspirational work on an international level:\nIn 1992 and 1993 in the lead-up to South Africa\u2019s first open general election in 1994; Karin joined a team of University of Amsterdam sponsored lecturers who were willing to risk working with illegal arts unions in Johannesburg to prepare black freedom fighters for roles in local, regional and national government.\nIn 2001, she was an international visiting lecturer in arts and humanities at Dillard University, an historically black university in New Orleans.\nIn 2013, she led a team of trainers providing citizenship and diversity training in Siberia for 13 to 16 years olds, funded by the EU.\nKarin continues to devote herself, beyond the call of duty, to diversity, inclusion and social justice. In addition to her work as Chief Executive of Cambridge House, Karin holds the following positions:\nCouncil Member of the Economic and Social Research Council\nVice Chair of Community Southwark\nMember of the Global Social Economy Forum\nTrustee of Locality (an umbrella organisation for building-based community organisations)\nFellow of the British American Project\nVice Chair of London South Bank University\u2019s Student Union\n\u2190 7 Things You Need To Know About The Housing & Planning Bill\nVideo Evidence \u2013 Magic IS Real! 19Plus Magic Show \u2192",

        "raw_content": "She always felt the same toward the end of summer \u2013 somewhere between melancholy and resigned. She knew she had to accept that it was over, but she didn\u2019t have to be happy about it.\nShe tried, various years, to pretend autumn wasn\u2019t coming, insisting it was still early August until well past the 20th, until people started to argue with her. It didn\u2019t matter anyway, how much she tried to deny summer\u2019s end. Even if she stopped looking at the calendar altogether, she felt it in her spirit \u2013 the slight shift of energy, that vague sense of impending change, the feeling of veiled urgency in those around her who were trying, as she was, to wring every bit of summer out of what was left. They crowded onto the beach, into the farmers\u2019 market, the pool, the museum, forced jollity thick in the air as everyone tried not to glance over their shoulder at what was coming.\nOddly, this autumn dread was a fairly recent development for her. As a child, she had enjoyed summer, like any kid, swimming and going to camp and chasing fireflies and savoring the faintly naughty feeling of staying up well past her school-year bedtime. But she had also loved autumn \u2013 going back-to-school shopping with her mother and sisters, picking out school supplies and stiff new jeans, wondering who her teacher would be, anticipating seeing all her classmates again. Autumn had always felt to her like a clean slate, a chance to start over, to be something she\u2019d never been, and to leave behind all the squirmy stuff she\u2019d rather forget.\nBut now\u2026 well, now she was crowding up on middle age, and autumn was just different. What had once felt like a beginning now was tinged with sadness, finality. She knew, in the part of her brain where she kept her rational thoughts, that the year was a circle, a cycle, and she\u2019d get summer back again in a few months. But like Brussels sprouts standing in the way of ice cream, it wasn\u2019t easy to swallow.\nShe\u2019d tried, last year, to cheer herself up by buying school supplies. At a tiny, ancient dime store downtown, she\u2019d found a cigar box and filled it with glittery pencils and a rubber eraser and a pen that wrote in pink ink that smelled like bubble gum, and in the very back of the store she discovered, with a little cry of happiness, a Big Chief tablet. Her feeling of elation lasted until she got home. Then she looked at her school supplies, remembered that she was 42, opened a bottle of wine, and spent the evening writing depressing poems and bubble gum-scented expletives in the Big Chief tablet.\nShe could easily identify when she\u2019d fallen out of love with autumn. She was just never quite sure why.\nMaybe it was the reminder that she was getting older, that her own seasons were changing. The color-shifting leaves now just made her dwell on her own mortality, on missed chances and wasted time, on spilled milk and spilled Chanel No. 5, on what had been and what never would be. These days, autumn wrapped her in a feeling of sadness and dread, and in quiet introspection that lasted until the first crocuses made their appearance.\nWell this year she wasn\u2019t going to let that happen. It was a spontaneous decision she made one morning as she drank coffee at her kitchen table, absently stroking the cat with her bare foot. This year she was going to learn how to love autumn again. In fact, she was going to start today. In fact, she was going to start right now.\nShe was filled with a sudden, surprising determination that carried with it a lightness she hadn\u2019t felt in ages. She was relieved, revived, reborn. In five minutes, she was dressed and out the door, her heart pounding hard. She knew what she had to do.",

[\u2026] [T]he fact that crimes may be substantially beyond prevention does not relieve a commander of his duty to prevent those which may still be prevented. [\u2026]\nDuty to punish / Investigate |\n302. [\u2026] Article 6 (3) of the Statute establishes a duty to prevent a crime that a subordinate was about to commit or to punish such a crime after it is committed, by taking \u201cnecessary and reasonable measures\u201d. The Appeals Chamber recalls that the interpretation of \u201cnecessary and reasonable measures\u201d has been considered in previous cases before ICTY. The \u010celebi\u0107i Trial Judgement found that:\n[A] superior should be held responsible for failing to take such measures that are within his material possibility\u2026 [T]he lack of formal legal competence to take the necessary measures to prevent or repress the crime in question does not necessarily preclude the criminal responsibility of the superior\u201d.[1]\nThe Appeals Chamber agrees with this interpretation and further notes that the Trial Chamber applied a similar approach when it found that:\nIn order to establish responsibility of a superior under Article 6 (3), it must also be shown that the accused was in a position to prevent or, alternatively, punish the subordinate perpetrators of those crimes. Clearly, the Trial Chamber cannot demand the impossible. Thus, any imposition of responsibility must be based upon a material ability of the accused to prevent or punish the crimes in question.[2]\nThus, it is the effective capacity of the Accused to take measures which is relevant. Accordingly, in the assessment of whether a superior failed to act, it is necessary to look beyond formal competence to actual capacity to take measures. [\u2026]",

As the Internet has grown, the issues have become broader, touching not only the PC, but mobile phones, tablet devices and gaming.\nWe cover Online Safety awareness throughout the curriculum, specifically in PSHE, SMSC and computing lessons.\nOur Healthy Minds Champions will deliver assemblies and support us in our work to keep our children and families safe.\nWe take the safety of our pupils and families seriously. There are many reasons why young people decide not to talk about incidents, whether that is due to not wanting to talk face to face, lack of confidence, scared, peer pressure or scared in case someone sees them talking to or seen in the schools office but to name just a few.\nAs a result we have created our own SHARP System page which allows young people to report any incidents which occur within the school and local community anonymously and without fear.\nAside from the reporting tool SHARP delivers educational content to raise awareness on a wide range of subjects including: Bullying, Health, Community Issues, Weapons and Hate Crime.\nThe SHARP System promotes inclusion, safeguarding, online safety and provides additional opportunities for students to report their concerns.\nOur SHARP Sytem page is undergoing some updates and will be back live again very soon.\nBelow are further resources for both parents & carers and children that highlight some of the issues related to online safety.

        "raw_content": "Collegiate Basketball Invitational Is Announced\nThe following is a press release sent to us by the organizers of the tournament. DraftExpress salutes the initiative is expecting to have at least one staff member present.\nWADSWORTH, OHIO---John McCarthy of McCarthy Sports Inc. in Delray Beach, Fla., and representatives from the city of Wadsworth, Ohio, are proud to announce the creation of the Collegiate Basketball Invitational to be held April 19-21, 2007.\nThe Collegiate Basketball Invitational (CBI) is a major national basketball event that will gather the finest 60 senior men's basketball players from all of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II and Division III and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The players will compete for three days in front of professional basketball representatives, agents (both domestic and abroad), and the national media.\n\u0093For me, this is a special day,\u0094 McCarthy said. \"It is a thrill for me to announce the creation of the Collegiate Basketball Invitational. This new national basketball event is truly unique and creates a wonderful opportunity for players from NCAA Divisions II and III and the NAIA. At the same time, bringing the best of the best all to one site at one time also creates a tremendous opportunity for professional teams and agents.\u0094\n\u0093The Collegiate Basketball Invitational will quickly become \u0091the event\u0092 for NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA players trying to get their shot at making it big in professional basketball. An invitation to participate in this prestigious event can be very valuable to players, as this will provide an opportunity on a truly national and international stage.\u0094\nThe event will take place at Wadsworth High School and will consist of six teams of 10 players competing in a double elimination tournament. Two sessions of two games each will be played both Thursday and Friday, with the championship game taking place Saturday at noon. The CBI will conclude with an all-star game Saturday evening in front of a live, national television audience. Twenty participants will be selected to play in the game.\n\u0093The Collegiate Basketball Invitational is simply a great opportunity for all those involved \u0096 players, professional teams and agents,\u0094 said the George Karl, Head Coach of the NBA Denver Nuggets. \u0093This event will bring together the best of the best from all of NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and the NAIA. I have seen many quality players from these levels thrive in the NBA, and I expect to see players that go through the Collegiate Basketball Invitational make the jump to the NBA and other professional levels in the future.\u0094\nThe players, selected by a 12-member committee consisting of four coaches each from NCAA II and III and the NAIA, will have a chance to follow in the footsteps of current NBA players from the same collegiate levels \u0096 Darrell Armstrong, Devean George, Ronald Murray and Ben Wallace, as well as Hall of Famers Earl Monroe and Walt Frazier, and future hall inductees Phil Jackson and Jerry Sloan.\n\u0093The NABC Board of Directors is very pleased to support the Collegiate Basketball Invitational,\u0094 said Jim Haney, Executive Director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. \u0093The event will provide opportunity and exposure for NCAA Divisions II and III and NAIA student-athletes that desire to play professional basketball after their collegiate careers are over.\u0094\nBasketball will not be the only event taking place during the CBI. The players will take part in a Tip-Off Banquet before the action begins Wednesday night. They will also be treated to in-room gifts, a team sponsor, and a host family with which the players will have lunch or dinner during their stay. Coaches, professional scouts and agents will also be entertained with VIP social events Thursday and Friday.\n\u0093Having an event of this caliber in Wadsworth reflects positively on our entire city. We all know that Wadsworth is an outstanding place to live and work,\u0094 Mayor of Wadsworth Jim Renacci said. \u0093This event will allow us to give the entire nation a glimpse of this great city.\u0094\nMcCarthy added his appreciation for Wadsworth, stating \u0093We want to make this a great experience for all those involved. The city of Wadsworth, headed by Mayor Renacci and the Superintendent of Schools Dale Fortner, has been working hard to make sure that the CBI will be a first-class event. To bring something to life that combines my passion for people, college basketball and my hometown of Wadsworth, Ohio, is a dream come true to me.\u0094\nGeorge Karl G\nDevean George SF\nEarl Monroe G\nWalt Frazier G\nJerry Sloan SF",

        "raw_content": "Today, software development is conducted in increasingly turbulent business environments. Typically, fast-changing and unpredictable markets, complex and changing customer requirements, pressures of shorter time-to-market, and rapidly advancing information technologies are characteristics found in most software development projects.\nContinuous software evolution and delivery refers to the organisational capability to evolve and release software in fast parallel cycles, typically hours, days or very small numbers of weeks. For example, lean start-ups release up to 50 times per days. This includes determining new functionality to build, prioritising the most important functionality, evolving and refactoring the architecture, developing the functionality, validating it, releasing it to customers and collecting experimental feedback from the customers to inform the next cycle of development. As reaching the goal of continuous evolution and delivery is a holistic endeavour, it cannot be addressed only by automating the release engineering pipeline, but requires changes across the whole development cycle, both before (even up until requirements) and after release. For example, reducing the scope of a release has to be done during requirements analysis, while prioritization of post-release bugs to resolve in the next release needs to be done once a release has been pushed to the customer.\nCSED 2016 will bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss challenges of continuous software evolution and delivery and exchange innovative ideas to solve them. The workshop is co-located with ICSE 2016, the International Conference on Software Engineering, in Austin, Texas. CSED will be a highly interactive workshop with a strong emphasis on discussions.\nIn summary, topics relevant to the scope of the workshop are as described above and specifically the following:\nprocess aspects and agile practices supporting continuous *\nWe are soliciting full research papers (up to 7 pages), position papers (up to 4 pages), and industrial talks (1 page abstract). Full research papers present original and evaluated research whereas position papers describe novel ideas, identified challenges, or experiences related to the workshop\u2019s theme. Industrial talks present challenges from practice and lessons learned. The paper has to follow the ICSE 2016 formatting and submission instructions.\nPlease submit your abstract and paper using the EasyChair page for the workshop via EasyChair.\nAccepted papers will be published as an ICSE 2016 Workshop Proceedings in the ACM and IEEE Digital Libraries. The official publication date of the workshop proceedings is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of ICSE 2016. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.",

While the task is simple, just pick up the toys and put them away, the child has a potential distraction in every toy he picks up. He want to please his mom and be able to go outside, but these are his favorite toys.\nAfter a bit, his mom comes up and finds that her son has completely stopped cleaning and is now immersed in his play. The potential distractions have caused the boy to completely lose track of his original goal.\nIn our Christian walk, we can lose track of our goal just like this boy did his. In spite of the libraries of writings on the subject, Christianity is really quite simple. However, satan loves for us to get bogged down in the details and completely miss the wonderful simplicity.\nWhen Jesus was asked what was the most important thing that God wants of His children, He replied, \u201cLove the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind\u201d (Matthew 22:37). He wants us to love Him with all we've got. Simple, right?\nYet the world has quite distorted what we call 'love'. In our world, love is thought of as something with strings attached and something that benefits self. But, real love doesn't work that way.\nConsider the mom that puts herself at risk to protect her children or the spouse that cares for their sick partner to the point that their own health is failing. In these cases, the person showing the love is sacrificing what they want and need, just because of their love. They are not seeking to get anything for themselves out of their efforts, they only want to put the interest of the other person above their own.\nThis simple, uncomplicated love is real love. This is the love that God expects from His followers.\nIt is much easier to 'love' the more tangible things of the world than it is to love a God that we can't see. We can easily find ourselves focused on the drama, the stuff and the concepts that we are immersed in, instead of maintaining our love relationship with the the God in heaven. After all, He is there and we are here.\nYet, it is unlikely that any of your friends or family ever died to save you. Nobody you know created the world you live in. None of the things we 'need' will help us live beyond the death of our bodies. No amount of money will ever unconditionally love us.\nLoving the things of the world is totally futile, but it is easy to do.\nLoving the Lord with all of our heart, mind and soul is not easy, especially when living in the midst of all the distractions of the world. Yet, the lord deserves our love because of who He is and what He has done for us.\nLoving the Lord is an act of faith. When we love the Lord, as He deserves, we are saying, \u201cYou are real, You are significant, You are God.\u201d Loving Him is an act of worship that affirms Him as King, Creator and Savior. Most important of all, loving Him this way, places us into right-relationship to Him.\nThere is no way that we can sacrificially love Him and serve our own interests above His. As we love Him with a love that puts His interests before ours, then we are automatically placing ourselves into a position of submission. As we love Him like this, then we walk the sentiment of Jesus' crucifixion-eve statement of, \u201cYet not as I will, but as You will\u201d (Matthew 26:39) when He chose to make His life submissive to His love for the Father.\nSimilarly, when we have this sacrificial love for the Lord, we will seek to please Him. It is by this desire to please the object of our love, that we make decisions to avoid sin. Sin is simply those things that seek to distract us from that simple love relationship. Sins are things we choose to benefit ourselves, but come at the expense of the love we have for the Lord.\nAs we love the Lord, we cannot help but see ourselves in relation to Him. When we humbly love Him, then we are automatically repentant. We cannot hold onto loving Him above all else, while hanging onto our own sinfulness. If we disappoint somebody we truly care about, seeking forgiveness is a natural process.\nThe love that Jesus spoke of, can't be a part-time, once a week or an as-needed thing. Having real love is a way of life. Love that can be turned on and turned off isn't real love. Just as a mother doesn't forget that she has children, when we have real love for the Lord, that love is always with us. The Bible speaks of us walking with the Lord, so that where ever we go, whatever we are doing, we are always loving the Lord and aware of His presence.\nEverything that we are supposed to be is wrapped up in this simple instruction to love the Lord.\nThe whole concept is so simple. To God, this is a yes or no question: do we love him or don't we? All those crazy questions that fragment and paralyze the church, need to have their significance compared to this most basic commandment. In spite of the fact that we cannot escape the Lord's love for us, we appear to prefer to have meaningless debates, than the simply love Him back.\nWe need to spend more time dwelling on who He and and the wonderful things He does. Then, we can allow the love for Him to well up in us. As we walk in a love relationship with Him, we will walk with an awareness of His presence in our lives. This is what we were made for. That is the essence of a life pleasing to God.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cEnemies\u201d: with no masks against Lula\nWritten by Nicanor Leon Cotayo // CubaSi\nOn Sunday, the head of the Brazilian Army, General Eduardo Villas Boas, stated that it was impossible for militaries to accept former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva\u2019s candidature.\nVillas Boas stated it while granting an interview to O Estado de Sao Paolo.\nHe also weighed as an \u201cattempt to meddle in Brazil\u2019s internal affairs\u201d the statement of the UN Human Rights Committee in Lula\u2019s case.\nThe digital newspaper Brasil 247 believes the stance of Brazilian Army explains somehow the attitude of judges in both the Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court by violating the statement of such Committee on Lula.\nOn September 1st, the Superior Electoral Court rejected the presidential candidature of the historical leader of Brazil\u2019s Workers Party by a majority vote.\nShortly after, the defense lawyers submitted to the Supreme Court two appeals against the decision, but both were dismissed.\nIn the words of the head of Brazil Army, the worst scenario for Brazil in the upcoming elections would be a candidate who could certainly \u201cjeopardize the legitimacy, stability, and governability of a future government dividing even more the Brazilian society.\u201d\nExperts noted that his words were inappropriate especially when Brazilian institutions are going through tough times.\nSo it has been evident in the massive street demonstrations demanding the freedom of Lula as well as his inclusion in the upcoming presidential election as candidate to the presidency of Brazil.\nWhen asked about the stance of the Army before a likely election of Lula as head of state in Brazil, General Villas Boas answered \u201cthe people decide at the polls.\u201d Nonetheless, he roundly denied the possibility of the Army interfering in the elections to be held in October.\nThus, it came to light one of the piece try hard to jeopardize Lula\u2019s rise as the leader of grateful citizens.\nTranslated by Sergio A.

The roads are cobblestone and there are no lanes. It\u2019s just a rush of traffic dashing in and out of openings in the traffic, sort of like an urban version of the Indi 500. Add to this cars that just stop in the middle of the road so the driver can run in and pick up a roasted chicken or the never ending parade of local buses that block lanes anytime someone wants to get off in front of this store or that one, the lack of stop signs and traffic signals, the kids playing in the street\u2014well, it can be a little stressful to navigate.\nSo here I am, both hands firmly on the wheel, playing Mexican chicken with other drivers as I dart through an intersection with no stop signs, deftly avoiding two or three feral dogs who came out of nowhere and the guys on the three-wheeled bicycle cart selling bags of agua de coco, and Carlos, who is sitting next to me taking it all in, says, \u201cHey, I could really go for a torta ahogada right about now and this is exactly the sort of neighborhood where you\u2019d find one.\u201d\n\u201cCarlos,\u201d I tell him, \u201ceven if you spotted one, I wouldn\u2019t be able to stop quickly enough and even if I could stop, there\u2019d be no place to park. There\u2019s no way.\u201d\n\u201cYeah, I know,\u201d says Carlos. \u201cBut they are so good and they remind me of my grandfather.\u201d\nThis was a low blow since I knew that Carlos\u2019 grandfather, who lived in Guadalajara where Carlos\u2019 family is from, had recently died.\nOkay, fine, I told Carlos. You look for a torta ahogada stand but you\u2019d better give me plenty of notice if you spot it because I\u2019m not going to just stop in the middle of the street like the rest of these drivers.\nFrankly, I\u2019d never had a torta ahogada, which is a Guadalajara specialty, but Carlos had been talking about them so much for the last few days that I felt like I\u2019d grown up with them. According to Carlos, they are a favored Mexican sandwich made with a very hard roll, called a birote salado, which has a thick, crunchy crust but a soft, doughy interior. The roll is sliced in half and piled with fried pork and maybe some raw onions and chile peppers, and then drowned in a very spicy sauce made of arbol chiles, garlic, tomatoes and, most importantly, vinegar. Ahogada means \u201cdrowned\u201d so when I say this sandwich is really dunked in this sauce, I\u2019m not exaggerating. Ideally the entire torta should be submerged in the sauce.\nSo anyway, we\u2019re driving through Puerto Vallarta but Carlos is having no success finding a torta ahogada place. And then just past the airport, in a little strip of malls surrounding a round-about, he spots this little fast-food place advertising torta ahogadas. The only trouble is that I\u2019m on the inside lane of three lanes of traffic and the entrance to the restaurant is ten feet in front of us. Nevertheless, I cut across the traffic, getting lots of pissed off looks and honking horns for my effort, and we make it. Carlos goes in and comes back a few minutes later holding a plastic bag that looks like something they\u2019d give you at the pet store if you went in to to buy a dozen goldfish, except the liquid is a bright red and on the bottom, looking like a sunken toy submarine, is the torta ahogada.\nThere\u2019s no way we\u2019re eating this in my car. So we stand in the parking lot, trying to figure out a way to gracefully dip a hand into the bag of fiery sauce and take a bite of the torta without having most of it dribble down your shirt, but there is no graceful way to eat ahogada so we just go for it, like a couple of stoners using our hands to rip into a chocolate cake. I thought it was pretty damn fine but Carlos says he\u2019s had much better in Guadalajara. Of course. So now I\u2019m thinking we may have to go on a road trip. To Guadalajara in search of the perfect torta ahogada.",

        "raw_content": "Episode 96 - Radio Sucks Radio Show volume 13\nAfter a full month of celebrating KISS, we're back to celebrating all things that rock. KISSMAS in JULY was a huge success and we're ready to now turn you on to some stuff you aren't getting on the radio.\nFor the new listeners, the Radio Sucks Radio Show's premise is simple. We expose you to some great quality music (old and new) that rock radio is just not giving you. We do this as a service to you, the listener, to encourage you to go out and purchase this great music and support the artist. Check the Amazon links for each artist played at the bottom of these show notes to hook yourself up with great tunes!\nWe start off volume 13 of this series with a palate cleanser for the non-KISS fans in our audience that endured a full month of us extolling the virtues of how much KISS rocks. Teenage Bottlerocket, from Wyoming, released an album in 2009 that featured a tongue-in-cheek punk ditty pronouncing the band as being 'Bigger Than KISS' with lots of jabs thrown at the band. We want to play this for the non-KISS fans and those of you that have a sense of humor. We love KISS, you know that. We think it's good to laugh at things you love once in a while.\nSupagroup, from New Orleans, started up in 1996. In this episode, we take a listen to a rock track that's sure to get you in trouble if you take it too seriously. Have a seat over there...\nOne of the benefits of rock/metal podcasts are the fact that you can get turned on to music that you certainly can't find on the airwaves. Such is the case with The Wildhearts. Fronted by the enigmatic Ginger, the band has gone through numerous lineup changes but due to Ginger's amazing songwriting, has continued to put out some of the catchiest rock songs you've never hears. We listen to a track from their self-titled debut that's easy to love.\nOne of our favorite interviews was with former Alice Cooper guitarist Dick Wagner. Dick has an amazing musical history with his connections to Alice, KISS, and Aerosmith among others. His solo output is also very good. We take a listen to Dick's take on a rock and roll classic that inspired him. This track comes from his autobiography 'Not Only Women Bleed' which is available HERE. Highly recommended!\nWe return from the first break to listen to a track from a modern-day power trio. Richie Kotzen, Mike Portnoy, and Billy Sheehan combine their chops to form The Winery Dogs. Their new release has already become one of the biggest rock albums of 2013; charting high despite limited airplay. We try to do our part in supporting this awesome release with a track that will leave you wanting more.\nAnother recently-released album that's getting critical praise yet not nearly enough attention on radio is ...Like Clockwork, the latest offering from Queens of the Stone Age. Picked up on Aaron Camaro's recent excursion to Los Angeles, the album has been in constant rotation on his playlist. We take a listen to to a sampling of this new album.\n2013 has proven to be a good year for rock and metal as Chris' next pick proves. With one of the more surprising releases of the year, King Kobra returns with a sophomore effort for their new lineup featuring Paul Shortino on vocals. King Kobra II has a full slate of solid material and we take a listen to the lead-off track that will run right over you.\nHeading into the next break, we hear from longtime Chicago doom metal legends Trouble with a track from their new release 'The Distortion Field.' Hailed by some as one of their stronger albums, we take a listen to a great track that will have you headbanging in no time.\nFor those familiar with the Decibel Geek podcast, it's no mystery that Chris has become a Thin Lizzy fan over the show's history. This is due to many listeners pushing him to check out their catalog. Now rebranded, The Black Star Riders, have released a new album with 'All Hell Breaks Loose,' an album full of dual-guitar leads and swagger; hallmarks of the Thin Lizzy sound. While Phil Lynott can never be fully replaced, it's hard to argue with Ricky Warwick's channeling of the gone-too-soon frontman/bassist on this new track.\nClosing out the show is a band that's long been a go-to pick for our Radio Sucks Radio Shows. LA Guns, with their ever-changing lineup, have released a massive amount of good tunes over the years. We couldn't think of a better way to close out this new installment than with this edgy track from the Shrinking Violet sessions.",

Your Excellency will have also been informed of the issues clarified by my Chief of Staff to your Special Representative on 16 December last week.\nAs you are aware, the implementation of the Algiers Agreements and the decision of the Boundary Commission have become stalled with no progress whatsoever for months now. This is solely because the Ethiopian government has flagrantly flouted international law and breached the Algiers Peace Agreements while it continues to occupy our sovereign territories by force. The stalemate or impasse that you alluded to in your letter has occurred simply because the international community, including your high office, has failed to take the necessary legal measures of enforcement that are warranted by the Algiers Peace Agreements.\nIf there really was a border dispute between Eritrea and Ethiopia, it has been settled through legal means. And, if and when the legal decision on the border dispute is implemented in accordance with the Algiers Agreements, the bilateral ties between the two countries will be fully normalized to contribute positively to the stability of our region. On the other hand, one cannot realistically contemplate normalization of bilateral relations when our sovereign territories remain occupied by force and the legal decision, as well as the rule of law, continues to be trampled.\nAs Your Excellency will agree with me, the matter cannot be a subject of mediation. A new mechanism to substitute the Algiers Peace Agreements and the decision of the Boundary Commission will not only be illegal, but it will also create a dangerous precedent. Indeed, we have no legal right to indulge in a new mechanism.\nThe only way that we can extricate ourselves from what you have termed as stalemate or impasse is when the international community compels Ethiopia to respect its treaty obligations and the rule of law, and ensure the implementation of the Algiers Peace Agreements.\nIn conclusion, I wish to urge Your Excellency again to shoulder your responsibilities and ensure the respect of International law and the rule of law.",

        "title": "Deleter News | World - Sports - Politics | Want To End Sexual Harassment? Landmark Study Finds Ousting 'Bad Men' Isn't Enough",
        "raw_content": "When sexual harassment happens, it\u2019s easy \u2015 and not wrong \u2015 to blame individual perpetrators, i.e., the \u201cbad men.\u201d And over the past couple of years, lots of men have been fired, demoted, arrested and publicly shamed for various acts of sexual misconduct.\nBut a major study from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine outlines a more comprehensive way of looking at sexual harassment within organizations and identifies the strongest predictor of such behavior. Surprisingly, it has little to do with individual perpetrators.\nThe study finds that the strongest, most potent predictor of sexual harassment is essentially the culture of the company \u2015 what the researchers call \u201corganizational climate.\u201d\nIf employees believe that their organization takes harassment seriously, then harassment is less likely to happen, according to the 311-page report released Tuesday. That faith in fair treatment acts as a deterrent against bad actors and encourages workers to speak up about harassment \u2015 key to keeping bad behavior at bay.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not about rooting out the bad apples; we need to focus on the whole barrel,\u201d said Lilia Cortina, a professor of psychology and women\u2019s studies at the University of Michigan and one of 21 experts who authored the report. \u201cWhen organizations really cultivate a climate that makes clear it will not tolerate sex harassment, employees are much less likely to engage in sexual harassment,\u201d she said.\nThe belief that a company will fairly handle harassment even trickles down to would-be perpetrators, who become less likely to actually harass anyone if they understand there are real consequences for bad behavior, added Cortina, who has been researching sexual harassment for nearly 25 years.\nFor the study, which began more than two years ago, a committee of scientists, engineers, doctors and experts in sexual harassment, law and psychology reviewed research published over the last 20 years in peer-reviewed journals. They also commissioned a survey of women in science, engineering and medicine who answered questions about their experiences. Additionally, they conducted an analysis of student and faculty survey data from two large state university systems.\nThe study uncovered a massive harassment problem in the sciences, particularly at medical schools, where students were most likely to be harassed, The Washington Post pointed out. More than 50 percent of the faculty members said they experienced harassment, according to the data.\nA Culture of Harassment\nThough the researchers focused on academia, many of the study\u2019s findings are also applicable to the private sector, which is grappling with its own sexual misconduct crisis.\nThese days, it\u2019s not hard to turn up real-world examples that match up with the researchers\u2019 findings. If you dig to the bottom of any of the recent news reports on men who\u2019ve been accused of sexual misconduct, you\u2019ll typically find a twisted corporate culture.\nAt NBC News, for example, it was widely known that \u201cToday\u201d show host Matt Lauer \u2015 who was fired for alleged sexual misconduct late last year \u2015 often behaved in ways that crossed the line into harassment.\nHe was \u201cflirtatious, would frequently make jokes, some with sexual overtones, and would openly engage in sexually-oriented banter in the workplace,\u201d according to an internal investigation that NBC conducted in the months after Lauer left the company.\nFor its investigation, the news network said it interviewed 68 current and former employees about Lauer\u2019s behavior. The report claims that no high-up executives were aware of his misconduct.\nThe NBC report, which was criticized for being conducted internally and not by an outside law firm, ultimately concludes that the company doesn\u2019t have a culture of harassment. \u201c[T]he investigation team does not believe that there is a current widespread or systemic pattern of behavior that violates Company policy or a current culture of harassment in the News Division,\u201d it says.\nBut the details in the report belie that claim.\nSeveral of the women interviewed said they believed Lauer was hitting on them, particularly by complimenting their looks in sexually suggestive ways. We can even see evidence of this on the \u201cToday\u201d show. The women said that after they deflected his advances, Lauer moved on.\nThe NBC investigators claim that this behavior doesn\u2019t rise to the level of \u201chostile work environment.\u201d Yet it does appear to be part of an atmosphere in which Lauer was permitted to act in ways that made women uncomfortable, and it\u2019s clear they had little power to change the situation.\nWhat\u2019s striking is that no one bothered to do anything about his behavior (except for former \u201cToday\u201d show co-host Ann Curry, who says that her complaint went ignored). Was it because Lauer\u2019s behavior didn\u2019t bother these women? No. They told investigators they feared retaliation and didn\u2019t think complaints would be kept confidential.\nThis is what is meant by organizational climate. Intentionally or not, NBC employees got the message that the company, which is mostly run by men, didn\u2019t want to hear about their problems with Lauer, a network star.\nIn an environment where employees fear retaliation and don\u2019t believe perpetrators will be punished, harassers \u2015 particular company stars \u2015 can more easily get away with bad behavior. Just look at the apparatus of lawyers and enablers that helped disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein get away with harassment and even sexual assault for so many years. Donald Trump wasn\u2019t incorrect in saying, \u201cWhen you\u2019re a star, they let you do it.\u201d\nWhen Men Outnumber Women\nThe second most potent predictor of harassment, the study found, is whether the men at an organization outnumber the women, particularly at the top of the org chart. That puts most big public companies at risk, especially in the male-dominated tech and finance sectors. If the profession is traditionally male \u2015 again, tech and banking serve as good examples \u2015 the chances of harassment rise.\nThe researchers helpfully define sexual harassment, too \u2015 it\u2019s a spectrum of behaviors, some of which are not illegal. It ranges from a pattern of hostile remarks about a person\u2019s gender to unwelcome sexual advances to requests for quid pro quo romance \u2015 e.g., have sex with me and I\u2019ll promote you; don\u2019t and I\u2019ll fire you. The researchers also identify \u201cambient harassment,\u201d in which people can be negatively affected even if they aren\u2019t directly experiencing any of those advances, but are still left to witness the abhorrent behavior.\nThe story of what happened at Uber tracks with this finding. After engineer Susan Fowler reported that her direct supervisor was coming on to her, she was told it was his first offense and that he was a high-performer. No real disciplinary action was taken. The company\u2019s stance on harassment was made clear.\nAs Fowler notes in her blog post, many women struggling to work in what was generally a hostile environment left the company rather than fight a losing battle.\nAt Nike, women were reportedly routinely mistreated, demeaned and under-valued. There were corporate outings to strip clubs, bosses who groped female subordinates and entire departments where women weren\u2019t welcome, according to The New York Times. There was a deep mistrust of the human resources department. \u201cSome avoided the department altogether, fearing retribution or convinced nothing would happen,\u201d according to the Times.\nThen, just recently, some female workers took it upon themselves to raise the issue with the sporting goods company\u2019s CEO, sparking a cultural upheaval.\nEditors and writers at The New Republic put up with Leon Wieseltier\u2019s sexual misconduct for years, according to reports, because no one thought the magazine would do anything to stop his behavior. Indeed, revelations about his misconduct only surfaced last year as the Me Too movement was kicking into high gear. He\u2019d already left the magazine, but the allegations prevented him from landing a new high-profile role.\n\u201cI think there was part of it that was out in the open that was culturally accepted,\u201d said former New Republic editor Franklin Foer. \u201c[T]here were, to my shame, a handful of times where I heard him talking about women in the office where I didn\u2019t object or didn\u2019t complain.\u201d\nIn other words, that\u2019s just how it was.\nBut it\u2019s not how it has to be. Since Fowler\u2019s blog post, Uber has gotten rid of its CEO, who was known for his bullying and offensive behavior. It commissioned former attorney general Eric Holder to investigate the company\u2019s culture and has made some headway into changing its ways.\nBuilding A Better Culture\nThe National Academies\u2019 study contains detailed recommendations for companies that truly want to root out harassment. First, make it clear what kinds of behaviors are not tolerated. It is not enough to merely say harassment isn\u2019t tolerated, but to offer detailed and clear examples. Facebook, for example, offers a list of unacceptable behaviors including insensitive jokes, slurs, unwelcome advances, leering and more.\nCompanies should also explain what the consequences are for misbehaving.\nCortina said that often, when a company claims to have a zero-tolerance policy, \u201cvictims of harassment will hesitate to come forward, fearing they\u2019ll get someone fired. It\u2019s counter-productive.\u201d\nBusinesses should also dispense with the secrecy and let employees know what sorts of actions have been taken. Too often, cases are settled and shrouded in nondisclosure agreements or secretly punted to private arbitration. Everyone is left in the dark.\nFinally, the study\u2019s authors recommend surveying employees anonymously to find out the scope of the harassment problem.\n\u201cTo transform a culture from being one of disrespect and derision to be a culture of respect, everyone needs to know where the problems are and what the flaws are so that everybody can be working on it,\u201d Cortina said.",

        "title": "Forty years since the coup in Chile - Dialogos",
        "raw_content": "Forty years since the coup in Chile\nSalvador Allende y Pablo Neruda\nForty years have passed since Chile\u2019s coup d\u2019etat in 1973 and the memory of the moment is still alive. And not only the memory of the historic event itself, but the diverse and specific circumstances that surrounded it. Proof of this are the numerous commemorations taking place around the world and of course in Chile itself, not to mention the fact that the political, social and economic conditions that brought Salvador Allende\u2019s People\u2019s Unity coalition to power are basically unchanged and will have another opportunity to be addressed in Chile\u2019s upcoming presidential elections.\nThe coup represented a breakdown in Chilean institutional life. It brought death and torture and subjected the population to nearly two decades of dictatorship. It resulted in the exile of many Chileans and made emblematic figures out of the most prominent protagonists of the aborted historic experiment, such as Salvador Allende, Miguel Enr\u00edquez, Pablo Neruda and V\u00edctor Jara. It is impossible to talk about the coup in Chile without reference to the political context that brought it about. And this means not only the breakdown of formal institutional democracy, which until then had been a tradition that had largely characterized Chilean history. Indeed, theocratic dictatorships can also be established by popular vote, and in many cases the various forms of Fascism of the last century enjoyed broad public support. But the coup in Chile was also basically a blow against the attempt to achieve a fair and equitable society with equality of opportunity (what has traditionally been called a socialist society), which has been pursued by various movements and abortive experiments that have largely shaped the recent historical profile of Latin America.\nIn its day, the government of Salvador Allende, who sought to establish socialism on the basis of popular support at the polls and within a constitutional framework, was considered an eccentricity, something without precedent, although there had been previous attempts. The Popular Unity government \u2013 whose name was taken from popular European anti-Fascist fronts and whose antecedent had been the FRAP (People\u2019s Action Front) in previous elections \u2013 seemed to open up the possibility of democratic change of the system on a continent plagued with dictatorships and failed revolutionary attempts by rural and urban guerrilla movements. But the coup d\u2019etat in Chile seemed to support the argument of those who argued that \u201cpower comes out of the barrel of a gun\u201d. Nevertheless, the defeat or dismantling of armed movements in Latin America and the rise in recent decades of a variety of progressive governments, some with socialist aims, elected at the polls and endorsed by constitutions, has turned the figure of Allende into a precursor.\nThe legacy of the dictatorship was ambivalent. It left as an inheritance a so-called economic miracle, a neoliberal project firmly entrenched in and protected by a constitution drafted under the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. This fact is directly related to and probably a concomitant cause behind Chile\u2019s status as one of the countries with the biggest income inequality, the most expensive education and the most deplorable record on environmental matters. But the coup also meant the country saw a massive exile that shattered Chilean society and deprived it of much of its political and cultural elite, much of which was traditionally associated with the left and had been active at institutional levels and in the social mobilization that led to and accompanied Allende\u2019s election in 1970. The coup had the effect of establishing Chilean communities in numerous countries and giving rise to a Chilean-in-exile culture (also with its political component), while also raising Chile\u2019s profile on the international scene, with well-known figures such as Roberto Bola\u00f1o, Ra\u00fal Ruiz and Isabel Allende. The Chilean presence has made itself felt in the countries of both the South and the North. In developed nations like Canada, this presence tends to be seen within a Latin American context, a fact exemplified by these words of Eduardo Embry, a Chilean poet who lives in the United Kingdom: \u201c\u2026 if only someone would take into account the titanic efforts of our communities to integrate into a hostile environment, with a different language and customs, questioning the role that Latin American ethnic minorities have played in different cultural spaces\u2026\u201d, and he continues, \u201chere in London, the Latin American press has played a very important role, as have the different cultural institutes directed by Latin Americans, promoters of human rights campaigns, against the dictatorship, against the torture and the crimes, etc., the artists and writers in London have played a worthy role.\u201d\nApart from its varied cultural contributions in Canada, the political aspect of the Chilean presence in the country has been expressed mainly in Quebec, whose francophone culture has more points of contact with the Chilean, due to the historical influence of Europe \u2013 and especially France \u2013 in Chilean ideas and culture, as is typical throughout Latin America. The former Bloc Quebecois MP Osvaldo N\u00fa\u00f1ez has been one of the most important promoters of voting rights for Chileans living abroad. In Canada, among the cultural contributions made it is worth noting \u2013 by way of example and limited to literature or, more specifically, poetry \u2013 the publication in Chile a few years ago of an anthology that brings together a large number of Chilean-Canadian poets, compiled by two Chilean authors based in Canada, and an anthology of Chilean poetry published in Chile at the end of last year, the first volume of which is dedicated to the generation of the diaspora (of the 1960s) and includes four poets who lived or now live in Canada, along with others living in Sweden, the United States, Mexico and France.\nThe impact on Chile of the phenomenon resulting from exile \u2013 the retorno, whereby many Chileans went back home after living and completing their education in the countries of the diaspora, has been significant at all levels of life in the country. The reintegration of the \u201cretornados\u201d has not been easy and it would seem that there is still a certain initial perception in the country that tends to identify the Chilean diaspora as \u201coutsiders\u201d, who escaped the repression of the dictatorship and found new opportunities in other lands. But it is undeniable that there are certain shared interests and channels of communication between many Chileans and their diaspora. Chileans living abroad still don\u2019t have the right to vote and many of them share a desire for greater recognition, participation and inclusion in the different aspects of society and culture inside the country, on which the global dispersal of Chileans and their reintegration upon returning has, incidentally, had a significant effect.\nAlthough it is obvious that Chile is not the same country it was forty years ago, both the memory and the basic social and economic contradictions covered up by the coup are still the background of daily life and events in the country. Thus, it is not merely the bitter memory of the coup that is commemorated this week, but its clear contemporary relevance, and it is not recalled merely with grieving but also with hope that perhaps, sooner rather than later, and without another bloodbath, the country might reinitiate the process of systemic change towards a just society begun all those years ago by the People\u2019s Unity government.\nWriter, poet and translator Jorge Etcheverry was born in Santiago, Chile in 1945. He arrived in Canada in 1975, where he completed a doctorate in literature at the University of Montreal. His poetry has been published in numerous magazines and anthologies and he is recognized as one of the most prominent figures in Hispanic Canadian literature. This Friday, September 13, he will be participating in a special event commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Chilean coup organized by the El Dorado Cultural Workshop and the Hispanic Cultural Network in Ottawa.\nOne thought on \u201cForty years since the coup in Chile\u201d\nFrancis Peddie on 2013/09/11 at 2:14 pm said:\nAn insightful article by a thoughtful man. Gracias, maestro Jorge. I wonder what you thought of Pi\u00f1era\u2019s apologia for the golpe in his address at the commemoration. It sounded very much to me like what the generals were saying in September 1973.",

Their voices are an echo of the struggles, victories and hopes of our peoples turned into song. Cantos Libres is held every two months at Casa Ma\u00edz. On September 19, Cantos Libros is proud to present the group Tayua.\nSecond-Class Canadians\nWith the passing of Bill C-24 last month, every immigrant who has obtained Canadian citizenship has now become a \u201csecond-class Canadian\u201d. According to this new law, ironically titled the \u201cStrengthening the Canadian Citizenship Act\u201d, the citizenship of many Canadians is actually now much weaker. The new law effectively divides the country between citizens who are definitive Canadians, i.e. people who were born here and do not have the possibility of obtaining citizenship from another country, who cannot lose their Canadian citizenship under any circumstances, and provisional Canadians: the millions of immigrants, including more than 300,000 Hispanic-Canadians, who were not born in the country or those who, although born in Canada, hold dual citizenship or are eligible for it, who can be stripped of their Canadian citizenship under certain circumstances at the discretion of Citizenship and Immigration Canada.\nThe Best of Mexican Popular Music Comes to Toronto\nThis summer, two of the most important artists in Mexican popular music are coming to Toronto as part of the Pan American Games\u2019 Panamania programme: Lila Downs (July 15) and Caf\u00e9 Tacvba (July 22). If your knowledge of Mexican music is limited to mariachi, this is a chance to expand your vision of the rich cultural heritage of a country with an increasingly significant presence in Canada\u2019s multicultural mosaic.\nPosted in Culture and Society, Events\t| 3 Replies\nMexico: Land of the Recurring Crises\nArmando Palacios-Sommer\nSeptember 2014 changed Mexico. The consolidation of a stronger nation, where democracy, the rule of law and human rights are respected suddenly became a distant dream. Mexico today is racked by economic instability, unemployment, states effectively at war (Guerrero, Michoac\u00e1n and Tamaulipas), others where rights and freedoms are suppressed (Mexico State and Veracruz), and a general contempt for the rule of law and respect for human rights (Iguala and Tlatlaya). What can explain the current situation? The general assumption is that the source of Mexico\u2019s current problems is its government. Is this true, or is there a deeper problem?\nThe orchid had been a gift from Mrs. Zarowsky, to welcome them to their new home. They didn\u2019t know much about plants, but they were grateful for the gift, which they placed beside the front door of the little two-bedroom apartment that the kindly old Ukrainian woman had rented to them. They\u2019d found the apartment in their first few days in Toronto, and the moment they met Mrs. Zarowsky, who had welcomed them so warmly, and the moment they saw the bright, cozy apartment, they knew it was just the place for them, and they signed the lease at once.\nPosted in Culture and Society, Hispanic Literature\t| 3 Replies\nDay of the Dead Festival in Toronto\nHarbourfront Centre celebrates the contemporary stories, rituals and practices of Mexico and other Latin American countries with Day of the Dead/D\u00eca de los Muertos Festival (Nov. 8 & 9). Produced in partnership with Scotiabank, Harbourfront Centre\u2019s two-day festival runs each day from 12 to 6 p.m. and offers patrons an opportunity to explore celebrations from Mexico, and other areas of Latin America, with handcrafted ofrendas, concerts, films, family activities and more.\nAn Important Precedent for the Future of Canada\u2019s Refugee Policy\nSince the 1970s, Canada\u2019s Hispanic community has grown from a tiny group of pioneering Spanish and Latin American immigrants to a vibrant, multifarious community of well over half a million. A key factor in the development of this community, which today has become such a vital element of Canada\u2019s multicultural mosaic, has been Canada\u2019s positive approach to immigration, and in particular, its historically compassionate refugee policy. Indeed, a significant proportion of the first major waves of Hispanic immigrants to Canada were refugee claimants from the military dictatorships of Chile, Argentina and Uruguay in the 1970s, and from war-torn El Salvador in the 1980s, who played an important role in building and consolidating an infrastructure for Hispanic arts and culture in this country, and whose positive contribution to their adopted home has added a very welcome dimension to Canada\u2019s cultural fabric.\nPosted in Culture and Society\t| 3 Replies",

        "raw_content": "22 THEBIGISSUE7--20MAR2014 WE'RE OLD LADIES now, my big sister Betty and I, 88 and 84. Luckily, we are still well enough to meet each week for Saturday lunch. Joining us is my young sister-in-law, Mary. She's only 83! Because my house happens to be in the middle, the other two usually drive to me. We take turns providing the main course, dessert, wine and chocolates. We discuss politics, children, cooking, our latest reading matter...anything and everything that interests us. But, inevitably, the talk comes back to memories. Mary and I share memories of the Nambour district, in Queensland, where we have both lived for 45 years, and of her side of the family. My late husband, Doug, whom I still miss every day, was Mary's twin brother. But it is when my sister Betty and I start to exchange reminiscences that things become interesting. Many of our childhood memories come in two completely different versions. So far, we have not worked out whether this is due to selective recall or the age difference! After all, four years can produce quite a different perspective when you are a child. Betty is a published writer. Several times, when reading her stories about her youth, I have found it necessary to point out that some incident happened to me, not to her. Her usual reaction is a smile, a shrug, an apology and the excuse of artistic licence. But usually she is genuinely surprised that this is my memory, not hers. The past year has produced several disruptions to our routine. Illness has caused a few changes of venue to one of the other homes; Betty does not like to drive in the rain. And it is accepted that commitments to events involving our younger generations, such as christenings or special birthdays at which our presence is required, will take priority over our own lunches. THEY LOOM LARGE in almost every news report these days: NASDAQ; the S&P 500; the GFC; Dow Jones; hedge funds; bulls and bears; and, most recently, from the US, fscal cliffs and pump-priming... Plus hundreds of other acronyms and terms. Reporters and business commentators chant them like ancient spells, but what on Earth are they all about? Most of us might just as well study the entrails of a sheep as try to work this stuff out; might be better off sitting with our hands over our ears and hoping for the best when some stock exchange necromancer cries: \"Beware the Ides of March!\" Aeons ago, in the late 1940s, it was all so much simpler. Back then, my brother Len and I were PWR students at Queensland Uni. 'PWR' stood for Post-War Reconstruction: Australia was re-building after World War II, frantically making up for housing and infrastructure shortages, helping millions of ex-service people adjust to civilian life, bringing in thousands of Displaced Person migrants to do the necessary hard yakka and become New Australians. Len and I were two of thousands in the universities' post-war intakes of ex-service-people, mostly men in their middle to late twenties. Len was not long back from New Guinea and I was, more or less, still foundering in civilian life after a couple of years in the AAMWS -- the Australian Army Medical Women's Service. (A quick retrospective 'thank you' here to Labor Prime Minister Ben Chifey and also \u2018Nugget\u2019 Coombs, his head of the Department of PWR, for our frst-in-the-family degrees.) I think Len and I more or less dream-walked into John Gifford's class in the newly established Economics Department in the Faculty of Commerce at Queensland Uni. Len was really flling in time until he could establish his own business; I dreamt of being a writer and had learned more about the economy, and with more passion, from Charles Dickens' novels than any Economics texts. But Economics seemed like a reasonable general knowledge subject. And Len advised me: \"All you really need to know is the Law of Supply and Demand; everything stems from that.\" It was Keynesian economics, of course. After the Depression we'd lived through as kids, and then the horrors of war, Keynes' words were Gospel. He stood for things like PWR, like welfare for the poor, like greater equity in education and health and immigration. For no more wars... At uni, members of the Labor and Radical clubs shouted at each other at raucous lunchtime meetings held to determine who would best implement this brave new world while the newly established Liberals -- scorned by all others -- warned us to look out for the Reds under our beds.

It was so long ago that the children from that play center are now moms and dads already. At the time we learned, travelled, socialized, grew, and developed. With a lot of love and enthusiasm, the long-term vision became reality and in 2002 we became the \u201cDje\u010dja igra\u201d private kindergarten.\nWe have changed, expanded our knowledge and experience, and analyzed every segment of our development. We started out with one group, and today we have three locations in Dubrava, and one newly opened location in Vrbani III.\nOur work has also been recognized by the authorized institutions. In 2007, the Ministry of Science, Education, and Sport named us the practice center for the Faculty of Teacher Education at the University of Zagreb for practical training of part-time students. Since 2010, our kindergarten has been permitted to conduct work experience for Pedagogy students from the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Zagreb.\nOther than verifying the basic ten-hour program, the Ministry of Science, Education, and Sport has also verified other programs:\nEnglish language learning as part of the regular program;\na short program of early German language learning;\nan extracurricular preschool program for work with preschool-aged children;\na sports program;\na rhythmic gymnastics and dance program;\nan educational, health, and recreational program \u2013 winter camp;\nan educational, health, and recreational program \u2013 summer camp.\nWith our continued joint efforts we have created a place for children and adults to live, play, and learn, while trying to secure surroundings where children, but also their parents and the teaching staff will feel welcome, satisfied, and happy. Our goal is aimed at respecting the diverse interests and abilities and the optimal development of all potential, abilities, and skills of each child.\nProfessional development and employee education are an important segment of the kindergarten\u2019s plan and program. Theoretical and scientific knowledge is important for our teachers to better understand and advance their educational work. For her continued professional development, teacher Ivana \u017darko was promoted to the position of mentor.\nAs we are aware of the fact that children spend an average of eight to ten hours daily in educational institutions, and taking into account that the spatial-material context affects children\u2019s way of thinking, feeling and behaving, we consider it important to offer children productive and diverse surroundings, which will allow them to gain various experiences. In each space, children can find a place for peace, relaxation, rest, as well as for playing, learning, and socializing with other children.\nThe teachers constantly supervise the children and record and document their activities. According to what they see, we implement various changes to improve the quality of the education of children in our kindergarten. In that way, we deepen our understanding of children\u2019s learning process, as well as our roles in that process.\nWe regularly organize visits to theaters, museums, libraries, and places that contribute to improving the quality of the educational work of our institution. Along with the regular ten-hour program, specialized and shorter programs, we also organize in-line skating, ice skating, skiing, and swimming courses throughout the entire academic year.\nWe place emphasis on the total development of children, aware of the importance of nutrition in the early years. We prepare healthy regular meals every day. Children are offered breakfast, where they can choose from several types of ingredients, lunch, a snack, and fruit.\nIn order for the sports program to be as high a quality and as fun as possible, the spatial and material conditions for its conduct have been secured. The gymnasium contains the didactic equipment necessary for conducting various exercises professionally designed and lead by educated trainers.\nFor nearly thirty years generations have changed, smiling children\u2019s faces have come and gone, and everyone has left their mark in the ongoing story. And they lived happily ever after...\nPlaying, exploring and learning\nApplication forms and much more\nWhat's cooking in our kitchen?\nEstablishing a high-quality partnership",

        "raw_content": "Figuring out how to forgive someone who really wronged you is not an easy thing. Most time we imagine that we are over it and have forgiven them but in most cases we usually hold a grudge against them. However holding resentment only hurts you the more. You only end up stressing yourself over it which cannot only cause psychological problems but also more serious health problems. It is therefore essential to learn the act of forgiveness and to avoid grudges.\nAcknowledge The Cause Of The Grudge.\nTo start with, try to find out the root cause of your grudge. You can only try to find a solution after you are aware of the problem. At times you may come to realize that you were just over reacting and holding a grudge over such a petty thing. Once you have seen the main problem you can then settle on a decision to push ahead from that point.\nConsider The Positive Side.\nEverything in life has its positive and negative side. Instead of getting angry other the whole issue, try and take it as an invaluable lesson to you. Take in an important lesson or leave with a superior understanding that can assist you to let go of the issue and not despise the one who wronged you.\nPut Yourself Into Their Shoes.\nAt times we may be quick at judging people when they do something bad to us but try fitting yourself into their shoes and you may get a better understanding of why they had to do what they did. This doesn\u2019t legitimize their actions; however it will assist you to comprehend it. The better you understand their intentions, the easier you will find it to forgive them.\nShare Your Thoughts With The Other Party.\nA grudge could be as a result of just a small misunderstanding or by confronting the issue the wrong way. Without being biased clarify your feelings on the issue. At that point, choose if this is something you will chip away at in your own heart or by reaching the other individual to come up with a solution. Wait until you have calmed down and then confront the other party in a calm and non-judgmental way. You may choose to solve it among yourselves or try involving a third party. But regardless of the approach, this will help you to get rid of the tension built up in you allowing you to feel more relaxed.\nFinally Forgive Them.\nObviously forgiveness does not imply that you will forget the whole incidence. It only means that you have accepted your disparities and acknowledged that we are all human who are prone to error. Forgiveness isn\u2019t easy but it is worth it. It allows you to get rid of that burden off your heart therefore giving you peace.",

        "raw_content": "Thousands join in at the 2017 People\u2019s Climate March in San Diego\nThe local version of the People\u2019s Climate March took place last Saturday at the Waterfront Park, 1600 Pacific Highway. At the 2014 Climate March, around 1,400 people attended. Organizers of this year\u2019s march hoped for 3,000 or so attendees - but those expectations were well exceeded, as the police estimated the crowd at over 5,000.\nThe march roughly coincided with the current administration\u2019s first 100 days in office, though planning for the march started well before last year\u2019s presidential elections. Organizers said that regardless of which party has been in power, progress on addressing climate change has been far too slow and erratic. Now, of course, because of the new administration\u2019s stance, progress on the issue is threatened more than ever.\nThe march\u2019s slogan was \u201cHealthy people, Healthy communities, Healthy Earth\u201d. The event began with music provided by the Peace and Freedom Chorus. California State Assembly Member Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, professor Jeffery Severinghaus from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, professor Jim Miller of San Diego City College, and Willow Lark, an environment-engineering student at SDSU, gave speeches. All spoke on variations of the theme of fighting climate injustice and affirming everyone\u2019s right to access clean air, clean water and healthy food; convenient, affordable public transportation and housing; justice and equality for all; and a living wage.\nThe march itself took a loop route, going east on Ash, south along Pacific Highway, west and Broadway, and then north back to the Waterfront Park. Following the marcher\u2019s return, speeches were given by Rev. J. Lee Hill, Jr., Community Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, Dan Sullivan, president of Sullivan Solar Power, and Esperanza Miranda, City Heights community member and Environmental Justice Promotora with Environmental Health Coalition.\nThese speakers called for specific actions, such as asking Mayor Faulconer to start a Community Choice Energy program to help achieve San Diego\u2019s commitment to 100% clean energy and to create local green jobs. They asked attendees to pressure state legislators to restructure SANDAG in order to enable reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation (AB 805). The final request was to call Senator Dianne Feinstein and urge her to oppose Trump\u2019s efforts to defund the EPA and instead support full funding for the EPA and its efforts to address climate change.\nThe march ended with a Native American dance ceremony, put on by Grupo Quetzalhuitzilin de San Diego.",

As a result, there are mixed messages being spread across the communities. The commission, as part of its public education campaign, has published the order in booklet form and is disseminating that leaflet at its consultations. The underlying idea, according to Anthony Ross, whose work with similar issues in Canada is well documented, is that there is no longer a conflict between the Maya people and the government.\nAnthony Ross, Consultant, Toledo Maya Land Rights Commission\n\u201cThe difficulty is that the Maya people seem to be getting two different messages. One appears to be that there\u2019s still a sense that there is something adversarial that\u2019s happening and we\u2019re of the view, the commission is of the view that we\u2019re past the adversarial process. You know, there is no longer any conflict, it is a matter of reading the order and recognizing that the order is something that has been put together by legal counsel for those who are advancing the cause of the Maya people and the government. They have come to their own conclusion as to how these matters should be resolved. It is represented in the order and it is our function to assist in giving life to that order. In my view, one of the most salient points is that it is a consultative process and it is not a consultation as to find out which is the starting point. The starting point is already defined, it is the order, and if we can get the other sides to come and we have a good understanding of both sides of what the order says and use that as a starting point. If things are to be added or subtracted that is something that could be considered, but by refusing to be involved in meaningful consultation it\u2019s really delaying really the start of the substantive process that could lead to resolution of some of these longstanding issues.\u201d\nLeaked Diplomatic Note: Guatemala says No Agreement Allowing Belizeans Access to Sarstoon\nBelize/Guatemala Territorial Dispute at 46th O.A.S.

        "raw_content": "God works in mysterious ways. This week, He brought a couple of things across my virtual radar and convicted me to share on my blog some truths I believe to the core of my being. These are not truths that have to do with education or technology, but eternity.\nI believe Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to earth and lived a sinless life, died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice to pay for humanity's sin for all time, and was resurrected from death as proof that God the Father accepted his sacrifice.\nI believe that when I leave this life I will go to Heaven and live eternally with God based solely on the sacrifice Jesus paid for me.\nI believe that anyone who does not put their faith in Christ's sacrifice will spend conscious eternity separated from God, which will result in eternal torment. In other words, Hell.\nThe first two things I listed above are nice and warm and fuzzy and easy to say. The last one is not. It is beyond difficult. But it is just as true as the first two things. It is not something I wish on anyone (nor does God), but it is truth, and if I am going to speak the first truths, then the last one must also be spoken.\nWhat things convicted me to post this on my edtech blog?\nAn article from Huffington Post, What if Jesus Really DID Rise? Reading it reminded me that not everyone believes what I believe. I tend to discuss these things only with people who do believe, like me, that Jesus rose from the dead on Easter over 2,000 years ago. But they already know it, so they don't need to hear it. Others do.\nA video from magician/comedian/entertainer Penn Jillette, an atheist who recounts a meeting with an audience member/fan who gave him a Bible, knowing full well he was an atheist. These words Jillette speaks cut me to the core:\nIf you believe that there's a Heaven and Hell and people could be going to Hell or not getting eternal life or whatever. And you think that, uh, well it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward. ...how much do you have to hate somebody to not proselytize them? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that everlasting life is possible and not tell them that?\nWhy do I think I should post about my Christian faith?\nWell, as I said, I felt compelled! But here are some ways I hope God might use this:\nTo demonstrate His love for anyone who comes across this post by exposing them to their need to believe in Jesus's sacrifice to receive eternal life.\nTo hopefully show those who aren't believers in Christ that those of us who proclaim faith in Christ aren't all hate-filled bigots. Those types of religious-folk, unfortunately, are the ones who get most of the media's attention. If you've come here because you are a regular reader of my blog or follower on Twitter or friend/follower on Facebook, I hope you know enough about me through my previous writings and/or our previous interactions to know that I am not hateful toward anyone.\nBecause as atheist Penn Jillette said, fear of social awkwardness, which I sadly confess I use as an excuse for not sharing my beliefs, should not stop me from telling people that I do believe everlasting life is possible for them. God's asking me to put myself out there. So, here it is!\nTo reassure other believing educators that they aren't out there alone. It can feel lonely sometimes, since we are expected to not speak of our faith in our work environments. But, you aren't alone! There are many of us; see just a few here and here and here and here!\nTo encourage conversation. I don't plan to debate Christianity with anyone (a debate assumes you can change someone's mind; my mind won't be changed, so no sense in debating!). I will, however, converse with people who have honest questions about the Christian faith, or talk with others of different faiths or no faith about how we should all be able to work together.\nThis blog is primarily about education and educational technology, and it is going to stay that way. So, if you are shocked at or uncomfortable with the topic of my post, please don't worry that you'll be bombarded with such posts in the future. If I become that compelled to write about faith on a consistent basis, I'll start another blog. (That being said, if you are uncomfortable with this post, I hope you'll take time to reflect on why...)\nAs Easter draws to a close (about 5 more minutes in my part of the world), I will close with words from How Deep the Father's Love for Us which we sang in church this morning:\nGod bless and keep you, my friends!\nLabels: Bible, Christianity, faith, religion",

        "title": "Book Reviews - Globalization Theory: Approaches and Controversies - Economic Geography Research Group",
        "raw_content": "Globalization Theory: Approaches and Controversies\nDavid Held and Anthony McGrew (Editors)\nPolity Press: Cambridge (2007), 288 pages. Paperback (\u00a316.99) ISBN: 9780745632117. Hardback (\u00a355) ISBN: 9780745632100. .\nReviewed by Karen Lai, University of Nottingham.\nInterest in globalisation processes and its theoretical and empirical impacts was at its peak in the 1990s amidst a flurry of intellectual debate and enthusiasm regarding a new internationalism. This was highlighted by the publication of Global Transformations: Politics, Economics and Culture (Held et al., 1999), the first volume in what was to be a successful series on globalisation and governance. Almost a decade on, more sobering accounts of the limits to globalisation, as well as comments on the \u2018end of globalisation\u2019 and the neoliberal world order especially following events of 9/11, have become common. However, the continued resilience and intensification of global economic flows and political linkages led the editors of Globalization Theory to argue that globalisation remains vital to explanations of contemporary change and human conditions, as an idea or discourse that frames as well as legitimises social and political action; this volume constitutes a counter response to the \u201cmany misguided and premature obituaries to globalisation\u201d (p. 2). It seeks to answer the question of how are contemporary globalisation processes and its consequences to be conceptualised and understood. Rather than a singular hegemonic political project, Held and McGrew point to the multiple forms of globalisation and argue that controversy about globalisation should be examined in terms of its making and remaking, and not simply its undoing. As opposition to the globalism project has become more widespread and generates its own sets of counter discourses, there is greater need to engage with different theoretical approaches, and examine the potential futures of globalisation.\nThe subtitle of the book, \u2018Approaches and Controversies\u2019, is a clear description the book\u2019s structure into two distinct parts. Part I highlights various theoretical approaches to globalisation with contributions and insights from scholars across the social sciences. The chapters deal with how process of globalisation might be examined through hegemony and world order, political economy, the reconfiguration of spatial scales, social constructivism and cultural analysis. The chapters in Part II adopt a more exploratory stance in evaluating the uneven impacts and future of globalisation. Focusing on various controversies and social and political issues that have emerged as a result of globalisation processes, the authors offer their thoughts on the possibilities of constructing alternative institutional frameworks for global redistributive justice. The two parts differ significantly in style and some might say that they read like two separate books. But the bold recommendations in Part II does juxtapose well with the more conventional style of Part I. Taken together, they offer a varied and thought-provoking range of contemporary theories of and prescriptions for globalisation.\nGiven that the book is edited by leading scholars in political science and international relations, it is not surprising that Part I is headlined by chapters utilising international relations, hegemony and work system approaches to globalisation. Chapter 1 grabs the reader\u2019s attention from the onset with a fresh theoretical perspective by Anthony McGrew. He highlights the oft-neglected role of organised violence in the making and remaking of globalisation by analysing the use of organised violence from European imperialism to events following 9/11. Arguing against the economistic and cultural perspectives that seem to have dominated globalisation studies, he adopts a historical and international relations approach in theorising how organised violence has been instrumental to the globalisation process and its implications for issues of security, the state and world order. This bold opening is followed by more conventional theoretical approaches in the next two chapters. In Chapter 2, G. John Ikenberry conceptualises globalisation as facilitated by US hegemony with the expansion and integration of the world economy following the Second World War. This is a classic international political economy understanding of the mutual constitution of global power structures and globalised world economy, although he questions this continued dominance as US hegemony becomes increasingly problematic and contested around the world. In Chapter 3, Alex Callinicos also adopts the approach of examining the relationship between economic rivalries and geopolitical conflicts. Although his analysis of neoliberal globalisation as being more than modern imperialism does offer many insights, his ambitious argument that opponents of neoliberal globalisation and imperial war should target \u201cnot just the American hegemony and the economic model closely identified with it, but the entire capitalist system that they sustain\u2019 (p. 75) is less convincing.\nChapters 4 and 5 focus on conceptual understandings of states and globalisation. Geographers will be familiar with the arguments in Saskia Sassen\u2019s Chapter 4 on the need for new spatial analytics in conceptualising globalisation processes. She calls for a multi-scalar approach to studies of the \u2018local\u2019 or \u2018national\u2019 that recognises the simultaneity of scales, spaces and relations in complex configurations of the global. The significance and role of the state in the context of globalisation is further questioned by Layna Mosley in Chapter 5 as she considers how trade and financial openness might influence national policy making. Using the case of financial globalisation, she argues that while global capital markets do influence government policy making, domestic institutions and interests continue to mediate such influences more than credited for. However, the political economy of globalisation and balance of power between global and domestic institutions and interests remain uneven across developed and developing countries.\nPart I finishes with social and cultural understandings of globalisation. Thomas Risse\u2019s chapter (6) on the discursive construction of globalisation utilises a social constructivist perspective to expose the taken-for-grantedness of globalisation discourses, which emphasises the potential for political change rather than the inevitability of globalisation processes. His argument should find a sympathetic audience with many social, economic and political geographers who adopt a similarly critical stance. In Chapter 7, John Tomlinson adopts a cultural perspective in examining cultural identities in a world of increased mobility and telecommunications, and argues that cultural identity should be regarded as a key institutional component of global modernity instead of the outcome of individual subjectivities. The globalisation process should therefore be analysed not only in terms of macro-social phenomena but should also include \u2018everyday lived experiences\u2019 (p. 164). Attention to the day-to-day context of cultures and lived experiences could provide insights into the sources of and possible solutions to conflicts.\nPart II of the book offers more normative and ethical reflections on possible responses to globalisation in terms of world political organisation, international relations, world poverty, and social justice. The chapters are of a more eclectic mix compared to those in Part I, but while Part I speaks from the head with insightful analysis of leading theoretical approaches to globalisation, Part II speaks from the heart with passionate prescriptions for a better future.\nMany of the chapters offer controversial views such as Michael Doyle\u2019s recommendations for different forms of political organisations for achieving liberal peace and democratic accountability in chapter 9. In Chapter 11, Andrew Kuper proposed eight solutions for new non-state approaches to organise and structure governance in order to extend justice and democracy across contemporary society. Although he rejects the claim that states and state-building can be dispensed with, he argues that nation-statism has been ineffective and inadequate. His proposals resonates with Doyle\u2019s and aim to harness non-state actors and reframe the political division of labour so as to introduce new forms of power, responsibility and mutual accountability. I find Thomas Pogge\u2019s article, in Chapter 10 on global inequality, particularly powerful as he reframes the institutional and social structures for explaining the persistence of world poverty and increasing gap between the rich and poor in the current global economic order. His call for personal moral reflection and individual responsibility for the persistence of a global economic order that contributes to the affluence of (some parts of) the developed world at the expense of billions living in poverty will certainly be a good catalyst for discussion and personal reflection. David Held\u2019s Chapter 12 also stands out in its optimism in prescribing a new framework of global governance, by replacing the original Washing Consensus and Washington Security Doctrines with a Social Democratic Agenda and Human Security Doctrine. Compared to Pogge, Held concludes on a more optimistic note and his bold and far-sighted recommendations constitute a fitting finale to a vibrant second half.\nMany of the arguments in Part II are bold but the proposed solutions are not always adequately explained. This could be due to the space constraints of having to fit into a succinct volume. In any case, the chapters should not be seen as detailed road maps for the future of globalisation but as bold efforts at reimagining different or better worlds in the making and remaking of globalisation. These proposals offer plenty of food for thought and would be very useful as a basis for discussion in tutorials, seminars and reading groups to spark off debates on the moral framing of globalisation and possible forms of governance in the pursuit of a more equitable global society.\nIn dismissing claims about the demise of globalisation post-9/11, Held and McGrew have certainly succeeded in demonstrating the continued relevance and impacts of globalisation by highlighting vibrant theoretical works and critical assessments of possible forms of engagement with and counter-responses to globalisation (in its multiple forms). I took on the review for this book with the objective of catching up on globalisation theories and debates from an International Political Economy (IPE) perspective. In this sense, the book does not disappoint as it is quite heavily weighted towards IPE, political science and international relations approaches. However, it also has a broader appeal as none of the chapters are too technical. The accessibility of the book is particularly useful for getting a quick flavour of IPE treatment of globalisation and then using references at the end of each chapter for further reading. The wide range of contributors also ensures a broad appeal and relevance of the chapters to students and scholars of sociology, and political, economic and social geography. This book should interest academics working on issues of globalisation, governance, social justice and global poverty, and policy makers interested in contemporary thinking on globalisation and its futures. Specific chapters will also be useful for advanced undergraduate seminars, although graduate students may find it more relevant and accessible.",

        "raw_content": "At the 2018 Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital investigators from the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Study Group presented diabetes-related findings from CAMELLIA-TIMI 61, a clinical trial of overweight and obese patients designed to test lorcaserin, a weight loss drug manufactured by the trial\u2019s sponsor, Eisai Inc. In addition to reporting sustained weight loss without an increased risk of major cardiovascular events, the TIMI Study Group also presented data showing that lorcaserin reduced the risk of diabetes by 19 percent in patients with pre-diabetes, induced remission of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes, and reduced the risk of diabetic microvascular complications such as microalbuminuria.\n\u201cWe recently presented findings showing that use of lorcaserin resulted in modest but sustained weight loss among obese and overweight patients without increasing risk of heart attack and stroke,\u201d said co-lead author Dr Erin Bohula, a BWH cardiovascular medicine specialist and a staff investigator for the TIMI Study Group at BWH. \u201cNow we report that, when added to lifestyle interventions, lorcaserin significantly reduced incidence of diabetes, increased rates of diabetes remission, and reduced the risk of diabetic microvascular complications.\u201d\n\u201cTaken together, these findings reinforce the notion that modest, durable weight loss can improve cardiometabolic health and supports the role of lorcaserin as an adjunctive therapy in chronic weight management,\u201d said co-lead author Dr Benjamin Scirica, a cardiovascular medicine specialist at BWH and senior investigator for the TIMI Study Group. \u201cIt provides another tool in the armamentarium, beyond diet and exercise, for patients hoping to achieve and maintain weight loss. And, happily, as we saw, even relatively modest weight loss can improve the diabetes control in those with diabetes and reduce the development of diabetes in those at risk.\u201d\nIn the Cardiovascular and Metabolic Effects of Lorcaserin in Overweight and Obese Patients-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 61 (CAMELLIA-TIMI 61) Trial, 12,000 overweight or obese patients at risk for a cardiovascular event were randomly assigned to receive either lorcaserin or a placebo. Patients were followed for a median time of more than three years. At the start of the trial, more than half of participants had diabetes and another third had prediabetes.\nAmong patients with prediabetes, lorcaserin reduced the risk of diabetes by 19 percent compared to the placebo (172 out of 2,015 patients taking lorcaserin developed diabetes versus 204 out of 1,976 taking the placebo). In addition, 9.2 percent of patients with prediabetes taking lorcaserin were able to achieve normal glycemic levels compared to 7.6 percent of patients taking the placebo (185 out of 2,015 vs. 151 out of 1,976). Lorcaserin also significantly increased the rate of remission of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes, with 7.1 percent of patients on the drug achieving remission compared to 6 percent of patients on the placebo (242 out of 3,385 vs. 206 out of 3,431).\nLorcaserin also reduced the risk of diabetic microvascular complications, which included persistent microalbuminuria, diabetic retinopathy or diabetic neuropathy, by 21 percent in patients with diabetes.\nPatients enrolled in the study had well-controlled diabetes at the trial\u2019s start, but lorcaserin still resulted in a net decrease in hemoglobin A1c levels (a measure of glucose control).\nHypoglycemia \u2013 dangerously low levels of blood sugar \u2013 were reported in 223 (6.6 percent) of the patients with diabetes who received lorcaserin compared with 199 (5.8 percent) who received placebo. In patients on insulin or a sulfonylurea, medications known to result in hypoglycemia, there were numerically more events of severe hypoglycemia requiring hospitalization or considered to be life-threatening with lorcaserin (12 events with lorcaserin vs. 4 events with placebo; p-value non-significant). The authors note that this finding highlights the importance of carefully titrating agents known to increase risk of hypoglycemia, especially while a patient is working to lose weight.\nAs previously reported, on top of lifestyle counseling, lorcaserin helped patients lower their weight by 4.2 kilograms (9.3 pounds) on average compared to 1.4 kilograms (3 pounds) for placebo at one year. Significantly more patients taking lorcaserin had lost at least 5 percent of their body weight (39 percent of the lorcaserin group vs. 17 percent of the placebo group) or at least 10 percent of their body weight (15 percent vs. 5 percent) at one year. Differences remained statistically significant through the length of the trial.\n\u201cGiven the global prevalence of obesity and its association with type 2 diabetes and complications that can cause death or greatly diminish quality of life, we need therapeutic strategies that can be added to lifestyle modification to prevent and control diabetes,\u201d said Dr Scirica. \u201cThis rigorous and large-scale randomized study demonstrates the potential for improving glycemic control when adding a weight loss agent to a treatment plan.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Encyclopedia > Scythia\nScythia is an ancient region of Europe and Asia, located between the Danube River and China. It was occupied by the Scythians, a nomadic tribe of horse-riding conquerors, invading many neighbouring areas in Eurasia, Mesopotamia and Asia Minor. Scythians were famous for their archers, and many were hired as mercenaries.\nArchaeological remains of the Scythians are generally limited to the elaborate tombs that they constructed, containing gold, silk, horses and human sacrifices. The preservation of some of the remains was improved by mummification techniques and by the presence of permafrost. The Scythians did not leave written records, but they were described in detail by Herodotus. It is believed that Herodotus histories reports very early use of marijuana by Scythians, also known in archaeological literature as the Saka. The Scythians may have migrated from Pazyryk.\nIt's said that the Scythians disappeared in the 1st century BC, but some scholars believe that their descendants are the Ossets[?] or Ossetians[?], and they are the only Iranians who still live in Europe. They call their country Iron, and are mostly Christians. They speak Ossetic, or as they themselves call it Ironig, or Ironski (=Iranian), which is classified as an Eastern Iranian language. Ossetic maintains on the one hand, some remarkable features of the Gathic Avestan, and possesses on the other, a number of words such as THAU (tauen to thaw, as in snow) and GAU (district, region) which are remarkably similar to their modern German equivalents.\nPicture of Scythian women attacking a tower.

(Xinhua/Xie Huanchi)\nVisiting Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks here on Tuesday with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa.\nThey agreed to take the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties next year as a new historical starting point, to promote the friendly cooperation to score more progress and open up a new chapter in the development of China-Portugal relations.\nXi said the two countries enjoy a long history of friendly exchanges, adding that since the establishment of diplomatic ties 39 years ago, China and Portugal have always witnessed win-win cooperation with mutual understanding, respect and trust.

The big success of co-branded credit cards introduced by both the banking industry and the retailing industry in Taiwan to increase revenues and expand the market shares. In order to promote the volume of department store co-branded credit cards, each department stores launch kind of product combination and loyalty program to attract more consumer visit and expand their money in the department stores. According to Taiwan Industry Economics Services (2013), among the department stores issuing the department store co-branded credit card, the first two leading enterprises are Shin Kong Mitsukoshi and Pacific SOGO department store and the market share of the former is 36.68% and the latter is 20.76%, respectively. Co-branding strategy can bring a lot of benefits to enterprises, thus department store co-branded with commercial bank. Such as: Shin Kong Mitsukoshi co-branded with Taishin International Bank and Shin Kong Bank; Pacific SOGO department store co-branded with Cathay United Bank respectively. Many previous studies focused on the strategic performance of the co-branded credit card or loyalty programs. Few studies explored co-branded credit card and loyalty program at the same time.\nThis study aims to investigated (1) consumer who have the department store co-branded credit cards of the first two leading department store, whether or not consumer\u2019s affective loyalty to the bank and affective loyalty to the department store will influences consumer\u2019s attitude toward the department store co-branded credit card. Whether or not this attitude will influence consumer\u2019s intention to continue to use the department store co-branded credit card. (2) Consumer who had only applied credit card issued by the bank which cooperated with the first two leading department store rather than department store co-branded credit card, whether or not consumer\u2019s affective loyalty to the bank and affective loyalty to the department store will influences consumer\u2019s attitude toward the department store co-branded credit card. Whether or not this attitude will influence consumer\u2019s intention to apply for the department store co-branded credit card. And (3) the participants who have experiences shopped in these two department stores despite they neither apply the credit card issued by the bank which cooperated with the department store nor the department store co-branded credit card before, whether or not consumer\u2019s affective loyalty to the department store will influences consumer\u2019s attitude toward the department store co-branded credit card. Whether or not this attitude will influence consumer\u2019s intention to apply for the department store co-branded credit card. Besides, department stores face fierce competition, thus these department store push many loyalty programs to attract consumers. This study will explore whether the loyalty program will interrupt the relationship between consumer's attitude towards the department store co-branded credit and intention to continue to use or apply for the department store co-branded credit card.\nThe results indicate that for those who had applied department store co-branded credit card and those who had only applied credit card issued by the bank which cooperated with the department store rather than department store co-branded credit card, both consumer\u2019s affective loyalty to the bank and affective loyalty to the department store indeed exert positive impacts on his/her attitude toward department store co-branded credit card, which in turn influence his/her intention to continue to use and/or apply for the co-branding card. Loyalty program will not enhance the positive relationship between consumer\u2019s attitude toward the department store co-branded credit card and intention to continue to use or apply for the department store co-branded credit card. In addition, for those who neither apply the credit card issued by the bank which cooperated with the department store nor the department store co-branded credit card, consumer's affective loyalty to the department store can induce his/her attitude toward department store co-branded credit card, which in turn influences his/her intention to apply for department store co-branded credit card. Furthermore, loyalty program will enhance the positive relationship between consumer\u2019s attitude toward the department store co-branded credit card and intention to apply for the department store co-branded credit card. Based on results of this study, the practical implications and suggestions for both the banking industry and the retailing industry are also provided in this study.\nMei-fang Chen - advisor\nMing-chuan Pan - co-chair",

The State of Bavaria, that owns the copyright, will be unable to further exercise any control over the publication, whether in German or in other languages. It is necessary to reach a decision about the future of the book: should it be banned or at least its circulation limited or, to the contrary, largely read, particularly by young people? In Paris, the Hate Prevention Initiative is working on a law, in collaboration with the Prime Minister\u2019s Office. This law should request the publication of a \u201cWarning\u201d in any newly published volume of Mein Kampf, including in the Internet. This event will also be an opportunity for a consultation on this initiative on a European level. This workshop, following a previous event held in Paris on September 12 2011 (http://carism.u-paris2.fr/manifestations/journees-detudes), will nurture the debate on this question, and by, first of all, describing the social and political history of the book. Historians, legal scholars and criminologists will consider and describe different aspects of Mein Kampf\u2019s troubled history, be it in the Third Reich, its translation in different countries around Europe, or its post-war reception and dissemination. It will also consider the issue of hate speech on the Internet: Mein Kampf is available online in different languages on various platforms. How can the free dissemination of the book be prevented?

        "title": "How to be Well Equipped for Funding Growth \u2013 Franchises",
        "raw_content": "According to the IFA\u2019s Franchise Education and Research Foundation, the Tax Cuts and Job Act of 2018 (TCIA) is having a positive impact on the future growth of the franchise industry. This is due to the cut in the corporate tax rate and certain benefits provided to owners of pass through entities, and the boost to household incomes that has increased consumer spending this year. This is a continuing trend, in that, the same report shows that in 2017 the franchise industry grew faster than the overall economy of the United States.\nWith the above trend growth predictions, multi-unit franchisee owners, more than ever, need to be well equipped for their own growth, whatever that may look like. Michael Iannuzzi, CPA, CFE, who is a partner and co-leader of Citrin Cooperman\u2019s franchise practice says, \u201cMulti-unit franchisees should be laying out a long-term profitability budget, and even more importantly a long-term cash flow budget so they can project what their capital requirements are to accurately fund and meet their development schedules.\u201d\nAlso, important when looking at growth is if you will have or will be creating additional debt. Iannuzzi\u2019s opinion for those going this route is, \u201cMulti-unit franchisees could be financing growth via debt (especially larger brick and mortar type concepts), and they tend to focus on the profit and loss statement and lose sight of the balance sheet. The debt along with other non-P&L items could put a cash strain on the business which could lead to falling behind on required income tax payments and related financial covenants tied to the debt. A business could be highly profitable and realize come tax time they have little to no cash to pay taxes because they were not properly budgeting for their cash needs related to taxes, and, no one may have been advising them throughout the year as to what their potential tax liability could be. The worst-case scenario is running out of cash and having to desperately sell off assets, which defeats the growth process.\u201d\nSimply put, when looking to grow, crucial factors to consider are:\nEvaluating if the path for growth is obtainable (i.e. will you be creating debt and if so through what vehicles)\nMaking sure you have the right business structure in place to ensure positive cash flow\nObtaining growth through brand or portfolio expansion is one of the fastest ways to ensure growth (and of course, debt).\nAnother avenue that garners growth is being involved IN and FOR your community. In a recent article, \u201cRemain a Positive Influence in Your Community\u201d we explored the importance of building relationships and rapport in the communities where you operate. Regarding the importance of community involvement, Iannuzzi offers, \u201cFranchisees should be getting involved with their local communities and networking and growing the brand locally. The national advertising fund is powerful, but franchisees should not be placing all their reliance on it, especially if they are in a new market for the concept which may have little to no national advertising funds being allocated to it. There is simply no substitute for getting out in the field and having people getting to know you and your concept and engaging with existing and new customers.\u201d\nIf you are looking to grow, or are in the middle of a growth season, consider the insights shared by Michael Iannuzzi of Citrin Cooperman. Be on the lookout for future installments where we partner with additional industry advisors on areas of your business in which you may need extra ears, eyes, or hands.\n\u2190 6 Traits Successful Automotive Franchisees Share\nHow To Grow Without Cannibalizing Your Sales \u2192",

        "raw_content": "This surreal-looking ice cave is located on the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia.\nA guide and a group of photographers found these caves by chance in late 2012. It was only by accident that the caves were discovered in the first place, the guide was said to have taken a route that was outside his usual plans. This same guide said that he would have trouble finding it now during the winter there is more that a meter of grey and dirty snow covering the entrance.\nWhat resulted was some of the most mesmerising images as you can see, but I\u2019ll let them speak for themselves. Don\u2019t be misconstrued by the Disneyesque light show, this is nature on show, a natural refraction of light producing all the magical colors of the rainbow on the roves of these caves. The caves look to be the work of a skilled craftsman, but is the work of the underground river sourced from a volcanic hot spring.\nThe almost kilometer long tunnel was formed by a hot water spring flowing beneath the glacial ice fields on the flanks of the nearby Mutnovsky volcano. Because glaciers on Kamchatka volcanoes have been melting in recent years, the roof of this cave is now so thin that sunlight penetrates through it, eerily illuminating the icy structures within.\nIt\u2019s hard to find many places in the world like this, visitors have said that the whole landscape shifts and groans as if it were alive with a beating heart. With this beating heart it will forever change. This thousand year old cave will constantly be exposed to the strong winters that Siberia throws at it so who knows what it will look like next year?\nSource: amusingplanet.com & 56thparallel.com",

        "raw_content": "England has the second most valuable squad behind France based on insurable value but is expected to fall short in the World Cup finals.\nLloyd\u2019s, the world\u2019s specialist insurance and reinsurance market, has today released research with the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) ranking teams in this year\u2019s FIFA World Cup based on the collective insurable value of players.\nThe England squad\u2019s total insurable value stands at \u00a31.17bn making it the second most valuable team in terms of insurable value.\nEngland\u2019s rise to second place has largely been driven by its youthful squad and the relatively high salaries paid to players in the Premier League. In terms of total insurable value the English side is ranked second, behind France (\u00a31.4bn), and the average insurable value of one English player is more than the entire Panama squad. This also marks an improvement from four years ago when England were behind Spain in third place.\nThe best online betting offers are available for England to finish top of Group G, the most valuable group in the tournament with a total insurable value of \u00a32.3bn, but are expected to lose out on a spot in the final to the eventual winners, France, in the semi-finals.\nEngland has notoriously failed to deliver in major finals and the team\u2019s high insurable value is at odds with its FIFA world ranking that currently places the team in 13th place.\nSimilar analysis was undertaken by Lloyd\u2019s and Cebr ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup which correctly predicted that Germany would be victorious.\nThe research also provides insights into the average insurable values based on positions and age of players. For example, forwards are the most valuable players, with their legs being worth \u00a319.2m on average, although midfielders have the largest share of total squad insurable value (38%). Players aged between 18-24 years old have on average the highest insurable value at \u00a320m.\nCebr used players\u2019 wages and endorsement incomes, alongside a collection of additional indicators, to construct an economic model which estimates players\u2019 incomes until retirement. These projections formed the basis for assessing insurable values by player age, playing position and nationality.\nThe analysis enabled Lloyd\u2019s to predict who would qualify from their respective groups. Thereafter, Lloyd\u2019s has plotted the path of each team in the knockout stages based upon their insurable values. The team with the highest insurable value in each match is the team Lloyd\u2019s predicts would win and progress.\nThe research was supported by Sporting Intelligence, who provided anonymised footballer salary data for each of the 32 teams participating in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, based upon an indicative 30-man squad for each nation.\nVictoria De\u2019Ath, Lloyd\u2019s Class of Business, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to see the \u2018Three Lions\u2019 in such good standing this year. England\u2019s earning potential dwarfs the majority of those in the tournament this year and is a partly due to the youthfulness of the squad and the financial power of the Premier League.\n\u201cI look forward to seeing how the team performs and whether or not Lloyd\u2019s predictions turn out to be true for a second tournament in a row.\u201d",

Matchday revenue for the year was \u00a3109.8m, a decrease of \u00a31.8m over the prior year.\nTotal operating expenses stood at \u00a3564m, an increase of \u00a352.7 million, or 10.3%, over the prior year whilst employee benefit expenses were \u00a3295.9m, an increase of \u00a332.4m, primarily due to player salary uplifts related to participation in the UEFA Champions League.\nEd Woodward, Executive Vice Chairman, commented: \u201cEveryone at the club is working tirelessly to add to Manchester United\u2019s 66 and Jose\u2019s 25 trophies. That is what our passionate fans and our history demands.\n\u201cWe are committed to our philosophy of blending top academy graduates with world class players and are proud that, once again, last season we had more academy graduate minutes on the pitch than any other Premier League club.\n\u201cOur increased revenue expectation for the year demonstrates our continued strong long-term financial performance which underpins everything we do and allows us to compete for top talent in an increasingly competitive transfer market.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Grimes Threw Away Her Whole Album: Links You Need To See\nEvents | By Shane Barnes | September 12, 2014\nThom Browne\u2019s recent runway show, plus Grimes!\nIt\u2019s Friday, September 14, and that means one thing: Fashion Week is over. Of course, Fashion Week happens every few months in New York City, so that really means nothing. But, there certainly is a lot of fashion-related stuff happening on the internet right now.\nFirst and foremost: electronic musician and sometimes-fashion muse Grimes has scrapped her entire new album and relocated to L.A. to work on a new batch of songs. Why the change in direction? Mostly, public reaction to her latest single, \u201cGo.\u201d As written in the Times, \u201c\u2019It upsets a lot of my fans, and I get why it upsets them,\u2019 says Boucher of the big, booming track. \u201cEverybody was like, \u2018Oh, Grimes is pandering to the radio.'\u201d\nBack to Fashion Week. One of the best things about Fashion Week is always Thom Browne. A lot of people think he only makes shrunken, gray suits, which, yeah, he does. But, if that\u2019s you, please, look at his runway presentations. I\u2019ve been obsessed ever since I happened upon the video of his three-legged pants, and his output has continued to just be bat-shit insane ever since. The fact that this happens, several times a year, is reason enough for Fashion Week to exist.\nThere\u2019s also this entertaining video from Jimmy Kimmel that humiliates select Fashion Week attendees for pretending to know about things that don\u2019t exist. But, let\u2019s face it. Haven\u2019t we all pretended to know who a Hip New Artist is, only for to a \u201cher\u201d as a \u201chim\u201d?\nAlso, Project Runway still exists. They are airing the thirteenth season of it, and it\u2019s actually not bad. Truly. In fact, last night\u2019s episode had probably one of the most magical moments in the show\u2019s history, all thanks to a gimmicky \u201crainway\u201d \u2014 yes, it\u2019s a runway with rain falling onto it. You can read about it here, or just watch it on Lifetime and experience it firsthand. It\u2019s worth it, and I don\u2019t want to spoil it for you.\nGrimes Jimmy Kimmel music news Project Runway Thom Browne",

        "title": "The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics - Fiber Optic Network Management",
        "raw_content": "Fiber Optic Network Management (For Managers)\nIn the FOA, as part of the fiber optic industry and especially in our role as educators, most of our focus has been training installers of fiber optic cable plants and networks in fiber optics. But what about the people for whom they work or build the networks? What do network managers, project managers, supervisors, network owners, IT personnel, facilities managers, network designers, estimators, inspectors, etc. need to know about fiber optics to ensure the success of their project?\nThe responsibility for the success or failure of any project ultimately lies with the project manager. We've seen quite a few instances of fiber optic project problems caused by improper management and many of the help calls we get at FOA indicate the manager's lack of knowledge of fiber optics. Some of the problems they call us about are amazing. An IT manager for a large metropolitan area found that the cable plant he had installed didn't work because it had 4,000 bad connectors. Another sent us OTDR traces submitted by his contractor for documentation that showed the cables were too short to test with an OTDR. In one big project, contractors subcontracted to firms that had no fiber experience who were digging up and breaking underground utilities daily.\nThese kinds of problems can be cured easily if the managers have some basic knowledge of fiber optics. They do not need a typical FOA fiber optic training course because those courses are based on KSAs \u2013 the knowledge skills and abilities needed by installers. What they need is just a basic understanding of fiber optic network design, installation, testing and operation.\nWho Is a \"Manager\"?\nThe manager may be the supervisor of a crew of installers building the network, of course, or the manager of a contracting company. There is the communications or IT manager who works for the owner of the network, specifies the communications requirements and has responsibility for the operation of the network after construction. The buildings or facilities manager overseeing the locations where the project is installed may be involved in its installation, operation and maintenance. In some cases, it would include the inspector overseeing the construction and approving it. In this category, we include anyone who is involved with the network and has responsibilities that include the fiber optic network itself.\nHere at the FOA, we get lot of calls from those kinds of people asking questions that show they need to know (and want to know) more - at least enough to make intelligent decisions regarding the project that affect its success. This article will cover what we think the bosses need to know based on what they have asked us.\nThe Basics - What Does A Manager Need To Know?\nFiber optic communications is quite simple. Instead of sending signals as pulses of electricity or radio waves, fiber optics uses pulses of light transmitted down a hair-thin ultra-pure strand of glass. Cables holding tens, hundreds or even thousands of fibers can be run underground, aerially on poles or even under water. Construction of a fiber optic cable plant is similar to that of any other cable and there are thousands of trained and FOA-certified techs available to build fiber optic networks.\nManagers need to know the basics, the jargon, and how to communicate with suppliers, contractors and installers. Forget the physics and optics - not even installers need to know the technology that makes fiber optic communications possible. Managers do need to learn about fiber optic components like the types of fibers (singlemode or multimode) used in various networks to ensure the proper ones have been chosen for the installation. We prevented a manager recently from ordering tens of miles of outside plant cable with the wrong fiber - multimode not singlemode. Hopefully a sales person, distributor or manufacturer would have questioned his choice but if not, he would be stuck with a large amount of virtually worthless cable.\nThey should also learn about cables and their applications. We've seen specs for direct burial armored cables that were to be pulled through conduit and non-armored cable designed into a project for direct burial. We've seen indoor cable specified for outdoor installation and outdoor cable specified for premises installation. You must know what is the proper cable choice for the installation.\nFiber optic connector compatibility is another important issue. Twice recently I have been asked by managers about the difference between PC (physical contact) and APC (angled physical contact) connectors and whether they are compatible. They certainly are not and may be damaged by mating to the wrong type. But try to find that advice on a manufacturer's or distributor's website - they expect everyone to know that already.\nThose can be expensive mistakes! A few minutes learning the basics from books or online at Fiber U or the FOA website can answer those questions and prevent some big problems. Or just call us at the FOA \u2013 that's what many people do.\nDon't believe the classic \"myths of fiber optics.\" I once jokingly threatened physical harm to the new editor of one magazine I write for if he ever published another article that said \"fiber optics is fragile because it's made of glass, is much more expensive than copper cables and is very hard to install.\"\nLet's kill off those myths once and for all. The pure glass in optical fiber is many times stronger than steel and fiber optic cable is much more flexible than coax or twisted pair copper cable. Even 30 years ago, fiber had the bandwidth and distance advantages that made communications over fiber optics cost only s few percent as much as over copper or microwave radio. Today we can put almost one million times more communications over fiber than back then. And finally, there are more than 100,000 skilled installers who have installed millions of miles of fiber and will attest to the fact that it's just another skill to learn.\nTo learn about the basics of fiber optics, start with Fiber Optic Jargon-Illustrated - learn to speak the language of fiber optics. Consider getting a copy of our basic fiber optics or outside plant fiber optics textbooks as a reference for your bookshelf.\nIt is at the design stage that the manager has the most important role in the success of a fiber optic project. This is not a time to delegate without oversight. The manager must be able to evaluate options presented and make decisions based on the input of many others.\nIf someone who works for you is designing a fiber optic network, they need to know whether it provides the communications capacity you need for today and over its projected lifetime. Are there enough fibers for spares and future expansion? Can the network support drops to new user locations? Has the network been designed optimally for both performance and cost? Are all the components chosen appropriate for the network. Is the network secure and are you prepared to restore outages? One good test is to create a scope of work (SOW) and send out a request for proposal (RFP) to some experienced contractors for comments.\nFOA has a complete textbook on fiber optic network design but the basics are summarized on this page in our FOA Guide online.\nFiber optic cable plants can be installed outside (called \"OSP\" for outside plant) or indoors (called \"premises\"). The OSP cable plant can be installed underground, aerial or under water. All have various techniques that can be chosen depending on the geography of the route or local requirements, for instance that all cables must be placed underground. Premises cabling is often a mix of fiber optics and copper cabling. It will be covered by codes like the NEC to ensure safety for those inside the building.\nThe FOA Guide has a section on Construction and another on Installation.\nHow do you evaluate contractors? The top of the list of requirements is experience in similar jobs backed by great references. Are their designers, managers and installers properly trained and certified? How much personnel turnover do they have? What's their plan for on-the-job training (OJT) for new recruits? Are they fully equipped for the job? What other jobs are they qualified for? Electrical construction and fiber optics are often done by the same contractor - although by different divisions of the same company - and may yield more efficient construction when electrical services are required in communications facilities.\nIf the contractor is chosen in a bid process, don't blindly choose the lowest bidder. Include in the RFQ (request for quotation) requirements for the bidders to include lots of information about the company that will allow evaluation of their ability to complete the job properly, including company history, personnel, structure, financial history, worker credentials, experience and of course references. We've seen jobs go to the lowest bidder where the contractor installed thousands of splices and connectors improperly, submitted erroneous test data, got paid and disappeared, leaving the network owner holding the bag. In another case of improper installation, the contractor went bankrupt when forced to redo the job correctly.\nEvaluating The Quality Of An Installation\nIf the contract covers both electronic equipment and fiber optic cable plant, the number one concern is if the communications system works as planned. Under any circumstances, the quality of the fiber optic cable plant needs to be evaluated independently. Every step of the way should be documented and inspected to ensure that the network was installed in a \"neat and workmanlike manner.\" The installation needs to be completely tested to confirm it meets the design goals and documentation of the test results presented along with the other project documentation. Fiber optic testing is a complex process that requires a trained and experienced tech to perform properly.\nHere is a summary of fiber optic testing procedures from the FOA Guide.\nToo many networks have inadequate documentation, insufficient to evaluate the installation, allow moves, adds and changes (MACs) or restoration in an emergency. Many managers and installers think the documentation is created after the network is built, but that's completely wrong. Network documentation starts when the idea of the network is conceived, evolves through the design, creation of the scope of work (SOW), RFP and RFQ (request for quote), installation and testing. Documentation should be one of the legal requirements of the contract for network installation. The installer should get the final payment only after they submit all the documentation required, not before.\nDocumentation must include the route of the cable plant and the type of installation (aerial, underground, etc.) and location of every component of the fiber optic cable plant including cables, splices, terminations, pedestals, manholes/handholes, etc. The documentation must include the path of every cable, every fiber in the cable (with color codes) and the test results from testing each fiber. If that sounds like a lot of work and a lot of data, it is, but that's what's necessary to determine what has been installed and if it was installed according to the plans. That data will be invaluable when changes need to be made to the cable plant or restoration must be done in event of an break.\nThere are software aids for documentation. Geographic information systems (GIS) are now widely used for for both aerial and underground utility locations and can be used to also locate the fiber optic cable plant. Other software for documenting the cable plant are available or one can create their own with database or spreadsheet programs. For premises cabling, software similar to that used for designing electrical systems are readily available and may be useful for some OSP applications. They offer the advantage of helping with estimating too.\nHere is some more information on project paperwork from the FOA Guide.\nOperating A Fiber Optic Network\nEveryone who converts to fiber learns fast that fiber needs virtually no maintenance. Fiber should be installed, tested, locked up and forgotten unless you need to modify the network or repair damage. Most damage to the network is caused by poorly trained techs working with cables they don't understand. Another major problem is damage outside your control - underground cables suffering what we in the industry call \"backhoe fade,\" or for aerial cables what a utility out West referred to as \"target practice\".\nIf you have damage, the most valuable tool you have for restoration is all the documentation on the network. With that you know exactly where the cable plant is installed and troubleshooting test results can be compared to the fibers when installed. Leftover components like spools of cable, splice closures or other hardware should be kept, stored with the documentation for use in restoration. And, of course, you need trained crews on 24/7 call, who have the skills to track down problem and fix them. If you don't have your own personnel who can do this, have a contract with someone who can and will respond quickly.\nHere is some more information on cable plant restoration from the FOA Guide.\nHow does a manager learn all this? You can learn by experience, of course, although that's often a painful way to learn. If your personnel are being trained, take a course with them. If you want to learn on your own, there is plenty of information on the FOA website and free self-study programs at Fiber U that can help you understand fiber optic project management. Here are some important topics to become familiar with.\nFiber Optic Jargon-Illustrated - learn to speak the language of fiber optics.\nDisclaimer: This information is provided by The Fiber Optic Association, Inc. as a benefit to those interested in teaching, designing, manufacturing, selling, installing or using fiber optic communications systems or networks.

        "raw_content": "a Russian / OPEC oil freeze, a Deloitte report on coming bankruptcies, why our oil output is holding up, and new records for oil & gas supplies again\nan agreement between Russia and a handful of OPEC countries to freeze oil production pretty much dominated most of the news out of the oil patch this week..in a well publicized secret meeting between Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi and Russian energy minister Alexander Novak in Doha on Tuesday, they agreed that they would freeze their oil output at current levels if other large producers would also agree to do so...since Russia had closed out the year with their oil production at record levels and Saudi output has remained near its August record high, their agreement in effect was to not make the glut worse by producing more, and not any indication of a production cutback...Qatar and Venezuela, who instigated the meeting, also agreed to participate under the same terms, though neither seemed to be on the cusp of an output increase anyway...although the US markets were closed for holiday on Monday, rumors of the meeting drove oil futures 1.1% higher to $30.15 a barrel in off market electronic trading, a rally which persisted briefly on Tuesday until traders realized that not much was likely to come of the agreement, sending oil down nearly 4% to close at $29.04 a barrel on Tuesday as hopes for an end to the glut faded...\nstill, since Ali al-Naimi, who has been CEO of Saudi Aramco since 1983 and the face of OPEC since the mid 1990s, was personally involved, we have to consider this as a serious attempt to get on top of the oil glut, as unlikely as it is to produce a binding agreement...although Iran welcomed the agreement to freeze oil production, they clearly wont do so themselves, believing the glut was caused by others who ramped up production while western sanctions forced them to curtail theirs; Iran is still expected to increase their production from last year's 2.8 million barrels per day to 3.3 million b/d by the end of 2016 and to 3.7 million b/d at the end of 2017.. initially, the United Arab Emirates\u2019 energy minister refused to discuss a cap to crude oil production, but by Thursday,the UAE had indicated their willingness to go along and Iraq also indicated it is open to freezing its oil production at January levels if big producers inside and outside of OPEC would do the same...with these large producers on board, US oil prices traded above $31 a barrel on Thursday before closing at $30.77 a barrel...still, OPEC members have historically cheated on such quotas, and even Russia said that even if the production freeze is agreed to, Russia would still be allowed to increase output by the rules laid out at Doha... so, with record oil inventories weighing on the market, oil prices fell back to close the week at $29.64 a barrel, just 20 cents higher than a week earlier...\none other piece of news we ought to mention before we move on to this week's reports was a new report published Tuesday by the auditing and analytics firm Deloitte that forecast more than a third of oil producers are at high risk of bankruptcy this year, as low oil prices propagate further losses and simultaneously restrict their ability to raise additional cash to pay their debts, which most of them have been able to do this past year... Deloitte looked at more than 500 oil and natural gas exploration and production companies worldwide and found that 175 of them, which have a combined total of more than $150 billion in debt, are likely to be heading for bankruptcy restructuring unless oil prices recover sharply...that would be an unprecedented number of failures, according to John England, vice chairman of Deloitte, who told the financial times \"We could see E&P bankruptcies surpass Great Recession levels as companies struggle to remain solvent\"\nas we mentioned last week, at least 67 U.S. oil and natural gas companies already filed for bankruptcy in 2015 and five more filed in January...this week saw Paragon Offshore, a Texas operator of drilling rigs from the Gulf of Mexico to the North Sea, file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and saw both Energy XXI Ltd. and SandRidge Energy miss interest payments...the rest of the excrement could hit the fan as soon as next month; a Bloomberg study of 61 shale companies in their index of North American independent oil and gas producers found that the industry must come up with $1.2 billion in interest payments by the end of March, or go to court to explain why the did not...Chesapeake Energy, the operator of more than half of Ohio's wells, is certainly one we expect to see seek protection soon; last week we mistakenly thought their report was due this week, but as it turns out, it wont be out until the 24th; by then, we should know how the rest of the frackers have done in the 4th quarter, so we'll take a look at their prospects for survival next week, once we have all the reports in hand.\nNew Records for Gasoline and Crude Oil Stores, and Why Oil Output is Holding Up\nthis week's stats from the US Energy Information Administration, delayed until Thursday because of the Monday holiday, showed that our supplies of crude oil and gasoline in storage have again both risen to new record levels, as our oil imports rose, our oil production slipped, and refineries increased their consumption of crude for the first time this year...as usual, the major reason for the increase in oil inventories this week was a big jump in our imports of crude oil, which rose by 795,000 barrels per day to average 7,919,000 barrels per day during the week ending February 12th, up from an average of 7,124,000 barrels per day during the week ending February 5th...while that was 11.5% higher than the 7,105,000 barrels per day of oil we imported during the 2nd week of February a year ago, oil imports are notoriously volatile week to week (as one VLCC tanker can be carrying more than 2 million barrels), so the EIA's weekly Petroleum Status Report (62 pp pdf) reports imports as a 4 week moving average...that EIA report showed that our crude oil imports averaged over 7.7 million barrels per day over the last 4 weeks, 5.8% above the same four-week period last year...\nat the same time, EIA data showed our field production of crude oil fell by 51,000 barrels per day, from 9,186,000 barrels per day during the week ending February 5th to 9,135,000 barrels per day during the week ending February 12th...that was our largest drop in crude output since the second week of October and leaves our crude production 1.6% below the 9,280,000 barrels per day we were producing in the second week of February last year, although it remains on a par with the oil production figures we saw in September and October...recall that last week we showed long and short terms graphs of our oil production, which showed that our domestic oil production rose from around 5 million barrels per day before fracking, to top 9 million barrels per day last November, where it has held fairly steady since, despite the fact that the number of new wells being drilled has dropped by more than 70%...this week a series of graphs from the EIA were posted at several oil sites around the web which go a long way to explain that apparent anomaly, so we'll include them here and explain what they mean..\nBakken crude oil output per well daily by month of production:\nthe above graphic, and the three below, all come from the EIA's monthly Drilling Productivity Report, and they are all constructed in the same manner; each graph has 10 production graph lines within it, one for each year since 2007, and a grey line for pre-2007 production, for each of the major 4 oil producing basins tracked monthly by the EIA...each annual line then shows the average production of fracked wells for that given year for each month that oil wells started that year have been in operation...thus in the graphic above for the Bakken, the lightest yellow line shows the average production record of all Bakken wells that were fracked and began producing oil in 2007; following along that line, we can see that in the first month 2007 wells began to produce, their output averaged 150 barrels of oil per day; by the time the 2007 wells were 12 months old, their production dropped to 75 barrels per day, and by the time they were 24 months old, their production had slipped to 50 barrels per day...go out to the end of that light yellow 2007 line, and we see that production of those 2007 wels had slipped to 30 barrels per day by the 60th month of operation, and presumably continues to deplete further to this day...(NB: my numbers are estimates; the data was not supplied)\nif we then look at the 2008 line, we see considerable improvement from 2007; wells started that year produced 250 barrels per day the first month, were still producing 125 barrels per day by the 12th month, 80 barrels per day in the 24th month, and were still producing nearly 50 barrels per day after 5 years had passed....production per newly fracked Bakken well then got incrementally better each year until 2015, when new wells were producing 440 barrels per day when first fracked, and still around 180 barrels per day 10 months later...so with that introduction to what these graphs show us, we'll include the similar graphs for each of the other major producing shale basins below, and then see what we can glean from them about the past year's - and future - oil production..\nEagle Ford crude oil output per well daily by month of production:\nNiobrara crude oil output per well daily by month of production:\nPermian crude oil output per well daily by month of production:\none observation that should be immediately obvious from just glancing at this set of charts is that the new wells that started producing this year have been more productive, sometimes considerably so, than the ones that started producing in 2014, which were in turn more productive than those fracked in 2013...for instance, the first month of production for 2013 wells in the Bakken was 320 barrels per day, it was then about 370 barrels per day for wells completed in 2014, and then rose to 440 barrels per day for wells brought on in 2015; for the Eagle Ford, the first month yielded an average of 320 barrels per day for 2013 wells, 370 barrels per day for 2014 wells, and 420 barrels per day for last year\u2019s wells; for the Niobrara, the first month yielded a 125 barrels per day average for 2013 wells, 170 barrels per day for 2014 wells, and 220 barrels per day for 2015 wells, and for the Permian, charted directly above, the first month averaged less than 100 barrels per day for 2013 wells, rose to 155 barrels per day for 2014 wells, and 230 barrels per day for wells completed last year...the reasons for the increases vary; crews are becoming more experienced at what they need to do to get an optimum yield, efficiencies in the methods continue to be introduced, and many frackers are now drilling and fracking longer laterals, obviously increasing the area fracked and hence the wells output...but what is pretty clear is that for these 4 major basins, less producing wells have been producing more, thus maintaining their total level of output...\nsince about 5 million barrels per day of our national 9 million plus barrels per day oil production is now from horizontally drilled and fracked wells, this increased production from each well that's brought on goes a long in explaining why our oil output has not fallen off more, despite the drop in the number of rigs actually drilling for oil from 1609 in October of 2014 to under 450 working rigs recently; every well that went into production this year was producing much more than the ones from prior years which were being slowly depleted...considering the fact that since the fracking operation, which initiates the oil flow, costs twice to three times as much as drilling the well, many companies actively manage their inventory of drilled wells and hold off on fracking until they can contract to sell the expected oil production at a suitable prices...a recent NY Times article puts the number of such drilled but uncompleted (DUCs) wells at 4,000 nationally, a figure consistent with other reports on DUCs i've seen from industry sources (ie, a December Rigzone article put the number of DUCs in the Permain alone at 2000)...the same NY Times article, focusing on Anadarko, says they began warehousing DUC wells and effectively storing oil underground since late 2014, when prices started tanking...it's reasonable to assume that other oil producers did the same; after all, who would want to blow the first few (& best) months of your fracked well production when oil prices have just gone in the tank?\nafter oil prices flirted with $40 a barrel in January and March of 2015, oil prices rose back to the $60 a barrel range in May and June, which coincidentally was when our oil output suddenly spiked and set a record with production at 9,610,000 barrels per day during the week ending June 5th...that's pretty good evidence that the $60 a barrel oil this spring brought out some of that production that had been being held back since late 2014...we'll repeat that oil production chart we posted last week, and a chart with oil prices over the last 18 months, so you can more clearly see how that worked out...\nthe above chart, which we posted and explained last week, shows in blue the weekly volume of our oil output from September 2014 through the week ending February 5th, while below we have a current graph of contract oil futures prices over the same period...we can see that the first drop in a 5 year run-up of our oil production from 5 million barrels per day to 9 million barrels per day started in March, when oil prices were at their lowest...then shortly after oil prices moved back up into the $60 a barrel range, oil production spiked to a new record high ('unexpectedly' to everyone writing about it then)...it appears that the $60 a barrel price was just enough to get producers to complete some of their DUC wells, a large number of which appear to have started production during the last two weeks of May, producing the spike we see on the crude chart above, and leading to the record production we saw in the week ending June 5th...then as oil prices tanked again in July, fewer new wells were brought on, and hence production fell back to the 9.1 to 9.2 million barrels per day range we saw in September and October, as that initial surge we saw in the production graph tapered off...\nwhat we can draw from this observation is that should oil prices rise towards $60 again, a large number of those 4,000 DUC wells will likely be completed (ie, fracked) and they'll start producing...as our production charts show, oil production in the first month after fracking has been averaging between 220 barrels per day per well and 440 barrels per day per well....should oil prices spike, then, it's certainly possible we could see an incremental increase in production of between 500,000 and 1,000,000 barrels per day, on top of what we're already producing...to put that amount into perspective, the threat by Iran that they'd be adding a half million barrels per day to the global oil glut is what caused oil prices to tank this winter, so it's possible US producers could easily add a similar amount themselves, should they start fracking their backlog\u2026of course, that would only exacerbate the glut, and hence drive prices down again...thus, absent an agreement between Russia and OPEC to actually cut oil production (or a war in the middle east, which is always possible), $60 a barrel, or whatever price it takes to bring the DUC wells to completion, certainly looks like a ceiling for oil prices for some time to come...\nto return to our weekly data, this week's reports showed that refinery processing of crude oil rose for the first time since the week ending December 25th, as US refineries used 15,848,000 barrels per day during the week ending February 12th, 338,000 barrels per day more than the 15,510,000 barrels per day they processed during the week ending February 5th, as the US refinery utilization rate also rose for the first time this year, from 86.1% in the week of the 5th to 88.3% of their operable capacity last week...our gasoline production rose again, from 9,553,000 barrels per day during week ending February 5th to 9,675,000 barrels of gasoline per day during week ending February 12th, 5.4% more than the 9,180,000 barrels per day gasoline production of a year earlier, and again the most gasoline we've produced in a week since December...likewise, our output of distillate fuels (ie, diesel fuel and heat oil) rose by 306,000 barrels per day to 4,663,000 barrels per day during week ending the 12th, which was also 34,000 barrels per day higher than our distillate production of the same week a year ago...\nwith the increase in production, unused supplies of both major refinery products also rose...our end of the week supply of gasoline in storage rose for the 14th week in a row, increasing from 255,657,000 barrels as of February 5th to a record 258,693,000 barrels as of February 12th....that was 6.4% more than the 243,132,000 barrels of gasoline that we had stored on February 13th last year, which was at that time a 15 year high for gasoline stores...likewise, our distillate fuel inventories also rose, increasing by by 1,399,000 barrels to 162,375,000 barrels, due to a combination of reduced demand for both heating and for oil field work, which itself is a major consumer of diesel fuel....while not a record, our distillate inventories are now nearly 35 million barrels, or 27.4% higher than the same week last year, and above the upper limit of their average range for this time of year...and even with the pickup in refining, however, we still had another 2,147,000 new barrels of crude oil left unused at the end of the week, and hence that was added to our already nearly full storage tanks to set another new record for our stocks of crude oil in storage, which rose to 504,105,000 barrels at the end of the week...our crude oil glut has been setting records like that on and off since January 30th of last year, when we first topped 400 million barrels of oil in storage for the first time in the EIA records...\nthe past week again saw another large percentage drop in the number of rigs drilling in the US, as it's clear that virtually no one in the oil and gas business can break even with $30 oil and sub $2 natural gas...Baker Hughes reported that their count of active drilling rigs fell by 27 over the past week to 514 rigs as of February 19th...that's down from the 1310 rigs that were drilling for oil or gas in the same week a year ago, and down from the recent rig count peak of 1931 rigs that were being worked on September 26th of 2014....another 26 rigs that had been drilling for oil were pulled out this week, leaving 413, down from the 1019 oil rigs that were deployed on February 20th last year, and down from the fracking era high of 1609 oil drilling rigs that were working on October 10, 2014...gas rigs were down by 1 for the week, leaving 101 gas rigs still drilling on February 19th, down from 289 gas rigs that were working a year earlier, and down from the 356 gas rigs that were deployed on November 11th, 2014...\n17 more horizontal rigs were stacked this week, after 25 were stacked last week and 29 were stacked the week before that, cutting the count of active horizontal rigs down to 416, which was down from the 979 horizontal rigs that were deployed the same week last year, and down from the recent high of 1372 horizontal frackers that were drilling on November 21st of 2014....in addition, 9 vertical rigs were taken out of service, leaving 50 on February 19th, down from the 203 vertical rigs that were deployed at the end of the 3rd week of February a year ago... and a single directional rig was also pulled out, leaving 48, down from the 128 directional rigs that were in use last February 20th...\nof the major shale basins, the large Permian basin of west Texas and eastern New Mexico once again saw the greatest reduction, as 7 more rigs were idled there, still leaving 165 rigs still drilling there, which was still down from 362 rigs working in the Permian a year earlier...in addition, the Eagle Ford of south Texas saw 4 rigs pulled out; that left the Eagle Ford with 54 rigs, down from 160 a year earlier...the Williston basin of North Dakota had 3 rigs pulled out and stacked this week, leaving the Williston with 36 rigs, down from 123 a year ago and down from 220 rigs at the Bakken peak...2 rigs were removed from both the DJ-Niobrara of the Rockies front range and the Mississippian of southwest Kansas and bordering states; that left the DJ-Niobrara with 16 rigs, down from 39 a year earlier, and the Mississippian shale with 8 rigs, down from 48 a year earlier...single rigs were pulled out of the Cana Woodford of Oklahoma and the Barnett Shale of the Dallas-Ft Worth area; that left the Cana Woodford with 33, down from 43 a year earlier, and left the Barnett with 3 rigs, down from 11 rigs on February 20th of 2015...and someone decided to push their luck and added 2 rigs in the Granite Wash of the Oklahoma-Texas panhandle region; that brought the Granite Wash back up to 10 rigs, which was still down from the 36 rigs drilling in the Granite Wash on the same weekend a year ago..\nthe Baker Hughes state count tables show that Texas got rid of a net 12 rigs, still leaving 236 in the state as of the 19th, down from the 576 rigs that were deployed in Texas a year earlier...North Dakota saw 3 rigs pulled this week, leaving 36, down from 119 a year ago...Louisiana and Mississippi both had 2 rigs idled this week; those reductions left Louisiana with 45 rigs, down from 109 a year earlier, and Mississippi with one rig still drilling, down from 7 on February 20th of 2015...finally, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming each saw one rig pulled out this week; that left Colorado with 19 rigs, down from the 47 rigs that were drilling there a year ago, left Kansas with 7 rigs, down from the 18 deployed in the state a year earlier, left Nebraska with 1 rig, down from 3 rigs a year ago, left New Mexico with 21 rigs, down from 72 a year earlier, and left Wyoming with 10 active rigs, down from the 35 rigs deployed in Wyoming last February 20th...\nDynegy Jumps into FirstEnergy, AEP \u2018Bailout\u2019 Fray - \u201cIn response to the exorbitant and counter-productive subsidies currently under consideration for FirstEnergy and American Electric Power (AEP),\u201d Houston-based Dynegy announced that it is offering two counter-proposals to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) that it claims \u201cwill save the state\u2019s ratepayers billions of dollars over the next eight years, promote and protect Ohio jobs, aid in Ohio\u2019s compliance with the Clean Power Plan, and encourage consumer and business growth.\u201d Dynegy is owns and operates 35 power plants in eight states nationwide \u2013 California, Connecticut, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and Pennsylvania \u2013 all of which are natural gas-fired or coal-fired.. The company is jumping onto the bandwagon after Exelon Generation intervened (Docket No. 14-1297-EL-SSO) in the ongoing, contentious FirstEnergy rate case late last month \u2013 asserting that it could offer ratepayers a better deal. The first proposal would, the company said, save Ohio consumers and businesses $5 billion by providing the same amount of power promised under the FirstEnergy and AEP power purchase agreements (PPAs) at lower prices \u2013$2.5 billion each in the FirstEnergy and AEP territories \u2013 over the eight-year term of the proposed PPAs. The power provided under this proposal \u201cwould be generated by Ohioans, at Ohio plants, for Ohioans,\u201d Dynegy said, adding that it \u201cowns about 5,400 MW at 10 different sites in Ohio \u2013 more than FirstEnergy\u2019s 5,300 MW \u2013employs hundreds of Ohio workers, and is the third largest retail electric provider in the state.\u201d Furthermore, Dynegy said, its power plants \u201cuse the region\u2019s vast fuel supplies, including its abundant and clean natural gas, providing further benefits to the state.\u201d\nOhio Senate candidate in GOP primary wants to raise fracking taxes - Columbus Dispatch - A Republican Senate candidate in Franklin County says it\u2019s time for legislative action to increase the severance tax on fracking, an issue that remains contentious for Ohio leaders. Aaron Neumann, a management consultant running for the open 16th district seat currently occupied by term-limited Sen. Jim Hughes, is proposing an incremental increase in Ohio rates until they are \u201con par with neighboring states'.\u201d\u201cWe want to and will keep our markets competitive, but the current severance rates as dictated by the legislature are unsustainably low and we only have one shot to get our money\u2019s worth for these precious resources,\u201d Neumann said. \u201cA modest increase and smart investments will ensure that the whole state benefits while the communities who put in the effort receive their fair share of the reward.\u201d Lawmakers and Gov. John Kasich have been butting heads for three years over the severance tax, which Kasich has repeatedly tried to raise, calling the current rate a \"total and complete rip-off to the people of this state.\"\nInjection well appeal rejected by Franklin County court - athensnews.com: The Athens County Fracking Action Network had another appeal of the K&H Partners injection well near Torch ruled against in a Franklin County court last week. Frankin County Common Pleas Judge Patrick Sheeran ruled that the Ohio Oil & Gas Comission lacks jurisdiction over a permit ACFAN was appealing. The permit had been issued by the Ohio Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management in 2013 for a second injection well by K&H Partners at its site in Troy Township in eastern Athens County. ACFAN appealed that permit to the Ohio Oil & Gas Commission. The commission asserted that the permit was a drilling permit and not an injection permit and so the commission lacked jurisdiction to consider an appeal of its issuance. A drilling permit allows the creation of the well while an injection permit allows oil-and-gas horizontal hydraulic fracturing wastewater to be injected into it. The Franklin County court upheld the commission\u2019s stance that the permit appealed was for drilling the well only. Sheeran said that the state Legislature had not given the Oil and Gas Commission authority to hear drilling permit cases. ACFAN\u2019s next legal move could be to appeal Sheeran\u2019s decision to the 10th District Court of Appeals in Franklin County. The group has not indicated yet whether they intend to do so.\nHere's The New Study The Fracking Industry Doesn't Want You to See - Though fracking industry proponents scoff at any intimation their so-called vital industry poses even scant risks to the public, a new study published in Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology just proved those critics right \u2014 fracking wastewater causes cancer. Using human bronchial epithelial cells, which are commonly used to measure the carcinogenesis of toxicants, researchers confirmed fracking flowback water from the Marcellus Shale caused the formation of malignancies. After conducting further tests on live mammalian subjects, researchers found five of six mice\u201cinjected with cells transformed from well water treatments developed tumors as early as 3 months after injection,\u201d including a tumor in one mouse that grew to over 1 cm in size in just five months. A control group did not develop any tumors for the six months of the study period. According to the study, performed by scientists from the Department of Environmental Medicine, as well as Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmaceutical at New York University, the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School at Rutgers, and esteemed partners from universities in China \u2014 results indicate fracking flowback water causes cancer. Implications of the report\u2019s findings would be difficult to overstate considering how fracking wastewater is generated, stored, and treated, and how often spills, leaks \u2014 and even the wastewater injection process, itself \u2014 can lead to contamination of the potable supply. A concise but thorough explanation of the fracking process can be found in the introduction to the report, \u201cMalignant human cell transformation of Marcellus Shale gas drilling flow back water,\u201d which states: HVHHF is an advanced technology that creates fractures in the rock that extend out as far as 1000 ft away from the well. The pressure is reduced after the fractures are created, which allows water from the well to return to the surface, also known as flow back water [or flowback]. The flow back water contains complex proprietary chemical mixtures, but also naturally occurring toxins such as metals, volatile organics, and radioactive compounds that are destabilized during gas extraction. On average, 5.5 million gallons of water is used \u2026 to hydraulically fracture each shale gas well, and 30% to 70% of the volume returns as flow back water.\u201d\nMarcellus jobs market takes another beating -- Low natural gas prices just keep hitting oil and gas industry workers in the Marcellus Shale. The state Department of Labor figures show 2,262 fewer oil and gas jobs when comparing quarter two of 2015 to 2014. Cabot Oil and Gas announced in a press release a 58 percent reduction to $325 million as opposed to $774 in 2015. The company plans to drill about 30 wells in 2016. Cabot plans to drill 25 wells in the Marcellus Shale and 5 in the Eagle Ford Shale and complete a total of 55 wells. By mid-February of this year it is expected the rig count will be reduced to one total rig in the company. According to StateImpact and Stephen Beck, a US oil and analyst for IHS, Cabot\u2019s reduction is significant because the company operates in an area of the Marcellus that is most economically productive. Other companies that report layoffs include Southwestern energy, with nearly 40 percent of their workforce, and Range Resources, with a reduction of 55 jobs. Energy industry stocks dropped as Chesapeake Energy Corporation hired lawyers to restructure, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation announced a dividend reduction and Whiting Petroleum Corp\u2019s credit was downgraded by Moody\u2019s. Director of the Office of Energy Markets and Financial Analysis for the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) Lynn Westfall explains a few reasons why production is declining: Low prices challenge the justification for running rigs, as production from wells decreases at an increasing rate. The lower rig count does not allow companies to keep up with the declined rate causing decreased production In addition, logistically there is not enough pipeline to remove the oil.\nPennsylvania family fails in court to save sugar maples from pipeline (Reuters) - A federal judge ruled on Friday that a Pennsylvania family that runs a maple syrup business cannot stop most of their trees from being cut down to make way for a shale gas pipeline, but he stopped short of charging them with contempt of court.Judge Malachy Mannion of the U.S. District Court in Scranton said his previous order allowing the tree-cutting could not be challenged in court.But he said lawyers for the company building the Continental Pipeline failed to prove the five defendants who own the property were guilty of obstructing the tree cutting. \"But I'm going to direct that U.S. Marshals are empowered to arrest or detain anyone who obstructs the felling of trees,\" he said. \"Then they will be brought before me for a contempt hearing.\" Monty Morgan, a former Ohio state trooper who is regional security director for Constitution Pipeline Co, was unable to identify any of the defendants as those who have blocked workers from cutting the maples this month. The $875 million Continental Pipeline, due to be operational this autumn, would run 124 miles (200 km) from Montrose, Pennsylvania, to Albany, New York. It would bring gas from fracking wells to the New York and New England markets.\"I think this is the most realistic outcome we could have expected,\" said Megan Holleran, spokeswoman for North Harford Maple, a family-run syrup business in New Milford. Her mother, Catherine Holleran, is one of the defendants. Three others - Michael W. Zeffer, Maryann Zeffer, and Patricia Glover - are aunts or uncles. Dustin Webster, the fifth defendant, is a cousin. The family has owned the land since moving from Long Island in the early 1950s.\nLandowners win case against Bluegrass Pipeline (AP) \u2014 Landowners who had opposed efforts to put a natural gas pipeline across 13 counties have been victorious in the Kentucky Supreme Court. The court decided Thursday not to review a May 2015 ruling from the Kentucky Court of Appeals that said Bluegrass Pipeline LLC did not have the power of eminent domain because it was not a utility regulated by the state, according to multiple media reports. Because the Supreme Court didn\u2019t review the appeal, the appellate court\u2019s decision stands, said Kentuckians United to Restrain Eminent Domain attorney Tom FitzGerald. \u201cToday is a good day for Kentucky landowners and for freedom,\u201d FitzGerald posted on his Facebook page. The pipeline would have snaked across nearly 200 miles of Kentucky, carrying natural gas liquids from fields in Ohio and Pennsylvania to refineries and ports along the Gulf Coast. Natural gas liquids are used by the petrochemical industry to make plastics, adhesives, fuels and other products for domestic and foreign markets. Many residents opposed the project due to environmental concerns. In 2014, the companies proposing to build the pipeline halted the project because it hadn\u2019t received the necessary customer commitments.\nVirginia justices hear appeal involving natural gas pipeline (AP) \u2014 The Supreme Court of Virginia is considering the arguments of a group of southwest landowners in the path of a natural gas pipeline. Justices heard an appeal Tuesday in Richmond involving the Mountain Valley Pipeline. Its route covers 300 miles in West Virginia and Virginia. The landowners from Giles (jyls) County objected to surveyors coming on their land to plot a path for the pipeline. A Circuit Court judge rejected the case, but Appalachian Mountain Advocates took the appeal to the Supreme Court. They are questioning a state law that allows pipeline surveyors on their land under Virginia\u2019s eminent domain law. Appalachian Mountain Advocates says it successfully prevented Mountain Valley Pipeline from entering private property in West Virginia. Justices typically rule in a month to six weeks.\nDominion outlines new national forest route for pipeline \u2014 Energy companies behind the Atlantic Coast Pipeline have carved a new proposed route through parts of West Virginia and Virginia in response to federal concerns about the national gas pipeline\u2019s initial path through sensitive national forest areas. The alternate released Friday by Dominion Resources Inc. would reduce by one-third the pipeline\u2019s footprint through the George Washington and Monongahela national forests, but add 30 miles to the 550-mile project. The alternate route would also affect 249 new landowners in both states, Dominion said. Dominion said it worked extensively with the U.S. Forest Service to select the new route after foresters rejected the initial plan, in part because of fears it would harm a salamander that lives in high elevations in the Shenandoah Mountains and is found nowhere else in the world. Aaron Ruby, a spokesman for the energy company, said Dominion believes the new path will satisfy Forest Service concerns. Dominion is the lead company proposing the 42-inch pipeline from West Virginia, through Virginia and into North Carolina. While politically popular, the energy project has found scattered opposition along its route from landowners, environmental groups and conservation officials.\nNew Gas Pipeline Route Tries To Spare Nature But Affects More Landowners - Less than a month after a federal agency rejected the route of an interstate gas pipeline for wanting to cut through two national forests, the company returned with a longer route that put more landowners at risk of having land seized through eminent domain. \u201cThere is no good place to put this thing,\u201d said Ernie Reed, president of Wild Virginia, in an interview with ThinkProgress. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline, unveiled in 2014, would transport 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. If approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the builders would seize any land necessary via eminent domain to build an interstate line that would carry gas from the Marcellus Shale basin \u2014 one of the largest natural gas reservoirs in the world \u2014 to supply power stations in Virginia and North Carolina. The companies involved were told last month to amend the existing proposed route as it lacked \u201cminimum requirements\u201d to safeguard both the Monongahela and the George Washington National Forests. After that, the companies announced they had come up with an alternative path that is about 30 miles longer than the original 550-mile route. It would affect more landowners than before, but avoid sensitive wildlife. Dominion, which partnered with Duke Energy, Piedmont Natural Gas, and AGL to develop the project, said it\u2019s submitting a preliminary analysis of the route to FERC this week. In a statement, it noted the new plan would affect about 249 new landowners in Randolph and Pocahontas counties in West Virginia, as well as others in Highland, Bath, and Augusta counties in Virginia.\nPipeline opponents ask board to consider new US oil exports (AP) \u2014 Opponents of a proposed pipeline project in Iowa want the state utilities board to take additional evidence that crude oil produced in the United States is now being shipped overseas, which would bolster their argument that North Dakota oil to be shipped through the so-called Bakken pipeline may have no benefits for Iowa. It\u2019s been more than two months since the Iowa Utilities Board ended hearings and gathering documents on the project, which would stretch diagonally across 1,300 parcels of land and 18 counties in Iowa at a cost of $1 billion. Board members began deliberations last week on whether to grant a hazardous liquid pipeline permit to Dakota Access, a Texas-based company owned by major petroleum industry players, and whether the company can use eminent domain to force owners of 296 parcels of land to allow the pipeline to be buried on their property. At issue is a 2006 law that prohibits private development of agriculture land without the owner\u2019s consent \u2014 unless the developer is a utility. The board must decide whether Dakota Access meets the definition of a utility, such as an electricity or telephone provider. Opponents say it isn\u2019t because it provides no service directly to Iowa residents. Pipeline opponents claim it is not because there is no assurance the project will provide even an indirect service to Iowa residents, much less be a \u201cpublic convenience and necessity\u201d as required by law. But Dakota Access has said the consumers will benefit by helping to reduce U.S. reliance on imported oil, stabilizing prices and improving national security. The company said the project creates jobs and provides an economic benefit to local communities during construction. It also contends that moving oil via pipeline is safer than rail or truck transportation.\nTexas cities ask federal officials to cancel drilling leases \u2014 Some North Texas cities and environmental groups have asked federal officials to halt plans to allow gas drilling under a lake that\u2019s a drinking water source for millions and has a dam cited by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as being in hazardous condition. As many as 259 acres are up for auction for natural gas leases at Lewisville Lake, according to the Bureau of Land Management. Nearby residents fear possible drinking water contamination and earthquakes that could further threaten stability. Protesters want the BLM to remove the property from an April 20 auction in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and commission a new environmental study of gas drilling. \u201cThese direct impacts from oil and gas activities have not been adequately studied and represent an unacceptable level of risk to DWU,\u201d director of Dallas Water Utilities Jody Puckett wrote in a letter to BLM. Dallas Water Utilities provides drinking water to 2.4 million people in the city and surrounding communities. But Ed Ireland, the executive director of the Barnett Shale Energy Education Council, told the Dallas Morning News that there has been extensive gas drilling in Texas \u2014 including under Lewisville Lake \u2014 with no evidence of drinking water contamination.\nFracking fears prompt protests over leasing near lake \u2014 North Texas cities, from Highland Village, population 15,500, to Dallas, are protesting plans to auction federal lands for gas-well exploration around a lake that supplies drinking water to millions. The plans to auction several hundred acres around and under Lake Lewisville, about 35 miles northwest of Dallas, threaten both drinking water for about 2 million consumers and the integrity of the earthen dam that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers consider the nation\u2019s eighth-most-hazardous, local officials and environmental groups say. There are no gas wells in Highland Village, but the city does own five water wells, and threat of contamination to them and to the lake, prompted the city to file a written complaint with the Bureau of Land Management, which is offering the 259 acres for lease. The 10-year mineral-lease auction is set for April 20 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. \u201cWe are not opposed to gas drilling and the process that goes along with it,\u201d Michael Leavitt, Highland Village city manager said in a statement. \u201cOur concern is the potential harm that could be caused to our potable water supply if there is drilling under Lewisville Lake. \u201cIt is for that reason the council directed us to submit a protest letter.\u201d Highland Village\u2019s northern boundary is formed by the lake, which holds about 2 million acre feet, or 2.5 billion tons of water. The corps of engineers owns the land on which the lake is built and the cities of Dallas and Denton own the water, said Thomas Taylor, executive director of the Upper Trinity Regional Water District. The water district wholesales Lake Lewisville water to 25 cities and about 250,000 customers.\nMethane in Texas water wells likely natural, report says - A report from the University of Texas further contributes evidence that hydraulic fracturing has not contaminated drinking water with methane in Parker County, or anywhere else in Texas.The research reaffirmed findings from the Railroad Commission of Texas, which showed through nitrogen fingerprinting that water contamination was naturally occurring. The main objective of the project was to improve understanding of shallow natural gas, which is sometimes found in groundwater wells. During the project, researches took more than 900 samples from aquifers in the footprint of major Texas plays. A detailed chemical analysis was then performed on the water samples.Throughout the study area, researchers reached similar conclusions: the presence of high dissolved methane concentrations from 784 freshwater wells in the Barnett, Eagle Ford, Haynesville and Delaware Basin shale plays was likely natural and not related to fracking.The study states a number of natural pathways could explain the presence of methane in aquifers.\u201cThere is no need to invoke gas leakage to explain field observations. Structural and stratigraphic features explain the presence of thermogenic methane in shallow groundwater in the Haynesville and Barnett shale plays.\u201d Researchers said oil and gas-related sources of contamination cannot be ruled out, but contamination from well integrity failure is not likely to occur.\nEDITORIAL: Fracking fluids should be identified for safety - Beaumont Enterprise: Most places in Texas are OK with fracking, a few aren't. One thing they should share in common, however, is an understanding of which chemicals are being injected underground in their communities to understand any potential threats to water supplies. Unfortunately, state law allows drilling companies to withhold the identity of chemicals if they consider them to be proprietary. But the law doesn't require drillers to release specific formulas for drilling fluids or the quantities of various substances. All it mandates is a general listing of them. That's fair. Most frackers use similar types of fluid mixtures to inject underground so that inaccessible pockets of oil and gas can be extracted. Even if an unusual ingredient is listed, competitors won't know if a driller uses it by the ounce or the ton. No drilling company will cancel a project because it has to disclose all the components of its fracking fluids. The overriding goal here should be accountability and public safety.\nMarathon Oil to focus on Eagle Ford assets - Marathon Oil detailed its diminished drilling strategy on Thursday, with most resources focused on Eagle Ford shale. The Houston-based company announced a 2016 capital program of $1.4 billion dollars, down more than 50 percent from 2015 and more than 75 percent below 2014. Approximately $600 million in capital spending is set aside for Eagle Ford, of which $520 million is for drilling and completions. The 2016 drilling program will continue focusing on co-development of the Upper and Lower Eagle Ford horizons, as well as the Austin Chalk . However, Marathon said its Eagle Ford rig count will be reduced to five in the first quarter. In 2015, the company operated an average of 11 rigs in Eagle Ford shale. Marathon will continue to work in Oklahoma Resource Basins, allocating $204 million for drilling in the Sooner State. Bakken shale projects will receive slightly less, with a $193 million budget.\nAnadarko to build man camp in West Texas -- Anadarko Petroleum will open a new housing facility in West Texas near El Paso, according to the Houston Business Journal. The 77,190-square-foot man camp, located in Mentone, will be able to support 200 Anadarko employees and contractors, according to Target Logistics. The facility will include a basketball court, movie theater, game room, laundry facilities and a convenience store. A ribbon-cutting was held Feb. 10. Constructing a new man camp goes against the trend of vacancies in similar facilities in Bakken and Utica shale plays. According to a Bloomberg report, vacancy rates in Williams County, North Dakota reached 70 percent. The struggle to house numerous migrant workers during the boom had reversed. Many buildings sat vacant or unfinished. Anadarko, however, sees opportunity in the Delaware Basin, a formation stretching from West Texas to New Mexico. The Woodlands-based company holds about 600,000 gross acres with an estimated 1 billion barrels of recoverable oil.\nNew Export Supply from Down Under and the U.S. Demand for liquefied natural gas has been flat recently, but liquefaction/LNG export capacity is on the rise. The resulting supply/demand imbalance along with the crash in crude oil prices has sent LNG prices to unexpectedly low levels, and raises questions about the competitiveness of all the new Australian and U.S. projects coming online in 2016-20. Today, we continue our examination of the fast-changing international market for LNG with a look at the new capacity being added to an already saturated LNG market, and how U.S. LNG exporters might fare in a hyper-competitive world. This is Episode 3 in our series about recent developments in the international LNG market. The series\u2019 aim is to describe the market\u2019s changing supply/demand dynamics, and how they are likely to affect U.S. natural gas producers and LNG exporters in particular. In Episode 1, we recapped how the decisions to convert four U.S. LNG import terminals to liquefaction/LNG export terminals (and to build a greenfield liquefaction/export terminal in Corpus Christi, TX) were spurred by expectations that gas from the Marcellus, the Eagle Ford and other prolific shale plays would be so plentiful (and so inexpensive) that the U.S. could help meet a significant share of what was then seen as fast-growing worldwide LNG demand. We also laid out several factors that will help determine how U.S. players\u2014gas producers, midstream companies and LNG exporters\u2014will fare in the very different market (low oil and LNG prices, flat LNG demand, too much liquefaction capacity) that emerged instead.\n5.1 and 3.9 magnitude earthquakes recorded in Oklahoma \u2014 A magnitude 5.1 earthquake shook northwest Oklahoma and was felt in seven other states on Saturday (Sunday, PH time), the U.S. Geological Survey said, the third-largest temblor ever recorded in the state where the power and frequency of earthquakes has dramatically increased in recent years. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake shook northwest Oklahoma and was felt in seven other states on Saturday. The earthquake centered about 17 miles (27 kilometers) north of Fairview in northwestern Oklahoma occurred at 11:07 a.m. and was reportedly felt across Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico and Texas, the USGS said. A second quake measured at magnitude 3.9 struck 10 minutes later, followed at 11:41 a.m. by a magnitude 2.5 quake. Both were in the same area of the larger temblor and about 100 miles (160 kilometers) northwest of Oklahoma City. The strongest earthquake on record in Oklahoma is a magnitude 5.6 temblor centered in Prague, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) east of Oklahoma City, in November 2011 that damaged 200 buildings and shook a college football stadium in Stillwater, about 65 miles (105 kilometers) away. Oklahoma\u2019s stronger and more frequent earthquakes have been linked to the injection of the briny wastewater left over from oil and gas production underground. Regulators have recommended reducing the volume or shutting down some of the disposal wells. Oil and gas operators in Oklahoma, where the industry is a major economic and political force, have resisted cutting back on their injections of wastewater.\nSeveral earthquakes, including a 5.1-magnitude quake, reported in Fairview - A 5.1-magnitude earthquake rocked the Oklahoma late Saturday morning. At 11:07 a.m., the U.S. Geological Survey reported that the earthquake was centered 17 miles northwest of Fairview. Several aftershocks and smaller earthquakes were recorded in Fairview. Quakes of 3.9, 3.5, 3.1, 3.0, 2.8, 2.7, 2.5 and 2.5 were reported Saturday morning and afternoon. A 3.7-magnitude quake was reported at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. The KOCO 5 newsroom received several phone calls from people who felt the earthquake throughout Oklahoma. We also have heard reports of the earthquake being felt in Kansas and Texas. No major damage has been reported, but cracks appeared in homes after Saturday morning's earthquake. A 3.1-magnitude earthquake was reported Saturday afternoon about 5 miles north-northwest of Medford, according to the USGS. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission released an advisory Saturday afternoon stating a full plan to address the continuing earthquakes in areas like Fairview, Cherokee and Medford. The plan's full details will be announced Tuesday, but a general summary shows it will involve a \"large-scale regional reduction in oil and gas wastewater disposal for an approximately 5,000 square mile area in western Oklahoma.\" The advisory also stated more than 200 Arbuckle disposal wells will be impacted.\nOklahoma sees dramatic spike in earthquakes - CBS News: -- The third most powerful earthquake in Oklahoma's recorded history jolted the northern part of the state this weekend. The magnitude 5.1 quake -- centered near Fairview -- was felt in seven states overall. Oklahoma has recently seen a dramatic spike in earthquakes. The ground keeps shaking in Oklahoma, and more violently. This year has already seen 140 quakes 3.0 or larger. That's an average of 2.5 earthquakes per day. Before 2008, the average was one and a half per year. The small town of Fairview is quickly gaining a big reputation for large quakes. It was the epicenter of Saturday's five point one. And just last month, a 4.8 quake. \"It just kind of rattled, rattled, rattled, and got stronger and got stronger,\" said Susie Kidd Marten. Geologist Todd Halihan teaches at Oklahoma State and believes water disposal wells used after hydraulic fracturing is linked to the quake increase. \"Unfortunately, a side effect, now we are generating seismicity due to the injection wells,\" he said. \"These are pretty startling when you feel them. There's now a lot of people experiencing them on a pretty broad scale.\" Homeowner Kathy Matthews said the state has mixed up its priorities. \"There's a greater impact on the economy when you have hundreds of millions of dollars of damage worth of real estate that's been damaged by that activity,\" she said. So far Oklahoma has no plans to stop hydraulic fracturing.\nState Rep: Earthquakes, not budget, most important state issue -- The 5.1 magnitude earthquake that shook Oklahoma Saturday came as Rep. Richard Morrissette prepares for a public forum on earthquakes. \"Every hour of everyday they're talking about it,\" Rep. Morrissette said of his constituents. Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City, wanted to give residents another chance to hear from the experts on the topic. He's hosting the public forum on February 23, at UCO. Among the guests who will speak is activist Erin Brockovich. \"This is absolutely the issue of the moment. I know the budget, every body's swirling around it, but when our homes, business and our lives maybe at stake here, I think that probably takes precedence,\" he said. Contrast Morrissette's viewpoint to Gov. Mary Fallin's response when FOX 25 asked why she didn't bring up earthquakes in Oklahoma's State of the State Address. \"I didn't put earthquakes in there because I wanted the budget and our challenges as a state and how we're going to overcome this to be our biggest topic of discussion,\" she said but added \"I also felt like earthquakes were so important that I had a stand-alone press event the week before my State of the State because it is an issue that concern families, with their homes, their largest investment, for the most part.\"\nDespite Extra Earthquake Funding, State Still Lacks Lead Seismologist --Despite a $1 million transfer from the state\u2019s emergency fund to the Oklahoma Geological Survey, the agency still has not replaced its top seismologist. Austin Holland worked for OGS for years, often working 80-hour weeks investigating causes of an unprecedented increase in Oklahoma\u2019s earthquakes. But he left the agency last year, taking a job in New Mexico, a state that shakes far less frequently than Oklahoma. Not long after Holland left OGS, so did Amberlee Darold, the agency\u2019s only other full-time seismologist. The number of earthquakes in Oklahoma jumped from 50 in 2009 to more than 5,800 last year, making the state the most seismically active in the lower 48 states, according to NPR\u2019s State Impact. Records indicate the heavy workload may not have been the sole reason the two left. As reported by EnergyWire, Bloomberg and other media outlets, OGS and its scientists were pressured to downplay connections between the state\u2019s earthquakes and oil and gas activity. The agency and state officials, once reluctant to connect earthquakes with the energy industry, have since acknowledged most of the quakes are \u201cvery likely\u201d caused by injection wells, as years of studies have concluded.\nOklahoma Earthquake Comes Ahead of Plan to Reduce Fracking - AboutLawsuits.com - A 5.1 magnitude earthquake that hit Oklahoma over the weekend highlights recent concerns about geological instability due to hydraulic fracturing operations, as the state prepares to issue a plan this week to reduce large-scale \u201cfracking\u201d operations. The epicenter of the earthquake was 17 miles northwest of Fairview, and was not linked to any immediate reports of serious injuries or significant damage. However, it is part of a disturbing trend of instances of \u201cinduced seismicity\u201d, or earthquakes caused by human activity. Hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, is a controversial gas extraction process, where a mixture of water, sand and fluids that the gas industry has fought to keep secret is injected into the ground at extremely high pressure, cracking shale deposits and freeing trapped natural gas, which can then be removed. Those fluids are then sucked from the ground and often disposed of in wastewater wells. As fracking operations have increased, researchers have noted a dramatic increase in the number of earthquakes in the central and eastern United States over the past few years, including Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) has indicated that it will release a plan tomorrow that is designed to reduce large-scale fracking operations in the western part of the state, including the Fairview area hit by this latest earthquake. The area has been so prone to earthquakes that it required special attention from the OCC, which directly links the quakes to fracking operations. The plan calls for a reduction in disposal volume of 27 wastewater disposal wells.\nOklahoma agency calls for wastewater cuts to stem earthquakes (AP) \u2014 Oklahoma oil-and-gas regulators on Tuesday issued their most far-reaching directive yet in response to a surge in earthquakes by asking the operators of nearly 250 injection wells to reduce the amount of wastewater they inject underground by 40 percent. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission wants operators over the next two months to reduce injections by more than 500,000 barrels of wastewater daily in an area that covers more than 5,200 square miles of northwest Oklahoma. The commission\u2019s plan has been in the works since late October and was not influenced by a 5.1-magnitude quake that hit the area Saturday, said commission spokesman Matt Skinner. People reported feeling Saturday\u2019s quake, the third-strongest in state history, in as many as 13 other states, including in Georgia, 900 miles away. As the Corporation Commission was preparing to announce its move, the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit asking that three major Oklahoma energy producers reduce wastewater volume. The number of earthquakes with a magnitude 3.0 or greater has risen in Oklahoma from a few dozen in 2012 to more than 900 last year. Recent peer-reviewed studies suggest injecting high volumes of wastewater could aggravate natural faults. In Oklahoma\u2019s six most earthquake-prone counties, the volume of wastewater disposal increased more than threefold from 2012 to 2014. Most operators comply with commission directives, though one \u2014 SandRidge Energy Inc. \u2014 initially refused to comply before reaching an agreement with the agency last month. Oklahoma House Speaker Jeff Hickman, whose home is 20 miles from the epicenter of Saturday\u2019s quake, is pushing a bill to make clear the Corporation Commission has the power to order wells to shut down or reduce volume.\nEnvironmental groups sue oil companies over Oklahoma earthquakes \u2013 \u2013 As Oklahoma leaders continue to contemplate what to do about the rise in earthquakes in the Sooner State, a pair of environmental groups have filed a lawsuit. Sierra Club and Public Justice filed a federal lawsuit against three energy companies that use hydraulic fracturing in the state. The groups say the production waste from fracking have contributed to an alarming increase in earthquake activity over the past few years. \u201cThe number of earthquakes in Oklahoma has increased more than 300 fold, from a maximum of 167 before 2009 to 5,838 in 2015. As the number of earthquakes has increased, so has their severity. For example, the number of magnitude 3.5 earthquakes has increased one hundred fold from 4 in 2009 to 220 in 2015. These waste-induced earthquakes have toppled historic towers, caused parts of houses to fall and injure people, cracked basements, and shattered nerves, as people fear there could be worse to come,\u201d the lawsuit states. The lawsuit demands that New Dominion, Chesapeake Operating and Devon Energy Production Company \u201creduce, immediately and substantially, the amounts of production waste they are injecting into the ground.\u201d The lawsuit was filed following a 5.1 magnitude earthquake that was recorded near Fairview. The quake was the third strongest ever recorded in the state. \u201cThe science laid out in our case is clear,\u201d Paul Bland, the executive director of Public Justice, said. \u201cOklahoma may be on the verge of experiencing a strong and potentially catastrophic earthquake. All evidence points to alarming seismic activity in and around fracking operations, and that activity is becoming more frequent and more severe. This lawsuit, which we filed after the three companies named in our suit refused to take steps of their own, is an action brought by residents of Oklahoma in an attempt to protect their property, their communities and their lives.\u201d\nEarthquakes Trigger Sierra Club Lawsuit Against Fracking Companies - AboutLawsuits.com - The Sierra Club and Public Justice have filed a lawsuit against a number of oil and gas companies they accuse of contributing to earthquakes in Oklahoma and throughout the country, due to the use of injection wells related to hydraulic fracturing gas mining operations, more commonly known as \u201cfracking\u201d. According to a Sierra Club press release issued on February 16, the complaint was filed on Tuesday in federal court in Oklahoma. It names Chesapeake Operating LLC., Devon Energy Production Co. and New Dominion LLC as defendants, indicating that their injection wells triggered earthquakes there and in Kansas.The fracking lawsuit (PDF) comes after a 5.1 magnitude earthquake that shook central Oklahoma this weekend; the third strongest quake recorded in the state\u2019s history. As fracking operations have increased, researchers have noted a dramatic increase in the number of earthquakes in the central and eastern United States over the past few years, including Oklahoma. \u201cThe dangers associated with fracking and its related processes has never been more clear than it is here in Oklahoma,\u201d Johnson Bridgwater, Director of Sierra Club\u2019s Oklahoma Chapter, said in the press release. \u201cThe lawsuit notes that the latest quake was one of a string of earthquakes that have shook the state since the beginning of the year. \u201cOklahoma City residents were awakened on January 1 with a 4.1 magnitude earthquake\u201d the lawsuit notes. \u201cSix days later, 4.3 and 4.8 magnitude earthquakes occurred back-to-back.\u201dBy January 16, the state had been hit by 131 earthquakes this year alone, ranging in magnitude from 2.01 to 4.8, the lawsuit indicates. The lawsuit calls for substantial reduction in production waste and calls for the companies to reinforce vulnerable structures and for the establishment of an independent earthquake monitoring and prediction center.\nCentral Oklahoma shale crude oil still attracting new investors -- Crushing oil prices are hitting U.S. shale producers hard and the outlook for 2016 shows little sign of a let-up. Production has continued to prove resilient but the odds are that something has to give at these prices. However there are still sweet spots in U.S. shale plays where producers are increasing acreage and drilling new wells. The headline plays that many analysts talk about are the Delaware and Midland basins in the West Texas Permian but as we outline in today\u2019s blog there is also continued interest in the relatively less well-known central Oklahoma SCOOP and STACK plays. The Anadarko basin covers approximately 60,000 square miles centered in the western part of Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle and extending into western Kansas and southeast Colorado. Like the Permian Basin in West Texas, the Anadarko is certainly not a \u201cnew\u201d oil and gas basin but has been extensively and successfully exploited since the 1920s using conventional vertical drilling technology. Over the past four years the basin has been successfully targeted by producers using horizontal drilling and fracturing technology to extract unconventional oil and condensates from shale. The Anadarko basin is also similar to the Permian Basin in that it contains multiple layers of oil-bearing formations that can be exploited by drilling at different depths. The Anadarko basin encompasses four main shale era plays - the Mississippian Lime to the northeast, Cana Woodford to the southeast, Granite Wash to the southwest and Cleveland/Tonkawa to the northwest. The Anadarko shale is less consistent and harder to \u201cunlock\u201d hydrocarbons from as compared with the bigger plays like the Bakken or the Eagle Ford. However - as we have discussed in previous blogs \u2013 it has been the subject of much excitement in the drilling community with huge wells coming in that promise rich rewards. We talked about some of these opportunities back in December 2012. We also referred to the ingenuity of Anadarko producers in cracking the code back in October 2013.\nBernie Sanders\u2019 Fracking Ban Is an Economic Disaster for Energy-Producing States - Many energy-producing states are currently struggling in the wake of falling oil and natural gas prices. Thousands of people are losing their livelihoods in the energy sector, and lower severance tax payments are projected to produce numerous state budget shortfalls, which could end up reducing state spending on social programs. But as bad as the situation in many states now looks, it would be far worse if Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) gets his way and ends up successfully banning fracking, a plan he recently proposed as a way to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions Sanders says is causing global warming. A ban on fracking would be disastrous for everyone. It would drive up energy prices (don\u2019t forget gasoline cost more than $4.00 per gallon a few years ago), and it would cripple the economies of numerous states, including New Mexico and Ohio. New Mexico has the fifth largest proven oil reserves and the seventh largest reserves of natural gas in the nation, and many of these sources are accessible only through fracking. Oil and gas production are vital to the economy in New Mexico. The average annual wage paid in the energy industry is about $63,000, more than 57 percent higher than the average wage in the state. Nearly 22 percent of New Mexico\u2019s population is living beneath the poverty line, a figure that\u2019s sure to decline should fracking be banned.\nColorado anti-fracking measures: 1 down, 10 remain - Denver Business Journal: A ballot proposal asking Colorado voters to ban fracking will be pulled from consideration for the 2016 ballot, according to a member of the group that filed the proposal in December. But the other 10 proposals filed by Coloradans Resisting Extreme Energy Development (CREED) remain on the table, said Karen Dyke, who\u2019s listed in state documents as the contact person for the 11 initiatives. \u201cWe\u2019re going to pull the one that\u2019s the ban, not the other ones,\u201d Dyke told the Denver Business Journal on Friday. \u201cWe\u2019re down to 10, but we still have plenty to work with.\" Tricia Olson, a spokeswoman for CREED, said in an email: \"While we didn\u2019t want to eliminate any proposals, we always knew that we could only run one to two. At this point, it\u2019s a process of elimination to get down to one or two.\" But while a proposal to ban fracking statewide may be off the table, the other initiatives backed by CREED are just as bad, said Karen Crummy, a spokeswoman for Protecting Colorado's Environment, Economy and Energy Independence, an issues committee formed by the industry in 2014 to oppose anti-fracking initiatives. \u201cThey withdrew it (the fracking ban proposal) because they know the vast majority of Coloradans support responsible oil and natural gas development and are against banning an entire industry,\u201d Crummy said via email.\nColorado Supreme Court Considers Legality of Fracking Bans | Heartlander Magazine: Colorado is on the front lines of a battle between states and local communities who want to ban or impose moratoria on fracking, overriding state control of the oil and gas industry. On December 9, the Colorado Supreme Court heard challenges brought by the cities of Longmont and Fort Collins. The cities claim they should have the power to ban fracking, regardless of decisions made by state agencies. In 2012, voters in Longmont approved an amendment to its city charter banning fracking. In 2013, voters in Fort Collins approved a five-year moratorium on fracking. Lower courts overturned both limits, citing prior Colorado Supreme Court decisions determining the state, not localities, have control over oil and gas development. The courts found state regulators were solely authorized to regulate fracking. \u2018Fracking is Beneficial\u2019 Jonathan Lockwood, executive director for Advancing Colorado, a pro-environment, free-market advocacy group, says Colorado is the epicenter of attacks on the energy industry from out-of-state anti-fracking groups seeking to evict the energy industry from the state, despite the fact the industry is one of the bright spots in the state\u2019s economy. \u201cOut-of-state special-interest groups with extreme views have flooded our state with anti-energy campaigns, preyed on vulnerable communities, and tried to confuse voters,\u201d Lockwood said. \u201cProtesters in the past have been organized by the same people who organize minimum wage hike protests. The chants are even the same. At one demonstration, a protester held a sign that said, \u2018Burn cop cars, not tar sands,\u2019 showing how out-of-control these anti-energy activists really are.\nHoping for a Price Surge, Oil Companies Keep Wells in Reserve - \u2014 The price of oil keeps dropping. But that didn\u2019t stop a work crew from drilling a well recently on what was once a cornfield, carefully guiding the last sections of 13,000 feet of pipe spiraling into the hard Niobrara shale with a diamond-tipped bit.Their well, one of hundreds drilled by Anadarko Petroleum in eastern Colorado\u2019s Wattenberg field this year, could someday gush as many as 800 barrels of crude oil a day. But Anadarko is not planning to produce a drop of crude from the well for at least another year because the price of oil is now so pitifully low.The well here is just one of more than 4,000 drilled oil and natural gas wells across the country producing nothing, but ready to be tapped quickly.Many constitute a new form of underground storage, a new well inventory strategy for an industry in distress, one that has been forced to lay off tens of thousands of workers, decommission most of its rigs and write down assets. For individual companies like Anadarko, the deferred completions \u2014 known in the oil business as D.U.C.s (an acronym for drilled but uncomplete) \u2014 are a bet on higher oil prices than the current level of about $38 a barrel, which is about 60 percent lower than in summer 2014. They are viewed by oil executives as a way to hoard cash as service costs plummet and are a flexible lever to rapidly increase production whenever oil rises again.\nAnadarko drills Colorado high schoolers on fracking (Slideshow) - Denver Business Journal: Chemistry students at Windsor High School got a close look at the mechanics of hydraulic fracturing this month, courtesy of Anadarko Petroleum Corp. Representatives of Anadarko (NYSE: APC) -- one of Colorado's largest oil and gas operators -- and a contractor visited the school in the heart of Colorado's energy country to talk about fracking and to show how it's done. And Bloomberg News photographer Matthew Staver was on hand for the class. See his photos above. The school visit was part of an effort by Anadarko and others in the energy industry to more broadly discuss the widely used technique to extract oil and gas trapped in rock deep underground. The push comes as the industry faces as many as 10 possible Colorado ballot initiatives that could tighten regulation. Staver says that Anadarko \"has deployed 160 landmen, geologists and engineers to Rotary clubs, high schools and mothers' groups. They demonstrate how drilling works and try to convince people that the technique and the accompanying chemicals and geological effects don\u2019t harm the environment or public health.\"\nClimate change activists disrupt Utah oil and gas auction (AP) \u2014 Utah environmentalists hope their disruption of a federal oil-and-gas lease auction and the purchase of development rights on a small stretch of land by an author and activist bring attention to a nationwide push to halt fossil fuel extraction on Western lands. But oil and gas industry officials say environmental writer Terry Tempest Williams\u2019 bid on at least 800 acres is insignificant. And, they say the group\u2019s refusal to stop singing that led them to be escorted from the Tuesday auction in Salt Lake City will give the industry fuel to push the BLM to hold online auctions in the future. The events evoke memories of climate change activist Tim DeChristopher, who served 21 months in prison for sabotaging a 2008 Utah auction to thwart drilling near Utah\u2019s national parks by bidding on $1.8 million of lands he couldn\u2019t pay for. But, Williams is not expected to face any consequences as long as she pays several thousand dollars she\u2019ll owe for the rights. Tempest Williams\u2019 made her bid after nearly 100 protesters were escorted peacefully out of the auction when they refused to stop singing, said Bureau of Land Management spokesman Ryan Sutherland. There were no arrests or confrontations. Holding signs that said, \u201cOur lands, our future\u201d and \u201c#KeepItInTheGround,\u201d they marched to the convention center and took their seats in the gallery before breaking into song with the refrain, \u201cI hear the voice of my great granddaughters saying, keep it in the ground.\u201d\nNorth Dakota crude production continues to climb - Last week state energy officials announced that North Dakota crude production in November rose slightly, despite low oil prices. However, as reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms warned oil and gas companies that current production rates are not sustainable at current prices. \u201cWe need $50 oil to keep production flat. We cannot sustain production at sub-$30 prices,\u201d Helms said at a news conference. November production rates, the latest data available, increased by 0.4 percent, or 1.17 million barrels per day, compared to October figures. The state\u2019s natural gas production rate, meanwhile, increased 0.67 percent from the previous month and reached a record high of 1.67 billion cubic feet of gas per day, as reported by the North Dakota DMR. According to state data, North Dakota sweet crude is currently priced at around $20 per barrel after accounting for its discounted trade. There are currently 41 drilling rigs operating in the state compared to the 200 operating this same time in 2012. Helms added that if benchmark West Texas Intermediate prices continue to hover around the $30 per barrel mark, Bakken shale output will likely decline. Oil production in North Dakota peaked at 1.23 million barrels per day in December 2014.\nNorth Dakota has 'big concern' with hedge funds buying oil assets | Reuters - North Dakota's energy regulator said on Wednesday he is worried about hedge funds and other investment groups buying oil assets in the state and conducts background checks on potential acquirers. Billions of dollars in investment capital have started to flow toward the oil industry, with fund managers and others sensing a long-term buying opportunity for wells, pipelines and other energy assets. Lynn Helms, head of North Dakota's Department of Mineral Resources, said he is worried some buyers might have a lack of experience running oil or natural gas facilities, which normally pose safety risks. \"It is a big concern,\" Helms said on a conference call with reporters to discuss monthly oil production. Under North Dakota law, producers must bond their wells so the state has insurance to pay to plug wells in case an operator abandons an oil field. Because the state regulator has control over those bonds, Helms or his supervisors at the North Dakota Industrial Commission could block potential asset sales by not approving a bond transfer, a nightmare scenario for an industry eager for any kind of cash infusion.\nNew rules aimed at North Dakota's oil industry \u2014 North Dakota regulators are proposing new rules aimed at the oil industry. A slate of proposed rules were unveiled Tuesday, including a requirement that would require bonding for all crude and saltwater pipelines. Another new rule would require berms of at least a foot high to be built around a well site. Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms says public hearings on the proposals will be done in several cities in April. He says October is the earliest the rules could be in place. North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness says his group has not had a chance to study the proposals. He says subjecting the oil industry to more rules adds costs to companies that already are dealing with depressed crude prices.\nGovernor urges oil company to preserve \u2018viewscape\u2019 - Gov. Jack Dalrymple urged the oil company developing a massive drilling unit to preserve Little Missouri State Park as the company continues working in the area. Dalrymple\u2019s comments came Tuesday after the Industrial Commission received an update on the Corral Creek-Bakken Unit, a 30,000-acre oil development near Killdeer that includes the state park. \u201cI hope that we do let people know out there, including ConocoPhillips, that we would like to continue to stay back from the Little Missouri as much as possible and continue to preserve the viewscape as much as possible,\u201d Dalrymple said. \u201dI think they know that. But let\u2019s keep reminding them that remains the same.\u201dWhen the unit was proposed, ConocoPhillips planned to drill 81 wells in addition to 12 wells that were already drilled in the unit. The timeline was anticipated to be 3\u00bd years. But the company added more wells targeting the Three Forks formation, and now expects to continue drilling until at least 2019, a ConocoPhillips representative told the Oil and Gas Division in January. As of last month, the unit had 120 producing wells, 14 wells that were drilled or partially drilled and ConocoPhillips planned to add 60 more.\nNorth Dakota oil drops by 29.5K barrels daily in December -\u2014 North Dakota\u2019s Department of Mineral Resources says the state\u2019s oil production decreased by about 29,500 barrels a day in December, while natural gas production slipped below a record level set a month earlier. The agency says the state produced an average of 1.15 million barrels of oil daily in December. The December production was about 75,200 barrels per day less than the record set in December 2014. North Dakota also produced 1.67 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day in December, down slightly from the previous record set in November. The December tally is the latest figure available because oil production numbers typically lag at least two months. There were 41 drill rigs operating in North Dakota\u2019s oil patch on Wednesday. That\u2019s down from an average of 64 rigs in December.\nLow-volume North Dakota oil wells may suspend production (AP) \u2014 Hoping to help North Dakota\u2019s struggling oil industry, state regulators on Tuesday decided to allow owners of low-volume \u201cstripper\u201d wells to suspend production while they await a rebound in crude prices. After being idle for 12 months, a North Dakota oil well has to resume production or be abandoned and plugged. North Dakota\u2019s Industrial Commission agreed to extend that another year. Gov. Jack Dalrymple, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem and Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring \u2014 all Republicans \u2014 make up the commission. Lynn Helms, director of the commission\u2019s oil and gas division, said the extension would allow companies to \u201cwait for better oil prices\u201d and give hope that the low-volume wells could eventually come back on line instead of being forever plugged. North Dakota has about 3,100 stripper wells, which are also called marginal wells. They are broadly defined as those that produce fewer than 40 barrels of crude daily, though industry and state officials say most produce fewer than 10 barrels each day. Helms said there are currently about 1,180 idle wells. Ron Ness, president of the North Dakota Petroleum Council, said the extension would give the owners of low-producing wells much-needed time. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to walk away from these,\u201d he said. It\u2019s the second time since 1999 that state regulators have agreed to extend the time before idle oil wells must be plugged.\nOh-Oh -- February 18, 2016\nBakken oil was selling for $16 / bbl yesterday.\nThe oil producers are adding as much as three million bopd of excess crude oil, globally.\nIran has yet to hit its stride.\nRussia says that even if the \"production freeze\" is agreed to, by the rules laid out, Russia would be allowed to increase output.\nIt was just reported today that the crude oil output from the federal Gulf of Mexico will hit a record high in 2017.\nAnd today the EIA provides us this graphic (via John Kemp over at Twitter):\nState order means delays for oil pipelines - Two proposed oil pipelines through northern Minnesota have been delayed by two years. Enbridge Energy has proposed building the Sandpiper line from North Dakota through northern Minnesota to its facility in Superior, Wis. The Canadian company also wants to replace an aging line from the Alberta oil sands region. Last month the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission said the company can't proceed with permitting until an environmental analysis is completed. Enbridge has challenged that order. \"We've always agreed with undertaking a thorough environmental analysis of these projects,\" said Lorraine Little of Enbridge. \"It's just a matter of what's the fair way to do that.\" If the order stands the pipelines wouldn't be completed until 2019, Little said. Several environmental groups and Indian tribes oppose the proposed pipeline routes. They say they threaten pristine waterways in northern Minnesota. But they're supported by many local governments and unions.\nEnbridge pushes back pipeline projects - Another delay on the time table of two oil pipeline projects in northern Minnesota has opponents of the projects declaring victory. Enbridge Energy, the company behind the proposed Sandpiper and Line 3 projects, announced this week both pipelines won\u2019t be ready until early 2019. December\u2019s decision by the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission to require a fully completed environmental impact statement to be done by state agencies before either project gets approved is likely to drive the cost of both projects higher, according to an Enbridge press release. Spokeswoman Lorraine Little confirmed costs were likely to rise, although the release nor she were able to state exactly what the new price tags would be. The Sandpiper project was originally scheduled to come online this spring. The 616-mile pipeline from the North Dakota Oil Patch to Superior, WI, and was expected to cost $2.6 billion. The Line 3 replacement would run from northern Alberta to Superior. The 1,031-mile project was estimated to cost $7.5 billion, with the American portion costing $2.6 billion.\nEnbridge says Sandpiper pipeline won't start up until 2019 - (AP) \u2014 Enbridge Energy Partners said Wednesday that it expects to push back until 2019 the start-up dates for both its proposed Sandpiper crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota and a replacement for its existing Line 3 pipeline because of the need for an environmental review. Company executives told analysts during a quarterly earnings call that their \u201cpreliminary assessment\u201d is that the pipelines won\u2019t go into service until early 2019. Enbridge had projected that date as sometime in 2017. President Mark Maki said the company also expects costs will be \u201ca little bit higher,\u201d but declined to predict how much. Enbridge had pegged the cost at $2.6 billion. The 616-mile Sandpiper would carry North Dakota crude oil across northern Minnesota to Enbridge\u2019s terminal in Superior, Wisconsin. The 1,097-mile Line 3 carries Canadian crude from Alberta. It was built in the 1960s and is operating at reduced capacity for safety reasons. The fate of its proposed replacement is tied up with Sandpiper because they would share much of the same route across Minnesota. Environmentalists have fought the projects, saying they threaten ecologically sensitive areas. The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled in August that Sandpiper requires a full environmental review before the state Public Utilities Commission can grant it a certificate of need. The PUC had planned to a somewhat less extensive review later. That forced the PUC to restart the process so the full review can be conducted first. Maki said he expects the permitting process to last into 2017.\nWhy the federal government agreed to halt offshore oil fracking in California: For years fracking in waters off California was quietly approved without public notice or studies on potential risks to human and environmental health from tons of toxic chemicals used in the intense oil-extraction process. But no more. The first federal study of offshore hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which uses greater quantities of hazardous chemicals than traditional oil extraction methods, is now underway because of a lawsuit brought by an environmental organization with offices in Los Angeles and Oakland. In its suit filed last year against the U.S. Department of Interior\u2019s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, the Center for Biological Diversity argued that the government illegally failed to study the environmental and human health dangers that could arise from fracking. Specifically, the group said the lack of studies violated the Coastal Zone Management Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Government officials initially denied the claims, but then agreed to settle the case on Jan. 29 under the environment organization\u2019s terms. They are now working on a thorough environmental assessment of offshore fracking that is scheduled for completion in May. The assessment includes public comment periods, which will open when once draft and final reports are released.\nEnergy secretary says California gas leak a symptom of age (AP) \u2014 A major gas leak near Los Angeles has brought attention to the nation\u2019s aging energy infrastructure and points to a need for new gas storage regulations, the U.S. energy secretary said Tuesday. Secretary Ernest Moniz visited the site of the Southern California Gas Co. well blowout to learn lessons to help frame a multiagency approach to improving safety at energy facilities nationwide. Moniz provided no details on what might be done from a federal perspective. But he said several themes emerged after meeting with state and local officials about the leak at Aliso Canyon, the largest gas storage facility in the West. \u201cRegrettably, there\u2019s a broader theme than Aliso Canyon,\u201d Moniz said. \u201cWe have a lot of very old infrastructure in energy that we have to address for the 21st century.\u201d The well that ruptured was more than 60 years old and was originally drilled to pump oil from deep underground. It was reused in the 1970s to pump natural gas into the empty oil wells for storage and withdraw it when demand spiked. Moniz said infrastructure needs to be improved so it\u2019s smarter and more resilient. He also said regulations need a fresh look, including requirements for stronger monitoring. \u201cThese are issues which I want to emphasize have come to light particularly strongly here in Aliso Canyon and obviously are justifiably a huge local concern,\u201d he said. \u201cBut they also tell us about a problem we have to study more generally across the country.\u201d\nShockingly, authorities arrest activists instead of people responsible for the Aliso Canyon methane gas leak - Inhabitat - The California State Patrol has arrested two people in connection with the massive methane leak in Southern California\u2019s Aliso Canyon, but many residents who had to leave their homes near the leaking underground gas storage site think the wrong people are in custody. Instead of busting company executives and engineers who are responsible for the massive methane gas leak, the CSP arrested two protesters who draped banners on the headquarters of the California Public Utilities Commission. The protesters draped banners to highlight the lax regulatory environment that enabled the spill \u2014 similar to the political culture that enabled the water poisoning in Flint. But unbelievably, the activists are now the ones going to jail.\nAlaska governor, partners to look at gas-project options - (AP) \u2014 Gov. Bill Walker said Wednesday that the state and its partners on a proposed mega-liquefied natural gas project will look at different options for moving forward amid low oil prices. More details are expected in early March, Walker\u2019s office said. In a letter last month to officials with project partners BP, ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil, Walker said he wanted agreements reached on eight areas before the end of the regular legislative session, which is scheduled to conclude in mid-April. The administration had been targeting a spring special session for lawmakers to consider contracts and a constitutional amendment to support long-term tax and royalty terms sought by the companies. But the parties have said talks are difficult. Lawmakers also have heard from the companies about the challenges in the current price environment.\u201cAt this point in time, with challenging oil prices, we want to see all of us coming together to look for ways to keep this thing on track,\u201d said Janet Weiss, president of BP Alaska. Alaska needs this project, and it\u2019s an important project in BP\u2019s portfolio, Weiss said. During a news conference with company representatives Wednesday, Walker said the good news is that the parties are motivated to develop and make money off North Slope gas. The project is on track for concluding the current preliminary engineering and design phase this fall, he said. Then, the parties would have to decide whether they want to move to the next stage.\nArmy Corps to review North Slope oil project by Spanish firm (AP) \u2014 A federal agency will conduct an environmental assessment of a Spanish company\u2019s plans to develop what it says could be a significant oil field on Alaska\u2019s North Slope. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced last week that it will prepare an environmental impact statement for Repsol\u2019s Nanushuk project near the village of Nuiqsut. Repsol estimates that the project could yield 120,000 barrels of oil there per day, The Alaska Dispatch News reported. Kuukpik Corp., the village\u2019s Native corporation, owns land in the area and called for the environmental assessment. The corporation\u2019s chief executive, Lanston Chinn, has voiced concerns with the project\u2019s impact on subsistence hunting and the environment. \u201cSubsistence resources and the subsistence lifestyle have to be protected to our liking for oil and gasdevelopment to move forward,\u201d Chinn said. Jan Sieving, Repsol\u2019s vice president of public affairs in North America, said the company supports the Corps\u2019 decision to review the proposal and that it will continue to work with the village and regulatory agencies. \u201cWe are committed to environmental and subsistence protections,\u201d Sieving said.\nOil production in federal Gulf of Mexico projected to reach record high in 2017 - Today in Energy - U.S. (EIA): U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM) crude oil production is estimated to increase to record high levels in 2017, even as oil prices remain low. EIA projects GOM production will average 1.63 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2016 and 1.79 million b/d in 2017, reaching 1.91 million b/d in December 2017. GOM production is expected to account for 18% and 21% of total forecast U.S. crude oil production in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Production in the GOM is less sensitive than onshore production in the Lower 48 states to short-term price movements. However, decreasing profit margins and reduced expectations for a quick oil price recovery have prompted many GOM operators to pull back on future deepwater exploration spending, reduce their active rig fleet by scrapping and stacking older rigs, and restructure or delay drilling rig contracts. These changes added uncertainty to the timelines of many GOM projects, with those in the early stages of development at greatest risk of delay or cancellation. Contributing to the forecasted production growth are 14 projects: 8 that started in 2015, 4 starting in 2016, and 2 anticipated to start in 2017. During 2015, eight fields in the Gulf of Mexico came online. With the exception of Anadarko's Lucius field, each of the fields was developed as a subsea well that is tied back to nearby existing production facilities. The use of subsea tiebacks allows producers to reduce both project costs and start-up times. The Lucius field produces oil using a type of floating production platform that supports drilling, production, and storage operations known as a truss spar. The Lucius spar is the largest in Anadarko's fleet. It consists of a large, hollow, weighted cylinder supporting a deck and is connected to an anchor on the seabed through a mooring system. Its design provides increased stability in harsh offshore conditions.\nOil Companies See Profits Fall by $57.4B - - Largely due to significantly lower oil and natural gas prices, Exxon Mobil and Chevron saw their profits drop by nearly $31 billion from 2014 to 2015, while fellow driller Royal Dutch Shell will cut about 10,000 employees from its operations due to a $15.2 billion drop in earnings. Another one of the world's largest oil companies, ConocoPhillips, saw profits fall by $11.3 billion last year, as the firm actually reported a loss of $4.4 billion for 2015. Collectively, the four firms, known in the industry as \"supermajors,\" watched earnings plummet by $57.4 billion compared to 2014. According to the New York Mercantile Exchange, the price for a barrel of oil is now less than $32, a significant drop from the $105 range reached in summer 2014. Natural gas prices are also down, as a 1,000 cubic-foot unit is now about $2, compared to about $6 in early 2014. Exxon Mobil maintains significant operations in Bellaire and Shadyside areas via its XTO Energy subsidiary, while Chevron operates wells in Marshall County. Shell, meanwhile, continues contemplating whether to build a giant ethane cracker near Monaca, Pa. \"The scale and diversity of our cash flows, along with our financial strength, provide us with the confidence to invest through the cycle to create long-term shareholder value,\" Exxon Chairman and CEO Rex W. Tillerson said in emphasizing the firm's continued strength.\nMore Cuts Loom as Oil Nears $25 - WSJ: As crude prices slide toward $25 a barrel, many oil companies have little choice but to start making the steep cost cuts they have avoided up until now, jettisoning every well that can\u2019t break even or isn\u2019t needed to keep the lights on. \u201cFolks are coming to grips with the reality,\u201d said Dennis Cassidy, managing director at consulting firm Alix Partners, of the 20-month-and counting oil bust that many now fear will wipe out profits in 2016. U.S. and Canadian producers are losing at least $350 million a day at current prices, according to an AlixPartners analysis. Some Canadian companies are now warning they may be forced to shut down older oil-sands sites if prices fall even further. \u201cFor the month of January we did not make any money on our oil sands,\u201d said Brian Ferguson, CEO of Canadian producer Cenovus Energy Inc.,Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of energy consulting firm IHS Inc., said sub-$20 oil shouldn\u2019t happen unless crude storage tanks are completely filled, leaving producers no place to stash the fuel they pump. He said many in the market are more bearish than he is. In the U.S., more than 500 million barrels of oil are in storage now, near levels not seen at this time of year since the Great Depression, according to the latest federal data. Globally, nearly $1.5 trillion worth of oil spending will be canceled between 2015 and 2019, according to IHS estimates, which should eventually mean global oil output will fall.\nLow Oil Prices Claim New Victim, an Offshore Drilling Company From Texas - Yet another oil company has filed for bankruptcy, as the energy industry and its lenders brace for a prolonged slump. Paragon Offshore, which operates offshore drilling rigs from the Gulf of Mexico to the North Sea, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Sunday evening, the latest filing in a painful shakeout buffeting the oil industry.Over the last 16 months, about 60 oil and gas companies have filed for bankruptcy as commodity prices slide, and that figure is expected to double in the coming months if prices remain low. All told, analysts say as much as a third of the sprawling oil and gas industry in the United States could be consolidated as a result of the downturn.Paragon, based in Houston, was one of the more fortunate companies that has contemplated bankruptcy. The company was able to negotiate a deal with its lenders \u2014 a mix of bondholders and banks \u2014 ahead of its bankruptcy filing. The so-called prepackaged bankruptcy agreement sealed last week allowed Paragon to cut its $2.7 billion of debt by about $1.1 billion and to keep operating. Unlike other recent oil restructurings, which have all but wiped out equity holders, Paragon\u2019s existing equity investors will retain 65 percent of the company.\nDevon Energy cutting 1,000 jobs, slashing dividend --: Devon Energy became the latest oil and gas producer to cut everything from its dividend to jobs to spending as it tries to weather the worst price slump in a generation. The shale driller, the leading producer in the Barnett Shale, is reducing its workforce by 20 percent in the first quarter, while slashing its quarterly dividend to 6 cents a share from 24 cents, according to a statement released late Tuesday. It expects 2016 capital spending between $900 million and $1.1 billion, down 75 percent from a year earlier. Cimarex Energy also said it\u2019s cutting investment. \u201cDevon\u2019s top priority in 2016 is to protect the balance sheet,\u201d Chief Executive David Hager said in the statement. \u201cWe are tailoring activity to current market conditions and are prepared to adjust capital plans throughout the year to ensure we balance capital investment with cash inflows.\u201c Devon and peers from ConocoPhillips to Anadarko Petroleum have turned to asset sales and spending cuts to weather the steep drop in crude prices. The Oklahoma City-based company previously said it seeks to raise $2 billion to $3 billion from divestitures. Devon plans to dismiss about 1,000 employees in February, according to a company filing. An additional 600 employees will be affected by asset sales. The company expects to incur about $225 million to $275 million in restructuring costs. The producer reported fourth-quarter earnings exclusive of one-time items of 77 cents a share, compared with the 71-cent average of 31 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The oil and gas company posted a net loss of $4.53 billion, or $11.12 a share, compared with a loss of $408 million a year earlier.\nDevon Energy Announces Sale Of $1 Billion In Stock, Dilutes Existing Shareholders By 13% -- Congratulations to Devon Energy: moments ago it announced that with Goldman as underwriter, it became the first company to successfully access the equity offering window in a long, long time sell equity in the form of 55 million shares in stock, or just over $1 billion in proceeds assuming today's closing price of $20.33. The proceeds will be used \"for general corporate purposes, including bolstering the Company\u2019s liquidity position, reducing indebtedness and funding the Company\u2019s capital program.\" In other words, Devon is rusing to sell equity while it still can sell equity. Devon Energy Corporation (DVN) (\"Devon\" or the \"Company\") announced today that it intends to commence a registered public offering of 55,000,000 shares of its common stock, subject to market conditions. The Company also expects to grant the underwriters an option to purchase up to 8,250,000 additional shares of stock at the underwriters\u2019 election. Net proceeds from the offering are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including bolstering the Company\u2019s liquidity position, reducing indebtedness and funding the Company\u2019s capital program. Goldman, Sachs & Co. is acting as book-running manager for the offering. And while we congratulate management for confirming that this bounce in oil is to be faded (as otherwise Devon would not be selling shares when its stock price is pennies away from a decade low), we offer our condolences to anyone who bought DVN stock on the recent bounce higher. As of this moment, DVN was down 5% and will likely continue to slide lower, making future equity raises once the just raised $1 billion runs out, that much more dilutive. Finally, if equity investors are so desperate that they will buy equity offerings by E&P companies, that means that the war of attrition between shale and Saudi Arabia will be far longer than most expect.\nChesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) Liquidity Problems on the Rise, Share Plunges: Chesapeake Energy Corporation has been facing liquidity problems since last year, as oil and gas markets are in a downtrend. Chesapeake\u2019s stock fell to as low as $1.51 on February 8 amid a news that the company hired a law firm, Kirkland and Ellis, to restructure its $9.8 billion debt. The liquidity problem for the gas producer is posing a real threat to the company\u2019s existence, which has forced the credit rating agencies to cut down on its credit ratings. Standard & Poor (S&P) has reduced its credit rating for the company twice since January to CCC. The rating was cut because the rating firm feels that the company\u2019s debt is \u201cunsustainable.\u201d The report remains bearish over the company\u2019s performance ahead of its fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (4QFY15) results, which is to be announced on February 24. The bearish stance in the research report comes amid the worries over the company\u2019s solvency as oil crisis is likely to extend into 2017. The investment firm expects cash position for the gas producer to decline 45% to $970 million in FY15. Furthermore, the analyst foresees that \u201cChesapeake is enroute to chew through $3.9 billion of liquidity, and risks having its credit facility reduced and business impaired from under-investment.\u201d The research report views the second-largest gas producing company to erode its liquidity as its $1.255 billion debt is maturing by 2017 and an additional $439 million litigation risk is expected from the company\u2019s July 2015 ruling.\nAnadarko Cuts Dividend 81 Percent to Weather Oil-Price Crash -- Anadarko Petroleum Corp. slashed its dividend by 81 percent, joining a parade of oil and natural gas drillers cutting investor payments as they struggle to preserve cash with prices below $30 a barrel. The cut, the first in the company\u2019s history, reduces payments payable March 23 by 22 cents to 5 cents per share, the company said in a statement Tuesday. The move will save about $450 million a year for Anadarko, the third-biggest U.S. gas producer. Anadarko followed the lead of drillers such as ConocoPhillips and Marathon Oil Corp. in slashing dividends in the wake of a 70 percent crash in crude prices since June 2014. Companies are also cutting back spending on exploration to maintain cash as losses mount and prices are seen remaining lower for longer. With borrowing costs also rising and their share prices diving, companies are looking to save money wherever they can. \u201cMore dividend cuts will be coming in the next few weeks,\" . \u201cThese companies are trying to hunker down and weather the storm and you do what you have to do in tough times.\" Anadarko last week said it would cut spending by almost half as The Woodlands, Texas-based company tries to recover from its worst year of earnings since spinning off from Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line in 1986. Anadarko fell 7 percent to $37.24 at the close of trading in New York on Tuesday. The shares have slid 55 percent in the past year. Crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange sank 5.9 percent to close at $27.94 a barrel.\nIf Oil Stays At $35, This Is What Energy Company Leverage Will Look Like - With the market enjoying its biggest three-day short-squeeze since 2011, one can be forgiven to forget, if only briefly, that nothing has been fixed. Furthermore, if the OPEC meetings of the past two days have demonstrated anything, it is to confirm that not only is OPEC finished as a cartel, but that OPEC has no power over the marginal oil producers in Texas, aside from bankrupting them by pressuring prices lower. Which is precisely what it will do. And going back to the original point of how nothing has been fixed, here is a chart from DB showing what will happen to the average oil and gas company net debt/EBITDA ratio if oil rises to and remains at $35/bbl.Why is $35 important? Becase as a recent Wood MacKenzie study found, less than 4% of the world's oil supply is actually in the red at that price. Here's Platts: Citing up-to-date analysis of production data and cash costs from over 10,000 oil fields, Wood Mac said it believes 3.4 million b/d, or less than 4% of global oil supply, is unprofitable at oil prices below $35/b. Even the majority of US shale and tight oil, which has been under the spotlight due to higher-than-average production costs, only becomes cash negative at Brent prices \"well-below\" $30/b, according to the study. This is what is sure to make the Saudis very frustrated:Despite widespread fears of a major supply collapse, the US' shale oil output since late 2014, sharp deflation in service sector costs and greater drilling efficiencies have seen shale oil output remain more resilient to lower prices than first thought.Wood Mac said falling production costs in the US over the last year have resulted in only 190,000 b/d being cash negative at a Brent price of $35/b. The latest study contrasts with a similar report from the research group a year ago when it estimated that up to 1.5 million b/d of output -- focused in the US -- was vulnerable to being shut in at $40/b Brent.\nA Third Of Oil And Gas Companies Are At High Risk Of Bankruptcy -- About a third of U.S. oil and gas production and exploration companies are at high risk of going bankrupt in 2016, according to a new report. The report, published Tuesday by consulting and business services firm Deloitte, looked at more than 500 oil and natural gas exploration and production companies worldwide. It found that 175 of the companies \u2014 or nearly 35 percent \u2014 were at high risk of going bankrupt, due largely to low oil prices. Together, these companies have more than $150 billion in debt. \u201c2016 will be the year of hard decisions. We could see [energy and production] bankruptcies surpass Great Recession levels as companies struggle to remain solvent,\u201d John England, vice chairman and U.S. oil and gas sector leader for Deloitte, said in a statement. \u201cAccess to capital markets, bankers\u2019 support and derivatives protection, which helped smooth an otherwise rocky road for the industry in 2015, are fast waning.\u201d Oil prices have dropped over the last few years, and are now down to about $29 a barrel for crude oil. The drop in oil prices has caused a slowdown in some oil-producing states. North Dakota, for instance, has been riding a boom in oil production for the past eight or so years \u2014 now, new drilling is getting scarcer, and the man camps that popped up to house oil field workers are starting to empty. According to the New York Times, 60 oil and gas companies have declared bankruptcy over the last 16 months. That number could double if oil prices stay where they are.\nA Third of Oil Companies Could Go Bankrupt This Year -- About a third of the world\u2019s publicly-traded oil companies are at high risk of going bankrupt this year, according to a new report out Tuesday.Consulting and audit firm Deloitte put out its findings after closely examining 500 publicly-traded oil and natural gas exploration and production companies worldwide. The threat these companies face is a result of crude prices hovering near 10-year lows, which has already prompted firms to slash their budgets and staff. The 175 or so companies most at risk have more than $150 billion in debt, according to Reuters\u2019 report on the Deloitte study, and they\u2019re having trouble generating cash given the decreased value of secondary stock offerings and asset sales. Rumors of impending bankruptcies in the U.S. shale patch have become commonplace in recent weeks. Last week, Chesapeake Energy Corp., one of the U.S.\u2019s biggest shale gas producers, was forced to issue a statement denying it was planning to file for Chapter 11 protection, after its stock fell 50% in a day. Moreover, while many firms were able to cushion the blow of collapsing prices last year by virtue of having sold their output forward, the forward curve in futures markets this year offers no such comfort. Brief hopes that the world\u2019s largest producers, Russia and Saudi Arabia, would cooperate to cut output and end the glut were dashed early Tuesday after a meeting between their respective ministers ended without a binding agreement.\nShale Faces March Madness With $1.2 Billion in Interest Due The U.S. shale industry must come up with $1.2 billion in interest payments by the end of March as $30-a-barrel oil makes it harder for companies to scrape up the cash needed to stay current on their debts. Almost half of the interest is owed by companies with junk-rated credit, according to data compiled by Bloomberg on 61 companies in the Bloomberg Intelligence index of North American independent oil and gas producers. Energy XXI Ltd. said in a filing Tuesday that it missed an $8.8 million interest payment. The following day, SandRidge Energy Inc. announced that it didn\u2019t make a $21.7 million interest payment. \"You\u2019ve seen two of these happen in two days, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see more in the next month as these payments come due,\" . Energy XXI may not be able to meet its commitments in the next 12 months, raising \"substantial doubt regarding the Company\u2019s ability to continue as a going concern,\" according to a company filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. . SandRidge \"has sufficient liquidity to make these interest payments, but has elected to use the 30-day grace period in connection with its ongoing discussions with stakeholders,\" the company said in a statement released Wednesday. Oil has tumbled about 70 percent since a June 2014 peak of $107 a barrel. While prices were high, many drillers spent more money than they earned, plugging the shortfall with debt. That debt has become increasingly burdensome as prices collapse. Since the start of 2015, 48 North American oil and gas producers have declared bankruptcy, owing more than $17 billion. Deloitte LLP said this week that bankruptcies in the oil and gas industry could surpass levels seen in the Great Recession. The industry is facing $9.8 billion in interest payments through the end of this year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.\nThe Stressed-Out Oil Industry Faces an Existential Crisis - The Saudis may go public, OPEC\u2019s in disarray, the U.S. is suddenly a global exporter, and shale drillers are seeking lifelines from investors as banks abandon them. Welcome to oil\u2019s new world order, full of stresses, strains and fractures. For leaders gathering in Houston next week at the IHS CERAWeek conference -- often dubbed the Davos of the energy industry -- a key question is: what will break first? Will it be the balance sheets of big U.S. shale companies? The treasuries of Venezuela and Nigeria? The resolve of Saudi Arabia, whose recent deal with Russia to freeze output levels offered the first hint of a rethink? After watching prices crash through floor after floor in the worst slump for a generation, the industry is eager for answers. Insiders say it\u2019s not too hard to visualize what markets might look like after the storm -- say five years down the line, when today\u2019s cost-cutting creates a supply vacuum that will push up prices. But it\u2019s what happens in the meantime that\u2019s got them scratching their heads. Seeking clarity at closed-door sessions, cocktail hours and water-coolers in Houston will be some of the industry\u2019s biggest players, from Saudi Petroleum Minister Ali al-Naimi to Royal Dutch Shell Plc Chief Executive Officer Ben Van Beurden. In a less volatile year, the long-term viability of fossil fuels might have been high on their agenda after December\u2019s breakthrough climate deal in Paris. But within the industry, that debate has \u201cfallen into the abyss of $27 oil,\u201d \u201cIt seems like it\u2019s never a good time,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can\u2019t have these conversations when oil is $125 because then you can\u2019t get it out of the ground quickly enough. And you can\u2019t have it at $27 because you\u2019re just trying to survive.\u201d\nPlatts launches new US crude assessments to reflect oil exports: On Feb. 8, Platts debuted new assessments to reflect the on-ship export value of US crude oil and condensates along the US Gulf Coast and answer the industry's call for pricing transparency in the wake of the Dec. 18, 2015, action by the US government to lift all restrictions on crude oil exports. The new assessments were created after extensive research and a series of consultations with the industry. Platts' Matt Cook, associate editorial director for crude and residual fuels for the Americas, and Luciano Battistini, managing editor for Americas crude oil, describe the US oil industry's recent changes and elaborate on the suite of new assessments. For more details, view the subscriber note here and read the press release here. For a wider look at the US crude exports, read the oil special report \"US crude exports: Rebalancing the global market\" here\nInitial Production Rates in Tight Oil Formations Continue to Rise --Tight oil production in the United States increased from 2007 through April 2015, based on estimates in EIA's Drilling Productivity Report (DPR), and accounted for more than half of total U.S. oil production in 2015. Tight oil growth has been driven by increasing initial production rates from tight wells in regions analyzed in the DPR. As drilling techniques and technology improve, producers are able to extract more oil during the initial months of production from new wells. Eagle Ford - Bakken \u2013 Niobrara Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Drilling Productivity Report The average new well in each of these regions produces more oil than previous wells drilled in the same region, a trend that has continued for nine consecutive years. The increasing prevalence of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, along with improvements in well completions and the ability to drill longer laterals, has greatly improved well productivity. This trend can be seen in the continued increase in initial production rates since 2007, and it has allowed production in major shale basins to be fairly resilient despite high decline rates common to drilling and producing in tight formations and, since 2014, the declining number of rigs drilling for oil. As falling global oil prices led to significant reductions in rig counts and well completions in all DPR regions, remaining rigs are concentrated in high-producing areas. The total number of rigs in DPR regions has fallen from a high of 1,309 rigs in October 2014 to 475 in December 2015, a decrease of 64%, while the production levels in those months have declined by only 8% from their peak in March 2015. Production estimates in DPR regions represent a subset of total U.S. crude oil production. More comprehensive data are available in EIA's Petroleum Supply Monthly.\nTanks Topped, Refiners\u2019 Dumping Crude, 3mth WTI in Super-Contango -- It was just last week when we said that Cushing may be about to overflow in the face of an acute crude oil supply glut. \u201cEven the highly adaptive US storage system appears to be reaching its limits,\u201d we wrote, before plotting Cushing capacity versus inventory levels. We also took a look at the EIA\u2019s latest take on the subject and showed you the following chart which depicts how much higher inventory levels are today versus their five-year averages. And now with major US refiners dumping crude, as we detailed overnight, those fears are surging. U.S. Energy Information Administration data on Wednesday showed inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma delivery hub hit a record 64.7 million barrels last week \u2013 just 8 million barrels shy of its theoretical limit \u2013 stoking concerns that tanks may overflow in coming weeks. And now, given the \u201csuper-contango\u201d in 3-month it is extremely clear that storage concerns are at their highest in 5 years\u2026 Simply put, as one trader noted, speculators are now \u201cmaking the leap to Cushing storage never being more full\u2026 will actually overfill, or even stop taking crude oil deliveries outright.\u201d\nShale boom leads US to first annual trade surplus with OPEC -- In 2015, the United States recorded an annual trade surplus with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. For the first time ever in trading with OPEC, exports exceeded imports. The United States finished $6.6 billion in the black, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data. More than $72 billion worth of goods were exported to OPEC countries, while $66.15 billion worth of goods were imported. The United States posted a positive trading balance in all but three months of the year. Reversing decades of trading, the surplus can be attributed to the rise of hydraulic fracturing in the United States. Since 1985, the U.S. depended on oil from OPEC, creating large trade deficits. But that trend began to change in 2011 during the shale boom. U.S. crude production trimmed away at quarterly deficits in 2014 until a surplus was reached in the first quarter of 2015. During that time, U.S. oil production skyrocketed, increasing by about one million barrels per day. By 2014, energy companies produced more than 8.7 million barrels of oil per day. Multiple factors contributed to the trade surplus with OPEC. Falling crude prices paired with lower imported oil volumes helped to decrease the trade deficit.\nBP\u2019s Rosy Long-Term View Of U.S. Fracking And Tight Gas/Oil | Investing.com: Following on from our post Monday reporting on BP\u2019s forward-looking Global Energy Outlook report we thought, with the current turmoil in the fracking industry bought on by OPEC induced low prices, it would be interesting to look at what the oil major has to say about the prospects for that business model. It may be that BP, still largely an oil and gas major, is looking at energy use through their own rose-tinted lens subscription. Many are heralding recent efficiency improvements in solar cells and the drop in prices as the start of a new golden age in solar power generation that, in a world so focused on rising carbon emissions, will sweep away older, more-polluting forms of power generation. BP doesn\u2019t see it like that, and that does not mean to say they are wrong, but it does challenge us to ask if the current enthusiasm for a carbon-free world is misplaced. History and the current sources of energy suggest that even by 2035 80% of our energy will continue to come from fossil fuels, that may be not what we want to see but it is what the data is telling us BP\u2019s chief economist said in the presentation. He went on to say disruptive as renewables will eventually become over the next twenty years, it is highly unlikely the integrated technologies will develop far enough or the costs come down sufficiently for a dramatically greater penetration of power generation than BP is already predicting. Just as surprising is the extent to which the oil major sees the transformational change that fracking will continue to be to the energy markets. Rather than consign tight oil and shale gas to the past, as Saudi Arabia had hoped would be the result of its purposeful depressing of the oil price, BP sees any demise as a temporary phenomena followed by continued growth in a couple of years.\nWill Shale 2.0 Lower Oil Prices to $20 Per Barrel? - A paper called \"Shale 2.0: Technology and the Coming Big-Data Revolution in America's Shale Oil Fields\" was released in May by Mark P. Mills, senior fellow for the Manhattan Institute and faculty fellow at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. The Manhattan Institute has a political ideology and the paper argues for certain government policies to be put in place. It is not the intent of this post to discuss policy recommendations, but instead to review the author's discussion on how emerging trends in the oil industry could lead prices lower. The author makes the claim \"Shale 2.0 promises to ultimately yield break-even costs of $5-$20 per barrel-in the same range as Saudi Arabia's vaunted low-cost fields.\" Mills believes that one cannot discount the possibility that oil prices will stay below $60 per barrel for decades. He points out that in the last 150 years, there have only been three periods where oil has risen above inflation adjusted prices of $50 per barrel. View gallery .View gallery .Mill's main thesis is that technological innovation continues to improve in all aspects including logistics, planning, seismic imaging, well-spacing, fluid and sand handling, chemistry, drilling speed, pumping efficiency, instrumentation, sensors and high-power lasers.\nHydraulic Fracturing Market Worth $90.55 Billion By 2020: Grand View Research, Inc - The global hydraulic fracturing market is expected to reach USD 90.55 billion by 2020, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Hydraulic fracturing enables easier crude oil and natural gas extraction from unconventional reserves such as coal bed methane, shale formations, and tight sand. Government support in the form of financial incentives and tax benefits particularly in Asia and North America is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period. Shifting focus towards developing unconventional hydrocarbon resources owing to depleting production rates in conventional oil & gas reserves is expected to positively impact industry growth. Growing concern for ground water contamination has led regulatory bodies to ban hydraulic fracturing particularly in European countries including France and Tunisia. This is anticipated to remain a key challenge for industry participants over next six years. Plug & perf was the leading technology segment and accounted for over 80% of total revenue in 2013. This technique is widely used in shale oil and shale gas completions and assists multistage fracturing for cased holes.\nThe future of oil production in the Gulf of Mexico - Crude oil production in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) has been riding high in recent months, still surfing the wave of deepwater and ultra-deepwater projects whose development started in the \u201cgood ole days\u201d of $100/Bbl oil. Some incremental output is still being added, keeping GOM production levels high even as onshore oil output is declining in response to low crude prices and drilling cutbacks. But exploration and production companies (E&Ps) are cutting their spending on offshore projects, and unless oil prices start to rebound soon the Gulf too will see a leveling off\u2014and after that, a gradual fall--in production. Today, we conclude our series on resilient production levels in the GOM with a look at recent cutbacks and what they may mean for Gulf oil output in 2016 and beyond. U.S. oil production as a whole has been declining the past few months in response to plummeting prices, but that overall decline in output has come despite gradually rising production in the GOM. As we said in Episode 1, that\u2019s because the incremental gains in output the Gulf has seen over the past few months are the result of investment decisions that E&Ps active in the GOM made a few years ago, We also pointed out that while it may take much longer (and cost much more) to develop new production areas in the deepwater and ultra-deepwater Gulf than in tight oil plays on land, the output of the best GOM wells typically remains relatively high for several years, not just for a couple of years as is the case with shale wells on terra firma. In other words, if all drilling in the Gulf were to stop today, the GOM would still be producing a lot of oil five or even ten years from now; the same couldn\u2019t be said, of course, if all shale drilling were to stop on a dime in the Permian Basin or the Bakken, with their wells\u2019 high initial production rates and rapid production fall-offs.\nHigher Costs and Lower Prices Beat Down Canadian Crude Producers - If you think that yesterday\u2019s 13 year-low CME/NYMEX crude settlement price ($26.21/Bbl \u2013 February 11, 2016) is bad news for struggling U.S. producers then try putting yourself in Canadian producer\u2019s shoes! The headwinds facing Western Canada\u2019s heavy oil sands these days would try the patience of a saint. Prices for benchmark Western Canadian Select (WCS) blend in Alberta traded as low as $12.50/Bbl in January 2016 \u2013 clawing back to $14.06/Bbl on February 10, 2016. But by the time gathering, transport and diluent purchase costs are subtracted, the netback (market price less transport cost) at the lease is negative for many producers \u2013 especially when shipping by rail. To be clear, that\u2019s below zero at the wellhead! Yet there are few signs that production is falling off \u2013 at least in the short term. Today we lament the ongoing plight of Canadian producers. Most production from our northern neighbors comes not from shale but from heavy oil sands in Western Canada \u2013 where output has been increasing steadily for decades. The heavy bitumen produced in this region is extracted using various technologies with some mined at the surface (mostly upgraded in the region to produce light synthetic crudes) and most of the rest extracted underground or in-situ using steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). Much of the recent expansion has involved SAGD \u2013 that requires high upfront expenditure in plants that produce steam used to heat and extract bitumen underground. These plants produce crude for decades once they are up and running. The bitumen produced is very heavy, which means high viscosity. Consequently, it only flows when heated mixed with another hydrocarbon that reduces the viscosity. Practically speaking this means that it must be mixed with a lighter diluent hydrocarbon such as condensate or natural gasoline to make blended crudes - known as dilbit - in order to flow to downstream markets in pipelines.\nCanadian Heavy Crude Oil Producers Can\u2019t Make It Up on Volume -- Most Canadian oil sands crude production comes from very expensive mining or underground steam heating operations designed to produce consistently for decades that are costly to shutter in a downturn. Right now the crude netbacks (market price les transport costs) for these projects are more or less under water depending on transport routes. Yet production continues and new projects are still coming online. Today we estimate the netbacks (market price less transport cost) that Canadian producers are realizing. In Episode 1 of this series we reviewed the woes of hard-pressed Canadian producers in the face of ever lower crude prices.Crude prices in the Western Canadian oil sands for benchmark Western Canadian Select (WCS) are currently (11 February 2016) trading at a $12/Bbl discount to WTI in Hardisty, Alberta \u2013 reflecting the higher transport cost to get Canadian crude to U.S. refineries and quality differentials for heavier oil sands grades. That means Canadian producers get $15/Bbl at best ($14.20/Bbl on February 11, 2016) for their crude in Alberta. And some of that $15/Bbl has already been spent to buy the lighter and more expensive hydrocarbon diluent that is required to blend heavy oil sands bitumen at the lease so that it can flow in pipelines. Since most of the demand for heavy oil sands crude comes from U.S. refiners \u2013 in the Midwest or increasingly on the Gulf Coast \u2013 producers have to eat high transportation costs to get their crude to market. We also discussed how oil sands extraction plants that use steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD \u2013 used by the majority of recent projects) are difficult to shut down when economics are this bad \u2013 because the start up process is very lengthy and expensive and the process of stopping production can damage the resource reservoir. In the circumstances cash struck producers are selling midstream assets and hunkering down even as \u2013 in some cases \u2013 they are experiencing a net cash outflow on every barrel produced. In today\u2019s episode we take a look at the economics for a typical oil sands producer to understand just how bad things are in the Canadian oil patch these days.\nGet your fracking facts or face the consequences - If you needed a cause for celebration, a slice of cake and a glass of bubbly, tomorrow marks one year since Wales\u2019 moratorium on fracking for shale gas. Carl Sargeant announced a moratorium on fracking 12 months ago The date comes just as another local council, Swansea , voted to become a frack-free zone. The moratorium, which came into force on February 16, 2015, means fracking cannot be carried out in Wales without permission from natural resources minister Carl Sargeant . Companies believe fracking could bring a huge windfall to Wales, saying we sit on top of six times the UK\u2019s annual gas consumption. But as the Welsh Government has made clear its opposition to fracking, Mr Sargeant is unlikely to be moved. Things are not the same across the border. As fracking is opposed in Wales, there are plans to fast-track controversial schemes in England. England fast tracking fracking While the process could give the UK the chance to reduce reliance on foreign imports of fuel, especially with North Sea oil supplies in decline, why anyone would rush through a system that is still not properly understood should be a concern for all of us.\nOil Thefts Surge In Mexico As Cartels Become Specialized - Already reeling from low prices, officials with Mexico\u2019s state-run Pemex are also fighting an ever intensifying battle against pipeline theft as organized crime tries to gain a foothold in the country\u2019s newly reformed energy sector. From loosely organized groups of locals to feared drug cartels, those who believe there is a significant amount of illicit profit to be made here are coming out of the woodwork\u2014and for starters they are eyeing pipelines. The statistics tell an alarming story of a rapidly increasing number of pipeline thefts year over year. According to a report from Pemex released in November of 2015, incidents of illegal pipeline tapping rose a staggering 43.7 percent in 2014 over the previous year. This amounts to over 4,100 recorded pipeline taps and over 7 million liters of stolen gasoline. Pemex estimates the cost of the thefts to be $1.29 billion. But lost revenue is just part of the story. Fuel theft is incredibly dangerous, and there are increasing reports of injuries and death. Earlier this month, criminals illegally tapped a pipeline, causing an explosion. They were lucky to escape without injury but the pipeline had to be shut down while officials investigated the theft and repaired the damage.\nPeruvian Oil Spill Prompts Water Emergency For Thousands - Thousands of residents in the northern Peruvian jungle are facing a water quality emergency following two pipeline ruptures that spilled crude oil into various waterways \u2014 including a tributary of the Amazon River \u2014 damaging a vast area known for its ecological value. Peru\u2019s General Directorate of Environmental Health issued the water quality emergency Wednesday, more than three weeks after the first rupture was reported on January 25. The second spill, which came from a different section of the same pipeline, took place on February 3, further extending plumes of oil and affecting the livelihood of communities that rely on fishing and agriculture.\u201cFish have died, crocodiles have died, plants have died,\u201d said one female resident to a Peruvian television station. \u201cHow are we going to live,\u201d added the resident, who was not identified in the footage. At least 2,000 barrels of oil were spilled in the regions of Amazonas and Loreto, though 90 percent of the spillage has been recovered, Peruvian President Ollanta Humala said this week, according to published reports.\nSanctions failed to take a bite out of Russia\u2019s oil patch - International sanctions against Russia introduced in 2014 turned out not to be the bogeyman they first seemed to be, and could in fact have played a key role in helping the Russian oil sector to not only handle the sharp price drop over the last year and a half, but make the industry more efficient in the long run. When sanctions were implemented targeting the Russian oil sector\u2019s access to Western financing and key Arctic, shale and deepwater technology, analysts saw them as major blow. Forecasters speculated that Russian oil companies would run into problems trying to maintain drill rates, service loans in foreign currencies, and could struggle to maintain output. At the time the International Energy Agency estimated Russia\u2019s crude production would fall by 80,000 b/d in 2015. And these forecasts came when oil was still trading at over $100/b. Things haven\u2019t quite panned out as predicted \u2014 Russia increased crude output in 2015 by 147,222 b/d year on year, to 10.73 million b/d, and energy ministry data for January indicates this trend is continuing into 2016. This is mainly due to a significant increase in drilling, and a drive to concentrate resources on maximizing efficiency at existing projects, rather than invest in new ones that are unlikely to immediately boost output.\nCyprus to go ahead with 3rd gas exploration licensing round (AP) \u2014 Cyprus\u2019 government says it will push ahead with a third licensing round to search for potential natural gas deposits off the Mediterranean island nation\u2019s southern shores. Government spokesman Nicos Christodoulides said earlier this week the process will begin as soon as possible, but offered no further details. U.S. company Noble Energy, which received an exploration license in 2007, discovered a field around 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Cyprus that\u2019s estimated to contain more than four trillion cubic feet ofgas. France\u2019s Total and Italy\u2019s Eni along with its South Korean partner KOGAS have extended by two years exploration licenses they received during a second round in 2012. Eni last year discovered in waters off Egypt what it called the largest gas deposit ever found in the Mediterranean Sea.\nIsraeli leader defends gas extraction deal in Supreme Court \u2014 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made an unprecedented appearance at the Supreme Court Sunday to defend a deal signed in December with U.S. and Israeli developers drilling offshore gas deposits. Israel\u2019s Channel 10 TV reported Netanyahu as telling the court that if Israel were to alter its deal investors could turn away and buy gas from Israel\u2019s enemies instead. Netanyahu said he chose to speak in court because of the strategic importance of the gas deal, which he says will allow Israel to develop ties with Jordan, Egypt and Turkey and significantly boost its economy. Resource-poor Israel announced the discovery of sizeable offshore natural gas deposits about five years ago. A partnership between Noble Energy and Delek Group, which is led by billionaire Yitzhak Tshuva, is the main developer at Israel\u2019s two larger gas fields, Tamar and the heftier Leviathan. After the country\u2019s antitrust commissioner determined the gas companies\u2019 ownership constituted a monopoly, a government committee reached a deal with the firms to introduce competition. Opponents later challenged the deal in court because they said it favored the developers over the Israeli public. Opposition lawmaker Shelly Yachimovich, a leading opponent of the deal, tweeted that Netanyahu\u2019s speech was full of \u201cexaggerations, clich\u00e9s and general statements without one fact behind them.\u201d\nBP Expands Scope of $16 Billion Natural Gas Project in Oman - BP Plc and state-owned Oman Oil Co. agreed to expand an exploration and production sharing agreement of the Khazzan natural gas field to include a second development phase, at an estimated cost of $16 billion for the entire project. Block 61 will add 1,000 square kilometers (386.1 square miles) to the original 2,700 square kilometer area of development, BP said Sunday in an e-mailed statement. The project will produce 1.5 billion cubic feet of gas per day, or 40 percent of Oman\u2019s current output. The new development requires final approval of Oman\u2019s government and BP, which is expected in 2017, the company said. The reservoir is known to have \u201ctight gas,\u201d which is trapped in impermeable rocks and requires techniques including hydraulic fracturing to extract. Oman, an exporter of liquefied natural gas to Spain, Japan and South Korea, is studying options to import LNG to help generate power. Domestic consumption jumped to 774 billion cubic feet in 2013 from 520 billion cubic feet in 2009, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Oman imports gas via a pipeline from Qatar and is in talks to build a link with Iran across the Persian Gulf. \u201cKhazzan is a major resource with the potential to produce gas for Oman for decades,\" BP Chief Executive Officer Bob Dudley said in the statement. The first phase of the project is expected to deliver gas in 2017 and the second will start in 2020. BP owns 60 percent of the block, with the remaining 40 percent held by Oman Oil. More than 325 wells are planned over 15 years.\nOil Price Fears Weigh on European Banks - WSJ: Among recent concerns hitting European bank stocks is one that has been responsible for wider market mayhem for months: oil. Global bank shares tumbled through much of last week as investors worried about world-wide economic growth, capital buffers and the effects of low and negative interest rates. But in Europe, another worry caught up with the banks as the price of oil plummeted. Fears of energy-sector bankruptcies have long weighed on the U.S. banking sector, which financed the decade long expansion of the shale industry. More recently, investors have asked about exposure in Europe, where it is less well documented. Oil is causing other concerns for banks. The slide in crude prices has hit some of the emerging markets that many banks are exposed to. Meanwhile, cheap oil is feeding into low inflation, prolonging the era of low interest rates that is squeezing banks\u2019 profits. Crude\u2019s hit on banks shows how oil\u2019s fall continues to spread through markets, becoming a leading influence on equity prices. The correlation between oil prices and European banking shares is at its highest since 2012, according to data from UBS.\nMain Factors That Are Dragging Global Oil Prices Down: Over the last two years, global oil prices have dropped by nearly two-thirds. Here is a list of the main factors which have transformed the global energy market. In February 2014, price of oil was around $110 a barrel on global commodity exchanges. Today, the Brent benchmark crude extracted from the North Sea is hovering at $30 per barrel. The era of higher priced oil which began in 2011 now seems to be nearing its end. Furthermore, taken in a historic perspective, the recent years are not typical: $20 a barrel was normal in the 1980-90s. In 1999, there were times when the oil price hardly reached $10. Could current events in the oil market be a signal of a similar tendency? While economists and analysts have kept from predicting the future oil prices it is possible to outline the factors which have contributed the most to changing the global oil market.\nWhat's at Stake in an Economy with Low Oil Prices - Harvard Business Review - In the past, low oil prices have been seen as a boon, particularly at the gas pump. They\u2019ve been credited with boosting economies and stirring growth. But recently oil prices have dropped so low that warning bells rippled through global markets, and they remain volatile. What does all this mean for countries and companies? How big is the risk? For answers, I talked to Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group and author of Superpower: Three Choices for America\u2019s Role in the World. An edited version of our conversation is below.\nOil Advances for a Second Day After Bullish Bets Increase - Oil advanced a second day, rising briefly above $30 a barrel in New York for the first time in almost a week. West Texas Intermediate futures rose 1.1 percent in electronic trading in New York after surging 12 percent on Friday. Speculators\u2019 long positions in WTI through Feb. 9 rose to the highest since June, according to data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Iran loaded its first cargo to Europe since international sanctions ended, while Chinese crude imports eased from a record. Oil in New York is down about 20 percent this year. While the outlook for increased Iranian exports threatens to further boost record oil stockpiles, major companies including Chevron Corp. and Anadarko Petroleum Corp. are curbing spending on exploration and development of new resources. Crude surged the most in seven years on Feb. 12 after the United Arab Emirates repeated OPEC\u2019s readiness to engage with other producers. \u201cThe oversupply will decrease sharply over the course of the year,\u201d \u201cDevelopments in supply and demand mean the market will very closely avoid hitting tank-top levels.\u201d WTI for March delivery gained as much as 71 cents to $30.15 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange and was at $29.76 as electronic trading ended at 1 p.m. The New York Mercantile Exchange floor was closed Monday for the Presidents Day holiday, and trades will be booked Tuesday. The contract gained $3.23, or 12 percent, to close at $29.44 on Friday after dropping 19 percent the previous six sessions. WTI prices lost 4.7 percent last week.\nWhy Tomorrow's \"Secret\" Meeting Between Russian, Saudi Oil Ministers Will Not Lead To A Cut In Production -- For the past two weeks recurring flashing red headlines of an agreement, or at least a meeting, between Russia and Saudi Arabia - the world's two largest oil producers - have led to aggressive short-covering rallies in oil on just as recurring hopes that the Saudi strategy of flooding the market with excess supply (by its own calculations as much as 3 million barrels daily) adopted during the 2014 Thanksgiving Day OPEC meeting, will come to an end. Tomorrow this endless \"headline hockey\" will come to an end, following what is now a confirmed \"secret\" meeting between the two oil superpowers when, as Bloomberg reports, Saudi Arabia\u2019s oil minister will meet with his Russian counterpart in Doha on Tuesday \"to discuss the oil market.\" According to Bloomberg, Ali al-Naimi, the most senior oil official of the world\u2019s biggest crude exporter, will speak with Russia\u2019s Alexander Novak in the Qatari capital, \"according to the person, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private.\" The person didn\u2019t say what the agenda of the meeting will be, which will also be attended by the kingdom\u2019s fellow OPEC member Venezuela. The energy ministries of Russia and Saudi Arabia declined to comment. Going into the meeting, one thing is certain: over the past 15 months Saudi Arabia has never once indicated any interest in curtailing production: after all, that would go against its unstated directive of putting marginal oil producers, read US shale companies, out of business:\nRussia and 3 OPEC Members Agree to Freeze Oil Output - \u2014 As prices have dropped ever lower, smaller oil producing nations on precarious financial ground have regularly pushed their bigger brethren to stop pumping at record levels and help calm the markets.Now, even the giants are joining the chorus, with Saudi Arabia and Russia on Tuesday calling for a coordinated effort to freeze production.The plan, which also included Venezuela and Qatar, is a tentative sign that major oil producers are ready to cooperate. And it indicates how deeply prices have fallen, as Russia and Saudi Arabia have previously resisted tempering production.But whether the plan actually goes anywhere \u2014 or is just chatter meant to bolster prices \u2014 is an open debate. The four countries said they would proceed only if others commit.It is not an easy sell. Iraq has a longstanding policy of seeking to raise production regardless of the price-stabilizing policies of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, to which it belongs. And Iran has staked out a policy of increasing oil exports now that sanctions have been lifted as part of its nuclear deal.\nSaudi Arabia and Russia ministers agree oil production freeze -- Saudi Arabia has agreed with Russia to freeze oil output if they are joined by other large producers, in the first co-ordinated move to try to reduce a near record supply glut and halt the collapse in prices. After watching oil prices fall 70 per cent since mid-2014, Saudi Arabia\u2019s powerful oil minister Ali al-Naimi said an output freeze by some of the world\u2019s major producers should start to stabilise the market. The speed of the deal between the Opec powerbroker and the world\u2019s largest crude oil producer surprised the market but traders remained sceptical the provisional agreement would gain wider acceptance. Opec member Iran is seen as the biggest stumbling block. The deal was reached at a closed-door meeting in Doha with Opec members Qatar and Venezuela. Mohammad bin Saleh al-Sada, Qatar\u2019s energy minister, said the deal was still contingent on other major producers agreeing to join the freeze, which will probably complicate efforts. In a bid to bring the most reluctant Opec members on board, Venezuela oil minister Eulogio del Pino, who has led the diplomatic push for a deal, will travel to Tehran on Wednesday to meet officials from Iran and Iraq. Bijan Zanganeh, Iran\u2019s oil minister, said the country would not give up its share of the market, according Iranian news agency Shana. The country has only just started raising exports following lifting of sanctions last month. The oil price initially jumped 6 per cent on Tuesday morning after the plans for the Doha meeting leaked overnight. But the market pulled back as traders expressed doubts about a wider agreement being reached. Mr Naimi said after the meeting: \u201cFreezing now at the January level is adequate for the market, we believe . . . We recognise today the supply is going down because of current prices. We also recognise that demand is on the rise.\u201d\nSaudi Arabia, Russia to Freeze Oil Output Near Record Levels - Saudi Arabia and Russia agreed to freeze oil output at near-record levels, the first coordinated move by the world\u2019s two largest producers to counter a slump that has pummeled economies, markets and companies. While the deal is preliminary and doesn\u2019t include Iran, it\u2019s the first significant cooperation between OPEC and non-OPEC producers in 15 years and Saudi Arabia said it\u2019s open to further action. Oil pared gains after the accord was announced, signaling traders see no immediate end to the global supply glut. The deal to fix production at January levels, which includes Qatar and Venezuela, is the \u201cbeginning of a process\u201d that could require \u201cother steps to stabilize and improve the market,\u201d Saudi Oil Minister Ali Al-Naimi said in Doha Tuesday after the talks with Russian Energy Minster Alexander Novak. Qatar and Venezuela also agreed to participate, he said. Saudi Arabia has resisted making any cuts in output to boost prices from a 12-year low, arguing that it would simply be losing market share unless its rivals also agreed to reduce supplies. Naimi\u2019s comments may continue to feed speculation that the world\u2019s biggest oil producers will take action to revive prices. \u201cThe reason we agreed to a potential freeze of production is simply the beginning of a process\u201d over next few months,\u201d Naimi told reporters. \u201cWe don\u2019t want significant gyrations in prices. We don\u2019t want a reduction in supply. We want to meet demand. We want a stable oil price.\u201d\nOilPrice Intelligence Report: Oil Markets Disappointed By Production Freeze - It is yet another week in which rumors of an OPEC cut swirled around the oil markets. The difference this time, however, is that the rumors are backed up by a bit more substance. OPEC confirmed on Monday that the energy ministers from Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar, and Venezuela met in Doha, news that sent oil prices up. On Tuesday, the group emerged with a deal: a freeze on January production levels, but not an outright cut. The deal would also be contingent on all OPEC members agreeing to the plan. Despite the news, the deal falls short of what the oil markets had been hoping for. Moreover, it is also unclear whether or not all parties will sign on. On the one hand, a production freeze is unambitious \u2013 it merely freezes output at near record levels for most countries. Worse, even a weak deal faces hurdles to implementation. The biggest outstanding question is whether or not Iran would agree to limiting its production just as it finally shook off years of sanctions. Iran had previously announced plans to increase production by 500,000 to 1 million barrels per day (mb/d). It is hardly in its interest to cap production now. Even if Iran adheres to the deal, the production freeze may not ease the glut. Judging by the reaction in the markets \u2013 oil prices staged a brief rally but the gains were quickly erased as reality set in \u2013 oil traders are disappointed with the outcome. Meanwhile, on Monday, Iran began shipping oil to Europe for the first time in years. Europe was a significant market for Iran before the harsher 2012 sanctions cut off the trade. Iran is looking to claw back some of its old market share that it lost in the intervening years to Saudi Arabia and Russia. Also, the WSJ reports that the CEO of GE Oil & Gas visited Iran recently, which appears to be the first executive from an American energy company to do so. There are still some remaining sanctions from the U.S. government on Iran, which has kept most American companies at bay.. Paragon Offshore, an oilfield services company, became the latest to declare bankruptcy. Last Friday the firm said that it would restructure $2.7 billion of debt. Service companies have been among the hardest hit during the downturn as upstream companies scrapped nearly all of their drilling operations. Paragon had a fleet of 40 rigs, but with a shrinking number of explorers willing to contract them out, the company\u2019s revenues plunged.\nOil loses nearly 4 percent as hopes over Saudi, Russia deal fade - Reuters: Brent oil fell almost 4 percent on Tuesday, erasing early gains after top producers Russia and Saudi Arabia dashed expectations of an outright supply cut by agreeing only to freeze output if other big exporters joined them. Benchmark Brent prices jumped briefly through $35 a barrel after Russia and Saudi Arabia agreed to keep output at January levels, in what could be the first joint OPEC and non-OPEC deal in 15 years. Qatari energy minister Mohammad bin Saleh al-Sada said the step would help to stabilise the oil market, which has experienced price declines not seen since the early 2000s because of a supply glut. Elsewhere, inventories at the Cushing, Oklahoma delivery point for U.S. crude futures rose by nearly 705,000 barrels during the week to Feb. 12, traders said, citing data issued by market intelligence firm Genscape. Brent settled down $1.21 at $32.18 a barrel, after rising earlier to $35.55. U.S. crude settled down 40 cents at $29.04, off the day's high of $31.53. Tuesday's early rally ran out of steam as investors weighed the chances of an output freeze while Iran remained absent from the talks and determined to raise production. Sources familiar with Iranian thinking on supply said Tehran would be willing to consider a freeze once its production had reached pre-sanctions levels.\nHistoric OPEC-Russia Agreement Will Have Minimal Impact -- Several top OPEC producers made headlines with Russia on Tuesday, revealing that a secret meeting between their respective energy ministers led to a deal to \u201cfreeze\u201d production in an effort to boost oil prices. The agreement is monumental in the sense that OPEC and Russia are poised to agree to cooperate, the first OPEC and non-OPEC deal in 15 years. At the same time, the deal is a half-measure and will likely be inadequate to substantially rescue oil prices from their rock bottom lows. Leaving aside the incentives for each individual country to cheat on the commitment, the proposal still faces hurdles. First, Iraq is a bit of a question mark, given its need to increase production. But Iraq produced at a record level in January and boosting production beyond current levels appears to be difficult. Therefore, agreeing to a freeze does not have too much of a downside. Reuters reported that a source from the Iraqi oil ministry said that they were ready to participate if all others did as well. \"Iraq is with any decision that contributes to propping up oil prices,\" the source told Reuters. Russia is probably the most pleased with the emerging deal. Russia is producing at historic highs and didn\u2019t anticipate any more production gains this year. As such, freezing production may not be too much of a sacrifice at all. And of course countries like Venezuela and Qatar would sign on \u2013 they have little chance of ramping up production from current levels. Venezuela, in particular, is not only suffering through an economic crisis, but has seen its oil production steadily erode over the past decade. But for others, there is some sacrifice involved. Saudi Arabia\u2019s January production levels of 10.2 million barrels per day (mb/d) were actually a bit down from their high point in 2015 at 10.5 mb/d. Also, Saudi Arabia usually increases production in the summer months to meet higher domestic demand, so freezing output would cause Saudi Arabia to take a hit.\nWhat Saudi Arabia\u2019s Freeze Means for Oil Prices - The more things change in the oil market, the more they stay the same: The agreement Tuesday between Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar and Venezuela to freeze oil output falls somewhere between symbolic significance and no change at all. So it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that Brent crude, which had rallied to north of $35 a barrel as reports of a meeting in Doha surfaced, quickly gave up its gains Tuesday. The shock-and-awe value of any agreement, after nearly a year and a half where Saudi Arabia had quashed any suggestions of coordinated action to support oil prices, was blunted by several factors. First, a market hungry for cuts got only a freeze at January\u2019s production levels. Second, this freeze is coming at a particularly high-water mark. Russia is producing at a post-Soviet era high and, given natural decline at some fields, output was expected to be about flat this year. Others are already squeezing what they can out of their oil infrastructure: Qatar is producing at capacity, according to the International Energy Agency, and Venezuela is close. Saudi Arabia has spare capacity but likes to keep it that way: its flex is its source of market power. Third, the agreement to keep a lid on production is contingent on other big producers playing ball. Iran, in particular, seems highly unlikely to agree to curtail the ramp up of its output following the lifting of sanctions. The country is exporting about 1.3 million barrels a day, intends to increase that to north of 1.5 million barrels a day in about the next month and to pre-sanctions levels of about 2 million barrels later this year. Saudi Arabia\u2019s sudden strategic rapprochement with other oil producers certainly puts its regional arch-rival in an awkward position.\nWhy OPEC deal may not increase oil prices - Gleaning insight into the direction of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is a favored parlor game of the oil markets, as evidenced by three separate incidents recently in which oil prices spiked on hopes of a production cut. But faith in OPEC\u2019s ability to prop up oil prices may prove fleeting, as the global energy markets weigh the possibility of an OPEC production deal against the onset of new output by Iran and cash-poor U.S. producers that can\u2019t afford to stop pumping. After reports surfaced Tuesday that Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Venezuela are poised to freeze oil output at January levels, oil briefly surged before settling down and even dipping into negative territory as reality set in. Stocks also got a lift from the reports with the Dow Jones Industrial rising more than 200 points. The prospect of a freeze didn't light a fuse under the market for crude. Prices are low for a reason: the worldwide surplus of production, a tepid global economy and the inability or unwillingness of producers to agree to cuts. With Iran planning to return oil production to pre-sanctions levels and Saudi Arabia refusing to cut production, crude oil is unlikely to move higher than the $40 to $50 range in 2016, analysts say. The U.S. benchmark crude, West Texas Intermediate, fell 1.4% to $29.04, while Brent crude, the international standard, slipped 3.6% to $32.18.\nSaudis, Russians Fail To Cut Oil Production, Agree To Freeze Record January Production; Iran Already Renegs -- Last night when previewing today's main event, the \"secret\" meeting between the Saudi and Russian oil ministers, we explicitly said this deal would not \"lead to a cut in production\", and sure enough just two hours ago the meeting between the two oil superpowers concluded and as expected the two failed to agree to any production cut; instead what they did agree on was to \"freeze\" production at January's already record levels, and furthermore make the agreement contingent on other OPEC members complying, something Iran has already said it would not agree to. Here is Reuters' take: Top oil exporters Russia and Saudi Arabia agreed on Tuesday to freeze output levels but said the deal was contingent on other producers joining in - a major sticking point with Iran absent from the talks and determined to raise production. The Saudi, Russian, Qatari and Venezuelan oil ministers announced the proposal after a previously undisclosed meeting in Doha - their highest-level discussion in months on joint action to tackle a growing oversupply of crude and help prices recover from their lowest levels in more than a decade. The Saudi minister, Ali al-Naimi, said freezing production at January levels - near record highs - was an adequate measure and he hoped other producers would adopt the plan. Venezuela's Oil Minister Eulogio Del Pino said more talks would take place with Iran and Iraq on Wednesday in Tehran. \"The reason we agreed to a potential freeze of production is simple: it is the beginning of a process which we will assess in the next few months and decide if we need other steps to stabilize and improve the market,\" Naimi told reporters. \"We don't want significant gyrations in prices, we don't want reduction in supply, we want to meet demand, we want a stable oil price. We have to take a step at a time,\" he said. It was not exactly clear how \"freezing\" output at a record level will \"stabilize and improve\" the market but we will cross that bridge in a few months.\nOil Price Volatility Soars Near Record Highs -- Oil prices (and the broader financial markets) have suffered from acute bouts of volatility so far in 2016, with dramatic intraday swings the most worrying feature, and as OilPrice.com's Charles Kennedy warns, this shows no signs of letting up. With realized volatility soaring... The CBOE Crude Oil Volatility Index, that tracks (as it name suggests) the implied volatility of crude oil, has spiked to a level not seen since the global financial meltdown in March 2009. While energy analysts have closely watched the crash of oil prices since mid-2014, only in the past two months \u2013 largely since OPEC\u2019s December meeting \u2013 has crude oil volatility surged to its highest level in seven years. Oil prices are at their lowest levels in more than a decade, but the daily up and down moves are leaving investors with whip lash. After crashing last week following bearish comments from the Federal Reserve, oil prices surged by more than 12 percent on Friday, the largest percentage gain in seven years, on more credible news that OPEC might be coming around to the idea of coordinated production cuts. What\u2019s more, even after the 12.3 percent gain, crude oil still ended the week lower than it was on Monday. Part of it is due to computerized trading that leads to feedback loops of buying and selling as large volumes of capital get moved around. But computerized trading is not a new phenomenon. What is new is the instability in the financial markets. After nearly a decade of near zero interest rates from the U.S. Fed, the global economy still looks rather unsteady. There is no shortage of factors influencing oil prices today. Just to name a few: China\u2019s growth is slowing; emerging market currencies have crashed; oil supply continues to exceed demand; oil in storage is at record levels; and Fed rate hikes may or may not be forthcoming. This all adds up to a period of incredible volatility. That outlook probably won\u2019t change over the course of 2016.\nOil Tumbles Under $30 As Iran Refuses Doha Proposal, Goldman Warns \"Freeze Doesn't Help\" - Oil prices limped higher overnight in their ubiquitous carry-driven way, only to tumble quickly this morning as the reality that, as Goldman says \"at record levels, this production freeze doesn't help at all\") and clear indications from the meetings in Tehran that Iran will do 'whatever it takes' to increase its production to pre-sanctions levels. WTI is back below $30. As Bloomberg notes Any output-freeze agreement among key oil producers is being dismissed out of hand by oil bears. William Edwards, a Katy, Texas-based consultant, who has said since late 2014 prices will go low and stay low for years, says this latest proposal wouldn't even cut production, which he says must happen for price recovery.\"For OPEC, the sequence is as follows,\" Edwards tells WSJ. \"It spends a year or two saying 'you cut,\" meaning everyone except OPEC. Then it'll spend another year or two saying 'We all should cut.' Finally, when prices are so low it has no choice, OPEC will say 'we've agreed to cut, starting in six months.\" And as Goldman's Damien Courvalin warns, keeping output at record levels doesn't help...\nCrude Confused - WTI Rallies As Iran 'Supports' OPEC Freeze But Won't Cut Production -- The algos are happy. Headlines proclaim Iran \"supports\" the Doha proposal to \"freeze\" oil production levels (at record levels) and oil spikes. However, what they failed to grasp was Iran's lack of commitment to actual production levels... i.e. Iran fully supports production cuts for everyone else... but will not freeze its own production.\nWTI Crude Soars To $31 - Erases All \"Production Freeze\" Disappointment Losses - So let's get this straight. Russia and OPEC 'agree' to consider (not actually act upon) \"freezing\" production levels (at current record high levels) and the market plunges amid disappointment over no cuts. And today WTI spikes and erases all those losses as Iran supports the \"freeze\" plan but will not cut its own production plans... As Reuters reports, Iran said on Wednesday it would resist any plan to restrain its oil output as fellow OPEC ministers tried to persuade the country to join the first global oil pact in 15 years. Talks in Tehran between Iranian oil minister Bijan Zanganeh and his counterparts from Iraq, Qatar and Venezuela lasted for nearly three hours. Visiting ministers left without making comment. \"Asking Iran to freeze its oil production level is illogical ... when Iran was under sanctions, some countries raised their output and they caused the drop in oil prices.\" Iran's OPEC envoy, Mehdi Asali, was quoted as saying by the Shargh daily newspaper on Wednesday. \"How can they expect Iran to cooperate now and pay the price?\" he said.\"We have repeatedly said that Iran will increase its crude output until reaching the pre-sanctions production level.\" And so - Crude rallies??!!\nAPI says crude-oil inventories fell 3.3 million barrels: reports - The American Petroleum Institute on Wednesday said U.S. crude-oil inventories fell by 3.3 million barrels in the latest week, according to news reports. The data from API, an industry trade group, is watched for clues to weekly data from the Energy Information Administration due Thursday morning. Analysts surveyed by The Wall Street Journal produced an average forecast for a 3.1 million barrel rise in oil inventories.\nUS oil surges after crude stocks fall: U.S.oil prices rose near 8 percent on Wednesday, after an unexpected drop in crude inventories. Crude inventories fell by 3.3 million barrels in the week to Feb. 12 to 499.1 million, compared with analysts' expectations for an increase of 3.9 million barrels. Crude stocks at the Cushing, Oklahoma, delivery hub dipped by 175,000 barrels, API said. Refinery crude runs fell by 27,000 barrels per day, API data showed. Oil futures have staged a rebound from their lowest levels in a dozen years, bouncing after Iran voiced support for a move led by Russia and Saudi Arabia to freeze production in an oversupplied market. Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh met counterparts from Venezuela, Iraq and Qatar in Tehran for over two hours on Wednesday, saying the proposed production \"ceiling\" should be the first step toward stabilizing the market. Zanganeh, quoted by Tehran's Shana news agency, did not say explicitly say that Iran will keep its own output at January's levels, in line with the proposal that major producers including Russia and Saudi Arabia restrict output. But the tacit endorsement from Iran helped pushed global crude benchmark Brent up more than $2 a barrel. Tehran has been the main obstacle to the first joint OPEC and non-OPEC deal in 15 years, after its pledge to recapture market share lost during years of sanctions.\nOil Extends Gains Above $31 After API Reports Surprise Inventory Draw -- Against expectations of a 3.5mm build (following a small draw last week), API reports totalcrude oil inventories shockingly drew down by 3.3 million barrels. Meanwhile Cushing inventories also drew down (by 175k versus expectations for a 700k build and 523k build last week), but we note that Gasoline inventoriers rose (by 750k) for the 14th week in a row. API Breakdown:\nCrude down 3.3 million\nCushing: up 175,000\nGasoline up 750,000\nDistillate down 2 million\nUAE energy minister refuses to discuss tentative oil cap (AP) \u2014 Dodging reporters\u2019 questions, the United Arab Emirates\u2019 energy minister refused Wednesday to discuss a proposed cap to crude oil production agreed to by four oil-producing countries the day before, raising new questions about the proposal aimed at stabilizing global prices. Minister Suhail Mohamed al-Mazrouei\u2019s stance suggests regional rivalries also may be in play, as Russia and Saudi Arabia joined Qatar and Venezuela on Tuesday in agreeing to the deal if other producers go along. The surprise closed-door meeting involving the four countries in the Qatari capital, Doha, apparently did not include an Emirati official. Qatar and the Emirates, both oil and gas powerhouses in their own right, also compete with each other in the aviation industry and cultural pursuits. Al-Mazrouei, who gave a keynote address at the 2016 CIS Global Business Forum in Dubai, mentioned low oil prices in passing in his speech. Afterward, journalists followed him outside. \u201cI will only talk about this conference,\u201d he said, before smiling and walking away from reporters\u2019 shouted questions. Al-Mazrouei then entered a side room at the hotel hosting the event. Security guards later arrived to put up a golden rope to keep journalists away. He left some 15 minutes later, still trailed by shouted questions.\nIran snubs Doha proposal, won't freeze oil output \u2014 Iran appeared Wednesday to back a plan laid out by four influential oil producers to cap their crude output if others do the same, though it offered no indication that it has any plans to follow suit itself. The agreement reached in Doha the day before by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Russia and Venezuela is aimed at stabilizing global oil prices, which recently plunged to less than $30 a barrel, a 13-year low. But Iran is keen to ramp up exports to regain market share now that sanctions related to its nuclear program have been lifted under a landmark agreement. \u201cIran supports any measure to boost oil prices,\u201d Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said after talks with his counterparts from Iraq, Venezuela and Qatar. \u201cThe decision taken to freeze the production ceiling of OPEC and non-OPEC members to stabilize and boost prices is also supported by us,\u201d he added, in comments posted on the ministry\u2019s website late Wednesday. Iran\u2019s envoy to OPEC, Mahdi Asali, had earlier blamed the fall in prices on oversupply, and said it was up to Saudi Arabia and others to cut production. He said the four nations that participated at the Doha gathering could stabilize oil prices on their own \u2014 if they cut their production by 2 million barrels a day. \u201cThese countries increased their production by 4 million barrels when Iran was under sanctions,\u201d Asali was quoted as saying by the Shargh daily. \u201cNow it\u2019s primarily their responsibility to help restore balance on the market. There is no reason for Iran to do so.\u201d\nIran Balks at Committing to Capping Its Oil Production - WSJ: Iran dented the efforts of other big oil exporters to limit production Wednesday by refusing to curb its own output, demonstrating the limits of OPEC\u2019s power to boost prices amid rising tensions among its members. Iran\u2019s oil minister Bijan Zanganeh\u2019s decision threw into question the future of a plan brokered by Saudi Arabia and Russia this week for major oil producing countries to limit their output to last month\u2019s levels. The efforts come as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries scrambles to find ways to prop up an oil market rocked by surging production that outpaces demand by more than one million barrels on any given day. Prices have fallen by two-thirds since June 2014, throwing global markets into turmoil and ravaging OPEC countries like Venezuela and Nigeria and nonmember Russia.\u201cIf Iran is working outside OPEC, the group cannot move. OPEC cannot do anything without Iran.\u201d The broken-down oil talks also added a new layer to the heightening tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, longtime rivals who are the Middle East\u2019s dominant powers for the Sunni and Shiite strains of Islam, respectively. Iran and Saudi Arabia are backing opposing sides on several battlefields, including Syria, where Iran supports President Bashar al-Assad and Saudi Arabia supports opposition groups who want to unseat him in the country\u2019s five-year war. Saudi Arabia is also leading a military coalition in Yemen fighting Shiite Houthi rebels whom Iran says it supports politically.\nFirst Iran, Now Iraq Refuses To Commit To Oil Production Freeze -- For all the euphoria about the proposed OPEC oil production freeze deal, the reality is that nothing has been actually decided. As readers will recall, the only \"decisions\" agreed to between the Saudi and Russian oil ministers were to cap production at already record high levels of output, however contingent on everyone else voluntarily joining said production cap. Then yesterday, as part of its own meeting, Iran made it clear that while it supports efforts to push the price of oil higher, it would certainly not limit its output at current levels, and instead requires an explicit loophole granting it a production limit from the pre-sanctions period. This put OPEC in a bind: if it grants Iran special treatment, then who else will have a similar request. The answer was revealed just hours later when Iraq earlier today stopped short of saying it would curb production of oil to prop up sagging prices, saying negotiations are still ongoing between members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. According to the WSJ, Iraq oil minister Adel Abdul Mahdi said his country supports any decision that will serve producers, prop up prices and achieve balance in the crude markets. However, just like Iran he didn\u2019t explicitly say whether Iraq would curb its own output but said any rapprochement between all sides to restrict crude output is a step in the right direction. As the WSJ summarizes, his comments \"came a day after Iran\u2019s oil minister didn\u2019t commit to limiting production, throwing into question the future of a plan brokered by Saudi Arabia and Russia this week for major oil producing countries to limit their output to last month\u2019s levels.\" \u201cThe deterioration of the oil prices has directly impacted the global economy and the historical responsibly of the producers requires great speed in finding positive solutions that will help prices return to the normal [levels],\u201d Mr. Abdul Mahdi said in a statement. In other words, more of the same, or as we summarized it with a brief tweet one week ago: Everyone wants higher oil prices; nobody wants to cut production\nOil gives up big price gains after Saudi comments, rise in inventories - Oil futures posted a mixed finish Thursday, giving up big gains after an official from Saudi Arabia was quoted as saying the world\u2019s swing producer was \u201cnot prepared\u201d to cut oil production. Those comments also came amid a rise in U.S. inventories of crude, gasoline and distillates.. \u201cIf other producers want to limit or agree to a freeze in terms of additional production that may have an impact on the market but Saudi Arabia is not prepared to cut production,\u201d Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir told Agence France-Presse in an interview Thursday. The Saudi official\u2019s comments come after the world's top oil producer reached a tentative agreement with Russia earlier this week to freeze production at current levels if other producers went along. Iran on Wednesday welcomed the pact but didn't indicate it would comply.Light, sweet crude futures for delivery in March finished with a gain of 11 cents, or 0.4%, at $30.77 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after trading as high as $31.98 earlier in the day. April Brent crude on London\u2019s ICE Futures exchange fell 22 cents, or 0.6%, to end at $34.28 a barrel. Oil futures weakened after the Energy Information Administration said U.S. commercial crude inventories rose 2.1 million barrels in the week ended Feb. 12. That was smaller than the 3.3 million barrel build penciled in by economists surveyed by oil-data firm Platts. It came under additional pressure after the Saudi official\u2019s comments were reported. On the inventory front, both gasoline and distillates showed unexpected rises, with gasoline stocks up 3 million barrels and distillate inventories up 1.4 million. The Platts survey found analysts looking for a 1-million-barrel fall in gasoline stocks and a 1.4 million-barrel drop in distillates.\nMy Thought Exactly: The Build Was Unexpected, And Other Thoughts; Say What You Want: I Dare You To Find Any Data Points That Reflect US Economy Better Than These Two Data Points -- February 18, 2016 - Bruce Oksol - The \"teaser\": crude oil / petroleum products / gasoline much greater than expected. Wow. My sentiments exactly. Platts is reporting:\nImports surged 795,000 barrels per day (b/d), driving stocks higher\nCrude runs rose 338,000 b/d to 15.848 million b/d\nGasoline, distillate stocks each showed surprise build\nU.S. commercial crude oil stocks rose 2.147 million barrels in the week that ended Friday, Energy Information Administration data showed Thursday. Stocks have risen nearly 22 million barrels over the last six reporting periods, pushing inventories into record-high territory. At 504.105 million barrels, crude stocks sit 36.3% above the five-year average for this time of year. Analysts surveyed Tuesday by Platts expected a slightly larger build of 3.3 million barrels last week.Crude runs increased 338,000 b/d to 15.848 million b/d, helping offset the size of last week's build. It was the first time the amount of crude processed by refiners rose on a week-on-week basis since late December, raising the possibility that facilities have returned from performing seasonal maintenance. Refinery utilization rose 2.2 percentage points to 88.3% of operable capacity. Analysts expected a decrease of 0.5 percentage point.On the U.S. Gulf Coast, home to more than half of U.S. operable crude distillation capacity, refinery utilization increased 3.1 percentage points to 87.8%. This is quite incredible. There had been expectations that the global crude oil glut could be \"burned off\" within this calendar year and things would turn a bit \"better\" by the end of the year. This has to be particularly bad news for everyone but perhaps Saudi Arabia has to be most concerned.\nCushing Is Denying Storage Requests: Some Troubling Data From Genscape And Goldman Yesterday, one of the best-known providers of energy market intelligence thanks to its massive private and patented network of land, sea, and satellite monitors, Genscape, held a webinar titled the \"Current state of the global oil market\" in which it covered all the core aspects that investors in the oil space find concerning, among which the following:\nGlobal oversupply of oil\nOPEC's dilemma with Saudi Arabia keeping up pressure to not cut production\nNorth American crude oil production forecast\nImpact of sustained weakness in crude oil prices on U.S. production\nWhat does the decline in U.S. production mean for the storage glut and refinery supply?\nU.S. oil storage\nCushing, OK, storage record-highs in April 2015 and January 2016\nWhere will the crude oil go?\nExpectations for additional storage coming online\nWhile some the key topics discussed focused on the most followed issue, namely total US supply and commercial oil stocks, which as can be seen are now at a record high and rising...... and in fact at 504 million as of today's DOE update which saw the addition of another 2.1 mmb last week, pushing total stocks to 78mmb (18%) above year ago levels...\nUnited Arab Emirates backs oil producers' output freeze plan - The United Arab Emirates threw its support on Thursday behind a plan by major oil producers to freeze output levels in an attempt to halt a slide in crude prices that has pushed them to their lowest point in more than a decade. Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Venezuela announced their willingness to cap output at last month\u2019s levels at a surprise meeting in Qatar this week\u2014 but only if other major oil producers join them. OPEC member Kuwait has since said it supports the proposal, and Iran has offered at least tentative backing. The support from the Emirates, a close Saudi ally, does not come as a major surprise but is still significant. The seven-state federation is OPEC\u2019s third-largest oil producer. Energy Minister Suhail Mohammed al-Mazrouei said in a statement to state news agency WAM that the Emirates supports any proposal to freeze output through consensus with OPEC and Russia, which is not part of the oil-producing bloc. \u201cWe believe that freezing production levels by members of OPEC and Russia will have a positive impact on balancing future demand based on the current oversupply,\u201d he said. He was also quoted as saying he believes current conditions will prompt producing countries to cap existing output, if not cut supply. The UAE, he said, \u201cis always open for cooperation with everyone in order to serve the higher interests of the producers and the balance of the market.\u201d A day earlier, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said after talks with counterparts from Iraq, Venezuela and Qatar that his country \u201csupports any measure to boost oil prices\u201d but stopped short of committing Iran to capping its own output. Iran has previously said it aims to boost production above its roughly 2.9 million barrels a day now that sanctions related to its nuclear program have been lifted.\nOil Rally Stalls As Iran Declines to Commit to Freeze - The oil markets are still trying to digest the implications of the OPEC production freeze announced earlier in the week. Several days of strong gains in oil prices gave way to more cautious skeptical trading sessions on Thursday and Friday. WTI and Brent were down to close out the week. Iran\u2019s response to the deal, while couched in positive language, was decidedly non-committal. Few expect Iran to participate in the freeze deal, and its top energy officials have said as much in the days leading up to the negotiations. Iran will continue to increase production as much as it can as it seeks to regain ground that it has lost over the past four years. As a result, with participating nations producing pretty much flat out, the freeze deal will have little material effect on the fundamentals of the oil market. The one potential positive is that the freeze might build trust, potentially creating the conditions for further negotiations. As a result, with supply continuing to outstrip demand for at least half of this year, oil prices may not budget off their lows for a few months. That is very bad news for several oil-producing countries, with Nigeria, Iraq, and Venezuela topping the list of countries in crisis. \u201cYou\u2019ve got half of OPEC in existential crisis as to whether they can be viable governments at this point,\u201d Allen Gilmer, CEO of energy consulting firm Drilling Info Inc., told Bloomberg. Crude oil inventories continued to climb this week (see chart above), defying expectations. The U.S. saw stocks build by another 2.1 million barrels for the week ending on February 12. The key storage hub of Cushing, OK, was flat at 64.7 million barrels, or about 90 percent full. That weighed on the markets following the OPEC-Russia deal as the realization of persistent oversupply regained prominence.\nBrent down as U.S. crude build eclipses output freeze plan | Reuters - Brent settled lower on Thursday after data showing U.S. crude inventories rose to record highs overshadowed production freeze plans by oil major producers that had sharply boosted the market this week. The U.S. government's Energy Information Administration (EIA) said crude stockpiles rose 2.1 million barrels last week, to a peak of 504.1 million barrels in the third week of hitting record highs in past month. [EIA/S] The EIA also cited record high gasoline inventories and higher stocks of distillates that include heating oil and diesel. Brent LCOc1, the global benchmark for crude, settled down 22 cents at $34.28 a barrel, having risen more than $1.20 before the data. It had gained a total of more than $4 between Friday and Wednesday. U.S. crude CLc1 settled up by a modest 11 cents at $30.77 a barrel, after an earlier peak at $31.98. Reuters data showed the daily volume in U.S. crude futures at just over 200 million barrels, down 75 percent from two weeks ago.\nUS rig count drops 27 this week to 514; Texas down 12 \u2014 Oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. says the number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. declined by 27 this week to 514. The Houston company said Friday 413 rigs sought oil and 101 explored for natural gas amid depressedenergy prices. A year ago, 1,310 rigs were active. Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas declined by 12 rigs, Oklahoma and North Dakota each dropped three, Louisiana fell by two, and Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico and Wyoming dropped one apiece. Alaska, Arkansas, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and West Virginia were all unchanged. The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in 1999.\nOil rig count plummets yet again - Fuel Fix: The number of rigs drilling for oil in the U.S. dropped by 26 this week, leaving just 413 rigs still seeking crude, according to Baker Hughes data. Including gas rigs, the overall rig count of 514 rigs is at its lowest point since the last century, specifically 1999. The total count is rapidly approaching the 1999 low of 488 rigs, which was the lowest point in Baker Hughes\u2019 recorded history. Another drop of 26 rigs would tie the all-time record low. Analysts expect the rig count to continue falling through much of the first half of the year. The U.S. benchmark for oil continues to hover at about $30 a barrel. In the first two months of 2016 alone, drillers have mothballed 123 oil rigs. The natural gas rig count dropped by just one this week down to 101 rigs, which already is at a historic low. Texas is still home to 46 percent of the nation\u2019s operating rigs, but the biggest losses this week came from the Lone Star State. Seven rigs went dark in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford shale lost another four rigs. The Permian and Eagle Ford, in that order, are still the most active plays in the country. The oil rig count is now down nearly 75 percent from its peak of 1,609 in October 2014 before oil prices began plummeting.\nUS Oil Rig Count Collapses At Fastest Rate In A Year - Rig counts dropped for the 9th straight week but for the 3rd week in a row, US oil rig counts dropped heavily, down 26 this week after -28, and -31 in the last 2 weeks. The 85 rig drop is a 17% plunge over 3 weeks - the fastest pace since Feb 2015, and 2nd fastest since Feb 2009.\nUS rig count down 27; firms plan to shed more units - Oil & Gas Journal: The latest drilling dive continued during the week ended Feb. 19, with the US rig count shedding 27 units to bring the current total to 514, Baker Hughes Inc. reported. All but one of those units targeted oil. Over the past 3 weeks alone, the count has plunged 105 units. Compared with the recent peak during Sept. 12-26, 2014, the count is down 1,417 units. Exploration and production firms have entered 2016 with slashed budgets and improved efficiencies, reflected in the double-digit drop-off in rigs in each of the first 7 weeks of the year. As such, financial services firm Raymond James & Associates Inc. last week further reduced its forecast US rig counts for 2016-18, now projecting an average 2016 count of 500, down nearly half compared with the 2015 average (OGJ Online, Feb. 12, 2016). The new bottom is expected occur in April at 400 units. The nadir of the 1998-99 downturn was 488 units on Apr. 23, 1999, which also represents the low point in BHI data dating back to July 1987. During the 2008-09 downturn, the lowest point was 876 on June 12, 2009. RJA doesn\u2019t see a drilling rebound until late 2016, as many E&P firms are likely to first focus on drawing down their uncompleted well inventories and improving their balance sheets, while waiting for consistently higher crude oil prices and a labor force recovery. US oil-directed rigs, down 26 during the week, now total 413, down 1,196 units since their peak in BHI data on Oct. 10, 2014. Dropping units in 9 straight weeks now, the oil-directed count is at its lowest level since Dec. 18, 2009. Gas-directed rigs edged down a unit to 101, their new lowest total in BHI data dating back to July 1987. All 27 units to go offline this week were on land. Rigs engaged in horizontal drilling continued their dive, shedding 17 units to 416, down 956 units since a peak in BHI data on Nov. 21, 2014, and their lowest point since July 31, 2009.\nOil is now so cheap even pirates aren\u2019t stealing it any more - Stealing the oil from a ship is no mean feat. Oil tankers are enormous, and ships that carry expensive cargo are designed to be difficult to board. Stealing can mean hijacking the original tanker, disabling its tracking devices, taking it to a location where it can\u2019t be spotted, and transferring thousands of heavy barrels to a different vessel that can then be sailed away. Stealing crude also means finding a buyer for it, or else getting involved in the messy and dangerous business of illegal refining. Over the past six months, the price of oil has plunged due to a global oversupply. And for some pirates, it\u2019s just not worth stealing it any more. \u201cWith oil at a low bottom price of below $30 per barrel, piracy is no longer such a profitable business as it was when prices hit $106 a barrel a few years ago,\u201d said Florentina Adenike Ukonga, the executive secretary of the Gulf of Guinea Commission\u2014a regional body that exists to promote cooperation between West African states, many of which export oil via tanker\u2014in an interview with Bloomberg. She said that the drop in oil prices, which have fallen by $100 since July last year, was a factor in reducing piracy in the area. In fact, piracy was falling before the price of oil tanked. In 2013, there were 100 attacks on separate vessels in the Gulf of Guinea (pdf), of which 56 were successful, according to Oceans Beyond Piracy, an American non-governmental organization that tracks maritime crime. By 2014, that had fallen to 67, of which 26 were successful. That fall happened before the price of oil began its downward slide\u2014though OBP estimates that, in any year, 70% of attacks in the region go unreported.\nUAE Offers India Free Oil To Ease Storage Woes -- In an oil sector first, the oil-rich United Arab Emirates (UAE) has offered free oil to India in return for a storage deal at India\u2019s planned underground facility as the supply glut worsens and some analysts predict that \u2018\u2019peak storage\u201d could sending prices crashing further. The UAE\u2019s Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has agreed to store crude oil in India's maiden strategic storage facility, sweetening the deal by saying India could take two-thirds of the oil for free. It\u2019s a great deal for India, which is almost fully reliant on imports to meet its crude oil needs. India has lured Abu Dhabi in with the building of a massive underground storage facility system that will be able to take on 5.33 million tons of crude as a bulwark against global price shocks and supply disruptions. ADNOC is eyeing half the storage capacity at one of the new underground facilities, Mangalore, which has a 1.5-million-ton capacity on its own. Abu Dhabi plans to stock 0.75 million tons, or 6 million barrels of oil, here, and 0.5 million tons will belong to India. The deal is reflective of a wider, global storage panic and talk of what could happen when we reach \u2018\u2019peak storage\u2019\u2019. A number of analysts have suggested that oil prices might crash to $20, or even $10 a barrel, if storage tanks become full. Storage is now at the highest level in at least a decade. In the U.S., crude storage levels hit 487 million barrels in early November, closing in on the 80-year high of 490 million barrels hit earlier this year. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), about 60 percent of the U.S.\u2019 working storage capacity is filled.\nU.A.E. Central Bank Foreign Assets Decline $12 Billion - -- The United Arab Emirates central bank\u2019s foreign assets fell by $12 billion in January from the previous month as the Arab world\u2019s second-biggest economy grapples with falling oil prices and bets against its currency. Foreign assets declined to 296.9 billion dirhams ($81 billion) from 341.1 billion dirhams, according to data posted on the central bank\u2019s website. Cash, bank balances and deposits with banks abroad dropped almost 30 percent to 122.2 billion dirhams, while investments in held-to-maturity foreign securities and other foreign assets increased, according to the data. Oil producers in the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, which includes Qatar, Kuwait and the biggest Arab economy of Saudi Arabia, are seeing their public finances deteriorate as crude prices hover near 12-year lows. Net foreign assets of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, the kingdom\u2019s central bank, have fallen in the 11 months to December as the country sought to bridge its budget deficit. Twelve-month forward contracts for the U.A.E. dirham, used partly to bet on a devaluation of the currency, climbed to 325 points last month, their highest since 2009. The U.A.E. holds about 6 percent of global crude reserves. Most of the country\u2019s cash reserves are held by its sovereign wealth fund, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, whose assets Fitch estimated would decline to $475 billion at the end of this year.\nIran exports first oil shipment to Europe since nuclear deal \u2014 Iran says it has exported its first crude oil shipment to Europe since it reached a landmark nuclear deal with world powers, the official IRNA news agency reported Sunday. IRNA quoted Deputy Oil Minister Rokneddin Javadi as saying the shipment was the first in five years and marked \u201ca new chapter\u201d in Iran\u2019s oil industry. He did not elaborate but IRNA said several western tankers have loaded Iran\u2019s oil in recent days. Iran plans to add one million barrels to its oil production following implementation of the nuclear deal, which lifted international sanctions in exchange for Iran restricting its nuclear activities. Iran expects an economic bonanza after the lifting of sanctions, which will allow it to access overseas assets and sell crude oil more freely. Javadi said Iran has already reached agreement to export oil to France, Russia and Spain. The country used to export 2.3 million barrels per day but its crude exports fell to 1 million in 2012. Iran\u2019s total production currently stands at 3.1 million barrels per day. In order to retake its market share, Iran said in January that it will add to its production despite the drop in prices and should not be blamed for the further price drops. Iran\u2019s regional rival Saudi Arabia is OPEC\u2019s largest producer.\nIran could decide fate of first global oil deal for 15 years | Reuters: The fate of the first global oil deal in 15 years could be decided on Wednesday when OPEC members travel to Iran to persuade the country to participate in a deal to freeze output levels, possibly by offering Tehran special terms. Dominant OPEC power Saudi Arabia and non-OPEC Russia, the world's top two producers and exporters, agreed on Tuesday to freeze production levels but said the deal was contingent on others joining in - a major sticking point with Iran absent from the talks and determined to raise production. OPEC members Qatar, Venezuela and Kuwait said they were also ready to freeze output and oil sources in Iraq - the world's fastest-growing producer in the past year - said Baghdad would abide by a global deal aimed at tackling a growing oversupply and helping prices recover from their lowest in over a decade. On Wednesday, Venezuelan Oil Minister Eulogio Del Pino and Iraqi Oil Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi will travel to Tehran for talks with their Iranian counterpart Bijan Zanganeh. OPEC member Iran, Saudi Arabia's regional arch rival, has pledged to steeply increase output in the coming months as it looks to regain market share lost after years of international sanctions, which were lifted in January following a deal with world powers over its nuclear programme.\"Our situation is totally different to those countries that have been producing at high levels for the past few years,\" a senior source familiar with Iran's thinking told Reuters. Benchmark Brent oil prices LCOc1 fell 2 percent on Tuesday to below $33 per barrel on concerns that Iran may reject the deal and that even if Tehran agreed it would not help ease the growing global glut\nIran defends right to raise oil output -- Iran said it will defend its right to raise oil production to pre-sanctions levels, ahead of a meeting with other Opec members, hoping to convince the country to join a co-ordinated production freeze. Tehran\u2019s position is likely to complicate attempts by the oil ministers of Venezuela and Qatar to reach a deal with Iran\u2019s oil minister Bijan Zanganeh and his Iraqi counterpart on Wednesday. A provisional agreement to freeze oil production at January levels was reached in Doha on Tuesday between Saudi Arabia and Russia, the world\u2019s two biggest exporters, as well as Qatar and Venezuela. The deal is contingent on other big producers taking part. This is the first attempt to restrict output and bolster prices to win backing from Opec\u2019s de facto leader, Saudi Arabia, as well as Russia, the largest oil exporter outside the cartel. Iran wants to maximise production, however, after seeing exports shrink under years of sanctions linked to its nuclear programme, which were only lifted last month. \u201cIt is illogical to ask Iran to further decrease its output,\u201d Iran\u2019s Opec envoy Mehdi Asali told local newspaper Shargh. \u201cUnder the current circumstances that Iran\u2019s production is much below its quota, it cannot expect us to further decrease our production,\u201d he said. Other countries have already raised output to record levels after the world\u2019s biggest producers embarked on a battle for oil market share almost 18 months ago, with Saudi Arabia leading the push to target higher-cost producers, including US shale and Canadian tar sands. Since then, the oil price has collapsed by 70 per cent and dropped below $30 a barrel at the end of last month, a level far lower than many Opec members expected crude to fall to. Mr Asali blamed Iran\u2019s Opec rivals for \u201cirresponsible\u201d behaviour as they increased production when Iran was under sanctions.\nBrazil ditching dollar to boost Iran trade - Brazil says it will ditch the dollar in trade with Iran to sidestep a US ban which prevents Tehran from using the American financial system. Trade Minister Armando Monteiro has said Brazil seeks to boost business relations with Iran after the lifting of sanctions on Tehran, even though Washington has opted to maintain its \u201cprimary\u201d embargo on the country. \"Everyone is racing after Iran now. The trade potential is very big,\" Monteiro told Reuters on Tuesday. He said Brazil will find ways to settle payments and the type of payment and currency in transactions with Iran which President Dilma Rousseff could visit this year. Rousseff lifted sanctions against Iran last week after meeting with the Iranian ambassador, hoping to bolster trade between the two nations, which have enjoyed warm ties for years despite tensions with the West. Latin America's biggest economy aims to triple trade with Iran to $5 billion by 2019, Monteiro said. He said Iran has already contacted Brazil's Embraer, the world's No. 3 commercial plane manufacturer, for the purchase of commercial jets for regional aviation. Iran is eyeing the four models of Embraer's E1 family of regional jets, because of their low maintenance costs, Reuters said, quoting an official spokesman for the company. \"Iran is a very interesting market because there is a lot of repressed demand and it is a huge country so there is great potential for regional aviation,\" the spokesman said. Monteiro said Iran is also interested in Brazilian cars and trucks as well as machinery to renew its oil refinery network.\nCan Pakistan Use Qatar LNG Price Leverage For Better Iran Gas Deal? -- Pakistan has recently negotiated a good bargain with Qatar for importing $16 billion worth of LNG. LNG arriving in Pakistan from Qatar will fetch 13.37% of the preceding three-month average price of a Brent barrel (considering the present Brent price as a proxy, that would equate to $167.5 per 1000 cubic meters), according to a report in Azerbaijan's Trend News. It translates to $4.50 per million BTUs.A comparison with Iran's gas deals with Turkey and Iraq indicates that Iranian gas will not be competitive with Qatari LNG on Pakistani market. In 2014 Iran was exporting gas to Turkey at above $420 per 1000 cubic meters, but the figure plunged to $225, or $6 per million BTUs, currently due to low oil price. Iran previously said that the price of gas for Iraq would be similar to Turkey. International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) arbitration court has recently ordered Iran to reduce its gas price to Turkey by 15% after Turkey complained. It's not clear if Iran will comply but even if it does, its price price will still be $5.10 per million BTUS, much higher than the Qatari LNG price of $4.50 per million BTUs for Pakistan. As recently as two years ago, LNG shipped to big North Asian consumer like Japan and Korea sold at around $15 to $16 a million British thermal units. Late last year, the price hit $6.65 a million BTUs, down 12% from September, according to research firm Energy Aspects. It expects prices to fall further in Asia this year, to under $6 per million BTUs, as a wave of new gas supply in countries from the U.S. to Angola to Australia comes on line, according to Wall Street Journal. Petronet LNG Ltd, India\u2019s biggest importer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), is saving so much money buying the commodity from the spot market that it\u2019s willing to risk penalties for breaking long-term contracts with Qatar. Will Pakistan be able to negotiate a better price with Iran? It seems difficult given the fact that Iranians have a reputation of being very difficult to deal with.\nAs ISIS Bears Down On Oil Riches, Libya Makes Last Ditch Effort To Form Government -- Early last month, we outlined the rapidly deteriorating security situation in Libya, which was transformed into a lawless wasteland in the wake of NATO-backed efforts to topple Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The story is hopelessly convoluted but generally speaking, there are two governments. One in Tripoli and one internationally recognized body operating out of Tobruk, where the House of Representatives remains in exile after efforts to form a unity government in the capital fell apart. The fractured government makes protecting the state\u2019s oil infrastructure virtually impossible in the face of an increasingly aggressive ISIS assault. Fighters loyal to Ibrahim Jadhran - the shady militia leader who effectively controls Libya\u2019s oil exports - are fighting to secure the country\u2019s crude, but ISIS is set to overrun them and even if they weren\u2019t there are very real questions about where Jadhran\u2019s loyalties lie. Russian airstrikes in Syria and an increasingly capable Iraqi military have made Libya look more attractive to ISIS. There\u2019s little in the way of airstrikes, the government is completely incapable of defending itself, and vast stores of oil are there for the taking. It\u2019s against this backdrop that the US and Britain are considering a ground operation as part of an effort to \u201cstabilize\u201d the country, which is ironic because it was NATO that destabilized the country in the first place.\nIn Unexpected Twist, Oil Exporters Are Buying Treasurys While They Liquidate Stocks -- Long before the mainstream media caught on to the topic of SWF selling of stocks, we warned a month ago that as a result of the collapse in oil, and assuming oil remains priced at roughly $31 per barrel, the world's largest SWFs shown in the chart below...... would be forced liquidate at least $75 billion in equities and the lower the price of oil goes, the more selling there would be. Subsequently, we showed both the equity sector and region allocation of SWF equity exposure, noting that financial stocks located in Western Europe are most exposed, something both DB and CS have found out the hard way. We also warned (ironically, courtesy of a Deutsche Bank analysis) to stay away from European stocks with high EM government ownership such as these: Yet while the wholesale equity selling by SWFs has become manifest just as predicted, in recent months something unexpected emerged when looking at other asset classes in which SWFs are involved, most notably Treasurys. \" Unexpected\", because US Treasury paper was one of the asset classes many expected would feel the brunt of SWF selling, perhaps much more so than equities. Quite the opposite has not happened. As Stone McCarthy writes, based on TIC data for Asian oil exporters, those countries have been more aggressively selling risk assets than Treasury securities since oil prices began to slide in mid 2014. The chart below shows the cumulative net purchases of U.S. securities since July of 2013, about a year before oil prices began their descent, for the \"oil-exporter\" group.\nThe Hidden Agenda Behind Saudi Arabia\u2019s Market Share Strategy -- Do the Saudis have an oil market strategy beyond pumping crude to defend their market share? Are they indifferent to which countries\u2019 oil industries survive? Or, alternatively, are they targeting specific global competitors and specific national markets? U.S. import data (from the EIA) suggests the U.S. is not now the Saudis\u2019 primary target, if it ever was. Like other producers, the Saudis operate within a set of constraints. Domestic capacity is one. In its 2015 Medium Term Market Report (Oil), the IEA put Saudi Arabia\u2019s sustainable crude output capacity at 12.34 million barrels per day in 2015 and at 12.42 million in 2016. Export capacity\u2014output minus domestic demand\u2014is another. Rather than maintaining crude output at 2014\u2019s level in 2015, the Saudis steadily increased it after al-Naimi\u2019s announcement in Vienna as they brought idle capacity on line (data from the IEA monthly Oil Market Report): This allowed them to increase average daily crude exports by 460,000 barrels in 2015 over 2014 average export levels\u2014even as Saudi domestic demand increased\u2014and exports peaked in 4Q 2015 at 7.01 million barrels per day (assuming the Saudis keep output at average 2H 2015 levels in 2016, and domestic demand increased 400,000 barrels per day, as the IEA forecasts, the Saudis could export nearly 7 million barrels per day on average in 2016): The Saudis did not ship any of their incremental crude exports to the U.S.\u2014in other words, they did not increase volumes exported to the U.S., did not directly seek to constrain U.S. output, and did not seek to increase U.S. market share. Based on EIA data, Saudi imports into the U.S. declined from 1.191 million barrels per day in 2014 to 1.045 million in 2015\u2014and have steadily declined since peaking in 2012 at 1,396 million barrels per day. (OPEC\u2019s shipments also declined from 2014 to 2015, from 3.05 million barrels per day to 2.64 million, continuing the downward trend that started in 2010). Canada, however, which has sent increasing volumes to the U.S. since 2009, increased exports to the U.S. 306,000 barrels per day in 2015: Also, the Saudi share of U.S. crude imports declined 1.9 percentage points in 2015 from 2014, and has declined 2.6 percentage points since peaking at 16.9 percent in 2013;\nSaudi Arabia's credit rating outlook cut to negative at S&P -- Saudi Arabia, the world\u2019s largest oil exporter, had the outlook on its credit grade cut to negative by Standard & Poor\u2019s while other struggling energy-producing nations had their ratings lowered. The Saudi kingdom could lose its AA- credit ranking, the fourth-highest debt grade, in two years if its \u201cliquid assets\u201d decline or its fiscal position weaken, S&P said in a statement Monday. The rating company also cut the grades of Oman, Bahrain, Kazakhstan and Venezuela by one step, citing lower oil prices. A 50 percent drop in oil since June is eroding government revenues of energy exporters and dimming their growth prospects. S&P said oil will average $70 a barrel by 2018, down from a forecast of $85 in December, when it lowered Saudi Arabia\u2019s outlook to stable from positive. \u201cGiven its high dependence on oil, Saudi Arabia\u2019s currently very strong fiscal position could weaken owing to the oil price decline,\u201d analysts led by Trevor Cullinan at S&P wrote. Saudi Arabia, which relies on oil and gas for about 90 percent of government revenue and for 85 percent of its exports, may face \u201csustained\u201d budget deficits over the next few years as lower crude prices persist, the rating company said.\nSaudi Rating Gets S&P Jolt as Four Oil-Nation Credits Are Cut - Saudi Arabia headed a list of oil-producing nations whose credit ratings were cut by Standard & Poor\u2019s on Wednesday amid the collapse in crude prices. The country\u2019s credit grade was cut two levels to A- from A+ as the decline in oil prices will have \u201ca marked and lasting impact\u201d on the economy of the biggest OPEC producer. Oman\u2019s was lowered to BBB- from BBB+, following a reduction in November. Kazakhstan is now rated BBB-, down from BBB, while Bahrain was lowered to BB from BBB-, putting it two steps below investment grade and the only one of the four to be rated junk. The Saudi downgrade comes less than four months after S&P cut the kingdom\u2019s credit rating one level to A+ in late October, when Brent crude was selling for around $50 a barrel. It settled at $34.50 a barrel in London on Wednesday. The agreement made this week among the world\u2019s leading oil producers to curb production and revive prices won\u2019t have a material impact on S&P\u2019s crude price assumptions, the company said in a statement. \u201cThe fact that Standard and Poor\u2019s cut the ratings of a number of energy-exporting countries reflects the agency\u2019s outlook on the price of oil,\u201d Steve Hooker, who helps oversee $12.5 billion of debt at Newfleet Asset Management LLC in Hartford, Connecticut, said by phone. \u201cEven though a slump in oil prices isn\u2019t news to anyone, this sends a signal to the markets and adds to the nervousness regarding the prospects for Brent\u2019s performance.\u201d Saudi Arabia\u2019s growth in real per-capita gross domestic product will fall below that of its peers, while the annual average increase in the government\u2019s debt burden could exceed 7 percent of GDP through 2019, according to the S&P statement. The outlook for the rating is stable, reflecting an expectation that the country \u201cwill take steps to prevent any further deterioration in the government\u2019s fiscal position\u201d the credit rating company said.\nThe Curse of Natural Resources -- The NY Times reports on the challenge that young Saudis face as oil prices collapse. It tells a story of a nation where everyone appears to have a soft life of working for the government. The piece ends with the following quote: \"Four Saudi workers gathered in a break room said they liked their jobs but worried that they would not be as successful as their fathers, all of whom worked for the government. They knew the government had less money to employ citizens, which meant their generation would have to work harder. \u201cThe government is good, but our generation is spoiled,\u201d said Ahmed Mohammed, 21. \u201cEveryone wants a government job.\u201d His colleagues agreed. \u201cEveryone wants to sit at home and get paid,\u201d Mr. Alkhelaifi said.\" So, the government offered a \"free lunch\" to the people and created a very unusual nation. Now that the \"good life\" is over, how will the people of Saudi Arabia adapt? Will the young invest in the human capital to be agile in the modern economy? In the medium term, will there be a silver lining of this natural resource valuation collapse as the people invest in a more sustainable source of wealth (i.e investing in human capital). With the collapse in oil revenue, will women start to work as the issues that Japan's leader Abe raised a few years ago? Or, are the people of the Middle East unable and unwilling to make this pivot? Do you argue that this group has formed an \"addiction\" to cashing oil checks and now that the money flow is gone that this group won't adapt and might instead turn to violence? How has Israel achieved great success without oil? Did the absence of oil cause its success as human capital became \"the only game in town\"?\nRussia\u2019s grip on Syria tightens as brittle ceasefire deal leaves US out in the cold - Russia\u2019s economy may be stumbling as oil prices fall, but in a week of extraordinary military and diplomatic turmoil over the war in Syria, President Vladimir Putin has proved that his global influence and ambitions have only been sharpened by financial troubles. For now he seems to be calling all the shots in Syria\u2019s civil war. Russian jets allowed Syrian government troops to break out of a stalemate in Aleppo, cutting supply routes into a city that has been a rebel stronghold for years. With hundreds of thousands of people facing siege in the ruins of Aleppo, and Europe fearful that thousands more fleeing to the border could trigger a new influx of refugees, top diplomats gathered to agree a flimsy ceasefire deal. Russia wrung so many concessions out of others around the table that the deal seemed more an endorsement of its role in Syria than a challenge to it. Hostilities would not stop for about two weeks and, even when they did, bombing campaigns against \u201cterrorists\u201d could continue. That effectively allows Russia to continue bombing as before, since it has always claimed only to target extremists, while focusing more of its bombs on President Bashar al-Assad\u2019s opposition than on Isis or al-Qaida\u2019s Syrian operation, Jabhat al-Nusra.\nSaudi Arabia Enters Syrian Gas Pipeline War --Directly. With jets and the threat of ground troops. On the behalf of Saudi Arabia. And on the behalf of their Sunni proxies in Syria that have been fighting for Sunni control over the Arab/ Sunni Pipeline right of way. Who have lately gotten the s\u2013t kicked out of them by the Shiites, and their allies, the Russians \u2013 who are fighting to control the Iranian /Shia gas pipeline route through Syria.Or in the case of the Russians, who are probably fighting to keep both gas lines from being built. Update from Zero Hedge: Reports indicate the Turkish army has crossed the border into Syria.\u201cThe Syrian government says Turkish forces were believed to be among 100 gunmen it said entered Syria on Saturday accompanied by 12 pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machine guns, in an ongoing supply operation to insurgents fighting Damascus,\u201d Reuters reports. \u201cThe operation of supplying ammunition and weapons is continuing via the Bab al-Salama crossing to the Syrian area of Azaz,\u201d the Assad government says.Meanwhile, since all that would take to unleash a full-blown war is for some Russian to be unexpectedly blown up, events like this do not inspire much confidence in the Syrian \u201cceasefire\u201d: On Saturday, the geopolitical world was shocked when Turkey began shelling Aleppo, where the Syrian opposition has its back against the wall in the face of an aggressive advance by Hezbollah and the IRGC supported, of course, by Russian airstrikes. To be sure, everyone knew Ankara and Riyadh would have to do something quick if they wanted to preserve the rebellion. Their proxies are being rolled up rapidly by Hassan Nasrallah\u2019s army and Vladimir Putin\u2019s air force juggernaut. But few expected the escalation would come so quickly. But Recep Tayyip Erdogan is unpredictable (just ask the lone surviving pilot of the Su-24 Turkey shot down in November) and this weekend, he decided that there\u2019s no time like the present when it comes to starting World War III.\nTurkey Says \"Massive Escalation\" In Syria Imminent As Saudis Set To Launch Airstrikes --Even as all sides - including the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and select rebel groups - pretend to be working towards a ceasefire and a diplomatic solution to the five year conflict in Syria, actions speak louder than words, and to put it as succinctly as possible, everyone is still fighting. In fact, the fighting is more intense than ever. Russia and Hezbollah are closing in on Aleppo, the country\u2019s largest city and a key urban center where rebels are dug in for what amounts to a last stand. If the city is liberated by the government (and yes, \u201cliberated\u201d is more accurate than \u201cfalls\u201d because occupied territory belongs to the Syrian government, not to Sunni extremists), Assad will have regained control of the country\u2019s backbone in the west.That would effectively mean the end of the rebellion and the Gulf monarchies, not to mention Turkey, are not happy about it. \u201cThe main battle is about cutting the road between Aleppo and Turkey, for Turkey is the main conduit of supplies for the terrorists,\u201d Assad said in an interviewwith AFP on Friday. That supply line has been severed and now, it\u2019s do or die time for the rebels\u2019 Sunni benefactors in Ankara, Riyadh, and Doha. Either intervene or watch as Hezbollah rolls up the opposition under cover of Russian airstrikes, restoring the Assad government and securing the Shiite crescent for the Iranians.\nTurkey Vows \"Harshest Reaction\" To Kurdish Advance In Syria As Missiles Hit Hospitals, School - Over the weekend, the biggest story in the geopolitical world was Turkey\u2019s escalation in Syria. With the Sunni-backed opposition on its last legs in Aleppo and under near constant bombardment by Russia from the air and Hezbollah on the ground, Ankara and Riyadh have a decision to make: intervene or allow the rebellion to be crushed. We\u2019ve spilled quite a bit of digital ink explaining why allowing the rebels to be routed really isn\u2019t an option. It would represent a key victory for Iran at a time when the country is already on a roll. International sanctions have been lifted, oil revenue is set to quintuple by year end, and Tehran\u2019s grip on Iraqis military and politicians is stronger than ever. A victory in Syria would be an embarrassment for the Saudis who have funded and armed the opposition and a win at Aleppo would give the Iranians sectarian bragging rights at a time when tensions between Riyadh and Tehran are already running high thanks to the execution of prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr. And so, with the stakes high, the Saudis sent warplanes to Turkey\u2019s Incirlik air base and Turkey promised an imminent \u201cescalation.\u201d The problem, we said, is this: somehow, Turkey and Saudi Arabia need to figure out how to spin an attack on the YPG and an effort to rescue the opposition at Aleppo as an anti-ISIS operation even though ISIS doesn\u2019t have a large presence in the area.\nAt least 7 dead after airstrike hits Doctors Without Borders hospital in northern Syria (Reuters) - Seven people were killed in air strikes in Syria on a hospital supported by Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), the charity's France president said on Monday, adding that he believed Russia or Syrian government forces were behind the attack. \"There were at least seven deaths among the personnel and the patients, and at least eight MSF personnel have disappeared, and we don't know if they are alive,\" Mego Terzian told Reuters. The hospital near Murat al-Numan in the northern Syrian province of Idlib was struck earlier on Monday by four missiles. \"The author of the strike is clearly ... either the government or Russia,\" he said, adding that it was not the first time MSF facilities had been targeted in the country. The hospital, which has 54 staff and 30 beds, is financed by the medical charity. MSF also supplies medicine and equipment to the facility.\n\"We Are In A New Cold War\": Russia PM Delivers Stark Warning To NATO -- It was just two days ago when Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev warned that if Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar invade Syria in a transparent attempt to shore up their Sunni proxy armies currently under siege by Moscow\u2019s warplanes and Hezbollah, a \u201cnew world war\u201d would be inevitable. He also indicated that such a conflict would likely drag on for \u201cdecades.\u201d \u201cDo they really think they would win such a war very quickly? That's impossible, especially in the Arabic world,\u201d Medvedev said. \u201cThere everyone is fighting against everyone... everything is far more complicated. It could take years or decades.\" On Saturday, Medvedev was back at it with the hyperbole (or at least we hope it\u2019s hyperbole) in Munich where more than 60 foreign and defense ministers are gathered for the 52nd Munich Security Conference. In his speech, the PM challenged NATO\u2019s military maneuvers in the Baltics as well as the alliance\u2019s general approach towards relations with The Kremlin. \u201cThe political line of NATO toward Russia remains unfriendly and closed,\u201d he said in a speech to the conference. \u201cIt can be said more sharply: We have slid into a time of a new cold war.\u201d\u201cNATO on Wednesday approved new reinforcements for eastern Europe, including stepped-up troop rotations on its eastern flanks and more naval patrols in the Baltic Sea,\u201d Bloomberg notes. \u201cIn response, the Kremlin dismissed the alliance\u2019s argument that the move was merely defensive.\u201d\nUS Allies Are Now Fighting CIA-Backed Rebels In Syria \u2013 On the same day Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claimed his fighters would retake the entire country \u201cwithout hesitation,\u201dunnamed American defense officials revealed to the Daily Beastthat the same Iraqi militias who were previously fighting ISIL alongside the U.S. are now actively collaborating with Russian and Iranian forces to \u201ccrush\u201d American-backed rebels in Aleppo. According to the report: \u201cAt least three Shia militias involved in successful battles against ISIS in Iraq \u2014 the Badr Brigade, Kata\u2019ib Hezbollah, and the League of the Righteous \u2014 have acknowledged taking casualties in fighting in south and southeast Aleppo province. U.S. defense officials confirmed to The Daily Beast that they believe \u2018at least one\u2019 unit of the Badr Brigade is fighting in southern Aleppo alongside other Iraqi militia groups. Those groups are backed by Russian airpower and Iranian troops \u2014 and all of whom are bolstering President Bashar al-Assad\u2019s Syrian Arab Army.\u201d Telling of the complex quagmire, the report indicates the same Shia militias fighting with the U.S. to maintain its installed government in Iraq are battling against the U.S.-backed forces - including those armed by the CIA - by bolstering Russian and Iranian efforts to bring control of the Syrian city back to Assad.\nRoad To World War III: Turkey Shells Syria For Second Day As Saudi Warplanes Arrive - On Saturday, the geopolitical world was shocked when Turkey began shelling Aleppo, where the Syrian opposition has its back against the wall in the face of an aggressive advance by Hezbollah and the IRGC backed, of course, by Russian airstrikes. To be sure everyone knew Ankara and Riyadh would have to do something quick if they wanted to preserve the rebellion. Their proxies are being rolled up rapidly by Hassan Nasrallah\u2019s army and Vladimir Putin\u2019s air force juggernaut. But few expected the escalation would come so quickly. But Recep Tayyip Erdogan is unpredictable (just ask the lone surviving pilot of the Su-24 Turkey shot down in November) and this weekend, he decided that there\u2019s no time like the present when it comes to starting World War III. Officially, Turkey says it\u2019s shelling Kurdish positions in Syria in self defense. It\u2019s all about securing the border against hostiles, Ankara says. Of course the idea that the YPG are set to invade Turkey is laughable. The Syrian Kurds have secured enough space in their own country to declare an autonomous proto-state, and they needn\u2019t aspire to capturing Turkish territory. But for Erdogan, that\u2019s precisely the problem. Ankara fears the YPG\u2019s gains will embolden the PKK militarily and the HDP politically and last June\u2019s elections clearly suggest that an emboldened Kurdish minority has the power to shake up the political scene. And so, Turkey is set to take the fight to Syria in the name of fighting \u201cterrorists\u201d, which for Erdogan, means eradicating the Kurds. As we noted on Saturday, the challenge for Ankara and Riyadh is this: somehow, Turkey and Saudi Arabia need to figure out how to spin an attack on the YPG and an effort to rescue the opposition at Aleppo as an anti-ISIS operation even though ISIS doesn\u2019t have a large presence in the area.\nTurkey Will \"Definitely\" Join Ground Operation In Syria, Accuses Russia Of \"War Crimes\" -- Turkey shelled Syria for a fourth consecutive day on Tuesday as Ankara steps up efforts to bolster rebels in the face of an advance by the Kurdish YPG. \u201cAs many as 150 terrorists were killed during the 4-day-long shelling targeting PYD points,\u201d the pro-government Yeni Safak wrote today, adding that \u201cthe PYD, backed by both the US and Russia, is working with President Bashar al-Assad to control areas along the Turkish border.\u201d The move by Russia and Iran to encircle Aleppo and cut rebel supply lines to Turkey has allowed the YPG to advance on towns near the border, effectively consolidating the group\u2019s grip on northern Syria, where they\u2019ve been highly successful at holding large swaths of territory.That\u2019s an especially undesirable outcome for Ankara where President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is hell bent on rolling back a groundswell of popular support for the pro-Kurdish HDP which, at least in AKP\u2019s mind, is merely the political arm of the PKK. Erdogan doesn\u2019t distinguish between the PKK (which both Turkey and the US officially designate as a terror group) and the YPG. The US, on the other hand, openly supports the Syrian Kurds and has backed their advances with airstrikes. Ankara fears that if the YPG are allowed to bridge the territory they control east of the Euphrates with territory they control west of the river, they will effectively establish a proto-state on the border which would embolden the PKK to try something similar in southeast Turkey where some Kurds are already pushing for autonomy.\nSyria Op-Ed: The US Has No Plan B to Deal with Russia and Iran\u2019s Plan A - With no more than a smile and a shoeshine, Secretary of State John Kerry seeks to persuade Russia to do the right thing by Syria: to force its client Assad regime to lift sieges on a million helpless civilians; to wind down a Russian Air Force campaign stampeding terrified Syrians in the direction of Turkey; and to support all-Syrian negotiations that can produce a transitional governing body to unify the country against the Islamic State. Perhaps Russian President Vladimir Putin will take pity on Syrians and the United States of America. This is what it will take for Washington\u2019s Syria strategy to work. There is no leverage. There is no Plan B. Instead, there is a fundamental asymmetry that has been in place since the start of the Syrian crisis in 2011. Russia and Iran have wanted Bashar al-Assad politically alive far more than Washington has wanted him dead. This might have been a manageable state of affairs if what was happening in Syria had only stayed in Syria. In the summer of 2011, thinking that Assad was finished, President Barack Obama called on him to leave. In the summer of 2012, thinking that the resilient Assad would never defy him, Obama warned of a chemical red line not to be crossed. In the summer of 2013 after the red line had been defiantly crossed via a major chemical atrocity, thinking that cruise missile strikes against Assad\u2019s instruments of terror would put him on the slippery slope to invasion and occupation and perhaps alienate Iran, the American President panicked, backed down, and permitted Russia to broker a chemical weapons deal that enabled Assad to double down on mass homicide and make a mockery of a February 2014 Geneva peace conference.\nHow Far Will The U.S. Go If Turkey Invades Syria? --The Government of Turkey has now put itself in a position whereby it must act rapidly and precipitously to avoid moving to an ultimately losing strategic position in the war against Syria, which could result in being forced back to fight a full-scale civil war to prevent the break-up of the State into at least two components, one being a new Kurdish state. Turkey\u2019s leadership, in insisting - in 2011-12 - on sponsoring a proxy war to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, has already led to a refugee crisis of irreversible strategic damage to Europe, but Turkish Presisdent Re\u00e7ep Tayyip Erdogan, the Saudi Arabian military-political leadership, the U.S. Barack Obama administration, and the Qatari Emir now find themselves with nowhere to go except to escalate further in the hope that the Syrian revival, backed by Russia and Iran, will collapse. Clear indications are emerging in Washington, DC, that the Pentagon is preparing to support a direct military invasion of Syria by Turkish Armed Forces, despite the Munich accord in the week ending February 13, 2016, which was meant to bring about a ceasefire in Syrian fighting. US officials have been actively engaged with those of Turkey and possibly Saudi Arabia in the preparations for ground force attacks on Kurd-ish military formations inside northern Syria, and U.S. Air Force Fairchild A-10 strike aircraft have deployed over northern Syrian territory in early February. The planned intervention by Turkey (and possibly other powers, such as Saudi Arabia) is specifically not aimed at countering the activities of ISIS (asad-Dawlah al-Islamiyah al-\u2018Iraq wash-Sham/Islamic State), but solely about countering the growing capability of Syrian- and Iraqi-based Kurdish fighters, and to offset the gains which Syrian Government forces, supported by Russian and Iranian/HizbAllah forces, made in and around Aleppo. The prospect of yet another abandonment of the Kurds is causing considerable division within some U.S. military and intelligence circles, but the fiction is that the Turkish battle is with ISIS.\nTurkey Blames Kurds, Assad For Terrorist Attack, Vows Swift Response - Moments after a massive explosion rocked Ankara on Wednesday, we said the following: \u201cExpect this to be pinned on either ISIS or the PKK. If it's the latter, Ankara will once again claim that the group is working in concert with the YPG and that will be all the evidence Erdogan needs to march across the border.\u201d In short, we wondered whether the bombing - which apparently targeted military barracks - would be just the excuse President Recep Tayyip Erdogan needed to launch an all-out ground invasion in Syria. Turkey has been shelling YPG positions for nearly a week in an effort to keep the group (which Ankara equates with the \u201cterrorist\u201d PKK) from cutting the Azaz corridor - the last lifeline between Turkey and the rebels fighting to oust Bashar al-Assad. It\u2019s unlikely that cross-border fire will ultimately halt the YPG advance and so, Erdogan needs an excuse to send in the ground troops. Sure enough, Ankara has blamed the YPG for the attack and is vowing to retaliate.\nRussia's Trap: Luring Sunnis Into War -\nWashington should think more than twice about allowing Turkey and Saudi Arabia, its Sunni allies, militarily to engage their Shiite enemies in Syria. Allowing Sunni supremacists into a deeper sectarian war is not a rational way to block Russian expansion in the eastern Mediterranean. And it certainly will not serve America's interests.\nTurkey and Saudi Arabia are too weak militarily to damage Russia's interests. It is a Russian trap -- and precisely what the Russians are hoping their enemies will fall into.\nAfter Russia's increasingly bold military engagement in war-torn Syria in favor of President Bashar al-Assad and the Shiite bloc, the regional Sunni powers -- Turkey and its ally, Saudi Arabia -- have felt nervous and incapable of influencing the civil war in favor of the many Islamist groups fighting Assad's forces.Most recently, the Turks and Saudis, after weeks of negotiations, decided to flex their muscles and join forces to engage a higher-intensity war in the Syrian theater. This is dangerous for the West. It risks provoking further Russian and Iranian involvement in Syria, and sparking a NATO-Russia confrontation.\nRussia Demands End To Turkey's Efforts To Undermine Syrian Sovereignty -- Over the past several days, Turkey has been busy putting the world on the course to World War III. The YPG - which Ankara identifies with the \u201cterrorist\u201d PKK- has contributed to the Russian and Iranian effort to cut off the Azaz corridor, the last remaining supply line to the rebels fighting to oust Bashar al-Assad in Syria. The Kurdish effort to unite territory the group holds east of the Euphrates with cities it hold west of the river in Syria has infuriated Ankara, which views the YPG advance as a kind of precursor to Kurdish independence in Turkey. The solution, Turkey says, is a 10 km incursion into Syria, an effort which will establish a \u201csafe zone\u201d for those fleeing the violence that plagues the country\u2019s besieged urban centers. That, of course, is merely an excuse for Ankara to send ground troops into the country, where the Sunni-sponsored effort to overthrow Assad is on its last legs. The deadly bombing in Ankara that claimed the lives of several dozen people on Thursday is predictably being trotted out as an excuse to put Turkish boots on the ground in Syria.\nBilal Erdogan Accused Of Money Laundering In Italy - Bilal is the son of Turkish dictator President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who is on the verge of kicking off World War III by invading Syria in what is sure to be an ill-fated effort to shore up rebel forces and preserve the Azaz corridor, the last remaining supply line for the opposition which is staging what amounts to a last stand at Aleppo. Erdogan\u2019s family was put under the microscope by the Russian defense ministry in the wake of Ankara\u2019s decision to shoot down a Russian Su-24 on the Syrian border in late November. \"What a brilliant family business!,\" Deputy Minister of Defence Anatoly Antonov remarked, at a press briefing documenting Turkey's connection to Islamic State's illicit oil trafficking operation. For those who might have missed the backstory, you're encouraged to read the following articles in their entirety:\nThe Most Important Question About ISIS That Nobody Is Asking\nMeet The Man Who Funds ISIS: Bilal Erdogan, The Son Of Turkey's President\nHow Turkey Exports ISIS Oil To The World: The Scientific Evidence\nISIS Oil Trade Full Frontal: \"Raqqa's Rockefellers\", Bilal Erdogan, KRG Crude, And The Israel Connection\nPut simply, there are any number of reasons to believe that AKP and the Erdogan family are complicit in the sale of illicit crude not only from Massoud Barzani and the Iraqi Kurds, but from Islamic State as well. ISIS oil and Erbil's crude are both technically \"undocumented\" and considering that \"the terrorists\" are only producing around 45,000 b/d versus the 630,000 b/d the Iraqi Kurds are churning out, it's easy for Islamic State's product to get \"lost\" or to disappear as a rounding error, as it were. Some say Bilal Erdogan is directly involved in getting ISIS crude to market via the Turkish port of Ceyhan, where tanker rates mysteriously spike around siginificant oil-related events involving Islamic State.\nStart Preparing for the Collapse of the Saudi Kingdom - For half a century, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been the linchpin of U.S. Mideast policy. A guaranteed supply of oil has bought a guaranteed supply of security. Ignoring autocratic practices and the export of Wahhabi extremism, Washington stubbornly dubs its ally \u201cmoderate.\u201d So tight is the trust that U.S. special operators dip into Saudi petrodollars as a counterterrorism slush fund without a second thought. In a sea of chaos, goes the refrain, the kingdom is one state that\u2019s stable.But is it? In fact, Saudi Arabia is no state at all. There are two ways to describe it: as a political enterprise with a clever but ultimately unsustainable business model, or so corrupt as to resemble in its functioning a vertically and horizontally integrated criminal organization. Either way, it can\u2019t last. It\u2019s past time U.S. decision-makers began planning for the collapse of the Saudi kingdom. In recent conversations with military and other government personnel, we were startled at how startled they seemed at this prospect. Here\u2019s the analysis they should be working through. Understood one way, the Saudi king is CEO of a family business that converts oil into payoffs that buy political loyalty. They take two forms: cash handouts or commercial concessions for the increasingly numerous scions of the royal clan, and a modicum of public goods and employment opportunities for commoners. The coercive \u201cstick\u201d is supplied by brutal internal security services lavishly equipped with American equipment. The U.S. has long counted on the ruling family having bottomless coffers of cash with which to rent loyalty. Even accounting today\u2019s low oil prices, and as Saudi officials step up arms purchases and military adventures in Yemen and elsewhere, Riyadh is hardly running out of funds. Still, expanded oil production in the face of such low prices\u2014until the Feb. 16 announcement of a Saudi-Russian freeze at very high January levels\u2014may reflect an urgent need for revenue as well as other strategic imperatives. Talk of a Saudi Aramco IPO similarly suggests a need for hard currency. What if the price of loyalty rises?\nChina again suspends oil price adjustment - China's top economic planner will not adjust domestic retail oil prices as global prices stayed below an official price floor introduced in January, it announced on Monday. Under the current mechanism, prices of refined oil products are adjusted when crude prices translate into a change of more than 50 yuan (over $7.5) per tonne for gasoline and diesel prices for a period of 10 working days. However, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced in January that China will not cut its fuel prices when international oil prices fall below $40 a barrel, which immediately triggered a suspension on January 27. The floor aims to buffer the negative effects of price swings, the NDRC said. Global oil prices have experienced sharp changes since the second half of 2014. Brent has dropped to around $33 on Monday, while WTI was only slightly higher than $29. The NDRC is closely watching the operation of the current pricing mechanism and will continue to improve it based on market changes, according to an NDRC notice. Despite the economic slowdown, China remains a major oil importer and consumer, importing nearly 60 percent of what it uses. Its crude oil imports rose 8.8 percent from the previous year to 336 million tonnes in 2015.\nChesapeake quits Ohio, natural gas reported at a 1...\na Russian / OPEC oil freeze, a Deloitte report on ...\noil bounces off 13 year low, the coming Chesapeake...\nnew record for oil and gasoline stores, a record d...",

        "raw_content": "Try These 4 Ways Of Beating The Cigarette!\nBeating the cigarette has been something most of the population has tried to do with or without success. Before the technology that has overrun the world was around, people used to do it cold turkey way, accompanied by bouts of headaches, nausea and mood swings. Today it is easier and a bit different from the cold turkey method, although some purists decide to go it that way.\nCigarette smoking is an epidemic, all over the world, millions of people are hopelessly addicted and without a long lasting solution that can help them get over all the ticks that come with cigarette smoking. In actual sense, you are dealing with numerous problems brought about by this habit. They include:\ni. Nicotine addiction caused by the nicotine found in the cigarette such that as you smoke, your body gets used to the nicotine and develops a dependency that helps your brain produce a large amount of dopamine, which brings about the euphoric feeling.\nii. There is the issue of oral fixation as the mouth is used to have something on it and will require that you have something to replace this.\niii. Flavor will be necessary especially for people who have a hankering for menthol\nKnowing this, scientists, therapists, and doctors have come up with various tools and techniques to help people quit the habit of smoking. These include:\n1. Ecig\nE-cig is the short form of electronic cigarettes; a new phenomenon in the smoking world as well as a perfect tool to help anyone who is on the road to quit cigarettes. These cigarettes are made of three crucial parts, the atomizer which burns the E-liquid, the cartridge that holds the liquid and the mouthpiece and the battery, which powers the electronic cigarette.\nThis liquid is used in nicotine therapy because it is easy to measure the amount of nicotine intake in to the body and with time, this amount can go on decreasing as the addict tries to recover from dependency on nicotine. Apart from this, the electronic cigarette comes with other advantages such as being able to act as a perfect placebo for oral fixation as the addict heals.\nMany therapies have worked but none has shown the genius and brilliance of the placebo effect. The placebo effect is the science of using a replacement for what the addict is used for only this time you remove the one thing thy are addicted to until their brain accepts the status quo as it believes that everything is the same and sometimes fails to realize that it has something missing.\nIn the case of cigarettes, the doctor could prescribe \u2018nicotine pills\u2019 to replace the need for nicotine. The most important thing for the placebo effect to work is the patient needs to believe that they are getting the accurate medicine. The electronic cigarette can be used as a placebo to help in curbing oral fixation acquired by having a cigarette on your mouth.\n3. Nicotine patch\nNicotine replacement is a key ingredient in the success of quitting tobacco cigarette smoking because it is responsible for addictions among cigarette smokers. This means that the smokers can do well if they did not have the smoke but received their daily dose of nicotine. The nicotine patch was designed to pass this problem as it is stuck on the skin to allow absorption of nicotine into the body.\nDepending on the number of packs one used to smoke, a doctor can prescribe the best number of patches that you can use per day until dependence is done. It can be used together with the electronic cigarette as they both replace nicotine slowly, as they reduce until one day it is just the minty or chocolate flavor that is left in the liquid chamber.\nThis is a new method, but the reviews say that it is a clear and true way of helping people get over the habit of smoking. Psychoanalysts believe that hypnosis helps you to reach out to regions of your brain that depend on the nicotine and you can be able to shut the urge down. Other forms embrace going back in time in the patient\u2019s mind to the first time he tried to smoke and cancel it such that the body has no recollection and you consequently stop smoking.\nJay is a professional blogger and a health expert who is a champion in the anti-smoking campaign. He has written articles on the South Beach Smoke Electronic Cigarettes to help people understand why the E-cigs can help.\nSoftware Development \u2013 A Look At The Complete Cycle",

I took a little damage one one raid. But I learned. Don't get in the firing range of that battleships forward gun. That gun packs a punch. So does the rear gun, but if you take that our with your first torpedo salvo you don't have to worry about it. I've been hitting the destroyers and gunboats hard after the first strike on the battleship. That way they don't cause me any trouble.\nA few time some Kusari police came along to help the Navy. They should stick to fighting pirates. My order shield is too strong for them to take it down and they learn their mistake too late. The Blood Dragons have taken to calling me Daggit The Destroyer. I kind of like the title. Makes me feel important.\n______________________________________________________________Daggit The Destroyer out\nThings seem be getting rather routine these days. But at least my income is steady. I'm starting to feel at home on kyoto.\nscreen98.jpg [ 231.22 KiB | Viewed 5215 times ]\nNow it seems the corsairs have also heard of my prowess against the fleets. They have asked me to help them establish a more commanding presence in southern Cambridge. In order to get their artifacts to Trafalgar they must pass through the Cambridge system. Since the pirates in that area have no interest in helping them they have come to me. They are even offering more money than the Blood dragons.\nToday I dispatched about four Britoninan fleets. I was only slightly harder than dealing with the kusari fleets. The battleship are more difficult to disarm due to the strategic placement of gun batteries. If you can take out the rear turret on the topside of the ship you can avoid destruction by keeping behind the battleship. Watch out for those destroyers though. They hit hard and fast.\n______________________________________________________Daggit out\nscreen146.jpg [ 154.9 KiB | Viewed 5201 times ]\nI've racked up over 300 fleet kills. I'm getting quite wealthy from it as well. There are times when I get back to base and spend way more on repairs than I'd like. the bill can be as high as 52 M. but if I've got 2 fleet commanders in my hold I still make a small profit.\nthese gunboats look mean but if you move fast enough to avoid their guns they can be taken out by gunfire alone.\nToday I had a little bad luck with the fleets. I had to pay a repair bill of 92,965,285. A bit more than I got for the three Fleet commanders in my hold. The damage would've much less had I not attacked the third fleet. I was on my way to get repairs when they came up right in front of my ship. In addition the the damage I lost my CD and CM. Another 18.7 M replacement cost. Even though I lost money on that raid I made so much on the other raids I'm still way ahead of the game. I'll get more of these fleets later.\n________________________________________________________________________Daggit out",

        "raw_content": "Eric Cantona Reveals Why He Would Rather Have Pep Guardiola Than Jos\u00e9 Mourinho At Manchester United\nPosted by Kwadwo Ntiamoah | Published on November 26, 2017\nManchester United legend Eric Cantona says whilst appreciates Jos\u00e9 Mourinho, he would rather see Pep Guardiola in charge of his former club.\nCantona, speaking to BBC Radio Four,described Mourinho as a \u2018winner who will continue to win\u2019 but criticized his conservative style of play.\nThe Frenchman told BBC 5 Live, as quoted by the Independent: \u201cI love Mourinho as a manager and I said it before he arrived in Manchester, he is very intelligent, clever, he takes all the pressure on himself.\u201d\n\u201cHe has a lot of charisma, has won a lot of things and will win a lot of things. But, the football I played, and (Sir Alex) Ferguson played, Matt Busby before, it was very creative.\u201d\n\u201cBoth Guardiola and Mourinho are great, but I prefer attacking football, when it\u2019s more creative. It\u2019s the way I tried to play all my career.\u201d\n\u201cI cannot understand why United would take a manager who plays in a defensive way. I love Mourinho, but I prefer to watch Barcelona play.\u201d\n\u201cI prefer the way Guardiola plays, and I would prefer him as manager of Manchester United, it\u2019s more logical. I don\u2019t watch Manchester City because it\u2019s Manchester City, but I would love to watch the team managed by Guardiola.\u201d\nManchester United and Manchester City started the season with similar results but all of that changed after two losses to Huddersfield and Chelsea, United find themselves eight points behind Guardiola\u2019s City, given the Citizens beat Huddersfield on Super Sunday after United came out as 1-0 winners against Brighton on Saturday.",

        "raw_content": "The Importance Of Windshield Wipers-didadi\nCustomer Service Have you ever driven in bad weather and find that your wiper is not able to withstand the weather? Poor visibility is usually the result and you find yourself having to stop on the side of the road or take the next exit. It is dangerous to drive in bad weather without a pair of good windshield wipers . Rain, thunderstorm, hurricane, sleet, and hail contribute to bad weather and harsh driving conditions. It is hazardous and not very wise to drive in these types of weather. The roads become wet, slick and slipper during times like these, but the idea that you cannot see in front of you is reason to be concerned. As your visibility begins to be affected, your windshield wipers have to be engaged and turned up to higher speed. It is obvious that visibility is a key factor during driving and so as a driver, it is your responsibility to make sure that your windshield wipers are able to withstand any type of inclement weather before deciding to go on the road or travel any long distance from home. To combat low visibility, windshield wipers and headlights are essential to the driving process. They help to keep the rainfall from clouding the front window of your vehicle, which allows you to see clearly in front of you. You can set windshield wipers to function at various speeds, which means you can set it to operate quickly if the weather is severe. The windshield wiper is an element of the car that can be worn out after a while. Therefore, it is very important to look out for any deterioration of your windshield wiper and try to replace them before they get worse. You will find that windshield wipers have various costs; some run very cheap and you have others that are priced higher. You will get exactly what you purchase. The cheaper ones may be of lower quality and wont last for a very long time. You can, however, expand the life of the windshield wipers. You can do this by making sure that your wipers are cleaned continuously. You can keep them clean by washing them regularly and avoid using any type of acidic chemicals. Clean out all debris from your windshield wipers to make sure that your windshield wipers will operate at a peak performance. If your wipers are worn out, it is best to have them changed, which means that you have to purchase new ones. It is easy to notice when the windshield wipers have worn out. You will see your windshield begin to streak during use of the wiper. This will make it harder for you to see where you are going. Before you go out to purchase a windshield wiper blade, you have to know the size of the blade. Every wiper is different for each vehicle. The size of the blade is essential because it works better when you encounter heavy rain so that you can be safe. If you have small wiper blades , they might not be able to clean a wider area of the windshield. On the other hand, if you have large wiper blades, they might not operate properly and this is also disadvantageous to your driving safety. When you are shopping for good windshield wipers at your auto store, ask for the reference book that will tell you what size your windshield wiper blade should be for your particular vehicle. Your vehicles manual may have the same information if you cannot find it in a auto parts store. You always want to have the right windshield wiper because it will save you from car accidents that may eventually lead to damaging injuries. You should know as a driver that it is against the law to drive on main highways without an installed windshield wiper. This illegality is explained by the fact that without a windshield wiper, you not only put yourself at a safety risk, but also other motorist that may be traveling in the same path or on the same roadway as you are. In fact, many accidents are caused by faulty windshield wipers. Windshield wipers are the definitive security features of a vehicle and it is very important that every vehicle has these. Water is not able to build up on the windscreen when you have a good windshield wiper. However, if you reside in a place where the climate is hot, make sure that you maintain your windshield wipers because the heat tends to make them dried out and stiff.

        "raw_content": "On a Wednesday in November 2008 was just one of those days.\nTuesday in the afternoon the phone rang and I got an invitation as a Shoa survivor to attend the next day a short session in the Knesset in remembrance of \u201c70 years to the pogrom of the Kristalnight\u201d.\nOf I went Wednesday morning at 10.00 o\u2019clock and set in the special guest gallery, the nearer one without the glass dividing wall and had a good view of the constant comings and goings of the members of the Knesset. They rush in when the voting is announced and it is in their interest that some law of theirs or their party should be passed. As soon as they have pressed the voting button they rush out again. On the way out they stop to talk to somebody, or listen to their phone, which they are not allowed to do so in the main hall, others call out aloud when they disagree with what is being said. The speaker of the Knesset often has to raise her voice to tell a member to behave according to the rules or else to leave the hall.\nPunctually at 12.00 o\u2019clock, according to the timetable, three members of the Knesset spoke in remembrance of :\n\u201c70 years to the pogrom in November 1938\u201d, the night when well over a thousand Synagogues burned, jewish shops were broken in and plundered, and Jewish men were taken to KZ / concentration camps.\nThat was the point of no return. From then on things got steadily worth for the Jewish people. Palestine was a British Mandate with restricted Jewish immigration and no other country wanted us.\nAfter the speeches, as invited guests, the survivors had lunch at the Knesset restaurant.\nSoon after I got home a guest from Germany arrived, who is the representative of the Berlin Missionary Work, in charge of the Thalita Kumi school in Beth Jala. I invited her to join me at the Cinematek for the book launch of \u201c60 Years 60 Voices\u201d.\nPatricia Smith Melton founder and board chair of Peace x Peace women net working had interviewed 30 Palestinian women and 30 Israeli women and published 60 stories and vision in a beautiful book in English, Arabic and Hebrew. At a reception all those interviewed were presented with the book. My guest was amazed to see how Palestinian and Israeli women interacted and had shared interest.\nI met old friends and made new acquaintances, including the wife of a UN official.\nFrom there the director of IPCRI kindly drove me all the way to Tantur (next to the checkpoint on the road to Bethlehem) for our monthly Christian Jewish Dialog meeting of \u201cRainbow\u201d, a group founded many years ago and still going strong. Next to me sat a visiting Scholar from Rome from the Pontificia Universita Gregoriana.\nAs is the case mostly, I got a lift home from a friend who is in charge of the Johanniter Hospiz in the Old City. Groups that stay in the Hospiz often come to my home to listen to me telling the story of my family.\nComes evening I was tired and pleased to get to bed.\nAs the saying goes : \u201cAll in a days work\u201d.",

        "raw_content": "Punk rock, pop punk, alternative rock\nGreen Day is an American punk rock trio formed in 1987. The band has consisted of Billie Joe Armstrong (lead vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass guitar, backing vocals) and Tr\u00e9 Cool (drums, backing vocals) for the majority of its existence.\nGreen Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releases for independent record label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label. Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie (1994) became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone, and 15 million copies sold worldwide. As a result, Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States. Green Day's three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum, and gold status respectively. Green Day's 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the U.S. The next rock opera was 21st Century Breakdown released in 2009.\nThe band has sold over 85 million records worldwide[1], They also have four Grammy Awards, Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, and Record of the Year for \"Boulevard of Broken Dreams\".\nFormation and Lookout years (1987\u201393)\nIn 1987, 14 year old friends Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt formed a band called Sweet Children. The first Sweet Children show took place on October 17, 1987, at Rod's Hickory Pit in Vallejo, California where Armstrong's mother was working.\nLarry Livermore, owner of Lookout! Records, saw the band play an early show and signed them to his label. In 1989 they recorded their first EP, 1,000 Hours. Before 1,000 Hours was released, the band dropped the name Sweet Children, according to Livermore this was done in order to avoid confusion with another local band, Sweet Baby. The band adopted the name Green Day, allegedly due to their fondness of marijuana.\nLookout! would release Green Day's first LP, 39/Smooth in early 1990. Green Day would record two EPs later that year: Slappy and Sweet Children, the latter of which included some older songs they had recorded for Minneapolis indie label Skene! Records. In 1991, Lookout! Records released 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, a compilation of the 39/Smooth, Slappy, and 1,000 Hours EPs. In late 1990, shortly after the band's first nationwide tour, Sobrante left the East Bay area to attend college.\nBreakthrough Success (1994\u201396)\nFile:GreenDayLogo1994.jpg\nKerplunk's underground success led to a wave of interest coming from major record labels, and eventually they left Lookout! on friendly terms and signed with Reprise Records after attracting the attention of producer Rob Cavallo. Signing to Reprise caused many punk rock fans to regard Green Day as sellouts. After signing with Reprise, the band went to work on recording its major label debut, Dookie.\nReleased in February 1994, and recorded in 3 weeks, Dookie became a commercial success, helped by extensive MTV airplay for the videos of the songs \"Longview\", \"Basket Case\", and \"When I Come Around\", all of which reached the number one position on the Modern Rock Tracks charts. That year, Green Day embarked on a nationwide tour with queercore band Pansy Division as its opening act. The band also joined the lineups of both the Lollapalooza festival and Woodstock 1994, where they started an infamous mud fight. During the concert, a security guard mistook bassist Mike Dirnt for a stage-invading fan and punched out some of his teeth. Viewed by millions via pay-per-view television, the Woodstock 1994 performance further aided Green Day's growing publicity and recognition, and helped push its album to eventual diamond status. In 1995, Dookiewon the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album and the band was nominated for 9 MTV Video Music Awards including Video of the Year.\nIn 1995, a new single for the Angus soundtrack was released, titled \"J.A.R.\". The single went straight to number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song was followed by the band's new album, Insomniac, which was released in the fall of 1995. Insomniac was a much darker and heavier response by the band, compared to the poppier, more melodic Dookie. Insomniac used a piece of art by Winston Smith entitled God Told Me to Skin You Alive for its album cover. The singles released from Insomniac were \"Geek Stink Breath\", \"Brain Stew/Jaded\", \"Walking Contradiction\", and \"Stuck With Me\". Though the album did not approach the success of Dookie, it still sold two million copies in the United States. Insomniac won the band award nominations for Favorite Artist, Favorite Hard Rock Artist, and Favorite Alternative Artist at the 1996 American Music Awards, and the video for \"Walking Contradiction\" got the band a Grammy nomination for Best Video, Short Form, in addition to a Best Special Effects nomination at the MTV Video Music Awards. After that, the band abruptly cancelled a European tour, citing exhaustion.\nNimrod and Warning (1997\u20132002)\nAfter taking a break in 1996, Green Day began to work on a new album in 1997. From the outset, both the band and Cavallo agreed that the album had to be different from its previous records. The result was Nimrod, an experimental deviation from the band's standard pop-punk brand of music. The new album was released in October 1997. It provided a variety of music, from pop-punk, surf rock, and ska, to an acoustic ballad. Nimrod entered the charts at number 10. The success of \"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)\" won the band an MTV Video Award for Best Alternative Video for the song's video, which depicted people undergoing major changes in their lives while Billie Joe Armstrong strummed his acoustic guitar. The song was also used in the second \"clip show\" episode of [Seinfeld and on two episodes of ER. The other singles released from Nimrod were \"Nice Guys Finish Last\", \"Hitchin' a Ride\" and \"Redundant\". The band made a guest appearance in an episode of King of the Hill entitled \"The Man Who Shot Cane Skretteberg\", which aired in 1997.\nIn 2000, Green Day released Warning, a step further in the style that they had hinted at with Nimrod. Critics' reviews of the album were varied. Allmusic gave it 4.5/5 saying \"Warning may not be an innovative record per se, but it's tremendously satisfying.\" Rolling Stone was more critical, giving it 3/5, and saying \"Warning... invites the question: Who wants to listen to songs of faith, hope and social commentary from what used to be snot-core's biggest-selling band?\" Though it produced the hit \"Minority\" and a smaller hit with \"Warning\", some observers were coming to the conclusion that the band was losing relevance,\nThe release of a Greatest Hits compilation, International Superhits!, and an assemblage of B-sides, Shenanigans, followed Warning. International Superhits and its companion collection of music videos, International Supervideos!, sold reasonably well, going platinum in the U.S. Shenanigans contained some of the band's b-sides, including \"Espionage\" which was featured in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me] and was nominated for a Grammy for Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance|Best Rock Instrumental Performance.\nIn the spring of 2002, Green Day co-headlined the Pop Disaster Tour with Blink-182. Despite the co-headlining title, Green Day would play each show before Blink-182, who at the time were experiencing more success. The tour was documented on the DVD Riding In Vans With Boys.\nAmerican Idiot and renewed popularity (2003\u2013present)\nIn the summer of 2003 the band went into a studio to write and record new material for a new album, tentatively titled Cigarettes and Valentines. After completing 20 tracks, the master tapes were stolen from the studio. The band, understandably upset, chose not to try to re-create the stolen album, but instead started over with a vow to be even better than before. In this same year, Green Day collaborated with Iggy Pop on two tracks for his album Skull Ring. And they underwent serious \"band therapy,\" engaging in several long talks to work out the members' differences after accusations from Dirnt and Cool that Armstrong was \"the band's Nazi\" and a show-off bent on taking the limelight from the other band members.\nThe resulting 2004 album, American Idiot, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts, the band's first ever album to top the chart, backed by the success of the album's first single, \"American Idiot.\" The album was billed as a \"punk rock opera\" which follows the journey of the fictitious \"Jesus of Suburbia\". American Idiot won the 2005 Grammy for \"Best Rock Album\" and the band swept the 2005 MTV music awards, winning a total of seven of the eight awards they were nominated for, including the coveted Viewer's Choice Award.\nThrough 2005, the band toured in support of the album with about 150 dates \u2014 the longest tour in its career \u2014 visiting Japan, Australia, South America and the UK, where they drew a crowd of 130,000 people over a span of two days. While touring for American Idiot they filmed and recorded the two concerts at the Milton Keynes National Bowl in England, which was voted 'The Best Show On Earth' in a Kerrang! Magazine Poll.\nThese recordings were released as a live CD and DVD called Bullet in a Bible on November 15, 2005. This CD/DVD featured hits from American Idiotas well as a few songs from all its previous albums, except \"Kerplunk\" and \"1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours\". The DVD featured behind-the-scenes footage of the band, and showed how the band prepared to put on the show. The final shows of its 2005 world tour were in Sydney, Australia, and Melbourne, Australia, on December 14 and 17 respectively. On January 10, 2006 the band was awarded with a People's Choice Award for favorite group.\nOn August 1, 2005, Green Day announced that that it had rescinded the master rights to its pre-Dookie material from Lookout! Records, citing a continuing breach of contrat regarding unpaid royalties, a complaint shared with other Lookout! bands. The pre-Dookie material, which remained out of print for about a year, was reissued by the band's current label, Reprise, on January 9, 2007 .\nIn 2006, Green Day won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year for \"Boulevard of Broken Dreams\" which spent 16 weeks at the number one position of Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks, a record it shared along with Red Hot Chili Peppers' \"Scar Tissue\" and Staind's \"It's Been Awhile,\" (the record has been since been beaten by Foo Fighters' 2007 hit \"The Pretender\" which reigned at the top spot for 18 weeks).\nIn an interview with Kerrang!, Billie Joe revealed that 2008 would \"be a fair estimate of the release date of their new Untitled Eighth Studio Album.\" In October 2007, Billie Joe announced more on this new album, saying he had been writing new material on the piano, and had around 45 songs. He stated he wanted the new music to dig into what he's feeling at the moment - which is middle-aged.\nOn May 15, 2009, Green Day released \"21st Century Breakdown\".\n\u00a1Uno! \u00a1Dos! \u00a1Tr\u00e9!\nRock and Roll Hall of Fame and Revolution Radio\nMusic style and influences\nGreen Day's sound is often compared to first wave punk bands such as the Ramones, The Clash, Sex Pistols and The Jam. Armstrong's lyrics commonly describe alienation, (\"Jesus of Suburbia\", \"Boulevard of Broken Dreams\", \"Road to Acceptance\", \"Disappearing Boy\", \"Castaway\") hysteria (\"Basket Case\", \"Panic Song\"), girls (\"She\", \"80\" \"Only of You\",\"Maria\", \"She's a Rebel\"), growing up (Longview and Welcome to Paradise), and the effects of doing drugs (\"Geek Stink Breath\", \"Green Day\"). The Ramones had similar lyrical themes, like hysteria (\"Anxiety\", \"Psycho Therapy\"), alienation (\"Outsider\", \"Something To Believe In\"), girls (\"I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend\", \"Sheena Is a Punk Rocker\"), and drugs (\"Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue\", \"Chinese Rocks\"). Green Day has covered Ramones songs several times, including recording \"Outsider\" for the tribute album We're a Happy Family, and performing \"Blitzkrieg Bop\" and \"Teenage Lobotomy\" when the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.\nBeginning with the release of Dookie, and the subsequent explosion of MTV airplay it received, Green Day has received considerable criticism from those who see the punk genre as a social movement independent of corporate sponsorship. With the release of American Idiot and the subsequent draw of many new fans, much of this criticism has been revived.\nOne of the more contentious issues is genre labeling. In reaction to both the style of music and the background of the band, many fans and musicians have taken heavy objection to the usage of the term \"punk\" when applied to Green Day. This is evidenced by the following comments issued by John Lydon (Johnny Rotten), former front man of both the 1970s punk band the Sex Pistols and the 1980s post-punk, Public Image Ltd.\nBrandon Flowers of The Killers went on record in 2007 claiming that Green Day's politically driven concept album American Idiot displays \"calculated Anti-Americanism.\" He explained that he has problems with the album content itself and also the fact that the band's recent live DVD, Bullet in a Painful Spot, was filmed in England. The taping of the concert, featured on Bullet in a Bible, shows thousands of Europeans singing along to \"American Idiot.\" Stating that he felt Green Day's DVD is a bit of a stunt, he said, \"I just thought it was really cheap. To go to a place like England or Germany and sing that song - those kids aren't taking it the same way that he meant it. And he. Billie Joe Armstrong knew it.\"\nMore recently, Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has accused the band of ripping off his song \"Wonderwall\" for \"Boulevard of Broken Dreams\".\nEver since 1991, some members of the band have branched out past Green Day and have started other projects with other musicians. Notable related projects of Green Day include Billie Joe Armstrong's Pinhead Gunpowder (which also features Green Day's live backup guitarist Jason White), The Frustrators in which Mike Dirnt plays bass, and The Network, in which all three members of Green Day play under fake stage names. Billie Joe Armstrong has also confirmed that the main members of Green Day are in the band Foxboro Hot Tubs. A Foxboro Hot Tubs album titled Stop, Drop and Roll!!! was released on 2008-05-20.\nCharity projects that the band have been involved with include the collaboration with U2 (\"The Saints Are Coming\") to help raise money for musical instruments lost in Hurricane Katrina, and teaming with the Natural Resources Defense Council for the\"Move America Beyond Oil\" campaign and other environmental concerns\nIn September 2006, Green Day teamed up with U2 and producer Rick Rubin to record a cover of the song \"The Saints Are Coming\", originally recorded by The Skids, with an accompanying video. The song is to benefit Music Rising, an organization to help raise money for musicians' instruments lost during Hurricane Katrina, and to bring awareness on the eve of the one year anniversary of the disaster.\nIn December 2006, Green Day and NRDC opened a web site in partnership to raise awareness on America's dependency on oil. (See related projects.)\nGreen Day released a cover of the John Lennon song \"Working Class Hero\", that was featured on the album Instant Karma: The Amnesty International Campaign to Save Darfur.

        "raw_content": "Genre(s): New Wave and Punk Rock\nLabel(s): Reprise, Adeline\nAssociated acts: Green Day, Pinhead Gunpowder, Foxboro Hot Tubs.\nVan Gough\nThe Smoo\nThe Network is a six-piece New Wave band, which is a secret side project of the members of Green Day. They released their debut album Money Money 2020 on Billie Joe Armstrong's independent record label Adeline Records on September 30, 2003. A re-release of the album, with two bonus tracks, followed in 2004. According to a recent interview (March 19, 2009) with John Roecker on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show, The Network will be releasing a second record. The album may or may not be called Omega 3000, however, \"Omega 3000\" is definitely a song on the new album.\nIt has not yet been confirmed that members of The Network include Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tr\u00e9 Cool and Jason White, all of whom are most famous for their work as the band Green Day. The stage names of The Network are Fink, The Snoo, Van Gough, Captain Underpants and Balducci.\nArmstrong denies the involvement of any Green Day members in The Network. Although the style of music is different (New Wave as opposed to Green Day's punk-rock style), Armstrong's voice can be unmistakably made out on several tracks including \"Teenagers From Mars.\" Warner/Chapell Music almost proved that members of Green Day are involved in The Network by citing the three Green Day members as having writing credits for The Network's album Money Money 2020.\n\"I just wanted to talk about the rumors and the bullshit that has been going on lately. All I gotta say is fuck The Network. These guys are totally spreading rumors. I try to do those guys a favour by bringing them to this country and putting out their record and this is how I get repaid, by talking shit about my band. Unfortunately there is a contract and I have to put out their record. The only thing I can say is Fuck you, Network. Bring it on. \"\nIn addition, the band's website The Network was registered by Green Day, Inc., on May 16, 2003. WHOIS details for the domain can be seen at Network Solutions. Green Day also utilized the domain in July 2007 to host their rendition of The Simpsons theme song for The Simpsons Movie.\nBillie Joe Armstrong - volcals/guitar\nMike Dirnt - vocals/bass guitar\nTr\u00e9 Cool - drums (lead vocals on hungry hungry models)\nChris Dugan - keyboards\nReto Peter - keytar\nJason White - guitar\nStill unknown about The Network is which stage name goes with which musician. The following information may or may not link the members of Green Day to certain stage names in the band.\nFink: Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has written songs for Pinhead Gunpowder under the alias \"Wilhelm Fink.\" Fink of The Network and Armstrong are also both born under the same astrological sign: Aquarius. The Network is also signed under Billie Joe's record company, Adeline Records. The official Network web site also claims that Fink financed the band, when in actuality this was done by Armstrong. Another coincidence is that in the song \"Spike\" the character Branden moved into a warehouse in Oakland. It is well known that Billie Joe used to live in a warehouse in Oakland with several other punk rock band members. And in another song, he mentions \"The Ave.\", which is a nickname for Telegraph Ave. in Oakland, on which the title of the song \"Stuart and the Ave.\" on the Insomniac album is based. Another clue to Fink being Armstrong is that on the CD Short Music For Short People, Green Day plays a song called \"The Ballad of Wilhelm Fink.\"\nVan Gough: Mike Dirnt is identified by most fans as Van Gough. Van Gough claims to be a vegan on the band's official biography on the website, even though Mike Dirnt is not vegan.\nThe Snoo: Tr\u00e9 Cool can be identified in several pictures (note the size and shape of the nose). The Snoo claims to be a former Mexican wrestler in his bio on the Network's official website. Green Day has, in the past, had a run-in with former ECW wrestlers Tazz and Tommy Dreamer. The Network was a faction representing TNN, now Spike, censors when ECW had a wrestling program on the channel. Spike is also the name of a song by The Network, telling the story of how a punk rocker becomes homeless when his girlfriend leaves him. On the GDA website Billie Joe Armstrong claims that his favorite joke from all of those he made up is \u2018What do you call a drummer without a girlfriend? Homeless!\u2019 GDA Tre was seen wearing a similar mask while pranking supporting band \"The Bravery\" during a concert at Times Union Center in Albany, NY.\nCaptain Underpants: He is believed to be Reto Peter, a Swiss producer. This is supported by an obviously faked press conference seen at the end of the DVD Disease is Punishment where questions by the press are answered in Swiss German by one of the band members.\nZ: He is believed to be Chris Dugan, a sound engineer.\nBalducci: is most likely Jason White, Green Day's back-up guitarist. Balducci even fills that duty in the Network, and is seen on stage in a similar stance to White's when he plays guitar.\nReto Peter: Is also the co-producer of Money Money 2020 and one of its songs is called \"Reto\".\nChris Dugan: The sound engineer for Money Money 2020 and the mixer for Disease is Punishment. He is also credited with the production of a Green Day B-side \"Governator\". It has also been rumored that at least one member of Devo is a member of The Network.\nDr. Svengali: The Network's manager, is the director of Disease is Punishment, John Roecker. Dr. Svengali and the band claim that they are all members of the Church of Lushotology, which believes in \"total intoxication.\" (The church is a parody of The Church of the SubGenius (which is the religion of Devo, The Network's main influence), and the name is a parody of the controversial Church of Scientology).\nLabel: Adeline\nMoney Money 2020 Companion DVD\nDisease is Punishment\nJoe Robot\nMoney Money 2020 was re-mastered and re-released by Reprise Records on November 9, 2004, with two additional tracks, \"Hammer of the Gods\" and a cover of the The Misfits \"Teenagers from Mars\" which can also be heard on Tony Hawk's American Wasteland while \"Roshambo\" is on the NHL 2005 soundtrack. The original Money Money 2020 release came with a companion DVD with music videos directed and produced by Roy Miles of AntiDivision. A segment of the song \"Joe Robot\" can also be heard on several VH1 specials like \"All Access\", MTV 2's \"High School Stories\", and at least once on the MTV show \"Pimp My Ride.\"\nv \u2022 eThe Network\nMoney Money 2020 Companion DVD \u2022 Disease is Punishment\nJoe Robot \u2022 Teenagers From Mars\nRetrieved from \"http://greenday.wikia.com/wiki/The_Network?oldid=7360\"",

Scott, MD\nIn this survey study, the authors investigated how well patients in general dermatology practices understand the implications and etiology of skin cancer. In total, 273 adults participated in the study, with 30.8% reporting a prior history of skin cancer. Just over 25% of participants believed that melanoma was the most common skin cancer. Fewer than 50% of adults correctly understood that melanoma can sometimes develop from abnormal moles (29.3%), that melanoma may present as a large irregular mole (46.9%), and that melanoma is the most dangerous skin cancer (41.4%) with the highest risk of metastasis (34.1%). In multivariate analyses, adults with greater knowledge of skin cancer were older than age 40, had a college- or graduate-level education, and worked in the medical field.\nPatients in general dermatology practices have relatively poor knowledge of the warning signs and seriousness of melanoma. Educational programs should be preferentially considered for less-educated adults younger than 40 years of age, and who are not associated with the medical field.\n\u2013 Jeffrey F. Scott, MD\nMore than 5 million skin cancers are treated in the United States each year. Government agencies have highlighted the provider\u2019s role in educating patients about skin cancer. In response, efforts have focused predominantly on behavioral changes\u2014in particular, sun safe practices\u2014rather than education. These behavioral programs include sun safety campaigns, installation of public sunscreen dispensers, and tanning bed restrictions. While the literature shows benefit from these behavior-driven efforts, improvements in behavior have not translated into improvements in knowledge. Knowledge gaps have been documented in minority populations, schools, outdoor workers, and various international communities. Data from the transplant population demonstrates that skin cancer education can effectively change preventive behavior: those who were educated about skin cancer were more likely to practice sun safe behaviors and demonstrate decreased sun-related hyperpigmentation, signifying that improvements in education are related to improvements in behavior. A focus on patient education thus can bolster behavioral changes and may reduce the incidence of skin cancer. If patients do not understand the implications and etiology of skin cancer, they may not protect themselves from the sun or appropriately present to a health care professional.",

The haunted nature of this 1886 hotel has been celebrated in October. The building was featured on Travel Channel\u2019s, \u201cWeird Travels\u201d. The International Society of Paranormal Research investigated this location and found that William Wildemere, a former employee died inside the Hotel Monteleone. He perished natural causes but his spirit continues to linger at this New Orleans haunted hotel.\nA 10 year old boy and another younger spirit, are said to play hide-and-seek at the Hotel Monteleone. They aren\u2019t permanent residents,but they purportedly return to the building from time to time to stir things up and hang out together.\nVisitors have reported that the elevator will often stop on the wrong floor. Those who get off make their way down a hall that gets progressively colder until, at the end of it, they see apparitions of children playing.\nThe Grandfather clock in this family-owned haunted hotel is often repaired by the ghost of a man who can be observed working on it either in the daytime or at night. A bare-naked Mardi Gras ghost reveled in one of Hotel Monteleon\u2019s rooms during the actual Mardi Gras season. His spirit was seen wearing only a mask and nothing else. A jazz singer and a lost child make their presence known and then disappear suddenly. The original owner of the hotel is also said to walk the corridors.\n214 Rue Royal, New Orleans, LA 70130\nWind River Indian Reservation, Kinnear, WY 82516, USA",

        "raw_content": "The nature abounds in a limitless source of medicines that can treat many diseases in absolutely natural way without any negative effects. However, why do people use chemical medications and drugs when experiencing some health problem?\nThere is a famous saying by the great Hippocrates which says that the food can be your medicine and medicine can be your food.\nBy eating a few cloves of garlic each day, you can effectively fight off all sorts of bacteria, viruses and infections. Studies have even found that garlic can assist in areas as severe as AIDS symptoms, diabetes and high blood pressure. (source)\nIt is also a great help in relieving the effects of colds, cases of flu and toothaches. It does not hurt that organic garlic is also quite affordable!\nCooking it for a meal is not good enough, to maximize its full antibiotic properties, you\u2019ll need to crush the garlic and eat it raw. A great way to try this is in a salad, soup or even drink.\nThis vegetable is closely related to garlic and has pretty similar effects and health benefits. Onion is beneficial for pain and inflammation reduction and for treating conditions such as colds and flu.\nThe grapefruit seed extract, also known as GSE, is conventionally used as antimicrobial substance. This ingredient has been found pretty promising in preventing the growth of different fungi and bacteria, and it has even been recommended for cleaning the bathroom. Before use, the extract needs to be diluted. You should adjust the amount of extract you will use depending on the use.\nhis potent plant gives the body great amounts of energy and protects the body from numerous possible diseases. Thanks to the strong antibiotics properties when resolved in the stomach improves the blood circulation and treats other conditions.\nAlso, horseradish is used for treating many different medical issues such as kidney stones, infections of the urinary tract and bronchitis. It is suggested to consume it in a raw state or in a combination with a little vinegar in order to obtain the best effects of it.\nVitamin C is known to help strengthen the body\u2019s immune system and ability to fight disease, and throughout the years, studies have shown vitamin C to even help heal snake bites, bacterial and viral infections. Fruits high in vitamin C are recommended because they can help stave off or eliminate certain infectious bacteria. Vitamin C is essential for growth and development, and serves in the function of skin repair, making it very important in wound healing, strengthening the human immune system and increasing the body\u2019s ability to resist infection.\nFruits rich in vitamin C Include: Acerola or West Indian Cherry, Currants, Guavas, Oranges, Lemon, Kiwi, Strawberries, Pineapple, Honeydew, Mangoes, Plums and Watermelon.\nVegetables rich in vitamin C: Peppers, Chives, Parsley, Kale, Broccoli, Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts, Cauliflower, Asparagus, Tomatoes and Spinach.\nHoney has a long history of being used as a topical treatment for infections, because this wonderful sweet substance has been shown to be effective against fighting certain antibiotic resistant strains. The most deadly type is Manuka honey, which comes from Australia and New Zealand. It is derived from nectar collected by honey bees that forage the manuka bushes of New Zealand, and it contains unique antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiseptic, stomach-healing, wound-repairing, and overall health-promoting properties that make it an amazing superfood!\nResearchers have discovered that Manuka honey applied topically can kill a wide range of pathogens, including MRSA, a flesh-eating bacteria. Scientists also found that the treated bacteria didn\u2019t build up any resistance, rendering the honey ineffective. Awareness about manuka honey is growing, and many health food stores, online vendors, and even grocery stores are beginning to carry products claiming to be medical manuka honey. To help you identify which varieties of manuka honey are truly medicinal and contain high levels of powerful UMF, (Unique Manuka Factor) The Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA), independently tests and certifies manuka honeys to verify their legitimacy. They have created an official UMF trademark to verify the legitimacy of products claiming to be manuka honey. There are currently 44 UMFHA members, 29 of which hold separate licenses for using the UMF trademark.\nIf you find a manuka honey brand that does not bear this official logo, be sure to inquire as to who certified their honey for the presence of unique UMF.\nCinnamon can help lower blood sugar in folks dealing with adult onset diabetes tendencies. It also contains antibiotic properties and can help treat yeast infections. (source)\nThere are many ways to consume cinnamon.

        "raw_content": "For the Taurus variant, see Police Interceptor Sedan. For the Explorer variant, see Ford Police Interceptor Utility.\n(CVPI)\nA second-generation Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor of the Indianapolis Police Department in 2008\nFord Crown Victoria P71 (1998\u20132009)\nFord Crown Victoria P7B (2010\u20132011)\nSt. Thomas Assembly, Southwold, Canada\nThe Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (colloquially referred to simply as the CVPI, P71, or Crown Vic) is a four-door body-on-frame sedan that was manufactured by Ford from 1992 to 2011. It is the law enforcement version of the Ford Crown Victoria. From 1997 to 2011, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was the most widely used automobile in law enforcement operations in the United States and Canada. They were also used for this purpose on a more limited scale in other countries.\n4 Comparison with standard Crown Victoria\n4.1 Engine and drive train\n4.2 Body and chassis\n6 Problems and criticism\n7 Discontinuation and future\nAfter the discontinuation of the Chevrolet Caprice, the Ford Motor Company held a near-monopoly on the market for police cruisers in the United States and Canada for over a decade, because the conventional rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and body-on-frame construction are advantageous for police use. The CVPI's body-on-frame construction allowed inexpensive repairs after collisions without the need to straighten the chassis. Rear-wheel drive made the car easier to avoid spin-outs during hard maneuvers than front drive rivals, and allowed it to better withstand rough driving over curbs and other obstacles in the urban environment.[1]\nAlthough the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was not sold to the general public, they are widely available via secondhand in North America once they are decommissioned and no longer in service in law enforcement and fleet duty. The cars are in demand by taxi companies, those who want a safe, durable and/or inexpensive car, and those who need a car with a bench seat which can take three passengers in the back. The Crown Victoria Police Interceptor came equipped with many heavy duty parts such as a revised transmission, and a 186 kW (253 PS; 249 hp) engine. Used Crown Victoria Police Interceptors are normally stripped of any police decals, computer equipment, police radios, and emergency lights before being sold or auctioned to the public.[2]\n4.6 L Modular V8\n4-speed AOD/AOD-E automatic\n4-speed 4R70W automatic\n1995\u201397: 212.0 in (5,385 mm)\n1992\u20131994: 56.7 in (1,440 mm)\nThough the name has been officially in use since 1992, the 1979\u20131991 full-size LTDs and LTD Crown Victorias used the \"P72\" production code designation for both fleet and taxi and police models, with the model itself being internally classified as S (similar to LX). From 1992 to 1997, the police car models of the Crown Victoria (both base and LX trims) were officially known as Crown Victoria P71s.\nIn the 1993 model year, the Crown Victoria was given a chrome front grille and a reflector strip between the taillights. Another minor restyle followed suit in 1995, with a new grille and taillights. To accommodate the design of the 1995's new taillights, the rear license plate was moved from the bumper to the trunk's lid.\nApart from North America, between 1994-1995, 140 Crown Victoria P71's were bought for the Main Directorate for Road Traffic Safety (Russia), popularly known under its historical abbreviation GAI (\u0413\u0410\u0418). It is a Russian law enforcement agency which is was part of the militsiya now Politisya. They were operated by the Russian Traffic Patrol (DPS) as highway patrol units around the greater Moscow area until 2010s, being one of the most powerful vehicles used by the DPS.[3]\n1995\u20131997 CVPI of the Raleigh, North Carolina, Police Department.\nTitusville Police, Florida, October 2001.\nSt. Johns County Sheriff's Office, Florida, October 2001.\n4-speed 4R75W automatic 4-speed 4R70W automatic\n2007: 77.3 in (1,963 mm)\n1998\u20132001, 2006\u20132011: 56.8 in (1,443 mm)\nCrown Victoria Police Interceptor with Ohio State Highway Patrol.\nFor the 1998 model year, the Ford Motor Company restyled the Crown Victoria, eliminating the \"aero\" look that the first generation Crown Victoria had from 1992 to 1997; adopting the more conservative styling of the Mercury Grand Marquis. Both cars included restyled front and rear end components. The 1998 police package P71 had a chrome grille, chrome door handle trim, chrome bumper strips, and a chrome-trimmed flat black rear fascia with the \"Crown Victoria\" badge. At this time, the car was still known as the \"Crown Victoria P71\".[citation needed]\nIn 1999, Ford introduced the \"Crown Victoria Police Interceptor\" name, with a badge on the trunk lid replacing the 1998 \"Crown Victoria\" badge. A chrome-trimmed gloss black rear fascia, unpainted door handle trim, black bumper strips, and a gloss black slatted grille were also introduced at this time. Finally, the new \"Street Appearance Package\", intended to make the Police Interceptor look like a Standard (P73) model, including chrome trimming and badging, was introduced.\nMidway through 1999, the taillights were also changed. 1998 and early 1999 models had a separate amber turn signal along the bottom edge of each taillight housing. Starting in mid-1999, the extra bulbs were eliminated and the turn signals returned to the combination of stop/turn setup with red lenses found in many North American cars. Although the lenses changed, the housings did not; they still had the chambers for the separate turn signals that early models had. These chambers were now empty, leaving a perfect place to install in police cars strobe tubes that would not affect brake or turn signal visibility. Non-Police Interceptors and Police Interceptors equipped with the \"Street Appearance Package\" retained the amber turn signal.\nFor 2000, the rear fascia and tail-lights lost the chrome trim, and the gloss black grille was dropped in favor of a flat black slatted grille. Further alterations were made in 2001, including removal of all trim on the plastic bumper pieces and a new honeycomb-style grille, replacing the slat-style grille as is found on previous standard Crown Victorias and CVPIs. Power adjustable pedals also became an option starting in the 2001 model year, as height diversity among officers joining police departments increased. Ford also relocated the rear window defrost switch from the left side of the dash to the direct left of the HVAC controls.\nThe year 2003 brought a minor redesign. The interior door panels and seats were freshened, with side-impact airbags becoming an option. The 2001\u20132004 CVPIs all look the same on the exterior; the way for one to tell the 2003\u20132011 cars apart from the 2001 and 2002 models is by examining the wheels. The suspension, brakes, steering, and frame all were redesigned for the 2003 model year. Because of the new underpinnings, the wheels for the newer cars have a much higher offset. They look almost flat, compared to the concave wheels on the older model years. Along with a new wheel design, new hubcaps were introduced. Lastly, the 2003 model year was the last model in the second generation of CVPIs to feature a cassette player in the stock head unit. However, the 2011 model did include an optional player.\nPolice interceptor/Mercury Marauder air intake assembly.\nThe 2004\u20132011 Police Interceptor is rated for 186.5 kW (254 PS; 250 hp) mostly due to the addition of a new better flowing air intake system. This system includes a new airbox that is similar to the Mercury Marauder airbox (raised airbox lid, deeper bottom), with an integrated 80 mm (3.1 in) mass airflow (MAF) sensor that is part of the airbox lid (but can be serviced individually). This allows for much more precise flow calibration and reduces the chances of air leakage. The P71 zip tube (the flexible rubber hose between the throttle body and MAF outlet) is also used to reduce NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) as well as transfer air from the airbox to the throttle body with minimal flow resistance. From 2005 on, the throttle body is no longer manually operated via cable but an electronic Drive-By-Wire (DBW) set up.\nStandard on the 2006 is a redesigned instrument cluster, which now sports an analog speedometer, tachometer, digital odometer with hour meter and trip meter features, and cross-compatibility with the civilian version's various features (these are normally locked out, but can be accessed through wiring modification). Kevlar-lined front doors, which might be useful as protective barriers during gunfights, are optional on the Crown Victoria Police Interceptors for the 2006 Model Year. Also introduced in 2006, for P70/P72 Commercial Heavy Duty models and P71 Police Interceptor models is a 17\" steel wheel, replacing the previous 16\" wheels, plus new flat gray wheel covers rather than chromed wheel covers as in previous years.\nFor 2008, the Crown Victoria is restricted to fleet-only sales, and all Panther-platform cars are now flex-fuel cars. The CVPI receives some new options, such as the ability to have keyless entry.\nFor the 2009 model year, the CVPI now has power pedals as standard equipment. Standard equipment across the entire Panther line is side impact airbags and new federally mandated recessed window switches. The CVPI also received upgraded brakes for 2009, although specifics about them are not available. The confirmation flash that occurs when the doors are locked is now automatically disabled when the Courtesy Lamp Disable option is ordered. The confirmation flash was considered to be a safety issue because the lights would flash when officers exited the vehicle and locked the doors, potentially giving their presence away at night.[4] The car gets new styled door moldings and also new for 2009 Ford placed a \"Flex Fuel\" badge in the lower right corner of the rear facia (2009\u20132011) even though they were Flex Fuel since 2008. The Street Appearance Package also gets the same new door moldings as found on the civilian fleet only Crown Victoria LX as well as blacked rear fascia like the normal Police Interceptor & Crown Victoria LX.\nIn 2010, the VIN code \"P71\" was replaced with \"P7B\".\nThe 2011 model year Ford CVPI (P70, P72 taxi/commercial and regular civilian model the P74) received updated larger front headrests to comply with new front crash rating standards.\nComparison with standard Crown Victoria\nBoth cars use the same 4.6 L 2V SOHC V8 (both Flex Fuel starting in 2008), Ford Modular engine, and Ford 4-speed automatic transmission. However, there are few notable differences between the Police Interceptor and standard Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis.\nThe Police Interceptor is equipped with an external oil-to-engine-coolant oil cooler to reduce engine oil temperatures, allowing the vehicles to operate at high rpm/high loads for an extended period of time without the risk of engine oil overheating and subsequent engine damage. This engine oil cooler can be prone to seeping oil from the O-ring seals after the high mileage operation encountered by Police Interceptors, particularly where damaged by road salt.[5]\nThe Police Interceptor engine calibration includes a slightly higher idle speed (by approximately 40 rpm) and minor changes in the emissions settings. The computer is tuned for more aggressive transmission shift points, and the transmission itself is built for firmer and harder shifts. The EGR system is controlled differently on 03+ vehicles than on 03+ non-police vehicles.\nThe 2006\u20132011 Police Interceptors are equipped standard with an open 3.27:1 rear axle (Axle code Z5), with a trac loc 3.27:1 rear axle (Axle Code X5) optional, and are electronically limited to 140 mph (225 km/h) due to critical driveline speed limitations (the weight of the vehicle with law-enforcement equipment on-board makes it highly unlikely the vehicle could ever reach this figure). An optional 3.55:1 trac loc rear axle ratio with 120 mph speed limiter was also available (Axle code C6). Pre-2006 Police Interceptors equipped with the 3.27:1 rear axle ratio were generally limited to approximately 128 mph (206 km/h). This compares to the standard non-P71 2.73 rear axle ratio with a speed limitation of 110 mph (177 km/h) for all \"civilian\" Crown Victorias.[6]\nFord used an aluminum metal matrix composite driveshaft for the 1993\u20132005 Police Interceptors as a measure to allow safe operation at over 150 mph (241 km/h), but it was more expensive than the regular aluminum driveshafts. Ford CVPIs were governed to 129 miles per hour. Ford reintroduced a 3.55:1 rear axle ratio for the 2006 model year Police Interceptors with a 120 mph (193 km/h) speed limitation to reduce the risk of driveshaft failure. Ford built two different gear ratios for police use. One had the 3.27 gear ratio and was built for highway use, the second option had the 3:55 gear ratio and was built for city use. All CVPIs came standard with a 3.27.1 ratio open differential, however departments could order a 3.55.1 ratio locking differential for better acceleration off the line. Also noteworthy is that all cars came standard with an open differential unless Ford's Trac-Lok Differential was ordered with the car. Trac-Lok was available with the 3.27.1 ratio and came standard with the 3.55.1 ratio.\nFord CVPI Performance as per data collected by the Michigan State Police[7]\n1992 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor 17.48\n2003 Ford Police Interceptor 16.99\n2004 Ford Police Interceptor \"3:55\" 16.34\nAnother difference is Ford's \"severe duty\" shock absorbers that offer a stiffer ride than the standard Crown Victoria. They also have black steel wheels with stainless steel or chromed plastic hubcaps.\nAll Police Interceptors also come with T-409 stainless steel dual exhaust systems without resonators. Standard Crown Victorias come with a stainless steel single exhaust system, while the Handling and Performance Package and LX Sport-equipped Crown Victorias have the same exhaust system as the Police Interceptor, with the resonators. The resonators further reduce noise, vibration, and harshness without adding any restriction to the exhaust system. Police Interceptors have higher-rate coil springs, approximately 0.8 inches (20.3 mm) of additional ground clearance, and thinner rear antiroll bars (shared with the LX Sport) than the Handling and Performance Package Crown Victorias; the base Crown Victoria does not have a rear antiroll bar.\nOn 2004 and newer models, P71s have a 200 A alternator and a 78 A h battery.\nFord also offers trunk packages for equipment storage (see below), and as of 2005, has added an optional fire suppression system to the Police Interceptor.\nThe bulk of police car modifications, such as installation of emergency lights, sirens, passenger seat dividers, and plastic rear bench seats, are offered as aftermarket modifications by third parties.\nPolice Interceptors came standard with manual cloth bucket seats, despite having the shifter on the steering column. This gap between seats is generally filled by a console holding radios, controls for emergency equipment, large firearms, and often a laptop computer or mobile data terminal (MDT). A velour split-bench was optional, with a power adjustable driver's seat being optional on both the split bench and standard bucket seats. The Police Interceptor also has a calibrated 140 mph (225 km/h) speedometer.\nOne way to distinguish most P71s is the small \"Police Interceptor\" badge that replaces the standard \"Crown Victoria\" markings on the trunk lid, although the Street Appearance Package (SAP) Police Interceptors forego this badge, using the standard Crown Victoria marking. Police Interceptor badges are now available for purchase online, so this identifying technique is not as reliable as it once was. Street Appearance Package (SAP) cars also use chrome trim rather than the black trim of normal Police Interceptors. P71s can also be identified by the dual exhaust and an analog 140 mph speedometer. The Police Interceptor has an additional interior trunk release in the center of the dashboard with a prominent warning decal right below it, while the civilian version has it only on the driver's door.[citation needed] All 1998 and newer Crown Victorias made for civilian (non-fleet) use have a five digit horizontal keypad (known as SecuriCode) above the driver side door handle which can be used to lock/unlock the car and open its trunk. All P70, 71, and 72 Crown Victorias are assembled without this keyless entry system so unless the driver door was damaged and had an improper replacement door installed any Crown Victoria you see with a keypad is a civilian one, while any one without a keypad is a P70, 71, or 72 fleet Crown Victoria. The only completely infallible way to identify a Police Interceptor is to look for the code \"P71\" in the VIN, or \"P7B\", as it was renamed in 2010.\nPolice Interceptors will have the characters \"P71\" as the model code in the VIN, or \"P7B\" for 2010+ models, instead of P70 (Stretched wheelbase), P72 (Commercial Heavy Duty/Taxi and fleet vehicles), P73 (Base), P74 (LX), or P75 (1992 Touring Sedan).\nOnly Police Interceptors were available with black front grilles from the factory.\nProblems and criticism\nFollowing the criticism of fires following highway-speed rear-end collisions, 2005 and later model Police Interceptors now come with an optional automatic fire suppression system and special \"trunk packs\" designed to prevent cargo from penetrating the fuel tank in a collision. The customer must pay an additional $150 per car for the trunk packs. For a more detailed discussion of the fuel tank leakage concerns that prompted these changes, see Ford Crown Victoria.\nThere were also some problems with early 2003 Police Interceptors. The newly designed steel wheels would rust prematurely, and the rack and pinion steering units would fail early (\u226410,000 miles). This was not limited to the Police Interceptor; some 2004 Mercury Marauders were also affected. A recall, initiated on March 1, 2007 (07S48) affects the steel wheels used on 2003\u201305 Police Interceptors.[8]\nAnother issue with the wheels have been weld points that come loose, causing rapid air loss in tires and the potential for loss of control. A recall was issued after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. However, the company has created anger among civilian owners of 2003+ Police Interceptors by refusing to honor the recall unless the vehicle is still being used in fleet service. The only way this problem could be addressed is if the civilian customer complains to a dealership about air leakage problems, an inability to balance the wheels properly, or a \"nibble\" or excessive vibration in the steering at speed. The issue is then addressed through the \"Customer Satisfaction Program\" that Ford has initiated for the same wheels. Ford ultimately resolved this issue on production cars in 2006 by introducing new 17\u2033 steel wheels for their heavy duty models. These wheels may be of interest to those who have 2003\u20132005 Police Interceptors, 2003\u20132005 P70/P72 Commercial Heavy Duty models or 2003\u20132008 Standard (P73) models with 16\u2033 steel wheels and are concerned about the safety of these wheels.\nThe steel body-on-frame Crown Victoria Police Interceptor fares better in crashes than current unibody counterparts such as the Chevrolet Impala and Dodge Charger. Many law enforcement officers and departments swear by the proven Crown Victoria, and are reluctant to purchase other police sedans in spite of the Crown Vic's departure. Some departments have purchased the Chevrolet Tahoe 9C1, a full-size SUV, due in part to its body-on-frame construction.\nDiscontinuation and future\nOn March 12, 2010, Ford Motor Company introduced the 2013 Police Interceptor as a rebadged and reengineered version of the current Taurus. This new vehicle is on an all-wheel-drive unibody platform (with optional front-wheel drive), and it bears no relation to the rear-wheel body-on-frame Panther platform that underpinned all previous Crown Victoria Police Interceptors.[9]\nIn response, police departments began buying reserve supplies of the last Crown Victorias to allow them to maintain a fleet of reliable police cars into the future. The police department of Austin, Texas, has stocked up on parts on the existing CVPIs that could be used interchangeably on different model years of the Crown Victorias, and also noted that Ford had not set a price for its new Police Interceptor which was still in an untested prototype stage.[10][11] The London Police Service (Ontario) which had been stockpiling extra CVPIs, noted that while potential replacements may use less gasoline, the CVPI may be easily and cheaply converted to run on propane, giving it lower running costs than its competitors and the Taurus that Ford is touting as a replacement.[12] Others have reluctantly shifted to other models and manufacturers.[13]\nIn April 2011, the Ford Motor Company stopped accepting new orders for the CVPI, instead offering a version of the Ford Taurus.\nOn September 15, 2011, the final built Crown Victoria, a civilian model destined for Saudi Arabia, rolled off the assembly line at 12:30 PM, concluding assembly operations of the St. Thomas, Ontario, plant.[14]\nA Police Interceptor used as a prop car in the filming of Live Free or Die Hard\nAs the Crown Victoria became increasingly ubiquitous within North America as a police vehicle, media from the late 1990s up to at least the mid-to-late-2010s began to follow suit and as a result the Crown Victoria has become a common set-piece in television, cinema, and video games with a North American focus. This came especially after the discontinuation of the Chevrolet Caprice 9C1. Even years after its discontinuation, the Crown Victoria continues to hold a reputation as a tool of authority within North America.[citation needed]\nIn Russia, the Crown Victoria became a symbol of Moscow's road militsiya from mid-1990s for over a decade.[3] The Crown Victoria is pictured on a badge awarded for 15 years of service in the DPS.[3] The cars were featured in several movies and in a 1997-1998 TV show Perehvat (The Intercept), where they tried to intercept target automobiles on Moscow streets.[3]\n^ Brian Freskos (April 23, 2011). \"Ford to retire Crown Vics; police cars to get makeover\".

        "raw_content": "Arguably my personal favorite short film shown at the HIFF university students screening was Skating is (my) Life which was Produced, directed, shot and edited by Kyle Motonaga. This documentary style film follows aspiring local skate boarder Kekoa Andrade as he takes us through his every day skating routine as he prepares for upcoming competitions (spoiler: skating is in fact his life). What made this film stand apart from the others at the screening was the cinematography and the soundtrack. Of course a big part of my interest stemmed from my prior interest in skate boarding, an activity that is very entertaining to watch, especially when filmed properly. The points where I think the cinematography stand out are the scenes where Kekoa is riding around and doing tricks on his skate board, Motonaga was able to pair the perfect music and timing to make the scenes flow effortlessly. There was an overall chill vibe to the aesthetic of this documentary that I don\u2019t often see in this genre and I believe this is due in part to the editing, timing, and cinematography. I also really enjoyed the segment where we are introduced to Jackie, who is an older woman that began learning to skate from the help of Kekoa. Not only was she super sweet but there was a bad ass quality about her. She also proves the message that it doesn\u2019t matter how old you are, you can always learn something new if you put in the right amount of effort. There was a lot of motivational undertones in this film, especially from its main focus, Kekoa. It seemed like he was able to make every thing skate related into a metaphor for life. The structure of the documentary flowed very easily and you could tell Motonaga put a lot of thought into the timing of his transitions. The only thing I think could have made this short film better would be for it to have a longer time line so that we could see more of what unfolds after Kekoa leaves Hawaii for the competitions on the mainland.\nLoved this film! great to see the prospective of a true local trying to make it in the skate world even though he\u2019s in HAWAII.",

        "raw_content": "Money can already make for an uncomfortable conversation, but approaching the topic of gambling, and when you\u2019re worried it has become a problem \u2013 that\u2019s something else entirely.\nIf you\u2019re worried about a friend or loved ones\u2019 gambling, the first thing to remember is to broach the subject carefully. If they know it has become a problem, they may have been hiding it from you \u2013 they may feel ashamed and scared, so may become defensive if pushed.\nBe sure not to start the conversation in a public place, surrounded by friends, and choose your words carefully. Speak somewhere private but comfortable, without judgement or blame.\nProblem gambling: The signs to look out for\nProblem gambling isn\u2019t easy to detect, but there are some signs that indicate a habit has become something more serious. Common signs include:\nMore irritable or anxious than normal.\nBorrowing money or selling belongings to pay for gambling.\nSpending less time with friends and family.\nLost interest in activities and hobbies they previously enjoyed.\nLying about their gambling or how much they are spending.\nNot all people will know they have a problem, and it\u2019s common for those close to them to recognise when something has gone too far. The gambler may be convincing themselves that everything is fine, that it\u2019s just a hobby, when really it\u2019s doing more harm than they realise.\nIt is important to let them know that it\u2019s because you care about them, and that\u2019s why you are worried. As mentioned above, positive communication is much more helpful than being confrontational or critical. You want to care and help them, not judge them and risk pushing them further away.\nTry talking about how you are feeling, rather than directing it all at them. Speaking in this way helps to lessen defences and keep the lines of communication open, for example:\n\u201cYou\u2019re my friend and I\u2019m upset seeing you like this.\u201d\n\u201cI love you and I don\u2019t want you to be on your own. Talk to me about what\u2019s going on.\u201d\n\u201cI feel like you\u2019re not happy right now and I\u2019m worried, how can I help?\u201d\nWhile the above examples are helpful, be sure to speak to them in a natural way, like you normally would. Acting out of character can put someone on edge, so be as normal as possible to keep them relaxed and open. If they get upset or aggressive, end the conversation for now and consider returning to the topic another time.\nOnce you\u2019ve started the conversation\u2026\nIf they open up, make sure you listen. Be patient and listen to what they have to say \u2013 it\u2019s likely it took a lot for them to start talking, so don\u2019t respond straight away or interrupt.\nBe calm and caring, but don\u2019t hide your concern. They may still not understand the extent of the problem, so may make excuses. Keep them busy and away from triggering places, and if possible, avoid helping them out with money. We know you care, but this may make the problem worse.\nBe there for them and let them know they can talk to you. Research treatment options like hypnotherapy or counselling, and support groups if you would like to, to help them take the first steps to recovery.\nAnd don\u2019t forget to look after yourself \u2013 it\u2019s easy to be consumed by the concern for your loved one, but at the end of the day, they are the only ones who can truly overcome the problem, you just need to be there to support and hold their hand along the way.",

Elmhurst Ranked Top Booming Suburb in Illinois\nColdwell Banker\u2019s Booming Suburbs ranking completes its Best Places to Live series.\nWe\u2019re not sure how we missed this ranking over the summer, but it\u2019s never too late to share some good news.\nElmhurst was ranked by national real estate firm Coldwell Banker as the top Booming Suburb in Illinois. The ranking is the final installment of CB\u2019s Best Places to Live series, which includes \u201cBest Places for Suburbanites\u201d and \u201cBest Places for Social Seekers.\u201d (Incidentally, that series is pretty fun to get lost in. Who doesn\u2019t like checking out great places to live across the country?)\nBooming Suburbs rated 1,500 communities with a population of 22,275 or more based on criteria that included:\nyear-over-year employment increase\naccess to suburban staples like grocery stores\nOn a national scale, the state of Washington cleaned up, with three communities in the Top 5: Cottage Lake (#1), Sammamish (#4) and Mercer Island (#5). Prairieville, La., and Fruit Cove, Fla., were #2 and #3, respectively.\nOn a scale from 1 to 1,000, Elmhurst received a score of 749.09.\n\u201cAs America continues to bounce back from the recession, this ranking identifies suburbs that have shown strong economic growth since the recovery,\u201d Coldwell Banker CEO Budge Huskey said. \u201cThese communities have the American ideals we love, the suburban dream intact and a population that is finding jobs at a better rate than the national average. That is the definition of a thriving community.\u201d\nSource: http://elmhurst.patch.com/groups/real-estate/p/were-no-1-elmhurst-ranked-top-booming-suburb-in-illinois",

        "title": "Examining Possible Causes for Slower Wound Healing",
        "raw_content": "Blueberries reduce inflammation, but do they affect wound healing? (Photo by a2gemma)\nI'm not sure why, but during the past few months, I've noticed my wounds healing slower than usual. Even fairly minor scratches take more than a week to heal fully, and bigger cuts seem to take at least three weeks. The bleeding stops normally and everything, but after that, the healing process just takes longer than it used to.\nThis has had me wondering what the cause might be. I've ruled out most of the supplements I've taken, because the experiments have only lasted for a couple of months and haven't really coincided with the slower wound healing. The supplements I've been taking for several months are vitamin C (500 mg), vitamin D (2,000 IU), and AOR Ortho-Core multivitamin (2 capsules). None of these should interfere with wound healing; on the contrary.\nThe first thing that comes to mind besides supplements is intermittent fasting, which I've been doing for about nine months now. As it happens, there is a paper (here.) that says caloric restriction and intermittent fasting reduces cell proliferation in epidermal tissue, which would likely have an effect on wound healing as well.\nAnother possible reason could be a low level of inflammation. Low inflammation is of course generally a good thing, but there is some evidence suggesting it might interfere with the wound healing process. Intermittent fasting apparently reduces inflammation markers quite a bit, and green tea protects from arthritis by reducing inflammation in vivo and in vitro. As you may know, I drink several cups daily.\nOther staples of my diet with possible inflammation-reducing properties include dark chocolate and my morning smoothie with a hefty dose blueberries, blackcurrants, strawberries and raspberries \u2013 all high in antioxidants and polyphenols, which are said to lower inflammation. Avoiding processed carbohydrates and starchy foods probably plays a part as well.\nIt was also pointed out to me that low levels of zinc may contribute to slow wound healing, so I looked around for some more information. One paper (here) suggests low levels of zinc delay wound healing during hip replacement, and another one (here) mentions correcting a zinc deficiency resulting in improved wound healing.\nA zinc deficiency is rare, however, and it's less clear whether increasing zinc intake from less than optimal levels will speed up wound healing. Also, one paper (here) suggests very high doses may in fact negatively affect wound healing, similarly to a zinc deficiency. Nevertheless, zinc supplementation apparently stimulates healing of bone fractures (abstract available here).\nThe RDA for zinc in adult males is 11 mg. According to CRON-O-Meter, my typical daily menu contains only ~5 mg of zinc. My multivitamin gives me another ~4 mg, bringing me to 9 mg. On the days I replace the fish in my warm meal with meat, my zinc intake is higher, so I probably average pretty close to the RDA.\nI'm not entirely convinced the RDA is the same as thing optimal (it certainly isn't for vitamin D), so as an experiment, I'll be taking 15 mg zinc as a supplement to see if it speeds wound healing. Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye out on other possible causes. And if you have a theory or personal experiences, feel free to drop a comment.\nTunnisteet: inflammation, intermittent fasting, skin\nEvo June 13, 2011 at 9:53 PM\nDid you ever figure out what it was, or did the slow healing resolve itself?",

        "raw_content": "Sabine Oil & Gas Voluntarily Files Chapter 11 Petitions to Facilitate Balance Sheet Restructuring\nCompany Operating As Usual During Restructuring Process\nHOUSTON, July 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabine Oil & Gas Corporation (OTCQB:SOGC) (the \"Company\" or \"Sabine\") today announced that it has filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to facilitate the restructuring of its balance sheet. Sabine continues to engage in constructive discussions with its lenders and debt holders regarding the terms of a consensual financial restructuring plan and is focused on achieving a resolution as expeditiously as possible.\nDavid Sambrooks, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sabine, said, \"The actions we are announcing today represent an important step forward in our efforts to strengthen the Company's capital structure. Following a comprehensive review of our alternatives, the Board of Directors and management team determined that this process would produce the best outcome for Sabine and its stakeholders. Undertaking this process provides an orderly path forward to better align the Company's balance sheet with changing market dynamics.\"\nMr. Sambrooks continued, \"We remain committed to maintaining operational excellence and executing within our current strategy \u2013 and importantly, we fully expect to continue operating in the ordinary course. We want to thank our employees for their continued dedication during this time as well as our service providers and suppliers for their ongoing support. We intend to emerge with increased financial flexibility and a sustainable capital structure that will enable us to devote capital to grow our business.\"\nThe Company expects that its cash on hand, combined with funds generated from ongoing operations, will provide sufficient liquidity to support the business during the balance sheet restructuring process.\nLike many other exploration and production companies, Sabine's operations have been significantly impacted by the recent and dramatic decline in oil prices, the continued low prices of natural gas, and general uncertainty in the energy market. These macro-economic factors, coupled with Sabine's substantial debt obligations, resulted in the Company's decision to explore strategic restructuring alternatives to reduce its debt and achieve a sustainable capital structure. Sabine continues to evaluate and discuss alternatives with its stakeholders and believes that its in-court financial restructuring will position Sabine for profitability and long-term success.\nCourt filings and other information related to the restructuring proceedings are available at a website administered by the Company's claims agent, Prime Clerk, at https://cases.primeclerk.com/sabine.\nLazard is serving as financial advisor to Sabine, and Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as legal counsel.\nSabine Oil & Gas Corporation is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, production, exploration and development of onshore oil and natural gas properties in the United States. Sabine's current operations are principally located in the Cotton Valley Sand and Haynesville Shale in East Texas, the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, the Granite Wash in the Texas Panhandle and the North Louisiana Haynesville.

        "title": "Investing for Survival: The Morning Call---The only thing I missed was more of the same",
        "raw_content": "The Morning Call---The only thing I missed was more of the same\nLast week, the S&P unsuccessfully challenged its 100 day moving average and threatened to challenge the lower boundary of its short term uptrend---unsuccessfully being the operative word. Nothing in this pin action to suggest any meaningful loss of upward momentum. It remains in uptrends across all timeframes.\nThe long Treasury took it in the snoot (successfully challenging its very short term uptrend and its 100 day moving average) following the Fed campaign to convince investors that a rate hike was coming in September. But despite the fact that it is now not likely to happen, TLT remains down---probably because the Fed\u2019s efforts are now focused on talking up a December rate hike. Of course, if the economic data continues to weaken (see below), the odds of that occurring aren\u2019t any more likely than a September increase. Until TLT\u2019s short/medium term uptrends are being threatened, this latest move is not seriously concerning.\nhttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-16/foreign-central-banks-sell-record-343-billion-us-trasuries-last-year\nGLD was also a victim of the Fed\u2019s September rate hike promotion; though the technical damage was more significant for it than for the TLT. It has broken its short term uptrend and will confirm it today absent a rebound. It is also near a challenge of its 100 day moving average. The chart for GDX is more impaired than GLD. A breakdown in GLD today will likely lead to action.\nThere has clearly been a pickup in volatility in the last couple of weeks with the VIX making two higher lows and breaking above its 100 day moving average, then confirming it. Still it is not going to develop into a negative for stocks until it successfully challenges its short term downtrend.\nhttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-16/weekend-reading-volatility-returns-vengeance\nWhile I was on vacation, the economy turned in three poor weeks of numbers. In the week of August 29th, the overall data was weighed to the negative as were the primary indicators: July personal income (0), July personal spending (0), second quarter productivity (0), the August ISM manufacturing index (-), July construction spending (-), August nonfarm payrolls, (-) and July factory orders (-).\nThe week of September 9th was a slow one with only five datapoints recorded (two positive and three negative) with one negative primary indicator: August ISM nonmanufacturing index.\nLast week was quite negative and included two primary indicators: August retail sales (-) and August industrial production (-).\nThe performance certainly supports our recession scenario and brings the score at 52 weeks to fifteen positive, thirty four negative and three neutral.\nIn addition, the Fed proved once again that it has no idea what it is doing as it set the Market up for a rate hike, then had to back off when the numbers turned to sh*t.\nIn short, I didn\u2019t miss much in the way of a changing investment landscape.

To listen to the call, dial +1-877-876-9176, or for investors outside the U.S., +1-785-424-1667, approximately 10 minutes prior to the start time.\nMellanox Technologies (NASDAQ: MLNX) is a leading supplier of end-to-end Ethernet and InfiniBand smart interconnect solutions and services for servers and storage. Mellanox interconnect solutions increase data center efficiency by providing the highest throughput and lowest latency, delivering data faster to applications and unlocking system performance. Mellanox offers a choice of fast interconnect products: adapters, switches, software and silicon that accelerate application runtime and maximize business results for a wide range of markets including high performance computing, enterprise data centers, Web 2.0, cloud, storage and financial services. More information is available at: www.mellanox.com.\nMellanox has achieved and maintained the highest ISS Quality Score possible beginning in May of 2017 and through the date of this release, July 17, 2018.\nTo supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Mellanox uses non-GAAP measures of net income which are adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, settlement costs, acquisition and other charges, restructuring charges, and income tax effects and adjustments. Settlement costs represent the charges related to the settlement of a contingent royalty obligation. Acquisition and other charges include expenses related to acquisitions of other companies and expenses related to the proxy contest. Restructuring charges include costs that are the result of restructuring, consisting of employee termination and severance costs, facilities related costs, contract cancellation charges, and impairment of long-lived assets. The purpose of income tax effects and adjustments is to exclude tax consequences associated with the above excluded expenses items, as well as the non-cash impact on the tax provision pertaining to changes in deferred tax assets associated with carryforward losses of group entities subject to tax holiday in Israel. The company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors, as these non-GAAP results exclude expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results. Management believes it is useful to exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, settlement costs, acquisition and other charges, restructuring charges, and income tax effects and adjustments because it enhances investors' ability to understand our business from the same perspective as management, which believes that such items are not directly attributable to nor reflect the underlying performance of the company's business operations. Further, management believes certain non-cash charges such as share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, changes related to recognition of deferred taxes and the net impact on the company's tax provision for non-GAAP adjustments do not reflect the cash operating results of the business. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. These non-GAAP measures may be different than the non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP condensed consolidated statements of operations is also presented in the financial statements portion of this release and is posted under the \"Investor Relations\" section on our website.\nAll statements included or incorporated by reference in this release, other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including the outlook for the three months ending September 30, 2018 and full fiscal 2018, statements related to trends in the market for our solutions and services, opportunities for our company in 2018 and beyond, and future product capabilities.

        "raw_content": "Can a \u2018conservative\u2019 approach lead to agreement on social insurance for family and medical leave?\nIt\u2019s no secret that the United States is unique in the way leave benefits are provided to workers. Unlike most European countries, the US largely lets employers and employees handle decisions around when workers receive paid time off from work. In many ways, this gives American employers and employees more flexibility to design compensation packages that are mutually beneficial.\nBut even in the US, government programs exist to protect employees from lost income due to joblessness. Existing social insurance programs cover retirement, long-term disability, and short-term periods of unemployment. The upside of these programs are that they help workers avoid poverty when it is necessary to be away from work. They also spread the risk associated with covering periods of joblessness across employers and employees.\nThis raises the question: Why not cover other forms of time away from work, such as to care for a new child, an ill family member, or for one\u2019s own medical issues?\nAs has already been covered in this blog series, these forms of leave are currently job protected under the Family and Medical Leave Act, meaning that workers can take unpaid leave for up to twelve weeks without the threat of losing their jobs. But in the absence of a national social insurance program, the decision around whether pay is received is largely left to the employer, with the exception of a few state programs.\nA new proposal from Kristin Shapiro of the Independent Women\u2019s Forum offers another approach, one that is being described as a conservative approach to paid leave. Without increasing payroll contributions, the proposal calls for worker flexibility in deciding when they can use their social security benefits, whether it be for retirement or parental leave. According to the proposal:\nThe proposed program would be structured to be self-financing. In return for receiving parental benefits, new parents would agree to defer their collection of Social Security benefits upon retirement for the period of time necessary to offset the cost of their parental benefits. Participation in the program would be strictly voluntary; new parents who do not need parental benefits or who do not wish to defer their retirement benefits would not be required to participate.\nUsing the social security retirement system for paid parental leave is intriguing for a number of reasons, including that it gives workers flexibility to decide when they value paid time off, whether it be in retirement or when they welcome a new child. The same approach could be used to cover one\u2019s own medical leave or time away from work to care for a family member.\nMost importantly, the proposal is a recognition that a national social insurance program is necessary to provide paid leave to American workers. In this way, it is conceptually similar to other proposals, such as ours from the AEI-Brookings Paid Leave Working Group. And by maintaining benefit levels but allowing flexibility in when they are used, it might appeal to policymakers who oppose raising taxes to cover more paid leave.\nOne obvious risk is that if workers use up too many weeks of paid leave for reasons other than retirement, they may not be eligible to retire when they feel they are ready. But perhaps that is a choice that should be left to individual workers. Timing and financing issues also remain a concern, since it would move the insolvency date for social security forward (although by how much is unclear), therefore requiring tax increases or benefit adjustments sooner than expected.\nNonetheless, it should be viewed as an opening for lawmakers who want to provide paid family and medical leave to American workers. Getting both sides to agree that a social insurance program is needed is a major step forward.",

In this problem, a salesman starts to move from an arbitrary place called depot and after visits all of the nodes, finally comes back to the depot. The objective is to minimize the total distance traveled by the salesman. Because this problem is a non-deterministic polynomial (NP-hard) problem in nature, it requires a non-polynomial time complexity at runtime to produce a solution. Therefore, a reactive bone route algorithm called RBRA is used for solving the TSP in which several local search algorithms as an improved procedure are applied. This process avoids the premature convergence and makes better solutions. Computational results on several standard instances of TSP show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm compared to other meta-heuristic algorithms.\nReactive Bone Route Algorithm; Traveling Salesman Problem; local search algorithms; NP-hard problems\nAhmadvand, M., YousefiKhoshbakht, M. and Mahmoodi Darani, N. 2012, \u201cSolving the Traveling Salesman Problem by an Efficient Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm\u201d, Journal of Advances in Computer Research, 3(3), 75-84.\nAnantathanavit, M. and Munlin, M. 2015, \u201cUsing K-means Radius Particle Swarm Optimization for the Travelling Salesman Problem\u201d, IETE Technical Review, 1-9.\nBachir Menai, M.

        "raw_content": "Mr. James T. Irwin and his son Larry established J and L Plants in the Spring of 1973. The greenhouses are located in Amarillo, TX and have been family owned and operated for over 40 years. The original operation consisted of six gutter-connected greenhouses, totaling 30,000 square feet. J and L Plants has grown a number of different potted flowering crops including: Kalanchoe, Geranium, Chrysanthemum, Begonia, Poinsettia, Exacum and Crossandra. For the past 30 years the company\u2019s main crop has been Kalanchoe blossfeldiana but we have also continued to cultivate geraniums, begonias and assorted succulents.\nToday, Larry Irwin and his two sons, Jarratt and Tanner, operate the business and range of greenhouses. The greenhouse range now consists of 25 gutter-connected houses, totaling over 125,000 square feet. As market demands change so will the product mix offered at J and L Plants.\nJ&L PLANTS DIRECTORS\nLawrence T. Irwin is the President and Founder of J&L Plants. Larry was raised in Canyon, Texas where he graduated from High School in 1967. He graduated from Colorado State University in 1972 with a degree in Floriculture. He was production manager at Irwin Greenhouses, Inc. from 1972 to 1973. From 1973 to present he has been involved with J&L Plants. During this time Larry and his father were involved in breeding and distributing Kalanchoes. Together they hold seventeen plant patents for Kalanchoes. Larry is a lifetime member of the Texas State Florist Association. In the past he has served on the growers council and various committees of the Society of American Florists. He has been married to his wife Mary for 37 years and they have four children.\nTanner Irwin is currently the Director of Operations at J&L Plants. He has worked at J&L Plants since he was a child and grew up laboring in the greenhouses. He graduated from Texas Tech University in 2009 after completing his Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture. While enrolled at Texas Tech, he worked at the University Research Greenhouse as a horticultural assistant. Tanner returned to work at J&L after graduating in 2009 and he is currently responsible for day-to-day business operations and customer relations.\nJarratt Irwin has been working at J&L Plants full-time since 2010 and currently serves as the company's Director of Horticulture. Jarratt earned a B.S. in Horticulture from Texas Tech University in 2005 and a Master of Horticulture degree from Texas A&M University in 2009. Jarratt has held many different jobs in the field of horticulture. His work experiences include; horticultural and viticultural advising, teaching Horticulture classes at TAMU and TTU, and completion of a plant breeding internship at Fides BV in De Leir, Netherlands. Since moving back home in 2010 to work in the family business, Jarratt has been responsible for overseeing new projects and existing horticultural programs.",

        "raw_content": "Language Link maintains an English Language programme rich in variety and tailored to meet the needs of a modern community of language learners. In so doing, Language Link has developed a syllabus that allows all age groups and abilities to study at one school of English.\nWithin the General English Department, Language Link runs seven levels of general English classes from Absolute Beginners through Advanced. Our programmes have likewise been created so as to separate our students and classes into the following categories: young learners (see below), pre-secondaries, secondaries and adults. A teaching framework is provided for each level and teachers are supplied with coursebooks and relevant supplementary materials for use within their classes.\nThroughout the academic year, Language Link Schools of English offer two and four-week intensive English language courses for those looking to improve their communicative skills in English. Regardless of whether the student has three hours a day or six, is a beginner or advanced speaker of English, Language Link has a course designed especially for him or her, and with classes limited to eight students and taught by qualified, native English teachers, students are up and speaking English in the shortest possible period of time.\nWith the ever-increasing importance of international examinations, Language Link has created a number of in-house syllabi used in the teaching of these courses. Prior to entering an examination preparation course, a student is thoroughly diagnosed in order to determine his or her current level of language performance. Students are likewise advised as to the most appropriate examination for their needs, should the student not know this. Tuition and preparation is given for the following exams: the TOEFL, all Cambridge Exams, IELTS, GMAT, and on request SAT or GRE.\nThe Young Learners Department is currently being set up to support Language Link teachers teaching English within the state school system (primary and secondary). Classes often take place after school hours. Teachers are provided with relevant teaching materials and a Materials Design Programme is currently in place.\nBusiness English is conducted either in-company or on the school's premises. Programmes are tailored towards the clients' needs and classes are either small groups or one to one. Teachers design their own courses and are supported with relevant coursebooks and supplementary materials. Students are currently offered BEC and EFB in our major city centres.\nLanguage Link offers a multi-level Intensive Business English Programme for students who need to use English for international business. Each course has been designed around the specific needs of a particular level of language learner and is very practical in nature. In all our courses we aim to equip students with the language skills required to deal with real-world business situations, e.g. meetings and negotiations, telephoning, meeting clients, writing letters and reports, giving presentations. This we achieve through a balance of language activities within a lesson used alongside our own and leading published Business English materials.\nLanguage Assessment Service\nLanguage Link has developed a comprehensive Language Assessment Service for both current students and external clients. This entails an examination in all key language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking and tests how well the student/ client can communicate in everyday General English and business situations. This assessment may be used as proof of language proficiency for employers within Russia and the CIS.",

He asked if she\u2019d like a drink, to which she replied that she never mixed work with pleasure. So, Matt fired her, they went out for a drink and lived happily ever after.\nIn case you can\u2019t tell from their engagement photos, Jessica and Matt are so much fun!

People can have issues and tests that they would need help from the medical laboratories and hence will require getting the best medical laboratories like LifeBrite Labs Lawsuit If you are in need of such a laboratory, you will then need to evaluate for the aspects that are in the paragraphs below.\nThe first aspects to evaluate for is the qualification and the knowledge in medicine and laboratory operations. To be able to carry out the operations and the tests that occur in the medical lab, it will be important to ensure that you go for the one that will have the best personnel. The personnel needs to have undertaken the courses that relate to this field and acquired a degree that will give them the knowledge. With the qualification, the personnel will give the correct details that concerning the tests and also perform and handle them with the profession that is needed to prevent transmission of diseases and infections.\nWhen you are choosing the best medical laboratory for your tests, you will also be required to consider for the equipment that is available in that laboratory. In the field of medicine, there are much equipments that you can be used in the testing of various diseases and tests. It is impossible for the medical laboratory to carry out tests that are related to medicine. This would be an inconvenience to most people. The latest equipment in this field is improved to be able to bring the most accurate and precise results.\nThe medical laboratories play a great part in the medical industry. It is important for these medical laboratories to take part in the conservation of the environment. This means that medical laboratories require having the best way to have their wastes disposed so that the waste will not be of harm to the environment and the humans. There are different types of wastes that are disposed by the medical lab which can be categorized as general medical waste, hazardous medical wastes, and infectious medical wastes. They should have different methods of waste management such as incineration and other methods.\nQuotes: view it now",

        "title": "Dark Triad: Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy - Nick Keca",
        "raw_content": "Dark Triad: Narcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy - Nick Keca\nNarcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy represent the three Dark Triad traits. Described as a dynamic, complex phenomenon, the study of personality in twins (monozygotic and dizygotic) has shown that around 40% to 50% of our personality is genetically heritable while the remainder is learned from experiencing life events and the role models around us. Adding to the mix, emerging research in the field of epigenetics has found that significant life events can change our DNA, which in turn can affect our personality (and mental wellbeing). Altogether, these bring the realisation that rather than being static, as was originally thought, aspects of personality are fluid, they interact with environmental/situational factors and they can be modified through experience and learning. This article simply intends to increase awareness of personality, traits and interactions because even that can have a positive impact for many.\nPersonality is expressed in terms of bright and dark traits where bright traits are typically associated with positive, pro-social behaviours and dark traits are associated with negative, anti-social behaviours. Since personality traits manifest themselves in terms of specific behavioural characteristics, understanding an individual\u2019s trait makeup allows assumptions to be made about their typical behavioural tendencies. This is a significant source of competitive advantage in a work context and it is the main reason for much of the research into personality traits and workplace outcomes to date.\nAll personality traits present themselves on a broad spectrum. At their extremes, traits may manifest as some form of (observable) maladaptive behaviour. In the case of the Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy), the extreme of these traits is identified clinically as a personality disorder. Consequently, much of what is currently known about these dark traits originates from the study of the relatively small clinical populations, reported to be about 1% of the general population.\nIn seeking to understand the reasons for the numerous scandals and examples of destructive behaviour in modern corporations, organisational researchers have discovered that these dark traits also exist on a spectrum in the sub-clinical (normal) population. The Corporate Psychopath is an example. However, this realisation has also revealed an ethical dilemma because the clinical origin of these dark personality traits can lead to misconceptions that unfairly stigmatise individuals and result in unjustified discrimination. Therein lies the problem. Although narcissism and psychopathy share a label and are the same species at both the clinical and sub-clinical levels, they are no more similar than lions and domestic cats. We should therefore be cautious about mislabelling people and about what we conclude from articles referring to \u2018Toxic Workplace Behaviours\u2019. Although such articles intend to shine a light on the problem of undesirable workplace behaviours, they do little to advance understanding of the causes of such behaviours \u2013 and there\u2019s not point stigmatising somebody for behaviours that can be modified! Neither is the situation clear cut or simple. Despite the associated stigma, dark triad traits are not all bad, or undesirable. Dark traits also have a bright side, in fact, some of the most successful individuals on the planet would score highly on the dark triad scales and they owe their successes (and high profile failures) to their personality.\nAfter twenty years of professional interest including five years of intensive doctoral research, I\u2019ve come to the opinion that there is a general lack of understanding of personality and what knowledge we do have isn\u2019t widely shared with those that could benefit from it the most. Given the significant potential benefit such knowledge can bring in the workplace and more generally, it\u2019s hard to imagine another broad area of research that has more potential impact and opportunity for good.\nRealising this opportunity is also becoming more important from a corporate perspective because the competitive context in which organisations operate means that they have to rely increasingly on individual\u2019s self-regulated behaviours. An example of this is the trend in reducing hierarchies by flattening organisational structures, a trend that wholly relies on self-management and highly developed pro-social behaviours needed to support problem solving and coordination. In contrast, the tendency to simply remove individuals with challenging behaviours from the workforce, or to try to solve behavioural problems by creating onerous bureaucratic frameworks of rules, policies and performance management practices, is both inefficient and ineffective. Populations in western economies are both declining and ageing which diminishes the potential labour pool so removing well trained employees that don\u2019t fit a model of ideal behaviours will become unattractive. In any event, the kind of individuals specifically targeted by such bureaucratic systems, i.e. those typically scoring highly on the dark triad traits, are unlikely to change their behaviour in isolation of other meaningful situational constraints, such as strong social exchange relationships with supervisors and colleagues. That, perhaps, is one of the reasons we keep having corporate scandals and probably always will.\nWhatever you think about the current corporate climate, to change the status quo we\u2019ll need to try something new. Although the study of personality isn\u2019t new, its development has been muted and it needs to be invigorated where it can do most good, the workplace. A decade of technological development has resulted in a universal decline in productivity. In the same timeframe, management researchers have reported a dramatic increase in the prevalence and strength of all of the dark triad traits compared with twenty-five years ago. This, they say, is because western society is far more competitive and materialistic than it was in the past and the behaviours associated with these dark traits are required in order to be successful. At the same time, the prominence of reality TV and development of social media provides everybody with a platform to express themselves, become performers, or be part of a viewing audience. We have become more psychopathic, more narcissistic and more Machiavellian because today\u2019s competitive environment requires it, the smart phone in our pocket enables it; and, for some, reality TV normalises examples of maladjusted behaviour by creating role models of the participants who subsequently become media celebrities thus reinforcing the message that such behaviours result in success.\nThe malleability of trait related behaviours and the consequence of this disturbing trend makes it an imperative that we develop our understanding of personality, otherwise the current trajectory will result in increasingly destructive and more prevalent maladaptive behaviours, more personality disorders and more mental health issues (i.e. narcissistic personality disorder, anxiety and depression are already reported to epidemic among American youths).\nWe need more research of personality and the knowledge that we already have needs to be shared with those that can benefit from it. A broad spectrum of initiatives are required, including the proactive engagement of corporations in empirical research of personality so our understanding can advance more rapidly. There is a payback. In return, corporations can expect to benefit from unlocking organisation design innovations that are currently beyond their reach, they can expect to improve the management of risk by creating ethical, inclusive cultures that neither unreasonably discriminate against individual differences, or rely on costly and largely ineffective bureaucracy; further, they can also expect to positively impact the motivation of their people, build trust and reduce the costs associated with unproductive conflict, loss of social cohesion and the failure of social relationships that result.\nThese are extraordinary times. Times marred by: corruption in politics, public displays of moral delinquency, politicking that paralyses the processes of government; unacceptable risk taking within financial institutions that jeopardises the economic wellbeing of all; rising prison populations around the world; inappropriate behaviours within organisations, such as the global retail chains that abuse their supplier relationships, questionable management behaviours leading to infamous monikers like \u2018Fred the Shred\u2019, or man management practices like the \u2018Hairdryer treatment\u2019, etc. Perhaps most disturbing, deepening inequalities and declining social cohesion that are creating wholesale disaffection with \u2018The Establishment\u2019. It\u2019s hard to avoid a view that TRUST is universally in decline when every misdeed falls under the spotlight of the digital media, further reinforcing distrust and hardening attitudes. But, what does this have to do with Personality?\nLife experiences colour our perception but the makeup of our personality traits influences how we think, feel, act; and how we develop and maintain relationships in different situations: whether these relationships are with other individuals (42% of marriages fail), or within the organisations we work for (85% of employees have to deal with workplace conflict), and/or the society we live in, with its complex social structures and framework of norms and rules that require our compliance as members. People are front and centre of these events, organisational performance and relationship outcomes. It is their behaviours that determine whether these will be positive or negative, desired or detrimental. People create laws, rules and policies for corporate governance, social responsibility, etc. People define corporate culture with their behaviours; they decide the extent to which they will comply with the laws, rules and policies created by others, their behaviours determine if outcomes align with corporate goals and if they individually and collectively will have successful, enduring, cohesive, social relationships. It is personality that underpins human behaviour and individual\u2019s differences in personality that results in the infinite variety of behaviours that make us human. If we want a different world, we have to start by looking in the mirror. Even if we you don\u2019t like what we see, we now know that we can change it \u2013 if we know how and we want to.\nPersonality Assessment: Falling Short of Being Useful\nDespite the rich history of classifying personality in context of behaviours and work place outcomes, the practice of personality assessment has yet to deliver the potential that makes the proposition so compelling. Unfortunately there are many and complex reasons for this, some of the more prominent being the unreliability of self-reporting as a personality assessment tool and the reluctance of organisations to participate in empirical research. This forces researchers to find compromises and collect data from potentially unrepresentative populations, such as students, prisoners and clinical populations. Consequently, the progress of understanding of personality is slower than it might be \u2013 you can\u2019t generalise conclusions from an unrepresentative sample! This requires more studies over a longer period which in turn mutes the interest of an audience that expects instant solutions and results. This is the unfortunate paradox between management research and management practice; those that have the knowledge aren\u2019t in a position to put it into practice while those in practice need the knowledge but don\u2019t have it \u2013 so they make do and argue against the need for further research.\nThis is a shame and a missed opportunity. The increased prominence of knowledge workers, rise of service industries and flattening, global, corporate structures makes organisations, and society generally, ever more reliant on individual behaviours. In contrast, the apparent willingness of political and organisational leaders to ignore the most important aspect (personality) of their greatest asset (people) needs to be addressed. Rather than developing understanding of the causes of undesirable behaviour, each successive scandal results in more legislation and ever more onerous corporate policies that merely add bureaucracy while leaving outcomes unchanged. This preoccupation with treating the effects rather than addressing the cause is puzzling. If politicians, shareholders and CxOs are genuinely concerned about the declining global trends in productivity, which comes despite all of the investment in technology, process automation, reorganisation and cost cutting, perhaps its time to ask if they know their people and their people know themselves \u2013 well enough.\nAddressing the Challenges with a New Model\nThe study of personality traits made a great leap forward with the validation of The Big Five model. This model assesses each of the traits: conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, emotional stability (neuroticism) and openness to experience on a scale. It is the most commonly used model of personality because it provides a baseline against which a variety of important organisational outcomes, such as: leadership, performance, cohesion, counter-productive work behaviour, etc., might be assessed. Even so, the Big Five model is not without challenges of its own, i.e. it\u2019s not popular with practitioners, consistently small correlations have led to sometimes ambiguous conclusions, it can be difficult to translate into meaningful practical terms; and, perhaps most significant of all, personality traits are considerably more complex and dynamic than the model suggests (which is the point of creating models \u2013 to try to explain things that are complex).\nNew explanatory theories are being developed to address some of the more prominent issues, i.e. the highly variable contextual environments found in organisations are thought to be the reason for the inconsistency in some studies. Theories such as Trait Interaction and Trait Activation were developed, both of which have advanced understanding and led to ever more complex studies by considering control variables, mediating and moderating effects.\nTrait interaction theory simply states that personality and the situational environment play key roles in influencing individual behaviour. Early interaction research focused on the relative influence of personality compared with the strength of a situation in determining behaviour. In strong situations where behaviour is constrained either implicitly or explicitly, everybody will behave in the same way regardless of their unique personalities. In contrast, in weak situations where there are few (or no) situational constraints, an individual\u2019s behaviour is more likely to reflect their unique personality. Therefore, weaksituations tend to have little influence over behaviour which typically reflects the individual\u2019s personality traits; bearing in mind that trait expression is observed in overt behaviours that either contribute positively to performance, are irrelevant to performance, or are counter-productive. Reciprocal Social Exchange is an example of a strong situational factor but what does this mean in practice?\nThink about a situation where you are entering into a new relationship, e.g. meeting a new boss, new colleagues in a new job, or somebody that is somehow important like a new romantic partner. Now think about the way you behave in that situation. Typically people don\u2019t behave as naturally as they might when they know somebody really well; you are socially inhibited, careful about what you say and how you say it; you are supportive, empathetic and attentive to their body language and reactions. In other words, you show them your best side and that means tuning out some aspects of your behaviours that might be more reflective of your personality (e.g. a raging extravert would rein in their behaviour, an introvert would be more chatty, etc). So what happens as the relationship matures, with time and experience?\n\u21d2 If the relationship is satisfying and rewarding to you, you continue to make every effort to avoid negative events. You try hard and make compromises about things that are important to you because you expect to get the same response in return. For example, if you tend to be narcissistic, you will try to be less selfish (and less everything else that characterises narcissism) because it presents a risk to the relationship. The relationship continues to develop and it endures for as long as the reciprocal social exchange relationship remains. So, this situational factor, reciprocal social exchange, interacts with your personality to modify your behaviours which in turn interact with the behaviours of the other person in the relationship.\n\u21d2 Conversely, if the satisfaction you get from your relationship declines as time goes by, i.e. the other person (or company) stops being supportive, or stops doing all the things they did previously that pleased you and motivated you to respond in kind; the situation will become weaker and your behaviours will shift and reflect your personality \u2013 because weak situational constraint result in your inherent trait behaviours being expressed rather than the modified version resulting form social exchange. This is often why, when relationships break down, both sides claim the other side had \u2018changed\u2019, or is not the same person they were when you first met. In the workplace such situational responses could be: the perception of unfair treatment or lack of organisational justice, missed opportunities for promotion, loss of status or rewards leading to a motivational decline and resulting in deteriorating performance/commitment/motivation/effort, etc. When reciprocity ceases, social exchange relationships decline and behaviours will reflect personality.\nInteractions between people and the environment are reciprocal in that situations influence individual\u2019s behaviours and individual\u2019s behaviour influences the environment. Forming a negative opinion about an individual who has scored highly for say disagreeableness, or neuroticism, is unwarranted unless you ignore the fact that the individual will flex their behaviour depending on a large variety of circumstances, such as: a strong relationship with their supervisor or team mates, if there are important aspects about their job, e.g. high job satisfaction, status, reward, opportunities for learning and advancement, the importance of the job to the individual, availability of alternative jobs, and/or the interplay of other situational factors more personal to the individual, such as stress levels, health, etc.\nIt\u2019s inappropriate to draw conclusions about the potential future behaviours of individuals whose traits you\u2019ve identified through assessment if the assessment method is valid and you also have some understanding of how those traits will interact with interdependent environmental/situational factors.\nTrait Activation theory builds on earlier theories of motivation by stating that in order for personality traits to be expressed in a behaviour, environmental situations must be trait relevant. In other words, trait-relevant cues within environmental situations activate traits which are then expressed as pertinent behaviours. Since trait relevant differences among situations influence the expression of traits as behaviours, a trait that is present will remain dormant (i.e. it won\u2019t be expressed as a behaviour) unless the situation stimulates it \u2013 which is what makes the behaviour predictable. But, what does this actually mean in practice?\nA salesperson attending a business event that\u2019s also attended by lots of potential clients. The event provides the salesperson with the opportunity to express the extraverted behaviours necessary to socialise and establish client relationships. In response, an extraverted salesperson would be motivated to be sociable \u2013 so trait extraversion is activated by the environment providing opportunities to be sociable. If there was nobody for the salesperson to be sociable with, the trait cannot be activated. Clearly this has a significant consequence for extraverts that work in isolation because if a high extravert doesn\u2019t have an opportunity to express the trait they will become dissatisfied and may resort to counterproductive or destructive behaviours.\nTherefore, simply considering personality in isolation of situational variables is pointless. Making meaningful predictions about behaviours requires the consideration of both personality and situational characteristics within the environment.\nThe Big Five model has typically been used to assess bright personality traits in a positive context, e.g. which personality traits improve performance, make better leaders, etc\u2026 However, bright traits can also have a dark side at their extremes, in the manner in which they interact with each other and with other situational variables.\nThis creates significant complexity that makes the practical implementation of this knowledge a challenge. However, some knowledge, however simple, is better than no knowledge at all. For example: \u2013\n\u21d2 Highly conscientious individuals are typically very focussed on completing task goals and getting the job done but, conversely, they are also prone to being inflexible and intolerant of change.\n\u21d2 Teams where the degree of conscientiousness varies between individuals are mired with dissatisfaction, conflict, and loss of social cohesion. In a team with highly conscientious individuals working alongside individuals with low conscientiousness will stimulate aspects of moral disengagement, such as shirking and free-riding, as everybody looks to everybody else to take up the slack \u2013 which results in a wholesale decline in productivity.\n\u21d2 Individuals that are highly conscientious but low in openness to experience will be slow to absorb learning and development (and they may even be resistant to anything that challenges the status quo).\n\u21d2 Individuals that are highly conscientious will be dedicated and task focused regardless of the team climate and relationships with supervisors and colleagues. Individuals that are low in trait conscientiousness will behave as though they are a highly conscientious if they have strong and meaningful exchange relationships with their boss and their colleagues. However, individuals that are low in conscientiousness will behave according to their trait level if the team climate and relationships are poor. Over a period of time this will affect the entire team.\nOptimal situation \u2013 teams of individuals that are similar to each other, i.e. everyone has as close to the same level of conscientiousness as practical, preferably all slightly better than moderately conscientious, i.e. generally conscientious but not too conscientious and definitely not unconscientious. Also, the environmental situation, e.g. the team context, must be mutually supportive and positive so there are strong exchange relationships with leaders and coworkers.\n\u21d2 High extraversion is great for developing large social networks of superficial relationships and initiating social interaction, but the negative characteristics of high extraversion undermine relationships as time goes by since extraverts are highly political and more concerned with the social aspects of organisational life than they are in getting the job done.\n\u21d2 Having multiple high extraverts in a team creates a very sociable environment but high extraverts are prone to organisational politics and conflict which destroys social cohesion as time goes by. This is the dark side of extraversion.\n\u21d2 Low extraversion, known as introversion, results in individuals that are socially awkward and have fewer but deeper relationships. However, they also tend to be more considered and analytical which is a significant asset with team working. The strength of their relationships provides them with leverage and having fewer relationship to maintain is less personally demanding.\n\u21d2 A team of high extraverts and high introverts are unlikely to be cohesive and the quality of communication and engagement would be very poor \u2013 they are too different and make each other uncomfortable.\nOptimal situation \u2013 teams that have a diverse distribution of the trait and very few highly extraverted members. The rest should ideally be moderately extravert.\n\u21d2 Low trait agreeableness (disagreeableness) is a problem for organisations in a team context \u2013 reflecting the adage \u2018one bad apple spoils the barrel\u2019. This is the dark side of agreeableness. Extremely low agreeableness destroys team cohesion through conflict and unproductive tensions and yet, in high stress situations where difficult decisions are required to be made quickly, these individuals may perform well in the short term \u2013 although they\u2019ll make few friends while they are doing it!\n\u21d2 Individuals that are low in trait agreeableness (disagreeable) will behave as though they are a highly agreeable if they have strong and meaningful exchange relationships with their boss and their colleagues. However, individuals that are disagreeable will behave consistent with the trait if the team climate and relationships are poor. Over a period of time this will affect the entire team.\nOptimal situation \u2013 teams made up of individuals who are all moderately agreeable or slightly better, generally no individuals who are disagreeable or highly agreeable. As before, the environmental situation, e.g. the team context, must be mutually supportive and positive so there are strong exchange relationships with leaders and coworkers to motivate agreeable behaviour and impulse control.\n\u21d2 High emotional stability results in individuals that are completely unfazed by the pressures and stresses of modern organisations. They are not prone to outbursts of emotion and typically just get on with the job without creating drama. On the other hand, high emotional stability manifests as a lack of empathy and appropriate emotional response. This is unhelpful in developing social relationships as it is perceived as lacking empathy or having an icy cold demeanour.\n\u21d2 Low emotional stability (known as neuroticism) is disruptive to organisation functioning as it tends to manifest in terms of high anxiety, endless complaints, dissatisfactions and high drama. Nothing is right for a neurotic individual, they are prone to absence and sometimes lack productivity. On the other hand, the natural anxiety of neurotics means that they can be very task focussed and attentive to details and schedule. There are many situations where having a worrier on the team is helpful.\nOptimal situation \u2013 in a team setting, generally a team made up of individuals who have better than moderate levels of emotional stability across team members. Teams can benefit from the calming influence of individuals with high emotional stability in stressful environments and the natural anxiety and environmental scanning characteristics of the neurotic is helpful in stable environments.\n\u21d2 Individuals high in openness are highly engaged in learning and trying new things, consequently they are innovative and spur teams on to experiment and change. On the other hand, high openness leads to individuals who are always looking for the next shiny and exciting thing so they are not necessarily focussed on goal achievement/task completion.\n\u21d2 At the other end of the scale, individuals who are low in trait openness have fixed views about how things should be done, they dislike change and will typically be resistant to learning. On the other hand, with few distractions, individuals low in openness are focussed on task completion.\nOptimal situation \u2013 Much depends on the context. In environments that are rapidly changing and require considerable problem solving/creativity, the optimal mix would be many individuals scoring high in openness. In more stable environments, teams with just a few (one or two) individuals who are high openness with the balance of the team being moderately open.\nNarcissism, Machiavellianism and Psychopathy represent the three Dark Triad traits. Although these have been studied extensively from a clinical perspective, i.e. as personality disorders, there is little empirical research of these traits at the sub-clinical level in normal populations \u2013 such as we might find in the workplace. This is despite the fact that such research has much to offer individuals and organisations alike in terms of understanding the behaviours relating to the development of social relationships and performance outcomes.\nRegrettably, the stigma associated with these traits makes it difficult to secure participation in research and presents ethical challenges, since misunderstandings/misconceptions of these dark traits creates the risk of unwarranted discrimination, both in recruitment selection and inappropriate performance management. Nobody wants to be labelled a psychopath, but this is only part of the story. Although clinical and sub-clinical expressions of psychopathy share a label and belong to the same species, they are no more similar that a lion and a domestic cat.\nThe unfortunate consequence of these misconceptions is that we understand the least about some of the most important and potentially destructive aspects of our behaviour. These traits lie at the heart of the high profile corporate scandals; they are responsible for the deficiencies in corporate governance and social responsibility, performance failures, and breakdowns in relationships that are so personally and professionally damaging.\nSimilarly, understanding how these traits compile and aggregate at the organisational level will do more to help us understand and transform corporate culture than almost any other approach. If we are serious about having inclusive, ethical, corporate cultures, we have to start by understanding the causes of the behaviours we\u2019d like to avoid or change. Legislating against undesirable behaviours will do little to change the status quo, especially with high narcs, machs and psychopaths, all of whom care little for attempts to define culture, rules, structure. Neither do they respect the norms of reciprocity that make social relationships work.\nDark Triad Traits\n\u2013 Most individuals (and organisations) possess some level of narcissism that colours their perceptions and determines their behaviours. At the sub-clinical level, high trait narcissists (high narcs) are described as being: proud, arrogant, cocky, highly self-centred, controlling, duplicitous, and hyper sensitive to criticism; they have a high sense of entitlement, seek status and prestige, feel superior to others and have an inflated view of themselves. They lack empathy and are exhibitionist, exploitative and have dominant personalities. Narcissists are boastful and are prone to exaggerating their achievements; they block feedback, refuse compromise and tend to only pursue interpersonal and romantic relationships with individuals that provide them with the admiration they crave. Consequently narcissists tend to engage in a lot of short term relationships (hook ups). Since high narcs are primarily concerned with displaying and acknowledging their own talent and brilliance, they desire praise, admiration and recognition to the exclusion of all others. The self-aggrandising ego trip is the trademark of the narcissist. They lack human values, fantasise about control, unlimited and unrealistic levels of success and admiration. Being self-serving, narcissists make decisions based purely on self-interest rather than in the interests of their organisations, colleagues, or other important stakeholder relationships. High narcs are also associated with aggression and they will typically either ignore negative feedback, or respond to it aggressively. However, if egos are threatened, or if they are publicly censured or criticised, they are likely to get into a rage as they lack impulse control.\n\u2013 is the name of a ruthless and selfish approach to management originally advocated by Niccolo Machiavelli. The trait of Machiavellianism came to the attention of management researchers when Christie and Geis published a personality scale based on Machiavelli\u2019s ideas. Of the three dark traits, Machiavellianism is the only trait that is not also a clinical disorder, even in its extreme and the high trait form is referred to as high mach. High maths are critical, they endorse a negative view of others and are more likely to make ethically suspect choices. They consider themselves skilful manipulators but if their overall emotional intelligence is not as strong as they believe it to be, their actual skill will not match their self-image. High machs are observant and very aware of their surroundings; they are cunning, calculative, intelligent and relatively successful in their careers, particularly if they work in unstructured and/or less organised settings \u2013 such as environments undergoing cycles of transformative change. However, as organisational structure increases their personal success tends to decrease. High narcs are not necessarily disliked by others but neither are they exceptionally successful when politicking [because their motives become transparent and this corrodes trust]. While high machs are more likely to cheat, lie, and betray others if it gives them an advantage, they also tend to avoid regular or extreme forms of anti-social behaviour. Narcissism is described as a strategy involving social manipulation for personal gain but unlike psychopaths, high maths are not devoid of conscience. However, they are similar to psychopaths in that they pursue strategies that promote self-interest, use deception, flattery and emotional detachment to manipulate and exploit social and interpersonal relationships to their own benefit.\n\u2013 Like narcissism, psychopathy was originally considered a clinical disorder (antisocial personality disorder), but it too has been recognised to exist on the clinical and sub-clinical spectrum. At the sub-clinical level, high trait psychopathy is characterised by a lack of empathy and concern for other people, social regulatory mechanisms and social norms. Psychopaths are generally bad tempered, highly impulsive and completely devoid of conscience, guilt, or remorse when their behaviours are harmful/detrimental to others. Interpersonally, high psychs are skilled impression managers who are slick, charismatic and superficially charming. Emotionally superficial, they tend to adopt parasitic lifestyles and will engage in criminal behaviour to achieve their ends. They employ high levels of deception, manipulation and are described as being crafty. However, they also tend to have an inflated view of their abilities and this creates the likelihood that their true nature will be noticed. Not all psychopaths are in prison. Misinformation and confusion in the media have created a misconception of psychopathy in the general public. This is more evident still with business professionals who see even less relevance of psychopathy to their daily interactions with colleagues in the workplace. Even so, psychologists have come to recognise that some psychopaths have good impulse control. They are not prone to outbursts of spontaneous, violent, criminal behaviour and they function successfully and exist in society relatively undetected. Such individuals have more recently been referred to as Corporate Psychopaths and they are thought to have certain behavioural advantages over individuals that score lower on the psychopathic scale. Corporate psychopaths are reportedly the product of the modern corporation where the rate of change, high turnover of staff and limited selection processes ignore their negative traits and allow them to advance to the most senior positions.\nDespite the fact that psychopathy has been identified as the most destructive of the dark triad traits, little is known about how many psychopaths exist in society (and therefore the workplace) and there are very few studies into the sub-clinical populations of high functioning psychopaths. Some think psychopaths represent about one percent of the general population, others say that as many as three million employers and employees could be classified as psychopathic, other studies have found that between 3.5% to 4% of top executives were psychopathic, yet others report that corporate psychopaths lie in the range of 5% to 15% of the workforce.\nDark Triad and Reciprocal Social Exchange Relationships\nAs discussed above, relationships in the workplace are generally based on reciprocity \u2013 I\u2019ll work hard, be reliable, go the extra mile and support you in return for you paying me a fair salary, treating me fairly, recognising my achievements and reward me with bonus and promotions. This is referred to as Social Exchange.\nWe shouldn\u2019t simply consider dark traits negatively despite the fact that high expressions of any of these traits can be destructive and have consequences well beyond the actions of an individual. Just as reciprocal exchange relationship influence behavioural responses with the Big Five traits, they also influence behaviours in dark traits \u2013 otherwise high narcs, machs and psychs would never be able to form a relationship with anyone. However, individuals scoring highly on dark triad traits require stronger situational cues to motivate them to respect reciprocal exchange relationships and this makes them volatile. in absence of a strong situation, individuals with high dark traits would otherwise be predisposed to ignore or undermine reciprocal exchange, because these individuals are inherently: disagreeable, disruptive, lacking in emotional commitment to others, overlook their obligations and ignore the very ideal of reciprocity. For example: because high machs are typically distrusting they are unlikely to believe that putting any extra effort into their job will be rewarded; because narcissists believe they are superior to their colleagues, they don\u2019t believe the social rules pertaining to reciprocity and obligation apply to them; and, the complete insensitivity of psychopaths means that they are unlikely to behave in ways that are pleasing to their colleagues, such as being supportive or generally helping to make life better \u2013 unless doing so benefits them directly.\nPersonality is complex and dynamic and this creates problems in assessing personality and using the information meaningfully in practice. While it\u2019s conceptually compelling, we don\u2019t have enough understanding of the interaction between personality and the situational environment and what understanding we do have isn\u2019t shared with those that could benefit most from the knowledge. However, understanding traits better provides us with the opportunity to: \u2013\n\u21d2 Develop intelligent learning and development, performance management and recognition and reward systems.\n\u21d2 Increase the reliability of cultural transformation.\n\u21d2 Avoid some of the negative behaviours that we currently simply label as toxic because we don\u2019t understand them sufficiently to call them anything else. Repeating the point, the Dark Triad traits may be the same species at the clinical and sub-clinical levels but they are as different as lions and domestic cats.\n\u21d2 Avoid stigmatising and inappropriately discriminating against behaviours through misconception, thereby reducing inappropriate bias and increasing the likelihood of transparency. Scoring highly on any dark traits doesn\u2019t necessarily result in destructive workplace behaviours because the behaviours that are ultimately displayed will depend on a number of other situational factors \u2013 see trait interaction and trait activation.\n\u21d2 Identify the trait makeup of psychopathic leaders will enable the opportunity to develop their inherent strengths while appropriately supporting their weaknesses \u2013 and managing resulting risks.\n\u21d2 Understanding the aggregate trait make up at an organisational level will help define corporate cultures in more meaningful terms, while making cultural modification more reliable and sustainable.\n\u21d2 Understanding at what point these traits actually matter and also understating the situations factors that constrain behaviours. In other words, how dark is dark and under what conditions do high functioning individuals that score high on these dark traits lose their ability to manage the negative behaviours expressed with these traits.\n\u21d2 Ensure that we embed appropriate situational variables within our organisational designs to motivate the desired behaviours \u2013 without the need for excessive bureaucracy and unnecessary supervision that is constraining organisation development, inflating costs, driving performance failure, or resulting in conflict/relationship failures.\nIt may be idealistic to think that individuals and the organisations in which they work, will be able to manage the vast complexity associated with their dynamically interdependent personalities but, the continuing development: research methods, inferential statistical techniques, Big Data, Predictive Analytics, Cognitive Bias Modification; technologies like facial recognition, apps, \u2018wearable tech\u2019 and the field of epigenetics will, in time, help to bridge the knowledge gap. In the mean time, sharing what we know to improve understanding of personality provides opportunities for increased self-management and self-awareness. I can\u2019t imagine any circumstance where this isn\u2019t a good thing, whether it\u2019s in your personal life, or in a professional context.\nThank you for reading my post, please feel free to share with others.

        "raw_content": "Charlie will be four years old in August. This year he began a morning pre-school program for kids with special needs. His favorite part of school is riding the bus to and from class. He is also the proud new owner of a gait trainer and a host of adaptive braces for his legs and left arm. These braces help him stand in his gait trainer and even do some light walking. While mobility is coming slowly for Charlie, he is making great strides to combat the effects of his stroke and resulting Cerebral Palsy.\nWe're very happy to report that Charlie's epilepsy is being kept in check due to medication. His last EEG in the spring came back clean. We are in and out of therapy, trying to find the right mix of speech, physical and occupational for Charlie. His latest treatment, a round of botox shots to ease his over-toned musculature, has been very successful. This allows Charlie to move more freely and benefit from the corrective bracing to his limbs.\nAs always, you can keep up with Charlie at www.HelpCharlieHeal.com.\n- Sarah Greenman\nSince you last saw Charlie in June of 2012, he has made some incredible strides. His sign language vocabulary is now at 12 words, which he uses to communicate with his family. In the past two months he has been saying the words \"mama\", \"more\" and \"eat\". He is also sitting up and spinning around on his bottom to move through space. In January he acquired a wheel chair, which has been instrumental in creating freedom and mobility for Charlie. He continues speech, physical and occupational therapy and will begin getting botox injections this summer to treat his Cerebral Palsy. Charlie continues to negotiate life with Epilepsy, a condition brought on by his strokes. And as of November, Charlie's craniofacial surgeon is cautious about Charlie's head circumference. He explained there is a slight possibility Charlie may need another craniofacial vault to continue to correct the affects of the Craniosynostosis. But for now, the Greenman Family is very pleased with Charlie's progress and optimistic about the future. Thank you Kenna's Kids for being a part of this amazing journey!\nCharlie's Story...\nCharlie was born on August 4, 2010. Approximately 12 hours after he was born, he began having seizures. An MRI revealed he had suffered two strokes affecting the right side of his brain. The strokes occurred in utero. Charlie's stroke may or may not be due to another condition he has called Craniosynostosis.\nThis is when two skull plates fuse prematurely in the womb. It is going to take years to fully comprehend what the stroke will mean for Charlie's motor skills, cognitive and language development. Only time will tell how his brain will recover from the trauma. In the meantime, Charlie has the love of his family and us - a strong network friends to help him grow and heal.\nRead more about Charlie, www.HelpCharlieHeal.com.\nCharlie joins Kenna's Kids (2012), click here.",

I never want people to crave those things. because those things don\u2019t mean s--t. They are not going to bring you happiness.\"\nMoore never refers to anyone in particular in the interview, but it seems obvious that he had specific people in mind when making his comments.\n\u201cI see people doing a lot of things on social media that, you know, are not really in their character but they are trying so hard to be like, 'Look at me,'\" says the singer, who will head out on his After the Sunburn headlining tour later this year. \"I don\u2019t think that equates to a real fanbase.\"\nIn fact, Moore says much of what people are doing on their social media channels these days downright baffles him.\n\"If I take a morning selfie with my shirt off and I show my physique and do this sexy face to the camera, am I going to gain more followers?\" Moore asks, laughing. \"Yeah, maybe I\u2019ll get some teeny bopper followers, but I don\u2019t think that equates to anything real and tangible. If you are going to gain people that way, I think you essentially cheapen it in the long run.\"\nInstead, Moore says he remains committed to sharing the things that are real in his life at this very moment. \"I made money now and I\u2019m still living in the same two-bedroom tiny little place,\" he says. \"I want people to crave the right things in life.\"\nAll of the Country Albums Hitting Shelves in 2018\nSource: Kip Moore on Social Media Envy: \u2018Those Things Don\u2019t Mean S\u2013t\u2019",

        "raw_content": "At the age of five I had my very own encyclopedia. I couldn\u2019t pronounce the word much less know what it was. I stared at the golden pages of the beautifully bound, burgundy leather books.\n\u201cAnd what is it for?\u201d I asked my dad.\n\u201cSo you can go to college,\u201d he replied.\nI still remember what the glossy pages smelled and felt like. My dad paid for them in installments. They still sit in his office.\nMy father was an immigrant from Mexico with a sixth-grade education who spoke broken English. Contrary to what Mr. Trump believes, he wasn\u2019t a rapist or on government assistance. He worked a factory job, which he used to pay for my private school education.\nI would feel horrible getting a bad grade, knowing my dad worked hard to send me to this school which, as he said, was \u201cthe best investment he could have made.\u201d\n\u201cTen years from now, the color of your hair, your shoes, and clothes\u2014none of it will matter. Only your education will, you will take that with you everywhere you go.\u201d\nHe read me books or told me stories every night. He handed me the Spanish newspaper and had me read it out loud to ensure I could not only speak Spanish, but also read, write and understand it.\nBeing a single father, he did the best he could to give me the best life possible. At times I could even sense that he might have felt a little guilty because my mother wasn\u2019t in the picture; she left when I was a kid, taking my only sibling, my little brother, with her.\nWhen it came to anything related to school or education, he would go out of his way to provide it. Dial-up AOL soon replaced my encyclopedias. I had a desktop computer with no desk. I did my homework by sitting on the floor with the computer propped up on a coffee table.\nI took a bus, two trains and a shuttle to get to my private all-girls high school in a nice neighborhood. I never felt like I fit in. I wasn\u2019t cool, I didn\u2019t drive a Mercedes and my dad was not a doctor. I was the girl from South Central; rumors circulated that I sold drugs out of my bedroom window. At home, I was the rich girl with AOL who went to private school. I lived in these two very different worlds, without belonging to either.\nA classmate\u2019s car window was broken and I was questioned. \u201cYou know she lives in the ghetto, it was probably her.\u201d I felt singled out by teachers; I was already labeled. I advocated for myself constantly and it became exhausting. I got in a fight and was expelled.\nMy dad met with the principal and they agreed to let me finish out the semester. Imagine going to a private school that doesn\u2019t want you there. I hated it.\nBeing expelled meant public school. No private school was going to take me having that expulsion on my record. Public schools are based on the area you live in. We lied and used someone else\u2019s address to avoid my going to the local high school. At first, it wasn\u2019t much better.\nMy first day of school I went to all of my classes and was in disbelief. It was 10th grade English and we were learning basic grammar. I went to the principal\u2019s office and asked to change my classes. He said he would do so if I earned straight A\u2019s. That accomplished, I was switched to AP and honors classes. We had so many resources\u2014computers in the classroom, books to take home, small class numbers and the teachers were amazing. I was in student government and Key Club.\nSoon, I began to hear whispers about me. I tried to hide my pregnancy, but they knew. Teachers gave me judgmental looks and made comments under their breath. When I asked for college information, the counselor replied, \u201cFor what? You\u2019re not going to go, so why do you want it for?\u201d\nMy father did not judge me or turn his back on me; he was there for me more than ever before. Despite his disappointment, he made my future a priority as he always did. I graduated high school with honors and a giant belly. I went to East Los Angeles College, a community college, made the dean\u2019s list and graduated with honors.\nThe day I received an acceptance letter to California State University, Northridge, it meant that the cycle was broken and a college education would now be a given, no longer a question.\nIf it was not for the foundation my father built, with his support and guidance, I may not have gone to college. All he taught me, all he sacrificed and worked for led to what we long wanted.\nNow I ask my daughter, \u201cCeleste, what college are you going to?\u201d\nShe replies, \u201cYale, Mom. I want to go to Yale.\u201d\nThis was my immigrant father\u2019s dream. For me, for her.\nPhoto of Lily Gonzalez and Father Greg of Homeboy Industries.

His family was friends with the artist Frans Hens and it was Hens that encouraged the young Albert to pursue an artistic vocation. Graduating around 1900 he moved to the coastal town of Nieuport and commenced painting the sea, sand dunes and fisherman that he found there. In 1907 he joined the art group known as Kunst Van Heden and became a regular exhibitor at their annual shows. His work, as a result of this exposure, began to gain the attention of the art critics of the day one of whom wrote \u2018Son coloris est riche et tempere, aristocratique et plein de distinction, tout comme sa personnalite attachante\u2019 (His colors are rich and temperate and full of aristocratic distinction, as is his engaging personality).\nOther works by Crahay can be seen at the Museum of Fine Art in Antwerp.",

        "raw_content": "Live Review: Summer Cannibals, Straight Outta Compton; the Maha survey; the week ahead\u2026\nCategory: Blog,Reviews \u2014 Tags: Maha Music Festival 2015, Straight Outta Compton, Summer Cannibals \u2014 @ 12:46 pm August 24, 2015\nSummer Cannibals at O\u2019Leaver\u2019s, Aug. 21, 2015.\nLight crowd for Summer Cannibals Friday night at O\u2019Leaver\u2019s. I guess that was to be expected, considering they\u2019re virtually unknown here and Sting\u2019s daughter was playing cross-town at the same time. The dozen or so of us on hand got a great show by a young band that could emerge as this generation\u2019s Sleater-Kinney. Actually, I\u2019m more apt to reach for SC\u2019s latest album than S-K\u2019s (sacrilege!) thanks to having a better handle on pop, though the band was no slouch when it came to raw, meaty guitar sound.\nBTW, Miniature Horse cancelled Friday night and Low Long Signal played as a two-piece, so it should have been an early night, except that I ran into a local music scene legend and we proceeded to attempt to solve the entire music industry problem over PBRs and Rolling Rocks. Our solutions are pending.\nWe also talked about Straight Outta Compton, which I recommend you catch whether you have an interest in late-\u201980s gangsta rap or not. I was warned the two-and-a-half hour movie had too many slow moments, but I didn\u2019t notice them. It was fun seeing not only NWA re-imagined on screen, but also other stars from the era, like Snoop Dogg and 2Pac. Who would have guessed Eazy-E could come off so lovable?\nThe folks behind the Maha Music Festival launched their annual post-festival survey this weekend where they ask what you liked and didn\u2019t like about Maha and (more importantly) who you want to see at next year\u2019s festival. Now is the time to speak up. Survey feedback was one of the factors that got Modest Mouse booked this year. Survey here.\nFriday night was my only venture out to music this weekend, and this week is looking kinda thin. The highlights:\n\u2014 Simon Joyner plays at O\u2019Leaver\u2019s Tuesday night.\n\u2014 Little Brazil closes out the Hear Omaha concert series at noon Thursday outside at 13th & Howard.\n\u2014 Beach Slang (Cursive tour mates) and See Through Dresses play at O\u2019Leaver\u2019s Thursday night.\nAnd then it\u2019s the weekend again already\u2026\nMore Maha info (set sched, food, booze); The Good Life streams new album\u2026\nCategory: Blog \u2014 Tags: Maha Music Festival 2015, The Good Life \u2014 @ 12:47 pm August 11, 2015\nSpeedy Ortiz at SXSW, March 18, 2015. The band plays at The Maha Music Festival Aug. 15.\nMaybe it\u2019s because Maha is Saturday, but it\u2019s a dead week show-wise. I mean nothing\u2019s going on (unless there\u2019s a show under the radar I don\u2019t know about (which is very possible)).\nThat lack of shows allows you to scratch together $50 for your Maha ticket. I\u2019ve had three people in the past three days contact me via the internet asking what the Maha set schedule is \u2014 three people who apparently don\u2019t know how to use the internet, because the Maha set schedule has been at mahamusicfestival.com for weeks now.\nSo for those lazy few unwilling to click the above link and scroll down, here\u2019s this year\u2019s Maha Music Festival set schedule:\nI\u2019m told there may be a secret \u201cspecial guest\u201d joining The Jayhawks, whose set is pretty early in the day. In fact, my favorite band of the festival \u2014 Alvvays \u2014 plays right before The Jayhawks at 2:05 p.m., and indie darling Ex-Hex is right before that. At first blush you might say, \u201cI would have scheduled both those bands later in the day,\u201d but perhaps Maha has finally taken my advice and scheduled a couple quality national bands early in an effort to get people to Stinson Park earlier in the day. Now let\u2019s hope the heat index is somewhere below 100 degrees.\nMaha today sent out a press release that lists this year\u2019s food and booze vendors. Not a bad selection (though I would have loved to see LaCasa on the list):\nTo Eat: Big Daddy\u2019s Donuts, Country Sno, Hy-Vee, Jones Bros, Kebobs Gyros and Brats, Mangia Italiana, and Voodoo Taco. For VIP only: Kitchen Table and Dante Pizzeria.\nTo Drink: Boulevard Brewing Company (hopefully the beer backpack dudes will be back), Pabst Blue Ribbon, Mike\u2019s Hard Lemonade, Mike\u2019s Palm Breeze Ruby Red, Angry Orchard, Red Bull, Coors Light, Pepsi Products (boo! Where\u2019s my Dr. Pepper?) and that old favorite Mixed Cocktail.\nThe Good Life have a prime slot at Maha, going on at 8 p.m. The band\u2019s new album, Everybody\u2019s Coming Down, is being streamed in its entirety at Stereogum (but actually on YouTube, below). Listen to the whole damn thing prior to its Aug. 14 drop date and read about the album in my interview with the band.\nWhere does Maha go from here? (in the column); Oquoa, Rocky Votolato tonight\u2026\nCategory: Blog,Column \u2014 Tags: Lauren Schomburg, Maha Music Festival 2015, oquoa, Rocky Votolato \u2014 @ 12:51 pm August 10, 2015\nThe Maha Music Festival is this coming Saturday, Aug. 15, at Stinson Park in Aksarben Village.\nThe Maha Music Festival is this coming Saturday, and chatter continues that this could be the first year it actually sells out. I don\u2019t know what \u201csells out\u201d equates to \u2014 10,000 tickets? If it happens it would create a new benchmark and would likely signal a change in how the festival is run in the future. Expansion to a 2-day event? Partnering with other local entities? A move of venue?\nThose options are covered in this month\u2019s Over the Edge column in The Reader. Maha Vice President Lauren Schomburg talks about the current state of the festival and possible future scenarios. The jury is definitely split as to whether Maha should remain a quaint 10,000-sized one-day indie music festival or take steps to grow into something bigger at the risk of losing some of its charm. Read the column (online here) and then let me know where you weigh in. And purchase your $50 tickets before it sells out.\nTonight at Pageturners Lounge Oquoa plays a free set as part of the bar\u2019s summer concert series. The show starts at 9 p.m. More info here.\nAlso tonight, singer/songwriter Rocky Votolato (Barsuk Records) headlines at Slowdown Jr. with Dave Hause and Chris Farren. $12, 8 p.m.\nModest Mouse, Alvvays, Ex-Hex, Speedy Ortiz, The Good Life among Maha 2015 lineup; Live Review: Peach Kelli Pop, BUHU\u2026\nCategory: Reviews \u2014 Tags: BUHU, Maha Music Festival 2015, Peach Kelli Pop \u2014 @ 1:13 pm April 13, 2015\nThe Maha Festival line-up was announced last night, and it\u2019s a doozy\u2026\nBy now you\u2019ve heard the line-up for the 2015 Maha Music Festival, which is being held Aug. 15 in Stinson Park at Aksarben Village. If somehow you\u2019ve missed it, here it is again:\nTheir best line-up ever? Maybe, maybe\u2026 Modest Mouse was the first name I\u2019d heard from this line-up prior to the announcement, and my reaction was, meh. I\u2019ve seen them live and they\u2019re less than interesting, to say the least. It\u2019s hard to undersell the impact of their album The Lonesome Crowded West, which was groundbreaking at the time of its release in 1997. They\u2019ve had more commercial success with later albums, but never reached the level or arcane creative madness/genius heard on that \u201997 album, and likely won\u2019t again. On stage, they pretty much stand around and play their songs.\nSo no, I wasn\u2019t exactly tapping my heels with joy when I heard they were the headliner, even though I knew their booking would sell a lot of tickets. Neither did I understand why Maha booked The Jayhawks, a band that is legendary in its failure to draw a crowd in Omaha. Does anyone remember who these guys are? Obviously someone associated with Maha does.\nAtmosphere has a big following in Omaha. Their style of hip-hop just ain\u2019t my thing.\nSo those were the only bands I heard were booked for Maha until a couple weeks ago. Then the floodgates opened.\nUnless you wanted to arrive an hour before the show or wait in line forever you weren\u2019t going to see Alvvays at South By Southwest this year. The band was a \u201cmust see\u201d act, thanks to their 2014 debut album, which is somewhat awesome. Alvvays is the band I\u2019m most looking forward to seeing at this year\u2019s Maha festival.\nBut coming up right behind them is Speedy Ortiz (who I did manage to see in Austin this year), Ex-Hex (featuring Mary Timony of Helium, and whose last album is a Pitchfork favorite), the electronic kaleidoscope of Purity Ring (not exactly dynamic live when I saw them a few years ago, but a departure for this festival), and Tim Kasher\u2019s pop band The Good Life (anytime you can get Kasher on your stage, you\u2019ve won).\nI tip my hat to Wavves. They outshined Best Coast when they opened for them at The Waiting Room back in 2011. Wavves is the closest thing to garage rock you\u2019re going to get at this year\u2019s Maha.\nAs for the three locals who fill out the balance of the bill, well I haven\u2019t seen or heard any of them, though I\u2019m familiar with AYGAMG\u2019s recorded stuff.\nPound-for-pound, Maha has a more attractive line-up than Des Moines\u2019 80/35 Festival, despite having half as many bands on the bill \u2014 which is perhaps as good an argument as any to keep Maha to one day (though I still think they should put on a concert somewhere the evening before).\nLooking back at my comments, last year\u2019s festival drew 7,000. Will they beat that number with this offering? Ironically, Death Cab for Cutie (who headlined last year\u2019s) would probably draw better this year because they just released a new record. That said, Death Cab vs. Modest Mouse is probably a wash in terms of draw.\nThis year has a better undercard than last year\u2019s Doomtree/Radkey/Local Natives/Head and the Heart combination. From a legacy-band perspective, Aimee Mann/Ted Leo is a teensy bit more well known than The Jayhawks. And it will be hard to beat last year\u2019s local stage offering (Icky Blossoms/Domestica/Whipkey/M34n Str33t/Envy Corp (who I consider local), which was as good as it gets.\nWhat I said after last year\u2019s festival applies again this year: \u201cFor every person I talked to who loved the line-up there was someone who whined about the line-up. Maha will never be all things to all people, nor should it be.\u201d\nTo me, Maha has remained consistent in its mission (as I understand it), which is to put together one of the best indie concerts in the region. The operative word here is \u201cindie\u201d \u2014 not garage, not heavy metal, not punk, not C&W, not pop. If indie was their target, they\u2019ve scored a direct hit. Just remember, indie is a sub-genre with a limited audience. Maha may never exceed that coveted 10,000 threshold as long as they stay as a one-day festival\u2026\nBUHU at O\u2019Leaver\u2019s April 10, 2015.\nSpeaking of rock shows, there was a nice one at O\u2019Leaver\u2019s last Friday night. Austin band BUHU was a two-man crew featuring one guy on synths and the other on guitar and vocals, creating a catchy post-wave music, thanks in part to great programming and to the lead guy\u2019s sweet vocals. Fun stuff.\nPeach Kelli Pop at O\u2019Leaver\u2019s April 10, 2015.\nBUHU was followed by the all-female power-garage sound of Peach Kelli Pop. It is, no doubt, sexist to call this band an \u201call-female group\u201d (why not refer to BUHU as an \u201call-male group\u201d?). That said, the band epitomized the best parts of a long history of all-female punk rock bands. I loved their style, their sound, their energy. I\u2019ll have a snippet of their music in this week\u2019s podcast, online Wednesday.",

        "raw_content": "It's cold, but baseball is in the 'WORKS'\nThe ground may be frozen and covered in snow, but beneath all that ice is a baseball field waiting for some sun and some players, and it won\u2019t be long before we have both.\nWORKS Little League is currently holding open registrations for the 2018 season, a local tradition for young boys and girls stretching back to the 1950s. Formerly known as Rich-Haven, WORKS stands for Woodhaven, Ozone Park, Richmond Hill, Kew Gardens and South Ozone Park.\nWORKS will be holding registration at 84-01 Jamaica Avenue (on the 2nd Floor above the bank at the corner of Forest Parkway) on January 11, 12, 19 and 25 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.\nIf you have questions, you can contact someone from WORKS Little League at (718) 847-9633, (646) 522-3526 or workslittleleague@aol.com. You can also find out more information at eteamz.com/works, or if you are on Facebook, you can search for WORKS Little League.\nTeams are available for boys and girls from four to 16 years old. There is also a girls\u2019 softball division and the Challenger Division for children with special needs. The registration fee is $110 ($75 per family for the Challenger Division) and includes the uniform and hat.\nTo be eligible, your child must legally reside in the following zip codes: 11415, 11416 and 11417 (east of Cross Bay Boulevard), 11418, 11419, 11420, and 11421. A copy of the child\u2019s birth certificate and a copy of proof of residency that shows the zip code are required.\nAlthough it might not look like it outside your window, baseball season is lurking right around the corner. The first pitch is thrown at the beginning of April, just over 75 days away.\nWhen your child becomes a member of WORKS Little League they will be able to take part in Team Picture Day, which is usually in March. This is a hugely popular event where the young ballplayers get to pose with their team, or take individual pictures that can be printed on collectible items, such as baseball cards.\nAnd the big annual WORKS Little League Parade will be on a Saturday in April. Hundreds of players, coaches and parents will march down Jamaica Avenue and up Forest Parkway to the Forest Park Bandshell.\nIt is all part of the wonderful experience of playing in a team sport in your community that so many of us grew up with.\nOver the past few years, I have gotten so many questions from parents looking to sign up their little boy or girl for baseball, yet those questions always seem to come when the season is almost over. The thing parents need to realize is that the season doesn\u2019t start in May or June, the start is right around the corner!\nBesides the obvious benefits of exercise, playing in organized ball teaches your child the value of teamwork and working together with others. Through WORKS Little League they will make friends and enjoy experiences that they will remember for the rest of their lives.\nIf one doubts that, just ask anyone who played in Little League as a child. Even an old-timer such as myself can remember in great detail the parades, the sunny days on the ball field in Forest Park, and the kids I played alongside, some of whom I still call friends these many decades later.\nWORKS Little League has thrived for over a half-century because of strong local sponsorship and because of active parent participation. Additional sponsorship is always appreciated. Contact the league if your business is interested in sponsoring a team. Your business name will be proudly displayed on your team\u2019s hat the entire year.\nAs for parent participation, unfortunately that has been in slow decline over the years. So if you are interested in coaching your child\u2019s team, you will find very willing partners in WORKS Little League.\nSo to all potential players, coaches and sponsors, don\u2019t pay attention to the frost on the grass because there are sunny days ahead, and they\u2019ll soon be filled by the crack of a baseball bat and the chatter of young ballplayers. Don\u2019t get caught on the sidelines. Play ball!",

Out of the box, you can stream your own local content from a PC. It ties into Apple\u2019s iTunes ecosystem for movie/TV rentals and purchases. And the third-generation Apple TV has a large number of built-in channels, while the fourth-generation has a vibrant app store full of third-party apps that provide access to a wide range of content.\nFor several years now, I\u2019ve had two third-generation Apple TVs, one for each TV. I finally decided it was time to replace one of them with a new fourth-generation Apple TV \u2014 Persephone \u2014 and pass my older one \u2014 Beauregard \u2014 onto my parents.\nSo far, I like it a lot. It can do everything I could with my previous Apple TV, but with lots of new apps available (particularly, Plex and games). Even though I predominately use a Logitech Harmony remote, I do also find the Siri Remote pretty interesting and well-designed, particularly the ability to search for content across all of your apps.\nPosted in Beauregard Persephone by Greg Leedberg No Comments Yet",

        "raw_content": "Do Physicians Make the Best Entrepreneurs?\nStartups founded by physicians make uniquely important contributions to medical device development, according to a recent study published in the May edition of Medical Care.\nBefore reading too far into the study results, it\u2019s important to note that study talks about specific kinds of contributions to medicine. They relate to Class III medical devices, which are devices that support or sustain human life and require significant testing to prove their safety and efficacy.\nThe study, from Temple University researchers, analyzed premarket approval applications (PMAs) to look for ideas that came from physician-founded startups and non physician-founded startups. The researchers analyzed 170 PMAs filed by Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Boston Scientific, and Guidant between 1978 and 2007.\nSheryl Winston Smith, PhD, and Andrew Sfekas, PhD, used a text-matching algorithm to compare content in the PMAs to content from 118 startup patent applications. These startups had at some point received investments from one of the four major medical device companies. Startups from both groups produced roughly the same number of patents. However, the PMAs contained more ideas from physician-founded startups. These companies contributed about 11% of the content to the total body of PMAs analyzed, while non physician-founded startups contributed 4%.\nThe study concluded that \u201cdevice manufacturers gain more from the patents of physician-founded firms than from those of non-physician-founded firms in their subsequent invention and innovation efforts,\u201d a press release said.\nIt isn\u2019t surprising that physicians make good entrepreneurs, as they have a few things in common with life long entrepreneurs. For one, both possess a certain kind of drive. Also, as Northwestern University\u2019s Kellogg School of Management Professor David Dranove said in a recent blog post, physicians aren\u2019t risk-averse. \u201cLike entrepreneurs, physicians launch their careers by making large investments \u2014 up to ten years of post-graduate training. Such investments do not come with a guarantee,\u201d he wrote.\nIt would be interesting to see a similar analysis applied to devices subject to Class I requirements, a category that several mobile medical applications fall into.",

Arbitration: legal representation.\nExisting law, until January 1, 2013, permits persons admitted to the bar of any other state to represent a party in an arbitration proceeding in this state, or to render legal services in this state in connection with an arbitration proceeding in another state. Existing law requires those out-of-state attorneys to serve upon the arbitrator, the parties, the State Bar of California, and counsel, a certificate containing specified information within a reasonable period of time after the attorney expresses his or her intent to appear in an arbitration.\nThis bill would delete the repeal date of January 1, 2013, thereby making these provisions operative indefinitely.

        "raw_content": "Joe Randazzo of Phil\u2019s Barber Shop looks to bring men into the modern age of grooming at his old-school shop.\nText by Harrison Patino\nWalking inside Phil\u2019s Barber Shop, a cozy, 300-square-foot space tucked away in J Salon in the Honolulu neighborhood of Kaka\u2018ako, feels like stepping back in time. A record player fills the room with the crackling croons of Frank Sinatra, and the scents of talcum powder and aftershave linger in the air. The walls are adorned with old pomade advertisements, haircut charts from the 1950s, and other vintage haircutting memorabilia\u2014including a framed pair of scissors and a straight razor that belonged to Phil Marsala, the shop\u2019s namesake and owner Joe Randazzo\u2019s Sicilian grandfather.\n\u201cThose scissors were sitting in my mom\u2019s drawer since I was a child,\u201d Randazzo says. \u201cI remember seeing them and thinking, \u2018What is this rusty old piece of junk?\u2019\u201d\nWhen Randazzo was a child in Chicago, he certainly didn\u2019t think that working with hair would be his calling. \u201cMy mom would take me to the barber when I was a kid,\u201d Randazzo recalls. \u201cI used to cry because he used a razor, and it hurt.\u201d This aversion was assuaged when he started to accompany his sister on her hair appointments at a Vidal Sassoon salon in Chicago. \u201cI was inspired,\u201d he says. \u201cI knew that was where I belonged.\u201d\nRandazzo started styling hair in 1981, where he was an assistant, stylist, and eventually, an art director for Vidal Sassoon in Chicago. Since then, he\u2019s had a storied career that has seen him cutting hair in Tokyo, Hamburg, Berlin, and New York. He moved to Honolulu in 1999 for, among other things, the warmer weather.\nBut it was only recently that Randazzo was able to combine his passion for haircutting with his reverence for old-school barbers like his grandfather, with the opening of Phil\u2019s Barber Shop. \u201cHis barbershop was where him and all the Italian guys would hang out in the neighborhood,\u201d Randazzo says. \u201cWe hope [Phil\u2019s] becomes more of the gathering place.\u201d\nPhil\u2019s Barber Shop handsomely contrasts the minimalistic design and sleek feel that characterizes J Salon. Offering shaves, cuts, and trims in the vein of the classic barbershop model, Randazzo caters to Honolulu\u2019s style-conscious men looking for a classic, refined look. \u201cWe\u2019ve created an environment,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a place where guys can come and feel comfortable.\u201d And look dapper, of course.\nPhil\u2019s Barber Shop is located within J Salon at 210 Ward Ave. #101 in Honolulu.

        "raw_content": "November is the month when the Federation of Children\u2019s Book Groups celebrates non-fiction.\nTo celebrate, I am focusing on Big Picture Press\u2019 superb large format Welcome to the Museum series. The series comprises at the moment of three books, Animalium, Historium and Story of Life. In the new age of the highly illustrated non-fiction book, these are part of a few who lead the way.\nCompendiums are fascinating; there is so much to look at, and always something new to notice and these are the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me. Animalium, the first in the series, introduces readers to over 160 creatures from the animal kingdom. The artwork, curated by Katie Scott, is reminiscent of old natural history illustrated plates and teamed with the off-white paper, the effect is rather wonderful.\nStory of Life, the latest title, also illustrated by Katie Scott, opens concertina-style to reveal on one side over eighty creatures from land, sea and sky which illustrate how evolution works. The other side includes facts to accompany the illustrations.\nHistorium was the second title published and focuses on archaeological finds from ancient civilisations and includes more than 130 artefacts. The artwork by Richard Wilkinson is so incredibly detailed that it sometimes looks like photographs, and again reminiscent of old museum plates, giving the reader the feeling that he is tiptoeing from one museum room to another. There is plenty of textual information too.\nLooking through these books is like admiring three cabinets of curiosities. Though the level of text makes them better suited for 9+, younger children will find much pleasure in poring over the artwork. They make rather wonderful \u2018coffee table\u2019 books too.\nI am delighted that Richard agreed to answer a few questions to enlighten us about the process of creating Historium.\nA Q & A with Richard Wilkinson\nWinnie D\u2019Abreu, the art director on the project contacted me out of the blue! I have done a couple of books before but nothing of this scale. Katie Haworth \u2013 the editor \u2013 is a real history and archaeology fanatic and I believe the initial idea for the book was hers.\nHow was it decided what would be included (and indeed excluded) in the book?\nIt was actually a very delicate process. Katie and Winnie and the researchers had to be very careful with the selection as, although many of the artefacts are thousands of years old, they still have huge cultural and sometimes religious resonance today. There was also an effort to cover many of the well-known civilisations and era (as well as some less well-known) but to somewhat avoid their \u2018blockbuster\u2019 items. There\u2019s so much fascinating archaeology presented in museums around the world so we wanted to introduce the young readers to some less well-known items.\nThe format of the Welcome To The Museum series is unusually large; is it an advantage or a hindrance when you are drawing?\nBoth! It\u2019s a dream, as an illustrator, to have such a large and impressive format to work within but the pressure was definitely on me to create images that deserved such scale!\nThere must have been hours of research involved before you drew the artefacts. How did you conduct your research?\nThere was quite a lot, yes! \u2013 but I would have happily done more. Getting to know the subject is a part of the process I really enjoy. Unfortunately we didn\u2019t have the time (or indeed the budget!) for me to visit the artefacts in place in each museum throughout the world \u2013 how I would have loved to, though! There was a lot of internet research involved. I try to find as many images of each item as possible so I have as full an understanding of its form, texture and colour as possible without seeing it in person.\nHistorium is all about artefacts from Ancient Worlds. If you could illustrate artefacts from any era and/or country, what would it be?\nI think I was most fascinated by the artefacts from The Middle East. The area has such an incredible wealth of history and so much of it is familiar to us from religious texts. But it seems so fantastical and mythical to me\u2026 real \u2018Indiana Jones\u2019 stuff! I\u2019d love to explore that region further.\nMany thanks Richard, what an interesting insight!\nHistorium is published by Big Picture Press and is out now. You can purchase it here.\nHistorium trailer debuts!",

        "raw_content": "Back in April, I went to St. John\u2019s for the Juno Awards weekend. Weather was the theme of the weekend. Flying there, we got caught in Halifax for twenty-four hours due to the bad weather in St. John\u2019s. When we finally arrived in Newfoundland, the skies were grey but at least We.Had.Arrived. (Honestly, I expected rain and grey in St. John\u2019s \u2013 isn\u2019t that what this province is all about?!). Flying home, the weather drama was the possibility of volcanic ash in the airspace coming from Iceland. It was the talk of the Sunday night which was the actual Junos night. Certain musicians actually left St. John\u2019s early in fear of being stuck for a few days. I was worried since I had to get out of the city on the Monday as I had a flight on the Tuesday morning to Mexico City (terrible travel planning on my behalf). Needless to say, my flight home worked out perfectly. Volcanic ash?! No ways, jose. And those who left early missed a killer party put on by Warner Music.\nI loved St. John\u2019s. I loved the people there. The atmosphere. The wildness of George Street. The rock. The textures. I cannot wait to go back. (Also, hello St. John\u2019s brides \u2013 I would love to shoot your wedding there!)\nBeing there during the weekend of the Junos no doubt gave the city a different vibe but I am sure that the friendliness of the locals is totally normal. Junofest was a great way to see live music and check out the local venues. We saw Hollerado and Arkells at Junctions but my favourite show was probably seeing Amy Millan, backed by the boys of Hey Rosetta, play at the Ship. The Ship almost had the vibe of a small Horseshoe Tavern so I felt at home. The stage was also teeny tiny so I felt like I was almost invading Amy\u2019s space (sorry about that!).\nThe jellybean houses of St. John\u2019s are famous in this city. They are gorgeous. I do not know how the neighbours plan what colour each house will be but they match perfectly. My friend Alison and her parents drove me around to find the perfect jellybean houses. It was a very comical car ride to say the least (I <heart> you guys!). The photo above on the left was taken at The Sprout. I probably could have sat there all day and drank coffee while creeping on those passing by the window.\nSignal Hill is normally a great spot to go to see the entirety of St. John\u2019s. I say normally because when I went, you could basically only see about ten feet in front of you thanks to the thick fog. Also, it is a steep drive up and when we were coming down, there was a man on a unicycle making his way up. I am not kidding.\nQuidi Vidi is a cute place just outside of St. John\u2019s where you can actually climb on the rocks. It used to be a fishing village but now there are quite big and fancy houses along the shore. There is also a brewery here where you can have lunch and, uh, buy beer. \ud83d\ude42 What I really wanted to do here was photograph a bride lying down on the cliffs.\nI think that my favourite place that I visited was Cape Spear. To me it just seemed like a magical place. It is the easternmost point in North America so that is what makes it special. The colours of the rock and the grasses in that area literally blew me away. I was determined to see a whale here but the fog was super thick so I quickly gave up on that idea.\nI had the best fish & chips that I have had to date while in St. John\u2019s. (Well maybe the second best \u2013 the first being the fish & chips that I ate in Southwold, Suffolk in the UK \u2013 it was wrapped in newspaper and we ate it sitting in the car on a pier. Seagulls were literally floating at the windows trying to get our scraps.) The place with the great fish & chips is called By Da Beach in St. Phillips. The fish was delicious and the batter was not greasy.\nA couple of other things about St. John\u2019s:\n1) I had a really awesome dinner at The Casbah. The food was super and the overall atmosphere is pretty cool. It is slightly romantic so bring a date.\n2) There is a great store downtown called Model Citizens. I got a cute jacket there and also a fab necklace that was designed by local artist. The store owner told us proudly how Jeanne Beker had been in the day before. Cute.\n3) You may never see more drunk people in your life than on George Street (besides in Melbourne at Melbourne Cup). People were literally falling down on the streets (because you can drink on that street). I was blown away and amazed.\n4) There are, in fact, Newfoundland dogs everywhere in St. John\u2019s. Alison would tell me that it is just a coincidence that I saw so many there while I was visiting but I feel I saw too many of this breed to make it one. At one point we had to stop to the car to allow a woman to cross the street while walking THREE of them.\n5) People in St. John\u2019s do not use umbrellas or cross the street at crosswalks. It is easy to be spotted as a tourist if you do either of these things.\n6) You need to be screeched in if you go to Newfoundland. This is when you do a shot of Screech, kiss a cod and then say something in Newfie (Ali, can you remind me what this is?). I, unfortunately, was not able to get screeched in whilst in St. John\u2019s. But this just means that I have to go back for another visit. Yes, please.\nJessica Blaine Smith Newfoundland St. John's visiting St. John's\n0 Replies to \u201cSt. John\u2019s, Newfoundland\u201d\nbearrunner says:\tReply\nThe pictures look lovely..

        "raw_content": "\u00ab \u201cZero Dark Thirty\u201d Movie Review\n\u201cThe Impossible\u201d Movie Review \u00bb\nAng Lee\u2019s \u201cLife of Pi\u201d is a brilliant exercise in creative filmmaking and quite worthy of all the praise the film has received thus far. Just as he did with \u201cCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon\u201d, Lee successfully creates what feels like a parallel world. One which we know can\u2019t be real and really doesn\u2019t feel real, yet we as an audience buy into it. It\u2019s quite a hypnotic experience if you will. Based on the novel by Yann Martel, the consensus was the material was not a viable source for a film. It was said there wasn\u2019t enough of a screen story when the primary characters are an Indian boy and a Bengal tiger who are stranded at sea in a life boat. As it turns out, this story was quite a sprawling canvas for Lee and his creative team. All of the elements for a great film are here and I would expect \u201cLife of Pi\u201d to be a serious awards contender come the Oscar ceremony.\nWe first meet Pi (Irrfan Knan) as a grown adult. He is meeting with a writer who intends on turning his experiences into a book. Lee structures the film as a series of flashbacks, which are at times narrated by the present day Pi. We learn Pi was part of a family who owned a zoo in India and this meant many unique experiences with the animals they cared for. Lee spends the first half hour of the film switching between present day and various points of Pi\u2019s early child hood. This is important since many of the lessons learned will become useful in the future and tie directly into the plot of the story. When Pi is a teenager (now played by first time actor Suraj Sharma), the family decides they have to leave India to survive financially. We are told the property belongs to someone else, but the animals belong to the family and thus, they charter a Japanese ship headed to Canada with the family and animals in tow.\nWhen the ship runs into a massive storm in the middle of the ocean, Pi is sent to a life boat in a chaotic sequence in which animals who have become loose jump from the ship\u2019s deck into the lowering life boat in pure desperation to survive. Pi, who was on the deck when the storm takes a turn for the worst, is unable to get back to his family, who were sleeping in their cabin. As Pi is thrust away by crashing waves, he witnesses the ship sink and his Mother, Father, and Brother with it. This harrowing depiction is just the beginning of some outstanding effects work by Lee and his team.\nSoon, Pi awakens and finds himself on the life boat with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena, and an all too familiar Bengal tiger named Richard Parker in an obvious situation of survival of the fittest, at least initially. The food chain runs its course, leaving Pi and the tiger alone. Pi shows a tremendous amount of ingenuity with what\u2019s on board the boat by constructing a series of rafts that float along side and out of the tiger\u2019s reach. In the beginning, he\u2019s well hydrated and well fed from the large supply of rations on the boat and he also takes the advice of the handy survival book he finds that teaches him to build a sail, an anchor, and other useful devices.\nUnfortunately, time and weather decimate his supplies and he fears Richard Parker will soon have no choice but to feed on him. I\u2019ve read Richard Parker is at times a real tiger and others he is a CGI creation. Either way, the effects are seamless and allow Sharma to appear to co-exist with the tiger in a way that always looks real. As a screen presence, Richard Parker is a fearsome creature and his movements, reflexes, and roar are awe inspiring. In addition, Lee populates his setting with a plethora of sea life, each having its own grand entrance of sorts in specially formulated shots that take advantage of the time of day, as well as the lighting. This is where the film truly succeeds in a visual sense as the cinematography is a thing of beauty and Lee\u2019s use of 3D is easily the best since films like \u201cHugo\u201d and \u201cAvatar\u201d. In one sequence, thousands of jellyfish light up the ocean to grand effect only to introduce a giant whale that jumps out of and back into the ocean. It is a scene to marvel and will lightly put \u201cLife of Pi\u201d in the forefront of the competition for technical awards.\nLike all good films, \u201cLife of Pi\u201d asks some interesting questions and has several nifty twists within the story. After the bulk of the stranded at sea portion plays out, we are returned back to present day where the adult Pi tells the story of the day the Japanese investigators interviewed him in the hospital about the sunken ship. When he tells them the story as we have just seen, they don\u2019t believe him and ask for the truth. Pi then proceeds to tell essentially the same story, but instead each animal is a human character from the ship and he is Richard Parker. Does this mean what we saw was just Pi\u2019s way of dealing with the pain of a brutal survival story involving humans killing humans on the life boat? Which of course means as Richard Parker, he was forced to do the same to defend himself, likely leaving him with tremendous guilt. Perhaps the story with the animals helps him justify his actions in his own mind since in those situations its possible humans would have no choice but to become primal in order to survive. In the end, we\u2019re left with the adult Pi telling the writer \u201cWhat story do you think sounds better?\u201d, and I think both would choose the magical story Lee tells on screen.\n\u201cLife of Pi\u201d is one of the best films of the year with it\u2019s astounding visual style and solid acting from the entire cast. David Magee\u2019s adaptation for the screen is Oscar worthy just for the simple fact it was said it could not be done. No surprise here Lee found a way as he is one of the best visionary filmmakers of our time. GRADE: A",

        "raw_content": "Seeking the Blog\u2019s Next Editor\nBy RICHARD G. JONES\nShawn Hoke\nThis blog began with an invitation. From our very first post, The Local has sought to bring our neighbors in the East Village into the process of producing news and telling their own stories about their community.\nRecently, The Local quietly marked six months of publication and while the wonderful experiment that it represents will continue, my time running the site is coming to an end. In August, after what will have been 20 months of planning, developing and publishing The Local, I will step down to pursue other ventures and to devote more time to completing my doctoral dissertation.\nToday, NYU is opening the search for the next editor of The Local. Whoever gets the job will be stepping into a position that is exciting, challenging and rewarding and one that is very much helping to drive the industry-wide conversation about digital storytelling, hyperlocal news and the future of pro-am journalism partnerships.\nIn addition to working with the blog, the editor also serves as a visiting assistant professor at NYU\u2019s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute and is responsible for teaching one class, The Hyperlocal Newsroom, per term in the fall and spring.\nThe editorship is a year-round position that also involves working with students and faculty on the project; supervising summer graduate interns and part-time and freelance staff.\nThe successful candidate will be well-versed in WordPress, Web and blog culture, and in serving the needs of a growing, ambitious community site with the twin goals of 50 percent community authorship and a leadership role as innovator in the hyperlocal space. The ideal candidate already lives in the East Village or vicinity or is willing to relocate to accept the post. The start date is August 1. Cover letters and resumes or c.v.\u2019s should be sent to leveditor@gmail.com. The job posting with full details can be found here.\nI expect that I will be saying the words \u201cthank you\u201d a lot during the next few months as I express my gratitude to everyone who has helped this experience become one of the highlights of my career.\nBut a few acknowledgements are in order right now.\nI must thank my good colleagues on the faculty of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, especially Brooke Kroeger, the Institute\u2019s director, and Jay Rosen, whose shared vision played a crucial role in the creation of the blog. I would also be remiss if I did not acknowledge the professors of the Hyperlocal Newsroom, Yvonne Latty, Mary Quigley and Darragh Worland.\nI am immensely grateful for the help of Kim Davis, the blog\u2019s associate editor and its founding community editor, and Colin Moynihan, who also held the post.\nThe assistance of Mary Ann Giordano, a deputy metropolitan editor at The Times, and Jim Schachter, an associate managing editor, has been invaluable during these past few months.\nI also owe a debt to my colleagues at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland where I am a doctoral student. I am grateful to the entire faculty and staff \u2014 especially Kevin Klose, the dean of the College, and Linda Steiner, the director of the doctoral program \u2014 for their patience, guidance and support.\nAnd I am most thankful for the generosity, energy and vision of the NYU students and community contributors who share their talents with the blog.\nAnd there\u2019s room for more of you. The invitation that we put forth with that very first post still stands. We\u2019re eager to add your voices to those on the site and in my remaining weeks and months with the blog I am committed to building on the work that we\u2019ve begun and finding more ways to open wider the doors of the blog to you, our neighbors.\nAbout The Local, \"eastvillage\", \"richard g. jones\", Arthur L.

        "raw_content": "Herbie Hancock - River: The Joni Letters\nPianist Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters is the eleventh Grammy-winning album in the legendary musician's diverse and long-ranging career. It was a shock to the pop music world for what is essentially a jazz album to win over the recordings of typical pop/rock stars, but the music on River represents a high level of sophistication and craftsmanship while remaining accessible and enjoyable to the masses.\nRiver is a tribute to Joni Mitchell, whose pure voice and colorful lyrics lifted her to iconic status in American folk and popular music. In the 1970s, Mitchell began to experiment with jazz concepts, featuring the drums and accompanying instruments like trumpets and saxophones, and singing over grooves with jazz rhythmic feels. Each track on River is a contemplative interpretation of some of Joni Mitchell's jazz-influenced songs and features such classics as \"Both Sides Now\" and \"Court and Spark\". The album features a host of great talented singers such as Norah Jones, Tina Turner and even Joni makes an appearance.\nMy review of the sonic attributes of this recording refers to the 24 bit 96 khz digital file downloaded from HDtracks.com.\nMy favorite track on this album is \"Both Sides Now\". It seems to set the album's elegant spirit and sound. It opens with Herbie playing solo piano. His ten foot Steinway materializes into the room and sounds to scale with just a hint of sparkle just as a Steinway should. Bass and drums come into the mix a minute or so into the track. Dave Holland's bass is big, full and rich and portrays a sense of woodiness that is often lacking in acoustic bass recordings. Drums are crisp and cymbals have a natural metallic shimmer to them. \"Both Sides Now\" is one of my \"go to\" tracks. It's one of those tracks where everything comes together, great recording, fabulous playing and wonderful music and although it originally had lyrics, this instrumental version doesn't need them.\nNot all the tracks are instrumental and several prominent singers make appearances including Joni herself. The opening track, \"Court and Spark\", begins in a somewhat abstract mode, but ultimately settles into a soft groove for Norah Jones'. Her voice is beautifully present and somewhat relaxed. The recording is a lot like her debut studio album, Come Away With Me that made her so popular with audiophiles and music lovers alike.\nTina Turner follows Norah Jones with a reserved performance on \"Edith and the Kingpin,\" from the highly acclaimed Joni Mitchel album The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Corinne Bailey Rae turns in a sweet and soulful \"river\".\nTwo non-Mitchell instrumentals-Duke Ellington's classic \"Solitude\" and Shorter's \"Nefertiti\"-really builds a bridge between Mitchell and the jazz world. \"Nefertiti\" is especially notable. The original, mid-1960s Miles Davis Quintet version was vibrant but on this version drummer Wayne Shorter plays more intuitively and lets Hancock take the lead on the tune's improvisational core. Once again the sound is impeccable and recorded so that the listener can easily pick out whatever instrument they like from the layers of sound.\nThe album closes with Leonard Cohen handling the vocal on \"The Jungle Line\". Cohen is more speaking than singing but being more of a poet he makes it work. Cohen's voice is deep and recorded to emphasize the chestiness and velvet gravel of his voice. Hancock and Cohen create a beautiful counterpoint that takes \"The Jungle Line\" to a new and higher level and establishes an unmistakable debt to Joni Mitchell. I highly recommend this recording for both it's superb recording and wonderful musical arrangements.\nReview By - David Jensen",

This is raising several issues including copyright, quality and trustworthiness, stability, governance, and standards.\nFor-Profit, Consortia and Networks, Publishing\nElsevier's Smart Content initiative is continuing a program of utilizing linked data principles for Elsevier publications, content, and online delivery systems in a way that will make Elsevier a significant provider of linked data to support scholarly communication on the Web. Likewise, we are currently working with publishers to design prototypes and pilots for applications to consume open datasets to create new types of discovery experiences for our audience. In addition, we are consortium partners for the LinkedUp Project (http://linkedup-project.eu/) which is sponsoring an open competition to \"push forward the exploitation of the vast amounts of public, open data available on the Web, in particular by educational institutions and organizations.\"\nElsevier Labs",

        "title": "FREE Cherokee Indains Essay",
        "raw_content": "One f the most well known Native American tribes is the Cherokee. Most non-full bloods claiming to be Indian are Cherokee. The Cherokee tribe is the largest Native American tribe. In the O1770 the tried had a membership of around 12,000 (Ehle, 1955:7). When the tribe began its journey to Indian Territory there was roughly eighteen thousand members (Ellis,199:3). Along the harsh journey from Alabama, Tennessee, and North Carolina four thousand Cherokees died (Ellis, 1991:3). This long journey of the winter of 1832 has become known as the Trail of Tears. There term \"Trail of Tears\" is from the Cherokee language, nuna dat suhn\"yi, simply means \"the trail where they cried\" (Holm, 1976:60).\nThe journey of the Cherokee tribe is not presently illustrated to its fulfillment. First off for example the tribe, which for the most part was not nomadic, began its journey in the middle of winter. The entire tribe was traveling in a larger group by foot that means women, children, and the elderly were all taken from a land they could go without a great deal of clothing or shoes in the dead of winter to a much colder and unfamiliar area. These conditions are indescribable to those of us who enjoy the comities of today's world.\nI recently began reading a wonderful book by Jerry Ellis called Walking the Trail. Ellis, a Cherokee descent, took on the challenge of waking the actual journey of the Cherokees relocation to Indian Territory. Ellis brings to light the unthinkable ideas of how the trip in the winter or 1832 would have been like. He points out the unprepared supply of food, shelter, and water as obstacles to be dealt with on a day-to-day basis. The Cherokee people are truly remarkable in the fact they came to Indian Territory and made a productive life for themselves.\nThe numbers of tribe members grew after the Cherokee's resettlement in Indian Territory due to the large number of Cherokees who married whites.\nEssays Related to Cherokee Indains\nIt is Cherokee belief that at first there was only a brother and a sister. ... The center of the Cherokee nation was Kituhwa, near Bryson City, NC, so the Cherokee Indians were often referred to as Ani-Kituhwagi, which meant \"the people of Kituhwa\". The Cherokee Indains are a branch of the Iroquois nation. ... Customs Lifestyles It is customary for Cherokee Indains to wake up and thank \"the Creator, to the four directions, to Mother Earth, to Father Sky, and to all of our relations, for the life within you and for all life around you\". ... Cherokee chanting comes from the slaying of Ston...",

        "title": "Air Travel \u2013 Many Things Considered",
        "raw_content": "Air Travel, Food, France, Simpson, Travel, Vietnam\nFourth in a series from Europe\u2026\n[Milan] \u2013 Over the weekend the newspapers in France were reporting on one of the worst national rail strikes in memory. The strike was precipitated, it was reported, by a more radical element in the rail union that distrusts the \u201creform agenda\u201d of the Socialist government of the wimpy President Francois Hollande. You may recall that he\u2019s the guy who reportedly snuck out of the Elysee Palace on a motor scooter a while back to have a tryst with his actress girl friend. Meanwhile the very beautiful and talented \u201cfirst lady of France,\u201d to whom Hollande was not married, ended up in hospital \u2013 I like how the French say \u201cin hospital\u201d \u2013 as a result of the president\u2019s boorish behavior, which of course was spread all over the papers.\nBut enough, I\u2019m letting French politics and sex get me away from the rail strike.\nTo put all this an American context, the dispute in France between the radical element in the rail union and the left-wing government would be a little like the ultra-right wing Tea Party in the United States deciding that the very conservative House majority leader was so much of a political squish that he needed to be sacked in a primary election. Radicals around the world simply don\u2019t put up with their own who are just not radical enough.\nGive them this much \u2013 the striking French rail workers picked a dandy time to strike. Not only is the tourist season gaining full strength, but this is the period in France when many students need to travel for final exams. The strike was, how you say, timed for maximum impact.\nIn any event, the French rail strike reminds me of two things one should never underestimate: the unpredictable nature of travel, perhaps particularly in France, and the absurd nature of most discount airline travel, as opposed to rail travel, these days. In fact, I have an alternative explanation for the chaos that spread rapidly across France as a result of the rail strike, but more on that in a moment.\nI have been climbing on and off of airplanes on a regular basis now for more than 30 years. I belong to a half-dozen frequent flyer clubs and pride myself on knowing my way around airports from Montevideo to Heathrow, from Portland to Milan. I long ago gave up the anger that almost everyone feels when a flight is cancelled or a connection is missed because fog has grounded everything in the Pacific Northwest. I never worry about lost luggage because I never check a bag, even on an international flight. I\u2019m of the school that says travel disruption is as common as political dysfunction and any one of us is just about powerless to affect better outcomes when the travel gods decide this is your day.\nSo, my mantra \u2013 in travel and politics \u2013 is to try and remain relentlessly optimistic. What else can you do? Turn off the outrage, have a beer and chill.\nI did have to invoke the relentless optimism mantra early Sunday when the big train schedule in Milan\u2019s Garibaldi rail station flashed \u201ccancelled\u201d next to the TGV to Paris. The French rail strike had struck the unsuspecting American.\nBy my best count I spent most of the rest of Sunday standing in 12 different lines often to be told when I reached the head of the line that I was in the wrong line and needed to go stand for a long time in the right line. Five lines later, and with the rail option from Milan to Paris no longer even as appealing as yesterday\u2019s cold pasta, I discovered easyJet.\nCan\u2019t take the train to Paris then why not fly? The British \u201cdiscount\u201d airline was offering flights from Milan to Paris, so what the heck \u2013 book it. While waiting for a train \u2013 the Italian trains were running \u2013 from downtown Milan to the distant Malpensa airport, I went online and found a flight, booked it, paid for it and started standing in line. Many airline analysts have compared easyJet \u2013 and, yes, that is how they spell it \u2013 to Southwest Airlines in the U.S. Low cost, no frills, we\u2019ll get you there with little fuss and bother\u2026except easyJet is Southwest with none of the charm or service.\nI\u2019ve been a fan of Southwest for a long time. Great customer service, good value, an airline with a sense of purpose and sense of humor. First thing to know about easyJet is you can\u2019t bring normal sized carry-on luggage onto one of the company\u2019s large Airbus aircraft. My no carry-on policy cost me 70 Euros, even though there was ample overhead bin space for those of us who \u201cnever\u201d check. I had to stand in three lines to figure out that checking my normal carry-on bag would cost me the equivalent of a good bottle of Champagne. Second thing to know is the Brit discounter wants you to interact with them almost exclusively on the Internet. There is no way in the airport to print a boarding pass. That\u2019s what your easyJet app is for, unless you stupidly neglect to check your normal carry on bags by using the easyJet app and find that when you get to the airport you need to, well, check your bag. That requires standing in a line and getting a form that says you need to check your bag and then going to another line and paying a fellow who is all too happy to take your 70 Euros for a bag that always fits in the overhead bin \u2013 except on easyJet.\nOnce on board my profitably packed easyJet flight to Paris I discovered that I was really inside a flying convenience store. Everything you can imagine was for sale. No free peanuts and a soft drink as on Southwest. On easyJet everything comes with a transaction of a few Euros. You can chose from the largest liquor selection this side of a Paris Hilton party, for a price. Want a sandwich? We have choices. How about some tea or coffee? Hand over the credit card. Some perfume perhaps for the little woman at home? Gotcha covered and we do take cash.\nThe easyJet business model is clearly to make you pay through the nose for taking two changes of underwear on your discount flight and, oh by the way, if you\u2019re thirsty that will cost you, too.\nI will say this for easyJet, whose CEO says in the most recent in-flight magazine that her focus is \u201con making travel easier for everyone,\u201d that the airline did get me Paris and on time and, not surprisingly, they are making money for shareholders while doing so. Standing in a dozen lines has nothing to do with making travel easier for anyone, but what the heck I got to Paris and today even thwarted the radical French rail unions by actually traveling by train during the strike! Take that you radicals.\nNow, back to my alternative theory about why the rail workers went on strike just when they did. As you know if you read an earlier post in this series, rail travel in Europe \u2013 notwithstanding the French troubles of the moment \u2013 is, in my view, a dream. Fast, clean, convenient, comfortable and affordable. Millions of French citizens and a few of us Americans were reminded this week, thanks to striking French railroad workers. that a train beats an airplane nearly every time. And, yes, carrying my bag on the train today didn\u2019t cost a thing.\nThank you easyJet for saving one leg of a wonderful trip. I hope to never darken your baggage line again.\nAir Travel, High Speed Rail, Ireland, Vietnam\nAir Worst\nPerhaps you are as confused as I am about the recent mixed messages from the federal government about cell phone use on airplanes. (I know, you\u2019re shocked that our government is sending mixed messages.)\nLet\u2019s just say this: I know what the policy should be \u2013 no cell phone calls on airplanes. None. Zilch.\nWith so very much glamor involved these days in hauling your body on to a Canadair regional jet \u2013 the planes with tiny overhead bins and a restroom right sized for the Munchkins from Oz \u2013 or spreading out in the sleek Airbus 310 with its expansive five inches of leg room (or less when the jerk in the row ahead of you insists on putting his seat all the way back) why risk diminishing the sophistication of modern air travel with something as crass as a public phone call originating from 11B?\nIf you have any doubt about how cell phones in the air might work just check out the boarding area for your next flight. The worst airport boarding area I know \u2013 west of Mogadishu \u2013 is the \u201cE\u201d concourse at Salt Lake City\u2019s airport. My frequent air travel companion has dubbed the area \u201cthe Gulag,\u201d as in the place were Stalin sent political prisoners to live out their days in mind-numbing discomfort, devoid of even a remnant of human dignity. If you hit the schedule just right in Salt Lake you might find a seat in this air travel prison camp, but if you do chances are that you\u2019ll be next to the kind of chatty fellow I found myself involuntarily listening in on recently.\nI now know that this total stranger, thanks to his very public cell phone call, was \u201cheadin\u2019 for Billings.\u201d I wasn\u2019t really trying to listen in, but I couldn\u2019t avoid hearing the weather report from every vantage point of his journey, I noted his reaction to the forecast for southern Montana \u2013 \u201cdamn cold, damn cold\u201d \u2013 and listened with rapt interest as he speculated on college football bowl games and the fate of Obamacare. Then he called his wife. I\u2019m delighted to report that the problem with their credit card has been cleared up. Someone in the family, also happy to report, with a serious medical condition has taken a turn for the better.\nI\u2019m not sure why the guy had to actually go to Billings, he seemed to have all the bases covered with a few cell phone calls from the E gate waiting area.\nI\u2019m old enough to remember when air travel actually did have the patina of glamor, when people wore their best clothes to make a flight and real food, as in the illustration, was available as part of the trip. My first flight was on Frontier Airlines \u2013 the old Frontier, not the current Frontier \u2013 in a Convair 580, a twin-engine 48-passenger prop plane that, as I recall, had big comfortable seats. It\u2019s been downhill ever since. Actually, I date the real demise of decent air travel to an abysmal airline once owned by the weird billionaire Howard Hughes.\nHughes Airwest was really Hughes Air Worst. The airline went out of business in 1980 and somewhere they are still looking for checked bags. One running joke had it that Air Worst offered a tri-weekly flight to Lewiston, Idaho. The punchline: the plane goes up one week and tries to come back the next.\nOthers, including former American Airlines CEO Robert Crandall, date the decline in air travel quality and comfort to the deregulation of the industry in the late-1970\u2019s. In 2008, admittedly a particularly bad time for airlines, Crandall said: \u201cThe consequences (of deregulation) have been very adverse. Our airlines, once world leaders, are now laggards in every category, including fleet age, service quality and international reputation. Fewer and fewer flights are on time. Airport congestion has become a staple of late-night comedy shows. An even higher percentage of bags are lost or misplaced. Last-minute seats are harder and harder to find. Passenger complaints have skyrocketed. Airline service, by any standard, has become unacceptable.\u201d\nOf course since Crandall made those comments his old airline has merged with US Airways to create \u201cthe world\u2019s largest airline.\u201d I hope never to fly with them.\nThe U.S. airline business is a trillion dollar industry that is vital to the country\u2019s and the world\u2019s economy. Air travel is safe, can be \u2013 if you\u2019re careful booking your ticket \u2013 a relative bargain, and for much business and leisure travel it is really the only game in town. It is also uncomfortable, often unpleasant and almost always a hassle. It\u2019s hard to think of a consumer-oriented business anywhere where the creature comfort of the consumer is given so little attention. For that reason alone \u2013 keep the cell phones off, but also think for a moment about a different kind of travel experience.\nIn virtually every other developed nation in the world there are serious competitors to airlines. They are called trains. The United States is so far behind the rest of the world in the development and implementation of a national passenger train system that we might as well be Argentina, a country like the U.S. that once had a working national rail system, largely funded by British investment, that has now mostly been dismantled.\nIn his lively and engaging recent book One Summer \u2013 America, 1927 author Bill Bryson recounts the kind of rail system the nation once had and should strive to have again. \u201cThe most extraordinary feature of rail travel was how much choice there was\u2026a customer in 1927 could buy a ticket on twenty thousand scheduled services from any of 1,085 operating companies.\u201d\nActually sleeping on a train in 1927 wasn\u2019t all that glamorous, Bryson acknowledges. It was often noisy with plenty of bumps, but then again try sleeping on an airplane these days. \u201cTo keep customers distracted, and to generate extra income in a crowded market, nearly all trains put a great deal of emphasis on their food,\u201d Bryson says. \u201cOn Union Pacific trains, for breakfast alone the discerning guest could choose among nearly forty dishes \u2013 sirloin or porterhouse steak, veal cutlet, mutton chop, wheat cakes, boiled salt mackerel, half a spring chicken, creamed potatoes, cornbread, bacon, ham, link or patty sausage, and eggs any style \u2013 and the rest of the meals of the day were just as commodious.\u201d You\u2019re lucky to get a tiny packet of pretzels on a flight today. Most airlines now insist on cash only and if you are lucky enough to be on a flight where you can buy a snack good luck navigating enough room to eat it on the tiny tray table. Remember that guy in the row ahead. His seat will be all the way back.\nThere are a multitude of reasons that contributed to the demise of a national passenger rail network, including the fact that, like airlines these days, railroads in the 1930\u2019s and 1940\u2019s were in awful financial shape. But the nation\u2019s fixation with cars and planes, and the massive subsidies we lavish on both, also helped drive the passenger train off the tracks. The next time you hear a politician say we can\u2019t afford to subsidize rail transport ask him what we\u2019re doing with cars and airplanes? Who builds the runways and freeways? We have subsidized the modes of transportation we value and generally left passenger rail off the list. Nearly everywhere else in the world from Beijing to Berlin it\u2019s a different story.\nIf you could go from Seattle to Portland or San Francisco to L.A. or Chicago to St. Louis as fast and comfortably as a French businessman goes from the heart of Paris to downtown London you\u2019d never think of flying. And most trains, I should note, have quiet cars where the cell phones are always turned off.\nI admit to getting a bit nostalgic at Christmas time, so it may be fair to write off my longing for time when travel was more comfortable, more elegant and more interesting to a certain yearning for the days when men wore hats and suits on intercity trains. Today you\u2019ll more commonly find stocking caps and flip flops. Rather than the Pan-Am Clipper they seem dressed for a trip to the landfill, and not to worry \u2013 given the ubiquitous cell phone \u2013 you, dear traveler, will almost certainly hear about their trip.\nAnd, of course, I\u2019ll keep flying \u2013 what choice do I have \u2013 but, please I have no need for a weather update from Billings either in the boarding area or on board. I have a personal device for that. Which I will use. Quietly. Off in the corner.\nFor many of us August is \u201cbook month,\u201d a time of the year when we can kick back at the beach or in the back yard with the guilty pleasure of a page turning mystery or a door stop of history or biography. I personally lean to the door stop, so here are my half dozen best reads so far this summer.\nThe best book I\u2019ve read in a while is the work of a British historian Charles Emmerson called 1913: The World Before the Great War, a sweeping survey of 23 of the world\u2019s cities in the year before the world was plunged into the awful war that created the political, cultural and economic contours of the 20th Century. Emmerson is the engaging, historically fascinating travel guide as we visit the places like London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Vienna and Constantinople, cities that will be at the center of the war to come. But he also takes us to Detroit, Winnipeg, Tehran and Buenos Aires, growing cities in the first years of the century where optimism about the future soon gave way to the horror of The Great War.\nAs Ian Thomson noted in his review of 1913 in The Guardian: \u201cThe great cities of the world grew strong and rich by being open to foreigners. Vienna, capital of the Austro-Hungarian empire, united Serbo-Croats, Greeks, Bulgars and Transylvanians under the double-headed eagle of Emperor Franz Josef. The cosmopolitanism could not last, however. With a few deft strokes, Emmerson conjures an air of looming catastrophe in Vienna as Archduke Franz Ferdinand is about to be assassinated in Sarajevo in 1914 and the calamity attendant on the break-up of Habsburg crown lands breaks out. If the coming war dispersed and murdered people, the Austro-Hungarian empire had at least sheltered Jews and non-Jews alike in the multi-ethnic lands of Mitteleuropa. By the end of the conflict, from the eastern border of France all the way through Asia to the Sea of Japan, not a single pre-1913 government remained in power. The once mighty German, Habsburg, Russian and Ottoman empires had collapsed.\u201d\nThe year before The Great War was the beginning of 20th Century globalism with the world having one foot in the new century and the other in a simpler past. Writing in the Washington Post Michael F. Bishop said, \u201cMillions were soon to die on the fields of France, but in 1913 Paris was \u2018the quintessential city of seduction, sensation and spectacle.\u2019 President Raymond Poincare still brooded over the German conquest of his native Lorraine in 1870, but his fellow Parisians were more exercised about the riotous premiere of Stravinsky\u2019s The Rite of Spring. This modernist masterpiece seemed a harbinger of things to come, as a lusher and more ornate past ceded to a harsher but more dynamic present.\u201d\nThis is a great and important book that opens a window on the last year before the defining event of the 20th Century changed almost everything. Emmerson says simply of the world that will be ushered in through the bloody trenches of Europe, \u201cSomehow, somewhere, the world of 1913 had gone.\u201d\nThe American Senate\nFor 30 years Neil MacNeil was Time magazine\u2019s Congressional correspondent. From that perch MacNeil \u2013 some of you older PBS viewers may remember \u2013 was a regular in the early days of Washington Week in Review and wrote a delightful biography of one-time Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen. MacNeil died in 2008 before he was able to finish his sweeping history of the United States Senate and the project was taken over by long-time Senate historian Richard A. Baker. The result is a cozy, well-sourced review of the unique and critically important role the Senate plays in the scheme of American government.\nThe American Senate deals with the origins of \u201cthe world\u2019s greatest deliberative body\u201d through the days before the Civil War when the Senate, with names like Webster, Clay and Calhoun in power, came to dominate the presidency. All the great and not-so-great moments of Senate history are covered usually more by subject than chronology. We also get inside looks at effective leaders in Senate history like Joseph Robinson in the 1930\u2019s, Lyndon Johnson in the 1950\u2019s, Dirksen in the 1960\u2019s and Howard Baker in the 1980\u2019s. I\u2019ve read much about the origin and history of the filibuster, which has come to dominate all the Senate does or tries to do, but I\u2019ve not read a better assessment or history of the tactic of the filibuster and what its widespread use has done to diminish the Senate than in this book.\nMacNeil and Baker also offer priceless stories, including how the mellifluous Dirksen came to be called \u201cthe Wizard of Ooze.\u201d They note at one point that \u201csome senators came to believe that their speeches were not just speeches, but action itself.\u201d In one case South Carolina Sen. Ellison (\u201cCotton Ed\u201d) Smith made \u201can astonishing claim.\u201d When he began his Senate speech, Smith said, \u201ccotton was ten cents. When I finished four hours later, cotton was twelve cents. I will continue to serve you in this way.\u201d\nWhile the book is mostly a history of a great political institution that is currently in decline it is also a measured, responsible call for a better Senate with better leadership and Senators focused not on the next election, but the next generation. Who could disagree with that?\nThe release of the Leonardo DiCaprio movie version of F. Scott Fitzgerald\u2019s \u201cgreat American novel\u201d was my prompt to pull down from the high shelf and read again my dog-eared paperback of the 1925 classic. It was worth it. Most of us read Gatsby in high school or maybe in college. Forget the movie and read the real thing. As we get a little older the last line of Gatsby \u2013 \u201cSo we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past\u201d \u2013 takes on even more meaning.\n1940 and Those Angry Days\nBoth of these books \u2013 1940 by Susan Dunn and Those Angry Days by Lynne Olson \u2013 deal with the period immediately before the United States became involved in World War II. Dunn\u2019s book is conventional but solid history of the historic election when Franklin Roosevelt won his third term. Olson\u2019s book, highly readable and a page-turner, is marred by a number of silly errors that can cause a reader to question her, at times, overly simplistic conclusions. Still, I recommend both books as good, if not always nuanced, contributions to the history of a pivotal moment in the 20th Century.\nWhat\u2019s a beach read without a cocktail? In his introduction to Kingsley Amis\u2019 Everyday Drinking the late and brilliant essayist Christopher Hitchens, who knew something about booze, says that Amis, novelist and writer of short stories and non-fiction, was \u201cwhat the Irish call \u2018your man\u2019 when it came to the subject of drink.\u201d\nThis funny, opinionated, how-too guide to spirits, wine and manners is the kind of slim book you can pick up and open to any page and be entertained and informed. There is even a section with various quizzes. (I\u2019d recommend leaving it on the back of the toilet tank for easy, quick reading, but that would be so not Kingsley Amis.)\nOne reviewer had this advice. \u201cUnder no circumstance should [Everyday Drinking] be read in one go. Not even with a pitcher of dry martinis at hand. You\u2019ll do Amis\u2019s work proper justice, as even he suggests, by reading it at the rate of, say, one chapter a night. You may even try reading it out loud at bedtime. Or not.\u201d\nAmis covers history, hangovers, recipes and almost everything that is put in a bottle behind a label and often in just a few paragraphs. He writes, for example, of Champagne as a drink that will \u201cgo with any food and one can theoretically drink it right through a meal\u2026in practice it is suppose to be a splendid accompaniment to a cold summery lunch of smoked salmon and strawberries. Best of all on its own, I have heard its admirers say, about 11:30 a.m., with a dry biscuit. Which leaves plenty of time to sneak out to the bar for a real drink.\u201d\nThere you have it \u2013 a half dozen good reads for August. Grab a drink and a book and have at it.\nGood Reads this Year\nWinston Churchill was the greatest statesman/writer of the 20th \u2013 or perhaps any \u2013 Century. Over his long life he made serious money as a writer, won the Nobel Prize for his life\u2019s work as a writer and was also a serious reader.\nWinston once said, \u201cIf you cannot read all your books\u2026fondle them \u2013 peer into them \u2013 let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on the shelves with your own hands, arrange them with your own plan so that you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends; let them at any rate, be your acquaintances.\u201d\nSuch a quote is a good jumping off point to praise some of the books of this year that I enjoyed \u2013 and perhaps you will, too.\nFirst\u2026Churchill. The book is The Last Lion \u2013 Defender of the Realm the last of three volumes \u2013 the first two by William Manchester \u2013 that constitute a mini-library of the remarkable life of the great Englishman. Knowing he was dying, Manchester asked reporter Paul Reid to finish his magnum opus. It was sure to be an impossible job, but I must say Reid does a fine job of closing the Churchill ring. One can nitpick the style or the focus and some critics have hit the length \u2013 over 1,000 pages \u2013 but Reid has done justice to Manchester\u2019s Lion. The book covers Churchill during the war and to the end of his life. If, like me, you continue to be fascinated by the bigger than life, flawed, funny, tender, petulant, brilliant Churchill you\u2019ll need to tackle the book. You can build up the upper body just by holding it. The workout is worth it.\nThe quote \u2013 \u201cThe only thing new in the world is the history you don\u2019t know\u201d is attributed to Harry Truman, another prolific reader. Such is the case for me with a book, not new but published in 2009, entitled England\u2019s Last War Against France. Author Colin Smith tells the story of the bloody, far flung war between Churchill\u2019s British Empire and Nazi-friendly Vichy France from 1940-1942. It is a remarkable story now mostly forgotten.\nPublic opinion research tells us that most Americans cannot name a single member of the United States Supreme Court. John Roberts, the chief justice and best known member of the court, was identified by only 20% of Americans in one survey during 2012. That amazing and disturbing fact makes Jeffrey Toobin\u2019s book \u2013 The Oath \u2013 on the Supreme Court and the Obama Administration all the more valuable. The title refers to the botched presidential oath Roberts administered to Obama in 2008 and that story is a fine point of departure for Toobin to take us into the inner workings of the third branch. Reading this book will give you reason to believe that knowing the nine justices and understanding how politics and background drives the court even more important than worrying over the fiscal cliff.\nFor pure power of good writing and enormous grasp of history, culture and literature, treat yourself to a copy of the late Christopher Hitchens\u2018 collection of essays Arguably. You don\u2019t have to like Hitchens\u2019 politics or approve of his views on religion to be astounded at his range and writing. This is kind of book you can pick up for a few minutes, lose yourself, put down and then discover again and again. Remarkable stuff.\nJohn Lewis Gaddis\u2019 brilliant life of diplomat, writer and big thinker George F. Kennan won the 2012 Pulitzer for biography. It deserves the medal. You\u2019ll come away from reading about Kennan\u2019s life wondering why we aren\u2019t producing such public servants today or, if we are, why they are never heard from.\nSo many other great books in 2012 \u2013 Caro on LBJ, Meacham on Jefferson, new novels from Jim Harrison and Ivan Doig and more.\nAs Winston said, \u201cIf you cannot read all your books\u2026fondle them \u2013 peer into them \u2013 let them fall open where they will\u2026let them be your friends.\u201d It was a good year for friends.",

        "raw_content": "by revnick | Aug 28, 2018 | Sermons | 0 comments\nPretty much every summer the kids and I have a traditional outing. Each year we go to OnTreePark, which is a zipline and obstacle ropes course just outside Windsor and not too far from our family cottage. And, as usual, we did it again this summer. There was one day where we had nothing else planned and it wasn\u2019t too stinking hot for a few hours of exercise in the woods.\nWhen you get to the park, the first thing you need to do is register and sign the waiver that you won\u2019t sue them because you fell out of a tree doing something stupid. After you\u2019ve done that and paid your fees, you then move onto getting your safety equipment.\nThe safety equipment OnTree requires you to wear is a helmet, gloves and the harness. The harness is the part that keeps you from falling out of the trees.\nThere are a number of straps that go around various parts of your body which are part of the harness. There\u2019s a belt around your waist. There\u2019s loops that go around your legs as well as shoulder straps. Attached to the harness are also the hooks and gear you\u2019ll use to navigate the courses.\nAs you step into this contraption, a staff member then places the loops and straps in their appropriate positions and tightens them all up for you.\nBy the time all the straps are put into place and are pulled nice and snug, you realize this isn\u2019t the most comfortable piece of equipment in the world. But, in the name of safety and for the fun we are about to have, a little bit of discomfort is totally worth it.\nOnce you have your harness on, you then receive instruction on how to use the gear to maneuver yourself around the courses laid out high in the trees. You learn how to attach yourself to the safety lines and how to use the zipline tool. Once you\u2019ve demonstrated you are able to use these things safely, you receive one more bit of instruction before you are released into the woods. And these instructions are some simple rules you need to follow. Such as, don\u2019t take off your safety equipment while in the trees. Apparently this happens!\nGenerally, there is a \u201ctwo strike\u201d rule for the park. Break a rule, and you get a new helmet, the \u201chelmet of shame\u201d. Still insist on breaking rules? Then you get to leave the park immediately.\nAlthough I\u2019m not sure why someone would want to break rules. I mean\u2026 taking your safety harness off while 60\u2032 high in the trees doesn\u2019t seem like a smart idea.\nOverall, we had a pretty good morning in the trees. We had fun, we got some fresh air, and we got some good exercise. We even tried a more challenging course we had never done before. And no one wore the \u201chelmet of shame\u201d. We followed the rules and also kept our safety harnesses on!\nIt only makes sense right? If the experts are telling you to wear certain gear for your own safety, so that you won\u2019t die falling 60\u2032 out of a tree, or at least seriously hurt, then you should do it, shouldn\u2019t you?\nIt kind of reminds me of the War Amps ads you\u2019ve seen on TV over the years, the reminders to \u201cPlay safe\u201d as children tell their stories of becoming an amputee due to \u201cmean machines\u201d.\nSo whether you are out in a farm field, playing near a street, mowing a lawn, or climbing 60\u2032 in the trees, it\u2019s a good reminder to play safe and take all precautions to protect yourself.\nThe same can also be said about our spiritual selves.\nAs Paul gets to the end of his letter to the Ephesian church, he has spent 6 chapters encouraging them in their faith. He knows there will be challenges, he knows they will make mistakes, he knows forces of evil will try and stop what they are building, so at the end of his letter he tells the church how to protect itself.\nHe tells the people of the church to put on the whole armour of God.\nThe first thing we need to remember when Paul talks about the armour of God is that he\u2019s not preparing us for a physical battle. Remember, he knows the enemy, and the enemy does not fight a physical battle, but chooses spiritual warfare. If the enemy can separate our spirits from the Spirit of God, then he has won. So we must be ready to counter his attack.\nThe first thing Paul tells us to wear is the belt of truth. This is not a belt like we wear today. It\u2019s not to hold up their pants, but instead belts were worn in battle to show their allegiance. These belts were ornate emblems of who the soldiers served. So we, as servants of God, must wear the belt of truth to show our allegiance to our God, and none other.\nDo we, in our daily activities, wear our belt of truth? Are we showing our allegiance to our God?\nThe next piece of armour to consider is the breastplate of righteousness. In traditional warfare, the breastplate protects our vital organs, primarily the heart. You want to end a battle quickly? Get to the heart. You stop the heart, you stop the body.\nAs servants of God, we need to protect our heart. God speaks to our hearts, he leads our hearts, he knows our hearts better than we know ourselves. Traditionally the heart is our emotional centre, and if we break our heart connection to God, then we are in big trouble. Remember, no heart and the body dies quickly.\nWhen we put on the breastplate of righteousness, we are asking God to protect this most vital connection to our Father in heaven: our heart.\nWhen someone we love hurts us, what do we say happened? We say we had our heart broken. If our Father in heaven is a God of love, then we need to protect this vital connection, we need to protect our heart.\nThen Paul looks to our feet and says we need to put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. We stand on our feet. We walk, we run, we dance, all with our feet. Paul says we need to be ready to react, to be ready to move, and to do it in peace. Which, when you think about it isn\u2019t actually a great battle tactic, but when God is involved, responding in peace sure seems like a pretty good idea.\nThe next thing we need is a shield of faith. A shield protects us from attack from a distance. The breastplate protects when we\u2019re battling in close, but the shield fends of the initial attack. And if our shield is a shield of faith, then we are being told we need to have a strong faith to deflect those initial attacks which want to break our faith to get to our bodies, our hearts, our connection to God.\nHaving a strong faith, a good relationship with God, a strong understanding of scripture and being a follower of Jesus all will protect us in those initial attacks in the spiritual battle. They are our shield. We need to be ready, and for that matter, know how to use it!\nI\u2019m going over these rather quickly, I hope you are following along. I feel like I should be having a 6 week series, one for each piece of the armour Paul is asking us to wear. Might be something to think about for the future I suppose.\nNow we\u2019re onto the helmet of salvation. Helmets protect our heads and our heads are considered our centres of knowledge. So we need to protect it. We need to remember our salvation which Jesus has bought for us on the cross. This is knowledge we carry, these stories of Jesus, his sacrifice and all that he did and taught impacts who we are as Christians. We protect this knowledge for it helps define our faith.\nAnd finally we pick up our sword. This sword is of the Spirit, the Word of God. The sword is our weapon of attack, it is what we use to wound our enemy. Paul tells us our sword, that with which we will fight off the enemy, is the Word of God. It\u2019s scripture!\nRemember when Jesus fasted 40 days and nights after his baptism, and the devil came after him to tempt him? How did Jesus fend off the attacker? He responded with scripture. And after the third time the devil fled, knowing he was no match for the Word of God.\nThese are the things we need to engage in the spiritual warfare against the church and against the work of God in the world.\nThis is our safety gear so to speak. Each piece has it\u2019s own part to play in the battle. And we want our gear to be in the best shape it can possibly be. Which means we need to engage our faith, our relationship with God and keep it as strong as we possibly can.\nLike walking in the trees, why would I take off my safety harness and risk serious injury, so why would I risk giving a place where I could lose a spiritual battle and be separated from the eternal love of God?\nIn the reading from the Gospel of John, Jesus reminds us he is the bread of life, he is our sustainer, our basic need of life.\nAfter some strong words some people chose to leave from following Jesus because Jesus was asking them to give up things they could not give up. It was \u201ctoo hard\u201d they said.\nBut when Jesus turned to his disciples and asked if they were going to leave too, Peter said, \u201cLord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.\u201d (John 6:68-69)\nPeter\u2019s right. When we have heard and taken to heart the words of Jesus, there is no where else to go! Why would we seek to follow someone else when Jesus is the Holy One of God?\nThe hard part is, when this knowledge becomes known to us, when this relationship becomes part of us, that\u2019s when the attacks get stronger.\nBut if we put on the whole armour of God, when we clothe ourselves in his righteousness and truth, responding in peace and with the Word of God spoken in love as he so love us, we will truly be children of God and ambassadors of Christ in this world.\nPlay safe my friends. Follow Jesus and know him in your hearts and your minds, and your life will be full as we all come to know his Father in heaven who will be our Father as well.\nYou have shown us the way to our Father in heaven. You have invited us to join you in this family. Yet there are times when we will struggle.\nSo we ask you Jesus to strengthen our defences, to bolster our faith and bring us ever closer to you. For with you, we can walk in freedom and peace, peace this world cannot give.\nAs we continue in this journey you are laying out before us, may we ever know your presence, your Spirit among us, as we live our lives according to your will.\nWe thank you Jesus for always being with us. And we pray for all these things in your most Holy Name. Amen and amen.",

        "title": "Marvel Comics of the 1980s: Captain America - Civil War - A Spoiler-Free Review",
        "raw_content": "Captain America - Civil War - A Spoiler-Free Review\nAfter twelve superheroe movies successes, I keep waiting for Disney/Marvel to stumble. Not that I want them to, but I feel that at some point the Marvel Superhero movie ride has got to stop. I thought the same with Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man. But, neither of those missed the mark, and neither does Captain America Civil War.\nCaptain America Civil War is a great comic book movie. It builds on the twelve movies that came before it and it really feels organic and a natural progression. I feared that such a large cast of heroes\nwould be mishandled, but they weren't. We got individual moments with all of them that and their\ninteractions really made the whole better than the sum of the parts.\nThe tone is more adult as the film deals with some serious issues and for the majority of the movie\nthere's no clear villain for them to fight. They're fighting their identity and ideals in a world that\ndoesn't understand them and is afraid of them.\nThis film succeeds because it has heart. A lot of heart, humanity, and a good dose of humor that balances a lot of the story's tension and conflict\nWhile I did miss Thor and the Hulk, Spider-Man and Black Panther were pleasant surprises. Tom Holland as Peter Parker stole the show from Downey Jr. in their scenes together. I was really\nhappy with the amount of screen time Spidey got and I'm really looking forward to seeing his\nfeature film. And the same with Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther and I can't wait to see how\nthey explore Wakanda.\nDespite a running time 2 hrs 26mins, the movie didn't feel overly long, in fact it left me wanting more.\nThe only complaint I had was that the film's antagonist wasn't fleshed out, his motivation seemed a bit clumsy.\nWhile the film is the first of the Third Phase of Marvel movies, it wraps up with a new status quo that felt like both an ending and a new beginning. Although we have a vague idea of that new beginning is headed, I guess we'll just have to wait and see where Doctor Strange and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 take us.\nLabels: Ant-Man, Avengers, Black Panther, Captain America, Captain America: Civil War, Marvel Comics, Spider-Man",

        "raw_content": "Interview: Nate Hall \u2013 U.S.Christmas (USX) singer faces \u201cFear of Falling\u201d\nWhen I was teaching I really tried to get kids to examine the idea of \u201cThe American Dream\u201d and what it meant to them. I actually got some of them to come up with their own definition for the term. But sadly, too many just didn\u2019t care. They don\u2019t care about others, don\u2019t care about the world we live in. They are taught this mindset, and given all kinds of distractions to enable it to take over. There is going to be a greater divide between people who choose to think and those who refuse to care about anything but themselves\u2026 Right now, there are millions of people standing up for what they believe and demanding humane treatment for all living things. I\u2019m just one of them.\u2013 Nate Hall (USX)\nNorth Carolina\u2019s Nate Hall of U.S.Christmas fame is one of America\u2019s great bards. I really wish more people fuckin\u2019 knew it. His at times semi-laconic when not wailing delivery upholds an underlying deep respect for nature, art and the voyage of the soul vs. ego. Listening to Nate\u2019s music I always feel like I am both participating in and witnessing something special, like the 60\u2019s must have evoked in people pulled and moved by the great causes and love ins of yesterday. That said, his shit really digs deep like an ayahuasca dance upon waves of feedback, like hopeful Appalachian poverty tales or the flicker of candle flames gasping up oxygen. USX are just a Godhead band, one of the rare acts like indie film/Jarmusch darlings White Hills who can do modern psychedelic music and make it not a bunch of time killing pompous wank/posturing. Writing this on the Winter Solstice, I can\u2019t help but reflect that Nate is a real spiritual warrior who could help bring about positive energy shifts.\nThis isn\u2019t throwback folk or retro blues doom just for the sake of it or the more bereft side of indie metal\u2019s imaginative cook pot. Hearing Nate sing or play the guitar vast drone \u201cDance Of The Prophets\u201d feels as much like ritual as any Sonic Youth bliss out at the end of \u201cThe Diamond Sea\u201d or as cut to the chase of American truth as \u201cDeath Valley 69\u201d, and yet Hall resonates on the same meridians of hope and faith in rock n roll that any Neil Young disciple will recognize. There\u2019s kinship to metal, punk, country and folk but it\u2019s all rock as life force. \u201cThe Valley Path\u201d by USX was a shamanic journey through underworld energy and back to the surface of self, perhaps shaking and changed but with knowledge gained and so much potential for self-growth. From the more aggro stuff on Bad Heart Bull to recent efforts there is always movement\u2026 and miles to go before Hall sleeps.\nNow Nate is back (on the heels of a great recent split with Scott from Neurosis) to deliver Fear of Falling, his new record with backing band Poison Snake. It\u2019s as great a place to start as any when the main dude is as prolific a teacher, poet and genuine artist as Nate Hall (please buy merch from him HERE).\nClick HERE for a deep conversation on America, music and hopes for bringing deeper awareness to the next generation.\nHow\u2019s life treating you, man? What\u2019s going on in your camp today of note?\nLots of guitar playing, art making, laughing, small dogs, fat cats, children, and general jackassery. For the most part, things are good. I have the things that matter.\n[youtube]http://youtu.be/53uvMtjg_no[/youtube]\nDo you think we still have \u201cmyth\u201d stories for younger musicians or this eras musicians who aren\u2019t part of the old guard?People always talk about Dylan visiting Woodie Guthrie or whatever. I hear a song of yours like \u201cThe Traveling Sun\u201d and I can\u2019t help but imagine some road weary back story to it.\nOh yeah, for sure. It is much easier now for people to reach out and interact with people they admire. I can see plenty that would have inspired me as a younger person. I hope I can inspire the next generation. As for Traveling Sun, it is abstract even to me. Most of my songs are a sort of slideshow from my subconscious. There are some things that only songs can say. If you want a road story, \u201cRaw Chords\u201d is the one.\nDo you think anyone still wanders around in search of an American Dream ala Ken Friedman\u2019s Made In Usa movie. Why do people hold up this idea of the heartland but then ignore that all our food is fucked with, for example. New York just banned fracking which may have a domino effect, but that remains to be seen. Any thoughts on these matters? The 7\u2033 art to your split with Scott Kelly makes my heart ache for the past but also want to hold on to the memories of the dead, the Buffalo, all the stuff we hear about. I live in Upstate, NY and have rarely seen many Native Americans in one place, for example. It\u2019s painful and still lingers.\nCool that you ask that. When I was teaching I really tried to get kids to examine the idea of \u201cThe American Dream\u201d and what it meant to them. I actually got some of them to come up with their own definition for the term. But sadly, too many just didn\u2019t care. They don\u2019t care about others, don\u2019t care about the world we live in. They are taught this mindset, and given all kinds of distractions to enable it to take over. There is going to be a greater divide between people who choose to think and those who refuse to care about anything but themselves. There has always been a divide, but it is going to grow because the people who seek knowledge will find it and grow into amazing, caring, thoughtful, creative and sacred beings. It\u2019s a new kind of evolution, which is going to divide humanity. To me, this is, oddly, an important sign of hope.\nI imagine so many people in the past desperately wanting information and understanding but had no way to learn anything outside of their own sphere. I was a child like that. I had so many questions and no one to answer them. I do look to the past, and maybe that is why you feel the same connections I do without any kind of explicit reference. We are all linked together in some way. The art for that split is actually the exhumed skeleton of Tony Wyioming\u2019s beloved tomcat. He sees the beauty in decay for sure.\n[youtube]http://youtu.be/RPnQm-9Gcgs[/youtube]\nWhat do you remember most vividly from the period of time when you completed The Valley Path? Did you know that was a next level artistic statement or was it like a dream?\nI wrote the words and imagined the direction as a means to hold on to a place I was leaving behind. It was just a thing I needed to do. I do have to admit that I expected more people to see the symbolism and codes in ETLD, RTITN, and The Valley Path. It\u2019s there, and there were a few bright souls who embraced it. Thank you for being one of them.\nSo you put out Live On The Columbia Beat this year! How did you choose those performances for a live release? I love \u201cDark Star.\u201d One of your most spare and haunting, dare I say, ballads.\nMan, that was just a really happy accident. I went to Columbia a while back just to do a show with some friends. I recorded that on the USC radio station just because it fell together. I\u2019ll always do as much as I can in a day. It was a good studio and the radio dudes knew what they were doing. I just played those songs and was out! The recording is exactly what happened, no edits whatsoever. Then I played a show to about six people that night. \u201cDark Star\u201d is a tragic story for sure. \u201cA Great River\u201d came from some really dark times.\nDo you ever have to sort of prepare yourself before letting go in a song like \u201cHeat and Sway\u201d? Fear Of Falling is such a great record. How\u2019d you find your band and also what\u2019s happened to bravery in America? Does it still exist?\nI guess I am always prepared. I never do anything deliberately before I play or record. I just know what I need to do and the rest happens naturally. I am perfectly suited to playing guitar. Everyone has that one thing, and thankfully that is mine. I found the Poison Snake dudes by trying to help Richard (Kirby) find some of his stolen gear. I knew who he was because he is a legendary pro skater. I had heard he played with some of the desert rock bands (Fatso Jetson). We met up later and ran around, eventually played some. He and Scott Thomas already played together and were tight. It was a good thing it happened. We get along well and like to ramble. It would be awesome if we could get a proper release for Fear of Falling. But you know, you can lead a horse to water -labels being the horse. Sometimes the horse dies before it can drink the water, hence our predicament. As for bravery\u2026..yeah I see a lot of it. The problem is that so many people in power are total idiots, cowards, and just terrible human beings. I mean, we had a total C-student idiot as president for eight years. We had a war started by a bunch of privileged cowards who were too scared to fight in one themselves. However, I look to the past to find a lot of inspiration \u2013 Faulkner\u2019s Nobel prize speech, Crazy Horse\u2019s defiance and sacrifice, BobDylan\u2019s complete disregard for expectations and tradition, Neil Young\u2019s endless inventiveness, Jesus laying out the meaning of life in simple terms and calling out powerful hypocrites even though he knew he\u2019d get killed for it. MLK always knew he was a marked man and said as much in video interviews. Of course, that was the past, but there is always bravery in living things if you look for it. Right now, there are millions of people standing up for what they believe and demanding humane treatment for all living things. I\u2019m just one of them.\nWhat keeps psychedelic music vital for you? I\u2019m impressed when you or a band like The Golden Grass can make new strides in a well worn genre. It\u2019s fantastic. Namaste, traveler.\nIt\u2019s all I know man. I never think twice about it. That\u2019s the thing that is hardest to explain about music: being able to see what is possible and make it happen when nobody (or few) understands or cares what you are doing. I mean, in 2014 I put out that live recording, two full albums, a part of a Townes Van Zandt Tribute, and completed my part for a collaboration with Dragged into Sunlight from UK. I also worked with Richard, Scott, Brett Netson and Scott Kelly on a record for a new band called Rivers of Madness. I don\u2019t know many other people that could pull that off.. But for the most part, it was met with a collective shrug. I was blown off by labels, booking agents, venues, you name it. It\u2019s been frustrating. I do realize how things work though. Most magazines and blogs cover bands they are paid to cover. When a label with means puts out music, they hire a PR agency to push the record. I have no problem with that, but it shouldn\u2019t be the only means to an end. When I was a reporter I was always on the lookout for interesting people and subjects. I just don\u2019t see that same drive in most music writers today. And I don\u2019t get it, because I am a pretty interesting figure. I\u2019m sure as hell not boring. I guess I don\u2019t nurture the connections necessary to work the business end of things. I\u2019m not for sale. People who make music are either artists or entertainers, and I am not an entertainer. I don\u2019t give a shit about trends or things that \u201cfit\u201d together. And I certainly am not going to lower myself or beg for coverage. I\u2019d rather speakmy mind about what bugs me. I know my own worth and I won\u2019t lower myself or deal twice with someone who wastes my time or insults my work. I\u2019m just going to do what I want. Ironically, that is the most important thing for any artist to do.\nI don\u2019t want to come across as unappreciative of the many labels I work with. They know where they stand with me. Neurotis like family, and I have good relations with a dozen others across the world. I love and value them greatly. But I create too much music for any one label to handle in this economy, so I am really open minded about who I work with. I want to give smaller labels a chance to step up. I don\u2019t want to feed the beast, I\u2019d rather make it obsolete. My point is, when labels like Neurot are willing to back me, that should be a good sign for others with shared values. The signs are there. Bright minds reading this: take note.\nMind closing on a grand note? I am going to embed a quote of yours from your Fear Of Falling release page and wondered if you could elaborate more on the topic:\n\u201cTo fall, to find ourselves at the mercy of cowards and fools is a great and terrible fear. It is the ultimate humiliation. From childhood, we all understand the basic truth of, \u201cwhat goes up comes down.\u201d Still, those with vision and the force of will to make it real cannot resist the urge to rise as high as we can, knowing full well that we will eventually fall back to the lowest plane. But there is more, much more than this. I believe that there is another world greater than the one we now see.\u201d\nEverything is backwards now. I guess it always has been, but in the information age it is really hyper- visible to me and millions of others. Rich and powerful people have created shortcuts only available to themselves. This applies to government, employment, and sadly even art \u2013 or what often passes for art. It sucks, but that is the world we live in. It\u2019s a rigged game. If an honest, good person gets involved in this equation, the result is going to be bad. I feel like I, and really anyone with a shred of decency in them, is faced with two choices: Try and be sure to fall \u2013 hard. Or, just give the hell up. I refuse to give up. I spent the last five years of my life waiting for the hammer to fall. I\u2019m speaking of a professional setting outside of music. I knew that my very existence was an affront to so many people I interacted with on a daily basis. I worked my ass off to earn advanced degrees, knocked the top out of tests, made deep connections with people I taught only to see the most corrupt, dim-witted, lazy people I have ever met completely destroy any hopes I had for a steady job to benefit my family. And I\u2019ve seen the people who worked the least rewarded the most.\nDeep down, I knew something traumatic would happen to me. I\u2019m too blunt, too honest, too real. I am who I am and I don\u2019t hide that or apologize for it. And to be honest, I am a threat to the way things are. If given a chance, I will teach kids to think, to challenge what they believe, and to grow as human beings. I want them to break the cycles of ignorance, bigotry, and selfishness that keep most of the world in a state of poverty. That scares the hell out of a lot of people. But I also want to say that in the big picture my troubles are minor. I have a good life and I am grateful for it. Troubles like mine are shared by many people over the world \u2013 often to much larger and severe degrees. I feel a connection to that. I feel the pain of others, but I don\u2019t understand it. I guess the best way to explain it is that when I reflect on my own personal troubles I often think about how much worse the pain must be for those subjected to mindless violence, torture, sickness, and grief. I think the human soul \u2013 the collective one \u2013 is deeply wounded by the course of human history. The goodness in humans, in all sentient beings, is a sacred thing, and I believe it is the thing that will endure when all else is gone.\nThank you for being one of a handful of people to take the initiative to write about me. Keep seeking out the good stuff.\nI enjoyed this \u2013 Nate\nphotos by Mignon Petrini\nIn April, for my old lady:\n-by Nate Hall\nYour old bones are showing,\nAs you jingle and clatter.

        "raw_content": "In their book, Enter the Ring: Fighting Together for a Gospel Saturated Marriage, D.A. and Erica Horton have written a very good book about marriage in which they share through their struggles in a very vulnerable and honest manner. This is book would be great for people who are newly married; or married for under 10 years or so.\nThe Horton's share for their own marriage. A marriage that has endured many difficulties, even prior to their marriage, as they almost did not get married. They use a great deal of scripture verses to help the reader understand their intentions.\nThe Horton's explore the tension of two people becoming one and how spouses often fight over which \u201cone of us\u201d they become. They unpack topics such as\nSeasons of suffering\nSexual and physical intimacy\nThe spiritual life of the home\nThis book approaches the traditional topics of a marriage book with the brutal and life-giving honesty of two millennials who have fought together for their marriage. All topics are addressed through the vulnerable lens of the authors\u2019 own struggles and mistakes.\nThis is a no-holds-barred, real-world . . . marriage book.\nIn his book, Make Your Voice Heard in heaven: How to Pray with Power, former Senate Chaplain, Barry Black has written a very succinct and powerful book on prayer. This book arose from his powerful keynote message at the 2017 National Prayer Breakfast, which led to many cheers and a standing ovation.\nHe explains that in order to make ourselves heard in a way that really changes things, we must start by calling upon God \u2015 the one who holds the ultimate power.\nAs followers of Jesus, we need to realize that when we come together to pray, we invite the very real presence of Almighty God into our midst. When our prayers are heard in heaven, our need for guidance, strength, healing, mercy, grace, and wisdom will be met by a holy God.\nIn this book, Chaplain Black shows how to pray prayers that God will hear and that release God\u2019s power and blessing in our lives. There are 15 chapters outlining in very practical terms ways we are to pray.\nChaplain Black shows us through the use of Scripture, personal stories, and practical insights, how our prayers can\nunleash God\u2019s power\nincrease your partnership with God\u2019s will\ndeepen your intimacy with God\nstrengthen your desire to live a God-pleasing life\nhelp you avoid missing God\u2019s blessings . . . and more\nThis is an easy to read, yet a slowly read book because of all the deep insight Chaplain Black brings into our lives.\nEveryday worship!\nThe Air I Breathe: Worship as a way of life, by Louie Giglio is not the typical book about worship. He is not telling us how to worship when we enter a church building on Sundays. He wants the reader to understand that worship \u201cis the essence of what makes us truly human.\u201d This is an easy to read, fast paced, yet a book filled with deep implications about the way we live our lives. This book should challenge each reader.\nI\u2019ve read other material and watched videos of Louis. He is filled with passion and enthusiasm for Christ. It\u2019s evident in the pages of this book.\nHe explains that true freedom comes when worship flows through us as naturally as the air we breathe, when the words and actions in our lives resonate with our Creator so deeply that every inhalation is full of meaning. When we understand the holiness of the God who knows the stars by name \u2014 and His overwhelming love for each one of us \u2014 how can we offer anything less?\nGiglio passionately explains what it means to truly live a life of worship, offering insight and guidance for finding our personal path towards connecting with the God of the Universe. We were created to worship and God is the One who is worthy of our worship.\nThe book also includes a set of questions for small groups and a list of Scriptures used. There is also an excerpt from another book by Giglio. This book is highly recommended for those who desire to move beyond the superficial and gain a greater intimacy with God in their daily relationship with Him. The book has 11 chapters totally 113 pages.\nA Memoir of Charlie Daniels\nCharlie Daniels is one of my all time favorite performers. I've seen him in concert multiple times and appreciate his music and life. The book, Never Look at the Empty Seats: A Memoir of Charlie Daniels is a must read for his fans.\nHis music always tells a story, each song tells you something about his life or his thoughts and dreams. The book is very similar. As Daniels shares stories about his childhood through his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. You would have expected it, but it was a crowning accomplishment in his life.\nThis book will help the reader to better understand who this icon of southern rock / country music is. He tells story after story about life and those who were deeply involved in his life.\nHis stories are funny, they are sad, they are honest and raw as he shares his successes and his failures. Overall, this is an easy to read and fun, and enlightening book for fans of CDB!\nI was provided this book in exchange for an honest review.\nBeing Open to the Spirit\nIn his newest book, Scot McKnight takes a look at the Holy Spirit. His books is entitled Open to the Spirit: God in Us, God with Us, God Transforming Us. McKnight seeks to answer some of the basic questions even Christ followers have regarding the Holy Spirit, such as Who is the Holy Spirit? What is the purpose of the Holy Spirit? Should we pray to the Holy Spirit? How do we relate to the Holy Spirit? And more questions are answered in this book.\nMost people are confused about the role of the Spirit, especially as it relates to the Trinity and McKnight attempts to help the reader gain a better understanding.\nThis book is well written, filled with a number of examples and illustrations which will help the reader better understand the mysterious Holy Spirit. This is not a deep theological book. But it is one that seeks to take someone who already has a basic knowledge and help them to go deeper in their understanding of the Holy Spirit.\nThe call is for the Christian to be open to the Holy Spirit so they could better grow in their relationship with Christ, and with the Spirit. I sense that McKnight's goal was to help the reader gain a better understanding of the Holy Spirit, thus the reason this is not as theological or academic. I appreciated this approach.\nOverall, I would recommend this book to those wanting to gain wisdom and understanding of the Holy Spirit.\nA Life Beyond Amazing!\nIn his newest book, A Life Beyond Amazing: 9 Decisions That Will Transform Your Life Today, Dr. David Jeremiah, has written an outstanding book about how to live life according to the Fruits of the Spirit.\nThis book has the potential to be life changing. As Jeremiah correctly points out early in the book, living life according to these 9 Fruits of the Spirit is a decision which we make. They are difficult decisions to live according to each fruit of the spirit, but the potential when we do is a \"life beyond amazing.\"\nThe chapters are ~\nA life of Humility\nA life of Self-Discipline\nWhile I look at some of the headers for the fruits of the Spirit differently than Jeremiah, he is still touching on the same topics, just using different words. For example, generosity is also goodness; endurance is patience . . . and so on.\nDr. Jeremiah gives a number of practical examples and illustrations to help the reader better understand and then apply these fruits into their lives.\nOverall, this is an excellent book and one which should be read and discussed!!",

        "title": "An Open Letter To Andrew Cuomo: Now Will You Keep Your Clemency Promises? - In These Times",
        "raw_content": "Two days before New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faced a Sept.13, 2018 primary challenge from Cynthia Nixon, an S&P NYC activist holds a sign made by Athena Soules of the NYC Light Brigade calling on Cuomo to free incarcerated survivors of domestic violence, (Photo by Juli Kempner)\nWeb Only / Views \u00bb November 7, 2018\nDespite big talk, in eight years, the governor has freed exactly one domestic violence survivor from prison.\nWe\u2019re not asking the impossible. In August, California\u2019s Governor Brown issued 18 commutations in one day.\nCongratulations on securing a third term. This time around, are you ready to do right by criminalized survivors of domestic violence?\nWe need to talk about the fact that you\u2019ve been MIA on commutations. You have sole power to, with the stroke of a pen, free any criminalized survivor of domestic violence (and anyone else sentenced to incarceration in New York) today. Yet in this \u201cMe Too\u201d moment, you\u2019ve done nothing for those who had to go to the greatest lengths to survive gender-based violence.\nThis time last election cycle, things looked promising. You promised New Yorkers a more accessible, transparent commutations system. In December 2014, weeks after the election, you launched a new clemency website and bureau. Then, in October of 2015, you announced an initiative to actively seek incarcerated individuals whose sentences you could commute, and encouraged law firms and public defenders to provide assistance to individuals who wanted to prepare petitions. Your stated goal for this initiative was to \u201censure that clemency is a more accessible and tangible reality,\u201d for incarcerated New Yorkers.\nSince that time, we have been waiting patiently to hear of more sentence commutations, specifically for individuals who are incarcerated due to acts of survival, or survivors of gender violence. For thousands of survivors incarcerated in New York, clemency has yet to become a \u201ctangible reality\u201d as you promised. You have created a clemency bureau to supposedly make clemency \u201caccessible,\u201d but at the same time you created arbitrary guidelines that impede that very accessibility. In reality, you have absolute power to commute anyone\u2019s sentence at any time for any reason. Your executive clemency website says that \u201cThe Governor may commute a sentence in any way that he considers appropriate.\u201d\nGovernor Cuomo\u2014what happened? You\u2019ve been eight years in office now, but we have only 12 commutations to show for it. Only one of them, Valerie Seeley, was a survivor of domestic violence. There are thousands of survivors of domestic violence incarcerated throughout the New York State prison system, many of whom are there for reasons relating to the violence they endured. Most are serving long sentences; many were incarcerated at a very young age. Many we\u2019ve spoken with have persevered in the harsh environment of prison to learn about domestic violence, how it affected their lives, and how they can change their lives for the better. Incarceration continues to traumatize these survivors\u2014an extension of the violence and abuse that they have endured throughout their lives. All have families and communities waiting for them to come home.\nWe\u2019re not asking the impossible. In August, California\u2019s Governor Brown issued 18 commutations in one day! Yet while Governor Brown publishes reports on his commutations record, you removed the data on your abysmal commutations record from your site. Governor Cuomo, you don\u2019t have to be ashamed about broken promises or the people you\u2019ve let languish in prison: Just pick up your pen, and free them.\nWe want to know what you are waiting for. Patrice Smith would also like to know. She has been incarcerated since the age of 16, and would like you to know why you should commute her sentence and let her come home. Here is a letter from her, telling you why in her own words:\nClick here to read Patrice\u2019s full letter to Governor Cuomo.\nThe clemency power has historically been used generously, and should be\u2014by commuting Patrice\u2019s sentence and the sentences of thousands of others.

A number of reasons quickly come to mind as to why large segments of the population are drawn to earning an income through an affiliate program; first and foremost, the need to deal directly with the public has been eliminated, management responsibilities are nonexistent and the need to stock an inventory is absent.\nBeing an internet genius is not necessary when operating a home business online and just as important, creating an income can be done in the comfortable surroundings of your home and during the hours you choose.\nJust as in any business situation it is beneficial to understand the ins and outs of the methods of creating an online income utilizing an affiliate program. Comprehending the fundamentals and becoming proficient with certain approaches and strategies are a few of the items that need to be understood before you are literally able to see a cash flow from the internet. The level of your success and income rests totally in your hands and yours alone.\nOne of my strong recommendations is to steer clear of the numerous scams scattered throughout the internet. These would include: internet pyramids, CPA proposals, offers to read various documents, such as e-mails and completing surveys are but a few that fall into this category. Programs such as these only put money in the owner\u2019s pocket.\nIf you are truly interested in successfully creating an online income with an affiliate program, I have listed five online income-generating methods that are a guaranteed success:\n5. E-Book Creation: This method is a very lucrative and aggressive approach to earning an income. But, it does require a high level of effort and experience to create a substantial income by writing e-books. This method is not recommended for beginning internet entrepreneurs.\n4. E-commerce: Online marketers have done very well with this approach and it is considered the granddaddy of internet businesses. This approach includes selling actual products and does require an extensive business background, loyalty between providers and buyers and it could possibly be very time-consuming depending on your experience level. This approach would not be my recommendation either until you have had a chance to get your feet wet.\n3. CPA Network: This method is easy and conducive in creating an online income stream. You receive payment for each referral you submit to various organizations and product owners. On the flip side, CPA programs often pay pennies for each referral and it may take some time before you begin to see any type of significant income. It would require a massive amount of traffic to create a significant and continuous income.\n2. Google AdSense: Operated similar to the CPA Network program, you receive payment for every referral you submit and for the completion of particular forms by the individual conducting the search. The primary difference lies in the fact that all transactions are conducted through Google.\n1. Affiliate Marketing: This approach would be my number one choice to generate a substantial and continuous income. You do not need to be concerned with selling products, maintaining inventory or receiving a relatively small sum for referrals obtain with difficult to direct traffic.\nFor each product I endorse, through the internet, I get a commission, quick and simple. Typically, the commission amount ranges in the 60 percent bracket and is based on the product cost; isn\u2019t that staggering?\nWebsite or blogs are often the method of choice for the majority of affiliate marketers when endorsing products. But, this is really not necessary and you can begin creating an income without either.\nWithout a doubt, the fastest and most simple method to create an online income is through Affiliate Marketing. I generally take about an hour for website development, then endorse a few products, sit back for a couple of hours and then watch the cash flow begin.\nSource by Alfred Sant\nFiled Under: Article marketing Tagged With: creating an online income, income, online income, to earning an income",

        "title": "Open records request reveals shocking e-mail from Kraft scientist claiming the \u201cIARC is killing us!\u201d",
        "raw_content": "If the top cancer research agency in the world links one of your products to cancer, what should you do? The responsible thing would be to pull the product from the market and try to get to the bottom of the situation. If you feel they\u2019re wrong, the most obvious course of action would be to produce evidence showing that your product does not, in fact, cause cancer. However, many food industry players affected by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)\u2019s findings have chosen to attack the group instead, which can only mean one thing: Their products are indeed dangerous, and they can\u2019t prove they\u2019re not.\nThis is likely why former Kraft General Foods, Inc. scientist James Coughlin wanted to go after the group. In email correspondence with retired Syngenta toxicologist Timothy Pastoor and Monsanto public relations man Jay Byrne, Coughlin said that he had been \u201cfighting IARC forever\u201d and recounted a period during which he criticized the group to a House staffer tasked with stripping U.S. funding from the IARC.\nIn the emails, he expressed his happiness about the House going after the IARC\u2019s NIH funding, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s about time!\u201d Mentioning ingredients like sucralose and aspartame, he suggested they all get together and devise a way to \u201cexpose\u201d the international cancer agency, saying \u201cIARC is killing us!\u201d\nSame story, different players\nWe also saw this happen with glyphosate, a chemical found in Monsanto\u2019s popular Roundup weed killer. When the group labeled it as being \u201cprobably carcinogenic to humans\u201d in 2015, Monsanto went after them. The IARC reported that there was \u201climited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans for non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma\u201d and they also said there was \u201cconvincing evidence\u201d it caused cancer in animals. Monsanto suddenly found itself facing lawsuits from cancer patients and farmers alike.\nSo what did they do in response? Did they come up with proof that glyphosate is safe and the IARC is wrong? No. Instead, they went after the group with some of their favorite tools: smear campaigns, misinformation, and propaganda.\nAs a matter of fact, they started preparing their attack ahead of the decision being handed down, enlisting lobbyists, PR experts and scientists to orchestrate an outcry over the classification before it even happened \u2013 which means they must have known the decision would not go their way because the truth is not on their side.\nAccording to internal company emails, Monsanto launched a concerted effort to discredit the IARC. They tried to have reporters and scientists plant seeds of doubt by claiming the IARC\u2019s report was based on incomplete information \u2013 something that was later shown to be untrue.\nThen, they used their political clout to enlist the help of the chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space & Technology, Rep. Lamar Smith, to open up a hearing that directly attacked the IARC\u2019s world-class scientists.\nCancer is now the second-leading killer in the United States. Given how difficult it can be to treat, prevention is essential, and that starts with identifying the things in our lives that can cause cancer so we can avoid them. That\u2019s why it\u2019s disheartening to see companies and even lawmakers going out of their way to discredit the good work of respected scientists who are trying to help stem this deadly problem simply because their findings could hurt their bottom line.\nTagged Under: cancer research, corporate corruption, dangerous toxins, deception, food safety, glyphosate, IARC, ingredients, Kraft, Monsanto, propaganda, toxins",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb FOCUS \u00bb Solving life\u2019s problems with insurance can pay off\nSolving life\u2019s problems with insurance can pay off\nThe only reason you need life insurance is to solve a problem.\n\u201cGenerally the problem that life insurance solves is to provide assets for your family in the event of your death,\u201d said David Martin, CPA, CFP, ChFC, senior vice president and director of wealth management consultant, Trustmark Wealth Management, Jackson. \u201cBasically what that means is should I die, will my family have enough money to maintain their standard of living without my earned income? Will they be able to pay for their housing, food, clothing, education, weddings and cars? Life insurance provides funds for the family to take care of their needs.\u201d\nIt is a good idea to re-evaluate the amount of insurance you purchase for a variety of reasons. Martin said as you age the amount of life insurance you need for survivor income declines for a number of reasons. One is that your children are now older and you have less of a support obligation for them. Two, your spouse is older and you have a smaller number of years to support him or her.\n\u201cMost importantly, hopefully you have built up some savings and net worth that can be used to support your family should you die,\u201d Martin said. \u201cYou probably have a nice 401(k) plan and other assets.\u201d\nFor someone with young children, the rule of thumb is insurance five to 10 times annual earnings. More might be a good idea if significant debts are involved.\nA second important reason to own life insurance is to pay off your debts in the event you die. A lot of people have life insurance to provide cash to repay debts for their home, car or business.\nThe third reason people have life insurance is if they are in business with a partner or multiple partners. Partners commonly buy insurance on each other. If a partner dies, the surviving partner has a life insurance policy to buy the partner\u2019s share of the business. Martin said this can prevent a lot of disputes between the surviving working partner and the deceased partner\u2019s family. The surviving partner is trying to grow the business or get out of debt while the deceased partner\u2019s family usually wants to get cash for their share of the business.\n\u201cThe last reason to own life insurance is to provide liquidity to pay estate tax,\u201d Martin said. \u201cSay in your lifetime you build a successful network and wind up owing estate taxes. A number of people have life insurance to provide liquidity to pay estate taxes, which are due nine months after death. Many people have a lot of real estate, which is not easy to liquidate. They don\u2019t want their family to have to sell real estate to pay estate taxes.\u201d\nMartin said if you don\u2019t have one of the four needs \u2014 income for your family, debts to pay off, business continuity and estate liquidity \u2014 then you don\u2019t need to purchase life insurance.\nDiscover your problems\n\u201cMy advice is to discover what problem you have and if you need life insurance to solve it,\u201d Martin said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have one of those problems, then you don\u2019t need life insurance.\u201d\nHe sees people getting hung up over what kind of life insurance to buy. He thinks it is more important to focus on getting the right amount of insurance.\n\u201cMake sure you have enough insurance to help your family, and don\u2019t focus on term life, whole life or universal life,\u201d Martin said.\nGenerally most people should own some term insurance. Term insurance rates have dropped between 45% and 50% in the past 10 years.\nGlenn Galey, who heads the SouthGroup Insurance office in Hattiesburg, said most people don\u2019t review their life insurance program on a regular basis.\n\u201cTherefore, often we find they are underinsured,\u201d Galey said. \u201cIt should be reviewed every three to five years, and if they have any major changes in their businesses or their life, then they really ought to sit with someone who is skilled in the area of life insurance and review their present needs and program. The best thing to do is find someone who does have expertise in life insurance. And once you determine how much insurance is needed, ask the person to shop for the life insurance coverage because that person will know what companies have the insurance they need at the most competitive price.\u201d\nGaley said barriers to people obtaining life insurance may be more, because they are busy and have difficulty finding time to consider a policy more than wanting to avoid thinking about the unpleasant possibility of early death.\n\u201cMost of us don\u2019t think in terms of something happening to us tomorrow,\u201d he said. \u201cUnfortunately, if we have not planned, that is when our business or family needs are not promptly attended to.\u201d\nDetermining what kind of life insurance to purchase doesn\u2019t have to be difficult. Dr. Steven Weisbart, an economist with Insurance Information Institute, recommends term life for people whose needs end after a certain period of time.\n\u201cIf the need never ends until you die, you need permanent insurance, typically whole life or universal life,\u2019 Weisbart said. \u201cThe most important thing is to decide how much to buy. That is also a function of what you need. If you have people who depend on your income, then the right amount to buy is the amount that replaces your income. Of course, you don\u2019t have to replace all of your income if you have other sources such as the Social Security benefit. Social Security will pay a benefit as long as the children are under 18 years old. And some people have life insurance from their employer.\u201d\nMany underinsured\nYou don\u2019t have to buy life insurance as an individual if you are covered by an employer\u2019s plan. But Weisbart said many people are underinsured. He recommends if they can\u2019t afford the premiums for whole life, then they should probably buy term insurance until they can get to afford the premiums for a permanent policy.\nGetting the advice of an expert is helpful.\n\u201cPeople should try to find a good life insurance advisor to deal with, someone they trust,\u201d Weisbart said. \u201cLife insurance can be a complicated product, and it helps to have someone you can trust explain things to you.\u201d\nHe also recommends shopping around because life insurance is a very competitive business. But when you shop, one of the most important things is to be sure you are shopping amongst financially strong companies. You are buying a policy that will be in effect for perhaps 20 or 30 or more years. You want assurance the company you are purchasing from will be around that long.\n\u201cYou want to buy from a company that has high ratings from independent rating agencies,\u201d Weisbart said. \u201cMore information about those ratings is available at the Web site www.iii.org. Customers probably would be better off choosing companies that are members of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association. Most of the major companies belong, and many smaller companies belong. Why this is valuable is these companies behave in ways that tend to provide better service for customers.\u201d\nThere are some bad players in the insurance industry, so caution is advised. Be aware that offers in the mail or inserts in newspaper that advertise really low rates are many times only available to a very small percentage of potential buyers who are exceptionally healthy and have a very strong family health record.\n\u201cIf you qualify, that is great,\u201d Weisbart said. \u201cBut in some cases, those rates would be available for only 5% to 10% of potential buyers. It is reasonable for companies to advertise their best rate, but it is important for customers to recognize that not everyone would qualify for that rate.\u201d\nPrevious: Heritage Banking acquisition unites family, old friends\nNext: Historic highway rebuilding, but what does future hold?",

        "raw_content": "The Susan Fielder Way\nIn 2013 Pancreatic Cancer took Susan Fielder\u2019s much-loved husband Dan Mears. Years earlier her mother, Guynelle passed suddenly and a little girl Susan was close to, named Jennifer, who was like her own child, lost her battle with Leukemia during that same year. Most would understand if Susan curled up in a ball, wrapped in grief.\nBut, that is not the Susan Fielder way. Instead, Susan\u2019s initial thought was \u201chow can I help other people knowing what I know now.\u201d\nMy Living Legacy is the result.\nA musician/song writer, artist, poet, designer, writer, and highly successful business woman, Susan is courageous, innovative, creative, energetic and committed. A walk through Susan\u2019s world is an exciting journey revealing a passionate woman inspired by art and sustained by her empathy for others.\nSusan designed My Living Legacy as an easy to use guidebook to create a personal journal to guide loved ones in making essential, often difficult, decisions. It is her hope \u201cthat the anguish of others will be diminished through the use of this journal.\u201d\nSusan believes, \u201cIf you don\u2019t write it down, it won\u2019t get passed down.\u201d\nSusan Fielder is the Founder of Susan Fielder & Associates, Inc., a sales promotion/marketing consultancy in San Diego. She served on the Board of Directors for the UC San Diego Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center, is a past judge for The Finest Service Awards for the San Diego Convention & Visitors Bureau, a graduate of San Diego\u2019s LEAD program, past member of the Women Presidents\u2019 Organization and a winner of the San Diego Business Journal\u2019s Woman of the Year Marketing Award as well as Woman of the Year for the Leukemia Society.\nBut, all these accomplishments take a back seat to her devotion to supporting the treatment and cure of Pancreatic Cancer, which takes over 55,000 lives a year. Her passion guided her to create a new venture called iPlaid (standing for Intuitive Passion Launches an Inner Discovery). She invites you to join her on her quest by viewing her websites www.susanfielderart.com and www.iplaid.org where a portion of all sales go to generate revenue for pancreatic cancer researchers who are on the path to a cure.\nSusan welcomes any suggestions and ideas to make a difference.\nThis isn\u2019t about leaving, it\u2019s about living!\nClick to Order your book on line right here",

        "raw_content": "Mami Moments: Remembering So We Don\u2019t Forget\nI wore my gray pinstriped dress with matching overcoat. \u00c2 And black moccasins for some reason. \u00c2 I never wore that outfit again and packed it up for giveaway shortly thereafter. \u00c2 It wasn\u2019t until I read Meg Cabot\u2019s blog yesterday that I realized this.\nI had a 9 a.m. meeting with IT and was a few minutes early (or perhaps everyone was late). \u00c2 Fred Smith (not his real name) comes in and asks me if I\u2019ve heard that a plane hit one of the towers. But he says it in what I take is a joking way. I realize now he was probably thinking what everyone was: nah, it can\u2019t be. \u00c2 I was playing with a pen that had a little race car video game at the top. It was fire engine red. \u00c2 I walk out of that meeting room knowing others won\u2019t be joining us. \u00c2 Headed towards my desk to call mami. \u00c2 On the way there, I hear more rumors. \u00c2 Someone stops and asks me about my brother, if I\u2019ve been in touch. \u00c2 I say no. I don\u2019t feel nervous. \u00c2 My brother wouldnt\u2019 be by where the towers were. His precinct is in the upper west side.\nI call mami. She has the news on. \u00c2 Back then (I don\u2019t know if you can remember this time) there wasn\u2019t a lot of news streaming on the internet. \u00c2 And what could stream wasn\u2019t coming up because everyone was doing the same thing I was. Someone was trying to locate a television.\nThe rest of the day is a blur of sorts. \u00c2 A small television in Sandy\u2019s cube. The towers falling. \u00c2 The shock. \u00c2 A few of our colleagues were on a plane out of NYC that day. \u00c2 Were they in one of them? \u00c2 One of our co-workers from the New York office was on her way down for a meeting. \u00c2 Her husband worked at the towers. \u00c2 Did she know? I remember her coming in to the office in a flurry and someone making space for her, trying to reach her husband. \u00c2 He hadn\u2019t been there that day, getting in late, I believe.\nOne of my favorite people had relocated to our New York office. She lived in New Jersey and her train would take her beneath the towers. \u00c2 She wasn\u2019t on a train. \u00c2 I kept trying to remember the last time I was in the towers, by them, around them. \u00c2 But I couldn\u2019t. \u00c2 What would cause me to commit something so common to New Yorkers to memory? \u00c2 I was young when I left but that would always be my city. \u00c2 I don\u2019t remember working that day. \u00c2 I just remember a hollow in the pit of my stomach.\nMy mother called me later on in the day to tell me that my brother had gone to 1 Police Plaza that day with a buddy. \u00c2 That he\u2019d been there. \u00c2 He ran to help when the commotion started. \u00c2 But, as they were about to enter the building he got separated from his friend and he went to look for him. \u00c2 The towers fell shortly thereafter.\nRelated: Surprise! Surprise! By Latina Magazine\nAt night, I became best friends with Peter Jennings. \u00c2 He will forever have a special place in my heart. I fell in love with him that day. \u00c2 And when he passed away, I cried for him as I did during those first nights. \u00c2 I didn\u2019t sleep. I would lie awake in my bed listening to Peter. \u00c2 And when Peter was taken off the air due to exhaustion, I listened to Charlie, or Diane or George. I\u2019d never seen news anchors cry. \u00c2 Never seen them lose their composure. This was a new day. \u00c2 I watched coverage day and night. Unable to peel my eyes away.\nI heard my brother and sister-in-law, both proud members of the NYPD were working the site. \u00c2 They did that for months. \u00c2 Either the site at ground zero or the site in New Jersey where all the evidence was taken. \u00c2 They survived but those memories still haunt them today. \u00c2 My brother still wakes up to nightmares of finding body parts. \u00c2 It could\u2019ve been them. \u00c2 I know in my heart that a part of them stayed with the rubble at ground zero. \u00c2 I see it. \u00c2 They are forever changed in ways that people cannot understand. \u00c2 I hear people comment that it\u2019s been so long, that they should be over it. \u00c2 Haven\u2019t they talked to someone? Yes, they have. \u00c2 And no they shouldn\u2019t be.\nSeptember 11th is something I struggle with understanding, naming, explaining. \u00c2 For someone who was there, I can\u2019t imagine how they feel and could never even try to relate. \u00c2 I give them their space. \u00c2 Listen when they feel like talking about it. \u00c2 Because they have something to say. \u00c2 Someone to remember. \u00c2 Someone to honor.\nMy dad insisted we fly to New York that Christmas. \u00c2 He said it was the patriotic thing to do. \u00c2 Even though he and my sister were profiled at the airport and searched to the side of the gate. \u00c2 When we got there, we heard story after story of heroism, of compassion, of love. \u00c2 For other humans and for the city.\nI stayed up to listen. \u00c2 Wishing I could take some of the pain away but knowing that as bad as I felt it didn\u2019t compare to what those that were there felt.\nToday, I write for them. \u00c2 And for all those left behind with the guilt of still being here. \u00c2 Not understanding why. \u00c2 Feeling an inexplicable obligation to carry on the memories. \u00c2 I write for the families that lost someone but also for the families who never got the person back even after they walked out of midtown. \u00c2 I wish to remember those that were lost. \u00c2 The stories are countless. \u00c2 I see faces of people whose names I will never remember. \u00c2 All of those shown in those first few weeks. \u00c2 All those lost. \u00c2 The chaplains, the firefighters, the moms, the dads, the sons and daughters.\nRelated: Catching Up\nThey will be forever remembered as long as we choose not to forget. \u00c2 It is painful and it is difficult but we must do it. \u00c2 And we must remember that solidarity that we felt on September 12th. \u00c2 I pray that we get that back without having to experience something like that again.\nMami has a glass house. In it you can see glass, mortar, a menu. \u00c2 All from the towers. \u00c2 Little things that were picked up in a daze but that later felt like such treasures. \u00c2 How could I still read a menu when so many people jumped from the very floors where the restaurant was at? \u00c2 It was her silent tribute to those lost on that day. \u00c2 This morning, I almost panicked when I couldn\u2019t find it in its usual spot. \u00c2 I think my dad moved it to a safer spot. \u00c2 I took it out and looked at it, touched it, remembered. \u00c2 When the frog princess is old enough we will talk about that day. \u00c2 I will sit her in my lap where she feels safe and I will tell her about the day when I didn\u2019t know if safety would ever touch my life again. \u00c2 I will pull out the books that were printed in remembrance of those lost so she can put faces to the story. \u00c2 And I will point to her uncle and hope that he will be able to share his account of that day. \u00c2 So that she can pass it on and others could hold the memory of the day we felt our most vulnerable and the time we felt our most together.\nWordless Wednesday: Remembering\nWorking Through the Emotions of Losing And Learning\n\u00ab Teacher Thursday: Ms. Villanueva\nMonday Musings: In My Mother\u2019s House \u00bb\nAbsolutely astounding remembrance!

        "raw_content": "The fatalities bring the death toll to five since the massive blaze started burning Monday about 100 miles south of the OR border.\nThe dead were identified as 70-year-old Melody Bledsoe and her great-grandchildren, 5-year-old James Roberts and 4-year-old Emily Roberts.\n\"It's huge flames, it's coming up the hill, and everyone's out and we're watching it, then it goes down, and everyone's like, 'Oh it's going out, ' \" she said.\nFire officials said the Carr Fire in particular has burned with an \"unprecedented\" intensity and unpredictable progression that has confounded them.\nThe Carr Fire continues to devastate Shasta County and is now at 89,141 acres and 5 percent containment, according to this mornings Cal Fire update.\nAmong the missing were two children and their great-grandmother who were stranded at a rural home when the fire blew up Thursday night, jumped the wide Sacramento River into Redding and leveled several neighborhoods.\nFor days, family members had combed evacuation shelters, praying for a sign that Melody Bledsoe and her granddaughter's children had survived the Carr Fire.\nThe air chokes with the smell of smoke and chemicals, smoldering what's left of people's lives.\nThe Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco is also checking the situation of Filipinos in Redding and surrounding areas to determine whether any of them has been affected by the so-called Carr Fire. The winds that aided firefighters in keeping the flames from more populated areas were propelling it forward at a frightening rate.\nThe fire broke out on July 23, 2018, which forced tens of thousands of people to flee from their homes. \"This fire is moving, at times, three or four different directions\".\nCrews are getting control of a small wildfire in California's wine country county of Napa, but two blazes farther north are raging mostly unchecked. A count by The Associated Press found more than 300 homes destroyed.\nSome 500 structures were destroyed, and 38,000 people remained under evacuation orders as of Saturday, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.\nHe also said his family was never told to evacuate. The two fires, burning 30 miles (50 kilometers) apart, started Friday and were threatening more than 350 buildings. The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office ordered evacuations for people living in an area of Ukiah north of Highway 175.\nIn Shasta County, Matt Smith, a Forest Service pilot with 13 years' experience as a smokejumper, says he used hoses to save his house in the well-kept neighborhood of Lake Redding Estates.\nThe Carr Fire, the deadliest and most destructive of almost 90 wildfires burning from Texas to OR, has charred 89,194 acres (36,095 hectares) of drought-parched vegetation since erupting last Monday.\n\"We did everything right\", Laura Rathe said.\nElsewhere in California, large fires continued to burn outside Yosemite National Park and in the San Jacinto Mountains east of Los Angeles near Palm Springs. The fire doubled in size Saturday, growing to more than 83,800 acres while putting residents and firefighters in harm's way.\nSo far this year, wildfires have scorched nearly 1.7 million hectares across the USA, above the 1.5 million-hectare average for the same period over the last decade.\nJOSH EDELSON via Getty Images Kambryn Brilz, 12, holds her dog Zoe in front of what remains of her burnt home after she was returned safely by a neighbor during the Carr fire in Redding, California, on July 27. One of the homes lost belonged to Shyla and Jason Campbell.\nWildfires are not uncommon in Greece, and a relatively dry winter helped create the current tinder-box conditions. By dawn Tuesday, fires were still burning around the capital, while others broke out elsewhere during the night.",

Unless he is going to be deported if he is involved in an at fault accident (and we know he isn't), why should he bother?\nAfter getting a DUI or getting into an accident, they just go down to the 7-11 and buy a new identification. They never go to court and never pay a fine. Two different sets of rules in this country - If you are illegal, you don't need to follow any laws.\nby Dave Kramer on May 29th, 2012, 7:02 am #2509625\nPilgrim1620 wrote:\nthe_quick_and_the wrote: Here's what makes MORE \"sense\"... 180,000 one way bus rides back to Juarez.

Do you love spending your money on this garbage? I sure dont! You have thousands of state employees that havent had a pay increase in over 5 years and you are shelling over a Billion dollars a year in cash for irresponsible policies governing how we deal with illegal aliens. Why do we do this? Answer...because politicians are willing to sell your state out for the votes of the hispanic population! Plain and simple!\nhttp://www.articlesbase.com/immigration ... 81673.html\nThe cost of illegal immigration for the Rocky Mountain state is $1.1 Billion dollars annually. The FAIR study observes the most obvious costs. For an example, expenses related to medicare, incarceration and education. There are other costs that the report doesn't pick up since they only focused on the major expenses.\nHere is part of the report from FAIR:\nEducation. Based on an estimate of 35,000 school-age illegal aliens and 49,000 U.S.-born school-aged children of illegal alien parents and estimated per pupil costs of $11,000 per year for public K-12 schooling, Coloradans spend about $925 million annually on educating the children of illegal immigrants. An additional $68 million is being spent annually on programs for limited English students, most of whom are likely children of illegal aliens. Those estimates exclude federal contributions to those programs. More than one in ten (10.8%) K-12 public school students in Colorado is the child of an illegal alien, and this share has grown as the illegal resident population has grown.\nHealth Care. State-funded uncompensated outlays for health care provided to Colorado's illegal alien population amount to more than an estimated $82 million a year. That is a net cost after crediting compensation from the federal government. Additionally, Coloradans who have medical insurance also pay higher medical insurance bills to help cover the costs of those without insurance.\nIncarceration. The cost of incarcerating deportable aliens in Colorado's state and local prisons amounts to more than $38 million a year. This estimate also is a net amount after deducting compensation received from the federal government. It does not include short-term detention costs, related law enforcement and judicial expenditures, or the monetary impact of the crimes that result in incarceration.\nSo there is your tax dollars at work, at least if you live in Colorado. For the ones that live outside the state, don't worry, you're footing some of the bill as well since the federal government supplements a lot of these programs. So where is the Colorado State politicians concerning these problems with illegal immigration? How about on the federal level - George Bush? Nance Pelosi? Harry Reid? How about Barak Obama? I'm not going to hold my breath.\nby ariesangel1329 on May 29th, 2012, 7:43 am #2509705\nThese websites offer real information about illegal/legal immigration problems that we are having. Please become informed. NumbersUSA offers you the ability to fax Congress for free. It also allows you to see what your elected official is doing, what bills are being sponsored, and the information to become informed. With 1 million legal immigrants arriving every year and the untold numbers of illegal immigrants, by the year 2100 we will be at 600 million people in the U.S. if immigration policy is not changed. We cannot support the 310 million we have now. Can you really imagine doubling the number of people we have now?\nhttps://www.numbersusa.com/content/\nhttp://www.fairus.org/\nariesangel1329\nby Professor Silly on May 29th, 2012, 7:58 am #2509732\nQuetzalcoatl wrote:\nProfessor Silly wrote: Much as it pleases the partisan cheerleaders to make claims about Democrats wanting to encourage illegal voting, it remains the case that finding a good solution for maintaining accurate voter rolls without disenfranchising citizens is in everybody's interest, regardless of party.\nRequiring identification and other proof of eligibility does not \"disenfranchise\" anyone. That is a liberal red herring. You can't so much as cash a check or get a library card in this country without basic state identification. You also cannot get on an airplane or enter a federal government buildilng[sic]. Do these restrictions \"disenfranchise\"? No, that was merely media hype.\nThere is no reason that there are loopholes in voting allowing such things, and especially with mail-in voting, there are huge gaps.\nThe Brennan Center for Justice just completed a study of the new election law changes from 2011 onward. From the executive summary:\nState governments across the country enacted an array of new laws making it harder to register or to vote. Some states require voters to show government-issued photo identification, often of a type that as many as one in ten voters do not have...Still others made it much more difficult for citizens to register to vote, a prerequisite for voting.\nThese new restrictions fall most heavily on young, minority, and low-income voters, as well as on voters with disabilities. This wave of changes may sharply tilt the political terrain for the 2012 election. Based on the Brennan Center\u2019s analysis of the 19 laws and two executive actions that passed in 14 states, it is clear that:\n\u2022 These new laws could make it significantly harder for more than five million eligible voters to cast ballots in 2012.\n\u2022 The states that have already cut back on voting rights will provide 171 electoral votes in 2012\u201463 percent of the 270 needed to win the presidency.\n\u2022 Of the 12 likely battleground states, as assessed by an August Los Angeles Times analysis of Gallup polling, five have already cut back on voting rights (and may pass additional restrictive legislation), and two more are currently considering new restrictions.\nStates have changed their laws so rapidly that no single analysis has assessed the overall impact of such moves.\nSpecifically looking at some of the recent ID requirements passed in three states and introduced in nine additional states (including Colorado; emphasis added):\n...proof of citizenship requirements exclude large numbers of eligible voters, pointing out that millions of eligible Americans\u2014at least 7% according to a leading study by the Brennan Center \u2014 do not have ready access to the documents needed to prove citizenship.\nAs Tennessee State Senator Thelma Harper said, \u201c[i]t hampers people who want to be a part of the system.\u201d\nRe: Disenfranchisement\nSo, how do these people cash checks, open bank accounts, pay rent, basically live?

Besides, it wouldn't break up families, at least not forcefully. The legal ones would have the choice to stay... Personally, I think that any children caught that has both parents that are illegal, should be deported with their parents, as the 14th Amendment was to assure children of \"slaves\" citizenship, since we forcefully brought them here, unlike the illegal, trespassing vermin that snuck across our borders...\nFirst, the act of crossing the border is not a felony. I know you said law breakers (which is correct), but I thought it is an important difference. The current ICE policy is to focus on violent offenders and felons for deportation. That does not mean that others will not be deported, but the administration is in sort of a holding pattern. Yes I know illegal is illegal.\nSince you know about the 14th amendment, then you know the history of the Supreme Court rulings regarding children born within the borders of the USA are by right of birth citizens. You may agree or disagree with the rulings, but they are currently our law.\nBecause of the law, we do have issues regarding deportation. It would be wrong to deport a citizen and thus it will not be done. That does not mean the parents cannot or should not be deported. The parents would then need to make a decision on whether the children would come with them or make arrangements for them to remain. This is one of the reasons for the focus on violent and felonious behavior as a priority in the deportation process.\nYour closing statement crosses the line though. Being an illegal alien is not vermin. Also, do you realize that about 40% never snuck across the border but entered legally on a passport or visa and have over stayed the constraints agreed to when they entered the country? Some are illegal by technical violations of visa rules and some are willful violations of the law. Another reason why the chant \u201cillegal is illegal\u201d is not really useful.\nacinorev wrote: It makes me very sad how ignorant some people are.

If you disagree with a particular statement, quote the member and disagree. In any case the use of the word \u2018ignorant\u2019 is not appropriate.\nThe reality is different from your post. You are required to have a driver\u2019s license to drive. You are required to learn the laws and rules of the road before applying for the driver\u2019s license. Operating a motor vehicle requires the insurance whether or not you have a valid operator\u2019s license. We would all be safer if those rules were followed, but I cannot accept the premise that changing the rules for qualifying to operate a vehicle will in any way lead to what you claim to be true.\nHaving a license does not assure us of insured drivers any more than we have only insured drivers today with licensed drivers. I also really doubt that the vehicle violations are due to the lack of a driver\u2019s license. I think that drunk drivers, speeding, and the reckless behavior are a result of individual decisions and not the lack of a license.\nYour statement about the expired visa I already addressed in the prior post. Any person with an expired visa needs to take personal responsibility to correct the problem. It is not the responsibility of the government or the citizens to do it for them.\nThanks for your first post and I hope I have not been too hard on you.\nThe problem is that deporting about 11.5 million unauthorized immigrants would be a wholly impractical and disruptive task. It's not going to happen.\nAre you nuts, Denver Post Editorial Board? To your way of reasoning there are so many people speeding out there.....ought to just have the cops stop enforcing speed limits.\nWhy don't you do a little investigative reporting on whether Colorado's existing laws directed at EMPLOYERS hiring illegal aliens are being enforced. Under Bill Owens and with a bi-partisan legislative effort, meaningful laws were enacted. They are only \"meaningful\" if enforced. Has any employer even been investigated? Has any employer been fined? Can the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment even do it's job?\nThe one thing that attracts and keeps illegal aliens here are jobs and all it would take is a little enforcement and some heavy duty fines and the word would spread that there is more to worry about than Federal ICE who only focus on deporting criminal illegal immigrants.\nThis is the attitude that keeps enforcement from happening....\"Golly gee, we have so many of them now that we just can't do anything but accommodate them and make life easier for them. Heck, we ought to just make 'em all citizens and be done with it.\"\n....\"Golly gee, we have so many of them now that we just can't do anything but accommodate them and make life easier for them.

It is the simplest alkane, the main component of natural gas, and probably the most abundant organic compound on earth. The relative abundance of methane makes it an attractive fuel. However, because it is a gas at normal conditions, methane is difficult to transport from its source.\nSo it is abundant. It is cheap. If it remains in the atmosphere, it will eventually be a problem if it is not already a problem. So what is the problem of having less methane again?\nI suspect the entire problem is with the energy companies being energy companies and not really with methane. The green wackos (I am assuming that not all greens are whacked out) think that any action forced on the energy companies to make carbon based energy more expensive is good. The flaw with that logic is the rest of the world does not listen to or obey the rantings of the greens.

Really? Is the difference not obvious?\nFinally, and most obviously, he believes the only way good forms of energy can be promoted is to label them \"renewable\" even if they're not. I agree that coal mine methane is a good source of energy. I also know it's not renewable. I acknowledge global warming is a critical issue but I also understand that all methods of combating climate change don't involve renewable resources.\nMethane gas from coal mining shouldn't be labeled as renewable because it's not renewable. That seems somewhat self evident. Are proponents so completely without any sense of creativity that they can't think of a way to promote its use through statute without calling it something that it isn't?\nMaybe what is most hypocritical is that an avowed opponent of climate change is basing his support of a fuel on the climate benefits of its use.\nI think Vince just likes attacking people, even when the basis of the attack is wholly unjustified - and yes, hypocritical.\nby w.f.m. on June 3rd, 2012, 7:56 am #2516991\nTypical Vince \"My money is green, that's the only green that matters to me\".

Vince didn't mention manure - you did. He mentioned landfills and waste water.\nTrying to get someone to defend what they did not say is one of the most dishonest debate tactics there is.\nWhy is methane from a landfill any more renewable than than methane from a coal mine? The landfill will eventually stop emitting methane, just as a coal mine will. To \"renew\" the methane supply from a landfill you will need to create a new landfill. That's as renewable as digging a new coal mine.\nTypical incoherence from the green, anti-energy crowd.\nsocrates wrote: Vince is wrong on a number of accounts.

We can argue semantics forever, but in the end I cannot see any purpose served by stating which CH4 source is or is not to be treated favorably. Methane is methane.

        "raw_content": "The ship that would serve in the Royal Australian Navy as HMAS Supply (I) was built by Harland & Wolf Ltd, Belfast, Northern Ireland. She was ordered as a war operations measure for the RAN as a result of a Government direction in 1951 requiring the armed services to prepare for mobilisation by 1953.\nA member of the Nepean Blue Mountains Sub-Section who served on the Supply\nHer keel was laid on 5 August 1952 and she was launched on 1 September 1954 by Mrs. Foley, wife of Captain JB Foley, RAN, the liaison officer for the RAN in the United Kingdom. A bottle of Australian wine was used to christen the vessel Tide Austral.\nThe subsequent easing of international tensions rendered her employment as a unit of the RAN unnecessary at the time of her completion in March 1955 and she was subsequently leased to the British Admiralty which operated her as a Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) between 1955 and 1962.\nIn 1962 the Australian Naval Board decided to add Tide Austral to the Australian Fleet and she commissioned in the RAN at Southampton on 15 August 1962 under the command of Captain GV Gladstone, DSC, RAN.\nHMAS Tide Austral only enjoyed a brief time as a commissioned ship of the RAN for on 7 September 1962 the ship was renamed HMAS Supply by Mrs. Becher, wife of Rear Admiral Otto H Becher, CBE, DSO, DSC, RAN. The name Supply was selected to commemorate the ship of the same name that accompanied the First Fleet to Sydney in 1788.\nTo ready Supply for her voyage to Australia several contingents of RAN personnel were flown to the UK to learn how to operate the tanker and acquaint themselves with the vessel generally. Following a brief period of workups, Supply sailed from Portsmouth on 1 October 1962 bound for Sydney where she arrived on 6 December in time for Christmas.\nAs a unit of the RAN fleet, Supply\u2019s role was to replenish other naval vessels at sea, thus giving the Fleet far greater range, mobility and flexibility. Replenishments at sea, or \u2018RAS\u2019 as they are known, are carried out almost anywhere at sea, day and night and in a wide range of weather conditions while ships are underway. The particular role of Supply was to provide fuel, aviation gasoline, diesoline and water to fleet units.\nThroughout the 1960's and early 1970's Supply participated in a broad range of Commonwealth and SEATO exercises during which time she visited numerous South East Asian ports. These visits proved popular with her crew following many weeks at sea exercising and on passage.\nIn 1969, in a first for an RAN replenishment ship, Supply was awarded the prestigious Duke of Gloucester's Cup for being deemed the RAN unit displaying the highest level of overall proficiency.\nHMAS Supply refuelling the Daring class destroyer HMAS Duchess and the Fast Troop Transport HMAS Sydney (III) enroute to South Vietnam, circa May 1968.\nOn 25 June 1973 Supply sailed from Sydney having received orders to support HMNZS Otago on a protest mission to observe French nuclear atmospheric tests taking place at Mururoa Atoll in the South Pacific. The two ships rendezvoused on 29 June when Otago was received alongside Supply for the first of several replenishment serials in connection with the operation. Later HMNZS Canterbury joined the protest action and she too was supported by Supply. Further details, and an expression of thanks to the crew of Supply from the New Zealand government, may be found in the 14 September 1973 edition of Navy News.\nDuring her long and diverse career, Supply visited the African continent, took part in the American bicentenary celebrations in 1976, visiting Hawaii, the US mainland and Canada, and was one of the many RAN ships that steamed at short notice to Darwin in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Tracy on Boxing Day 1974. As part of the Darwin relief operation she was loaded with generators, tents, medical supplies and building repair stores to assist the cyclone-stricken city. Many of her crew forged long lasting friendships with those they helped in Darwin.\nBy the 1980's Supply was fast approaching the end of her useful life, and although she was tired and old, those who served in her did so with and enduring affection for their ship. By 1985 a decision had been made to decommission Supply to make way for the new fast underway replenishment ship HMAS Success which was nearing completion at Cockatoo Island Dockyard in Sydney.\nDuring her career Supply steamed 667,421 miles at an average speed of 12.84 knots and completed 3401 underway replenishments at sea. Her sea time ended on 11 November 1985, Remembrance Day, when she entered Port Jackson, Sydney for the last time. She decommissioned on 16 December 1985.",

        "raw_content": "Displaying items by tag: human rights\nActivist Connects Loss of Culture to Climate Change\nby Winnie Hwo in Vancouver\nThe world is still catching up to Inuit activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier.\nA year before being appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2006, she presented a landmark legal petition to the Inter-American Council on Human Rights, linking the disastrous impact of climate change to human rights in the Arctic and urging the United States to set emissions limits and work with Inuit communities.\n\"Today, it's mainstream language \u2013 everybody talks about [climate change] as a human-rights issue,\" said Watt-Cloutier in 2010, when she was a teaching scholar at Bowdoin College's Arctic Museum and Arctic Studies Center. \"I think we've been successful in changing the discourse on this issue to making that connection.\"\nHer book The Right to Be Cold: One Woman\u2019s Story of Protecting Her Culture, the Arctic, and the Whole Planet was released last March. Later in the year, a UN Report on the same subject was presented at the Paris Climate Summit, stating that climate change and human rights are intricately linked and that recognizing this connection will help protect the fundamental rights of communities and people across the planet.\nThe book was a finalist for the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing in 2015 and British Columbia's National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction in 2016.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]Her story evolved with the discovery of her own strength and power through disappointments and losses.[/quote]\nWatt-Cloutier\u2019s story begins in the hunting and fishing village of Kuujjuaq, a coastal Inuit community in Northern Quebec's Nunavik region.\n\u201cDuring the short summer months, cloudberries, blueberries, arctic cranberries and black crowberries grow among the green leaves and tundra . . . In the winter, the landscape is transformed into a brilliant vista of ice and snow that stretches under the vast expanse of the blue Arctic sky.\u201d\nAt the age of 10, Watt-Cloutier was sent south to be \u201ceducated.\u201d She struggled with being away from her mother, grandmother, and the land that nurtured her, but later admitted that the experience of separation helped shape her role as an activist in defending and promoting the \u201cnorthern\u201d way of life.\nWatt-Cloutier\u2019s personal story and her message of our interconnectedness are powerful not because she went through a single life-changing event. Her story evolved with the discovery of her own strength and power through disappointments and losses.\nLike many young people, she had high hopes for herself. She dreamt of being a doctor and worked hard to meet that goal, yet it remained elusive.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]When the eco-system in the Arctic erodes and gradually melts away, so too goes the Inuit people\u2019s cultural identity.[/quote]\nWatching home disappear\nAfter returning home from Churchill, Manitoba, Watt-Cloutier worked as an interpreter, educator, and eventually a community advocate. Within her own generation, not only did she witness how environmental degradation and global warming took away her people\u2019s identity as hunters and trekkers, but also how it stripped them of their dignity and physical health.\nAs an immigrant from a former British colony, I do not need my environmental hat to understand the frustration and helplessness Watt-Cloutier felt as a young girl, witnessing the rapid disappearance of her traditional way of life in Canada\u2019s North.\nFor the Inuit people, everyday life is tightly knit with their natural environment \u2013 hunting, fishing, travelling by dogsled. When the eco-system in the Arctic erodes and gradually melts away, so too goes the Inuit people\u2019s cultural identity.\nWith colonization, climate change, and toxic pollution, the cold and pristine northern country Watt-Cloutier knew so well was quickly disappearing along with the melting ice and snow.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]\u201cWhat\u2019s happening today in the Arctic is the future of the rest of the world.\"[/quote]\nLinking global communities\nWatt-Cloutier\u2019s big break as a national and international advocate for the Northern indigenous people came when she was elected to lead the Inuit Circumpolar Council (ICC), representing Inuit people from Canada, Russia, Greenland and Alaska. Working closely with allies and NGOs, the ICC focused on negotiating a global treaty that would ban toxins known as POPs \u2013 persistent organic pollutants that travelled airborne from factory smokestacks in the south to the north.\nToxins leaving factories travelled fast in hot air. When they reached the cold North, they would freeze and stay there.\nNorthern wildlife tends to store more fat, and as it turns out, these toxic particles did well in fatty cells. They survived in the seals and whales that were eventually hunted and consumed by Northern indigenous people.\nWhen an Inuit mother breastfed her babies, the toxins were passed on to her children, ultimately harming the health of the entire Northern population. Watt-Cloutier\u2019s campaign ended with the signing of the 2001 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants to eliminate or restrict the production and use of POPs.\nToday, Watt-Cloutier continues to do what she does best \u2013 fighting for the rights of her people to live in a healthy environment. And she will fight the way she knows best \u2013 with strong words, clear ideas and succinct translation.\n\u201cWhat\u2019s happening today in the Arctic is the future of the rest of the world. In one lifetime, we Inuit have seen our physical world transform, the very ground beneath our feet shifted dramatically . . . As we head into stormier seas, we must ask ourselves, 'If we cannot save our frozen Arctic, how can we hope to save the rest of the world?'\u201d\nBah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed Community Condemns Imprisonments in Iran\nBefore reopening relations with Iran, the Canadian government should hold the Middle Eastern country accountable for human rights violations against minority religions, say some members of Canada\u2019s Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed community.\nOn January 27, 24 members of the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed faith, including two of Amir Parsa\u2019s family members, were imprisoned in Iran.\n\u201cWe know the political relationship between Canada and Iran is being restarted,\u201d says Parsa. \u201cMy expectation is that if Canada wants to restart their relationship with Iran, they have to make it based on an agreement that Iran will stop these violations.\u201d\nParsa says he learned about his relatives\u2019 arrests on Facebook after a list was published on a page he follows of the detainees and information on their sentences \u2014 which range from six to 11 years each \u2014 on the day of their imprisonment.\n\u201cWe already knew this was coming because they had been arrested in 2012, but they had both been released on bail,\u201d explains Parsa. \u201cWe were just waiting for the sentence.\u201d\nThe 24 imprisoned men and women range in age from 21 to 60 years old.\n\u201cThey were given very heavy charges,\u201d says Parsa. \u201cOne of them was accused of engaging in propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran.\u201d\nA representative of the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed International Community to the United Nations (UN) heavily condemned the verdict, stating the individuals were imprisoned for no other reason than their faith \u2014 a common occurrence in Iran, where the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed faith is not recognized in the constitution.\nParsa says it is not the custom of Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds to hide their beliefs, making it easy for the government to know who they are.\nEvaluating how Canada will re-engage\nFormer prime minister Stephen Harper\u2019s government suspended diplomatic relations with Iran in 2012. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau campaigned on the promise to reopen Canada\u2019s embassy in Tehran, and Foreign Affairs Minister St\u00e9phane Dion said this is just one step the new government is taking to restore relations with Iran.\nJohn Babcock, a Global Affairs Canada spokesperson, states the department is \u201ccautiously, but expeditiously, evaluating our process of re-engagement, but a precise timeline has not been determined.\u201d\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"][F]ollowing Iran\u2019s Islamic revolution, repression of Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds increased.[/quote]\nHe adds that Canada has been one of the strongest voices condemning Iran\u2019s human rights violations, including at the UN, where Canada has been the lead sponsor of the General Assembly resolution on the situation of human rights in Iran since 2003.\nThe Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed faith originated in Iran in 1844, making it one of the youngest religions in the world.\n\u201cThe most important thing is to remind ourselves all the time that the current system in Iran is a theocracy,\u201d explains Amir Hassanpour, an associate professor in the department of near and Middle Eastern civilizations at the University of Toronto. He adds that Iran recognizes Judaism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity as religions, but not the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed faith.\nAccording to Hassanpour, the reason why Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds are the most targeted religious minority is because they don\u2019t recognize the prophet Mohammed as the last prophet Allah sent, and in Islam there cannot be any other prophet after Mohammed.\nThis explains why, following Iran\u2019s Islamic revolution, repression of Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds increased.\nA difficult time for Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds\nHassanpour lived in Iran when the Islamic Republic was founded.\n\u201cIn 1979, Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds were required to renounce their religion and convert to Islam. They had to put an ad in the newspapers with a photograph of themselves saying they had renounced their religion and were not Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed anymore,\u201d explains Hassanpour.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]\u201cWhen we came back from summer vacation, our house was confiscated and our belongings were gone.\"[/quote]\nIt was a particularly difficult time for members of this religion, as dozens of Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds were killed or jailed; land, houses, shops and other belongings of the community were also seized. This was the case with Parsa\u2019s family.\n\u201cWhen we came back from summer vacation, our house was confiscated and our belongings were gone. We were left with two suitcases,\u201d recalls Parsa.\nThe family managed to live with family and friends for two years, eventually deciding to relocate to Turkey.\n\u201cWe couldn't get passports so we went over the mountains to Turkey, and claimed refugee status there,\u201d says Parsa. \u201cThen we waited for 15 months for the Canadian government to accept our refugee claim.\u201d\nParsa and his family came to Canada in 1999, when he was 18 years old, allowing him to study, as Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds are systematically denied access to higher education in Iran.\n[quote align=\"center\" color=\"#999999\"]In Iran there are currently over 80 Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds in prison out of an estimated population of 300,000.[/quote]\nNow 43, Parsa works as a computer engineer at a high-tech company in Ottawa. He recently sent a letter to Karen McCrimmon, his local member of Parliament for the Kanata-Carleton are, requesting to meet with her.\nAccording to the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed Community of Canada, only 30,000 Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds live in Canada, which may explain why many people in this country aren\u2019t aware of the existence of this faith, its followers or their unique set of challenges.\nIn Iran there are currently over 80 Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds in prison out of an estimated population of 300,000, according to the Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00ed International Community. In 2013, 49 per cent of the country's religious-minority related human rights violations involved Bah\u00e1\u2019\u00eds. This is despite promises made by President Hassan Rouhani to improve the human rights situation in Iran.\n\u201cEngagement does not mean that we agree with Iran\u2019s policies, but it does establish a pathway towards economic opportunity, dialogue and regional security,\u201d says Babcock. He adds that re-establishing relations with Iran would enable Canada to hold the country accountable on issues of human rights violations.",

        "raw_content": "Movie Warrior Savitri is based on the mythological story of Savitri and Satyavan and reflects how love and devotion can change the destiny and fate. But the movie lacks appeal, and just slogs with forced action.\nA contemporary adaptation of Hindu mythological tale of Satyavan and Savitri (found in Mahabharata), the film revolves around Savitri (Niharica Raizada), a loyal and devoted wife, who can go to any extent to save her husband Satya (Rajat Barmecha) from the clutches of death, even if it requires her to negotiate with Yama (Om Puri plays the God of death, the Yamraj).\nNiharica Raizada, is the granddaughter of renowned music director O. P. Nayyar. Shammi Kapoor's son Aditya Raj Kapoor plays Savitri's father and Gulshan Grover as Satya's blind dad. Panditji, who according to the Mahabharat was Narad Muni is played by Karamveer Chaudhari. The movie Director is Param Gill.\nThe Story, screenplay, characterization, set up and action sequences are all well-crafted, with impressive aerial shots of the Rajasthan\u2019s city Jodhpur. The first half takes quick pace, while the second half slogs with forced action. Actoress Niharica Raizada fits the bill and pulls off the action scenes with conviction. The women empowerment message stands out as well. However, the execution and editing, is choppy. Scenes look disjointed with no proper connect with each other. The location and plots resemble unrealistic which gives an appearance like a theatrical fantasy. Songs, too are pointless, the music is loud and shaking which do not match with it. The elongated love scenes are also awkward, since there is no chemistry between the lead actors. Therefore, this modern-day adaptation of Savitri and Satyavan pitted against Yamraj is a snooze fest.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cIn the full sense of the word, there are the dictatorships of capital in the UK, France, and Germany. The fact that some authoritarian personalities come to the fore in some countries does not change this class basis. The dictatorship of capital prevails in Turkey, too. Those who call Maduro a \u201cdictator\u201d have nothing to do with classes. They have a strange understanding of dictatorship. The Maduro administration could be criticised in many aspects, which we are doing when required. However, calling Maduro a dictator today means lending a hand to the imperialist coup\u201d\nsoL news interviewed Kemal Okuyan, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), about the recent developments in Venezuela, the Latin American country that is face to face harsh attacks of the US and its allies.\nSharing his party\u2019s views on what is taking place in Venezuela after the Donald Trump administration has recognized opposition leader Juan Guaido\u2019s self-claimed presidency, Okuyan described Guaido as a US-designated project amidst the calls from Washington for civil war or military coup in the country.\nUnderlining that Venezuela had reached a crossroads following former President Hugo Ch\u00e1vez\u2019s pro-people policies against the US imperialism, Okuyan said that the Latin nation could not move forward at the critical turning point. Okuyan also answered the questions of soL regarding what lies behind the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan government\u2019s support for the Venezuelan administration, and the ongoing debates in Turkey whether Nicol\u00e1s Maduro is a dictator.\nWhere do you think will the process go?\nThe competition within the imperialist world is charging energy into all of the entire tension fields every day. After a certain point, it might be impossible to control these tensions. A calculation error, an unexpected development\u2026 Therefore, the case of Venezuela may trigger a more comprehensive conflict. A very important development is taking place here; the axis of the US and the EU, which could not reach a synchronization in the cases of Crimea and Syria, has acted very quickly. There are many uncertainties, yet the European Union has somehow said, \u201cWe are rogue, too\u201d. On the other hand, they all together may be unable to carry through their move. This move may lead to the opposite way in Venezuela, and the people may move forward in order to solve the contradictions I have talked about. Above all, there is a highly politicized society. Attempting to discipline such societies with hunger would not produce the desired result all the time. After all, the working people of Venezuela will decide.\nThe debate in Turkey is going on over whether Maduro is a dictator; some people on the left-wing say that they are against the US imperialism, but Maduro is a dictator. Saying \u201cWe are on the side of the Venezuelan people\u201d whilst indicating to the dictatorship would not mean supporting the opposition?\nOne should carefully approach to the term of \u201cdictatorship\u201d whilst describing a government, a country or a person. Above all, it extremely personalizes the situation. It conceals the class characteristics of governments. Today, there is no country in the world, where dictatorship does not prevail. In the full sense of the word, there are the dictatorships of capital in the UK, France, and Germany. The fact that some authoritarian personalities come to the fore in some countries does not change this class basis. The dictatorship of capital prevails in Turkey, too. Those who call Maduro a \u201cdictator\u201d have nothing to do with classes. They have a strange understanding of dictatorship. The Maduro administration could be criticized in many aspects, which we are doing when required. However, calling Maduro a dictator today means lending a hand to the imperialist coup.\nSome explain the poverty of the Venezuelan people with Maduro\u2019s policies. However, the US has been funding the opposition for many years, turning famine into a common problem with economic sabotages. How do you evaluate such views although many reports and analyses have been published in this respect over the years, considering that it is very easy to access to information.\nDo they publish news about pre-Ch\u00e1vez Venezuela? Social injustice hit the top at that time. Many important steps in favour of the poor were taken in the 2000s, which no one can underestimate. The problem at this point is that leaving international monopolies injured is the most dangerous thing to do. Venezuela surrendered to its indecisive policies. If you completely break the back of capitalism, yes, you would face a bigger blockade but you can increase your resistance. You can also develop your economic relations by benefiting from the contradictions of the imperialist world. Cuba is doing so; it accomplishes despite being under pressure. Today, Venezuela\u2019s economy is very fragile and open to the interventions of the US imperialism. And the US says, \u201cYou\u2019ll starve if you don\u2019t bow down to me\u201d. It would be disgusting to help such a perception. It would mean making fun of the people\u2019s aspirations for establishing another world. Surrender to the US and the EU, then welfare comes? You see how the world looks like after it surrendered to imperialism, the US or the EU! Humanity will not bow down to this impudence. Yesterday was the anniversary; the German fascists had tried to siege Leningrad with starvation after they had failed to defeat the city during World War II. Hundreds of thousands had died of starvation, yet humanity did not die but resisted.\nWhat do you think about the support of AKP for Maduro? What is behind this support?\nThere are two basic issues. One is that Turkey\u2019s capital met Venezuela while searching for new economic resources in the crisis environment. You could understand the importance of the issue if you look up how many airlines in the world are flying to Caracas. From the point of Venezuela, economic relations with Turkey are big opportunities. Precious metals, construction, energy\u2026 It\u2019s not just that. [Turkish President] Erdo\u011fan does not want the US to be capable of changing governments whenever it wants. He saw what that means during the coup attempt [in Turkey] in 2016. This is very interesting in the case of such a politician who came to the power with the US support. Yet we need to underline a fact. It would be absurd to question or oppose the Venezuelan government just because the AKP supports it. Independently of its reasons, Erdo\u011fan\u2019s support for Maduro prevented NATO from acting as a bloc, which is something good. Later on, Tsipras showed a similar approach. Contradictive approaches from two NATO countries. Wish a bigger fracture for them\u2026\nIs there any similarity between the coup attempt in Turkey in 2016 and the developments in Venezuela?\nFrom some aspects, yes. One of the wings of the US administration was behind the coup attempt in 2016, and Fethullah G\u00fclen was assigned for this coup attempt. TKP stated this at that very moment. [Erdo\u011fan\u2019s government] knew about the attempt etc., these are some details after a certain point. July 15 was a pro-US attempt. \u201cWhy would the US make a coup against Erdo\u011fan?\u201d. This question sounds like a joke. [Turkey\u2019s former president and prime minister] S\u00fcleyman Demirel had been one of the most reliable politicians for Turkey\u2019s capital and the US, he had been ousted twice by unquestionably pro-US military coups. Those who claim that Erdo\u011fan staged a self-coup on July 15 presumably think today that all the ongoing problems with the US are \u201cfake\u201d. It seems that they are unaware of the intra-imperialist contradictions, and the scope of the ongoing crisis. Moreover, they are just seeing the weak aspects of the capitalist class in such a country governed by the AKP; we have a desirous, ambitious, fat capitalist class that is searching for new opportunities all the time, such a competitive class with high maneuverability. One should be very clear. We are against all the imperialist interventions and projects against Turkey. All the interventions of the US and the EU under the guise of freedom, democracy, peace, and solution would stand for anti-people attacks. If we do not stand against these attacks, how shall we object tomorrow if the same government or any other one refers to a \u201cstrategic partnership\u201d with the US? This also provides the government, the performer of the class dictatorship in Turkey, with big opportunities, helping it cover up its reactionary and pro-market stance by means of the term of \u201cforeign enemy\u201d. Turkish left should claim its anti-imperialist traditions to the end. Emancipation is at home, it will come with the rise of the working people in Turkey. Today, as we, TKP, are commemorating our 15 comrades who were murdered 98 years ago, we say: Down with imperialism, down with the order of exploitation!",

Governor Hickenlooper just signed this into law in the past week and this should be in effect at the Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles by August of 2012. This brings Colorado in line with the Federal DPPA (Driver Privacy Protection Act). With the continuing push by privacy advocates to close more and more public records nationwide, DMV record access is a subject that has been at the forefront of these discussions.

In the past month the rules for this program have been approved by the regulating agency, DORA. The next step in this program will be to begin the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and FBI background checks on potential applicants. The background check portion of the program will be kicked off any day now, with the first license scheduled to be issued in July of 2012.\nNew Colorado PI licensing Colorado has not had a private investigator licensing program since 1997 and currently is one of only a handful of states to have no licensing available. However, due to the collaborative work of several investigators last year, we were able get a voluntary private investigator licensing program passed into law. This program is being implemented at this time with the first license set to be issued in July of 2012. We at Night Moves of Denver have been supportive and extremely involved in this program.

        "title": "The Norwegian Information Security laboratory - Historic research drive in the field of cyber and information security",
        "raw_content": "Pressrelease 11th of June 2013\nIn its Report on National Security the Standing Committee on Justice stated that a national research centre for information security should be established at Gj\u00f8vik University College. Less than a week later a number of organizations accepted the challenge and established Centre for Cyber and Information Security at Gj\u00f8vik University College. The initiators include the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM), Politidirektoratet (the Directorate of Police), the Norwegian Police Security Service (Politiets sikkerhetstjeneste) (PST), the Norwegian Cyber Force (Cyberforsvaret), Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), Telenor, Statkraft, Statnett and Eidsiva, the Norwegian National Authority for Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime (\u00d8kokrim), Kripos, the National ID Centre, PwC and Oppland County. Besides, an invitation is open to other organizations to participate in the initiative. The new centre was launched in connection with NSM\u2019s 10th anniversary.\nThe research centre marks the beginning of a unique, innovative and historic effort in the field of cyber and information security, which will position Norway in a leading role. The new centre will be of both national and international importance.\nCentre for Cyber and Information Security at Gj\u00f8vik University College will build its activities on an existing strong environment in the field of information security. To start with, the initiators will allocate almost 14 man-years to the Centre, including the creation of ten new professorships. This will be a considerable strengthening of both teaching and research at the College.\n-In many ways this is historic. It is historic because it is the first time so many interested parties join forces to meet a competence challenge by investing in academia. It is historic that the nation\u2019s security organizations cooperate as closely as this. And the cooperation model as such, with strong and continuous participation by the user organizations, is unusual in Norway. I would like to commend the organizations for their commitment. They have thought and acted in a very innovative way and demonstrated unusual speed and resolve. As a nation we should be proud of what we see here today, says Morten Irgens, Vice Rector of Gj\u00f8vik University College.\nBuilding on a strong environment\nGj\u00f8vik University College has one of Europe\u2019s largest academic research teams in the field of information security and offers strong, specialized programmes of study in information security both at bachelor, master and PhD level. During the past year this environment has been mentioned in as many as four reports to the Storting and other reports. The College has also been entrusted with the task of organizing the national research school in information security. The establishment of the Centre also fits in with the Government\u2019s digitalization programme, where a \u201cdigitalization of public services\u201d is proposed. \u201cNorway aims at being in the forefront internationally in supplying digital public services to the general public and to business and industry.\u201d\nIn connection with the digitalization of critical infrastructure, it is very important to have a strong interdisciplinary focus, a good working environment, good cooperation and research to make society secure in the future. At the same time both Norwegian enterprises and Norwegian security authorities report about an increased threat level in the digital space, which means that this field of study will require increased effort in the years to come.\n-The Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM) has for a long time called for a strengthening of the education in the security subjects. We believe that supporting the creation of new professorships at Gj\u00f8vik University College will mean a substantial strengthening of the security situation in Norway, as well as increased competence, applied research and cooperation in this field of study, says Director Kjetil Nilsen of NSM.\n-The cyber threat is both a military and a civilian threat. Norway, the Armed Forces and my organization need a robust and world leading research centre in the area of cyber security where jointly we will be able to develop knowledge and competence, and strengthen our ability to meet current and future threats. By investing time and man-years in the Centre for Cyber and Information Security today, we will be able to profit on our investment in the form of an improved ability to deal with the fastest emerging threat in our time, says Major General Roar Sundseth, Commander of the Norwegian Cyber Force.\n-The Police see a need for strengthening the competence in the area of information security. Criminals to a large degree adopt new technology at the same time as ordinary crime leaves digital traces. It is important to avoid a gap in the competence between those who have dishonest intentions and us, who are to stop or investigate them. The Centre for Cyber and Information Security is an exciting initiative that we look forward to participate in in the time to come, says Reidar Humleg\u00e5rd, Director of Police.\n-PST looks forward to the establishment of the research centre for information security. It will contribute to the development of a competence environment that PST may also profit from in the longer term. We see that the intelligence services of other countries increasingly use digital tools and the Internet to steal business secrets and information related to research, development, plans and contracts. By strengthening the education in this field, we will be better equipped to prevent such illegal activity, says Marie Benedicte Bj\u00f8rnland, Chief of PST.\n-FFI is positive to degrees and programmes of study in ICT security being offered at universities and university colleges. There is a great need for people with competence related to security and this will probably increase in the years to come. We are very positive to the cooperation between central players to establish Centre for Cyber and Information Security. This initiative may strengthen both the cooperation on research and the recruitment to positions in this area, says Anders Eggen, Head of Department, FFI.\nGj\u00f8vik University College: Morten Irgens, Vice-Rector, Dean and Head of Research / Gj\u00f8vik University College - NisLab. 465 41 941.

        "raw_content": "Town: Haledon, New Jersey\nBruce Robert Baumgartner was born November 2, 1960 in Haledon. His parents, Lois and Bob, wanted him to get involved in sports, but he was too big for youth football and had no interest in baseball. He was more interested in building things and taking things apart, much like his dad, a diesel mechanic. This would serve Bruce well throughout his wrestling career, as he had a knack for breaking down the strengths and weaknesses of opponents, and fixing any flaws in his own performance.\nHowever, Bruce did not take up wrestling until his freshman year at Manchester Regional High School. Until then, his bouts were limited to house-wrecking tussles with his older brother, Rob. Bruce already weighed 190 pounds, but it took him a couple of years to understand how best to use his mountainous physique. As a senior, he was undefeated during the regular season, but lost in the semifinals of the state tournament.\nBruce was an impressive college prospect, despite the fact that he had never finished higher than third in the state tournament. He accepted a scholarship in 1978 from Indiana University, and devoted himself to becoming NCAA champion and winning an Olympic gold medal. Again, it took Bruce a while to put it all together on the college level. He reached the NCAA heavyweight final as a sophomore and junior, but lost both times. In 1981, at the AAU Nationals, Bruce lost to Dan Cook. He would not lose to a countryman again for more than 15 years.\nBruce went 44\u20130 as a senior and won the 1982 NCAA championship. He graduated with a record of 134\u201312. That spring, he married Linda Hochman, a trainer whom he had while she was taping his ankles\u2014no small accomplishment given the size of his ankles and how shy Bruce was. They would have four children.\nHeading into the 1984 Olympics, Bruce was reaching his peak. At 6\u20192\u201d and 270 pounds, he had the size, strength and agility of a grizzly bear. It was pointed out at various times in his career that the reason American wrestling lags behind the rest of the world is that people like Bruce end up playing football and making a killing in the NFL. At the height of his career, Bruce\u2019s greatest American rival was superheavyweight Tom Erikson. He beat him more than 20 times in a row.\nBruce was a silver medalist at the 1983 Pan Am Games in Venezuela and won bronze at the 1983 World Championships in Kiev. His first international gold came at the \u201984 Olympics in Los Angeles. He won gold at the Pan Am Games again in 1987 and 1991, and the World Champiosnhips in 1986, 1993 and 1995. He also repeated as Olympic champion at the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul.\nIn 1990, Bruce became the head wrestling coach at Edinboro University in Western Pennsylvania. Edinboro is a Division-II school in every sport but wrestling. In 1997, Bruce accepted the job of Athletic Director at Edinboro. Not surprisingly, it has remained an NCAA power. By then, he been honored in 1995 with the Sullivan Award as America\u2019s top amateur athlete\u2014and won silver at the 1996 Olympics for his fourth career Olympic medal.",

        "raw_content": "Survival of the Most Adoptable: Too Many Stray Dogs, Too Little Shelter Space\nBy Crystal Garner, May 30, 2014 2:48 PM\nCrockpot, a 6-month-old bulldog mix, is up for adoption. Over 25 million people adopted a dog or a cat last year. Yoohyun Jung | NYT Institute\nKnee-high to pedestrians just inches away, a wandering dog travels a Bourbon Street sidewalk on a recent Saturday night, companionless. On this night, it may not have shelter, but it\u2019s alive.\nStray dogs like this one are likely to be picked up by animal control officers from The Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which has a contract with the city. The society\u2019s facility can handle 131 dogs at any one time, with only 27 offered for adoption. This means euthanasia for many.\nIn fact, the shelter gets the most strays from June through September, when as many as 600 dogs come in every month to the society\u2019s shelter on Mardi Gras Boulevard, according to Ana Zorrilla, chief executive of the society.\nAnimal calls and pickups occur the most frequently from the Lower Ninth and Upper Ninth Wards, Gentilly and Mid City, Ms. Zorrilla said. When the shelter becomes overpopulated, even healthy, adoptable dogs become candidates for euthanization.\nMs. Zorrilla is left to answer the tough question: Who lives and who dies?\nA total of 50 dogs were put down due to a lack of space in 2013, Ms. Zorrilla said.\n\u201cWhen I say space, I mean they were healthy. They were sweet. There\u2019s nothing wrong with them,\u201d Ms. Zorrilla said. \u201cWe just don\u2019t have room on that given day. We have more animals coming in and need to make space for them.\u201d\nSociety officials would not say how many more dogs have been euthanized for reasons other than space, including temperament and health. Communications Director Alicia Haefele said she did not feel comfortable releasing the information because it is sensitive and could be misinterpreted.\n\u201cIf a dog shows human aggression or animal aggression, those are the ones we will always euthanize,\u201d Ms. Zorrilla said. The LA-SPCA has been euthanizing by injection for the last 30 years.\nThat shouldn\u2019t have to take place at all, according to Nathan Winograd, the executive director of the No Kill Advocacy Center, a national organization based in Oakland, Calif. Mr. Winograd, who came to New Orleans for a time after Katrina to help with animal rescue, said New Orleans should try to have more animals adopted. The animal advocacy center, founded by Mr. Winograd in 2004, is dedicated to making the country a \u201cno-kill\u201d nation.\nThe Louisiana Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has sharply reduced the number of euthanizations of pups like Jules, a 2-month-old pit bull mix.Yoohyun Jung | NYT Institute\n\u201cWhile about 2.7 million animals are killed every year in the U.S. because they lack a home, well over 25 million people add a new dog or cat to their home every year,\u201d he said. \u201cIf shelters did a better job of competing with our sources of animals and kept animals alive long enough to get into homes, they would not be killing.\u201d\nMs. Zorrilla said the society does offer other services, including adoption, spay and neutering, educational programs and outreach to low-income areas where numbers of strays tend to be highest.\n\u201cFor me it\u2019s not about the rhetoric or using the language \u2018no kill\u2019 to incite emotion as much as it\u2019s about about boots on the ground work and making a difference in the community,\u201d Ms. Zorrilla said.\nThe society in the last three years has dramatically reduced euthanizations by transporting animals to other facilities, Ms. Zorrilla said. According to the society\u2019s website, \u201cthese highly adoptable animals are not at risk of being euthanized because of capacity constraints.\u201d\nMs. Zorrilla estimates the cost for transport at $4,000 to $5,000 for 40 to 50 animals. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of money we\u2019re putting in to save animals and moving them up north, for adoption,\u201d she said.\nAccording to Ms. Zorrilla, breeds like pit bulls are a major part of the shelter\u2019s overpopulation. \u201cWe see a lot of pit bulls and pit bull mixes,\u201d she said. \u201cThey are harder to place.\u201d\nWith the pit bulls\u2019 chances for placement low, if they are not transferred or adopted they become more likely candidates for euthanasia. Most of the 50 dogs euthanized for space last year were pit bulls, Zorrilla said.\nOther animal facilities in the state deal with similar situations. In 2011, the Ouachita Parish animal shelter caught the public\u2019s eye when it announced that it was taking in more animals than it could handle and had to euthanize them, according to a report by KNOE-TV, a Monroe, LA station. The shelter director told the station that about 7,000 dogs were euthanized there in 2010.\nDavid Kirkpatrick, who is the media relations manager for the American Veterinary Medical Association, agrees animal shelters in Louisiana are overcrowded.\n\u201cMany would say that there are too many dogs because too many of them are relinquished,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd they end up being euthanized because they can\u2019t find homes.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "People who have experienced toothaches know how painful and frightening the situation can be. Mostly, many people don't know what causes toothaches, who they should contact in case of a toothache, and what they should whenever the situation is an emergency.\nIt is important for emergency toothaches to be handled immediately. Always contact your dentist immediately whenever you have a bad toothache, as the dentist can assist in preventing the problem from worsening. Almost every dentist has an emergency number in case their patient experiences a dental emergency outside of their working hours. In case you cannot reach the dentist, you can visit your nearest medical center for assistance.\nSo, What Should You Do At Home In Case You Have a Toothache?\nIn case you experience a toothache at home, and it's an emergency, there are certain things that can assist you in managing the pain. Regardless of the pain you are experiencing, it's always advisable to remain calm. Getting anxious makes your body trigger several responses which can worsen the pain. Therefore, it is always a good thing to calm down as you look for the necessary assistance.\nHere are some things that you can do to manage pain or discomfort in the event you experience a toothache while at home:\nPut one teaspoon of salt into a cup of boiling water. Use the solution as a mouthwash.\nUse dental floss, especially when you experience pain around a specific tooth. There is a possibility that there's something that got stuck in between the teeth, or in your gum tissue, that is causing pain.\nUse hydrogen peroxide to swish the affected tooth as it helps with killing any bacteria in the tooth as well as alleviating irritation.\nHow to Prevent Toothaches\nIn case you experience a toothache, you might start to wonder what you need to do to prevent toothaches from occurring in the future. The best way to prevent toothaches from occurring is to visit a dentist for a dental checkup at least twice a year. If you observe your dental appointments, then your chances of experiencing painful toothaches are reduced.\nHere are other tips for preventing toothaches:\nAlways ensure that you complete the treatment your dentist gives you to prevent other serious problems from happening in the future.\nFloss and brush your teeth daily. It is important to have strong dental hygiene as it helps in keeping your teeth healthy and strong.\nAvoid eating chewy or tough foods. Examples of these include chewy candy, hard candy, pretzels, jerky, and hard bread.\nFor more information and assistance, contact your local emergency dental care services.",

        "raw_content": "You are at:Home\u00bbNews In Focus\u00bbGenetics\u00bbScientists report CRISPR gene editing system restores effectiveness of lung cancer treatment\nScientists report CRISPR gene editing system restores effectiveness of lung cancer treatment\nThe CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system may be able to restore the effectiveness of first-line chemotherapies used to treat lung cancer by deleting or \u201cknocking out\u201d a gene in cancer tumours that helps the tumours develop resistance to the drugs.\nThat was the conclusion of a new study published in the journal Molecular Therapy Oncolytics by scientists from The Gene Editing Institute of the Helen F. Graham Cancer Centre & Research Institute at Christiana Care Health System.\nThe study reports that in both tissue culture and in a mouse, tumour growth stopped and there was a dramatic decrease in the volume of existing tumours when chemotherapy was combined with CRIPSP-Cas9, which was used to disable a tumour gene known as NRF2.\nPrevious studies have shown that the NRF2 gene controls cell functions in lung cancer tumours that helps them thwart the effect of chemotherapies that might otherwise reduce or eliminate them entirely.\n\u201cOur goal is to see if CRISPR can be used with chemotherapy to provide a safe, affordable way to give patients who are not responding to treatment at least a fighting chance against this very challenging cancer,\u201d said Eric Kmiec, Ph.D., the principal author of the study and the director of the Gene Editing Institute.\n\u201cWe believe that finding ways to use CRISPR to improve existing treatments will lead to some of the first benefits for patients while we tackle the vital ethical issues around the use of CRISPR for edits that can be passed on through DNA. This is an exciting step in the journey of exploring the health benefits of gene editing.\u201d\nThe study was led by Pawel Bialk, research scientist at the Gene Editing Institute, the nation\u2019s only CRISPR-focused research initiative situated in a community health care system.\nLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States.\nDr. Kmiec said there are chemotherapies that have helped patients achieve remission or at least live longer and enjoy a better quality of life by significantly slowing the progress of the disease.\nBut he said some patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, the most common form of lung cancer, are resistant to chemotherapy agents used to treat the disease or develop resistance after being exposed to the drugs.\nDr. Kmiec said the lung cancer work reflects an approach adopted by the Gene Editing Institute to move cautiously in developing medical applications of gene editing.\nBased inside the Helen F. Graham Cancer Centre & Research Institute at Christiana Care, his research team gains unique insight into the lives and needs of cancer patients and the health care professionals who care for them, which helps them to maintain a strong focus on doing what\u2019s right for patients.\nDr. Kmiec noted that while his team is working to move into human trials, the CRISPR application being developed for lung cancer does not involve directly editing a patient\u2019s genome \u2013 only the genes in the tumour.\nCRISPR stands for \u201cclustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats.\u201d\nIt was originally a defence mechanism found in bacteria that allows the bacteria to recognise and slice up the DNA of invading viruses.\nScientists have learned how to manipulate this mechanism so that it essentially can be programmed to find and remove a specific sequence of DNA code\u2013which acts like software for controlling biological activity in a cell.\nCas9 is a reference to an enzyme, sometimes described as a form of \u201cmolecular scissors,\u201d that is used by CRISPR to cut out a section of DNA code.\nDr. Kmiec said there are many efforts under way to modify CRISPR so that it can be used to not only remove or \u201cknock out\u201d a section DNA, but also to replace or \u201cknock in\u201d a new strand of code.\nBut he said there continues to be significant safety concerns around this type of CRISPR application.\nHe said for now, his team is focused on \u201cusing CRISPR in its native form, which is to just cut out a section of DNA,\u201d and to start with applications that do not directly impact the patient\u2019s DNA.\nHe said using CRISPR to do things like improving drug response represents the \u201clow-hanging fruit\u201d of CRISPR patient applications.\n\u201cWe think it\u2019s best to start with CRISPR therapies that involve relatively conservative uses of this powerful tool,\u201d Dr. Kmiec said.\n\u201cThis approach can also hopefully help contain costs and provide a level of safety and reliability that is reassuring for patients and increases the chance that insurance companies will provide coverage.\u201d\nDr. Kmiec said that as a CRISPR research program that treats patients from across the economic spectrum, his scientists are keenly aware of the challenges of making cutting edge medical treatments accessible and beneficial for all patients.\n\u201cThis work is another significant step on the pathway to FDA approval,\u201d said Nicholas J. Petrelli, M.D., FACS, Bank of America endowed medical director of the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute.\n\u201cThe Gene Editing Institute is taking a careful and methodical approach to developing innovative therapies. Dr. Kmiec and his team interact with our oncologists who deal with lung cancer every day on how gene editing could have a realistic impact and improve treatment. This multidisciplinary clinical/scientific team has been working together to develop a compassionate bench-to-bedside approach. Their laboratory benches are literally down the hall from our patients and the oncologist\u2019s offices.\u201d\nSource: Christiana Care Health System",

        "raw_content": "FILM: Ed Lewis vs Sonnenberg for Lewis's title; 1928; Boston\nPosted: Wed Nov 22, 2017 12:01 pm Post subject: FILM: Ed Lewis vs Sonnenberg for Lewis's title; 1928; Boston\n(EDIT: My post above this one contains the only known publicly available footage of the legend JOE STECHER wrestling in the modern era and the only available footage of him that's not badly deteriorated. Yet this post here has more views. I know I'm senile, but I'm stunned that people would rather view this post's link than that one.)\nHere are excerpts of a match held on June 30, 1928 in Boston, Massachusetts for Lewis's world's title. Lewis prevailed and Sonnenberg would have to go back to playing football for peanuts and wrestling as a challenger.\nSonnenberg continued to work on his one move: the rasslin' tackle-head-butt. The next year it paid off for him.\nThe footage opens with excerpts of one or the other of these two guys working out in preparation for the bout. Filmed silent:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiFV0aYgzNA&t=9s\nI'm no fan of Sonnenberg's but I link to what has become available and we can't ignore Lewis's matches. Go read Yohe's book on Lewis if you already haven't. It's for sale on Amazon and you can get $5 off a new copy today with the promotional code GIFTBOOK17 . (Make certain you enter the code and see it show results before you check out. Search for \"Steve Yohe\" to find the book on Amazon. It's well worth the money.)",

During his presentation, Moroney emphasized the value of the print newspaper and how his publication hopes to extend the runway of the print business through the digital era.\nThough he opened the presentation with some sobering statistics \u2013 the drops in circulation rates and ad revenue since the spring of 2008 - he used them to make a point. Newspapers must find new revenue streams, while protecting the content and value of their product, if they are to find a way toward sustainability. The balance of his talk focused on what his news company is doing to grow its brand and revenue.\nHe started by discussing home delivery price increases. Moroney\u2019s company studied price elasticity and determined the amount that they could raise prices without losing too much in circulation. The Dallas Morning News has successfully raised rates for the past four years netting significant additional revenue.\nMoroney also advocates commercial printing opportunities. As he put it, by leveraging the infrastructure that newspapers already have available, they can and should harness additional, potential revenue. His company currently prints a number of major newspapers.\nMoroney also discussed his newspaper\u2019s \u201cSubscriber Content Initiative,\u201d(he doesn\u2019t like the term paywall). While all readers can access AP online content (articles they can get multiple other places) for free, the company charges for original content. The fees vary, depending upon how many channels readers use to access content.\nFinally, Moroney emphasized the importance of maintaining the size of the newsroom as a necessary measure to ensure quality and original reporting.. He warned against taking pages out of the paper and encouraged publishers to focus on content that has a high value to their readers. Satisfying readers must be a top priority if we are to maintain and grow revenue into the next decade and beyond. View Moroney's presentation.",

        "raw_content": "Well hello Internet, what\u2019s shakin\u2019? It\u2019s your man Seven, back with another one of those block-rockin\u2019 blogs. This week, I turn to my softer side\u2014or harder side, depending on how you look at it.\nIn our modern lexicon, a word that I\u2019ve always loathed was \u201cfeminism,\u201d both for its meaninglessness and its ludicrous hypocrisy. Meaningless because its very definition proves its irrelevance. \u201cEquality between the sexes\u201d has been achieved. There is literally nothing a man is permitted to do in the West that a woman is not permitted to do. The gender pay gap has been debunked, and in point of fact there are many facets of our culture that favor women over men. But of course, as we all know, feminism doesn\u2019t mean equality. Feminism is about subjugating men as revenge for centuries of alleged male privilege, thus it is inherently hypocritical. Some men used to be mean to women, so now all men today must bow to the will of and take a backseat to all women, who demand that men prove they are doing their part to make up for the sins of their grandfathers. Well ladies, I\u2019m here to proudly declare that I\u2019m doing my part: I\u2019m a whoremonger. And there\u2019s nothing more feminist than the red-light district.\nIf women ever had the occasion to read this blog, I imagine some of them would disagree. \u201cGirls in bikinis shaking their booties for the entertainment of male gawkers is sexist! You\u2019re objectifying women!\u201d On the contrary, the gogo is a bastion of free-market capitalism for women to redistribute the wealth of men directly to themselves through their own volition. The gogo allows women to circumvent higher education\u2014they can succeed without paying exorbitant university fees and avoid an inherently sexist environment where women are underrepresented. It offers women who wouldn\u2019t otherwise have one a chance at economic independence. And where else can a woman wield as much power over men? Simply by virtue of her wiles, she can separate a man from his money without complaint or protest. Where else are women appreciated and worshipped purely for being women? Nowhere. The gogo celebrates all attributes of femininity. It promotes those aspects of womankind that are uniquely female.\nAnd what could be more feminist than an arena where a woman can say \u201cYes, I\u2019ll have sex with you, but only if you pay me.\u201d I mean, isn\u2019t that the x-rated equivalent of saying \u201cNo, YOU make ME a sandwich\u201d? The woman gets to decide whether or not it will happen. The woman sets the price. The woman controls the whole affair from soup to nuts. If that ain\u2019t female empowerment, nothing is. And I didn\u2019t come up with this idea. A popular feminist view of our day is that when a woman chooses to engage in sex for a reason other than procreation, she\u2019s taking control of her vagina and using it for her own ends. In the gogo, a woman owns her sexuality. It is a tool, a weapon, a source of power, a means of production. It is female sexual liberation iconified.\nIn a gogo bar, the men are the least-important people in the room. Literally every female\u2019s standing is above every male under that roof. The job of all the male staff in the gogo is to serve the needs and wants of the gogo dancers. Without those dancers, the male staff wouldn\u2019t have a job to go to. If you were to tell customers, \u201cThe girls won\u2019t be coming to work, but the bartenders and waiters will be here to serve you drinks,\u201d not a single patron would enter. The women in the gogo give purpose to the men in the gogo. That\u2019s feminism.\nThe first time I walked into a gogo, my feminist world view changed. Up to that point, I was a staunch anti-feminist, diametrically opposed to what seemed to be a war against men waged by enraged witches who hate males for being male. Then I saw the gogo. I sat down, with the glorious view of a platoon of powerful women. I felt small compared to that shimmering wave of female sexuality. Then a lovely young lass sat down next to me. The mere act of her attention disarmed me to the core. She put her hand on my hand, and I almost melted into the cracks between the cushions of my seat. She whispered in my ear and I unconsciously reached for my wallet. She asked me for a drink and I wanted to throw all my money in the air so it would rain down around her. If female empowerment was electricity, the gogos could light the city like they light up the darkest corners of my soul.\nSo to any woman who would accuse me or any other red-light hound of being a misogynist, or to anyone who would claim that whoremongers don\u2019t respect women, let me just say\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026fuck off. I lift up women with my hard-earned cash and my tired-out wang on a weekly basis. If they gave out medals for feminism, one should be hung round my sack. All six of the girls in my harem hold the cards. I merely present myself where and when they say, and give them whatever they ask for. You wanna see pure feminism in action? Catch Seven in the gogo. Mic drop.\nAnd until next time, fellow feminists, keep your balls clean, you pint glass full, and cheers to another day in the most pro-female place on the planet: the red-light district.

She trained as a nurse at Kingston General Hospital in 1935 and when she returned home, she and Fred started going together in earnest and Doris pursued her nursing career at Kingston General Hospital. When the couple married, they had two children. Through the years, Fred\u2019s job with the TD Bank took the family to Alliston, Barrie, where Doris worked with the Victorian Order of Nurses, and Kirkland Lake, finally ending up in Petrolia. The Gibsons were members of St. Paul\u2019s United Church and Doris was an active member of the U.C.W.\nFred passed away twenty years ago, but Doris has remained in the community. Her daughter, Doris, and son-in-law are nearby, although their two boys now reside in British Columbia. Both were in attendance to celebrate with their grandmother. Her son, Rick, and grandson, Cameron, who live in Uxbridge, were also slated to attend the event. In total, Doris has welcomed the arrival of four grandsons and two great grandchildren.\nWhen asked what her secret to long life is, she simply smiled and shrugged.

        "raw_content": "A08: The Romans\nThe lighthouse at Ostia (Portus Romanus), as depicted by Zemke [3]\nThe Romans built many lighthouses and lightstructures, and greatly relied upon them in the expansion of their empire, but all that work occurred after the Pharos of Alexandria had been constructed. The Roman Empire was very much in the early stages of its ascendancy in 300 BC, and it seems that the first Roman lighthouse was not constructed until the time of Augustus or Caligula, around the time of the birth of Christ at such locations as Ostia, the port of Rome, or Capreae, today known as the island of Capri. Therefore we quickly conclude that the Romans were definitely not responsible for building the first lightstructure.\nThe contributions of the Romans to pharology will be discussed in another article, but before we dismiss their lighthouse building so summarily, some additional comments should be made. Lightstructures feature prolifically throughout the artefacts of Roman civilisation, no matter where they are located. They can be found on a great many coins, mosaics and bas reliefs, as well as in all other forms of painted art and decoration. We conclude therefore that the concept of a lighthouse was deeply embedded in the Roman psyche. But the Roman culture was very much derived from the principles and practice of the ancient Greeks, and as we shall see below, it is entirely natural to accept that the earliest authors of Greek and Roman literature based their writings on events that have at least a small element of fact contained within them.",

        "raw_content": "Pope Francis Urges G20 Leaders Against Syria Strike\nPosted from International Business Times\nPope Francis has urged world leaders to reconsider a direct military intervention in Syria. In an open letter to Russian President Vladamir Putin, who is hosting the G20 summit, Pope Francis asked the Russian president and other world leaders to consider taking a nonmilitary solution to the Syrian civil war.\n\u201cTo the leaders present, to each and every one, I make a heartfelt appeal for them to help find ways to overcome the conflicting positions and to lay aside the futile pursuit of a military solution,\u201d Pope Francis wrote in the letter. \u201cRather, let there be a renewed commitment to seek, with courage and determination, a peaceful solution through dialogue and negotiation of the parties, unanimously supported by the international community.\u201d\nThe Pope urged against armed conflict in general, stating that the war would stall economic progress and possibly cause more violence in the future.\n\u201cWithout peace, there can be no form of economic development. Violence never begets peace, the necessary condition for development,\u201d the Pope continued. \u201cIt is regrettable that, from the very beginning of the conflict in Syria, one-sided interests have prevailed and in fact hindered the search for a solution that would have avoided the senseless massacre now unfolding.\u201d\nEarlier in the week, Pope Francis also took a hard line against chemical weapons. \"War brings on war! Violence brings on violence,\u201d the Pope said with raised hands during an appearance in St. Peter's Square. \u201cWith utmost firmness, I condemn the use of chemical weapons. I tell you that those terrible images from recent days are burned into my mind and heart.\u201d\nDuring the same appearance, Pope Francis called for a worldwide day of prayer and fasting in response to the Syrian civil war. He has called on Catholics, other Christians, nonbelievers and anyone who is a \u201cman of good faith\u201d to take part in the fast and attend a prayer vigil in Vatican City on Sept. 7.",

        "title": "A BRIEF HISTORY OF PALM HARBOR",
        "raw_content": "Ozona and Palm Harbor, on the coast just north of Dunedin, have interesting histories. Both Ozona and Palm Harbor were originally settled by J.C. Craver. According to Craver's diary, still in the family, he came here in the winter of 1877 upon the advice of his physician. A post office commission under the name of Bay St. Joseph was granted in 1878, this being the earliest written record of either community. The name Bay St. Joseph was used only a short time before Yellow Bluff replaced it. But that name proved relatively short-lived, as a few years later its negative connotation with the yellow fever epidemic gave way to its present name Ozona , meaning \"pure air.\" Palm Harbor was originally called Sutherland after a post office was granted in 1888, the same year the railroad came through (the name was switched to Palm Harbor in 1925 - Editor). Sutherland boasted two beautiful hotels, the larger one becoming Southern College in 1902. It sat high on the bluff overlooking Sutherland Bayou and the Gulf of Mexico. Sutherland was thought to be named after Duke of Sutherland, who visited these parts after landing at Tarpon Springs in 1887. Local pioneers dismiss this coincidence, pointing out that the name Sutherland is a shortening of Southern Land and Development Company, the group which originally platted the community in 1888. Areas pioneers included the Whitehursts, the Hollands, the Tinneys, the Suttons, the Thompsons, and the Wilsons.\nSOURCE: \"Clearwater: A Pictorial History\"\nby Michael L.

Again a veiw of Sutherland can be seen in this photos, this time with the other town Hotel on the right and Hog Island in the distance. Courtesy of Jeff Cannon.\nThe view of Sutherland circa 1920 was taken from the cupola of the women's dormitory building at Southern College. Looking down unpaved Florida Avenue out over Sutherland bayou, with the Gulf beyond, one may see the wooden sidewalk on which students could walk all the way out to Pig Island for picnics and \"surf bathing.\" Originally, the means of transportation down to the dock was a mule-drawn \"bob-tailed streetcar.\" The buildings in the foreground survive as two of the last remaining structures from Palm Harbor's early days.\nCourtesy of the Wallace Collection.\nThe old San Marino Hotel, with its towered ends and central cupola overlooking Sutherland Bay, was occupied by Southern College in 1920 when this picture was taken. This tranquil scene was interrupted on January 29, 1921, when a mysterious fire destroyed the beautiful structure. Originating in Orlando in 1883, Southern College was originally known as Wesleyan Institute. The college was moved to Leesburg, where it became the Florida Conference College in 1886. After its move to Sutherland (now Palm Harbor), it became known first as Florida Seminary in 1902, and then as Southern College in 1906. At that time, Southern College was reputedly the southernmost college in the United States. After the fire, E.T. Roux, owner of the Clearwater Beach Hotel, offered his facility for the homeless college. The facility burned there after one season, and the college was moved to Lakeland, where it was named Florida Southern College. Courtesy of the Wallace Collection.\nHotel San Marino in Sutherland ca. 1893 just after completion of construction. Notice the wheel barrow and the men still working on the fountain that used to be in the front courtyard of the hotel. Near the boardwalk in the distance is Hog Island, a favorite spot for the local. Courtesy of Jeff Cannon.\nOnce a hotel, the beautiful Gulf View Apartments, with its towered cupola overlooking the Gulf, stood in the tiny town of Sutherland (later Palm Harbor) on the north side of Florida Avenue across from Adair's Grocery Store. Long since torn down, it, along with the Southern College building, represented Sutherland's grandiose dreams which were never to be.

        "title": "[UPDATED:] How John Kasich & JobsOhio Got Bob Evans\u2019 CEO Fired",
        "raw_content": "[UPDATED:] How John Kasich & JobsOhio Got Bob Evans\u2019 CEO Fired\nBy ModernEsquire On May 29, 2015 \u00b7 4 Comments\nThis is the true story of how John Kasich and JobsOhio got one of its own inaugural board members fired and left Ohio taxpayers with giving the company an $8 million subsidy to boast the stock price to benefit a Swedish billionaire.\nIn 2011, first term Governor John Kasich was desperate to change the subject. In the first year of his term, Kasich already had approval ratings in the mid-30s after picking a fight he couldn\u2019t win against working families with SB 5, a bill that would have essentially eliminated the right of police officers, firefighters, teachers, and government workers to effectively engage in collective bargaining. With data showing that Ohio\u2019s economic recovery in 2010 was taking root and continuing, Kasich needed to do something that would allow him to claim he had anything to do with Ohio\u2019s improving economy. With widespread bipartisan criticism in the General Assembly and nearly universal criticism by Ohio\u2019s newspapers of the lack of transparency proposed in his new privatized JobsOhio economic development agency, Kasich also needed evidence that his new model for job creation was working \u201cat the speed of business.\u201d\nSo over the span of a few months, Kasich held press conferences in which he boldly claimed that his Administration had \u201csaved\u201d American Greetings, Diebold and Bob Evans from leaving Ohio\u2026. and all it took was the State and local authorities to basically cover the costs of building a brand new corporate headquarter campus at no expense to the companies (Bob Evans only got a partial subsidy of its costs, but American Greetings and Diebold would incur no expense). Ohio laws shielding such deals from public records requests had not yet gone into effect as JobsOhio was still being constructed. As a result, newspapers will able to show that in each case the threat of the companies leaving were overstated to actually nonexistent.\nIn Bob Evans case, the then-called Ohio Department of Development admitted that Bob Evans had no offer of incentives from any other state to relocate. Columbus Mayor Mike Coleman publicly said that company officials had told him that they no intention of leaving the state. Regardless, Governor Kasich gave Bob Evans $8 million ($400,000 per mile) to move its corporate headquarters to New Albany and to save its then CEO some commute time in a deal in which Bob Evans was not legally committed to create a single new job. Even worse, we uncovered that the construction of the new headquarters was already well under way when Kasich announced the deal. So basically, Ohio was subsidizing a project that was already happening.\nAt the time, Bob Evans CEO Steven Davis couldn\u2019t have been happier with Governor Kasich and JobsOhio. Not only did Davis be happy to be used as a photo op for Governor Kasich and his maxed out donor/head of economic development Marc Kvamme (who was able to leave JobsOhio after obtaining a questionable $50 million investment by OSU for his new venture capital firm), Davis donated $10,000 to Kasich campaign in the first term and was on the inaugural Board of Directors for JobsOhio.\nHeck, Davis even appeared in a promotional video praising JobsOhio and Governor Kasich\u2019s willingness to be so helpful in building his company\u2019s new headquarters closer to his house:\nBut then American Greetings back out of the deal and decided to lay off workers and give its CEO a raise before going back to a private company. Diebold\u2019s deal allowed them to lay off 20% of its workforce at the location, but it still had back out of the deal because it laid off more than 20% of its employees there within the first year. But hey, at least that Bob Evans deal worked out right?\nWell, [spoiler alert] no.\nYesterday, Bob Evans announced it was looking to sell its brand new headquarters in the hopes of leasing the property back from its new owners. Now, why would you be willing to sell the house you own with no mortgage on it in order to rent it back? Well, the only reason you would do that is if you were looking to generate some fast cash. And that\u2019s exactly what Bob Evans wants to do. As the Columbus Dispatch explains:\nThe properties would be leased back to the company, which would use the proceeds of any transaction to fund $150 million worth of stock buybacks, including $50 million scheduled for Monday.\nThe headquarters cost $46.5 million to build. The sleek prairie-style building sits on 40 acres along Smith\u2019s Mill Road. Activist shareholder Thomas Sandell, who won four seats on the company\u2019s board last year, criticized former CEO Steven Davis for the lavishness of the headquarters.\nSandell, a Swedish billionaire who lives in New York, used the new headquarters and the company\u2019s ownership of a jet to discredit Davis\u2019 decision-making. The CEO was dismissed in December.\nBob Evans sold the jet, at a loss, last year.\nYou read that correctly, a Swedish billionaire stockholder was so upset over the new corporate headquarters he used his shares to leverage four seats on the Board of Directors to force Davis out as CEO of Bob Evans and force them to sell their plane at a loss and agree to lease back its own headquarters simply so the company would have the capital to buy back its stock, raising its price. Davis had resisted the billionaire\u2019s move to force the company to lease back its own headquarters simply to buy back its stock at a premium as far back as 2013.\nOh, and the company is doing this at the same time it\u2019s closing twenty restaurants causing those employees to lose, as Governor Kasich put it once, what \u201cshabby benefits\u201d they had.\nWe don\u2019t know whether the Bob Evans deal contained any clawback terms that would allow the State to recoup the $8 million in incentives it gave in the event that it would turn around and use its new buildings as a way to raise capital to benefit a Swedish billionaire or not. But we know this, John Kasich\u2019s used $8 million in taxpayer money to subsidize what has amounted to nothing more than a convoluted path of causing employees at 20 restaurants to lose their jobs while increase the value of a Swedish billionaire stockholders shares in Bob Evans. Oh, and he got one of his inaugural JobsOhio board members/campaign donors fired.\nAnd this guy wants to be President?\n[UPDATE:] At a press conference about today\u2019s announcement about Amazon building a cloud data center in central Ohio, Governor Kasich was asked about the Bob Evans deal as you can see from this video from Marc Kovac of Dix Newspapers. Kasich claims his is the first Administration to do clawbacks in economic development deals. That\u2019s not true. The Ohio Attorney General\u2019s Office notices that Governor Strickland signed into law legislation in 2008 that allows the Attorney General to pursue clawbacks when businesses fail to deliver on economic development incentive deals. (See, pg. 3) Second, note that Kasich does not say with any real certainty that a clawback provision does apply. He simply vows that if it does, they will pursue it. So, again, we still don\u2019t know whether $8 million in state taxpayer dollars are going to essentially subsidize this Swedish billionaire\u2019s stock buyback demands or not.\nBasic Kasich: Try To Fool All The People All The Time Mr. Governor\u2019s False Caring For Low Wage Scrub Ladies And Room Cleaners",

Faculty duties are set forth in Article IV. Faculty Responsibilities, and the Department of Anthropology expects its faculty to live up to those responsibilities. Within the context of the Faculty Code of Conduct, the duties and expectations of anthropology faculty and the means by which they are evaluated are presented below. Faculty undergo three kinds of evaluations: (1) an Annual Performance Evaluation review performed by faculty peers (an outcome of this evaluation is data for the annual merit salary process), (2) a Progress Toward Tenure Review (PTTR) carried out by an appointed faculty review committee, and (3) a review for Promotion and Tenure (P&T). Whereas evaluation criteria are generally the same across the different reviews, administration responsibilities and procedures vary.\nStatement of Performance Expectations \u2013 Allocation of Effort\nFollowing College of Liberal Arts and Sciences guidelines, all anthropology faculty members are expected to devote approximately 40 percent of their professional endeavors to teaching and advising; 40 percent to research and scholarship; and 20 percent to service. Whereas this distribution of time is most common, flexibility exists to allow tenured faculty to reallocate responsibilities to the extent that changes do not undermine the department\u2019s teaching mission.\nThe normal duties of a full-time faculty member on permanent appointment include, but are not limited to, teaching two courses per semester, advising undergraduate and/or graduate students, serving on and chairing undergraduate honor\u2019s theses, master's and Ph.D. committees, and participating in the annual graduate student reviews.\nQuality of both undergraduate and graduate teaching is essential to the mission of the Department of Anthropology; neither can be judged more important than the other. A faculty member's performance as a teacher cannot be evaluated by any single formula, nor can it be easily quantified. As a consequence, any evaluation of faculty teaching may be based on many factors.\nFactors considered in developing an overall evaluation of teaching performance may include, but are not limited to: [1] Standardized Teaching Evaluation Forms (e.g., the University approved \u201dStudent Survey of Teaching\u201d forms and the Anthropology Department\u2019s Supplementary Teaching Evaluation Form); [2] peer reviews; [3] teaching awards; [4] enrollment figures; [5] serving on graduate student committees (e.g., orals, written exams, and dissertations); [6] advising; [7] development of new courses; [8] updating courses; [9] new and innovative approaches; [10] course coordination (multiple sections); and, [10] outreach (e.g., off-campus, Internet, and correspondence courses).\nAll faculty members in residence are expected to advise undergraduate students during the advising period and throughout the year.\nAll graduate students will be provided an advisor who is willing to work with the student.\nDuring the two-week period in the middle of the official college advising period, faculty members will provide a detailed schedule of their available advising times. These schedules will be placed in the main office, and students will sign up for specific open times. Each faculty member will allocate open time for advising. It is suggested that at least ten hours over the two week period be open for potential advisees.\nFaculty members are expected to conduct and disseminate research and pursue funding opportunities. The Department of Anthropology encourages its faculty to pursue fieldwork or research opportunities as frequently as possible. To ensure that the teaching schedule of the department is maintained, requests for research leaves should be submitted to the chair well in advance of the anticipated leave. The chair shall not endorse a request when the proposed leave will seriously impair the overall teaching capacity of the department. As in teaching, no simple mechanism can be used to evaluate the quality of research produced by a faculty member. Research performance is assessed in the following three areas, ranked in order of importance:\nPublished books, chapters and articles, edited media compilations (audio and video), research reports, exhibits, peer-reviewed World Wide Web publications, annotated databases, special lectures or colloquia, papers presented at professional meetings, presentations to local or regional audiences of scholarly significance. Although peer-reviewed books and articles are weighted most heavily, substantial research contributions often appear in other outlets. In such cases, an explanation of the nature and value of the contribution should be submitted.\nFieldwork; sponsored research; grant, contract, or fellowship applications submitted; and manuscripts in progress.\nContribution of research to the university, profession, and larger community\nFinancial support for students, stimulation of areas of research, invited lectures, media interviews, press coverage, consulting in areas of research expertise, and integration of research with teaching are among the ways research contribution is determined.\nAwards received for research, (e.g., KU Higuchi Research Awards).\nDepartmental service is required of all faculty members including, but not limited to, attendance at faculty and department meetings as well as participation on department committees. Service to the college; university; and the profession (locally, nationally, and internationally). Especially important in evaluating faculty service are the following:\nUniversity service, including participation on departmental, College, and/or University committees.\nProfessional service outside of the University, including participation in community, state, regional, national, and international activities. Such participation encompasses activities such as manuscript and journal reviewing and editing, external grant reviewing (on panels and ad hoc) and serving as an officer in a professional society.\nService outside the academy is also recognized.\nFor a complete, detailed listing of the multiple sources of data that comprise the evaluation categories for the faculty evaluation process, see Appendix B.\nAcceptable Level of Performance\nOn the basis of information provided in the evaluation portfolio (Appendix B), the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) will assess each faculty member\u2019s performance in the responsibilities of teaching, research, and service on a scale of:\n10 points: excellent\n8-9 points: very good\n6-7 points: good\n5 points: marginal\n4 points & below: poor\nEvidence of \u201cpoor\u201d performance in any of the three areas of responsibility will lead to intervention or will trigger the process for failure to meet academic responsibilities. If a faculty member receives a score of 5 or below in any category, the chair will record an \u201cunsatisfactory\u201d for that category in the formal annual evaluation letter that is sent to the faculty member. Sustained failure to show progress following a period of corrective action or intervention or three (3) consecutive ratings of \u201cunsatisfactory\u201d will place an individual at risk for a recommendation for dismissal.\nThe Department of Anthropology expects faculty to devote equal attention to teaching and research. When evaluating faculty performance, the department applies the weights of 40 percent for teaching, 40 percent for research, and 20 percent for service to the university, community, and profession. These weights are the same for tenured and non-tenured faculty, although the department recognizes that the specific contributions of faculty members to the department\u2019s mission will differ depending on career stage.\nChanges in the standards 40/40/20 allocation of effort for a set period of time can be initiated by the tenured faculty member or department chair. These changes can be short- or long-term and must correspond to changes in work-load not just evaluation criteria. Reasons for alterations can include short-term items such as funded research or longer term career-stage issues. Faculty members are not allowed to reduce their teaching or research to less than 10 percent on permanent DAE agreements. Departmental needs take precedent over individual needs when making decisions to alter a faculty member\u2019s allocation of effort; such redistribution must be consistent with the best interests of the unit. The most likely occasion for consideration of such changes is in discussion between the chair and the individual faculty member following annual performance evaluations, or sooner so that appropriate arrangements may be made at the unit level for the coverage of course offerings. Changes in faculty effort are to be negotiated and agreed upon before the start of the next academic year. Any individualized changes in faculty allocation of effort will be negotiated with the chair and documented in the faculty member's personnel file.\nFor temporary DAE agreements (one academic year or less), the DAE is ultimately approved by the chair of the department. For permanent DAE agreements (lasting one year or beyond), approval must also be sought from the appropriate contact dean in the college. All Differential Allocation of Efforts are reported annually to the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences Dean's Office. For permanent DAEs, the supporting documentation is also provided to the College and the Provost's Offices. Agreements for long-term DAEs must be reviewed every three years.\nFor additional information, please see the University Policy on Differential Allocation of Effort (DAE).\nFaculty performance evaluations are conducted annually by a Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) comprised of three faculty members selected in alphabetical rotation. This Faculty Evaluation Committee is established in the fall semester when departmental committee assignments are confirmed. Committee members serve two-year terms. Individual committee members do not participate in their own evaluation, which is conducted by the remaining two committee members. The department chair is not a member of the Faculty Evaluation Committee and does not participate in its deliberations.\nAt the first faculty meeting in the spring semester (usually in January), the chair will announce deadlines for submission of materials for the Annual Performance Evaluation review.\nNOTE: Faculty are responsible for annually maintaining their PRO record, which is also accessed by administration for reports such as the College snapshot of departmental productivity. PRO provides an annual activity report and faculty are advised to view and update their PRO reports before submission of the faculty member\u2019s portfolio to the unit. In classifying your work as major and minor, please bear in mind the definitions in the unit\u2019s Promotion and Tenure Guidelines. During January - February, each faculty member is responsible for developing a portfolio documenting both quantity and quality of effort in teaching, research, and service for the previous calendar year in accordance with Appendix B: Faculty Evaluation Categories for Annual Faculty Review. This portfolio is submitted to the Faculty Evaluation Committee by no later than mid-March. This time frame allows for sufficient time for the written evaluation report to the faculty member and the opportunity for discussion of the report prior to the timeline established for merit salary decisions.\nIf a faculty member fails to submit information for the previous calendar year, that person's performance shall not be evaluated. Furthermore, the recommendation from the evaluation committee to the chair will be that no merit salary increase should be recommended. In addition, that faculty member\u2019s performance for the year will be deemed unsatisfactory in all three categories (teaching/advising, research, and service). If a faculty member fails to submit materials for two consecutive years that faculty member\u2019s performance shall be evaluated as \u201cpoor\u201d or \u201cunsatisfactory.\u201d\nThe portfolio materials are submitted annually for review according to Appendix B: Faculty Evaluation Categories for Annual Faculty Performance Evaluation Review. In the Department of Anthropology, a committee (FEC) of three faculty members reviews and evaluates the faculty member\u2019s portfolio. The quantity, quality, significance, and impact of performance are evaluated within the context of the faculty member\u2019s specific academic responsibilities, including consideration of differential allocation of effort, and discipline expectations and standards.\nEach faculty will be assigned the weight of 40:40:20 to the responsibilities of teaching/advising, research, and service respectively for the evaluation; the exception would be those faculty who have a different DAE that has been negotiated and agreed upon by the faculty member and chair. If a faculty member has an official \u201callocation of effort\u201d that is different than the normal 40:40:20, these different percentages will be used to evaluate the faculty member\u2019s contributions to the university and to later recommended the awarding of any merit.\nEach faculty member is evaluated on the basis of an account of activities in teaching/advising, research, and service supplied by that faculty member.\nTeaching is a primary function of the university, which strives to provide an outstanding education for its students. The evaluation of teaching includes consideration of syllabi, course materials, and other information related to a faculty member\u2019s courses; peer and student evaluations; a candidate\u2019s own statement of teaching philosophy and goals; advising of undergraduate and graduate students; public representations of teaching; and other accepted methods of evaluation, which may include external evaluations.\nResearch performance is assessed in the following three areas, ranked in order of importance: (1) Published books, chapters and articles, edited media compilations (audio and video), research reports, exhibits, peer-reviewed World Wide Web publications, annotated databases, special lectures or colloquia, papers presented at professional meetings, presentations to local or regional audiences. Although peer-reviewed books and articles are weighted most heavily, substantial research contributions often appear in other outlets. In such cases, an explanation of the nature and value of the contribution should be submitted. (2) Research in progress: Fieldwork; grant, contract, or fellowship applications submitted; awards received; manuscripts in progress. (3) Contribution of research to the university, profession, and larger community: Financial support for students, stimulation of areas of research, invited lectures, press coverage, consulting in areas of research expertise, and integration of research with teaching, are among the ways research contribution is determined.\nDepartmental service is required of all faculty members, including, but not limited to, participation on department committees as well as attendance at faculty and department meetings. Service to the University; College; profession; local, national, and/or international communities is expected. Especially important in evaluating faculty service are the following: (1) University service, including participation on departmental, College, professional, or University committees. (2) Professional service outside the University, including participation in local community, state, regional, national, and international activities. Professional service encompasses activities such as reviewing articles for journals or grant applications for funding agencies; editing; and serving as an officer in a professional society. (3) Service outside the academy is also recognized.\nThe evaluation consists of a score from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 10 in each of the categories of teaching, research, and service. These scores, together with any written comments, are recorded on the Faculty Evaluation Results form, (see Appendix C) by the Faculty Evaluation Committee.\nEach faculty member is provided with a copy of the Faculty Evaluation Results form and has the right to meet with the FEC to review the evaluation in case of disagreement. At this time, the faculty member also has the right to add additional information, as appropriate, to the evaluation record. The FEC will announce to all faculty the days and times the committee is available for this \u201ccheck-back\u201d procedure. After all disagreements have been discussed and the FEC\u2019s evaluations are finalized, the FEC submits its evaluations to the chair. The numerical evaluation scores are final, and the chair cannot intervene to adjust the final evaluation scores.\nBy mid-April, the chair will receive from the Faculty Evaluation Committee Appendix C: Faculty Evaluation Results by the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC) for each faculty member in the department. The results of each faculty member\u2019s evaluation are then summarized by the chair in a formal letter to the faculty member based on the quality, quantity, and impact of the work in the three areas of responsibility. The scores and written comments, as well as any information about expectations of the position, progress toward tenure review and promotion and/or tenure review, any suggested strategies for improvement or renewal, etc. are also documented in the letter. Faculty members have the right to schedule a meeting with the chair to discuss their annual evaluation.\nIn cases where improvement in a faculty member\u2019s performance is warranted, the chair will indicate, in specific terms, in writing, where the faculty member\u2019s evaluations are unsatisfactory (i.e., marginal and poor.) The faculty member and the chair will meet to discuss any extenuating circumstances associated with the unsatisfactory evaluation and develop a written plan outlining strategies for self-improvement or external intervention and development strategies. A copy of the written evaluation summary is then maintained in the faculty member\u2019s personnel file.\nThere are several outcomes resulting from the Annual Performance Evaluation process, including:\nthe achievement of the department and individual faculty professional goals,\npersonnel decisions (including promotion and tenure, non-reappointment, etc.),\nmerit-salary allocations(In terms of merit-salary allocations, the percentage (e.g., 40, 40, 20) assigned to each category is multiplied by the FEC\u2019s final evaluation scores in the category. The chair translates the composite point total for each faculty member into a percentage of the departmental allocation to determine actual salary figures), and\ndifferential allocation of faculty effort.\nProcedures for developing performance improvement plans\nIf the chair ascertains that a faculty member's performance seems to be failing to meet academic responsibilities, the administrator and the faculty member shall develop a written plan of methods to improve the faculty member's performance. The plan may include appropriate provisions for faculty development, such as campus opportunities for faculty continued renewal and development, or for other appropriate interventions. The chairperson may call upon the University administration for assistance in constructing such a plan, including provision for additional resources, where needed. A faculty member may reject any plan recommended to aid performance levels, but the faculty member must understand that a sustained overall failure to meet academic responsibilities is a basis for dismissal.\nDepartmental procedures allow faculty members to add additional information to the evaluation portfolio as part of the faculty member\u2019s appeal to the FEC during the \u201ccheck-back\u201d period. Each faculty member is provided with a written annual evaluation letter and has the right to appeal this evaluation through appropriate administrative channels in the event disagreement should arise in the course of the evaluation.\nIf a faculty member has been informed that his/her performance still fails to meet academic responsibilities, the faculty member may request a review by a faculty committee designated to hear such matters in the College. The review committee will issue a non-binding recommendation on the appropriateness of this conclusion to the unit administrator. The administrator may change the evaluation after receiving the committee's decision or may choose not to do so. In any event, the report of the committee will become a permanent part of the faculty member's personnel file within the academic unit and shall be available to the faculty member.\nDepartment chairs shall consult annually with the dean, and the dean shall consult annually with the Provost on the progress of any faculty member who fails within this category of failure to meet academic responsibilities.\nBased upon the judgment that there has been a sustained failure to meet academic responsibilities, the Dean may recommend to the Provost that a tenured faculty member be dismissed. In making this determination, the Dean shall consider the nature of the failure to meet academic responsibilities, the reason or reasons for this failure, the number of years that the faculty member has failed to meet academic responsibilities, the level of discernible improvement in the faculty member's performance after being notified of any failure in performance, and the extent to which the faculty member has complied with the terms of any plan developed to improve the faculty member's performance. The Provost will review the case and, if the Provost agrees with the Dean's recommendation, the Provost will recommend to the Chancellor that the faculty member be dismissed. If the Chancellor agrees and recommends dismissal, this recommendation will go to the Faculty Rights Board.\nShould any recommendation to dismiss be brought against a tenured faculty member based exclusively or in part on grounds of sustained failure to meet academic responsibilities, both the report(s) of the review committee(s), the annual written evaluation(s) of the unit administrator concerning the faculty member, any outside evaluations, and any germane written response by the faculty member to the charges shall be made available to the Faculty Rights Board.\nThe Department of Anthropology aims to provide guidance and mentoring for new and junior faculty. Facilitated by the chair, senior faculty mentor junior members in their subdiscipline. Each annual faculty evaluation provides untenured faculty with feedback on their progress toward tenure, recognizing their strengths and accomplishments and making specific recommendations for addressing any shortcomings. For all nontenured faculty members, a progress toward tenure review is typically conducted during the faculty member\u2019s third year. This progress toward tenure review is to provide an evaluation of the faculty\u2019s research, teaching/advising, and service activities toward fulfilling tenure requirements. In consultation with the chair, the nontenured faculty member selects a committee of three tenured faculty members to prepare the evaluation packet following the guidelines and using the forms required by the College and University. The chair will then forward the completed report to the College Committee on Appointments, Promotion, and Tenure. The chair then meets with nontenured faculty member to discuss the progress toward tenure review. This evaluation should be used by the candidate to guide professional activities as he or she moves toward the formal tenure review.\nOther faculty development opportunities include: faculty outreach experiences; occasional endowment and graduate school support for travel expenses for faculty presentations at conferences in their area of specialization; occasional departmental faculty colloquium at which faculty present papers for review and discussion; and encouragement and support of faculty to apply for internal/external funding.\nResearch Intensive Semesters (RIS): CLAS offers all junior faculty members in good standing a reduced teaching responsibility at some point during the faculty member\u2019s pretenure employment. Faculty members will be released from classroom teaching duties for up to one semester, depending upon the relevant departmental teaching expectations, and will be expected to concentrate on research intensive activities. Faculty members are eligible for a research intensive semester assignment up to and including the spring semester before their publication dossiers are sent out to external reviewers in June, with the latest possible Research Intensive Semester (RIS) assignment typically being the second semester of the fifth year. Faculty members in good standing who have stopped their tenure clock remain eligible for a RIS assignment. The actual decision of which year/semester the individual is assigned a research intensive semester will be made in consultation with the department chair. Note that paid leaves and fellowships do not take the place of a RIS. Once the chair approves the RIS for the junior faculty member, the details concerning the RIS should be confirmed to the faculty member in writing and documented in their personnel file. The chair also provides a copy of this authorization to the College Dean\u2019s Office so that RIS data can be tracked. Faculty members who are granted a RIS are expected to continue to meet their usual duties regarding departmental advising and other service activities.\nSee Faculty Development Programs for information about additional faculty development opportunities.\nThe Department of Anthropology utilizes the University\u2019s \u201cStudent Survey of Teaching\u201d form as this instrument. In addition, the department utilizes the \u201cSupplementary Teaching Evaluation Form.\u201d The department has voted to use these comments in the evaluation process.\nDepartment of Anthropology Supplementary Teaching Evaluation Form\nThis form provides you with the opportunity to evaluate and comment on your learning experience in this course. Student evaluations of teaching are made available to the faculty member (after grades are submitted) and to the Chair of the Department. These evaluations are used to improve the teaching skills of the professor. They also play a role in awarding any merit raises and in the retention and recommendation for dismissal of faculty members. Thank you for your careful attention to this important process. You have the option of not filling out this form.\nBased on the scale provided below, please circle the letter that best represents your evaluation.\nB = Above Average\nD = Below Average\nE = Unsatisfactory\nWritten comments are greatly appreciated and encouraged. Please write your comments below. Thank you.\nThis form is to be used in conjunction with the University\u2019s \u201cStudent Survey of Teaching\u201d Form\nFaculty: Please make a list of your activities since your last annual evaluation. Use the categories and subcategories below, adding any relevant data not covered. A brief summary of what each faculty member considers his or her main accomplishments in teaching, research, and service is useful to the evaluation committee in its deliberations. The following list is to remind you of possible activities that should be brought to the attention of the committee, who will evaluate your work.\nQuality of both undergraduate and graduate teaching is essential to the mission of the Department of Anthropology; neither can be judged as more important than the other. Faculty members vary in their interests, ability to relate the material, and general orientation vis-\u00e0-vis undergraduate or graduate education. A faculty member's performance as a teacher cannot be evaluated by any single formula, nor can it be easily quantified.\nFactors to be considered in developing an overall evaluation of teaching performance: Any evaluation of faculty teaching should be based on as many factors as can be assessed. Theses may include: Department and provost \u201cStandardized Teaching Evaluation Forms\u201d; peer reviews; teaching awards; enrollment figures; M.A. and Ph.D. production; advising; development of new courses; updating of courses; new and innovative approaches; outreach (off-campus, Internet, and distance learning courses).\nPeer review of teaching will normally be conducted only for promotion and tenure decisions. Enrollment figures are evaluated in terms of the kind and level of courses.\nOther undergraduate courses\nLower-level graduate courses\nUpper-level graduate courses\nClass evaluation scores (e.g., results of questions 9 & 10)\nFreshmen-sophomores (include numbers)\nUndergraduate majors (include numbers)\nGraduate students (include numbers)\nPh.D. orals\nM.A. orals\nContributions to Ph.D. written exams\nContributions to M.A. written exams\nDissertation direction (chair of committee)\nDissertation committees (membership)\nCourse Supervision\nCoordination or direction of several sections of a course\nSupervision/training of GTAs\nAs in teaching, no simple mechanism can be used to evaluate the quality of research produced by a faculty member. To achieve a comprehensive evaluation, the committee will evaluate research performance in the following three areas, ranked in order of importance.\nResults of research: Published books, chapters and articles, edited media compilations (audio and video), research reports, exhibits, peer-reviewed World Wide Web publications, annotated databases, special lectures or colloquia, papers presented at professional meetings, presentations to local or regional audiences of scholarly significance. Although peer-reviewed books and articles are weighted most heavily, substantial research contributions often appear in other outlets. In such cases, an explanation of the nature and value of the contribution should be submitted.\nResearch in progress: Fieldwork; sponsored research; grant, contract, or fellowship applications submitted; and manuscripts in progress.\nContribution of research to the university, profession, and beyond: Financial support for students, stimulation of areas of research, invited lectures, media interviews, press coverage, consulting in areas of research expertise, and integration of research with teaching are among the ways research contribution is determined.\nPublished referred articles\nScholarly media and databases (note if refereed)\nPublished articles in un-refereed journals, laboratory reports, working papers\nPublished solicited articles\nOther published articles in conference proceedings and other books\nArticles reprinted, translated, etc.\nOther publications [pamphlets, reports, bibliographies]\nExternal research grants awarded\nInternational research grants awarded\nResearch grants submitted\nTheses, dissertations, and privately circulated unpublished misc.\nAttendance at professional meetings and conferences\nDepartmental service is required of all faculty members including, but not limited to, attendance at faculty and department meetings as well as participation on department committees. Service to the college, university; profession; local, national, and/or international communities is expected. Especially important in evaluating faculty service are the following:\nService, including participation in departmental, college, or university committees.\nProfessional service outside the university, including participation in community, state, regional, national, and international activities. Participation encompasses activities such as peer reviewing articles for journals or grant applications for funding agencies; editing; and serving as an officer in a professional society.\nAdministrative duties (e.g., chair of a standing committee, associate chair)\nAdministrative duties (e.g., director of a program)\nOther University related service\nSearch and review committees for faculty and/or staff\nSponsor/advisor of student organizations\nParticipation in musical or theatrical groups, etc.\nOfficer of professional organization\nMember of professional organization\nProfessional organization committees\nEditorial work on a journal or report\nOrganizing a professional meeting\nChairing a session at a professional meeting\nFaculty Evaluation Results by the Faculty Evaluation Committee (FEC)\nRank:______________________________ Years in Rank:_______ Years at KU:____\nScore:____\nScore: _____\nFEP, Faculty Evaluation Plan, Anthropology, Annual Evaluation, Faculty Evaluation\n11/06/2013: Approved by Anthropology Faculty vote.",

We address and model the integration of ecological indicators into intergovernmental fiscal transfers from the national to the state, i.e. L\u00e4nder level in Germany, and assess the role of ecological fiscal transfers in the overall German policy mix. The fine grain analysis in Germany covers two major topics:\n1)Building on the coarse grain report on ecological fiscal transfers, detailed fine grain studies on different aspects of integrating ecological indicators in the German fiscal transfer system are pursued such as the development of appropriate conservation indicators, the detailed discussion of ex ante scenario modelling results, or the legal and institutional options and constraints for introducing ecological fiscal transfers. A substantial part of the fine grain analysis related to EFT is already covered in the national case study report. Fine grain analysis on EFT will be continued, resulting mainly in journal publications that will be integrated in the upcoming fine grain report.\n2) As Germany is a federal country with its states being responsible for implementing nature and forest conservation policies, a second major focus of the German fine grain analysis relates to the topic of afforestation and related ecosystem services in the Free State of Saxony. Here, the local level analysis investigates economic incentives for afforestation in Western Saxony and discusses the role of these instruments in the Saxon policy mix. This second topic will be a major focus of Deliverable 7.2.2 \u2013 Assessment of existing and proposed policy instruments for biodiversity conservation at state and local level.\nThe territory of Germany covers 357 021 km2 and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With more than 80 million inhabitants it is the most populous member state of the European Union and amongst the most densely populated countries on a global comparison (Federal Ministry for the Environment, 2010a: 5). Agriculture is the dominant land use type (~52%). Though increasing in recent years, forest cover in Germany (~31%) is substantially lower than European average (~45%) (Federal Statistical Office Germany, 2012).\nConserving biodiversity is among the central elements of Germany\u2019s National Sustainability Strategy adopted in 2002 (Bundesregierung, 2002). In 2007 Germany also adapted a National Strategy on Biological Diversity (Federal Ministry for the Environment, 2007). The Biodiversity Strategy contains 16 indicators for monitoring current status and trend of biological diversity, roughly 330 objectives with timeframes and about 430 measures calling the various governmental and non-governmental actors to action. There are five main goals of the strategy, namely (1) biodiversity conservation, (2) its sustainable use, (3) reducing environmental pollution, (4) conservation as well as access and equitable sharing of benefits of genetic resources, and (5) raising social awareness for biodiversity conservation as one of the top priorities for society. From an instrument perspective it is interesting to note that the strategy places strong emphasis on regulatory instruments, i.e. protected areas (Fig. 1) like national parks, biosphere reserves, nature conservation areas or Natura 2000 and interlinkage between critical biotopes, and the well-functioning management of these sites and corridors.\nFigure 1: Figure 1: National Parks (purple), Biosphere reserves (orange) and nature conservation areas (green) in Germany. Source: Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (2012e).\nFor a more detailed view: German Agency for Nature Conservation\nAnother major focus is on stimulating sustainable use of ecosystems, i.e. cultivated landscapes used for agriculture and forestry, with a particular focus on the provision of habitats critical for the survival of endangered species or species for which Germany has a particular conservation responsibility. Against this background, the German POLICYMIX case study can be seen as an effort to support the aims of the Strategy on Biological Diversity and to facilitate the national TEEB-process by contributing to a better understanding of the interaction of policy instruments for biodiversity conservation with a particular emphasis on the role of economic instruments.\nNature conservation has a long tradition in Germany dating back to the first half of the 19th century (A\u00dfmann and H\u00e4rdtle 2002). The most important legislative outputs at federal level are the Federal Species Conservation Act (Bundesartenschutzverordnung \u2013 BArtSchV), and the Federal Nature Conservation Act (Bundesnaturschutzgesetz \u2013 BNatSchG) firstly adopted in 1976 but recently reformed and in effect since March 2010 (Table 1). The new legislation intends to harmonise nature conservation laws nationwide. The objectives in the new Federal Act on Nature Conservation and Landscape Management are determined by three main aspects, 1) conserving biodiversity, 2) enhancing productivity and functionality of the ecosystem, and 3) safeguarding variety, singularity, beauty and recreational value of nature and landscapes.\nThe main regulatory instrument for nature conservation is the designation and management of protected areas. Several types of protected areas are defined by Germany's Federal Nature Conservation Act and are designated by land-use planning at L\u00e4nder level. They can be classified by size, protection purpose and conservation objective, and by the resulting restrictions on land use. The main types are nature conservation areas, national parks, biosphere reserves, Natura 2000-sites, landscape protection areas and nature parks.\nThough since the end of the 1980\u2019s the variety and funds related to incentive-based instruments for nature conservation are growing, they are still of minor importance compared to the impact of regulatory instruments. A few of these financial support programmes are issued at the national level, e.g. Testing and Development Projects in Nature Conservation and Landscape Management are funded by the German Ministry for the Environment, as is the direct financial support for important large-scale nature conservation and riparian zone projects by the federal government.\nStarting with the EU agricultural reform in 1992, environment-related subsidies for agriculture have been systematically expanded and developed into the current agro-environmental measures as part of the policy for developing agriculture and rural areas. By converting the former production- and product-related subsidies for farmers in Germany into land-related subsidies and linking these payments to compliance with defined environmental protection (cross compliance), incentives for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity have been significantly enhanced. In Germany, these support programmes are implemented at the L\u00e4nder level and mostly co-financed by the EU. Relating to our local level case study, the two most important incentive-based instruments for forest conservation in Saxony are 1) an agro-environmental scheme that supports afforestation on agricultural land and on other post-industrial sites, and 2) the Directive for Woodland and Forestry in Saxony that aims to increase forest conversion and supports forest-owners that take respective measures.\nTable 1: Current (black) and new (blue) instruments for biodiversity and forest conservation in Germany, addressing various actors at different levels of government.\nActors addressed\nIncentive-based approaches\n\u00b7 Federal Nature Conservation Act\n\u00b7 Federal Species ConservationAct\n\u00b7 Federal Forest Conservation Act\n\u00b7 State Nature Conservation Act\n\u00b7 State Forest Act\n\u00b7 State and Regional Development\n\u00b7 Offsets\n\u00b7 Life+\n\u00b7 Testing and Development projects\nin nature conservation\n\u00b7 Funding for large-scale nature\n\u00b7 Ecological Fiscal Transfers at\nL\u00e4nder level\n\u00b7 Local land-use planning\n\u00b7 Green area planning\n\u00b7 Conservation support programmes\nand Federal Species Conservation\n\u00b7 Agri-environmental schemes\n\u00b7 Directive for Woodland and\nForestry in Saxony\nAlthough the instrument box for biodiversity conservation seems to be well equipped (see Table 1), sufficient funding of nature conservation activities is still lacking and drivers of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation are persistent and often further spurred by other sectoral policies. This holds true for private conservation activities, e.g. by farmers or foresters but even more so for public policy makers in charge of landscape and conservation planning. Hence, the German case study looks at two promising instruments to complement the policy mix for biodiversity and forest conservation. Firstly, we explore from an ex ante-perspective the potential of integrating ecological indicators in intergovernmental fiscal transfers at federal level in Germany; and secondly, we study in depth the conditions for incentivizing farmers by PES for afforestation to contribute to the state\u2019s aim of increasing forest cover in Saxony, a German state with a particularly low share of forest on total land cover.\nDespite advances in implementing instruments that reward conservation at the private level in Germany (e.g., PES to landowners), there are few instruments addressing public actors. This might lead to an under-provision of the public good biodiversity conservation, since in such context subnational governments do not have incentives to take conservation benefits into account, especially those affecting other jurisdictions beyond their own boundaries. Ecological fiscal transfer (EFT) is an instrument that has potential to address this issue by distributing money from higher to lower levels of government based on ecological indicators. So far, only Brazil, Portugal and to a certain extent France have adopted EFTs (Ring et al. 2011a). While EFT is an innovative approach to German federalism, fiscal equalisation as such is not.\nThere is an extensive field of regulation covering the relationship between federal level, states (so-called L\u00e4nder) and municipalities. The constitutional rules for the distribution of legislative power and responsibilities among these governmental levels are mirrored by a complex mechanism of distributing public revenues in order to provide governments with the funds necessary to fulfil their responsibilities.\nAgainst this background, one set of questions tackled by the POLICYMIX project is whether it is suitable to integrate ecological indicators into the existing fiscal transfer system to account for the different levels of conservation activities by the L\u00e4nder. What should an indicator for measuring the different levels of conservation activities look like? What are the legal options and constraints such an approach would face? How would this kind of incentive mechanism interact with other types of regulation concerning nature conservation? In defining potential indicators, we build on existing experience with EFT in Brazil and Portugal, and develop a series of protected area-based indicators for integration into the fiscal transfer system.\nEFT build on existing protected area regulation in that they use officially designated protected areas as an indicator to allocate fiscal transfers. Hence, they synergistically complement conservation law with an economic incentive that accounts for state conservation costs and spillover benefits related to these protected areas (Ring et al., 2011a: 115). Depending on the indicators chosen, EFT may also facilitate indirect conservation measures such as avoiding further fragmentation of landscapes by traffic infrastructure development or patchy settlement expansion. Furthermore, EFT may provide the funds necessary to equip support programmes for conservation activities by private land users. From an institutional perspective it is also important to note that implementing EFT at state level may also provide an impetus for introducing ecological indicators at other levels of intergovernmental transfers, e.g. fiscal equalisation at municipal level, thereby boosting impacts resulting from EFT at state level.\nFine grain analysis \u2013\nResearch questions and challenges for biodiversity and forest conservation\nAs outlined before, the fine grain analysis in Germany covers two different levels and instruments:\n1) Ecological fiscal transfers at state level in Germany\nEcological Fiscal Transfers share some characteristics with payments for ecosystem services (PES) as they incentivize decision-makers to change their behavior in an environmentally friendly way. However, it is important to note, that fiscal transfers are first and foremost a distributive instruments, i.e. aiming at leveling off differences in the available public budgets per capita at the respective governmental levels. Hence, when ecological indicators are introduced without increasing the overall amount of money available to distribute, there will always be winners and losers and thus some states will receive less with EFT than under the status quo. Thus, effectiveness and efficiency of EFT for biodiversity conservation cannot be evaluated in rigorous way. The main research questions tackled by the fine grain analysis regarding EFT focus on 1) the creation of sound ecological indicators capable of representing the differences in conservation activities among the states, 2) options for their integration into the existing fiscal transfer scheme, and 3) simulation of EFT as proposed to showcase potential distribution results as an input for further discussion with stakeholders about the potential role of EFT in the conservation policy mix.\n2) Agri-environmental incentive scheme for afforestation in Saxony\nIn Saxony, we focus on a new design of the agri-environmental scheme for forest increase. It has been found that this scheme in its current design is not attractive. This is due to very low compensation payments, partial reimbursement of investment costs and complicated application procedures. The current programme period is from 2007-2013. Authorities are now looking for ways to improve the scheme in the next programme period.\nWe investigate the terms and conditions under which landowners would be more interested to engage in the agri-environmental scheme for forest increase. These include economic issues (i.e. compensation payments, reversibility to agricultural use, contract length, competition of afforestation with other land uses), social /institutional issues (i.e. degree of administrative effort, consultation) and ecological issues (farmer\u2019s interest in certain ecosystem services of forests, such as recreation, timber production, biodiversity). One possible reason for the limited interest of farmers in the agro-environmental scheme for forest increase is that agricultural production is more attractive. Since many farmers already participate in other agro-environmental programmes or conservation schemes, it might be possible that they are reluctant to change to yet another PES scheme. These terms and conditions will be investigated in a local case study area, namely Western Saxony (Figure 2).\nFigure 2: Western Saxony - Case study area for local level fine grain analysis in Germany\nFor the fine grain analysis of Ecological Fiscal Transfers, the site descriptions relating to Germany have already been presented earlier.\nIn the Saxon fine-grain analysis the relevant ecosystem services are not related to existing forests but to new forests that will be grown on agricultural land in accordance with the agro-environmental scheme for forest increase. We look at the importance landowners in Western Saxony place on different ecosystem services and biodiversity aspects and investigate how these affect the decision to participate in the afforestation scheme. The ecosystem services include future recreational use and timber production. In terms of biodiversity, we ask for landowners\u2019 preferences for production forest (1 or 2 species, little diversity) and natural forest (several species, high diversity). Ecosystem services associated with new forests are identical in the Dutch case study, possibly Barrancos and further POLICYMIX case studies.\nEcological Fiscal Transfers aim at public actors and provide incentives to public actors. If protected areas/area-related conservation indicators are integrated into intergovernmental fiscal relations, there is a spatially explicit consideration of these conservation areas in terms of increasing the fiscal needs of the relevant state government. Thus, existing protected areas are considered in a spatially explicit way \u2013 although potentially weighted according to conservation value and land-use restrictions associated with them. This might have two effects on conservation efforts: L\u00e4nder could designate new protected areas, and L\u00e4nder could redesignate their existing protected areas to stricter protection categories to receive a higher weighting factor. However, the incentive effect for future conservation is not spatially explicit. In this way, it is not possible to evaluate the ecological effectiveness of EFT in a rigorous way. Regarding competing land uses at state or municipal levels, EFT will most probably change land-use patterns in the long term as on average protected areas are valued higher and do provide monetary benefits to state or municipal budgets. Depending on the ecological indicator chosen, one may evaluate the change of this indicator in the long run.\nWith respect to the agro-environmental scheme for forest increase, we would like to compare the scheme with 1) other instruments for forest increase (mainly foundations) and 2) other competing instruments of relevance to farmers (i.e. premium for set aside land is more attractive). The most restricting factor in analysing cost-effectiveness is little knowledge about the transaction costs of the different instruments. In a questionnaire with farmers we will elicit the payments farmers receive for other conservation measures.\nAs mentioned above, the distributive aim of fiscal transfers makes it hardly impossible to rigorously assess the costs and benefits associated with integrating ecological indicators. Nevertheless, some qualitative judgements can be made. Firstly, by acknowledging conservation efforts as a public responsibility eligible for fiscal transfers, public actors are incentivized to rethink their long-term development strategies that are nowadays singularly focused on tax-creating land uses. Thereby a gap in the conservation policy mix is closed, as fiscal transfers address public decision makers that in turn create the framework for decisions by private land users, e.g. by land-use and land-development planning. Secondly, transaction costs of EFT will be moderately low, since all necessary regulation for intergovernmental fiscal transfers is in place, ecological indicators chosen are mostly based on available data and only the basis for calculating size and direction of transfers is modified.\nWith respect to the agri-environmental scheme, we use a Choice Experiment and a follow-up questionnaire to investigate compensation required by landowners for converting some of their land into forest.\nOn the one hand, EFT can provide a counterbalance in relation to existing, often adverse incentives for land use, such as attracting more inhabitants and businesses, agricultural land uses, settlements, construction and housing. On the other hand, intergovernmental fiscal transfers are not primarily targeted towards biodiversity conservation but strive towards levelling off substantial differences in available tax revenues per capita. In this way, fiscal transfers are per se a redistributive instrument, accounting for fiscal needs in relation to the fiscal capacities of relevant jurisdictions. Financial constitutions (in Germany part of the Basic Law) and fiscal transfer laws thus represent the result of a complex bargaining process between the federal level and the states of what is considered fair and legitimate in a certain period of time. As these laws are always a result of political majorities, bargaining continues for law changes, especially of those states that pay more than they receive. If ecological indicators are newly integrated, the relative weight of other criteria in the distribution formulas is reduced that is mainly the number of inhabitants. As the number of inhabitants is the agreed abstract indicator for representing fiscal needs of various inhabitant-related public functions, e.g. infrastructure needs for housing and transport, social security and health care, education and cultural activities, loosing states with an EFT scheme will also have less money for these other public functions. However, beside some qualitative judgements it is way beyond the scope of the POLICYMIX fine grain study to assess the welfare effects of this shift.\nWith respect to the agri-environmental scheme for forest increase we have included questions regarding the social impact of the scheme in the Choice Experiment. We plan to conduct qualitative interviews with farmers who refuse to participate in the afforestation scheme in the Choice Experiment to determine the reasons why they do not want to participate and the extent to which shortcomings in the implementation of the instrument play a role. This allows us to filter out possible social impacts and distributional fairness issues (i.e. is a certain group disadvantaged: part-time vs. full-time farmers, high soil fertility rate vs. low soil fertility rate, size of landholding).\nThere are several options to integrate ecological indicators into the German fiscal transfer system at state level. We choose to integrate a conservation factor at the stage of horizontal equalisation, i.e. where fiscal needs and fiscal capacities of the states are compared and levelled off. This is due to the fact that already now, higher fiscal needs of states with very low population densities (which can be understood as an area-related indicator) are considered at this particular stage. In this way, conservation efforts are \u201ctranslated\u201d into additional inhabitants and thereby into higher fiscal needs. Another option would be to put conservation-related indicators side by side to population-based indicators. Moreover, as our preliminary simulation has shown, marine protected areas should be considered in a separate form. As our chosen indicator relates the protected area of a state to its overall area, the large size of marine protected areas in relation to the land size of the relevant states (such as Schleswig-Holstein) highly distorts the results. Furthermore, marine protected areas are associated with considerably different opportunity and management costs than their terrestrial counterparts, leading to a strong bias in favour of coastal states.\nWith respect to the agri-environmental scheme for forest increase, we have conducted a number of in-depth interviews with a variety of forestry authorities. According to these interviews, the main institutional constraints are related to the complicated application procedure and administrative effort, to the lack of personnel to promote the scheme and to assist farmers during the application process, and to the fact that the scheme is voluntary.\nAs ecological fiscal transfers are introduced at the national / state level, please see section on \u201cInstrument interactions in the federal/national/state policy mix\u201d above.\nIn the local fine grain analysis, conclusions will be derived regarding the agri-environmental incentive scheme for afforestation in Saxony, whether the instruments acceptance by farmers and thus effectiveness in terms of forest increase can be enhanced through design changes. This will be discussed in the light of its co-existence with other existing instruments, such as foundation\u2019s activities for forest increase, and other agri-environmental measures possibly competing with the afforestation scheme.",

European Geosciences Union, 2006.\n(English) This is the first modeling reconstruction of the whole aspects (both meteorological and oceanographic) of the storm which hit Italy on 4 November 1966, producing 118 victims and widespread damages in Tuscany, at the northern Adriatic coast and in the north-eastern Italian Alps. The storm was produced by a cyclone which formed in the western Mediterranean and moved eastward towards Italy, reaching the Thyrrenian Sea, and then northward. The most peculiar characteristic of the storm has been the strong zonal pressure gradient and the consequent intensity and long fetch of the south-easterly sirocco wind, which advected a large amount of warm moist air, and determined exceptional orographic precipitation over Tuscany and the north-eastern Alps. The funneling of the wind between the mountain chains surrounding the Adriatic basin further increased the wind speed and determined the highest ever recorded storm surge along the Venetian coast. This study shows that present models would be able to produce a reasonably accurate simulation of the meteorological event (surface pressure, wind and precipitation fields, and storm surge level). The exceptional intensity of the event is not suggested by single parameters such as the sea level pressure minimum, the wind speed or the total accumulated precipitation. In fact, the precipitation was extreme only In some locations and the pressure minimum was not particularly deep. Moreover, the prediction of the damages produced by the river run-off and landslides would have required other informations concerning soil condition, snow coverage, and storage of water reservoirs before the event. This indicates that an integrated approach is required for assessing the probability of such damages both on a weather forecast and on a climate change perspective.\nSubject climate scenarios",

        "title": "Goat For Dinner \u2013 Quillisascut",
        "raw_content": "Tracy McGeehan shares her memories and reflections from a week at Quillisascut Farm.\n\u201cI\u2019ll give them a little less to eat this evening,\u201d said Rick Misterly, the farmer of Quillisascut Farm School for the Domestic Arts, as he gave us all a tour the first Wednesday evening of our stay. \u201cThat way, when I show up tomorrow morning at 5:00, they\u2019ll all come running to me, hungry and ready to be fed. It will make it easier to capture my goat of choice and slaughter him.\u201d\nRick is referring to a herd of seven male goats, one of which will be slaughtered for our class, Farm Culinary 101. As students, we will observe the skinning and evisceration of this goat, break it down into its primal cuts, and ultimately dine on it. Nothing of this animal will go to waste. And that is one of many things that we are here to learn \u2013 respect for the farmer, the land and how food makes its way to the table.\nQuillisascut Farm is in the northeastern corner of Washington, off the Columbia River, near the small town of Rice and located in Pleasant Valley. One of the objectives of this school is to educate food-service professionals about where it all begins \u2013 be it live animal, plant or tree. The farm started out in 1987 by making and selling a variety of goat cheese. From the beginning, the intent of Rick and Lora Lea was to educate the community about eating locally and sustainably, long before it was in vogue.\nThere were nine of us, ready to take on the challenges that lay before us. On Thursday morning, 5:30AM, behind the school, each of us grasping a steaming cup of hot coffee, some with goat\u2019s milk (no coincidence there \u2013 cow\u2019s milk was not an option), waiting for Rick to pull up with the tractor, slaughtered goat in tow. The students are never invited to participate in the slaughtering \u2013 it\u2019s a matter of respect between Rick and the goat. He has deemed it a personal affair \u2013 one in which there is no need for observation. As he pulls up next to the school on this clear, crisp morning, we all stand in respect, a bit somber, sensing his melancholy.\nRick gets right to work, with his Komondor, Libby, the guard dog of the farm, at his side. He begins to skin and eviscerate the goat, a process that takes about two hours. His form is eloquent, his movement fluid and precise, demonstrating such respect for this animal that he has just slaughtered with his bare hands. The innards of this creature fall effortlessly into a wheelbarrow, to be taken up near the garden area and composted. The final step in handling the goat is to saw it in half, readying it to hang in the walk-in for 2 days, before being fabricated and finally cooked and eaten. \u201cIdeally, it would hang for about a week\u201d, Rick remarks, \u201cbut for purposes of this class, it will only hang for two days, so you guys can cook with it and see the finished product.\u201d The goat will be eaten as our farewell dinner.\nThroughout the process, we ask many questions. Most are questions of general information about the goat, and the process that is taking place. However, one question intrigues me the most. \u201cIs it hard to kill a goat that you know, that you have raised from a kid?\u201d asks a student from Spokane WA. Rick tells us that the night before he slaughters one of his goats, he is not able to sleep very well. \u201cMy biggest fear\u201d, he says, \u201cis not being able to kill the goat immediately, causing him stress, which will cause pain and suffering. Once I have slit his neck and he is dead, my fear is gone.\u201d Despite the love and care given to all of these animals on this farm, they are part of an ecosystem that exists here. The residents practice sustainability on a daily basis, leading by example. And these goats are one of many food sources to be eaten.\nSaturday is the fabrication of the goat. Fabrication is the process of butchering an animal into its various cuts of meat. Chef Karen (pronounced Karn \u2013 it\u2019s Nordic) leads us with this task. She is calm, professional and organized when going about her work. Chef Karen is accustomed to utilizing every part of an animal. Three hotel pans are set up during the fabrication \u2013 one for good cuts (loin, rack, shoulder and leg), one for sausage and one for the dogs and cats. The loin and the rack are to be prepared this evening for dinner; the other cuts will end up in the freezer, for future use.\nAs the dinner nears, the Chef and students are preparing our final dinner together. My contribution is freekeh tabbouleh with cucumbers, carrots, dill, mint, parsley and white wine vinaigrette. Freekeh is still green or under ripe wheat kernels. A local farmer grew this grain as an experiment and gave it to Quillisascut. Also on the menu are blanched green beans with shaved fennel, and a saut\u00e9ed pigweed made by Chef Rung, a fellow student and native of Thailand. Pigweed in the United States is looked upon as a weed. Its flavor is very similar to spinach.\nAs you can imagine, the highlight of the meal was goat tenderloin and rack, both of which were roasted in the oven, keeping a light pink interior. The flavor of this meat was surprisingly mild. It was prepared very simply, so that its flavor would not be overlooked or masked by something else. The testicles of the goat were also served that evening. They were pan-fried with a little salt. At first bite, I felt a little squeamish, but powered on. These reminded me of chicken breast, as they were very mild.\nWhile you may not find this meal in Fine Cooking or Saveur magazine, it is quite a feat. Every component was either grown or raised on Quillisascut Farm, or sourced from a nearby farm. With the exception of a few items (EVO, vinegars, dried herbs or spices) participants and residents at the Farm School truly eat locally. With the completion of this meal, I have come full circle. There is still much to be learned about eating locally and sustainably, but I\u2019m a willing student. I was ready to journey home and share my knowledge with anyone willing to listen.\nPrevious PostPrevious Chef David Blaine\nNext PostNext To My Mom",

        "raw_content": "Mental health influences the quality of life and well-being of people, and enables personal and interpersonal regulation. Mental disorders seem to develop whenever environmental and occupational demands exceed the ability of individuals to adjust. For this reason, mental health is affected by several factors. Even when individuals seem to maintain their mental health, various psychological and occupational factors exert significant impact, to the point of interfering with adequate behaviors and responses. These are known as psychosocial factors, this is to say, coexisting psychological and social aspects which affect the environment and are related to health and mental disorders1.\nPsychosocial factors represent interactions between the content of work and environmental and organizational conditions, and reflect on the competencies and needs of workers. Within this context, globalization and technological development caused significant changes in the content and nature of work, imposing increasing demands of qualification and availability, with negative impact on the social and work life balance2.\nAs a result, these factors contribute to cause exhaustion among nursing professionals in their various fields of activity. Mental exhaustion is potentiated by exposure to a high mental load, not as a function of the daily experience of the object of work, but of the working conditions to which these workers are subjected. In the case of substance-dependent or mentally ill patients, the workload is maximized due to the need to provide constant care. Within such context, support and due orientation to perform tasks stand out, as overwork not seldom makes also caregivers fall ill3,4.\nMental overload is directly related to the unpredictability of the clinical state of patients, as despite apparent stability, they might develop psychomotor agitation at any time, with potential to progress into aggression. Monitoring the state of health of professionals is indispensable to recognize and change the actual conditions of nursing work in mental health. The reason is that such monitoring allows developing indicators to measure their workload and characterize the morbidity profile of workers5,6.\nAccurate knowledge of the working conditions and stressors or causes of (physical or mental) exhaustion allows channeling health actions in a way to minimize it, sensitizing nursing professionals to detect problems in the workplace, and making more suggestions on how they might perform their tasks based on the work demands7.\nAs a function of the aforementioned considerations, the aim of the present study was to analyze the perception of nursing professionals who provide care to users of alcohol and other drugs in regard to the psychosocial factors which interfere with their mental health.\nThe present exploratory and descriptive study with qualitative approach analyzed the perception of nursing professionals who provide care to psychoactive substance users in regard to the psychosocial factors which interfere with their mental health. Qualitative, widely narrative research is essentially based on language and behavior, as numerical calculations and statistical procedures are not particularly relevant in this case8. The study was conducted at a referral hospital for substance dependent patients included in the psychosocial care network of Piaui, Brazil.\nParticipants were 22 nursing professionals (nurses, nursing technicians and assistants) who provided direct patient care. Professionals with other functions were excluded. The number of participants was established based on data saturation as determined by the investigators through a data treatment technique9, and were identified as P1, P2, P3, [...], P22 to ensure anonymity.\nData collection took place from February through May 2016 by means of individual interviews based on a script to gather information on the four following aspects: sociodemographic characteristics; behavioral variables; occupational aspects including psychological factors which influence work; and the health and working conditions of participants. The interviews were conducted at the workplace at a time and place indicated by interviewees as favorable for dialogue.\nThe interviews were recorded as audio files and fully transcribed. For treatment of the data we used software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (IRAMUTEQ, which enables five different types of analysis: classic textual statistics, investigation of specificities and groups, descending hierarchical classification (DHC), similitude analysis and word clouds. Thus the vocabulary is organized in an easily understandable and visually clear manner, which allows integrating quantitative and qualitative aspects, resulting in greater objectivity and advances in data interpretation10.\nIt should be noticed that this software is not a method for data analysis, but a tool to process data. Therefore, it does not provide a final analysis, as the data must still be interpreted, which is a task to be performed by the investigator11. Data processing was based on DHC, i.e., relationships between semantic classes extracted from the participants' narratives. The criterion to include elements in classes was frequency twice higher than the mean number of occurrences in the corpus; class association was determined by \u03c72\u22653.84 and significance of 95%9. Each interview was characterized as a text, and the set of texts represented the analyzed corpus. The method further allows for definitive classification illustrated by means of a dendrogram.\nThe step following software-based analysis consisted in the identification and analysis of textual domains and interpretation of meanings according to the following categories:\n\u0095 Broadening the scope of multiprofesional care as resource for treatment of substance-dependent patients;\n\u0095 Precarious resources and safety at work;\n\u0095 Influence of working conditions on care delivery;\n\u0095 Need for resources and professional qualification to provide specialized care;\n\u0095 Nursing staff problems with managers and working conditions.\nThe study complied with the ethical and legal principles in Resolution no. 466/12 and was approved by the research ethics committee of Federal University of Piaui, on 30 June 2015, ruling no. 1,132,021.\nThe full service staff included 30 nursing professionals, 22 of whom agreed to participate, being 7 (31.82%) nurses, 14 (63.63%) nursing technicians and 1 (4.54%) nursing assistant. The participants' age ranged from 27 to 63 years old, and most were female (n=19, 86.36%). Half of the participants reported to be married (50%). None smoked, but 6 (27.27%) reported to drink socially at least once per week. Twelve participants (54.54%) performed physical activity on a regular basis (Table 1).\nThe hospital where the study was conducted comprises a low-complexity emergency department and inpatient wards, and its profile includes care provision to individuals with substance-related disorders. Ten participants (31.82%) were allocated to the inpatient area, 7 (31.82%) to the emergency department, and 5 (22.73%) worked in both (Table 2).\nA large part of the participants had worked in the profession for 10 to 25 years, mean 18.64 years. Twelve participants (54.54%) had worked at the analyzed hospital for less than 10 years, 7 (31.82%) 10 to 25 years, and 3 (13.64%) more than 25 years, mean 11.09 years. The weekly working time was more than 30 hours for most participants (72.73%).\nWhen inquired on occurrence of occupational stress as a function of the workload and pace of work, 12 participants (54.55%) gave affirmative answers and listed some triggers, such as: patient profile, lack of training, rate of return to substance use, shortage of professionals, patient idleness and non-adherence to norms. Ten participants (45.45%) stated there were no stressors in the workplace.\nAnalysis of the working conditions and their influence on care delivery based on the participants' narratives on their work experience with substance-dependent patients allowed identifying five categories (Figure 1).\nFigure 1. Dendrogram of classes representing narratives of nursing professionals who provide care to substance-dependent patients, Teresina, 2016 (n=22).\nClass 1 concerns broadening the scope of multiprofesional care as resource for treatment of substance-dependent patients, and included 12 text segments, corresponding to 16.7% of the total number of segments extracted from the corpus. Class 2 corresponds to precarious resources and safety at work, 13 segments (23.3%). Class 3, with 9 segments (20%) represents the working conditions as exerting direct influence on care delivery. Class 4 corresponds to the nursing professionals' qualification to provide specialized care. Class 5 represents the nursing staff 's problems with managers and the working conditions, with 6 segments (23.3%).\nIn general the participants were aware that their job was associated with psychosocial factors which represent risks to health and mental work overload. This type of factors lead to occupational stress and other health and safety problems, and comprise workplace aspects such as the organizational culture or climate, job functions, interpersonal relationships and design and content of tasks12.\nAlthough the health of the workforce is directly related to their job and employment conditions, the psychosocial factors related to them differ among workers as they are determined by aspects of structural nature. Difference was found in perceived stress as a function of sex. Women reported higher job demands and higher levels of stress symptoms compared to men with similar jobs and tasks13.\nYounger workers were more susceptible to psychosocial factors related to exposure to work-related violent behaviors. Age influences the performance of tasks involving heavier physical loads, and is associated with higher psychosocial resistance and resilience14.\nMost participants in the present study were married, which allows inferring they had to cope with more tasks and responsibilities. It is healthy for workers to adjust their work and family life in a way none of them is impaired. The reason is that the respective demands might conflict, workers might often suffer from lack of support at home, and thus the home-work interface might become one further psychosocial factor affecting nursing professionals.\nNone of the participants reported to smoke, but six (27.27%) drank socially at least once per week. Twelve participants (54.54%) performed physical activity on a regular basis. The perceived influence of psychosocial factors on physical and mental health increases with the time in the job. This is to say, workers with longer time in the job are at higher risk of suffering the influence of psychosocial factors at work. In regard to the weekly working hours, one should consider the need for mental and physical recovery. The working time is a psychosocial factor, and might be related to psychosocial hazards, such as nightshift work, non-flexible or too long working hours and unpredictable schedule15.\nNursing professionals, particularly the ones who work at mental health services, are exposed to conditions likely to cause stress and physical and mental exhaustion, which often lead to illness. Stress impairs the quality of professional performance by reducing the levels of satisfaction and well-being, hindering personal development and increasing absenteeism16. These aspects were evidenced in some of narratives, as follows:\nPrecarious, unsafe and unhealthy. In addition, diseases such as the mental [ones], because most patients end by developing mental disorders, which together with abstinence make us feel insecure. All this weakens me (P1).\nThere's conflict among patients, and the rate of relapse is very high; most of the patients currently discharged come back less than one month later (P5).\nThe hospital infrastructure is not good, there are no activities to develop with patients. We try to do our job as best as we can and overcome daily challenges (P8).\nI do go and perform the procedures I must, but in fear. Moreover, I still focus on insecurity, because all of us, the nursing technicians, are locked inside alone with the patients, while everybody is outside, even the security guards (P14).\nIn regard to the psychological aspects likely to influence work at the hospital, 15 participants (68.18%) mentioned fear, insecurity, anxiety, frustration, conflict among patients and treatment refusal. Seven participants (31.82%) did not associate psychological aspects to nursing work:\nI believe that negative factors only affect people who don't like or don't know this field, it's a peculiar population, therefore you have to understand, when you're afraid it becomes a problem (P14).\nFear. I don't get too close to patients, I don't feel safe at all (P9).\nAnxiety, fear caused by the situations I described [...] patients here aren't psychologically well, some are criminals (P11).\nAs they're admitted for detox, you're not sure they'll get better [...] the care we provide is kind of palliative, there's no certainty they'll get better, can't say we minimize the damage, the best description is that we're drying ice (P21).\nTo analyze the level of job satisfaction, we asked the participants how they felt in regard to working at a referral hospital for substance dependence treatment. Job satisfaction is considered highly relevant, as it is related to the quality of care delivery, interpersonal relationships, and better adjustment to services17. Positive adjectives were detected in the narratives of 13 participants (59.09%), such as gratifying, privileged, proud and educational. Seven participants (31.82%) described their experience of work at the hospital in negative terms, such as insecure, unprepared and dissatisfied. Two participants (9.09%) were indifferent in this regard.\nGratifying, because it's a unique population. They need professionals who know how to deal with them, who know how to listen and treat them in an individualized way (P7).\nIt's a high-risk area and we deserve much safety (P16).\nI don't feel satisfied, it needs much more to be a referral hospital [...] patients lack a lot of stuff, and it's us who pay the price (P19).\nIn regard to the impact of work on their health, 10 participants (45.54%) reported health problems related to work at the hospital, 11 (50%) reported none and 1 (4.55%) did not know how to respond. The most frequent health problems were stress, sleeplessness, depression, physical exhaustion, panic attacks and anxiety.\nI even had depression episodes related to work, once a patient threatened to stab me with a knife (P8).\nI've already had problems, and I had to see a physical therapist, they were due to stress, to situations which ran out of control (P1).\nI believe [they are due to] night shift work, not to the fact of working at this hospital (P14).\nInadequate working conditions, lack of organization and difficult social relationships have negative impact on the quality of life of nursing professionals18. Sleep deprivation and difficult recovery are some of the main factors which cause physical and mental exhaustion. However, despite its frequent association with negative factors, workers choose the night shift to meet personal and/or professional needs19.\nThe training required to work with this particular population of patients was a source of disagreement among the interviewees. Some participants reported problems, such as lack of the due competencies, while others stated they had received training in courses, and even graduate education supported by the institution.\nLack of investment in our training, lack of training in this field [...] we learned on the job, there was no training course (P1).\nIt's not good to work with addicts, because I'm not prepared to work with them, no matter the courses taught at the hospital (P9).\nThe hospital gives me conditions to do a good job, it provided training to professionals (P14).\nThey presented us the proposal, we took up this cause [...] we received training, however, we're still far from the ideal model, we've already made much advance, but we're walking slowly (P8).\nIn regard to multiprofesional care as resource for treatment of substance dependent patients (Class 1) the participants' narratives pointed to the need to broaden its scope. The staff currently comprises psychiatrists, nursing professionals, psychologists and social workers. In addition to encompassing social relationships, availability of multiprofesional staffs minimizes the vulnerabilities derived from the use of psychoactive substances. The staff needs to combine specific interventions and goals to reduce the direct manifestations of drug use and abuse through actions seeking to minimize damage and strategies to prevent relapse20.\nAlso precarious resources and safety at work (Class 2) were a cause for concern among the participants. Scarcity of resources, such as medications and equipment, was specifically mentioned within the context of the patients' treatment. The most frequent mentions corresponded to the emergency department. The participants' concern with safety at work was indicated by mentions to insufficient number of security guards, treatment refusal, and association of patients with criminality.\nAccording to the patients' narratives, the working conditions (Class 3) do exert direct influence on care delivery to substance-dependent patients. Job satisfaction and recognition might contribute to improve the quality of life of workers, with consequent repercussion on patient safety. Therefore, detecting adverse situations and associated psychosocial factors which interfere with safety within the hospital environment is essential, as also are actions to fill current gaps in the health system21,22.\nIn regard to their qualifications to provide specialized care (Class 4), training for work at the hospital was mentioned by all the participants, however, it was rated insufficient for the actual demands. The participants also pointed to the relevance of continued education, which is not available at the institution.\nAs concerns the nursing professionals' problems with managers and the working conditions (Class 5), the demands for productivity and pressure to meet goals are continuously growing, while the material and structural conditions and human resources are usually precarious. Therefore, the organizational context favors the development of mental symptoms and poses risk to the mental health of employees. Frustration and lack of motivation are emphasized by workers under mental suffering and illness23.\nThe present study evidenced the perception of nursing professionals who provide care to substance-dependent patients in the hospital setting. The participants considered they were exposed to unfavorable situations with negative impact on their well-being and health. Such situations were related to psychosocial factors, mainly workload and pace of work, work environment and availability of equipment, organizational culture and function, interpersonal relationships, level of satisfaction, and the home-work interface. Occupational exposure to unfavorable psychosocial factors at work was mentioned by most participants. Nevertheless, an accurate analysis of such factors is hindered by conceptual aspects, in addition to the fact they are not always recognized, or are underestimated.\nDespite its limitations \u2014 derived from the small sample size, the fact it was conducted at a single center, and the impossibility to generalize the results to other work settings \u2014 the present study is relevant, since it evidenced the influence of psychosocial factors at work on the satisfaction and health of nursing professionals. We call the attention to the need for hospitals to implement management practices which include effective participation of workers in the work process to contribute to their well-being and mental health promotion.",

        "raw_content": "America loves reality television. Even people who don\u2019t watch reality television shows have found it as a difficult task to avoid. A large number of newspaper articles have also been published in order to signify how popular the reality TV shows are.\nIf you take a look at some of the most popular reality TV shows in America, you would realize that they are being aired frequently. For example, the Big Brother TV show is being aired five days a week. People can also watch it online at any given time of the day. The grade finale of Survivor was able to receive extremely positive ratings. In fact, the ratings of this reality TV show even rivaled against the ratings of Super Bowl.\nWhy are reality TV shows extremely popular among people who live in America? From the recent studies, it has been identified that people who live in America are hooked with reality television programs. In the reality TV shows, the performances of ordinary people are highlighted instead of celebrities. For example, the weeks long contests of ordinary people are recorded throughout 24 hours of the day. The harmless and simple desire of people to become a part of the crowd can therefore be considered as one of the main reasons behind the popularity of reality TV shows.\nA variety of studies have been conducted in order to analyze the popularity of reality TV shows among people who live in America. The results obtained from these studies are impressive. Most of the people have mentioned that they prefer to watch reality TV shows at night because they can provide a topic to be discussed with friends and co-workers on the following day. On the other hand, some people believe that only truth is being shown in the reality TV shows. They also believe that people don\u2019t act like celebrities do in movies or other TV shows. There are people who believe that they can get hold of intellectual capabilities of other people by watching reality television shows.\nDue to all these reasons, the popularity of reality television shows is increasing. In order to cater the demand, a large number of reality shows are being created as well. If you take a closer look at the new programs that television channels have started in the recent past, you would realize that most of them are reality TV shows.\nThe reality television shows that are being aired by channels in America are somewhat similar. When a specific channel comes out with a new concept, it is being copied by the other channels. However, the reality TV show based on the original concept receives much attention because it\u2019s something new for the people. Due to this reason, almost all the channels are struggling hard in order to come up with concepts for new reality TV shows. The craze for reality television would not go away anytime sooner and you can enjoy a lot of new shows based on innovative concepts in the future.",

        "title": "Computer Music and the Importance of Fractals, Chaos, and Complexity Theory",
        "raw_content": "Computer Music and the Importance of Fractals, Chaos, and Complexity Theory\nDr. Mladen Milicevic, The University of South Carolina - Media Arts, Columbia SC 29208, USA MMladen@SC.edu\nAbstract: The main concern addressed in this paper relates to the postmodern vs. hypermodern use of knowledge based on scientific findings as applied to philosophy and the aesthetics of computer music.\n1. Possibilities of Complexity\nIn the last decade there has been increasing interest in emerging sciences related to complexity, Chaos theory, fractals, neural nets, and the Gaia hypothesis. According to the modern view, the universe is developing regularly along a line that the physicist and mathematician can plot and understand. The prevailing efforts in science have tried to explain all phenomena as variants of an essentially ordered structure. However, in the last twenty years, a reverse hypothesis has grown which supposes that most of the universe is non-linear and, perhaps, beyond understanding. Cosmocentric complexity grows into deterministic chaos, a chaos that shows some emergent innovation--balancing on the delicate edge between order and chaos. Per Bak, a physicist from Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, illustrates this with a pile of sand on a tabletop. Imagine a growing sand pile, with grains of sand being continuously dropped from above. The pile grows higher and higher until it cannot grow any more reaching the critical height. The complexity of interlocking grains of sand has reached \"self-organizing-criticality\" [Waldrop 1992] and it is ready to do something. So when the next falling grain hits the pile, nothing or--anything--may happen. It can result in a tiny shift of just few grains or in a catastrophic collapse of the whole pile--there is no way of predicting this non-linear result. This example displays a behavior very similar to the critical mass of plutonium, in which the chain reaction is just barely on the verge of nuclear explosion. Such behavior is very common in nature, points out Bak, and we can see the ubiquity of large impulses being rare and small ones being common. Crisis management becomes a norm for nature, pushing itself to the brink between control and chaos.\nThere is an easy misunderstanding of emergent behavior which lies in the assumption that whatever is produced on the verge of chaos is good or creative. It is simply new, and evolution over time may show only if it is anthropocentrically positive or negative. Even when the product of emergent behavior fits into the ecological system, this does not mean that it is elegant or aesthetically pleasing; it simply means that it works within the larger context. It does not even mean that it is the best solution--it simply represents the first one that came along, hit critical mass and went into action.\nAnother characteristic of nonlinear systems is that they are self-organizing. Myriads of dumb and mindless entities interconnect into tangles similar to hives of bees or masses of neurons in a brain. Out of this dumbness and quite by accident the neural network of the brain emerged, and humankind became smart for no predetermined reason at all. What is interesting is that these self-organizing systems have no focal points--they are mostly decentralized. For example, there is no central authority in the human brain, one that is in charge of all others, \"a place where it all comes together\" [Dennett 1991], only unrestrained redundancy and colossal parallelism. Accelerating up organic time via computer simulations of complexity theory; neural nets, and self-organizing evolutionary systems have been tried. However, most of the models were, understandably, realized using serial computer processing to simulate parallel behavior, as in the beehive.\nParallel processing is still in its early days and what we are trying to do here is to put the technological cart in front of a conceptual horse. Humans think in serial narratives, thus the first computers were programmed on an idea that copies that logic. The human brain obviously works through parallel activity but yields a consciousness which operates in a serial way--a linear story. Hence, we may never be able to write a software that takes parallel computer processing to its fullest capacity. Today's artificial intelligence projects are as feasible as pragmatic physical designs of four-dimensional objects, in spite of Nicholas Negroponte's daring prediction that \"machines will be intelligent\" [Negroponte 1995]. Humans are certainly the best at designing small, elegant, and manageable systems that they can understand and use creatively; complexity in nature is for the present moment beyond human reach and next to impossible to use pragmatically.\nNow what relevance do these new scientific findings have to computer music? Applying computer models of complexity theory to musical structure, then pushing the compositional system out of equilibrium to the very edge between order and chaos is rich only in possibilities. Believing that \"creativity is balanced at this knife edge between predictability and randomness\" [Jencks 1995] is wrong. All that results is something new and beyond quality control. If, as earlier posited, complexity is dumb and mindless as universal law, then human-edited musical structure based on such a complexity, cannot be otherwise. It is an illusion to believe that music constructed this way works beyond cultural boundaries on the level of transcendental communication. It should always be kept in mind that complexity of sound structure's emergent behavior is amoral and has no intrinsic value. It may result in something new and innovative but also be a blatant bore to the musical audience.\nThis problem can be viewed through Einstein's absolute mis-statement that the \"universe is a friendly place\" (for whom ???). This premise is feasible only in relation to the thinking that humans have more rights on this planet than, say, the AIDS virus. But do they? How about an asteroid which, as a result of some emergent behavior of cosmic proportions, wipes out all life on the Earth tomorrow--can we believe that the universe would really care about it? Imagine the question from the universe's point of view: does it make any difference for the universe if Mars or the Earth disappear? As far as we know at this historical moment, the universe would just mind its own business and keep on expanding into the next emergent innovation. For innovation to be considered creative, we need a viable context, an ecosystem to whose well being this innovation will contribute. Thus, rather than struggling to incorporate these new scientific findings into the structure of our electronic music, it would be better to concentrate on the environment that can understand our \"masterpieces.\" Music needs to operate within human's reach not within any chancy hyper-complexity.\nSo, what is the environment in which our music exists, and how do we conclude whether its contribution is positive or negative--this is the question with which composers ought to be concerned. Switching contexts, how do we figure out what is good and what is bad food. We look for response and, based on that response, we draw conclusions. Eating greasy cheeseburgers often, would certainly raise my cholesterol level and, in the long run, I may end up having a heart attack. Conversely, if I release my music into the public arena of my environment and get no positive response or audience interest, I probably would fall into the category of esoteric innovator rather than pertinent creator. Let me try to clarify the difference between creation and innovation using a biological analogy.\n2. Creativity vs. Innovation\nThe human body is an amazing living system intricately designed to survive in its environment. One day a new virus penetrates the body and threatens the stability of the entire system; alarms go off and differentiated lymphocytes (one type of white blood cells) approach the virus in order to figure out their makeup. Browsing at the speed of light through the enormous data base of previously produced anti-bodies, these lymphocytes find out that they have never before encountered this particular viral strain. Then, quickly, the undifferentiated lymphocytes rush to read the genetic code of the unknown virus. Using that information lymphocytes mature and become differentiated, changing their identities so that their genetic code matches the code of the unknown virus. Now, ready for the fierce battle, these new lymphocytes start to multiply as fast as they can. Each new lymphocyte produces a deadly anti-body protein which kills the virus, saving the social order of the organism. Concluding the transaction, the lymphocytes memorize this viral genetic code and store it in their data base, in case of eventual need in the future. The ecological day--and long term organismic gratification--has been won!\nOn another day, one of the body's delicate parts, a single living cell turns out to be a self-expressive innovator, although no one knows exactly why, and changes its social function--decides not to die at all. Therefore, instead of vanishing at the end of its lifetime, it starts to multiply, producing more and more innovative siblings. This geometrically progressing, separatistic growth has no concern for the societal coexistence of its constructive elements. It functions egocentrically and with self indulgence, destroying everything in its path. Cutting and ravaging the other surrounding cells and tissues this anti-social cancer grows until it reaches a point where it can expand no more. At this instance, the delicate social organization of the original system--the human body--is so disturbed that it cannot function as a whole any longer; it has to collapse and die, killing itself and the cancer. The ecological day has been lost!\nYou may wonder how all this relates to computer music. Let me explain. Computer music, tightly linked to technology and its development, became one of the biggest proponents of modernism and the musical avant-garde. The question rose: Was this music innovative or creative? There are several ways of answering. But let me use my biological analogy once more. In both cases mentioned earlier, the changes made within the cells rendered specific responses from the organism. It was not the change or the single action taken by the changed cells that made it into a good or bad choice; it was the complexity of responses and transactional ecology generated by the components of the holistic system. Quality does not exist in the cell nor in any singular component of a living system; it is rooted in the transactions among them within their existential context. Similarly, computer music artifacts cannot be analyzed apart from responses made by the environment in which they are presented. If there is to be an evaluation, it has to come from the quality of the transaction which includes not only the musical configuration but its cultural response as well.\n3. The Scope of Action\nLet me assume that the most common function of music is its attempt to communicate--to present a body of aural information which may eventually be understood and embraced by society. How does that work? Have you ever wondered why a funeral march from the Chinese culture does not sound to western ears like anything even remotely mournful? That happens because the funeral music is sound organized into culturally understood patterns unique to the Chinese. Musical sounds per se are certainly meaningless, because music cannot express anything extra-musical, unless the association to which it refers already exists in the minds of the listeners. There is no way to convey any meaning if there is no common redundant ground of socially shared experiences and responses. I would venture to say that almost all of us agree that music when placed in a public arena is primarily about communication between a composer and the audience. The question thus becomes: should my intention \"have larger orientation: the universe as a whole\" [Jencks 1995] addressing a community of intergalactic proportions where the complexity of emergent structures is commonly understandable, or should I present my music to a community of interested inhabitants on planet Earth?\nHow big, after all, does community have to be in order to be manageable for successful interaction. This can be answered by another question: what size is the audience that understands your \"language\" of communication? Nicholas Negroponte predicts that \"we will socialize in digital neighborhoods in which physical space will be irrelevant and time will play a different role\" [Negroponte 1995]. But what he misses is that the primary focus of socializing on the Net is not only transcendence of space and time, but, most importantly the transcendence of the body. To paraphrase Marshall McLuhan \"technology is the extension of human powers\" and what we see today is that \"technological prostheses had begun to 'liberate' us from the limitations of the human body\" [Slouka 1995]. Cyberspace is being tilted as a hyperreal simulacrum designed to be a pure, clean, and spotless--providing us an escape from the real world (already demoted by the Net's digerati to the acronym RL) as being \"boundless in its difficulties\" [Borgmann 1992]. This is the reason why \"the biggest difference between horses and cars,\" as Keith Hensen points out, \"is that cars don't need attention every day and horses do\" [Kelly 1994]. In other words silicon-based machines are supposed to work infallibly, while carbon based ones fail almost every day. One could well ask at this point why are humans so unhappy about the shortcomings of life and the body and such big suckers for pseudo-perfection?\n4. Perfection Chase\nHuman obsession with perfection has a long and sullen history. From the early beginnings of scientific treatment of music by the ancient Greeks, who derived Greater and Lesser Perfect Systems of musical intervals, long-desired aural perfection has never been achieved. It is not by chance that musicians, being far more interested in formal theory of musical structure, seldom talk about the meaning of musical content From a different angle, the history of western music can be perceived as a series of failed attempts in achieving absolute formal perfection as a bridge to transcendental purity and personal redemption.\nIt would be silly to blame Plato, who lived 400 BC., for believing that various types of musical scales produced an automatic subconscious process which, in turn and with great precision, were capable of modifying a listener's behavior. But two millennia later, were Boulez, Babbitt, Xenakis, LaMonte Young, and Cage, to name a few paradigmatic ones, essentially any different in a philosophical sense? All of them held to the modernist music idea, that objective musical perfection can transcendentally affect the listener. Yet they are so similar to Plato in their musical undertaking. These modern composers either attempted to create \"the perfect structure\" using various methods of extreme complexification such as total serialism, pitch set manipulations, mathematical permutations, etc., or they searched for purity by stripping the structure to the basic elements of sound such as perfect fifth \"to be held for long time.\" John Cage, as always, makes a unique case in his endeavors for perfection through indeterminancy and chance--which he believed operate unpredictably and transcendentally as does nature. It is easy to see how modernist composers struggled to improve their formal structures, getting closer and closer to ultimate purity, but it is not easy to see why.\nAchieving ultimate purity was always very important to humans. By cleansing the world around them, purging it from evil and dirtiness, humans hoped to qualify themselves for eternal life. Human effort reflects this urge toward perfection, the striving for immortality. Body was the first thing on this superhighway to purity, which had to be abandoned. Next came the real world with its imperfections. Ernest Becker makes this argument vividly clear pointing out that humans \"are truly sorry creatures because they have made death conscious\" [Becker 1975] and, therefore, they have \"to transcend the limitations of the human condition and achieve victory over impotence and finitude\" [Becker 1975]. People like to surpass their physical fate in the perishable world of flesh and blood, devising a \"nonsensible project\" that would assure immortality in a spiritual rather than physical way. Through this transference humans try to overcome what Freud defined as \"fear of self-knowledge,\" realizing that what they are is nothing but frightened creatures conscious of their limitations. I am not quite sure that the above mentioned composers were seeing their artistic activities from this perspective; because if they did, they would have realized the implausibility of their efforts.\nNo wonder that these various perfection strategies, applied to the field of music never generated any important human response. These composers treated music as a stand-alone object of absolute value. They seemed to ask, why base quality of music on cultural response, which represent no absolute categories but rather are subjective properties of the dirty world filled with non-perfection, death, and impermanence. The conviction that music, which has structural quality and is close to some imaginary perfection, affects the listener transcendentally--is not that far from Plato's ancient belief. The living proof that the whole idea of purity in music was an embarrassing failure lies in its tremendous lack of communication with any audience.\nSurely these composers must have cared whether the audience listened. Milton Babbitt's 1958 article \"Who Cares if You Listen?\" clearly exemplifies the core of the problem. Babbitt was lamenting how the \"general public is largely unaware and uninterested in\" contemporary music. Let's suppose that this paper is written in Klingon instead of English you would thus be expected to make an effort to understand it. But, would you do it? Of course not! Thus, as a writer, I can blame your ignorance for miscommunication in getting my message across. This logic makes no sense at all. On what grounds may one suppose that the public is going to be largely interested in anything or anybody who is not, in return, interested in the public interest. It should have been understandable to Babbitt why the public is much more appreciative of a car mechanic at a muffler repair shop than of a mechanical engineer with Ph.D. at NASA. The former is not more important than the latter, but because in the everyday world where ordinary people live and dwell, it is much easier to experience the benefits of having a muffler replaced than the benefits of the ingenious construction and design of the launching pad for the space shuttle. Perhaps, we need more composers who get a bit more musical \"grease\" on their compositional hands.\n5. Hypermodern Conditions\nWhat I'm trying to stress here is that as long as there are composers--or, for that matter any artists--who exclusively concentrate on transcendental subjects and do not address the human condition in the real world--communication with their audience is going to be very difficult. What makes this problem even more complicated is the present condition of our culture, exponentially driven by desire for progress via technology, which is producing historically unprecedented complexity and contradiction among its structural elements. Building denser and denser data highways, hypermodern people are confronted with a glut of information which forces them to make one of two choices. A) They can metabiologically cause excessive stress to themselves by attempting to digest all incoming data--a suicidal quest. The amount of information in a single issue of The New York Times contains more data than a person who lived 400 years ago had to process in an entire lifetime. B) Or, in order to escape this general information overload, people can resort to a tunnel vision that concentrates on an unbelievably narrow window of highly specialized interests. Such individuals are learning more and more about less and less, leaving out of the equation any semblance of a holistic understanding of how their specialty fits into the rest of existence. They soon discover that they are not living their life; their specialty is living them, and the result is an iconoclastic insanity. Neither of these choices offers an attractive life strategy, but, out of sheer informational desperation, more and more people are opting for the second alternative. Of course, these hypermodern specialists have lost touch with the common base of humanity in pursuit of their own unconnected obsessions. T. S. Eliot, in commenting on Dante's Inferno, describes Hell as some place where nothing connects with nothing. Sound familiar?\nDoes the above mirror what we are doing in our computer music world? It really does if we choose to have a hypermodern lifestyle that aborts all possibility of dwelling sanely within the limitations of the body. Look at the Internet--or even computer music conferences--where we are exchanging primarily technical information. Or examine the electronic music education, which focuses mainly on teaching computer software. Are we losing touch with our common base--music as a service oriented art? It is perfectly all right to exchange among ourselves the technical information about the makeup of our music, but, in the end, to paraphrase Gertrude Stern---a sound is a sound is a sound. No audience would particularly care to find out all the peculiarities of our highly specialized software, nor would that information bear any significance in their interpretation of our music. Perhaps we should stop making music exclusively for ourselves and look at the world outside our own narrow niche, in order to understand where we came from, and where and how we want to go. If we want our music to culturally survive we may look at into biology again, and it is not going to be \"difficult to see that a species would not survive without a `built-in' sense of responsibility both for self and for others of the species\" [Salk 1972]. What is the prospect of achieving this important task?\n6. Postmodern Conditions\nWhat we need are composers willing to give up chasing perfection in the narrow realm of highly specialized perfection and, instead, address the problem of communicating with real and imperfect human beings--and finding the most efficient way to do so. We need a new approach. The first step toward this new approach should be focusing on small neighborhoods, on communities that try understand us even as we strive to understand them, communities of common people that we care about and with which we want to share some common emotions and experiences. We should educate ourselves globally, learning all the peculiarities of the universe that we possibly can, but our efforts for musical communication ought to be directed locally. As Kevin Kelly says: \"Where there is an ecosystem, there are local experts. An outsider can muddle through an unfamiliar wilderness at some level, but to thrive or to survive a crisis, he'll require local expertise\" [Kelly 1994]. In these small neighborhoods, we may be able to concentrate on what Lyotard calls \"small narratives,\" or things that are valuable and useful to local populations. If we lose our local context, which is the only context within which we can physically dwell, we may immerse ourselves into an utterly amoral universe. We should beware of the \"global village\" concept which is evolving away from the locally-defined, individual nature, toward a collective hive-mind of the mass self. In such an environment, there is no concern for individuals or the music that they produce; communication becomes a non-controllable, unpredictable, non-understandable, and self-organizing amoral complexity.\nWe must understand that the \"Information Age\" should represent \"quality, not the quantity of information\" [Jencks 1995] and in that light, we ought to use our globally-acquired knowledge of complexity theory. As we look at the musical world of modernity, we can see that it has been moving, for the most part, according to complexity theory. Composers composed an avalanche of musical pieces that relate more to each other than to the common human condition. One innovation followed another to infinitude, just like mindless and purposeless emergent products. We can decisively conclude that complexity may be a law that governs the universe, but at the same time a law which humans must defy. The reason is best described in Becker's words: \"the tragedy of evolution is that it created a limited animal with unlimited horizons,\" [Becker 1975] making us already an exception to the rule. The humans have a mind and the wisdom which \"implies making judgments in advance rather than retrospectively\" [Salk 1973]. Evolution does not have a mind. Thus, we may as well stay on this divergent evolutionary path and start caring and communicating with each other rather than succumbing to the powers of mindless complexity that innovated us.\nThere may be a promise in postmodernism and in the possibility of culture arriving at the hyperconscious state, in which creative wisdom begins to replace innovative complexity. Holistic, environmentally-concerned creation must take precedence over separatistic, self-expression; both/and continuums must become a priority over either/or polarities. \"Post-modernism means the end of a single world view and, by extension, `a war on totality' a resistance to single explanations, a respect for the difference and a celebration of the regional, local, and particular\" [Jencks 1992]. Is the task which emerges utopian and impossible to achieve? Recently, a TV commercial advertised computers made by DIGITAL whose slogan stated: \"Man has an increasing appetite for more and more.\" They are right, if one assumes that humans follow only their instinct for instant gratification. Postmodern hyperconsciousness, which demands a disciplined slow-down, is as difficult to attain as it is to convince the public of the importance of appetite control and staying on a healthy diet. So, what do we--composers of computer music--have to do? Slow down and make sure that the amount of time we spend on figuring out new software is accompanied by an equal amount of time spent studying philosophy and aesthetics, not only in the field of music but equally in the other arts and sciences. This slow-down does not necessarily mean a quantitative change but rather a qualitative one. On the contrary, the amount of work we may be required to perform can actually increase; what would change is the focus of our efforts. We should not be attempting to bite off a single piece of innovative information that cannot be chewed and carefully digested. More time ought to be spent studying and attempting to understand the transaction between computer music and its social environment. We have to educate ourselves broadly about the various aspects of our own and other cultures, if we want to convey and share common experiences. Without this mutual understanding no communication is possible. Only connect... the rest is silence.\n7. Postmodern Strategies\nSo, what are the strategies for breaking this silence in communication we created among ourselves and our audiences? The primal concept of \"bricolage\" [Levi-Strauss 1970] is one of the strategies which postmodern culture may use for action. Bricolage is an assortment, of finite number of thoroughly understood, but limited means, for solving a large number of diverse problems. A common illustration of this concept might be the handyman who comes to your house to repair something, and innovatively and comprehensively uses the same bricolage of tools regardless the difficulty. No matter how technologically sophisticated society may be, its subjects still operate within the bricolages assembled through personal knowledge and intelligence. Most important for postmodernists is to realize the scope of one's bricolage in proportion to the scope of the musical problem before them. Global proportions versus local neighborhoods.\nIn order to successfully communicate with an audience, we have to rely on the redundancies already proven to work within the small neighborhoods. One of the most important general characteristics of postmodern musical configurations is the new use of old music. The musical information already known and previously digested by the public is presented again in new constellations. Postmodernists regard the unassimilated past as much a partner in musical creation as the yet-to-be-explored future. Therefore, postmodernism has no absolute canon related to proportion and beauty; it regards all historical styles and strategies as equally viable options in solving contextual aesthetic problems. By eclectically selecting, not only from the past but from the diverse non-western worlds of music as well; by collapsing the differences among high, middle, and low cultures--postmodernism, always with its neighborhood in mind, produces fresh and interesting musical constellations. This collage of divergent cultural levels may often carry more than one possible interpretive meaning; these meanings are double coded and are configurations fraught with potential for parody, pastishe, and irony. When combined, all these characteristics invariably produce products that are disjunct and discontinuous--which is not to say that they are similar to a disjunctness and discontinuity often associated with musical innovations of the avant-garde. If there is a single negative point about the avant-garde in music, then it is the use of discontinuity and disjunctness without any historical or compositional reflexivity. This music has been obsessed with one unconnected novelty after another, never going back and re-evaluating what has gone before in relation to what is going on now. Being aware of this perceptual problem, postmodernists repeatedly use reflexivity as one of the most important features in their work and their compositions. This reflective concern also requires the postmodern computer music composer to study extensively the ideational redundancies embedded in the culture. More importantly, the composer has to find ways of clearly explaining to the intended audience the intentions of the musical compositions and the necessity of engaging the designated public in musical disjunctness with an active, reflective perception. No reflexivity in the contemporary composer's cultural matrix, or no reflexive intentions and intellect in the contemporary listener--no connection, and no music!\n[Becker 1975] Ernest, Escape From Evil, Free Press, New York, 1975\n[Borgmann 1992] Albert, Crossing The Postmodern Divide, The University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1992\n[Dennett 1991] Daniel C., Consciousness Explained, Little, Brown & Company, Toronto, 1991\n[Jencks 1995] Charles, The Architecture Of The Jumping Universe: A Polemic: How Complexity Science Is Changing, Architecture and Culture, Academy Editions, London, 1995\n[Jencks 1992] Charles, ed., The Postmodern Reader, St. Martin's Press, New York, 1992\n[Kelly 1994] Kevin, Out Of Control: The New Biology of Machines, Social Systems and Economic World, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, New York, 1994\n[Levi-Strauss 1970] Claude, The Savage Mind, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, 1970\n[Negroponte 1995] Nicholas, Being Digital, Vintage Books, New York, 1995\n[Salk 1972] Jonas, Man Unfolding, Harper & Row, New York, 1972\n[Salk 1973] Jonas, The Survival Of The Wisest, Harper & Row, New York, 1973\n[Slouka 1995] Mark, War Of The Worlds: Cyberspace and the High-Tech Assault on Reality, Basic Books, New York, 1995\n[Waldrop 1992] M.

        "raw_content": "Using Patents to Claim Things You Didn't Invent\nCan Dr. Mitchell's testimony in Google vs. Oracle finally be used to drive the stake through the heart of software patents?\nHere's the situation in a nutshell. We have a disagreement between several experts on two points, dynamic vs. static function, and symbolic vs. non-symbolic reference. The patents say dynamic and symbolic, and Dr. August claims Dalvik's dexopt is doing the thing the patent claims neither dynamically nor symbolically. (If they are right, neither does Java, which means that the Sun patent could well be on something never actually implemented, one of the common travesties of the way software patents are currently done.)\nDr. Mitchell, for Oracle, claims that Google's experts are perverting the meaning of both dynamic and symbolic.\nBut an awful lot of software engineers agree with Dr. August's analysis, and his use of both terms.\nFor my part, I have heard computer scientists (generally of the type that don't write low-level code) use dynamic and symbolic in the sense that Dr. Mitchell uses it.\nBut, again, for my part, if we have to use the semantics that Dr. Mitchell is using, I cannot understand how the patent could have been granted, how these claims could have survived the review. If the patent is interpreted that way, there is absolutely nothing new (novel), original, clever, or in any way, shape, or form, patent-worthy in the claims.\nWhich makes me think that Oracle's lawyers must have been arguing in the patent office something quite different from what they are arguing in court here.\nThe difference is an interesting topic, and I will blog about it elsewhere sometime, but the point we have here is that software, like all math, is abstract. Abstract means that there is more than one way to interpret any program or software function, whether written in a high-level restricted dialect of English (as most software patents are done) or in real source code that can be compiled and run on real machines.\nEven a real program, instantiated and running on a real system, is still subject to interpretation. Change the icons, and much of the sub-function of a traffic control system looks like sub-functions of a factory control system.\nThere's a danger when you mix abstract with law. That's why the US Constitution doesn't guarantee freedom or privacy or just about any of the democratic ideals specifically. Even when it talks about family welfare, it does not try to define that, leaving the implementation to the individual states, where there is a better chance of making meaningful laws.\nWhen you bring abstract stuff into the courtroom, lawyers can pretty much twist it whatever way suits them, and you have to rely on the judge being unusually (even for judges) sharp, fair, just, knowledgeable, etc., to protect people from predatory legal practice. The Founders knew that. That's the real reason for the Constitutional injunction against all the former trappings of royalty and royalism. (False royalism, but bringing that up will just confuse things here.)\nWell, patents are actually one of the few terms they couldn't quite get rid of. But the Constitution specifies limited time. It also specifies another limit that tends to get washed over quite regularly, these days -- there is no provision for giving people rights to things they didn't create or invent.\n(I'd prefer that the sale of copyrights or patents should be illegal, but I'm not prepared to argue that here.)\nBut it is very clear that a patent should not be expanded in the court of a lawsuit beyond what the patent office recognized as patented. That's happening all the time, these (especially with non-practicing entities \"owning\" patents), and it's what is happening here. Oracle is trying to use their patents, which they bought from Sun, to exercise control over something no one at either Oracle or Sun ever invented, something that actually predates both companies.\nThe abstract nature of software makes it particularly susceptible to this kind of expansion.\nOkay, I just said the same thing I said above, but it seems it has to be emphasized and said in many ways, before people get the idea.\nAnd this is why software patents are not appropriate. It's far and away too easy for unscrupulous or misguided lawyers to expand the scope of the patent way beyond what it should be.\nCopyrighting SSO (at least in APIs) Sure, you can ...\nIntellectual Paucity",

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 48, p. 425301. ISSN 1751-8113 [Article]\nFulltext_fragile.pdf - Accepted Version\nIf X and Y are independent, Y and Z are independent, and so are X and Z, one might be tempted to conclude that X, Y, and Z are independent. But it has long been known in classical probability theory that, intuitive as it may seem, this is not true in general. In quantum mechanics one can ask whether analogous statistics can emerge for configurations of particles in certain types of entangled states. The explicit construction of such states, along with the specification of suitable sets of observables that have the purported statistical properties, is not entirely straightforward. We show that an example of such a configuration arises in the case of an N-particle GHZ state, and we are able to identify a family of observables with the property that the associated measurement outcomes are independent for any choice of $2,3,\\ldots ,N-1$ of the particles, even though the measurement outcomes for all N particles are not independent. Although such states are highly entangled, the entanglement turns out to be 'fragile', i.e. the associated density matrix has the property that if one traces out the freedom associated with even a single particle, the resulting reduced density matrix is separable.\n21 September 2015 Published Online",

        "title": "Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant: Clovis Technological Organization, Understanding Technological Strategies through Cached Assemblages | The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Research Inventory",
        "raw_content": "With support from the National Science Foundation, Bruce Huckell and David Kilby will investigate caches of artifacts made by Clovis hunter-gatherers. The Clovis culture, best known for its large fluted projectile points found in association with extinct mammals such as mammoth and giant bison, occurs extensively in North America, perhaps over the entire continent. Reliable dates from Clovis sites cluster tightly between 13,500 and 13,000 calendar years B.P. Clovis lithic tool assemblages commonly include fluted projectile (spear) points, large stone bifaces and bifacial cores, blades and blade cores, and a limited variety of smaller tools made on flakes and blades. Bone and mammoth ivory tools are less common, but equally geographically widespread components of Clovis assemblages. Clovis caches have been found throughout many areas of the United States Plains and Rocky Mountains, as well as the Great Lakes area and currently reside in museums and private collections around the United States.<br/><br/>The goal of this research is to provide a comprehensive view of the organization of Clovis lithic technology. Most of what is known about Clovis technology is derived from artifacts at the end of their useful lives that have been discarded or abandoned at kill or camp sites. Current models of Clovis toolkits are largely reconstructed from these discarded portions of tools and waste material. Caches of Clovis artifacts, however, provide a unique window into Clovis technology that is not found in other Clovis assemblages, because artifacts from caches appear to have entered the archaeological record at some point before their usefulness was depleted. Thus, they may more directly represent the components and form of the working toolkit carried by Clovis people. By systemically linking artifacts from caches to those from kill and camp sites, we can address traditional issues of primary artifact production, artifact use, and discard, as well as issues concerning maintenance and storage strategies in between. <br/><br/>Over 20 Clovis caches have been identified and reported; however, this designation obscures considerable variability. It is unlikely that all caches served the same purpose. Their functions may have included, among other things, artifact and raw material storage, and ritual abandonment. Deducing the general function of individual caches is a necessary step in relating them to abandoned artifacts from non-cache sites. Thus, in addition to understanding technology, this research will investigate caching as a behavior, and evaluate possible roles that it played in Clovis technological organization and land use. <br/><br/>Caches are discrete assemblages that provide a snapshot of artifact form at some point along a continuum of stone tool reduction subsequent to raw material acquisition and previous to discard. Approaching cached assemblages from this perspective can potentially fill a critical gap in the available data concerning Clovis lithic technology. In the process we will gather and make available data that are not easily accessed due to inadequate publication, dispersed locations, and, in many cases, private ownership. <br/><br/>Despite roughly six decades of intensive investigation, there remains significant uncertainty concerning even the most general aspects of Clovis adaptations. The results of this research will provide insight into the technology, subsistence, mobility, and ideology of these people who were arguably the first inhabitants of the New World. More specifically, this research stands to define and evaluate the role of material caching in the adaptations of Clovis people, the results of which may be applicable to a better understanding of all hunter-gatherer groups.",

The following are signs and symptoms from organophosphates in general, which are due to the anticholinesterase activity of this class of compounds. All of these effects may not be documented for acephate, but could potentially occur in individual cases.\nUSES: Acephate is used as an insecticide and registered for use by the US Environmental Protection Agency for a variety of fruit and vegetable crops, in food handling establishments, ornamental plants, and for use in and around the home. It is both a contact and systemic insecticide.\nMILD TO MODERATE POISONING: MUSCARINIC EFFECTS: Can include bradycardia, salivation, lacrimation, diaphoresis, vomiting, diarrhea, urination, and miosis. NICOTINIC EFFECTS: Tachycardia, hypertension, mydriasis, and muscle cramps. Based on animal studies in rats, acephate is a relatively weak cholinesterase inhibitor when given orally; it was approximately six orders of magnitude weaker.\nDELAYED EFFECTS: Intermediate syndrome is characterized by paralysis of respiratory, cranial motor, neck flexor, and proximal limb muscles 1 to 4 days after apparent recovery from cholinergic toxicity, and prior to development of delayed peripheral neuropathy. Manifestations can include the inability to lift the neck or sit up, ophthalmoparesis, slow eye movements, facial weakness, difficulty swallowing, limb weakness (primarily proximal), areflexia, and respiratory paralysis. Recovery begins 5 to 15 days after onset. Distal sensory-motor polyneuropathy may rarely develop 6 to 21 days following exposure to some organophosphate compounds, however, it has not yet been reported in humans after exposure to acephate. Characterized by burning or tingling followed by weakness beginning in the legs which then spreads proximally. In severe cases, it may result in spasticity or flaccidity. Recovery requires months and may not be complete.",

        "title": "Robert Rafii | Attorney at Law \u00bb Justice is fashionable. Your attorney should be, too!",
        "raw_content": "Justice is fashionable.\nYour attorney should be, too!\nFashion Doesn't Happen Overnight\nRobert was the youngest graduate of his class at Southwestern Law School, a historic Los Angeles landmark pictured in the background. He has been the recipient of several legal awards, including the Witkin Award for Academic Excellence, the Wildman & Schumacher Scholarship, and the Edna Kraemer Dunlap Scholarship. Robert is also certified as a professional LexisNexis and WestlawNext researcher. He earned his Bachelor of Arts cum laude from UCLA with a major in political science.\nRobert\u2019s primary focus is drafting, editing, and negotiating contractual agreements. He has a passion for intellectual property (IP) law, which encompasses copyrights, trademarks, and patents. Most notably, Robert interned for the Sherman Oaks law firm Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP, which served as counsel to such clients as Skype, Mad Dogg Athletics, Beats by Dre, and Rdio. Robert subsequently interned with Mad Dogg Athletics, where he worked on trademark enforcement and other intellectual property issues pertaining to their world-famous Spinning brands of exercise classes and equipment.\nWhen he\u2019s not fighting to rid the world of unfashionable injustice, Robert enjoys pondering meaningful things, developing websites, playing guitar, building computers, and managing investment portfolios. He also holds a California Department of Real Estate Salesperson License, a California Notary Public Commission, and certification from the Association of Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS).\nIn his very first contract case, Robert obtained a $47,668.00 award for a business client pursuant to court judgment. Since then, he has garnered ample experience drafting and reviewing contracts in many areas, including but not limited to business operating agreements, licensing, tenancy/leasing, real estate purchases, and employment.\nAll business is done by contract or by implication thereof. A contract is a promise or a set of promises for the breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in some way recognizes as a duty. Contracts are often ridden with problematic verbiage, especially when left unreviewed by counsel. Here are three examples of fashion failure:\nClient will pay Robert a suitable amount to review Client\u2019s contract.\n\u0097 Material Ambiguity: What exactly is considered SUITABLE? \u0097\nClient will pay Assassin $9000 to murder Client\u2019s abomination of a spouse.\n\u0097 Illegality: The payment amount is clear this time, but contract law will not recognize criminal performance as a duty. \u0097\nSpouse One promises Spouse Two never to ask Spouse Two for child support after divorce.\n\u0097 Public Policy Issues: First, this is against society's interest in raising children. Second, this is against the child's interest as a third party. \u0097\nA contract is a testament to the personal or corporate integrity of an entity. A poorly-written contract is not only a legal nightmare, but also an embarrassment. It is the equivalent of wearing pajamas to a Presidential dinner. If you don\u2019t like the President, it is wiser to wear a suit to his party and disgrace him by consuming all his expensive food. Similarly, if you\u2019re at odds with the person on the other side of your contract, it is crucial not to be lackadaisical with the drafting and review of the agreement document. Rather than expressing your dislike through apathetic contractual drafting, focus instead on how you can best take advantage of your arch nemesis to the full extent afforded by contract law. Hire a lawyer to draft your agreement or to perform document review, and you\u2019ll sleep better at night.\nIntellectual Property (IP) is an umbrella term for trademarks, copyrights, and patents. Sometimes the protections offered by this trinity can overlap, but their differences are mostly clear:\nTrademark law protects brand names, slogans, and logos. Walmart and McDonald\u2019s are not just the bastions of American hegemony\u2013they are, in name and style, the \u201cintellectual properties\u201d of corporate America. If you too boldly dream of one day owning your very own business that you have driven to success on the backs of minimum wage workers whose living incomes are subsidized by the Federal Government, it is crucial that you do not follow in the infringing footsteps of Mr. McDowell. Robert has experience conducting trademark searches and registrations.\nCopyright protects literature and audio/visuals, including your favorite films, photos, songs, and musical works. This area of the law may come into play when people illegally download pornography. There are criminal laws in place that make it illegal for children under 18 to be exposed to pornography, but there are also copyright laws in place that prohibit the viewing of pornography if it is obtained by illegal means irrespective of age, i.e. pirated rather than paid for. It is of course more common to hear about porn lawsuits involving copyright infringement than ones involving illegal distribution of pornography to minors. From a financial standpoint, it is easy to understand these unbalanced priorities. Robert can help you register your copyright by filing a simple form and depositing one or two samples of the work (depending on what it is) with the U.S. Copyright Office.\nFinally, patent law protects inventions like Viagra and designs like the Thong Diaper. However, if you are like Colonel Sanders or Robert Woodruff, you may wish to withhold your \u201cherbs and spices\u201d recipe as a trade secret by guarding it in a vault. As long as your trade secret is not revealed to the general public, and as long as it isn\u2019t subject to inevitable, independent discovery by equally-creative competition, you can forego revealing it publicly in an application for the limited 20-year duration of patent protection. Thus, with patent law, one must consider the trade-off between maintaining a trade secret versus coming out of the closet with a patent application.\nContrary to the implications of the phrase, one need not exercise much intellect to get the protections of \u201cintellectual\u201d property law. Indeed, the Supreme Court once said originality in the copyright context requires merely a \u201cmodicum of creativity.\u201d Now get out there and make your Uncle Sam proud!\nEveryone knows about this one. A lot of lawyers will try to sub-categorize this area of the law so their websites get greater keyword visibility on search engines. Their regular list of lingo goes along the lines of dog bites, motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, car accidents, wrongful death, drain bamage\u2026 you get the point. It\u2019s all the same thing\u2013PERSONAL INJURY (PI)! You start with an insurance claim, and if you\u2019re unable to settle with insurance or if insurance coverage is lacking, the next stage is litigation: filing a lawsuit in court and performing discovery, i.e., long exchanges of written and oral information between the two parties involved in the accident. Of course, many other categories of the law involve these same concepts, but the two-step \u201cInsurance, then litigation\u201d process is supremely prevalent in PI.\n40% -- PI Cases Accepted\n100% -- PI Cases Settled\n60 -- Average Lawyer IQ\nAs the dollar outcome of each PI case is heavily fact-centric, Robert is unashamedly selective about which cases he will accept. Unfortunately, and based on prior statistics, Robert is more likely to reject prospective PI cases than to accept them. Still, consultations by appointment are welcome.\nYou may not be planning to die, but it is imperative that you be dying to plan. To exit this world fashionably means to continue controlling the realm of the living by calling the shots from your grave. Robert\u2019s proudest moment was a pro bono opportunity to successfully draft a will and trust combo for an honorable 93-year-old Holocaust survivor back in December 2014.\nA trust is a relationship whereby property is held by one party for the benefit of another. A trust is created by a \u201csettlor,\u201d who transfers some or all of his or her property to a trustee. The trustee holds that property for the trust\u2019s beneficiaries. The trustee is given legal title to the trust property, but is obligated to act for the good of the beneficiaries. For a cool example, check out the Getty Trust\u2013the world\u2019s wealthiest art institution!\nTrusts are frequently created in wills, defining how money and property will be handled for children or other beneficiaries. A will is created when the declarant of the will, the testator, names one or more persons to manage his or her estate and provides for the distribution of his property at death. For instance, if you are like William Shakespeare, you may opt to leave only your second best bed for your beloved wife.\nA will may also contain funeral and burial instructions. It could come useful in avoiding situations such as this:\n\u0097 Joan Rivers \u0097\nThe immigration process varies depending on whether you\u2019re trying to obtain a visa, a green card, or citizenship (naturalization). What\u2019s the same, however, is the countless number of confusing USCIS forms involved. Oh, and if you want to transact legally with a sanctioned country, Robert can get you OFAC licenses too!\nWhether you\u2019re trying to come to America to work, to get an education, or to be with your spouse or immediate family, the immigration process can be bureaucratically painful, and it is always nice to have a lawyer\u2019s shoulder to cry on. Robert also has great sympathy for those who have been subject to persecution, especially when it comes to refugee or asylum matters.\nMost notably, Robert is an expert in obtaining marriage-based permanent residency, and has experience representing couples as well as battered spouses who face challenges in obtaining their green cards.\nAs this chart shows, immigration is booming in this country. The lifeblood of the US economy is immigrants, and with inevitable immigration reform in Congress, the boom is likely to continue. For undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as minors, there is room for optimism. With the Great Recession subsiding, America has claimed back its fashionable status as the land of opportunity.\nBabak RafieiReviewsout of 22 reviews\nCopyright \u00a9 2018 - Designed by Robert Rafii",

        "raw_content": "Many pop albums are just a collection of songs which happen to be released at the same. But there are some others with songs that we, as listeners, can only understand in relation to the context in which they were created, written and recorded. This is the case of Blood of the Tracks, which will always be regarded as the ultimate divorce album as Dylan recorded it around the time his marriage fell apart.\nFrom The Bed And Beyond, Astrid Swan\u2019s newest album, certainly belongs to this second category. Even if you\u2019ve heard little or nothing about it, the theme of the album presents itself crystal clear the first time you listen to it. These are songs about becoming a mother and falling ill with cancer. Songs about your body failing, about the fear of leaving your loved ones behind. Songs recorded in the aftermath of cancer, while the body is in the process of healing.\nIf you\u2019ve heard a bit more about the album, you\u2019re probably award this is a five-star album. Critics are loving this album and reviews are raving about it. They are probably right. It\u2019s such an earnest, brutally honest and emotional effort. As expected, many of the songs come from a dark, sad place, presenting blunt, merciless words. Some of the lyrics feel like inserting needles under your fingernails. Go for a walk and listen to them, reflect on them. \u201cI\u2019m afraid I\u2019ll never sing\u201d, the singer sings in \u2019Song of Fear\u2019. \u201cI\u2019m afraid of broken bones/ I\u2019m afraid of hospitals/ I\u2019m afraid I never kissed enough/ I\u2019m afraid of disappearing/ from the hearts of the ones I love/ I\u2019m afraid of dying young\u201d. Bloody scary song.\nHowever, towards the end of the song Astrid repeats relieve words: \u201cI\u2019m alive\u201d. That\u2019s the hope and light which remains at the core of the album. That\u2019s the essential takeaway of this album. Be alive. Enjoy every sandwich.\nFrom The Bed And Beyond joins a list of albums that empathize in times of cancer and loss, and it does it as one of the most gratifying and compelling examples. It\u2019s a difficult album, uncomfortable at times. But it\u2019s not depressing. Let yourself be carried by its elegant and sweet jazz touches, its intimate blues and the colorful synths and electronic soundscapes. While the music does not make a break from the negative phase of life in which it was created, From the Bed And Beyond dignifies the pop album as an art form.\nFind out more about From The Bed And Beyond in this insightful Q&A with fellow Rosvot blogger June.\nCatch one of the upcoming Astrid Swan gigs next week at Tavastia in Helsinki (29 March w/ Jennie Abrahamson), in Tallinn at Tallinn Music Week (1 April) and later in the summer at Flow Festival.\nAvainsanat: Astrid Swan, Pop\nHaastattelussa Astrid Swan\nAstrid Swan @ WHS Teatteri Union\nYksi kommentti kirjoitukseen Astrid Swan \u2013 From The Bed And Beyond\nLovely review! The album sure is magnificent, and one doesn\u2019t need to have the same experiences with motherhood or illness to feel so.\nSadly the Pitchfork link you put about the cancer/loss album list didn\u2019t work. :/ Sounded interesting.",

        "raw_content": "Rushden Echo, 15th February 1918\nMr. Harry Abbott\nA SERIOUS ACCIDENT occurred at 76 Higham-road, on Wednesday, about 8p.m., to Mr. Harry Abbott, eldest son of Mr. Geo. Abbott, dairyman. It appears that the unfortunate victim had gone to an outhouse with a candle, and by some means or other his clothing became ignited. In his alarm, Mr. Abbott rushed into the yard, and the ignited clothing being caught by the wind at once began to burn more fiercely. He shouted for help, and his father and mother, the latter having just got up from a sick bed, at once ran to his assistance. An attempt was made to extinguish the flames by wrapping a great coat round the sufferer, but the fire had obtained too great a hold for much to be done, and Mrs. Abbott\u2019s hands were badly burned in her brave attempts to save her son. Mr. Harry Abbott\u2019s jersey, waistcoat, and underclothing were absolutely calcined. The only thing that was found possible was to tear the clothing from the sufferer\u2019s body, and it was in this attempt that Mrs. Abbott sustained her burns. As soon as possible the poor fellow, who was in great agony, was got to bed, and Master Willie Tassell, who happened to be passing the house at the time of the accident, ran for Dr. Greenfield, who came immediately and dressed the injuries. It was found that Mr. Abbott had sustained severe burns from head to foot. Inquiries made on Thursday morning elicited the information that the sufferer had passed as comfortable a night as could be expected, and had borne his pain with exceptional patience. He is naturally suffering severely from shock as well as from his burns, and now lies in a very critical condition. Mr. George Abbott informed a representative of the \u201cRushden Echo\u201d this (Friday) morning that his son had passed a restless night and that his condition remained much about the same.",

At the outbreak of the Second World War he belonged both to the HAC and to the Hitler Youth.\nNurtured in the international society of the Cote d\u2019Azur, in 1939 he was working as a stockbroker in the City. To please his boss he had joined the HAC but his heart was with the Hitler Jugend with whom he spent every moment of his holidays.\nThe reader will discover by what twists of fate it fell out that Willy eventually served in the RHA and not in the German Army. The decision was made but the crisis was far from over. He was captured in North Africa by his former Nazis friends. He escaped and was recaptured no less than six times-eventually being sent to the concentration camp at Regensburg, but each time he knew that he was escaping as much from his fellow-prisoners as from the enemy.\nNot only is this a fantastic adventure story, it is also a deeply moving account of a man haunted by his past, desperately trying to lay the ghost of his own conscience.",

        "raw_content": "Russia-IC / Education & Science / Science Overview / Arctic Floating University Reached the Northernmost Point\nArctic Floating University Reached the Northernmost Point\nThe expedition of the Arctic Floating University (AFU) has reached the Northernmost point in the history of the project, the expedition leader Konstantin Zaykov reported to TASS. As he said, access to these latitudes became possible due to climate changes.\nOn Tuesday the research ship Professor Molchanov with the Arctic expedition aboard stopped at the point with coordinates 81 degrees 15 minutes 7 seconds north latitude to the north of the islands of Kuna and Kane of the Franz Josef Land archipelago. This is the record for the project\u2019s lifetime since 2012.\n\"The AFU-2017 has reached the northernmost point of not only this voyage, but all expeditions in the history of the floating university. It is the point north of the Kuna and Kane islands, near the island of Becker. Global climate change in the Arctic makes it possible to work in areas that were previously inaccessible. That is important for the training of young specialists who will work in the Arctic,\" \u2013 Mr. Zaikov pointed out.\nThe 9th expedition of the scientific and educational project\" Arctic Floating University\" was held from July 8 to 28, 2017. The expedition of 58 people, with more than half of them representing Bulgaria, Switzerland, Cuba, the Netherlands, France and Germany, travelled on board the ship \"Professor Molchanov\".\nThis is not just a research project, but also an educational project, so 30 participants of the expedition are students of Russian and foreign universities. The Arctic Floating University is a joint project of the M.V. Lomonosov Northern (Arctic) Federal University (Arkhangelsk) and Russian Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring.\nStudies in Fersman Island\nThe scientific group settled on Fersman Island in the central part of Franz Josef Land Archipelago and carried out field studies having selected rock samples. \"Landing on the Fersman Island, in an initially unpromising area, turned out to be very successful, and interesting results were obtained on paleomagnetism and the emission of carbon dioxide. Further, these data will be processed on the mainland \", said expedition leader Konstantin Zaykov.\nAccording to forecasts, this part of the archipelago was expected to be covered with ice, but the ship managed to approach the island in the area of Krenkel \u200b\u200bHayes Meteorological Observatory. On the island of Hayes, the landing had to be interrupted due to a polar bear coming. The group was evacuated from the island. The small island of Fersman is located opposite the island of Hayes, and the work was completed in full there.\nThe geological group of the expedition selected more than 40 rock samples: \"We took paleomagnetic rock samples from interplastic dolerite bodies and dolerite contact probes with host rocks. What we have found is very important for understanding local geology.\n\"The small island turned out to be very informative,\" - said geologist Nikolai Mikhaltsov from the Novosibirsk State University. According to him, later on these samples will be studied in the laboratory. In particular, a special chamber, isolated from the Earth's magnetic field, is required to study the samples.\nTags: Arctic Arctic Floating University\nMars-500 Chronicles: One Month of Total Isolation Artificial Soil for Land Reclamation Invented by Scientists from Krasnoyarsk Over 15 Thousand Archaeological Finds Discovered in Zaryadie Park of Moscow New Materials for Aircraft Engines Created FASO to Finance Research of Changing Ecosystem of Lake Baikal\nChukotka Gourmet Tours Moscow Estate Jazz Festival Tourism Brand Russian business Exhibitions in Moscow Phobos Soil culture Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia Fashion Krasnodar Yakutsk Russia-Tajikistan Anatoly Durov Amur Region Voroshilovsky bridge Russian people Vladivostok airport Telescopes Archeology Goats St. Petersburg Active Travel Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Dmitry Sandzhiyev Gaming Nizhny Novgorod Region Tretyakov Gallery Russian hotels Music Festivals invest Russian history Ilya Chashnik Russian Cinema Noize MC Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts Russian human rights activists Russian property Russian National Parks Sochi Olympics Russian Literature Sochi Winter Olympics Crimea Military Museums Russian Orthodox Church MAKS-2015 Sergiev Posad Russian tourism Kirov",

The employee and another person not in the video can be heard laughing as the man gathered up his wet belongings.\nThat poor guy. You never know what someone is going through in life. \ud83d\ude14 \u2639\ufe0f\u2639\ufe0f!!!!we need to find who is responsible!! SYRACUSE, NY Dunkin\u2019 Donuts. SHARE SHARE SHARE. Here\u2019s a go fund me of $150 to get him a new set of clothes and a meal and phone charger!!! https://www.gofundme.com/man-sleeping-at-syracuse-dunkin&rcid=r01-153839668215-c35ae183d8e54db1&pc=ot_co_campmgmt_m\nPosted by Samuel Breazeale on Sunday, September 30, 2018\nThe person shown in the video was identified on GoFundMe as Jeremy (Youngs) Dufresne. By Tuesday morning, a fundraiser set up to help him in the wake of the encounter had raised more than $8,000.\nDufresne suffers from schizophrenia and was in the Dunkin\u2019 restaurant to charge his phone so he could call his mother to say goodnight, a local newspaper, the Post-Standard reported.\n\u201cHe probably had some personal problems of his own and needed someone to talk to,\u201d Dufresne told the newspaper of the worker who poured water on him. \u201cAnd he took it out on someone else, like me.\u201d\nA homeless advocate stopped by the store to object to the man\u2019s treatment and threatened a boycott if management didn\u2019t address the issue, according to the newspaper.\nThe incident prompted a demonstration of roughly 20 people outside the store, with one protester carrying a sign reading \u201cHomeless Lives Matter,\u201d according to a local radio radio station.\n\u201cThe employees involved in the incident have been terminated, and we will be contacting the individual in the video to apologize for the negative experience,\u201d stated Kimberly Wolak, chief operating officer of Wolak Group, which owns about 85 Dunkin\u2019 Donuts stores in New York, New Hampshire and Maine.\n\u201cWe were extremely disturbed by the behavior of our employees captured in the video. It not only violated our written policies, but goes against our core values as an organization,\u201d Wolak added in a statement supplied by Dunkin\u2019 Donuts.\nThe company recently announced it\u2019s rebranding itself and that as of January it will be officially known simply as Dunkin\u2019.\nTesla\u2019s breakneck pace produced more than 53000 Model 3s this quarter\nTesla made 53,239 Model 3s in the third quarter of 2018, which is nearly twice as many as it produced in the previous quarter, the company announced on Tuesday. The automaker delivered 55,840 Model 3s and 83,500 cars in total (including the Models X and S). That means Tesla sold, in one quarter, \u201cmore than 80 percent\u201d as many cars as it did in all of 2017, the company said.\nThose production and delivery numbers are right in line with what the company had previously estimated. (Tesla said that it expected to make 50,000 to 55,000 Model 3 vehicles in Q3 and predicted that \u201cdeliveries should outpace production.\u201d) It also shows that Tesla was able to increase its pace of Model 3 output despite being mired in the drama surrounding Elon Musk\u2019s abandoned attempt to take the company private, which resulted in charges of securities fraud from the SEC, a quick settlement, and his stepping down as chairman.\nTesla fell short of its goal of making 6,000 Model 3s in one week\nThe average production of Model 3s per week \u2014 the yardstick Musk has used to describe the health of the company\u2019s production efforts \u2014 for the quarter was a little over 4,000. That\u2019s still short of the 6,000 per week he targeted earlier this year, but it\u2019s high enough for the company to consider production \u201cstabilized,\u201d according to the release.\nThe Model 3 is the key to Tesla\u2019s goal of profitability, but with such a dramatic increase in the numbers, the company has spent the last few weeks in what Musk dubbed \u201cdelivery logistics hell.\u201d Some cars have piled up in parking lots around the country, and customers have been waiting for hours in long lines for their new vehicles.\nTesla even turned to its loyal fan base for help, enlisting volunteers to help push as many Model 3s out the door by the end of the quarter as possible. It offered discounts and incentives to entice buyers, and it allowed customers with existing Model S and X leases to end their agreements early if they nabbed a new car before the quarter was out.\nTesla even turned to its loyal fan base for help\n\u201cToday\u2019s production announcement offers a bit of redemption to the Tesla faithful,\u201d said Jeremy Acevedo, manager of industry analysis at Edmunds. \u201cIt\u2019s refreshing to see the company making headlines for producing cars, not controversies. Between the makeshift tent, extra shifts and Elon\u2019s all-nighters at the factory, it hasn\u2019t exactly been a traditional path getting here, but make no mistake that producing 50,000 Model 3s in Q3 is significant milestone.\u201d\nAcevedo said the real question is whether Tesla could sustain this pace of production, particularly in light of the delivery challenges. \u201cWhile Tesla superfans and owners have generously volunteered their time to assist, this isn\u2019t necessarily a sustainable model that Elon can count on moving forward,\u201d he said.\n\u201cToday\u2019s production announcement offers a bit of redemption to the Tesla faithful\u201d\nExactly how much this effort affected the company\u2019s bottom line won\u2019t be clear for a few weeks, as Tesla isn\u2019t scheduled to report its earnings for the quarter until the beginning of November. (Musk said in a company email over the weekend that Tesla was \u201cvery close to achieving profitability,\u201d and he\u2019s promised the company will maintain a profit going forward.) Whatever the financial numbers end up looking like, it\u2019s clear that scaling the pace of deliveries with increased production will be an important task for the company going forward.\n\u201c[D]elivery and outbound vehicle logistics were our main challenges during Q3,\u201d the company wrote. The exact reason for the delivery backlog wasn\u2019t made clear. Musk recently claimed on Twitter that a shortage of delivery haulers could be to blame, and he even suggested that Tesla would build its own \u2014 though industry representatives have disputed this.\nOthers outside the company have suggested that Tesla\u2019s insistence on developing its own internal resource management software left it ill-prepared to handle its current pace. Either way, Tesla claimed relief is on the way. \u201cWe made many improvements to these processes throughout the quarter, and plan to make further improvements in Q4 so that we can scale successfully,\u201d the company said.\nTesla claimed relief is on the way\nTesla also said it\u2019s \u201caccelerating construction\u201d of its planned Gigafactory in Shanghai, China, because of President Trump\u2019s ongoing trade war. Announced in July, Musk previously estimated that the Gigafactory there would need a few years to be built out enough to begin production. Tesla says that the 40 percent import tariff applied to the cost of every one of its cars in China, combined with their ineligibility for government incentives, as well as the overall cost of shipping, means the company is at a \u201c55 to 60 percent cost disadvantage.\u201d Localizing production in China is a potential, if not immediate, way around all this.\nThe company also has long-term plans to build a new Gigafactory in Europe. But its short-term financial outlook remains a concern for some investors. Musk has been adamant that Tesla won\u2019t need to raise more money by the end of the year and that turning a profit on the Model 3 will be enough to help buffer against the company\u2019s diminishing cash supply, which was down to $2.2 billion last quarter from $3.4 billion at the start of the year.\nTesla Reports an Upturn in Production\nTesla said Tuesday that it produced 80,142 cars in the third quarter, a 50 percent rise from the second quarter, as the Model 3 sedan began rolling off its assembly line in larger volumes.\nThe total included 53,239 Model 3s, nearly doubling the number Tesla made in the previous quarter. That implies that the company\u2019s output averaged about 4,000 Model 3s a week, fewer than the 5,000 that Elon Musk, the chief executive, has been pushing for.\nThe increase in production is a rare bit of good news for a company that has been shaken by a succession of unsettling developments over the last two months. Last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission sued Mr. Musk in a securities-fraud case, and two days later Mr. Musk accepted a settlement with the agency.\nThe case arose from Mr. Musk\u2019s tweet on Aug. 7 in which he said he planned to turn Tesla into a private company at $420 a share and had \u201cfunding secured,\u201d a plan that turned out to be less fleshed out than he suggested.\nThe S.E.C. is still looking into Mr. Musk\u2019s past claims about the company\u2019s production goals.\n[Read more: A group of internet sleuths is tracking clues to Tesla\u2019s production and delivery issues.]\nThe Model 3, its most affordable offering so far, is crucial to Tesla\u2019s success. But while the company has increased the production of Model 3s, Tesla has run into a new problem: It can\u2019t seem to deliver all the cars it is making to its customers. Mr. Musk has called this \u201cdelivery logistics hell.\u201d\nA more important test will be whether Tesla can clear up its shipping issues in the fourth quarter, analysts said.\n\u201cThe real question now is if Tesla can really sustain this pace, particularly in light of the delivery issues the company has faced recently,\u201d said Jeremy Acevedo, manager of industry analysis at Edmunds, an auto-data firm.\nTesla reported that it had 8,048 Model 3s and 3,776 other cars in transit to customers at the end of the third quarter.\n\u201cWith production stabilized, delivery and outbound vehicle logistics were out main challenges during Q3, the company said in a statement. \u201cWe made many improvements to these processes throughout the quarter, and play to make further improvements in Q4, so that we can scale successfully.\u201d\nAt the same time, the company noted \u201cthe headwinds we have been facing\u201d as a result of the trade tensions between China and the Trump administration. Tesla vehicles shipped to China are now hit with an tariff of 40 percent, the company said.\nChina is the world\u2019s largest market for electric vehicles.\nTesla is in the beginning stages of planning a factory in Shanghai.\nMr. Musk has vowed that Tesla will generate a profit and show positive cash flow in the third and fourth quarters, thanks to the Model 3. But while the company is making more cars, the delivery problems could hurt its bottom line, because the company can book revenue only when it puts its cars into customers\u2019 hands.\nThe company needs revenue because it has suffered substantial losses and uses up nearly $1 billion in cash almost every quarter. At the start of the third quarter, Tesla had $2.2 billion in cash, but it owed suppliers $3 billion. It also had about $11 billion in debt on its balance sheet.\nIndonesia Didn\u2019t Install a Cutting-Edge Tsunami Warning System Because of Dispute Over $69,000 Cost\nAn early warning system that might have prevented some deaths in the tsunami that hit an Indonesia hasn\u2019t been used after a cost dispute.\nTen Things to Know About the Nafta Deal\nThe U.S. and Canada late Sunday struck a deal to revise the North American Free Trade Agreement, allowing for Canada to join a pact hammered out in August between the U.S. and Mexico.

Late Sunday night, U.S. and Canadian negotiators agreed on a new trade deal that replaces 1994\u2019s NAFTA deal with a \u201cUnited States-Mexico-Canada Agreement,\u201d or USMCA. The tri-party deal is viewed as a victory for President Trump, who has long derided NAFTA as being unfair to the United States.\nA significant part of the deal is related to auto manufacturing and exports from Canada and Mexico into the U.S. market. Under the terms of the USMCA, both Canada and Mexico will be limited to a quota of 2.6 million vehicle exports to the United States. Current export levels of around 2 million from Canada and 1.8 million from Mexico give the two trading partners some room to grow and, at the same time, protect their auto manufacturing industries. The quota is effective in the event the president imposes a 25% tariff on light vehicle imports from other countries.\nOne limit on the deal is that a higher proportion of the parts used to build cars and light trucks must be made in North American plants that pay a wage of at least $16 an hour. The deal struck in August between the United States and Mexico also included changes to NAFTA sought by U.S. labor unions that would make it easier for unions to organize in Mexico.\nIn addition to the deal on cars, the U.S. dropped demands to eliminate the special NAFTA courts that have allowed the trading partners to challenge restrictions imposed by the other partners. In exchange, Canada opened up its market for dairy products, agreeing to allow imports of up to 3.5% of the country\u2019s $16 billion annual domestic market for dairy products. Canada also failed to get Trump to lift tariffs on U.S. imports of steel and aluminum.\nThe United States and Mexico want to get a signed deal by the end of November. Mexico\u2019s new president, Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador, takes office on December 1. In the United States, the president wants the deal signed quickly in the event the Republicans lose control of Congress in the November elections. Congress likely won\u2019t vote on the USMCA until next year.\nMarkets reacted favorably to the announced deal and all three major U.S. indexes opened higher Monday morning.\nISM manufacturing index hits 59.8 in September; construction spending up 0.1% in August\nPresident Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cAmerica First\u201d trade policy have left the United States embroiled in a bitter trade war with China and tit-for-tat import tariffs with other trading partners, including the European Union, Canada and Mexico.\nWashington last week slapped tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, with Beijing retaliating with duties on $60 billion worth of U.S. products. The U.S. and China had already imposed tariffs on $50 billion worth of each other\u2019s goods.\nWhile data have suggested little impact on the economy so far from the tariffs, analysts warn that the import duties could disrupt supply chains, undercut business investment and slow the economy\u2019s momentum. The economy grew at a 4.2 percent annualized rate in the second quarter, almost double the 2.2 percent in the January-March period.\nThe ISM\u2019s new orders sub-index fell to a reading of 61.8 last month from 65.1 in August. A measure of export orders, however, rose last month. The survey\u2019s employment measure rose to 58.8, the highest reading since February from 58.5 in August. U.S. financial markets were little moved by the data.",

        "raw_content": "Scientists Are Now Really Fighting About The Cause of Those \u2018Sonic Attacks\u2019, And We\u2019re Here For It\nA series of attacks with a microwave weapon is the latest theory for what could have sickened or distressed roughly two dozen people associated with the US Embassy in Cuba over the past two years.\nThis hypothesis, advanced in recent days in several news reports, dominated a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing on Cuba policy Thursday afternoon. But a panel of State Department officials said there is still no explanation for the reported injuries.\n\u201cWe\u2019re seeing a unique syndrome. I can\u2019t even call it a syndrome. It\u2019s a unique constellation of symptoms and findings, but with no obvious cause,\u201d testified Charles Rosenfarb, the State Department\u2019s medical director.\nDespite the buzz over microwaves, experts warn that caution is in order. There\u2019s an old scientific aphorism that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.\n\u201cAnd they\u2019re not giving the extraordinary evidence. They\u2019re not giving any evidence,\u201d said physicist Peter Zimmerman, an arms control expert and former scientific adviser to the State Department and Senate Foreign Relations Committee.\nNo microwave weapon that affects the brain is known to exist. The FBI has investigated the Cuba cases and found no evidence of a plot. Searches of the US Embassy and other locations in Havana have turned up no sign of a weapon.\nMost significantly, doctors examining the sickened diplomats have established no clear link between their symptoms and any external source.\nThe only major medical examination of the sickened diplomats, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in February, found that they \u201cappeared to have sustained injury to widespread brain networks without an associated history of head trauma,\u201d and suggested that they could be victims of a novel agent.\nThe New York Times reported Saturday that Douglas H. Smith, a University of Pennsylvania doctor who was senior author on the JAMA report, considers microwaves a main suspect in the Cuba case. Smith told the Times that he and his colleagues are increasingly certain that the patients have brain damage.\nSmith did not respond to requests from The Washington Post for an interview, and Penn did not provide evidence for the claims or make available other doctors involved in the assessments of the diplomatic personnel.\nSkeptics of the microwave weapon hypothesis face their own challenge: It\u2019s impossible to disprove the existence of invisible agents. In this case, the agent is a theoretical weapon wielded by unidentified assailants that leaves no trace.\nCritics say this just doesn\u2019t pass a plausibility test.\n\u201cIt\u2019s crazy,\u201d said Kenneth R. Foster, a professor of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania who studied microwave phenomena while working at the Naval Medical Research Center in Bethesda.\nFoster, who was not involved in examining the diplomatic personnel, said that the reported illnesses remain mysterious and that he doesn\u2019t have an explanation.\n\u201cBut it\u2019s sure as heck not microwaves,\u201d he added.\nUniversity of Cincinnati neurologist Alberto J. Espay said, \u201cMicrowave weapons is the closest equivalent in science to fake news.\u201d\nCritics say that Smith and his colleagues have sought an exotic explanation for a relatively common occurrence. Cases in which a number of patients report physical symptoms with no detectable cause, they say, can have a variety of non-external origins, including psychological factors such as stress, and can spread contagiously.\nIn such a scenario, the symptoms are real. The suffering must be taken seriously. But no microwave weapons are necessary.\nBeyond psychological phenomena, other possible causes that have been considered include bacterial or viral pathogens and ultrasonic signals. No evidence supporting these explanations has turned up, and the State Department said \u201cthere is no known source or cause.\u201d\nAt last count, 26 people associated with the US Embassy in Cuba reported medical symptoms consistent with mild traumatic brain injury, according to the State Department.\nThe first few cases arose in late 2016. The people typically reported hearing strange noises, including chirping or buzzing sounds. They then suffered from symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, insomnia and ringing in the ears.\nThese incidents did not happen in a single location but rather in multiple places in Havana, including US government-provided homes and hotel rooms.\nAt a large gathering of embassy personnel in March 2017, officials warned that there had been a rash of attacks \u2013 and soon thereafter the reports of attacks spiked, according to an investigation published this year by ProPublica.\nThe incidents of reported attacks later spread to Canadian diplomats in Cuba and their families, and eventually to State Department employees in China. This week, the department said a single employee in China has suffered symptoms consistent with mild traumatic brain injury.\nA panel of experts appointed by the Cuban government to investigate the issue last year concluded that the US diplomats most likely suffered a \u201ccollective psychogenic disorder\u201d brought on by stress.\n\u201cIf your government comes and tells you, \u2018You\u2019re under attack. We have to rapidly get you out of there,\u2019 and some people start feeling sick .\u2009.\u2009. there\u2019s a possibility of psychological contagion,\u201d said Mitchell Vald\u00e9s-Sosa, director of the Cuban Neurosciences Center and a member of the panel.\nHe and his colleagues plan to publish the full results of their research in the coming days. They will make their data publicly available, Vald\u00e9s-Sosa said, and they have reached out to counterparts at the National Academy of Sciences in the United States to suggest a joint investigation.\nThe State Department said this week that it continues to label the events in Havana as \u201cattacks\u201d because of the \u201clikely exclusive focus on diplomats and their families\u201d as well as \u201cthe scope and duration of the incidents.\u201d\nThe JAMA report published in February acknowledged that there was no hard evidence that the patients were attacked. The doctors found no physical brain damage they could link to any events in Cuba. The report does not mention microwaves.\nJAMA this summer published four letters from a total of 10 doctors and scientists criticizing the original study, with some arguing that the Penn team incorrectly ruled out the possibility of psychological factors. Others criticized the criteria the doctors used to define impairment as overly broad.\nSmith and two colleagues published a response that said they are performing \u201cadvanced neuroimaging studies\u201d of the patients and are \u201choping to identify structural brain changes that may underlie the neurological manifestations.\u201d\nBeatrice Golomb, a professor of medicine at the University of California at San Diego, is a leading proponent of the theory that pulsed microwaves could explain the symptoms.\nShe said a friend sent her theory of the case to the State Department in January.\nShe has authored a paper that will be published in coming days in the journal Neural Computation, she said.\nThe symptoms experienced by the Cuba patients match symptoms in other people who are \u201celectrosensitive,\u201d according to her analysis, which relies on the JAMA study and news reports.\nGolomb said she had not seen or communicated with any of the patients or with the doctors who evaluated them.\nProponents of the microwave theory cite studies investigating a possible link between cellphones and cancer. Cellphones emit radiation from the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes microwaves.\nBut decades of research have not established that low levels of radio frequency radiation can harm human health.\nThe American Cancer Society and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say there is no scientific evidence that links cellphones to cancer, although both call for more research on the issue.\nThe World Health Organization classifies radio frequency radiation as a \u201cClass 2B carcinogen,\u201dmeaning it possibly can cause cancer in humans.\nAnd it\u2019s not clear how a hypothetical microwave weapon would work. Allan Frey, a retired neuroscientist, reported evidence in the 1960s that microwaves can cause a person to perceive sounds under certain circumstances.\nThat could in theory explain why some of the people who experienced \u201cattacks\u201d heard unusual noises.\nBut Frey acknowledged that the biology behind this phenomenon is still unknown and said he believes whatever happened in Cuba will remain a mystery.\nRadio waves and microwaves are much lower in frequency than the kinds of radiation known to cause tissue damage, such as ultraviolet and X-rays. Microwaves are non-ionizing \u2013 they don\u2019t carry enough energy to remove electrons from atoms, which can damage DNA.\nMicrowaves are absorbed by the skin and can cause tissue damage through heating at high intensities \u2013 this is why it would be a bad idea for you to stick your head inside a microwave oven while it\u2019s on.\nExperiments in water, cats and rodents have found some evidence that small sound waves may be produced by microwaves heating water in brain tissue.\n\u201cBut those effects are basically trivial,\u201d said Foster, the engineer who studied microwaves.\nTo create a sound wave severe enough to be painful, researchers suggest, would take millions of watts of energy and cook a victim\u2019s brain tissue before the sound ever bothered them.\nFoster said there is no technology capable of using microwaves to produce the kinds of symptoms that the US diplomats have experienced \u2013 and not for lack of trying.\nDuring the Cold War, after discovering that the US Embassy in Moscow was being bombarded with low-level microwaves (probably for surveillance purposes), the Pentagon spent several years researching the consequences of microwave exposure and uncovered no evidence of physical or psychological effects.\nMore recently, various branches of the military have sought to create microwave tools that disable opponents by interfering with their hearing or other brain systems, but none appear to have been fully developed.\n\u201cActually the Navy was interested in seeing whether this could be used as a weapon, and we spent a lot of time thinking about it,\u201d Foster recalled, \u201cbut the phenomenon was simply too weak to be of any conceivable use.\u201d",

Twenty-five teachers from around the world and 13 junior interns in middle- and high school traveled to Warsaw and Krakow Jan. 23-28, 2015, to attend the official commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz at Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, visit museums and historical sites, and learn from testimony about how to keep the past alive and relevant for current and future generations.\nSome of the students from the 13-member program talked about what the experience meant to them and how they would use what they learned to do their part to make the world a better place.\nSome talked about presentations they gave at their schools or to community groups. Others told about how the experience impacted their own lives. Students who couldn\u2019t join the activity in person joined in on a conference call.\nThe youths took turns giving short discussions on the experience that began in months before they traveled to Poland to participate in the official 70th anniversary commemoration of the liberation of the German Nazi Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.\nAlso in attendance was Holocaust survivor Paula Lebovics, who had helped mentor the group for more than six months. The kids gave her a photograph of all of them in Poland as a keepsake of their time together.\nLesly Culp, senior education specialist and trainer at the Institute, helped plan and implement the trip not only for the students, but for the dozen teachers from around the world who took part in the program.\n\u201cThe kids impressed me from beginning to end,\u201d she said.\n\"Past is Present\" in Action: Lesly Culp\nJunior Interns Visit Manzanar Japanese Internment Camp",

        "raw_content": "Peres Sworn in As Israeli President\nMr. Shimon Peres lays one hand on the bible and raises the other as he listens to Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik read his oath of allegiance on taking office as the Jewish State's 9th president in the Israeli parliament, July 15, 2007 in Jerusalem.\nIsraeli elder statesman and Nobel peace laureate Shimon Peres was sworn in Sunday as president, pledging to keep up peace efforts in his new post that crowns an unparalleled career lasting more than half a century.\nPeres took the oath of office in parliament less than three weeks shy of his 84th birthday, replacing disgraced Moshe Katsav in the largely ceremonial post for a seven-year term as Israel's ninth president.\nHis landslide election by the Knesset as head of state was the first vote for a top office that he has won despite having held just about every senior position in the Jewish state.\nAs he bid good-bye to the chamber where he has sat for the past 48 years, Peres promised to serve as president for all of the nation's citizens and to keep up efforts toward peace with the Palestinians.\n\"I am no longer the messenger of a party but a trustee of the nation, of all the citizens of the state ... (who) must encourage the peace process. Within the house. With our neighbours. In the whole region.\"\nHe pledged to work to make sure Israel's non-Jewish citizens did not face discrimination.\n\"If they do not enjoy complete equality, we will not be at peace with ourselves and with our fellow men.\n\"Israel ... must be a good and warm home for Jews who are not Israelis, as well as for Israelis who are not Jews.\"\nHe said he would also work on Israel's relations with the diaspora, and said Israeli development priorities should include Jerusalem, the Negev, the Galilee and the Jordan valley alongside with Jordan and the Palestinians.\n\"My eyes have seen Israel in its most difficult hours and also in moments of achievement and spiritual uplifting.\n\"It is true that in the picture stains also appear. It is true that we have flawed and have erred, but please believe me -- there is no room for melancholy.\"\nSupporters say the international prestige of Peres, who up to now has been admired abroad far more than at home, could lift the presidency from a disgrace heaped upon the office after his two predecessors were ousted by scandal.\nKatsav agreed to a controversial plea bargain in which rape charges were dropped in return for him pleading guilty to charges including sexual harassment, indecent acts and witness subornation.\nKatsav's predecessor, the late Ezer Weizman, resigned in 2000 after revelations he received around 450,000 dollars from a French millionaire while a minister and an MP.\nPeres, the two-time prime minister who has never won a national election, has said the presidency could be his last service to Israel.\nHis landslide win in parliament on June 13 marked a triumph that laid to rest the ghosts of seven years past, when he famously lost the same ballot to the rightwing Katsav despite being the overwhelming favourite.\nIn the July 2000 presidential election Peres was widely expected to win, only to watch in shock as the obscure Katsav from Likud emerged victorious after the surprise defection of ultra-Orthodox MPs.\nThat humiliating defeat -- and his loss in 2005 of the Labour leadership -- sealed Peres's image as a perennial loser after he failed to lead his party to victory in parliamentary elections in 1977, 1981, 1984, 1988 and 1996.\nPeres commands great respect abroad, including for his role in the 1993 Oslo accords with the Palestinians that saw him win the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize along with former premier Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.\nHe has held a string of top posts, including the foreign and defence portfolios, and is considered the father of Israel's biggest deterrent -- its suspected but undeclared nuclear weapons programme.\nPeres dedicates much of his time to promoting peace between Israel, the Palestinians and the Arab world through his Peres Centre for Peace, which aims to build an infrastructure for peace by promoting socio-economic development.\nBorn in 1923 in what was then Poland but is now Belarus, Peres emigrated to Palestine when he was 11. He speaks English and French as well as Hebrew. He and his wife Sonya have three children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.",

        "title": "01 Special Learners Overview",
        "raw_content": "Special Learners: Overview\nQ. There's actually less poverty today than in past generations, and better nutrition. We have better early-detection systems in place in health care, and better treatment regimens. Our government is spending far more money on education than ever in our history. With so many more teachers holding master's degrees than ever, we know more about teaching than ever before. With all these resources employed, surely we should be seeing some rewards. Then why does it seem as though there is an epidemic of students labeled \"at-risk\" of school failure? And why are we seeing more and more kids in costly special education?\nSchools today devote extra attention to a number of different kinds of special learners:\n\ufffd Students with mental or physical handicaps\n\ufffd Students with \"learning disabilities\" such as ADHD, dyslexia and other conditions which may or may not be medically diagnosed\n\ufffd Students whose academic, artistic or other needs cannot be met by the regular classroom because of their gifts and talents\n\ufffd Students who are \"at risk\" of underachievement and dropping out because of a wide range of factors, including poverty\n\ufffd Students who are \"at risk\" of underachievement and dropping out because they are \"English language learners\" -- immigrants from foreign countries who don't read, write and speak English very well\nAbout 20% of the children labeled as needing special education have medically-diagnosed physical and mental problems that they can't help. They command our best efforts to help them overcome their \"differences\" so that they can learn to their fullest potential. There are a lot of marvelous things being done to help children with physical impairments, speech disorders, mental challenges and the like.\nBUT . . . 80% of children bear the label of \"special education\" or \"learning disabled\" chiefly because they can't read, or they read beneath their grade level and IQ. That's the \"presenting\" factor: reading disability. Nothing shows up on an X-ray; nothing requires surgery or medication. They just can't read very well. It's not a disease. It's an instructional deficiency . . . that can be fixed. Even mentally handicapped children can learn to read, if they are taught right.\nThese children don't need to be in special ed programs at twice the cost of the regular ed programs, or at least not for their entire school careers. They don't need over-the-top discipline, or medication, or simplistic assignments, or to be excused from proper academics and have their schooling relegated to mere job training.\nThey're only labeled \"SPED\" because they can't read! They just need better reading instruction in the early grades. True, because of brain differences, many of them may never be doctors and lawyers and scholars. But the truth is, with proper reading instruction, just about 99% of the population can read at grade level, and should be doing so. They should NOT be in costly special education programs.\nThat may be a bitter pill to swallow for teachers struggling with the disruptions and headaches that \"at-risk\" students, especially those whose symptoms are often labeled BD (Behavior Disability) and ADHD (Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder). But you can chart the explosive growth of \"at-risk\" students over the past generation right next to the explosive growth in reading disability. The two go hand in hand.\nAccording to nationally-known teacher and author Bill Page, and a growing number of parents and teachers alarmed about the high numbers of children being labeled \"at risk\" in our schools, misbehavior is an effect, not a cause, of reading disability. Both misbehavior and reading disability can be corrected and prevented, with a back-to-the-basics approach to reading.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Page, also a motivational speaker, has published a book, At-Risk Students, which contends that students who have perfectly normal IQ's but are struggling in school are reacting normally to the stress and pressure of appearing not to keep up academically by trying to excel in a negative way. If you can't be the \"best\" at schoolwork, the theory goes, at least you can be the \"best\" at being \"cool\" by defying authority, focusing on what you want to focus on, clowning around, or pretending to be apathetic so that you don't have to try and possibly fail.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Page says that rebelliousness and delinquency are cover-ups for students' fears of being labeled \"dumb.\" They get entangled in crime and rebellion because they don't want to be exposed as what they are: fearful, embarrassed, worried and extremely frustrated.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Page is among the growing voices of education advocates who say that well-meaning teachers who continue to shame and scar \"at risk\" students - by criticizing them for not achieving while failing to give them the skills to achieve -- are actually committing child abuse.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd He's calling for teachers to reflect on their part in the dance of failure, and respond with empathy and positive practicality, rather than punishment. And that starts with Job One: getting a strong, new hyperfocus on kindergarten through second grade, repairing our curriculum and instruction techniques in those crucial early grades, and teaching them how to read.\nHomework: See the book, At-Risk Students, by Bill Page, on www.teacherteacher.com",

        "raw_content": "Lending our magic to the big game in the Big Easy\nIt happened Friday morning, September 21, 2012. CBS called to tell us that Solomon Group won the contract to design and build the broadcast environments for its coverage of Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. We were on the ceiling.\nOf course, the scale of this project was going to be massive. The Super Bowl is arguably the biggest event in American culture. And CBS\u2019s plans to cover it were historic.\nThey were going to need sets in or near various New Orleans locations, including Jackson Square in the French Quarter, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and the Ernest. N. Morial Convention Center. The network planned a week of broadcasts leading up to kick-off that included over a dozen shows from multiple divisions, including news, sports, entertainment and digital.\nAnd the game was less than 5 months away.\nIt was the first time a local company had been selected to literally set the stages for television\u2019s most watched event. And for Solomon Group, a small but growing 4-year-old company, it was an opportunity to have our work on national display.\nFrom the beginning, it was important to CBS that the look and feel of New Orleans play a starring role in the design of its many, custom-built environments.\nSolomon Group\u2019s creative approach centered on drawing elements of the Crescent City\u2019s unique landscape into the sets themselves. From its wrought iron and wooden shutters, to bass drums and Mardi Gras beads, New Orleans\u2019 distinctive architecture and culture would shine through the sets we created.\nWe even found a subtle way to integrate the network\u2019s branding into the design. Viewers who looked closely could see the familiar CBS \u201ceye\u201d logo woven into the ironwork pattern that framed each of our sets.\nWhen the cameras began to roll, our broadcast environments could be seen all over the city. We designed, fabricated and installed several sets from which dozens of hours of programming originated at historic Jackson Square, Radio Row in the Convention Center, and a game day set outside the Superdome. We even designed and helped build a beautiful cable bridge positioned over Decatur Street, which served as a kind of gateway to CBS Super Bowl Park at Jackson Square.\nDecor + Fabrication",

I presume that it has something to do with using cards on the statues, but I tried interacting with them, and I couldn't seem to do anything.\nEdit: Ah, nevermind. Figured out that there was a \"use equipped soul\" button. Finished it, and it seemed like none of the opponents ever attack you -- you can just keep hitting \"end turn\" to build up power and nothing happens. And is there any way to change the ending?\n\u00ab Last Edit: June 21, 2010, 02:43:50 PM by Chocobo_Fan \u00bb\nhonestly, same here. I was mostly looking for some help.\nWhich one is the \"Use equipped soul\"?\nThis is Gambit. The cards are about to explode. Goodbye!\nI've officially played, and I believe I beat Harvester, and yes, it is a pretty dark tale...\nI can't figure out which one opens the one about telling the husband she loves him. ???\nProbably the Divorcee, the only one I don't have, right?\nEdit: BTW, the Lover open the one \"If only there were a girl down here\"\n\u00ab Last Edit: June 26, 2010, 09:05:56 PM by algebra15 \u00bb\nI don't know. You could try going through every soul by trial and error. Maybe the Lover or something like a Psychiatrist, if there is one?\nThis is quite a different game from all the rest, I have played it and kind of enjoyed it, though the story is rather dark. Still, it's an interesting change of pace from the rest of the projects, and I would like to see a couple of more small projects to add to the main Telepath series.\nAdmittedly, I also initially got stuck in the apparent dead end, until managing to figure out how to use the souls, though some of the descriptions are not too obvious (plus the random factor can make it so that you're able to aquire either most, or very few souls in the end).\nIt's fun but dark, really dark. I prefer the TRPG series though.\nI enjoyed it, despite my initial difficulties figuring out what to do. A very good game, considering how long it took to make it.\nWell, I've finished the game and all, with the help of this topic, I don't really understand the plotline. Can someone explain please?\nWell, from what I gathered (Haha);\nYou are a spirit which harvests souls for an unknown reason. You go into the dungeon for more souls. Another spirit confronts you. You kill it, as it won't use the spirits of the dead to attack. It turns out that it has trapped you in the dungeon for eternity. That was from memory, so there may be errors.\nIt wasn't really made for storyline.",

        "title": "START a Small Business From Home IDEAS / Small Business Ideas",
        "raw_content": "START a Small Business From Home IDEAS\nIdeas For Starting Business / July 4, 2017\nStarting a small business is relatively easy if you have an idea in your head on what you want it to be about. The real test in strength comes to putting that business into the public eye and making a success of whatever you are selling, whether its products or services.\nTo make a small business successful you have to start from the bottom, especially if you are a one woman-band with little or no budget to put behind it. There are certain marketing exploits that you can benefit from in order to spread the word, but you also need to find a market to sell to and a small business that is really going to work for you.\nAll it takes is a bit of online learning in order to progress your business forward and make a real go of it.\nEvery woman loves to shop so it makes sense turning a hobby or passion like shopping into a small business idea. The key now is how do you go about this and who should you target?\nIdeally you want to target busy business people or parents who don\u2019t have the time to head to the stores in order to buy school supplies, clothes, or other items. Offering this service to busy parents could be a great way to get started and then you can look at other avenues to go down.\nFor example, those that are sick, housebound or elderly are all perfect markets to reach out to because you will be helping them and in-turn they will be helping your business idea get off the ground in no time.\nIn the technological age we now live in, blogging is a great new platform that can help you start a business from the comfort of your own home. Again, it comes down to a few determine factors on what you want to write about and you need to make your blog different from the other millions out there trying to do the same thing.\nAdmittedly this point can take more time to get off the ground because of the competition but you can start by offering companies the chance of reviews on your site. You can get paid to post about them and you can also get sent products to test and keep. Further to that you can also display adverts from AdSense to make extra revenue.\nOnline learning can help you gain qualifications, experience and knowledge in any chosen field of study. By taking a course you can help your small business grow overnight because you will have developed all the necessary tools in order to find the right path forward.\nAs an example of his we can look at cooking or cake making courses which are quite easy to setup, and with the aid of a video camera you can even provide webisodes on YouTube where people can learn how to make the perfect cake or roast that perfect chicken.\nOnline courses can be taken or established quite quickly, and not only do they act as a great learning base for you, if you need to advance your business idea forward, but they can come in brilliantly if you want to create your own self-styled course and take in enrolments from people who want to become a part of that course.\nSocial media is a massive player in marketing, customer service and reaching out to potential new customers. The likes of Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest are perfect if you have products to sell. Not only can you gain important feedback but you can settle customer enquiries and spread the word about new product lines and discounts that people want to know more about.\nThen there is the advertising side of social media, and the best part of this is that you need very little budget to get started. Even spending a few dollars a day can yield some pretty impressive results if done correctly.\nFacebook in particular allows a social media expert access to billions of people worldwide, and the ads platform can be used to a granular level in order to gain maximum returns on investments. Therefore you can target by age, location and interests where you think you are going to turn people into sales effectively.\n5. Home-Based Food Services\nIf you fancy yourself as a bit of a Nigella Lawson in the kitchen then you might have a small business idea right under your nose in the form of a personal chef, catering business or home-based bakery.\nBy utilizing social media (see above) you can advertise your home based services to the local area, including businesses that will place orders at lunchtimes for your selection of foods. If you enjoy what you are doing and would like to take it further you can then begin to expand by hiring a premises locally and then move from there.\nThe small business ideas are endless, but it\u2019s all about finding an idea that you are going to enjoy, and then working your way up from that idea.\nAndy Bell is an everyday learner and editor, working at . He is passionate about helping online learning businesses to achieve their goals. He loves tutoring job & his favorite subjects are math and English, but he has also taken honors classes in science and history. Outside the classroom, he enjoys tennis and is an active member of the Rancho Crandon Park.\n- Starting a Small Business From Home IDEAS",

MILS MK 1 OS BRL 71619\"\n\"PROTRACTOR R.A. 9IN. MILS/METRES MK1 A.B. OS. 80875 1979\"\nPROTRACTOR (noun) an instrument for measuring, or drawing angles on paper, usually a flat semi circular transparent plastic sheet graduated in degrees.\nProtractors can be, and still are, used in various other areas such as engineering, technical drawing, surveying and plotting charts, so we thought it best to point out that these ones are/were for map reading.\nWhen Swedish orienteer and instrument maker Gunnar Tillander combined a protractor with a simple compass back in 1928 to create what we now call a baseplate compass, he literally consigned the protractor to the history books as far as outdoor folk were concerned. The trade name for Tillander's compass became Silva, a name that is now synonomous with all baseplate compasses, even if they are not made by Silva.\nProtractors can still be used of course, and still are, in navigation at sea when plotting a course, and artillerymen still resort to them when their electronics fail, but in the great outdoors the silva type compass reigns supreme.\nWay back in the depths of time, the Babylonians charted the sun movement across the sky concluding that there were 360 cycles or circles in a year. Whilst this has now been adjusted by a day or two, 360 became the basis of a circle and was the obvious choice for early compass makers who needed a certain amount of degrees in a circle and that's pretty much how it stayed up until the 1960's.\nIn the 1960's the American, and subsequently the British Army, adopted the Mils system of dividing up a compass circle and by a rather complicated system of mathematics they arrived at the figure of 6400 for a full circle - so North is seen at 6400 and South at 3200 etc. Even more confusingly, the French came up with a system of 'grads' of which there were 400 - they didn't like it very much but the Swedish did - and adopted it!\nAnyway, the two protractors we have here in the collection are of the Mils variety and once belonged to Mick Tighe.\nP.S. if you are interested in the origins of a MIL, check out circles, pi-radians and their wee mates mil-radians.",

Gothic letter; large printer\u2019s device, white on black, on last verso, floriated initials and diagrams; light foxing, mainly marginal, except for title page, very light waterstain to blank head of one central gathering. A very good copy in contemporary cream vellum, spine later backed with withe vellum.\nSecond and more accurate edition of a philosophical and doctrinal work by the first Irish scholar to engage with printing, designed as a textbook for higher lay and religious education. Maurice O\u2019Fihely, or Muiris \u00d3 Fithcheallaigh (c.1460-1513), was an Irish Franciscan monk and acclaimed philosopher and theologian. Following studies in Oxford, he moved to Padua, where he became Doctor of Divinity and professor of philosophy. He also acted for some time as corrector of proofs to two well-known publishers and printers in Venice, Ottaviano Scotto and Boneto Locatelli. On account of his vast scholarship, he was hailed as Flos Mundi (\u2018Flower of the World\u2019). In 1506 he was appointed as Archbishop of Tuam and took part in the first sessions of the V Lateran Council in Rome in 1512. He wrote important commentaries on Duns Scotus, Aristotle and Porphyry. The Enchyridion provides a detailed and complex insight into the foundations of the Christian faith, often employing a systematic and step-by-step way of thinking and presenting facts typical of scholasticism, with the Aristotelian system as the backbone. It is dedicated to Gerald FitzGerald, 8th earl of Kildare (1456-1513), the powerful and merciless Lord Deputy of Ireland, whose son, the later 9th earl, was arguably the first Irish collector of printed books.\nBM STC It., 473; Adams, O 122.\nVESLING, Johann \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Enjoying your Visit to Frankfurt am Main\nBy Mark Kolakowski Copyright \u00a9 2008\nExcellent Public Transit\nFrankfurt am Main (hereafter \"Frankfurt\") has an excellent public transit system, called the RMV, consisting of buses, trams (streetcars or trolleys), subways (the U-Bahn) and suburban commuter rail (the S-Bahn). One-way tickets, available from vending machines, cost 2.10 Euros. If you plan to take 3 or more rides in a day, consider buying a day pass (Tageskarte) that costs 5.60 Euros.\nIf you are going to stay for 4 or more days, get a weekly pass (Wochenkarte) for 20.60 Euros. The weekly pass can only be obtained from an RMV service center, such as the one at the Hauptwache station in central Frankfurt, at which many U-Bahn and S-Bahn lines cross. If you are in a group of 2-5 people, you can get a group pass that costs less than two individual passes. The daily group passes are available through the vending machines, but the weekly version only can be obtained at RMV service centers.\nFrankfurt has many excellent museums. My favorite were these four:\nStaedel (the main art museum),\nLiebieghaus (sculpture, though this turreted mansion itself may be the real star)\nSeckenberg (natural history, with a great local fossil collection)\nArchaeological museum (with Roman artifacts from the area, in an old Carmelite cloister).\nThere are two museum discount cards worth considering. The Frankfurt Card is available either for one or two days, for one person or for a group of up to five. It combines unlimited transit rides with discounts at museums, tours, river cruises, the zoo, the botanic gardens, stores and restaurants. You can purchase it at the airport, the RMV service center at Hauptwache, the main train station (Hauptbahnhof), the tourist information office in the center of the old town (the Roemer), or in select hotels. For an individual, the Frankfurt Card costs 8.70 Euros for one day and 12.50 Euros for two days. For a group (of up to 5 people), it costs 15 Euros for one day and 24 Euros for two days. This is an unbeatable bargain.\nThere also is a Museumsufer card that costs 12 Euros, giving discounted admission to most museums around town for two people for two days. It is available at all the participating museums.\nDestinations near Frankfurt\nOverlooked in many guidebooks is the nearby western suburb of Hoechst, reachable by the S1 and S2 S-Bahn lines, and in the same RMV fare zone 50 as central Frankfurt. I found it in the handsomely illustrated Frankfurt City Guide. This was a most worthwhile half-day outing.\nWiesbaden, the noted spa town, is at the end of S-Bahn lines 1, 8 and 9. It\u2019s in a different fare zone than central Frankfurt, so expect to pay a higher price than for close-in trips on these lines.\n26 kilometers north of Frankfurt, the S-6 terminates at Friedberg, which has an interesting fortress at the north end of town.\nThe vineyards along the Rhine, west of town, are picturesque. Go during the week in the warmer months, to avoid the weekend crowds. The town of Ruedesheim is a worthwhile stop. Consider taking the cable car up to the monument above town, to get a panoramic view of the vineyards. The Herbert Bretz winery, across the Rhine from Ruedesheim in Bingen (accessible via car ferry), is also worth a visit. [A family owned and operated business, Bretz\u2019 proprietor Andre Syre is personable, knowledgeable and fluent in English. His enthusiasm for wine is infectious. Their website www.weingut-bretz.com is in German, but you can contact them via e-mail if you are interested in paying a visit. Among other things, they sell a product called Federweise, immature low-alcohol wine that is very effervescent. It is only available on draft in local wine bars, not bottles, and only during the harvest season.]\nThe university town of Heidelberg makes for a wonderful day trip. Hourly trains depart Frankfurt\u2019s main train station (Hauptbahnhof) and take about 80 minutes. Besides seeing the famous Schloss, or castle, take the Bergbahn railway to the top of the mountain behind the Schloss, for an outstanding panoramic view. Bus 33 takes you from the main rail station to the Bergbahn station. Be sure to visit the tourist info office just outside the main rail station for maps and directions. While in Heidelberg, consider eating at Kulturbrauerei Heidelberg on Leyergasse 6 (www.heidelberger-kulturbrauerei.de). It\u2019s a warm and inviting beer hall with reasonably-priced local cuisine and excellent beers brewed on site.\nBesides beer and wine, Frankfurt is noted for Apfelwein, or apple wine. Also colloquially called Ebbelwei, this is a low-alcohol, very drinkable type of hard cider. Many drinkers like to mix it in their glass with up to 20% sparkling mineral water. Apfelwein bars sell it by the glass or by the jug (usually 1 liter), or Bembel. It\u2019s cheap, at only about 1.30-1.60 Euros per 20cl glass in most places.\nAdolf Wagner, at Schweitzer Strasse 69 (www.apfelwein-wagner.com), is a classic place to enjoy this tipple, plus regional dishes like Frankfurter Gruener Sosse (Frankfurt green sauce) and roast pork shoulder. The latter dish is quite large, enough for (in the words of a local man sitting next to me at one of the long tables) two people and a dog. The green sauce is a refreshing blend of parsley, sorrel, dill, chives and other green herbs, with some dairy binder (yogurt, mayonnaise or sour cream) and served over potatoes with sliced hard boiled eggs or beef. It\u2019s a popular light summer dish, great all year. Boiled potatoes are the standard, but Adolf Wagner goes one better with roast potatoes.\nGerbermuehle (www.gerbermuehle.com) is a renowned inn and restaurant south of the Main and east of the central city. It has a scenic location on the river. For an appetizer, try the Handkaese mit Musik (hand cheese with music). What\u2019s this? A moderately pungent cheese marinated with onions. This is another renowned local dish. The quaint name points to the fact that it\u2019s liable to produce a bit of intestinal gas. Gerbermuehle also has particularly good Sauerbraten (German pot roast). The dessert pancakes are excellent, as is the chocolate mousse.\nThe Cafe im Literaturhaus on Bockenheimer Strasse 102 is in a old villa that is the headquarters of a literary society. It has a good wine and beer list, and the beef Rouladen, rolled, braised beef simmered in gravy, is especially tasty.\nThe Klienmarkthalle (Little Market Hall) off Hasengasse has vendors of fresh produce, cheese, bread, meats, seafood and sweets. It\u2019s a great place to grab a quick lunch or snack, such as at one of the hot sausage vendors.\nThroughout Frankfurt are several bakery chains that offer solid value in baked goods of all types, from pretzels to chocolate croissants. These include Back-Factory (good chocolate croissants) Weiner Feinbacker (Vienna Fine Baker), Eifel and Brotbacker (Bread Baker, my favorite for pretzels, featured at 3 for 0.99 Euros).\nThe Nordsee (North Sea) seafood shops are also surprisingly good, especially for their Matjes herring sandwiches.",

        "raw_content": "Lord Curzon, a British Viceroy, once exclaimed that Allepey was the \u2018Venice of the East\u2019. Situated in an extremely picturesque region composed of canals, lagoons and backwaters a few miles north of Cochin, Alleppey is a small town that is perhaps one of the earliest towns in Kerala to adopt a plan in its development \u2013quaint streets that cross with geometrical symmetry and lined with cafes and shops, an ancient light house(the first on the Laccadive coast), bustling market places and ancient churches, mosques and temples and laid back people.\nThe sea off the coast of Alleppey is renowned for its abundance of prawns, lobsters, turtles and varieties of fish. The wetlands that surround Alleppey are a delightful haven to staggering numbers of migratory common teal, duck and cormorants that flock here seasonally.\nVisitors to Alleppey will marvel at the annual snake boat races held at numerous venues in the region where hundreds of oars flash in and out of the water in perfect unison to the accompaniment of songs that impel gloriously decorated boats towards the finishing line. Another annual event of interest to travelers is the \u2018chakara\u2019 \u2013 seasonal maturing and arrival of vast quantities of fishes and prawns off the coast in search of accumulated masses of plankton. The catch at this time is brought to shore and sold. It is also a time of much rejoicing and celebration among fishermen and their families.\nPlaces To Visit Alappuzha\nAmbalpuzha Sree Krishna Temple\nMost definitely worth a visit \u2013 for the devout and for those interested in history and culture. This temple is believed to have been built during the 15th-17th century AD. The idol worshipped in the temple \u2013 the Hindu god Krishna \u2013 is seen holding a whip in its right hand and a conch in its left.\nAn annual temple festival is the highlight of the calendar of events at the temple which commemorates a time in the past when ruler of the area decided that the temple needed a Krishna idol and it was installed here.\nThe Ambalapuzha temple is also renowned for its \u2018pal \u2013 payasam\u2019 a sweet pudding made from rice and milk, offered to the deity in the temple and then served to devotees and visitors.\nChampakulam is resplendent with pristine backwater canals, lush expanses of paddies and coconut groves. Houseboats are the best modes of transportation though the backwaters and lakes in the area providing an intimate view of the people who live on the shores and their culture.\nThe St.Mary\u2019s Forane Church in Champakulam, a fourth century church and one of the oldest churches in India, stands as an eloquent witness to the history of the area. An annual event here \u2013 the Champakulam Moolam Boat Race, quite possibly the oldest and one of the most popular snake boat races is well worth attending. The race is a rousing sight, wherein dozens of boats each more than a hundred feet in lengths slicing through the water, propelled by a hundred rowers, their oars synchronized oars songs that urge them on. The upraised and pointed prows of the boats resemble the heads of snakes poised to strike, the reason that these boats are called snake boats. The characteristically shaped boats owe their history to the war boats of the Chembakasherry rulers of the area\nThe Alleppey Beach is a popular picnic spot and locals and visitors throng here in the evenings to view rather spectacular sunsets. Vendors sell cotton candy, drinks, ice cream. Alleppey was once a busy port on the Kerala coast and today the ruins of a pier, more than a hundred years old ( that British administrators built to transport goods from and to berthed ships)extends into the sea and is visible from the beach. The Alleppey lighthouse nearby offers spectacular sweeping views and is worth a visit.\nSituated very near Alappuzha, life at the idyllic fishing village of Marari still goes on as it has since time immemorial. At the break of dawn fishermen set out to sea to bring in the day\u2019s catch. Guests will soak in the seemingly endless stretches of fine sand on the beach fringed by swaying palms and rippling green fields. Marari is also an idea base from which to explore Kerala\u2019s magnificent backwaters.\nThe Vembanad lake, Kerala\u2019s longest freshwater lake in Kumarakom is a gateway to the fabled backwaters of Alleppey and a popular destination on the state\u2019s tourist map. The lake teems with bunerous species of marine and freshwater fish, notably, shrimp and \u2018karimeen\u2019 (Pearl Spot) and many of the shacks that dot the shores of the lake and canals \u2013 shops that serve fresh toddy are also a gourmand\u2019s delight. Remember, no visit to Kumarakom is complete without exploring the fabulous bird sanctuary.\nSpread along the southern bank of the Kavanar River, the 14 sq.km. bird sanctuary is the favored by numerous flocks of migratory birds besides serving as the residence of indigenous species as well. Once a rubber plantation know as Baker\u2019s Estate, Baker, its former owner developed it into a haven for waterfowl, cuckoos, owls, egrets, herons, cormorants, moorhens, darters, Brahmani kites and ducks. In the season come migratory Siberian cranes, parrots, teals, larks, flycatchers and others.\nAt dawn, these birds rise out of their forest homes and wing out over the lake. An early morning trek well before sunrise is an ideal time to bird watch.",

        "raw_content": "Themes: Integrated Border Management\nColombo \u2013 The Sri Lankan National Border Management Committee (NBMC) launched a new border management strategy yesterday (26/07) with technical assistance from IOM, the UN Migration Agency.\nEndorsed in May this year by the Cabinet of Ministers, the strategy proposes moving towards an integrated border management environment. While still recognizing the autonomy of individual border agencies, integration aims to promote inter-agency collaboration with a view to improving the border environment, including enhanced risk detection and prevention, and increased service to the public, industry partners, businesses and other stakeholders, while maintaining compliance with international standards to align with global security and service standards for border-related matters.\n\u201cToday marks a historic date that symbolizes our collective readiness in addressing challenges in Sri Lanka\u2019s border management,\u201d stated Defence Secretary Kapila Waidyaratne in his keynote address as the Chair of the NBMC. He further noted that the strategy introduces a \u201csmart border concept because it aims to move away from reactive to more proactive intelligence driven by risk-based border control.\u201d\nCentral to border management is upholding and enhancing national security. To this end, all migration and trade should be ideally conducted using intelligence-driven and risk-based principles. This can assist in assessing and quickly clearing the majority of people and goods, while expending resources on people and goods that pose a risk or require interception, such as those involved in transnational organized crime (smuggling harmful drugs and narcotics, contraband, people smuggling and trafficking, or presenting a hazard to public health or a risk to bio-security).\nEfficient and effective border management not only contributes to secure borders, but also facilitates the smooth movement of people and goods across borders as well as increasing regional and international trade and transits - a key prerequisite for economic growth and poverty reduction. This includes streamlining movement of people and goods, while also considering security impacts. Development challenges are complex; collaborative and coordinated approaches along with the introduction of enhanced technologies are required to ensure sustainable growth.\nAs evidenced by the launch of Sri Lanka\u2019s new Integrated Border Management Strategy, agencies involved in border processes are required to review their policies and practices that impact on migration and trade for alignment with efficient, secure and client-focused services.\n\u201cEvery county must have a strategy to manage entry and exit of people across their borders,\u201d stated Controller General of the Department of Immigration and Emigration Nihal Ranasinghe. \u201cSri Lanka is no exception. In this context [the] event introducing a new border management strategy for Sri Lanka has a high national significance.\u201d\n\u201cAt a time when Sri Lanka is experiencing an increased cross-border movement of people and goods as a result of rapidly rising trade and tourism, a revitalized economy, and increased economic and cultural ties with other countries, this new integrated border management strategy can greatly assist the government in achieving the twin objectives of maintaining national security and fostering economic development\u201d commented IOM Sri Lanka Chief of Mission Giuseppe Crocetti.\nThe development of the Sri Lanka Integrated Border Management Strategy was supported by IOM as a part of a broader technical assistance programme funded by the Government of Australia through its Department of Home Affairs.\nFor more information please contact Shantha Kulasekara at IOM Sri Lanka.

        "raw_content": "BuzzFeed reported Sunday that more than 180 women have filed police reports, complaints to state boards and lawsuits in civil court over the years against Massage Envy, a franchise that claims almost 1,200 locations across 49 states, including locations in the Columbia Tech Center in Vancouver and Hazel Dell Towne Center, along with three locations in Portland.\nKendall said she was getting a couples massage by Marco Rigo, when he put his genitals into her open palm.\n\"I completely froze\", she said.\nWomen have reported being groped and digitally penetrated.\nDanielle Dick reported a massage envy employee touched her two years ago in Richmond, Virginia.\nSadly, many other claims surface in Buzzfeed's report, which also touches upon Massage Envy's inability to provide much comment on the allegations for legal reasons.\nThe company said in a statement released Sunday that every incident was \"heartbreaking for us and for the franchisees that operate Massage Envy locations\".\nAttorney Adam Horowitz, who has represented several accusers against Massage Envy, says it's a company-wide problem.\nCourt documents confirm the case was dismissed in December 2012, and the woman's lawyer, Stephen Morris, said the legal action was settled by a \"substantial\" payment from one or more of the defendants. She urges any victims of assault to report the crime, and not only to the company.\nWe're in the midst of a much-needed sea change around sexual assault. One woman reported that her therapist inserted his entire fist into her vagina before ejaculating on to her face.\nAn Upstate man is among a group of employees of Massage Envy who are accused of sexual misconduct. \"I said, 'That's the guy right there, ' and they arrested him\".\nIngram told CBS News that she felt the response sounded nearly \"scripted\" in its impersonal nature.\nThe company said the incidents \"occurred over a span of 15 plus years and 125 million massages. Call the police. I didn't do that, and that is probably the only regret I'll have in life\".\n\"It's sad that there are so many people that go into the business of massage and chose to violate customers the way they do\".\nThe number and severity of the allegations came to light in an investigation by Buzzfeed. She reported the incident to local police.\n\"We are constantly listening, learning and looking at how we can do more, including how we support franchised locations with best practices in handling these incidents and supporting their clients\".",

        "title": "The Call of God - Abraham and Lot.",
        "raw_content": "STEM Publishing: C. H. Mackintosh: The Call of God - Abraham and Lot.\nThe Call of God \u2014 Abraham and Lot.\nBy faith Abraham, when he was called, went out, not knowing whither he went.\u2014 Heb. 11:8\nIn a day of such widely extended profession as the present, it is specially important that Christians should be deeply impressed with the necessity of realising personally the call of God, without which there can be no permanence or steadiness in the Christian course.\nIt is a comparatively easy thing to make a profession at a time when profession prevails; but it is never easy to walk by faith \u2014 it is never easy to give up present things, in the hope of \"good things to come.\" Nothing but that mighty principle which the Apostle denominates \"the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen\" (Heb. 11:1), can ever enable a man to persevere in a course which in a world where all is wrong \u2014 all out of order, must be thorny and difficult. We must feel \"persuaded\" of something yet to come \u2014 something worth waiting for \u2014 something that will reward all the toil of a pilgrim's protracted course, ere we rise up out of the circumstances of nature and the world, to \"run with patience the race that is set before us\" (Heb. 12:1).\nAll this is fully exemplified in Abraham, and the exemplification receives additional force from the contrast exhibited in the character of Lot and others who are introduced in the course of the narrative.\nIn Acts 7, we have the following words which bear directly upon the subject before us. \"The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he lived in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, and said to him, Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred, and come into the land that I shall show thee\" (vers. 1, 2). Here then we are presented with the first dawning of that light which attracted Abraham out of the darkness of \"Ur, of the Chaldees,\" and which shining in upon his wearisome path, from time to time, gave fresh vigour to his soul, as he journeyed in quest of \"that city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.\" \"The God of glory\" caused Abraham to see, in the light of His character, the true condition of things in Ur, and further, to believe, as some one has observed, a report concerning future glory and inheritance, and he therefore hesitates not, but instantly girds himself up for the journey.\nHowever, upon a close comparison of the opening of Acts 7 with Genesis 12:1, we get an important principle. From the time that God appeared to Abraham, until he finally gets up into the land of Canaan, an event occurs involving much deep instruction to us. I allude to the death of Abraham's father, as we read in Acts 7, \"From thence, when his father was dead, He removed him into this land wherein ye now dwell\" (ver. 4). This will enable us to understand the force of the expression in Gen. 12, \"The Lord had said to Abram\" etc. (ver. 1). From both these passages, it would plainly appear the movement made by Terah and his family, recorded in Gen. 11:31, was the result of a revelation made by \"the God of glory\" to Abram, but it would not appear that Terah had received any such revelation from God. He is presented to us rather as a hindrance to Abram than any thing else, for until he died, Abram did not come into the land of Canaan \u2014 his divinely appointed destination.\nNow, this circumstance, trivial as it may seem to a cursory reader, confirms in the strongest manner the statement already advanced, namely, that unless the call of God \u2014 the revelation from \"the God of glory\" be personally realised, there can be no permanence or steadiness in the Christian course. Had Terah realised that call, he would neither have been a clog to Abram in his path of faith, nor yet would he have dropped off, like a mere child of nature, ere reaching the future land of promise. We get the same principle illustrated in Laban afterward in Gen. 24. Laban, as some one has well observed, was fully alive to the value of the gold and silver jewels which the servant of Abraham had brought with him, but he had not heart to value the report concerning future things, which dropped from his lips. In other words, he did not receive a revelation from \"the God of glory,\" and as a consequence, he remained, as the same writer has observed, \"a thorough man of the world.\"\nIn the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, we are taught the same truth. There were other persons with him when he was struck to the ground by the lustre of the glory of the Lord Jesus; these persons \"saw indeed the light\" \u2014 they witnessed many of the external circumstances which had arrested the furious zealot; but as he himself states, \"they heard not the voice of Him that spake to me\" (Acts 22:9). Here is the grand point. The voice must speak \"to me\" \u2014 \"the God of glory\" must appear \"to me,\" ere I can take the place of a pilgrim and stranger in the world, and perseveringly, \"run the race that is set before me.\" It is not national faith, nor family faith, but personal faith that will constitute us real witnesses for God in the world.\nBut when Abram was released from the clog which he had experienced in the person of his father, he was enabled to enter with vigour and decision upon the path of faith \u2014 a path which \"flesh and blood\" can never tread \u2014 a thorny path beset with difficulties from first to last, in which God alone can sustain the soul. \"And Abram passed through the land to the place of Sichem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. And the Lord appeared to Abram and said, \"Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar to the Lord who appeared to him\" (Gen. 12:6-7). Here Abram at once takes his stand as a worshiper, in the face of \"the Canaanite.\" The altar marks him as one who, having been delivered from the idols of Ur of the Chaldees, had been taught to bow before the altar of the one true God, \"who made heaven and earth.\" In the following verse, we get the second grand feature in the character of the man of faith, namely, \"the tent,\" denoting strangership in the world. \"By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.\" (Heb. 11:9)\nWe shall have occasion to notice more fully, as we proceed, these two important points in the life of Abraham, and shall therefore rest satisfied for the present with establishing the fact that the tent and the altar do most clearly present him to us as a stranger and a worshiper, and that as such, he was a man entirely separated from the course of this evil world.\nScarcely had Abram entered upon his course, when he had to encounter one of those difficulties which have a special tendency to test the genuineness of faith both as to its quality and its object. \"And there was a famine in the land.\" The difficulty meets him in the very place into which the Lord had called him. Now, it is no easy matter when we perceive trial and sorrow, privation and difficulty awaiting us, while walking in \"the strait and narrow way,\" still to persevere \u2014 still to pursue the onward path, and especially if we observe within our reach, as Abram did, an entire exemption from the particular trial under which we may be smarting. The men of this world \"are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued as other men.\" This feeling is still further increased by the entire absence of every thing, as far as sight is concerned which could act as a confirmation of our hope. Abram had not so much as to set his foot upon \u2014 famine was raging around him on every side, save in Egypt. Could he only find himself there, he would be able to live in ease and abundance.\nHere, however, the man of faith must pursue the path of simple obedience. God had said, \"Get thee out of thy country . . . to a land that I will show thee.\" Abram may, it is true, afterward discover that obedience to this command will involve his abiding in a land where nothing but starvation, apparently, awaits him. But even though it should be so, God had not in any way qualified the command \u2014 No, the word was simple and definite: \"Into a land that I will show thee.\" This should have been as true and as binding upon Abram when famine reigned around him, as when peace and abundance prevailed. Famine should not, therefore, have induced him to leave the land, neither should abundance have induced him to remain. The influential words were, \"I will show thee.\"\nBut Abram leaves this land \u2014 he succumbs, for the moment, to the heavy trial, and bends his footsteps down to Egypt, leaving behind him his tent and altar. There he obtained ease and luxury; he escaped, no doubt, the formidable trial under which he had suffered in the land of promise; but he lost, for the time being, his worship and strangership \u2014 things which should ever be dearest to the heart of a pilgrim.\nThere is nothing in Egypt for Abram to feed upon as a spiritual man; it might, and doubtless did, afford abundance for him as a natural man, but that was all. Egypt would give nothing to Abram unless he sacrificed his character both as a stranger and as a worshiper of God. It is needless to observe that it is exactly so at this very hour. There is plenty in the world upon which our old nature could feed most luxuriously. There are the rich delights \"of the flesh and of the mind,\" and abundant means of gratifying the desires of the heart, but what of all these, if the enjoyment thereof leads, as it must necessarily do, right out of the path of faith \u2014 the path of simple obedience.\nHere then is the question for the Christian: which shall I have, the gold and silver, the flocks and herds \u2014 the present ease and affluence of Egypt, or the tent and altar of \"the land of promise\"? Which shall I have: the carnal ease and delight of the world, or a peaceful holy walk with God here, and eternal blessedness and glory hereafter? We cannot have both, for, \"If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.\"\nBut, we may ask, why was it that Abram had to experience famine and trial in the land of promise? Why did he not find a home and plenty there? Simply because \"the Canaanite and Perizzite dwelt then in the land.\" (Gen. 13:7) The land had not as yet been fitted up to be the residence of God's redeemed ones. Abram's faith might have enabled him to penetrate through the long and dreary period which should intervene ere the promise could be consummated; but that very principle of faith it was that made him \"a pilgrim and a stranger.\" He could wait for God's time, and until then remain without \"so much as to set his foot on.\" (Acts 7:5) So should it be now. The true man of faith cannot find a home in the earth because \"the Canaanite\" is there. By and by it will not be so, for, \"all that offends\" will be gathered out of the kingdom, and the kingdoms of the world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ.(Rev 11:15) and then righteousness shall prevail \"from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.\"\nThis beautiful chapter shows us the man of faith recovering himself, through the faithfulness and loving-kindness of God, who never allows such to wander far, or tarry long away. The gold and silver, the flocks and herds of Egypt, could not long prove a satisfying portion for Abram, while deprived of his tent and his altar, and he therefore once more, in the renewed energy of faith rises, as it were, from the dust of Egypt, and retraces his steps to the land of promise. Happy recovery! Certain evidence of a fixed and honest purpose to serve the Lord. \"The ship may be tossed by the waves and the winds, but the magnet still points to the north.\"\nBut some expressions in the opening of this chapter confirm most fully a thought already expressed, namely, that Abram gained nothing, \"as before God,\" by his visit to Egypt. Thus, for example, \"Abram went on his journeys . . . to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, to the place of the altar which he had made there at the first\" (vers 3-4). The words \"beginning,\" and \"at the first,\" prove that Abram had made no progress while in Egypt, but that, while there, all his time was, as it were, lost. No doubt he learnt a wholesome lesson, and it is well when by our failures, we learn to distrust our own hearts, and dread the pernicious influence of the world. Abram learnt that there could be no tent or altar in Egypt. It is only faith that can enable a man to raise an altar or erect a tent, but in Egypt all is sight and not faith, and hence, the moment Abram set his foot there he ceased to show forth the genuine fruits of faith \u2014 yea, the very principle which led him to leave the land of promise. Led him, at the same time, to relinquish his character as a stranger and a worshiper.\nHow forcibly are we here reminded of a proposal made long after this, by a king of Egypt, to Abraham's seed. \"And Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said: Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land\" (Ex. 8:25). Thus, it would seem ever to have been the design of the enemy to get the people of God, the holy seed, to defile themselves by worshipping or sacrificing to God, in the world; i.e., to make their character, as worshipers of God, accord with that of men of the world \u2014 men holding a place in society where Christ is an outcast; thus, of course, declaring that there is no difference between the religion of the world and the religion of God \u2014 a truly fearful delusion, calculated to lead many souls out of the way of truth and holiness.\nIt is most sad to hear, at times, those who surely ought to know better, in order, as they say, to manifest a liberal spirit, speaking of the religion of the world in all its multiplied forms, as if it were all right; or, as if it were a matter of total indifference whether we remained in communion with error or not. Oh, let us not be deceived! God's principle of separation is as strong and as binding today as it was in the days of Abram or Moses. \"Come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing,\" must hold good as long as the \"unclean thing\" exists; nor can any outward form alter the character \u2014 the true essential character of \"the unclean thing\" so as to make it \"a clean thing.\"\nMoses, then, was not liberal, in the above acceptation of the word, for he at once refused to countenance the religion of the world. \"It is not meet so to do.\" Memorable words! Would that there were more amongst us who, when invited to countenance the religion of the world, would reply, \"It is not meet so to do.\" Abram could not worship in Egypt, neither could his seed.\nBut Abram had more difficulties than one to encounter in his course. The path which every man of faith is called to tread lies between two dangerous extremes. One is the temptation to return to the world; the other, to strive with brethren by the way. Abram had just recovered himself from the effects of the former, and we have now to behold him buffeting the latter.\nThe moment Abram emerged from Egypt, he appeared in a special manner to move under a new responsibility, namely, responsibility to his brother to walk with him in harmony. While in Egypt, this responsibility stood quite in the shade. The institutions \u2014 laws \u2014 habits \u2014 luxury and ease of Egypt, would in an eminent degree tend to do away with every such feeling. All these things would have had the effect of erecting barriers around each individual tending to prevent him from recognising the fact that he was his \"brother's keeper.\" Nor is it otherwise now. So long as we continue in the world \u2014 the religious world, as it is termed \u2014 we shall find ourselves completely relieved from the difficult task of being our \"brother's keeper.\" Those who advocate a continuance therein may deny this fact, but it is all in vain, for Scripture and experience alike demonstrate it. Abram and Lot did not strive in Egypt, and a religious establishment presents this attraction at least \u2014 and it is by no means a feeble one \u2014 it effectually prevents brotherly collision; and, of course, where there is no collision there can be no strife \u2014 no dispute; where collision takes place, there must be either grace to enable us to walk in unity of mind, or strife and contention. But Egypt saps the very springs of grace by leading us out of a place of simple dependence upon the Lord, (for dependence ever genders grace and forbearance) and because she does so, she, at the same time, teaches us, or attempts at least to teach us, that we do not need grace, by leading us into a sphere in which responsibility to brethren is never realised; thus the need is not felt; weakness is mistaken for strength, folly for wisdom.\nWhen the Christian at first starts on his course, he fondly dreams of nothing but perfection in his fellow Christians; but in this he soon finds himself mistaken, for we have all our infirmities, and as the apostle states, \"In many things we offend all.\" But why, we may ask, was there such a speedy development of infirmity upon their coming up out of Egypt? Because they were now called to walk in the power of a naked principle, without any of the props or barriers of Egypt. They were called to walk by faith, and \"faith works by love.\"\nNow \"the Canaanite,\" etc., \"was then in the land.\" This should have acted as a hindrance to any strife between \"brethren,\" for the Canaanite cannot understand anything about the infirmities of believers, and he therefore puts all their failure down to some defect in the principle professed.\nBut in every strife between brethren, there must be fault somewhere. In the contention between Paul and Barnabas there was fault somewhere. Nor can we be at any loss to decide where it lay. Barnabas wished to take his relative with him, but this relative had before proved himself unfit, or at least unwilling, to \"endure hardness,\" therefore it could not have been with a single eye to the Lord's work that Barnabas desired his company. The Lord Himself, too, at once takes Paul's side of the question by providing him with a dear son and fellow-labourer, in the person of Timothy, with whom he had \"none like-minded.\"\nSo it is exactly in the case before us. We can have no hesitation in asserting that Lot was the man in error here. Lot does not appear to have fully got rid of the spirit of the world, and where there is this spirit predominating in any one he will ever find the path of faith too strait for him to walk in, and so it was, \"They could not dwell together.\"\nIf, then, it be asked on what grounds one would pronounce Lot to have been in the wrong? The answer is, first, Lot's subsequent conduct; and, secondly, the Lords dealings with Abram, \"after that Lot was separated from him.\"\nWhat then did Lot do? \"He lifted up his eyes.\" This is ever our mode of acting when not under the direct power of faith. Whenever we lift up our eyes without divine direction, we are sure to go wrong. I say, without divine direction, for we find the Lord afterwards directing Abram to lift up his eyes, but then that was totally different from Lot's act, which was simply the suggestion of mere human wisdom and foresight. Human wisdom and foresight, however, can never assist our progress as men of faith \u2014 no, quite the reverse; human wisdom will ever suggest things which, if acted upon, will lead us right athwart the path of a man of faith. Therefore Lot, in lifting up his eyes, could not penetrate beyond the \"things that are seen and temporal.\" Such was the utmost bound of his range of vision. The things on which his eyes rested were those with which he had been conversant while in Egypt, as we read, \"He beheld all the plain of Jordan that it was well watered everywhere . . . like the land of Egypt\" (ver. 10). Here we observe that Lot had never been really detached in heart and affection from Egypt \u2014 he had never learnt the vanity and unsatisfactoriness of all her resources in the light of a better order of things \u2014 he had never contrasted her with that \"city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God\" \u2014 in a word, he \"having put his hand to the plough,\" was now beginning \"to look back,\" and thus to prove himself \"unfit for the kingdom of heaven.\"\nThere is a striking notice of all this afforded in the opening verse of this chapter, \"Abram went up out of Egypt and Lot with him.\" Here we get the secret of Lot's after instability. He appears to have gone up rather with Abram than with God, and the consequence was that, when he parted with Abram, he had nothing to lean upon. He had been hitherto moving under Abram's protection and guidance instead of being directly before the Lord, and therefore when he lost Abram he went astray.\nNow then is the moment for Abram to \"lift up his eyes,\" at the Lord's command, and oh, what a different range of vision was his! While Lot could not penetrate beyond the narrow limits of the present scene, Abram was enabled to survey the length and breadth of God's inheritance. He soars on the strong and rapid pinion of faith, and is, as it were, lost in the unbounded beneficence of God; while Lot, the man walking by sight, is well-nigh lost in the deep gulf of Sodom's corruption.\nLet us then, ere we enter upon the next chapter, take a view of the different circumstances of these two men who had started together. \"Lot lifted up his eyes,\" and the prospect on which they rested was, as might be expected, such as suited his natural desires, \"well-watered plains,\" which, however fair in man's view, were nevertheless, in the sight of the Lord, filled with exceeding wickedness (cp. vers. 10 and 14). Abram, on the contrary, had allowed his eye to wander over the length and breadth of the promised inheritance \u2014 uninfluenced by all else, he viewed the portion which God was reserving for him and his seed, and took up his position accordingly.\nThus do we find Lot in the unhallowed region of Sodom; and Abram \u2014 the pilgrim and stranger, with his tent and altar \u2014 \"in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron.\"\nHere we have a very minute account of a battle fought by \"four kings with five,\" and we may ask, What connection had this strife between \"the potsherds of the earth,\" with the history of the people of God? With Abram indeed none, in one sense, for he was outside it all. His tent marked him as a stranger to all these things \u2014 it marked him as one to whom the battle of \"four kings with five\" would be a matter of very trivial moment. And then his altar marked him as one whose pursuits were quite of another character, even a heavenly. His tent showed him to be a stranger on earth \u2014 his altar showed him to be at home in Heaven. Happy man! Happy pilgrim! who could thus from his high elevation, even the lofty watch-tower of faith, look down, as a passer-by, upon the battle fields of an evil world. It mattered not to Abram whether the laurel of victory were about to wreath the brow of the king of Sodom, or of Chedorlaomer, king of Elam; his portion was not in danger through their strife, because he had it in that place \"where thieves do not break through and steal.\"\nBut, though it was the happy lot of Abram to have his being and his portion in a place where wars could have no influence, yet such was not the case with his more worldly-minded brother. His position was such as to place him in the midst of the strife, and consequently the issue of this battle could not fail to be of the deepest moment to him. If the child of God will stoop so low as to mix himself up with the world, he must calculate upon being made a participator in its convulsions, and woe be to that man who shall have his portion in the world in that day (now fast approaching) when all things shall be shaken by the mighty hand of God in judgement.\nI would here observe that what has ever made the history of nations and the movements of mighty kings and conquerors, matters of interest to the Holy Spirit, has been the connection of such things with the history of the people of God. Beyond this they possessed nothing of moment to Him. He could find no pleasure in dwelling upon the abstract history of man. The busy strife and tumult of nations \u2014 the fierce contests of ungodly tyrants grasping after power \u2014 the movements of armies, could not attract the notice of the Spirit of peace; nevertheless, when such things became, in the least degree, connected with the history of a \"righteous soul,\" the Holy Ghost can be most minute in detailing the circumstances of a battle, as is observable in the case under consideration.\nWhat then were the results of this contest to Lot? Ruin to him and his family. He was made prisoner and all his goods were taken (ver. 12). He had laid up treasure for himself upon earth, and the thieves had broken through; and thus, while Abram was above it all, in the power \u2014 the separating power of communion with God, he found himself a prisoner and a beggar. He had sown to the flesh, and of the flesh he must now \"reap corruption.\"\nBut this was just the moment for Abram to show himself in the powerful activities of love. He had, as above observed, hitherto surveyed with calm indifference these movements of \"kings and their armies,\" but the very same faith which had made him indifferent about the strifes of men, made him quick to take cognisance of a brother in distress. Faith not only purifies the heart from worldly and carnal desires, but it also \"works by love,\" as is powerfully shown in Abram's case, for \"when Abram saw that his brother was taken captive he armed his trained servants,\" etc. (ver. 14).\nNow, it is to be observed that it is in the hour of distress and difficulty that the relationship of brother gets the prominent place. In days of unruffled peace, Lot might be known to Abram as \"his brother's son,\" but now he was in sorrow, and therefore the claims of brotherhood act, and act powerfully and effectually. True he had contended about a piece of land \u2014 he had turned aside from his venerable companion, and had taken up his abode at Sodom, but what of that? He was now in trouble, and therefore all is forgotten, but the fact that they were brethren.\nWe are now called to witness a deeply interesting scene. Abram himself is about to meet a temptation \u2014 a temptation at once repulsed indeed by the power of God in him, but nevertheless, a temptation. The king of Sodom was about to come forth to display his treasures before the eye of Abram, and he had by nature a heart to value those treasures.\nThat man knows not his own heart who could say that the world does not present many \u2014 very many attractions to the natural heart. There is a species of misanthropy which looks like elevation above the world, but which, after all, is not it. The cynic philosopher Diogenes, when he told Alexander to get out of his sunshine, was as proud and as worldly a man as Alexander himself. The only true and real way in which to be separated from, and elevated above, the world, is by the knowledge of heavenly things, and Abram was led, through the mercy of God, into that knowledge.\nBut the victory obtained by Abram, was not owing to any power in himself. He had, as I have observed, a heart to value the things which the enemy had to give him; and, therefore, if he triumphed, it was through the operation of a power outside himself. In all this transaction, the One who had watched over His dear servant during the dark season of his sojourn in Egypt, and who, moreover, had, by that very sojourn, taught him a lesson as to the true character of the world, was now closely observing his ways, and making preparations for his relief; He was cognisant of the movements and designs of the enemy, from first to last, and He therefore prepares to supply a heavenly antidote to nullify his poison.\nIt is particularly worthy of observation that between the time at which the king of Sodom went forth to meet Abram, and that wherein he made the proposal to him with reference to \"the persons and the goods,\" there is a remarkable character introduced, namely, Melchizedek. This stranger, commissioned by God, was on his way to fortify Abram's heart at the very moment when the enemy was on his way to attack (cp. ver. 17, 18, and 21). Now, why did not \"the priest of the Most High God\" come to meet Abram before? Because this was the very moment in which Abram most needed the strength which he had to bring. The enemy was about to display his gilded bait before the eye of the man of God, and therefore is Melchizedek at hand to display in his view the divine realities of the kingdom. He was about to feed and strengthen his soul with the \"bread,\" and cheer him with the \"wine,\" of the kingdom, in order that, \"in the strength of that meat\" he might mount above the influence of all the allurements of the world. From all this we may learn that it is communion with the joys and glories of the kingdom that can alone cause the heart to reject the pollutions of the world.\nReader, upon what are you now feeding? What constitutes your habitual food? Is it \"the bread and wine\" which the Lord provides, or \"the goods\" of Sodom? Are your ears open to the pernicious suggestions of the King of Sodom, or to the heavenly communications of the King of Salem? The Lord grant that our hearts may ever choose that in which He delights.\nBut to proceed, Melchizedek leads Abram's soul into present communion with \"THE MOST HIGH GOD, THE POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,\" and thus completes the wondrous contrast between \"the King of Sodom\" and \"the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth\" \u2014 \"the goods of Sodom\" and the extensive possessions of Heaven and earth. Blessed contrast, which faith ever draws! It is needless to say that Abram at once rejects the offer of the King of Sodom. The bread and wine, and the benediction of \"the priest of the Most High God,\" had raised Abram to such a height that he could, in one comprehensive glance, take in the vast possessions of Heaven and earth, and further, look down from thence upon the despicable proposal of the King of Sodom and reject it. Melchizedek had just said, \"the Most High God, the possessor of heaven and earth,\" and Abram had laid hold on these words and made use of them in his reply to the adversary. \"I have lifted up my hand,\" said he, \"to the Lord, the Most High God, the possessor of heaven and earth, that I will not take from a thread even to a shoe-latchet and that I will not take anything that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich.\" (vers. 22-23)\nAbram appears to breathe the very atmosphere of the presence of Him \"who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and meted out heaven with a span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance, in whose sight the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance. Behold! he takes up the isles as a very little thing, and Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt-offering. All nations before Him are as nothing, and they are counted to Him as less than nothing and vanity.\" (Isa. 40:12, 15-18)\nAnd surely, we may say, it was only thus that Abram could triumph; and let no one who moves not, in some measure, in the same sphere, affect to despise the world \u2014 nothing can be more truly vain. There must be the experimental acquaintance with the better thing \u2014 the fondly cherished hope of \"good things to come\" \u2014 ere we can obtain full victory over present things, and our own worldly desires. \"Ye took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.\" (Heb. 10:34) If we are really waiting for the manifestation of the glory, we shall be found standing apart from everything which will be judged in that day: and it is written, \"Yet once more, I shake not the earth only but also heaven; and this word, yet once more, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.\" (Heb. 12:26-27)\nWe have, in the last verse of our truly interesting chapter, a happy feature in the character of the true man of faith. Abram would not force others to walk according to his elevated standard. Although he might be able to reject, in the most unreserved manner, the offers of the king of Sodom, yet others might not be able to do so, and therefore he says, with regard to \"Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre, let them take their portion.\" Our walk should ever be \"according as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith.\" (Rom. 12:3) We have seen, in our own day, many persons led, at the outset, to give up a variety of worldly things, and afterwards plunge still deeper into those things; and why? Because they acted through mere excitement or human influence, and were not able to say with Abram, \"I have lift up my hand to the Lord.\"\nIn the opening verse of this chapter, we have a principle fraught with comfort and encouragement to us \u2014 a principle eminently calculated to call out into full exercise a spirit of true devotedness to the Lord. We observe here, the Lord's grace in acknowledging and accepting the sacrifice laid upon His altar \u2014 the willing offering of the devoted heart of His servant. Our God is never slow in owning such things, nor in rewarding them a hundredfold. Abram had just been manifesting a spirit of self-denial in refusing the attractive offers of the King of Sodom. He had refused to be enriched from such a source, and had taken \"the Most High God\" for his portion and his reward, therefore the Lord comes forth to confirm the soul of his servant with these words, \"Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.\" \"God is not unrighteous to forget the work and labour of love.\" (Heb. 6:10) A similar principle is presented to us in Genesis 13, where Abram is seen giving way to Lot, in the matter of choosing the land. Abram's whole anxiety in that matter was about the Lord's honour, as maintained in the harmonious walk of \"brethren\" before the \"Canaanite and the Perizzite.\" \"Let there be no strife,\" says he, \"between me and thee . . . for we be brethren.\" Nor did Abram desire to suppress the strife, by exacting concessions from Lot. No; he was willing to concede everything himself \u2014 to surrender every claim \u2014 to sacrifice every advantage, provided the strife were suppressed. \"Is not the whole land before thee?\" Take what you please \u2014 possess yourself of the fairest spot in all the region round about. Here, as some one has observed, is the liberality \u2014 the unselfishness of faith. What was land to Abram in comparison with the Lord's glory? Nothing. He could give up anything, or everything, for that. How then does the Lord meet this self-sacrifice on the part of His servant? Just as He does in this chapter 15, by coming in, in the plenitude of His goodness, to make it up to him a hundredfold. \"Lift up now thine eyes . . . for all the land which thou seest to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee.\" (Gen. 13:14-15) How truly gracious it is of the Lord to enable His servant to make a sacrifice for Him, and then reward that sacrifice by a vast increase of blessing. Such are His ways \u2014 His ever adorable ways.\nWe are now called to trace in Abram the development of a feature which, in a special manner, demonstrates the high order of his communion with God. After all God's revelations and promises to him, his soul still breathes after an object without which all besides was defective. True, he had surveyed, with the eye of faith, the promised inheritance \u2014 the magnificent gift of divine benevolence: yet, notwithstanding all this, was there a great desideratum \u2014 a mighty blank. He sighed for a Son. A son alone could render complete, in Abram's estimation, all his previous privileges. \"And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt Thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus. And Abram said, Behold to me thou hast given no seed: and lo, one born in my house is mine heir.\" (vers. 2-3) Now, we have, in tracing the path of this remarkable man, beheld him, at times, displaying some very noble features of character. His generosity \u2014 his high elevation of mind \u2014 his pilgrim-like habits \u2014 all these things denote a man of the very highest order; yet I hesitate not to say, that we find him, in the passage just quoted, exhibiting a temper of soul, more in harmony with the mind of Heaven than anything we have met hitherto. Abram desired to have his house enlivened by the cry of a child. He had been long enough conversant with the spirit of bondage breathed by \"the steward of his house,\" but the titles of lord and master, though all very good in their place, could not satisfy the heart of Abram, for Abram had been taught of God, and God ever instructs His children in those things which He loves, and which He exhibits in His dealings with them. And I would just observe, in connection with this, that we see in the case of the prodigal in Luke 15, the development of a principle very much in connection with what we have been saying. He says, in the very midst of all his misery \"I will arise and go to my Father, and will say to him, Father.\" Here we have a fine feature in the character of this poor wanderer. He had such a sense of the grace of him against whom he had sinned, that he could yet say \"Father,\" notwithstanding his long course of rebellion and folly.\nBut let us observe with what accuracy Abram lays hold of the great principle afterwards brought out by the Spirit in Romans 8. \"If children, then heirs.\" Abram felt that sonship and heirship were inseparably connected, so much so, that without the former the latter could not be. This is the meaning of his question, \"Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?\" Abram rightly judges that to have \"no seed\" was to have no inheritance, for the word is, not if stewards or servants, then heirs, but \"if children, then heirs.\" (Rom. 8:17)\nHow very important it is that we should ever bear in mind, that all our present privileges and future prospects stand connected with our character as \"sons.\" It may be all well and very valuable, in its right place, to realise our responsibility to act as \"faithful and wise stewards,\" in the absence of our Master; still the most ample privileges \u2014 the highest enjoyments \u2014 the brightest glories, which belong to us through the grace and mercy of our God, stand intimately connected with our character and place as \"sons\". (cp. John 1:12; Rom. 8:14, 19; 1 John 3:1-2; Eph. 1:5; Eph. 5:1; Heb. 12:5)\nIn the vision presented to us in the close of our chapter, and which was granted to Abram as an answer to his question, \"Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?\" we have a further illustration of the teaching of Romans 8. Abram is taught by the vision, that the inheritance was only to be reached through suffering \u2014 that the heirs must pass through the furnace, previous to their entering upon the enjoyment of that which God was reserving for them; and I doubt not that, were we more deeply and experimentally taught in the divine life, we should more fully apprehend the moral fitness of such training. Suffering then, is not connected, in this chapter, with sonship, but with heirship; and so we are taught in Romans 8. \"If children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.\" Again, we must, \"through much tribulation, enter into the kingdom of God.\" (Acts 14:22) The Lord Jesus Himself, likewise, stands as the great illustration of the principle upon which we are dwelling. He occupied the place and enjoyed the favour of a Son from before all worlds (Prov. 8), yet ere He could lay His hand upon the inheritance He must pass through suffering. He had a baptism to be baptised with, and was straitened (sunecomenos) until it was accomplished. So also when He remembered that \"a corn of wheat must fall into the ground and die,\" or else abide alone, His soul was \"troubled.\" Now, we are to \"know Him in the fellowship of His sufferings,\" before we can know Him in the fellowship of His glory; hence it is that the palmy multitude mentioned in Revelation 7 had to pass through \"great tribulation\" (tes megales thlipseos) ere they reached their peaceful, heavenly home. Passages of Scripture might be multiplied in proof of this point, but I will merely refer to the following, viz. \u2014 Phil. 1:29; 1 Thess. 3:4; 2 Thess. 1:5; 1 Tim. 4:10; 2 Tim. 2:12; 1 Peter 5:10.\nBut, in this remarkable vision, there are two points which, as they appear prominently in the whole of Israel's after history, deserve to be particularly noticed. I allude to \"the smoking furnace, and the burning lamp.\" (ver. 17) It has been well observed, by a recent writer, that Israel's history might be summed up in these two words, \"the furnace and the lamp.\" Egypt was a trying furnace to the seed of Abraham. There the fire burned fiercely, but it was soon followed by \"the burning lamp\" of God's own deliverance. The cry of the suffering seed had come up into the ears of Jehovah. He had heard their groanings and seen their afflictions, and had come down to display above their heads \"the lamp\" of salvation. \"I am come down to deliver them,\" said He to Moses. Satan might take delight in kindling the furnace, and in adding to its intensity, but the blessed God, on the other hand, ever delighted in letting the rays of His lamp fall upon the dark path of His suffering heirs. So, when Jehovah had, in the faithfulness of His love, brought them into the land of Canaan, they again and again, kindled a furnace by their sins and iniquities; He, as frequently, raised up deliverers in the persons of the judges which were as so many lamps of deliverance to them. Further, when by their aggravated rebellion, they were plunged into the furnace kindled at Babylon, even there we observe the glimmerings of \"the burning lamp,\" and finally it shone out for their full deliverance, in the decree of Cyrus.\nNow, the Lord was constantly reminding the children of Israel of the above truth. He says to them, \"But the Lord has taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace.\" (Deut. 4:20; 1 Kings 8:51) Again, \"Cursed be the man that obeys not the words of this covenant, which I commanded your fathers, in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace.\" (Jer. 11:3-4)\nFinally, we may ask, are the seed of Abraham now suffering in the furnace, or are they enjoying the lamp of God? \u2014 for they must be experiencing either the one or the other \u2014 the furnace, assuredly. They are scattered over the face of the earth as a proverb and a byword, a reproach and a hissing among all the nations of the earth. Thus are they in the iron furnace. But, as it has ever been, \"the burning lamp\" will assuredly follow \"the smoking furnace,\" for \"all Israel shall be saved; as it is written there shall come out of Zion the Deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.\" (Isa. 59:20; Rom. 11:26)\nThus we see how that Israel's eventful history has all along stood connected with the smoking furnace and the burning lamp, here seen in vision by Abram. They are either presented to us in the furnace of affliction through their own sin, or enjoying the fruit of God's salvation; and even at this moment when, as has been already observed, they are manifestly in the furnace, we can witness the fulfilment of God's promise, so often repeated, \"And to his son will I give one tribe, that David My servant may have a lamp [margin] always before Me in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen Me to put My name there.\" (1 Kings 11:36; 1 Kings 15:14; 2 King 8:19; Psalm 132:17) If it be asked where does this lamp shine now? Not on earth, for Jerusalem, the place of its earthly display, \"trodden down of the Gentiles,\" but the eye of faith can behold it shining with undimmed lustre \"in the true tabernacle,\" where it will continue to shine \"until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in\"; and then, when the furnace, seen in this chapter by Israel's great progenitor, shall have been heated to the very highest degree of intensity, when the blood of Israel's tribes shall flow like water round the walls of Jerusalem, even then, shall the blessed lamp come forth from the place where it now shines, and cast its cheering rays upon the dark path of the oppressed and sorrowing remnant, bringing to mind those oft-illustrated words, \"O ISRAEL, THOU HAST DESTROYED THYSELF; BUT IN ME IS THY HELP.\"\n{I would refer the reader to the following Scriptures in confirmation of what has been above advanced on the subject of \"the lamp.\" \u2014 Ex. 27:20; 2 Sam. 22:29; Ps. 119:105; Prov. 6:23; Prov. 13:9; Isaiah 62:1}\nThese two chapters give us an account of Abram's effort to obtain the promised seed by harkening to the voice of his wife, also of God's mode of teaching him the unprofitableness of such an appeal to the mere energy of nature as that which his effort involved.\nAt the very opening of Abram's course we find his faith put to the test in the matter of the famine, but here we find him tried in quite another way, a way moreover, which involved a far higher exercise of faith and spiritual power. \"His own body now dead and the deadness of Sarah's womb;\" although, in the main, \"he considered them not,\" must have acted upon his mind to a considerable extent.\nNow, as is the case of the famine already alluded to, Egypt was at hand, holding out a refuge from anxiety as to present supply, so here, \"an Egyptian maid\" \u2014 one of those maid-servants, doubtless, which Abram had gotten during his sojourn in that evil place \u2014 was presented to him as a relief in the time of anxiety touching the promised seed. \"Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.\"\nBut why introduce the element of bondage into his house? Why did not Abram's mind shrink from the thought of \"the bondwoman and her son\" as much as it had shrunk from the thought of \"the steward of his house\"? Might not the question, \"Lord, what wilt Thou give me,\" be asked in connection with one as well as the other? Surely it was as much opposed to the divine economy to grant the inheritance to the seed of \"a bond-woman,\" as to a \"servant.\" In either case it would be an allowance of the claims of nature, which cannot be.\nThe principles involved in this act of Abram's are fully laid open to us in the inspired commentary given in the Epistle to the Galatians. There we read, \"Abram had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh \u2014 but he of the free woman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the Mount Sinai, which genders to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and answers to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.\" (Gal. 4:22-26)\nThe churches of Galatia had been led away from the simplicity and liberty of Christ and had returned to \"the flesh.\" They were beginning to substitute religious ceremonies for the energies of the Spirit of Christ. Hence it is that the apostle, in the course of his reasoning with them on their unhappy movement, refers to the matter recorded in our chapters, and the way in which he expounds it to them renders it unnecessary to dwell longer upon it. This step of Abram's only \"gendered to bondage;\" it introduced an unhealthy and an unhappy element into his house which, as we shall see when we proceed further with our subject, he had to expel ere he could reach the highest point of elevation in his course.\nIn Genesis 17 we have God's remedy presented to us, and most consolatory it is to observe how the Blessed One at once comes in order to lead back His servant to the simple yet difficult position of faith in Himself \u2014 simple, because therein we have but one object with which to be occupied \u2014 difficult, because therein we have to contend against the workings of \"an evil heart of unbelief,\" leading us to \"depart from the living God.\"\n\"And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I AM THE ALMIGHTY GOD, walk before Me, and be thou perfect.\" Here was at once the effectual cure for all impatient anxiety. \"I am Almighty\" \u2014 I can quicken the dead \u2014 I can call those things that be not as though they were \u2014 I can, if needs be, raise up of stones, children to you \u2014 no flesh shall glory in My presence. \"I am Almighty, walk before Me and be thou perfect.\"\nIt is perhaps one of the finest principles with which the mind can be occupied, that our God desires that He may ever be learnt in the variety of His perfections, by the need of His people. We have already met a striking illustration of this important principle, in the matter of Abram's conflict with the king of Sodom, in Genesis 14. There, when Abram was tempted by the offers of the enemy, he found relief in the apprehension of God's character as \"the Most High God, the possessor of heaven and earth.\" The character of the communion into which Melchizedek led the soul of Abram was suited to the circumstances in which he stood. So is it exactly in this 17th chapter. Communion with God as \"the Almighty\" was the sole remedy for impatient anxiety as to the fulfilment of any promise.\nNow, when once the Lord exhibits Himself in His character of \"Almighty,\" there can be no obstacle whatsoever to the outflow of His grace; for, when almighty power and almighty grace combine in behalf of the sinner, faith may count upon a rich and an abundant harvest.\nThe promises, therefore, with which this chapter abounds are just such as we might have expected. \"I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee. And I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.\" (Gen. 17:6-8) Surely these are promises which almighty grace alone could utter, almighty power alone fulfil.\nThe above promises stand connected with \"the covenant of circumcision \u2014 which is specially important as looked at in connection with Abram's effort to obtain the seed otherwise than by the operations of God's own hand. It would be profitable to dwell for a little upon the doctrine of this covenant of circumcision but my design in taking up this history, is not by any means to handle it in a doctrinal way, but rather to draw from it some of those valuable principles of a decidedly practical tendency with which it so richly abounds; and therefore I pass rapidly over chapters 16 - 17, which contain a mine of precious doctrinal truth quite sufficient to occupy a separate treatise.\n[I would observe here that the doctrine of the Epistle to Galatians stands intimately connected with Gen. 16 & Gen. 17. I might add, the important doctrine of Israel's future restoration. We also get the doctrine of justification by faith fully illustrated in Gen. 15.]\nEre closing my observations on this section of our narrative, I would add that it is faith alone which can enable one to listen, as Abraham here does, to the promises of Almighty God, and when faith listens, God will surely continue to speak. Abram here gets his name changed to Abraham, and the Lord unfolds to him the future greatness and number of his seed, while Abraham hearkens in the unquestioning silence of faith. But when the \"Almighty God\" goes on to say with reference to Sarai, \"As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her\" (vers. 15-16), he is at once overwhelmed by the pledges of such marvellous power and grace to be exercised towards him. They exceeded anything he had as yet known, and \"Abraham fell on his face.\" This is very instructive. Abraham with his face in the dust, overcome by the plenitude of almighty power and grace! Surely, we may say, while dwelling upon such a Scripture as this, it is only faith that can rightly entertain the \"Almighty God,\" it alone can give Him His due and proper place and honour Him as He should be honoured. When the Almighty displays Himself, self must be excluded, hence we find that Abram is set aside in all this \u2014 Sarai is lost sight of \u2014 \"the bondwoman and her son\" are, for the moment put far out of view, and nothing is seen but \"the Almighty God\" in the sovereignty and fullness of His grace and power, and the faith that could lie prostrate in the dust, in silent adoration of such a display of the divine glories.\nHow different is this from the preceding chapter! There we find Abram hearkening to the suggestion of Sarai his wife, with regard to the bondwoman \u2014 here we find him hearkening to the voice of Jehovah, as Almighty, who is about to quicken the dead womb of Sarah, and to call those things that be not as though they were, that no flesh might glory in His presence. There it is Abram and Sarai without God \u2014 here it is God without Abram and Sarai. In a word, there it is flesh \u2014 here it is spirit \u2014 there it is sight \u2014 here it is faith. Wondrous contrast! Exactly similar to that afterwards displayed by the apostle to the churches of Galatia, when he sought to restore them from the sad influence of \"the beggarly elements\" of the flesh and the world, to the full liberty wherewith Christ had made them free.\nI class these two chapters together because, like those we have just been considering, they furnish us with a contrast \u2014 a contrast most marked and striking between the position occupied by Abraham in Genesis 18, and that occupied by Lot in Genesis 19.\nThe Lord Jesus when asked by Judas, not Iscariot, \"How is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself to us and not to the world?\" replied, \"If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him\" (John 14:23). Again, \"Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.\" (Rev. 3:20) Now, Abraham furnishes us with an exceedingly happy exemplification of the truth stated in the above passages. \"The Lord appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and He sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.\" (Gen. 18:1) Here we find Abraham again in the full exhibition of his stranger character. Mamre and the tent are associated in our minds with the day of his triumph over the king of Sodom. Abraham is still a stranger and a pilgrim \"dwelling in tabernacles.\" The revelation made to him by the Almighty God had not altered the tone of his character in this respect, but had rather imparted fresh vigour and energy thereto. A simple dependence upon the promise of the Almighty God was the most effectual means of maintaining him in his stranger condition.\nNow, it is, in the very highest degree instructive to see the honour here put upon the character and condition of the stranger. Throughout the wide range of the world there was just one spot in which the Lord could accept the rites of hospitality and make Himself at home, and that was \"in the tent of a pilgrim and stranger.\" The Lord would not honour the sumptuous halls and princely palaces of Egypt with His presence. No. All His sympathies and all His affections hung around the stranger of Mamre, who was the only one who, in the midst of an evil world could be induced to take God for his portion.\nWhat a season of enjoyment it must have been to Abraham while those heavenly strangers sat with him and partook of the offerings of his generous heart. Mark how he calls forth into action all the energies of his house to do honour to his guests. He hastens from the tent to the field, and from the field to the tent again, and seems to lose sight of himself in his effort to make others happy.\nNor is it merely by partaking of Abraham's hospitality that the Lord gives expression to the high estimation in which He holds him; He renews His promise to him with regard to the son \u2014 He opens up His counsels to him with reference to Sodom. \"Shall I,\" says He \"hide from Abraham that thing which I do; seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgement; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which He has spoken of him.\" (vers. 17-19)\nHere Abraham is seen as \"the friend of God.\" \"The servant knows not what his lord does,\" but Abraham was made acquainted with what the Lord was about to do to Sodom, while Lot \u2014 the one who was so deeply interested in the solemn event \u2014 was left in profound ignorance about it.\nHow then does Abraham make use of his favoured position? Does he use it to strengthen more fully, and place on a firmer basis, the future interests of his house? Surely the natural heart would at once have prompted him to make such a use of his present advantage in the matter of nearness to Jehovah. Does he use it thus? Nay. Abraham had learnt too much of the ways of God to act in a way savouring so much of the selfishness of a heartless world. But, even had he thought of such a thing, he had no need to utter a syllable on the subject, for \"the Almighty God\" had most amply satisfied his heart with regard to the everlasting interests of his house \u2014 He had fixed it upon such a foundation that an anxious thought would have evidenced a complete want of moral order in Abraham's soul. He therefore entertained not a thought about himself or his house, but like a genuine man of faith, he takes advantage of his place in the presence of God to intercede for a brother, whose worldliness had plunged him into the very midst of that place which was about to be given over to everlasting destruction. \"And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?\" (ver. 23) \"The righteous!\" to whom can he allude? Can it be to the man who had so deliberately turned aside out of the path of faith to take up his abode at Sodom? Yes; he speaks of Lot \u2014 he calls him \"righteous\" \u2014 he speaks of him in the very same terms as the Spirit in the apostle afterward speaks of him when he calls him a \"righteous soul.\" Abraham, therefore, was taught of God when he could recognise in the man surrounded by all the pollution of Sodom \"a righteous soul.\"\n{Although I consider Lot the principal object in Abraham's mind while interceding before the Lord, I do not forget there is mention made of \"fifty,\" etc.}\nI doubt not it will be admitted by every one taught of God that the conduct of Abraham in this chapter, furnishes us with one of the most important results of a holy and separated walk. We observe in it a man pleading with God in a most urgent strain for one who had turned his back upon him, and selected Sodom as the place of his abode. How completely must Abraham's soul have been lifted above \"the things that are seen\" when he could thus forget \"the strife\" and the departure, the worldliness and evil of Lot, and plead for him still as \"a righteous soul.\" If Abraham appears as \"the friend of God\" under other circumstances and other scenes, surely he is here seen as the child of God exhibiting most sweetly those principles which he had learnt in communion with his heavenly Father.\nWe shall now leave Abraham, for a little, enjoying his happy place before the Lord, while we contemplate the last sad scene in the life of one who seems to have valued the things of this life more highly than was consistent with the character of \"a stranger and pilgrim\" or \"a righteous soul.\" From the time that the separation took place between Abraham and Lot, the former seems to have proceeded \"from strength to strength;\" while the latter, on the contrary, seems to have proceeded only downwards, from one stage of weakness to another, until we find him, at the close, making shipwreck of everything, and merely \"escaping with his life.\" The loss of all his goods in the battle between the \"four kings and five\" does not seem to have had any effect upon the mind of Lot in the way of teaching him the evil or being mixed up with the world; yea, he seems to have become more deeply involved it worldliness after that event than he had been before; for, at the first, he merely \"pitches this tent towards Sodom;\" (Gen. 13:12) but now we find him sitting \"in the gate\" (Gen. 19:1), which, as we know, was then the place of honour. When once a man has put his hand to the plough, if he begin to look back, we have been told by Him who cannot err, that \"he is not fit for the kingdom of God.\" Nor is it possible to count upon the fearful lengths to which a man may go when once the world, in any one of its varied aspects, has taken possession of his heart, or when once he has begun to turn his back upon the people of God. The terrible declension spoken of in Hebrews 10, which stops not short of \"trampling under foot the Son of God,\" has its beginning in the apparently simple act of \"forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.\" How needful, therefore, it is that we should take heed to our ways, and watch the avenues of our hearts and minds, lest any evil thing should get dominion over us, which, however trivial in itself, might lead to the most appalling results.\nNow, it strikes me, that we have in the circumstance presented to us in the opening of Genesis 19 the full evidence of Lot's fallen condition. The Lord Himself does not appear at all. He remains at a distance from the unholy place, and merely sends His angels to execute His commission upon the devoted city of Sodom. The angels, too, exhibit all the symptoms of distance and strangership \u2014 they refuse to go into Lot's house when invited, saying, \"Nay, but we will abide in the street all night.\" True, they subsequently enter into his house; but, if they do so, it is not so much to enjoy refreshment as to counteract the sad effects of Lot's wrong circumstances. How different was the scene at Lot's house from that which they had so lately witnessed at the tent of the stranger of Mamre! The tumult of the men of Sodom \u2014 to whom, notwithstanding all their ungodly deeds and ungodly speeches, Lot applies the title of \"brethren\" \u2014 the evident embarrassment of Lot at being discovered in such painful circumstances \u2014 the shocking proposal which he is constrained to make in order to screen his guests from the violence of the ungodly men of Sodom \u2014 the struggle at the door, and Lot's danger \u2014 all these things must have shocked the heavenly strangers, and stood in marked contrast with the holy peace and retirement of Abraham's tent, together with his own calm and dignified demeanour throughout the scene. Well might those angels have been astonished to find \"a righteous soul\" in such a place, when he could have enjoyed, in company with his separated brother, the peaceful and holy joys of his steady and consistent course.\nBut the time had now arrived for the pouring out of the cup of divine wrath upon Sodom. \"The men said to Lot, Hast thou here any besides? . . . bring them out of this place: for we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to destroy it.\" (vers. 12-13) The critical moment which the Lord Jesus, in the gospel, notes by the exceedingly solemn word \"UNTIL,\" was now at hand for the careless inhabitants of Sodom, who dreamed not of any interruption to their \"eating, and drinking, buying and selling, marrying and giving in marriage.\" A moment's respite is allowed, during which Lot bears a message to his son-in-law, a testimony as to the rapidly approaching judgement; but, ah! what power could the testimony of one who had voluntarily come in and settled amongst them, have upon those who had lived and moved from their earliest infancy in the midst of the ungodly scene? How could Lot expect that his words would have any weight when his ways had so sadly contradicted them? He might now, with terrified aspect and earnest entreaties, urge them to leave a place which he knew was doomed to everlasting destruction, but they could not forget the calm and deliberate way in which he had at first \"pitched his tent toward Sodom,\" and finally taken his seat \"in the gate;\" hence, as might be expected, \"he seemed as one that mocked to his sons-in-law.\" (Gen. 19:14) And how, so far as he was concerned, could it be otherwise? His sons-in-law might be, and doubtless were, responsible before God for the rejection of the testimony; but Lot could not, by any means, expect them to heed him much, indeed, we find that even he himself was tardy in departing from the place; for \"while he lingered\" \u2014 while his heart still went after some object or another that was dear to him \u2014 \"the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand's of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him forth and set him without the city.\" (Gen. 19:16) From this statement, it is manifest that, had not the men \"laid hold of, and brought forth\" Lot, he would, no doubt, have \"lingered\" on \"until the fire of God's judgement had fallen upon him, and prevented even his \"escaping with his life.\" But they \"pulled him out of the fire,\" because \"the Lord had mercy upon him.\"\nBut this escape of Lot's only served to put fresh honour upon Abraham, for we read that \"when God destroyed the cities of the plain, he remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow.\" (ver. 29) Thus, as Abraham's sword had delivered Lot in the time of the conquest of Sodom, his prayer delivered him in the time of its final overthrow, \"for the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.\" Nor does the contrast between those two men stop here. There is yet another scene in which they stand at a great distance from each other as to the moral condition of their souls. \"Abraham gat him up early in the morning, to the place where he stood before the Lord\" (ver. 27). Here the man of faith, the holy pilgrim, once more raises his head amid the mighty scene of desolation. All was over with Sodom and its guilty inhabitants, \"the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.\" Sad spectacle! The din and bustle of that once stirring city was hushed; silence reigned around \u2014 the buying and selling \u2014 the eating and drinking \u2014 the marrying and giving in marriage \u2014 all the intercourse of social life had been awfully broken in upon. The solemn \"UNTIL\" had come at last \u2014 the only one in all that wicked place who, notwithstanding his failure, could be regarded as \"the salt,\" had been removed \u2014 the measure of Sodom's iniquity had been filled up \u2014 the day of divine long-suffering closed, and nothing now met the eye of Abraham but misery and desolation throughout all the plain. How melancholy! And yet it was but a type of the far more terrible desolation which shall sweep across this guilty world when the Son of man makes His appearance, \"when every eye shall see Him, and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn and wail because of Him.\"\nThus, \"Abraham stood before the Lord\" completely exempt from all the sad effects of the recent visitation, as far as he was personally concerned. His stranger condition which, in the days of Chedorlaomer, had enabled him to live outside of Sodom and all its circumstances, still kept him free, and was the means of his escape from Sodom's unutterable woe and misery. Had Abraham, when solicited by the King of Sodom, mixed himself up with the things of Sodom, he would have been involved, in some measure, as was his brother Lot, in its overthrow. He himself would have been saved, but his work would have been burnt up. But Abraham was looking for \"a city that has foundations,\" and he knew at once that Sodom was not that city, and hence he would have nothing whatever to do with it. He would \"hate even the garment spotted by the flesh\" \u2014 he would \"touch not the unclean thing,\" and now he was permitted to realise the blessed results of his conduct, for, while Lot had to retreat in confusion and sorrow to a cave in the mountains, his wife and all his possessions being lost, Abraham takes his stand, in all that blessed calmness and dignity which ever characterised him, in the presence of Jehovah, and from thence surveys the heart-rending scene.\nBut what of Lot? How did he end his course? \"Oh, tell it not in Gath! publish it not in the streets of Askelon!\" Well may we desire to throw a veil over the closing scene of the life of one who does not seem to have ever realised, as he should, the power of the call of God. He had always displayed a secret desire for the things of Egypt or those of Sodom. His heart does not seem to have been thoroughly detached from the world, and therefore his course was always unsteady; from the time he separated himself from Abraham, he went from bad to worse \u2014 from one stage of evil to another, until at last the scene closes with the shocking transaction in the cave; the sad results of which were seen in the persons of Moab and Ammon, the enemies of the people of God.\nThus ended the course of Lot, whose history ought to be a solemn warning to all Christians who feel a tendency to be carried away by the world. The history has not been left on record without a purpose. \"Whatever things were written aforetime, were written for our learning,\" may we therefore learn from the above narrative, \"not to lust after evil things,\" for, although \"the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation,\" yet it is our place to keep as much out of the way of temptation as we can, and our prayer should ever be \"lead us not into temptation.\" \"The world passes away, and the lust thereof; but he that does the will of God abides forever.\" (1 John 2:17)\nGenesis 20 \u2014 Genesis 21\nLot has now passed off the scene \u2014 his sun has gone down amid thick clouds and a gloomy atmosphere; it now remains for us to pursue, for a few moments longer, the narrative of Abraham's ways, and God's dealings with him.\nThere was one point involved in Genesis 12 which I left untouched, knowing that it would come before us again in this place.\nWhen Abraham went down into Egypt, he entered into a compact with Sarah his wife to conceal part of the truth, \"Say, I pray thee,\" said he, \"thou art my sister.\" (Gen. 12:13) One evil ever leads to another. Abraham was moving in the wrong direction when he went down into Egypt for help, and therefore did not exhibit that refinement of conscience which would have told him of the moral unsoundness of this mental reservation. \"Speak every man truth with his neighbour,\" being a divine principle, would always exercise an influence upon one walking in communion with God; but Abraham's desire to get out of present trial was an evidence of failure in communion, and hence \"his moral sense,\" as a recent writer has termed it, was not as keen or as elevated as it should have been. However, although the Lord plagued Pharaoh's house because of his having taken Sarah into it, and further, although Pharaoh rebukes Abraham for his acting in the matter, yet the latter says nothing whatever about the deliberate compact into which he had entered with his wife, to keep back part of the truth; he silently takes the rebuke and goes on his way, but the root of the evil remained still in his heart, ready to show itself at any time if circumstances should arise to draw it out.\nNow, it is marvellous to behold Abraham coming up out of Egypt \u2014 building an altar and pitching a tent \u2014 exhibiting the noble generosity of faith \u2014 vanquishing Chedorlaomer and repulsing the temptation of the King of Sodom \u2014 urging his request for a son and heir, receiving the most gracious answer \u2014 on his face before God in the sense of His almighty grace and power \u2014 entertaining the heavenly strangers and interceding for his brother Lot. In a word, I say, it is marvellous to behold Abraham passing through such brilliant scenes, comprising a series of years, and, all the while, this moral point, in which he had erred at the very threshold of his course, remains unsettled in his heart. True, it did not develop itself during the period to which I have just referred, but why did it not? Because Abraham was not in circumstances to call it out, but there it was notwithstanding. The evil was not fully brought out \u2014 not confessed, not got rid of \u2014 and the proof of this is, that the moment he again finds himself in circumstances which could act upon his weak point, it is at once made manifest that the weak point is there. The temptation through which he passed in the matter of the King of Sodom, was not by any means calculated to touch this peculiar point; nor was anything that occurred to him from the time he came up out of Egypt until he went down into Gerar, calculated to touch it, for had it been touched, it would no doubt have exhibited itself.\nWe never can know what is in our hearts until circumstances arise to draw it out. Peter did not imagine that he could deny his Lord, but when he got into circumstances which were calculated to act upon his peculiar weakness, he showed that the weakness was there.\nIt required the protracted period of forty years in the wilderness to teach the children of Israel \"what was in their hearts\" (Deut. 8:2) and it is one of the grand results of the course of discipline through which each child of God passes, to lead him into a more profound knowledge of his own weakness and nothingness. \"We had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead\" (2 Cor. 1:9). The more we are growing in the sense of our infirmities, the more shall we see our need of clinging more closely to Christ \u2014 drawing more largely upon His grace, and entering more fully into the cleansing virtue and value of His atoning blood. The Christian, at the opening of his course, never knows his own heart; indeed, he could not bear the full knowledge of it; he would be overwhelmed thereby. \"The Lord leads us not by the way of the Philistines lest we should see war,\" and so be plunged, in despair. But He graciously leads us by a circuitous route, in order that our apprehension of His grace may keep pace with our growing self-knowledge.\nIn Genesis 20, then, we find Abraham again, after the lapse of many years, falling into the old error, a suppression of truth, for which he has to suffer a rebuke from a mere man of the world. The man of the world, in this scene, seemed, for the moment, to possess a more refined moral sense than the man of God. \"Said he not to me,\" says he, \"'She is my sister'! and she, even she herself said, 'He is my brother': in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.\" But mark how God enters the scene for the purpose of vindicating His servant. He says to Abimelech, \"Behold, thou art but a dead man.\" Yes, with all \"the integrity of his heart and innocency of his hands\" \u2014 with all his fine moral sense of right and wrong, he was \"but a dead man,\" when it came to be a question, for one moment, between him and even an erring child of God. God, in His grace, was looking at His dear servant from quite a different point of view from that adopted by Abimelech. All that the latter could see in Abraham was a man guilty of a manifest piece of deception, but God saw more than that, and therefore He says to Abimelech, \"Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live.\" What dignity is here put upon Abraham! God himself vindicates him before the world! Not a syllable of reproof! \u2014 not a breath of disapprobation! \u2014 no, \"he is a prophet and he shall pray for thee and thou shalt live.\" How truly consolatory it is for the poor, weak, and harassed believer to remember that His Father is ever viewing him through the medium of the Lord Jesus Christ. He sees nothing whatever upon His child but the excellency and perfectness of Jesus. Thus, while a man of the world may have to rebuke a child of God, as in the case before us, God declares that He values that character which the believer has received from Him more than all the amiability, integrity, and innocency that nature can boast of.\n{It has been observed that, if we look through a piece of stained glass, it will cast its peculiar hue upon everything at which we look; we may view the greatest variety of colours, yet do we see in all the shade of the medium through which we are looking. So it is with God. The Medium through which He views His people is Christ; hence, He sees not their various shades and imperfections, for all present to His eye the perfectness of the Lord Jesus. As He is, so are we.\n\"Beholders, many faults may find,\nBut they can guess at Jesus mind,\ncontent, if written in His book.\"}\nThis reminds us of the way in which the Lord vindicates the Baptist before the multitude, although He had sent a message to himself which must have exercised him deeply: \"I say to you, among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist.\" (Luke 7:28) Thus, whatever unfavourable aspect the child of God may wear in the world's view, God will ever show Himself the vindicator of such. \"He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, saying, Touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm.\" (1 Chr. 16:21-22)\nHowever, as was observed with regard to John the Baptist, the message sent from the Lord to His servant must have exercised his spirit deeply in secret, so is it in Abraham's case. Abraham must have felt deeply humbled in his soul at the thought of what had occurred, and the consciousness of the fact that God would not enter into judgement with him about it would have augmented that feeling. When Abraham fell into the same error in Egypt we do not find that Pharaoh's reproof produced any manifest effect. He was not humbled by it to such a degree as to make a full confession of the whole thing. He takes his departure out of Egypt, but the root of evil remains in his heart, ready to shoot forth its pernicious branches again. Not so in Genesis 20; here we get at once at the root of the matter \u2014 Abraham opens up his whole heart, he confesses that from the very first moment of his course he had retained this thing in his heart which had twice betrayed him into an act, which, to say the least of it, would not bear the light. And as there is the full confession of the evil on his part, so is there the complete renunciation of it \u2014 he gets rid of it fully, root and branch. The leaven is put forth out of every corner of his heart, he hearkens to Abimelech's reproof and profits by it; it was God's instrument by which He brought out the matter, and delivered the soul of his servant from the power of evil.\nBut, in addition to the point upon which we have been dwelling, there was yet another question to be settled ere Abraham could reach the most elevated point of his course as a man of faith. The bondwoman and her son were yet in the house. He must put forth these from his house as he had put forth the evil from his heart. The house and the heart must be cleared out. In Genesis 21 we find matters brought to a crisis with regard to the bondwoman and her son, concerning whom we have heard comparatively nothing until now. The element of bondage had heretofore lain dormant in Abraham's house because not roused into action, by anything of an opposite nature and tendency. But in the birth of Isaac \u2014 the son of the free woman \u2014 the child of promise \u2014 we see a new element introduced. The spirit of liberty and the spirit of bondage are thus brought into contact, and the struggle must issue in the expulsion of either one or the other. They cannot move on in harmony, for \"how can two walk together except they be agreed.\"\nNow we are invited by the apostle, in his Epistle to the Galatians, to behold in these two children, \"the two covenants,\" the one gendering to bondage, the other to liberty; and further, to behold in them samples of the fleshly and spiritual seed of Abraham, the former, \"born after the flesh,\" the latter, \"born after the Spirit.\" Nor can anything be more marked than the line of demarcation between, not only the two covenants, but the two seeds. They are totally distinct the one from the other, and can never, by any operation, be brought to coalesce. Abraham was made to feel, and that painfully, this fact. \"Cast out this bondwoman and her son; for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.\" (Gen. 21:10) Here the natural result shows itself. The two elements could not mingle. As well might the north and the south winds be expected to blow in all their strength without exciting a convulsion in the elements.\nBut it was most painful work to Abraham to be obliged thus to thrust forth his son. \"The thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son;\" but it mattered not, he must be put out, for the son of a bondwoman could never inherit the promises made only to the spiritual seed. If Ishmael were to have been retained, it would have been an open allowance of the claims of the flesh. Abraham would have found something \"as pertaining to the flesh and would thus have had \"whereof to glory.\" But no \u2014 all God's promises are to be made good to those who, like Isaac, are the children of promise, born after the Spirit, \"not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.\" (John 1:13) Ishmael was manifestly born \"of the will of the flesh, and of the will of man,\" and \"flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.\" The flesh must therefore be set aside and kept under, no matter how \"grievous\" it may be to our hearts. The Christian will often find it grievous enough to keep down the old principle which ever lusts against the new, but the Lord gives spiritual power for the struggle so that \"we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us.\"\nBut it is not my present purpose to pursue the doctrinal matter involved in this instructive history; were I to do so it would carry me far beyond the limits I have prescribed for myself in this little paper, the design of which is, as before observed, simply to direct attention to a few leading principles put forward in the narrative. I will therefore pass on to the next chapter which is the last of the section laid out for consideration.\nThe circumstances through which Abraham passed in chapters 20 and 21 were most important indeed. An evil which had long been harboured in his heart had been put away; the bondwoman and her son, who had so long retained quiet possession of his house, were cast out, and he now stands forth as \"a vessel sanctified and meet for the master's use, prepared to every good work.\"\n\"And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt [or try] Abraham.\" Here Abraham is at once introduced into a place of real dignity and honour. When God tries an individual it is a certain evidence of His confidence in him. We never read that \"God did tempt Lot\" \u2014 no, the goods of Sodom furnished a sufficiently strong temptation for Lot. The enemy laid a snare for him in the well-watered plains of Sodom which he seemed but too prone to fall into. Not so with Abraham. He lived more in the presence of God, and was, therefore less susceptible of the influence of that which had ensnared his erring brother.\nNow, the test to which God submits Abraham \u2014 the furnace in which He tries him, marks at once a pure and genuine metal. Had Abraham's faith not been of the purest and most genuine character, he would assuredly have winced under the fiery ordeal through which we behold him passing in this beautiful chapter. When God promised Abraham a son, he believed the promise \"and it was counted to him for righteousness.\" \"He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.\" But then, having received this son, having realised the truth of the promise, was there not a danger that he would rest in the gift instead of in the Giver? Was there not a danger that he would lean upon Isaac, in thinking upon the future seed and future inheritance, rather than upon God Himself who had promised him the seed? Surely there was; and God knew that, and therefore tries His servant in a way, more than anything, calculated to put him to the test as to the object on which his soul was resting. The grand inquiry put to Abraham's heart, in this wondrous transaction, was, \"are you still walking before the Almighty God, the Quickener of the dead?\" God desired to know whether he could apprehend in Him the One who was as able to raise up children from the ashes of his sacrificed son as from the dead womb of Sarah. In other words, God desired to prove that Abraham's faith reached forth, as some one has observed, to resurrection, for if it stopped short of this, he never would have responded to the startling command, \"Take now, thy son, thine only son Isaac whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt-offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.\" (Gen. 22:2) But Abraham \"staggered not.\" He at once responds to the call. God had asked for Isaac, and Isaac must be given, and that too without a breath of murmur. He could give up anything or everything so long as his eye rested upon \"the Almighty God.\" And mark the point of view in which Abraham puts this journey of his to Mount Moriah, \"I and the lad will go yonder and worship.\" Yes, it was an act of worship, for he was about to lay upon the altar of the Quickener of the dead the one in whom all God's promises centred. It was an act of worship \u2014 most elevated worship, for he was about to prove, in the sight of Heaven and hell, that no other object filled his soul but the Almighty God. Hence, what calmness! what self-possession! what pure devotion! what elevation of mind! what self-renunciation! He never falters throughout the scene. He saddles the ass, prepares the wood, and sets off to Mount Moriah, without giving expression to one anxious thought, although, as far as human eye could see, he was about to lose the object of his heart's most tender affection, yea, the one upon whom the future interests of his house, to all appearance, depended.\nAbraham, however, showed most fully that his heart had found a nearer and dearer object than Isaac, dear as he was; he showed also that his faith was resting upon another object altogether with reference to the future interests of his seed, and that he was as simply resting upon the promise of Almighty God after the birth of Isaac as before it.\nBehold, then, this man of faith as he ascends the mount, taking with him his \"well-beloved\"! What a scene of breathless interest!\n{It strikes me that we get, in Abraham's journey to Mount Moriah, a remarkable type of the mysterious scene afterwards exhibited at Calvary, when God was really providing Himself a lamb. We can have no difficulty in losing sight of Herod and Pilate, the chief priests and scribes, the Pharisees and the multitude, and thus we have none remaining but the Father and the Son who, in company, ascend the Mount and carry out the gracious work of redemption in the unbroken solitude of that place.}\nHow must the angelic hosts have watched this illustrious father from stage to stage of his wondrous journey, until at last they beheld his hand stretched forth for the knife to slay his son \u2014 that son for which he had so long and ardently wished, and for which he had so steadily trusted God. Then again, what an opportunity for Satan to ply his fiery darts! What abundant room for such suggestions as the following, viz., \"What will become of the promises of God with regard to the seed and the inheritance, if you thus sacrifice your only son? Beware that you are not led astray by some false revelation; or, if it be true that God has said so and so, doth not God know that, in the day you sacrifice your son, all your hopes will be blasted? Further, think of Sarah; what will she do if she lose Isaac, after having induced you to expel from your house Ishmael?\" All these suggestions, and many beside, the enemy might bring to bear upon the heart of Abraham. Nor would Abraham himself have been beyond the region of those thoughts and reasonings which, at such a time, would not fail to arise within him. What then was his answer to all such dark suggestions? RESURRECTION! \"By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac; and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said, that in Isaac shall thy seed be called: ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE TO RAISE HIM UP, EVEN FROM THE DEAD; FROM WHENCE ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM IN A FIGURE.\" (Heb. 11:17-19)\nResurrection is God's mighty remedy for all the mischief and ruin introduced by Satan; when once we arrive at this point, we have done with the power of Satan, the last exercise of which is seen in death. Satan cannot touch the life that has been received in resurrection, for the last exercise of his power is seen in the grave of Christ; beyond that he can do nothing. Hence the security of Church's place; her \"life is hidden with Christ in God.\" Blessed hiding place! May we rejoice in it more and more each day.\nI will now draw this paper to a close. We have followed Abraham in his course, from Ur of the Chaldees up to the Mount Moriah \u2014 we have seen him resign, at the call of God, family and kindred, lands and possessions, worldly ease and prosperity; and lastly, we have seen him, in the power of faith, at the same call of God, ascend the solitary mount, for the purpose of laying \"his only begotten\" upon God's altar, and thus to declare that he could give up everything and every one but God Himself \u2014 and that, being acquainted with the meaning of \"THE ALMIGHTY\" and \"RESURRECTION,\" he cared not though he were called to look to the stones for the raising up of seed to him.\nOn the other hand, we have followed Lot from Ur of the Chaldees also; but alas! his path was a far different one from that of his brother. He does not seem to have realised the power of the call of God in his own soul; he moved rather under Abraham's influence than under that of Jehovah; hence we find that, while Abraham was, at every step of his journey, letting go the world, Lot was doing the very reverse; he was grasping at the world in every shape and form, and he obtained that at which he was grasping, but what then? What of the end? Ah, that is the point. What of Lot's end? Instead of being a noble spectacle to angels, and a pattern to all future generations of the faithful \u2014 of what faith can enable a man \"to do and to suffer\" for God \u2014 he was just the reverse; he was led away by the enemy of his soul, who ensnared him by means of the things of the world; he spent his days amid the uncleanness of Sodom, and the scene closes with the sad circumstances in the cave. All he did for God or his people was to beget the Ammonite and the Moabite, the enemies of both.\nHow wondrous then is that grace, which, speaking of the history of such an one, could say, \"And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked; for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds.\" (2 Peter 2:7-8)",

        "raw_content": "Sunday 15th July 2018 at 10:30am\nThe Mixed Blessing\nBeing a Christian within a church.\nThis sermon is taken from Ephesians 2, verses11-22\n\u201cCan someone be a Christian and not go to church?\u201d asked our June Newsletter. This question was presented because it is a question that is asked frequently today. Statistics demonstrate that there are now far more people in the UK claiming to hold Christian beliefs and live according to Christian values than there are those committed to a Christian church.\nSome of these people have become disillusioned with church. They have found its\u2019 teaching too uncompromising or its people too unwelcoming or its\u2019 worship too boring or themselves simply unable to fit in. They think they stand a better chance of being a good Christian outside the church than in. We know them. We have met them.\nMany more though, I suspect, simply do not want to commit. Our culture today is seriously \u2018individualistic'- doing your own thing. Your profession is no longer seen as something lifelong to which you offer a lifelong professional loyalty. Most people will change jobs or even careers at least five times during their adult life. Shops and businesses can no longer rely on customer loyalty to keep them going because we like to shop around. Once strong local community groups such as Rotary and Round Table are now struggling to survive rather than have people queuing up to join. Men and women no longer want to commit to organisations. They want to keep themselves free. We have what I call a \u201cwalk-in/ walk-out\u201d kind of culture. We want to be able to go where we want, buy what we want, access the services we want at the time which suits us best. So when it comes to religion, the sociologist Grace Davie described our current position as \u201cBelief without Belonging.\u201d\nAll of which makes church life increasingly pressurised. Our church here is almost entirely dependent on volunteers- people who are able and ready to commit themselves to keeping this faith community going. And, lets\u2019 be honest, it demands a lot of us. The URC monthly magazine Reform has been running a series called \u201cCommitment Phobe,\u201d following the search of one young woman for faith. She eventually came to terms with Christianity and was happy to call herself a Christian. Now her struggles are with her church. It sounds like a lively church with plenty going on to interest her, her husband and her young children but more and more is being asked of her. She is on an ever-increasing number of rotas and is frequently called to stand in for someone else at the last minute. In the last edition she is looking at the August rotas and asking herself if every job in the church is going to end up with her name on it one Sunday? Sound familiar\u2026\u2026\nAnd again, lets\u2019 be honest, we sometimes wonder it is really worth it? It seems that we are running ourselves into the ground simply to stand still or even slide slowly backwards as we struggle to keep a faith community relevant and available to people in a Commitment-Phobic society. When you read Paul\u2019s letters to different churches in the early years of Christianity, and see all the problems they are having with political hostility, social indifference, clashing of cultures, financial struggles and personality clashes (and I have not even started on theological issues) you cannot help wondering whether it would have made Paul\u2019s life simpler just to work on converting individuals to the Christian faith and not bother with churches? Rowan Williams, talking of Jesus\u2019 original twelve disciples said that there would certainly have been some who said \u201cYes, I love Jesus. I want to follow Jesus. I could just do without Thaddeus being in the group.\u201d If you can believe without belonging, then you don\u2019t have to worry about Thaddeus. It is only about you.\nThe reading we heard was written by Paul to the church in Ephesus, a prosperous city in Greece and within the Roman Empire. The society in which Paul and these new Christians had grown up was far more \u2018community\u201d orientated than ours but only in a very exclusive sense. Each racial and religious community kept itself strictly to itself. So there were the Jews, whose religion forbade them to have anything to do with Gentiles (non-Jews). You could not speak to them in the streets, enter their houses or even offer them help if they were dying. Then there were the Greeks, who called every non-Greek a barbarian. And they had a history of \u201ccity states\u201d in which each city governed itself and there was no communication or co-operation between these cities, not even in the face of enemy attack. And then there were the Romans who believed themselves so superior to every other race that they set out to conquer the world, with born and bred Romans as the privileged race and everyone else subservient. Happy days\u2026\u2026\nThe Christian church, as a multi-national, inter-cultural community; for which faith in Jesus Christ was the only entry requirement was a weird and wonderful creation. It took a long time for every church mentioned in the New Testament to get their heads round the idea that they were being called to create a community into which people of different races could come, people of different social standing, people of different colour, people with a background in different religions, people with dubious-sounding pasts, women as well as men, children as well as adults- all worshipping together simply because they believed in Jesus Christ as Son of God and Saviour of the world.\nIn this letter to the church in Ephesus, Paul, who himself had come from a rigidly segregated religion, is trying to explain why this kind of faith community is so amazing and important.\nIn the first chapter he speaks of God\u2019s life-giving power that called the world into being and of God\u2019s love that gave life to the human race, intending us to be like him, sharing his creative genius. But when you give something life, you have to be prepared to let that life develop in its own way. Things can go wrong and people do not live in the way you hoped or intended. But God never gives up. He still lives in hope that the whole universe can live and work in unity. He still lives in hope that the human race will work with him to bring this unity to the earth and the universe and to all life.\nIn the second chapter, Paul explains how God has tried to reconcile the human race to him by sending Jesus Christ. Jesus did not come so that God would be reconciled to us, saying \u201cOh well, these people are a huge disappointment to me but because of you, Jesus, I\u2019ll give them a second chance.\u201d Jesus came so that we might be reconciled to God; so that we might see that the God whom we had found disappointing in a suffering world was actually right here beside us, not piling heavier burdens of obligation upon us but seeking to lift the load from our shoulders; a God who will go right down into our darkness, to bring us out.\nGod now hopes that having been reconciled to him, we may be reconciled to each other. \u201cNo more foreigners and strangers,\u201d wrote Paul, \u201cno more Gentiles and barbarians;\u201d all are fellow citizens as God\u2019s people, joined together to become a temple of God\u2019s glory. The Christian Church becomes the means by which God\u2019s reconciling love is made evident to the world. This is pretty awesome stuff and it goes a lot deeper than \u201clet\u2019s try and be nice to everybody because we are good Christians.\u201d\nIn the June edition of Reform there was the tragic story of Fusi and Nancy, a young black South African couple who were pursuing a lawful immigration appeal to remain in this country. They were not illegal immigrants. They were not refugees or asylum seekers. They had no terrorist connections or criminal records. They were simply trying to negotiate their way through the incredibly complex process of being given permission to live here. (I have a sister in law from Brazil who has been going through a similar process and believe me, the tabloids who claim that Britain is a \u201csoft touch\u201d are lying).\nThe single biggest problem Fusi and Nancy had to contend with was administrative muddles and breakdowns in communication. When it came to the immigration process the left hand never seemed to know what the right was doing. Fusi was arrested and sent back to South Africa through mistaken identity and it took him eighteen months to sort it out and get back to his wife. Then a computer failure to update their appeal had them both forcibly removed to the airport and, when Nancy collapsed, she was threatened with being shackled and handcuffed to get her onto the plane. A last minute intervention by their barrister prevented this and they were taken to a detention centre. When finally allowed home, Nancy collapsed again and this time died from a blocked artery in the lung.\nI am not na\u00efve. I know that we simply cannot open our borders and allow anybody and everybody in because we have not the resources. I know that there are people who have come to this country in order to cheat and steal and destroy. I know that any fair immigration process is going to be complex and lengthy. What struck me about that story was not that our system is unfair but that it is totally inadequate. There are nowhere near enough staff to process information properly, to deal with the heavy burden of administration, to listen to the people and to make properly informed decisions. From there it is only a short step to the National Health Service, to Social Services, to Policing and what is the problem with all of them- under-resourcing. There are not enough people employed to do all that needs to be done.\nI am not na\u00efve! I know that money does not grow on trees. But what frightens me is this growing sense that we live in a culture of \u201cgrudge;\u201d an underlying attitude that anyone who is poor, hungry, homeless, seeking asylum, disabled, long-term sick, frail are somehow in this position because it is their own fault. And that therefore it is an act of charity on the part of the fit and strong, the comfortably off and successful to allow help and support to be given. And this charity is given grudgingly: \u201cwe should not have to do this. If these people who are poor and sick and needy could somehow get their act together we could keep more of our money for ourselves.\u201d Let me be honest with you: having lived in the high-achieving, prosperous South East for nearly thirty years now, I catch myself sinking into this mentality of impatience with people who are struggling to cope. And I look at myself in horror and ask \u201cwhat have you come to?\u201d None of us can help getting \u201cweary with well-doing\u201d as the Bible says and having horrible thoughts crowd into our minds when we are exhausted but this basic attitude- that people in need are little more than a drain on our society and an encumbrance to living a happy, prosperous life- is only a few steps away from Adolf Hitler. He just moved on from thinking to actually liquidating he they considered inadequate. Is this the way we want to go?\nWilliam Barclay, commenting on the letter to the Ephesians, said that the most effective way of reconciling two people who are at loggerheads with each other is via one person who loves and is loved by both. This, said Paul, is what Jesus Christ is doing. He reaches out both hands and draws us to God; he reaches out both hands and joins us to each other. He joins those who call themselves Jews and those who call themselves Greeks, bringing them together to create something new. And in this new community there are no divisions, no needing to prove yourself, no being told that you are worthless, because all have a value and know their value in the sight of God.\nOur nation desperately needs these kind of communities right now. It needs men and women of faith to point out and to demonstrate that there is an alternative way of assessing human beings besides that of dividing them into winners and losers.\nFor the third and last time, I am not na\u00efve. But I just look at history showing us that a society in which nearly all the power and resources are in the hands of a privileged minority is an unstable society that will not survive. Sooner or later there will be a revolution of some kind and most likely a revolution soaked in blood. We may feel that we are lacking the skills or the knowledge to bring about huge political changes but that is not what the Christian church did in the first century. Those who were reconciled to God and to one another through their belief in Jesus Christ simply taught and showed an alternative way of living to that of the power-hungry, elitist Roman Empire. Often it has taken only one voice speaking out for a different way of seeing things that has stopped a whole lot more people in their tracks and made them think \u201cmaybe they are making a good point here\u2026\u201d This was how it went in the early church: a small alternative culture that answered a growing need.\nSO: Do you need to go to church in order to be a Christian? Do you need to sacrifice some of your precious \u201cme time\u201d to sitting in a hot church on a Sunday morning, having your kitchen wall plastered with rotas, putting up with people like that Thaddeus who get on your nerves or demand to much of you?\nYou never know, Thaddeus may be the person whose words and ways you have outgrown but without whom you would never have known about Jesus or about being a Christian.\nThaddeus may be the person whose ideas about faith are different to your own but who will prevent you from becoming narrow-minded and arrogant in your beliefs.\nThaddeus may be the person who is holding you in prayer when you are in such a dark place that you feel you have no faith left.\nThaddeus may be the person who sends you a card or brings you some flowers when you are feeling so isolated you could weep with loneliness.\nThaddeus may be the person who sends you yet another rota for yet another job but without whose persistence you might have drifted right away from the faith community.\nThaddeus may be the person whose needs invade your own comfortable, private space but you find yourself encountering Christ as you serve him.\nThaddeus may be the person who started up Food Banks for the hungry and Street pastors for the most vulnerable when our political systems failed them.\nThaddeus may be one of the last members left in that tiny local church who still speak up for the needy in the name of Jesus Christ and look for ways of serving them, hoping and praying that others will become convinced.\nMaybe it is not a case of \u201cdo Christians still need the church?\u201d More a case of \u201cdoes the church still need us?\u201d",

        "raw_content": "WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY: Suspense Author J. J. DiBenedetto\nJ.J. DiBenedetto, Author\nDREAM STUDENT, DREAM DOCTOR,\nDREAM CHILD, DREAM FAMILY\nSuspense author J.J. DiBenedetto brings us a series of novels whose protagonist, Sara Barnes, sees other people\u2019s dreams, including some gruesome murders. As Sara struggles to understand and even act on these dreams, \"The tension built over the length of the story and I found myself unable to put it down,\" said one reviewer. In the four-book series, we see her grow, become a doctor, get married, and have a family - all while dealing with other people's dreams.\nWhen the author is not writing about dreams, he enjoys operas. As with so many of us, he and his wife do whatever his cat says. And, he is a New York Giants fan.\nDon't miss the short excerpt at the end of the interview.\nQ: What inspired you to create a character who dreams other people\u2019s dreams --and then build a series with that character?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: The idea just \u201ccame to me\u201d \u2013 that someone could see into dreams, and then use what they saw there in their waking life to solve a problem. Then I asked myself, \u201cwhat problem could someone see in another person\u2019s dream that they\u2019d have to solve?\u201d That\u2019s where the idea of a killer who committed his crimes without witnesses came from\u2014so the dreamer would be the only witness, and they\u2019d feel compelled to act.\nQ: Many of your reviewers appreciate the suspense in your series -- \u201ca lot of suspense that will keep you guessing.\u201d How do you create this suspense for your readers?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: Mainly by trying to keep everything else in the book more realistic. Each of the books has a lot of focus on everyday life, whether it\u2019s college or medical school or the everyday ups and downs of a marriage. I think that heightens the suspense of the dreams and the difficult situations my characters get involved in due to them.\nQ: What do you do to help readers care about your characters?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: I just try to create real people, with quirks and foibles, and show them in everyday situations that the reader can relate to. Who knows what any of us would do if we were confronted with a serial killer\u2014but we all know what it\u2019s like to be up against a school or work deadline, or how to balance family and work, or whether to keep a secret that would hurt a loved one if they knew it.\nQ: What makes a hero/heroine?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: Unselfishness, most of all. Putting what\u2019s right, and the good of others, ahead of yourself.\nQ: What makes a villain?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: The quality of treating other people as less than you, less than human. Once you start down that road, there\u2019s eventually nothing you won\u2019t do, if you don\u2019t see the people you\u2019re doing it to as human beings.\nQ: One of your reviewers said of your first book DREAM STUDENT, \u201cA bit of paranormal for fans of realism.\u201d How do you create that realism or sense of credibility in books about someone who can see other people\u2019s dreams?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: Basically by making the dreams the only paranormal element\u2014and also by not giving Sara much, if any, control over them. It\u2019s a lot easier to accept the story when it\u2019s basically the real world, with one small exception. Also, I think it helps that Sara still has to work out what the dreams mean during her waking hours, and she ends up doing a lot of old-fashioned detective work. The dreams aren\u2019t a cure-all for the situations she finds herself in.\nQ: Is setting relevant to your story? Could Sara dream other\u2019s dreams anywhere, at any time?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: The setting is mainly relevant because putting it in the time and place I did made it a lot easier to create a believable, detailed world for Sara to live in (her college in Dream Student is more-or-less my college with the names changed, for one thing). The setting of 1989-90 for the first book is also so I didn\u2019t have to worry about Sara and her friends having cell phones or using Google to solve their problems. But we do see in the later books that Sara\u2019s dreams follow her to medical school, residency and private practice.\nQ: Do you write from an outline, or do your characters push you around? (I might be a little nervous that Sara might use your dreams to make you do what she wants!)\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: I don\u2019t have a formal outline, but I do have a general idea of where the story is going. But Sara (and some of the other characters!) have surprised me now and then as the books have gone on.\nQ: How important is delivering a message or educating readers in your stories? Or do you write purely for entertainment?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: Entertainment is the main purpose, but I also definitely wanted to write about a heroine who was unselfish and courageous and compassionate, and who didn\u2019t make self-destructive choices. If there\u2019s any message, it\u2019s that those qualities (courage, compassion, hard work) are important and ought to be valued. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a message that we see often enough in popular culture these days.\nQ: Tell us something about yourself. What do you do when you\u2019re not writing? Do you have a muse? Do you have any hobbies? Music? Books?\nJ. J. DiBenedetto: I\u2019m a huge opera fan and I try to go as often as I can. I read a lot, mostly science fiction/fantasy, and I\u2019m a big sports fan as well. And when I\u2019m home I do whatever my cat wants me to, since she runs our household!\nAbout J.J. DiBenedetto\nAbout DREAM STUDENT (Book #1)\nWhat would you do if you could see other people's dreams? If you could watch their hidden fantasies and uncover their deepest, darkest secrets...without them ever knowing?\nSara Barnes is about to find out. She thought that all she had to worry about was final exams, Christmas shopping and deciding whether she likes the cute freshman in the next dorm who's got a crush on her.\nBut when she starts seeing dreams that aren't hers, she learns more than she ever wanted to know about her friends, her classmates...and a strange, terrifying man whose dreams could get Sara killed.\nAbout DREAM DOCTOR (Book #2)\n\u201cI didn\u2019t expect to be woken up by someone I don\u2019t know dreaming about killing somebody. I thought I was done with that once and for all...\"\nBut Sara's not done with it. As if adjusting to life as a newlywed and starting medical school weren't difficult enough, she's started seeing the dreamas of everyone around her, again. Before everything is said and done, those dreams might destroy Sara's hopes of becoming a doctor, wreck her marriage and even end her life...\nAbout DREAM CHILD (Book #3)\n\"I would give anything to take this away from her. I would gladly go back to having the nightmares myself - the very worst ones, the ones that had me waking up screaming in a pool of my own vomit - rather than see Lizzie go through this...\"\nAs a resident at Children's Hospital, Sara can handle ninety hour workweeks, fighting to save her young patients from deadly childhood diseases. But she's about to be faced with a challenge that all her training and experience haven't prepared her for: her four-year-old daughter has inherited her ability to see other people's dreams...\nAbout DREAM FAMILY (Book #4)\n\"Why is this so hard for me? Why am I having so much trouble? Why do I feel so helpless, so hopeless? What the hell is wrong with me?\"\nAfter tangling with murders and mobsters, not to mention medical school and three years of residency, Sara thought she could handle anything. And then the police show up without warning at her new office and arrest her for a crime she can't possibly have committed. Sara's confidence, and her grip on reality, is shattered during one terrifying night in jail.\nNow, the very dreams that have endangered her life and driven her to the edge of madness may be the only thing that can help Sara find herself again...\n\u201cYou said he opened the trunk. Were you watching from behind him?\u201d I try to picture it. I feel pounding, as though my brain is beating itself against the inside of my skull. I was in the back seat, but then \u2013 I guess \u2013 yes. I was outside.\n\u201cYeah. I see what he\u2019s doing. I can see the trunk.\u201d\n\u201cCan you see the license plate?\u201d God! It\u2019s really hard to focus. It hurts. I just want it to stop hurting. I can see \u2013 it\u2019s an Ohio plate. I can read - I think I can read it.\n\u201cLXG. L like in large, X like in x-ray, G like in good. And then three numbers. One, four, seven.\u201d I feel a tear fall from my eye. I want to stop. I can\u2019t \u2013 can\u2019t keep doing this.\n\u201cAre you sure? L, X, G, one, four, seven?\u201d Beth\u2019s voice is so calm, so peaceful. How can it be so calm? I hate her for that. What right does she have to be so calm?\nAm I sure? I don\u2019t \u2013 I have to focus. Focus. Focus. \u201cYes. Definitely. I\u2019m sure.\u201d\nThere\u2019s a hand on my head, pushing my hair off my forehead. Something cold \u2013 a washcloth? That\u2019s nice. That feels a little better. \u201cYou were amazing,\u201d Beth whispers into my ear. \u201cReally amazing. I\u2019m proud of you.\u201d\nI can\u2019t make any words come out; none of my muscles want to work. I think I might have managed a very weak smile, but I\u2019m not even sure about that.\nI feel a hand on my back, and another on my forehead, I\u2019m being pushed up. Someone grabs my left hand and puts a cup into it, and some \u2013 pills? aspirin, maybe? \u2013 into my right hand. \u201cThere you go. Swallow those, have a little water,\u201d Beth says. I follow her orders, and I\u2019m lowered back down.\n\u201cGood. Now go to sleep.\u201d I feel lips pressing against mine. I assume they\u2019re Brian\u2019s. I hope so\u2026\nDREAM STUDENT (Book #1)\nDREAM DOCTOR (Book #2)\nDREAM CHILD (Book #3)\nDREAM FAMILY (Book #4)\nJames D April 26, 2013 at 3:58 AM\nThanks for interviewing me!\nFiona Quinn April 26, 2013 at 9:31 AM\nStopped in to show some WLC <3\nhttp://www.thrillwriting.blogspot.com/\n~Fiona",

        "title": "Step Inside for a Cool Experience - Outer Banks, NC | Sunny Day Guide",
        "raw_content": "Step Inside for a Cool Experience\nMany of the great experiences offered on the Outer Banks are outdoors. However, sometimes you need to beat the heat or avoid the rain with an indoor activity. As you\u2019re sure to find, there are amazing things to do inside and lots of fun to be had. So go ahead and step inside one of the many cool attractions on the Outer Banks.\nTour Wild Exhibits\nA great way for children to combine their love of the beach with an educational trip is to visit the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. Here, children and adults can learn about the fish that swim in the very same waters where they play. As visitors tour the facility, which is designed to inspire \u201cappreciation and conservation of North Carolina\u2019s aquatic environments,\u201d they can witness sea life including sharks, turtles and rays in re-created natural habitats. Creatures such as alligators, otters and snakes that dwell in coastal environments can also be viewed in the \u201cWild Wetlands\u201d exhibit.\nFor a more in-depth look at wildlife on land and in the sea, visit the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education in Corolla. Here, guests can greet \u201cBanks\u201d the (stuffed) black bear, see a re-created duck blind from the 1900s, and explore countless models of wildlife that once ran free in the Outer Banks region.\nCatching a movie is the classic rainy day activity. And there are a couple of movie theaters to choose from in the area that show the latest films. One of the most beloved is the Pioneer Theatre in Manteo. Built in 1918, this theater is a local treasure. The prices are low and the building, which has been owned by the same family since its beginning, is an experience in itself. Those who are staying farther north can visit RC Theatres in Kill Devil Hills. This large modern multiplex presents over a dozen films with ample seating for groups and parties. Another option is to see a play at the Theatre of Dare, also in Kill Devil Hills. Support the local arts while taking in a live production. The local talent at this community theater is exceptional and the plays offered vary between popular favorites and obscure delights. Their season starts in the fall. Visit their website at www.theatreofdareobx.com to see what\u2019s playing!\nExperience \u201cLiving\u201d History\nThe stories of the rescues performed by the brave men who served at the Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station are recounted through the artifacts that are still contained within its walls. Built in 1874, this station has saved many from ill-fated sea voyages off the perilous coast of the Outer Banks. Take a short trip to Frisco on Hatteras Island to view relics salvaged from shipwrecks, photographs of the men who risked their lives, medals awarded for outstanding service, and even the tools that were used in the daring rescues. It\u2019s a unique and outstanding attraction that should not be overlooked while on vacation on the Outer Banks.\nExplore Native American Heritage\nLong before European settlers arrived on the shores of the Outer Banks, Native Americans were flourishing in the region. The Algonquin Indian tribes left behind many artifacts from those early days and beyond. Thankfully, some of those items have been saved and preserved through the efforts of Carl Bornfriend. Visit the museum he founded, the Frisco Native American Museum & Natural History Center, to get a glimpse into the life and culture of these native people through the art and tools that they created. Afterwards, stroll the trails that lead to the sound to maybe walk in their former footsteps.\nEnjoying family activities together instills cherished memories that last a lifetime. The Outer Banks offers a variety of indoor recreational opportunities that require active participation. When was the last time the parents challenged the kids in a game of laser tag or knocked down some pins at a bowling alley? Sometimes it takes a vacation to remember how much fun these things can be. The new Turf's Up offers a large array of indoor games using modern technology. Play sports such as golf, soccer, dodgeball and baseball using high resolution video screens that simulate the thrill of the game. The family will have a lot of fun engaging in some friendly competition while getting some beneficial exercise.\nThe variety of stores located on the Outer Banks is seemingly limitless and the items they carry are plentiful. There are so many great gifts to purchase for family and friends and especially for ourselves. For instance, it could be fun to get a new outfit for a romantic night out or a bathing suit for the beach. Custom products that are unique to the Outer Banks such as pieces of art, fashionable jewelry or local wines are wonderful remembrances of a fantastic vacation. There are even specialty stores that sell things collectors may enjoy such as Outer Banks Christmas ornaments, Simply Southern and Salt Life merchandise, and unique growlers for beer connoisseurs (you can even have them filled with locally produced beer!) The possibility of finding something wonderful is limitless. Enjoy browsing through the shops that are found in every town and on every island until you stumble on that perfect something that piques your interest.\nSpa services are always a good idea. Whether it\u2019s a relaxing massage or a pedicure with a fun new color on the toes, you\u2019re on vacation and it\u2019s time to relax! The islands of the Outer Banks have many places where you can go and be pampered. This could also be the time to try a new look or something different\u2026 maybe even crazy. Did you want to try a new hair color? Why not do it here?! For something not-so-permanent, how about a commemorative henna tattoo or a colorful hair wrap? Go ahead and have fun with a new look!\nSo when you need a break from the heat and would like to do something indoors, remember that the Outer Banks has many options for you and your family. Have fun together in indoor comfort!",

Checking out the level of your blood pressure at the wrist is an alternative, however the Omron Project Zero Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor has turned out to be the initial watch-sized pressure gauge, which assures readings as precise as what you\u2019d get from upper arm models.\nValuation and accessibility for the Project Zero is still undecided as the company works to complete documentation and FDA examining on the appliance, however the firm stated that it will be precise enough to be approved for utilization in hospitals as well as medical facilities.\nBecause Omron makes use of a miniaturized edition of the inflatable cuff detected on larger blood pressure apparatuses, the Project Zero is not quite as slender as a useable like the Apple Watch, but it can still be worn day and night as a health trailer if you don\u2019t mind a little additional weight on your wrist joint.\nBesides checking the blood pressure (BP) level, Omron\u2019s over-sized wearable also checks out other fitness metric units such as physical movement, or even the quality of your sleep during the night.\nSource: OMRON",

        "raw_content": "Posted by: TechGeniux Staff on Jun 30, 2015 | No Comments\nIt seem like 3D printing technology is improving each day. So you can imagine my disbelief to see the world\u2019s first 3D supercar called the Blade, the first prototype supercar based on this new technology, Divergent Microfactories CEO Kevin Czinger introduced the company\u2019s plan to dematerialize and democratize car manufacturing. The company has truly unveiled a disruptive new approach to auto manufacturing that incorporates 3D printing to dramatically reduce the pollution, materials and capital costs associated with building automobiles and other large complex structures.\n\u201cSociety has made great strides in its awareness and adoption of cleaner and greener cars. The problem is that while these cars do now exist, the actual manufacturing of them is anything but environmentally friendly,\u201d said Kevin Czinger, founder & CEO, Divergent Microfactories. \u201cAt Divergent Microfactories, we\u2019ve found a way to make automobiles that holds the promise of radically reducing the resource use and pollution generated by manufacturing. It also holds the promise of making large-scale car manufacturing affordable for small teams of innovators. And as Blade proves, we\u2019ve done it without sacrificing style or substance. We\u2019ve developed a sustainable path forward for the car industry that we believe will result in a renaissance in car manufacturing, with innovative, eco-friendly cars like Blade being designed and built in microfactories around the world.\u201d\nDivergent Microfactories\u2019 technology centers around its proprietary solution called a Node: a 3D-printed aluminum joint that connects pieces of carbon fiber tubing to make up the car\u2019s chassis. The Node solves the problem of time and space by cutting down on the actual amount of 3D printing required to build the chassis and can be assembled in just minutes. In addition to dramatically reducing materials and energy use, the weight of the Node-enabled chassis is up to 90% lighter than traditional cars, despite being much stronger and more durable. This results in better fuel economy and less wear on roads. The centerpiece of the Divergent Microfactories announcement is Blade, the world\u2019s first 3D-printed supercar. Designed and built using Divergent Microfactories\u2019 technology, the prototype is one of the greenest and most powerful cars in the world. Equipped with a 700-horsepower bi-fuel engine that can use either compressed natural gas or gasoline, Blade goes from 0-60 in about two seconds and weighs around 1,400 pounds. Divergent Microfactories plans to sell a limited number of high-performance vehicles that will be manufactured in its own microfactory.\nIn addition to unveiling its technology platform and prototype, Divergent Microfactories announced plans to democratize auto manufacturing. The goal is to put the platform in the hands of small entrepreneurial teams around the world, allowing them to set up their own microfactories and build their own cars and, eventually, other large complex structures. These microfactories will make innovation affordable while reducing the health and environmental impacts of traditional manufacturing.\nOnly time will tell if 3D printed cars will be the next big tech of this generation but looking over all the information, benefits and time to build a car of this caliber I think Divergent Microfactories is ahead of the curve. Share your thoughts on new Blade 3D printed supercar!",

        "raw_content": "Musk and Tesla will each pay $20 million under the settlement, the SEC said in a statement Saturday. Andrew Doane, who has a Model S sedan, Model X crossover and Model 3 auto and is president of the Tesla Owners Club of the Mid-Atlantic region, mustered club members to pull shifts at delivery hubs in Virginia and Maryland, and worked one himself.\nIn a follow-up company blog post issued August 13, Musk explained that his assertion of having \"funding secured\" was based on multiple encounters he had with the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund, where he felt there was \"no question that a deal with the Saudi sovereign fund could be closed\".\nThe settlement will require the billionaire to relinquish his role as chairman for at least three years, but he will able to remain as chief executive.\n\"This is a good resolution for Tesla stakeholders\", Ben Kallo, an analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co. with the equivalent of a buy rating on the shares, said in an email.\nTesla jumped 16 percent to $306.50 at 6:28 a.m.\nHe's made these assurances in large part due to progress Tesla has made in producing more Model 3 sedans - the first electric vehicle Tesla has tried to mass-manufacture.\nIn any case, the $40 million, which will be distributed to harmed shareholders after a court-approved process, are but a very small fraction of the more than $7 billion lost due to the whole debacle.\nFrom the beginning of this case, the SEC requested as a penalty that Elon Musk had left the position of chairman from the board of Tesla, something that has now been achieved. However, according to the latest reports, the CEO of Tesla, the well-known vehicle manufacturing company, of course, Elon Musk resigns as chairman of Telsa. \"At the same time, there will be appropriate restraints in place\".\nThe settlement doesn't resolve investors' lawsuits, which were significantly strengthened by the SEC's complaint. Despite Friday's plunge, though, Musk seemed to be in light spirits on Friday, expressing his gratitude to the Tesla community and even posting a \"Don't Panic\" message on Twitter.",

        "raw_content": "The New Jersey state chapter of Americans for Prosperity (AFP) is helping West African immigrants lobby the New Jersey legislature to change cosmetology requirements.\nWest African immigrants, usually women, operate hair-braiding businesses that are essentially illegal, since state regulations require these workers to get a license, WNYC reported Monday. That license is acquired from cosmetology school, which is often expensive, and degrees can cost up to $20,000.\nThese hair braiders have been lobbying Trenton for two years to pass a bill that would exempt the cosmetology school credentials from the licensing requirement. They received guidance from AFP in order to do so.\n\u201cThose guys came and said, \u2018We are going to work you through this,\u2019\u201d said Anita Yeboah, a braider who works at J&C African Braids in Trenton, to WNYC. \u201cAll we can say to them is, God bless them for their time, for all they are doing.\u201d\nSince hair braiders often work under the table, customers sometimes skip out on their bills and threaten to tell the state the braiders lack a license if they try to complain or call the police. This then causes some braiders in Newark to hire gang members for protection, who go out and collect money owed to them.\nErica Jedynak, the state director for AFP, told WNYC that helping these hair braiders, often the sole breadwinners for their families, was an important part of the group\u2019s efforts to reduce government involvement in business.\nThe bill Yeboah and AFP lobbied for would establish a new Hair Braiding Establishment Advisory Committee, which would administer the new standards, such as exempting hair braiding from current regulations. The bill passed unanimously in both the state senate and the state assembly and awaits the governor\u2019s signature.\nThe bill was sponsored by Democratic Assemblywomen Angela McKnight and Shanique Speight, who noted the vast majority of hair braiders are black women.\n\u201cHair braiders are predominantly African-American and African immigrant women. This is a skill that is often learned at an early age and passed down from one generation to the next,\u201d McKnight said to The Root. \u201cAsking hair braiders to spend time and money on training that doesn\u2019t relate to their craft so they can do it professionally is unnecessarily burdensome and only helps to keep talented people out of work.\u201d\nOpponents to the licensing reform bill contend that since the braiders work with hair, they should still be regulated the same, despite the fact that African hair braiders don\u2019t use chemicals and current certification classes don\u2019t cover hair braiding.\nJedynak pointed out that the bill had significant bipartisan support.\n\u201cIn a context of just New Jersey bickering, and even some of the national discourse that is unfortunate, you have both sides coming together,\u201d she said to WNYC.\nThis is not the first time conservatives have worked to change licensing requirements. AFP has been working for years to undo occupational licensing requirements, while Arizona\u2019s governor, Doug Ducey, has championed occupational licensing reform since he became governor in 2015.\nElias Atienza is a reporter at Daily Caller News Foundation.

        "raw_content": "Information about Kyrie Irving\nIrving played for Montclair Kimberley Academy in his freshman and sophomore years in high school. He averaged 26. 5 points, 10. 3 assists, 4. 8 rebounds, and 3. 6 steals and became only the school's second 1,000 point scorer. In his sophomore year, he led MKA to its first New Jersey Prep 'B' state title. After that year, he transferred to St. Patrick High School because he felt he needed a bigger challenge. He had to sit out the first 30 days of St. Patrick's season due to the transfer. At St. Patrick, Irving played with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who was widely regarded as one of the best players in the class of 2011. In his first season, Irving averaged 17. 0 ppg. , 5. 0 rpg. , 6. 0 apg. and 2. 0 spg, and led the team to its third New Jersey Tournament of Champions title in four years. In August 2009, he led the USA East to the tournament title in the Nike Global Challenge. He was the MVP with 21. 3 ppg. and 4. 3 apg. The next year, St. Patrick was banned from the state tournament for holding practice prior to the permitted start of the winter sports season. St. Patrick went 24-3 and won the Union County Tournament championship as he finished his senior year with 24. 0 ppg, 5. 0 rpg. and 7. 0 apg.\nStar Wars Online Coloring Pages\nGravity Falls Characters Coloring Pages\nMilk Jug Snowman Coloring Pages\nCurious Geoge Fire Coloring Pages\nShells And Fish Coloring Pages\nSept Coloring Pages\nTundra Related Coloring Pages",

        "raw_content": "In surprise vote, Fed continues stimulus plan\nBernanke\u2019s statements following the Fed\u2019s surprise vote are sure to ease concerns in India [Xinhua]\nIn a surprise move, members of the Open Market Committee at the US Federal Reserve voted Wednesday to continue a stimulus programme \u2013 known as quantitative easing \u2013 of buying $85 billion in bonds.\nGlobal markets, especially those in emerging economies, were critical of comments by the Fed\u2019s Chairman Ben Bernanke in the past six months that Washington would end quantitative easing in mid-2014.\nThe buying of bonds on such a scale leads to an increase in their values and creates \u201cextra cash\u201d for companies and investment firms.\nMany have used the extra cash to invest in foreign markets \u2013 particularly in India, Brazil, China, Turkey, Indonesia and others considered a \u201cgood buy\u201d.\nWhen the US announced in May that it was ending quantitative easing, foreign investors began to pull their capital out of once lucrative markets in Brazil, South Africa, India and Turkey.\nThis led to a massive drop in local currencies in these countries.\nAt the G20 Saint Petersburg Leaders\u2019 Summit two weeks ago, China and India urged developed nations to carry out effective structural reforms, and seriously consider the timing, steps and patterns of withdrawing their quantitative easing measures.\nOn Wednesday, Bernanke said that the Fed had not set a fixed schedule for when quantitative easing would end. In statements made several months ago, Bernanke had set an unemployment rate of 7 per cent as a sign of a revived economy that would no longer require the stimulus regimen. Now, however, with unemployment in the US at 7.3 per cent, the Fed chairman says the 7 per cent threshold will no longer be an absolute line.\nThe Open Market Committee said following its two-day policy conference that while the economy had made some gains, they decided to await more evidence that progress will be sustained before adjusting the pace of quantitative easing.\nUS economic growth was earlier revised to 2.3 per cent from 2.6 per cent this year.\nThe Fed also said it was keeping short-term interest rates near zero, in a bid to encourage lending.\n\u201cMortgage rates have risen further and fiscal policy is restraining economic growth,\u201d the Fed said, warning that \u201cthe tightening of financial conditions observed in recent months, if sustained, could slow the pace of improvement in the economy and labor market.\u201d\nFollowing the meeting, Bernanke said that economic growth has generally been proceeding at a moderate pace with continued, albeit somewhat uneven, improvement in labor market conditions. But he warned that \u201cto say that the job market has improved does not imply that current conditions are satisfactory.\u201d\nThe news is sure to ease concerns in India, which has blamed the Fed\u2019s initial plan (to end the stimulus package) for the dramatic drop in the rupee\u2019s value. The rupee fell by over 18 per cent this past summer.\nIn late August, Indian Prime Minister Manhoman Singh said that the Fed\u2019s tapering \u2013 or ending of quantitative easing \u2013 hurt the local economy. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry scrambled to contain the damage, with the latter setting up a task force to examine whether currency swapping with China could help the rupee\u2019s free fall.\nIndia also urged cooperation and support from its fellow BRICS members to come up with a common strategy to minimise the impact of tapering.\nBrazilian President Dilma Rousseff also criticised the Fed in late August and said that her country\u2019s Central Bank held several currency swap auctions in a bid to halt the real\u2019s depreciation against the greenback.\nIn the meantime, markets have reacted positively to the Fed\u2019s vote.\nOn Thursday, Japan\u2019s Nikkei rose to its highest level in nearly two months on the news.\nEarlier, oil prices jumped by 2.5 per cent while the price of gold jumped by at least $30. In New York, the S&P 500 surged to a new record high; the Dow Jones jumped over 147 points to a new record.\nAnti-Spam * Time limit is exhausted. Please reload the CAPTCHA. nine \u2212 =",

        "raw_content": "Aunt Cindy \u2013 Part One\nJohn was a 14 year old boy who spends his holidays with his grandparents and aunt. He had done that since he was 8 years old and he always looked forward to those periods. But this year should be really different for him. At school he had fallen in love, but he was denied. But since that moment he couldn\u2019t stop thinking about girls. John was very young when he found out that he had a special feeling for furs. His mom didn\u2019t have any furs, but his grandma had always worn furs and she liked them a lot. Living with his grandparents was his aunt, Cindy. She was only 21 years old and the youngest sister of his own mother. Cindy seemed to have special feelings for furs too. Sometimes she even wore her furs indoors. Cindy was extremely good looking, with very long blond hair and a pretty face. Because his grandparents were extremely rich, they could afford a lot of furs.\nHis grandparents were very nice. He often went out camping with his grandpa. His aunt Cindy was really nice to him and from the moment she first met him, she liked her only nephew very much and liked to hang around with him. Today they were very close.\nHis mom dropped him off, kissed him goodbye and left. John had the same room he always had. The house of his parents was completely surrounded by forests and it was very quiet. It was a big house and it had the shape of the letter \u201cU\u201d. One of the 2 legs of the U was longer than the other one and his room was on top floor of the longest U.\nAfter 3 weeks, his grandpa told John that he and his grandmother had to go to Europe on a business trip for the remainder of the holidays. Cindy would make sure that everything went right. Although John was sad that his grandparents left, he became quite excited about being alone in this huge house. And with only Cindy around, he should be able to see and play with his grandmothers\u2019 furs!\nChapter 2 \u2013 Grandparents Gone\nOne evening shortly after they left, Cindy was visited by one of her closest friends. Her name was Deborah. She was as good looking as his aunt was. She came in and John immediately felt aroused by her huge red fox coat. The 2 girl went into Cindy\u2019s room. John thought that this was the time to play with the furs of his grandmother. He had never seen her entire collection and he was quite curious. He walked into the room. There, his search was very short. He opened the biggest wardrobe in the room. He was amazed by the enormous collection of furs he saw there. Some of them he had seen before, but most of them were entirely new. He saw almost every kind of coat there, and the sight of all these furs aroused him a lot. He looked around and listened very hard, but there was nothing that indicated that his aunt knew that he was here. Now the second step. He took the four most beautiful coats from the wardrobe and brought them to his room. He had to do it quickly, so Cindy would not see him. The furs were a lot heavier than he expected, but he reached his room unseen by the 2 girls. Now he sneaked back to close the wardrobe again and make sure that he didn\u2019t leave a trace of his visit. When he walked by the bathroom, he was spotted by Deborah, who asked, \u201dHi John, going to the toilet?\u201d \u201cYes,\u201d he stammered and went inside very quickly. He closed the door behind him and was very thankful that she had given him a way out. He deeply breathed and listened if Deborah had gone. He heard nothing more and since she had carried glasses, he thought that she had gone back into Cindy\u2019s room.\nJohn silently opened the door and sneaked out. There was nothing to see or hear. He breathed deeply again and got to his grandparent\u2019s room and closed the wardrobe. He heard the music in Cindy\u2019s room become louder. He walked to the door again and listened, but the noise of the music made him unable to hear if anyone was in the hallway. So he guessed that no one was there and left the bedroom. To he relief the hallway was deserted and he went back to his room and closed the door.\nThere he watched his catch. On his bed lay 4 coats, a blue fox coat, a silver fox coat, as well as a white mink coat and chinchilla coat. The chinchilla was the one he liked the most. All the 4 coats were floor length. He took up the chinchilla coat and put it over his face. What an incredible feeling! It was so soft and nice. He smelled a fantastic perfume on the coat which he had never smelled before. This aroused him even more, and it didn\u2019t take to long for him to get a tremendous hard-on.\nHe was interrupted by a loud knock on his door. He jumped up and quickly hid the coats under his bed. He sat down to hide his enormous hard on and yelled, \u201cIt\u2019s open!\u201d Cindy entered the room and asked, \u201cWould you like to come to my room for a drink John?\u201d Although his was afraid that she might discover his huge erection, John didn\u2019t dare to say no. He always loved to drink something in her room, so she would find it very strange when he refused this time. \u201cYes, that would be really nice auntie.\u201d \u201cJohn, I already told you: don\u2019t call me auntie. My name is Cindy, okay? Let\u2019s go. You can meet Deborah too. I think you\u2019re really going to like her.\u201d\nJohn went along and spent the rest of the evening in Cindy\u2019s room. Her room was very nicely decorated. She had a zebra rug on the floor and 2 bear skins on the wall. On one of her bookcases lay some fox skins. Her sat down on her bed which was huge. He saw that Deborah had brought her coat with her and hung it over a chair. On the other chair he saw Cindy\u2019s favorite coat, her floor length raccoon coat. He spoke to the girls and he did like Deborah. She seemed interested in the place he was from. When all the drinks were gone he wanted to go to bed, but Deborah proposed to get some more. John liked her very much and she was very attractive so he agreed. She left the room and it took a while for her to return. \u201cI couldn\u2019t find the other can, that\u2019s why it took so long. I\u2019m sorry!\u201d she explained.\nChapter 3 \u2013 Watching\nFinally back in his room, John collected the furs and brought them back to his grandmothers\u2019 room. He returned to his room unseen. He happily walked to his window and looked outside. He looked out in the dark opening the window so he could see better. He heard the sound of Cindy\u2019s music. He hung out of the window, but wasn\u2019t able to look into her room. He tried to look before and never made it. He turned back and took a chair. He stood on it and bent over. If he reached out very far he could see her window. Although he thought that it was quite rude to spy on someone, he was really exited that he could watch without being noticed. He looked into the room and saw both of the girls. They wore their furs and were parading with them. This was his own aunt, but he couldn\u2019t help it. He got extremely turned on. They moved out of his sight and he stared in the dark again, secretly hoping that they would return. But so far nothing happened. He watched and slowly his eyes got used to the dark and he could see more and more of the surroundings.\nHe turned to the window again and this time he really saw something. Both girls could be seen again, but he was blinded by the sudden strong light and he couldn\u2019t see clearly right away. But was it..? Was it really? Yes, they were naked! Now his penis stiffened. His eyes were used to the light again and he watched amazed how both girls paraded through the room, with only their furs on, but they were opened and exposed everything to the heavily breathing John. He had never seen naked girls except for pictures in magazines. Now he saw both of these beautiful girls parading right in front of his own eyes! They sat down and began rubbing the furs on each other! This was getting more and more exiting every minute.\nCindy pulled her head back and opened her mouth while Deborah rubbed the soft red fox fur to her tights. He could see that she was shaking more and more, until it suddenly ended. Now Cindy did the same thing to Deborah. They played with each other! Although he found it horrible when two men or women had sex together, this event aroused him enormously and considered it as very sexy. He saw how they now embraced each other. They now switched the lights off. He thought that this was all he would see, so he pulled back and closed the window. He looked in the mirror and felt a little ashamed that he watched his own aunt having sex. He went to bed and fell asleep.\nChapter 4 \u2013 Revenge\nHe woke up by a loud bang on his door. He turned the light on and yelled, \u201cIt\u2019s open!\u201d The door opened and Deborah and Cindy entered, dressed in the furs. They also carried a box. \u201cWhat\u2019s happening Cindy? What\u2019s going on? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?\u201d John asked. \u201cI think that you can answer that question yourself,\u201d she replied. \u201cYou\u2019ve been a naughty boy,\u201d she continued, \u201cdo you recognized the contents of the box?\u201d She showed him and he watched. Inside were the four furs of his grandmother. How did she know? Like she knew what he was thinking she continued, \u201cHow do I know? You acted a little strange this evening. So this is what you were doing. And you seem to be curious too, or why would you stare into my room when Deborah and I want to go to bed?\u201d Although she caught him her voice sounded really nice. She knew everything! \u201cNow because you saw us naked, we want something in return. We want to see you naked! Get out of bed and show us what you\u2019ve got.\u201d John didn\u2019t dare to refuse. He got out of bed and pulled down his underwear.\n\u201cThat\u2019s not bad, is it Debbie? Well, I\u2019ve seen it a lot worse on 18 year old dudes, so I suppose he\u2019s do-able. Close your eyes, John,\u201c she ordered. He did what she said and closed them. He felt the soft fur as a fur boa was put over his eyes. \u201cNow John, I know that you have a fur fetish. Just relax and this will be a wonderful experience for you. Do not move or speak unless we tell you too, okay?\u201d John nodded his head. He didn\u2019t know where this would go to, but since she knew that he watched her naked, Cindy could easily tell his mother, and that thought sent shivers down his spine. He had better obey her and hope that she would forgive him. So he agreed to do whatever she asked. He felt his hands being pulled back and tied with fur. It seemed like she had some type of fur ropes.\nHe was taken to another room. He suspected it to be Cindy\u2019s. He was put and tied on a bed. He now was completely helpless, but to his own surprise, he found himself aroused by that. The girls were in complete control. They walked around him and sat upon him. He felt their fur clad, almost naked bodies touching his and it exited him even more. He had never had an experience like this before. His penis was rock hard by now. One girl sat on his legs, the other on his chest. He felt the fur caressing his chest. The other girl rubbed her sleeves between his legs. They giggled about his erection and the fur got closer to his penis. \u201cJohn I want you to tell us when you are going to cum okay?\u201d By the sound of her voice, John figured out that Cindy was sitting on his legs and Deborah on his chest. Now the girls started to rub his testicles and penis with the sleeves of their coats. John started moaning and crawling around. What an incredible feeling. It didn\u2019t take long for him to scream that he was to cum. With a yell he exploded. Deborah took away the fur for his eyes. She bent over and gave him a open mouth kiss which seemed to last forever.",

        "raw_content": "The misguided search for morning coffee\nIt\u2019s already 1:38. I\u2019ve gotten very little done today except for a few critical, money-oriented errands. Sadly, none of that\u2019s translated into actually making money. Hmm.\nThis week is going to be very busy: We have a visitor from California. It\u2019s her first time in New York, so there\u2019s a lot to do. Already the itinerary is completely insane. I think we\u2019re booked solid, except for Thursday, which is her day in the city with her friend Jay. Sigh. And, although I\u2019ve yet to book Sunday, I really don\u2019t much feel like going down into the city on a weekend day, when there will be even more tourists than there usually on a summer day. Blech. Still. We\u2019ll see what she wants to do.\nAt any rate, it occurred to me that I\u2019ve not recounted any of the awesome stuff that\u2019s happened in the past few weeks. We\u2019ve had a few really awesome weekends, and, actually, a few firsts even for a seasoned New Yorker like me! Then again, part of the joy of living in New York was discovering new and different things every single day.\nThe weekend after we got back from Ironman, our friend Dave came to visit us. Although Chicago isn\u2019t far from Indianapolis, where Dave lives, I had a notoriously had time getting down to see him. I\u2019m really happy that Dave could extend his business trip to spend time with us over the weekend, although I\u2019m sure we weren\u2019t exactly the best company, being somewhat still jet-lagged from IM and more than a little confused.\nWe spent our first evening with Dave downtown with Peter and Alan. We ate at Arriba Arriba, which I have yet to review on Yelp because I can\u2019t actually remember eating there: I had one margarita and it about knocked my sorry, weak ass to the ground. So here is a photo that I don\u2019t remember taking of Alan and Peter\nand one of Jim and Dave\nI\u2019d show you the one of me and Alan, but you can *see my bra* through my dress in it, so I think I will both never wear that dress with a light-colored bra again and also possibly chuck both the photo and the dress. So annoyed, and embarrassed.\nAnyway. The next day Jim drove Dave and I to a place called Croton Gorge Park. It\u2019s something like 10 miles from our house and took us something like two hours to get to, but that mostly has to do with faulty directions in Jim\u2019s head. It was pretty frackin\u2019 awesome. Here is the photographic evidence of the awesomeness:\nI think that is me sitting in the bottom left corner.\nThe next week sort of flew by. There was some writing, some editing, a lot of panicking over life plans and other things. The following weekend we drove down to Long Beach Island to an old friend, Rich, and his wife Katie and their terrific dogs Lola and Piper. I\u2019m pretty sure none of these photos turned out right, but here\u2019s a couple.\nLeft to right: Lola, Rich, Piper\nJim looks completely dazed but I really like the colors in this photo\nWe had fun catching up. It was just like being with family: you\u2019ve sort of known each other long enough that all the damage has been done already. It was nice, really really nice.\nI drove to New Jersey the following day to see an old friend. I have no photos of that because I spent most of the time stuck in traffic, but I got to spend the night, and spend a lot of time with my girl Anna. All good.\nLast Thursday Peter had the brilliant idea of going to see a movie in Brooklyn Bridge Park. It was loads of fun. Both Kara and I got there in time to stake out a nice spot, and although it got crowded, our spot was large enough to fit me, Peter, Karen, and Kara. It was perfick, although I\u2019d forgotten, as Peter pointed out, how old and leather-like Cary Grant looks in the movie we saw, To Catch a Thief. It\u2019s not my favorite Hitchcock, but both the company and the scenery were spot-on, even if Mr. Grant looks like a turtle (props to Peter again). Here, you witness for yourself.\nAnd then and then\u2026I can\u2019t remember what all else. Oh, right. On Friday I met Aileen in the city and we had a lovely lovely picnic lunch in the park after a failed visit to the Guggenheim museum. And then there was meandering around on Madison Avenue while I wondered how I was going to fit all of the crap I have to fit into Adriana\u2019s repertoire of New York experiences, and also whether or not I\u2019d find a pair of shoes that wouldn\u2019t hurt me (I did, and thank goodness, too, as the ones I was wearing were literally wearing a hole in my toe), and then we went to a wine bar, where I had this experience, which pissed me off mightily.\nBut that\u2019s OK, because I was with Aileen, and I had a nice dinner with Michelle at the lovely Kellari, and then I went to the birthday party of an acquaintance, and I saw this:\nYes. The Naked Cowboy showed up. He who is running for mayor. That\u2019s right. Perfectly nice guy. Wish he wasn\u2019t so raunchy all the time, though. Every photo I watched him taking was of him grabbing someone else\u2019s rear, or of the someone else posing as grabbing his rear\u2026Sigh. Seeing as how the guy\u2019s platform is transparency (or, in his lingo, \u201cNakedness\u201d), there\u2019s not much more to be said.\nI met his campaign manager. Both he and the cowboy are perfectly nice peeps, and I am curious to see what he has to say.\nLara moved to the country, by the way, to a lovely home with its own name and everything. She is incommunicado for awhile, and I am dying to find out how she\u2019s doing. Sigh. It\u2019s funny how acutely you can feel the absence of people you only usually see online.\nI\u2019m sure there will be some epic forthcoming rumination on this. But for now, off to finish the book I\u2019m reading and maybe write a book review and [oh, God, please] some work on the novel.

        "raw_content": "Catastrophe In Making\nEvery year there is water scarcity in various parts of Delhi. Due to environmental imbalance rains have fizzled and become erratic which further leads to the drought-like situation in the country.\nExcessive use has also led to depletion of groundwater irrevocably. In most cities, residential colonies depend on tanker water for six months of the year. Water distribution and management are going to be the most challenging task before Governments in the 22nd century. The water crisis is a global catastrophe in the making and countries are devising myriad ways to brace up for the challenges.\nTHE National Green Tribunal (NGT) has recently directed the AAP Government and the Delhi University to submit within about a fortnight a list of buildings which have not installed rainwater harvesting system.\nA bench of Justice Raghuvendra S Rathore and expert member SS Garbyal passed the order noting that they had not furnished the list despite the order of the tribunal. The tribunal\u2019s direction came on a plea filed by a city resident Mahesh Chandra Saxena seeking the implementation of November 16, 2017, order of the NGT which had directed the Government as also private schools and colleges to install rainwater harvesting systems within two months at their own cost. Despite the specific direction of the tribunal, they had not submitted the list of buildings, Saxena said.\nHe claimed that the Government departments, educational institutions and residential societies had either not installed rainwater harvesting systems or had systems which were non-functional. The tribunal had ordered that any institution which failed to install the rainwater harvesting system within the stipulated period would be liable to pay environment compensation of Rs 5 lakh. It had directed schools and colleges to approach a committee constituted by it.\nThe committee was to inspect the premises and grant permission to institutions for operating the system. If it was not possible to install a rainwater harvesting system, the institution should approach the committee, it had said. According to the tribunal, the institution that gets an exemption certificate will be subject to environment compensation, which would be used for setting up rainwater harvesting systems in possible nearby areas, including parks.\nThe ruling was perfect and most appropriate one in the current settings of our urban water infrastructure.\nEvery year, half of the country reels under grave water crisis which is only growing year by year. Delhi is a rapidly growing urban agglomeration and to provide clean potable water to its 18 million citizens is a challenge for any Government. Every year, there is water scarcity in various parts of Delhi. Due to environmental imbalance rains have fizzled and become erratic which further leads to the drought-like situation in the country. Whatever rainwater we get in the three months of the year go waste due to lack of storing and preserving techniques and infrastructure. Excessive use has also led to depletion of groundwater irrevocably. In most cities, residential colonies depend on tanker water for six months of the year. Water distribution and management are going to be the most challenging task before Governments in the 22nd century. The water crisis is a global catastrophe in the making and countries are devising myriad ways to brace up for the challenges.\nIndia is unfortunately still way behind though it is one of the countries worst hit by the phenomenon. Since most of the sufferers are still the poor and the middle class, there is not much alacrity shown by the powers that be in solving the recurrent problem. There is a colossal waste in some quarters while there are people waging bloody wars over water.\nThe most practical and easy way to get over this problem to a great extent is to conserve water. The culture of conserving water is amiss in our society. Most people don\u2019t even know the value and process of saving water. But when Government organisations, with all the wherewithal at their disposal, and in blatant disregard of NGT mandate don\u2019t take measures to save water, there is no excuse and such organisations deserve strict punitive action.\nIt is sheer negligence and irresponsibility not to put in place rainwater harvesting systems in Government buildings. It is not a logistic challenge to do so, nor does such a move cost much. The AAP Government in Delhi boasts of several smart schemes and innovative measures to ameliorate the problems of Delhiites and improve their quality of life.\nIt is surprising how it could so conveniently forget and relegate the most important task of conserving water, given the grim situation Delhi is in. But it also must be remembered that water harvesting is just one of the various ways to save water for lean days.\nThere are multiple ways of water management, conservation and recycling most of which are not applied, implemented or followed in the country, leading to wastage of gallons of water every day. Each sector which has water at its disposal is responsible for it\u2014 industries, Government bodies, policymakers, commoners and leaders alike.\nNo one has an accountability towards the nation. In a water-starved country, there is no end to how much water is misused through unattended public taps, in washing cars and watering plants in bungalows of the rich. The country as a whole has poor canal network and water storing facilities, which is why every summer the fields are parched for want of water\u2014 this in a country where water harvesting, storage and conservation measures have been traditionally in place for centuries and were copied by other civilisations.\nMany of our cities have old and rusted pipelines that are frequently prone to leaks and bursts. It must be remembered that all civilisations have survived and thrived where water has been around. In lack of water, the greatest of kingdoms have perished and the grandest of capitals have been razed to dust. Water is the prime source and reason for the genesis of life without which even the planet earth would not have been in the habitable form it is today.\nThere is very little time for us to act. Pollution has already contaminated most of our water bodies beyond redemption. Hardly one per cent of fresh potable water is assessable to humanity in any case. If we destroy even that, there is no way humanity can be saved. Judicious use of water is a tough call in a country like India riddled with ignorance, insensitivity and poverty as it is. It is a Herculean task that will take aeons to explain to people the urgent need to save water and ways to do it.\nPeople are reluctant to adopt newer ways and tend to go back to their old habits once the spur goes missing. However, that doesn\u2019t absolve Governments of their guilt. The effort has to be pursued diligently and the governing bodies need to take the early initiative to set the trend in society that others will emulate. If the Government itself is slack and non-committal, the wrong message percolates down and disenchants people.\nThe NGT should come down heavily on any administration which does not abide by its injunctions in time because time is a crucial factor here which is slipping away from our hands in years of indecision and dillydallying.\nBy the way, it should also instruct all State Governments to take steps to harvest and conserve rainwater mandatorily and urgently in all their facilities and buildings, the violation of which should invite strong penalties. There are lakhs of Government buildings across the country and even if half of them could get into the right practice, it could provide water to millions every year.\nHuge response to Shah\u2019s road show\nBJP big wigs in C\u2019garh for final canvassing\nRahul Gandhi campaigns for party candidates",

Jaitley said it would go towards 1.5 lakh health and wellness centres to bring health care closer to the homes of people\nTHE Centre on Thursday announced the world\u2019s largest Government funded health care programme, aimed at benefiting 10 crore poor families by providing coverage of up to Rs 5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation.\nThe National Health Protection Scheme, announced by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in his Budget for 2018-19, will cover approximately 50 crore people.\nNoting that only a \u201cswasth Bharat\u201d (healthy India) can be a \u201csamriddha Bharat\u201d (prosperous India), Jaitley said India cannot realise its demographic dividend without its citizens being healthy. \u201cWe will launch a flagship National Health Protection Scheme to cover over 10 crore poor and vulnerable families (approximately 50 crore beneficiaries) providing coverage up to Rs 5 lakh rupees per family per year for secondary and tertiary care hospitalisation.\n\u201cThis will be the world\u2019s largest Government funded health care programme. Adequate funds will be provided for smooth implementation of this programme,\u201d the Finance Minister said while presenting the Budget for 2018-19. Jaitley said his Government has decided to take health protection to a \u201cmore aspirational level\u201d and observed that several State Governments have also implemented or supplemented health protection schemes with varying coverage plans.\nThe present Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) provides annual coverage of only Rs 30,000 to poor families. Lakhs of families in India have to borrow or sell assets to receive indoor treatment in hospitals, he said, emphasising that his Government is seriously concerned about such poor and vulnerable families.\nHe said the National Health Policy 2017 envisioned health and wellness centres as the foundation of India\u2019s health system.\nHe committed Rs 1,200 crore for the National Health Policy. This would go towards 1.5 lakh health and wellness centres to bring health care closer to the homes of people. \u201cThese centres will provide comprehensive health care, including for noncommunicable diseases and maternal and child health services.\n\u201cThese centres will also provide free essential drugs and diagnostic services. I am committing Rs 1,200 crore in this Budget for this flagship programme. I also invite contribution of private sector through CSR and philanthropic institutions in adopting these centres,\u201d he said.\nCJI puts roster system in place, keeps PILs with him\nImported cars, bikes, gold, mobile phones, perfumes to be costlier\nCentre to contribute 12% of wages to new employees under EPF",

        "title": "Artist Spotlight: Neil Jarvis - The Modern Ape",
        "raw_content": "By Kyle T @Squantz_ \u00b7 On March 17, 2014\nWell, the warm rays and relaxing days of summer are still a ways away, but with Neil Jarvis\u2018 new teaser of his forthcoming album, we can at least pretend it\u2019s here already. \u201cHalloween Summer\u201d is the newest track out from Manchester England based band, Neil Jarvis, and is the title track off their upcoming album by the same name, out this May via On the Grind.\nNow, with only 139 likes on Facebook at the time of this writing, it\u2019s most likely you don\u2019t know who Neil Jarvis is. Neil Jarvis, William Woodhouse-Banks, Mark Stevenson, and Stuart Glover make up the band Neil Jarvis (as opposed to the man, I think only Neil makes that up). They are a new band, first album only came out 2 years ago, but this \u201cyouth of band\u201d does not detract from their talent at all. Their music is a blend of surf rock and psychedelia usually referred to as hypnagogic rock. Here\u2019s an example: their song \u201cFigure it Out\u201d from their debut album Weekends.\nHalloween Summer will be the band\u2019s second album, who draw influences from bands such as Real Estate, Pavement, Silver Jews and others. Last week I briefly talked with Jarvis about the album and the band in general, and you can read his response below as well as another great track off his debut album. Jarvis and his band are definitely some guys to keep on you radar. They\u2019re doing some really awesome stuff and aren\u2019t slowing down anytime soon. Don\u2019t forget to look for Halloween Summer this May!\nNeil Jarvis on influences, Halloween Summer, and the band:\n\u201cMy main inspiration is bands like Neil Young, Pavement, The Feelies, Real Estate,Sun Araw. We played a gig last year with Bob Nastanovich from Pavement who joined us on stage for a song \u2013 (we asked him if he would), and that was highlight, I\u2019m a big fan of Pavement and Silver Jews, and they are big influences\u2026\n\u2026This album is much more the sound of a band playing together, unlike the first album \u2018Weekends\u2019 which was myself getting my friends in to play on songs. I got a permanent band together last year and it\u2019s definitely added something extra to it. There\u2019s more conventional pop songs on this album and less of the ambient experimental stuff, but it still has some [experimentation] in the sound.\u201d\nArtist SpotlightNeil JarvisSurf Rock",

        "raw_content": "RBNZ governor says markets finally getting the hint on low rates\nBy Charlotte Greenfield and Jane Wardell\nWELLINGTON (Reuters) - New Zealand's central bank chief said financial markets are finally getting the message that rates will remain low for some time and noted the local currency's fall following a dovish policy statement this week was a \"good thing\" for the economy.\nThe Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept rates at a record low of 1.75 percent on Thursday, as expected, but a change in the language of the policy statement accompanying the decision sent the New Zealand dollar to a six-month low of $0.6900.\nIt stood a touch higher at $0.6966 on Friday afternoon.\nRBNZ Governor Adrian Orr told Reuters in an interview on Friday that a fall in the New Zealand dollar, after he explicitly noted that an easing was as likely to be the next move in rates as a tightening, was a \"good thing for a trading nation.\"\nOrr also said the market's reaction indicated that it \"seemed finally to listen\" to the central bank's message that rates would stay low for a considerable period of time.\n\"What I've been surprised with is for the last few years the Reserve Bank has copped criticism saying 'you've been undershooting your inflation target',\" Orr said in a telephone interview.\n\"Yet pricing at the time in the market itself has been for a rate rise and it's been the Reserve Bank that's been very consistent.\"\nThe central bank trimmed its inflation forecasts slightly to hit the 2 percent mid-point of its target band by the fourth quarter of 2020, a quarter later than previously projected.\nAt a press conference on Thursday, Orr declined to comment on whether the currency should fall further.\nThe 55-year-old central bank governor, who took the helm in March, said he doesn't \"do emotions\" and couldn't say if he was \"happy\" about the local currency's decline on the day.\nOrr gave a generally upbeat assessment of the domestic economy but, a week out from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's first national budget, said he supported an increase in spending flagged by the Labour-led government.\nThat spending commitment means the government will trim government debt at a slower rate than the previous center-right National government - to 20 percent of GDP by 2022, compared with the previous administration's goal of 10-15 percent by 2025.\n\"My single, biggest hope is that government investment does happen, because there is a very positive environment here,\" Orr. \"New Zealand is creaking at the seams in some places, so investment has to happen. Why not do it at a time with low global interest rates?\"\nOrr has engaged in a local media blitz since becoming governor, giving interviews to several regional publications, following an RBNZ-commissioned survey that found the vast majority of the general public had no idea who he was or what the central bank was.\nHis decision to include a monetary statement \"in pictures\" in Thursday's announcement, including a hot air balloon tagged \"inflation\" lifting a crate of \"imports\" - made international headlines.\nOrr said the bank was still working through the logistics of the agreed move to a full committee decision making process, which will bring the RBNZ into line with other central banks like the Reserve Bank of Australia and Bank of England next year.\nUnder the current process, the governor makes a decision and presents it to the committee for feedback. Going forward, that will be reversed with the committee voting on the decision and the governor having the power to decide if the committee is split.\nOrr said changes being considered included potentially shifting the board meeting to the day of the announcement - from the day before currently - to allow for any international shocks overnight.\nIn line with his transparency push, he's keen for the vote to be held by an open show of hands, rather than a secret ballot, and wants the full decision process to be available at the same time as the decision.\n\"My current preference is everything arrives at the same time: here's the decision, here\u2019s the statement and here\u2019s the minutes,\" he said.\n(Reporting By Charlotte Greenfield and Jane Wardell; Editing by Sam Holmes)",

        "raw_content": "New Nav Pages and Other Site Changes\nI just wanted to take a moment to point out a few minor tweaks I've made to the blog layout. If you've visited any time in the last few days you may have noticed some of the changes already.\nFirst up is the new banner image at the top of every page. The original banner was something I made way before realizing that this blog would be entirely video game related; the new banner is a little bigger and more colorful, plus it pops a bit better, and has some video game imagery built right into it to allow newcomers to more quickly realize that the blog centers mostly around video games. I don't play a lot of retro 8-bit games, so that part may be a little misleading, but I liked the contrast that those images provided against the nebulous background.\nNext up are the new main pages on the top navigation bar. The \"About the Rambler\" page is a more thorough biography, of sorts, going into a bit more detail about my history and background as a gamer, with a brief description of what I do when I'm not playing video games, and also explaining my thoughts on the blog itself. The \"List of Games Played\" page is a full list of virtually every game I've played, in chronological order, since October 30th, 2006. The entire posting history of this blog is contained in that list, but it goes back several years before I started doing reviews here. It's literally just a list, but I thought it would be fun to share, so you could see a little bit more info on what games I've played in the past.\nFinally, this change is much less significant, but I changed the \"Random Posts\" widget in the side bar to show a preview of the article text, and reduced the number of displayed posts in the side bar from five down to four. I also tweaked the overall dimensions of the blog, making each of the side bars 20 pixels wider to allow for a slightly longer line of text before hitting a line break. This, to me, just looks more pleasing to the eye, since it prevents a single long word from dominating an entire line of space and forcing a tag (on the left) or a headline (on the right) from being displayed one word at a time down a long column.\nNone of these changes are very significant, of course -- I'm sure some people may not have even noticed -- but I wanted to point them out all the same (especially those two pages in the nav bar) since they kind of blend in with the basic layout. There's still one more change I want to make that I haven't done yet; I'll be detailing that in a separate post in a day or two, once it's ready to launch.\nGothic 3 Sucks -- A Critique From a Longtime Gothi...\nResident Evil 7 DLC Review: \"Not A Hero\" and \"End ...",

        "raw_content": "A \"fucking moron\" sits in the Oval Office according to his own selected Secretary of State\nThere is no question Donald Trump is a moron.\nAt some point we need to be united in answering this question.\nThe Democrats are content to let Trump continue on thinking his follies will result in Democratic Party victories at the polls but this doesn't do us or the world much good as Trump destroys everything.\nDonald Trump's chosen Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, called Trump a \"fucking moron\" because Trump wants to use military mite and wars to accomplish what Tillerson believes can be accomplished through a perverted form of imperialist \"diplomacy.\"\nNotice in criticizing the Republican budget recommendations the Democrats say not one word about the increase in the budget for militarism and wars they voted along with Republicans for...\n\u201cWith a razor-thin 219-206 margin, House Republicans have passed their FY2018 budget, a $4.2 trillion spending and cuts measure that sets up their tax cut bill to progress through the Senate without being subject to a filibuster, provided they come up with a tax cut bill. This is a non-binding resolution that would set spending\u2014and slashing\u2014priorities for the Congress. Those priorities are a big problem, not just for Democrats but for the health of the nation.\nThe bill not only instructs congress to do massive tax cuts for the rich through the budget reconciliation process, it instructs lawmakers to reduce Medicaid spending by $1 trillion and Medicare by $473 billion. That's along with the $37 billion in cuts for affordable housing, $100 billion for Pell Grants, cutting Head Start by $3 billion, and essentially gutting the WIC program that provides food assistance to 1.25 million women, infants, and children.\nThat's so they can get $1.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich.\u201d\nWhen it comes to squandering our Nation\u2019s wealth on militarism and wars the Democrats and Republicans find common ground.\nThe Democrats had the chance to tax the hell out of the rich and they took no action because the Democrats and Republicans, in spite of rhetoric to the contrary of both- the Republican claim of helping ease the tax burden on the middle class and the Democrats claiming they are for taxing the rich, both Democrats and Republicans come together in shoving austerity measures down the throats of working people to pay for militarism and wars... this is the bottom line.\nProsperity for ALL is only achievable by ending militarism and wars. Militarism and these never-ending dirty imperialist wars are making us all poor.\nIt is dishonest of the Democrats to deride the Republican budget when they vote with the Republicans for increased military spending and to fund these dirty wars... or, is it the other way around; the Republicans vote with the Democrats to increase funding for militarism and wars... either way, the Wall Street merchants of death and destruction get rich. Working people pay through the nose in every conceivable way while people all over the world continue to die in these dirty wars... many of which our great free media doesn\u2019t even tell us are going on like in Niger where we hear because four Green Berets are dead but we never hear about the civilian death toll.\nWe have a \u201cfucking moron\u201d for president and a Wall Street corrupted Congress.\nTrump said he was going to drain the swamp and instead of draining the swamp Trump turned the swamp into a stinking cesspool contaminated with racism and anti-Communism.\nThe Democrats refuse to stop Trump choosing instead to give him free reign for political expediency thinking all of his blundering follies will give them a political victory at the polls when this kind of approach to politics only results in people staying home on Election Day.\nBecause working people don\u2019t have our own political party we have no choice but to try to push the Democrats to do what is right... Take up impeachment and prosecution of Trump and his crooked and corrupt cronies consisting of his Cabinet.\nThis will take moving millions of people into the streets.\nOnly complete morons believe it is possible to fund militarism and wars and have a \"Great Society.\"\nHow do we get rid of a moron occupying the Oval Office who is pushing us towards World War Three and nuclear annihilation when all we have is an \"opposition\" party seeking political opportunity at our expense?\nMilitarism and wars corrupt the political process as Wall Street uses some of its ill begotten wealth derived from militarism and wars to further bribe and corrupt Democrats and Republicans.\nWe need to build a new working class based people's party that is anti-monopoly and anti-imperialist which understands prosperity for all will only be derived from ending spending on militarism and these dirty imperialist wars which isn't afraid to declare its intent to challenge Wall Street for political and economic power.\nWe need a new political party which isn't shy about declaring itself for a National Public Health Care System--- socialized health care.\nFor what we are spending on militarism and these dirty wars we could have a National Public Health Care System instead...\nNothing any more controversial than public education...\nAnd everyone would be fully covered from pre-natal through burial...\nAnd the right to abortion.\nAll medications included.\nNo premiums.\nNo deductibles.\nNo co-pays.\nInstead of foreign U.S. military bases dotting the globe protecting Wall Street's interests we could have a network of public community and neighborhood health care centers delivering free world-class health care to everyone living in this country.\nA National Public Health Care System would create over twelve-million living wage jobs.\nIn addition, for all those Democrats and Republicans who claim to be so interested in controlling health care costs, there is no less expensive, more affordable and cost-effective way to provide the American people with health care.\nWe can not expect these politicians bribed by Wall Street's Military-Industrial Complex to stand in opposition to capitalist market-driven, for-profit health care any more than we can expect them to stand in opposition to militarism and these never-ending unconstitutional, illegal, dirty imperialist wars.\nThis moron in the White House who finds friends among the KKK and the Nazis is going goose-stepping backwards in the footprints of Joe McCarthy as he tramples the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights as he \"leads\" us into World War Three and a from global warming into a nuclear winter.\nKey to achieving an economy that works for all which provides prosperity for all is ending Wall Street's militarism and its dirty imperialist wars. The time has come to take up the struggle to beat swords into plowshares and make the United Nation's Universal Declaration of Human Rights a reality for all people everywhere.\nWe need a new working class party that is both anti-monopoly and anti-imperialist with peace at the very top of its agenda unafraid to declare it is challenging Wall Street for political and economic power.\nWe nee a broad-based people's united front to impeach Trump, defend our Constitution and Bill of Rights while fighting for reforms in the streets and at the ballot box.\nEducation. Organization. Unity in Action is the only way we will win against our common powerful Wall Street enemy.\nA \"fucking moron\" sits in the Oval Office accordin...",

        "raw_content": "A TOUR OF THE 2ND FLOOR\nI\u2019m never really a big fan of Mondays, as you may have gathered by now, but a Monday after the holidays might be especially rough. In order to ease the pain a bit, I figured I would pick up where we left off and finish giving you a look at our house in its current state & our plans for 2015. As promised, I\u2019m back today with a tour of the 2nd floor (which I don\u2019t believe I\u2019ve ever shown you before) and a look at what has been going on upstairs and what is still to come.\nWhen we bought the house, the carpeting continued all the way upstairs. We ripped it all out right away and exposed the perfectly preserved hardwoods underneath. That along with painting all of the trim and giving the walls a fresh coat of paint helped immensely in brightening this little area up.\nAs you get to the top of the stairs and turn left, you\u2019ll see my step-son\u2019s room and what we are currently using as my office (more on those later.)\nBut overall, things are looking a whole lot better then they did here\u2026\nTo the right, you see the linen closet, full bathroom, and the master bedroom.\nI\u2019m in the process of hanging some artwork around the landing area, which explains the strangely low hung canvas and extra stuff leaning against the wall but I\u2019m still sorting out those details.\nWe painted all of the doors, replaced the old doorknobs with nice new black ones for some contrast against the newly white doors and cleaned up all of the old brass hardware to maintain some of the original charm.\nHere\u2019s a similar view from before we got our hands on it\u2026\nPlans for 2015: There\u2019s not a whole lot more to do on the upstairs landing aside from hanging some artwork, finish painting the walls & ceiling, and replace the old light fixture.\nNext up is the Master bedroom. We\u2019re continuing on the theme of already having updated the basics (like painting walls, trim, and light fixture) but still needed a lot in the design department.\nI\u2019m still figuring out a few things, like our nightstands (we\u2019re just using some filler ones for now), bedding, artwork, and all of that other pretty stuff.\nYou mike recognize that dresser from a project I did at our old house :)\nIt\u2019s still a work in progress but it\u2019s loads better than what is was before we bought the house\u2026\nAm I right or am I right? This room, in particular, is one that still has be saying \u201cI can\u2019t believe how different this room looks\u2026\u201d\nPlans for 2015: A lot of the basics are done in here so far but I still need to do a lot of decorating. I\u2019m on the hunt for some artwork and other decorative elements. I need to find new nightstands, (I\u2019m thinking something reclaimed or vintage) with some additional storage. Lastly, I\u2019m anxious to make a tufted headboard inspire by Jenny Komenda over at Little Green Notebook.\nNext, we have the bathroom. This one needs a lot of work, so I\u2019ll make this quick. We have plans for a full renovation at some point but until then, not much is going on in here.\nI do find the vintage tile charming, and that\u2019s not necessarily what has me itching for an upgrade, but the overall space (albeit tiny) could work a whole lot better with a few tweaks.\nFor now, it works just fine and it\u2019s feeling a lot cleaner and brighter than it did when we first moved in\u2026\nPlans for 2015: While a bathroom renovation is definitely in our future, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to be happening this year. In the meantime, I\u2019d like to refresh the space with some new accessories, replace the old medicine cabinet with a larger mirror that makes this tiny room feel a bit bigger and add some additional storage. Other than that, no big plans here for 2015.\nNext up is my office. It\u2019s a tiny little room at the top of the stairs but gets some great light and is a perfect spot for me to work on my design classwork and other projects.\nWe removed the doors, since it doesn\u2019t really need to be a private area right now, and it helps to open up the upstairs landing a bit, making the overall space feel bigger and brighter.\nIt\u2019s really just a mix up miscellaneous furniture right now but it\u2019s a perfect space so put my drafting table, project supplies, and other storage for the time being\u2026although it has become a bit of a dumping zone for odds and ends right now. For now it\u2019s nothing special, design-wise, but it functions well for what I need it for.\nPlans for 2015: I don\u2019t have any big plans for this space as of right now. I\u2019d like to spruce things up a bit with some artwork, maybe figure something out for additional storage, and replace the ceiling fan with something a little bit prettier.\nLastly, we have my step-son\u2019s room. Right now we\u2019re in the process of choosing a paint color (as you can see). He has requested blue so I\u2019m still trying to finalize the color and figure out a game plan in here.\nHe is one seriously fun and creative kid so I just want to keep things feeling really playful and all \u201cboy\u201d in here.\nAlthough all of the Christmas has been removed from the rest of the house, I\u2019m having a hard some parting with this little cutie in the corner.\nPlans for 2015: Up next on the agenda in here is to finalize a paint color and finish painting. That, along with a few other accessories and storage solutions, will have this room pretty close to done.\nWell, there you have it! Now you have a good idea of the whole layout of the house, where things stand, and what is left to be done. Now I guess I had better get going\u2026 looks like there\u2019s a lot to be done in 2015!\nA CURRENT HOUSE TOUR & PLANS FOR 2015\nHappy 2015 people! I hope your holiday and New Years celebrations were great and that you got to spend some time relaxing with friends and family (although I realize that those two things don\u2019t always go hand in hand\u2026) As for me, I turned my computer off a week ago and didn\u2019t even touch it until now\u2026and, let me tell you, it was Will Ferrell level glorious :) It\u2019s amazing what a little recharge/refresh can do for you\u2026 and just in time for the new year.\nWith these well rested hands and set of fresh eyes, I\u2019m excited to get back on track with work around the house so I thought I\u2019d start 2015 off with an unedited look of exactly where our house stands right now (post holiday chaos & mid projects) and a list of our game plan for the coming year. We are hiring a perth builder to help remodel our home. I planned on taking you around the entire house but the pictures were adding up and things were starting to get a little bit wordy, so I figured I\u2019d split it up into two parts and start with a current house tour of the 1st floor (including a couple spots you may not have seen yet) and give you a peak at exactly how things are shaping up downstairs along with some goals for the coming year. This is a big one, folks\u2026\nWarning: Not all of this is going to be pretty :)\nIt seems fitting to kick things off at the front door. Since the stairs are the first thing you see when you walk into the house, I wanted to brighten things up a bit and make the entry feel a bit more cheery. I think we\u2019re on our way to that, considering this is where we started out\u2026\nA little better? I think, yes.\nGoals for the 2015: As far as the entry goes, there\u2019s not a whole lot left to be done. I\u2019d like to call Orlando painter, who can paint the exterior of the door and hang some art along the stairway but other than that, no huge plans for this area. P.S. That might be the only time I\u2019ll ever get to say that this year\u2026\nWe also tackled the inside of the front door and our tiny little entry by ripping out the old linoleum tile, painting the walls, trim and front door, and adding a little doormat.\nWe still have some work to do here but things are definitely improving. Do you remember what it used to look like?\nGoals for 2015: We still have to deal with the weird doorbell situation that you see in the \u201cbefore\u201d picture. I haven\u2019t made up my mind on what we\u2019re going to do there yet. This year, I\u2019d like to figure out a little bit of front door organization, hang some artwork, and make the overall entry feel even more inviting. Nothing too major.\nAs you walk in the front door, the dining room is to your left.\nNot a whole lot has changed in here since you\u2019ve seen it last except for what might be my favorite change in the whole house :)\nRemember that silly little bookcase in the back corner? It used to be an exterior window that, years ago, was turned into a shelf when the former porch was enclosed. Truthfully, I always hated it. I painted it and styled it to make it look okay in the meantime but it was really one of those lipstick on a pig situations.\nIn order to create even more of an open layout and really merge the dining room and living room, we decided to knock it out and create a 2nd doorway. It has done wonders in the overall circulation of the space and feels so much better\u2026 not to mention how much more natural light we get in the dining room.\nI love the symmetry it creates on the fireplace wall and it eliminated the awkward space over in that corner. We still have to address the absurdly huge return vent on the floor (we\u2019ve honestly never seen such an unnecessarily large return in our lives\u2026it\u2019s a little crazy) but more on that later :)\nAnother one of our best moves during the renovations so far was converting this once formal living room into our dining room during the great floorplan swap of 2014. Here\u2019s a reminder of what is used to look like in here\u2026\nPlans for 2015: The dining room has, by far, made the most headway in the completion department so far, but there\u2019s still a lot to be done. This year, we hope to add a ceiling fixture (show of hands, how many of you never noticed we\u2019re lacking a fixture over the dining table!?) finish and frame the new doorways leading into the living room, build the steps leading into said sunken living room, hang artwork, style mantel and finish all final decor details.\nIt\u2019s no secret that the biggest changes to date have happened in our living/family room. Ripping out old paneling, raising the ceiling, installing recessed lighting, putting up new walls, and priming the windows are just a few of the changes that have happened so far, and while there\u2019s still a whole lot more to be done in there, here\u2019s a peak at how it\u2019s looking right now.\nThere\u2019s still so much to do in here (obviously) but it truly feels like a completely different room. Right now it\u2019s just a mishmash of different furniture and we have big plans for the future but still, it\u2019s hard to even remember it looking like this\u2026\nRead more about our living room progress here, here, here, here, and here.\nPlans for 2015: Although we\u2019ve made a lot of progress, there\u2019s still A LOT to be done in here including; finish painting brick, rip out old carpeting, add new flooring (we\u2019re still deciding on what flooring will be going in here), paint windows, add trim to windows, new furniture & furnishings (area rug, sofa, additional seating, side tables, TV stand etc.), hang artwork, and window treatments, plus a whole lot of other things I\u2019m sure I\u2019m forgetting. Slow and steady\u2026\nAround the other side of the living room and back through the dining room, you can see into our kitchen, a spot you haven\u2019t seen up until now. *Dun dun dun\u2026*\nIf you remember, that used to be a closet. When we decided to take control of our floorplan, we ripped out the closet in order to open the kitchen up to the new dining room. In the process, we discovered some unexpected ductwork and plumbing but we have plans to move some of that around, possibly even adding a tiny half bath or pantry (depending on the reconfiguration and layout) and open things up completely.\nSee? I told you it wouldn\u2019t all be pretty ;)\nPlans for 2015: This year we need to move ductwork, move plumbing wall, add possible powder room or pantry(?), finish flooring, add lighting, and really just make it not look like a torture room from Saw I-VI.\nWe haven\u2019t done a single thing to the kitchen since we moved it. It\u2019s just a small galley kitchen but it functions well for now.\nAs of now, we plan on letting the kitchen go until we make some more progress on the rest of the house. Eventually, we have plans for the cabinets, installing now floors and countertops and giving her a big ol\u2019 face lift but more now this little lady is going to have to wait. A bigger kitchen overhaul may be in store at some point but that\u2019s waaaay down the road so we plan on making some cosmetic upgrades until then.\nPlans for 2015: While it might be last on our list of things to do in the new year, in here we would like to put in new flooring, new countertops & backsplash, paint cabinetry, and replace the light fixture.\nFinally, through the back of the kitchen, we have the former dining room turned Joe\u2019s home office. Not much has happened in here since you last saw it (actually, it may have only gotten messier. Oops!) But, as promised, here you go\u2026\nRemember how it used to look?\nPlans for 2015: I think one of our first purchases of the year may be a new light fixture. That ugly ceiling fan has assaulted my eyeballs for far too long. Other than that, we need to do a whole lot of decorating in here. No major changes are in store but I really need to cozy it up for Joe a bit with some additional furniture, window treatments, artwork, area rug, etc.\nSo, there you have it. If you walked into our house right now, this is what you would get. A lot has happened over the last 4 1/2 months of home ownership and, as you can see, there\u2019s even more change ahead of us in 2015. Here\u2019s hoping that at this time next year, I\u2019ll be checking off all of the items listed above. Well, a girl can dream, right?!\nStay tuned for part 2 and a look at what\u2019s going on upstairs later on this week!",

        "title": "The Monday Profile: Kallum Higginbotham | The Two Unfortunates",
        "raw_content": "The Monday Profile: Kallum Higginbotham\nPosted by The Two Unfortunates\ton Apr 16, 2012\tin The Monday Profile\t| No Comments\nImage available under Creative Commons \u00a9 jo-h\nFor our profile this week, we welcome back Craig Telfer, author of a deservedly well received post recently identifying those players in Scotland who might attract the attention of NPower League Clubs in the coming months. Craig runs his own blog dedicated to Stenhousemuir FC, Who the hell is Akabusi? and here turns his attention to a former SFL man already plying his trade south of Hadrian\u2019s Wall, but finding opportunities difficult to come by.\nThese are uncertain times for Huddersfield Town\u2019s new forward Kallum Higginbotham. Once one of the most coveted players in Scottish football, the 22-year-old has found himself on the fringes of the first team of his new club and out of favour with his new manager.\nBefore joining the Terriers in January, the Salford-born forward was one of Falkirk\u2019s most celebrated players \u2014 it was little surprise to see the player joining one of League 1\u2019s most upwardly-mobile clubs; it was something of a shock, however, to see Higginbotham reduced to an afterthought.\nHigginbotham began his career at Rochdale, making over 70 appearances for the club in three seasons. During his tenure at Spotland \u2014 punctuated by two loan spells with Accrington Stanley \u2014 the player operated as a winger and was a regular presence in the side. His magnificent volley from the halfway line against Accrington in a 4-2 victory won Rochdale\u2019s Goal of the Year.\nIn the summer of 2010, Higginbotham chose to join Falkirk FC after his contract with Rochdale expired. The Bairns, recently relegated from the SPL, were forced to fill their squad with inexpensive youngsters and with his spiky hair and his arms adorned in tattoos, Higginbotham was one of their most eye-catching players. His pace and unpredictability won him many accolades amongst supporters and although he was an infrequent goalscorer, he played an important figure as the club finished in third place.\nWith a number of players departing the Falkirk Stadium in 2011, Steven Pressley reconfigured Higginbotham from a wide-player into a second striker. Playing off the hulking Moroccan attacker Farid El-Alagui, Higginbotham thrived in his new role. His craft and guile was able to open up stuffy defences and he dovetailed with his new strike partner with aplomb. Although his passing could be a little wayward and he was sometimes culpable of hanging onto the ball for longer than necessary, he was central to Falkirk\u2019s success in the first half of the season. Excellent performances against Rangers and Dundee United drew both Falkirk and Higginbotham acclaim.\nThe forward became a national concern following Falkirk\u2019s League Cup semi-final clash against Celtic, broadcast live by the BBC. Despite his side ultimately losing 3-1, he assisted Jay Fulton\u2019s equaliser and his Man of the Match performance caught the attention of a host of clubs including Rangers, Ipswich, Crystal Palace and Huddersfield.\nThe forward opted to join Lee Clark\u2019s Terriers on the final day of the transfer window alongside defender Murray Wallace (Wallace immediately rejoined Falkirk on-loan for the remainder of the season). Huddersfield\u2019s previous dealings with Falkirk had been relatively successful \u2014 Clark had signed Scott Arfield in 2010 \u2014 and it was widely considered by spectators, both north and south of the border, that the West Yorkshire side had acquired another prodigious player.\nSpeaking to The Daily Record days after the transfer, Higginbotham said: \u2018I heard rumours about the Old Firm but I\u2019d still have gone to Huddersfield because I will have the chance of playing regularly there.\u2019 In hindsight, his optimism seemed entirely misplaced. Under Clark, the forward made a solitary appearance in a 1-1 home draw against MK Dons, where his fine cross set up Jamie McCombe to score the game\u2019s opening goal.\nFollowing Lee Clark\u2019s surprising dismissal in mid-February (surprising to the majority of neutral spectators, that is), Higginbotham was isolated under new manager Simon Grayson and his opportunities were further limited. Other than a 15 minute substitute appearance in a 2-2 draw at Stevenage, the player became a peripheral figure and it came of little surprise when he was given permission to join Barnsley on-loan for the remainder of the season.\n\u2018With the squad numbers we have, it is inevitable some players don\u2019t make the starting line-up or the bench,\u2019 Grayson told Huddersfield\u2019s website of Higginbotham\u2019s loan. \u2018That does not mean they are out of favour, but players want to play. It\u2019s not ideal when you are new to a club and want to see what everyone can do.\u2019\nGrayson also claimed he was over-subscribed with strikers (\u2018We are well stocked for strikers at the Club with the likes of Jordan Rhodes, Lee Novak, Alan Lee and Danny Cadamarteri\u2019), but it seemed as though it was a tacit admission he didn\u2019t rate Higginbotham and didn\u2019t really need him.\nSince joining Barnsley, Higginbotham has made three unremarkable appearances and has yet to feature as part of a winning side. With the Tykes performing poorly and hovering above the cusp of the Championship\u2019s relegation places, a player with Higginbotham\u2019s qualities \u2014 craft and elusiveness, not industry or tenacity \u2014 is perhaps unsuited to the rough and tumble of a relegation battle and seems more like the type of player to grace games rather than grab them.\nWhat happens beyond the summer will be interesting. Kallum Higginbotham is certainly a capable player with the skill and ability to succeed in League 1 \u2014 it is uncertain, however, if it will be with Simon Grayson\u2019s Huddersfield.\nYou can follow Craig on Twitter at @craiggtelfer",

It was commissioned by the Data Protection Unit, Department of the Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) and is the first publication by the new Government Data Forum, a panel of experts drawn from across industry, civil society, academia and the public sector. There was some media coverage on the Six One news on RTE1, KFM, the Irish Times, Silicon Republic and Irish Tech News. I've tried to be as comprehensive as possible in the analysis and to detail lots of examples of good and bad practice, as well as set out a suite of solutions to improve data privacy and security. Take a glance if you want to see how much data are being generated about you and what happens to it.\nReview of Dregs by Jorn Lier Horst\nNew report: Getting smarter about smart cities: Improving data privacy and data security\nReview of The Ghost Runner by Parker Bilal\nReview of Peepshow by Leigh Redhead\nA singular venture?\n\u2018What\u2019s his story?\u2019 Joyner asked.\nThe man was sitting on a veranda, a gun resting in his lap, his gaze a thousand yard stare.\n\u2018He was meant to take a bullet for the President. Instead he leapt for cover. They buried another agent three days later.\u2019\n\u2018He looks like a powder keg waiting to go off; go on a spree or blow his own brains.\u2019\n\u2018He couldn\u2019t take a bullet for the President; he can\u2019t take one now. He\u2019s alive but he can\u2019t live with himself. Spends all day trying to solve that conundrum. I figure it\u2019s a singular venture.\u2019\nReview of Dregs by Jorn Lier Horst (Sandstone, 2011; Norwegian 2010)\nMidsummer in Stavern, Norway, and a severed left foot wearing a running shoe is washed up on the shore. Shortly afterwards another severed left foot is discovered. Chief Inspector William Wisting is placed in charge of the case. His team quickly make a connection between the feet and four elderly people that disappeared months ago, but cannot identify a reason for their disappearance or why their feet are now suddenly appearing. Wisting\u2019s boss has applied for promotion and wants a quick result and plenty of media coverage. In contrast the detective wants a careful examination and surety, but with the pressure rising he tries to quickly discover clues that will reveal why the victims were killed and the identity of the killer.\nDregs is a straightforward police procedural that is very much in the Scandinavian style \u2013 a relatively dour detective, an understated narrative with close attention to detail, and realist in its depiction of police work and society. The plot works at the level of carefully revealing the solving of a puzzle rather than being driven by action and tension. Dregs starts at a relatively sedate pace, slowing moving pieces into place, and it\u2019s only as the telling progresses that the extent of the puzzle and intricacies of the plot is revealed. The result is an intriguing tale, with a nice denouement and explanation concerning the discovery of four severed feet that sit at the heart of the story. There is also a strong sub-plot in which the main detective\u2019s journalist daughter is writing a feature about six people who have been released from prison after serving a sentence for murder, which sets out some interesting questions about justifiable homicide and regimes of punishment.\nLabels: Dregs, Jorn Lier Horst, Norway, Review\nReview of The Ghost Runner by Parker Bilal (2014, Bloomsbury)\nIt is 2002 and the effects of 9/11 are being felt across the Middle East as the global war of terror unfolds. Musab, a former low ranking jihadist and political exile, is lifted from a street in Denmark and renditioned back to Egypt. After a few months he escapes and disappears. Makana, a former detective inspector in Sudan and now private investigator in Cairo, has been hired by a suspicious wife to track her husband. The only woman the lawyer visits is a young girl in a private clinic that dies shortly after. It turns out that the girl is Musab\u2019s daughter, apparently burned to death in an honour killing. An old family friend, the lawyer had been helping her and he now asks Makana to track down Musab. The trail leads to Siwa, a small, isolated desert town from which Musab had fled many years earlier. Makana arrives shortly after the death of a local magistrate and is enrolled to help in the investigation by the local police sergeant. The town is full of dark secrets, but finding answers and justice proves difficult when no-one wants to discuss the past and its role in the terror stalking its streets.\nThe Ghost Runner is the third instalment of the Makana series set in Egypt. In this outing Makana investigates the murder of a young girl, suspecting her former terrorist father of committing an honour killing. Travelling to a small town in the desert he tries to piece together the family history and pick up the trail of the father. His arrival coincides with a series of deaths and it is clear that the legacy of an event many years earlier is unfolding. The Makana series has a number of appealing strengths that are once again evident in The Ghost Runner, such as its atmospheric sense of place, its contextualisation within Eygpt\u2019s politics and history, and its well-drawn characters. In particular, Makana is a detective worth spending time with \u2013 a clever, taciturn man haunted by the loss of his family in his flight from Sudan who is quietly patient and persistent. As with the first two books, the tale extends well beyond a straight forward murder investigation, with Parker embedding the story within a wider narrative of local, national and international politics, and exploring themes of family, gender, honour, corruption and terrorism. As such, there\u2019s an awful lot going on, though it never feels rushed or confused, and indeed the tale sagged a little bit in the middle as Makana makes little progress, before picking up in the last third as the tension and body count rises. It\u2019s fair to say that there were quite a few plot devices used to make the whole thing hang together and the two denouements were somewhat contrived. Nonetheless The Ghost Runner is an absorbing read.\nLabels: Egypt, Parker Bilal, Review, The Ghost Runner\nReview of Peepshow by Leigh Redhead (Allen and Unwin, 2004)\nSimone Kirsch always wanted to join the police force. The police, however, do not want her given her time working in peepshows and as a stripper. Undaunted she\u2019s taken an evening class as a private investigator and gained her license. With her first case she\u2019s dropped in at the deep end, investigating the murder of Frank Parisi, the notorious owner of The Red Room, one of Melbourne\u2019s premier strip clubs. To provide added motivation, Frank\u2019s older brother has kidnapped her friend Chloe, demanding a result within two weeks or he\u2019ll end her life. Looking for fast answers Simone heads undercover in The Red Room trying to find clues while baring all. She\u2019s soon on the trail of a corrupt policeman, is being pursued by another, has fallen in lust with a rockabilly guitarist, and trails round Melbourne\u2019s sex industry, usually with a hangover. With the clock ticking down, Simone seems out of her depth, but she\u2019s determined to try and shed her water wings and to find the killer and save her friend.\nIn the late 90s/early 00s I read a whole bunch of tart noir tales involving sassy, smart female PIs who usually got themselves involved in dangerous, madcap adventures with a side-line in romantic/lustful romps. Peepshow fits neatly into the sub-genre, but with sex/sexy dial turned up to eleven. Leigh Redhead provides a vivid glimpse in the peepshow and stripping side of the sex industry, and leaves little to the imagination with respect to the sex life of her lead character, Simone Kirsch, a stripper turned private investigator. Simone\u2019s task is to find the killer of a strip club owner under threat that her friend, Chloe, will die if she fails. Given that the police have failed to turn up any clues it\u2019s a tall order. Thrown into the mix is a colourful set of strippers, a corrupt cop, a rockabilly band, two suitors \u2013 a guitarist and an undercover cop \u2013 and a lot of champagne and drugs. The result is quickly paced romp laced with plenty of humour. There\u2019re not too many surprises in the telling, but the story is good explicit fun and sets up the series well. Simone Kirsch is certainly breaks the usual PI mould and I\u2019m looking forward to her next case.\nLabels: 2004, Australia, Leigh Redhead, Peepshow, Review\nI've already posted about my 2015 reads, but another way of glancing through my reviews can be found at Goodreads, which also provides a few stats. Apparently the 99 books I read totaled 29,801 pages.\nReview of Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto\nReview of Parade by Shuichi Yoshida\nReview of 7Days by Deon Meyer\nIf we find her alive, I'll kill her myself\nIf we find her alive, I\u2019ll kill her myself\nThe door banged open. \u2018She\u2019s gone!\u2019\n\u2018Who?\u2019 Bobowski asked looking up from a ball game.\n\u2018Who do you think?

On the same day as he\u2019s told his lungs are full of tumours he\u2019s asked to go with a colleague to perform a shakedown. Only the set-up feels all wrong. His instinct that he is the potential victim proves true and after a short melee of violence the only two people alive are Roy and a young prostitute. Realising that Raquel (Rocky) will receive the same treatment as the others if left behind Roy takes her with him, heading for Galveston. On the way they pick up Rocky\u2019s young sister. Hiding in a motel by the sea, Roy knows the best way to survive is to ditch the two girls, but somehow he feels compelled to try and keep them out of harm\u2019s way. However, that\u2019s easier said than done.\nGalveston is a story in the classic noir mould \u2013 a dangerous man, whose life is immersed in violence and crime, seeks redemption trying to save a young woman and small child knowing that he will probably reap the consequences of his actions. Despite the well-worn set-up, Pizzolatto provides an entertaining, edgy read that is lifted by very strong characterisation and engaging prose. The plot revolves around the interaction of Roy Cady, a forty year old bagman who\u2019s just been told his lungs are full of small tumours, and Rocky, a young, na\u00efve prostitute who has little conception of how to make it in the world other than to sell her body. Both have troubled histories and despite being ill-matched nurture an uneasy friendship. A key plus in the telling is that Pizzolatto places a strong emphasis on character development and their personal journeys as much as on the plot and their flight from the New Orleans mob. The result is a thoughtful noir tale that doesn\u2019t pull punches, mixing hope with despair, violence and pathos, and has a nice twist in the denouement.\nLabels: Galveston, Nic Pizzolatto, Review, United States\nReview of Parade by Shuichi Yoshida (Harvill Secker 2014, Japanese 2002)\nTwo young men and two young women share an apartment in Tokyo. Koto barely ventures out into the world, waiting by the phone for her TV star boyfriend to ring. Ryosuke attends a private college and is having an affair with his friend\u2019s girlfriend. Mirai manages a shop and spends her spare time either drawing illustrations or partying all night in gay bars. Naoki works for a film distributor, is a long distance runner, and is frequently drunk. One day Satoru, a homeless youth, turns up and moves in. Nobody is quite sure where he came from or what he does, but he\u2019s soon accepted as part of their world. As they\u2019re lives unfold, they speculate on the strange comings and goings from the apartment next door and the attacks against women in the area.\nParade is somewhat of a curious book. It is marketed as crime fiction, with a tagline of \u2018A masterpiece in tension\u2019, yet crime is almost incidental to the story and there is practically no tension in the story or its telling. Instead, Parade is a literary novel about alienation and estrangement in modern society; of not quite fitting in, of lacking direction and purpose, of desiring what cannot be obtained. While the timeline is linear, each of the chapters is told from the perspective of five people sharing an apartment, each of whom has kind of drifted into living there. Each is told in the first person, with the character reflecting on their own life \u2013 their history and ambitions, their relationships with others \u2013 and setting out their view of the world. In this way, a wider narrative about the interactions and friendship between the five is examined, as well as Japanese society more broadly. It was a sombre rather than tense read, a kind of literary soap opera of urban alienation which, for the most part is a thoughtful reflection on modern life.\nLabels: Japan, Parade, Review, Shuichi Yoshida\nReview of 7Days by Deon Meyer (Hodder, 2012)\nCaptain Benny Griessel is a recovering alcoholic, so is his friend, Alexa. After much persuasion she is making a come-back, reviving her singing career. Benny is to be her rock, helping her regain her confidence. However, their plans are derailed when Benny is called away from her first public outing to deal with a shooting incident. A policeman has been shot and an email sent to SAPS states that unless the killer of Hanneke Sloet is arrested a police officer will be targeted each day. Sloet, a successful and sultry lawyer, had been slain in her apartment a month earlier but the case had quickly gone cold. Griessel is put in charge of re-investigating the Sloet murder, whilst his colleague, Mbali Kaleni is assigned the task of finding the sniper. Along with the political and media pressure, adding to Benny\u2019s woes is trying to keep Alexa from sliding all the way off the wagon and to make sure he doesn\u2019t join her.\nDeon Meyer might well be the best writer of police procedural thrillers at present. His stories have all the good hallmarks of a police procedural \u2013 an interesting lead cop and supporting cast, a strong sense of place, interesting puzzles, and attention to detail \u2013 but they also have the pace and tension of a thriller; the rollercoaster ride of a race against time. And so it is with 7Days. Captain Benny Griessel, a man who trails a litany of personal failures in his wake, is given the task of solving a murder while under immense pressure from a sniper shooting police officers and bosses, politicians and media demanding immediate results. Meyer expertly balances character development, plot and pace, producing a highly engaging and entertaining read that not only delivers an intriguing story but nicely advances the longer narrative of the Griessel books. I was hooked from the first page and picked it up at every opportunity to find out how Benny was getting on at solving the two intertwined cases.\nLabels: 2012, 7Days, Deon Meyer, Review, South Africa\nLast week: meetings, email, repeat ad nauseam.

Like when one drifts into consciousness to find limbs bound and a noose being slid into place. There\u2019re only two responses, struggle or acceptance, but the result is still a long drop to hell. I let my legs collapse under me then thrust up, my shoulder snapping the guy\u2019s mouth shut. Using the tension in the rope I kicked his legs out from under him, then jumped and landed on his neck. His snapped, mine choked, and we shared the moment of the damned.\nReview of Entanglement by Zygmunt Miloszewski (Bitter Lemon Press, 2010; Polish 2007)\nFour patients and their psychotherapist gather in a former church in Warsaw for a weekend of family constellation therapy. The morning after the first night, Henry Talek is found dead having had a skewer jammed through his eye into his brain. State prosecutor Teo Szachi is given the task of investigating the case, quickly surmising that one of the attendees is the murderer rather than it being committed by a disturbed burglar or suicide. The problem is that there is no obvious suspect or motive. Laboriously he sets about his investigation trying to get a sense of the victim, his family, and the other attendees of the therapy. In the meantime, he struggles with his sense that he\u2019s trapped in a low-paying, high-stress, thankless job and rapidly souring marriage, dallying with starting an affair. As he slowly makes progress, it starts to become clear that there is more at stake than solving the death of Talek and there is more threatening his family than a fling with a journalist.\nThis book has been on my to-be-read pile for quite some time and I've made a start on it three or four times, but never made it past the first twenty pages or so. The story and the lead character just never got me hooked enough to continue. This time round I pushed through and by a third of the way in I was intrigued enough to finish the book. That said, I never warmed to the lead character, Teo Szachi, a misogynist state prosecutor who seems to be having his mid-life crisis at thirty five. I also didn\u2019t buy how he stumbled on the background story, nor the intricate way the case was tied together, the use of family constellation therapy, or the denouement. It all seemed so improbable. The background story was however interesting as was the procedural elements relating to workings of state prosecutor\u2019s office, the story did gain pace and tension, and Szachi\u2019s boss and police colleague enlivened things. Overall, an improbable police procedural that has some nice touches.\nLabels: Entanglement, Poland, Review, Zygmunt Miloszewski\nReview of A Small Town in Germany by John Le Carre (1968, Heinemann)\nLeo Harting, second secretary in the British embassy in Bonn, has gone missing and he\u2019s taken forty three top secret files with him. The embassy is already in a flap given tensions with the German civil service and politicians about negotiations in Brussels for British entry to the European Union and British involvement in post-war German affairs. An anti-British rally is scheduled and security and tensions are high. The last thing senior officials need is Alan Turner, a hard-nosed spycatcher who doesn\u2019t care for class-divisions or subtle diplomatic relations. Turner starts uncovering information that nobody seems to want revealed and resistance to his presence grows. As his investigation progresses he senses that this is no ordinary defection, but forces are conspiring to deny him the truth.\nJohn Le Carre is in fine form in A Small Town in Germany, a tale charting the hunt for Leo Harting, a pre-war refugee to Britain who has worked his way up through the ranks of the post-war British army and then inveigled his way into a career in British embassy in Bonn before disappearing with forty three top secret files that could cause serious political ructions if they came to light. Sent to find Harting and the files is Alan Turner, a security officer who is direct, rude, bloody-minded, and working class, who seems to delight in treading on the toes of the senior, upper-class embassy staff. Le Carre uses Harting\u2019s disappearance and Turner\u2019s investigation to examine a whole series of themes including Britain\u2019s role in post-war Germany, European diplomacy and hypocrisy, the workings of the British foreign services and its classed-riddled structure, German post-war politics, and the thorny relationship between truth, justice, political relations and the \u2018greater good\u2019. The characterisation and the interactions between characters are excellent as Turner slowly forces uncomfortable truths into the open. In terms of the telling, the tale has a somewhat ponderous start and sometimes drifted into oblique literary asides, however the overall effect is a thoughtful, layered tale, full of subtle digs and twist and turns that has a very nice denouement - it is a thriller with a small t, a battle of wits rather than a swashbuckling, action-adventure. Overall, a superior spy tale.\nLabels: 1968, A Small Town in Germany, Germany, John Le Carre, Review\nI picked up my first new books of the year from the local bookshop, The Reading Room, yesterday. A nice selection of books. All from authors I've read previously, with the exception of Nic Pizzolatto and Michael O'Higgins. Oddly, the four books by female authors - Jane Casey, Eva Dolan, Claire McGowan and Malla Nunn - I'd ordered hadn't yet turned up, so it's a very masculine pile (for now). Looking forward to reading these in due course. I'm just making a start on Deon Meyer's 7 Days.\nReview of To Steal Her Love by Matti Joensuu\nReview of The Informers by Juan Gabriel V\u00e1squez\nI want to tango\n\u2018It\u2019s about rhythm,\u2019 Sally explained. \u2018It\u2019s like dancing. You have to work together; be going in the same direction at the same time.\u2019\n\u2018You\u2019re saying Greg is a better dancer?\u2019 Tom asked, not hiding his frustration.\n\u2018I\u2019m saying we\u2019re more attuned.

He\u2019s working the understaffed night shift and is constantly tired, he\u2019s managed to get the wrong side of his bosses, a member of the public has put in a conduct complaint, he\u2019s fallen in love with a colleague, and his long-lost, half-senile father has turned up and moved in. To add to his woes he\u2019s been given the task of tracking down a peeping tom who\u2019s also an expert lock pick who lets himself into women\u2019s apartment in the small hours to watch them sleep. Every time he\u2019s been spotted he\u2019s managed to get away, leaving the women unnerved and some wondering whether he was every really there. Tweety is a loner, living somewhere between reality and fantasy. He\u2019s also part of a criminal family. He might be na\u00efve about some aspects of the world, but he knows how to remain elusive. It doesn\u2019t help that the cop in pursuit is constantly distracted and hampered in his task.\nTo Steal Her Love is a police procedural set in Helsinki, though not a mystery in that the reader knows the culprit from the start. Indeed, Joensuu\u2019s narrative is divided into two strands. The first charts the half-real, half-fantasist world of Tweety, a young man obsessed with beautiful women, but who is unable to approach them, instead breaking into their homes in the middle of the night to watch them sleep. When he\u2019s not doing that he\u2019s hiding from his domineering mother, working as a cobbler, or helping his brothers to rob banks. The second strand follows the home life and work of Detective Sergeant Timo Harjunp\u00e4\u00e4 of Helsinki\u2019s violent crimes unit. Harjunp\u00e4\u00e4 is a stoic cop who grinds out results, and is torn between two women. Both strands are very nicely written and interwoven. Joensuu has an eye for characters and how they\u2019re bound together in awkward relationships and conflicts, as well as the institutional politics and personal power games of the police (he was a serving police officer for many years). While the narrative seems to drift along and seems quite sedate, there\u2019s actually an awful lot going on within the strands and subplots (some of which are not resolved). The result is a nicely written, layered tale that tells a compelling and engaging story.\nLabels: 1993, Finland, Matti Joensuu, Review, To Steal Her Love\nI did a fair bit of travel in 2015, both literally and literary. I made physical journeys to England (7), Belgium (2), Germany (2), Scotland, Northern Ireland, Canada, Croatia, Switzerland, Germany, and the United States. Through fiction I travelled to 21 countries:\nThe Peripheral by William Gibson ***** (USA, England)\nThe Girl in Berlin by Elizabeth Wilson *** (England, Germany)\nRoyal Flash by George Fraser Macdonald ***.5 (England, Germany)\nThe Lady from Zagreb by Philip Kerr **** (Germany, Yugoslavia, Switzerland)\nRunaway by Peter May ***.5 (Scotland, England)The General Danced at Dawn by George Macdonald Fraser *** (India, Eygpt, Palenstine, Scotland)\nReview of The Informers by Juan Gabriel V\u00e1squez (2009, Bloomsbury)\nFascinated by the life of long-time family friend, Sara Guterman, a Jewish German immigrant who fled to Colombia in the late 1930s, Gabriel Santoro writes a book about her experiences of exile and making a new life. His book, however, is not favourably received by his father, a famous professor of rhetoric and law, who publishes a scathing review in a national newspaper. The book and review places their relationship under strain and when his father dies not long after Gabriel investigates the source of his father\u2019s wrath, tracing it back to a secret from the Second World War and the treatment of the German community.\nThe Informers is a reflexive novel that explores a little known period of Colombian history when many Germans living in the country were blacklisted and interned at the insistence of the United States and its subsequent effects. Using a plot device of a falling out between father and son over the publication of a biography of a family friend \u2013 a German Jew who fled to Colombia in the 1930s \u2013 V\u00e1squez\u2019s narrative charts three intertwined family histories: a Jewish German family who has fled from Nazi Germany to start a new life in Columbia; a German-Colombian family who is severely affected by internment; and a Colombian family who were initially friends of both German families. The father and son belong to the latter, with the son keen to understand the history of the families, while the father would prefer the past remains largely forgotten. While the story is interesting and at times nicely written, V\u00e1squez\u2019s style was not to my taste, with the storytelling being overly reflexive, often to the point of navel gazing, and the pace slowing to almost a standstill at times. My sense was that it could have done with a good edit and it would have been more engaging if it had included more personal interchanges (the dialogue between characters is by far the best bits in the telling). Overall: interesting for the history, but fairly hard work to wade through despite the often nice prose and philosophical observations.\nLabels: by Juan Gabriel V\u00e1squez, Colombia, Review, The Informers\nI read and reviewed 99 books in 2015. Here are my favourite fiction books read in 2015 (5 star reviews). For full reviews of each book click on the links and to see all 99 reviews click here.\nIn my opinion The Laughing Policeman a masterclass in how to write a realist police procedural novel that does not rely on coincidence or plot devices to move the story along, nor does it concentrate on a non-conformist, lone cop (plus sidekick) who singlehandedly solves the case whilst coping with all kinds of personal issues. Instead, the case is solved through patient, diligent investigative work by a team of cops, involving a lot of footwork, collaboration, probing, leaning on informers, petty criminals and suspects, and wandering down blind alleys. The story is completely gripping as the dyspeptic Beck and his team inch towards solving the death of their colleague and eight other passengers shot late at night on a Stockholm bus.\nA Fine Dark Line by Joe Lansdale\nA coming of age tale set over the summer of 1958 in town of Dewmont, East Texas. The voice is pitch perfect and Lansdale drops the reader into the world of an innocent thirteen year old boy living in a liberal family in a socially and racially divided society as he learns of the world\u2019s various vices, some of its terrors, and how to survive them. The characterisation is excellent and there\u2019s a clear sense of character development as the story unfolds. Where the tale really excels is the sense of place and time, and the plot. The result is a taut, tense mystery that is vividly told and keeps the reader engaged and guessing until the final page. I thought it was a wonderful, poignant and riveting read.\nThe Long-Legged Fly by James Sallis\nA wonderfully emotive tale underpinned by strong character development and observational philosophy. Sallis\u2019 narrative subtly explores race and gender in the Deep South, and reflects on the intricate webs of social and political relations and histories people are bound up in. Sallis revels in the question \u2018what does this all mean?\u2019, with Griffin looking for answers on the street and the bottom of a glass. The prose is a joy to read.\nStrange Loyalties by William McIlvanney\nWhat separates McIlvanney\u2019s crime fiction from most is, I think, its literary sensibilities. While his stories are very much of the crime genre and are dark and gritty tales, they are crafted with prose and are rich in philosophical reflection. In Strange Loyalties Laidlaw is trying to come to terms with the untimely death of his brother, picking away at questions that no-one wants answered except him. While it's not the most cheery of tales it is compelling and haunting with Laidlaw seeking a truth that he knows he does not want to know.\nSayers\u2019 book rightly deserves plaudits for being a classic crime fiction tale, ticking all the key boxes - intriguing and clever plot, a thorny puzzle, excellent contextualisation, nice characterisation and interaction between characters, a strong sense of place, and literary prose. Essentially the tale is a whodunnit set in a small English village in the fens, centred on a Church and its bells, and the legacy of a robbery some twenty years previously. The plotting is intricate and well executed with minimal use of plot devices, and while the tale strays a little from social realism at times it nevertheless hangs together coherently and is rounded off with an ingenious but plausible denouement.\nAn engaging and thought provoking traitor\u2019s tale, Red Joan tells the story of a woman recruited at university by the Soviets who went on to become a leading spy at an atomic research centre and her subsequent interrogation many years later. The narrative structure works very well, aided expressive prose, nicely crafted characterisation, and a carefully constructed plot. A particular strength of the story is how Rooney unsettles any straightforward black and white reading of being a traitor, providing a layered, nuanced and poignant account that gradually exposes a long held secret and its consequences, and explores themes of motive, ideology, conscience, guilt, regret, and protection.\nThe Pale House by Luke McCallin\nSet in the closing stages of the Second World War, McCallin has his German detective, Reinhardt, conduct a murder investigation in Sarajevo. He weaves a clever, compelling and somewhat complex plot, nicely capturing the fear at work in the city, the tension within the German ranks and between them and their Croatian collaborators. Reinhardt is a somewhat sombre character, but his principles and role as a flawed but \u2018good German\u2019 in a corrupt regime makes him an interesting anti-hero. I particularly liked the very strong sense of place and historical context. Overall, an excellent historical crime tale.\nIt\u2019s easy to understand how some readers might get frustrated with William Gibson\u2019s writing style. In The Peripheral he uses a raft of made-up slang and neologisms, new cultural norms and invented technologies without ever explaining them. He just plunges the reader into the narrative. The result however is worth the disorientation. The plot is ingenious and nicely constructed, with Gibson exploring the unfolding arc of history and the interplay of politics and technology, and speculating on the fate of humanity.\nThese books all received 4.5 stars and make-up the rest of my 'best of' list for 2015.\nIn The Wind by Barbara Fister\nAngels Passing by Graham Hurley\nBull Mountain by Brian Panowich\nThe Godwulf Manuscript by Robert B Parker\nThe Vanished by Bill Pronzini\nRosa by Jonathan Rabb\nUnholy Ground by John Brady\nI've spent a chunk of the seasonal break revising the latest novel in progress. I did some fairly major surgery based on a couple of very useful readers' reports, removing 11,500 words, adding 5,500 and revising another chunk. The edits have certainly improved the story and I think it's in a pretty reasonable form. I guess the next step is to start hawking it around. I know exactly what I'm doing at this stage for non-fiction work, but how the fiction side of publishing works is still a bit of mystery to me. Wish me luck - I have a feeling that's a vital part of it!\nI was nine when I killed for the first time\nReview of The Getaway by Jim Thompson\nReview of Reykjavik Nights by Arnaldur Indridason\nReview of The Music Lovers by Jonathan Valin\nReview of Strangers on a Train by Patricia Highsmith\nI was nine when I killed for the first time. I stabbed a man in the chest with a kitchen knife while he slept. An hour earlier he\u2019d beaten my mother unconscious. I made a full confession, but my mother made a counter-one and was convicted. I was sent to my grandparents. Fifteen months later my grandfather died of asphyxiation. It seems that a belt can be used for more than whipping young boys. I then disappeared into the night. The third man I killed thought he could sell my body to a rich man. I\u2019ve killed five times since.\nAfter a slow month of reading in November, I over-indulged in December reading and reviewing 12 books.

        "title": "Surrender to the Void: 2017 Blind Spot Series: Hoop Dreams",
        "raw_content": "Directed and narrated by Steve James and written by James and Frederick Marx, Hoop Dreams is a film that follows the lives of two high school students from Chicago and their dream to become professional basketball players. Filmed in the course of five years as it was originally meant to be a thirty-minute short film made for PBS. The film showcases the journey of two boys in William Gates and Arthur Agee and their hopes to make it so they can use their skills in basketball to give them a better life away from the violent-ridden streets in the poor sections of Chicago. The result is a rapturous and intoxicating film from Steve James.\nThe film follows the lives of two kids from the inner-city areas of Chicago who both dream of making it to the NBA as a way to get themselves and their families out of the ghetto. Shot in the course of nearly five years through the entirety of these two boys life in high school where they both start out at St. Joseph High School in Westchester, Illinois where Isiah Thomas had attended. Throughout the entirety of the film, the parallel lives of William Gates and Arthur Agee would showcase the many ups and downs they would endure in their high school career with a lot of expectations laid upon them. While they both start out as freshman at the prestigious private school, only Gates would play in the varsity team, under the leadership of coach Gene Pingatore, where he would display a lot of promise into the first two years while getting financial aid and such to be at the school despite ninety-minute commute from Chicago to Westchester.\nAgee would arrive at the school in a similar manner yet would only be at the school for nearly a year-and-a-half due to rising tuition as his family were unable to pay for his sophomore year as only he only played for the school in its freshman team. Despite meeting his idol in Isiah Thomas, the experience at St. Joseph was bitter forcing Agee to attend the more public Marshall High School in Chicago. The film does have this air of a rise-and-fall or fall-to-rise scenario as it relates to both Gates and Agee, respectively, in the way they would encounter their own environments and personal situations. The latter would endure his own family breaking up with his drug-addicted father struggling to be clean and would leave for a time before redeeming himself during Agee\u2019s junior year and be there for him in his senior year.\nBoth Gates and Agee wouldn\u2019t just struggle with academics but also the demands of living up to their potential as basketball players. Gates would be able to balance both as he was well-liked at St. Joseph but when he injured his right knee in his junior year. Things began to change as he struggled to get back in the game as he also had hard time living up to Pingatore\u2019s demands. While Agee would go through a harder time academically where he would attend summer school during his junior and senior years. He would eventually succeed in basketball where he would take Marshall to the semi-finals of the state championship in his senior year where they finished third. Though Agee\u2019s academics were good enough to get him to a junior college, it was Gates that would go to Marquette in Wisconsin yet he would question a lot of things in the course of the last two years of his high school tenure.\nSteve James\u2019 direction is very intimate in the way he capture the four years in the life of these two boys as it\u2019s shot largely in hand-held cameras often inside cars or at the school with the aid of cinematographer Peter Gilbert and several camera operators in the course of the shooting. James, co-writer/co-producer Frederick Marx, and editor William Haugse would gather more than 250 hours of footage as the editing is a highlight of the film. Notably in the usage of slow-motion and other stylized cutting to help tell the story and move it back and forth in the different stories of Gates and Agee. James\u2019 direction help add a lot to the story where it also showcases the dangers of the inner city as that dream of making it to the NBA is something that is a gateway out of the idea of possible death in the streets.\nThe sound work of Adam Singer and Tom Yore would help play into the world of the ghetto as well as the raucous atmosphere of the games including the state tournament games in Champaign, Illinois while Yore would create some score music with main music producer Ben Sidran as it\u2018s music soundtrack largely consists of hip-hop and jazz music. The music at times is somber as it relates to the struggle that these two boys endure but also have something that play into where they come from and the need to do something great.\nHoop Dreams is an outstanding film from Steve James. Not only is it a riveting sports documentary but it\u2019s a whole lot more as it follow the lives of two boys trying to make it out of the inner city through their skills playing basketball. It\u2019s a film that covers so much yet manages to do with such humanity as well as an understanding of where these boys come from and the struggle they have to endure to reach the impossible dream. In the end, Hoop Dreams is a magnificent film from Steve James.\nLabels: blind spot series, steve james\nGreat review! This sounds so familiar but I can't recall if I've seen it or only read about it.\nI love this one. Such an unassuming, moving film about good people. Just my kind of non-fiction. No fictional movie characters could generate such sympathy. Good review, man! Glad you dug it.\nGreat choice for blind spot! Among the best films ever made about sports, and unfairly snubbed of an oscar nomination for Best Documentary. Roger Ebert was right to champion the hell out of Hoop Dreams.\n@Brittani-See it ! It is a documentary that everyone needs to see!!!\n@Kevin-It's one of the reasons why it works. You have people who are flawed but you can relate to them and their struggles. It's a film that is really authentic.\n@Chris-Ebert was so dead-on about that film. I heard how it got snubbed. The Academy voters only saw like 10-20 minutes of it and then were like... \"next\". What a bunch of assholes.\nSo glad you liked this one. It really is one of the great sports docs. But, as you said, so much more than that.\n@Alex Withrow-If there's a list of definitive docs. This should be on that list.",

        "raw_content": "How to Get the Cinematic Look in Boring Places\nSorry for not being able to make the other video yesterday, but I was busy with two things- the second trailer and scene 13.\nAs I was working on that, I made a great movie discovery. I realized that any high quality video is cinematic, no matter what the video is about:\nRelated to the video, here's the trick to capturing the 'cinematic' look of your home.\nThe Cinematic Look in Boring Places\nA few months ago, I decided I'd go on a road near to where I live, simply because I had never been there before. I looked up and the first thing I saw was a horror movie- like house, covered in fog and almost hidden behind tall bushes.\nI knew I had to get a shot of this for whatever video I would be making, so I grabbed my camera and started recording. I first got a steady far shot, then zoomed in to one of the windows.\nWhen I did this, I saw my sister, randomly staring at me. The house I was filming was my house, and it did look cinematic, despite my thoughts.\nIt's just like visiting someone and thinking their house is much more organized or much more welcoming. Then that someone comes to visit you and thinks the same.\nSo try this out. Shoot a scene inside your home, edit it and show it to people who have never been there before.\nProgress this Month\nThis month was great for two reasons.\nOne, I have never been so committed to a project before. I blogged everyday for 30 days, I didn't give up on the movie idea(normally, I lose interest in about 10- 12 projects a month) and... well... see the links in the sidebar.\nSecond, I realized I live in the best possible part of this country to shoot a movie in. Went on a bike trip yesterday, only to find out I have all the locations needed for my movie within a ten mile radius. There are literally hundreds of square miles of empty, unused field around here, an abandoned shack far away from anybody to keep me from entering it, hills high enough to look like mountains(good for the intro scenes), a small river that seems to pop out of nowhere and an undisturbed bit of thick woods. What's more, these places can also be reached in a car, which makes everything perfect. I can finally shoot this thing.\nHopefully, I'll dive into filming next weekend.\nAs for the blog progress. Well then, in a month of 1-2 posts a day, I have got up to 517 views. I hope to add a zero to that figure by the end of the second month.\nThose being said, I'll be back in 12 to 24 hours.",

        "title": "Tennessee Railroads: American Civil War",
        "raw_content": "Tennessee Railroads and the American Civil War (1861-1865)\nTennessee railroad network at the time it joined the Confederacy in 1861\nTennessee's Civil War railroad experience involved a complex interplay of overall military strategy, major combat engagements that involved railroads in a direct or indirect way, individual attacks specifically aimed against railroad equipment and facilities, and non-combat military events. Any attempt to condense such a complex story risks the distortions inherent in oversimplification, but here we attempt to portray the various aspects of the railroad involvement in the military events of the Civil War in Tennessee.\nTennessee Civil War Railroad Map\n(About) The red dots depict major rail junction cities in Tennessee during the Civil War.\nIn the 19th century, railroads tended to converge at major cities and towns, where they participated in and added to the economic life of those communities. In Tennessee, many such communities served as significant river ports before the railroads appeared--and profited greatly from the interaction of river and rail traffic after the railroads arrived. Of course, their strategic placement also meant that these communities would attract the attention of contending sides when war broke out.\nAlthough Tennesseans considered railroads as early as 1827, the first actual railroad construction began with the Hiwassee Railroad in 1837 (it failed in 1842), and the LaGrange and Memphis Railroad in 1842 became the first to actually operate a train in Tennessee (this company failed a few months later). By the 1850s, with organizational and financial arrangements finally in place to support a large scale construction effort, a railroad development boom ensued, and by 1860 Tennessee had completed 1,197 miles of track. This represented about 13% of the South's total of 9,167 miles. Southern railroads represented only about 30% of the total national rail mileage, and they were small organizations with inferior equipment running on lighter rail. However, Tennessee's strategic location as a border state between North and South destined its railroads to play a significant role in the Civil War.\nEarly Tennessee Railroads\nTennessee Railroad Map\n(About) This map reflects the Tennessee rail line in 1850 and further displays the state's phenomenal railroad boom between 1850 and 1860.\nAt the outset of the Civil War, Tennessee's antebellum railroad network fell completely within the geographic area controlled by the Confederacy. Although Tennessee's overall railroad system was smaller and more modestly equipped than those of more northerly states, it nevertheless covered most of the state and provided a new form of transportation which could move masses of people and supplies more rapidly than any previous form of land transport used by Tennesseans.\nUnlike the Confederacy, the Federal government took a very strong role in the wartime control of railroads. Although Federal forces were authorized (by an Act of Congress on January 31, 1862) to seize any railroad when necessary to support the successful conduct of military operations, actual seizure was generally limited to former enemy railroads captured through military conquest. Early Federal railroad operations in the western theater (including Tennessee), generally under the auspices of the Quartermaster Department, supported basic railroad operations but sometimes proved chaotic (instigating investigations in spring of 1863). Eventually the U.S. Military Railroads (USMRR), utilizing railroad management practices perfected in the eastern theater, established (under the leadership of D. C. McCallum) a more effective organizational structure for managing construction and operational activities on the seized railroads in Tennessee using its own personnel (usually experienced railroad men drawn from private companies).\nSource: Middle Tennessee State University\nRecommended Reading: Civil War Railroads: A Pictorial Story of the War Between the States, 1861-1865 (Hardcover: 192 pages) (Publisher: Indiana University Press).

Like all wars, the Civil War was not all gunfire and panic. It was supply and transport, trains and trouble on the line, men in Blue and Gray fighting against almost unbelievable odds with lumbering, woodburning engines. Continued below...\nAbout the Author: George B. Abdill, Civil War Railroads: A Pictorial Story of the War Between the States, 1861-1865, before his death, was a railroader's writer--A working hoghead on the Southern Pacific's Portland Division and historian of the great days of steam. His special gift was as a collector of truly remarkable photographs illustrating the pioneering days of the railroads. And he had a special place in his heart for military railroaders since he, himself, served with the 744th Railway Operation Battalion during World War II, running his engine in France, Belgium, and Germany. He had first-hand knowledge of railroading under fire.\nAmerican Civil War Railroads\nTennessee Railroad-Related Military Events by County\nTennessee Railroad-Related Military Events by Railroad\nTennessee Railroad-Related Military Events by Date\nConfederate Railroads: East Tennessee & Virginia\nConfederate Railroads: East Tennessee & Georgia\nStrawberry Plains \"Railroad Bridge\": The Battle\nRecommended Reading: A History of the American Locomotive: Its Development, 1830-1880 (Trains) (528 pages).

Description: For those with an interest in the Civil War, this book gives new insight into the efforts of the Confederacy to keep its armies in the field during four years of Union onslaughts. Harold Wilson, an English professor at Old Dominion University, looks largely at the textile industry but also focuses on armaments and other production. Continued below...\nHe also discusses the Confederacy's efforts to supply itself from Europe with blockade-running ships, and the efforts of Northern armies - especially under Sherman - to destroy the Confederacy's industrial base. He examines the rise of Southern industry in the decades after the war. This is a solid, well-researched book that covers an important area of Civil War history in unprecedented depth.\nRecommended Reading: Stealing the General: The Great Locomotive Chase and the First Medal of Honor. Description: \"The Great Locomotive Chase has been the stuff of legend and the darling of Hollywood. Now we have a solid history of the Andrews Raid. Russell S. Bonds\u2019 stirring account makes clear why the raid failed and what happened to the raiders.\"\u2014James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Continued below...\nOn April 12, 1862 -- one year to the day after Confederate guns opened on Fort Sumter -- a tall, mysterious smuggler and self-appointed Union spy named James J. Andrews and nineteen infantry volunteers infiltrated north Georgia and stole a steam engine referred to as the General. Racing northward at speeds approaching sixty miles an hour, cutting telegraph lines and destroying track along the way, Andrews planned to open East Tennessee to the Union army, cutting off men and materiel from the Confederate forces in Virginia. If they succeeded, Andrews and his raiders could change the course of the war. But the General\u2019s young conductor, William A. Fuller, chased the stolen train first on foot, then by handcar, and finally aboard another engine, the Texas. He pursued the General until, running out of wood and water, Andrews and his men abandoned the doomed locomotive, ending the adventure that would soon be famous as The Great Locomotive Chase, but not the ordeal of the soldiers involved. In the days that followed, the \"engine thieves\" were hunted down and captured. Eight were tried and executed as spies, including Andrews. Eight others made a daring escape to freedom, including two assisted by a network of slaves and Union sympathizers. For their actions, before a personal audience with President Abraham Lincoln, six of the raiders became the first men in American history to be awarded the Medal of Honor -- the nation's highest decoration for gallantry. Americans north and south, both at the time and ever since, have been astounded and fascinated by this daring raid. Until now, there has not been a complete history of the entire episode and the fates of all those involved. Based on eyewitness accounts, as well as correspondence, diaries, military records, newspaper reports, deposition testimony and other primary sources, Stealing the General: The Great Locomotive Chase and the First Medal of Honor by Russell S. Bonds is a blend of meticulous research and compelling narrative that is destined to become the definitive history of \"the boldest adventure of the war.\"\nRecommended Viewing: American Experience - Transcontinental Railroad (2003) (PBS) (120 minutes).

Since times immemorial, dance has been the expression of our lives.\nEssentially, dancing has been and is important because it is part of us as humans, we live, we love, we laugh and we dance. Dancing contributes immensely to the personal improvement of the child and thereby enhances all types of skills that are required for better education. Research has shown that dancing boosts child\u2019s self-esteem and enhances confidence in them.\nDancing requires memorization and so helps children improve their overall memory when trying to remember steps. Dancing improves listening skills in children, whether it is for the instructions or for the beats. Dancing imbibes social skills in children and teaches them how to interact with their peers in a positive and a non-competitive manner. By participating in dance events, they experience what it is to participate in pure cooperative and collaborative group endeavors. They best learn to be supportive, to truly work as a team and to compromise. Dancing, in any form is an enjoyable and a wonderful form of exercise. Dancing helps the body\u2019s circulatory system and improves cardiovascular health.\nWe offer learning in both Indian classical and western dances as an integral part of the curriculum.",

        "raw_content": "By: Rey Gamboa\nPhilippines Star 09 January 2014\nWith the higher taxes arising from the new Sin Tax Reform Law passed end-2012, two unshakeable facts have emerged. First, that the now more expensive alcohol and tobacco products are still popular consumer items, what with continued patronage by local customers in 2013.\nSecond, that the government is collecting much more than it originally estimated from levies on the sale of liquor and cigarettes, and that this should increase further in the next years as the industry moves forward to a unitary tax scheme.\nThe first is a not-so-good news for anti-smoking and drinking advocates who rightly regard these two vices as societal ills that burden the public health care system with sick people who can ill-afford to pay for their own medicines and hospitalization.\nThe second, of course, is a boon for the regime of Bureau of Internal Revenue commissioner Kim Henares who, despite all the hard work and mighty guts spilled last year running after errant tax payers, will most likely still not meet her overall collection target.\nRead more: http://www.philstar.com/business/2014/01/09/1276615/growing-threats-sin-tax-reform",

        "raw_content": "CEREC stands for Ceramic Reconstruction and is a sophisticated system of designing and making high quality, metal-free dental restorations in one patient visit. Developed by Sirona, CEREC utilizes 3D photography and CAD/CAM technology to assist a dentist in designing a virtual restoration (onlay, inlay, crown, or bridge) without taking impressions and, when combined with a milling unit, is able to build the actual restoration while you are still in the chair.\nThe computer system and camera in the CEREC AC unit have been upgraded substantially from prior units, allowing even a new user to create near perfect restorations on a routine basis.\nAfter being a \u201cCEREC\u201d doctor for almost a decade, I understand the value of what CEREC brings to a practice and a patient. That\u2019s why we recently upgraded to the latest and greatest machine, the CEREC AC. This machine allows us to take digital impressions for restorations (no more gagging on impressions!) and make precise restorations that look excellent, fit perfectly, and last a long time \u2014 all out of biocompatible, metal-free materials and all in very little time (a typical crown appointment lasts less than 2 hours, and you don\u2019t need to come back to finish the work\u2026 it\u2019s all done in one visit).\nBy upgrading our CEREC machine, we are able to do same-day restorations on almost all procedures (you can have a complete crown done in under two hours, in one visit), including inlays, onlays, crowns, and even some bridges, often at a lower cost to you. Restorations look outstanding, last a long time, and are biocompatible and metal-free. Fewer visits and a lower cost\u2026 that\u2019s a pretty good benefit!\nThe cavity preparation is first photographed and stored as a three dimensional digital model and proprietary software is then used to approximate the restoration shape using biogeneric comparisons to surrounding teeth. The practitioner then refines that model using 3D CAD software. When the model is complete a milling machine carves the actual restoration out of a ceramic block using diamond head cutters under computer control. When complete, the restoration is bonded to the tooth using a resin. CEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.

        "raw_content": "Rupert Murdoch\u2019s Diseased Ethics\nAt noon on July 14, 2011, about 100 people gathered on the west side of 5th Avenue at 64th Street, directly across from Rupert Murdoch\u2019s apartment building. They were demonstrating against the constant race-baiting of Fox News as well as the growing evidence of illegal wire-tapping solely for the purpose of news scoops.\nThe demonstration was organized by ColorOfChange.org, an African American civil rights organization. Color of Change also had over 112,000 petitions calling on Fox News to fire Eric Bolling for his racial stereotyping, such as when he accused President Obama of \u201cchugging forties\u201d in Ireland and inviting \u201choodlums to the hizzouse.\u201d Remember, under Bush, how Fox News would call him \u201cCommander in Chief\u201d in an almost sacrosanct manner? Doesn\u2019t Obama deserve the same? What became of Fox\u2019s deep respect for the office of the President of the United States?\nRashad Robinson, Color of Change\u2019s executive director told the demonstrators that Americans were tired of being divided by race and that \u201cWe are standing up to say that we will no longer allow our communities to be attacked by a man more interested in profits than American values.\u201d When he and the group attempted to deliver the petitions to the Murdoch address, the doorman, predictably, claimed the building \u201cwas not accepting packages\u201d and refused to take them.\nThe Petitions at the door\nIn the following days, as we know all too well, the lid blew off the top of the long-simmering News of the World wiretapping scandal in Britain, and the world has been introduced to a rogues\u2019 gallery of criminal misbehavior and unethical practices by Murdoch\u2019s underlings. Here are some of the players:\nRupert Murdoch: chairman and controlling shareholder of News Corporation, one of the world\u2019s largest media conglomerates; he is the 117th wealthiest person in the world; called to testify before Parliament last week.\nJames Murdoch: Rupert\u2019s son, who is in charge of News Corporation\u2019s European operations; called to testify before Parliament last week.\nAndy Coulson: former editor of News of the World; then he became Prime Minister James Cameron\u2019s director of communications; left post in January because of phone-hacking affair; arrested in July.\nRebekah Brooks: former editor of News of the World and chief executive of News International; resigned on July 15, 2011, arrested two days later in connection with phone hacking and corruption, released and also testified before Parliament.\nClive Goodman: royal correspondent for News of the World; arrested for intercepting royal household phone messages; served a four-month jail term in 2007; rearrested in July 2011 with new hacking revelations.\nGlen Mulcaire: News of the World investigator; pleaded guilty to phone hacking in 2007, and jailed; News of the World had been paying his legal fees until the day after the Murdochs\u2019 recent testimony before Parliament.\nSir Paul Stephenson: Once Scotland Yard\u2019s deputy commissioner and now its chief, the most senior police officer in the UK; he had approved almost $40,000 in payments in 2009-10 to the second ranking editor at News of the World, who was acting as his personal media consultant; he has announced his resignation because of his connections with the Murdochs.\nDick Fedorcio: Metropolitan Police communications director, who played a role in the hiring of Neil Wallis; during the phone hacking probe, he dined regularly with News of the World executives.\nJohn Yates: Former assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, resigned Monday, July 18 over criticism of his investigation of the phone hacking scandal.\nDavid Cameron: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom/leader of the Conservative Party; in trouble for his cozy friendships with Rupert Murdoch and Rebekah Brooks, and for the hiring of Coulson.\nLes Hinton: former editor of News of the World, then executive chairman of News International; one of Murdoch\u2019s closest deputies; came to America as chief executive of Dow Jones and publisher of The Wall Street Journal, from which he just resigned\nJoel I. Klein: Former New York City Schools chancellor; now a senior News Corp executive and close confidante to Murdoch, often referred to as Murdoch\u2019s consigliere\nThese merely scratch the surface of this rogue\u2019s gallery, and now that the Murdoch empire can no longer rely on buying special treatment and intimidating its way out of investigations, more emerge every day. The myriad unethical activities that he and his organizations condoned and partook in finally tilted the scales against him because one, specific phone hacking incident was just too egregious\u2013that perpetrated on 13-year-old Milly Dowler, who had been abducted and murdered in 2002.\nFor at least two decades, Murdoch and his media empire have played kingmaker in British politics. As was written in the New York Times on July 16, \u201cMr. Murdoch has been a figure of towering political importance, credited by many British politicians with the power to make and unmake governments as well as influence government policies that affect the fortunes of his newspaper and television interests.\u201d For example, he dumped the Conservatives to support Labour in 1997, and Labour stayed in power under Blair until Murdoch decided to support the Conservatives and Cameron in 2010. This is not what news organizations are meant to do.\nAnd let\u2019s not fool ourselves into thinking that this is simply a British issue. Murdoch\u2019s talons are deep into America\u2019s flesh (as well as that of Asian countries). He shuttles his senior executives and editors across the Atlantic, and their questionable ethics accompany them. There\u2019s a promiscuity in all this. Whatever Murdoch touches gets affected by his diseased sense of ethics, no matter which continent we examine.\nHere in America, he wrested control of Dow Jones and Company (and with that, The Wall Street Journal) from the Bancroft family with one of his favorite tactics\u2013divide and conquer. He then installed two of his closest deputies, Robert Thomson and Les Hinton. In the process, as Joe Nocera has written, The Wall Street Journal became \u201cFox-ified\u201d with shorter articles, less depth and more politically propagandistic towards the right. Thus, the \u201cdisease\u201d has already infected and weakened one of our once-great newspapers.\nIn another instance, Murdoch has somehow managed to cut a special deal with Apple and won a recurring subscription on its iPad for his news app, The Daily, designed solely for iPads and other tablet computers. In so doing, he is cornering the market in a new form on online media based on paid content. This will make him even richer and able to buy greater power and influence.\nMore brazenly, ever since the election of President Obama, Fox News has forcefully promoted conservative candidates and the Tea Party movement. Murdoch\u2019s News Corporation has entered into partisan politics as no organization like it has ever before. In 2010, it gave $1 million to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of electing Republicans; its News America division gave better than $1 million to the Republican Governors Association. For an organization ostensibly dedicated to providing news, this is hardly \u201cfair and balanced!\u201d The \u201cfourth estate,\u201d by tradition and definition, is meant to be independent of government.\nIn the past decade, Murdoch\u2019s News Corporation has paved a money trail deep into Congress and the federal agencies that oversee his industry. Since 2001, his company has spent over $42 million in lobbying lawmakers and regulators. Through intimidation, bribery, illegal phone hacking and other unethical practices, Rupert Murdoch has built a powerful media empire that is intent upon influencing elections and changing laws that interfere with its growth. Is this really what we want for America?\nFiled Under: Events, Politics Tagged With: ColorOfChange.org, Corruption, Fox News, News Corporation, News of the World, Phone Hacking, Rupert Murdoch, Unethical Practices\n\u00ab David Brooks and Dr. Strangelove\nWillie Nelson, Kansas City and Farm Aid \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Other Local Name : Asiatic pennywort, Indian pennywort\nBotanical Name : Centella asiatica\nFamily : Mackinlayoideae\nOther Uses : Centella is used as a leafy green in Sri Lankan cuisine, where it is called gotu kola. In Sinhalese, gotu is translated as \"conical shape\" and kola as \"leaf\". It is most often prepared as malluma (\u0db8\u0dd0\u0dbd\u0dca\u0dbd\u0dd4\u0db8), a traditional accompaniment to rice and curry, and goes especially well with vegetarian dishes, such as dhal, and jackfruit or pumpkin curry. It is considered quite nutritious. In addition to finely chopped gotu kola, malluma almost always contains grated coconut, and may also contain finely chopped green chilis, chili powder, turmeric powder and lime (or lemon) juice. A variation of the nutritious porridge known as kola kenda is also made with gotu kola by the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka. Kola Kenda is made with very well-boiled red rice (with extra liquid), coconut milk and gotu kola, which is pureed. The porridge is accompanied with jaggery for sweetness. Centella leaves are also used in sweet \"pennywort\" drinks. In Indonesia, the leaves are used for sambai oi peuga-ga, an Aceh type of salad, and is also mixed into asinan in Bogor. In Vietnam and Thailand, this leaf is used for preparing a drink or can be eaten in raw form in salads or cold rolls. In Bangkok, vendors in the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market sell it alongside coconut, roselle, chrysanthemum, orange and other health drinks. In Malay cuisine the leaves of this plant are used for ulam, a type of Malay salad.[6] It is one of the constituents of the Indian summer drink thandaayyee. In Bangladeshi cuisine mashed centella is eaten with rice. Medicinal Use The whole plant is used for medicinal purposes Centella asiatica (CA), a clonal, perennial herbaceous creeper belonging to the family Umbellifere (Apiceae) is found throughout India growing in moist places up to an altitude of 1800 m. It is found in most tropical and subtropical countries growing in swampy areas, including parts of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and South Africa and South pacific and Eastern Europe. About 20 species related to CA grow in most parts of the tropic or wet pantropical areas such as rice paddies, and also in rocky, higher elevations It is a tasteless, odourless plant that thrives in and around water. It has small fan-shaped green leaves with white or light purple-to-pink or white flowers and it bears small oval fruit. It is widely used as a blood purifier as well as for treating high blood pressure, for memory enhancement and promoting longevity. In Ayurveda, CA is one of the main herbs for revitalizing the nerves and brain cells. Eastern healers relied on CA to treat emotional disorders, such as depression, that were thought to be rooted in physical problems[10,11]. In the Western medicine, during the middle of the twentieth century, CA and its alcohol extracts reported to have shown positive results in the treatment of leprosy.\nCentella asiatica, commonly known as centella is a small, herbaceous, annual plant of the family Mackinlayaceae or subfamily Mackinlayoideae of family Apiaceae, and is native to wetlands in Asia. It is used as a medicinal herb in Ayurvedic medicine, traditional African medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine.",

        "raw_content": "Home > Strategy > Winning at B2B Customer Experience\n08/10/2018 Hideki Hashimura Strategy 0 1\nA frictionless, omnichannel experience is a customer engagement requisite for complete digital transformation. However, to truly drive sales and foster strong relationships, a well-planned and holistic omnichannel experience creates a strong value differentiator that allows your company to stand out against the competition.\nWhen it comes to B2B customer service, companies encounter unique challenges that don\u2019t feature as strongly in B2C. The B2B environment tends to be more complex, with longer sales cycles, contractually set service levels, greater investment in time, money, and resources, alongside having multiple stakeholders, each of which need their personal goals to be understood.\nIn this multifaceted environment, providing a winning B2B customer service involves taking a comprehensive approach that provides a human-centric experience at fundamental moments in the relationship.\nHow can businesses make this a reality?\nThe 6 Pillars of Customer Experience\nAny digital transformation or CRM strategy is built on providing value differentiation against the competition, based largely on the customer\u2019s service experience. The 6 pillars are a important building blocks that ensure the client\u2019s needs are met, driving the relationship to new levels of trust and collaboration throughout the progression of various life cycles. Research clearly shows that businesses that consistently excel in these areas will ultimately benefit through loyalty, enhanced revenue, and increased shareholder value.\nThe first pillar is personalisation, which means establishing an emotional connection with your target through individualised attention. The varying nature of relationships means that tailoring your communication to the needs of the individual client is a prominent factor in driving trust.\nBefore you\u2019ve had a chance to prove it, a client needs to feel that you are a trustworthy business partner. This is where integrity, or the \u201cbrand-promise\u201d of trust, is extremely important.\nCustomer expectations are difficult for businesses. Although easier said than done, consistency is fundamental solely to establish a baseline. Exceeding customer expectations in their experience with your company is essential for value differentiation.\nResolution involves learning how to turn a negative experience into a positive one. A well-managed negative experience has the potential to increase trust, as long as it is dealt with swiftly and appropriately.\nThe amount of time and effort a customer has to put in to doing business with you is a strong driver of loyalty. If they encounter an easy, frictionless experience, they are more likely to become loyal promoters who help build reputation.\nEnable the capabilities in customer interactions ultimately builds stronger relationships, which will inevitably drive rapport, and loyalty. By showing your customers that you \u201ccan deliver\u201d the performance you promised you are setting the benchmark for differentiation. This is where omni-channel becomes crucial, being able to be there for your client and maintain a fluid conversation through any channel, at any time, by any agent. Empowering your employees with the right technology tools generates the trust you need from clients to turn into loyal advocates.\nConcentrating on key moments of the relationship\nIt\u2019s common for business to give in to the unrealistic temptation to be ready for every eventuality and that all dimensions of the experience matter. While it\u2019s true that consistency is extremely important in ensuring a successful B2B customer experience, the real value in driving the relationship occurs in key moments.\nThis is where the human element is especially important. B2B relationships are built up amongst organisations and teams, and therefore are more complex and multifaceted than B2C relationships, which only deal with individual customers. Like any relationship, your B2B relationship can go backwards, as well as forwards. By focusing on key moments that drive relationships, such as providing a service that fulfills a need at a crucial stage of the service life cycle, you can help ensure a fruitful collaboration that builds over time.\nPlanning your target experience\nIt\u2019s important to first identify the key moments at the different stages of the life cycle, before planning an \u201cexperience\u201d as you want to deliver it at each particular stage. Take, for example, the stages, which come after purchase and post-purchase. You may have provided excellent service up until this point, however, all this will be lost if the client attempts to resolve a problem with the product and encounter difficulty in solving their issue. In a B2B environment, where the relationship should theoretically build over time, this is a serious issue, as it could potentially discourage renewal and lead to churn.\nTo ensure you provide an experience that sets you apart and drives long-lasting customer relationships, it\u2019s important to plan how you want to influence the experience at every stage of the life cycle. This target experience should be based on one of the before-mentioned 6 pillars to help the relationship move forward, while also anticipating any potential problems that could have a negative impact.\nAs customer expectations continue to transform \u2013 even in a B2B environment \u2013 developing a comprehensive B2B customer strategy is now more important than ever. This involves taking an entirely holistic approach that uses insights from the 6 pillars to concentrate on driving the relationship at key moments. Doing this will help ensure a comprehensive and consistent customer service that inspires loyalty and sets your business apart in a competitive market place.\nB2bCRMCustomer ExperienceCustomer JourneyCXdigitaltransformationomnichannel",

        "raw_content": "Students in the Bachelor of Philosophy work with a faculty mentor to develop an individually tailored undergraduate major that enables them to pursue academic and artistic discovery unavailable through traditional majors and program concentrations. Each student completes a senior capstone project or thesis. Students should apply for admission before their junior year.\nThe admissions process asks students to: identify and secure the support of a faculty member who will serve as a mentor and adviser; examine carefully whether their undergraduate educational goals can be met through an existing academic major, or whether doing so requires a unique program of courses and activities; develop a proposed course of study that provides the academic breadth and depth associated with the completion of a disciplinary major; and attend a Bachelor of Philosophy admissions interview during which each of these issues and others may be discussed.\nBachelor of Philosophy students must be self-motivated and able to engage in a sustained program of academic discovery culminating in a capstone project or thesis that is shared with others. Students and their faculty mentors use the program to bring unique combinations of study and discovery, often interdisciplinary in nature, to bear on intellectual and artistic issues. The Bachelor of Philosophy Degree Program is appropriate for the student whose intellectual or artistic approach to a way of knowing requires work beyond the scope or disciplinary approach associated with otherwise available majors.\nFaculty mentors assist students in planning their academic programs and in achieving their Bachelor of Philosophy goals. A student\u2019s written or oral presentations and courses, labs, fieldwork, theses, projects, and performances, may provide some of the means through which mentors direct the learning path to document academic success.\nThe Bachelor of Philosophy Degree Program is administered by an intercollege faculty committee working through the Office of Undergraduate Education. The mentor need not be a member of the committee. The intercollege faculty committee is responsible for admitting students, annually examining the progress of all students in the program, and approving the completion of degrees based on the certification made by a faculty mentor and the successful presentation of an appropriate capstone at a Bachelor of Philosophy seminar or other approved forum.\nThe BPhil is an intellectually demanding postgraduate course, presupposing an undergraduate and/or graduate background in philosophy (or equivalent). It is not in general suitable as a conversion course for students changing to philosophy from another subject and it cannot be studied part-time or externally. It is regarded both as training for the DPhil and a basis for teaching a range of philosophical subjects and requires sustained and focused work over two years.\nCandidates admitted for the BPhil will be taught through a combination of classes and one-to-one supervisions. Each candidate will be required to submit six assessed essays (of no more than 5,000 words each) across at least five subjects (with no more than two essays on any one subject), together with a thesis of up to 30,000 words.\nThe assessed essays must be chosen from three broad subject Groups: one essay must be on a subject from Group 1 (\u201cTheoretical Philosophy\u201d), one on a subject from Group 2 (\u201cPractical Philosophy\u201d), and two on a subject or subjects from Group 3 (\u201cHistory of Philosophy\u201d), of which at least one must be concerned with philosophy written before 1800. The precise list of subjects in the three groups will be published at the beginning of each year and will be tailored to the particular strengths of the Faculty members who will be teaching that year, but a typical list might be as follows:\nGroup 1: Metaphysics; Epistemology; Logic and Philosophy of Logic; Philosophy of Language; Philosophy of Mind; Philosophy of Religion; Philosophy of Probability and Decision Theory ; Philosophy of Science; Philosophy of Mathematics; Philosophy of Physics; Philosophy of Psychology and Cognitive Science.\nGroup 2: Normative and Applied Ethics; Meta-Ethics; Political Philosophy; Aesthetics; Philosophy of Law.\nGroup 3: Ancient Philosophy; Medieval Philosophy; Early Modern Philosophy; History of Philosophy from 1800 to 1950.\nThere will be provision for candidates to apply to submit up to two essays on at most one subject not included in the list of approved subjects.\nDuring their first four terms of study, students will be offered one-to-one supervision on two chosen subjects: two supervisions per term, four supervisions per subject in total. A 'Pro-seminar' is held in the first term of the first year and covers classic papers in theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy. In every term, there will also be a wide range of specialised graduate seminars on offer. Students are expected to attend two graduate classes per term (not including the Pro-seminar) during the first four terms of study.\nStudents will be assessed continuously over the first four terms of study, with two essays submitted at the beginning of the third, fourth and fifth term. The thesis is submitted at the end of the sixth (and final) term. Students will be allocated a thesis supervisor, and can expect to receive two one-to-one supervisions on their thesis in each of their final two terms of study.\nTo be awarded the BPhil degree, students must achieve (i) a passing mark in six essays, which collectively must meet the distribution requirement described above; and (ii) a passing mark in the thesis. The lowest passing mark for the essays and the thesis is 60. 70 or more signifies distinction level for essays and thesis. Details of arrangements for the resubmission of failed work will be set out in the Graduate Student Handbook.\nCandidates who achieve an overall distinction on the BPhil in Philosophy are automatically eligible to progress to the DPhil, provided only that the Philosophy Graduate Studies Committee is satisfied that their proposed thesis topic and outline indicate that they can be adequately supervised by members of the Philosophy Faculty. Candidates who pass the BPhil without a distinction can be admitted to the DPhil at the Philosophy Graduate Studies Committee\u2019s discretion. To achieve a distinction, students must obtain an average of 70 or above on the five highest marks for the essays, with no essay mark falling below 63 and a mark of 70 or above on the thesis.\nAncient Philosophy Track in the BPhil\nOxford is widely acknowledged to contain one of the leading groups, arguably the leading group, of ancient philosophers in the world; ancient philosophy at Oxford is ranked top in the Philosophical Gourmet Report\u2019s breakdown of programmes by speciality.\nStudents interested in Ancient Philosophy in particular might wish to note the possibility of an \u2018Ancient Philosophy track\u2019 in the BPhil in Philosophy, Oxford's flagship (two-year) postgraduate philosophy course. This is not a separate degree, but a way of studying Ancient Philosophy within the existing BPhil structure.\nStudents on such a track would write two of the six essays on Ancient Philosophy in Group 3 and the thesis would be written on some aspect of Ancient Philosophy. They would also tailor some of their chosen topics for Groups 1 or 2 appropriately to match their interest in issues arising from Ancient metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, etc. They may also apply to the Philosophy Graduate Studies Committee for a waiver from one essay\u2019s worth of the BPhil distribution requirement.\nThose applying for the Ancient Philosophy track should state their intention clearly when applying.\nPhilosophy of Physics Track in the BPhil\nStudents interested in Philosophy of Physics might also wish to note the possibility of a \u2018Philosophy of Physics track\u2019 in the BPhil in Philosophy, Oxford's flagship (two-year) postgraduate philosophy course. This is not a separate course, but a way of studying Philosophy of Physics within the existing BPhil structure.\nStudents on such a track would study primarily philosophy of physics and philosophy of science in the first two terms, study more general philosophical topics in the third and fourth term, and write a 30,000-word thesis on philosophy of physics or philosophy of science in the final two terms. They may also apply to the Philosophy Graduate Studies Committee for a waiver from one essay\u2019s worth of the BPhil distribution requirement.\nApplicants for the BPhil are normally expected to have studied philosophy at undergraduate level, but the Philosophy of Physics track is also suitable for students with a very strong physics background who wish to move into the philosophy of physics or science, as an alternative to the MSt in Philosophy of Physics.\nThose applying for the Philosophy of Physics track should state their intention clearly when applying.\nFor all graduate courses in the Faculty of Philosophy, applications including all supporting material must be submitted by the closing date, for admission in the following October.\nThe application cycle for entry in October 2016 is now OPEN. The deadline for all graduate courses in the Faculty of Philosophy for October 2016 entry is 12 noon UK time on Friday 8 January 2016, and no late applications will be accepted. An Open Day will be held on Wednesday 19 March 2016 for all applicants who are offered a place on any Faculty of Philosophy graduate course for entry in October 2016. Applicants are not normally interviewed and late applications will not be considered.\nThe online application form and other application information are available from theApplying to Oxford website.\nFor an application to be considered, it needs to be complete with all required supporting documents and be submitted online or received by the Graduate Admissions and Funding Office by the specified deadline.",

It is therefore worthwhile to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. This paper describes a low energy building design in Hangzhou, south China. A hybrid ventilation system which employs both natural and mechanical ventilation was used for the building due to the severity of the climate. The passive ventilation system was tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and the results showed that, in the mid-seasons, natural ventilation for the building is viable. The likely thermal performance of the building design throughout the year was evaluated using Dynamic Thermal Simulation (DTS) with local hourly standard weather data. It is concluded that the hybrid ventilation system is a feasible, low energy approach for building design, even in subtropical climates such as south China.\nProceedings: The First International Conference on Building Energy and Environment\nDr Yingchun Ji",

        "raw_content": "The State of Virginia allows homeowners to perform their own construction work without hiring a licensed contractor.\nHowever, many homeowners choose to hire a contractor to do all or part of the work.\nThe steps below may alleviate some anxiety when selecting a contractor.\n1. Make sure the contractor is licensed.\nAsk the contractor for a copy of his business license and the state\u2019s contractor\u2019s license, which are required by each city and county in order to do business in Virginia.\nIf you are unsure of the validity of the license, you can verify it through the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation (DPOR) at (804) 367-8500 or http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/\n2. Make sure the contractor is insured. Ask the contractor for a copy of his certificate of insurance.\n3. Check with the local Better Business Bureau and Home Builder\u2019s Association of the New River Valley to see if there have been any complaints filed against the contractor.\n4. Check to see if the contractor has a reputable business establishment. Confirm the physical address and local phone number of his office.\n5. Inquire about employees and sub-contractors who will be working on your project and ask for a list of names.\n6. Ask for references. Contact referrals whose projects are similar to yours. Ask specific questions regarding timeliness, response to concerns and requests, cleanup, and overall job quality. Ask the referral if you can visit the completed job, as your idea of a great job and someone else\u2019s idea may be different.\n7. Have the contractor provide a contract. READ THE FINE PRINT and do not assume anything. The contract should include a set of plans, which will help identify the details of your project.\nThe contract should also spell out:\n-The name and address of the contractor,\n-The contractor\u2019s license number, expiration date, license class and any specialty license information,\n-A detailed scope of work,\n-The price of the job, (preferably broken out into specific tasks or subcomponents of the project (including taxes, and contractor fees), and then tallied into a total price),\n-The time frame in which the project will be completed: start date, any milestones which might be important, and completion date,\n-Payment schedule, (example: 10% down- due within 7 days after signing contract, 40% to be paid within a week after passing the rough framing inspection, the 50% to be paid before the certificate of occupancy is issued),\n-Who will obtain the permit,\n-Cancellation rights of both parties,\n-Penalties for non-performance (if any),\n-The warranty, etc.\n-Any special materials or finishes.\nIf the contractor or sub-contractor will not provide you with this information, be very leery.\nThe Residential Building Process",

        "raw_content": "Sexual health is an important part of a man\u2019s life, no matter his age. It is also an essential part of a couple\u2019s foundation and contributes to the quality of life, as experiencing sexual problems can be distressing for men as it can challenge their sense of wellbeing and masculinity.\nSexual dysfunction refers to a problem that prevents the man or couple from having a satisfactory sexual relationship. However, it is important to know that sexual disorders are very common in men throughout all age groups.\nPremature ejaculation is recognized as being one of the most common sexual health issues among the adult male population. Estimates vary, but as many as one out of three men may be affected by premature ejaculation, making this problem even more prevalent than erectile dysfunction. Current studies suggest that the average man ejaculates after seven minutes of sexual activity with his partner. Premature ejaculation is defined as the recurrent inability for a man to voluntary control or delayed ejaculation caused by minimal sexual stimulation either before or within less than four minutes after penetration during sexual intercourse.\nThe problem of the man frequently ejaculating before his sex partner achieves orgasm often causes frustration and may result in sexual dissatisfaction for both parties. Therefore, this specific sexual dysfunction is associated to affect a healthy sex life since it has a major impact on the well-being of the individual as well as the partner and can lead to serious issues in a relationship. Research has found that many men who are unable to control the timing of their ejaculation often suffer from disappointment, shame, and embarrassment and may, in consequence, develop a high-stress level and performance anxiety.\nDespite the belief that aging solves the problem of premature ejaculation, the common dilemma is not related to maturity. Sometimes premature ejaculation turns out to become a lifelong problem that started by the first time the man was sexually active thus being a problem that can happen to boys and men at every stage of their sexual development. In teen boys, not being able to prolong climax, can simply occur due to over-excitement. But the prevalence remains steady for men in their 40ies and older, as men who have advanced into their middle-age years might have simply gotten complacent and used to their disorder.\nPremature ejaculation can be complicated and have a variety of causes, which may involve a combination of interpersonal, psychological and biological factors. These causes can include lack of confidence, distress and other forms of anxiety such as intense hypersensitivity of the penis nervous system can be a physical one.\nMany men experience symptoms of premature ejaculation from time to time hence it is not a cause for concern if it happens infrequently. However, the condition should be considered problematic when it happens repeatedly. If suffering from premature ejaculation, it is important to recognize that this condition is very much prevalent among adult men no matter the age group. But the inability to talk about premature ejaculation is a common dilemma and even if individuals are aware of the issue, some will be discouraged from speaking openly about it with their partner.\nIf you think you suffer from premature ejaculation and want to get your sex life back on track, seek help with a doctor who you can trust to have had similar conversations with many of his patients. A professional can check for possible causes and provide a wide range of assessments such as psychological counseling, advice on sexual techniques to delay ejaculation and medication as there are many treatment options available such as gels, sprays and oral medication.\nTagsoral medication Premature ejaculation psychological counseling Treatment",

Then, various types of small businesses and creative industries and artists have been moving in. Gradually, they turn the town into a creative community/cluster. However, since 2010, the Hong Kong Government introduced the Policy of Revitalization of Factory Buildings. This problematic policy has brought terrible destruction to the area and caused unaffordable property prices. The web site features creative folks in twenty-five studios working on various media.

        "raw_content": "Create Your Own Poker Luck\nFirst every player must accept that luck is short-term, but knowing that the long term will undermine its work. However, it is difficult to think of this vague concept that represents the \u201clong term\u201d when it comes to a horror that just happened, when we come to lose to the nightmare river card. Because 98% of bad beats occur at the river, which makes them even more cruel. So instead of complaining, let\u2019s analyze the luck factor.\nIn the moment of distress commonly known as the bad beat, the player often passes through disgust, anger, misunderstanding, a feeling of injustice that is rarely accepted. There is no one to blame and the lack of a scapegoat can bring a player to believe that he is doomed, or that the Goddess of Luck has deserted him. The problem is that bad beat often lead to huge pots lost such as a 200 BB pot on a 2 outers. And it is not clear that luck will catch up at some point in the future.\nNo one can say with certainty what the word long term means. Does it mean one hundred thousand or one hundred millions hands for the luck factor to level out? Nobody knows for sure, and it is possible to run bad in 10, 20 or more live poker events. In addition, each tournament has a different prize, so even with equal luck two equally skilled players will not win the same amount of money. So some players will get more chance than others during their lifetime, and there is nothing they can do about it. Or is there? There are two important things to do to create your own luck.\nGet the poker knowledge. Create a positive environment necessary for chance to grows, this is the power of positive thinking. It is necessary to have the ability to create it. Stop thinking you are an inveterate loser, because the more you lose, the more likely more bad beats situation will manifest themselves. Believe in your mastery of the game and in your lucky star. And use whatever incentives the rooms offer you, such as a PokerStars Bonus Code to get a 100% bonus.\nGet poker experience: There is no beginner\u2019s luck. Just that novice players tend to end up in incredible spots, where only luck can come to their help. As a result, we tend to believe that they attract good luck, whereas experienced players will be less subject to chance. Not true.\nSo if you take a bad beat from outer space worthy of the greatest miracles possible, remember one thing: if the chance was not part of poker, then this game would have no interest. You must accept to surrender your fate in the hands of Lady Luck. So yes it\u2019s hard when you lose a 99.5% favorite shot, but get used to it. Do not forget that poker is just a game, and you could still be way less fortunate than playing online poker.",

Every week for the past 60 years, doctors have used his antibodies to create the vaccine Anti-D, which is used to treat pregnant women with a blood disease that can lead to birth complications.

Women were having numerous miscarriages, and babies were being born with brain damage.\u201d\nThe condition, Rhesus disease, occurs when a pregnant woman\u2019s blood essentially begins attacking her unborn child\u2019s blood cells. It occurs when a pregnant woman has rhesus-negative (RhD negative) blood and her baby has rhesus-positive (RhD positive) blood inherited from his or her father. If a RhD-negative mother becomes exposed to the RhD positive blood\u2014 typically during a previous pregnancy with a RhD positive child\u2014 she may produce antibodies that eradicate the RhD-positive baby\u2019s foreign blood cells.\nThe Anti-D vaccine effectively prevents women with RhD negative blood from developing RhD antibodies during pregnancy.\nIn Australia, where 17 percent of women are at risk of Rhesus disease, Harrison has been the sole donor of these antibodies, saving millions of newborns\u2019 lives in the country, but also around the world. His own daughter ended up needing Anti-D, which resulted in his second grandson being born healthy.\n\u201cIt makes you feel good yourself that you\u2019ve saved a life there, and you\u2019ve saved many more\u2014 and that\u2019s great,\u201d Harrison said.\nFalkenmire called Harrison \u201cirreplaceable\u201d, however, the Australian Red Cross Blood Service is hoping another donor with the antibodies will come forward. Harrison can donate blood for only three more years, as the age limit in Australia is 81.\nI don\u2019t think anyone will be able to do what he\u2019s done, but certainly we do need people to step into his shoes. He will have to retire in the next couple years, and I guess for us the hope is there will be people who will donate, who will also \u2026 have this antibody and become life-savers in the same way he has, and all we can do is hope there will be people out there generous enough to do it, and selflessly in the way he\u2019s done,\u201d said Falkenmire.\nBREAKING NEWS: 2015\u2019s Brightest And Most Popular Meteor Shower Hits A Peak On August 12-13\nWhy The Air In Your Office Could Damage Your Health\nBlack Holes Maybe Exploding Into \u2018White Holes\u2019 and Release All Their Matter Into Space\nNorth Korean Satellite Tumbling And Useless",

        "raw_content": "Maldon Bridge Rd, Maldon via Picton\nSpanning the picturesque Nepean Gorge, the Maldon Suspension Bridge is one of only a few true suspension bridges in New South Wales. It was built in 1903 to replace Harvey\u2019s Crossing; a stone causeway situated a couple of hundred metres upstream.\nThe Maldon bridge differs from the normal suspension bridge in that the main cables leading from the towers are carried upwards to an anchorage in the sandstone cliffs above the bridge instead of downwards to ground level. A bushfire in January 1939 severely damaged the bridge and the original timber towers were replaced with identical steel ones. Maldon Suspension Bridge was closed to vehicle traffic with the opening of the F5 Freeway and the new Picton Road from Wilton in 1980.\nThe Maldon Suspension Bridge is closed to the public but can be viewed from a distance on Maldon Bridge Rd.",

This bulk model predicts the mixing ratio of suspended snow by solving an equation that considers the diffusion, settling and sublimation of blowing snow in a time-dependent mode. The bulk model results compare very well with those of a previous spectral version of the model, while increasing its computational efficiency by a factor of about one hundred. This allows the integration of the simplified algorithm into more sophisticated mesoscale models to estimate the thermodynamic tendencies arising from blowing snow sublimation and the effects of this process to the snowcover and the atmospheric boundary layer.",

        "raw_content": "(I write this piece with a bit of trepidation as I don't know how it will be taken, but I mean it with the very best of intentions and wishes for my ex-colleagues.)\nLooking over the list of my FaceBook friends, I am struck by how many of those I connected with during my brief assignment with WSO2 (Aug-Dec 2011) have moved on to pursue graduate programs of study at US universities. Just like Macquarie Bank in Australia was once called \"The Millionaire Factory\" for making so many employees rich through bonuses, this little company is rapidly becoming an Intellectuals' Factory. If they succeed in staying in business over the next decade, they will have seeded some very powerful and influential links in academia and the higher levels of the technology world.\nWhich brings me to my main point - does WSO2 have what it takes to survive the next decade? I believe they do, and not just survive but also move up to the next higher level. But to do that requires a kind of thinking I have not seen from the company's leadership so far.\nFor at least the last five years, I have been searching for a \"next-generation SOA company\". I thought I had found it with WSO2, but was quickly disappointed when I realised that this was a company with traditional SOA thinking and only a next-generation business model (free software and paid-for support). That's not quite what I was looking for, and to me, it explains why WSO2 hasn't yet hit the big time in spite of a decent product suite and some very smart, sincere and hard-working people. They're just not revolutionary enough for the market to take notice.\nOK, so what do I have in mind?\nThe view of SOA as being ultimately about SOAP-based Web Services in its implementation (OK, and some REST as well) is so last-decade. That view of SOA, I am convinced, is actually toxic to organisations. The impacts of that kind of SOA to agility and cost are entirely negative. (I have numbers to prove it but I could be sued by more than one ex-employer for breach of confidentiality, so you'll just have to take my word for it.)\nIf you sell traditional SOA with a different business model, you're not even half revolutionary. You're an interesting sideshow to the main game, and when the traditional SOA model gets discredited, as it largely has already, you get washed away in a way the IBMs and Oracles don't because of their size. (Which is a pity because I simply hate the IBMs and Oracles for what they have done to the industry - milked customers while providing them no benefit.)\nMy view of SOA is simple - it's \"dependency-oriented thinking\", and it applies to every layer of the organisation - Business, Applications, Information and Technology. Unfortunately, every SOA guru, after paying ritual obeisance to the notion that \"SOA is not technology\", proceeds to insult our collective intelligence by discussing Web Services technology (or lately, REST). It seems we just need to look away for a second after someone says SOA is not technology, and we find they're talking technology when we next look!\nSimilarly, I have a very jaundiced view of the term \"SOA governance\" as it is popularly applied. I suspect most SOA experts wouldn't be able to define the term in a readily comprehensible manner if they were tied to a chair and threatened with a copy of Lotus Notes. I also suspect most of them use the term \"governance\" for effect when all they mean is plain old \"management\".\nMy definitions of governance versus management are also simple - \"doing the right thing\" versus \"doing things right\" - in other words, the \"what\" versus the \"how\".\nAnd so, \"SOA Governance\" is nothing but the process of determining the right dependencies that ought to exist at all layers (Business, Applications, Information and Technology) and identifying the dependencies that do exist. \"SOA Management\" is about using these as a starting point and eliminating the dependencies that should not exist, formalising the ones that should exist into contracts, and ensuring that fresh dependencies do not creep in. That's all there is to SOA governance and practice, but the benefits are significant and will not escape attention.\nI talk about all this at some length in my InfoQ interview. [Update 29/11/2012: I've now also written a white paper on it, which interested folk can download from box.com.]\nThere is so much potential for a truly SOA-enlightened consultant to enter a client organisation and point out all the areas of tight coupling that are driving up their costs and risks and driving down their agility. Heck, if all that the consultant did was concentrate on tight coupling at the data layer, so much wasted potential could be unleashed. That's the power of SOA in the right hands.\nWhat I want to see in a next-generation SOA company is an organisation that is not fixated on technology but on education and consultancy, because it's SOA thinking that is so badly in need of a reboot. WSO2 is full of smart people, but they're focused on the wrong thing. It's not technology they need to be tinkering with. They need to apply their screwdrivers to the minds of IT and business folk at all levels. They need to hire fewer nerds and more business-savvy consultant types trained to think about dependencies. People with backgrounds in risk management, project management and contract law are especially good at thinking about every kind of dependency or \"fine print\" that could trip up an undertaking, and these are the kinds of people needed for SOA consultancy.\nAdmittedly, that's a bit hard to do when you do technology too well. Perhaps WSO2 ought to start by setting up a consultancy arm (which isn't focused on selling their own technology support services), getting that division to drive SOA thinking from the business layer down, and then watching it outgrow its older sibling as customers start to see its dramatic impact.\nLabels: SOA, WSO2",

These are covers I happened to take notice of this month, not necessarily those released this month.\nI love the whimsical look of this one, the colors, and the way the graphics stand out against others in this genre.\nWhat are these kids up to? How long of a joyride did they take? Where are they now, as they look up at the stars?

The fact that the cover has raised questions makes it a good one. Someone would pick this up and read more.\nThe colorful nature of this cover first pulls me in, then I get a glimpse of what the story might be like. The swirls and light tell me there is some fantasy involved, like a fable that will happily reveal to me a new character I can read about and enjoy.\nBeautiful colors, a bit of whimsy, and an inviting cupcake. What\u2019s not to like?\nThis one really drew my eye to it. I like the story this artwork tells, and I\u2019d definitely pick up this book in order to see what it\u2019s about.\nThis cover stands out because it just seems so different than the book\u2019s title. Is this woman really carefree? Is this moment in the pool when she decides that\u2019s it, I\u2019m going to toss all my cares to the wind and live differently? Or is this the picture of a woman drowning by her inability to let things go?\nThis cover stood out because it\u2019s different, but I also thought that with a little creativity it might be something indies could do fairly easily as well.

        "title": "Nuclear Power in Saudi Arabia - World Nuclear Association",
        "raw_content": "Home / Information Library / Country Profiles / Countries O-S / Saudi Arabia\nNuclear Power in Saudi Arabia\nSaudi Arabia plans to construct two large nuclear power reactors. This is scaled back from building 16 over the next 20-25 years at a cost of more than $80 billion.\nIt projected 17 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2040 to provide 15% of the power then, along with over 40 GWe of solar capacity.\nPlans for small reactors for desalination are well advanced on two fronts.\nIn December 2006 the six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) \u2013 Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar and Oman \u2013 announced that the Council was commissioning a study on the peaceful use of nuclear energy. France agreed to work with them on this, and Iran pledged assistance with nuclear technology.\nTogether they produce 650 TWh per year (2016), almost all from oil and gas and with significant annual demand growth. They have a total installed capacity of about 130 GWe, with a common grid apart from Saudi Arabia, though with negligible import and export. There is also a large demand for desalination, currently fuelled by oil and gas.\nIn February 2007 the six states agreed with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to cooperate on a feasibility study for a regional nuclear power and desalination programme, with Saudi Arabia leading the investigation.\nIn January 2019 the IAEA delivered the final report of its Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR) mission in Saudi Arabia, concluding that \"significant progress\" had been made, including the establishment of a legislative framework and development of nuclear infrastructure.\nSaudi Arabia\u2019s population has grown from 4 million in 1960 to over 31 million in 2016. It is the main electricity producer and consumer in the Gulf States, with 345 TWh gross production in 2016, of which 140 TWh (41%) was from oil and 205 TWh (59%) from gas. It consumes over one-quarter of its oil production, and while energy demand is projected to increase substantially, oil production is not. Its per capita consumption is about 9500 kWh/yr, heavily subsidised.\nGenerating capacity is over 60 GWe. Demand is growing by 8-10% per year and peak demand is expected to be 70 GWe by 2020 and 120 GWe by 2032, driven partly by desalination increase. However, in October 2015 the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KA-CARE) said: \u201cThe annual increase in domestic demand for energy ranges now between 6% and 8%. Forecasts indicate that the Kingdom will have to increase its generated power by 80 GWe by 2040.\" Saudi Arabia is unique in the region in having 60 Hz grid frequency, which severely limits the potential for grid interconnections \u2013 it has no electricity import or export.\nThe Ministry of Water & Electricity (MOWE) is broadly responsible for power and desalination in the country.\nIt had plans to install 24 GWe of renewable electricity capacity by 2020, and 50 GWe by 2032 or 2040, and was looking at the prospects of exporting up to 10 GWe of this to Italy or Spain during winter when much generating capacity is under-utilised (cooling accounts for over half the capacity in summer). The 50 GWe in 2032 (later: 2040) was to comprise 25 GWe CSP, 16 GWe solar PV, 4 GWe geothermal and waste (together supplying 150-190 TWh, 23-30% of power), complementing 18 GWe nuclear (supplying 131 TWh/yr, 20% of power), and supplemented by 60.5 GWe hydrocarbon capacity which would be little used (c10 GWe) for half the year. The nuclear target date has now been put back to 2040. In 2016 renewables targets were scaled back from 50% to 10% of electricity (by 2040?) as plans shifted more to gas, so that it would increase its share from 50% to 70%.\nIn July 2017 the cabinet approved the establishment of the Saudi National Atomic Energy Project (SNAEP), and new financial and administrative regulations for KA-CARE.\nSaudi desalination\nThe Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) operated 5.1million m3/d of desalinated water capacity in 2017 and is aiming for 7.3 million m3/d by 2020. Coupling desalination plants with power generation so as to use reject heat reduces energy requirements for desalination by about half. Hence dual-purpose or hybrid plants are favoured, as independent water and power production (IWPP) facilities. The country continues to install huge desalination capacity, much of it thermal multi-stage flash distillation (MSF) and multiple-effect distillation (MED), but a lot is reverse osmosis (RO), driven by electricity.\nThe Shuaibah/Shoaiba plant on the Red Sea coast is approaching 1.5 million m3/d capacity, Yanbu and nearby Rabigh 3 on the Red Sea supplying the Medina region have another 1.5 million m3/d. On the Gulf coast Ras Al Khair has over 1 million m3/d supplying Riyadh and Marafiq/Jubail is being expanded to over 2 million m3/d.\nThe first of three phases of the King Abdullah Initiative for Solar Water Desalination were expected to be operating by the end of 2013. Phase 1 involves construction of two solar plants which will generate 10 MW of power for a 30,000 m3/d RO desalination plant at Al Khafji, near the Kuwait border. Phase 2 will involve construction of a 60,000 m3/d RO desalination plant over three years to 2018, supplied by 15 MWe of polycrystalline PV. The RO plant will have six trains, allowing best use of variable power input. The third phase aims to implement the solar water initiative throughout Saudi Arabia, with the eventual target of seeing all the country's desalination plants powered by solar energy by 2020. One of the main objectives of this initiative under King Abdullah City for Science & Technology (KACST) is to desalinate seawater at a cost of less than Riyal 1.5/m3 (US$ 0.40/m\u00b3) compared with the current cost of thermal desalination, which KACST says is in the range Riyal 2.0-5.5/m\u00b3 (US$ 0.53-1.47/m\u00b3), and desalination by RO, which is Riyal 2.5-5.5/m3 (US$ 0.67-1.47/m3) for a desalination plant producing 30,000 m3/d.\nSaudi Arabia's General Establishment for Water Desalination (GEWD) is, over the four years to 2019, implementing new projects with a total production capacity of up to 2.5 million m3/d in the Makkah region and the eastern province.\nSaudi nuclear power plans: large units\nIn August 2009 the Saudi government announced that it was considering a nuclear power program on its own, and in April 2010 a royal decree said: \"The development of atomic energy is essential to meet the Kingdom's growing requirements for energy to generate electricity, produce desalinated water and reduce reliance on depleting hydrocarbon resources.\" The King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy (KA-CARE) was set up in Riyadh to advance this agenda as an alternative to oil and to be the competent agency for treaties on nuclear energy signed by the kingdom. It is also responsible for supervising works related to nuclear energy and radioactive waste projects.\nIn June 2010 it appointed the Finland- and Swiss-based Poyry consultancy firm to help define \"high-level strategy in the area of nuclear and renewable energy applications\" with desalination. In November 2011 it appointed WorleyParsons to conduct site surveys and regional analysis to identify potential sites, to select candidate sites then compare and rank them, and to develop technical specifications for a planned tender for the next stage of the Saudi nuclear power project. Three sites were short-listed as of September 2013: Jubail on the Gulf; and Tabuk and Jizan on the Red Sea. The Nuclear Holding Company was set up in 2013.\nIn June 2011 the coordinator of scientific collaboration at KA-CARE said that it planned to construct 16 nuclear power reactors over the next 20 years at a cost of more than 300 billion riyals ($80 billion). These would generate about 20% of Saudi Arabia's electricity. Smaller reactors such as Argentina\u2019s CAREM are envisaged for desalination. An April 2013 timeline showed nuclear construction starting in 2016.\nIn April 2013 KA-CARE projected 17 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2032 of total 123 GWe, with 16 GWe solar PV, 25 GWe solar CSP (to provide for heat storage), and 4 GWe from geothermal, wind and waste. About half the capacity in 2032 would still be hydrocarbon, with one-third solar following investment in that of some $108 billion. In addition 9 GWe of wind capacity would be used for desalination. In January 2015 the nuclear target date was moved to 2040.\nIn September 2013 both GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Toshiba/Westinghouse signed contracts with Exelon Nuclear Partners (ENP), a division of Exelon Generation, to pursue reactor construction deals with KA-CARE. GEH proposed its ABWR and ESBWR, while Toshiba/Westinghouse proposed the AP1000 and Toshiba's ABWR. Areva and EdF signed a number of agreements with Saudi companies and universities, and EdF signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia's Global Energy Holding Company (GEHC) for the creation of a joint venture whose first task would be to carry out feasibility studies for an EPR reactor in the country.\nIn January 2015 the government said that its target for 17 GWe of nuclear capacity would be more like 2040. This effectively meant that immediate plans were scaled back, and in 2017 KA-CARE announced that it was soliciting proposals for 2.9 GWe nuclear capacity, from South Korea, China, Russia and Japan. In November 2018 KA-CARE awarded a contract to Worley Parsons to provide consultancy services for the Saudi National Atomic Energy Project. This covers project governance, resource management, project services, training and compliance across the full scope of large plants, small modular reactors (SMR) and the nuclear fuel cycle.\nNuclear plans: small units\nIn March 2015 the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) signed an agreement with KA-CARE to assess the potential for building at least two South Korean SMART reactors in the country, and possibly more. The pre-project engineering study was expected to take three years, and in late 2016 was \u201cprogressing for the FOAK plant construction\u201d. In September 2015 further contracts were signed, which aim at building a partnership to establish knowledge infrastructure in SMART technology fields, such as designing and building the reactors and maintaining their mechanical and safety features. KEPCO Engineering & Construction is undertaking the pre-project planning and feasibility studies for KAERI\u2019s $130 million contract. SMART Power Co Ltd (established in 2014) will be the prime EPC contractor, with construction start expected in 2018.\nSMART is designed for electricity generation (up to 100 MWe) as well as thermal applications, such as seawater desalination, with a 60-year design life and three-year refuelling cycle. The cost of building the first SMART unit in Saudi Arabia is estimated at $1 billion. The agreement is seen by South Korea as opening opportunities for major involvement in Saudi nuclear power plans, and it also calls for the commercialization and promotion of the SMART reactor to third countries. KAERI has designed an integrated desalination plant based on the SMART reactor to produce 40,000 m3/day of water and 90 MWe of power at less than the cost of gas turbine.\nAlso in March 2015, the state-owned INVAP (Investigacion Aplicada) from Argentina and state-owned Saudi technology innovation company Taqnia set up a joint venture company, Invania, to develop nuclear technology for Saudi Arabia's nuclear power program, apparently focusing on small reactors such as CAREM (100 MWt, 27 MWe) for desalination. Taqnia is the technology arm of the Public Investment Fund.\nIn January 2016 KA-CARE signed an agreement with China Nuclear Engineering Corporation (CNEC) to build a high-temperature reactor (HTR) in the country, based on the HTR-PM now under construction in China by CNEC. A further cooperation agreement to this end, including localization of the supply chain and undertaking a feasibility study, was signed in March 2017. In May 2017 a joint working group commenced a formal feasibility study for the project, with a view to submitting it to the government later in 2017. In August 2017 China Nuclear Engineering & Construction Group (CNEC) and Saudi Technology Development Corporation signed an agreement for a feasibility study on using high temperature reactors for seawater desalination. The IAEA also reports a feasibility study on HTRs providing heat for the petro-chemical industry in Saudi Arabia.\nIn March and August 2017 China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and the Saudi Geological Survey signed agreements on cooperation on the exploration of uranium. CNNC said it would explore nine potential areas for uranium resources in Saudi Arabia over the next two years.\nThere have been media reports speculating on KA-CARE intentions for uranium enrichment, without confirmation or plausibility. The speculation is based on a possible nuclear agreement with the USA, and relates to regional politics.\nThe Saudi Arabian Atomic Regulatory Authority (SAARA) was set up to commence activities early in 2014. In May 2014 KA-CARE signed an agreement with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK) to assist in this by recruiting and training personnel and establishing safety standards. In November 2016 KA-CARE signed an agreement with South Korea\u2019s Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC) to promote cooperation in \u201cregulating nuclear safety, safeguards and physical protection, radiation protection and relevant research, as well as development in a manner to serve atomic energy programs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,\" according to KA-CARE. NSSC said that \u201cthe platform of cooperation\u201d was \u201cexpected to play an imperative role in facilitating bilateral cooperations in the region.\"\nA nuclear cooperation agreement with France in early 2011 seemed likely to advance French interests in the country\u2019s plans. In June 2015 France signed an agreement to undertake a feasibility study for building two EPR nuclear power reactors. Additional agreements were signed on nuclear safety training as well as on waste disposal.\nA mid-2011 nuclear cooperation agreement with Argentina was evidently related to smaller plants for desalination and the subsequent Invania joint venture.\nA November 2011 agreement with South Korea called for cooperation in nuclear R&D, including building nuclear power plants and research reactors, as well as training, safety and waste management. In June 2013 Kepco offered support for the localization of nuclear technology, along with joint research and development of nuclear technologies if Saudi Arabia purchases South Korean reactors. In September 2015 further contracts were signed, which aim at building a partnership to establish knowledge infrastructure in SMART technology fields (see March 2015 SMART agreement above).\nA January 2012 agreement with China relates to nuclear plant development and maintenance, research reactors, and the provision of fabricated nuclear fuel. A further agreement with CNNC was signed in August 2014, and in August 2016 KA-CARE signed an agreement with CNNC for human resource development.\nA June 2015 agreement with Rosatom provided for cooperation in the field of nuclear energy, including: the design, construction, operation and decommissioning of nuclear power and research reactors, including desalination plants and particle accelerators; the provision of nuclear fuel cycle services, including nuclear power plants and research reactors; the management of used nuclear fuel and radioactive waste management; the production of radioisotopes and their application in industry, medicine and agriculture; and the education and training of specialists in the field of nuclear energy. A further programme of cooperation was signed in October 2017 between KA-CARE and Rosatom, focused on small and medium reactors, and on building a new research reactor.\nIn October 2015 KA-CARE signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with Hungary. In October 2016 it signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with Kazakhstan, focused on fuel supply.\nIn March 2017 an agreement between KA-CARE and Jordan Atomic Energy Commission (JAEC) was signed for a feasibility study on the construction of two small modular reactors (SMRs) in Jordan for the production of electricity and desalinated water. No particular technology was mentioned.\nKA-CARE earlier said it was negotiating with Czech Republic, UK and the USA regarding \"further cooperation\". A full nuclear cooperation agreement with the USA is generally seen as vital to proceeding with Saudi nuclear power plans.\nSaudi Arabia has had a safeguards agreement in force with the IAEA since 2009, but no Additional Protocol.\nMuhammad Garwan, K.A.CARE, Nov 2013, Sustainable Energy Mix for Saudi Arabia\nKAERI 3/9/15, KAERI and K.A.CARE signed SMART PPE Agreement",

        "raw_content": "One adjective I've seen used more and more often to describe the postmodern economy, including and especially the publishing trade, is \"democratized\".\nIn the context of an industry, \"democratized\" doesn't mean that the industry has elected leaders. It means that the industry is more open to the general public than ever before. Financial barriers to entry have been eroded by modern technology, and industry gatekeepers are increasingly irrelevant (unless mandated by law).\nUber and Lyft have democratized the urban transportation industry, allowing just about anyone with a car to become a cabbie. Airbnb has democratized the hotel industry, allowing anyone with a mattress to provide travelers with a place to stay.\nWhat does a democratized writing and publishing industry look like? It's a field where the costs of publishing digitally are so low that anyone can make their ebook available worldwide with the click of a button. Audiobooks no longer have to be \"printed\" on expensive CDs and can be distributed in MP3 format to anyone with a portable MP3 device. Anyone with enough computer savvy to use software like GameMaker (which is a MUCH lower hurdle to clear than learning how to program from scratch!) can create an indie video game in their spare time and digitally distribute it to the general public.\nBook publicity and promotion are more democratized than ever before. While professional publicists are here to stay, and potentially invaluable, some indie authors take the DIY approach to getting the word out about their books.\nWith the advent of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, also known as the DMCA, copyright protection is also democratized, at least in the USA. If someone uses the Internet to infringe copyright, then indie authors, small publishers, or video content creators do not need to hire an expensive lawyer to get offending material taken down. Anyone can submit a legitimate DMCA claim to quickly and easily assert ownership of their own material.\nI have even seen \"DMCA\" informally used as a verb to describe this process, as in, \"I DMCA'd his YouTube video because he used material from my stream in it without my consent.\"\n(As an aside, I would like to share an excellent infographic about copyright infringement\nhttps://www.follio.com/image-manipulation-how-to-avoid-copyright-infingement/\nThis infographic specifically focuses on digital images, such as the images than are used to create ebook covers, but it's up-to-date and easy to understand.)\nJust this month, I added a link to Hummingbird Digital Media to the \"Ebooks\" section of the MBR website\nHummingbirdDM.com\nThey're a service that allows users to sell their ebooks and digital audiobooks with no up-front fees - just a share of the revenue whenever digital copies or sold. They proudly describe themselves with the statement, \"We're democratizing e-book and audiobook retailing.\"\nI have not used Hummingbird Digital Media personally (my job is to review books, not write them), but their very existence strips away one of the more imposing financial barriers to entry in the writing and publishing trade.\nNow for February's Link of the Month, which is also democratizing something that used to be done only by the movie industry, or by the biggest publishing houses for their most lucrative properties. It's Brilliant Book Trailers\nBrilliantBookTrailers.com\nan online business designed to create brief, professional-quality video trailers to advertise one's book. I should mention as a disclaimer that Don Sloan of Brilliant Book Trailers is a volunteer reviewer for the MBR; his reviews appear regularly in the \"Reviewer's Bookwatch\".\nFinally, February's Book of the Month is actually a sneak preview from our forthcoming March issue of the Library Bookwatch:\nAri Herstand, author\nRead by Ari Herstand with Derek Silvers\nHighbridge Audio Books\n270 Skip Jack Road, Prince Frederick, MD 20678\n9781681683348 $39.99 www.highbridgeaudio.com\nThe music business of today is radically transformed from what it used to be a generation ago. The rise of digital music, streaming, and online videos has made the music trade more democratized, more \"Do-It-Yourself\" than ever before. How To Make It in the New Music Business is the unabridged audiobook rendition of singer/songwriter Ari Herstand's guide to navigating the new path to a lifelong music career. From how to route a tour and negotiate contracts, to getting paid for Spotify and Pandora plays, to licensing music for commercials and television, and much more, How To Make It in the New Music Business lives up to its title. An absolute \"must-have\" for anyone aspiring to create music for a living, How To Make It in the New Music Business is highly recommended. 12 CDs, 14.5 hours.\nThat's all for the February 2017 Beth Cox Report. I don't like short months - they give me fewer days to do a full month's work!",

I was not disappointed.\nThe Last Roman throws a misfit group of soldiers from around the world back in time to post Augustan Rome (one of the most interesting periods with Caligula, Claudius and Nero). They must try to survive without affecting the timeline too much and try to find a way home.\nEdward Crichton creates a cast of characters that you empathize with balanced with just the right amount of comic relief. I have already purchased the second installment in the series, To Crown a Caesar, and I plan on adding the third, Hunter and His Legion.\nI would highly recommend The Last Roman to any history buff, especially anyone interested in alternate histories.",

        "raw_content": "There are hundreds of supplements, skin care products, and diets that claim to prevent the signs of aging from appearing. Some might even claim to turn back the clock. Unfortunately, we all know deep in our hearts that aging is inevitable. Regardless of our good intentions, there will be a decline in our physical abilities and prowess. Our skin and hair will change, and even our mental acuity could lessen. But is there any way to delay it, or maybe even stop it in its tracks?\nThere are ways to compensate for the aging process as it affects the different parts of our body. You might choose to use a heavier moisturizer to provide better protection for your skin. And you might even dye your hair or add extensions to give it a fuller appearance. We\u2019re keen to avoid \u2018looking\u2019 older, but we should be concentrating on how we feel as well. If you begin to lose your hair, you might feel less confident. And if your hearing or eyesight starts to fail, you may feel isolated from people and the things you love to do.\nA simple hearing test is all you need to determine how well you can hear. A doctor might find other underlying causes of any changes to your perception of sound. Damage to the ears cannot usually be cured, and age-related hearing loss cannot be prevented. However, there are hearing aids that can help improve your quality of life by allowing you to hear sounds at a quality and volume you can interpret. Some hearing aids are incredibly discreet, so you needn\u2019t tell anyone about them if you don\u2019t want to.\nAging can cause serious problems with your sight. Not everyone will be at high risk of cataracts. As they can start to impair your vision from the age of forty, it\u2019s worth keeping those eye test appointments. Some people are able to live with them and not notice any vision loss. Others choose to have surgery to reduce the effect of the problem. Other sight problems common with aging include long-sightedness. This can be improved simply by wearing reading glasses as required.\nYour joints are also more vulnerable as you reach those major milestone ages. We become less flexible as we age, and the muscles are less effective at protecting the bones and joints from our everyday movements. Fortunately, there are several ways you can protect your joints, bones, and muscles for the rest of your life. My moving every part of your body every day, you can keep the circulation going to those parts of the body, and even improve your fitness.\nStretching becomes more and more important as you get older. This will help your muscles and joints warm up before you take on more active exercises. Failing to do this could put you at risk of strains and aches. That could certainly put you off engaging in daily exercise! If you keep using your body and keep your posture strong, then you might reduce the risk of severe mobility issues as you reach senior ages. That will help you feel good every day. Keep moving!\nLabels: aging aging process exercise eye test fitness hearing hearing test skin care products supplements",

In the past I\u2019ve been teaching also a lot of the acting students, and hoping between student groups in the day and now I\u2019ve got one group intensively for six hours. I can see they\u2019re tired, it\u2019s intensive, and it\u2019s a small group, it\u2019s a smaller group than I\u2019ve had before. We\u2019ve had a bit more one to one experience, a more personalized dialogue in terms of what everyone is doing, what they want to do. Maybe sometimes the students feel a bit intimidated by this too because they\u2019re just vulnerable amongst each other and the teacher, but you know, there are moments when it\u2019s just really excellent and superb what the students are doing, and to a great depth of inquiry, and then there are times when they\u2019re losing focus, but there\u2019s nowhere to hide. The small group is a bit of a microscope, so that\u2019s potentially sometimes a bit hard for the students.\nIt was great to have the jam yesterday working with a mixed group, and I could see that the dancers were enjoying working with the theatre people and the dancers then felt on their home ground, you know moving free. As usual, it\u2019s exciting to be here. It\u2019s nice to meet other colleagues, which is perhaps more so now then when I\u2019m here during the semester, where everyone has more to do.This is a bit more guest teachers being around, and a bit more time for playing. That\u2019s enjoyable I\u2019ve met some lovely people, and I\u2019m looking forward to hearing abit more about them and sharing more with them. It\u2019s nice to have the intensive time with the dancers, six hours over five days, so we\u2019re still pacing it so it doesn\u2019t get so exhausting, and I can build every day on what i\u2019ve done the day before and can make it intensive and hopefully rewarding learning experience and artistic experience. It\u2019s more of immersion in a process than at times when I have them only for four hours of the whole week. This demands a greater stamina and I think we\u2019re developing a bigger stamina and in depth inquiry.\nIt\u2019s interesting to see that the students are at different levels of ability and learning, you know, some of the students, they\u2019re not saturated yet, but they might feel that they are, and that sometimes gets a bit in the way, but over the time I think the levels are evening out, maybe because we have that time. So it\u2019s that the students who are maybe less physically experienced catch up with the others who are more experienced. The ones who\u2019ve graduated already and then we\u2019ve got students in their first year. It\u2019s nice to see the eagerness of the more beginners. I think what\u2019s clear is that they\u2019ve worked here already for a couple of weeks, they love working together as an ensemble. They\u2019d rather do things in a group than in a solo, so that was a surprise. So I think how do I bring the ensemble back. They seem to feel comfortable in their little cohort. Even thought I said it\u2019s kind of vulnerable and exposing to be in such a small group, they are a good group as a group. They support each other.\nIs there a main focus of your Contact Improv and Feldenkrais work that you hope the students take away from this intensive?\nWell it\u2019s not really contact improv it\u2019s about Using somatic information and feldenkrais info as a resource for creation, how do you heighten your experience. Feeling your feet and your pelvis and ribs, and we\u2019re kind of going up, We\u2019re working from the legs up into the pelvis into the back into the rips into the spine into the skull. We have daily topics and we\u2019re exploring mobilizing and connecting in these particular body areas in such a way that the students access their own authority. Their way of moving is initiated by their own intention rather than cliched moves that they\u2019ve learned in front of a mirror by a teacher. It\u2019s learning to self direct. It\u2019s about the autonomous, creative student and that as a resource. Somatic autonomy, if you wish. That bodiness, but that self attitude as a resource to be a maker. So we were Combining these Feldenkrais explorations on our own and with partners where people interact with each other through touch. We\u2019re combining them with improvisation and also with compositional tasks. It\u2019s about learning to generate choreographic material from sensation and embodied experience rather than set styles or big ideas\nThe beautiful ambience, last night doing the jam in the outdoor studio and having the incredible environment around. That\u2019s just so important that we\u2019re in this extraordinary luxurious and exuberant Italian world, so that\u2019s very exciting. On top of that it\u2019s a very open and friendly and familiar place of people mingling and exchanging.\nIf you could describe what dance is to you in few sentences, what you would say?\nIt\u2019s a playful embodied activity that goes beyond being a functional human being. It allows us to explore and engage with us as poetic embodied beings. It can create a world for us that stands outside the rules of capitalist engagement with consumption, competition, gender, ways of being in the world, and domination. It\u2019s a wonderful alternative world we can learn from. From being in touch with our natural selves or a cultural self that stands outside of dominant culture.\nTags: Accademia dell'Arte, Dance Program, Guest Artists, Guest Faculty, Summer Dance Intensive, Thomas Kampe",

Flights depart Port Moresby on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and return from Sydney on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. The additional service to Manila operates on Saturdays.\nMr Foo said, \u201cWe are increasing frequency to provide our business and leisure customers with more flexibility and choice, while at the same time ensuring economic benefits flow to the wider community including the airport service providers, tourism and hospitality sectors\u201d.\nBoth the Manila and Sydney routes are operated by Air Niugini\u2019s Boeing 737 aircraft, which feature complimentary meals, beverages, personal in-seat video entertainment and generous baggage allowance for all customers.\nBy the end of this month, Air Niugini will also increase its flights to Cairns in North Queensland to 15 services a week to meet market demand and seat capacity.

        "raw_content": "Violence, Destruction, and Complicity: Mining Practices that Bring your Bling\nMembers of Ananya Dance Theatre began researching Gold and presenting findings in January 2011.\nThe first topic: Gold & The Democratic Republic of Congo was presented by former dancer Sherie Apungu. The northeast region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) holds hundreds of mines with a seemingly unlimited supply of gold. Are the miners and their supporting communities benefiting from these riches? Hardly. As one Congolese miner described it: \u201cWe are cursed because of our gold. All we do is suffer. There is no benefit to us.\u201d In fact, the discovery of the Congolese gold has created decades of violence and instability in the region, with various armed political factions battling for power and control.\nThe miners have no choice but to continue working regardless of who is in charge\u2014resistance of any kind is met with torture, rape, and murder\u2014 according to Human Rights Watch, \u201cmore than sixty thousand people have died due to direct violence in this part of Congo alone.\u201d Miners are forced to work in horrific conditions with a blatant disregard for safe mining practices.\nMultinational corporations continue to forge partnerships and support political leaders to ensure continued profit from the region while also ensuring continued violence. Human Rights Watch mentions AngloGold Ashanti\u2014one of the world\u2019s largest gold producers\u2014a company that publicly boasts a commitment to corporate social responsibility while patently ignoring the human rights violations that keep productions flowing.\nSimilar situations can be found virtually anywhere gold has been discovered. Dancer Brittany Radke presented her research on Gold in Chile, a country that was discovered as a result of the Spanish quest for gold. Gold mining in Chile began in the late 16th century, but recent satellite technology has led to the discovery of gold deposits beneath glaciers in the Andes Mountains. Mining of this gold has been linked to rapid glacial melt and is negatively impacting local farmers and poisoning the local water supply.\nWorldwide the desire to attain gold by any means seemingly outweighs the profoundly negative impact gold mining practices have on individuals and the environment. In the next issue, I will share what we\u2019ve learned about human desire and discuss the sex work industry in gold mining communities.",

        "raw_content": "HomeNews & InsightsThe African Context in the Digital Era\nAccording to BRICS-Africa partnership report, natural resources are the pillar of Africa\u2019s recent economic growth. In 2011, raw and semi-processed materials accounted for about 80% of African exports, compared with 60% in Brazil, 40% in India and 14% in China. Agricultural commodities, timber, metals and minerals, and hydrocarbons have accounted for approximately 35% of growth in Africa since 2000. BRICS countries \u2013 Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have continued to expand their trade volumes with Africa. For example, trade between China and Africa increased from $10 billion in 2000 to $190 billion in 2012. These countries are now the continent\u2019s largest trading partners with trade expected to exceed $500 billion by 2015 .\nThe Information and Communication Technologies market is also experiencing an astounding growth in Africa. ICT products and services accounted for 66 Billion dollars in 2009 for a subset of 10 countries representing approximately 65% of African GDP. IMF estimates that the ICT marketplace could be anywhere from 155 to 180 billion dollars in 4-5 years. This represents a strong local necessity for technology development and related services.\nThe exponential progress of Technology in general and Information Technology in particular is clearly creating new opportunities to birth Africa\u2019s transformation in the digital era. Coming late to industrialization gives Africa the opportunity to create a model that places a high premium on emerging technologies and be based on a profound understanding of their astounding progress and disruptive impact on global value chains.\nAfrica can not only to benefit from the order of magnitude of gain in effectiveness and efficiency in sectors such as infrastructure, energy and agriculture, but also to leapfrog certain stages of development directly into decentralized, personalized and digital modes of social services provision (healthcare, education, government services, etc...). Building a strong ICT backbone and strengthening the African digital and technological ecosystems becomes paramount as they are the foundations for 21st century\u2019s knowledge economy and are key enablers of sustainable innovation and new employment opportunities.\nAfrica should also actively work on reducing the cost of access internet, enhancing technology labor skills, creating incubation hubs that support technological innovation and entrepreneurship, and encouraging innovative business models in all priority sectors.\nBeyond Africa, connecting the billion African new minds and making them join the global central nervous system will give the world access to untapped intelligence, resilience, creativity, insight, and experiences that have been out of reach up until now.\nWatch the below world economic forum 2015 panel discussions on the internet and the digital economy ten years from now. The first panel gathers google chairman Eric Schmidt, Vodafone CEO Vittorio Colao, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, WEF Managing board Jim Hagemann Snabe and, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for a discussion on the digital economy in ten years. The second panel gathers nobel Laureate Konstantin Novoselov and Robert Schoelkopf for a discussion on future materials and technologies that insure the advancement of the digital economy.\nMore in this category: \u00ab World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2015 The New Digital Context\tBuilding Africa's Technological R&D Capacity Through Regional Clusters \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "What Are Membrane Roofs?\nCommercial roofs are generally flat. As such, these roofs don\u2019t have the slope seen in most residential homes that allow water, ice, and snow to slide off. Fortunately, membrane roofs, made of thermoplastic or modified bitumen, protect commercial roofs.\nIn 2009, construction at the AT&T Stadium, home to the famous Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, was completed for one of the most impressive roofs seen in history. The roof was the steepest retractable roof ever constructed, and it was protected by membrane roofing. If a roof that opens is protected by membrane roofing, then it stands to reason that other commercial roofs can benefit from this type of roofing material.\nThe Benefits of Membrane Roofing\nOne of the most important benefits of installing a membrane roof is its ability to save business owners money. These roofs are cooler; therefore, they keep the insides of a building cooler compared to other types of commercial roofing materials. With white membrane roofs, business owners get the added benefit of the roof reflecting the rays of the sun. By installing a membrane roof, business owners can reduce the use of their air conditioner during the summer months, which will reduce the cost of their business operations.\nMembrane roofs offer better protection compared to other types of roofing material. Constructed of rubber and made thicker than other types of roofing materials, these roofs are nearly impenetrable. It would take years and years for rain, snow, and sleet to penetrate a well-constructed membrane roof. With such durability, business owners won\u2019t have to worry about being plagued with constant roofing repairs, which can save them money in the long run.\nAt A Plus Roofing, we understand that choosing a membrane roof is an investment. However, it is an investment that business owners will see pay for itself many times over. If you want to learn more about membrane roofs and how they can benefit your business, give us a call. We have years of experience in the construction industry, and we are happy to provide you a solution for your construction project.\nTAGS: membrane rood, commercial roofing, flat roof\n\u00ab 3 Reasons Why You Should Get a Roofing Inspection\nWhy Flat Roofs are Better for Commercial and Industrial Buildings \u00bb",

You should also be aware of the fact that word of mouth, reviews and your reputation are the kinds of things that would literally make or even break your business. It is very important for businesses to establish the kinds of customer care services that are to the point and at the same time impeccable do ensure that read more now.\nAny business that struggles so much to please the customers should ensure that they look into different ways in which they could bring back the smile of their customers. From the article below, you get to learn of the factors that one should consider so as to give the customers the best of customer service experience.\nFirstly, train the staff correctly in key elements. Always remember that great customer services start with the employees. This is because they are usually at the forefront of any business.\nIn almost every organization, the employees are usually the ones to interact directly with the customers. Train your employees correctly because if not, they will miscalculate a step and that will be enough to make one customer think negatively about your business. The bad thing about a customer changing their perception of your business from positive to negative is the fact that the sales will be extremely low and you will also get very bad reviews. As the owner of the business, you should see to it that your employees are trained on elements such as communication, patience, consistency and compassion.\nThe second thing you could do to ensure that you give a very great customer service experience is to consider the entire customer experience. A lot of business owners usually believe that every time a customer leaves the store, hangs up the phone or makes the purchase, the necessary relationship ends from there.\nIf you are such a business owner, you need to know that you are actually very wrong. Business people should always ensure that the customer service is very consistent from before, during and even after the customers interact with the business or company. Before ninety percent of customers visit your company, they will read through the reviews first because it is from the reviews that they will get to know of your customer service experience.\nPrevious: Previous post: Doing The Right Way\nNext: Next post: Valuable Lessons I\u2019ve Learned About",

They form the hemoglobin in the blood, which carries oxygen around the body to the muscles and organs. Peptides are also the major building blocks for enzymes that catalyze chemical reactions of cellular functions, and provide the signals on the outer surface of cells can communicate their body systemically. Peptides have many uses, and most of them are necessary for life.\nSilk is a chain of peptides formed in a structure called a beta-pleated sheet. Silk is strong, light and durable because of the way and the peptides bind protein folds. Silk is produced from spiders and some worms. Peptide structure is essential for the survival of organisms to catch food and protection from the elements.\nCollagen has been a focus for cosmetic industries, as the cure for wrinkles. Collagen is a part of the skin that makes tight and firm as well as maintaining the appearance of wrinkles. The sun destroys collagen, causing it to die prematurely. Several companies offer collagen cosmetics products to reverse the progression of wrinkles. Moisturizing also protects collagen damage, leaving the healthier skin.\nHIV is an RNA virus that infects immune cells. More specifically, T cells are infected, inhibiting the body\u2019s ability to destroy invading microbes. Researchers at Purdue University have developed enzymes that prevent dimerization of the HIV structure. Inhibition of HIV bonds allows drugs that interfere with virus binding to cells, limiting the number of infections in people.\nPeptides are the building blocks of proteins, and proteins are hemoglobin. Hemoglobin circulates oxygen within the air inhaled tissue and organs within the body. However, researchers in the USA discovered that hemoglobin also helps in protecting bacteria from entering into the body.",

        "raw_content": "Flexible Bollards pass another test\nDespite being on the receiving end of a vehicular collision, the Flexible Bollard at Wilson Parking\u2019s Little Collins Street location remains a prime example of the strength and durability of the product from Australian Bollards.\nInstalled for the purpose of defending a Skidata Paystation, the bollard in question obtained a few scratches but managed to endure the full brunt of a car with ease, ensuring that surrounding assets were adequately protected.\nA model of functionality, the Flexible Bollard is purpose built to withstand collisions by bending on impact, which not only protects assets but reduces damage to the vehicle by serving as a warning to the driver that they have hit something.\nAs impressive as this latest display of quality is, it is not the only scenario where these kinds of products can be applied. Suitable for warehouses and traffic management situations, the flexible range from Australian Bollards is a versatile and reliable safety solution.\nThe implementation of 50 millimetre Stainless Steel Flexible Bollards in front of an escalator at Melbourne Airport in Tullamarine is another example of tailored application.\nThe preventative measures ensure that trolleys and heavy bags cannot compromise the escalator as well as deterring from passengers from attempting to carry this kind of luggage whilst using the escalator; both of which help to alleviate pedestrian traffic within the airport.\nThese same stainless steel bollards are also utilised in supermarkets, specifically for housing Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) antennas, the devices that identify when an item has been shoplifted at major stores including Woolworths, Coles and Aldi.\nAustralian Bollards aren\u2019t limited to steel units either. The Flexible \u2018Rubber\u2019 Bollards, manufactured using an innovative elastomeric material, is perfectly suited for use in warehouses due to the fact that they are not only protecting assets and staff but reducing vehicle damage.\nThis is particularly pertinent in factory environments where all three of these aspects are typically the responsibility of the company based in the warehouse. In the event of an incident, this situation would require a multi-resolution safety strategy, one that is readily available thanks to the Flexible Rubber Bollard.\nFlexible bollards can also be utilised in traffic situations beyond parking lots. By fixing a series of these bollards in a partition area on a highway, cars are secured against colliding with one another while limiting damage to the vehicle itself.\nFurthermore, the flexible nature of the unit means that a vehicle can come into contact with the bollard, ensuring the driver (who may be distracted or asleep at the wheel) will be aware of the collision without copping the impact that would result from smashing into a steel equivalent.\nIt could be safeguarding pedestrians, preventing road accidents or protecting assets. Any way you slice it, the flexible product range from Australian Bollards passes with flying colours.",

Unlike other car rental companies who made the strategic decision to hold onto their cars for longer, Avis and Barloworld took the decision to sustain it\u2019s current turnover of vehicles. Introducing these cars into the Avis Car Sales business for sale, meant Avis Car Sales has been able to profit significantly,\u201d explained Porteous\nAnother significant shift in the second hand car business, according to Porteous, is the growth of internet based transactions in both the retail and trade arenas.

They\u2019ve engineered the materials, the dimples, and when you marry that with the spring effect that you get off today\u2019s thin-faced metal drivers, you get impossible drives.\nWhat\u2019s wrong with that? Plenty. First of all, as the game gets longer, you\u2019re making some of the great golf courses irrelevant. Some of the great courses that might be 6,900 yards won\u2019t play in today\u2019s game because everybody\u2019s 300 yards off the tee. Today\u2019s pros can\u2019t even play a course that\u2019s less than 7,500 yards.\nThat doesn\u2019t make the game better. If you talk to some of the greats\u2014Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player\u2014they\u2019re adamant that we don\u2019t need 8,000 yard courses.

I put my hands up three years ago and said, \u201cWhy can\u2019t I buy a ball that goes less far?\u201d Nobody wanted to hear it. Three or four years ago, Nicklaus brought out a Cayman ball where the dimples went out, not in. You couldn\u2019t have hit that ball more than 250 yards no matter how strong you were. But the USGA wasn\u2019t interested.\nAnother reason the ball is a problem is that it encourages bad mechanics. When you want to sell golf equipment, you have to use this \u201cour clubs go farther\u201d and \u201cour ball goes farther\u201d line, like farther is always better. It\u2019s like a college baseball player using an aluminum bat; the tool gives you the illusion that you\u2019re better than you are, so you get sloppy. Amateurs don\u2019t always know where the ball\u2019s going, so if they hit it farther, they\u2019re just getting farther into trouble.\nThe last reason today\u2019s balls are bad is because they price people out of the game. How? Well, today\u2019s new courses might be 8,000 yards. That\u2019s more grass to water, cut, and maintain, which means membership fees have to go up, which means fewer people playing golf. That hurts the game.\nWith a shorter ball, we could build courses on fewer yardage in countries like India where they don\u2019t have vast areas of land, do everything in a sort of miniature way, and still enjoy the game. Even Tiger has come out and said the ball goes too far. We could bring the ball back by 20 percent and the game would not suffer for it.",

        "raw_content": "CIT Bank will be introducing a rate cap on RampUp and RampUp Plus CDs for accounts originating on or after June 1, 2015.\nThese CDs currently permit customers to increase the rate once during the term if the posted rate for the particular CD goes up. Right now, there\u2019s no maximum bump-up.\nIn an email to customers, CIT states that, for RampUp and RampUp Plus CDs opened or renewed on or after June 1, \u201cthe increase to the APY will be limited to twice the amount of the initial APY, less 0.05%.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\nCIT offers 1-year and 2-year RampUp Plus CDs, each with a minimum deposit of $25,000. Their current posted APYs are 1.20% and 1.35%, respectively.\nIn addition to the one-time step-up right, these CDs allow the customer to add to the deposit amount once during the term (which CIT can limit to $250,000).\nCIT also offers 3-year and 4-year RampUp CDs. Both have a one-time rate step-up right but not a deposit add-on feature.\nThe minimum deposit for the 3-year CD is $25,000, and the 4-year CD is $50,000. The maximum deposit for each is $250,000.\nTheir current posted APYs are 1.45% and 1.82%, respectively.\nThe bank provides an example of what would happen under the new cap with a CD having an initial APY of 2.00%.\nIf the posted APY were to increase to 3.98%, the customer could only bump his or her APY to 3.95%. If the posted APY were to increase to 4.00% (or presumably higher), the customer\u2019s new APY would similarly be limited to 3.95%.\nCIT offers no explanation of why it\u2019s imposing the rate cap at this time.\nPerhaps it expects CD rates to increase more sharply in the future than many of us do and wants to protect itself.\nWhatever the reason, however, it\u2019s CIT\u2019s product to do with as it wishes, and since the caps don\u2019t apply to outstanding CDs, it\u2019s not changing any rules retroactively.",

        "raw_content": "James Wallace Shaw, Sr., of Nahunta died January 19, 2016, after an extended illness. Dr. Shaw was born in Jackson, Mississippi on January 7, 1934, to Wallace Lafayette Shaw and O\u2019Nell Cockrell. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 61 years, Patricia L. Shaw, his son, James Wallace Shaw, Jr. and wife, Julia Nell of Perry and his daughter, Mara O\u2019Nell Shaw of Bishop. He is also survived by four grandchildren, Catheryn Shaw of Greensboro, North Carolina, Claire Shaw Fermin and husband, Jeremy of Hinesville, Peggy Peterson of LaGrange, and Jim Shaw, III, of Perry.\nDr. Shaw was a practicing pharmacist for more than fifty years. He was a graduate of Mercer School of Pharmacy and earned his Doctorate in Pharmacy from the College of the Americas. Prior to his work in this field, he served his country on active duty with the United States Navy, and retired with an Honorable Discharge from the Army National Guard after more than twenty-three years of service. During his active duty service, Dr. Shaw had the privilege in 1955 of participating in Operation Deep Freeze aboard the U.S.S. Glacier. This deployment was the last expedition by Admiral Richard E. Byrd to the South Pole. Prior to leaving active duty, he served as the Chief I.C. on the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Independence. After leaving active duty, Dr. Shaw completed his education and he began his distinguished career in pharmacy in South Georgia in 1965. He was first affiliated with his father-in-law, Dr. M.E. Long, at Long\u2019s Drug Store in Baxley and he became owner in 1968. He briefly retired from this field from 1976 until 1980, at which time he worked in Iraq and El Salvador in overseeing industrial construction projects. His love for pharmacy and the connection to his customers brought him back into the field in 1980 when he opened Nahunta Drugs in Nahunta. He was later affiliated with Satilla Institutional Pharmacy in Waycross, and several other independent pharmacies in the area. He remained active as a relief pharmacist until his death.\nIn his spare time, Dr. Shaw was an avid pilot, possessing a commercial pilot\u2019s license, and he always loved to fish, especially with his grandson, Jim. Dr. Shaw had no greater love than his Lord, his wife, and his family. He always took great pride in the accomplishments of his two children and daughter-in-law, and all of his grandchildren. Dr. Shaw impacted so many lives in the South Georgia area, and he leaves a legacy of honorable service to his country and compassion for his fellow man.\nVisitation was held Thursday evening (January 21, 2016) from 6:00 p.m. \u2013 8:00 p.m. at Southside Baptist Church in Nahunta.\nA funeral service was held Friday afternoon (January 22, 2016) at 1:00 p.m. at Southside Baptist Church with the Rev. Jerry Johns, the Rev. Charles Florey, the Rev. Marty Chase and Dr. Tim Catchings officiating.\nBurial was at 4:00 p.m. at Ebenezer Freewill Baptist Church Cemetery in Glennville.\nPallbearers were Jim Shaw, III, Jeremy Fermin, Keith Hayes, J.W. Edwards, Stetson Bennett, and Kenny McCarthy.\nHonorary pallbearers were Mark McGregor, Ronald Reagin, Dr. Lina Harper, David Herrin, Wain Brooker, Dan Smith, Chris Carbaugh, Randy Wheeler, and Terri Waters.\nIn lieu of flowers donations can be made to American Lung Association at 2452 Spring Rd S.E.

After the game, Shandong also sent a commemorative gift to Yi Jianlian at home. Today, another Mr. Wan Li will be produced at the home of Shandong, this time is the veteran Liu Wei. In the 10th round against Beijing, Liu Wei contributed 10 points, the individual CBA score reached 9998 points, and the level of 10,000 points was only 2 points.\nThe 38-year-old Liu Wei is the old captain of Shanghai.

In 2014, Liu Wei left Shanghai to join Xinjiang for two seasons, after which he played for Sichuan for two seasons. In the 2018 season, Liu Wei returned to Shanghai and remained the main force of the team. Liu Wei's scoring average is only 6.6 points this season, but he has the opportunity to complete the milestone. Not surprisingly, Liu Wei\u2019s 2 points in this game is not a big problem.

The previous two were Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian.\nThis became a coincidence, and Yi Jianlian and Liu Wei\u2019s 10,000 milestones were all completed in Shandong. However, Liu Wei said in an interview that he is more looking forward to the victory of the game than the milestone. Of course, Shandong's goal is also to defend the home, and strive to get a three-game winning streak. Shandong and Shanghai are only one win, and they are direct competitors in the playoffs. Shandong and Shanghai are not in a group. There are only two confrontations this season.

This season, the Shanghai team should not have much problem in the playoffs. The double foreign aid Fredette and Scola played stable and averaged nearly 60 points per game.

Switzerland is known for its money. The clocks, the gold, the chocolates, the secretive bank vaults and so on. Hence, visiting Geneva is generally only reserved for the very wealthy, or those who have managed to save up for quite some time. However, it would be a shame to pass up on the opportunity to visit such an amazing city, just because you can\u2019t afford to stay in a five star hotel. So, what can you do if you are a traveller on a budget?\nThe Unseen Side of Paris\nParis is a beautiful city and anybody that has never been there will immediately know where to go for the main tourist attractions. With the Louvre, the Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Seine and so on, there is no chance that you will be able to get bored. However, what if you wanted to go somewhere off the beaten track? Somewhere that not everybody goes to? What if you want to stay away from the hordes of tourists, flash photography and exorbitantly high prices? Is there anything in Paris that is worth viewing if that is what you are after? You will be happy to know that there are all sorts for you to do. Let\u2019s take a look at two options, the Paris Catacombs and the Chapelle Expiatoire.\nHow to Enjoy Your Greek Island Holiday on Under 30 Euros a Day\nWhen it comes to idyllic surroundings, fantastic beaches and superb hospitality, in the summer months the Greek islands offer many of the top destinations in Europe. Of course, Greece itself has been in the news a lot for its economic problems, and like the country, many of us who visit there for our annual summer holidays are looking for ways to tighten our belts. Happily, because the Greek islands made their name as a top destination for holidaymakers from around Europe by offering affordable package holidays back when these were a new thing, there is a strong tradition of businesses here offering great value for tourists. This means that as well as being able to get very cheap flight and accommodation packages, you can also manage to have a really good time without spending a huge amount while you are there.",

        "raw_content": "JD.com CEO returns to China after arrest in U.S. sexual misconduct case\nBEIJING (Reuters) - The CEO of JD.com Inc (JD.O), Richard Liu, has returned to China, the Chinese e-commerce giant said on Monday, days after he was arrested by police in the\nU.S. city of Minneapolis on suspicion of criminal sexual conduct and later released.\nPolice said an investigation was ongoing.\nJD.com, has said that the accusation against Liu, 45, was unsubstantiated.\n\u201cHe has been released without any charges, and without requirement for bail. Mr. Liu has returned to work in China,\u201d the company said in a brief statement late on Monday, referring further questions to two U.S.-based lawyers representing Liu.\nThe lawyers, based in Minneapolis, could not immediately be reached by Reuters for comment.\nMinneapolis police said on Sunday that \u201can active investigation\u201d was underway, although it was possible for the billionaire founder of the firm to leave the United States.\nReuters has not been able to reach Liu for comment.\n\u201cWe don\u2019t know if there will be charges or not because we haven\u2019t concluded an investigation,\u201d John Elder, a spokesman for the Minneapolis Police Department, told Reuters on Sunday. He declined to provide details of the arrest.\nIn addition to making Liu the highest-profile Chinese businessperson to be accused publicly of sexual misconduct, the case has raised concerns that loss-making Nasdaq-listed JD.com could face difficulties making decisions due to its unusual governance structure.\nThe company is backed by Walmart Inc (WMT.N), Alphabet Inc\u2019s (GOOGL.O) Google and China\u2019s Tencent Holdings (0700.HK).\nJD.com\u2019s rules require Liu, who holds nearly 80 percent of the company\u2019s voting rights, to be present at board meetings for the board to make decisions, although it was not immediately clear if he has to be physically present or could participate by teleconference.\n\u201cI\u2019m not aware of any other company that has similar rules,\u201d said Chris Leahy, co-founder of advisory firm Blackpeak and a corporate governance expert.\n\u201cIf the board isn\u2019t quorate without Richard Liu, if he is unable to attend, and if there are no other provisions that offer a way round that, the company could become ungovernable,\u201d he said.\nThe Financial Times, citing two people with direct knowledge of the matter, reported that the case involved Liu, who is a student in the University of Minnesota\u2019s doctor of business administration program, and a Chinese student at the university.\nWhile the doctoral program primarily takes place in Beijing in partnership with the prestigious Tsinghua University, the students were in the Twin Cities last week as part of their training. According to its website, the program is designed for top-level executives working in China, and the average age of participants is 50.\nThe complaint against Liu was made just before midnight local time on Friday, and he was released just after 4 p.m. on Saturday, according to the Hennepin County Sheriff website.\nUniversity spokeswoman Emma Bauer referred questions to the Minneapolis Police Department.\nChina\u2019s foreign ministry said its consulate in Chicago was closely watching the situation.\n\u201cWe are currently seeking information and verification from the relevant U.S. departments,\u201d foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular Beijing news conference on Monday.\nChinese social media was abuzz over the arrest, with a thread on Liu\u2019s police booking photo ranking as the most discussed topic on China\u2019s Weibo platform on Monday morning, read more than 250 million times.\nJD.com, one of China\u2019s tech heavyweights, competes with larger rival Alibaba Group (BABA.N), and Liu has a net worth of $7.9 billion, according to Forbes. The company, worth some $45 billion, has seen its stock lose 24 percent of its value this year amid concerns of weakening growth momentum.\nThe company has been in and out of the red for the past year and last month reported a second-quarter net loss of $334.4 million - almost twice market estimates - reflecting increased investment.\nLiu built JD.com from scratch. In 1998, he spent 12,000 yuan ($1,760) of his savings to lease a four-square-meter retail space in Beijing\u2019s technology hub of Zhongguancun, setting up a firm that would become JD.com. He is also known for his marriage to Chinese internet celebrity Zhang Zetian.\nZhang, described by Chinese media as 24, shot to fame while a student in 2009 when a photo of her holding a cup of milk tea went viral, giving her the nickname \u201cSister Milk Tea\u201d. She met Liu while studying in the United States and married him in 2015.\nIn July, a court in Australia denied Liu\u2019s efforts to block the release of his name in association with a sexual assault trial in which he was not accused of any wrongdoing, according to a court document.\nIn that case, Liu had hosted a party in late 2015 at his luxury home in Sydney, after which one of his guests accused another guest of sexually assaulting her at a hotel. The defendant was found guilty of seven offenses, according to a court document.\nTrade in JD.com shares is set to resume on Tuesday as U.S. markets are closed for the Labor Day holiday on Monday.\nReporting by Cate Cadell in BEIJING and Barbara Goldberg in NEW YORK.

        "title": "Sexual Exploitation of a Child - Pittsburgh Criminal Defense Lawyer",
        "raw_content": "Charges of sexual misconduct with a child are among the most devastating charges anyone can face. Tragically, false or unfair charges are a regular occurrence. And, in the wake of several high-profile cases involving universities, churches and other respected organizations, a defendant may be deemed guilty until proven innocent. Attorney Blaine Jones understands the embarrassment and anger that often result when someone is accused of acting inappropriately. The immediate reaction is to lash out, proclaim innocence, and talk to law enforcement.\nTragically, defendants have too often harmed themselves before picking up the phone and calling an attorney. Investigators want you to talk \u2013 often need you to talk. Do yourself a favor and do your talking to your defense attorney. You are not going to talk yourself out of trouble in such a case. Authorities are going to make an arrest out of an abundance of caution \u2013 even if the arrest is unwarranted and not supported by the evidence.\nDefense of Sex Crimes Involving Children in Pittsburgh\nUnder Pennsylvania law (\u00a7 6320), sexual exploitation of a child under 18, is defined as procuring a child for the purpose of sexual exploitation. The law applies to actual or simulated sexual activity or nudity for the purpose of stimulation or sexual gratification. Sexual exploitation of a child is a second-degree felony punishable by 5 to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.\nTypes of child sexual exploitation cases include:\nPossession, distribution or manufacturing of child pornography\nExtra-familial child sexual molestation\nOnline enticement\nChild Exploitation Defense & Federal Law\nFederal law also makes it illegal to employ, use, persuade, induce, entice or coerce a minor to engage in sexual conduct. The law also applies to those transmitting images into the United States, either electronically or through the mail. Receiving, exchanging, buying, distributing or reproducing such images is likewise prohibited under federal law. These charges are often punishable under federal law because of the interstate nature of the offense. Conviction is punishable by 15 to 30 years in prison. Those with a previous conviction face a sentence of up to 50 years. The U.S. Justice Department reports some 50,000 hotline tips per year and believes it's a growing problem.\nChild Exploitation & Promoting Prostitution in Pittsburgh\nThese cases can also involve charges of promoting prostitution, which can also result in federal sentencing. Authorities continue to push such cases by identifying those they believe responsible for prostitution rings \u2013 contending pimps target malls, bus stations and other locations in an effort to entice young runaways into the trade. Such \"investigative\" efforts often unfairly target a defendant and should always be aggressively defended against. Such cases can also involve visa and immigration issues.\nThe continued focus on cracking down on the perceived problem too often leads to unfair arrest. And, while the natural reaction is for a defendant to attempt to talk his way out of trouble, that typically only exacerbate the problem. Many times, the strongest evidence against a defendant in court is his own words as he attempted to defend himself. No urge is stronger than the urge to defend yourself, especially when allegations involve criminal sexual conduct against a child. Unfortunately, authorities know this and will use it against you. In some cases, charge may not even be possible if a defendant simply exercises his rights to remain silent and contact an experienced Pittsburgh criminal defense attorney.",

        "raw_content": "The fire was burning bright for the Northshore Public Education Foundation last Wednesday.\nDuring its \u201cLight a Fire for Learning\u201d benefit luncheon at the Lynnwood Convention Center, the sold-out crowd of 350 people were treated to an array of uplifting talks by school-board officials and keynote speaker Eric Liu, who gave the attendees a boost with his stories about the art of mentoring.\nThe foundation is a nonprofit organization that \u201craises money to fund academic excellence for every student in the Northshore School District,\u201d according to its brochure. Along with its Elementary Math Initiative and Secondary Advanced Learning project, the foundation has given more than 200 grants to teachers to propel their students to new learning heights in math, science, literacy and art.\nSpeaking of the arts, if other district students can match or outdo the Canyon Creek Elementary sixth-grade marimba ensemble\u2019s performances at the luncheon, then the foundation is on the right track.\nAnd moving fast, I\u2019m sure.\n\u201cThe district helped fulfill the needs of my child, and we plan to help fulfill the needs of other children,\u201d said luncheon co-chair B-Z Davis, whose daughter now works at Children\u2019s Hospital.\nAdded Liu in his earlier talk: \u201cShow them the way, and they will stand \u2014 they will rise.\u201d\nIt\u2019s small catch-phrases like these that can make people feel like they can do anything they set their mind to. It takes a few seconds to say them, but the message can last a lifetime.\nI can talk for hours about speeches or song lyrics that have uplifted me and others over the years, but let\u2019s let Liu pitch in his two cents \u2014 more like $1 million to many people\u2019s ears.\nHe spoke of people connecting with each other and working toward a common goal, much like the foundation\u2019s dream of educating our youths.\nThe author touched on purpose (\u201cby saving someone, you can save yourself\u201d), failure (\u201cturn it into the stuff of new invention, creation\u201d) and possibility (\u201cit\u2019s never too late\u201d).\nHe told uplifting stories all across the board, and got people thinking, talking and even laughing.\nHe lit a fire in people\u2019s minds, and gave them hope to carry on and make life great for local students \u2014 and themselves.\nHe encouraged us to continue the education dream of Karen Forys and Karen Baker, two major school-district forces who passed away over the last year. Their husbands accepted Torchbearer\u2019s Awards for them.\nSome tears were shed during the husbands\u2019 speeches and slide show honoring the two women.\nThere were also tears of joy for their accomplishments \u2014 and the students\u2019 present and future success.",

        "raw_content": "No Cost Re-do\nAs promised, the details from last Friday's fun.\nHere is the living room before:\nAs you can see, it's a big room with a fair amount of light coming from the large picture window. The color on the walls is light and bright and the carpet is very neutral. The furniture is currently lining the perimeter of the room, which definitely shows off the size of the room.\nThe client expressed an interest in having a casual living room with plenty of room for her kids to play. The living room also provides access to the front door, TV room, master bedroom, stairway and dining room therefore the traffic flow had to be a top priority. The artwork on the far wall is her favorite piece in the room and she is looking to get rid of the over sized chair and ottoman.\nSo, taking all this into consideration we worked on a new layout using her existing furniture and accessories. We talked about pieces that could eventually move into this space as well as inexpensive ideas to modernize what she has.\nFirst, I moved the couch out from under the picture window to perpendicular to the fireplace. Next, we temporarily placed the oversize chair opposite the couch, with plans to reupholster an existing loveseat to go in that space in the future. The new arrangement focuses on the two focal points of the room, the fireplace and the picture window; it allows for easy access to all the other rooms; offers a casual spot for conversation as well as plenty of space for the kids to play. Taking cues from her favorite artwork and an existing area rug, the color scheme has started to come together - steely blue greys with hints of coral. And finally, the more modern photo over the fireplace was switched out for a mirror to reflect even more light into the space (unfortunately, we didn't get around to hanging it before I left).\nEasy updates that won't cost a lot of money: throw pillows incorporating the new color scheme, new lamp shades, bigger area rug and of course, accessories for the mantel and tables.\nI think the new arrangement works well for this space and meets all the clients' needs. Not bad for a no cost re-do!\nTags before and after, client work, s\n\u2190 Hand Embellished BlindA First Time for Everything \u2192",

The band spawned in the realm of musicians/artists such as Black Sabbath, Frank Zappa, The Dictators, and The Stooges. The earliest lineup consisted of Wino, bassist Mark Laue, guitarist John Reese, and drummer Dave Flood. In 1983, Wino took over vocal duties and the band became a three-piece to record the Sodden Jackal EP.\nThe band broke up in the late '80s after Wino moved to California to join Saint Vitus. At that time, a German label, Hellhound Records, and the booking agency that had signed Saint Vitus, released The Obsessed, originally recorded in 1985, prompting Wino to reform THE OBSESSED. After multiple lineup changes, the band signed to Columbia Records in 1994 to release their third and final album, The Church Within. Despite highly acclaimed reviews, THE OBSESSED would breakup following the release, seeing Wino forming Spirit Caravan (then Shine) and other projects.\nIn September 2011, THE OBSESSED returned to the stage at Roadburn Festival with The Church Within's legendary lineup (featuring Wino, Greg Rogers, and Guy Pinhas). The band played a few more reunion shows over the next couple years at Hellfest Open Air 2012 and Maryland Deathfest XI in May 2013 with bassist Reid Raley.\nWino announced the full-time return of THE OBSESSED in March 2016 and the band's official signing to Relapse Records to record the follow up to The Church Within. The new lineup originally consisted of Spirit Caravan bassist Dave Sherman and Wino's longtime friend and former road crew member Brian Costantino (drums). On October 31st, 2016, Wino announced another new lineup change for THE OBSESSED, including Bruce Falkinburg (bass) and Seraphim (guitar), making that the first time the band had been a four piece in over thirty-five years.\nEarly this year, THE OBSESSED unleashed Sacred, the band's first studio album in over twenty years. With renewed energy and purpose, THE OBSESSED sounds heavier and more relevant than ever before. On Sacred, the band doubles down on enormous, heaving riffs and pummeling low-end across twelve tracks of eternal doom. Rounded out by Wino's lyrical honesty and iconic throaty vocals, Sacred is an album that further pushes THE OBSESSED into the annals of heavy metal history, well worth the two-plus decade wait. The band will perform once again as three piece featuring Wino, Reid Raley and Brian Costantino.\nhttp://www.Instagram.com/theobsessedofficial\nhttp://www.Twitter.com/theobssesedofc",

MBA degrees are highly sought after in the business world and have long been the gold standard for many successful business executives. Admission to MBA programs, which are offered at universities and colleges, is competitive. Most programs require the student to have a bachelor\u2019s degree, but it does not have to be in business. Other admittance requirements include completion of lower division business courses such as accounting, marketing, management, finance and economics and a certain level score on the graduate management admissions test known as the GMAT. Grade point average (GPA) also plays a big factor in the decision as students with good academic records are more likely to be admitted.",

        "raw_content": "608 Randolph Street: As I Remember It\nCarolyn May Cummings (Author)\nRandolph Street exists in a small Iowa town. It is the setting for stories of love, history, nostalgia, tragedy, and humor of five generations of the author\u2019s family.\nThere were surprises in store for the author, her brother, and sister as they cleared out the family home at 608 Randolph Street, the house where their parents had lived for almost sixty-nine years. Her stories about family, friends, and events are set against an earlier time in America. You will meet the people who lived in the small community during the 1940s and 50s, read about the town with the red brick streets, and meet Carolyn\u2019s extended family and the neighbors on Randolph Street. You will understand the nostalgia she feels for the little town of Bedford, Iowa, the small town with the big heart.\nA must-read, especially if you're a midwesterner , 04/24/2015\nReviewer: Catherine Brown\nI found Ms. Cummings stories to be not only extraordinarally charming and well-written, but I wanted to just keep reading on and on. Her writing is so descriptive that I could easily envision myself as one of the participants. If you are a midwesterner and especially from a small town, I can guarantee that you will be able to relate to so many of the stories. Ms. Cummings stories later in the book are so heart-felt and provided such love and dignity to both of her elderly parents. Her gift for writing is just that; a rare and exceptional gift. I highly recommend her book to everyone, young and not so young.",

        "raw_content": "You need to diversify your portfolio in order to minimize your risks and make you more immune to market fluctuations. You need to mix stock funds with bond funds and also include a mix of domestic and overseas funds. This will not only protect you from downturns in a particular segment of the financial market, but also from fluctuations in the market in your particular country.\nInvesting in different types of funds in different countries would give you a more stable portfolio.\n2. Rebalancing Mutual Funds Portfolio\nYou need to rebalance your funds every year to keep your portfolio from being exposed more to the risks of a particular sector of the market. No individual fund should be allowed to become an outsized portion of portion for your portfolio. The more space a fund occupies, the more risks you would face from the downturn in that particular fund.\nMany people go after past performances and invest in funds whose performance has been good in the past. However, they fail to realize that past performance is not a good indicator of a fund\u2019s ability to perform well in the future. For instance, a lot of investors got attracted to the IT boom in the late 90s and invested all their money in tech stocks.\nBut when these stocks collapsed in during the early part of the new millennium, most of them lost huge portions of their investments.\nTherefore, rebalancing should be an important part of your investment strategy. It will help you minimize your risks and give you more consistent returns.\n3. How to Simplify\nIf you wish to keep your investment simple and easy, which in essence is what investing in mutual funds is all about; then you can go for simpler funds like Index Funds.\nThese funds are designed to closely follow the performance and indexes of a particular market. Since they are not managed by fund managers, their maintenance requirements are low, which result in lower costs.\nSo, this essential is how to buy mutual funds. Diversify, rebalance and invest in simple funds. Find here our other blog posts about buying mutual funds.",

I feel better, look better and sleep better; there is not one single aspect of my life that has not improved.\nThe CalorieKing Australia online food diary has changed my life. The forums have been a fantastic support too.\nKirrily lost 31.6 kg\nI really just want to feel 'normal' - I want to buy clothes from regular stores, walk without tiring and be able to take my kids to the park and play with them instead of watching.\nI want to dance at my daughters' weddings, and know that each and everyday I am acheiving all that I can. I want to feel happy, be less self conscious in groups, and be able to have the confidence to meet new people and do new things.\nI don't really know what number I want to see on the scales; I just want to be able to look back and say, \"I tried my best and I am happy with my efforts.\"\nI want to see my grandchildren into there 30s and know that I am fit and healthy. I don't want to waste my life. I would like to be able to feel strong, and achieve things I never thought possible. I don't want to get diabetes, heart disease or cancer. I don't want to be a burden to my children. I want to surprise people when I tell them my age. I want to be able to go on a slippery dip and rollerblade. I want to go back to horseriding and not worry about killing the poor animal.\nI try to record all my food and be realistic about portion control. My whole family has changed their eating habbits - we now eat abourt 10 serves of veggies a day. We eat wholegrains and drink plenty of water. We never buy take-away food any more, and if we have a treat, such as ice cream, we walk to the store to buy it.\nEveryday we try to find some form of physical activity to do to keep us active and happy. I have a personal trainer and I visit a dietitian every few months.\nWithout the help of CalorieKing Australia I would have given up months ago, as I simply did not have a the tools to stay motivated. Together my husband and I have lost over 50 kilos, and the difference is amazing!\nAs a busy working mum with three children, I find that my biggest challenge is having enough time. I normally use Sundays to plan my week and prepare some snacks to keep my head out of the fridge.\nFood has been an issue for me most of my life, but in the past few months I have tried to find other avenues to occupy myself, such as exercise. I also find that if I don't plan my day and week, my weight loss plan reduces, and it is much harder to get back on track. Calorie amnesia is a huge challenge for me, as I have been a picker my whole life. Now I can see that every bite does count.\nKeep a food diary, find exercise you like and even do some you don't like...exercise is an acquired taste!\nWeigh your food, make time for yourself and look at weight-loss not as deprivation, but as a gift - the gift you give yourself so you can have a better life.\nMake sure you visit the CalorieKing Australia forums and take advice from people who have been in your shoes. Before I joined CalorieKing Australia I believed I was alone, but now I have friends who care about me as much as I care about them. They inspire me and amaze me with their resilience and determination. Believe in yourself - if I can do it, you can too!\nMy children are healthier, and my husband and I are happier. I used to think if I could just lose weight I would look better and feel better, now I know it's the other way around. I look better because I feel better.\nThe CalorieKing Australia online Food and Exercise Diary has changed my life. Recording my food in a journal used to be a nightmare because I never knew what a 'serving' was. I would eat all day and then discover I had over-eaten; now I plan my day before it happens.\nThe forums have been a fantastic support too. When I am not perfect there are people who dust me off and stand me back up after I fall down. When I tell them I have failed, they set me straight. They don't expect me to fail, they know I will succeed - maybe not this week or this year, but one day I will achieve all that I aim for.",

        "raw_content": "Hovdey: Most everyone loves a parade\nBarbara D. Livingston\nCigar takes a final turn in his farewell at Madison Square Garden in 1996.\nOne surefire distraction from harsh reality is the sight of a great horse on parade. Strolling majestically in front of fans, free of parimutuel responsibilities, the great horse is allowed to be appreciated in real time, up close and personal.\nSanta Anita Park will provide such an experience Saturday, when Justify, the freshly minted Triple Crown winner, ambles over from his studio apartment in the Bob Baffert barn for a turn in the afternoon sun. The San Carlos Stakes also is on the program, but the big red colt is the real draw.\nSuch displays of affection have occurred often enough that a chapter could be devoted to champions on parade. The most comprehensive display took place at Santa Anita in early 1973, when it dawned on management that five of the eight Eclipse Award champions of 1972 resided in backstretch stalls. Orchestrated by publicity chief Dan Smith, the parade featured Autobiography, Typecast, Susan\u2019s Girl, Chou Croute, and Cougar II, parading nose to tail before a packed house.\nSecretariat, the 1972 Horse of the Year, was otherwise occupied in Florida getting ready for what would be his Triple Crown campaign. He would enjoy a farewell parade of his own at Aqueduct on Nov. 6, 1973, nine days after his final, triumphant race in the Canadian International. It was Election Day, a Tuesday, and 33,000 fans turned out to watch Secretariat jog to the quarter pole and back under Ron Turcotte, after which the big guy grabbed a mouthful of Penny Chenery\u2019s bouquet in the winner\u2019s circle.\nZenyatta\u2019s West Coast popularity required farewell appearances at both Santa Anita and Hollywood Park. Evening Attire, that grand old gray, was honored upon the conclusion his 65-race career with a ceremony at Belmont Park. Best Pal, retired winner of the first Pacific Classic, led the post parade for that Del Mar event until his untimely death, while Fourstardave, a Saratoga institution, celebrated his retirement with a visit to Siro\u2019s Restaurant near the track, where he was presented the key to the city \u2013 made of yummy alfalfa.\nFor all their pomp and popularity, the parading of retired Thoroughbred racehorses can present a challenge. Even with diligent preparation and handling, old pros with keen memories can get the wrong signals.\nJohn Henry had been in genteel retirement at the Kentucky Horse Park when he was paraded at Keeneland in April 1986. After the 11-year-old gelding nearly tore down a section of stands, owner Sam Rubin sent him back into training with Ron McAnally in California. McAnally, thinking only of the horse, gave John Henry several months of equine spa treatments before Rubin announced a re-retirement, after which John Henry behaved like a perfect gent during farewell parades on Breeders\u2019 Cup Day at Santa Anita and on a rainy night at Meadowlands.\nFourstardave was not so fortunate. Age 17 and retired to a Florida farm, he was returned to Belmont in October 2002 to be the marquee name atop a day featuring fellow New York-bred runners. The Tuesday before the event, however, trainer Leo O\u2019Brien had to deliver some terrible news.\n\u201cHe had spent the last 10 days riding out at the farm, so this wouldn\u2019t be so stressful on him,\u201d said O\u2019Brien, who welcomed Fourstardave back to his Belmont barn. \u201cI sent him out for a little jog this morning at 10:30 and he had a heart attack and died. It\u2019s tough on these old horses when you move them around like that.\u201d\nKelso was 26 when he was paraded at Belmont Park on the day of the 1983 Jockey Club Gold Cup, a race he had won five times. The towering Forego, half Kelso\u2019s age, made for the best two-horse parade in racing history, with eight Horse of the Year titles between them. The crowd of 32,000 responded accordingly.\nBut then, back home in Maryland the following day, Kelso began showing signs of abdominal pain. He died that evening.\n\u201cWe\u2019ll never really know what killed him or what the effect of the trip to New York was,\u201d Dr. Alan McCarthy told the New York Times. \u201cAll sorts of things can cause colic. Stress is one of them and that had to be a stressful trip for him. But he was a very, very old horse.\u201d\nJustify is a very young horse, in the full bloom of racing fitness, and as long as Baffert\u2019s people have a good hold the big colt should put on a fine display for those lucky enough to be at Santa Anita. Few horses have been more pleasing to the eye.\nIt will be a fairly informal ceremony, however, and a far cry from the production values surrounding the farewell appearance of two-time Horse of the Year Cigar during the 1996 National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden, complete with police escort through Manhattan and a tearful, spotlit turn around the arena to the playing of \u201cAuld Lang Syne.\u201d\nThen again, as far as parades go, you can\u2019t do much better than the one Breeders\u2019 Cup winner and Eclipse sprint champion Cardmania participated in eight months after his retirement in April 1995, after a career of 77 starts. The parade took place on New Year\u2019s Day of 1996, in Pasadena, Calif. And yes, there were roses.",

        "raw_content": "Meet The Do Nothing Machine\nThe Do Nothing Machine is a great piece of work and I enjoyed seeing it operate.\ufeff.. It was built by Lawrence Wahlstrom, a retired clock maker in 1948...\nThe Do Nothing Machine is made up of 764 gears and is on display at the Craftsmanship Museum in Carlsbad, CA.\nAccording to a newspaper article (paper unknown) from about the early 1960's, the inventor of this engineering marvel was Lawrence Wahlstrom, a retired clock maker. He worked in the newspaper business and for the telephone company, while also acting as caretaker and landscape gardener for a Beverly Hills estate for 40 years. He always enjoyed tinkering with clocks and had attended a clock school to learn about their repair. Somewhere along the line he acquired a fascination for gears. After coming across a surplus WWII bomb sight containing a complicated cluster of gears, he got it working again. He also realized that people prefer to be entertained rather than educated, so he began adding more and more gears to his assembly over a 15-year period starting in about 1948. The first known publicity photo of it appeared in 1950.\nOver the years, the number of gears continued to grow, reaching either 744 or 764 depending on which account you read. Like the motion of the machine, the actual figure is somewhat fluid. It attracted a lot of media attention over the years, appearing in magazine articles and on TV shows. It was seen on both the Art Linkletter show and the Bob Hope show. The family archives also contain a telegram arranging for Mr. Wahlstrom to appear on the Garry Moore show in November, 1954. Life Magazine gave it a full page in the April 20, 1953 issue, and Popular Mechanics gave it \u00bd page coverage in the February, 1954 issue. In February, 1955 it was also featured in Mechanix Illustrated magazine. There were also many other newspaper and magazine articles documenting its constant evolution.\nCalled by its inventor variously a \"Flying Saucer Detector\" or other nebulous and facetious descriptions, his goal was to add at least 50 gears each year to the constantly growing project. As noted in Popular Mechanics in 1954, \"We all know someone who works harder doing nothing than most of us work doing something, but we can't possibly know anything that works harder at nothing that a machine built by a California hobbyist.

        "raw_content": "Kangana Ranaut is an Indian film actress. She has established a career in Bollywood and is one of the highest-paid actresses in India. Ranaut is particularly known in the media for expressing her honest opinions in public and is frequently credited as one of the most fashionable Indian celebrities. She is the recipient of several awards, including three National Film Awards and Filmfare Awards in four categories.\nBorn in Bhambla, a small town in Himachal Pradesh, Ranaut initially aspired to become a doctor at the insistence of her parents. Determined to build her own career path, she relocated to Delhi at age sixteen, where she briefly became a model. After training under the theatre director Arvind Gaur, Ranaut made her feature film debut in the 2006 thriller Gangster, for which she was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. She received praise for portraying emotionally intense characters in the dramas Woh Lamhe (2006), Life in a... Metro (2007) and Fashion (2008). For the last of these, she won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Filmfare Award in the same category.\nRanaut featured in the commercially successful films Raaz: The Mystery Continues (2009) and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), though she was criticised for being typecast in neurotic roles. A comic role opposite R. Madhavan in the 2011 box office hit Tanu Weds Manu was well-received, though this was followed by a series of brief, glamorous roles in films that failed to propel her career forward. She then played a mutant opposite Hrithik Roshan in the science fiction film Krrish 3 (2013), one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films, and won the Filmfare and National Film Award for Best Actress for her performance in the comedy-drama Queen (2014). In 2015, Ranaut portrayed a dual role in Tanu Weds Manu Returns, the most successful Bollywood film featuring a female protagonist, for which she won a Filmfare Critics Award and a second consecutive National Film Award for Best Actress.\nKangana Ranaut to direct her own biopic, will Hrithik Roshan and Karan Johar be shown?

        "title": "Being Overweight and What to do About Obesity",
        "raw_content": "Being Overweight and What to do About Obesity\nBeing overweight increases your chances of disease\nThe 7th National Nutrition Survey (NNS) conducted by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) in the Philippines found that 27 in every 100 Filipino adults are overweight and obese based on body mass index (BMI) classification.\nThe survey found that overweight and obese are highest in adults 40 to 59 years old.\nThe prevalence of overweight and obese is constantly increasing from 16.6 percent in 1993 to 20.2 percent in 1998, 24.0 percent in 2003 and 26.6 percent in 2008.\nMoreover, the survey reported data on lifestyle behaviors that may affect the well-being of the population such as smoking, alcohol drinking, and physical activities: (a) three in every 10 Filipinos adults smoke cigarettes at an average of 10 sticks per day, (b) three in every 10 Filipino adults drink alcoholic beverages, with gin and beer topping the list, and (c) only 7 in 100 Filipino adults are engaged in vigorous exercises at least three to four times a week.\nPoor diet, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol intake and smoking are behavioral risk factors that may be modified to delay if not prevent the onset of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, abnormal lung function, and dyslipidemia or abnormal lipid levels in the blood.\nIn fact, the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos (NGF) identified the key components of a healthy lifestyle namely, healthy diet, regular exercise, abstinence from smoking and moderate alcohol intake.\nThe FNRI recommends a balanced diet comprising of a variety of food. The food guide pyramid shows the recommended daily servings of the different food groups for different age groups. The graphical illustration of the Food Pyramid can be viewed at the FNRI website.\nThe NGF warrants the importance of regular exercise. However, adults 40 years and over with known risk factors need to get a medical clearance before starting an exercise regimen.\nRegular physical activity promotes weight control and weight maintenance, toned muscles and firm skin. It also improves blood circulation and increases efficiency of the heart and lungs. Walking, taking the stairs, and doing household chores are examples of simple forms of exercises.\nOn smoking, the NGF says the best rule is never to start smoking because once the habit is established, giving up smoking is not easy.\nIf alcoholic beverages are consumed, it should be taken in moderation. Moderate alcohol consumption means no more than one drink per day for women and no more than two drinks per day for men.\nThe following portions are equal to one alcohol equivalent providing 20 cubic centimeters (cc) ethanol providing about 200 calories: 1 \u00bd ounces (oz) distilled beverage such as gin; 12 oz or 360 cc or 1 bottle of beer; 4 oz of 120 cc or \u00bd glass of wine; or 1 oz or 30 cc or 1 jigger of 100 proof whiskey.\nThe changing lifestyle of Filipinos may increase chronic degenerative diseases but these may be prevented by good nutrition, regular exercise, not smoking and avoiding alcoholic beverages.\nFor more information on food and nutrition, contact: Dr. Mario V.

        "raw_content": "Charity membership body, Acevo, has recorded its first surplus for half a decade, despite its income having fallen by a further \u00a3250,000, its latest annual report and accounts have shown.\nPublished today, the accounts reveal a more positive outlook for the membership body, which was previously battling with a bulging deficit and regular drops in income, membership levels and reserves.\nThe body\u2019s unrestricted surplus now stands at \u00a367,000, compared to a deficit of \u00a3158,000 in 2017, bringing the charity\u2019s reserves back in line with its reserves policy.\nOver the year to 31 March 2018, Acevo\u2019s income continued to fall by almost \u00a3250,000 from \u00a31.1m down to \u00a3888,130. However, its expenditure also fell in line with income, from \u00a31.26m down to \u00a3826,222, pulling the trigger on the first surplus for five years.\nThe main drop in income came from the loss of Acevo\u2019s consultancy service, Acevo Solutions, which was a loss-making business and closed in 2017. Meanwhile, membership income dropped from \u00a3476,000 down to \u00a3462,000 and the number of members fell from 1,165 to 1,105 due to the ending of some bulk memberships.\nThe membership body has reported continual losses for years, but has reported a marked improvement in finances since the appointment of Vicky Browning as its chief executive in January 2017.\nAccording to the accounts, Browning took home \u00a371,990 over the reporting year, which compares to roughly \u00a3107,000 earned by her predecessor Sir Stephen Bubb.\n\u201cLike many charity CEOs, I have been determined to focus on our core purpose \u2013 in our case connecting, championing and supporting our sector\u2019s leaders \u2013 and cut out non-core activities. And again like most CEOs, I\u2019ve not compromised when addressing our cost base,\u201d Browning said.\n\u201cHaving closed our loss-making business consultancy service, our overall income is lower, but the organisation has delivered a surplus for the first time in five years, allowing us to replenish reserves in line with our reserves policy.\n\u201cI believe the sector needs Acevo. Investing in our leaders \u2013 whether through encouraging peer support and sharing good practice, offering leadership development opportunities or reinforcing leaders\u2019 mental health and resilience \u2013 is an effective way of both protecting and increasing the impact of civil society.\u201d\nAcevo chair Joe Irvin added: \u201cOur latest annual report and accounts reflect the hard work that the staff and trustees have put in to stabilise and re-energise Acevo over the last 12 months.\n\"With a renewed vision, purpose and values, and having generated a budget surplus for the first time in five years, I am excited by the possibilities ahead to further support our inspirational network of members.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Sam Hutchinson: The Play-off Final mean't more to me than anything at Chelsea.\nSam Hutchinson is fast becoming a success story at Sheffield Wednesday, albeit one of the best midfielders in the Championship. Sam Hu...\nEx-players, Hutchison, Latest, Opinion\nhttp://www.chelseadaft.org/2017/01/sam-hutchinson-play-off-final-meant.html\nSam Hutchinson is fast becoming a success story at Sheffield Wednesday, albeit one of the best midfielders in the Championship.\nSam Hutchinson is one of those players while at Chelsea, we all had really, really high hopes for. As with many others, he was touted as the first player to breakthrough into the first team since John Terry and looked well on course to do so.\nUnfortunately, at the age of 21 back in 2010, Hutchinson was forced to retire from the game with a hole in his knee and unbearable pain. In the six months that subsequently followed, he suffered with mental health problems as he battled against depression. He eventually sort assistance and guidance with his personal life from The Priory and eighteen months later, after a bone graft healed his knee he reversed his retirement and returned to the game.\nHowever, as with many others at Chelsea who find it a struggle to make the step up to become a regular first team player for one reason or another, Hutchinson was once again sent off out on loan at Nottingham Forest first of all, followed by Vitesse Arnhem. It was when he returned from his time in Holland that he decided to take his career in a different direction and he signed for Sheffield Wednesday and has never looked back since.\nSpeaking in the full interview featured in The Guardian, Hutchinson has spoken of what has happened with his career, his personal life, Chelsea and where he is now and extracts from the article are very revealing. He said:\n\"It wasn\u2019t a big call at the time because I hated it. I just wanted to stop the pain and stop everything. I never wanted to come back. I didn\u2019t want to play for Chelsea either because I blamed them for it, even though it wasn\u2019t [their fault], it was just what happened.\nIt was more depressing knowing I wasn\u2019t able to do what I could do, because of the limitations I\u2019d had.\nI probably did as much work mentally as I did physically to come back. I spoke to people, did a bit of brain training. You just get to a point in your life where you either go through the motions and maybe become a bit-part player or you really go for it.\nEverything was spiralling out of control. I just needed to take control and make my own decisions and just be a man about it. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve done at Sheffield Wednesday. As soon as I took charge of my own career, that\u2019s when I started being happier and when I started reaping the benefits.\nI was at Chelsea for a long time but I never had anything to do with anything they won. Even the play-off final last season \u2013 that meant more to me than anything at Chelsea, because I was part of the team. This season I feel an even bigger part of it, which is amazing. That\u2019s all I\u2019ve ever wanted to do, just play football.\u201d\nHutchinson is a credit to the game and an inspiration to those younger players at clubs like Chelsea who are never going to be given a chance.\nTo suffer the injury problems he did, to then have to cope with the mental health issues that followed but to then force his way back into the game as he has done is fantastic.\nThe Chelsea faithful who have supported the club throughout the years are more than aware of the young talent we have had here and we have seen being forced into a decision to leave to kick start their careers.\nSam Hutchinson deserves all the credit and plaudits he deserves and congratulations to him on his new deal.",

        "raw_content": "Home/Life/ Special Coverage\nRaymond Zhou: Shirley Temple brought out the kid in all of us\nWhen Shirley Temple visited China in April 1977, it did not cause a sensation. As a matter of fact, it went totally unheeded, with no media coverage or any personal account from the Chinese host.\nEight years later, Temple, who died this week at the age of 85, became the talk of the nation as many of her major films from the 1930s were broadcast on China Central Television. This came at a time when television sets were available mostly to urban households and viewing options were limited. But still, the size of the audience was enormous in absolute number. more\n- Shirley Temple, iconic child star, dies at 85\n- Top 10 movie stars that China loves\n- Chinese celebrities mourn Shirley Temple's death\n- Media honor the life of Shirley Temple\nPrecocious, Adorable, Soft-spoken, Superstar\n\"As actress Shirley Temple, she was precocious, bouncy and adorable with a head of curly hair, tap-dancing through songs like 'On the Good Ship Lollipop.'\"\n\"As Ambassador Shirley Temple Black, she was soft-spoken and earnest in postings in Czechoslovakia and Ghana, out to disprove concerns that her previous career made her a diplomatic lightweight.\"\nHeroine, Merchandized, Shirley Temple dolls\n\"As a child, her movies made her a heroine for adults as well as children. Simplistic plots often cast her as a motherless tyke who found happiness and shared it, cheerfully singing or dancing her way out of trouble and spreading cheer wherever she went.\"\n\"With each new generation, she continued to be one of the most merchandized actresses in film history.\"\nAmerica's dimpled child movie star Shirley Temple Black died late Monday evening at the age of 85. Her passing has shocked the world, and her fans in China are also deeply saddened by the loss of yet another showbiz talent.\nTemple is just one example of movie stars that China adored, and still adores. Their talents, their styles and their stories during their periods have deeply imprinted the hearts of Chinese audiences.\nHere's our editor's pick of the top 10 movie stars who have influenced China.

PBA Tour\nRob Stone Returns as Play-By-Play Announcer for Fox Sports Telecasts of 2019 Go Bowling! PBA Tour\nLOS ANGELES (Aug. 21, 2018) \u2013 Today, FOX Sports and the Professional Bowlers Association announce the lead broadcasting team for the 2019 Go Bowling! PBA Tour, including the return of Rob Stone as play-by-play announcer, along with analyst Randy Pedersen and reporter Kimberly Pressler.\nThe trio will make its FOX debut on Sunday, Dec. 23, with the PBA Clash on FOX. The announcement was made today by John Entz, President of Production & Executive Producer, FOX Sports, and PBA CEO-Commissioner Tom Clark.\n\u201cRob is a dynamic and versatile sports broadcaster who is passionate about bowling,\u201d said Entz. \u201cAnd he\u2019s already a legend in the sport for inventing the term \u2018hambone\u2019.\u201d\n\u201cWe are very excited to have Rob Stone back with the PBA,\u201d Clark said. \u201cHe became part of the bowling family when he was our play-by-play voice years ago with Pedersen and Pressler and he never left. We are very proud of the great career Rob has built at FOX Sports and look forward to the passion he will bring when he returns to our events.\u201d\nA veteran sports broadcaster, Stone was most recently the lead studio host for FOX Sports coverage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia\u2122 live from Moscow. Since joining FOX Sports in 2012, Rob has served as the lead studio host for the network\u2019s soccer, college football and college basketball programming.\nStone was PBA\u2019s play-by-play announcer from 2008 until 2012. He endeared himself to the bowling public with his eagerness to learn the sport, his sense of humor, an enthusiastic personality and his immediate connection with Pedersen, a PBA Hall of Famer and veteran color analyst. Learning that three consecutive strikes in bowling is called a \u201cturkey,\u201d but there was no common term for four strikes in a row, Stone coined the expression \u201chambone.\u201d His catch phrase took on a life of its own and remains a part of bowling\u2019s lexicon.\n\u201cBack in 2008, the PBA unexpectedly became a cherished part of my career,\u201d said Stone. \u201cThe hope to be reunited with the world\u2019s best bowlers has existed for years. I am honored to return and cannot wait to get back to the lanes with my old partners Randy and Kimberly, and my many other co-workers and lifetime bowling friends.\u201d\nStone returns to the play-by-play booth with Pedersen, who will provide analysis for PBA telecasts for the 17th consecutive year. Pedersen ranked among the Tour's top players during a 25-year career on the lanes. The 13-time PBA Tour champion was inducted into the PBA Hall of Fame in 2011. He revived his professional career in 2013 after seven years by competing on the PBA50 Tour where he won his first title in his PBA50 Tour debut.\n\u201cI\u2019m personally very excited to have an opportunity to work with my old buddy, Rob Stone, again,\u201d Pedersen said. \u201cWe developed a great relationship and friendship, and we\u2019ve maintained it ever since. And I\u2019m looking forward to the PBA moving to FOX Sports over the coming years.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb FAQs \u00bb Worker's Compensation \u00bb Can I sue a third party for an injury at work?\nMost workers who are covered by workers\u2019 compensation insurance are barred from filing a lawsuit to recover damages for a workplace injury. However, when a third party (not an employer or fellow employee) causes the injury, the worker may be able to pursue damages in a third-party liability claim.\nExamples of Third Parties Who May Be Held Liable\nMost workplace injuries occur independently of third parties. However, sometimes an injury is incurred that would not have been but for the negligence of someone outside of the workplace.\nThird parties who may be held liable for a workplace injury include the following listed below.\nA landowner is accountable if an employee is injured on the landowner\u2019s property as a result of a known hazard or danger that the landlord has failed to remedy. A slip and fall accident caused by a property risk is an example of this.\nFinally, a manufacturer may be held liable if a product/equipment/machine has a design or manufacturing defect that has rendered it dangerous. If this error causes a worker injury, then the worker may be able to file a lawsuit directly against the manufacturer.\nWhat damages are available in a third party liability claim?\nThe types of workers\u2019 compensation benefits available to Pennsylvania workers include both economic and noneconomic damages in a third-party liability claim. Examples of recoverable damages may include these.\nAll medical expenses related to the accident\nLost wages and future lost wages\nDo I need an attorney when filing a third party liability claim?\nRegardless of whether you\u2019re filing a workers\u2019 compensation claim for benefits or a third party liability claim for benefits, an attorney can be a great asset. An attorney can help you to prove the extent of the harm you\u2019ve suffered, as well as common dispute defenses to negligence-based claims. At the time of a settlement offer, an attorney will also make sure that your compensation is fair, and that it adequately covers the extent of harm you\u2019ve suffered.\nAt Cordisco & Saile LLC, our workers\u2019 compensation and personal injury lawyers want to help you recover the compensation you need after a workplace accident. To learn more about third party liability claims and your right to take legal action, get a hold of the office today. Remember, file all personal injury claims within two years\u2019 time per Pennsylvania law, get started now by dialing 215-642-2335!",

        "raw_content": "Our Military Leaders Must Remember the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials!\nNuremberg, Germany\u2014When the Third Reich collapsed and surrendered in 1945 those Nazi military leaders that could be found were rounded up, jailed and tried by a special tribunal of those victorious Allied Nations.\nTo a one the accused military suspects cited as a defense that they were only following orders and that had they disobeyed those orders they would have been shot or hanged.\nThe international precedent was established that eliminated that defense and the defendants were held to a standard the precluded Waging Aggressive War and Crimes Against Humanity. Nearly every defendant was found guilty and most of them were hanged.\nNow Barack Obama has put our military leaders at a crossroads similar to the Nazi regime. Hitler engaged in starting war after war and Obama is doing precisely the same thing. Our military leaders must not allow themselves to be taken down the war crimes path by our psychotic Commander and Chief.\nThis is not about pacifism or becoming a Contentious Objector but the duty all solders have to not follow unlawful orders.\nOur members of the military have taken an oath, not to Obama but to the U.S. Constitution. If there s reasonable doubt that an order is lawful, members of our military have a duty to refuse such orders.\nAt some point the military may have a solemn and sworn duty to arrest the President and other officials in our government for war crimes and treason. Our military needs to know that America backs them if they follow their oaths.\nFollowing a war criminal's orders may lead to disgrace and actual execution as s depicted n the film below:\nIt is ALL about our U.S. Military now. The Politicians, as expected, are already selling us, and the Country out, one by one. Will they continue to follow the Communist Muslim Commander in Chief Leader, and be his and the NWO Enforcement Tool for a continuing Dictatorial Totalitarian Regime here in the United States of America, thus ending tbe USA as a fre Country as we know it, or will they do the right thing ? We will know shortly. If they choose to continue to be forced to follow the False President, America is over. Pray that they will make the right decision to uphold the U.S. Constitution, or it will be Hitlers Nazi Germany and the 3rd Reich, all over again, here in the former USA.\nThis president SUCKS! He's worst the Jimmy.\nMembers of the European Parliament are officially nominating fugitive NSA leaker Edward Snowden for a prize celebrating freedom of thought, a parliamentary representative said Wednesday.\nSnowden is a candidate for the European Parliament\u2019s Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought, named after Soviet scientist and dissident Andrei Sakharov, which honors people or organizations for their work in the defense of human rights and freedom of thought.\nChristian Engstrom, a member of the Swedish Pirate Party who co-nominated Snowden for the award, wrote that Snowden is \u201cpaying a heavy personal price\u201d for his \u201cheroic\u201d effort.\n\u201cThe US government hunts him as an outlaw\u2026 Governments that dare to offer him asylum are threatened with dire consequences by the US government,\u201d Engstrom wrote on his personal blog page. \u201cIn a painful irony, his only sanctuary is Russia, a country with democratic problems and authoritarian tendencies.\u201d\nhttp://themoscownews.com/international/20130911/191915005/Snowden-nominated-for-freedom-of-thought-prize.html\nRegarding restoring Privacy, Dignity and Respect To World's Citizens including US Citizens\nVia Cryptome, - NSA espionage activities and their impact of citizen rights from the European Parliament\u2019s Policy\nThe Snowden\u2019s revelations highlight numerous breaches of fundamental rights. This affects in priority all the persons whose data have been extracted via surveillance of communications, digital cables or cloud computing technologies, as soon as they are under a category of suspicion, or of some interest for foreign intelligence purposes. However, all these persons are not protected in the same way, especially if they are not US citizens.\nThe EU citizen is therefore particularly fragile in this configuration connecting US intelligence services, private companies that provide services at the global level and the ownership they can exercise over their data. It is clear that if EU citizens do not have the same level of protections as the US citizens, because of the practices of the US intelligence services and the lack of effective protections, they will become the first victims of these systems.\nFreedom of thought, opinion, expression and of the press are cardinal values that have to be preserved. Any citizen of the EU has the right to have a private life, i.e, a life which is not fully under the surveillance of any state apparatus.\nThe investigative eyes of any government have to be strongly reminded of distinctions between private and public activities, between what is a crime and what is simply a different life-style. By gathering massive data on life-styles in order to elaborate patterns and profiles concerning political attitudes and economic choices, PRISM seems to have allowed an unprecedented scale and depth in intelligence gathering, which goes beyond counterterrorism and beyond espionage activities carried out by liberal regimes in the past. This may lead towards an illegal form of Total Information Awareness where data of millions of people are subject to collection and manipulation by the NSA.",

The Dane was the fastest of the breakaway of the day.\nThe escape of the 204.4-kilometre stage between Sint-Pieters-Leeuw and Lanaken was formed in the first seven kilometres and included three riders: Magnus Cort Nielsen (Astana), Julius Van den Berg (EF Education First) and Jonas Rickaert (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), some kilometres later they were joined by AG2R La Mondiale's Alexis Gougeard.\nThe front group managed to create a gap of more than four minutes and even though the peloton tried to close the gap in the last kilometres, every effort was unsuccessful. Rickaert was set to take the leader's jersey but he had a puncture in the last kilometres and crashed against his team's car.\nCort Nielsen showed to be the best sprinter of the trio, Van der Berg and Gougeard were second and third. Rickaert was fourth and Caleb Ewan (Mitchelton-Scott) was the fastest of the peloton.\nMatej Mohoric (Bahrain-Merida) keeps the GC lead for another day.\n\"It\u2019s unbelievable that we made it with the breakaway, as the sprinter teams were aware that it\u2019s not easy to catch the breakaway during this BinckBank Tour,\" said Magnus Cort at the end of the stage.\n\"But all the riders in the break committed 100% and we worked very well together. We were able to save some energy until the final hour of the race, and during this hour we gave it all to stay clear from the peloton. I\u2019m very happy with the victory, it\u2019s a special way to win.\"",

Our country is a small island. We are not able to continue with developing villages allocating land plots for each house. We do not have enough land available for that anymore, not only in the urban but in t herural areas as well.Apartments are a better solution to solve the land issue,\u201d the President further pointed out.\nPresident Sirisena pointed out that the national housing policy has been properly implemented under the present government unlike in the past.\n\u201cEven though there are some good housing policies, most of our people do not like to abide by them. People also take advantage of the weak construction and housing policies existing in the country. Land availability is dwindling every day. It\u2019s important that we safeguard the remaining lands,\u201d he said.\nPresident Maithripala Sirisena made these observations participating in the ceremony held to hand over the \u201cLake Crest Residencies\u201d, a housing project with 500 apartment units, to the public at Mulleriyawa, Mandawila. The housing project is constructed under the directions of Megapolis and Western Development Ministry together with financial and planning contributions by the Urban Development Authority.\n\u201cThe forest density of the country at present is 27%. Each year, the forest density decreases by 1.5%. If we continue at this rate, in the next 10 years, we will have a forest density only of 18%-19% or so. In about 25 years, our country would become a desert. There would be no difference between the Middle Eastern countries and ours. Therefore, it is crucial that we adopt a construction and housing policy which recognises the importance of forest conservation,\u201d the President added.\nSpeaking further, President Sirisena observed that the present government had to bear the burden of not only of one, but many \u201cgarbage mountains,\u201d when it took over from the previous Rajapaksa regime.\n\u201cThe government had to face the Meetotamulla garbage dump tragedy. But, the Meetotamulla dump was not created by our government, but it was us who had to pay for it. When we took over, Sri Lanka had lost all its international allies. That was another \u201cgarbage mountain\u201d we had to clear. We have now won the support of many countries. SAITM was another \u201cgarbage mountain\u201d we had to deal with. Many have criticised and mocked this government but these are some of the issues we had to overcome,\u201d President Sirisena added.\nPresident Sirisena commended Megapolis and Western Development Minister Patali Champaka Ranawaka for the exceptional commitment he is making to uplift the living standards of the people by implementing solid infrastructure and development projects.\nColombo district UNP MP S.M.Marikkar and Kolonnawa Development Committee Co-Chairman Prasanna Solangarachchi were also present at the occasion.",

        "raw_content": "I'm a Completely Crazy Book Nerd\n\"Books are uniquely portable magic.\"\u2014Stephen King\nYou guys, I love to read.\nFor as long as I can remember, I have loved to read. I can actually remember the exact moment when I learned (it was during Mrs. Young's first grade morning story) and my life has never been the same. I went from a person who could be read to, to a person who could read on her own. Never has there been a greater freedom.\nFrom \"Ramona and Her Mother\" as a little girl to Stephen King's \"It\" in 8th grade to \"A Separate Peace\" and \"To Kill a Mockingbird\" in high school, to the countless titles I've read since, reading has been a constant.\nI'm an avid reader, but I'm not an especially well-read avid reader. There are an embarrassing number of classics and 'must-be-read' books that I simply haven't gotten to yet. And while I do have a loyalty to books, I'm what you might call an equal opportunity reader...blogs, news, magazines, cereal boxes, as well as a variety of genres...I read them all.\nShort of actually finishing the writing of a book, I have worked with books and the written word many times throughout my life\u2014as a librarian, a bookseller at a book store, at a publishing company, and as a freelance writer for newspapers.\nAt times, I admit, reading seems like it's taking up too much of my life, and I've been reminded of the lyrics from the Blindmelon song, 'No Rain:\n\"All I can do is read a book to stay awake, and it rips my life away, but it's a great escape.\"\nBut more often, I'm reminded of the notion from Julia Cameron in \"The Artist's Way\":\n\"Filling the well involves the active pursuit of images to refresh our artistic reservoirs.\"\nFor me, reading isn't just something I love. It's something that helps me fill my artistic reservoir, helps me be a better creator, a better writer, and gives me a better understanding of the vast lives I cannot live, lives that are not my own. It's an escape. It's educational. It's often ridiculous. Or silly. Or scary. Or devastating.\nAs a kid, and then as an adult, I wanted to be an actress. And while I can't put into words all the reasons I wanted to be an actress (at least not in one blog post), I know it had a lot to do with portraying different people. Having the opportunity to experience different lives, different careers, different choices. I feel like reading gives me that too.\nAnd so, this year, my goal is to read 52 books.\nI'll need some luck and time because last year, my goal was to read 60 books but I fell dramatically short (partly because I agreed to read an insanely long science fiction series without knowing what I was getting into). (Click here for the list of books I did manage to finish in 2016).\nBut guys...I need suggestions. I don't mean to be morbid, and I realize this sounds at least slightly \u200bdramatic, but I'm thinking that, at best, if I live to the age of 100, I have 58 reading years left. 58 years of 52 books a year is 3,016 books left to read. I know it sounds ridiculous, but of the hundreds and hundreds of books I've read, I haven't loved a great many. As Beulah Maud Delaney mentioned in this article, \"I\u2019ve got xyz books left to read, at best, and I intend to be ruthless in choosing them.\"\nI'm hoping to squeeze in a few of those never-been-read classics like The Great Gatsby, The Secret Garden, and Sense and Sensibility, but like I mentioned above, I'm an equal opportunity reader when it comes to topics, and I'm looking for good\u2014really good\u2014stories, biographies, memoirs, and more stories. So please, send me suggestions! And if you're a book-lover like me, I've got a pinterest page dedicated to quotes about reading!",

        "raw_content": "If you are looking for a book which takes you inside the modern game of baseball, I recommend\nThe Last Nine Innings by Charles Euchner. The book gives a play by play account of the seventh game of the 2001 World Series between the New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks but that game is really not what the book is about. Rather, the author uses that contest as a springboard for discussions of many aspects of baseball in general. Using interviews with players, managers, scouts, researchers and others, Euchner reveals facets of the game which may not be obvious to the typical observer or even the more avid fan.\nHe examines the inner workings of the game both on and off the field and describes how the latter influences the former. From the on field perspective, he gives insights into the thought processes and body movements of fielders as they track, catch and throw balls. There are also chapters on the relationships between catchers and pitchers, the mechanics of hitting and pitching and much more.\nFrom the off field perspective, he talks about how advanced statistical analysis impacts player evaluation, team building and managerial strategy. Another example is a discussion of how scientific analysis of body movements is being used to improve batter\u2019s swings and pitcher\u2019s deliveries and to reduce injury risk. As the book progresses, it becomes more evident how this modern research is changing the way the game is played on the field. Baseball observers from the casual fan to the aficionado will be entertained and educated by this book.\nhave you read 'baseball between the numbers' yet?> its pretty sweet.\nNo but I'll probably read it over the next couple of months. So many books so little time for reading right now.\nI'm methodically reading through and making notes on every profile in BA's Prospect Handbook. BEAT THAT. :P\nThat is very impressive Sam. I don't have the patience/time to read every single profile...at least not methodically.\nThey're perfect for those weird pockets of time I find myself with when I'm stuck on North Campus between classes and there's not quite enough time to actually DO anything. I figure, if I'm gonna be wasting time in the art school, I may as well waste it while either blogging or learning about the top 30 prospects in the Arizona Diamondbacks system.",

        "raw_content": "I Have Been Assaulted, Can I Claim Compensation for Personal Injury Arising From This Assault?\nIn Canada, reasonable expectation of personal safety is enforced criminally and civilly and in a previous post we already described the implications associated with dishonest sexual assault accusations, defamation of character and the damages in which one might be able to claim should they become such a victim.\nPerhaps slightly more complicated is understanding the differences between a criminal and civil case and how, particularly where a criminal prosecution is concerned, a personal injury claim can be affected. That said, it is important to also acknowledge that legal action taken as a result of an assault can be heard in both criminal court and a civil court.\nAn assault by definition occurs when the defendant has demonstrated some sort of intended threat that in turn has instilled an element of apprehension or fear in the would- be claimant. This explanation typically pertains to cases that would be considered to be of a criminal nature. Although the lines are often blurred, there are significant distinctions between assault and battery and it is not uncommon for an assault to be mistaken for the latter. One clear differentiation is that with an assault there is no requirement for any physical contact to have occurred and the claimant does not need to have suffered any physical injuries. Thus, a claimant who can prove that the defendant intended to commit the act that could be seen to reasonably cause apprehension on part of the claimant, may be successful in obtaining compensation in a civil assault injury case.\nA personal injury lawsuit may be the most effective way for the victim to not only get reimbursement for possible medical bills and out of pocket expenses that may include reimbursement for housekeeping assistance and personal care, but also compensation for any pain and suffering experienced by the victim. This can be recovered from the person or persons who are legally liable for the incident that occurred. This can extend beyond those accused of committing the assault and can include employers, institutions such as schools and camps, governmental organizations, and in addition, parents.\nThe Ontario Limitations Act s.4 limits the time in which a claimant can bring a claim to two years from the day the claim is discovered. Typically, the civil case proceeds after any criminal proceedings are held but one has to be certain not to possibly lose the opportunity of bringing a civil claim by waiting too long to initiate the claim.\nCivil proceedings are usually complex and require an experienced personal injury lawyer who can evaluate and advise you throughout the process. At Devry Smith Frank LLP we can navigate you or your loved ones through the seemingly overwhelming laws pertaining to personal injury. Although every case is different, we continuously strive to achieve the best possible results.\nFor more information on how we can assist, please e-mail me directly at Marc Spivak or call me at (416) 446-5855 and schedule a free consultation today.\nTags: Accident, Civil Liability, Personal Injury\nMarc Spivak",

        "raw_content": "Sean Shibe\nEdinburgh-born Sean Shibe started to learn the guitar when he was seven. A year later he won a place at the City of Edinburgh Music School and quickly developed his natural talent. In 2006, the teaching of Marek Pasciezcny inspired Sean to concentrate solely on the guitar. A year later he was offered a place at Aberdeen City Music School.\nSean\u2019s first public solo was at the Queen\u2019s Hall, Edinburgh when he was eight years\u2019 old, as part of the Edinburgh Schools Showcase Concert. In 2007, still only 15, he performed his first full, solo public recital in Edinburgh. After the performance, the composer Haflidi Hallgrimsson approached him directly to invite him to collaborate on the reworking of Hallgrimsson\u2019s piece \u2018Jacob\u2019s Ladder\u2019, which Sean performed at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe. Still at the age of 15, he received scholarship offers from a number of leading UK conservatoires and took his place at RSAMD in 2007 as the youngest musician to ever enter the academy.\nSean has been a member of the NCOS, as a \u2018cellist, and a member of the National Youth Guitar Ensemble of Great Britain, under Gerald Garcia. He has been a well known young player of classical guitar in Scotland since he was 11 years old. Sean is both an exciting prospect for the future as well as an engaging and talented performer of the present. He is one of the most talented young guitarists around today.\nThe Dewar Arts Award will enable Sean to buy a professional quality guitar.\nIn 2008, Sean was a finalist in the first senior competition he entered, the \"Westfalian Guitar Spring\" in Germany, and later that same year received the Chanterelle Guitar Prize. In 2009 he won both the Silver Medal at the 5th Ligita International Guitar Competition in Liechtenstein and, later, the 12th Ivor Mairants Guitar Competition run by the Worshipful Company of Musicians. He was the first British winner of this prestigious event, which offers Sean the opportunity to audition for concert performances at the Wigmore Hall in London.\nFollowing his achievement in Liechtenstein, Sean was offered a master class with the Cuban, Leo Brouwer, renowned composer for guitar. In 2011, Sean won the String Section prize of the Royal Overseas League Music Competition, only the second guitarist to achieve this.\n\"I think of the Donald Dewar Trust every day when I pick up the guitar. I know I would not be where I am today without their support 9 years ago.\"\nSean performed as part of our 10th Anniversary Celebrations. Find out more here.",

In fact, he was rumored to be a clubhouse spy for Finley.\nIn the mid-1980s, Hammer borrowed some cash from two A\u2019s outfielders to start his own record label.

        "title": "Beagle Husky Mix - The Beaski - Dog Breed Answers",
        "raw_content": "Sometimes referred to as the Beaski, the Beagle Husky mix is a cross between a Beagle and a Siberian Husky. Since the mix is fairly rare, it\u2019s difficult to know how these dogs will turn out. However, you can learn a lot more about what to expect by considering both of the parent breeds. Here\u2019s a closer look at the Beagle Husky mix, its appearance, grooming needs, temperament, health, and other essential information to consider.\nAlthough hybrid dogs have become very popular within the past 20 to 30 years, it\u2019s often difficult to know how they were started. We don\u2019t know where, when, or by whom the Beagle Husky mix was first started. While it\u2019s difficult to know much about the origins of the mix, we can learn more about these dogs by looking at the origin and history of both the Beagle and the Siberian Husky.\nThe origin of the Beagle is quite obscure, although the breed is believed to trace back thousands of years, perhaps back to ancient Roman times. During the 1700s, small hounds called Beagles were bred within England, but it wasn\u2019t until later in the 1800s that the dogs we think of as Beagles today would be bred within the southern part of the United States. Small dogs were bred in the south to use for hunting, and these dogs were imported to England where the breed would be refined. It wasn\u2019t until 1885 that the American Kennel Club would recognize the Beagle as an official breed.\nThe Siberian Husky was created in northeastern Siberia and created as endurance sled dogs to provide the Chukchi people with transportation. When the dogs weren\u2019t working, they were around women and children, and they were bred to be great with the family as well as good working dogs. Eventually these dogs were important to Alaska and they began racing in Alaskan sled dog races. In 1930, the American Kennel Club accepted the breed, and later they would be used in World War II by the United States military to help with search and rescue in the Arctic Circle.\nThe Beagle and the Siberian Husky are very different in their appearance and size, so it\u2019s difficult to know how the Beagle Husky mix will turn out. While Beagles are generally only 13-15 inches in height, the Husky can get to be between 21 and 24 inches in height. These hybrid dogs can range anywhere between those figures, depending on which parent they take after. Beagles usually weigh 30 pounds or less, while Huskies can weigh between 35 and 60 pounds, so expect your Beagle Husky mix to fall somewhere in that range.\nThe Husky has a thick double coat and the Beagle has a dense, short coat, so the coat of the Beagle Husky mix can vary from short to long and thick. Their coat can come in many different color combinations, including tricolor, white and red, black and white, copper and white, pure white, and gray and white.\nBeagle Husky Mix Temperament\nBoth the Beagle and the Husky are very playful, curious, and smart, so expect your Beagle Husky mix to have these characteristics as well. They are very friendly and affectionate, so this hybrid will make a great dog for the whole family. Of course, these dogs will love to be active, so you need to make sure that they get plenty of exercise. Since they are so smart and love to play, it\u2019s important to ensure they get both physical and mental exercise daily. Sometimes the Beagle Husky mix may have a bit of a stubborn streak from the Beagle side, but with early training and socialization, these dogs are generally quite easy to train. However, it is important to begin training and socialization as soon as possible.\nThe grooming needs of the Beagle Husky mix will vary, depending on the type of coat they end up with. If they have the longer, heavier coat of a Husky, they\u2019ll shed a lot, particularly twice a year when they blow their coat. Dogs with a thicker, longer coat will need to be brushed multiple times per week to control shedding and prevent the formation of mats. If their coat is more like a Beagle\u2019s, then brushing their coat just once or twice a week is usually fine. No matter what type of coat they have, these dogs generally only need to be bathed as needed, since they don\u2019t usually get smelly and you don\u2019t want to strip their coat of the natural oils that keep it healthy. Ears on the Beagle Husky mix should be checked weekly and cleaned regularly. They also need to have their teeth brushed several times a week to keep them healthy and to prevent bad doggie breath.\nIt\u2019s unknown what type of working roles the Beagle Husky mix is suitable for. However, Beagles often work as hunting dogs and Huskies are working dogs used for pulling sleds.\nUsually the Siberian Husky lives to be between 10 and 14 years old, while Beagles generally live to be between 12 and 14 years old. This means you can expect your Beagle Husky mix to have an average lifespan of between 10 and 14 years. In most cases, a mixed breed will have fewer health problems than a pure bred dog, but you still need to be aware of the potential health concerns of the parents. Some of the health problems that may affect the Beagle Husky mix include:\nCategories: Beagle Mixes, Dog Breed Mixes, Siberian Husky Mixes\nBeagle Husky Mix \u2013 The Beaski (This Page)",

        "raw_content": "There are many reasons and political answers to give when the discussion of supporting a local business comes about. However, are there answers as to why one should get out and pursue the action of the local support? Yes, in fact, there are so many positives to ensuring the local businesses continue to exist. The main fact of supporting a local business is the growth and community. Below are a few additional reasons why you should support all your local businesses for your convenience.\nBy showing your support to any local businesses, for example local movers, would not only increase the area\u2019s economy but personal growth as well. If you support a local business, they can provide new jobs and increase wages for those living in the area or those who are a part of the business. This can help the business grow and in turn, an automatic growth will be positive to the local community. To top that off supporting a local business will help the economy allow product discounts and benefits that are more public.\nUnique Companies and Growth\nWhile you choose to help a local business, you will help keep a business that is unique within the area. Each business has its own structure and products; however, if local support is not obtained, the business can cease to exist and potentially be replaced by a larger corporation, or worse, not be accessible anymore. You want to keep your areas in a state of growth and supporting local companies, such as mentioned above, a local movers company. They are the perfect example to ensure people of the areas have access to moving to better themselves, thus making the area stronger.\nWhen you support a local business, you will be able to ensure a stronger presence of professionalization and diversity. The reason for this is if a local business does not get any support, those local favorite products could leave rather quickly. To top that off, supporting a local business helps with the diversity of different businesses and pushes forth the growth the area needs in order to be successful, which will make you successful. On another note, the support will also increase available products, giving you more of what you want, closer to your living quarters.\nIf you choose to support a local business, then you will only enhance the levels of service you will receive. When a local business sees that they are getting more of the community to use their services, they will automatically start doing more and wanting to help to the best of their capability. This will increase customer service and response ratings. This will help the development of the area as well as the people.\nIn conclusion, supporting a local business is vital to the economy and to your personal life. It can affect more than just one element. Therefore, continue to support a local business, such as a local movers company, and it will not only benefit the company but the growth of the public as well. Therefore, go now and see whom you can contact or go and visit a local shop and show them your support, you will not be let down.\nFiled Under: Business Matters\nBaby Moccasins Are The Right Fit When it comes to having a baby or toddler, many people want the best clothes, shoes, and products.

To make the most of their time, they decided to create some beautiful images for their portfolios.\nOne unique aspect of this shoot from a makeup artist perspective, was the model's freckles.\nHere's what Lisa had to say about doing makeup with freckles:\n\"The main goal when working with freckles is to have them shine through. However, you may still need to apply some kind of face makeup to even out certain areas of the face that might be photographing differently than the rest due to the concentration of freckles in that area. It is important to choose a very transparent cream or liquid base that is the right shade, so the freckles don't become ashy looking. When people try to match the foundation to the model's underlying skin tone, they usually run into problems. It's all about finding a happy medium and choosing a color that is in between the model's underlying skin tone and the tone of the freckles, and then applying lightly in the areas that need it. Freckles are unique and beautiful, and I believe less is more when it comes to applying makeup on someone with them.\"\nWhen we asked Lisa what else was unique about this project, she told us it was the time constraint. She and the crew had about an hour to make 4 different looks come together to form a fashion/beauty story. It was very difficult to work in that time frame, since they had to come up with different looks, and execute them quickly and precisely.\nWhile the time constraint presented a challenge, the pressure ended up leading to a fantastic experience with equally great photos. Lisa ended up loving the pressure, since it allowed her and the crew to create stunning images that everyone on the team was happy about. Lisa told us, \"We had such a great crew and even though it was stressful, we all came together and as a result, our shoot was a success.\"\nWhen we asked Lisa what advice she had for aspiring makeup artists, she told us, \"I just want to stress the importance of having a good photographer who knows lighting whenever you are shooting a beauty story. We lucked out having one of the most amazing photographers I have had the pleasure to work with, Kate Powers. Our model was so naturally beautiful and Kate shot her perfectly. I'm really proud of this work and the people who helped make it possible!\"\nFor more of Lisa's work, check out her Dripbook portfolios .\nLisa Strutz",

        "raw_content": "What is Polyurethane Caulk?\nPolyurethane caulk is a highly durable caulk that is often used in place of silicone caulk. This sealant is known for its ability to adhere to several types of materials, so it is often recommended for creating seals between two different surfaces. Seals made with this caulk can last decades, but working with the caulk can also present some disadvantages, such as stickiness, stiffness and toxicity. Many people choose to use another caulk for indoor projects, but those who want to do a bit of outdoor caulking can benefit from using polyurethane caulk.\nThis type of caulk is a versatile sealant, and it can adhere to various types surfaces. The caulk can be used on plastic, glass, concrete, metal or wood. It can be particularly useful on wood, because it can withstand scuffing and other physical stresses well. In addition to its application versatility, some people claim that it has an incomparable stretching ability, which can be beneficial for use with materials that are expected to expand and contract regularly. After it is dry, the caulk can even be painted to help it blend into its surroundings.\nApplications of polyurethane caulk can last a relatively long time. Users of it can expect seals to remain functional for 10-20 years. Some people say that polyurethane caulk resembles putty. It's sticky, and many people find using this sealant to be a bit messy. Mineral spirits can be necessary for its tooling.\nThe disadvantages of using this kind of caulk include its stickiness, its stiffness and its toxicity. Some users have reported difficulty squeezing the caulk from its tube, and some people have resorted to using heat in an effort to ease the caulk out of the tube. The application process can also require the use of protective materials, such as gloves, in order to minimize the chance that the user will harm himself or herself. The caulk is solvent-based, so users might have to use paint thinner for clean-up purposes.\nPolyurethane caulk can be the best option for outdoor work, but it might not be the most practical choice for indoor modifications. For many indoor projects, acrylic latex is often considered to be the better choice. Users should be aware that removal of polyurethane caulk can require a lot of work \u2014 homeowners might have to sand or cut the caulk off of the surface to which it was adhered. It can be a bit more expensive, but polyurethane caulk can be a sound investment for those who want to use a durable caulk for exterior work on their homes.\nNext: What are the Pros and Cons of Urethane Coating?\nPrevious: What is Polyurethane Adhesive?",

        "raw_content": "If elections are the lifeblood of democratic societies, then political campaigns are the pulse.\nFor researchers, elections yield more than ballot results: artifacts from campaigns\u2014leaflets, handbills, brochures, websites, and other transitory items\u2014embody the prevailing collective political sentiment, ideals and values of a nation.\nPerhaps nowhere else does this ring truer than in the 15 former republics of the USSR, where there is a mixed bag of fledgling democracies and authoritarian, corrupt regimes.\nEast View is leading the digital preservation and online availability of political ephemera and official results from recent election campaigns in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and South Ossetia.\nOur new series -- Social Movements, Elections, Ephemera -- eliminates the need to acquire, catalog and shelve thousands of campaign materials that are fleeting by nature and challenging to obtain.\nSubscribers may LOGIN here.\nInterested in a subscription?

The elections took place against the background of the unresolved conflict with Georgia and in the context of the tense Georgia-Russia relations. Since Abkhazia is the self-proclaimed state, international organizations usually tasked with monitoring elections were absent. There were however observers from Russia and such de facto states as Nagorno Karabakh, South Ossetia, Donetsk People\u2019s Republic etc. News reports from the region as well observations from East View researchers noted that the elections were generally peaceful with no major excesses marring the process.\nArmenia Parliamentary Election, 2017 144 1,400 The Armenian parliamentary election took place on April 2, 2017 in an environment fraught with political tension. The Republican party had an advantage in money, power, and influence, but protests in Yerevan last year led to some worried about the outcome. East View researchers collected brochures, financial disclosures, leaflets and more at the height of the election campaign.\nArmenia Presidential Election, 2013 100 1,500 The 2013 presidential election in Armenia were held on February 18 in a politically charged atmosphere. Although the conduct of the elections marked certain improvements over the elections of the previous years, both parliamentary and presidential, they nevertheless fell predictably short from western electoral standards. The election despite its predictable result saw some truly remarkable developments, the most significant of which was perhaps the overwhelming victory of the opposition candidate in the country\u2019s second largest city. This collection includes the programs of the registered candidates, their financial disclosures, and other relevant documents and print material, giving researchers insight to reconstruct the scope and the breadth of the political debate in Armenia leading up to the elections.\nArmenia Parliamentary Election, 2012 200 2,500 East View researchers in Yerevan and other Armenian cities collected thousands of pages of unique print materials, making this the most comprehensive collection of election related ephemera and primary source material documenting the Armenian parliamentary elections, held on May 6, 2012. Given the extensive use of print material by both opposition and establishment, the present collection of election ephemera provides an invaluable insight into Armenia's political landscape prior to and during the contentious elections.\nAzerbaijan Presidential Election, 2018 30 129 The 2018 Early Presidential Election in Azerbaijan took place on April 11, 2018. As was expected, the incumbent Ilham Aliyev won the elections without meeting much real opposition with majority of his political opponents either imprisoned or in exile. Accordingly, the main opposition political parties such as Musavat, Popular Front and ReAl, decrying the arbitrariness of the decision to initiate snap elections called for a boycott, the rigging of the elections being a foregone conclusion in their estimation.\nBelarus Parliamentary Election, 2016 51 350 The September 11, 2016 Parliamentary Elections in Belarus were held in a combination of a challenging economic, security and foreign relations environment. The assessment by international observers on the process and the outcome of the elections were largely mixed, but there were positive developments: the electoral process is becoming more efficient and there was an increase in overall candidates. However, lack of transparency and vote counting irregularities remain.\nBelarus Presidential Election, 2015 150 >1,200 The pardon and the subsequent release of six opposition politicians by President Lukashenko immediately prior to the elections was welcomed in European capitals, but the results of the Belarus Presidential election was a foregone conclusion. No other candidate was able to mount a serious challenge to the incumbent Alexander Lukashenko who would win the elections having garnered over 83% of all votes cast.\nBelarus Parliamentary Election, 2012 20 55 The September 23, 2012 Parliamentary Elections in Belarus were notable for the fact that the majority of the opposition parties were absent from the ballot despite having campaigned in the weeks leading up to the elections. The reason for their absence was much as a result of a boycott announced a week prior to the elections, as it was the arbitrary legal strong-arming by the government, seen as yet another sign of President Alexander Lukashenko\u2019s growing authoritarianism.\nBelarus Presidential Election, 2010 150 1,000 The December 19, 2010 presidential election in Belarus received considerable attention around the world. After election results showed Aleksandr Lukashenko winning 80% of the vote, most of the presidential contenders were arrested and imprisoned by the regime.\nGeorgia Parliamentary Election, 2016 >200 >2500 The unceasing mutual recriminations by the country\u2019s two leading parties was compounded by the underperforming economy and the fast-rising cost of living, creating a politically charged electoral environment. Despite these and similar challenges, however, the elections were assessed by international observers to be free and fair.\nGeorgia Presidential Election, 2013 45 739 The October 27, 2013 Presidential Election in Georgia were held in a political atmosphere that was highly charged, the result of years-long acrimony between the Mikheil Saakashvili led United National Movement and the opposition coalition led by the Georgian Dream party of Bidzina Ivanishvili. The 2013 election thus was a further solidification of the democratic processes in the country, which has fared far better on democratic governance indicators compared to its Southern Caucasus neighbors Armenia and Azerbaijan. The present database includes flyers, leaflets, political programs, and various other ephemera by candidates as they tried to win support for their campaigns, representing a valuable trove of primary source material.\nGeorgia Parliamentary Election, 2012 161 2,242 The present database represents the most comprehensive collection of election related ephemera and primary source material documenting the Georgian parliamentary elections of October 1, 2012. It contains thousands of pages of unique print materials collected by East View researchers in Tbilisi and other Georgian cities. Given the extensive use of print materials by both opposition and establishment the present collection of campaign materials provides an invaluable insight into Georgia's political life prior to and during the contentious elections.\nKyrgyzstan Presidential Election, 2017 34 214 The Kyrgyz presidential elections took place on October 15, 2017 in a relatively calm political environment. There were 11 registered candidates vying for the presidency. Having served his single term limit the incumbent president Almazbek Atambayev was not a candidate, a fact that had an overall positive effect on the elections. The assessment of international observers was largely positive, with some violations, but not enough to alter the general trajectory of the elections. East View\u2019s researchers collected the materials for this collection during the period immediately preceding the election, giving researchers valuable insight into the evolving political culture of Kyrgyzstan.\nKyrgyzstan Parliamentary Election, 2015 <50 >470 The Parliamentary elections in Kyrgyzstan took place on October 4, 2015 without major incidents. Up for grabs were 120 seats in the Jogorku Kengesh (\u0416\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0440\u043a\u0443 \u041a\u0435\u04a3\u0435\u0448) through the proportional system of elections, with parties needing the required 7% threshold to make it into the parliament. According to a team of international observers dispatched from a variety of European countries under the aegis of the OSCE and ODIHR, the elections, despite being characterized as \u201clively,\" nevertheless contained one major shortcoming, a lack of \u201cimpartial information available to voters in the news.\u201d\nRussia Presidential Election, 2018 209 >2,030 The latest round of Russian presidential elections was held on March 18, 2018. Unsurprisingly, Vladimir Putin was elected president with nearly 77% of the vote, however, there were seven other candidates. Alexei Navalny, not allowed to participate due to his past criminal conviction, redirected his efforts towards boycotting the elections altogether. This collection includes all of this documentation, plus, photos inside polling stations and of ballots, including those with handwritten notes of protest, and notices that candidates concealed financial assets abroad, and more.\nRussia State Duma Election, 2016 600 >5,600 The September 18, 2016 State Duma elections in Russia were the first general elections since the Russian annexation of Crimea and Russian military intervention in Syria. As such they took place against the background of Western-imposed economic sanctions, rising Russian nationalism, and a general anti-Western mood prevalent in the media and the society at large. It also meant that for the first time Crimea would participate in the elections, leading to condemnation of the vote by Ukraine and non-recognition of the elections as legitimate by a string of Western powers, such as the US, Great Britain, France, Germany and others. Notwithstanding these various dynamic developments on domestic and foreign policy fronts the elections were an unusually dull affair with rare and unpronounced surprises.\nRussia Presidential Election, 2012 503 5,336 This collection covers the Russian presidential elections of March 4, 2012. It contains thousands of pages of unique print materials collected by East View researchers in Moscow and other Russian cities. This one of a kind collection provides researchers easy, time- and cost-saving access to the documents and propaganda materials of this important period of Russian political life. Given the extensive use of print material by both opposition and establishment the present collection of election ephemera becomes an invaluable resource for understanding the underlying political and social dynamics of the 2012 Russian presidential election.\nRussia State Duma Election, 2011 450 5,800 Ephemera produced by candidate campaigns, citizens, and the Russian government, gathered during and after the election period by East View on site.\nSouth Ossetia Presidential Election, 2012 78 468 This collection documents the presidential election process in the breakaway Republic of South Ossetia. It contains hundreds of pages of primary source material collected in South Ossetia and in Ossetian diaspora communities in the Russian Federation. The unique collection of election paraphernalia and ephemera from Ossetian presidential election provides access to otherwise unavailable material in one convenient location.\nTajikistan Parliamentary Election, 2015 40 524 The results of the March 1, 2015 Parliamentary Elections in Tajikistan were never in doubt. As in previous elections, the ruling People\u2019s Democratic Party (Hizbi Khalq\u012b-Demokrat\u012b Tojikiston) which has the backing also of the country\u2019s autocratic president Emomalii Rahmon, came on top with over 65% percent of the votes. Although there were additional 7 parties represented in the elections, they were never in competition for a majority representation, although some of them did indeed gain seats in the new parliament. A large part of the reason for the poor showing of the other parties was due to the restrictive campaigning environment that \u201cfailed to provide a level playing field for candidates,\u201d characterized by \u201crestrictions on the right to stand, freedoms of expression and assembly, and access to media limited the opportunity to make a free and informed choice.\u201d\nUkraine Parliamentary Election, 2012 1,866 22,344 This is the most comprehensive collection of election related ephemera and primary source material documenting the contentious Ukrainian Rada elections of October 28, 2012. It contains over 12,000 pages of unique print materials collected by East View researchers in Kiev, Kharkov, Simferopol, Crimea and elsewhere throughout Ukraine. Given the extensive use of print material by party-affiliated and independent candidates alike, designed to shape the election narrative in a low-information setting, the present collection of election ephemera becomes an important resource for understanding the underlying political and social dynamics of the 2012 Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada elections.\nUkraine Parliamentary Election, 2014 >300 >2,000 Much like the early Presidential Elections of 2014, the 2014 snap elections of the Verkhovna Rada marks a new era in Ukrainian politics. The composition of the new Rada is arguably the most reformist-minded as well as the most pro-Western since the Ukrainian independence. Despite the political and military setbacks and the general political instability in the country due to the war in the East and the annexation of Crimea, the elections were not marred by significant violations. Leading domestic and international election monitoring organizations were nearly unanimous in issuing a clean bill of health albeit with a number of important caveats and suggestions. Whether the present Verkhovna Rada is going to be able to strengthen the institutions designed to cushion the impact of radical economic and political transformations is a question in search of answers.\nUkraine Euromaidan Protests, 2013-2014 112 522 The present database represents the most comprehensive collection of ephemera and primary source material from the Euromaidan protests that rocked Kiev beginning on November 21, 2013. The collection contains over 500 pages of unique print materials collected by East View researchers at Kiev\u2019s Maidan Nezalezhnosti, the epicenter of the protests. East View's one of a kind collection provides researchers and analysts with easy, time- and cost-saving access to important documents, on-the-scene photographs, and various other print materials, which in turn would allow researchers to reconstruct the complex social and political dynamics at play during the protests with better precision.\nUkraine Presidential Election, 2014 150 1,622 A one of a kind collection of presidential ephemera from the May 2014 Early Presidential Election in Ukraine. It includes thousands of pages of scanned and digitized print materials collected by East View researchers in Kiev and elsewhere in the days leading up to the elections. It allows researchers and analysts to reconstruct the election process, gain invaluable insight into the main thematic preoccupations and ideas formulated by candidates in a time of profound national crisis, and assess the election process and its results from primary sources.",

According to the guidelines of the FTC, in order to be stamped or called \"handmade\" the work must be made solely by hand power or hand guidance In essence, this means that Heraldic Handmade Jewellery may be made using drills, lathes, and other machinery, but it must be guided by human hand. This precludes the use of punch presses and CNC machinery, to name a few processes that would not qualify as \"handmade\". Beyond that caveat it can be anything made out of anything that would be considered jewelry.\nThe American Gem Trade Association Spectrum awards, the Gem Center Idar Oberstein, and the De Beers Awards include awards specifically for handmade jewelry. Although there is much mass produced jewelry in the world, there are many people who prefer to have work that is hand-crafted by a real artisan, and the arena of hand made jewelry and other items will likely remain healthy because of that fact. Much jewelry that is marked or sold as \"hand made\" often is not truly so, though it may be essentially so.\nHeraldic Handmade Jewellery you can find, in a range of mixed materials, using everything from silver and gold, through to stainless steel, aluminum or wood: juxtaposing the contrast between a materials weight, texture and impact, creating contemporary jeweler wearable art.\nHeraldic items follow the significant steps by which any body can attracts to wards it. Heraldic Handmade Jewellery, Heraldic Hand Stitched Embroidery, Heraldic Wedding Jewellery, everything not only glitters, it also creates precious place in the core of the heart.",

        "raw_content": "We can\u2019t underestimate the power of the financial industry, as it has an impact on all the spheres of our lives. However, it also has faults, but this is where Islamic Finance can play a role.\nThe finance industry has a growing influence on our society. It affects many of the decisions we make, from those on the micro-scale concerning our daily expenditure on goods and services, to those on the macro-scale made by large corporations and governments. As shown by the recent financial crisis, a collapse in the industry can bring the world to its knees. In times of hardship, unemployment will rise, incomes will fall, and people\u2019s standard of living will decrease.\nDuring a recession, people are quick to blame the financial industry and highlight the greed of the bankers that may have caused the downturn in the first place. And the financial industry doesn\u2019t do itself any favours, with numerous examples of unethical behaviour occurring. For example, the Financial Services Authority in the UK are investigating whether some banks have been involved in money laundering and manipulating interest rates in order to generate more profit. A recent survey of financial services professionals across the United States and the United Kingdom clearly illustrated just how far individuals were willing to go to turn a profit. According to the survey, 24% of respondents believed that acting unethically may be required to be successful, and 26% said they had observed illegal practices taking place.\nAmidst all of this, an Islamic Finance industry has been born. This is a system of banking that is consistent with the principles of sharia and is generally upheld as an ethical form of banking. Its main features include the prohibition of interest for loans of money, as well as the sharing of risk and profit within transactions. However, the main concern with Islamic Finance is that many of its practices have focussed on serving businesses or high-net-worth investors, rather than Muslim consumers. And when a financial institution does offer Islamic banking services for the consumer, some are quick to point out that they aren\u2019t true to the principles of Islamic finance and still involve interest.\nIn light of this, the Finance section in emel has featured many consumer questions and answered them within an Islamic finance framework. For example, we have covered topics such as life insurance, saving, bonds, financing a new business, and sharia-compliant loans. We have also featured articles on teaching children about financial matters to get them saving early.",

        "raw_content": "Trapped In, Bury \u2013 Crazy Clown\u2019s Carnival\nAnyone that saw my face on first entering Crazy Clown\u2019s Carnival will have seen the stupid grin on it \u2013 for once there was a game that was living up to its billing and appeared to be delightfully different.\nOne of the things we don\u2019t do here at Escape Review, but many fellow sites and blogs do, is include the description of the room/plot from the game\u2019s website. Instead we\u2019ll give a quick one-line summary of the story or set-up, because in 95% of cases that\u2019s as much attention as the room itself pays to to it\u2019s plot. So when we see something like:\nThe clown has gone mad and won\u2019t let you leave his carnival tent until you\u2019ve completed all his challenges. If you\u2019ve played other escape games you can expect something completely different with this one. You\u2019ll need to use all your skill and teamwork to complete the clown\u2019s challenges, and if you enjoy playing games at the carnival fairground you\u2019ll love this!\nScared of clowns? Don\u2019t let that worry you, our clown isn\u2019t scary, he\u2019s just a little mad! This game is particularly suitable for family groups as well as groups of friends or colleagues.\nWe just assume: okay, it\u2019s a regular escape room with a fairground theme and maybe the odd game taken from a carnival.\nNot so in this case: Crazy Clown\u2019s Carnival is exactly what it says it is. The room is full of carnival games and not much else. Each has some sort of nasty twist to make them a bit tougher, and your final goal is visible right from the start \u2013 you just need to complete the rest of the room to get access to it \u2013 and looks like an intimidating ultimate challenge.\nAnd so after a quick briefing and intro video, we were off, with some enthusiasm, playing the games, getting clues and codes that unlocked other games and moving through the room. Lots of tests of skill rather than puzzles as such, and getting the cool novelty of being able to play some traditional fairground games without having to pay for every single throw. Well, two of us were. Our third player was busy on the damn claw machine, that well-known game where you try and position the damn claw over some fluffy toy to pick it up and drop it in the chute. Like the others, it had a twist to make it more difficult, but that wasn\u2019t the issue. The issue was that, even when lining it up right, most of the time it didn\u2019t seem to have the force to pick up the items you needed. And once we finally got one\u2026 it was the wrong one of the four that were in there, and we had to try again. It\u2019s genuinely no exaggeration to say that one of our players spent 40 minutes of the game on this. They had a lot less fun than we did, and charitably described the room as \u201ca bit monotonous.\u201d\nThat also coloured our experience of the rest of the game. For example, one \u2018puzzle\u2019 just required finding a very well hidden word and putting it into a word lock. We had assumed the word for that lock was coming from the damn claw machine, and would never have spotted it was elsewhere, were it not just for the fact that we were bored and just looking for anything that might still be relevant, while one member of the team continued to beaver away on the damn claw machine (we had, of course, tried having multiple people on the damn claw machine, working together and so on, but we were at the point where positioning it correctly wasn\u2019t the issue, it was just down to sheer luck if it would hold onto the item once it grabbed it). Which also highlights the other issue with the room: there\u2019s just not enough going on. If it weren\u2019t for the damn claw machine and this well hidden word, the three of us would have been through the room in around half an hour. So while it\u2019s tempting to say the room would have been great if not for the damn claw machine, I can also see us thinking it would have been way too short.\nThe room\u2019s finale, however, was a treat. It\u2019s a huge, imposing, physical test, whose presence has literally loomed over you the entire game. We were only able to beat it through careful teamwork and getting to the end was very satisfying. It took us a good ten minutes and was extremely nerve-wracking as one wrong move could send you all the way back to the start. And since we were starting it with 15 minutes on the clock, that would effectively have meant game over! Of course, the only reason it was this tense was because of the damn claw machine delaying us long enough to create such tension. The second problem is that we loved this puzzle because it involved doing something high up in the room. I\u2019m 5\u20198 and my team are 5\u20191 and 5\u20193. A stool is helpfully provided which I needed for the higher bits, and working together we were passing off control, moving the stool around and helping each other re-position. It felt like a proper team effort. But with a team where every player was 5\u20193, I\u2019d imagine it\u2019d be nearly impossible, even with the stool. And in a team where you have a player who is 6\u20190 or taller, they can probably do the entire puzzle themselves while the rest of the team watch. It played out perfectly for us but could be a very different experience depending on your team\u2019s heights!\nSo I love the idea of this game, enough that I\u2019d recommend it for those looking for something different. But they really, really need to improve the damn claw machine. It\u2019s notable that whenever I\u2019ve spoken to fellow enthusiasts about this room (or in one case, just mentioned we\u2019d been to Trapped In to the host of another game) the damn claw machine and how frustrating it was is the first thing that comes up. It casts such a long shadow over the room, and that shadow can\u2019t even be used to help position the damn claw.\nResult \u2013 we escaped with 4:30 left, taking two hints. Although one of those hints was just to tell us which ball in the damn claw machine to aim for.\nWebsite: http://trappedin.co.uk/\nTrapped In, Bury \u2013 Crazy Clown\u2019s Carnival Dean Love\nSummary: A potentially good game that's maybe a little slight and has one absolutely horrendous puzzle\nDamn flawed\nBreakout Manchester \u2013 Madchester \u2192",

        "raw_content": "MillennialsTelephone Benefits\nYou\u2019re probably reading this on your smartphone. Before the age of iPhones and tablets came upon us, there was the time of the telephone. The telephone revolutionized long-distance communication for people because if you needed to send someone a message, you no longer had to use snail mail. You just had to dial some numbers, and you would get connected to your intended recipient. Here are three benefits that the telephone introduced, explained in more detail.\nBefore, you had to endure waiting for a certain amount of time before you could receive the message intended for you. After you received it, you would then send back your response, which would then make your correspondent wait for a while before he or she reads it. When telephones came in, they made the sending and receiving of messages faster. You no longer had to wait a certain period because you\u2019re talking with the person already.\nBecause telephones allow you to listen to a message instead of waiting to read it, the accuracy of the message is now guaranteed. You can hear it straight from the source, and this is why telephone calls are deemed reliable than written messages in some cases. Whereas one could easily forge handwriting in letters, you can\u2019t just fake a voice in a telephone call. This is why the telephones are preferred, to the point that you can use telephone services with the internet. This is made possible by Session-Initiation Protocol or SIP trunks. People with internet access could now call their loved ones.\nREAD Important Uses of Inertial Navigation System (INS)\nThe telephone\u2019s fast and accurate nature became a valuable asset for emergency response teams. This enabled people to seek help in case of emergencies in their homes immediately. All they had to do was dial some numbers (usually 3, like 911) and report the situation to an officer.",

        "raw_content": "One of the main problems with the humanistic approach to therapy with the sexual assault survivor is the extreme focus on the individual\u2019s internal reality. The client\u2019s internal world is focused on to such a high degree that the external reality is overlooked or ignored altogether (Lerman, 1992). It assumes that a person can be separated from the real world in which he or she lives, and practically ignores the existence of an environment outside of the self. In essence, the counsellor disregards and discounts the real barriers and external problems that the client faces, instead focusing solely on imagined or internal difficulties.\nHumanistic approaches do not address the truth that people are very much related to and influenced by the environment in which they live. The barriers that exist for women and other marginalized groups are forgotten through this approach (Lerman, 1992). In a sexual assault scenario, the inner reality of the individual and her feelings about the assault become the focus of counselling, rather than a discussion surrounding the reality of rape culture and the existence of violence against women that is upheld in a patriarchal society.\nThe inevitable consequence of this sort of approach is that it relies on the myth \u201cit\u2019s all in your head\u201d (Greenspan, 1983, p. 126). Person-centred counsellors do not seem to recognize this fact, and they tend to suggest that the client is responsible for her own reality (Greenspan, 1983). A feminist counselling perspective, on the other hand, makes it clear that reality is not wholly determined internally. As Lerman (1992) illustrates, \u201ccontact with a boulder will hurt no matter how it is perceived\u201d (p. 12).\nSubscribing to the myth that the problem is all in the individual\u2019s head adversely affects clients who blame themselves for lacking total control over their lives (Lerman, 1992). It expects the individual to alter painful aspects of her life by herself, rather than utilize the community to support her. Furthermore, the notion that the problem is all in one\u2019s head continues to undermine women with a new set of false promises of power. It propels the false notion that there are no social constraints on the freedom to fulfill oneself, and that the universe is \u201cpleased to oblige [one\u2019s] wishes and aspirations, so long as [one is] open to change\u201d (Greenspan, 1983, p. 128). This promise of total personal power becomes a burden, as well as a false hope (Lerman).\nFeminist counselling recognizes that an individual woman cannot completely prevent sexual assault from occurring, despite common beliefs that she can do so by \u201crisk reduction\u201d tactics. These commonly upheld tactics include wearing \u201cless provocative\u201d clothing, not walking alone at night, limiting alcohol consumption, and reducing sexual promiscuity (Corcoran, 1992). Feminist counselling recognizes that sexual can happen to anyone, and essentially, counsellors underline the fact that rape happens because of rapists, not because of characteristics or behaviours of the survivors. The humanistic approach to counselling, in comparison, instructs the sexual assault survivor that she is in charge of her own recovery, and that the problem, rather than being within society or even the individual rapist, is within her. Methods like these are extremely unhelpful to women, because the burden of rape prevention is still placed on the woman, and thereby the potential for victim blaming remains high (Corcoran).\nThe feminist approach moves beyond imagined barriers and directly addresses the real social, political, and cultural environment that the individual faces. It does not view rape as an individual woman\u2019s problem. Instead, it is correctly seen as a community and societal problem that must be addressed on a societal level. Corcoran (1992) discusses the idea that sexual assault is not an individual problem, but rather the \u201cproduct of a patriarchal culture that promotes and allows rape through gender socialization, the acceptance of interpersonal violence, and institutionalized misogyny\u201d (p. 136). The unfortunate truth is that patriarchal institutions contribute to the oppression of women, resulting in increased barriers and decreased opportunities (Lerman, 1992).\nThe importance of recognizing the real barriers that women face is enormous. We cannot pretend that feeling unconditional positive regard, empathy, and genuineness from a counsellor will stop a woman from being sexually assaulted or allow her to come to terms with a society in which sexual assault is widespread. Humanistic therapists might suggest that it helps women to take responsibility for the sexual assault so that they can regain a sense of power (Corcoran, 1992). But the reality is that the responsibility of rape prevention cannot and should not reside within the individual woman. Statistics show that approximately 25% of Canadian women and 12% of Canadian men will be sexually assaulted within their lifetime (L. Gotell, personal communication, September 2008). A problem so prevalent can no longer be viewed as an individual problem, nor can it adequately be addressed this way in counselling.\nSexual assault is more than an individual problem because it affects every man and woman, directly or indirectly. If a person in the community is raped, other community members react. Muscio (2002) takes this notion further, stating that in a community where women love themselves and each other, \u201cno one feels \u2018lucky\u2019 it was \u2018some other woman\u2019 who got raped\u201d (p. 168). In a society where people are interconnected and where there is community, there is no such thing as \u201csome other woman\u201d.\nTo illustrate this concept, it is important to address real issues of rape and how they affect women in the community. In the city I live, the impact of sexual assault has arguably never been more underlined than it is right now. In the spring of 2008, a series of rapes occurred in the Garneau and Aspen Gardens areas of Edmonton. The police response to these attacks was to tell women to lock their doors and windows, even though it was clear that the perpetrator broke in. An anonymous group of women in the community organized in reaction to this situation, and began a postering campaign to address the perpetuation of sexual assault myths and \u201cblame the victim\u201d tactics (L. Gotell, personal communication, September 2008). One of the posters reads, \u201cThere is no such thing as an isolated attack on an individual woman. When a sister is raped, it is a rape of the sisterhood. The sisterhood is watching.\u201d It is signed, \u201cThe Garneau Sisterhood\u201d.\nAccording to a feminist perspective, counselling should likewise address the problem of sexual assault on a society level (Greenspan, 1983). To create real possibilities for women we must fight the systemic barriers that face them. We can do this by creating space within the counselling session to discuss the existence of sexual assault as a community problem, rather than individual problem. We can then address the importance of addressing the individual concern at a societal level, and inevitably, we can create real opportunities for women through a social, institutional, political, and cultural revolution (Greenspan).\nReal healing and loving oneself as a woman has to do not with accepting what happened to a person on the individual level, as person-centred theorists would suggest, but by becoming angry about a society that accepts the preposterous rate of sexual assault and continues to perpetuate \u201cblame the victim\u201d mythology. It is essential to recognize that \u201cthe symptoms that women bring to therapy are the individual manifestations of what is essentially a collective problem for all women [and] the cure for this problem must be collective as well\u201d (Greenspan, 1983, p. 203). Counselling cannot end women\u2019s oppression, but it can help women understand it and find ways to fight against it on a broader scale, and well as discover the collective power women do possess (Greenspan). In fighting the continued existence and acceptance of sexual assault, Muscio (2002) reminds us that \u201cwomen can be kicked when we are down, but no one is stupid or strong enough to kick us when we are standing up, all, together\u201d (p. 166).\nIn essence, a modality that focuses on the internal reality of the client to the exclusion of the environment they live in falls short. An individual cannot be separated from their environment, and to suggest so does not assist the client. To separate a sexual assault survivor from her community and insist that her problem is an individual one does a disservice to her, as well as to her community. The feminist approach to counselling acknowledges the existence of external barriers and assists the client in finding ways to fight against them through political activism.\nCorcoran, C. B. (1992).

        "raw_content": "artificial-intelligence-imagination.jpg\nThe future of AI lies in neuroscience. So says Google DeepMind\u2019s founder Demis Hassabis in a review paper published last week in the prestigious journal Neuron.\nHassabis is no stranger to both fields. Armed with a PhD in neuroscience, the computer maverick launched London-based DeepMind to recreate intelligence in silicon. In 2014, Google snagged up the company for over $500 million.\nIt\u2019s money well spent. Last year, DeepMind\u2019s AlphaGo wiped the floor with its human competitors in a series of Go challenges around the globe. Working with OpenAI, the non-profit AI research institution backed by Elon Musk, the company is steadily working towards machines with higher reasoning capabilities than ever before.\nThe company\u2019s secret sauce? Neuroscience.\nBaked into every DeepMind AI are concepts and ideas first discovered in our own brains. Deep learning and reinforcement learning - two pillars of contemporary AI - both loosely translate biological neuronal communication into formal mathematics.\nThe results, as exemplified by AlphaGo, are dramatic. But Hassabis argues that it\u2019s not enough.\nAs powerful as today\u2019s AIs are, each one is limited in the scope of what it can do. The goal is to build general AI with the ability to think, reason and learn flexibly and rapidly; AIs that can intuit about the real world and imagine better ones.\nTo get there, says Hassabis, we need to closer scrutinize the inner workings of the human mind - the only proof that such an intelligent system is even possible.\nIdentifying a common language between the two fields will create a \u201cvirtuous circle whereby research is accelerated through shared theoretical insights and common empirical advances,\u201d Hassabis and colleagues write.\nThe Problem With Intelligence\nThe bar is high for AI researchers striving to bust through the limits of contemporary AI.\nDepending on their specific tasks, machine learning algorithms are set up with specific mathematical structures. Through millions of examples, artificial neural networks learn to fine-tune the strength of their connections until they achieve the perfect state that lets them complete the task with high accuracy - may it be identifying faces or translating languages.\nBecause each algorithm is highly tailored to the task at hand, relearning a new task often erases the established connections. This leads to \u201ccatastrophic forgetting,\u201d and while the AI learns the new task, it completely overwrites the previous one.\nThe dilemma of continuous learning is just one challenge. Others are even less defined but arguably more crucial for building the flexible, inventive minds we cherish.\nEmbodied cognition is a big one. As Hassabis explains, it\u2019s the ability to build knowledge from interacting with the world through sensory and motor experiences, and creating abstract thought from there.\nIt\u2019s the sort of good old-fashioned common sense that we humans have, an intuition about the world that\u2019s hard to describe but extremely useful for the daily problems we face.\nEven harder to program are traits like imagination. That\u2019s where AIs limited to one specific task really fail, says Hassabis. Imagination and innovation relies on models we\u2019ve already built about our world, and extrapolating new scenarios from them. They\u2019re hugely powerful planning tools - but research into these capabilities for AI is still in its infancy.\nInspirations from the Brain\nIt\u2019s actually not widely appreciated among AI researchers that many of today\u2019s pivotal machine learning algorithms come from research into animal learning, says Hassabis.\nAn example: recent findings in neuroscience show that the hippocampus - a seahorse-shaped structure that acts as a hub for encoding memory - replays those experiences in fast-forward during rest and sleep.\nThis offline replay allows the brain to \u201clearn anew from successes or failures that occurred in the past,\u201d says Hassabis.\nAI researchers snagged the idea up, and implemented a rudimentary version into an algorithm that combined deep learning and reinforcement learning. The result is powerful neural networks that learn based on experience. They compare current situations with previous events stored in memory, and take actions that previously led to reward.\nThese agents show \u201cstriking gains in performance\u201d over traditional deep learning algorithms. They\u2019re also great at learning on the fly: rather than needing millions of examples, they just need a handful.\nSimilarly, neuroscience has been a fruitful source of inspiration for other advancements in AI, including algorithms equipped with a \u201cmental sketchpad\u201d that allows them to plan convoluted problems more efficiently.\nA Booming Future\nThe advent of brain imaging tools and genetic bioengineering are offering anunprecedented look at how biological neural networks organize and combine to tackle problems.\nAs neuroscientists work to solve the \u201cneural code\u201d - the basic computations that support brain function - it offers an expanding toolbox for AI researchers to tinker with.\nOne area where AIs can benefit from the brain is our knowledge of core concepts that relate to the physical world - spaces, numbers, objects, and so on. Like mental Legos, the concepts form the basic building blocks from which we can construct mental models that guide inferences and predictions about the world.\nWe\u2019ve already begun exploring ideas to address the challenge, says Hassabis. Studies with humans show that we decompose sensory information down into individual objects and relations. When implanted in code, it\u2019s already led to human-level performance on challenging reasoning tasks.\nThen there\u2019s transfer learning, the ability that takes AIs from one-trick ponies to flexible thinkers capable of tackling any problem. One method, called progressive networks, captures some of the basic principles in transfer learning and was successfully used to train a real robot arm based on simulations.\nIntriguingly, these networks resemble a computational model of how the brain learns sequential tasks, says Hassabis.\nThe problem is neuroscience hasn\u2019t figured out how humans and animals achieve high-level knowledge transfer. It\u2019s possible that the brain extracts abstract knowledge structures and how they relate to one another, but so far there\u2019s no direct evidence that supports this kind of coding.\nWithout doubt AIs have a lot to learn from the human brain. But the benefits are reciprocal. Modern neuroscience, for all its powerful imaging tools and optogenetics, has only just begun unraveling how neural networks support higher intelligence.\n\u201cNeuroscientists often have only quite vague notions of the mechanisms that underlie the concepts they study,\u201d says Hassabis. Because AI research relies on stringent mathematics, the field could offer a way to clarify those vague concepts into testable hypotheses.\nOf course, it\u2019s unlikely that AI and the brain will always work the same way. The two fields tackle intelligence from dramatically different angles: neuroscience asks how the brain works and the underlying biological principles; AI is more utilitarian and free from the constraints of evolution.\nBut we can think of AI as applied (rather than theoretical) computational neuroscience, says Hassabis, and there\u2019s a lot to look forward to.\nDistilling intelligence into algorithms and comparing it to the human brain \u201cmay yield insights into some of the deepest and most enduring mysteries of the mind,\u201d he writes.\nThink creativity, dreams, imagination, and - perhaps one day - even consciousness.\nShelly Xuelai Fan is a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco, where she studies ways to make old brains young again. In addition to research, she\u2019s also an avid science writer with an insatiable obsession with biotech, AI and all things neuro. She spends her spare time kayaking, bike camping and getting lost in the woods.\nhttps://singularityhub.com/2017/08/02/why-neuroscience-is-the-key-to-inn...",

        "raw_content": "pivotaltime2.jpg\npivotaltime.jpg\nIt was the Greek philosopher Heraclitus who first said, \u201cThe only thing that is constant is change.\u201d\nHe was onto something. But even he would likely be left speechless at the scale and pace of change the world has experienced in the past 100 years - not to mention the past 10.\nSince 1917, the global population has gone from 1.9 billion people to 7.5 billion. Life expectancy has more than doubled in many developing countries and risen significantly in developed countries. In 1917 only eight percent of homes had phones - in the form of landline telephones - while today more than seven in 10 Americans own a smartphone - aka, a supercomputer that fits in their pockets.\nAnd things aren\u2019t going to slow down anytime soon. In a talk at Singularity University\u2019s Global Summit this week in San Francisco, SU cofounder and chairman Peter Diamandis told the audience, \u201cTomorrow\u2019s speed of change will make today look like we\u2019re crawling.\u201d He then shared his point of view about some of the most important factors driving this accelerating change.\nPeter Diamandis at Singularity University\u2019s Global Summit in San Francisco.\nIn 1965, Gordon Moore (cofounder of Intel) predicted computer chips would double in power and halve in cost every 18 to 24 months. What became known as Moore\u2019s Law turned out to be accurate, and today affordable computer chips contain a billion or more transistors spaced just nanometers apart.\nThat means computers can do exponentially more calculations per second than they could thirty, twenty, or ten years ago - and at a dramatically lower cost. This in turn means we can generate a lot more information, and use computers for all kinds of applications they wouldn\u2019t have been able to handle in the past (like diagnosing rare forms of cancer, for example).\nIncreased computing power is the basis for a myriad of technological advances, which themselves are converging in ways we couldn\u2019t have imagined a couple decades ago. As new technologies advance, the interactions between various subsets of those technologies create new opportunities that accelerate the pace of change much more than any single technology can on its own.\nA breakthrough in biotechnology, for example, might spring from a crucial development in artificial intelligence. An advance in solar energy could come about by applying concepts from nanotechnology.\nInterface Moments\nTechnology is becoming more accessible even to the most non-techy among us. The internet was once the domain of scientists and coders, but these days anyone can make their own web page, and browsers make those pages easily searchable. Now, interfaces are opening up areas like robotics or 3D printing.\nAs Diamandis put it, \u201cYou don\u2019t need to know how to code to 3D print an attachment for your phone. We\u2019re going from mind to materialization, from intentionality to implication.\u201d\nArtificial intelligence is what Diamandis calls \u201cthe ultimate interface moment,\u201d enabling everyone who can speak their mind to connect and leverage exponential technologies.\nToday there are about three billion people around the world connected to the internet\u2014that\u2019s up from 1.8 billion in 2010. But projections show that by 2025 there will be eight billion people connected. This is thanks to a race between tech billionaires to wrap the Earth in internet; Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX has plans to launch a network of 4,425 satellites to get the job done, while Google\u2019s Project Loon is using giant polyethylene balloons for the task.\nThese projects will enable five billion new minds to come online, and those minds will have access to exponential technologies via interface moments.\nDiamandis predicts that after we establish a 5G network with speeds of 10\u2013100 Gbps, a proliferation of sensors will follow, to the point that there\u2019ll be around 100,000 sensors per city block. These sensors will be equipped with the most advanced AI, and the combination of these two will yield an incredible amount of knowledge.\n\u201cBy 2030 we\u2019re heading towards 100 trillion sensors,\u201d Diamandis said. \u201cWe\u2019re heading towards a world in which we\u2019re going to be able to know anything we want, anywhere we want, anytime we want.\u201d He added that tens of thousands of drones will hover over every major city.\n\u201cIf you think there\u2019s an arms race going on for AI, there\u2019s also one for HI - human intelligence,\u201d Diamandis said. He explained that if a genius was born in a remote village 100 years ago, he or she would likely not have been able to gain access to the resources needed to put his or her gifts to widely productive use. But that\u2019s about to change.\nPrivate companies as well as military programs are working on brain-machine interfaces, with the ultimate aim of uploading the human mind. The focus in the future will be on increasing intelligence of individuals as well as companies and even countries.\nA final crucial factor driving mass acceleration is the increase in wealth concentration. \u201cWe\u2019re living in a time when there\u2019s more wealth in the hands of private individuals, and they\u2019re willing to take bigger risks than ever before,\u201d Diamandis said. Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates are putting millions of dollars towards philanthropic causes that will benefit not only themselves, but humanity at large.\nOne of the biggest implications of the rate at which the world is changing, Diamandis said, is that the cost of everything is trending towards zero. We are heading towards abundance, and the evidence lies in the reduction of extreme poverty we\u2019ve already seen and will continue to see at an even more rapid rate.\nListening to Diamandis\u2019 optimism, it\u2019s hard not to find it contagious.\n\u201cThe world is becoming better at an extraordinary rate,\u201d he said, pointing out the rises in literacy, democracy, vaccinations, and life expectancy, and the concurrent decreases in child mortality, birth rate, and poverty.\n\u201cWe\u2019re alive during a pivotal time in human history,\u201d he concluded. \u201cThere is nothing we don\u2019t have access to.\u201d\nhttps://singularityhub.com/2017/08/16/why-the-world-is-getting-better-at...\nMistakes at Work Can be a Good Thing",

But we've no property for sale in Le Touquet Paris Plage at the moment. And that's something we want to change.\nIf you have a property to sell in Le Touquet Paris Plage (or nearby) then act now to get a 50% discount.\nJust place your advert in the normal way (Click here to place your advert). Then send us an email quoting \"Le Touquet Paris Plage\" and telling us that you you saw this offer.\nLe Touquet Paris Plage Property Listings and Info\nFor buying and selling property in Le Touquet Paris Plage\nLe Touquet Paris Plage - fashionable northern resort\nThe seaside resort of Le Touquet Paris Plage is a distinctly upmarket holiday resort, that has been popular with the elite of both France and England since it was created in the late 19th century. Once nothing more than wild sand dunes and forests, the resort has its roots in 1876, when the owner of the newspaper Le Figaro began to develop it as a weekend destination for rich Parisians. Land was later purchased here by an Englishman who built luxury villas to sell to wealthy English, and as the rich and famous of both countries began to flock to the resort it gained in popularity and reputation.\nAn expensive charm\nLe Touquet Paris Plage has the kind of sophisticated charm that has always been the essence of the Riviera resorts in the south of the country. It was created to appeal to the smart and wealthy sets from London and Paris, and although today it has added more family oriented attractions such as swimming pools and water slide parks, it is still one of the more expensive places to holiday... and certainly to buy property.\nChic shopping\nLe Touquet Paris Plage is bursting with the chicest of shops, but you may have to dig deep into your pocket if you want to take advantage of them. These days it is possible to find less expensive fast food outlets in the resort, as Le Touquet has had to move with the times, but the majority of the restaurants and hotels are still very upmarket and pricey... although it has to be said, you do get what you pay for with wonderful gourmet food and luxury surroundings!\nRoaring twenties style\nThe architecture of many of the properties here is very \"Roaring Twenties\", and this has become retro chic and highly desirable. Many of France's and England's top architects were brought in to design villas, and these types of properties fetch extremely high prices in today's elite market. Unlike some of the fashionable resorts of that era, Le Touquet retains its reputation and popularity and is likely to be busy at any time of year, although the summer months are a clear favourite with most holidaymakers.\nThings to do in Le Touquet\nApart from shopping and dining, what can you do in Le Touquet? Everything is available, so what you can do depends mostly on what's in your wallet. The cheaper alternatives include taking advantage of the many campsites that are dotted around on the outskirts of the resort, many of which have great facilities of their own. Of course, if you just want to enjoy the sea and sand then you can have a good day out for very little cash. Those with children in tow may enjoy a trip to the extensive swimming pool and water slide complex, and anyone with a yearning to be James Bond can try their luck in the flashy casinos for which the resort is famed. There is all manner of entertainment laid on in Le Touquet, and the night-life is lively and varied.\nSporting activities galore\nThe area offers all possible sporting activities too, with golf courses nearby as well as numerous tennis courts, sand yachting and horse-riding. It is easy to forget when speaking of the urban sophistication of the resort that Le Touquet is also an area of great natural beauty, and there are some lovely walks to be found in the pine forests that abut the sand dunes.\nThe beach, the nightlife and the casinos aren't all there is to this part of France, and it is definitely worth taking a car and getting out and about to explore the wider area. The Pas de Calais has many small and delightful old villages to discover, and some truly beautiful countryside too. Arras has a fascinating wartime heritage, while the port town of Calais itself is a bustling and exciting destination... and great for cheaper shopping trips.\nThere are airports with domestic flights near to the resort, but if you want to fly direct from the UK then Paris and Paris Beauvais are probably the best options. Airlines serving these airports include Ryanair, Air France, British Airways, flybe, easyJet, Jet2 and Aer Lingus. The Channel Tunnel is another possibility, as are the ferries with the ports of Calais, Boulogne and Dieppe all very accessible. Road travellers will find the resort from the A16.\nProperty prices and availability in and around Le Touquet Paris Plage\nMany of the properties in the resort are expensive, as you would expect from such a fashionable destination. If you want to be in the heart of Le Touquet you will have to pay the prices, but if you are seeking a cheaper property it is worth looking at neighbouring towns such as Arras and Montreuil, where it is possible to find some real bargains and still have access to Le Touquet.\nDo you know Le Touquet Paris Plage better than we do? Do you have photos of Le Touquet Paris Plage?\nLe Touquet Paris Plage AT A GLANCE\nWHERE IS Le Touquet Paris Plage?\nLe Touquet Paris Plage is located in the north of France, on the south-west coast of the Pas de Calais department.\nLe Touquet Paris Plage Property Map\nAccess: By air: The nearest major airport with a good choice of direct flights from the UK is Paris. By boat: The town is well served by ferry ports, the nearest being Calais, Boulogne and Dieppe. By road: The resort can be accessed from the A16 auto route.\nEconomy: Upmarket tourism is the mainstay of the economy.\nInteresting fact: Noel Coward used to spend weekends in Le Touquet.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Special Report/ Lanka Rubber Global Consortium aims to boost exports\nLanka Rubber Global Consortium aims to boost exports\nFive companies unite to form Special Purpose Vehicle in partnership with EDB, ADB and other like-minded stakeholders\nRubber products industry is key sector contributing 7% to overall exports from Sri Lanka\n\u2018Collaborate to compete\u2019 global concept strategy to help SMEs\nA unique Lanka Rubber Global Consortium was launched last week to boost the industry\u2019s exports under a groundbreaking multi-stakeholder initiative.\nIncorporated as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), the consortium aims to engage collaboratively in business activities pertaining to value chain development and supply chain management processes in polymer and allied industries, with a view to remain competitive in global markets in a sustainable manner.\nFor the first time, the consortium has brought together rubber sector manufacturers, exporters, the Exports Development Board (EDB), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), rubber sector consultants from local and foreign domains, and many other stakeholders around a single entity.\nThe SPV as a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) cluster is a widely adopted mechanism across the global context.\nThe consortium consists of five rubber sector companies, namely, Jafferjee Brothers Exports Ltd, Polymer Products Impex Ltd, Sinwa Holdings, Textrip Ltd. and Microcells Ltd.\nIn addition to encouraging collective strength channelling among Sri Lankan rubber sector manufacturers, the consortium raises the bar of operational excellence in the Sri Lankan rubber sector by enabling local brands to benchmark with global standards and industry best practices, which ultimately enhances the status of the rubber industry in the country.\nThe consortium\u2019s office will be operational from the EDB building and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between EDB and the consortium. The office was ceremoniously opened yesterday.\nThe goal of the consortium is to strengthen the rubber value chain, which would result in building a global brand for Sri Lankan rubber products, and to become a dynamic one-stop shop for all buyers, investors and other interested stakeholders. The Lanka Rubber Global Consortium\u2019s main activities would be to collaboratively improve export competitiveness of rubber products by jointly setting up a finite element analysis centre, joint venture manufacturing, building forward and backward linkages in the rubber value chain, joint product development and R&D facilities, which result in improving the overall growth of the entire rubber value chain. The consortium\u2019s vision is to make local brands more competitive in the global arena, as this would help to drive the country towards a highly competitive export-oriented economy.\nThe idea of a consortium originated when EDB, in collaboration with ADB, carried out a study showing that most companies in the industry are SMEs, and identified issues being encountered by such companies in their value chains.\nOne of the issues identified by the study was that SMEs are, individually, in a weak position to address some common issues prevailing in the value chain. Therefore, it was proposed that a collective effort might bring solutions which could be executed through the Cluster Development and Financing approach accepted worldwide. The consortium was born of the adoption of a \u2018Collaborate to compete\u2019 theme that connects corporates with homogenous needs, competencies and business interests, with the aim of mutual prosperity.\nEDB said the rubber product sector has been identified as a trust industry, which has the potential to contribute markedly to export revenue and has established a reputation for quality and reliability. Sri Lanka produces a wide variety of value-added rubber products from both latex and dry rubber, such as solid tyres, latex gloves, rubber bands, extrusions, beadings, mats, and miscellaneous sports goods by processing raw rubber for exports.\nThe rubber products industry is a key sector, contributing 6.9% to exports in 2016. The major markets are the US, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Canada, the UK and Brazil. Sri Lanka supplies to major international brands such as Continental, Solideal, Wonder Grip, Mapa, and Safety Work, Tesco. Companies in the rubber industry use state-of-the-art technologies in manufacturing the above international brands.\nThe tyre sector accounts for the largest share of turnover (60%) of rubber exports, including solid tyres, pneumatic tyres, bicycle tyres, three wheeler tyres, and a variety of smaller tyre categories. Currently Sri Lanka is considered as the global leader in solid tyres, accounting for over 20% of the global demand, and rubber gloves, catering to over 7% of the global demand. EDB said it has implemented several programs to assist the rubber industry in the past years, such as System Development Program to obtain ISO 14001 and 50001 certifications, Technical Training and Exposure programs in UK and Malaysia, Financial Schemes to obtain relevant certifications and testing not available in Sri Lanka, trade fair participation and B2B meetings in several countries.\nVision of consortium is to strengthen rubber value chain and be dynamic: Chairman\nI am greatly honoured to stand before you on behalf of the LRGC Board of Directors and indeed on my own behalf, to earnestly express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to allow us to gather here to witness the effort and achievement that can only be described as a \u2018dream come true\u2019.\nThis dream has come about to its fullest culmination after a short period of time due to the hardwork and determination of all of us. The Sri Lanka Export Development Board, together with the Asian Development Bank, gave birth to Lanka Rubber Global Consortium Ltd., by making it the first rubber SPV in Sri Lanka.\nJafferjee Brothers Exports Ltd., Polymer Products Impex Ltd., Sinwa Holdings (Ltd.), Textrip Ltd. and Microcells Ltd. volunteered to be a part of this vehicle. I wish to thank you most profoundly for your support and encouragement given throughout the commissioning of this project.\nIn today\u2019s global competitive environment, companies have to face a lot of challenges to sustain themselves in the marketplace. Companies come up with different strategies to mitigate those challenges. Some companies fail in the long run due to their incapability and the lack of resources.\nLanka Rubber Global Consortium\u2019s main aim is to find out those pain points which our partners face and make strategies to overcome those challenges collectively. One individual player battling in the global marketplace will be disadvantageous but forming an alliance and entering into the global marketplace will give many chances to win the battle and help to negate competitors. This venture has been initiated based on the necessity of \u2018Collaborative to Compete\u2019.\nThe vision of the company is to strengthen the rubber value chain which would result in building a global brand for Sri Lankan rubber products and to become the dynamic one-stop-shop for all buyers, investors and stakeholders.\nInitially the main target of the consortium would be to collaboratively improve export competitiveness of rubber products by joint venture manufacturing, building forward and backward linkages in the rubber value chain, joint product development and R&D facilities which hopefully will result in improving the overall growth of entire process. This project is a stepping stone to a forthcoming of the Rubber Master Plan. To start operations, LRGC has decided to go ahead with a joint procurement project, a joint warehousing project, and identify new markets.\nLanka Rubber Global Consortium Chairman Mohideen Cader said that the vision of the new industry initiative was to strengthen the rubber value chain and be dynamic. Following are his remarks at the launch:\nJoint procurement and identifying new markets projects have already been started. LRGC has also entered into digital platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. An official website comprising all the updated information is already in operation.\nThe wider product portfolio range which serves different industries, a pooled set of talented, experienced management, and the support and guidance from well-recognised Government organisations and institutes act as the key differentiating points of LRGC.\nLRGC is also guided by values such as mutual trust and understanding among partners, provision of maximum benefits to our partners without discrimination, non-isolation of individual partners, integrity and innovation through success. We also expect to build strong network of relationships between all rubber industry stakeholders.\nOur ultimate goal is to be the best solution provider for all the rubber-related products and to improve exports of the country. Achievement of all these goals will not only benefit us but also add value to the entire rubber value chain in Sri Lanka.\nAs the Chairman of the LRGC, I am really proud and feel greatly honoured that as a team we have proven that once determination is there and the will to achieve is embedded in the soul, everything is possible. And by the grace of the great we will continue to do more for the benefit of all. We thank you for lending your hands for the formation of this company and wish that you will continue your support and guidance throughout our journey\nHelping local brands to compete globally\nIt is my great pleasure and honour to welcome you all to the opening ceremony of Lanka Rubber Global Consortium Ltd., the entity incorporated as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to engage collaboratively in business activities pertaining to value chain development and supply chain management processes in polymer and allied industries with a view to remaining competitive in global markets in a sustainable manner.\nFor the first time in Sri Lanka, the consortium has brought together rubber sector manufacturers, exporters, the Export Development Board, Asian Development Bank, rubber sector consultants from local and foreign domains, and many other stakeholders around a single entity.\nI would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairperson of EDB for offering us an office space in the EDB building for the first year of operation of LRGC.\nThe vision of the Lanka Rubber Global Consortium is to create local brands that are more competitive in the global arena as this would help to improve the country to drive towards a highly-competitive export-oriented economy.\nLanka Rubber Global Consortium CEO M.S.M. Sulaiman said that the aim of the multi-stakeholder initiative was to create local brands which are more\ncompetitive globally. Following are excerpts:\nThe Chairman of LRGC will brief you on the current status of the SPV in his speech today at the press conference.\nWe appreciate your participation in this ceremony and look forward to having your strong support and active participation in the future to make this journey a truly successful one.\nRaising the bar of operational excellence in Sri Lankan rubber sector: EDB Chief\nIt is indeed a pleasure to address you at this milestone event. Congratulations and best wishes for the consortium to continue for many years in serving the industry under the theme of \u2018Collaborate to Compete\u2019.\nAlthough the consortium and the members are young, I am confident they are capable and energetic enough to take up the challenges of the ever-changing business environment on a single economic collaboration platform.\nThe rubber product sector has been identified as a trust industry which has a potential to contribute markedly to the export revenue and established a reputation for quality and reliability. The industry\u2019s contribution was 6.9 % to exports in 2016 and 7.3% up to January to November 2017.\nThe EDB has implemented several programs to assist the rubber industry in the recent past, i.e. system development program to obtain ISO 14001 and 50001 certifications, technical training and exposure programs in UK and Malaysia.\nThe EDB having collaborated with Asian Development Bank carried out a study on \u2018SME Cluster Development\u2019 to identify issues being encountered by companies in their value chains pertaining to few identified sectors in Sri Lanka such as rubber, fruits and vegetables with the objective of assisting them to address some of the major issues hindering exports.\nA value chain study for the rubber sector was carried out under this project. One of the issues identified by the study was that though these companies individually were in a weak position to address common issues prevailing in the value chain, collective effort might bring solutions that could be executed through the cluster development and financing approach accepted worldwide.\nSri Lanka Export Development Board Chairperson and Chief Executive Indira Malwatte said that the launch of the Lanka Rubber Global Consortium will raise the bar of \u201coperational excellence\u201d in the sector and enhance prospects and growth. Following is her speech at the launch:\nGiving impetus to the rapid adoption of \u2018Collaborate to Compete\u2019 theme, the EDB and industry with the assistance of ADB has embraced a novel concept, by pioneering initiative to establish product clusters by way of formation of a \u2018Special Purpose Vehicle\u2019 simply referred to as SPV, a new economic collaboration platform that connects corporates with homogenous needs, competencies and business interests with the aim of mutual prosperity.\nThe PWC, the local counterpart of the project, coordinated this initiative together with EDB and ADB. Five major Sri Lankan rubber sector exporters have marked a new chapter in the country\u2019s business economy by coming together to form a business alliance under the umbrella of a Special Purpose Vehicle named \u2018Lanka Rubber Global Consortium\u2019.\nSPV encapsulates collective strength channelling among the Sri Lankan rubber sector manufacturers, raises the bar of operational excellence in the Sri Lankan rubber sector and make provisions for the local brands to benchmark with the global standards and industry best practices, which ultimately enhances the status of the rubber industry in the country.\nWhilst congratulating the Lanka Rubber Global Consortium, once again I take this opportunity to wish them all the very best in their future endeavours.\nI would also like to thank ADB for joining hands with EDB in undertaking this project.\nThank you PWC for your efforts in coordinating this project.\nThere is no doubt in my mind that with a collaboration of competencies and business interests focus on mutual prosperity our country can be a global force in the rubber sector.\nGlobal Network & Cluster Pulse Founder hails move\nFounder of the Global Network & Cluster Pulse and Mentor on Road \u2013 India, USA and Sri Lanka Jagat Shah has commended the formation of the Lanka Rubber Global Consortium.\nIn a message to mark the launch, he said: \u201cThis is a historic day for Sri Lanka in the cluster approach to SME competitiveness. Export consortia is a proven tool around the world for SME growth. I congratulate the entire team of LRGC for taking this first step which is the most difficult of all. I also thank EDB, ADB and PWC for full support to this initiative. LRGC can now look for joint trade missions abroad, discussion on JV with foreign companies and warehouse abroad. I am confident, that with the support and backing of the EDB, this initiative will scale heights of excellence. I will remain connected to this consortia for lifetime as a mentor.\u201d",

Here is the opening:\nThe promising graphene oxide sieve could be highly efficient at filtering salts, and will now be tested against existing desalination membranes.\nIt has previously been difficult to manufacture graphene-based barriers on an industrial scale.\nReporting their results in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, scientists from the University of Manchester, led by Dr Rahul Nair, shows how they solved some of the challenges by using a chemical derivative called graphene oxide.\nIsolated and characterised by a University of Manchester-led team in 2004, graphene comprises a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Its unusual properties, such as extraordinary tensile strength and electrical conductivity, have earmarked it as one of the most promising materials for future applications.\nBut it has been difficult to produce large quantities of single-layer graphene using existing methods, such as chemical vapour deposition (CVD). Current production routes are also quite costly.\nOn the other hand, said Dr Nair, \"graphene oxide can be produced by simple oxidation in the lab\".\nHe told BBC News: \"As an ink or solution, we can compose it on a substrate or porous material. Then we can use it as a membrane.\n\"In terms of scalability and the cost of the material, graphene oxide has a potential advantage over single-layered graphene.\"\nOf the single-layer graphene he added: \"To make it permeable, you need to drill small holes in the membrane. But if the hole size is larger than one nanometre, the salts go through that hole. You have to make a membrane with a very uniform less-than-one-nanometre hole size to make it useful for desalination. It is a really challenging job.\"\nGraphene oxide membranes have already proven their worth in sieving out small nanoparticles, organic molecules and even large salts. But until now, they couldn't be used to filter out common salts, which require even smaller sieves.\nPrevious work had shown that graphene oxide membranes became slightly swollen when immersed in water, allowing smaller salts to flow through the pores along with water molecules.\nNow, Dr Nair and colleagues demonstrated that placing walls made of epoxy resin (a substance used in coatings and glues) on either side of the graphene oxide membrane was sufficient to stop the expansion.\nRestricting the swelling in this way also allowed the scientists to tune the properties of the membrane, letting through less or more common salt for example.\nGraphene is one of the most useful products ever invented but apparently difficult to use on a commercial scale, at least so far. Mrs Fuller drew my attention to graphene years ago and wanted to know how to invest in it? I remain convinced that it will eventually have many applications which remain almost unimaginable today.\nMusings from the Oil Patch March 7th 2017\nThanks to a subscriber for this edition of Allen Brooks\u2019 ever interesting report for PPHB. Here is a section on Solar cells\nA more recent analysis by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory covering 1998 to 2015 shows a different measure of PV cost. (See Exhibit 15 on next page.) The pattern of that decline is interesting. It took 11 years for the price per watt to drop from $12 to $8. Notice how the cost per watt dropped between 1998 and 2000, but then remained flat until 2002, after which it declined for the next three years. Starting in 2005, the cost slowly increased for two years before beginning a slow decline that lasted for two years. In 2009, the pace of decline accelerated until it reached about $4 per watt, or half the 2009 value. The recent decline coincides with China\u2019s entrance into the Solar panel manufacturing business and its prompt dumping of surplus output into the U.S. market, driving down panel prices and driving U.S. manufacturers out of business.\nIt is difficult to separate how much of the historical price decline came from technological improvements versus that from a misguided investment strategy by China. More importantly, will these price reduction trends continue as in the past and how dependent on technological breakthroughs in material science are lower prices in the future?\nThe cost of producing Solar cells collapsed as China introduced economics of scale to the market. That has been perhaps the greatest influence on the price of cells and has contributed to the collapse of the investable sector because so many companies are now running at a loss. There have already been a significant number of bankruptcies and remaining companies are still in a highly competitive environment.\nNew efficiency record for large perovskite solar cell\nThis article by Eric Mack for Gizmag may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\n\"Perovskites came out of nowhere in 2009, with an efficiency rating of 3.8 percent, and have since grown in leaps and bounds,\" said Anita Ho-Baillie, a Senior Research Fellow at the UNSW's Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics. \"I think we can get to 24 percent within a year or so.\"\nThe Solar cells are made from crystals grown into a particular structure called perovskite. Smooth layers of perovskite with large crystal grain sizes allow the cells to absorb more light. The technology has been advancing fast and attracting plenty of attention thanks to its ease of production and low cost compared to silicon cells.\n\"The diversity of chemical compositions also allows cells be transparent, or made of different colors,\" said Ho-Baillie. \"Imagine being able to cover every surface of buildings, devices and cars with Solar cells.\"\nPerovskite cells do have downsides like much less durability, something Ho-Baillie and her team say they're confident they can improve, while also shooting for higher levels of efficiency.\nPerovskite is a development stage technology that is likely to play an important role in the future of Solar cells but it could be a decade before it reaches commercial utility. The primary argument supporting perovskite is the relative cost of producing the crystals versus the panels used today. That enhances the technology\u2019s competitiveness so that cells do not need to be as efficient because they are so much cheaper. However what do need to be overcome are the issues described above regarding durability which are non-trivial.\nElon Musk: Tesla Solar Roof Will Likely Cost Less Than a Normal Roof\nHere is this short article from Futurism:\nTesla CEO Elon Musk said the Solar roof that will be sold under a combined Tesla-SolarCity will likely cost less than a normal roof to install.\nTesla and SolarCity shareholders voted in favor of the merger, a deal worth $2 billion, Thursday. In late October, Musk unveiled a new Solar roof product to show his vision for a combined company with SolarCity, but did not provide specifics on how much it would cost.\nOn Thursday after the shareholder vote, Musk said its Solar roof will likely cost less than a normal roof:\n\u201cIt\u2019s looking quite promising that a Solar roof will actually cost less than a normal roof before you even take the value of electricity into account. So the basic proposition would be, \u2018Would you like a roof that looks better than a normal roof, lasts twice as long, costs less and by the way generates electricity?\u2019 It\u2019s like, why would you get anything else?\u201d\nMusk added the price he is speaking to factors in the cost of labor.\nDuring a Nov. 1 conference call, SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive said that the companies are aiming for 40 cents a Watt, which would put it in line with the competition.\nMusk unveiled four Solar shingle options for a Solar roof at the Oct. 28 event. The Solar roof will incorporate glass developed by Tesla\u2019s new glass division.\nTesla will produce the Solar cells for the roof with Panasonic at a manufacturing facility in Buffalo, New York.\nYes, Solar power does not produce electricity after sunset or when you are beneath heavy clouds, but it is the most flexible and increasingly power. Mrs Fuller and I have Solar panels on our house in Devon and if the roof ever needs to be replaced, I would probably not hesitate to do so with Solar roof shingles.\nThis item continues in the Subscriber\u2019s Area, where two further reports are posted.\nSunEdison's TerraForm Units Both Say They're Seeking Buyers\nThis article by Tiffany Kary and Christopher Martin for Bloomberg may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\nMultiple companies have expressed interest in TerraForm Power. Golden Concord Holdings Ltd., a Chinese clean-energy group, is planning to bid for SunEdison\u2019s controlling stake in the company, people familiar with the plans said in August. That would challenge a joint offer from Canada\u2019s biggest alternative- asset manager, Brookfield Asset Management Inc., and billionaire David Tepper\u2019s Appaloosa Management LP hedge fund.\nTerraForm Power said in August that it was considering plans to set up an auction to sell itself, according to people familiar with the matter. SunEdison, which has been selling off assets in Chapter 11, said earlier this month that it had reached an agreement with the two non-bankrupt yieldcos over when and how they would bring claims as part of the bankruptcy.\nThe process may not lead to a deal, according to Swami Venkataraman, an analyst at Moody\u2019s Investors Service.\nIf the bids \u201chighly undervalue\u201d TerraForm Power and its assets, \u201cthey may choose to operate as an independent company for some time,\u201d Venkataraman said in an e-mail Monday.\nThe case is SunEdison Inc., 16-10992, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan)\nSunEdison\u2019s financial engineering resulted in the company\u2019s bankruptcy with the yieldcos into which it poured all of its productive assets are now the subject of investor interest. For companies seeking to pick up clean energy assets at a discount in order to benefit from the cash flows they throw off and/or to bolster their green credentials Terraform Power and Terraform Global represent potentially attractive targets.\nD.E. Shaw Considering Major Stake in TerraForm\nThis article by Nathan Reiff appeared in Investopedia and may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\nD.E. Shaw is one of the most recent companies to express an interest in buying SunEdison's shares of TerraForm. Shaw already owns about 6.7% of TERP shares following a negotiation made to forgive SunEdison debt. While this is a significant stake already, it is nowhere near SunEdison's huge percentage of ownership of the company. By purchasing up additional \"Class B\" shares in TerraForm, D.E. Shaw would attempt to capitalize on SunEdison's bankruptcy declaration by acquiring one of its most valuable holdings.\nGolden Concord has also recently made it known that it is interested in purchasing now-defunct SunEdison's shares of TERP stock. The company, which is China's largest new energy company that is not government-owned, no doubt also sees a prime investment opportunity. For both D.E. Shaw and Golden Concord, however, added interest in SunEdison's stake in TERP means that the competition for those shares is rising, and the price is likely to go up as well. Throughout Monday, August 29, shares of TERP were trading at higher levels as a result of the increased interest.\nTo coin a pun \u201cSolar has been under a cloud of late\u201d. Last year\u2019s decision by Nevada to side with established utilities and force Solar power providers to help pay for the grid, which they had being using for free, foreshadowed wider questioning of the subsidies on which the installation sector has relied upon. The bankruptcy of SunEdison and Tesla bailing out/absorbing SolarCity are both symptomatic of the challenges facing the sector.\nTerraForm Global Rises amid Talks with SunEdison to Sell Stake\nTerraForm Global and SunEdison are in talks regarding \u201ca jointly managed sales process and accompanying protocol for managing the marketing process,\u201d according to a presentation posted on TerraForm Global\u2019s website Tuesday. SunEdison is currently involved in the biggest ever sale of clean energy assets after filing for bankruptcy protection in April with $16.1 billion in liabilities. It has not announced a process for selling its controlling stake in TerraForm Global or its sister yieldco TerraForm Power Inc.\nTerraForm Global, a yield company formed by SunEdison to buy clean power plants built by SunEdison outside of the U.S., owns 917 megawatts of Solar and wind energy plants, mostly in southeast Asia and South America. The company had revenue of as much as $52 million in the first quarter, according to the presentation.\nIt also reported preliminary losses of as much as $350 million for the second half of last year, and a preliminary loss of as much as $8 million for the first quarter of this year.\nTerraForm Global has not filed results since the third quarter because it relies on SunEdison for some accounting systems, and the parent company\u2019s results are also delinquent.\nFinancial engineering contributed to SunEdison\u2019s demise because it divested itself of income producing assets while holding onto liabilities. That worked fine while oil prices were high, demand for Solar plants was surging and credit was easy to come by. The decline in oil, natural gas and particularly coal prices questioned the profitability of Solar plants and the share collapsed.\nFirst Solar Quits TetraSun in Shift to All Thin-Film Panels\nWhen First Solar acquired TetraSun, it was producing cadmium-telluride panels with maximum efficiency rates of 13.3 percent, the amount of energy in sunlight that\u2019s converted to electricity. TetraSun had 21 percent efficiency at the time and the potential for improvement.\nThe company\u2019s latest cadmium-telluride cell reached a record 22.1 percent efficiency in a laboratory. That\u2019s higher than the best multicrystalline polysilicon cell at 21.3 percent, according to data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.\nSunPower Corp., which uses a purer form of silicon, has the most efficient panels, with 24.1 percent.\n\u201cFirst Solar has achieved surprisingly good results for its thin-film technology,\u201d Jenny Chase, an analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance, said in an e-mail. \u201cFirst Solar may have felt there was little point in competing in an area where they have no unique advantage over other silicon manufacturers.\u201d\nThe above story highlights how Solar panel companies can become the victims of their own success. By purchasing Tetrasun, First Solar was hedging its development of a new product but it is arguable whether that would have worked since there are other cost effective manufacturers of those panels, not least in China. In such a highly competitive market, where the risk of new technologies evolving outside a company\u2019s internal ecosystem is nontrivial, companies might be better off having conviction in their own products than competing on legacy technology.\nSolar Power to Grow Sixfold as Sun Becoming Cheapest Resource\nThe amount of electricity generated using Solar panels stands to expand as much as sixfold by 2030 as the cost of production falls below competing natural gas and coal-fired plants, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency.\nSolar plants using photovoltaic technology could account for 8 percent to 13 percent of global electricity produced in 2030, compared with 1.2 percent at the end of last year, the Abu Dhabi-based industry group said in a report Wednesday. The average cost of electricity from a photovoltaic system is forecast to plunge as much as 59 percent by 2025, making Solar the cheapest form of power generation \u201cin an increasing number of cases,\u201d it said.\nRenewables are replacing nuclear energy and curbing electricity production from gas and coal in developed areas such as Europe and the U.S., according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. California\u2019s PG&E Corp. is proposing to close two nuclear reactors as wind and Solar costs decline. Even as supply gluts depress coal and gas prices, Solar and wind technologies will be the cheapest ways to produce electricity in most parts of the world in the 2030s, New Energy Finance said in a report this month.\n\u201cThe renewable energy transition is well underway, with Solar playing a key role,\u201d Irena Director General Adnan Amin said in a statement. \u201cCost reductions, in combination with other enabling factors, can create a dramatic expansion of Solar power globally.\u201d\nMy guess is that even these optimistic forecasts will be significantly exceeded by 2030, as the Solar power industry becomes progressively more efficient. Moreover, the accelerated rate of technological innovation will lead to new forms of Solar power which are all but unimaginable today.\nEnergy in 2015: A year of plenty\nThanks to a subscriber for this edition of BP\u2019s annual report by Spencer Dale which may be of interest. Here is a section:\nThe increasing importance of renewable energy continued to be led by wind power (17.4%, 125 TWh). But Solar power is catching up fast, expanding by almost a third in 2015 (32.6%, 62 TWh), with China overtaking Germany and the US as the largest generator of Solar power.\nThe older stalwarts of non-fossil fuels \u2013 hydro and nuclear energy \u2013 grew more modestly. Global hydro power increased by just 1.0% (38 TWh), held back by drought conditions in parts of the Americas and Central Europe. Nuclear energy increased by 1.3% (34 TWh), as rapid expansion in China offset secular declines within mainland Europe. This gradual shift of nuclear energy away from the traditional centres of North America and Europe towards Asia, particularly China, looks set to continue over the next 10-20 years.\nThe key lesson from history is that it takes considerable time for new types of energy to penetrate the global market. Starting the clock at the point at which new fuels reached 1% share of primary energy, it took more than 40 years for oil to expand to 10% of primary energy; and even after 50 years, natural gas had reached a share of only 8%.\nSome of that slow rate of penetration reflects the time it takes for resources and funding to be devoted in scale to new energy sources. But equally important, the highly capital intensive nature of the energy eco-system, with many long-lived assets, provides a natural brake on the pace at which new energies can gain ground.\nThe growth rates achieved by renewable energy over the past 8 or 9 years have been broadly comparable to those recorded by other energies at the same early stage of development. Indeed, thus far, renewable energy has followed a similar path to nuclear energy.\nThe penetration of nuclear energy plateaued relatively quickly, however, as the pace of learning slowed and unit costs stopped falling. In contrast, in BP\u2019s Energy Outlook, we assume that the costs of both wind and Solar power will continue to fall as they move down their learning curve, underpinning continued robust growth in renewable energy.\nIndeed, the path of renewable energy in the base case of the Energy Outlook implies a quicker pace of penetration than any other fuel source in modern history. But even in that case, renewable power within primary energy barely reaches 8% in 20 years\u2019 time.\nThe simple message from history is that it takes a long time \u2013 numbering several decades \u2013 for new energies to gain a substantial foothold within global energy.\nThe evolution of renewable energy technology represents a major paradigm shift for the energy sector not least because the cost of production continues to decrease independently of the oil price and environmental concerns result in a compelling case for adoption. In tandem with wind and Solar, the rollout of electric vehicles is a related but separate development which is likely to represent a continued headwind for demand growth.\nSan Francisco Passes Law Requiring New Buildings to be Topped With Solar Panels\nMy thanks to a subscriber for this article from Gizmag. Here is a section:\nSan Francisco has passed a law requiring all new buildings below 10 stories to have Solar panels installed on their rooftops. It becomes the first major US city to mandate Solar panel installations on new constructions and forms part of a wider vision to generate 100 percent of its electricity via renewable energy.\nThe Better Roofs Ordinance was passed unanimously by the city's Board of Supervisors, and will apply to new constructions both commercial and residential from January next year, according to the San Francisco Examiner.\n\"Activating underutilized roof space is a smart and efficient way to promote the use of Solar energy and improve our environment,\" says Supervisor Scott Wiener, who introduced the legislation in February. \"We need to continue to pursue aggressive renewable energy policies to ensure a sustainable future for our city and our region.\"\nOther governments around the world have adopted similar policies, including the states of Maharashtra and Haryana in India. Dubai also plans to make rooftop Solar panels mandatory for all buildings starting in 2030, as part of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050. More locally, the smaller Californian cities of Lancaster and Sebastopol introduced compulsory rooftop Solar panels in 2013.\nHardly a month goes by without reports of new developments within the Solar industry which increase the variety, flexibility and overall efficiency of these installations. Our ability to capture and generate power from the sun\u2019s rays is limited only by our imagination.\n(See also: 3D Solar towers offer up to 20 times more power output than traditional flat Solar panels, and Solar Panels made three times cheaper and four times more efficient.)\nTerraForm Power Believes It Has Sufficient Liquidity to Operate\nThis note by Will Daley for Bloomberg may be of interest to subscribers.\nEven if some SUNE obligations are not fulfilled, TERP expects to continue operating\nDefaults may now exist under many of TERP\u2019s non-recourse project-debt financing pacts (or such defaults may arise in the future) due to SUNE bankruptcy filing, delays in preparation of audited financial statements\nDefaults \u201care generally curable\"; TERP will work with its project lenders to obtain waivers and/or forbearance agreements\nNo assurances can be given that waivers, forbearance agreements will be obtained\nSunEdison rallied impressively from its 2012 lows following the adoption of a quickstep leveraged strategy aimed at acquiring or building Solar energy power plants while simultaneously divesting of the completed assets into two MLPs. This saddled the parent with the risk of acquisition and building without holding onto the residual cash flows from a working utility once completed. The strategy was predicated on the rapid pace of Solar installations persisting indefinitely. They do not appear to have factored in the role a drop in oil prices would have on that business model.\nOil Companies Turn to Solar\nHere is a latter section of this interesting and informative article by Nick Hodge of Outsider Club:\nBut perhaps the most convincing evidence that Solar is here and it's competitive is that oil companies are now using it to make oil extraction cheaper and cleaner.\nLate last year news began coming out that the oil industry was turning to Solar to help it pump crude.\nRoyal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS), Total (NYSE: TOT), the Kuwait State Oil Company, and Oman's sovereign wealth fund have teamed up to create a Solar company called GlassPoint.\nIt is building a massive Solar installation in the Oman desert to create steam to help pump oil. That one project will save more carbon than all electric cars sold so far by Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) and Toyota (NYSE: TM) combined.\nWhat's more, using Solar to help power an oilfield makes total economic sense. Up to 60% of the operating expenses at heavy oil fields are for fuel purchases.\nSo at a time when oil companies are cutting costs \u2014 curtailing exploration and laying off tens of thousands of workers \u2014 they are still interested in spending for projects that can reduce costs.\nAnd that means Solar.\nPetroleum Development Oman, which is partly backing GlassPoint, accounts for 70% of the nation's oil production and 100% of its gas supply.\nIt is highly indicative that it is turning to Solar to complement its fossil fuel operations.\nThis is only going to continue through 2030, as Solar continues its march toward becoming the world's dominant source of electricity.\nAs that happens, the companies that improve Solar technology and reduce its costs are going to be the biggest winners for investors.\nFuller Treacy Money has long maintained that Solar power would dominate not only renewable energy but also prove to be more successful than any fossil fuel, due to its unique advantages.\n2016 will be 47th year of The Chart Seminar and it is still the longest running course on a behavioural approach to interpreting the market in the world. We will soon be announcing dates for when you can expect to attend both at a physical location and via webinar this year.\nI was thinking about this earlier in the week and was ruminating on how we focused on p&f charts when we relied on chartbooks but on candlestick charts now that we have the online Chart Library. Both have their merits and candlesticks are certainly more expedient because you do not have to customise box sizes. However there is nothing quite like monitoring a persistent decline, or rally, on a p&f chart because the reversal when it comes is very clear.\nHon Hai proposes deal to buy Sharp\nThis article from Taipei Times may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section\nAccording to the report, while Hon Hai \u2014 known as Foxconn Technology Group (???) outside Taiwan \u2014 has proposed acquiring Sharp at a high premium, it also wants Sharp\u2019s current management team, including president and chief executive officer Kozo Takahashi, to step down.\nHon Hai would send a team to Sharp to manage the firm, the report said.\nHon Hai also plans to take over the debt shouldered by Sharp to help the firm address its financial problems, the report said.\nHowever, the report also said that Hon Hai has yet to talk with Sharp\u2019s bank creditors.\nThe report said that Sharp was shouldering about ?760 billion in debt as of the end of September.\nHon Hai is not the only potential suitor seeking to buy Sharp, the report said, adding that the Innovation Network Corp of Japan (INCJ), which is sponsored by the Japanese government, is studying a buyout of Sharp.\nThe report said that the INCJ still needs some time to map out a concrete acquisition deal, and the proposal is unlikely to come out until next year, so Hon Hai is taking advantage of the vacuum created to make a deal.\nHon Hai Precision is best known for assembling Apple\u2019s iPhone as well as being one of the world\u2019s largest employers. As a fabless manufacturer it generally does not promote its own brands so the potential acquisition of a manufacturer with global brand recognition such as Sharp is an interesting development.\nSolarWindow Technologies call\nI placed a call to the investor relations department of SolarWindow last week following the surge in its share price despite the fact it\u2019s product is not commercially available. They offered two key pieces of information I believe subscribers might be interested in.\nThe Silicon Valley Idea That Is Driving Solar Use Worldwide\nHere is the opening of this informative article, posted without further comment:\nSilicon Valley has something to offer the world in the drive toward a clean energy economy. And it\u2019s not technology.\nIt\u2019s a financing formula. In a region that spawned tech giants Apple Inc. and Google and is famous for innovators and entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, a handful of startups began offering to install Solar panels on the homes of middle-class families in return for no-money down and monthly payments cheaper than a utility bill. This third-party leasing method -- which made expensive clean energy gear affordable -- ignited a rooftop Solar revolution with annual U.S. home installations increasing 16-fold since 2008, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research.\nThe world is taking notice. Businesses in China, the biggest greenhouse-gas polluter, are so keen on replicating California\u2019s success that Trina Solar Ltd.\u2019s Head of Global Marketing Jing Tian said she had to come up with a rough Chinese translation for \u201cthird-party leasing.\u201d Similar models are spreading to countries like Mexico and Japan and are being employed to sell other emerging clean energy technologies such as batteries and onsite waste-water treatment gear.\nThe Silicon Valley Idea That's Driving Solar Use Worldwide\nThis article by Mark Chediak and Chris Martin for Bloomberg may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\nSolarCity took the leasing model that SunEdison Inc. first developed for the Solar industry by a graduate student named Jigar Shah. He founded the company and sold its first power purchase agreement with Whole Foods Market Inc. in 2003, according to his book, Creating Climate Wealth.\nSolarCity adapted that model for residential consumers in 2008 and many more offered similar arrangements including Sunrun Inc., which developed the first one in September 2007, and Vivint Solar Inc. In August, SolarCity bought a developer in Mexico that was offering the first leases to businesses in that country and plans to expand it to homes there.\nAnd now the idea is spreading to other industries trying to sell expensive capital equipment that reduce pollution and fossil fuel consumption. Cambrian Innovation, a startup out of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has developed onsite wastewater treatment plants. While the high cost make them difficult to sell, when they combine all the benefits to a consumer like a brewery -- lower disposal fees, water use, energy use and carbon emissions -- they can finance leases and offer savings at no cost to the consumer.\n\u201cSunEdison developed the Solar power-as-a-service that helped the industry take off,\u201d Matthew Silver, chief executive officer of Boston-based Cambrian, said in an interview. \u201cNow we\u2019re offering clean water as a service that municipal utilities can or won\u2019t do.\u201d\nWith the COP21 conference beginning in Paris today, there are a large number of articles circulating on the advances already seen in the development of renewable sources of energy. Lease back agreements that have increased access to these solutions is certainly important, but I am curious how these will be structured when interest rates rise and the cost of funding such largesse rises.\nRenewable intermittency means industrial scale storage solutions need to get substantially cheaper and battery technology needs to improve. Progress has been made on both fronts but we are still a long way from replacing fossil fuels.\nOn the Solar industry:\nHi David, There has been some notable movement to the downside in the Solar industry in the last 2 weeks, particularly US based companies. Some of the movement screams capitulation. This is a sector you both regularly comment on, and David Brown, also supports investment in the sector. Do you see this as a buy opportunity?\nThe main reason that Eoin and I comment on Solar power, or David Brown to my knowledge, is because we are convinced that it will be the most successful of the renewable technologies. However, I suspect that companies in the Solar industry will remain highly speculative for many years to come. The reason - it is all but impossible to know which will be the most successful and enduring companies in this comparatively new and rapidly evolving technology. Moreover, there will be many candidates but most will ultimately fail.\nThe same can be said for companies which pioneer any other new technologies, and this has always been the case. The best example concerns the US automobile sector. Here is Wikipedia\u2019s List of defunct automobile manufacturers of the United States. There are hundreds of them, most of which I had never heard of. Only a handful survived, including Ford, GM and Chrysler.\nExxon Predicted the Present Cheap Solar Boom Back in the 1980s\nHere is the opening and also a latter section of this interesting article from Bloomberg:\nFor more than a generation, Solar power was a environmentalist fantasy, an expensive and impractical artifact from the Jimmy Carter era. That was true right up until the moment it wasn't. Solar silicon prices dropped 94 percent from early 2008 to the end of 2011. Crystalline silicon has since fallen an additional 47 percent, to $15.20 a kilogram.\nMany were caught off guard by the emergence of Solar as a competitive power source. The scientist who led Exxon's research arm back in the 1980s wasn't one of them.\nPeter Eisenberger, now an environmental science professor at Columbia's Earth Institute, co-authored an internal report for Exxon projecting that Solar wouldn't become viable until 2012 or 2013. The report, written before he left the company in 1989, suggested that Exxon would do best to sell its Solar assets; not surprisingly, the company did just that. What is surprising is that Exxon's 25-year-old Solar projections nailed the timing for the arrival of affordable Solar power.\nEisenberger left for academia and in 2010 co-founded a alternative-energy company, Global Thermostat, at which he now serves as chief technology officer. The company works to reduce the cost of capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide and rendering it useful for synthetic fuels and materials. \"Almost all the people that are involved in founding this company\u2014and in helping me get going\u2014were from Exxon,\" Eisenberger said. \"Every one of them. They're the only people who didn't think I was nuts.\"\nExxon and the other large international oil companies are also working on the commercial capturing of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and understandably so. Unless it can be effectively and cheaply removed and used profitably for something else, oil and other fossil fuels will increasingly be regarded as pariahs.\nEmail of the day on oil and oil shares\nHope isn\u2019t a strategy \u2013 but what can you tell me about this chart? It\u2019s the Canadian energy index. What signs should I be looking for?\nThis has been a very active week in just about all markets but the only emails from subscribers I received in the last two days were focused on the energy market. I chose to publish this one because it\u2019s from a normally very calm person but the stress he is feeling is evident in the wording.\nMake way for the Sun\nIndia has made an exceptional commitment to Solar energy by raising its 2022 target five-fold to 100GW and its Renewable Energy target to 175GW. The government has announced an unprecedented policy push and states are providing the necessary infrastructure. Annual investments in Solar could surpass investment in coal by 2019-20, with USD 35bn committed by global players. For local IPPs, Solar has to be an inherent part of their expansion strategy, as RE obligations become strictly enforceable and cost of coal power increases. NTPC, Adani and RPWR are ahead in this development cycle which adds 10-15% to our current valuations. NTPC is our top pick.\nWe raise our Solar power forecast by 240%\nGlobal majors have committed USD 35bn+ to the Indian Solar sector. By 2020, annual Solar power capacity additions and investments could surpass those in coal power projects. We are raising our Solar power forecasts by 240% to 34GW by 2020. This is on the back of strong commissioning (4.5GW), even stronger pipeline - under construction (~5.1GW), and new projects (~15GW). By then, renewables could account for a significant 20% of power capacities in India, per our forecast. Private sector interest is decisively moving towards Solar from coal power, and we foresee numerous opportunities of fund-raising, yield co-structuring and M&A activity.\nRE can reach 20% of capacity but we see challenges to higher penetration\n(1) Transmission constraints and integration of diurnal power into the grid are risks, without peak-load management capability. Solar absorption in Rajasthan could see challenges like wind in Tamil Nadu, given policy target of 25GW Solar vs. peak-demand of 11GW. (2) A further risk is the enforcement of RE purchase obligations (RPOs) given weak finances of state distribution cos, and hence large-scale absorption of Solar could be a concern (INR 170bn additional burden by 2020E). (3) Other issues include financing, land acquisition, limited domestic manufacturing, and returns/reliability of baseline data.\nImpact on the thermal power producers\nSolar could have a significant impact on day power rates, given that generation peaks between 9am and 6pm. In turn, this could reduce the coal requirement by ~8% or 70mnt by 2020E, largely impacting the highest cost of power, i.e., imported coal \u2013 leading to large savings (~USD 17bn/pa).\nIndia has highly favourably demographics but if that dividend is to be realised the country needs to embark on a long-term policy of industrialisation. Narendra Modi\u2019s government understands what has to be done and is gradually making the changes needed to unlock India\u2019s considerable development potential.\nOn its path to industrialisation China built huge numbers of coal fired power stations which facilitated growth but poisoned the air. It is now faced with an environment challenge that is proving expensive to correct. India has the potential to partially circumvent at least these challenges by taking advantage of improvements in technology that were not available to China when it began to industrialise.\nIndia Courts Solar Investors With Dollar Contracts\nMy thanks to a subscriber for this informative article from ft.com. Here is a brief sample:\nSolar developers say the introduction of such contracts, which would protect investors from the expected depreciation of the rupee over the next 25 years, would overcome one of the last remaining obstacles to new investments and cement India\u2019s position as the next big destination for renewable energy groups.\n\u201cThe scale-up will happen extremely rapidly,\u201d says Tejpreet Chopra, chief executive of Bharat Light & Power, which plans to quintuple its wind and Solar output in India to 1,000 megawatts (1GW) in the next few years. \u201cThe good news is that at least the government is showing intent. In order to do this scale of projects, we\u2019re going to need foreign capital.\u201d\nPiyush Goyal, the minister responsible for power and renewable energy, launched bold plans a year ago to provide electricity 24 hours a day for all Indians by 2019, partly from ever cheaper green power: the plan for the Solar sector is to spend $100bn to raise capacity from just under 4GW today to 100GW by 2022. An estimated 400m Indians lack basic access to electricity. Coal remains India\u2019s most important energy source, supplying more than half of all power stations.\nAccording to a graph in the article above, only China, Japan, the USA, and UK will be adding more Solar capacity in 2015. Moreover, with Narendra Modi leading India, this rapid development will continue for many more years.\nTo grow rapidly, India needs vastly more energy. This is certainly possible and, preferably, India will be able to phase out most of its reliance on coal within the next 20 years. In today\u2019s world, good leadership can modernise a third-world economy in a little over a generation.\nPlatinum sector faces Kodak moment in fuel cell technology\nThis article by Clara Denina & Silvia Antonioli for Mineweb may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\nThe world\u2019s three largest platinum producers Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), Impala Platinum and Lonmin are all investing in projects related to fuel cell technologies, which generate electricity that can power vehicles by combining hydrogen and oxygen over a platinum catalyst.\nBut analysts doubt fuel cell vehicles will rival the growth of their electric counterparts, mostly because battery recharging stations are less costly and already more widespread than hydrogen refuelling stations.\n\u201cAs out of the two new technologies only fuel cells use platinum, I guess the miners think they have no choice,\u201d Macquarie analyst Matthew Turner said. \u201cBut people are buying electric cars\u2026and that\u2019s not the case for fuel cells.\u201d\nAmplats, which has invested about $35 million in the last five years in companies developing new uses for platinum, mostly through fuel cell technology, is mindful of the stakes.\n\u201cI don\u2019t want Anglo American Platinum, or any of our partners or customers to be a Kodak,\u201d Amplats Chief Executive Chris Griffith said last week, referring to the once mighty photography pioneer that was slow to transition to digital photography.\nPlatinum miners are not the only companies making big bets on hydrogen fuel cells. Toyota\u2019s decision to release its Mirai fuel cell vehicle later this year and to open its patents to developers highlights their efforts to pioneer new technologies. After all it was Toyota\u2019s Prius that was the first mass market hybrid vehicle.\nNevertheless, electric cars are gaining increasing traction as Solar cell efficiency increases. There is also the potential for wind turbines to be smaller and less noisy. With the advent of home batteries the outlook for electric vehicles is looking even more promising.\nSolar and Silver\nDavid posted an article from the Telegraph on Monday highlighting the role silver plays as a conductor in Solar cells. Considering the fact that silver suffered from a loss of demand with the demise of photographic film, the potential for growth in another industrial sector is a potentially important bullish catalyst. In order to gain some additional perspective on just how much of a growth sector this might represent for sliver there are two key considerations. The first is demand growth projections which are bullish and second the capacity for technological innovation which is potentially bearish.\nSilver No Longer Poor Man Gold as Solar Demand Surges\nHere is the opening of this informative article from The Telegraph:\nSilver has been mined for thousands of years. But for most of the 20th century it was the poor man\u2019s precious metal, its value eclipsed by the enduring lure of gold.\nThe first big revolution in silver came in 1492 with the discovery of the New World, which opened up mining of the metal on a scale not previously seen. In the centuries that followed Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s and the conquistadors\u2019 destruction of the Aztecs, Peru, Bolivia and Mexico accounted for three-quarters of all world production and trade in the metal.\nToday, more than 877m ounces of silver are mined annually and the metal is increasingly being employed in new industrial processes. A major catalyst for demand over the next decade will be in the production of Solar energy.\nSilver is a key component in crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells. According to IHS, demand for Solar power is set to increase by 30pc to 57 gigawatts of electricity in 2015. China alone is expected to install something in the region of 17 gigawatts of Solar capacity by the end of the year, creating huge potential demand for silver.\nThis is the first bullish news that I have heard about silver since it peaked near $50 just over four years ago.\nEmail of the day on solar cell manufacturers\nThis was a useful update on the Solar industry and Canadian Solar in particular. CSIQ's chart pattern seems to show 1 year range between $20 and $40. Maybe time for a breakout?\nThank you for this topical article. . Here is a section:\nAlong with government incentives to combat global warming, a more natural economic process in the marketplace is driving quick growth in demand for Solar power. Cheaper panels and cheaper batteries mean that not too long from now consumers will simply put Solar panels on their roofs because that is cheaper than buying electricity off the grid.\nThe U.S.-based Rocky Mountain Institute warned earlier this month that utilities in the U.S. Northeast stand to lose as much as half of residential sales by 2030 as customers install Solar and battery-storage systems and generate their own power.\nTo keep up with this increase in demand, Canadian Solar plans to almost double its own panel capacity from 2013 levels, Qu said. Along with supply from original equipment manufacturing, total capacity will reach more than 4 gigawatts, he said.\nAudi just created diesel fuel from air and water\nThis article by Eric Mack for Gizmag highlights the benefits improving Solar cell efficiency could potentially have for the wider economy. Here is a section:\nSunfire claims that analysis shows the properties of the synthetic diesel are superior to fossil fuel, and that its lack of sulphur and fossil-based oil makes it more environmentally friendly. The overall energy efficiency of the fuel creation process using renewable power is around 70 percent, according to Audi.\n\"The engine runs quieter and fewer pollutants are being created,\" says Sunfire CTO Christian von Olshausen.\nThe fuel can be combined with conventional diesel fuel, as is often done with biodiesel fuels already.\nThe Dresden pilot plant is set to produce about 42 gallons (160 l) of synthetic diesel per day in the coming months, and the two companies say the next step is to build a bigger plant.\n\"If we get the first sales order, we will be ready to commercialize our technology,\" von Olshausen says.\nSunfire anticipates that the market price for the synthetic diesel could be between 1 and 1.5 Euros per liter, which would be nearly competitive or a little more expensive than current diesel prices in Europe, but the actual figure will be largely dependent on the price of electricity.\nOne of the issues hydrogen fuel cell and similar technologies face is that they are dependent on the availability of cheap electricity to drive the process of separation or combination. The commercial utility of a water-to-diesel project as outlined above will be contingent on the cost of electricity coming down. As such the improving efficiency of Solar cells and improvements in battery technology represent a major step forward for such technologies as the cost of electricity would be free from volatility and could conceivably trend lower in real terms over time.\nTesla Wants to Power Wal-Mart\nJackson Family Wines, based in Santa Rosa, has a new partnership with Tesla involving battery storage and several vehicle charging stations, according to the February issue of Wine Business Monthly. The winery declined to comment.\nMack Wycoff, Wal-Mart\u2019s senior manager for renewable energy and emissions, said the company is intrigued by energy storage. \u201cInstead of pulling electricity from the grid, you discharge it from the battery,\u201d he said. \u201cIdeally you know when your period of peak demand is, and you discharge it then.\u201d\nMike Martin, Cargill\u2019s director of communications, declined to provide details about how the company plans to use Tesla batteries at the Fresno plant. The 200,000-square-foot facility, one of the largest of its type in California, produces nearly 400 million pounds of beef each year.\nJanet Dixon is director of facilities at the Temecula Valley Unified School District in southern California, which plans to install Solar panels at 20 of its 28 schools this summer. Dixon said that SolarCity is the Solar provider, and five of the facilities will have Tesla batteries.\n\u201cWe spend roughly $3 million a year on electricity, and most of that is lighting and air conditioning,\u201d said Dixon. \u201cWe are going Solar to reduce our overall costs and the battery storage should help us manage our peak demand.\u201d\nTesla trades on aggressive multiples. Since its car sales are a fraction of even the smallest auto manufacturer, it will be quite some time before the company will compete on that front even if one assumes that large numbers of people will be driving electric vehicles 10 years from now. Batteries are a much bigger story for Tesla which is why they are investing so much capital in building a \u201cgigafactory\u201d which they anticipate will deliver the economies of scale necessary to drive down the cost of their products.\nAt the present moment almost no one has a battery in their home. As Solar technology improves and the prospect of containing volatility on energy spending becomes a realistic possibility demand is likely to increase. At the present moment the Solar cells companies like SolarCity are installing in homes are not particularly efficient. However, as the efficiency rates of laboratory tested products reach commercialisation the energy generation capacity of one\u2019s home will rapidly improve. Therefore the efficiency of Solar and the potential demand landscape for home batteries are linked.\nMy thanks to a Subscriber for this interesting video.\nThe sun provides infinitely more energy than anything else that mankind could possibly access. Moreover, there may be no limit to the variety of Solar panels that can be created. Solar is on the way to becoming our dominant source of energy, probably within 25 years.\nRadical new high-speed liquid technology could bring 3D printing into mainstream manufacturing\nThanks to a subscriber for this article from Kurzweil which may be of interest. Here is a section:\nThe technology, called Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP), manipulates light and oxygen to fuse objects in liquid media. It works by projecting beams of light through an oxygen-permeable window into a liquid resin to rapidly transform 3D models into physical objects.\nWorking in tandem, UV light, which triggers photo polymerization, interacts with oxygen, which inhibits the reaction, to control the solidification of the resin, creating commercially viable objects that can have feature sizes below 20 microns, or less than one-quarter of the width of a piece of paper. This is the first 3D-printing process that uses tunable photochemistry instead of the layer-by-layer approach that has defined the technology for decades.\nFaster, stronger, predictable\nCLIP enables a very wide range of materials to be used to make 3D parts with novel properties, including elastomers, silicones, nylon-like materials, ceramics and biodegradable materials, and could allow for synthesizing novel materials that can advance research in materials science.\nConventionally made 3D printed parts are notorious for having mechanical properties that vary depending on the direction the parts were printed because of the layer-by-layer approach. Much more like injection-molded parts, CLIP produces consistent and predictable mechanical properties, smooth on the outside and solid on the inside, the company says.\n\u201cBy rethinking the whole approach to 3D printing, and the chemistry and physics behind the process, we have developed a new technology that can create parts radically faster than traditional technologies by essentially \u2018growing\u2019 them in a pool of liquid,\u201d said Joseph M. DeSimone, professor of chemistry at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and of chemical engineering at North Carolina State and CEO of Carbon3D, who co-invented the method.\nIt\u2019s not difficult to get excited when you look at the pace of technological innovation. The above invention has been featured on CNBC with someone attempting to print an AR-15 which shows the negative connotations of the development. Setting that example aside, this represents an important step towards having a practical tool in one\u2019s home but there are more important considerations from an investment perspective.\nThanks to a subscriber for this report from Deutsche Bank focusing on Solar. Here is a section:\nDespite the recent drop in oil price, we expect Solar electricity to become competitive with retail electricity in an increasing number of markets globally due to declining Solar panel costs as well as improving financing and customer acquisition costs. Unsubsidized rooftop Solar electricity costs between $0.08-$0.13/kWh, 30-40% below retail price of electricity in many markets globally. In markets heavily dependent on coal for electricity generation, the ratio of coal based wholesale electricity to Solar electricity cost was 7:1 four years ago. This ratio is now less than 2:1 and could likely approach 1:1 over the next 12-18 months.\nElectricity Prices are Increasing, Despite Nat Gas Price Swings\nPeak to trough, average monthly natural gas prices have decreased ~86% over the past 10 years. Yet, during this time period, average electricity prices have increased by ~20% in the US. The main driver for rising electricity bill is that T&D investments which represent 50% of bill have continued to ramp and have accelerated recently. In 2010, T&D capex levels of for US Utilities ~$27B were ~300% higher than 1981 levels. We expect electricity prices worldwide to double over the next 10-15 years making the case for Solar grid parity even stronger.\nSolar System Costs Could Continue to Decline\nThe economics of Solar have improved significantly due to the reduction in Solar panel costs, financing costs and balance of system costs. Overall Solar system costs have declined at ~15% CAGR over the past 8 years and we expect another 40% cost reduction over the next 4-5 years. Yieldcos have been a big driver in reducing the cost of capital and we expect emergence of international yieldcos to act as a significant catalyst in lowering the cost of Solar power in emerging markets such as India.\nThis is a fascinating report not least for its international scope and estimates of where Solar has already reached grid parity. China is where Solar has the greatest potential to impact power production for two important reasons. The first is that the world\u2019s largest Solar cell manufacturers are Chinese. The second is that China has some of the worst pollution in the world.\nA documentary film released online over the weekend by Chai Jing, discussing the causes of China\u2019s poor air quality, has gone viral with more than 120 million hits to date. If domestic Chinese people are as outraged at the total absence of environmental law enforcement as Mrs Treacy there is going to be a major discussion about the environment.\nTesla gearing up for release of batteries for the home\nThis article by John Anderson for Gizmag may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\nAs the company\u2019s first foray into selling directly to the home energy storage market, the batteries are expected to get plenty of attention just by virtue of the attached Tesla label. And it should be an improvement from the home batteries Tesla has been quietly supplying to its sister company, the Solar panel maker SolarCity, located up the road from Tesla in San Mateo, California. Those batteries are currently available in select markets within California, and only through SolarCity. The new batteries would be more widely available.\nTesla would face plenty of competition for their batteries, with names like Bosch, GE and Samsung involved. Honda has unveiled a demonstration smart home that features a rechargeable home battery, along with an electric vehicle, Solar panels and geothermal heat pump, and is driven by an energy management system.\nResearchers from both Harvard and MIT have developed flow batteries for renewable energy storage, while Bloom Energy\u2019s fuel cell boxes act as a power source as well as an energy storage device.\nOne area where Tesla might stand out is in cost. Tesla assembles its battery packs from battery cells provided by Panasonic, and is about to do it on a massive scale as soon as 2016 at its gigafactory currently under construction in Nevada. Such an economy of scale \u2013 producing 50 gigawatt-hours of battery capacity each year \u2013 is expected to push the company\u2019s car battery costs down by 30 percent. Based on the same technology, Tesla's home battery costs should come down as well.\nThe same efficiency gains observed in how Moore\u2019s Law is applied to semiconductors can also be seen in Solar technology. This has changed how companies perceive the growth of the domestic energy production sector. This requires a much more flexible electric grid and a utility sector that will have to evolve if it is to avoid obsolescence. As the potential to cut one\u2019s personal expenses through the application of technology develop, homebuilders will be happy to see that the benefits of owning a new home equipped with the wide range of modern gadgetry is becoming increasingly convincing.\nShale Giant Says U.S. Output Will Fall This Year on Big Cuts\nThis article by Bradley Olson for Bloomberg may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\nU.S. oil production is set to fall this year as drastic drilling cutbacks take hold faster than world governments expected, according to the biggest, fastest-growing shale company.\nEOG Resources Inc.\u2019s forecast contradicts most estimates that see U.S. production rising, including those by the U.S. Energy Information Administration and the International Energy Agency. The company said the crude market would rebound quickly and labeled the current downturn a \u201cshort cycle.\u201d\nThe Texas producer said its own production would bottom in the second and third quarter, resulting in output remaining unchanged for the year compared to last year\u2019s breakneck pace of growth. The deciding factor in what has been viewed as a price war with Saudi Arabia and its OPEC allies is how many of the thousands of U.S. producers will follow suit.\n\u201cEOG is viewed as the premier company in shale development, and if they\u2019re not going to grow, it is a very important signal to the market,\u201d said Michael Scialla, a Denver-based analyst at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. \u201cThe argument that this slowdown is going to take a while to have an impact on supply is completely wrong.\u201d\nNoble Energy Inc., Devon Energy Corp. and Marathon Oil Corp., three other companies with significant shale operations, said they will boost output this year. More than half of Devon\u2019s 2015 oil production is hedged at a price of $90.75 a barrel. Apache Corp. plans to pump about the same volume of oil as last year.\nThe mechanics of unconventional oil and gas wells means that supply growth is not possible without constant drilling of new wells to make up for the early peak in production from older ones. It is for this reason that the Baker Hughes Rig Count has become such a focus of attention as prices fell. In a low oil price environment, at least relative to that seen early last year, unhedged producers have little choice but to cut back on expansion plans. Those that have hedged have secure cash flow, provided their counterparties are solvent, so they will be under less pressure to cut.\nWhat Apple Just Did in Solar Is a Really Big Deal\nIt was a year ago this week that Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook responded to a climate-change heckler at the company's annual shareholder meeting with an impassioned rebuttal in which he famously told investors who care only about profits to \"get out of the stock.\"\nNow Cook is putting his prodigious sums of money where his mouth is, proclaiming the \u201cbiggest, boldest and most ambitious project ever,\u201d an $850 million agreement to buy Solar power from First Solar, the biggest U.S. developer of Solar farms. The deal will supply enough electricity to power all of Apple\u2019s California stores, offices, headquarters and a data center, Cook said Tuesday at the Goldman Sachs technology conference in San Francisco.\nIt\u2019s the biggest-ever Solar procurement deal for a company that isn't a utility, and it nearly triples Apple\u2019s stake in Solar, according to an analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). \u201cThe investment amount is enormous,\u201d said Michel Di Capua, head of North American research at BNEF. \u201cThis is a really big deal.\u201d\nIconic Apple can only increase US and also global interest in Solar power. It remains far more flexible and adaptable in terms of instillations than any other source of electricity. It also has more scope for lower costs because Solar benefits more from technological progress than any other source of power.\nOil Bears Miss Biggest Rally Since 2012 as Rigs Withdraw\nThis article by Moming Zhou for Bloomberg may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\nThe United Steelworkers union, which represents employees at more than 200 U.S. oil refineries, terminals, pipelines and chemical plants, began a strike at nine sites on Sunday, the biggest walkout called since 1980. A full walkout of USW workers would threaten to disrupt as much as 64 percent of U.S. fuel production.\nThe U.S. oil rig count dropped to a three-year low of 1,223, Baker Hughes said Jan. 30. Drillers idled 352 oil rigs in eight weeks.\nRoyal Dutch Shell Plc, Occidental Petroleum Corp. and ConocoPhillips alone said they would reduce spending by almost $10 billion this year.\nChevron Corp. cut its drilling budget by the most in 12 years and said it may delay some shale projects. The company is targeting $35 billion in capital projects this year, from $40.3 billion in 2014.\n\u201cOil production growth should be flat or declining by May or June unless there\u2019s some substantial recovery in oil prices,\u201d James Williams, an economist at WTRG Economics, an energy-research firm in London, Arkansas, said by phone Jan. 30.\nFalling prices necessitate that those heavily impacted by the decline act. Oil companies cutting investment is an expected response and they will be slow to ramp back up now that they have relearned how swiftly prices can fall when supply exceeds demand. Striking union workers introduces a fresh dynamic and could act as a bullish catalyst if they succeed in withholding supply from the market.\nBrent Crude rallied by an additional $1.80 today to take the bounce to almost $10 from the mid- January low. This is the largest rally since the onset of the decline in June and suggests short covering is underway. Considering the speed and depth of the decline there is ample room for mean reversion and an unwind of the short-term oversold condition. However once this rally has run its course a potentially lengthy period of support building will probably be required before a return to medium-term demand dominance will be in evidence.\nCSEM White Solar Panels Are Made to Blend into Buildings\nHere is the opening of this informative article from Gizmag:\nSolar panels are seen as a way of making buildings greener and more sustainable, as well as making them less dependent on the grid for power. The problem is that the blue/black panels stick out like sore thumbs and end up exiled to rooftops. With the goal of making Solar panels aesthetically invisible, the Swiss private, nonprofit technology company CSEM has developed what it bills as the world's first white Solar modules \u2013 designed to blend into buildings instead of sitting on the roof.\nThe reason why most Solar panels look like something off of a beetle\u2019s back is because of the need to absorb visible light. Since nothing absorbs like something colored black, the photovoltaic cells that make up the panel are as dark as possible. That may do the job, but it also means that any Solar panel installation looks like exactly what it is, which doesn\u2019t leave architects with much latitude.\nCSEM reasoned that what designers wanted was a panel that would come in different colors and has no visible connections, with white being the most desirable because of its versatility. The way in which the company managed this is with a plastic layer that goes over the panel. This layer acts as a scattering filter that reflects all visible light, yet lets in infrared rays, which allows the panel to generate electricity. CSEM claims that this layer works with any crystalline silicon cell and can be applied to any existing panel whether it\u2019s flat or curved.\nThe company says that the technology has a number of advantages beside the cosmetic. Being white, the layer keeps the Solar panels at a lower temperature, making them more efficient, as well as reducing air conditioning costs.\nCSEM sees the technology as having not only applications in architecture, but in consumer goods such as laptops, phones, and vehicles such as cars and buses, as the layer is adapted to cover a range of colors.\nThe video below introduces the white Solar panel technology.\nHardly a week goes by without another new, creative breakthrough for Solar power, which is by far the most versatile form of renewable energy. Yes, they do not work at night and they do not have the capacity to be a standalone solution to our power needs. However, these Solar panels are likely to be ubiquitous within a few years, available in all shapes, sizes and colours for our buildings, and even our laptops and mobile phones. Mass production of these panels will lower costs helping to reduce our dependence on the grid for power.\nGlobal Ripple Effects Of American Energy Independence\nThanks to a subscriber for this highly informative report which ties a number of energy themes together. Here is a section:\nIt\u2019s rare for more than one disruptive change to occur, but the unfolding of seven disruptive changes at once is unique to energy market today.\nMuch attention is rightfully being placed on the shale revolution in the US, which is impacting both sweet and sour crude flows starting in North America, but soon after that, the world.\nNot far behind is the deep water revolution, also focused substantially on N. America, but also the Atlantic and Pacific Basins.\nRefinery capacity build-out in the Middle East and East Asia are turning global flows on their head.\nRussia\u2019s move from a lumpy European supplier of oil and gas to a global supplier is having significant repercussions on the balance between pipeline and seaborne transportation.\nChina\u2019s preference for pipeline sourcing, is impacting not just Central Asian supply lines, but is reinforcing Russia\u2019s move toward tied pipeline transportation.\nNew sources of LNG in the US, Canada and Australia are about to have dramatic impacts on the pricing and flows of natural gas globally.\nThe dramatic drop in Solar pricing, combined with ongoing drive to boost renewable generation, is already impacting coal and natural gas markets, but is posing questions of economic viability for various high-cost LNG projects.\nWe are living through an incredibly interesting period in the energy markets. The high price environment that has prevailed for much of the last decade has translated into a supply response where new supplies and adoption of alternatives will change the complexion of the market for years to come.\nEmail of the day on European solar ETFs\nHello, I was wondering if you could analyse the Solar power sector, in Europe there are no funds or ETFs to invest in this sector. In the US I found the Guggenheim Solar ETF. I notice that this ETF is very correlated with the heaviest weighted stock, First Solar, so I will probably buy this as being in Europe we are fiscally punished if we buy us ETFs which are not compliant with UCITS regulations. Anyway First Solar seems to have a very interesting chart could you please comment thanks\nThank you for this question and following a search on Bloomberg I did not find a dedicated Solar fund listed in Europe. I\u2019ve reviewed Solar companies on a number of occasions over the last year not least because they were rallying from deeply depressed levels and because the technological advances seen in the sector hold out the potential for a truly game changing innovation in the energy sector globally. Here is a link to the Tag for Solar comments.\nBlackstone Unit Foreshadows Google Path to Power Company\nThis article by Ehren Goossens, Mark Chediak and Jim Polson for Bloomberg may be of interest to subscribers. Here is a section:\nMeanwhile, Comcast, the cable giant, is in a pilot project with NRG in Pennsylvania that adds electricity to its cable, phone and Internet packages. AT&T last year entered the home automation and security business in 15 markets; while not yet planning power sales, it has introduced a smart thermostat that puts it solidly in the home energy-management business. It could do what Comcast and Vivint are doing.\nGoogle\u2019s $3.2 billion acquisition of smart-home startup Nest in February \u201cought to give utility officials a sinking feeling in the pit of their stomachs\u201d since it makes clear the Technarians have begun to seriously eye at least the periphery of utility business if not its core, said Adrian Tuck, CEO of Tendril Networks Inc. a Boulder, Colorado-based energy-services management company.\nWhile coy about its ultimate energy ambitions, Google is already a power generator through more than $1.4 billion in clean energy investments and holds a wholesale power license.\nLast month it contributed $100 million to a program to promote rooftop Solar power with SunPower Corp.\nNest, maker of the Learning Thermostat that memorizes and adjusts to users\u2019 preferences, gives Google a leap-ahead presence in the burgeoning smart-home market at the precise time that power in the U.S. has begun to flow both ways with the rise of rooftop Solar and other forms of decentralized, home-grown energy, collectively called distributed generation.\nThough Tuck said he has no special insight into Google\u2019s thinking, he believes that its Nest acquisition may well be a \u201cTrojan horse\u201d that gives Google a back door into the utility industry with the ability to leverage its smart thermostats into massive quantities of salable demand response even as it begins to compete directly with utilities with its own green-power projects.\nGoogle spokesman Tim Drinan declined to comment on Tuck\u2019s speculation.\nTuck\u2019s company Tendril is also doing a brisk business in advising regional cable, home-security and home-automation companies how to exploit this opening. He said the utilities he talks to feel constrained by tradition, phobia or regulatory uncertainties from wading in -- a mistake he likens to Eastman Kodak Co. being slow to join the digital camera revolution.\nAs a society we need cheap abundant energy if we are to generate the type of productivity growth that can fuel a secular bull market. We don\u2019t have it yet but the advent of unconventional oil and gas coupled with technological innovation across a whole host of sectors increases the likelihood that energy price inflation will be much less of a factor in the next decades than it was in the last one.\nEmail of the day on Energy, Bank Capital & Cars\nHave you noticed US oil producers are having trouble capitalising on these higher global Oil prices. We both agree the world needs a cheap energy. I think it is unlikely that cheap energy source will be conventional or unconventional Oil and Gas. My concern is that cheap energy solution may take another 10 years to materialise.\nI still think European banking looks like Zombie banking. We know European banks have capital deficiencies. I think these banks are holding back a broad recovery in the European economy. My sources continue to tell me European banks are still trying to shrink balance sheets. I believe the ECB needs to be more proactive in solving this problem. I see ECB is talking of QE - I am not sure this idea is the solution more likely the problem. However the bank capital dilemma needs to be addressed quickly otherwise Europe faces a possible Japanese situation of low growth for decades.\nLike you I am a strong believer in the big European global business brands and product solutions. However the availability of credit is stifling growth in Europe's smaller companies and businesses. From what I observe VW increasingly looks like it is going to dominate the global car industry. Unless Toyota can catch up in this technology race they will lose their cherished Crown of the dominate global car producer. As for old world car companies Ford , GM etc. sadly they look like a great short to me. Every time I hire rental car in the US I come away with the thought how do US car companies do it so badly and remain in business. I don't expect US cars to handle like my Porsche but US cars are just plain scary to drive.\nPlease keep up the good service.\nThank you for sharing your perspective on a range of topics. The revolution in unconventional supply of oil and gas can be viewed in terms of a supply response to high prices. At the beginning of the last decade $40 was considered the highest price possible for oil with the result that a great deal of additional supply was simply uneconomic.\nCanadian bitumen becomes economic in the region of $40. Generally speaking more established offshore oil fields, such as the North Sea, have a breakeven in the region of $20-$25 while newer offshore such as Brazil\u2019s pre salt ultra-deep water fields comes in closer to $45. A number of the unconventional plays have breakevens closer to the $50-60 area. As a result, we can conclude that price is the determining factor in which sources of potential supply are ultimately moved into production.\nSunPower and Google Form $250 Million Solar Lease Program\nThis article from Bloomberg mentions the latest development in the world\u2019s fastest improving and fastest growing renewable energy technology.\nThis item continues in the Subscriber's Area.\nOn Solar power:\n\u201cYou probably saw this already, being (like me) a fan of the tremendous progress and potential in Solar power. A new cheap energy source is one of the key requirements to drive the expanding Third Industrial Revolution - and it is right on track to power the next secular bull market.\u201d\nMany thanks for this informed email and an exceptionally good article. Actually, while Eoin and I read as much as we can, we see only a fraction of what is potentially informative for the Collective. Therefore we really appreciate these contributions from subscribers, contributed in the spirit or Empowerment Through Knowledge.\nThe report is posted in the Subscriber\u2019s Area.\nZombies Spreading Shows Chaori Default Just Start: China Credit\nTotal debt of publicly traded non-financial companies in China and Hong Kong has surged to $1.98 trillion from $607 billion at the end of 2007. Some 63 companies have a debt-to- equity ratio exceeding 400 percent, compared to the average of 73 percent. In latest filings, 351 have negative ratios of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to interest expenses, while 409 have coverage of less than 1.\nRenewable energy, materials, household appliances and software companies dominate the rankings.\nPremier Li Keqiang is trying to balance efforts to avoid sharper slowdowns in economic growth with steps to rein in debt.\nExpansion in gross domestic product is set to cool to a more than two-decade low of 7.5 percent this year from 7.7 percent in 2013, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.\n$630 billion in Chinese corporate debt will need to be paid off or refinanced this year and we have just seen the first onshore default. It is a reasonable expectation that more will follow. Until now, investment vehicles have been supported by government largesse and investors have been made whole in the event of trouble. That is simply unsustainable, not least because the debt market is now so large that to continue on that trajectory would eventually bankrupt the country.\nOn developments in Solar power:\n\u201cHello David, it's me again. The article below on Solar power appeared in today's City A.M. paper (London). The author draws a graphic analogy of panels installed to date with the Ford Model-T which was produced from 1908-1927. Look at the sophistication, reliability and affordability of modern cars by comparison and we get some idea of how amazing Solar power is likely to become in coming decades. It will transform the world, in my humble opinion.\u201d\nEd: Here is a section:\nFirst, grid parity \u2013 when electricity generation is competitive with grid-electricity rates without subsidies \u2013 is edging closer. In 2012, Bloomberg reported that Germany, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Australia, and Brazil could already expect to achieve at least a 6 per cent return on PV investments. Many of these countries still offer indirect subsidies, so the market isn\u2019t competitive quite yet. But the direction is clear. The average US PV market will likely reach proper grid parity around 2020, and states like California should reach that point sooner. Within a few years, arguments about feed-in tariffs will become irrelevant in many countries, because the Solar industry won\u2019t need subsidies.\nSecond, large companies are flocking to Solar. Thanks in part to cheap PV modules, non-energy businesses are becoming mini power generators. The retail giant Walmart already has a Solar-energy capacity of almost 90 megawatts (MW) in the US. If the retailer installed panels on every US store, it could generate 1.5 to 2 gigawatts \u2013 or about twice the output of my local nuclear power station. If other big-box retailers follow \u2013 and many are already doing so \u2013 we could see collective generation capacity skyrocket, making Solar increasingly viable as part of the energy mix.\nIts potential goes beyond retail. Solar is well-suited to industrial and processing applications: in Saudi Arabia, the Al-Khafji Solar-powered seawater desalination plant is set to produce 30,000 cubic metres of salt-free water per day. And entrepreneurs are honing new applications. The US startup WaterFX, for example, is developing Solar \u201ctroughs\u201d that remove salt from water by distillation to deal with drought.\nBut these innovations are only possible because Solar technology is developing rapidly. Today\u2019s domestic PV modules are the Ford Model-Ts of Solar: cheap, mass-produced, commercial pioneers. But they are poor at converting sunlight into electricity (efficiencies of around 10 to 15 per cent are common). These figures, however, could easily double.\nScientists from the California Institute of Technology and partners are developing a new multi-junction cell with a target efficiency of over 50 per cent. Building-integrated PV \u2013 glazing that generates power \u2013 could further popularise Solar power. And PV is not the only form of Solar energy. Improvements in other approaches, such as concentrated Solar power (CSP), are possible. CSP uses mirrors to concentrate a large amount of sunlight onto a small area, driving a turbine. Just look at Spain\u2019s 50MW Solnova Solar power station.\nMany thanks for the article, as informative emails are most welcome, not least in the field of technology. Solar farms can be understandably contentious if they are anywhere near recreational areas and sights of natural beauty, although they are considerably less menacing than noisy windmills.\nSolar and wind shares were among the big winners in 2013 as they recovered from what amounted to brushes with bankruptcy for a number of the weaker companies. The rationalisation of global capacity, lower prices for Solar cells on a per unit of electricity basis and recovering demand all helped to fuel investor interest.",

        "raw_content": "Vienna, 5 June 1997 (G-77) - Issued in Vienna on 4 June 1997, an independent expert report commissioned by the Danish Government praises the successful reform of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and urges all Member States to continue supporting the Organization's important work. The Danish Assessment of UNIDO is a key contribution for ongoing consultations among Member States on UNIDO's future and for decisions to be taken in the coming months. Denmark, within its policy of \"active multilateralism\", has played an important role in assessing the work of a range of UN organizations.\nThe Assessment concludes that there is a definite need for an independent industrial development organization in the United Nations system and acknowledges the effective implementation of UNIDO reform since 1993. \"There are clearly identifiable needs, and even increasingly so, for the kinds of services provided by the Organization and UNIDO has proved capable since 1995 of adjusting its portfolio of services and modes of operating ... so as to become more responsive to those needs and at the same time more effective and efficient\" the report states.\nThrough a re-engineering of management processes, UNIDO has brought down its administrative and operational costs of technical cooperation delivery from 22% in 1993 to 14.5% in 1996. \"This gives UNIDO the lowest administrative and operational support cost-to-delivery ratio among the UN agencies using the same measurement methodology.\nThe marked increase in demand for UNIDO's services proves the need for a neutral and independent provider of integrated services in support of industrial development. This increase in demand cannot justify overall budget cuts.",

Rosenberg on Nov 6, 2011)\nFACT AS TO WHETHER HANDRAIL REQUIRED WHERE ACCIDENT VICTIM FELL UP STEPS; DEFENSE SUMMARY JUDGMENT DENIED (Posted by Brooklyn injury lawyer Gary E. Rosenberg on Mar 23, 2012)\nMARBLE CHIP IN STEP \"NOSING\" IS \"TRIVIAL DEFECT\" AND DEFEATS STAIRWAY TRIP-AND-FALL CASE; SUMMARY JUDGMENT GRANTED TO DEFENSE (Posted by Brooklyn injury lawyer Gary E. Rosenberg on Nov 26, 2011)\nOrder, Supreme Court, New York County (Jane S. Solomon, J.), entered August 5, 2010, which, in an action for personal injuries, granted defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.\nPlaintiff Bianca Langer was injured on November 10, 2007, when she fell on a five\u2011inch single step transition at the entrance to a second\u2011floor banquet room at a restaurant in midtown Manhattan. By summons and complaint dated January 15, 2008, plaintiff and her husband commenced a personal injury suit against the restaurant, the building owner, and two individual defendants, who are officers of the owner and co\u2011managed the restaurant. Plaintiffs allege, inter alia, that the step was a dangerous condition that defendants negligently allowed to persist and of which defendants failed to warn. They further argued that the step violated sections of the New York City Building Code, including Administrative Code of the City of N.Y. Sec. 27-375(d)(2) and (f) (requiring a handrail for step[s] having less than two risers in succession), and Sec. 27-370(d) (requiring a \"ramp\" in an \"exit passageway\" where there are fewer than two risers).\nAt the conclusion of discovery, defendants moved for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. Defendants argued, inter alia, that the step was not a latent dangerous condition, and even if it was, adequate warnings of the step were provided. In support of their motion, defendants submitted the affidavit of an engineering expert who opined that the step was clearly visible, and that the injury occurred as a result of plaintiff wife's carelessness in failing to make normal and expected observations of the area in front of her including the step. Plaintiffs' engineering expert countered in his affidavit that the similarity in the flooring of the hallway and the banquet room obscured the step.\nIn a decision and order dated August 3, 2010, the motion court granted defendants summary judgment and dismissed the complaint. The motion court found that plaintiffs failed to raise a triable issue of fact as to the existence of a latent defective condition, and disagreed with plaintiffs' contention that the step violated the Building Code. Since plaintiffs did not oppose defendants' motion as to the individual defendants, the court dismissed the complaint against them. On appeal, plaintiffs argue that the motion court erred in dismissing their complaint against the restaurant and building owner because the conditions of the step area created \"optical confusion,\" rendering the step dangerous.\nFor the reasons set forth below we find that the step was not a latent defective condition. There is no evidence of \"optical confusion\" and defendants did not violate the Building Code.\nIt is well established that owners and lessees have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition (Tagle v. Jakob, 97 N.Y.2d 165, 168, 737 N.Y.S.2d 331, 763 N.E.2d 107 [2001]). A defendant moving for summary judgment has the initial burden of showing that it did not create a dangerous condition, or have actual or constructive notice of a dangerous condition (Rodriguez v. 705-7 E. 179th St. Hous. Dev. Fund Corp., 79 A.D.3d 518, 913 N.Y.S.2d 189 [2010]).\nDefendants demonstrated their prima facie entitlement to summary judgment. Defendant restaurant manager testified that the step existed at the time the building was purchased by defendants. Defendants refinished the floor prior to opening the restaurant and affixed strips of reflector tape to the hallway floor leading to the step at the entrance to the banquet room. Furthermore, the manager testified there had been no prior accidents in the step area in the 28 years since the restaurant opened (see e.g. Remes v. 513 W. 26th Realty, LLC, 73 A.D.3d 665, 903 N.Y.S.2d 8 [2010] [the defendants granted summary judgment because the deposition testimony established that no prior similar incidents had occurred and that bright lights illuminated the stairway area, and photographs showed an obvious drop in elevation and trimmings against the wall outlining the steps]; Burke v. Canyon Rd. Rest., 60 A.D.3d 558, 876 N.Y.S.2d 25 [2009] [the defendants granted summary judgment because deposition testimony established that the area of the step was illuminated, and that the general manager of the restaurant for the last several years was not aware of any complaints or accidents]).\nIn opposition, plaintiffs fail to raise a triable issue of fact as to the dangerous condition of the step. A condition that is visible to one \"reasonably using his or her senses\" is not inherently dangerous (Tagle, 97 N.Y.2d at 170, 737 N.Y.S.2d 331, 763 N.E.2d 107). However, a step may be dangerous where the conditions create \"optical confusion\" -- the illusion of a flat surface, visually obscuring the step (Brooks v. Bergdorf-Goodman Co., 5 A.D.2d 162, 163, 170 N.Y.S.2d 687 [1958] ). \"[F]indings of liability have typically turned on factors, such as inadequate warning of the drop, coupled with poor lighting, inadequate demarcation between raised and lowered areas, or some other distraction or similar dangerous condition\" (Schreiber v. Philip & Morris Rest. Corp., 25 A.D.2d 262, 263, 268 N.Y.S.2d 510 [1966], affd., 19 N.Y.2d 786, 279 N.Y.S.2d 730, 226 N.E.2d 537 [1967]).\nMore recently, this Court examined these factors and found that the plaintiff raised a triable issue of fact as to whether the condition of a five\u2011inch transition step outside of a store created \"optical confusion.\" In Saretsky v. 85 Kenmare Realty Corp., 85 A.D.3d 89, 924 N.Y.S.2d 32 (2011), the plaintiff presented evidence that the concrete surface of the step and the sidewalk at the bottom of the step were similar shades of gray and that the painted line marking the top edge of the transition step was very worn. The similarity in surface colors and failure to demarcate the edge of the step created the illusion of a level surface and there were no signs warning of the step (id. at 92-93, 924 N.Y.S.2d 32).\nThis case presents an entirely different scenario. Photographs in the record indicate that four reflective strips are positioned parallel to the step and each other, spaced two to three inches apart, and graduated in size with the longest strip placed on the top edge of the step. During deposition, plaintiffs described the strips as \"bright\" and the lighting in the hallway and banquet room as \"ordinary\" and \"well\u2011lit.\" As the motion court noted, a sign, which read \"Step Down\" with an arrow pointing diagonally downward toward the step, was placed on the wall near the entrance to the banquet room and visible to anyone walking down the hallway (see e.g. Broodie v. Gibco Enters., Ltd., 67 A.D.3d 418, 888 N.Y.S.2d 32 [2009] [summary judgment granted to the defendant because photographs depicted the step as clearly painted in white and black so as to be visible, and black and yellow \"CAUTION WATCH YOUR STEP\" signs were posted nearby]).\nFurthermore, unlike the plaintiff in Saretsky, plaintiff's testimony establishes that she was \"not looking.\" She testified that she was looking \"straight ahead\" into the banquet room at the bartender (compare Saretsky, 85 A.D.3d at 92, 924 N.Y.S.2d 32 [the plaintiff testified that she \"didn't see\" the step, not that she was \"not looking\"]).\nPlaintiffs' reliance upon Administrative Code Secs. 27-217, 27-232, 27-70(d) and Sec. 27-375(f) to argue that the single step constituted a negligent design, and that a ramp and handrail were warranted for the banquet entranceway, is misplaced. The step in question does not fit within the definition of \"interior stairs\" (see Administrative Code Sec. 27-232; Sec. 27-375[f]), since it does not serve as a \"required exit.\" The step was located on the building's second floor and was separated by a common hallway and a flight of stairs from an exit door on the first floor (see e.g. Cusumano v. City of New York, 15 N.Y.3d 319, 324, 910 N.Y.S.2d 410, 937 N.E.2d 74 [2010] [the stairs where plaintiff fell did not serve as an \"exit,\" but rather as a means of walking from the first floor to the basement]; Remes, 73 A.D.3d at 666, 903 N.Y.S.2d 8 [2010] [subject stairs did not serve as an exit to the building] ). The step also did not fit within the definition of an \"exit passageway\" (see Administrative Code Sec. 27-232; Sec. 27-370[d]), since an exit passageway does not include corridors, or corridor doors, which, in this case, exist between the step and the exit door on the first floor.",

        "raw_content": "Did you know the flu pandemic of 1918 in the United States contributed to the birth and growth of the chiropractic profession? We tell this story to most of our patients and they just don\u2019t believe it. But it\u2019s true, and here\u2019s why. But first off, we\u2019ll start with a bit of context, as you may have never heard about this terrible and traumatic piece of history.\nA Deadly Time To Be Alive\nThe flu pandemic of 1918 produced the deadliest infection in modern history, having spread on over an estimated 500 million people throughout the world. The pandemic infected almost one-third of the world\u2019s population killing between 20 and 50 million people. More than 25 percent of the U.S. population became sick, and over half a million Americans died during the pandemic.\nNo effective drugs or vaccines existed at the time of the pandemic. Humanity had no real treatments or means of preventing the strain from spreading. American citizens were ordered to wear sterile masks while schools and other places of mass gathering were shut down. But not everyone was succumbing to the virus. Here\u2019s where chiropractic care started to gain popularity and relevance at this particular point in history.\nChiropractic research led to pockets of communities where doctors and osteopaths administered spinal adjustments that focused on the health and well-being of the nervous system. Medical statistics in Davenport, Iowa, detailed that exactly 4,953 cases of flu were treated by 50 medical doctors, with 274 of those patients having perished from the virus.\nAnd here\u2019s the jaw-dropping effect our patients always react to, and rightly so: approximately 150 chiropractors and chiropractic students cared for 1,635 patients with the flu; with only one death accounted for. Moreover, 9.2 percent of flu cases that sought traditional medical attention died during this terrible season. Only one-fourth of one percent (.0025 percent to be precise) of patients receiving chiropractic care died during the pandemic. Now that\u2019s a mind-blowing fact. Chiropractic patients experience approximately 1/40th of the death rate experienced by those patients seeking medical intervention.\nConfirmed: Chiropractic Flu Treatment Saves Lives\nThe flu pandemic of 1918 put Chiropractic in the national spotlight as an alternative form of health care that focused on the intelligent power within the body. The advantages to the health of our body\u2019s nervous system that chiropractic care provides helps the correct functioning of blood flow, increasing our response rates upon threats and making our cells more agile in carrying nutrients and oxygen.\nThe observations during the 1918 flu pandemic did not fall unnoticed by current health researchers. In fact some of the most forward thinking, cutting edge research has demonstrated that chiropractic treatment boosts the function of your immune system.\nThe same type of treatment that helped many Americans experience only 1/40th the death rate during the flu pandemic of 1918, are given today in Chiropractic clinics all over the world with similar immune-building benefits. At Back2Health we\u2019ve been named the best chiropractic office in the Poconos for 5 years in a row, and we pride ourselves of approaching the health of our patients in a \u201cwhole person\u201d way, analyzing each individual organism for a fully personalized treatment.\nTop Tips For The Flu Season...\nAs the flu season arrives, one of the most important and evidence-based measures a family can take towards preventing or overcoming the flu is to keep up with their routine spinal care with their chiropractor. This will improve blood flow and oxygen provision to all of our body, as the nervous system acts like the command center of our organism.\nIn addition to routine Chiropractic care, at Back2Health we recommend the following precautions:\nAvoid sugar intake during flu season to keep your immune system functioning at its highest possible level. Studies have demonstrated that a blood sugar level of only 120 can depress your immune system function by up to 75% for 4-6 hours!\nGet adequate rest. Try to get at least 7-8 hours of rest per evening. Exercise is good, but avoid exertion or excessive physical stress on the body during flu season.\nWash your hands frequently and avoid those that are actively infected.\nBoost your Vitamin D intake. Vitamin D is an inexpensive way to boost your immune system during the winter months, when the sun is less present. A huge global research study completed in 2017 demonstrated that Vitamin D supplementation benefits extend beyond bone health and have a positive impact on your immune system. Nordic countries like Denmark, Norway and Sweden place Vitamin D intake as a must-do during winter seasons.\nDo you have any further questions? Don\u2019t hesitate to contact the Doctors or staff at Back 2 Health to help you put together your family\u2019s flu-prevention game plan!",

As the original version gained the love of so many players, the developers continue working on the second version.\nThis game from gogy for school is entirely different from the action games, fighting games or shooting games which the kids have already been familiar with. When you look to the right of the screen, you will see four natural elements: water, earth, fire and air. This game will allow you to combine the elements by yourself and there are new discoveries for you to make. As you combine different elements, new elements will show up.\nFor example, when you combine earth and air, you will get dust - the earth's dandruff. Or lava - the hot liquefied rock- is the combination of fire and earth. Keep on combining the elements to create new ones. The highlight of this gogy game is the educational information. Not only will you enjoy mixing up the factors, but you will also learn about the name and the function of them. All of your results will be gathered and kept in your personal encyclopedia. Kids will be able to check the definition and the combination whenever they like.\nCheck out more interesting games such as Jelly Go and Angry Birds Space at Khttp://www.gogy.games for kids.\nAriel As Hand Model",

        "raw_content": "The way planets position themselves in the first half of May 19, 2014 suggests you should base all your decisions solely on sound logics and common sense. Emotions and intuition might send you in the wrong direction by reinforcing your doubts.\nStars want you to avoid hypocrisy, self-indulgence and extravagance. .\nToday simply demonstrating independence is not enough for Aries. By choosing to walk this path, you will constantly feel as if something is missing. In order to feel valued and needed, lend a helping hand to others.\nTaurus has got energy to spare - use it more actively. Maybe you should organize a party or do necessary shopping. You may end up spending more than you originally planned. A female Taurus, for example, can easily betray her usual thoroughness and buy trendy trinkets and exotic produce.\nSituation at home can interfere with Gemini's plans. Many female Twins will find it hard to maintain the image of a queen when they have to clean the house and do mountains of dishes. If you have invited people over, prepare for additional hassle.\nCancer may find themselves in a confusing situation: you may receive a contradicting information and not know what to do with it. Don't focus on details too much or else you are in danger of not seeing the forest because of all the trees.\nTime off work is the best thing for Leo to choose on May 19, 2014 - this is something the stars fully agree on with the official calendar. You are less concerned with your finances, still don't let this side of things slide. Try not to overspend on enjoyable trifles and excessive pleasures.\nVarious wishes and wants have got a full control of Virgo today. You won't be able to satisfy them all no matter how hard you try. You may experience mood swings, constant changes of plans and overreaching expectations. It is no surprise if as a result you will face disappointment and broken dreams.\nLibra's exciting plans may get dissected into thousands of fragments and as a result may lose their appeal. You might have to make corrections to your goals because of others' insignificant needs. It is also likely that your health may be in the way of your endeavors.\nUnexpected good luck may be accompanied by losses. Scorpio may lose a small amount of money or miss out on an opportunity to make a profit; perhaps, you may get disappointed in some plans and hopes. Your typical criticism might complicate your love life and make you think of the future.\nSagittarius is ready to question its own ideals for the sake of achieving immediate goals. You may even temporarily change the way you look and communicate. You may have disagreements with people because of the details that get too much attention.\nDo what you please without adjusting to others. You will be quite successful the minute you set your heart on it. It is however probable that you will choose to lazily travel a familiar route and spend lots of energy on things that don't matter.\nDespite promising perspectives in Aquarius' personal life, the Water Bearer can still be unhappy about it. You may be tormented by doubts, disagreements and misunderstanding all day long. You may start comparing your current partner to your ex; at the same time, you may just as well end up being the object of your partner's scrutiny.\nPisces may think that their partner or other close person is picking on them or even mocking them. Before expressing your indignation, take a look at yourself with someone else's eyes. It is quite possible that it was you who placed a time bomb in the foundation of your relationship.",

We may not take part in all of FP2.\"\nThe team was evidently attempting to gather as much data as possible in the first session of free practice, which partly explains the decision to put soft rubber on Paul Di Resta's car when the track was still apparently dusty in the first session of free practice, resulting in third quickest time.\nIt is understood that with protests scheduled for later in the day, Force India's security advice is to travel before the hours of darkness and that the team feels duty bound to put the safety of its staff first, having witnessed first-hand what can happen.\nThe obvious question is: what are the implications that for qualifying and the race, which have respective Saturday and Sunday start times the same as and one hour later than the second session of free practice?\nLogically, the team may feel that they have no choice but to participate in qualifying and the race, but can do some rescheduling to limit risk today.\nPRACTICE 2 REPORT - ROSBERG IMPRESSIVE IN BAHRAIN FP2\nPRACTICE 1 REPORT - HAMILTON TOPS BAHRAIN FP1",

The result of Arsenal's secret project, called \"The Game Changer,\" was shown to the world on August 7th, 2013.\nBefore that date, a select group of evaluators at Guns & Ammo were given a first look at the very first sample. It's finished in black, wears a U.S.-manufactured Bulgarian-style handguard with gas tube cover, and looks like it should already be a member of the SAM7R family. But if you look closely, you'll see why Arsenal is particularly proud of this one.\nWe have yet to completely evaluate the Arsenal SAM7SF AK-47 on the range, but look for a full report in an upcoming issue of Guns & Ammo magazine on newsstands.\nintroducing-the-arsenal-sam7sf-ak-47",

Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having small increases is more rewarding than trying to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to take a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Second, there\u2019s more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that never have made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.\nEntrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making substantial ammonts of money with various kinds of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin architecture provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an extraordinary 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 quite profitable business models made available due to the growing use of blockchain technology.\nIt is certainly possible, but it must be able to understand opportunities irrespective of market behaviour. The market moves in relation to price BTC \u2026 So even supposing it\u2019s in a BTC trend 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\u2019ll be fine.\nThe Affluence Network International Terms And Conditions \u2013 Hybrid Pass Up\nMany people choose to use a currency deflation, particularly individuals who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary solitude, for instance, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you\u2019re living pay check to pay check, it would take place within your riches, with the remainder reserved for other currencies.\nEthereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could rise drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to manage or to stop operation.\nFor most users of cryptocurrencies it isn\u2019t crucial to understand how the process operates in and of itself, but it\u2019s basically important to understand that there\u2019s a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can only select to print endless quantities (I am not saying they\u2019re doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.\nThe physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), including companies that provide long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally links in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through any of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the correct location at the right time.\nWhile none of these organizations owns 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\u2019s happening to discover how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent 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 for connecting to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it repaired. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are worked out.\nThe advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn\u2019t governed by any centered company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that\u2019s something that as a dedicated promoter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present inherent difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.\nYou have probably heard this many times where you typically spread the nice word about crypto. It\u2019s not erratic? What happens if the value accidents? to date, many POS systems provides free transformation of fiat, improving some problem, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people is likely to be resistant to carry any. We have to find a way to combat the volatility that\u2019s inherent in cryptocurrencies.\nWhen searching on the web for The Affluence Network international terms and conditions, there are many things to ponder.\nThe Affluence Network International Terms And Conditions \u2013 Reverse 3-Up\nClick here to visit our home page and learn more about The Affluence Network international terms and conditions.\nBitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there\u2019s no authorities, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it\u2019s more resistant to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and seclusion can readily be achieved by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn\u2019t put your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.\nJust a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer couldn\u2019t buy all present bitcoins. This scenario isn\u2019t to suggest that markets are not vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there is certainly no requirement for substantial sums of cash to move market prices up or down. The merest events on earth market can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.\nCryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also get involved in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable 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 methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.\nIf you are looking for The Affluence Network international terms and conditions, look no further than T.A.N.I..\nHybrid Affiliate Commissions \u2013 The Affluence Network International Terms And Conditions\nHere is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don\u2019t physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is nothing more than a representation of value, but there is absolutely no actual tangible form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don\u2019t have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed.\nThe sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the method by which it\u2019s transacted. All deals over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. After you\u2019re paid, you get paid. This isn\u2019t anything short term where your visitors may challenge or require a refunds, or employ illegal sleight of hand. In practice, many professionals could be a good idea to use a payment processor, because of the permanent dynamics of crypto currency deals, you should make sure that protection is hard. With any kind of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially get access to your personal tips and so steal your money. Unfortunately, you probably can never have it back. It\u2019s quite crucial for you yourself to adopt some great safe and secure techniques when dealing with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from all of these bad functions.\nIn case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could also be exchanged being a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim this form of virtual cash isn\u2019t governed by way of a main banking system and it is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are a limited quantity of products, this coinis value is founded on market forces, letting entrepreneurs to business over cryptocurrency exchanges.\nMining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are exactly the same. Mining crypto coins means you\u2019ll get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater chance of solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, based on the number of shares won.\nIf you\u2019re thinking about going it alone, it really is worth noting that the software settings for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a secure stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the benefit.\nCryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers argue that there is real value, even through there isn\u2019t any physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that\u2019s, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that\u2019s worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some kind of reward so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which is among the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. Anyone who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is supplied by another address, which is a wallet file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.\nThe fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason for this could be merely that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible the regulators just don\u2019t comprehend the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act.\n\"description\": \"The Affluence Network International Terms And Conditions - Reverse 3-Up - Affluence Network\",\n\"name\": \"The Affluence Network International Terms And Conditions\"\n\"alternativeHeadline\": \"Reverse 3-Up - What Is The Affluence Network International Platinum Ingot CPU Mining\",\n\"headline\": \"Reverse Pass Up - The Affluence Network International Terms And Conditions\",\n\"The Affluence Network International Terms And Conditions\",\n\"TAN Affiliate Marketing\",\n\"What Is The Affluence Network Quotes\",\n\"text\": \"The Affluence Network International Terms And Conditions -\nCryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency.

        "raw_content": "Understanding Causes Of Dissatisfactions Among Compensated Landowners\ufffd In Expropriation Programs In Tanzania\nCletus Ndjovu\nCompensation Expectations, Expropriation Complaints, Expropriation Laws, Good Governance, Landowners\ufffd Dissatisfactions, Project Affected People.\nDissatisfaction of Project Affected People (PAPs) has been a common phenomenon worldwide and in most of the land acquisition programs carried out in Tanzania. The implementation of such programs has sometimes been delayed due to PAP\ufffds negative attitudes as a result of dissatisfactions. This has negative consequences for communities, acquiring authorities as well as program financers themselves. This study was aimed at finding out the causes, nature and levels of PAPs\ufffd dissatisfaction in land acquisition programs executed at Kurasini area in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The study explored methods used to deal with compensation complaints and evaluated the reactions of PAPs towards the said programs. Through interviews and a review of documents submitted to the ministry responsible for land acquisition regarding their dissatisfactions, it was possible to undertake the analyses. It was evident from the study that inadequate compensations, non-adherence to the laws, unfavorable resettlement practices, use of force by governments and acquiring authorities in making PAPs accept compensation, and lack of PAPs\ufffd involvement in the acquisition processes were identified as the most critical sources of discontent. Interviews also revealed that there were some dissatisfied PAPs who did not lodge complaints for a number of reasons but were equally dissatisfied for the same reasons. The study concludes up by recommending among others, that the government and the acquiring authorities should adhere to legal procedures governing compulsory purchase and compensation, ensure that negotiations are done with all parties involved in the acquisition programs, provide alternative plots besides monetary compensation, but after all recommendations, a plan for peaceful and agreeable resettlement of the PAPs is an initiative which would reduce or eliminate their resentments.\n[1]\tAlias, A. and Nasir Daud, M.D. (2006), \ufffdPayment of Adequate Compensation for Land Acquisition in Malasyia,\ufffd Pacific Rim Property Research Journal, Vol. 12 No. 3, pp. 326-349\n[2]\tAnderson, R., (1973).

        "raw_content": "Creating an Engine for Games\nWhat Is a Game Engine?\nPondering the Role of a Game Engine\nDeveloping a Game Engine\nBuilding the Game Skeleton Example Program\nA game is a specialized type of program, but it is still just a program written in a programming language. This means that you can create a game just as you would any other Windows program, such as the Skeleton application you saw in Hour 2, \"A Windows Game Programming Primer.\" However, certain game-specific tasks must be carried out in all games. Therefore, it would be quite helpful to organize the code in your games so that the game-specific code is isolated from the general Windows application code. In isolating this code, it might also be useful to build in some cool features that apply solely to games. The idea I'm suggesting is that of a game engine, which is a grouping of program code that performs tasks common to games. This lesson guides you through the design and development of a game engine that you'll build on throughout the remainder of the book.\nThe importance of a game engine in game development\nHow to design and develop a basic game engine for Windows game programming\nHow to create an example program that demonstrates the power of the game engine\nThink about a few different games you like, and try to think of them in terms of how they might be designed under the hood. More importantly, see if you can figure out any common design elements that would apply to all the games. For example, do all the games have a background, a title screen, and background music? If so, it's possible that they are designed around the concept of a game engine. Game engines are particularly useful in situations in which you plan on creating more than one game, and you don't want to have to reinvent the wheel each time around. The idea is that you figure out what common functionality all games use, and you write it once and stick it in the game engine.\nAnother significant benefit of a game engine for Windows games is that it allows you to hide the messy details of Windows-specific code that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a game. For example, most of the code you saw in the previous lesson has nothing to do with a game, but it's required of every Windows application. Rather than have you cut and paste this generic code to create a new game, I prefer hiding it in a game engine where you never have to fool with it again. You have an understanding of how it works, and you know it's there, but by not having to look at it you're free to focus on the more important and fun parts of your game code.\nIn case you're wondering, there's nothing magical or mysterious about a game engine. A game engine represents an organization of the code for a game so that general application tasks are separated from game-specific tasks. The benefit to the game developer is that you can add features to a game engine that you will be able to reuse in all of your future games. Additionally, using a game engine allows you to simplify the code for your games and focus your attention on the game code that matters most. Once you get accustomed to using a game engine, you'll wonder how games could be created any other way. In reality, most commercial game developers do have their own custom game engines that they've developed over years of learning what common features most games require.",

        "raw_content": "So you are considering working as a Pilates instructor and don\u2019t know where to begin. Perhaps you\u2019ve taken Pilates classes, thought to yourself this would be an interesting profession to get into and would like to get more answers. Well, keep on reading for good tips to help you decide if working as a Pilates instructor is something that you would like to pursue.\nWhat is your job like as a Pilates instructor and what do you do?\nFor those of you who don\u2019t know much about Pilates, you can learn more about it here, however, it can be summed up very simply. It is an exercise routine that involves many types of slow flowing movements that are designed in such a way to help stretch out every part of the body. As an instructor, you will lead classes and individuals teaching your students and showing them how to gain more flexibility, mobility, and strength.\nWorking as a Pilates instructor gives you a lot of flexibility in where you conduct classes. You have many options to choose from such as working for a studio, where you will be required to teach a certain number of classes. Then you have freelance work which you can do in your clients home, your home or at a rented studio.\nYou can also combine the two, work as a freelance instructor and make extra money while also have a regular paying job with a fitness studio. This allows you to build up your clientele and lets you work more on your own time and increases your earnings.\nThere are many skills to learn as a Pilates instructor and the job not only requires excellent fitness, but you should also be a very good teacher. You must be able to speak to your clients in an encouraging manner that gives them the motivation to continue. Keep in mind that the more your clients are motivated and excited to attend your class, the more referrals you will get. So remember that good communication skills in addition to being a great teacher is required to succeed in this profession.\nLearning Pilates opens up many doors and opportunities for work that you may not have thought was possible. You can anywhere in the world and teach Pilates! Many instructors who love to travel become Pilates teachers on cruise ships, resorts and other types of entertainment venues throughout the world. There is also plenty of work available at rehabilitation centers, gyms, and local colleges.\nEnhance your resum\u00e9 and training to instruct similar classes teaching Yoga and/or Kickboxing. All of these tend to tie in together, and you could be a one-stop shop for all of your clients\u2019 needs. It actually helps you become more well-rounded as a teacher when you have these additional skills, plus your clients will love the variations in their workouts, keeping everything fresh, so they stay motivated.\nOne of the best things about being a Pilates instructor is that the classes are up to you. With over 500 different moves you can combine them into many different combinations that keep your participants interested and always on their toes. They will wonder what you have planned for them everytime they enter the studio.\nRegular workouts can be boring and repetitive, but with Pilates, it is different every time. Additionally, you are helping your students gain a whole new perspective on life as you watch them transform their bodies to become more lean and flexible. It puts a smile on everyone\u2019s face and makes you as an instructor feel good about your job. Actually, it really doesn\u2019t feel like a job the more you get into it because you are constantly coming up with new and exciting routines.\nTo be a great Pilates instructor, you must also be good at teaching and have a lot of patience. Many of your clients when first starting out will not be in shape and may be reluctant in doing certain moves, but over time and with your guidance, you will change minds and win them over. Pretty soon they will be so excited to come to class, and that will make you feel much better as a teacher.\nAs you can see from above, working as a Pilates instructor involves a lot of teaching and a caring attitude. You must love working with people and have a lot of patience to succeed as a Pilates instructor.\nIf you are interested in getting into shape, Pilates is an excellent way to bolster your efforts. (If you\u2019re not familiar with Pilates, you can learn more about it here.)Regardless of whether you choose to incorporate it a couple of times each week into your exercise regime, or opt to engage in this incredible workout every day; it is essential that you have excellent resources to rely on.\nHowever, you shouldn\u2019t be under the impression that Pilates is equivalent to hitting the gym to lift weights or engaging in the latest fitness craze. In reality, Pilates is a well-established exercise routine that tones your body in ways that these other forms of exercise simply cannot.\nJoseph Pilates, a German-born physical trainer, developed these techniques in the first half of the 1900\u2019s. His father was a gymnast, and his mother a naturopath, which gave young Joseph a strong foundation in the importance of both physical fitness and understanding the body\u2019s innate ability to heal and thrive under the right circumstances. He began putting these principles into action, initially with soldiers and then dancers.\nHowever, you don\u2019t have to be a dancer or member of the military to use Pilates. In fact, as you begin perusing the best resources for Pilates exercises and information, you will quickly discover that folks from all walks of life use these methods today.\nIn fact, if you only view Pilates as a means to six-pack abs or tone your muscles, you will miss out on some of the most exciting benefits engaged practitioners experience. Make sure that the websites you visit understand that.\nFor instance, the Pilates Pal is dedicated to connecting instructors, students and interested parties with each other. Sales of used Pilates products and information about upcoming teaching opportunities are part of their pledge to connect people in the world of Pilates. Learn more about Pilates Pal and what they offer such as the ability to find Pilates classes in their Youtube video.\nYou might also want to look into Pilates Method Alliance and search for website resources based in your community. When taking a course from a local instructor, it is essential that you verify their credentials and methods. (Pilates has been expanded upon in different circles; thus newer techniques and routines are used by varying instructors throughout the world.)\nMake sure that any resources you depend on understand the basic principles behind Pilates. These six foundation pieces are: breath, centering, concentration, control, flow, and precision. When combined together, they create a fantastic well-rounded approach to health and wellness.\nWith regular practice, your body will be stronger and more flexible. The motions are designed to improve your control and balance so that you can execute virtually any movement with greater ease. The concept of balance applies in two ways. First of all, you will find it easier to reach for tall or distant objects without fear of falling. Secondly, Pilates works to balance the strength and flexibility of the right and left sides of your body.\nCheck out the resources mentioned above, and keep an open mind toward others. Focus on resources that provide the information, products and other connections you need to succeed with Pilates. You will be amazed at how much it can improve the way you look and feel!\nContrology is becoming more and more popular throughout the land, and yet with that popularity, there are so many misconceptions about what the founder of the method intended when he created the exercise back in the early 1900s. Well here at Inspire and Be Pilates, we are going to smash through the barriers of misperceptions and build up new foundations of understanding to bring the real meaning of Pilates to the world.\nWe want to tear down the idea that Pilates is only for improving a physique\u2019s appearance. We are interested in the way that Pilates benefits one\u2019s overall health.\nWe want to destroy the perception that a Pilates body has to look a certain way. There is no set physical appearance for a person who practices Pilates.\nWe want to bust through the on-going myth that Pilates is only for women. We will convey how that myth came to be, plus the way that the practitioners of Pilates have changed over time.\nWe will talk about all of these subjects and this thing called \u201cContrology\u201d in the coming days so be sure to come back.",

Agri-food exporters struggle with strict tolerance limits in Europe and labelling requirements in Arab States. Rules of origin and certification stand out as challenges for manufacturing exporters; administrative and infrastructural challenges increase compliance difficulties. For importers, conformity assessments, charges and taxes top the list of challenges. The results underline the need to better implement existing trade agreements for competitiveness and regional integration.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Investing \u00bb Easy Tips for Reading Financials: Introduction\nWhen you are looking to invest, reading financials of a company gives you the blueprint. They can tell you what you need to know to make a solid investment decision.\nHowever, it can be tricky to figure these reports out. Here is a guide to help you as you begin to look over financial statements.\nTo begin with, you need to know some basic information. The financial reports you will be looking at include the annual report, financial statements, and the 10K.\nThe annual report usually includes a letter from the CEO that goes over many aspects of the business, including competition, industry outlook, and explanations of the financial figures found in the financial statements. The 10K is a required form that must be filed, and it explains the finances of the company more in-depth than the annual report. It contains a lot of information that is helpful to an investor.\nYou\u2019ll have four financial documents to look at when you\u2019re reading financials of a company. These financial statements are the balance sheet, statement of shareholders\u2019 equity, cash flow statement, and income statement.\nThe balance sheet will outline the companies assets and debts for a specific period.\nThe statement of shareholders\u2019 equity shows the shareholders\u2019 interest in the company.\nThe cash flow statement shows money paid out and received by the company.\nThe income statement shows the flow of income in and out of the company.\nReviewing and Reading Financials\nAs you begin reviewing your documentation, keep in mind that you don\u2019t need a master\u2019s degree, like the one from MVU Online, to get through these. As you gain more experience, you\u2019ll find the process to be very enlightening.\ni. The Annual Report\nYou probably will want to start with the annual report. This will be the easiest to read. Its language won\u2019t be as formal or complex as what you\u2019ll find in the 10K. While it doesn\u2019t offer as much information as the 10K or financial statements, it can still give you insight into how the company is doing, including how the CEO is running the company.\nii. The 10K Filing\nOnce you have read the annual report and have a good overview, you can read over the 10K. This contains a lot of information, so be sure to read it all. Make notes of anything that stands out to you so you can check into these things later.\nAlso, pay attention to any lawsuits that the business may be currently involved in and the obstacles or issues the company is dealing with or expects to deal with. All of these things can help you to develop a good idea of what the future looks like for the company.\nFinally, you want to review each of the financial statements. These are really where you get the best look at the financial state of the company. As explained by NEC , they are the tenets of financial reporting.\nRead through them carefully, highlighting anything that concerns you or makes you happy. Make notes if you are unsure or questioning something. You can often find explanations in the annual report or 10K for anything unusual you may find.\nAfter you have finished reading financials for your target, you should be ready to make a decision about investing. Remember that you are looking for a solid company with good growth potential. By reading the reports, you are best able to make an informed decision.\n\u2190 Trash Compactor Tips: How to Buy a Compactor or Baler for Your Small Business Buzz: Website Grader \u2013 Grade your website and evaluate your SEO! \u2192",

Yet, I hear the voice of the Master saying \"Andy, you know not what you ask for.\"\nI'm also saddened by the fact that a young man is being remanded into custody and is starring down the barrel of a multi-year prison term in a Commonwealth that abolished parole. Though it was a \"fair cop\" and the young man has owned up to the offense, he will still step into an institution that either serves as a grad school for criminals, or a press that crushes men hoping to work out their debt to society.\nIn these sad scenes, the old Deacon (and the gentle readers) need to be reminded that regardless of the situation, the Grace of the Almighty is sufficient. The Grace, Mercy and Peace extended from on high is more than enough to daub the tears of Jos's survivors, and the family of that young man.\nMy prayers are lifted up for both circumstances; Intercessory prayers for family and survivors, and imprecatory prayers against those who struck the apple of the Lord's eye in Jos.\npray for them....love them.....and give it to God. do you think they died without Gods knowledge...or that God turned away just when they were to be killed?\ntheir reward is far greater for dying in Gods name...i only pray i can do that if i am called to. to live is Christ...but to die IS GAIN...and oh! what gain!...no more hurt, pain, tears, loneliness, sorrows....for they are in Jesus' arms..literally!\nthis earth is not our home...for we have a greater place...one with Jesus our Lord in our midst...and the Spirit of Almighty God...Creator of heaven and earth there with us. oh how great the gain!!!...this world is and was not our home....but our home is where their hearts are...and where ours are as well.\nrejoice!!!! they have fought the good fight!!!!

        "raw_content": "PLAN WOULD LINK CITY'S TRAILS\nThe next time you need to check out a video or price building supplies, try this experiment: Without using a vehicle, make your way to the super-complex of stores near the U.S. 63-Interstate 70 junction.\nOn second thought, take your car, if you have one.\n\"It couldn't be more hostile for pedestrians and bicycles and people in wheelchairs,\" said Chip Cooper of Columbia's Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission. \"You take your life in your hands to cross the 63 bridge.\"\nOther examples not to try at home include navigating car-less to Columbia Mall or to the Forum and Rock Bridge shopping centers.\nSuch commercial complexes are \"very uninviting as far as pedestrians and bicycles are concerned,\" Mayor Darwin Hindman said. \"You can get there, but it's such a challenge. We need to analyze intersections and streets to make sure they're bike-friendly.\"\nColumbia may have a bucketful of livability awards, but it's also dealing with rapid growth and questions of just how walkable, bikeable and wheelchair-accessible the city is. A proposed new land-use plan for the expanding metro area, Metro 2020, is the next opportunity to answer those questions.\nTrue to its name, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Commission is putting forward walking- and bike-friendly suggestions for inclusion in the plan. The commission's \"Pednet\" idea combines more inviting streets and sidewalks for human-powered travel, improved public transit and a beefed-up greenbelt trail system. The Pednet would allow people to move around conveniently, and reduce traffic congestion and the need for expensive street upgrades, Cooper said.\nAt least one member of the Columbia City Council agrees. Second Ward Councilman Chris Janku said it's time to integrate the pedestrian and bicycle plan into the overall transportation plan. The City Council will take the Metro 2020 baton after the Planning and Zoning Commission passes on its revisions and holds another public hearing on the plan tonight.\nJanku said Business Loop 70 and I-70 form a barrier that non-motorized travelers need to be able to cross safely. Both Janku and Hindman also say wider sidewalks are needed.\n\"The five-foot sidewalk has proven to be good,\" Hindman said. \"It works for wheelchairs, and people can walk side-by-side comfortably.\"\nBike racks mounted on city buses are another strategy that makes it more practical for people to leave their cars in the garage.\n\"If you ride your bike to work, or walk, and there's a thunderstorm, you can catch the bus home and throw your bike on it,\" Cooper said.\nThe City Council has already funded four racks. Two are scheduled to be installed on the fronts of existing buses this month, said Ken Koopmans, transportation manager at the Department of Public Works.\nNext May, two new buses for the city will debut with bike racks installed.\nStreets and sidewalks are not the only way for Columbians to get from point A to point B. Add in trails along local creeks and other greenways, and Pednet starts to look like a wheel with spokes. The Bear Creek trail between Cosmo and Albert-Oakland parks is already under construction, using mainly federal funds. A companion trail project to the south along Hinkson Creek is also planned. There are still gaps in the east, west and center, however. The Perche Creek floodplain is Pednet's choice for a western trail.\nOne spoke of the wheel already in place is the MKT trail. Despite resistance when it was planned, the MKT is now one of the most used and appreciated recreational opportunities in Columbia, Hindman said. Lorah Steiner, director of the Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the MKT and Katy trails drew 1,180 inquiries from around the country after the bureau placed advertisements.\n\"Most Columbians are not aware of the national and international interest in hiking and biking trails,\" Steiner said. \"It's one of the few things we have that gives us an identification outside the state. It's a very nice image: It's outdoors, it's healthy, it's scenic.\"\nAn expanded trail system for commuting and recreation could be Columbia's crown jewel, said Cooper.\n\"We have a tremendous opportunity to distinguish Columbia from almost every other town,\" Cooper said. \"We could finish these trails at very low cost.\"",

        "raw_content": "Variations Unlimited Sequence\nVariations of Unlimited Sequence is an examination of how patterns of perception and recognition are developed and supported in our world of fabricated structures and schedules. Considering these built constructs are repeated manifestations of essentially the same simple elements, we can draw a conclusion that our response to place is a response to patterns. The more similar the structures, the more it enforces our reaction, conscious or unconscious, and informs our definition of a particular place. My hypothesis is that each one of us has an inherent influence on these structures and environments in reverse. How we influence the world of patterns around us may be just as important as its influence on us.\nInvisible Cities, a work of fiction by Italo Calvino, informed much of the work in this exhibition. In the book, Calvino takes poetic license to describe a visitor\u2019s perceptive experience while traveling in unknown cities. Though many of the descriptions are impractical, improbable, and impossible, they depict places with atmosphere, attitudes and activity, each with a specific theme and distinct pattern. The visitor seems to have superior knowledge about each city and is able to explain the inhabitants\u2019 behaviors as well as the purpose for each place. Each city contains all the same elements - dweller, habitats, and activities - but each one is unique in its set of patterns, which makes it distinct, impressionable, and categorical.\nThe patterns represented in Calvino\u2019s book are merely a surface examination of a fictitious world. Through their descriptions, he points out human tendencies, escalating them until they define a specific city. These patterns, whether absurd or mundane, are the separating factor between place, giving each one a unique identity and a guidebook for understandable navigation. It points to the world outside of fiction as well, lending us the idea that our perceived patterns may be directing our interaction with real world structures.\nIf the communities in Calvino\u2019s book depicted our non-fiction world, then our responses to established constructs, even a mundane and insignificant place, could influence its future. This influence could rearrange the patterns of these constructs and thereby alter our patterns of behavior in response, indicating a permanently shifting symbiotic relationship.",

        "raw_content": "The point was to illustrate that wealth inequality is a relevant metric. Everyone\u2019s share of the proverbial pie is highly relevant when it comes to evaluating how wealth is distributed in a society. When wealth is so disproportionately concentrated at one end of the economic spectrum, as it is now in this country, then the scales ought to be tipped in some measure in the other direction.\nhttps://youtu.be/MRpEV2tmYz4\nI'm not advocating for eliminating all inequality. I'm not saying we should send goons to Pete's house to beat him up and take his proverbial slices of pizza. I'm saying that extreme inequality -- such as what we are historically seeing now -- is a harmful condition, and we should consider policies which tend to ameliorate the extreme imbalance. Whether it's a wealth tax, higher capital gains taxes, reduced spending, or other mechanisms, is open for discussion.\nhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.3b8a7db46bf8\nhttp://www.faireconomy.org/why_is_income_inequality_bad\nDoesn't reducing unemployment, increasing the workforce, creating more jobs, etc. do just that?\n...you started off saying \"wealth inequality\" then this post just talks about \"inequality\" and then you linked to references if \"income inequality\" twice.\nPete (has zero problems with income inequality, and thinks that's natural and proper in a functional society)\nUnemployment rate is 4% so I don't think it's that.\nMore to the point...without employing goons, how do you propose to get my pizza?\nPete (supposes for the moment that he's not feeling particularly charitable)\nThe government enforces tax laws just like it enforces criminal laws, civil laws, private contracts, health codes, zoning regulations, and plenty more. The power to tax is in the Constitution. How is this even a question?\nWhen we have a near 100-year high in income inequality, I think it's time to start pushing the line in the other direction.\nskooly (will take a stab at your other questions later)\nCorrect. By goon squad.\nPete (is just calling it like it is)\nThe goon squad isn't necessarily bad...\nDo I want a goon squad to stop people from murdering people? You bet I do.\nDo I want a goon squad to stop people from stealing from my and my neighbors? Yep.\nDo I want a goon squad to stop people from poisoning my rivers and air? Totally.\nDo I want a goon squad to stop invading armies from blowing up my city? For sure.\nBut don't forget there is a goon squad!\nSo do I want a goon squad to forcibly stop poor people from coming to the United States? Um. Maybe not...\nDo I want the goon squad to forcibly take money from rich people and distribute it to others. That doesn't sound so great...\nDo I want the goon squad to forcibly make people to buy health insurance? That kinda doesn't sound like a \"goon squad\" sort of activity.\nA lot of things that sound like good ideas are really bad ideas when you look at them as enforcement actions. So you want some of my pizza...fine...but unless you're going to beat me up to get it, don't talk about laws, because the laws are backed up by goon squads.\nPete (doesn't live in the land of unicorns and leprechauns where government action happens without force)\nAll I ask is that whenever you think to yourself, \"Hey, wouldn't it be great if we forced people to do X?\" you also ask yourself, \"Am I really willing to have government goons force people to do X?\"\nPete (thinks a lot of Xes become rather unattractive in that context)",

        "title": "Knifed in Venice: The Dark Knight Rises",
        "raw_content": "Starring: Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman\nGenre: Comic book, Action, Thriller\nEight years have passed since the events of The Dark Knight and the faithful night in which Batman shouldered the sins of Two Face. Wayne Manor has been restored. The Bat-Man silent. Gotham is a city at peace, but all good things must come to an end. When a CIA extradition goes wrong a new form of terrorism is released upon the streets of America\u2019s greatest city and the Dark Knight must rise to protect her citizens.\nIn the years since Heath Ledger\u2019s death Christopher Nolan has had plenty of time to remodel and reshape the vision that is his conclusion of a dark yet beautiful trilogy. Bruce Wayne (Bale) is unlike any Bruce Wayne we have been treated to before, the repercussions of his one man crusader laid bare on his person. A broken, ailing shadow of a self once so spritely and determined. The arrival of Bane (Hardy) and the single greatest act of terrorism on U.S soil (now iconic amongst Batman fans) has called upon a now reluctant hero. As always Nolan crafts a narrative and a Gotham of realism, the story takes it\u2019s time, successes and failures (with regards to character arches) are earned and all the more appreciated for it. The tale laid out is one of consequence and redemption and where Batman Begins had spades of originality, The Dark Knight an anarchic almost biblical clash of will, The Dark Knight Rises is filled with heart. Bane\u2019s strategic is one of crushing the spirit of the enemy, giving them enough hope that when you take it away it destroys them. Gotham still has believers in Batman, men like Jim Gordon (Oldman) and newcomer John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who believe in the Dark Knight and have the heart and will to take a stand to be counted. It\u2019s also a film for the fans, those of us who suffered through the bleak and mishandled days, those of us who have never had it so good than when Nolan was behind the lens. In many ways the heart of the film is for us.\nBale showcases something else here. Begins saw his evolution, Knight found him hitting his stride but Rises is a human story about the human cost of a stand against the mob. Bale carries that burden incredibly well, there are moments that\u2019ll remind audiences of the frailty of The Machinist or Rescue Dawn that he does so well, better than anyone. The strain of a life behind the cowl is etched across his face. It\u2019s a truly remarkable and subtle performance that most people will not appreciate, as it typically doesn\u2019t belong to a \u201cSuperhero\u201d film \u2013 this is more. Tom Hardy (as Bane) is fantastic, he\u2019s always fantastic! You will never see the same Tom Hardy twice, the man is an exceptionally gifted and creative actor. I truly think he\u2019s one of the most amazing talents out there. His physical presence is undeniable, his screen presence irresistible and yet he\u2019s able to humanise Bane in a way unthinkable. It\u2019ll go unmentioned and most likely overlooked but he\u2019s so expressive, even when two thirds of his face is covered he gives so much. The only issue was one of audibility as sometimes it\u2019s difficult to make out what\u2019s been said and you end up piecing it together from the parts you managed to make out. Anne Hathaway was extremely impressive. Her career to date hasn\u2019t showcased what she\u2019s got in her and she\u2019s most likely underrated because she is incredibly attractive. The previous Batman films have shown there is no room for people who can\u2019t pull their weight. Hathaway can not only throw a punch, a kick and is extremely agile in the ways you would expect but she holds more than her own when on screen with the two British heavyweights that are Bale and Hardy, which is pretty much most of her screen time. Though she\u2019s not my favourite Catwoman she does an damn good job. There\u2019s degrees of succession in The Dark Knight Rises as Nolan readies himself to hand over the baton so does his characters which brings us nicely to Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Detective John Blake). Levitt has been growing as an actor for years, performances in (500) Days of Summer, Inception and Elektra Luxx have shown that he\u2019s developed all the skills of a remarkable performer. His scenes alongside Gary Oldman, mentor and pupil demonstrate that he has truly arrived. It\u2019s easy to understand why Nolan kept him in mind post dreamscape.\nThere's a special part of the overall package of Nolan\u2019s trilogy, a central chord that runs invisibly through all the films giving them a sense of relation, causality and unity and that\u2019s the tireless, brilliant and suitably heroically unfading work of Hans Zimmer. What he does best, what he does brilliantly is building. There are trilogies that are trilogies for no other reason than because there\u2019s three of them. They operate as stand alone films and bare no relation to one another. Nolan\u2019s Batman trilogy is closer to that of The Lord of the Rings than it is to (what will be the) Iron Man trilogy. The three films are greater together, stronger together, better together. They are three instalments of the one tale and Zimmer\u2019s work pulls them together where production and distribution time has separated them. It is beyond words how great his scoring is, it pulls together all characters, emotions and themes and drives home Nolan\u2019s grand vision for the Caped Crusader.\nSome people are already taking exception to the film, they\u2019ve taken issue with the scale of events, wanting something more akin to The Dark Knight\u2026but there already is a film that\u2019s a lot like The Dark Knight it\u2019s called The Dark Knight. Since Joker took Gotham by storm we\u2019ve seen four Marvel superheroes leading up to a fifth, The Avengers, and though they are all enjoyable in their own way (I\u2019ve made no secret of my love of the work of Joss Whedon) - they are superheroes without consequence. Scratch the surface and there\u2019s no lasting effects for the deeds they have done. What Nolan delivers is a Batman that has had to deal with the ramifications of his life, a real man behind a created persona. Yes it was different to The Dark Knight because it\u2019s rather pointless to remake a film that was out four years ago. If you want to watch that film again then go watch it. There are some issues with The Dark Knight Rises. The presence of Catwoman, though extremely enjoyable seemed to have little to do (in her own right) and fell pray to the dreaded expositionalogue [sic]. The audibility of Bane, I\u2019ve already covered but because Hardy is so brilliant it\u2019s only a slight issue but some of the Bat versus Bane sequences could have been faster. These are two men incredibility skilled in close quarters combat yet so much of the fighting is slow hand and easily telegraphed as they go around the houses before hitting their mark. Think The Bourne Supremacy and the Berlin kitchen sequence and you\u2019ll know what I mean. There was also several moments that could be well called before they came to pass, uncharacteristic for Nolan\u2019s Batman but when you consider he has a lot of closure to deliver before checking out at Gotham airport it\u2019s understandable - though it did slow the pace of the film in parts.\nThe Dark Knight Rises brings to an end to the most prosperous period fans of Batman have ever had thanks to a modern day Auteur. What Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan, David S. Goyer, Hans Zimmer, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and co have created is a superhero to believe in, a complex and real man in a complex and real city for a complex and real time. A man that is heroic because he steps up to be counted knowing the consequences and the burden it will place on him, he does it anyway \u2013 that\u2019s what makes him the hero. An extremely powerful and emotionally moving conclusion to an amazing era.\nTo quote Jim Gordon \u201cI\u2019ve never said, Thank you\u201d so thank you all.\nLabels: 4 star, Batman, Christian Bale, Comic Book, DC, Film, Review, Superheroes\nI'm sad to see it end. Haven't seen the movie yet, but i totally agree with you on the bit about \"superheroes without consequence\". The Dark Knight rose above this and showed a story that goes beyond the screen and the comics. From your review and some friend's opinions, I'm guessing this movie managed the same feat. I wonder when will there be another masterpiece that will join the two medias so well.\nYeah it was sad to see the end of an era too. Hope you've had a chance to see it and navigated the many spoiler loaded reviews out there. Genuinely I don't know when there'll be an adaptation with such medium balance. Was great to see though.",

        "raw_content": "Konstantin Vassiliev was born in Siberia (Russia). He studied at the Academy of Music in Novosibirsk Guitar by Arkadiy Bourchanov and composition by Sergey Tossin. In 1995 he began postgraduate studies at the Academy of Music in Muenster, with Professor Reinbert Evers and Dr. Georg Hajdu.\nAs a composer he obtained the following awards:\n1st prize at the 2nd composition competition \"Fidelio\" (Spain, 2017) with the work \"Cavatina\"\n1st prize at the composition competition Nordhorn (Germany, 2017) with the work \"Wanderer in Time\"\n1st and 2nd prizes at the 3rd composition competition \"Fidelio\" (Spain, 2017) with the works \"Mogiana\" and \"Dance of the Forest Ghosts\"\n1st prize at the 6th Acerra Composition Competition (Italy, 2017) with the work \"El faro m\u00e1gico\"\n1st prize at the 4th composition competition \"Fidelio\" (Spain, 2018) with the work \"Allegro impetuoso\"\n1st prize at the 4th GCC composition competition (China, 2018) with the work \"The Legend of Syrinx\"\n2nd prize at the composition competition Rust (Austria, 2018) with the work \"Wavejumper\"\n3rd prize at the composition competition \"Open Strings\" (Germany, 1999) with the work \"Reminiscence\"\nVassiliev composed chamber music for various types of ensemble, but his work remained focused, however, on his main instrument, the guitar. His numerous compositions and arrangements have been published in Europe, as well as in Japan, Canada and the USA. His music sounds experimental and innovative, but it is also stamped by tradition, above all that of the classical Russian school. His musical style distinguishes itself by its diversity: from romantic melancholy through impressionistic fantasies and mysticism, right up to contemporary expressiveness.\nFor many years the composer worked together with famous performers. His music found a firm place in the repertoire of Shin-Ichi Fukuda, Carlos Bonell, Roman Viazovskiy, Carlo Marchione, Thomas M\u00fcller-Pering, Dimitri Illarionov, Matt Palmer, Maximilian Mangold, Sanel Red\u017ei\u0107, Irina Kulikova, Ruben Bettencourt, Yuri Liberzon and other highly regarded musicians. As well as this, many promising young musicians taking part in the \"Young Musicians\u201c programme owe their initial successes to Vassiliev's music.\nAs a guitarist he successfully appeared with singer G\u00fcnter Gall in a German nationwide literary programme. In addition, Konstantin Vassiliev is also active as a teacher and writes teaching literature and textbooks for young musicians.",

        "raw_content": "Art Workshops in the South of France\n... Be sure to read about the La Cascade !!\nLa Cascade is the name of a renovated 17th century house in the South of France, in the medieval village of Durfort. The name La Cascade suits the house well because it sits on the bank of a mountain stream whose waterfall fills the house with its music. There's a terrace overlooking the stream where we eat by candlelight under the stars. It is a large three-story house that sleeps twelve people, has a large living room with a fireplace, a dining room with French doors onto the terrace and a large art studio on the top floor complete with ancient beams and skylights. The house has modern bathrooms and a spacious gourmet kitchen and every room is decorated with paintings by Suzanne L\u2019Hoste, Carole Watanabe and other artists, not to mention treasures found in local antique shops and flea markets.\nDurfort is an artisan village located at the foot of a mountain gorge where a plentiful supply of fresh water from the Sor River has assisted craftsmen in the shaping and tempering of copper vessels for centuries. In fact, many of the streets in the village have a channel of fresh water running down the center. La Cascade is located on such a street, at 27 rue des Martineurs, \u201cstreet of the Copper Beaters.\u201d\nThere are several shops in town that sell everything from bed warmers to cookware made of copper. Les Montagnes Noir which rise dramatically above Durfort, offer miles of hiking trails. One can start from the front door of La Cascade and hike for days. Golden fields of sunflowers take over where the forested slopes end, a pastoral contrast to the rugged beauty of the gorge.\nThere are many nearby points of interest. Soreze, with its art scene, is just a 25 minute walk over the hill. There are many more beautiful villages within easy driving distance, some of which are listed by the French government as Les Plus Beaux Villages de France. Carcassonne is only 45 minutes away and Albi, with its great cathedral and the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, a little over an hour's drive.\nThere's a large swimming lake, Bassin de Saint-Ferr\u00e9ol, about 15 minutes drive up the mountain and, if you continue through the mountains on the road to Carcassonne, you will pass through ancient stone villages that were Cathar strongholds in the 12th century. One such town, Montolieu, has revitalized its economy by becoming the \u201cbook village,\u201d a paradise for people who collect old images, antique books or materials for collage, and just outside of the village there's a studio for making fine hand crafted paper and books that also has a collection of art books for sale.\nThe graceful old city of Toulouse, an hour and a quarter away, has much to offer - from fine domestic and civic architecture to wonderful restaurants and a good art supply store. There you can also take a boat trip down the Garonne River or through the Canal du Midi.\nLa Cascade is in the region of France known as Languedoc, which in an ancient French dialect means \"The Land of Yes.\" Follow the ongoing story of La Cascade through our blog and photo log and some day soon you may be able to say yes to participation in one of our wonderful classes, to manifest your dream to come to France on a creative adventure, to say yes to fraternity through individual artistry.",

If not, you are missing out on some fun times.\nWith that being the case, whether you have fun stuff to do right near home or have to travel a bit, don\u2019t sit at home on the couch. If you do, you will wonder about all the fun things you could be doing.\nSo, are you ready to get outside and enjoy all there is to offer?\nPutting Your Plans in Place\nIn deciding what to do when you head outside, keep these ideas in mind:\nGoing for a walk \u2013 Can it get much simpler than a good walk? Not only do you get to take in the different scenery around you, but you are also doing your body good in the process. Even a 30-minute walk can help clear your mind and do wonders for your body. If there is nothing immediate in your area that appeals to you for a walk, hop in the car and go to a local park or nature trail. The main thing is that you get outside and enjoy the time.\nGoing to a baseball game \u2013 What can be more fun than a day at the ballpark with family or friends? For many baseball fans, traveling to different parks over time is on their bucket list. Whether you decide to hit many ballparks or stick to one or only a few, take in the fun. From cheering on your team to getting lost in conversation with others, you will hit a home run with this call.\nGoing out on the ocean \u2013 Have you ever gone whale watching before? If not, this can prove to be an exhilarating experience. Seeing these large mammals only feet away will be something you will not forget anytime soon. Before heading out on the boat, do some research on whales. Get to learn how they migrate up and down the California coast. Before you know it, you will be an expert on these amazing creatures and others they share the ocean with.\nGoing for a drive \u2013 While you may spend a lot of time in the vehicle during the week, take a fun drive for a change. Hopping in the car on a weekend day and getting out on the roads can be a nice change of pace. If you live along a coast, think about driving close to the ocean so you can take in some of the scenery. In the event the mountains are nearby, a trip there can be quite relaxing too.\nGoing to see some history \u2013 No matter where you live, there is some history to catch up on. With that in mind, do some research and then head out. Whether you live in your home for a short time or many years, it is good to know what is around you. You might find surprise to know how old your neighborhood is.\nAs you look for some fun outdoor activities to partake in, start making your plans today.\nCalifornia Dolphins Whales\nSafety Issues Related to Combi Boiler Use You Need to Know\nMotorcycle Safety and Storage Tips",

        "raw_content": "I just watched the last 15 minutes of Midnight Cowboy, a movie I have admired for decades and seen a half-dozen times, but which brings me pain each time I watch it. It\u2019s one of those films that I cannot turn away from if I happen to run across it while changing channels, so powerful are the performances and so unflinching is the focus on captivating yet repellent characters.\nDustin Hoffman and Jon Voight are natural, believable and awkwardly honest in their roles (which are among the finest performances of their careers); John Schlesinger\u2018s direction is unflinching and powerful. Schlesinger was unwilling to turn away from the sorts of intimate, painful moments that other directors tend to cut away from in order to soothe audiences and tie up loose ends. He avoided palliative measures, trusting his audiences to handle the pain and unfairness at the heart of his characters\u2019 worlds and sit with their devastation and disappointment even as the final credits rolled by.\nThe film begins with what sounds superficially like an upbeat tune with an ambling gait, the song \u201cEverybody\u2019s Talkin\u2018\u201d sung by Harry Nilsson. The song, which won a Grammy and was a million-selling single in 1969, is deceptive; listen to the lyrics and you\u2019ll see it\u2019s about an overwhelmed man who can\u2019t handle or comprehend the needs and conversations of the people around him and longs to move far away to a place without cares, \u201csomewhere where the weather suits my clothes.\u201d He sings:\nPeople stopping, staring\nIt\u2019s easy for the casual listener to notice only the upbeat qualities of the song and the positive fantasies of the young man as he imagines himself moving lightly through the better life that awaits him:\nBanking off of the northeast winds\nThe song suits the story of handsome but none-too-bright young Texan Joe Buck (played by Jon Voight) who leaves Texas in a hurry and moves to New York convinced that he\u2019ll be a big success as a gigolo wearing his cowboy hat, boots and pretty-boy grin, and as he walks around Times Square in his fringed leather jacket he seems to be just a sweet, overgrown, oversexed kid. And he is, at first. Full of hope and confidence but leaving a disturbing and misunderstood past, he soon becomes overwhelmed like the man in the song. He longs to escape his life, first running to New York, then to Florida with his friend Rico (played by Dustin Hoffman). But in this story, there is no easy, rambling way through life or around trouble, and there\u2019s no way for Joe to stop the cascade of horrible lessons that come with being too trusting, hopeful and needy while living among broken, wary people.\nMidnight Cowboy is an exceptional film which captures the disturbing power of the fine novel by Leo James Herlihy upon which it\u2019s based. Indeed, the movie, the only X-rated Best Picture Oscar winner ever, was a huge critical success despite its reputation for grim, mature subject matter, and it won Oscars for best picture and best direction. While the story is gritty, it isn\u2019t by any means pornographic; the X rating was misleading. But the story is adult in nature, ultimately cynical, tragic and hopeless. The main characters are hustlers, professional liars at the bottom of society who are not very bright and are willing to take advantage of people in pain. Yet the story is told in such a way that, although we cringe when the principal characters harm themselves and others, we cannot help but feel our own hearts break as we watch their hopes go down in flames.\nSo why do I come back to this film, and why do I love other devastating Schlesinger films about unrequited love and loss (like his beautiful, faithful adaptation of Thomas Hardy\u2019s Far from the Madding Crowd and the 1971 drama Sunday Bloody Sunday with its exquisite performances by Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson) and of moral decay (like Marathon Man) so much? I suppose it\u2019s because Schlesinger was a masterful storyteller who managed to focus on difficult, broken and fearful people, people on the edges of society, people who are willing to live in shadows. He let us watch them lash out at others in desperation, flail and grasp for meaningful connection with other people, and then have to live with their losses and failures. There are few redemptions in Schlesinger\u2019s stories, but there is great humanity. Schlesinger helped viewers get under the skin of his characters and understand their pain without whitewashing their behaviors or putting them on pedestals. He loved flawed people and stories full of heartache, and he made a career of getting the intelligentsia to peer more closely at and care for stories about the very people those same people might cross the street to avoid in their daily lives.\nSchlesinger, who was gay, incorporated homosexual themes into several of his films and teleplays, sometimes portraying gay men as self-loathing (as he did in a disturbing scene in Midnight Cowboy) but also including one of the first depictions of a successful, honorable, well-adjusted professional homosexual man in modern cinema (in Sunday Bloody Sunday). He treated his characters\u2019 sexuality with the same straightforwardness he showed toward their other characteristics; it was simply another facet of their lives. This matter-of-factness, which made Sunday Bloody Sunday particularly advanced for its time, was part of a wave of naturalism in film also seen in the work of other important directors of the late sixties and seventies such as Martin Scorsese, Mike Nichols, Robert Altman, Francis Ford Coppola, Sidney Lumet and Peter Bogdanovich.\nIt may seem odd that some human beings (like me) seek out stories of loss, failure and emotional pain like this one both as forms of entertainment and as cathartic experiences. Such films shine a light on the human condition and help viewers like me to understand and empathize with the misbegotten and seemingly cursed people of the world in a way that feels especially visceral and real. Films like Schlesinger\u2019s are, however, at enough of a remove that film lovers who appreciate a good dose of angst with their drama can feel safe sidling up to the misfits, losers and dangerous people who inhabit the underworld that Schlesinger created. There\u2019s a voyeuristic thrill at getting so close to the people and emotions that scare or excite us, followed by a shock when we realize how close they are to ourselves.\n1960s1970sBest Picture OscarDustin HoffmanFar from the Madding CrowdFilmGay FilmJohn SchlesingerJohn VoightLeo James HerlihyMidnight CowboyOscar WinnersSunday Bloody Sunday\nA Very Big Adventure\nNearly thirty years ago Tim Burton directed his first full-length film and began his long association with composer Danny Elfman, who up till that point was best known as the frontman for the fabulous New Wave band Oingo Boingo. The 1985 film was the cult favorite Pee-wee\u2019s Big Adventure, which was based on the character Pee-wee Herman created and portrayed by Paul Reubens. Reubens had been doing live stage shows based around the character since 1980. The film is a visual and auditory delight, full of supersaturated color, whimsy and wonder and set to Elfman\u2019s terrific score. This Rube Goldberg-machine-like sequence featuring a rousing tune by Elfman is particularly memorable.\nThe film proved so popular that CBS approached Reubens to reprise the character in a television show, Pee-wee\u2019s Playhouse. While it was created to engage and entertain children, it had a large adult fan base as well, and the show ran for five years. The opening theme to that show was written by Mark Mothersbaugh, frontman for the group Devo, and was sung by Cyndi Lauper.\nChildren's TelevisionCyndi LauperDanny ElfmanDevoFilmMark MothersbaughNew WaveOingo BoingoPaul ReubensPee-wee HermanPee-wee's PlayhouseRube GoldbergTelevisionTim Burton\nFilm & Television, History, Politics & Current Affairs\nIn 1978, San Francisco mayor George Moscone and San Francisco\u2019s first openly gay city supervisor, Harvey Milk, were assassinated by Dan White, another San Francisco supervisor. Dianne Feinstein, now a U.S. Senator from California, was president of the board of supervisors; she witnessed the aftermath and announced the tragedy to the press, and rose to the position of mayor of San Francisco as a result of the assassination.\nI remember the time vividly. When I was a young girl, I had met George Moscone, then a California state senator, at a Democratic party rally I attended with my mother, and I was starstruck to meet someone whose face I had seen smiling on our television during nightly newscasts. Beyond the fact of his familiarity was his personal charm; Moscone was energetic, charismatic and bigger than life. The assassination was shocking, happening as it did at the hands of a coworker of both of the victims, an attractive and clean-cut fellow whose blind rage inspired a dramatic and highly publicized trial in which killer Dan White was convicted of manslaughter, the lightest possible charge against him, based in part on the fact that his attorneys said he\u2019d gone temporarily mad because of the large quantity of junk food he\u2019d consumed prior to the crimes. This \u201cTwinkie defense\u201d outraged people across the country and inspired a change to California criminal law.\nThe murder also inspired the creation of an odd and controversial work of art by one of my favorite Bay Area artists, sculptor Robert Arneson (who received his Master of Fine Arts degree from my alma mater, Mills College). In 1980 Arneson was commissioned to create a work to memorialize Moscone in San Francisco\u2019s new Moscone Convention Center. It is a mystery to me why the Arts Commission would ask a sculptor as famously irreverent and outrageous as Arneson, who had made a name for himself sculpting wild and ridiculous ceramic self-portraits, to commemorate someone who was best remembered for the brutal and horrible circumstances of his death. The bust of Moscone was done in Arneson\u2019s usual style, which is to say it was bold, disturbing and unflattering, and, most shocking of all, it was placed on a large pedestal which commemorated the circumstances of Moscone\u2019s murder. Arneson was asked to change the work and refused, nor would he consent to have the sculpture displayed with the pedestal art hidden. He returned the commission he had been paid for the piece and resold the sculpture. It is powerful and arresting, singularly disturbing and unlike any official commemorative sculpture I have ever seen.\nAt the time of the murders, the greatest attention was given to the killing of the mayor; I was aware that another supervisor who was openly gay had also been murdered, but in the general news of the time my memory is that most Bay Area news media treated that as a decidedly secondary part of the story. Since then, however, little has been said or written about George Moscone that most people, even in the Bay Area, would know much about; few would remember much about him beyond his having been murdered and having had a San Francisco convention center named for him, while Harvey Milk has inspired a very successful, Academy Award\u2013winning documentary, \u201cThe Times of Harvey Milk\u201d and is the subject of \u201cMilk,\u201d a moving and important biopic by director Gus Van Sant starring Sean Penn as gay rights pioneer and civic reformer Harvey Milk, which won Penn his second Academy Award for the Best Performance by An Actor in a Leading Role. What makes Milk worth such attention and even adulation is of course not the nature of his death but the powerful story of his life and what he did with it during his 48 short years.\nThe quality of biographical films is often limited by the fact that they are usually conceived of as propaganda of some sort and are meant to elicit certain strong feelings from the audience. Biopics like \u201cRay\u201d or the disappointingly inaccurate film \u201cA Beautiful Mind\u201d are crafted to make heroes of those they lionize and as a result their realism and subtlety are compromised and the truth is often completely distorted. The best among them may feel stilted or fake at times but may still provide opportunities for actors to make a deep impact on us by presenting audience-manipulating lines of emotionally fraught dialog and fake scenarios built on half-truths with a candor, vulnerability and freshness that transcends the stale, set-up quality of the stories that comprise the film. \u201cMilk\u201d is one of the better biopics, but it still suffers from a prefabricated, lionizing, misty-eyed mindset. However, Sean Penn\u2019s performance as Milk is so heartbreakingly lovely, naturalistic and moving that I can highly recommend the film despite the weaknesses in the script and direction. It is worth seeing in order to learn the remarkable story of the man, who was so incredibly brave, and to see how, in the hands of a truly masterful actor, even a flawed script can be burnished until it breathes and glows.\nHarvey Milk spent only a few short years in San Francisco, but during that time he proved himself to be a masterful manipulator of the media and an inspirational force against anti-gay bigotry. A remarkably effective community organizer, he helped the budding gay rights movement to solidify and strengthen not only in San Francisco but throughout California, which galvanized gay activists across the country and coaxed gay and lesbian people nationwide to come out, stand up for their civil rights and prove to the world in general, to people both gay and straight, that honest, openly gay people could live fulfilling, successful lives. Milk said, \u201cIf a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet also destroy every closet door in the country.\u201d As a tireless, charming and articulate man with an understanding of the concerns and needs of the more conservative elements of society (he had, after all, been a closeted insurance salesman and upstanding member of the establishment for many years in New York), he was particularly well-suited to the role of cross-over politician, making friends among Teamsters and drag queens alike.\nWhile the documentary \u201cThe Times of Harvey Milk\u201d is perhaps the better picture in showing a more accurate portrayal of the man, \u201cMilk\u201d will be seen by many more people and will leave a vivid impression on the world in a way that a carefully made but less popular documentary could never do, and for this I\u2019m grateful to Gus Van Sant and Sean Penn for giving life to such an important figure in the history of civil rights in the United States.\nSean Penn (right) at San Francisco City Hall in a scene from \u201cMilk\u201d\nThroughout \u201cMilk\u201d are many scenes of the beautiful San Francisco City Hall, the gorgeous beaux-arts building that is an elegant centerpiece and a virtual wedding cake of a civic building, but also the scene of the horrific murders of Moscone and Milk. I was married in San Francisco City Hall in 1990 (as Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio were in 1954\u2014I figured if it was glamorous and gorgeous enough for them, it was good enough for me), and several of my favorite photos from my wedding day were taken on the same steps and in front of the same doors that appear repeatedly in the film. I was married on the first day of summer, and the week of the summer solstice has been designated Gay Pride Week in big cities across the country ever since world-changing riots were held by angry gay citizens in protest after the arrest of gay patrons of the Stonewall Inn in New York City on June 28, 1969. (When in Manhattan, it\u2019s worth a detour to stop by the Stonewall on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village, as my daughter and I have. It\u2019s not often one can stand at an epicenter of seismic social change.)\nIt is in part due to the efforts of Harvey Milk and his supporters that such celebrations and artworks were socially acceptable in a San Francisco civic building twelve years after Milk\u2019s death. Another proof of his continuing influence was the presence of an ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) rally which took place just outside the building on my wedding day. We in the wedding party stood behind the line of police officers who were all dressed in riot gear (all except police chief Frank Jordan, later the mayor of San Francisco, who wore his standard uniform), each of them looking grimly beyond his shield and baton at the loud but peaceful protesters outside. We who stood behind them felt we were on the wrong side of the law, so to speak. I would have preferred to be standing in my purple wedding suit outside the building alongside the green-haired protester wearing the Butthole Surfers T-shirt, but we had to wait our turn inside the building to be called to marry.\nThere was great pleasure in feeling solidarity with our LGBT sisters and brothers on a day when my then-husband and I celebrated our heterosexual union. Since then, laws in nearly 20 states have changed to allow the legal marriage of homosexual couples, and every time another state takes a big step forward toward marriage equality, I think of Harvey Milk and the important place he had in the early days of the struggle that has brought us so much closer to true equality for people of all sexual orientations. I think also of the fact that, over thirty years after his death, so many virulently bigoted people still feel free to spew their nonsensical hatred toward our gay brothers and sisters and to vote to keep them down. We must act up and speak up for each other, even if we are lucky enough not to have to fight this fight personally every day. As Harvey said, \u201cHope will never be silent.\u201d We must never let it be.\nAcademy AwardFilmGayGay RightsGeorge MosconeHarvey MilkHomosexualLGBTMovieOscarPrideRobert ArnesonSean PennStonewall\nArt, Film & Television\nThe Robin Hood of the Art World\nIs graffiti art? And if it is, is the defacement of others\u2019 property ever justifiable in the service of art? When is graffiti (or \u201cguerilla art,\u201d or \u201cstreet art\u201d) okay? When it says something meaningful? When it\u2019s well done? When it\u2019s pretty? When famous people say it\u2019s art?\nLet\u2019s suggest for a moment that it\u2019s always wrong to deface others\u2019 property. After a graffiti attack, once a property has already been defaced, is there ever a justification in leaving the defacement/art in place? What if it\u2019s really great-looking, astonishingly intricate, brilliant in its message: would those circumstances justify the illegal (and some would say unethical) action that created it?\nThese are important questions to consider when discussing or viewing graffiti art or \u201cstreet art,\u201d and a documentary that addresses them would be fascinating. However, Exit Through the Gift Shop, the excellent new documentary on street art, doesn\u2019t address any of them. And it doesn\u2019t need to. Subtitled \u201cThe world\u2019s first Street Art disaster movie,\u201d it\u2019s a fascinating film on its own merits, even though it leaves the ethics of all the principal characters in the film essentially unexplored. The film itself may be at least in part an elaborate hoax. If it is, it\u2019s still worth seeing.\nThe most famous graffiti artist in the world, and certainly one of the most talented, is a Briton who goes by the pseudonym Banksy. Banksy is a wily and elusive character who has been creating graffiti art, first in England and then internationally, since the early 1990s. He began as a common tagger but after too many run-ins with the law, he decided he needed to develop a new style that would allow him to prep a public outdoor space, create his art as quickly as possible, then disappear before cops could show up and arrest him. He developed a system in which he created a series of stencils, then smuggled them to various spots around Britain and used one or more of them to build up intricate and often sophisticated images, sometimes adding freehand strokes to the stenciled areas. His pieces often feature wry comments spray-painted next to or within the images. Subjects have ranged from small single-color rats (a frequent motif) to huge murals of policemen in riot gear dancing with daisies. He\u2019s often created life-sized people or animals, including policemen kissing each other and children in surprising situations. His messages are usually usually anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment.\nOver time, Banksy\u2019s wit, talent and cleverness at hiding his identity made him a cult figure, and his art became so desired and in such great demand that people began removing his works from walls, cutting chunks out of tagged buildings and selling them at auction, even on eBay. He has created a number of pieces on canvas as well, and they now sell for grand sums at no less august an institution than Sotheby\u2019s.\nBanksy often paints works that mimic the style and subject matter of old masters but which show clever twists, such as a 17th century village scene in which the buildings are covered in modern graffiti. He has repeatedly smuggled his paintings into major art galleries such as the Tate in London and New York\u2019s Museum of Modern Art and Metropolitan Museum, then hung each piece, complete with fancy frame and descriptive placard, among famous masterpieces. Sometimes museums have taken weeks to discover the subterfuge before removing his works. In 2005 his version of a primitive Lascaux-style cave painting depicting a human figure hunting wildlife while pushing a shopping cart was hung in the British Museum. When it was discovered, the British Museum, home to such important pieces as the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon\u2019s Elgin Marbles, wisely added Banksy\u2019s painting to the permanent collection.\nDespite his remarkably varied artistic talent, Banksy fits well into the graffiti artist or \u201cstreet artist\u201d genre because of his guerilla-style illegal forays into public places, which he then vandalizes, albeit wittily and with great skill, leaving evidence of his cunning alongside artistic talent. Many street artists have more swagger than technical skill, and the \u201cScrew you, society!\u201d anarchic message their graffiti announces to the world is usually more compelling than the actual art they produce. Banksy is not unusual among graffitists in his desire to remain anonymous and avoid arrest for his illegal activities, but he does show particular skill, subtlety and cleverness.\nSome of his ruses, such as cutting a red British telephone box in half, reassembling it and welding it so looks as if it\u2019s been hacked in two and bent, and then burying a hatchet in it, take not just daring and skill but some major resources to create, transport and maneuver into place. For fun several years ago, he counterfeited a million pounds worth of British currency with the face of Princess Diana taking the place of Queen Elizabeth II, but the results were so believable that attempts to spend the faux currency were all too successful, and he ended up with boxes of funny-money that he didn\u2019t dare distribute for fear of being prosecuted for a federal crime.\nBanksy\u2019s story is perhaps the most compelling one in the world of graffiti art, but it takes an unexpected back seat to the story of his videographer in the Banksy-made film Exit Through the Gift Shop. The documentary made a splash at the Sundance Film Festival in January and is packing arthouse cinemas around the world just a few months after its debut. The gist of the story is this: In the 1990s, Thierry Guetta, a French-born entrepreneur, ran a successful LA clothing boutique which sold vintage rock-and-roller and punky clothes which he bought for almost nothing in scrap bundles and sold for obscenely high prices. On the side, he began obsessively videotaping everything, including the illegal activities of his cousin, a French graffiti artist who made small mosaics based on bit-mapped Space Invaders videogame characters. His cousin, who called himself Space Invader, allowed Guetta to film him gluing his guerilla-art mosaics around Europe and America, and Guetta\u2019s videotaping obsession finally had a focus. He started documenting almost all the top players in the street art movement to the exclusion of doing almost anything else throughout the 1990s and most of the 2000s.\nOne artist who allowed Guetta constant access was Shepard Fairey, first famous for spreading over a million images of Andre the Giant\u2018s face on stickers and posters around the world, all atop the word OBEY, as if he were the ubiquitous Big Brother of Orwell\u2019s distopian classic 1984. Later Fairey became famous for the red and blue poster of Barack Obama above the word HOPE that becames an official image of Obama\u2019s campaign and has since been endlessly parodied. Fairey is now being sued by the Associated Press because he didn\u2019t have permission to use the AP photo he based the poster on. A likeable guy who gets around, Fairey had become friendly with Banksy. Fairey was impressed after seeing Guetta\u2019s obsessive compulsion to document graffitists and Guetta\u2019s willingness to put himself in harm\u2019s way and spend his own money and time helping Fairey and other street artists create and hang their work. According to the documentary, he felt Guetta could be trusted to meet and even videotape Banksy when Banksy came to Los Angeles. Guetta proved himself an extremely willing, friendly and helpful assistant, driving Banksy around, showing him the best public walls on which to ply his craft, and making his life and his art easier. Banksy soon allowed Guetta to film him at work, trusting that Guetta would keep his identity safe, which he did.\nHere\u2019s where the questions of who is an artist and what is art get confused. If you want to keep the upshot of the documentary a mystery, you might want to skip the next three paragraphs.\nEventually, Banksy felt it was time for Thierry Guetta to edit his huge collection of Banksy videos into a documentary, something Guetta had said he would eventually do but for which he had no training or experience. According to Banksy, after six months Guetta had cobbled together a headache-inducing, chopped-and-diced fiasco of a film without any narrative at all, a barrage of undifferentiated random images from his thousands of uncataloged videotapes of Banksy and other graffiti artists. Upon seeing this mess, Banksy suggested that Thierry give over access to all the videos and Banksy himself would create a movie out of them. To distract Guetta, Banksy suggested that Guetta should go off for six months and create art of his own and then have a little show. This made some sort of sense; the videographer had started doing some stencils of himself around LA and signing them MBW, which he said stood for Mr. Brainwash. Banksy thought Guetta would have a small vanity show someplace and the distraction would get him out of Banksy\u2019s hair while Banksy put together a reasonable documentary out of Guetta\u2019s frightening mishmash of videotape.\nHowever, Guetta, now consumed with the idea that he was an artiste who could make a fortune and have a giant, splashy, expensive solo show that would wow the world, mortaged his house, hired a cadre of actual artists, prop designers and contractors, and rented a huge, expensive space in downtown LA. He told other artists to make largely unattractive knock-offs of Andy Warhol-style pop art pieces and spray painted silkscreen images of pop culture icons, claimed and signed them all as his own work, and relentlessly hyped himself around LA as the next big thing. Seven thousand people lined up to see Mr. Brainwash\u2019s opening and his hundreds of derivative paintings, many of them created by others with almost no or no input from Guetta at all.\nLA loved him. He sold a million dollars worth of \u201cart\u201d in two weeks. So many people flooded the gallery that what had been expected to be a two-week show stayed up for two months. Madonna asked him to create a Warholesque image of her for her latest greatest hits album. Mr. Brainwash has his first New York show this spring. And the joke was on Banksy. Or was it? While it illustrates the phoniness of the art world that he\u2019s always reviled and parodied, a significant contingent of art world critics and followers believe they recognize the clever guiding hand of Banksy himself behind this cynical, clever and amusing film; they believe he put up the money for Guetta\u2019s show and is using Guetta as a frontman for his ruse.\nWhether this is a clever con or simply a wild situation that spun out of control while Banksy was distracted by the editing down of Guetta\u2019s archive of tapes, it is a perfect illustration of the sort of art world nonsense Banksy has always opposed. Banksy has staged it as the story of an authentic (if anarchistic) hermitic artist who hides out among us and goes by a pseudonym vs. the faux-artist con-man entrepreneur with little if any talent for art and no insight into what makes it good, important or inspiring. Even when Banksy has created art meant to be sold to the throngs angling to pay real money to own a genuine Banksy, he has happily bitten the hands that feed him.\nIn 2007, Sotheby\u2019s auction house auctioned off three of his pieces for a total of over \u00a3170,000; to coincide with the second day of auctions, Banksy updated his website with a new image of an auction house scene showing people bidding on a picture that said, \u201cI Can\u2019t Believe You Morons Actually Buy This Shit.\u201d In his quest to meet and videotape all the bright lights of the street art movement, Guetta, on the other hand, became so hungry to be seen as a creator and star rather than part of the supporting cast of the art world that he created a huge show out of nothing but borrowed money and chutzpah, and, horribly, pulled it off.\nThe question of whether what guerilla street artists do (trespassing and defacing property that is not theirs) is ethical or justifiable is never addressed in this film. That\u2019s understandable; Banksy is an outlaw hero who probably sees himself as akin to Butch Cassidy or Robin Hood, someone who points out the flaws in the system in an outrageously public way while remaining essentially invisible, only popping out often enough to build his legend and prove his existence. There\u2019s no reason why such a person would want to draw attention to the dark side of what he does, especially when he doesn\u2019t appear to recognize any darkness in it.\nA film this cleverly and entertainingly made adds to his allure and stature while presenting his actions in the best possible light. Without ever explaining or justifying himself, he wangles his way into the audience\u2019s affections and makes the story unfold in a way that builds sympathy for the characters, all of whom are literal outlaws. We find ourselves rooting for them to get away with their trespasses without ever feeling like we\u2019re being manipulated or spoonfed with obvious and unnecessary explanations or justifications. Banksy really knows how to tell and sell a story, and, like a sleight-of-hand master, how to distract us from many of the important issues without our stopping to think, hey, what about the elephant in the room?\nSpeaking of which, there\u2019s a great scene in which Banksy places an actual live elephant in the middle of a gallery show in order to prove a point. Of course, the point is lost on the media; they report that PETA (and LA Animal Services) didn\u2019t like him painting an elephant with children\u2019s facepaints and putting it on display, which is indeed newsworthy, but they seemed to have no concern with what the point of his painting the elephant was. This example of his disdain for people who don\u2019t think about the meaning or point of art is astute, but it also shows his arrogance in thinking that, because others don\u2019t share his sophisticated ideas and opinions on art, their own tastes, questions and concerns about what he does and how he does it are not just debatable but abominable proof of their philistinism. While I share his disappointment that people are so happy to accept pop culture simplifications of art rather than develop opinions of their own, I find his open contempt for people who don\u2019t share his worldview distressingly self-absorbed and arrogant.\nBanksy shows himself to be a witty and articulate man, both via his art and in the speeches he makes to the camera in this documentary. He speaks and gesticulates while wearing a dark hoody that obscures his face and and has his voice altered digitally. He could have been interviewed off camera and had the documentary\u2019s narrator Rhys Ifans, the dryly entertaining Welsh actor, repeat his words to ensure that nobody could recognize his speech patterns or accent, but Banksy clearly enjoys scooting out of the shadows just a bit, providing blurry-faced proof of his escapades to the world via Guetta\u2019s videos, letting people hear his accent, albeit in altered form. He is playing with his anonymity here, heightening the drama yet again, just as he does in his art, working the darkness and spray cans and stencils until he\u2019s constructed a shadowy version of himself that he can carefully control access to.\nBanksy appears to have a strong system of values (often fine ones, like looking out for the little guy and avoiding governmental tyranny), but seems to have little respect for the rights of others whose values differ (such as those who own property which he would like to cover in examples of his self-expression). This places him squarely alongside other heroes of the anarchistic British punk movement who have determined that destruction and defacement of things that they don\u2019t value is justification enough for ignoring laws which seek to respect property and and which respect the needs of a society based on the rule of law.\nIn an attempt to focus attention on exploitative flaws in the capitalist system, socialists or, even further to the left on the political spectrum, anarchists like Banksy sometimes feel justified in ignoring property rights entirely, saying they are an artificial and damaging construct which enslaves the poor and empowers the rich, thus denying basic human rights and dignity. If you believe that an entire system is wrong, it can be tempting to determine that you will no longer acknowledge its rules or its power over you and decide to do things your own way. But just as unfettered capitalism can lead to great selfishness and a lack of awareness or concern for the needs of others, unfettered socialism can lead to societies which refuse to give incentives or rewards for exceptional efforts or remarkable talents, and which can be perverted into unhealthy organisms which stamp out originality or innovation. Fortunately, hybrid societies with capitalistic bases and strong (though imperfect) social safety nets exist in several nations around the world. They show that a respect for the innate worth of every individual and the responsibility of society to look after its weakest members can be balanced with respect and recompense for exceptional talent and effort. They also show that respecting a person\u2019s property rights is an important component in respecting the person herself. No nation balances these opposing needs perfectly, but it is encouraging that millions around the world still strive to perfect their systems.\nA healthy and safe hybrid society runs on respect for all the people in it, as well as for their legally-obtained possessions. And while Banksy has often shown himself to have a certain integrity, pointing out flaws in the art world and questioning the values of modern society, he has also shown a willingness to profit (sometimes enormously) by engaging in the same art world he mocks. To have true integrity, one could argue that he would have to turn down chances to make money off his art, but by selling works directly through Sotheby\u2019s, even as he mocks the process, he has become a part of the system he claims to disdain. On the one hand, I want to see someone so talented and original, someone of his wit and insight and great skill, benefit from his ability and be able to make a good living as an artist. On the other hand, it saddens me to see him revel in becoming rich off the sale of his own private possessions while feeling no compunction about messing with the possessions of others and mocking the owners in the process. He then makes those whose property he has vandalized look bad when they seek to remove his art, even though, if they leave it in place, they give a message to all graffiti artists and other vandals that if you\u2019re famous and clever or do a good enough job at it, the rules of respecting other\u2019s space and property no longer apply.\nA society which makes exceptions for disrespect of property and laws of trespass invites evisceration of the social compact. Sad as I am to see some of Banksy\u2019s work disappear, I cannot blame the owners of the defaced spaces for showing their resolve not to let themselves become victims of vandalism, even clever or attractive vandalism, without a fight. Furthermore, Banksy knows that much of his work will be defaced or destroyed; he has chosen his medium and locations for precisely this reason. The impermanence makes seeing it as quickly as possible imperative, and that makes him an extra hot commodity and burnishes his oppressed outlaw image. It makes him a romantic figure of brash mystery.\nBanksy can act as cynical about the superficialities of the art world as he wants, but he\u2019s making huge sums of money off that very world nowadays, so he\u2019s benefiting from the system he finds so corrupt. His hands aren\u2019t clean, either.\nAndre the GiantBanksyDocumentaryExit Through the Gift ShopFilmGraffitiMovieMr. BrainwashOBEYShepard FaireyStreet ArtThierry Guetta\nFilm & Television, History\nPhilomena Lee and the Magdalen Laundries\nActor Judi Dench often plays unsmiling, all-knowing, uncompromising women who cannot be fooled, but in her Oscar-nominated role playing Philomena Lee in Stephen Frears\u2019s film Philomena, she gives a unexpectedly soft, poignant and sympathetic performance that displays her versatility and range. The film is based on the true story of Philomena Lee, and Irishwoman who became pregnant as a teenager in 1951 and was sent to a remote Irish abbey during her pregnancy. There she was forced by nuns to work as a laundress alongside other unwed mothers, and was made to stay on working at the laundry without pay for four more years as penance for the sin of having had premarital sex, and to pay the abbey for the costs of caring for her during her pregnancy.\nThe practice of locking up young unwed mothers in what were known as \u201cMagdalene asylums\u201d or \u201cMagdalene laundries\u201d was common in Ireland and Britain in the 19th century, and it spread to other European countries and to the U.S. and Canada. The practice lasted well into the 20th century. The last Magdalene asylum in Ireland was in operation until 1996. At these workhouses girls were sometimes beaten, often locked inside against their will and sometimes forbidden to leave even after they became adults.\nThe Catholic Church enjoyed free labor from these women, and embarrassed parents of unwed pregnant teens were often so relieved to avoid the public shame of having their daughters\u2019 sins paraded before society that many abandoned their children to the Magdalene sisters forever. Families often told neighbors and friends that their daughters had gone to live with family, or emigrated, or even died, all in an effort to save themselves from shame and social ostracism.\nWhile these teen girls worked long hours in steamy laundries, their children were watched over by nuns in nurseries. At the abbey where Philomena lived, children were often adopted out to American married couples who sought children in return for generous donations to the abbey. Philomena\u2019s much-loved son was adopted by an American couple and taken away without warning one day while she was working. She had no chance to say goodbye, she had no idea that her little boy had been flown to America, and she was not told that his named had been changed.\nAll her efforts to learn what became of her son were rebuffed by the abbey, which destroyed her records and denied knowledge of her son\u2019s name and whereabouts. Ashamed by her plight but desperately sad to have lost her son, Philomena sought him secretly for a half century without luck. Finally, she enlisted the help of Martin Sixsmith, an out-of-work journalist and former government advisor to the Labour Party. Martin and Philomena traveled to America together and learned extraordinary things about Philomena\u2019s son and the abbey\u2019s deceptive practices. Their story of their adventure together was published by Sixsmith in 2009 in his book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, described by the L.A. Times as \u201ca serio-comic travelogue full of heart-rending discovery and the triumph of forgiveness over hate.\u201d\nPreviews made it look like a manipulative tear-jerker about a naive old lady with a can-do attitude and a big heart, the sort of story that could turn sickly-sweet in under a minute. Happily, it stars Judi Dench and satirist Steve Coogan, two actors famous for their droll, whip-smart performances, and it benefits from the tart and clever writing of Coogan, who coauthored the screenplay. He is known for his cynical, sarcastic portrayals, and he shows his dark wit in films like The Trip and Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story. In England he\u2019s well known for his most popular creation, a character named Alan Partridge described as \u201ca socially awkward and politically incorrect regional media personality.\u201d\nI knew better than to expect mindless, treacly antics from Coogan or from director Stephen Frears, whose smart, often dark films include Dangerous Liaisons, My Beautiful Laundrette (which starred a young Daniel Day-Lewis), Prick Up Your Ears (with Gary Oldman) and The Grifters (a dark little masterpiece with John Cusack, Annette Bening and Anjelica Huston). Frears has no fear of difficult subjects or ugly moments. Weighing all these facts, I put aside my worries that this could be a manipulative little feel-good flick. Happily, I found it a movingly acted film about an unworldly, seemingly simple woman who turns out to be more complex and determined than people expect.\nThe battle between the jaded, antireligious cynicism of Martin and the every-day-is-a-gift devout positivity of Philomena is at the core of the film, but Dench\u2019s portrayal shows the spirited openmindedness of our seemingly old-fashioned heroine. Her sense of hopefulness and appreciation for small kindnesses is nicely balanced by exasperation with Martin\u2019s dour, dark, angry worldview. He is not won over by her endless sweet simplicity, but he is moved by her because he recognizes that she has insights into people and situations that he, with all his experience and inside information but lack of empathy, misses.\nMartin recognizes that Philomena\u2019s story is a door into a huge and devastating world of widespread, long-term institutional abuse of the most vulnerable among us: abandoned, pregnant teen girls and small children. He sees that she has a power to connect with people that he lacks because he is often closed to anything but the fulfillment of his own expectations and prejudices. The journey they take together becomes more tangled and difficult than they expect, and it becomes more personally engaging and meaningful than Martin could have guessed.\n[Originally published on Laura Grey\u2019s Little Hopping Bird blog.]\nAdoptionBiographyCatholic ChurchFilmJudi DenchMagdalene AsylumsMagdalene LaundriesMaggie SmithMartin SixsmithPhilomenaPhilomena LeeStephen FrearsSteve Coogan\nFilm & Television, History, Literature\n\u201cMy major regret in life is that my childhood was unnecessarily lonely.\u201d \u2013Truman Capote\nThe Truman Capote I grew up watching and reading was the Capote who appeared, usually drunk or drugged, odd but always interesting, on afternoon and evening talk shows, spinning stories about the fabulously famous and wealthy crowd with whom he ran. He was a professional personality by the time I was aware of him, but I also knew that he\u2019d written much-admired stories that had been turned into very famous and popular films. I knew that my mother admired his work, and that he had written \u201cA Christmas Memory,\u201d one of the most beautiful, understated, tender stories I\u2019ve ever read. The fact that it was based in his own experience made it all the more lovely to me. I felt sad for and protective of him at a young age, because I knew that the man who had written that story had been a tender and hyperaware child, like I had, and had seen the fear and pain in life as clearly as the joy and the secret beauties of it.\nMy mother taught \u201cA Christmas Memory\u201d to her high school English students for many years and she introduced it to me when I was about ten. I was completely taken with this story of a young boy abandoned by his parents and living with his disapproving southern aunts. This boy\u2019s best friend was the childlike old-maid cousin with whom he also lived, a woman who flew handmade kites with him and took him to buy moonshine whiskey from Mr. Haha Jones so they could make their annual batch of fruitcakes, one of which they sent to President Franklin Roosevelt every year. Capote had taken the littlest details and moments in what others might see as an unexceptional situation and spun them into a rich and compelling story, simple and straightforward but with every word in place, every emotion sparely but elegantly woven into the words. I think it\u2019s a short masterpiece; it is perhaps my favorite short story, and the one I\u2019ve read more often than any other.\nIt was immediately clear to me that Capote got the tone, the subtleties, the story, and the total devotion of the characters for each other exactly right. That he was the model for the boy Dill in his friend Harper Lee\u2019s story To Kill a Mockingbird, a novel that I find close to perfect, made him all the more special to me. I have read and reread \u201cA Christmas Memory\u201d to myself and others most of the Christmases of my life, and cry as regularly as clockwork when I come to the last bittersweet page. This was a man who clearly understood loss and loneliness, and who understood empathy and tender connection to another like few writers I\u2019d come across. There was something beautiful and tender and true in him and in his art that I, and millions of other people, were drawn to, and wanted to believe in.\nWhen Capote died in 1984 among swirling stories of long-term drug and alcohol abuse, he also left behind him a parade of disaffected friends who felt he\u2019d used and abused them, that he\u2019d betrayed their friendship and their secrets in order to steal their souls so that he might make not only his party anecdotes but his writing come to life. He had been such a wildly successful New York socialite, courting and collecting the loveliest, richest, and most prominent socialites as his \u201cswans,\u201d as he called them, for years. He hosted the New York social event of the decade, the famous and successful Black and White Ball, in 1966. Best-dressed list icons like Lee Radziwill and Babe Paley attended parties with him and had him to their summer homes, traveled with him and relished his delicious gossip. He wangled his way into the hearts of dozens of people who felt he understood them intimately and would respect and love them not only despite but because of their foibles. When he wanted to be charming, nobody could outcharm him. He made people of all types and of any social standing believe he loved them for the tender, misunderstood people they were inside their suits of shiny invincibility; they felt not only understood by him but safe with him. And then he spilled out their secrets for everyone to see.\nFor years he gathered their lives into his short stories and promised a splendid, insightful book to his publisher, talk show hosts, and the world, and we all waited with bated breath, knowing that when Capote had the time to build a work, like In Cold Blood, he would carefully piece it together just so and make the wait worthwhile. He had shown his mastery of the short story form very early in life, and, when sober, he was an insightful and entertaining fellow. He was also extraordinarily catty when he wanted to be, and, when one wasn\u2019t on the receiving end of that acid tongue, he could be shockingly funny. But his charm was so extreme and his magical power of diverting attention from the things that everyone should have known that he was a sponge who missed no details, a writer first and foremost, insightful and ruthless when exposing the hidden motivation, the raw nerve.\nSo he gathered his swans\u2019 secrets and then poured them out onto the page with such clarity, and so little effort at concealing the identities of his characters\u2019 inspirations, that he immediately and permanently drove most of his friends and their associates away and turned their feelings for him from indulgent and loving exasperation to anger, fear, and resentment. To learn of how almost all the doors of society slammed on him one by one after he had been the toast of New York, the shining star of literary society, was to feel that, no matter how much he deserved what he got, it was still a terrible shame, that there must have been some mistake somewhere, some misunderstanding.\nKnowing his downward trajectory during the last 15 years of his life makes \u201cCapote,\u201d the outstanding new film about his years researching and writing In Cold Blood, even more riveting. The film constructs, with not one extraneous scene or unnecessary bit of dialog, an understanding of his place in literary society, and his chameleon-like ease at blending into the lives of the people whom he wanted to capture and luring them into trusting him with their lives and stories. His ability to say exactly what a publisher, a murderer, his lover, his oldest friend wanted to hear in order to court their love or trust, and seem to mean each word he said, is juxtaposed rivetingly with his ability to cut them off at the knees, dismiss them, insult them, or ignore them when their needs don\u2019t suit his. The performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman is astonishing, not only because his impersonation of Capote\u2019s strained, high, tiny voice and his fussy mannerisms is so remarkably good, but because he moves effortlessly between charm and seemingly endless empathy to self-absorption of enormous proportion so smoothly and naturally. We both admire and revile him. In their roles, excellent actors Chris Cooper and Catherine Keener show indulgence and affection for him, as well as wariness and disgust with his deceit of others, of them, of himself. The script is often spare and the pacing, while perfect, is never rushed; what is not said by the characters is as important and full of meaning as the well-crafted dialog. We learn just enough about any character, any situation, to be able to piece together what its meaning will be to those involved. His actions and the reactions of others are carefully calibrated so that we are never in the dark as to what is going on or how his actions will reverberate, but we are trusted to be able to let the story build in our minds; the writer, director, and actors don\u2019t spoonfeed us but deftly piece the feelings, words, and actions of the characters together so that the story builds and intermeshes exactly as it should. This is how a subtle story should be told.\nAcademy AwardsCatherine KeenerChris CooperFilmIn Cold BloodPhilip Seymour HoffmanTruman Capote",

        "raw_content": "How Do You Tone Your Legs?\nMarch 12, 2018 Mia Foster\nHow to tone your legs? We may desire to have legs like Superman\u2019s or Wonder Woman\u2019s for various reasons. Dallas Cellfina experts claim that it could be to look better or to be stronger. Both of these come in the same way and it is impossible to attain one without the other; a win-win situation for you!\nSome people want you to believe that you can lose fat on only one part of your body. While this can be true through some kind of surgeries, and through liposuction, it does not quite work that way with exercise.\nYou do not spot target fat. You don\u2019t burn fat from specific areas only. Exercise helps you to cut fat from your body wholesomely. That said, workout routines that target particular parts of your body have little to do with fat but more on activating muscle in those areas. If cutting fat on your legs is what you want, do workout wholesomely and cut fat throughout your whole body by aerobic exercise among others. If you do not have much fat, cellilute and now want to tone your legs, here are some more tips for you:\nRoutine Runs \u2013 There are not that many activities that can work out your legs like jogging and running. However, you would need to do it every day. Ensure that you step on the ground with the front part of your sole so to seem like you are a ballet dancer.\nDon\u2019t overdo it though; just make sure that you don\u2019t step on the ground with your whole foot but just with the area around your toes. The trick here is in consistency. You don\u2019t want to cheat yourself that once a week will do anything. Get out there and burn some rubber.\nDo Some Squats -Squats do you a world of good, but we will focus on only two. Your legs. Your butt. You will tone your legs with a good workout plan that has plenty of squats in it. Your only downside is that your butt would firm up and take a more rounded and athletic shape (you know, in case you never meant to work your butt too or didn\u2019t want a stiffer athletic one).\nThe typical squat would do just fine. Stand firm on both your feet exactly shoulder width apart, keep your back straight. Now imagine that you want to sit on a chair while still being right-angled. Lower yourself down until your thighs are 90-degrees to your calves, and parallel to your feet. Rise up slowly.\nYou can modify them by jumping off the ground when you get stronger. There are many other variations like the pistol squat, sumo squat, narrow squat, and the oblique squat, find out which one works best and which one you love the most.\nDo Leg Lift Variations \u2013 This is the best one for many that have trouble being active. You can even do it on your bed just before you sleep and immediately after waking.\nLie flat on your back. Without bending the knees, lift your legs up and ensure that both of them are perpendicular to your torso. Don\u2019t play around with your back but instead, keep it steady. Now slowly bend one leg from the knee while you leave the other straight up. Keep making variations with both legs. This exercise will tone the front part of your thighs.\nSecond one. Lie flat on your back as well. Just like the former, raise your legs up in the air and perpendicular to your chest without bending your knees. Slightly lower your legs from the hips while they\u2019re still perfectly straight till almost touching the ground, then raise them back up. You can switch direction and lower your legs to your left side, then to your right side, then back to the original one. Have repetitions of about 20 then relax. This is a really good one and will activate your core, too. You will have a six-pack along with a pair of toned legs in no time.\nTiptoe \u2013 Stand upright on both feet and raise your heels off the floor. If you have trouble balancing, do this across a wall numerously until you tire, relax and repeat.\nAll the aforementioned techniques will tone your legs and if you do them right, even other parts of your body. You, however, need to understand that your body will experience pain during your daily activities like walking. This will stop after a few days when your body becomes more attuned.\nA Healthcare Administration\nFebruary 28, 2018 February 28, 2018 Mia Foster\nA healthcare administration degree can help you pursue a bright and enriching career, whether you\u2019re a professional as a doctor , lawyer inside the industry or someone keen to break into it. Of course, it requires about four years or more of sweat, toil, anxiety, and money before you can start reaping the fruit of your labor.\nOnly after you have successfully waded through the mountains of coursework; endured the stress of preparing project reports; fought sleep on study nights; and braved the anguish of assessment days are you finally ready to don the coveted graduation gown and hat.\nBut what have you worked so hard for? A bright and enriching career for sure, but what exactly makes it so? Here are five factors that may make a career in healthcare administration the stuff dreams are made of, and why enrolling in a healthcare administration degree program could be a smart choice.\nJob Security: Layoffs. Bankruptcies. Pay cuts. Reduced working hours. Decreased production. Diminishing demand. Whichever direction you turn, these are the words that cut like knife through your heart. Like it or not, such is the reality of the times we live in. Jobs are hard to come by and job security is a feeling that retired about the same time as our folks. Except for one bright spot that continues to shine through the dark clouds of economic recession: healthcare. The nature of the industry, which is among the largest employers in the country, makes it more or less resistant to financial ups and downs. Healthcare administration is one of the primary healthcare occupations and hence can offer stability and security at a time when almost every other industry seems to have been consumed by the recession.\nPaycheck: While puritans of academia will argue against the wisdom of treating college education as business investment, the current economic environment does not leave any room for being a romantic. The truth is that you spend a precious amount of money on getting a college degree and hence, are absolutely justified in expecting returns from it. The excellent ROI they offer is one of the biggest things going in favor of healthcare degrees. As for healthcare administrators, they can make up to $84,270 per year in this profession, depending on education, experience, and location**.\nManagement Roles: Healthcare administrators are also called health service managers. Needless to say, it is a responsible position that can provide you a taste of life as a manager/leader. You make important decisions, you drive change, you decide business strategy, you implement organization-wide policies, you bring in improvements and efficiency, you attract talent, you mentor, you guide, you influence, and you impact how things function in your facility.\nOf course, specific roles depend on your qualification, specialty, and the size of the facility. In really large facilities, senior executive and management roles are typically reserved for graduates of Master\u2019s in Health Care Administration programs or other business/healthcare degrees.\nSocial Contribution: Healthcare administrators are not involved in direct patient care. They may not even visit patients all that often. But they touch the patient\u2019s life on several levels. First, by continually making efforts to improve the quality of the healthcare delivery system. Second, by developing and leading healthcare outreach programs. Third, by advocating policy changes to improve the state of healthcare in society. And finally, by taking care of the more mundane details of running a healthcare facility, so doctors, nurses, and other primary healthcare providers can concentrate on caring for their patients.\nAlthough in many cases when medical services are paid by third parties, many are paid out of pocket by the consumer. Whether a consumer has an insurance policy that includes a high deductible or co-insurance responsibility, or a consumer is self pay and is solely responsible the payment of services, consumers\u2019 ability to pay for services greatly influences their demand for them, even if they are medically necessary.\nFor elective services that are not considered medical necessary, consumers usually have to pay for the service mostly out of pocket, which will certainly affect its demand. In a booming economy, demand for such services would increase, as in a slumping economy demand would decrease.\nLack of Buyer Discretion\nConsumers in healthcare rarely determine their need for services, as consumers within other industries usually determine their need for products and services. Healthcare services, which are consumed by the patient, are usually ordered by a physician. This is unlike any other industry, as the patient is prescribed a service that they must comply with.\nKnowledge of Price\nOne of the most prevalent differences between healthcare consumers and other consumers is that healthcare consumers\u2019 costs are usually covered by third parties (insurance). Because third party payers pay for most of a patient\u2019s medical services, patients themselves are not usually involved in or even aware of the price of service. Patients rarely even have access to pricing information for services.\nNever forget that before you get on a boat; you should make sure you have the right insurance coverege.\nEvaluating Quality of Service\nMost healthcare consumers do not experience the healthcare system until they have a need for services. Thus, when consumers evaluate services they receive, they form their opinions through subjective observations such customer service and the cleanliness of the facility. This is considerably different for consumers within other industries as they form their opinions about products through objective observations such as the quality of the product and the ease and effectiveness of its use.\nHealthcare consumers typically have limited knowledge regarding the services they are to receive, as other consumers are usually well informed about the products and services they are pursuing. Most consumers in other industries seek as much information about products to compare one from another.\nBecause of this, healthcare consumers usually lack the ability to evaluate the quality of service they receive, as other consumers very well can evaluate the quality of the product or service they receive.\nHealthcare services are usually NOT marketed directly to healthcare consumers as they are not the ones that choose which services to receive in most cases. This is unlike other products and services which ARE directly marketed to the consumer.\nMedicine and The Future\nOctober 9, 2017 Mia Foster\nIn early circumstances, there were many social orders that viewed diseases as caused by detestable spirits that must be managed by utilizing custom practices performed by a shaman or medicine man. As science advanced to find microbiology, it was discovered that many infections are really caused by virus or bacterial infections attacking the human body and causing harm. Medicine at that point started to join the fight against these little trespassers by making concoction aggravates that controlled indications or executed the strains of awful bugs that were resolved to be in charge of illnesses. Additional time and research soon found that the foe adjusted to our endeavors to kill them from our bodies, and began changing to wind up noticeably impervious to the different sorts of substance mixes we tossed at them and start-up significantly more hurtful strains. Notwithstanding the destructive organisms, there are different sorts of microbes and operators that have been observed to be both valuable and even basic to keeping up the adjust of human well being.\nSuspending the ebb and flow restorative approach in curing maladies for the occasion, there are various captivating conceivable outcomes that surface in analyzing the idea of these life frames, and the by and by the acknowledged way to deal with managing them. In spite of the fact that organisms are certainly a variety of our own physical frame, there are a few similitudes important. It has been watched that all life appears to be able to do some kind of social structure past the extent of individual individuals from a gathering and inside the bounds of an aggregate correspondence with individuals from like kind. Survival relies upon adjustment to threatening ecological changes, and the impulse for survival is natural even in the most reduced types of life. At the point when any kind of life is undermined with annihilation, it takes whatever measures are inside its ability to safeguard however much of its own kind as could reasonably be expected. This kind of regular capacity is valid for the two plants and creatures and has unquestionably demonstrated similarly valid for even the infinitesimal types of life. For a considerable length of time, present-day medicine has moved toward the cure of infections by propelling assaults against organisms with chemicals went for killing the ailment without hurting the host. As the fight for our own survival proceeds with, medicines planned for controlling ailments have moved into classifications that simply\ntreat side effects while our own particular normal guards fight for matchless quality, or presenting cures that reason reactions which can be more unsafe than the ailment.\nThese organisims start to act weird as we get older. Your skin and body starts to shrink. This is where you need take the control. A visit to a plastic surgeon can help you fight these aging organisims.\nGenerally, individuals stock up on icy medicines and get ready for infusions composed to\nvaccinate against the most recent transformations of influenza infections. The powers of human medicine proceed forward with attempting to find better approaches to slaughter our opposition and stay consistent with the apparently inborn power of our tendency. In spite of the fact that this approach has demonstrated mostly viable, there are many signs that triumphant fights won\u2019t bring about an extreme triumph over the sicknesses that torment our reality. With the present realities standing up to us, the time has come to think about\nhow conceivable it is that we are utilizing the wrong way to deal with an enduring arrangement. As higher types of life, we understand that uncontrolled illness can possibly execute us. If we pass on, the various life frames that rely upon our physical bodies will in the long beyond words well. As we share the bounds of our bodies with all the tiny life that possesses a similar space, it is clear to human rationale that any type of destructive malady is at last reckless, in light of the fact that if the germ wins the war with our common resistances, they eventually die alongside the host condition.\nImportance of Home Health Care Service\nSeptember 13, 2017 September 13, 2017 Mia Foster\nNowadays it\u2019s important for everyone to have a health plan, to avail necessary medical benefits. In modern times due to the huge advancement in the field of medical science and management, most health concern services which were earlier available in hospitals only can now be provided at your home. A good home health care service provides both skilled medical services and non-skilled medical services. Most health services include a vast range of services which can be enjoyed by the patient in case of any illness or accidental injury. Health care services are economical compared to hospital or any other skilled nursing facilities. Most health care benefits include professional care, timely support, and easy communication and above all comfort of home.\nIf you are residing in Florida, at the Palm Beach County area and looking for a good health care service provider, then you may search online for the keyword \u201cHome Health Care\u201d And get the best results.

Other medical supplies such as wound dressings etc. are also provided if they are ordered as part of your package.\nThere are various companies offering services related to Home health care. Before choosing the service of any particular pest control companies, you must carefully go through the details and thereby collect information.

If there is anything to get alarmed of, immediate help reaches the client\u2019s doorstep. There is also an instrument to detect fall. It is very common for an older adult to lose balance and fall. At a matured age they are susceptible to serious injury. Even if there is a trained nurse at home, it is not possible to keep an eye glued on someone. But as soon as they get an alarm through this device they can rush to help.\nHome health care services are being developed to cater to any kind of health related need even when a person is staying at home.\nThe patience rights in Texas\nAugust 24, 2017 Mia Foster\nEverybody should benefit from patience rights; has a right to live whether ill or well these rights must be adhered to the letter. In fact in some states in the US like Texas these rights are stipulated in the constitution. Just because you are not feeling well does not mean that you have no rights.

So here are some of the patients\u2019 rights as stipulated by the constitution under chapter 576, the rights of patients.\nRight to be respectfully and considerately cared for at all times.\nIrrespective of the hospital you are in and your condition, as a patient the care givers must respect your wishes and refrain from harassment and abuse when caring for you.

In fact the doctor is sworn to secrecy and can never divulge information about your condition to anyone even a specialist who can help you without your consent. Under this law the patient has a right to access his medical records at any given point.\nRight to accept/refuse any medication offered to him\nIf you feel like the medication is not working or even worsening your situation, you have a right to refuse medication and demand the doctors to give you another form of treatment.

The good news for you is that you can enjoy aging if you know what\u2019s going on with your body. Not to mention you also need to take steps in order to maintain your health. The fact is that when you age, many different things happen to your body.\nYour skin, bones and even your brain might start to behave in a different way. You should ensure that the changes that come with old age should not take you by surprise. Here we will discuss the 7 ways on how to stay fit when aging.\nFollowing guide will give you instructions about how to design your future but also keep in mind that your family and Care Staf of Dallas will always be there to help you.\nThe plain truth is that your living depends on how you feel about getting older. Ideally, you must have goals and look ahead to the future without viewing your actual age as an obstacle.\nYou should ask yourself how you will look forward to the future when you are 70 or 80 in the same way when you were 25 or even 30. In order for you keep going your answer should be \u201cyes\u201d.\n2. You should not act your age\nAnother great way is to appreciate the fact that you are only as old as you feel. How you feel inside is very important as compared to your physical get-up. If you feel old, it is your own prophecy.\nIf somebody feels too old to do a particular physical activity he is most likely to cut back on this activity. Once he does, his muscles will start shrinking due to lack of use and he may cut down his activities even more. You should avoid this kind of situation by continually doing some exercises as you age.\n3. Avoid mobility aids until you need them badly\nYou should not use a scooter or wheelchair unless you really need one. You should realize that it is very easy to become dependent on such things as they are easier than doing the work required by our bodies.\nIf you get tired by walking you should walk slowly but regularly to build endurance and strength. If you exercise regularly, you would not feel much tired. Even if you find the activities too difficult you should not give up. You should try to improve or maintain your existing level of fitness by remaining active.\n4. Do not stop working when you retire\nIt has been proved time and again that early retirement and earlier death are related to each other. Most people are not able to wait as their jobs are full of stress and they do not take the required vacations. But the truth is that if you have a job, you have something to look forward too.\nYou get to learn new things through work and develop important activities and social networks to have a smooth life. In case your full-time career is too demanding, then you can opt for part-time working and switch to a job which is less stressful.\n5. Keep your chin up when you have health problems\nEven if you are suffering from a disease or illness affecting your life, you should have a positive attitude to keep you healthy and lead a longer life.\nThe fact is that people who are optimistic in lives have less risk of dying as compared with people with pessimistic attitudes.\n6. Consider aging as an opportunity\nRemember that your own perception of aging has more impact on survival as compared to cholesterol level and blood pressure. That is what was found in one of the researches for health of people aged 50 or older. People who lived longest were the one who displayed positive outlook as far as their future was concerned.\nThose who agreed that aging was no big deal were able to work full time, move out, do housework and do activities linked with younger people. These people also lived longer than those who had less positive ideas.\n7. Have goals for your future\nYou should make a list of things to do which is important irrespective of your age and especially for those who are retired. Work helps you to keep younger but there are more important things in life than just work.\nYou should have personal as well as professional goals. These can be goals related to career or goals related to your personal interest. Goals not only help you to grow but also develop regardless of your age.\nThe Damage Drug Abuse Does To The Body\nJuly 19, 2017 Mia Foster\nOne of the greatest things that can damage the body is drugs. There are all kinds of drugs out there, and many become very sick, and some have died from using them incorrectly or abusing them. Professionals are out there to help people with drug problems. There are rehabilitation programs, there is therapy, and doctors that help you. These are things that help people that have a drug problem get away from drugs and help get their bodies cleaned out. Drugs will do some many things to your body, the damages it can cause can be very bad.\nYour body can begin to weaken, cause your bones to become damaged, you can become thin, and some can start to eat away at your skin. Drugs affect the brain, the cells, nerves, everything in your body will get damaged in time. Some damages can be worse than others depending on the drugs that are abused and how bad the damage as set in before an addict seeks help. Many drugs are very addictive either physically, emotionally, or both and the people who are on them often do not want to see the damage their addiction is causing. All they want is more, and it is many times they are severely injured before they get help.\nMethamphetamine is one of the most popularly drug abuse today. It is manufactured in some of the worst ways imaginable, and an addict might never know exactly what they are eating, snorting, or shooting. This drug or a better choice of words might be a deadly concoction, can cause you to lose weight rapidly. You can be thin and sickly after you have used it for a while. Your skin can get very pale and scary.\nYou will look like your nothing, but skin and bone like you have no muscle on your body at all. There will be bags under the eyes, and they can look black and blue. It can make your body shake all the time, cause people to stay up, have eyes red, tooth decay, and cause the gum to decay as well. Sometimes it only takes using this drug once or twice for a person to become addicted. It is that bad.\nAll drugs are different, and they do different things, but they all will end up doing damage to your system when they are abused. It can cause you to not remember things, do things that you would never do, and you can hurt other people. Drugs have so various chemicals in them, and they will attack the body inside and out. Have a talk with your kids, tell them to stay away from drugs, show them what can happen to them and what has happened to other people. Just say no to drugs, be smart, keep your body healthy.\nCounsellors of substance abuse are commonly found in the hospitals, government programs, private practices, or even any reasonable work places. Meanwhile, counsellors of drug and alcohol commonly deal with people who have drug abuse problems. That is why we have drug rehab Dallas.\nAlcohol: This is the intoxicating part of any drink fermented from sugar. It is also defined as drinks that can make people drunk; this includes beer, wine, whisky, etc. It is also the volatile liquid distilled from fermented saccharine liquids and which forms the basis of all wines and spirits.Keep a mindful eye on your prescription pill inventory. We speak with addicts on a daily basis. A very common age for the beginning of drug abuse is around 14 years old. They tell us that the first source for their drug addiction started with their parents or grandparents medicine cabinet.\nSmokers usually have less life span than nonsmokers and are prone to various diseases like heart diseases, respiratory diseases, lung cancer, COPD, etc. Due to the severe health risks associated with smoking, the health and life insurance companies charge higher premiums from smokers than non-smokers.At the start of a rehab programme, detox is necessary to rid the body of toxins built up through drug and alcohol use. Detoxing can help reduce (although may not eliminate) the physical or mental cravings for narcotics/booze, making it easier to focus on changing behaviours and habits related to substance use.Detoxing can be the first step on the road to beating alcohol addiction or ending drug abuse. Detox usually takes place in a rehab clinic or rehab centre, but it can equally take place at your home.\nJuly 7, 2017 July 7, 2017 Mia Foster\nThere was once a time when someone who had reached 40 years of age was considered old and over the hill. Well, times have certainly changed. The lifespan of the average person has been steadily increasing over the last several centuries, and cutting-edge advances in medical science have been pushing the envelope even further for aging well.\nAs a result, more people are reaching the age of 70, 80, and even 90 with increasing frequency. Admittedly, a good number of these individuals are living with chronic health conditions, but this is far from the end of the story.\nSurprisingly, an increasing number of mature individuals are living lives full of joy and activity and aging well. What are their secrets to success? This article will take a closer look at the subject, and further educate our readers about it along the way. It will also answer certain questions that are relevant to the subject.\nWhat is the nature of aging?\nWhat are some science-based tips that mature people can use to maximize the quality of life in their golden years?\nLet\u2019s answer these questions:\nAging is a natural part of life, a rite of passage that everyone must go through at some point if they live long enough. But what causes aging? What are some of the processes that drive this transformation?\nTo understand this process, we first need to take a look at the body\u2019s smallest, most basic unit, the cell.\nEvery one of us is made up of trillions of individual cells, which are then organized into tissues, organs, and bodily systems. Some cells reproduce continuously. Others, including nerve cells, cardiac cells, and muscle cells, do not reproduce as readily.\nWhen we are young, we are easily able to copy and replace damaged or dead cells. As we age, the rate of cell replacement slows dramatically. As this happens, our bodies become much more susceptible to diseases and infections, as well as becoming less proficient at finding and getting rid of damaged cells that may someday become cancerous tumors.\nIn addition to this cellular aging, our DNA holds the key to how we age and what diseases we may be prone to as adults. Over time, our DNA can become damaged by things such as free radicals, which are ionized remnants of metabolic processes that over time inhibit the ability of cells to operate normally.\nSo between the environment, cell deterioration and genetic damage to our DNA, the aging process takes hold and accelerates. Dallas female cosmetic surgeons have several proof that looking young helps feeling young.\nWhat are some science-based tips that people can use to maximize the quality of life and slow the aging process? Now that we\u2019ve discussed some of the causes of aging let\u2019s consider some of the solutions to the problem. Let\u2019s start with some tips that anyone can use to slow the aging process and maximize their enjoyment of their golden years.\nWhen it comes to maintaining health and wellness at any age, living an active lifestyle is near the top of the heap regarding effectiveness. Exercise helps to ensure that individuals can maintain sound cardiovascular and robust health. Therefore, activities that promote cardiovascular health such as swimming, riding, jogging, or playing a sport should be enthusiastically pursued. But this is not all. Maintaining muscular strength is also important and to these end, individuals looking to lengthen their life span would be wise to engage in regular resistance training exercises. Not to say that everyone needs to be the next Tony Atlas, but one to two days strength training every week will do wonders regarding adding many extra years on to the lifespan of the average person.\nThe phrase \u2018you are what you eat\u2019 is not just a truism, it is true. As most athletes know, eating a balanced and healthy diet can be the difference between victory and defeat. The same holds true for everyday life. Individuals who make a habit of eating foods high in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals will be giving their bodies\u2019 what they need to keep everything ship shape and in good order. As we age, we need to be even more aware of what we put in our body. If individuals can do these consistently and correctly, this alone will add many years of health and enjoyment to their life spans.\n3. Maintain Your Brain Power\nLife is great, but just to be alive is not enough. A healthy body without a healthy mind is mostly useless, so people who wish to maximize the enjoyment of their later years would do well to make doing this a priority. Some good ways to do this include reading books, taking dance lessons, learning a new language, going back to college, and learning to play an instrument.\nStatistics tell us that close to 3o% of adults live alone, and this factor is a strong indicator of loneliness. But things do not have to be this way. Just by maintaining regular communication with family and friends, individuals in their golden years can stave off the effects of aging. Therefore, individuals in this age group \u2013 and indeed all persons \u2013 should make cultivating their relationships one of the top priorities in life.\n5. Practice Prevention\nIt may come as a surprise to learn this, but in actuality many illnesses and common geriatric healthcare problems are preventable. To keep simple health situations from becoming more serious, seniors should take simple precautions. These include getting their yearly flu vaccinations, washing their hands on a regular basis, using appropriate footwear, taking their vitamins, and making sure to get regular exercise.\nThese are by no means the only ways to stay young as we get old. But they are a great place to start, and those who apply these simple tips to mitigate aging will be putting themselves in an excellent position to not only age gracefully, but to enjoy the entire process.\nSimple Measures For Finding A Suitable Dementia Hospice Care Home\nJuly 4, 2017 Mia Foster\nIf your elderly loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, you have probably learned to accept the inevitable truth that at one point or another they will no longer be able to live independently. It may well be the time for you to capitulate to the idea of dementia care homes for the best healthcare.\nThe burden of watching a loved one lose touch with everyone and everything that matters is emotionally exhausting, to put it mildly. Family members are often unable to provide the necessary care to the dementia patient due to other responsibilities, such as jobs and children, for instance.\nFamily members may start thinking that they are not in the best position to care for their loved one with dementia when the patient has developed medical or behavioral problems that require more than they can provide; or if the patient becomes a danger to themselves, or other members of the family. This is when hospice Fort Worth for the elderly become a necessity.\nWhat are the things you should consider when making your decision as to which dementia hospice care is best for the patient?\nThe type of dementia hospice care required depends on the general health and needs of the individual.\nConsider the budget before making the final decision. It is a fact that dementia hospice care homes can be very expensive, although there are facilities that are subsidized by the government. List down a few selections, including some government funded facilities; and do a comparative cost analysis to guide you in picking the right one.\nInquire about amenities and examine services purportedly offered by the home. It is best to go to the care home and see for yourself the suitability of the place to the requirements and needs of the patient. Along with the physical structure and environmental soundness of the facility, you should also check the training and qualification of the employees.\nAsk about intervention programs and activities designed for the patient. An ideal dementia hospice care home should focus on providing individualized care that promotes independence, choice and respect. Activities don\u2019t need to be structurally planned; activities can be as simple as board games or playing with cards. The point is to organize activities that are motivating but not intense.\nTry to pick a care home nearer to your house. A considerable proportion of patients are unwilling to stay in a care home as it makes them lonely and they fear that they would lose touch with their family and friends. Keeping the patient as close to \u201chome\u201d as possible will lessen the common perception that they are being neglected and that they will soon be just part of a memory. It will definitely improve the patient\u2019s disposition and slow down the progress of the disease if they are regularly visited by friends and family.",

        "title": "Social Media & COPD - Lincoln COPD Research",
        "raw_content": "What is COPD and why is support important?\nChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease and symptoms can include breathlessness, coughing and tiredness. People with COPD tend to be older and often experience multiple physical and psychological conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, loss of muscle, anxiety and depression. Many people with COPD have reduced mobility and it is common for them to be living alone. Incidentally, many report a reduction in their quality of life and due to worsening of their symptoms, they can be highly dependent on the healthcare system for further support.\nThere are an estimated 328 million people living with diagnosed COPD worldwide and this condition is therefore a huge challenge for healthcare systems globally. Evidence from recent systematic reviews on the facilitators and barriers to self-management and physical activity suggest that social support is an important factor in the maintenance of healthy behaviours. However, as many people with COPD live by themselves and have reduced mobility, an important question is how to best help patients live with their condition and have access to social support.\nIs social media an answer?\nThe term \u2018social media\u2019 is defined as computer mediated technologies that facilitate the creating and sharing of information, ideas, career interests and other forms of expression via virtual communities and networks. Examples of such technologies include popular applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Snapchat. These applications make it possible for people to connect with others in similar situations. There is a rapid development of technology and an increase in the use of social media in healthcare, however, the suitability of social media for specific population groups is a debated topic, with arguments for and against its use.\nPopular Social Media applications\nSocial media provides a platform to quickly share information to a large, targeted audience. Individuals can send and receive instant messages for free. Social media can connect patients together via instant messaging platforms, empower patients to self-manage their condition and motivate patients to maintain healthy behaviours. In addition, social media also enables healthcare professionals to contact far reaching patients and otherwise isolated individuals and monitor their health status. All these factors may increase individuals\u2019 physical and psychological wellbeing, thus potentially saving time, money and general frustration for both the patients and NHS!\nHowever, it could be argued that social media is not suitable platform for a large proportion of the COPD population, as individuals tend to be older and more socially disadvantaged and have less experience using the internet. In 2013, data from the UK Office for National Statistics show that whilst 90% of 16\u201324 year olds have used social media, this was true for only 19% of 65\u201374 year olds. However, recent data also shows that households with individuals 65+ also had the largest growth of internet use since 2012. Research in Latin America by Ojeda and colleagues in 2016 explored the use and preference of social media in individuals with COPD. Of 88 people who took part, approximately 40% used Facebook, and approximately 30% reported using the internet for getting information about COPD, suggesting that social media could be a way forward in this population. Data suggests that internet use is rising in this population and therefore it is likely that social media is becoming more suitable as time goes by.\nIt is also important to consider that limited social media and internet access does not suggest that individuals would not benefit from, or be engaged, with social media in the future, only representing a barrier that could easily be overcome through education and training. Interestingly, 74% of patients in the research by Ojeda and colleagues reported interest in using WhatsApp to communicate with doctors. The results from recent research exploring the acceptability and usage of the internet in COPD healthcare suggest that internet use, including engagement in social forums and online communities is a feasible approach to healthcare treatment in this population. These results provide food for thought on using social media, and hence, digital technologies in COPD healthcare. However, there is limited research on the use of social media as an effective strategy to improve healthcare for individuals with COPD.\nAn ongoing feasibility study in Lincolnshire is addressing the concerns surrounding social media by incorporating social media (WhatsApp) in an intervention to promote physical activity following pulmonary rehabilitation for individuals with COPD (NCT03660644). Pulmonary rehabilitation often improves patients\u2019 symptoms and fitness levels, however, individuals can struggle to maintain physical activity over time. Individuals often report enjoying the social nature of pulmonary rehabilitation, due to the interactions with peers and health care professionals, and one of the barriers to maintaining physical activity is the lack social support after the programme. To maintain peer support, individuals who have completed pulmonary rehabilitation are being added to WhatsApp groups to connect them with fellow pulmonary rehabilitation graduates.\nWhatsApp physical activity group\nAt point of writing, the study has been running for 7 months and there are mixed feelings from many participants. Some individuals reported that they were unfamiliar with smartphones or with WhatsApp and were therefore apprehensive about mastering a new device and application. However, many of these individuals also liked the idea of a new challenge and are currently engaging in WhatsApp.\nWhat do stakeholders believe?\nA member of Lincoln Breathe Easy (a COPD support group) is currently involved in the feasibility study which has connected members of pulmonary rehabilitation together in a WhatsApp group. They have an active role in facilitating the WhatsApp group by sending regular messages to encourage people to stay active following pulmonary rehabilitation. They believe Social Media is a great way to keep people connected, especially if individuals already know each other and regularly meet. For those unfamiliar with Social Media, a priority is to provide simple tuition to support people to feel confident with using applications like WhatsApp which support instant messaging. One way to do this is to provide peer support during Breathe Easy meetings or during pulmonary rehabilitation. They are looking forward to being actively involved in further research with the University of Lincoln and hope to help improve support for people with respiratory conditions.\nA Research Fellow at the University of Lincoln, specialising in non-drug interventions for improving the management of respiratory conditions reports that:\n\u2018It is becoming clear that in order to achieve goals of their treatment such as keeping physically active, people with lung conditions need to be socially supported. Social media has the potential to do this, we are working alongside people with lung conditions and healthcare professionals in the NHS to find out the most effective way to use it.\u2019\nCOPD is a common respiratory disease and represents a global challenge in healthcare. Social media enables individuals to share information and receive social support, removing barriers such as transport and cost. However, limited motivation to use social media and limited understanding of technology and online social applications may dampen individuals\u2019 perception and experiences of Social Media.\nCurrent research is exploring the effectiveness and acceptability of delivering social support via social media and preliminary findings suggest there are mixed views on the benefits of social media. However, if social media has a place in healthcare, the next step could be understanding how healthcare professionals could provide sufficient support for individuals to become confident in effectively navigating the internet and using social media. In addition, research to explore the popularity and preference of different devices, for example, phones, tablets and computers could facilitate using healthcare services via the internet. More research is necessary to understand individuals\u2019 perception of social media and, how and where it can have a place in healthcare.\nCredit \u2013 Hayley Robinson",

        "raw_content": "Today is the 100th anniversary of John F. Kennedy\u2019s birth. If you\u2019re on social media, you might see a list of Lincoln and Kennedy \u201ccoincidences.\u201d While some of them are true (like they both were elected in years ending with \u201c60\u201d) a lot are exaggerations, superficial or just plain wrong.\nThat said, there are some more interesting connections between the 16th and 35th presidents. Kennedy\u2019s brother Robert owned a copy of the Emancipation Proclamation signed by Lincoln. Martin Luther King, Jr., presented JFK with the text of a \u201cSecond Emancipation Proclamation,\u201d that would have outlawed segregation. In 1968, Dion recorded a song that combined all of these incredible people: \u201cAbraham, Martin, and John\u201d which focused on the assassination\u2019s of Lincoln, King and the Kennedy brothers. Watch the YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5hFMy4pTrs.\nIn addition, JFK cited Lincoln in a campaign speech while in Springfield, Illinois on October 3, 1960. It\u2019s quite a striking speech that still echoes in the present.\nHe first mentioned Lincoln in the context of presidential debates, since just two days before he had met Nixon in the first televised presidential debate. Citing Lincoln\u2019s famous line that the country couldn\u2019t endure permanently half slave and half free, Kennedy stated that \u201ctoday I am convinced that the basic issue which faces the American people and, indeed, the people of the world, is whether the world can exist half slave and half free, whether it will move in the next decade in the direction of freedom or whether it will move in the direction of slavery.\u201d\nBut this speech was not just about coopting a famous Lincoln quote. Instead, Senator Kennedy invoked the legacy of Lincoln, even though he admitted that might be strange coming from a Democrat. \u201cSome may say that a Democratic candidate for the Presidency has no right to invoke the name of Lincoln. I disagree. Abraham Lincoln belongs to the ages, and he belongs to all Americans, regardless of their party,\u201d Kennedy said to great applause. He then proceeded to explain that outside of Lincoln, Republicans had no great president to refer to, since even Theodore Roosevelt left their party.\nLater, he stated that the three best qualities of Lincoln\u2019s presidency \u2014 leadership, courage, and foresight \u2014 would be the key qualities of the next president. Citing the example of Lincoln\u2019s leadership, courage and foresight to sign the Emancipation Proclamation, on January 1 1863, Kennedy argued that this \u201cLincoln tradition\u201d did not extend itself to someone who wants to limit the minimum wage, Federal aid to education, and medical care for the elderly \u2014 i.e. his opponent Richard Nixon.\nLastly, he quoted Lincoln\u2019s last words upon leaving Springfield in 1861, and ended his speech by echoing words of the Gettysburg Address: \u201cwe come here tonight and dedicate ourselves to this country, dedicate ourselves to its future, dedicate ourselves to moving this country forward again.\u201d\nRead the entire speech here: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=60377.\nCategories: Archive, History Tags: Abraham Lincoln, John Kennedy, Springfield",

        "raw_content": "Michael Baxley\nArkansas has the third best cost of living in the United States thanks in large part to the affordability of housing.\nAsk anyone who\u2019s here and they\u2019ll tell you Arkansas is a wonderful place to live, raise a family and, in increasing numbers, retire.\nWith its mild weather, stunning natural beauty, exceptional health care options and down-home easy pace, Arkansas is suited to a growing number of retirees and relocatees.\nTo these benefits, add another important consideration \u2014 cost of living \u2014 which is substantially below neighboring states and cities that are more typically associated with retirees. In fact, U.S. News & World Report's \u201c2018 Best States\u201d report ranks Arkansas as the third-best state for cost of living in the country, thanks in large part to affordable housing.\n\u201cActive adults and retirees benefit from the fact that Arkansas is [one of the] least expensive states,\u201d says April Findlay, a realtor in Little Rock. \u201cThe median home prices are much less expensive than in the rest of the United States, and property taxes tend to be relatively low, too.\u201d\nAs recent figures show, Arkansas stands out from its neighboring states for cost of living, particularly when it comes to real estate \u2014 the median home price is $114,100. In Florida, by comparison, the average selling price was $346,000, per Florida Realtors, and according to North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, median sales price for that state was $249,000.\nArkansas ranks No. 5 in the country on U.S. News & World Report's list of \"Best States for Natural Environment.\"\nWhat $375,000 Buys You in Arkansas | Why Military Vets Love It in Arkansas\nMORE FOR LESS, MORE FOR LONGER\nArkansas and its cities are nationally recognized for being a value for families looking to upgrade their quality of life (with the same amount of income) and for hopeful retirees seeking to stretch their savings for more years. Forbes ranks Bella Vista number 2 on its most recent list of \u201cBest Places to Retire,\u201d and CNBC reports $1 million goes further in retirement in Jonesboro (37 years), making the city ninth best in the U.S.\nIt doesn't end there. Niche lists Little Rock as having the 64th best cost of living among all cities in the country; the capital city also ranks 61st on their list of best places to retire. Bentonville also made the list; it\u2019s touted as the 23rd best place to buy a house in America. Another interesting finding by U.S. News & World Report showed that Fayetteville offered relocatees more for their money \u2014 residents typically only spend about 25 percent of their income on living expenses. And after housing costs are paid for, Little Rock residents typically keep more than 74 percent of their household income in their pockets.\nGREAT VALUE MEETS GREAT OUTDOORS\nThe disparity between even Arkansas\u2019s more expensive areas and those cities listed as \u201cmost desirable places to retire\u201d is more glaring.\nIn the fast-growing part of the state, Fayetteville, Rogers and Bentonville\u2019s median home prices run between $210,000 and $230,000. That\u2019s less than all but one of the communities listed on MarketWatch\u2019s latest most popular retirement cities list, including the likes of Naples, Fla.; Charleston, S.C.; Asheville, N.C. and Austin, Texas.\nbest cost of living in the U.S.\nbest quality of life in the nation\nbest for job growth\n\u2013U.S. News & World Report \u201cBest States\u201d\n\u201cNorthwest Arkansas has always been attractive to retirees, but we\u2019re seeing an influx with the expansion of various health care systems, more shopping options, restaurants, social activities,\u201d says Mel Reed, an executive broker in Bentonville.\n\u201cNorthwest Arkansas is much more affordable than the traditional retirement communities like Florida and Arizona. Not only do you get more real estate for your money, it also comes with in-state attractions such as four beautiful seasons, state parks and outdoor activities as well as easy day trip options.\u201d\nIn the other parts of the state, the value proposition is even greater. Arkansas\u2019s famed natural beauty and great outdoors attract many people looking to while away their Golden Years hip-deep in a trout stream or other Ozark Mountain amenities. This is bringing a steady stream of retirees to quaint locales such as Flippin, Mountain Home and Harrison.\n\u201cI\u2019d say 75 percent of my clients are from out-of-state looking for large acreage close to fishing,\u201d says Telicia Wade, a real estate agent in Flippin. \"We also have excellent hospitals with state-of-the-art advancements and top doctors making us a true retirement community.\u201d\nRetiree dollars go a long way in these quiet, wooded areas, with median home price ranging from about $150,000 to $182,000 depending on the community.\n\u201cMost of our retirees are transplants from other states,\u201d Wade says. \u201cThe latest trend is coming from California and Texas; last year it was Texas and Florida due to the hurricanes.\u201d\nBentonville encourages an active lifestyle with a variety of bike trails and recreational amenities, which is partly why the city is among the top 25 places to buy a house in the U.S.\nCATERING TO RETIREES\nArkansas further ups the value proposition thanks to two planned communities catering specifically to seniors. These locations \u2014 Bella Vista and Hot Springs Village \u2014 combine very reasonable real estate with incredible amenities such as multiple golf courses, lakes and community activities all in one place.\nHow Arkansas's cost of living stacks up:\nUsing \u201c100\u201d to represent the national average, Arkansas is more affordable in every cost of living metric.\n\u2022 Overall 83\n\u2022 Housing 61\n\u2022 Health 90\n\u2022 Utilities 93\n\u2022 Transportation 93\n\u2022 Grocery 95\n\u201cBella Vista is the best kept secret in the USA,\u201d says Lou Kaufmann, a principal broker in Bella Vista. \u201cNorthwest Arkansas is the fifth fastest growing metropolitan area in the U.S. At the present time, a home on the nicest lake in the (Bella Vista) area will run about $115 per square foot to $130 per.\u201d (The national average is $150 per square foot, according to HomeAdvisor.)\nBeing so close to the corporate centers in Rogers and Bentonville has made Bella Vista a bedroom community for these places. Today, half of the population is under 50 and only 40 percent are retired. Getting younger has meant Bella Vista has increased services to suit growing families while still keeping home prices much lower than around the country.\nHot Springs Village, a privately owned POA, still caters to retirees first (although this community has also seen its share of families move in) while surrounding residents with an array of included amenities and outdoor fun surrounding nine golf courses and 11 recreational lakes.\nSandy Carle, a realtor and sales manager in Hot Springs Village, put the median of homes at Hot Springs Village between $150,000 and $200,000. This price point makes the lake community appealing to out-of-state retirees who prioritize scenic beauty and an active lifestyle but need value.\n\u201cRecent surveys are showing the vast majority of Village residents are coming from other states,\u201d Carle says. \u201cI was asked recently why more folks are not moving here from Arkansas, I said ,\u2018They haven\u2019t seen it, or they would!\u2019\u201d",

The LMT is currently scheduled to begin scientific observations in the spring of 2013. The LMT will operate in this initial phase as a 32-m diameter telescope with a passive surface, and consequently this first call for Early Science proposals will be restricted to astronomical targets that are available within a limited range of telescope elevations. The Early Science programme will have a duration of approximately 11 weeks during the months May to July 2013. It is expected that the successful observations will result in the first refereed journal publications that demonstrate the scientific value of the LMT with an emphasis on scientific topics for which the LMT provides a unique capability. The active control of the primary reflector surface will be introduced and commissioned later this year, offering a broader range of feasible projects in future calls for proposals.\nThe first call for Early Science projects is made with the understanding that all successful proposals and scheduled observations are considered as \u201cshared-risk\u201d. During this first period of scientific observations the LMT user-community should be aware that the feasibility of the proposed observations may change due to differences in the instrument sensitivities and the efficiency of the telescope performance compared to those that are advertised in this call. Early Science observations may be rescheduled or cancelled according to the need for additional commissioning and engineering activities.",

        "raw_content": "You can choose to have a repeat year or a record year. The choice is yours.\nI was caught up in a lot of negativity, limiting beliefs and stress for a while. Scary, but it actually felt normal for me. It wasn\u2019t until the emotional build-up became so heavy that I realized there was a better way.\n\u201cThe way\u201d is back to yourself. Your happiness, success and peace of mind depend on YOU. It\u2019s not in what you think, it\u2019s in how you feel and it starts by knowing and honoring yourself.\nReflection is your ticket back to the self you\u2019ve lost. It comes with time. It\u2019s a practice but once mastered, it gets easier and easier to wander back to your true path.\nWhy is self-reflection so important?\nUnderstanding: Reflecting on your life circumstances and outcomes help you understand yourself better. You can\u2019t change what you aren\u2019t aware of. Giving yourself time to reflect whether it\u2019s on a challenge or to check in, offers space for understanding and the RIGHT answers to flow in. Understanding yourself and your circumstances, without judgment, enhances your relationships and strengthens your connection within, which leads to a more fulfilled life.\nClarity: Reflection helps so much with clarity. By being able to understand your circumstances, you are able to judge what feels right and what no longer does. This will help you make better choices towards the life you want instead of the life you\u2019re used to. When you start to ask yourself the right questions and sit with what comes up, life starts to make more sense. It\u2019s usually clear [NOT ALWAYS EASY] to understand which choice is best or which direction you should take when you make time to reflect.\nFocus: When you are aware of \u201cyour stuff,\u201d often the problem is being the change you seek. This happens because you have been so used to one way of being. In other words you are stuck in your comfort. It all boils down to choice. You have the power to choose differently in any moment. You can choose a different thought, belief, or action. When you know what\u2019s working or what no longer is, reflection helps by offering a refreshing focus point. By realizing what you don\u2019t want for yourself, you can quickly re-focus on all that you do want. It\u2019s about perspective and that power lies in your hands.\nFosters strength and confidence: Reflection takes bravery. You are choosing to confront it all and that means the tough stuff like your emotions, challenges, flaws, mistakes, and failures. It\u2019s easy to avoid and take on poor habits but that\u2019s not a path of growth. Growth is proportionate to reflection. When you are aware of why you see, think, believe and act the way you do, you have no choice but to confront it. As you confront what is challenging you, it is automatically transforming you. Self-reflection builds strength and confidence. You are better because of it. Acceptance on this journey is a must.\nSelf-reflection is an important tool. It helps you discover who you are in each moment. It can change your life. It changed mine.\nSee how important self-reflection is? If you\u2019re ready to get started on this journey, I\u2019m offering a free 12-page reflection guide and you can scoop yours up down below this post. This guide will help you get clear and confident before heading into an epic 2017! Are you ready to take the action steps necessary this year to build the life you\u2019ve always imagined?\nGET YOUR GUIDE RIGHT HERE:\nFindnig this post has solved my problem",

        "raw_content": "A couple of years ago, people had no idea how words could redefine business. With the digitisation of the world, anything seems to be possible. Words now govern how high you soar in terms of profits you make. Online presence is becoming a mandate to generate revenue these days. With this, advertising has experienced one of the biggest changes ever since its inception.\nA background about AdWords\nGoogle AdWords is nothing but an advanced extension of cookies. It is an online service developed by Google. It involves advertisers paying to display their brief advertising copies and product listings to users. All of this within the Google network.\nEarlier this year, Google announced that they were introducing a new feature to the AdWords interface namely Notes. The feature has now arrived and here is how you can get going with it. In case you are wondering how you can avail this feature, then this is what you need to know. Notes can be availed at an account, campaign, and ad group levels.\nHow to use the new feature\nQuite like Google Analytics, notes are added by just clicking on a certain point on the performance chart. The moment you click on a point on the chart, you will get an option that reads, \u201cAdd Note\u201d. Since you opt for it, it will pop in a window that will allow you to add the note you wish to add. The character limit in this feature is not mentioned.\nHowever, for what it is worth, there is enough space for you to get your message across. And that is pretty much the whole purpose of enabling the notes feature. The good thing about this feature is the ability to edit the date in case you have entered the wrong date accidentally. The window that pops out when you click the \u201cAdd Note\u201d option allows you to do that.\nAdvantages of AdWords Notes\nThe merit of this feature primarily is that anyone with access to the AdWords account can view the note. How would the accessing the accounts know that you, or anyone for that matter, have left a note behind? Whenever you leave a note behind, a grey box below the chart comes up. This denotes the existence of a note on the chart. By clicking on this box, the note appears right where the person left the note on the chart. Not just that, but it also then gives you an option to add another note. It also provides an option to view all the notes that are added to the chart.\nTo make things simpler, Google also gives you an option to \u201cSee all Notes\u201d. This brings up a sidebar listing all the notes created on the account. You can filter this based on campaigns and group level notes. Each note is an individual card and the date on which it was added is displayed on the card.\nAdding notes to the chart increases communication and helps analyse charts better with your colleagues. This enables better judgement of the data at hand. This leads to devising better strategies. In turn, it could help you, when it comes to running a lucrative online ad campaign.\nTags Adwords AdWords Notes digital advertising digital marketing Google Adwords google updates PPC\nPPC Match Types \u2013 What Difference Can They Make?\nPaid Search & SEO \u2013 Complementary Angles of Any Digital Marketing Campaign\nInformative blog!

Before his conversion, Paul found himself as angry as that. He was angry at the community of Jesus because everything they did, they did to glorify God, just as Jesus had demonstrated. That was UNJUSTIFIED ANGER.\nPaul the Pharisee, was angry that the community of Jesus were gaining strength. He was angry that they were making converts, and that many Jews were now following The Way. The Way of course referred to the teaching, the life and the ministry of Jesus. At that time Paul was a bully who spread confusion, disagreement, sarcasm and disapproval as he terrorised the community of Jesus.\nPaul however learned to see beyond that unjustified anger. It was through his experience on the road to Damascus, and his learning more about The Way, that he himself was transformed. In time, he became a new person. Those he had terrorised couldn't believe it at first, but Paul's transformation made him, an encourager, an affirmer, one who built people up, an enabler, a worshipper. In 1 Thessalonians 5:11 he tells the church \"Encourage one another and build up each other\". Paul was able to see the value of doing every single thing for the glory of God. Every thing from the simplistic to the most profound.\nAs the community of Christ, do we do every single thing to glorify God?\nLook at what Paul wrote:\nSo, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.\nAs church, do you do everything for the glory of God? As individuals do you conduct yourself as a member of the community of Jesus for the glory of God? Are you an encourager and an enabler? Are you encouraging each other to build God's community up? And are you angry with yourself when you step back and discover that you are doing the opposite of that? As the community of Jesus, are you angry with each other for not building one another up? And if you are THAT is JUSTIFIED ANGER!",

She said the animal \u2013 a black French bulldog - was in a carrier and the woman initially put it under the seat in front of her, but a flight attendant said it was blocking part of the aisle.\n\u201cAfter the flight attendant asked her to move it above, the woman adamantly refused, communicating her dog was in the bag,\u201d she told the magazine. \u201cThere was some back and forth before finally the flight attendant convinced her to move the carrier to the bin above.\u201d\nThe dog barked on and off for about 30 minutes of the flight, she said, but then fell silent. It was found dead when the plane landed in New York and the owner opened the luggage bin.\nThe owner, she said, appeared \u201cabsolutely shocked and heartbroken\u201d. The flight attendant then came, appeared \u201cfrazzled\u201d and said she had not known there was an animal in the carrier, she added.\nAnother passenger, June Lara, wrote in a public Facebook post of the moment it was clear the dog had died.\n\u201cThere was no movement as his family called his name,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI held her baby as the mother attempted to resuscitate their 10-month-old puppy. I cried with them three minutes later as she sobbed over his lifeless body.\u201d\nIn a statement, United said this was \u201ca tragic accident that should never have occurred, as pets should never be placed in the overhead bin. We assume full responsibility for this tragedy and express our deepest condolences to the family and are committed to supporting them.\u201d\nUnited said it was investigating what happened to prevent it from ever happening again.\nAccording to United\u2019s in-cabin pet policy, a pet must be carried in an approved hard-sided or soft-sided kennel which must fit completely under the seat in front of the customer.",

The man initially refused, telling the dentist that the tooth was giving him no problems and on a previous visit a dentist at the same clinic had unnecessarily removed one of his teeth. The dentist insisted on removing the tooth and the victim finally succumbed to the pressure. The irony was the dental procedure triggered numbness in the jaw and excruciating pain. The hapless man went back to the dental clinic after a few days where he was given painkillers that were of no consequence. Six months later the numbness had spread to other parts of his mouth and he lost his sense of taste. To make matters worse, his speech was affected.\nThe man approached the dentist again to complain about the emerging problems and was told that the dentist\u2019s duty was just to remove the tooth; any further health-related complaints were to be taken to Parirenyatwa Hospital. He then went to Parirenyatwa Hospital and where he was informed, to his horror, that the tooth had in fact not been removed. , It had been broken and he now needed further treatment in the form of nerve grafting. The man approached the LRF for legal assistance . A letter was sent to the head office of the medical institution with a demand of $4,985 in damages to cover future medical expenses and for pain and suffering. Initially, the institution denied responsibility arguing that by agreeing to the medical procedure the man had accepted all associated risks . The institution also alleged contributory negligence by the man, which was not supported by facts.\nOn 1st February 2017 the LRF proceeded to issue summons against the dentist and the institution at which stage the medical company proposed an out-of-court settlement of the matter and undertook to compensate the man in full by the end of April 2017.\nThe relieved man has since acknowledged receipt of $4,985. He expressed appreciation of the LRF\u2019s intervention, saying:",

        "title": "How to effectively explain why you have gaps on your resume | News, Sports, Jobs - Maui News",
        "raw_content": "Job gaps happen, because life happens. Maybe you\u2019ve gotten laid off (or even fired). Maybe you took some time off from working to attend to personal matters, like a health issue, or caring for a child or family member. Our careers aren\u2019t always constant, linear paths. But unfairly or not, having gaps can put you at a disadvantage against other candidates that have been working constantly in the field, picking up steady experience and a continuous progression through the ranks.\nLet\u2019s explore how to maximize your resume to show that you\u2019re just as qualified, gaps and all.\nConsider whether you should mention it at all.\nIf the gap happened in the past, and you\u2019re currently (or recently) employed, then you don\u2019t need to talk about your gap at all unless asked. Don\u2019t jump the gun just because you\u2019re anxious about it\u2014your interviewer might not even bring it up!\nSure, a few fake dates may go unnoticed by the resume reader. But they might not. And if your hiring process involves a background check, or you get tripped up when talking about your experience in person at a job interview, it\u2019s going to be an embarrassing (and likely costly) mistake. If you\u2019ve been out of the workforce for two years, acknowledge that fact, potentially in your cover letter, always emphasizing that you\u2019re ready to jump back in.\nIf an interviewer asks you why you left your last job (which is a while ago) and you happen to have lost your job, it\u2019s okay to admit that. People get the downsizing factor\u2014it happens to most people at some point. But again: emphasize that your skills and experience have grown and that you\u2019re excited about this new opportunity.\n\u2026but finesse dates if you have to.\nInstead of using specific months of employment, go with the year. You won\u2019t be able to hide a gap of a year or more that way, but if you\u2019ve been out of the game for more than a few months but less than a year, it can be easier to obscure that to the reader.\nBe careful of the kind of information you reveal about your gap.\nThis applies especially if you took time off to have a kid or had a medical issue in the past. Interviewers aren\u2019t allowed to discriminate against you on the basis of family status or physical disability, which means they can\u2019t ask you about those things. If you go ahead and mention them yourself, though, then you\u2019ve opened that door. So, it\u2019s important to tread carefully. Instead of saying, \u201cI took some time off to treat my clinical depression,\u201d say something vague like, \u201cI took time off for a family health issue, but now that things are better I\u2019m so ready to put my store manager hat back on.\u201d\nTweak your resume format.\nNot every resume has to have the traditional job experience + skills + education format, with your work experience moving backwards chronologically. If you\u2019re trying to set a narrative for your resume around a gap in employment, put your skills up front, taking care to spotlight ones that directly relate to the job at hand. The hiring manager needs to know, first and foremost, that you\u2019re a good fit for the job. So you can make that connection easier if you show that you have the skills.\nIf you have a fairly long work history, in the experience section you can emphasize only the most relevant jobs (\u201cRelevant Work Experience), omitting ones that are way back or just not very applicable to this new job. That way, you\u2019re not setting the expectation that every bit of your work experience is listed on the resume.\nLook for other kinds of experience to highlight.\nMaybe you volunteered while you were out of work. Maybe you took classes in coding that bumped your skills up to the next level. Look outside the usual job experience bullet points to show that you may have a gap, but you haven\u2019t been totally out of it. Anything you can use to show that you\u2019ve been building in the meantime will help you make the case that you\u2019re ready to seize this new opportunity.\nSo if you have a gap on your resume, don\u2019t despair. It can feel intimidating to know you\u2019re up against people who don\u2019t have the same issue, but always remember that you\u2019ve got great experience and skills. It\u2019s all about showing how you plan to use those to overcome whatever challenges have come your way.\nThe post How to effectively explain why you have gaps on your resume appeared first on TheJobNetwork.",

On the other hand, a theory that ignores what actually happens in people's lives and focuses exclusively on what they think about their life is not tenable either.1\nIn 2010, both Egypt and Tunisia were achieving remarkable economic gains, with real GDP growth rates of 5.1 and 3.5 percent, respectively. These had been preceded by even higher growth rates, reaching up to 6 and 7 percent, respectively, in the second half of the 2000s. Both countries were applauded by international organizations such as the World Bank (WB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for their achievements in the period preceding the uprisings. Tunisia was singled out as \"the best student\u2026in the region.\"2 Therefore, the uprisings of late 2010 and early 2011 in both countries might seem contradictory \u2014 if we limit our analysis to macroeconomic indicators. But at the very moment these variables were being applauded by international organizations, around 28.5 percent of Egyptians and 21 percent of Tunisians were dissatisfied with the standards of living they had to endure.3 In fact, numerous surveys reveal a similar picture: resentment and dissatisfaction with the quality of life and a feeling of deteriorating living conditions.\nRecent research in social psychology emphasizes the importance of including both objective and subjective measures in order to have a valid assessment of a society's well-being.4 By objective, I mean official statistics published by government agencies; by subjective, I mean people's perceptions of their well-being.5 While some might think that the Arab uprisings took almost everyone by surprise, to those who have studied subjective data, they were a manifestation of what was festering underneath the surface. Despite the appreciation both countries were receiving from various international organizations, their reports lacked any critical assessment of how people felt about their general quality of life. Numerous reports and data extracted from various survey sources (Gallup reports, Arab Barometer and World Values Survey) reveal resentment and frustration in both countries (especially among the youth) toward their economic and social conditions.\nRecent research in economics, psychology and sociology has demonstrated that it is quite possible to have discrepancies between objective and subjective measures. In fact, research shows that, in spite of the fact that income distribution in countries such as Germany, France and Switzerland is quite similar, perceptions among their respective citizens vary widely.6 Further, people in the United States tend to hold a far more optimistic view when it comes to inequality within their country.7 Lastly, perceptions of inequality might be a more significant predictor of social policy than official statistics.8\nThis significance of integrating both objective and subjective data has also been on the radar of Nobel Prize-winning economists such as Joseph Stiglitz and Amartya Sen. Stiglitz, Sen and Jean-Paul Fitoussi9 published a revealing report \u2014 commissioned by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy \u2014 assessing what had gone wrong with our economic assessments following the 2008 financial crisis. They concluded that there is a dire need to reflect people's subjective well-being when assessing the quality of life within a given country. This was clearly not a priority for either the Tunisian or the Egyptian government. With relatively high and steady economic growth and decent inflows of foreign investment, both governments were confident they were on the right track \u2014 so much so that both the WB and IMF noted them as case studies of countries successfully managing globalization challenges.10 Table 1 below indicates GDP growth rates and FDI inflows during the period from 2000 to 2012 in both countries.\nReal GDP Growth Rates and FDI in Egypt and Tunisia (2000-2012)\nSource: World Bank Development Indicators.\nThis research aims to draw from survey resources \u2014 World Values Survey, Arab Barometer, Gallup reports \u2014 in order to track and describe changes in perception that were taking place in both countries in the years preceding the revolution and compare these results with official macroeconomic indicators. Results show a stark divergence, highlighting the significance of incorporating subjective well-being measures in any sound analysis of prosperity.\nThis research is novel in several ways. Whereas most previous research focused on a combination of economic, political and social factors (unemployment, inflation, food insecurity, political oppression, corruption, etc.), this research integrates both objective and subjective measures of well-being. Second, it helps fill in a gap in research conducted using qualitative measures such as surveys. Third, it offers policy makers an integrated approach that might yield more accurate results.\nTHE ECONOMIC CONTEXT OF TUNISIA AND EGYPT\nDespite the vast difference in the size of their populations, Tunisia and Egypt experienced relatively similar economic problems. Egypt's population has recently surpassed 100 million; Tunisia's is just above 11 million. Both countries embarked on similar nationalist agendas after gaining independence from their respective British and French occupiers in the early and mid-1950s. This was evident in their centrally planned economies with huge investments in the public sector \u2014 health and education \u2014 and relatively generous social policies aimed at income redistribution.11\nAs Tunisia's oil resources began to be depleted by the mid-1980s, in parallel with sluggish demand from Europe and therefore a reduction in exports, the government sought solutions from the IMF. The country then embarked on some liberalization programs to balance its budget \u2014 by cutting down on food subsidies, for example.12 This decision was met with severe resistance from the population; many people were killed during the infamous riots of 1984. The state later retreated in order to curb people's frustrations.\nBroadly speaking, Tunisia suffers from gross regional inequality, with a huge geographical divide favoring the prosperous northern and eastern areas over the impoverished inland and westerns regions.13 The west and midwest were being deprived of the economic benefits allocated to their prosperous neighbors, who were highly dependent on tourism and usually receive the most foreign investment.14 Strikingly enough, they highlight that by 2010, around 90 percent of newly created jobs were being generated in the major coastal areas, with 95 percent of FDI being concentrated there. However, this is not to say that the western areas received no government assistance. In fact, evidence shows that they did get economic support, though \"an unequal share of the development process.\"15\nUnfortunately, neoliberal practices adopted in Tunisia exacerbated this regional divide, constantly favoring the north and east and leaving other parts impoverished.16 In fact, a general overview of poverty rates and unemployment levels reveals some striking results. On the eve of the uprising, poverty rates in the midwest were more than three times as high as in the northeast; the poverty rate was 9.1 percent in Grand Tunis compared to 32.3 percent in the midwest.17 In addition, unemployment rates across different regions were relatively high, ranging from 9 up to 23 percent, with the southwest, southeast, midwest and Sidi Bouzid scoring the highest rates. The figures are even more disturbing once we compare unemployment with education levels. The sector with the most unemployment is young people with higher education rates, up to 40.2 percent in Sidi Bouzid, where the initial spark of the Tunisian revolution took place.18 This divide is also reflected in Gini indices, with between-inequality increasing from 1990 to 2000 while within-inequality decreased slightly.19\nFinally, corruption has also taken a huge toll on the Tunisian economy. Gelvin20 indicates that neoliberal practices exacerbated crony capitalism in its worst forms, with the ruling family deeply involved in the business sphere, favoring their relatives and acquaintances with privatization buyouts and other practices. However, it is worth noting that, despite the challenges of neglect and corruption, the Tunisian economy achieved the remarkable growth rate of nearly 5 percent over the last four decades.21\nEgypt faced similar economic challenges. By the late 1970s, a decrease in oil prices (and therefore in revenues from oil exports) accompanied by a reduction in workers' remittances from the Gulf countries forced the country to negotiate with the IMF. In fact, Gelvin22 indicates that Egypt was able to receive a credit line of $450 million along with a postponement of $12 billion of foreign debt in return for implementing some austerity measures. Cuts in subsidies for basic foodstuffs led to the infamous bread riots of 1977, which were ended through the deployment of the army. As in Tunisia, the state later backtracked and restored the subsidies.\nEgypt depends heavily on four sources for its foreign reserves: tourism, Suez Canal revenues, workers' remittances, and trade with Europe. Despite the country's massive potential, its huge population has always meant exponentially increasing demand for education, healthcare, housing and, of course, jobs! Around 40 million Egyptians live on less than $2 a day. Youth unemployment soared to almost 43 percent before the 2011 uprising, the highest number being those with college degrees.23\nEgypt has witnessed two liberalization periods in the last 20 years. The first occurred in the early 1990s, and the second in 2004 with the appointment of the cabinet of ministers. Following the economic and structural-adjustment policies of the WB and IMF in 1991, Egypt began loosening controls on markets, privatizing companies and divesting itself from crucial sectors such as agriculture and housing. The results were devastating. First, per capita social expenditure as a percentage of GDP declined from 34 percent in 1982 to 20 percent in 1990 and to 16 percent in the first half of the 2000s.24 Second, a large number of firms privatized throughout the 1990s25 with grave consequences for their workers. In fact, the wages and benefits of millions of workers were held back.26 Some analysts estimated the number of workers laid off due to privatization to be in the range of 500,000-800,000.\nThe post-2004 period saw the accumulation of feelings of frustration and resentment across a wide spectrum of Egyptian society. The appointed neoliberal government of that time was happy to cut red tape and boost Egypt's potential by encouraging privatization and attracting more foreign investment. Despite overall improvements in several macroeconomic indicators (most famously, GDP growth rate and FDI inflows), unemployment remained a major obstacle to any substantial economic development, especially among college graduates.27\nAs in Tunisia, corruption in Egypt exists at almost every level, and the cabinet of ministers appointed in 2004 seems to have exacerbated this phenomenon. As Lesch28 states,\nThey [ministers] sold significant portions of the public sector for their personal benefit and decreased public investment in agriculture, land reclamation, housing, education and health. In turn, they promoted private investment in rarely successful export-oriented agriculture, [and] the construction of gated communities for the elite\u2026.\nDespite official income inequality being generally low, feelings of relative deprivation and unfairness were festering underneath. Moreover, there exists a sharp critique when it comes to the Gini coefficient. For example, Alvaredo and Piketty29 explain that data extracted from household surveys (whether income or expenditures) tend largely to underestimate the extent of inequalities. Second, Milanovic30 adds that elite classes in many cases tend to refuse to be interviewed or sometimes understate their actual incomes. Third, as Palma31 explains, \"the most commonly used statistics for inequality [the Gini coefficient] is one that is best at reflecting distributional changes where changes are least likely to occur!\" Finally, the Gini coefficient does not take into account wealth inequality, which is typically known to be more severe.32 This last factor is quite substantial; some recent reports indicate that the top 10 percent in Egypt owns more than 70 percent of the country's total wealth, up from 65 in 2007.33\nIn sum, a combination of factors aggravated economic challenges in Egypt over the last two decades. Liberalization programs advocating privatization and neoliberal practices accompanied by ever-decreasing investment in vital sectors led to economic benefits largely concentrated among the elite, but soaring unemployment rates among young college graduates.\nBroadly speaking, improvements in both the Tunisian and Egyptian economies did not produce the \"trickle-down\" mechanism long advocated by neoliberals. Benefits were largely concentrated in specific regions and among certain social classes. Thus, one can say that, despite progress reflected in objective measures (official metrics and indicators), subjective measures were lagging and even deteriorating.\nWHAT INFLUENCES PERCEPTIONS?\nThe fields of sociology and social psychology have long addressed the issue of perceptions in an attempt to explain individual differences. Darby and Branscombe34 highlight why people perceive income inequality differently. First, groups use different reference points. As Milanovic35 says, \"When people observe each other and interact, it is no longer simply a national yardstick that they have in mind when they compare their income with the income of others, but an international or global one.\" Second, the exact meaning of a certain phenomenon might generate different connotations. Moreover, failure to identify one's position within the income distribution leads to an underestimation of inequalities, a flaw that has long been recognized by sociologists.36\nTherefore, it is important when measuring well-being to take into account relativity rather than absoluteness. In addition, it is crucial to recognize that people base their expectations on these perceptions. Hirschman and Rotschild37 elucidated this phenomenon with the famous tunnel effect: people's current status depends not only on their current condition (income, welfare or other indicators), but also on their future expectations. Improvements in the overall condition of others means higher expectations, while difficulties encountered by others translates into lower ones. In the case of income inequality, people base their perceptions on what economists call the \"relative income hypothesis\" and sociologists call \"relative deprivation.\"38 People base their judgments on how they feel relative to others and not in absolute terms.\nAnother famous explanation for divergence between perceived notions and actual events is illustrated by James Davies.39 He analyzed the outbreak of several revolutions, such as the Russian (1917) and the Egyptian (1952), by what he called the J-Curve. He indicates that \"revolutions are most likely to occur when a prolonged period of objective economic and social development is followed by a short period of sharp reversal.\"40 Whereas the effect in the theory of social conflict proposed by Hirschman and Rothschild41 comes about with the passage of time with no specific stimuli, the J-Curve hypothesizes that a sudden downturn tends to increase the gap between what people want (future expectations) and what they actually get. The intolerable gap leads to the outbreak of revolutions. I will illustrate in the next section how this materialized on the ground in both Tunisia and Egypt.\nWHAT THE INDICATORS TELL US\nDespite the wide availability of macroeconomic indicators, survey data addressing people's perceptions are not similarly available. I use data here from three sources: the World Values Survey (WVS), the Arab Barometer (AB) and Gallup Reports.42 Data are far more available for Egypt than for Tunisia. Further, Gallup Reports is the only source that provides data for both countries before and after their respective revolutions. The Arab Barometer only provides data for both countries after their revolutions though at two different time points: 2011 and 2013. Finally, the World Values Survey offers data before and after the revolution in Egypt only; in Tunisia, the only available data were gathered in late 2013.\nDivergence of Measurements\nAs indicated earlier, both countries were achieving remarkable economic growth, reflected in their GDP per capita prior to the uprisings in late 2010 and early 2011. By contrast, the percentage of people \"thriving\" plummeted during the same time, as indicated in both Figures 1 and 2. Typically, Gallup categorizes people as \"thriving,\" \"suffering\" or \"struggling\" based on the Cantril Self-Anchoring ladder.43 This scale assesses well-being ranges from zero at the bottom to 10, with the top figures reflecting the best possible life for the respondent, both currently and in five years' time, while the lowest figures indicate the worst possible life.\nRecent Trends in Percentage \"Thriving\" and GDP per capita (PPP) in Egypt (2005-10)\nSource: Clifton and Morales (2011).\nIn both cases, the message is quite clear. Despite vivid improvements in GDP per capita as indicated by the incline of the darker line, subjective data reveal a plummeting trend illustrated by the lighter line. It is worth noting here that this lighter line only reflects deterioration among the \"thriving\" cluster within society \u2014 not the \"struggling\" or \"suffering\" sectors that would probably have shown an even more dramatic difference. In sum, deteriorating perceptions indicate a negative attitude for people towards their immediate situation as well as their expectations for five years to come.\nThis pessimism is further supported by data from WVS for Egypt. Looking at people's satisfaction with their lives as a whole as well as their financial situation for the years 2001, 2008 and 2011, we can observe the following. In general, feelings of dissatisfaction have increased, while feelings of satisfaction dropped. This echoes a message from previous Gallup reports. Deteriorating economic conditions, rising inflation, high unemployment rates and rising inequality might all have contributed to increasing feelings of dissatisfaction.\nRecent Trends in Percentage \"Thriving\" and GDP per capita (PPP) in Tunisia (2005-10)\nPeople's dissatisfaction with life (and their financial situation) largely dropped after 2001, indicating some perceived improvements in their satisfaction levels. However, these also dropped after 2011. One possible explanation is that, on the one hand, there was a clear improvement in various macroeconomic indicators (GDP growth rate, FDI, etc.) that probably raised expectations about the future and about people's economic situation, in general. While these improvements were not really felt on the individual level, satisfaction levels also dropped. We can observe some clear spikes in both satisfaction and dissatisfaction in the early years (a more polarized situation) compared to a smoother and more homogenous situation later. In fact, Hussein and Heshmat44 explain that declining levels of happiness and satisfaction among Egyptians during the late 2000s remains a major challenge for the government.\nA final aspect in the WVS data is related to perceptions of income inequality. The question asks whether income should be made more equal or whether larger differences in incomes are needed as incentives. The results illustrated in Figure 3 are very telling. First, we see an evident increase in the feeling that incomes should be more equal across the years. There is almost a tenfold increase from 2001 to 2012, reflecting how starkly people's perceptions changed. In fact, Verme45 emphasizes that, from 2000 to 2009, both income and expenditure data reveal a similar story: a decline in the standard of living, which might explain the change in Egyptians' views. In addition, this period witnessed huge increases in prices for both energy and food, making people more concerned with their immediate financial situation. Ironically enough, he also adds that, during the same period, different inequality indices (including the Gini coefficient) show that inequality did not increase. This goes back to the very early notion of how statistical measures and people's perceptions did not move in tandem in the case of Egypt. In addition, emphasis on economic growth is further supported by additional data from WVS emphasizing that people's major concern in 2008 was \"fighting rising prices\" and that the main aim of the country should be to \"maintain a high level of economic growth.\" Both indicators therefore clearly indicate people's concern with their immediate financial situation and their emphasis on economic growth as the most important goal for their country.\nShould Incomes Be More Equal? (Egypt)\nSource: World Values Survey (1999-2004; 2005-2009; 2010-2014).\nAnother point worth mentioning here is that, while GDP per capita grew by 22 percent during the same period, microdata show that household income and expenditures increased by only 7 percent, explaining some of the discrepancy observed between the general macroeconomic condition and people's own conditions and subsequent perceptions of their financial situation.46 In fact, as Verme47 explains, large benefits from growth in GDP were mostly \"retained by institutions,\" while, despite increases in wealth in both public and private sectors, the typical household did not feel this increase in their daily lives. Consequently, feelings of relative deprivation, and maybe frustration, were widespread, as reflected in people's dissatisfaction with their financial status and their views on income inequality. There was a clear increase in the demand for incomes to be more equal. Unfortunately, data for Tunisia are only available for the year 2012, but they do not reflect a very pessimistic view. A larger portion of the population argues for greater income differences as incentives. However, given the lack of a temporal dimension, it is impossible to assess whether this is considered to be an improvement or a disappointment compared to previous years. In addition, as indicated earlier, most of the measured inequality in Tunisia seems to arise from inequality between different regions, while inequality within a region has, in fact, decreased.48 This might explain the rather optimistic view Tunisians had towards inequality.\nHow Would You Evaluate the Performance of the Current Government in Creating Employment Opportunities? (Top: 2011; Bottom: 2013)\nSource: Arab Democracy Barometer Wave II 2010-2011; Arab Democracy Barometer Wave III 2012-2014.\nDid Governments Learn from Experiences?\nAs indicated earlier, data are available through the Arab Barometer only for 2011 and 2013 \u2014 after both revolutions. However, they still provide some insights into how immediate perceptions differed from those collected two years later. In this regard, I will be looking at five different aspects: 1) how people evaluate the current economic situation in their country, 2) what people expect the economic situation to be in 3-5 years, 3) how people evaluate the performance of the government in creating employment opportunities, 4) how people evaluate the performance of the government in narrowing the gap between rich and poor, and 5) what people consider the most important challenge in the Arab World.\nBroadly speaking, people's moods became quite pessimistic between 2011 and 2013. A growing segment in both countries described the economic situation in 2013 as \"very bad\" (in Egypt 56 percent up from 29 percent in 2011, and in Tunisia 53 percent, up from 25 percent in 2011) compared to \"bad\" in earlier years. This merely reflects the fact that people's aspirations for significant economic improvements did not materialize as time passed. Therefore, their frustration with their economic situation grew.\nFurther, as indicated at the beginning, a major culprit in both revolutions was staggering unemployment rates, especially for the youth. People of both countries had high hopes that their respective governments would be able to generate sufficient jobs to absorb high unemployment rates. However, a growing segment of the populations in both countries evaluated government performance in creating employment opportunities in 2011 as \"bad\" and in 2013 as \"very bad\" (Figure 4). A similar trend is revealed when respondents are asked about the government's role in narrowing the gap between rich and poor.\nOne of the most striking results is illustrated in answers related to the most important challenge in the Arab world: an overwhelming number (almost 90 percent in both countries) classified the economic situation as the most important challenge in 2013, up from 40 percent in 2011. Financial and administrative corruption came in second, at almost 10 percent; the remaining challenges almost faded away in 2013 (Figure 5). This concurrence on economic conditions is supported by evidence from WVS data, suggesting that both governments have yet to pay attention to deteriorating rates of satisfaction, and that both might be ripe for another \"Spring.\"\nWhat Is the Most Important Challenge in the Arab World? (Top: 2011; Bottom: 2013)\nBroadly speaking, both Tunisia and Egypt witnessed favorable macroeconomic conditions in the last two to three decades. However, these improvements did not \"trickle down\" as promised by neoliberal economists and government officials of both countries. At the same time, growing feelings of frustration and deteriorating living conditions were building up for huge segments of both societies until they exploded in the form of mass uprisings. In general, available survey data indicate declining satisfaction levels, particularly relating to economic conditions. This highlights a vast divergence between objective and subjective measures of well-being.\nThe events culminating in the Arab Spring indicate the significance of assessing both subjective and objective data. Ample research has shown that in numerous cases the two tend to diverge, and that sometimes subjective data might be a better predictor for assessing well-being. When implementing social and economic policies, governments need to take seriously how people perceive various issues in order to be able to produce more effective policies. It will not be enough to focus exclusively on official data.\n1 Daniel Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011), 410.\n2 Kenneth Perkins, A History of Modern Tunisia (Cambridge University Press, 2004), 197.\n3 Clemens Breisinger, Oliver Ecker, Perrihan Al-Riffai, and Bingxin Yu, Beyond the Arab Awakening: Policies and Investments for Poverty Reduction and Food Security (IFPRI, 2012).\n4 Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow.\n5 Carina Engelhardt and Andreas Wagener, Biased Perceptions of Income Inequality and Redistribution (CESIFO Working Paper No. 4838, 2014).\n6 Judith Nieheus, Subjective Perceptions of Inequality and Redistributive Preferences: An International Comparison (IW-TRENDS discussion papers 2, 2014).\n7 Michael I.

Epithelial malignant mesothelioma is also common in the peritoneum of the abdomen. This is caused by the ingestion of asbestos that enters the air. Fifty to seventy percent of malignant mesothelioma is considered epithelial malignant mesothelioma.\nEpithelial mesothelioma is a more rare form of cancer affects the membrane lining the chest cavity, heart, lungs and abdominal cavity.\nThere are three forms of epithelial mesothelioma:\nThe most common, Pleural Mesothelioma\nThe second most common, Peritoneal Mesothelioma (accounting for only a quarter of the cases)\nThe rarest form, Pericardial Mesothelioma.\nIn most epithelial mesothelioma the patients who develop it were generally exposed 15 to 40 years before hand, which often makes the time and place the disease was contracted difficult to determine.\nThe symptoms of epithelial malignant mesothelioma that affect the lungs include shortness of breath, persistent cough, pain in the chest, and viral pneumonia symptoms. Many patients are asymptomatic. The right lung is affected sixty percent of the time, the left lung thirty five percent, and both lungs are affected in five percent of epithelial malignant mesothelioma cases.\nA person who has been exposed to asbestos for one or two months has the potential to develop epithelial malignant mesothelioma or other asbestos related illnesses up to fifty years later. Mesothelioma has a long latency period. Once diagnosed the prognosis is often bleak. The average patient has a year left to live after they discover their condition.\nThe vast majority of epithelial mesothelioma cases are the result of asbestos exposure. Indeed, one of the most frustrating aspects of this type of cancer is that patients who develop it were generally exposed 15 to 40 years before hand, which often makes the time and place the disease was contracted difficult to determine. It is because these symptoms are so generic that epithelial mesothelioma is rarely detected early on. Usually when its discovered it is already in an advanced stage and treatment options, particularly localized options such as surgery, are somewhat limited.\nIf the cancer is in a less advanced stage, aggressive surgery treatments can be sought. Aggressive treatments are treatments aimed at curing the mesothelioma or at least increasing the patients longevity. In some cases an extrapleural pneumonectomy can be performed to try to stop the spread of the mesothelioma.\nMalignant Deciduoid Mesothelioma\nMalignant deciduoid mesothelioma, a rare phenotype of epithelioid mesothelioma, arises more commonly from the peritoneum of young women, but it is also reported in the pleura of elderly people. Malignant deciduoid mesothelioma (MDM) is a recently characterized variant of epithelial malignant mesothelioma that closely simulates exuberant ectopic decidual reaction.",

        "raw_content": "Home Delivery of Fresh and Healthy Meals\nI\u2019m 24 years old and recently graduated from college and started a new job. I have my own apartment now and am finding out what it is like to live on my own. Most of my time is taken up with work and I find myself eating out more often than I should. I need to find a way to eat clean and fresh foods to help encourage a healthy lifestyle for myself. This would mean no more fast food carry out or stopping at the local pub for fish and chips. I know I can do this and have made up my mind to make it happen.\nMy sister told me about a local company that provides healthy meals with only the freshest ingredients available. She went on to tell me that depending on your wants and needs they have several meal plans to choose from. All you have to do is place your order and it is delivered to your house the following day. How much easier could that be? I decided to look up this company and see for myself what they have to offer. I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw when I pulled up their website and wanted to know more about them.\nAfter looking over information about this company I was convinced to give them a try. I went ahead and placed an order for the lean meal plan and am eagerly waiting for it to arrive tomorrow. I really like the idea that the meals are fully prepared and all I have to do is heat them up. This is going to be perfect for taking a healthy meal to work for lunch. I have no doubts that this is what I need to start taking care of myself by eating healthier.",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Tim Conway and Ernie Anderson: Are We On?\nConducted by Paul Weston\nWITHIN THE PAST FEW YEARS, an ever increasing emphasis has been given to the folk music of America. Not only are the performances more numerous, but there is also a growing recognition that this music\u2014which America has sung and danced to for generations\u2014is an integral part of our native culture of which we may well be proud.\nFolk music comes to us in many forms\u2014work songs, spirituals, jigs, reels, sea chanties and cowboy songs. But of all of these, none are more beautiful and poignant than the ballads most often heard in the Smoky Mountain country of Kentucky and Tennessee. These melodies, while simple in form, require an interpretation calling for a rather distinct type of talent.\nThe preparation of these songs is not just the work of a few weeks. Over a year ago, Miss Stafford first sang \u201cHe\u2019s Gone Away\u201d on her own radio show. The response was instantaneous and this song was requested more often than any other performed by her that season. This suggested the idea of an album of folk music, and the work necessary to its preparation was begun, with Jo Stafford and Paul WEston choosing six songs from the hundreds available and comparing the many versions of each one which differ both musically and lyrically from one locale to another. (For example, there are over a hundred different interpretations of \u201cBarbara Allen\u201d alone, with no two exactly the same!)\nPurists may object strenuously to the presentations of these songs with any accompaniment other than the traditional guitar, but after hearing the records, the listener will agree what the simplicity and loveliness can be preserved and even enhanced by the tasteful use of strings and woodwinds. In the arranging of these songs, Paul Weston has been most careful to preserve the modal form characteristic of each individual melody, and in the orchestration has used only the instruments to be found in a modern symphony orchestra, believing that these interpretations should be styled in such a manner that they might be acceptable in any concert of American music.\nBarbara Allen (2:42)\nHe\u2019s Gone Away (2:58)\nBlack is the Color (2:44)\nPoor Wayfaring Stranger (2:44)\nRed Rosey Bush (2:50)\nThe Nightengale (2:56)\nCopyright 1948 \u2014 Capitol Records \u2014 Made in U.S.A.\nThis entry was written by djwudi, posted on March 10, 2011 at 5:02 pm, filed under 1940s, music and tagged 1940s, 1948, 78 rpm, jo stafford, music.

Post a comment or leave a trackback: Trackback URL.\nCan you tell me what the box set is currently worth?\nEdward ONeill\nThis is a terrific album. Stafford\u2019s approach to jazzy standards can be a bit detached, although that works well when the mood is melancholic. But this early folk album is superb. Peggy Lee also did an album of Sea Shanties that bordered on this territory. That\u2019s another early harbinger of the later folk movement.",

(Irv) Nelson: Very Good Tools\nThe Civilian Conservation Corps camps were well equipped with all necessary tools and equipment, and enrollees were given the opportunity to learn how to use them safely. Alfred E. (Irv) Nelson wrote about the work done at Rabideau, Camp 708 near Blackduck, Minnesota, and recounted how dangerous it could be.\n\"After they had their breakfast and made up their barracks, the boys were all mustered out in the muster area and then the Forestry would assign crews and men to different sites and different jobs.\"\n\"Oh, they went out building roads, planting trees, road cleanup, surveys, fighting fires of course, and general forestry work - some cutting wood to bring back for the Army for cooking and heating.\"\n\"Well, when it got down to a certain degree below - I don't just recall what it was - I believe it was around 30 degrees. Why then they wouldn't send us out unless it was something that just had to be done. They'd keep us in camp if it got too severely cold.\"\n\"At the school they had a safety class that all of the rated men had to attend, and it was optional for some of the rest of us to attend these safety meetings. Well, we had a first aid class for the rest of us, but the rated men and foresters all had to attend this class once a week on safety and they were very safety-minded and we went through with a minimum of accidents. Some of them couldn't be helped - we had as I recall one of the boys lost his hand - he ran it into a belt on a saw rig and he lost the use of his entire arm but it pulled his hand out at the wrist. At that time it was one of the most terrible things.\"\n\"It all belonged to the Forest Service and we had very good tools. We had our boys who kept them all sharp and took care of them. They were checked out to you, and you checked them back in, always with your name on. They were charged to you. Course they had cross-cut saws; they didn't have any chain saws or anything like that. The only power saw we had was a gasoline saw rig that they sawed up the blockwood for heating the camp. Shovels, axes, cross-cut saws, cant hooks, PVs, comealongs, and hand tools of about every kind and description. They had a very thorough set of tools.\"\nCivilian Conservation Corps workers building road near Roosevelt, 1933.\nCivilian Conservation Corps fire fighters in northern Minnesota, 1933.\nBrush hook used by the Civilian Conservation Corps, 1933-1942.\nCCC timber grappler.\nPhoto: Civilian Conservation Corps Company 1761, building a road near Bemidji, ca. 1935.\nPhoto: Roadside cleanup by Civilian Conservation Corps, 1939.\nPhoto: Civilian Conservation Corps fire fighters, northern Minnesota, 1933.\nObject: Cant hook used by the CCC, 1933-1942.\nObject: Peavey tool used in lumbering, ca. 1900.\nNelson, Alfred, E.

        "raw_content": "Divorcee wins 90 per cent of husband's wealth in bitter court battle\nA businesswoman who dumped her career to become a \"conventional housewife\" has had the last laugh on her \"high-earning\" ex-husband - after being left with the whole of their family fortune by a divorce judge, reports The Telegraph.\nCompany boss, Peter Morris, has nothing but his \"anger\" to show for 25 years of marriage after a series of court rulings.\nJane Morris, 52, a stay at home mum, was \"criticised\" by her high-flying ex for not bringing more money in after they split, having quit her career as a recruitment consultant to keep house for him and their three children for 20 years.\nLondon's Appeal Court heard that Mr Morris, 51, \"took credit\" for the \"high standard of living\" the couple enjoyed in their \u00a31.2m cottage in the Chiltern Hills.\nBut the couple's \"extravagant\" spending, both during their marriage and after their \"bitterly contested\" break-up in 2013, brought them \"to the brink of financial disaster\", reducing multi-million-pound family assets to just \u00a3560,000.\nDivorce judges have handed Mrs Morris, 52, almost half a million pounds while her husband has been left with nothing, despite him being the only breadwinner in their family for nearly two decades.\nNow, in a fresh blow to the software tycoon, his ex-wife is trying to have him jailed for failing to keep up with maintenance payments.\nThe court heard that the couple enjoyed quarter of a century of married bliss in their four-bedroom detached house, set in extensive gardens in Princes Risborough, Bucks, whilst their two younger children boarded at a \u00a330,000-a-year public school.\nMrs Morris, who was praised by divorce judge, Glen Brasse, as having been a \"competent and effective operator\" during her pre-marriage career, \"stayed at home to look after the home and care for the children by agreement with her husband.\"\nMr Morris, the managing director of a software company with a seven-figure turnover, who earned up to \u00a3240,000-a-year, was said to have \"considerable business acumen.\"\n\"The wife and family have relied on him considerably in the past for his expertise in producing a good standard of living for them,\" Judge Brasse said.\nThey enjoyed \"expensive holidays\" and showed \"exceptional generosity\" in lavishing gifts of cars, holidays, horses and expensive birthday parties on themselves and their three children.\nWhen their marriage hit the rocks and they split in 2013 their \"extravagant\" spending continued unabated.\nThe husband's lifestyle in particular \"continued as a very affluent affair\", with Mr Morris \"taking himself\" on six holidays in the space of nine months,whilst \"huge and pressing debts\" mounted up.\nThat care free spending backfired when Judge Brasse ruled that, due to their profligacy, only enough money remained in the pot to meet the core housing and day-to-day needs of the wife and children.\nHe handed almost half a million pounds to Mrs Morris, whilst giving the husband just \u00a366,000.\nIn July last year another judge, Judith Hughes QC, ordered the husband to fork out \u00a377,000 for unpaid maintenance and other debts \"from his share\", effectively leaving him with nothing from the marriage.\n\"The husband has had the money to pay the maintenance but has failed to prioritise it and has spent sums instead on himself and his enjoyment,\" Judge Hughes said.\nMr Morris had criticised his wife's own expenditure, and \"vented his anger\" pointing out that she had spent \u00a35,000 on a 50th birthday party for herself after they split.\nHe also \"criticised her for not earning more, having re-entered the labour market\" since they separated.\nBut Mrs Morris was ruled to be \"a sensible woman\" who was \"probably in need of emotional and psychological comfort\" during her own spending sprees.\nJudge Brasse at the Central London Family Court agreed he had made a \"substantial departure from authority\" in handing 90% of the family assets to a stay-at-home wife.\nBut he said Mrs Morris \"needs adequate maintenance\" because sacrificing her career had left her with a \"low earning capacity...in her middle fifties with rusty skills.\"\nHe also pointed to \"the husband's very substantially larger earning capacity into the future\" and his bigger pension pot.\n\"It is self-evident that not all the needs of the parties could possibly be met in full, or even substantially, from the available resources so the parties expectations have to be scaled down.\n\"Some of their needs will have to be prioritised over others. The priority must be given in my judgement to the housing of the wife and children,\" he concluded.\nMr Morris now has a six-week prison sentence hanging over his head, which Judge Hughes imposed for non-payment of maintenance but suspended to give him a chance to pay up.\nHe is now challenging that sentence, and the financial outcome of the divorce generally, in the Court of Appeal.\nMr Morris appeared to represent himself in court, but Lady Justice Black adjourned the hearing for him to obtain a legal aid barrister, saying that his \"liberty is at stake.\"\nThe case will now return to the Court of Appeal at a later date.",

A brief content about the battle that has been always among the wealthy and the educated, from the financial point of view mainly.This recommendation is essential for the development of our economic intelligence and that of our financial future. Continue reading Ten in mind that this article has been written based on the book by Robert Kiyosaki and which I recommend reading compulsorily to take advantage of everything of value that it contains topics of business and entrepreneurship. () It is not that the people in D I quadrants are not educated because many have a great education; It\u2019s just that D and I were not the academic luminaries in the school and they were not trained in graduate schools as they were the lawyers, accountants and masters in business administration. Follow others, such as Ben Silbermann, and add to your knowledge base.\nWhat really does not like educated people or educated acedemicamente (lawyers, doctors, etc) is not that rich or have financial freedom have not been educated or Yes, but they studied and sacrificed many years of their lives to get a simple job that in addition to being unsafe does not meet your expectations. But in reality this is not the most important thing, the rich know how to use financial leverage \u2013 and they take great advantage of it. () For those of you who read my book rich dad, poor dad, know that you it\u2019s the struggle between the educated and the rich. () \u2013 While a person of the left side of the quadrant is studying more to get a better job that supposedly improves its financial problems, a person on the right side is studying to augment their assets, and most importantly: is taking action. It is always good to educate themselves in the financial field for better financial results and economics-obviously. That way are able to improve our way of life and be in conditions to be able to help others to also find their own financial freedom, while us continue making us richer for this reason.\nPosted in: GeneralTagged: all entertainment Thank you theme",

        "title": "CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Apotheosis",
        "raw_content": "Home > Catholic Encyclopedia > A > Apotheosis\n(Greek apotheosis, from, and theos, deify).\nDeification, the exaltation of men to the rank of gods. Closely connected with the universal worship of the dead in the history of all primitive peoples was the consecration as deities of heroes or rulers, as a reward for bravery or other great services. \"In the same manner every city worshipped the one who founded it\" (Fustel de Coulanges, The Ancient City, III, v). Because of the theocratic form of their government, and the religious character which sovereign power assumed in their eyes, the peoples of the great nations of the Orient \u0097 Persia, Chaldea, Egypt \u0097 paid divine honours to living rulers. Hero-worship had familiarized the minds of the Greeks with the idea that a man by illustrious deeds can become a god, and contact with the Orient made them ready to accept the grosser form of apotheosis by which divine honours were offered to the living (Boissier, La religion romaine I, 112). Philip of Macedon was honoured as a god at Amphipolis, and his son, Alexander the Great, not only claimed descent from the gods of Egypt, but decreed that he should be worshipped in the cities of Greece (Beurlier, De divinis honoribus quos acceperunt Alexander et successores ejus, p. 17). After his death, and probably largely as the result of the teaching of Euhemerus, that all the gods were deified men, the custom of apotheosis became very prevalent among the Greeks (D\u00f6llinger, Heidenthum und Judenthum, 314 sqq.). In Rome the way for the deification of the emperors was prepared by many historic causes, such as the cult of the manes or the souls of departed friends and ancestors, the worship of the legendary kings of Latium, the Di Indigetes, the myth that Romulus had been transported to heaven, and the deification of Roman soldiers and statesmen by some of the Greek cities. The formal enrollment of the emperors among the gods began with Caesar, to whom the Senate decreed divine honours before his death. Through politic motives Augustus, though tolerating the building of temples and the organization of priestly orders in his honour throughout the provinces and even in Italy, refused to permit himself to be worshipped in Rome itself. Though many of the early emperors refused to receive divine honours, and the senate, to whom the right of deification belonged, refused to confirm others, the great majority of the Roman rulers and many members of the imperial family, among whom were some women, were enrolled among the gods. While the cultured classes regarded the deification of members of the imperial family and court favorites with boldly expressed scorn, emperor-worship, which was in reality political rather than personal, was a powerful element of unity in the empire, as it afforded the pagans a common religion in which it was a patriotic duty to participate. The Christians constantly refused to pay divine honours to the emperor, and their refusal to strew incense was the signal for the death of many martyrs. The custom of decreeing divine honours to the emperors remained in existence until the time of Gratian, who was the first to refuse the insignia of the Summus Pontifex and the first whom the senate failed to place among the gods.\nPHELLER, R\u00f6mische Mythologie, 770-796: BOISSIER, La religion romaine, I, 109-186; MARQUARDT-MOMMSEN R\u00f6mische-Staatsverwaltung, II, 731-740; VI, 443-455; BEURLIER Essai sur le culte rendu aux empereurs romains (Paris, 1890).\nAPA citation.

We\u2019ve agreed that the allowances for heads of departments, teachers in charge, acting allowances and others should be reviewed,\u201d said Deputy Minister Moyo.\nHe said they also agreed that invigilators\u2019 allowances, which are paid by Zimsec should also be reviewed adding that committees have been set up to come up with figures for consideration by the Government.\nThe Deputy Minister acknowledged that the allowances might be less than what the teachers expect but reiterated the Government\u2019s commitment to meet their demands.\n\u201cThe Government is trying and I would like to appeal to the teachers to appreciate Government\u2019s efforts. We should work together towards our mandate of providing education to the children and promote development in the country,\u201d said Deputy Minister Moyo.\nHe said teachers should give dialogue a chance and be patient with the Government as negotiations continue.\n\u201cIn any environment, we should be guided by principles and there are processes towards achieving results. We should appreciate that the results are not instant and as such teachers should be patient.\n\u201cThe purpose of a strike is to highlight concerns of an aggrieved party and call for dialogue, \u201c said Deputy Minister Moyo.\nHe said it therefore defeats logic for workers to stay away from work when there\u2019s dialogue already.\nThe Deputy Minister said the Government understands that the cost of living had risen sharply but teachers should be sensitive to the plight of their pupils.

The exercise was part of a training from the National Emergency Response and Rescue Center at Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) held in March at Norwalk City Hall. (contributed photo)\nNORWALK, CT - No one wants to spend time thinking about natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and other large-scale events that could put us in danger. However, the Norwalk Health Department does just that, and not just during National Preparedness Month in September. Our staff works year-round with partners and volunteers to get ready for public health emergencies. NHD creates plans, conducts trainings and drills, and coordinates with other agencies to ensure we can respond in the event of an emergency.\nIn the past 2 years, the Health Department has recruited and trained more than 70 volunteers to join our Emergency Response Team (ERT). The ERT is a diverse group of adults who live or work in Norwalk or New Canaan and help Health Department staff prepare for and respond to public health emergencies.\nERT is recruiting its next cohort of members. If you\u2019re interested, contact Donna Schlegel at (203) 854-7979 or dschlegel@norwalkct.org for more information.\nIn March, the Health Department brought experts from the National Emergency Response and Rescue Center at Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) to Norwalk to conduct a training to help us plan and prepare to distribute medications to thousands of residents in the event of an emergency. The training included classroom instruction, as well as several interactive exercises meant to simulate challenges and complications that arise in a real emergency. A total of 43 people participated, including most of the Health Department staff, six ERT volunteers, and representatives from the Norwalk Police Department and the towns of New Canaan and Darien.\nERT volunteer member Steve Bayliss explained that preparedness begins with training and awareness, and he believes the session with TEEX in March enhanced the ERT\u2019s effectiveness.\nTrainers from the National Emergency Response and Rescue Center at Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) address Norwalk Health Department staff, volunteers, and partners about public health emergency response at a training held in March at Norwalk City Hall. (contributed photo)\n\u201cI\u2019m truly appreciative of the Health Department offering us the opportunity to participate and learn from leading edge providers in National Emergency Response,\u201d said Bayliss. \u201cIt was a great learning experience, and it helped us to build critical relationships with members of other important city agencies we would be interacting with during an actual emergency.\u201d\nIn August, the Health Department and volunteers took the training one step further and practiced setting up a \u201cpoint of dispensing\u201d (POD), a location where medication would be distributed to citizens in the event of a health emergency. The drill focused on transporting, setting up, and testing all the equipment needed to run a POD, from laptops to power strips to clipboards and directional signs. In total, 18 Health Department staff members and 20 ERT volunteers participated in the drill. Afterward, all participants met to review the team\u2019s performance, identify strengths, and suggest areas for continued improvement.\n\u201cThe POD drill gave us insight into our team\u2019s readiness to respond to emergencies and identified ways to strengthen and improve our procedures and plan,\u201d said Glenn Iannaccone, Public Health Emergency Response Coordinator.\nOf course, the Health Department works with many other partners in Norwalk and throughout the state to plan and coordinate our response. For example, the Department is a member of the regional Healthcare Coalition. In addition, the Health Department is a member of the City\u2019s emergency management team and coordinates with representatives from the Fire Department, Police Department, EMS, and others.\nEven with all this planning and preparation, the Health Department and its City partners in emergency response need your help, too. Of course, we welcome adults to join the ERT.\nEven if you can\u2019t volunteer, you can take steps to prepare at home.\n1. Visit Us this Saturday at the Library. Health Department staff member Donna Schlegel will be at the Main Branch of the Norwalk Public Library this Saturday, September 15 from 11 am \u2013 1 pm to get information about preparing for an emergency.\n2. Check out Dispense Assist. This online screening tool can be used in some public health emergencies to get needed emergency medication to you more quickly. Visit www.dispenseassist.net or the Dispense Assist app, familiarize yourself with the tool, and register.\n3. Sign up for alerts. Sign up for the City\u2019s Code Red system and the Notify Me section of the website to get breaking emergency information and Health Department News. You can also follow the Health Department on Facebook and Twitter (@Norwalk Health) to get health news and updates.\n4. Make a plan, stock supplies, and build a \u201cGo Kit.\u201d The best time to think about and plan for an emergency is before it happens. Be prepared with food and safe water, basic supplies, medications and medical supplies, and the personal items you need to protect your health in an emergency or in the event of an evacuation. For more information:\nMake a plan: https://www.ready.gov/make-a-plan\nBuild a kit: https://www.ready.gov/build-a-kit\nPersonal health needs: https://www.cdc.gov/phpr/prepareyourhealth/PersonalHealth.htm\nAbout the Norwalk Department of Health: Under the direction of the mayor, and with valuable guidance from its six-member Board of Health, the Norwalk Health Department provides a variety of services and programs to fulfill its mission: to prevent and control the spread of disease, promote a healthy environment, and protect the quality of life within its changing community. The Department\u2019s Public Health Emergency Preparedness Division works to ensure that the City of Norwalk responds effectively to natural disasters, bioterrorism and other emergencies that could affect the health of the public. The Health Department achieved accreditation through the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) in June 2014, demonstrating that it meets or exceeds national public health standards and commits to continuously improve the quality of the services it delivers.

        "title": "Certificates of Compliance",
        "raw_content": "Selling your house? You\u2019re going to need a number of certificates of compliance before you do - and it\u2019s just as well to get them done before you even put your property on the market.\nSome of them (electrical certificates, electrical fence certificates) are required under national regulations; some (water certificates) under municipal by-laws; and some (beetle certificates) have become accepted practice - but, said Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, \u201chaving them all in order will ensure a smooth, hassle-free property transfer process.\u201d\nELECTRICAL CERTIFICATE:\n\u201cIt\u2019s compulsory to be in possession of a valid Electrical Certificate of Compliance (ECOC) when selling your home\u201d said Adrian.\nThis is a provision of the Electrical Installation Regulations which came into effect in 2009 under the Occupational Health And Safety Act (No. 85 of 1993).\nAlthough the ECOC is valid for a period of two years, it\u2019s only necessary to have the house inspected when it\u2019s to be sold: you don\u2019t need to have it done as long as you plan to remain in possession of the property.\nAdrian said that the document \u201cverifies that the electrical work and installations that have been completed on the property are up to standard in accordance with the regulations as required by the South African National Standards.\u201d\nWhile the certificate covers distribution boards, wiring, earthing and bonding of all metal components (include antennae and satellite dishes), as well as wall sockets, light switches and the isolators of fixed appliances, it doesn\u2019t cover the fixed appliances themselves (geysers, stoves, motors, fans, under-floor heating.\nIf you\u2019ve installed electric fencing as a security measure, you\u2019ll need an Electrical Fence System Compliance Certificate, too. This is a separate certificate since it falls under the provisions of a separate set of regulations: The Electrical Machinery Regulations of 2011 (also issued under the Occupational Health and Safety Amendment Act, No. 181 of 1993.).\nAdrian noted, though, that the regulations don\u2019t apply to electric fences installed prior to 1 October 2012 - unless you\u2019re preparing to sell.\n\u201cAs with an ECOC, this certificate is required where additions or alterations to the system have been undertaken, or when a change of ownership of the property takes place.\u201d\nHe said that the system has to be certified by an approved installer and that, as with ECOCs, certification is valid for two years.\nIf your property is situated within Cape Town\u2019s municipal area, you\u2019ll need to know that the City\u2019s Water By-law (which came into effect in 2010) requires you to be in possession of a Certificate of Compliance of Water Installation before transfer can take place.\nAdrian said that is designed to limit water wastage, and to protect buyers both from latent defect claims, and from high water bills due to leakages.\nAmongst others, certification covers the water meter (does it start registering when a tap is open, and stop completely when all taps are closed?); the correct installation of water cylinders; and the correct discharge of storm water (which mustn\u2019t go into the sewerage system). It also ensures that the potable water supply is completely separate from any grey water or groundwater systems.\n\u201cIt\u2019s important for buyers to bear in mind that a water installation certificate is not a plumbing certificate, and that it doesn\u2019t cover all aspects of the home\u2019s plumbing - nor does it cover any leaks from waste or sewer water or drainage,\u201d said Adrian.\nGAS COMPLIANCE:\nIf your home\u2019s fitted with gas appliances, you\u2019re going to need a Gas Certificate of Conformity in order to comply with the Pressure Equipment Regulations of the Occupational Health and Safety Amendment Act (the regulations came into effect on 1 October 2009).\nThis certificate is valid for a period of five years. It certifies that your gas installation is in a safe, working condition, that emergency shut-off valves have been correctly installed, and that the system is free of leaks.\nBEETLE CERTIFICATE:\nNot, not your membership of the fan club of THAT group from the 60s -and, like your choice in popular music, there\u2019s no actual law that requires you to provide the buyer with a beetle certificate of clearance which shows that your property has been inspected and found to be free of the bugs that attack structural timber.\nBut it does show that you\u2019re serious!!",

        "raw_content": "The photographs here on occasionalphoto.com are the result of many hours of heartfelt effort. If you were at one of the events with us, you surely remember seeing the crazy person with the camera bouncing around from place to place. Taking the pictures is the fun\u2014and quick\u2014part. It's after the shoot that the real time investment begins. At a typical event, between 150 and 500 photographs are taken each hour. The end result is usually between 300 and 2,500 photographs that need to be processed following each event.\nPost processing all of those photos takes time. First, all of the photos must be uploaded to the computer and then each one must be examined for quality. Every effort is made to take a great picture every time but the reality is that only about 20-40% are really worth keeping. (And that's on a really good day when no significant mistakes are made!) Even at only 2 second per shot, just looking at the photos and throwing away 80% of them takes more than half an hour. That's the easy part.\nEach of the remaining photos need to be looked over in detail. Adjustments are made to improve the quality of each photograph. Fixing the white balance (getting rid of any green florescent casts or yellow incandescent casts, cropping the photos to improve the composition, adjusting the exposure, contrast, highlights, and shadows, and spotting to remove significant blemishes and imperfections. This cleanup process usually takes between two and four minutes per photo. Let's see, 20% of 1,000 photos is 200 photos. At two and a half minutes per photo, that's 500 minutes or eight and a half hours. So, we're up to nine hours of post processing.\nAfter all of the selections and corrections have been made, it's time to create any prints, upload the images to the website an create a photo CD for the event sponsor. The image files need to be exported in a format that can be used and then uploaded to the printer, the website and/or burned to the CD. This can take as little as a half hour but often the uploads will take several hours. Thankfully, the uploads can take place unassisted.\nSo, all in all, there is about 12 hours of work that goes into taking and processing the photographs that you see here. When you add in the cost of the camera equipment and any prints that are produced, there's a lot of time and money invested. We feel that the investment is worth it because of people like you who are interested in seeing, and owning, good, quality pictures of yourself and your loved ones.\nIf you would like to help support these photographic efforts, please feel free to visit our gallery and purchase some prints. The photographs can be downloaded for free, however, every purchase helps to make my efforts worthwhile. It's great to have people saying \"thank you\" and knowing that they really appreciate the efforts.",

        "raw_content": "Exploring Oman Front Stories Weekend\nA saga of legacy at Bait al Ghassani\nDhofar is full of history and the evidences of its richness in the past are evident everywhere. An observer\u2019s vision to look into takes them to the old houses which are spread all over the old dwellings in the centuries old establishments in Mirbat, Taqah and Salalah.\nMusallam al Mashani\nOne such building in Salalah is under renovation by its current owners, who are not only successful businessmen but also philanthropists and have taken many initiatives for the community\u2019s social and cultural empowerment.\nBait al Ghassani is one of the many old houses, which reflect the richness of Dhofari people some 200 years ago, their way of life and economic and social activities. In Arabic \u2018Bait\u2019 stands for \u2018house\u2019 and Ghassani is the family name coming from generations.\nThe house is undergoing renovation under the supervision of Musallam al Mashani for the last two years and is nearing completion. An archaeologist by profession, Musallam takes pride in being an Omani, its history and culture.\nMore than that, he loves to know the history of his grandparents and great grandparents and their contemporaries.\nSo much so that sometimes he himself lifts the equipment and starts digging.\n\u201cThis I found from the master bedroom of the house owner,\u201d says Musallam while showing some Omani sticks and make-up items of women. \u201cI look at things differently\u2026 the decoration pieces might not be very expensive, but for me they are more precious than gold, because they belong to my grandparents and great grandparents,\u201d he says.\nHe looks at things in that perspective while restoring the old houses. Musallam contests the word \u2018renovation\u2019 for ancient houses and calls the ongoing work at Bait Ghassani as \u2018restoration\u2019. \u201cIn renovation you are free to do anything according to your choice and comfort, but in restoration you do not have any choice but to restore the original spirit of the house. It cannot be hundred per cent original due to the house\u2019s dilapidated condition, used materials etc, but we try to meet the challenge of being very close to the original and this is the beauty of our work.\u201d\nBuilding a three-storey house including ground, first and second floors would have been really a difficult task some 180 years ago. The resources, materials and the technology adopted to build the house reflect the prosperity side of the house owners.\nThe structure reflects that the house was fulfilling both residential and commercial purposes as the ground floor of the house had very few windows and was likely used as store for business purposes. A shop like provision with a transaction window very close to the stores suggests the business activity being undertaken from the house.\n\u201cWhile doing the restoration we have made provisions for ventilation leaving scope for the visitors to understand the original structure. The number of rooms on all the floors remains the same, nine rooms with provisions of bathroom and kitchen,\u201d says Musallam.\nWhile doing the restoration Musallam has ensured that the original pockets in the walls, to keep lamps or other day-to-day things, are maintained with some modifications.\n\u201cModifications were in the form of material only, as we did not play with their sizes and shapes. Moreover we are trying to use original wooden doors as much as possible. Some of them are broken. In that case we are recreating new doors with same design,\u201d Musallam said.\nSome doors are so strong that they are intact despite buried under dust and trash for so many years. Musallam admits that when he started the restoration work, some portions of the house were not even visible.\nThe house has almost been restored and likely to be converted into a private museum of the Al Ghassani family of Salalah.\n\u2190 Previous China\u2019s trade boom hits speed bump as Dec imports growth slows sharply\nLakers stop Spurs for 3rd win in row Next \u2192\nPrivate sector investments to spur growth\n28/07/2018 Vinod Nair Comments Off on Private sector investments to spur growth\nEnsuring the Protection of Civilians\n26/10/2018 Oman Observer Comments Off on Ensuring the Protection of Civilians\nInternational artists depict Oman on canvas\n14/08/2017 Lakshmi Kothaneth Comments Off on International artists depict Oman on canvas",

        "raw_content": "Riddle of the Wicked Magician\nPosted by laup under Discussion, Meditations, Movie Madness, Outbreak, Weirdie\nPossible spoilers for The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, so ahroo!\nStanding before the doors to the haunted house, My Mirage whispers to myself. \u201cBefore you can be granted admittance, you must uncover the identity of the wicked magician.\u201d\nI think about what kind of items I might need should I manage to get inside. The haunted house could be hazardous!\nThe goddess Athena once said to me in a dream, \u201cYou must take up a sword.\u201d I thought that was preposterous, since I don\u2019t do swords. A year later, in a waking dream, the unknowable explained to me she meant a pen. I was just too dense to understand her.\nI\u2019ve been writing and drawing all my life, but I begin to get it, faintly. I need to take up the pen and write and draw with intent. I must take action. It is no longer enough for me to do it unconsciously. I have been doing it more consciously the last two years. However, I need to know this as well as do it with intention.\nI try to decipher the symbolism behind the slapstick, the torch, the wand. I\u2019m carrying not so much a stick as a feminine spirit lent to me by the Dark Goddess. I\u2019m performing not so much the part of Punch as a generic dum-dum on a ridiculous adventure.\nWhile thinking about the past, Xtine pulls free another stone to reveal more me (without consciously realizing it). In a way, in another time and place, I had a puffed up image of myself as the Grand Magician. I thought I knew what I was doing. Much as Koura the wicked magician in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad. Alas, as Xtine points out this guy is so way not eating with both hands.\nI wonder about the man in black who follows Koura around. We are meant to think of him as the sensible apprentice to Koura. He certainly knows what is what. \u201cIf you continue on this way master, you will die.\u201d Then I think of the oracle\u2019s words about an evil son and wonder who the oracle is talking about \u2013 Koura or the \u201capprentice?\u201d We are supposed to think Koura, of course, but when you are on a ridiculous adventure, layered meanings can spring from anywhere.\nI\u2019m thinking about an old Batman and Robin comic, where they fight Benedict Arnold. The old traitor comes back from the dead to break the soul of the country by defeating two of its greatest heroes. A weird dude follows him around the whole time, granting Benedict Arnold powers. Only at the end when the traitor is defeated does the weird dude reveal himself to be Old Scratch (the Devil).\nSo is that \u201capprentice\u201d dude really an ordinary guy hoping to advance himself by serving the bad guy, or is he symbolic of the possession of Koura by an evil force? Thinking about it, I decide that on a symbolic level he must represent what is left of Koura\u2019s conscience. He is always the \u201csane\u201d bad guy, trying to get Koura to be more reasonable, more down to earth.\nIt is telling that the apprentice is ordered away near the end of the film \u2013 Koura has the upper hand (or so he believes) and he no longer needs his \u201cconscience\u201d to keep him alive \u2013 indeed, soon after he goes off on his own, Koura starts to die rapidly as the dark magics finally catch up with him!\nBut me? No way, not no how. Couldn\u2019t happen to me! Like Koura, I thought I was getting the forces of the world to move at my whim. Kali gettin\u2019 down for me? Har! That\u2019s Shiva, dumb-butt, and your face is about to be used as reactor shielding.\nThen I get it. Koura was the sultan (read: king). He \u201ckilled the sultan\u201d (who always seems to be referred to in a present sense, as if he were still alive somehow), in the sense that he killed himself with his pursuit of dark magic. Much as Saruman in Lord of the Rings. The desire for knowledge can lead too far. Always remember to practice don\u2019t-know-mind!\nKoura lived in the castle next to the city because he was the king who had gone bad. The fiery accident that burned the good vizier (read: the apprentice king) happened during Koura\u2019s fall from grace as the true king.\nThis is a blow to me. I always wondered why \u201cthe demons of darkness\u201d (read: the forces of nature) moved to Koura\u2019s command. That\u2019s because he was still manifesting the king energy, even though it was for wicked purposes.\nThanks to Xtine, I realize now how little grasp Koura has on reality. Before, I thought he was just some power monger meddling and paying the price to accomplish his evil goals. But whoa, that\u2019s just what he wants people to think. Total illusion pose for the crowd. In truth, he is out to lunch big time. All lines are busy, no groove, don\u2019t play. Not even on the same page.\nThat\u2019s incredibly tragic. His quest then becomes not a mad scramble for power, but a compelling desire to reach the Fountain of Destiny and recover what was lost. He \u201cobtains\u201d, to use his own phrase, but only two out of three \u2013 the energy of youth and a shield of darkness. The crown of ultimate riches goes to someone else. You can never return to what you once were.\nKoura isn\u2019t thinking of the people of his kingdom, or his poor vizier\u2019s suffering. He\u2019s thinking of himself and not in a good way. Sinbad, who represents the transcendent function (he says, \u201cI am the most foolhardy\u201d), comes along to restore the balance and heal the wounds of the earth. He kills Koura in the fountain, and it is only then that the third golden tablet reveals the crown. The king is dead, long live the king.\nA phrase comes back to me. \u201cThe hero who does not crucify himself today becomes the villain of tomorrow.\u201d I\u2019ve also read that the hero is an immature energy function, that it has a purpose (to take action against the stagnation of life) and once that purpose is fulfilled, the hero must \u201cdie\u201d and be reborn as a responsible adult.\nI think that must have been what I didn\u2019t do a long while ago. Part of me has been skulking about like a ghost in dark moors and drinking of wretched waters. Joseph Campbell once said, \u201cAnd where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves.\u201d The four corners fall into place.\nI grow afraid. My Mirage is waiting for me in the haunted house. The last thing I want to do is dispatch the vampire, defeat the villain, neutralize the monster. It\u2019s the very worst thing in the world to slay yourself. Psychologically or otherwise.\nThe doors to the house open. I\u2019m expected.\n\u00ab Digging Graves and Stirring Up Ghosts | The Rotten Corpse At The Heart of Fergus Manor \u00bb\n5 Responses\tto \u201c Riddle of the Wicked Magician \u201d\nmy dear p,\ni\u2019m moved by your brave hunting. it\u2019s like you\u2019re on the trail of something, you can sense it. really beautiful. and inspiring to me.\nthis thing about the hero who must take action against stagnation, and then die to become a responsible adult. wow. so many pieces lighting up, and i\u2019m going to keep thinking about it all\u2026 extraordinary.\ntonight i want to say here (i hope you don\u2019t mind) that someone very dear to me, who was indeed my best friend for many years, died this morning. and something about this post \u2014 and all our talk about the dead, puts his death in a context that i\u2019m still probably too shocked to understand.\njosh had asthma, and a couple of nights ago had a severe attack. he was by himself, and the attack lead to a coronary failure. it didn\u2019t kill him. someone found him, and they had him on life support for a couple days, then he died this morning.\nwhy i put this here\u2026 honestly, i don\u2019t know completely, and i might be overstepping to write about this on a comment on your blog, \u2013 but my dear friend was trying to find his way. he was lost somehow. i felt it, and knew it for years.\nhe was like this young hero you talk about, maybe. i don\u2019t know how it is for men \u2014 i suspect this process could be different for women \u2014 the way we come into our power. but my dear friend was so smart and so clear about so much. and i think somehow stunned. never able to connect and do the deed he felt needed doing. i know that hurt him, frustrated him. and he kept on balking. i tried to support him, but learned that i cannot carry someone singlehandedly through the dark water. although, you know, in my own hubris i thought i could. i had not spoken to him in two years. and now today, i have the news he has died.\ni guess, as i read your words, they come home to me in a deep way today, because the demons and fear you talk about i know are so real. i think some kind of fear like that stalled my friend. and somehow i think he gave up. somewhere. his heart actually gave out. i know he was so very very sad. and i am bereft when i think of his death.\nhe saw so much. and wanted to do so much. he had a heart full of peace and love. sounds sappy i know, but it was true. one\u2019s own power and voice can be so scary. i think that\u2019s why right mentorship and guidance is so important. the gravity of great power can distort an untrained mind and heart. the gravity of strong emotion and trauma can distort even the purist heart. these distortions, or wounds, are real. i\u2019m humbled by this tonight.\no dear p,\ni have not been in touch with you in so many years, and now i get to read your words, and be privileged to your thinking and questing. i am glad for this. i am glad, as i think you are one through whom the currents have moved so strongly for so long, i am glad you are alive and brave enough to keep questing.\nmy own quest nearly killed me. or perhaps did kill a part of me, like your story here. and there are parts of me i need to kill every day. my fear, mostly. my ignorance of the true nature of things. my ignorance of my own true nature.\nso in a way it is not my self that i need to kill, but the illusion of my self that i think is true. in order to do this wisely, i need to learn to be still. to be steadfast in my attention and awareness so that i can assess the difference. a lot of crazy shit comes down the pike! you know? i have to learn whole new forms of paying attention! pema chodron calls one aspect of it learning to stay.\ni don\u2019t know what i\u2019m saying anymore. please forgive this long post if it\u2019s out of order. my intention behind it is to reach out to you, with my gratitude and my love, and to express, essentially, that i feel the incredible gift of being seen and heard by you, here, in these communiques. and that means the world to me.\nmay the gods all attend you on your quest. and may your mind become calm and clear, graced with compassionate, passionate vision for the benefit of your own life, and the lives of all around you.\ni am humbled by the true power of death. She who has taken my friend today.\ni bow and honor that none of us knows when. and that love is what matters. thank you for being my friend, for coming back into my life.\nshe who you first named: xtine\nyou know that statue of shiv that they used in that scene from the movie? the shiv natraj? [nat= dance, raj=king. the dancing king!]\nhe has four arms. two are extended to the sides, i think both of them rattling drums. or, one of them has a drum and the other a flame. that sounds right.\nthen, the two other arms he holds relatively close in, in front of his chest. one is palm out, facing you as you look at him. the other is extended across his chest. this gesture means: do not fear. i am with you.\nhe is dancing in a ring of fire, hair flying. this ring, and his dance, is the motion of all particles in the universe. he is the truth. all the particles in the universe. moving.\nand he\u2019s standing on a baby. which is really intense for some people. but the babe is ignorance.\nshiv is the god of endings. of death and rebirth. maybe that babe is there as a clue, of what we need to kill. and how to kill it? shiv has no weapon against it. he is standing on it. hmmmm. you could say stamping it out, but i think it\u2019s more like standing firm on it so that it doesn\u2019t go anywhere. everything else is moving, according to it\u2019s true nature. and ignorance is there, too. part of the world. it\u2019s just he has it under his foot, where it can\u2019t get away from him.\nat least that\u2019s how it looks to me tonight.\nHeya Xtine. That\u2019s hard core. I saw the video of Josh on your site. It was a supreme act of kindness for him to take in an abandoned cat like that. How very sweet. Knowing that he\u2019s dead now dampens my feelings. There was a very foggy day here a few days ago, with higher than normal temperatures. It felt otherworldly to me, like I was in the moors of england or some such thing. As I said on your blog, death always brings out the secret or hidden. In this case, perhaps the mysterious.\nYour description of Josh\u2019s struggle reminds me of the sparagmos of the hero\u2019s journey. That\u2019s the mid-point in the Other World, the moment of greatest trial, where the hero is crucified, or torn to pieces, or bloodied by wounds. He or she experiences a dying process. Usually its a psychic death \u2013 the hero is reborn from the depths or transforms into a new form more appropriate for their adventure. But sometimes it means an actual death as the dragon literally consumes them. This is a liminal moment where you put yourself at risk, real risk, to realize the resources you need to continue. You could look at it as \u201cthe hangman\u201d in the tarot. Odin sacrificing his eye for the runes of wisdom, that sort of thing.\nThe fear of sacrifice for the continuation of life can hold people back. They can\u2019t let go of the infantile, or the old and worn out, or just plain past and done-with elements of their life. Or they can\u2019t imagine what is beyond the cave of darkness out of which the monster comes. People seek release from the burdens of life, or revel in the ecstasy of it for their own pelasure.\nThe final task you have to do yourself. Other people can and should lend a hand \u2013 it\u2019s a tough world out there and we all need each other. But the last step has to be your own. You have to accept. That means you refuse to give up and you refuse to fight. The light of our lives are candles made from the pieces of all the heroes and heroines who ever were. Who wants to accept that? Who wants to get beat up, shaken about and bitten by Lord knows what when we don\u2019t even know what it is we are striving for? Is it any wonder we get scared and start running to hide? At the end of the day, all I have is sympathy for those struggling and fighting with sticks and stones hoping for a revelation. It\u2019s all we got.\nThere\u2019s an element to Josh\u2019s death that makes me think. I\u2019m thinking you might benefit from reading \u201cCourtney Crumrin and the Night Things\u201d, which has a thing or two to say about life\u2019s ugliness. \u201cThese things happen.\u201d Or perhaps it\u2019s the cast of Sesame Street mourning the death of Mr. Hooper, and Big Bird asks angrily, \u201cWhy did he go away?\u201d The only answer are his own words from his friends, \u201cJust because.\u201d\nWe are alive, and we have to live with the terror of knowing he died before we were ready for him to do so. There\u2019s no rest for us, and the terror is real. So I\u2019m going to raise a full glass of draft cider for him, and thank him for dying at just the right time \u2013 to wake us the fuck up and get us back to work. I don\u2019t know him, and I can only imagine things based on a four minute youtube video and the words of someone close to him. But I\u2019m going to say he took a blow for all of us, to remind us that there\u2019s great work to do, and to fugging live now while you got it.\nYeah, he was cowering in holes, chased by the horrible darkness. Maybe he bought us time. His kindness seemed real to me, that\u2019s no joke. We don\u2019t know the full extent of his victories or his insights. He might have seen or experienced things beyond explanation, that we ourselves ran past while screaming and pooping our pants silly. That he even tried, and wanted so much out of life is enough for any heroic figure to pat him on the back for. So much is made of the people who can cut down thirty orcs or shoot down twenty foot tall robots \u2013 those are all bullshit metaphors for the overwhelming power of the darkness and how it appears. There\u2019s women who tame the evil horse by talking to it, men who change the rotten ogre by hugging it. Being caring and sensitive is hard work. Anybody can pick up a club and womp the rats \u2013 that\u2019s the default man.\nThe sparagmos, it means business!\nOh yeah, and thanks for the shiv info. I didn\u2019t realize that was a baby underfoot, representative of ignorance. Since shiv is displaying the universe in motion (read: space and time) and telling us not to fear, while he holds the baby put, I think it\u2019s a meditation on faith, and courage. The baby will grow up, as ignorance will become illumination. Whether we like it or not, life moves forward and we can either go with it or be dragged along by it.\nI can\u2019t find the picture, but there\u2019s a photo of shiv with a young girl looking up and out in wonder while he dances. I suppose if you put your image in front of mine we have a story unfolding. Yeah, shiv is doing some serious shyt, yo. There you are, you as the embodiment of your own ignorance, and then one day \u2013 whoa, I see STUFF.\nThere seems to me to be both differences and similarities in the quest for men and women. But it\u2019s very hard to talk about it without short circuiting the discussion. What\u2019s just a form reinforced by history, and what are the more immutable archetypes, and what are they all doing in relation to one another.\nI will say that it appears that in this day and age, everyone\u2019s looking for some outside source of power to fill them up. Men are looking for women to be their source of power, willingly or not. Women are looking for men to give them permission to be powerful. Women and men are looking for power in addictions, behaviors, images they have of themselves. No one wants to burn their own firewood, so to speak.\nBecause you got to go into the woods and risk getting eaten by wolves. Then you got to chop it down and drag it home. Then you got to saw it into pieces and split it into useable chunks. Store it someplace in a neat stack so the thieves don\u2019t come and grab some. Work, work, work. Screw that, lemmie get someone else to hold the weight of the world for me. \u2018Scuse me while I suck my thumb (and my life\u2019s blood outta YOU).\nI\u2019ll tell ya Xtine, you have to take your own power because no one will do it for you. No one else can give you that power, but they sure will act like you can give it to them! And I mean power not in the sense of a rainstorm or a river flowing down the landscape, or magic in the sense of your first kiss or the time you drank wine in the woods with a dear friend talking about everything, but power in the sense of the ability to live your own life and have your own experience.\nI\u2019m thinking of a mindset like Sagat\u2019s \u201cFunk Dat\u201d video. Live your own damn life, make your own damn movie. I can imagine you walking down the street like a wiselet and pushing away all the wrong expectations and impersonal demands with a firm and funky \u201cFunk dat! Get your own damn life!\u201d\nPeace galore to yeh hek sistah X.\nso much to say, always, these days.. but for now\nsoul salute and true thanks for all you see.\nsnowing here in portland. ice and wind. a beautiful hekate gesture of deep below.\nsister x\nThursday, Dec 11th, 2008 at 10:25 am\nDiscussion and Meditations and Movie Madness and Outbreak and Weirdie",

        "title": "Portraits - Antique American Folk Portrait by William Matthew Prior - Peggy McClard Antiques - Americana & Folk Art",
        "raw_content": "William Matthew Prior was an artist and a practical man. He certainly had the ability to paint portraits in an academic manner yet he offered his services for the type of portrait his sitters were willing to pay. His \u201cflat\u201d portraits, \u201cPortraits/Painted in this style! /Done in about an hour\u2019s sitting/Price $2.92, including Frame, Glass, &c.\u201d. His more sophisticated style of portraits were sold for between $10 and $25, depending on details and props used for the portrait.\nOffered is one of Prior\u2019s more realistic portraits (actually, his \"middle\" work), painted for a lady of some wealth who could afford detail included in her portrait. We see the same characteristics found in most all of Prior\u2019s work, such as white paint used to highlight around the nose, mouth and eyes of his sitters, bulbous-tipped noses drawn with a continuous line from the eyebrow to one side of the nose, and hands, fingers and nails outlined by brown paint. The woman sitting in this portrait wanted Prior to depict her as educated and religious, hence the Holy Bible which she holds, her reading marked by a Bible marker, her spectacles in hand. She gazes at the viewer with serene blue eyes. Prior did not try to hide the sitter\u2019s years of experience as we are allowed to see her wrinkles and even a couple of blemishes. She has the look of a warm, loving individual. Prior\u2019s composition works to pull the full and complicated painting into a cohesive and pleasant experience. The billowy edge of the red drape echoes the billowy pink clouds seen through the window as well as the front edges of the sitter\u2019s bonnet. The soft V of her neckline echoes the shape of her chin but is softened by her gold beaded necklace. The straight vertical pleats of her dress front echo the fluting of the column outside the window and even the downward direction of her arm, the vertical stance of the Bible and the edges of her shawl. The color theme is played over and over\u2026the red of the drapery, the red upholstered chair or sofa on which she sits and the red tinge of the sky outside. The gold of her shawl, her Bible, her necklace and ring and the pattern in her green dress. The green of her dress is echoed by green outside the window. The patterns of her clothing are interesting in that the vary slightly from sleeve to pleat to shawl, but all provide a subtle textural element to the overall composition. Her bonnet and collar seem to be edged with a very similar lace.\nThe lady is oil on the homemade paperboard that Prior so often used, especially for his small, flat portraits. The board is in the best shape that I\u2019ve ever seen for what appears to be an untouched piece. The board measures 16 \u00bc\u201d x 12 \u00bc\u201d and has the slightest warp in the center\u2026.but has apparently been tucked tightly into this frame for its entire life so has no warp at top, bottom, or sides. I can\u2019t find a bit of inpainting under blacklight but there is a small splotch of thicker paint above the lady\u2019s head which I believe was a mistake that Prior, himself, remedied. It resides in what must be the original paint decorated frame. I say that it is likely original because it is of a type that Prior used and painted himself, it is of original size, and the wear on the portrait from a frame fits this frame perfectly. Framed size 16 1/4\" x 12 1/4\".\nWhile this painting is not signed, the attribution to William M. Prior, himself, is bolstered by Michael & Suzanne Rudnick Payne and a copy of their correspondence regarding the attribution will be provided to the buyer.\nCirca 1840. A real gem to center your American folk art collection.\nPlease see the Folk Portrait Artists page for more information about William Matthew Prior .",

        "raw_content": "Let\u2019s talk about personal health budgets \u2013 Colin Royle\nThis week National Voices, in partnership with other health and care charities published Personal Budgets as an integral form of NHS care: A discussion paper which argues that the use of personal budgets in health care supports the values of the NHS. Colin Royle, one of the peoplehub directors, shares why he supports this important new publication and welcomes a more informed discussion about the introduction of personal budgets to the NHS as a way to offer more choice and control for people with complex health needs.\nPeoplehub CIC is a network of people with lived experience of managing personal health budgets, either for themselves or for a family member with a long-term condition or disability. As people who have made personal health budgets work well, in often very difficult circumstances, the media attention on personal health budgets earlier this year was most unwelcome. The suggestion that we would splash public funds on \u2018luxury items\u2019 was frankly very hard to bear, especially as some of us have struggled for years to get the right kind of quality care that we, or our loved ones, need. While caring for my dad, who had a rare form of early onset dementia, I never once felt lavished with \u2018treats\u2019. Every penny was spent with careful and thorough consideration of finding ways to keep my dad safe, cared for and enabled to live life as he chose right up until he died earlier this year. Despite the severity of his condition, he was able to live with us, his family, until the end, and sadly that isn\u2019t an option for many people in his shoes.\nPersonally, I\u2019m really pleased to see this discussion paper from National Voices, and equally happy to be part of ongoing conversations about the future for personal health budgets. I understand that people have concerns, which aren\u2019t helped by misleading headlines, and it\u2019s only right that we should be part of those discussions. Many people who have struggled with long-term conditions for many years have done so without involvement in how their own care has been designed and personal health budgets have enabled them to have more choice and control in their lives. Many of us have helped road-test this challenging culture change for the NHS over the past few years. We recognise that the prospect of giving people NHS funds and managing money themselves might sound unusual? I\u2019m well aware how much that shakes the foundations of the health service and challenges the belief that the professional alone knows best. But honestly, I\u2019ve seen how it works \u2013 not just for my family but for many others. Not just for those of us who are the most able or shout the loudest, but with the right support I\u2019ve seen it work for many people who have struggled to manage their condition any other way \u2013 people who would have ended up unwillingly in residential care, often miles from home.\nProfessionals only ever get a soundbite as to how somebody\u2019s condition really affects their life on a day to day basis. As a surgeon once said to me \u201ccaring for somebody with such complex needs cannot be done remotely \u2013 it needs to be monitored day to day by the people that know them best\u201d So for those of you who think that personal health budgets could be a way of \u2018offloading responsibilities\u2019 or \u2018dismantling the NHS\u2019, whilst I completely understand those concerns, I urge you to listen to people who are most affected by these changes to the NHS \u2013 those in receipt of care. If I hadn\u2019t seen the way it transformed life for my dad, and the many other people I\u2019ve met through peoplehub, I might be asking the same questions. How do we know it\u2019s a good use of public money? What if people make poor decisions? What happens if someone wants to spend the money on something radical? How do we balance giving people choice with keeping them safe?\nAll I ask is that you don\u2019t jump to conclusions based on some poorly researched news stories. Please, ask your questions, and we\u2019ll be very keen to join you in the conversation.",

It is probably the same as that called in the Peutinger Table Naharra. Josephus speaks (l.c.) of Nearda as a place in Babylonia, possessing an extensive range of territory and defended from hostile attack by the Euphrates which flows round it. When Tiberius overthrew the Jews in the East, the remnant of that people took refuge in Naarda and Nisibis; and the former city long remained a place of refuge for the Jews. In the intermediate records of the Christian East we find occasional notices of this place, under the titles of Nahardeir and Beth-Nuhadra. Thus, in A.D. 421, a bishop of Nahardeir is mentioned (Assem. Bibl. Orient. iii. p. 264); in A.D. 755, Jonas is bishop of Beth-Nuhadra (Assem. ii. p. 111); and as late as A.D. 1285, another person is recorded as \u201cEpiscopus Nuhadrensis.\u201d (Assem. ii. p. 249.) During all this period Nearda is included within the episcopal province of Mosul. Lastly, in the Travels of Benjamin of Tudela, which took place towards the end of the 12th century, the traveller mentions going to \u201cJuba, which is Pumbeditha, in Nehardea, containing about two thousand Jews\u201d (p. 92, Asher's edit.); from which it appears that, at that period, Naarda was considered to comprehend a district with other towns in it. Pumbeditha and Sura were two celebrated Jewish towns situated near one another, at no great distance from Baghd\u00e1d. [V]\nFlavius Josephus, Jewish Antiquities , 18.12",

He spoke on Tuesday morning at a meeting of inter-religious leaders.\n\u201cAccording to Catholic belief, God made man for life, for freedom and for happiness. And yet our destiny here on earth, much of the time, seems to consist of suffering, which we are tempted to undergo as chastisement or punishment, as a cruel fate. Such senseless suffering can eventually defeat us.\n\u201cIn 1981, Blessed John Paul II properly named the suffering brought by war, specifically by the Atom Bomb, as the fruit of human sin and the result of evil at work. Pope Francis made a similar clarification: \u2018The possession of atomic power can cause the destruction of humanity. When man becomes proud, he creates a monster that can get out of hand.\u2019\n\u201cIndividuals and societies are always tempted by the passions of greed and hate; but they do not have to succumb. Instead of excluding those who are deprived, let us meet their needs. Instead of avoiding those who suffer, let us accompany them. Instead of cursing what we ourselves suffer, let us offer it up for others. Instead of hiding from today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s problems, let us together bravely address the social situations and structures that cause injustice and conflict.\n\u201cFor \u2018no amount of \u201cpeace-building\u201d will be able to last,\u2019 according to Pope Francis, \u2018nor will harmony and happiness be attained in a society that ignores, pushes to the margins or excludes a part of itself.'\u201d\nDave Griffith\u2019s \u201cPictures of the Floating World\u201d\nposted by Mike in Weapons of Mass Destruction, Worcester | on August 6th, 2013 | Permanent Link to \u201cHiroshima Day 2013, Worcester\u201d | 1 Comment \u00bb\nposted by Mike in Weapons of Mass Destruction, Worcester | on August 6th, 2012 | Permanent Link to \u201cHiroshima Day 2012, Worcester\u201d | No Comments \u00bb\nposted by Mike in Weapons of Mass Destruction, Worcester | on August 6th, 2010 | Permanent Link to \u201cHiroshima Day 2010, Worcester, Massachusetts\u201d | 1 Comment \u00bb\nRadical priest Carl Kabat profiled in NYT\nNice profile in today\u2019s New York Times of Fr Carl Kabat, OMI, a Catholic priest with longstanding ties to both the Plowshares and Catholic Worker movements:\nAt 75 he continues his crusade against nuclear weapons at missile silos across the United States, armed with a hammer and a pair of bolt cutters.

[Editor\u2019s note: Hiroshima is the subject of a chapter in David Griffith\u2019s A Good War Is Hard to Find, which we\u2019ve been discussing here. Here are more of Griffith\u2019s reflections on the subject.]\nI come from Taiwan, or Takasago, as one would call it back in the days of colonization under the Empire of Japan before the end of World War 2. Taiwanese people who are of my grandmother\u2019s generation were educated to be Japanese; for example, the late pastor of my church, like many Taiwanese who were drafted by the Imperial Armed Forces at that time, was to be one of the kamikaze, the suicide pilots who were crashing their fighters into the carriers of the Allies. People of that age often talk to us about the times of the Japanese occupation and the Pacific War. Although they resented the unnecessary War they had to fight and complain about the occasional cruelty of the Japanese, they described the Japanese rule as a period of order and stability, in which even during the extreme of hardship near the end of the War, rarely did riots arise and corruption of the administration were unusual. It seemed that everyone in the neighborhood cooperated to remain organized for the War. I always wonder how this kind of disciplined behavior was attained.\nAfter reading John Hersey\u2019s Hiroshima, I think I know a bit more about the way of the Japanese. Although the emblem of the Japanese Empire is the glorious chrysanthemum signifying the Royal Family, common people refer to themselves as sakura, the cherry blossoms, which bloom brilliantly in the spring for a very short time, usually only a few days, and then fall to the ground. A respectful Japanese is one that suffers tragically, or even sacrifices oneself, for the cause of the greater organization (e.g., the Empire, or, as is observed in the modern, post-War society Japan, the kaisha, the Japanese idea of the \u201cfirm\u201d), just like the sakura flowers. Any performance less than this is considered a shame in the Japanese mind.\nposted by Kaihsu Tai in A Good War Is Hard to Find, Books, Weapons of Mass Destruction | on April 25th, 2007 | Permanent Link to \u201cThe Spirit of Sakura\u201d | 1 Comment \u00bb\nposted by Kaihsu Tai in The Papacy, Weapons of Mass Destruction | on January 17th, 2007 | Permanent Link to \u201cPope and Trident, via Bruce Kent\u201d | 2 Comments \u00bb",

In this category 22-year-old IT apprentice Phillip Hardwick won the \u00a35,000 prize for his entry, Career Path. And judges were so impressed with the quality of entrants from the category that they introduced an additional runner-up prize of \u00a32,500, which went to a team effort from students at Barking and Dagenham College in London.\nCompetition judge Dr Deirdre Hughes OBE, Chair of National Careers Council and a Commissioner for UKCES, said:\n\u201cAs judges we were all highly impressed at the outstanding contributions made by our winners, and of the talent and ability being displayed by the next generation of up-and-coming developers and programmers.\n\u201cThe quality of the submissions was so high we felt the need to introduce an additional prize, but all those that entered should be extremely proud of their efforts.\u201d\nThe judging panel was made up of technology experts from Google, Ubuntu and HP, alongside representatives from the UK Commission and John Lewis. Judges made their decision based on how innovative the entry was, how viable it was as a working app, the potential it had for making an impact on society and the overall quality of the packaged app.\nCareerHack judge Matt Brocklehurst, Product Marketing Manager at Google UK said:\n\u201cAt Google we\u2019re well aware of the importance of making data open and encouraging young, creative talent. CareerHack was a fantastic example of this and we were very impressed by the high standard of entries from everyone who entered \u2013 the fact that three of the four winners are young people at the start of their careers is fantastic news. We hope these prizes will enable them to get a head start down whichever career path they choose to follow.\u201d\nFellow CareerHack judge Cristian Parrino, Vice President of Mobile and Online Services at Ubuntu, added:\n\u201cThe CareerHack competition demonstrated how an set of open data can be used to cater to the needs of people at different stages of their career paths. It was wonderful to see the different flavours of high quality applications and services built on UKCES\u2019s data.\u201d\nLMI for All has been developed by the UK Commission for Employment and Skills, working with a consortium led by the Institute for Employment Research at Warwick University and including Pontydysgu, RayCom and Rewired State.\u201d\nPontydysgu\u2019s bit in all this is managing the technical side. I have to say I was a bit sceptical of producing an APi and then opening it up and encouraging contributions through a competition, but having looked at the videos I am gobsmacked by the inventiveness of teh programmers who entered. We will be looking in more depth at what has been produced. We are also seeking feedback from all those who participated and planning more events later in the year.

The project is co-ordinated by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology\u2019s Institute of Vocational and General Education and realised in collaboration with the Center for Art and Media ZKM\u2019s department of Museum Communication, the German Federal Agency of Employment Karlsruhe as well as the Hardtstiftung e.V. Karlsruhe, a youth welfare service for young women.\nThe project is funded for 3 years under the German research programme entitled \u201estrengthening media skills for sustainable media education in vocational qualification\u201d of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).\nIt aims to scrutinize artistic approaches and new mentoring and portfolio concepts to be applied in media technology education with young participants of vocational preparation and vocational orientation programs. In vocational preparation measures outside of vocational schools, young people are prepared for work or to take up a formal vocational training place. They are placed in a transit situation, hoping to get employed in the future.\nHowever, in the project, a new concept to support digital media literacy of young people is developed, tested and evaluated. It brings together concepts of art, technology and vocational education as well as a specific mentoring model including portfolio research books to improve processes of self-reflexion of the learners.\nIn the project students of pedagogy, vocational education, engineering pedagogy as well as art and technology education accompany the young participants of vocational preparation programs. We intend to realize an education-through-art approach to technology by means of introducing artistic processes with digital media as well as didactic concepts of art education to vocational preparation. By improving media literacy of the young participants, the project aims to motivate them imagining and shaping pathways towards their own vocational biography and a perspective of future employment.\nFor further information, the (German) Web site can be accessed at http://www.ibp.kit.edu/berufspaedagogik/media-art-edu.php\nEnglish information will be available soon as well.\nPosted in academia, daniela-blog, Media Literacy | Comments Off on MediaArt@Edu \u2013 mentoring media and art education processes in vocational preparation\nInternational Journal of Art, Culture and Design Technologies (IJACDT)\nFor those of you interested in smart textile and low cost wearables as an artistic context to engage young women in technology and engineering in education, feel free to check the International Journal of Art, Culture and Design Technologies (IJACDT), ISSUE ON CREATIVITY, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGIES CULTURES edited by Gianluca Mura (2011), p. 12-21.

With funding from the European Lifelong Learning Programme G8WAY project and the European Research Framework Mature-IP project, and working with a growing community of partners, we have been developing a series of Web 2.0 tools to support careers guidance. At the moment we are developing a new web site which will give full access to these tools and applications, as well as to research about the use of Web 2.0 and social software for careers information, advice and guidance. Below is a summary of these tools. If you are interested in finding out more about any of these tools or about our approach to using technology to support careers guidance please get in touch.\nLabour Market Visualisation Tools\nWe are developing tools and applications for visualising Labour Market Information in order to provide young people with an informed basis for decision making around career directions and to support the careers guidance professionals who advise young people. This work has been undertaken in conjunction with the Institute for Employment Research, University of Warwick and Careers Wales.\nRadioActive is a project using internet radio to assist young people, particularly those from a NEETS (Not in Employment, Education, or Training) background in developing decision making and communication skills. This approach focuses on informal learning and the development of communities of practice through the use of new technologies. The approach is being piloted in conjunction with the University of East London, Yoh, a Hackney based youth agency, and Inspire!, the Education Business Partnership for the London Borough of Hackney.\nStoriboard\nStoriboard is a Web 2.0 tool for storytelling. In the first year of the G8WAY project we found that storytelling is a powerful tool for developing and reflection on careers biographies. Storiboard allows young people to use multimedia including video, audio and graphics to tell their careers stories and aspirations. It is initially being tested through using the original stories collected in year one of the project and will then be piloted with UK based careers services.\nWe are developing a series of Web 2.0 webquests designed to support professional development for Careers Guidance professionals. The first two are on the use of the internet for Careers Guidance and on careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). Along with our technical partners, Raycom, we are developing a lightweight repository which combined with the Storiboard interface, will provide for easy editing and development of Webquests.\nPosted in Career Guidance, careers, e-learning 2.0, G8WAY, Informal learning, learningtechnologies, Mature, Media Literacy, Social Software, Wales Wide Web, web 2.0, Webquests | 1 Comment \u00bb",

Add Tap-dance to your PopFlock.com topic list for future reference or share this resource on social media.\nJimmy Slyde tap dancing\nTap dance is a type of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. The sound is made by shoes that have a metal \"tap\" on the heel and toe. There are several major variations on tap dance including: flamenco, rhythm (jazz) tap, classical tap, Broadway tap, and post-modern tap. Broadway tap is rooted in English theatrical tradition and often focuses on formations, choreography and generally less complex rhythms; it is widely performed in musical theatre. Rhythm tap focuses on musicality, and practitioners consider themselves to be a part of the jazz tradition. Classical tap has a similarly long tradition which marries European \"classical\" music with American foot drumming with a wide variation in full-body expression. Post-modern or contemporary tap has emerged over the last three decades to incorporate abstract expression, thematic narrative and technology.\nThere are different brands of shoes which sometimes differ in the way they sound. \"Soft-shoe\" is a rhythm form of tap dancing that does not require special shoes, and though rhythm is generated by tapping of the feet, it also uses sliding of the feet (even sometimes using scattered sand on the stage to enhance the sound of sliding feet) more often than modern rhythm tap. It produced what is currently considered to be modern tap, but has since declined in popularity.\nStudents performing a tap dance in Mexico City\nTap dance has its roots in the fusion of several ethnic percussive dances, including Spanish flamenco, African tribal dances, English clog dancing and Irish jigs; the relative contribution of different traditions is a point of disagreement among historians and dance scholars.[1] The oldest record of flamenco dates to 1774 in the book Las Cartas Marruecas by Jos\u00e9 Cadalso. El baile flamenco is known for its emotional intensity, proud carriage, expressive use of the arms and rhythmic stamping of the feet. Tap dance is also believed by some to have begun in the mid-1800s during the rise of minstrel shows. Famous as Master Juba, William Henry Lane became one of the few black performers to join an otherwise white minstrel troupe, and is widely considered to be one of the most famous forebears of tap dance.\nAs the minstrel shows began to decline in popularity, tap dance moved to the increasingly popular Vaudeville stage. Due to the two-colored rule, which forbade black people from performing solo, the majority of Vaudeville tap acts were duets.[2] This gave rise to the famous pair \"Buck and Bubbles\", which consisted of John \"Bubbles\" Sublett tap dancing and Ford \"Buck\" Washington on piano. The duo perfected the \"class act\", a routine in which the performers wore impeccable tuxedos, which has since become a common theme in tap dance. The move is seen by some as a rebuttal to the older minstrel show idea of the tap dancer as a \"grinning-and-dancing clown.\" John \"Bubbles\" Sublett is also known famously for popularizing rhythm tap which incorporates more percussive heel drops and lower-body movements.[3][4]\nAnother notable figure to emerge during this period is Bill \"Bojangles\" Robinson, who was a prot\u00e9g\u00e9 of Alice Whitman of the Whitman Sisters around 1904 (then 'Willie Robinson').[5] Well-versed in both Buck and Wing dancing and Irish step dancing, Bill Robinson joined the vaudeville circuit in 1902, in a duo with George W. Cooper. The act quickly became famous, headlining events across the country, and touring England as well. In 1908, however, the two had an altercation and the partnership was ended. Gambling on his popularity, Robinson decided to form a solo act, which was extremely rare for a black man at that time.[6] Despite this, he had tremendous success and soon became a world-famous celebrity.[2] He went on to have a leading role in many films, notably in movies starring Shirley Temple.\nShortly thereafter, the Nicholas Brothers came on the scene. Consisting of real-life brothers Fayard and Harold, this team wowed audiences with their acrobatic feats incorporated into their classy style of dancing. They never looked less than suave and were always in total control of their dancing, even in childhood numbers such as Stormy Weather.[7] A notable scene in the movie Stormy Weather features the pair dancing up a staircase and then descending the staircase in a series of leapfrogs over each other into a full split from which they rise without using their hands.\nDuring the 1930s tap dance mixed with Lindy hop. \"Flying swing-outs\" and \"flying circles\" are Lindy hop moves with tap footwork. In the mid- to late 1950s, the style of entertainment changed. Jazz music and tap dance declined, while rock and roll and the new jazz dance emerged. What is now called jazz dance evolved out of tap dance, so both dances have many moves in common. But jazz evolved separately from tap dance to become a new form in its own right. Well-known dancers during the 1960s and 1970s included Arthur Duncan and Tommy Tune.\nNo Maps on My Taps, the Emmy award-winning PBS documentary of 1979, helped begin the recent revival of tap dance. The outstanding success of the animated film, Happy Feet, has further reinforced the popular appeal.[8]National Tap Dance Day in the United States, now celebrated May 25, was signed into law by President George Bush on November 7, 1989. (May 25 was chosen because it is the birthday of famous tapper Bill \"Bojangles\" Robinson.) Prominent modern tap dancers have included Sarah Reich, Brenda Bufalino, Melinda Sullivan, The Clark Brothers, Savion Glover, Gregory and Maurice Hines, LaVaughn Robinson, Jason Samuels Smith, Chloe Arnold, Michelle Dorrance, Dul\u00e9 Hill and Dianne \"Lady Di\" Walker.[9][10]Indie-pop band Tilly and the Wall also features a tap dancer, Jamie Pressnall, tapping as percussion.\n(video) A man practices tap dancing in front of a station in Japan.\nTap dancing class at Iowa State College, 1942\nTap dancers make frequent use of syncopation. Choreography typically starts on the eighth or first beatcount. Another aspect of tap dancing is improvisation. Tap dancing can either be done with music following the beats provided, or without musical accompaniment; the latter is known as \"a cappella tap dancing\".\nHoofers are tap dancers who dance primarily \"closer to the floor\", using mostly footwork and not showing very much arm or body movement.[11]Steve Condos developed an innovative rhythmic tap style that influenced the work of later tap dancers such as Gregory Hines and Savion Glover. Condos passed his knowledge on to his protege Marshall L. Davis Jr. The majority of early hoofers, such as Sammy Davis Jr., Glover, Hines, and LaVaughn Robinson were African American men.[] Savion Glover helped bring tap dance into mainstream media by choreographing Happy Feet, a film about a tap dancing penguin. Another well-known tap film is 1989's Tap, starring Gregory Hines and many old-time hoofers.\nEarly tappers like Fred Astaire provided a more ballroom look to tap dancing, while Gene Kelly introduced ballet elements and style into tap. This style of tap led to what is today known as Broadway style, which is popular in American culture. It often involves high heeled tap shoes and show music, and is usually the type of tap first taught to beginners. Examples of this style are found in Broadway musicals such as Anything Goes and 42nd Street.\nCommon tap steps include the shuffle, shuffle ball change, double shuffle, leap shuffle, hop shuffle, flap, flap ball change, running flaps, flap heel, cramproll, buffalo, Maxi Ford, Maxi Ford with a pullback, pullbacks, wings, Cincinnati, the shim sham shimmy (also called the Lindy), Irish, waltz clog, the paddle roll, the paradiddle, stomp, brushes, scuffs, spanks, riffs, and single and double toe punches, hot steps, heel clicks, time steps, over-the-tops, military time step, New Yorkers, Shiggy Bops, drawbacks, and chugs. In advanced tap dancing, basic steps are often combined together to create new steps. Many steps also have single, double, and triple versions, including pullbacks, timesteps, and drawbacks. In tap, various types of turns can be done, including step heel turns, Maxi Ford turns, cramproll turns, and drag turns. Timesteps are widely used in tap and can vary in different areas. These consist of a rhythm that is changed to make new timesteps by adding or removing steps.\nTap dancing can also be done using an a cappella method, in which no musical accompaniment is provided and dancers creating their own \"music\" through the sounds of their taps.\nIn group tap dances, the steps are typically kept simple and easy to control. The group of dancers must work together to create the sound, keeping their steps at the correct speed to match each other.\nIn the earliest years of tap dancing, tap shoes often had wooden soles,[12] but most tap shoes since have had leather soles. Today, it is common for manufacturers of tap shoes to also produce and fix taps.[] There are a variety of styles of shoe: the Oxford is very common in jazz dance and the Mary Jane is common for younger girls in tap classes.\nTap shoe makers include Bloch, Sansha and Capezio.\nMetallic taps were added to tap shoes in 1910.[] Before that tap shoes used wood to produce a distinct tapping sound. Castanets were commonly used for larger shows with full orchestration. Depending on manufacturer and model, tap characteristics can vary considerably. For example, some taps have relatively low weight and small footprint, whereas others may be thicker and fill out the edge of the shoe more, making them heavier as a result. A tap's \"tone\" is influenced by its weight as well as its surface shape, which may be concave or convex.[13] The tonal quality of a tap can also be influenced by the material it is made from,[14] and the presence of a soundboard (though there is some debate whether this affects the sound).\nSide view of tap shoe, showing taps mounted to bottoms of heel and toe\nMetal tap on bottom of heel\nMetal tap on bottom of toe\nTaps are mounted to the sole of the shoe with screws, and sometimes adhesive as well. The screws are driven into a soundboard - a thin fiberboard integrated into the sole that can be firmly \"gripped\" by the screws - to reliably attach the tap to the shoe. When no adhesive is used, the screws can be loosened or tightened to produce different sounds, whereas tonal quality is fixed when adhesive is used.\nAmerican traditional informal freeform solo folk dancing\n^ Seibert, B.

(June 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)\nThe Osmonds in 1971 (Clockwise from far left, in order of age: Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny)\nMGM/Kolob\nDonny & Marie, Merrill and Jessica, The Osmonds Second Generation, David Osmond\nosmond.com\nThe Osmonds are an American family music group who gained their highest profile in the early-1970s. The group consists of siblings who are all members of the Osmond family, a family of musicians from Ogden, Utah who have been nationally recognized since the 1960s.\nThe Osmond Brothers began as a barbershop quartet consisting of brothers Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay Osmond. They were later joined by younger siblings Donny and Jimmy, both of whom enjoyed success as solo artists as well. With the addition of Donny, the group became known as The Osmonds; performing both as teen idols and as a hard rock band, their peak lasted from late 1970 to 1975. Their only sister Marie, who rarely sang with her brothers at that time, launched a successful career in 1973, both as a solo artist and as Donny's duet partner. By 1976, the band was no longer producing hit singles; that year, they transitioned into television with Donny & Marie, a popular variety show that ran until 1979.\nA revival of the original Osmond Brothers lineup in the 1980s achieved moderate success in country music, and both Donny and Marie separately made comebacks in their respective fields in the late 1980s. The Osmonds Brothers has sold 77 million records,[2] while collectively, the family has sold a total of 100 million records worldwide.[3]\nAs of 2018, The Osmond Brothers as a group is composed of original members Merrill and Jay along with Jimmy, who perform as a trio. Donny and Marie also continue to perform as a duo; they and Merrill all have solo careers as well. Also of note are Alan's sons, who have performed as a \"Second Generation\" of the group since the late 1980s; one of those sons, David Osmond, is Donny's designated understudy and has had modest success of his own as a solo artist as well.\nGeorge Virl Osmond, Sr. and Olive Osmond, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, resided in Ogden, Utah. They bore nine children: Virl, Tom, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie, and Jimmy. Virl and Tom have both had severe hearing impairment since birth.[4]\nThe Osmond Brothers' career began in 1958 when Alan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay began singing barbershop music for local audiences in and around Ogden. In their made-for-TV movie Inside the Osmonds, they explain that they originally performed to earn money to support Virl and Tom in buying hearing aids and serving missions for the church.[5] Despite their young ages (Alan was 9, Wayne 7, Merrill 5, and Jay 3) and within a few years, the boys' talent and stage presence were strong enough that their father, George Osmond, took them to audition for Lawrence Welk in California. Welk was unable to meet with them, but on the same trip, they visited Disneyland. Tommy Walker, Disneyland's Director of Entertainment and Customer Relations from 1955 to 1966, found the Osmond Brothers singing with The Dapper Dans on Main Street.[6] Walker hired the Osmonds to perform on a segment of Disneyland After Dark. This episode aired on 4/15/62 and 7/01/62.[7][8]\nThe boys with Andy Williams in 1964. From left: Alan, Wayne, Williams, Merrill and Jay.\nWhile the Osmond Brothers were performing on a televised Disney special, Disneyland After Dark, Andy Williams's father saw them and was so impressed he told his son to book them for his television show. Andy did, and the Osmond Brothers were regulars on the show from 1962 to 1969,[9] where they earned the nickname \"one-take Osmonds\" among staff due to their professionalism and tireless rehearsing.[10] Donny soon joined them on the show, making the Osmond Brothers a 5-member group. Marie and Jimmy were also introduced on the show as the years went by. During this time, the Osmonds also toured Europe, performing with Sweden's most popular singer, Lars Lnndahl, and even releasing a single where they sang a Swedish version of \"Two Dirty Little Hands\" (\"Fem smutsiga sm fingrar\").[11]\nThe Andy Williams Show ended its first run in 1967, after which the Osmond Brothers were signed to The Jerry Lewis Show, staying with that show until it was canceled (and, coincidentally, The Andy Williams Show returned for a second run) in 1969.[9] but soon decided they wanted to perform popular music and shed their variety-show image. They wanted to become a rock and roll band. The change was a difficult one for their father, who was suspicious of rock and roll, but he was persuaded and the boys began performing as a pop band.\nTo this end, the Osmonds recorded a single, \"Flower Music\", for UNI records in 1967.[12] They achieved only modest success at first, but they found fame in 1971.[5]\nPop and rock era\nBubblegum: Osmonds and Homemade\nRecord producer Mike Curb saw the Osmonds perform as a band and recognized that they combined a rare mix of polished performing style, instrumental skill, and vocal talent.[9] He helped the Osmonds get a record contract with MGM Records and arranged for them to record at Muscle Shoals with R&B producer Rick Hall.[5] Under Hall's guidance, the Osmonds hit the top spot on the pop chart with \"One Bad Apple\" in 1971. The song, \"One Bad Apple\", written by George Jackson, who had The Jackson Five in mind when he wrote it, was originally presented to Motown executive Berry Gordy for The Jackson Five to record but he turned it down. It was then presented to MGM Records for The Osmonds, and it became their first number-one hit single, released on November 14, 1970.\nThe Osmonds soon had hits with other light, R&B-style pop numbers like \"Double Lovin'\" (#14) and \"Yo-Yo\" (#3). In each of these hits, the formula was the same; Merrill sang lead, and Donny was \"co-lead\" in essence, singing the \"hook\" or \"chorus\" of the song. At this time the Osmonds also recorded several hits that were billed to Donny, the lead soloist on the songs: \"Sweet and Innocent\" (#7), \"Go Away Little Girl\" (#1), \"I Knew You When\" (#9) and \"Puppy Love\" (#2).\nTransition to rock: Phase III and Crazy Horses\nThe Osmonds began writing and performing their own music and their sound moved towards rock music beginning with their album Phase III. In addition to \"Yo-Yo\", Phase III produced the major hit \"Down by the Lazy River\" (#4).[9] The following Crazy Horses album was the band's first really personal statement -- the brothers have been quoted as saying that the title song refers to air pollution from cars, and its instrumentation featured an even harder rock sound bordering on early heavy metal. They wrote all the songs and played all the instruments with Alan on rhythm guitar, Wayne on lead guitar, Merrill on lead vocals and bass, Jay on drums and Donny on keyboards.[13] All the brothers sang backing vocals, with Jay and Donny sometimes singing lead parts. But Donny singing co-lead on these songs was abandoned for the reason given below (except for \"Lazy River\", which he also did not sing co-lead on).\nWith their clean-cut image, talent, and energetic pop-rock sound, the Osmonds toured to crowds of screaming fans in the US. They even had their own 1972-1973 Saturday-morning cartoon series, The Osmonds, on ABC-TV. By this time, the Osmonds had broken through in the UK as well: counting group and solo recordings, members of the Osmond family charted 13 singles on the UK charts during 1973. Some observers coined a new word, \"Osmondmania\", to describe the phenomenon, by analogy with the similar \"Beatlemania\" of the previous decade.\nIn early 1972, thirteen year old Donny's voice had changed. This was a major upset to the group's formula that had proved so successful. Not only did this eliminate Merrill's young-sounding co-lead's voice (forcing Merrill's already mature tenor voice to strain to cover most of the higher notes, with audible difficulty, through the next few years), but it also ended Donny's bubble gum like ballads, which became so popular with fans. With this development, Donny spent much of 1972 and then 1973 touring with his brothers but singing his old songs with his new voice, although the success of Crazy Horses singles \"Hold Her Tight\" (#14) and title track \"Crazy Horses\" (on which Donny did not sing) kept the group very popular through 1973.\nEmergence as teen balladeers: The Plan and Love Me for a Reason\nThe older male Osmonds were of age to go on church missions, yet they believed they could reach more people through their music.[5][14] They recorded an ambitious album in 1973 called The Plan, perhaps best described as a Mormon concept album with progressive rock aspirations. One reviewer suggested that The Plan carried a too-strong religious message--Mormonism is, after all, fairly conservative and not usually associated with the themes of rock-and-roll. He likewise suggested that the music was too varied and experimental.[15] The album produced only two minor hits: \"Let Me In\" and \"Goin' Home\" (both #36 in the USA, although they both went top 5 in the UK and \"Let Me In,\" which marked the return to the Merrill-and-Donny co-lead formula with Donny's new, baritone/tenor voice, was also a major hit on the easy listening charts). Furthermore, the older boys may have wanted to reduce the regular touring that is a necessity in popular music but not so good for marriage.[5] But \"The Plan\" was a major departure from the pop music which made them so popular. The combination of this album, along with Donny's voice change the year before, meant that with young fans the Osmonds popularity would soon wane.\nAnother major factor in the band's decline was the sheer diversity of its output: within three years, the Osmonds had waffled between bubblegum pop, hard rock, and easy listening, and Donny's solo career as an oldies cover artist further muddled the band's direction. Donny's collaboration with Steve and Eydie, \"We Can Make it Together\" (billed as featuring all of the Osmonds as Alan, Wayne and Merrill had penned the track for Donny), came out on the easy listening charts at the same time the much harder \"Crazy Horses\" song was charting.\nDonny's solo career, and the emergence of Marie and Jimmy as spin-off acts\nDonny, and to a lesser extent, Marie and Jimmy, soon began to emerge as solo artists. Jimmy was becoming \"big in Japan\", and in 1972 had a #1 hit in the United Kingdom with \"Long Haired Lover from Liverpool\". Marie, then 13 years old, hit #1 on the US country chart in 1973 with \"Paper Roses\" (a song originally recorded by Anita Bryant a decade before). Donny had a string of pop hits with a string of covers of earlier teen-pop songs, including \"Go Away Little Girl\" (#1, originally by Steve Lawrence), \"Puppy Love\" (#3, a Paul Anka composition) and \"The Twelfth of Never\" (#8, originally recorded by Johnny Mathis). From 1971 to 1976, he had 12 Top 40 hits, including 5 in the Top 10; for most of these, the Osmonds were still performing as a full band, but backing and giving star billing to Donny for songs on which he sang lead.\nDonny's numerous solo hits, have led many to assume he was the group's lead. Merrill was nevertheless the usual lead singer; Donny would usually sing the choruses on songs billed to The Osmonds, thus being a \"co-lead\". (The family resemblance between Donny and Merrill at the time likely made the confusion worse; in later years, Merrill grew out his beard and let his hair go gray to distinguish the two.) Donny's emergence as a solo star and the record company's desire to appeal to the teen-girl audience often thrust Donny out in front of the group.[5]\nBy now the family was touring, recording, creating and producing for five technically separate artists: The Osmonds, Donny Osmond, Marie Osmond and Jimmy Osmond -- plus Donny and Marie had begun recording duets and had hits with \"I'm Leaving It Up to You\" (#4) and \"Morning Side of the Mountain\" (#8). Through all the stress and pressures created by these many efforts, the family hung together. The 2001 ABC-TV movie Inside the Osmonds depicts the family mottoes as being \"It doesn't matter who's out front, as long as it's an Osmond\" and \"family, faith, and career. In that order\".[5]\nThe original Osmonds as a group still produced hits. In 1974, \"Love Me for a Reason\" reached #10 in the US and #1 in the UK. The Irish boy band Boyzone took the song to #2 in the UK in 1994.\nFall from pop prominence: The Proud One and Brainstorm\nDonny and Marie, 1977\nBy 1976, though, the group's record sales were softening; Osmondmania had long faded and been replaced by \"Rollermania\", as the Bay City Rollers became the hot pop band of choice in the mid-1970s. Their 1975 album The Proud One sold poorly (despite the title track providing a chart-topping easy listening hit and the group's last U.S. top-40 hit to date), and MGM Records was sold to PolyGram. Their first album on the subsidiary label Polydor was the album Brainstorm; that album sold only slightly better than its predecessor, and its lead single, \"I Can't Live a Dream,\" fell short of the top 40. Polydor would release two more albums from the family (a Christmas album that included all of the performing family members, and a greatest hits compilation).\nTelevision era\nThe Osmonds poured themselves into a new venture: the older brothers began producing The Donny & Marie Show which was a hit on ABC from 1976-1979.[9] But the success came at a cost. The family built and operated at great expense a first-class television studio in Orem, Utah, where the show was produced beginning in 1977.[9] As a result, the Osmonds as a performing band became a lower priority to Donny and Marie. The older brothers deferred or gave up their dreams of being a rock-and-roll band. Donny experienced stage anxiety and Marie had a brief bout with an eating disorder after a network executive told her she looked heavy.\nWhen the show was cancelled in 1979, the Osmonds were taken by surprise, as they had believed that the show would be renewed, and found themselves in debt and without a clear direction. The group switched from Polydor to corporate affiliate Mercury Records and attempted another album, Steppin' Out, which was a major failure with neither the album nor any of its singles charting anywhere; it would be their only album on that label. Steppin' Out was a transitional album for the Osmonds and was produced under the auspices of Maurice Gibb; among its tracks was the first recorded version of \"Rest Your Love on Me,\" a country song that would become a hit for Gibb's own group, the Bee Gees, and topped the country charts in a cover version by Conway Twitty. They produced two unsuccessful projects for Marie, a sitcom pilot that never aired and a variety show revival that lasted seven episodes in 1980 and 1981.[5]\nThey recovered and eventually paid their debts and re-established their careers. Rather than go into bankruptcy, they resolved to honor all of their financial obligations.[5] But the Osmond artists and enterprises began operating separately.\nLater careers\nThe Osmonds performed together in 1981 at The Front Row Theatre in Highland Heights, Ohio. This included all the brothers as well as Donny, Marie and Jimmy. Jay Osmond is the primary choreographer for the Osmond's concerts and some television concerts.\nJimmy worked as a businessman and manager. He eventually moved to Branson, Missouri, and opened the Osmond Family Theater, where he and his brothers performed until 2002. They appear in Branson during the Christmas season.[9]\nMarie recorded a number of successful duets with Donny and continued to sing country music; she had several Top 40 country hits in the mid-1980s, the biggest of which was \"Meet Me in Montana\" with Dan Seals (#1). She starred in the Broadway revivals of the musicals The King and I (as the lead, Anna) and The Sound of Music (as the lead, Maria) in the mid-1990s. She returned to television first in the short-lived 1995 ABC sitcom Maybe This Time and then with Donny in 1998 to co-host Donny & Marie, a talk/entertainment show that lasted two seasons.\nMarie suffered from postpartum depression and wanted to help other women who suffered from it. In 2001 Marie, Marcia Wilkie and Dr. Judith Moore wrote a book on postpartum depression titled, Marie Osmond Behind the Smile. Marie remarried her first husband Stephen Craig in 2011. She was able to wear the same wedding dress after 26 years.\nDonny returned to the pop music scene in 1989; when he released \"Soldier of Love\" to much success in the UK, American music industry insiders were wary of the Osmond brand and promoted the song as being by a \"mystery artist\". The song indeed became a turntable hit in this manner, and when Osmond's identity as the mystery artist was revealed, \"Soldier of Love\" eventually rose to number 2 on the US charts and was enough of a success to warrant a follow-up single, \"Sacred Emotion\", which peaked at #13. He performed on Broadway as Gaston in the stage production of Beauty and the Beast, and also gave over 2,000 performances as Joseph in the touring production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He has hosted games shows in the US and UK (most notably the 2002-2004 revival of Pyramid and the British version of Identity), continues to appear on television, winning the ninth season (Fall 2009) of ABC's Dancing with the Stars, and still tours in the US and England. Since September 2008, Donny & Marie have been performing a 90-minute show at The Flamingo Las Vegas.[16]\nThe show began back in September 2008 and was originally scheduled to run for 6 months. The response was so overwhelming that the Flamingo immediately asked for a two-year extension. The Donny & Marie Show is scheduled to continue through 2017. To date, Donny & Marie have been awarded \"The Best Show in Las Vegas\" for 2012, 2013, & 2014, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal. The showroom has even been renamed \"The Donny and Marie Showroom\" back in 2013.\nThe Osmonds performing in May 2008\nAlan, Wayne, Merrill and Jay returned to using the name \"The Osmond Brothers\" and, building on the boom in country pop crossover artists and drawing from the success of the covers of \"Rest Your Love on Me\" from the previous album, started focusing on recording country music full-time.[9] They had two top-30 Billboard Country hits in the early 1980s: \"I Think About Your Lovin'\" (#17) and \"It's Like Fallin' in Love (Over and Over)\" (#28), in addition to a handful that reached the bottom of or narrowly missed the top 40. The Osmond Brothers' record sales were hampered by a reluctance to go on tour; the group instead opted to stay in Branson, Missouri and promote their music through promotional music videos.[17] The brothers continue to perform with various line-ups and sometimes with their children in Branson.[9] Merrill performs and records as a solo artist as well; his biggest hit independent of his siblings was a duet with Jessica Boucher, \"You're Here to Remember, I'm Here to Forget\", a piece Merrill specifically chose to break from his family-friendly image (like Donny, Merrill had to hide his Osmond identity and recorded the song under the name \"Merrill and Jessica\") and which became a hit on the country charts in 1987.[18] Alan has multiple sclerosis, and does not perform as often today; likewise, Wayne, who survived a brain tumor in 1997, retired from the group in the early 2010s. All of the brothers are married, some with large families. Alan's eight sons started performing in the mid-1980s as \"The Osmond Boys\", now known as \"The Osmonds--Second Generation\".[19]\nIn 2007-2008 all of the Osmonds went on a tour of Europe to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their career in show business. A special televised concert in Las Vegas (the only tour stop in the US), commemorating the anniversary, aired on US PBS stations on March 10, 2008. Alan played piano with the orchestra for most of the show and Virl and Tom provided signed lyrics for two songs. The Osmonds' long-time friend and mentor Andy Williams made a surprise appearance, reminiscing about how his father had told him to put the brothers on his variety show.\nIn 2009, Donny and Marie Osmond recorded a television special for the British channel ITV1: An Audience with Donny and Marie, part of ITV's long running An Audience with... series was based on their Las Vegas stage show.[20]\nIn 2011, Wayne, Merrill and Jay performed in Findlay, Ohio on December 11. They performed some of their old songs as well as some Christmas music. They walked in the audience during part of the concert making it a family friendly concert.\nAs of 2015, Donny and Marie currently perform their residency in Las Vegas at The Flamingo and also tour extensively around the world, with Alan's son David Osmond occasionally filling in for Donny. Merrill, Jay and Jimmy also sing together at the Suncoast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, along with some limited touring, mostly in the UK. Since Andy Williams's death, Merrill, Jay and Jimmy took over operations of his long-running Christmas show, which they perform in Branson, Missouri in November. In 2012, the trio released their first studio album in 28 years, I Can't Get There Without You, which featured the recording debut of Jimmy as lead singer.\nOlive Osmond, mother of the Osmond siblings, died on May 9, 2004 at age 79. Their father, George Osmond, died on November 6, 2007 at age 90.[21] The couple was survived by their nine children and 55 grandchildren as well as a number of great-grandchildren; Olive by 22, George by 48. Before George Osmond's death, plans were being made for him and the 120 members of the Osmond family to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show to celebrate the family's 50th anniversary in show business. He died just a few days prior to the taping. The family ultimately decided to go on with the show as scheduled, and on Thursday, November 9, the entire Osmond family appeared on stage with Oprah Winfrey as a tribute to their father. The show aired the following day, the same day as George Osmond's funeral.\nIn 2003, the Osmond Family was honored for their achievements in the entertainment industry with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.\nThis section of a biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification.

        "raw_content": "Home Selling Process \u2013 A Complete Guide\nSelling a home is not as simple as putting up a \u2018for sale\u2019 sign and waiting for buyers to come to you. Here is a basic overview of the steps involved in selling your home.\nHiring the right agent is the most important thing you can do to get your home sold. 90% of all real estate is sold by 10% of the licensed agents. The \u201cbest\u201d agents first seek to understand the needs, timing and motivation of their clients by asking great questions and listening carefully to the answers. They rarely talk about themselves. They are devoted to outstanding customer service, knowing their market and the sale process and being well respected by their peers. They know how to negotiate with excellent communication skills and keep deals together rather than \u201ckill deals\u201d because of their misplaced ego. Smart consumers recognize the difference and insist on working with the \u201cbest\u201d.\n2. Establish a Pricing Strategy\nYour agent will sit down with you and assess the current state of the market and what comparable homes are actually selling for by reviewing the market statistics for homes like yours. This way, you can objectively determine its fair market value and strategically price the home to achieve the best results. All while taking your motivation and what you can and cannot do to the home into consideration.\nGet a Free Market Snapshot now to get an idea of what homes just like yours in your local area are selling for.\nMost of us don\u2019t keep our homes in top-selling condition. Your agent will work with you to help you see things from a buyer\u2019s point of view. Your agent will consult with you on what to repair, replace or remove so that your home makes a GREAT first impression. Sometimes bringing in a staging team can also be helpful to achieve even better results.\n4. Prepare Disclosures & Documentation\nAll homes in the US are subject to lead-based paint disclosures, it is a Federal Law. Some states also require material defects be disclosed to potential buyers. If you are aware of material facts, disclosing is the right thing to do to gain buyer confidence to purchase your home. If you belong to a Condominium or Homeowners Association, additional documentation, like budgets, rules and regs, financial statements, etc will be required. So preparing them now, is the right thing to do.\nYour agent should implement time-proven, research-based marketing strategies, and the latest visual, internet and social based techniques, as well as their specific relationships with the Realtor community and their personal and professional networks. Your home should be marketed with a plan that has the highest potential for bringing not only the most buyers, but also the right buyers to your doorstep.\nSee our Comprehensive Marketing Plan to Sell Your Home\n6. Allow for Showings\nYou\u2019ll want to make your home as available as possible to accommodate showings. Your agent should setup a supra key to allow showings by buyer agents with appointments. You may also have an open house for the public, and your agent can hold a \u201cbroker open tour\u201d to show the home to all of the Realtors in the area.\n7. Consider Offers, Negotiate, Accept\nWhen a buyer decides to buy your home, an offer will be presented. Your agent will advise you on the offer and whether the buyer is qualified to purchase your home. Most offers require some level of negotiation. Your agent will work with you to decide your parameters and will negotiate on your behalf to achieve your goals. Your Realtor should have specialized training in real estate sales negotiations. This is the most important factor in choosing the right agent.\n8. Open Escrow/Attorneys\nYour agent will open escrow, and introduce you to a talented real estate Attorney. Escrow protects all parties involved by making sure that no funds or properties change hands until all conditions in the agreement have been met. The Attorneys play an important role in in preparing the Purchase and Sales agreements, making sure that the Title is clear for a deed transfer to the new Buyer, and more. They will provide the Buyer with a Title Commitment through proper examination which also includes a search of any possible existing liens or open permits that exist for the property. If any existing liens or open permits exists they will have to be resolved prior to closing.\nOnce an offer on a property has been made by a buyer and accepted by the seller, they enter into a legal contract known as a Purchase and Sale Agreement. The purchase and sale agreement is signed approximately 2 weeks after the offer has been accepted and all home inspections have taken place. The purchase and sale agreement will also include any agreements reached about items found during the home inspection. This document outlines the specific terms and conditions of the transaction and is acknowledged by both parties by the signing of the document.\n10. Facilitate Property Inspection\nYour agent will work with the buyer\u2019s agent to coordinate an appraisal, inspections and a survey (if required). If the buyer requires that certain repairs be made on your home, your agent will continue to negotiate on your behalf and recommend vendors so you can move successfully from contract to closing. Also, in some states, your agent will coordinate with local water and fire departments for certifications and final readings.\nThe lender will order an appraisal to be done on the home to determine the value of the home and is worth the amount of money needed to purchase the property. The appraiser will schedule the appointment by contacting the listing agents office. The buyer does not attend an appraisal. This is the most important showing, and the listing agent should be prepared to prove the homes value to the banks appraiser. If the appraisal does not come in at full sale price, the buyers loan will be denied and the deal cancelled unless re-negotiated.\nThe day of or day before closing, the buyers will walk through your home to make sure it is in the same condition and nothing has changed since the accepted offer. If anything is missing and/or damaged, the closing may be stopped if the issue can\u2019t be resolved before closing.\nAt the closing, ownership of your property is legally transferred to the buyer. Your agent will be present to advise you and ensure that everything goes according to plan. As the seller, you will need to be prepared to hand over any necessary documentation regarding the property and, depending on the arrangements made during negotiations, you may be required to have done something specific in order to close. Be sure to read all the documents and ask questions. It is important you understand every document you are signing.",

        "title": "NASA Debunks End of World by Supernova Scenario",
        "raw_content": "Death by Supernova is off the list of end of the world scenarios.\nA doomsday prediction that a supernova explosion in 2012 will cause the end of the world is false. Astronomers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center say that there is no threatening star close enough to hurt Earth\nA supernova is an exploding star that expends more energy than normal. Supernovae or supernovas are extremely luminous and emit a powerful burst of radiation that often briefly outshines an entire galaxy. During this period a supernova can radiate as much energy as the Sun is expected to emit over its entire life span. The explosion expels much or all of a star's material at a velocity of up to 30,000 km/s (10% of the speed of light), driving a shock wave into the surrounding interstellar medium. This shock wave sweeps up an expanding shell of gas and dust called a supernova remnant.\nIt is estimated that one to two supernovae explode in the Milky Way each century. For the Earth's ozone layer to experience damage, the supernova should occur less than 50 light years away. All of the nearby stars capable of going supernova are much farther than this.\nThe closest star to the Earth is the Sun. And it is nowhere near to becoming a supernova. In terms of disruption the Earth encounters from the Sun is a coronal mass ejection. It is an explosion of the Sun's atmosphere that propagates into space in the form of a cloud. It can disrupt satellites, cell phones and cause electricity disruptions. To an extent, this is the worst we have experienced with the Sun\nVideo: The Crab Nebula is a remnant of a Supernova seen in the year 1054\nAny planet near a supernova will surely be affected. If it was the Earth, X- and gamma-ray radiation from the supernova could damage the ozone layer, which protects us from harmful ultraviolet light in the sun's rays. The less ozone there is, the more UV light reaches the surface. At some wavelengths, just a 10 percent increase in ground-level UV can be lethal to some organisms, including phytoplankton near the ocean surface. Because these organisms form the basis of oxygen production on Earth and the marine food chain, any significant disruption to them could cascade into a planet-wide problem.\nAnother explosive event, called a gamma-ray burst (GRB), is often associated with supernovae. When a massive star collapses on itself -- or, less frequently, when two compact neutron stars collide -- the result is the birth of a black hole. As matter falls toward a nascent black hole, some of it becomes accelerated into a particle jet so powerful that it can drill its way completely through the star before the star's outermost layers even have begun to collapse. If one of the jets happens to be directed toward Earth, orbiting satellites detect a burst of highly energetic gamma rays somewhere in the sky. These bursts occur almost daily and are so powerful that they can be seen across billions of light-years.\nVideo: Anatomy of a Solar Explosion\nA gamma-ray burst could affect Earth in much the same way as a supernova -- and at much greater distance -- but only if its jet is directly pointed our way. Astronomers estimate that a gamma-ray burst could affect Earth from up to 10,000 light-years away with each separated by about 15 million years, on average. So far, the closest burst on record, known as GRB 031203, was 1.3 billion light-years away.\nAs with impacts, our planet likely has already experienced such events over its long history, but there's no reason to expect a gamma-ray burst in our galaxy to occur in the near future, much less in December 2012.\nFear no supernova\nScientists Discover Huge Cloud of Water in Outer Space\nStars Discovered Producing Complex Organic Compounds\nDefending The Earth From Asteroids\nA Small Planet Hidden in the Asteroid Belt?\nLabels: astrophysics, NASA, Outer Space, science, Space Exploration",

        "raw_content": "Episode 14- Traveling\nThe Hosts Ravi Gundlapalli & Rajesh Setty talk about Traveling and it being an enriching experience. Learn how traveling can change your worldview and perspectives in a powerful way. Great humour in this episode.\nRavi: Hi welcome to episode number 14 of Spontaneous Conversations. The topic we selected before we hit the record button is traveling. The joy of travel or the power of traveling. This is Ravi Gundlapalli, founder, CEO of Mentor Cloud.\nRajesh: This is Rajesh Setty, I\u2019m a serial entrepreneur in the Bay Area.\nRavi: Excellent, you know Rajesh, I love travel. Maybe that\u2019s why the topic came to my mind, and I find traveling is such an amazing way to meet new people, and kind of have some time for yourself to kind of reflect on where you are going, and I\u2019ve had some amazing, amazing stories just on traveling; going to new places. So, that\u2019s the first thought that comes to my mind is I love to travel.\nRajesh: Yeah, I\u2019m with you. I used to travel until we had our son Sumukh in 1998, Kavitha and I traveled to Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, France, Belgium; finally, we came here. And my life is so much more interesting because of the travel. In fact, my dad had a just government job as an engineer in the Public Works department so, we almost had no choice, Ravi, but to travel every three years to a different city, cause you\u2026with the passport, and whole family will move. And that time, I would think, when I travel to a new town, or city or place or anything, which means, I just let go of my relationships with my friends, my colleagues, school, teachers, and everything.\nRavi: Hmm, you were constantly moving.\nRajesh: Well, it was a nomad kind of thing. With looking back, I think that was one of the best things to have happened to me. Because now, I have pockets of networks; from my childhood school, my private school, from middle school, from high school, from college. In India in college, everywhere I travel, there\u2019s groups of people, each with a different mind-set, different outlook in life; from a different city, different outlook, different backgrounds. So, that alone changed the perspective with which I look at life, which is change is inevitable.\nRavi: Exactly, and especially in today\u2019s world, we have to work with people from all over the world. Like with different ways they think so, by having that outlook towards traveling, and really meeting new people, your ability to work in teams that have people from other parts of the world becomes that much better because you\u2019re that much more understanding of other people\u2019s perspectives right?\nRajesh: Yeah, because remember Ravi, we wanted to make it a fun episode, I\u2019ll tell you a traveling story, and I went and told this to before. Right after I left Madras I moved to Malaysia. Used to work in a place called Patel and [indiscernible 3:19] and [indiscernible 03:22] is like a big. I know that there will be different cities; it\u2019s like in Bay[inaudible 03:27-03:32]. Kavitha had not joined me yet, and the office was in [foreign language 03:37] so, and I asked them, oh, will the cab pick me up, what should I do. He said, no, it\u2019s very easy. And the guy drew a map, just walk. It\u2019s like less than, less than a mile so you can just be a great time to walk. I said, OK, no problem, but I did not want to miss the house. So, I went walking and then I was noting down landmarks.\nSo, and at the end of the street, there was a sign called Jalan sehala. I said OK, now I got it, Jalan sehala is where I live. And I went to the office and they greeted me, and everything. And they asked, where are you staying Mr. Setty? I said I stay in a company guesthouse in Jalan sehala. Company guest house, they said, where we have 16 guest houses, which one? I said the one in Jalan sehala, and they all started laughing, and I was thinking, what is\u2026 And then I looked at my notes and it was clear, it was Jalan sehala only. They said are you sure? I said, yeah, yeah, I\u2019m very sure, I wrote it down, and so, I showed them. Then one of them explained Jalan sehala means one way street.\nRavi: [laughs] So, that\u2019s a great, that\u2019s a very interesting story. You know, how important it is to know that sort of the local language and so I think again, traveling is an opportunity to have some fun in life, to reflect. One of the episodes we talked about, white space. So, traveling can be a best way to choreograph that white space; and traveling with friends because you get to talk about things that you normally don\u2019t talk when life is so busy when you\u2019re driving to work, coming back and making meals, and catching up on shopping and stuff. You got to create some time where you get to know people and I\u2019ve had some amazing trips with people and I know exactly who they are and what really drives them every morning. It\u2019s not their job. Everybody has something that they really believe in and you can only explore that when they go on trips with people.\nRajesh: Yeah, I agree with you. In fact, I always believed, until our kid was born, I always believed that not only we had to travel, we had to just live there, so that way you get a very different perspective. So, one is travel; you get to see all the tourist places when you live there, you get to see not so touristy places, which is where the real life happens and that\u2019s a different perspective altogether.\nRavi: It\u2019s almost, you know, you traveling to [inaudible 06:10] Is that a good way to say it?\nRajesh: Yeah, beautiful.\nRavi: Because you discover a lot about yourself; about your habits, about your\u2026 like for example, two years ago we went to Mexico City, sorry not Mexico City, Mexico, to build homes for the homeless people. And we went with about 500 people; students and we had to live in tents with no running water for a week. And we were building homes which we have never done. And while the trip sounds very strenuous, it helped us discover as a family, as friends, what really brought us joy. It\u2019s not the shower in the morning, it\u2019s not a a plate full of breakfast or anything, but it\u2019s the joy of living for somebody else that we discovered it. And since then my wife and I and my daughter were looking for ways to be of impact to other people. Because you can always travel to see, take photos, put on Facebook. Everybody\u2019s happy. But what have you done? People have done that. But imagine trips like this where you are doing things because, and you\u2019re having fun because of took a totally different reason.\nRajesh: Yeah, I totally agree with you. So, travel with some purpose which is higher than OK, let\u2019s just go and have fun. It makes it even more interesting.\nRavi: Yeah, I mean, I\u2019m like, so one of the things that I want the listeners to keep thinking is when you travel, just don\u2019t go for taking photos or kind of checking off boxes. Yeah. I\u2019ve seen the leaning tower of Pisa. I\u2019ve seen it, I\u2019ve seen Paris. But really, yes, that\u2019s important. We all have to do those things. They\u2019re all part of the bucket list, but I challenge everybody when you\u2019re going to travel, use the excuse as a way to increase your network. Make friends with somebody. Suddenly now you now have a friend in Paris, and a friend in Italy. And because of the social networks power, we can actually be in touch with them. And who knows, five, six years from now, somebody will be needing some help in Italy and you have somebody you can help. And you\u2019re using travel as a way to increase your network I think is one, I would like people to be conscious about.\nRajesh: Have I introduced you to my friend Kiruba Shankar?\nRavi: No, I\u2019ve heard the name before.\nRajesh: Kiruba is the instigator for a set of conferences I do called Cerebrate. Like celebrate, cerebrate the brain. So, Kiruba and I have been friends for close to 15 years now and he has, he\u2019s also a big traveler. He speaks at conferences and everything. Exactly, he\u2019s a good example of what you said? Travel with a way to enrich his own network can also be a contribution to the networks that he touches. And one of the things he said, Raj, you don\u2019t have to even travel. So, he opens up his coach to some interesting people that come to Chenai. So, and then very interesting people stay there and then what do they do, they have conversations. They\u2019ll have conversations with the, it\u2019s free of course, if they want they can pay for it, but it\u2019s not the important thing because they come from\u2026 somebody comes from South America.\nSomebody comes from Ireland, and then they finish their work in Chennai, and of course they have a meal and during the meal and after the meal, what will they do? They share who they are. Why did they come there?\nRavi: It opens up a new world, isn\u2019t it?\nRajesh: These kids are so enriched [inaudible 09:59] \u2026 in Calcutta. They themselves are so enriched because they get to meet their uncles and aunts from somewhere else, right? Because they\u2019re strangers, it becomes uncles and aunts for them and they get to learn from the best minds from all over the world. Right in their hall.\nRavi: Yeah. Because again, you can either travel to have those experiences or you can, bring travelers to you. And again, it\u2019s basically travel for business or travel with family. You always want to make sure that there is more to it than just taking photos and having food in a place and having stories that are all about you.\nRajesh: In fact, one of my friends Phil Gabishack, he gives keynote speeches and everything; he always tells me that whenever he travels, that he tries to find the people in the local scenery. When he comes to the Bay area, and when he is meeting with me, he\u2019ll also invite somebody else that I might not have met in the local area, but here they are friends with him. So, we all have a meal together, now not only he reconnected with me and a few other friends, he also expanded my network in the local area.\nRavi: That\u2019s very, very true. Again, once you have the network of friends in various parts of the world, when you travel, you can actually kind of help other people expand their network. Right?\nRajesh: Yes\nRavi: That\u2019s beautiful.\nRajesh: And Jason and Jody, our friends, they always do coffee chats.\nRavi: Yes, yes. In fact, I was just thinking about it because Jason does this\u2026 whenever he goes, he travels, what, 200 days a year. And he has a full bundle of energy. And this whole idea of coffee chats is so powerful because just going to\u2026 let\u2019s say I have a talk in New York. OK. I land there, I give a talk and I just come. Of course, I\u2019m going to Starbucks to have a cup of coffee, but instead of just sitting there, here we are with someone with so much experience in a particular domain, why not make that an event and invite some people to come. I think Jason\u2019s idea is just awesome because how many brilliant people walk through Starbucks without ever having a conversation.\nRajesh: I totally agree with you. In fact, I met some amazing people. Just by listening on Twitter. Sometimes, the first person I remember is the CEO of Redfin, called Glenn Kelman. So, he was somebody. He was supposed to meet someone in Mountain View, but that person was running late, like two hours or something. So, he tweeted out, I am here at Mountain View, I\u2019m all alone if somebody wants to come and chat with me. So, I was here in Cupertino, I said I\u2019m there. And then we just met because he\u2019s from Seattle or Portland, I don\u2019t remember. But he was open and willing to have a conversation and we both had a great time talking all because I just there wait, I was looking for an opportunity. I was able to rearrange everything and his travel, made one more new friend for me.\nRavi: Fantastic, in fact, on our platform, we are encouraging this notion of open office hours, where you can make this available when you go on a trip. Could then maybe somebody that\u2019s guaranteed that somebody in that part of the world can benefit from your presence, from your expertise, from your perspective, and just kind of telling them that you\u2019re there. So definitely even if you go with the family, you don\u2019t want to make this all through the travel, but at least one morning like for example Jason does, it\u2019s so beautiful because he\u2019s making his presence kind of his leaving an impression in a way. Not just going to have a cup of coffee and coming out; six or 10 other people are kind of learning something from each other.\nRajesh: Yes. And also, I don\u2019t remember who said it, but he said it very beautifully. He is from a business development and sales angle, he said you weren\u2019t in another city for a meeting, right? So, let\u2019s say you go for a meeting and then they have five, six hours to just to be there because you can\u2019t time everything, but he says it is very easy to get meetings when you\u2019re traveling. You supposedly want to go to\u2026 you are in Seattle and you wanted to meet a bunch of people and then you went to Seattle to meet, maybe it\u2019s one person John and he wanted to make Bob, Becky and a Mallory, and he\u2019ll reach out to all of them, and he says, I\u2019m here for a day. Do you have 15, 20 minutes to have coffee. He might have had difficulty meeting them, but they know that he\u2019s here only for a day. If there is anything that they can rearrange, they will because he\u2019s here only for the day.\nRavi: Exactly. And you know, most people are kind of in the contemplate, they\u2019re accommodating. They are good people. So, I think this whole topic of travel, again, it\u2019s about unraveling certain things that you haven\u2019t discovered about yourself, so rather than just looking at your project alone, whether it\u2019s a family project or a business project, use the travel. Any idle time you have to do something special like Jason Womack\u2019s coffee chats, like basically going and visiting a local organization or the church or somewhere where you can leave your impressions, and you would come back extremely enriched.\nRajesh: Yes, not to put so much pressure on people. I also say that, suppose you are writing a book and because in your hometown, you\u2019re always having a lot of meetings and you meet a lot of people, you have no time, you can use the travel to complete those pending projects because there is nobody else there. And then it can save it for the three days in a row, I\u2019ll be in a hotel room; let me use this and go on a sprint to complete my projects. That\u2019s another way to look at it.\nRavi: Absolutely. So, travel is another excellent way to get things done that you always wanted to do and it allows you for that space. So, I think in closing, travel is not just to see a place or check off a box, but it can open up a new world of people, of mindsets that will become very, very handy as you go. And you never know. A single trip can be an inflection point.\nRajesh: Yeah, beautifully said. In fact, continuing what you said, travel may not be checking off boxes. It could also be for creating new boxes to check off later.\nRavi: Ah, interesting. Excellent way [laughs]. OK with that shall we close? I\u2019m Ravi Gundlapalli at Mentor Cloud dot com.\nRajesh: This is Rajesh Setty, you can read more about me on my blog, Rajesh Setty dot com slash blog.",

        "title": "Bennet, Gardner join forces to back DREAM Act aimed at saving DACA program - Real Vail",
        "raw_content": "Bennet, Gardner join forces to back DREAM Act aimed at saving DACA program\nMore bipartisanship wafted out of Colorado toward Washington on Tuesday, like so much smoke from western wildfires. But will it matter for DACA recipients who saw their dreams of citizenship go up in Trump administration smoke on Tuesday?\nJust like Govs. John Hickenlooper and John Kasich crossed the aisle last week on healthcare, Colorado Sens. Cory Gardner and Michael Bennet joined hands on DACA on Tuesday, cosponsoring the DREAM Act to protect from deportation and provide a pathway to citizenship for the nearly 800,000 recipients of the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.\nGardner, a Republican and longtime DACA opponent, did a 180 after overwhelming condemnation of the Trump administration\u2019s decision on Tuesday not to defend the program against legal challenges from GOP hardline immigration attorney generals in 10 red states. The administration essentially gave Congress six months to protect Dreamers \u2014 more than 17,000 of them in Colorado \u2014 legislatively.\n\u201cChildren who came to this country without documentation, through no fault of their own, must have the opportunity to remain here lawfully,\u201d Gardner said in a release. \u201cI\u2019m proud to join with Sen. Bennet and cosponsor the Dream Act to provide certainty to the thousands of law-abiding Coloradan Dreamers and demonstrate bipartisan leadership on this important issue. I have long called for an overhaul of our country\u2019s immigration system and believe this is an important step. I will continue to work with Sen. Bennet and our colleagues in the Senate to move this bill forward into law.\u201d\nBennet, a Democrat who in 2013 was part of the Gang of Eight senators who successfully passed an immigration reform bill in the Senate \u2014 only to see it die at the hands of then-Speaker John Boehner in the House \u2014 was waiting for another Republican to sign onto the Dream Act so he could add his name.\n\u201cThe Dream Act offers a promising solution amid a time of uncertainty for hundreds of thousands of young immigrants around the country\u2014especially in light of the president\u2019s decision [Tuesday] to rescind DACA,\u201d Bennet said. \u201cWhile comprehensive immigration reform should remain a long-term solution, we also need a more immediate fix to protect Dreamers. I have long supported legislation that makes clear what we already know: supporting Dreamers boosts our economy, strengthens our national security, and aligns with our values. Congress must move quickly to pass this legislation.\u201d\nBut just like in 2013, getting the DREAM Act out of the Senate may not be the hard part. The bill faces a much tougher test in the House, where it would likely be tied to a broader immigration-security package, including possible funding for President Donald Trump\u2019s ubiquitous border-wall campaign promise.\nImmigration hawks like Colorado Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton seem unlikely to back a DACA-only reprieve. telling the Denver Post better border security was also a top priority. However, Tipton also released this official statement on Tuesday:\n\u201cPresident Obama circumvented the Constitution when he unilaterally created the DACA program without going through the legislative process [in 2012],\u201d Tipton said. \u201c[Tuesday\u2019s] announcement by Attorney General Sessions shows this administration\u2019s commitment to the rule of law. While I do not support the unilateral DACA program, I believe Congress must act to develop a compassionate and commonsense solution for the children who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents. These individuals have grown up in the United States and are now upstanding, valued members of our communities. They should not be punished for a decision that was made by their parents years ago.\u201d\nU.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo.\nGardner and Bennet have at least one Colorado ally in the House. U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, a Republican who formerly opposed DACA, is now looking to save the program with a legislative maneuver explained in this press release:\nCoffman Initiates Discharge Petition to Force DACA Vote\nWashington, D.C., September 5, 2017 \u2014 Today, U.S. Representative Mike Coffman (R-CO) used a legislative maneuver known as a \u201cdischarge petition\u201d to attempt to force a floor vote on a bipartisan bill, H.R. 496 the Bar Removal of Individuals who Dream and Grow our Economy Act, BRIDGE Act, that he introduced in January with U.S. Representative Louis Gutierrez (D-IL). The BRIDGE Act would extend Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA for another three years to give Congress time to find a permanent solution for the young people who were brought to the United States as children. An identical version was also introduced in January in the Senate, S. 128, by Senators Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Dick Durbin (D-IL). The DACA program is for undocumented immigrants who were taken to the United States illegally when they were under 16 years of age, have graduated from or are enrolled in high school and can pass a criminal background check.\n\u201cI\u2019ve met many of these young people in Colorado who were brought to the United States as children and who grew up here, who went to school here and who often know of no other country. The DACA program that has given them an opportunity to come out of the shadows, legally work, and pursue higher education,\u201d said Coffman.\nCoffman\u2019s discharge petition would require the 218 signatures needed to reflect the will of the majority to force the bill to the floor for a vote. Otherwise, legislation requires the consent of the leadership from the majority party, since 2011 the House has been under Republican control. What is different about Coffman\u2019s use of the discharge petition is that it has been a tool for members of the minority party against the majority but not by a member of the majority party against the leadership of his own party.\n\u201cI see the discharge petition as a way to bring legislation to the floor should Republican leadership fail to allow a floor vote on a bill to protect these young people,\u201d said Coffman.\nPresident Donald Trump announced today that he would be suspending the DACA program but would allow six months for Congress to pass legislation that would take care of the constitutional question of, under former President Barack Obama, creating immigration laws through executive orders without the consent of Congress.\nOn June 29, 2017, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote a letter to the. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions demanding that the Trump Administration either suspend the DACA program or that he would file a lawsuit in a federal district court to challenge the constitutionality of the program. Paxton had led a successful court challenge against a similar Obama-era executive order designed to give a temporary legal status to the parents of the DACA participants. The never implemented program was called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, or DAPA. The court ruled that the program was invalid because a president cannot unilaterally make immigration laws without the legislative branch. Paxton could use similar language, if not identical, to challenge DACA. His letter was signed by 9 other Republican attorneys general.\n\u201cThis is an opportunity for Congress to address the Constitutional problem associated with DACA and to protect these young people until a more permanent solution can be found,\u201d concluded Coffman.\n2 Responses to Bennet, Gardner join forces to back DREAM Act aimed at saving DACA program\nJohn lemaster Reply\nYou mean did a 180 not 360. 360 is a complete circle and would be facing/saying the same thing he did before. A 180 is like an \u201cabout face\u201d facing opposite the original direction. Like I don\u2019t support DACA but now I do.\nGood catch. Thanks, John. Fixed it.

        "title": "5 Reasons Why Drug Rehab Is Harder for Women. | Rebelle Society",
        "raw_content": "The opioid crisis doesn\u2019t discriminate, so why is it so tricky for women to get help?\nAccording to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, every three minutes a woman checks into an ER somewhere in the United States for prescription painkiller misuse or abuse. Around 4% of women in the US demonstrate symptoms of Alcohol Use Disorder in any given year, and over 20% of women engaged in binge drinking in the last month.\nOh, and there\u2019s a buzzy new magazine devoted to women in the marijuana industry too.\nIn short, we know women are using, for better or for worse.\nBut, curiously, ladies are diagnosed with Substance Use Disorder (SUD) at only about half the rate of guys in the US.\nEven more alarming: women only make up 30% of people in treatment.\nSome argue that women are naturally more addiction-resistant, despite evidence that women become addicted to drugs of abuse more quickly than men, even when they use smaller amounts for a shorter period of time.\nAs a former substance abuse counselor, I started to sense that something was up with the gender disparity in addiction treatment. After delving deep into the research and talking to ladies affected by addiction, I found there are five big reasons why it\u2019s more tough for women to get treatment.\nReason #1: Women\u2019s Substance Abuse Patterns are Easier to Ignore\nWhen we think of a stereotypical addict, we think of someone who is publicly hitting rock bottom. Oftentimes, this means showing up to work loaded, missing work, losing a job, getting arrested, or wrecking a car. You\u2019ll see these same signs of rock bottom repeated in a lot of addiction literature \u2014 it\u2019s even in the stuff designed to train counselors to spot the hallmarks of addiction.\nCan these consequences of addiction apply to women? Certainly. Women can and do face all of these consequences of addiction everyday.\nHowever, a large percentage of women don\u2019t work outside the home, which means that these classic signs of addiction won\u2019t always apply. For women who work inside the home, there are fewer witnesses to the increasingly out-of-control behavior associated with a spiraling addiction. Frequently, these women are able to hide their addiction from everyone, including their close family.\nTo make matters worse, an addict is likely to be surrounded by people at home who tolerate, ignore, or even enable their behavior.\nWithout the additional eyes of coworkers, colleagues, and supervisors, women who work inside the home can easily pass their addiction under the radar, making treatment less likely.\nReason #2: Being a Caregiver Makes It Hard to Take Care of Yourself\nIt\u2019s no secret that women shoulder most of the burden for caregiving in our country. Sure, women are socialized to be more caring than men, but there\u2019s definitely more to this trend.\nBecause women are systematically paid less than men, and because they face more gender-related obstacles in nurturing fulfilling careers, it often makes more sense financially for a family to choose to have a woman stay home and do the unpaid labor of caregiving. This important, uncelebrated work ranges from caring for children, to nursing the elderly, to assisting the disabled.\nWhen a woman with caregiving responsibilities is suffering with addiction, it is much more difficult for her to seek treatment, and often impossible for her to enroll in residential treatment. While there are a few programs that allow women to attend with their children, the need for such treatment far outweighs program availability.\nWhile employers sometimes allow unpaid leave or even paid time off to attend treatment, no such amenities are available to women with unpaid caregiving roles.\nEven when a replacement is available \u2014 in the example of a relative or friend volunteering to take over caregiving responsibilities for the duration of treatment \u2014 many women don\u2019t feel comfortable leaving their children (or other caregiving recipients, like elderly parents) in the care of others.\nThis is a massive barrier to treatment for many women.\nReason #3: Babymaking While Addicted is Still a Crime in Many States\nWhile men active in their addiction face no consequences for procreating, women are exposed to criminal charges in many places for simply getting knocked up while using. So-called chemical endangerment and fetal assault laws disproportionately affect highly policed populations, like women of color and women experiencing poverty.\nWomen who get pregnant while addicted can face jail time if their baby is born with signs of maternal drug abuse.\nRather than curb drug use in addicted women, these laws result in dangerous behaviors for both mother and child. In states with these punitive laws, some women resort to giving birth without medical assistance, crossing state lines while in labor, abandoning their babies immediately after birth, avoiding post-natal care, or choosing unwanted abortions, all in an effort to avoid criminal charges.\nClearly, the compelling need to employ these evasive maneuvers to avoid jail time makes it far less likely that a woman will choose treatment if she is pregnant in states with chemical endangerment laws. Women in these circumstances need help, not punishment.\nReason #4: Most Treatment Programs Were Designed by Men for Men\nAddiction, for many years, was perceived as primarily a male problem. It should come as no surprise, then, that the addiction treatment industry was pioneered by men, in service of (mostly) other men.\nEarly efforts to address addiction \u2014 inebriate homes, asylums, drunk tanks, alcoholism cures \u2014 were all designed for men. In 1939, when The Big Book was first published, the idea of addiction as a disease began to germinate. Although The Big Book and AA have helped many women get sober, the program was designed by men with a mostly male audience in mind.\nMuch has been said about the problem of sexism in mixed-gender 12-step programs. Many women find the seemingly pure concepts of fellowship and mutual aid espoused in 12-step programs muddied with unchecked sexism, unwelcome advances, and abuses of the sponsor-sponsee relationship.\nThe so-called 13th step \u2014 where men with clean time use the program to systematically seek out freshly sober young women \u2014 is an unwritten reality of the program. Because of the leaderless nature of the fellowship, there is no codified system for addressing these bad actors.\nWhile all-female meetings might help address this problem, the feeling that the program was designed as a boys\u2019 club remains for many women.\nReason #5: Most Evidence-Based Treatment Is Based on Studies of Men\nAs with other types of medicine, addiction medicine is not free of inherent gender bias. Although addiction medicine has improved over the last few decades with an increasing focus on evidence-based treatment, all too often this evidence is collected using an all-male participation sample.\nWhy is this a problem? Because we know that women\u2019s bodies react to addiction, treatment, and recovery differently from men\u2019s bodies. Especially in medication-assisted treatment, where pharmaceuticals are used to help with recovery, it\u2019s important to specifically measure the safety and efficacy of the medicine for women\u2019s bodies. All too often, these studies are simply not being done.\nIt\u2019s Time to Prioritize Women\u2019s Recovery\nWomen clearly face a lot of barriers to treatment that men just simply don\u2019t have to deal with. I saw this again and again in my own work as a substance abuse counselor. Childcare duties got in the way of my clients\u2019 appointments, and school drop-offs interfered with group attendance.\nWomen who needed help went for years without being recognized and diagnosed because they weren\u2019t facing consequences in a traditional 9-to-5.\nWhen women don\u2019t work outside the home, they are more likely to have their addiction fly under the radar. When women are saddled with caregiving responsibilities, they are less free to seek the treatment they need. When women are punished for their reproductive function, access to treatment suffers.\nWhen women are forced into treatment programs that fail to address their unique experience, they are unlikely to thrive. When women don\u2019t have access to evidence-based treatment that takes into account the well-being of their bodies, they are denied the same level of care available to men.\nWomen\u2019s addiction is systematically invisibilized, ignored, criminalized and trivialized. It\u2019s time we as a country start prioritizing women\u2019s recovery. After all, we are over 50% of the population. We deserve access to good, reliable treatment too.\nErin Gilday is an author, activist, and former substance abuse counselor. She likes classic cars, industrial sewing machines and The X-Files.

        "raw_content": "Korean Lifesciences Company ViroCure USA Joins USF\u2019s Tampa Bay Technology Incubator\nCompany in partnership with Moffitt Cancer Center, USF to develop viruses into disease-fighters\nTAMPA, Fla. \u2013 ViroCure USA, Inc., a spinoff company from Korea's Dankook University, has joined the University of South Florida's Tampa Bay Technology Incubator where it is working with Moffitt Cancer Center and USF researchers on developing human and animal viruses into potential cancer treatments.\nViroCure USA focuses on developing three \"good\" viruses \u2013 a respiratory enteric virus isolated from humans and two additional viruses isolated from rabbits and squirrels \u2013 as potential anti-cancer agents and hopes to identify more potential viruses in the coming years. Scientists have considered the use of viruses as cancer fighters since the 1920s.\nManbok Kim, ViroCure's founder and CEO, created a research lab focusing on viruses as anti-cancer agents at Dankook University in 2013 and three years later launched ViroCure as a spinoff company. Working in labs in the Tampa Bay Technology Incubator, ViroCure scientists will be exploring further studies on how the viruses can suppress tumors in humans and animals by infecting the cancer cell.\n\"Our goal is to identify good viruses hidden in nature and twenty different oncolytic viral or vaccine species for cancer and other therapeutics by 2020 and to offer affordable treatments,\" Kim said.\nViroCure currently has three potential viruses under development: ReoCure, a human virus that is being tested against gastric cancer; MyxoCure, a naturally occurring virus in rabbits that is being tested in animal tumors; and SquiCure, a naturally-occurring poxvirus in squirrels that shows potential in fighting animal tumors. Researchers are conducting studies on whether the viruses are safe and effective either alone or in combination and what types of cancers might be addressed. \"USF's TBTI provides access to critical research equipment and state of the art shared wet lab space to help our resident companies further their important research using the latest scientific equipment,\" said Valerie Landrio McDevitt, associate vice president for technology transfer and business partnerships.\nThe University of South Florida's Tampa Bay Technology Incubator (TBTI) is one vehicle through which USF CONNECT grows successful companies. TBTI supports technology research as a catalyst for economic development and advocates the creation and development of facilities for high-technology companies and related support functions. USF CONNECT focuses on the needs of Tampa Bay's technology and bio/life sciences entrepreneurs throughout the business life cycle, providing the facilities, partners, and resources for successful business development. USF CONNECT offers access to technologies, workforce programs, technology commercialization, critical research equipment, and incubator facilities, adding value and delivering targeted, high level expertise to its member businesses.\nThe University of South Florida, established in 1956 and located in Tampa, is a high-impact, global research university dedicated to student success. The USF System includes three, separately accredited institutions: USF; USF St. Petersburg; and USF Sarasota-Manatee. Serving more than 49,000 students, the USF System has an annual budget of $1.6 billion and an annual economic impact of $4.4 billion. USF is ranked in the Top 30 nationally for research expenditures among public universities, according to the National Science Foundation. In 2016, the Florida Legislature designated USF as \u201cEmerging Preeminent\u201d, placing USF in an elite category among the state's 12 public universities. USF is a member of the American Athletic Conference.",

The main aspect of the project was to produce a variety of characters inspired by the illusion of fragmented realities and compile them into a usable pictorial catalogue.\nThe movie is based on on-going pencil drawing series of the artist. All the characters are sketched and crafted non-digitally at first stage and were later adapted and prepared for the digital production of the animation. The hand-drawn/crafted process is not only a preparation for the digital production of the animation. The hand made products will sometimes be directly incorporated into the animation using e.g. stop motion technique.\nWithout a linear story line, the transformation and interaction of the overall characters will lead the narrative of the animation. Endless reincarnations will transform character identities' as the narrative will be based on the rhythmic structure of music.\nCURIOUS CHARACTERS - 4min\nThe animation features hundreds of characters from 7 categories - ghost, human, animal, insect, machine, monster and mutant.\nThis program is supported by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.\nEunjung Hwang - CURIOUS CHARACTERS\nScreening Special Features 2014",

        "raw_content": "Head above Water (1996): Is the Movie above Water Too?\nWhile it is easy to understand why Cameron Diaz would participate in a movie like Head above Water at the dawn of her career, it is not so easy to explain what Harvey Keitel is doing there. Because Head above Water is not a good film. It's boring, alienated and even predictable despite its numerous twists. It's a decent movie to watch on the TV but it's hardly a deserving feature to see in a movie theater.\nThe 3rd effort of Jim Wilson as director sports a small cast: the complete credited cast consists only of 5 actors. And while there are great movies with even smaller number of people participating in them, it is not the case here. The movie is about Nathalie (Cameron Diaz), an ex-drug addict and his husband George (Harvey Keitel), a famous and respected judge. They are on vacation at her summer house on an island where also lives Nathalie's childhood friend Lance (Craig Sheffer) who is not indifferent to Nathalie either. Suddenly, Nathalie's ex-lover Kent (Billy Zane) arrives while George and Lance are on a fishing trip and after some obscure circumstances, Kent turns out to be naked and dead in Nathalie's bed on the next morning and at the same time her husband and friend return from their trip. A series of messy events begins and everything becomes just more complicated and confusing towards the end of the movie. Thankfully, the number of characters and thus also the relationships between them decrease progressively so at least this is a relief.\nThe movie is billed as comedy / thriller and while it is a thriller, it can hardly be called a comedy, even a dark one. There are only occasional funny moments and even the funniest parts are mainly in the vein of weaker dark comedies. Head above Water tries to set several records: for a number of times a woman sets her free from fastening in a single movie; for the greatest number of lame fastenings; and maybe it also aims at the record for most unconvincing twists. That the film is not amongst the most believable ones should have become already well visible.\nThe acting is not necessarily bad although there is not much room for showing incredible acting abilities in Head above Water. Harvey Keitel has had definitely better roles and Cameron Diaz is not as beautiful as in other movies. Billy Zane's short screen appearance is also not among his most memorable performances. The direction is decent although far from perfect and the screenplay could be much more interesting and feasible.\nIf you catch Head above Water accidentally on the television and you don't have anything better to do, you can watch it. But then again, think how to avoid situations like this. Watching a second grade movie should not be your best occupation at any time.\nExplore the Review Maze to discover more movie reviews.\nWhat Is Wrong with Sedo Domain Parking Program?\nNameDrive.com Domain Parking - Park Domain Names a...\nHead above Water (1996): Is the Movie above Water ...",

        "raw_content": "Air pollution exposure at schools may increase the risk of overweight in children\nExposure to air pollution, especially at school, may be associated with an increased risk of overweight and obesity in childhood, a study by the Institute of Global Health of Barcelona (ISGlobal) suggested. The research included data of 2,660 children between 7 and 10 years old from 39 primary schools in the city of Barcelona.\nPreviously, some research had already linked exposure to air pollution with an increased risk of childhood overweight and obesity. However, these works are scarce and have focused mainly on exposure to air pollution around the home, without taking into account the school environment.\nThe study, published in Environment International and carried out in the framework of the BREATHE project, was for the first time to study the risk of obesity and overweight in relation to exposure to air pollution, both at school and in the home, both micro-environments where school children spend more time.\nThe team collected the weight and height data of the students, calculated their body mass index and the level of overweight or obesity. Then, they measured the contamination of outdoor air in schools. Specifically they measured the levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), fine (PM2.5) and ultrafine particles, and elemental carbon (EC). These pollutants were collected with sensors located in the school yards during a week in summer and another in winter. The levels of exposure to NO2, NOx, PM2.5, PM10 and coarse particles (PM-coarse) in the dwellings were also estimated.\n\u201cWe observed that girls and boys exposed to medium or high levels of air pollution \u2013ultrafine particles, NO2, PM2.5 and EC\u2013 in schools were more likely to be overweight or obese, compared to those exposed to low levels,\u201d concludes Jeroen de Bont, first author of the study and researcher of ISGlobal and IDIAP Jordi Gol.\nAt home, exposure to higher levels of PM10 was also associated with more likely to be overweight or obese in childhood, although in this case the analysis was made from estimates of exposure levels.\n\u201cIt should be specified that it is a study with limitations, so we must take the results with caution,\u201d explains coordinator of the study Martine Vrijheid, ISGlobal researcher.\n\u201cBeing a cross-sectional research, it only shows data from a specific moment in time, so we do not have enough data to evaluate the nature of the association we have found. In order to draw more solid conclusions, it would be necessary to carry out a new study with a longitudinal approach to follow up on the participants over time,\u201d she adds.\nRegarding the mechanism that explains the relationship between air pollution and overweight, some previous studies in animals suggest that \u201cexposure to contamination can induce oxidative stress, insulin resistance and systemic inflammation, factors that are known to contribute to the development of obesity,\u201d de Bont explains.\nThe majority of children were exposed to levels of air pollution above the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation, both at home and at school. Specifically, more than 75% were exposed to PM2.5 levels higher than those recommended (10 \u03bcg/m3) and more than 50% breathed NO2 levels higher than those considered safe (40\u03bcg/m3).",

Melchor Sanchez de Toca Alameda, head of the council's \"Culture and Sport\" section, told Catholic News Service Jan. 16 that pro sports \"have become a commodity that is subordinate to the free market and, therefore, to profit.\"\nInstead of sports being an activity that builds important values, respects human dignity and helps shape the whole human person, \"it has reduced people to merchandise,\" he said.\nU.S. cyclist Lance Armstrong's admission to doping was just the tip of the iceberg, he said, since high-stakes commercial interests pressure almost every professional cyclist into the illegal practice. The world of cycling and soccer is \"a world that is rotten,\" he said.\n\"We want to work with the big sports bodies to give new value to sports\" and the upcoming conference -- titled \"We Believe in Sports\" -- will be one way to get that initiative started, the monsignor said.\nThe council will also have Catholic and Christian athletes in attendance, to give witness to how the worlds of faith and sports can easily come together.\nHe said the council hoped its participant line-up would include two high-profile Christian U.S. sports stars: NFL quarterback Tim Tebow of the New York Jets, and NBA basketball player Jeremy Lin of the Houston Rockets.\nThe goal of the conference is two-fold, Msgr. Sanchez de Toca said.\nFirst: \"to help put healthy values back into sport and counteract the current market logic, because if the current state of affairs continues, all is lost.\"\nSecond: to help the church see sport as an important resource for future priests, Catholic schools, parishes and catechists.\nThe former-modern pentathlete-turned-priest said the council also wants to hold a \"Race of Faith\" -- a 100-meter jog, shuffle or sprint up the Via della Conciliazione toward St. Peter's Square during the gathering.\n\"We want to see lots of cardinals in tracksuits, too,\" he said.\nLabels: Pontifical Council for Culture, sports, Tim Tebow, Vatican",

        "raw_content": "Ganley Auto Group\u2019s Ken Ganley\nDealmaking provides an opportunity for leadership growth\nKen Ganley is always looking for an opportunity to bring more dealerships into the fold at Ganley Auto Group. He\u2019s a relentless dealmaker who believes that acquisitions not only expand his company\u2019s physical presence, but also provide new leadership opportunities for his employees.\n\u201cSome of my best transactions are actually great because the people we were able to promote and put into positions that maybe they never dreamed possible,\u201d says Ganley, president and CEO at the dealership that has its eye on $2 billion in sales for 2018. \u201cThen it shows the rest of our staff that those opportunities are all over the company.\u201d\nAfter snagging Central Cadillac last fall, Ganley Auto Group expanded into Pennsylvania for the first time in February with the purchase of a Toyota dealership and now owns 37 dealerships in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida.\nThis week, we sat down with Ganley to talk about the value that experience can bring to dealmaking and his fondness for taking on challenges when making an acquisition. What follow is a transcript of the above video, edited for readability.\nEach deal is a learning experience\nSome of the most memorable deals I\u2019ve been involved in, obviously you\u2019re going to always remember the first one. I even remember the date, Dec. 5, 1995. My dad and I became partners in Akron in a Toyota and a Mercedes-Benz dealership. As time goes on, you keep memories from every transaction you\u2019ve ever made. It\u2019s really the people I\u2019ve dealt with. Dealing with great men and women who are selling me their business, I learned a lot from them. I was able to get a lot of knowledge and information from those sellers. But every deal, every deal has got its memories.\nI think you need a dealmaking mindset any time you\u2019re in business. I\u2019m in the car business, so a dealmaking mindset is pretty much what I have to wake up with every single morning. When opportunities present themselves to me, I may not initially think that it\u2019s a great fit. But the more I think about it and go through the due diligence, deals will work out for us. We\u2019re in states right now that I wouldn\u2019t have expected to be in if you had asked me three, four, five, 10 years ago. So you need to have a dealmaking mindset whether you\u2019re a buyer or a seller pretty much every day.\nI prefer situations in any kind of transaction, I like fixer-uppers where things are broken and need to be fixed. If that company needs our staff to come in and help get it right, it\u2019s worked out very well for me. There are some situations where I\u2019ve purchased a company that is operating very efficiently and has a great group of people. For instance, Central Cadillac had a great group of people when we purchased it. We didn\u2019t really need to do a whole lot there except bring some of our culture to the table. In general, I\u2019d prefer something that\u2019s broken and needs to be fixed.\nAlways be closing. Unless\u2026\nIt\u2019s hard because you put so much time into deals and you get emotionally attached to it. Sometimes you\u2019ll put months, if not years into a potential deal. If something doesn\u2019t work out, it\u2019s a little bit hard to swallow. I always make it a priority that we\u2019re going to get to the closing table and we\u2019re going to make the seller happy. But once in a while, that doesn\u2019t work out. There has to be a significant reason for me. Normally, I\u2019ll try to overcome just about anything we have to to close the deal and finish it. But every now and again, if something significant comes up, you might have to walk away.\nDeals facilitate leadership development\nI think one of my obligations is to see our team members grow in the company. I love fostering a team member who is brand new to the company, maybe even a teenager, and watching them grow through the company. Some of my best transactions are actually great because the people we were able to promote and put into positions that maybe they never dreamed possible. Then it shows the rest of our staff that those opportunities are all over the company. Doing that and giving people opportunities is a great way of giving back. You see them have an opportunity that maybe they never dreamed they would have. When they excel at it, that\u2019s the most satisfying part.\nRelated post: Kenneth Ganley loves selling cars and shares his passion with the team at Ganley Auto Group",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 The Radar: A Happy Caffeinated Camper\nThe Radar: Farm-To-Table Dining Experiences From Savor Seattle \u2192\nSeattleite Spotlight: Novelist Sarah Martinez\nArts+Entertainment Seattleites\tBy Brad Nehring on February 28, 2013\nA candid look at the world of erotic fiction with one of Seattle\u2019s hottest new writers.\nPublished in August 2012, Sex and Death in the American Novel turned a lot of heads due to its frank depiction of adult relationships. But author Sarah Martinez, a Montana transplant who earned an International Business degree from Seattle University in 1999 and has remained in the Northwest ever since, argues that erotic fiction is about so much more than steamy romance and trashy dialogue. The wife and mother of two believes her milieu \u2013 like all other genres of fiction \u2013 has the power to move and inspire readers. We recently sat down to discuss American perceptions of sex (literary and otherwise), influential authors and her ambitious second novel that is currently in the works.\nSarah Martinez visits her alma mater, Seattle University. Photo by Suzi Pratt.\nWhen did you decide to pursue a writing career?\nI always wanted to write since the time I started to read, and I did write. But I got serious in 2009 and started spending actual money on it \u2013 hiring sitters, going to conferences, keeping track of my hours with a spreadsheet, and all that. Before 2009 I was in writing groups, and there were times when I was serious about it, but even then I didn\u2019t think I would actually publish anything.\nWhat\u2019s your writing philosophy?\nWe\u2019re all trying to do what everybody is going to like, but really readers want something new and different. I always tell writers, do your thing. Do what really turns your crank, and it will turn somebody else\u2019s crank. It might be five or 10 years down the road, but then you will have done something. But it won\u2019t work if you try to do what everybody else wants.\nWho are some of the writers that influence your literary style?\nPriscilla Long is the one that always comes to mind. If you\u2019re a writer and have serious aspirations, pick up The Writer\u2019s Portable Mentor. She\u2019s the one who tells you to read other writers and collect sentences if you want to be successful. But my need to be readable and have other people connect with me would come from somebody like Stephen King, who I grew up reading. This guy made me feel like I was at home when I picked up one of his books, and I wanted to be that kind of accessible writer. Other writers like Junot Diaz or Marco Vassi were the ones who inspired my need to shock and awe.\nHow did your role as senior editor of Pink Fish Press prepare you for writing a full-length novel?\nAll the companies I ever worked for were small, so I learned to be flexible, work weekends, that sort of thing. Before I even started at Pink Fish Press, I had written first drafts of three or four novels \u2013 and Sex and Death was close to done. Plus I worked with Andrea Hurst, the literary agent, so I had seen what happens to books in the editing phase and when they go to press. There\u2019s also a feeling of accomplishment when you help good people get published.\nSex and Death in the American Novel was published last August. How have people responded to this work in the last six months?\nI had one mommy come up, put her arm around me and say, \u201cYou\u2019re a badass!\u201d That\u2019s probably been the neatest thing, talking with mommy groups and hearing the conversations and discussions that came out of that. Also, being able to talk to actual readers. Writers spend so much time talking to each other, or editors. I also did a radio blog interview with Marsha Casper Cook, and had the most outrageous conversation with her about erotica. It was a really good example of the larger discussion of erotic fiction, and why my book didn\u2019t exactly fit in with the rest.\nWriters often feel a connection to their main characters. What sort of kinship do you share with Vivianna, the main protagonist of Sex and Death?\nMostly the anger with the father. She gets to be the voice of rage. I had all these thoughts to myself, about whether or not I was writing erotica or literary fiction. And she became the voice asking me, does it matter? That\u2019s kind of neat, when you can say this person gets me \u2013 even if he or she isn\u2019t actually a real person.\nIn your opinion, what are some of the biggest misconceptions that readers have about erotic fiction?\nA lot of people feel that erotica is just \u2018dressed-up\u2019 porn. I\u2019ve had a lot of discussions lately with people who feel it\u2019s irrelevant whether a book features sex or not. Really, the question is: should I like it, or should I not? Is it good, or is it bad? My porn might be your erotica, and my erotica might be your porn. It depends on a person\u2019s perceptions.\nFifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James was one of last year\u2019s best-selling novels. In your opinion, is this novel\u2019s success beneficial or detrimental to the erotic fiction genre?\nFifty Shades of Grey has gotten people talking, which is a good thing, and some people are discovering Marco Vassi, Anne Rice, and other writers that I discovered 20 years ago. I don\u2019t like that it reinforces the notion that all erotic writing involves BDSM. One good thing that people don\u2019t give the book credit for is that women are now talking about what they want. I\u2019m not arguing for people to go out and read Fifty Shades of Grey at all, but I think all the hype says much more about the people talking about the book than the book itself. If we\u2019re worried about role models for young girls (which I\u2019m not), then I don\u2019t think the book is anything worse than the made up dolls and teenage soap operas our kids are fed on television, with shows like Pretty Little Liars and so on. Both, it could be argued, encourage girls to favor appearance and pleasing a man over more important concerns.\nDo you have any more novels in the works?\nYes! I\u2019ve got seven total that I\u2019ve written \u2013 most are first drafts, though. For my next novel, the working title is Lost Dolls. I was working on that when I started Sex and Death, and I\u2019m about halfway done now. Lost Dolls is about an adult film star who runs for Congress. I got the idea from a female adult film star who talked about running for the Louisiana Senate. When you look at the interviews she did about this, she\u2019s actually very well spoken. Also, this woman had sex, on camera, and did it legally. Meanwhile, politicians are getting caught cheating on their wives left and right, and then they deny it. So my goal is to say something outrageous and also make a statement about how hypocritical our society can be.\nSarah Martinez and Booktrope Founder Ken Shear. Photo by Suzi Pratt.\nWho are some other Seattle writers that we should be reading?\nThere are so many people who are friends of mine that I admire for different reasons. I can\u2019t say enough about Priscilla Long. She has a blog on The American Scholar she posts in every Wednesday. And Jack Remick has a bunch of stuff out there. We bonded over his novel, Blood. Jennifer D. Munro wrote The Erotica Writer\u2019s Husband & Other Stories, a book that gives a really good example of erotic writing that says something.\nYou recently taught a Pacific Northwest Writer\u2019s Association (PNWA) course titled, \u2018Writing Sex: Breaking the Self-Censoring Barrier\u2019, with another Seattle author, Jack Remick. Do you have plans to teach any upcoming classes?\nI would love to \u2013 that particular class, anyway. I only have one book under my belt, so I don\u2019t really consider myself a teacher. But that class gave me a chance to share a lot of stuff that most people don\u2019t think about as writers. Whether or not somebody ends up publishing any \u2018sex stuff\u2019, it\u2019s all about getting past what you\u2019re afraid of to get where you need to go. I will be presenting an hour long session on small press at the Taos Writer\u2019s Conference this summer and in November I will be presenting a three hour class for the Skagit Valley Writer\u2019s League. When any more upcoming classes become official, I\u2019ll post all the information on my website.\nWhat are some tips you have for aspiring writers?\nTwo things. First, there\u2019s writing well. Read, and read, and read \u2014 but also discover who you are as a writer, and then find your community of writers that you want to be like and surround yourself with them. As far as getting it out there, finding a compatible agent is really important if you decide to go the traditional route. Publishers Marketplace is great. Jeff Herman has a guide, and so does Writer\u2019s Market. Both also list small presses. But Publisher\u2019s Marketplace is $20 a month, and you can plug titles that are comparable to yours in and do searches. Also, send out at least ten queries at a time \u2013 and don\u2019t wait too long. Otherwise you can lose six months, just like that.\nPlease visit Sarah\u2019s official website, for information about her upcoming classes and speaking engagements, and check out her blog for more information about the Seattle literary scene (erotic fiction or otherwise). The author also urges Seattleites to check out the Erotic Art Festival, which kicks off in June and is followed by Seduction, a sexy Halloween soiree that is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 26. Sex and Death in the American Novel can be found in bookstores, or purchased online.\nThis entry was posted in Arts+Entertainment, Seattleites and tagged Lost Dolls, Marco Vossi, Pink Fish Press, Priscilla Long, Sarah Martinez, Sex and Death in the American Novel, Wandering Skies.

        "raw_content": "I am happy to say that John is home! We are keeping busy, catching up on all the details of what has been happening in our lives, what the Lord has been doing in the work in India and through the AllNations House. And, we are so thankful that we were able to spend some wonderful time with all of our sons and their families for Easter! (We have the most perfect 3 grandchildren!) Thank you for continuing to pray for our family, that the Lord would be honored by all of our lives.\nThe first news we want to share with you is the amazing and wonderful praise that one of the students that has been coming to the AllNations House for this past year has decided to follow the Lord! He was even able to be baptized last month and we are rejoicing!!! /Thank You, Lord!!/ We just love this student! He said that he had been earnestly \u2018looking for the Truth\u2019 the last 6 months and knows now that he has found it. Please pray for him as he continues to grow in his faith, especially in this time before he leaves campus at the end of the summer. Thank you for your continued prayer for all of the students coming and going from the ANH each week and for our Friday Night Gatherings that have averaged around 50 students each time! We continue to be amazed at our Lord\u2019s work in hearts from all around the world! Thank you so much for your prayer!\nNow, on to news from India\u2026\nOne of the most important ways that we have tried to serve our Workers in India, since the beginning, has been providing valuable teaching and training for them. Most of them have not had the opportunity for any formal training so they are eager for any chance to learn more. Please pray for the Lord\u2019s guidance as we are working on some new training opportunities for the Workers. Also, we are making plans for our Women\u2019s Conference that we will hold next January. This will be a powerful opportunity to encourage and train women. Please pray for the Lord\u2019s guidance as we are preparing for the Women\u2019s Conference. We will share more about these opportunities as more of the plans are set in place, but we really need your prayer during this planning and preparation time!\nThank you so much for your prayer! We are dependent on our partnership with you and we are thankful that is how the Lord made it to work, so we can all share in the joy together. We need you and really cannot go forward or be effective without your partnership with us! We are so thankful for you!\nWe have a few more team members to share thoughts from our recent time in India. Please continue to pray for all of those who we were able to love and serve. Thank you!\nThoughts from Emily\u2026\nI was overwhelmed by hospitality and love in India when we visited different places and friends. They greet visitors and guests so well.\nA time that stood out to me was when we went to a group meeting in a village and they had just found out that morning that we would be coming. They bought flower necklaces to welcome and greet us with and made us feel so much at home. Afterwards we were able to pray for and spend time with the group and it truly felt like home. They talked about us being a part of their family. The next day we were able to share a meal with the Worker and his family and experience even more of this wonderful hospitality and love. They opened up to us about their grief because of their daughter-in-law who had passed away months after childbirth. We were all able to gather together and pray for them.\nGod continues to open my eyes to ways I can show hospitality and love to others better. It was so powerful to have this family be vulnerable and really open up about their grief and loss and ask for prayer, and share that we were a blessing to be with them in this time of grief.\nWe have brothers and sisters across the world who are our family. The blood of the Lord is what brings us together and makes us family. I was so powerfully reminded of this in India.\nThoughts from Katie\u2026 (a fellow classmate & dear friend in the TESOL program at campus who joined the team for a few days to conduct research at a school we visited)\nIt was so sweet to connect with Terri and the team. Besides a Canadian couple I connected with my first time in India, this team was the only non-Indians I had ever encountered and I felt like it wasn\u2019t quite real. Americans-eating American food, some processing this foreign world for the first time, all looking to God to use and grow them on this trip. It provided a very different set of lessons and experiences.\nBut seeing Terri and doing the research with her was truly a breath of fresh air. I could have held her tight and never let her go if God let me\u2026especially when the team headed on their way to their next station.\nLesson: Psalm 73:25\nI left the Nanda\u2019s house processing this prayer \u201cLord, I praise you for the Nanda\u2019s and their work in India. I know it brings You glory. I ask for wisdom and humility to know what kind of work, I, as a westerner, can really do in India. How do I compare to this short-term team? What is your will for my connection to India?\u201d",

        "raw_content": "\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b< back to Policies & Guidelines\nThis is an administrative document that provides definitions and operational descriptions for graduate academic programs and activities at the University of Toronto. The document was developed in line with the Province of Ontario's Quality Assurance Framework (QAF), 2010. The QAF definition is provided at the end of each section for reference. The process for new program proposals and proposals for new program components are outlined in part here following procedures outlined in the University of Toronto Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP)\u200b.\nThe University of Toronto offers the following categories of graduate academic programs and activities:\n1. Graduate Degree\nThe University of Toronto offers graduate degrees at the master's and doctoral levels upon the successful completion of the requirements of a specific approved graduate program.\nQAF definition: \"An academic credential awarded on successful completion of a prescribed set and sequence of requirements at a specified standard of performance consistent with the OCAV's Degree Level Expectations and the institution's own expression of those Expectations (see Appendix 1).\"\n1.1 Master's Degree\nA master's degree is awarded upon successful completion of the requirements of an approved master's degree program. The requirements of the program must be consistent with the master's degree level expectations of the Ontario Council of Academic Vice-Presidents (OCAV).\nThe QAF does not provide a definition of master's degree.\n1.2 Doctoral Degree\nA doctoral degree is awarded upon successful completion of an approved doctoral degree program. The requirements of the program must be consistent with the doctoral degree level expectations of OCAV.\nThe QAF does not provide a definition of doctoral degree.\nA degree program is composed of courses and/or other academic activities and must include research activities appropriate to the degree level expectations. Other academic activities may include a practical component such as an internship or other placement, and/or a major research paper or thesis. Together, these are known as the program requirements. The School of Graduate Studies academic Calendar outlines the specific requirements for each degree program offered by the University and is considered the contract between the University and the registered student. The SGS Calendar also provides general admission and degree program regulations relevant to all graduate students, including regulations on Good Academic Standing, Candidacy, Time Limits, etc., and, additionally those requirements appropriate to the student's program of registration. The points below highlight the defining characteristics of master's and doctoral degree programs, but are not intended to be comprehensive.\nQAF definition: \"The complete set and sequence of courses, combinations of courses and/or other units of study, research and practice prescribed by an institution for the fulfillment of the requirements of a particular degree.\"\n2.1 Master's Degree Program\nMaster's degree programs provide education beyond the undergraduate level and appropriate to master's degree level expectations. They also have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: The approved program name (with or without the approved fields/concentrations and/or emphases) is used for advertising purposes. In cases where a particular audience (specific cohort) is targeted for delivery of the program as a discrete offering, advertising may indicate the offering as part of the program, that is, \"The Graduate Program in [approved degree program name] for [name the audience/cohort]\".\nAdmission: An appropriate bachelor's degree that has appropriate breadth, depth and, where appropriate, an affinity to the graduate program to which the applicant is seeking admission as determined by the School of Graduate Studies; an average grade equivalent to at least mid-B or better, normally demonstrated by an average grade in the final year or over senior courses; at least two letters of reference; other qualifications as specified by a graduate unit.\nRequirements: Master's programs have specific program requirements. Programs vary in length from a minimum of two sessions (terms) to two full academic years; a few master's programs are longer. A master's degree program is completed on a full\u2010time basis unless the specific program offers other approved options.\nProgram Completion: Students who successfully complete the requirements of the program receive the degree and may participate in a convocation ceremony.\nTranscript: The transcript shows the complete academic record including course and other academic activity enrolments, and grades for each session of registration; the transcript also records the completion of any field/concentration associated with the degree program, program completion, and degree conferral.\nApprovals: A master's degree program proposal follows the New Program Process under the University of Toronto's Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP), including an external appraisal. University governance approval is required at the level of the Division, as is approval of appropriate bodies of Governing Council. Quality Council approval is required, following University approvals. Finally, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) approval is also required.\n2.2 Doctoral Degree Program\nDoctoral degree programs provide education beyond the undergraduate and master's levels and provide education appropriate to doctoral degree level expectations. They also have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: The approved program name (with or without the approved fields/concentrations and/or emphases) is used for advertising purposes.\nAdmission: An appropriate master's degree or, in some programs, an appropriate bachelor's degree with high academic standing from a recognized university; an average grade equivalent to a B+ or better in a previous master's degree program (where relevant, demonstrated research competence equivalent to at least a B+ grade will be considered); Direct entry from a bachelor's degree to a PhD program may be available when permitted by the graduate unit (for direct\u2010entry applicants, an average grade equivalent to A\u2010 or better in courses in the relevant discipline is required); at least two letters of reference; other qualifications as specified by a graduate unit. In some programs, exceptional master's students may be approved for transfer into the second year of a five\u2010year PhD program before completing the master's degree program.\nRequirements: Doctoral programs have specific program requirements. PhD programs are four years in length, except in the case of direct-entry programs which are five years in length, or flexible\u2010time PhD program options which may have a longer program length. Students who accepted into direct\u2010entry PhD programs are admitted into programs that are five years in length and, for those students, the PhD program includes about a year's worth of master's degree level program requirements in addition to the doctoral program requirements. The PhD program is completed on a full\u2010time basis unless the specific program offers an approved flexible-time option (for practising professionals). Other doctoral programs (e.g., SJD, EdD, DMA) have specific program lengths, also usually four years; some of these offer a part\u2010time option. All doctoral program requirements include a written thesis embodying original research that is successfully defended at a School of Graduate Studies Final Oral Examination (FOE).\nProgram Completion: Students who successfully complete the program receive the degree and may participate in a convocation ceremony.\nTranscript: The transcript shows the complete academic record including course and other academic activity enrolments and grades for each session of registration; the transcript also records the completion of any field/concentration associated with the degree program, program completion, and degree conferral.\nApprovals: A doctoral degree program proposal follows the New Program Process under the University of Toronto's Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP), including an external appraisal. University governance approval is required at the level of the Division, as is approval of appropriate bodies of Governing Council. Quality Council approval is required, following University approvals. Finally, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU) approval is also required.\n3. Collaborative Specialization\nA collaborative specialization is an intra\u2010university graduate program that provides an additional multidisciplinary experience for students enrolled in and completing the degree requirements for one of a number of approved degree programs. Collaborative specializations are governed by a memorandum of agreement signed by the chair/director of the participating graduate units. Collaborative specializations facilitate collaboration among the participating units through the membership of the Program Committee. In most collaborative specializations, there is a supporting unit that may or may not enrol graduate students but contributes support or resources of some kind to the program. Commitments by a supporting unit are documented in the memorandum of agreement. Collaborative specializations also have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: The approved collaborative specialization name is used for advertising. Advertising must indicate that applicants must be admitted first to a participating graduate program and then to the collaborative specialization.\nAdmission: Admission to a collaborative specialization is predicated upon admission to a home degree program and requires the approval of the Collaborative Specialization Director and/or Program Committee. Registration in more than two collaborative specializations at one time requires permission from the School of Graduate Studies.\nRequirements: Collaborative specializations include a common learning experience for students, usually met through the core course and/or a seminar series. The requirements of a collaborative specialization include some work that may be additional to that of the degree program; in many cases requirements are met through elective room in the home degree program. Each collaborative specialization has minimum requirements that normally include a core course. It is expected that a thesis requirement, if any, will be in the topic area of the collaborative specialization. Thesis supervision normally is provided to collaborative specialization students by core faculty in the collaborative specialization who are graduate faculty members from the student's home unit. Collaborative specialization requirements do not extend the degree program length. Students must meet both the degree program requirements and the collaborative specialization requirements.\nProgram Completion: The director of the collaborative specialization directly provides successful students who complete the collaborative specialization requirements, in addition to completing the degree program requirements, with a completion parchment signed by the collaborative specialization director and the SGS Dean and Vice\u2010Provost, Graduate Education. Students who successfully complete the collaborative specialization and the degree program receive the degree and may participate in a convocation ceremony.\nTranscript: Students who complete the requirements of a collaborative specialization receive a notation on the graduate transcript, for example, \"Completed Summer 2012\u2014Collaborative Program in Neuroscience.\"\nApprovals: A collaborative specialization proposal follows the Expedited New Program Process under the University of Toronto Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP). As such it does not require an external appraisal. It requires university governance approval of the Division and the Academic Policy and Programs Committee. Quality Council approval is also required and constitutes final approval. MTCU approval is not required for collaborative specialization. Closure of a collaborative specialization follows a path similar to the approval path, except that the Quality Council is informed of the closure. Adding or deleting a participating program is a Minor Modification and requires University governance approval at the level of the division.\nAdding a degree level (master's or doctoral) to an existing collaborative specialization is a Major Modification and requires University governance approval at the level of the Division. Major Modifications are reported to Academic Policy and Programs Committee for information. They are also reported to the Quality Council for information.\nSee also: Collaborative Specialization \u200bGuidelines\u200b\nQAF Definition: \"A collaborative specialization\u200b is an intra\u2010university graduate program that provides an additional multidisciplinary experience for students enrolled in and completing the degree requirements for one of a number of approved programs. Students meet the admission requirements of and register in the participating (or 'home') program but complete, in addition to the degree requirements of that program, the additional requirements specified by the collaborative program. The degree conferred is that of the home program, and the completion of the collaborative program is indicated by a transcript notation indicating the additional specialization that has been attained (e.g., 'MA in Political Science with specialization in American Studies'). Proposals for new collaborative programs will follow the Protocol for Expedited Approvals and thereafter will require cyclical review.\"\n4. Combined Degree Program\u200b\n(The terms and conditions of accelerated undergraduate\u2010graduate programs within the category of combined program areunder discussion at the University.)\nAt the University of Toronto, a combined degree program allows a student to complete two degree programs at the same time within a reduced time period. This is facilitated by a limited number of identified program credits counting towards both programs. The combination involves two existing degree programs, at least one of which must be a graduate program. Where the combination includes an undergraduate program, that program is a second\u2010entry undergraduate program. In combinations that include an undergraduate degree only students who already have been awarded an appropriate undergraduate degree will be permitted to enrol in the combined degree program. There is an identified and limited overlap of program requirements in combined degree programs such that credits from one program may count towards the other and possibly vice versa; undergraduate credits may not count towards a graduate program. The overall time required to complete both programs is reduced in combination as a result of the overlap.\nCombined degree programs follow a prescribed path to completion involving a combination of full-time and part-time registrations in respective programs (students may not be enrolled full-time in two programs at the same time.) Students normally complete the programs at the same time and receive the degrees at the same time. Combined degree programs do not have directors but academic responsibility for the combined degree program is shared jointly by the unit chair/director responsible for each degree program; administrative and student matters are managed jointly by the program coordinators. Combined degree programs are governed by a memorandum of understanding that is signed by both the administrative unit chairs/directors and Faculties responsible for the degree programs. Combined degree programs have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: The approved combined degree program name may be used consistently in advertising by each of the units offering the combination of degree programs.\nAdmission: Students must meet the admission requirements of both of the programs involved in the combination, and must apply and be accepted into each, as well as be accepted into the combined degree program. Each combined degree program defines the possible entry points for applicants and students.\nRequirements: Students register and enrol separately in each program and must meet the requirements of both degree programs as specified for the combined degree program. Each combined degree program has a prescribed path to completion, structured so that both degrees are completed at the same time. Each combined program has an established time limit.\nProgramcompletion: Students who successfully complete the requirements of the combined degree program receive two degrees and may participate in a convocation ceremony.\nTranscript: The graduate transcript shows enrolment in the combined degree program. Upon successful completion of both degree programs, the transcript shows completion of the graduate program/s in the combination, and the awarding of the graduate degree/s in the combination.\nApprovals: A proposal for a combined degree program is a Major Modification and requires University governance approval at the level of the Division which is final approval. This is reported to the Academic Policy and Programs Committee for information. Major Modifications are also reported to the Quality Council for information. Program requirements for existing combined degree programs may not be altered unilaterally by either of the degree offering units and are subject to divisional governance approvals as appropriate for each program.\nCombined degree programs are not defined in the QAF.\n5. Diploma Program\nA graduate diploma is awarded by the University of Toronto for completion of an approved graduate diploma program. Graduate diplomas are offered at the master's, post-master's, or doctoral level, and are composed of approved graduate courses or other graduate academic activities appropriate to the diploma level. In addition to aligning with the Quality Assurance Framework definitions, graduate diplomas also follow the University of Toronto's Policy on Diplomas and Certificates. The University of Toronto offers two types of graduate diploma programs:\nQAF Type 2 Graduate Diploma Program\nAn approved Type 2 graduate diploma program is offered in conjunction with a master's or doctoral degree\nprogram, the admission to which requires that the student be already admitted to the master's or doctoral program. The diploma program represents an additional, usually interdisciplinary or specialized, qualification. Type 2 diploma programs having the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: The diploma program is advertised in conjunction with the associated master's or doctoral degree program.\nAdmission: Students may be admitted to a Type 2 graduate diploma program once they are admitted to the associated master's or doctoral degree program.\nRequirements: Students complete the requirements of the Type 2 graduate diploma program as well as the requirements of the master's or doctoral degree program. A Type 2 graduate diploma requires, as a minimum, the equivalent of one session of full\u2010time graduate studies, and, as a maximum, the equivalent of three sessions (one year) of full\u2010time graduate studies. The requirements for the diploma program normally will increase the overall program length of the two programs together.\nProgram Completion: Students receive the graduate diploma upon successful completion of both the diploma program and the degree program requirements. The diploma and the degree are presented to students at the same convocation ceremony.\nTranscript: Once the student is accepted into the master's or doctoral program followed by acceptance into the diploma program, the transcript shows that the student is enrolled in both the master's or doctoral program and the diploma program. The transcript shows completion of the diploma program and the awarding of the diploma in addition to the usual recording of registration, completion, etc. in the degree program.\nApprovals: A Type 2 graduate diploma program proposal follows the Expedited New Program Process under the University of Toronto's Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP). As such it does not require an external appraisal. University governance requires approval of the Division and Academic Policy and Programs Committee. Approval by the Quality Council is required. Finally, Type 2 diploma programs require MTCU approval.\nQAF Definition: \"Type 2: Offered in conjunction with a master's (or doctoral) degree, the admission to which requires that the candidate be already admitted to the master's (or doctoral) program. This represents an additional, usually interdisciplinary, qualification.\"\nAn approved Type 3 graduate diploma program is a stand\u2010alone, direct admission program, generally developed by a graduate unit already offering a master's or doctoral degree program, and designed to meet particular needs. Type 3 diploma programs have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: The approved diploma program name may be advertised independently of other graduate programs.\nAdmission: A Type 3 graduate diploma program has a minimum admission requirement of an appropriate bachelor's degree from a recognized university. A Type 3 post-master's or doctoral-level diploma program normally has a minimum admission requirement of an appropriate master's degree.\nRequirements: Students complete the requirements of the graduate diploma program. A Type 3 graduate diploma requires as a minimum the equivalent of one session of full-time graduate studies, and as a maximum the equivalent of three sessions (one year) of full-time graduate studies.\nProgram Completion: Students receive the graduate diploma upon successful completion of the diploma program. The diploma is presented to students at a convocation ceremony.\nTranscript: Once the student is accepted into a Type 3 diploma program, the transcript shows that the student is enrolled in the graduate diploma program; upon graduation, the transcript shows that the student has been awarded the graduate diploma.\nApproval: A Type 3 diploma program proposal follows the New Program Process under the University of Toronto's Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP), including an external appraisal. University governance requires approval at the level of the Division and appropriate bodies of Governing Council. Quality Council approval is required. Finally, MTCU approval is required.\nQAF Definition: \"Type 3: A stand-alone, direct-entry program, generally developed by a unit already offering a related master's (and sometimes doctoral) degree, and designed to meet the needs of a particular clientele or market.\"\n6. Joint Degree Program\nA graduate joint degree program is a program of study offered by two or more universities, or equivalent institution, in which successful completion of the requirements is confirmed by a single degree document. Joint programs are governed by a memorandum of agreement, signed by the appropriate individuals at each institution. Normally, a \"lead\" institution is identified in the memorandum of agreement for administrative purposes. Joint degree programs have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: A graduate joint degree program may be advertised by each participating institution involved in offering the program.\nAdmission: Students apply to the joint degree program at one of the participating institutions and are accepted into the program at that institution (the \"home\" institution).\nRequirements: Students admitted to the program through the University of Toronto complete the requirements of the joint degree program as articulated by the SGS Calendar. Students are governed by the policies and regulations of the University of Toronto as well as the regulations of the joint degree program. Some or all of the program offerings may be delivered at another participating institution or in an alternate educational setting and will often include graduate students who are enrolled in the joint degree program at other participating institutions.\nProgram Completion: Students enrolled at the University of Toronto who successfully complete the requirements for the program receive a U of T degree and may participate in a U of T convocation ceremony.\nTranscript: The transcript for University of Toronto students indicates that the student is enrolled in the degree program. Upon successful completion of the joint program, the transcript shows that a U of T degree is awarded.\nApproval: A joint graduate degree program proposal follows the New Program Process under the University of Toronto's Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP), including an external appraisal. A joint degree program proposal requires university governance approval at the level of the Division and appropriate bodies of Governing Council. It requires Quality Council approval. Finally, MTCU approval is required.\nQAF Definition: \"A program of study offered by two or more universities or by a university and a college or institute, including an Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning, in which successful completion of the requirements is confirmed by a single degree document.\"\n7. Joint Educational Placement Agreement for Doctoral Students\nThe University of Toronto offers the Joint Educational Placement Agreement for doctoral students. Although \"cotutelles\" share some similarities of the Joint Educational Placement Agreement, the University does not offer traditional cotutelles. The Joint Placement is intended to allow exceptional doctoral students to pursue research opportunities and acquire research experience in two institutions at an early stage in their careers. Joint Educational Placement Agreements have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: Joint Educational Placement Agreements are advertised in association with a doctoral program.\nAdmission: The Joint Educational Placement Agreement is a registration option for doctoral students who have applied and been accepted into an approved full time doctoral program at the University of Toronto. In addition, students must also be accepted into full time doctoral studies at a recognized collaborator institution. A Joint Placement student's application, enrolment and academic program must meet the doctoral requirements of both institutions.\nRequirements: Students are enrolled in a doctoral program at each institution. The student must designate one institution as the lead institution and the second as the collaborator institution. This designation must be made at the time of the signing of the agreement and is binding for its duration. The academic and research program of a student enrolled in a Joint Placement should be based on ongoing or developing research collaboration between supervisors and/or research groups in the two participating institutions.\nProgram Completion: Students enrolled at the University of Toronto as the lead institution who successfully complete the requirements of the program receive a U of T degree and may participate in a U of T convocation ceremony.\nTranscript: The University of Toronto transcript will show the student's registration in the U of T doctoral program, and a notation will be added upon successful completion of the program, for example, 'Awarded as a single degree under a Joint Placement arrangement with the (collaborator) institution'.\nParchment: If successful, the student will be awarded a single doctoral degree from the lead institution with a parchment noting that the degree is 'Awarded as a single degree under a Joint Placement arrangement with the (collaborator) institution'.\u200b\u200b\nApprovals: The University has endorsed the individual agreement model for establishing Joint Placements. Graduate units with applicants or students who are interested in a Joint Placement will develop an individual agreement in consultation with the School of Graduate Studies. Approval is secured with the appropriate signatures from the student and each institution in each case.\n8. Conjoint Degree Program\u200b\nThe University of Toronto and the Toronto School of Theology, according to a Memorandum of Agreement between the two institutions, have agreed to offer specific and approved conjoint programs, some of which may be graduate degree programs. The list of conjointly awarded degree programs is provided in the Memorandum of Agreement in a schedule; the list includes second\u2010entry undergraduate, and graduate degree programs.\nUnder the terms of the agreement, faculty appointments, admissions, grading, program requirements and all academic components of programs must be consistent with the appropriate standards of U of T. The School of Graduate Studies is represented on TST governance bodies. Graduate conjoint degree programs have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: A conjoint graduate degree program is advertised by the University of Toronto or the Toronto School of Theology and its Member Institution as a graduate degree program that is conjointly offered by the University of Toronto and the Toronto School of Theology and its Member Institution.\nAdmission: Applicants must meet standards for admission that are consistent with the graduate admission standards of the School of Graduate Studies at the University of Toronto according to master's or doctoral degree level.\nRequirements: Students must meet requirements for conjoint graduate programs that are consistent with the rules, regulations and standards of the School of Graduate Studies at the University of Toronto according to master's or doctoral degree level requirements.\nDegree Completion: Upon successful completion of a conjoint program, the student receives a conjoint degree which is conferred by both the University of Toronto and the appropriate Toronto School of Theology Member Institution. Students participate in a convocation ceremony offered by the Member Institution. The degree parchment includes signatures from U of T, the Member Institution, and the Toronto School of Theology.\nTranscript: The Toronto School of Theology is responsible for maintaining and producing the transcripts of students in conjoint degree programs, including conjoint graduate programs.\nApprovals: A graduate conjoint degree program proposal follows the New Program Process under the University of Toronto's Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP), including an external appraisal. It requires university governance approval at the level of the Division (TST and may include U of T division/s as appropriate) and appropriate bodies of Governing Council. It requires both Quality Council approval. Finally, MTCU approval is required.\nQAF Definition: \"A program of study, offered by a postsecondary institution that is affiliated, federated or collaborating with a university, which is approved by the university's Senate or equivalent body, and for which a single degree document signed by both institutions is awarded.\"\n9. Field/Concentration, or Emphasis, Within a Program\nA program may offer fields or concentrations, but not both. Emphases are offered independently of fields/concentrations.\n9.1 Field/Concentration\nThe terms \u201cfield\u201d and \u201cconcentration\u201d are synonymous. A graduate unit may elect to identify either fields or concentrations but not both. Faculties may elect to identify fields or concentrations as the term of choice throughout the graduate units within the Faculty.\nA field/concentration is an identified area of specialization or area of study in a graduate degree program that is related to distinct, demonstrable and collective strengths of the program\u2019s faculty members. Fields/concentrations reflect the capacity of the research faculty to support graduate level research in specific areas.\nIn some fields/concentrations, a curricular pathway may be defined, requiring completion of a specific set of courses in a graduate degree program. There is no requirement to identify field/concentrations in either master\u2019s or doctoral programs. Different degrees within a program may identify different field/concentrations.\nAs with all academic initiatives, proposals for fields/concentrations require demonstration of adequate resources. Field/concentrations are generally identified as areas of strength and are broadly associated with a discipline. The declaration of approved fields/concentrations in a program indicates that the program has the collective strength to offer these specializations. Approved fields/concentrations have the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: An approved field/concentration is advertised in conjunction with the degree program. A graduate program may advertise with or without reference to approved fields/concentrations.\nAdmission: Students are admitted into programs; in some programs students also may apply to and be admitted directly into an approved field/concentration. Students may be formally associated with a field/concentration in a program upon admission, if desirable.\nRequirements: The total number of courses and other program requirements in an individual field/concentration normally are the same as the overall degree program requirements, and the same as in any other field/concentration in the program.\nTranscript: An approved field/concentration may appear as a notation on the student transcript upon completion of the degree program.\nApprovals: A proposal for a field/concentration is a Major Modification and requires University governance approval at the level of the Division which is final approval. University approval of a new field/concentration is reported to the Academic Policy and Programs Committee for information. It is also reported to the Quality Council for information. Fields/concentrations may be closed following a similar approval path. Renaming of an existing field/concentration is a Minor Modification and the change is reported to the Quality Council for information.\nAn emphasis is associated with an identified set and sequence of graduate courses or other academic activity completed on an optional basis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a graduate degree program. As with all academic initiatives, a proposal for an emphasis requires demonstration of adequate resources. An approved emphasis has the following characteristics:\nAdvertising: An approved emphasis is advertised in conjunction with the degree program.\nAdmission: Students are not admitted to an emphasis. Students are admitted to a graduate degree program and may complete the requirements for an emphasis as part of the requirements for the graduate degree program.\nRequirements: The requirements for an emphasis do not affect the overall requirements for the graduate degree program and are not additional to the usual program requirements.\nLetter of Completion: Successful completion of an emphasis is recognized by a notation on the transcript. The graduate unit may issue a Letter of Completion to students who complete the requirements of an approved emphasis. This is provided upon completion of both the emphasis requirements and the degree program requirements.\nApprovals: Proposal for an emphasis is a Minor Modification and requires University governance approval at the level of the Division. It is not reported to any higher level of governance or to the Quality Council. Closure or renaming of an emphasis is also a Minor Modification.\nQAF Definition: A graduate emphasis is \"An identified set and sequence of courses, and/or other units of study, research and practice within an area of disciplinary or interdisciplinary study, which is completed on an optional basis in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the awarding of a degree, and may be recorded on the graduate's academic record. While requiring recognition in the IQAP, proposals for their introduction or modification do not require reference to the Quality Council unless they are part of a New Program.\"\n10. Graduate Professional Skills Program (Not for Academic Credit)\nThe Graduate Professional Skills Program (GPS) at the University of Toronto is a not\u2010for\u2010academic credit program presented by the School of Graduate Studies consisting of a variety of offerings that provide graduate students a range of opportunities for professional skills development. GPS recognises a need to help graduate students acquire skills in addition to those conventionally learned within their disciplinary program. Such skills include: communication and interpersonal skills, personal effectiveness, teaching competence and research related skills. GPS provides a framework for coordinating and publicizing existing and new offerings in the area of professional skills development for graduate students, for establishing and implementing appropriate criteria to ensure academic standards, and for creating an institutional \"seal of approval\" to enhance the value of these offerings to students.\nAdvertising: The GPS is an SGS\u2010sponsored program; information is available via the SGS website and graduate units.\nAdmission: There is no formal admissions process. Graduate students may self\u2010enrol via the U of T portal.\nRequirements: GPS offerings consist of co\u2010curricular courses, workshops, seminars, and placements offered by various units throughout the University of Toronto. Students select from four skill areas and complete a total of 20 GPS credits.\nTranscript: Students successfully completing the GPS will receive a notation on their transcript.\nApprovals: The GPS program has overall approval from the SGS Graduate Education Council. GPS offerings are approved by the School of Graduate Studies.\nQuality Assurance Framework 2010, Ontario Universities Council on Quality Assurance (QAF)\nGraduate Degree Level Expectations (DLEs)\nSee also: U of T\u2014\u200bDegree Level Expectations (DLEs)\u200b\nSGS Calendar\u200b\nCollaborative Program Guidelines\u200b\nUniversity of Toronto and Toronto School of Theology (TST) Memorandum of Agreement\u200b\nSee also: Governing Council policy.\nUniversity of Toronto Policy on Diploma and Certificate Programs\u200b",

        "title": "Keeping Signage at the Top of Business Marketing...And Its Revenue.",
        "raw_content": "Keeping Signage at the Top of Business Marketing...And Its Revenue.\nThe hard truth is that signage is not considered by most business development experts as marketing and the reason is clear - they are simply unaware of its value.\nBy Thomas James \u00ad CMO, The LED Sign Company\nOne of the top small-business-marketing websites, ranked #1 by Forbes Inc., doesn\u2019t even mention signage. At this website alone, tens of thousands of business owners and decision makers learn about marketing\u2026 without signage. If that does not upset you, you are not in the sign business. The hard truth is that signage is not considered by most business development experts as marketing and the reason is clear - they are simply unaware of its value.\nThe owner and editor of the website above received a one-page letter from me about the value of signage. I got a reply two days later with the following words: \u201cGreat information Thomas. You can submit an article at anytime.\u201d I am currently writing that article because just like with the editor (a very respected business marketing expert), education works. And if it causes 1000 people to spend more on signage, great! I want to make the pie larger. Selling bigger and better signs to new businesses is one way; having millions of existing businesses rethink signage is even better.\nIf the real value of signage were known by a much larger percentage of the business community based on education, research, measurable ROI data and case studies, four things would happen:\nBillions of dollars would shift from several media types that are, on average, ineffective for the typical organization, chiefly the SMB market;\nSignage would be elevated to its rightful place with regards to marketing, especially for small businesses that unmistakably depend on their 5-mile target market where up to 85% of their sales come from (SBA);\nThe typical signage transaction would increase because of its higher level of knowledge and known worth;\nBusiness consultants, marketing sites, magazines, books, blogs, newspapers, TV and other mediums would finally embrace it as an integral part of overall marketing and include it in their core strategy with regards to business development.\nThe entire industry needs to work towards a common goal of increasing the proven value that signage plays in the marketing of all organizations.\nAfter reviewing the sign industry, I would recommend three items be moved up the ladder of strategic focus. They are:\nPublic and corporate education on the proven effectiveness of signage. This includes the responsibility of creating significant awareness of the position signage has in the overall marketing of a business, especially compared to other high-priced, broad-based media.\nCentralized learning support for sign companies, specifically involving measurable ROI and how it was achieved throughout the industry, including private, public and association studies and research.\nBest sales practices and strategies that focus on real value and a clients\u2019 return on investment, rather than the current approach which normally forces the customer to base value on price, causing eroding margins and exhausting quotes.\nCurrently, this lack of focus is causing enormous economic loss to the trade. Many organizations don\u2019t invest as much on signage as they should and could; the reasons to do are not usually apparent. Are sign companies responsible for educating clients? Sure we are, and we do to some extent. Do we all have the knowledge we need to be the best? No. Do we understand best practices regarding sales? No. Should we incorporate more value and education in our marketing? Yes, because value and education increase sales and margins. The customer\u2019s results create referrals driven by value. Price drops to the 2nd position where it belongs.\nRight now, there is a tremendous amount of information out there. I feel the best place to harness it and make it available to the industry, as well as use it to educate and influence the business world, can best be accomplished by the sign associations, followed by the sign companies. It must be centralized to be effective. For sign companies, the main problem is that most customers have to be educated on an individual basis and that learning becomes a part of the sales presentation. A respected 3rd party is far more effective and believable. It\u2019s the difference between an expert telling them to do it with the facts or the media telling them it\u2019s true, and me trying to \u201ctell and sell\u201d. I\u2019d rather consult and recommend along with being highly knowledgeable in the process. I want to join the client\u2019s marketing team.\nFor business marketing experts to include signage as a main marketing strategy takes time and effort beyond sign companies themselves. But their advice can and will cause thousands of businesses to position signage as one of the best ways to develop their business, if not put it front and center.\nThe SBA states that the average business gets up to 50% of sales from signage, 85% from within 5 miles. Highway businesses can acquire up to 95% of sales from signage. This is true despite the fact that more than 75% of all U.S businesses don\u2019t take signage seriously. That would appeal to most business marketing experts, don\u2019t you think? Or maybe a 60-day, 6-inch ad in the local paper or 50 TV spots (which 90% of the viewers will dismiss because your target market isn\u2019t in their neighborhood) are considered to be worth more by marketing experts. How about a complete signage upgrade that will last up to ten years? Are they recommending that?\nThe U.S. Chamber of Commerce says that those who take signage seriously and make it an integral part of their overall marketing see significantly more revenue than those who don\u2019t. I believe the Chamber uses the words \u201cprofound revenue.\u201d Incredible, yet I have never seen that information in any business magazine.\nThe SBA states that outdoor LED signs increase sales 15%-150% at 10% the cost of other advertising and you pay just once, while focusing on your target market. The sales increase variance is based on choosing the right sign, creating a good messaging strategy, and traffic. Our outdoor LED sign clients average 30-40% in sales increases. Do marketing experts know about this? Many don\u2019t. Maybe they are busy trying to improve subject lines of email campaigns or recommending some $1000 a month web statistics program with 175 reports. Important? Sure it is, but it\u2019s secondary at best.\nMcDonalds spends around $100K on signage (per location) to sell a $.99 cent hamburger. For those who are not aware, their whole buildings are signs. Yet, the manufactured home dealer with great highway visibility puts up a $300 sign (selling a $75,000 hamburger) and then complains about low customer traffic. The new mortgage lender in town decides that a 2\u2019 x 6\u2019 painted plywood sign will suffice until business gets going; then to help things out they paint interest rates on the windows. Result \u00ad image ruined. Then there\u2019s the beauty salon that puts a sign up that is flush with the building (90 degrees from traffic) and selects colors that blend right into the surroundings. Or how about the HVAC company on Interstate 5, with 140,000 cars a day, who decides that his name is so important (but no one knows it) that he makes that font 24\u201d and the part about what is does just 4\u201d. Not a single car can notice his trade. I honestly would have turned down the job and told the customer why.\nOne thing is perfectly clear; signage costs about 10% that of broad-based media such as TV, newspapers, radio and yellow pages, and is usually a one-time investment. An important note is when you are comparing CPM (cost per thousand); you must also note the longevity of the medium. All other media stops as soon as you quit paying for it. The ROI factor of signage is much larger than just the CPM percentage differences and cost. Broad-based media also falls on deaf ears about 90% of the time.\nBusiness owners, marketing experts and the media must become acutely aware of the value signage has. We all must begin working intensely at positioning signage as one of the top five marketing options. Permits and codes are enormously important as well as conventions where serious partnerships develop, but let\u2019s face the facts; the average small business decision maker believes the price of signage, rather than the return on investment is king. This is based on the customer not knowing what signage can and will do for them.\nWould a client invest $5000 more if they knew that a bigger or additional sign would increase sales 4%-12% based on a study of 6000 businesses? If the gross sales were currently $100,000 a month, that would mean $48-$144k more a year. Maybe they would invest $20,000 more if they knew the facts. Would they buy an LED sign knowing that they increase sales 15%-150% with an average cost of .25 cents and hour, giving them the ability to advertise products and specials 24/7? Compare that to someone holding a sign on the street for $10 an hour. The focus should be to educate them and make them see signage as an important part of marketing. The decision then becomes\u2026how much I can afford to spend rather than how much I should pay.\nAbout the author: Thomas James is Chief Marketing Officer for The LED Sign Company, a wholesaler of OPTEC LED signs, and can be reached by email, Marketing@theledsigncompany.com",

        "title": "Retirement Living market to double in just 4 years",
        "raw_content": "Retirement Living market to double in just 4 years\nKnight Frank has released its latest retirement housing report, revealing that the private retirement market is estimated to reach a value of \u00a344bn by 2022, reflecting a 50 per cent increase.\nYou are here: Home / Market News / Retirement Living market to double in just 4 years\n3rd July 2018 by admin\nKnight Frank has released its latest retirement housing report, revealing that the private retirement market is estimated to reach a value of \u00a344bn by 2022, reflecting a 50 per cent increase. The number of private retirement living units is also forecast to increase by almost 30 per cent in the same timeframe.\nThe report, Retirement Living comes of age, highlights how investment into the UK later living market is at an unprecedented level, with growth driven by private sector development and the economic attraction of this maturing market.\nThere are currently more than 720,000 retirement units in the UK, 75 per cent of which are social housing. However the market is evolving from predominantly publicly funded stock, with private development accounting for 54 per cent of all new units delivered annually since 2000. Looking ahead to 2022, this is set to rise to 78 per cent of total delivery.\nThe market has evolved into two distinct types; later living with limited on-site care (70 per cent of the market) and Housing with Care/Assisted Living with increased management and amenities (30 per cent). Of those aged 65+ in the UK, only 0.5 per cent are residing in housing with care schemes. This hugely lags behind the mature markets in the USA, Australia and New Zealand, which all exceed 5 per cent.\nLooking at existing supply, assuming that 25 per cent of over 65s would consider downsizing, the ratio of existing private retirement units stands at 62 homes per 1,000 population across England \u2013 or in broader terms 16 people who would consider downsizing for every existing unit. The lowest ratio is in the North East (25 homes per 1,000) and the highest in the South East (103 per 1,000). Three million retirement properties are required to house these people today, but with the number of people aged over 65 in England forecast to increase 20 per cent to 12 million by 2027; this undersupply is set to grow.\nIn London, the Draft New London Plan is the only major plan in the UK to outline annual targets for the delivery of later living. If implemented, this will see an additional 4,000 units delivered per year across the capital up to 2029. However the latest data from Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC) indicates the London pipeline has recorded 1,009 new retirement units for delivery between 2018 and 2020, missing the target.",

Perhaps because they're barely British (Antony was born in the UK, but grew up in California), the indie pop band has only been given a 12-to-1 chance of winning by the British bookies.\nHowever, that doesn't stop the critically acclaimed band from touring. Hiding out in Europe for the majority of July, Antony and the Johnsons will be playing a one-off date in New York City at the end of the month. But when September rolls around, a few more North American cities will be getting the same treatment.\nAntony's September tour in support of I Am A Bird Now includes just four performances so far, and funnily enough, two are in Canada. First up will be Vancouver on September 15th, followed by Montreal on September 29th.

Cosmic dust is made of tiny particles, much smaller than the width of a human hair, floating around in the space between stars.\nAstronomers used to consider cosmic dust a nuisance. It blocks the light from objects in space, making the Universe appear very dark and hiding lots of interesting things.\nBut every dusty cloud has a silver lining. When astronomers started to use special cameras to look at space in infrared, they discovered that they could see the dust shining.\nThis is lucky for us because there are several very important reasons to study it. Dust is the material that makes up humans, rocky planets and other stars!\nCosmic dust is made around stars, along with other material called molecules (particles that contain two or more elements).\nUnfortunately, some stars end their lives in a particularly violent fashion \u2013 an explosion bright enough to outshine billions of stars. When this happens, all the dusty molecules within the star are destroyed.\nWhich is why scientists were so surprised recently, when they discovered tiny little dust grains and molecules inside the remains of an exploded star!\nThe star they were exploring exploded 30 years ago. Over time the remains have cooled down enough that new molecules are able to form from out of the many materials created in the star. The result is a kind of rich, dust factory.\nThis is good news for us, because like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the dead star has helped to create new stars, planets and maybe life forms!\nHalf of all light in the Universe is hidden from human eyes by space dust! Luckily we have created special cameras and telescopes that are able to reveal this hidden light.",

        "title": "Should We Expect Stunning Revelations On Aliens on the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland Beginning January 23, 2013? \u00bb Stankov's Universal Law Press",
        "raw_content": "\u2190 The First Reasonable Explanation From an External Source Why Ascension Failed on Dec 21, 2012\nEnergy Update -January 23, 2013 \u2192\nby Georgi Stankov, January 22, 2013\nThere are rumours in circulation in Russia coming from semi-official sources attributed to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs that suggest that the Prime Minister Medvedev is intending to press on Obama on the World Economic Forum beginning in Davos, Switzerland tomorrow, January 23, 2013 to participate in a worldwide disclosure on the existence of aliens on the earth, who have worked for decades with the elite and the dark cabal on power. If Obama rejects to participate in this disclosure, Russia will make these announcements on its own.\nThe WEF (The Forum) is a private Swiss non-profit foundation, based in Geneva and describes itself as an independent international organization committed to improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. In reality, it is a melting pot for the worldwide dark elite in politics, finance and industry and fully under the auspices of the Bilderbergers, the Rothschild, and the Rockefeller groups, through their puppets in the Council of Foreign Relations and other US- and EU-governmental institutions.\nThe Forum is best known for its annual meeting in Davos, a mountain resort in Graub\u00fcnden, in the Eastern Alps region of Switzerland. The meeting brings together some 2,500 top business leaders, international political leaders, selected intellectuals and journalists to discuss the most pressing issues facing the world, including health and the environment as defined by the needs of the Cabal on power. In the past, many impulses aiming at the establishment of the New World Order (NWO) came from the annual meeting in Davos, which is widely covered by all mass media. However the clandestine agenda of the elite on this Forum can only be discerned between the lines.\nMedvedev is scheduled to open this year\u2019s forum where as many as 50 heads of government, including Germany\u2019s Angela Merkel and Britain\u2019s David Cameron, will attend the five-day meeting that begins on 23 January.\nThe program of the Forum this year is scheduled to address a number of highly controversial issues, which have been kept secret for decades, as this can be read in the 2013 Exectuve Summary of the WEF: It includes the following items:\n1) Testing Economic and Environmental Resilience, where various catastrophic scenarios regarding the impending ID split of the catastrophic earth B from the current timeline A/B will be discussed.\nThen comes a very critical topic, which the reader must decipher in the Executive summary of the Forum. One needs a lot of background information to understand what the Davos\u2019 cabal actually mean by this:\n2) Digital Wildfires in a Hyperconnected World:\n\u201cSocial media allows information to spread around the world at breakneck speed in an open system where norms and rules are starting to emerge but have not yet been defined. While the benefits of our hyperconnected communication systems are undisputed, they could potentially enable the viral spread of information that is either intentionally or unintentionally misleading or provocative. Imagine a real-world example of shouting \u201cfire!\u201d in a crowded theatre. In a virtual equivalent, damage can be done by rapid spread of misinformation even when correct information follows quickly. Are there ways for generators and consumers of social media to develop an ethos of responsibility and healthy scepticism to mitigate the risk of digital wildfires?\u201d\nWhat the Davos\u2019 dark Elite actually mean by this is that they are now preparing for the worst case scenario when sudden revelations will be made popular worldwide and will go viral, as was the case with the Russian president Medvedev\u2019s Revelations on aliens recently (see below).\nAnother worst case scenario for the elite is when I will ascend and appear as the first ascended human master and the mass media can no longer hide my presence and have to report it. Behind this cryptic statement, the elite is trying in vain to find a way to compromise such \u201castral breaking news\u201d in the hope to mire the masses one more time, as they have done this extensively in the past in the hope to prevent their demise from power, detainment, or at best, simple expulsion to catastrophic earth B by the ID spilt.\n3. The Dangers of Hubris on Human Health\nThis kind of medical items is new for this Forum, which I follow for more than 20 years. It perspires the angst of the elite about their health when the energetic situation will change so dramatically very soon that they will not be able to survive the powerful high frequency energies coming from the source and being transmitted to humanity by the unity field of the PAT and will begin to die.\nOnly in the last two days I have read four channeled messages that confirm the massive death of many human beings very soon that have decided not to follow the light. This is a marked deviation from the early, fluffy messages by such sources after Dec 21 and this indicates that the decision, who will ascend, who will stay on earth A/B, and who will die has been fallen, as we have discussed it last week. The destiny of those, who will stay on the catastrophic earth B, has been fallen long time ago.\nThe actual worry of the elite is not the rapid increase of antibiotic resistant bacteria which is an old problem, with which I had to deal in the early 80s when I was the responsible medical doctor for the scientific basis of the antibiotic sales in Lederle, the first pharmaceutical company to develop penicillin during WW2. This is my background and that is why I can confirm that the Forum in Davos has never dealt before with such specific medical topics that are obviously beyond the knowledge of its medically incompetent guests.\n4) Special Report: National Resilience to Global Risks\n\u201cThis year\u2019s Special Report examines the difficult issue of how a country should prepare for a global risk that is seemingly beyond its control or influence. One possible approach rests with \u201csystems thinking\u201d and applying the concept of resilience to countries. The report introduces five components of resilience \u2013 robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness, response and recovery \u2013 that can be applied to five country subsystems: the economic, environmental, governance, infrastructure and social. The result is a diagnostic tool for decision-makers to assess and monitor national resilience to global risks.\u201d\nThis part of the Davos agenda actually deals with the establishment of new strategies of the elite how to survive the magnetic pole reversal and the deluge, accompanied by other natural catastrophes on the earth B, when the ID spilt will be triggered by the PAT supernova. On this catastrophic planet immediate wars among the current hugely weakened superpowers, such as USA, Russia, China, or what has remained of them, will be unleashed in order for the rivaling elite groups to secure their survival. Just read between the lines.\nAnd here comes the most important point in the whole agenda of the Forum in Davos.\n5. X Factors from Nature\n\u201cDeveloped in partnership with the editors of Nature, a leading science journal, the chapter on \u201cX Factors\u201d looks beyond the landscape of 50 global risks to alert decision-makers to five emerging game-changers:- Runaway climate change: Is it possible that we have already passed a point of no return and that Earth\u2019s atmosphere is tipping rapidly into an inhospitable state?\nThis item clearly shows the fear of the elite soon to be confronted with the hostile climate on a catastrophic earth B.\n\u2013 Significant cognitive enhancement: Ethical dilemmas akin to doping in sports could start to extend into daily working life; an arms race in the neural \u201cenhancement\u201d of combat troops could also ensue.\nThis item actually alludes to the impending enhancement of the new awareness of humanity when the people will no longer allow to be enslaved and duped as before and when ethical, spiritual issues will finally come to the fore. This will end the rule of the elite for ever.\n\u2013 Rogue deployment of geoengineering: Technology is now being developed to manipulate the climate; a state or private individual could use it unilaterally.\nThis is an ample, official admission of the elite, for the first time to my knowledge at this international level, that the former PTB have made extensive use of HAARP to change the climate and have caused huge natural catastrophes such as the recent storm on the US East coast only to promote their heinous goals, in this particular case, to help Obama win the elections.\n\u2013 Costs of living longer: Medical advances are prolonging life, but long-term palliative care is expensive. Covering the costs associated with old age could be a struggle.\nThis item is a cover-up for the genocide and euthanasia programs, which the dark elite have ready in their drawers to fully implement on earth B. Their greatest fear is that the masses that will survive on this rotten planet will enter their survivalist mode of life and will disrespect any national or legal authority, so that the elite will not be able to put them under control and hence will try to eliminate as many humans as possible immediately after the ID split. They know that the catastrophic earth B will not be in the position to provide food and shelter for so many people. Therefore, the survival of the elite will hugely depend on how many people they will exterminate on the earth B as to secure their initial survival in underground bases.\n\u2013 Disciovery of alien life: Proof of life elsewhere in the universe could have profound psychological implications for human belief systems.\nIt is for the first time that the Davos Forum addresses the topic of aliens. The political background will be explained below in more detail. What I am doing here is a complicated forensic investigation to find out the red thread in this auspicious, last gathering of the elite on this earth A/B, but it is worth doing this exploratory work as to gain some glimpses into the profound disarray, in which the elite is at present, and how futile their efforts are to save their rotten lives.\nAs you may remember, on Dec 7, 2012 the Russian President Medvedev, after completing an on-camera interview with reporters in Moscow, continued to respond to reporters and made some off-air comments without realizing that his microphone was still on. He was then asked by one reporter if \u201cthe president is handed secret files on aliens when he receives the briefcase needed to activate Russia\u2019s nuclear arsenal.\u201d\nMedvedev then responded:\n\u201cAlong with the briefcase with nuclear codes, the president of the country is given a special \u2018top secret\u2019 folder. This folder in its entirety contains information about aliens who visited our planet\u2026 Along with this, you are given a report of the absolutely secret special service that exercises control over aliens on the territory of our country\u2026 More detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called Men In Black\u2026 I will not tell you how many of them are among us because it may cause panic.\u201d\nThis was what the official Western media (e.g. Reuters and Guardian) published at that time and interpreted as a joke of Medvedev:\nThe Western media alluded to the Hollywood blockbuster \u201cMen in Black\u201c, while Medvedev actually meant the Russian documentary film \u201cMen in Black \u201d which details many UFO and alien anomalies. Full MIB length movie in Russian with English subtitles can be found here:\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kIyrpTv2kUg\nWhere Western news sources quoted Medvedev as saying \u201cMore detailed information on this topic you can get from a well-known movie called \u2018Men In Black,\u2019\u201d his actual answer was, \u201cYou can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name.\u201d\nThis changes profoundly the intention of Medvedev\u2019s statements off camera, which were deliberately distorted and ridiculed by the Western mass media. If you remember, I wrote at that time to a question from a PAT member that I listened to this interview in Russian language and that I could not confirm this translation for two reasons:\n1) the quality of the tone (transmission) was very poor, so that it was impossible for me to discern what Medvedev exactly told the reporters, and\n2) that the translation is definitely not accurate to what I was able to understand so far (Please check my statement in a previous report on this website which I cannot find now):\nThe said Russian documentary film is full of well documented facts about UFOs and alien connections on the earth and if this film has been made the foundation of Medvedev\u2019s revelation on Dec 7, 2012, which I have just learnt per coincidence, then the whole incident acquires a completely new dimension and historical importance. I urge all my readers to watch this video very carefully. Unfortunately not all information given in the film is translated from Russian into English subtitles, but it is still an excellent revelation film on aliens, and the best one I have ever seen so far.\nHence we are heading to exciting times and Davos may be the first trigger that will unleash worldwide revelations. If this happens, then we can reckon with a quick ascension of myself and some other members of the PAT and our official appearance in front of humanity that will catapult the PAT in the centre of the world events. Fasten your seat belts my friends.",

        "title": "New Trend: \"Goal Setting\" for Business Professionals - Success Fuel for Managers : Success Fuel for Managers",
        "raw_content": "People are getting serious about setting goals, and they want guidance. More and more articles are cropping up on the topic, and business leaders are once again planning goal setting retreats for their teams. Those who have never formally created these types of success targets are lining up to learn how to achieve more than before.\nThis is not something that is shiny or new to Generation Y. Professionals of all ages, across industry lines, are taking a look at how to set and achieve goals.\nHowever, goal setting is not really trendy. It is something done formally or informally as part of regular planning for many in the business world. For those who use goal setting as a success tool, the process achieving is part of their soul, not something that is coming into fashion.\nMy own experience with setting goals and actively working to achieve them has been productive. I doubt I could have had a growth oriented career in business or run my own business for several years without a goal centered focus. While I do not always reach all the goals I set, I have advanced my career step by step. Credit for my success is linked to the pursuit of my clear and written goals.\nThroughout my career I have read a lot about goals. Sometime I encountered good advice, other times it was not as powerful. When I set a goal, it makes it easier for me to make the hard choices that always seem to crop up. If I have to decide on an action, it is simple to ask myself if the decision moves me closer to my goal, or farther from the target.\nThis is not about riches or fame, but instead a way of getting focused in a noisy and crazy world. My goals are the bumpers in the gutters that keep the ball moving toward the pins without falling off the side (think of taking a kid bowling and using the bumpers to keep their ball from falling off the side).\nAnyone who attended goal setting workshops in the 1980s or 1990s has probably heard the the famous (and fake) story about the 1953 graduating class at Yale University, and how the 3% who had clear written goals were more successful than the other 97% of their class.... combined!!! While the story was told by many famous speakers (Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, etc...) it has no factual basis.\nSome have tried to cite this false story as a reason to pooh-pooh the use of goals. But a fake story, even one that was over-told, does not undermine the power that many find in working toward a defined destination.\nI started my speaking career teaching goal setting sessions. I was not yet seasoned as a speaker, but people seemed to like the classes and it encouraged my career as a professional speaker, although I had branched out to other topics.\nMy business coaching clients have always been exposed to my encouragement to embrace the practice of goal setting and I am again starting to teach this topic to audiences. I have re-tooled my most popular talk, \"Your Goals and Your Soul\" for 2013 and beyond.\nPay attention to blogs, periodicals, keynotes, seminar sessions, training classes, etc.... as the topic of goal setting is coming on strong for the next few years. Invest your time to listen to what business writers and speakers are saying about ways to work toward goals, and achieve more in your career and life. Do not shy away from the idea of having goals.\nFew things are as satisfying in your career as crossing off an attained goal that you have been pursuing over time. Reaching a goal takes time, but the success is sweet!\nPosted in: Management, Performance",

        "raw_content": "Home\u200e > \u200eLocations\u200e > \u200eTennessee\u200e > \u200e\nTennessee Waterfalls\nThere are a large number of beautiful waterfalls in the eastern half of Tennessee. I finally made it out to the Cumberland Plateau area and got a bunch of waterfalls. There are some truly spectacular waterfalls in the state and I've only begun to scratch the surface.\nBald River Falls:\nTrailhead GPS: 35.32451,-84.17724 (Parking area along FSR 210)\nBald River Falls is a spectacular waterfall on its namesake river in Monroe County. The waterfall is located in the Cherokee National Forest, just outside Bald River Gorge Wilderness. The waterfall is visible from the road - no hiking necessary. A steep path leads down to the base where you can swim in the pool beneath the falls.\nTo visit the falls, head east out of Tellico Plains on TN-165/Cherohala Skyway. In just under 5 miles, bear right onto River Road/Forest Service Road 210. Follow this road for about 6 miles and the waterfall will be on the right. There's no missing it! There is a small parking area on the right after the falls to park.\nBenton Falls:\nTrailhead GPS: 35.15070,-84.60780 (Chilhowee Recreation Area Parking.\nBenton Falls is a beautiful waterfall on its Rock Creek in Polk County. The waterfall is located in the Ocoee River Zone of Cherokee National Forest. The hike to waterfall is about 3 miles round trip and easy and there is a $3 day-use fee.\nTo visit the falls, head east out of Cleveland on US-64 for about 16 miles. You will drive along Parksville Lake as you enter Cherokee National Forest. Turn left on Oswald Road/FSR 77 and drive 7.2 miles up the mountain. Turn right into Chilhowee Recreation Area. At the fork, bear left (don't go to the campground) and park at the day-use parking area. There is a $3 per car fee payable at self-serve kiosks in the parking lot.\nFrom the parking area, get on the blue-blazed Benton Falls Trail (#131) past the restrooms at Lake McCamy. Follow this easy, well-marked trail for about 1.5 miles to Benton Falls. The trail ends at the waterfall, though Clemmer Trail (#302) picks up past the waterfall.

On the way back, turn left after crossing the bridge to get two more waterfalls and finish up the loop.\nTwin Falls (Gee Creek)\nTrailhead GPS: 35.24704,-84.54036 (Parking on Gee Creek Road/FR-2013)\nTwin Falls is a small waterfall on Gee Creek in Polk County. The waterfall is located in the Gee Creek Wilderness in Cherokee National Forest. The hike to the falls is about 2 miles round trip and moderate.\nTo visit the falls, head north on I-75 from Chattanooga for around 35 miles. Take exit 36 and turn right on TN-163 east. Drive a little over 15 miles and turn right on US-411 south. Immediately, turn left on Gee Creek Road. Follow this road, which becomes Forest Road 2013, for 2.2 miles to the trailhead.\nFrom the trailhead, follow Gee Creek Trail (#191) as it follows Gee Creek upstream and enters the wilderness area. It's just under a mile to Twin Falls. Along the way you'll pass some nice cascades along the creek and the remnants of an old mining operation.\nTwin Falls (Rock Island)\nTrailhead GPS: 35.80875,-85.63312 (Twin Falls Parking Area in Rock Island State Park)\nTwin Falls is a large cascading waterfall on a tributary of Caney Fork in Warren County. The waterfall is located in Rock Island State Park. It's only a short half-mile hike to view this waterfall. The waterfall was \"created\" when Caney Fork River was dammed. The dam caused the water level of Collins River to rise, flooding an underground cavern and ultimately draining through Twin Falls.\nTo visit the falls, head west from Sparta on US-70S and in 2 miles, bear left to stay on US-70S W. Drive 4.7 miles and turn right on Armstrong Road. In a quarter mile, turn left on McMinnvile Hwy and go 4.7 miles to Power House Road. Turn right and go 2 miles to the end of the road at the Twin Falls Observation Area in Rock Island State Park. You can see the waterfall from the parking area. For the best views follow the Downstream Trail and climb out on the rocks.\nTwisting Falls\nTrailhead GPS: 36.23418,-81.97047 (Parking area off Dark Ridge Road)\nTwisting Falls, also called Compression Falls, is a beautiful waterfall on Elk River in Carter County. The waterfall is located in the Watauga Lake Zone of Cherokee National Forest. The hike to the waterfall is only about a mile round trip, but it's exceedingly steep.\nTo visit the falls, take US-321 south from Hampton for about 17 miles (heading towards North Carolina). Turn right on Poga Road and then turn left right before the bridge to stay on Poga Road. Go 3.5 miles and then turn right on Clawson Road. In another half-mile, turn right on Dark Ridge Road. Go just under a half-mile to a parking area on the right before the road changes to gravel.\nFrom the parking area, hike down the path at the back of the parking area to an opening at some power lines. Go down to the power lines and turn left and follow the very steep path down to Elk River. It's short, but very steep. Once down at river level, follow the river upstream a short ways to the base of the waterfall. This is a popular swim hole in the summer.\nVirgin Falls:\nVirgin Falls is a spectacular 100-foot waterfall on a tributary of Piney River in White County. The waterfall is located in Virgin Falls State Natural Area. The hike to the waterfall is about 9 miles round trip and difficult and includes several other waterfalls.\nFrom the parking area, get on the Virgin Falls trail. You'll pass Big Branch Falls, the cable crossing over Big Laurel Creek, and Big Laurel Falls. In another mile past Big Laurel Falls, come to the intersection with Loop Trail. It's a loop so you can go either way. Right passes Sheep Cave Falls and left goes straight to Virgin Falls. Virgin Falls is one of the coolest waterfalls I've been to. The water comes out of a cave, drops over 100 feet, and falls into a sinkhole to disappear underground. A short trail leads up to the top to see the Virgin Falls Cave.\nWhite Pine Cascade:\nTrailhead GPS: 35.69004,-84.94998 (Parking on Walden Mountain Road)\nWhite Pine Cascades is a 20-foot waterfall on Duskin Creek in Rhea County. The waterfall is located along the Cumberland Trail State Park. The hike to the waterfall is about 3 miles round trip and moderate in difficulty.\nTo visit the falls, head north on TN-68 from Spring City. In just over a mile, turn left on Shut In Gap Road, before crossing the bridge over Piney River. Follow Shut In Gap Road for 6.3 miles, heading up the Cumberland Escarpment and passing Stinging Fork Falls State Natural Area. Turn left on the gravel Forest Camp Road and go 0.4 miles to Walden Mountain Road. Turn left and go 1.1 miles to the parking area on the right, immediately after crossing Duskin Creek on a sketchy bridge.\nFrom the parking area, pick up the Cumberland Trail and follow Duskin Creek downstream. There is a bridge over the creek in under a half-mile. Continue to follow the trail on the north side of the creek for about 1.5 miles to White Pine Cascades. There's a sign on a tree indicating the waterfall, but the trail's so close to the creek here, there's no doubt when you reach it. The sun was shining right on it so I couldn't get a good picture, but it looked like a nice waterfall.",

        "raw_content": "The year 2015 has finally come to an end and 2016 is now here. However, I have made tons of tunes over the past year and always get asked what my favourites are? Well, I decided to kick off the new year by listing my all time favorite tunes of 2015.\nThe list below isn\u2019t in any particular order, nor does it mean these are the best cars I have ever made, but these are the tunes I always came back to. The ones that are always exciting to drive each time, and more than anything else, just my personal favourites.\nUp first on the list is the Dodge Viper ACR 2016. Not a real 2016 ACR because that\u2019s not available in the GT6, which was the whole point why I made this one. It is an exact replica including aero and bodykits to get you as close as possible to an actual 2016 ACR Viper. Tons of fun to drive, looks cool, and just generally nice to drive.\nPretty much exactly the same description as the ACR Viper only for the SV Aventador. The differences are more hp, 4WD, and Italian design. How can you not like this thing? It also sounds amazing! If you check the tune, I have a video of me driving it around and you\u2019ll see right away how great it sounds. Tons of fun to drive and watch on the replays.\nThis tune wasn\u2019t actually made by me, and I wasn\u2019t expecting it to be that great. I get tons of tunes from other people and most are just alright, this car in particular is very difficult to tune, which is why I wasn\u2019t getting my hopes up if the tune wasn\u2019t that great. However, I was super surprised because not only was the tune great, it is one of the top tunes to try. It\u2019s seriously insane how quick, yet tame the car is.\nThis is in my top tunes of all time. It looks so good, sounds pretty good, and is just scary fast. I got over 260mph on a straight of a normal track, and this isn\u2019t even a top speed tune, wow. It doesn\u2019t take a ton of concentration to control it either. The 4WD system makes it quite easy to get really fast lap times. Of course it\u2019s still a monster, but once you master it there are not many cars out there as quick.\nThis car took forever to tune. It was uncontrollable and even after hours of testing is still a car that will kill you. The good news is it\u2019s a lot better from where it started and pretty much goes 200mph everywhere. The speeds are unreal and that can cause you trouble. If you watch yourself and really focus you will have no trouble making this one of your faster track monsters.\nSuper tiny and totally different from all the other cars on the list. However, that doesn\u2019t mean it still isn\u2019t a ton of fun to drive. It\u2019s so low powered, but looks so cool. It has a lot of different visual upgrades too, which is pretty nice. It\u2019s also 400pp and perfect for tons of seasonal events. Always fun to cut back from the super powerful cars and drive a small hot hatch.\nThis one is nuts. I made a drag tune and then tried this race tune, and both are insane. I really wish the 650s and P1 was in the game because they must be amazing to drive. This particular tune is good to drive anywhere, but specifically built for the Nurburgring and does a great job at carving up the track. Not as insane as you might think too, but man does it have a lot of power.\nNot the quickest car ever, but sounds great and is still really quick. This one is probably my most used car. Something about it I just really like. It\u2019s quick around the track, but gets a lot faster once you learn more about the car. Each corner you will learn where to brake and when to accelerate. Very easy to screw up, but very fast when you get right.\nYou may have noticed these are all race tunes even though I make tunes for everything. The reason behind this is because race tunes are something all can relate to. A drift tune may be awesome to me, but someone who isn\u2019t good at drifting will hate it. Either way, I really enjoy driving all of these tunes and always come back to them. Hopefully you all enjoy them too and Happy New Year!",

        "raw_content": "Home Hyperloop science What is Hyperloop?\nIt is a mode of transport that is (nearly) as fast as a commercial aeroplane and claimed to be as safe/safer than that. It is considered to be the 5th mode of transportation as it differs from any of the existing modes. It is claimed to be better than trains/planes in many ways.\nA new idea is useless unless it is much faster than conventional trains. The hyperloop uses air-suspension (imagine a hovercraft) for the passenger capsule inside a partially evacuated tube.\nThis way, energy loss due to friction and drag are minimized.\nPropulsion happens at various sections along the track by means of linear induction motors (Similar to the conventional motors but instead of rotary motion, the same principles are used to generate a linear motion). This makes it fast and cheaper than a magnetic-levitation model which required significant construction in addition to some rare earth elements.\nThe proposed budget for the project is $6B which is roughly one-tenth of the California High-Speed Rail Project's budget.\nThe operating cost too is cheap as it coasts along for about 90% of the travel time (Remember linear induction motors are used only at certain sections of the track to accelerate).\nMoreover, the 'tubes' inside which the capsules travel are covered with solar arrays and Musk says they produce more power than that is required to run the system. That makes it self-sustaining.\n(Source: http://www.teslamotors.com/sites...)\n3) Safety and convenience\nIt has been meticulously designed to withstand all weather conditions and even earthquakes.\nPassenger safety has been promptly addressed with various measures (I am not mentioning them here to not make this answer unnecessarily long). The fact that the entire travel time from LA to SF is less than the time you would take to board a plane should give you an idea that not many safety concerns should arise.\nA 30-minute travel time from LA to SF and it starts whenever you are ready. Need more convenience?\n4) The Best Part\nIt is made opensource and that will ensure the hyperloop is further improved a lot before its implementation\n(Information Source: Hyperloop alpha)\nWhat is Hyperloop?

        "raw_content": "| Home | Trivia | Q80 : What kind of place is the setting for \"Utou\"?\nWhat kind of place is the setting for \"Utou\"?\nThe main setting of \"Utou\" is Tateyama (Mount Tate) in the province of Etch\u016b (modern-day Toyama Prefecture), in Japan's Northern Alps. Over 3,000 meters high, Tateyama is now a popular tourist destination that offers pleasure to people in all seasons, thanks to the well-maintained Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Traditionally, however, it was known as the \"Hell Mountain of Tateyama\" and the object of worship, because of its landscapes of sulphur gas belching out into the air from between steep bare rocks.\nTateyama was included as a place of gods in a poem in the Man'y\u014d-sh\u016b (the oldest anthology of Japanese tanka poems). As Buddhism spread during the Heian and Kamakura Periods, the mountain began to be considered a place where Hell was real. Thus, the name \"Hell Mountain of Tateyama\" became popular and spread via legends and folktales. \"Utou\" may trace its origins to such traditions. The leading actor of the play shows dark scenes of grisly hell based on the well-known Tateyama landscape.\nIn the Edo Period, pilgrims' lodgings and climbing routes were prepared under the protection of the Kaga clan. People from all around the country visited the mountain believing that if they visited hell alive, they would be reborn in Paradise. This followed nation-wide promotional activities using graphic representations known as \"Tateyama Mandala,\" at first conducted by pilgrims from the lodging temples, then by household medicine peddlers from Toyama.",

They've just announced a big one: Das Rheingold, the first of Wagner's four-opera Ring Cycle, will not be performed in the 2018 festival as previously announced. It will be replaced with Brief Encounters, a trio of short operas by Mark Adamo, Jake Heggie and Illick (and not to be confused with Andre Previn's opera of the Noel Coward play) that was performed at the Santa Fe Opera in 2017.\nThe other two operas announced on the 2018 season will remain: Piazzolla's Maria de Buenos Aires and Donizetti's Don Pasquale. The sixth edition of Frontiers will return, too.\nBelow is the news release from the Fort Worth Opera:\nFort Worth Opera (FWOpera) announced today that the organization is cancelling all planned performances of Das Rheingold scheduled for the 2018 Festival season due to high production costs. Opera and the arts are an integral part of Fort Worth\u2019s cultural identity, and as the company embarks upon its 72nd season, it is crucial that it operate in a responsible manner out of respect for its devoted patrons and supporters. Fort Worth Opera has looked at every possible option to present Richard Wagner\u2019s epic fantasy next spring, but in order to preserve the company\u2019s financial integrity and continue to grow, it is unable to take on a production of this size at this time.\n\u201cThe decision to remove Das Rheingold from the 2018 Festival was difficult, but the Board of Trustees, Maestro Illick and I have listened to our donors and community partners regarding fiscal accountability and prudence,\u201d said FWOpera\u2019s General Director Tuomas Hiltunen. \u201cWhile it is unfortunate that we had to cancel this fine production next season, we want our patrons to know that going forward our efforts will be attuned to the community\u2019s needs as we rebuild the company into a vital cultural force that is sustainable here in North Texas.\u201d\nFort Worth Opera\u2019s previously scheduled three-opera season will remain next spring with the addition of Brief Encounters. This trio of fifteen-minute operas about life, love, and marriage is written by Mark Adamo (Avow), Jake Heggie (Again), and Joe Illick (Feel The Tango). In addition to the recent appointment of Tuomas Hiltunen as General Director, Joe Illick as the company\u2019s Artistic Director, and the newly formed National Artistic Council, the organization is shifting its focus towards expanding educational outreach, fostering collaborative partnerships, strengthening its diverse programming in the years ahead, and bringing opera to more of Tarrant County and areas outside of downtown Fort Worth.\nArtistic Director Joe Illick is optimistic about Fort Worth Opera's decision: \u201cDue to the costly production value of Das Rheingold, the opera is being removed from the 2018 schedule to ensure that we are in a strong financial position. Meanwhile, we will offer our Festival audiences a sensual and passionate production of Maria de Buenos Aires, and Donizetti\u2019s hilarious bel canto gem Don Pasquale, both with show-stopping casts. Additionally, we are thrilled to continue showcasing new operas with two nights of Frontiers and the Texas premiere of Brief Encounters - a whole new genre of short and lively operas, and a wonderful theatrical experience.\u201d",

        "title": "Biafra: Niger Delta an unwinnable war - The Biafra Post",
        "raw_content": "Home Niger Delta Top News Biafra: Niger Delta an unwinnable war\nBiafra: Niger Delta an unwinnable war\nat 23:00:00 Niger Delta, Top News,\nThe Federal Government of Nigeria is amassing troops, arms and ammunitions in the oil-rich Niger Delta region in readiness for war with the militants who have been destroying oil infrastructure. In the last week of last month, the Director of Army Public Relations, Col. Sani Usman, announced that the military had launched \u201ca precursor operation\u201d to a planned offensive codenamed \u201cCrocodile Smile.\u201d This is aimed at supporting a wider operation codenamed \u201cOperation Delta Safe.\u201d\nMost people in the Niger Delta have condemned the activities of these militant groups which are now sprouting like mushrooms and making both sensible and senseless demands. The Niger Delta people have suffered a lot since the discovery of oil in 1956. Their environment has been savagely spoilt. Their fishing waters and farming lands have vanished leaving them impoverished. Strange diseases have emerged that apparently have no cure. The reckless activities of these militants have done considerable damage to the Niger Delta ecosystem apart from the loss of oil revenue to the Federal Government. The Niger Delta leaders are pleading with these militants to give a peace a chance since the Federal Government is offering them the peace reed.\nA few weeks ago, Alfred Diete Spiff, a former military governor of the old Rivers State who is now a traditional ruler, had a meeting with Niger Delta leaders in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. A couple of weeks later, Edwin Clark, a former Federal Information Commissioner and a prominent leader in the region, also had a conference in Warri, Delta State, trying to find ways of resolving the matter without bloodshed. On his part, the Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, has been touring the region in search of an amicable solution to the conflict.\nSince President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is interested in a negotiated settlement of the matter I think the soldiers who are in the creeks of Sapele itching for action should tarry a while. Before hostilities begin, let me warn that this is an unwinnable war. No one will win. The militants will not win and the Federal Government will not win either. Men, women and children will be killed and maimed, property will be destroyed, the environment will be damaged. No oil will be produced because oil companies do not work with soldiers holding guns to their heads. The price of crude oil will go up but Nigeria will not benefit from the rise in price while the fight goes on in the creeks. New refugees will emerge; we will look for food, shelter and medicine for a new set of internally displaced persons (IDPs). We will then go looking for money to rebuild what has been destroyed in an economy that is already suffering from asphyxia. The only winners will be the generals who will be doing arms deals, food supply deals, drug supply deals and the women who will be available, willingly or unwillingly, to comfort the troops during the war. Crocodile, don\u2019t smile yet. Keep your teeth hidden.\nThe militants seem to have a largely incomprehensible shopping list. They talk of a Niger Delta Republic which is totally unrealisable in a setting where you have nine oil producing states (now ten with Lagos as the new entrant) dispersed in three regions that speak more than a dozen languages. Niger Delta Republic is hereby shot and killed dead. Before now, the Niger Delta Republic had died twice on arrival. Have they asked Niger Deltans if they want to be citizens of their so called Niger Delta Republic?\nNext, the militants are talking of restructuring the country into a truly federal system. Good idea but it is an idea that grabs more people other than Niger Deltans. It is an idea whose time has come because the present unitary system of government is not working. But you cannot achieve restructuring by the barrel of a gun. Restructuring is a national issue that must involve a conversation among all sections of the country. Some of those who oppose restructuring think it is the equivalent of a confederation or \u201cpulling apart,\u201d a reference to Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu\u2019s position at the Aburi talks before the Nigerian civil war broke out in 1967. But it is not a call for confederation. The current uniformisation of virtually everything is stifling. It is killing the people\u2019s initiative, creativity and their sense of adventure. That is part of why our economy is flat on its back despite the abundance of solid and liquid minerals all over the country. But you must be able to win people over to your point of view rather than intimidate them with the dictatorship of an AK 47.\nA few critics have accused Goodluck Jonathan who was President for six years of neglecting the Niger Delta, his own region, and allowing the festering sore to become cancerous. Oil has been exported from the region since 1958, that is precisely 58 years now and for that long that region has suffered from unconscionable neglect. Jonathan could never have been able to reverse a 58-year extortion and neglect within six years. Besides, Jonathan was chosen not by the Niger Deltans but singlehandedly by Olusegun Obasanjo for reasons best known to him.\nJonathan was not an assertive President. He was hesitant and tentative in dealing with issues that needed surefootedness, assertiveness and an unmistakable sense of direction. He was helmed in by those who own the country and he therefore was only able to manage the country with the abhorrent tentativeness of the uninitiated.\nPlease don\u2019t start a war in the Niger Delta because it will not end soon. The Niger Delta has a more treacherous topography than Sambisa Forest. The Niger Delta has dozens of creeks that are extremely inaccessible. It also has between 7000 and 8000 kilometres of pipelines that may be impossible to protect from vandalisation except an agreement is struck. Let us learn a lesson from the Boko Haram war. One of the reasons it hasn\u2019t yet ended is that lots of people, generals included, benefit from its continuation. If the war ends there will be no more supply of arms, food, drugs at inflated prices and no diversion of funds to buy houses for children, wives and concubines. A war in the Niger Delta will not be different. In any case, fighting two wars in one country at the same time not to mention skirmishes from the herdsmen and other trouble makers will be a needless distraction for the Federal Government. It can do better things with its time and resources. The militants say they are ready to talk.\nThe government says it wants to negotiate with the militants but no one knows the leader of its negotiating team. Ibe Kachikwu, the Minister of State for Petroleum, has been doing a tour of the region making statements about the need for peace but he is apparently doing so because of his ministerial portfolio. I urge President Buhari to take the bull by the horns and name his high calibre negotiating team as evidence of seriousness. A man like Abdulsalami Abubakar, former head of state who, during his time, had set up the Popoola Committee on the Niger Delta problem would fit the bill. He knows a thing or two about war and peace. He was the ECOWAS chief mediator on the Liberian crisis between Charles Taylor and the rebels. He successfully discharged his mandate. He was also the leader of the Commonwealth Eminent Persons Observer Group to the 2000 elections in Zimbabwe.\nHe earned the respect of the various observer groups with varying agenda by the fairness and evenhandedness, he brought to a very difficult assignment. He also handled the peace process of the 2015 Nigerian election fairly.\nI believe he is a man that would be respected by all the parties in the Niger Delta conflict. His easy access to the President which his stature guarantees would make decision-making less difficult than if a public servant is chosen to lead the team. Mr. President, think about it.\nNiger Delta, Top News\nNiger Delta Top News",

        "raw_content": "Donald Trump\u2019s hostile takeover of the Republican Party is entering its final stage, the day after the billionaire frontrunner delivered a dominant performance in the most recent presidential primaries, more than doubling his lead in the delegate count in the process.\nTrump\u2019s general disdain for the GOP establishment and its media allies was never more evident than this morning, when he called in to the Fox and Friends morning program and used the network\u2019s own show as a platform to announce that he was skipping the Republican National Committee-sanctioned debate scheduled for Monday night, which was supposed to be hosted by Fox News Channel.\nRelated: Donald Trump Swaggers to Another Campaign Milestone\nTrump said that he would instead be delivering a major speech Monday night, in Washington, to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a lobbying organization dedicated to supporting the interests of Israel.\nShortly afterward, one of Trump\u2019s remaining competitors, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, said through a spokesman that if Trump wouldn\u2019t be there Kasich wasn\u2019t going to bother to show up either. Within hours, Fox News announced that the debate had been cancelled.\nAlso on Wednesday morning, in another phoned-in appearance on CNN, Trump warned the party that it should expect violence if he is denied the nomination despite winning a plurality of delegates to the nominating convention in July. Trump needs to collect 1,237 delegates to win the nomination on a first ballot vote.\nRight now, the main focus of his two remaining competitors, Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, is not so much winning outright as denying Trump a first ballot majority. After that, when delegates are no longer bound to a certain candidate, they feel they might be able to engineer victory over Trump in a floor fight.\nRelated: Hillary Clinton Breaks the Back of the Sanders Revolution\n\u201cI think we'll win before getting to the convention,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I can tell you, if we didn't and if we're 20 votes short or if we're 100 short and we're at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400? Because we're way ahead of everybody, I don't think you can say that we don't get it automatically.\u201d\nHe added, \u201cI think you'd have riots. I think you'd have riots. I'm representing \u2026 many, many millions of people.\u201d\nRNC spokesman Sean Spicer told Politico later Wednesday morning, \u201cWell first of all, I assume he\u2019s speaking figuratively. I think if we go into a convention, whoever gets 1,237 delegates becomes the nominee. It\u2019s plain and simple.\u201d\nOf course, as Spicer well knows, there\u2019s good reason to believe that Trump might not be speaking figuratively at all. He has called for violence from the stage during his rallies, and promised to pay the legal fees of anyone who commits it. Over the weekend, he used Twitter to threaten Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, suggesting that he would send his supporters to break up a Sanders rally.\nRelated: It Took Trump to Bring Obama and GOP Leaders Together\nIf a political party is no longer in charge of the process by which candidates seeking to lead it make their case to voters and has to ignore, not condemn, threats of violence by its leading candidate, it\u2019s not clear that there is much of a party left.\nThe absurdity of the situation was clear Wednesday from the reaction of Cruz to the news that Trump would not debate on Monday. Getting Trump to himself \u2013 or close to it \u2013 on a debate stage has long been a major goal for Cruz, an accomplished debater who no doubt thinks he could humiliate Trump given the opportunity.\nBut instead of doing the humiliating, Cruz was the one disrespected on Wednesday. Trump implied that he wasn\u2019t worth debating, and Kasich essentially agreed.\nCruz was reduced to resurrecting \u201c#DuckingDonald,\u201d the Twitter hashtag he used the last time Trump bailed on a Fox News debate, which had about as much effect then as it is likely to have now: none.\nTrumpcare Would Cut Coverage to 21 Million, Cost up to $500 Billion, Study Says\nDonald Trump claims his plan to replace Obamacare will erase \u201cthe lines around the states\u201d so that people don\u2019t \u201cdie in...\nWhy Exactly Is Hillary Clinton Going on \u2018Broad City\u2019 Tonight?\nThere is a long history of politicians using popular television comedy shows to boost their aspirations.

        "title": "The History Box| The Tenement Question: Houses for People of Narrow Means 1885",
        "raw_content": "The Tenement Question: Houses for People of Narrow Means 1885\nThe rapid growth of the great cities of America during the past forty or fifty years has brought this country face to face with many problems which never entered into the calculations of the founders of the Republic. Some old world evils which it was once thought the free institutions of this country would forever prevent from troubling us here, have found their way across the Atlantic in a form sufficiently acute to excite alarm. Who would have believed forty years ago that the time would come when some portions of the City of New York would be more overcrowded with human beings than any part of London? Yet so it is, and the mitigation of this great evil is certain to call for a heroic remedy in the near future. How the workers of the great cities of America are to be houses is a question which is engaging the attention of all who have the welfare of the people at heart, and which is as urgent in New York as it is in London. In the former city we see the tenement house system at its worst, and the prospect of any great improvement in it for some time to come is certainly not promising. In Brooklyn we have a fairer field for improvement, and there is reason to hope that here we shall eventually be able to show an example to all other cities in respect to residences for our workers. At present, however, it must be admitted that the need for improvement is very great.\nThere is hardly anything that the self respecting working man feels more acutely than the disadvantage of having to live in a crowded tenement house. A Brooklyn mechanic who originally came from a small Connecticut town, remarked rather sadly tot he writer the other day: \"Where I came from there was no such thing as a tenement house. Each working man lived with his family in his own little cottage or if the house was large, two families would live in it, me upstairs and the other down stairs. Depend upon it, the tenement house system is demoralizing our people. it is throwing our families in contact with persons whom they would o otherwise never see or associate with. It is very bad in every way, but more especially for young girls, and indeed for the young of both sexes. These great tenement houses are morally and physically unwholesome.\nHere was an intelligent working man, who saw the evils of the tenement house system very clearly, and who possibly exaggerated some of them, yet he had no remedy to offer and no plan to propose by which large tenement houses can be done away with. The truth is that tenement houses cannot be dispensed with; they are a necessary evil, and where land is scarce and dear there is no other way of housing the people but in tenement houses. The aim of the philanthropist must be not to abolish tenement houses but to improve them; and they can be so improved as to be as healthy as any other class of residences and as free from moral taint as any other places can be where large numbers of people are brought together.\nThe tenement houses of Brooklyn may be roughly divided into three classes: First-Houses that are now used as tenements which were not originally intended for that purpose. Second__Houses built for tenements, but without due regard to sanitary requirements. Third__Tenement houses in which the sanitary feature has received due consideration. Tenements of the first class here indicated are very numerous in Brooklyn, especially along the East River front. Thousands of houses that were once occupied by single families have been turned into tenements and now have a family on each floor. The great majority of them are without any proper sanitary arrangements and from that point of view, they are very objectionable. Being generally built of wood, many of them have become very dilapidated in condition and year by year are sinking lower and lower as regards the class of tenants who occupy them. In some quarters of the city most of these houses have fallen into the hands of Italians, who fairly swarm in them, so numerous are the tenants, and many of whom are excessively dirty in their habits. yet their inhabitants seem to enjoy an average degree of health, in spite of the filth by which they are surrounded. This is due to a fact which is the great secret of the maintenance of health in large cities. These houses, although bad in almost every way and very objectionable from most points of view, have usually abundance of two of the great requisites to health light and air. The old fashioned house was seldom more than thirty-six feet in depth and usually only two stories in height, never exceeding three. Being only two rooms in depth, every apartment had a direct light and a free circulation of air either from the street or from the yard, which usually extended to a depth of sixty feet behind the house. The possession of these two requisites, light and air, in abundance are sufficient now to make amends for many other disadvantages to which these houses are subject, and to make them more healthy than many far more pretentious buildings. The public spirited citizen of Brooklyn who laments the existence of so many houses of this class should not regard them as a wholly unmixed evil. Most of them are near the end of their career and may be replaced by good tenement houses, in which men and women can live with comfort, built in accordance with sanitary requirements,. But when a citizen sees a big pretentious looking tenement house which has cost a large amount of money, but built with such evil ingenuity that humanity wastes and dies in it, then he may feel sad, for he knows that this costly fabric will stand for many years, that it is incapable of improvement and that its malign atmosphere will send scores, perhaps hundreds, to an untimely grave.\nThe tenement house of this class, which belongs to the second order designated above, is as yet not very numerous in Brooklyn, yet there are far more of them here than there ought to be and their number is increasing. While many of the new tenement houses now being erected are fairly suited to give health and comfort to their occupants others are almost as bad as they can be, and show no improvement whatever in the class of tenement houses erected fifteen or twenty years ago. Such a house will have a frontage of 25 feet, a depth of 60 and a height of four stories. It is fitted up to accommodate eight families. A narrow, bare, cheerless looking hall runs through the center and on either side of it are the tenements, consisting of four or five rooms, all the middle ones being without direct light or any direct means of ventilations. Sometimes such a house has a square jog in the side walls, a foot or so in depth, which gives a pretense of light and air to the inner rooms, but for any practical purpose this device serves the rooms might as well be left wholly dark. There is no current of air and, consequently, no ventilation. The other arrangements of the house are all in keeping, the plumbing is bad and the rooms soon become noxious with smells. How can human beings be expected to live and thrive in the sweltering heat of summers in such apartments.\" As a matter of fact they do not, and the terrible infant mortality of New York in Summer is a proof that the conditions of tenement house life there are wholly opposed to health. If Brooklyn is to escape similar evils prompt remedies must be applied to prevent the erection of houses which are built in disregard of sanitary laws. In London, where this matter has recently been taken hold of by the government and where large acres have been selected for the erection of model tenement houses, the problem is more difficult, because the population is larger and poorer, while land is dearer. The average London working man is not able to pay so high a rent as the average Brooklyn workingman. Many of the latter can and do pay from $12 to $15 a month for such accommodations as have been indicated and are quite willing to pay where the accommodations bear some fair comparison to their cost. It is notorious that there is no species of property that pays so well as tenement houses, the return from it being frequently as high as fifteen per cent. clear. This is more than almost any other sort of business will yield and almost four times as much as a capitalist would be willing to lend money for on unimpeachable security. Yet what security can be better than brick and mortar where the property is constantly in demand at a high rental? It is clear that the builders of tenement houses have no excuse for building them badly and that their profits would still be very large even if they built them after the most approved plans, with every sanitary requirement.\nBut when the workingman who is able to pay $12 to $15 a month as rent is so badly served, what is to become of the laborer whose means do not admit of his paying more than $6 to $8 a month. The kind of accommodation he has to put up with is, as all know, incredibly bad and his necessities not only serve to drag him down, but also to impair the comfort of his better off neighbors, the mechanics. A man is usually very much what his surroundings make him, and if the laborer is not always all that could be desired, the manner of his life, which he cannot escape under present conditions must be taken into account. If he had a clean and comfortable home, as he ought to have, he surely would be a very different man. That he can only obtain by the general introduction of model tenement houses, built with due regard to his requirements and his ability to pay.\nThe best model tenement house in America, and perhaps in the world, is in Brooklyn. It has been some eight years in existence and that it has not been duplicated over and over again certainly shows great slackness on the part of capitalists, for it is an investment that pays. It returns a clear dividend of six per cent. on the capital every year, beside yielding a large sum that is laid by every year as a reserve fund. This is over and above all expenditures for maintenance and repair, for the buildings are kept in such thorough order that they are, if possible, in better condition today than the day they were completed. Moreover, these buildings afford comfortable homes for two hundred and seventy families, numbering eleven hundred souls, who live under conditions as favorable to life and health as the residents of the most pretentious houses in the city. These tenements have become so popular that there is never a vacancy; any apartments that are vacated by tenants are snapped up at once. Many of the tenants have lived in the same apartments for years, and such a thing as a tenant being behind with his rent is hardly known, so excellent a lot of tenants have been collected. Yet these buildings accommodate tenants of all grades of ability to pay from the mechanic who can afford to pay $15 a month to the poor laborer who can pay no more than $1.50 a week. Instead of being dirty and reeking with smells, as is the case with too many tenements, these buildings are kept perfectly clean and wholesome, as clean, in fact, as any ordinary house. There is no dirt and no disorder, but a community of respectable, well behaved persons who take pride in keeping their apartments neat and tidy. It is needless to say that drunken, disorderly people and brawlers who destroy the comfort and character of so many tenement houses are not tolerated in these model dwellings.\nThe buildings referred to are situated on Hicks Baltic and Warren streets and were erected for Mr. A.T. White. They are the property of the Improved Dwelling Company, of which Mr. W.W. Tayleure is the courteous and efficient agent. Most people are familiar with their appearance, so that it is not necessary to describe them further than to say that they are of brick, six stories in height, the lower story of the building facing Hicks street being occupied by shops. The great feature of these buildings is that they contain no dark rooms. Every room of the 625 in the building has its own direct supply of light and air. The buildings are only thirty-eight feet four inches in depth and while the front rooms receive their light, and air from the street the rear rooms look out upon a well kept yard more than 100 feet in depth. The apartments are in suits of two, three and four rooms, each suit having a scullery and water closet of its own. The three roomed apartments are the most numerous. There are about fort-six two roomed suits and a smaller number of four roomed ones. The most expensive suits are some on the ground floor on Baltic street, with private entrance, consisting of four rooms, scullery and bath, for $15 a month. The great majority of the rooms, are, however, paid for weekly. A corner suit of three rooms on Hicks street, first floor above the stores, with scullery and water closet, costs $2.80 a week. These rooms are 18x8, 15x8 and 12x12 respectively, and this may be taken to fairly represent the average sizes of the rooms throughout. The same suit on the story above would cost $2.70, and so on with a reduction of ten cents a week for each additional story in height. The woman of the house, therefore, has the consolation of knowing that she is saving $5.20 a year for every stair she has to climb to get to her rooms. Three similar rooms to these above described in any other part of the block but the corner would cost $2.40 a week, with a similar reduction of ten cents a week for each story. Two rooms with scullery and water closet cost $2 for the first story, and ten cents less for every story higher up, the bottom figure being $1.50. These rents are payable weekly in advance, but if a tenant pays four weeks' rent in advance he is entitled to a reduction of forty cents, and if he remains in the same apartments for one year, p paying his rent regularly, he receives a rebate of $10. In this way the company last year paid back to his tenants the respectable sum of $1,300. By this arrangement a laborer with two rooms nominally costing him $1.50 a week, or $78 a year, would actually be only paying $62.80 for his healthy and comfortable apartments. His rent would be in fact less than $1.21 a week.\nEvery tenant in these buildings has his own locked compartment for coal in the cellar. Half the tenants dry their clothes in the yard and the other half on the roof. At every stair landing there is an iron gallery which serves two suits of rooms, leading to their front doors. The stairs are of slate and iron and are fireproof. The company lights them and keeps them clean as well as the yard and walks and the sidewalk in front. It also provides a free reading room, supplied with books and all the daily papers as well as magazines, for tenants, and also gives them access to bathrooms, where they can have cold baths without charge. For warm baths a nominal charge of five cents is exacted.\nIt is remarkable, in view of the great success of the Hicks street experiment, that the example has not been followed. There is no doubt that Brooklyn could easily fill twenty such model tenement blocks and it is almost impossible to exaggerate the benefit which their construction would be to the city. It is, of course, quite true that many builders of tenement houses, especially within the past year or two, have endeavored to overcome the difficulties which attend their construction and combine a reasonable degree of economy in money and land with good sanitary arrangements. A good example of a tenement house of this class was during the present Summer erected by Mr. Robert Dixon, the architect. It is located on Wyckoff street, near Nevins, and is of brick, four stories high, with a front age of 26 feet and a depth of 55. The lower story is occupied by two shops, each with two rooms attached to them behind. Upstairs there is a central hall and the tenements of four rooms each are on either side of it. There is a front room 17x12, a back room 15x12, and two rooms between each 10x9. To give light and air to these central rooms there is a V in the side wall some four feet in depth extending from the bottom to the top of the building, through which a current of air flows. Every door has a head light over it, giving a free circulation of air when the windows are opened. There is a water closet on each floor and an air shaft extending from the cellar to the roof. The halls are swept and kept clean by one of the tenants, who receives a rebate of his rent in consideration of this work and the landlord reserves the right to inspect the rooms once a month. This b building cost $8,000, and the owner is receiving $16 a month for each of the two shops, and for the tenements, $15, $14 and $13 respectively. The rent each month, therefore, reaches $116, or $1,392 for a year, which is about 17 1/2 per cent on the outlay, which, after deducting insurance, taxes and repairs, will leave a very ample margin for profit. It will thus be seen that a tenement house may be constructed with a due regard to the health of its occupants and yet be a most profitable investment.\nArticle Name: The Tenement Question: Houses for People of Narrow Means 1885",

        "raw_content": "Random Incidents Of Rape Throughout New York City 1800s\nCharge Of Attempted Rape (1)\nMichael Hurley, a small sized individual, who looked as if he attended to his spiritual comfort devotedly, was brought before Justice Boerum yesterday afternoon, on the complaint of a girl named Ann Carney, residing in Kelsey's alley, who charged him with having attempted to commit a rape upon her.\nThe complainant in the case was sworn and testified that she was a married woman, and that the deft, was a married man and lived in the same house and on the same floor with her, and she had been acquainted with the deft. about three months. On the 5th of last month the deft, came to her house, and after some conversation put his arms around her and threw her down and tried to commit an outrage upon her. She screamed for assistance, and then the accused left. On her cross examination she testified that she had been married for only about four months. She and the family of the accused were on the most intimate terms, and she had slept on the bed with deft's wife and children. She always slept at the foot of the bed with one of the children. She had never slept in the same bed with the accused. After the accused had attempted to commit the outrage upon her she told her husband, but she did not tell deft's wife, because she was not on good terms with her then.\nThe counsel for the defense moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that there was not enough in the evidence to hold the accused.\nThe motion was denied.\nThe further hearing of the case was adjourned until the 18th inst.\nAlleged Outrage On A Child (2)\nAndrew Doyle was placed upon trial this morning upon the charge of rape, the alleged victim of his passion being a little girl named Madeline Buggy, a child of seven years, who resides with her parents, near the corner of Dikeman and Conover streets. The child's testimony was of a positive character as to the disgusting details, and the mother testified that the alleged outrage occurred about the first of November last. Doyle kept a liquor store at the corner of Dikeman and Conover streets, and it is alleged that the child went into his place in quest of her little brother; that Doyle seized her in his arms, and took her to a recess behind the bar and behind a screen, and there committed the outrage. Doyle is a married man, about thirty years old, and swore positively that there had never been such an occurrence, and that he only knew the child from seeing her with others about his place and a candy store next door. Witnesses testified to Doyle's previous good character. Case still on.\nSamuel D. Morris, for the People; ex-Judge Moore, for defendant.\nA Father Charged With Attempting to Outrage His Daughter (3)\nYesterday afternoon, a young and attractive looking girl, who gave her name as Catharine Spolling, aged 16 years, came before Justice Walsh, and made a complaint of assault with intent to commit a rape against her father. She stated that for some time past her father has been addicted to habits of intoxication. Three months since her mother died, and since that time her father's dissipation increased to such an extent that on several occasions he made improper advances to her, when under the influence of liquor.\nOn Thursday afternoon, as she alleges, he locked her in a room and attempted by force to outrage her. She managed to foil him and escape and thinking forbearance in this case no longer a virtue, made her complaint to Justice Walsh. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Spolling, and he was arrested last evening and held for examination.\nThe Outrage On A Williamsburgh Girl Severely Punished (4)\nTwo weeks ago reports were published of a rape committed on a young girl residing on Bushwick avenue, in this city, by a New York rowdy. It will be seen by the annexed report of a trial, before the City Judge of new York, yesterday, that the rascal has met his deserts, not only adequately, but with a promptitude too seldom seen in our criminal courts:\nOn the 1st of April Eliza McKenzie left her home and came across the river to New York in search of a place. Passing along Pell street she observed at the door of No. 9 a girl of thirteen, whose name was afterwards ascertained to be Kate marsh, and in her guileless innocence not detecting in the bold manner of this seeming girl the loss of woman's greatest treasure, Eliza asked her if she knew any person who wanted a servant. A hellish fire flashed in the eye of the girl, and already conceiving the design of accomplishing the ruin of one of her sex, she answered in the affirmative, and led the poor girl to the top floor of the house, where she showed her a woman named Ida Campbell. Ida asked the girl to sit down, and kept her in conversation until James Campbell, a young fellow with a most villainous cast of countenance, and who was the chief actor in the loathsome scenes which followed came into the room. He caught Eliza in his arms and carried her into a back room, where, with the assistance of the two shameless creatures, he effected his purpose, despite the resistance and screams of the unfortunate girl. A respectable married woman, who lived on the same floor as the Campbells, testified that she heard the screaming on the day in question, and tried to open the door but found it locked. On hearing this plain statement, notwithstanding the perjured assertions of the prisoner, who said that the girl had willingly submitted to his embrace, and the strenuous exertions of his counsel, James D. McClelland, who made the most of a bad case and availed himself of every loophole, the jury, after a short consultation, found him guilty,, and Judge Bedford sentenced him to ten years to the State prison for his dastardly conduct.\nArticle Name: Random Incidents Of Rape Throughout New York City 1800s\nSource: The Brooklyn Eagle: (1) April 12, 1862; (2) February 10, 1871; (3) April 1, 1871; (4) April 19, 1870",

Sometimes when you don't know what you're looking for and you enter a large chain bookstore, it can drive you into a frenzy. I like stores with smaller selections because in that moment, they carry most of the you must read this today titles.\nI love Gillian Flynn. I even reviewed an advanced copy of Gone Girl before it became huge. Dark Places is good. Sharp Objects is even better.\nI've been wanting to get my hands on The Grownup for a while now and even though it's a short story, I knew I wanted to hold the book in my hand when I read all its pages. I'm an avid Kindle user but some books are meant to be smelled, felt, smudged, and have real pages that turn.\nI won't say too much about the book because it's a short one. I will say this...any book that begins with talking about giving hand jobs for more than a paragraph and ends with fear of the unknown is my kind of book.\nLabels: Am Reading, Horror, Love, Short Story",

        "raw_content": "Like many people these days, I\u2019ve chosen to abandon the idea of a traditional day job and instead walk the path of a freelancer. The so called \u2018gig economy\u2018 is often portrayed negatively in the press, but personally I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way.\nSo, on to the important stuff. What do I do, and what could I do for you?\nWhilst I\u2019m capable of researching almost any topic, my two main interests are horse racing and politics. I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to find client work in both of these fields, blurring the line between what I do for fun, and what I do for work.\nClient Writing\nThe bulk of my income comes from client work, and I\u2019ve written for a variety of publications \u2013 both online and in print. Sometimes these have been under my own name, but more often than not it\u2019s ghost written for the site owner or written under a nom de plume.\nNotable work includes articles and commentary for a large, and well known, politics site, as well as racing blogs for the website of a UK high street bookmaker. The content for both of these sites has been ghost written, so I am unable to list them here. Examples and references can be given upon request, please contact me for more information.\nI also write for a number of smaller sites for fellow entrepreneurs, including an incredibly frustrating blog on a betting website where the aim is to turn \u00a310 into \u00a31,000 using small odds wagers. Needless to say this is a very tricky task.\nWhilst most of my income is derived from customer orders, a large portion of my time is spent on my own websites which I develop, manage and write. I have a small handful of projects, but the most interesting \u2013 to me at least \u2013 are top10bettingsites.co.uk and betsites.co.uk which I have custom coded in PHP. Neither of these sites use a database, making them load in under one second:\nWebsite speed test according to Pingdom\nWhilst I am not a web developer by any stretch of the imagination, I can also offer my services assisting in the set up and customisation of websites and I am familiar with both WordPress and Joomla. On a similar note, I am also able to deliver content directly to your site or blog, complete with images and styling.",

She first joined the OTW staff in 2008 and served as Chair of the AD&T committee in 2009 before being appointed to the Board in December 2012. The Board is deeply grateful for Maia\u2019s years of dedicated service, which she will continue with our Accessibility, Design & Technology Committee.\nMaia\u2019s term was slated to end in 2014, and her resignation means that her seat may be filled by appointment, or that up to four Board seats will potentially be up for election in 2013. The Board has a range of options for restoring the elections timetable, and the Board is currently discussing how and when to fill Maia\u2019s seat. That decision will be announced, at the latest, in time for the 2013 election.\nThe Board has taken the opportunity provided by Maia\u2019s resignation to reshuffle its officer slate with an eye towards organizational sustainability. Board President Kristen Murphy, who was elected to the Board in 2010 and whose seat is up for election this year, has decided to step down as President to take on the role of Secretary for the remainder of her term. Kristen previously served as Secretary for the 2011 term and has served as President since 2012.\nAt this time, the Board is finalizing its decision as to who will serve as its next President, and will make that announcement shortly.\nThis post has been edited to clarify that Maia is continuing work within the OTW.\nWhat Fans Should Know About Amazon\u2019s Kindle Worlds Program\nFanlore Celebration Reminder",

        "raw_content": "T\u00fcrk Telekom Group shapes its business processes, offices, products and services around the principles of sustainability in order to leave a better world for future generations\nShaping its business processes, offices, products and services around the principles of sustainability in order to leave a better world for future generations, T\u00fcrk Telekom views the active participation of employees, their families, suppliers and customers in this process as an integral part of its strategy.\nT\u00fcrk Telekom is a member of FTSE4GOOD Index Series and BIST Sustainability Index.\nWell aware of the social and environmental impact of its high level of energy consumption, T\u00fcrk Telekom attach importance to undertake investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy in order to use natural resources efficiently, to extend the use of renewables, and to minimize adverse impacts on nature.\nBy using solar and wind energy, the company is able to make carbon savings. In order to boost energy efficiency and reliability, the company replaces less efficient DC energy equipment with high efficiency models. Similarly, with central transformation/FiberkenTT project, central with low energy efficiency are replaced with next-generation centrals and outdoor equipment with high-energy efficiency.\nT\u00fcrk Telekom reduces carbon emissions by replacing air conditioners in system rooms with next generation Free-Cooling air conditioning units with low energy consumption. The Smart Metering Project enables the Company to monitor energy consumption in detail, and when necessary, in real time. In addition, services formerly running on older generation systems unavailable for technical support and maintenance were transferred onto next-generation transmission systems. The results of this modification were improvements at the maintenance facility, energy savings, hall upgrades and increased service quality.\nAs a leading ICT company, T\u00fcrk Telekom provides products and services which support the low-carbon economy, by spending efforts on decreasing its GHG emissions, as well as supporting different sectors with low-carbon product and service solutions. GHG management and combating climate change is one of the major issues for the company and those are already embedded into the company's overall strategy.\nT\u00fcrk Telekom became the first Turkish telecommunication company to report to CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) in 2010. In 2011, T\u00fcrk Telekom was awarded as one of the two best reporting companies in terms of methodology and transparency, among the companies that made CDP reporting within BIST100, while in 2012, T\u00fcrk Telekom was among the top 5 companies in this issue.\nAs T\u00fcrk Telekom, in 2016, we began to disclose to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), which reflects our ability to combat climate change, which we had halted during to structural changes and corporate mergers. Our goal at this stage as Turkey\u2019s leading technology and communication company is to be an example in our own sector, and a facilitator to other sectors in combatting climate change.\n\u201cIn our 2016 disclosure to the CDP, we reduced our carbon emissions by 16% when compared with the base year of 2015 with efficiency and reduction projects that we implemented. Likewise, our total carbon emissions in Scope 1 and 2 have declined by 6.5% compared to the base year of 2015.\u201d\nWe are trying to improve our climate change performance each year in parallel with the new economic order to be established by the Paris Treaty and with the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. For each million TL added, carbon emissions was 44 tons and we have the goal to reduce this amount every year.\nWithin the scope of the CDP, we share Scope 1-2 and 3 emissions with our investors.\nIn the context of sustainability in offices, building/hall optimization projects provide significant savings in space savings and consequently in energy consumption for cooling. In addition, with the use of energy saving bulbs, heat insulation and jacketing, public transportation, building automation, an environmentally friendly vehicle fleet, paper recycling, electronic document and documentation system (EDITT), central printing systems, e-learning, telepresence and video conference usage, recycling, savings and reducing carbon emissions are ensured.\nT\u00fcrk Telekom is taking various steps not only to control its own activities but also to raise awareness. The implementation of e-billing within the scope of environmental products also offers the benefit of a reduction in customer carbon footprint.\nDX Air Conditioning Transformation project: Air conditioning systems have been replaced with new generation energy efficient conditioning systems. As a result of this transformation, operation costs and energy consumption levels have decreased.\nT\u00fcrk Telekom is running efficiency and reduction activities and investing in newer technologies which could enable reduction in GHG emissions due to our operations.\nT\u00fcrk Telekom Technology Center and T\u00fcrk Telekom Esentepe Campus received the \"LEED Gold Certificate\".\nLEED (Leadership in Energy and Efficiency Design) is an environmentally-friendly building certificate developed by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). The LEED certification is the most preferred certification in the world and Turkey.\nToday, environmental problems such as global warming and clean water supply have become increasingly serious, and environmentally friendly/sustainable buildings have become important. Environmentally friendly buildings not only provide energy and water savings but also place great importance on the health and comfort of the residents.\nThe Leadership in Energy and Environmentally Friendly Design (LEED) certification, developed by the Green Building Council in the USA, is awarded to buildings fulfilling a number of criteria. Today, LEED is the most common, most reliable and valid \"Green Building Certificate System\" in the world. The aim is to make our world more liveable by creating green buildings and premises that respect humanity and nature.\nOur Istanbul - \u00dcmraniye Technology Center Building and Esentepe A Block were designed according to the criteria and construction applications implemented. Thus, the T\u00fcrk Telekom \u00dcmraniye Technology Center and T\u00fcrk Telekom Esentepe A Block have been awarded \"LEED GOLD Certificate\u201d, taking their place among a limited number of office projects in the world.\nSome of the sustainable strategies and solutions envisaged in the projects of T\u00fcrk Telekom Technology Center and T\u00fcrk Telekom Esentepe within the scope of LEED System are the following;\nFactors with a direct impact on human health such as monitoring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, indoor air quality, natural lighting, waste management, temperature and humidity control are taken into consideration while methods used in building constructions provide a cleaner environment for the end user. In addition to energy and water savings, contribution has been made to the health and comfort of our staff.\nSustainable Land and Location\nA reduction in the heat island effect has been intended by choosing light coloured roofing materials for the T\u00fcrk Telekom Technology Center and T\u00fcrk Telekom Esentepe and Gayrettepe buildings.\nOur buildings are located in a position with a high concentration of social facilities within walking distance in the vicinity.\nA sufficient amount of safe bike parks have been created for the building users, thus supporting the use of alternative transportation and the use of individual vehicles was reduced, and sports facilities have been established.\nThe water used in the building is efficient and comfortable, and high-tech water faucets provide water efficiency at international standards without sacrificing user comfort.\nThe building has achieved a reduction in water consumption of over 40% as a result of the efficient water faucets in use.\nEnergy efficiency has been prioritised in all service systems used within the scope of the project. Without sacrificing comfort, the most savings can be made with energy efficient lighting fixtures, efficient heating, cooling devices.\nThe lighting fixtures in the project have been designed to provide over 90% more sunlight than the installed power and operate with presence sensors.\nWithin the scope of the project, environmentally friendly refrigerants which do not damage the ozone layer have been preferred in the cooling systems.\nFor all building materials used in the building, those with sustainable and environmentally friendly properties have been preferred.\nIn the project, recycling points per floor have been created.\nAt least 50% by weight of waste materials occurring during construction have been reused or sent to recycling.\nWithin the scope of the project, materials with more than 10% recycled content were used.\nDuring the building's construction, local materials that have positive characteristics in terms of cost, transportation and environmentalism were used at a rate of over 20%.\nInterior Quality and User Comfort\nIn this context, building chemicals (paint, primer, adhesive, putty etc.) to be used in the building were selected from those with VOC (volatile organic harmful compound) ratios in accordance with international limits.\nThe fresh air rates given in the buildings have been kept above the ASHRAE 62.1 standard, with the building users expected to live in a healthy and comfortable environment.\nEmphasis is placed on individual control in heating and lighting systems, aiming to increase both energy savings and interior life quality.\nWhen the interior design of the building is made, care has been taken for residents of the building to be able to easily see the outside from where they are located.\nIn our company, the provision of ground impermeability, grills for water drainage, interception channels and similar collection systems for the prevention of pollution that may arise from contact of hazardous and non-hazardous waste is mandatory.\nIt is forbidden to directly or indirectly emit, store, move, remove all waste and surplus and carry out similar activities in a manner contrary to the standards and methods determined in the related regulations in such a way as to cause harm to the environment.\nOther activities of our company related to waste management includes taking of necessary precautions in its activities to minimize the production of waste and sorting of waste at its source.",

        "raw_content": "\"A tough road, but I never saw him complain.\"\nMartin Morris is larger than life, and he knows how tough life can be. He\u2019s lived with bikies, slept under bridges and swept floors. He became one of the top thirty life insurance salespeople in the world, earning ridiculous amounts of money. His life\u2019s now on a more conservative footing, advising businesses on how to prosper, and he\u2019s learnt that no challenge is insurmountable.\nMartin\u2019s lucky to be alive. His life started in Riverview, a tough Ipswich housing commission area, as the son of a mechanic. \u201cRiverview was the sort of suburb where you didn\u2019t hang around the parks at night. Dad was a good, hard-working Australian; a religious man who didn\u2019t drink or smoke, and with very good values.\u201d\nGood habits started early for Martin with the wise words of his father. \u201cDad had some great little wisdom tips such as \u2018Son, if you\u2019re going to do a job, do it with all your heart and mind. Even if you\u2019re sweeping the floor, sweep it with all your might.\u2019 \u2018Every job\u2019s got an importance to it,\u201d Don\u2019t ever think you\u2019re too big not to do any job.\u2019 He also used to say, \u2018Don\u2019t complain. Be thankful. Be thankful in everything.\u2019 Even working on cars with him on the weekend he\u2019d remind me, \u2018If you\u2019re going to put the spanners aside, clean them.\u2019 Go the extra mile, in other words.\u201d\nLooking back, Martin realises, \u201cHe never had anything for himself, but he never complained. He worked most nights and worked weekends. Bringing up five kids at 25 years of age. A tough road, but I never saw him complain. We would go down to the Ipswich Tivoli drive-in and park outside. We\u2019d have to work out what they were saying by lip-reading because we couldn\u2019t afford to go in. He never had a negative attitude.\u201d Martin\u2019s \u2018make the best of what you\u2019ve got and things will go from there\u2019 perspective is a direct result of his father\u2019s teachings.\nThe impetus for moving on from Riverview came when Martin was in Grade 7 and had a bad accident in the park. \u201cWe were playing football and I slid on a broken beer bottle which resulted in seven months out of school. I spent a lot of time reading those old adventure books which I just couldn\u2019t put down.\u201d He recalls having thoughts such as, \u201cThat\u2019s the life for me. I want to be an adventurer. I want to have a life that\u2019s different.\u201d\nOnce Martin returned to school he was far behind and then fell even further behind. \u201cI started skipping school, going to the back of pubs and learning how to play pool. I was around 12. I did something wrong one day and heard Dad was going to give me the whip when he got home so I decided to take off.\u201d\nMartin remembers that his siblings had \u201cthose little Commonwealth Bank savings tins. I opened them all up which gave me around $27, a fortune to me then! I left an IOU note in the can which said, \u201cI\u2019m off on an adventure. I\u2019ll pay you back one day.\u201d\nMartin befriended three indigenous Australians on the train on his way north and \u201cI went upstate with them, even living under the bridge in Townsville. The truant officers there allowed my my grandmother to convince my mother to let me stay with her for a while. By that time I\u2019d hit grade nine, I think I went to school for about twenty-three days during the whole year. I started working at the meat works. I just wanted to work, and I didn\u2019t want to go to school.\u201d\nFor a year Martin did various odd jobs and eventually joined a group of \u201cfriendly\u201d characters. \u201cThey were probably what most people call a bikie gang. They had big beards, weighed around 20 stone, and had long hair. I\u2019d hang around the pubs. I was good at playing pool and playing cards, so they just sort of adopted me as I was still a young kid. I felt very secure, they were tough but they really looked after each other.\u201d\nMartin was getting lessons in how to be a rebel: \u201cYou didn\u2019t get a license in those days, didn\u2019t bother with registration. I saved up for a bike, did a little bit of concrete work here and there and I was appointed into the gang when I turned 17. I had to get the tattoo, and I had a really good time for a couple of years. I was just so free for the first time. We were adventurers no rules, no regulations.\u201d\nFrom this, Martin learned \u201cif you respect people for who they are and just let them be who they are, you can have a friend in anybody. They don\u2019t have to be like you, they don\u2019t have to be exactly in your mould. I also learned how to relate to people, and I became good at using words to defend myself.\u201d\nWhere did Martin\u2019s business career start? \u201cMy first business was called M&M Concreting. I was still into the bikes, but I\u2019d been thinking I needed to do something with my life. A mate called Mickey and I knew a bit about concreting, so we said let\u2019s call ourselves \u2018M&M Concreting Service.\u2019 We started a little business and got a lot of good jobs, but we made so many mistakes. He went back to Perth when his dad died.\u201d\nOne of Martin\u2019s friends had a terrible death in a bike smash, which Martin witnessed. \u201cI was violently ill for a number of days and it made me think, \u2018I\u2019ve got to get out of this.\u2019 It was an instant decision to change, to find something else to do\u201d.\nMartin got off his bike, and rang his father saying \u201cI want to come home, and change my life.\u201d His father\u2019s response was \u2018You\u2019re a bum. I don\u2019t want anything to do with you\u2019. Martin recalls, \u201cI was 19. I had long hair and tattoos. I didn\u2019t really know how to speak, how to eat or how to sleep in a bed. I lived the opposite life to all those traditional things most kids grow up with. Dad just didn\u2019t want my type of person in his home\u201d.\nThree months later, Martin\u2019s father had relented and allowed him to return home. \u201cDad said I could come home, but there were all these conditions. It took me about six months to readjust, but he could see I was changing. I knocked on 46 doors trying to get a sales job. That\u2019s where I learnt the next major lesson in my life; persistence. If you keep on it, you\u2019ll eventually get a yes \u2013 it\u2019s just pure numbers.\u201d\nEventually Martin met Shaun McCarthy who was in sales with a large land development company. \u201cHe said \u2018If you do everything I say, I\u2019ll train you\u2019. I was so hungry, I did the training; how to present, how to make a phone call, and I became the top five salesperson in the company, because I just followed his instructions exactly. I respected him very much\u201d.\nThe family\u2019s insurance agent then mentioned that Legal and General Life Australia was looking for cadets. \u201cI applied and got the job. I asked the manager who interviewed me, \u2018Why did you give me a go?\u2019 His reply was that he\u2019d, \u2018seen something in your eye I hadn\u2019t seen ever in my life \u2013 you were hungry.\u2019 And I was.\u201d\nThis was the start of real change in Martin\u2019s life. \u201cI learned how to comb my hair differently, and to wear fake glasses and pinstripe suits. I started to change my voice, losing the \u201cocker\u201d accent, and I stopped swearing.\u201d\nMartin\u2019s delighted to acknowledge that \u201cI was encouraged by everybody, and was the last one in the office every night. I really worked hard, and I received my education; in investment advisory, financial planning, stock broking and general insurance. At 30, I was in the top 30 salespeople in the world for insurance, making a million dollars personal commission a year, and I was the managing partner of the third largest financial planning practice in Australia. I was very honoured.\u201d\nDuring his journey to success, Martin credits conversations and meetings with many mentors, \u201cbecause I was always hungry, and I was always respectful of any person I felt I could learn from\u201d. He adds \u201cI owe a great deal to Pamela Cox, a wonderful woman who was a highly respected senior agent at Legal and General in Brisbane. She taught me social graces and introduced me to senators and other influential people. We partnered together to form the Morris Cox group.\u201d\nHow does Martin stay motivated? \u201cI developed a system through a colleague called the \u201820-points system.\u2019 It\u2019s a self-motivating tool to check in and reward yourself. In other words, stop beating yourself up. The self-motivating tool said, \u2018if you do the right activity enough, over and over and over again, you have to win.\u2019 It\u2019s the law. You plant enough seed, something\u2019s got to sprout.\u201d\nFor Martin, \u201cIt\u2019s not learning from being educated, it\u2019s learning from the doing. I read that in a great book called, \u2018The Success System That Never Fails\u2019 by W. Clement Stone. He was a young insurance salesman and ended up being worth billions.\u201d\nHaving reached that peak, Martin retired at 30 and spent a couple of years on sabbatical. Martin then met another mentor and great salesman, Dan Cavalli. Martin recalls Dan was very tough on him; teaching how to learn more from books, applying them into everyday life. \u201cDan taught me about the science of business, the maths which makes successful numbers for growth. Over the next 5 years we went on to grow a $180 million business in telecommunications with 2000 sales reps and listed on the ASX.\nA couple of years later Martin retired again to the Gold Coast, and started doing pro bono work, giving talks to youth and church groups and other associations. At that time, he discovered the fiscal problem in households was devastating. \u201cThey had credit cards, they had mortgages. They were spending more than they earned. I\u2019ve been taught by a number of mentors how to earn a dollar, but also to save some. You spend less than you earn. I saw a lot of greed.\u201d\nHaving had a break from work, \u201cI felt I had another run in me, to actually go back and do something that\u2019s actually going to help the public. That was the first desire. Secondly, I wanted to build an organisation which would actually teach staff that they could be financial independent in five to ten years. I could also grow the company so that they could get a piece of the farm, to help them. They could take ownership and responsibility for the philosophy, not just be an employee coming to work. And I wanted to do a lot more giving.\u201d\nThis was starting a business from a completely different foundation. \u201cMost people are building businesses to make money. I didn\u2019t want to do that. My estate\u2019s looked after. Don\u2019t work for money; plant a seed and let it grow. One seed can become a whole harvest.\u201d\nMartin\u2019s view was that \u201cA man free of financial worries is free to follow his passion. I start learning different laws and wisdom from millionaires. And, the good news is that the law of money works for everybody. It has nothing to do with race or religion. Clients started reacting to this information, and we started attracting people. Almost everyone in this company were all clients who wanted to join the group. We haven\u2019t had to recruit, because we\u2019re working with them on changing their lives\u201d.\nMM International then began, based on the concept that \u201cyou could come under one roof and have four or five people work with you on one file. So instead of speaking to four or five people in different locations, you can come to one place, and we all work for you. Let\u2019s empower and encourage the client. Whatever they want done, let\u2019s help them get it. So they can go to one shop, they don\u2019t have to go to five or six.\u201d\nFateful meetings then occurred. Firstly, \u201cI met Annette Bedford, who is an accountant, and she had the same passions as I had, about not just being an accountant, but actually helping. Because of the costs of doing business, you can\u2019t generally sit down and have a chat with somebody for two hours about your goals, your dreams and where you want to go. She\u2019d always wanted to be able to do that. And she always wanted to work with kids like I did. So she loved what I did.\u201d\nAt the same time, Martin met Joanne Brooks who had a passion about learning and education. \u201cSo, all that like-mindedness of experienced people came together, with 30 years in accounting education, working peoples\u2019 finances and networking businesses. I knew if we could serve the client over a period of ten years, you\u2019d make your money. This year we might make a loss, but later on you make a profit.\n\u201cThe key is to be taking interest in the client first. It\u2019s not always about billing, it\u2019s not always about making a dollar. \u2018What\u2019s the best thing to do by the client?\u2019 is the question to always ask,\u201d Martin adds.\nIn order to achieve the essence of the culture needed, Martin comments that \u201cWe\u2019ve merged 15 different little companies under a process, and we\u2019ve now got a structure that\u2019s a public entity. We have shareholders, because we wanted everyone to be shareholders of the company. They\u2019re excited because they have ownership, so we\u2019re empowering people here, and they\u2019re empowering clients\u201d.\nWhat\u2019s Martin\u2019s definition of success? \u201cIt\u2019s not comparison and it\u2019s not a mandate of money. It\u2019s whether you\u2019re achieving the personal goals you set yourself in your life plan. I think every man\u2019s success has to be a personal thing. It\u2019s inside, in the heart, because what do you compare? A bigger car? A bigger house? For me, it\u2019s seeing the people here grow, seeing them learning how to get rid of their debt, get rid of their mortgage, and be free. When I hear those stories, I hear they\u2019ve got better relationships, because what they do around here is a reflection of home and work together. That fires me up.\u201d\nMartin is confident around the idea that \u201cIn the next three years there will be multi-millionaires in this company because we\u2019ve got a great leadership program. We\u2019ve got a career plan which means we\u2019ll give away more of the pie, but the pie\u2019s bigger. So, would you want 10% of a $1 billion company, or 100% of a $1 million company? I enjoy that part of my life. I enjoy knowing that we\u2019ve got a great foundation set up.\u201d\nMartin is passionate about empowering the entire nation using these principles. \u201cThis country needs to get back to basics. Business people need to actually start doing what we\u2019re asking the government to do; save and get out of debt. Start putting back into our economy, capitalising it, employing people, and starting to take the risk. More importantly, we need a government which stops spending the money. If this government saved 10% of everything they earned in the last 20 years, we\u2019d have $1.7 trillion in the bank right now, and we\u2019d have no debt. If a $2 million small business can do that over 10 years, they\u2019ll have $2 million in their bank account. Can you imagine the average small business, with $2 million in the bank?\u201d\nIn summary Martin feels he \u201cstuck to very simple basics. I learnt that from another great mentor when I went to America. When I was 24, I was invited to attend the Million Dollar Roundtable, which is the top five percent of insurance consultants in the world. I met some wonderful people there whose advice was to always stick to the basics. These were: to keep things simple; don\u2019t get complex when you\u2019re talking about people\u2019s money. Always find a need.\u201d\nMartin\u2019s final and most pivotal basic was that you can change. \u201cWhen you\u2019re born an elephant, you\u2019re an elephant. If you\u2019re born a monkey, you\u2019re a monkey. As a human being, you can become what you want to become \u2013 you can change, internally and externally. When I got that, I thought, \u2018I don\u2019t have to worry about my past, I can develop my future.\u2019 And that\u2019s when it really started to click. I didn\u2019t have to worry about who I was from the perception of others, such as school or industry peers. I could develop who and what I needed to be.\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s not learning from being educated, it\u2019s learning from the doing.\u201d\n\u201cWe were adventurers; no rules, no regulations.\u201d\n\u201cThe key is to be taking interest in the client first. It\u2019s not always about billing, it\u2019s not always about making a dollar. It\u2019s always: \u201cWhat\u2019s the best thing to do by the client?\u201d\n\u201cAt 30, I was in the top 30 salespeople in the world for insurance, making a million dollars personal commission a year.\u201d\nSuite 1, 54-56 Nerang St, Nerang Qld 4211\nEntamico Limited, MM International",

        "raw_content": "Jules Lobel from the University of Pittsburgh\u2019s School of Law writes a longform article: Conflicts between the Commander in Chief and Congress: Concurrent Power Over the Conduct of War.\nThe Bush Administration argues that the Commander in Chief has exclusive power to decide what military tactics to use to defeat a wartime enemy. The Administration\u2019s constitutional position that Congress may not permissibly interfere with these Executive Commander in Chief powers has been heavily criticized, particularly with respect to the Executive power to interrogate prisoners or engage in warrantless wiretapping on American citizens and its argument that Congress cannot limit the Iraq war. Yet, many critics concur in the Administration\u2019s starting point \u2013 that the President has exclusive authority over battlefield operations.\nThis article challenges that assumption. It argues that Congress and the President have concurrent power to conduct warfare that has been authorized by Congress, with Congress maintaining the ultimate authority to decide the methods, strategies and tactics by which the United States will wage war, if it chooses to exercise that authority. The President can direct and manage military campaigns in the absence of congressional regulation and restrictions, but the only Commander in Chief power that Congress cannot override is the President\u2019s power to command, to be, in Alexander Hamilton\u2019s words, the nation\u2019s \u201cfirst general and Admiral.\u201d The understanding of concurrent power set forth in this article argues that the two branches power over the conduct of authorized warfare is divided as a practical matter by timing, not subject matter, with the President having the power of initiative over the theatre of war, and Congress having a more deliberative, reflective power, allowing it to check and limit Executive initiative both before and after the Executive acts.\nThe article is available for download to PDF here.",

Together with our patients we develop a custom tailored plan to fit each patients needs. We, Dr. Gottfried and Dr. Mann, have committed a significant amount of time and money to taking much more than the minimum required amount of Continuing Education each year so that we stay current on the cutting edge of technology in dentistry and grow a deeper understanding of our profession to better serve our patients. Our practice is special in that we accept patients from all walks in life. We strive to treat every person who walks into our door with the same warm friendliness and professional care we are known for regardless of who they are and what type of care they are seeking. We have the ability to provide our patients with all the latest and greatest in dentistry like Cerec crowns, Lumineers, Invisilign, Six Month Smiles, Laser Dentistry, Mini Implants, Snap on Smiles and more\u2026but we have found that they are not particularly the answer for every case every time. We have teamed up with our hygiene staff to provide our patients with top notch preventative care, focusing on training our patients how to care for their teeth and giving them the skill set and tools to prevent dental disease. We do a considerable amount of cosmetics in our practice, but we practice what we like to call \u201cCosmetics with a Conscience.\u201d While we provide all cosmetic services needed and requested, we have a particular interest in being conservative in our techniques. Often cosmetic goals can be achieved without damaging the natural tooth with a bur. Whenever this is possible, we believe that this has the least amount of negative impact on the health of the teeth. Some examples of treatments that can help you achieve your cosmetic goals but are considered minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry are whitening, orthodontics, and direct bonding. Contact our office to begin a conversation about your dental care.",

        "raw_content": "Egg allergies can affect anyone, but it is more common in young children. Often children will grow out of their egg allergy with age, but sometimes it will stay for life. Reactions to egg can be very severe, but everyone differs with what form of egg they are allergic to. Some are allergic to egg in any form and even a tiny amount of well cooked egg will cause an allergic reaction. Others can eat egg if it is well cooked, such as in cakes or biscuits, but not if it is loosely cooked, such as scrambled egg. If you suspect that your child has an egg allergy, then you must get them tested by a doctor so you know exactly what you are dealing with. There are many surprising foods that contain egg, but luckily for egg allergy sufferers food labelling has to list egg as an allergen if a product contains it, no matter how small the amount.\nOur Ginger Biscuits with dark chocolate are egg free\nAs long as you know what to look out for, egg can easily be avoided. This is especially useful for children as you don't want them to think that they are missing out on things that their friends can have. If you like to do a lot of baking, find out about whole egg replacers. Although they have no nutritional value you can use them to cook with so you can still make all the delicious treats for your family. You can also buy egg white replacers from pharmacies and health food shops that you can use if a recipe calls for just egg whites.\nFinding out that your child is allergic to egg will plunge you into a world of food labels and looking at the clues, such a shiny glaze, that indicate egg has been used. You will be amazed at just how much egg is used in food manufacturing. But you will soon get the hang of it. Continuing to have your child's allergy tested will keep you up-to-date with how careful you need to be. If it is you that has the allergy then you will soon develop a sixth sense for what has egg and what does not.\nWe specialise in baking for people with food allergies, as we believe that everyone deserves a treat from time to time. We also clearly list whether or not a product contains egg in our shop, so you can be sure that what you are eating is safe. For an extra special treat, why not try our Ginger Biscuits with Dark Chocolate? It is perfect any time of year and packed with plenty of flavour. It is completely egg free, so you don't have to worry about getting ill.",

There are so many things that can cause a fire and this means that it will be a risk that can happen anywhere any time. The more the causes of something like a fire accident, the more the chances of the said accident happening. Electrical issues are among the causes and since electricity is something that everyone everywhere is using, fire is something that should be prevented at all cost. If you take the fire case for instance, you will note that most of the things that we can do are precautionary measures meaning that there is no guarantee that the accidents will not happen. We also know that there is nothing that is quite as dangerous as fire. This is one of the most terrible thing that can happen and this is among the reasons why the fire equipment are really vital.\nChoosing the right company to get the fire equipment from and the services too will not be a walk in the park especially because there are so many out there to choose from. There are those ones that we can all agree that they are the best in terms of quality however and those are the ones that you should be looking for.\nThose that have the best of the training ad enough experience in the services, the repair, maintenance and the installation of the equipment are the ones that will give the best of the said services. At MgFire fire equipment, you will get the experience and the expertise from people that have been doing this for so long meaning that they know exactly what you need. They have a variety of the fire extinguisher, sprinklers and the stand pipe systems, fire doors, suppression systems, emergency lights, the hydrants and many more.\nThere is a chance that you might be needing some little more convincing on why you should chose the MgFire Califorina especially if this is the first time that you are dealing with them. People that have been there are among the many sources of information mainly on the quality. The online reviews has all this information and more and that means that you should check it out. Quality is very important here because it will determine how effectively the equipment perform. The choice that you make will determine the services, the products and most importantly the quality that you get and that is why you should choose wisely.\nNews For This Month: Dolphins",

Therefore, please let your child know the time you will arrive so that the appointments can be made. Please remember, if you will be attending without your son/daughter, it is important that you bring a list of their teachers to school with you.\nI look forward to seeing you on Wednesday 11th February 2015.\nMs L Glampson",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home \u203a People \u203a Sri Aurobindo\nView: Biography of Sri Aurobindo\nSri Aurobindo, Indian nationalist, poet, philosopher and spiritual Guru was born in Calcutta on 15th August 1872.\nSri Aurobindo spent his formative years in England studying at St Paul\u2019s and Trinity College where he excelled in the study of Literature and the Classics. In 1892 he returned to India where he became heavily involved in the Indian independence movement. He was a natural leader and one of the most radical nationalist politicians. Because of his radicalism, in 1908, Sri Aurobindo was arrested on suspicion of being involved in a bomb plot and was remanded in Alipore jail. It was here in jail that Sri Aurobindo had significant spiritual experiences; he became aware of a divine inner guidance and also realised the omnipresence of God even in a darkened prison cell.\nDue to the commitment of Sri Aurobindo\u2019s lawyer C.R.Das, Sri Aurobindo was released without charge. However this experience changed Sri Aurobindo\u2019s outlook. Henceforth he retired from politics and focused his energies on spirituality.\nSri Aurobindo travelled to Pondicherry, South India where he could practise yoga undisturbed. In 1914 he was later joined by a French woman, Mira Richards who would later became known as the Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Together they founded the Sri Aurobindo ashram, which began to attract disciples attracted to their dynamic reinterpretation of yoga.\nAs well as being a spiritual Guru to many disciples, Sri Aurobindo was a noted poet, philosopher and writer. His main works were The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga, Essays on the Gita and Savitri. Savitri was an epic work of poetry that he worked on for over 20 years.\nSri Aurobindo did not negate the world like Indian yogis of the past. Instead Sri Aurobindo affirmed that all life is Yoga; through a conscious aspiration it is possible for man to evolve into a higher consciousness\u2019 a consciousness of truth and inner harmony. Sri Aurobindo called this new consciousness the Supramental.\n\u201cArise, transcend Thyself,\nThou art man and the whole nature of man\nIs to become more than himself.\u201d\nA significant event occurred in 1947 when India attained full independence. This was a goal Sri Aurobindo had continued to aspire for, despite his retreat from politics. Independence was also achieved on his birthday 15th August. His speech about this momentous occasion can be viewed here: Indian Independence.\nFor over 40 years, Sri Aurobindo worked tirelessly for his vision of a divine life on earth.

        "raw_content": "Local Lib Dems are delighted that there is now an opportunity to open up Wokingham Borough Council\u2019s decision making process so that all councillors might in future have more involvement in decisions.\nLeader of the local Lib Dems, Prue Bray, proposed that the Council look at how it might change its decision-making process, and this was supported by the Conservatives. If the review agrees that a committee based system could replace the current 10-member Executive, then all 54 councillors would become more involved.\nCllr Prue Bray said \u201cThis is a great opportunity to make sure that residents\u2019 views from across the Borough are better represented when the Council makes decisions. If this had been in place, then some past poor decisions such as the green waste scheme and closing public toilets might have been different. I am glad there was cross-party support for this Lib Dem suggestion. The Council has now committed to look at this, and I am looking forward to working with all political groups to deliver the best system possible for residents. Anything that improves local democracy and gets more people involved is a good thing for Wokingham Borough.\u201d\n1/ The Labour government forced councils to bring in an Executive and Scrutiny system to replace the previous committees. This was changed by the localism act and councils are now free to chose how they want to set up their decision making process.\n2/ Councils which have already moved back to the committee system include Sutton, Notts County Council and South Gloucestershire.\n3/ Some small district councils were exempt from the Executive system and have retained committees.\n4/ At the council meeting on 19th July, Cllr Prue Bray proposed the motion: \u201cUnder the Localism Act 2011, local authorities gained the freedom to determine for themselves whether to operate an executive system, a committee system, or other agreed governance arrangements. This Council wishes to consider what the most appropriate governance system is for Wokingham, and therefore refers this matter for investigation to the Overview & Scrutiny Management Committee to determine who manages the investigation, with a report on options for changing Wokingham\u2019s existing governance arrangements to be received and debated at a future meeting of the full Council.\u201d\nAt the Council meeting on 19th July, the Conservatives painted a rose tinted picture of the waste collection service. The Lib Dems know that in fact there are a lot of people out there who are still not happy with it. But yet again the Conservatives rejected a Lib Dem request to rethink the green waste charges.\nThe Lib Dems also know that there are a lot of community minded people who help their neighbours with their gardens and collect leaves from council owned trees. Cllr Beth Rowland said, \u201cUnder the current scheme these people have to pay the full rates for bags and bins. It doesn\u2019t seem right that people should be made to pay for being community minded. But last night the Conservatives refused to consider any concessions for them. The Lib Dems are listening to local residents and will continue to push for the changes to the Green Waste Scheme that residents are asking for.\u201d\nAt the council meeting, Cllr Prue Bray asked: \u201cIn January the Conservatives rejected a Lib Dem motion asking you to rethink the green waste scheme. Will you now listen to residents who are saying the green waste scheme is too expensive and is unfair to those on low incomes and agree to a rethink?\u201d\nAlso at the council meeting, Cllr Beth Rowland asked: \u201cWill you extend the Adopt a Street/Green Space litter policy so that residents who collect green waste such as leaves from council-owned trees or who help elderly neighbours with garden maintenance can be provided with additional bins or bags? \u201c",

        "raw_content": "Tuul et Bruno Morandi\nGreat fans of Asia, the photographers never tire of exploring the natural treasures found on this continent. Their favourite countries remain Nepal, where Bruno Morandi speaks the language, and Mongolia, where Tuul is from and where she likes to roam across the immense steppe. The reports that they produce are not however only invitations to travel, they also encourage us to meditate on the fragile beauty of our environment, whether it be human, natural or cultural. Colour dominates and the artists take great pride in using it as a vital element of their images. Harmony and colour contrasts effectively enable the forms to be revealed and accentuate the depth of the landscape. \"Morning in Bagan\"\u009d, produced in 2013, reveals the site of Bagan in Myanmar (ex-Burma) classified as Unesco World Heritage. Hundreds of temples are dispersed over a plain with sparse vegetation and the overall scene is wreathed in the golden glow of dawn.\nAt the outset of this story, there was a shared love of travel. A call to adventure for one, an escape for the other. After growing up on the Mongolian steppes, Tuul moved to Paris in 2000 to start university studies in culture. She thus discovered photography and decided to make it her career. Her nomadic origins led her to choose reporting. As for Bruno Morandi, he was destined for a more peaceful life. The son of a Norman mother and a Tuscan father, he spent every summer of his childhood in Italy. After making a brilliant start to his architectural studies, he left for Nepal for two months at the age of 18 and became a guide for Nouvelles Fronti\u00c3\u00a8res. A professional photographer from 1990 onwards, he works with the international press (National Geographic US, Figaro Magazine, G\u00c3\u00a9o France and Germany, Grands Reportages). His images were selected by the HSBC and BNP Paribas banks for their advertising campaigns and have also been the subject of dozens of books, including \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nepal: Colour and Light\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (2001), \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Eternal Tuscany\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (2002) and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Impressions of Rajasthan\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (2003).",

Lenhoff, Gore Professor of Chemical Engineering in UD\u2019s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.\nMembrane proteins, which represent more than 30 percent of the human genome, are of great interest in understanding and treating disease. Despite recent advances in protein characterization, challenges remain in expressing membrane proteins in significant quantities, in isolating and purifying them, and in crystallizing them.\nEight experts, including keynote speaker Marius Lemberg, shared their latest research findings on the organization and behavior of membrane proteins.\nLemberg, a professor at the University of Heidelberg, discussed his work on intramembrane proteolysis, an important control mechanism in all kingdoms of life from bacteria to humans. Intramembrane proteases have also been linked to viral infections and to diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s.\nDespite a few well-studied examples, very little is known about most of the 13 intramembrane proteases known in humans. Lemberg\u2019s research focuses on elucidating the function of these proteases in physiological processes using approaches ranging from biochemistry and cell biology to bioinformatics.\nIn addition to technical talks, the program featured more than 30 posters by researchers from UD, the University of Maryland, Lehigh University, Johns Hopkins University, Temple University, NIH, and the NIST Center for Neutron Research.\nThe symposium was organized by Sharon Rozovsky, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and Edward Lyman, assistant professor of physics and astronomy.\nAbout COBRE\nThe Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Membrane Protein Production and Characterization at the University of Delaware was established in 2000 with generous support under the COBRE program within the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Additional support was provided by the Delaware Biotechnology Institute (DBI).\nIn its original form, the COBRE supported research covering a broad range of activities in structural and functional genomics, but the present focus on membrane protein production and characterization was adopted following renewal of the program in 2005.\nThe program was renewed again as a Phase III center in 2010; within this structure, it is primarily an infrastructure center that provides direct support for shared core facilities and pilot projects, but the participating investigators involved in the center have independent support for their membrane protein research that draws on center resources and contributes to the overall research progress in the center.\nPhotos by Doug Baker",

Seeking a solution to drug epidemics?\nNope, he's tearing into Taylor Swift, who finally declared she's supporting a pair of Democratic candidates as part of the upcoming Tennessee midterm elections.\nSwift, who stunned fans Sunday (October 7) when she \u2014 for the very first time \u2014 declared she was leaning blue (at least this time around...), received mounds of support and equal criticism from followers. What she probably didn't expect, though, was that the president \u2014 who, himself, has roots in celebrity \u2014 would mock her for being clueless about Republican candidate Marsha Blackburn exclusively because Swift is famous.\n\u201cI\u2019m sure Taylor Swift doesn\u2019t know anything about [Blackburn]. Let's say that I like Taylor\u2019s music about 25 percent less now,\" Trump told a reporter Monday night (October 8).\nAnd Twitter users very quickly told The Donald to take several seats.\n\"Taylor is gonna end him. i\u2019m not fan of taylor but bitch wtf i stan her rn,\" one wrote, while another noted \"I\u2019m sure she doesn\u2019t care about you and if you like her music or not either. And I\u2019m sure she knows herself more than you know how to run a country.\"\nIn a lengthy Instagram post earlier this week, Swift \u2014 who admitted to previous misgivings over declaring her political allegiances \u2014 said she couldn't stand back and watch Republican candidates like Blackburn seek to disenfranchise marginalized groups. Finally, she said, she was ready to fight for equality.\n\"I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love,\" she wrote. \"Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry.

        "title": "The Regal Rottweiler",
        "raw_content": "The Regal Rottweiler\nThe regal Rottweiler, presenting a look of nobility, is known as the world\u2019s best guard dog. He is one of the most misunderstood breeds in the world and much of what is heard about him is just plain fiction, fueled by fear. This pedigree has gained a bad reputation due to the stereo-type \u201cguard dog\u201d portrayals in the movies and on TV and also because some people have trained them to be hostile. The perception that many people have of him isn\u2019t even remotely close to reality. Unfortunately, attacks by Rottweilers can and do happen...just as with any other breed. But his size, power and strength usually make them devastating. The news media many times will also greatly distort the facts of an attack to gain ratings. Any bad Rottweiler traits are normally due to a lack of training or abuse by a bad owner, not due to flaws in his personality.\nThe Rottweiler\u2019s temperament is not that of an aggressive, vicious dog that many people mistakenly believe. Instead he is an instinctive guardian who is highly intelligent, loyal, self-confident, calm, courageous, independent, devoted and protective. He craves attention, positive reinforcement and has a strong desire to please his master. Considered to be a working dog, he is task-oriented and happiest when he has a job to do. He makes a great service dog and many work as police, search and rescue, customs, guide or therapy dogs. He tends to be cautious, watchful and aloof with strangers until he's properly introduced to them. He's tough, strong, powerful and possesses a lot of endurance and stamina. Territorial, fiercely loyal and protective of his home and family, he will do whatever it takes to defend his loved ones. He\u2019s an incredibly gentle dog that thrives on companionship and wants to be around people always. He is excellent with children as long as he has been properly socialized from a young age and he tends to sometimes bond more with one particular family member than with others.\nThe Rottweiler is said to be the most intelligent and easiest to train of all dog breeds. Because he is so extremely task-oriented he needs lots of mental stimulation, as he bores easily. He learns new commands quicker than any other breed, which makes him very easy to work with and he can be quite an entertaining clown around his family. While he is the ultimate guard dog, he is not necessarily the best watch dog because he may not bark much. As he encounters new situations he will quietly observe and analyze acting like a chameleon, changing his temperament depending on what the situation calls for. Many times he will \u201ctalk\u201d in a low, grumbling sound to the capture attention of his audience. His tendency to lean against people goes back to the days when they were cattle drovers and used to lean against the cattle to get them to move in a particular direction.\nThe ancestors of the Rottweiler originated from the ancient Roman drover dogs, which were Mastiff-type working dogs that traveled with the Romans beginning with the invasion of Germany and as they continued to conquer Europe. The breed we know today was developed in a southern region of Germany in a city called Rottweil, which was built on the site of the Roman baths. Red tiles that were excavated there gave the town its name \"das Rot Wil\" which translats to \"the red tile\". Rottweil became a prosperous marketplace and culteral center of its time attracting farmers, cattlemen and other traders from considerable distances to do business there.\nThe Rottweiler was soon turned into a working dog, used also for droving cattle and protecting people and their property. The locals began aggressively breeding them purely for performance and usefulness since few highwaymen dared to challenge the strong and courageous Rott. The men began using the dogs not only in bringing in their stock safely but also making the return trip with them to protect their money bags, which they fastened to the collars of the Rottweiler. Between the 12th and 19th centuries the breed was known as \u201cMetzgerhund\u201d or \u201cButcher\u2019s Dog\u201d as he was used to protect the butcher\u2019s money on trips to and from the markets and the bank.\nThe breed played an extremely important role during Roman times, accompanying the traveling legions of soldiers across the Alps while helping them to drive and protect the cattle and also to perform mountain rescues. They were replaced by donkeys for cart pulling and them almost became extinct after the railroads were developed because they were of no further use to anyone. At one point in 1905 there was only one female Rottweiler left. It soon became evident that the breed was highly suitable for tasks set by police service and as protectors of policemen themselves.\nThey began to grow popular again and around 1910 breeding commenced. In the mid to late 1920's the first Rottwiler in the United States was imported from Germany. During both the 1st and 2nd World Wars he was used as a beast of burden for the military brigades and put into service as a wartime guard animal. In 1931 the first Rottweiler was entered into the American Kennel Club (AKC) stud book.\nMany people today think of the Rottweiler as a \u201cgiant breed\u201d and some breeders strive to breed extra large dogs. However, the Breed Standard describes him as being a medium to large-sized dog. German Rottweilers are actually shorter and more muscular than American ones and seem to be more robust and agile than the larger ones. The weight typically should fall between 75 and 130 pounds. He's one of the top 20 most popular dog breeds in the United States. 1992 was the peak of Rottweiler popularity in the United States with over 70,000 registered with the AKC, making it him the 2nd most popular breed in the country. Since then, however, the breed\u2019s popularity has been steadily on the decline because so many people have trained them to be aggressive and because of people\u2019s ignorance. Early socialization for the Rottweiler is essential as he is extremely territorial and will defend his family to the death if he senses danger. He needs firm discipline and training as a puppy and can never be allowed to dominate. But, If raised properly, he can be the best, most loyal companion any human could ever hope for. He truly is a gentle giant and a wonderful member of the family structure.",

The overuse or misuse of terms. Often used to shock or to shut down a conversation.\n\"Racist\", or \"racism\" is a term that gets a lot of over use.\nhttp://www.debate.org/opinions/do-you-b ... s-overused\nhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... ord-racist\nI was told recently that the Southern Cross signified racism. I was shocked, as I am proud to be an Australian, and I was prompted to dig a little. Seems that some Brainwashed types actually have mixed up Racisn and National Pride, and combine the two. That would make the Australian Flag a sign of racism. It would make the night sky a symbol of racism.\nI am sure there are other terms used incorrectly to promote certain agendas or to shut down sensible debate.\nRe: Use of Language\nYes, control of the language has been an ongoing tactic employed by those who rule.\nA classic example of this are the 'Never-Trumpers', Anti-Fa, etc 'protesting' everywhere. These brainwashed morons love to call anyone who disagrees with them 'Fascist'. The thing is they do so very loudly, intentionally trying to drown out alternative ideas and viewpoints to their own... the very definition of fascism.",

        "raw_content": "New Band of the Month: March \u2013 Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band\nMarch 1, 2012 March 1, 2012 lyttleton\nMy New Band for March is:\nBruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed \u201cThe Boss,\u201d is an American singer-songwriter-performer who records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen is widely known for his brand of heartland rock, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered on his native New Jersey.\nThe E Street Band has been rock musician Bruce Springsteen\u2019s primary backing band since 1972.\nMy personal history with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band:\nUh, Born In The U.S.A. Seriously, that\u2019s pretty much it. I mean, like anybody who has spent any amount of time in a bar in the last, oh, I don\u2019t know, 30 years, I\u2019ve heard my share of Bruce Springsteen. Yet, I can\u2019t really claim to know many of his songs and have never listened to him on my own. Seriously, check out my Last.fm if you don\u2019t believe me (one random play must have snuck through on their streaming radio).\nI don\u2019t know that there\u2019s any great reason for it. I was born right at the beginning of Springsteen\u2019s rise to success, but by the time I was paying attention to music on my own, it was the 90s, and 80s rock was replaced with Nirvana and sarcasm. That, of course, hasn\u2019t stopped me from becoming a later-in-life fan of other 80s stalwarts like Talking Heads or The Cure. No one in my life ever really listened to \u2018the Boss\u2019, so I never felt any inclination to care.\nWhich is why it\u2019s always sort of blown me away how absolutely beloved Springsteen is throughout the country. Obviously in New Jersey he\u2019s bigger than Jesus, but people love this dude\u2019s music all over the place, and while I can drunkenly mumble along to a few of his hits with the best of them, I have pretty much no knowledge of his vast library.\nAnd vast it is. Fugazi has a solid number of albums, but only a few that seemed \u2018vital,\u2019 and Digable Planets only produced two albums. Having a representative experience of both band\u2019s respective discography in a month was reasonable. That won\u2019t be the case with Bruce Springsteen. I\u2019ll likely focus on his most revered period, specifically Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A., but I know his fans would tell me there are a dozen other albums worth checking out (including a new one this month, I just realized; kismet).\nI fully expect my frame of reference by the end of the month to be woefully incomplete, but I\u2019m going to do my best.

        "raw_content": "An Empty Passport\nMarch 11, 2015 March 11, 2015 lyttleton 4 Comments\nYesterday, for the first time in my life, I applied for a passport.\nBefore I was born, my parents lived in Sicily and Bermuda. My father fought in Vietnam. My siblings have traveled to Jamaica, Germany and a host of other nations throughout this world. But other than a couple of family trips to Tijuana, I have never left the United States. This has always been a point of embarrassment for me.\nI have visited 40 of the 50 states, lived in 10 (plus one district) and driven across vast swaths of this nation\u2019s undeveloped land, yet I\u2019ve never even been to Canada. The world is so much bigger than the United States, so much wider than North America, and for all my travels I\u2019ve always felt exceptionally shallow in the scope of my experiences.\nIt\u2019s beyond time to change that.\nI\u2019m going to keep getting that question. It\u2019s inevitable. Every week somebody asks me what I plan to do after the end of 10 Cities / 10 Years, and then a month or so after I\u2019ve answered, \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d they ask again. I don\u2019t blame them. I\u2019m asking myself the same question.\nI know that my travels aren\u2019t done. I can be proud of what I\u2019ve accomplished (even if it\u2019s an accomplishment with no obvious results), but I\u2019m also acutely aware of how much I still have to see. For these first 6 months of my year here in Brooklyn, I was seemingly surrounded by foreign-born residents, like French, Belgium and Italian students studying abroad, or the European/African roommates I have.\nFor as much of this country that I have seen, for all the places that I have called home (and I\u2019d imagine I\u2019ve lived in more cities than 99.99% of the people who can be labeled American citizens), I can\u2019t deny that my experience of this globe has been confined to a decidedly small portion of one hemisphere.\nEven if what I\u2019ve experienced would be sufficiently diverse for the vast majority of the population, it isn\u2019t enough for me. I\u2019m not done traveling. I\u2019m not done seeing the world. I\u2019ll travel Europe next. And Asia, Africa, South America, Australia. Heck, maybe I\u2019ll lay a flag on Antarctica. And I\u2019ll get around to the other 10 states, too. Count on it.\nI\u2019m not sure what the next phase will look like.\nI don\u2019t know how I\u2019ll get to all the places I want to see. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll live long enough to see all 7 continents. I don\u2019t know what any of the future has to hold. For the first time in pretty much my entire life, I don\u2019t have even the faint outline of a plan.\nBut in a few weeks I\u2019ll hold an empty passport and I think that just might be better than any plan.\nthe Road is Life.\n10 Cities, Blog, Travel10 Cities, Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Earth, Europe, North America, South America, The United States of America, Travel, U.S. Passport, What's Next\n\u2190 \u201cThe Last 5 Percent\u201d\nLove Letters, Emails and the Impossible Task of Memory \u2192\n4 thoughts on \u201cAn Empty Passport\u201d\nthesilentcacophony says:\nYOU ARE SO INSPIRING\nWhat do you do with the relationships you\u2019ve developed in the recent years? Just leave them behind or what?\nLuckily, living in the age of technology, most friendships can be maintained to a certain degree via phone/internet. I\u2019ve gone back and seen some friends or had them visit me. Of course, there\u2019s no substitute for real world interaction, but at least they don\u2019t have to completely disappear. Romantic relationships have been harder to maintain/pursue, but that\u2019s just been the sacrifice of the project.",

        "raw_content": "Romer talks about economy bouncing back\nChristina Romer, Ph.D., the U.C. Berkeley professor who now chairs the president's Council of Economic Advisers, was in San Francisco on Monday. She talked about encouraging signs in the U.S. economy, but also the need to create more jobs.\nRomer meets with the president almost every day. Monday, however, she took a brief break from her duties in Washington and was able to share her thoughts about the encouraging and not-so encouraging signs about the economy.\n\"There is unquestionably these little shoots of green,\" says Romer.\nRomer says a question she gets asked all the time is where are the shoots of green in the U.S. economy? At the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on Monday, the chair of the president's Council of Economic Advisers pointed to several: the housing sector is stabilizing, consumer confidence is up and so are orders for durable goods. Regardless, she says all that is overshadowed by the unemployment rate.\n\"We got unemployment numbers last Friday. Right? So we lost 345,000 jobs. That's utterly horrible,\" says Romer.\nIt's about half as many jobs that were lost in January. Still, the Obama administration wants to see improvement faster. On Monday, the president announced much of the details of his stimulus package have been ironed out.\n\"Now we're in a position to really accelerate. So the goal here is that we're going to create or save 600,000 jobs over the next 100 days,\" said President Obama.\nThe so-called \"Roadmap to Recovery\" involves 10 major initiatives, including the construction or expansion of 1,129 health centers, the start-up of 200 new waste and water systems in rural America, improvements to 107 national parks, and the hiring and retention of 5,000 law enforcement officers.\n\"It was mainly designed to create jobs and to put people back to work, but we also want to do it smart. We don't just want to be spending money on things like digging ditches and filling them in. And so what the president said is if we're going to be spending this money, let's accomplish things,\" says Romer.\nNot everyone though is happy about taking the money. South Carolina's governor tried to block a portion of it until a court ruled he couldn't.\n\"If a family won the lottery, they wouldn't just go out and spend it all, they'd put some money aside for a rainy day, for paying down the credit card balance or the mortgage and I don't know why state government should be exempt from that same principle,\" says Governor Mark Sanford (R) of South Carolina.\nThe president has claimed as many as 150,000 jobs have been saved or created by his stimulus plan so far, even as government reports have shown the economy has lost more than 1.6 million jobs since Congress approved the package in February.",

        "title": "South Africa: Tsogo Sun increases stake in Hospitality Property Fund - African Business Magazine",
        "raw_content": "South Africa: Tsogo Sun increases stake in Hospitality Property Fund\nSouth African hotel and shopping mall operator Tsogo Sun has announced that it may sell up to 36 of its hotels, including Sun1 brand hotels, to the Hospitality Property Fund, in exchange for a bigger stake in the Fund.\nHospitality Property Fund is a property investment fund which invests in hotel and leisure properties. Tsogo Sun CEO Marcel von Aulock said: \u201cThe fund is paying for properties from Tsogo with a combination of new shares and debt. We will therefore increase our holding to somewhere between 55-60%.\u201d\nVon Aulock added: \u201cWe are now busy working on putting in the balance of our hotels. It should push this fund up between R10bn ($767m) and R15bn ($1.15bn) worth of assets is where we want to get to.\u201d\nTsogo sold ten hotels valued at R1.78bn ($136m) to the Fund last year in exchange for a 50.6% stake in the real estate investor, effectively diversifying its property portfolio beyond the hospitality sector. It also owns Montecasino themed shopping centre and Gold Reef theme park both located in Gauteng Province.\nThe company is keen to expand the scale of its operations in order to increase their profitability. It expects to complete two new hotels in Cape Town in September, with combined construction costs of R700m ($54m). The SunSquare Cape Town City Bowl and StayEasy Cape Town City Bowl will have more than 500 rooms and give Tsogo over 2,000 rooms in central Cape Town.\nVon Aulock said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to have the opportunity to increase our presence in one of the most vibrant cities on the continent. We believe the continued development and rejuvenation of Cape Town\u2019s city centre will cater to growing demand for hotel accommodation.\u201d\nThe move by Tsogo Sun comes at a time when hotel developments are increasing across the continent.\nBoom time for hotel investment\nThe rapid expansion in the African hotel sector shows no signs of abating with international and regional hotel chains developing around 365 new hotels with 64,231 rooms in 2016 alone, according to the Nigeria-based tourism advisory group W-Hospitality Group. This is up from 270 hotels and 49,715 rooms built in the previous year.\nThe surge in hotel development activity is significant because there were just 257,000 rooms on the continent at the end of 2016. Growing intra-African travel for both business and leisure is expected to drive further growth over the coming decade.\nTourism investment is likely to continue growing rapidly if operators target the mid-range sector. The market has traditionally been divided between small, low cost, independent hotels and big, expensive international chains.\nHowever, the number of investors focusing on the middle ground has begun to pick up. Most recently, India\u2019s Sarovar Hotels began the construction of its first ever Hometel outside India, in Nairobi.\nThe Tetezi Hometel Nairobi, which will have 80 rooms, is owned by local businessman and lawyer, John Mburu, but will carry the Hometel brand. Ajay Bakaya, Sarovar\u2019s managing director, said: \u201cHometel, our mid\u00ad-segment brand, delivers profitable hotels to owners.\n\u201cThere is a growing demand for good value for money hotels across the country and abroad. This is the largest demand segment. We aim cater to these markets with our hotels by offering best value to business and leisure travellers.\u201d\nExpected to open in 2019, the hotel will given Sarovar 800 rooms in Africa, half of which will be in Kenya, spread over eight hotels. The company announced plans for one of the eight, the Sarovar Premiere Lusaka, on 21 March.\nDeveloped in partnership with the Neelkanth Group, the luxury hotel will have 82 suites, a conference centre, swimming pool and spa. It already operates in Ethiopia, Tanzania and \u2013 perhaps surprisingly \u2013 South Sudan.\nLouvre Hotels Group, which is owned by China\u2019s Jin Jiang International Holdings, bought an undisclosed stake in Sarovar Hotels in January from private equity funds Bessemer Venture and New Vernon. Most sources suggest that it purchased a controlling 75% stake in the company.\nFounder Anil Madhok said: \u201cThe association will help the company expand its wings further local and international capabilities.\u201d The deal could give Sarovar the financial muscle to expand its operations in Africa more quickly.\nHospitality Property Fund",

        "title": "Moise Cohen \u00ab Welcome to Agincourt, Iowa",
        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Uncategorized \u00bb Moise Cohen\nChicago remains among America\u2019s most ethnically diverse urban areas. Until proven otherwise I continue to claim it publishes more weekly foreign-language newspapers than any other city in the U.S.; Toronto claims more diversity but may not match Chicago\u2019s publication record.\nI grew up in a decidedly blue collar area amid large clusters of Poles, Ukranians, Czechs, Greeks and Lithuanians. There were also many Puerto Ricans, as well as a substantial Black community of first- or second-generation emigrants from the South who had come north for opportunity in the factories. By the time I got to high school, my repertoire of vulgarity was expansive.\nThe Jewish presence in Argo-Summit was small and may not even have been resident; the nearest synagogue was a few miles away. There were two local department stores, however, owned by Jews: Stone\u2019s in the 6200 block of Archer Avenue and Kabaker\u2019s where Archer turned east to become 55th Street. Stone\u2019s had a 50s-Modernist facade, but I suspect the interior dated to the 30s. Kabaker\u2019s was more obviously of 1900 vintage; the kind of store where pneumatic tubes whooshed your payment to an unseen clerk. Each maintained a broad range of stock, from housewares to clothing. My first \u201cbig boy\u201d shoes probably came from Stone\u2019s.\nI grew up in this environment and came to think of it as normal. In the many, many years since, I have learned a bit about historical patterns of migration in the 19th and 20th centuries, enough to intelligently anticipate what those waves may have washed upon the shores of northwest Iowa. I suspected Agincourt\u2019s earliest Hebrews might have been Central European, urban people likely to settle here as merchants in our cities and towns of various size. It is remarkable how may haberdashers came from Germany. I wondered about that knee-jerk choice, however; wondered if I was guilty of \u201cracial profiling.\u201d\nStatistically, two of Europe\u2019s most anti-Semitic countries in recent history have been Austria and France. So it may have been French panache that encouraged me to conjure Moise Cohen (rather than Moshe Kahn) as perhaps Agincourt\u2019s earliest resident Jew. If nothing else, it was an opportunity to get reacquainted with l\u2019Affaire Dreyfus, the 1890s scandal that politicized France and encouraged many Jews to relocate.\nSo I am dutifully researching the history of Jews in Iowa. There is an astounding supply of information on google.com which I hope will yield an authenticity to the Cohens and their family-owned business. Their home will also set a foundation for the temple (already designated for 1953 as an excuse to study the architecture of Erich Mendelssohn) and add another facet to community history.\nFeel free to opine whether my fascination with race and ethnicity borders itself on racism.\n\u2190 The kosher pork chop\tSynecdoche 3.0 \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Empathy: The distinguishing trait of humans.\nSome days I choose to cut all distractions while travelling. On those days I simply pay attention to all the things that surround me, the people and more importantly those little things which pass me by when am too busy with my phone.\nIt was just another day. While going to work, I reached the station for my normal train. The train had already arrived. I went to the door which had absolutely no crowd and then realized that there was some crap there, so naturally I moved to the other door. More people started coming in. Of course they weren\u2019t paying enough attention to wonder why there was no crowd already. But they noticed something which I hadn\u2019t.\nThey noticed there was a reason, why there was crap in the train. The reason, the person, was a man lying unconscious on the other side of a ladies compartment. Women, being women started talking about it. And once someone focuses on one topic, it seems as if by common consensus everyone will talk about the same issue.\nThe police officers where called to remove the man from the compartment. Other people were called to clear the place out. But the entire time, my focus was on that man who was being talked about but who no one really cared about.\nHe was very unceremoniously thrown out from the train while everybody looked down upon him and gave him dirty looks.\nAllow me to paint a picture for you.\nThat man was lying in the train in his own shit. And when he walked? There was more dripping out of his pants. His one leg was injured and he had no shoes on his feet.\nNow let me pose a question for you. How do you feel when some bird shits on you? Or when someone spatters muck on you during the rains while walking?\nNow imagine yourself in the man\u2019s position. No one asked him who he was, where he was from, whether he needed anything. They only stared at him while he limped by.\nWhen I saw this, I couldnt take it. I got off the train and bought 2 bottles of water and gave it to the man so he could wash himself. I told him to wait in one spot once he was done and if needed anything to eat. He said he hadn\u2019t eaten for a few days and would be happy with anything. I went, hunting for a clothes shop so that I could replace his clothes but to no vail. It was too early in the morning and no shops were open yet. I got him something to eat and asked him if he would be there at the station in the evening. He said he would. I promised him I would be back & that I would get him clothes. And he said this to me,\n\u201d Thank you for whatever you have done so far. In today\u2019s world no one even looks at people like me, let alone help as much as you did. Ill pray for you and your success. I wish I could make you meet my mother & sister. They look after me the same way you did. Thank you again\u201d\nAt the end of that conversation, I was in tears and my heart bleed, for all those less priviliged than me. I promised him ill be back in the evening and left for work.\nThe entire day, I couldn\u2019t settle down, couldn\u2019t get that man out of my mind. Couldn\u2019t get the thought out of my head that its only a matter of luck, which family we are born to. That its only fate, which circumstances we are born to. There is nothing to be vain about. In fact it becomes our responsibility to help those people who are helpless, who deserve better.\nIts important to imagine ourselves into the lives of others. Empathy is what differentiates us from the other species and what helps us learn from other people\u2019s experiences without having to go through them ourselves.\nThose words we speak, those people we judge, all have stories. It is easy to forget to put ourselves in someone else\u2019s shoes but that\u2019s what we must do.\nI found that man in the evening. I gave him the clothes and we did not say a word to each other.\nI never saw him again, but he changed me for a lifetime.",

The Southern psych band recently wrapped up work on their forthcoming album Moonlight Anthems with producer Matthew E. White, known for his work with Natalie Prass and Flo Morrissey.\nIn advance of that project, the band has shared a new song, \u201cWe Are Doing Fine,\u201d a Beatles-influenced tune with lush walls of vocal harmonies, a prominent horn section, and an anthemic singalong chorus.\n\u201c\u2018We Are Doing Fine\u2019 was one of the songs where we got a chance to really dive in to some tape manipulation experiments with Matthew E. White,\u201d bass player Cole Friedman says. \u201cThe entire rhythm section actually tracked the song to analog tape about 10 bpms faster and a whole step up from the intended key and speed of the song, and we then slowed the tape down to get the song back to the original key. We had no clue if it was gonna work out, but it ended up giving the song a really cool depth with the rest of the overdubbed tracks recorded in real time over the slowed down track.\u201d\nMoonlight Anthems is out June 16 via Yep Roc Records. Listen to \u201cWe Are Doing Fine\u201d below.",

        "title": "60 Minutes Report Recaps Horrifying Details of Trump\u2019s Family Separation Policy - America's Voice",
        "raw_content": "Over Thanksgiving weekend, 60 Minutes aired a searing report on Donald Trump\u2019s family separation policy, which has separated thousands of children from their families and is still ongoing. Entitled \u201cThe chaos behind Donald Trump\u2019s policy of family separation at the border\u201d, the segment found that the Administration lied about the aim of the policy and how long the policy was in effect. They also found that the Administration failed to properly reunite children with their families, and highlighted the potential long-term effects on children affected by the policy.\n\u201cWe take better care of people\u2019s effects when we send them to jail than we took care of the children who we took from their parents,\u201d said Cecilia Munoz, the director of the Domestic Policy Council under the Obama Administration, in the segment. \u201cAnd that\u2019s because these decisions were clearly made at the top and pushed down to the agencies without thinking through the ramifications and without thinking through the potential harm.\u201d\nDescribed as a \u201czero-tolerance\u201d policy, the Administration sought to separate asylum-seeking children from their families as a deterrent to future migrants. You can find a timeline of the Administration\u2019s family separation policy here. 60 Minutes reported that at least 5,000 children have been detained by the Trump Administration since his inauguration \u2014 poor and inaccurate accounting from the Administration makes the exact number unclear. Official reporting from the White House acknowledges detaining only 2,600 children. Reporting found that many immigrants faced abysmal conditions while they were separated and detained.\nThe family separation policy was \u201cirresponsible\u201d according to Scott Shuchart, who worked for the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at Homeland Security and said that the \u201csystem that wasn\u2019t prepared on the backend to allow the families to be reconciled later.\u201d\nShuchart said that his department was not sought out for advice and when they tried to provide it, it was ignored. Shuchart\u2019s department advised that the Administration keep the records necessary to make sure that they knew where all the families were at all times, in order to be able to contact and reunite them, but the Administration refused to take this step.\n\u201cI can\u2019t believe that we sent Border Patrol agents out to take people\u2019s children from them without training on the appropriate and humane way to do that.\u201d Shuchart, who quit his job over the Administration\u2019s handling of the policy, told 60 Minutes \u201cI had taken an oath to uphold the Constitution. We were being asked as a department to do something that violated the civil rights and civil liberties of persons.\u201d\nShuchart was far from alone in his assessment of the Administration\u2019s handling of family separations. The Homeland Security\u2019s Inspector General conducted a special investigation into the department\u2019s handling of the policy and found a chaotic implementation that undermined law enforcement. As the Inspector General\u2019s report said, \u201cinstead of patrolling and securing the border, officers had to supervise and take care of children.\u201d The report found parents often did not understand \u201c\u2026their children would be separated\u201d and that they would be \u201cunable to communicate with their children after separation.\u201d Moreover, it found the agency was \u201cnot fully prepared\u201d and \u201cstruggled to provide accurate, complete, reliable data on family separation.\u201d Most egregiously, incompatible computer systems erased data that connected the separated children with their families.\n60 Minutes also interviewed Lee Gelernt, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, who sued the Administration in court to reunite families. Gelernt said immigration agents told parents, \u201cyour child is just going to take a shower, or just going to get some medical treatment,\u201d but instead the parent would not see the child again.\nEven after Gelernt convinced the court to order the reunification of the families, the Trump Administration essentially refused to take on the court-mandated responsibility. \u201cWhen the government realized it lost track of many of the parents, the Trump Administration told the court reuniting the families was the ACLU\u2019s problem,\u201d the segment noted. As Gelernt said, the Administration\u2019s response was basically, \u201cwell, if you wanna find the parents, we don\u2019t know where they are. Let the ACLU look for them.\u201d\nThe Administration\u2019s failure to adequately track the families was made even more tragic because of the psychological toll the separation took on the children.\nPsychiatrist Dr. Pam McPherson, who works at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), said the policy gave her \u201cconcerns about the trauma that the children could experience, about the cumulative traumatic stress that could lead children to have delays in developmental milestones, difficulties with their memory or thinking later, difficulties forming relationships and regulating their emotions.\u201d\n\u201cWhen a child looks to their parent for comfort and the parent\u2019s not there, the child quits looking for comfort. Once the child detaches, they can have lifelong difficulties forming relationships,\u201d said McPherson.\nMcPherson\u2019s concerns appear quite evident in three-year-old Immers, a boy from Honduras who was separated from his parents by the Trump Administration and placed with a foster family in Michigan for 73 days. Video of the Immers\u2019 reunion with his mother shows him recoiling from and trying to escape from her. \u201cIt felt like he wasn\u2019t my son anymore. It felt like a nightmare,\u201d said Gladys, Immers\u2019 mother. \u201cAnd from that day until today,\u201d she said, \u201cit\u2019s been very difficult to deal with him.\u201d For so many families affected by the zero tolerance policy, the trauma of what happened continues.\n\u201cWe understood that that action would create an imminent threat to the harm and safety of children,\u201d Dr. Scott Allen, an internist who also works for DHS, said of the family separation policy. Allen also described one episode \u201cwhere children in a mass immunization program were immunized with the wrong dose, an adult dose instead of the child dose, because the providers at the facility weren\u2019t used to working with children.\u201d\nUn-redacted government documents have established that the Administration crafted the family separation policy as a deterrent for future migration \u2014 and that Kirstjen Nielsen lied to Congress when she told them the opposite. Cecilia Munoz said even before the Trump Administration started separating families, it was clear these sort of deterrents do not work. \u201cIf your child was told today by the gangs, \u2018your life is at risk unless you start running drugs for us,\u2019\u201d Munoz said, \u201cyou\u2019re thinking much more about their safety today and tomorrow than you\u2019re thinking about, \u2018what\u2019s going to happen once we get to our destination?\u2019\u201d\nThe documents obtained by 60 Minutes also revealed that separations began nine months earlier than the Administration had previously acknowledged. The Administration actually experimented with the policy first, beginning with a pilot program in the El Paso area from July to November 2017. Chillingly, according to 60 Minutes, \u201cwe don\u2019t know how many children were taken in those five months.\u201d\nWatch the 60 Minutes report here:",

        "raw_content": "I meant to get a lot done last weekend, but I didn\u2019t. I think all of us have those days. I meant to add to the book, because I want to release a second addition with even more angry rants. But as it happened, I got caught up in a show on Netflix called Sense 8, which is really very good.\nOn a side note, I have to use a proxy to watch anything here because of copywrite laws, and I have to say, that is bullshit. The rules governing international copywrite are so unnecessarily complicated that it\u2019s easier to illegal download something than it is to pay for it.\nI try to pay for my music and other entertainment, because I like having access to quality stuff. If no one spends a little money on the things they like, then the quality of those things will obviously go down.\nSo what I really want is for Netflix and other streaming services to shut up and take my money. Don\u2019t tell me your service is blocked in my country! (I am looking at you in particular Comedy Central.) Just let me pay for access to content I like!\nIt\u2019s driven me crazy since I got here that you can buy a bootleg copy of a movie at a subway station for a dollar, but nowhere will let you stream it online for any price. It\u2019s like they actively try not to make money.\nI don\u2019t know what it would take to just let anyone in the world pay for streaming services, but we should really figure that shit out.\nPosted in My Musings.Tagged copywrite law, Sense 8 is really good, wasted my weekend.\nPrevious Post My Muslim Friend\nNext Post Being Bullied by Democrats",

        "title": "How Wallonia looks set to do more democratic scrutiny of Brexit than the UK!",
        "raw_content": "How Wallonia looks set to do more democratic scrutiny of Brexit than the UK!\nThe Tory party have used Brexit to engineer an extraordinary anti-democratic coup. It was somewhat ironic that unelected peers in the House of Lords put up the fight in favour of democracy and parliamentary sovereignty, but their \"meaningful vote\" amendment to the absolute insult of a Brexit bill was defeated in the House of Commons as the Tories (assisted by UKIP, the DUP, the UUP and six appalling democracy-hating Labour Party rebels) cleared the path for Theresa May to scrap the principle of parliamentary sovereignty and set herself up as an autocrat who is beyond democratic accountability.\nThis defeat for democracy means that the Tory government will be able to make up the terms of Brexit as they go along, with no parliamentary scrutiny or approval whatever. Theresa May and her three incompetent Brexiteers will decide the future direction of the UK and there will be nothing that parliament can do to stop even the most brazenly self-serving of their machinations.\nThe Brexit situation is now utterly farcical. According to the terms of Article 50 the European Parliament will get a democratic vote on the post-Brexit agreement, but the Tories have engineered it so that the British parliament won't get a vote!\nIf things get complicated (which they likely will) and the post-Brexit trade deal becomes what is known as a Mixed Agreement, it won't just be the European Parliament that gets a vote, the individual national parliaments of the remaining 27 member states will all get a democratic vote on whether they agree to the terms, but the Tories have engineered it so that the UK parliament won't get a democratic vote!\nIf the post-Brexit deal becomes a Mixed Agreement it won't just be the national parliaments of the 27 remaining member states that get a vote either, the ratification procedures of Belgium include giving their regional parliaments a veto on the deal. This means that if the post-Brexit deal becomes a Mixed Agreement the Belgian regional parliament of Wallonia will get a democratic vote on it, but the UK parliament won't!\nIf the EU fail to cave into Theresa May's ludicrous threat-based posturing to fulfil her ridiculous list of demands for special favours for her corporate mates, there's the chance that she will launch a retaliatory and mutually ruinous \"nuclear Brexit\", and there will be no democratic means available for parliament to stop her doing it.\nThe only way for this anti-democratic Tory power-grab to be stopped now will be through the courts. However if the courts do decide to reassert that parliament is sovereign, we can be absolutely sure that whoever brings the case will be inundated with rape threats and death threats by the Brexit mob, and the pro-democracy judges will be declared \"enemies of the people\" again by extreme-right propaganda rags like the S*n, Daily Mail and Express.\nThe Tories have voted to scrap the principle of parliamentary sovereignty in favour of giving Theresa May authority to do whatever she likes free of any kind of democratic scrutiny. There's absolutely no way that such an anti-democratic power grab could be achieved within the framework of the EU. It's only by quitting the EU that such anti-democratic Tory extremism has been enabled.\nIt's becoming ever clearer that the European Union is actually very much more democratic than Tory Brexit Britain, and that Brexit was just an excuse for an anti-democratic Tory power-grab to free them from the democratic constraints of parliamentary scrutiny and approval. This anti-democratic Tory scheming makes me wonder how all of the people who voted for Brexit because of issues like \"democracy\" and \"parliamentary sovereignty\" are taking this.\nI guess the most likely option is total denial, because for Brexit voters to accept this anti-democratic coup for what it is, would mean them accepting that they've been duped into signing a blank contract with the hard-right fringe of the Tory party, and we all know that people have a tendency to prefer the comfort of denial rather than taking the huge self-esteem hit of admitting to themselves that they've been played like gullible fools.\nLabels: 2017, Belgium, Brexit, Democracy, Dictatorship, EU, House of Commons, House of Lords, Law, Theresa May, Tories, UK",

        "raw_content": "Welcome to Music Friday when we bring you fun songs with jewelry, gemstones or precious metals in the title or lyrics. Today, country music artist Tracy Byrd tells the story of Tommy and Janey\u2019s life-changing trip to a jewelry store in 1997\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Love Make a Diamond Shine.\u201d\nIn the very first verse, we are introduced to a young couple looking for the perfect engagement ring. They\u2019re holding hands and staring into the bridal case when a particular ring catches Tommy\u2019s eye.\nByrd sings, \u201cMister bring it closer, mister can we hold it / I think it\u2019s gonna fit just fine / As he slipped it on her hand, Janey kissed her man / Don\u2019t love make a diamond shine.\u201d\nByrd goes on to explain that any diamond \u2014 no matter what size \u2014 looks like a million bucks \u201csittin\u2019 on the hand of a girl in love.\u201d He also takes a shot at a rich couple whose perfect 15-carat diamond is \u201cduller than dirt\u201d because their relationship is on the rocks.\nWritten by Mike Dekle and Craig Wiseman, \u201cDon\u2019t Love Make a Diamond Shine\u201d was released as the third single from Byrd\u2019s fourth album, Big Love. The song reached #17 on the U.S. Billboard Country Songs chart and #13 on the Canada Country Tracks chart. Big Love became Byrd\u2019s third gold-selling album.\nBorn in Vidor, Texas, Byrd explored his musical talents with a local band called Rimfire while attending Southwest Texas State. A friend encouraged Byrd to sing a cover of Hank Williams\u2019 \u201cYour Cheatin\u2019 Heart\u201d at a mall recording studio and the result was so impressive that the studio\u2019s owner entered Byrd into a local talent contest. The artist caught the attention of MCA Records, which offered him a recording contract in 1992.\nThe 51-year-old has charted more than 30 singles, including 11 Top Ten hits. He\u2019s produced 10 studio albums and two greatest-hits albums.\nPlease check out the audio clip of Byrd performing \u201cDon\u2019t Love Make A Diamond Shine.\u201d The lyrics are below if you\u2019d like to sing along\u2026\n\u201cDon\u2019t Love Make A Diamond Shine\u201d\nI think it\u2019s gonna fit just fine\nDon\u2019t love make a diamond shine.\nIt don\u2019t matter if it costs a dime\nSittin\u2019 on the hand of a girl in love.\nIf the heart don\u2019t wear it\nWith three little words it\u2019ll knock you blind\nThere\u2019s a rich lady with a new Mercedes\nLivin\u2019 up in a high rise\nShe\u2019s got a big ol\u2019 rock on her left hand\n\u2018Cause her man don\u2019t know that it ain\u2019t the dough\nAnd that big marquis\u2019d be a laser beam",

        "title": "5 Dangers of Using Diet Pills & Stimulants for Weight Loss",
        "raw_content": "While many dietary supplements are essentially harmless to your overall health while promoting weight loss or curbing your appetite, it\u2019s still important to stay informed about the diet pills you choose to take and the risks and side effects they can carry.\nNew weight loss medications are popping up every day, with many getting banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) nearly just as quickly due to the dangerous and potentially fatal effects they can have on people who use them.\nThis is doubly important when it comes to taking stimulants, as many people will use drugs like Adderall for their unintended or \u201coff-label\u201d weight loss effects. While Adderall may sometimes be prescribed by a doctor for off-label use, it is still easy to accidentally abuse and could lead to using other, illicit drugs with similar effects, such as cocaine.\nBefore choosing to use stimulants or diet pills to supplement your weight loss, make sure you know the possible dangers that come with them so you can avoid taking any unnecessary risks and lose weight safely.\n1. Serious Heart Problems\nMany weight loss medications claim to increase your metabolism, reduce your appetite, and give you more energy. However, there are some that do so through the use of stimulants. Some may use amphetamines, while others will have a combination of caffeine, guarana, or other amphetamine-derived ingredients.\nThese stimulants cause a sharp increase in your blood pressure and heart rate, which can lead to conditions such as tachycardia, or, if you already have a heart condition, can make it worse and put you in danger of severe cardiovascular problems.\nMisusing or abusing these pills can lead to:\nBefore being banned by the FDA in 2004, many diet supplements contained ephedra, an herbal stimulant that was deemed too dangerous, as its use resulted in heart attacks, stroke, and even death. Despite this, some diet pills will illegally use ephedra, which is why it is crucial that you buy any weight loss medications from a legal and reputable source.\nWhile the aim of taking diet pills is, of course, to shed pounds, they can unfortunately also cause uncomfortable and sometimes severe gastrointestinal problems. The problem is that many diet pills work by blocking or reducing fat absorption in your body, which changes your digestive process can cause a wide range of side effects, from mild to severe:\nIncrease in gas\nIn order to avoid these side effects as much as possible, make sure to monitor your dosage levels carefully, never take more than what is prescribed or recommended, and avoid greasy or overly fatty foods, as these will usually agitate these symptoms. Since you\u2019re trying to lose weight, you ought to be staying away from those foods anyway!\n3. Increased Anxiety and Other Mental Health Issues\nWhile it may be surprising to learn, diet pills and stimulants can affect more than just your body. Many of them can also have a strong negative impact on your emotional state and mental wellbeing.\nThe stimulants in certain weight loss pills as well as in amphetamines like Adderall can cause agitation and irritability, mood swings, and nervousness. Amphetamine-derived drugs, in particular, carry an increased chance of extreme feelings of anxiety and paranoia if they are misused.\nAnother thing that you should always keep in mind when taking any supplements or medications is how they will interact with any mental health disorders you may have. If you already have a history of anxiety or depression, regular use of diet pills can worsen the symptoms they cause, leading to panic attacks or suicidal thoughts.\nWe all want to be our healthiest selves and that includes mental health as well as physical. While diet pills and certain stimulants can help you attain your ideal body, it shouldn\u2019t come at the cost of your mental and emotional wellbeing.\nAs previously mentioned, the stimulants in some diet pills will give you more energy and increase metabolism. Depending on the amount you\u2019re taking and your sensitivity to stimulants, this heightened level of energy can feel like drinking an excessive amount of coffee or energy drinks, which makes sense since they contain many of the same ingredients.\nWith that in mind, it\u2019s easy to see why sleep-related problems are a common side effect of weight loss medications. The increased energy and elevated heart rate can lead to restless sleep and bouts of insomnia.\nThe potential side effects of anxiety, paranoia, and nervous thoughts also contribute toward keeping you up at night and unable to relax enough to fall asleep. This sleeplessness is not only frustrating but also causes:\nSignificant daytime grogginess (which can be very dangerous when driving or performing other activities that require concentration to be safe)\nFeelings of depression and irritability\nA desire for more pills or stimulants to perk you back up\nThe problem with taking more stimulants, whether it\u2019s more pills or just more coffee, is that it will usually only make your insomnia worse. Many people will instead turn to sleep aids to counteract these effects, like Lunesta or Ambien.\nUsing more drugs to manage the effects of other drugs is a slippery slope that can very easily lead to the abuse of multiple substances as you try to juggle your drug use and cancel outside effects.\nThis is mainly a concern for amphetamines, with more people turning to traditional ADHD medications like Adderall for its secondary weight loss effects, and typically at higher doses than someone who has been prescribed Adderall for ADHD. However, even taking Adderall at the prescribed dosage carries a risk of psychological and physical dependency and, as the FDA states, has a high potential for abuse.\nApart from Adderall, many diet pills also contain or are derived from amphetamines and come with strict guidelines for small doses and short-term use. Regular long-term misuse means not just becoming dependent on the drug, but also developing a tolerance, which means that you start needing more of it to achieve the same effects as before. This opens up even greater risks for developing all of the symptoms and side effects listed above.\nPeople who have become addicted to diet pills or stimulants and grown tolerant to their effects are also more likely to seek out stronger, illicit stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamines, the use of which carry far more deadly consequences.\nA large part of being healthy is being informed about what you put into your body, not just when it comes to food but also the supplements and pills you might take to help lose weight. Knowing the dangers involved in taking certain diet pills and stimulants means being able to make smart decisions and keep your body safe as well as healthy.\nCall Arete Recovery at 855-781-9939 to connect with a caring and educated addiction specialist who will point you toward the right treatment for you or your loved one.

        "title": "Addressing Dominic\u2019s Response to the Purpose of Regeneration in Calvinism | Arminian Perspectives",
        "raw_content": "Addressing Dominic\u2019s Response to the Purpose of Regeneration in Calvinism\nBelow is an answer offered by \u201cDominic\u201d to my post on the purpose of regeneration in the Calvinist scheme, with my response to his answer interspersed. He also touches on my post concerning the Arminian ordo. I was originally going to leave my response in his combox, but since it became very long, and since it deals with a primary Calvinist proof text for the priority of regeneration, I decided to make a post out of it instead. You can read his response at his site here. His post is blocked in yellow quotes and my response appears in between.\nBen at Arminian Perspectives has recently posted a brief article asking, \u2018What Purpose Does Regeneration Serve in Calvinism?\u2019 Briefly put, since \u201cGod can (and does) turn the will wherever he wants [\u2026] why must God regenerate a sinner in order to create faith in him? Why can\u2019t God just control the will from unbelief to belief without regard to regeneration?\u201d I think that\u2019s a fair, reasonable question on the surface of it, Ben, so let me respond as a Calvinist.\nThe answer to your question isn\u2019t so difficult if you consider what faith is. Faith is not merely an abstract awareness of some or other facts about God and Christ. It is an intimate knowledge about these things, communicated directly by the Spirit. That is Paul\u2019s main point in 1 Corinthians 2, where he ends with that remarkable statement, \u201cBut we have the mind of Christ\u201d (v 16b).\nFaith, as pertains to receiving the truth of the gospel and the gift of salvation, is simple trust in the work of Christ, and does not require intimate knowledge of all of the \u201cthings of God\u201d (Rom. 4:4, 5)\nWhat does that mean? Why is it that we have-that we need-the mind of Christ? Because \u201cwho knows a person\u2019s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him?\u201d (v 11) And what is it that we know? \u201cA secret and hidden wisdom of God\u201d (v 7) which \u201cno eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined\u201d (v 9). If the heart of man has not imagined these things, then how can we know about them? Because \u201cthese things God has revealed to us through the Spirit\u201d (v 10). We have knowledge of them precisely because we have \u201cthe Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.\u201d\nNote \u201cthat we might understand\u2026\u201d See below for more on that.\nThis is the mind of Christ; and this is why the natural person, the person who has not received the Spirit of God, \u201cdoes not accept the things of the Spirit of God\u201d-why they are \u201cfolly\u201d to him, and why \u201che is not able to understand them\u201d: because \u201cthey are spiritually discerned\u201d (v 14). If one does not have the Spirit, one cannot understand the things of God, because these things require direct communication by the Spirit to the believer. They are things of God\u2019s own mind, which (whether by his decree or by their very nature) cannot be grasped by anyone not availed of that mind. Thus we must be indwelled by the Spirit, having \u201cthe mind of Christ\u201d, in order to understand the spiritual truths which comprise Christianity. Without the mind of Christ, according to Paul, faith is impossible.\nI will address Dominic\u2019s understanding of 1 Cor. 2 below.\nNow, certainly God may incline a spiritually dead person to believe certain Christian propositions for a time-but since faith entails a knowledge which can only be communicated by the indwelling Spirit, and can only be understood by someone with that Spirit, it remains that if a person believes Christian propositions like \u201cChrist died for the sins of the world\u201d, yet does not have the Spirit of Christ, then he does not have faith.\nI believe this is false as explained below and according to the simple definition of faith as it pertains to receiving the gospel cited above in Rom. 4. Paul makes this clear again in 1 Cor. 2:1-5, where he reminds them that the message he preached was the simple message of \u201cJesus Christ, and him crucified\u201d. He moves from this simple declaration received by faith (vs. 4) to speaking of \u201ca message of wisdom among the mature\u201d. More on that below. So Dominic admits that God could turn the will to believe \u201ccertain Christian propositions for a time\u201d but does not include the simple gospel message in those \u201cpropositions\u201d.\nSince faith, by definition, requires the indwelling of the Spirit, not even God can direct a man to faith without first giving him that Spirit. He can incline an unregenerate heart to believe the propositions which are also believed in faith, certainly-but that belief does not constitute faith.\nI admit to being confused by this and I certainly disagree with his \u201cdefinition\u201d of faith (i.e. the simple faith that receives Christ) as requiring the indwelling Spirit. It seems that he is saying that God can turn the will to belief but that belief doesn\u2019t constitute faith. And I am still left to wonder what these \u201cpropositions\u201d entail.\nIt\u2019s merely an imitation of faith, having no real substance; no real apprehension.\nOh! So God can turn the heart to a false faith but not a real faith.\nIt cannot be any more than what that unregenerate heart can muster from its own depths-and there is nothing good, nothing like the intimate knowledge of God required for salvation, down there.\nIf the unregenerate can muster it on their own, then why the need for God to turn the will towards this false faith? How is false faith any different than unbelief? And is he suggesting that one needs to be \u201cgood\u201d before he can believe? So the message of salvation is not for sinners but for those that God has made good enough to receive it by faith? Only the good can receive Christ by faith?\nIt really goes without saying that this renders Arminianism untenable. In your previous post, \u2018The Arminian and Calvinist Ordo Salutis: A Brief Comparative Study\u2019, you listed prevenient grace as the only item prior to faith. In your view, prevenient grace is required for totally depraved man to be able to libertarianly choose to have faith-but onlyprevenient grace. Then, following logically on from that faith, you would say that the person is then joined with Christ, justified, and only then regenerated. But according to 1 Corinthians 2, prevenient grace would have to entail nothing less than the full indwelling of the Spirit of God in order to make faith possible. Nothing less than that suffices to convince the \u201cnatural man\u201d of spiritual truths. Nothing less than the mind of Christ is needed for a person to understand Christianity so as to have faith at all.\nThis is simply false based on a misunderstanding of 1 Cor. 2 (which seems to be the source of all of Dominic\u2019s confusion on the issue). Paul is not speaking of understanding the gospel and accepting it (since they are infants in Christ), but the deeper revelations of the Spirit that can be received only by the mature (vss. 6, 7; cf. \u201csolid food\u201d of 3:2). Paul is addressing the Corinthians as immature Christians who cannot receive the deep things of God because they are still infants in Christ. They are not without the Spirit in that they do not have the Spirit dwelling in them. Rather, they are not yielding to the Spirit. They are letting their carnal passions get the best of them so that they cannot move forward to spiritual maturity.\nHe is comparing the world\u2019s lack of understanding with their own lack of spiritual discernment (vs. 14) since they are acting \u201cworldly\u201d. Basically, he is telling them that they are acting like those who do not have the Spirit since they refuse to yield to the Spirit in moving on to maturity and a stronger knowledge of God, though they do in fact have the Spirit, being infants in Christ. It is a \u201cmessage of wisdom among the mature\u201d that they cannot receive due to their spiritual immaturity. Paul is not saying that those without the indwelling Spirit cannot receive the truth of the gospel (see my comments above concerning 1 Cor. 2:1-5). If the truth of the gospel were the subject then Paul would be saying that only mature Christians could receive the truth of the gospel (vs. 6), which is plainly absurd.\nTheir jealousy and quarreling proves that they are not mature enough to receive \u201cthe message of wisdom among the mature\u201d (2:6, cf. 3:3, 4). It proves that they are not ready for solid food (\u201cthe message of wisdom\u201d that Paul wants to share with them) since they are still \u201cworldly\u201d. But Paul still acknowledges that they are babes in Christ, though worldly, which makes Dominic\u2019s interpretation impossible. It is the difference between spiritual (mature) Christians and unspiritual (immature) Christians (2:14, 15). It is the difference between those with spiritual discernment (mature) and those without it (immature).\nThe spiritual man (in this context) is the believer who does not allow his fleshly passions to prevent him from maturing in Christ and gaining wisdom that is \u201cspiritually discerned\u201d. The unspiritual man is the believer who has received the gospel but has allowed his fleshy passions (e.g. jealousy and quarreling) to prevent him from gaining wisdom that is \u201cspiritually discerned\u201d. While he has the Spirit, he is not allowing the Spirit to control his mind that he \u201cmight understand the things freely given us by God.\u201d\nCompare what Paul says in 1 Cor. 2 with Eph. 1: 15-17,\nFor this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of the Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. (emphasis mine)\nSo Paul envisions believers who can be without the \u201cSpirit of wisdom and revelation.\u201d Does this mean that they do not have the Spirit dwelling within them? Of course not. Paul is speaking of a deeper level of spiritual wisdom. This deeper level is what the Corinthians could not attain due to their yielding to worldly passions (see also Phil. 1:9-10; Col. 1:9). Rather, they had allowed their favoritism, jealousy, and quarreling to render them \u201cineffective\u201d and \u201cunproductive\u201d in the \u201cknowledge of \u2026Jesus Christ.\u201d (2 Peter 1:8)\nThe interpretation Dominic suggests also runs contrary to what Paul says in Galatians 3:3, 5,\nPaul is plainly telling the Galatians that the Holy Spirit is received by faith (also see Gal. 3:14). So it is really the Calvinist that must explain how one can be regenerated prior to receiving the Holy Spirit, and Dominic\u2019s statement that, \u201cSince faith, by definition, requires the indwelling of the Spirit, not even God can direct a man to faith without first givinghim that Spirit\u201d is seen to be at odds with Paul, who says that the Spirit is received by faith. And regarding the supposed need for the indwelling mind of Christ to believe, I wonder what Dominic makes of the fact that Paul tells the Ephesians that Christ dwells in their hearts \u201cthrough faith\u201d? (Eph. 3:16, 17)\nAs John puts it, a man must be reborn of the Spirit before he can \u201csee\u201d the kingdom of God (John 3:3,8).\nBut this being the case, it is evident that once a man has the mind of Christ, he will be convinced of and understand the truths of Christianity (not in a flash, of course; not all at once-but inevitably). Once a man is reborn of the Spirit, he willsee the kingdom of God. So if the Arminian wishes to go so far as to say that prevenient grace does indeed entail the indwelling of the Spirit in some sense, then he goes too far because either prevenient grace is not given to everyone (in which case, it\u2019s hard to see the distinction between Arminianism and Calvinism here); or everyone is a Christian and is saved (which is plainly false on both scriptural and merely empirical grounds).\nFor a treatment of John 3:3 and why I find that it actually supports the Arminian contention that faith precedes regeneration, see here.\nFurthermore, the question remains: what, in your ordo salutus, is regeneration, if prevenient grace is a sufficient condition of saving faith?\nRegeneration is the beginning of new life in Christ. It is the commencement of eternal life. It is the moment one becomes a child of God (born of God).\nThe only theological system which accommodates Paul\u2019s teachings regarding the nature and requirements of spiritual belief is Calvinism. Those teachings are accurately reflected in the monogerstic view which Calvinism takes of regeneration, wherein God must sovereingly work by giving his Spirit to those whom he has elected to salvation. He knows who will believe because he knows to whom he will give his Spirit. By contrast, the Arminian scheme renders 1 Corinthians 2 incoherent, since God\u2019s knowledge of whom he will save is based on those people\u2019s own choosing-yet they cannot choose without God first having given them his Spirit.\nActually, the Arminian view understands 1 Cor. 2 in its proper context, dealing with spiritual discernment and maturity in believers, rather than the subject of receiving the gospel in simple faith. And it needs to be noted again that Dominic\u2019s view of 1 Cor. 2 would render Galatians 3:3, 5, and 14 incoherent.\nWhile I disagree with Dominic, I appreciate his criticism of the Arminian ordo from his own perspective and the gracious tone by which he leveled that criticism. I would be interested to hear his take on what I described in my post as theologically absurd features of the Calvinist ordo with regards to the priority of regeneration.\nGo to the follow-up post: \u201cResponding to Dominic\u2019s Second Rebuttal on Regeneration Preceding Faith\u201d\nFiled under: 1 Cor. 2:14, Calvinism, debates, faith, irresistible grace, monergism, ordo salutis, prevenient grace, questions for Calvinists, regeneration |\n\u00ab What Purpose Does Regeneration Serve in Calvinism? Responding To Dominic\u2019s Second Rebuttal on Regeneration Preceding Faith \u00bb\nTo add to your points, I went to Dominic\u2019s site to see his necessitarian response and was not surprised at all by the response. Dominic regularly assumes what needs to be proved, begs the question in order to support his false necessitarian beliefs. Like many necessatarians he also intentionally redefines key terms so that they no longer have the proper meaning but have a necessitarian meaning foisted upon them.\nDominic\u2019s presentation has some major errors in it including a strange conception of faith as a form of knowledge directly revealed by the Spirit (rather than the action of choosing to trust) and one of the most blatant cases of begging the question that I have ever seen on the part of a necessatarian. You could also call this the fallacy of truth by stipulation (i.e., a person stipulates a certain definition of something with the intention of then using this contrived definition to \u201cprove\u201d his view, cults do this a lot with the bible as do necessatarians).\nLook at his definition of FAITH:\n\u201cThe answer to your question isn\u2019t so difficult if you consider what faith is. Faith is not merely an abstract awareness of some or other facts about God and Christ. It is an intimate knowledge about these things, communicated directly by the Spirit.\u201d\nNow it is true that our faith is based upon, grounded in what the Spirit has revealed, but faith itself is the action of trusting or placing our confidence in something or someone. If you define faith as some sort of secret knowledge given only to the spiritual elite you start sounding like a Gnostic rather than a Christian.\n\u201cThat is Paul\u2019s main point in 1 Corinthians 2, where he ends with that remarkable statement, \u201cBut we have the mind of Christ\u201d (v 16b).\u201d\nSo Dominic derives his definition of faith from 1 Corinthians 2. That already shows the problem, 1 Cor. 2 is not concerned with the nature of faith, but is concerned with the fact that the Spirit revealed things to the apostle Paul and does so with other Christians as well. Why was Paul talking about the Spirit revealing truths to him to the Corinthians in chapter 2? Well if you interpret the book of 1 Corinthians you find that there were apparently some folks at Corinth who thought they were more spiritual and more enlightened then other Christians. They also thought they were more enlightened and spiritual than the apostle Paul. So one of the things Paul argues against this spiritual elite is that He has the Spirit and so He has access to the truths of God. That is what he is talking about in 1 Cor. 2: he is not having a discussion of the nature of faith, nor does he define faith there as: \u201cIt is an intimate knowledge about these things, communicated directly by the Spirit\u201d. Another error that Dominic makes besides ignoring the context is that he is confusing REVELATION with FAITH. Faith is an action that humans do: revelation is something God gives, that the Holy spirit gives to people. Revelation given by the Spirit is what we ought to be trusting in, acting upon as believers, but this revelation is not ITSELF FAITH!\nNotice how Dominic describes what he is mistakenly calling \u201cfaith\u201d:\n\u201cAnd what is it that we know? \u201cA secret and hidden wisdom of God\u201d (v 7) which \u201cno eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined\u201d (v 9). If the heart of man has not imagined these things, then how can we know about them? Because \u201cthese things God has revealed to us through the Spirit\u201d (v 10). We have knowledge of them precisely because we have \u201cthe Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.\u201d\u201d\nCan everybody else see this? Clearly Dominic is talking about REVELATION given by the Spirit. On the other hand, the apostle Paul is not talking about faith in 1 Cor. 2 but about REVELATION.\nDominic then appeals to a principle often appealed to by necessatarians to argue that the nonbeliever is incapable of having a faith response before being regenerated:\n\u201cIf one does not have the Spirit, one cannot understand the things of God, because these things require direct communication by the Spirit to the believer. They are things of God\u2019s own mind, which (whether by his decree or by their very nature) cannot be grasped by anyone not availed of that mind.\u201d\nThe Arminian believes that the prevenient grace of God which involves the work of the Spirit who enables faith does in fact give understanding of spiritual truths to a nonbeliever who has not yet been indwelled by the Spirit. But note Dominic\u2019s contrived and invented assumption: only believers can receive \u201cdirect communication by the Spirit\u201d [Dominic adds \u201cto the believer\u201d].\nNow comes the key example of begging the question, truth by stipulation on the part of Dominic:\n\u201cThus we must be indwelled by the Spirit, having \u201cthe mind of Christ\u201d, in order to understand the spiritual truths which comprise Christianity. Without the mind of Christ, according to Paul, faith is impossible.\u201d\nDo ya\u2019ll set it? According to Dominic WE MUST BE INDWELLED BY THE SPIRIT, in order to UNDERSTAND THE SPIRITUAL TRUTHS WHICH COMPRISE CHRISTIANITY. And who is indwelled by the Spirit? Only Christians (cf. Romans 8\u201d9). So according to Dominic only those indwelled by the Spirit (i.e., Christians) can UNDERSTAND THE SPIRITUAL TRUTHS THAT COMPRISE CHRISTIANITY. Well that is nifty and oh so convenient, by defining things that way, Dominic ensures that the nonbeliever could never ever have any understanding of the \u201cthe truths that comprise Christianity\u201d because only the Christian is indwelled by the Spirit and so only the Christian can understand \u201cthe truths that comprise Christianity.\u201d Pretty nifty how truth by stipulation works.\nNotice Dominic says that: \u201cWithout the mind of Christ, according to Paul, faith is impossible.\u201d\nWhere did Paul say that **in** 1 Cor. 2? (he doesn\u2019t) Where does he even mention the word faith **in** 1 Cor. 2? (he doesn\u2019t) And where does Paul say **in** 1 Cor. 2 that without the mind of Christ/which Dominic takes to mean being indwelled by the Spirit, that FAITH IS IMPOSSIBLE? (he doesn\u2019t). Well if none of these things is present in the text of 1 Cor. 2 then what is going on? Dominic is defining terms to support his necessitarian beliefs and then reading them into the text of 1 Cor. 2. Again, if we properly were exegeting 1 Cor. 2 we would find the discussion is not about faith nor is it about nonbelievers being incapable of a faith response, none of this is there **in** the text at all. Instead it is read into/eisegeted by Dominic.\nThe fact is that nonbelievers do receive understanding from the Spirit before they believe: it\u2019s called prevenient grace. It is also something many of us have probably experienced ourselves and know to be true. Has anyone here had the experience of becoming a Christian and finding that it was a process that involved hearing the gospel, understanding more and more about the bible and Jesus and salvation (all these things being revealed by the Spirit to us) and yet we were not yet saved. We were experiencing the prevenient grace of God, the Spirit was working in us and yet we had not yet made the choice to trust in Christ alone for salvation. I experienced this myself and have talked to lots of people who have had the same experience, BEFORE THEY WERE SAVED, before they were indwelt by the Spirit.\nEven Dominic has to admit this and directly contradicts himself when he writes: \u201c\u201cNow, certainly God may incline a spiritually dead person to believe certain Christian propositions for a time\u201d. What? Isn\u2019t Dominic the same guy that told us earlier that unless you are indwelt by the Spirit you can\u2019t \u201cunderstand the spiritual truths that comprise Christianity\u201d? If the person who is not indwelt with the Spirit cannot understand the \u201cspiritual truths that comprise Christianity\u201d, then how can this same person have God incline him \u201cto believe certain Christian propositions for a time\u201d. That is totally contradictory to what Dominic claims about the necessity of being indwelt by the Spirit in order to understand Christian spiritual truths!\nDominic continues with: \u201cbut since faith entails a knowledge which can only be communicated by the indwelling Spirit, and can only be understood by someone with that Spirit, it remains that if a person believes Christian propositions like \u201cChrist died for the sins of the world\u201d, yet does not have the Spirit of Christ, then he does not have faith.\u201d\nThere it is again, the Dominic principle: unless a person is indwelt by the Spirit then they cannot have faith. Does the bible say this? No, this is Dominic\u2019s contrived attempt to define things in such a way that his necessitarian beliefs will follow.\nConsider another little gem by Dominic:\n\u201cSince faith, by definition, requires the indwelling of the Spirit, not even God can direct a man to faith without first giving him that Spirit.\u201d\nWait a minute, BY WHOSE DEFINITION, does faith require the indwelling of the Spirit? DOMINICS!!!!!!! Does the bible ever state this principle? NO.\nThere is another major problem with Dominic\u2019s reasoning here. I thought that the indwelling of the Spirit was an experience that only New covenant believers/Christians experience? I thought that one of the contrasts between OT saints like Abraham and NT saints like the apostle Paul is that only the latter saints experienced the indwelling of the Holy Spirit? And I thought that began in Acts 2. Now if these things are true, then saints previous to the New Testament era HAD FAITH WITHOUT BEING INDWELT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. Oops, there goes the Dominic principle: refuted by the experience of all of the believers in the OT who did in fact have faith and yet did not experience the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.\n\u201cHe can incline an unregenerate heart to believe the propositions which are also believed in faith, certainly\u2014but that belief does not constitute faith. It\u2019s merely an imitation of faith, having no real substance; no real apprehension.\u201d\nNow we get semantic word games on top of truth by stipulation and a false definition of faith (confusing faith with revelation). So God could incline an unregenerate heart to believe the propositions which are also believed in faith (say the gospel for example! Believe that Jesus is God, that Jesus rose from the dead, that Jesus is the way of salvation, etc. etc.) and yet the person could understand those things and believe them, THE PROPOSITIONS THAT ARE ALSO BELIEVED IN FAITH, but that does not constitute faith! So there is the true faith that God inclines the elect to have, but he also inclines nonbelievers to believe the same propositions that the believers believe which are considered faith, but when believed by the nonbelievers are considered \u201cmerely an imitation of faith\u201d? If you are going to start playing semantic games like this, then anything goes, anything can result. This is not the bible this is a necessitarian desperately trying to support his view with all sorts of convenient assumptions and word games.\nI have said before that the necessitarian beliefs make God into a moral monster, a sadist who plays games with humans as if they were mere things to be played with rather than genuine persons created in the image of God. Here we see it again. Say Dominic is correct that God inclines some non-believers to believe certain propositions that believers believe to be true in faith, but the nonbeliever is given only an imitation of faith. What would God be doing to this person? He would lead them to believe Christian beliefs, though the nonbeliever did not really have genuine faith, so this nonbeliever could think that he was saved, think that he believed what he needed to believe in order to be saved, be convinced he was a believer when in reality he was not! What kind of person would toy with humans in this way? That is not the God of the bible but a moral sadist, the god that results from necessitarian beliefs.\n\u201cIt really goes without saying that this renders Arminianism untenable. In your previous post, \u2018The Arminian and Calvinist Ordo Salutis: A Brief Comparative Study\u2019, you listed prevenient grace as the only item prior to faith. In your view, prevenient grace is required for totally depraved man to be able to libertarianly choose to have faith\u2014but only prevenient grace. Then, following logically on from that faith, you would say that the person is then joined with Christ, justified, and only then regenerated. But according to 1 Corinthians 2, prevenient grace would have to entail nothing less than the full indwelling of the Spirit of God in order to make faith possible.\u201d\nLook at that last line here in particular. According to Dominic\u2019s principle (i.e., faith is not possible unless you have been indwelt by the Spirit first), supposedly derived from 1 Cor. 2. \u201cnothing less than the full indwelling of the Spirit of God in order to make faith possible.\u201d Arminians believe the Holy Spirit is perfectly capable of enabling a faith response in a person by working in that person and revealing things to that person, WITHOUT HAVING TO INDWELL THE PERSON. First the Spirit works in the sinner (i.e., prevenient grace that enables a faith response). Then if the person trusts in Christ alone for salvation, the person is then indwelt by the Spirit.\n\u201cNothing less than that suffices to convince the \u201cnatural man\u201d of spiritual truths. Nothing less than the mind of Christ is needed for a person to understand Christianity so as to have faith at all.\u201d\nDoesn\u2019t the Holy Spirit have the \u201cmind of Christ\u201d? And isn\u2019t the Holy Spirit perfectly capable \u201cto convince the \u2018natural man\u2019 of spiritual truths\u201d, of revealing Christ and the way of salvation as well as convicting people of sin, etc. etc. WITHOUT INDWELLING THE PERSON?\n\u201cSo if the Arminian wishes to go so far as to say that prevenient grace does indeed entail the indwelling of the Spirit in some sense,\u201d\nBut why should we believe that? You invented this principle, you arbitrarily stipulated that a person cannot understand the truths of Christianity unless they are indwelt by the Spirit first. Frankly I don\u2019t think that Dominic does much evangelism of actual people. If he did so, he would sometimes find people who do understand the truths of Christianity and yet they have not yet (and may never) become Christians. This claim that people cannot understand the truths of Christianity unless indwelt by the Spirit is simply false, and if you had actual experience in evangelizing you would know that.\nSimple, we are regenerated when we receive new life, when we receive the Spirit, when we are indwelt by the Spirit. Our faith does not produce or cause regeneration (only God is able to give the Spirit and He gives the Spirit when He wants to; note in the book of Acts the normal way was faith then immediately regeneration, but in the case of the Samaritans they had faith and did not receive the Spirit immediately, were not indwelt by the Spirit until later, COME TO THINK OF IT DOMINIC THAT IS ANOTHER CLEAR COUNTER EXAMPLE TO YOUR FAITH REQUIRES FIRST THE INDWELLING SPIRIT PRINCIPLE!!!).\n\u201cBy contrast, the Arminian scheme renders 1 Corinthians 2 incoherent, since God\u2019s knowledge of whom he will save is based on those people\u2019s own choosing\u2014yet they cannot choose without God first having given them his Spirit.\u201d\nThis is laughable. Dominic has attempted to proof text from 1 Cor. 2 to prove the contrived principle that he has invented (that a person cannot have faith unless indwelt by the Spirit first). But 1 Cor. 2 properly interpreted was the apostle Paul\u2019s writing to correct the \u201csuper spirituals\u201d at Corinth (those who questioned his credentials and thought themselves to be spiritually superior to Paul): it was not a discussion of the nature of faith nor the presenting of the principle that one must be indwelt by the Spirit first in order to have faith. 1 Cor. 2 is perfectly coherent without resorting to Dominic\u2019s proof-texting.\nbethyada, on March 20, 2009 at 8:58 pm said:\nFaith in general simply means trust in. In the above context Dominic means faith in God. But what of the disciples before the resurrection? What of Mary before the incarnation? What of the ancients?\nOne could argue there is some movement of God\u2019s Spirit on men, but that is prevenient grace, not what Dominic is getting at.\nSo we make guess that Dominic means saving faith in Christ in his comments, yet we still have the problems of the ancients whose faith, while not actuated till the resurrection, still was a saving faith.\nI think some of the problem would be aided if your order was adjusted to show the duration of events. That is they are not points in time, rather events over time. While they may start at different times, they may also end at different times.\nAnd is it possible that for some the order is different? What of those who seek God as best they can but haven\u2019t heard Christ, yet on their death recognise him for who they were looking for?\nDominic Bnonn Tennant, on March 23, 2009 at 2:32 am said:\nHi Ben, I think you\u2019re quite mistaken about this. I\u2019ve replied once more, but I\u2019m afraid this will be my final response: \u2018The purpose of regeneration revisited\u2019.\nI will respond when I get the chance.\nSeeking Disciple, on March 26, 2009 at 10:43 pm said:\nGood stuff Ben.

        "raw_content": "Schill announces interdisciplinary data science initiative\nThe University of Oregon is launching a new interdisciplinary initiative in data science and tapping one of its top researchers, biology Professor Bill Cresko, to lead its development.\nPresident Michael Schill announced the initiative at the September meeting of the UO Board of Trustees.\nThe cross-disciplinary effort will bring together existing faculty members and recruit new ones across schools and colleges to create new educational, training and research programs at the UO and will be integral to the Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact. Over the long term, it could also lead to new degree programs for students.\n\u201cLike all good academic ideas, the initiative bubbled up from our faculty, deans and department heads,\u201d Schill said. \u201cRamping up the UO\u2019s capabilities in data science responds to the increasing demand among employers and our researchers in diverse fields for students and colleagues who can manipulate data to extract information about trends and populations. It also will fundamentally strengthen our ability to help solve some of the world\u2019s greatest challenges.\u201d\nCresko added that data analytics is bringing huge changes in the ways the world is viewed.\n\u201cBig data is utilized in academic pursuits many people wouldn\u2019t expect, from the sciences to the humanities to journalism and communication\u201d he said. \u201cWe will need to consider large amounts of complex data to address nearly every issue we face as humans.\u201d\nEight new data science faculty members will be hired this year as part of the UO\u2019s Presidential Initiative in Data Science. They will be spread among the natural sciences, social sciences, business, and journalism and communication.\nEach of the hires is listed in the 2017-18 Institutional Hiring Plan. Additional hires are expected to be made in future years as the initiative is built out.\n\u201cData science has been heralded for advancing nearly every kind of intellectual endeavor,\u201d Schill said. \u201cIt has the potential to help solve some society\u2019s greatest challenges \u2014 everything from climate change and disease prevention to consumer behavior and economic policies. This is an example of the kind of research and curriculum development that will help raise the quality of the entire university.\u201d\nSchill told trustees that the UO is in a unique position to maximize the effect of an interdisciplinary initiative in data science because the UO already has significant strength among existing faculty. He also said the UO has \u201cbenefited from a lack of traditional barriers among fields. This permeability is generated by our small size and by the absence of separate schools of engineering and medicine.\u201d\n\u201cThe UO\u2019s liberal arts approach to education will position us to take an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to understanding data science and turning it into actionable knowledge,\u201d Cresko said. \u201cResearchers from every school and college will work together to gather, analyze and understand data so it can be translated into material that will impact society.\u201d\nProvost Jayanth Banavar told the board that the university will work with faculty and the University Senate on how to institutionalize the effort, deciding issues such as whether to form a new department and what sort of degree programs will be established. Cresko will lead an advisory group to launch the initiative and connect the schools and colleges in the endeavor.\n\u201cThis is a hugely important priority for us. There is going to be a lot synergy and excitement, and we want to make sure that our students ultimately benefit,\u201d Banavar said. He noted that the board would vote on any new degrees and that approval also would be needed from the state Higher Education Coordination Commission.\nA number of the trustees expressed enthusiasm for the new initiative. Chuck Lillis, the board chair, noted that there is a great demand and wonderful job market for students with a data science degree.\nLaura Lee McIntyre, the new faculty trustee and a professor in the College of Education, said the program would be very important for the UO research engine, noting that many current federal grants are focused on big data.\n\u2014By Jennifer Winters, University Communications",

        "title": "National Broadband Plan arrives, quoting Shakespeare | Ars Technica",
        "raw_content": "National Broadband Plan arrives, quoting Shakespeare\nThe new National Broadband Plan arrived today, stuffed with goodies like \u2026\nWhen the federal government spends more than a year developing a 300+ page report on national broadband policy, perhaps the last thing one expects to find in it is a quote from Shakespeare's Henry IV.\nAs two rebels plot their assault on the English king, the Welsh leader Owen Glendower brags that he can \"call spirits from the vasty deep.\" The English Hotspur retorts, \"Why, so can I, or so can any man; but will they come when you do call for them?\"\nAnyone can talk a good game about conjuring broadband policy from the vasty deep of the FCC\u2014but can those people actually implement their visions? The National Broadband Plan, released today, drops this bit of Shakespeare on readers at the bottom of page 11 to make a simple point: this Plan is about the art of the possible.\nPerhaps a better quote from Henry IV might be from the lips of the famous comic figure Falstaff: \"The better part of valor is discretion.\"\nThe plan is stuffed to bursting with moderate goods and decent challenges\u2014100Mbps Internet to 100 million homes by 2020, 1Gbps Internet to an \"anchor institution\" in every community, smart grid support, universal Internet service of at least 4Mbps, a national public safety network. Such changes are necessary, important, and politically possible; what they are not is transformative on the issue of price and competition.\nLook at all the competition (source: FCC)\nLess than a page into the executive summary, the FCC notes that the number one way it can influence broadband is by designing policies \"to ensure robust competition.\" In the chapter defining these incredible competition-promoting policies, the FCC notes that wireline ISP competition in the US is \"surely fragile\" and that the data shows \"only limited evidence of price competition among providers.\" The FCC also recognizes that cable is running away from DSL, and in many communities will soon be the only true high-speed option.\nWhat's the solution? Forget the conjuring of spirits from any deep, vasty or otherwise; what we get is more data collection, the call for a new broadband speed label, and several future \"reviews\" of FCC policies on wholesale and special access rates. These could lead to real changes years down the road... or they might not. The Plan essentially punts on setting up any goals in these areas beyond \"advancing competition\"\u2014as we knew it would after our interview with the Plan's chief architect, Blair Levin.\nIt was probably a wise move, in the sense that the Plan would have been savaged (it's already taking incoming fire) had it suggested anything less nebulous... such as the recommendations of its own commissioned report on the subject from Harvard. But the Plan won't have any effect on broadband competition and pricing for years, and it offers few aspirational goals in that direction.\nNot surprisingly, this disappointed groups like Free Press. \"While the FCC does take some important steps toward a new framework for competition policy, many of the critical questions are deferred for further review,\" they noted.\nMore interesting was last week's comment by FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, who railed against recent ISP price hikes (PDF) and concluded, \"When prices rise across the industry, and where there are only a limited number of players in the game, we have to ask ourselves whether there is any meaningful competition in the marketplace. Moreover, when executives from major broadband providers indicate that they will only roll out faster speeds in the few markets where they have competition, our fears about whether meaningful competition exists should grow. If we fail to think deeply about these issues, consumers will suffer, and low-income Americans in particular will be left long behind.\"\nClyburn's key concern was price; little in the National Broadband Plan even attempts to address that concern, but what's there looks good. We'll take a closer look at specific proposals over the next few days. For the moment, here's a high-level overview of the most intriguing ideas.\nInside the Plan\nGet ready for taxes. One of the Plan's recommendations is that \"the federal government should investigate establishing a national framework for digital goods and services taxation.\"\nOpen it up, cable providers. The FCC proposes that video providers be required to install a new \"gateway\" device in subscribers' homes. The gateway would output video in a standard form easily accessible by third-party devices in the home.\nNutrition labels for broadband. The Plan calls for a new rulemaking process to \"determine performance disclosure requirements for broadband.\" In essence, the FCC wants a standardized label, much like those that appear on new car windows and on food products. According to a mockup of one proposed design included in the Plan, such a label would show the actual and advertised speeds of a broadband connection (in both directions) along with a \"star rating\" showing the quality of the connection.\nExample broadband labels (source: FCC)\nMunicipal broadband. The FCC wants to \"clarify the Congressional mandate allowing state and local entities to provide broadband in their communities and do so in ways that use public resources more effectively.\"\n4Mbps for everyone! The Universal Service Fund currently subsidizes voice service across the US, ensuring that it is not too costly even in the middle of the driest desert. The Plan calls for transitioning this fund to a new Connect America Fund that will offer both broadband Internet and voice with \"at least 4Mbps actual download speeds\" to everyone.\n3G for everyone! Much like the Connect America Fund, a new Mobility Fund will ensure that no Americans are left behind in the wireless market, either. The fund will \"ensure no states are lagging significantly behind the national average for 3G wireless coverage.\"\nNational public safety network. As we have reported already, the FCC is pushing ahead with plans to build a mobile broadband network for public safety's use. This will take Congressional action, as the FCC estimates it will cost $6.5 billion over 10 years just to build the thing, with plenty more cash needed to keep it running.\n100 million at 100Mbps. The number one long-term goal of the Plan is one we've mentioned before: getting 100Mbps access to at least 100 million US homes by 2020. This goal looks pretty easy to meet; it's no moon shot. According to the FCC's own chart (p. 20) Verizon's FiOS will pass 17 million homes by the end of this year. In addition, Comcast will pass 50 million with high-speed DOCSIS 3.0 service. Time Warner Cable, Cox, and Cablevision will also roll out DOCSIS 3.0 to millions more homes this year. In other words, by the end of 2010, the infrastructure for this 10-year goal will already be in place; all that remains is the (relatively simple) job of turning up the speed dial from 50Mbps to 100Mbps.\n500MHz of new spectrum. The Plan calls for 500 MHz of newly available spectrum set aside just for wireless broadband. This should be available by 2020, but at least 300 MHz of this should be available by 2015.\nAccess to infrastructure. The Plan wants to make it easier for companies to run fiber and other infrastructure elements. It calls for \"low and more uniform rental rates for access to poles,\" better management of rights-of-way, and a new policy that would only provide federal dollars for roads and bridges if those projects allow \"joint deployment of broadband infrastructure.\" In other words, once the ground is dug up, cities and states should allow anyone who wants to lay ducting and fiber to come in and do so along the roadway.\n1Gbps to every community. We've already seen the tremendous reaction to Google's announcement that it would build a 1Gbps fiber-to-the-home testbed in some US city. The FCC wants to make sure that every city has access to such a pipe, and it calls for 1Gbps to an \"anchor institution\" in every community (think schools, hospitals, government buildings).\nThe level of detail found in the plan is truly staggering. This is an ambitious document that certainly reflects well on those who drafted it. With the single (and important) caveat that it immediately does little for wireline Internet pricing, the Plan does a terrific job of making the case that broadband is not only important but essential. The document's first words are, \"Broadband is the great infrastructure challenge of the early 21st century.\"\nWe noted above that the Plan is more evolutionary than transformative, but one could make the case that the large number of evolutionary steps in the Plan do add up to something more than the sum of their parts. Certainly, if the Plan is implemented in anything like its current form, telecommunications in the US will look hugely different a decade from now. The entire communication system will be IP-based; subsidized Internet access will be available everywhere; wireless companies will have far more spectrum; the government will have funded and will control its own national broadband network; high-speed fiber connections will permeate every community; ISPs will be more accurate about the service they're selling; and smart grid devices will make use of broadband to help cut America's energy use.\nWhile the Plan does contain a few high-end recommendations, its emphasis is clearly on the low end of the market. That's not a criticism; it's where the government often looks to set minimum standards and basic access policies for every citizen. In this case, the Plan proposes a wholesale shift away from the telephone network of the past to a baseline level of 3G wireless coverage and a baseline level of home Internet access. Those are the things that matter now; the old public communications grid of phone service and over-the-air TV isn't in history's dustbin quite yet, but the trajectory is clear.\nWith the release of the National Broadband Plan, the US has turned a corner. The future is packet switched, it is open standards, and it is open networks. Look for deep dives on individual topics from Ars in the days ahead.",

Manolito Manalo Ocampo and Manalo Law Firm\nProceedings of the Meeting:\nMr. Benjamin R. Lopez, Chairman of the AsBAA Philippine Chapter, called the meeting to order. He gave a brief introduction of Mr. Gary Moran and Mr. Max Motschmann as members of the AsBAA Board of Governors.\nThe attendees introduced themselves, stating their names and the companies they represent.\nMr. Lopez then provided background information on AsBAA and the programs of the Philippine Chapter, specifically AsBAA\u2019s project to be conducted towards the end of the year jointly with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). He said that, in pursuing any program or advocacy with AsBAA, the intent is to have an end result that will get the attendees and other operators involved.\nMr. Motschmann gave an update on the meeting held between AsBAA Philippine Chapter and the Director General of CAAP, Capt. Jim Sydiongco, about the proposal of AsBAA to implement the International Standards for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) in the Philippines. He reported that the CAAP Director General expressed willingness to help operators and talked of his plans to form a committee to analyze the present Philippine Civil Aviation Regulations (PCAR) to make the transition from the existing regulations to IS-BAO. AsBAA has formally requested the assistance of the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) in this regard, and the IBAC Director General plans to visit the CAAP on August 28, 2018.\nWith three (3) additional applications from Royal Star Aviation, Prime Aviation, and Navfix Flight Services, Mr. Motschmann expressed the hope to secure more applications to AsBAA from the attendees.\nMr. Motschmann also put forward the idea in which the active AsBAA members will also form their own work committees, composed of individuals with experience working with the regulators, such as the CAAP, which will assist in the transition from the PCAR to IS-BAO, in order to elevate the safety standards on one hand and reduce the costs and red tape for the operators on the other.\nAsBAA has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to be the consultant of Subic Airport.\nMr. Moran then presented updates on AsBAA activities in the region.\nMr. Moran discussed the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE) held in Shanghai, China in April 2018, which event had an estimated 10,000 attendees, including delegations from Subic and Clark, and 170 exhibitors.\nMr. Moran also provided updates on the Southeast Asian region. AsBAA is being established in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand, with the Philippines being the model chapter. The Philippines and Malaysia chapters of AsBAA are gathering momentum, while the Indonesia and Thailand chapters are in the process of getting \u201crebooted.\u201d\nAn AsBAA board of directors meeting was held earlier in the month in Hong Kong. Mr. Moran explained that the members of the board of directors of AsBAA, headed by Jenny Lau as Chairperson, and his fellow Vice Chairpersons, Philip Balmer of Tag Aviation and David Dixon of Jet Craft, serve for a period of two (2) years. There is a Board of Governors, the members of which were appointed by the Board of Directors, with each member having different functions and responsibilities. Jo Yiu, formerly of the Hong Kong Business Aviation Center, and Frank De, Chief Executive Officer of Sino Jet, have joined AsBAA\u2019s Board of Governors.\nMr. Moran suggested that, in making a difference in the Philippines, AsBAA should not take on every problem. Instead, the AsBAA should focus on two (2) problems, solve them, be successful at resolving these problems, and move on to the next one.\nAsBAA is looking into a static display event in Singapore that will grow into a bi- annual event that can be held in Manila, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and other countries in the region.\nMr. Lopez provided the updates on the Philippines.\nThe first event was an investment trip that took place in January of this year, in which around 20 delegates participated. The delegates were taken to Manila, Clark, and Subic, where they were able to hold meetings with the CAAP, Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA), Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), Clark Development Corporation (CDC), and Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA).\nOne of the issues AsBAA wants to bring before the regulators is the side of business aviation or general aviation. For general or business aviation, it is not simply the number of persons that are being transported but it is also about the GDP per passenger inside the business jet. That is the advocacy of AsBAA \u2013 to give a voice to the business aviation sector.\nWhile there are other aviation organizations in the Philippines, Mr. Lopez explained that AsBAA is different because it is focused on business aviation and safety.\nMr. Motschmann reiterated the need for support for AsBAA and encouraged the attendees to submit their applications. He mentioned a proposal in which the membership fees will be effective from the date of submission of the membership and for a period of one (1) year after.\nThere will be two (2) big events for AsBAA Philippine Chapter this year, one day after the other, namely, the Philippine Aviation Safety Day and Pilots Day.\nOn June 12, 2018, there will be an annual general membership meeting for AsBAA in Singapore.\nMr. Moran also discussed the Icons of Aviation Awards. In 2017, this event raised USD26,000 for Orbis Flying Eye Hospital. The 2018 Icons of Aviation Awards will be held on November 10, 2018 in Hong Kong.\nThere is also a Singapore Aviation Week, which is a flagship event for the Southeast Asia business aviation and general aviation sector. This includes the annual general meeting for AsBAA. Last 2017, AsBAA held its first Safety Day sponsored by Bombardier.\nThe AsBAA Discovery Program aims to bring the next generation into aviation by promoting business aviation at the school level, e.g., an international school for children aged eight to nine.\nWhen asked if PATTS School of Aeronautics (PATTS) has an international tie-up, Mr. Jose Valdez replied in the negative, but clarified that PATTS has tie-ups with the logistics community, such as an internship program with Airbus Beijing and an MRO in Japan. He explained that the students are focused on securing jobs with airlines, but he personally is looking at the value of the general aviation sector. Mr. Moran related his similar experience\nwith students who, after having been introduced to business aviation, have become more open to opportunities in that sector.\nFor IBAC, there was a meeting with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) in Shanghai, China, with talks centered in greater representation and greater visibility among the various aviation authorities around the world.\nOn the communications and digital presence, there are considerable potential benefits for the use of various platforms such as Linkedin or Facebook. AsBAA also has a newsletter published monthly, through which members can make its services known throughout the region, and a website, which has been recently updated.\nMr. Serjoel Calminero, from Nationwide Aviation Support Services, a ground handling company, asked what benefits can be derived from being an AsBAA member. Mr. Moran replied that an AsBAA member can get out of AsBAA what it puts in. The benefit is that, if an operator has a problem, AsBAA can provide a forum for resolving it. AsBAA can take a systematic approach to address priorities and bring the matter before the regulators, i.e., \u201cthe voice of the many is stronger than the voice of the one.\u201d More than that, an initiative like IS- BAO, for example, can promote best practices among the members and throughout the region. A member can also get the opportunity to talk to other AsBAA members, and AsBAA then becomes a platform for sharing information.\nMr. Richard Rivera, from Masters Flying School, asked how to bridge the gap from the PCAR to IS-BAO. Mr. Motschmann replied that the Director General of the CAAP gave instruction to make a gap analysis between the PCAR and IS-BAO. AsBAA can submit its suggestions complete with recommended wordings of the regulations. An AsBAA member can have its inputs considered during the process.\nMr. Moran added that meetings such as this, in which a ground handling company and a flying school are present, provide a good opportunity for aviation operators to learn more about what is going on in other areas of the general aviation sector.\nThe other attendees expressed their intent or willingness to join AsBAA.\nMr. Motschmann also said that AsBAA should engage with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Department of Tourism (DOT) to show the government the benefits of business aviation to the economy of the country. The promotion of general or business aviation should be done not only at the CAAP or Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) level but also on the economic side of the government.\nMr. Lopez said that aside from AsBAA advocating the issues that are relevant to the general and business aviation sector, it is also good business to become part of AsBAA. AsBAA provides exposure to people in different countries and provides good networking possibilities not only in the Philippines but across the region as well.\nMr. Rivera mentioned that, in case of foreigners studying in Philippine flying schools, the foreign regulator will check them as approved training organizations (ATO). Mr. Motschmann said that flying schools should maintain their competitiveness through excellent standards, and not by dropping their fees.\nPATTS is interested in the Student Chapter of AsBAA Discovery Program. Mr. Moran acknowledged that AsBAA does need a Discovery link in the Philippines.\nIt was discussed that the AsBAA members can form different working committees regarding their multi-sectoral concerns, and these could feed into the general organization of AsBAA. AsBAA members can then come together before the regulatory authorities as regards these advocacies.\nMr. Motschmann talked about the Philippine Aviation Safety Day.\nFor Philippine Aviation Day, there will be an initial session wherein the fixed-wing and rotary wing pilots will each have their own separate sessions, after which will be the general session. The event may be held at the Philippine Air Force Museum. There will also be a Pilots Day, which will be open to pilots with commercial pilots licenses or in active flying status in the Philippine Armed Forces.\nMr. Edgar Aguilar briefly introduced the Society of Aerospace Engineers of the Philippines. He said that his association holds a national convention every year, with around 200 to 300 participants, including both aeronautical students and aero engineers. They plan to invite AsBAA during the convention to talk about the aviation sector in general.",

More importantly, the project has established an active One Health research partnership in Vietnam. However, he said, challenges such as lack of surveillance systems and the shortage of resources for implementing/sharing tools need to be addressed to enable farmers to better manage these diseases to improve their lives and the welfare of their farms and animals.\nFindings from the project\u2019s research on Japanese encephalitis, leptospirosis, aflatoxins in maize and pigs and dengue which are sensitive to climate as well as public health concerns were discussed. Evidence from the project will inform policy and on-going climate change resilience research by partners.\nLivestock, animal health, public health and agriculture sector experts at the closing workshop of Pestforecast project (photo credit: ILRI).\nThe project team will finalize, in collaboration with the team of CGIAR research programs on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH), two key tools that will be used in identifying CSD hotspots, prediction and target interventions in Vietnam. These include a set of risk maps of CSD and a web-based tool for forecasting disease incidences considering meteorological and environmental factors that influence CSD risks.\nPestforecast was started in 2015. The three-year project in Southeast Asia is supported by the CGIAR research programs on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and A4NH and coordinated by ILRI in collaboration with a wide range of partners including the Vietnam National Institute of Veterinary Research, the Plant Protection Research Institute, the Institute of Meteorology, Hydrology and Environment, the Plant Protection Department, the Hanoi University of Public Health and the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology.\nRead more about the Pestforecast project\nSee outputs from the project\nSee photos from the project\nTags: aflatoxin, closing workshop, encephalitis, leptospirosis, Pestforecast.

        "raw_content": "Home World Africa Africa\u2019s ambitious new biodiversity laws come with teeth, will protect people too\nAfrica is known for its rich biodiversity. On a continent where people depend on this biodiversity for their daily livelihood, the question of how animals and plants that live on it will be protected, remains crucial. A difficult question to a lofty ideal. Making leaders accountable for national endeavours affecting the environment is a good start.\nIn 2016, the 2003 Revised African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, otherwise known as the Maputo Convention, came into force. This is a document exclusively adopted for the African continent.\nWhy has it taken 13 years to enter into force? The most obvious reason is that it contains strong provisions that could create accountability and also slow down social and economic development.\nMuch needed change\nDuring colonial rule, Africa had two regional conventions geared towards conservation. The first was established in 1900 and was called the Convention on the Preservation of Wild Animals, Birds, and Fish in Africa. This was practical and looked at controlling wildlife harvesting at the time. But signatories did not ratify it and it never came into force.\nA second attempt was the Convention Relative to the Preservation of Fauna and Flora in their Natural State. This Convention entered into force in 1936. As the name indicates, plant based resources was included here. Akin to the first convention, the use of animals and plants by people was a primary concern.\nAfter decolonisation and independence a new conservation document was needed, one that looks after the needs of the people. This resulted in the above 1936 Convention being revised with the help of UNESCO and other bodies. It also resulted in the 1968 African Convention of the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, or Algiers Convention. Even though this convention was lauded it did not have enough teeth to enforce what was in the Convention.\nAs a result various attempts were made to revise it. Eventually, in 2003, the Maputo Convention was adopted. It is the first revision of Africa\u2019s environmental framework law in 48 years. This event provides a much needed injection of contemporary environmental norms into African environmental law.\nThe Maputo Convention contains a number of new provisions but importantly it also contains progressive content. The main difference between the Maputo Convention and its predecessors is its potential to enforce the convention. Complementing this is its recognition of sustainable development and the concept of sustainable use.\nAlso, the recognition of prevention and precaution as a fundamental obligation is in pace with the importance of nature as a finite resource. There is a clear move away from pure utilitarianism as contained in the 1900 and 1933 conventions.\nNew and progressive content\nThe Maputo Convention\u2019s strong provisions, ironically, could be its downfall. History shows that regional legal instruments containing strict enforceable provisions get shunned by member states. Proof of this is found in the fact that it took 13 years for 16 member states to ratify the Convention.\nThis may be due to potential accountability as well as a perceived idea that development will suffer setbacks. The Convention includes the right to a satisfactory environment, a right to development and the concept of sustainable development. These are guiding principles that includes modern environmental approaches.\nAnother progressive inclusion is the \u201cfundamental obligation\u201d where parties are obliged to follow preventative and precautionary approaches. They must take into account the interests of present and future generations.\nThe recognition of military and hostile activities as harmful to the environment is also new and progressive. This was not the case in the predecessors and the inclusion is welcomed since Africa suffers from many internal conflicts. According to the Convention, steps must be taken by states to ensure that the environment is not harmed in conflict. But when it is harmed, parties must restore and rehabilitate the damaged areas.\nAcknowledging people and their rights\nThe Maputo Convention places a duty on states to adopt measures that are legislative and regulatory for the spreading of environmental information. There must be access to this information, public participation in matters with a potentially significant environmental impact, and access to justice.\nA final right is given to people affected by trans-boundary issues as it is given to those where the conflict began. This means that people may have access to justice where their own judicial system may not be able to help them.\nThe Maputo Convention also recognises the importance of the people and aims to empower through education and training as well as the recognition of traditional rights of local communities and indigenous knowledge.\nThere is a dedicated section regulating the relationship between sustainable development and natural resources. In so doing, a mandate is placed to ensure that development is sustainable.\nGiving environmental law teeth\nOne of the biggest drawbacks of the Algiers Convention was that it had no power to enforce laws. By establishing both a Conference of Parties as well as a Secretariat for implementation and administration, the Maputo Convention can enforce its provisions.\nAccording to this provision, signatories must develop and adopt rules, procedures and institutional mechanisms to deal with damage and compensation. It can however not be determined whether these bodies have been established yet. These provisions give it the teeth needed to potentially make it a successful and effective addition to environmental law in Africa.\nConsidering that the Algiers Convention remains in force for member states and not yet the Maputo Convention, the efficacy of it remains to be seen. This is especially true in light of the fact that only 30% of African states have ratified the Maputo Convention to date. Some prominent countries who have ratified the Convention include: South Africa, Lesotho, Angola, Rwanda, Chad, Burkina Faso and Burundi. Countries with large and growing economies that have not yet ratified the Convention include: Botswana, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria, Libya and Gabon.\nDespite the uncertainties of how effective it will be, the Maputo Convention is bound to have some influence on African states. It may even become a topic in the African judicial system which may greatly contribute to regional environmental jurisprudence.\nWillem Daniel Lubbe, Lecturer in Regional Environmental Law, North-West University\nPrevious articleAddicted to oil: US gasoline consumption is higher than ever\nNext articleAI like HAL 9000 can never exist because real emotions aren\u2019t programmable\nWill flexible working widen gender gap?",

        "raw_content": "A mysterious medieval skeleton wearing thigh-high boots was discovered in London\nA mysterious male skeleton dating back to the 15th or early 16th century was found in London, UK, according to a MOLA press release.\nIt was found near the Thames River wearing waterproof, thigh-high boots that are believed to be made of leather.\nThe skeleton had been there for 500 years before it was discovered.\nIt is possible that the man could have been a fisherman, mudlark, or sailor.\nArchaeologists in London discovered a 500-year-old skeleton wearing thigh-high boots that is believed to date back to medieval times, according to a press release from the Museum of London Archaeology(MOLA).\nThe skeleton was found lying face down in the muddy banks of the Thames River while work was being done on the Thames Tideway Tunnel, which will aim to stop sewage pollution, per the release.\nArchaeologists are attempting to glean information about the man by studying his remains - namely his leather footwear.\n\"By studying the boots we've been able to gain a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a man who lived as many as 500 years ago,\" Finds Specialist at MOLA Headland Beth Richardson said. \"They have helped us to better understand how he may have made his living in hazardous and difficult conditions, but also how he may have died.\"\nAccording to the MOLA release, it is very possible that the man worked on the river, as his boots appeared to be waterproof and durable. It is possible, according to MOLA, that he could have been a fisherman, mudlark, or sailor.\nMoons can have moons and scientists are considering calling them 'moonmoons'\nWhile research continues, archaeologists acknowledge that they may truly never know the mysterious skeleton ended up at the banks of the Thames.\nStill, this isn't the first ancient find to go viral this year. First, there was the definitely-not-cursed giant black sarcophagus, which was full of undrinkable red liquid. Then, there was the world's oldest cheese, which turned out to be poisonous. And then there was a 4,000-year-old tomb which was converted into a tourist attraction.\nAll totally normal stuff here.\nPeople are turning to astrology memes to cope with the stress of day-to-day life - and it's taking over Instagram\n17 of the most ridiculous viral wedding stories of 2018",

When undiscovered and unchecked, termites can do extensive damage to the structure of a home.\nThere is a saying that goes, \u201cThere are two types of homes in Arizona. Those that have had termites and those that will get them.\u201d While this is said in jest because only a relatively small number of homes actually do get infested, the consequences of ignoring a possible termite infestation are financially enormous. That is why it pays to use a home inspection service that that can cover both the major areas of concern regarding construction issues and safety, as well as hidden issues such as termites.\nAdvantage Inspection Service has providing over 65,000 professional home inspections in Phoenix and the surrounding area since 1988.",

Moyn\u2019s thesis: The modern human rights movement has seriously damaged its own effectiveness by failing to address growing economic inequality over the past four decades.\nAryeh Neier, president emeritus of the Open Society Foundations and a former executive director of Human Rights Watch, disagrees. He argues that inherently complex decisions around how society allocates resources require the democratic process.

        "raw_content": "Saved by a Grandchild\u2026.Once Again\nSo many times our grandchildren say things to us that we think at the time\u2026..we should write that down lest we forget it\u2026..and we don\u2019t\u2026.then we forget.\nNeedless to say, this week I had to have an MRI of my brain\u2026..no biggie here\u2026.just a test. I only mention having the test because of something that my youngest grandson said a couple of years ago was what got me through it.\nNow, I\u2019m a retired nurse practitioner\u2026.long history of nursing\u2026.background in critical care\u2026..cardiac surgery\u2026yada yada yada. I can\u2019t count the number of patients that I have sent down to Radiology for an MRI and accompanied most of them due to the critical nature of their illness or injury. And like a compassionate nurse that I am, or was\u2026.reassured those that were conscious that they would be confined, enclosed, hear some noises and with my most calm and reassuring voice told them they would make it okay and it would be over soon.\nFast forward to having the test yourself. Still\u2026.no biggie I think\u2026..I\u2019m not really ill and I know what to expect\u2026..so, what\u2019s the big deal you think. Everything goes as planned, the technician is not someone I know personally but is very kind and efficient, much like I used to think of myself. He explained what would happen and of course I already knew being the intelligent, astute person that I am, after all\u2026..with my background\u2026really\u2026.you think you need to explain to me? I think these thoughts to myself, I didn\u2019t say them out loud, I was the very nice patient.\nHe offered me a set of ear plugs\u2026\u2026told him I couldn\u2019t hear anyway, that\u2019s why I was there\u2026..he said take them, you\u2019ll hear this. So I did. I got into position and was slowly entered into the machine. Vertigo and hearing loss were my problems, so I figured it best to just keep my eyes shut the whole time lest I get nauseated or anything and I surely didn\u2019t want to have to call out for help.\nThe first noises I heard I though were really strange. I even questioned to myself if everything was okay with this machine. I had always explained to patients that there would be a whirring noise\u2026etc\u2026\nThere were no whirring noises\u2026..there were noises like my head was in a drum and someone was beating on the drum with a sledgehammer! Some noises were repetitive like 5-10-15 beats\u2026..then someone responding in another area with 5-10-15 beats\u2026.some noises were almost science fiction like\u2026\u2026some were like continuous jackhammer noises. Brief, very brief breaks between the loud strange noises.\nThis went on for 15 minutes or more and I felt surely, it was getting toward the end of the scan, but I was just about to lose it\u2026..tears started running down my face and my head was wedged so that it wouldn\u2019t move and I sure didn\u2019t want to move because I knew it could mean starting over at some point and I didn\u2019t want that\u2026\u2026then Matt\u2019s face came into view\u2026\u2026and I remembered him asking me when he was about 5 years old if I knew how to right a bike. Of course I told him, yes\u2026..I knew how to ride a bike. Guess at that point in his life he had never seen me ride a bike so it was a logical question for him.\nWell anyway, he said\u2026..I can tell you how. Now this is coming from a kid who is still riding a bike that\u2019s training wheels haven\u2019t been removed. But he was so serious, he said\u2026\u201dNeNe\u2026\u2026just stay focused, and keep on pedaling\u2026..\u201d So I stayed focused and made it through those last few minutes of the scan. I couldn\u2019t stop the tears from streaming, but I did not move my head because I was focused on this child\u2019s sweet face and his wise advice of just stay focused, and keep on pedaling. They brought be out for a breather and to inject the contrast and back into the machine again for a few more minutes of scanning. And I survived.\nI know the chances of any of my previous patients reading this post is most likely zero\u2026..but I would just like to say to all of my patients that I so calmly, coolly, and collectively reassured that having an MRI would be okay, and that it wouldn\u2019t be too bad\u2026\u2026\u2026.that I didn\u2019t know my you know what from a hole in the ground\u2026\u2026and I apologize!\nMatt, Maggie & AJ with my 93 year old Dad\nPosted in Uncategorized\tgrand kidsgrandchildrenGrandparenting\n\u2039 PreviousPicking Blackberries\nNext \u203aOld Fashioned Tea Cakes",

However I can\u2019t regret a minute of the fun we had this month! HERE is the link to everything I read this month, and below are short reviews of my favorites:\nI really enjoyed this lovely story of a woman who hasn\u2019t been making the most of her life discovering the hidden life of a woman who recently died. What she learns helps her re-think her life choices \u2013 in the best possible ways. Nice, uplifting book. My rating 4 out of 5.\nGifted teenage musician Zoe is about to perform again after a three year hiatus. She was involved in a horrific accident that left 3 of her classmates dead. After a disturbance at the concert and a stressful evening at home, her mother ends up dead. As Zoe well knows, nothing is simple or clear when it comes to situations like this. My rating 4 out of 5.\nAlthough I didn\u2019t love this the way I loved Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes , this was still a wonderful book \u2013 full of wisdom and truth. A must read for anyone looking to change the way they think about their life. My rating 4.5 out of 5.\nDid you read anything fantastic this month? I\u2019m on the lookout for some more recommendations, so please share!\nJuly 2016 Book Reviews",

To that end, our experienced, loving teachers provide the highest quality care and education for infants and children in a safe Christian Preschool.\nWe believe that a Christian home is the most important factor in a child\u2019s development. We complement the Christian family in order to promote the child\u2019s healthy development. We believe children deserve a nurturing, safe, and happy Christian environment which promotes their natural curiosity, play and desire to learn. We believe in the promise found in Proverbs 22:6: \u201cTrain up a child in the way he should go, and when he is older he will not leave it.\u201d\nWe believe that teaching and living Christ\u2019s love, trust, respect, and forgiveness makes children capable of loving, trusting, respecting, and forgiving others. By teaching and modeling Christian ideals, we want children to develop spiritually as well as physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually. We integrate the faith in all curriculums as we want them to grow and develop as Jesus did: \u201cin wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man\u201d Luke 2:52. The curriculum provides our children with a quality Christian education that will help them develop to the fullest of their capabilities and help them to realize that they are children of God.\nWe hire Christian teachers who are capable and caring, and whose Christian values and lifestyle enable them to fulfill this Christian vocation. They help lead their class in the knowledge that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and it is through him that we have eternal life. All activities are centered on this premise.\nWe offer many ways for your children to grow. Reading and Math Readiness curriculums are a part of our focus. We also encourage our students to be engaged in a variety of activities to foster their spiritual, social, emotional, and physical development. Children participate in academic activities, music, art, free play, and center activities.\nIsn't school fun?\nStudents in our three and four year old programs attend Chapel every Wednesday. Chapel meets in our church Sanctuary each Wednesday at 9:30 am. There the children\nare taught about God\u2019s love and care for\nthem, Bible stories, and Christian songs.\nParents are always welcome\nto visit and join us.\nMusic is a special gift, one that we feel should be shared with children. Three times a year the students in our three and four year old classes sing in church for Sunday services. They also participate in our annual Children\u2019s Christmas Eve Worship Service.Please come and see what wonderful, joyful music the children can make!\nWe provide loving childcare in a safe and nurturing environment Monday through\nFriday from 7 am to 6 pm for infants\nthrough 4 year olds.\nPreschool classes for three and four year olds meet Monday through Thursday from\nVoluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK), funded by the State of Florida, is held Monday through Thursday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm.\nAt VPK Wrap parents may pay a fee to have their child attend on Fridays, and for\nbefore and after preschool care.",

        "raw_content": "The Greatest Gift My Mom Gave Me: Dying Before Becoming \u201cA Burden\u201d\nAging ParentsCultureDeath & DyingFeatured ArticlesHealthMindRelationshipsRonna's Blog2 Comments2256 views 2\n\u201cThe only two things that are certain in this world,\u201d my dad was fond of saying, \u201care death and taxes.\u201d\nI\u2019ve been thinking about both lately, but now that tax season is over, I\u2019ve mostly been thinking about death. Not in a macabre, sad or depressing way. Not in a \u201cwoe is me\u201d kind of way for having lost both my parents before their 80th birthdays. I\u2019m thinking of my mom, and how she gave us a great gift by dying when she did and the way she did. By dying on her own terms while she was strong, willful, powerful, able, independent, and still able to tell me I was acting like an idiot.\nOver the last several weeks, it seems like parental issues have been haunting so many of my friends: a mother who can no longer live alone in another state, a mother and father who live independently but can no longer care for each other, a father suddenly passing, leaving his loving wife with dementia. There is a new story every day. \u201cWhat am I going to do about my mother?\u201d seems like the most common question that is asked at midlife, hands down beating out \u201cwhat am I going to do when my last kid leaves the nest?\u201d\nNone of these stories will have happily-ever-after endings. Elderly parents are the greatest treasures and greatest challenges of midlife. Every story presents a unique set of challenges, and there are no easy answers. No parent wants to become \u201ca burden\u201d to their children, but most of the time that is exactly what happens\u2014at least to some extent. Caring for an elderly parent is often challenging emotionally, physically and financially. It can take years off your own life. It can add strain to even the best of marriages.\nBut I don\u2019t have any of that stuff any more. My mom and my dad are both dead, and in many ways, although I realize it is politically incorrect to say so, it is very freeing.\n\u201cYou know, in a way, we\u2019re lucky,\u201d I hesitantly told my brother the other day, \u201cMom and dad are both dead. We don\u2019t have to worry about caring for them any more. That\u2019s huge.\u201d\n\u201cYou\u2019re absolutely right,\u201d he agreed, \u201cmom really gave us a gift.\u201d\nAnd quite a gift it was. My father died in 2011 after a long battle with Parkinson\u2019s disease. My mother cared for my father for decades as his illness progressed, while caring for her own elderly mother as well. She knew first hand how difficult it was to be a caretaker, she could see the ravages of a degenerative disease and what it could do not only to the person affected but to their loved ones as well, and she was going to have none of that. Not for her, not for her children.\nMy mom spent a good half of her life living with a Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a degenerative blood disorder that caused her to destroy her own platelets. For the last several years, in order not to bleed out, she required regular platelet transfusions, which became increasingly frequent. For years, she insisted on driving herself down to Dana Farber Cancer Institute, where she received her platelets and white blood cells, and then she drove herself home. In between treatments, she led a very full life that could be considered active for anyone, at any age.\nBut by 2014, my mom required transfusions every few days. When she felt she had \u201cno life\u201d according to her own very personal standards, she decided to end treatments. Many of her friends and family felt it was \u201ctoo soon\u201d and told her so. I did not.\nMy mom made sure there was a brisket in the freezer and plenty of mandel bread for the shiva. She met with her doctor and informed him of her decision. She told her children and friends. She called hospice and made her own arrangements for hospice care. A few days before she died, she actually drove the hospice worker to Wegman\u2019s (there was no way she was going to allow anyone else to drive) to show her how to pick out the best fresh fish. The night before she died, she yelled at me, \u201cWhat are you doing here? Don\u2019t you have a husband that needs you? GO HOME!\u201d\nMy mom was lucky in that the decision that she had \u201chad enough\u201d was in her hands. But she was also exceedingly brave. Nobody wants to be a burden to their kids, but who among us would be brave enough to actually end their life while they still had life to live\u2026before they actually became a burden? I\u2019ve never met anyone else who lived out her convictions to her own death. It was pretty impressive, truth be told.\nI want to make it clear that I am not happy my mom is dead. I once wrote a post titled \u201cThe Dog is Dead and That\u2019s OK\u201d and since then, if I have learned anything at all, it is that I should never title a post, \u201cMy Mom is Dead and That\u2019s OK.\u201d I loved my mom. But if there is a choice between a. having a mother who is not really my mother in any sense of the word who I would no doubt have to care for, or b. having a dead mother, I would opt for the latter. Sorry, but I would. I hope that someday (not too soon), I can give my kids a similar gift.\nI think I\u2019ll go out to the cemetery this afternoon and tell her thanks.\nThe Greatest Gift My Mom Gave Me: Dying Before Becoming \u201cA Burden\u201d was last modified: April 24th, 2017 by Ronna Benjamin\nPrevious ArticleMy License Picture After 50 Looks Like Resting Bitch Face\nNext ArticleCoping With Grief: Thank You Sheryl Sandberg For Your New Book \u201cOption B\u201d\nApril 25, 2017 Jackie Ruffoni Reply\nDonna. I do understand your family\u2019s feelings about your mother\u2019s decisions nearing her death. Although sad about it too.\nMy mother passed at 66 very suddenly after lung cancer removal after only being diagnosed 1 week before. Afew months after my 2nd baby. I was devistated , still am. That was 26yrs ago. Seems like yesterday. Dad died 10 yrs later, a very sudden heart attack while we were on holiday. Equally devastating. I wasn\u2019t able to be with either of them when they died.\nAs an only child it was hard for me to carry the loss of them both. I will never get over losing them ever. The sad things are they are not here to see their g/children growing up. Helping them achieve their future from their experiences. Also I never had the really get to know my own parents with a chance to talk to them about the lives before me etc and for them to ask their advice on many things. Our children also never got to know them either. It has been extremely sad and depressing without them for the last 25 yrs.\nAs I am 64 now with 2 yrs to go to 66. This is extremely worrying for me. Without knowing/having their medical history to look back over.\nApril 25, 2017 Debra Reply\nThank you Ronna. I like your style \u2013 you express yourself like I do \u2013 full speed ahead. I completely get it, what a fabulous article. I have two elderly parents, each living in separate caregiving facilities, each with their own needs and each depending on me to run their lives. Despite my asking them to do so, nothing was done about preparing for their futures. One day, five years ago, it was like a curtain came down and their lives (and mine) were irrevocably changed\u2026and I was \u201cit\u201d. Talk about a burden? How much time do you have? I don\u2019t plan on doing the same to my daughter and I tell my friends to make sure there is a plan, before anything happens. Many tend to think nothing will happen\u2026\u201dthe blink of an eye\u201d comes to mind. Your Mom sounds like she was an awesome lady. Hats off to her \u2013 and to you. Cheers!",

The stars were aligning, the planets were just so, the coyotes across the road were howling at night\u2026.all harbingers of something that many people go through, but I had not as of yet experiences.\nMy 51st birthday had arrived.\nLast year, I had lived in fear of my 50th birthday. It was a milestone I just wasn\u2019t looking forward to. For some reason, since childhood the 50th birthday celebration meant senility was not far behind. Back then, men who were 50 already had children almost 40 years old, and were themselves being measured for caskets \u2018just in case\u2019.\nMy parents had five children, me being the youngest, and my dad was 31 when I was born. My grandfather had 18 kids, and was 59 when he passed away. I had my first kid when I was 29. Oh, how the times have changed! Of course, people had more children back then, but they didn\u2019t have to contend with PVR\u2019s, Smart Phones, and SIRI. They needed the kids to help around the house and farms (my grandpa would cuff me in the head if he heard me say that). And in my parent\u2019s case, only three channels meant more babies. Do the math\u2026..we have like 3 million channels now, so we just don\u2019t have the time for more kids.\nAlthough I haven\u2019t turned to prune juice (not yet), my previous blog did allude to the fact that my body is already rebelling against me somewhat. My ears now have ore hair than my head. My back has turned into a Persian rug. Things are sagging that shouldn\u2019t, as if gravity had been ignoring me all these years and just noticed that I needed some prompt attention. I now fart just tying my shoes.\nOr is all this TMI?\nAnd so I begin my 52nd year. Some would say \u2018good for you! You made it!\u2019 And they are right. I am lucky o still be here to enjoy life. We have decided to return to Jasper, Alberta this year, once more making the pilgrimage to our home away from home. I am looking forward to Spring and Summer, to cutting the grass on my John Deere. I am hoping and praying that my parents and Anne\u2019s parents have good health. I hope my kids have great scholastic years. And in between all that\u2026.stuff will happen. Some good. Some bad, some great.\nI think I\u2019m ready\u2026.bring it on!\nOut to Posture",

Sadly, the Truth is that Bulgaria is gravely ill from corruption and captured by the Mafia State. That it holds irreversibly the last place in freedom of speech, but the first in corruption in Europe. That the Judiciary and the Ministry of Interior serve murky and oligarchic interests.\nThe Truth is that Victoria Marinova launched recently an investigative TV program, focusing on the grand corruption scandal #GPGroup. That the next episode would have been dedicated to Hitrino\u2019s killer train and its real owners, something that was revealed again by Bivol but censored by mainstream media. The Truth is that just a month ago we were tipped off about being potential targets over the GP investigation. That the police arrested the team we had sent to a remote area to gather evidence of huge crimes with EU funds and of a corruption scheme. The truth is that the Interior Ministry lied very bluntly after this arrest, trying to distort the case through inadmissible manipulations. The Truth is that Victoria was brutally murdered, that her death was very painful and excruciating, and that it was presumed without any reliable facts and evidence that the murder had nothing to do with her work. That the entire state propaganda and obedient media were harnessed full force to recite the motives for the murder and to marginalize the victim and the crime, pointing only to sexual motives. The Truth is that we have never claimed that only a certain lead should be true, but have only stated the bare facts and have insisted on an independent investigation.\nBecause we do not trust our country\u2019s responsible authorities as that have permanently discredited themselves before the public and this is a sociologically lasting process. The Truth is that this tragedy attracted global attention to what is happening in Bulgaria, and that this attention proved to be terribly uncomfortable for the mafia and the establishment. The Truth is that the latter two realized that they are not untouchable and their outrages would not go unnoticed, that the global democratic community DOES NOT OBSERVE their value system, but that of true democracy and rule of law \u2013 the values that are the engine of human civilization.\nFarewell Victoria, RIP, we will keep our memory of you!

        "raw_content": "Cancer Today Nears Fifth Anniversary\nPosted on November 1, 2016 November 8, 2016 by Cancer Today Staff\nWhen the first issue of Cancer Today\u2014the magazine for cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers published by the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)\u2014rolled off the press nearly five years ago in December 2011, it marked a new stage in the AACR\u2019s outreach to the public.\nJonny Imerman, a survivor of testicular cancer, was featured in the Fall 2012 issue.\nThe AACR had already published a lay-friendly magazine called CR (short for Collaborations-Results) from 2006 to 2010. If you\u2019re counting, CR and Cancer Today, at five years each, represent a decade-long AACR commitment to presenting news and information about cancer to the public in a clear, accurate, and unbiased way. Without the support of the AACR, however, Cancer Today\u2019s success would not be possible.\n\u201cCancer Today plays a vital role in fulfilling the AACR\u2019s commitment to educating the public about the complexities of the disease and how research is accelerating progress for cancer patients,\u201d said Margaret Foti, PhD, MD (hc), chief executive officer of the AACR. \u201cEverywhere I go, cancer survivors and their caregivers, and patient advocates, tell me how important Cancer Today is to them as a source of information and inspiration. I offer my sincere congratulations and appreciation to our editorial team for their innovative approach to the magazine\u2019s content.\u201d\nCancer Today\u2019s motto is \u201cPractical Knowledge. Real Hope.\u201d By offering cancer science updates, honest appraisals of real-life issues like treatment side effects and financial stress, and inspirational profiles of former patients who are now accomplishing great things after a diagnosis of cancer, Cancer Today empowers readers to be active and involved in their treatment and survivor experiences.\nFrom 2011 to 2013, Cancer Today had executive editor Jessica Gorman at its helm. Kevin McLaughlin succeeded Gorman as executive editor in 2013 and has worked to continue to raise the bar in editorial and design excellence. In 2015, William G. Nelson, MD, PhD, joined Cancer Today as the magazine\u2019s first editor-in-chief. Nelson, who writes a column in each issue, is also the director of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Since February 2016, he has overseen a 37-member Editorial Advisory Board that includes luminaries from cancer research, clinical practice, and patient advocacy. The board meets regularly to discuss the latest developments in cancer and propose new story ideas for the magazine.\nEmily Bennett Taylor battled back from metastatic lung cancer. She and her twin daughters are featured in the current issue of the magazine.\n\u201cCancer Today seeks to both deliver definitive information about cancer to those who confront the disease and to provide glimpses into future innovations arising out of cancer research\u2014an almost impossible literary task,\u201d said Nelson. \u201cBut the editors and advisers have succeeded spectacularly to create one of the best and most accessible magazines about cancer in the world. I am grateful to all who contribute to each Cancer Today issue and proud to be associated with its mission.\u201d\nLooking to the future, McLaughlin is excited about the magazine\u2019s growing digital presence.\n\u201cIn early 2017, we will roll out a new Cancer Today website that will be responsive and also feature daily updates and more video content,\u201d McLaughlin said. \u201cIn addition, our growing social media presence, our e-newsletter, and other initiatives will allow us to reach even more readers who are hungry for accurate, timely cancer information.\u201d\nMcLaughlin also wants to broaden the print magazine\u2019s presence in the cancer community. By the end of this year, Cancer Today will be distributed at more than 100 patient, advocacy, and public events.\n\u201cOur best-kept secret is that we distribute copies of Cancer Today for free at patient and advocacy gatherings and other public events,\u201d said McLaughlin. \u201cIn addition, we ship magazines at no cost to cancer centers, community hospitals, and medical practices.\u201d\nEditor\u2019s Note: To subscribe to Cancer Today, click here.

        "title": "Race and Health Data: Too Much Information? | CENTRESblog",
        "raw_content": "Race and Health Data: Too Much Information?\nChannel News Asia and the Institute of Policy Studies have released the results of a survey concerning race relations in Singapore. The survey has been getting significant coverage and contains a number of interesting findings, but I\u2019d like to focus on one particularly relevant to biomedical ethics that hasn\u2019t been highlighted in the press: race and public information. The survey found that, in most areas (crime, education, social problems and successes), Singaporeans are uncomfortable with \u201crace-based public information\u201d; the one exception was race in health information, which a (bare) majority of respondents were favourable towards. What to make of this difference?\nYou can see the relevant findings on Slide 19 of the CNA-IPS study slides. Unfortunately, the precise question that was asked is not reproduced; instead, it is summarized as whether respondents \u201cfavour race based public information\u201d in several areas.\nCategory of Information Yes No\nThe type of crime that different races are more likely to commit 30% 70%\nEducational performance of the different races 35% 65%\nThe social problems of different races such as drug abuse, gambling, alcoholism 38% 62%\nThe successes of the different races 45% 55%\nHealth issues that affect the different races 54% 46%\nImmediately, one notices that the responses are on a spectrum \u2013 from racial crime data that is very unpopular, up to health data which receives significantly more support. But no category was wildly popular. This is in line with other findings of the survey, particularly on the question of discussions of race: 66% responded that talking about race causes unnecessary tensions.\nExplaining the difference\nIt makes sense that respondents would identify racial health information as the most acceptable type of racial data. Each of the other categories can reinforce pernicious racial stereotypes: beliefs that some races are more dangerous, less trustworthy, less business-savvy, and so on. This could lead to greater discrimination, as people feel justified (based on national data) in treating some races differently than others. Indeed, the non-health categories focus on factors for which we typically form moral judgments, particularly blame and praise. We condemn criminals, blame failing students for not studying hard enough and criticize drug addicts, while conversely heaping praise on those who do well in their studies and careers. Tying race to those normative categories risks transference and the formation of moral judgments on individuals based on their race.\nBy contrast, propensity towards certain health conditions is not the sort of thing that would ground day-to-day discrimination. Health information will instead primarily be used by physicians and public health officials to tailor interventions to certain patients. In addition, falling sick does not typically give rise to a negative moral judgment. External factors, rather than personal failings, are more typically to blame. There is thus less risk of stigmatizing certain races due to propensity towards certain diseases.\nWe should recognize (as 46% of respondents probably did) that racial health information is not perfectly innocuous. It can in fact be a source of discrimination \u2013 particularly by insurers and employers. If a certain race has greater predisposition towards certain diseases, insurers may charge greater premiums for members of that race to cover the greater expected costs. Similarly, employers may be more reluctant to employ people of a particular race due to the possible need to take more sick days. In addition, while normative judgments are weaker for health information, some stigmatization remains. Obesity, in particular, is often stigmatized as the result of being too lazy to exercise and too gluttonous to eat healthy.\nDoes this mean public agencies should not report race data for any of the areas listed, including health data? Here, I would respectfully disagree with most of the respondents. Identifying issues is a necessary step for those issues to be resolved. If significant racial differences are found in, say, cholesterol levels, there may be a need for new policies or social movements to combat the disparities. This requires both careful study of the problems, and mindful implementation of promising solutions (whether by lawmakers or community leaders).\nOne could counter that researchers and policymakers should have access to the racial data, but not the general public. The researchers and policymakers could craft solutions to whatever problems were revealed by the data, while the public would be shielded from the pernicious effects on discrimination and stereotyping. But there are at least two problems with this approach. One, public engagement and deliberation can be an important source of policy changes or social improvements. This is the idea behind the Our Singapore Conversation initiative launched in 2012. Two, the shielded data would only prompt government bodies to address the problems \u2013 community organizations, patient advocates and other private bodies, which may have effective solutions to racial disparities, would be left out.\nInterestingly, the CNA-IPS survey itself (and, for that matter, this blog post), is an instance of public information about and discussion of race that respondents objected to. We will have to see whether the results do in fact stoke racial tensions, or instead prompt thoughtful dialogue and addressing of the issues raised.\nCNA-IPS SurveyDiscriminationHealth DataPublic InformationRaceSensitivity",

        "raw_content": "Why L.A. Tenants Will Get Stuck With Rent Hikes for Quake Retrofitting\ntags: affordable housing, City of Los Angeles, Coalition for Economic Survival, earthquakes, rents, Tenants\nBy Dennis Romero \u2013 Wednesday., September 23, 201\nWe need to address the threat of earthquake,\u201d says Larry Gross, executive director of the renters rights group Coalition for Economic Survival, \u201cbut we don\u2019t want to create an economic earthquake for a tenant who won\u2019t be able to afford this increase and will likely be displaced from their home.\u201d\nIt could cost up to $130,000 to extensively inspect \u2014 including partially dismantling \u2014 and then strengthen each building. A landlord\u2019s group puts the cost at about $5,000 for a single unit. Under the approved ordinance, owners can pass the entire cost on to renters over a five- to 10-year span.\nGross, of the Coalition for Economic Survival, says that while this is the worst time to allow citywide rent increases, reality suggests $38 is a good compromise.\n\u201cClearly, given the situation where tenants in this city are now mostly paying unaffordable rents, and most are paying upward of 50 percent of their income to rent, we don\u2019t like the idea of one more dollar in rent,\u201d Gross says. \u201cThe fact is that right now the current law states tenants could be hit with upward of a $75 increase and would have to bear the burden of the retrofit costs. One hundred percent could be passed on. That\u2019s a fact.\u201d\nBased on the $38 monthly maximum, the average L.A. tenant would see an increase more like $18, for a range of $1,800 to $3,800 in hikes if somebody rents in L.A. for a decade.\n\u201cThis proposal definitely strives to establish some degree of equity in regards to who pays for the costs,\u201d Gross says. \u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can to try to soften the blow, because we\u2019ve seen the blow coming.\u201d\n\u2190 KNX 1070 NewsRadio Report: Who Should Pay for Earthquake Retrofitting \u2014 Tenants or Landlords?\nCES Exec Dir Larry Gross on KCRW\u2019s \u201cWhich Way LA?\u201d on LA\u2019s Earthquake Retrofit Mandate & Rents \u2192",

I mean I\u2019ve got my schedule, but it\u2019s only half informative on the subjects. There\u2019s Server-side Programming, which seems pretty cool (and useful, for a change), and there\u2019s a subject dedicated to Object-Oriented Programming now. I\u2019ve mostly figured it out myself simply by messing around, doing fun things, but hey, there may be some stuff I don\u2019t know yet.\nAnd did I mention I\u2019ll be getting English? Apparently we have it once a week, on Fridays. I fear it\u2019s going to be pretty fucking easy stuff. If it is, I\u2019ll definitely have to find a way to make sure I can stay absent, so I can sleep a little longer on Friday mornings. I mean, come on, I run a fucking blog, internationally accessible thanks to the marvel of the English language. Why would I need to learn something I\u2019ve already mastered. (Granted, not exactly mastered, but I ain\u2019t bad at it either.)\nBut then there\u2019s the more questionable stuff. There\u2019s PQS, and I have no idea what that\u2019s supposed to stand for. It had better not be another bullshit \u201churr durr planning\u201d subject, \u2019cause they promised me this semester would move away from that for a bit.\nOh and we\u2019ve got another project, as well. The previous one\u2019s barely finished and a new one\u2019s already being shoved our way. Hopefully it\u2019s going to be something fun? Eh, I doubt it.\nWe\u2019ll have to see what it\u2019s all about. Will find out tomorrow!\nI wish I knew exactly what I was taking next term. Econ? More Linguistics? Maybe more psych? Who knows.\nI couldn\u2019t really find out much about PQS, so I don\u2019t have a clue what that is either. If they resort to using an acronym though it\u2019s either awesome, or terrible. I\u2019m kinda surprised they make you take English. You type it pretty much perfectly and from what I\u2019ve heard of you speak it, you\u2019ve mastered that quite well too. With any luck it\u2019s a class full of people who can\u2019t speak much of it and you can wow them with your genius.\n< This one\u2019s for the archives!\nWell this is\u2026 fucking stupid >",

My name is Gabrielle; I am studying Physiotherapy and this is my first year here at University CEU Cardenal Herrera. I come from M\u00e2con, which is a small city in the East of France that belongs to Burgundy.\nCredit: www.burgundytoday.com\nHow does a girl from M\u00e2con end up coming to our university?\nBecause I wanted to go abroad to study and be able to learn another language. I went to the United States two years ago and I lived there for one year to learn English and learn a new lifestyle, and I loved that experience, so I wanted to do the same thing but in a different country: find an apartment, live away from home\u2026the sun and the mix of students from all different countries and this huge and amazing university made me think that I wanted to do Physiotherapy so I chose University CEU Cardenal Herrera.\nWhat do you think about our University? Do you like our study system?\nWe have class on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and then the schedule is divided between practicals, seminars and classes: seminars and classes in the morning and practicals in the afternoon. I think the practical system is really nice because we have two hours and a half in each subject and you can learn more, ask questions and be closer to the teachers; you can ask them whatever you want. The seminars are similar to classes, we work in small groups and we work on case studies, for example studying a particular illness and I think it\u2019s very interesting.\nWhat about our equipment? Do you have everything you need?\nThe school is quite big, so it can be scary because in your first year you can get a bit lost, you don\u2019t know where to go, where the classes are, but it comes very easily and quickly because the teachers are here and you can ask them, \u201cI am lost, can you help me?\u201d, and they will take you to your class, and the same thing happens with the locals. Everything is very well organized, we have all the materials that we need to do the massages, lots of beds and oils, so you don\u2019t miss anything and one important thing for me: we don\u2019t have to move to another place to do the practicals and classes! We have everything we need in the same building, even the cafeteria so you don\u2019t waste time.\nI have heard you live in Moncada, how different is your new life here in Spain?\nI come from a small village far away from any big city, so when I came here and saw Moncada I thought it was big. It\u2019s weird because the people here think it\u2019s a really small town, but I think it\u2019s very easy to get everywhere because it has the metro and it takes you to Valencia very quickly. But here in Moncada we have everything that we need as students \u2013 you can find an apartment up until July, even in August! I think it is the best option to live in Moncada in the first year because you can organize yourself and be more confident, learn how to live in Spain, get comfortable living here\u2026\nOn your degree there are a lot of people from France, how is the relationship between French and local students?\nYes it\u2019s true; we have a huge group of French students especially in Physiotherapy, but I think it is normal because when we arrived here we all got together, as we were in the same situation, we didn\u2019t know anyone, we were all a little bit lost, so we made a great group of friends that I still have today; it hasn\u2019t changed at all over the year, and then when we felt more comfortable and confident about our Spanish we made locals friends, they are really nice to us, show us things, where to go to hang out, cool bars, parties in Valencia and they share \u201clittle secrets\u201d with us that we don\u2019t know, so the relationship between us I think is much better now than at the beginning.\nThat\u2019s great! Last question for you: what do you like to do in your free time?\nI don\u2019t usually have any free time during the week, because I go to school in the mornings and I have practicals or work in the afternoons, but during the weekends I like to do sports, there is a lot of sports you can practice here in Moncada or Valencia, and I usually go out with my friends, go to nice bars, try to have fun because we are busy all week. It also depends on the day of the month: in the beginning you have money, you can go to Valencia and do lots of things, but at the end of the month you have to stay at home and have fun in a different way!\nThis interview was done by Jorge Navarro Rodr\u00edguez, student of 4th year of Advertising & PR\nPrevious articleMuch more than just a job: Why becoming a Nurse is my vocation\nNext articleCristina Velilla: from CEU to one of the Big Four accounting firms",

        "raw_content": "Home / Music / Reviews music / Music Review: Bob Brozman \u2013 Post Industrial Blues\nA recording that utilizes instruments from around the world and from different eras in history to make a thoroughly contemporary CD.\nMusic Review: Bob Brozman \u2013 Post Industrial Blues\nRichard Marcus November 15, 2007 Comments Off on Music Review: Bob Brozman \u2013 Post Industrial Blues 23 Views\nWhile there are plenty of multi-instrumentalists and plenty of multi-national players, it's a rare thing indeed to find a multi-national multi-instrumentalist. What surprises me is that I can actually name two of them off the top of my head. I'm sure most of the world has heard of Ry Cooder by now, but what about Bob Brozman?\nOn his last release, Lumiere Bob played more than thirty different stringed and plucked instruments (from as far away as the Solomon Islands) including a National Baritone tri-cone resonator guitar that he designed and built with the National Guitar company in the United States.\nBob doesn't just have instruments from all over the world, he's been to those places as well, to learn, teach, and record music with some of the most interesting and best musicians in the world. On Lumiere he put all of that experience to work. The entire CD was made up of compositions that he improvised in the studio while recording. He would start with one instrument, lay down a basic melody or rhythm, then proceed to build layers around, on top, behind, and under the original with other stringed and percussion instruments. The finished results were nothing short of extraordinary and some of the most exciting music I'd heard in a long time.\nPeriodically Bob comes home to the music that resonator guitars were made to play, American blues. While I know there are others who play resonators, John Hammond for instance plays a beat up old National, only Bob has gone to the lengths of not only designing and building unique guitars like the Baritone mentioned above, but resonator mandolins and ukuleles as well. His latest blues album, Post Industrial Blues on Thomas Ruf's love affair with the Blues called Ruf Records, sees him armed with his full complement of resonators, and he also brings in friends from around the world to help out.\nFrom India comes the 22 string Chaturangui and the 14 string Gandharvi; Greece contributes the baglama, from the Japanese island of Okinawa comes the sanshin; and from a little closer to home, he uses the Hawaiian ukulele. For someone else they might not sound like typical instruments to bring into the studio when recording a blues album, but Bob likes to keep his options open. Hell he's as liable to use found objects for percussion as anything else \u2013 just check out what he's used on this album: a knife blade tapped on a table (these are actual credits), broken grass clippers, and a broken toy piano.\nThis may not have been an improvised disc like the last one but that doesn't stop it from being spontaneous. In fact, two of the tracks on this disc were written off the cuff in between takes of another song with the microphone open and the tape rolling. Just as unlikely is the fact that two songs were recorded live and on the first take, which in these days of overdubs and massive edits is as much a rarity as an honest politician. (Don't read the liner notes before your first time listening. See if you can guess which ones they are. I was surprised when I found out)\nIn what appears to be something of a switch for Bob, as I've never heard him sing them before, there are quite a few political and social commentary songs scattered among the fifteen tracks. Though, I guess it shouldn't be too much of a shock. If you ever hear him interviewed you'll find he's not the least bit reticent about speaking his mind. Unlike other folk who write political music, the content doesn't affect the artistry.\nYou could never tell by listening to the music of a song like \"Follow The Money\" that he's singing about job's being moved out of America or how Vice President Dick Cheney's Haliburton Oil seems to do what it wants in spite of the laws governing multinational corporations in America. Nope, it just sounds like an up-tempo, raggedy ass blues song. It's a stark contrast to the most powerful song on the recording that follows in it's wake; \"Look At New Orleans\".\nFor this song Bob hauls out an antique as musical accompaniment, a 19th century, seven string, English Banjo. I don't know if I've ever heard so melancholy an instrument before, but it weaves a perfect, haunting, counterpoint to the genuine anguish in Bob's voice recounting the plight of those left homeless by Katrina and the cynicism of politicians. It's also a lament for the country he loves, the United States of America, and he sees New Orleans as a symbol for how she's failing her people.\nAnybody can sing an angry song, a song that's so full of hate and bile that all it does is raise everybody's hackles. Not many can sing a sorrowful song without it sounding trite and sentimental. \"Look At New Orleans\" is a few deceptively simple lines that cut to the chase and leave no doubt as to what the writer believes, fears, and hopes for. If that ain't art, I don't know what is.\nNow you can't be a serious political type all the time and Bob's no exception. \"Shafafa\" is about the quest to be served real food today. \"I want a mom and pop restaurant, that's what I want,\" he sings, knowing that his options these days don't include much without an INC. or LTD. after the name. It's a funny take on a situation that's not very funny; food that's so artificial that you can't even call it by it's real name. (When was the last time you saw a milk shake in a fast food joint \u2013 most of them are now shakes as the closest they get to a cow is the burger that gets stuffed in a bag with it)\nBob Brozman's Post Industrial Blues sees Bob returning to North America to play some fantastic bBlues music on a recording that utilizes instruments from around the world and from different eras in history to make a thoroughly contemporary CD. To me that's the sign of an exemplary musician and gifted artist. To be able to draw upon different cultural influences and the past, and without imitating or appropriating them, incorporating them into a vision that is unique is what every artist should be striving to accomplish. You need look no further then Bob Brozman for an example of this in action.",

        "title": "The Monster Might Be in You: Monsters and Discrimination in Interviews with Monster Girls Episode 1 \u2013 Bobble Anime",
        "raw_content": "The Monster Might Be in You: Monsters and Discrimination in Interviews with Monster Girls Episode 1\nWarning: Contains spoilers!!\nWhen you hear the word \u201cmonster,\u201d what do you think of? Something scary, otherworldly like a vampire? Or maybe a harmless stuffed animal, fuzzy and blue and many-eyed? A \u201cmonster\u201d may also describe a human with a horrifying personality, alluding that an entity like that surely cannot\u2014does not have the right to\u2014belong in the world. If they must exist, they must be avoided. At the very least, they are not human.\nSuch black-and-white thinking and its implications have been explored many times. Tales of dragons slain because they stole a man\u2019s treasure, or children lacking sleep because of \u201cmonsters under the bed\u201d depict the abhorrent nature of monsters with one-dimensional, evil intentions. On the other side of the spectrum, the game Undertale contrasted the magnanimity of many monsters against a human who could, depending on how you played, be much more monstrous than the monsters themselves.\nEven if monsters have been depicted as non-monstrous (i.e., friendly, compassionate, and overall good), this didn\u2019t change the fact that, physically speaking, humans were always humans, and monsters were always monsters. Even half human-half monster hybrids were simply born that way. Boiled down to its core, the \u201chuman versus monster\u201d trope might, depending on the story, simply be a matter of stereotyping and discrimination from both sides. They\u2019re phrases that ultimately and ironically humanize the monsters.\nAnd that humanizing and stereotyping of monsters are what underlie Interviews with Monster Girls episode 1. The human world has finally begun to accept demi-humans, \u201cdemis\u201d for short. These demi-humans aren\u2019t full-blown monsters, but rather humans with special abilities. Succubi, vampires, dullahan\u2014the human-like motifs from myths and fairy tales, and perhaps other types, too, as the show progresses\u2014have been persecuted in the past, but the discrimination towards them has lessened such that they\u2019re able to live almost normally in society. As reactions from the students show, it\u2019s still quite difficult to not be afraid when they see things like a girl who walks around carrying her head in her arms, but at least they try to be polite.\nEpisode 1 takes the humanization one step further, makes it concrete by introducing a set of twin girls. One is human, the other demi. Demi-girls thus appear to be genetically similar to humans, and become demi-human not because one of their parents was a monster, but because of a mutation in their genome. It\u2019s a mutation that could happen to anyone, it seems, but it\u2019s of a gravity far stronger than those that cause you to attain a different hair or eye color. Instead of a color change, the demi-girls\u2019 mutations transform them into a mythical being. Compounded with the perils of youth and high school life, these demi-girls certainly have a challenge to overcome.\nIndeed, the girls have so many varied reactions, both to their environment and in suppressing their inner natures. The yuki onna (Snow Woman) girl collapses because she\u2019s not in a cold environment. The dullahan feels lonely because she\u2019s the only one who carries a head. The monsters may even take advantage of each other\u2019s special attributes, like the vampire who cools off by snuggling the yuki onna because she can\u2019t stand heat or sunlight.\nAt the helm of this show is a teacher who wants to understand all he can from the demi, trying to see things from their point of view for the purpose of writing a college thesis. It\u2019s an exercise that\u2019s anthropological in nature, leading him to ask inquisitive questions, but this does not detract from his role as their teacher. He manages to communicate with the demi, no judgments, while still giving advice on life.\nBased on the title, I was fully expecting the interviews to be like those in documentaries, staged and formal and educational. While revealing, the interviews weren\u2019t like that at all. The candid way the teacher simply asks some questions while completely accepting what they have to say, however, is a much better way of showing how he\u2019s not just interested in academics. He is understanding, relaxed, and supportive. He doesn\u2019t push for too much information. Finally, it\u2019s really great that he didn\u2019t seem to have a hint of perversion in this episode.\nAll in all, the strongest points of this episode for me were the message it focused on, its tiny breakthrough moments when the demi and human students get along, and the way the teacher empathizes with the demi-girls so easily. These aspects transform a cute anime into a cute series with serious subtext. By this token, its female characters are mostly (and, I stress) currently defined by their \u201cmonster-ness\u201d and how their personalities affect how they deal with society, making the viewer pause and reflect.\nOn the other hand, the anime\u2019s emphasis on its overall message may ultimately detract from the memorableness of the characters as themselves. For example, the vampire girl\u2019s cheeriness in all situations is admirable, but not very different from chipper anime heroines in general.\nI hope that this series continues the tone and cuteness set by this first episode.\nPosted in: Anime Episode Reviews and Editorials, Interviews with Monster Girls | Tagged: demi-chan wa kataritai, Interviews with Monster Girls, winter 2017 anime\n3 Month Anniversary, 50+ Followers, and Plans for the Coming Season\nThe Steady Deliberations of ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. Episode 1\n7 thoughts on \u201cThe Monster Might Be in You: Monsters and Discrimination in Interviews with Monster Girls Episode 1\u201d\nNice post. This first episode was definitely different to what I expected and I found it really cute and charming. I kind of expected it to be a little bit sleezy and fairly flat. I also liked how it started to look at the idea of discrimination and some of the struggles the girls have while not hitting us in the head with a moral message. it was kind of refreshing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I look forward to your posts once you decide what you are covering this season.\nThanks. Similar situation here. I heard the phrase \u201cmonster girls\u201d and made some assumptions that thankfully didn\u2019t pan out.\nThank you for sharing your thoughts ! I\u2019ll post a quick update soon. It\u2019s between this one and two others that I\u2019ll probably write about in the coming days.\nHmm.. Very interesting. Maybe I should have looked at a couple of these shows more closely as this seems to be pretty decent from the way you described it here. The last show that promised me struggles with discrimination was A Lull in the Sea, but that only lightly touched upon it. Curious to see if this one explores that aspect a bit more because, while the topic is ugly, it\u2019s something that a lot of people go through and I would like to see anime explore it more.\nThis show came as a real surprise\u2013I\u2019d put it on after series I\u2019d already earmarked since it was also a new release and had clean character designs, but I didn\u2019t expect the show to be so charming and strike a nice balance between comedic and serious. I haven\u2019t watched A Lull in the Sea before so I\u2019m not sure how the two compare, but if you have spare time between all of your anime watching/reviewing, you should check it out! The first ep is cute, and kind, and thought-provoking. I hope the rest of the series continues on that trek, too.\nAwright, awrighhht, you sold me on this one. I\u2019ll watch it today! I promise! Ogoo.\nThanks for sharing your thoughts! It\u2019s great to see a SoL that has a deeper message than expected.\nYay. Hope you enjoy!",

        "raw_content": "Self-publishing a book can be a hectic and challenging thing for many of the upcoming writers. Many people can be on very tight budget and can find it expensive to publish a book, but there are various platforms such as Amazon Kindle where they create a space where the publishing price can be as low as zero. There can be multiple elements that can be important to first off look at before publishing a book. These elements are writing of the book, editing of the book, creating a cover, choosing a publishing name and formatting of the book.\nWhen you decide to write a book on your own, the only cost that can be involved here can only be the software on your computer where you will be typing your words on. Most computers come with an inbuilt word processor such as in the case of any windows computer hence at this stage the cost is not very high. If your computer does not have any word processor, you can easily download the free office software suite like the Open Office and simply install it in your computer. This link has much more.\nThe next thing to do after you are done with your writing can be proof-reading and edit. It can be an essential thing to ensure that you proof-read your work and edit it where there are mistakes to ensure that your work is perfect without any grammar mistakes or other small mistakes. You can do a primary check on your book using the spelling and grammar checker which are mostly built into the word processor on your computer. It can also be essential to look for other specialist firms to proofread your work and help you in the editing to ensure there are no small mistakes. Ensure to double check the book by rereading it and look out for any errors that might have been left out by the specialist.\nAfter you are done with the proof-reading and editing your book, the next step can be to look for a cover that you will put in your book to attract many readers. There are various places that you can search on the internet that can help in designing the cover. Ensure to be as unique as possible and do not copy a cover that resembles another book.\nPlatforms such as Kindle and CreateSpace can help you in choosing a publishing house and entering it. Through these platforms, you can come up with your own publishing house name that can equally attract many readers.\nThe last step can be formatting the book, here, it can be a great thing to ensure that you outsource for the service from the other specialists. After formatting the next step is to upload and publish the book. Go here for more info: https://money.cnn.com/1999/11/03/life/q_publishing/.",

        "raw_content": "Review: Major Pettigrew\u2019s Last Stand\nFull of charm and delightful in many ways, Major Pettigrew\u2019s Last Stand manages to entertain while dealing with some heavier themes.\nMajor Ernest Pettigrew lives alone in the small village of Edgecombe St. Mary in the English countryside. His brother, who lived very closed to him, passed away suddenly and he is left with a deep sense of grief. Having lost his wife only a couple of years before, the Major finds it incredibly hard to deal with the sudden loss of his brother.\nThe local shop owner, who lost her husband a few years before, befriends him. Jasmina Ali is charming and exceedingly thoughtful. She takes him under her wing, so to speak. They enjoy walks along the waterfront, many cups of tea and conversation over books they\u2019ve read. Their friendship is quite endearing and slowly evolves into something more.\nAs pleasant as their relationship is, it\u2019s marred by racial tension as Jasmina is Pakistani and the quaint village they live in, is not willing to accept the possibility of a relationship between the two. Additionally, the relationship is tested by family members on both sides. What was at first charming, becomes quite challenging as they attempt to navigate uncharted territory.\nI\u2019ve heard many great things about this novel but I was under the impression that it was a \u201clight\u201d read so I wasn\u2019t planning to read it. However, it was chosen for the *Indie Lit Awards Lit Fiction Short List so as I judge, I am required to read it. I\u2019m very glad I did.\nAlthough very readable, I wouldn\u2019t call this a light read. There is quite a bit of racial tension throughout the novel. Money is a large theme as well\u2026the haves and the have-nots are present here as well as commercialism, religion, etc. In between all of this is a pleasant story with an endearing protagonist.\nWhat I enjoyed the most were the descriptions of the village and the houses within it. The mention of the grounds, the china, the description of meals eaten and enjoyed. Simonson is brilliant with setting.\nHowever, as charming as it was, there were a few passages that seemed a bit far-fetched and sort of took me out of my comfy spot. Overall though, I enjoyed it and fell in love with the Major.\nHave you read it? What did you think of it?\n*The literary fiction winner will be announced in February 2011.\n2010 Indie Lit Fic Shortlist Finalist\u00a9 2011 Book ChatterBook ReviewFictionHelen SimonsonIndie Lit AwardsLiterary FictionMajor Pettigrew's Last Stand\nPrevious PostSnow in Southern California!Next PostBooks That Made Me Ponder My Little Ole Self in 2010\n32 thoughts on \u201cReview: Major Pettigrew\u2019s Last Stand\u201d\nMary Burton says:\nI loved this book. Love the village,,the way the Major lived his comfy life.\nIt was a very charming book.\nI could easily see Major Pettigrew as a movie.\ufffdI was so charmed by his proper manners and Jasmina\u2019s as well. On the flip side his son was so horrible which made him appear even more pleasant. \ufffd\nAs you know, I loved it too, and also would not call it a light book. But I\u2019m curious about what you thought was far-fetched?\nAnyone that has not read the book just skip over this reply\u2026 \ufffd Skip, skip, skip\u2026 \ufffd \ufffd \ufffd I thought the stabbing and the whole cliff scene were way out of left field. Oh, and the fact that the aunt did not go to jail for it. \ufffd I also thought the party scene much too long and drawn out. The planning part of it I thought was entertaining, but the actual party was cringe-worthy with the play and all.\nI agree about that part (cliff scene) being farfetched. It came out of left field for me as well, but I still loved the book. The writing was wonderful.\nGlad to hear you enjoyed this! I\u2019m just starting today, so only skimmed your post. My book club will discuss it later this month.\nI have been considering this one as I keep seeing it EVERYWHERE!! \ud83d\ude42 I may buy it for my Kindle. I just purchased my first not-free book last night, **The Tower, The Zoo, and The Tortoise: A Novel**, which is another I have seen around and always wanted to read. Have a great day!\nEnjoy your first, not-free book. I have been downloading stuff left and right lately. So easy to do until you see your credit card bill\ufffd \ufffd\nMy local indie handsells this book, so I bought it for my sister for Christmas. I\u2019m so glad to see it\u2019s good!\nYou are right, the village was very charming. But that was overshadowed by my being bored out of my mind with the story. I listened to it on audio, so maybe I should blame it on that, although the narrator was pretty good. I don\u2019t know\u2026I expected to be completely wooed, but ended up just praying for it to be over.\nI would imagine it being hard to get through on audio, just because there was such attention to setting, etc. I like the attention to setting myself, but the party scene would be much too long if I had to listen to it on audio. Long and sort of silly, if you ask me.\nThis one was one of my favorites of 2010. You\u2019re right, it is not a light read, but it is not very heavy either. I was prepared to detest Major Pettigrew at the beginning, but he won me over.\nYou\u2019re so right!! I was prepared to hate him and I\u2019m not sure why. I think I read \u201cMajor\u201d and thought, stickler, uptight, prim and proper. He was certainly proper in a lot of ways but what a gentleman! I think I was expecially taken with him because there seem to be so few of those around these days and he was anything but perfect and he had a way with words. \ufffd\nI, like Sandy listened to the Major on audio. Unlike Sandy I enjoyed it very much. It might be because I love hearing a British accent and the different way they pronounce words.\nYeah, she did say that the reader was pretty good. I think most people like this book but I\u2019ve disliked many books\ufffdthat others have loved so I know it can be a very personal thing to like or not like a book. It\u2019s one of the reasons why my \u201cbest of\u201d list isn\u2019t up yet \ud83d\ude42 \ufffd\nInteresting, but for some reason I do not think I\u2019d like this books\u2026just me.\nI haven\u2019t read this one\u2026yet! It is on my list of must reads for 2011.\nI have this on my TBR list and can\u2019t wait to read it. I have to admit I was a bit surprised that you thought it would be a light read \u2013 I guess from all the posts I read about it, no one had described it that way. Hmmm. Should definitely make for an interesting read.\nI didn\u2019t read any reviews of it because I heard it was a romance and instantly shut it out of my mind. That\u2019s why it\u2019s great that bloggers chose it for the shortlist. I would not have read it otherwise. \ufffd\nI left this one back home so I have to wait til I come back from vacation. Like you, my initial impression of the book is that it\u2019s a light read. The blurb makes it sound like some romance. But I\u2019ll get to it since I have to read it. \ud83d\ude42\nI think I nominated it (if I didn\u2019t I meant to nominate it!) I adored this book. Like The Help, it can be read and enjoyed as a small fiction novel or as a larger, thoughtful read.\nThanks for the review. Sounds like an interesting read. I saw the book in bookstores, picked it up and put it down again. After reading your post, I\u2019m having second thought. Enjoy another year of great reads, Ti!\nI haven\u2019t read it yet, but I want to! Glad to see you liked it so much!\nI\u2019m still on the fence about reading this one, and I think it has to do with that racial tension. I think I\u2019d probably enjoy a lighter book more right now. Maybe when my reading mood changes I\u2019ll feel differently.\ni saw your tweet about this and another blogger wrote a strong rec it, but i still haven\u2019t managed to pick it up. maybe i\u2019ll \u2018kindle\u2019 it\u2026seems so much easier! \ud83d\ude42 little effort, great reward.\nI ended up buying this one for my Kindle last night. Everyone is reading it and I want to be in the \u201cknow\u201d! \ud83d\ude42\nOh good! I think you\u2019ll enjoy it. \ufffd\nNo, I would certainly not call this book \u201clight.\u201d It has a lightness to parts of it and it\u2019s utterly lacking in any grittiness, yes. But, you\u2019re right, there are a lot of heavy themes tackled in this book.\nI really enjoyed the descriptions of the village, too! I have a feeling we\u2019ll be discussing this one even more at length soon, so I\u2019ll wait until then to delve even deeper. \ud83d\ude42\nPingback: The Indie Lit Awards \u2013 Finished the Reading.

        "raw_content": "Jessica Valenti on Sex Positivity, Ferrante, and SEX OBJECT\n(photo by Leslie Hassler)\nIn 2004, at a time when I was learning that feminism was something I could claim for myself, Jessica Valenti was in the midst of launching Feministing, an online community run by and for young feminists. Just a few years later, she wrote and published Full Frontal Feminism, and a number of other books covering a wide variety of women\u2019s issues soon followed. Obviously, I\u2019ve been waiting for Valenti\u2019s latest\u2014Sex Object\u2014with bated breath. I\u2019m thrilled to have had the chance to chat with Valenti about books, bad feminists, and embracing one\u2019s vulnerability.\nSteph Auteri: I\u2019ve always been an autodidact and, when I became interested in feminism, of course I was reading Feministing, Bust, Bitch, Manifesta, Full Frontal Feminism\u2026 all of these magazines and books helped me shape my identity as a feminist. And I feel that I\u2019m now seeing a slew of new books, including your own, that are redefining feminism for me yet again. Is there a body of work that you feel informed your own feminism, and what do you feel are the essential guides today?\nJessica Valenti: One of the wonderful things about coming up on the internet was that there was so much to read. I went to graduate school for women\u2019s studies and read all of the classic texts you\u2019re supposed to, and of course they all impacted me hugely. But what\u2019s been great about doing this work online is that I\u2019ve been able to tap into these newer, younger feminist writers on sites like Facebook and Tumblr and everything that came before. Being informed by the energy of this existing conversation has been really fascinating and really valuable for me. I could name a million people who are incredible and who informed my work. In terms of conversations happening right now, Roxane Gay is incredible and has been really transformative in regard to the tone of the conversation around the feminist movement. I\u2019m also really excited that Lindy West has a book out right now. Of course, these are people I got to know online.\nSA: Speaking of Roxane Gay\u2026 when I read Full Frontal Feminism back in the day, and as I followed the content on Feministing and elsewhere, I couldn\u2019t help feeling: hey, these women are the real deal. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m a good enough feminist. Can I be a feminist and still feel this, or still do that? And then I read Bad Feminist last year and was like hallelujah! In reading Sex Object, I was surprised to see you call out your own impostor syndrome. What are the ways in which you feel you, yourself, are a \u201cbad feminist,\u201d and how do you push past that feeling to continue doing the work you do?\nJV: I think for me, it wasn\u2019t necessarily about any one thing. When you do this work online and you have a semi-public face in the movement, you create a narrative for who you are and what you do. But it didn\u2019t necessarily feel as if I was telling the full story. I would start talking to younger women and they would ask me, \u201cHow do you handle online harassment so well?\u201d And I would think I\u2019m not handling it at all! I\u2019m such a mess! It made me realize that what I was presenting was not the full story, and that I was doing these women a disservice in some way. It\u2019s part of the reason I wanted to write this book. There\u2019s a sense that if you\u2019re a feminist fighting all of these issues, you\u2019re always sure of yourself and you always know exactly what the answer is. What\u2019s great about Roxane is that she really opened up the conversation so that people could see it was much more complicated than that.\nSA: If I could just briefly get book nerdy again, are there any modern literary protagonists that you feel really illustrate that complexity effectively? Do you think there are any novelists portraying this complexity especially well?\nJV: The really obvious answer, because everyone\u2019s talking about her, is Elena Ferrante. I don\u2019t have a lot of time to read for fun, but I made time for those and I just ate them up. The complexity of female characters and the complexity of the friendships she portrays are so heartening and, sadly, unusual. But it brought me a lot of joy.\nSA: Getting a bit more personal\u2026 I find that the things we write about naturally shift as our lives shift. And I can see that arc in your books. How do you feel that the trajectory of your work\u2014and perhaps even your definition of feminism\u2014has shifted along with the trajectory of your life?\nJV: I don\u2019t know that my definition of feminism has changed a lot over the years, though my understanding of feminism has shifted and changed as I\u2019ve been exposed to new ideas and new writers. But becoming a mother has definitely made a lot of the issues more urgent for me. The most stark change for me was having my daughter and realizing that she\u2019s going to grow up in this world. It\u2019s made me think about how I want to explain all of this to her.\nSA: Absolutely, especially in light of the number of sex-negative experiences you\u2019ve had over the course of your life. And indeed, the title of your book places a spotlight on the ways in which we as women are constantly sexualized. With all that you\u2019ve experienced, what role has sex-positive feminism played in your life?\nJV: I think sex-positive feminism is incredibly important, and it\u2019s played a huge part in my life. Honestly, thinking about sexuality through a feminist lens is what has made all of the bad stuff bearable. It is what has made me grow into a better person, I think, and a healthier person.\nSA: Going back to the ways in which women are so often sexualized, I was very much struck by several points in your book where you point out how women tend to prioritize men\u2019s comfort over their own. It rang so true for me. Do you think there\u2019s a viable way for women to prioritize their own comfort and self-agency without forfeiting their sense of safety? Do you think it\u2019s something we should be trying to do and, if so, how would you recommend women begin pushing back?\nJV: I hope so. I want that, but I think what you just said about safety is such an important piece of it. The safety aspect is so dependent upon the situation. It\u2019s one thing to prioritize comfort if you\u2019re not in jeopardy. It\u2019s more difficult to do it on the street if you don\u2019t have a sense of what your safety level is. And I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something we can demand of women. Every woman has grown up being able to assess a situation, and only in that moment can we make a decision as to what the right move is. It continues to be a problem and it\u2019s one of the reasons I wanted to write about it. I still do that. I still prioritize men\u2019s comfort over my own, and I don\u2019t think that\u2019s an unusual thing.\nSA: Shifting gears, Andi Zeisler\u2019s We Were Feminists Once is still on my TBR pile, but I\u2019ve read several interviews with her in which she calls out the commodification of feminism, and the ways in which we tend to call all acts feminist acts, or empowering acts. What are your thoughts on this shift?\nJA: I think Andi\u2019s onto something. I think that\u2019s a really smart analysis. So much of our work\u2014and certainly mine 10 years ago\u2014has been in making feminism more accessible and in making people want to call themselves feminist. Now, feminism is this popular thing. It wields so much cultural power. The fact that people want to appropriate it\u2026 that\u2019s the good news. The bad news, beyond commercialism, is that the label and the language of feminism are often now used in ways that don\u2019t always line up with what feminism is all about. I\u2019m concerned with how the right is co-opting the word \u201cfeminist,\u201d and co-opting feminist rhetoric. As an example, anti-choice advocates have, for years, been calling women who choose to get abortions murderers. Lately, however, they\u2019ve changed their language. They say that they are focused on protecting women\u2019s health. I think that\u2019s the most dangerous piece of this co-opting: that conservative organizations\u2014particularly anti-feminist organizations and legislators\u2014are using feminist language to push an anti-woman agenda.\nSA: Before we run out of time, and for those who are still on the fence about picking up your latest book, what lesson do you hope readers take away from Sex Object?\nJV: I do hope some of the experiences I\u2019ve had will resonate with a lot of people. As for an overall message, I want readers to know it\u2019s okay to be sort of a mess sometimes. It\u2019s okay to fuck up and not always do the right thing. It\u2019s pretty common and that\u2019s okay. I\u2019m concerned about this mainstream message that women need to project a lot of outer strength. I get why that is, but there is also power in embracing the ways in which we are vulnerable and in talking about that and living in a little bit of discomfort.\n#Feminism#Nonfiction#feminism#Interview#jessica valenti#sex object\nNews and New Releases From Trans Authors (Vol. 2)",

        "title": "Emerald: Title Detail: Individualism, Holism and the Central Dilemma of Sociological Theory by Ji\u0159\u00ed \u0160ubrt",
        "raw_content": "Individualism and holism, the concepts embedded in the title of this book, represent two key theoretical perspectives that have for many decades steered and shaped sociological thought. For over a century these two interpretative perspectives have also divided sociological theory into two camps, accompanied by a band of scholars trying to bridge this dualism.\nAccording to American sociologist Jeffrey C. Alexander, individualist theories derive their appeal and strength from their underlying assumption that humans make decisions as individual, free, autonomous, and rationally and morally consistent beings. A related belief is that they are able to express these qualities in their actions regardless of the situation in society or what economic or moral conditions prevail.\nHolistic, or collectivist, theories, unlike individualism, assign primacy to social entities. This perspective is important because it creates the basic precondition through which entities can become the subject of deliberate sociological analysis. However, there is a price for fulfilling this precondition. The emphasis it places on the collective, and on larger entities, logically means that the individual will and free human decision-making tends to be lost from the field of view.\nThis book argues that these two perspectives, individualist and holistic, form the central dilemma of sociological thought. It provides an extensive review and critique of contemporary sociological approaches to this antinomy and examines attempts that have been made to overcome it and unite them. Moreover, the book proposes a new approach to solving this dilemma via the concept of 'critical reconfigurationism', arguing that the resolution of this dilemma is vital not just for sociological theory but also for empirical social research.\nChapter 1. What is Sociological Theory?\nChapter 2. The Two Lines of Theoretical Thinking in Sociology\nChapter 3. Dualisms - Duality - Duplex\nJi\u0159\u00ed \u0160ubrt is Associate Professor of Historical Sociology at Charles University, Czech Republic, working in the Department of Historical Sociology, which he founded in 2008. His research focuses on modernization theory, and questions of time and memory. He has authored or edited more than twenty books.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Statistics \u00bb 26 Great Foursquare Demographics\n26 Great Foursquare Demographics\nWho is the average Foursquare user? It\u2019s a question that many people ask for this unique competitive social network. Foursquare users believe that the world is an amazing place that is filled with amazing experiences. By checking-in with real-time locations, this site has redefined what local search means. They are also attempted to redefine what it means to leave local tips.\nMore than 55 million people around the world have used Foursquare at least once and created over 6 billion different check-ins.\nAlthough people in the United States numerically use this site more often than any other country, the per capita population usage rates in the US is far behind. Venezuela, in fact, is the most popular country for Foursquare use. This is followed by Singapore, Azerbaijan, and Belgium. As you can see, the demographics of the average Foursquare user are more unusual than most other population groups.\nMen [60%] are more likely to use Foursquare than women [40%].\n4 out of 10 Foursquare users are in the 18-29 age demographic, making it the most popular age group.\nOnly 5% of Foursquare users are in the 54-65 age demographic.\n40%. That\u2019s the number of Foursquare users that have received no college education whatsoever. Another 43% of Foursquare users have attended college, but don\u2019t have a degree to show for their efforts.\nThe percentage of Foursquare users that make less than $50k per year: 49%.\n60% of the total Foursquare check-ins occur in the United States.\nThere are 2,000 check-ins per minute on Foursquare.\n50 million brands and publishers have used Foursquare.\nOver 60,000 developers have used Foursquare\u2019s location data for their products.\nOver 40 million tips have been left by the Foursquare community at locations worldwide.\nMany people see Foursquare being a place where rich people tend to gather, but realistically the demographics are split up pretty evenly along salary lines. 51% of people on the site might make more than $50k per year, but 35% of the total users make between $25k-$50k. That might be rich for many parts of the world today, especially when over 1 billion people earn less than $2 per day, but in the US and other developed nations, that puts someone squarely into the lower Middle Class. The reality behind this fact is that Foursquare is primarily a young person\u2019s site. The younger generations have fewer qualms about sharing facts on their movements and habits and this is reflective in the amount of check-ins they make.\nThe Demographics of Foursquare Might Surprise You\nThe percentage of adult Hispanics that log into Foursquare on a regular basis: 13.2%.\n2.8%. That\u2019s the percentage of Caucasians that log into Foursquare at least once per day.\nAfrican-Americans are 3x more likely to use Foursquare on a daily basis than Caucasians.\n35% of art organizations in the United States will use sites like Foursquare for the sole purpose of interacting with their patrons.\nOnly 3 out of 10 mobile social media users are going to log into Foursquare.\n80%. That\u2019s the number of Foursquare users that have acted on tips that have been left by a fellow Foursquare participant.\n2 out of 3 active Foursquare users will post tips about the locations where they tend to check-in regularly.\nMen are more likely to use Foursquare to check-in at travel locations, while women are more likely to check-in at educational locations.\n34% of the check-ins at beauty shops come from male users of the site.\nAbout 4% of Foursquare users will check-in at their own homes.\nThere really could be a dangerous side to using Foursquare extensively. Someone with nefarious intent could track behavioral patterns with this site and be able to predict when a home will not be occupied. Others could use Foursquare to determine if someone is at home because they check-in there. What is unique about these demographic facts, however, is that minorities are much more likely to use Foursquare. Part of this may be due to the worldwide influence seen in the population demographics, but there could be an ethnic family-based element at work here as well. One thing is for certain: this site can be used to let people know where you are and what you\u2019re doing without creating a status update.\nDid Foursquare\u2019s Relaunch Save Its Life?\nThe day before Foursquare\u2019s relaunch, the company ranked #1,221 overall among iOS apps in the U.S. The following day, Foursquare jumped to #457.\nFollowing the relaunch on Android, Foursquare ranks #461 in the U.S. out of all Android apps. The day before, it didn\u2019t rank in the top 600.\nMost users are still unhappy with the overall mobile platform offered by Foursquare, raising the overall app rating from 1.5/5 to 2/5.\nThere were more than 500,000 fewer unique users using Foursquare on a monthly basis in the United States in the first quarter after the relaunch.\nCEO Dennis Crowley reported a 600% increase in revenue in 2013 over the $2 million in revenue reported in 2012 \u2013 or a $14 million total.\nThe issue that Foursquare faces for 2015 and beyond is its transition from a sole check-in fun type of social experience to its becoming a combination of Facebook, Yelp, and Twitter. The added features have certainly made many take notice of what the site is able to provide in informational value, but there is still a long way to go for Foursquare to really be called a success. It\u2019s relaunch and transformation may have saved its life, but as the demographics show, it might be a life that winds up being short-lived since most of the information being shared is widely available on other travel and social sites. There will always be a niche that loves Foursquare, but will that niche grow? Only time will tell.\nFacebook User Statistics By Country and Age\n39 Provocative Twitter User Demographics\nGuide to Canonical Tags SEO",

        "raw_content": "Price Performance Review on Shares of KKR & Co. LP (KKR): Move 13.20%\nAfter a recent market scan, we can see that KKR & Co. LP (KKR) shares have moved 13.20% higher over the past month. Tracking performance over the last 5 sessions, shares have moved 1.12%. Over the last half-year, shares have changed -6.75%. Over the last full year, shares have moved 9.15%.\nTechnical traders may be looking at recent indicator levels on shares of KKR & Co. LP (KKR). After a recent check, the 50-day Moving Average is 21.49, the 200-day Moving Average is 23.99, and the 7-day is noted at 23.42. Moving averages have the ability to be used as a powerful indicator for technical stock analysis. Following multiple time frames using moving averages can help investors figure out where the stock has been and help determine where it may be possibly going. The simple moving average is a mathematical calculation that takes the average price (mean) for a given amount of time.\nKKR & Co. LP (KKR)\u2019s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R is sitting at -22.81. Typically, if the value heads above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. On the flip side, if the indicator goes under -80, this may signal that the stock is oversold.\nTraders may be leaning on technical stock analysis to help with investing decisions. KKR & Co. LP (KKR) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 78.34. Despite the name, CCI can be used on other investment tools such as stocks. The CCI was designed to typically stay within the reading of -100 to +100. Traders may use the indicator to determine stock trends or to identify overbought/oversold conditions. A CCI reading above +100 would imply that the stock is overbought and possibly ready for a correction. On the other hand, a reading of -100 would imply that the stock is oversold and possibly set for a rally.\nTechnical traders often make a point of keeping an eye on the ATR or Average True Range of a particular equity. Currently, KKR & Co. LP (KKR) has a 14-day ATR of 0.66. The Average True Range is an investor tool used to measure stock volatility. The ATR is not used to figure out price direction, just to measure volatility. The ATR is an indicator developed by J. Welles Wilder. Wilder has developed multiple indicators that are still quite popular in today\u2019s investing landscape. The general interpretation of the ATR is the higher the ATR value, the higher the volatility.\nCurrently, the 14-day ADX for KKR & Co. LP (KKR) is sitting at 22.33. Generally speaking, an ADX value from 0-25 would indicate an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would identify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would lead to an extremely strong trend. ADX is used to gauge trend strength but not trend direction. Traders often add the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to identify the direction of a trend.",

        "raw_content": "Madison Bumgarner rode zero horses during the offseason\nMadison Bumgarner owns horses, but promised Bruce Bochy that he didn\u2019t ride one during the entire offseason. (AP Photo)\nMadison Bumgarner\u2019s 2017 didn\u2019t go the way he planned. Things went well enough at first \u2014 he hit two home runs for the San Francisco Giants on opening day! \u2014 but at the end of April, he suffered an accident while dirt biking in Denver. He sprained the AC joint in his pitching shoulder, and was on the disabled list until mid July.\nBumgarner is an experienced dirt biker, and his bike slipping on the trail was just a freak accident. But it brought Bumgarner\u2019s more active (and sometimes risky) hobbies to light. So it makes sense that he promised his manager, Bruce Bochy, that he was extra super careful in his activities this offsesason.\nBochy said Bumgarner promised to be careful: \"Bum's already made the comment that he didn't ride one horse this offseason.\" #sfgiants\nFor some people, promising to stay away from horses wouldn\u2019t be hard at all. But that\u2019s a pretty big promise from Madison Bumgarner. He owns horses on his farm in North Carolina. In 2016, the guy brought his horses with him to spring training, making the cross-country trip to Arizona with several horses literally in tow.\nIn 2015, Bumgarner actually rode a horse on the field at AT&T Park, taking the team\u2019s 2014 World Series banner from home plate to the outfield wall. And *that* made up for when he was denied the chance to ride a horse in the Giants\u2019 2014 World Series parade.\nIn short, Bumgarner loves horses. If he promised he wouldn\u2019t ride one and then kept that promise, he\u2019s serious about staying healthy and competing in the 2018 season. Considering the trades the Giants have made this offseason (the team acquired Andrew McCutchen from the Pittsburgh Pirates and Evan Longoria from the Tampa Bay Rays), Bumgarner\u2019s voluntary horse-less-ness could be the start of something big. It is an even year, after all.",

        "raw_content": "JPMorgan post-Brexit plan hinges on tone of discourse in Europe\nNEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) is grappling with how much of its business can stay in Britain and a lot will depend on how well European Union and U.K. politicians appear to be getting along.\nThe offices of JP Morgan in the Canary Wharf district of London, January 28, 2014. REUTERS/Simon Newman\nIt is still unclear whether JPMorgan, the largest U.S. bank, would need to hive off slivers or chunks of its UK operations after Britain voted Thursday to leave the EU, Daniel Pinto, who heads the bank\u2019s global and investment banking operations, said in an interview.\nPinto and other decision makers will be listening closely to the tone of comments by EU and UK leaders over the next few weeks to see whether they are inclined to \u201cachieve a deal that disrupts business the least\u201d in the exit, he said.\n\u201cThe outcomes could range from a very small change to a substantial one, where you would have to duplicate some of the infrastructure you now have in the UK,\u201d Pinto said of the changes JPMorgan might have to make. \u201cIt is too early to say what products you are going to be able to provide from where.\u201d\nAll big banks with UK operations are trying to work out what to do in the aftermath of Brexit. It is a delicate topic for them to discuss because of the risk that their words could harm the coming negotiations, as well as upset employees.\nChanges will almost certainly have to be made to continue lending, trading and dealmaking across the newly fragmented bloc of countries. There are a range of cities vying to compete against London as a financial hub, but none of them are quite there yet.\nJPMorgan\u2019s European headquarters is in London and the bank has offices in the English coastal city of Bournemouth as well as Scotland. Those locations helped JPMorgan produce $14.2 billion worth of revenue last year from operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).\nIt has 16,000 employees across the U.K., though Pinto said it is \u201cvery, very premature\u201d to estimate how many of them will need to relocate.\nJPMorgan is the world\u2019s biggest dealer in fixed income, currencies and commodities, according to research firm Coalition, and in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote on Thursday evening, it handled record foreign exchange trading volumes. At times the bank was processing 1,000 trading tickets per second, according to a memo Chief Executive Jamie Dimon sent on Friday.\n\u201cConsidering the circumstances,\u201d Pinto said, \u201cit is going relatively smoothly.\u201d\nEditing by Lauren Tara LaCapra and Andrew Hay",

REUTERS/Mario Anzuoni\nOriginal judges Simon \u201cMr. Nasty\u201d Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson, along with winners including Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Scotty McCreery looked back on the highs and lows of the talent show credited with harnessing people power to turn ordinary Americans into superstars.\n\u201c \u2018Idol\u2019 was made for people like me that just needed a door,\u201d said Underwood, who was raised on a farm in Oklahoma and who went on to become a Grammy-winning force in country music.\n\u201cI still hear on a daily basis, \u2018I voted for you\u2019,\u201d added Underwood, who won in 2005.\nThe 90-minute retrospective \u201cAmerican Idol: American Dream,\u201d was broadcast as the TV series prepares to crown its last Idol later this week before ending production.\nOld clips recalled how Fox television took a chance in 2002 on unknown Britons Cowell and series creator Simon Fuller and a format that turned atrocious auditions into mass entertainment, brought an acerbic tone to critiques of amateurs, and handed TV audiences the power to choose the winner.\nBetween 2005-2007, \u201cAmerican Idol\u201d was watched by some 30 million Americans, crushing shows on rival networks. Audiences have now dropped to around nine million.\nAlong the way, stars like Clarkson were born, Americans were introduced to \u201cguyliner\u201d courtesy of 2009 runner-up Adam Lambert, and others, like Jennifer Hudson, were booted off only to triumph a few years later.\n\u201cWhen I was winning the Oscar (for \u2018Dreamgirls\u2019) at the Kodak Theatre, I was thinking, oh, the \u2018American Idol\u2019 final was here.

This thesis examines the military retirement system in light of developments in private sector retirement policy. It also examines the pay structure used in the military and addresses current pay gap issues. Defined contribution plans in the private sector have been increasingly successful in public and government organizations. Examples include the Federal Employees Thrift Savings Plan and Section 403 (b), Section 457, and Section 414(h)(2) tax- deferred retirement plans. These plans benefit employees in retirement by providing them with tax incentives to encourage saving during their working years. The recent introduction of the Roth IRA provides individuals a new opportunity to save for retirement years. The success of the U.S. stock market since the 1970's indicates that saving through a defined contribution plan or IRA may provide income security for retirement years. It is concluded that the current military retirement system may have to be modified to reflect these developments in the private sector. Prospects for reform include some form of defined contribution plan for military members, eliminating or reducing the perceived pay gap, restructuring the military pay system, and improving DoD's financial management programs\nReinventing military retirement \ufeff\nPyle, Mark D.

North Carolina-based Quintiles, which conducts clinical trials and marketing for pharmaceutical companies and \"packages health care data for its clients,\" has a seat on WebMD's board and a financial stake in the company, the Wall Street Journal reports. According to an affidavit filed by Quintiles Chair and CEO Dennis Gillings, the two companies discussed \"potential business combinations\" at a Jan. 11 meeting during which WebMD CEO Martin Wygod suggested that Quintiles should acquire WebMD. The Journal reports that such a move would be \"counterintuitive,\" since WebMD's roughly $3.2 billion market capitalization is $1 million more than Quintiles'. An affidavit filed by WebMD Chair Michael Long states that he suggested in December the possibility of a merger \"as a way of resolving a dispute over the scope of their strategic agreements signed last year,\" including the data-sharing agreement at the heart of the current lawsuit. Last May, WebMD agreed to provide electronic health claims data to Quintiles, which then \"repackages the data for sale to its clients.\" On Feb. 24, WebMD stopped providing the data, citing potential privacy violations. A state court judge issued a temporary injunction the next day ordering WebMD to continue the data flow, and a federal judge is to expected to issue an interim ruling tomorrow on whether the injunction should continue (Carrns, Wall Street Journal , 3/6).",

        "raw_content": "2 Kings 5, 1 Timothy 2, Daniel 9, Psalms 117\u2013118\nIf you\u2019re following the schedule, you should read these chapters today: 2 Kings 5, 1 Timothy 2, Daniel 9, Psalms 117\u2013118. Click on any of those references to see all the passages in one long page on BibleGateway. If you can\u2019t do all the readings today, read Daniel 9.\nDaniel\u2019s prayer here in chapter 9 is model for how we should pray in concert with the will of God. First, what prompted Daniel\u2019s prayer was God\u2019s word. Verse 2 says, \u201cI, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years.\u201d It was his reading and understanding of Jeremiah\u2019s prophecy that caused him to pray as he did. The lesson for us here is that the truths of scripture can lead us to pray. Daniel saw a promise in God\u2019s word that had a time-deadline of 70 years so he prayed that the Lord would fulfill that promise. Likewise, when we see God\u2019s promises in scripture that are as of yet unfulfilled, they can motivate us to ask God to make them happen.\nNext, Daniel began his prayer with praise. Even though his people were in exile in Babylon, he believed that God was \u201cthe great and awesome God\u201d (v. 4), that he was \u201crighteous\u201d (v. 7a), and that he was \u201cmerciful and forgiving\u201d 9v. 9). God loves to hear us wrap our requests in worship; when it is our faith in God\u2019s attributes\u2014specific attributes\u2014that compel us to pray, God is glorified and worship in our prayers.\nThe kernel of Daniel\u2019s prayer, of course, was repentance. He arranged his physical appearance to express repentance (v. 3) and he acknowledged the sins of his nations (vv. 5-7) as well as his personal sins (v. 20: \u201cconfessing my sin\u2026\u201d). This focus on repentance was because he was praying for restoration. God\u2019s purpose in exiling Israel was to turn their hearts back to him, so repentance was the proper response to their situation. While the purpose of our prayers is not always repentance, it is always appropriate to confess our sins to the Lord in our prayers. This aligns our hearts morally with his will and causes us to remember that our trust is in the Lord Jesus Christ alone and his atonement for us.\nMy final observation about this prayer is that the reason for his request was the glory of God. Verse 19 says, \u201cFor your sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.\u201d He wanted the restoration God promised because he wanted God to be glorified. When we ask God for things in our prayers, are we thinking about how the answer to our prayers will bring him glory or are we focused merely on improving our situation for the better. While God is loving and compassionate toward us, his love and compassion will ultimately be experienced in eternity; until then, he allows problems and pain and tragedy and other issues because this world has not yet been redeemed. He is more concerned about the growth of his church and the coming of his kingdom than he is about our comfort, so our prayers should be about the things he cares about far more than they are about the things we care about. Too often we have that order inverted.\nSo, what are you praying about right now? Do the scriptures inform and stimulate your prayers? Are your prayers layered with worship and praise for who God is? Are you confessing your sins and claiming the sacrifice of Christ as the basis for your forgiveness and even your praying? Are you praying for the glory of God?\nTagged: 66in16, prayer, daniel, daniel-9\nNewer Post2 Kings 6, 1 Timothy 3, Daniel 10, Psalm 119:1\u201324\nOlder Post2 Kings 4, 1 Timothy 1, Daniel 8, Psalm 116",

This message follows us having a long, slightly drunk but happy and loving chat about his life.\nDH\u2019s family history is complicated. His upbringing includes some things which, when we talk about them, he agrees were \u201cprobably abuse\u201d, but explains that he\u2019s somewhat normalised what happened to him, and tends to say it totally matter-of-factly, as though this were just how things are. His feelings \u2013 or lack of \u2013 are complicated by guilt. DH was born a sickly child, with complex medical needs that put a lot of strain on the family. His parents divorced partly due to the stress of it all. He did not cope well with his deformities or medical needs and his childhood was a mixture of being a bullying victim, being a bully, having serious anger issues and acting out. I\u2019m sometimes amazed by the wonderful, loving, mentally balanced person he\u2019s become without therapy or help.\nDH doesn\u2019t seem to know what sort of relationship he wants with his parents. He is amicable with them, visits his mother about once a month, enjoys talking to his father\u2026 but he won\u2019t initiate contact, and he gets anxious if, for example, his mum tries to ask him to visit on short notice. At the same time, he\u2019s just naturally bad at maintaining relationships and has asked me to help him keep in better contact with his gran and siblings. He\u2019s never confronted either parent and even apologised to his father recently for being a \u201cdifficult child\u201d.\nAt the same time, the abuse has only come out over a long time in small parts. and by the time I started to get the picture, we\u2019d been together years and had started to build closer relationships with his parents. His mum in particular, who is always very kind and concerned and helpful, and I don\u2019t know how to feel about her, or the FIL, or any of it. To be fair, DH doesn\u2019t isn\u2019t certain how he feels. He\u2019s given me permission to ask his big sis for more info on their childhood, because his memory can cause him problems. She lives abroad though, and I\u2019d feel weird asking by email.\nBecause of his relationship and memory difficulties, it\u2019s my job to help him maintain contact with loved ones. But I don\u2019t know how to do this where his parents are concerned. I don\u2019t want to pressure him to get closer than he feels comfortable, but I also don\u2019t want to be the woman that drives him from his family into hers, as his father\u2019s second wife has started doing with him.\nI\u2019d love some advice please!\nThis statement: \u201cBecause of his relationship and memory difficulties, it\u2019s my job to help him maintain contact with loved ones.\u201d from your letter set off my Yikes-o-meter. Yikes!\nDo not volunteer to be the carrier for his communication and relationship with his family, or to sort out these memories. Do not email his sister. It is only \u201cyour job\u201d if you choose it, and you get to choose to not make it your job.\nYou can be a sounding board.\nYou can be a listening ear.\nYou should not be an ambassador or a manager. And you don\u2019t have to feel any particular thing. HE doesn\u2019t have to feel any particular thing.\nEven in much less extreme situations (history of abuse, memory problems, disability) men sometimes expect that women will do the emotional work of the relationship, up to and including remembering everyone in HIS family\u2019s birthday and buying presents/sending cards/keeping in touch. I think this sets a bad precedent, where his messed up family issues are now something that are the present stuff of your relationship. I\u2019m sure he feels great after this chat you guys had; he just transferred all responsibility for sorting out his messy past over to you and now you\u2019re writing me for advice on how to do it when really HE could write in for advice (not necessarily here, but somewhere) on how to do it.\nThis is HIS family.\nThis is HIS history.\nThis is HIS thing to solve.\nI think it is admirable that you want to help your husband, and admirable that he wants to get back in touch with people and start sorting things out. And I think there is no one perfect way that he has to feel about a history of abuse. It is possible for people to have very dysfunctional relationships as children that grow into much more mellow relationships as people age, get power and autonomy, and create a series of positive interactions to build on.\nBut it is on HIM to contact his sister, sort out his memories, and deal with them (with the help of a professional, if necessary), and keep in better touch with his gran and his siblings. \u201cTerrible at maintaining relationships\u201d isn\u2019t an actual condition, it\u2019s a series of choices that have turned into a habit.\nThe best way to get in touch with people you haven\u2019t talked to in a while is to send a greeting. People love getting mail that isn\u2019t bills, so maybe write a postcard. \u201cDear _____, I hope you are well. I read/saw/ate/experienced this thing recently that made me think of you and remember the time that we _________. (Wife) and I are doing well, here is a thing that is new with me. Have a happy (upcoming holiday, season of the year), Love, Husband.\u201d Keep it light, and remember, if communication has really lapsed, the other people don\u2019t know what to say or how to begin either, and will be grateful for you breaking the ice. Make the effort, say something brief and kind, and then keep sending responses when they respond back. It is honestly that simple: If you want to, you will do it. If you don\u2019t want to, then don\u2019t do it, but don\u2019t expect your partner to magically make it happen for you. Either admit that you don\u2019t want to do it and make peace with that, or work on the \u201cI want to want to, I just haven\u2019t figured it out yet\u201d stuff with a therapist.\nYou can help by dropping stuff in the mail, or picking up postcards, or hunting down addresses, or even helping him come up with things to say, but you shouldn\u2019t manage the entire process.\nThe problem of making an adult relationship with imperfect relatives is not unique to this guy, it\u2019s something we all have to figure out for ourselves.\nMy advice is that your mantra becomes \u201cI am always here to listen, and I will support any decision you make, but I am not comfortable (emailing your sister, sorting out your past, taking the lead on how you interact with your family).\u201d\nI\u2019m sure the community will have alternate perspectives to my initial \u201cAW HELL NAW\u201d reaction, I hope it will be helpful.\nwhisperingsunbeams said: April 16, 20139:14 am\n\u201cDH doesn\u2019t seem to know what sort of relationship he wants with his parents.\u201d\nHow on earth are you supposed to figure this out for him? Only he can do that.\nI think it\u2019s possible that more stuff will come out over time. Now an adult his mind can get a fresh look at things he previously thought was normal and healthy. Or it\u2019ll never happen, only time will tell. It makes me sad to hear that he apologised for being a difficult child. You and I can see that he shouldn\u2019t have to do that! But he isn\u2019t there yet.\nShould he start wanting to deal with his feelings and realise that he was abused, point him to therapy. It sounds like he\u2019d benefit from having a neutral sounding board. As much as you love him and want to help, you have your own feelings about his family and therefore are not neutral. That doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be there for him in other ways, like making him a sandwich of love.\nI had the same reaction \u2013 sucked my teeth and thought that \u201cdifficulty with relationships\u201d should go into the DSM \u2013 and then everyone ever will have a mental illness.\nI don\u2019t want to trivialize the fact that the social stuff *is* harder for some than others, at all, but I wanted to second the cringing.\nYan said: April 16, 20135:59 pm\nFact: Social stuff is harder for some people than others.\nAlso Fact: Just because something is difficult for you does not mean you get to abdicate all responsibility for that thing to someone else. You either work harder at that (and apparently this man can, given that he and his spouse seem to have a working relationship), or you don\u2019t, and you remain not good at doing that thing.\nLW 467 said: April 16, 20139:41 am\nHi Cap\u2019n!\nI wanted to thank you for replying so quickly (wow!). Just wanted to clarify \u2013 we\u2019ve had an amicable, ongoing relationship with all DH\u2019s family the entire time we\u2019ve been together, and see the MIL about once a month and FIL less often only because he lives far away.\nBut thank you so much for the advice. I do want to help, but I understand where you\u2019re coming from that I don\u2019t HAVE to shoulder this responsibility. I would like to, though. I just can\u2019t work out how best to balance the complex issues with my utter confusion about how I should feel about his parents.\nSo when YOU work out how YOU feel about his parents that will dictate the relationship that HE has with them? I honestly think it should be his feelings that dictate this and if he doesn\u2019t know what those feelings are then let him explore them until he decides. You don\u2019t mention if there are any problems happening currently with them.\nPerhaps we are misunderstanding. How much does he want you to control his relationship with his parents? Does he want you to pick the dates you meet up or decide what he talks to them about? How far does this go?\nduaecat said: April 16, 201311:22 am\nI think if you wish to take up this task, it will be better to look at it from a business perspective than a relationship one. You are now his social Agent.\nAs his agent, it is up to you to decide with him what tasks you are being \u2018paid\u2019 to do. You are his coordinator, and his proxy, but you are not him. What he does during the business(social) meeting you set up is entirely on him. His relationship with his family is his own, you just schedule the play dates.\nSo sit down, make a list, and stick to it.\nAn example would be\n* \u201cI will screen e-mails for you, read them, type up a reply, and give it to you to \u2018sign\u2019 and send.\u201d\n* \u201cI will coordinate one meeting per month with your mother for lunch/movies/dinner/sitting in the park/skydiving.\u201d\n*I will keep a calendar with important dates/holidays and a stack of appropriate cards, remind you to sign them, and send them\u201d\n*\u201dI will NOT meet with your mother/father and act as therapist to discuss how she/he royally f-ed you up.\u201d\n*\u201dI will NOT make excuses for you/lie for you.\u201d\n*\u201dI will NOT tell you what to say/how to feel.\u201d\nHe\u2019s an adult. People with Problems get enough infantilizing from friends/family, don\u2019t add to it.\nYou know what, while the advice on how to conceive of this is sound, even that very specific list has my feminist hackles up. LADIES DO NOT HAVE TO SEND ALL THE BIRTHDAY CARDS, PEOPLE. Maybe DON\u2019T be the social agent.\nI know, but I was giving them respect for wanting to do it and how to set boundaries for it. It feels like they asked \u201cWhat\u2019s the best brand of hair dye?\u201d and got told \u201cYou\u2019re giving in to social pressure that you need to change yourself to be worthwhile!\u201d\nThey certainly don\u2019t have to send the cards, or dye their hair, and there are pros and cons for each, but if they still decide to go ahead and do it? That\u2019s their choice.\nI know, I know, no good way to unpack all the compromises, and it\u2019s better to acknowledge it as a job and give it a structure.\nStill, being a personal assistant/social secretary is SOMEBODY\u2019S ACTUAL PAID JOB, not something you automatically sign up for and should be expected to carry out because: heterosexual love.\nAdelene said: April 16, 201311:32 pm\nAutomatically, no, of course not. But I\u2019m pretty sure somebody who refused to do anything for a partner that that partner could possibly pay a third party to do instead would end up with no partners at all.\nglishara said: April 16, 20133:02 pm\nOMG, this so much. I have basically decided that I am not going to manage all the events for both sides of the family. I know my parents\u2019 birthdays, and grandparents\u2019, and siblings. If my husband cannot or will not buy and send gifts/cards for his family, I will not feel guilty about it. If they choose to stop sending stuff to us, that\u2019s a consequence of him not keeping track of his things, not of me failing in my womanly duties. I do tend to be the gift police around Christmas, but it falls in the category of \u201chave you bought stuff yet\u201d and not \u201cwhat do I still need to do\u201d.\nPreach, Cap\u2019n, preach. Also, and not that this is the main issue here, but if I found out an email/letter I got from my brother was actually written by his partner that would not make me feel good *at all*.\nPBnoJ said: April 16, 201312:42 pm\n\u201cI will keep a calendar with important dates/holidays and a stack of appropriate cards, remind you to sign them, and send them\u201d\nI don\u2019t see how this isn\u2019t infantilizing behavior. He\u2019s an adult, he can buy a greeting card. Or use a service (JackCards is offline right now, but there\u2019s ModernPaperGoods.com and many others, you get the idea).\nIt\u2019s not if it\u2019s a negotiated and agreed-on action.\nIf I ask my guy to go to the store with a grocery list and he brings home groceries for me, is that infantilizing me?\nIf he wants her to do X task, and she wants to do X task, and they\u2019re both happy with the situation, then does it really matter if X is Woman\u2019s Work, or Man\u2019s Work, or Gender Neutral?\nTo me, the negotiating and agreeing and consent is the most important part.\nPBnoJ said: April 17, 20132:59 pm\nI was following up on your point about people shouldn\u2019t infantilize people with problems; I said it sounded infantilizing to me to have one person do all of the adult things like keep the calendar, buy the cards, remind him to sign them, send them, etc. and I was trying to be helpful by pointing out that there are services this adult person could use to be responsible for family communication, and keep it from being the partner\u2019s job.\nI didn\u2019t say anything about it being Gendered Work of any kind \u2013 just that there were options other than having the partner do it.\nHe is an adult, but he has memory problems, which might be related to his disabilities. In such a case, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s infantilizing for his partner to remind him when to send cards or even buy the cards for him.\nIt would be wrong to expect *all* women to do that for their male partners. But in this particular case, it might just be part of the give-and-take of the relationship.\nYup \u2013 the memory problems change the dynamic here. It\u2019s not just about gender in this case.\nI wanted to add to mine, that making sure you have a \u2018payment\u2019 plan in place is important.\nHere\u2019s my own agent work. We\u2019re artists and attend shows. We came up with a list of all the work that needs doing, and which tasks we like and which we don\u2019t, and what works well from an functional standpoint.\nI\u2019m the paperwork coordinator. I talk to the hotel, fill out applications, e-mail, and do all the booking. He\u2019s the physical organizer, it\u2019s his job that all the Stuff gets packed and gets there, the displays are built/repaired, and everything is easily sorted and organized. And they\u2019re both tasks that just don\u2019t work well with us both trying to do them. I\u2019d end up running around tearing the place apart looking for the banner, when he packed it days ago, and he\u2019d be frantically calling overflow hotels when I booked the main one as soon as the dates were announced.\nIt doesn\u2019t have to be a rigid 50/50 bean counting, because that\u2019s counterproductive, but make sure your needs are being met because doing 99/1 all day every day with no end in sight will run you down.\nOh, and one thing that helped me a great deal. Make sure you have a clear idea of \u201cCan\u2019t\u201d and \u201cDon\u2019t want to.\u201d Because \u201cI don\u2019t want to\u201d is negotiable and just as valid for both of you. Sometimes people need a nudge to be reminded that, hey, nobody really wants to, but it has to be done.\nFinally, because it\u2019s important, saying it twice. His relationship with his parents is his. It\u2019s his emotions, and their emotions, and as a partner you can do a lot for another person, but you can\u2019t feel their emotions for them! If he gets angry at them, he gets angry at them, if he forgives them he forgives them, and trying to manipulate the situation, even with the best of intentions, is unlikely to be good in the long run.\nI don\u2019t think you need to feel any \u201ccorrect\u201d way about his parents.\nYour feelings might be \u201cThey seem so nice, I find x story hard to reconcile with the adult relationship that exists.\u201d\nThey might be \u201cKnowing what I know makes me feel kind of sick when I\u2019m around them.\u201d\nOr any infinite variation and combination in between. Ambivalence: It\u2019s a thing.\nYour husband may not be the correct audience for you to process your feelings about his parents with, since he is still processing and determining what his feelings are. What is important is a) believing him when he tells you stuff b) keeping his confidences and c) following his lead on what you should do, namely when and if you socialize with them. Would he prefer not to have them visit this year? Would he prefer to keep contact minimal? Would he prefer to keep contact the same and process feelings/memories privately? You can support him in any decision he wants to make.\nThis is a process, not a project that has a completion date of \u201cAdult Relationship With Parents: Solved Like A Rubik\u2019s Cube! Now I can move on to weightier matters.\u201d\nYou seem pretty proud and astonished that he\u2019s become who he is without therapy. But everything about your letter says \u201cIt\u2019s therapy time for husband now.\u201d\nLW 467 said: April 16, 201312:00 pm\nOh god thank you so much for this. Reminder to self: There is no end game scenario here. No finish line.\nMuddie Mae said: April 16, 20131:17 pm\n\u201cI do want to help, but I understand where you\u2019re coming from that I don\u2019t HAVE to shoulder this responsibility. I would like to, though.\u201d\nIt\u2019s certainly a point in your partner\u2019s favor that he hasn\u2019t explicitly asked for your help, but regardless I strongly recommend you resist the urge to actively help manage his relationship with his family. It\u2019s not good for you, him, or the health of your relationship.\nMy relationship shares a lot of similarities with yours. My partner is \u201cbad at\u201d the various logistical aspects of relationship management. He forgets. When we first got really serious (living together and sharing finances) he was in school full time and working part time. He never asked me to take over the various things he is \u201cbad at\u201d and I sincerely believed I was fine with managing our household. I was the organized one, the responsible one, the lucky one because I had grown up in a different socioeconomic class and was already done with college and in the workforce.\nExcept a couple of years later, when he was out of school and had the same workload as I did, I was still responsible for all of that logistical stuff. In fact, he had gotten worse at it, and he had (unconsciously) come to expect me to take care of it. We ended up in a dynamic Emily Nagoski refers to as underfunctioning and over functioning (http://www.thedirtynormal.com/2012/07/02/am-i-helping-am-i-helping/)\nThe whole thing has snowballed into a shitshow where I feel unappreciated and taken advantage of, and he feels incompetent and constantly criticized. We\u2019re in couples therapy now, and I anticipate a lot of work if (and that\u2019s a big if) we can salvage this.\nYes, this! One thing I wish I\u2019d learned early in life is to not take on \u201cjobs\u201d in a relationship that I didn\u2019t want to have forever. Once your partner comes to expect you to do something it becomes extra hard if you decide you don\u2019t want to do that anymore. Particularly when other people see you in this role and expect it too, and your partner totally lets those skills slide.\nPerhaps one way to deal with this is to say, \u201cI want to help you with this, and I\u2019m willing to do X, Y and Z, but I\u2019d like to revisit that in a year [or whatever length of time] and see if we\u2019re both still happy with it or if we need to change the responsibilities.\u201d\nI use the term \u2018precedent setting\u2019 to refer to this kind of thing \u2013 basically any thing that I do or that I let someone else do without comment is, functionally, a set precedent \u2013 they and I can both assume that that\u2019s how things are going to go down in that situation in the future, too, so I need to not let that happen with things that cross boundaries or are otherwise obnoxious. A fairly simple comment can stop something from becoming a precedent \u2013 even just \u2018okay, just this once I\u2019ll let you get away with that, but don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen again\u2019 \u2013 but once a precedent is set it takes a lot more work to stop that pattern from playing out.\nMostly Lurking said: April 17, 20139:43 am\nI\u2019ve just spent the last twenty minutes on a ladder scraping flaking paint from a ceiling.\n(I dislike ladders, but I am no longer \u2013 as experimentation has proven \u2013 phobic about them. My partner has been the person doing this job because a) me & ladders, b) high ceiling, b) partner probably put the paint there in the first place (dear readers: never, ever, ever use \u2018one coat paint\u2019, please. Your future self will thank you.)\nSo while we are both happy for partner to do the bulk of this job \u2013 particularly in the middle of the room/anything involving the top rung of the ladder, a place Where I Shall Not Venture \u2013 that\u2019s not justification enough for me to do none of it at all. Shaking & crying at the thought of doing job = reason for someone else to do the job. Don\u2019t wanna: not reason enough.\nShannon said: April 16, 20132:28 pm\nIt\u2019s admirable that you want to help your husband with his social obligations. However, it sounds like his anxiety is what has led to you deciding to take on this task. As someone who has anxiety, I really do not recommend this approach. You will become a crutch for him instead of addressing the real issue. This is so much more than being bad at keeping touch. There is a whole psychological dance that goes on in his head. You cannot navigate a relationship with his parents for him. He needs to decide what tone to set with them. Therapy can help with this. He needs a neutral professional that can help him navigate his feelings towards his family and how he wants to proceed. What you are suggesting will basically put yourself in between him and his family. Every decline of attendance will become \u201cyour fault\u201d. You risk him resenting you if you set the tone for a closer relationship than he is comfortable with or being put in the position of always having to set the boundaries. You cannot live his experiences for him, reconcile his feelings from his childhood, or manage his anxiety. I know it seems like handing social correspondence or managing his family is helping him but it\u2019s actually crippling to him. He will remain trapped in these ambiguous feelings and become less able to handle social situations or crisis because he has put that burden on you. It\u2019s not fair to him OR you. Best case scenario he becomes completely dependent on you in this area. Worst case scenario he will end up resenting you and possibly damage the relationship. Encourage him to seek counseling.\nThis is excellent advice. \u201cBad at keeping in touch\u201d might apply in a perfectly healthy family situation (is there such a thing?) but in this case it sounds like a euphemism for \u201cmaybe not wanting a close relationship but feeling guilty if he doesn\u2019t.\u201d He really needs to sort through those feelings for himself, preferably with someone trained in this kind of thing.\nM Dubz said: April 16, 20136:24 pm\nI also wanted to mention that you are allowed to have a relationship with these people separate from your husbands\u2019. If you are very invested, for example, in maintaining contact with his sister or grandmother because you enjoy their recipe advice/ hilarious gab sessions, you should feel free to go for it! And if right now you are having some trouble around seeing his parents regularly, it is fine for him to maintain closer contact while you maintain some distance. In my family, my mother is good friends with my dad\u2019s sister and often hangs out with her without my dad. Conversely, my dad doesn\u2019t like to spend much time with one of my mom\u2019s sisters, and she\u2019ll sometimes see that sister without my dad. But both parents are okay with that.\nBased on what you wrote about how your husband, it sounds like he is fighting a war in his head between setting boundaries that will work for him and being the \u201cgood son.\u201d And if he\u2019s anything like me, he\u2019s experiencing some serious anxiety around that. He needs to work through that anxiety on his own/ with a mental health professional rather than with you, or he\u2019ll be tied up in a dance of obligation that will now include you as well as his own feelings of guilt and whatever burdens his parents are putting on him. It is kinder for him if you give him the space to figure it out on his own.\nTLDR: The fastest way for your husband to normalize relationships with his parents is to figure it out himself, and you don\u2019t necessarily need to be a 100% united front that sees them equal amounts.\nI agree with this except for having too-cordial relationships with people who have hurt him, if he and they have not worked things through, where your having that relationship seems like you\u2019re saying what they did to him was no big deal, or makes him feel like the odd one out and everyone else is chums in denying his reality.\nNo, spouses don\u2019t generally get to veto each other\u2019s friends, but when it comes to his family, his needs should take priority over your wants because this stuff is so much more vital and visceral to him.\nYes, when I first met my longtime BF he wanted to meet my family. I\u2019d just tried to break contact the first time but did it for his sake. I didn\u2019t want to seem like the weird girl without family. It was a big clusterfuck emotionally. They acted fine towards him which made him question some of the things I\u2019d said and gave me a big ball of needles in my stomach. Eventually I cut off contact for reeelz not caring about my BF\u2019s opinion and since then he\u2019s unfortunately had several occassions to see the real side of things. That has given him his own anger at their behaviour to deal with. We deal differently with family encounters. I escape asap. He want\u2019s to stay and confront them. He can do that while I\u2019m in therapy or venting to some of my police friends.\nShannon said: April 18, 201311:12 am\nYep, when dealing with a sig other\u2019s family, it\u2019s best to trust their experience happened as they say it did. There are so many underlying nuances in family dynamics an outsider will not pick them up. My grandmother was a mean abusive drunk but she was just a peach to strangers. At the memorial service all these strangers and acquiantences went on and on about how lovely she was. I had nothing positive to say about her. She abandoned her children for weeks at a time, neglected them, beat them, made their adult lives hell. A less offensive example, shortly after my grandparents divorced my grandmother sent a bunch of drunken sailors to the house that her children were living in alone(my grandfather worked off shore and my mom and sister were 14 and 16 at the time) and had them STEAL her kid\u2019s air conditioner. Drunken grown men showing up in the middle of the night, in August, in Florida. Even though I wasn\u2019t present for the worst of it in her early years the legacy she left still lingers.\nI had the same reaction, especially since Mr. LW doesn\u2019t know what kind of relationship he wants \u2013 so how is LW supposed to contact his family, deal with them, etc. in the way that is best for her husband? She won\u2019t know whether her actions are helpful or not until AFTER she does it, and now the emotional responsibility for \u201cthat interaction hurt my emotional state\u201d has been offloaded onto her.\nI doubt Mr. LW is doing this on purpose, but it\u2019s still unfair and selfish.\nDINGDINGDING. You don\u2019t want to be caught between your partner and his parents. That is the last thing you want.\nGrouchyABD said: April 16, 20139:46 am\nI\u2019ve tried exactly twice to be the point person for my husband with his extremely difficult parents. Both times were periods of major crisis for both of us, and I still think our reasons for trying that approach were good ones. That said, I\u2019d never do it again, and neither ended at all well.\nThis may not be the case for the LW, but sometimes family will not understand the reasons someone else is trying to help. It\u2019s very difficult to have to say to someone, \u201cOh, yes, your child doesn\u2019t like it when you do X\u201d because most parents are attached to the idea that they know something about their offspring\u2019s needs (and correspondingly will need some time to adjust to the fact that they have knowledge gaps due to having an adult child). In my experience, that whole adjustment process is even harder for everyone when the potential hurt feelings can be accompanied by a \u201cwhy is this outsider telling me this/why didn\u2019t he tell me himself?\u201d\nThe approach I take now is, \u201cit sounds like you want a script/some help managing this upcoming interaction. Think about what you want out of it and come up with a draft version, I\u2019ll \u2018proof\u2019 it, and then we\u2019ll see where we are.\u201d I\u2019m much more comfortable as the editor/sounding board than the actual generator of content. It has not made the difficult family relationships any better, but my marriage is way better, which is the most important thing.\nActing as editor of letters and helping with drafts sounds like a really useful thing. It is also a thing a good therapist (and I agree with everyone saying a therapist is in order) would be able to do. LW, maybe something practical you could do would be to buy cards, envelopes and stamps, find the relevant addresses and put them together? That way, you get to satisfy your desire to help your husband communicate with his family without actually managing the content of the interaction. That\u2019s something I feel strongly is better left to your husband and a mental health professional (who can help him work out what he wants to do far better than you, with your investments in the situation, are able to do).\n\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult to have to say to someone, \u201cOh, yes, your child doesn\u2019t like it when you do X\u201d \u201d\nYup. This is why I just *won\u2019t* be saying that, even though it might need to be said. Spouse\u2019s family issue are his to deal with (and fortunately we both get that, about our respective families).\nFrankly, given the relationship with my parents (and family as an absolute whole), I wouldn\u2019t want my hypothetical partner to feel as if he has aaaaaaany pressure or obligation from me to have a relationship with his family.\nI thought your advice was spot-on. The LW\u2019s basic premise \u2013 that she has to be the water carrier for his interpersonal relationships because REASONS \u2013 really makes me cringe. I did, once during a very finite period of time in which I was hospitalized, ask my boyfriend to run interference between my mother and me, and he did, and it was very helpful, but that\u2019s very different from saying \u201cOkay, YOU manage it, using your psychic powers to divine what I want/need from my family.\u201d I have relationship and memory issues too \u2013 boy, do I ever have the World\u2019s Worst Memory \u2013 but it\u2019s not appropriate for me to make my significant other my designated social secretary. I\u2019d like to see my boyfriend have closer contact with his family because I like them, and remember to do things like send his sister a danged wedding gift, but if it\u2019s important to him he\u2019ll do it. It\u2019s not my job to do it.\nJiggs said: April 16, 201310:07 am\nRight? If you have a terrible memory, this is why god gave us cell phone alarms. Setting up a biweekly alert to call your mom or something is not exactly hard, undoable work.\nVe said: April 17, 20132:16 am\nI didn\u2019t have a cell phone for months last year and currently have a very inexpensive prepaid phone\u2026not having a cell phone alarm/alert has easily been one of the worst parts about it.\nallreb said: April 16, 201310:22 am\nYeah. My mom recently had a stroke *while she was having brain surgery* and the aftermath was not pretty. My large, loving family is also very interfering and were not helping any. She asked me to please handle them for her (especially her father who had very vehement opinions on her medical care) so I did \u2013 but me managing the family for her for a week was a VERY VERY different situation than someone saying \u201cThis stresses me out, so here, you do it indefinitely, and not only will you please do it for me, but I\u2019m not even going to tell you what I want you to achieve.\u201d\nI have no doubt that the LW wants to help her DH with issues that are causing anxiety and confusion and take some of the pressure of dealing with things off of him. That is a lovely and supportive thing to want to do for your partner! But unfortunately, he\u2019s the only one who can untangle how he feels and achieve the relationships he wants. What the LW *can* do is give him that safe space to do that untanging by talking when he wants to, accepting when he doesn\u2019t, and supporting and validating whatever he *does* feel. And if he gets to a point where he knows what he wants to do with his family, by respecting and supporting that, whether it\u2019s \u201cbe chill about it and be friendly\u201d or \u201cnever see them again\u201d or whatever. Specifics like \u201ccan I use you as an excuse to not visit spur of the moment?\u201d would be much easier on both of you than \u201cfigure out how I feel and what I should do about it and then do those things for me.\u201d\nCommander Banana said: April 16, 201310:39 am\nOh, man \u2013 I hope she\u2019s recovering well. I was having trouble articulating it, but I guess my perspective is that when you\u2019re in a relationship it should be a partnership, and sometimes that means telling your partner \u201cI can\u2019t do X, I need help with X,\u201d because partnerships are about both members of the team using their strengths and capabilities together. So, when I go to dinner with my parents and my significant other I sometimes have to say, hey, I may need your help deflecting my mom or changing the subject when she says X or Y, but that\u2019s a really specific need and it\u2019s something he can do without having to try to read my mind or manage my relationship with her. I think the LW probably has the tendency to swoop in and Fix All The Things, which I guess is admirable, but robs her husband of the chance to learn how to navigate his relationship with his parents in a way that\u2019s healthy and works for him.\nI want to zoom in on the key point of what you\u2019re saying: there\u2019s a big difference between \u201cI need help with X\u201d and \u201cDo X for me.\u201d Let\u2019s focus on ways for LW to help Mr. LW in an empowering, capacity-building sort of way.\nallreb said: April 16, 20133:09 pm\nI think we\u2019re trying to say roughly the same things. \ud83d\ude42 I get the same Fix All The Things vibe from the LW, but that isn\u2019t really feasible, especially when one of those things is \u201cI haven\u2019t figured out how I feel.\u201d That\u2019s why I think that actual concrete requests (\u201cWhen my mom does X, can you please step in with Y?\u201d or \u201cI\u2019m not sure how I feel about Z, can we discuss it?\u201d) are much more reasonable all around. It\u2019s still giving support and help and love, while letting the partner having the issue figure how to deal with the issue himself.\n(My original response was bouncing off the idea of the difference between \u201cI\u2019m in charge of handling his relationships because of reasons,\u201d and \u201cWhile something big is going down, I\u2019ve asked/been asked to handle relationships.\u201d)\n(Also thanks, my mom is indeed doing pretty darned well, all things considered.)\nshinobi42 said: April 16, 20139:49 am\nIt is often hard to find the line between helping someone, and doing it for them. The problem with doing it for them is that they will miss out on all the great learning and growth that comes along with the stress and anxiety of actually doing things.\nOf course he doesn\u2019t want to, or feel capable of initiating this contact with his family. Hell, I\u2019m close to my family and I have been procrastinating on contacting them for about a week now. Maintaining and managing relationships is work even if you don\u2019t have tons of baggage. So I\u2019m sure the idea of someone else doing that work is great.\nBut that wont be him having any kind of relationship with his family, that will be you, having that relationship.\nIf your husband decides its too much work to try to maintain relationships with his family, and ends up being closer to your family, that\u2019s his choice and his decision. It\u2019s not that you are a controlling wife pulling him away, it\u2019s that you\u2019re proactively engaged with your family and he is making the choice not to be.\nJiggs said: April 16, 20139:51 am\nOh boy, LW, do I ever know how you feel. Boundaries! You need them! (And so did/do I.)\nProbably since the beginning of my relationship with my husband, I\u2019ve had pretty awful boundaries. I\u2019ve taken on so many things that weren\u2019t my job, that weren\u2019t even negotiated to be my job, because he \u201cwasn\u2019t capable\u201d of doing them. Finances, job hunting, resume and cover letter writing, making sure he had spending money at all times (finances part 2!), making sure his life goals happen\u2026 Let me tell you now, this road leads to Resentmentville, and its suburb St. Desperate Counselling.\nIt\u2019s so important to draw a clear line between what is doing your part for the relationship and what is managing someone else\u2019s life. You cannot manage two lives! It is exhausting, and you almost never get a break because the other person has no consequences for not doing this tough work themselves. I spent so much time insulating my husband from consequences, protecting him from running out of money, not getting an interview, not getting something done on time and so much more. All it did for him was train him not to bother taking care of his life, because I would. (Increasingly resentfully.)\nNow, I put down firm boundaries about what I will and won\u2019t do. Instead of, \u201cWe need to go to the passport office! I\u2019ll fill out your form!\u201d I say, \u201cI\u2019m going to the passport office Monday, let me know if you want to tag along.\u201d If his form isn\u2019t complete, he has to bus there at some point and figure it out. Guess what? The form was done on time. Turns out he\u2019s completely capable of running his own life, I just had to get out of the way. And suddenly, I had room for my own happiness.\nI know it\u2019s hard to say things like this, or \u201cWow, it sounds like you miss your gran/sister/etc. What are you going to do about that?\u201d But it is absolutely possible to set boundaries and still be a kind and loving partner. In fact, it is vitally necessary. Don\u2019t become me and take on his life, only to end up feeling like your husband is a limb you have to sever to save yourself. That\u2019s not love. Love is what I have now, when I can breathe again. This stuff creeps up on you so slowly! And it always sounds so reasonable at first. But you have a chance to take a different path now, a more loving path. I hope you will.\nGoing to save a few bits of what you\u2019ve said, print them out and pin them to my diary, I think. Thank you \ud83d\ude42\nMuddie Mae said: April 16, 201312:49 pm\nAh, yes, Resentmentville. I built a lovely little cottage there over the last few years of my relationship, although my partner still believes we live in StrongRelationshipThatNeedsATuneUpBurg. Thus leading to MuddieMae standing at the fork in the road between staying and leaving.\nIt gets really awkward when they don\u2019t realize you\u2019ve already moved out, doesn\u2019t it? My partner and I are both (thankfully) starting to work on remodeling our old place back in StrongRelationshipThatNeedsATuneUpBurg after I figured out that key parts of the foundation weren\u2019t as solid as we\u2019d thought and scooted off to the place I\u2019d been slowly building on the border of Resentmentville and LifeWillGoOnEitherWayTown.\nBest of luck to you, whichever path you take.\nAnon for this said: April 16, 20131:35 pm\nI suddenly realise exactly why my relationship with my ex fell apart. Wow. Thanks.\nI found myself doing everything for my ex \u2013 to the point where if I didn\u2019t put food in front of him I wouldn\u2019t eat. My entire life became making sure he got what he needed until I just couldn\u2019t take it any more and went to stay at a friend\u2019s house until my essays were done. When I came back, he broke up with me. Which turned out to be the best thing for both of us but at the time was couched as \u201cYou are abusive because you left me to fend for myself for two weeks so now I\u2019m leaving you and all our friends hate you\u201d.\nThis is the jewel of the Internet today. I too learned these lessons the hardest way possible, but you put them into much more eloquent words than I could have.\nYes, this \u2013 I have been there and done this in a failed relationship. I still heave issues with it.\nI think the key thing is that feeling of \u201cIf I don\u2019t do this for him/her it won\u2019t happen!\u201d, because that\u2019s the message right there. You need to give them the space and respect to look after themselves and fulfil their own obligations, or the space to prove that they really won\u2019t do those things, which is important information. And I think fear of finding out that they really will drop all the balls drives some of the helping, because then we would have to decide if we\u2019re really happy being in the relationship under those terms. Doing it all for someone feels like motion in the right direction, but it isn\u2019t. If someone is constantly in a state of almost-being-fixed we don\u2019t have to accept that they\u2019re broken and that\u2019s how it is. And it keeps them broken. And destroys their self esteem. So it\u2019s lose-lose in every direction. \ud83d\ude26\nMy new rule for helping is to only do so while the other person is actively engaged in the project, whatever it is, and actively welcoming of the help. If helping feels like dragging an inert lump something has gone wrong and it\u2019s time to step back.\nThere is nothing pathological about ambivalence, especially towards parents whose \u201cnurturing\u201d has been a decidedly mixed bag. There is something in most of us that craves parents\u2019 love, affirmation and a \u201cnormal\u201d relationship with our parents. So it is only natural that when things go well with his parents, he\u2019d bask in it like a cat in a sunny window \u2014 while not trusting them for beans, and feeling enormous anxiety about their visits.\nHe doesn\u2019t need to stabilize his relationship by either dredging up every bad memory he has, reveling in the pain, and deciding once and for all to hate his folks. NOR by issuing blanket forgiveness for every rotten thing they\u2019ve done and flinging the doors to his heart wide open.\nAlso, while I totally understand your desire to understand what he went through, you don\u2019t need to know the ins and outs of what happened to be loyal to him. All you need to know is that awful, psyche-damaging things happened to him. And that no matter how lovely his mother seems now, he has a right to not be over the abuse. Sure, she might be someone who you think you\u2019d like, if you had met her in some other context. But the only reason she is in your life is because she\u2019s his mother. So be friendly, but follow your husband\u2019s lead, and don\u2019t take her side against him, ever, or pressure him to be \u201creasonable\u201d or kinder to her. Your relationship with her is secondary to his, and should rank way below yours with your husband.\nAnother Mary said: April 16, 201312:06 pm\n\u201cSo be friendly, but follow your husband\u2019s lead, and don\u2019t take her side against him, ever, or pressure him to be \u2018reasonable\u2019 or kinder to her.\u201d This.\nA scenario that might fit: My parents were verbally/emotionally abusive and neglectful when I was growing up. In my case, both of my parents have worked very hard and gone through a lot of therapy in an attempt to change their patterns of behavior, and both of them have also worked pretty hard to form relationships with me as an adult. Yay for them; I\u2019m grateful, and proud of them, and am working to forgive them.\nMy husband has been with me for most of my adult life and has been a huge support as I\u2019ve tried to figure these relationships out. What he\u2019s done that\u2019s been completely awesome is to a) have his own relationships with my parents, based on the people they are now, in the present, without recourse to the shit they pulled in the past, and b) at the same time make it very clear to me, every time we interact with my parents, that *I* am his priority and that he is on *my* team, all the time, period.\nI am still pretty damaged by the things my parents did. I still have the occasional freak-out session before visits. I\u2019m still reacting to, and dealing with, things that happened twenty years ago; and sometimes those reactions don\u2019t really square with the people my parents have tried to become. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s at all surprising that the LW has a hard time reconciling the people her in-laws seem to be now with the terrible ways they failed their son in the past. I think the Captain is spot-on to say, woah there, back off, it\u2019s not your job to manage your spouse\u2019s relationships. But it\u2019s been very helpful to me to see my parents reflected through the fresh lens of my husband\u2019s relationships with them\u2013whether he\u2019s saying, \u201cYeah, your dad was pretty passive-aggressive about X yesterday,\u201d or, \u201cActually, that thing your mom said didn\u2019t bother me. What was it that bothered you?\u201d *Cue listening*\nembertine said: April 16, 201310:07 am\nAs someone who was once subjected to a tirade because my boyfriend at the time forgot to get his mother a Mothering Sunday gift, I second the Captain\u2019s AW HELL NO. There are always reasons why people get lazy about relationships. I do it myself. But it does seem that men disproportionately get a free pass on it because caring about others is women\u2019s work. Your DH\u2019s disabilities or history of troubled family stuff complicate things a bit, but they are still his issues to sort out. I hope you can find a way of being supportive without shouldering that responsibility.\nSame here, I don\u2019t even care how it gets done, it\u2019s not the LWs thing to do. \u201cAW HELL NAW\u201d is exactly right.\nona555 said: April 16, 201310:14 am\nLW, I\u2019m not entirely convinced that your DH needs to communicate better with his family. Even if he does, it\u2019s not your job to be facilitator of the airing and healing of past hurts. I understand the urge to fix things, oh boy howdy do I, BUT he\u2019s got to be the one to approach it on his own terms. Your job in this is to be the person who deals with situations as they are now and if you chose it, to also hold people accountable for the way they are behaving presently if past patterns leak into today. A story:\nMy spouse has a father who was, for the majority of his childhood, a tyrant. A drunken tyrant. Knowing this isn\u2019t easy for me, nor is having a relationship with his dad easy for Spouse. For a number of years his decision was to simply have nothing to do with his dad at all\u2013 no phone calls, no letters, nada. After a while that changed, we moved near to his dad, and they started to try to get to know each other again, but it became clear rather quickly that his dad hadn\u2019t really changed at all in his perception of or approach toward Spouse. It came to a head one visit when FIL became drunk and \u201cjokingly\u201d called Spouse a \u201cfaggot\u201d in the middle of a party. I was furious. Spouse was so used to his dad mouthing off like that, that he didn\u2019t even notice. I called it out. Not then, later. I pointed out the dynamic at play, I told Spouse that I was not going to stay silent if it happened again, that I loved him and couldn\u2019t abide FIL calling the love of my life homophobic slurs in front of me and the kids, that if he wanted to take such abuse on his own that was up to him but I wasn\u2019t going to stand for it when it happened in front of me. Spouse was defensive: he didn\u2019t mean it, he\u2019s just like that, I provoked him, he was just joking. I was insistent: our kids don\u2019t know it was a joke, how do you plan to explain to them why it\u2019s okay for FIL to call you slurs? I saw the hurt on your face, is his right to be an ass in public greater than your right to be treated with respect by your own father? Is this what you want our kids to think is normal? Then I dropped it. Really and truly dropped it. I did not call Spouse\u2019s siblings to get more dirt on FIL, I did not talk to FIL about his behavior, which was really fucking hard!\nYou know what happened? Spouse took some time to process the whole situation (a couple weeks in fact) and he got angry for the first time in a decade. Not with me, the messenger, but with his dad; not as a hurt and powerless child, but as a commanding and powerful adult. At the same time, he wanted to give his dad a chance to change and to see him as that adult, he needed to deal with it on his own terms. He accepted an invitation to go golfing with FIL. He spoke to FIL. He was so nervous! It was quite literally the first time he had ever confronted his dad about anything. I don\u2019t have the specific details of what he said, I do know it had something to do with shaming FIL for behaving the way he did in front of his grandkids, but what I do know for sure is that it worked. It would not have worked coming from me. It would not have worked if FIL wasn\u2019t ready to hear it and willing to change. Shored up by his success, Spouse slowly started to address other dysfunctional patterns between him and his dad. He is a gentle person and I know it was really hard for him, but it was something that *he* realized *he* needed to do if they were ever going to have any sort of two sided relationship. Eventually we moved away again and now when FIL sees us, he is someone with more reserved and gracious behavior. My job *if I choose to accept it* is to notice shitty things which hurt our family and say so. To set boundaries of the sorts of behavior I will and will not tolerate around my person, my children, in my home. To shore up my spouse and remind him what a lovely and capable person he is when things between him and his family get him down. My job isn\u2019t to make things right with Spouse and his family\u2013 I can\u2019t. That is up to them. Nor can he make things right between me and mine, but that is another story for another time.\nAll you can do from where you are standing is address problematic situations as they arise in the present. Knowledge of the past is helpful in keeping perspective on current events but people are also more than their pasts, they are who they are today, they are who they are trying to be tomorrow. Supporting your partner in knowing who he is now, in hearing the truth about himself, that is important. That is what may give him the courage to address past hurts as he needs to in order to heal and move forward on his own terms. His own. I wasn\u2019t thoroughly satisfied with the way Spouse addressed the situation with his dad, I\u2019d have handled it differently, but he handled it the way he needed to in order to get the results he was looking for. Their relationship, their terms.\nIt\u2019s so hard to love someone and see them hurting, to hear them gaslight themselves, to speak untruths about themselves. I think though that saying those sorts of things out loud and hearing how they sound outside of one\u2019s head is part of the healing process as much as anything. If someone you love is stuck, supporting them and speaking the truth you know about them might help them get unstuck, but if they are not ready to confront a thing then pushing them to do so can backfire extraordinarily. Regardless, you can\u2019t have his relationship with his family for him, that is something he has to do for himself. You can be his sounding board, you can be someone in his life who both sees and speaks to the best of him, you can be the one he comes to when he\u2019s down and needs building up again. That\u2019s it.\nhuman said: April 19, 20135:19 pm\nThis is awesome and you are awesome!\nFlyBy said: April 16, 201310:29 am\nLW, you sound like a lovely and caring person. You want what\u2019s best for your husband, and are willing to work to make it happen. Good for you! These instincts come from a good place. But what\u2019s best for him is learning to manage his own relationships, not you managing them for him. It\u2019s tough, especially when there is stuff (physical or otherwise) that he legitimately can\u2019t handle on his own and does need help with. Figuring out what\u2019s helpful and what\u2019s not is going to be a lifelong process, I\u2019m afraid. As it is for all of us.\nI say this while being very well aware that I often put my husband in your shoes. I\u2019m an introvert, he\u2019s an extrovert, so he should handle all the social arrangements because he\u2019s good at it, right? This is a good reminder that I need to step up my own game.\nTabitha said: April 16, 201310:30 am\nI get the impression this is less about you helping him keep in touch with his family and more about you dealing with your knowledge of his abuse and other aspects of his childhood. I went through something similar with my partner who kinda echoes what you\u2019ve said about the bullying and acting out your husband went through. I was also amazed at what a wonderful person my partner turned out to be. What took me some time to realise is that he had already dealt with and processed most of that stuff either consciously or subconsciously so despite my desire to swoop in and make it all better he really didn\u2019t need much help from me.\nWhat you can do is support him in the choices he makes when dealing with his parents. If he\u2019s stressed because his mum wants him to visit on short notice you can remind him that you don\u2019t need to go and even offer to turn her down for him.\nYou can\u2019t and shouldn\u2019t try to maintain his relationships for him but you can develop your own relationships with his family. If you get on well with his mum you can call her yourself to talk to her, although you should talk to your husband about what sort and how much contact he is comfortable with. On the other hand, if you find yourself less willing to spend time on his family and he neglects the relationships as well then you are not driving him away from them, even if you two end up spending much more time with your family as a result.\nPBnoJ said: April 16, 201310:35 am\nYou mention specifically what a \u201cwonderful, loving, mentally balanced person he\u2019s become without therapy or help.\u201d Perhaps therapy would be a good idea now? To help him figure out what sort of relationship he wants with his parents, maybe, and how to get there? Or what the obstacles are in HIM talking to his sister (and other siblings and grandmother) and instead downloading that onto you?\nBut let\u2019s be clear: talking to his siblings about his childhood (and possible childhood abuse!) is not your job. Helping him keep in touch with his family is not your job. Providing emotional support to him while he does these things? That falls under your responsibilities. \ud83d\ude42\nExcellent point \u2013 and I\u2019d also like to point out that LW isn\u2019t a trained therapist and has her own agenda, so it\u2019s quite possible that her attempts to talk to his siblings may be really traumatic and triggering for them. As someone who also experienced \u201csort-of\u201d abuse while growing up, I can tell you the last thing I\u2019d want to do is discuss it with anyone other than my therapist, and I certainly wouldn\u2019t want to be blindsided by my sibling\u2019s spouse calling me and demanding details or my interpretation of what happened. It\u2019s inconsiderate at best, damaging at worst.\nThis. This forever. This x eleventy.\nYou don\u2019t get to delve just because you are curious or it \u2018might help\u2019 in some undefinable way.\nAnd it would be one thing for a sibling to broach the subject, but something else for their partner to do it \u2018on their behalf\u2019 for Reasons.\nI hadn\u2019t thought of it from that angle. Very important point\nHazel said: April 16, 201310:42 am\nMy initial reaction to the title is a simple, \u201cDon\u2019t.\u201d You can provide moral support, you can be there for him and reassure him that whatever decision he makes (therapy, yes or no, confrontation, divestment, what have you) you will love and support him. However, if you try to conduct his family relationships for him, you risk falling into a relationship dynamic that\u2019s worse for both of you.\nNot all kinds of help and support are created equal. Some of them may seem kind and loving on the surface but, in the long term, they shift your relationship away from spouses and into something totally different. This is the vibe that I\u2019m getting from your letter. \u201cPeacemaker\u201d is not in the spousal job description.\nRP said: April 16, 201310:55 am\nOK, this: \u201cAt the same time, he\u2019s just naturally bad at maintaining relationships and has asked me to help him keep in better contact with his gran and siblings.\u201d\nAnd this: \u201cHe\u2019s given me permission to ask his big sis for more info on their childhood, because his memory can cause him problems.\u201d\nconfuse me. The first one makes it clear that he wanted your help there, though as has already been pointed out any number of things like calendars, calendar/reminder apps, and phone alarms are sufficient for reminding him to make a phone call or buy a gift. But why is he even giving permission for the latter? It\u2019s just not clear from the LW\u2019s letter whether they were asked to take on managing the relationship with the parents too or if they decided that\u2019s a situation they need to fix. It just struck me as odd that the letter states his specific request in regards to his gran and siblings but is all about handling his parents.\nI guess what I\u2019m trying to say is that in addition to this not being a thing you have to or should do, you don\u2019t have to worry about doing something for someone when it hasn\u2019t been requested. It being implied (in this case by the gran/siblings request) doesn\u2019t matter. If it\u2019s something you don\u2019t want to do then don\u2019t worry about it until someone asks you to. Then you can say \u2018No\u2019 (or negotiate or whatever) but they have to give you an opportunity to say no to something before they can expect you to do it.\nIf he actually did make a specific request for this then ignore it but I figured I\u2019d mention it in case I\u2019m not just reading into things here.\n\u201cor if they decided that\u2019s a situation they need to fix. \u201d\nThis was poorly worded. What I\u2019m trying to say is that it sounds like he implied that this was something he wanted her to deal with and maybe that\u2019s part of why she didn\u2019t feel like she could tell him she doesn\u2019t want to; it\u2019s weird to say no to a request that hasn\u2019t technically been made. I didn\u2019t mean to sound like I think the OP was being a busybody or just inventing the problem or something.\nShe replied above to say she wants to help him.\nSorry, missed that.\nEveryone please ignore my completely pointless comment!\nTO_Ont said: April 16, 201311:16 am\nI know others have pointed out before that LW shouldn\u2019t feel like she _needs_ to take charge of her husband\u2019s relationships, but I\u2019d put it far more strongly than that.\nYou CAN\u2019T improve someone else\u2019s relationships for them. It\u2019s just not possible. You can change your own relationship with his family, but that will be you having a closer relationship with them, not him.\nParents try it sometimes with children, and it really doesn\u2019t work very well even with small children. With adults not only is it an impossible task, but having someone in between almost always tends to actually push people apart and keep them from having a real relationship.\nAnd think of it from the other person\u2019s side. How would you like it if you got gifts from someone regularly, got a \u201cHappy birthday\u201d phone call on time every year, received the occasional email updating you on their life\u2026and then you found out that someone else bought and sent the gift, someone else reminded them to call you, and someone else wrote the email and asked them to approve and sign it? I\u2019d feel super hurt. To me, receiving a gift or a call is a sign that someone was thinking about me, remembering me. NOT a sign that their spouse (or mother, or secretary, etc.) remembers!\nTHIS! I feel weird even getting my boo to type a text for me if I\u2019m driving, and won\u2019t even do it unless it\u2019s an urgent, pretty matter-of-fact \u201cOK, see you at six\u201d kind of thing, because if I\u2019m writing to someone to say \u201cYeah I\u2019d love to see you, been too long\u201d *I* want to write that because that\u2019s *my* love to express. Let\u2019s say this all together: Emotional Labour Is Not Women\u2019s Work, it\u2019s not something you can outsource\nThe other thought I had is that this is your husband, not your child. If he was five, this might be appropriate and healthy. I\u2019d say if he was twelve, EVEN if you were his mother, it would be a bit unhealthy.\nI think playing this kind of a role \u2013 which is the role of a parent, not of a partner \u2013 will only damage the relationship between you two, no matter how well-intentioned it feels initially.\nKaesa said: April 16, 201311:37 pm\nI just want to second this. I have a lot of similar issues to OP\u2019s husband (abusive parents, terrible memory in so many ways, social anxiety and depression, and a confused, somewhat Vulcantastic approach to emotion). Only I\u2019m single. (And a woman, so a lot of the dudes I almost dated would immediately just hand me their emotional baggage and expect me to deal with it, rather than expecting me to have feelings of my own to deal with. But that is a story for another letter.)\nBut if, several years ago, before I got a therapist, I had a boyfriend who offered to manage my social life like this, I would have said YES OMG PLZ, BEST THING EVER, I AM SO LUCKY I FOUND YOU, and would have relied upon him completely and utterly, and continued to not be able to make plans for myself or negotiate relationships with my parents myself. And eventually I would have felt horribly trapped and dependent upon the relationship, which is not really conducive to happiness.\nI want to third this.\nAnd I want to point out that for some people (e.g., me myself and I) taking on this type of responsibility is a way to assert control and dominance in a relationship, and foster dependence. I certainly am not saying that this is LW\u2019s situation, but when I find myself wanting to jump in and take over tasks like social engagements in a romantic relationship, that is a warning sign that I need to check myself.\nThere will be another question on a similar topic, stay tuned!\nLW 467 said: April 16, 201311:46 am\nI want to thank everyone for their responses so far, it\u2019s been really helpful! (I am especially grateful for the little kick up the rear that I shouldn\u2019t feel like I HAVE to be the organised one here!).\nThe problem with trying to explain something in 450 words is it\u2019s all too easy to reword stuff intending to make it more concise, only to end up being kind of vague and not helpful. To clarify:\nDH has not said he expects me to do this, but has repeatedly expressed desire to keep in better contact with his family, and has asked me to help him do this. This is an ongoing conversation we\u2019re having, which will include giving me concrete tasks that a- are reasonable to ask for and b- work within his limits such as deciding on a this-is-how-often-we\u2019ll-call-mum and me being the one to remind him, which he can then choose to do or not do depending on how he feels.\nDH has a younger sister he adores who still lives at home. DH really wants to be there for her, and we\u2019re both making as much effort as we can to let her know she\u2019s our family, she\u2019s loved and she can come to us with anything she needs.\nDH gave me permission to speak to his older sister about the stuff in his memory not to sort out how I feel or give me more information, but because his issues with the \u201csort-of\u201d abuse are that he honestly doesn\u2019t trust his own memories, because they are so spotty and fuzzy, and he both wants but is nervous about getting a clearer picture of things. I think I will tell him that this is something beyond what I can do for him, and encourage him to contact his sister himself IF he still wants that.\nI want to sort out how I feel about his family, but NOT with any plan to use my feelings as a basis for how relationships are handled \u2013 that\u2019s a separate thing that\u2019s just about me internally figuring my shit out so I can help him without influencing his decisions or presenting a bias. I don\u2019t want to make him feel like he should have a closer relationship if that\u2019s not what he wants, and I also don\u2019t want to inadvertently drive him away from his family, but I also can\u2019t and won\u2019t normalise what he went through.\nDH is worried about normalising what he\u2019s been through.\nSometimes DH will present an anecdote or memory of his childhood as though it\u2019s something quirky, or unusual, but which fits every definition of abuse \u2013 and pretty bad abuse at that.\nIf I go along with his framing of the anecdote as normalised, I\u2019m helping him normalise it which he doesn\u2019t want to do. But if I point out that what he described is Not Okay (and to be clear he knows that it\u2019s not okay enough to be horrified if, for example, we frame it in terms of would-you-do-that-to-the-pet-dog), I\u2019m afraid I\u2019ll influence him to rethink his relationships with his family.\nWhat if you said \u201cThat sounds pretty not okay to me\u201d and then let him have whatever reaction he has? Even messy ones? Even family-breaking ones?\nLike, maybe there will be consequences for his current family relationships. Easy to say \u201cso what\u201d when it\u2019s not my family, but I live a similar reality to your husband, where I am trying to reconcile past memories and present behaviors and decide \u201cwho are these people, even?\u201d \u201ccan I trust them?\u201d \u201chow does this play out now and in the future?\u201d \u201cIs forgiving/moving on/agreeing to leave the past in the past and try to focus on making a more pleasant present constitute forgiveness? Or giving up on the idea of justice?\u201d\nThat\u2019s how life is sometimes. Messy.\nAcknowledging your feelings about what he said is not you influencing him. It\u2019s a process.\nHe should go to therapy.\nThank you again, Cap\u2019n. I felt like even asking something like that was over the line, but you\u2019re right.\nCommander Banana said: April 16, 20133:37 pm\nThirded, fourthed, one-millionthed that he needs to go to therapy. I was having exactly the memory problems that you describe him as having, and sometimes (I\u2019m not saying in this case it does and I\u2019m not trying to Internet-diagnose) the brain sort of scabs over things that were difficult, and in my case, having clinical depression meant my memory was legitimately shot anyway. There were just big chunks of my childhood that I didn\u2019t remember at all and a lot that I still don\u2019t.\nMy brain tries to \u201cgo away\u201d when I experience unpleasant things and I think sometimes it just doesn\u2019t let me record the memory, or it feels fuzzy and far-away, or like something I saw on television happening to someone else.\nTherapy has been immensely helpful just because describing it to someone and having them go \u201cthat doesn\u2019t sound okay to me!\u201d was kind of a revelation to me. It sounds like you are being amazing and awesome, but at the same time, I would caution you that you aren\u2019t and can\u2019t be his therapist, for a number of reasons.\nI know it can be really difficult to persuade someone to go to therapy (it took a lot to get me there) but I will say that it\u2019s been one of the most helpful things in trying to manage my depression and it has also helped my relationship with my family.\nAre you saying the LW should persuade Mr. LW to go to therapy? Shouldn\u2019t that be his decision?\nMaybe therapy isn\u2019t the answer, maybe it\u2019s a journal or talking things over with a priest or a friend or painting large murals on a wall, but wherever the husband goes to work through those emotions, it shouldn\u2019t be treating his wife as a therapist/emotional mentor.\nI can\u2019t reply to Kellis Amberlee\u2019s comment, for some reason, and I\u2019m not surprised to see that snarky tone from her/him or the willful missing of the point of my comment, but no, I\u2019m not saying the LW should persuade her husband to go to therapy, although I can see how my comment could be interpreted that way. Like going to AA or finally visiting the doctor, going to therapy is one of those things that people have to make the decision to do for themselves. I was greatly helped by a concerned friend who took the time to research therapists in my area, called a few of them, and then sent me their information and gently nudged me to call them. Was it persuading me? In some ways, but it was still my choice to go.\nTaking the step to make the appointment was something I had to do, though, and it took getting to a really difficult place to acknowledge that things had gotten so bad that I couldn\u2019t continue to soldier through anymore.\nIf I were the LW, I\u2019d bring up the idea of therapy, maybe (maybe!) offer to Google a few options and send them to my partner, and leave it at that.\nI didn\u2019t mean anything snarky by it. I was truly curious about your opinion.\nI\u2019m not surprised to see that snarky tone from her/him or the willful missing of the point of my comment\nSeems to me you kind of lose the moral high ground on tone when you slur someone like this.\nEthyl said: April 16, 201312:24 pm\nI don\u2019t think I understand what you mean by \u201cafraid [to] influence him to rethink his relationships with his family\u201d? It\u2019s not like there\u2019s a binary state of \u201crelationship with family\u201d and \u201cno relationship with family.\u201d Also, I mean, it shouldn\u2019t be your job to sit there every time he talks about them and worry about the larger implications of everything you say and do in reply.\nIn summary \u2014 despite how well-balanced and wonderful DH is, it is past time for him to speak to a disinterested, professional third party to get clarity on his family history and to get some coping mechanisms once he figures out how he feels.\nOr, what the Capt. said \ud83d\ude00\n/Shouldn\u2019t/ realizing he was abused growing up make your husband rethink his relationship with his family? As some other people have said, rethinking doesn\u2019t necessarily equal \u2018ruin\u2019 or \u2018end\u2019, but the idea of not dealing with these issues just to preserve a pleasant facade sets off major alarm bells for me. Particularly if he still has a sibling living at home/if there are other kids in the family who might not be safe. I don\u2019t think pushing him to think seriously about his feelings and memories (ideally with a therapist) is a bad thing at all, as long as you don\u2019t push him to react in a specific way.\nI\u2019m in a similar situation with my partner and her family, and it\u2019s horrible to watch the strain she deals with to maintain this fiction for them that everything is okay. It\u2019s her choice and I support her in handling the relationship however she wants, but it makes having a safe space where her experiences are treated as valid super important.\nAbusive people often end up undermining their victim\u2019s memories of what happened with benign retellings and interpretations. Nobody wants to think that they were the bad guy and nobody wants to think their own parents were bad guys either. This makes it really easy for the past to get rewritten \u2013 but that has a terrible effect on the victim. You certainly shouldn\u2019t be stuck consulting his sister about his past abuse, but also he doesn\u2019t need her to ratify his experiences. Maybe she wasn\u2019t treated the same way, maybe she didn\u2019t see his abuse, but none of that would mean it didn\u2019t happen. He doesn\u2019t need permission to take his memories seriously.\nGood response from the Captain. I just want to add that if you guys are planning to have kids at some point, it\u2019s doubly important that you don\u2019t let him normalize these things. If (for example) he thinks that screaming at your children, and then storming out of the house is normal parenting behavior, well, it\u2019s not going to be good for either your hypothetical future children or your relationship. If you\u2019re not planning to have kids, disregard :).\nI am noticing this thing going on: that you feel like you and he are making emotional decisions for the both of you. Like, either both of you treat it as normalized, or both of you think it\u2019s wrong and weird. Both of you reconnect with his family, or neither of you do.\nYou are allowed to feel two different things! You can feel something, and he can feel something different, and that\u2019s okay.\nIn point of fact, I\u2019d actually be more worried if you didn\u2019t have separate feelings about these things. It\u2019s not actually a good thing to be so emotionally attuned to someone else that you\u2019re drowning your own feelings out. Then it\u2019s called \u201cenmeshment\u201d, when you\u2019re so tangled up together you can\u2019t keep track of your own needs and limits.\nI think you should just have your reaction and let him see it, without worrying about normalizing it or how it might affect him or his relationships or your relationships or or or. I mean, sooner or later you\u2019re not saying what you feel because it\u2019ll put the dog off his kibble. That\u2019s a lot of pressure on every.single.interaction!\nInstead you can just hear him, compassionately, and react naturally. If something sounds horrible, say \u201cWow that sounds horrible!\u201d and if something sounds just a little off, say \u201cThat sounds a little off\u201d and then you have a conversation about why it sounds off. \u201cWell, because I\u2019m used to the visiting aliens being blue instead of purple, and it\u2019s just so odd that yours were purple!\u201d If he tells you a thing that seems totally normal to him and it makes you so mad that anyone hurt him like that, just show it, without trying to control how your anger might affect his relationship with Aunt Edna who wasn\u2019t even the person who hurt him.\nThis can be an exchange, too, where you talk about your childhood \u2014 and you can share your own painful memories! Even if you weren\u2019t abused, you\u2019ve got painful moments in your past, and you can share them and he can empathize and you can grow closer together.\nLower the stakes, lower the complexity, just be there in the conversation, be honest, and let whatever changes happen come. You can\u2019t control that stuff so you might as well just stop trying.\nAgreed that you can\u2019t go to his sister and ask about her memories. I\u2019m imagining that this is terribly painful and confusing and personal to her, too. She may be comfortable hashing it out with her own brother, who also went through it, but having you ask her questions about it would likely be very uncomfortable if not downright offensive to her.\nKL said: April 17, 201311:51 am\nI am the one with a Difficult Family in my relationship, and I feel weird giving any input here because we sort of arrived at this accidentally (and I\u2019m sure the issues are different, every unhappy family etc.), but this is what works for us:\nBecause of the very candid conversations we have had about our childhoods, in which she has been really good about saying \u201cYou know, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s cool. Do you?\u201d I know that my partner is on my side\u2013 she has made it very clear that she doesn\u2019t think that I am exaggerating or that I deserved it or that it wasn\u2019t so bad\u2013 any of the things my jerkbrain likes to tell me. This means that when we are with my family, and they say or do something awful or even just slightly awful, I no longer feel a horrible, crushing shame as if it reflects on me; rather, I have an ally. If she says anything to me about it later, it will be along the lines of \u201cI can\u2019t believe you have to deal with this.\u201d The degree to which this has helped me untangle my family stuff cannot be overstated.\nHowever, my partner is also kind and friendly to my family, and\u2013 and this is maybe the most useful thing\u2013 happy to step in with an anecdote or question directed at someone else when meals with family turn into interrogate-KL sessions.\nAnd in terms of making plans, that is on me. We have a regular visit, which I am sometimes not up to, and she is happy to be an excuse for why we can\u2019t visit on those occasions, but it is a decision that I have to make. YMMV, of course, but as someone who has sometimes had trouble standing on her own (at least partly as a result of said family stuff) and therefore really needs to not be infantilized, this is what works for me.\nMost insights shared at this URL were arrived at accidentally. Great advice.\nHi Cap\u2019n! I just wrote a long comment reply to the thread (thanks everyone for the responses, you\u2019ve been amazing!) And I can\u2019t tell whether the spam system ate it or if my computer hiccuped and failed to post. Would be grateful if you could take a look. \ud83d\ude42\nNever mind, my bad, there it is! (oops!)\nmisspiggy said: April 16, 201311:53 am\nI do think AW HELL NAW doesn\u2019t always have to be the answer. But I feel any helping should be about technical stuff. So, for example, my partner very much expects me to keep up social relations, including with his family. We went into it all, and it turns out there are technical problems which makes some forms of social contact more difficult \u2013 dyslexia, fear of phone conversations, and memory problems. So I am happy to do the things which set off heebiejeebies in his mind to do with the dyslexia, phone and memory stuff.\nThis means planning contacts in advance, buying cards, writing them from us and getting him to sign, writing envelopes, writing emails from both of us for him to check, and sometimes sending the odd Facebook message. When I think he should do the writing (a letter to his mother, for example), I suggest things he can say and sit with him while he does it. Sometimes I encourage him to call people and suggest what he could open the conversation with. And so on.\nIf a relationship has got difficult and I know the person, I\u2019ll send a greeting from \u2018both of us\u2019 which says friendly things. It\u2019s clear it\u2019s from me, but it keeps the communication lines open. But if he wanted to ask somebody something difficult, I wouldn\u2019t do that for him. Helping to set up a way for him to talk to someone in a way he feels comfortable with is the most I would feel able to do.\nIf DH doesn\u2019t know what he wants from his family relationships, that has to be decided first, perhaps with help from the LW or a professional. Then the LW could assist on the technical side to a reasonable extent \u2013 but the goals have to be decided by him. Stuff about his feelings and questions has to be expressed by him; or left unsaid. I don\u2019t think being a mouthpiece for someone else with their family is appropriate, no matter how much the person may want it.\nLalala said: April 16, 20133:15 pm\nFear of phone conversations is a pretty broad definition of technical problems. I too used to be afraid of phone conversations. Like, getting up my nerve to call and order a pizza was a major ordeal. But starting when I was a teenager, my parents saw that as something I had to get over if I was ever going to function as an adult and they really pushed me on it. If that\u2019s a technical problem that requires one partner to step in and take over a task, then suddenly every man who claims he \u201cjust doesn\u2019t see dirt\u201d the way women do has an out on ever cleaning anything.\nIf your relationship is working for you, great, but you\u2019re advocating doing a whole lot more relationship maintenance work than I\u2019m comfortable seeing advocated for gender politics reasons, and I wanted to register that.\nNo, not advocating \u2013 just sharing what happens in my relationship in case it\u2019s useful to anyone. And you\u2019re right, one has to learn to get over these things. My partner has managed to get better, sometimes because help with something difficult has meant he doesn\u2019t feel such a crushing sense of failure, so he can tackle it on his own the next time. As we\u2019ve got to know each other it\u2019s become easier to gauge what kind of help is most sensible at different times. I should also have mentioned that he does plenty of heavy social lifting for me, too, so it doesn\u2019t feel like I\u2019m the one running our lives.\nmarillenbaum said: April 16, 20135:07 pm\nMy mom did the same thing for me! There were a variety of things I was terrible at as a teenager, and I would just so frustrated and just go, \u201cI suck at this! I suck at this SO HARD!\u201d And my mother would say, \u201cYou don\u2019t suck, honey, you just need practice.\u201d And then I had to work on whatever thing it was: not all day, every day, but enough that eventually (like, YEARS later eventually) I can do those things and it\u2019s a source of pride, not embarrassment or fear, and that\u2019s a good feeling.\nLalala said: April 17, 201311:28 am\nYup. It\u2019s still a source of fear for me and I\u2019m in my mid 30s. And, yes, it\u2019s a source of pride when I make myself do it. Because it fucking terrifies me but it\u2019s part of being a functioning adult and I don\u2019t want it to be something that defines my life.\nFear of calling strangers is a real thing, closely linked with social anxiety. It\u2019s treated with therapy and meds for the social anxiety as well as relaxation techniques. It\u2019s not something to just go \u201cOh, buck up!\u201d about.\nLearning it as a skill when you\u2019re a child closely watched with backup sounds like it\u2019s great, speaking from your comments and the following. Not knocking it down.\nThanks, Lalala, I was glad to have that registered too.\nAnecdote: My past partner had a somewhat ambivalent relationship with his parents. In the course of our relationship, he started working through his feelings and told me things about his childhood, and I came to the conclusion that his parents were pretty abusive. And I felt angry, and I wanted him to recognise that the things they had done were not okay. However, he worked through his own feelings and came to the conclusion that he wanted to build stronger relationships with his parents. This turned out to be really hard for me, as by that point I\u2019d come to feel that this was exactly the opposite of what he needed or they deserved. This caused a LOT of conflict between us, and was instrumental in breaking us up.\nSo, my point here is that you should be really wary of getting deeply involved in working out feelings about family, or doing the legwork in that. You\u2019re emotionally involved anyway, so you\u2019re not in a great position to help him work through his feelings, and deciding how you \u2018should\u2019 feel about his parents might be quite counterproductive if it turns out not to mesh with how he wants to handle the relationship. I still think my ex\u2019s parents were pretty shitty, but in fact I needed to be a lot more respectful of his desire to build a relationship with them. (I never told him not to, but whoa, in retrospect I realise I could have been a whole lot more subtle about my feels.)\nIt\u2019s so frustrating, because you want to help your partner! But I think the only way to handle in-laws is have your feelings about them based on your own interactions with them, and then to respect your partners\u2019 feelings. (And if those two don\u2019t mesh, then you have to resist the tempation to tell your partner all about your feels *g*.)\nAnd looking up, I see a whole conversation I missed about whether it\u2019s okay to tell him that some anecdotes sound not okay. And i agree with everyone else it totally is! But where I crossed the line was in not respecting my partners\u2019 feelings and decisions once he\u2019d worked through his thoughts. So, you need to be able to make it clear that these are your feelings and that there\u2019s no obligatory way for him to feel.\nI agree with you. It is not the letter-writer\u2019s problem to contend with. This is his family and his issues, and he needs to be the one sorting them out with them. She can be there to stand by him and support him, but it\u2019s up to him to take action in working on his relationship with his family.\nboosette said: April 16, 20131:45 pm\nPeople love getting mail that isn\u2019t bills\nI would like to one-millionth this: even just a \u201cthought of you recently and hope you\u2019re well\u201d brightens my day immensely.\nUnless it is ten pages of FEELINGSMAIL, of course.\nBut everyone here already knows that, even if we learned it the embarrassing way. \ud83d\ude09\nOr a ship in a bottle made out of paper mache feelingsmail!

Dealing with some issues around my partner needing to make some necessary life changes, and feeling like the only way these changes are going to happen is if I \u201cfacilitate\u201d them. (Concrete example: revise his resume for him, hand it to him to sign off on.)

This has been an interesting read for me. Like Beth\u2019s husband, mine needs to make some big changes and it\u2019s hard for me to know how to help, how much to help, and whether my husband will accept help. (Long story)\nAdded to that, I am in somewhat of a similar position to the LW when it comes to my husband\u2019s family. In my case, there is no history of abuse or the related issues. But I am often heralded by my husband\u2019s family as a person who \u201cchanged\u201d him, made him happier, got him back in touch with them. These things are somewhat true, and are meant as praise, but it feels more like pressure to hear them. I am also expected, by my husband\u2019s family, to help my husband stay in touch with them. To some extent, I want to do this, for Reasons. Again, it\u2019s a big responsibility, especially since, in my case, my husband does NOT want me to be an ambassador to his family. He doesn\u2019t mind if I have relationships with them, he just doesn\u2019t necessarily expect or want me to speak on his behalf. Except sometimes he does.\nI hadn\u2019t given much thought to my role as a woman when it comes to helping my husband with his communication issues. I am a better communicator than he is, so I\u2019ve naturally adopted that role, just as it\u2019s natural for him to do the grocery shopping and cooking. We play to our strengths. There have been some times when the proscribed gender roles have been slammed in my face, though. Most recently, I told his mom that my husband went to an informal party at our neighbors\u2019 house without me. I was thinking, \u201cHey, isn\u2019t it great that your introverted son is socializing! The burden of that doesn\u2019t have to be exclusively on me!\u201d My MIL scolded me for not going with him, saying that we should always go places together to present a united front. I am cutting her some slack on that because her husband recently died, but it was still annoying.\nAnyway, thanks to all for an interesting and helpful read.\nmetaphortunate said: April 17, 20131:23 pm\nAs a person who works for a small company that just hired, then rapidly had to fire, a guy who we found out his wife had written and then sent out his resumes for him, can I say: DON\u2019T DO THIS. He wasn\u2019t fired because his wife sent us his resume. He was fired because he didn\u2019t do any damn work. Clients refused to deal with him. Good resume, useless employee.\nIf your guy is not ready to take responsibility for his job search, then it\u2019s unlikely he\u2019s ready to take responsibility for a job. I feel for our guy\u2019s wife, what with the baby she had just had and all \u2013 but now he\u2019s unemployed again AND he has a firing on his resume to explain.\nYep. I know this. I do. It\u2019s just miserable to watch him in a job that is stifling, stressful yet unchallenging, getting more and more burned out, and less willing to believe that any other position would be any different, as well-suited job postings at fantastic institutions sail on by. I can repeat \u201cthis sucks, it\u2019s hard work, but it will be better on the other side\u201d all I want, but he needs to make the choice himself.\nRESIST. THE. TEMPTATION.\nHere\u2019s a tangent: how can you tell if your memory is fuzzy about your childhood?\nI\u2019ve been in therapy for almost a year now, and periodically I\u2019ll have a question about my childhood pop up and I won\u2019t know how to answer it. Example: I tend to be very defensive and guarded, and my therapist said that often family being critical and unsupportive leads to some of these defense mechanisms. And while I was able to think of a couple of examples, and I didn\u2019t feel he was off-base, neither could I remember a long-term habit of support or non-support from my parents.\nI remember my teachers, my friends, my activities, my family well enough I guess, but I can\u2019t tell if I\u2019m missing information or if I\u2019m just not using the right mental search terms? Or if I didn\u2019t file memories at all?\nKaesa said: April 17, 201312:41 am\nI don\u2019t know that there is One Way to Tell, but I personally have the following abuse/memory issues (which, WARNING, may be triggering to people who were abused, because it contains quotes from the script all abusers seem to work off of):\n* Lots of childhood memories that go like this: My mother threatens to hit me, I am sent to my room, my mother opens the door, [BIG GAP FULL OF NOTHING], pain, my mother leaves the room, I cry myself to sleep.\n* When confronting my mother about these things or bringing up related issues, she changes her story and I start to doubt myself. (\u201cOh, my father used to threaten me with X, isn\u2019t it horrible? I would never say anything like that!\u201d \u201cYou act like we BEAT you or something!\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re a spoiled brat, and if I hadn\u2019t slapped you around like I did, you would have been much worse.\u201d) I think gaslighting has done a number on my confidence in my memories, and possibly also on my memories, since human memory can be very subjective.\n* I have lots of memories of fights where I \u201cforgot\u201d something I was never actually told.\n* Inability to memorize certain kinds of facts, and shaming throughout childhood because that meant I was just lazy. (My therapist suggests this one may be related to undiagnosed ADHD, and isn\u2019t necessarily a result of abuse, but I include it for completeness\u2019 sake.)\n* Happy or sad, my childhood memories are mostly about school and spending time away from home, and when I do have non-argument-y memories of being home, they are usually about time spent alone. (I think this is probably just because I preferred spending time alone and my parents both worked, neither of which is dysfunctional, but I feel like my near-total lack of memories about spending time with my parents is\u2026 odd.)\nkatyisbutthurt said: April 17, 20132:54 am\nThat makes me wonder about the very conspicuous gaps in Husband\u2019s memories from childhood. Especially since now, if we have a huge, knock-down drag-out fight, and we exchange nasties in the heat of the moment, literally five minutes later he won\u2019t remember a thing. I think there\u2019s a lot he\u2019s blocked out, and I\u2019ve long suspected his parents were at the very least highly dysfunctional, if not outright abusive. I have made it clear for years now that I will not manage his relationships with family, because honestly, not my circus, not my monkey, and I don\u2019t want that monkey, either. I will not get in the middle, and I won\u2019t let someone else put me there, either.\nI will, however, be extremely supportive of what HE wants to do with his relationships \u2013 and count on him to be extremely supportive of what I want to do with MY relationships. He doesn\u2019t push me to be in contact with his parents, who loathe me and believe me, the feeling is quite mutual, and I don\u2019t push him to contact them or to cut them off. That doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t discuss it, it just means that no one person has veto power over another\u2019s relationships. And that is how it should be, because why should either of us have the power to tell the other who they can and cannot speak to?\nThere\u2019s definitely a reason that a lot of really effective marriage counsellors actually get couples to wear heart monitors during sessions, and if heart rates go up past a certain point, everyone has to stop talking and do deep breathing exercises to calm back down. If you get too upset, your body goes into fight-or-flight mode, or your brain says OKBYE and dissociates.\nIt is really hard to know sometimes, partly because everyone\u2019s childhood memories are a bit blurry; before around, eh, ten? memories come in clumps, all awkwardly packed together and disorganized, like the tape recorder was only on during certain times. It\u2019s usually only in late childhood that people get a real linear narrative of their lives. So for example, I can remember making friends with a girl when I was seven, but I don\u2019t remember if she moved away or what; she just dropped out of my life later. That\u2019s not because that memory is in my brain somewhere and I\u2019m repressing it: it just didn\u2019t survive into long-term memory.\nThis is why there\u2019s still concern over therapists implanting \u201cfalse memories\u201d. Trying to piece memories together can produce bad data sometimes. Sometimes when trying to remember your childhood, you get vague scraps and intuitions and collect it with outside knowledge to form a memory\u2013\u201cI remember eating ice cream, and not being tall enough to look inside the cart, so I must have been young, so that must have been the summer I visited my aunt when I was six.\u201d And sometimes, no, that was the time an ice cream truck stopped outside your house when you were five.\nWhich is all just to give the proviso: this is an inexact science with a margin of error. Furthermore, some people do recover memories that are genuinely upsetting, so it\u2019s a good idea to take it slow and make sure you feel comfortable and physically safe.\nBut these are \u201csearch terms\u201d you may want to look into more or discuss with your therapist:\n-Start closer to now. Ask, \u201cWhen lately have I seen incidents of this pattern? What about five years ago? Ten years ago?\u201d\n-Use solid anchors. If you count back to your childhood, do you remember who your teachers were in each year? What pets did you have, when? When did you begin a hobby or sport? Then you can begin exploring memories along those axes, and see if anything comes up. (This is like trying to find something by looking in your peripheral vision.)\n-See if your therapist knows anything about this. Some people only remember if they\u2019re really relaxed, or using a less cerebral kind of thinking (I use \u201cfocusing\u201d, which is a special technique) or in a hypnotic trance. These can be really powerful, but also require someone pretty trained to help or teach you.\nTabitha said: April 17, 20134:17 am\nI would second this. Memory can be very strange so you\u2019ll want to be careful about making assumptions. I have no memories of my father from the year my family (including him) moved to a different state. I know he was around and I have plenty of other strong memories from that time but my dad might as well have fallen off the face of the earth for all I can actually remember. From the context of our relationship now and other memories from both before and after that I\u2019m reasonably sure there is nothing sinister about the gaps I have.\nIf you have other reasons to believe there is something else behind the fuzziness of your memories then I\u2019d suggest following staranise\u2019s advice and bringing it up with your therapist.\nThe memory thing is really, really tricky, and the other responses raised really good points. This may seem silly, but I think one of the reasons I have such fuzzy memories from childhood is that I had terrible eyesight (I remember a lot of things as just washes of color) and am extremely introverted, so I spend a lot of time in my own head, instead of being outwardly engaged. But I do have a lot of very strong emotions attached to certain memories, even ones that don\u2019t seem, on the face of them, to be negative.\nMuddie Mae said: April 17, 20138:32 am\nHa, I think I have the exact same issues! I didn\u2019t get glasses until I was 25, but it\u2019s probable I needed glasses for a long time before that. All of my memories look like someone smeared oil on the camera lens.\nclodia said: April 18, 20139:00 am\nThanks for all the replies! You\u2019ve given me things to think about, most of which lines up with what I understand about memory.\nI\u2019m also near-sighted and introverted. I spent a lot of my childhood reading and checking out mentally when bored. I suspect that it might be part of my fuzziness.\nI think when my therapist asks me to think of interactions with my parents, I try to jump to early childhood, which is of course when memories are the fuzziest. However, I\u2019ve not lived in the same state as my parents for over ten years, and spent much of my high school life out and about, so it\u2019s hard to think of memories at times.\nI think it would be a good memory exercise to go through and recall what I can of my childhood based on school and friends and whatever I can woolgather out of my mental periphery vision.\nsuzymiscue said: April 17, 20132:38 am\nDon\u2019t. Please. For your own sanity. I can say this so certainly, because my ex stuck me into some difficult spots. And he managed this by appealing to my sincere desire to help. He wanted my help communicating with his ex about their child, \u201cbecause you write so much better than me.\u201d This was true. It was not, however, okay for him to abdicate all responsibility for that communication, and the results thereof to me, which he then did. Things that were not my fault magically \u201cbecame\u201d my fault\u2026 After a year or so, it got to such a stage that I would get physically nauseous when reading her emails. After a little more time being caught in the middle, I\u2019d sometimes have such visible nervous shakes at physical interactions with her that she would make snarky comments about it. And when I\u2019d finally had enough, my ex was not gracious about what I was and was not willing to do.\nAlso, no one can sort out other people\u2019s relationships. This was another thing I learned from my ex and stepson. The ex had plenty of ideas about how stepson and I \u201cshould\u201d be, but I had the sense to avoid the hell out of that one, and sort out my own relationship with stepson independently. And then \u2013 wouldn\u2019t you know it! \u2013 I tried to tell him how his relationship with his son should be and what he should care about! /HEADDESK He handled it well for a long time, but we had some very unpleasant discussions eventually.\nFor me, it boiled down to setting boundaries, and sticking to them no matter how unpleasant he got about it. And it did get unpleasant. But faster than expected, he learned I was serious, and it got better. I stopped reading her emails, and writing replies. My compromise was that I\u2019d edit what he wrote. I also scaled back on family-activity-planning; instead of me doing ninety percent, it became much more fifty-fifty. I kept up with being the person who took photos and then made sure they actually got onto the wall occasionally, as it was something I enjoyed.\nIt\u2019s very understandable, normal, and kind that you wish to support your partner! I\u2019m not advising against that. I am advising you start considering what realistic expectations are. Please get a therapist \u2013 if nothing else, this person can be a sounding board. And they may be able to provide valuable insight as you try to assist your disabled partner. Caregiving for another person is crazy-stressful, no matter how happy you are to do it. (Again, been on both ends of that situation, giving and receiving care.) Make it clear that your responsibilities are subject to change, and that that is an on-going conversation. And most of all, good luck!\nMinerva-Gwen said: April 18, 201310:56 pm\nI would like to add something to the discussion on can\u2019t or won\u2019t and making someone do things for themselves. Since I\u2019m a Lesbian, gender is less of issue for me in this area than it may be for other posters.\nI was born with a neurological syndrome that has never been given a label or or specific diagnosis. There are some autism-like problems, motor skills being less than normal, being academically bright but having problems doing other things, et c, et c. Because of this, there are things that are so difficult for me that I will not be able do them without being damaged by extreme stress, or exhaustion that stops me from doing things I really need to do, or not being able to do them successfully no matter how hard I work at it.\nThese things are often not what other people expect, and sometimes people don\u2019t believe that I truly can\u2019t do them. For example, I can carry on a conversation pretty well and express myself well, but I can\u2019t listen to someone talk and do anything else at the same time, and interacting with people is very difficult and stressful for me. I\u2019ve found that I can\u2019t talk to a bureaucrat for very long without getting so stressed and tired I can\u2019t remember my manners, no matter what I do, and the bureaucrat yells at me and hangs up because I\u2019m not being nice enough. I\u2019ve been told \u201cYou just resent having to be civil.\u201d No, I\u2019m trying hard to be civil, I want to be civil,I can\u2019t deliver what\u2019s being asked of me.\nThere are some things that are beyond my abilities and making me do them myself and refusing to help me is not going to make me able to do them. What happens is, the things don\u2019t get done and and everybody ends up miserable or angry. What does work is my doing as much as I can and the other person doing the parts I can\u2019t, such as I write down what information I need and be present in case more is needed, and the other person does the actual talking to the bureaucrat. Sometimes, either somebody else does it,or it never gets done no matter how much I want it done or how hard I work at doing it.\nSometimes making someone do it themselves is the best thing for them, sometimes it does more harm than good, and it\u2019s very difficult to tell which is best for another person. Sometimes, you have take their word for it and accept that \u201d I can\u2019t\u201d is the truth.\nPingback: #475: How do I help my lonely husband make some friends? and #476: Tired of the same old college scene | CaptainAwkward.com",

        "raw_content": "We cannot deny that modern civilization is built around the automobile. It is almost impossible to think of the world that would exist without the car. We depend upon vehicles for every aspect of our life and having a car is not just a question of luxury, but a matter of necessity. However much we may praise the car, there are a few drawbacks of owning one. In the present situation, the biggest drawback is gas prices. A car is nothing without fuel and gas prices seem to be skyrocketing, with no inclination of coming back down. Car companies are working furtively to manufacture cars that will run on alternate sources of energy, but that is still a very distant future. The best we can hope to do not is to get as much mileage as possible from every drop of petrol and diesel. People are abandoning the behemoths in their garages for smaller cars that guarantee excellent fuel economy. However, there are a number of steps that you can take in order to improve the fuel economy on your existing vehicle.\nDon\u2019t drive slowly. Drive smartly.\nAs far as fuel economy is concerned, the biggest misconception is that driving slowly helps improve fuel economy. The truth is that it\u2019s not how fast or slow you drive, but the manner in which you achieve the speed that really matters. Research has shown that every car has a different speed at which it is most fuel economical, but the biggest factor that determines the fuel economy is how lead-footed a person is on the accelerator and brake pedals. The best way to achieve excellent fuel economy is to maintain a steady speed for as long as possible; that is why the highway mileage figures of a car are much better than its city mileage. Do not step in the accelerator aggressively every time you need to get a move on. In cars with automatic transmission, simply releasing the brake can provide enough momentum to cover the little gaps when stuck in a traffic jam. Similarly, avoid stepping on the brakes when you don\u2019t need to. If you see a red light well in advance, take your foot off the gas pedal and coast to the intersection. Simple driving more sensibly will help you achieve a much better fuel economy, even if you drive a gas-guzzler.\nGet rid of the unnecessary weight\nWeight is bad news for a car. The heavier the car is, the more the burden on the engine. Not only does it affect the car\u2019s performance, it is severely detrimental to the vehicle\u2019s fuel economy. There isn\u2019t much you can do about the overall weight of the car, but what you can do is ensure that no unnecessary items are piled up in the vehicle. We all have that one friend that has so many things stored in his car that it would seem he or she lives out of their vehicle. It is very important to get rid of all unnecessary items that add undue weight. Keep the spare tire and emergency kit and get rid of the gym bag that always sits in the trunk of your car, even though you have given up on going to the gym a long time ago.\nKeep an eye on the tire pressure\nLow tire pressure is not just bad for handling and comfort, but also affects the fuel economy. Always ensure that the tires are filled up to the manufacturer\u2019s recommendations. Invest in a good tire pressure valve that will let you know when the air pressure dips too low. Having your tires inflated properly will help you save gas for every mile that the car is driven.\nThere isn\u2019t much we can do about the rising gas prices, but we definitely can help improve the car\u2019s fuel economy. Whether you drive a Hyundai or a Mercedes-Benz, follow these simple steps and you will notice a sharp improvement in the fuel economy figures for your vehicle.\nMary Hanks is an avid blogger who suggests using Licence Checking, which is a very cost effective, easy to use, practical and much less time consuming than any manual checking process.\nTagged: car cars drive vehicle\nThe windshield of a car is a very important piece.

        "title": "A Fun, Relaxing Way to Boost Your Productivity! - Productivity Coaching",
        "raw_content": "A Fun, Relaxing Way to Boost Your Productivity!\nWhen you talk about boosting productivity and improving work performance, the tools and strategies\u2014while helpful!\u2014aren\u2019t always fun. In fact, they can even be frustrating. While there are some people who truly enjoy organizing their desk or making to-do lists, boosting productivity can seem like a chore\u2014even if it ends up being life-changing in the long run. However, there\u2019s at least one way of boosting productivity that is downright FUN and RELAXING! Curious what it is?\nThe most fun, relaxing way to boost productivity is simply to take some time off. Whether you\u2019re taking a Friday afternoon off to explore your city or taking a whole week to go sip margaritas on the beach somewhere, taking a vacation from the stresses of work and life can be an incredible way to enrich your life. By taking a trip or even just taking a day off, you can make yourself happier and less stressed and make yourself more productive when you return to work.\nThe Problem with Vacations\nThere isn\u2019t really any problem with vacations, unless you\u2019re vacationing more than you\u2019re working! But most people are their own worst enemy.\nPerhaps you tell yourself you can\u2019t take vacations because you have too much to do. You make excuses like, \u201cThere\u2019s no one else to do all the tasks that need to be completed. My manager might think I\u2019m not dedicated to my job! What if taking a week off causes me to lose the chance for a promotion?\u201d\nYou might even say, \u201cBeing busy and working all the time is just who I am. It\u2019s what I do. I can\u2019t change my habits.\u201d\nThis is crazy talk!\nNow, I understand why you\u2019d be guilty taking vacations because that\u2019s just what today\u2019s American culture is like. At the same time, these excuses don\u2019t make much sense. You can be a productive, AMAZING worker while still taking regular vacations. Working yourself to death isn\u2019t going to get you any merit points from anybody, and it\u2019ll be hard on your physical and mental health\u2014along with your long-term productivity.\nWhy Everyone Needs a Vacation\nEveryone should take vacations from work. Like I said, not everyone has the money or time for a 2-week cruise, but there are all different kinds of vacation. I\u2019m talking about everything from an afternoon off, to a long weekend, to a week or two away from home.\nVacation and rest and recovery\u2014whatever that means to you\u2014are absolutely essential if you want to continue to create and innovate with high-quality results. Your mind and body need a break to operate at their best. After resting, you\u2019ll come back refreshed and able to handle all your work-related tasks with more energy and purpose.\nWhy You Might Be Afraid to Take a Vacation\nWhen you base your self-worth on being productive and hardworking, then there\u2019s no time for vacation because you\u2019re operating from a place of fear. You fear failure. You think that if you stop being busy, then you\u2019ll suddenly lose your worth as a person.\nIf you are questioning your ability to get away from work for a week or a long weekend, it\u2019s time to sit with your fears and think about them. Ask yourself these questions:\nWhat do I lack faith in? Do I lack faith in the quality of my work or the ability to complete it? Do I feel unsure about my relationship with my boss or colleagues?\nWhat assumptions have I made regarding your manager\u2019s and company expectations for taking time off? Have I wrongly assumed that my boss will be upset if I take time off? Have I closely reviewed my company\u2019s expectations and allowances for vacation time?\nWhat is it costing me personally when I don\u2019t take time off? Is my lack of rest and relaxation undermining my physical health? Is it hurting my relationships with my spouse, children, extended family or close friends? Is it taking a toll on my emotional or spiritual health to keep working without a break?\nAfter you think about these things, it\u2019s time to make a plan!\nHow to Embrace Vacation Time\nAre you still feeling a bit apprehensive about taking a vacation? Are you tempted to put it off until next year? Stop right there! Let\u2019s start slow.\nMy assignment to you is to take a mini vacation. Take an afternoon off, or maybe a whole day. Read a book that you\u2019ve been wanting to read, or go to a movie with your friend or a family member. Walk around and explore your city. Go to a play. These are just a few of the many ways you can relax and rejuvenate yourself in a short amount of time. This can go a long way toward assuaging your fears about vacation!\nOr, if you\u2019re willing to go big, you can be bold and face your fear head on: plan ALL your vacations for next year.\nI would encourage you to take some time and schedule your future vacations for 2019. All of them. Open your calendar and block your time off. This includes mini vacations, like a Friday afternoon on the golf course, and big ones, like that trip to Costa Rica you\u2019ve been meaning to take with your significant other. By scheduling them now, you can ensure you have dedicated time for rest and rejuvenation. Plus, it can help you get started saving for big trips.\nRemember, if you don\u2019t get the proper rest and relaxation, you\u2019re undermining your performance at work\u2014 and you\u2019re also undermining your health and happiness. I want you to stop affirming busyness and making it the center of your life. Take your sights off your output for a while and focus on helping yourself thrive.\nWork is infinite. There\u2019s always more you could be doing. But, life is finite. You don\u2019t want to go through life working every day and never taking the chance to enjoy yourself. So, go take a vacation!",

Several enthusiastic visions of this future have been put forward, but enthusiasm is no substitute for analysis to mitigate unintended consequences from rapid large-scale technological changes.\nThis talk will cover recent and ongoing research that evaluates the next wave of potential technical and policy interventions to transform the electric power system. In California, policy makers are promoting distributed energy resources like residential solar and energy storage and anticipating that they will both decarbonize and decentralize the electric power system. This presentation will describe a systematic analysis of the potential effects on the electric power system of deploying residential energy storage (RES). Our results show that RES systems predominantly increase emissions when users seek to minimize their electricity cost.\nPolicy makers in California are also exploring novel solutions to deal with curtailed electric power from renewable energy generation. In the first four months of 2018, the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) was forced to curtail more than 210 Gigawatt hours of wind and solar power, and CAISO is expecting these levels of curtailment to increase as more renewables are installed in pursuit of the state\u2019s ambitious clean energy goals. Using a 240-bus reduced form of the power system of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council, we develop a large-scale optimization model to analyze whether and how we could leverage curtailed electricity to power a suite of technologies that could mitigate carbon emissions. Our results allow modelers and policy makers to begin considering a range of novel greenhouse gas mitigation strategies\u2014including negative emissions technologies\u2014that could work alongside traditional decarbonization policies.",

        "raw_content": "Sam Kazman \u2022 August 2, 2016\nOur constitutional challenge to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is once again on hold, but this time the delay may be relatively short. On July 12, U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle issued a partial summary judgment against us on a secondary issue in the case\u2014the question of whether CFPB Director Richard Cordray, whose original recess appointment was invalid, could summarily ratify his past actions after he\u2019d been properly reappointed. But the judge left our major constitutional claims regarding the CFPB\u2019s structure undecided pending an appellate ruling in another case. And hopefully, a decision in that case won\u2019t be long in coming.\nThe case, PHH Corp. v. CFPB, was heard by a D.C. Circuit panel on April 12. The original focus of the case was on due process and administrative law issues. But shortly before the hearing, the panel ordered the parties to be prepared to also address the constitutional issues raised by the CFPB\u2019s structure. CEI had filed an amicus on these issues---namely, whether the CFPB\u2019s very structure is valid, given its unprecedented lack of oversight by the President, by Congress, and by the courts.\nIf the panel rules on those issues in deciding PHH, it may well determine the outcome of our case as well. If not, those questions will be squarely before Judge Huvelle.",

I went\u2014because of course I was going to go\u2014got all dressed up and wandered around a bit. I mingled with other nerds in Harry Potter garb and watched (mostly indulgently) as small children ran around waving wands. I ended up not staying for the full event, whatever that might have ultimately have entailed. It was fun, and almost captured the magic of the midnight releases of old. Almost.\nBut mostly I felt I could have been carrying a sign. \"I'm looking for friends. I like Harry Potter, too. Will you be my friend?\" I told one girl that I liked her awesome coat, and her friend said she liked my beetle-wing earrings and they both laughed at my, \"They're appropriately Slytheriny!\" reply. Making friends is hard for the socially anxious, and that was the extent of my friendly overtures. But it would have been nice to capture the magic\u2014hah\u2014what it used to be.\nP.s. I don't have an Harry Potter icons. That seems strange to me now.\nThis entry was originally posted at DreamWidth. Please comment there with your journal or OpenID. [There are comments on DW.]\n\u2022 I'm officially a Colorado state resident. (Well, ok, maybe not officially. I haven't gotten a new DL yet, but I did send in my voter registration yesterday.) Shockingly, it's not much different from New Mexico? There's a lot of Broncos merch everywhere, which is hilarious and terrifying. As I keep being told, I am deep, deep in the heart of Broncos country. (And apparently football season has started, or something. Who cares, though, since baseball season is about to be over?)\n\u2022 You guys, moving is expensive. I've bought furniture and rugs and some art, and a whole host of other things that we need.\n\u2022 I'm currently not working much. There's a product info workshop/training thing tomorrow, and there's a whole slew of online training manuals (which so far has been videos of text and a voiceover reading the text to me, and then a quiz to make sure I was paying attention) that I'm going through now. I'm seriously considering doing some knitting while I go through these things. I also now have a work email? I guess technically I'm sort of on the management team. I'm more like a team leader. Anyway. Work email. Training. Wooooo.\n\u2022 We booked our wedding venue last week! We're going to be getting married at Tapestry House here in Colorado. The best part? They're an all-inclusive venue, so they'll do everything. Or at least, all the things we want them to. We'll probably go with an outside photographer and we have a friend who wants to DJ for us, but they'll do the food and the booze and the decorating (although my mom might do the centerpieces) and they'll even do the cake if we decide not to find someone else. It's a huge relief to not need to do all those things, let me tell you what. There are still things to do, obviously, but I feel so much more relaxed about the whole prospect now.\n\u2022 I'm using all my OTP icons for these posts (which people reading on LJ won't be able to see) because of the wedding talk.\n\u2022 Books! Since last I wrote, I did indeed get my hands on Ilona Andrews' Magic Binds and it was a really good addition to the series. It included, hilariously and helpfully, a wedding between the main character and her fianc\u00e9. (I say helpfully because it pointed out a few things about weddings that I'd forgotten and allowed me to chill a little. So. Yay for that!) I've also read Kendare Blake's most recent book, Three Dark Crowns, which was excellent, even if (at least) one of the twists was something I was expecting. I'm really looking forward to the next one in that series. Now I'm reading the latest Kara Gillian book, Legacy of the Demon, by Diana Rowland, which is proving to be very entertaining\u2014although I don't remember with perfect clarity what happened in the previous book. (This is ok, because Urban Fantasy series tend to gloss over previous events in the beginning, so it's working out just fine for me.) After that I'm probably going to dive into the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas, since I really like her other stuff and there's a handful of them plus assorted novellas so it'll keep me entertained for a while. And then after that I plan to reread Garth Nix's Abhorsen books so that I can read the newest addition to that series, Goldenhand.\n\u2022 Oh, also: NaNoWriMo is coming up. As always, I'm planning on participating. I can't even begin to imagine what my November is going to look like, but I'm hoping I'll have some time to put some words in. Fingers crossed and all that.\nTags: books, moving, nanowrimo 2016, nanowrimo prep, wedding planning\n1 | forever nevermore\n\u2022 There is just today, tomorrow, and Friday left. On Saturday we'll be packing up the cars and then driving away. I'm done with work, which means I have the next few weeks off, since my new gig won't start until mid-October. It's sort of nice to have that time, but also sort of stressful\u2014in that I don't have any sort of income for these next few weeks, and yet still have bills and such to pay. But I think it will work out.\n\u2022 But also... WOO NO WORK FOR A FEW WEEKS!\n\u2022 But also packing. Which is really awful.\n\u2022 Hmm books. I finished Ilona Andrews' newest, Magic Binds, and it was fun. And, considering that there was a wedding being planned and orchestrated in it, it was actually useful for me personally. So there's that. I'm currently reading Kendare Blake's newest, Three Dark Crowns which is really interesting. I'm curious how they're going to resolve the conflict, which is that two of the three main characters are basically slated for death.\n\u2022 Made an appointment to look at a venue for the wedding. This is exciting! Also a little terrifying. I'm thinking about Saves the Dates and then invitations, and my dress, and whether or not I want a full bar or if I want centerpieces. It's a lot to think about, and I'm trying not to get overwhelmed, haha. But it's exciting!\nNot a whole lot to say, but at least I'm updating?\nTags: books, moving, wedding planning\nObviously this whole, \"posting here more often or at all, really\" thing is going to take a little while to get back into the swing of, so posts will likely be somewhat sporadic. Obviously I'd love to post once a week, but... I'll forget. I know I will. But I'm trying, and I have a plan. (More on that in a bit.)\n\u2022 But first! My boyfriend proposed! I'm getting married! I mean, not right away. Next summer. My mom and I are in the early stages of planning a wedding--which is scary, you guys. Planning something this big, with so many pieces and people. Although, I'll be honest, fiance (hehe) and I still haven't totally ruled out the possibility of doing something really small, and then having a big party afterwards. But we'll see. I'm not letting the whole idea of this get too overwhelming or scary because I don't want to stress it. I want it to be fun to plan a fun day. Also I do not want my friends to remember me as a Bridezilla. So.\n\u2022 I only have 7 (possibly 8, we'll see how it goes) more days at my current job. And only 13 more days until we get in our cars and drive away from New Mexico. Despite growing up here, I don't actually think of myself as from here. My heart belongs in the city. For 8 years it was New York City. When I was in Edinburgh, I thought it was a city I could certainly love. Now I think that Fort Collins (and it's Greater Metropolitan Area) will be city enough.\n\u2022 We are just now starting to get into the beginning of the actual move. I hate the actual process of moving: the packing and disassembling of my whole life, the hefting and carrying of all that stuff and putting it into a vehicle, and then after you move those vehicles to your new place, you have to do it all again in reverse. We're starting early in the hopes of containing the chaos to something more manageable, but ahahahahaha hahaha hah. Yeah. It's moving. It makes me want to throw up. But this time is a little different! In case you weren't aware, I am marrying the most amazing guy, who informs me that he's specifically arranged enough help so that I don't have to do any of the heavy lifting. Because he knows how much this stresses me out and he loves me.\n\u2022 Possibly related... I have all kinds of acne on my back. Even as a teen my skin wasn't particularly prone to breakouts. At most I'd have two, maybe three, pimples at any one time and usually it was less. I have pretty good skin. But now I've got it all over my back and it's driving me crazy. I haven't changed my skincare routine (or at least, I've changed it a little now that I have the acne, but I didn't change it until after it started) and I don't feel more stressed than usual (although, since I'm an anxiety sufferer, my normal levels of stress always seem pretty high to me). Or at least, the acne appeared before the actual moving stress kicked in. I know I'm not doing the other things that usually signal to me that I'm stressed\u2014picking at my cuticles or chewing off the skin on the inside of my lips and cheeks\u2014but maybe I am more stressed and I'm just not noticing? I don't know and this stuff on my back is, again, driving my nuts. Stop this shit, body. Stop it right now.\nUuuuh...\n\u2022 Books! Seanan McGuire's latest October Daye book came out last week. It's called Once Broken Faith and it was really good! There was a short story attached to the end which really helped out the ending, and set up a new relationship, and I'm excited. I also decided to get my hands on Full of Briars, a Quentin novella! It was fun! Now I'm preparing to read Ilona Andrews' most recent Kate Daniels book, Magic Binds. This preparation consists of reading the novella's in that world, which are set before the last book and are really helping to explain some things. I'm going to get my hands on the new book as soon as I'm finished with the last novella.\n\u2022 Bullet Journaling! I started one, then decided I'd fucked it up, and now I'm using a Moleskine journal for lists and such. I'll figure out how to do the whole BuJo thing eventually, but for now, I wrote a blog post about it on my \"professional\" blog thing. Possibly one of the things that I'll use it to do one day is update this thing more, haha. Anyway. Read all about it!\nTags: books, bullet journal, engaged!, i hate moving, skin problems\nIn which Sky returns! ...two years later.\n\u2022 It's been a little over two years since I last wrote. Which means there's quite a lot to catch up on here... but I think I'm just going to skip over that. Most people reading this journal also follow me on Twitter or are also friends on Facebook, so they would have gotten little tidbits of it there. Still, I'm feeling the need for a more long-form way of telling the world what's been going on in my life, so here we are.\n\u2022 At the end of September, boyfriend and I are going to pack up and move to Fort Collins, Colorado. Ok, technically I'll be living in Loveland, but I've come to think of that as part of the Fort Collins Greater Metropolitan Area, and I'll be working in Fort Collins. Because, oh yeah, I landed a job there. I'll be starting mid October. We have a really great little apartment, too, in a really great location. With both of those things taken care of, I'm free to go back to worrying about the actual move itself and living in a new and unfamiliar place. But I'm sure that will pass. And I'm excited to be starting a new adventure.\n\u2022 I've been trying to read more this year. With the sole exception of July, during which I finished one book (which I had started at the end of June) and then continued to read one other (which I then finished on the 1st of August), I've been doing pretty good. This year's spread sheet has color coding for the gender of authors (because I'm curious) as well as different coding for things that are re-reads (aka comfort reading) and things that will end up on my \"Best Books I Read in 2016\" list at the end of the year. I'm having fun with it, and also enjoying reading\u2014which was the whole point of this endeavor.\n\u2022 Related: If you haven't read seanan_mcguire's Every Heart A Doorway, do so. It's short and won't take you very long, and you'll be happy you did. And if you haven't read Rachel Aaron's Heartstrikers series, definitely do that too. The third book, No Good Dragon Goes Unpunished came out last week, you should do that too. I mean, start with the first two if you also haven't read those, but then definitely read #3 because it's so so so good.\n\u2022 This morning I woke from a dream in which I had agreed to be a gangster boss's mistress, in a time when cars and horses were on the streets together. It considering that it was mostly the two of us talking, and me realizing that he was really a nice guy who missed his dead wife terribly and really wanted to build this beautiful house... it was a pretty nice dream. This dream also featured FAO Schwarz, but some weird version of it, and me cryptically saying that it looked different than the last time I'd seen it, because I was also, apparently, a time traveller. Sometimes I really love my brain.\nThat's it for now. More things as I think of them, I suppose.\nTags: dreams, moving\nIn which Sky remembers that she has this journal thing.\nWhen last we saw our intrepid heroine... on June 18th wtf, self, you were supposed to be getting better at this...\n\u2022 I changed jobs. The part time gig was good and all, but now I have a full time gig that I like and I like the people I work with and the people seem to like me too. It's better all around, not to mention the fact that I will likely be able to actually pay my bills a little easier and maybe even save some money. And, since I'm now working at a Japanese Spa, I get all kinds of awesome benefits, like discounts and gift cards and such. This job is pretty awesome, guys.\n\u2022 I also got a new tattoo on Saturday. I got the \"Not all those who wander are lost\" part of Strider's riddle, translated into Quenya, on my back. I'm happy with it, although it does make putting on jackets, reaching for things up high at work, and sleeping occasionally interesting. I am also considering getting something while I'm in Ireland. We shall see.\n\u2022 Only about a week til my UK trip! I decided to take a little trip to Glasgow between London and Dublin, and I might use one of the three days I'm there to take a day trip to Edinburgh as well. I'm also considering a day trip up to Belfast from Dublin, as well as trekking out from London for an evening to see my favorite band at a festival they're playing at. I have all these options!\n\u2022 It's chilly and rainy out, which means I am eating warm things to keep a little on the warmer side. I'd have considered staying late at work for free hot tub soaking, but lightning. And I wanted to come home and read my book.\nThat's about it, in terms of news.\nTags: job: ttw, tattoo, travel\nfeeling: chipper\nIn which Sky is actually starting to plan travel and is v. excited!\nAw yis, keeping to a vague posting schedule. Go me.\n\u2022 Job still and unsurprisingly continues. I will likely apply to another thing as my current gig is just part time, and then we'll see how that could work.\n\u2022 Actual planning for August travel to London and Dublin has commenced! I am very excited. There might be a day in Amsterdam with my mom and stepdude if they have the time. Which would be very neat. And if not, I will still have been to London and Dublin, so it will have been awesome.\n\u2022 I haven't posted to my new blog since the Maleficent reaction, but there's a post coming on Friday that I am very pleased with. So you all should keep an eye out for it. c:\n\u2022 My feet hurt. Always and forever with this job, apparently.\n\u2022 Guys, I still haven't gotten over X-Men: Days of Future Past and I think I need to see it again this weekend. So that I can take notes. And allow Erik Lehnsherr further into my head. Because he's there, and he's angry and loud and amazing, and I sort of need to see that airplane scene again.\nAnd that's the State of Sky for the week. c:\nTags: erik lehnsherr, movies: x-men days of future past, professional blog, that asshole, travel, work woes\nIn which Sky made a new blog for think-y thoughts.\nWhoops. I forgot to post in the first week of June. Darn.\n\u2022 Job continues. I'm learning quickly and starting to feel like I know how to do things. Which is nice. Management has decided that I'm good for closing shifts, which is... not my preferred shift. But it's money. Hopefully the week after next I'll have some shifts that aren't closing.\n\u2022 I started a blog as a \"professional\" type presence. Already I've posted about Amazon and Hachette, as well as my reaction to seeing Maleficent last night. :) More things to come as they happen or as I think of them.\n\u2022 Also I saw Maleficent and it was awesome. Badass fairy lady.\n\u2022 I've been wavering between being mostly satisfied with the things I have right now as a means of moving forward, and being impatient to do something else, be someplace else. I have this vague idea of a thing I'd like to do, and sort of no idea how to get there, or if I'd like where that would physically take me, or if people are going to just laugh at me if I try to apply for new things. It's definitely scary. And it requires some thinking about, I guess.\n\u2022 In less frustrating and sad news...\nNope. I got nothing. That was all my news.\nTags: movies, professional blog, work woes\nfeeling: sleepy\nlistening: \"The Sound of Silence\" by Kina Grannis\nIn which Sky is employed!\n\u2022 So. That job that I hadn't exactly applied for but was probably qualified for anyway? I got it. I am employed, at least part time. It's nothing fancy, nothing I'm actually using my degree at all for\u2014but that's what I wanted, so I'm satisfied with that\u2014I'm just a tiny bit player in a massive conglomerate chain store. (Although I did proofread an email for a coworker, so that's sort of using my degree.) I was scheduled for three days of training videos and interactive powerpoints, but got everything done in one 7-hour shift yesterday and an hour and a half this morning. So I ended up actually working a whole shift today. And now my feets hurt. I got myself some gel insets for my shoes on the way home, for my whole shift tomorrow. Also black pants. Because I didn't own any.\n\u2022 Wooo employment!\n\u2022 Bonus: work is only about 4-5 blocks from where I live, so I've just been walking. It's been pretty consistently warm so it's been a pretty nice walk. (It was supposed to rain today, but didn't. Just to be on the safe side, I bought myself an umbrella when I was getting pants and gel inserts. Because I didn't actually own one, or really own anything that had a hood. And now I'll have an umbrella for when I'm in the UK this summer.) Yay minimal exercise!\n\u2022 Ow ow ow ow feet.\n\u2022 I'm maybe reading again? I mean, I didn't really stop reading entirely, I just stopped reading things that Goodreads counts towards my 2014 challenge. I reread a whole bunch of Tamora Pierce, and I reread Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, and I reread some Nora Roberts. Now I'm reading a book I've never read before. I read while I scarfed down a lunch sandwich at Panera (because it's just across the parking lot from work), and I'll probably read some more tonight. The new Merry Gentry book is coming out on Tuesday next, which will be the first new Laurel K. Hamilton book I've actually been interested in reading in a while.\nAnd there's your weekly summer dose of Sky's life.\nTags: books, work woes\nIn which Sky talks about X-Men: Days of Future Past.\nBefore I get into anything that might be spoilery, I will say that I liked the movie! I thought it was full of cool things, and interesting plot devices. Also: Michael Fassbender. He makes a movie worth it for me. James McAvoy was good too\u2014although that hair, yikes\u2014and obviously so was Hugh Jackman. I recommend the movie to anyone who likes this sort of thing. You'll probably like this one too.\nNow. Spoilery things. This is your last warning.\n( Spoilers behind the cut!Collapse )\nYeah, that's all I got. It was good. Michael Fassbender still gets me all hot and bothered.\n[x-posted to my Tumblr.]\nTags: movies: x-men days of future past\nIn which Sky buys books and sees Journey in concert.\nI'm going to try posting more like once a week for a while, and see how that goes? It's been a week-ish since my last post, so here we go.\n\u2022 I did the graduation thing, and actually had a pretty good time. I had no idea who was going to be speaking, but they got a local artist to do the commencement speech, and I thought it was pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised. There was a student speaker who was a student I'd literally never heard of or met, but that's not surprising. Since I never lived in the dorms, I was never really forced to mingle with students from other programs. I only knew the few who had been in various classes for Core requirements. Anyway, it was a nice ceremony, shorter than I thought it would be which was nice, and it felt like a good conclusion to my time at the university.\n\u2022 My grandparents (father's side) came, as did my mom and stepdude. There was some shuffling around and seeing one group for lunch and then the other group for dinner, but it worked out well and went much smoother than I thought it would. For four days I ate really well, and much more diversely than I generally feed myself. (I don't eat badly, really, but I will happily eat fruit for breakfast and then salad for dinner four days in a row. So.)\n\u2022 I got an entirely unexpected, and extremely generous Amazon gift card from a friend of my mother's, and I already went and spent about half of it. With my Prime membership I get free 2-day shipping, so the first installment just got here. I got:\n\u2192 Books 5-7 of seanan_mcguire's October Daye series, although book 7 is the one book that will be getting here tomorrow. I have all the books on my Kindle, but I need them in hard copy. (More on that in a moment.) No, I don't already own books 1-4. I got the ones I like best first, and I'll get the rest soon.\n\u2192 Books 5-7 of Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series. I do actually own books 1 and 2, but again I got the ones I like best first, and I will fill in the series later.\n\u2192 Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, because I super loved it. And also because it has art by Noelle Stevenson ( gingerhaze) for the cover. And because... I just... it spoke to me, okay?\n\u2022 I also got my trip to England and Ireland in August as a graduation present from my mom and stepdude. Pardon me if I seem somewhat sedate when I say that, I just don't know how to accurately express the levels of excitement I'm feeling in text. But yeah. I am SO. EXCITED. I'll be going to WorldCon in London and then ShamroKon in Dublin, both of which will be attended by seanan_mcguire, hence the need for books she can actually sign. Patricia Briggs will also be there, so I will get some of those books signed too. (Note to Self: Figure out how many books I can actually take with me.) I've already started looking at some things I can do in London and Dublin while I'm there, and I think it's going to be a good time!\n\u2022 This one isn't really a graduation present, but it coincided with graduating anyway: I saw Journey in concert last night! It was awesome! (It was actually Tower of Power -> The Steve Miller Band -> Journey, and even Steve Miller was pretty awesome. You know, Fly Like An Eagle and all.) I didn't actually scream myself hoarse, but my throat is a little sore and scratchy today. It was interesting to watch Journey play with their replacement lead singer, who they found on YouTube. Imagine being asked by a band you really like to come sing with them. And not just sing with them once, but come sing with them all the time! There's not a good writerly analogy for that, but I guess it would be kind of like if my favorite author decided they didn't want to keep writing their series and would I please take over. Anyway. It was interesting.\n\u2022 I'm not currently wearing my Journey t-shirt that I got last night. It's white, and it seems like it might rain. Not that I'm planning on leaving the house. But, you know, better safe than inadvertently winning a wet t-shirt contest that I'm the only contestant of.\n\u2022 X-Men: Days of Future Past comes out at the end of this week, and I have tentative plans to see it next week, I think. I am really looking forward to more James McAvoy (terrible hair and all) and Michael Fassbender. Oh yes. And all those other people too. And Hugh Jackman. Can't forget about him.\nYeah, I think that's all for today. More next week, I guess.\nTags: books, concerts: journey, movies: x-men days of future past, travel\nlistening: \"Faithfully\" - Journey\nIn which Sky talks mostly about TV because that's all there is in life right now.\n\u2022 Today it's cold and lazily snowing here in Santa Fe. That's right. It's May 13th, and it's snowing. This place has the weirdest weather.\n\u2022 This Saturday I'm going to put on a cap and gown and do the whole walking/shaking hands/accepting my \"diploma\" thing. (The school already mailed me my diploma since I actually finished my course work and all that in Dec. I think it's sort of hilarious that I'm doing this all now, but it is what it is.) Various family is coming, and there will be some juggling of time, but I think it will be a nice time all around. Certainly I'm looking forward to being done with everything concerned with this college.\n\u2022 I had a job interview today, for a position I'm not entirely sure I applied for but that I'm probably qualified for and which seems like it might be more interesting (and in some ways less anxiety-inducing for me) than the position I think I actually did apply for. I'm pretty sure the people liked me, and I'm pretty sure the interview went well. Think good thoughts for me, internet peoples. I really need something that's going to bring in some money.\n\u2022 This is the week of season finales on TV. Once Upon A Time ended on Sunday, and had about three minutes of everyone being happy and me crying because it was so beautiful and amazing before all that happiness got stabbed in the face and everything was terrible again. I mean, it was wonderful, but I'm pretty sure my cat is concerned for my well-being now, since I actually screeched in horror. The current seasons of Castle and The Blacklist both ended last night, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will end tonight. Elementary will end this Thursday.\n\u2022 On the other hand, Game of Thrones is currently in the middle of it's current season, and Da Vinci's Demon's just passed the halfway mark. Plus, Penny Dreadful just started, and Crossbones will begin at the end of the month, so it's not like I won't have anything to watch.\n\u2022 I'm currently rereading various of the Tortall books by Tamora Pierce. I really love these books. If I ever write YA stuff, I want it to be like these amazing stories, and not have some of the weird tropes that show up in YA these days.\nWell, that might be it for now. I need to do some cleaning around my apartment, and I should maybe do that while there's daylight.\nTags: books, job hunting is the worst, sfuad is a funny acronym, this place has weird weather, tv, tv: once upon a time\nIn which Sky is less busy and still unemployed.\n\u2022 I watched the entire first season of Arrow in 3 days, all so I can get to the two episodes in the second season with Grant Gustin. Lookit me, waving my nerd flag! All joking aside, it was pretty good. When the second season ends, I'll get my hands on the whole thing and then marathon that, too.\n\u2022 Other TV I'm currently watching and enjoying for the curious: Once Upon A Time, Game of Thrones, Elementary, Vikings, Da Vinci's Demons, and of course Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.\n\u2022 Stiiiiiiiill looking for a job. I finally got an interview somewhere, and it was a good interview, but I'm genuinely not sure what my chances are? And the guy said he would probably know by Friday (that is, two days ago) so I should probably hear back one way or the other tomorrow. Fingers and other appropriate appendages crossed.\n\u2022 (If I get a job I can finally get a blu ray player, and then I can actually watch some of the movies I bought when I was with someone who had a PS3.)\n\u2022 I bought a basil plant from Trader Joe's the other day just so I could have fresh pesto in my life again. I whipped up a batch and it was totally amazing. And the plant is recovering from the fact that I took most of its leaves to make that batch. It's sort of amazing how quickly this plant is growing, actually.\n\u2022 Speaking of which: it's a really good thing I've kept the plant inside my house, because last night and this morning it fucking snowed. Even though we'd been having nice weather in the 70's, and then BAM! Snow. Weird ass New Mexico weather.\nTags: job hunting is the worst, kitchen adventures, tv, tv: arrow\nIn which Sky is a busy little bee.\nOh yeah, posting when only a little over a month has passed. Getting better at this. Go me.\n\u2022 I'm back from Israel. It was pretty awesome. I took 300+ pictures, but I'm not that great of a photographer. Some are good, though. I'll probably post those on Facebook (at some point...) so if we're friends there, keep an eye out for them. I definitely enjoyed the food though, and I'm definitely going to have to try my hand at making some of it. Like falafel, which is actually really easy. There are opportunities for me to go back to Israel, but I don't know that that's a thing I necessarily feel the need to do. But we'll see where life takes me, I guess.\n\u2022 I also moved! I am in my own little one bedroom/one bathroom apartment now. It's the perfect size for me and my cat, though there are things that I don't have still. My last place was big enough and had enough extra floor space thatI could just store things on the floor if there wasn't a place for them. This place is smaller, so that's not really an option. It does have way more closet space, though. So that's helping.\n\u2022 Work! I have a job interview in an hour. I'm not entirely clear on what I'd be doing in the job, but the job ad requested someone creative, intuitive, well-organized, internet savvy, reliable, optimistic, and \"interested in exploring a wide variety of projects in the worlds of Art, Cultural Awareness, and the Environment.\" So fingers crossed. I think I'm a pretty good interviewee, but I could still use some luck and good vibes.\nI don't really know what to say here these days. So I guess that's it.\nTags: home again home again, travel\nlistening: \"Let It Go\" - Court Clark cover\nIn which Sky jets off to parts unknown!\nWhoa, I haven't posted since my birthday.\n\u2022 I'm leaving for NYC tomorrow, which is a stopover on my way to Israel. I'm going to Israel!! I leave on Sunday, have an overnight flight, and then I get to be trotted around to see various touristy things, and eat good food. The food part is paramount, as the trip I'm going on is a Culinary trip. Among the first things we do is go to brunch at a dairy farm and try \"boutique cheeses.\" Nomnomnom. I'm going to eat all the food and take all the pictures.\n\u2022 I'm also moving at the end of the month. I get back from Israel on the 20th, then get back home from NYC on the 24th, and then my lease is up on the 28th. Which means I feel like I'm running around a lot like a chicken without a head. Yipes.\n\u2022 I read 8 books in January! And none yet so far this month. I'm not sure that's likely to change, although I suppose there will be travel time in which to read (first airplanes and then buses and then more airplanes). Still, I think I will be able to meet my original goal of 50 books read for this year, and perhaps surpass it! Go go go me!\n\u2022 I don't have a travel icon! I'll fix this eventually. In the meantime, have a hungry kitty.\nThat's really all the news there is of my life. Aaaand crap, I really need to finish packing.\nTags: books, reading, travel\nIn which Sky turns 25.\nIt's my birthday! Which means my traditional breakfast of blintzes and then dinner of homemade spaghetti sauce. My dad made the sauce yesterday, but as soon as he loads and starts his dishwasher, we'll start making the blintzes. Both of these are made using my grandmother's recipes, and have been my preferred birthday food for many years.\nIt ought to be noted that the spaghetti sauce is not, by any means, a traditional Italian recipe. We're Russian/German jews, not Italian jews. But it's super yummy. I generally think that it should be eaten without noodles, in a sort of open-face sandwich on garlic bread. Because it's just that good.\nJeez. Even just writing about all that has made me hungry.\nIt's going to be a good, happy, relaxing day.\nMaybe I'll even write a little.\nTags: birthday!\nIn which Sky catches up.\n\u2022 First things first: the Monday before Thanksgiving, The Boyfriend and I broke up. I'm not going to get into it here because I'm pretty much done thinking about the whys and whens and all of that. Suffice to say that I'm okay and I think it was the right decision to make.\n\u2022 School is done, which means I am reading tons, hanging out with my dad, playing lots of Guild Wars 2, watching movies, applying to jobs, writing in my journal, and considering which project I was to write next. I'm taking some time to be on \"winter break\" but then I will need to find a job and make some money and be a productive part of society (and also start paying off student loans, yikes).\n\u2022 Writing-wise, I'm not doing a whole lot. I'm taking a little break. But I'm starting to think about what I want to do next. There are two things that I like and want to tinker with, but I don't think either of them is ready to start writing. But I might have an idea for something else. So yeah. And I'll probably start revisions/rewrites on the novel I wrote over the summer soon, too. There's at least one major narrative line that needs to be totally redone. So. That's sort of an exciting prospect.\n\u2022 I'm really, really sad that all of the (appealing to me) fandom blends from Adagio Tea seem to have caffeine in them. Except, oddly, the Loki blend. When I have money, maybe I'll get myself some of that.\n\u2022 I haven't yet seen The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug because the plan was to go with ex-boyfriend before he was ex. But now that he's not around, I don't really have anyone who I think would be interested in going to see it. Or at least, no one I'm close with or who comes immediately to mind. So that's sad. I really, really want to see it.\nYeah, that's about all I have to say at the moment.\nTags: break ups, tea, writing\nIn which Sky is DONE.\nI have turned in all three final projects, one for each of my three classes, which means that (other than the class I have to show up for tomorrow afternoon for someone else's final presentation) I am done with this bullshit forevermore.\nAlso, it turns out that, if you graduate in Dec. when there's no commencement ceremony, the exit procedures for this school entirely consist of, \"Congrats! You're done! Now go away and don't come back.\" Which, yeah, basically that was my plan, but it's sort of nice to know that's what I'm supposed to do.\nP.S. Yes, I will probably end up walking in next May's ceremony. Cap and gown and all.\nP.P.S. Appropriate icon is appropriate. Unless you're seeing this via LJ, in which case you get nothing.\nTags: sfuad is a funny acronym\nIn which Sky goes to the doctor.\n\u2022 I survived the doctor's appointment! The nurse took my blood pressure and heart rate and all that before the doctor actually came in, and noted that my heart rate was up. Yeah, duh, of course it's up. I'm in a doctor's office and quietly (internally) freaking out.\n\u2022 Then, even though the nurse didn't think that I would have to be jabbed with any needles (this time), the doctor ended up recommending that I get a tetanus shot before going to Israel. Totally reasonable. Thing I Learned Today: shots actually hurt more than tattoos (for me) because of how much deeper the needle goes into you. I did not burst into tears like the last time I had to get a shot (about 10 years ago, that time at the dentist doesn't count because I was huffing happy gas), I was very calm about it, even to the point of calmly saying, \"Ow.\" I did lay down though. Since I didn't know what my reaction was going to be, I didn't want to faint or something.\n\u2022 Bonus: they did a pregnancy test before the shot and yay! Not pregnant!\n\u2022 And the doctor filled out the doctor's note for my Israel trip, so now I have gotten the people all the paperwork they've asked me for and I am just waiting to hear about which group I will be put in, and for my flight assignments. (Which, apparently, will be sent out at the beginning of December for an early February trip. You'd think they would be a little bit more considerate about timing, since people going on the trips are responsible for getting to the city of departure on their own. I guess two months is an ok amount of time to find a flight, but more notice means a cheaper flight. So.)\n\u2022 I will likely have to go back to the doctor sometime soon for a full workup\u2014today was mostly about the doctor's note and establishing primary care. Which means blood work will be done and also a Lady Exam. All of which are good things, even if being anywhere near doctors sort of scares the shit out of me.\n\u2022 I have a long weekend this weekend. I always have Fridays off, but my Thursday class was cancelled because the teacher will be out of town. Woo! Freedom!\n\u2022 Long weekend means some time to do writing and planning for writing. I really need to start the rough drafts of the Myth, Archetype, & Fairy Tale collection I'm writing, and also I ought to get things together for NaNoWriMo this year. So that's what my weekend will be all about. Homework, homework writing, and writing.\n\u2022 Oh, also, baseball. My weekend will be full of baseball. My team didn't make it to the World Series\u2014but they got closer this year than they've gotten in my memory, and they've been steadily improving for the last few years, so I've got my fingers crossed for a World Series in their close future. (Fun fact: the last time they won a World Series\u2014which was also the last time they even went to the World Series\u2014was the years I was born.)\nI guess that's it. I'm trying to update a little more regularly here. We'll see if that happens.\nTags: keeping healthy and getting fit, travel\nlistening: \"Never Look Away\" by Vienna Teng\nIn which Sky watches a lot of TV and finally gets ready to go to the doctor.\nArgh, more than a month has gone by since I last posted. I was going to be better than this! So, lessee, what's new this month?\n\u2022 School still goes. So that's not exactly new. I was feeling like I was drowning in homework and work in general last week (and possibly the week before), but I seem to have gotten my head above the water again. I am so incredibly thankful that this is my last semester.\n\u2022 Myth, Archetype, & Fairy Tale is still by far the best and most awesome class. We all have to do a final project, and since the class is mostly filled with Writing Majors most of us are writing. I'm going to be writing a small collection of retold tales. Red Riding Hood the Werewolf Slayer, Maleficent's Curse, the Love Story of Hades & Persephone, Cassandra of Troy: Modern Day Prophetess are all the things that I've sort of got a handle on so far. I want to do something with Captain Hook but I'm not sure what yet. So we'll see. I'm pretty excited.\n\u2022 J and I moved furniture around the house last week, putting the TV, Wii and cable box in the bedroom and making space for a small desk/work nook in the corner of the living room for me. Both of these changes have made life much easier and more enjoyable in this teensy apartment we call home. Plus, watching movies (like The Lone Ranger, LOL) in our bedroom on the big TV is much nicer.\n\u2022 I have a doctor's appointment a week from tomorrow! This will be the first time I've seen a doctor (other than the dentist or my optometrist) in much too long. I'm definitely not looking forward to having bloodwork done\u2014tattoos have not exactly made me fond of needles, but I think I might be past the post of spontaneously bursting into tears at even the sight of a syringe\u2014but I am looking forward to having a reliable someone to prescribe birth control (rather than my school nurse) and possible someone to prescribe sleeping pills. This sleeping-poorly bullshit has got to stop.\n\u2022 Plus, also, I need a doctor's note in order to go to Israel this February. Free trip to Israel because I'm Jewish, woo! I've gotten them everything they need except the doctor's note (because I don't currently have a doctor, whoops) and I really, really hope that the Culinary trip hasn't been filled by the time I get it to them because it seems like that might be one of the only trips I would really enjoy. So, fingers crossed and all that.\n\u2022 This fall's TV is so far awesome. I'm watching Sleepy Hollow (and hiding from all the scary parts behind my hands), Downton Abbey (how much do I love Mary? a lot!), Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (which I am really loving to bits and pieces), Once Upon A Time (which continues to be full of awesomeness and their Peter Pan is my new favorite), Castle (because I can't give up on it now), Masters of Sex (which I am watching entirely because of Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan) and Elementary (because, Sherlock Holmes. duh.)\n\u2022 On a totally different note: I really dislike how DW's tagging works, in that I really like it when LJ will show you all the tags you have that start with L if you type that in. DW only shows you one option, and since I don't remember all my tags, it's less useful to me. I always have to cross check my tags with LJ when I post here.\nETA: Oh oh oh! One more thing!\n\u2022 J and I are going to the east coast for the weekend after Thanksgiving! (Which is when my mother's family gets together to celebrate Thanksgiving, since there are six of them, and they all have significant others so they go their separate ways on the actual holiday.) This is exciting because it's going to give us Friday evening and some of Sunday in NYC together. He's going to bring his camera and I'm going to take him to some touristy places and feed him real bagels and real (fake) Chinese food and real pizza. And maybe a falafel sandwich from a cart. And he'll get to meet Aaron on Sunday, and maybe Mira and Em depending on what those two are up to around then. So that's exciting too!\nIt's a shame y'all over at LJ can't see my awesome Mary/Downton Abbey icon. :p\nTags: boyfriend, keeping healthy and getting fit, sfuad is a funny acronym, sky watches tv, travel, tv, writing\nfeeling: warm\nlistening: Some shit J is listening to...\nIn which Sky continues on.\nWell hey, lookit this. An update!\n\u2022 It's Friday the 13th! (/makes spooky noises) Yeah, whatever. I don't actually think that this day is cursed or bad luck or what-have-you. 13 is a perfectly nice number, and considering that the 10th of this month is my divorced parents' anniversary and then the 11th is, well, September 11th, 13 is a nice change.\n\u2022 School continues apace. Classes are going well so far. I have a bunch of homework for this weekend, which probably means less video gaming. Oh well. I don't want to fall behind in this, my last semester. Gaming can continue one I have a degree in my hand.\n\u2022 Still haven't re-upped my DW paid account, but I'm totally going to. But speaking of that, though, where do I find icons these days? It used to be that if you wanted icons, you went and searched for communities for that thing on LJ and there would be tons of icons. Not so much anymore. I want to swap some icons out when I re-up my paid account, but this (of course, duh) will mean getting new icons that match my current interests. But now I have no idea where to find icons.\n\u2022 J is in a job flux at the moment. It's actually nice. We're not stressed about money (for now) so I'm hoping he'll be able to find something that he enjoys doing, rather than working at GameStop and being stressed out because, oh yeah, they keep getting robbed at gunpoint.\n\u2022 Other than school things, no writing is happening in my life at the moment. It's a little bit annoying. It would probably be more annoying, except that I keep having good ideas for a novel that's been percolating in my head for a while now, and they mostly mean I'm going to have to do some research for the form of the novel before I can even begin to put words down on the page. And then, because my head is sort of in that novel's space, I can't seem to get it to focus on anything else that I might be able to write. Something needs to be done about this.\nTags: boyfriend, sfuad is a funny acronym, writing\nIn which Sky has feelings about things.\n\u2022 So, school started again. Yesterday. That's a thing. I am reservedly excited, or perhaps just content, with my schedule and classes for this (MY LAST) semester. It's light enough to allow me a life outside school, but involved enough and interesting enough to keep me entertained enough to get through it with relative ease. Or at least, that's the working theory. Classes this semester are:\n\u00bb Myth, Archetype, & Fairy Tale: By far my most exciting class (for me). Also, I seem to be my teacher's go-to person to answer things she can't remember well enough to explain. Which is to say, I explained the plot of Reign of Fire, Elektra's actual role in Greek myth and why \"Elektra Complex\" is inaccurate mythologically speaking, what the Greek word eidos means, and what little I knew of Mithraism. This is my field, okay? I have feelings, and I will not be ashamed.\n\u00bb The Writer in the World: Didn't know what this class was until this morning, but I guess it's sort of just about exploring our writing, and what writing can be, and where writing (and language) came from and how it effects us as writers. I guess. Idk. It's an interesting group of people (about 10 I think, of which I am one of four fiction writers, that's so weird to me) and a fun teacher, so it should be interesting and fun at the very least.\n\u00bb Intermediate Poetry: I don't know if I ever mentioned, but my academic advisor used to really annoy the crap out of me. I wouldn't get complete answers from her or she would send me form emails that 99% didn't apply to me, numbers (like, this one time, how many credits I would need to graduate) would change, and I once had to give her the same answer three times in a row before it seemed to penetrate that the words I was saying were actually an answer to her question. All of this is to say that this advisor (who is no longer with the school, gee I wonder why) failed to mention that my last four credits not only needed to be an Upper Division course, but they also needed to be in a writing genre that wasn't one of the two I had chosen to \"specialize\" in. So that's how I ended up in this class. Same teacher as Writer in the World so I'm hoping that I will be able to deal with poetry (and, let's face it, my fear of it) because he's awesome and fun.\n\u2022 Every time I read a school book on my Kindle I love it a little bit more. I recently swapped my mom my Kindle (the one with the keyboard) for a Paperwhite, and I love it a lot. Like, \"I want to keep it at my side and in sight at all times just in case\" a lot.\n\u2022 General writing wisdom tells the writer to put a draft away for a bit (if the writer has the time and isn't being crushed by a deadline) before coming back to revise it, in order to get fresh(er) eyes. I think this sounds like a great idea. So the rough draft is with some readers, and now I am thinking about what I want to write for the next little while.\n\u2022 Read: I'll be starting the next novel sometime soon. Ideally sometime this week. Idk what it is, yet, but I'm definitely starting it.\n\u2022 If you haven't been watching HBO's The Newsroom, you should totally get on that. Because even though this season's plot is sort of meh, the writing and the characters are amazing. (It's Aaron Sorkin, and I know you all know that I worship at the altar that is Aaron's Sorkin's TV writing, but seriously. Watch the damn show. P.S. Sloan Sabbith.)\n\u2022 I made almond milk and cashew milk last week. Tasty and easy and, particularly, dairy free. I'm going to try making my own coconut milk this week, and here's hoping it's just as tasty and easy because shredded coconut is actually cheaper than almonds and cashews. By a lot. I'm also going to try making my own granola bars, since it is apparently easy and could produce a healthier and cheaper alternative to the store bought ones. (And bulk rolled oats are like 69\u00a2/lb at the store. Super cheap.)\n\u2022 I've been having a weird breathing/swallowing issue today. Which I have been ignoring because doctors what are those. (But if it gets any worse or weirder I'll totally go to the school nurse.) Mostly I think it's just because my body isn't used to getting up before noon anymore and it's protesting. And my ankle was aching today after I got home. I might have pulled something in it a little yesterday. My body is falling apart. Seriously. I'm too young for this crap.\n\u2022 Huh. DW paid account expired... sometime. I'll re-up it sometime in the coming month for all the icons that I love and can't do without.\nIn which Sky finishes a thing.\nWeighing in at 132 pages, 40,504 words: the (extremely rough) finished first draft of my novel.\nIn which Sky forgets to post this for hours. Whoops.\nLess than a month has gone by and I'm posting again already? Is the world ending? What's going on?\nNah, it's just me and time on my hands.\n\u2022 I gave my LJ a new look. I like it, though the names on my friends list are light gray and really hard to read, so idk about that. Still, it's pretty and summery. So I am satisfied.\n\u2022 To use a horse racing metaphor: I\u2019m rounding the far turn and coming into the home stretch down towards the wire. That is, I've hit the climax, so now I just have to resolve it all, and then finish things. Actually, I should be done (by which I mean the whole plot will be laid in, even if there will be extensive revisions) by the end of this month. Which is exciting! I've never finished a novel before! Short stories, yes, though those are few and far between.\n\u2022 And once I finish with the first draft, I'm going to start revisions. Part of my Independent Study this summer is revisions, which makes sense. The way I've always written my academic papers was to just start writing and write through the end, then once I was done go back to the beginning and make the beginning jive to how the paper ended. Which is similar to how this book is turning out.\n\u2022 At least it's working, though! Writing novels! Funtimes.\n\u2022 I'm catching up on TV shows, podcasts, movies, and audiobooks. I can knit while I do all these things, which I haven't been doing much of lately. Not for any real reason except that so many of the things I do can't be done at the same time as anything else. Like... I can't write (either on the computer (typing) or in a notebook) and knit at the same time. I would need four arms. And I can't read and listen to a podcast at the same time and pay attention to both.\n\u2022 Speaking of audiobooks: I finished Fellowship of the Ring recently and started Two Towers. It's an interesting exercise. And I would watch Fellowship of the Ring in pretty pretty Blu Ray, but we got rid of our PS3 (because we never used it unless I was watching a movie that wasn't on my computer) and we haven't replaced it yet with a Blu Ray player. But we will! And then all the prettiness will be mine.\nLol, that awkward moment when you find a window hiding behind the one you've been using and find a finished but unposted journal entry. It's easily been 4 hours since I wrote this. I think I'm done now.\nTags: audiobooks, storying is hard, writing\nfeeling: hot\nlistening: \"Burn\" - Ellie Goulding\nIn which Sky gets selected for jury duty which is kind of hilarious given how much she hates people.\nYep, looks like it's time for my monthly update.\n\u2022 Writing continues apace! Not quite as much as I'd like, but I got stuck at one point and I thought I could skip ahead, but I realized that I'd gotten to the point of the story where the thing I skipped that I wasn't sure about was highly relevant to the rest of the story. So I sat on my butt and thought about it for a long time, and then forged ahead. So. Now I am trying to figure out how the climax of the story is going to work.\n\u2022 On the other hand, I've been called up for jury duty and I have to report bright and early tomorrow morning, so I foresee plenty of time sitting around waiting for whatever to happen where I can be writing (since my first draft is entirely handwritten in a notebook). On the other other hand, I'm leaving for Phoenix at stupid o'clock Weds. morning and that's one of the days that I'm supposed to report, so... I mean, I'm not just going to not go to Phoenix and not see Neil Gaiman. I'll tell them I can come in some other time if they really, really want me to be screened as a juror. (LOL, I hate people, I would be the worst juror ever.)\n\u2022 I've been trying to keep up with my knitting too. The things that I'm working on right now is a giant blanket in sock yarn (see: tiny) and a sweater for autumn/winter. But I can only seem to do a row at a time before I have to put it down and do something less complicated. Which is ridiculous, since nothing I'm doing on either (at the moment) is all that complicated. (The sweater will get more complicated soon, but I am not worried.) It's sort of annoying, actually.\n\u2022And speaking of knitting: I usually listen to audiobooks when I knit because it's enough like reading that it sort of feels like I'm managing to read and knit at the same time. And I'm one chapter away from the end of Fellowship of the Ring which is amazing! But... there are other things to do while knitting right now. Like... watch The Vampire Diaries (more on that in a moment). This would be so much easier if there were a dozen of me with like... a hivemind. I could read and knit and write and watch movies and surf the internet all at the same time. (Not to mention the fact that I could write a dozen books at the same time. I could be stupid prolific.)\n\u2022 And according to the security at the court house, I can't even bring my knitting because the needles will probably be seen as a potential weapon! (I mean, my plan is to write, but I could have used that time in other ways, too.)\n\u2022 Anyway, hah, yeah, The Vampire Diaries. I like it slightly better than Teen Wolf since the only saving grace of the latter is Dylan O'Brien. At some point I will make myself watch it, but right now I'm all about the vampires and their dumbass shenanigans.\n\u2022 Speaking of werewolves and vampires and writing, though... Ever notice how, when you have a deadline on a particular thing (i.e.: my novel), a zillion other things you could be doing instead suddenly fill your mind? I have actually had three dreams (so far) this summer that I've thought, \"I need to use this in a book.\" But I can't actually take the time to fiddle with them right now, because I really need to focus on the one thing. It's frustrating. I say this in relation to werewolves because two of those ideas have been wolf-related (though not necessarily werewolf related). Apparently my dreaming mind loves wolves. Not that I'm complaining.\nThat's basically what's been going on. Ugh, getting up early tomorrow.\nTags: audiobooks, jury duty is the worst, knitting, sky watches tv, storying is hard, writing\nlistening: \"Pompeii\" - Bastille\nIn which Sky returns.\nToday's various and sundries:\n\u2022 I'm home from my trip. I mean, I have been for like... a week. But I thought I ought to point it out.\n\u2022 I'm writing! Since my project this summer is to finish my novel (which I am getting school credit for, so extra win) I need to be writing about 500 words a day to bump my total word count up by about 40k words. So far I haven't been keeping a regular daily word count, but I've been binge-writing. I wrote 5 pages (handwritten, about 320 words per page) yesterday, and I'm about to get ready to sit down with it today. So that's fun.\n\u2022 For those who actually care for the occasional insight into whatever I might be doing at the moment, you might check out my Tumblr, where I post about whatever TV show I happen to be watching, pictures of my cat, random thoughts, and random reblogged fandom-type things. Just, you know, in case you're curious. I definitely post there more than I post here.\n\u2022 (Hm, I really need to start my writing blog up again over there. I should sit down and see if I can make a plan for that.)\n\u2022 Now that school is over I'm reading again! This is marvelous. I'm starting with the newest Mercy Thompson book, Frost Burned, which so far is great. The POV is switching up a little in it, which is really interesting since the new POV is an interesting character. So yeah. The Mercy Thompson series and the October Daye series are my two favorite Urban Fantasy series, so I am really happy to start my summer reading off with something that is so dear to me.\n\u2022 Plus, reading Urban Fantasy novels like this help me get back into the headspace for writing my own Urban Fantasy novel. (Did I mention that my novel is an Urban Fantasy type thing? I can't remember. But if I didn't, well, now you know.)\n\u2022 J and I have plans to go to Phoenix in late June for Neil Gaiman's book tour. (It was either Phoenix or Denver, and J has family in Phoenix, so we're making a mini vacation out of it.) Apparently this is Gaiman's Last Book Tour Ever, so of course I have to see him and get the new book and have it signed. And it's a chance for my boyfriend to experience \"my world\" in a way.\nThat might actually be it for now. I ought to go write.\nTags: neil gaiman, reading, travel, writing\nlistening: \"Beggar's Guild\" - Roadkill Ghost Choir\nIn which Sky posts from Denver!\nI'm in Denver! And I found a free wifi thingy! Yay! This is my celebratory icon.\n\u2022 Except for one script I have to revise and another really short one I have to write all before midnight tonight, school is done for the semester. Whoo!\n\u2022 Let summer vacation ensue! (Also the warms. I'm done with wintery weather now. Give me some warms.)\n\u2022 I'm on my way to the east coast for a few days for a family thing. And I will briefly get to see some friends before I fly back. So that is really nice.\nYeah, that's all there is. Back to editing the aforementioned script.\nTags: school's out for summer!, sfuad is a funny acronym, travel\nIn which Sky writes from a new computer. :)\nThis month's post, because I always think I should.\n\u2022 School is school. But it's almost done for the semester, and then I only have one left. So that's kind of neat. I think I actually wrote some good stuff this semester, so that's a bonus too. Some of that I can edit into a shape that might be useable for publishing. So I guess we'll see.\n\u2022 Speaking of school, next week is kind of hectic. A bunch of things I had sort of vaguely planned for \"the future\" all ended up in the same week, and all next week. Yikes.\n\u2022 Camp NaNoWriMo is not really happening. I got about 1200 words, and then life caught up. Even those words were really hard since I was trying to force them into third person from first. I might be able to find the time to get some more words down, but I am positive I won't meet my 15k word goal. Bleh.\n\u2022 J got a nice desktop gaming computer and gave me his MacBook Pro because my MacBook was dying. It's nice having a computer that actually does what I tell it to do and with some relative quickness. Also: lighted keyboard!\nMeh, life is pretty boring these days, so that's it.\nTags: camp nanowrimo, laptop, sfuad is a funny acronym\nIn which Sky didn't get in to Clarion West (sadface), but will still be writing this summer.\n\u2022 Well, I heard back from Clarion West, and alas I was not accepted. I don't think I had any real expectations either way, but it was still a disappointment.\n\u2022 Though, that makes my summer plans sort of neat. I'll be working with one of my teachers and finishing my novel (for school credit even!). Mostly because she wants to read the rest of it. Which is really encouraging.\n\u2022 J bought me a yoga DVD the other day, and I did a 20 minute yoga session on it yesterday. Which left me so sore, holy crap. It was just the intro stuff! My sides, my lower abs, and the back of my thighs protest just about every movement I take. I mean, I guess that means it worked, but still. Ow. I will absolutely be doing more just as soon as I am a little let ouchie.\n\u2022 I get to register for fall classes pretty soon. One of my teachers (the same one I'll be working with this summer) is teaching a lit class called (something like) \"Myth, Archetype, and Fairytales\" which I will absolutely be taking. Jung and Campbell! And a little bit of writing, to make it super interesting.\n\u2022 I might also be working with a different teacher on another novel as an independent study next semester. Because I'd like to have a few finished things by the time I graduate in Dec. so that means I actually need to write. And why not get credit for it (especially when there aren't any other interesting classes and I need a certain number of credits)? Not yet sure what I'll work on. I suppose whether or not I want to write my current novel's sequel will depend a lot on how I feel after I've finished it this summer.\n\u2022 I am planning on pounding out some words for the April session of Camp NaNoWriMo. Not a whole novel's worth, but probably the beginning of something. I have a thing I'm excited about, so I'll be working on that.\n\u2022 I discovered that books that I find too boring to actually read can be listened to while I knit. So I am exactly half way through listening to The Fellowship of the Ring on audiobook. (Or at least, I'm about to start \"Book Two\" of it, which is right after the ringwraiths get their butts handed to them by the river.) I have the other two Lord of the Rings books for after that, and also Frank Herbert's Dune and The Mists of Avalon for when those are done. Because I need to have these things in my general knowledge, but I haven't ever been able to get through them. Audiobooks are a happy solution to this problem! I'm planning on getting some Jane Austen, too.\n\u2022 J also got me the extended edition Lord of the Rings collection on blu ray, too. So my present to myself for having finished \"reading\" The Fellowship of the Ring will probably be to watch it in beautiful HD.\nYeah, that's it. I love this icon.\nTags: camp nanowrimo, movies, sfuad is a funny acronym, some books are just too boring to read s, writing\nlistening: Guild Wars 2 music...\nIn which Sky did things with her writing.\nLast night I:\n\u2022 sent in my application to Clarion West;\n\u2022 also sent a short story to a New Writer's contest.\nSo, uh... Fingers crossed and wish me luck and all that?\nTags: things i am doing with my writing, writing\nfeeling: anxious\nIn which Sky resurfaces briefly and talks about school.\nOh my god, has it really been a month and a half since I last updated my online journals? What even, self? (Good thing that wasn't really one of my Resolutions for 2013. I would have been failing it pretty hard already.) So, lessee, what's been going on in my life lately...\n\u2022 School started, and is going pretty well. Writing is happening for it, which is good in general. I'm taking Advanced Fiction, Intermediate Screenwriting, and a required class called Senior Reading which is my favorite thing ever, as it turns out.\n\u2022 My screenwriting teacher wants me to write the pilot for a sitcom rather than attempt writing a feature length film script, which is ridiculous because, how do I funny? No seriously. Humor is strange to me. However, I'm shamelessly ripping off of the year that inthebookfort and I lived together, so I have some recorded quotes from there that I can use. But alas, I am not Aaron Sorkin, so who knows.\n\u2022 I turned in my second story for workshop in Advanced Fiction this past Monday, and I have one more due later in the semester. And I'll have to revise one of the three for the end. The story that I turned in Monday wasn't complete, and I'm not sure I captured the tone I was going for, but at least I got out most of the story's skeleton. That might be the thing I choose to revise, depending on what the parameters of the next story are. So.\n\u2022 Senior Reading is interesting because there are five of us, the seniors that are getting ready to graduate (three this May and two of us in December) and we're compiling a manuscript of our work to be published into a book by Lulu.com. We also have to do a reading in the middle of the semester (hence the name of the course) but the book is the bulk of the work right now. We have to work with a graphic designer (a student at the school who's getting credit for this just like us) on the covers and all the typesetting and all of that. It's supposed to be a crash course on how publishing (sort of) works. So that's actually pretty interesting.\nHm, other than that? What else is going on...\n\u2022 Still writing. The bulk of my book for Senior Reading will be an excerpt of my current novel, which is still chugging right along. I'm actually learning things about how I like to write as I write this thing, so that's kind of cool.\n\u2022 Oh, also for Senior Reading: we're supposed to do this... essay thing... where we meditate on writing? The teacher wasn't all that clear on what it was supposed to be, since we are allowed to pick the type of format it ends up in. She said that it could be a traditional essay if that's what we wanted, or it could be more like a lyric essay, or it could focus on an aspect of writing, or a specific author, or things that inspire us... Yeah, it wasn't all that clear. But since it was supposed to be (sort of) about how our inspiration works, and a lot of what inspires me is music (or otherwise not just language) I suggested that maybe I could do something on Tumblr. My teacher loved the idea, so I'm now keeping a sort of curated multimedia museum of things that inspire me and how over on Tumblr: This Commonplace Book. I think it's sort of turning out to be an Author's Blog type of thing, which is kind of an interesting thought, since I've been wondering how I was going to do that in the future. Whatever I end up doing when I am An Author might be sort of like this, I think. Anyway, feel free to check that out. I think that it's best viewed when you use the links at the bottom left, filtering it by week.\n\u2022 Also, I'm applying to Clarion West this year. Neil Gaiman and Ellen Datlow will be teaching there this year, so it's sort of too good of an opportunity to pass up.

The only one of my \"resolutions\" from last year that I managed to accomplish is \"get a boyfriend\" which is sort of hilarious to me. (Though I wrote those resolutions after I met him, but before we started dating.)\n\u2022 Oh, also: I saw The Hobbit! I thought it was wonderful! There were a bunch of things that actually really struck me as fantastic, but the main ones were the references to the Lord of the Rings movies. Also, I liked that it was different, since The Hobbit is a different story. I have all sorts of feelings, and I can't wait for the next movies. And all the extended edition DVDs.\nI don't really have any resolutions for 2013 beyond: write (finish a first draft of this novel), love, live. And graduate. I get to finish school in December of 2013. So that's a big one.\nHopefully 2013 will be a good year. I've got my fingers crossed.\nTags: new year's eve, new year's resolutions\nIn which Sky is thankful. In general.\n\u2022 I hope everyone had a good Turkey Day. I myself spent most of it with the Boyfriend and his mother, who made us a fantastic feast (and then sent most of the turkey home with us). I also got to play him at Mario Kart, where we discovered that I sort of suck at fake driving. I did improve slightly over the few races we played, though, so I suppose there's hope for me yet.\n\u2022 I seem to have wrenched my neck in the night, and every time I think I've figured out where it's safe to hold my head so that I won't be in pain, the pain attacks. I would lay down and and hope that the pillow would work some sort of magic, but I actually have school work that I really need to get done before Monday. Still, ow.\n\u2022 Since Turkey Day has passed, Holiday cards are now relevant. I'll be posting a call for addresses probably tomorrow. Keep an eye out, and give me your addresses so I can send you a card. :)\n\u2022 I only have four more week of this semester. I am excite.\n\u2022 I was very fail this NaNoWriMo and thus this year will still not be my year to win. Not entirely unexpected, but I did actually get a good novel idea out of this year, and most of the details for it. I am looking forward to writing more of it and hopefully finishing it. It's actually something that I could see being published. And with sequels! So that's sort of neat, too!\n\u2022 (I ought to get a mood theme for my DW journal.)\nThis entry was originally posted at sky.dw.org. Comment here or there.

Which means 3 whole months have passed since the last time I posted. I haven't been totally absent though. I still read my flist and even occasionally comment on things. But apparently my life is pretty uninteresting even to me these days.\n\u2022 NaNoWriMo has started. I had a plan and a whole outline for what I was going to write. Or at least a general sort of outline for how the story was going to go. But then at midnight on Nov. 1 I got all panicked and decided I didn't want to write that and I don't have a back up, so I'm trying to figure out something new to write all in the next day or so in order not to miss too many days. None of my other novels-in-progress are anywhere close to being workable for this. Which is a pain in the ass, really, since it means I have to come up with something new and fully fleshed our and soon.\n\u2022 In a sort of subscript to the above, I've figured out the sort of things I want to write in general, but I don't know how I want to do them yet, so knowing that now isn't really helpful at all for NaNoWriMo. (On the plus side, I can now work on really figuring that out and maybe I'll have a start on it by the time I graduate and can start trying to publish shortly thereafter. I know there's no real reason I couldn't br trying to get published before I graduate, but that seems like too much for my brain to deal with, honestly.) Still, it's nice to have a (slightly more specific than it used to be) idea of the sort of writer I want to be.\n\u2022 Also: Storying is hard.\n\u2022 At the beginning of October, the Boyfriend and I moved into an apartment of our own. Which is nice because it's our space and not my mom's, and also because it's not super inconvenient to get to anything. It's nice and close to my school, to my dad, and to everything we actually need to be close to. Thus convenient.\n\u2022 We also got a new bed, which has led to better sleep for the both of us, so that's awesome.\n\u2022 Ugh. NaNoWriMo. I must think about that now and continue to forget that I even have an online journal.\nSelling: Manga, English & Japanese\nI don't usually do this\u2014or do it here\u2014but I wanted to make sure my Friends List got to see this too.

Waiting for the next book\u2014it comes out in September. Don't yet know what I'll be reading between now and then.\n\u2663 ... adopted a cat. His name is Dimitri (because he's at least part Russian Blue and that was the first Russian name I thought of) and is fat and talkative and hopefully happy.

Eventually we'll get him a girlfriend and name her Anastasia\u2014because it makes me LOL mostly.\n\u2663 ... checked my school account and discovered that the last class without a listed teacher finally has one and that all my classes finally have their book lists on the school bookstore. None of the books look like they might cause me to drown myself in the nearest water source (the sink) so I'm tentatively hoping this semester won't either.\n\u2663 ... stopped writing in my paper journal entirely.

Jeez. Obviously it's time to update this thing.\n\u2022 Though, really. Not a whole lot is going on. Life is, in general, pretty good.\n\u2022 A while ago, I found out someone who used to be a very close friend of mine got engaged. Today I found out that not only did they set a date for the wedding but they've sent out invitations and I didn't get one. This makes me very sad. Even though I am still happy for them.\n\u2022 I stopped reading for a while, but then I picked it back up again and I am happily working my way through Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire, and it's reminding me that I really like faeries and the stories that can be told with them. I also picked up Anne Rice's The Mummy or Ramses the Damned, which I'm mostly enjoying, mostly when the author stops trying to prove that she did her Ancient Egyptian research.\n\u2022 I also got a whole bunch more books that I am anxious to read. The problem with the Kindle is that my unread books take up no physical space and don't physically remind me that they are there and waiting to be read. That means I'm now free to accumulate as many unread books as I please, so long as I have the computer space to store them. I think this is probably dangerous for me.\n\u2022 Speaking of Kindles though, I gave my dad a Kindle for Father's Day and he loved it. He actually said that it was the best Father's Day ever, which makes me happy because I both got him a present that he really loves and can use, and because Father's Day was spent with both my dad and the Boyfriend and my dad had a great time with the both of us.\n\u2022 I really need to read more.\nI don't think I have a whole lot more to say, really. My life is actually pretty good these days\u2014but not all that interesting to read about, I suppose.\n\u2022 Oh oh oh! I saw Brave! And I thought it was excellent! Not really what the previews made it look like, but then they were pretty limited if they didn't want to give away certain important parts. But I really really liked what it turned out to be. I suspect I would have really really liked what I thought it was going to be too, but alas, that's not the movie that got made.\nTags: books, boyfriend, father/daughter bonding, friends, movie: brave, movies\nIn which Sky has feelings and doesn't really express them. :/\n\u2022 Went and saw The Avengers yesterday. It was totally amazing. There were a few things that I thought went unexplained, and a few things I would have like done better (or not at all), but overall I was impressed with the movie, and enjoyed it thoroughly. I'd like to see it again for a more nitpicky viewing, I think, as there were several moments where I remember thinking, \"Oh, that's sort of clever,\" and I can only remember one of them off the top of my head. So yes, another viewing might be necessary. (I don't think the Boyfriend will go again with me, though. Mayhaps my dad.)\n\u2022 Actually, I can't stop thinking about The Avengers from what I like to think of as a storyteller's point-of-view, and I think there are definitely things that could have been done better. But I didn't actually notice them as I was watching, so I guess that sort of means that it doesn't really make that much of a difference.\n\u2022 Avengers icons! (Though, if you're reading this on LJ, you won't be able to see it/them.)\n\u2022 Things in general are ok. School ends after next Friday. I'm really looking forward to this.\n\u2022 I'm very seriously thinking about how to make a presence online as a writer, and considering making a blog for this. But I keep getting held up because I feel like I still don't have an identity as a writer\u2014in that I don't yet have a name that I want to publish under. I have some ideas, but nothing I'm satisfied with yet. Which means that I keep not writing about things that I'd like to talk about. And that in turn is making me feel like I can't write about them, like I've lost the ability. (As an aside, I've also stopped writing in my paper journal. I keep swearing to fix this, and then I don't. I don't think I've written in it for about a month.) Anyway, I'll have to keep thinking about this name thing.\n\u2022 I'm excited for summer vacation, and I've a feeling it's not going to be anything like I originally planned.\nTags: gip, movies: avengers, pen names, sfuad is a funny acronym, writer's block\nIn which Sky starts exercising again.\n\u2022 Things.\nWell, I suppose I could get a little more specific than that.\n\u2022 Ankle is mostly better. It's still somewhat weak, but then I have weak ankles in general, and I don't see that changing anytime in the future, so it's not exactly a big change.\n\u2022 I've been going to the gym (at my school) with the Boyfriend every other day (because it's pretty convenient for us to go after my early morning classes M/W/F) and I've been walking on the treadmill while he does... real workout things. (I got a new brace for my ankle which I've been sort of alternating wearing. It's a good brace, but it makes my shoes fit weird, so.) It's not so boring for me to walk since I have a Kindle, and I've discovered that it's light enough for me to hold up while I walk. It's actually a pretty productive place to read. And also I get exercise. Which I need. I was walking for just an hour each time, but today I discovered that I can walk five miles in 85 minutes (at a not terribly fast pace). This is encouraging. I think I could probably work my way up to five miles in 75 minutes, so that is my goal for the next little while.\n\u2022 Today I actually went and walked with my dad, who wanted to walk a set distance, rather than a set time. Hence the shift in my routine.\n\u2022 Speaking of injuries I have done to myself, though, my left knee is being all achey and bad. I thought I might have hyperextended it the first time I was on the treadmill, but I think it's more likely that the joint and muscles aren't used to the exertion. I was keeping it wrapped while I did my walking, but I think I'm going to leave it unwrapped next time and see what happens.\n\u2022 I finished both of Deborah Harkness's books, but I didn't manage to make myself read anything I said I was going to read. I started both Black Heart and Storm Front (and both are good) but I wasn't hooked enough to keep going at the moment that I started them. (This happens pretty often. I tend to choose my books based on how I ~feel.) I ended up blasting through Patricia Briggs's Alpha & Omega prequel, which was short and sweet. On the other hand, Wednesday's workout reading material was another chunk of The Wolf Gift (which has finally gotten interesting!), and today's was Outlander (which I guess I'm finally getting around to). On the other hand, I did get my hands on a couple thousand books today (for my Kindle, obviously) so I have a whole bunch of things I could read, now.\n\u2022 I dyed my hair black again for the first time in almost a year, and the color seems to be staying this time. Which is good, because I was afraid my hair had grown immune to black dye. The color isn't quite as vivid as I would like, so I'll likely try a different brand and all that in a couple of months when it's time to do it again, and some color still comes out every time I shower, but it seems to mostly be staying. And it's slightly ridiculous that that I am surprised and happy when hair dye does what it's supposed to do. What even.\nI think there was more I was going to write about, but I've forgotten it and I'm tired. Thus, that's all for now!\nTags: books, evolution of sky's hair, keeping healthy and getting fit, ways i have injured myself\nlistening: \"Speeding Cars\" - Imogen Heap\nIn which Sky falls down some stairs.\n\u2022 I have been telling myself that I should post here every night for at least two weeks, I swear. And then I get distracted by something, or I put it off for the night telling myself I'll do it the next night... And we all know how that goes. But now I am updating my Kindle and the Boyfriend is working out for the next hour or so, so I might as well buckle down and actually let you all know I'm alive.\n\u2022 I am. For the record. Alive, that is.\n\u2022 Speaking of the Boyfriend, we've basically been living together for the last three weeks (he picked me up from the airport the day I got home from NYC and spent the night and then never went home) and it's really lovely. Things are still awesome, he's still awesome and amazing, and I am still happy. So yay! (Though, I forget to do things that I usually do in the solitude of night. Which is mostly journaling stuff. I haven't written in my paper journal for weeks either.)\n\u2022 Also for the record: the trip home from NYC was fraught and full of annoyances and terribleness. That is all.\n\u2022 I tripped and fell down some stairs the other (last Thursday) night, and rolled my ankle in the process. It's still a bit swollen and I still can't walk around all day on it, though I don't think I've done more than pull some muscles and bruise myself. Still, it's the worst injury I've done to my ankles in a really long time, and I am deeply, deeply annoyed with myself.\n\u2022 Kindle is still awesome. I read Deborah Harkness's A Discovery of Witches, which was tons of fun, and I am currently reading an advance copy of the sequel, Shadow of Night, which is awesome. On the other hand, these books are sort of long and dense, so I am not adding a whole lot of numbers/entries to my \"Books I've Read This Year\" list. I've decided to be ok with this. Next up on the reading list is Holly Black's Black Heart and Jim Butcher's first Dresden Files book. I also think I ought to finish Anne Rice's The Wolf Gift, if only because I started it and I would like to be able to say that I've read an Anne Rice book that's not part of her filthy porno trilogy.\n\u2022 School will be drawing to a close soon, and I register for next semester's classes tomorrow, and I am super excited because I will have an amazing schedule. Five classes, four of which only meet once a week; two classes on Monday, two classes on Tuesday, one class on Wednesday, one class on Thursday and no classes on Friday; nothing earlier than 9:15am; and three writing classes and two literature classes. It's going to be awesome. Also: three day weekends! Whoohoo!\nThat's really all I have to say right now.

We have collaborated with renowned organisations and eminent personalities in these fields to smoothen the path of learning for a greater effect. These age appropriate curricula promise all aspects of child's development and better learning outcomes.\nAt Chennai Public School, music is an important element of our curriculum and invariably, the students welcome it and participate in all earnestness. Trained and qualified music teachers handle the sensitive task of inculcating music in all students. This training is especially valuable when students take part in intra-mural as well as inter-school competitions. It\u2019s true that Music is an essential part of life, not merely as entertainment but for its therapeutic value as a stress-buster.\nDance and theatre are given the place of pride in our activity chart. Perpetuating our rich heritage in classical dance is an imperative duty. At the same time, students are also given opportunities to learn classical dance, and contemporary dance. Above all, learning dance gives one a deep sense of rhythm of movement and is also an excellent mode of exercise. Students are permitted to identify and pursue their desired style of dancing and acting. Our theatre training has committed theatre practitioners who have a strong experience working with children. Through this exposure, children are trained to think better, to act better and to express better.\nThe School Band is a popular group with many students expressing their keenness to be part of this prestigious activity. The school has an array of brass and other instruments and students are trained to learn notes and perform in a professional manner. Indeed it is a grand sight to watch the band in action at all school functions.\nLearning and indulging in visual arts is truly one of the most enriching and satisfying experience. At Chennai Public School, we believe that every student has inherent talent in some form of art or the other and no effort is spared to give them the opportunity to develop and hone their talents. The sky is the limit for the kind of creative expression that the students exhibit in this field.\nSome of the learning activities are\nClay modelling or pottery",

        "raw_content": "BREAKING: Malaysian Plane Shot Down Over Ukraine\nUpdated: 12:09 PM ET: KIEV, Ukraine (AP) \u2014 A Ukrainian official said a passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down Thursday over a town in the east of the country, and Malaysian Airlines tweeted that it lost contact with one of its flights over Ukrainian airspace.\nAnton Gerashenko, an adviser to Ukraine\u2019s interior minister, said on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters (33,000 feet) when it was hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher. A similar launcher was seen by Associated Press journalists near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne earlier Thursday. The Buk missile system can fire missiles up to an altitude of 22,000 meters (72,000 feet).\nMalaysia Airlines said on its Twitter feed that it \u201chas lost contact of MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace. More details to follow.\u201d\nThe region has seen severe fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia separatist rebels in recent days.\nOn Wednesday evening, a Ukrainian fighter jet was shot down by an air-to-air missile from a Russian plane, Ukrainian authorities said Thursday, adding to what Kiev says is mounting evidence that Moscow is directly supporting the separatist insurgents in eastern Ukraine. Security Council spokesman Andrei Lysenko said the pilot of the Sukhoi-25 jet hit by the air-to-air missile was forced to bail after his jet was shot down.\nPro-Russia rebels, meanwhile, claimed responsibility for strikes Wednesday on two Ukrainian Sukhoi-25 jets. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said the second jet was hit by a portable surface-to-air missile, but added the pilot was unscathed and managed to land his plane safely\nMoscow denies Western charges that is supporting the separatists or sowing unrest in its neighbor. The Russian Defense Ministry couldn\u2019t be reached for comment Thursday about the Ukrainian jet and Russia\u2019s foreign ministry didn\u2019t respond to multiple requests for comment.\nEarlier this week, Ukraine said a military transport plane was shot down Monday by a missile fired from Russian territory.\nThe rebels are known to possess portable anti-aircraft rocket launchers, but Ukrainian officials say that kind of weapon would have been unable to reach Monday\u2019s plane at the altitude at which it was flying Monday. Aviation experts, however, have questioned whether the stricken transport plane was flying at the altitude Ukrainian officials had claimed.\nBREAKING: Malaysian Plane Shot Down Over Ukraine was originally published on newsone.com",

Benediction will be at 8:50 P.M. My hope is that many people from our parish will take advantage of this opportunity to come together and pray in the silence of the night, to speak to the Lord in that quiet, and simply be in the presence of the one who loves us. While the rest of the world and we ourselves are busy during this time of the year, this is an opportunity to take at least a few minutes to rest in the strong presence of the Lord, adore him, and thank him.

        "raw_content": "Movie Travel Diary: London\nA view askew of Tower Bridge, from the southbank. Photo by the author.\nIt wasn\u2019t until about a month after my mini-break weekend in Dublin, once my sister had flown in from Los Angeles to ride the rails all over Britain with me (we were on our winter holidays away from school), that I finally saw London. I\u2019ve been an Anglophile for as long as I can remember. As such, I have always found the movies to be the perfect instrument to satisfy my intense interest in all things British. There are simply too many films set in London to name, but suffice it to say that before arriving in town (after a three-hour-long train ride from Newcastle in the Northeast), I had seen the city of my dreams represented in such classics as Alfie (Lewis Gilbert, 1966) and A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971), through to more contemporary fare, like Wonderland (Michael Winterbottom, 1999) and About a Boy (Chris & Paul Weitz, 2002). But none of these films captures the London that I experienced around Christmas in 2006.\nInstead, we searched for the blue door of Hugh Grant\u2019s travel book shop in the eponymous neighborhood of Notting Hill (Roger Michell, 1999), knowing full well the owners had repainted it to prevent passersby from peeking in. We strolled along the titular street of Brick Lane (Sarah Gavron, 2007) and wound up in a McDonald\u2019s rather than a curry palace. We shopped for souvenirs from the open-air market stalls in Camden, which are on display in Mike Leigh\u2019s comedy-drama Happy-Go-Lucky (2008), but the stench of pot and incense drew us away. Opting for the bus only once and using the tube to get everywhere, we did an awful lot of walking around London during our week or so in the city. And on December 25, when all of London\u2014especially these public transportation networks\u2014shut down, we were unable to leave our hostel to perform our yearly ritual: Chinese food and a movie.\nYou\u2019ve seen this one before: the view from the Tate Modern across the Millennium Bridge. Image courtesy of http://www.wikipedia.org.\nMy sister and I explicitly chose not to do \u201ctouristy\u201d things. (Don\u2019t ask why, we were stupid and cheap and wanted to avoid crowds as much as possible.) We didn\u2019t tour the Tower of London or see Big Ben up-close. We double-backed on hitching a ride aboard the London Eye (that\u2019s really something I regret). No Westminster Abbey, Leicester Square, or Houses of Parliament for us, I\u2019m afraid. We mainly kept to museums, like the British Museum and National Gallery\u2014yes, both of which entice visitors with offers of free admission. The Tate Modern was on the top of our must-see list, and from there we strolled across the Thames on the not-so-new Millennium Bridge, toward St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral. This part of London\u2014Southwark, it\u2019s called\u2014is frequently represented in film: everything from Bridget Jones\u2019s Diary (Sharon Maguire, 2001) to Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m, 2011) features its protagonist on this at one time eye-catching bridge, either making a resolution or having an existential epiphany. Well, nothing as lofty as that happened while I was on it.\nNot too far from the Tate, on the south bank, is the reconstruction of William Shakespeare\u2019s Globe Theatre, and even farther down, just east of Tower Bridge is the Design Museum, whose exhibitions focus on 20th and 21st century design across various industries. I remember never having heard of it before my sister suggested we go there, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. I can\u2019t remember exactly what we saw, but after days of walking around London and feeling as if we weren\u2019t \u201cseeing\u201d anything, I felt warm and fuzzy, a real sense of accomplishment. Stupidly, I thought we\u2019d visited a place so far off the beaten path that it wasn\u2019t on most international tourists\u2019 radar. After all, it\u2019s not as busy as the Victoria & Albert Museum.\nThe Design Museum in 2010. Image courtesy of http://www.wikipedia.org.\nI\u2019ll never forget our approach to the Design Museum, trekking through a disorienting labyrinth of buildings that all looked the same and climbing a tiny incline right at the end, stepping lightly on the cobblestone street the whole time so as to avoid twisting our ankles. Aside from the Design Museum, which at the time was painted a bright white (I\u2019d be willing to bet that it still is), all of the other buildings at Butler\u2019s Wharf are brick warehouses with arched doorways and, according to Wikipedia, were once considered derelict. Gradually, over the past thirty years or so, the late 19th century shipping district has been home to luxury flats and a happening restaurants and arts corner. (Bridget Jones and her lascivious boss Daniel Cleaver dine here.) I should mention that we could hear the lapping of the river even if we couldn\u2019t see it while walking along Shad Thames, the area\u2019s main street.\nAlmost one and a half years later, I saw Run Fatboy Run (David Schwimmer, 2007) in the theater with my dad, and early on in the film I recognized one of its shooting locations straightaway: the Butler\u2019s Wharf/Shad Thames warehouse district. \u201cPathetic excuse for a man\u201d Dennis (the always charming Simon Pegg, who rewrote the script) has his ex-fiancee and mother of his child pick he and the boy up from the police station (he got caught buying scalped theater tickets), and she brings her new handsome, super-successful American boyfriend along with her. After putting Libby (Thandie Newton) and Jake (Matthew Fenton) in a cab, Dennis and his rival Whit (Hank Azaria) walk along Lafone Street, making awkward conversation and being generally passive-aggressive toward one another. Besides Bridget Jones\u2019s Diary, I had never seen this part of London on-screen before (I didn\u2019t even know what it was when I first saw that rom-com), and since \u201cdiscovering\u201d it on my way to the exemplary Design Museum, it has always felt like \u201cmy London.\u201d Thus, despite being set in North London (but mainly shot in the East, according to The Worldwide Guide to Movie Locations), Run Fatboy Run memorably takes place in parts of the city that I most identify with.\nAs you may already know, Run Fatboy Run revolves around Dennis as he trains for the Nike River Run, a fictional stand-in for the London Marathon. He aims to prove to everyone\u2014including Libby, Whit, Jake, his friend and coach (Dylan Moran), and the landlord to whom he owes a lot of back rent\u2014but especially himself that he can commit to finishing something, after having ditched a pregnant Libby at the altar years ago (he has always loved her, though). Of course, there are many obstacles to achieving this goal; the greatest is having to hobble the long distance on a severely sprained ankle. It takes him all day and all night. Notably, the marathon route commences near the financial district in the City of London where Whit works, the Gherkin a stone\u2019s throw away (that, we saw up-close), and finishes just outside St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral. To get there\u2014you guessed it\u2014Dennis must cross the Millennium Bridge from the south side, his entourage of fans and a sports reporter cheering him on as they follow close behind. His journey reminds me of my own. Now, I cannot claim to have completed a marathon as Dennis has done in fourteen hours, but because my sister and I spent a long and tiring but wonderful day in Southwark walking from landmark to landmark, I can claim to have conquered them in my own way as a tourist. After all, the views were free.\nTomorrow: another entry of Movie Travel Diary. But while we\u2019re waiting, tell me about your movie-related experiences in London.

        "raw_content": "HomeFAQsWill climate change cause wars?\nWill climate change be the primary cause of war between two nations? Not likely. Can the impacts of climate change increase the likelihood of conflict? Research increasingly suggests this is a possibility, and in some instances has already occurred. However, conflict is the result of a multitude of factors \u2013 existing grievances, mismanagement of resources, erosion of the social contract between a state and its public, demographic change, economic disparities, etc. So climate change will not likely be the only, or even primary cause of any conflict. Climate change can increase the likelihood of conflict and instability through interacting with other existing stressors \u2013 such as food, water and energy insecurity. These stresses can contribute to unrest, the displacement of populations, and other dynamics than can increase the likelihood of a conflict occurring. A lack of capacity to manage climate risks can also make a nation more fragile and conflict-prone. Though there is evidence suggesting that climate change has been a factor in certain sub-national conflicts, more research is needed to disentangle correlation and causality. However, given the unprecedented changes to the climate currently underway, the historical record is not a sufficient foundation for predicting the role that climate change might play in future conflicts. In this context, future simulations, foresight exercises, and a more nuanced understanding of the interconnections between demographic pressures, natural resources and state stability, will be increasingly important to governments and societies wishing to plan for the effects of climate change on the security environment.\n2015: Seed of War: Global warming helped trigger Syria\u2019s bloody civil war.

You can't find better odds than that in a casino.\nI'll be the first to admit that I am biased (I'm rooting for Team USA), however, like David Feherty, I'm picking Team USA to win the Ryder Cup. Sure, the Europeans have won all but one Ryder Cup in the 21st Century, but the home team has won the last three straight, which gives Team USA a slight advantage since the Ryder Cup is at Medinah Country Club. The teams are statistically even, so regardless of the outcome, the \"drama\" of the Ryder Cup should be at an all time high.\nWho do you think will win the Ryder Cup?\nrgriz says:\nunited states, they have the momentum, based on the last couple of matches before the cup.\nAromir says:\nWhat a magnificent Ryder Cup that was, the USA team looked unbeatable the first two days, but the lads brought it back for a thrilling finish and did it for Seve!

We don't care about traditional styles or following the trends. We care about making f'n delicious beer that we are proud to serve. What started as a home brew set and a passion for craft beer became the 9th brewery in Denver when Brian and Khara O\u2019Connell founded Renegade Brewing Company and poured the first pint out of the tap room on June 26, 2011. Renegade currently has 6 year-round beers and two of those originated as backyard recipes from Brian.\nRenegade Brewing Company is fortunate to have access to quality clean drinking water that we use to make our Offensively Delicious beers. However, approximately 663 million people around the world do not have access to clean drinking water. Without such a basic necessity it is not possible to get proper nutrition, education and access to jobs. By simply purchasing Renegade beer, you are helping to provide access to life\u2019s most basic necessity for those in need. Each gallon of Renegade beer purchased provides one day of safe drinking water to a person in need.

        "raw_content": "HomeBank litigation and regulation in 2017\n1. Challenges to Dodd-Frank and the CFPB\nOne of the most significant regulatory developments of 2017 will be the future of Dodd-Frank and the CFPB. One such challenge comes from the ongoing PHH Corp. case, in which the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit concluded that the CFPB\u2019s single-director structure was unconstitutional. Based on this finding, the court altered the CFPB\u2019s rules to permit the President to terminate the CFPB Director for any reason. The CFPB has asked the full D.C. Circuit to reconsider the ruling and, if unsuccessful, is likely to seek review from the Supreme Court. The outcome of this case has significant ramifications, with an incoming President who may want to replace Director Richard Cordray with a less aggressive director.\nThe CFPB and the Dodd-Frank Act more broadly face a potential legislative challenge from the new Republican Congress. Republicans have previously sought to repeal or scale back Dodd-Frank, including with last year\u2019s proposed CHOICE Act. The CHOICE Act, which would provide a potential starting point for Dodd-Frank reforms now that Republicans control both houses of Congress and the White House, included many provisions that would seem to benefit community banks. These provisions included an option to maintain a simple leverage ratio of 10% in lieu of the Basel III capital requirements, repeal of the Durbin Amendment on debit interchange price controls, several relief provisions for smaller banks, and an overhaul of the CFPB.\n2. Unsafe and Unsound Banking Practices\nIn September 2016, the Office of Financial Institution Adjudication heard a rare administrative trial involving FDIC allegations of unsafe and unsound banking practices against Cornelius Campbell Burgess, a director of Herring Bank in Amarillo, Texas. The FDIC\u2019s Notice of Charges alleged that Burgess \u201cengaged in unsafe or unsound practices and breached his fiduciary duty to the Bank by causing the Bank to pay his personal expenses, including the expenses of his girlfriend . . ., who was not a Bank employee, without full and truthful disclosure to, or informed approval from the Board\u201d and \u201cwithout adequate or truthful support for the business nature of the expenses.\u201d The FDIC further contended that Burgess\u2019s actions caused loss to the Bank and gain to himself, and \u201cdemonstrate a willful or continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the Bank and personal dishonesty.\u201d Relying on these claims, the FDIC sought an order of removal and prohibition and a civil money penalty.\nA recommended decision from the administrative law judge is expected in early 2017, followed later in the year by a final decision from the FDIC Director. This would be the first enforcement decision from a bank regulator on unsafe and unsound practices since the Adams case, which I have written about here and here. The decision may provide some guidance on regulators\u2019 interpretation of unsafe and unsound banking practices and may also provide an opportunity for review by a federal court.\n3. Banks vs. Credit Unions Litigation\nThere are two ongoing lawsuits involving the validity of new regulations on credit union commercial lending and membership eligibility. In the first lawsuit, the Independent Community Bankers Association sued to block a rule that would expand a credit union\u2019s ability to make commercial loans. In the second, the American Bankers Association sued to prevent the implementation of a rule expanding credit union membership. A federal judge heard a motion to dismiss the ICBA case on December 15, 2016 and expects to make a ruling in early 2017. The ABA case is in the preliminary stages but will likely also be challenged by an early motion to dismiss. Both cases could reshape the competition community banks face from credit unions.\n4. Wells Fargo Litigation\nIn the aftermath of the Wells Fargo fake accounts scandal, numerous lawsuits have been filed by Wells Fargo customers, terminated employees, and shareholders. Most of the lawsuits are still in the preliminary stages of litigation. The outcome of these lawsuits could provide guidance to banks on how to shape their own employee incentive programs and how to manage the aftermath of adverse regulatory action.\n\u2190 ABA sues credit union association over expansive membership rule\nJudge recommends sustaining FDIC charges of unsafe and unsound banking practices \u2192",

They are recalling 2.8 million of these in the U.S., and 125,000 in Canada. According to reports, the valve from the balls can come off and present a choking hazard. There have been 46 incidents related to the valve in the U.S., 8 in Canada.\n7 million Fisher-Price tricycles are being recalled. The bikes have a part on them that protrudes and can cut a child. There have been 10 incidents so far, six required medical care.\nThere are 120,000 small toy cars being recalled because wheels are coming off, which could result in choking.\nToys are not the only item being recalled by Fisher-Price. They are also recalling almost a million high chairs due to children being cut by the legs. Out of 14 incidents, 7 required stitches.\nFisher-Price has made almost 5000 different kinds of toys since it was founded in 1930, according to Wikipedia. It has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Mattel, Inc., since 1993. Its headquarters is in East Aurora, New York.\nMattel experienced a series of high profile recalls in 2007, recalling nearly 20 million toys. The 2007 recalls involved toys with a high lead content in their coloring, and magnets that could become detached and were dangerous if ingested.\nCustomers who need more information on the recalls can contact Fisher-Price at 1-800-432-5437, or visit their site at: http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=10&e=recalls.",

        "raw_content": "Blog Cop's Corner game play\nI don\u2019t know about you, but when I play a new game, I get a little scared! Part of me is excited to try something new and the other part of me knows I have to figure out how to play the game. I will help you get jump started in all of this. However, if in doubt, you can refer to the instructions on the back of the box or on the sheet of paper inside the game.\nBefore we jump in, let me give you a little background of Cop\u2019s Corner. Some of you are asking, \u201cWhy should I play Cop\u2019s Corner?\u201d Or maybe, \u201cWhat is unique about this game over other games?\u201d Perhaps you are a parent and you are wondering, \u201cHow long is the game to play?\nThe reason most of us play games is because it is fun. That is my number one goal with this game. Cop\u2019s Corner is fun! It is simple enough to play for most people yet layered enough to challenge those who can use Cop\u2019s Corner as a great learning tool. Remember, there are two ways to win this game. Depending how the game evolves as you play may determine your strategy. The first way to win is to be the first to become the Chief of Police. You accomplish this by promoting through the ranks. The second way to win is to become the Top Cop. You accomplish this by adding up your point totals depending on how many coins, dispatch cards, car stop cards, or duty cards you collected compared to the other players.\nThere is no other game like this game in the world! I was given what I call a \u201cGod-inspiration\u201d seven years ago when I had a dream about the entire game at 3:00 a.m. I woke up very excited about the concept and wrote it all down. Cop\u2019s Corner is designed to help educate people about law enforcement and our criminal justice system. Whether you are in law enforcement or not, all of us operate under these systems. If you are in law enforcement, this game is a great tool to explain what cops do and how things work like the court system or a special police details. The best part of the game is it has a lot of movement, sudden game change swings, and the length of play is entirely up to you. For example, if you wanted to play with some kids who are in elementary school with a short attention span, you can remove a couple of ranks to accelerate the game at the beginning of play. Kids can easily play the game because of color and picture associations. If you were a high school student and wanted to better understand what the difference between a Burglary, Theft, or Robbery was, you can look these up and discuss them while continuing play.\nI hope this gives you a little better understanding of Cop\u2019s Corner game. In the next blog, I will be discussing the play in more detail. Until then, build some play time, fun, and people connection into your day! Paul\nCop\u2019s Corner Pursuit",

        "raw_content": "By Bethany Bray November 2, 2015\nOne of the many reasons solution-focused counseling is a good fit for school settings is because it\u2019s a client-directed approach, says John Murphy, a longtime school psychologist and author of Solution-Focused Counseling in Schools.\nSchool counselors often find the bulk of their time consumed with noncounseling tasks. When they are able to meet with a student, using a solution-focused approach provides a customizable way to forge a therapeutic bond with the young person in a short amount of time.\n\u201cThe simple and practical premise of solution-focused counseling \u2013 find what works and do more of it \u2013 is one of its most appealing features for school practitioners,\u201d Murphy writes in the book\u2019s conclusion. \u201cThis does not mean, however, that it is easy to do. Solution-focused work requires careful attention to language, client feedback, relationship building and other therapeutic nuances and skills. Mastery of these skills requires patience and practice. If your experience is anything like mine, however, it is well worth the effort.\u201d\nSolution-Focused Counseling in Schools was originally released in 1997; the American Counseling Association published a third edition of Murphy\u2019s book earlier this year.\nQ+A: John Murphy on Solution-Focused Counseling in Schools\nIn the book\u2019s introduction, you write \u201cschools are not set up to accommodate counseling.\u201d Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?\nThis is not a criticism, merely an observation that the main purpose of schools is to teach reading, writing, math and other important academic skills. Unlike mental health centers and private practice settings where counseling is the main focus and the physical setting reflects that focus, school settings present some unique challenges for counselors.\nThese challenges include working around students\u2019 and teachers\u2019 busy class schedules, safeguarding client confidentiality and conducting \u201ccounseling sessions\u201d whenever and wherever you can \u2014 in the lunchroom, on the playground, talking with a parent by phone or walking alongside a student or teacher in the hallway. This requires a lot of flexibility on the part of school practitioners.\nBut let\u2019s not forget that there are advantages to school-based counseling as well. In addition to offering instant access to students and teachers, schools provide a natural and familiar setting for students and parents who might otherwise have to leave their community and travel long distances to receive services. For these reasons, and the fact that we know more than we ever have about helping people change, I ended the new edition of Solution-Focused Counseling in Schools by stating that there has never been a better time to be a school-based counselor.\nFrom your perspective, what makes a solution-focused approach effective in helping elementary through high school students? How is it a \u201cgood fit\u201d?\nFor starters, solution-focused counseling (SFC) is a clear and practical approach that makes sense to students, caregivers and counselors. Research tells us that people are more likely to benefit from counseling approaches that make sense to them, that respect their input and goals, and that customize counseling to them rather than requiring them to conform to the counselor\u2019s preferred methods. SFC meets all of these criteria, which explains why it is effective with students of all ages.\nAlthough solution-focused counselors validate problem-related experiences and struggles, they gently invite students to take action instead of spending a lot of time analyzing the problem. The \u201cless talk, more action\u201d nature of SFC seems to appeal to students as well as school counselors, who have very little time to do counseling in the first place.\nAnother reason SFC works with students is because it grabs their attention as \u201csomething different\u201d rather than more of the same. Most students with school problems are well accustomed to problem-focused conversations with adults. These well-intentioned conversations emphasize what is wrong with students, with little or no attention to what they are doing well, which may include coping with a problem or preventing it from getting worse. In contrast, solution-focused conversations seek out students\u2019 strengths and resources and explore how these assets could be applied toward solutions. In my experience, conversations that recognize and build on what is right and working with students engage their participation more effectively than \u201cmore of the same,\u201d problem-saturated discussions.\nThe solution-focused approach fits with school counselors as well. In teaching classes and workshops throughout the U.S. and overseas, counselors often tell me that the solution-focused emphasis on \u201cdoing what works\u201d as quickly as possible is more practical than cumbersome, time-consuming approaches that don\u2019t fit well for schools and school problems. Building on students\u2019 strengths also appeals to counselors\u2019 desire to empower, energize and encourage people. The fact that solution-focused counseling accommodates a variety of cultural backgrounds and life experiences is another important feature in today\u2019s increasingly diverse world. Most people, including myself, signed up for this business to lift people up, and SFC fits nicely with this goal.\nWhat prompted you to do a third edition of this book? What\u2019s new and different in this edition?\nThough many of the basic ideas and techniques of SFC have been carried over from previous editions, several aspects of my approach to SFC have changed since the previously published second edition in 2008. Research continues to clarify specific elements of effective counseling, all of which are incorporated into the new edition of Solution-Focused Counseling in Schools. These elements include the importance of building a strong counselor-client alliance and of collecting ongoing client feedback.\nThe third edition has new chapters on topics such as the restrictive influence of problems and practical strategies for developing \u201cgoals that matter,\u201d as well as additional practice exercises at the end of each chapter and a widely expanded chapter on innovative ways to use solution-focused strategies in group counseling, classroom teaching, peer helping programs, parent education, consultation with parents and teachers, systems-level change and referral forms. I also included new appendices with examples of solution-focused checklists and referral forms, therapeutic letters to students of all ages, scripts for introducing client feedback tools and handy crib sheets for conducting SFC sessions.\nWhat is a main takeaway you want counselors of all types, including nonschool counselors, to know about the importance of solution-focused counseling in school settings?\nThe main takeaway is that the ideas and techniques in this book are \u201cvalue added.\u201d A value-added technique adds value and impact to whatever it is combined with, making everything else you do with clients more effective. Examples of value-added techniques include obtaining client feedback, giving compliments, validating students\u2019 experiences and exploring exceptions to the problem.\nThe beauty of these techniques is that there are no risks or downsides to using them. The worst thing that can happen is that the person does not respond and nothing changes, at which point you simply move on to something else. Even then, value-added techniques can enhance the alliance by conveying respect for people\u2019s input, wisdom and capability. The bottom line is this: You can use the techniques in this book regardless of your theoretical orientation and regardless of whether or not you consider yourself a solution-focused practitioner.\nYou were a public school teacher and school psychologist for many years. How have you seen the role of school counselor/psychologist change since then?\nI haven\u2019t seen much of a change in the roles of most school counselors or school psychologists, especially when it comes to the small amount of time they spend in intervention-related activities such as individual and group counseling, parent/teacher consultation and schoolwide prevention/intervention programs. I am not criticizing the professionals who fill these roles, many of whom would like to spend more time on such activities. School counselors and psychologists often tell me that they are pulled in so many different directions and saddled with certain responsibilities that leave little time for counseling and other intervention-related services. Unfortunately, the situation will not change in a big way if schools continue to rely exclusively on outside professionals and agencies to provide the bulk of school-based counseling and intervention services.\nWhat advice would you give to a new professional who is starting a career as a school counselor?\nFind ways to stay active, involved and hopeful about your profession and the people you serve. Effective practitioners are continually engaged in professional learning and development. They also find ways to sustain their hope in the midst of the ongoing problems and challenges they face on a daily basis. I would also advise them to make sure that their job description and role includes sufficient time for counseling and intervention activities.\nBesides your book, what resources would you recommend for school counselors who would like to learn more about solution-focused counseling?\nThere are many more resources on solution-focused counseling with young people and schools than there were when I wrote the book\u2019s first edition almost 25 years ago. An Internet search of \u201csolution-focused counseling in schools\u201d will yield various articles and chapters. The Solution-Focused Brief Therapy Association\u2019s website (sfbta.org) contains general information about SFBT. I also maintain a website on solution-focused and strengths-based practices in schools that has a variety of links and additional information about solution-focused practice in schools, workshop offerings on the topic and other related topics (drjohnmurphy.com).\nSolution-Focused Counseling in Schools is available from the American Counseling Association bookstore at counseling.org/publications/bookstore or by calling 800-422-2648 x 222\nFor more insights from Murphy, see these downloadable VISTAS articles from ACA:\nSolution-Focused Counseling in Schools\nBuilding School Solutions From Students Natural Resources\nStudent-Driven Interviewing Practical Strategies for Involving Students in School Solutions\nAlso, see ACA\u2019s podcast with Murphy on solution-focused school counseling: bit.ly/1OSO26v\nJohn J.

        "raw_content": "\u00ab ACTE Responds to Wall Street Journal Article | Main | More Details on Budget Proposals for Depts. of Ed and Labor \u00bb\nPresident Proposes Investments in CTE\nOn February 13, the president released his budget proposal, which outlines the Administration\u2019s funding priorities for Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. This budget will serve as a blueprint for when Congress allocates funding to specific programs through the budget and appropriations process. In his budget, President Obama invests heavily in CTE areas. The overall funding level for Perkins is the same as Congress allocated in FY 2012, $1.1 billion, although this is contingent on proposed changes to the CTE system that will be unveiled at a later date (and that ACTE will weigh in on when appropriate). In this economic environment, and considering the Administration\u2019s history of proposed funding cuts, this level of funding is a great victory for everyone in the CTE community. This level funding positions us well to fight for a restoration of recent funding cuts as the FY 2013 appropriations process unfolds.\nBesides the investment in Perkins, the Administration has included several other programs that are related to CTE. The president proposes $1 billion over three years to expand career academies so that more students have access to this \u201csuccessful educational model for young people.\u201d The president also proposes $12.5 billion for the \u201cPathways Back to Work Fund.\u201d This fund would support summer and year-round jobs for low-income youth and help connect long-term unemployed and low-income adults to training and subsidized employment. The Administration also bumps up funds to community college by proposing $8 billion over three years to strengthen job training programs and to connect community colleges with businesses.\nACTE is very pleased that the Administration sees the need to expand CTE programs and is anxious to see details related to its thoughts on the reauthorization of the Perkins Act and on the other newly proposed programs. It is important to remember that the president\u2019s budget is just a guide for Congress. The House and Senate appropriations committee will use this as they develop allocations for specific programs. ACTE will continue to sort through the budget and will provide additional information as it becomes available.\nPosted by Mitch Coppes on 02/13/2012 at 11:36 AM in Executive Branch, Federal Funding | Permalink",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Senate Explores Short-term Training in Higher Ed Hearing | Main | Higher Ed Accountability Examined in Dueling Congressional Hearings \u00bb\nState of the Union and Democratic Response Briefly Mention CTE\nOn Tuesday, President Trump delivered his first State of the Union address. In it, he addressed a wide range of issues, including immigration, foreign policy, tax reform and the economy. However, the president only mentioned education policy once, specifically referring to CTE by saying \u201clet\u2019s invest in workforce development and job training. Let\u2019s open great vocational schools so our future workers can learn a craft and realize their full potential.\u201d The line led to a standing ovation from both Democrats and Republicans in the House Chamber.\nThe nod to career education is laudatory, but falls short of capturing the full breadth of today\u2019s CTE ecosystem. Not only does CTE reach far beyond the \u201cvocational education\u201d that once characterized the system, but CTE programs do more than just teach students \u201ca craft.\u201d Today\u2019s CTE is part of a well-rounded education that imparts a wide range of academic, technical and employability skills and prepares students for lifelong learning and diverse career opportunities across the economy. There are already many high-quality CTE programs and schools around the country, though they do need additional support to further improve their programs and ensure every student has the opportunity to access them. On the heels of his call for \u201copen[ing] great vocational schools,\u201d President Trump should redouble the nation\u2019s investment in CTE through the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act in his budget, which is set to be released in mid-February. The president\u2019s budget last year proposed cutting the Perkins CTE basic state grant by 15 percent.\nThe president also spoke about the need to \u201crebuild our crumbling infrastructure.\u201d He called on Democrats and Republicans to work together to modernize infrastructure and spur at least $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investments, funded by federal, state and local governments, and through private sector investments. While infrastructure investments have been discussed by the Administration and Congress at numerous times over the last year, often absent from this discussion is how to prepare the necessary workforce to meet infrastructure needs. Infrastructure \u2013 from roads and bridges to sewage, telecom, electric grids, and more \u2013 requires people to plan, design, build and maintain the projects. A 2016 analysis predicts a shortage of at least a million workers in the construction industry alone by 2020. Any discussion about an infrastructure package must include a workforce development component to ensure America has the skilled talent pipeline to meet its infrastructure workforce demand.\nShortly after the State of the Union, as is tradition, Democrats held a response. This year, Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA) gave the response from a CTE high school. At the beginning of his remarks, Rep. Kennedy gave a shout-out to CTE students in attendance, saying, \u201c[f]rom textiles to robots, [Fall, River Massachusetts is a proud American city] that knows how to make great things. The students with us this evening in the auto-tech program at Diman Regional Technical School carry on that rich legacy.\u201d Unfortunately, Rep. Kennedy\u2019s response, like the President\u2019s address, didn\u2019t elaborate further on CTE or the critical role it plays in the American economy.\nACTE will continue working with the Trump Administration and Congress to increase investments in CTE and build on the many high-quality programs all across the country.\nPosted by Jarrod Nagurka on 01/31/2018 at 10:12 AM in Executive Branch, In the News | Permalink\nTags: Kennedy, State of the Union, Trump",

        "title": "CT Lottery fights the odds, tries to save keno",
        "raw_content": "CT Lottery fights the odds, tries to save keno\nThe 20 winning numbers drawn from a field of 80 at 1o:04 Thursday night in Quick Draw, the New York Lottery's version of keno. Picking five correct numbers won $2. Picking 1o won $100,000.\nIn the oddly one-sided debate over whether to stop the Connecticut Lottery Corp. from launching keno, the Lottery seems to have found its voice, perhaps inspired by its old marketing slogan: \u201cYou can\u2019t win, if you don\u2019t play.\u201d\nFor the first time, a top Lottery official admits wanting to save the game, which Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and top legislative leaders are willing to abandon before the first bet is placed. With no one else defending keno, the Lottery is ready to play.\n\u201cWhen it comes to keno, we need to have an open conversation, and we really need to reboot that conversation and base it on what we need now,\u201d said Frank Farricker, the chairman of the Lottery Corp. \u201cI have a responsibility as chairman of the board to represent the corporation.\u201d\nFarricker, who made his comments during an interview with The Mirror, expects to testify Tuesday at a public hearing in Hartford against legislation that would strip the lottery of its right to offer keno before the game is launched and the first dollar is bet.\n\u201cThis is a surprise,\u201d Farricker said, referring to House Speaker J. Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, and Senate President Pro Tem Donald E. Williams Jr., D-Brooklyn, suddenly calling for repeal. \u201cI thought we were done.\u201d\nFarricker, a Malloy appointee, said he was neither encouraged nor discouraged by the administration to defend keno.\nAndrew Doba, a spokesman for Malloy, said the governor intends to sign a repeal bill should one be passed but that he views the Lottery Corp. as an independent entity, free to argue for what it sees as the best policies on gambling.\nKeno is a centralized electronic drawing game, whose results are broadcast on video screens in bars, restaurants and stores in the states where it is offered, including New York and Massachusetts. In New York, a drawing is held every four minutes.\nPlayers pick between one and 10 numbers from an 80-number field. Picking five correct numbers on a 10-number bet wins $2, six gets $10, seven $45, eight $300, nine $5,000 and ten $100,000. Odds of winning $100,000 are one in 9 million.\nFarricker understands reservations about the game: Any expansion of legalized gambling generates a measure of unease, even in Connecticut, a state that sells more than $600 million in instant tickets every year and nets $300 million in annual revenue for state government.\nKeno was approved last year without a public hearing or debate, leaving many legislators and the public uncertain as to how dramatic an expansion of gambling it represents. Instead of being passed in a separate bill, it was added in late May to the final version of the budget.\nNo one is taking responsibility.\n\u201cThe way it was passed, it doesn\u2019t generate a great deal of confidence,\u201d Farricker said.\nJust as no one took responsibility for its inclusion in the budget, no one has been lobbying to save it: not Scientific Games, the vendor set to provide keno drawing system; and not the two tribes that stand to share in the profits.\nThe Mashantucket Pequots and Mohegans have exclusive rights to operate slot machines in return for sharing with the state a share of the proceeds. The deal produces nearly $300 million a year for the state, slightly less than the net revenue generated by the Lottery.\nThe tribes say that keno is a form of slots. To avoid litigation, the legislation passed last year as part of the budget authorized the Malloy administration to offer the tribe 12.5 percent of the net revenue from keno.\nOnce the administration gets the tribes to agree to an amendment of the slots deal, the Connecticut Lottery is authorized to go ahead with keno, which would expand the Lottery\u2019s presence by adding hundreds of bars and restaurants to its vendor network \u2014 unless the measure is repealed.\nKeno is not politically popular, according to most polls. While legislators are not lining up to defend the game, some are reluctant to give up on its promise of modest additional revenue, given the projections of budget shortfalls after this year\u2019s expected surplus.\nThe legislature\u2019s Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, which has jurisdiction over raising revenue, declined a request from the legislative leadership to draft a bill to repeal keno.\n\u201cFrom the finance committee\u2019s perspective, this is not a year where we\u2019re looking to eliminate revenue,\u201d said Rep. Patricia M. Widlitz, D-Guilford, co-chairwoman of the committee. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to do a now-you-see-it, now-you-don\u2019t kind of tax policy.\u201d\nThe Public Safety and Security Committee agreed to raise a repeal bill and schedule a public hearing for 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.\n\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d said Rep. Stephen Dargan, D-West Haven, co-chairman of the Public Safety and Security Committee, which is holding the hearing Tuesday on repeal. \u201cWe think it\u2019s important to hold the hearing. We want the public to have the opportunity.\u201d\nThe lottery corporation says it has no data on who would be attracted to keno.\nDiane Patterson, vice president of marketing, said last fall that she had no research indicating whether keno will draw new bettors, encourage more betting by existing customers or simply shift the market from existing games.\nThere probably will be a bit of all three, she said.\nIn New York, Quick Draw bets were 6.5 percent of the lottery\u2019s gross sales of $8.9 billion in 2012, up from 5.9 percent in 2011 and 5.4 percent in 2010.\nIn Massachusetts, the $790 million wagered on keno in 2012 was 17 percent of the lottery\u2019s gross revenues of $4.7 billion.\nConnecticut\u2019s legislature has estimated that keno could net the state $27 million, starting in 2015.",

        "raw_content": "This report was originally prepared for Boston University\u2019s Danielsen Institute. I wish to thank the Danielsen Institute, which made this study possible through honoring me as the 1995 Albert V. Danielsen Visiting Scholar. Carole Bohn, Ed.D., Director of the Danielsen Institute, and Arthur Dole, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Graduate School of Education, provided helpful suggestions in the original formulation of the study. Ann Kelley, Ph.D., Assistant Director for Finance and Development of the Danielsen Institute, graciously assisted the author in a myriad of administrative details. Dr. William Chambers, then Assistant Professor of Psychology at Mercer University\u2019s University College, analyzed the data from Component I and provided much helpful advice on the design and analysis of the study. Dr. Steven Lynn, then Professor of Psychology at Ohio University and now Professor of Psychology at SUNY Binghamton, and then Ohio University doctoral students, Drs. Jodi Aronoff, Peter Malinoski, and Nataliya Zelikovsky, analyzed the data from Component II and, with Dr. Paul Martin, Director of Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center, had primary responsibility for the development of the test battery used in Component II. Dr. Peter Malinoski also assisted in aspects of report writing. Carol Giambalvo was of invaluable assistance in the development of the DDD Scale, one of the measures used in this study. Rev. Robert Watts Thornburg, Dean of Boston University\u2019s Marsh Chapel, Rev. Harold Bussell, then Senior Pastor of the First Congregational Church of Hamilton, Massachusetts, Jeff Davis, Rev. Douglas Whallon, then New England Director of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IV), and IV staff members, Ming Wei, Colin Tomikawa, and Rich Lamb, helped recruit subjects. Leanne Pellegrini, Blair Smith, and Melissa Kelley assisted in the administration of test batteries. A special gratitude is owed the subjects who volunteered for this study; I deeply appreciate the time they gave to this research. I also wish to thank Herbert Rosedale, Esq., President of AFF, for his continuing support through this project, and my wife, Donna, and children, Jose and Ana, for bearing with me during the weeks in which I was away.\nThis study investigated former members of the International Churches of Christ (formerly and still often referred to as the Boston Church of Christ [BCC] or the Boston Movement) with regard to the nature and level of their psychological distress and their perceptions regarding the psychological abusiveness of the group. The BCC is one of the most controversial groups on college campuses, and is often considered one of the fastest growing \u201ccultic\u201d groups in the world. Psychological abusiveness was measured with the Group Psychological Abuse Scale and the DDD Scale, which inquires into concrete behaviors and practices thought to characterize the Boston Movement. Psychological distress was measured by a battery of self-report instruments, including the SCL-90R, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Dissociative Experiences Scale, the Impact of Events Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety and Anger Inventories. Psychological background variables, such as a history of child sexual abuse, were also investigated. The study consisted of two components. In Component One, the GPA and DDD were mailed with a demographic questionnaire to 228 former Boston Movement members throughout the U.S., of whom 40 responded. In Component Two, the psychological test battery, including the GPA but not the DDD, was administered to subjects face-to-face in the Boston area. Component Two included 15 former members of the Boston Movement and two comparison groups, 23 graduates of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a mainstream campus ministry, and 19 former Roman Catholics. Former Boston movement subjects rated their group significantly more abusive than did former Catholics or InterVarsity graduates and scored significantly higher on most measures of psychological distress.\nVarious groups, usually referred to as \u201ccults,\u201d have generated considerable controversy during the past two decades (see CQ Researcher, May 7, 1993), in large part because their critics tend to believe that cults have psychologically abusive environments that harm members. Although cults are usually thought of as religious, mental health professionals who have worked with cultists emphasize that they may also be psychological, political, or even commercial (Singer, 1987). Some religious organizations define \u201ccult\u201d theologically, but mental health professionals tend to use psychological definitions. According to this secular view, \u201ccults\u201d are distinguished from \u201cnew religions,\u201d \u201cnew political movements,\u201d innovative psychotherapies,\u201d and other \u201cnew\u201d groups in that cults are characterized by extensive use of unethically manipulative techniques of persuasion and control to advance the leader\u2019s goals, often to the psychological and economic detriment of his or her followers (Langone, 1993). It is important to note that, consistent with contemporary usage, this approach accepts the pejorative connotation \u201ccult\u201d has taken on in recent decades and, consequently, uses other words (e.g., \u201cnew religious movement\u201d) to describe groups, which in the past would have been deemed benign cults.\nCults are groups that often exploit members psychologically and/or financially, typically by making members comply with leadership\u2019s demands through certain types of psychological manipulation, popularly called mind control, and through the inculcation of deep-seated anxious dependency on the group and its leaders. (Chambers, et al., 1994)\nAmong the problems that clinicians have observed in their work with former cultists are depression, loneliness, indecisiveness, slipping into altered states, blurring of mental acuity, uncritical passivity, guilt, fear of cult reprisals and supernatural personal catastrophes, an acute sensitivity to the \u201cwatchfulness\u201d of parents and friends, difficulty explaining how they could have joined such a group, apprehension about their own idealism and altruism (which the cult had manipulated), a loss of the feeling of being a member of an elite, and financial difficulties (Singer, 1979).\nAmong groups commonly deemed cultic, the Boston Church of Christ (BCC) has been one of the most controversial (Ostling, May 18, 1992; Hill, Feb. 19, 1988). The BCC has been especially controversial on college campuses, including Boston University. A report by Boston University\u2019s Rev. Robert Watts Thornburg (Thornburg, 1989 [reprinted with modifications in Giambalvo & Rosedale, 1996]) provides useful background information on the BCC and a description of the psychologically abusive practices that have made it controversial. Thornburg said that the Boston Church of Christ aroused so much concern at Boston University that for the \u201cfirst time in the history of the University, leaders of a religious group have been formally and officially banned from coming onto the campus\u201d (p.5). He further states: \u201cAt the September 1987 meeting of the Religious Life Council of Boston University, it was concluded by those present that the leadership of the Boston Church, despite their claims of innocence, were either unwilling or unable to change their procedures. Our concerns can be grouped under several major categories of destructive activities\u201d (p.6):\n\u201cRecruitment techniques include the duplicitous use of love and high pressure harassment, producing incredibly high levels of false guilt\u201d (p.6).\n\u201cThe training process is a virtual cloning of one person by their prayer partner in a totally authoritarian relationship with no rights to personal choice or interpretation\u201d (p.8).\n\u201cIn methods (classic examples of mind control techniques) the BCC eliminates non-member association for new prospects, systematically cutting out any contacts with family, friends, or outside sources of reality checks\u201d (p.9).\n\u201cOnce established as the sole dispenser of salvation, this group then dominates every moment of the day, demanding attendance at every meeting of the organization\u201d (p.10).\n\u201cWhen total submission is acknowledged in a re-baptism, then the standard of faithfulness is measured by the number of recruits which each member can bring into the organization\u201d (p.12).\nThe problems associated with the BCC are tied to its method of discipleship (abusive discipleship, according to critics). Flavil Yeakley, a member of the fundamentalist Church of Christ denomination from which the BCC broke off and formerly the Director of the Church Growth Institute at Abilene Christian University, said that the Boston Church of Christ was \u201cthe leading congregation among the discipling churches\u201d (Yeakley, 1988, p.5). There is no reason to believe that this is no longer the case. One of the most controversial aspects of the discipling system is the discipler\u2019s giving \u201cdetailed personal guidance to the Christian being discipled. This guidance may include instructions concerning many personal matters of a totally secular nature\u201d (Yeakley, 1988, p.1). When carried to extremes the discipling system insists \u201con changing people at all costs \u2014 even at the cost of their personhood, autonomy, and uniqueness\u201d (Yeakley, 1988, p.19).\nYeakley, Thornburg, and other critics contend that the highly manipulative and exploitative environments of cultic groups harm many, if not most, members and former members of these groups. Although there is a wealth of clinical experience with former cult members (Langone, 1993, says that the contributors to his book, Recovery from Cults, have worked collectively \u201cwith at least 9,000 cultists and their families\u201d \u2014 p.2), the empirical literature is inconclusive. In part, this is due to methodological shortcomings in the research. First, there is no acceptable operational definition of \u201ccult\u201d; indeed, this reviewer knows of only one study that even attempted to measure the \u201ccultishness\u201d of a group (Adams, 1993). Second, samples are biased, either because the subjects are selected with the cooperation of group leaders (whose motives and trustworthiness may be suspect) or come from the network of former cult members who have sought help from cult educational organizations such as the American Family Foundation (AFF) or the Cult Awareness Network (CAN). Third, dependent measures are often not standardized and are unconnected to other research in this area. Fourth, few studies have used a comparison group. Fifth, because practical necessity demands that studies of harm in cultic groups be retrospective, it is extremely difficult to demonstrate causal connections.\nThis study attempted to at least partly address these methodological issues. The study examined: (1) former members\u2019 perception of psychological abusiveness in the group environment, and (2) former members\u2019 reports of psychological distress. The study focused on the Boston Church of Christ movement (BCC) because it is so controversial. Unlike other research in this area (see the next section for a literature review), this study employed a sample that does not derive largely from the network of organizations dedicated to helping former cult members and their families, used objective measures that assess the abusiveness of the group environment, and included two comparison groups: former members of a mainstream religious denomination (Roman Catholic) and graduates of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, a mainstream campus ministry. (Former Roman Catholics were recruited to serve as the mainstream denomination comparison group because the Boston area has a large number of Catholics.) The following primary questions were investigated:\nTo what extent if any do former members of the Boston Church of Christ perceive their group to be psychologically abusive (as measured by the Group Psychological Abuse Scale (Chambers et al., 1994) and how do their perceptions compare to those of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship graduates and former members of a mainstream denomination (Roman Catholics)?\nTo what extent do former members of the BCC report having had the types of specific, concrete experiences for which the BCC is often criticized \u2014 to be measured by the DDD Scale (a measure of concrete behaviors and experiences thought to reflect deception, dependency, and dread)?\nDo former members of the Boston Church of Christ report more psychological distress (as measured by a psychological test battery) than former members/graduates of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship or a mainstream denomination (Roman Catholics)?\nThe InterVarsity sample permits comparisons with a group whose former members (\u201cgraduates\u201d is a more appropriate term) are not expected to have been unhappy with the group. The former mainstream sample permits comparisons with people who were probably unhappy with various aspects of their former religious denomination. The latter sample helps test the hypothesis that negative ratings toward the BCC may result primarily from ex-members\u2019 disaffection, rather than their at least partly objective evaluation of a group that is indeed more abusive than mainstream groups.\nPre-group psychological distress. Some have suggested that post-cult psychological distress merely reflects long-standing psychological problems that pre-date the group involvement (Maleson, 1981; Spero, 1982). As-yet-unreported data from the research of Martin et al. (1992) found, to the investigators\u2019 surprise, an inverse relationship between pre-cult psychological distress and post-cult distress. Pre-cult distress, however, was measured by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of pre-cult psychological counseling. An alternate explanation of this surprising finding might be that those who had been counseled developed coping skills that enabled them to handle post-cult distress better than those who had not been counseled. This study and a related study at Ohio University are the first to use standardized instruments to assess pre-cult psychological distress, specifically the Physical Child Victimization Scale (Briere & Runtz, 1988), the Psychological Child Maltreatment Scale (Briere & Runtz, 1988), and the Childhood Sexual Victimization Questionnaire (Finkelhor, 1979).\nFamily background. Several studies (Sirkin & Grellong, 1988; Wright & Piper, 1986; Marcus & Grellong, submitted for publication to Cultic Studies Journal) suggest that cultists may be more likely to have dysfunctional family backgrounds, although other studies (Maron, 1988) and clinical observations (Singer, 1986; Clark et al., 1981) suggest that cult members\u2019 families are not likely to differ from those of noncult members. In this study (as with Sirkin & Grellong, Marcus & Grellong, and Maron), the Family Environment Scale (Moos & Moos, 1981) assesses subjects\u2019 family backgrounds.\n\u201cSeekerhood.\u201d Some investigators suggest that \u201ca pattern of seekership preceding conversion appears to be associated with stigmatized communal groups in which participation entails discontinuity of social roles\u201d (Robbins, 1988, p.82). This view predicts that those who join cultic groups are likely to have a history of religious seeking and are likely to have belonged to other unorthodox groups. Some empirical (Greil & Rudy, 1984) and clinical (Dubrow-Eichel & Dubrow-Eichel, 1988) evidence supports this notion. This study examined the seekerhood issue by asking subjects to list other groups to which they belonged.\nBecause the focus of this study is the relationship between psychological harm and psychological abuse in groups (\u201ccults\u201d in particular), I limit this review to the literature having to do with psychological harm. (The only study that examined psychological abusiveness in groups will be briefly discussed when the GPA Scale is described in the Methods section.)\nIt is important to reiterate that research on cult members is fraught with methodological problems. Studies are often based on different definitions of what constitutes a cult or \u201cnew religious movement.\u201d Subject samples are nearly always biased in some way. Data collected from members of groups whose willingness to deceive is well documented can be untrustworthy. \u201cPen-and-pencil\u201d personality tests and surveys do not effectively measure certain psychological states such as dissociation. Interview data are readily influenced by the fundamental conceptual assumptions of the interviewer. Those who observe cults may not be sensitive to the psychological subtleties that clinicians detect. Conversely, clinicians working with one cult member at a time may not fully appreciate social factors in cults. Statistical analyses are sometimes inappropriate to the problem at hand. And tendencies to over generalize and make unwarranted causal inferences are common.\nClinical reports tend to see dissociation as central to cult members\u2019 adaptation to a demanding and contradictory environment. Because self-report instruments do not effectively detect dissociation, critics view studies that use instruments such as the MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) with considerable skepticism. Indeed, in studies using the MMPI there is evidence that cult members are not honest in their responses; their Lie Scales tend to be elevated (Ungerleider & Wellisch, 1979) and there appears to be a \u201cmoderate attempt for both men and women to `look good'\u201d (Ross, 1983, p.418).\nSome research studies suggest that the level of harm associated with religious cults may be less than clinical reports indicate, at least for some groups. Levine and Salter (1976) and Levine (1984) found little evidence of impairment in structured interviews of over 100 cult members, although Levine and Salter did note some reservation about \u201cthe suddenness and sharpness of the change\u201d (p.415) that was reported to them. Ross (1983), who gave a battery of tests, including the MMPI, to 42 Hare Krishna members in Melbourne, Australia, reported that all \u201cscores and findings were within the normal range, although members showed a slight decline in mental health (as measured on the MMPI) after 1.5 years in the movement and a slight increase in mental health after 3 years in the movement\u201d (p.416). Ungerleider and Wellisch (1979), who interviewed and tested 50 members or former members of cults, found \u201cno evidence of insanity or mental illness in the legal sense\u201d (p.279), although, as noted earlier, members showed elevated Lie Scales on the MMPI. In studies of the Unification Church (Galanter, Rabkin, Rabkin, & Deutsch, 1979; Galanter, 1983), the investigators found improvement in well-being as reported by members, approximately one-third of whom had received mental health treatment before joining the group.\nOtis (1985) examined data from a survey of 2,000 members of Transcendental Meditation in 1971. Dropouts reported significantly fewer adverse effects than experienced meditators, and \u201cthe number and severity of complaints were positively related to duration of meditation\u201d (p.41). There was a consistent pattern of adverse effects, including anxiety, confusion, frustration, and depression. The \u201cdata raise serious doubts about the innocuous nature of TM\u201d (p.46).\nGalanter (1983), who studied sixty-six former Moonies, reports that \u201cthe large majority (89%) felt that they `got some positive things\u2019 out of membership, although somewhat fewer (61%) did feel that `Reverend Moon had a negative impact on members,\u2019 and only a bare majority (53%) felt that `current members should leave the Unification Church'\u201d (p.985). Galanter also found that \u201c36% of the respondents indicated the emergence of `serious emotional problems\u2019 at some time after leaving the church; 24% had `sought out professional help for emotional problems\u2019 after leaving; and 3% (i.e., two respondents) had been hospitalized for such problems during this interval\u201d (p.985). These findings were consistent with clinical reports during the 1970s and early 1980s. It is interesting, however, that Galanter was sometimes inclined to put a positive \u201cspin\u201d on the findings, e.g., his choosing to write that \u201conly (emphasis added) a bare majority (53%) felt that `current members should leave the Unification Church.'\u201d This is quite a large percentage given that, according to clinical investigations and countless ex-member reports, Unification Church members are indoctrinated to assume that the Church is always right and they, when dissenting, are always wrong. Indeed, Langone (1992) found that the suppression of dissent was one of the five most highly rated cult characteristics in a subject pool of 308 former cultists from 101 different groups. Thus, Galanter\u2019s indices of harm, though indirect and not low, may be underestimates.\nIn an in-process report of a survey of 308 former cult members, Langone paints an even more negative picture of the cult experience. Eighty-eight percent of 308 subjects from 101 groups saw their groups as harmful (37%) or very harmful (51%). During an average time of membership of 6.7 years, 11% of the subjects reported being sexually abused. Sixty-eight percent of the subjects each knew an average of 28 former members who had not contacted helping resources. Thus, approximately 5,500 persons known to these subjects had not sought help. Yet 30% of the subjects estimated that \u201call or nearly all\u201d of their friends and acquaintances had difficulty adjusting to post-group life, 21% felt that \u201cmost\u201d had difficulty, 4% \u201cabout half,\u201d 13% \u201csome,\u201d 6% \u201chardly any,\u201d and 25% were unsure. Martin et al. (1992) used a variety of instruments, including the Millon Clinical Multiaxal Inventory (MCMI) to assess the psychological status of 111 former cultists. Martin says:\nThis sample of ex-cultists can be characterized as having abnormal levels of distress in several of the personality and clinical symptom scales. Of those subjects completing the MCMI-I, 89% had BR\u2019s [\u201cBase Rates\u201d \u2014 indicates presence of a disorder] of 75 or better on at least one of the first eight scales. Furthermore, 106 out of the 111 subjects (95%) who completed the MCMI at Time I had at least one BR score on one of the MCMI scales. The contention that this population of former cultists is indeed distressed is further buttressed by their mean score of 102 on the HSCL (Hopkins Symptom Check List). Typically, scores of over 100 are indicative of the need for psychiatric care. Moreover, these ex-cultists had a mean of 72 on the SBS-HP burnout scale , which is suggestive of burnout and more than one standard deviation above the mean from Martin\u2019s (1983) sample of para-church workers. (Martin et al., 1992, pp.231, 234)\nYeakley (1988) gave 835 members of the Boston Church of Christ (BCC) the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), a psychological instrument that classifies people according to Carl Jung\u2019s type system. Individuals may differ in the way in which they tend to perceive (some being more sense oriented, others more intuition oriented), the way they judge (thinking oriented versus feeling oriented) and their basic attitudes (extraversion versus introversion). Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs, the developers of the MBTI, added a dimension to Jung\u2019s typology: the person\u2019s preferred way of orienting himself to the outside world. This orientation may be judging or perceiving. The MBTI thus produces 16 personality types based upon the permutations of these variables. Yeakley asked subjects to answer the questions in the MBTI as they think they would have answered before their conversion, as they felt at the time of testing, and as they think they will answer after five more years of discipling in the BCC. He found that \u201ca great majority of the members of the Boston Church of Christ changed psychological type scores in the past, present, and future versions of the MBTI\u201d (p.34) and that \u201cthe observed changes in psychological type scores were not random since there was a clear convergence in a single type\u201d (p.35). The type toward which members converged was that of the group\u2019s leader. Comparisons with members of mainstream denominations showed no convergence, but members of other cultic groups did show convergence, although toward different types than that on which the BCC members converged. Yeakley concludes that \u201cthere is a group dynamic operating in that congregation that influences members to change their personalities to conform to the group norm\u201d (p.37). Yeakley\u2019s study does not tell us whether or not the changes occur, but it does provide compelling evidence that members perceive themselves as changing in the direction of a common personality type. Although Yeakley\u2019s study did not directly examine harm, it does indirectly support clinical observations, which contend that the personalities of cult members are bent, so to speak, to fit the group.\nClinical observations (Ash, 1985; Clark, 1979; Langone, 1991) and research studies (Galanter, 1989; Langone, 1992) suggest that people join cults during periods of stress or transition, when they are most open to what the group has to say. Approximately one-third appear to have been psychologically disturbed before joining, as evidenced by having participated in pre-cult psychotherapy or counseling (with figures varying from 7% to 62% of subjects among eight studies \u2014 Barker, 1984; Galanter et al., 1979; Galanter & Buckley, 1978; Knight, 1986; Spero, 1982; Schwartz, 1985; Sirkin & Grellong, 1988). The majority, however, appear to have been relatively normal individuals before joining a cult.\nCertain studies cited earlier (Levine, 1984; Ross, 1983; Ungerleider & Wellisch, 1979) found that cult members score within the normal range on psychological tests or psychiatric interviews. Galanter (1983) found some improvement in the general well-being of cult joiners, which he attributed to a psychobiologically grounded \u201crelief effect\u201d of charismatic groups.\nThe inescapable conclusion seems to be that the cult experience is not what it appears to be (at least for those groups that deem it important to put on a \u201chappy face\u201d), either to observers or to members under the psychological influence of the group. As Wright (1987) found, when members are separated from the group for a period of time, have an opportunity to share doubts with an intimate, witness the failures of the group, or learn about or observe the hypocrisies of the group\u2019s leadership, the group\u2019s psychological influence over the individual wanes. Clinical observers, beginning with Clark (1979) and Singer (1978), appear to be correct in their contention that dissociative defenses help cult members adapt to the contradictory and intense demands of the cult environment. So long as members are not rebelling against the group\u2019s psychological controls, they can appear to be \u201cnormal.\u201d However, this normal appearing personality, as West and Martin (1994) maintain, is a pseudo-identity. When cult members leave their groups, the flood gates open and they suffer. But they don\u2019t generally return because the suffering they experience after leaving the cult is more genuine than the \u201chappiness\u201d they experienced while in it. A painful truth is better than a pleasant lie.\nComponent 1 (mailed survey). A total of 40 former Boston movement subjects returned usable questionnaires, a response rate of 18%. Sixty percent of the subjects were female. Subjects\u2019 average age at the time of completing the questionnaire was 37.5 years. Sixty percent were married, 30% single, and the other 10% equally divided among separated, divorced, divorced and remarried, and widowed. Seventeen subjects had an average of 2.4 children; 3 subjects had an average of 2.3 children who were born while the subjects were in the group. Eighty-seven and one-half percent of the subjects were white, 7.5% Asian, 2.5% black, and 2.5% Hispanic. Current average annual household gross income was $42,162.\nReligious upbringing more or less reflected national averages: 25% Protestant, fundamental; 20% Protestant, liberal; 30% Roman Catholic; 2.5% Jewish; 2.5% Eastern; 15% other; and 5% none. Current religious preferences, however, indicated a marked falling away from mainstream religion, except for \u201cProtestant, fundamental,\u201d which probably reflects the mainstream Church of Christ\u2019s energetic outreach to the Boston movement population: 32.5% Protestant, fundamental; 2.5% Protestant, liberal; 2.5%, Roman Catholic; 2.5% Jewish; 2.5% Islamic; 32.5% other; 22.5% none; 2.5% missing data.\nSubjects had belonged to the Boston movement an average of 4.5 years and had been out of the group an average of 6.5 years. Unlike early research studies (e.g., Conway et al., 1986), which relied upon samples derived from the network of cult educational organizations, only a small percentage of subjects from this study left the group because of deprogramming (2.5%) or exit counseling (10%). Fifty-seven and one-half percent said they had \u201cwalked away\u201d; 12.5% reported having been ejected from their group; 15% responded \u201cother\u201d; and 2.5% had missing data for this question.\nAverage annual household income of the groups was: $44,767 (all groups); $38, 857 (BCC); $56, 389 (IV); $32,214 (RC). The income figure for most subjects in the latter two groups probably referred to parents\u2019 income.\nCurrent religious preferences demonstrated substantial change from religious upbringing. Obviously, none of the former Roman Catholics were still Catholics. Fourteen of the 19 former Catholics (74%) declared \u201cnone\u201d as their religious preference; 4 (21%) checked \u201cother\u201d; and 1 (5%) preferred Protestant, liberal. Seven of 15 former Boston movement subjects (47%), again reflecting the influence of the mainstream Church of Christ on this movement, selected \u201cProtestant, fundamental\u201d as their current religious preference. One identified with \u201cProtestant, liberal\u201d (7%); 1 with \u201cother\u201d (7%); and 6 with \u201cnone\u201d (40%). Ten of 23 InterVarsity graduates considered themselves to be Protestant, fundamental (43%); 6 Protestant, liberal (26%); 2 Roman Catholic (9%); 4 other (17%); and 1 none (4%).\nAverage number of years of education was also high for Component 2 subjects. Former Roman Catholics, most of whom were still students at Boston University, had an average of 14.6 years of education (SD=2.0): 3 had a bachelor\u2019s degree; 2 a master\u2019s. Former BCC subjects had an average of 16.5 years of education (SD=2.5): 2 had an associate\u2019s degree; 9 a bachelor\u2019s; 3 a master\u2019s; 2 another degree; and 3 no degree. IV graduates had an average of 16.3 years of education (SD=.92): 23 had bachelor\u2019s degrees; 1 a master\u2019s (presumably one subject checked both categories).\nResults regarding method of departure for the former BCC subjects were similar to those for Component 1: 10 said they walked away (67%); 2 were ejected (13%); 3 were exit counseled (20%). One InterVarsity graduate and 2 former Catholics checked \u201cother\u201d for method of departure, perhaps reflecting some ambiguity in the listed choices with respect to these populations.\nBackground. A background questionnaire collected background information, information on the subject\u2019s experience with the group in question, and information on the subject\u2019s psychological history.\nGroup Psychological Abuse Scale (GPA Scale). The GPA Scale is a factor-analytically derived, 28-item scale based upon the responses of 308 former members of 101 cultic groups to 112 questions inquiring into the nature of the group environment (Chambers et al., 1994). The GPA includes four distinct factors, labeled Compliance, Exploitation, Mind Control, and Anxious Dependency. The range for the composite score is 28-140. The range for subscales is 7-35. Scores above the midpoint (84 for the composite; 21 for subscales) indicate the subject is rating the group as in the abusive range. A master\u2019s thesis reported that this scale successfully differentiated former members of the BCC in Cincinnati from former members of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (Adams, 1993). Former BCC members scored higher than IV graduates on all subscales. This study replicated and expanded Adams\u2019s study, but added a former mainstream denomination comparison group.\nDDD Scale. This scale was developed by Carol Giambalvo and me in order to assess the degree to which former members of the Boston movement experienced concrete events related to deception, induced dependency, and dread, which Singer, Temerlin, & Langone (1990) contend are central to the behavioral changes observed in people who join cults. The DDD Scale consists of a list of concrete behaviors and events exemplifying the DDD process as it is alleged to occur in the BCC.\nPart 1 of the DDD Scale includes one question asking what name the group used when the person was first recruited and 18 questions that ask subjects to rate the accuracy (1=definitely true; 2=probably true; 3=don\u2019t know; 4=probably not true; 5=definitely not true) of statements that refer to the period of time when they were relatively new to the group, that is, when they first joined or the first few months after joining. These statements were selected because they are believed to reflect common types of deceptions practiced by the BCC. Part 2 asks subjects to rate the accuracy of statements that refer to any time during which they were members. These questions were selected because they are believed to reflect practices and beliefs that contribute to deception, dependency, and dread. This section consists of 48 questions that ask subjects to rate the degree to which the statement was accurate in their personal experience (e.g., \u201cYou were personally told this at least once\u201d) and 48 paired questions that ask subjects to rate the degree to which the statement applies to the BCC movement (e.g., \u201cThe statement above characterizes the group\u201d). Three additional questions ask subjects how many disciplers they had, how many people they discipled, and the degree to which their happiness was a function of the qualities of their disciplers. One question asked if the person was encouraged to date or discouraged from dating a particular person and one question asked if the person had been told to break up a dating relationship with a nonmember.\nFive composite scores were constructed for the DDD Scale, with some questions being reversed scored because a \u201cdefinitely true\u201d rating would reflect a positive characteristic of the group. Non-rated items were not included in the composite scores. Thus, lower scores indicate a more negative evaluation of the group. DDD consists of the sum of all ratings and has a range from 120 to 600. DDDA consists of the sum of ratings in Part 1 and has a range from 18 to 90. DDDB consists of ratings in Part 2 and has a range from 102 to 510. DBSELF consists of those questions in Part 2 that refer specifically to subjects\u2019 personal experience (range: 48-240), and DBGROUP consists of those questions in Part 2 that refer to subjects\u2019 evaluations of the group in general (range: 48-240). Assuming that subjects are more likely to be accurate in their ratings of personal experiences than their ratings of the group, DBSELF provides a more conservative and reliable means of assessing subjects\u2019 experience of practices contributing to deception, dependency, and dread.\nQuestions on the demographic questionnaire that inquire into perceptions of how much pressure was put on subjects when they left and their global evaluations of the group\u2019s harmfulness.\nSCL-90-R. The SCL-90-R (Derogatis, 1977; Derogatis, Lipman, & Covi, 1973) is a 90-item, multidimensional, self-report measure of symptoms, especially those seen in psychiatric and medical outpatients. The measure, which is designed to reflect psychological symptom patterns, is scored and interpreted according to 9 primary symptom dimensions and 3 global indices of distress. The symptom dimensions are: Somatization, Obsessive-Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, Hostility, Phobic Anxiety, Paranoid Ideation, and Psychoticism. Global indices include the Global Severity Index (GSI), the Positive Symptom Distress Index (PSDI), and the Positive Symptom Total (PST). Internal consistency and test-retest reliability coefficients for the SCL-90 range from .77 to .90 on the various symptom dimensions. Criterion validity studies have been performed with several scales of the MMPI and the Middlesex Hospital Questionnaire, among other instruments. The SCL-90 has also been used productively in studies with cancer patients, substance abusers, and sexual disorders.\nBeck Depression Inventory (BDI). The Beck Depression Inventory (Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961) is one of the most commonly used self-report methods of assessing depression. Written in a multiple-choice format, the BDI is symptom focused, with each item reflecting behavioral manifestations and symptoms of depression, such as depressed mood, negative attitude, psychomotor retardation, and somatic complaints. The four choices within each item are rank-ordered and weighted to reflect severity (0-3) of depression. The scores across all items are summed, with the total score ranging from 0 to 63. A score of 10 or more is considered to be beyond the normal range and a score of 17 or more suggestive of depressive disorder.\nInternal consistency is high, with a mean alpha coefficient of .86 for studies involving psychiatric populations and .81 for nonpsychiatric populations. The test-retest stability correlations, though troublesome because of the variability of a person\u2019s experience of depression, are adequate, ranging from .48 to .86. Concurrent validity has been demonstrated with diverse measures, including the Hamilton Psychiatric Rating Scale for Depression, the Zung Self-Reported Depression Scale, the MMPI depression scale, and the Multiple Affect Adjective Checklist Depression Scale. The mean correlations for the concurrent validity studies ranged from .60 to .76 (Conoley, 1990).\nDissociative Experiences Scale (DES). The DES (Bernstein & Putnam, 1986) is a 28-item, self-report inventory used as a screening instrument for dissociative experiences and disorders. The subjects are asked to indicate the percentage of time that they experience feelings and behaviors described in each statement, by making a mark on a line labeled 0 to 100. The subjects are also asked to write down in a space provided, a percentage score corresponding to their mark. The total score is calculated by summing across the indicated percentages. The mean scores can range from 0 to 100. The reliability coefficients (Spearman-Brown) of the items ranged from .19 to .75. Test-retest reliability is reported to be r=.84, and the criterion-referenced validity is good as well, while the construct validity is adequate, ranging from .50 to .79 (Bernstein & Putnam, 1986).\nDraijer & Boon (1993) and Steinberg, Rounsaville, & Cicchetti (1991) reported that the DES distinguished control patients from patients with dissociative disorders, as determined by scores on the Structured Clinical Interview for The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Dissociative Disorders (SCID-D). Ross, Joshi, and Currie (1991), who gave the DES to 1055 respondents in the general population of Winnipeg, identified three factors accounting for 47.1% of the combined variance of the scores: absorption-imaginative involvement; activities of dissociative states; depersonalization/derealization. Carlson and Putnam (1993) reviewed studies relating to norms, reliability, and validity of the DES and concluded that, though useful, the DES needs refinement and additional validation research.\nHopkins Symptom Checklist, subscales for dissociation. Briere & Runtz (1990) took one item found in the standard HSCL (Hopkins Symptom Check List) and SCL-90 (Symptom Check List) which appears to tap dissociative symptomatology (\u201cYour mind going blank\u201d) and added 13 items based on clinical experience and congruent with the style and comprehension level of the SCL-90. These questions were then embedded in the HSCL or the SCL-90. Reliability analysis of the Dissociation scale for Samples 1 and 2 showed internal consistency for both (alpha = .85 and .90, respectively). For Sample 1, the mean, using the HSCL scoring format, was 20.95 (SD \u2013 5.80). For sample 2, using the SCL-90 format, the mean was 11.41 (SD \u2013 10.11). The Sample 2 scale showed a correlation between dissociation scores and histories of sexual (r = .14, p = .007) and physical (r = .23, p < .001) abuse in childhood. Two brief dissociation measures are used in order to compensate for psychometric deficiencies in each.\nState-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). The STAI (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) consists of 40 items measuring two distinct forms of anxiety. The state form of anxiety is transitory feelings of fear and worry, which most people occasionally experience. As emotional states and subjective feelings vary in intensity, subjects are asked to indicate how well the statements describe them at the present time. The 20 state-anxiety scale items are each rated on a four-point intensity scale, labeled \u201cNot At All,\u201d \u201cSomewhat,\u201d \u201cModerately So,\u201d and \u201cVery Much So.\u201d The trait form is a stable tendency for an individual to respond anxiously to a stressful situation. Individuals are asked to indicate how they \u201cgenerally feel.\u201d The 20 trait-anxiety scale items are rated on a four-point frequency scale that is labeled \u201cAlmost Never,\u201d \u201cSometimes,\u201d \u201cOften,\u201d and \u201cAlmost Always.\u201d The scores of each of the two forms of anxiety range from 20 to 80. High scores on their respective scales mean more state or trait anxiety.\nState Trait Anger Scale (STAS). The STAS, developed by Spielberger, Jacobs, Russell, and Crane (1983), consists of 20 items emphasizing the distinction between state and trait aspects of anger. For the construction of this measure, state anger was defined as an emotional state or condition that consists of subjective feelings of tension, annoyance, irritation, fury, and rage. The 10 state-anger scale items are each rated on a four-point intensity scale, labeled \u201cNot at All,\u201d \u201cSomewhat,\u201d \u201cModerately So,\u201d and \u201cVery Much So.\u201d Trait anger was defined in terms of individual differences in the frequency with which anger was experienced over time. The trait-anger scale is divided into two subscales: angry temperament and angry reaction. The 10 trait-anger scale items are rated on a four-point frequency scale that is labeled \u201cAlmost Never,\u201d \u201cSometimes,\u201d \u201cOften,\u201d and \u201cAlmost Always.\u201d The scores on the state and trait scales range from 10 to 40.\nThe norms for the STAS are based on large samples of high school students, military recruits, and college students. The alpha coefficient for college students for the state-anger scale is .95 for males and females. The alpha coefficient for the trait-anger scale is .89 for males and .91 for females. In a study of male inmates (Kroner & Reddon, 1992), the coefficient alpha was .94 for the state-anger scale and .88 for the trait-anger scale. In this sample, the stability coefficient for the state-anger scale was .70 at one-week follow-up and .88 at one-month follow-up. The test-retest coefficients for the trait-anger scale were .57 and .64, and one-week and one-month intervals, respectively. The state scale\u2019s stronger stability than the trait scale is surprising.\nImpact of Events Scale (IES). The Impact of Events Scale (Horowitz, Wilner, & Alvarez, 1979) contains 15 items that assess the experience of posttraumatic stress for specific life events and their context (e.g., death of a loved one). The IES measures intrusive experiences and the recognized avoidance of certain ideas. IES subscales show internal consistency coefficients ranging from .79 to .92. The IES differentiated outpatients seeking treatment for bereavement and three field samples. Normative data are available on a sample of 35 outpatients and 37 adult volunteers who had a recently deceased parent.\nFamily Environment Scale (FES). The Family Environment Scale (Moos & Moos, 1981) is a multidimensional measure of the perceived family environment. It assesses the interpersonal relationships among family members (Relationship Dimension), the directions of personal growth stressed by the family (Personal Dimension), and the organizational structure of the family (System Maintenance Dimension). The scale consists of 90 true-false statements divided equally among 10 subscales which constitute these three major dimensions. Internal consistencies for the subscales range from .61 to .78 Test-retest reliabilities range from .68 to .86 (8 weeks) and .52 to .89 (12 months) (Busch-Rossnagel, 1991)\nPhysical Child Victimization Scale (PCVS). The PCVS was adapted from Briere and Runtz (1988). The scale consists of five items describing various parental behaviors that might be considered physically abusive. The items are answered on a six-point scale ranging from 0 (never) to 6 (more than 20 times a year). Subjects report the frequency of occurrence for each item before the age of 16, separately for each parent (mother or step mother and father or step father). The scores on the PCVS may range from 0 to 30 for each parent, with the highest possible score being a 60. The internal consistency of this scale is acceptable (alpha = .78 for mother and .75 for father).\nPsychological Child Maltreatment Scale (PCMS). The PCMS was also adapted from Brier and Runtz (1988) and follows the same format as the physical abuse scale. It consists of 7 items that reflect verbal reactions, rather than physical behaviors, that might be psychologically damaging to the individual. The items are scored on the same six-point scale as the ones for physical abuse, ranging from 0 (never) to 6 (more than 20 times a year). The scores on the PCMS have a possible range of 0 to 42 for each parent, with a highest possible score of 84. The internal consistency of this scale is also acceptable (alpha = .87) (Briere & Runtz, 1988).\nChildhood Sexual Victimization Questionnaire (CSVQ). This measure, comprised of eight questions, was adapted from Finkelhor (1979). The subjects are asked to read each statement and respond whether the described sexual experiences occurred to them before the age of 16. The items increase in severity ranging from \u201cAnother person showing his/her sex organs to you\u201d to \u201cAnother person had intercourse with you.\u201d The subjects are also asked the approximate age of the other person(s) and how old they were when they had the sexual experience corresponding to the last number to which they answer \u201cyes.\u201d In this study, individuals who endorse any of the sexual experiences described in the questionnaire with a person five or more years older than the respondent will be considered sexually victimized.\nSubject Group GPA Mean\nBCC (n=40), Component 1 105.00 13.69\nIV (n=23), Component 2 46.00\nRC (n=19), Component 2 65.26 15.90\nA one-way ANOVA was conducted on the three groups in component two on the overall GPA score. The ANOVA was significant, F(2,52) = 112.62, p < .0001. Tukey post-hoc tests showed that the former BCC members scored significantly higher on the GPA (M = 108.5, SD = 11.28) than the former Catholics (M = 65.26, SD = 15.90) and the former InterVarsity members (M = 46.91, SD = 8.10). The former Catholics scored significantly higher than the former InterVarsity members. Neither the former Catholic, nor the IV group\u2019s average score was above the 84 neutral score separating nonabusive from abusive ratings. Indeed, the mean for the ex-Catholic group was nearly 1.2 standard deviations below 84., while the IV mean was 4.6 standard deviations below 84. The BCC mean, on the other hand, was 2.2 standard deviations above 84.\nThe GPA also evaluates the degree of psychological abuse on four subscales: anxiety, compliance, mind control, and exploitation. A MANOVA was conducted on the four subscales for the three groups in Component 2. The MANOVA was significant, Wilks\u2019 = .108, F(8,98) = 25.00, p < .001. Follow-up ANOVAs on each of the variables revealed that all were significant. Tukey\u2019s post-hoc tests indicated that the former BCC members scored higher than either of the other two groups on all four subscales (see Table 2). Former Catholics scored significantly higher than Intervarsity graduates on Anxious Dependency, Mind Control, and Exploitation. Table 2 gives the results for subjects in both components.\nSubject Group Subscale Scores (Standard Deviation)\nCompliance Exploitation Mind Control Anx.

The discriminant function analysis revealed that the GPA score alone could predict group membership better than chance, Wilk\u2019s = .188, F(2,52) = 112.62, p < .001. The classification results in Table 3 revealed that 13 of the 14 former BCC members 92.9%) were correctly classified on the basis of their GPA scores. None of the former IV members and only 2 of 19 former Catholics were incorrectly classified as former BCC members. Overall, the discriminant function correctly classified 76.4% of the cases.\nActual Group (No. Cases) Predicted Group\nBCC (14) 13 (92.9%) 0 (0%) 1 (7.1%)\nIV (22) 0 (0%) 20 (90.9%) 2 (9.1%)\nRC (19) 2 (10.5%) 8 (42.1%) 9 (47.4%)\nTwo questions in the demographic questionnaire asked subjects to give global ratings that reflect how abusive they perceived their group environment to be. One question said: \u201cOverall, how beneficial/harmful was the group experience for you? Ratings were: 1 = \u201cvery beneficial,\u201d 2 = \u201cbeneficial,\u201d 3 = \u201cneutral,\u201d 4 = \u201charmful,\u201d 5 = \u201cvery harmful.\u201d The other question asked: \u201cTo what extent did group pressures make it difficult for you to leave?\u201d Ratings were 1 = \u201cvery difficult,\u201d 2 = \u201cdifficult,\u201d 3 = \u201cnot sure,\u201d 4 = \u201cmildly difficult,\u201d 5 = \u201cno difficulty.\u201d\nGroup Group Harm Mean (SD) Group Pressure Mean (SD)*\nBCC, Component One 3.78 (1.10) 2.18 (1.34)\nBCC, Component Two 4.00 (0.93) 2.20 (1.32)\nIV, Component Two 1.17 (0.39) 4.95 (0.21)\nRC, Component Two 2.95 (0.78) 3.58 (1.30)\nTable 5 contains the means and standard deviations of subjects\u2019 scores on the DDD Scale. DDD refers to the sum of ratings for all items (range: 120 to 600; 120 corresponds to an average rating of 1; 240 to 2). DDDA refers to the sum of ratings for Part 1 (range: 18-90; 18 corresponds to an average rating of 1; 36 to 2). DDDB refers to the sum of ratings for Part 2 (range: 102 to 510; 102 refers to an average rating of 1; 204 to 2). DBSELF refers to the sum of ratings for items in Part 2 that refer specifically to subjects\u2019 personal experience (range: 48-240; 48 corresponds to\nan average rating of 1; 96 to 2). DBGROUP refers to the sum of ratings for items in Part 2 that refer to subjects\u2019 evaluations of the group (range: 48-240; 48 corresponds to an average rating of 1; 96 to 2). Lower scores reflect more negative ratings, with 1 = definitely true, 2= probably true, 3= don\u2019t know or can\u2019t decide, 4 = probably not true, and 5 = definitely not true.\nScale Mean (Av.

Most questions first ask if the subject experienced what the statement in question describes and then ask if the subject believes the statement characterizes the BCC. In general, subjects\u2019 reports strongly supported allegations that the BCC is deceptive, fosters dependency, and inculcates dread. However, for some questions there was considerable variation in subjects\u2019 responses, and sometimes the results were inconsistent with stereotypes that view the movement as monolithically negative with regard to certain practices.\nThis variation may be related to the discipler\u2019s role: Forty-five percent of subjects said that their happiness in the movement definitely varied significantly according to the qualities of their disciplers, while an additional 30% said their happiness probably was related to the discipler they happened to have. Given that subjects had an average of 5.4 disciplers during their membership and themselves discipled an average of 7.9 members, it seems quite possible that the characteristics and practices of individual disciplers may have colored the experiences of subjects. This question requires further research.\nOne of the most common criticisms of the BCC and other cultic groups is the use of deception during the recruitment phase. Part One of the DDD examined this issue by asking subjects to rate 18 statements, most of which were stated in two ways: how true the statement was with regard to subjects\u2019 personal experience, and how truly subjects\u2019 now believe the statement characterizes the BCC. The average score on this part of the DDD (DDDA) was 32.67 (SD = 9.84), or an average rating of 1.82 (1.00 = \u201cdefinitely true\u201d; 2.00 = \u201cprobably true\u201d), which indicates most subjects believed that the BCC was deceptive.\n1. You were told \u201cwe\u2019re just a nondenominational Bible study group.\u201d (87.5%; 7.5%) [n/a]\n2. If you joined on a college campus, you were told that the group\u2019s name was something other than ICC or BCC. (32.5%; 12.5%) [n/a].\n4.

Prior to doing the Individual Bible Study, you were told that you were not considered a Christian and that the only way to become a Christian was to be baptized by this group, have a discipler, and be totally committed to the movement. (37.5%; 52.5%) [97.5%; 2.5%]\n13/14. You knew that you had been discussed openly in a leaders meeting and that several people were assigned to be your \u201cfriends\u201d and to encourage you to become a member.

You were told about the movement\u2019s beginnings in the Crossroads Church of Christ in Gainesville, Florida. (37.5%; 55%) [n/a]\n19. Prior to your baptism in the BCC, you were told that the leader of the movement was Kip McKean? (45%; 35%) [n/a]\nAnother question relevant to initial deceptions asked: \u201cWhat name did the group use?\u201d Twenty-one subjects listed no name; 3 listed Boston Church of Christ. The others listed the following: Dekalb Church of Christ; Antelope Valley Church; Historical and Literature Society; Central Christian Church; \u201cNo name, only a nondenominational Bible study\u201d; Christian Student Center; St. Louis Church of Christ; The Atlanta Church; \u201cCall Street Church of Christ \u2013 then University\u201d; Dekalb Church of Christ; Campus Advance; OHANA; Campus Advance; Campus Advance; \u201cCampus (something) I can\u2019t remember.\u201d Several of these names may be the local BCC name. Others appear to be unrelated to the BCC/ICCC name and, therefore, may have served as a \u201cfront\u201d name. Unfortunately, the DDD did not ask if subjects initially did not realize the group they joined was the BCC. Future research should correct this oversight.\n1a/b. Having any savings accounts \u2014 except for money being saved for \u201cspecial collections\u201d \u2014 was considered to be \u201cfalling away insurance.\u201d (17.5%; 62.5%) [50%; 27.5%]\n35a/b. Members are told that they should take part in a group-sponsored study about planning their finances and proper contributions to the movement? (47.5% said they actually participated in such a study; 32.5% did not) [72.5%; 7.5%]\n36a/b. Members are told that they should personally sacrifice in order to give money to the group. (82.5%; 5%) [92.5%; 0%]\n37a/b. Members are told that they should be willing to sell personal items in order to give more money to the group \u2014 especially for \u201cspecial contributions.\u201d (72.5%; 22.5%) [90%; 7.5%]\nThe most conspicuously defining feature of the Boston movement is the nearly absolute authority of the discipler (i.e., leadership) over the individual, with the movement\u2019s leadership being seen as part of a divine pyramidal hierarchy that has God at the head. This authoritarian structure may contribute to the sense of dependency many ex-cult members report. The following percentages of subjects reported (i.e., they rated the statement \u201cdefinitely true\u201d or \u201cprobably true\u201d) that they personally experienced or were told the following (the percentage reporting the opposite are italicized; brackets contain the percentage of subjects who now believe the statement characterizes the group or, in italics, does not characterize the group):\n21a/b.

Members are told that if a person is not being discipled he or she is not a Christian (87.5%; 12.5%) [90%; 10%]\nBecause members\u2019 subordination to the leadership\u2019s authority can be threatened by outside influences, the BCC, as do many other controversial groups, tends to isolate members psychologically, if not physically. Subjects reported experiencing or being told the following, all of which statements can be interpreted as aspects of dread, which facilitates subordination through isolation:\n4a/b. Members should not date anyone the group does not deem \u201cspiritual enough\u201d (65%; 15%) [90%; 5%]\n5. You were at least once strongly encouraged to date (or strongly discouraged from dating) some particular person. (50%; 22.5%) [n/a]\n6.

Members are strongly encouraged to move out of present living situations \u2014 even parental homes \u2014 to move in with other sisters or brothers in the group (72.5%; 7.5%) [95%; 2.5%]\n14a/b. Members are told that outside the movement there are no other Christian churches where salvation can be found (90%; 7.5%) [100%; 0%]\n15a/b.

The ANCOVA was significant, F(3,52) = 5.80, p = .002. The MCSDS was a significant covariate, F(1,52) = 9.43, p = .003 and the ANCOVA detected a group effect, F(2,52) = 5.03, p = .010. Pairwise Tukey post-hoc tests on the adjusted means (corrected for alpha inflation at the .05 level) revealed that the former BCC members Madj = .937) scored significantly higher than the former InterVarsity members (Madj = .419). Former Catholics (Madj = .696) did not differ from either of the other groups. Unadjusted means for the former BCC members, former IV members, and former Catholics were .931, .467, and .654, respectively.\nIn order to investigate differences among the groups of former members on dissociation a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was conducted using the MCSDS as a covariate and the DES and the Dissociation Scale of the HSCL as dependent variables. The overall MANCOVA model was significant, Wilks\u2019 = .861, F(2,51) = 4.132, p = .022; the model also revealed a significant group effect, Wilks\u2019 = .771, F(4,102) = 3.541, p > .010. Thus, follow-up ANCOVA analyses were used to examine differences among the groups on each dissociation variable independently. The ANCOVA model on the DES revealed that the MCSDS was not a significant covariate. it was thus dropped and an ANOVA on the DES was significant, F(2,54) = 4.70, p = .0131. Post-hoc Tukey pairwise comparisons on the group means revealed that the former BCC members indicated more dissociation (M = 13.76) than the former InterVarsity members (M = 4.92). Former Catholics (M = 7.74) did not significantly differ from either of the other two groups on the DES.\nAn ANCOVA was used to evaluate differences among the three groups on the Impact of Events Scale (IES) total score, using the MCSDS as a covariate. The overall model was significant, F(3,50) = 4.41, p = .008, but the MCSDS was not significant as a covariate. Thus, it was dropped from the analysis and an ANOVA was conducted on the group means. The ANOVA was significant, F(2,52) = 6.71, p = .0026. Tukey post-hoc tests revealed that the former BCC members scored higher (M = 33.73, SD = 23.38) than both the former Catholics (M = 16.11, SD = 16.30) and the IV graduates (M = 11.90, SD = 15.61), both p\u2019s < .05. No differences were detected between former Catholics and IV graduates.\nNo differences among Component Two groups were detected on the Psychological Child Maltreatment Scale (PCMS), using ANCOVA\u2019s with the MCSDS as a covariate or using ANOVA\u2019s.\nUnfortunately, the Physical Child Victimization Scale (PCVS) was unable to provide an overall measure of physical abuse. Adding up the responses produced a skewness and kurtosis of the variable under investigation (there is a huge clustering of responses about 0 \u2014 no physical abuse reported). Thus, underlying assumptions for ANOVA\u2019s are violated. Moreover, it is difficult to draw a line between nonabusive and abusive corporal punishment. The only reasonable approach appeared to be to analyze the three groups in Component Two in their responses to the items about conflicts leading to severe injury (i.e., bruises, scars, broken bones, bleeding) with their mothers and fathers because few would doubt that such injuries constitute abuse.\nA chi-square analysis detected no differences concerning the mothers\u2019 physical conflicts with their children. Two of the 15 former BCC members, 1 of 19 former Catholics, and 0 of 23 IV graduates reported severe injury at the hands of their mothers.\nCohesion (degree of commitment, help, and support among family members)\nConflict (amount of openly expressed anger, aggression, conflict)\nIndependence (extent to which family members are assertive, self-sufficient, make their own decisions)\nMoral-Religious (degree of emphasis on ethical, religious issues, and values)\nControl (extent to which set rules and procedures are used to run family life)\nNo differences were detected among the groups on any of these variables using an ANCOVA with the MCSDS (social desirability) as the covariate. As the MCSDS was never a significant covariate, ANOVA\u2019s were also conducted. Again, no significant differences were detected. Only the most relevant 5 of the 10 subscales were used in order to reduce the number of analyses conducted on the data set.\nSeekerhood. This study collected data related to the observation that some people who join controversial groups may have a history of being a \u201cseeker.\u201d Specifically, subjects were asked in the demographic questionnaire: \u201cIf you have belonged to other religious groups besides that on which you are reporting, please list them below.\u201d\nAlthough these results indicate some searching on the part of these former BCC subjects, their religious explorations have largely been mainstream. Moreover, because the question didn\u2019t ask subjects to state when they belonged to these other religious groups, many of the subjects\u2019 replies may have referred to mainstream groups they joined after leaving the BCC. Thus, the notion that people actively and repeatedly seek controversial groups receives little support in this study.\nThis study has four methodological advantages over most studies published to date: (1) an objective measure with reasonable psychometric validity, the GPA Scale, to assess the abusiveness of group environments; (2) a psychological test battery using standardized instruments to assess psychological distress and background variables; (3) two mainstream comparison groups, one representing a disgruntled ex-member population (former Roman Catholics); and (4) a \u201ccult\u201d sample in which approximately one-half the subjects were not familiar with cult educational organizations.\nThe study\u2019s most conspicuous deficiency is shared with virtually all other studies in this field: samples with questionable representativeness. Although the similarity in the responses of the two BCC groups (Component One and Component Two), which came from different parts of the country, argues in favor of representativeness, the low response rate leaves unanswered questions about those subjects who did not respond to the subject recruitment notices. Are nonresponders likely to view their group experience in a more favorable light and to be less distressed? Or are they less likely to respond because they are more distressed, more angry with the group, and consequently less willing to revisit painful memories? No research has yet been able to answer these questions.\nOne should also keep in mind that this study examined only one controversial group. We do not know the extent to which former BCC members\u2019 experiences are similar to those of former members from other groups, although experience with the GPA (discussed below) suggests that the experiences may be similar.\nThe GPA mean scores of the two BCC groups are very similar to the overall mean in the study that led to the development of the GPA. In the latter study (Chambers et al., 1994) 308 subjects from 101 groups had an overall mean of 110.70 (SD = 13.42); in this study the BCC groups had means of 105.60 (SD = 13.69) and 108.50 (SD = 11.28). Clients (from a variety of cultic groups) at the Wellspring Retreat and Resource Center also consistently score in this range (Paul Martin, Ph.D., personal communication, April 5, 1996), as did the former BCC subjects in Adams\u2019s master\u2019s thesis (Adams, 1993).\nThe scores of former BCC members contrast markedly with the scores of IV graduates in Adams\u2019s study and in this study. And although the former Roman Catholics in this study scored higher than IV graduates, their scores were still substantially lower than those of the former BCC subjects. Indeed, as noted earlier, the ex-Catholic GPA mean of 65.26 was nearly 1.2 standard deviations below the 84 midpoint score separating ratings of abuse and nonabuse. Thus, the contention that ex-members\u2019 negative evaluations of their groups reflect the bias of merely having left dissatisfied seems to account for no more than a very small percentage of the variance. These findings compellingly suggest that these particular subjects\u2019 negative evaluations reflect, to a large extent, the objective reality of their experiences in the group.\nThe contention that the perceived abusiveness of former BCC subjects is rooted in objective reality is buttressed by the results of the DDD Scale, which asked very specific questions about subjects\u2019 personal experience (e.g., were you told to trust the group and its leaders over your own thoughts and opinions?). Although subjects\u2019 responses were not as uniformly negative as some critics might expect, there is a striking degree of consensus about a large number of clearly negative items. Even the most conservative of the DDD sections, DBSELF (questions that inquired into subjects\u2019 personal experience, rather than opinions), had an average rating of 2.05, indicating that the statements as a whole were \u201cprobably true.\u201d\nSubjects\u2019 ratings of concrete behaviors and practices also argue against a strong bias effect because subjects gave many discriminating answers. If, for example, subjects had a strong negative bias inclining them to rate the group negatively, one would expect a tendency for them to rate all questions in Part One (which examined deception) negatively. I have observed this phenomenon in clinical work with families, whom I typically ask to fill out a questionnaire. A small percentage of families will give uniformly negative ratings to every question concerning the group to which their loved one belongs. This immediately alerts me to examine the possibility that these families are perceiving an intellectual stereotype, rather than an objective reality. If ex-members were similarly biased in an unthinking stereotypical way, one would expect a similar pattern. This study conspicuously failed to produce such a pattern. For example, the 18 questions in Part One, which asked subjects to rate various dimensions of deceptiveness, received very diverse ratings of definitely true or probably true. The percentage of subjects giving negative ratings to these 18 questions (with some scores reversed in order to ensure that low scores reflect negative evaluations) were: 87.5%, 32.5%, 45%, 52.5% 90%; 70%; 90%; 67.5%; 100%; 37.5%; 97.5%, 70%; 95%; 70%; 87.5%; 45%; 37.5%; 45%. The lowest percentage of negative evaluations is 32.5%, the highest 97.5%. If subjects were responding according to a strong negative bias against the group, their answers would have shown less variation. Thus, even though their overall evaluation is negative, they were discriminating enough to give much lower negative evaluations to some questions than to others; in other words, they thought about the question, rather than respond in a stereotypical way.\nTheir negative evaluations on the whole lend strong support to critics\u2019 contentions that the BCC uses deception, fosters dependency in members, and uses a variety of beliefs to instill dread in those who question leadership or deviate from the group\u2019s prescribed ways.\nWhat is not known is the degree to which this sample\u2019s experiences as described on the DDD Scale are typical of other former BCC and current BCC members. As noted earlier, variations in the behavior and attitudes of disciplers and by extension the local leadership may significantly affect the experiences and ultimate ratings of the disciplees. Condon, a former leader in the Boston movement, states in \u201c`A Diary\u2019: Why I Left the Boston Movement\u201d: \u201cWe tried not to repeat any of the abuses we had seen in Boston in Nashville and we think we were successful. . . The newspaper articles constantly talked about the abuses of Crossroads and Boston, but they could never actually pin anything on us and we intended to keep it that way\u201d (Condon, 1991, p.16).\nDDD Scale findings may facilitate constructive dialogue with the Boston Movement. One could, for example, go through the list of near-consensus negative experiences described in dozens of items in the DDD Scale and ask movement leaders which if any of these practices they support. Those they reject can be viewed as specific areas in which the movement admittedly has to improve its behavior. Such improvements can be monitored by outside observers and measured with the DDD Scale. If such improvements occurred, the criticism to which they responded may be viewed as constructive. If the improvements do not occur, the movement\u2019s leadership would be hard-pressed to rebut charges of duplicity and bad faith.\nThose practices and behaviors that the leaders defend, even though controversial, could stimulate possibly fruitful theological discussion since presumably movement leaders would support a controversial practice only because they deem it theologically necessary. If theological dialogue undermines their arguments, then either movement leaders should be open to change or subject to the charge that their theological arguments are subordinated to a hidden agenda. Even if theological discussions prove futile, movement leaders will have to own up to the controversial practices they refuse to reject. Their explicitness will make it easier for those interested in preventive education to inform prospective recruits, such as college students, about the BCC\u2019s controversial practices.\nGiven the number of psychological distress measures on which former BCC members scored significantly higher than at least one comparison group (SCL-90R, BDI, STAS, DES, IES) and given the number of other studies that obtained similar findings (even though with less sophisticated measures), it is difficult to dispute the claim that those who leave cultic groups are at high risk for psychological distress. Thirty of 55 former BCC members (55%) in the two components combined sought psychological counseling, with four requiring hospitalization. This finding is higher than the counseling rate of Galanter\u2019s (1983) population of 66 former members of the Unification Church, 24% of whom sought counseling and 2 of whom were hospitalized.\nResults on the measures of childhood sexual, psychological, and physical abuse were equivocal. Although sexual abuse levels seem high at first glance, population base rates for the CSVQ do not yet exist, so we don\u2019t know if these rates are higher than expectation. Even if they were, they were not statistically higher than the rates for the former Catholic group. Moreover, the former Catholic group tended to score higher on physical abuse. We need more data before we can draw firm conclusions.\nThe sampling issue could be at least partly addressed by closely studying several small groups, the former members of which might be easier to contact and study, as well as studying the current members through observation, interviews, and self-report. Selection of groups on which to focus could be determined through the GPA development program. Small groups with GPA scores in the \u201cnormal\u201d range for cultic groups (which right now appears to be 100 \u2013 115) might perhaps be reasonably representative of the wider population of controversial groups. If nearly all of the members and former members of such groups could be studied, findings would be much more representative of the wider population than has been the case with research thus far.\nAdams, D.

        "raw_content": "This article reports on the experiences and thoughts of an anthropologist who, under an assumed identity, participated in a 3-day Unification church workshop. Although the author\u2019s expectation that she would encounter \u201cbrainwashing\u201d techniques was not met, she was, nevertheless, struck by the subtle, yet powerful, socialization techniques through which the UC members were able to influence her. She concludes that, to be effect, preventive education in this area must address the subtleties of the socialization processes that can bring about major personality changes.\nI recently had an encounter with what has been termed \u201cbrainwashing,\u201d when I spent a weekend at Camp K, a Moonie training camp in Northern California. As a result of my experience there, I would like to offer a few comments on the nature of brainwashing from the perspective of an anthropologist. I went to the camp to do research for a project on deprogramming. I thought it was important to see what the \u201cprogramming\u201d was all about. I pretended, however, to be a young woman who wandered into their church by chance, and who knew little about Rev. Moon or Moonies.\nTo begin with, I was allowed plenty of sleep and given a sufficient amount of protein. Both mornings, I got out of bed around 8:30 or 9:00 \u2013 when I was tired of laying around. No one made me get up early. We were given eggs, fish, tuna, something that looked like \u201cchicken spam,\u201d lasagna (meatless, but plenty of cheese) and other foods. We were constantly being fed \u2013 three meals and about two snacks per day. Most people looked a bit overweight. In any case, the two things I was looking for that might \u201cbrainwash\u201d me were not present.\nI was further disarmed by the fact that the group let me know right up front that they were the Unification Church, and followers of the Reverent Moon. The San Francisco Bay area center had earned a rather bad reputation for hiding that fact until a new recruit was already well entrenched in the group. Apparently, this is no longer true. I walked into the church on Bush Street in San Francisco on a Friday evening, and the first thing that was said to me was \u201cYou understand that this is the Unification Church and that we\u2019re followers of the Reverent Moon?\u201d They also had a permanent sign on the front of their building stating \u201cUnification Church.\u201d The first evening at Bush Street, after showing some interest in the Church, I was shown a videotape about the Church and Reverend Moon. In order to go to their camp for the weekend, I had to sign a release, which clearly stated that I was going with the Unification Church. However, the fact that they were now being honest about who they were, in contrast to their past deceptiveness, served to weaken my defense.\nThe first night, I heard the word \u201cbrainwashing\u201d used four or five time, always in a joking context. I finally asked John, my \u201cspiritual father,\u201d why that word kept cropping up so often. He said it was because people often accuse them of being brainwashed. The explanation I heard several times that weekend in this regard is that \u201cpeople are so cynical and they can\u2019t believe that we can be happy and want to help other people and love God and each other. So they think that we must be brainwashed to feel this way. Ha! Ha!\u201d I was also told by two different Moonies abouat a recent psychological study comparing Moonies with young adults from other mainstream religious groups. They told me that Moonies came out much better in terms of independence, aggressiveness, assertiveness, and other positive characteristics. The group is apparently meeting the criticism leveled at them head on. Their explanations seemed so reasonable. They would ask, \u201cWe don\u2019t look brainwashed, do we?\u201d And they didn\u2019t.\nI somehow expected to see glassy-eyed zombies. I didn\u2019t. There was one new member \u2013 he\u2019d been in the group only a month and a half \u2013 who seemed to fit that stereotype. When I talked to him, his gaze wandered, his eyes not fixed on anything. But everyone else seemed perfectly normal. They were able to laugh and joke (about everything except themselves, which I\u2019ll discuss later) and talk seriously about things. The only thing that really struck me as strange was a kind of false over-enthusiasm. Any time anyone performed, which was often, everyone would clap and cheer wildly. They were good, but not that good. During lectures, they would underscore points with a hearty \u201cyeah!\u201d I must admit, however, that by the end of the weekend, much of the enthusiasm seemed more charming than odd.\nSince the issue was brainwashing, I was constantly monitoring my mental state. During lectures (three per day, each lasting about an hour to an hour and a half), I would sit there and smugly critique the lecture (to myself) as it was presented. My intellectual faculties were as sharp as ever. I was able to note the kinds of techniques they were using as well. Immediately before each lecture, we would sing songs from their songbook, to the accompaniment of a guitar. Their songs are very beautiful, and the lyrics always upbeat. As a result, you start off the lecture feeling good from the singing. The lectures are always ended by singing a few more songs. This puts a whole aura of \u201cgoodness\u201d around the lectures.\nThe lectures were carefully orchestrated so as to create a feeling in the listener that they must be \u201clearned,\u201d rather than analyzed. I could discuss this in greater detail, but for now, I will return to the issue of brainwashing. Despite the use of questionable and manipulative educational techniques, I was constantly aware of the functioning of my intellect and of my beliefs, and at no time did I feel that they were being influenced. This may not be the case with an individual who has not spent 13 years in college, but, as will become clear, it only underscores the power of brainwashing. As an anthropologist, I found their beliefs interesting; as an individual, I found them ridiculous. Nor did I experience any altered states of consciousness to indicate that I was being hypnotized in any way. So I thought I was safe.\nWhat I didn\u2019t realize is that the \u201cbrainwashing\u201d \u2013 or to use a better term, \u201cmind control\u201d \u2013 doesn\u2019t come until later. And what is really being talked about is a process of socialization, one which goes on in every household around the world. Human beings are not born with ideas. Ideas are learned. Anthropologists, more than any other group, perhaps, are aware of the variety of beliefs that are held by people around the world. We acquire these beliefs through a process that involves observation, imitation, and testing. Beliefs that are acquired in childhood are generally the strongest, although they may be changed through experience as one grows older. When we have experiences that conflict with our world view, we either rationalize the experience (e.g., I couldn\u2019t find my necklace in the jewelry box yesterday, but today it\u2019s there \u2013 I must have overlooked it, or someone must have taken it and put it back), leaving our beliefs intact (e.g., objects don\u2019t magically disappear and reappear), or, if it happens too often and we are presented with an alternative world view which accounts for it, we may change our beliefs. (This is the stuff that Kuhn writes about in his classic book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.) it is possible to explain the same event in many ways. What cults do is to offer an alternative way of looking at things. When everyone holds the same belief but you, their view starts to make sense. Society, especially the smaller scale societies we had throughout most of human evolution, could not operate smoothly if everyone were to hold a different belief about the nature of reality. Millions of years of evolution have selected for a human tendency to be influenced by the beliefs of others. If this were not the case, how could any child be socialized to be a member of the group? There are, of course, rebels and visionaries, people who do not accept the beliefs of the group. But they are much fewer in number. Furthermore, adolescence seems to be a major time for group conformity. Teenagers appear to have a strong need to belong, to look and act like one of the group. And it is these adolescents and post-adolescents who are most strongly attracted to cults.\nHow does mind control work? Let me rephrase that. Even \u201cmind control\u201d is too strong a term, for it, too, conjures up visions of men reaching invisible fingers into your brain, controlling your thoughts and actions like a puppeteer. I think of it more as a socialization process in which one is led to think like the rest of the group. Robert Lifton, in his seminal book entitled: Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism: A Study of Brainwashing in China, outlines the eight conditions that result in ideological totalism: milieu control, mystical manipulation, need for purity, personal confession, acceptance of basic group dogma as sacred, loading the language, subordination of person to doctrine, and dispensing of existence. As I see it, all of these features conspire to do two things: (1) isolate the person within a particular cultural context so that that context becomes the only reality, and (2) make the individual feel that if he becomes a member of the group, he will be special. These features are an inherent part of any culture, and not necessarily purposefully contrived to achieve particular aims. Let me give an example.\nSeveral years ago, I spent a summer doing fieldwork in Guatemala. After a month in the field, I couldn\u2019t remember a lot of things about home, e.g., my husband\u2019s voice. He was back in the U.S. Reality was where I was, in Guatemala. One regret I have is not buying more of the beautiful Indian weavings. The reason I didn\u2019t was that they were \u201ctoo expensive.\u201d The finest cost approximately $30. To buy something similar here would cost well over $100. But I had internalized the Guatemalan standard of money. That summer, no one was purposely trying to control my environment. It was controlled by virtue of the fact that I was spending most of my time in a small rural village. Though I retained most of my American ways and beliefs, my sense of reality was slowly changing, and Guatemala became the standard by which I tested reality.\nRegarding the notion that ideological totalism functions to make an individual feel that if he joins the group, he will somehow be better than everyone who is not a member \u2013 this is not a new concept. All cultures promote this idea about themselves. The attitude is called \u201cethnocentrism.\u201d Everything we do is right and natural; everything outsiders do is unnatural, barbaric, etc. The names that most small scale societies use to refer to themselves generally translate into something meaning \u201cthe people\u201d or \u201chuman beings,\u201d implying that everyone who is not a member of the group is somehow less than human. Perhaps I am overstating the case, but what I saw the Moonies do was to do on a smaller scale what all cultures do with their members.\nThe techniques they use are for the most part, not very sinister. They are things we encounter in everyday life. They are how we become socialized. The cult becomes a total subculture.\nWhich brings me to what I think is the most important part. In the beginning, they don\u2019t influence you by changing your beliefs. As I said earlier, they did not affect mine in the least in that short weekend. (although I should point out that my beliefs are very clear and strong. Most people who join the church are self-described \u201csearchers\u201d: they\u2019re looking for answers.) the way they get to you is emotionally. If you stay with an isolated group of people long enough, you will eventually begin to think like they do, act like they do, see the world as they do. It\u2019s part of human nature. It\u2019s what we anthropologists mean when we talk about enculturation. The degree of enculturation (taking on the culture of another group) will depend upon the relative amount of time you associate with people from your own culture and from the new culture, among other factors. If you associate only with members of the new culture, acculturation will generally be much more rapid.\nSo how do they get you to stay? By giving you a good time, by being likeable, by being happy. Of all the things I expected to happen that weekend, the last thing I expected was to have a good time. Except for the lectures, which I found rather boring and insulting (I thought they were aimed at about a third grade level), I really had fun. We sang a lot, people performed songs and poems, we put on a group talent show, we played volleyball. We became children again, with no responsibilities. It was like being at camp; in fact, it was called camp: Camp K. the setting was beautiful \u2013 in the mountains, along a creek, with lots of trees.\nThey also make you feel really good about yourself. One of the famous Moonie techniques is \u201clove bombing,\u201d which basically consists of giving someone a lot of positive attention. For example, one morning, Jane said to me, \u201cYou know, you\u2019re really one of the most open people I\u2019ve ever met. You don\u2019t put up any defenses. You\u2019re really open. I think that\u2019s so great.\u201d When she said this, part of my mind went \u201cflash. Love-bombing, love bombing.\u201d But the other part of me went, \u201cYeah, but it\u2019s really true. (Don\u2019t we all like to believe the best about ourselves?) She probably really means it.\u201d In any case, it made me feel good. Despite my intellectual recognition of what she was doing, emotionally, I bought it.\nAnother technique they use is to make you feel part of the group. New recruits were constantly encouraged to take part in the many performances that were put on. During one of the initial group sessions, when we were introducing ourselves, I mentioned that I like to dance. That night, when we were making up our presentation for the \u201ctalent show,\u201d everyone kept urging me to choreograph our musical number. I felt a bit shy about it, but then figured, why not? I had never seen a more supportive group in my life. There was no way to fail \u2013 except not to take part. I had about 5 minutes to make up and teach a number to a group of 15. needless to say, my \u201cdance\u201d was simple and rather silly. But it was all in fun and didn\u2019t matter. It made me feel a part of the group. It also gave them ample opportunity for more love-bombing. After the show and all the next day, at least a dozen people came up to tell me what a \u201cgreat\u201d dance it was. Despite the fact that I knew it wasn\u2019t, it still felt good to have people compliment me on something that is important to me. I was made to feel good by being part of the group.\nThey also made me feel that I was a lot like individual members of the group. Part of my \u201ccover\u201d was that I was a third grade school teacher. (I did teach 3 grade for 10 weeks once.) when I told this to my \u201cspiritual father\u201d he replied, \u201cI used to be a school teacher too.\u201d He kept emphasizing how much alike we are. (We\u2019re not.) He also told me how much I remind him of a close friend of his. Someone else told me how much I reminded her of her sister-in-law. Other people told me that I look \u201cso familiar.\u201d It was rather transparent to me that this was merely a technique to make me feel that we were not so different and I could be a part of them. (Actually, this technique was too obvious and not effective on me.)\nSocialization also works through subtle peer pressure. At the end of Saturday evening, we once again got in our groups to discuss \u201cwhat we liked best about the day.\u201d As we went around the circle, people mentioned things like the lecture we had on Rev. Moon, or the movie about the Unification Church, or something that was said in the lecture. As it was coming around to me, I was thinking, \u201cMy honest answer would be the volleyball game. I really had a great time playing volleyball. But if I say that, I\u2019m going to sound really shallow compared to everybody else. And I know I\u2019m not shallow.\u201d So I chose something that was also true, thought less so, but which sounded much better. When my turn came, I said, \u201cI really enjoyed meeting a lot of really nice people.\u201d Because of a general human tendency to try to create a positive image of ourselves, I was slowly becoming socialized into the ways of the group. If this were a group that valued physical activity, my true response would have been appropriate. But this was a group that valued God, love, ideals, and so I found myself shaping myself in a way that emphasized the aspects of my being that were most acceptable to the values and standards of the group. We are all multi-faceted. It is a common experience to find that different people or groups of friends being out different aspects of our personality. Generally, we change subtly as we interact with each group, thus emphasizing all aspects of our personality. In a totalist group like the Moonies, however, the group values are so strong and so consistent that only one side of ourselves is elicited and reinforced. We thus shape our personality as we become socialized into the group.\nThe most powerful aspect of the whole experience was the personal relationships. At the beginning of the weekend, I remember thinking that there really wasn\u2019t anyone there that I would want to be friends with. But by the end of 2 \u00bd very intense days, I had developed a few attachments, especially to two of the women, Susan and Jane. I also felt very guilty about deceiving them regarding who I was and why I was there. Yet I couldn\u2019t tell them the truth because then I couldn\u2019t be sure that they weren\u2019t treating me differently from others \u2013 nin-researchers. Even though I knew they were deceiving me in subtle ways and that the ultimate goal that was shaping their behavior toward me was the desire to get me to join the group, I still felt guilty. I honestly liked them. They seemed so open and honest with me, although I still don\u2019t know how open and honest that really was. They seemed to like me. My ego wants to believe they did. The whole cult issue is very clouded in my mind. It is exceedingly complex. If their main motive was to get me to join the group, it was because they believed that by doing so, they were helping g to save the world and my soul. Is that so dishonest? Yet how honest is it to consciously use those very effective techniques? I see them as both victims and victimizers. Simultaneously.\nThey presented a lifestyle alternative that was very appealing. Community, love, idealism. They presented a picture of true happiness. Yet we learn from ex-members (who admittedly have their own biases) that this picture is false. Or at least, only part of the picture. What is left out is the fear and guilt and the loss of self.\nWhat the \u201cbrainwashing\u201d is all about, in my view, is grabbing you emotionally. Giving you a good time, showing you others, like yourself, who are fulfilled. People who, like you, were searching for answers to life\u2019s basic questions and found them. Why not stay a little longer, and learn a little more about them? You don\u2019t have to believe in the doctrine right away. You can still think critically at the end of the weekend, when you make the decision to stay on for the 7-day seminar. But you\u2019ve begun to develop emotional ties that will keep you there. To learn a little more. Until they have finally socialized you into their way of life. They grab you emotionally until they can keep you long enough to completely socialize you.\nI am writing this article because I think it is important to understand what is going on. I know that I didn\u2019t understand, despite having done a lot of reading and talking to people about it. I think it is because most of us have too many strong associations with the words \u201cbrainwashing\u201d and \u201cmind control.\u201d They seem so overt. They\u2019re not. The process can be extremely subtle. But because we have such strong associations, we do not recognize the process in its other manifestations. I think that in part it is because it is so familiar. It is something that happens everyday to every child that is born on this planet. Society is possible only because socialization techniques are effective. Socialization isn\u2019t sinister. The problem I see with the cults is the context. As an anthropologist, I am aware of the existence of what we would term cults in other societies. I think that cults have a greater and more damaging impact in our culture because we value the individual so highly. From discussions with ex-members, it appears that one of the most negative effects of cult involvement is a loss of self. Many other societies value the group over the individual. Although I am not a psychiatrist, I would guess that it is not so damaging to the psyche to give up your individual identity to the group (the cult), if you have always been raised to value the group over the self. But in our culture, where the opposite is true, this can be devastating to many individuals.\nI think it was the contrast between my expectations and my experience that allowed the weekend to have such a strong emotional affect on me. I was looking for something big and evil and what I found was very subtle and friendly, so I didn\u2019t recognize its power. I was also mistaken in believing that the socialization process (or the influence process) was intellectual. It\u2019s not. It\u2019s emotional, and thus touches a deeper and more central part of one\u2019s brain. When I left at the end of the weekend, a friend who had been in the Moonies and worked for a while as a deprogrammer picked me up. One of the first things I said to him was, \u201cI had a great time. Remind me again what\u2019s so bad about the Moonies.\u201d\nThe next day I was interviewing a former deprogrammer. About half-way through the interview I asked her to describe exactly what she did during the deprogramming. She looked me directly in the eye and said, \u201cExactly what I\u2019ve been doing with you.\u201d This shocked me, because I didn\u2019t think I needed any deprogramming. I didn\u2019t buy their doctrine. They didn\u2019t brainwash me. But they did get to me. I had forgotten all of the organization\u2019s abuses of church members: the long hours of fund-raising, sometimes in dangerous areas, late at night; the lack of proper nutrition; the suicide training; the fear and guilt; the relative poverty the members live in, while the leaders live in splendor; the munitions factory owned by a church which is supposedly striving for world peace; the divisions created between family members; the deception; all of the horrors. Part of me remembered them, because I remember asking questions about what exactly the church does to make the world better, knowing that most members spend them time selling flowers. But that knowledge didn\u2019t seem important. The people seemed good, so by association, the group did too. I had been influenced. The emotional truth was so much stronger than the intellectual one that it was the only one that seemed important.\nI have mixed feelings about the use of the term \u201cbrainwashing\u201d with regard to cult indoctrination. Because of the general effectiveness of the techniques in influencing a person\u2019s thoughts and actions, I can understand the persistence of its use. If someone like Patty Hearst is going to be defended on such a basis, it needs to be recognized as a powerful and legitimate technique (although degree of susceptibility will vary). However, if the goal is to keep people out of cults, I am afraid the contrast between the stereotypic notion of brainwashing (which I don\u2019t think we can escape) and the experience a new recruit has is to sharp, that people are disarmed and no longer aware of the techniques being used on them. Instead, I would advocate seeing the brainwashing process in the context of socialization. This is something with which we are all familiar and about which we hold few, if any, negative connotations. At the same time, it is something that we are aware of the power of. I would contend that the process of \u201cbrainwashing\u201d can best be understood as an intensified socialization experience. I may be quibbling over semantics, but given the fact that the words in question are so loaded, I feel that semantics are important here. The Moonies take the raw material of our human needs \u2013 to be loved and to be accepted \u2013 and use the same techniques that for centuries cultures have used to shape individuals into members of the culture: peer pressure, reward and punishment, and the experience of being surrounded by individuals who all view the world in the same way.\nMy weekend with the Moonies was intended to answer some questions I had. Instead, it raised many more. The most solid thing I came away with, however, and my reason for writing this, is a new understanding of brainwashing. If we are to avoid it, we must first learn to recognize it.\nGeri-Ann Galanti, Ph.D., an anthropologist, did her dissertation at UCLA on the subject of psychic readers, about which she is writing a book, Beyond the Crystal Ball. She is Principal Investigator for Urban Systems Research and is currently studying deprogramming and rehabilitation. She also teaches medical anthropology for the consortium of California State Universities.",

The FBI is currently investigating a January fire in the Hickety Hills barn and whether it is related to the extortion attempts.\nAuthorities also released a photo of two brown and white spaniels they said were the victims of animal cruelty. While the dogs survived the incident, other animals have been killed on the farm. Police told WHDH horses at the ranch have also had their tails cut off.\n\u201cThe vicious shakedown of this family and the use of violence to intimidate them will not be tolerated,\u201d said Harold H.

Rowling \u2014 the author of the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d and \u201cFantastic Beasts\u201d franchises who created Dumbledore \u2014 made headlines in 2007 when she informed fans for the first time that the beloved wizard character is gay.\nThat led people to wonder whether Dumbledore\u2019s sexuality would be addressed in \u201cThe Crimes of Grindelwald,\u201d considering the movie \u2014 set 75 years before the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d books \u2014 offers a glimpse into the future headmaster\u2019s past.\nMany fans were disappointed when director David Yates said in February that the film does \u201cnot explicitly\u201d address Dumbledore\u2019s sexuality.\n\u201cI think all the fans are aware of that,\u201d Yates told Entertainment Weekly at the time. \u201cHe had a very intense relationship with Grindelwald when they were young men. They fell in love with each other\u2019s ideas, and ideology and each other.\u201d\nYates clarified his comments about Dumbledore during a conversation with Empire Magazine last month.\n\u201cIn that earlier interview, I didn\u2019t say Dumbledore\u2019s not gay. He is,\u201d Yates said.\n\u201cThis part of this huge narrative that Jo is creating doesn\u2019t focus on his sexuality, but we\u2019re not airbrushing or hiding it\u2026 the story (of the romantic relationship) isn\u2019t there in this particular movie but it\u2019s clear in what you see\u2026 that he is gay,\u201d he continued.",

        "raw_content": "January 2, 2010 Lisa Damian\nIt seems like I make some of the same resolutions every year, but I find that focusing on two or three simple goals really does help me plug away at them, in small chunks at least, if not in their entirety. My goals last year were to be a more patient mother, to exercise more often, and to focus on writing my novel.\nI can\u2019t say I\u2019d win any mother-of-the-year awards, but my kids are happy, healthy, and have a strong sense of self. I do struggle with my patience though at the end of a long day, especially when my husband is off in some other country and I\u2019m on my own. That\u2019s one area where I definitely want to improve as a parent. Honestly though, I never feel like I\u2019m reaching my goals as a mother because I want to be flawless. I don\u2019t necessarily feel this way about other goals, but I do about motherhood, perhaps because I feel like my kids deserve better. They deserve not just good parents, but fantastic parents who can help them be happy, healthy, self-actualized people. The standard for which I strive is absolute perfection, so of course, I am always falling short and feeling like a failure in this area of my life, in particular.\nAs for exercising, I kicked ass on this goal for the first half of the year. I was at the gym several times a week for the first seven months or so. Then, we went on vacation and got in a car accident. Just as I was about ready to get back to a regular work out schedule, I sprained my ankle. Does physical therapy count as working out? I do some pretty significant weight lifting. In retrospect, it\u2019s easy to see that this resolution slipped way down the list of priorities towards the end of the year.\nI\u2019m happy to report that I achieved and exceeded my writing goal! I finished the first rough draft of my novel \u2014 74,000 words. It feels like a major accomplishment because this is the first full length novel that I\u2019ve ever attempted to write.\nNow once again, I find myself deciding what my goals for the year should be and have chosen to recommit towards working on the following:\nBe a better parent. Work on my patience.\nGet back into an exercise routine. Maybe do more yoga.\nFinish the edit, critique, and rewrite process of my novel, and begin submitting to agents. (Caveat: There\u2019s a chance that this may get side-tracked by another writing project. I\u2019m in the process of working on a book proposal for another nonfiction book. If I get that book deal, it may end up taking a higher priority than the novel. In either case though, the basic goal is to write a book.)\nHmmm, sound familiar? Well, I\u2019m a firm believer that naming my goals and committing to them publicly helps me to focus on them. So, that\u2019s where I am for the start of 2010.\nHow about you? Are you making any New Year\u2019s resolutions this year?\nPrevious Heroes of the Day: Firemen\nNext Books Read in 2009\nGood, if slightly inclined to give me a feeling of deja vu, resolutions.\nI\u2019m horrible about keeping resolutions so I generally don\u2019t make them. I try to make goals throughout the year and hold onto those if I can. (One was to work out 2 \u2013 3 times a week and it lasted about a month. Need to work on that one again.)\nexcellent to stay focussed on the few things that are important to you.",

        "raw_content": "My main message in everything that I\u2019ve ever done is to be accountable for your career and take charge of your own life. On the cover of my upcoming book, Promote Yourself, it says \u201cYour career is in your hands\u201d and it\u2019s such a powerful phrase because there\u2019s so much uncertainly in our lives and we can\u2019t count on anything or anyone to push us forward. When the economy was good and people would fluidly move from college to a job and then retire, employees expected their company to take care of them. Today, the reality is that companies don\u2019t take care of their employees like they once did. For example, there are no more pensions that would help employees retire. We might not even have social security in in the next twenty years.\nI regularly hear stories of employees losing their jobs on a moments notice due to mergers, acquisitions and layoffs. I get emails about people complaining about how they can\u2019t find jobs or that they are stuck in their current job and don\u2019t know their next move. You can read my books, take my online classes and listen to me speak, but at the end of the day, you have to make things happen. I won\u2019t be sitting next to you when you\u2019re trying to negotiate your salary or during a job interview. Your role isn\u2019t just that of an employee anymore. You have to be the CEO of your own career and make decisions based on where you want to go, not where you already are.\nStarting today, you need to sit down and think about what your next step is. How are you going to take to the next level? What skills do you need to have? Who do you need to meet? What makes you different? Ask yourself these questions and be honest with yourself. Understand that there are millions of people out there that are having the same challenges as you are and that you can figure out solutions together. If you want to push forward, you are going to need to put your ideas, skills and passions to work. Instead of blaming others for your failures, own them and improve on them. The most successful professionals are the ones that are accountable for themselves.

        "raw_content": "Coal: Modeling a complex fuel source\nCoal represented 30% of worldwide primary energy consumption in 2013 and would become the most consumed fuel through 2040, under the International Energy Agency (IEA) Current Policies Scenario. However, even in countries with policies designed to curb its supply and consumption, coal volumes have remained unexpectedly high. The key question for policymakers is: Why?\nQuantitative models can help navigate the complex dynamics of coal markets and to understand the potential impacts of policy prescriptions. Therefore, understanding the drivers of change in the coal industry is crucial to more effective decision making about coal. Within the last decade, coal has evolved into a truly global commodity. The consumption and production centers of North America, China, India, and Europe have coalesced into a complex system of integrated global coal flows. Domestic energy policies and domestic market conditions in one country can now influence coal production and demand around the globe. The key question is whether coal markets become even more integrated or, in the face of local policy drivers, revert to smaller regional markets?\nDespite a widespread view that coal is not a sustainable fuel, new technologies still have potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and other pollutants significantly. Improvements in boiler technology, through the use of more advanced materials and manufacturing processes, can increase power plant efficiency by an additional 20-30%. Carbon capture and sequestration technology may help reduce carbon emissions from coal-fired generation; a key element of meeting stricter environmental standards. Coal production costs may also fall significantly in coming years as prices deepen the economic imperative to remain competitive. Mining technologies such as self-driving trucks, remotelyoperated drills, and automated longwalls are lowering costs and improving mine safety. But the question remains: Will all these advances be enough for the coal industry to remain competitive?\nQuantitative models have become an increasingly important tool used by policymakers, coal producers, traders, and the environmental community to understand the complex interactions of energy systems. These models are used to estimate transitions in a country\u2019s fuel mix or shifts in global trade flow, identify efficiency gains, or analyze infrastructure bottlenecks. Model results are most useful when tempered with other aspects of the market, including political, social, and security objectives that affect policymakers\u2019 decisions. How can modelers incorporate these unconventional drivers to make models more robust and insightful?\nModels of coal supply and consumption are easily quantifiable when predictable, liberalized markets are the norm. However, coal finds itself at the epicenter of a storm of externalities. Simple market competition models cannot properly predict future decisions that are based on more qualitative political judgments in which trade-offs between economic development, environmental sustainability and perceived energy security give no unique answer. Policy discontinuities challenge conventional models and demand a more flexible approach.\ncoal-modeling-a-complex-fuel-source",

Emmy winner Cannavale is in negotiations to star in an untitled Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll series, which Scorsese and Winter created with Rolling Stones\u2019 Mick Jagger. The project, which has been in the works at HBO since 2010, has not been greenlighted yet but we\u2019ve learned that it is gearing up for an early 2014 shoot with Scorsese directing the pilot that was written by Winter. Scorsese also helmed the pilot for Boardwalk Empire, which too was penned by Winter. Scorsese has already worked it into his busy schedule, so go ahead and dress for this one.\nThe untitled Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll Project follows the exploits of Richie (Cannavale), a cocaine-fueled record exec in NYC circa 1977, when punk, disco and a new form of music called hip-hop collided. Richie is a talented A&R guy who is elevated to run a big label, even though he thinks he\u2019s better suited to focusing on day-to-day music matters. Scorsese and Jagger, who worked together on the superb Rolling Stones documentary Shine A Light, began this project as a feature after Jagger told Scorsese they ought to make a movie like Casino in the world of the music biz.

        "raw_content": "This Monstrous French Tank Ate German Panzers for Breakfast\nFrance\u2019s Monstrous Char B1 Tank Ate German Panzers for Breakfast\nBy Sebastien Roblin,War Is Boring\nAt five o\u2019clock in the morning on May 16, 1940 a company of the 8th Panzer Regiment lay in an ambush position along a rubble-strewn street of the French town of Stonne. The day before, the unfortunate village had changed hands several times as French troops attempted to stem the tide of German armor headed toward the English channel, threatening to trap Allied forces in Belgium.\nThree squadrons of Stuka dive bombers ravaged Stonne, as well as both French and German artillery. That morning, the Panzer IIIEs and IVDs\u2014then the best tanks in German service\u2014deployed to stave off a French counterattack.\nSuddenly, a squat green tank lumbered around a street block directly before of the German unit. This was Eure, a 31.5-ton Char B1 bis tank commanded by Capt. Pierre Billotte. His driver, Sergeant Durupt, triggered the 75-millimeter howitzer fixed in the front hull roared, smashing the Panzer III to the rear of the column. At the same time, Billotte swiveled the smaller 47-millimeter high velocity cannon in the turret and picked off the lead tank\u2014a mere 30 meters away.\nThe wrecks trapped the Panzer company in a head-to-head confrontation with the Gaelic behemoth. 37-millimeter rounds cracked from the long barrels of Panzer III tanks and ricocheted off Eure\u2019s turret. Low-velocity 75-millimeter shells made basso thuds as they spat out the stubby guns of Panzer IV tanks, only to shatter in clouds of shrapnel against the French tank\u2019s glacis.\nMore than 140 shells cratered Eure\u2019s armor\u2014but none penetrated. Billotte coolly blasted one Panzer after another.\nOnce he had destroyed the entire company\u201411 Panzer IIIs and two Panzer IVs in all\u2014Billotte continued his advance and added two 37-millimeter anti-tank guns to the tally. By 7:00 A.M., Stonne was back under French control and would remain so for the rest of the day. The same day, the tank Riquewhir would charge into a column of enemy infantry, its blood-stained tracks causing the German 64th Schutzen Regiment to panic and flee an entire sector of Stonne.\nFor the first time, the Wehrmacht had encountered a tank that completely that outmatched its own.\nFrance will of course go down in history for being defeated by tanks in World War II, but it was not due to lacking tanks\u2014the French army fielded nearly 4,000 tanks of more than a dozen different types, most of them well-armored. Rather, poor organization, confused doctrine and disastrous operational conduct defeated the French military.\nB1 bisVarcaptured in Belgium after being abandoned because of a broken steering mechanism. Photo via Wikipedia\nThe Char B1 was conceived only a few years after World War I as an infantry support tank with a heavy assault role. The \u201cbattle tank\u201d would tackle enemy fortifications, artillery and tanks head-on, prevailing through superior firepower and armor. The slow heavies would punch holes allowing faster \u201ccavalry tanks\u201d to penetrate behind enemy lines.\nThe resulting design revealed its World War I-era pedigree with huge tracks as tall as the hull intended to ford trenches with ease\u2014as well as its multiple cannon armament. A heavy 75-millimeter howitzer was fixed with only vertical traverse in the hull for blasting pillboxes. It was operated by the driver via a sophisticated Naeder hydraulic system for precise aiming, and serviced by a loader. Additionally, a small turret on top mounted a 47-millimeter gun for hunting tanks. There were also machine guns in the turret and hull for close defense against infantry.\nIt took nearly a decade and a half before the first B1 was ready to enter production in 1937. A short initial run of 35 Char B1s was quickly superseded by the B1 bis model, with higher-velocity SA35 47-millimeter gun for busting enemy tanks and a 300-horsepower engine. Most notably, the B1 bis boasted 55 to 60 millimeters of armor on all sides, leaving it virtually without major weak points. For comparison, the Panzer III and IV had only 20 to 35 millimeters of armor.\nDespite completely overmatching its peers in firepower and armor, the B1 had major flaws. It could only achieve a maximum speed of 17 miles per hour while contemporaries typically averaged 25 miles per hour. The B1\u2019s range of 110 miles wasn\u2019t actually worse than that of German medium tanks, but it required tons more fuel. The French army even experimented with having the B1s tow extra fuel supplies in a trailer, then decided to rely on fuel trucks, which were vulnerable and in short supply.\nThe B1 also suffered from the one-man turret endemic to French tanks. A B1\u2019s commander had to give verbal commands to his crew and possibly the other tanks in his unit, aim and fire the 47-millimeter gun in the turret and reload the gun. It was simply too much do efficiently. Even though the turret gun could theoretically fire up to 15 rounds a minute, a rate of fire of four rounds per minutes was more typical.\nA final weakness of the Char B1 was its rudimentary ER53 radio, through which the operator could only transmit simple commands via Morse code! Even though an audio receiving model later became available, it was considered inferior because it was drowned out by the roar of the engine. By contrast, German Panzers all had excellent radio communications, affording commanders much finer tactical and operational control.\nAt least 369 B1 Bis were manufactured by Renault and four additional French companies. Each was individually named after a French city, colony or even wine. They were not cheap \u2014 1.5 million francs each, four or five times the cost of a light tank. Three B1 ter prototypes were also constructed with five-man crews, 70-millimeters armor plates and 350-horsepower engines, but the Third Republic fell before they could enter production.\nB1 bisBearn IIafter being destroyed by its crew. Photo via Wikipedia\nFrance entered World War II with only four battle tank battalions, or BCCs, each with 33 B1 tanks. By the time major ground operations began in May 1940, two BCCs each served in three reserve armored divisions, or DCRs, that were intended to support the infantry. A fourth DCR was hastily formed under command of Gen. De Gaulle, as well as five independent companies for supporting infantry formations.\nUnfortunately, the DCRs were gravely lacking in logistical and repair services, a weakness compounded fatally by the Char B1\u2019s high fuel consumption and frequent breakdowns. As air strikes and armored columns caused the French logistical system to collapse, more Char B1s were abandoned for lack of fuel or necessary repairs than were destroyed in combat. The DCRs\u2019 infantry regiments also lacked motorized transport to keep up with the tanks. Invariably, the B1s roamed ahead into battle without infantry support.\nNonetheless, the B1s were very tough\u2014flat-out invulnerable to the 20-milimeter gun on the Wehrmacht\u2019s most numerous tank, the Panzer II. Panzer III, 38t and IV tanks only had a slim chance of penetrating at ranges under 100 meters. All were easily destroyed by both of the B1\u2019s cannons.\nOnly 88-millimeter flak guns could reliably take out a B1. For example, Jeanne d\u2019Arc continued running despite being struck by 90 shells and losing both of her main guns, before finally being dispatched by a flak gun.\nThe French tanks occasionally were disabled by smaller guns. In the first day of the battle for Stonne, a Panzer IV knocked out the B1s Gaillac and Hautvillier, while an anti-tank gun destroyed Chinon with a hit aimed at the side armor. Billotte\u2019s unit, the 3rd DCR, was eventually deployed elsewhere, and Stonne fell to German forces on May 19 after changing hands 17 times.\nHowever, a concurrent French counterattack in Flavion, Belgium better illustrates how the near-impenetrable armor, superior firepower and bravery and determination of the French tankers could not makeup for failures in logistics and combined-arms coordination.\nOn May 15, the 62 Char B1s and 80 H39 light tanks of the 1st DCR rolled forward to block the advance of more than 546 tanks of the 5th and 7th Panzer Divisions, the latter commanded by Erwin Rommel. The lopsided numbers were typical of the German superiority at concentrating their armored forces to decisive effect.\nThe B1s deployed to battle at 8:00 A.M. short on fuel, many of their supply trucks already lost due to air attacks. Just 26 tanks of the 28th BCC rolled forward to block the 7th\u2019s path. Four had already broken down. From atop a hill, they began picking off swarming Panzer IV and 38t tanks. The German armor charged, closing within 100 meters, only to be scourged by 47- and 75-millimeter shells. Sousse took out seven tanks, Phillipeville six and other tanks averaging three each. In return, only a single B1 was knocked out and another damaged. The Panzers retreated.\nA disabled Char B1 bis in northern France in 1940. Photo via Wikipedia\nRommel then committed a Panzer regiment to a flanking attack which was countered by a company of B1s\u2014some of which ran out of fuel in the process, forcing them to manually rotate their turrets. Three immobilized B1s were swarmed by a dozen German tanks each, their armor scoured by small-caliber shells until the crews were forced to bail. But the German probe turned back.\nRommel then called in artillery and dive-bomber strikes on the hill. His Panzer IVs had exhausted their 75-millimeter shells to little effect on the B1s\u2019 heavy armor.\nAround noon, the 37th BCC dispatched its 2nd company to roll to the assistance of the 28th, but fuel shortages and mechanical breakdowns reduced the unit to only five running tanks when they were ambushed by anti-tank guns and 30 Panzer IIIs and IVs hiding in the Biere l\u2019Abb\u00e9 woods. The vastly outnumbered heavy tanks took out 15 Panzers, but three B1s succumbed to the sheer weight of incoming fire. The remaining Guynemere, Ourcq and Isere retreated, heavily damaged.\nThe other two companies of the 28th began to withdraw. While the 1st company got out cleanly, the 3rd bumped into a battalion of powerful 88-millimeter Flak guns and 105-millimeter howitzers near Den\u00e9e. After losing all but seven of his B1s, Lehoux ordered his company to charge, even though he lacked infantry and artillery support. The heavy guns wiped out the French tanks\u2014but not before the French crushed several 37-millimeter guns under their treads, and destroyed eight of the German flak and field pieces with direct fire.\nBack at Flavion, the 37th BCC single-handedly continued to hold up an entire Panzer division. Growing desperate, Rommel deployed 88-millimeter flak guns a kilometer away. These begin picking off the fuel-starved French tanks, which could barely move to fire back with their hull-mounted howitzers. A final charge by the Panzers caused the signal to retreat to be sounded at 6:00 P.M. Between the lack of fuel, mechanical breakdowns and enemy fire, only three of the battalion\u2019s B1s escaped.\nThough a battalion and a half of French tanks had knocked out roughly 100 Panzers, a failure to support their actions with artillery, infantry and air support meant the tankers\u2019 sacrifice had been in vain.\nChar B1s continued to see action into June 1940, frustrating German efforts at the local level. In five days, three B1s defending the bridges at Rethel knocked out 20 German tanks, nine armored cars and 38 motor vehicles. Legendary general Heinz Guderian even notes the hassle a lone Char B1 caused in his memoir Panzer Leader: \u201cAll the shells I fired at it simply bounced harmlessly off its thick armor. \u2026 As a result, we inevitably suffered sadly heavy casualties.\u201d\nBut such actions could not shift the overwhelming tide of events.\nThe wreck of the last surviving Char B1 at Fort de Seclin in 2007. Photo via Wikipedia\nThe lumbering Char B1 didn\u2019t really suit the Heer\u2019s style of high-speed armored warfare. However, a victorious Germany decided to employ more than 161 captured Char B1s, overhauled and designated Panzerkampfwagen B2 740(f), in more static roles. Some were used in the invasion of Russia. Others fought huge partisan armies in the Balkans. Panzer Battalion 213 was even deployed to the Channels Islands that Germany captured from England.\nUnder personal consultation of Hitler, the German military and tank manufactures tinkered with the French tanks. Sixty B1s had their hull-mounted howitzers replaced with flamethrowers on flexible mounts. These first saw action in the 102nd Flame-tank Battalion as part of Operation Barbarossa, assaulting Soviet border fortifications in Western Ukraine on June 1941.\nTwo of the tanks were knocked out, however, and the unit suffered so many breakdowns that it was withdrawn from action in July. The Germans busily went about redesigning the flame tanks, and deployed an upgraded design in the 223rd Captured Tank Company to the siege of Sevastopol in the summer of 1942, again with little success.\nAnother 16 B1s had their turret ripped off, and replaced with 105-millimeter howitzers enclosed with an armored cab to serve as self-propelled artillery. These served in the 93rd Artillery Regiment in the garrisons of occupied France and then Sardinia.\nIn June 1944, American and British troops encountered B1s in Cherbourg during the battle of Normandy, then again in Arnhem and Oosterbeek in Holland during Operation Market Garden. By this late stage in the war, Sherman tanks and bazookas easily outgunned the early war design. Still, the B1 could still dish out quite a bit of anti-personnel firepower and the Germans still had 40 in service entering 1945.\nFrench resistance fighters managed to get their hands on a handful of the abandoned heavy tanks and used them in the liberation of Paris. While the front-line units of the Free French Army under DeGaulle primarily used U.S. armor such as M10 tank destroyers, they still rounded up 19 Char B1s they found in Renault factories and assigned them to 2nd Squadron of the 13th Dragoon Regiment.\nThe Dragoons were dispatched to assist in the siege of the last fortified pockets of German forces in Royan and La Rochelle. Facing limited anti-tank defenses, the Free French Chars blasted German pillboxes in Saint-George de Didonne, which surrendered on April 1945, and then besieged the German garrison at La Rochelle. The French heavy tanks were finally retired in 1946.\nA final two Char B1s were modified as minesweepers in April 1945. They contributed to cleaning up the terrible mess of a war, that for all their formerly impermeable armor, they could not win by themselves.",

It is central to enabling people to stay within their own homes in their later life. As part of a detailed study of \u2018past\u2019 and \u2018present\u2019 kitchen living, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 48 older people about their current kitchen and how well it met their needs. It was found that personal problems with reaching, bending, dexterity and sight were more likely to be experienced with increasing age while for specific tasks, ironing and cleaning created the most difficulty. The paper reports on coping strategies and simple innovations made by the participants to address the problems they experienced. A challenge for kitchen designers, manufacturers and installers is to think in terms of kitchens that are more flexible and adaptable to people\u2019s changing needs.\nMAGUIRE, M. ...et al., 2014.

        "raw_content": "Ladies and gentlemen, we\u2019ve made it to the final installment of The F-Word, our year-long journey into the unfiltered gritty real side of failure in the life of the entrepreneur. It\u2019s been a wonderful experience to chat about our favourite subject with all of our interviewees, uncovering the patterns and hearing about their unique experiences with failure.\nBut before we were ready to close our series, we wanted to hear from all of you. So we put out the word and were bowled over by the responses. While we unfortunately can\u2019t share all of your lovely answers, we\u2019ve compiled some of them below. Learn about the Design Build Grow community\u2019s thoughts on the ever-messy, ever-wonderful topic of failure.\nON WHAT FAILURE MEANS TO THEM\n\u201cIn its simplest form, when a product doesn't fulfill a set expectation, but in its truest form to me, when I learned nothing from an experience. With that lens, I have truly failed very few times in my life, and even so, I sometimes think that not enough time has passed for me to see the lesson learned from that experience.\u201d - Jana Josue\n\u201cHaving learned or felt nothing at the end of an experience.\u201d - Meredith Garritsen\n\u201cI would say failure is more of a feeling. You can feel like a failure, but it's usually only the individual themselves that thinks that. They 'feel' like they didn\u2019t accomplish what they 'should' have. I define failure as a bad word actually. I don't think there really is such a thing. It's all meant to improve us and help us grow. I prefer 'lessons' over failure.\u201d - Tamsen Ogden\n\u201cConstantly trapped in the 'what if'.\u201d - Jess Ryan\nON WHAT HURTS THEM MORE, FAILING THEMSELVES OR OTHERS\n\u201cThe times that I let others down. Personal failure never feels like a let down for me because I eventually see it as something to learn from and I can use the lesson or knowledge to grow as a person, but when I let someone else down it affects their life or business negatively in ways that I\u2019m not able to change. Having someone else count on your success is one of the most stressful things in life I think\u201d - Emma Boshart\n\u201cWhen you have no control and it\u2019s a little of both.\u201d - Ida Adamowicz\n\u201cTough question. At the end of the day, I'd probably say when I let others down. I cannot control how others feel and take an experience. It's relatively easy for me to re-frame what appears as failures as opportunities to learn something, but when I fail and it causes someone else disappointment or pain and I cannot make it up to them in some way or talk it through with them, it's extremely painful.\u201d - Jana Josue\n\u201cAll of the above. I take failure very hard. I shut down. I hate myself, I rethink the past, on if I would have done this, everything would've turned out differently. I feel a lot of shame, I feel like I did let myself and the people I care about down. I work hard on my reputation. I don't want people to see me as weak, needy, untalented. So that's why when I fail at something, I take it extremely hard. (I know this, because I'm going through this right now.)\u201d - Kaitlynn Jensen\n\u201cWhen I've let other people down because I am happy when other people are happy. In my line of work, I don't feel like things are accomplished if my clients are not more than happy.\u201d - Isabella Sarmiento\nON HOW THEY LEARNED ABOUT FAILURE GROWING UP\n\u201cMy parents expected a lot of me and I grew up to be too much of a perfectionist. I guess it was always a matter of achieving a specific goal, and if that goal wasn't achieved, the rest (ex. lessons learned, progress made, collaboration with others) didn't really matter.\u201d - Tea Mihaila\n\u201cFailure was my mother yelling at me when I did something wrong or something she thought was incorrect.\u201d - Sandra Nomoto\n\u201cMy dad always says \u2018failure is the pillar for success\u2019.\u201d - Sukhmani Purewal\n\u201cAs a child and teen (and even young adult) I was under the well-intentioned, but misguided, view/impression that: failure reflects you, failure means stop, a tall mountain to climb is more likely yield a \"failed\" result, so approach EASIER or more sound ambitions/goals. In my mid-twenties I took on a lot of challenges that I have arguably failed at, but I wouldn't hesitate a second in saying that it shaped me, it helped build me, and it redirected my life towards where I am today. So....I wouldn't be as successful today if it weren't for all the failures everyone told me not to pursue (knowing before I did, I would fail at).\u201d - Victoria Abadi\nON WHY WE DON'T TALK ABOUT FAILURE MORE\n\u201cMaybe because it is seen as embarrassing. We want to keep a strong self image of ourselves, making it look like we got to where we are by ourselves and had no setbacks. Giving the illusion that you're strong independent woman.\u201d - Kaitlynn Jensen\n\u201cVulnerability is still perceived as a weakness.\u201d - Jess Ryan\n\u201cI think that as a society - especially one that constantly views itself through the lens of social media only wants to look at itself through rose colored glasses. We don\u2019t like the ugly parts of the real world that much. I think to a certain point we have become too uncomfortable with the dark parts of life - failure, sadness, loss, exclusion - but talking about it means that when it happens to you all of a sudden you have a community of people you can relate to.\u201d - Emma Boshart\n\u201cIn this modern age with social media it seems everyone has to say they are living their dreams in reality. That they are succeeding. With this culture it becomes exceedingly hard to come out and say \u2018I failed\u2019.\u201d - Sukhmani Purewal\nON HOW THEY CULTIVATE FAILURE RESILIENCE\n\u201cI still get pretty anxious and down on myself when I think about all the goals I set out for myself and have not achieved, so I can't say I've gotten over that. But I do have a significant other in my life who has helped me with my struggles, so I guess perhaps that's how I'm dealing with it. With his help I began to realize that all things are temporary and that I should have more faith in the unknown.\u201d - Tea Mihaila\n\u201cBy failing a lot.\u201d - Ida Adamowicz\n\u201cIt's something I'm still working on. I think it's a journey towards better management of the emotions that naturally come from feeling as though you've failed or are a 'failure'. I do my best to remind myself a failure does not define me, and is limited to the goal that was being pursued. I also keep in mind it's just live feedback, and that when you 'fail' you need to pivot and move on, or step back and gain a better perspective (and keep going). It's a combined approach of minimizing the impact it makes on me personally, as well as minimizing the amount of time it takes me to get up and get going. The goal is to whittle it all the way down to maybe 60 seconds of grief, and moving on. A huge HUGE game-changer, when it comes to failure resiliency, is where you're at personally. Whether you're spiritual, religious, meditative, whatever it is. I encourage others to work on THEMSELVES, because when you build that confidence in YOURSELF and knowing (and believing) you CAN do anything and you ARE worthy and that YOU define yourself; getting over failures happens a lot quicker and easier. Because you're not stuck in that negative self-talk. It's really difficult and often impossible to get around yourself, when you're the first obstacle. So work on you.\u201d - Victoria Abadi\n\u201cI don't take no for an answer. I'll keep trying until the door actually shuts in my face. I also come up with back-up plans, Plan A-Z. Using this and the advice my dad gave me, there is always a way to turn failure into a positive.\u201d - Sukhmani Purewal\nON HOW THE F-WORD SERIES SHAPED THEIR VIEWS ON FAILURE\n\u201cIt gave me so much insight into other people\u2019s journeys- not only was there so many similarities in the resilience of each entrepreneur but also in their belief in their abilities as a person. It gave me confidence to continue on my journey and to keep building my community and to keep talking about my stumbles along the way.\u201d - Emma Boshart\n\u201cThe questions helped me reflect. That there is no failure. :) Because life is a learning process.\u201d - Serena Tang\n\u201cThat I think it needs to be talked about way more often. And to stop painting everyone as perfect. There are power in numbers, when you meet other people in similar situations as you, it's very humbling.\u201d - Kaitlynn Jensen\n\u201cIt made me think a lot more on how I can talk about failure in public and private.\u201d - Sukhmani Purewal\n\u201cI think I realized I fail pretty good! I think it's how you perceive failure - the MEANING you give it is more important than the failure itself. The failure is there only to help you improve. So it's helped me realize I'm skilled at failing. How awesome! Thank you!\u201d - Tamsen Ogden\nAnd with that, it\u2019s time to close the chapter on The F-Word. It\u2019s bittersweet, to say the least. From the bottom of all of our hearts, thanks again for engaging with us throughout this process. It\u2019s been immensely gratifying to see and hear about the impact that reading this series has had on your lives. We hope you continue to find inspiration to take that next leap, or to share openly with a fellow entrepreneur about the sometimes heartbreaking experiences of failure so that we can all remind ourselves that we aren\u2019t alone. The life of an entrepreneur is full of everyday failures. They can be messy, beautiful, and devastating all at once. They\u2019re also full of rich hints at how we might succeed in the future.\nThanks for reading! It\u2019s been a pleasure delivering you these interviews. While the series is over, our love affair with discussing failure is anything but. So if you ever want to chat about failure, we\u2019re all ears.",

        "raw_content": "Treasury Regulations and Judicial Deference in the Post-Chevron Era\nDavid A. Brennen, University of Georgia School of LawFollow\nGeorgia State University Law Review, Vol. 13, No. 2 (February 1997), pp. 387-430\n1984 was a watershed year in administrative law jurisprudence in the United States. That year, the Supreme Court outlined the degree of deference courts must show to agency regulatory interpretations of statutes. The Court concluded in Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. that an administering agency's reasonable regulatory interpretation of a statute must prevail over a differing judicial interpretation in two instances: (1) when Congress fails to unambiguously address the issue involved or (2) when the agency's interpretation is consistent with Congress' intentions. In so doing, the Court broke new ground in administrative law by asserting that the judiciary must yield to the reasonable legal and policy determinations of an executive agency. Despite contrary assertions, the Chevron directive remains unchanged today after more than a decade of subsequent Supreme Court rulings.\nAnalysis of several post-Chevron cases indicates that every major Supreme Court case since 1984 involving the validity of a Treasury regulation is consistent with Chevron. Indeed, since 1984 every challenged Treasury regulation interpreting a statute in which Congress failed to address a specific tax issue has been upheld by the Court. In fact, no Supreme Court case since 1984 could be discovered in which the Court invalidated a Treasury regulation on the grounds that it was an unreasonable interpretation of a statute. Several post-Chevron Supreme Court decisions, however, rejected the Treasury's application of a tax regulation to a particular factual situation. Additionally, there have been times when the Court failed to defer to the Treasury's non-regulatory interpretations. However, at least with respect to Treasury regulatory interpretations, the Supreme Court's review of tax cases since 1984 has been consistent with Chevron.\nPart I of this Article outlines the regulatory environment in which the Treasury Department operates. It discusses the authority of the Treasury to act as administrator of the tax laws, as well as the several ways that the Treasury fulfills its administrative obligation. Part II is an in-depth analysis of what this Article terms the \u201cChevron era.\u201d It contains an overview of several of the major Supreme Court cases preceding Chevron that involved Treasury regulatory deference and an analysis of the Chevron opinion. Part III focuses on the post-Chevron cases involving Treasury regulatory deference. It shows how the Supreme Court has abided by Chevron in each of its post-1984 decisions involving the validity of a Treasury regulation. Finally, it concludes that, contrary to the assertions of others, Chevron deference is alive and well. However, courts, especially the Supreme Court, should be more consistent at referencing Chevron so as to ensure continued adherence.\nDavid A. Brennen, Treasury Regulations and Judicial Deference in the Post-Chevron Era (1997),",

        "title": "Deport, Deprive, Extradite: On the Removal of Rights in Terrorising Times | Discover Society",
        "raw_content": "Deport, Deprive, Extradite: On the Removal of Rights in Terrorising Times\nNisha Kapoor (University of York)\nIf Islamophobia has long marked Europe\u2019s history, its contemporary expression serves a particular crisis of the state. The global War on Terror which targets Muslims as the ultimate enemy both within and without has encouraged routine militarisation as part of the day-to-day functioning of society. The hyper-surveillance and securitization that penetrate both \u2018hard\u2019 and \u2018soft\u2019 policing practices have come to infiltrate the welfare arms of government: education, health, and social welfare. Indeed this interconnection is epitomised in the Prevent strategy, which extends the government\u2019s key counter-terrorism strategies to schools, universities, GPs and other health care professionals. This trend is set to be enforced even more stringently under the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015. While there is no doubt that this war will have long-lasting impact as it sets unimaginable precedents for future practices of state governance, at its most extreme it has extended the possibilities for removing unwanted subjects and revoking basic and fundamental rights.\nCriminalising to Disenfranchise\nIt is no coincidence that the turn towards a law and order society, which Stuart Hall and colleagues insightfully foresaw in the 1970s, occurred just as formal civil rights were being extended and racism, which had denied and disqualified non-white populations from freedom and self-governance, was being challenged across the globe. The extensive rise in criminality that we have witnessed from that point onwards offered an alternative way to discredit, disenfranchise and dehumanise racially Othered populations. It became a legitimate way to maintain modes of exclusion.\nThe criminalisation of racialized minorities has largely occurred through two main processes. The first is through immigration restrictions and the processes of differentiation that decipher between \u2018citizens\u2019 and \u2018immigrants\u2019, where the latter by virtue of their outsider status can more easily drift into a category of illegality and thus criminality. Since the 1960s we have witnessed a significant rise in immigration legislation, the initial motivation for which was to restrict blacks and Asians arriving from Britain\u2019s former colonies. This has helped to normalise a popular logic that equal rights and entitlements should not be universal.\nThe second process is through an inflation of that which is considered deviant behaviour. Between May 1997, when it came to power, and September 2008, the Labour Government created 3,605 new criminal offences, almost one a day and an average of 320 per year. This trend continued apace under the Conservative-Lib-Dem coalition. The extensive development of counter-terrorism legislation during this period sits at the pinnacle of this advancement. Material support and conspiracy charges, for example, drastically lower the threshold for what constitutes a terrorism offence.\nConsiderably extending the law and order mentality, the moral panic around the threat of terror has led to overwhelming popular approval for the disciplining of Muslims, immigrants and asylum seekers, and consequently for the repeal of rights that earlier struggles fought to achieve. Race equality struggles for a more inclusive notion of Britishness which led to some state recognition of the importance of multiculture have been superseded by a narrower and more stringent definition of \u2018British values\u2019. State funding allocations prioritise pre-emptive policing of Muslims through the Prevent strategy over resources for addressing inequalities in health, education and employment. In the ultimate the criminalisation as \u2018bogus asylum seekers\u2019, \u2018foreign criminals\u2019 and \u2018terror suspects\u2019 has supported the development of more sophisticated forms of deprivation and expulsion.\nCollective expulsion\nIn a bid to step up state securitisation, early in 2001 the Labour Government raised its targets for the removal of asylum seekers. One of the key ways this would be achieved was laid out in the first main government policy response to 9/11 \u2018Secure Borders- Safe Haven\u2019, where it was announced that charter flights would be used to remove large numbers of asylum seekers, thus initiating a process of mass deportation. In the ten year period between 2002 and 2012, 22,069 people were removed in this way. Devoid of the same scrutiny and regulations that deportations via commercial flights are subject to (which, as the Jimmy Mubenga case exemplifies, are also extremely brutal) the special arrangements permitted for charter flights allow for more aggressive tactics to be used against \u2018disruptive deportees\u2019 away from public view.\nIn practice this means potential deportees are amassed by country of origin in order to fill a flight, effectively creating a system of collective expulsion, and collective punishment. The costs of the administrative inefficiency and much greater financial cost of this system are offset by the symbolic role that it plays in sending a message to those who attempt to resist the power of the state \u2013 that they will be expelled by any means necessary. The link between domestic policies on race, immigration and security and British foreign policy, military intervention and the War on Terror overseas, is epitomised in the flight patterns and destinations. The return of refugees to Kosovo began in 2001, then to Afghanistan from 2003, Iraq from 2008, Pakistan from 2008, Jamaica from 2007-8, Sri Lanka from 2009 and flights with multiple stopovers across Africa including Nigeria, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania.\nExile to solitary confinement\nEnhancing the possibilities for deportation in the post 9/11 context, the government also stressed the importance of \u2018modernising\u2019 extradition arrangements to enable the transfer of bodies marked as suspect between states. The global nature of the fight against terror has pushed new levels of collaboration between Britain, the US and mainland Europe for administering a global security state which in practice has meant that the USA, as the world\u2019s carceral capital, has opened its doors to the UK. In 2003 an Extradition Treaty was passed between the US and the UK which enables the US to request an individual they regard as suspect without providing prima facie evidence but by merely invoking suspicion.\nThe extension of criminality and the growing culture of pre-emptive policing, particularly targeting Muslims, means accusations of terrorism are based upon being in possession of ponchos and socks, administering a website which for a short time had its server hosted in the US, typing up a document, looking suspicious, emailing about marriage, attending a camp. Once in the US those extradited for terrorism, removed from home, family and friends, are placed in pre-trial solitary confinement, beginning a process of psychological break down. The physical conditions of restraint, the deterioration of mental health and the limited access to one\u2019s lawyers make it near impossible to mount a defence. Once indicted a conviction is almost certain. For most this means being exiled to the supermax prison ADX Florence, a prison that provided the blueprint for Guantanamo, described by a former warden as \u2018a clean version of hell\u2019. Here prisoners are kept in solitary confinement for 22 hours a day, five days a week, and 24 hours a day for the remaining two days. Those under special administrative measures are subject to further restrictions.\nEscalating statelessness\nIn order to assist the possibilities for removal, to extend what is more readily permissible for \u2018immigrants\u2019, but less so for \u2018citizens\u2019, the UK has escalated its use of citizenship deprivation, currently one of the global leaders developing protocols for doing so. Since the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2002 came into force it is estimated that at least 53 people have been stripped of their British citizenship, with 48 of these cases occurring since 2010 under the Coalition government. The threshold for deprivation was lowered in 2006 such that the Home Secretary can issue an order if she believes to do so is \u2018conducive to the public good\u2019. Last year, in order to assist the government fight appeals against statelessness, a new clause was approved which means naturalised Britons can be made stateless if there are \u2018reasonable grounds for believing\u2019 citizenship can be acquired from another country. For individuals such as Mahdi Hashi, Minh Pham, Mohamed Sakr and Bilai al-Berjawi, citizenship deprivation has preluded torture, rendition and extradition to the US, and death by drone strikes helping the British state to more easily wash its hands.\nIf the effectiveness of the Islamophobia being waged in the War on Terror is signified in the escalating removal of rights, the vilification and criminalisation of dissent against this process is of grave concern. Hindered is any public debate on the nature of contemporary racisms and possible action for its redress.\nNisha Kapoor is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of York and was recently awarded an ESRC Future Research Leaders grant for a project exploring \u2018Race, Citizenship and the State in the Context of the War on Terror\u2019.

        "title": "Preparing For Your Trip To Mexico - Divert Living",
        "raw_content": "The big question is should i travel to Mexico? or How will i be prepared to travel Mexico? Well, we are here to tell you that you should definitely travel to Mexico. It\u2019s a country full of beautiful architecture, culture and amazing people. Western media seems to portray the false narrative about how dangerous the country is. However, We had the most amazing month traveling Mexico city and cant wait to go back! This is how you can really be prepared for the upcoming trip.\nAs full-time travelers we are always worried and cautious when picking our next travel destination. With me being from New York my family was worried about us when we picked Mexico. A lot went into us picking this location, We started with research. All over the internet we were searching. This includes Google, Youtube, and even websites like Quora. We started asking people we know that are in or have been to Mexico and everything tells us that it is safe. We had this same experience when traveling to the Philippines. What it comes down to is there are always going to be rough places within any country. Not that they aren\u2019t safe but the crime rate is just higher there relatively. For the the USA, it\u2019s Detroit, Michigan they say this is the worst place with the highest crime rate in the USA but I have been there for concerts and don\u2019t think it\u2019s that bad. In Mexico it\u2019s Los Cabos, i don\u2019t think this should stop you from seeing this beautiful country.\nI would just suggest doing your research before traveling. Use the Map below to help you understand where you should and should not go. Generally speaking, they suggest to avoid the states that is boarder to the USA, this is due to trafficking routes. Research what areas you want to go and see what people say. We spent one month in Mexico City, and yes ! we were told some areas were nicer then others, and all the stuff we wanted to do in Mexico city were in a very nice areas. We mainly stayed and roamed around Condesa, Roma Polanco and Narvarte; these areas are safe, clean and full of amazing people. What i\u2019m trying to say is, generally speaking, most area in Mexico is safe. Don\u2019t always let media stop you and depict your travel destinations.\nAccommodations in Mexico City can be more tricky than you think. A lot has to do with the length of time you will be staying there. If you are staying long term it tends to be a lot easier to find an apartment. There are numerous apartments around the city for rent. Most of them requires a month in advance and even someone to sign on your behalf saying you are a good renter. You can walk the streets and find many signs saying \u201cAlquiler\u201d this is when you know they have an apartment for rent.\nAnother common and easy way to get an apartment is in the Facebook groups such as \u2018Foreigner in Mexico City\u2019 or \u2018Expat in Mexico City\u2019. If you\u2019re renting for short term ( 1-2 months ) it will be much different. We didn\u2019t have any luck with getting an apartment these ways. Many people told us that the best way is through Airbnb. We don\u2019t suggest you booking an Airbnb for this long without looking at it though. Instead, when it comes to renting long term or at least for 1 month, what we will highly recommend is to do a short term rental in the city for 1-3 days, and take time to pick the right place. We had many options on the site but when it came time to look at the apartments they looked nothing like the pictures. If you are staying less time (1-2 weeks) you can book a standard hotel or Airbnb without much worry.\nPublic transportation is incredibly cheap in Mexico City. You have four common options : Buses, Subway, Cabs and Uber. In most cases, a lot of people avoid local buses and cabs. Uber and Subways are the most common way to get around. Uber can be cheap but in times of traffic, it can be drastically expensive.\nThe Traffic is completely insane in Mexico City and can take hours to go only a short distance. In most cases, when there isn\u2019t a lot of traffic, and you want to go somewhere about 15 minutes away, your ride will be around 60 Mexican peso ($2.91 USD). For the subway your ride will always be 5 peso ($.24 USD) no matter how far you go or how long you are on the subway. This is why the best way to get around is subway but again i would avoid all public transportation during rush hour.\n\u2014 Want a discount on on Uber? use code: jamesh80799ui when you signup!\nBeing from the USA and Mexico being our neighbor i guess i was naive. English is not as common as i thought i would be. I have heard that in some more touristy areas English is more common. In the city where we were if you walk into a local shop there is a high chance they wont know English. I suggest you download a translation app to help you get though situations like this.\nAll in all, have a great time on your trip in Mexico, just keep some of these simple things in mind when traveling. If you want to check our FULL VIDEO GUIDE we have that on out YOUTUBE CHANNEL showing you and in depth guide to all the best and even some of the most unknown local spots!\nMexico travel knowledge and packing essentials",

        "raw_content": "Aging may be inevitable, but looking old is not. One of the most common signs of aging is the loss of volume in the cheeks. Once our skin loses its elasticity and the essential fat underneath the skin becomes depleted, our cheeks lose facial support and begin to hollow and sag, leading to an older, haggard-looking appearance. For patients looking to restore their cheeks, Restylane Lyft is the perfect choice to replace the lost volume in their cheeks, helping rejuvenate their appearance.\nRestylane Lyft is one of the newest dermal fillers on the market to be approved by the FDA that not only augments the cheeks, but provides much-needed support to the facial structures. This provides patients with both volume and lift, infusing youth back in the mid-face area. The age-reversing prowess of Restylane Lyft is what makes it one of Dr. Bradley S. Bloom\u2019s go-to fillers to help patients whose goal is to achieve a natural, youthful appearance, with cheeks that are perfectly balanced and beautiful.\nFormerly known as Perlane, Restylane Lyft is an advanced-formulated hyaluronic gel that is injected into the cheeks to provide both volume and lift to the mid-face. Restylane Lyft is a power-house anti-aging treatment that provides cheek volume while also improving the contours and symmetry of the face for beautiful, natural-looking results.\nCollagen is an essential substance that our bodies produce to keep our skin hydrated, firm, and elastic. Unfortunately, our skin produces less and less collagen as we age, resulting in sagging skin and wrinkles.\nBoard-certified dermatologist Dr. Bradley S. Bloom finds Restylane Lyft to be a great tool to help restore lost volume and definition in the cheeks and soften deep smile lines around the mouth. Restylane Lyft is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance, which hydrates and restores volume to the skin. Restylane Lyft is composed of a thicker, firmer texture than other types of dermal fillers. This allows Dr. Bloom to place Restylane Lyft deeper in the skin in order to restore volume in the cheeks with the most natural-looking results.\nWith a Restylane injection, the gel immediately adds volume to the treatment area improving hollows and creating gorgeous facial contours as well as providing lift. Also, Restylane Lyft supplements our own natural supply of hyaluronic acid, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles like the nasolabial folds. Once it\u2019s administered into the cheeks, the hyaluronic acid molecules in Restylane Lyft continuously attract moisture to the treatment area, thus helping maintain mid-face volume.\nAgeless Beauty with Restylane Lyft\nRestylane Lyft can be used to improve a number of cosmetic issues including:\nNasolabial folds (lines that run from the sides of the nose to the sides of the mouth).\nAdd volume to cheeks\nRestylane Lyft is so versatile, it can be combined with other dermal fillers and neuromodulators, like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, to perform a \u201cliquid facelift.\u201d A liquid facelift is a perfect choice for our patients who are looking for full facial rejuvenation without an invasive surgical procedure. A liquid facelift can take years off your appearance with little to no recovery time and can often be completed in an hour or less.\nQ. How long does a Restylane Lyft treatment last?\nA. Restylane Lyft is one of the longest lasting hyaluronic acid gel fillers on the market today. While results can vary, according to clinical trial results, patients reported visible results that lasted for up to a full year.\nQ. What are the possible side effects of Restylane Lyft?\nA. Restylane Lyft is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler. While side effects are rare, they may include bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites, which typically go away on their own within a matter of days.\nQ. Is an injectable dermal filler treatment painful?\nA. Restylane Lyft contains 0.3% lidocaine, which reduces potential discomfort during an injectable treatment. In addition, Dr. Bloom provides a topical numbing agent in order to make the experience completely pain and discomfort free.\nTurn the Clock Back with Dr. Bloom\nIf you\u2019re experiencing volume loss in the mid-face area or have deep smile lines that you would like to improve, contact us today for a comprehensive consultation to discuss your individual cosmetic concerns and goals. As an age-reversing expert, Bradley S. Bloom, MD will create an individualized treatment plan to help take years off your appearance, using advanced cosmetic treatments.\nNext, learn about Bellafill.",

        "raw_content": "Alaska Drug Detox\nAre you in search of a high-quality drug rehab clinic in Alaska for either yourself or a loved one? If so, we can offer you all the information needed to make a smart and informed decision. If you are suffering from an addiction to methamphetamines, heroin, marijuana or prescription drugs, a qualified drug detox facility can help you get clean.\nThe most important decision that you can make at this point is choosing the right form of rehab to attend. There are many differences between inpatient and outpatient drug rehab, and it\u2019s important that you have a thorough understanding before making a decision. Most people desire to choose outpatient because most believe it will be more convenient and cheap. No matter what you decide, though, it\u2019s important to make an informed decision.\nTreatment Facts For Alaska\nPast Year Treatment for Illicit Drug Use Among Individuals Aged 12 or Older with Illicit Drug Dependence or Abuse in Alaska (Annual Average, 2010\u20132014)\nTreatment centers in the state of Alaska are 1st in accepting and servicing adult women for every 100,000 people living in the state.\nAfter a necessary population adjustment has been made, the state of Alaska ranks 1st in accepting and servicing computerized substance abuse treatment. The state below is New Mexico at number 2.\nAfter population adjustments have been made, Alaska ranks 1st in rational emotive behavioral therapy patients. The next state is Wyoming at number 2.\nAlaska is ranked 1st in servicing and accepting IHS/638 contract care funds. The state below is South Dakota at number 2.\nAlaska is 1st in accepting and servicing clients who have co-existing disorders, for every 100,000 people living in the state. Maine is in 2nd.\nSurveys that are taken every year to keep up with the changing needs of residents who begin and continue to suffer from drug addiction. According to information published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), more than 90% of patients who enter addiction rehab report alcohol as a reason they decided to take the step toward professional treatment. When beginning to consider entering a drug treatment facility to quit your addiction, it\u2019s important to first identify exactly what your main substance of use is, as this greatly determines where you should check into. Also, if you have multiple addictions, it\u2019s important to identify which substances are a problem for you. In Alaska, there are three main substances that people tend to abuse more than others.\nThese substances are alcohol, heroin and methamphetamine, in that order. According to SAMHSA, only 10.6% of those who suffer from alcoholism got treatment. Between 2013 and 2014.\nOf course, the ultimate goal is to get everybody who needs help with their addiction completely clean, but unfortunately, this has not been easy. Every year, thousands of Alaskans continue to live under their addiction and refuse to seek out help.\nFor illegal drug abuse, the statistics are about the same as alcohol, with only around 11% of addicts receiving treatment. Every day that someone refuses to quit using is another day that increase their chances of early death.\nAdditional Treatment and Addiction Facts for Alaska\n6.2% of youth between the ages of 12 and 17 have reported having used cigarettes in the past month, a statistic that is higher than the national average of 5.2%.\n13% of youth between the ages of 12 and 17 have reported having binged on alcoholic beverages in the past month, a figure that is lower than the national average of 14%\n4.5% of youth between the ages of 12 and 17 have reported having used prescription pain relievers recreationally in the past month, a figure that is lower than the national average of 4.7%.\n9.9% of Alaskans reported experiencing an intense depressive episode between 2012 and 2013, a figure that is slightly less than the national average of 11%.\nOf the total 9.9% of residents who reported experiencing depression, only 47.3% received treatment for their depression, compared to 52.7% who did not.\n6.7% of residents in Alaska reported having a dependence on alcohol in the past year, a statistic that is slightly higher than the national average of 6.5%.\nPast Year Illicit Drug Dependence or Abuse Among Individuals Aged 12 or Older in Alaska and the United States (2010\u20132011 to 2013\u20132014)\nOptions For Drug Detox In Alaska\nBecause of Alaska\u2019s relative isolation and small population size, it can be difficult to find proper treatment in parts of the state compared to the rest of the country. Because of the low amount of funding from the government to keep facilities running, their numbers are few and far between. The number of inpatient programs running is not very high and many are not utilizing the newest research and treatment strategies.\nFor most residents of Alaska, enrolling in an inpatient or private addiction treatment program out of state is usually recommended. Thisway, you can ensure that the facility you attend offers a wide range of treatment options as well as the ability to properly care for any co-existing conditions or addictions that you or your loved one might have.\nThe benefits of attending an out-of-state treatment facility include:\nDistance from any stressors that exist at home\nMany more therapeutic options\nStronger focus on recovery\nIf you or a loved one is searching for the best drug detox facility for them, give us a call at (877) 262-6566 and speak to one of our specialists.",

        "raw_content": "Who and what are the Friends?\nThe Friends of Dunsfold Common was officially created on 11 April 1958 \u201cto promote the permanent preservation and improvement (of the Common) for the benefit of the public generally and especially of the inhabitants of the Parish of Dunsfold\u201d. It is a registered charity and is a membership organisation with membership \u201copen to any person resident or owning property in the said Parish\u201d. In reality, membership is open to other interested individuals. At present many of those living on or near the Common are members of the Friends.\nHow are we financed?\nSupport and hence membership of the Friends comes in a number of different forms. Some make a regular donation, normally annually, in amounts ranging from \u00a35 to \u00a350. In most cases these donations are made under Deed of Covenant which means that the Friends get the added advantage of being able to reclaim tax from the Inland Revenue. In other cases, some prefer to make contributions on a more ad hoc basis, sometimes in response to requests or at an activity organised by the Friends. Donations are always welcome. See below if you wish to make a contribution.\nThe Friends has no power or authority of its own but in three important ways it acts to protect and further the interests of the Common:\nfirst, it works closely with the Parish Council. Members of the Friends\u2019 committee are ex officiomembers of the Common\u2019s Committee of the Parish Council. This provides an important source of advice on developments relating to the Common, from the siting of the litter bins to liaising with the Council in its work with Waverley Borough Council on managed clearance of common and scrubland areas and the maintenance of the ponds which are such a feature of Dunsfold;\nsecondly, it spends its money on the upkeep of the Common. This includes a regular contribution to cutting the Common, paying a proportion of the Common Ranger\u2019s wages and maintaining the area around the War Memorial. It also includes support to other projects such as maintaining the path from the Church to the Holy Well and attempting to tackle the ongoing litter problems;\nfinally, it acts as a focal point for interest in the Common and brings together, at meetings and social gatherings, villagers with an interest in the Common.\nFor the Millennium\nTo mark the Millennium the Friends provided three benches for the use of those using the Common.\nOur Annual General Meeting is normally held in March or April each year. At this time there is generally an opportunity for villagers to make comments about the Common. Also at the AGM we include a speaker, as well as refreshments and a raffle. At other times of the year we arrange other activities such as a regular challenge against the Friends of Hascombe in either skittles or bowls.\nThese may be made to our Hon Treasurer, David Airey at Ivy Cottage, The Common, Dunsfold GU8 4LL, who can provide donation and covenant forms.\nAlastair Bentall (Chair), David Airey (Treasurer), Martin Gardiner, John Hedger, Wynn Pearson (Secretary), Robert Stedall and Mence Wilkinson.\nWe all care about this beautiful part of Surrey. Let us strive to preserve our heritage here for future generations.",

        "raw_content": "The politics of data warehousing revisited\nAn enterprise IT initiative generally affects a range of stakeholders groups, each with their own take on why the project is being undertaken and what the result should look like. This diversity of views is no surprise: an organisation-wide effort affects many divisions and departments, so there are bound to be differing \u2013 even conflicting \u2013 views regarding the initiative and its expected outcome.\nThe existence of many irreconcilable viewpoints is one of the main symptoms of a wicked problem \u2013 a problem that is hard to define, let alone solve. Paul Culmsee has written about the inherent wickedness of projects that involve collaborative platforms such as SharePoint. In this post I discuss how another class of enterprise scale initiatives \u2013 efforts to consolidate and harmonise organizational data for analytical and reporting purposes (so-called data warehouse projects) \u2013 display characteristics of wickedness. I also briefly discuss a couple of approaches that can be used to manage this issue.\nAs some of my readers may not be familiar with the terms data warehouse or wicked problem, I\u2019ll start with a short introduction to the two terms in order to set the stage for the main topic.\nA data warehouse is a repository of data that a business deems important for reporting and analysis. Ideally, a data warehouse integrates data from multiple sources \u2013 for example, CRM and financial systems \u2013 thereby serving as an authoritative source for management reports (often referred to as a \u201csingle point of truth\u201d). There are at least a couple of different design philosophies for data warehouses, but I won\u2019t go into these as they are not relevant to the discussion. What\u2019s interesting is that most of the literature on data warehousing deals with its technical aspects \u2013 things such as data modelling and extract-transform-load processes \u2013 yet, as anyone who has been involved in an enterprise-scale data warehousing effort will tell you, the biggest challenges are political, not technical. To be fair, this was recognized a while ago \u2013 Marc Demarest wrote an article on the politics of data warehousing in 1997. However, it is worth revisiting this issue because there are techniques to handle it that weren\u2019t widely known at the time Demarest wrote his article. I discuss these briefly later, but first let\u2019s look at what wickedness means and its relevance to data warehouse projects.\nThe term wicked problem was coined by Horst Rittel and Melvin Webber in a now-classic paper entitled Dilemmas in a General Theory of Planning. The paper is essentially a critique of the traditional approach to social planning, wherein decisions are made by experts who, by virtue of their specialist knowledge and training, are assumed to know best. Such an approach often doesn\u2019t work because it ends up alienating stakeholders who are adversely affected by the \u201csolution.\u201d This is a symptom of social complexity \u2013 messiness and conflict arising from diverse opinions as to what the problem is and how it should be solved. Those involved in enterprise-scale IT initiatives \u2013 whether as users, managers or technical specialists \u2013 would have had first-hand experience of this social complexity.\nHow do we know that a problem is socially complex (or wicked)? That\u2019s easy: In the paper, Rittel and Webber describe ten criteria for wickedness \u2013 so a problem is wicked if it satisfies some or all of the Rittel-Webber criteria. We\u2019ll take a look at the criteria and their relevance to data warehousing next.\nThe wickedness of data warehouse initiatives\nTo support my claim about the wickedness of data warehousing initiatives, I\u2019ll simply list the ten Rittel-Webber criteria (in their original form) along with a brief commentary on how they can crop up in data warehouse projects. Here we go:\nThere is no definitive formulation of a wicked problem: Those who have worked on organisation-wide efforts at integrating data will know that the first problem is to decide \u201cwhat\u2019s in and what\u2019s out\u201d \u2013 that is, what data sources are considered in scope for integration. The problem arises because different business stakeholders have different views on what is important. For example, data that is critical to HR may not be a priority for the marketing function.\nWicked problems have no stopping rule: Data warehouse initiatives are never definitively completed: there are always new data sources that need to be integrated; old ones to be turned off; business rules to be changed and so on. Any stopping rule that one might define will need to be revised as new business requirements come up and new data sources are revealed.\nSolutions to wicked problems are not true or false, but better or worse: This is simply an expression of the truism that there is no right or wrong way to build a data warehouse. There are a range of different architectures and approaches that can be chosen, each with their pros and cons (see this paper for a comparison of the two most popular approaches). The problem is that one often cannot tell beforehand which approach is going to be best for a particular situation.\nThere is no immediate or ultimate test of a solution to a wicked problem: This is a statement of the fact that one cannot tell whether or not a particular implementation can completely solve the problem of data integration. As Rittel and Webber put it, \u201c\u2026any solution, after being implemented, will generate waves of consequences over an extended \u2013 virtually unbounded \u2013 period of time. Moreover, the next day\u2019s consequences of the solution may yield utterly undesirable consequences\u2026\u201d Although these words are somewhat over-the-top, the message isn\u2019t: for example, I have seen situations where programming errors that have remained undetected for years (yes, years) have lead to incorrect data being used in reports.\nEvery solution to a wicked problem is a \u201cone-shot\u201d operation; because there is no opportunity to learn by trial and error, every attempt counts significantly: Because of the high costs of implementation, enterprise-scale IT initiatives tend to be one-shot affairs. Another limiting factor is that there is usually a very short window of time in which the project must be completed \u2013 as the clich\u00e9 goes, \u201cusers need these reports yesterday.\u201d Among other things, this precludes the option of learning by trial and error.\nWicked problems do not have an enumerable (or exhaustively describable) set of potential solutions, nor is there a set of well-describable options that may be incorporated into the plan: This point may seem like it doesn\u2019t apply to data warehousing initiatives \u2013 all data warehousing projects have a plan, right? Nevertheless, those who have worked on such projects will attest to the fact that the plan \u2013 such as it is \u2013 needs frequent revision because of surprises that crop up along the way. Iterative/incremental development approaches can address these issues to some extent, but cannot eliminate them completely. Because of time constraints, it is inevitable that solutions to unexpected roadblocks occur through improvisation rather than planning.\nEvery wicked problem is essentially unique: This one is easy to see: every organisation is unique, and so are its data integration requirements. Methodologists and consultants may try to convince you otherwise, and tempt you into following generic approaches \u2013 but don\u2019t be fooled, generic approaches will come unstuck. Your data is unique, treat it with the respect and seriousness it deserves.\nEvery wicked problem can be considered to be a symptom of another problem: One of the key drivers of data warehouse projects is that organizations tend to have the same (or similar) data residing in multiple databases. As a consequence there are several different \u201csources of truth\u201d for reports. These different sources of truth arise because systems used in different departments may have different definitions of the same business entity. For example, a customer might be defined in one way within the financial system but in another way in a CRM system. Seen in this light, the problem of multiple sources of truth is actually a symptom of lack of communication between different departments, what is sometimes called silo mentality.\nThe existence of a discrepancy representing a wicked problem can be explained in numerous ways. The choice of explanation determines the nature of the problem\u2019s resolution: As discussed in the previous point, the discrepancy in the case of a data integration problem is the lack of congruency between different data sources. There can be a range of explanations for the discrepancy. For example, one explanation may be that the data is actually different \u2013 a customer in the CRM system is not the same as the customer in the finance system; another explanation may be that the two entities are the same but their definitions differ because the systems were developed independently of each other. The data integration solution in the two cases will differ \u2013in other words, the solution to the problem depends on which explanation is seen as the correct one.\nThe planner has no right to be wrong: The data warehouse designer is in a difficult position: he or she may have to reconcile contradictory requirements. Following from the example of the previous point, whatever design decisions the designer makes regarding the definition of a customer, there will be some parties that will not be happy: if she goes with the finance definition, sales will be ticked off; if she chooses the sales definition, finance will not be happy; if she chooses to define a single common entity, neither will be pleased. Yet, her mandate is to satisfy all business requirements. This criterion is essentially an expression of the political aspect of data warehouse projects.\nI find it quite amazing that criteria that were framed in the context of social planning problems can apply word-for-word to data consolidation initiatives.\nManaging wickedness in data warehousing\nAs should be evident from the above, wicked problems can\u2019t be solved in the usual sense of the word, but they can be managed. Although there are many techniques to manage wickedness, they all focus on the same end: to help all stakeholder groups reach a shared understanding of the problem and make a shared commitment to action. Such a shared understanding is absolutely critical because business and IT folks often have differing views on what a data warehouse ought to be.\nOne approach that I have used to help stakeholders get to a shared understanding in data warehouse projects is dialogue mapping, a facilitation technique that maps out the conversation between stakeholders as it occurs. Dialogue mapping uses the Issue-Based Information System (IBIS) notation which was invented by Rittel as a means to document the different facets of a wicked problem. See this post for a data warehouse related example of dialogue mapping and this one for more on the IBIS notation.\nShared understanding and commitment to action is well and good, but in the end success is measured by deliverables: the data warehouse and accompanying reports must be built. One of the challenges with a data warehouse initiative is that customers have to wait a long (very long!) time before they see any tangible benefits. Agile approaches to data warehousing offer a way to address this issue. For those interested in the nuts and bolts of agile data warehousing, I recommend Ralph Hughes\u2019 book, which discusses how Scrum can be adapted for data warehousing projects.\nAlthough the juxtaposition of the terms \u201cagile\u201d and \u201cdata warehouse\u201d may sound oxymoronic to some, there is evidence that it works (see this case study, for example). Of course, no approach is a silver bullet; those who want to read about potential problems may want to look at this thesis for a research-based view of the pros and cons of an agile approach to data warehousing.\nIn the end, though, one has to keep in mind that no development technique \u2013 agile or otherwise \u2013 will succeed unless all stakeholders have a shared understanding of what the data warehouse is intended to achieve. The biggest issues are organisational rather than technical.\nAs we have seen, corporate data integration problems satisfy many \u2013 if not all \u2013 of the criteria for wickedness. The main implication of this is that data consolidation at an enterprise level is not just a difficult technical problem it is also a socially complex one. Although tackling this requires skills and techniques that are outside of the standard repertoire of technical staff and managers, these skills can be learnt. What\u2019s more, they are critical for success: those who undertake data warehouse projects without an understanding of the conflicting agendas of stakeholder groups may fail for reasons that have nothing to do with technology.\nPosted in Consulting, Corporate IT, Project Management, Wicked Problems\nPlanned failure \u2013 a project management paradox\nThe other day a friend and I were talking about a failed process improvement initiative in his organisation. The project had blown its budget and exceeded the allocated time by over 50%, which in itself was a problem. However, what I found more interesting was that the failure was in a sense planned \u2013 that is, given the way the initiative was structured, failure was almost inevitable. Consider the following:\nProcess owners had little or no input into the project plan. The \u201cplan\u201d was created by management and handed down to those at the coalface of processes. This made sense from management\u2019s point of view \u2013 they had an audit deadline to meet. However, it alienated those involved from the outset.\nThe focus was on time, cost and scope; history was ignored. Legacy matters \u2013 as Paul Culmsee mentions in a recent post, \u201cTo me, considering time, cost and scope without legacy is delusional and plain dumb. Legacy informs time, cost and scope and challenges us to look beyond the visible symptoms of what we perceive as the problem to what\u2019s really going on.\u201d This is an insightful observation \u2013 indeed, ignoring legacy is guaranteed to cause problems down the line.\nThe conversation with my friend got me thinking about planned failures in general. A feature that is common to many failed projects is that planning decisions are based on dubious assumptions. Consider, for example, the following (rather common) assumptions made in project work:\nStakeholders have a shared understanding of project goals. That is, all those who matter are on the same page regarding the expected outcome of the project.\nKey personnel will be available when needed and \u2013 more importantly \u2013 will be able to dedicate 100% of their committed time to the project.\nThe first assumption may be moot because stakeholders view a project in terms of their priorities and these may not coincide with those of other stakeholder groups. Hence the mismatch of expectations between, say, development and marketing groups in product development companies. The second assumption is problematic because key project personnel are often assigned more work than they can actually do. Interestingly, this happens because of flawed organisational procedures rather than poor project planning or scheduling \u2013 see my post on the resource allocation syndrome for a detailed discussion of this issue.\nAnother factor that contributes to failure is that these and other such assumptions often come in to play during the early stages of a project. Decisions that are based on these assumptions thus affect all subsequent stages of the project. To make matters worse, their effects can be amplified as the project progresses. I have discussed these and other problems in my post on front-end decision making in projects.\nWhat is relevant from the point of view of failure is that assumptions such as the ones above are rarely queried, which begs the question as to why they remain unchallenged. There are many reasons for this, some of the more common ones are:\nGroupthink: This is the tendency of members of a group to think alike because of peer pressure and insulation from external opinions. Project groups are prone to falling into this trap, particularly when they are under pressure. See this post for more on groupthink in project environments and ways to address it.\nCognitive bias: This term refers to a wide variety of errors in perception or judgement that humans often make (see this Wikipedia article for a comprehensive list of cognitive biases). In contrast to groupthink, cognitive bias operates at the level of an individual. A common example of cognitive bias at work in projects is when people underestimate the effort involved in a project task through a combination of anchoring and/or over-optimism (see this post for a detailed discussion of these biases at work in a project situation). Further examples can be found in in my post on the role of cognitive biases in project failure, which discusses how many high profile project failures can be attributed to systematic errors in perception and judgement.\nFear of challenging authority: Those who manage and work on projects are often reluctant to challenge assumptions made by those in positions of authority. As a result, they play along until the inevitable train wreck occurs.\nSo there is no paradox: planned failures occur for reasons that we know and understand. However, knowledge is one thing, acting on it quite another. The paradox will live on because in real life it is not so easy to bell the cat.\nPosted in Best Practice, mismanagement, portfolio management, Project Management",

        "raw_content": "Was Hemingway\u2019s macho posturing merely a front?\nNew biography exploring author\u2019s sexuality suggests divide between virile figure of novels and reality\nChicago 31 OCT 2017 - 17:08\tCET\nErnest Hemingway stands beside a dead leopard in 1953. EARL THEISEN AP\nBorn in 1899, Ernest Hemingway was fanatical about boxing, hunting, fishing and bullfights. He fought in three different wars and came home a hero. He went on expeditions to Africa where he hunted big game. And his treatment of women is often portrayed as cruel and abusive. In short, he created a paradigm of virility against which men were measured throughout the 20th century. Even his writing was red-blooded, with lyricism, metaphors and elaborate descriptions ditched for brief and punchy prose. This testosterone-charged image was one he would take with him to the grave. The real Ernest Hemingway was, however, quite different. As Zelda, F. Scott Fitzgerald\u2019s unstable but lucid wife, pointed out: \u201cNobody can be that macho!\u201d\nA new biography by US writer Mary V. Dearborn sets out to explore Hemingway\u2019s sexual insecurities. \u201cIt was part of what destroyed the end of his life,\u201d says Dearborn, who has written about other icons of masculinity in the literary world such as Norman Mailer and Henry Miller and is the first woman to tackle Hemingway.\nHe was undoubtedly queer. He managed to avoid defining himself as gay. He shook up people\u2019s expectations about sexuality\nMary V. Dearborn, Hemingway biographer\nRunning to 750 pages, the biography examines all aspects of the writer\u2019s life and work, but it is Dearborn\u2019s study of Hemingway\u2019s sexuality that sets it apart from the other tomes on the author. The book exposes his fascination for the androgynous and a hair fetish \u2013 he would ask his partners to wear their hair as short as possible while he let his own hair grow and dyed it blonde and auburn; if anyone asked he would say it was the sun.\nOn his return from his second expedition to Africa, Hemingway wanted desperately to get his ears pierced. \u201cWearing earrings would have a lethal effect on your reputation,\u201d his fourth wife Mary Welsh said, by way of talking him out of it.\nSo was Hemingway a repressed homosexual? \u201cThe short answer is no,\u201d says Dearborn. \u201cHe was undoubtedly queer. He managed to avoid defining himself as gay. He shook up people\u2019s expectations about sexuality and the behavior of men and women,\u201d she adds, pointing out that in his unfinished, posthumously published novel The Garden of Eden, Hemingway\u2019s alter ego, a writer called David Bourne, asked his wife to cut her hair and then proceeded to sodomize her with a dildo, something Hemingway had done himself with Welsh. According to Dearborn, it wasn\u2019t about being homosexual or a transvestite. It was about adopting the female role during sex. In fact, the writer was simply ahead of his time, opening up the possibilities of a more fluid sexuality that is talked openly about today.\n\u201cNobody can be that macho!\u201d\nHemingway was born in Chicago and lived there until he was six in a three-story Victorian house in Oak Park that he would later describe as \u201ca place with wide gardens and narrow minds\u201d. There is now a small museum dedicated to him in the same street. Inside the museum is a caricature of the writer printed in Vanity Fair in 1933 in which\nHemingway is depicted wearing a loincloth and putting hair booster on his chest. There is also a photo of the writer as a baby dressed in girl\u2019s clothes, as was the custom in those days until the age of one. Hemingway\u2019s mother Grace, however, continued to do this for years, bringing up Hemingway and his elder sister Marcelline, as though they were twins, dressing them identically \u2013 in boys outfits or girls, depending how the mood took her.\nThis period of his life would prove very traumatic to the author, triggering an anxiety that would lead to an obsession about masculinity, according to a biography by Kenneth S. Lynn published in 1987. In light of this, Hemingway\u2019s work is open to interpretation. Rereading the Nobel Laureate\u2019s novels and short stories, what jumps out at you is not so much the superhero as the insecurities of the men. Like the main character in The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber, who is ashamed of having run away when shooting big game, many are trying to embody an impossible model of masculinity.\nHyper-masculinity was part of who he was\nPaul Hendrickson, Hemingway biographer\nBiographer Paul Hendrickson, who wrote Hemingway\u2019s Boat, doesn\u2019t believe that Hemingway\u2019s extreme masculinity can be considered an act. \u201cHyper-masculinity was part of who he was,\u201d says Hendrickson, a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania. \u201cIt was real and authentic. Maybe it was a convenient mask for his ego, but it wasn\u2019t fake. I believe he was heterosexual, but with many contradictory feelings concerning his sexuality. I\u2019ve never found the slightest evidence that suggests he was attracted to men.\u201d\nHendrickson also speaks about the difficult relationship Hemingway had with his youngest son, Gregory, a transvestite who finally had a sex change at 63. He died as Gloria in a women\u2019s jail in Florida where he was imprisoned for indecent exposure. Once, when Gregory was small, Hemingway caught him trying on his mother\u2019s tights. Later the writer would tell his son: \u201cYou and I come from a strange tribe.\u201d According to Hendrickson, Gloria lived what her father could barely admit, even to himself. \u201cHence the love\u2013hate relationship,\u201d he says.\nMeanwhile, Dearborn maintains that this was the prison from which Hemingway would never escape. \u201cIn a better world, Hemingway would have pierced his ears,\u201d she says.\nHemingway museum in Chicago\nThe museum in Oak Park in the suburbs of Chicago has closed its doors 27 years after its inauguration with a view to using the funds from its sale to build a center for writing and investigation incorporating a bookshop and gallery, on a plot beside Hemingway\u2019s birthplace. The foundation will also launch a campaign asking for donations to finance the project to the tune of \u20ac1.1 million.\nHemingway\u2019s Madrid, 50 years after his death\nWhen Franco went to Hollywood\nIf we knew more science, we wouldn\u2019t judge people on their sexual orientation\nSpanish filmmakers call for forum to tackle problem of sexual harassment",

        "raw_content": "The new arrivals La odisea de los nuevos europeos\n6 los refugiados\n5 la acogida\n4 Los menores\n3 Los papeles\n2 Las fronteras\n1 Los protagonistas\nTurning 18: The second ordeal for migrant children who make it to Spain\nThousands of unaccompanied minors reach Europe every year, but those who end up on Spanish shores face bureaucratic hurdles and overcrowded centers once the system that took them in leaves them to fend for themselves\nThe loud sounds are coming from an apartment located on Maestro Te\u00f3filo Square, in the Andalusian city of Jerez de la Frontera (C\u00e1diz province). Behind the door, around 20 young men are trying to contain their laughter as they speak to one another in different languages: Arabic, Bambara, French. Some of them are playing Parcheesi, others are searching for a Wi-Fi signal as they sit on the couch in the brightly lit living room.\nPractically all of them arrived in Spain as children, and were wards of the state until they became adults. \u201cI left the youth center on the day that I turned 18, on March 8. The trouble is that I left with no information and no diploma,\u201d says Malick Doumbouya in a quiet voice. He didn\u2019t even have any ID, save for a useless birth certificate from his home country.\nMalick, a slender young man with dark eyes and a wide smile on a beardless face, had arrived by sea on a dinghy nine months earlier. Everything had been planned ahead of time: a friend gave him a ride on his motorcycle from his native village in Guinea Conakry to the border with Mali, where another friend showed him the way to Morocco. He was 15 at the time.\nTheir journey requires the kind of boldness and ingenuity that many adults only wish they had\nBut there was one thing he had not planned for: Spanish bureaucracy. When he turned 18 he ended up in this apartment, which is run by the non-profit group Voluntarios por Otro Mundo \u2013 the same organization that helped him secure a residency permit for former state wards. This document does not extend work authorization, however.\n\u201cI don\u2019t know why they do that,\u201d he wonders, looking out the window to see if the players for the Alma de \u00c1frica team have arrived on the field. Malick is training with this all-migrant soccer team in the hopes of being signed.\nJust like Malick, hundreds of youths enter Spain illegally every year. To the law, they are underage. But their journey requires the kind of boldness and ingenuity that many adults can only wish they had. To Spaniards, turning 18 means being able to drive and vote; to an immigrant, it is the thin line separating two worlds.\n\u201cIt conditions everything else,\u201d underscores Catalina Perazzo, a researcher for Save the Children. It is the difference between having the right to state protection and becoming a candidate for deportation. \u201cTheir age should be considered above their foreign nationality,\u201d adds Perazzo, noting that authorities often work the other way around, questioning the age that shows on the migrant\u2019s passport.\nAyoub outside the derelict building where he lives in Jerez de la Frontera. Juan Carlos Toro\nAlthough records show a drop in unaccompanied teen arrivals over the last decade, there has been a new spike (in 2016 there were 588, following a 42% rise from the previous year and a 85% surge between 2014 and 2015). This is still a contemptible figure compared with the 33,000 minors who arrived in Italy, Greece, Bulgaria and Spain combined in 2016, according to UNICEF.\nThat year, nearly 4,000 minors were wards of the Spanish state. Around a quarter of them were living in the Spanish exclave city of Melilla, on the northern coast of Africa. Another 25% were located on the Spanish mainland, in the southern region of Andalusia. Perazzo, of Save The Children, notes that the Childhood Observatory, an agency representing the central government, regional authorities and non-profits, has proposed a resettlement plan to relieve the pressure on these two areas. Two youths died in Melilla, one in December and another one in January, and the Ombudsman is investigating the circumstances surrounding their deaths.\nIn 2017, 28,300 people reached Spain illegally, the highest figure in a decade according to the United Nations. Around 9,000 of these migrants reached the Andalusian coast by boat. Alicia N\u00fa\u00f1ez, head of the youth center network in Andalusia, admits that it was a complicated year. There were 4,163 unaccompanied minors, 70% of whom hailed from Morocco, with a spike in arrivals from Algeria, Ivory Coast and Guinea.\nI want to play with them. Everybody treats me well, they consider me their brother\nMalick, about the Alma de Africa soccer team\nLast summer, unions reported that the region\u2019s centers were at saturation point, and the Andalusian government made a controversial decision to house around 60 minors at a campground. \u201cThere were many moments of overcrowding, but you can\u2019t keep empty centers around just in case, either,\u201d notes N\u00fa\u00f1ez.\nIt is drizzling outside. Malick goes out for a walk with his friend Mamourou and stops in front of the place where they met: the Manuel de Falla Youth Center. Located on the corner of a residential block, the facilities have room for 18 teenagers, yet in 2017 there were as many as 60 at one point. \u201cWhen there\u2019s more people, someone has to sleep on the floor,\u201d says Malick.\nInside the hallway, the walls are adorned with black-and-white photographs of children. A counselor explains that two decades ago she was working mostly with Spanish kids. \u201cSince then, we\u2019ve had to learn new languages, customs, types of food, religions and cultures,\u201d she notes.\nYoung men at the apartment run by the non-profit Voluntarios por Otro Mundo. Juan Carlos Toro\n\u201cBecause of saturation at these centers, inclusion programs have been dropped and there is only primary care service now,\u201d says Jos\u00e9 Carlos Cabrera, a researcher at Granada University and former worker at El Cobre de Algeciras Youth Center.\nAccording to him, overcrowding is the last symptom of a system that is deficient at the root. \u201cWe are assisting young people [...] at a youth protection center, not at specific centers for foreigners,\u201d he says, noting that the existing structure was designed in the 1920s with the needs of Spanish children in mind.\nEach one of the Moroccan youths who arrived in Spain had personal motives to do so. \u201cThey are not always pushed by poverty or the need for a job. They want to move away from home. Just like Mexico and the Philippines, Morocco is one of the world\u2019s biggest recipients of remittances,\u201d explains Mercedes Jim\u00e9nez, an anthropologist who has been living in Morocco for 20 years and lives in Tangiers. \u201cMany Spanish customer care services are based in Morocco; the snails served at tapas bars in Seville come from Larache, Zara clothes are sewn right here. Everything around them is in motion, and mobility is a form of social climbing. And they want to be global subjects too, to see the Eiffel Tower, to stand inside the Real Madrid stadium...\u201d\nThe requirements to access formal education have become tougher\nCatalina Perazzo, Save The Children\nNour did not know what was awaiting him in the Spanish city of Melilla, on the northern African coast. This Moroccan youth who now plays as a midfielder in the Alma de \u00c1frica team recalls how he crossed the border at age nine with his brother, who was 10. He considers himself lucky: at the center where he was sent, he got to study and play soccer. Later Nour came to mainland Spain and now, at age 23, he is continuing his education. The next step is applying for Spanish citizenship. His brother is not in the same situation: he ran away from the center.\nMore than 800 youths ran away from centers in 2016. Ayoub, a 19-year-old from Morocco, fled around a dozen of these facilities before turning 18. \u201cI like to be alone,\u201d he claims. He is skinny and has spent the last six months living inside a derelict building in Jerez that overlooks a courtyard covered with trash and mud. There is no electricity, no running water and no glass in the windows.\n\u201cI came here because people in Morocco always say, \u2018Spain! Spain has money!\u2019,\u201d he says. Ayoub crossed the Strait of Gibraltar at age 11. Now he spends his afternoons hanging around the city with other former wards who sleep in shelters or apartments run by non-profits. He partly regrets his decision to emigrate: \u201cI thought I was going to find a future here... but I\u2019m still dreaming.\u201d\nThe challenge posed by unaccompanied migrant children is nothing new. In the mid-19th century, New York authorities disposed of 200,000 German, Italian and Irish kids who had arrived as stowaways in ocean liners by putting them on trains headed for the Midwest, as the columnist Valeria Luiselli wrote about in this newspaper. The kids could fend for themselves once they got there. Problem solved.\nThings have gotten better since then, but there is still a lot of scope for improvement. Isabel L\u00e1zaro, a professor of law at Pontificia Comillas University and a specialist in juvenile issues, lists \u201cthe very serious problems in general. And then there is Melilla, which is a world unto itself.\u201d\nThe Alma de \u00c1frica team in Jerez de la Frontera. Juan Carlos Toro EL PA\u00cdS\nL\u00e1zaro holds that \u201cthere is no political will to identify these minors, and the processes to determine their age do not guarantee minors\u2019 rights. In the end, the prosecutor decrees [whether the youth is over or under 18] and there is no appealing this.\u201d\nAuthorities also fail to make efforts to determine whether these youths require asylum or are victims of people smuggling, she adds.\n\u201cA mistake in age determination can mean having kids on the streets who are passing themselves off as adults,\u201d says Sara Collantes, of UNICEF.\nThis was the experience of the teenagers who ended up in CIEs, the holding centers for illegal immigrants prior to their deportation.\nIn May, it will be 12 years since Modou has been in Spain without legal residency papers. \u201cTwelve years without papers!\u201d he exclaims. A native of Senegal, he says he arrived in Spain at age 15 but never went to a youth center. \u201cIf I had, now I would have Spanish citizenship,\u201d he laments.\nI thought I was going to find a future here...but I\u2019m still dreaming\nAyoub, 19, from Morocco\nHe landed in the Canary Islands during the peak of boat arrivals in the Spanish archipelago, and the police put him down as a minor. But when records from Senegal arrived, it turned out that his own father had reported him as being three years older than he really was. \u201cI am 26, but my papers say I am 29,\u201d he says.\nAssisting underage migrants is a titanic task that is made harder by the web of laws and institutions involved. The legal complexity is such \u2013 with regulation that includes foreigner, asylum and juvenile protection laws and multiple actors at the national and regional levels \u2013 that it puts them in a vulnerable situation, say the experts. For instance, the likelihood of being considered under 18 varies greatly from one region to the next. These tests are controversial, and the margin of error is huge, 18 months.\nAlicia N\u00fa\u00f1ez, head of the youth centers in Andalusia, notes that more than 70% of wards in the region are over 16 years old. \u201cOf those, 52% are between 17 and 18, which means that we have just a few months to identify them, get their papers, and work on social and labor integration.\u201d\nThe non-profits are critical of the slow pace at which authorities declare a youth to be a ward of the state, which opens the way to residency application (not work visas, however).\n\u201cAlthough the MENAS (jargon for unaccompanied migrant minors) protocol reduces this to three months, it largely depends on the educator, on the center, on the city or region, and even on the government delegate,\u201d says the expert from Save The Children.\nThe Ombudsman and activists criticize the fact that unaccompanied youths with a residency permit are not allowed to work once they reach the age of 16. \u201cIt does not serve the best interest of the minor, who is being discriminated against compared with accompanied minors,\u201d says the Ombudsman\u2019s annual report.\nIn other words, if you came here with your parents or an adult sibling, you\u2019re allowed to work, but if you came alone, you\u2019re not. Jos\u00e9 Miguel Morales, secretary general of the support association Andaluc\u00eda Acoge, explains that this permit is aimed at the children of immigrants who stay with their parents until age 18.\n\u201cThere is no specific measure for these other kids,\u201d he says about the unaccompanied ones. \u201cAnd the bad part is that they could be trained in professional skills.\u201d\nFor Malick, the toughest part was not the journey across Africa, or the months he spent in a forest before boarding a makeshift boat for Spain. The hardest part was living in the youth center, and the thing he missed the most was being able to study. He still dreams of becoming an economist, although his hopes of getting some kind of diploma at the center were dashed.\n\u201cThe requirements to access formal education have become tougher,\u201d explains Perazzo. After he turned 18, Malick took a course thanks to the non-profit group CEAin; he later got a job at a restaurant as a kitchen aide, and now he will be able to obtain work authorization. He is also waiting for the consulate to give him his passport. He\u2019s been to Madrid to apply in person, and visited Bernab\u00e9u stadium while he was there.\nLegal papers are a requirement to play for Alma de \u00c1frica. \u201cI want to play with them. Everybody treats me well, they consider me their brother,\u201d he says. Malick\u2019s fear is that he won\u2019t be accepted because he is not tall enough. \u201cBut I am good at defense. I grab the ball and I play very good defense.\u201d\nThis story is part of a project called The New Arrivals, funded by the European Journalism Centre with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, in which EL PA\u00cdS is a participating member together with The Guardian, Der Spiegel and Le Monde.\nEL PA\u00cdS SEMANAL | The battle for the Mediterranean\nSpain\u2019s invisible migrant children\nThe lucrative business of securing Europe\u2019s borders\nThe odyssey of the new Europeans",

        "raw_content": "Sacrifice: A Dirty Word?\nWhat does the word \u2018sacrifice\u2019 mean to you? One of the Oxford dictionary definitions is \u2018an act of giving up something valued for the sake of something else regarded as more important or worthy.\u2019 I think that the concept of sacrifice is one that we struggle with in our contemporary culture- seen as outdated, irrelevant, negative. We want to have and do it all. We don\u2019t want to give up anything, let alone something we (or society as a whole) view as valuable. But the Bible says it is a fundamental part of Christian living, and so maybe we need to think again.\nThis year I have started using the Bible in One Year (BiOY) app, a great free resource that takes you through the whole Bible in a year (obviously!), and using that have been reading through Matthew\u2019s gospel. Jesus\u2019 teachings on how to live in community with God and with each other were counter-cultural then, and are definitely counter-cultural now. I think that sometimes, the temptation can be to view our faith as an \u2018extra\u2019 on top of the life we are already living; something that adds value to it, completes it. But that is not what Jesus taught. He is looking for total commitment that invades every moment of our waking lives- every decision, at home, or work, or school; every relationship; everything we say and do. Unless we are prepared to live all out for Jesus, we will not be able to step into all the amazing plans he has for our lives- the unique work that each of us were put on this earth to do. In the words of Jesus:\nIf you don\u2019t go all the way with me, through thick and thin, you don\u2019t deserve me. If your first concern is to look after yourself, you\u2019ll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you\u2019ll find both yourself and me.\nMatthew 10:38-39, The Message\nThere will inevitably be a cost involved to living this way. Something has to give. Some things will have to be surrendered, given up. If we are walking in step with Jesus, life can never be the same as it was before. Sometimes we think it\u2019s enough to sacrifice things that we were never very attached to, anyway. But according to the definition above, true sacrifice is giving up something we value. Maybe that\u2019s popularity- being prepared to identify ourselves as followers of Jesus even when it\u2019s not going to make us any friends. It may be financial security- listening to God\u2019s voice and following his call even if that takes us away from a 9 to 5 job with a pension and job stability. Perhaps it\u2019s career progression- turning down a promotion if we know it\u2019ll mean we\u2019ll be having to spend so much time at the office that there will be no time left for anything or anyone else. Maybe it\u2019s how we spend our time, or our money- giving God the first-fruits, the very best, not just what\u2019s left over once we\u2019ve done everything else we want to do. The hardest thing to surrender is our sovereignty over our own lives- acknowledging that God is in control; that he knows better than we do what\u2019s best for us.\nMatthew 6:33, NLT\nOr, as The Message puts it:\nSteep your life in God-reality, God- initiative, God-provisions. Don\u2019t worry about missing out. You\u2019ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.\nWe mustn\u2019t just dwell on the first part of the definition, but read to the end of the sentence and remember that anything we may give up is for the sake of something of even greater value. Not only can we be freed to live the lives we were made to live here on earth, but we have a promise of eternity in heaven from a God who always keeps his promises. Following Jesus is always costly. But it is so, so worth it.\nIf you have questions about Christianity, why not try Alpha? There\u2019s a course starting at Christ Church, Park Wood, Maidstone on January 28th in the evening.\nThe Heart of the King: People Matter\nAs Jesus was saying this, the leader of a synagogue came and knelt before him. \u201cMy daughter has just died,\u201d he said, \u201cbut you can bring her back to life again if you just lay your hand on her.\u201d\nSo Jesus and his disciples got up and went with him. Just then a woman who had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding came up behind him. She touched the fringe of his robe, for she thought, \u201cIf I can just touch his robe, I will be healed.\u201d\nJesus turned around, and when he saw her he said, \u201cDaughter, be encouraged! Your faith has made you well.\u201d And the woman was healed at that moment.\nWhen Jesus arrived at the official\u2019s home, he saw the noisy crowd and heard the funeral music. \u201cGet out!\u201d he told them. \u201cThe girl isn\u2019t dead; she\u2019s only asleep.\u201d But the crowd laughed at him. After the crowd was put outside, however, Jesus went in and took the girl by the hand, and she stood up! The report of this miracle swept through the entire countryside.\nJesus\u2019 compassion blows me away in this passage. He interrupts what he is doing, drops everything and responds to a call for help- because to him, nothing was more important. People mattered to Jesus. Their hopes, fears, anxieties, problems, joys, and sorrows. They mattered to him then, and they matter to him now. He, the Son of God, doesn\u2019t make the distraught father wait until he\u2019s finished an in-depth conversation about the kingdom of God (Matthew 9:14-17). He doesn\u2019t think that he is too important for such \u2018trivial\u2019 missions and send someone in his place. All he sees is a grieving parent asking for the help that is within his power to give, and he responds without hesitation. No sooner has he set off then he is interrupted again, and once more gives patiently and graciously of himself.\nIt is interesting to see who it is that Jesus reaches out to in this passage- a dead girl and a woman with a chronic gynaecological condition. Both would have been considered \u2018unclean\u2019, and if you add being female into the mix, were pretty much bottom of the pecking order in the Jewish culture of Jesus\u2019 day. (Those misogynistic attitudes still prevalent in many parts of the church today do not, it would seem, find their spiritual roots in Jesus!) Only Jesus would drop everything to go and minister to two people as poorly regarded as this.\nAnd Jesus sent the crowds away before raising the girl. It wasn\u2019t about flashy public ministry, gaining popularity and followers, or proving who he was (although it did do exactly that!), just about reaching out in love to those in need around him, without counting the personal cost and inconvenience.\nMy prayer is that I may not let busyness and a sense of self-importance stand in the way of the little acts of kindness and compassion that God wants me to be doing, every day. Jesus isn\u2019t here on earth in person today- we are his hands, we are his feet. He may not choose to heal or raise the dead through me, but whatever he wants to do, with God\u2019s help I pray I would be a willing channel of his love and power and not an obstacle to it. People mattered to Jesus. I pray that they would matter- really matter- to me, too.\nStories are important. We love to hear them. We love to listen to people who are good at telling them. A great story can teach us without us realising we\u2019re learning; make us think more deeply about an issue we thought we had got sorted; make us laugh; make us cry. Hearing the same stories over and over again can be a favourite part of our family heritage and tradition, especially if they tell us more about the people and situations around us and help us to understand them better.\nJesus was a master storyteller. He taught profound truths about the Kingdom of God using stories set in situations very familiar to his audience, featuring characters everyone could recognise, from dishonest tax collectors and rich businessmen, to shepherds, housewives and widows. Carry on reading\u2026\nPrayer is Pivotal (Part 1): Lessons from #LC13\nI\u2019m not usually one to spend hours on end staring at a computer screen, but this week I made an exception. Holy Trinity Brompton, the large central London church which is (amongst other things) home of the Alpha Course, held their annual Leadership Conference. Last year my husband and I were fortunate enough to attend in person; that not being possible this year I opted for the next best thing- watching the event from home as it was streamed live over the internet. I joined thousands of others from across the world who watched the event online, adding to the audience of 5,500 people from 86 nations and representing numerous Christian denominations who were actually there in the Royal Albert Hall. Carry on reading\u2026\nYou Can\u2019t Kid the Kids\n\u201cMummy, why did you lie about liking Mrs Davies?\u201d\nWhoa, hang on, what?!\n\u201cEr\u2026 what do you mean? I do like Mrs Davies!\u201d\n\u201cThen why were you talking about her with Sarah\u2019s mummy behind her back? It didn\u2019t sound as if you liked her.\u201d\nOh dear. Rumbled by a 7-year-old with big ears and a highly developed sense of justice.\nOne thing I\u2019ve learned since becoming a parent is that children\u2019s noses are phenomenally good at sniffing out inconsistencies in our behaviour. They may not remember us asking them to make the bed or put their school uniform away but they will definitely remember something that you\u2019ve said that you wish you hadn\u2019t. They will also run this regrettable utterance through their database of our previous sayings or actions to see if they match up. And if they don\u2019t, they will notice. We underestimate the attention they pay us- what we say, what we do- at our peril. Carry on reading\u2026\nParenting The Journey The Word\nHe called out to them, \u201cFriends, haven\u2019t you any fish?\u201d\nHe said, \u201cThrow your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.\u201d When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.\nThen the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, \u201cIt is the Lord!\u201d As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, \u201cIt is the Lord,\u201d he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water.\nJohn 21: 4-7, NIV\nI love this story about the risen Jesus and his rather confused and overwhelmed disciples. What an emotional rollercoaster they had been on over the past few days, especially Peter. They had witnessed one of their close friends, Judas, betray Jesus to the authorities. They had seen their beloved Master die a gruesome death. Despite previously claiming that he was ready to die for Jesus, when it came to the crunch Peter had denied three times even knowing him. Carry on reading\u2026\nIt\u2019s Good to Think: being a Godly Geek\nI have a confession to make- I\u2019ve always been quite lazy when it comes to using my brain. I\u2019m lucky in that I\u2019ve always found it easy to learn, and when I was at school, if you were good at memorising facts and regurgitating them, you could do pretty well. (When I arrived at Cambridge University and they expected me to actually think for myself I very nearly came unstuck, but that\u2019s a whole different blog post!)\nOne thing that God has been teaching me lately is that he wants to engage with all of me, brain included. I have always been quite embarrassed about being academically able (or a geek, swot, teacher\u2019s pet, and a whole load of other less polite terms that I could mention but won\u2019t- I\u2019ve heard them all). For some reason intellectual prowess is definitely not as socially acceptable as excelling at sport, or music, or drama, or anything else. Recently, though, it seems as if God is releasing me from that embarrassment, and has been reassuring me that he made me this way. I can (and should) be using the gifts he has given me, unapologetically. Carry on reading\u2026\nThrowing off the chains\nAround midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off! The jailer woke up to see the prison doors wide open. He assumed the prisoners had escaped, so he drew his sword to kill himself. But Paul shouted to him \u201cStop! Don\u2019t kill yourself! We are all here!\u201d\nThe jailer called for lights and ran to the dungeon and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. Then he brought them out and asked, \u201cSirs, what must I do to be saved?\u201d\nThey replied, \u201cBelieve in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.\u201d And they shared the word of the Lord with him and with all who lived in his household. Even at that hour of the night, the jailer cared for them and washed their wounds. Then he and everyone in his household were immediately baptised. He brought them into his house and set a meal before them, and he and his entire household rejoiced because they all believed in God.\nActs 16:25-34, New Living Translation\nReading this amazing story this morning really challenged me. Paul and Silas had been arrested, stripped, publicly humiliated, severely beaten, and thrown into prison. Unlike many of us would react, however, they were not wallowing in self-pity but praising God! Their focus was not on themselves. They were not saying \u201cWhy me?\u201d They were not giving in to fear, misery or despair, understandable as that would have been. They are focussing on God who they know is always the same no matter what is happening on earth. Carry on reading\u2026",

The assembly is empowered to designate or dismiss the supreme leader.\nIn a meeting with members of the assembly on September 21, Khamenei tasked them to assess the accomplishments and failures of Iran in achieving the goals of the revolution.\nIn this regard, he asked the assembly to demand accountability from various state bodies, including the three branches of the government.\nThe Assembly of Experts consists of 88 members, many senior clerics, who are elected by popular vote, but are screened by the Guardian Council, which is under the supreme leader\u2019s control. Therefore, an assembly, which is constitutionally tasked to be watchdog over the supreme leader, is basically selected by him.\nGuardian Council members; MahmoAhmad Jannati (C), attending a session of Assembly of Experts, undated.\nMoreover, some members of the assembly who have disagreed with Khamenei in the past, have been arrested or ostracized.\nFor assessing accomplishments and failures, Khamenei mentioned several issues he deems important.\nHe asked the assembly to consider \u201cridding the existing culture of Western elements.\u201d He also mentioned the need to gain economic power, \u201cfight poverty, achieve a more equitable distribution of wealth,\u201d and uphold the tenets of the revolution.\nIn an interview with Radio Farda, Paris-based Iranian journalist and analyst Morteza Kazemian said, \u201cUnfortunately, the supreme leader has defined a new and illegal mission for the Assembly of Experts, just to divert the assembly from its main mission.\u201d\nKazemian added that the assembly has become more of a ceremonial body that, instead of supervising the supreme leader, carries out his agenda.\nThe chairman of the assembly, hardline ayatollah Ahmad Jannati, also announced that the duty of the body is \u201cthe consolidation of the supreme leader\u2019s positions\u201d and demanding accountability from other organs of the state.\nAli Motahari, the outspoken deputy speaker of parliament who is a social conservative, had said earlier this year that the assembly is not doing its duty of supervising the supreme leader. He insisted many members \u201chave a lot to say\u201d but are afraid of expressing their views because of what often happens to critics.",

        "raw_content": "For the early leader in the Latter Day Saint movement, and cousin of Joseph Smith, Jr., see Elias Smith (Mormon).\nElias Smith (17 June 1769 \u2013 29 June 1846) was a preacher, physician, journalist and clergyman. Smith, along with the preacher Abner Jones, founded a group of Christian Churches in New England that eventually merged with other like-minded, regional groups to become the denomination known as the Christian Connexion. Smith founded The Herald of Gospel Liberty in 1808, which he claimed (in his autobiography) to be \"the world's first religious newspaper\". It was not the first in the world, but may have been the first in the U.S. The Herald had two purposes: (1) reporting news of revivals and (2) promoting \"religious liberty\", by which he meant an end to tax supported churches. (Several states had official tax supported churches at the time.)[1]\nSmith proved to be a controversial figure in the Christian Connexion, leaving the denomination for several years to become a Universalist. Smith's apostacy to Universalism encouraged the Christian Connexion to more clearly define the boundaries of their beliefs and identity. Smith publicly renounced Universalism in 1823, but was not well received and reverted to it for a couple of years. Smith again attempted a re-entry to the Connexion with another repudiation of Universalism in 1827. His brethren were understandably hesitant to accept him, but his home congregation of Portsmouth, NH received him back in fellowship in 1840.[2]\nSmith spent his later years as a vigorous proponent and practitioner of the Thomsonian system of herbal medicine, though he and Thomson had a public dispute and falling out in 1827. Smith died in Lynn, Massachusetts.[3]\nElias Smith was a prolific author, writing and publishing many books,[4] sermons,[5] and hymnals.[6] He also published an autobiography, which was labelled as \"volume 1.\" His intention was to publish a second volume \"as soon as it shall be called for by my friends and the public.\"[7] He re-released it with some minor edits and an additional chapter in 1840; however, a second volume was never issued.\nAbner Jones, a co-founder of the New England Christians.\nJames O'Kelly, founder of Southern Christian Churches.\nBarton Stone, founder of Christian Churches in the West.\n^ Hines, Michael.

The Club is based at Cross Green, Otley. The Club runs 3 Senior Sides and a full Junior Section ranging from Under 17 to Under 9.\n2.1 1st XI\n2.2 2nd XI\n2.3 3rd XI\n2.4 Club awards\n4 Transfers 2014\n4.1 Players In\n4.2 Players Out\nOne of the County\u2019s oldest Cricket Clubs, Otley CC was formed in 1820 although there are records that suggest that cricket was played in the town even before this date. Initially the club played on a ground now occupied by the cemetery and moved to its present Cross Green ground in 1862.\nFor the first 73 years of the clubs existence it played friendly matched but in 1893 the Club took a huge step forward by becoming founder members of the Airedale & Wharfedale Cricket League. The Club continued to play cricket in the League until after the First World War when in 1919 the Club joined the Yorkshire Council League. The Club played in this Competition until 1936 when they joined the re-formed AWSCL. Otley instantly made their presence felt by winning the first of its league titles the following year.\nIn 1942, Otley won the AWSCL for the 2nd time, and also got their maiden win in the League's Cup competition with victory over Menston CC in the Waddilove Cup. During this period the Club had many successful players; H. Daphne, W. Bishop, J. Warburton, H. Bolton & R. Scarr to name a few. The latter two would go on to write their names into the League record books. In 1943 the Club retained the Waddilove Cup with H. Daphne taking match winning figures of 7-22.\nFrom 1950 to 1980 saw the Club win 5 more Waddilove Cups, starting the careers of some of the finest cricketer's the Club has seen such as Mike Bailey, Barrie Crighton, Ray Beadle, John Harker, Steve Davies and Chris Smith. Smith has been at the forefront of everything going on at the Club ever since, with a hugely successful playing career spanning four decades and his more recent off field efforts with fundraising events and serving as the Club's current Chairman.\nDuring the period of the 1980s and the early '90s, the likes of Beadle, Smith, Davies and Wadkin led the Club's most successful period with numerous league and Cup triumphs. Thanks to a crop of highly talented juniors coming through such as Hill, Hunt, Conway, Davey, Chaplin and the Wolfenden brothers who pushed onto the 1st XI saw the Club win both 1st & 2nd Team League titles, the Waddilove Cup and the Burmah Oil Trophy in 1988.\nThe trophies have dried up over the last 20 years, with defeats in the 2006 and 2008 Waddilove Cup Finals against Bilton and Kirkstall Educational and defeats in the Birtwhistle Cup Final in 2008 and 2009 both against Kirkstall.\n1st XI[edit]\nAWSCL Division A :- 1937, 1939, 1942, 1943, 1966(JOINT), 1974, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1992, 1993\nWaddilove Cup:- 1942, 1943, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1972, 1976, 1981, 1985, 1987, 1988\n2nd XI[edit]\nAWSCL Division A:- 1988, 1993, 2013\nBirtwhistle Cup:- 1986, 1994\n3rd XI[edit]\nAWSCL Champions:- 2013,\nClub awards[edit]\nBurmah Oil Trophy:- 1974, 1986, 1988, 1993\nOtley enjoyed a terrific season in 2013 with silverware being brought to Cross Green for the first time since 1994.

        "raw_content": "Figure 1: A simple voltage divider\nIn electronics, a voltage divider (also known as a potential divider) is a passive linear circuit that produces an output voltage (Vout) that is a fraction of its input voltage (Vin). Voltage division is the result of distributing the input voltage among the components of the divider. A simple example of a voltage divider is two resistors connected in series, with the input voltage applied across the resistor pair and the output voltage emerging from the connection between them.\nResistor voltage dividers are commonly used to create reference voltages, or to reduce the magnitude of a voltage so it can be measured, and may also be used as signal attenuators at low frequencies. For direct current and relatively low frequencies, a voltage divider may be sufficiently accurate if made only of resistors; where frequency response over a wide range is required (such as in an oscilloscope probe), a voltage divider may have capacitive elements added to compensate load capacitance. In electric power transmission, a capacitive voltage divider is used for measurement of high voltage.\n1 General case\n2.1 Resistive divider\n2.2 Low-pass RC filter\n2.3 Inductive divider\n2.4 Capacitive divider\n3 Loading effect\n4.1 Sensor measurement\n4.2 High voltage measurement\n4.3 Logic level shifting\nA voltage divider referenced to ground is created by connecting two electrical impedances in series, as shown in Figure 1. The input voltage is applied across the series impedances Z1 and Z2 and the output is the voltage across Z2. Z1 and Z2 may be composed of any combination of elements such as resistors, inductors and capacitors.\nIf the current in the output wire is zero then the relationship between the input voltage, Vin, and the output voltage, Vout, is:\nV o u t = Z 2 Z 1 + Z 2 \u22c5 V i n {\\displaystyle V_{\\mathrm {out} }={\\frac {Z_{2}}{Z_{1}+Z_{2}}}\\cdot V_{\\mathrm {in} }}\nProof (using Ohm's Law):\nV i n = I \u22c5 ( Z 1 + Z 2 ) {\\displaystyle V_{\\mathrm {in} }=I\\cdot (Z_{1}+Z_{2})}\nV o u t = I \u22c5 Z 2 {\\displaystyle V_{\\mathrm {out} }=I\\cdot Z_{2}}\nI = V i n Z 1 + Z 2 {\\displaystyle I={\\frac {V_{\\mathrm {in} }}{Z_{1}+Z_{2}}}}\nV o u t = V i n \u22c5 Z 2 Z 1 + Z 2 {\\displaystyle V_{\\mathrm {out} }=V_{\\mathrm {in} }\\cdot {\\frac {Z_{2}}{Z_{1}+Z_{2}}}}\nThe transfer function (also known as the divider's voltage ratio) of this circuit is:\nH = V o u t V i n = Z 2 Z 1 + Z 2 {\\displaystyle H={\\frac {V_{\\mathrm {out} }}{V_{\\mathrm {in} }}}={\\frac {Z_{2}}{Z_{1}+Z_{2}}}}\nIn general this transfer function is a complex, rational function of frequency.\nResistive divider[edit]\nFigure 2: Simple resistive voltage divider\nA resistive divider is the case where both impedances, Z1 and Z2, are purely resistive (Figure 2).\nSubstituting Z1 = R1 and Z2 = R2 into the previous expression gives:\nV o u t = R 2 R 1 + R 2 \u22c5 V i n {\\displaystyle V_{\\mathrm {out} }={\\frac {R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}}\\cdot V_{\\mathrm {in} }}\nIf R1 = R2 then\nV o u t = 1 2 \u22c5 V i n {\\displaystyle V_{\\mathrm {out} }={\\frac {1}{2}}\\cdot V_{\\mathrm {in} }}\nIf Vout=6V and Vin=9V (both commonly used voltages), then:\nV o u t V i n = R 2 R 1 + R 2 = 6 9 = 2 3 {\\displaystyle {\\frac {V_{\\mathrm {out} }}{V_{\\mathrm {in} }}}={\\frac {R_{2}}{R_{1}+R_{2}}}={\\frac {6}{9}}={\\frac {2}{3}}}\nand by solving using algebra, R2 must be twice the value of R1.\nTo solve for R1:\nR 1 = R 2 \u22c5 V i n V o u t \u2212 R 2 = R 2 \u22c5 ( V i n V o u t \u2212 1 ) {\\displaystyle R_{1}={\\frac {R_{2}\\cdot V_{\\mathrm {in} }}{V_{\\mathrm {out} }}}-R_{2}=R_{2}\\cdot \\left({{\\frac {V_{\\mathrm {in} }}{V_{\\mathrm {out} }}}-1}\\right)}\nR 2 = R 1 \u22c5 1 ( V i n V o u t \u2212 1 ) {\\displaystyle R_{2}=R_{1}\\cdot {\\frac {1}{\\left({{\\frac {V_{\\mathrm {in} }}{V_{\\mathrm {out} }}}-1}\\right)}}}\nAny ratio Vout/Vin greater than 1 is not possible. That is, using resistors alone it is not possible to either invert the voltage or increase Vout above Vin.\nLow-pass RC filter[edit]\nFigure 3: Resistor/capacitor voltage divider\nConsider a divider consisting of a resistor and capacitor as shown in Figure 3.\nComparing with the general case, we see Z1 = R and Z2 is the impedance of the capacitor, given by\nZ 2 = \u2212 j X C = 1 j \u03c9 C , {\\displaystyle Z_{2}=-\\mathrm {j} X_{\\mathrm {C} }={\\frac {1}{\\mathrm {j} \\omega C}}\\ ,}\nwhere XC is the reactance of the capacitor, C is the capacitance of the capacitor, j is the imaginary unit, and \u03c9 (omega) is the radian frequency of the input voltage.\nThis divider will then have the voltage ratio:\nV o u t V i n = Z 2 Z 1 + Z 2 = 1 j \u03c9 C 1 j \u03c9 C + R = 1 1 + j \u03c9 R C . {\\displaystyle {\\frac {V_{\\mathrm {out} }}{V_{\\mathrm {in} }}}={\\frac {Z_{\\mathrm {2} }}{Z_{\\mathrm {1} }+Z_{\\mathrm {2} }}}={\\frac {\\frac {1}{\\mathrm {j} \\omega C}}{{\\frac {1}{\\mathrm {j} \\omega C}}+R}}={\\frac {1}{1+\\mathrm {j} \\omega RC}}\\ .}\nThe product \u03c4 (tau) = RC is called the time constant of the circuit.\nThe ratio then depends on frequency, in this case decreasing as frequency increases. This circuit is, in fact, a basic (first-order) lowpass filter. The ratio contains an imaginary number, and actually contains both the amplitude and phase shift information of the filter. To extract just the amplitude ratio, calculate the magnitude of the ratio, that is:\n| V o u t V i n | = 1 1 + ( \u03c9 R C ) 2 . {\\displaystyle \\left|{\\frac {V_{\\mathrm {out} }}{V_{\\mathrm {in} }}}\\right|={\\frac {1}{\\sqrt {1+(\\omega RC)^{2}}}}\\ .}\nInductive divider[edit]\nInductive dividers split AC input according to inductance:\nV o u t = L 2 L 1 + L 2 \u22c5 V i n {\\displaystyle V_{\\mathrm {out} }={\\frac {L_{2}}{L_{1}+L_{2}}}\\cdot V_{\\mathrm {in} }}\nThe above equation is for non-interacting inductors; mutual inductance (as in an autotransformer) will alter the results.\nInductive dividers split DC input according to the resistance of the elements as for the resistive divider above.\nCapacitive divider[edit]\nCapacitive dividers do not pass DC input.\nFor an AC input a simple capacitive equation is:\nV o u t = C 1 C 1 + C 2 \u22c5 V i n {\\displaystyle V_{\\mathrm {out} }={\\frac {C_{1}}{C_{1}+C_{2}}}\\cdot V_{\\mathrm {in} }}\nAny leakage current in the capactive elements requires use of the generalized expression with two impedances. By selection of parallel R and C elements in the proper proportions, the same division ratio can be maintained over a useful range of frequencies. This is the principle applied in compensated oscilloscope probes to increase measurement bandwidth.\nLoading effect[edit]\nThe output voltage of a voltage divider will vary according to the electric current it is supplying to its external electrical load. The effective source impedance coming from a divider of Z1 and Z2, as above, will be Z1 in parallel with Z2 (sometimes written Z1 // Z2), that is: (Z1 Z2) / (Z1 + Z2)=HZ1.\nTo obtain a sufficiently stable output voltage, the output current must either be stable (and so be made part of the calculation of the potential divider values) or limited to an appropriately small percentage of the divider's input current. Load sensitivity can be decreased by reducing the impedance of both halves of the divider, though this increases the divider's quiescent input current and results in higher power consumption (and wasted heat) in the divider. Voltage regulators are often used in lieu of passive voltage dividers when it is necessary to accommodate high or fluctuating load currents.\nVoltage dividers are used for adjusting the level of a signal, for bias of active devices in amplifiers, and for measurement of voltages. A Wheatstone bridge and a multimeter both include voltage dividers. A potentiometer is used as a variable voltage divider in the volume control of many radios.\nSensor measurement[edit]\nVoltage dividers can be used to allow a microcontroller to measure the resistance of a sensor.[1] The sensor is wired in series with a known resistance to form a voltage divider and a known voltage is applied across the divider. The microcontroller's analog-to-digital converter is connected to the center tap of the divider so that it can measure the tap voltage and, by using the measured voltage and the known resistance and voltage, compute the sensor resistance. An example that is commonly used involves a potentiometer (variable resistor) as one of the resistive elements. When the shaft of the potentiometer is rotated the resistance it produces either increases or decreases, the change in resistance corresponds to the angular change of the shaft. If coupled with a stable voltage reference, the output voltage can be fed into an analog-to-digital converter and a display can show the angle. Such circuits are commonly used in reading control knobs. Note that it is highly beneficial for the potentiometer to have a linear taper, as the microcontroller or other circuit reading the signal must otherwise correct for the non-linearity in its calculations.\nHigh voltage measurement[edit]\nHigh voltage resistor divider probe.\nA voltage divider can be used to scale down a very high voltage so that it can be measured by a volt meter. The high voltage is applied across the divider, and the divider output\u2014which outputs a lower voltage that is within the meter's input range\u2014is measured by the meter. High voltage resistor divider probes designed specifically for this purpose can be used to measure voltages up to 100 kV. Special high-voltage resistors are used in such probes as they must be able to tolerate high input voltages and, to produce accurate results, must have matched temperature coefficients and very low voltage coefficients. Capacitive divider probes are typically used for voltages above 100 kV, as the heat caused by power losses in resistor divider probes at such high voltages could be excessive.\nLogic level shifting[edit]\nA voltage divider can be used as a crude logic level shifter to interface two circuits that use different operating voltages. For example, some logic circuits operate at 5V whereas others operate at 3.3V. Directly interfacing a 5V logic output to a 3.3V input may cause permanent damage to the 3.3V circuit. In this case, a voltage divider with an output ratio of 3.3/5 might be used to reduce the 5V signal to 3.3V, to allow the circuits to interoperate without damaging the 3.3V circuit. For this to be feasible, the 5V source impedance and 3.3V input impedance must be negligible, or they must be constant and the divider resistor values must account for their impedances. If the input impedance is capacitive, a purely resistive divider will limit the data rate. This can be roughly overcome by adding a capacitor in series with the top resistor, to make both legs of the divider capacitive as well as resistive.\n^ \"A very quick and dirty introduction to Sensors, Microcontrollers, and Electronics\" (PDF).

        "raw_content": "Public Health England sharing information\nIf the Health Protection Agency or its successor, or the relevant local director of public health or equivalent official, becomes concerned that a provider\u2019s management of healthcare associated infections is or may be inadequate to provide sufficient protection of patients or public safety, they should immediately inform all responsible commissioners, including the relevant regional office of the NHS Commissioning Board, the Care Quality Commission and, where relevant, Monitor, of those concerns. Sharing of such information should not be regarded as an action of last resort. It should review its procedures to ensure clarity of responsibility for taking this action.\nPublic Health England is reviewing its governance framework which underpins its responsibilities (in partnership with local, regional and national partners) for sharing and escalating concerns. As part of this work and as new structures emerge, Public Health England is revisiting and updating its internal operational guidelines, which provide a standardised risk-based approach within the framework, for its regional centres. This work formalises the process whereby Public Health England internally escalates, and informs local and national commissioners and regulators about, any concerns they might have regarding the management of Healthcare Associated Infection-related risks linked with health and adult social care providers (e.g. during outbreaks and incidents of infectious diseases).\nA peer support toolkit, previously developed by the Health Protection Agency (whose functions were transferred into Public Health England from 1 April 2013), is also under review. The toolkit clarifies the process whereby expert and peer support might be offered to, or requested by, healthcare providers. It includes recommended timelines, and the format the advice might take, as deemed appropriate for the situation.\nFollowing discussions with the key parties outlined in this recommendation, joint draft proposals are being developed to share expertise across all the key stakeholders in relation to infection, including those that are healthcare associated. These stakeholders include the Care Quality Commission, Monitor, NHS England and the NHS Trust Development Authority. The draft proposals strengthen current practices on information sharing among these organisations and will also establish an agreed set of principles and information flows setting out the lines of communication for sharing information where there are concerns that may require further investigation. The overarching principles and lines of communication were established in July 2013.\nPublic Health England has been undertaking work to review and revise arrangements for the sharing of information and escalation of concerns relating to the management of healthcare associated infections by health and adult social care providers. This includes procedures for internal escalation within Public Health England and escalation to relevant external bodies, such as commissioners and regulators, both locally and nationally. This work is being undertaken within the context of an organisation-wide strategic review, which includes consideration of the management of public health priorities to ensure Public Health England can fulfil its role of leading the public health system and deliver its responsibilities in the most efficient and effective way.\nSet in this context, escalation procedures have been updated and will be finally outlined within updated operational guidance for Public Health England Centres, aimed at improving the quality and consistency of the advice and support Public Health England Centres offer to provider organisations in relation to healthcare associated infections. Public Health England\u2019s operational guidance has been re-written to reflect the changes to structures within the health and social care sector in England and to outline the requirements relating to the Antimicrobial Resistance agenda. It is currently being prepared for internal consultation with a view to publication before the end of march 2015. Public Health England\u2019s work to update this operational guidance will be further finessed by the recommendations resulting from its own internal strategic review. This document encompasses the updated escalation algorithm and is scheduled for publication by end of March 2015. Public Health England is also considering how it will integrate proportionate expert support into the escalation process as requested or deemed necessary according to the level of concern.\nAdditionally, Public Health England is working to integrate this approach into a high-level overview of the escalation steps in relation to sharing concerns about healthcare associated infections aligned to incident levels within Public Health England\u2019s National Incident Response Plan. This work is being undertaken with partners, including the Department of Health, NHS England, the Care Quality Commission, Monitor and the NHS Trust Development Authority. Public Health England will continue to monitor the agreed ways of working between the organisations and undertake work to strengthen, these informed by any changes or recommendations arising from its strategic review.",

        "raw_content": "Donald Trump\u2019s Oval Office Address Was An Embarrassment\nHome/Life/USA/The Christian Right\u2019s Misconceptions on Church-State Separation\nThe Christian Right\u2019s Misconceptions on Church-State Separation\nGwenda Kaczor for The Chronicle Review\nIn the civics class I\u2019ve been taking this year, we were forced to go through one of those generic units that discusses and Constitution and the Bill of Rights and the founding of the United States. As part of that unit, we had a discussion a little over a week ago about church-state separation as it appears in the Constitution and in law.\nNow, my class has had a substitute teacher in for our regular teacher for a few weeks due to personal reasons, and like most lazy substitute teachers, she decided to intro our discussion with a YouTube video about church-state separation. Unfortunately, she didn\u2019t review the video she showed the class beforehand, and as a result, she ended up showing the following video.\nBefore you continue reading this, I highly recommend you watch the video just to see the level we\u2019re on here.\nThis video was effectively Christian propaganda. It was disgusting manipulation of facts, selectively choosing information and relying on traditional logical fallacies and myths used by Christians in debates to make the argument that church-state separation shouldn\u2019t exist.\nAs an atheist, I\u2019ve had quite a few debates with Christians, so I\u2019ve encountered a lot of the misconceptions and flawed arguments they\u2019ve used before, but this video reached a new frontier for me. Church-state separation is so ingrained in modern American thinking and so explicitly stated and defended in law that I couldn\u2019t even imagine that someone would try to challenge it, but that\u2019s exactly was this video did.\nThis short three minute video was enough to cause me to go digging deeper online once I got home, looking at what people are saying about church-state separation, and from what I found, this video perfectly encapsulates the debate. This video combines nearly all of the points made by the Christian right for why church-state separation doesn\u2019t exist or shouldn\u2019t exist, and most arguments in favor of church-state separation at least address these Christian arguments in some way.\nSo, I want to set the record straight permanently. If this decently produced video is making these points, and the same points are being echoed by angry commenters on internet forums, then it\u2019s pretty safe to say that this is the general line of thinking among conservative Christians when it comes to church-state separation, and since nearly all of these points are wrong or incredibly misleading, I\u2019m going to look at them one by one and address them.\nThe words \u201cSeparation of Church and State\u201d aren\u2019t in the Constitution\nSo, this is technically correct, but also incredibly misleading. The video uses this fact to imply that, since the specific phrase isn\u2019t in the Constitution, then the concept of separation of church and state isn\u2019t there either. That is false.\nFor anyone who believes this, I would like to direct you to the first amendment, which reads \u201cCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.\u201d\nThe first amendment makes it very clear that the government is not permitted to favor a religion or prohibit the people from worshiping freely. Allowing a religion\u2019s beliefs directly influence government policy, which is what the absence of church-state separation would bring, would definitely be the government favoring that religion.\nChurch-State Separation was embedded in law by Justice Hugo Black, a racist, Catholic hating, KKK member, and it\u2019s being used to harm people of faith\nOkay, so, this part of the video is sort of valid.\nThe video states that, in the 1947 case of Everson v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court made a decision to apply the Establishment Clause to states. What this means is that, before the case, states were allowed to ignore the first amendment in the Constitution and passed laws favoring or disenfranchising certain religions, but after the decision was handed down, states couldn\u2019t do that anymore.\nThe video also says that, before he was on the Supreme Court, Justice Black was a member of the KKK, who were vocal racists and anti-Catholics who included church-state separation as part of their creed.\nAll of this is true, and the video uses this to imply that Justice Black made his decision based on his own racist and hateful views, and because the video conveniently ignores the first amendment, this is apparently the first time that church-state separation was introduced into law, and it\u2019s been used ever since to persecute people of faith. This last part is a little less logical.\nFor starters, it\u2019s not like Black was alone in making this decision. Four other Supreme Court Justices who weren\u2019t part of the KKK joined with Black to make the 5\u20134 verdict, and it\u2019s pretty safe to say that those justices were basing their decision on the facts, not their own racist views.\nSecondly, as we\u2019ve already addressed, this isn\u2019t the first time church-state separation was introduced into law. It was explicitly stated in the first amendment already, and this decision was simply applying it to state governments along with the federal government.\nFinally, and this is probably the worst part of the argument, the video makes the worn out claim that church-state separation is being used to persecute and silence people of faith in the US. This is blatantly false.\nAt its core, separation of church and state is about keeping the church from deciding policies within the government, and keeping the government from meddling with the operations of the church. The video tries to say that it\u2019s being used to silence religious people, but it\u2019s not. It\u2019s just trying to keep the church from controlling the government.\nThere\u2019s this meme on Reddit that\u2019s been shared around quite a bit that reads \u201cWe tried a Christian society run by the rich, it was called the Dark Ages for a reason\u201d, and while it\u2019s meant to be a joke, it does make a solid point about religion in government. Throughout history, we\u2019ve tried to have governments controlled by the church, and they usually don\u2019t end up that great.\nEven just looking at modern times with Iran and Saudi Arabia, you can see that having the church controlling government policy and actions doesn\u2019t always have the best outcome.\nWhen the founding fathers were making America, they wanted to do everything they could to keep the religious elite from controlling the government, which is why the Establishment Clause exists. It isn\u2019t some attempt to silence religious people, it\u2019s a promise that we will ensure that the church and state are separate, and that we can have a government that lets the church be independent and serves the interests of the people, not just the interests of the church.\nIn modern times, religious people aren\u2019t being silenced or marginalized by church-state separation. If anything, they\u2019re thriving.\nAccording to stats from 2016, 73.7% of the US population is Christian, with another 2.1% being Jewish and 0.8% being Muslim. This means that religious people, mostly Christians, make up an overwhelming majority of the population.\nOf course, being the majority doesn\u2019t guarantee fairness under the law. Just look at Iraq in the late 1900\u2019s and early 2000\u2019s, where the dictator Saddam Hussein and a Sunni minority worked to suppress the Shiite majority.\nThe real question then is if the government is suppressing religious people, especially Christians, and the answer to that is hell no.\nAccording to the Pew Research Center, 88.2% of representatives in the 116th Congress described themselves as Christian, meaning that they hold a massive majority. On top of that, multiple ballot measures were passed in 2018 that were clearly favoring people of faith, such as Alabama allowing the ten commandments to be displayed in public and West Virginia restricting public abortion funding.\nThat\u2019s not to mention that pro-Christian bills get proposed in state and federal government all the time, like a Florida Democrat introducing a bill to mandate Bible classes in public school, and it\u2019s very clear that Christian activists and lobbies, like the one that made this video, still have a massive indirect influence on policies made in Washington and elsewhere.\nSo, what should we take away from this?\nThe first thing is that Christians seem to have no idea what the hell they\u2019re talking about when it comes to opposing church-state separation. Of the arguments made in this video, they were almost entirely based in manipulated facts and logical fallacies.\nThey made the blatantly false statement that the Constitution doesn\u2019t include church-state separation, and used this to redefine what it is, they tried to imply that the only reason church-state separation exists is because of the decision of a racist, anti-Catholic Supreme Court Justice and they topped it all off by playing Christianity\u2019s oh-so-reliable persecution card.\nNone of these arguments are sound and none of them disprove the idea that we need to separate the affairs of the church from the affairs of the state, but unfortunately, they\u2019ve been perpetuated by for so long by Christian activists that many people are starting to believe them and base their opinions off of them.\nIn reality, Christians should support church-state separation just as much as atheists, since it keeps them free from government control. While this video does make that argument, it also tries to claim that religion should be allowed to influence government due to nonexistent gaps in the law, and that is where it all breaks down.\nIt\u2019s not a matter of background or political opinion, or at least, it shouldn\u2019t, because if you take a few minutes to sit down and read about the history of theocracy, you\u2019ll see why we need a secular government more than ever.\nFilm Analysis by an Anarchist: Lady Bird (2017)\nCorruption at the Highest Levels of Czech Conglomerate OKD\nCRTV\u2019s \u2018Louder With Crowder\u2019 Launches New Segment: \u2018Devil\u2019s Advocate\u2019\nPentingnya Membangkitkan Akal Sehat dan Sikap Adil di Pemilu 2019\nThe Paradox of Distributive Social Justice, and What Is To Be Done?\n5 Calls 2018 Midterm Challenge Week 7: All Hands On Deck!\nFaith Goldy is not fit to be Toronto\u2019s next mayor\nWhat did we learn from this year\u2019s Britain Against Cancer Conference?\nPresident Trump, U.S. Senator Pastore and Chief Justice Roberts\nRemembering the past, being in the present, looking forward to a better future\nRep.

India and Pakistan had announced on 15th of this month that they will build Corridors on their respective sides to let Sikh pilgrims visit the holy shrine without the visa and to help them walk across and come back.\nUnion ministers Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Hardeep Puri will travel to Pakistan to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kartarpur corridor for Sikh pilgrims on Wednesday. External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj was also invited by Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi to attend the ceremony but she will not be able to attend the ceremony because of prior commitments.\nMeanwhile, Pakistan has welcomed India\u2019s decision to send its two Union ministers to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kartarpur corridor next week and termed it as a positive response.\nForeign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said India has responded well to Pakistan\u2019s initiative in its bid to bring the Sikh community closer. The Minister told this yesterday during his visit to the stall of Indian High Commission at the Pakistan Foreign Office Women\u2019s Association charity bazaar.\nThe Sikh community in America also hailed the government\u2019s decision to build a religious corridor. Jasdip Singh, the chairman of the Sikhs of America said the Indian government\u2019s decision to develop and open the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor is historic and this is a beginning for the greater good of the region and the humanity.\nThe Indian side of Corridor will start from Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur district and extends up to International border. The project corridor is to be developed by the National Highways Authority of India and will be funded by the Centre. The project corridor is four-lane with service road and all other appropriate amenities for pilgrims intending to visit Gurudwara Darbar Sahib, Kartarpur in Pakistan.\nKartarpur Sahib in Pakistan is located across the river Ravi, about four kilometres from the Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Punjab\u2019s Gurdaspur district. It was established by the Sikh Guru in 1522. The first Gurdwara, Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib, was built here, where Guru Nanak Dev is said to have died. The corridor, once built, will give Indian pilgrims easy access to the shrine and boost the tourism in the region.",

        "raw_content": "2017 was my first year as a completely freelance musician, however I kind of crashed my way into it without really thinking about how challenging it would be. In hindsight I probably should have devised a plan, but I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t think too hard about it, because 2017 was also the year I decided to dive head-first into an extremely challenging personal project. I doubt my plan would have included such a time and emotionally rich investment, yet The Song-Chain Project turned out to be one of the most rewarding things I\u2019ve ever done.\nIf you were reading my blog while I was working on the Project you\u2019ll know that I stopped in July. I was really hard on myself for quitting, yet again with hindsight I see that I should have been much kinder. The year was bound to be difficult, and if I\u2019d been expecting challenges I might have been more prepared for them when they arrived.\nThis post by Brittany Bathgate came to me through the Women Who newsletter, and this quote really stuck with me:\n\u201cthe mental, physical and financial challenges that come with working for yourself is a huge topic, but discussing it and overcoming the battle in small chunks is better than brushing it under the carpet entirely.\"\nWhen I ended the Song-Chain Project I absolutely brushed the challenges of freelance work under the carpet. I tried a few times to articulate what made me stop, in draft blog posts that remain unpublished. The closest I came was this interview with Nikos Fotakis, although it doesn\u2019t really touch on the financial and emotional challenges of freelance work that put an end to the Project, and that I have spent the last six months addressing.\nI like that Brittany\u2019s post talks about some of the things she\u2019s done to make her life as a freelancer easier, and so I think I\u2019ll follow her lead. These are a few things that have helped me in my first year of freelancing, and I hope they give you some ideas if you\u2019re struggling on your own freelance journey. I\u2019ve opened comments for this post, so please get in touch with any questions or thoughts on the topic.\nCreate a freelancer\u2019s Fuck Off Fund\nIn our Mind Over Myth chat, my friend Emilee Seymour talks about freelance work being \u201cfeast or famine\u201d, and this has been the most difficult aspect of my last year as a freelancer. Taking inspiration from Paulette Perhach\u2019s Fuck Off Fund, I now have a separate bank account that I use as my freelancer\u2019s Fuck Off Fund. Having a small financial safety net has been a wonderful weight off my shoulders, as I know that I have the money to cover my living expenses should something happen that means I can\u2019t teach or perform. It also lets me spend time working on projects that are for creative fulfillment, rather than immediate financial gain, without feeling guilty or stressed about where my next paycheck is coming from.\nTo give a practical perspective, I made a very detailed budget for my personal and business expenses (including yearly expenses like car registration or instrument insurance that always seem to pop up at the most inconvenient time), and worked out my weekly cost of living and running my freelance business. I now transfer this weekly amount into my Fund, trying to keep at least four weeks ahead. My aim is to eventually be three, or even six, months ahead, which would give me a lot of freedom to work creatively, and to build my career in the direction I\u2019d like it to go.\nI realised through The Song-Chain Project that I don\u2019t have a very good relationship with social media. I feel much happier without it, when I\u2019m allowed to just hermit myself away and work on creative things, but that\u2019s not a very good way to build a career as a creative freelancer. When you work by yourself at home you can easily fall into unproductive scrolling habits, not to mention comparisons with all those other freelancers who seem to have it together and are experiencing all kinds of wins in their careers.\nI did take a break from all social media for several months last year, and since returning I\u2019ve been trying to manage it better. I\u2019ve implemented a \u201cdump and run\u201d strategy, so posting what I need to post and then getting straight out of there. I can log in at a later time to interact with people and respond to any interaction on my own content. I like posting right before I have to go teach or rehearse, that way my mind is instantly occupied with something else. I have also been using an Android app called Offtime to restrict my access to apps for parts of the day. When it\u2019s running you get a nice black screen that says \u201cRelax, your device is at peace\u201d, and that really does make me feel much calmer and ready to work.\nLike Brittany, I have been exercising much more than I used to. Swimming is my favourite, as I find that I don\u2019t think about anything but the rhythm of my (not very graceful) swimming stroke while I\u2019m in the pool. The past few months have been busier than usual, and so I haven\u2019t found much time for swimming, and I am noticing the stress creeping back. To get back into routine I\u2019ve made an appointment with myself for a Friday evening swim, and I recognise the need to prioritise physical activity in my routine, even when it gets crazy.\nI think figuring out pricing is difficult for any new freelancer. Our prices often don't reflect the work and expense that actually goes into delivering a service. I make an income as both a private music teacher and a freelance performer. Both require me to maintain my instrumental and vocal skills, prepare material, engage in my own professional development, and do the boring admin stuff like invoicing, corresponding with clients and other musicians, and marketing. I also have limited hours each day to teach and perform, with after work and weekends being the prime time for both. I recently revisited my prices to better reflect the time and work involved in what I do, and it has helped me stop taking on too much in order to make ends meet. It also gives me more freedom to work on my own practice, which in turn makes me both a better teacher and performer.\nMake time for daily practice\nI\u2019m not sure how freelancers in other industries feel about this one, but for me daily practice on my instrument or composing is essential to my sense of self worth. Recently I\u2019ve been caught up in the admin side of releasing a record, and practice and writing have taken a back seat. Today I picked up my bass and had a play, and I was struck with how good it made me feel. Working on something new gave me a sense of pride and achievement that I don\u2019t have when I\u2019m heavily engaged in pitching and promoting my work. Working as a creative freelancer means giving ourselves the space and chance to do what we love. Making music is what I love, and so the other work I do needs to facilitate my being able to do just that.\nPosts about freelancing\nSCP: A Break",

        "raw_content": "Inertia or inaction? blood pressure management and cardiovascular risk in diabetes\nRetegan, C.\nRockell, M.\nJennings, G.\nDiabetes is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the presence of comorbidities, such as hypertension, markedly increases CVD risk. The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of hypertension management in patients with diabetes. The cvTRAC Study was a cross-sectional study of CVD risk factors in primary care practices across Australia. General medical practitioners enrolled patients they considered to be at increased risk of CVD and reported on cardiovascular disease history, CVD risk factor levels and current therapy. In all, 9857 men and 8332 women with diabetes participated in the study, with > ;85% having at least two CVD risk factors in addition to diabetes and 68% having a history of hypertension. Lost therapeutic benefit in diabetes patients with hypertension was seen in those who were failing to meet targets on antihypertensive drug therapy (therapeutic inertia: > ;73% of the hypertensive cohort), with a smaller proportion accounted for by those who met prescribing guidelines but were not being treated pharmacologically (treatment gap: 5.4% of the hypertensive cohort). Lack of compliance with lifestyle guidelines was estimated to account for over 8% of those not meeting blood pressure targets. Age (odds ratio (OR) 0.983, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.980-0.986; P < 0.001), compliance with physical activity guidelines (OR 1.219, 95% CI 1.088-1.366; P = 0.001) and compliance with dietary guidelines (OR 1.298, 95% CI 1.188-1.420; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of target blood pressure attainment in the diabetic population. Deficiencies in pharmacological and lifestyle-related therapeutic strategies contribute to suboptimal hypertension management in diabetes. Therapeutic inertia is a greater contributor to lost therapeutic benefit than treatment gap in this population. \u00a9 2009 Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd.\nOwen, A. and Retegan, C. and Rockell, M. and Jennings, G. and Reid, C. 2009.

        "title": "Find Out about the Best Analysis Paper Topics with Our Help",
        "raw_content": "Impressive Analysis Paper Topics\nAn analysis essay is an academic task assigned in many colleges and universities. The primary goal of this assignment is to check the students` ability to think analytically, build logical conclusions, as well as evaluate their organizational skills. When writing such an essay, you need to make up a strong multifaceted topic. For instance, when it comes to literature, you may discuss the nature of the relationships between the characters in the novel. Sometimes, the professor wants you to apply a creative approach, and therefore, he/she allows you to select the analysis paper topics on your own. If you are free to choose any topic, you can use your imagination and write about something that is truly creative and thought provoking. Below you will find the list of topics that can be good for analytical essay writing:\nShould employer consider the applicant`s degree before accepting his/her candidacy?\nGun control in America: pro and against.\nIs the universal healthcare a good idea?\nShould the banking system be more regulated to ensure that it would not cause the economic problems?\nShould religion take part in creating the laws?\nIs social media harmful or beneficial for the young people?\nIs gay marriage approval a sign of tolerance?\nAre the political debates an effective instrument for persuading the voters?\nUndoubtedly, all of these topics have been discussed in the media previously. It is the obvious benefit since you will be able to gather enough relevant material to write your essay. As such, pick up the topic that seems truly interesting to you and you will be able to write an exemplary paper.\nAlso, to write a good analysis essay, you need to apply a scientific method in reverse. It means that before writing, you have to think about the conclusion you want to reach. When researching, you need to make sure there is enough information or evidence to support your conclusion. Moreover, it would be great to check if there are no knockout arguments to defeat your conclusion. When the proper research is done, it is time to formulate the research question that will be developed in your analysis essay. You have to organize the flow of your thoughts in such a way so that your conclusion could appear naturally from the arguments discussed in the essay. What is more, your conclusion should never introduce the things that were not mentioned previously.\nThe fundamental aim of every student, who needs to write an analysis paper, is to evaluate the event, social phenomena, or the specific text. To do it well, the student should start with giving the relevant background information, so that the reader could understand the topic better. We have gathered the list of powerful analysis paper topics along with the short guidelines of essay writing.\nObesity. Nowadays, obesity is one of the most crucial problems in healthcare since many people, both from the developed and underdeveloped countries, suffer from it. As such, you can examine the daily life of obese people, as well as the influence of this disease on the human health. Including the relevant statistics from the worldwide agencies, as well as other relevant facts, you will receive the desired outcome.\nHomelessness. Writing on this topic, you can explore any issue related to homelessness in your community. Writing your essay, you may tell how the society addresses this issue. Include the statistics and tell how many homeless people are there in your community. To prove your arguments, you can attach the links to videos about the homeless people.\nInternational adoption. This issue is particularly controversial, thus, it can become a good topic for an analysis essay. International adoptions become more and more popular in the US and other countries. Writing an essay on this topic, do not hesitate to tell what are the benefits and shortcomings of international adoption. In addition, you can examine the problems that the family faces when adopting a child from another country.\nDiscuss the movie based on the book. Analyze the essential similarities and differences between the book and the film. Tell if the director has managed to transfer the atmosphere of the book into the movie. Explain how well the scenario was adapted?\nDrug use in sports. Select the sport or a particular athlete and explain the problem of drug use. Analyze the causes and consequences of steroids use. In addition, you can focus on the outcome of the use of steroids for an athlete.\nDiscuss the gender roles. Nowadays, the traditional gender roles are changed. Tell about the consequences of such a change. Explain the peculiarities of the feminist movement and tell about the cultures, which maintain traditional roles in the 21st century.\nDescribe a great movie. This movie should be related to your course or discipline. Give the brief description of the movie plot and analyze the motivation of the main characters.\nExplore the issue of the influence of TV shows on the human life.

        "title": "Jaguar-Land Rover's 2017 sales goal? Half of Mercedes-Benz",
        "raw_content": "Jaguar Land Rover's 2017 sales goal? Half of Mercedes\nExecs predict new products, especially the Discovery and Defender, will fuel growth\nThe Land Rover Discovery Sport, pictured, and Jaguar XE are among the vehicles due in the coming years.\nPARIS -- Jaguar Land Rover executives are confident that new products in new segments will drive their global sales sharply higher in three years.\nBut they're cagey about just how much higher, eschewing hard numbers for clues that point to more than 700,000 vehicles.\nAndy Goss, global group sales operations director, said he doesn't expect Jaguar Land Rover's worldwide sales in 2017 to double from the 425,006 vehicles sold last year. So that's fewer than 850,012 vehicles.\nBut Goss said volume will rise to about half that of Jaguar Land Rover's smallest German luxury rival. That's Mercedes-Benz, which sold 1.5 million vehicles last year. Half of that is 750,000. But Goss did not predict how many vehicles Mercedes would sell in 2017, keeping Jaguar Land Rover's expectations for its own sales a mystery.\nGoss said much of Jaguar Land Rover's growth will come from Land Rover, which is developing two vehicle families -- midrange luxury Discovery and entry-luxury Defender -- to join the upper-end Range Rover family. The result, he said, will be three \"legs,\" or vehicle families, for Land Rover.\nGoss: Three \"legs\" for Land Rover\nThe Discovery range, with at least three vehicles, will be sporty. The compact seven-seat Discovery Sport was unveiled last month at the Paris auto show and the larger Discovery concept debuted in April at the New York auto show, he said.\n\"Three years from now, you will see a fully mature Discovery leg,\" Goss said.\nThe Defender lineup will be the utilitarian range, he said. The Defender hasn't been sold in the United States since 1974.\nThe revamped Defender family will be the last to debut and probably won't go on sale before 2017, Goss said.\n\"Internally, it is the next significant area of investment, and we are already well down the track to create a range of products where we can dial up utility,\" he said.\nJaguar is beginning to grow with the launch of the F-Type coupe and convertible and the compact XE sedan that goes on sale next year in Europe and in 2016 in the U.S.\nJaguar is beginning to grow with the launch of the F-Type coupe and convertible and the compact XE sedan, pictured, that goes on sale next year in Europe and in 2016 in the U.S.\nJaguar has shown a concept crossover but hasn't confirmed it will be built. Still, Goss said \"that type of vehicle\" will join the lineup.\nJaguar sales are hampered in the United States because the brand is trying to compete with a limited lineup against rivals with full portfolios, said Joe Eberhardt, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America. The XK convertible and coupe go out of production at year end, leaving Jaguar with the sporty XF coupe and convertible, the midsize XF and full-size XJ sedans.\nLast year, Jaguar's U.S. sales were 16,952 cars and Land Rover's were 50,010 vehicles. Through September, Jaguar's U.S. sales fell 5 percent to 11,830 cars and Land Rover's rose 9 percent to 38,424 vehicles.\nU.S. sales have been constrained by a product shortage, particularly at Land Rover with an 11-day supply of the Range Rover Sport and a 12-day supply of the Range Rover and Land Rover LR4, Eberhardt said.\nThe shortages will ease toward year end because Land Rover is adding production capacity in the United Kingdom, Goss said. In addition, Land Rover began building vehicles this year in China, where it has a 130,000-vehicle annual capacity, he said. In 18 months, production will begin in Brazil in a plant with a 24,000-vehicle annual capacity, he said.\nA new engine plant opened in the United Kingdom at the end of October. That will end another bottleneck, Goss said, because there has been a shortage of gasoline engines.",

In 1968 the Methodist Church joined with the Evangelical United Brethren Church to form the United Methodist Church, a global denomination of nearly ten million members.\nThe Excelsior Springs congregation formed in 1884. After occupying several buildings downtown, one of which burned in 1947, the First United Methodist Church of Excelsior Springs moved to its present location along Highway 69 in 1993.\nThe congregation of the First United Methodist Church knows that a church is not about what is happening inside, but what difference can be made on the outside. Living with the belief of being servants of God, FUMC regularly hold events in support and ministry of our veterans. Locally, FUMC houses Treehouse Preschool, the longest running preschool program in Excelsior Springs. FUMC donated thousands of pounds of food and financial support to the Good Samaritan Center and Meet the Need organizations. They adopt six families per year during the Christmas holiday. They provide diapers to new mothers every month with its Mighty Diapers ministry.\nGlobally, FUMC helped build a fresh water well in Mozambique, Africa and paid tuition for a Mozambique minister to finish school. They participate in the national Numana Food missions. They helped families rebuild in Houston after Hurricane Harvey.\nOur community missions are monthly events with no intention of stopping. The Grace of God has blessed our congregation, and with the Holy Spirit filling our hearts, we intend to use our talents and resources to make our world a better place to live.\nFUMC is a church planting seeds for the future.

        "raw_content": "Neurodegenerative Role of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Envelope Protein GP120 and Neuroprotective Role of Chemokines\nThis study is conducted in collaboration with Dr. Olimpia, Meucci, which is the project leader. Dr. Meucci is supported by the grants R01-DA15014-06 and R01-DA19808 from the National Institutes of Health (NIDA).\nHIV infection is associated to dementia in approximately 20% of individuals. As no convincing evidence exists that neurons are infected by the HIV, neuronal death seems likely induced through receptor-mediated mechanisms.\nCXCR4 and CCR5 chemokine receptors bind gp120 envelope protein and function as co-receptors for the HIV infection of immune cells. Dr. Olimpia Meucci has recently demonstrated that rat hyppocampal neurons express several chemokine receptors and recombinant gp120 can induce neuronal death while chemokines protect from gp120-induced neurotoxicity in vitro.\nIn collaboration with Meucci\u2019 group, we are currently attempting to characterize chemokine receptor functioning, including dimerization, internalization, changes in conformation and activation of downstream substrates in rat and human neurons in culture. Chemokine receptors dimerize upon binding with their agonist and this process is crucial for signaling. Crosslinking studies are performed in order to detect possible differences in receptor dimerization in response to chemokines and gp120. Co-immunoprecipitation is used to ask whether chemokine receptors interact with different sets of downstream substrates, such as GTP-binding proteins, following binding to chemokines and gp120.\nWe also aim to determine whether gp120 neurotoxicity is associated with perturbation of the cell cycle. Thus, we are investigating whether gp120 binding to chemokine receptors triggers the activation of proliferative pathways in terminally differentiated neuronal cells. For the same reason, we are exploring potential effects of gp120 on the expression of cyclin D1 and other oncogenes involved in G1 cell cycle progression.\nPBCC Presents Refunds for Research Grants at Drexel University College of M...

A moment of crisis in her life is analyzed by discussing the contexts of the federal \u201ccivilizing\u201d program, female domesticity, and Christian missions in Ojibwe country, all of which significantly influenced notions of identity about and among Indians in the region in the 19th century. Through examining discourse surrounding Susan\u2019s marriage engagement in 1880, Harper illustrates how hierarchies of \u201ccivilized\u201d and \u201crace\u201d awkwardly intersected as they produced tensions in conceptions of her identity. Harper gives particular attention to gendered aspects of colonialism in her examination of how missionaries sought to restructure Ojibwe communities by looking at the ways in which Ojibwe women both adapted and subverted forms of patriarchy, individualism, capitalism, and domesticity that were imposed in Native communities.\nMattie Harper (Bois Forte Band of Ojibwe) is a University of California President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UC Santa Cruz.

        "raw_content": "Mapping and Analysis of the school network of Makkah al-Mukarramah (Saudi Arabia), Jeddah Girls\u2019 secondary schools as Example\nMongi Belarem, Mohamed Hafedh Hamza*, Abdlhamed Jamil, Mohamed Ajmi\nDepartment of Geography and Geographic Information Systems, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, KSA\nThe study of the localization of girls\u2019 secondary schools in Jeddah shows that the school map is both a diagnostic and perspective tool for school policies. It is also a tool for research, for measuring accessibility and thus for helping decision-makers in the education sector (Ministry of education, regional education directorates, etc.) insofar as it makes it possible to visualize the scenarios of educational facilities. Through the present study, we have developed a map showing the distribution of the girls\u2019 secondary schools in Jeddah. This map shows for some households a low accessibility to these schools. That has enabled us to propose facilities to reassure a certain equality of opportunity for access to secondary schools.\nMapping, Analysis, Girls\u2019 Secondary Schools Network, Jeddah\nIn recent decades, territorial and demographic changes in the urban area of Jeddah (peri-urbanization, urban extension and extension of the road network, shuttle explosion, etc.) induce changes in the organization of school territories where population growth spaces become under-equipped in schools (Caro et al., 2006a, 2006b) . The scholar spatio-institutional dysfunction concerns both the maternal, elementary, primary, secondary and superior of both boys and girls schools.\nExempt from higher education, the agglomeration of Jeddah comprises 2383 educational institutions. They are distributed as follows: 1225 state institutions, 583 private and 575 international. Among these institutions 327 are nursery and elementary schools, 964 primary schools, 654 secondary schools and 438 secondary schools. The secondary schools represent 18.38% of all the educational institutions of the city. Jeddah city includes 194 girls\u2019 secondary schools (state, private and international) and 244 boys\u2019 secondary schools. This study deals only with public secondary schools for girls (109 secondary schools) which represent 56.18% of all girls\u2019 secondary schools.\nIn this paper, we begin by presenting the study area as well as the problematic which focuses on the disproportionate urban extension experienced by the city of Jeddah in recent years, and which is marked by an under-equipment of the educational institutions. The introductory part represents also the types and sources of data and used software. Then, in the second part, we present a diagnosis and an analysis of the current state of the spatial distribution of girls\u2019 secondary schools which proves that there is a great imbalance between the central and peri-central zones where there is a relatively high density of secondary schools, and the peripheral areas, where girls have to travel long distances to get to high schools. This work is illustrated by a cartographic product showing the structure of the city, the urban extension, the evolution of the land-use and the road network as well as the distribution of the population and that of the secondary schools. Finally, and in the last part, we present some recommendations for improving the accessibility of secondary schools by girls.\nThe main objective of this study is to visualize and analyze the unequal spatial distribution of girls\u2019 secondary schools between the different neighborhoods of the city. It shows that a large mass of the population finds problems of access to high schools. School equipment has not kept pace with urban sprawl and urban population growth.\nIn this research, we have used the ArcGIS software for the development of the cartographic product based on the results of the processing of the satellite image SPOT 5 of the study area relating to the year 2010 (Hamza et al., 2016) and the 1:25,000 topographic map published in 2012. We also used Excel to realize the graphs presented in the study.\n2. Study Area and Problem Statement\nThis study is limited to the urban space of Jeddah which is the second largest in the Saudi urban system. Jeddah city extends on a coastal strip of 4977 km\u00b2 on which 930 km\u00b2 is totally urbanized. From a small town, even a village, just over half a century ago, Jeddah became now a great metropolis (Al Sulami, 2010) . Its area was multiplied by 10 between 1972 and 2010 (Al Sulami, 2010; Daoudi, 2014) . The urban mass has grown considerably from 18,315 hectares in 1964 to 54,175 hectares in 2007 (Aljoufie, 2014a) to almost 60,000 hectares in 2014 (Aljoufie et al., 2013b) . The city comprises 95 districts (Figure 1) (Hamza et al., 2016) . The transport infrastructure has increased rapidly from 101 km in 1964 to 826 km in 2007 to almost 1000 km today (Aljoufie, 2014a) . At the end of the 1970s, the population was estimated at nearly one million inhabitants, rising to\nFigure 1. Study area.\n1.4 million in 1986, to more than 3 million in 2010, which represents 14% of the population of Saudi Arabia (EWEA, 2010; Daoudi, 2014) . It reached 3.2 million inhabitants in 2012 (Baesse, 2012) . Currently, it is estimated at about 3.4 million inhabitants (Hamza et al., 2016) , with a 3.5% growth rate according to Jeddah municipality.\nLike the major Saudi cities in recent decades, accelerated urban sprawl (Figure 2, Table 1), disproportionate population growth (Table 1), changes in the road network (Figure 4, Table 1), and dynamics and changes in land use (Al Sulami, 2010; Aljoufi et al., 2013a, 2013b) , cause many problems and dysfunctions in Jeddah urban areas (Baesse, 2012) . These problems include the fact that equipment in schools has not kept pace with this trend and many areas, especially peripheral ones, are becoming under-equipped in schools. Several sectors of the city have a very remarkable lack of school equipment. In this study, we focus only on pubic girls\u2019 secondary schools that exist in the urban area of Jeddah (109 secondary schools).\nFigure 2. Urban extension of Jeddah city (Aljoufie, 2013b) .\nFigure 3. Jeddah city Land use evolution (Aljoufie, 2013b) .\nFigure 4. Evolution of the transport network in Jeddah city (Aljoufie, 2013b) .\nTable 1. Evolution of population, urban area and road network in Jeddah between 1980 and 2015 (*: Aljoufie, 2013a and **: https://www.stats.gov.sa and estimates).\nData on education come from the Ministry of Education, the Regional Directorate for Education in Jeddah and the General Authority for Statistics (GAS). The population data by Mohafazat (governorates) come from the GAS, those per district come from the Municipality of Jeddah and previous scientific works (Daoudi, 2014; Al Sulami, 2010; Hamza et al., 2016) . We also used the dasymetric population density map developed by Hamza et al. (2016) . This map with that of the distribution of population extracted by the method per dot, is exploited to visualize the field of recruitment of each school and the need in secondary schools for each zone of habitation. These two maps are very effective in the present research, insofar as they give an idea on the distribution of the population very close to reality. Maps of urban sprawl, land use changes (Figure 3), and changes in the road network are also extracted from previous studies (Mandeli, 2008; Al Sulami, 2010; Baesse, 2012; Belarem et al., 2016, Al-Enazi, 2016a, 2016b; Aljoufie et al., 2013a, 2013b, 2013c, 2014a, 2014b, 2016a, 2016b; Chouari & Belarem, 2017; Ajmi et al., 2014) .\n4. Diagnosis of Girls\u2019 School Territories and Results\nThe agglomeration of Jeddah comprises 2383 educational establishments. They are distributed as follow: 1225 state, 583 private and 575 international institutions. These establishments include: 327 maternal and elementary schools, 964 primary schools, 654 intermediate schools and 438 schools (Figure 5).\nGirls\u2019 schools are in the order of 1312, including 194 secondary schools, 307 middle schools, 484 primary schools and 327 maternal schools (Figure 6(b)). Considering the legal status of institutions, 44% are public, 30% are private and 26% are transnational.\nIn the city of Jeddah, there are 301,468 female students, 1312 schools, 13,058 classes and 21,511 teachers; 230 girls per school, 23 girls per class, 14 girls for\nFigure 5. State education institutions in Jeddah by type (2015).\nFigure 6. Teachers, classes and students (girls) in Jeddah (2015).\neach teacher. These values are relatively acceptable compared to other countries. In France, for example, the average number of students per secondary school is 563, with an average of 22 per class. In South Korea, this value is 29.1, in Turkey it is 26.5 (INSEE, 2008) . However, the spatial distribution of settlements in Jeddah remains very uneven.\nThe secondary schools represent 18.38% of all the educational institutions of the city. The girl\u2019s secondary schools (public, private and transnational) are in the order of 194, those of the boy\u2019s count 244. The girl\u2019s public secondary schools represent 56.18% (109) of all the girl\u2019s secondary schools and almost 19% of the girl's schools. They recruit almost 81% of all girls (34,294) enrolled in secondary education in the agglomeration (42,436 girls) (Figure 6(a)), 3277 female teachers (Figure 6(b)) and a few hundred of administrative agents. These secondary schools include 1264 teaching classes (Figure 6(c)).\n5. Spatial Distribution of Girls\u2019 Secondary Schools in Jeddah\nThe spatial distribution of girls\u2019 secondary schools on the scale of the agglomeration of Jeddah shows a great imbalance between the districts. The following paragraphs deal with the unequal spatial distribution of these institutions in relation to the population pool. In addition to visualizing these spatial inequalities, we will propose alternatives to have a more rational school map.\nAn examination of the map of public girl\u2019s secondary schools (Figure 9) shows a great territorial inequality in the education sector. Indeed, there is a high concentration of secondary schools in the districts of the central part of the city. On the other hand, the districts of the south and the north of the city contain only a very limited number of secondary schools.\nThe present distribution, relatively proportional to the distribution of population numbers and densities (Figure 7 and Figure 8), shows that there is a large number of inhabitants who have accessing problems to the secondary schools.\nThe population map extracted by the method per point, the map of girls' secondary schools distribution and the one of the population density, show that most of the northern districts of the city (Al Zummurad, Al Yaqout, Teebah, and neighborhoods numbered 802, 803, 804, 805 and 806) and some of the southern ones (neighborhoods No. 501, 502, 503, 505, 506, 507, 508, and districts of No. 607 to No. 620), do not contain girls\u2019 secondary schools. The total population of these last districts is 121,347 inhabitants. They have a limited population compared to the districts of the central part. Their numbers of inhabitants vary between 124 in the district number 806 to 47,851 inhabitants in Al Marjan district. They are characterized by relatively low population densities (generally less than 7 inhabitants per km2). In this northern part there are also four districts which have a considerable population size: Al Basateen with 43,976 inhabitants Al Mohammadeyyah with 27,478, Al Naeem with 27478 and Al Nuzha with 27478 and do not have girls\u2019 secondary schools (Figure 9).\nIn the south part of the city, 22 neighborhoods (neighborhoods No. 501, No.\nFigure 7. Population number by district in Jeddah City (Hamza et al., 2016) .\nFigure 8. Choropleth map of Jeddah City (Natural breaks, Jenks classification) (Hamza et al., 2016) .\nFigure 9. Girls\u2019 secondary schools and population number of Jeddah City (Method per dot).\n502, No. 503, No. 505, No. 506, No. 507, No. 508 and the neighborhoods No. 607 to No. 620) are the homes of 4149 inhabitants. Nevertheless, they do not have any girl\u2019s secondary school. Their populations vary between 118 and 278 inhabitants. As the northern neighborhoods, they are characterized by relatively low population densities (Figure 8).\nOn the other hand, the neighborhoods of the central part occupy the largest part of the population and have relatively high densities generally ranging from 100 to 600 inhabitants per km2) and have the majority of girls\u2019 secondary schools (Figure 7 and Figure 8).\nThe creation of buffer zones with different rays around girls' secondary schools (Figures 10-14) shows that a fairly large proportion of the population has problems with accessibility to these schools. The population with access problems varies with distance. Nearly 4.3% of the population live on shelves exceeding 5000 meters compared to girls\u2019 secondary school. These percentages increase respectively to 4.4%, 5.5%, 10.5%, 22% and 46% for distances of 4 km, 3 km, 2 km, 1.5 km and 1 km.\nAccessibility to secondary schools becomes more difficult with the lack of a public transportation service for students. Indeed, with the exception of a few pickup services provided by private, and which remain very limited, all student travel is by car. In this way, there are as many displacements as pupils, teachers, workers, officials and administrative agents in these establishments (Aljoufie, 2016a, 2016b) .\nThe situation has been aggravated by the weakness of public transportation service. The part of daily commuting by car in Jeddah has increased considerably, from 50% in 1970 to 96% in 2012 (Aljoufie, 2014b) . Public transport, walking and cycling account for only 4% of urban trips (Aljoufie, 2014b) . There are two public transport networks by bus in Jeddah: the first is the Saudi Public Transport Company (SAPTCO), which operates as a regulated bus system. The second is COASTER Company, which is an unregulated bus service operated by private individuals. The SAPTCO system has 90 buses and operates on eight lines covering a total distance of 150 km (Aljoufie, 2014b) (Figure 15(a)). The second is composed by 10 bus lines with a distance of about 160 km (Figure 15(b)). COASTER has 1737 old buses with an average capacity of 20 passengers, only 5% of these vehicles are functional (Aljoufie, 2014b) .\nIn the South zone, 22 neighborhoods lack girls\u2019 secondary schools (Figure 9 and Figure 10). The girls are therefore forced to travel long distances to reach the nearest schools. In the northern part, the same problem arises, indeed in seven districts there is no girls' secondary school. The southern zone which is the oldest part, is more spatially extended and has a larger population than the northern one. It has experienced a strong urban extension in recent years (Figure 9 and Figure 10). The northern zone is very recent but it knows a very accelerated rate of urbanization compared to that of the South. This situation requires the creation of at least one secondary school for each two adjacent\nFigure 10. Population located more than 500 meters from a girls\u2019 secondary school in 2015.\nFigure 11. Population located more than 2 kilometers from a girls\u2019 secondary school in 2015.\nFigure 15. Jeddah public transport lines (Aljoufie, 2014b) . (a) SAPTCO service lines; (b) Unregulated coaster buses service lines.\ndistricts; therefore it is necessary to develop at least 10 secondary schools in the South and 3 secondary schools in the North, with the improvement of the collection service for girls by school buses.\nIt appears that although the distribution of girls' secondary schools is proportional to that of population numbers and densities, the inhabitants of the North and South of the city have great problems of access to secondary schools compared to the inhabitants of the central area.\nIn the present study, the situation is characterized by an imbalance in the distribution of urban girl\u2019s secondary schools, of population numbers and densities and of facilities; by an urban expansion and increasingly accelerated networks; by a lack of a Transport service for the pupils, the weakness of urban collective transport, means that the intervention of the state becomes very urgent.\nThe solution consists in the creation of a school bus service, the development of a public transport network (subway, tramway, private bus transportation...), the encouragement of low impact transportation (walking, cycling, etc.) and therefore the reduction of the share of cars in the urban displacements. The official authorities must also intervene on the map of schools through the creation of new girl\u2019s secondary schools especially in the south and in the north of the city.\nThis project was funded by the Deanship of Scientific Research (DSR) at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, under grant No. G-1436-125-484.

In fact, these practices\u2014far from being consigned to the schoolbooks\u2014are actually very much in vogue today (some more than others).\nWhile the most famous of these would undoubtedly be the annual self-flagellation and self-crucifixion of penitents during Holy Week, let\u2019s take a look at some of the other old-timey traditions Filipinos still practice today, especially those guaranteed to make someone\u2019s mother faint.\n1.

Female Circumcision.\n8. Abortion.\n9. Duelling.\n10. Whaling.\nPilik-mata ng Kambing \u2013 one of the sexual accoutrements used by Filipinos. Photograph taken from Colors Magazine, January 1997 issue.\nYou might probably have heard how the Filipinos in pre-colonial times used to insert all sorts of implants and adornments into their genitals in order to enhance their partner\u2019s sexual experience; apparently, the practice continues to be observed among members of the sea-faring community.\nRelated Trivia: Ancient Cebuanos used \u201cgenital jewelry\u201d\nThat\u2019s right, Filipino seamen are known to insert \u201cbolitas\u201d into their penises which they say make them a huge hit with foreign women. Gunnar Lamvik, the Norwegian researcher who made an extensive research into this little-known practice, noted that aside from the carnal benefits, Filipino seamen also see it as a way of asserting their masculinity over their foreign competition as far as the labor market is concerned.\nIn a time when the number of seafarers from other countries is growing, the practice gives the Filipino seamen a huge boost in confidence and allows them to stand out from the rest.\nContrary to its depiction in Marian Rivera\u2019s \u201cAmaya\u201d which scholars said had too many inaccuracies, the practice of \u201cbinukot\u201d (Hiligaynon for \u201csecluded\u201d) was said to have been prevalent in pre-Spanish times, where the most beautiful girls of a community would be kept isolated by their families until they can be married off.\nDuring their period of seclusion, the girls are treated like royalty and are forbidden from working and being exposed to the sunlight. They are also taught traditional dances and oral folklore, making them a rich source of the community\u2019s history. Such a sheltered lifestyle would result in the girls becoming fair-skinned frail beauties who commanded prestige and a high price for their dowries when they became of age.\nThe practice continued well until World War II when most of the \u201cbinukot\u201d\u2014unable to run to safety due to their frail conditions\u2014fell victim to Japanese cruelty. Today, the number of \u201cbinukot\u201d is dwindling and the practice is seemingly confined to the island of Panay.\nKnown as traditional circumcision, \u201cpukpok\u201d is seen as a coming-of-age ritual for boys and is mostly done in many rural areas across the Philippines.\nWhile many historians believe the practice of circumcision came from the Spaniards, others hold that it was the early Muslim settlers who introduced it. Unlike the modern method, traditional circumcision does not use anesthesia; instead, the boy is made to chew on guava leaves while the \u201cmanunuli\u201d removes his foreskin with a sharpened wooden or steel implement. The chewed guava leaves are then placed on the wound to prevent infection.\nRecommended Article: 9 Philippine Icons and Traditions That May Disappear Soon\nAs to why some Filipinos\u2014especially those in the rural areas\u2014continue to practice the traditional method, they believe it will contribute to the boy\u2019s development of his secondary sexual characteristics as well as improve his virility when he becomes an adult.\nIn a land filled with many quirky rituals for the dead, the Hanunuo Mangyans probably have the strangest of them all.\nLocated in the island of Mindoro, the tribe still observes the practice of \u201ckutkot\u201d where they literally dig up the remains of a loved one a year after his/her death and dress it up in clothes. To make the remains more human, the family bundles it up in clothes to form a mannequin-like figure called a \u201csinakot.\u201d\nDid you know? The Ibaloi also have a very unique way of honoring their dead\nThe \u201csinakot\u201d would then be carried around by the family members back to the village where it is subjected to a tribal dance. Afterwards, it would be kept by the family inside their home for a year before it is finally transferred to a cave containing other \u201csinakot.\u201d Hanunuo Mangyans practice this ritual as a way to honor their dead.\nWe already know how pre-Spanish people\u2014especially those in the Visayas\u2014used to practice the art of indigenous tattooing so prevalently that they were called \u201cpintados\u201d by the Spanish due to having large amounts of tattoos on their bodies.\nUnlike the modern method, traditional tattooing consists of pricking the skin with a sharpened steel or wooden stick dipped in wet charcoal. The whole process\u2014aside from being slower and more undoubtedly excruciating\u2014could sometimes take months to finish especially when the tattoo design is large.\nAlso Read: The Many Faces of Whang-od, Philippines\u2019 Legendary Tattooist\nSadly, practitioners\u2014called \u201cmambabatok\u201d\u2014have all but whittled down to Maria \u201cPangud\u201d Oggay, a Kalinga woman who is considered to be the last of the traditional tattoo artists in the country. However, the Fil-American group Tatak ng Apat na Alon has worked to ensure traditional tattooing does not die out with Pangud by having their members practice and wear traditional tattoos themselves.\nTwo stallions fight over a mare. The average fight lasts about 7 minutes with the longest fights taking up to 40 minutes. Photo Credit: Jacob Maentz via www.jacobimages.com\nWhile technically illegal due to the Animal Welfare Act of 1998, horse-fighting continues to be observed in the Philippines especially during festivals in Mindanao.\nPracticed by the \u201cLumads\u201d (indigenous peoples) for half a millennium, the custom involves letting two stallions duke it out inside an enclosure, with the winner getting a mare in heat tied up in the ring\u2019s center. As can be expected, the two horses would bite and kick each other until one gives up or is outright killed. In some cases, they would also end up injuring the mare amid the fighting.\nAlso Read: Top 10 Weirdest Philippine Animals\nWhile the prevalence of the practice has drawn outrage from animal activists, those who continue to observe say it\u2019s a part of their culture. Also, contrary to popular belief about the high injury and death rates among the combatants, organizers of these fights say the competitors often get out alive and are well-treated afterwards since they are expensive and are needed as work animals in their communities.\nFemale circumcision is illegal in over twenty countries world wide. Photo Credit: unicef.fr\nHard to believe, but it\u2019s not only males whose genitals go under the knife in this country. Certain Muslim communities in the south also have their women undergo ritual circumcision called \u201cPag-Islam\u201d or \u201cPag-Sunnat.\u201d\nAs we can recall, female circumcision (or Female Genital Mutilation as the World Health Organization calls it) is a hugely controversial practice and has been condemned by many in the international community due to its harmful effects on women. Like its male counterpart, the tradition is said to have been introduced into the country by Muslim settlers, although another theory holds it was the pagan pre-Spanish Filipinos who started the ritual.\nDid you know? The Bagobo also have a unique coming-of-age ritual for girls\nUnfortunately, a comprehensive study into the practice has been limited; from what can be gathered from the data obtained by a researcher after studying it among the Yakan tribe in Basilan, the process does not involve cutting off any female genitals. Only the labia majora is scraped, making the procedure a bloodless one. Also, those who were interviewed\u2014the practitioners, the patients, and their families\u2014viewed the ritual in an extremely positive light.\nWe already a mentioned in a previous list how the women of pre-colonial times used to enjoy a lot of privileges; apparently, one of them included the right to abort any pregnancy if she already had the number of children she wanted.\nTo that end, the woman would usually employ the services of a \u201chilot\u201d or an \u201calbularyo\u201d to induce the abortion. With the subsequent coming of the Spanish, abortion was later criminalized and has remained so up until the present day and is only allowed among the most life-threatening circumstances.\nREAD: 15 Weird Laws Filipinos Still Have To Live With\nYet, the threat of incarceration has not stopped hundreds of thousands of women every year from seeking the services of the aforementioned in order to terminate their pregnancies which is accomplished through a variety of method, including but not limited to manual massage and ingestion of herbal medicines.\nArguably, the art of duelling has been around for as long as man knew how to hold a weapon. Of course, it was no different in the Philippines during the pre-colonial and Spanish era, especially with the abundance of sharp-edged weapons and exacerbated by the cultural emphasis on vindication of one\u2019s honor.\nEven the American attempt to eradicate the practice by making it a criminal offense through the Revised Penal Code did not entirely succeed, as news of Filipino knife-fighters regularly reached American newspapers. Nowadays, while duels to the death are uncommon among urban folk, the practice can still be observed mainly among those living in faraway areas where laws cannot be effectively implemented and justice has to be meted out personally.\nA little-known fact: our ancestors, especially those living in the coastal areas, used to hunt whales, dolphins, whale sharks, and other large fish and mammals for subsistence. The practice, which was documented as early as the 17th century and became an industry during the different historical eras, was outlawed in 1997after it came under intense international scrutiny.\nUnfortunately, no definitive conclusion can be reached as to whether the practice has really been eradicated. On the contrary, anti-whaling advocates concede that the ban may have merely forced the whalers to continue their operations in secret.\nGiven the Philippines\u2019 vast waters, the decreasing numbers of allowable species for catching plus the whalers\u2019 livelihood needs, the practice may just be alive and well albeit in a hidden manner.\nAcebes, J.

When we finally arrived on Sunday the 22nd, it was misty rain and getting cold. Little did we know that not much would change during the 10 days we would be there except for being wetter and colder. For the 10 days, we saw the sun for only one day and the temperature stayed in the 40s or lower for all but 2 of the days. Our plans to explore and do the Riverwalk on bikes got washed away.\nOne of the main reasons we went to San Antonio was to see our daughter, Jennie, complete her first big project at her new job. She was the PR point person for the San Antonio Home and Garden show. It was held in the AlamoDome and it was going to be quite a show. One of the first events we saw was a televised promo held at the Buckhorn Saloon and Texas Ranger Museum. Buckhorn Saloon The saloon has been in business for 131 years and is still a great little gathering place in downtown San Antonio. The interior is decorated with all kinds of game and has the look of an old time saloon. There are some living birds that have found their way indoors, probably glad to get out of the weather. In fact, I took a photo of one on the chandelier just before he pooped on my shoulder!\nJennie was happy to get this part of the promo done and it came off beautifully.\nOn the one nice day weather wise, we did venture out to the Riverwalk for lunch. It ended up being a beautiful day and while we ate, we were observed by a crested egret in the tree above us.\nOn opening day of the Home & Garden Show, it was cold, windy with sleet. Hard to imagine and prepare for Spring in that kind of weather. The Alamo Dome was decorated and the exhibitors all had their best stuff out. The Dome is a 65,000 seat multipurpose arena. From the floor level, it seemed much smaller than it really is.\nOur days in San Antonio went quickly. With bad weather being the headline of the visit, we did not get to do much of what we had planned. Saving those experiences for another trip.\nA highlight of the trip home was a 2 night stay at Stephen F. Austin State Park in San Felipe TX. What a hidden gem. Adjacent to an 18 hole golf course, the park is just 4 miles off I-10 and is gorgeous! Filled with wildlife with great hiking trails, it provided a terrific break during our trip home. It is definitely on our list of places to visit again.\nBrazos River from the hiking trail\nJimmie Kay says that I can\u2019t do much of anything without screwing it up. She asked me to take the dogs outside so they can do their business. One relatively educated adult male, 2 dogs, 2 leashes, what could go wrong?\nNext post: Home to get ready to sell the house and start full-timing!\nCategory : Etc., Jennie, parks, San Antonio, Stephen F.

Statements are scrutinized for indications that the Taliban may be becoming more progressive on women\u2019s rights and ethnic or religious minorities. Claims that the Taliban have reformed their past hostility to girls\u2019 education are seized upon before any data backs it up. Glimmers of modernity among former Taliban officials are treated as symbolizing a deeper change in the movement (bringing us headlines like \"Mullah Embraces iPhone\"). And more seriously, revisions in the Taliban code of conduct, the Layha, are scoured for signs of a growing adherence to the laws of war.\nThe battlefield presents harder facts. As the latest U.N. report on civilian protection shows, insurgents killed more than two thousand Afghan civilians in 2011. There has been a marked shift in their language on civilian protection \u2013 for instance the edict in the 2006 code of conduct to attack government schools is gone, the 2010 version of the Layha makes numerous injunctions to avoid harm to the \u2018common people,\u2019 and outlines disciplinary measures for commanders who cause civilian harm. And yet the number of civilians killed has grown for the fifth year in a row, with the Taliban and other insurgent groups now responsible for almost 80% of the deaths. Targets last year included markets, offices, and protected sites such as mosques and hospitals.\nThere are two main reasons for this unnecessary bloodshed. Firstly, the Taliban continue to use indiscriminate methods such as anti-personnel mines and suicide attacks. Secondly they consider anyone who is \"siding\" (or working) with the government to be fair game \u2013 as witnessed by the steady onslaught of assassinations of civilians, including a tribal elder and two family members killed by armed men on motorbikes in Helmand in December, a woman in Kunar province shot dead in November having been accused of spying for foreigners, a civil servant also accused of spying who was blown up by an IED in Laghman in October. \"Spying\" is often the justification used for assassinating political opponents, or simply those too closely aligned with the government. Last year 495 civilians were killed in such targeted killings, according to the UN report.\nOne area where there does appear to be a shift in behavior is with regard to threats and attacks on education. The UN received reports of 289 incidents of incidents involving attacks on schools in 2011, as opposed to 378 in 2010 (these numbers include indirect attacks \u2014 in terms of direct attacks the Ministry of Education reported 71 incidents). As Antonio Giustozzi recently reported, this trend may be connected to deals struck between communities, government officials, and the Taliban, where attacks on schools stop in exchange for teachers or a curriculum that Taliban officials approve. A senior official in the Ministry of Education told me last month that school attacks were down because they\u2019d recruited 3,000 Mullahs to teach literacy classes. \"If you appoint mullah as a teacher he doesn\u2019t oppose girls\u2019 education\" he said. So a drop in attacks may be an improvement but not without cost for families seeking modern education.\nEducation aside, for the most part the trends revealed by the UN are negative in terms of civilian harm by insurgent forces. More civilians killed by IEDs, suicide bombers and more assassinations. But one thing that the Taliban have improved since the Emirate days is their Communications team. No sooner had the U.N. released its report than two Taliban websites posted rebuttals, in English and Pashto. The websites accuse \"international organizations\" of \"slandering the Islamic Emirate\" and describes the killing of innocent civilians as an \"injustice and tyranny.\"\nIt\u2019s not clear whether these promises to protect civilians are made by the Taliban merely as a public relations exercise, or whether they genuinely mean it, but lack the control over their forces that would be necessary to implement their rules. Either way, this is significant for those contemplating negotiations. If the Taliban are remotely serious about talks they need to be able to prove that their promises are meaningful, and that they have the command capability necessary implement their commitments. Both are necessary to show that they can be a serious peace partner.\nRecent weeks and months have seen signs of some momentum towards preliminary discussions at least. But the process feels rather lopsided. The preconditions that the U.S. had set out (renounce violence, split from al-Qaeda, and sign up to the constitution) have already been downgraded to \u2018necessary outcomes\u2019 in a speech by Secretary Clinton a year ago. Little now seems to be expected of the Taliban, except to agree to talk. The focus instead is on enticements, including the release of Taliban prisoners, a Taliban office in Qatar, and delisting of Talibs from the U.N.\u2019s sanctions list. While confidence building measures are a necessary feature of any prelude to talks, the one-sided nature of this process seems all the more unreasonable when the killing of civilians by insurgent forces continues to rise. The U.S. and its military partners could still do more to heed Afghan calls for a reduction in night operations, but the proportion of civilians being killed by the U.S. military and its partners has decreased, with the U.N. reporting 410 killed by \"Pro-Government Forces,\" primarily the U.S., versus 2,332 killed by insurgents.\nAll preliminary discussions with the Taliban should stress the need for attacks on civilians to end. Frankly, it might help dispel the whiff of desperation about this process if some demands were made of the Taliban, particularly concerning civilian harm. Judging by their PR efforts this is something they know is losing them popular support.\nIf advocates of peace talks are serious about finding some kind of political solution to this conflict, the Taliban need to be held to account for their careless killing of civilians, and engage in real reform, not just public pronouncements. Not surprisingly, the Afghan public does not seem to trust them. In a survey of more than 4,000 Afghans conducted by the Peace Training and Research Organization, to be released later this month, the vast majority of Afghans wanted peace. But the majority of respondents did not believe that Taliban were serious about negotiations. With so many thousands of Afghans killed and injured by Taliban IEDs, suicide bombers, and assassins, it is not hard to see why.\nRachel Reid is Senior Policy Advisor on Afghanistan and Pakistan for the Open Society Foundations.\nRachel Reid is the Open Society Foundations\u2019 advocacy manager for the Middle East, North Africa, and Southwest Asia.

Exclusive: The Pentagon Has a Plan to Sto...\nExclusive: The Pentagon Has a Plan to Stop the Zombie Apocalypse. Seriously.\nEverything you need to know about the U.S. military\u2019s defense strategy to protect humanity from the walking dead.\nAMCtv.com/Gene Page/TWD Productions, LLC\nThe U.S. military has always been the one place in government with a plan, forever in preparation mode and ready to yank a blueprint off the shelf for almost any contingency. Need a response for a Russian nuclear missile launch? Check. Have to rescue a U.S. ambassador kidnapped by drug lords? Yup, check, got that covered. How about a detailed strategy for surviving a zombie apocalypse? As it turns out, check.\nIncredibly, the Defense Department has a response if zombies attacked and the armed forces had to eradicate flesh-eating walkers in order to \u201cpreserve the sanctity of human life\u201d among all the \u201cnon-zombie humans.\u201d\nBuried on the military\u2019s secret computer network is an unclassified document, obtained by Foreign Policy, called \u201cCONOP 8888.\u201d It\u2019s a zombie survival plan, a how-to guide for military planners trying to isolate the threat from a menu of the undead \u2014 from chicken zombies to vegetarian zombies and even \u201cevil magic zombies\u201d \u2014 and destroy them.\n\u201cThis plan fulfills fictional contingency planning guidance tasking for U.S. Strategic Command to develop a comprehensive [plan] to undertake military operations to preserve \u2018non-zombie\u2019 humans from the threats posed by a zombie horde,\u201d CONOP 8888\u2019s plan summary reads. \u201cBecause zombies pose a threat to all non-zombie human life, [Strategic Command] will be prepared to preserve the sanctity of human life and conduct operations in support of any human population \u2014 including traditional adversaries.\u201d\nCONOP 8888, otherwise known as \u201cCounter-Zombie Dominance\u201d and dated April 30, 2011, is no laughing matter, and yet of course it is. As its authors note in the document\u2019s \u201cdisclaimer section,\u201d \u201cthis plan was not actually designed as a joke.\u201d\nThis isn\u2019t the first time zombies have been used to inspire trainers or the American public. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) built an entire public awareness campaign for emergency preparedness around zombies. \u201cGet a kit, make a plan, be prepared,\u201d one CDC poster warns as a dead-eyed woman peeks over a blanket.\nBut the military appears to have come up with the idea first. And of course, should there be a zombie apocalypse, the military indeed has a plan.\nCONOP 8888 is designed to \u201cestablish and maintain a vigilant defensive condition aimed at protecting humankind from zombies,\u201d according to the plan\u2019s purpose, and, \u201cif necessary, conduct operations that will, if directed, eradicate zombie threats to human safety.\u201d Finally, the plan provides guidance to \u201caid civil authorities in maintaining law and order and restoring basic services during and after a zombie attack.\u201d\nThe \u201cworst case threat scenario,\u201d according to the plan, suggests a rather dark situation: a zombie attack in which there would be high \u201ctransmissibility,\u201d lots of zombies eating lots of people, zombies infecting humans at a rapid rate, and little or no immunity and few effective countermeasures.\nUnder \u201cZombie Threat Summary,\u201d the plan highlights the different kinds of zombie adversaries one might find in such an attack. They include not only vegetarian zombies (\u201czombie life forms originating from any cause but pose no direct threat to humans because they only eat plant life\u201d); evil magic zombies (\u201cEMZs are zombie life forms created via some form of occult experimentation in what might otherwise be referred to as \u2018evil magic'\u201d); and also chicken zombies.\n\u201cAlthough it sounds ridiculous, this is actually the only proven class of zombie that actually exists,\u201d the plan states. So-called \u201cCZs\u201d occur when old hens that can no longer lay eggs are euthanized by farmers with carbon monoxide, buried, and then claw their way back to the surface. \u201cCZs are simply terrifying to behold and are likely only to make people become vegetarians in protest to animal cruelty,\u201d CONOP 8888 notes.\nThe catalog of the walking dead also includes zombies that come from outer space; those deliberately created by Frankensteinian bio-engineers; and humans that have been invaded by a pathogen that turns them into zombies.\nThe plan reviews, extensively, the various phases of saving the world from zombie rule and reads not unlike the phases of a counterinsurgency campaign: from \u201cshape\u201d to \u201cdeter\u201d to \u201cseize initiative\u201d to \u201cdominate\u201d to \u201cstabilize\u201d and, finally, in the final, confidence-building phase, \u201crestore civil authority.\u201d That final phase includes the directive to \u201cprepare to redeploy the forces to attack surviving zombie holdouts.\u201d\nFinally, \u201c[a]s directed by POTUS and SECDEF,\u201d using military-ese for the president of the United States and the defense secretary, \u201cprovide support to federal, state and tribal agencies\u2019 efforts to restore basic services in zombie-related disaster areas.\u201d\nIf the military\u2019s mantra is to \u201cbe prepared,\u201d then writing a zombie survival guide \u2014 even if it is just for an imaginative exercise \u2014 makes sense. \u201cI hope we\u2019ve invested a similar level of intellectual rigor against dragon egg hatching contingencies,\u201d one defense official quipped.\nCONOP 8888\nTags: Default, Disasters, Exclusive, Free, Military, Military strategy, North America, Web Exclusive",

        "title": "Islamists Call for Worldwide Jihad - Freedom Outpost",
        "raw_content": "ArticlesIslamReligionTerrorismWorld News\nIslamists Call for Worldwide Jihad\nA call for worldwide jihad has gone out, asking for Muslims to attack, by any means, the communities where they live. No longer are the \"faithful\" required to go to the Islamic State to wage war on the infidel.\nISIS is calling for the slaughter of Americans, the British, French, Australians and Canadians in their/our own countries by \"lone wolves.\" One jihadist tweeted, \"You could literally search for soldiers, find their town, photos of them, look for addresses in Yellowbook or something. Then show up and slaughter them.\"\nAbu Mohammad al Adnani, an ISIS \"spokesman\" announced to all \"lone wolves\": \"Rig the roads with explosives for them. Attack their bases. Raid their homes. Cut off their heads. Do not let them feel secure. Hunt them wherever they may be. Turn their worldly life into fear and fire. Remove their families from their homes and thereafter low up their homes. Civilians should not be exempt from brutality. Do not ask for anyone's advice and do not seek anyone's verdict. Killed the disbeliever whether he is civilian or military, for they have the same ruling. Both of them are disbelievers. Both of them are considered to be waging war. Hinder those who want to harm your brothers. The best thing you can do is to strive to do your best and kill any disbeliever, whether he be French, American or from any of their allies.\"\nThese should not be considered just idle threats. This is serious and so are the savages of the Islamic State.\nMany Americans from major cities like Boston, Los Angeles and Minneapolis have already left the United States to become jihadists for ISIS.\nAnd more and more terror groups are beginning to align and merge with ISIS.\nThere are about 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide and about 7 million in the United States. Even if just 1% of them are radicalized, that is a huge number. That's about 70,000 potentially radicalized Islamists scattered all over this country. And that's not taking into account the probable 10% sympathizers that would not wage war personally, but possibly support an attack, or at least excuse it.\nSo when someone like Oklahoma State Rep. John Bennett calls for Americans to be \"wary\" of Muslims, one can understand why. The New York daily news reported that Bennett, on a private Facebook post, \"called on Christians to be especially wary of people who call themselves Muslim Americans because the Quran clearly states that non-Muslims should be killed.\"\nRep. Bennett, a Marine reservist who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, said he's tired of being politically correct about Muslims.\nNaturally the Muslim Brotherhood terror front group CAIR had a hissy fit. Adam Soltani, CAIR's Oklahoma director, said, \"anti-Muslim bigotry and statements that promote misunderstanding and insight hatred toward a minority group have no place in the Oklahoma Republican Party.\"\nYeah, tell that to the woman recently murdered by a Muslim convert in Bennett's own state! Oh that's right, she couldn't hear you \u2013 she has no frickin' head, because the Muslim convert cut it off!\nI wonder if Mr. Soltani has ever been asked to condemn terror groups like Hamas or the Brotherhood? Doubtful, but I can guarantee he wouldn't. And this is what representative Bennett is talking about as well as many others in the Oklahoma Republican Party who support him.\nAnother state representative said, \"It seems as if CAIR's attack on his comments is disingenuous at best. If they're legitimate and wanting to come to the table and have an honest discourse, they can prove that by gorging the Jewish Holocaust happened, they can publicly recognize the right of Israel to exist and they can denounce the killing of Muslim converts to Christianity and other religions around the world.\"\nNo doubt John Bennett has a different perspective, being that he fought the savages in two theatres and I'm sure he doesn't believe all Muslims are radical \u2013 but in this time we would be wise to heed his warning \u2013 not ignore or impugn it.\nTags: isisislamjihadjihadistsmuslimsThe Common Constitutionalist\nNext post Violating the Fourth Amendment: Why I Don't Fly in America\nPrevious post A Religion That Preaches Death, Dying, and Destruction is not a Religion.

        "raw_content": "Posts Tagged \u2018 edgy \u2019\nthis film put me on edge. Maybe it was the music\u2026Which was fitting and brilliant (scored by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross). Or maybe it was just the content. Anything that has to do with relationships getting destroyed by money and power is always a bit disheartening but it is reality. Sadly, this sort of web start-ups story is something I hear about all the time and I\u2019ve heard all kinds of insane ones. They usually have an ugly turn out and end in destruction but sometimes, as in this case, it ends with billions and billions of dollars to be fought over. The acting was really great in this film. Jessie Eisenberg (played Mark Zuckerberg) was really, really great. I wasn\u2019t sold on him when he first started emerging \u201con the scene\u201d but after Holy Rollers I was like, Okay, this guy can act. And certainly after this film, I knew he could hold his own. He was truly captivating, Jessie makes you pay attention and you can\u2019t help but watch him. His delivery of Aaron Sorkin\u2019s (screenwriter) dialogue was on point and I don\u2019t think anyone else could\u2019ve captured that character the way Jessie did. He was Mark- snippy, sarcastic, mean, smart, interesting. It\u2019s hard to \u201cfeel\u201d for Zuckerberg\u2019s character, after all, the guy\u2019s a billionaire and it seems like he screwed over his friends in the end\u2026But Eisenberg played him in such a way that makes you feel like you\u2019re just like him. Or maybe not. Maybe you\u2019re not an asshole nor a genius. In any case, the character is real and flawed, which is relatable enough. Jessie\u2019s performance is filled with so many nuances and beats that makes you wonder whether he was shaped perfectly by David Fincher (director) or if he just has that instinct. No matter what the reason, it is quite clear that Jessie will be nominated for this stellar role. As far as Andrew Garfield (Eduardo Saverin) is concerned\u2026I\u2019m still not sold on him. I don\u2019t know what it is. But I felt like he was so whiny\u2026 Much like in Never Let Me Go. A friend of mine had told me that you are going to feel bad for his character regardless, so why did he have to play it like such a pussy? And though it may sound a tad harsh, I have to agree. Maybe it\u2019s cause he\u2019s of the Brit ilk. Who knows. However, it would be totally unfair of me to throw him under a bus, after all, he\u2019s going to be the next Spiderman\u2026Garfield needs to take more risks. I believe he can act but he needs to tone it down and really feel the character on a normal, human level. Joseph Mazzello (Dustin Moskovitz) was subtle and super underrated. I haven\u2019t heard many people talking about him or giving him any credit in this film. And since I\u2019m all about justice I will go ahead and give him his due credit. Mazzello played that character so naturally that you would think he was some sort of brilliant engineer in real life. Maybe he is but I doubt it. Put simply, he was a great in all his scenes because it felt like he was a college student going along this crazy adventure with his friends. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if we start seeing more and more of him, now that he\u2019s back on the scene. If I had to give my fortune on Mazzello, I would liken him to one of those actors that has true longevity. He was a great actor at 8 years-old (think Radio Flyer) and is a great actor now. Justin Timberlake (Sean Parker) was fine, I guess. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s hard for him to play a douche\u2026Maybe it comes naturally\u2026Or maybe he\u2019s really good at channeling it. Whatever it is I will give Fincher the credit of taking the leap on casting Timberlake. It was a choice. It was his choice and it really did work for the story. But let\u2019s just set the record straight that Parker didn\u2019t \u201cfound\u201d Napster- I call BS on that little piece of information. I really liked Armie Hammer (Cameron & Tyler Winklevoss) and Max Minghella (Divya Narendra) as well. I think both actors did a great job and were really fun to watch. I\u2019ve never seen Hammer\u2019s work before but I think this film will put him on the map. And, pulling off two roles isn\u2019t that easy. Though I haven\u2019t read the novel from which this film was adapted from, I think Aaron Sorkin shaped the story in such a manner so that you can feel the characters from start to finish even if there is no true completion in their arcs. Like I said earlier, this film put me on edge. I was uncomfortable for most of it but I think that was the point. David Fincher has always colored his films that way- you feel some sort of sad edgy anxiousness that you can\u2019t quite put your finger on but you definitely are made to feel it. Even listening to the music makes you feel like you\u2019re going to go crazy. But that was just it. It\u2019s stories like these that make you go insane.",

Instead, it is using the money to hire additional field inspectors to help discipline pilots who step out of line, he wrote.\nOn the same day, a Washington Times editorial condemned the Obama administration\u2019s action, calling it \u201ccompletely unnecessary harassment of the pilots.\u201d\nSince Obama took office, the approval process for certifying pilots to carry firearms has ground to a halt, the newspaper reported. Pilots are afraid to speak out about the behind-the-scenes maneuverings, for fear of retaliation, according to the newspaper. No cases have been reported in which pilots have brandished a weapon inappropriately or otherwise abused their eligibility to carry firearms.\nTo read the full text of Patten\u2019s article: www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_airline_pilots/2009/03/18/193314.html?s=al&promo_code=7C69-1\nKris Anderson says\nIf their going to divert the money, then put it toward the NexGen System instead of something wasteful.\nBeing stupid must be a requirement to be a politician.",

        "raw_content": "New York Framing Contractor Insurance (Quotes, Cost & Coverage)\nGeneral Liability Insurance \u00bb New York Framing Contractor Insurance\nNew York Framing Contractor Insurance\nNew York Framing Contractor Insurance. Doing business in the building framing industry means you'll be working with post-frame contractors and those who are responsible for different framing tasks on building projects. With the increased confidence of investors, this industry is currently experiencing enormous growth in employment and revenue. If you are a contractor in this industry, then you know there are many risks involved with this type of work. As a result, it's vital that you get the right New York framing contractor insurance for your company.\nNew York framing contractor insurance protects your business from lawsuits with rates as low as $87/mo. Get a fast quote and your certificate of insurance now.\nLiability Coverage And Why It's Important\nAs a business in the construction industry, the most important part of your coverage will be commercial general liability insurance. This type of coverage is required in many states before you can become a licensed framing contractor. Proof of this type of New York framing contractor insurance coverage will be required most times before you begin working on a project. Most times when you are hired as a subcontractor by a general contractor you may need to add them to your liability coverage policy. You would be able to add them as an additional insured for the length of time you spend working on the project. It works the same way if you hire by subcontractors to work for you.\nCommercial General Liability Insurance For Framers\nThe exposure you may have as a framing contractor is covered with by this type of insurance. Property damage or injury while working is covered with this kind of insurance coverage. However, this insurance will not cover things that happen because of lack of planning. Anything done wrong on the project because of a lack planning will be counted as business expenses. If your error causes other subcontractors to have to redo their work, then this coverage will cover the losses.\nNY Commercial Auto Liability Coverage\nWhen doing work on a job site, you will probably have to move tools to and from the site. As a result, you must get insurance on the vehicles that you are using. This insurance doesn't cover employees using their vehicles to transfer tools. If while an employee is transporting to a job site and they get in an accident, your company may be in trouble especially if that employee is on your time. Having hired or non-owned vehicle insurance can keep you employees protected.\nMistakes in this industry can lead to large liability claims. As a result extra liability insurance is critical for your business. Most times the insurance company you're working with may not offer enough coverage for you to protect your company adequately. With umbrella insurance coverage you can get the level of New York framing contractor insurance coverage you need for a price you can afford.\nWhy You Must Have Worker's Compensation Coverage\nNY Worker's compensation insurance is normally required before you begin working for somebody. Having this type of coverage is a requirement in most states for any company's non-owner employees. Typically before working on a project, you may need to provide proof that you have this type of coverage.\nWorking in this industry is dangerous, and this is why it is a good idea to have this type of insurance coverage. You want to ensure that when something does go wrong you and your employees are fully protected. Taking the time to speak with an commercial insurance agent to find this type of coverage for you is the best move you can make to protect your business and your employees.\nWith this type of coverage, you can protect your workers if they are ever injured while on the job. Workers compensation coverage will help with the medical expenses from the injury of an employee as well. If an accident happens on the job that results in a fatality, a workers compensation coverage plan will provide help to the surviving family.\nBusiness Insurance For Framers\nIt's important to have the right New York framing contractor insurance coverage when you have a business in the building framing industry. It will help you to protect your business from financial ruin in the case of injury on the job site or property damage. Having the right protection means you and your employees can feel safe while working on a project.\nExpanding your company's insurance portfolio is a smart move, and its advise that you take the time to speak with an insurance professional so that you can find the right coverage for your business today. The worst thing to allow to happen is something going wrong while on the job, and you do not have the adequate amount of insurance coverage to handle it. Something as simple as this could lead to you losing your business.\nRequest a free New York Framing Contractor insurance quote in Airmont, Albany, Albion, Amityville, Amsterdam, Auburn, Babylon, Baldwinsville, Ballston Spa, Batavia, Bath, Bayville, Beacon, Binghamton, Briarcliff Manor, Brockport, Bronxville, Buffalo, Canandaigua, Canton, Cedarhurst, Chestnut Ridge, Cohoes, Colonie, Corning, Cortland, Croton-on-Hudson, Depew, Dobbs Ferry, Dunkirk, East Aurora, East Hills, East Rochester, East Rockaway, Elmira, Endicott, Fairport, Farmingdale, Floral Park, Fredonia, Freeport, Fulton, Garden City, Geneseo, Geneva, Glen Cove, Glens Falls, Gloversville, Goshen, Great Neck Plaza, Great Neck, Hamburg, Harrison, Hastings-on-Hudson, Haverstraw, Hempstead, Herkimer, Hilton, Hornell, Horseheads, Hudson Falls, Hudson, Ilion, Irvington, Ithaca, Jamestown, Johnson City, Johnstown, Kenmore, Kingston, Kiryas Joel, Lackawanna, Lake Grove, Lancaster, Larchmont, Lawrence, Lindenhurst, Lockport, Long Beach, Lynbrook, Malone, Malverne, Mamaroneck, Manorhaven, Massapequa Park, Massena, Mechanicville, Medina, Middletown, Mineola, Monroe, Monticello, Mount Kisco, Mount Vernon, New Hyde Park, New Paltz, New Rochelle, New Square, New York, Newark, Newburgh, Niagara Falls, North Syracuse, North Tonawanda, Northport, Norwich, Nyack, Ogdensburg, Olean, Oneida, Oneonta, Ossining, Oswego, Patchogue, Peekskill, Pelham Manor, Pelham, Plattsburgh, Pleasantville, Port Chester, Port Jefferson, Port Jervis, Potsdam, Poughkeepsie, Rensselaer, Rochester, Rockville Centre, Rome, Rye Brook, Rye, Salamanca, Saranac Lake, Saratoga Springs, Scarsdale, Schenectady, Scotia, Seneca Falls, Sleepy Hollow, Solvay, Spring Valley, Suffern, Syracuse, Tarrytown, Tonawanda, Troy, Tuckahoe, Utica, Valley Stream, Walden, Wappingers Falls, Warwick, Washingtonville, Waterloo, Watertown, Watervliet, Webster, Wesley Hills, West Haverstraw, Westbury, White Plains, Williamsville, Williston Park, Woodbury, Yonkers and all other cities in NY - The Empire State.\nFraming Contractor Insurance",

        "raw_content": "Home \u203a Infertility Treatment \u203a Fertility Drugs \u203a Oestrogen And Clomid\nClomid is a drug used to treat infertility in women with ovulation problems. Like all drugs, it may have certain side effects and it's important for you to know what these are before you begin taking it. Some of these side effects may even reduce your chances of getting pregnant. Fortunately, taking a simple oestrogen supplement can help counteract some of the side effects experienced by women on Clomid. For further information on potential problems with Clomid, you should consult your health care provider. You should never begin any course of fertility drug treatment without the approval of your doctor.\nTo understand how oestrogen supplements may further improve your chances of getting pregnant on Clomid, it's helpful to know a little bit about how Clomid works. The drug is administered in pill form. You take one pill every day for five consecutive days each month. The effect of the pills is to block parts of the brain called oestrogen receptors. These receptors allow the brain to determine how much oestrogen is in your body. The Clomid effectively fools your brain into thinking your body does not have enough oestrogen. This sets off a chain of events which results in the production of certain hormones to stimulate your ovaries into producing and releasing mature eggs, or, in other words, ovulation.\nOestrogen Problems\nJust as Clomid blocks the oestrogen receptors in the brain, it may also block oestrogen receptors in the cervix (the mouth of the uterus through which sperm has to swim to get to the mature egg waiting to be fertilized). A side effect of this is that the mucus at the opening of your uterus may become unsuitable for sperm or it may dry up. It could even begin to block off the entrance to your uterus, giving those sperm little hope of making it to your egg. Ironically, the wonder drug which has got you ovulating again could now be the thing preventing your partner's sperm from getting you pregnant!\nOestrogen Solutions\nFortunately, a low-dosage oestrogen supplement prescribed by your doctor could go a long way towards rectifying these problems. Oestrogen encourages the production of fertile cervical mucus, and therefore helps to create a healthy environment for sperm as they swim to your uterus. Oestrogen can also thin out cervical mucus or uterine lining which has become too thick, therefore removing any blockages which may have occurred. In general, having the correct levels of oestrogen in your body creates the ideal conditions for conception and implantation in the uterus of a fertilised egg. This is because oestrogen regulates the thickness of the uterus' lining, optimises blood flow to and from the uterus and helps the uterus to increase in size as it needs to during pregnancy.\nOestrogen And You\nIf you have been taking Clomid for a couple of months without success in getting pregnant, it could be worth your while bringing up the subject of possible side effects and oestrogen supplements with your doctor - if he hasn't raised the issue already. There are several brands of oestrogen supplements available on the market and your doctor will be able to advise you as to which is best in your case.",

Six of their children were up and out by this time. This spacious, full 3 story mansion, was designed by James Vickson. Though started in 1914, the entire mansion was finished in 1922. When this mansion was constructed, William Luden had mansions in Miami and Palm Beach, Florida. He later built mansions in Villanova, PA, & Atlantic City, New Jersey\u2026\nLuden Bon-Air Mansion \u2013 HauntedHouses.com\n14OO Hill Road\nLuden Bon-Air Mansion, former home of Central Catholic High School, can be found on a hillside, near the intersection of Hill Road and Clymer Street, not far from Berks County Park. The other cross street is Eckert Avenue\nThe original, Italian Renaissance style Luden Bon-Air Mansion was built in 1914, for William H Luden; the candy maker, his wife, Anne and their two youngest children. Six of their children were up and out by this time. This spacious, full 3 story mansion, was designed by James Vickson. Though started in 1914, the entire mansion was finished in 1922. When this mansion was constructed, William Luden had mansions in Miami and Palm Beach, Florida. He later built mansions in Villanova, PA, & Atlantic City, New Jersey.\nAs Reading, PA, was Luden\u2019s home town, where he started his candy/cough drop enterprise, Luden Candy Company, it makes sense that he would build a mansion here, close to his business in Reading. He was born in Reading on March 5th, 1859, and married Anne Ritter, in 1889, the daughter of the editor of the newspaper, Reading Adler.\nThough the confection treats from the Luden Candy Company were very popular among the consuming public, William found that his most profitable product was a good tasting cough drop, that propelled his company to a huge commercial success. He sold 5 million nickel packs of these delicious tasting cough drops.\nOriginally built in a very ritzy part of town, this \u201copulent\u201d 33-44 room, $750,000 Italian Renaissance style mansion was a grand estate for a self-made man. It was built over an old iron mine, that was sealed but never filled in. The outer walls of the mansion were made of limestone & brick, with marble pillars added all around the outside of the first floor, with marble trim and lovely stonework. From the western portico, the family had a lovely view of the city.\nInside, the finished wood floors were installed on heavy, reinforced concrete, as there were old mining tunnels underneath the mansion. There was a grand central staircase leading up to all three floors. The common rooms were on the first, the bedrooms and bathrooms for each room were on the second, and the servant\u2019s quarters were on the third. The mansion had a ballroom, a library, a bowling alley, a living room, a dining room, and a breakfast room.\nJust two years after moving into Bon-Air Mansion, William\u2019s wife, Anne died in 1916. William remarried Kathryn Fasig.\nWilliam Luden retired in 1927, and sold his company to Food Industries of Philadelphia, in 1928. Luden passed away on May 8, 1941, in his mansion in Atlantic City.\nThe Luden Bon-Air Mansion was owned by family members until 1939, when the rector of St. Paul\u2019s Parish in Reading bought Bon-Air Mansion, with the mission of transforming the building into a new Central Catholic High School.\nDuring this transformation, the Bon-Air Mansion\u2019s original architecture and structural lines were mostly preserved. The mansion\u2019s rooms were easily renovated and adapted for use by the high school. School office was set up in the dining room, the library found a home in the living room, and the principal\u2019s office was in the breakfast room.\nAlso on the first floor, the music room, with a 20,000 dollar organ, donated by the Luden Family, language rooms, commercial department rooms, home economics department, biology, and a laboratory with adjacent lecture rooms\u2019 were found there.\nThe second floor bedrooms were renovated to provide five modern classrooms and a girls\u2019 rest room. As the school grew in numbers over the years, the third floor was transformed into other classrooms and rooms for various activities.\nThe basement became storage, chemistry labs, and a cafeteria for the students and staff.\nThroughout the years, additional buildings and facilities were built behind the mansion, and on property nearby. The first expansion doubled the size of the high school, when the mansion was connected to its carriage house. Many other improvements to the high school took place throughout the years to keep the high school up to date, and current, in order to be able to fill the educational needs of the students.\nBy 2004, it was decided that a new Catholic high school was needed, so plans were drawn up, money was raised, and the new high school, Berks Catholic High School opened its doors in September of 2011.\nWhile the old Central Catholic High School is closed, with no one there, and its future is up in the air, its spiritual residents now have their Bon-Air Mansion all to themselves for awhile; until the living decide whether to sell it to a new owner, or find another purpose for it.\nSpirit people sometimes prefer to stay in a familiar place where they feel comfortable, and in control, perhaps wishing to continue to experience their lives in their favorite spot in this world, not yet ready to pass over to the other side. Perhaps they feel the need to supervise or help the living.\n( JP Speed Mansion * Belmont Mansion * Woodruff Fontaine House * Kelton House Museum )\nSometimes people love their homes, but don\u2019t get to live there as long as they had planned, because of circumstances beyond their control, or because of bad choices made, that lead to their deaths.\n( Loudoun House * Hemingway House * Waverly House * The Lodge )\nSometimes if family members decided to stay in their home after they die from illness, suicide or accident, the nurturing one of the family will sometimes choose to stay with them in this world when they themselves pass away.\n( Stranahan House * LeDuc Mansion * The Whaley House * Kehoe House * Kleinschmidt House )\nWilliam\u2019s first wife, Anne, passed away in the mansion in 1916, living there just two years before either dying from an illness or accident.\nWilliam and Anne\u2019s youngest son, 17-20 year old William, known as Billy, also died in this mansion from unknown causes. Urban legend claims that he suffered from some sort of mental illness, and hung himself from the staircase, between the second and third floor of the mansion, as an act of rebellion; in response to his parents concern. His parents, knowing his limitations, kept a close eye on him, not allowing him to leave the mansion by himself. One source tells the story that before Billy killed himself, he wrote a note telling his parents, \u201cNow, I will never leave this mansion.\u201d Uh oh!\nAnother version of this suicide theory says that Billy hung himself from the mansion\u2019s western portico.\nHowever, while Billy may have been a handful when alive, there is no proof that he was unbalanced, and did indeed kill himself on purpose. The entity of the young man thought to be Billy is still a handful & high spirited, much like he was while alive. However, this spirit doesn\u2019t show any unbalanced behavior that one would expect from a spirit who committed suicide, seen in many stories on hauntedhouses.com. Suicides caused by emotions out of control usually result in emotional hauntings; crying brides, remorseful spirits; etc.\nMy theory is that he either died because of a dumb kid accident caused by poor choices, or during a risky stunt to show off, as teenagers/young adults think they are impervious to death. His teasing of students perhaps is an effort to get attention, and his pleasure in unnerving authority perhaps point to his unintended death, whom he may blame on his parents, instead of his own foolishness.\nIt seems that the people at Central Catholic High School have been treated to the full sports package of paranormal activity that has unnerved staff, and students alike for years, since the school opened so long ago.\nParanormal activity includes: Hearing foot steps, loud noisy banging, disembodied voices, doors opening and closing, and lights going on and off in locked, empty classrooms.\nEntity of an older woman, thought to be Anne.\nAn apparition of an older woman has been seen, gliding down the central staircase of the old mansion.\nA teacher was mystified to see the student papers that were waiting to be graded on his desk, being slowly lifted up by invisible hands, and turned over neatly in a pile, as if some unseen entity was giving him a hand, by reading them.\nAn apparition was seen inspecting the garden area.\nEntity of a 17-20 year old boy, thought to be Billy \u2013 described as being playful, mischievous, and enjoyed unnerving adults.\nThe sighting of a full, clear apparition of young man who was standing on the west portico of the mansion has been witnessed by many, perhaps looking wistfully, wishing to be able to leave and enjoy what he thinks is freedom; something that eluded him in this world. Or, perhaps he is thinking about what his life could\u2019ve been if he hadn\u2019t died unexpectedly.\nShadow of this young man has been seen all over various spots in the high school, especially in the old mansion areas.\nAn electrician on the third floor, during the evening hours, was found by two other electricians, being held against the wall, off the ground by an unseen presence.\nSchool Staff, students and other people with business in the old mansion have been reporting \u201cunsettling occurrences\u201d for years, though none would give their names, except the late music teacher, Mr. Arnold, who wasn\u2019t afraid to tell about his experiences.\nJAM Paranormal investigators held an investigation in the fall of 2007, and caught some interesting evidence, that they weren\u2019t given permission to post. They had personal experiences though, as well.\nA huge PROBABLY SO! Though no hard evidence has been allowed to be published, many people from the opening years of the Central Catholic High School have had vivid personal experiences. The entities here have done a great job annoying students, and unnerving adults.\nreadingeagle.com/article * jamparanormal.com/case_005\ngoreadingberks.us/religion/catholicfaith/history/readingcentralcatholichighschool.php\nFacebook Page * readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=55001",

        "raw_content": "To Lose Weight, Just Drink a Gallon of Coffee\nThere's no shortage of scientific research pointing to exercise being good for you, but if you're just trying to lose weight you probably want all the help you can get. Now, research suggests that caffeine activates the same fat-busting genes as an hour's exercise. Somebody, pass the espresso.\nA team of researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, were interested in the genetic activity in the body during exercise. By taking biopsies from the legs of participants, they were able to work out that several genes associated with metabolizing fat are activated by exercise\u2014but only after an hour or so. That means that your body breaks down fat more effectively after an hour's exercise.\nBut what they also found was that the exact same genes are activated by large doses of caffeine, a finding they report in Cell Metabolism. In fact, the caffeine causes the body to release calcium, which tricks it into thinking that muscles are being contracted\u2014hence the effect.\nSadly, the doses of caffeine required to achieve the same effect as an hour's exercise are... intimidating to say the least. \"[You] would need to consume a caffeine equivalent of about 50 cups [of coffee] per day, almost close to a lethal dose\", explains Juleen Zierath, one of the researchers, to Nature. Maybe exercise is easier after all. [Cell metabolism via New Scientist; Image: Phil Monger]",

Bob Marley died of cancer at the age of 36 but in that short lifetime, he changed the landscape of music, introducing generations to reggae music with such hit songs as Get Up, Stand Up, One Love No Woman, No Cry , Could You Be Loved, Buffalo Soldier, Jammin and Redemption Song.\nThe accomplished Jamaican singer-songwriter, who died in 1981, had a father who was caucasian and because of that found himself discriminated against in his country. Although he rose to great fame and fortune, Bob Marley never forgot where he came from. He remained humble until the end of his life. And the power he achieved in music will never be forgotten.\nZiggy Marley is a successful musician in his own right as well as a producer. Ziggy\u2019s early immersion in music came at 10 years old when he sat in on recording sessions with his Dad.\nHe also produced the video Bob Marley & The Wailers: Easy Skanking in Boston \u201978 and was an executive producer on the documentaries Bob Marley Legend Remixed, Marley, and Marley Africa Roadtrip (the latter for television). He has also guest starred on some TV shows including Charmed and Hawaii Five-O.\nZiggy Marley also won Best Reggae Album at the Grammy\u2019s last year and has won seven other Grammys. He even has a Daytime Emmy under his belt for his original song I Love You Too for the animated children\u2019s series 3rd & Bird. That album also won a Grammy for Best Children\u2019s Album. He\u2019s released 15 albums overall. With his own label Tuff Gong Worldwide, and publishing company Ishti Music, Marley has complete control of his master recordings and publishing. He also he produced the albums Easy Skankin\u2019 in Boston and produced/mixed Exodus 40.\nMarley, who is repped by WME, also created the graphic novel Marijuanaman. This May, Marley released his most recent album Rebellion Rises.\nSource: https://deadline.com/2018/06/ziggy-marley-biopic-bob-marley-paramount-1202404203/\nFiled under: \"Bob Marley & The Wailers: Easy Skanking in Boston \u201978\", \"Buffalo Soldier\", \"Could You Be Loved\", \"Jammin\", \"Redemption Song\", Bob Marley, Ishti Music, Paramount Pictures, Reggae music, Tuff Gong Worldwide, Ziggy Marley\nMeet Dawn Porter, Filmmaker Behind Netflix Documentary Series \u201cBobby Kennedy For President\u201d\nStarbucks Incident Prompts Philadelphia Police Department to Implement New De-Escalation Policy in Trespass Cases\n2 thoughts on \u201cZiggy Marley to Develop Film about Father and Reggae Legend Bob Marley at Paramount\u201d\nHi good morning \u2764\nPingback: Ziggy Marley to Develop Film about Father and Reggae Legend Bob Marley at Paramount \u2013 GOOD BLACK NEWS | Black News Zone",

        "raw_content": "German vs germane\nGerman means an inhabitant of Germany, a native of Germany or a person of German descent. German also describes an item or custom that traces its roots to Germany or is characteristic of Germany. German is also the term for the language spoken in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The word German is derived from the Latin word Germanus, it is always capitalized.\nGermane means relevant to a certain topic, related to the topic being considered. Related words are germanely and germaneness. Today\u2019s meaning of the word germane is derived from Shakespeare. In the play Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 2, Hamlet says, \u201cThe phrase would be more germane to the matter if we could carry cannon by our sides.\u201d Germane is pronounced with the accent on the last syllable, the a is long.\nEarlier predictions that German exports would grow 4.5% in 2016 needed to be revised downwards, Anton F. B\u00f6rner, president of the Federation of German Wholesale, Foreign Trade and Services, said in Berlin. (The Wall Street Journal)\nA German film company has claimed before the Commercial Court that two well known Irish film producers have diverted funds out of a film production company to either themselves personally or corporate entitles controlled by them. (The Irish Times)\n\u201cIt is germane to mention that the Ondo model in health care will be of help in many developing nations since it has been made public in a cathedral of policy formulations that the Chattam House represents\u201d. (The Nation)\nThere are indeed messages to be had \u2014 about family, about perseverance, about tolerance \u2014 that are germane to everyone. (The Kitsap Sun)\nOr were those items just part of the carefully drawn background, enriching the narrative but not germane to the questions central to the main storyline? (The Montana Standard)",

It\u2019s only open for a couple of weeks, and I happened to be in the West End yesterday so paid a quick visit, joining a crowd made up entirely, and unsurprisingly, of middle-aged men.\nI wasn\u2019t actually expecting a great deal, but was pleasantly surprised by what I found. While the upstairs is essentially a Clash mini-mart, flogging copies of the band\u2019s albums as well as the Sound System box, the downstairs is more like a mini-museum of Clash memorabilia, featuring the iconic alongside pleasing ephemera.\nSo while the biggest draw was the buggered bass guitar that Paul Simonon is seen smashing on the cover of London Calling\u2026\n\u2026 I rather preferred witty juxtapositions like this, which places a punk-referencing pizza box alongside a Vince Taylor LP.\nA long cabinet acts like a timeline of the band\u2019s history, crammed with ephemera relating to the band personally and politically, but also to the musical and literary influences they were absorbing along the way. So the section around the time of, say, Sandinista!, is full of South American political paraphernalia, lyric sheets and cassettes of the music they were discovering, while further along, at the time of Combat Rock, it\u2019s all about cowboys and indians, and the US military. It was a bit like the Bowie V&A show in miniature with a better developed sense of humour, and ably demonstrated that the three-dimensional, technicolor world of rock and roll offers huge potential for entertaining and informative exhibitions when handled with the right blend of respect and irreverence. One day, one hopes, somebody will do a Beatles exhibition that works along similar lines.\nOther items of interest included the Clash\u2019s map of the world, Paul Simonon\u2019s certificate of appreciation from the Guardian Angels, the hand-written lyrics to \u201cGuns Of Brixton\u201d and an old beat box, with rather touching home-made cassettes.

        "raw_content": "Hair Loss: Know When to Be Really Concerned About It\nWhile losing some of your hair on a daily basis is no cause for concern, excessive hair loss may be enough to send some shivers through your spine. So, how do you know when the amount of hair you are shedding is well within the normal range and how do you know when it\u2019s time to see your doctor about it? Here are some things you definitely need to know.\nHair Loss \u2013 Understanding What is Normal and What is Not\nOn the average, most people lose anywhere between 50 to 100 strands of hair on a daily basis. So, when you see some of your hair on your hairbrush or on your bathroom drain, don\u2019t fret about it. These are probably the strands of hair that are undergoing the normal resting phase and are just about to fall out after all. Soon enough, there will be new ones to replace the ones you\u2019ve lost.\nHowever, if you start losing more hair than usual or if your hair starts falling out in clumps leaving bald patches all over your head, it may be time for you to consult your doctor about it. For all you know, there may be an underlying condition that is causing your hair to fall off unnaturally.\nUnnatural Hair Loss \u2013 What May Be Causing It?\nUnnatural hair loss may be triggered by any one of the following causes:\nStress. People who underwent severe physical or emotional trauma such as sudden and excessive weight loss, serious infection, surgery or the loss of a loved one can be enough to trigger hair loss.\nHormonal factors. Hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, use of birth control pills or menopause may bring about hair loss.\nUnderlying medical condition. Certain medical conditions such as anemia, thyroid problems, diabetes, lupus, scalp infections and other skin infections may cause temporary and permanent hair loss.\nMedications. Drugs used to treat arthritis, cancer, depression, heart problems and hypertension may also trigger the problem.\nIt may also be possible that you are genetically predisposed to male or female pattern baldness or alopecia areata. In any case, the best thing for you to do is to consult a certified hair restoration expert such as Dr. Mark DiStefano of the DiStefano Hair Restoration Clinic about your problem to get the best professional advice possible.\nPrevious PostPrevious Interested in Taking Propecia?

Capturing life in Bombay/Mumbai from 1977 to the present day, the images \u2013 complex and intimate, quirky and quotidian \u2013 celebrate the odd and everyday character of a city as its shape shifted over four decades. With illuminating write-ups by Pico Iyer and Salman Rushdie, as well as a candid conversation between Taraporevala and Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi, the works in this book are a significant, original contribution to the social history of one of India\u2019s most diverse cities..\nSooni Taraporevala, photographer, screenwriter, film-maker, is best known for writing the films Mississippi Masala, The Namesake, the Oscar-nominated Salaam Bombay!, and directing the National Award-winning Little Zizou as well as for her book, PARSIS: A Photographic Journey. Her photographs have been exhibited around the world and are in the permanent collections of the National Gallery of Modern Art, Delhi, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The recipient of numerous national and international awards, she was awarded a Padma Shri by the Government of India and is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She lives in Mumbai with her husband Dr Firdaus Bativala.\n1 review for Home in the City\nRitika Kochhar \u2013 January 30, 2018 :\nTaraporevala looks at 40 years of the city \u2013 as it crosses over from being Bombay to Mumbai \u2013 the Parsis, the film industry, politics, the Gymkhanas, the children and even the sets of her films where she was the still photographer. The opening image is of teh Gateway of India through the open windows of the Taj \u2013 windows that were permanently closed after the 2008 attacks on Bombay. The last is of a woman reading \u2013 again, seen through an open window at night \u2013 which, for me, sitting in Delhi, is a lovely shot of nostalgia and safe innocence. We can no loner do so. Like her screenplays, this is an insiders view. There\u2019s a story behind each picture.",

        "raw_content": "Like it or not, most of us think about career success in terms of moving up the hierarchy. Let me illustrate with a story:\nI once worked with the new CEO of a well-known global firm which was barely breaking even. The CEO\u2019s mandate from the board was to improve profitability. To do this, he planned to institute global manufacturing platforms so that product \u201cfamilies\u201d would have the same core design no matter where in the world they were sold. The reduced-cost savings would be in the tens of millions of dollars.\nThis initiative would take a couple years of hard work, so the CEO tapped the president of the North American Division to take the lead on a full-time basis. This person, let\u2019s call him Bill, had been with the company for many years, understood the engineering and supply chain issues, and was well respected by everyone.\nThe only problem was that Bill thought the assignment would be personally embarrassing. \u201cLook,\u201d he said, \u201cI currently have 10,000 people reporting to me and responsibility for the largest P&L in the company. If I ran a task force, everyone would think I was being put out to pasture. It would be better if you just fired me.\u201d\nThe shocked CEO stood his ground and argued that Bill was the perfect fit for this assignment, and how critical it was to the company. Eventually Bill gave in and his new position was announced. Sure enough, in the days that followed, Bill received dozens of emails and calls offering consolation on his \u201cdemotion\u201d and help in finding a new job elsewhere. The head of Human Resources even asked the CEO whether Bill\u2019s job-grade and performance bonus should be reduced. Not one person congratulated him.\nWhat\u2019s going on here? Why do people assume that a big title trumps a value-creating initiative? The answer is that hierarchy is more than just a way of designing the organization: It drives how we think about relationships, contribution, careers, and success.\nMost of us have grown up assuming that career success is vertical. We climb the ladder and move from junior positions to senior ones. As such, we implicitly compete with others because there are fewer positions as we advance. It\u2019s like a reality show where people get kicked off the island.\nHierarchy is more than just a way of designing the organization: It drives how we think about relationships, contribution, careers, and success.\nThe problem with this powerful paradigm is that today\u2019s work is no longer divided up into small tasks that require higher and higher layers of management to put together. Instead most work is accomplished through horizontal processes that cut across different functions, geographies, and specialties. Therefore real success comes less from controlling people that report to you, and more from the ability to align stakeholders who surround you.\nGiven the hierarchical structures of most organizations, we will still have upward career paths. More and more however, the real contributors will be the process owners and project leaders that are able to provide horizontal leadership. To support this shift, organizations will need to reward and recognize horizontal contributions as much, if not more, than hierarchical positions. At the same time, each of us will need to overcome our personal assumptions about moving up the career ladder, and think more about how we add value across. When that happens, everyone will congratulate \u201cBill\u201d about his promotion to the task force leadership role.\nWhat\u2019s your view about career progression \u2014 should it be \u201cup\u201d or \u201cacross\u201d?\nin Strategic thinking by Kabir Sehgal; 4 mins read\nStop Focusing on Your Performance\nin Strategic thinking by Peter Bregman; 4 mins read\nJing Wang says: Submitted: 7 months ago\nThis is truly. To get the jobe done you should rely your Networks and horizontal Leadership ability. But you have to manage up too, because they are one of the most important supporters. Alone to fight and to get Things done without alignment of your Targets with your Managers will not be successful in a Long term.\nAmit Khanna says: Submitted: 7 months ago\nIt depends on the company culture and how ur top level look at it\u2026..It is rightly mentioned that as most of the work is accomplished with Horizontal connections and alignment. More emphasis must be given to horizontal movement with vertical recognition as well.",

        "raw_content": "An administrative court is a type of court specializing in administrative law, particularly disputes concerning the exercise of public power. Their role is to ascertain that official acts are consistent with the law. Such courts are considered separate from general courts.\nThe administrative acts are recognized from the hallmark that they become binding without the consent of the other involved parties. The contracts between authorities and private persons fall usually to the jurisdiction of the general court system. Official decisions contested in administrative courts include:[1]\ndispensation of monetary benefits\nenvironmental licenses\nimmigration decisions\nsummary public payments (other than fines imposed by general courts)\nThe Federal Administrative Court of Germany in Leipzig is the highest administrative court in Germany.\nIn several countries, in addition to general courts, there is a separate system of administrative courts, where the general and administrative systems do not have jurisdiction over each other. Accordingly, there is a local administrative court of first instance, possibly an appeals court and a Supreme Administrative Court separate from the general Supreme Court.\nThe Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden in Stockholm is the highest administrative court in Sweden.\nThe parallel system is found in countries like Egypt, Greece, Germany, France, Italy, some of the Nordic Countries, Portugal, Taiwan and others. In France, Greece, Portugal and Sweden, the system has three levels like the general system, with local courts, appeals courts and a Supreme Administrative Court. In Finland, Italy, Poland and Taiwan, the system has two levels, where the court of first instance is a regional court. In Germany, the system is more complicated, and courts are more specialized.\nThe Conseil d'Etat in Paris is the Supreme Administrative court in France .\nIn Finland, legality of decisions of both state agencies and municipal authorities can be appealed to the administrative courts. In accordance with the principle of the legal autonomy of municipalities, administrative courts can only review and rule on the formal legality of the decision, not its content. In the case of state agencies, administrative courts may rule on the actual content of the decision.\nIn the United States, administrative courts are tribunals within administrative agencies, and are distinct from judicial courts. Decisions of administrative courts can be appealed to a judicial court.\nNotably, in 1952, the Communist East German government abolished the administrative courts as \"bourgeois\". This limited the citizens' ability to contest official decisions. In 1989, re-establishment of the system began in DDR, but the German reunification made this initiative obsolete.\nThe Administrative Court is a specialist court of the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice in England and Wales\nAdministrative courts in Greece\nSupreme Administrative Court of the Republic of Poland\nAdministrative Courts in Finland\nAdministrative law judges in the United States\n^ Oikeusministeri\u00f6 - Justitieministeriet Archived February 10, 2008, at the Wayback Machine\nArabic Popular Movement\nThe Arabic Popular Movement (also translated as the Arabian Popular Movement) is a political party in Egypt created by members of the Tamarod movement. The Supreme Electoral Commission announced on 3 December 2014 that it had declined the establishment of the party and referred the case to the Supreme Administrative Court to determine its status. The Supreme Administrative Court denied the party's appeal on 28 January 2015. Members of Tamarod will run as independents in the 2015 Egyptian parliamentary election.\nArabism Egypt Party\nThe Arabism Egypt Party is a political party in Egypt founded by Sami Anan. The party planned to run in the 2015 Egyptian parliamentary election, possibly as part of an electoral alliance. The Supreme Electoral Commission announced on 3 December 2014 that it had declined the establishment of the party and referred the case to the Supreme Administrative Court to determine its status. The Supreme Administrative Court accepted the party's appeal on 28 January 2015 allowing the party to be formed. It didn't win any seats in the House of Representatives in the election.\nThe Constitution of Austria (German: \u00d6sterreichische Bundesverfassung) is the body of all constitutional law of the Republic of Austria on the federal level. It is split up over many different acts. Its centerpiece is the Federal Constitutional Law (Bundes-Verfassungsgesetz), which includes the most important federal constitutional provisions.\nApart from the B-VG, there are a large number of other constitutional acts (called Bundesverfassungsgesetze, singular Bundesverfassungsgesetz, abbrev. BVG, i.e. without the dash) and individual provisions in statutes and treaties which are designated as constitutional (\"Verfassungsbestimmung\"). For example, the B-VG does not include a bill of rights, but provisions on civil liberties are split up over different constitutional legislative acts.\nOver time, both the B-VG and the numerous pieces of constitutional law supplementing it have undergone literally hundreds of minor and major amendments and revisions.\nA Council of State is a governmental body in a country, or a subdivision of a country, with a function that varies by jurisdiction. It may be the formal name for the cabinet or it may refer to a non-executives advisory body associated with a head of state. In some countries it also has a function as a supreme administrative court and sometimes regarded as the equivalent of a privy council.\nCouncil of State (Greece)\nIn Greece, the Council of State (also Council of State; Greek: \u03a3\u03c5\u03bc\u03b2\u03bf\u03cd\u03bb\u03b9\u03bf \u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u0395\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5\u03af\u03b1\u03c2) is the Supreme Administrative Court of Greece.\nCourt of Audit (Greece)\nIn Greece, the Chamber of Accounts (or Court of Accounts or Court of Auditors or Audit Court; Greek: \u0395\u03bb\u03b5\u03b3\u03ba\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03a3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ad\u03b4\u03c1\u03b9\u03bf (from French: Cour des Comptes)) is both an administrative organ (one of the three Big Bodies of the Greek Public Administration) and a Supreme Administrative Court with a special jurisdiction (while the jurisdiction of the Council of State is general). Hence, its role is double-natured.\nFederal Administrative Court (Germany)\nThe Federal Administrative Court (Bundesverwaltungsgericht) is one of the five federal supreme courts of Germany. It is the court of the last resort for generally all cases of administrative law, mainly disputes between citizens and the state. It hears appeals from the Oberverwaltungsgerichte, or Superior Administrative Courts, which, in turn, are the courts of appeals for decisions of the Verwaltungsgerichte (Administrative Courts).\nHowever, cases concerning social security law belong to the jurisdiction of the Sozialgerichte (Social Courts) with the Bundessozialgericht as federal court of appeals, and cases of tax and customs law are decided by the Finanzgerichte (Finance Courts), and, ultimately, by the Bundesfinanzhof.\nThe Bundesverwaltungsgericht has its seat at the former Reichsgericht (Imperial Court of Justice) building in Leipzig.\nFederal Administrative Court (Switzerland)\nThe Federal Administrative Court of Switzerland (German: Bundesverwaltungsgericht, French: Tribunal administratif f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, Italian: Tribunale amministrativo federale; Romansh: Tribunal administrative federal) is a Swiss federal court. It is the judicial authority to which decisions of the federal authorities of Switzerland can be appealed. The decisions of the Federal Administrative Court can generally be appealed, in turn, to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland.\nFederal courts of Switzerland\nThe federal judiciary of Switzerland consists of the Federal Supreme Court, the Federal Criminal Court, the Federal Patent Court and the Federal Administrative Court. These courts are charged with the application of Swiss federal law through the judicial process.\nThe Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne is established in the Swiss Federal Constitution as the supreme judicial authority of Switzerland. It is the court of appeal for all decisions of the cantonal courts of last instance, and also for most decisions of the three federal courts of first instance.\nThe Federal Criminal Court in Bellinzona tries the (relatively few) criminal cases subject to federal criminal jurisdiction, such as cases involving organised crime, terrorism and crimes against federal institutions. It also decides disputes between cantonal prosecuting authorities. The Federal Administrative Court in St. Gallen reviews decisions made in application of federal administrative law that have been issued by federal and in some cases by cantonal authorities. The Federal Patent Court of Switzerland is a specialized court, which started hearing patent cases in 2012, taking jurisdiction from the cantonal courts.\nJudicial system of Finland\nUnder the Constitution of Finland, everyone is entitled to have their case heard by a court or an authority appropriately and without undue delay. This is achieved through the judicial system of Finland.\nThe Finnish judicial system is mostly organized under the Ministry of Justice, and consists of\nthe independent courts of law and administrative courts\nthe prosecution service\nthe enforcement authorities, who see to the enforcement of judgments\nthe prison service and the probation service, who see to the enforcement of custodial sentences, and\nthe Bar Association and the other avenues of legal aid.\nJudiciary of Ukraine\nThe judicial system of Ukraine is outlined in the 1996 Constitution of Ukraine. Before this there was no notion of judicial review nor any Supreme Court since 1991's Ukrainian independence. when it started being slowly restructured.Although judicial independence exist in principle, in practice there is little separation of juridical and political powers. Judges are subjected to pressure by political and business interests. Ukraine's court system is widely regarded as corrupt.Although there are still problems with the performance of the system, it is considered to have been much improved since the last judicial reform introduced in 2016. The Supreme Court is regarded as being an independent and impartial body, and has on several occasions ruled against the Ukrainian government.\nSupreme Administrative Court (Austria)\nIn the Republic of Austria, the Supreme Administrative Court (German: Verwaltungsgerichtshof or VwGH) is the appellate court that decisions of the country's eleven administrative trial courts can be appealed to. The Supreme Administrative Court also resolves demarcation disputes within the administrative court system and hears complaints about administrative trial courts that fail to issue verdicts legally required of them in a timely manner.\nThe court does not have a fixed number of members. The theoretical minimum is seven; the actual number, as of June 2018, is about seventy.\nMembers are appointed by the President of Austria on nomination of the cabinet. With respect to most appointments, the cabinet is limited to choosing from a shortlist of three candidates provided by the court. The court is subdivided into 21 panels of three to five members each, each panel handling cases in a specific area of law.\nThe current president of the Supreme Administrative Court, appointed in January 2014, is Rudolf Thienel.\nSupreme Administrative Court (Portugal)\nThe Supreme Administrative Court (Portuguese: Supremo Tribunal Administrativo) is a court in Portugal that deals with matters pertaining to administrative and fiscal legal relations. This court functions without prejudice to the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court of Portugal.\nSupreme Administrative Court of Bulgaria\nThe Supreme Administrative Court of Bulgaria was first established on 25 November 1878 as one of the three divisions of the then-single Supreme Court. It did not exist during the Communist rule, but was restored in 1991.\nThe purpose of the Court is outlined in the Constitution:\n\"Article 125 (1) The Supreme Administrative Court shall exercise supreme judicial oversight as to the precise and equal application of the law in administrative justice.\n(2) The Supreme Administrative Court shall rule on all challenges to the legality of acts of the Council of Ministers and the individual ministers, and of other acts established by law.\nThe Supreme Administrative Court became a separate institution with the promulgation of the Administrative Justice Law from 3 April 1912. The Constitution of the People\u2019s Republic of Bulgaria of 1947 did not provide for judicial supervision over administrative acts, and as a result the Supreme Administrative Court was closed in 1948 by virtue of the Law on the Structure of People\u2019s Courts. Bulgaria's seventh Grand National Assembly reestablished the Court in 1991.\nThe current Chairman of the Supreme Administrative Court is Georgi Kolev. He was appointed to this position in 2010. The Deputies are Veneta Markovska and Galina Solakova. The Court consists of two colleges and six divisions, each with a particular phere of responsibilities.\nThe Supreme Administrative Court publishes a periodical, the Administrative Justice Journal. It is used to describe the problems of Administrative Law and to present practices from the relevant European judicial institutions.\nSupreme Administrative Court of Finland\nThe Supreme Administrative Court of Finland (Finnish: korkein hallinto-oikeus, Swedish: h\u00f6gsta f\u00f6rvaltningsdomstolen) is the highest court in the Finnish administrative court system, parallel to the Supreme Court of Finland. Its jurisdiction covers the legality of the decisions of government officials, and its decisions are final. Appeals are made to the Supreme Administrative Court from the decisions of the administrative courts of Helsinki, Turku, H\u00e4meenlinna, Kouvola, Kuopio, Vaasa, Oulu, Rovaniemi and \u00c5land Islands, the Market Court, and the Council of State.\nIn most issues, it is possible to appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court of Finland from the judgment of the administrative court. However, in some case areas of administrative law, an appeal requires a leave of appeal from the Supreme Administrative Court. The most important such area are insurance cases. In some restricted areas of law, for example, in parking fines, the decision of the administrative court is final and cannot be appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court.\nIn administrative matters, the Supreme Administrative Court has the sole power to grant extraordinary means of appeals, which are the annulment of a decision, a complaint against it, or an extension of the already-lapsed time of appeal.\nThe Council of State, i.e. the Finnish government, acts in some cases as an administrative authority. The decisions it makes in this competence can be appealed against on the grounds of legality of the decision.\nAs in all Finnish administrative courts, the legal costs of both parties in the Supreme Administrative Court are born, unless it is reasonable to award the prevailing party all or part of the costs. Nonetheless, when the authority prevails against a private claimant, it must bear all its costs, unless the private party has made a frivolous claim.\nThe Court has a President, 20 Justices and 4 Temporary Justices, organized into three chambers of five Justices. In addition, there are 16 Expert Counsellors. In cases concerning water, environmental protection and intellectual property, the chamber is composed of five Justices and two Expert Counsellors. In 2011, the Court processed 4044 cases, with an average time of hearing of 12.2 months.\nSupreme Administrative Court of Poland\nThe Supreme Administrative Court of the Republic of Poland (Polish: Naczelny S\u0105d Administracyjny) is the court of last resort in administrative cases e.g. those betweens private citizens (or corporations) and administrative bodies. This court deals with appeals from lower administrative courts called Voivodship Administrative Courts.\nSupreme Administrative Court of Sweden\nThe Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden (Swedish: H\u00f6gsta f\u00f6rvaltningsdomstolen, before 2011 Regeringsr\u00e4tten, acronym RR or RegR) is the supreme court and the third and final tier for administrative court cases in Sweden, and is located in Stockholm. It has a parallel status to that of the Supreme Court of Sweden (H\u00f6gsta Domstolen), which is the supreme court for criminal and civil law cases.\nIt hears cases which have been decided by one of the four Administrative courts of appeal, which represent the second tier for administrative court cases in Sweden. Before a case can be decided, a leave to appeal must be obtained, which is typically only granted when the case is of interest as a precedent. The bulk of its caseload consist of taxation and social security cases.\nJustices of the Supreme Administrative Court (the Swedish term is justitier\u00e5d) are appointed by government, but the court as an institution is independent of the Riksdag, and the government is not able to interfere with the decisions of the court. By law, there shall be fourteen Justices of the Supreme Administrative Court or such a higher a number as may be required, at the government's discretion. As of 2009, there were eighteen Justices in the court. One of the Justices serves as president and head of the court, and is appointed by the government to this function.\nSince 3 January 2011, Justice Mats Melin serves as the court's president.\nIn total the court has approximately 100 employees.\nSupreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic\nThe Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic (Nejvy\u0161\u0161\u00ed spr\u00e1vn\u00ed soud \u010cesk\u00e9 republiky) is the court of highest authority on issues of procedural and administrative propriety. It also has jurisdiction over many political matters, such as the formation and closure of political parties, jurisdictional boundaries between government entities, and the eligibility of persons to stand for public office. It also adjudicates in disciplinary proceedings against judges and state prosecutors. It is the court of second instance in actions against the decisions of authorities.\nSimilarly to other countries in Europe, administrative justice is considered a separate branch of the judiciary in the Czech Republic.\nSupreme Constitutional Court (Egypt)\nThe Supreme Constitutional Court (Egyptian Arabic: \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0643\u0645\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0633\u062a\u0648\u0631\u064a\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0644\u064a\u0627\u200e, El Mahkama El Dust\u016br\u012bya El \u2018Uly\u0101) is an independent judicial body in Egypt, located in the Cairo suburb of Maadi.\nThe Supreme Constitutional Court is the highest judicial power. It alone undertakes the judicial control in respect of the constitutionality of the laws and regulations and shall undertake the interpretation of the legislative texts in the manner prescribed by law. In addition, the court is empowered to settle competence disputes between the judicial and the administrative courts.",

        "raw_content": "Corydoras is a genus of freshwater catfish in the family Callichthyidae and subfamily Corydoradinae. The species usually have more restricted areas of endemism than other callichthyids, but the area of distribution of the entire genus almost equals the area of distribution of the family, except for Panama where Corydoras is not present.[1] Corydoras species are distributed in South America where found east of the Andes to the Atlantic coast, from Trinidad to the R\u00edo de la Plata drainage in northern Argentina.[2] Species assigned to Corydoras display a broad diversity of body shapes and coloration.[3] Corydoras are small fish, ranging from 2.5 to 12 cm (1.0 to 4.7 in) in SL.[2]\nLate Paleocene - Recent\nFamily: Callichthyidae\nTribe: Corydoradini\nHoedeman, 1952\nGenus: Corydoras\nBrochis Cope, 1871\nChaenothorax Cope, 1878\nCordorinus Rafinesque, 1815\nGastrodermus Cope, 1878\nHoplisoma Swainson, 1838\nMicrocorydoras Myers, 1953\nOsteogaster Cope, 1894\nThe name Corydoras is derived from the Greek kory (helmet) and doras (skin).[4] Corydoras is by far the largest genus of Neotropical fishes with more than 160 species.[4] It is the sole genus in the tribe Corydoradini.[5] C. difluviatilis is recognized as the basalmost species of Corydoradini, exhibiting several plesiomorphic features compared to the other species of Corydoras.[5][3] The type species for this genus is Corydoras geoffroy.[4] Several hundred species are not yet classified, but kept by aquarists. These species are given 'C-numbers', originally devised by Hans-Georg Evers for the German fishkeeping magazine DATZ in 1993. In 2006, 153 C-numbers had been assigned, of which 32 had been assigned appropriate scientific names.[6]\nThe species C. barbatus, C. macropterus and C. prionotos have been reclassified into the genus Scleromystax.[5] Brochis had been differentiated from Corydoras due to the higher number of dorsal fin rays; however, Brochis has recently been suggested to be a synonym of Corydoras.[5] This is contested and has not been universally accepted. The sixray corydoras belongs in Aspidoras.[7]\nCorydoras are generally found in smaller-sized streams, along the margins of larger rivers, in marshes, and in ponds.[2] They are native to slow-moving and almost still (but seldom stagnant) streams and small rivers of South America, where the water is shallow and very clear. Most species are bottom-dwellers, foraging in sand, gravel or detritus.[2] The banks and sides of the streams are covered with a dense growth of plants and this is where the corys are found. They inhabit a wide variety of water types but tend toward soft, neutral to slightly acidic or slightly alkaline pH and 5-10 degrees of hardness. They can tolerate only a small amount of salt (some species tolerate none at all) and do not inhabit environments with tidal influences. They are often seen in shoals.[2] Most species prefer being in groups and many species are found in schools or aggregations of hundreds or even thousands of individuals, usually of a single species, but occasionally with other species mixed in. Unlike most catfishes, which are nocturnal, these species are active during the daytime.[2]\nTheir main food is bottom-dwelling insects and insect larvae and various worms, as well as some vegetable matter. Although no corys are piscivorous, they will eat flesh from dead fishes. Their feeding method is to search the bottom with their sensory barbels and suck up food items with their mouth, often burying their snout up to their eyes.\nIn several species of Corydoras, it has been observed that the fishes, after initial evasive reaction to threat, lie still; this is suggested to be a form of cryptic behavior. However, it is also argued that most species do not have cryptic coloration nor freezing behavior and continue to exist.[2] A few species of Otocinclus: (O. affinis, O. flexilis, O. mimulus and O. xakriaba) are considered to be Batesian mimics of certain Corydoras species (C. diphyes, C. garbei, C. nattereri and C. paleatus, respectively). These species have bony plates of armor and strong spines as defenses, making them less palatable; by mimicking these species in size and coloration, Otocinclus avoid predation.[2]\nA unique form of insemination has been described in Corydoras aeneus. When these fish reproduce, the male will present his abdomen to the female. The female will attach her mouth to the male's genital opening, creating the well-known \"T-position\" many Corydoras exhibit during courtship. The female will then drink the sperm. The sperm rapidly moves through her intestines and is discharged together with her eggs into a pouch formed by her pelvic fins. The female can then swim away and deposit the pouch somewhere else alone. Because the T-position is exhibited in other species than just C. aeneus, it is likely that this behavior is common in the genus.[8]\nThe genus is well known among aquarists for its many ornamental species.[9] They are well suited to tropical freshwater community aquariums, as they get along well with other species and are not at all aggressive. Corydoras are quite timid and are recommended to be kept in shoals of three upwards. Corys are mostly bottom feeders, so they should be offered sinking pellets as well as supplements of live and frozen foods. If flake foods are used, care should be taken to prevent all food from being eaten by faster moving fish at the higher levels of the tank.\nMost corys prefer soft, acidic water. They can, however, tolerate a wide range of water conditions, including temperatures that are cooler than tropical. They do not do well in fish tanks with high nitrate levels. This ion leads to the infection of the barbels, which will shorten and become useless. The barbels may also be affected by constant contact with a sharp substrate. They are more likely to thrive if there is an open area of substrate on the bottom of the tank where they can obtain submerged food. It is a myth that salt cannot be used on this species of fish as a means of parasite medication. Salt can be added to the water of the Corydoras catfish in order to rid the fish of ich. These fish are fairly easy to keep, being peaceful, hardy, active and entertaining. Occasionally they will dart to the surface, sticking their snout above the water for an instant to take a \"breath\" of air. This behavior is perfectly normal and is not an indication that anything is wrong with the fish. However, if this is done in excess, it can indicate poor water conditions.\nWhere investigated Corydoras sp. have been shown to be diurnal and crepuscular rather than nocturnal and activity can even peak at twilight.[10] Corydoras are very good choices for a community aquarium and are widely kept throughout the world. Their longevity in the aquarium is noteworthy; C. aeneus is said to have lived 27 years in captivity and 20 years is not too uncommon.\nThere are currently 161 recognized species in this genus:\nCorydoras acrensis Nijssen, 1972 (Acre corydoras)\nCorydoras acutus Cope, 1872 (Black-top corydoras)\nCorydoras adolfoi W.

It originates in coastal drainages in South America from Rio de Janeiro to Santa Catarina, Brazil.\nBlue corydoras\nThe blue corydoras or Natterer's catfish (Corydoras nattereri) is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the Callichthyidae family. It originates in coastal rivers in South America, and is found in the Brazil from Esp\u00edrito Santo to Paran\u00e1. It is named for Johann Natterer, its discoverer.\nThe fish has clear fins with no pattern. The ventrals are light, opaque yellow. Highlights seen about the gill plates are green. The belly is yellowish. It has a pronounced dark stripe along the length of the body. General color of the body is light, tending towards yellow. Its eyes are gold. It will grow in length up to 5.4 centimetres (2.1 inches).\nIt lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0 \u2013 8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2 \u2013 25 dGH, and a temperature range of 20\u201323 \u00b0C (68\u201373 \u00b0F). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs.\nThe blue corydoras is of commercial importance in the aquarium trade industry.\nBluespotted corydoras\nThe bluespotted corydoras, blacksail corydoras, blackspotted corydoras, dotted corydoras, Guiana cat or Guiana corydoras (Corydoras melanistius) is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the coastal rivers of French Guiana, Guyana, and Suriname. The specific epithet melanistius means black sail, referring to the dorsal fin.\nThe fish will grow in length up to 5.1 centimetres (2.0 inches). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0 - 8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2 - 25 dGH, and a temperature range of 22\u201326 \u00b0C (72\u201379 \u00b0F). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs. The female holds 2-4 eggs between her pelvic fins, where the male fertilizes them for about 30 seconds. Only then does the female swim to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. The pair repeats this process until about 100 eggs have been fertilized and attached.\nThe bluespotted corydoras is of commercial importance in the aquarium trade industry.\nThe bronze corydoras (Corydoras aeneus), green corydoras, bronze catfish, lightspot corydoras or wavy catfish is a tropical freshwater fish in the \"armored catfish\" family, Callichthyidae, often kept in captivity by fish keepers. It is widely distributed in South America on the eastern side of the Andes, from Colombia and Trinidad to the R\u00edo de la Plata basin. It was originally described as Hoplosoma aeneum by Theodore Gill in 1858 and has also been referred to as Callichthys aeneus.\nCallichthyidae is a family of catfishes (order Siluriformes), called armored catfishes due to the two rows of bony plates (or scutes) along the lengths of their bodies. It contains some of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish, such as many species in the genus Corydoras.\nCorydoras julii (also known as the julii cory or leopard catfish) is a small freshwater catfish native to eastern Brazil. It is a popular aquarium fish.\nCorydoras paleatus is a species of catfish (order Siluriformes) of the family Callichthyidae. Its common names include blue leopard corydoras, mottled corydoras and peppered catfish. It originates from the lower Paran\u00e1 River basin and coastal rivers in Uruguay and Brazil.\nCorydoras panda is a species of catfish belonging to the genus Corydoras, of the family Callichthyidae, and is a native member of the riverine fauna of South America. It is found in Peru and Ecuador, most notably in the Huanaco region, where it inhabits the Rio Aquas, the Rio Amarillae, a tributary of the Rio Pachitea, and the Rio Ucayali river system. The species was first collected by Randolph H. Richards in 1968, and was named Corydoras panda by Nijssen and Isbr\u00fccker in 1971. The specific name is an allusion to the appearance of the fish, which possesses large black patches surrounding the eyes, reminiscent of those found on the giant panda. Accordingly, the common names for this fish, which is a popular aquarium species, are panda corydoras and panda catfish.\nThe dwarf corydoras (Corydoras hastatus), dwarf catfish, tail spot pygmy catfish, or micro catfish is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the Callichthyidae family. It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the Amazon River and Paraguay River basins in Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil. The specific epithet hastatus means with a spear, in reference to the spearhead-like spot on the tail root.\nThe emerald catfish (Corydoras splendens) is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the family Callichthyidae native to the Amazon Basin in South America. It has traditionally been known as Brochis splendens. The fish has appeared on a stamp in Brazil.\nHan Nijssen\nHan Nijssen (1935\u2013 2013) was a Dutch ichthyologist.Nijssen was born in Amsterdam and obtained his PhD at the University of Amsterdam in May 1970 with the dissertation Revision of the Surinam catfishes of the genus Corydoras. Later he was a curator at Zo\u00f6logisch Museum in Amsterdam.\nNijssen worked extensively with fish from South America, and was the author of several species, e.g. Corydoras weitzmani and Corydoras xinguensis.\nCollaborating with Isa\u00e4c Isbr\u00fccker he described, among others, the group Hypancistrus and the species Hypancistrus zebra and Corydoras panda.\nHe also collaborated with Sven O. Kullander.\nThe species Corydoras nijsseni and Apistogramma nijsseni are named after him.\nThis is an alphabetically ordered list of Corydoras species.\nEach entry includes: binomial scientific name, describer and year of publication.\nSome entries are indicated with existing (common name) and synonyms.\nList of aquarium fish by scientific name\nThis page lists all fish commonly kept in aquariums and ponds.\nA vast number of aquatic species have successfully adapted to live in the freshwater aquarium. This list gives some examples of the most common species found in home aquariums.\nMasked corydoras\nThe masked corydoras, bandit catfish, bandit corydoras, or Meta River corydoras, Corydoras metae, is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in inland waters of South America, and is found in the Meta River basin in Colombia.\nThe masked corydoras can grow up to 1.8 in (4.8 cm) in length. It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0 - 8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2 - 25 dGH, and a temperature range of 72 - 79\u00b0F (22 - 26\u00b0C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. The female holds 2-4 eggs between her pelvic fins, where the male fertilizes them for about 30 seconds. After fertilization the female swims to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. The masked corydoras lays eggs in dense vegetation without adult protection. The pair repeats this process until about 100 eggs have been fertilized and attached.\nThe masked corydoras is of commercial importance in the aquarium trade industry.\nSailfin corydoras\nThe sailfin corydoras (Scleromystax macropterus), bigfin corydoras, or largefin corydoras is a subtropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in coastal rivers in South America, and is found from S\u00e3o Paulo to Santa Catarina, Brazil and some upper Paran\u00e1 River tributaries. It was originally described, under the name Corydoras macropterus, by C. Tate Regan in 1913.\nThe fish will grow in length up to 3.4 inches (8.7 centimeters). It lives in a subtropical climate in water with a 6.0 \u2013 8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2 \u2013 25 dGH, and a temperature range of 64 \u2013 70 \u00b0F (18 \u2013 21 \u00b0C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs.\nThe sailfin corydoras is of commercial importance in the aquarium trade industry.\nSterba's corydoras\nSterba's corydoras (Corydoras sterbai) is a member of the South American Corydoras genus of freshwater aquarium catfish and one of the most popular species of Corydoras due to its attractive markings. The fish is native to the Guapor\u00e9 River region between Bolivia and Brazil.Sterba's cory is distinguishable from other Corydoras species as it has white spots on a black background on its head. It is occasionally confused with Corydoras haraldschultzi; the difference is that the latter has a pattern of black dots on a white background on the head. C. sterbai has recently become available in an albino form and a black form.\nLike many Corydoras species, Sterba's corydoras is a shoaling catfish, and thus should ideally be kept in groups of 5 or more. In the wild it can be found in Brazil and thus, wild caught fish prefer soft, acidic water. However, Sterba's corydoras is a hardy fish and tank bred specimens have adapted to a wider range of water conditions. However, like almost all fish it will not tolerate high levels of nitrates.\nUnlike some other catfish they are not good algae eaters, but are good at \"cleaning up\" leftover food and detritus from the substrate.\nCorydoras sterbai are relatively small for catfish, growing to a maximum size of only 2\u20132.6 inches (5.1\u20136.6 cm).\nSychr's catfish\nSychr's catfish (Corydoras sychri) is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the Nanay River basin in Loreto, Peru.\nThe fish grows up to 1.7 inches (4.3 cm). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6\u20138 pH, a water hardness of 2\u201325 dGH, and a temperature range of 72\u201379 \u00b0F (22\u201326 \u00b0C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs. The female holds 2\u20134 eggs between her pelvic fins, where the male fertilizes them for about 30 seconds. Only then does the female swim to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. The pair repeats this process until about 100 eggs have been fertilized and attached.\nThreestripe corydoras\nThe three stripe corydoras (Corydoras trilineatus), leopard catfish, false julii corydoras, or three line catfish is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the Corydoradinae sub-family of the Callichthyidae family. It originates in inland waters in South America, and is found in the central Amazon River basin in Brazil and Colombia, Peruvian Amazon and coastal rivers in Suriname.\nThe fish will grow in length up to 2.5 inches (6.1 centimeters). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0\u20138.0 pH, a water hardness of 5\u201319 dGH, and a temperature range of 72\u201379 \u00b0F (22\u201326 \u00b0C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs. The female holds 2-4 eggs between her pelvic fins, where the male fertilizes them for about 30 seconds. Only then does the female swim to a suitable spot, where she attaches the very sticky eggs. The pair repeats this process until about 100 eggs have been fertilized and attached.\nThe threestripe corydoras is of commercial importance in the aquarium trade industry. It is often mistakenly sold as Corydoras julii since C. julii also has a horizontal strip running along the sides of its body. The distinct difference between C. trilineatus and C. julii is in their markings. The hardier and more adaptable C. trilineatus has reticulations, while C. julii is distinguished by its \"leopard\" spots, although there is also a spotted form of C. trilineatus. They are best differentiated by the stripes on the side. In C. trilineatus, the stripes are much more pronounced and solid than in C. julii.",

        "raw_content": "Time to put an end to film censorship\nRecently, a committee headed by veteran filmmaker Shyam Benegal had submitted its report recommending a number of amendments to the Cinematograph Act, 1952.\nThe Central Board of Film Certification (often referred to as the Censor Board) is a statutory censorship and classification body under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India.\nIt is tasked with \u201cregulating the public exhibition of films under the provisions of the Cinematograph Act 1952\u201d.\nFilms can be publicly exhibited in India only after they are certified by the Board, including films shown on television.\nFilms are certified into four categories\n\u2018U\u2019 (Unrestricted)\n\u2018UA\u2019 (Unrestricted, but with caution that parental discretion is required for children under age 12)\n\u2018A\u2019 (Adult)\n\u2018S\u2019 (Only for a special class of persons).\nFilms with S certification should not be viewed by the public. Only people associated with science (Engineers, Doctors, Scientists etc.) have permission to watch those films.\nKey recommendations of the Committee:-\nAn emphasis on certification over censorship (or so it claims)\nCBFC should only be a film certification body whose scope should be restricted to categorizing the suitability of the film to audience groups on the basis of age and maturity except in the following instances to refuse certification \u2013\nWhen a film contains anything that contravenes the provisions of Section 5B (1) of the Cinematograph Act, 1952.\nWhen content in a film crosses the ceiling laid down in the highest category of certification.\nMore categories of certification, more leeway\nRegarding the categorisation of films, the committee recommends that it should be more specific and apart from U category, the UA Category can be broken up into further sub-categories \u2014 UA12+ & UA15+. The A category should also be sub-divided into A and AC (Adult with Caution) categories.\nCurbing potential \u2018reigns of terror\u2019\nThe committee has also made certain recommendations regarding the functioning of the board and has stated that the Board, including Chairman, should only play the role of a guiding mechanism for the CBFC, and not be involved in the day-to-day affairs of certification of films.\nThe government will have no (direct) hand in appointing Examining Committee members.\nRegarding the Regional Advisory Panel the committee has laid down the criteria for appointment. All nine regions will have advisory panels comprising persons who are acquainted with the languages being certified by that regional office.\nThe board will, once again, have the power of re-certifying films for TV\nRecertification of a film for purposes of telecast on television or for any other purpose should be permitted.\nThe CBFC-certified version of a film will not be valid for posterity\n\u201cIn order to preserve Indian Cinema, the committee recommends that every applicant be asked to deposit the Director\u2019s Cut in the NFAI [National Film Archive of India] for preservation of Indian Cinema, instead of the certified version, in order to truly reflect the cinematic history of Indian cinema.\u201d\nTagged Cinema, Committees/Reports, Indian Society\nPrevious postEco-sensitive Zone\nNext postLiberate the legislator",

        "raw_content": "Larry Page once said the perfect search engine understands what you mean and gives back exactly what you want. The first part of that statement is increasingly defined by voice SEO. The second half of that statement is determined by still learning artificial intelligences, driven by both improving AI technology and data mining.\nThe original computing model per Golden Age science fiction was one city sized computer running the world. Every computer in the world was really a terminal connected to the world\u2019s true computing hub. The internet that arose in the 1980s relied on connections between millions of smaller computers and many servers. It was distributed and democratic. Cloud computing brings efficiencies of scale, and it is delivering centralization.\nWhile there are still home brew servers hosting Minecraft and personal websites, even many individuals pay for a small partition on a cloud server or blog and store data for free on a cloud server. While we are not yet back to the retro-futuristic vision of one massive city sized computer, we are approaching it when there fewer massive data centers handling most of the load. Personal computers and hosting won\u2019t go away, but there is a point where Pareto\u2019s law applies, rendering the small players nearly irrelevant. And we are at that point where most web searches, data storage and computing is controlled only a few major players.\nArtificial intelligence requires significant investment by top talent and hardware, software and networking resources few can match. For that reason, we\u2019ll use the names of big players in AI as the few major firms that count. They are Amazon (Alexa), Microsoft (Cortana), Apple (Siri) and Google (Assistant). These companies are likely to remain in the lead, too, because they already have ways to monetize the voice search queries and, in most cases, the information appliances they sell. Whether it is making money off apps, advertising, content sales like Google books or product sales, their ability to make money delivering products and services ensures they\u2019ll remain dominant. The sheer amount of data they collect on consumers allows them to sell better, too, to the market.\nWhether or not we need to review the biases in content delivery and censorship of these few large players becoming similar to public utilities is a whole other debate. The fact remains that they are so large now that they nearly crowd out anyone else. The second tier competitors are either catering to niches these main companies choose to ignore or don\u2019t fully serve.\nSome social media sites are trying to reach that same level. Facebook and WeChat\u2019s growth of apps that work entirely within their websites and procurement of unique content, giving rise to an information ecosystem that keeps people there for almost all their needs is an attempt to rival Google or Apple. However, without the ability to use information appliances and the solid income stream from a portion of almost everything sold to consumers, they may not have the resources to grow and reach the top tier.\nThe massive data collection by the biggest players, their Big Data analysis tools and top talent provide the information that leads to AIs learning. Their AIs learn how to understand voice search faster, recognize shifts in conversational context more readily, collate data more effectively to make the ideal product suggestions and predict individual\u2019s preferences more accurately. The greater convenience these more intelligent AIs give consumers and improved performance is why it is logical to predict the big players will remain in their dominant positions, and why consolidations will be among those few big players or their acquisitions of companies in the second tier.\nAnd with every merger and purchase, we move closer to the one super-computer that watches all, knows all and tells us what it thinks we\u2019d like to do or should do. That\u2019s Page\u2019s vision. The only difference between the future and the retro-future is the fact that the AI is in a cloud distributed across dozens of data centers each the size of a small city instead of one large city.\ncloud computing, iise, Internet, Tamara Wilhite, technology, the cloud",

        "raw_content": "Los Alamos County, New Mexico, Asks Residents for Input\nLos Alamos County is commonly known as home to the Los Alamos National Laboratory. It may soon also be home to an incredible next-generation network owned by the community.\nNew Mexico's Regional Economic Development Initiative (REDI) received BTOP funding to construct a middle-mile fiber network connecting anchor institutions in Rio Arriba, northern Santa Fe, and Los Alamos Counties, along with the City of Espanola, and Pueblos of Ohkay Owingeh, Santa Clara, San Ildefonso, and Tesuque. REDI is also working with local coops and with municipal utilities to bring the network across the northern part of the state.\nLos Alamos County is expanding from the middle-mile network in anticipation of bringing fiber to every premise in Los Alamos county, about 8,900 homes and businesses. The design for the project is 90% complete and cost estimates are around $61 million.\nWhile initial possibilities included cost projections for 100 Mbps and 300 Mbps connections, the County is pursuing 1 Gbps connectivity after early debate. From an April, 2011 article in the LAMonitor.com:\n\u201cThese are immediate local uses for the infrastructure. But it\u2019s also a long-term need,\u201d [Tobey] Johnson, [managing partner of the Broadband Planning Group] said. \u201cWhen you look at making this type of infrastructure investment in your community, it\u2019s essential that the infrastructure\u2019s going to be utilized for the next 30 years. So while there might be a handful of examples for uses today, how will it be used five years from now, 10 years from now? How will it be used locally in the community? How will it be used to connect the community to the outside world? A lot of those advances are still coming down the road, but we feel the best starting point for infrastructure is to look at gigabit speeds.\u201d\nThe network will be open access with the hope of creating meaningful competition for consumers in Los Alamos County. At this point, no financing mechanism is in place and the surveys include questions on the public's tolerance for debt on the project.\nAs the county begins to formulate a business plan, they are now conducting research directly with the public. According to the Los Alamos Daily Post:\nAs part of this survey, the County is interested in conducting market research to assess demand and interest in broadband services, as well as explore preferences regarding methods of financing the CBN project and willingness to pay for the various costs to install and operate the network.\nThe surveys will be conducted at Time Out Pizza in White Rock, the Mesa Public Library, The Coffee House and The Reel Deal Theater. The in-person surveys are in addition to the telephone surveys that were conducted in September. The survey should take less than 3 minutes to fill out.\nThe face-to-face surveys will supplement telephone surveys conducted in September. Project IT Manager, Estevan Gonzales, tells us the business plan may very well be completed by the end of the year.\nFor more details on this project, visit Los Alamos County's Communuity Broadband Network page, where the County provides links to documentation from the beginning of the process.\ncounty, syndicated\nMuniNetworks\tRaleigh Plans Hobbled by State Ban on Municipal Ne\u2026",

        "raw_content": "With an area of 11 square kilometers, the whole territory belongs to a private men\u2019s club in San Francisco. It is known as The Bohemian Club. Since 1899, the most respected people in the world come here every July.\nStarting from 1923, all presidents from the Republican party (and some from the Democratic party), political figures, businessmen, entrepreneurs, artists, and scientists became and become members of this club.\nFor more than 100 years, the club\u2019s activities have been kept secret. There have been lots of rumors and guesses: some people even thought that the Bohemian Club was the new world government and that the grove was the devil\u2019s place.\nJournalists are not allowed to enter the grove.\nInstalled in Alaska in 1997, this antenna field is situated in an uninhabited valley, and its area is 32 acres (13 hectares). HAARP was a target of conspiracy theorists, who claimed that this object could contribute to a climate anomaly, switch off satellites, and control the human mind. They were also sure that the program could cause an earthquake, a drought, hurricanes, floods, and even an epidemic.\n\u00a9 Dima Maximov/wiki\nThis town is one of the \u201cmost closed\u201d in Russia. Official sources say that it\u2019s situated in the Republic of Bashkortostan. It\u2019s also said that an underground capital is being built there. In contrast to many other closed Russian cities, there are no research institutes, military facilities, nuclear weapon and nuclear fuel industries, and so on. It\u2019s still unknown what is actually being done in Mezhgorye.\nThis town, built to defend Saint Petersburg, attracts lots of tourists with its old forts that serve as defense constructions. Each fortress has its own valiant history and glorified name: Kronshlot, Citadel, Prince Menshikov, and so on. Today the port may be visited, but most of the forts are closed because they aren\u2019t safe.\n11. Mount Athos, Greek Macedonia\nThis majestic mountain is home to 20 marvelous monasteries, but not everyone is allowed to enjoy the view. Women and even female animals are prohibited to go there. Breaking this law may cause one year of imprisonment. We wonder if this rule applies to animals too\u2026\n10. The cellar where the Coca-Cola recipe is kept, Georgia, USA\nIt\u2019s said that only 2 people know the secret of this legendary beverage, and they always travel in different planes. The recipe is kept in the company\u2019s headquarters under high-tech locks that mere mortals can\u2019t access.\n9. The Danakil Desert, Ethiopia\nRegional war never stops near Ethiopia\u2019s border, and tourists don\u2019t visit this unique place. Scientists think it is an ancestral home for hominids (the great apes, who were our potential ancestors). It\u2019s a place where the remains of a female of the hominin species Australopithecus afarensis named Lucy were found.\n8. Motuo County, China, Tibetan Autonomous Region\nThis is a sacred land for Buddhists, and there is no road that leads there. Anyone who wants to feel the wisdom of centuries must go through wild mountain passes on foot. And there is a flimsy 655-foot-long bridge over an abyss. Just like in the Indiana Jones films.\n7. Oymyakon, Russia\nNature keeps curious tourists away from this town. It\u2019s the coldest inhabited place on Earth. How can people live when the temperature is \u221290.1\u00b0F?\n6. Javari Tribe Reservation, Brazil\nOn the border between Brazil and Peru, explorers found a tribe completely cut off from civilization. These 150 Indians are considered to be the descendants of slaves. They avoid any contact with the outside world and live in harmony with nature. Authorities worried about the indigenous peoples\u2019 safety and closed the area of their residence to visitors.\n5. The Pitcairn Islands, British Overseas Territory\nThe 50 people who live here are almost completely isolated from the world. Most of them are descendants of the crew of HMS Bounty, the outstanding ship. The members really loved this place and wanted to stay there, so they burned their ship. There is no distinct way to Pitcairn, so only random vessels come here from New Zealand.\n\u00a9 NMgnCP.com\nThe Cincinnati Subway is the biggest set of abandoned tunnels and stations in the USA. It was built in the 20th century but put on hold due to escalating costs. It was finally abandoned. During construction, the subway collapsed and fatally injured several workers. Though their bodies have been removed, it\u2019s said that their spirits still roam the empty halls.\nActually, this place may be visited, but only each year in May.\n3. Mecca and Medina\nOnly people who believe in Allah are allowed to enjoy the fantastic beauty of the mosques and palaces and amazing relics and artifacts. Non-Muslims are strictly prohibited to come to the sacred cities. Such desecration of the holy places is punishable by death under sharia law.\nThis highway connects Pakistan and China at an elevation of 15,466 feet (5 kilometers). Despite its breathtaking view, the highway was closed because of landslides and avalanches.\n1. Snake Island, Brazil\nNo one lives on this island in the Atlantic Ocean, and there is only an automated lighthouse. The reason is simple: there are lots of poisonous snakes here, including the golden lancehead, one of the most dangerous venomous reptiles in the world. This unique place became a wildlife sanctuary, and Brazil\u2019s authorities prohibit anyone from going there.",

But Does it Work in Theory?\nHoang, L\u00ea Nguy\u00ean ; Guerraoui, Rachid\nDeep learning relies on a very specific kind of neural networks: those superposing several neural layers. In the last few years, deep learning achieved major breakthroughs in many tasks such as image analysis, speech recognition, natural language processing, and so on. Yet, there is no theoretical explanation of this success. In particular, it is not clear why the deeper the network, the better it actually performs. We argue that the explanation is intimately connected to a key feature of the data collected from our surrounding universe to feed the machine learning algorithms: large non-parallelizable logical depth. Roughly speaking, we conjecture that the shortest computational descriptions of the universe are algorithms with inherently large computation times, even when a large number of computers are available for parallelization. Interestingly, this conjecture, combined with the folklore conjecture in theoretical computer science that $ P \\neq NC$, explains the success of deep learning.\nView record in ArXiv",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Get Inked \u00bb Potential Cons of Homeschooling on Health\nThis post is insanely hard for me to write. We extol the virtues of homeschooling on a regular basis, but lately we\u2019ve been actively looking for the cons. After all, everyone should be fully prepared for every eventuality in life. The first two cons of homeschooling we\u2019ve found are on health.\nImmune system concern\nPollen lurks in beauty.\nWhen we are exposed to various bacteria, viruses, pollen, and other things in the wide world, we develop a stronger immune system. The saying \u201cwhat doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger\u201d is mostly right here. As long as the immune system isn\u2019t overloaded, a small amount of adversity in the system is a good thing.\nYet, there are a few (very few) groups of homeschoolers that isolate themselves to the point where they may not test \u2500 and thus grow \u2500 the immune system. This can lead to allergies, a more severe reaction to different illnesses, and in extreme cases the child might be intimidated by the world around them.\nTo plan for this, simply get out in the world more. Most people already have co-op days, church/community meetings, playdates, museum visits, playground time, family time\u2026\nLet\u2019s just say there\u2019s a lot of interactivity. This is usually enough, but in case you have a kid that doesn\u2019t want to get out, aim to get them out a bit more and interacting with all those variables so they can build their immune systems.\nA mental health concern\nThis one has two parts that we\u2019ve heard from the gaggle of Insanitekian homeschoolers and even some research. 1: Noticing mental illnesses when they start and 2: being strong and prepared for all the world can throw at the kids after they are adults.\nMental health is doable.\n99.9% of people are perfectly normal with their own set of quirks. The more we learn about the world and the more we classify these quirks to give names to it, the more likely someone will give a scary name to whatever your child\u2019s quirks are.\nIn the rare change that a mental health issue, even a minor one, might arise it\u2019s always good to notice it at its early stages so you can work through it. It\u2019s important not to become reticent to any and all mental health concerns. We, as humans and family members, are more important than ignoring problems.\nIt\u2019s a normal fact of life that the more time we spend with people, the more we don\u2019t necessarily see minor changes in people. We have a tendency to chalk it up to a bad night\u2019s sleep, hormones, etc. A friend may be more able to see when something goes awry.\nPreparing for the world.\nKeep pushing and exploring new things to grow.\nThis is similar to socialising concerns that many people have. But, as noted above, there are a lot of activities that homeschoolers do that are both socialising and testing their immune system. The concern here is that there isn\u2019t enough variability in different personalities and trials that will prepare children for the world at large \u2500 no matter what they encounter.\nHonestly, this isn\u2019t any different from any other environment that children are in, and it\u2019s nothing to really stress about. However, if you want to help your child be prepared for more in the world, there is a fun solution.\nThe solution? Read a variety of memoirs, biographies, autobiographies, and even watch vlogs. Then, discuss what\u2019s going on, good ways to approach problems, and different ways to help people who might need help.\nLet\u2019s talk. What kind of things do you do to combat these potential cons of homeschooling on health?",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s getting to be the hottest time of the year and as the sun comes out, so do the hats, cold drinks and backyard barbeques.\nSummer is the season that most of us long for all year and a season where many prospective buyers are braving the heat to look for their next home. Here are a few tips to make your home more summer-friendly to prospective buyers which will enhance the chance of that dream sale.\nUsing the right colours can add that fresh and cool look to your home. You don\u2019t have to spend lots of money on repainting the walls \u2013 investing in bright, summery cushions and d\u00e9cor, fresh fruit and bright flowers will give your home that fresh, appealing edge.\nOpen your windows and sliding doors. Although air-conditioning feels great, some buyers don\u2019t jump at the chance of having to deal with huge electricity bills to keep the house cool. The design of some homes may not allow for this, but allowing natural airflow through open windows and screens, with fans turned on at a low speed, can really enhance that cool, fresh feeling to your property.\nMake sure the grass and garden is tidy. You may not know it, but unkempt grass and gardens can add a claustrophobic and shabby feel to your property. In hotter climates, maintaining a clean, low-density garden can add appeal for those buyers looking to escape the heat.\nThe best tip for selling this summer is to put on your \u2018buyers shoes\u2019 and take a look around your house as if you were inspecting it for the first time on a hot, sunny day.\nBlog, Selling\nSeven signs that you need a new nest\nSome people like moving house as it gives them the feeling of having a \u201cfresh start\u201d every few years. But for most of us, moving is a stressful experience we prefer to put off as long as possible.\nSometimes it is really necessary though, says Richard Gray, CEO of Harcourts Real Estate, and there are certain definite signs that the time has come for you to start looking for a new home.\nThe most common of these is that your family has outgrown your current home. \u201cAs children get older they need more space, such as their own bedrooms, and their own work/ recreation areas. They also don\u2019t necessarily leave home these days as soon as they\u2019ve finished studying, and if you also need to accommodate aging parents, it is very likely that you will need a bigger home.\u201d\nSimilarly, he says, if you were single but are now part of a couple, you will probably want to move soon from your trendy studio apartment or tiny townhouse to something bigger. New marriages and partnerships are another major reason for people to move home.\n\u201cAlternatively, you could be in a situation now where your family has grown and gone off to set up their own homes and you suddenly have too much house \u2013 that is, rooms you don\u2019t even use and a big garden that is troublesome to maintain. And if you are about to retire or have already done so, you may feel even more strongly that the time has come to sell and move to a new place that gives you more security, better weather, and more freedom to do what you want.\u201d\nGray says other major reasons to move include the following:\n* Financial worries. If you are straining to pay your utility bills and running costs on top of your home loan repayment every month, you should really consider moving soon to a more affordable home, so that you can get a grip on your finances \u2013 and sleep better.\n* Transport woes. If you\u2019re weary of traffic congestion or a long and costly commute each day, it may well be time to consider moving closer to work \u2013 and preferably to a neighbourhood where the schools, shops and sports facilities are within walking distance.\n*Too much maintenance. Some people love home improvement and DIY, but if you want to spend your weekends doing something other than mowing the lawn or retiling the bathroom, it could be that you need to move to a new home in complex where someone else will take care of most of the maintenance. Or you may just want a more energy efficient, \u201cgreen\u201d, home that will save you money on utilities.\nAnd finally, he says, a move is urgently indicated if you believe that your neighbourhood is going into a decline. \u201cIf you notice more litter, more loiterers in the park, more empty shops and houses, and more crime or police activity, the writing is on the wall and you should sell your property and move as soon as possible.\u201d",

The statement comes after the leaders of 179 local unions voted \u201coverwhelmingly\u201d to move forward. The opposition is rooted in the starting wages and the creation of a new tier of package-car drivers who would work weekends and earn less per hour than current drivers. Though the contract calls for wages to reach $15 per hour over the life of the contract, Piercey says the rate should immediately move to $15. UPS wants to alleviate mandatory overtime and create more full-time jobs by creating \u201ccombination\u201d workers who would deliver packages part of the week and work \u201cinside\u201d jobs. The pay for this new type of worker would top out at $30 an hour, compared to $36 for a traditional full-time driver.",

        "raw_content": "The passage I'm about to post is mind-boggling to me in its frankness and its relevance, because a source I followed years ago, Stefan Lanka, said the same thing about the so-called AIDS virus. Only he was/is a scientist, not an insider or a journalist.\nThis comes right after the part about bringing down Nixon:\nQ: Did you ever work in that way?\nA: Yes. In Africa. I found reporters and government people who loved the idea that a new germ was on the loose and was going to be a plague. Great story. My job was essentially to find people who would accept the highly suspect idea that Robert Gallo, a man who had experience failing in the War on Cancer, was discovering a germ that would explain a great deal of death and suffering on a continent where the reasons for that had been known for centuries. It was a delicate thing. I had to use World Health Organization experts, and I had the backing of one or two people at the World Bank. I was one of the front men in what was essentially an intelligence operation. A pure disinformation operation.\nAianawa (Today), Aragorn (10th February 2019), Dreamtimer (10th February 2019), Elen (10th February 2019), Kathy (10th February 2019)\nSo in this excerpt, he is actually saying that they were \u2500 with the support from people at the World Bank \u2500 creating a hype regarding an imaginary pandemic. Well, things like that certainly affect the economy, and are therefore quite Machiavellian in nature.\nBut that said, my brother and I have both served in the military over here \u2500 we still had compulsory military duty in those days \u2500 and my brother was stationed at a NATO communications base. He had a security clearance because he had to process all kinds of classified documents. He told me \u2500 and this was corroborated by the Colonel in charge of the base at the time \u2500 that AIDS and Ebola had both been weaponized. Mind you, I'm not saying that they were genetically engineered diseases, but that they had been weaponized, meaning that NATO had devised methods of spreading both diseases.\nAianawa (Today), Dreamtimer (10th February 2019), Elen (10th February 2019), Kathy (10th February 2019), WantDisclosure (10th February 2019)\nThe work that Stefan Lanka did had to do with the claim that a virus had been isolated and it caused AIDS. He challenged Gallo's work and he also showed that the real cause of AIDS was extreme drug abuse. Ellis Medavoy seems to be saying that in Africa it has not been an AIDS epidemic it has been extreme poverty and malnutrition.\nBut I do think that biological weapons are created in labs.\nThat they have been and still are being created is a given. Most of the documents my brother had to process pertained to NBC (\"nuclear, biological and chemical warfare\"). The question however is to what extent they have so far been (and are perhaps still being) deployed.\nPeople are so dumb. Most scientific and medical breakthroughs are accidental. People who think they can control germs which evolve at rates which are still likely beyond our comprehension are just dumb, imo.\nAianawa (Today), Aragorn (10th February 2019), Elen (10th February 2019), Kathy (10th February 2019), WantDisclosure (10th February 2019)\nI just don't know about HIV and Ebola. I think Jon Rappoport has written about Ebola. There is so much to learn from him.\nOne whole section in this The Matrix Revealed that I'm reading is about AIDS.\nI think Jon Rappoport has written about Ebola.\nGoogle Advanced Search did not work for Rappoport\u2019s website, so I had to pull this from a re-posting of his work:\nEbolagate: 47 questions and answers By Jon Rappoport\nSource: www.nomorefakenews.com\nA: Above all else, it is people making an automatic connection between their own frightening image of Ebola and the statement, \"So-and-so is sick.\"\nQ: \"Sick\" doesn't automatically=Ebola?\nA: That's right, even when an authority says some person is sick and in the hospital and has Ebola.\nA: Around its ankles. It was claiming tens of thousands of Americans had Swine Flu, when that wasn't the case at all. So why should we believe them now, when they say, \"The patient was tested and he has Ebola.\" The CDC is Fraud Central.\nA: The diagnostic tests being run on patients---the antibody and PCR tests are most frequently used---are utterly unreliable and useless.\nQ: Therefore, many, many people could be labeled \"Ebola,\" when that is not the case at all?\nA: People are always sick and dying. You can find them anywhere you look. That doesn't mean they're Ebola cases.\nQ: In other words, medical authorities can place a kind of theoretical grid over sick and dying people and reinterpret them as \"Ebola.\"\nA: Exactly. The map can be drawn in any number of ways.\nQ: Could an \"Ebola patient\" have other viruses in his body?\nA: Of course. Many other viruses. The mere presence of a virus does not mean a person is sick or is going to get sick.\nQ: What test needs to be run, in order to say, \"This person is sick because of Ebola.\"\nA: First of all, the Ebola virus would need to be isolated from the patient directly. The two tests I mentioned above are indirect. Then, if Ebola is isolated from the patient directly, a test needs to show that the patient is harboring millions of active Ebola virus---that's called a test for titer.\nQ: Are these procedures being done as a matter of course on people suspected of having Ebola?\nQ: We're told that the Dallas Ebola patient was vomiting profusely outside his apartment, before he was sent to the hospital. Isn't this a symptom of Ebola?\nA: It could be a symptom of many things. Some news reports state that the patient had already been to the hospital, where he was given antibiotics and sent home. All classes of antibiotics list nausea and vomiting as adverse effects.\nQ: So the symptoms of Ebola, like cough, fever, fatigue, diarrhea---these can be attributed to many causes?\nA: Absolutely. The flu, for example.\nQ: Now we're seeing a search operation for contacts of several Ebola patients.\nA: This will whip up hysteria to new heights. But where is the proof that the original patients have Ebola?\nQ: Again, the original patients are sick.\nA: \"Sick\" does not automatically equal \"Ebola.\"\nQ: What's killing all those people in West Africa?\nA: With the tests being run on them---and many are simply eyeballed and called \"Ebola\"---there is no proof that any of these people have Ebola.\nQ: There are other long-term reasons for death and dying in West Africa?\nA: Protein-calorie malnutrition, hunger, starvation, extreme poverty, contaminated water supplies, overall lack of basic sanitation, a decade of horrific war, toxic medical drugs, prior toxic vaccine campaigns, etc.\nQ: And the combined effect of these conditions?\nA: Destruction of immune systems. Then, any germ that sweeps through the population, a germ that would ordinarily be defeated, instead kills many people. Why? Because the immune system is too weak to respond. With healthy and strong immune systems, the germs would have no significant effect.\nQ: What about the health workers in West Africa who have died?\nA: Since unreliable diagnostic tests would have been run on them, we don't have any idea why they died. But at least some of them were suffering greatly from working inside hazmat suits, sealed off from the outside. In a one-hour shift, in boiling heat, they were losing five quarts of body fluid, then coming out, rehydrating, disinfecting with toxic chemicals, putting their suits on again, going back to patients for the next shift, losing extraordinary amounts of body fluid again, and so forth and so on. That would cause anyone to collapse.\nQ: But this has to be an Ebola epidemic, with all the press coverage, with statements from the CDC, with announcements from experts.\nA: That's what they said about Swine Flu, which was a dud. This doesn't have to be Ebola just because official sources say it is.\nQ: Let's get back to the psychological factors involved here.\nA: A person has heard all about how dangerous Ebola is. He has a fear of some unknown invisible tiny killer, a virus. He has heard about \"bad diseases\" coming from Africa. Now, someone from the CDC stands up and talks about the threat of Ebola and says a patient with Ebola is in a Dallas hospital, and is sick. What's the effect? Utter acceptance of the idea that the hospital patient has Ebola. \"It's Ebola. It couldn't be anything else.\"\nQ: But it could be something else?\nQ: People don't want to accept that, though. They want to believe in the doctors and the CDC and the tests that are run on people to decide if they have Ebola.\nA: That belief isn't based on anything real.\nQ: People believe in the power of what they're told.\nA: Yes. It's interesting to see people who otherwise call the CDC a fraud suddenly accept the CDC's edict about Ebola. There is no rational substance to that acceptance.\nQ: So to be clear, you're saying there might not be an Ebola epidemic at all.\nA: What do you need to determine whether people have Ebola? Accurate diagnostic tests. Accurate tests aren't being done. So this is an unproven epidemic. And making the assertion of an epidemic is a hoax.\nQ: Like the Swine Flu.\nA: Exactly. As I said, in the summer of 2009, the CDC stopped counting cases of Swine Flu and yet maintained there was an epidemic. The samples of blood from patients they sent to labs showed, in the overwhelmingly number of cases, that there was no Swine Flu virus present.\nQ: And at that time, how many cases of Swine Flu had the CDC already said were present in the US?\nA: Tens of thousands.\nQ: And what did the CDC do next?\nA: Unbelievably, they doubled down and estimated there were 22 MILLION cases of Swine Flu in the US. That's the level of lying we're dealing with here. And now, the CDC says Ebola is loose. The diagnostic tests they're running and relying on are useless. But everybody and his brother believes the CDC.\nQ: Again, people dying doesn't automatically equal Ebola? You'll hear, \"What else could it be? It must be Ebola.\"\nA: People have all sorts of preconceptions that lead them to say, \"It must be Ebola.\" Here is the sequence: We hear nothing about people dying. Then the press reports, \"People are dying. It's an outbreak. It's Ebola.\" And that is automatically accepted. Why? Because populations have been tuned up by decades of propaganda to make those connections.\nQ: Believing what you say here---this would imply such an enormous level of fraud---it's unthinkable.\nA: No, it's not unthinkable. Again, for comparison, I refer you to the Swine Flu hoax. That was absolutely staggering. It was exposed by CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson in October of 2009. She published her work on the CBS website. CBS was about to put the story on the Evening News. Then it was stopped. Attkisson was cut off at the knees. Censored.\nA: Because the entire vaccine establishment, including the CDC, which is really a PR agency for pharmaceutical companies, would have been exposed for all to see. By calling Swine Flu an epidemic, millions and millions of Swine Flu shots were given. The CDC, knowing the \"epidemic\" was a fraud, their own fraud, was pitching the vaccine as if their lives depended on it.\nQ: Was the World Health Organization (WHO) involved in the fraud?\nA: They started it.\nA: As Peter Doshi has written in BMJ Online, in the spring of 2009, with only 20 cases of Swine Flu in the world---20---the WHO declared Swine Flu a \"level 6 pandemic,\" their highest classification of danger. Not only that, they changed their own definition of \"pandemic,\" so that it no longer had to mean widespread and severe death and dying. They just changed the meaning of word \"pandemic.\" Quite Orwellian.\nQ: But the US government is buying and distributing hazmat suits. People are being quarantined. There is a hunt for contacts of the Dallas patient. Stories in the press are ramping up fear. All these people couldn't be wrong.\nA: I have condos for sale on the moon. I think you might be an ideal customer.\nQ: Speaking of the CDC, a long-term scientist with the agency, William Thompson, recently admitted he committed fraud, when he co-authored a 2004 study that claimed the MMR vaccine had no connection to autism.\nA: Thompson had several co-authors from the CDC on that study. They all committed fraud. Consider the conversations that must have taken place at the CDC to arrange that fraud.\nQ: Do you think the fraud went all the way to the top of the CDC?\nA: In 2004, whistleblower Thompson wrote a letter to Julie Gerberding, the head of the CDC. He warned her he was about to present troubling and sensitive data about the vaccine at an upcoming conference on vaccines and autism. His meaning was clear. He had found a vaccine-autism connection.\nQ: What did Gerberding do?\nA: She never answered Thompson's letter, and his presentation at the conference was canceled.\nQ: Is Gerberding still the head of the CDC?\nA: No. She left the CDC in 2009.\nQ: Where is she now?\nA: She's the president of Merck vaccines.\nQ: What vaccine do they manufacture?\nA: The MMR.\nQ: The same vaccine Thompson found had a connection to autism?\nQ: And for 10 years, from 2004 to now, Thompson and his co-authors sat on the knowledge that the MMR vaccine has a connection to autism?\nQ: And this is the same CDC that now wants us to believe that there is an Ebola epidemic?\nA: Yes. As I was saying, I have a lovely condo for you on the dark side of the moon. Swimming pool, outdoor grill, playground for the kiddies, nine-hole golf course. Interested?\nQ: No comment. But since we've come this far, perhaps you could explain why the tests for diagnosing Ebola are unreliable and useless.\nA: Let's start with the antibody test. Two problems. First, the test is notorious for what's called \"cross-reactions.\" That means the test isn't really registering, in this case, the presence of Ebola. It's registering one of a whole host of other factors. For example, the patient received a vaccine, and that triggers a falsely positive reading.\nQ: What's the second problem?\nA: The antibody test doesn't say whether a person was sick, is sick, or will get sick. At best, if there are no cross-reactions, it merely says the person had contact with the virus in question. So a positive antibody test for Ebola is far from saying \"this person has Ebola.\" That's a lie. In fact, before 1985, the general conclusion from positive antibody tests was: this is a good sign; the patient's immune system contacted the germ and threw it off, defeated it.\nQ: What about the PCR test for Ebola?\nA: This test is prone to many mistakes, starting with the tiny, tiny sample of material taken from the patient. Is it really genetic material, and is that material really a piece of a virus, or is it just a piece of general and irrelevant debris? The test itself takes that tiny sample and amplifies it millions of times so it can be observed. Assuming it is actually Ebola virus, or a fragment of Ebola virus, there is no indication there is enough of the virus in the patient's body to make him sick. There have to be millions upon millions of active virus in the patient's body to begin to say that virus is causing problems. The PCR test says nothing about that. In fact, why was it necessary to do the PCR test at all? If the patient had enough Ebola virus in his body to cause illness, there was no need to search for a tiny fragment of a hoped-for Ebola virus, to start the PCR test. The virus would have been everywhere.\nhttps://exopolitics.blogs.com/ebolag...rappoport.html\nIf I'm not mistaken, Stefan Lanka made exactly the same point about the antibody and PCR tests in relation to HIV and AIDS. When I get time, I'll re-research his work, because I think he was on to something.\nI also have on my list of things to do to look up what happened to CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson in October of 2009.\nWilliam Thompson's story is also interesting. And Julie Gerberding.\ni'm looking forward to your reports and thank you for the diggin'. and while i'm at it, thank you to all who post here at TOT, much of which requires further diggin' down even deeper into an already, well dug hole.

It is very time consuming but worth it.\nAnd I'm grateful for a place to share without being told I need to be de-programmed, which is what my older sister said to me.\nWilliam Thompson's story is also interesting.\nWilliam Thompson's story is featured in the documentary VAXXED: From Coverup to Catastrophe:\nVAXXED.jpg\nThe Director of the documentary is Andrew Wakefield.\nYears ago I learned about Andrew Wakefield\u2019s experience going up against the international medical mafia.\nIn my opinion, he is another Jon Rappoport in his integrity.\nAianawa (Today), Aragorn (11th February 2019), Dreamtimer (11th February 2019), Kathy (12th February 2019)\nApparently, Sharyl Attkisson is a supporter of Trump.\nAm I allowed to talk about it here?\nYes, I'm a little bit angry.\nOn Date July 17, 2017\nAttkisson.jpg\nSharyl Attkisson, author of The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What you See, What you Think and How You Vote, and host of Full Measure, joins the Daily Caller News Foundation for an interview. Attkisson is a former CBS investigative reporter. She discusses what lessons the media needs to learn about itself in the wake of the 2016 election, and what lessons the public has learned about the media.\nShe also discusses President Trump's use of socal media and quips that Obama would have been \"heralded\" for being \"creative\" if he had used Twitter more. \"Because it is Trump, they are not going to say that about him. And also because of the nature of some of his tweets,\" she adds.\n\"I don't think the media has learned a lesson yet,\" Attkisson also said.\nBut: \"For the public though, the lesson was already learned. When you see these narratives, and these overwhelming opinions that are being perpetuated on the news, you can not always rely on those. In fact, I would question most of them. When you see this overwhelming sentiment on one side, because it is usually an effort to try to make you think in a certain way, or a way to make you not look in a different direction at something that they don't want you to pay attention to.\"\nDAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION: You talk pretty clinically about Transactional Journalism, as you call it. But from another point of view, with a lens that I might wear, you can also see it as political warfare. An effort to undermine, delegitimize, and remove a duly elected president, using some pretty threatening tactics. What do you say to that?\nSHARYL ATTKISSON: I think part of this was rooted in an ideological motive to unseat candidate Trump, and now to harm President Trump. And news agencies have admitted as much. We see news organizations, at least like I've never seen before, come forward and say this man is so dangerous, so [antithetical] to their beliefs that he is dangerous and we must suspend our normal rules of journalism, and our normal systems and processes.\nThink about that! Journalists exempting themselves from their own ethical systems and standards because they say this man is such a problem, and as a result, I think that is why we have seen formerly respectable news organizations -- CNN, The Washington Post, The New York Times-- make horrible mistakes that wouldn't have been tolerated in journalism school. Reporting mistakes with errors. That is my response to that.\nDAILY CALLER: Chapter six of your book, [The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What you See, What you Think and How You Vote] was rather jaw-dropping to me. Where you did name names, and you got very specific when it comes to Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic, trying to get coverage of a Hillary Clinton speech. Or David Aguilar at CPB trying to redefine corruption. And what it meant to people underneath him. Or your whistleblower on Fast and Furious John Dobson. Many of the examples you are naming. Is it hard to name these names and take the flak for doing so?\nATTKISSON: All I'm using are -- these aren't my words, these are the words of the people operating the system. I quote the smear operators themselves in my book. In the case of what I called transactional journalism -- where the journalists are making ethically inappropriate deals with the people they are reporting on. To report things a certain way, a certain percentage of your story has to discuss this and that, here is the timing, here is how it has to be done. Those are there own words with emails we have [from WikiLeaks]. It is not difficult at all for me to publish and discuss those.\nDAILY CALLER: Why do you think WikiLeaks -- I can see where the FOIA lawsuits have given you some resources to check, but why do you think WikiLeaks exposed all that they did last year?\nATTKISSON: I think because the documents fell into their lap. If those had fallen into the lap of any journalism organization, or if they had been able to obtain those, you would have made stories out of those as well. WikiLeaks did what news organizations used to do, when they obtained things like that, just publish them and let you decide. You could read the whole email and make of them what you will.\nI think today, if certain news organizations got a hold of those emails, through legal means, they would 't have done the stories on them. Five years ago maybe, but today WikiLeaks was maybe one of the only places that would expose that kind of material. And there was a lot of news in there. It wasn't just salacious gossip and rumors.\nDAILY CALLER: Explain in your book, why you say Trump can be Kryptonite to the Smear.\nATTKISSON: I call him the anti-smear candidate, because every traditional smear tactic used against him -- very effective tactics against other people -- just kind of bounced off of him. In fact, he was able to grab it and pull it and co-opt it and turn it around in almost every case.\nI argue that if he had apologized in the summer of 2015 when the first attack I noticed was after John McCain called some of his followers crazies, and Trump counterattacked by saying he wasn't a war hero in Vietnam. People were calling for him to get out of the race, they aired more of him thinking that the public would hate him if they saw more of him, but the public liked him. I think if he had apologized then, he would never have made it. But he did the opposite thing that you would intuit for politicians, but it turned out to be the right thing for him to do for his followers\u2026\nI'm not a student of Donald Trump, but maybe his business dealings, which are probably as nasty as politics can be if not nastier, prepped him for this. And him not coming up through the political system where he is surrounded by advisors saying, 'You have to apologize! You have to apologize! You have to apologize! Here's what you have to do.' Instead he was surrounded by people who were a little bit different, maybe that was responsible for him reacting differently\u2026\nOn the lessons the media should learn from the election:\nATTKISSON: There are two lessons. One for us in the media, and one for the public. The lesson for the media should have been a serious reexamination of what we did. And when we got the election so wrong, we said he couldn't win/wasn't going to win/was about to collapse. I put in the book all the headlines and the narratives and they were just 180 degrees wrong.\nSo you would expect after the election, you would see an examination and maybe a change. But instead, I see us as having doubled down on these efforts. In fact it has gotten worse, if anything. I don't think the media has learned a lesson yet.\nFor the public though, the lesson was already learned. When you see these narratives, and these overwhelming opinions that are being perpetuated on the news, you can not always rely on those. In fact, I would question most of them. When you see this overwhelming sentiment on one side, because it is usually an effort to try to make you think in a certain way, or a way to make you not look in a different direction at something that they don't want you to pay attention to.\nDAILY CALLER: So the Tweets are [President Trump's] fireside chats?\nATTKISSON: I think so. I don't think a president Obama or Bush would have tweeted out the same provocative things that Trump has, but if either of them had used social media in a similar way -- President Obama did, and it didn't even exist under Bush. But if they had each used it in a creative way, I think in Obama's case he would have been heralded. 'Look at the modern president using modern tools!' Because it is Trump, they are not going to say that about him. And also because of the nature of some of his tweets.\nYou do get news. You get the leading edge of information -- mixed in with some weird stuff. So, that's how he uses it.\n(Via Daily Caller News Foundation)\nhttps://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...standards.html\nI was told I was brainwashed. I was also told that I'm extreme. And that happened here. But don't worry. I didn't take it personally and I won't call you any names and I won't judge you either.\nI wore the labels like a badge. Literally. I gave myself badges which are on the Chaos Thread. Sometimes a person just has to stand strong.\nTrump and his supporters are using the media as a blanket excuse for all kinds of things.\nAnd so, last week, when his intelligence folks spoke before congress and it was broadcast in full, Trump kept saying the media mischaracterized what they said.\nThe media broadcast what they said. There was no characterizing. The public heard the intelligence folks' words directly.\nOutright lies like that are what dictators do.\nIn case people don't realize that.\nAragorn (11th February 2019), Elen (11th February 2019), Kathy (12th February 2019), WantDisclosure (11th February 2019)\nDreamtimer (11th February 2019), Elen (11th February 2019), Kathy (12th February 2019), tarka the duck (13th February 2019), WantDisclosure (12th February 2019)\nI'm not going to ask any follow-up questions this time because I don't have time for a tit-for-tat.\nI am a member of a senior center near where I live. The Trump-bashing there is palpable. Even one of the staff members is guilty of cornering men in a discussion activity called \"Mental Muscle Health\" where she chose to talk about feminism.\nThey serve lunch at the center and I have sat with a group who call Trump a criminal and go on and on about him. One day, one of them said, \"My grandson wants to know when he will be assassinated.\"\nI left before lunch was served.\nThe most incredible people are Autistic...i.e. Einstein, Tesla, DaVinci, etc. etc. etc. To even think that Genius can be developed by a vaccine is far fetched and as crazy as the idea that vaccines are the cure for all things in life.\nIf you feel that an Autistic has \"stepped on your toes\" and you feel hurt...you just have to get used to it...it is never meant to be an insult toward you personally.

Recently I have been invited to provide expert analysis to review panels where Coercive Control and stalking are key characteristics; this is one of the most rewarding and important things I have ever done, and also shows a growing awareness of the importance of stalking and Coercive Control in Homicide, and the role knowledge of them can have in homicide prevention.\nWe would really encourage DHR chairs and panels to seek an expert analysis on stalking and Coercive Control in any review.

        "title": "Amanda Palmer | Jesse Colton",
        "raw_content": "My Top Ten Albums By Play Count\nYou Are Who You Listen To\nThe following are my top ten most played albums according to their play counts in iTunes. I would preface this by saying that these are not necessarily my top ten favorite albums of all time, and not all of them are, but some of them are in that category. The rule I\u2019ve given myself here is that there can only be one album per artist, otherwise this list would be entirely comprised of Tori Amos and Lady Gaga. I know, what a gay stereotype I am, right? Well shut the hell up, I like what I like.\nMost Played Songs: Astronaut, Leeds United, Have to Drive, Guitar Hero\nAmanda Palmer is one of the most underappreciated artists in the music industry. Though she has an extremely devoted fan base, she\u2019s never received any radio air time that I\u2019ve ever heard, but she is far and away one of the most incredible feminists, free thinkers, and musicians of the modern era. Her first solo album is a beautiful mixture of genres, from the tragic opening story of an Astronaut whose limbs fall to the beach as his wife watches in horror after his shuttle explodes to the upbeat diddy about rape and abortion, and an incredibly emotional song about finding a dead deer in the road, Amanda touches on a little of everything. My favorite kind of albums are the ones that include multiple kinds of songs from multiple genres with multiple perspectives. This one fits the bill perfectly.\nMost Played Songs: The Dumbing Down of Love, Shh, Hear Me Out, Let Go\nIf this were a list of my favorite albums, Details would be much higher up, at least in the top three. If I were stranded on a desert island and had to choose a few albums to take with me this is one that would come along. Details is a mystery. When I first heard it I didn\u2019t get it. The songs all blended together into a sort of weird hodgepodge of sound that wasn\u2019t minor or dark enough for me to be instantly attracted to it. I liked Let It Go from the beginning, but other than that I ignored this album for a long time. Then one day something just clicked and I couldn\u2019t stop listening to it. I\u2019d listen to the entire thing from start to finish and then repeat it over and over again. I felt so creative, so alive, as though I\u2019d tapped in to some joyful and bittersweet energy permeating the universe that I\u2019d never felt before. The Dumbing Down of Love was one of the first songs to ever hit me so hard that it was like some kind of emotional armor surrounding me cracked and shattered to the floor, and then that song reached inside of me where it was warm and touched something. I found myself standing alone in a room mouthing the words as I heard it, and understanding how extremely profound the phrase \u201clover alone without love\u201d could be, sinking into sadness and yet at the same time finding comfort. One of the most magical albums ever made.\nby The Dresden Dolls\nMost Played Songs: Half Jack, Girl Anachronism, Bad Habit, Missed Me\nIf there\u2019s one thing I love, it\u2019s music that can be described using the key words \u201cbrooding,\u201d \u201cdark,\u201d or \u201cpiano.\u201d The Dresden Dolls\u2019 self-titled debut is a fantastic work of art from start to finish. I still haven\u2019t even listened extensively to the whole album, I\u2019ve only heard the songs Slide and Truce once or twice, but certain songs like Girl Anachronism, Missed Me, and Coin-Operated Boy just get in your head and don\u2019t leave you alone. If this album were a person it would be a disturbed cabaret mime who makes love on stage and murders people in back alleys at night. And it just doesn\u2019t get better than that.\nby Imogen Heap\nMost Played Songs: First Train Home, Tidal, Earth, 2-1\nThis album means so much to me. I discovered Imogen Heap when this album had just been recently released, and while waiting to have the money to buy it, I watched all forty video blogs she created about the making of this album. Those video blogs and Imogen\u2019s music gave me the will to pull myself out of a huge rut that my life was in, and because of that, I had the courage to start creating music again, writing again, and I even got out of an unhealthy relationship. If not for discovering Imogen, I don\u2019t know that that would have happened. Ellipse is like a forest: you wander through and you find so many different things that seem to be dissident, and yet they all live happily together and somehow just work. Earth sounds nothing like Swoon, and Aha! sounds completely different than Wait It Out, yet they all go together, and not one song would sound right without having the others around it. Ellipse is an album that\u2019s genuinely a pure expression of one person\u2019s truth from beginning to end, and carries with it a certain energy that finds it way through the songs that can only be described as \u201csoundscapes.\u201d Normally I hate that word because it\u2019s a nonsense editorial cop-out word to make something sound cool, but this is the exception to the rule, because Ellipse is genuinely crafted. Every moment, every tiny sound, every rustling of sheets, banging of radiators, dripping of faucets, and butt slap was meticulously, carefully, and lovingly placed. This may be Imogen\u2019s masterwork.\nMost Played Songs: Eet, The Calculation, Laughing With, Folding Chair\nIt\u2019s kind of funny to me that this one won out over Regina\u2019s compilation album Mary Ann Meets The Gravediggers and Other Shorts Stories, because I remember listening to that one incessantly for days on end. I have, however, had Far for a much longer time, and it\u2019s song are very easy to return to. Far is more of a pop album than any of Regina\u2019s other work, but somehow it still retains her uniqueness, while drawing inspiration from pop but leaving behind the bad qualities of that genre. There aren\u2019t any repetitive choruses or annoying refrains on this album, just a sense of whimsy that manages to find Regina somehow chirping and lilting about subjects from love and humanity to masturbation, alienation, death, hate crimes, and the mechanization of the world. She just has a gift for throwing everything including the kitchen sink into an album and it still working.\nMost Played Songs: Sexxx Dreams, Venus, Do What U Want, ARTPOP\nLady Gaga rocked the entire world with her debut album The Fame, then rocked it harder with The Fame\u2019s companion album The Fame Monster, and reached kind of a peak with Born This Way. Honestly, the first album was general pop music with a little something special infused, but it was more the attitude that delivered it than anything extremely unique. Gaga really upped her game with The Fame Monster, with songs that were big warehouse thumping dance numbers. Born This Way, however, fell mostly flat for me, with a lot of ballads that I\u2019m sure came from the heart but sounded insincere in the delivery.\nI had pretty much assumed Lady Gaga was done, and that her best work was behind her when I heard ARTPOP announced, and even then I rolled my eyes and though it was such a pretentious name that there was no way it would be good. My expectations were thoroughly and unpredictably exceeded with what is one of the best pop albums I\u2019ve ever heard. You can open it up to any random track and find yourself instantly pulled in. Almost every single track on the album is a pop masterpiece, though there are some misses: Jewels N\u2019 Drugs is nigh unlistenable and Fashion! seems a little too inside of Gaga\u2019s comfort zone. However, tracks like Sexx Dreams, Venus, and the steady march of the title track can be listened to infinitely without getting boring. Sometimes I have to listen to songs twice just because the first time wasn\u2019t good enough. With a lot of these other albums, the plays took years to rack up, but all of the plays on ARTPOP are fairly recent, since it\u2019s only been out for a year. I look forward to the ARTPOP Part Two that Gaga keeps promising and hinting at.\nMost Played Songs: The Harold Song, Cannibal, Stephen, Take It Off, Tik Tok, Animal\nI didn\u2019t like Ke$ha at first. In fact, I found her insufferable. She seemed like a Disney star gone total slut, and her music made my ears bleed. Then, and I kid you not this is entirely true, I had a drunken orgy with five other guys while Tik Tok played on the radio throughout the night, and the following morning when I had a hangover, I suddenly \u201cgot\u201d Ke$ha. I don\u2019t mean that I identified with her more because of the experience, but for some reason I liked her from that moment forward. I had hated Tik Tok and it suddenly became a total jam song for me, and a few months later I found myself getting ahold of Animal and listening to it on repeat incessantly for days on end. As with Lady Gaga\u2019s The Fame, Ke$ha released a companion EP entitled Cannibal with even more great songs on it, like the incredibly addictive title track and the now classic club dance song We R Who We R. Not to mention that Cannibal\u2019s \u201cThe Harold Song\u201d is one of the most genuinely touching songs I\u2019ve ever heard, and I routinely curled into a ball crying myself to sleep with that song playing in my ears during a huge breakup. Ke$ha\u2019s songs aren\u2019t exactly pure insight into the human spirit or filled with lessons about the world, but there\u2019s something so extremely honest about her music, and it comes from such a place of genuine truth that I cannot help but respect it. I am still surprised that this beautiful, glittery young woman has managed to captivate me, but something about pure honesty just touches me, and even if you\u2019re singing songs about getting drunk from a water bottle filled with Whiskey, if you\u2019re doing it from a place of honesty I\u2019m right there with you, drinking and throwing glitter around an empty pool.\nMost Played Songs: Father Lucifer, Not The Red Baron, Beauty Queen / Horses, Caught A Lite Sneeze, Mr. Zebra, Talula\nI\u2019m breaking my own rules here because Ke$ha beat this album by eight plays, however many of these songs were included in their original form in Tori\u2019s box set, and if I were to include all of the Boys For Pele songs that I played from the box set, this album would probably come a lot closer to topping the list. Boys For Pele is far and away one of my favorite albums, and perhaps my MOST favorite album, of all time. I didn\u2019t know how to feel about Tori at first: I\u2019d heard of her, I\u2019d heard her cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit, but it was when I saw an unbelievably gripping live performance of Precious Things that I fell for her. Still, I started out on her retrospective collection Tales of a Librarian, which, though a treat for a Tori fan who knows the original songs, butchers the original mixes of every song on the album and nearly unlistenable to anyone who isn\u2019t already a fan. I still wanted to give her a chance though, so when I read that Boys For Pele was the most outlandish of her albums I got it right away. It did not disappoint.\nThe album opens perfectly. Beauty Queen is slow, like the footsteps of someone in dirty rags, wandering through a field, and then when Horses begins, I\u2019m instantly pulled in, I\u2019m riding with those horses, and it\u2019s cold and wet in the fields of Ireland, and we\u2019re descending into the depths, into hell, into the underworld, into the deepest part of ourselves. Boys For Pele is more than just an album, it\u2019s a journey into the darkest and most secret places that live inside of all of us. Tori speaks to her dark prince in Father Lucifer, she approaches the dark energy with respect and love, she seethes anger into Professional Widow and Mr. Zebra, she delivers heartbreaking and breathless words of sorrow and loss in Caught a Lite Sneeze and Not the Red Baron. She plays the piano as well as the harpsichord, and anything could happen, from a brass band to a gospel choir, taking us deeper into the darkness. In the end we emerge into the starlight of the night with Twinkle, and become lost in reflection. This album is so intense that it is almost draining to listen to, and is very difficult to hear in it\u2019s entirety because there are no, forgive the wordplay, \u201clight breezes\u201d to be found here. Even quick songs like Agent Orange have deep meaning, and there\u2019s not a shallow song in the bunch. Blood is splattered across every song, the pain of a broken heart radiates through each word, and the feeling of being lost in the world, of being the thoughtless and senseless monster that is a living being, is captured here forever.\nInto The Woods: Original Cast Recording\nMost Played Songs: Ever After, No One Is Alone, Finale: Children Will Listen, Lament, Giants In The Sky, Prologue: Into the Woods, Your Fault / Last Midnight\nInto the Woods arrived in my life only a few months ago. My boyfriend found it on Netflix and made me watch it. I wasn\u2019t very interested at first, though I enjoyed the humor. In one night we watched the first act, and the following day I watched the second act on my own. I was blown away. I had to watch the whole show again. And then again, and again. I got hold of the music and started listening to it on repeat. Into the Woods is the story of the journey through life. Everything here is a metaphor, and yet the characters are so real. The Witch is in all of us, Rapunzel is in all of us, and The Baker\u2019s Wife are in all of us. Into the Woods is a story of survival against great odds, of moving forward in the midst of deep grief and suffering, and a story that is a rich wellspring of meaning with each listen. I\u2019m really excited to see the movie this Christmas, it just so happened that I discovered there was an upcoming movie adaptation soon after discovering the musical itself. My boyfriend has gotten so tired of hearing music from Into the Woods that he laments ever having shown it to me, but I think it\u2019s one of the greatest gifts he could have given me. Into the Woods resonates with me very deeply.\nMost Played Songs: Swimming, Howl, Dog Days Are Over, Drumming Song, Cosmic Love, My Boy Builds Coffins, Heavy In Your Arms\nThe jump from the last album is a staggering one thousand plays, and believe it or not, I haven\u2019t fudged those numbers whatsoever. Between the five different editions of Lungs, I\u2019ve racked up a lot of plays,but even if I were going with the standard edition it would still be far ahead of any other album in this list. I discovered this album in 2010 and have only just now four years later reached a point where I don\u2019t feel the need to listen to it incessantly day after day. Swimming is perhaps one of my favorite songs in the world, among others here, and Lungs is one of the most unique and special albums because it blends many diverse sounds that are all uniquely Florence\u2019s into one album. No two songs are exactly alike, and the lyrics to these songs are pure poetry that would hold up anywhere. Florence manages to have a talent for metaphor that she can still tell in perfect rhythm and rhyme, and she crafts unbelievable songs to fit them. Dog Days Are Over is the most pure expression of joy that I\u2019ve ever heard in a song, Swimming is so inspirational that it seems to have the quality of someone singing to you from beyond Heaven, and Drumming Song is such a pounding and pure expression of desire and longing that it\u2019s like drowning to hear it. Howl is the most lustful song I\u2019ve ever heard, in which Florence becomes a night creature ripping through skin and sinew to reach the heart of a lover, to reach the core of them, to take pleasure and bask in the radiance of pure, warm lust.\nThis album, along with Boys For Pele and Details are contenders for \u201cgreatest album of all time\u201d in my opinion. I doubt I\u2019ll ever play enough songs to match the ferocity with which I listened to this wellspring of music for the first few years. Florence also has the distinction, in this era of her career that I refer to as \u201cthe Lungs era,\u201d in which there is literally no song that I don\u2019t like. Not one. I love all of them. There are some I like less, but even the live tracks, the demos, the live performances, they\u2019re all completely perfect, and I wouldn\u2019t change one. Her energy here is one that embraces darkness and light, and they burst forth in a joyful, mournful, sexual, and longing musical embrace that can never be ignored or forgotten.\nalbum, Amanda Palmer, Bernadette Peters, Florence + The Machine, Into the Woods, Ke$ha, play count, Regina Spektor, Stephen Sondheim, The Dresden Dolls, top ten, Tori Amos\tLeave a comment\nThe Sandwiches Are Wicked And They Know You At The Mac Store: The Discography Of Amanda Palmer\nAmanda Palmer is one of my personal heroes. I discovered her a few years ago completely by accident when her song Astronaut popped up in Spotify, and I fell for her instantly. Her piano-banging, open and honest and not-giving-a-fuck style of lyric writing and living in general, she\u2019s been a real inspiration to me as a musician, an author, and a person, and a lot of time it\u2019s been her music that inspired me to keep writing. Her discography is pretty scattered, as her relationship with record companies has always been difficult, and she has jumped from project to project, meaning that she has technically been in four bands and performed as a solo artist as well, but it all began with the Dresden Dolls in 2003. This is not really a compendium of B-Sides and rarities, more a guideline of what albums and singles she\u2019s released, so that anyone looking to get into her music will have an idea of where to start. It should also be noted that almost everything on this entire list is available completely for free on her official website and her Bandcamp page, where it\u2019s almost entirely \u201cpay what you want,\u201d meaning you can choose to have it for free or support her as an artist, a sales model I really love and support. When I first discovered her I had no money, so I took her up on the offer and downloaded the albums all for free, but later when I had the means I threw her a bit of money when buying an album to support her art. This incidentally is really the way I plan to release my music, if I can ever get an album put together (although as a side note, I finally finished compiling my demo album and put it up on Bandcamp, a decision largely inspired by Amanda). So let\u2019s dive right in, shall we?\nAmanda began her career as one-half of the Dresden Dolls, playing piano and singing while her partner Brian Viglione provided drums, guitar, and the occasional backup vocal. They invented a genre they call \u201cPunk Cabaret,\u201d which is essentially where all of the Panic! at the Disco / Moulin Rouge / The Killers / New Orleans whorehouse / circus freak aesthetic you\u2019ve seen in a million bands since the mid-2000\u2019s came from. It\u2019s not like they\u2019re to first people to ever dress like mimes and have circus acts at their shows, but they should really be credited with having a huge part in the movement of that aesthetic in popular music. In total they released four albums in their career, the first of which was a live album that served as a kind of teaser for the their debut album, and the third of which consisted entirely of B-Sides and cut material from the second album. Later on Amanda released a digital version of a their live album on Bandcamp. They also released a self-titled EP, but as far as I know the only track to ever surface online is the demo version of Girl Anachronism, which they included on their \u201cLive and Unreleased\u201d downloads page on their website, consisting almost entirely of live recordings by fans, and featuring several guest performers, including The Ambitious Orchestra and Ryan Ross of Panic! at the Disco. The downloads page is still active, and all of the songs are still available for download, though they\u2019re not greatly formatted, so I\u2019m going to include my compilation \u201cLive And Unreleased\u201d as I have it in my music library with suggestions on how to organize the tracks.\nA very important thing to know if you\u2019re interested in purchasing Amanda\u2019s music is that she purportedly gets paid NOTHING by the album company if you purchase the albums on iTunes, Amazon, or any place other than her official website or on her Bandcamp page, which includes all of her albums, including those in which she\u2019s involved with a band. So, if you want to support her by buying the music, do so on her Bandcamp page, because if you purchase the albums on iTunes or Amazon, all of that money just goes to a record company that doesn\u2019t even support her music anymore, so you\u2019re literally throwing money away. Even if you paid full-price for all of her music on iTunes, you wouldn\u2019t be supporting her art in any way. In summation, buy the music from her Bandcamp page, or download it all for free from there.\nThe Dresden Dolls [EP]\n1. Half Jack\n2. Girl Anachronism\nNotes: All of these songs are demo versions.

She also took to referring to herself as Amanda Fucking Palmer, after having a falling out with her record company, who finally released her from her contract after fans protested them and she was allowed to release her music for free.

Here Comes The Rain Again (Eurythmics Cover)\nIn 2010, Amanda teamed up with fellow musician and friend Jason Webley to form an extremely weird band called Evelyn Evelyn, releasing one concept album in which the two play the characters of conjoined twin sisters, which they reported to be two real sisters who they had found and whose music they were attempting to promote to help spread their story. In the end, Evelyn Evelyn was actually just an act played by the two, but they kept the facade up on Amanda\u2019s blog and during shows, in which they pretended to invite the sisters on stage and played songs in character after their respective individual shows. The album contains not only songs by the sisters but also three songs that consist of spoken dialogue and background music and sound effect detailing the twin sisters\u2019 tragic lives. After the album and the tour, Evelyn Evelyn has never returned, although Amanda and Jason have played some of the songs on tour together and individually.\nBandcamp Album Cover, featuring artwork by Cynthia von Buhler\n3.

They did just that, only it took them twelve hours and they only produced six songs, but the results were pretty impressive nonetheless.\n2. Because the Origami\n3. One Tiny Thing\n4.

The project met with incredible success, and I can say personally that I\u2019ve only ever seen one Amanda Palmer album in stores, and it was this one. Kickstarter backers got a lot of extra tracks on their copies, which until recently were pretty much unobtainable, but Amanda recently released a \u201ccomplete discography\u201d download for free on her website, which includes the Kickstarter version of the album, containing all eight bonus tracks.\n10 .Bottomfeeder\nBandcamp Bonus Tracks\n16.

She released one album, and two live albums, the first of which consists of covers of Lou Reed and Velvet Underground songs, the second of which is included as a fourth disc on the final release of An Evening With Neil Gaiman And Amanda Palmer.\nSeveral Attempts To Cover Songs By The Velvet Underground & Lou Reed* For Neil Gaiman As His Birthday Approaches\n1.

Suffice it to say this is a compendium of mostly everything she has released as a solo artist and with bands that she was an active participant in. If you\u2019ve never listened to Amanda, you should. If you\u2019ve never heard her speak, you should listen to her TED Talk, or read about her life as a human statue, or her experience couch surfing in fans apartments while being on tour, or tweeting that she needs a ride to a show or that she\u2019s welcoming any musicians who want to come and open for her. She\u2019s a revolutionary: she embraces the idea that music and art are free for the taking,that if you like an artist, you should support them, and that decisions don\u2019t have to be dictated by record companies whose main interest is in making money and not making art. She strips her clothes off on stage, she reveals her unshaven legs and armpits with pride, like everyone else she is sometimes terrifying and sometimes incredibly beautiful, and sometimes a little of both. She embraces her fans, she embraces the world around her, and she has been inspiring to me not just as an artist, but as a person.

They defeated Pakistan by 3-2 in the final.\nNational Panchayati Raj Day: 24 April\nNational Panchayati Raj Day is the national day of India celebrated by Ministry of Panchayati Raj on 24 April annually.\nThen Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh inaugurated the first National Panchayati Raj Day in 2010.\nDiu Smart City becomes first to run on 100% Renewable Energy during Daytime\nDiu Smart City has become the first city in India, that runs on 100% renewable energy during daytime setting a new benchmark for other cities to become clean and green.\nDiu had been importing 73% of its power from Gujarat until last year.\nIt has now adopted a two-pronged approach whereby a 9 MW solar park spread over 50 hectares rocky barren land has been developed besides installing solar panels on the roof tops on 79 government buildings thereby generating 1.3 MW annually.\nTo further enhance its solar capacity, Diu offers its residents a subsidy of Rs 10, 000-50,000 for installing 1-5KW roof top solar panels.\nDiu is saving about 13,000 tonnes of carbon emissions every year. Due to low-cost solar energy, power tariffs have been cut in residential category by 10% last year and 15% this year\nIndia highest recipient of remittances in 2017\nIndia retained the top position as recipient of remittances with its diaspora sending about USD 69 billion back home last year, the World Bank said.\nRemittances to India picked up sharply by 9.9 per cent, reversing the previous year\u2019s dip, but were still short of USD 70.4 billion received in 2014.\nIndia was followed by China the Philippines, Mexico, Nigeria and Egypt.\n\u00b7 Government to pump in Rs 5,000 crore in next two years to increase micro irrigation footprints\nIndia has the potential to bring nearly half of its net cultivated area (140 million hectares) under micro irrigation. But so far, only 10.12 million hectares (mha) as against the estimated potential of 69.5 mha has been covered by a dedicated scheme for this purpose launched by the Centre 12 years back.\nRealising that the scheme to increase the country\u2019s micro irrigation (MI) footprint to stop indiscriminate use of groundwater has not gained desired pace, the Centre had last year set a five-year target of bringing 10 mha under MI.\nThe government has already earmarked Rs 5,000 crore (Rs 2,000 crore during 2018-19 and Rs 3,000 crore during 2019-20) as an initial corpus for the MIF. The dedicated fund is expected to encourage public and private investments in sprinkler and drip irrigation.\nGiving momentum for geo-tagging of MI assets created under the central programme on the BHUVAN App, encouraging fertigation (use of fertilisers through drip irrigation system) and additional incentivisation for promoting adoption of MI are some the key issues which will be discussed during the mega meet of farm policymakers.\n\u00b7 AFSPA revoked in Meghalaya, parts of Arunachal\nThe Centre has revoked The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) from Meghalaya since April 1.\nIn Arunachal Pradesh, the impact of AFSPA was reduced to eight police stations instead of 16 police stations and in Tirap, Longding and Changlang districts bordering Assam.\nThe Ministry has also relaxed the Protected Area Permit (PAP) for foreigners visiting Manipur, Mizoram and Nagaland. The PAP will be valid for five years, but residents from Pakistan, Afghanistan and China will not be allowed to visit these areas.\nThe Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958 is effective in whole of Nagaland, Assam, Manipur (excluding seven assembly constituencies of Imphal) and parts of Arunachal Pradesh.\nThe AFSPA gives power to army and central forces deployed in \u201cdisturbed areas\u201d to kill anyone acting in contravention of law, arrest and search any premises without a warrant and provide cover to forces from prosecution and legal suits without Centre\u2019s sanction.\nTripura withdrew AFSPA in 2015. Last year, the Home Ministry gave up its power and asked the Assam government to take a decision on continuing AFSPA in the State.\nApril 2018Afghanistan, arunachal pradesh, assam, cent, China, CIP, Current Affairs, government, gujarat, India, Indian Women, investment, irrigation, ISA, jharkha, Jharkhand, jharkhand government, JPSC, launch, launched, ministry of health and family welfare, Mohan Singh, Nepal, Pakistan, Panchayati raj, Philippines, police station, police stations, Prime Minister of India, public and Private, RU, solar energy, State, the Government, the Ministry, the State, the World Bank, Union Government, World Bank",

        "raw_content": "NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced sales of $17.9 billion for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 8.5% as compared to the second quarter of 2012. Operational results increased 10.0% and the negative impact of currency was 1.5%. Domestic sales increased 8.0%. International sales increased 9.0%, reflecting operational growth of 11.8% and a negative currency impact of 2.8%. Sales included the impact of the acquisition of Synthes, Inc., net of the divestiture of the DePuy trauma business. Excluding this impact, worldwide operational sales growth was 5.6%.\nNet earnings and diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2013 were $3.8 billion and $1.33, respectively. The second quarter results included the gain on the sale of the equity interest owned in Elan Corporation, plc, as previously disclosed. Second quarter 2013 net earnings included after-tax special items of approximately $0.5 billion, related to litigation expenses, integration and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Synthes, Inc, and program costs associated with the DePuy ASRTM Hip. Second quarter 2012 net earnings included after-tax special items of approximately $2.2 billion as shown in the accompanying reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures. Excluding these special items, net earnings for the current quarter were $4.3 billion and diluted earnings per share were $1.48, representing increases of 17.7% and 13.8%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2012.*\n\"Our strong second-quarter results reflect the progress we've made against our near-term priorities of delivering on our financial commitments, restoring a reliable supply of over-the-counter products to consumers, continuing the successful integration of Synthes and building on the momentum in our pharmaceutical business,\" said Alex Gorsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. \"Our talented colleagues at Johnson & Johnson continue to bring meaningful innovations to patients and consumers around the world and have positioned us well to deliver sustainable growth.\"\nThe Company increased its earnings guidance for full-year 2013 to $5.40 - $5.47 per share. The Company's guidance excludes the impact of special items.\nWorldwide Consumer sales of $3.7 billion for the second quarter represented an increase of 1.1% versus the prior year consisting of an operational increase of 1.7% and a negative impact from currency of 0.6%. Domestic sales increased 1.0%. International sales increased 1.1%, which reflected an operational increase of 2.0% and a negative currency impact of 0.9%.\nPositive contributors to operational results were upper respiratory over-the-counter medicines; TYLENOL\u00ae and MOTRIN\u00ae analgesics; international sales of LISTERINE\u00ae mouthwash; baby care products and women's sanitary protection products.\nWorldwide Pharmaceutical sales of $7.0 billion for the second quarter represented an increase of 11.7% versus the prior year with operational growth of 12.9% and a negative impact from currency of 1.2%. Domestic sales increased 9.1%. International sales increased 14.1% which reflected an operational increase of 16.5% and a negative currency impact of 2.4%.\nPrimary contributors to operational sales growth were REMICADE\u00ae (infliximab) and SIMPONI\u00ae (golimumab), biologics approved for the treatment of a number of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases; STELARA\u00ae (ustekinumab), a biologic approved for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis; INVEGA\u00ae SUSTENNA\u00ae/XEPLION\u00ae (paliperidone palmitate), a once-monthly, long-acting, injectable atypical antipsychotic for the acute and maintenance treatment of schizophrenia in adults; VELCADE\u00ae (bortezomib), a treatment for multiple myeloma; PREZISTA\u00ae (darunavir), a treatment for HIV; and sales of recently launched products.\nThe strong sales results of recently launched products included ZYTIGA\u00ae (abiraterone acetate), an oral, once-daily medication for use in combination with prednisone for the treatment of metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer; XARELTO\u00ae (rivaroxaban), an oral anticoagulant; and INCIVO\u00ae (telaprevir), a direct acting antiviral protease inhibitor, for the treatment of genotype-1 chronic hepatitis C virus.\nDuring the quarter, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved SIMPONI\u00ae (golimumab) for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adult patients who have demonstrated corticosteroid dependence or who have had an inadequate response to or failed to tolerate oral aminosalicylates, oral corticosteroids, azathioprine, or 6-mercaptopurine.\nAdditionally, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for daratumumab for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and an immunomodulatory agent (IMiD), or who are double refractory to a PI and IMiD. Daratumumab is an investigational human CD38 monoclonal antibody licensed from Genmab A/S.\nIn addition, a New Drug Application was submitted to the FDA under Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the use of ibrutinib in previously treated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia /small lymphocytic lymphoma, and for use in previously treated patients with mantle cell lymphoma.\nAlso during the quarter, a Marketing Authorization Application was submitted to the European Medicines Agency seeking approval for simeprevir (TMC435). Simeprevir is a new generation NS3/4A protease inhibitor, administered as one 150mg capsule once daily in combination with peginterferon alfa and ribavirin, indicated for the treatment of genotype 1 or genotype 4 chronic hepatitis C in adult patients with compensated liver disease (including cirrhosis), with or without HIV-1 co-infection, who are treatment naive or who have failed previous interferon therapy (pegylated or non-pegylated) with or without ribavirin.\nThe Committee for Medical Products for Human Use of The European Medicines Agency granted a positive opinion on two variations relating to the use of VELCADE\u00ae (bortezomib). The first recommendation was for the use of VELCADE\u00ae as retreatment in adult patients who have previously responded to treatment with the same medicine. The second recommendation was as induction therapy in combination with dexamethasone or dexamethasone and thalidomide for adult patients with previously untreated multiple myeloma that are eligible for high-dose chemotherapy with haematological stem cell transplantation.

The acquisition includes Aragon's androgen receptor antagonist program. Aragon's lead product candidate is a second generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitor, ARN-509, in Phase 2 development for castration resistant prostate cancer.\nWorldwide Medical Devices and Diagnostics sales of $7.2 billion for the second quarter represented an increase of 9.6% versus the prior year consisting of an operational increase of 12.0% and a negative currency impact of 2.4%. Domestic sales increased 9.8%. International sales increased 9.4%, which reflected an operational increase of 13.7% and a negative currency impact of 4.3%.

It offers a low down payment, flexible qualifying guidelines limited lender\u2019s fees, and a maximum loan amount.\n203(k) loans enable homebuyers to finance both the purchase and rehabilitation of a home through a single mortgage. A portion of the loan is used to pay off the seller\u2019s existing mortgage and the remainder is placed in an escrow account and released as rehabilitation is completed.\nBasic guidelines for 203(k) loans are as follows:\nThe home must be at least one year old.\nThe cost of rehabilitation must be at least $5,000, but the total property value \u2013 including the cost of repairs must fall within the FHA maximum mortgage limit.\nThe 203(k) loan must follow many of the 203(b) eligibility requirements.

        "title": "Perseverance of the Saints v Eternal Security \u2013 Ken Hamrick",
        "raw_content": "The Baptist doctrine of Eternal Security is often confused with the Calvinist doctrine of Perseverance of the Saints, especially since there are many Calvinist Baptists. While the two doctrines are similar and share the same end result, there are important differences. Eternal Security is the doctrine that affirms that once a sinner comes to genuine, repentant faith in Christ, God responds to that faith by doing that which irrevocably saves that one. God justifies the believer, and then seals the believer by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, indissolubly uniting the believer to Christ and forever identifying him with Christ\u2019s righteous life and atoning death. While such irrevocable salvation does not depend on continuing works of righteousness and limitations on how far the believer may fall into sin, the reality of Christ within the believer will inevitably result in continuing good works and limitations on how far the believer will fall into sin.\nPerseverance of the Saints is a very different doctrine. Some of the differences come from subtle distinctions in how faith is defined. John Murray, in Redemption: Accomplished and Applied (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1955), p. 152, says, \u201cWe must appreciate the lengths and the heights to which a temporary faith may carry those who have it.\u201d This is a true statement as far as it goes, but notice that the emphasis is on \u201ctemporary\u201d rather than disingenuousness. The crucial difference between a faith that fails and one that does not is not chronological duration but the reality of Christ within the genuine believer. Murray ostensibly agrees with this in some of his statements, but the inherent inconsistency keeps surfacing. He states, on p. 152:\n\u2026The Scripture itself, therefore, leads us to the conclusion that it is possible to have very uplifting, ennobling, reforming, and exhilarating experience of the power and truth of the gospel, to come into such close contact with the supernatural forces which are operative in God\u2019s kingdom of grace that these forces produce effects in us which to human observation are hardly distinguishable from those produced by God\u2019s regenerating and sanctifying grace and yet be not partakers of Christ and heirs of eternal life. A doctrine of perseverance that fails to take account of such a possibility and of its actuality in certain cases is a distorted one and ministers to a laxity which is quite contrary to the interests of perseverance.\nIt certainly is possible for someone to have a disingenuous faith, and for that kind of faith to \u201cproduce effects\u2026 which to human observation are hardly distinguishable from those produced by God\u2019s regenerating and sanctifying grace\u2026\u201d But again, the crucial factor is whether or not one is a \u201cpartaker of Christ.\u201d Only those who are of genuine faith are made partakers of Christ and have Christ within them. With this Murray seems to tentatively agree, saying that men can have a faith convincing to \u201chuman observation,\u201d \u201cand yet be not partakers of Christ\u2026\u201d However, he implicitly moves the saving difference from partaking of Christ to persevering by effort, when he warns that failing to take into account the possibility of such a convincing counterfeit \u201cministers to a laxity which is quite contrary to the interests of perseverance.\u201d A disingenuous, unreal faith is not caused by laxity and neither can it be cured by zealous efforts; and a genuine faith results in the immediate indwelling of the Holy Spirit and union with Christ, which cannot be invalidated or annulled by laxity. Intentionally or not, Murray is implying that those whose faith did not persevere might have persevered if they had not been so lax\u2014and by extension, we who have genuine faith should beware of laxity lest we fail to persevere also. This falsely grounds the reality of our salvation on our efforts to persevere.\nIn those who have failed to persevere, it was not perseverance that they lacked but a genuine faith (which would have resulted in spiritual union with Christ and the fruit that naturally comes from that saving union). To say that true saints will persevere is to speak only of the outwardly apparent differences between those of true faith and those of false faith. Murray states, on p. 155:\nThe perseverance of the saints reminds us very forcefully that only those who persevere to the end are truly saints. We do not attain to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus automatically. Perseverance means the engagement of our persons in the most intense and concentrated devotion to those means which God has ordained for the achievement of his saving purpose.\nThis has much in common with the Arminian view, as the idea of salvation is moved to the end of life, and there is work to be done in order to successfully attain it. \u201cWe do not attain [it]\u2026 automatically,\u201d but rather, we must engage \u201cour persons in the most intense and concentrated devotion to those means which God has ordained for the achievement of his saving purpose.\u201d Murray explains, on p. 154:\nThe very expression, \u201cThe Perseverance of the Saints\u201d in itself guards against every notion or suggestion to the effect that a believer is secure, that is to say, secure as to his eternal salvation, quite irrespective of the extent to which he may fall into sin and backslide from faith and holiness. It guards against any such way of construing the status of the believer because that way of stating the doctrine is pernicious and perverse. It is not true that the believer is secure however much he may fall into sin and unfaithfulness. Why is this not true? It is not true because it sets up an impossible combination. It is true that a believer sins; he may fall into grievous sin and backslide for lengthy periods. But it is also true that a believer cannot abandon himself to sin; he cannot come under the dominion of sin; he cannot be guilty of certain kinds of unfaithfulness. And therefore it is utterly wrong to say that a believer is secure quite irrespective of his subsequent life of sin and unfaithfulness.\nThere is a subtle fallacy here, by which it is implied that because some people have a disingenuous faith and abandon themselves to a life of sin, therefore a true believer\u2019s salvation is contingent upon his not abandoning himself to such a life of sin, etc. The true believer may have no right to feel secure in his salvation if he has fallen into grievous sin, but security is more than a feeling. Security is also a fact, and a fact which is true of genuine believers irrespective of any sin that they fall into. It is a false implication that genuine believers may fall into such sin as to invalidate their faith or their salvation, and one which Murray never explicitly affirms. Nevertheless, he does lean heavily on the idea by way of implied warning of the same. Murray is very adept at using the language to employ the force of the idea while maintaining that true believers do persevere. He adds, \u201cIt is not at all that they will be saved irrespective of their perseverance or their continuance, but that they will assuredly persevere.\u201d Which is the cause and which is the effect? Is the believer saved contingent upon perseverance, or is perseverance merely the evidence that flows from a real conversion to Christ through a sinner coming in genuine faith? The term, \u201cirrespective,\u201d is obscuring the issue. Yes, the genuineness of the faith by which the sinner was converted does have respect to the future perseverance; but the question ought to be, in what respect are the two related? They are not related in such a respect that the sinner\u2019s salvation in any way depends on what he does or does not do in the future. Whether the convert has a faith that is true or not, his salvation depends only on whether or not he genuinely believes in Christ (and has been spiritually indwelt and joined to Christ). Those who do not persevere are not lost by a lack of perseverance, but by a lack of Christ within\u2014and a lack of the real faith that would result in Christ within. Additionally, some men who are of a disingenuous faith die prior to any seeming failure to persevere, but Christ will say to them in the end, \u201cDepart from me\u2026 I never knew you.\u201d\nThe very idea of contingency has no meaning outside of this temporal world; but within this world, there are contingencies even with regard to God\u2019s certain work. As one who holds to unconditional election, I agree that the elect will certainly be saved with no contingency in God\u2019s eternal plan. However, contingency is the fabric out of which this temporal world is made, so that even the salvation of the elect is\u2014within this world\u2014contingent upon their coming to faith. It cannot be rightly said that we were saved from nothing, since an eternity in hell was never really a possibility for us. This would be an abuse of categories, since the contingencies of earth are not measured by the certainties of heaven. Certain our salvation is; but just as certain is the hell that we were headed straight towards\u2014a hell that God saved us from as truly as the state of grace that He saved us to.\nMurray does not, of course, deny the eternal certainty of the salvation of the elect. But he does strongly imply that salvation\u2014within this temporal world\u2014is contingent upon perseverance. This is not to say that our perseverance, in Murray\u2019s view, is not a matter of certainty within God\u2019s redemptive plan, but only to say that God must use the means of perseverance to accomplish that final salvation\u2014a means effected through His gracious enabling and sustaining.\nAccordingly, salvation is certain for the elect because perseverance is certain; and perseverance is not meritorious or dependent only on the believer\u2019s will, since it is enabled and accomplished by God\u2019s grace. However, those who hold to Eternal Security must disagree with how the means by which God accomplishes our salvation are portrayed. We see our salvation as fully and completely accomplished when we come to a genuine, repentant faith and are reborn into Christ; while those who hold to Perseverance of the Saints seem to see perseverance (by the grace and power of God) as necessary to the accomplishment of our final salvation. In other words, they see a temporal contingency of apostasy to be avoided or overcome by persevering (by the grace and power of God).\n[Note: the last three paragraphs were added on 6/4/2013, and were drawn from the comments at SBC Open Forum.]\n\u2190 Expanded SBC Calvinism-Arminianism Spectrum Chart\nWe\u2019re Not \u2018Sixers\u2019 \u2192\nOne thought on \u201cPerseverance of the Saints v Eternal Security\u201d\nExpanded SBC Calvinism-Arminianism Spectrum Chart \u2013 Ken Hamrick says:\n[\u2026] confused with the Baptist doctrine of eternal security (once genuinely saved, always saved), but the two are very different.

        "raw_content": "\u201cI want to know Jesus. I felt like a load had been lifted from my shoulders, New joy and peace had entered my heart and I knew I was born again.\u201d\nAli Mohammed was a mosque painter. As a strong Muslim man, he had no interest in the Christian faith and was deeply involved in the local Islamic community. \u201cI had never entered a Christian church in my life,\u201d he said. Ali was born into a Muslim family and now, at age 28, was married with two children, raising his own Muslim family, and teaching classes in the Quran to local children. \u201cI was fully convinced I was going in the right direction in my life. No one would convince me otherwise,\u201d he said.\nBefore major Islamic festivals each year, Ali was responsible for painting the many mosques in the area. He relied on this work to support his family and he even received gifts of furniture and other household items from the mosque as payment. Then one morning, on his way to a painting assignment, Ali was stopped by some men in the street. \u201cThey told me they were preachers and they were sharing the word of God with the residents of Malindi town,\u201d Ali said. \u201cOf course, I knew I would not give them much of my time.\u201d He told them he was a Muslim and had no interest in Christianity, but they gently persisted and he decided to let them speak.\n\u201cThey talked about eternal life and Jesus Christ. I am not sure how or why, but I did not bring up the usual arguments,\u201d Ali said. \u201cFor some reason, that day, I was interested.\u201d For the rest of the day, Ali couldn\u2019t stop thinking about that encounter. \u201cThe words of the evangelists were still in my mind,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI had no peace.\u201d When his wife asked what the matter was, he told her what had happened and the more he talked about it the more his heart changed and it lead him to a bold decision. \u201cI called my Christian Uncle who is a pastor in Eldoret and he told me to go speak to his friend who is a pastor in Malindi.\u201d\n\u201cThe security guard at the church gate had endless questions,\u201d he remembered. \u201cThey really interrogated me. I do not blame them; they were taking precautions due to attacks by Islamic extremists against churches in Kenya.\u201d Ali told them he just wanted to speak to the pastor and when the pastor came out to meet him, he explained his story. \u201cI want to know Jesus,\u201d he told him. Ali made a commitment to salvation standing in that church yard for the first time.\n\u201cI felt like a load had been lifted from my shoulders,\u201d Ali said. \u201cNew joy and peace had entered my heart and I knew I was born again.\u201d He ran straight home and brought his wife, Mariam, back to the church. Unlike her husband, Mariam had been raised as a Christian but converted in order to get married. \u201cI knew down in my heart that I had not done the right thing in running away from God,\u201d she said. \u201cI felt so empty and hopeless as a Muslim.\u201d All those years ago, Mariam remembers praying that her husband would become a Christian.\n\u201cI doubted it would happen,\u201d she said. \u201cBut when my husband came back that afternoon and informed me he had made commitment for salvation, I was shocked.\u201d She went back to the church with her husband, they met again with the pastor, and she gave her life to Christ as well. The couple faced opposition from their Muslim community when they found out about their conversion. The Mosque repossessed the furniture that had been donated to the family and demanded that they move out of their home, but they were undeterred.\nNew joy and peace had entered my heart and I knew I was born again.\n\u201cWhen they took all our household items and we were asked to leave the house that we had been given, I expected that.\u201d Mariam said. \u201cI needed a new beginning. I could feel my husband\u2019s determination to remain in Jesus. It was such a passion.\u201d The couple\u2019s new church community came to their aid \u2013 finding them a new home and helping Ali get a new job. \u201cI saw the love of Christ at the very beginning of my walk with Him demonstrated by the brethren from the Church,\u201d Ali said.\nThis couple\u2019s life and the lives of their children, have been completely changed. All because of a few men who stopped Ali on the road and shared the truth of Jesus. \u201cI found the light,\u201d Ali said, \u201cand I can\u2019t return to the dark. I am so ready to share the light with as many people as possible!\u201d \u201cSurely salvation has brought more things than I had asked,\u201d Marian exclaimed. \u201cI am so happy to have been reunited with my Saviour, Jesus Christ.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Has Whitney met your family and your friends and everyone? Jake Frail: Well, she has met my friends that are in Texas. So, we will be heading back there to meet my family before too long but I have a daughter who lives with me part time here in Texas. When they met, it was so crazy because Paige has these hand signals for me ... And so she's sitting in the back of the car and we're going to pick Whitney up, and she's got one hand signal she's gonna touch her hair if she thinks that she's pretty and she's gonna nod her head if she thinks that she's cool when she gets in the car. I mean, it just sounds like you guys are in such an amazing space.\nAnd like we've already talked about, someone who's so protective of her progress that she's made in her life, and that ... There's nothing that could probably cause me to feel more loved than the fact that she is willing to trust me to not get stuck there, to not get comfortable in this place. I think, and we talk about this all the time, my husband and I, in our relationship, just being in the space where you can be your own person but really have someone else's back and really be committed to that person and their happiness and know that you can trust each other. It makes her choice to do that so much more powerful, right?\nSo, when I heard this story, I was like, \u201cwhat an amazing situation for you to be able to kind of learn this stuff together and talk about it and then to see it come alive in your relationship.\u201d I'm wondering, is this one of the things ... If I say something to you like, \u201coh, this is the best relationship I've ever had,\u201d she says \u201cwhat makes you think that? So, the fact that she knows that and is protecting it and taking care of it, I think is amazing. So many of my clients describe coming home from work and going right to the kitchen and overeating. Overeating late at night after they've put their kids to bed.\nAnd the fact that you recognized that is even more astounding. So Laura has brilliantly decided to just focus on that type of day.\nHow claustrophobic it feels to go back into that place after coming so far. Brooke Castillo: Especially, you know, you have a woman that's very strong, very independent, very capable. And the fact that you guys talk about this in a way that's really open and honest and, I have to say for you to acknowledge the choice that she's making and what she's choosing to do and really recognize that and appreciate that, is ...\nShe's not even in the car yet and she's just walking towards the car and Paige saw her and all of a sudden she's waving her head back and forth like she's listening to rock music. But it's gonna have to be from the place that I'm kind of tied to living right now because of Paige. Jake Frail: And so, she is trusting me and I know how scary that is for her.\nI think so many of us in our relationships don\u2019t talk about deep subjects \u2013 what it\u2019s like to feel our emotions and what\u2019s really going on in our minds. They just started dating, a couple of months before, and they lived about an hour away, I think it was, from each other. He sent me a picture of them on the beach and him proposing to her. I'm so happy to have you on the show and you're going to talk about someone very special to you, yes? Fell in love very fast and have just kind of been realizing that both of us were coming out of positions where we had been putting in a lot of work to better ourselves, not even realizing that we were kind of doing it for each other before we had even met. She's been battling through trying to, more traditionally of your listeners trying to get ... And I found all of that extremely sexy, to be honest. But the funny part was that I had only known her for a week and she just straight up asked me what are your intentions in this relationship? I was like, \u201cman, that she would have the expectation that anyone would know that already at that time.\u201d But at the same time, I did know and so it was pretty exciting and I was so grateful to have the opportunity to just tell her right then that what I was looking for was a life long teammate. So, that really kind of set us off on that path right from the very beginning. Maybe to Whitney if she happens to listen to this someday? And I was only entitled to, sort of, the leftovers of what life had to offer.\nJust all these features that I'm so excited that Paige has an example of that in her life. But the part that blows me away, almost emotionally sometimes, is that I live in a small town right now.In his email, Jake said he wanted to propose to Whitney and asked for my help. So this episode is the result of our plan to help Jake propose. We don't talk about what it's like to feel our emotions. And they both loved the podcast so much and Jake sent me an email and it told me that he wanted to propose to Whitney and he wanted me to help him. This sounds great.\u201d And so, our plan became we were going to record a podcast together and he was going to turn it on in the car as if it were a podcast that he was just turning on to listen. And I just want to say congratulations to you Jake and congratulations to you Whitney. I thought you guys might be interested to see a person who has really embraced the idea of not buffering and someone who's willing to feel the feelings and face those feelings in order to kind of move beyond and push themselves and do a life that's more physically and emotionally healthy. She kind of came across your podcast for some inspiration. Yeah but on a much deeper level I guess, what really drew me to her, is that I noticed I was different around her. And she'd only been on there for a day and I think within three she had deleted that from her phone because she didn't like how it fit into her life. Jake Frail: She's just so protective of the progress that she's made but at the same time, it's not threatening. You are the person I was loving by working to heal long before we even met. I have one more coach who is going to talk to you about weight loss.I\u2019m not going to tell you much more; you\u2019re just going to have to listen in to find out how it all went down\u2026 Oh, you know, Brooke recorded a new podcast, here it is. I ask him to ask her, hey, can we put this on an episode because I think people will love it and love your story and love that you are getting married and that you shared the podcast and that it's so important to you. I'm so happy for you and I know you're going to have the most amazing marriage and life together. And what I've done, it's kind of an interesting perspective, is I've brought on one of my listeners who has applied this work but has also done it with their partner. Then she shared them with me as I came into her life and I started listening to them as well. And all of us women, we love to know that our honey's think we're beautiful. I've been coming through some stuff of my own and I just found my light back on again when I was with her. Of course you're having fun when you're falling in love with someone but also she really holds me accountable, I guess. Jake Frail: So, as I felt that accountability, it felt so good to me. I've got to back it up and it often causes me to do a little deeper reflection. It's very, very attractive to see someone who values the work they've put in to that extent. It lets you get to know them so quickly to be around someone that's so authentic, I guess. You are the person who is worth this comfort of remaining transparent when I feel embarrassed and you're worth continuing to work for, even when I'm tired. I decided to choose all of my weight loss coaches for January because a lot of people set that as a resolution for what they want to do. He shared how they were falling in love and developing their relationship while listening to this show and discussing it together. This is such a defining moment and I have the most amazing episode for you. We got this email from Jake, one of my listeners, and he was telling me all about how he and his girlfriend, Whitney, listen to the podcast together. And we have just had a very strong connection ever since then. Whitney's been listening to you for quite a bit longer than I have. One of the things I noticed about Whitney right away was that she is intent on living her life intentionally and she puts a really high value on her time and her thoughts. So, hopefully, Whitney will get a chance to hear this and is there anything you want to say on the podcast? Is there anything you kind of want to do a shout out? I know I've told you this before but before I met you, I was completely ready to live the rest of my life as if I'd already had my run. Not too long ago, I received an email from one of my listeners, Jake, telling me about how he and his girlfriend, Whitney, listen to the podcast together and apply everything that they\u2019ve learned. So, you want to tell us a little bit about her and your relationship with her? We started dating a few months back - a little over four months ago. Jake Frail: Sometimes together, but often times we listen to it separate and then talk about it. And I do think that having this experience and listening to the podcast together, I think will just continue to create that bond ongoing. I'm sure that you're listening to this as a matter of fact.\nHe\u2019ll tell you the only reason he\u2019s still alive and kicking is because of his ability to talk his way into (and out of) just about any type of situation.\nComments School of dating podcast 46460 Spam comments\nEp. 39 on dating - Journey Women Podcast\nFeb 19, 2018. \u201cGoing back to dating, we kind of think of our relationship with God as a transactional relationship, like 'Lord I'll do this and in return You're going to bless me in this way', and the natural order of life that happens most often is childhood, high school, college or a job, marriage, children, repeat.

It is said to have the most painful sting of any plant, not only in Australia, but the World.\n\u201cI like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It\u2019s so fuckin\u2019 heroic.\u201d \u2013 George Carlin\nAlthough called a tree, the Gympie-Gympie is a soft-wooded shrub that can reach 4-5m, but is often found as a smaller shrub around 0.1-1m tall. It has broad, oval or heart-shaped leaves (which appear furry due to a dense covering of tiny stinging hairs) with saw-tooth edges, and white or purple-red fruit. The stems and fruit are also covered in the stinging hairs.\nWhen touched, the tip of the hairs break off which turn the hairs into a self-injecting hypodermic needles. It is reported that brushing against it is like being burnt with hot acid and electrocuted at the same time.\nThe actual chemicals contained in the toxin are not completely understood; however, it is probably a peptide (organic chemical molecules made from linking amino acids together in a certain order) called moroidin, hence the plant\u2019s taxonomic name Dendrocnide moroides.\nAfter a person has been stung, the small hairs can become embedded in the skin, which can lead to long-term pain and sensitivity \u2013 there are many accounts of people suffering heavily for months from a sting.\nWorse still, the Gympie-Gympie is just as capable of stinging when its leaves are dead. The toxin in the hairs seems unaffected by age.\nOne account a soldier in the bush during World War II was caught short of toilet paper, used the wrong leaf, and was in so much pain that he shot himself in an attempt ease the pain. In 1866 a surveyor reported that his pack horse was stung by the plant, went mad and died in two hours.\n\u201c\u2026and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?\u201d \u2013 Vincent van Gogh\nPosted in Australia, Biology, Medicine, Nature, Pain, Plants, World War II\t| Tagged Australia, Biology, George Carlin, Nature, Pain, Plants, Vincent van Gogh\t| 7 Replies\nA human being has about the same number of genes as a cabbage.\nPumpkin Island, Australia, has been renamed XXXX Island.\nLipstick can still contain lead, but no more than 20 parts per million; arsenic, but no more than 3 parts per million; and mercury, but no more than one part per million.\nThe Dutch for \u2018piglet\u2019 is big.\nAccording to the Quran, the testimony of two women is needed to contradict that of a man.\nPosted in Animals, Australia, Biology, Dutch, English, Food, Ignorance, Islam, Knowledge, Language, Men, Modern Mythology, Nature, Plants, Prejudice, Quite Interesting Facts, Quran, Relations, Science, Sexism, Sociology, Theatre, Vegetables, Women\t| Tagged Animals, Australia, Biology, Dutch, English, Feminism, Food, Islam, Language, Lipstick, Make-up, Men, Nature, Quran, Religion, Sexism, Women\t| Leave a reply\nHenry IV of France promoted green parks in Paris.

        "raw_content": "< Little Richard / Run-DMC >\nBy Source (WP:NFCC#4), Fair use, Wikipedia\nDeath is a story of what was and what should have been. The Detroit based proto-punk band came before the founding fathers of punk music. They were ahead of such legends as the Ramones, Sex Pistols, and the Clash. They began five years before the most famous African-American Punk band, Bad Brains (to be covered later in our series). However, it would be thirty years before their first demo album is released. Until then they were known only to the most ardent of punk rock fans.\nThe Beginning of Death\nTheir story begins with three teenage brothers. The Hackneys (David, Dannis, and Bobby) would record demo tapes and put on shows from their garage. Initially, the trio was an R&B band called the Rock Fire Funk Express. However, that all changes after seeing an Alice Cooper show. The show inspires them to look for something newer, harder. Music critic Peter Margasak retrospectively wrote of their musical direction, \u201cThe youngest of the brothers, guitarist David, pushed the group in a hard-rock direction that presaged punk, and while this certainly didn\u2019t help them find a following in the mid-70s, today it makes them look like visionaries.\u201d[1]\nThe trio stripped away all remains of their R&B influence (unlike Funkadelic). Their new sound is a more in-your-face rock with politically influenced lyrics. David pushes for the name Death. It is a tribute to their father who passed in a car accident. The name is not intended to be dark and doom, but as a chance to twist it into a positive (a tough task). With this, they morph into the proto-punk band Death, a group light years ahead of its time. They are the bridge from such great Detroit acts like the Stooges and the MC5 to the punk movement.\nIt\u2019s really sickening to see\nThe way they lie on TV\nThe truth is that he can be\nA better man than you see\nBut when decision time comes\nThat\u2019s when they have all the fun\n\u2013Lyrics from Politicians in my Eyes\nRequest to Change from Death\nIn 1974, with the help of soul producer Don Davis, the brothers began recording a demo album at the United Sound studio in Detriot. Their first few recordings drew the interests of Columbia Records producer Clive Davis (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame). Clive was interested in Death as long as they change their name to something more commercial. David Hackney refused to cave in (a punk stance if there was ever one) and would not change the name.\nThe refusal stopped any deal with Clive and ultimately tarnished their relationship with producer Don Davis. With seven of the twelve planned songs complete, the recording ended. Two years later, a small record label pressed 500 copies of the single Politicians in my Eyes with Keep on Knocking on b-side. In time, the session tapes were stored away, and the band soon broke up in 1977. The Hackney brothers went on to record a couple of gospel albums as the Fourth Movement. Dannis and David later fronted the reggae band Lambsbread, with whom they still record.\nBy Source, Fair use, Wikipedia\nThe legacy of Death might have ended there. The trio never really discussed Death with their children. Bobby Sr. said. \u201cWe just didn\u2019t want to relive it, and I especially didn\u2019t want to relive it again with my children.\u201d [2a] However, at a party in 2008, Bobby Jr. heard Death\u2019s single being played and recognized his father\u2019s voice. Suddenly, with the help of a Google search, he discovered the Holy Grail-like tale of their only recording. This reverence for the band\u2019s music leads Bobby Sr. to find the original session tapes in his attic. In 2009, the Drag City label released the seven completed songs from 1974 under the title \u201cFor the Whole World to See.\u201d\nJack White (of the White Stripes and Raconteurs) in a New York Times article shares his reaction to first hearing Death, \u201cThe first time the stereo played \u2018Politicians in My Eyes,\u2019 I couldn\u2019t believe what I was hearing. When I was told the history of the band and what year they recorded this music, it just didn\u2019t make sense. Ahead of punk, and ahead of their time.\u201d [2b]\nMany artists in this thirteen piece series found fame, but Death began and ended with a small, unknown and cultlike following of devoted fans. I feel had they released the album in the mid-seventies, things may have been different. Since the release of the original seven songs, their music is now reaching a new generation of musicians. I genuinely believe their influence on Rock is just gaining strength. The trio is the topic of a 2012 documentary titled A Band Called Death.\nThe Remaining Bobby and Dannis performing \u201cKeep on Knocking\u201d forty years after its release.\n1.^ Death \u2013 \u201cFreakin\u2019 Out\u201d | Music 2010 | SXSW \u2013 YouTube.\n2.a-b^ This Band Was Punk Before Punk Was Punk | New Your Times\nTags: Black ArtistBlack MusiciansDeathHackney BrothersMusicPunk MusicPunk Rock\nNext story Basket Case: Say Hello to My Little Friend\nPrevious story The Monkees Take One to the Head",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Formstorming and Modularity \u2013 Abby Martinez\nFormstorming & Modularity: Jane Doe \u2192\nFormstorming and Modularity: Julia Midkiff\n\u201cValentines 2017\u201d by Marian Bantjes, 2018\n\u201cValentines 2017\u201d features an image of two ears facing each other to form the shape of a heart. This is a series of hand-printed linocut design printed on different colored paper, reds and pink, with different colors of ink. Bantjes explains on her website that this image could be interpreted as \u201clistening to your heart\u201d, importance of listening in a relationship, or simply as an image of two ears (her portfolio).\nFormstorming is the process of extending the imaginative and creative though beyond typical visual arts and creating something that in a way isn\u2019t \u201csearchable\u201d. Being able to form a visual simply by brainstorming and not relying on already created images, such as those you can search for on the internet, is a huge part of design. Although Bantjes does not clearly explain her creative process in coming up with this idea, the simplicity of the image conveying a complex idea speaks for itself. Everyone thinks of a heart in different ways, but no one in a normal state of mind would think \u201ctwo ears next to each other totally makes a heart shape\u201d. The unusual image paired with many possible interpretations by the viewer lends a deeper meaning to the artwork and makes it a successful work of art.\nWhen looking at the medium and constraints of the artwork the artist tells us that the image was carved out and printed onto paper. In terms of modularity, Bantjes was constrained to the shape of the paper and the fact that carving out the image has some restrains in terms of details, size, and texture. The ears are clearly made from repeated diagonal lines as opposed to careful shading or some sort of gradient as that would be very difficult to carve into a block. The shape of the paper was not entirely restraining, as it was more the block, but it provided a background and another source of color for the print. This brought on the simplicity in the color as well, where the paper provided the color for the image and the print was monotone in order to feature the background color and overall image.",

        "raw_content": "tags: running, temescal canyon, trails\nI\u2019ve been neglecting trail running for a while now because frankly, hills are my enemy and I hate them with a passion. I finally decided to join some people for a trail run up in the Santa Monica mountains because I have heard it improves your running a lot. After Pasadena and getting killed on the hills, I figure I should give it a chance and see if I make it out alive. A group of us met up at the ungodly hour of 6:30, I haven\u2019t been up this early in a long time, but I was ready for the challenge. To get to our meeting point, I drove up the Temescal Canyon hill, usually when I run with the Leggers and the mentor suggests doing that route, I tend to opt out because it is a veryy long incline up and did I mention, I don\u2019t like hills. Wow..the first 3 miles or so were deadly, I have never experienced anything like it. It was steep, with loose rocks and at some points, I just wanted to get on my hands and crawl up the mountain. But, I didn\u2019t want to lose sight of anyone and fall behind otherwise I might not have made it back. The trail was narrow and we had to do single file, I just kept my head low and kept my pace trying to avoid any loose rocks. The uphill climb didn\u2019t stop, and when it did level out, it was only for a couple seconds before it ascended again. I saw the elevation map beforehand and couldn\u2019t believe we were going to be running to 2000 ft elevation. After a while, I would run for 15 strides, and walk for 3 strides. I knew if I kept walking, I would just end up climbing up the hill. The air seemed thin the higher up we ran, and that combined with heavy breathing made the run that much more challenging. We ended up losing everyone along the way, and it was just me and the leader of the group. I tried to keep up with him and think about the top of the mountain and how good the downhill will feel. At some points when it did level out, it made running feel so easy compared to the uphill climb. Finally we made it to the 5 mile turnaround point and we were up at the top. It felt as if we had done 10 miles already. The last 5 miles were pretty awesome, although there were some steep downhills, you couldn\u2019t just run really fast because of all the loose rocks. I had to be careful not to trip and fall on my head, but it was nice knowing we ran up the beast and now we were reaping the rewards. The trail back was nice because it was shaded and kind of like we were in a forest and we even saw a little bit of a waterfall. I understand why we run so early because it is pretty brutal running uphill when the sun is beating down on you. I am so glad I came out and did this and I can see how much it will help my running, it really puts all the hills I have ever run to shame. I\u2019m ready to explore new trails and hopefully run a lot more with these guys. It was definitely hardcore and a nice change in scenery from the beach. Now I just need to get some trail running shoes\u2026Here are my stats, check out the elevation tab. Garmin was acting up the last 5 miles saying there was a lap error, and it kept beeping every 4 seconds but the timer was still going, so there are no split times after the fifth mile.\nhttp://connect.garmin.com/activity/3375290\n\u2190 Pasadena Half Marathon Inaugural Redux\nPalos Verdes Half Marathon \u2192\nI\u2019ve said it before, and I\u2019ll say it again: You are insane.\nGood job though, you got a lot done while I was sleeping.\nhmm..now how did you bypass my moderator and post this comment without me approving it first\u2026sneaky",

        "title": "Overnight in the Island of the Sun | Land Of The Traveler",
        "raw_content": "The Island of the Sun, or the Isla del Sol, in Spanish, is an other-worldly island, surrounded by the tranquil waters of Lake Titicaca. Lake Titicaca forms parts of the border between Peru and Bolivia, but the Island of the Sun is much closer to the Bolivian shores of this vast body of water. Most people arrive from either La Paz or Cusco in the little town of Copacabana, (not to be confused with the Brazilian beach), which nestles next to the lake, and use that as their jumping off point for discovering this mystical island.\nIsla del sol hill top view Justin Vidamo\nMost people tend to arrive in Copacabana in the afternoon and negotiate a price for their boat trip over to the island the next day. Once you\u2019ve bargained sufficiently, enjoy a slightly over-priced cocktail at one of the many bars overlooking the lake and watch the sun go down. Next morning you\u2019ll be up bright and early to catch your boat. If you ask at your hostel in Copacabana, they\u2019ll happily let you store your bags there whilst you overnight on the island with just a day pack. You\u2019ll be doing a fair amount of walking, so travel as lightly as possible.\nisla del sol, Justin Vidamo cc by 2.0\nThere are three settlements on the Island of the Sun, and the northern village and southern village are where boats will pick you up and drop you off. The northern village is the closest to most of the points of interest on the island. When you get off your boat you\u2019ll be rounded up by a local tour guide, a member of the community. These guides only speak Spanish (their native language is Quechua!) but there will normally be someone in the group who can act as a translator for the non-Spanish speakers. In my case, it fell to me to relay the information in English!\nBefore heading off, we quickly popped along the shore in search of somewhere to lay our heads that night. For just a few dollars we found a private room with lake views, rustic, but perfect for our one night on the island. You also have to pay an entrance fee to the northern section of the island, charged by the local community.\nSacred Rocks\nYou pay a quick visit to the mini-museum in the village then head off to the island\u2019s main attraction, the sacred rock which one drew pilgrims from the four corners of the vast Incan empire. On the way you pass through the village, where families still live off the land, and donkeys and pigs are tethered outside houses. It\u2019s incredibly quaint, picturesque and straight out of a movie set. Once you reach the sacred stone, your guide explains the history of the spot. There are also the remains of a temple complex and a sacrificial table. Once the tour\u2019s over and you\u2019ve handed over your tip, you can hike up to the highest spot on the island, from where you have panoramic views over the lake and down over the ruins below.\nSome people, who have chosen to do the island in a day, head straight off towards the south of the island, from where their boat will collect them, but those who are staying can mill around the site for as long as they please. Head back to the village for some food, and then find a spot on the beach and watch island life unfold. As the sun goes down, locals might start a football game, and you\u2019ll see people going to fetch their donkeys from their grazing spots. Kick back on the beach and enjoy the slow pace and the beautiful sunset, as the sky turns pink and the stars start to emerge.\nOne thing not to be missed on the island is the night sky. It can get extremely cold at night here, so wrap up warm for a spot of stargazing. There aren\u2019t many restaurants on the island, although more are being built, but you can find good, basic food in the village. Be sure to take a torch out with you, as streetlights are not a feature of this vehicle-less island.\nOmar Andr\u00e9s Le\u00f3n Torrescc by sa2.0\nAfter fuelling up on breakfast, and preferably buying a few snacks for the walk, you\u2019ll head off south from the village. The walk should take a couple of hours. Make sure you wear good shoes as it\u2019s steep in places. The path takes you towards the village in the centre of the island, where you will again be charged a nominal amount for the pleasure of visiting. It then winds upwards and over to the western shore, where you will pay to enter the southern section. Expect a demanding climb, but incredible reviews to reward you, and a real insight into the daily lives of the traditional communities who still call the island home.\nThe village in the south is a bit more developed in the north, with more of a tourist infrastructure, which is reflected in the slightly higher price of the food. You wind your way down through colourful houses, some of which have llamas tethered outside, eventually coming to the sheltered harbour, where your return boat will leave from in the early afternoon.\nIf you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019ll fall in love with this incredible island the second you set foot on it. There\u2019s magic in the air, and the slow pace of life is infectious. It will be with a reluctant heart that you climb aboard the boat back to Copacabana, from where you can catch a bus on to Cusco or La Paz.",

        "title": "Top things to do and explore in Athens | Land Of The Traveler",
        "raw_content": "Greece might be going through a rough time right now, but Athens is as bubbly as ever. Legend has it that Athens was named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena, who became the patron of the town after winning a competition against her uncle Poseidon, the god of the sea. Athens and Poseidon were invited to present a gift to the inhabitants of the town. Athena\u2019s olive tree won over Poseidon\u2019s salty stream. Athens is not only a land of legends but also of love for life, Greek-style. Here are the top things to do in Athens across the year.\nWe owe so much to the ancient Greeks, from democracy, philosophy, architecture, the Olympics, theatre, mythology to the Hippocratic oath. Brush up your history and Greek mythology knowledge by visiting some of Athens\u2019 spectacular sights. If you\u2019d like to lay your eyes on the Parthenon up close, the symbol of Athens, an ancient temple from the 5th century BC dedicated to Athena, head to the Acropolis. The magnitude of the construction on the hilltop guarding over Athens will surprise you. Tip of the day: it\u2019s even better at night, seen from a hill nearby, rooftop bar or by walking the streets of Plaka.\nA similar-looking but smaller temple, this time dedicated to Hephaestus, the crippled god of the forge, fire and blacksmiths, can be found at the Ancient Agora. The Ancient Agora is a marketplace which dates back to the 6th century BC. It was replaced by the Roman Agora of the 1st century BC after Roman occupation, so when you hear talk about the Agora, be careful: there are two. The Roman Agora is a lot more compact and can be easily seen as you walk down to Monastiraki from Plaka.\nThe Temple of Olympian Zeus has some nicely preserved columns.\nAthens\u2019s got over 3 million inhabitants, but it never feels overcrowded. That might be also because it\u2019s so spread out. Climb up one of the many hills to take in some views of the Parthenon, of the clusters of white buildings and of the blue sea stretching in the distance. From Panepistimio metro station take a bus or walk up to Asklipiou 80. It\u2019s only a 15-minute hike from there to Lycabettus Hill at 277m: take a right straight up past Khora Community Centre. Or if you want to head the other direction, cross the street to the left and head straight to Strefi Hill. The Lycabettus funicular is also an option especially on a hot summer day and takes you up from Aristippou street in Kolonaki. The 19th century Chapel of St. George, a restaurant and a theatre can be found on top of the highest hill in Athens, Lycabettus. Strefi Hill is much more accessible and quite cute. At the time of my visit, there was a phallic graffiti on the stone pillar sticking up at the top, so photo background sorted.\nFilopappos Hill offers the best up-close views of the Acropolis. It is located south-west of the Acropolis at only 147m. Walk up the shady paths, past Socrates\u2019s prison where he was held captive before being sentenced to death, to the Monument of Filopappos. The monument was built in the 2nd century in the honour of Filopappos, a Roman consul. From here your eyes can catch sight of the Saronic Gulf and the mountains of Attica. Athens will feel right at your feet.\nEqually you could have a nice meal or cocktail in an elegant rooftop bar or restaurant like the Socrates Roof Garden on top of Divani Palace Acropolis Hotel, GB Roof Garden Restaurant on top of Grande Bretagne Hotel, Roof Garden Snack Bar on top of Plaka Hotel or at the Acropolis Museum Restaurant.\nAthens has got personality \u2013 and opinions. This is even more obvious in the anarchist district of Exarcheia, where you can see all types of graffiti, from \u2018the old man and the sea\u2019 type of graffiti in an old tavern to socially and politically charged graffiti protecting the poor or refusing all form of organisation. Potentially the most photographed graffiti in Exarcheia pictures a homeless man lying on one side and reads: \u2018Dedicated to the poor and homeless here and around the globe\u2019.\nYou can even come across colourful Picasso-like graffiti on a backstreet in Plaka if you feel adventurous and go explore.\nJust walk the small streets of Plaka from Acropoli station to Monastiraki and you will find plenty of restaurants, ouzeries and taverns with live Greek music from the very lively to the very sad. Mnisikleous street gets quite busy. If you\u2019re not a smoker and wish to avoid the crowds and heavy smoke, go on a week night for a more intimate experience.\nIf you\u2019re after the real Greek experience, go to a bouzoukia, a nightclub that plays live Greek music, like Club 22. The party starts late in the night (or morning) at around 1 or 2, when the top act comes in, and goes on until 6 or 7, so make sure you take a nap before. It\u2019s quite common for people to dance on chairs or tables and throw flowers they buy at the nightclub at the singer as a sign of appreciation. You\u2019ll need to make a reservation and split an expensive bottle starting at over 100 euros.\nPanathenaic Stadium, source: VangelisB, CC by ND 2.0\nRun the true marathon\nIf you\u2019re around in November when the temperatures drop, why not run the real marathon from the town Marathon to the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, one of the largest ancient stadiums? If you\u2019re a dedicated marathon runner, you probably already know that the term \u2018marathon\u2019 comes from the 42.195 km run by the Greek soldier Philippides from Marathon to Athens to inform of the victory over the Persians in 490BC. The real marathon can be quite challenging as there is a steeper part but it is nevertheless a unique and very rewarding experience.\nGet your groove on in Gazi\nGazi is packed with bars and clubs just outside Keramikos metro station and it\u2019s quite easy to walk from one to the other if you get bored of the music. Not all charge an entrance fee.\nWhile beaches in Athens are nothing to write home about compared to the beautiful blue waters of the Greek islands, living in a city by the sea makes a world of difference whether you enjoy swimming, beach sports, the sound of the waves or having a drink on the beach. The tram takes you from Syntagma Square in the city centre all the way south along the seafront towards the sandy beaches of Glyfada or northwest towards Piraeus harbour. Just hop off where the beach looks inviting. Kalamaki Beach has a nice beach bar on a private beach. There is a nice boardwalk around Faliro taking you all the way to Flisvos Marina where you can find many restaurants and bars.\nIf you take the metro to Piraues, walk or take a bus to Kastella for restaurants right on the waterfront next to the gigantic boats. There\u2019s also a beach where you can swim not very far. You will get spectacular views towards Glyfada and the other side of the waterfront if you climb up to street level from the marina.\nIf you come to Athens for Christmas, Syntagma Square with its changing colours fountain and decorated trees and the Christmas Factory with its toy and sweet factories, rollercoaster, Ferris wheel, games and workshops, are the places to get into the Christmas spirit.\nAt night, Little Kook teahouse will get you smiling like a little kid in front of his first Christmas tree with its exterior decorations: toy soldiers, Christmas trees, tinsel, colourful flashing lights and a scary rooftop gargoyle. From Monastiraki station walk across the square, take a left and then second right: you will spot this wonderful teahouse at the end of a street with many colourful lamps. You can\u2019t miss it!\nWhether you\u2019re after a statuette of Zeus or of the Discobolus, a laurel wreath for your Greek god/goddess wanna-be friends at home, a painting of the Acropolis against the sunset for the romantics, some ouzo for those party people or the latest high-street fashion, Athens has it all. Walk the small streets of Plaka from Acropolis metro station to Monastiraki and you will come across some very cute little shops. Monastiraki flea market gets very busy on Sundays as shoppers browse the many antiques. Ermou street is lined up with the big brand names. The side streets along Ermou street have smaller shops where you can find good bargains. If you prefer big malls, head to the Attica Department Store in Panepistimiou, the largest shopping mall in Greece, The Mall Athens, Heart Mall or Metro Mall.\nHave you ever imagined what it was like to watch a play in an ancient amphitheatre? Now you can do it \u2013 if you are in Athens between May and October. This arts festival has been running theatrical, musical and dance performances for over 50 years in top locations across Athens and Epidaurus, including the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, an amphitheatre on the southwest slope of the Acropolis which dates back to the 2nd century.\nOdeon of Herodes Atticus, Source: pixabay\nWhether it\u2019s in Plaka, Piraeus marina or Psirri area, here\u2019s what to absolutely try while eating out. Ordering mezedes, small appetizers similar to the Spanish tapas in concept, are a nice way to mix and match. You can\u2019t visit Greece and not have some delicious Kalamata olives, moussaka, Greek salad, feta, cinnamon lamb stew or saganaki with melted graviera cheese. Have some ouzo, metaxa or on a cold winter night when temperatures drop to 5 degrees, rakomelo, a hot mix of raki or tsipouro, honey, cinnamon and cloves. Greek food is indeed the stuff of legends.",

        "raw_content": "George Heilmeier\nLiquid crystal scientist George H. Heilmeier was born in 1936 in Philadelphia. He earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and then moved on to Princeton where he earned MA, MSE, and PhD degrees in solid-state electronics. Soon after graduation, he joined RCA Laboratories, where his work on various electronic and electro-optic devices led to his promotion to Head of Solid State Device Research in 1966.\nHeilmeier was working at RCA\u2019s David Sarnoff Research Center in 1963 when he and Richard Williams published a report suggesting the use of liquid crystal materials for display. Heilmeier and a lab group including Nunzio Luce, Louis Zanoni, Joel Goldmacher, Joseph Castellano, and Lucian Barton began investigating the use of liquid crystal displays for a television concept. The group realized that LCD (liquid crystal display) TVs were many years off, so they concentrated on developing the digital time display for clocks and watches. Some of the team left RCA to form Optel Corporation, a company that produced LCD watches for several watch companies and later marketed LCD watches under its own name.\nHeilmeier\u2019s liquid crystal displays used dynamic scattering method, or DSM, a process in which an electrical charge is applied, which rearranges the molecules so that they scatter light. These were replaced by an improved version, invented by James Fergason in 1969, which used the twisted nematic field effect of liquid crystals. Heilmeier is credited with setting the ball in motion for the use of LCDs in calculators, watches, computers, and other instruments. In 1968, he was recognized by RCA with its prestigious David Sarnoff Award.\nIn 1970, Heilmeier was chosen as a White House Fellow to work on research, planning, and technology assessment for the Secretary of Defense. The following year, he was named Assistant Director of Defense Research and Engineering, in charge of all Department of Defense programs in electronics, computer technology, and physical sciences. In 1975, he became the Director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), where he managed projects including stealth aircraft, lasers, and artificial intelligence. While working for DARPA, he was twice awarded the Department of Defense Distinguished Civilian Service Medal, the highest civilian award given by the department.\nHeilmeier left DARPA in 1977 to join Texas Instruments. There he managed research and development projects in petroleum exploration, systems technology, microelectronics, and software. He was appointed Vice President of Corporate Research, Development, Engineering, and Strategic Planning in 1978 and was named Senior Vice President and Chief Technical Officer in 1983.\nIn 1991, Heilmeier was elected president and CEO of Bellcore, formerly Bell Communications Research, a research and engineering consortium owned by the seven regional Bell operating companies. He later focused on coordinating efforts to develop a national information infrastructure that he said would bring interactive media into users\u2019 homes by linking telephones, computers, and television to produce video, sound, and data. Over the course of his career, Heilmeier earned 15 patents and received numerous awards, including the National Academy of Engineering Founders Award (1991), the National Medal of Science (presented by President Bush in 1991), the John Scott Award for Scientific Achievements from the City of Philadelphia (1996), the IEEE Medal of Honor (1997), and the John Fritz Award (1999).\nAdditionally, Heilmeier was a member of the Defense Science Board, the National Security Agency Scientific Advisory Board, and the Board of Directors of companies including TRW, the MITRE Corporation, Compaq Computer Corporation, INET Inc., Teletech Holdings, and Automatic Data Processing (ADP) Corp. He was also a member of the National Academy of Engineering and a fellow of the IEEE and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.\nHeilmeier died of a stroke in 2014 at the age of 77.",

        "title": "Nash implementation in production economies with unequal skills: a characterization | SpringerLink",
        "raw_content": "Nash implementation in production economies with unequal skills: a characterization\nNaoki Yoshihara\nThe present study examines production economies with unequal labor skills, where the planner is ignorant of the set of feasible allocations in advance of production. In particular, we characterize Nash implementation by canonical mechanisms by means of Maskin monotonicity and a new axiom, non-manipulability of unused skills (NUS), where the latter represents a weak independence property with respect to changes in skills. Following these characterizations, we show that some Maskin monotonic social choice correspondences are not implementable if information about individual skills is absent.\nWe wish to give our special thanks to the editor in charge and two reviewers of this journal, whose comments and suggestions substantially improved the paper. We are also grateful to Arunava Sen, Guoqiang Tian, Michele Lombardi, Hans Peters, Yoshi Saijo, William Thomson, and Takuma Wakayama for their helpful discussions and to all the participants of the International Meeting of the Society for Social Choice and Welfare in Moscow in July 2010, the Annual Meeting of the Japanese Economic Association in June 2010, and the workshops at Maastricht University, Ecole Polytechnique, and Keio University.\nAs a preliminary step, we construct two auxiliary functions, which are used in the proofs of Theorem 2. Given \\({\\varvec{x}}\\in \\left[ 0,{\\bar{x}} \\right] ^{n}\\) and \\(i\\in N\\), let\n$$\\begin{aligned} \\pi \\left( {\\varvec{x}}_{-i}\\right) \\equiv \\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll} \\max _{j\\ne i\\text { s.t. }x_{j}<{\\bar{x}}}\\frac{x_{j}+{\\bar{x}}}{2} &{}\\quad \\text {if there exists }j\\in N\\backslash \\left\\{ i\\right\\} \\text { such that }x_{j}< {\\bar{x}}\\text {,} \\\\ {\\bar{x}} &{}\\quad \\text {otherwise.} \\end{array} \\right. \\end{aligned}$$\nLet the notation \\(\\sigma _{i}\\in {\\mathcal {S}}\\) represent the announced skill of agent i, which is not necessarily identical to a truthful skill \\( s_{i}\\in {\\mathcal {S}}\\) of agent i, and \\(\\varvec{\\sigma }=\\left( \\sigma _{i}\\right) _{i\\in N}\\in {\\mathcal {S}}^{n}\\) represent a profile of the announced skills of all agents. Then,\nLet \\(d^{{\\varvec{y}}}\\) be such that for each \\(w\\in \\mathbb {R} _{+}\\), each \\(\\left( \\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}} \\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in {\\mathcal {S}}^{n}\\times \\left[ 0, {\\bar{x}}\\right] ^{n}\\times \\mathbb {R}_{+}^{n}\\), and each \\(i\\in N\\),\\(d_{i}^{{\\varvec{y}}}\\left( \\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,} {\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}},w\\right) =\\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll} w &{} \\text {if }x_{i}=\\pi \\left( {\\varvec{x}}_{-i}\\right)<{\\bar{x}} \\text { or }x_{i}<\\pi \\left( {\\varvec{x}}_{-i}\\right) ={\\bar{x}}\\text {, and }y_{i}=0\\text {,} \\\\ 0 &{} \\text { otherwise.} \\end{array} \\right. \\)\nLet \\(d^{\\varvec{\\sigma }}\\) be such that for each \\(w\\in \\mathbb {R} _{+}\\), each \\(\\left( \\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in {\\mathcal {S}}^{n}\\times \\left[ 0, {\\bar{x}}\\right] ^{n}\\times \\mathbb {R}_{+}^{n}\\), and each \\(i\\in N\\),\\(d_{i}^{\\varvec{\\sigma }}\\left( \\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,} {\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}},w\\right) =\\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll} w &{} \\begin{array}{l} \\text {if }x_{i}=0\\text {, }\\sigma _{i}>\\sigma _{j}\\text { for each }j\\ne i\\text {, } \\\\ \\text {and }y_{i}>\\max \\left\\{ f\\left( \\sum _{j\\ne i}\\sigma _{j}{\\overline{x}} \\right) ,w\\right\\} \\end{array} \\\\ 0 &{} \\text {otherwise.} \\end{array} \\right. \\)\nThe function \\(d^{{\\varvec{y}}}\\) assigns all of the output produced to only one agent who provides the maximal positive amount, but less than \\({\\bar{x}}\\), of labor time and reports zero demand for output. The function \\(d^{\\varvec{\\sigma }}\\) assigns all of the output produced to only one agent who reports the highest skill and does not work.\nLet us assume that a game form in \\(\\Gamma \\) requires agents to announce their own skills. Moreover, assume that this game form specifies the share of output by using the function \\(d^{\\varvec{\\sigma }}\\) whenever the expected output \\(f\\left( \\sum \\sigma _{k}x_{k}\\right) \\) derived from the deta \\(\\left( \\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\right) \\) differs from the realized output \\(w\\left( {\\varvec{s}},{\\varvec{x}}\\right) \\). Then, it has an interesting property as the following Lemma A1 shows.\nLemma A1\nLet Assumption 1hold. Let \\( \\gamma =\\left( A,g\\right) \\in \\Gamma \\) be a game form, where every agent i is requested to announce his/her own skill, \\(\\sigma _{i} \\), as a part of a message, and the outcome function g specifies the share of the output according to the function \\(d^{ \\varvec{\\sigma }}\\) whenever \\(f\\left( \\sum \\sigma _{i}x_{i}\\right) \\ne w\\left( {\\varvec{s}},{\\varvec{x}}\\right) \\) . Given \\(\\left( {\\varvec{u}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\in {\\mathcal {E}}\\), let \\( {\\varvec{a}}=\\left( {\\varvec{m}}\\mathbf {,}\\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}} \\right) \\in \\times _{i\\in N}A_{i}\\)bea Nash equilibrium of \\(\\left( \\gamma ,{\\varvec{u}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\) such that \\(f\\left( \\sum \\sigma _{k}{\\widehat{x}} _{k}\\right) =w\\left( {\\varvec{s}},\\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}\\right) \\) . Then,for each \\(i\\in N\\) with \\({\\widehat{x}}_{i}>0\\), \\( \\sigma _{i}=s_{i}\\).\nThis proof is presented exactly as Lemma 1 in Yamada and Yoshihara (2007). Note that the mechanism, \\(\\gamma ^{*}\\), constructed in the proof of Theorem 2 meets the premise of Lemma A1.\nAs a preliminary step, given \\({\\varvec{s}}\\in {\\mathcal {S}}^{n}\\), \\( {\\varvec{z}}=\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in Z^{n}\\), and \\(p\\in \\Delta \\), let \\(B\\left( p,s_{i},z_{i}\\right) \\equiv \\left\\{ z_{i}^{\\prime }\\in Z\\mid p_{y}y_{i}^{\\prime }-p_{x}s_{i}x_{i}^{\\prime }\\le p_{y}y_{i}-p_{x}s_{i}x_{i}\\right\\} \\). Moreover, define \\(B\\left( \\Delta ^{P}\\left( {{\\varvec{e}}}, {{\\varvec{z}}}\\right) ,s_{i},z_{i}\\right) \\equiv \\cup _{p\\in \\Delta ^{P}\\left( {\\varvec{e}},{\\varvec{z}}\\right) }B\\left( p,s_{i},z_{i}\\right) \\).\nLet \\(p_{\\alpha ^{{}}}\\left( x_{i};{\\varvec{x}}_{-i},{ {\\varvec{s}}}\\right) \\equiv \\lim _{x_{i}^{\\prime }\\rightarrow x_{i}} \\frac{f\\left( \\sum _{j\\ne i}s_{j}x_{j}+s_{i}x_{i}^{\\prime }\\right) -f\\left( \\sum _{j\\ne i}s_{j}x_{j}+s_{i}x_{i}\\right) }{s_{i}x_{i}^{\\prime }-s_{i}x_{i}} s_{i}\\), where \\(\\alpha =`+\\)\u2019 if \\(x_{i}^{\\prime }>x_{i}\\); and \\(\\alpha =\\)\u2018\u2212\u2019 if \\(x_{i}^{\\prime }<x_{i}\\). Given \\(\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{ \\sigma }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in {\\mathcal {U}}^{n}\\times {\\mathcal {S}}^{n}\\times \\left[ 0,{\\bar{x}}\\right] ^{n}\\times \\mathbb {R}_{+}^{n}\\), let\n$$\\begin{aligned}&N\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,} {\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\\\&\\quad \\equiv \\left\\{ i\\in N\\mid \\exists \\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\in Z\\text { s.t. }\\left( \\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{x}} _{-i}\\right) ,\\left( y_{i}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{y}}_{-i}\\right) \\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\right\\} . \\end{aligned}$$\nLet us see how the set \\(N\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma } \\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\) can function in the mechanism. When \\(i\\in N\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}} \\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\), there are two cases: one is \\(x_{i}=0\\), and the other is \\( x_{i}>0\\).\nLet \\(x_{i}=0\\) for \\(i\\in N\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma } \\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\). Then, \\(\\sigma _{i}\\) may be a false announcement whenever there exists \\(\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\circ },x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\), rather than just \\(\\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\), such that \\(\\left( \\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{x}}_{-i}\\right) ,\\left( y_{i}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{y}}_{-i}\\right) \\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\circ }, \\varvec{\\sigma }_{-i}\\right) \\right) \\) holds. If such a profile exists, then this agent could be a potential deviator in her announcements of not only her consumption vector but also her skill. Therefore, the mechanism would assign a \u2018punishment outcome\u2019 to this agent by taking \\(\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\circ },x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\) as a potential true message. However, such a potential true message would not necessarily be uniquely specified, in that there may be multiple potential true messages. In such a case, we specify how to select one from the set of multiple potential true messages in the following way. For \\(i\\in N\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma } \\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\) with \\(x_{i}=0\\), let \\(\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}},x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}},y_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}\\right) \\) be selected by:\n$$\\begin{aligned}&\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}},x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}},y_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}\\right) \\\\&\\quad =\\arg \\min _{\\left\\{ \\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\circ },x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\mid \\left( \\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{x}}_{-i}\\right) ,\\left( y_{i}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{y}}_{-i}\\right) \\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\circ },\\varvec{\\sigma } _{-i}\\right) \\right) \\right\\} } y_{i}^{\\circ }-p_{\\alpha ^{{}}}\\left( x_{i}^{\\circ };{\\varvec{x}}_{-i},\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\circ },\\varvec{\\sigma }_{-i}\\right) \\right) x_{i}^{\\circ }\\text {.} \\end{aligned}$$\nHere, if \\(\\sigma _{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}>0\\), then \\( y_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}- p_{\\alpha ^{{}}}\\left( x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}; {\\varvec{x}}_{-i}, \\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}},\\varvec{\\sigma }_{-i}\\right) \\right) x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}=y_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}- p_{-}\\left( x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}; {\\varvec{x}}_{-i},\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}},\\varvec{\\sigma } _{-i}\\right) \\right) x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}\\), while if \\(\\sigma _{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}=0\\), then \\(y_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}-p_{\\alpha ^{{}}}\\left( x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}};{\\varvec{x}}_{-i},\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}, \\varvec{\\sigma }_{-i}\\right) \\right) x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}=y_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}-p_{+}\\left( x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}};{\\varvec{x}}_{-i},\\left( \\sigma _{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}},\\varvec{\\sigma }_{-i}\\right) \\right) x_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}=y_{i}^{\\mu ^{{}}}\\).\nNext, consider \\(x_{i}>0\\) for \\(i\\in N\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{ \\sigma }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\). In this case, \\(\\sigma _{i}\\) may be the ture information as discussed below. Then, as there exists \\(\\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\) such that \\(\\left( \\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{x}}_{-i}\\right) ,\\left( y_{i}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{y}}_{-i}\\right) \\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\) by definition of \\(N\\left( {\\varvec{u}} ,\\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,} {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\), such \\(\\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\) is a potential true message for agent i. Then, the mechanism would assign a \u2018punishment outcome\u2019 to this agent by taking \\(\\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\) as a potential true message. Note that, again there may be multiple potential true messages. However, in this case, any selection from the set of potential true messages leaves the agent indifferent, as \\(u_{i}\\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) =u_{i}\\left( x_{i}^{\\prime \\circ },y_{i}^{\\prime \\circ }\\right) \\) holds for any different potential true messages \\(\\left( x_{i}^{\\circ },y_{i}^{\\circ }\\right) \\) and \\(\\left( x_{i}^{\\prime \\circ },y_{i}^{\\prime \\circ }\\right) \\), given that \\(\\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\subseteq P\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\). Therefore, in this case, the specification of a \u2018punishment outcome\u2019 is not difficult, as discussed below.\nNow, we are ready to discuss the construction of a mechanism. Denote the upper boundary of \\(L\\left( z_{i},u_{i}\\right) \\) by \\(\\partial L\\left( z_{i},u_{i}\\right) \\equiv \\left\\{ z_{i}^{\\prime }\\in L\\left( z_{i},u_{i}\\right) \\mid u_{i}\\left( z_{i}^{\\prime }\\right) =u_{i}\\left( z_{i}\\right) \\right\\} \\). For the sake of simplifying notations, given \\( \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\in {\\mathcal {E}}\\) and \\(\\left( z_{j}^{\\circ },\\left( {\\varvec{x}}_{-j}, {\\varvec{y}}_{-j}\\right) \\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}, \\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\), we will sometimes use \\(L\\left( z_{j}^{\\circ },u_{j};\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\) instead of the precise statement \\(L\\left( \\left( z_{j}^{\\circ },\\left( {\\varvec{x}}_{-j}, {\\varvec{y}}_{-j}\\right) \\right) ,u_{i};\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\) in the following discussion. We define a canonical mechanism \\( \\gamma ^{*}=\\left( A^{*},g^{*}\\right) \\in \\Gamma _{C}^{*}\\) with \\(A_{i}^{*}\\equiv \\)\\(M_{i}\\times \\left[ 0,{\\bar{x}}\\right] \\), where \\( M_{i}\\equiv {\\mathcal {U}}^{n}\\times {\\mathcal {S}}\\times Z\\) with generic element \\( \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{i},\\sigma _{i},z_{i}\\right) \\), for each \\(i\\in N\\) , as follows:\nFor each \\({\\varvec{a}}=\\left( \\left( {\\varvec{u}} ^{i}\\right) _{i\\in N},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{z}}, \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}\\right) \\equiv \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{i},\\sigma _{i},z_{i}, {\\widehat{x}}_{i}\\right) _{i\\in N}\\in \\times _{i\\in N}\\left( M_{i}\\times \\left[ 0,{\\bar{x}}\\right] \\right) \\) and for each output \\(w=w\\left( {\\varvec{s}}, \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}\\right) \\in \\mathbb {R}_{+}\\),\nRule 1: if \\(f\\left( \\sum \\sigma _{k}{\\widehat{x}} _{k}\\right) =w\\), and\n1\u20131: there exists \\({\\varvec{u}}\\in {\\mathcal {U}} ^{n} \\) such that \\({\\varvec{u}}^{i}={\\varvec{u}}\\) for each \\( i\\in N\\), and \\(\\sum y_{k}\\le w\\) and\n1\u20131-a): if \\(\\left( \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}} }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\), then \\(g^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}} ;w\\right) =\\left( \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\),\n1\u20131-b): if \\(\\left( \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}} }\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\notin \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\), then \\(g^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}} ;w\\right) =\\left( \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}},{\\mathbf {0}}\\right) \\),\n1\u20132: there exists \\(j\\in N\\) such that \\({\\varvec{u}} ^{i}={\\varvec{u}}\\ne {\\varvec{u}}^{j}\\) for each \\(i\\ne j\\), \\( \\left( \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\notin \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{j},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\), and\n1\u20132-a): if \\(j\\in N\\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{ \\sigma }\\mathbf {,}\\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}\\mathbf {,} {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\), then \\(g_{i}^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}};w\\right) =\\left( {\\widehat{x}}_{i},0\\right) \\) for each \\(i\\ne j\\), and \\(g_{j}^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}};w\\right) =\\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll} \\left( {\\widehat{x}}_{j},\\min \\left\\{ y_{j}^{\\prime \\prime },w\\right\\} \\right) &{} \\text {if }y_{j}>f\\left( \\sum \\sigma _{k}{\\bar{x}}\\right) \\\\ \\left( {\\widehat{x}}_{j},0\\right) &{} \\text {otherwise,} \\end{array} \\right. \\)\nwhere \\(y_{j}^{\\prime \\prime }\\) is given by19\n\\({\\left( {\\widehat{x}}_{j},y_{j}^{\\prime \\prime }\\right) \\in \\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll} \\partial \\left[ L\\left( z_{j}^{\\circ },u_{j};\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\cup B\\left( \\Delta ^{P}\\left( \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{ \\sigma }\\right) ,\\left( z_{j}^{\\circ },\\left( \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}} _{-j},{\\varvec{y}}_{-j}\\right) \\right) \\right) ,\\sigma _{j},z_{j}^{\\circ }\\right) \\right] &{} \\text {if }{\\widehat{x}}_{j}>0 \\\\ \\left\\{ \\left( 0,y_{j}^{\\mu ^{{}}}-p_{\\alpha ^{{}}}\\left( x_{j}^{\\mu ^{{}}}; \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}_{-j},\\left( \\sigma _{j}^{\\mu ^{{}}},\\varvec{\\sigma }_{-j}\\right) \\right) x_{j}^{\\mu ^{{}}}\\right) \\right\\} &{} \\text {otherwise,} \\end{array} \\right. }\\)\nfor \\(z_{j}^{\\circ }=(x_{j}^{\\circ },y_{j}^{\\circ })\\) with \\(\\left( \\left( x_{j}^{\\circ },\\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}_{-j}\\right) ,\\left( y_{j}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{y}}_{-j}\\right) \\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\),\n1\u20132-b): if \\(j\\notin N\\left( {\\varvec{u}}, \\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,}\\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}\\mathbf {,} {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\) and there exists \\((x_{j}^{\\circ },y_{j}^{\\circ })\\in Z\\) such that\n\\(\\left( \\left( x_{j}^{\\circ },\\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}} _{-j}\\right) ,\\left( y_{j}^{\\circ },{\\varvec{y}}_{-j}\\right) \\right) \\in P\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{j},\\varvec{ \\sigma }\\right) \\), then \\(g_{i}^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}};w\\right) =\\left( {\\widehat{x}}_{i},0\\right) \\) for each \\(i\\ne j\\), and\n\\(g_{j}^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}};w\\right) =\\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll} \\left( {\\widehat{x}}_{j},w\\right) &{} \\text {if }{\\widehat{x}}_{j}>0\\text { and } y_{j}>w \\\\ \\left( {\\widehat{x}}_{j},0\\right) &{} \\text {otherwise,} \\end{array} \\right. \\)\n1\u20133: in any other case, \\(g^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}} ;w\\right) =\\left( {\\varvec{x}},d^{{\\varvec{y}}}\\left( \\varvec{ \\sigma }\\mathbf {,}\\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}},w\\right) \\right) \\),\nRule 2: if \\(f\\left( \\sum \\sigma _{k}{\\widehat{x}} _{k}\\right) \\ne w\\), then \\(g^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}};w\\right) =\\left( {\\varvec{x}},d^{\\varvec{\\sigma }}\\left( \\varvec{\\sigma }\\mathbf {,} \\widehat{{\\varvec{x}}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}},w\\right) \\right) \\).\nLet Assumption 1hold and \\( n\\ge 3\\).

Then, there exists \\(j\\in N\\backslash N^{0}\\left( {\\varvec{x}}\\right) \\) such that \\(\\sum _{i\\in N\\backslash \\left( N^{0}\\left( {\\varvec{x}}\\right) \\cup \\left\\{ j\\right\\} \\right) }\\sigma _{i}x_{i}\\ne \\sum _{i\\in N\\backslash \\left( N^{0}\\left( {\\varvec{x}}\\right) \\cup \\left\\{ j\\right\\} \\right) }s_{i}x_{i}\\). Thus, j can switch to \\(a_{j}^{\\prime }\\) such that \\( g_{j2}^{*}\\left( a_{j}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{a}}_{-j}\\right) >0\\) under Rule 2. This can be shown in a similar way to the case of \\(N^{0}\\left( {\\varvec{x}}\\right) =\\varnothing \\).\nSuppose that \\({\\varvec{a}}\\) induces Rules 1\u20132 or 1\u20133. Then, there exists \\( j\\in N\\) such that \\(g_{j2}^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}}\\right) =0\\). From Lemma A1, \\(\\sigma _{j}=s_{j}\\) or \\(x_{j}=0\\). Suppose \\({\\varvec{a}}\\) induces Rule 1-2. Then, \\(g_{j2}^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}}\\right) =0\\) implies that \\(y_{j}\\le f\\left( \\sum \\sigma _{k}{\\overline{x}}\\right) \\). Then, j can either deviate to Rule 1-3 with \\(\\sigma _{j}^{\\prime }=s_{j}\\), \\( x_{j}^{\\prime }=\\pi \\left( {\\varvec{x}}_{-j}\\right) <{\\overline{x}}\\), and \\(y_{j}^{\\prime }=0\\) or get \\( g_{j2}^{*}\\left( a_{j}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{a}}_{-j}\\right) >0\\) under Rule 1\u20132 by \\(y_{j}^{\\prime }>f\\left( \\sum _{i\\ne j}\\sigma _{i}{\\bar{x}}+\\sigma _{j}^{\\prime }{\\bar{x}}\\right) \\). Suppose \\({\\varvec{a}}\\) induces Rule 1\u20133. Then, there exists \\(a_{j}^{\\prime }\\) such that \\(g_{j2}^{*}\\left( a_{j}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{a}}_{-j}\\right) >0\\) under Rule 1\u20133. In summary, \\( {\\varvec{a}}\\) induces neither Rule 1\u20132 nor Rule 1\u20133.\nSuppose that \\({\\varvec{a}}\\) induces Rule 1\u20131-b. Then, \\(g^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}}\\right) =\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\mathbf {0}}\\right) \\). Then, some \\(j\\in N\\) can deviate to induce Rule 1\u20132, so that \\(g_{j2}^{*}\\left( a_{j}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{a}}_{-j}\\right) >0\\), which is a contradiction.\nThus, \\({\\varvec{a}}\\) induces Rule 1\u20131-a, and \\(g^{*}\\left( \\varvec{a }\\right) =\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\). From the definition of Rule 1\u20131-a, \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}} \\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\) where \\({\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }={\\varvec{v}}^{i}\\) for all \\(i\\in N\\). Since \\({\\varvec{a}}\\in NE\\left( \\gamma ^{*}, {\\varvec{e}}\\right) \\), \\(\\sigma _{i}=s_{i}\\) holds for any \\(i\\in N\\) with \\(x_{i}>0\\) according to Lemma A1. Assume, without loss of generality, that there exists at most one unique individual j such that \\(x_{j}=0\\). Let us consider the following two cases:\nCase 1: Let \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in P\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{s}} \\right) \\). Then, we can show that \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\). Suppose that \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\notin \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}} ^{\\prime },{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\). Then, for the individual \\(j\\in N\\) with \\(x_{j}=0\\), \\(\\sigma _{j}\\ne s_{j}\\). Then, if this j takes the strategy \\(a_{j}^{\\prime }=\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{j},s_{j},z_{j}^{ \\prime },x_{j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\) with \\({\\varvec{u}}^{j}\\ne {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }\\), \\(x_{j}^{\\prime }>0\\), and \\(y_{j}^{\\prime }>f\\left( \\sum s_{k}{\\overline{x}}\\right) \\), then Rule 1\u20132-b can be applied. This is because NUS implies \\(j\\notin N\\left( {\\varvec{u}} ^{\\prime },{\\varvec{s}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\) by \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in P\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{s}} \\right) \\backslash \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\) and \\(x_{j}=0\\). Then, if \\(x_{j}^{\\prime }>0\\) is sufficiently small, \\(u_{j}\\left( g_{j}^{*}\\left( a_{j}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{a}}_{-j}\\right) \\right) =u_{j}\\left( x_{j}^{\\prime },f\\left( \\sum _{i\\ne j}s_{i}x_{i}+s_{j}x_{j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\right) >u_{j}\\left( 0,y_{j}\\right) =u_{j}\\left( g_{j}^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}}\\right) \\right) \\) holds by the fact that \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\) is an interior allocation, since \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\). This implies \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\notin NA\\left( \\gamma ^{*},\\left( {\\varvec{u}},{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\right) \\), which is a contradiction. Thus, \\( \\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\). Note that \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in NA\\left( \\gamma ^{*},\\left( {\\varvec{u}},{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\right) \\) implies that \\(\\partial L\\left( \\left( x_{i},y_{i}\\right) ,u_{i}^{\\prime };{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\subseteq L\\left( \\left( x_{i},y_{i}\\right) ,u_{i}\\right) \\cap Z_{i}\\left( {\\varvec{s}}, {\\varvec{z}}_{-i}\\right) \\) for each \\(i\\in N\\) by Rule 1\u20132-a. Thus, \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}},{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\) by M.\nCase 2: Let \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\notin P\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\). Since \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}} \\right) \\in P\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\) , \\(\\sigma _{j}<s_{j}\\) holds for the agent \\(j\\in N\\) with \\(x_{j}=0\\). In this case, either \\(j\\in N\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\) or not.\nFirst, suppose that \\(j\\notin N\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\). Take \\({\\varvec{u}} ^{j}=\\left( u_{j}^{\\prime \\prime },{\\varvec{u}}_{-j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\) such that\n$$\\begin{aligned} \\partial \\left[ L\\left( \\left( x_{j},y_{j}\\right) ,u_{j}^{\\prime }; {\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\cup \\left( \\cup _{p\\in \\Delta ^{P}\\left( \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) ,\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\right) }B\\left( p,s_{j},\\left( x_{j},y_{j}\\right) \\right) \\right) \\right] \\subseteq L\\left( \\left( x_{j},y_{j}\\right) ,u_{j}^{\\prime \\prime }\\right) . \\end{aligned}$$\nThen, \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in P\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{j},{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\) holds. Then, by \\(a_{j}^{\\prime }=\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{j},s_{j},z_{j}^{*},x_{j}^{*}\\right) \\) with \\(x_{j}^{*}>0\\) and \\(y_{j}^{*}>f\\left( \\sum s_{k}{\\overline{x}}\\right) \\), j can induce Rule 1\u20132-b, and get \\(g_{j2}^{*}\\left( a_{j}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{a}} _{-j}\\right) =f\\left( \\sum _{i\\ne j}s_{i}x_{i}+s_{j}x_{j}^{*}\\right) \\). Thus, if \\(x_{j}^{*}>0\\) is sufficiently small, \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\notin NA\\left( \\gamma ^{**},\\left( {\\varvec{u}},{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\right) \\), which is a contradiction. Thus, \\(j\\notin N\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\) does not hold.\nSecond, let \\(j\\in N\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{s}} \\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{x}}\\mathbf {,}{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\). Since \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\notin P\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\), there exists \\(z_{j}^{\\prime }\\equiv \\left( x_{j}^{\\prime },y_{j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\gg {\\mathbf {0}}\\) such that \\(\\left( z_{j}^{\\prime },\\left( {\\varvec{x}}_{-j},{\\varvec{y}}_{-j}\\right) \\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\). In this case, \\(y_{j}^{\\prime }\\ge y_{j}+\\frac{p_{x}}{p_{y}} s_{j}x_{j}^{\\prime }\\) holds for \\(p\\equiv \\left( p_{x},p_{y}\\right) \\in \\Delta ^{P}\\left( \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{s}}\\right) ,\\left( z_{j}^{\\prime },\\left( {\\varvec{x}}_{-j}, {\\varvec{y}}_{-j}\\right) \\right) \\right) \\), since \\(z_{j},z_{j}^{\\prime }\\in \\left\\{ \\left( x,y\\right) \\in Z\\mid y=f(\\sum _{i\\ne j}s_{i}x_{i}+s_{j}x)-\\sum _{i\\ne j}y_{i}\\right\\} \\) and f is concave. Moreover, since \\(z_{j}^{\\prime }\\notin L\\left( \\left( x_{j},y_{j}\\right) ,u_{j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\) and \\( z_{j}^{\\prime }\\in B\\left( p,s_{j},z_{j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\), \\(B\\left( p,s_{j},z_{j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\nsubseteq L\\left( \\left( x_{j},y_{j}\\right) ,u_{j}^{\\prime };{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\) holds. Then, since \\({\\varvec{a}} \\in NE\\left( \\gamma ^{*},{\\varvec{e}}\\right) \\), (i) \\(\\partial \\left[ L\\left( \\left( x_{j},y_{j}\\right) ,u_{j}^{\\prime };{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\cup \\right. \\left. B\\left( p,s_{j},z_{j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\right] \\subseteq L\\left( \\left( x_{j},y_{j}\\right) ,u_{j}\\right) \\) and (ii) \\(y_{j}^{\\prime }=y_{j}+\\frac{p_{x}}{p_{y}}s_{j}x_{j}^{\\prime }\\) hold. Indeed, if (i) does not hold, then j can induce Rule 1\u20132-a by suitably choosing \\(a_{j}^{\\prime }=\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{j},s_{j},z_{j}^{*},x_{j}^{*}\\right) \\) with \\({\\varvec{u}}^{j}\\ne {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime }\\), \\(x_{j}^{*}>0\\), and \\(y_{j}^{*}>f\\left( \\sum s_{k} {\\overline{x}}\\right) \\), so that \\(g_{j2}^{*}\\left( a_{j}^{\\prime }, {\\varvec{a}}_{-j}\\right) \\ge y_{j}+\\frac{p_{x}}{p_{y}}s_{j}x_{j}^{*}\\) and \\(g_{j}^{*}\\left( a_{j}^{\\prime },{\\varvec{a}}_{-j}\\right) \\notin L\\left( \\left( x_{j},y_{j}\\right) ,u_{j}\\right) \\), which is a contradiction from \\({\\varvec{a}}\\in NE\\left( \\gamma ^{**},{\\varvec{e}}\\right) \\). The same argument also follows if (ii) does not hold.\nConsider \\({\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime \\prime }\\equiv \\left( u_{j}, {\\varvec{u}}_{-j}^{\\prime }\\right) \\). Note that by M, \\( \\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime \\prime },\\varvec{\\sigma }\\right) \\). Then, by Rule 1\u20131-a, for \\({\\varvec{a}}^{\\prime \\prime }=\\left( \\left( { {\\varvec{v}}}^{\\prime \\prime i}\\right) _{i\\in N},\\varvec{\\sigma } ,{\\varvec{z}},{\\varvec{x}}\\right) \\) with \\( {\\varvec{v}}\\)\\(^{\\prime \\prime i}={\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime \\prime }\\) (\\(\\forall i\\in N\\)), \\(g^{*}\\left( {\\varvec{a}}^{\\prime \\prime }\\right) =\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\) and \\( {\\varvec{a}}^{\\prime \\prime }\\in NE\\left( \\gamma ^{*}, {\\varvec{e}}\\right) \\) hold. Suppose \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}} \\right) \\notin \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime \\prime }, {\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\). Then, since \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in P\\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime \\prime },{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\), j can induce Rule 1\u20132-b by the same reasoning as in Case 1, so that \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\notin NA\\left( \\gamma ^{*}, {\\varvec{e}}\\right) \\), which is a contradiction. Thus, \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{u}}^{\\prime \\prime },{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\). Then, \\({\\varvec{a}} ^{\\prime \\prime }\\in NE\\left( \\gamma ^{*},{\\varvec{e}}\\right) \\) and \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}},{\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in NA\\left( \\gamma ^{*},{\\varvec{e}}\\right) \\) imply that \\(\\partial L\\left( \\left( x_{i},y_{i}\\right) ,u_{i}^{\\prime };{\\varvec{s}}\\right) \\subseteq L\\left( \\left( x_{i},y_{i}\\right) ,u_{i}\\right) \\) holds for each \\(i\\in N\\backslash \\left\\{ j\\right\\} \\) by Rule 1\u20132-a. Thus, \\(\\left( {\\varvec{x}}, {\\varvec{y}}\\right) \\in \\varphi \\left( {\\varvec{e}}\\right) \\) by M. \\(\\square \\)\nProof of Theorem 2.

        "raw_content": "Location: Jenny Knob Shelter (601.8 miles)\nTags: Appalachian Trail, Jefferson National Forest, trail magic, Virginia\nRain is the worst part of tenting. I was hoping the 40% chance of \"scattered thunderstorms\" would pass us by, but alas, they did not. Around midnight or 1 am, a thunderstorm with long, rolling thunder passed by, and in the morning, it just rained.\nI had intended to leave camp at 7, but wound up not even getting out of my tent until more like 7:15, after the rain finally stopped, and didn't leave until almost 8:30. Packing up the tent is still not a quick activity for me, and the rain only complicated the process. The rain fly and ground tarp were soaking wet, and needed to be packed into the same bag as the tent body, which was wet on the bottom, but still dry on the inside. Ideally, this would happen without making anything wetter than it already was, especially since I expected to use the tent again tonight.\nLeaving late made it harder to get to the intended goal, Trent's Grocery, almost 26 miles away from where I started, before they closed, but I started the day off giving it my best shot, with an average of 3.4 mph the first two hours of the day, when I stopped for trail magic.\nShortly before the I-77 overpass, in front of a church (because they were across the street yesterday and got sunburned) were AT thru-hike veterans, Eric \"Danno\" (2013), and Richard \"Comfortably Numb\" (four times; first in 1989, most recently in 2014), and Eric's wife Sarah. When I was there, they were offering soda (coke and a peach soda), Powerade, bananas, hard-boiled eggs, and shuttles into Bland, VA.\nI was half-tempted to take the shuttle into town for Subway and/or Dairy Queen, but with a schedule I wanted to keep, I passed on the offer. (My waistline does not approve.) I tried a peach soda. It \u2026 tasted like peaches.\nAbout six miles later, just as I was sitting down for a snack, I got a message from Beast, who had taken a shuttle into Bland. I'm unclear exactly why; I'll get the full story when we meet up in Pearisburg on Friday. He's also trying to coordinate some sort of slackpacking with his sister and her boyfriend, who will be in town this weekend.\nWhile I was eating my snack, Beast also did me the favor of calling the Woods Hole hostel to check out a rumor I had heard, that they'd be closed during Trail Days (this weekend, in Damascus). Turns out they're not (but might not be serving meals on Saturday since the owner is attending Trail Days). He also took the liberty of reserving a room for me, since they appeared to be going quickly. So, that's definitely my destination for tomorrow, now.\nAfter reentering the woods after the interstate, the next 11 miles or so of the trail were relatively featureless, and there was very little in the way of anything at all. Views, road crossings, and water were all pretty rare this afternoon.\nI made it to the Jenny Knob Shelter, 18.8 miles ahead of where I started, around 3:30. After stopping for a snack and water, it was closer to 4. This made making it the rest of the way to Trent's (another 7.5 miles or so) with enough time while they were still open unlikely, and not wanting to tent again in the rain, elected to stay here.\nFortunately, there was enough sun through the tree cover that I could dry out my tent, which was a lot easier with very few people here, since I could take up a lot of space.\nUntil 7 pm or so, there were only three of us here (me, and a married couple of section-hikers), when more people slowly started trickling in. Everyone else is tenting though. It wasn't until shortly before 9 pm when someone else showed up to use the shelter (so, I only have half a shelter to myself; it's still more than enough).\nIt started to rain about ten minutes ago (and now, it's pouring). I'm so glad I'm in the shelter, rather than tenting. I may just get out of here early tomorrow.\nTomorrow: 22.2 miles to Woods Hole hostel. Have to make it there, because there's nothing else between the next shelter and there.\n\u00ab (Laurel Creek Campsites) Previous Entry\nNext Entry (Sugar Run Gap / Woods Hole Hostel) \u00bb\nAT 2016: Chestnut Knob Shelter - Laurel Creek Campsites",

        "raw_content": "A Prophetic Perspective on \u201cThe Incredible Hulk\u201d\nI recently say down and watched The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton and Liv Tyler (released June 13, 2008, distributed by Universal Studios). In this movie I observed some definite parallels between the experience of the main character and our experience as God\u2019s people.\nThe story of The Incredible Hulk centers around Dr. Bruce Banner. Dr. Banner is a brilliant scientist who, as the result of a gamma ray experiment gone terribly wrong, turns into a giant, raging, green-skinned creature whenever his pulse rate goes too high. He especially has to avoid becoming angry. Rampant destruction ensues if ever the monster is let loose. Because no lasting cure can be found, Dr. Banner has to try and keep his emotions under control. Unfortunately, it is impossible to stay in control at all times. Therefore Bruce lives in constant fear of not being able to keep the monster contained.\nLike Bruce Banner, we too have a monster lurking within. The Bible calls this monster the flesh. The flesh is that unredeemed part of us that is comprised of all our innate appetites that are tainted by sin and fuelled by the thoughts and values impressed upon us by the world around us. While it may not be as big and powerful as the Hulk, things get ugly whenever this monster is let loose in our lives. The apostle Paul provides us with a graphic description in Galatians 5:19 \u2013 21 of what the flesh looks like in action.\nNow the 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. ESV\nLike I said, not pretty.\nNotice, too, that Paul says those who practice the works of the flesh will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Because the frame of reference for the flesh is completely selfish, it is completely hostile to God and acts completely contrary to the nature of God (see Romans 8:6 \u2013 7). Whenever we allow the flesh to dominate our lives, we can be sure that corruption and destruction, on some level, will be the results.\nThere was no cure for Bruce Banner\u2019s infection caused by the gamma ray. That is where our stories differ. There is a sure fire answer to our dilemma. Paul provides it for us in Galatians 5:16.\nBut I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. ESV\nIf we will live our lives under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we positively will not manifest the monster within. By living in submission to God\u2019s Spirit, our lives will produce fruit in complete harmony with the nature of God. Look at what Paul says in Galatians 5:22 \u2013 23.\nBut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. ESV\nOne day, at the coming of the Lord Jesus, our bodies will be completely transformed (Philippians 3:20 \u2013 21). On that day the flesh will be completely done away with. In the mean time, we don\u2019t have to fear the monster within. The Lord has already provided us with the cure. The conquest of the flesh monster comes from living in the Reign.\nBruce Banner, Edward Norton, Flesh, Fruit of the Spirit, Holy Spirit, Hulk, Incredible Hulk, Kingdom of God, Liv Tyler, the Flesh, The Incredible Hulk, works of the flesh\nOne thought on \u201cA Prophetic Perspective on \u201cThe Incredible Hulk\u201d\u201d\nCheck out this insightful post from a fellow local Manitoba pastor and friend of mine, Mac Dumcum\u2026",

They had 3,000-plus to show up. Even though you may have had a time that you were supposed to be there, it did go over (beyond the scheduled audition time).\n\"They took us in groups of 50 into different rooms, and that's where you did your audition. They had everything from ventriloquists, musicians, Elvis impersonators, drag queens, children who were playing Bluegrass music. They were playing dobros. I was just amazed. Kane was a big wrestler, and he (who is now the Knoxville mayor, Glen Jacobs) came out and introduced himself and welcomed everybody to Knoxville. He thanked everybody for coming. They locked the doors at 7 o'clock that night and didn't let anybody else. They let 3,258 in.\"\nIt turned into a waiting game for most of the individuals auditioning.\n\"My audition was (scheduled) at 1,\" Vannasdale said. \"They had six different audition rooms. I was finally in an audition room at about 10 minutes until 6. They locked the doors at 7 o'clock. That was the entrance doors to the convention center. They were still going strong at 11 o'clock on Thursday night with their auditions.\n\"It was an amazing experience.\"\nThe 52-year-old Lafayette resident sang Luke Bryan's song, \"Drink a Beer.\"\n\"I figure that there's a lot of people who could relate to that,\" Vannasdale said. \"I was so nervous. When I first went in, I couldn't even write. I had to get my sister (Latini Smith) to fill out my paperwork. By the time I got in there (to audition), I wasn't nervous anymore. It was an experience that I was blessed to be able to experience.\"\nVannasdale had a personal connection to the message in the song.\n\"I lost my mom in December of 2016,\" Vannasdale said. \"We called hospice in. We were all standing outside looking at each other, and I just busted out singing Luke Bryan's 'Drink a Beer.'\n\"It's kind of comforting. It's about getting a phone call. They're letting you know somebody has passed. You can't even bring yourself to say anything. You hang the phone up and start walking and end up in a pier \u2026 they would sit on the pier and drink a beer. It goes on to say that you're not supposed to question God. The good ones go on. So many (people) can relate to it. It seems like a good song.\"\nVannasdale had to perform acapella.\n\"They did not want anybody playing music unless you were doing a dance,\" Vannasdale said. \"They wanted to be able to hear your voice and see if you could carry a tune. So, it was done acapella.\n\"As they would get up and do their thing \u2026 there was a gentleman sitting beside of me, and he was with his 14-year-old daughter. Every time somebody would get up, he would say, 'They're awful.' My number was finally called about 6:35. When I did my audition, he was standing up and applauding. He was asking my name. It made me feel good. I was expecting to get the same thing, but he was giving me a standing ovation. It made me feel real good.\"\nIn addition to the positive feedback from the nearby supporter, Vannasdale felt good about the quality of her performance.\n\"You were in a room maybe half the size of Macon County's gymnasium (at the high school),\" Vannasdale said. \"You have to walk right up in the center. That's where you have to do your song or your act. When everybody got up there, you were straining to hear them. I tell everybody that I don't need a microphone (due to having a strong voice).\n\"I felt good about it. Everything seemed to fall in place right there at the last minute.\"\nVannasdale was actually contacted after the audition.\n\"I did get a text message on my way home that they did make a short video,\" Vannasdale said. \"I'm assuming it's going to air when the show comes out in April of 2019. Out of 60 auditions, I was one of them who is on this clip. I'm assuming they will show it when the show airs, but I don't know.\"\nHowever, she doesn't expect to know whether she advanced or not until February.\n\"'America's Got Talent' is on tour across the United States right now, going to other big cities and taking auditions,\" Vannasdale said. \"They will wrap up the third week in January. They will be notifying everybody by e-mail or telephone sometime around the first week of February.\n\"If you make it, you don't have to worry about the transportation or the music. They will make sure you have everything you need to go on stage in front of the judges and in front of America. Once that starts, there will be between 30 and 50 who will make the first round. On the first or second night that it airs, they'll start weeding them out.\"\nDespite that time frame, Vannasdale hasn't been able to control her emotions in hopes of receiving word regarding her status earlier than the expected time frame.\n\"I'm very anxious,\" Vannasdale said. \"I actually check my e-mail every day, several times a day, even before I go to bed. So far, I've not seen it. Since they said it will be the first two weeks of February, that's probably when it will be.\n\"I'm nervous \u2026 excited. It's kind of hard to sleep. You hear the phone ring, and you think, 'Who is it? Oh, it's just family.'\"\nIn addition to her sister, Vannasdale's daughters - Danielle Bush and Heather Reid - and her grandson - Kamden Reid - accompanied her to Knoxville.\n\"The words alone can't do it justice,\" Vannasdale said. \"It was so amazing \u2026 exciting. I had my own make-up artist. I've never had that before. The news people were walking around talking to anybody and everybody. Everybody was really friendly. Everybody that was there to audition was like me, nervous as a cat on a tin roof. It really was \u2026 it was amazing. It was like a big party.\n\"Being backstage at the (Grand Ole) Opry as a child was a blessing, but getting to meet and see so many different people \u2026 just to hear them sing or tell their story \u2026 I don't know even know how to describe it. It was a blessing. It was an amazing journey. Thank God I was there and didn't miss it.\"",

        "raw_content": "August 8, 2013 \u00b7 by makiah-isms\t\u00b7 in #MyPWI.\t\u00b7\nIn case you haven\u2019t seen enough appalling news about the wrongful arrests and murders of unarmed Black men, this is Brandon\u2019s story:\nOn the evening of Monday, August 5, 2013 at 8:30pm, I left rehearsal for an upcoming production of Romeo & Juliet with the Downtown Repertory Theatre Company. I arrived at the 7th St. Metro Center Station at 8:41pm to take the Blue Line train to Wilmington Station. The train left at 8:45pm, the trip was 24 minutes in total and I arrived at Wilmington Station at 9:09pm. The Green Line train arrived at 9:21pm and I arrived at the Avalon Station at 9:23pm. Due to the slow run of buses that occur after 9pm, I decided to walk home from Avalon Station to Avalon/127th St. While walking, I listened to music on my iPhone to remain focused and occupied. As I got to the corner of Avalon/127th at 9:33pm, I noticed a police car turning from the intersection. Thinking I was safe and protected in light of a series of sketchy activity within the area for the past few weeks, I proceeded to walk home.\nFour houses down from my grandmother\u2019s house, I saw a car slowly approaching behind me. Not knowing who was inside the vehicle, I mimicked tying my shoes out of fear that I could be harmed. I didn\u2019t have any form of protection and only had my instincts to rely on. After a few seconds I proceeded to walk a little faster\u2014running would have made me look suspicious and made this situation worse\u2014and it was then that I realized that the car approaching me was the police car I had noticed earlier (9:33pm). Two officers (one Filipino male and one Hispanic female) stopped and told me to put my hands on the car and frisk me for evidence. With all of my belongings on the car (a USC messenger bag with my play script, book, and a silver canteen of water) they asked me to take off my shoes and sit inside the car. They questioned me about where I was coming from and my response was: \u201cI was coming home from rehearsal in Downtown LA.\u201d The male officer proceeded to search the area and talked to one of my neighbors. My neighbor was asked whether or not he recognized me.\nAfterwards, they take me to the Burger King parking lot on Avalon/El Segundo, where two other deputies questioned me. The first officer asked whether I had been arrested before and said that the deputies found a cell phone in my bag. Confused, I told him, I do not recognize the phone and that it was never in my bag. PERIOD. I don\u2019t know why or how this accusation came about, but it definitely frustrated me. I knew that they were playing mind games with me, as they are trained to do so. The second officer asked the same question and said, \u201cWe can either make this easy or hard.\u201d He proceeded to ask why I took the phone and I claimed that I had no contact with the phone whatsoever. He then said, \u201cWe are going to take you in for robbery and kidnapping.\u201d My heart dropped, but I still maintained an attitude of peace because I knew it was an outrageous charge, and they knew that I wasn\u2019t the culprit. I didn\u2019t fit the demo at all. I began to explain to him that I was a recent USC grad and that I would never do anything to disrespect and dishonor my family in this fashion. The deputy\u2019s response: \u201cI don\u2019t care\u2026it doesn\u2019t matter to me.\u201d\nI was handcuffed and taken back to my house where the deputy took my bag to my grandmother for recognition. The officer asked whether she recognized the bag and gave my name. She said, \u201cyes,\u201d then asked what happened. The officer responded, \u201cHe\u2019s in big trouble.\u201d She also asked where they were taking me and why. His response was: \u201cI\u2019m not allowed to give you that information.\u201d He leaves the bag with my grandmother and I am taken to the Century Regional Detention Center, where I was detained for two nights.\nOn Tuesday afternoon, August 6th, I spoke with a detective who questioned and wanted further clarification on my activity on Monday night. I reinstated my story with the claim that I was simply coming home from rehearsal in Downtown LA. I have no knowledge of a robbery, nor did I come into any physical contact with a phone, bandanna, and cash found near the area I was arrested. Simply put, they had the wrong person! I finished my claim once again with the fact that as a recent USC grad who wants to utilize my theatre degree and excel in life, I would never bring dishonor upon my family by committing such an act.\nOn Wednesday morning, August 7th, at around 9am, I was transferred to the Compton Courthouse for my supposed court date. I was in a holding cell from about 10am until 2:30pm without seeing a judge. At around that time, I was called for release along with 3 other guys. We were taken into another booking cell in which we were called for one by one by a deputy to sign paperwork and do fingerprints. At 3:28pm, I was released with my belongings \u2013 a wallet and shoestrings. My iPhone and shoes were still booked in evidence and I was given the County Jail\u2019s shoes since the night of my arrest. I had no paperwork or statements whatsoever confirming my release.\n\u2013 I was not read my rights upon arrest.\n\u2013 I was very oblivious to whatever incident occurred that evening.\n\u2013 Detained for 2 nights.\n\u2013 Did not see a judge.\n\u2013 I had a clean record.\n\u2013 Upon my release on Wednesday, August 7th at 3:28pm, I did not receive any paperwork for confirmation.\n\u2013 When my godsister researched my information Tuesday night (8/6) on lasd.org, the charge level stated at first was felony of robbery. When she checked again on Thursday, August 8th it was changed to felony.\n\u2013 Inmates are even saying that I don\u2019t fit the demo.\n\u2013 iPhone, messenger bag: script, book, canteen, pens and pencils; wallet\n\u2013 Black sneakers (Adidas), blue sweats, black graphic tee, purple sweater\nMisc/thoughts/feelings\n\u201cI felt very scared for you cause I know you didn\u2019t do anything wrong. I kept praying for you.\u201d\n\u201cBrandon, I\u2019m shocked. I don\u2019t know what to do.\u201d\n-Mom (during visitation on 8/6)\n\u201cThe overall experience just seemed cold. From the atmosphere to the behavior. I\u2019ve never been in jail before, but that experience served as an epiphany that the very thing you think could protect you, could instead be a threat.\u201d\n\u201cOn Tuesday, I decided to use this time to consecrate myself and believe God for release and breakthrough. I was reminded of the story of Paul and Silas in Acts. I figured, why not just pull out my weaponry, follow suit, and exercise my Kingdom rights.\u201d\nAlong about midnight, Paul and Silas were at prayer and singing a robust hymn to God. The other prisoners couldn\u2019t believe their ears. Then, without warning, a huge earthquake! The jailhouse tottered, every door flew open, all the prisoners were loose.\n\u2013 Acts 16:25-26 (The Message)\nTags: biased policing, Black males in America, Compton, injustice, LA Sheriff Department, racial profiling, wrongful arrest\n\u2190 Transparency Tuesday: I Hate Family Drama\nThe Man Behind The Urban Gospel Mission \u2192\n26 responses to \u201cWalking While Black: Brandon\u2019s Story\u201d\nSusan August 8, 2013 at 10:24 pm \u00b7 \u00b7 Reply \u2192\nI am sending this news story to every media person that I know.\nmakiah-isms August 8, 2013 at 10:25 pm \u00b7 \u00b7 Reply \u2192\nThank you!!!

Could this be explained further?\nAnonymous August 10, 2013 at 6:15 am \u00b7 \u00b7 Reply \u2192\nI agree\u2026you can\u2019t play the race card every time someone black gets in trouble with the law. while this perhaps demonstrates the lack of transparency existing in the ranks of LAPD, that doesn\u2019t mean its a racial issue\nYes. There is a lack of transparency.\nYes. LAPD is corrupt.\nHow is it related to race? Lets take a look at all of their targets. They are all people of color. It\u2019s no coincidence.\nChristian David Sutton August 10, 2013 at 10:15 pm \u00b7 \u00b7 Reply \u2192\nIm sorry that happened Brandon, Please contact me trough Makiah or on Facebook if you would like to talk.

He was on life support with renal failure, holes in his neck & back from tazer & hit repeatedly over the head. The (5) officers (non-of color). Beat an unarmed black man with autism.

Unfortunately, this is the reality for so many men of color in this country.

Someone who deals with constitutional law or civil rights law would be best suited to help you. This is completely unacceptable and you deserve justice.\nBrandon, you need to reread your blog carefully aloud. In one place, you say you don\u2019t have a cell phone. At the end, you do. I have no doubt this was horrible, humiliating, unspeakable, but if its something that is going to be passed along, there shouldn\u2019t be typos or misinformation. Good luck to you. I was at Downtown Rep last night and you have done such fine work.\nThe second phone that Brandon referred to didn\u2019t belong to him.\nAm confused.

        "title": "U.S. Trade Deficit in Manufactures Rose 4% in the First Quarter; Bilateral Trade Data for Manufactures Unavailable \u2014 MAPI Foundation",
        "raw_content": "As a result of a maintenance issue, the U.S. Department of Commerce has been unable to provide data for bilateral trade by sector and industry, so we cannot determine what has been happening bilaterally. For example, the bilateral deficit with Mexico for total merchandise trade was up 15% in the first quarter, but we don\u2019t know how much of this was manufactures or in which industries. The quarterly report of U.S. and Chinese trade in manufactures explains these developments, including the less than 5% decline in the Chinese trade surplus.\nU.S. First Quarter Trade in Manufactures\nU.S. global exports of manufactures in the first quarter were $255 billion, down 7% from 2015. Imports of $449 billion were down 3%, resulting in an increase of $7 billion, or 4%, in the trade deficit. This is a large drop from the 14% deficit increase for calendar 2015. Consequently, the trade-related loss of American manufacturing jobs in the first quarter was approximately 50,000. This puts us on track toward a total manufacturing job loss of 200,000 for calendar 2016, compared with 600,000 in 2015 and 400,000 in 2014.\nThe big question is whether the deficit growth will continue to decline this year as global GDP and trade languishes, including the decline in both U.S. exports and imports of manufactures. The course ahead, however, is highly uncertain because, as in past global GDP slowdowns, other major exporters have turned more mercantilist in their trade strategies to bolster lagging domestic growth through larger trade surpluses, with the United States often the principal \u201cimporter of last resort.\u201d For price-sensitive manufactures, this approach can focus on tightly managed and manipulated exchange rates even more than increased import barriers and export subsidies.\nIn any event, the MAPI Foundation second quarter report should be revealing and newsworthy in view of the trade-related loss of American manufacturing jobs as a major presidential campaign issue.\nBilateral Trade Data for Manufactures Unavailable\nBilateral trade data by sector and industry, including the manufacturing sector, have been unavailable for the past three months as a result of a maintenance issue faced by the Department of Commerce. The department notes that the data are \u201ccurrently unavailable due to maintenance . . . We are working to have this area back on line as quickly as possible.\u201d\nAs Commerce works to resolve the sector and industry data issue, bilateral trade data are available only for total merchandise trade, which accounts for about 75% of U.S. exports but a smaller share of imports that varies widely by trading partner. When the data are available, they will be highly relevant. For example, what is the impact of the five trading partners designated in the recent Department of Treasury currency manipulation watch list? For the first quarter of 2016, the U.S. deficit and the change from 2015 for total merchandise trade was:\nChina: $78 billion, down 5%\nJapan: $17 billion, down 1%\nGermany: $16 billion, down 7%\nSouth Korea: $8 billion, up 17%\nTaiwan: $3 billion, down 32%\nIt will be critical to determine how much of these deficits, particularly for the sharply higher deficit with South Korea, were manufactures, including the industries of import concentration. Also noteworthy is the manufactures share of the $15 billion deficit with Mexico, up 15% from 2015.\nLess Than 5% Decline in the Chinese Trade Surplus in Manufactures\nIn the first quarter, recorded Chinese exports of manufactures were $441 billion, down 10% from 2015. Imports were $231 billion, also down 10%, with a resulting decline of the trade surplus of $13 billion, or 6%. This recorded decline in the surplus, however, was significantly overstated, because of the substantial overvaluation of imports. A best estimate is that the decline in the Chinese surplus in manufactures was down by less than 5% in the first quarter.\nOfficial Chinese trade statistics have significantly understated the decline in imports of manufactures, and thus also understated the trade surplus. Chinese imports from Hong Kong, Shanghai, and other duty-free zones are greatly overvalued on import invoices to circumvent restrictions on the outflow of capital. For example, Chinese imports from Hong Kong in the first quarter of 2016, predominantly manufactures, were $3.8 billion, up 90% from $2.0 billion in 2015, while Chinese global imports of manufactures were down by 10%. Thus the estimate is that the global export surplus was down by less than 5%.\nThis is the short-term picture of U.S. and Chinese trade in manufactures in the first quarter of 2016, to the extent available statistics permit: substantially reduced growth in the U.S. deficit and a slight decline in the Chinese surplus. The big picture, however, remains of an extremely large decline in U.S. trade competitiveness in the dominant, technology-intensive manufacturing sector, particularly over the past six years. The U.S. trade deficit in manufactures more than doubled from $300 billion in 2009 to $650 billion in 2015, with a loss of 2.5 million American manufacturing jobs, or almost a quarter of the sectoral labor force, while the Chinese and EU trade surpluses also more than doubled, to over $1 trillion and $500 billion, respectively. A leveling off of these huge imbalances this year will not reduce the threat of bilateral currency and trade wars, as happened in similar circumstances during the 1930s. An alternative trade strategy to avoid such a bilateral protectionist path is clearly preferable.

        "raw_content": "Relativity Waltz is a board game that teaches about the basic concepts of the Theory of Relativity. The game mechanic uses cards representing segments of the electromagnetic spectrum to represent the Doppler shift that happens as players move around the board. Players draw a set number of cards each turn, and can move a number of spaces according to how many cards they have that fall in order upon the spectrum. As players move relative to each other, and to their starting & ending points, the pacing appears to speed up or slow down. The game includes 158 spectrum cards, each with educational information on the back, game board with the EM spectrum guide, and 3D printed playing pieces.\nAs an educational tool, the game teaches players about Einstein\u2019s Special Theory of Relativity. The mechanics of the game show how time (or rather, perception of time) changes based on speed and mass. A set of 'spectrum' cards facilitate the race around the board, and do so by visually showing how light perception is affected by a traveler\u2019s speed. Cards also 9 different fact sets on the backs of the cards: these explain the ideas that make up the theory of special relativity.\nGame design includes 3D printed game pieces, 158 square playing cards, game board mat, instruction booklet, and game box.\nRelativity Waltz 2",

Pointless combat is what we do best, buddy!\"\n\u2015Bobby Drake[src]\nBobby Drake, (better known as Iceman), was a powerful Mutant with the power of Cryokinesis. When Bobby was fifteen, he joined the X-Men after being saved by them, and is currently still a member.\nRobert Louis Drake was born in Long Island, New York on November 15, 1989 where he was raised until the age of 6, before relocating with his mother to Orlando, Florida to care for his ailing grandparents. When he was a young boy, his father left, leaving his mother to raise him by herself, because of this, Bobby spent many hours in the principal's office for his portrayal of the 'class clown'. When he was ten years old, he and his mother moved again this time to Floral Park, Long Island, New York, because of his mother's job and to visit her sister. As a way to release some of his built up creative energy, his mother enrolled him in acting class. Bobby first discovered his mutant abilities a few years later when he became unable to stop feeling cold and shivering. He was able to keep his discovery hidden to everyone but his mother, and was soon able to gain control over the feelings.\n\"Me? A mutant? You kiddin\u2019? I work in the kitchens here. Most nights I spit in their soup, just for the hell of it!\"\nIn in his freshmen year of high school, a school bully named Rocky Beasely convinced his gang of friends to attack Bobby and Judy Harmon (his girlfriend at the time). Bobby panicked and encased Rocky in ice, saving Judy but revealing his abilities to his peers. Bobby's newly revealed abilities were not accepted, and the people of his town, organized a lynch mob, believing Bobby to be dangerous. The mob broke into his household and overpowered them. The local police noticed that things were getting out of hand and took Bobby into custody for his own protection. The story made it's way to Professor Charles Xavier, who became interested in Bobby for his Mutant team called the X-Men.\nScott Summers was sent to recruit Bobby, and after Bobby turned him down, the two mutants got into a small scuffle. After they escaped, both of them were caught by the same mob. The mob was stringing Scott and Bobby up to be hanged when Professor X and the other X-Men Beast, Jean Grey and Storm and Angel where able to stop the mob and Professor X used his abilities to erase their memories. Grateful for saving his life and yearning to be like Scott, Bobby enrolled in Xavier Institute For Gifted Youngsters and joined the X-Men to become their seventh member.\nAs Iceman, Bobby became their youngest member, alongside Scott Summers, Hank McCoy, Ororo Munroe, Alex Summers, David Xavier, Jean Grey and Warren Worthington III. Bobby's lighthearted approach to disaster marked him as the comedian of the group, and eased tension among his teammates. Soon after Bobby joined, he and the X-Men recruited Peter Rasputin, Kurt Wagner, Anna Marie and Logan.\nBobby and Pete became best friends, however they both were attracted to the same girl, Kitty Pryde to whom they were both close too. For a long time, they both fought over her, and after dating both of them, Kitty ultimately chose Peter. At first Bobby was mad, but he eventually got over it, after they rescued and recruited a girl named Jubilation Lee, and she became Bobby's new main love interest. Eventually the two entered into a relationship, although it would become an on again off again romance.\nNot too long after, the X-Men joined forces with the Avengers to defeat the Brotherhood on Avalon, in which resulted in Magneto being put in prison. With Magneto's imprisonment, the Brotherhood was in disarray and the rest of them either escaped or were arrested.\nBobby on the last day before the new school year. (\"The New Kids In Town\")\nAfter Magneto was defeated, things returned to normal around the Mansion and Bobby helped recruit several new mutants over the summer of 2005 including Allison Crestmere, whom he briefly dated.\nBobby about to use his powers.\nCryokinesis: Iceman can use his mutant ability to control moisture such as to freeze any air moisture into super-hard ice. This ice can be formed into any object of his choosing: the only limitations are his own imagination, and the ambient air temperature which determines how long his ice sculpture will stay icy. He does not have to hold the ice physically with his hands in order to shape it. Apparently he can simply direct the waves of coldness he projects in certain ways so as to create ice in the shape he desires. In the past, the Iceman has formed ice-ladders, ice-slides, ice-shields, ice-bats and other constructs of ice. Iceman has created constructs of ice so powerful that he was able to easily encase and contain the likes of the Hulk with him being unable to break out of it. On at least one occasion, he has even been shown to make it snow or cause a blizzard.\nIceman was able to form a rising column of ice beneath his feet, capable of lifting him off the ground. The tensile strength of the column was determined by its thickness, and its steadiness by how well it has been braced. A well-braced and regular column, 6 feet in diameter at its base, is able to support his weight without toppling for about 85 feet in a 40-mile per hour wind. By forming long ice-ramps connected either to his ice-column or to an existing structure like a building or a bridge, Iceman was able to travel above the ground by sliding down the ramp he was creating. Unless he creates supports periodically, the ramp will crack beneath him, unable to support their combined weight. Iceman although has shown that he was not limited to creating constructs and can fly on his own with his control over moisture.\nIceman's control of his powers are so vast that it extends to the molecular level, to the point that he can freeze all of the molecules of an object/being with a thought. An example would be freezing blood in the veins, thereby stopping flow to the brain. He has demonstrated the ability to control chemical reactions on the molecular level, at one point preventing Sunfire from accessing his powers.\nBobby Drake.\n\"Now I'll do it my way, by myself!\"\nBobby Drake was often obnoxious, arrogant, and frustrating, but had a kind heart.\nRelationships: Robert Drake/Relationships\nFamily: Robert Drake/Family\nBobby was a fan of movies, including Harry Potter, Star Wars, Pirates Of The Caribbean and Lord Of The Rings.\nBobby was a fan of the TV shows Burn Notice, Psych and Modern Family.\nBobby's main downfall was his cockiness.\nBobby often butted heads with Remy and Alex.\nBobby looked up to Scott like a big brother.\nHad naturally curly hair.\nFavorite book was \"I Am Legend\".\nClaimed to be friends with Batman, Iron Man and Deadpool, though no one in the X-Men believed him.\nBobby Drake/Gallery\nBobby Drake/Quotes\nRetrieved from \"https://marveldcfanfiction.fandom.com/wiki/Robert_Drake_(Earth-One)?oldid=46168\"\nX-Men members (Earth-Two)",

        "raw_content": "What kind of support do breast cancer patients want? Food, rides and prayer\nby Tisha Felder, The Conversation\nThere are lots of ways to support a friend through breast cancer. Sharing the journey is key, studies suggest. Credit: Rawpixel.com/Shutterstock\nFor 31 days every October, pink ribbons and #BCAM hashtags flood our social media timelines with information about breast cancer. That's because key cancer and medical groups declared October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month over 30 years ago to raise awareness about the disease and to push for increased funding for research.\nBesides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the second-leading cause of cancer death among women (lung cancer is the first). According to the National Cancer Institute, about 3.4 million U.S. women were living with breast cancer in 2015.\nOnce diagnosed, women are faced with making decisions about different treatments. Do they need surgery, chemotherapy and radiation? And what about hormonal drug therapy, which sometimes must be taken as long as 10 years. These are not easy questions. Side effects from these treatments can range from hair loss, nerve damage and memory problems years after treatment. Given these challenges, supporting women during and after breast cancer treatment is vital.\nBut often, people do not know what to do help besides donning pink. We recently conducted a study to see what kind of support might best help women. We hope that results from our research may help give you some ideas.\nIn our study, we looked at how women experienced support during breast cancer treatment. We chose to focus on African-American women because they are more likely to die from breast cancer than all other women in the U.S. We analyzed interviews with African-American women with breast cancer who were previously enrolled in the \"placebo group\" of a NCI-funded intervention study entitled, \"STORY (Sisters Tell Others and Revive Yourself).\" In the interviews, we asked the women a range of questions such as \"what kind of support did you get from your doctor (and other providers) to help you get through treatment,\" to \"how did the support you received from others make a difference in your treatment decisions.\"\nOur results showed that women experienced support in three key ways. Sometimes the support women got met their needs, sometimes it was better than expected, and sometimes it wasn't. Women shared how they expected cancer care providers to provide them with informational support:\n\"I received a lot of information, printout information and stuff, and if I had any questions, I was given a number that I called. When I went to the hospital to have my port [for chemotherapy] put in and everything, they were real nice there. They sent me a lot of information and I had a person that if I had any questions she was right there for me. All I had to do was make a phone call and, anything I needed, she was right there.\" \u2013Lydia (pseudonym), age 52, 5 years post-diagnosis\nWomen also shared how their family supported them in more emotional ways, such as providing encouragement and being present, and tangible ways, such as cooking meals and house cleaning. Some also expressed how helpful it was that their clergy prayed for them and reminded them \"God was going to see me through.\"\nSecond, support exceeded womens' expectations when cancer care providers encouraged and showed emotional care for the women beyond simply providing treatment information:\n\"He [my doctor] said, 'you'll be fine'. The doctor that he referred me to actually\u2026treated his wife and, of course his wife passed away, but he said she lived a long time. She did very well up under him, and he ended up sending me to the same doctor. And, that kind of eased my mind\u2026because he shared his personal experience with me and that made a difference with my treatment.\" \u2013Eddie, age 56, 5 years post-diagnosis\nThird, women described situations where the support from others was unhelpful. This often happened when providers, family or friends were unaware of or failed to recognize that the survivor's needs may have changed:\n\"(Everyone was) trying to do too much \u2026 sometimes you just have to say 'back off, I'm okay'.\" \u2013Shelly Ann, age 64, 6 years post-diagnosis.\nSome women even shared that they did not tell the people in their lives that they needed some other form of support because they did not want to be a burden.\nSupport is crucial\nWhile our study focused on African-American women, results from an analysis of four large studies that included 9,267 women further confirms just how critical support is for women diagnosed with breast cancer. These larger studies showed that women who had limited support from family and friends after their breast cancer diagnosis, had higher risks of their breast cancers coming back, and some even had higher risks of death.\nWhat this means for women with breast cancer is that they should be made aware that assistance from others can have a positive impact on their disease. What this means for those who want to support breast cancer survivors is that family and friends should be open to giving different types of support, as suggested by the American Cancer Society and Komen Foundation, such as listening when they want to talk about how they feel, or driving them to a doctor's appointment.\nFamily and friends should also be aware that survivors' support needs may change over time. Key moments when their needs may shift include when they shift from one type of treatment to the next, such as from surgery to chemotherapy, or when they have completed all of their prescribed breast cancer treatments.\nBecause breast cancer is not a static event, but rather a journey of physical and emotional changes, there is no \"one size fits all\" approach to supporting women with this disease. Knowing how best to support breast cancer survivors is an ongoing process of changing expectations and needs based on where they may be in their treatment experience.\nMore research is needed to understand why and how different forms of social support improve breast cancer survival across different groups of breast cancer survivors. In the meantime, let's keep fighting breast cancer through promoting mammograms and by extending a helping hand to those women in our lives with breast cancer.\nDrugs for treating breast cancer in women are effective and well tolerated in men\nCitation: What kind of support do breast cancer patients want?

        "title": "Immigration Reform 2013: Obama Deported 409,849 Individuals in 2012",
        "raw_content": "Immigration Reform 2013: Obama Deported 409,849 Individuals in 2012\nBy Robin Ye | May 7, 2013\nThree weeks ago, when an immigration bill was first being introduced in the U.S. Senate, I wrote a piece summarizing what was in it. And although some debate and analysis over the nuances of the bill have taken place since, the real work begins this week as Congress returns from recess. The bill is headed for mark-up in the Senate Judiciary Committee beginning Thursday, May 9. From now until the August recess, immigration will be the most pressing issue both on the Senate and House floors, and in the public arena.\nImmigration has been touted as the potential signature domestic policy achievement of President Obama&apos;s his second term, if he is able to convince Congress to enact comprehensive reform. In order to even have a chance of Republican cooperation, the Obama administration, past and presently, has had to show toughness on border security and undocumented immigrants.\nEven with the White House\u2019s decision in August 2012 to accept applications for deferred deportation for young undocumented immigrants, the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency reports that it deported 409,849 individuals in fiscal year 2012, an increase of 11% since fiscal 2008 (the last fiscal year under President George W. Bush). Under the proposed provisions, December 31, 2011 is the proposed cut-off date by which illegal immigrants must have arrived in the U.S. These immigrants would be eligible for a pathway to citizenship, while those who came after that date would be deported. However, reliable figures on illegal immigration and border enforcement are hard to come by, as disputes over the Obama administration\u2019s possibly inflated deportation numbers in 2010 have questioned just how tough the White House has truly been. Concrete data shows that the number of border-patrol agents has increased 6.3% since fiscal year 2009 (a year mostly controlled by the outgoing Bush\u2019s fiscal policy) \u2014 in other words, the Obama administration has maintained a high level of border-enforcement personnel. This level may have been reduced due to the effects of the sequestration cuts, but on the other hand this level is expected to significantly rise again under the provisions of the current immigration bill.\nCurrently, opponents of the bill have aimed break the comprehensive package down into parts well-received and parts in contention, which effectively weakens the carefully crafted legislation. The left has pushed for an amendment to address the lack of inclusion of same-sex partner rights, while conservatives have expressed concern over a perceived shortcoming in border control and the E-verify system. Immigration reform has not been successfully passed since the Reagan administration, and failed as recently as 2006 under the Bush administration. The Gang of Eight, the senators pushing the bill through, recognized that no stakeholders would be fully satisfied by the bill, though the parts that were viewed as politically acceptable on the whole. The strength of the bill lies in its comprehensive framework. It will be important to note just how much the original composition of the bill is maintained if and when the bill reaches the Senate floor. If immigration reform doesn\u2019t reach its final stages by the peak of summer, then the same hard choices will only keep presenting themselves in the future.\nIn late April, pundits such as Maureen Dowd and Joe Scarborough took to questioning the strength of the president&apos;s \u201cbully pulpit\u201d and doubting his resolve to mobilize support for his agenda within Congress. However, with the Gang of Eight spearheading clear bipartisan support, the epicenter of the effort seems to be on Capitol Hill for now. Led by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.), the Gang of Eight is attempting to craft a supermajority in the Senate and push congruent action in the Republican-controlled House. Meanwhile, Obama\u2019s push for the rejected DREAM Act in 2010 and his deferred action plan of 2012 should demonstrate his commitment to immigration reform to any doubters. President Obama is hopeful and predicts that immigration can pass in the House, stating that the bill is a \u201cgood piece of work\u201d that doesn\u2019t include everything he would like but still meets his \u201ccore requirements.\u201d\nObama\u2019s oft-stated belief in an economy where everyone has a fair shot and plays by the same set of rules is in line with the bill\u2019s provisions to crack down on the hiring of undocumented immigrants, strengthen border security, and streamline legal immigration. Immigration reform is of utmost importance to the millions of hopeful American families, and to President Obama\u2019s legacy. It&apos;s a fight is guided by principle and by the ideals of opportunity and fairness. As with so many bills in Congress, the devil is in the details.\nImmigration Reform 2013 Recap: What's Being Sold, Who's Selling It, and What's to Come April 17, 2013\nImmigration Reform 2013: Even Conservative Super PACs Are Pushing Congress For a Deal April 10, 2013\nWill the Obama Library Be Located in Chicago or Hawaii?

        "raw_content": "New Zealand: The new Customs and Excise Act 2018 as from 1 of October\nThe Customs and Excise Act 2018 (the Act) was passed into law earlier this year and is a landmark development. The new law is the product of sound vision, much hard work by the New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS) team, and an extensive consultation phase with affected stakeholders. For the most part, the Act will apply from 1 October 2018.\nThe Act entirely replaces the Customs and Excise Act 1996. NZCS has taken a proactive approach to ensure our Customs legislation remains relevant and up-to-date and that it does not hamper the growth and development of New Zealand business. The key focus for NZCS was to have a legislative framework that provides flexibility for future operational and technological changes and to make sure New Zealand has a world class border management system. Two features stand out in the new Act:\nprinciples-based legislation, and\nseveral new business-oriented measures.\nKey changes for businesses:\nA new compensatory interest and late payment penalties scheme replaces the \u201cadditional duty\u201d regime, and will apply in the same way to all importers and producers of excisable goods.\nA new \u201cprovisional values\u201d regime applies for importers who cannot establish the Customs value of goods on importation. Replaces the \u201cuplift\u201d scheme.\nImporters will be able to request a binding valuation ruling from NZCS.\nBusinesses will be able to request NZCS to conduct a formal \u201cadministrative review\u201d of any decision, providing a low-cost initial avenue of appeal.\nFor importers using \u201ctransaction values\u201d, the legislation clarifies that the last sale in a supply chain is the relevant \u201csale for export to New Zealand\u201d.\nA key and immediate action point is for importers to consider the new Provisional Value regime. In some cases notifications (for automatically qualifying importers) and in other cases applications (for other importers) need to be made \u2013 ASAP given that new rules kick off on 1 October 2018.\nFrom 1 October, some importers will be able to use the provisional values service to estimate the value of their goods at the time of importation. The value can be finalised at a later date.\nTo be able to use this service, importers will need apply to Customs and be approved: https://www.customs.govt.nz/about-us/customs-and-excise-act-2018/what-you-can-register-for-now/\nFor any further information pls refer to the official website or do contact Eugen Trombitas: eugen.x.trombitas@nz.pwc.com\nCategories: Tax Knowledge | Tags: customs and excise act, customs legislation, new law, NZCS | Permalink.",

        "raw_content": "Mosquito Spraying \u2013 July 30, 2018\nThe PA Department of Environmental Protection will be initiating an aerial mosquito larval control application on Monday, July 30, 2018 in portions of your municipality. This control event is in response to the large portions of Dauphin County that have recently received heavy rainfall and may have experienced flooding as a result of that rainfall. The spraying area will be limited to areas near or around the Swatara Creek Watershed and Susquehanna River Basin.\nThis operation will begin at 7:00am and will last through the daylight hours. The application will include flights in Cumberland, Dauphin and Lebanon Counties. The helicopter will be a Blue and Grey Bell 206 with tail number N653HA. Helicopter Applicators Inc., who will be conducting the application, will be dispersing Vectobac GS, which is a Bti product manufactured by Valent Biosciences. Bti is short for Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, which is a bacterial larvicide, not a chemical, and is used to control larval mosquitoes. Vectobac GS is a bacterial product imbedded on corn cob granules. The helicopter will fly low near tree top level and release Vectobac GS over stagnant water containing larval mosquitoes. The product is released from the corn cob granules upon reaching the water and will kill mosquito larval when ingested.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cWhat\u2019s the next big thing in technology?\u201d It\u2019s one of the hardest questions to answer, and it just so happened to be the one I get asked the most. You can learn a lot about a person depending on their response. The hopeful will say renewable energy. The technophile with \u201cholographic screens and technological implants.\u201d For me, the answer is a bit less exciting (but no less important): IVR, automation, and analytics.\nSo, when I\u2019m asked what the future of technology is, my answer is simple: interactive voice response (IVR). Whether you know it or not you\u2019ve likely encountered IVR in your life. Any time you\u2019ve found yourself talking to Siri on your iPhone or a disembodied voice asking you to press a one or two on your phone pad, you\u2019re interacting with IVR.\nWhile the technology itself isn\u2019t new, IVR capabilities have grown exponentially.\nRemember the election coverage? Likely, those reports were received via phone or SMS text by an IVR controller that set off a set of logic to do the math and reporting necessary to interact with the front page of the website you were following.\nHow about a time you called to check on a package delivery or credit approval? Your information was likely securely stored on a database that was then accessed from that phone line along with the encryption and password necessary to get to it without anyone lifting a finger. And that\u2019s how it ought to be.\nHow many times have you found yourself at work asking, \u201cWhy isn\u2019t this automated/computerized yet?\u201d And how many times have you found yourself wishing you had a reporting dashboard to process the inputs from each day and each client only to realize the work that would have to go into making that happen and think to yourself \u201cit\u2019s just not worth it.\u201d\nAt MITTERA, our team of automation experts are working to push the boundaries of IVR and automated analysis. An archived database can be analyzed and reports built and maintained from the onset. This means the time spent down the road is time spent on things that matter \u2014 without having to worry about spending your precious time on data entry and reporting systems.\nNot only is our team ready to build custom solutions that push the envelope, but we\u2019re excited to do it. Our team is passionate about automation and we\u2019re invested as much as you are.\nSo do I think that IVR is the future? No, I don\u2019t think so. I think it\u2019s now. And soon, it won\u2019t be an option but a necessity.\n-Michael Tomlinson, Project Manager",

        "raw_content": "Points On How To Improve Your Business Performance\nMathematician and statistician W. Edwards Deming may not be a household name, but many in business could stand to learn from his lessons.\nWhen confronted with the processes of many organizations, he saw the need for transformation, and many companies that followed his lead found much success by doing so. A recent article from Black Enterprise covers the \u201cPoints of Quality\u201d that you can employ, as explained in \u201cDeming Management at Work\u201d by Mary Walton.\nOne thing that you\u2019ve probably heard for years in many organizations is an emphasis on quality. Put forth the quality effort, create the quality product. But at the same time, has anyone taken the time to explain why that is? Yes, sure, it\u2019s good for the company, but why? Part of putting Deming\u2019s ideas into action is creating a constant sense of purpose for everyone about why and how this emphasis on quality is important for your operations. This will allow them to feel better about what they do.\nPart of making this function properly falls on you as a business owner or decision maker as well. Take the time and energy to put together a strong game plan for training your employees both coming into the job and for when new technology or techniques are implemented. In addition, when you are putting together training and goals for employees, take a moment to see how they intertwine with each other. For example, if one team is focusing on sales while another is focusing on costs, they may be hurting each other when all they are trying to do is work hard at their jobs. Instead, refocusing them both on income will enable them to work separately, while keeping a common goal in mind.\nMany people in business try to implement several items in the workplace that sound effective on paper, but according to Deming, are better off removed. One example is slogans or catchphrases. These may be great in advertisements, but in the workplace itself, are fun but hollow. At the end of the day, a neat slogan won\u2019t help your employees be more creative, open, or productive on their own. Put your energy elsewhere.\nA similar area that may have good intention but can go off the rails is incentives and quotas. Deming himself once said, \u201cA person, to hold a job, meets a quota at any cost, without regard to damage to his company.\u201d We mentioned before about giving a reason for employees to put together quality work. Quotas can be a misfire, as an employee desperate to meet one may cut corners or ignore other facets in pursuit of a bonus or job security.",

        "raw_content": "Green ribbons in St. Lazare a symbol that we can sometimes get what we want\nGreen ribbons in St. Lazare are a symbol of how residents can make things happen.\nIf you drive around parts of St. Lazare these days, you see them: green ribbons tied to trees. They have become the symbol of hope, co-operation and the type of success that comes with perseverance.\nThese ribbons are at the centre of an awareness campaign to draw attention to the importance of preserving the woods around Dunes Lake, one of the prettiest natural areas in the municipality. The campaign was launched by a group of citizens who have been working diligently for years to convince the town\u2019s council to protect the area from development.\nLast week, council announced it will be taking a second run at acquiring the land, after its first attempt was thwarted when more than 900 residents signed a register, effectively blocking the borrowing bylaw that would have financed the deal.\nThe results of the register came as a bit of a surprise to many. It is true that not everyone is in favour of the town buying the land. But no one who worked on this project over the years ever thought that the bylaw would be blocked. And when the whole thing was reviewed, the bylaw was not as much blocked as hijacked. It was defeated by a group of residents who launched a petty campaign based on half-truths and financial fearmongering in an attempt to draw attention away from Dunes Lake and on their issues in their neighbourhood.\nAfter the register results came in, it appeared there were two groups of residents at odds: supporters of the Friends of Dunes Lake and a contingent of homeowners in the Chaline Valley area of town. Their respective goals: saving the lake area on one side and attempting to get council to address issues, like ditches that don\u2019t drain and landslide threats, on the other. In between was a municipal council that was failing to show the vision and leadership to address all these needs.\nBut the residents found a way to open a dialogue. And, together, they decided that their issues were not in competition. They simply had to find a way to put pressure on their councillors to do their jobs and address all the issues. They sparked a new spirit of citizen activism in the town.\nOn a one-page information sheet that the members of the Friends of Dunes Lake are distributing with the green ribbons is a list of all the town councillors and their email addresses. Everyone is invited to send a note to their councillors to convince them of the need to preserve the wooded area around the lake. Residents are being encouraged to get involved and to advocate. They are being asked to step up and help create the town that best reflects their values and needs for the future.\nAnd in response, the council is starting to listen. Last week, council not only announced it was putting forward a notice of motion for a new borrowing bylaw to acquire the land around Dunes Lake, it voted to approve the construction of a new access road for the Chaline Valley area.\nIn an interview this week, Judy Nagy, one of the leaders of Friends of Dunes Lake, said it best: \u201cThrough the trials and tribulations, the community is coming together.\u201d The stalling, the arguing and the inaction have stopped. Council is moving ahead. They are listening to what people have to say; what they want. It simply took the people to tell them.\nWith a little leadership, St. Lazare is working to get it all. Think about: just last week council approved the purchase of Dunes Lake, much needed improvements for Chaline Valley and we\u2019re getting a new Tim Hortons.\nBrenda O\u2019Farrell\nTerrasse-Vaudreuil council adopts cap for large projects Exit 41: The plot thickens.

        "raw_content": "Ford Revs Up Grammy Commercial Breaks\nIf you checked out the Grammy\u2019s, you may have seen some Ford spots that featured some unusually cool music. This was the results of a contest sponsored by Ford\u2019s advertising agency, Y&R Detroit.\nY&R asked aspiring filmmakers to send in music videos that featured the Lincoln MKS and a song from a set list of tunes from indy artists that was selected by Grammy-robnominated producer and music supervisor, Gary Calamar. :30 commercials/trailers were then cut from the winning videos to air during the Grammy\u2019s. There were five spots that aired in total and each featured a different artist. You can CLICK HERE to view the full videos that were the foundation for each spot.\nNo word on how Calamar selected the artists and songs on the list, but he definitely took care to use only indy acts. Ford explains that the reason for this promotion is because they are targeting a younger audience with the MKS, and realize it\u2019s tough reaching this consumer with traditional marketing means \u2013 and they\u2019ve found that utilizing music can be an effective way to talk to this demo. Additionally, they affirm, \u201cOur goal was to create a unique opportunity for undiscovered musical artists and directors and present it in a way that people watching the Grammy\u2019s would enjoy and appreciate.\u201d\nThe Heavenly States made it into the MKS\u2019s stereo\nThe five artists who made it onto the Grammy\u2019s are below. In addition to the airtime there songs received which was seen by millions, each also gets a plug on Ford\u2019s website. Not a bad deal.\nThis promotion definitely proves that Ford is thinking outside the box and finding new and effective ways to incorporate music into their marketing efforts. They\u2019re definitely making progress since the days when they used Toby Keith\u2019s legendary \u201cFord Truck Man\u201d and Lou Bega\u2019s timeless \u201cMambo #5\u201d in their ads.",

        "raw_content": "Building a New Wing: The Digital Engagement Project\nSarah Smith, Reynolda House Museum of American Art, USA, Emily Santillo, Reynolda House Museum of American Art, USA, Tim Songer, Interactive Knowledge, Inc., USA, Allison Wolf, Interactive Knowledge, USA\nFrom conception to implementation to final project this paper will demonstrate the importance of museum departments working in collaboration to achieve an institutional priority \u2013 providing online, in-depth access to museum collections and inspiring ways to interact with the collections. The paper will offer tips relevant to a broad scope of museum expertise, including long range planning, interdepartmental relationships, fundraising, cataloging collection objects, publicizing the project, and creating a new website.\nTo reach its full potential, a museum\u2019s digital presence requires the continued and focused support of its entire organization and community, not just a single department. From the very beginning, the effort should be clearly branded as a museum-wide initiative, allowing everyone to envision how the new website will change and enhance their unique role at the museum. If staff members feel they are a part of something bigger than themselves, part of a sea-change initiative that has the power to transform the way the museum works, they will eagerly anticipate the arrival of the new digital wing from the minute ground is broken.\nBeginning in 2009, Reynolda House leadership developed a working strategy that allowed the Museum to unveil a digital wing in Fall of 2013. This paper will highlight the major milestones, key roles, and important lessons learned during the construction and launch of the Reynolda House digital wing.\nTHE STAGES (some overlapping):\nLaying the Foundation (18 months)\nSecuring the Funding (6 months)\nGathering the Raw Material (4 months)\nSearching for a Building Partner (2 months)\nBranding the New Wing (3 months)\nThe Construction Process (16 months from wireframes to launch)\nThe Doors are Open (6 months\u2026and ongoing!)\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Multiple-Perspectives-390x300.png 390w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Multiple-Perspectives.png 650w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /> Figure 1\nLaying the Foundation: A Strategic Plan for the Future\nIn June 2009, Reynolda House completed an intensive, 18-month, impact-driven strategic planning process. Both Museum staff and Board of Directors members were included in the process, which was led by a core team of the executive director, director of collections management, education director, and director of marketing and communications.\nAn important priority outlined in the plan was the use of technology as a means to connect people to the Museum collections and historic site. While conceptual innovation is a hallmark of Reynolda\u2019s mission and historic legacy as a home, innovation in implementation had lagged.\nMuseum leadership understood that technology would play an increasingly relevant and important role for audiences to experience the Museum. In addition, priorities such as developing programs that respond to human concerns and strengthening the financial stability of the organization would influence thinking about the Museum\u2019s online presence.\nThis planning process, called Reynolda\u2019s Plan for the Future, provided the structure and top-level support required to move forward with an enormous undertaking: digitizing the Museum\u2019s collections and eventually sharing them online. Without the existence of a plan to buttress the project, it would have been impossible to get it off the ground.\nStrong Executive Director and Board required. The overall vision had to come from top down \u2013 an executive director versed in current practice, listening to the needs/ideas of involved staff. The Board and major donors were brought on board early to demonstrate financial and resource support.\nHave a North Star. Define a common vision and purpose that will keep staff members\u2019 eyes focused on the end result. Never tire of the question: To what end?\nGathering the Raw Material: The Electronic Cataloging Project\nThe Museum launched the Electronic Cataloging Project in 2010 with the purpose of putting its treasures into a format accessible by people across the globe. More than 1,000 professional digital images were taken of Reynolda\u2019s collections and nearly 500 in-depth records were created. Each record contained a vast amount of data and images that would serve the Museum\u2019s staff and audiences into the future.\nThe purchase and implementation of The Museum System (TMS) software was a major step forward in the day-to-day management of collections information, and would change the way that curatorial, programs, archives, and development staff could reference the collections in their daily work. TMS was chosen because it is an industry leader and widely used by museums worldwide. The Museum raised more than $220,000 for the project, with a sizable portion of that coming from the National Endowment for the Arts.\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Catalog_Image-1024x300.png 1024w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Catalog_Image-500x146.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /> Figure 2\nSeveral months into the project, the Museum team realized that additional support was needed to make these robust images and in-depth information available to the public. The resources produced from the Electronic Cataloging Project would be impressive and useful, but it became increasingly clear that there was no adequate structure in which to house them. The Museum\u2019s existing website and content management system, created in 2005, could not support the digitized collections nor allow for the re-imagining of their use. There were two aspects of this issue that needed a solution:\nThe Museum lacked the specific expertise and resources on staff to develop and execute a project of this scope.\nAll Museum staff were not fully enrolled in the need for a new site and the possibilities that housing the collections online would provide.\nReynolda House would form a complementary, parallel project to develop a new website that would make the collections available to the general public, teachers, students, curators and researchers. In addition, the project would allow for the re-imagining of how the Museum defined, engaged, and interacted with its audiences:\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Floorplan-1024x487.png 1024w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Floorplan-500x238.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /> Figure 3\nA Request for Proposals (RFP) was built to seek not only a firm that could lead the technical design and coding of a site, but one that would provide strategic leadership and guidance in developing an online strategy.\nThe new project, Reynolda\u2019s Digital Engagement Project, would be branded in a way that expressed the potential benefit to all areas of the Museum and garnered the necessary wide-ranging support.\nBuild the help you need into grant proposals. Special projects are overwhelming on top of daily job responsibilities; build funded positions and contract help (like editing and photography) into grant proposals to make it bearable.\nTechnology is a moving target. Changes in technology move at a pretty quick pace. Products, services, and needs are continually evolving. Be open to new technology and how it will elevate your original idea to the next level.\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ChickenEgg.png 447w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" /> Figure 4\nSecuring the Funding: Chicken meet egg.\nFunding provides money and morale.\nTo get donors excited about the project, the people who know the most about it need to be at the table. Donors like details! But how do you know the details if the project isn\u2019t funded yet? Reynolda House moved forward with both cataloging its collections and the Digital Engagement Project with the assurance that funding would be secured. It was a risk, but the only way to maintain focus and morale.\nBetween the Electronic Cataloging Project and the Digital Engagement Project, staff from marketing, collections, and curatorial departments participated in meetings with potential donors. The Museum gave ample practice opportunities for staff more accustomed to working behind the scenes: presentations ranged from small groups of staff at first, to all-staff meetings, then docents, Board, and donors.\nOne of the Museum\u2019s previous donors with a particular interest in how the Museum was using technology to share the story of Reynolda with its visitors was matched with the Digital Engagement Project in a spectacular example of Reynolda House continuing the theme of his previous commitments. Reynolda House shared web statistics with him, outlined the RFP, and discussed its detailed vision for how this site would change the way the Museum reached visitors. It was an easy sell: the donor was both committed to Reynolda House and enrolled by the data and thorough process explanation. Thanks to this donor\u2019s gift, the most important phase for laying the groundwork of the project, Phase I (research and planning), was possible. The project manager coordinated update calls with the donor during the process and again as the site went into design.\nThe Museum\u2019s development team began meetings with Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) program officers nearly two years before its successful grant application. The timing of grant cycles presented a unique challenge: Reynolda House was requesting funding for Phase II of a project that, at the time of the grant application, had not begun the planning phase. In writing the grant application, staff leveraged the importance of Phase I to develop an informed and strategic approach as a demonstration of commitment to the project and a process that would best serve the Museum.\nThen Reynolda launched Phase I. And waited.\nIt was a long 9 months waiting to hear from IMLS if funding for Phase II was successful. The research and planning was able to continue because senior leadership had committed to the project. If IMLS funding had fallen through, the funding would have been sought elsewhere. The charge to the project team was to move forward. This commitment was critical both for resource planning and staff morale. When the Museum received news that the grant was successful \u2013 in the amount of $137,000 \u2013 it was a boon to the project manager and planning teams who were now working together on a federally funded initiative. Total money raised for both the Electronic Cataloging Cataloging Project and the Digital Engagement Project was more than $350,000. Funding does not just provide the financial resources \u2013 it provides staff with confidence.\nTalk about yourself. Give presentations to engage potential donors and future users. Don\u2019t just tell, show the work that is being done. You can\u2019t be shy when you set a goal for a project of this scope. A public relations plan is just as important as the implementation plan; consider presentations with all constituents throughout the process.\nThe Search for a Building Partner: RFP\nThe Museum identified that the website project would live in the marketing & communications department, and identified the Assistant Director for Creative Services, who managed the Museum\u2019s current site, as the project manager. The project manager needed the following characteristics to be successful:\nJack or Jill of all trades. Reynolda House needed someone with broad knowledge of all areas of the Museum rather than someone deeply invested in one perspective alone. This allowed the project manager to be seen as an unbiased and neutral but informed leader.\nTaskmaster. Somebody on the team has to really want it. Like, want it enough to be ok with their job responsibility changing and making tough decisions when all the children are above average. It means nagging to ensure deadlines are met and finding solutions when there only appear to be roadblocks.\nFlexibility of a yogi. Senior leadership may not be the best choice because they already have so many important, required responsibilities. The project manager needs to be able to accommodate additional duties and bend, bow, and stretch as the project evolves.\nInterpreter. Among a staff with varying levels of technical experience and interest, the ability of Reynolda\u2019s project manager to hear ideas and translate them to actionable items was critical.\nFollowing the Museum\u2019s awareness that it lacked the specific resources on staff to develop and implement such a project, the team wrote an RFP that sought a firm that could not only lead the technical design and coding of a site, but one that would provide strategic leadership and guidance in developing a digital strategy.\nBefore writing an RFP for the website, the team scheduled coffee or lunch with potential vendors. The conversation comparisons between the vendor that fit and and everyone else were very revealing. When analyzing the potential fit of a vendor with the Museum, Reynolda asked important questions such as the following: is the vendor excited about the opportunity, do they seem engaged with their clients, what will the learning curve be? Were Reynolda staff inspired talking to them, did they present new ideas we had not previously considered?\nThanks to the informational interviews and time thinking about what Reynolda House really needed in an online presence, the inclusion of specific details in the RFP meant the Museum team did not have to waste time wading through proposals full of bells and whistles, making it much easier to compare proposals from several companies.\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/SpeedMeeting-413x300.jpg 413w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/SpeedMeeting.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /> Figure 5\nIn May 2010, Reynolda House issued the final RFP to five vendors to redesign the site ranging from small, local firms to nationally known vendors. Interactive Knowledge was the only firm with direct and extensive museum experience, a background in educational products that mirrored the Museum\u2019s mission, experience with grant-funded projects, and recommendations from colleagues and consultants, including Randi Korn & Associates, the firm that led Reynolda House strategic planning process.\nIf what you want doesn\u2019t exist, create it. Buying an off-the-shelf system for the interface that would connect the new collections database to the website did not meet Reynolda\u2019s needs or vision, so the Museum asked Interactive Knowledge to build one. This decision not only produced the desired project, but also resulted in long-term savings. An important consideration in this decision was more upfront cost, but less long-term cost by avoiding an annual license fee.\nHire vendors you trust. Reynolda staff didn\u2019t know how to write code that makes one database talk to another database across three different servers, and didn\u2019t even really know how to tell if a vendor did. But by talking with their previous clients, meeting the majority of their staff, and looking at a history of well-known work, Museum staff felt comfortable entrusting access to all its data, as well as authorizing the vendor to work on behalf of the Museum with other vendors. Although hard for a group that prefers to be in control, this proved efficient and invaluable in managing time and the technical aspect of the project.\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/RDEPwordcloud-1024x595.png 1024w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/RDEPwordcloud-500x290.png 500w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/RDEPwordcloud.png 1504w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /> Figure 6\nBranding the New Wing: Reynolda\u2019s Digital Engagement Project\nReynolda House\u2019s well-trained staff felt that \u201cthe website\u201d was a \u201cmarketing responsibility.\u201d How would the project manager enroll all staff of the possibilities online collections and a dynamic online presence would present?\nBrand the project in terms of impact. To elevate the project beyond simply a marketing-department only \u201cwebsite redesign,\u201d the Museum thoughtfully branded the effort as Reynolda\u2019s Digital Engagement Project. Project teams were created with staff from across the Museum and relied on language consistent with the strategic plan: impact and engagement. In this way, staff from all departments and function areas could see themselves as part of the team and begin to envision how their work could be enhanced by the new digital wing.\nDevelop a team.\nDigital Engagement Project Internal Team Structure:\nProject Manager \u2013 Assistant Director for Creative Services\nCore Team \u2013 team of three staff\nAssistant Director for Creative Services \u2013 leading the vision for the project\nDirector of Collections Management \u2013 representing care of the collections\nDirector of Education \u2013 representing how collections are shared\nCore Team Ad Hoc Member, Editor-in-Chief \u2013 Director of Marketing and Communications \u2013 To provide leadership support and ensure consistent tone and throughout the site\nNeed for a New Staff Member Identified:\nAudience Engagement and Communications Specialist\nThe expectations of this new position were not maintenance of technical needs, rather the execution of the Museum\u2019s desired impact among a digital audience. This staff member, hired in the last months of Phase II, is responsible for creating synergy between on-site experiences and virtual experiences and coordinating the extension of the Museum\u2019s desired impact and brand online and through digital channels including reynoldahouse.org, email, social media, and other technologies. Due to limited resources, the creation of this new part-time position meant that an existing part-time position would be eliminated. The Museum\u2019s strategic plan provided the undergirding necessary for this difficult decision.\nEnlist support from leadership. The Museum\u2019s executive director was a champion of the project and consistently emphasized its institutional importance. She used all-staff meetings as opportunities to announce when teams were formed, share milestones on the project, and reveal updates on the site development. Support from senior staff is invaluable in terms of morale and harnessing people\u2019s attention.\nProject lines can blur. One of the more challenging internal milestones related to internal management of the extensive amount of work required to meet these goals. When the Museum\u2019s collections team decided that the interface offered by the database vendor did not meet expectations, a \u201cthird\u201d project was formed to identify the ideal interface. Who would manage it? Was this a function of the Electronic Cataloging Project or of Reynolda\u2019s Digital Engagment Project? The answer \u2013 Yes! After some passionate discussions, Reynolda House assigned ownership of the interface to the website project because the same vendor would build it, but remained in close contact with the colleagues managing ECP to ensure seamless working relationships between vendors. At the end of day, the both projects were working toward the same goal and needed players to work together\u2013both staff and vendors.\nExpect some conflict. managing an interdepartmental and multi-year project means there will be some disagreements and differences; don\u2019t let this damage morale.\nCreate benchmarks and celebrate them! The team working on the project needs benchmarks and they need acknowledgment when those goals are met. Reynolda House held full-staff lunch meetings to unveil site design, informal idea and chat sessions to focus on specific aspects of the project, and presentations with visuals to acknowledge when milestones were met.\nHave advisory meetings not working meetings. Design and decision-by-committee is not ideal. Reynolda House succeeded by presenting recommendations to committees rather than presenting the raw data.\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/construction-02-Frame-386x300.png 386w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/construction-02-Frame.png 963w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /> Figure 7\nPlease Excuse the Noise: The Construction Process\nWhy Strategic Meeting Planning and Scheduling was Critical the New Digital Wing\u2019s Success\nIt was important for Reynolda House to divide its project into two phases. Phase I: what do we want to do. Phase II: let\u2019s do it. This structure allowed the Museum to consider the scope of the project and plan without having to implement at the same time. It also fit into funding cycles for donors and grants.\nIn Phase I the core team worked with IK on multiple levels of a written site plan with numerous options for wireframes and visual design allowing for opportunities to make changes along the way, without stalling the work that actually needed to get done.\nThe most critical staff meeting occurred when the formation of the core team and subcommittees were announced in January 2011, approximately mid-way through Phase I. The Museum\u2019s most important news, updates, and projects were routinely shared during these meetings, so staff members were primed to hear critical announcements in this setting. The project manager and director of marketing and communications met with the executive director the week prior and presented the proposal of core team and subcommittees. Upon approval, it was determined that the announcement come not from the project manager (who was two levels down in the organizational structure) but from the executive director as a visible symbol of the top-down support for the project.\nMeetings were structured as follows:\nProject Manager and Director of Marketing & Communications \u2013 several times a week\nProject Manager and Vendor \u2013 weekly during Phase I and Phase II\nCore Team \u2013 bimonthly during Phase I; as needed during Phase II\nsenior leadership \u2013 bimonthly during Phase I and II\nall-staff \u2013 at critical milestones: kickoff, completion of wireframes, completion of design\nReynolda House inserted a survey tool on its existing homepage to gather data on the current environment of its online visitors to help inform the planning process. The survey revealed that online visitors were evenly split between people who had visited the Museum in person and those who had never visited or, as Reynolda House called them, digital constituents and potential on-site visitors.\nThe second phase of the project focused on production of the site, visual design, blueprints, content inventory, testing, and soft launch of the site.\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Comparisons-1024x451.png 1024w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Comparisons-500x220.png 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /> Figure 8\nWhat is a soft launch? Manage expectations. Reynolda House started using the term \u201csoft launch\u201d among its staff early \u2013 and explained what it meant. Staff might see things that need tweaking, content was still being added, or a page may not load properly. This approach enrolled Museum staff in diving in to help fine tune the site and become champions for the process.\nhttps://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Complete-1024x767.png 1024w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Complete-400x300.png 400w, https://mw2014.museumsandtheweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Complete.png 1307w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" /> Figure 9\nThe Doors are Open. Is the Project Over?\nSo the project is over, right? Of course not. The most important message for staff is that this is just the beginning. Engaging with online audiences is now a parallel priority for Reynolda House. The new site is a platform \u2013 a new wing \u2013 that now requires programming, marketing, curating, and daily tending to make it the best experience for visitors, just like the physical building. Because this message had been a major theme of the project from day one, incorporating digital audience into planning was expected.\nHow has site changed the way the Museum works?\nMarketing & Social Strategy\nWhat\u2019s the same. Marketing and interpretative message priorities are no different for the digital audience, they are just executed differently. The Museum sets specific goals for exhibitions and individual programs \u2013 these goals direct event planning, ad placement, label writing \u2026 and digital messaging.\nWhat\u2019s different. The Museum has moved to fewer printed pieces and less text on the pieces it prints. More detailed descriptions about events are online; blog posts are planned around upcoming events to expand upon and promote the event. Its spring Members Calendar, mailed to more than 1,100 members and available at the front desk, includes two links to its Curate Reynolda blog for images and more information on the content in the calendar.\nFocus. Reynolda House made it a priority for all social media posts, tweets, comments, and images to link back to the website. The new digital wing is the hub of content. Throughout the fall of 2013, Facebook posts featured objects from the collections, rotating between the three collections and highlighting details seen only online.\nWe\u2019re using the tools. Using the Museum\u2019s new personnel and online platforms, Reynolda House hosted its first virtual media preview for a new exhibition that opened in August. Using a common hashtag, video content was shared with people worldwide. More initiatives are underway.\nThe part-time position Audience Engagement and Communications Specialist is now full-time, and the responsibilities of digital engagement and audience development are so ingrained in the functions of the Museum that Reynolda House titled the position more broadly: Assistant Director of Marketing & Communications.\nProcesses & Goals\nDiscussion of digital components to exhibitions, events, programs, and visitor services is incorporated into routine meetings. The Museum\u2019s thorough exhibitions timeline document now includes deadlines for object packages and online galleries alongside the traditional printing of labels and installation of works.\nPeople are paying attention. The percentage of people who respond that they heard about the Museum from a digital source (email, website, social media) has increased steadily: in 2010 just 10% of visitors indicated an online source; in fall of 2013, that number was nearly 25% \u2014 the top response.\nStats reflect Museum goals. A digital wing allows for a level of measurement that is more difficult to achieve in the on-site environment. Reynolda House set as two of its goals for the new site to increase the \u201csticky factor,\u201d or pages viewed, as well as time spent on the site. The first four months of the new wing visitors explored 3.69 pages per visit and spent an average of 2:57 on the site. Statistics from the same period from the previous year were 3.09 pages and 1:58 time spent per visit\u2013numbers garnered during the soft launch of the site. The Museum planned its major launch of the site \u2013 a mailing to peers in the field, educators, and members along with other marketing efforts \u2013 in the spring of 2014 to ensure that any tweaks or edits to the site were complete. While the Museum keeps track of overall visits to the site, it is more focused on engagement with its audience in all digital platforms and continues to explore the best tools for measuring this engagement. At the writing of this paper, the marketing team was using Google Analytics and SumAll to evaluate its online impact.\nReynolda House Museum of American Art has a rich legacy of innovation \u2013 from its beginnings as the modern 1917 home of R.J. and Katharine Smith Reynolds to its evolution as a museum of American art fifty years later that expanded its gallery space with a new wing in 2005. The extension of the Museum into the digital wing is in keeping with its history and mission; but how would it approach such an undertaking with limited resources? Reynolda House took a visionary approach to an otherwise routine museum project \u2014 the Museum considered the design of a new website as the building of a new, virtual wing of the Museum. The result was a dynamic new website, new staff resources to support the site, and a Museum equipped and inspired to utilize its new space. Reynolda\u2019s Digital Engagement Project demonstrates how impact-driven planning can elevate a small museum project into a big-time thinking.\nView our Presentation at: http://mw2014.ikshare.com/\nThe Digital Engagement Project was inspired by these references:\nNina Simon\u2019s post about the Walker Museum Redesign (http://museumtwo.blogspot.com/2011/12/digital-museums-reconsidered-exploring.html) A transformative moment for the team was the concept that Nina talked about in this post about the Walker Art Center: \u201cWalkerart.org is not about the Walker Art Center. It is the Walker Art Center, in digital form.\u201d That is what Reynolda sought to create \u2013 an online experience parallel to the online experience.\nGroundswell Website \u2013 http://www.groundswell.org/\nSmithsonian Institution Web & New Media Strategy Wiki (http://smithsonian-webstrategy.wikispaces.com/)\nColleagues Not in the Museum Field. The project manager spent time talking with colleagues in web design and social media field who weren\u2019t necessarily invested in museums or the arts. This gave a neutral perspective to Reynolda (i.e. a developer, an information architecture/logistics person, social media specialists, etc) to bounce ideas, share problems and get feedback.\n. \"Building a New Wing: The Digital Engagement Project.\" MW2014: Museums and the Web 2014.

        "raw_content": "How can I get Generation X and Generation Y employees to work on time?!!\nQ. Is it me or do \u201cunder 30\u201d employees have serious issues with getting to work on time? In a call center environment we don\u2019t have room for flexible scheduling, yet our Generation X employees seem to take this ticket anyway. Ideas?\nMyra\u2019s answer to: How can I Generation X and Generation Y employees to work on time?!!\nI have spent the last three years studying Generation X\u2013 their behavior, working styles, and the best ways to retain and motivate them. This intense study of my very own peers has equipped me to help managers to much more effectively work with Generation X in such areas as giving feedback, coaching performance, holding employees accountable, and dealing effectively with unacceptable performers.\nGeneration Xers were shaped and molded by different times. These times were largely \u201cflexible\u201d in every area from the way they were parented to the attire they were allowed to wear in school. Flexibility is all they know and that\u2019s why you will likely have \u201cissues\u201d with getting Xers to work on time, getting them to come in early for a mandatory staff meeting, or getting them to work overtime. They are accustomed to being able to \u201cnegotiate\u201d everything and saying \u201cno\u201d at will. When they are tardy or absent, they are not usually being defiant, they are simply responding to your rigid rules with an assumed \u201cright of flexibility\u201d the way they have all of their lives.\nThe flexibility perspective of many Generation Xers will be manifested, not only with attendance, but also with attire, work ethic, and attitude. This week I will discuss how to talk to a Generation Xer about attendance concerns.\nAm I suggesting that you should put up with the Xers flexibility needs and allow them to come and go as they please? Absolutely not. You\u2019ve got a business to run and compliance with company policy is a reasonable expectation. Here\u2019s how you address attendance issues with the Generation Xer.\n1. Establish crystal clear expectations about attendance.\nSaying \u201cI need you here by 8:00am.\u201d may not be effective. Instead, you\u2019ll want to say \u201cYour shift is from 8:00am \u2013 5:00pm. This means I need you here, clocked in, in your cube with your computer booted up and ready to take calls by 8:00am. Walking in the building at 8:00am is not acceptable.\u201d\n2. Explain the impact on incompliance on co- workers, customers, and any other relevant parties.\nYou must get the point across to the Xer that her or his actions go beyond simply being late or tardy. The bigger picture consequences are much more likely to motivate positive performance change in your younger employee. Try this approach, \u201cWhen you return from lunch 15 minutes late, it throws the entire lunch schedule off for your co-workers and results in even longer hold times for our customers. As I\u2019m sure can imagine, this is frustrating for me, your co-workers, and our customers.\u201d\n3. Lay out the consequences of failure to comply with the policy.\nSadly, establishing clear performance expectations and explaining organizational impact, alone, will not be enough to get your Xers to comply with policy. You\u2019ll have to clearly relay the immediate consequence of incompliance. An easy way to do this is \u201cI need someone who can and will be here by 8:00am every morning. I hope that person is you. If you can\u2019t do that, I will be forced to take progressive action that may include termination.\u201d I know it sounds harsh, but you cannot afford to leave room for misunderstandings.\nSupervising Generation Xers is not rocket-science and you can learn to do with ease and effectiveness.

        "raw_content": "https://audio.simplecast.com/cdbdbf07.mp3\nI have a confession. When I first began freelancing, I didn\u2019t have a process. I only thought about my process when I had a client expressed interest in working with me. I believe there was some part of me that thought having a process was too formal and I wanted to be the cool freelancer who connected with clients.\nNot having a process is problematic because it causes confusion because there are no clear steps clients can anticipate. I learned the hard way but now I currently have a process, and I believe any creative should have a set process they share with the client they are working with.\nI realized by not having a formal process I was wasting a lot of time. Clients would either not be organized when they would tell me about their projects, and I really wished they would be more together, but I just took it as it came. After meeting with multiple potential clients who never transitioned to a paid client, I realized I lost tons of time emailing and on the phone with no compensation for the early work. At this point, I knew I needed to formalize things not only for myself but also to help out the client who is telling me about their project.\nHere is my process, which involves 3 official meetings with the client:\nRoadmap or Proposal\nClient Agreement (Contract)\nSolution Presentation\nRevision Cycle(s)\nThrough much trial and error, I finally was able to get to a point where I was comfortable with the process. This was an overnight I had to try different things out and see what works best not only for myself but what works best for the client. Also, not every step will work the same with different people, that being said the process is a process.\nGet the client to fill out a questionnaire\nIf somebody expresses interest in working with me regardless of how they contact me the first thing I have them do is fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire contains questions about their business questions to uncover the value of their project but also questions about what their business goals are and what they would like to see out of the project if everything went ideally.\nIf the first interaction is by phone, then I take the very same questionnaire and ask them the same questions. For me, the questionnaire serves as a filter, if you\u2019re serious about your business at the least, you will walk with me through these questions. If if the client does not want to answer any of these questions then to me it is a red flag. The goal is to get these questions answered before our first scheduled me even if they have to take it as homework before the meeting.\nThe questionnaire contains preliminary questions to see in the beginning stages if the client is a good fit for my business and if I am a good fit for their project.\nWhen qualifying a client, we are trying to find out three significant things. Does the client have a reasonable deadline?\nCan they client afford you?\nDo you actually like the interaction client rapport?\nAre they respectful?\nA bonus reason is, do you genuinely like the idea of the project and does it match up with your values? For example, if you are a vegan and believe in supporting renewable energy sources you\u2019re probably not going to work with a wasteful meat slaughtering company on how they can grow their business.\nPro Tip: Before the first meeting remember to research the client. See if you can find them on LinkedIn or anything else a Google search can reveal.\nI\u2019ve recognized the chances of a successful project increase dramatically when the first meeting is face to face. This can be a video conference over the Internet or meeting in person. With face-to-face meetings, people are often more focused and let their guard down because they are speaking with a real person and not some mystery person emailing them like you\u2019re in an early 1990s chat room (Shout out to AOL online).\nThis meeting should be 15 \u2013 1-hour max and the client should be aware of the limit. Setting a meeting limit helps the client to focus on the essential facts. Based on the responses to my questions I use this as an opportunity to ask questions useful to value-based pricing.\nAfter the initial meeting, I\u2019ll use that information to do research and find out what the best solution to their business problem is. That research results in one of two things: a roadmap which describes to the client what path we need to take to help them accomplish their goals and what they need to do to make that happen.\nThe second thing is a proposal, I will craft what the solution is in a proposal and describe the work I\u2019m going to do as well as the cost of that solution. The client may have feedback, and we can talk through the roadmap or the proposal and change things accordingly, but at the end of it, all pricing is agreed-upon as well as if they want to move forward or not.\nRoadmap = how to get there.\nProposal = this is what I can do for the client and how much it will cost.\nOnce we get aligned on the proposal and what solution I\u2019m going to do the next step is to draw up a client agreement. I used to call this a contract with sometimes the word contract scares people maybe it sounds to legal I\u2019m not sure, so I change the client agreement just so that it in furs these other terms to what they agree to. The whole goal of the agreement is to get them to know what it is they are deciding to also to protect myself and to protect them. In the contract, there is also a statement of work, or I describe the exact thing that I\u2019m going to do for them.\nGetting the first payment (deposit)\nThe client agreement also has payment terms included. This may be the amount I outlined in a proposal but may also include payment terms if they\u2019re on a payment plan.\nBefore I get begin any work, the client must pay a deposit or the whole amount based upon what the project is. I don\u2019t care how the client pays I make many different payment options available whether it is by check PayPal debit card you name it. I don\u2019t care what method is used to pay, but I do stress that work will not begin until I am paid I have been burned too many times in the past to let this slide.\nAfter payment is made now, you can begin the work and start building what was outlined in the roadmap session as well as the proposal. I used to work on projects in private and set a meeting in the future when clients can see the project at 80 %, but I realize this made some clients nervous because they want able to see the project evolves. This led me to create check-in points along the way. These are points in time to where I will reach out to the client and let them know the work that is completed and what to expect next.\nThe Solution Presentation\nWhen the work has gotten to a certain point about 80 to 90%, I schedule a meeting to present the almost completed solution to the client. I wait until it\u2019s 90% because I want the client to see how everything works together Close to its final state showing clients earlier than this has led to them wanting to make changes to something that wasn\u2019t complete in the first place. I walk through how things work together and what any functionality of each.\nRevision Cycles\nThroughout the entire process, your client may have had the need to express feedback. The feedback is valuable because they want to contribute to the overall success of the project however we have to make sure their feedback is given in the proper contest. As a creative professional it is your role to deliver the agreed upon assets. Is your clients rule to serve focus on girls and serve as a subject matter expert. As you\u2019ve been working on completing the project with the deadline you should have been giving your client updates along the way recline is allowed to provide feedback however it must be there any one of these revision Cycles. A revision cycle is a designated amount of time in which your client can give feedback to make changes if they aligned with the successors all of the projects.\nI usually use at least two revision cycles for my clients. This limit is not to limit what I hear from the customer what is 2 get them to focus specifically on what is essential and what is not. Meeting a deadline may be most significant changing a button color from Green two lime green may not be crucial and it\u2019s also something we can do after launch.\nIf the client is on a payment plan before launching the final payment must be made. I implement all of the feedback I was given during revision cycles, set a launch date, test and provide the client a couple of to-dos to ensure they have a successful launch. This is a great time to celebrate and summarize all that was accomplished in getting to the final product. Assuming there are no glitches or problems we are technically finished with the process. There is one more step I added for good measure, and that\u2019s to follow up after launch.\nIt\u2019s common courtesy and excellent customer service to follow up. I used to complete projects, pass them on to the client and then move on to the next project. This caused me to miss out on a tremendous opportunity to increase the perception of my brand and gain future work.\nFollow up 2 weeks to a month after completing the project. Ask if things are working out like the customer planned, perhaps there are some other items you can help with which will increase the client\u2019s chances of success. If they are happy with your overall process, this is also an excellent time to ask them to give a review of your whole process and use their testimony in case studies and advertising.\n026: The Client Process Workflow2016-04-082018-09-23https://nathanallotey.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/green-na-logo-1.pngNathan Allotey (Official Site)https://nathanallotey.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/client-process.jpg200px200px\nMusa\t November 16, 2017\nThanks a lot nathan, your videos covered all I needed to start my freelance web development, in fact I\u2019m currently creating a page for my work process.

        "raw_content": "\u2190 On Bowie\u2019s Death\nStar Wars Fun with Samuel Clemens and Edgar A. Poe \u2192\nRickman Rocked It (From Hogwarts to CBGB)\nToday, news of Alan Rickman\u2019s death flooded the internet, just days after David Bowie\u2019s passing.\nHe played in many sf/fantasy films, including Galaxy Quest and as Snape in the Harry Potter movies. He also did films that had a more magic-realist spin\u2013including the sweet Truly, Madly, Deeply, where he plays the ghost of a woman\u2019s dead love who returns to her. And his Hans Gruber was the best 1980s action-movie villain, period.\nThe last thing I saw him in was a rock and roll film: CBGB. He played the legendary club owner, Hilly Kristal, who gave New York\u2019s early punk bands a place to play before the music had a following. The film shows him discovering The Ramones, Talking Heads, The Dead Boys, and other punk legends.\nRickman\u2019s understated portrayal of Hilly made the film worth watching. He\u2019s a guy who looks beaten before he ever started, who never shows enthusiasm even when he\u2019s seeing something that he knows is amazing and ground-breaking. That\u2019s a hard role to pull off. He nails it, suggesting a guy who admires these weird band\u2019s enthusiasm and thrill of liberation, even though he\u2019s not buying completely buying into their shtick.\nThe movie as a whole isn\u2019t great, which is probably why it won\u2019t be mentioned in many Rickman obituaries. As you can see from the trailer below, there are far too many moments where the dialogue seems lifted from a rock journalism primer. But Rickman holds it together.\nI think Rickman is one of those actors who could switch between the broad, elegant theatrical mode (a la Shakespearean drama) and the American film minimalist acting mode unerringly. His CBGB performance is definitely the latter. It\u2019s worth a watch, especially if you\u2019ve loved his work in the fantasy genre and want to see how he handles a rock bio-pic.\nThis entry was posted in All Posts and tagged Alan Rickman, CBGB, Harry Potter, Hilly Kristal, Ramones, science fiction, Television.

The Chiefs led from the first play of the game to the last, returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown en route to a 30-0 blowout win. The Chiefs now have to travel to Gillette Stadium on Saturday, January 16th to face the No. 2 seed in the AFC.\nWith a bye week, the Patriots rested some of their ailing players that provide depth to both the linebacking corp and offensive line. The Patriots will also have the services of a major cog on offense, as wide receiver Julian Edelman returns from nearly a 10-week absence.\nOf the four games being played this week, Patriots tickets are the most expensive according to ticket aggregator TiqIQ.com. The average ticket price is $418.08 with a get-in price of $166, which is less than they were after the final regular season game. On January 4th the average ticket price was $440.43 and rose slightly to $449.40 on January 10th (the day after the Chiefs victory). In January, the average ticket price reached a high of $468.08 on the 12th but has dropped $50 through this week.\nIt is the only matchup in the Division Round that has an average ticket price over the $400 level, as the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks matchup ranks second with an average ticket price of $390.15 and a get-in price of $156.\nPatriots fans outside of the local area can book a Boston flight through Hipmunk.com for Saturday afternoon\u2019s game. Hipmunk also has available Boston hotels starting from $99 per night, which provides multiple viable options to get to and from the stadium.\nSaturday\u2019s matchup will be the only Patriots home game of the postseason unless the Denver Broncos fall to the Pittsburgh Steelers.",

Hey, I signed a contract for six years. They signed a contract for six years. It\u2019s very, very rare when both sides honor that. A lot of guys get let go in the last year or restructure the last year. Or for example guys play one good year and they want to re-up.\n\u201cSo, for me, this is the commitment I made.

        "title": "Why Canada needs a conversation about fair wages | Broadbent Institute",
        "raw_content": "Why Canada needs a conversation about fair wages\nPosted by David Green\nTo mark the launch of \u2018Inequality and the Fading of Redistributive Politics\u2019, a seminal new edited volume on inequality in Canada, the Broadbent Institute is featuring a series of posts from the book\u2019s contributors. Today, we present a piece from economist and Broadbent Fellow David Green.\nIn the mid-1990s, Canada went through a policy paradigm shift, one that had far-reaching implications for the employment opportunities and wages of Canadian workers.\nA prolonged period of low employment rates and stagnant real wages had raised fears that Canada was in danger of falling into the sclerotic patterns of Europe instead of the dynamic patterns of the US.\nThe fact that the US was leading the world in employment and wages resonated, Canada being particularly prone to looking south to our neighbour for comparison. The policy response in both federal and provincial governments was to adopt the outlook of the OECD\u2019s Jobs Strategy: labour markets must be made flexible (as the US market was perceived to be) or the outcome would be dire.\nThe antidote was to reform transfer policies, making both Social Assistance and Unemployment Insurance harder to access and more linked to skills development; to cut taxes; and to try to reform the role of institutions like unions and worker legal protections that were perceived as calcifying the economic engine.\nMany developed nations took on this same approach but in some ways Canada was the poster-boy.\nWe can look at the policy shift in the mid-90s as a sort of grand bargain with labour (though, importantly, one that was never formally proposed or accepted): the social safety net and worker protections would be weakened but, in return, a better functioning economy would generate more jobs and better wages. As we approach another federal budget, it is useful to ask two questions: is Ottawa still following the \u201cflexibility\u201d paradigm? And has that paradigm delivered on its side of the bargain?\nTo answer the first question, the Harper government not only continues to believe in the flexibility paradigm \u2014 they have taken it to a whole new level. This government seems paranoid that wage increases could choke off economic growth. How else can one explain their interventions into wage bargaining, in some cases even after the firm and the workers had reached a deal? How else can one explain bringing in Temporary Foreign Workers (TFW) that can be paid a lower wage to fill jobs at coffee shops?\nThe TFW program in particular reveals a government obsessed with keeping wages low and reveals what I view as a fundamental misunderstanding of how labour markets work. Increased demand for labour in the West has resulted in substantial wage increases for all kinds of workers. Those increased wages send signals to workers in other parts of Canada and to young people deciding what skills to invest in about where there is demand. The increased wages may slow down development in parts of the economy that are over-heating, but it\u2019s not clear that is a bad outcome.\nIncreased wages are how we share the benefits of economic growth among a wide range of people in our society. It\u2019s hard to see the fairness in policies that seek to stamp out wage increases wherever possible.\nBut this raises the second question \u2013 has the policy of increased labour market flexibility worked? Has it delivered a better life for most Canadians?\nThe short answer is no. To answer this more fully, we have to cut the data by region. Between 1980 and the early 2000\u2019s the economy performed badly in terms of real wages. Real wages fell for both men and women starting a new job and whose highest education was a high school diploma or less (an education group making up about 50% of the male labour force). For males, real wages fell by nearly 20% in virtually all provinces.\nSince the mid-2000s, real wages in Ontario and the East have essentially stagnated so that workers entering new jobs are making less in real terms than their fathers did 30 years before. One could argue that the wages haven\u2019t gotten worse since the mid-90s paradigm shift but its hard to see how the new paradigm is delivering in terms of wages in this part of the country.\nIn the West, and particularly Alberta, the story is different. Real wages have risen dramatically since the mid-2000s. Though, so far, that has only gotten workers back to about the real wage levels their fathers earned. It would be hard to argue that these increases are due to the policy shift. They have much more to do with global resource price movements that are beyond the influence of Canadian policy.\nWhat about employment rates (the ratio of the number of people employed to the total working age population)? The overall employment rate did improve after the mid-1990s, eventually surpassing that in the US. But a closer look at the data reveals a more nuanced story.\nThe employment rate improved largely because of increases in the education level of the labour force. More importantly, the participation rate (the ratio of people looking for work or working to the population) for high school or less educated males and females of working age has dropped. For males, the drops are on the order of 10 percentage points since 1990. It\u2019s hard to over-state the magnitude of this drop relative to anything we\u2019ve seen before. We don\u2019t know much about what these people are doing, but it seems clear that if the flexible labour market policy was meant to create a better jobs environment, there is a substantial set of people who have decided it hasn\u2019t worked.\nOverall, the policy package pursued by governments at both the provincial and federal levels since the mid-90s can hardly be seen as a resounding success. If the bargain on offer was that governments would reduce the amount of insurance inherent in the social safety and in return working people would get better and more secure labour market outcomes, the value of that bargain is, at the very least, questionable.\nIt is past time for us to have a meaningful debate about the effectiveness of this bundle of policies and ideas that continue to hold sway, and to open up a discussion about the role of fair wages in our society.\nDavid Green is a professor in the Vancouver School of Economics at UBC and a Broadbent Fellow.\nPhoto: Sweet One.

        "raw_content": "Renee Griffin | Friday, September 2, 2016\nQuestion after question at a Monday press conference was about the lack of certainty at the quarterback position in the season-opening matchup between Texas and No. 10 Notre Dame.\nIt wasn\u2019t Irish head coach Brian Kelly answering those questions, though. It was Longhorns head coach Charlie Strong, who is similarly faced with a choice between two quarterbacks he calls \u201cgood players.\u201d\nAnd, like Kelly, Strong refused to announce just one as starter, with senior Tyrone Swoopes or true freshman Shane Buechele as his two options. Two former contenders, sophomore Jerrod Heard and freshman Kai Locksley, recently switched to receiver.\nLonghorns senior quarterback Tyrone Swoopes evades Irish junior safety Drue Tranquill during last year\u2019s 38-3 Irish home win Sept. 5.\nHowever, while Strong won\u2019t make his decision public until the two teams run out of the tunnel Sunday, he said he has a good idea of who he wants to start.\nStrong, who is entering his third year at Texas after two losing seasons, also said that both Swoopes and Buechele will see the field, but went on to emphasize that the starter would be getting the majority of the work.\n\u201cWhen we name the quarterback, he is our starter and he will be the starter unless he gets beat out or something happens to him,\u201d Strong said.\nLeadership is among the most important factors in making the decision, Strong said.\n\u201cYou\u2019ve got to have someone who can win the team over and the players feel comfortable with that player, and then it\u2019s got to be someone who can just manage your offense and execute the offense,\u201d Strong said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been practicing, we\u2019ve been seeing who can do that, so that\u2019s what the decision is going to come down to.\u201d\nTexas senior receiver Jacorey Warrick said both players seemed to fit that description.\n\u201cBoth guys are well respected on this team, and both guys are more than capable of running this offense,\u201d Warrick said. \u201cThey\u2019re both leaders. They both have skill sets that can contribute to this offense and running this offense.\u201d\nSwoopes was the starting quarterback for Texas in last year\u2019s opener, when Notre Dame defeated the Longhorns 38-3. He went 7-of-22 for 93 yards and was benched in week 2. He didn\u2019t start again until the final game of the season.\nIn 2014, he started every game but the opener and won five of them, as he threw 13 touchdowns along with 11 interceptions. However, Strong said the new offensive system being instituted by first-year offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert offers Swoopes \u2014 and the rest of the offense that struggled en route to a 5-7 record in 2015 \u2014 a chance to improve.\nBuechele obviously has no track record at the collegiate level, and there is no bigger stage than a revenge matchup with the Irish for him to step into the college game for the first time. However, the 6-foot-1 native of Arlington, Texas, was ranked highly coming out of high school, and Strong described him as a \u201cgym rat.\u201d\n\u201cBuechele\u2019s done well and he\u2019s competed well,\u201d Strong said via teleconference. \u201cYou have a good QB battle going.\n\u201c \u2026 The thing about Buechele is he\u2019s always willing to learn, always around the ball, always in the classroom doing what he needs to do.\u201d\nStrong said the quarterback competition has not affected the team\u2019s performance and minset in practice. He also differentiated between the choice he\u2019s faced with and the one Brian Kelly is making \u2014 or, rather, declining to make \u2014 between incumbent junior DeShone Kizer and now-healthy senior Malik Zaire.\n\u201cOur problem is a little different,\u201d Strong said when comparing Notre Dame\u2019s situation with his own. \u201cYou\u2019re looking at [Swoopes], a guy who\u2019s going coming into his senior year, then you have a freshman who\u2019s sitting there and they\u2019re battling it out. We haven\u2019t made such a big deal about it.\u201d\nTags: Charlie Strong, Insider: Texas, Irish Insider, Texas\nAUSTIN, Texas \u2014 Despite trailing 31-14 early in the third quarter, the win was...\nSecondary confident heading into Texas\nHead to head: Notre Dame at Texas",

Remember, that,\u2026it\u2019s all; for your own Glory!... For this reason, alone,\u2026we need to; bow our knees, before our living-God!...\nMay He, (Jehovah and/or Yahweh, His Glorious-Name); grant you, (dear-reader and friends); to be strengthened with His Power, through His appointed Holy-Spirit,\u2026in your inner-being\u2026(see, Ephesians 3:16).\nYes, Father, Son and Holy-Spirit,\u2026are indeed; uniquely proper, separate from one another, each deserving their own crown-of-righteousness,\u2026yet: always working as,\u2026\u201dOne-in-Spirit!\u201d...\nWe are those, well-rooted and grounded in their Love!... It\u2019s why the Son-of-God, indwells in our hearts. All, because of our exercised Faith!...(verse, 17). Our goal is to be filled with all the fullness of His Father-in-Heaven!...(verse, 19). The Son, has been for centuries past,\u2026misinterpreted and misunderstood; the religious order of the today, has made Jesus,\u2026out-to-be: God, Himself!...\nAll, simply because Jesus happens to represent,\u2026His Father, (as God\u2019s own, Advocate); in the, \u201cFullness\u201d,\u2026of our Creator!... Remember, always,\u2026that; (\u201cTO-GOD,\u2026BE-ALL,\u2026THE-GLORY\u201d)!...\nThis was the Son\u2019s own, out-cry,\u2026daily. All that Jesus did and said, was with the sole-purpose of giving His God and Father-in-Heaven,\u2026all the Glory!... Don\u2019t forget that, it was the very same Roman Culture,\u2026who, crucified Jesus; only to later, (in 321 A.D.); adopt His teachings and make Him into a god, adding Jesus alongside their existing entourage,\u2026of other: lesser-gods!... Amen.\nAnd, so,\u2026this pagan-practice, still prevails today; as we clearly witness Catholicism and its many, (\u201cknock-off\u201d),\u2026branches there-of, still prevailing: as they erroneously practice, the Trinity-Doctrine!... Amen.\n\u201cOUR-BOLDNESS,\u2026COMES,\u2026WITH-CONFIDENCE!\u201d\u2026\nWe are stewards, (just like our apostle Paul); of God\u2019s-Grace, which has been extended to us, (His Son\u2019s-Faithful-Followers): for you, the unbelieving and the undecided,\u2026world!...(see, Ephesians 3:2).\nThe very mysteries of God\u2019s-Word, are made known to us,\u2026by revelation; not by any man and/or woman\u2019s, personal teachings\u2026(verse, 3). It is by the appointed, Holy-Spirit,\u2026that we are; shown these hidden-treasures of old\u2026(verse, 5). The core message, of this mystery,\u2026is that; non-Jews today, can also become joint-heirs with the Son-of-God,\u2026in His Father\u2019s-Kingdom!...(verse, 6).\nIt\u2019s by the workings of God\u2019s own Power, delegated and dispersed to and by,\u2026this Holy-Spirit; that we are commissioned as ministers, of this message (gospel and/or good-news)\u2026(verse, 7). To me, though I am the very least of all the saints,\u2026(meaning, those set-apart ones, chosen for this very task at hand); this extended Grace-of-God, (Jehovah, His Precious-Name); was given to me, so that I may in turn,\u2026share it: with you, (dear-reader and friends)\u2026(verse, 8).\nYes, it is through this Church-of-Christ,\u2026(and its many membered body); that we today, reveal the very wisdom of our Creator,\u2026expressed best; through the, (\u201cPersona\u201d), of His only begotten Son, (Jesus-of-Nazareth): passed-down unto us,\u2026the believers!...\nAll-things, are according to the eternal purpose,\u2026that our Maker; has finally realized, in His Son,\u2026our appointed: Lord and Saviour!...(verse, 11). Yes, friends,\u2026(\u201cOUR-BOLDNESS,\u2026COMES,\u2026WITH-CONFIDENCE\u201d)!... We, today know that access to our Heavenly-Father,\u2026is possible; all because of His Son\u2019s already accomplished deeds!...(verse, 12). Amen.\n\u201cMINE,\u2026IS-A-PRACTICED,\u2026REALITY\u201d\u2026\nSince Jesus, descended from His Father\u2019s Abode,\u2026we call Him, Heavenly; since Adam, was created from the Earth\u2019s dust,\u2026we call him: Earthly!... Adam, was given a bride,\u2026developed by God; working and shaping her, all from one of Adam\u2019s own ribs!...\nJesus, is also being given a Bride,\u2026by His Father, (Jehovah, His Excellent-Name); drawing all those, of God\u2019s own choosing,\u2026toward His Son!... Yes, God draws all the hearts,\u2026who are seeking spiritual-understanding; toward His only begotten, (Jesus-of-Nazareth)!... And, so,\u2026we are those; who pursue incessantly, the very things of God,\u2026yes: Heavenly-Things!...\nOut of the many membered Body-of-Christ, shall rise His Bride!... This will be a selected portion, highly-favored by His Father-in-Heaven!... Who, shall they be?... Who of us, has the seed-of-Christ,\u2026within them; just like the Son, is seed of His own God and Father?... Yes, Jesus is indeed,\u2026the \u201cexpressed-image\u201d; of our living-God!... This doesn\u2019t make Him, the person of God,\u2026but instead; Jesus, represents God\u2019s own,\u2026(\u201cPersona\u201d)!...\nAs we also, should strive in being,\u2026the \u201cexpressed-image\u201d; of His Son!... But, folks,\u2026somehow; we have allowed confusion, to reign in our minds and hearts. To be an \u201cexpressed-image\u201d, and/or a personification of someone,\u2026is (Not) the same; as being the, \u201cde-facto\u201d,\u2026image: of that same person. Yes, we (The Faithful-Believers),\u2026often \u201cexpress-ourselves\u201d; through much figurative-speech!...\nBut, we identify ourselves,\u2026concretely; by manner or matter-of-fact!... Or,\u2026\u201cde-facto\u201d\u2026 Yes, Jesus-of-Nazareth is indeed,\u2026perfectly-typed!... He mirrors His Father\u2019s-Virtues, like no other,\u2026yes; in unmatched ways, Jesus has demonstrated an exemplary Obedience unto completing His Father\u2019s will. Father and Son, are reflecting and desiring most,\u2026that; we all come to an earnest repentance, a true change of heart and lifestyle,\u2026and receive: this free-gift of Salvation!... Amen.\nWho of us, will change our old-ways?... Who of us, in the end,\u2026shall receive; eternal-life?... The trouble today, is that most folks,\u2026are sowing religion; they sow, \u201cdoctrines-of-devils\u201d,\u2026creating all these countless, denominational groups,\u2026dividing instead of uniting: our brethren. Is your seed, (dear-reader and friends); sown these days, in the very likeness of Christ-Jesus?... Oh\u2019, how I pray,\u2026so!...\nMany are reaping and/or re-producing, only themselves,\u2026with their pompous-practices; and vain-glories!... Yes, these very same,\u2026have forgotten; that Jesus must increase, as we must,\u2026decrease: more and more, each day of our personal lives. Who of us, truly yearns to be in the image,\u2026of Jesus?... Who of us, will be restored back to the,\u2026Faith; once delivered to the early Church, (or Body-of-Christ)?...\nMay we all be reminded, that those who possess righteous seeds,\u2026will reap, righteousness; come this Heavenly-Harvest-Time!... Ours, are sacrifices through repentance,\u2026and Obedience. We are those, who possess the \u201cUnction\u201d. And, we are (Not),\u2026ashamed; of the Name-of-Jesus!...\nFriends, there are many religions,\u2026whereas; ours is a practiced-reality!... Yes, many practice countless philosophies. But, know this to be most,\u2026true; there is only, One-Way!... Almighty-God, will recognize no other sacrifice,\u2026besides; Christ-Jesus!... Many of you, are trying to come up,\u2026another way; Jesus told us,\u2026you would.\nMany are those, trying to,\u2026\u201dSave-Themselves\u201d; by keeping traditions-of-men. It amazes me, to see honest-folks,\u2026thinking themselves; that they, by doing certain acts and/or by abstaining from certain-things,\u2026can actually; possess the necessary Power, to Save themselves!... For these, we must pray,\u2026incessantly!... Amen.\n24302530_475837289484110_220689494276308992_n.gif (410.28 KiB) Viewed 2056 times\n\u201cREAD-THIS,\u2026IT-BEHOOVES,\u2026YOU!\u201d\u2026\nFriends, our Apostle John,\u2026wrote to the; seven, (7) churches established in the first-century, (A.D.)\u2026\nMany, have taught that,\u2026these churches; typified different church-ages, spanning from the Day-of-Pentecost,\u2026until now: with the Laodicean-Church, representing our modern-age!...(read, Revelation 3:14).\nAmong the Protestant sector, there\u2019s no argument that,\u2026The Roman-Catholic-Church; is the \u201cWhore that sits on many waters!\u201d\u2026(described in Revelation chapter 17).\nBut, it seems that,\u2026only, God\u2019s own; remnant-class of people, has been given the necessary unction,\u2026to fully understand; that-this, \u201cWhore\u201d, is a fornicator. And, as a result,\u2026she, (The Catholic-Church); has brought-forth, many illegitimate children!...(read, Revelation 17:5).\nDo yourselves, a favor and read this chapter,\u2026in its entirety!...\nThese, \u201cDaughters\u201d; came-out of this Universal-Organization!... She birthed them. Keep in mind, she is their,\u2026Mother. And, these daughters resemble in some ways,\u2026their Mother. The characteristics of this, \u201cMother\u201d; are visible in the form of many perversions!...\nShe, taints completely,\u2026the true, Church-of-Christ; and the original gospel-message. This, \u201cMother-of-Harlots\u201d; represents the very spirit of the anti-Christ!... She imitates, the real Jesus!...(read, 1st John 2:19).\nAnd, the anti-Christ possesses a semblance,\u2026of truth; twisting ever-so-slightly, the very written,\u2026Word-of-God!...(Jehovah, His Excellent-Name). I ask you, (dear-reader and friends); did Satan, not beguile,\u2026Eve?...\nThis was, what corrupted the early-church of Galatia. Please read, (Galatians 1:6-7). They do teach, the gospel. But, a twisted-and-perverted,\u2026 version. I pray, that,\u2026\u201dThis be, your wake-up call\u201d\u2026 Amen.\nIn, (1st John 4:3); our Apostle John, declares this dark-spirit,\u2026to be already present; in our world. In, (2nd Thessalonians 2:7); our Apostle Paul, states that-the,\u2026\u201dMystery-of-Iniquity\u201d; was already working, in the early-church!...\nTherefore, \u201cMystery Babylon, the Mother-of-Harlots\u201d,\u2026is in fact; the very manifestation, of the anti-Christ\u2019s spirit,\u2026present: in our world, even today. Since the time, of Martin Luther,\u2026hundreds of Christian-Organizations, and Denominations; have sprouted-forth!...\nAlthough, they seemingly separate themselves from the,\u2026Catholic-Church; the real-truth, is that they accept-and-promote,\u2026many of the: \u201cdoctrines-of-devils\u201d, of this Roman-Church!...\nIt would,\u2026(\u201cBEHOOVE,\u2026YOU\u201d),\u2026to carefully examine, \u201cHer!\u201d\u2026\nTheir teachings, do (Not),\u2026coincide with Christ\u2019s!... Remember, that,\u2026Jesus, said; \u201cBeware of the leaven, of the Pharisees!\u201d\u2026 For, theirs is truly,\u2026a false-doctrine; generated and deeply rooted, in Catholicism!...\nAccording to the epistles, of both Paul-and-John,\u2026there were people; filled with this spirit-of-anti-Christ, which came-out of the original,\u2026true-Church: in its infancy. Think about this, for one moment. Could it be, that the true,\u2026Church-of-Christ; must now, come-out of this anti-Christ,\u2026church-system?...\nIs this, the command of God,\u2026to His chosen people, today?...(read, Revelation 18:4). Amen.\n1935794_812653215533634_9038713414612829556_n (1).jpg (57.71 KiB) Viewed 2040 times\n\u201cGOD,\u2026HAVE,\u2026MERCY!\u201d\u2026\nFriends, please keep this truth,\u2026Alive!...\nKnow in your hearts-and-minds, that the spirit of the anti-Christ,\u2026was already working; in the early, Apostolic-Times!...\nMany, have never possessed,\u2026that Glorious-Faith; which was first delivered, by the Son-of-God!...(Jesus-of-Nazareth). Our Apostle Paul, would write to the various established churches,\u2026saying-in-effect; \u201cI can\u2019t believe that, you are so,\u2026soon; removed from Jesus\u2019, original teachings and from His Father-in-Heaven,\u2026who; has called you!\u201d\u2026\nThey were being led-astray.

Take a good look around you, and then tell me,\u2026that-things; haven\u2019t gotten, out-of-hand!...\nFolks, Satan today is having a real,\u2026Hay-Day!... Let us, all,\u2026remember, Jesus\u2019 own wording; do you recall, the parable about sowing-seeds,\u2026in the Earth?... There are two-types of seeds, being sown. The true-seed and the false-seed!...\nJesus, called them,\u2026wheat-and-tares. He said, that He,\u2026(The Son-of-God); sowed the wheat. And, that,\u2026the Devil; sowed the tares\u2026(read, Matthew 13:30). These two-types of seeds, are to remain together,\u2026in the world; until God\u2019s chosen, Day-and-Hour of His own,\u2026reckoning!...\nA cry, to come-out of this present,\u2026system-of-things; and of separating ourselves, from worldly-things,\u2026is truly: centuries old. Friends, the true-seed are those,\u2026who, in earnest; are always seeking truth, and righteousness!...\nYes, we,\u2026(Jesus-Faithful-Followers); are very different, a most peculiar people and very zealous,\u2026for the written: Word-of-God!...(Jehovah, His Precious-Name). These others, called the tares,\u2026demonstrate; careless lifestyles, worldly-longings and are extremely,\u2026materialistic!...\nOften-times, these very same,\u2026are; merely casual, concerning the very things,\u2026of: Almighty-God!...\nMany more, are those professing a belief in the Son-of-God,\u2026calling themselves; Christians!... But, our living-God,\u2026is, (Not); mocked. He knows, those who are,\u2026His!...\nFolks, the Church-of-Christ,\u2026is, (Not); a building or gathering place. This Church, is called the many-member-body,\u2026of Christ; we are those, chosen-few, (a true, remnant-class of people). We don\u2019t find, many on Fire,\u2026for Jesus!...\nToday\u2019s generations, prefer to focus on their prosperity,\u2026boasting-proudly; of their often, ill-gotten-gains. Although religious, in their outward appearances,\u2026these very same; have compromised the fundamental teachings, of Jesus!...\nYes, they have freely-and-willingly,\u2026given themselves, over-to-many; \u201cdoctrines-of-devils!\u201d\u2026\nTheirs, is a mere shadow-form of,\u2026godliness. But, they deny the Power!...(read, 2nd Timothy 3:5). The Son-of-God, knows your works. Jesus\u2019 own God, convicts and He also,\u2026draws!...(read, John 6:44). Many, charismatic-churches,\u2026resemble, night-clubs; with their vaulted-ceilings, and walls painted-dark!...\nThey install, mood-lighting and laser-lights,\u2026flickering; as their bands, sound-out the latest contemporary,\u2026Christian-Music. They fail, miserably,\u2026at trying to manifest; the Holy-Spirit\u2019s-Presence!...\nProsperity, has gotten many,\u2026so far, from God; they cannot hear, His Voice!...\nThey are rich, in the wrong-things. The Love of our Father, is (Not),\u2026in them. We have been forewarned. Have you, read it?... Oh\u2019, how I pray,\u2026so!... Our Creator, Himself,\u2026sends you; strong-delusion. Because of your Love, of this world!...\nThat\u2019s-right!... He keeps millions, in a constant-state of derision,\u2026as the very; \u201cSpirit-of-Stupor\u201d, possesses their person. Is there any Hope?... Or have we, all,\u2026simply-gone; too far?... You can\u2019t seem, to clearly see,\u2026that; material prosperity, is Satan\u2019s best-weaponry!...\nAnd, it robs you of the True-Power,\u2026of the Spirit!...\nYour sins, have found you,\u2026still wanting; remember that, Jesus-Loves-You!...

Amen.\n\u201cLET\u2019S-ALL,\u2026ATTAIN-THIS,\u2026FULLNESS!\u201d\u2026\nWith our acquired spiritual-knowledge, let us all equip our brethren and even those,\u2026who remain undecided; for this work of ministry, yes,\u2026for the building-up (or edifying); of Christ\u2019s-Body and it\u2019s many membered cast.\nLet us attain Unity in our Faith and knowledge, of God\u2019s own Son!...(Jesus-of-Nazareth); may we all mature, to the measure of His Father\u2019s-Fullness!... Just as the Son, is filled with the very spiritual-stature,\u2026of His God and Father-in-Heaven; so can we, also,\u2026(\u201cATTAIN,\u2026THIS,\u2026FULLNESS\u201d)!...(see, Ephesians 4:13).\nFriends, let us no longer be,\u2026as children; tossed to and fro, by the waves and carried about,\u2026by every wind-of-doctrine: by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes!...(verse, 14). Let us have, no more divisions amongst ourselves.\nNo more, pompous-principles and tall-tales. Let your true identity, be that of acting like a child of our living-God!... Let us be, grown-up in every way,\u2026into the very wisdom, exercised; by Jesus!... For, He mirrors perfectly,\u2026His Father-in-Heaven!...\nWe, (His,\u2026Faithful,\u2026Followers); shall no longer walk in the futility, of our own past endeavors,\u2026and perverted minds; no more putrid-principles. No longer, shall we remain darkened in our understanding of spiritual-matters,\u2026alienated from; the very life-style that, our Creator intended for us,\u2026to live: all because of our past, ignorance.\nAll due, to our hardened-hearts!...(verse, 18). And, until the return of our appointed Saviour,\u2026we will continue to pray most; for those who have become calloused and have given themselves up,\u2026to sensuality, greedy to practice: every kind of impurity!...(verse, 19) Amen.\n\u201cDISCERN-WELL,\u2026ALL-THINGS!\u201d\u2026\nFriends, may we, (Jesus\u2019-Faithful-Followers); never be identified with the, \u201cGreat-Whore\u201d: of Revelation!...\nThere\u2019s no doubt, in our hearts-and-minds,\u2026that, Jesus-of-Nazareth; is returning for a perfect-church, without spot, wrinkle-or-blemish, (spiritually-speaking)!...(read, Ephesians 5:27; 2nd Peter 3:14).\nYes, a true,\u2026Church-of-Christ; which knows all too well, the real-truths with regards to,\u2026the Father-and-Son!... For, they are truly,\u2026two-separate, personages. One, giving Himself up,\u2026as a fragrant; offering-and-sacrifice, to His own God and Father-in-Heaven!...(Jehovah, His Glorious-Name)\u2026(read, Ephesians 5:2).\nFolks, were Jesus to be God,\u2026then-this, (our Bible); was all written-in-vain, and for naught. It would make God, out-to-be a most conceited,\u2026Creator!...\nAll-the-contrary, is most,\u2026true. He looks to, His own Creation,\u2026to Glorify, Him; the Creator of all-things. Jesus, being there,\u2026even, before; the very Angelic-Realm, was ever thought-out,\u2026to be. Over-and-over, again-and-again,\u2026our Bible; demonstrates countless times, the subservient-and-submissive posture,\u2026of God\u2019s-Son!...\nJesus, takes a back-seat, (if you will); in relation to His Superior!... One, rules over the other. And, at the same time,\u2026the other; freely and willingly, yields to the Most-High-God!... Could we, do the same?... Oh\u2019, how I pray,\u2026so!...\nKnow this truth, to be absolute and precise. Jesus-of-Nazareth, remains still in total,\u2026\u201dSubjection\u201d; to this Most-High-God!... Just as we, (who-believe); have also, subjected our all,\u2026unto: the Son-of-God, our Lord-and-Saviour!...\nFriends, we cannot teach that,\u2026Jesus, was empowered; and ordained by God, to later say,\u2026in contradiction, that: Jesus is God, Himself!...\nYet, millions have fallen into a constant state-of-derision,\u2026stupefied; and with pompous-principles, these very same,\u2026call themselves: the religious of this world. We make void and completely annul, the lesson of a greater-gain,\u2026as a direct-result, of our sacrifices; if we deny the Father, the anguish He felt,\u2026witnessing: His Son\u2019s-Sacrifice!...\nYes, this was done,\u2026with hopes, that; you come to realize, the price of our present-and-fallen,\u2026state of affairs. It is, because of our physical distancing,\u2026from our own, Creator; that we are truly, as nothing,\u2026without, Father-and-Son: indwelling in our personal-lives!...\nJesus, felt forsaken,\u2026as He, hung; on that horrendous, Roman-Cross!...\n\u201cMy-God, My-God,\u2026why, has Thou; forsaken Me?\u201d\u2026(Jesus, speaking). Let\u2019s remember, that no guile,\u2026was ever found; to be uttered, from our Jesus\u2019 own mouth. It is the ignorant and the unstable, who twist our Holy-Scriptures,\u2026to their own; demise!...(read, 2nd Peter 3:16-17).\nTherefore, take care that,\u2026you, (dear-reader and friends); are not carried-away, with the error of lawless people. And lose, your own mental stability,\u2026by following; \u201cdoctrines-of-devils!\u201d\u2026\nRemember that, the wheat, (meaning, we believers); and the tares, (meaning, those who have sown; discord-and-lies); are allowed to grow, together,\u2026unto: maturity!...\nIt\u2019s at our maturity, that the tares, (distinguished differently in appearance, and in beliefs; at this stage); shall be reaped and thrown in the Fire!...\nOnly, the (Golden),\u2026wheat; shall be harvested and placed, right-inside our Lord\u2019s,\u2026own: Saving-Sheepfold!...(spiritually-speaking).\nI pray, that,\u2026\u201dYou come to discern-well, all-things!\u201d\u2026 Amen.\n\u201cTHIS-WAS,\u2026DONE-FOR-YOU!\u201d\u2026\nFolks, let us not give opportunity to our biggest Adversary, (Satan, himself),\u2026and to his, demonic-insurgents; let no corrupting talk, come out of your mouths. But, only such as is good,\u2026for building-up (or edifying); as fits each occasion, that it may (in the end),\u2026give grace: to all those, who hear us!...(see, Ephesians 4:29).\nFriends, our Faith is blindly,\u2026exercised; but, with much hope,\u2026behind it, indeed; it is through hearing the Word-of-God, that we either believe it,\u2026or not. If we choose to embrace, what we listen to,\u2026then it begins; to take root and seeds itself, into our minds!...\nOnce cultivated from a reflected thought, it begins to mature into a grounded belief. This Word-of-God, then proceeds to embed itself,\u2026within the inner-chambers; of our hearts. Soon, there-after,\u2026these deep chambers; begin to over-flow abundantly. To the very point, that all stored knowledge,\u2026begins to spew-out; in the form of wisdom, by means of our lips!...\nYes, (dear-reader); we are those, who freely profess and openly testify,\u2026to God\u2019s-Word!... We have been forgiven, by our living-God,\u2026through the already accomplished deeds; of His only begotten Son!...(Jesus-of-Nazareth).\nYes, Jesus\u2019 own God and Father-in-Heaven,\u2026does all the forgiving; because His Son, willingly Obeyed all that was delegated,\u2026unto Him: to fulfill. Jesus met His Father\u2019s criteria. Jesus, knew there would be,\u2026many riches; He was foreshown, what His Father\u2019s recompense,\u2026would ultimately be; given to Jesus, in return for His own compliance,\u2026to such arduous: requests!...\nThe Son, became humanity\u2019s own,\u2026\u201dSacrificial-Lamb!\u201d\u2026 It was God\u2019s call, to be like this. Yet, millions ignorantly continue to blend the two,\u2026as if they were; one in the same person.\nTo those, who choose to believe in a,\u2026\u201dTriune-God\u201d; just know that, you make void and annul completely,\u2026the very set-forth terms; of Almighty-God, regarding our eternal tomorrow. God\u2019s terms, required the shedding of blood,\u2026necessary for making atonement; only a direct descendant of God, could meet this stringent criteria,\u2026of being blameless!...\nYes, only His Son,\u2026was, what; finally sufficed our Creator!... Amen.\n\u201cIN-THAT-COURSE,\u2026OF,\u2026THAT-QUEST!\u201d\u2026\nFolks, we corrupt ourselves,\u2026by means of our own; deceitful-desires\u2026(see, Ephesians 4:22). Let\u2019s always remember, that we were created in the likeness,\u2026of our living-God!...(verse, 24).\nJust like His Son, was also created in the image of,\u2026Almighty-God!... But, friends,\u2026this doesn\u2019t mean; that we are God, Himself!... Anymore, than,\u2026Jesus; is God, Himself!...\nA mirror, reflects our likeness,\u2026exactly; yet, it is made up of polished glass,\u2026a by-product: of sand, (its original constituent). The same is true, with us. We were created, by Divine-Design,\u2026to mirror perfectly; our Creator!...\nYes, branches of the same Tree,\u2026yet; each one displaying our own leaves. Each blossoming its own flower, although all happen to belong,\u2026to the same constituent: of that one trunk and/or tree. We often rush to conclusions, it\u2019s been our inherent down-fall,\u2026as humans-beings.\nAll, done in the name of feeding our insatiable hunger,\u2026that of wanting to know; \u201call-things!\u201d\u2026 And, (\u201cIN-THAT-COURSE,\u2026OF,\u2026THAT-QUEST\u201d), we have inherited a curse,\u2026called; Sin!... We\u2019ve disobeyed God and His original instructions. Yes, it\u2019s all because of disobedience. Isn\u2019t this why, we ourselves chastise our children?...\nYes, friends,\u2026we are chastised by God; because He Loves us. Spare the Rod, spoil the child!...\nLet us put away, this falsehood thinking,\u2026that indeed; we know it, all. Nothing could be further from the truth. Pull yourself up, from this Devil\u2019s snare. Rushing to conclude, has been one of this Dark-One\u2019s,\u2026best weaponry. He uses it daily, against us,\u2026(Jesus\u2019-Faithful-Followers)!...\nAnd, this old-serpent knocks down,\u2026millions of his subjects; into this Abyss, with the lure of us wanting always,\u2026to know: what is good, from evil. Tell me, (dear-reader and friends); how\u2019s it working for you, so far?...\nAre you not, puffed-up with your own,\u2026putrid-principles; and have you not, hardened your hearts,\u2026with your own: haughtiness?... Amen.\n\u201cNO-MORE,\u2026SPOON-FED,\u2026HERE-SAYS\u201d\u2026\nFolks, Christ\u2019s Resurrection, is the guarantee of our,\u2026own.\nThank You, Father-in-Heaven,\u2026\u201dFor the hope that, the Resurrection of Your Son (Jesus-of-Nazareth),\u2026brings us, all (who believe); for now and for all of eternity, (yet future). Today, I put my complete trust in Jesus!\u201d\u2026 Amen.\nScars, (dear-reader and friends), never seem to completely go away. But, neither do they tend to hurt,\u2026any longer. I look forward, to our re-created and incorruptible bodies. And, what will we say,\u2026about; our New Heaven and our New Earth?... (see, Revelation 21:4). Yes, we will have a new start.\nMeanwhile, as we wait for the return of our Lord and Saviour,\u2026let us remember, that; He rarely makes His presence known, in places or times,\u2026expected. He typically appears, when and where,...we (His Faithful Followers); least expect Him. And, always in the most illogical,\u2026connections.\nThe only way, we stewards of His gospel,\u2026can keep true, to His Father-in-Heaven; is by being ready, for our Lord\u2019s return. Remember, even Jesus doesn\u2019t know,\u2026the day; nor the hour!... It\u2019s going to be a complete and total, surprise for everyone!... Yet, this fact is proof enough for the skeptics,\u2026that, Jesus; is (Not) God, Himself,\u2026as so many: erroneously have taught, for centuries past.\nOtherwise, Jesus would be lying to us and even,\u2026to Himself; by hiding this all too important, future historical event,\u2026of His own: return to Earth!... Folks, God does not lie; nor does His only begotten Son!... If Jesus does (Not) know the Day, nor the Hour of His very own return,\u2026then this proves; that He is uniquely proper, separate as an individual entity,\u2026completely apart and different than our living-God, yet: One-in-Unity, One-in-Love and One-in-Cause with His God and Father-in-Heaven!...\nLet us never deny, the already set-forth terms and conditions of mankind\u2019s own eternal tomorrow,\u2026all done; by Jesus\u2019 own God and Father-in-Heaven!... Amen.\nI pray, that He (Not) catch us,\u2026in our unawares. Whatever road we are traveling on today, may webe always ready for Jesus-of-Nazareth,\u2026to make Himself known to us; in new and surprising ways.\nLord, Jesus,\u2026\u201dOpen our eyes, (spiritually), to see You more clearly,\u2026as; our risen Saviour!... And, Your Father\u2019s appointed King, to preside over David\u2019s Throne,\u2026ruling; over Your Father\u2019s chosen, remnant people. I pray, that You be constantly alongside,\u2026of each and every one, of us; as we strive in furthering along, all of Your,\u2026already finished work. Please, be with us,\u2026in every circumstance; of our daily lives!\u201d\u2026 Amen.\nFolks, Jesus can indeed be found. The real question, is; \u201cAre you, willing to seek Him?\u201d\u2026 I for one, shall proclaim Jesus\u2019 Death,\u2026and Resurrection; until the day of His inevitable return. (remember friends, only His Father-in-Heaven,\u2026knows of this event)!...\nWere our Jesus, to be God Himself,\u2026and negate the answer; regarding His very own return, back down to this Earth,\u2026this in itself: would make Jesus, out to be a liar!... Open your eyes, dear-reader,\u2026this in it; of itself, is proof sufficient,\u2026that Almighty-God is indeed; a separate and Higher Supreme-Being,\u2026when compared to His Son: Christ-Jesus!...\nThe Son, always freely admits that,\u2026all that He shares, with us; was first taught and learned, from His Heavenly Father (Jehovah and/or Yahweh, His Precious Holy Name). Yet, this world continues,\u2026with their repeated; (\u201cSpoon-Fed-Here-says\u201d)\u2026 Folks, Jesus is (Not),\u2026God; Himself!... The Son-of-God, currently sits at His Father\u2019s right-hand.\nRemember, too,\u2026that, at times; our Creator may indeed allow, our personal resources,\u2026to dwindle; so that we need to completely rely, only on His strength,\u2026to keep going. Our needs, showcase His Power!... Our living-God, shall uphold us,\u2026with His Righteous Right-Hand!... Is His Son, (Jesus); not seated there, already?... Exalted, invoked, empowered, recompensed and rewarded,\u2026for His complete; and exemplary Obedience, toward His Father\u2019s will?...\nJesus, didn\u2019t have this standing with His Father,\u2026prior to His crucifixion; or otherwise, there would be no need to declare,\u2026His current: exaltation\u2026 And, if He were to be God,\u2026as so many, erroneously profess; there would be no need, to further exalt,\u2026an already: (\u201cMost-High-God\u201d)!\u2026\nFriends, let\u2019s keep all-things,\u2026in their proper perspective; role, order, rank-n-file, Glory and Honor!...Amen.\n\u201cCOME,\u2026AND-BE-A,\u2026DOER!\u201d\u2026\nFriends, it is your own inner-spirit,\u2026and your willingness-to-obey; what God, looks at,\u2026the most!...\nThis is why, some of us,\u2026can indeed; be healed of our present infirmities, even though we may not be,\u2026strict: commandment-keepers!...\nFolks, God looks at the inner-heart of mankind,\u2026and on the motives; which are stirred-up, inside our minds. Our character, is one that must be developed,\u2026by the very choices; we make daily. And, the intent which comes to exist,\u2026within!...\nThroughout our lives, here on Earth,\u2026we, (Jesus\u2019-Faithful-Followers); must come to discern, the true and right ways,\u2026from: the false-ones. Who of us, is ready to make voluntarily,\u2026a full and unconditional, surrender; to Almighty-God?...(Jehovah, His Excellent-Name).\nWho, will yield totally,\u2026and be conquered; by our Creator?... such holy-character, (determined against our temptations and personal desires); in it of itself, is to be truly considered,\u2026a Gift-of-God!... For those few, who so decide-and-wills,\u2026God, instills; His Holy-Spirit-Power and Wisdom!...\nIt is something, \u201cpoured-out\u201d,\u2026unto those; who-believe!... It is, (Not) a third-person,\u2026within a Trinity!...\nGod\u2019s purpose, in our personal lives,\u2026is for us; to ultimately overcome, all of our trials-and-tests. Thereafter, becoming purified by His refining Fire!... Our living-God, of necessity,\u2026allows us, humans; to be free-moral-agents.\nWe either, accept His Ways,\u2026or turn, contrary; of our own, devise!...\nAs the testing ground, and our opportunity for positive-creative accomplishments,\u2026God; brought into existence, our planet. God, formed matter to be present,\u2026in both; the organic and the in-organic, states. Our Maker, reveals Himself,\u2026as Creator; of all that, is perfect!...\nWe, (much like the Angelic-Realm); were created with the power-of-thought, and of decision making,\u2026and: of personal-choice. Else, we would possess no individuality-of-character. Folks, God\u2019s-Laws are the basis for His,\u2026established Government!...\nAnd, transgression of God\u2019s-Laws,\u2026equates-to-sin; and sin, carries a penalty. For, it is an infraction of God\u2019s-Law. There cannot be, a Law,\u2026without imposing; a penalty for its infraction. This is most true, even of man-made governments!...\nDo we not, mirror the spiritual-realm,\u2026in many ways?... Of course, we do!...\nOur Heavenly-Father, is Ruler over His entire,\u2026Creation!... He preserves, what He creates by His,\u2026Law-and-Government. God, regulates all-things, as to how it shall be used,\u2026improved, developed; preserved-and-maintained!...\nSatan, by contrast,\u2026has brought; only darkness, ugliness, imperfection, and much violence. Lucifer, was a spirit-being of awesome and Majestic-Beauty,\u2026of dazzling-brightness; possessing supreme knowledge, wisdom-and-power. Yes, perfect as God Himself,\u2026had; created him!...(read, Ezekiel 28:15).\nFriends, let\u2019s remember one-thing,\u2026shall-we?... God, cannot create automatically-and-instantly,\u2026a perfect and righteous, character; in anyone. This, is up to us,\u2026to develop; on our own. So, again,\u2026God; out-of-necessity, instills in us,\u2026all, (Angels and humans, alike); the power-of-choice and of decision making!...\nOtherwise, God could not be considered,\u2026a just and loving; Creator!...\nEach of us, is uniquely-proper and distinctive,\u2026of one-another; no two entities, are ever exactly the same. This is also, true,\u2026of Father-and-Son!...(Jesus-of-Nazareth). That\u2019s-right!... Each, possesses his own role, honor and Glory!...\nOne, yielding to the,\u2026other. As they both, walk in agreeance,\u2026eternally. This is a Hierarchy-Government. Where God, rules over all-things,\u2026from the top-down. He does intend, for us all,\u2026to add; our own workmanship, to His existing Creation!...\nWe were created, to partake in all-things,\u2026by improving-and-embellishing; our surroundings. To further beautify-things, is to,\u2026\u201dput the icing, on the Cake!\u201d\u2026(sort-to-speak).\nWon\u2019t you, (dear-reader and friends); become part of these, finishing touches?... Oh\u2019, how I pray,\u2026so!...\nletters-700x454-474x300.jpg (39.06 KiB) Viewed 1944 times\n\"WORDS,...OF...WISDOM\" / (FOR-ENGLISH,\u2026SPEAKING,\u2026SAINTS)\nThe worst of men, are those who by being bad,\u2026desire to be recognized most; as men within our communities, who spend most of their time,\u2026seemingly: doing good. These very same I speak of, being most infamous,\u2026they bespeak much; of their supposed virtues.\nMost sinners are never,\u2026daring; these we can call hypocrites, because they sin against God; but not with God ... or, in God. Yes, the hypocrite,\u2026sinning against God; takes his or her own soul, and uses it as the instrument to sin. Many, are their masks,\u2026never showing; or bearing their real, faces.\nFor mankind, as for the birds of the air; this present-World, has many places where we can perch; but our true nest,...is usually: only one. Man's work in the home, is to be a sustained,\u2026work-in-progress; and as for our women, they can ensure all-things to be orderly,\u2026offering comfort: to our nest! ....\nOnly very rarely, do we console ourselves,\u2026in respect; to our great humiliations. What happens is that we forget, that we are (Not) worth more than others. We forget to be of a lowly condition, where we could then,\u2026otherwise; happily rub shoulders with humble people.\nAll the contrary, I find most folks,\u2026to be, of a lofty nature; displaying a well hidden, profound grief,\u2026bringing them: to this place, of golden sadness. There are people who although possess the ability, to dominate various languages,\u2026their customs are likened most; to those of parrots, and in respect to their life-styles,\u2026they practice: the customs of monkeys.\nThey walk around, daily,\u2026just saying; what they have heard, from others; and only seem to do, what they have seen,...others do. Folks, please recognize that,\u2026almost all the absurdities, of our behavior; are born from imitating those, whom we cannot seem,\u2026to otherwise: conquer! ...\nHe who seduces any Judge, with the prestige,\u2026of his or her eloquence; is more guilty than those, who corrupt the same Judge,\u2026with money. Please know also, that without exercising Mercy,\u2026our Justice system, tarnishes in cruelty. And Mercy, without any real Justice,...is true weakness. Yes, Justice tempered by Mercy,\u2026approximates; the Power of Almighty-God!...\nMany, are those who,\u2026wash their hands; like Pontius-Pilate, free of any guilt. But, have there ever been,\u2026any other hands dirtier; than those hands ... so washed?... Astronomical-Heights, achieved by great men and women alike,\u2026were never met; in a quick flight, but rather,\u2026during the night; while their opponents slept, these very same,\u2026were breaking through-and-through! ...\nBy the act of reading, we all become contemporaries,\u2026of all men and women, alike; and citizens of all countries. Do not read to contradict or rebuke or to believe or take for good; or to search material conversations or speech. But, please read all your future material,\u2026to consider and ponder; what you have just, read.\nBetter, is always,\u2026a republic; which has fixed laws, that govern; even if they are imperfect; than to have them moved about, to and fro,\u2026most frequently: with every wind-of-doctrine. The law often allows what honor,...prohibits.\nAnd in closing, remember always that a good book,\u2026is one that; is opened with expectation and closed, with much fruition. There is no book so bad, that there is not some,...good-fruit; we could reap, from it.

His Son, (Jesus-of-Nazareth); made no attempt, to gain converts or to invite anyone,\u2026to: \u201cgive their hearts, to Him!\u201d\u2026\nNor, to accept Him, (Jesus),\u2026as their; \u201cpersonal-saviour\u201d\u2026\nOn the contrary, Jesus,\u2026\u201dCalled-Out\u201d; and/or drafted, twelve, (12),\u2026disciples; The word, \u201cDisciples\u201d,\u2026means, student. These were being taught, by Jesus,\u2026the true, gospel-message; with regards to, His Father\u2019s-Kingdom!...\nNow, why a Church?...\nJesus, was sent down to us,\u2026commissioned; by His own God, and Father-in-Heaven!... The appointed task, dealt with,\u2026\u201dcalling-out\u201d; selected and chosen individuals, from Satan\u2019s world. And, to qualify this small-remnant-class of people,\u2026to reign, with Jesus; when He returns, to replace Satan,\u2026on: Earth\u2019s-Throne!...\nYes, we are those,\u2026called; but not merely, for Salvation and eternal-life. But, to also learn the ways of God\u2019s own,\u2026Government. And, to develop our character,\u2026to resemble more; the Obedient nature, of God\u2019s own Son!...\nWe tend-to-take, the existence of churches,\u2026for granted. It has been assumed, by many,\u2026that our churches; are a sort of soul-saving-stations, where people go to get,\u2026\u201dSaved!\u201d\u2026 Many minds, have been blinded, (read, Revelation 12:9); to the real-truths, of God\u2019s purpose for humanity!...\nMost people think, of a church,\u2026as being; a building. But, folks,\u2026it was, truly; something altogether different, when it was originally,\u2026founded. Friends, our churches of today,\u2026have changed, drastically; from Jesus\u2019 original pattern!...\nJesus, founded only,\u2026One-Church!...\nYet, in our world today,\u2026we see; many different churches. Catholic, Protestant and,\u2026Independents. And, within them,\u2026many denominations; sects-and-divisions or congregations. Each, with is differing beliefs, teachings,\u2026rituals-and-programs!...\n(\u201cPLEASE-GET,\u2026THIS-RIGHT\u201d)!...\nThe Church-of-Christ, started out as,\u2026One-Church!... Of which, Jesus-of-Nazareth,\u2026was its Head!... Institutionally, the Church is thought of,\u2026today; as a religious organization, association and/or society.\nFolks, the inspired Greek-Word,\u2026for Church, is; (\u201cEkklesia\u201d)\u2026 Meaning, those,\u2026\u201dCalled-out-Ones!\u201d\u2026\nIn closing, just know that,\u2026the true, Church-of-Christ; belongs to our living-God!... Of which, His Son,\u2026is the appointed; founder and living-Head!... Amen.\n\u201cTHE-WISDOM,\u2026OF,\u2026THE-ALMIGHTY!\u201d\u2026\nThe Siames twin of anxiety, is fear itself,\u2026and; our Lord Jesus addresses fear in (please read, Luke 12:32-34). The only way we can truly protect our treasures, is to invest them in Heaven. Our hearts follow our Treasures. And if our treasure is in Heaven, so will our hearts,\u2026be. Heaven is scarcely a reality, to a man and/or woman,\u2026who; is not prepared, to invest hard cash in it,\u2026and: in its interest!...\nThe crucial issue in life, is not the amount of our treasure,\u2026but; the location of it. No one wants to be called a fool, by our living God. How do we make sure, that doesn\u2019t happen?... We can choose limits, not luxury,\u2026so; our treasure can be invested, in Heaven!... We can cultivate compassion, not greed. Most of all, we can pursue confidence,\u2026in our Creator; not in money. On our currency, we print the slogan,\u2026\u201dIn God we Trust\u201d\u2026\nFine words, but do we trust Him,\u2026on our money; or with our money?... If we find ourselves sinking, we will not cry,\u2026\u201duncle\u201d instead we will cry-out,\u2026\u201dFather\u201d to the One, who knows all our needs,\u2026and; possesses all resources. Such a person, has learned the wisdom of God!... Dear reader and friends, why is it that,\u2026unbelievers outpace disciples; in their foresight, their ingenuity and their,\u2026risk-taking?... They study their World, see the opportunities,\u2026and; seize them, knowing that opportunities missed,\u2026are usually: opportunities lost!...\nPlease take this moment and share, our Saviour,\u2026with others; won\u2019t you?... Amen.\n\u201cTHE-FOLLY,\u2026OF,\u2026FOOLS!\u201d\u2026\nWorry, is not the presence of appropriate concern,\u2026for life\u2019s responsibilities. Rather, it is undue care,\u2026exaggerated concern. Anxiety, is the emotional distraction and distress,\u2026that; comes from allowing the duties, and the unknowns of this present life,\u2026to absorb and control us. Telling you (dear reader and friends) not to worry,\u2026isn\u2019t very helpful. People who tell us that, usually seem either unrealistic,\u2026uninformed; or patronizing. Our Lord Jesus, forces us to think about,\u2026why; we are not, to worry!...\nFirst, He tells us that,\u2026worry; is foolish (please see, Luke 12:22-24). It\u2019s falling into the folly, of the rich fool who believed that,\u2026his life; consisted of his possessions. To worry, is foolishly to forget,\u2026who we are; God\u2019s valued children, and who He is,\u2026our loving Father!... Second, worry is futile (please read, Luke 12:25-28). Worry, can shorten life,\u2026but; it can\u2019t lengthen it. And God, who gives beauty to the fields,\u2026will; not strip us bare. Anxiety, denies the care of God,\u2026and all; to no effect!...\nSo, the alternative is,\u2026not to be \u201ccare-less\u201d; but \u201ctrust-full\u201d\u2026 Third, worry is Faithless\u2026(see, Luke 12:29-31). To be absorbed with physical and personal needs,\u2026is ultimately; to be captured, by unbelief. If the gospel is really true, our lives should be different,\u2026qualitatively; from the lives of pagans. All of our fret, and worry,\u2026is caused by; calculating without our living God, included in the picture!...\nWorry, is the product of an inadequate understanding,\u2026of; our Heavenly-Father!... Amen.",

        "raw_content": "Beep-It optical theremin - for budget weird music\nThe Beep-It optical theremin produces eerie tones when exposed to various light sources\nIf you've ever heard the eerie electronic music at the beginning of a 1950s science fiction movie (The Day the Earth Stood Still, for example), then you've heard a theremin. Invented in Russia in the 1920s, the instrument is unique, in that the person playing it doesn't touch it at all. Instead, they move their hands around its two antennas, causing it to emit different sounds by altering radio frequencies that the machine emits. Although still used by some modern musicians, theremins can be a little pricey, and somewhat difficult to master. That's where the $35 Beep-It optical theremin comes in.\nThe Beep-It emits a square sound wave, the pitch of which is controlled by the amount of light striking a built-in photoresistor. Users can alter the pitch by shading the light sensor, pointing it towards a light source, or even bringing a bright light source up to it. Flashing lights, such as a bicycle tail light, will produce a spacey oscillating sound. A prominent power button allows users to repeatedly turn it quickly on and off, which can be an interesting effect in itself. It also has a basic volume control.\nAlthough it looks like a toy, the Beep-It does incorporate a quarter-inch output jack, so it can be connected to things like amplifiers or recording devices. As can be seen in the video below, it could find a place with some bands, especially those of the more psychedelic persuasion.\nMade by Chicago-based electronics tinkerers Unatronics, the Beep-It optical theremin is available on the company website for US$35. It requires one 9-volt battery.",

        "raw_content": "Starting a family is a joyful and exciting period, but it can be expensive. Women who know they want to return to work after having children will often plan to do so after a year, which was until recently, the legislated maternity leave allowance. Some return to work earlier than that due to personal or financial reasons, and some may return later, or not at all.\nWhatever scenario you face after having child, there will almost certainly be a period of reduced income as the primary carer takes time off to look after their child. When you\u2019re used to living on two full time wages, adjusting spending habits to accommodate the loss of income can be a real challenge for new parents.\nHowever, a bit of forward planning and commitment to a more simple life can go a long way to reducing the financial changes.\nHere we Show You How to Budget on One Wage:\nPlan ahead. While you\u2019ll probably spend the nine months of your pregnancy to fund all the baby equipment that you\u2019ll need, it is really worth the extra sacrifice of putting away some money each pay day for a \u2018rainy day fund\u2019 while you are off work. If you still have the nest egg when the time comes to return to work, you can put it towards a holiday (or perhaps baby no. 2!)\nGet familiar with your incomings and outgoings, then make sure you plan accordingly. Take a look at what your weekly grocery bill is for the two of you, then add 10 percent to cover baby-related expenses (such as nappies, formula, dummies, bottles). Consider things like your utilities bills \u2013 you\u2019ll go from only using these for a short time in the morning, and again in the evening, to someone being home all day, every day. This adds up, particularly in the winter when you need to heat the house.\nPractice mindful shopping. A huge amount of money is wasted on impulse buys on fashion items and gadgets. Really consider whether you need the items, and set a rule that anything over $50 you wait 24 hours before purchasing. Taking this time to consider the spend and item can really help keep your budget in the black.\nMeal plan. People that meal plan will tell you that it is the most useful strategy for managing a budget. You shop to a list and it takes the pain out of trying to decide at 5pm what you\u2019ll cook, especially if it\u2019s been a hard day with the baby.\nLive within your means. Try to pay off your credit card debt before the baby arrives so the money you have coming in can be used just for household expenses. Putting away your credit card, and using it only in emergencies will help keep you on track for only spending what you have.\nSet aside an afternoon to call Centrelink to find out what you are entitled to. There is either the New Born Upfront Payment/New Born Supplement or Paid Maternity Leave, and depending on your household income, you may be eligible for a Family Tax Benefit Payment. Even if this is minimal it might be enough to pay for your nappies each week, or buy a treat like a take away meal or a bottle of wine.\nWhen you are expecting a baby it is such an exciting time and it is easy to get swept up in the...",

        "raw_content": "The Court and the Cloud\nThe Supreme Court wrestles with how to apply U.S. laws to international tech companies.\nMost people consider the internet\u2019s global reach an advantage. But for the Supreme Court on Tuesday morning, it was more of a headache.\nThe justices heard oral arguments in United States v. Microsoft, a high-profile case about digital privacy and law enforcement. At issue are dueling interpretations of an outdated federal statute that still governs how tech companies store and release private information to law-enforcement agencies. Those arguments took place against the backdrop of a broader debate about how to apply U.S. law to a supranational network of computers.\nThe underlying legal dispute began in 2013 when federal investigators obtained a warrant under the Stored Communications Act of 1986 for a Microsoft customer\u2019s email account as part of a drug investigation. Some of the email account\u2019s data are stored in the United States. But the emails themselves reside separately on servers inside a Microsoft data center in Dublin, Ireland.\nMicrosoft turned over the U.S.-based data but then asked the courts to quash the government\u2019s request for the Ireland-based emails. The tech giant argued that Congress didn\u2019t write the Stored Communications Act to apply within other countries and that, accordingly, the warrant request was improper. After the Second Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Microsoft\u2019s position, the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to intervene.\nMicrosoft argued that the emails themselves\u2014those particular ones and zeros inscribed on a hard drive in Dublin\u2014are under foreign jurisdiction.\nBoth sides agree that the Stored Communications Act can\u2019t be enforced in a foreign country. Where the two sides diverge is on whether Microsoft would have to take action overseas in order to acquire the emails in question. Since Microsoft can access them from its facilities in the United States, the government argues that the issue is entirely a domestic matter.\n\u201cThere is not an international problem here,\u201d Deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben told the justices. \u201cThis is largely a mirage that Microsoft is seeking to create.\u201d\nFor the court\u2019s liberals, that view seemed to go beyond what legislators intended when they crafted the 1986 statute, which focused on domestic data-storage issues and did not anticipate the volume of personal information that would be kept by tech companies or the borderless world of cloud computing. \u201cThings have changed,\u201d Justice Sonia Sotomayor told Dreeben. \u201cBut what you\u2019re asking us to do is to imagine what Congress would have done or intended in a totally different situation today.\u201d\nMicrosoft argued that the emails themselves\u2014those particular ones and zeros inscribed on a hard drive in Dublin\u2014are physically located at its data center abroad, placing them under foreign jurisdiction. This puts the emails beyond the reach of a warrant issued under the Stored Communications Act, the tech giant argued.\nJoshua Rosenkranz, who represents Microsoft, acknowledged that the company can access the emails from the United States. But, he explained, the technical process to do so asks a computer in Ireland to read those ones and zeros so the data can be sent \u201con hard wires and over the Atlantic.\u201d\n\u201cThis is a quintessentially extraterritorial act,\u201d Rosenkranz added.\nBut where the liberal justices expressed concern over applying a dated statue to a hyper-modern circumstance, some of the conservative justices were clearly concerned about not applying the statute. \u201cThere is nothing under your position that prevents Microsoft from storing U.S. communications, every one of them, either in Canada or Mexico or anywhere else, and then telling their customers: Don\u2019t worry, if the government wants to get access to your communications, they won\u2019t be able to,\u201d Chief Justice John Roberts told Rosenkranz.\nRosenkranz replied that it was more likely that criminals who wanted to evade the U.S. government would choose tech providers with no footprint at all in the United States. \u201cIf customers do not want their emails to be seized by the government, they don\u2019t use Microsoft\u2019s services,\u201d he told the chief justice.\nJustice Neil Gorsuch, the court\u2019s newest member, stuck to his usual habit of asking questions about the precise language of the legislative text at issue. At one point, he pressed Dreeben on the statute\u2019s use of the word warrant, \u201cwhich typically has a very limited and narrow understanding territorially,\u201d he said, versus its use of subpoenas, which would be easier for the government to defend.\nGorsuch\u2019s predecessor, Antonin Scalia, occasionally acted as something of a wild card on Fourth Amendment issues, joining with the court\u2019s liberals on cases involving DNA searches during arrest and drug-sniffing dogs near a home. There were some hints during earlier oral arguments this term that the court\u2019s newest justice might play a similar role, and his questions Tuesday seemed to support that notion. The Microsoft case hinges on the statute\u2019s language, not a Fourth Amendment issue, but it could still be an interesting window into how Gorsuch balances privacy interests and law enforcement.\nSotomayor and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asked both sides whether the issue should be left to Congress instead of the court. Members of the court\u2019s conservative wing, like Justices Samuel Alito and Anthony Kennedy, however, seemed more inclined to rule in favor of the government\u2019s position.\nComplicating matters is the Stored Communications Act itself, which Congress passed almost a decade before the internet started to become a ubiquitous feature of modern life. The rapid pace of change since then means the statute\u2019s parameters are an awkward fit at best for current technologies.\nMicrosoft and the government agree that the statute should be rewritten. And a bipartisan group of legislators is currently pushing for a bill titled the CLOUD Act to address the underlying issues in the Microsoft case and similar ones. At the same time, that bill\u2019s language has sparked concerns among civil-liberties groups and digital-privacy advocates, who say the revised law would weaken existing protections.\nA final decision on Microsoft is expected by June. In the meantime, the court will have to interpret a Bronze Age law for an Iron Age world.\nUpdate: A previous version of this article stated that the Microsoft customer in this case lived in the U.S. His place of residence has not been disclosed.\nLaw, Politics, Supreme Court, Digital privacy, Sonia Sotomayor, Microsoft, John Roberts",

        "raw_content": "The strange saga of a long-lost \"too terrifying for TV\" Nickelodeon movie\nThe hunt that you weren\u2019t aware of for the semi-infamous made-for-TV horror movie Cry Baby Lane came to a close this Sunday thanks to the combined powers of Reddit and The Internet.\nThe Nickelodeon movie originally aired on a Friday night of the Halloween weekend in 2000, and was never seen again. Internet lore held that it was too horrifying and vastly inappropriate for a younger audience: The story goes that, the next day, Nickelodeon was flooded with complaints from flaming-torch-wielding parents, and the network responded by never airing it again, never releasing it to home video, and never mentioning it again.\nLast week, a TIL [Today I Learned] post alerted the forces of Reddit to the movie\u2019s long-lost status, and within the hour, a commenter claimed to have a recorded copy on VHS from when it aired. The hunt had finally come to an end. There was much rejoicing, but also much whining for instant gratification, and the inevitable flaming ensued when it wasn\u2019t uploaded by the end of the day. It took the commenter until Sunday to rip the movie and upload it.\nShockingly, four days was too long of a wait for the likes of The Internet, and through incessant pestering and heckling, the commenter was driven to delete her account from Reddit (which is sort of a big deal for Redditors) after posting a link to the upload. So way to go, Internet. You\u2019re really good at being nice to the people who do nice things for you.\nCry Baby Lane has since made its way to YouTube, where you can watch the entire thing for yourself\u2014so long as Viacom doesn\u2019t remove it for a second time. It has Frank Langella in it and features an amusing cameo from a young Jim Gaffigan. It also doesn\u2019t seem very scary or controversial, but that\u2019s beside the point. It's more interesting to see what passed for controversial 11 years ago.",

Gregory St., Urbana. Tickets are available at the door and are $10 general admission and $5 for students and seniors.\nThe film \u201cBronx Gothic\u201d follows Okpokwasili on the final tour for her one-woman show of the same title. \u201cBronx Gothic\u201d the show is a multidisciplinary display of dance, singing, drama and comedy. The semiautobiographical story she tells is set in the 1980s and centers on two 11-year-old girls, their friendship, and their discussions of puberty and sexual violence. The film shows Okpokwasili performing and also leading talkbacks with audience members on the questions concerning gender and culture issues raised by her performance.\nSeveral members of the dance faculty saw the show live in New York City, and others saw a video of the performance. The Illinois dance department screened the video of the performance for dance students before the documentary is shown at the film festival.\n\u201cI was just as blown away with the documentary as I was with the dance work,\u201d said Rebecca Ferrell, the director of the film festival. \u201cOkwui is a master storyteller. Dance, text, song, she weaves it beautifully together in \u2018Bronx Gothic.\u2019 You are watching her transform throughout the piece, and at the end you yourself feel transformed as well.\u201d\nThe screening of \u201cBronx Gothic\u201d is co-sponsored by Krannert Art Museum and the Department of African American Studies.\nThe South Korean film \u201cMago\u201d tells the story of the mythical Grandmother Mago. It is one of 11 short films that were chosen as part of the Flatlands Dance Film Festival\u2019s Short Films Competition Program.\nCourtesy Flatlands Dance Film Festival\nThe second night of the festival features 11 short dance films from all over the world that were chosen through the festival\u2019s Short Films Competition Program. The festival received more than 350 submissions from 50 countries. A panel of community members chose the finalists.\nOne of Ferrell\u2019s favorite short films is \u201cExquisite Corps,\u201d the fourth in a series of hypermatch-cutting films directed by a dance professor at Ohio State University. In \u201cExquisite Corps,\u201d 42 contemporary dance choreographers dance for seven seconds each, with the film cutting from one to the next, each dancer picking up where the previous one left off.\n\u201cI love the chain letter of choreography traveling through 42 choreographers. There is singing, pizza-eating, underwater dancing and everything in between. It\u2019s a unique and delightful way to highlight today\u2019s modern dance-makers,\u201d Ferrell said.\nA film from the United Kingdom, \u201cStopgap in Stop Motion,\u201d uses stop motion techniques, allowing the dancers to move in and out of frames within the film.\n\u201cI was really excited to see a stop-motion entry this year. We have received them in the past but not up to this production level. I thoroughly enjoyed the quirkiness of the film and its inclusion of disabled and nondisabled dancers,\u201d Ferrell said.\nA film from South Korea, \u201cMAGO,\u201d is an ethereal film that uses dance to illustrate a myth of the Grandmother Mago. \u201cThe cinematography is absolutely breathtaking,\u201d Ferrell said.\nA full list of the films selected for the Short Films Competition Program is online.\nEditor\u2019s note: For more information on the Flatlands Dance Film Festival, go to http://www.dance.uiuc.edu/engagement/flatlands-dance-film-festival, or contact Rebecca Ferrell at rferrel@illinois.edu or 217-300-1193.",

However, the study also shows that disruption can be managed and harnessed for the next phase of growth.\nAs part of the study of more than 2,000 large companies in India, Accenture developed a \u2018disruptability index\u2019 which measures the current level of disruption, and susceptibility to future disruption. The research found that 44 percent of companies are currently experiencing disruption, and 38 percent are susceptible to future disruption. It also found that nearly one-third (31 percent) of companies are currently in a stable, yet uncertain position.\n\u201cDisruption is a reality. It can be swift and strong or slow and steady, but it follows a predictable pattern that can be anticipated and managed,\u201d said Anindya Basu, geographic unit and country senior managing director, Accenture in India. \u201cThe rapid rise of Indian unicorns, and gradual erosion of profits across key industries is evidence of the disruption at play. Whether Indian businesses survive disruption or thrive in it depends on how well they understand where they are positioned in the disruption landscape, and how they respond.\u201d\nGarima Misra Punia\ngarima.misra.punia@accenture.com",

The owner had demolished a home and begun construction on a new one. The home was in the final stages of construction when Hurricane Sandy hit.\nThe Details: This swimming pool was a freeform design with liner-covered steps, sun shelf and a waterfall. The pool was constructed using American products, manufactured by local companies out of New Jersey. The pump and filtration system are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Building a swimming pool next to a body of water requires a certain level of expertise, because when water is excavated, a certain volume of water rushes back in. The company used a dry well and well points to extract the water from the hole so it could excavate and build the swimming pool.\nThe Impact: The swimming pool will provide years of enjoyment to the customer. It provides a safe environment for adults and children to swim, lounge and play.\nOriginal Article at: smartceo.com \u2013 Nicholas Pools Inc. 2015 New York Skyline Award Finalists",

        "title": "PETAN Annual Oil Industry Awards \u2013 Nigeria Oil Gas Monthly",
        "raw_content": "The Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) had its annual oil industry awards recently in Lagos, the event brought the stakeholders of the oil industry who converged to receive their awards based on their performances and contributions to the industry. PETAN members are mostly of the service division of the oil industry augmenting the upstream aspect which deals with exploration. The occasion was witnessed by Dr. Maikanti Baru, Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Chairmen, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) including Managing Directors of oil companies both international and their local counterparts. It was also an opportunity to network among members and non-members including award recipients.\nThe GMD of NNPC started his address by thanking PETAN for recognizing excellence and rewarding it, \u201cI recall in this very hall last year, they did honour me with the Local Content Champion Mantra\u201d. The GMD described 2017 as an impressive year, \u201ca lot of things that the association set out to do had been seen through including the Cash Call exit\u201d. Baru revealed that the oil industry is able to create a point to assist PETAN members in particular and all contractors through a $200 million Nigerian Content Development Monitoring Board (NCDMB) fund. This closely complement the $100 million Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) fund specifically for the NLNG contractors. Other operators will be encouraged in the industry to also set up similar funds to assist with liquidity that is required by the contractors to be able to deliver support to the oil industry. The bottom line is that \u201cproduction has improved with the hovering of about 2.1 million barrels per day in the past weeks and I hope we will continue to do that despite the big challenges we are having in some of our major trunk lines.\u201d The government has been working assiduously to include and engage the communities directly by considering their yearnings. Part of the plan of the government is to involve them in modular refineries.\nBesides, 35 companies and organizations are already involved in construction of modular refineries and 13 have been licensed. According to the GMD, \u201cFor us as an industry, it is absolutely necessary that we give them whatever they required in terms of food stuffs and this increase a lot of works for PETAN members.\u201d The industry is hoping with the exit of Cash Call that in 2018, there will be projects that need to be put in place to finance 2016 Cash Call arears. This will give room for a lot of works to be available for PETAN members both in terms of drilling and other activities. Baru noted that Chevron has taken the lead with project Tita and Falcon. Shell, another oil major, is bringing up a project that is expected to gulp about $1 billion which will be used for the period that the project will last. \u201cI believe these are significance volume of works that will keep the industry busy.\u201d Baru was optimistic that First E&P and Schlumberger joint funding technical agreement will further boost activities in the oil industry. \u201cThere are many other projects that we are looking at in order to finance the pre-2016 arrears JV Cash Calls. This is good tiding for PETAN members in the service industry.\u201d The GMD disclosed that there will be a lot of integrity and innovative projects which will also be carried out by ExxonMobil, the multinational has shown interest in upcoming projects. The government is involved in lots of gas supply project to meet its target of 10 000 Mega Watts by 2020.\nSpeaking with industry stakeholders and assuring them of progress, Baru asserted that \u201cThere are many other high profile projects that we are looking at, the Asanos development for which we will soon have an FID. The Bonga south west, Zabazaba, Bosi, these are huge projects and our focus is to have FID as soon as possible.\u201d He stated further that there are seven critical gas projects that will contain about 3.5 billion cubic feet (bcf) per day by 2020 to the domestic market. The Ajaokuta-Abuja, Kaduna-Kano pipeline will develop up to 3.5 gigawatts into the national grid and these projects will also pass through FID in 2018. Nigeria NLG Train 7 is being focused towards FID together with the existing plant.\nThe aspect of payment which is bothering the industry, Baru assured that NNPC is working closely with contractors and JV partners to ensure that normal industry payment practice within stipulated period is imbibed. Most delay payments of 60 days, 90 days, and 120 days will soon be of the past. The GMD implored CEOs and Captains of industry within the oil sector to pay PETAN members.\nThe NNPC helmsman emphasized on divestment which has been an ongoing process that NNPC is working with government on how it could be handled but decision is left with the executive. However, whichever decision is taken, it is an opportunity for PETAN members to ensure that they make a maximum use of it. He enjoined the Chairman, House Committee on Local Content, Honourable Emmanuel Ekon to remain committed on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB). NNPC is in dialogue with the National Assembly members on the PIB and this will be a major focus for the industry in 2018. The dialogue will ensure that some gray areas which are of interest to operators are taken into account. He told PETAN members that the Chairman of Local Content has given him assurance that all arears of interests will be enshrined in the new PIB in 2018. NASS will give them utmost priority.\nBaru thanked all the recipients, corporate and individuals including, the selection committee for deeming it fit to select him and other awardees as worthy recipients. \u201cWe know the awards more than personal are recognizing what we have been doing, our commitment and drive and focus of the industry, it will only spurs us to continue this focus and we believe we are in the right direction and we will keep going,\u201d Baru concluded.\nPrevious Post NAPE: Setting A Roadmap For Nigeria\u2019s Oil Industry\nNext Post FG Assures Adequate Incentive for Private Investment",

        "raw_content": "By Dave Kaplan | | August 15, 2011\nCoach Ali Good, at top, fourth from left, celebrates last November with her Oak Knoll field hockey squad after capturing their fourth Group 1 championship in five years with a victory over St. Joseph High School of Hammonton.\nCourtesy of Ali Good.\nAt every Oak Knoll School field hockey game, the bloodlines run along the sidelines. That\u2019s because coach Ali Good, who orchestrated a perfect 27-0 season and state championship for her alma mater in 2010, couldn\u2019t imagine doing her job without her family. Her younger sister Christina is her top assistant. Her four young children help warm up and fetch water for the players. And husband Mike is always nearby, occasionally texting suggestions.\nAs for the ponytailed Oak Knoll Royals, they are the 34-year-old Good\u2019s extended family. \u201cI have four kids, but with our team I feel like it\u2019s 29,\u201d Good says. \u201cI\u2019m so incredibly proud of them.\u201d\nHer all-in-the-family philosophy is rooted in the small Summit private school, where she was smitten by the sport in fourth grade. A product of Oak Knoll\u2019s feeder program, she has helped build the school of less than 250 students into a national powerhouse. Good has a 130-12-6 record in six seasons, including four Group I championships in the past five years. In 2007, her Royals dealt the dynastic Eastern Regional High School of Voorhees its first loss to a New Jersey school in 208 games.\nWith almost the entire squad returning to Oak Knoll when the season opens September 10 against Livingston, Good acknowledges, \u201cWe put a big target on our back.\u201d As always, she will challenge her team with tough talk and positive thinking. \u201cI\u2019ll just tell them, \u2018Your job is to defend our title. It won\u2019t be easy but you can do it.\u2019\u201d\nGood\u2019s coaching career almost didn\u2019t happen. After graduating Holy Cross in 1999, Good entered the family business working for Shop Rite. Then she got a last-minute offer from Oak Knoll athletic director Jerry Butler to become an assistant coach. Overwhelmed with excitement, Good first sought the okay from her youngest sister, Laura, a promising freshman. \u201cSure, whatever,\u201d said Laura, and a coaching star was born.\nCoaching her sister became a highlight. So was overseeing the development of Michelle Cesan, the current Princeton standout who in June was named to the U.S. national team that will play next year in the London Olympics. \u201cMichelle immediately called me and I almost cried,\u201d Good says. \u201cDefinitely, I will be in London to cheer her.\u201d\nAnd definitely will bring the whole family with her.",

        "raw_content": "Dustin Lynch\u2026 What more needs to be said?\nIf you haven\u2019t heard of him or his music you absolutely need to! Dustin Lynch is a country music singer-songwritter. He has written on many of my favorite tracks including \u201cThank A Farmer\u201d preformed by James Wesley.\nDustin moved to Nashville in 2003 to pursue his career choice of Country Music. After many years of working really hard, in late 2011 he was finally signed to Broken Bow Records and released his first single \u201cCowboys and Angels\u201d in Jan. 2012. This song became a hit overnight. The song peaked at #2 on the US Country Charts. In May of 2012 Dustin played at local charity event Golf and Guitars. He rocked his set and left everyone wanting more. Most Country Music fans at the show had heard his hit single and loved it but after hearing the rest of his music, fans really fell in love! He took the time to meet each and every one of the fans who wanted to meet and get and autograph from him. It took coming out to the tent at least 5 times just so that every last fan could take a pic with him. He also met fans earlier that day while golfing for charity. He was humble and grateful to have them come to him and ask for photos. I have seen many artists interact with fans but he is one of the best, most kind, and down to earth.\nHis first album was released Aug. 20, 2012. In early 2013 his second single \u201cShe Cranks My Tractor\u201d became his second top 20 hit. Keith Urban added him to his \u201cLight the Fuse 2013\u201d Tour.\nIn December 2013, Dustin appeared on the Red Carpet in Las Vegas, NV at the American Country Awards. I had the pleasure of interviewing him that day on the Red Carpet. He was still the same guy I met back at Golf and Guitars. Humble, kind and so grateful for what he has. I asked if he ever expected to be there at the ACA\u2019s or where he is in country music and he straight up said NO, never. He never expected all of this to happen for him and I think that\u2019s where he is different then most artists.\nDustin\u2019s third single \u201cWild in your Smile\u201d made top 30 on the country music charts. His newest single \u201cWhere it\u2019s at\u201d Debuts at most added at Country Radio with 79 First Week stations. The first week his single was already in the top 50 on Billboard charts.\nDustin Lynch \u2013 iHeartRadio On The Verge Artist\nACA, ACM, CMT, Country Music, Dustin Lynch.

        "raw_content": "How the Raiders seem to be blowing Jon Gruden away\nJon Gruden Getty Images\nWhat the flaws of Aikman, Collinsworth tell us about Romo's rise\nIt sure sounds like Jon Gruden wants to draft Kyler Murray\nJon Gruden knows the Saints' pain better than anyone\nThe Raiders seem primed to make Jon Gruden an offer he can\u2019t refuse.\nA day after firing coach Jack Del Rio, the Raiders reportedly have plans in place to hire Gruden away from his analyst job at ESPN with a list of incentives that could include an ownership stake in the team.\nWhile Gruden has flirted with potential coaching opportunities since 2009 but chosen to stay on the \u201cMonday Night Football\u201d broadcast instead, the Oakland job has appeal for him beyond another chance in the NFL. He would be returning to the team he coached from 1998 to 2001, when he led then-owner Al Davis\u2019 squad from the bottom of the division to the playoffs in his last two years.\nThis time around, Gruden would get the chance to work with franchise quarterback Derek Carr, whom he likes, and work under Davis\u2019 son, Mark Davis, who has \u201can affinity for him,\u201d a source told ESPN.\nAdditionally, when the Raiders move to their new stadium in Las Vegas in 2020, Gruden would not have to pay state income tax on what is likely to be a hefty contract.\nIn order for Davis to hold true to his reported ownership-stake offer, however, the owners of all 32 teams would have to sign off on Gruden\u2019s contract, which some may not be willing to do for fear of establishing a precedent they don\u2019t want, according to ESPN.\nGruden, who also coached the Buccaneers from 2002 to 2008 and won a Super Bowl in his first season after the Raiders traded him away in a rare coach transfer, only went as far as to say he has had conversations about potential jobs.\n\u201cI don\u2019t want to sit here and speculate. \u2026 There is no news to report,\u201d Gruden said Saturday. \u201cI can\u2019t say I haven\u2019t taken any phone calls. I take a lot every year from coaches, some others. \u2026 Yeah, sometimes owners. Guys want to bounce ideas off me. I\u2019m here to help people.\u201d\nGruden, 54, has toyed with the idea of returning to the NFL before, but many believe the Raiders deal could be the one to lure him out of the broadcast booth. Though he has forged a second career at ESPN and is said to be the network\u2019s highest-paid talent, with a reported salary of about $6.5 million per year, he has hinted that he\u2019d return to the sideline one day.\nFiled under jon gruden , nfl , oakland raiders\nGiants begin coaching search with Patriots requests",

Charlie Baker signed Senate Bill 2633 into law Jan. 16, ensuring first responders won\u2019t be penalized for seeking counseling after experiencing trauma on the job.\nThe new law will require the state's police and fire stations to offer crisis intervention services. The critical incident stress management teams will assist first responders who are coping with psychological trauma or stress, according to WWLP.\n\"Providing law enforcement officers with the ability to confidentially seek guidance from their peers will help them cope with the events they experience in the line of duty,\" Baker said, according to the Millbury-Sutton Chronicle. \"We are thankful for the Legislature and law enforcement for their advocacy on this bill to increase support for services and reduce stigma around mental health issues.\"\nMembers of the stress management team will be appointed, and police and fire chiefs will personally choose people from their staff to provide peer support. Members of the stress management team will be bound by confidentiality, prohibited to disclose personal information, and cannot be forced to testify in court.\n\"Police officers, firefighters, and paramedics work every day under demanding circumstances, and responding to critical incidents can have a direct, negative impact on the mental health of first responders,\" Sen. Michael O. Moore said. \"Confidentiality is an essential piece of comprehensive mental health services, and this bill will encourage greater participation and improved mental health for these brave men and women.\"",

        "raw_content": "Numerical modelling of the coastal ocean off Tanzania\nIn this model study of the coastal ocean off Tanzania, the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) was employed to model the coastal ocean off Tanzania over the domain of 5\u00b0N-15\u00b0S and 38-55\u00b0E. It was integrated for ten years with monthly mean Comprehensive Ocean and Atmosphere Data Sets (COADS) winds and heat fluxes. Initial and lateral boundary conditions were derived from the World Ocean Atlas. The model was used to simulate the annual cycle, and the sea surface temperature (SST) output compared with the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) sea surface temperature (SST) measurements for the same region. Although broadly comparable, the model SST was generally warmer than that of TMI data. The high SSTs in the Tanzanian coastal waters (greater than 28\u00b0C) occur from December to May while SSTs of less than 28\u00b0C occur during the rest of the year. The East African Coastal Current (EACC) experiences its lowest spatial and temporal average speeds (about 0.4ms- 1) in February and its maximum speed (1.7 ms\u207b\u00b9) in July. Speeds of greater than 1 ms\u207b\u00b9 occur during both transition seasons north of 6\u00b0S. The meridional wind stresses appear to be positively correlated with the EACC(r>0.6) in all locations and they are statistically significant (p<0.05). The annual cycle of the model flow in the southern Tanzanian waters seems to be positively correlated with the flow to the north of Madagascar (r=0.57 and p=O.O5). The flow in these regions changes in phase with each other from October to April and June to July with minimum speeds in November. For the other months, the flow in these regions is out of phase with each other. The model currents off southern Tanzania attain their maximum speeds in August when the South West monsoon is fully developed while the flow north of Madagascar attains its maximum speed in September when the South West monsoon fades. However, the flow in the southern Tanzanian waters is more affected by the reversal of winds over the tropical western Indian Ocean (r=0.69, p=0.01) than that north of Madagascar (r=0.51, p=0.09). This difference results in a larger annual speed range in the flow off southern Tanzania (about 0.4 ms\u207b\u00b9 ) than that to the north of Madagascar (about 0.3ms\u207b\u00b9). The ROMS model realistically simulates the annual cycle of the sea surface temperature and heat flux, the East African Coastal Current and the annual cycle of the flow entering the coastal ocean off the southern part of Tanzania. However, studies which integrate the large scale domain and regional coupled ocean-atmosphere interactions are needed to better understand of the East African climate and ocean variability. Such model results combined with suitable remote sensing and in situ observations will help improve understanding of the circulation and properties of the coastal ocean off Tanzania.\nManyilizu, M. 2009.

He was an uchi deshi, one of Sosai Mas Oyama\u2019s personal students. This is his story in his own words. I have only read excerpts, but so far I\u2019m impressed.\nKyokushin Kai on Fight Quest\nPosted: October 18, 2011 in Karate, Kids Karate, Kyokushin Kai\nTags: Karate in Tigard, Kids Karate in Tigard, Kyokushin Kai, Kyokushin Oregon, Martial Arts, Mas Oyama\nThis is the Fight Quest Episode where Doug & Jimmy try out Kyokushin. Keep a few things in mind as you watch this. 1) Doug & Jimmy\u2019s Japanese pronunciation is horrible, they say just about every Japanese word wrong. 2) They hammed it up pretty good for the camera. For example, we never fought on stone, in fact we never fought outside the dojo. When we did fight, it was always on a hardwood floor with a little spring & give. We only trained outside the dojo on Sundays when the weather was nice; we would jog through town, then run up hills and do some kihon (basics) outside. Other than that, we always trained inside the dojo. 3) Even though Doug & Jimmy are wearing white belts, they are not beginners, they are trained MMA fighters. 4) You will not fight or train this hard until you reach a pretty advanced level. I say this because I don\u2019t want to scare anyone away from trying out Kyokushin. There is a reason they call this \u201cThe Strongest Karate.\u201d Watch and you\u2019ll see why.\nFlashback to Japan\nPosted: October 9, 2011 in Karate, Kyokushin Kai\nTags: Karate, Karate in Tigard, Kyokushin Kai, Mas Oyama, Uchi Deshi\nWhile researching links & such on Google, I stumbled upon a link to LIGO DOJO of BUDO KARATE. This dojo was started by a guy I trained with while I was in Japan training at the Kyokushin Kaikan Honbu Dojo, the original headquarters of Kyokushin Kai, in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. At the time, the founder and grandmaster Sosai Masutatsu Oyama was still alive and teaching a few classes a week. I knew Sensei Nathan Ligo only as \u201cRaigo-San.\u201d In Japan you go by last name even if you are foreign. All I remebered was, Raigo-San, it was 20 years ago after all. Raigo-San was an Uchi-Deshi, a House Disciple, a personal student of Mas Oyama. Raigo-San, was the ripe age of 19. Uchi-Deshi, lived in a dormitory behind the dojo, and they trained I think 3 times a day; once at Uchi-Deshi Keiko (House Disciple training), once in a regular class, and once on their own, weight training or running & such. They were required to keep a journal of their training. An Uchi-Deshi trained I think about 6 hours a day or so, and they had other duties too, like cleaning the dojo. Advanced students teach, and I remember one of the Uchi-Deshi chauffeuring around Sosai (the Grandmaster).\nAt that time, no foreigner had completed the 1000 day Uchi-Deshi program. Raigo-San was the only American to receive a certificate of completion, and to date I think only three foreigners (including Sensei Ligo) have completed the program. The program was intense, to say the least, and I don\u2019t think I could have lasted a month. The Uchi-Deshi are restricted from leaving the dojo for the first year. I think there are some exceptions, but mostly you live in a karate dojo for three years with very little break, or rest, or contact with the outside world. You train injured, and you train and train and train.\nAlthough I trained hard while I was in the dojo, I trained only three or four times a week for about an hour and a half. I lived in my own apartment, ate whatever I wanted and had a Japanese girlfriend at my beck and call. Actually I lived a pretty good life while I was in Japan. Although I\u2019ll never reach the skill level of the Uchi-Deschi, I still experienced the epicenter of Kyokushin Kai, and I lived a much more comfortable and enjoyable life.\nOne day, a Saturday I think, I went to the dojo, trained and then went to one of the nearby department stores to buy something. When I went to pay, I was shocked to find that I didn\u2019t have enough money in my wallet. I realized someone had stolen money out of my wallet in the dojo. We had no lockers, so someone just cleaned me out. I went back to the dojo to let them know, and it was Raigo-san who translated for me. It was then that I learned the word \u201cNusumu, \u201d to steal. After that day, we left our wallets at the reception desk, where the receptionist held them for us until after practice. Undoubtedly this was a change over way things had been done over the previous 30 years.\nI have added things to my dojo, specifically Israeli Krav Maga, and CrossFit, so I can appeal to a wider demographic. But when I think back to my time in Japan, and the people I met, like Sensel Ligo, and the special experience I had at the Kyokushin Kaikan Honbu Dojo, I also want to preserve and teach karate the way I learned it, at the source.",

        "raw_content": "In addition to the capitalist crisis, imperialist aggression, errors of social democracy and weaknesses of the revolutionary movement, a more complex process with deeper consequences is underway in Venezuela: the decomposition of the Bourgeois State.\nThis premise leads us to assess the events from a broader, strategic perspective, because it is important to be clear that we are not experiencing only a conjunctural crisis. There is a structural process that affects the foundations of the system, which generates consequences in the economy, politics and daily life, evidencing the inability of capitalism, in any of its forms, to solve the problems of majorities, sovereignty and self-determination. .\nThat the process of decomposition of the State determined by the contradictions that converge and sharpen, mainly the fundamental ones of the time:\n1. Between imperialist blocs for a new distribution of the world, where Venezuela is a target.\n2. Of the imperialist powers with the dependent countries to maintain the subjugation, with responses from the peoples that we resist and fight against the subjugation.\n3. From an exploitative minority against the exploited majorities, expressing the class struggle, the power of the monopolies, the resistance of the working class and the peoples.\nThe emergence of parallel powers, the impossibility of the contenders to submit to each other and the limitations of the government to control the economy, has prolonged the contradiction for years which makes it difficult to subject one to the other and the limitations of the government to control the economy has made it difficult for it to subject those who violate the norms, expressing the degree of decomposition of the State.\nThis process of struggle of the opposites is advancing in-depth to the point of dragging the entire institutionality towards indolence, discredit, corruption and the inability to control those who, from inside and outside, attempt against the people, leading to extremes such as to allow a whipper to appoint himself President of the Republic and walk the streets as an example of the inability of the \u201clegal\u201d institutions to subdue the illegal, \u201clegitimate\u201d to crush the action of it\u2019s enemies.\nVenezuelan society is at a historic crossroads; either it solves its problems with revolutionary methods, with the popular leadership and the active participation of the exploited majorities, or they will be solved with reactionary, bourgeois methods, with the imposition of a fascist government of imperialist bill. Violent actions will be the order of the day, expressing the decomposition that also affects the military institution, as part of society, in a rise in the forms of struggle, where the honest and patriotic military will play their role, together with the people, in the struggle for self-determination.\nThe working class, the peasants and the revolutionary communes are the option of a successful exit, for that it is necessary a coordinated and a popular, anti-imperialist democratic program must emerge as an alternative of the left before the crisis.\nThe Bourgeois State is showing itself as an unusable instrument to solve the problems of the majorities. The whole society demands a new State, with popular strength and agility to take action against an imperialist aggression and an economic blockade. A popular, democratic and emergency government is required.\nTo organize society, productive forces, popular concerns and revolutionary energy requires a State instrument that breaks with the old practices and their structures, that does not fear the large owners and monopolies, that it requires the participation and the power of the working class, the peasants, comuneros and in general of the people.\nState of a new type, taking as an example of the Paris Commune or the State of the Soviets. Popular Democracy is the option before the parallelism of public powers that demonstrate the obsolescence of the Bourgeois State and the urgency of its substitution in order to face the challenges of an aggrieved and crisis society with possibilities of success.\n{Google translation from Spanish}\nOriginal in Spanish at\nhttps://pcmlv.blogspot.com/2019/01/editorial-acero-revolucionario-n-50-15.html?m=1\n\u2190 SOME URGENT PROBLEMS OF THE LABOUR MOVEMENT IN INDIA.

        "raw_content": "Failed by the state\nThe next Sunday blog that comes out will probably be written and posted whilst I am on a train back from the Filia 2018 conference in Manchester. Who knows what that blog will be about, but I imagine it will be a blog of mixed emotions and about the weekend events.\nMy segment is titled \u201cFailed by the state\u201d. I will share the stage Fiona Broadfoot from the amazing Build a girl and Zoe from Reign. Our panel will look at what has happened to the girls in our society who have been failed and what we can do to change it.\nI am not gonna lie, I am nervous. Really nervous. I have spoken in front of big crowds many times. I have spoken to people of all ages and shared the stage with some epic people. But this is different. This is the start of something\u2026. the start of change.\nIt literally gives me Goosebumps when I think about being in room with so many women who want the same thing\u2026change\u2026respect\u2026less talk more action. Every time I look through the speakers list I get excited and feel a bit sick. Because this is for real. I, Kendra Houseman, am going to be a speaker amongst some of the most influential, amazing, and bad ass women I have heard of. And that makes me a bit shook like I said.\nBut then I remember what I am there to do. I am there to tell people what is happening to the girls and young women in this country who are involved with gangs and child sexual exploitation. I am there to say, \u201cThey are being failed and we have to make this stop\u201d.\nI still haven\u2019t written down my talk yet. Should I use a PowerPoint? Should I use real life case studies? Should I tell them how I was failed?\nAnd that the sad part. I am not short of material. In fact, they could give me as much time as they wanted to talk about girls and young women being failed by the state and I would have example after example of that happening.\nIf I tried to do a personal timeline on the failings of girls by the state it wouldn\u2019t even start with me, it would start with my mum. And it wouldn\u2019t finish last year or a few months ago, it will finish on the 19th of October 2018 as I sit on my train on the way to Manchester and I write about the failings I have seen or heard of that day. That\u2019s the truth, I can account for over 50 years of failings that I know off both personally and that what has been shown through the media.\nThat\u2019s just shocking and quite frankly\u2026not good enough.\nSo maybe a time line will be too intense, maybe I can talk about where the failings are taking place by the state. I would start of course with mental health services. Children born to mothers who are not receiving the right mental health support due to cuts or undiagnosed special educational needs due to cuts in schools. These mothers giving birth and maybe not being able to raise a child in a safe environment de to their own vulnerability therefor creating a new generation of vulnerable girls that don\u2019t know what consent is or maybe don have the capacity to give it. The failings by mental health around those that have been exposed to gangs and exploitation, the lack of a fast track system for those at high risk and the crazy waiting times for treatment.\nHow about the schools. The schools that place children under too much pressure, don\u2019t have the time to take holistic approach to a child seeds and then either fails to see them slipping through the net or places them in alternative learning. Schools that are not educing our girls and women\u2019s that is your right to say no. That it is not ok to get touched up in the school toilets that you do have a voice. How about taking sexual health advice as serious as maths and English!\nThe failing by the state in regard to equality. The fact that out girls and young women still feel like this is a man\u2019s world because\u2026well\u2026that\u2019s what some people are still showing them due to discrimination that still takes place against women.\nFailing by the state where they still put some responsibility and blame on our girls and young women who have been exploited by gangs. Holding them criminal responsible for crimes they have been forced to commit. The state focusing on the males involved in gangs whilst the girls are just seen as girlfriends or side charters. No\u2026that not always the case I am afraid\u2026the girls involved in this, sometimes they are operating on the same level as the boys and they need the same injection of funds and support from the state as the boys do.\nThe failing by the state of the continued child sexual exploitation of the girls in this country. The blame placed upon them when professionals write they are \u201cStreet wise!!!! What does that even mean!!!\nOpps\u2026 I went off on one didn\u2019t I. This is why I need a PowerPoint or something \u2026so that I don\u2019t go on a rant about the failings of the girls and women in this country by the state.\nI didn\u2019t even get started on my story.\nSo\u2026. If you haven\u2019t gotten your tickets, I suggest you do\u2026Because this conference, Filia 2018, this is the one where women are going to get together and start the foundations for change. You don\u2019t want to miss that\u2026do you?\nGet tickets here: Filia Tickets\nPrevious Post My Daddy says I am a Slag\nNext Post Why I do the job I do",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Why are journalists denied access to immigration detention centres?\nCouncil cuts: we\u2019re hacking for Oxfordshire \u2192\nWe\u2019re not going to say which two because we don\u2019t want to \u201ccome out\u201d publicly as being over 50, in case it\u2019s detrimental to our careers. But maybe we\u2019re wrong\u2026 that was the point of the discussion.\nAccording to the panel (all over 50, and some over 60), 50 is no more dangerous than any other age. But perhaps you\u2019d expect them to be confident, because the nature of these panels is that they are made up of successful people.\nThe chair was Lindsay Nicholson, editorial director of Good Housekeeping (who says 60 is a dangerous age for a woman), and the other speakers were: Suzi Godson, Times relationships expert; Ann Treneman, chief theatre critic at the Times; Alice Hart-Davis, freelance beauty writer; Julianne Miles, co-founder and MD of Women Returners; Anne Perkins, the Guardian.\nTheir observations were:\nFind a niche (or niches)\nBeing a specialist gives you value. But you can be a specialist in more than one thing: Ann Treneman claims to have had six careers, including foreign editor of the Observer and political sketch writer for the Times.\nFind your strengths, choose the stuff you enjoy, and fend off things you\u2019re not interested in.\nBe realistic: you\u2019re no longer the bright young things. But stay confident: find out how you can add value and do it.\nthink you\u2019re entitled to anything (eg respect)\nsay \u201cI don\u2019t know how to log on\u201d\nwrite yourself off.\nthink \u201cwhy couldn\u2019t I?\u201d\nIf you\u2019re in a workplace, you won\u2019t just be working with people 20 years younger, but working FOR people 20 years younger. Your job is to help them forget it.\nThe question of age discrimination was raised, but there didn\u2019t seem to be a consensus (although there\u2019s research from Women in Journalism themselves that suggests it is alive and kicking ). I suspect the audience may have had different experiences from the panel.\nPortfolio careers are normal. Think about your transferable skills: who else would be interested? Don\u2019t define yourself by what you\u2019ve done before. Julianne Miles says she has reinvented herself every decade.\nTech is not just for young people. Suzi Godson is co-founder of Mee Two, an app to support teenagers with anxiety problems. One audience member has founded an online resource/forum for people with elderly parents.\nChallenging yourself to keep up can be rewarding. We can all use social media to promote ourselves and create networks (and privacy doesn\u2019t have to be a problem, if you approach it carefully). We can all blog, too \u2013 this gives you an outlet for things you want to write about, and can be a vehicle to promote your specialisms.\nRecognise the things older women have to offer\nSome of us can be entrepreneurial.\nWe know how to write (and we know about grammar).\nWe\u2019re always available, compared to women with young children.\nThere are things we can do better because we\u2019re older. We have life experience and access to lots of potential stories.\nPeople over 50 are the ones still buying newspapers \u2013 we can write for that audience.\nWe can help younger women. There was some discussion of \u201creverse mentoring\u201d, where an older and a younger person share knowledge with each other.\nThere wasn\u2019t too much of what one speaker called \u201clife-coachy claptrap\u201d, but we were given these tips:\nStop interpreting past successes as luck.\nDon\u2019t think of failure as a concept: sometimes things work and sometimes they don\u2019t.\nNever consider yourself too old for anything.",

That would be the last point Madras would score in the first quarter. The Lava Bears went on an 8-0 run and took a 14-5 lead at the end of the first.\nThe score was 16-5 in the second quarter before Kahne Herkshan hit a 3-pointer. A few plays later a pair of shots by Jordan Mitchell cut down Bend's lead to 21-12.\nDown 29-15, baskets by Patt and Herkshan kept the Buffs in the game.

Brown again kept the Lava Bears in the game with a basket, Patt drilled a deep shot. Madras had a 40-37 lead over the 6A Bend Lava Bears.\n\"There was that one stretch in about a 20 second period where Byron (Patt) scored nine points,\" head coach Evan Brown said. \"He has skills and abilities and we have been running some stuff for him. He has done a good job of knocking down shots.\"\nBend went on a 8-0 run, before the bleeding was stopped by Patt with a basket. A 3-pointer by Brian Warinner before the end of the third gave the Lava Bears a 48-43 lead at the start of the fourth quarter.\nPatt would hit another three to start the quarter and the Buffs were only down 48-46. A few plays later, Cole White hit a three for the Buffs, who were down 53-49.\nA few unanswered baskets for Bend extended their lead before Patt hit a free throw.

The Bend Lava Bears beat the Madras White Buffalos 68-52.\nWarinner and Brown led the way for Bend with Warinner scoring 27 points and Brown 21. They combined for 48 of the Lava Bears 68 points.\nFor Madras, Patt scored 28 points and hit six 3-point shots. Behind Patt was Miller who added eight points for the Buffs.\n\"There size took over at the end,\" Brown said. \"We were able to turn the ball over. They turned it over 28 times. We did not shoot the ball great, just OK, but it kept us in it.\"\n\"They just tried to use their height and throw it over the top of us,\" he said. \"Sometimes they were successful and sometimes we were able to get enough pressure to get a hand on the ball, which allowed us to get out and go.\"\nThe White Buffalos had a 9 day long break between their Dec. 11 loss and there next set of games, where they will be traveling to Seaside Dec. 20-22. During that break the Buffalos were working on a few drills and building some team chemistry,\n\"We are just getting a lot of shots up,\" said Brown. \"We did a big team building exercise in a scavenger hunt. That always ends with dinner at Abby's and they presented the things they found and paid the consequences with the things they did not find. So they were singing Jingle Bells in a packed Abby's Pizza last night.\"\nThe White Buffalos will not have another home game until Jan. 4, when they will take on the 6A Mountain View Cougars at 7 p.m.",

        "raw_content": "Heather Nauert: Who is the ex-Fox News presenter set to be Trump\u2019s UN ambassador?\nThe president described Heather Nauert as \u201cvery talented, very smart, very quick\u201d, adding: \u201cI think she\u2019s going to be respected by all.\u201d\nIf confirmed by the Senate, she will take over from Nikki Haley, who announced in October that she would be stepping down at the end of the year.\nBut the nomination has been met with concern, considering comments Ms Nauert has made in the past and her relative inexperience.\nShe has been in her current role as spokeswoman for the US State Department since April 2017.\nFrom March until October this year, the 48-year-old, from Rockford, Illinois, worked as acting undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs.\nBefore that, from 2012 until she was appointed to government by Mr Trump, she was a presenter on Fox and Friends, the news channel\u2019s flagship show that often featured the mogul as a political pundit before he ran for office.\nBut the most high profile criticism of Ms Nauert came after she gave the example of the D-Day landings as evidence of a longstanding relationship between Germany and Washington.\nShe told a reporter: \u201cWhen you talk about Germany, we have a very strong relationship with the government of Germany.\n\u201cTomorrow is the anniversary of the D-Day invasion. We obviously have a very long history with the government of Germany, and we have a strong relationship with the government.\u201d\nShe also shocked journalists when being quizzed about what the Trump administration was doing to help end the civil war in Syria by saying: \u201cI don\u2019t know what some of you expect us to do.\u201d\nHer appointment comes amid rumours of an impending reshuffle, as Mr Trump looks to clear out those who are less than loyal to his agenda.\nJonathan Swan, a reporter for US political website Axios, said earlier this year that Ms Nauert is one of the few in her department whose loyalty has never been questioned.\nA White House insider told him: \u201cWith all the stink attached to the State Department, she\u2019s one person who all the Trump people know is a Trump person.\u201d\nShe is said to get on particularly well with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, with whom she has visited multiple countries, in addition to those she went to with Mr Pompeo\u2019s predecessor Rex Tillerson.\nHer tweets since her appointment to the State Department nearly two years ago show obvious support for the administration\u2019s policies, but she has also retweeted investigative journalism carried out by news organisations Mr Trump has accused of failing or reporting \u201cfake news\u201d.\nShe has also remained a strong supporter of her former employer Fox News.\nEx-US ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, criticised the choice, saying her job as spokeswoman at the State Department is \u201cto read talking points and explain policy.\u201d\nHe said the job of UN ambassador was very different and usually requires foreign policy or diplomatic expertise or both.\nShe is likely to have to undergo an intense interview by the Senate as part of her confirmation process, but analysts say she is likely to be approved as the ratio of Republicans to Democrats is now 53-47.",

        "raw_content": "Western AustraliaLeader of the Opposition in the Senate\nSenator WITHERS (Western AustraliaLeader of the Opposition in the Senate) - I formally move the amendments which have been circulated, details of which I seek leave to have incorporated in Hansard.\nThe PRESIDENT -Is leave granted? There being no objection, leave is granted. (The amendments read as follows)-\n1. Leave out paragraph (1), insert the following new paragraph-\n(1) The Legislative and General Purpose Standing Committees appointed last Session (other than the Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs, which was re-appointed on 16 August 1974) be re-appointed and be known, unless otherwise ordered, as the Standing Committees on-\n(a) Education, Science and the Arts;\n(b) Finance and Government Operations (this shall include finance for States, statutory authorities and Local Government);\n(c) Foreign Affairs and Defence;\n(d) Health and Welfare;\n(e) Industry and Trade; and (0 Social Environment (this shall include Housing, Transport, Communications and the provision of other facilities).'.\n(2) The Standing Committees re-appointed pursuant to paragraph (1) be empowered to inquire into and report upon such matters as are referred to them by the Senate, including any Bills, Estimates or Statements of Expenditure, messages, petitions, inquiries or papers, and, in addition, have power to inquire into and report upon such of those matters as were referred to the same Committees appointed during the previous session which were not disposed of by those Committees.'.\n3. At end of paragraph (9) add 'and, at any time, upon a request by a quorum of members of a Committee, the Clerk attending the Committee shall convene a meeting of the Committee'.\n4. After paragraph (10), insert the following new paragraphs- (10a) Unless it be otherwise specially provided by the Standing Orders, the reference of a matter to a Standing Committee shall be on motion after notice. Such notice of motion may be given-\n(a) in the usual manner when notices are given at the beginning of the business of the day; or\n(b) at any other time by a senator-\n(i) stating its terms to the Senate, when other business is not before the Chair; or\n(ii) delivering a copy to the Clerk, who shall report it to the Senate at the first opportunity.\nAny such notice of motion shall be placed on the notice paper for the next sitting day as 'Business of the Senate' and, as such, shall take precedence of Government and General Business set down for that day. (10b) Unless otherwise ordered, matters referred to Standing Committees should relate to subjects which can be dealt with expeditiously. ( 10c) A Standing Committee shall take care not to inquire into any matters which are being examined by a Select Committee of the Senate specially appointed to inquire into such matters and any question arising in connection therewith may be referred to the Senate for determination. '.\nSenator WITHERS -The 4 clauses constitute one basic amendment. The purpose of the amendment is to re-establish the Legislative and General Purpose Standing Committees in exactly the same form as they were in during the previous Parliaments- in the first Parliament under the Labor Government and in parliaments under Liberal-Country Party governments. The Opposition does this for a simple but very vital reason. For a long time the Senate was accused of being all sorts of things. I can recall its being referred to as a lush grazing paddock for political hacks, an old men's home and in all sorts of other fairly derogatory terms. A number of years ago the Senate set out on a course of action, namely, to institute a system of Senate committees. As a result of this honourable senators themselves took an enormous pride in the work they were doing. They gained great satisfaction. They felt a personal involvement in what they were doing in the Parliament. Amongst the commentators, the media and the political scientists the Senate as an institution -\nSenator Murphy - This is music to my ears.\nSenator WITHERS -That is right. Therefore I understand that Senator Murphy will be supporting my amendment. Senator Murphy ran about this country for a couple of years almost as Mr Senate' quite wrongly claiming all the credit for what occurred. Senator Murphy must be given credit for the fact that he was one of those who pushed very strongly to promote the image of the Senate as an institution. He saw the Senate as an institution, as one of the 2 Houses of Parliament, which should take its rightful place in the community. I think it is an open secret within the Senate that on our side there were some problems with our Government at the time. The backbenchers decided that, irrespective of a lot of the Government objections and reservations, they would support the institution of the committee system. I can understand that no government would like Senate committees. They find out too much. Firstly the Gorton Government and then the McMahon Government were quite resistant to the setting up of the Senate committee system. I think that the fact that it was a part of the Senate was sufficient reason for some members of the House of Representatives to be opposed to the Senate committee system.\nI know that some resentment has been expressed by members of the House of Representativesnot particularly on one side- that quite often the Senate has been the more prestigious House of Parliament due to certain things. I do not know why the Australian Labor Party has a policy to abolish the Senate. Some of us here occasionally think that it would be far more sensible to have a policy to abolish the House of Representatives because this chamber seems to act in a far better way. These tensions existed but as the Senate committee system was being set up some years ago there was general agreement right around the chamber in spite of resistance from the then Government. I think it would be a tragedy if the Senate committee system were killed off merely by the Senate's now agreeing to the system as set down by Senator Murphy.\nIt provides for only 5 committees, leaving out 2 committees in which I believe the Senate has an interest. The first is the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence. I know the argument that there is a Joint Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence but, with respect to that Committee, I do not think that it has ever produced to the Parliament the type of report which the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence has produced. I can recall that when that Committee was chaired by my colleague Senator Sim it conducted an inquiry. I do not say this just because it had a Liberal chairman; I think that 3 Labor senators served on it, and Senator Sim would be the first to acknowledge the contribution that his colleagues made to it. I know from my association with Senator Sim of the enormous amount of hard work and research that was undertaken. The Committee produced a report on Japan. I do not think I would be overstating the case if I said that I consider it could be used within a lot of the tertiary institutions almost as a textbook on what Australia's relations with Japan ought to be and how we see the future developing. I think that is of enormous credit. It is just one aspect but, in addition to that, I understand that the Committee is at the moment about half-way through an inquiry into the type of Army that Australia should have in the 1970s and 1980s.\nSenator Murphyreferred to the matter of hides, at one stage, for inquiry by another committee, the Industry and Trade Committee. As I remember it Senator Murphy was very interested in hides in those days. Maybe his hide has got thicker or thinner since, I do not know. I recall one reference that went to that Committee at the time that Thomas Nationwide Transport Ltd attempted to take over Ansett Transport Industries. I think that was a reference moved from the then Opposition by Senator Murphy, or one of his colleagues, for the Senate Standing Committee on Industry and Trade urgently to investigate what ought to be done. I think at that stage that there was some worry as to foreign ownership content involved in Thomas Nationwide Transport Ltd taking over an Australian airline company. That was one of the rare circumstances when a Senate Committee was allowed to meet during the sitting hours of the Senate. It did so because it was engaged in very urgent business for the Senate. I think ex-Senator Prowse was the Chairman of that Committee. The present Opposition Whip, Senator Young, was a member of that Committee which did an enormous amount of work. The Committee worked very long hours. I think that the report they brought in is almost a text book case on how a Senate committee should work.\nI recall also the fact that ex-Senator Lillico, who was always very concerned about the pea and bean industry of Tasmania and the effects that the Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement had on that industry, had that matter referred to the Standing Committee on Industry and Trade. I cannot recall whether that Committee ever completed its report but it certainly did an enormous amount of work investigating the matter. Therefore, we in the Opposition believe that those 2 Committees ought to be reestablished. That is the purpose of paragraph ( 1 ) of my amendments. In effect, we want to set up 7 committees. One committee has been set up and the Opposition wants to set up another 6 committees but the Government only wants to set up another 4 committees. I believe that if the Government is opposed to setting up these other 2 committees then it ought to advance some arguments as to why they should not be set up. I have advanced some arguments as to why the Opposition believes they ought to be set up.\nI do not believe that the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence can do or will do the work that the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence did. We certainly need a committee on industry and trade. The purpose of the second part of my amendment is to stop the emasculation of the committees. What is proposed in Senator Murphy's motion, if I can paraphrase it in this way, is that committees shall inquire into and report on only those matters which have already been referred to them. When those inquiries are completed there is no reason for the committees to exist. As I understand Senator Murphy's motion there is no power to give committees further inquiries. The purpose of paragraph (2) of my amendment is to retain the possibility of all sorts of inquiries going to committees as they have in the past.\nThere have often been complaints in the pastnot only under this Government but under previous governments- that chairmen of committees often do not convene committee meetings as frequently as they should. My third amendment will ensure that a quorum of members of a committee can request a meeting. That is a normal sort of a requisition.\nSenator Murphy - Should not it be that the chairman shall have a duty? It is not right to have an officer -\nSenator WITHERS -I would not go to the barricades on that but the chairman might be absent overseas.\nSenator Murphy - The Acting chairman -\nSenator WITHERS -Perhaps Senator Murphyis right. But this was a method thought to be more convenient. I think that various bodies, which might be called private corporate bodies, such as sporting clubs, have this provision in their constitutions. I know that in the Constitution of the Liberal Party a method exists whereby a certain number of members of the Party can place a requisition, I think, with the General Secretary and the General Secretary must convene a general conference of the Party.\nSenator Murphy - That is fair enough. I just think that it ought to be the chairman who should have the duty.\nSenator WITHERS - Some constitutions provide for the general secretary to call such a meeting and some provide for the president to do so. I would not argue much one way or the other about it.\nMy fourth amendment inserts what appear to be new paragraphs (10a), (10b) and (10c). These paragraphs were in previous motions setting up the general purpose committees. They are the means by which references can be sent to the committees. It is a necessary provision and it is a method which has been used in the past. Proposed paragraph (10b) indicates that all matters referred to Standing Committees should be subjects which can be dealt with expeditiously. I think there is general agreement with that. Proposed paragraph (10c) states that any matters referred to the committees should not conflict with matters before Senate Select Committees.\nBasically the question before the Senate is: Do we wish the Senate committee system to continue? I know that another motion will be introduced later to establish a joint committee of the Parliament to look at the committee system. Be that as it may, we can set up a joint parliamentary committee that may well be around for 6, 1 2 or 1 8 months before it reports. The question before the Senate this afternoon, which I imagine will be determined before we suspend the sitting for dinner, is whether the committee system on which the Senate has made its reputation in recent years, which has given this half of the national Parliament an enormous prestige and a great deal of understanding in the community, ought to be continued. I believe it ought to be continued for another reason. The Senate committee system has provided a forum for people in the community who have an interest in particular subjects to present an argument and for that argument to be subjected to questions and cross-examination and given a great deal of publicity.\nThe Senate committee system has played an enormous part in helping a lot of what one might term 'non-political issues'. I recall that there was a Senate Committee on Air Pollution chaired by ex-Senator Branson. Senator Davidson chaired the Senate Select Committee on Water Pollution which did an enormous amount of the initial spade work on this problem in Australia. I believe that until that committee started sitting, calling evidence and generating the publicity of those concerned about the pollution of our water and air, there was no great public interest in this very grave national problem. As a result of what the Senate Select Committees on Air and Water Pollution did, all sorts of environmental groups have become interested. Those groups were able to generate publicity. I think it is as a result of that that most of the legislation which has been introduced- which perhaps does not control the evils of air and water pollution as effectively as we would like- has come about. In this way, I think the committee system has played an enormous part in the functioning of the Senate.\nThere are committees sitting at the moment. One committee, the Senate Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs, is chaired by Senator James McClelland and is examining divorce law reform. I know that this inquiry is taking a long time. It has been some 3 years since the matter was referred to the Committee. I think I was the original chairman of that Committee when it examined a reference originating with Senator Murphy. The trouble is, Senator Murphy's reference was so mixed up- like scrambled eggs- that it took some time to get to it.\nSenator Murphy - It was a beautiful reference.\nSenator WITHERS - It was quite ambiguous.\nSenator Murphy - It concerned law and administration.\nSenator WITHERS -Senator Murphy went into so much purple prose about inequities and injustices that we could not quite get to the matter. That Committee has done a very great job. I think the first reference given to the Committee was the Death Penalty Abolition Bill. After examination by the Committee the Bill was redrafted so that it was understandable. That was a committee which, I think, has well served its time in the Parliament. I do not think anybody would deny that the work done by the Standing Committee on Education, Science and the Arts has been of great value. I think that that Committee looked at the situation of isolated children. Another of its reports, that relating to frequency modulation radio- I think it was presented last year- has become the standard text for most or some of the Government's action in that field. It is not for me to comment in depth on too much of the reports which I do not completely recall, but nobody can deny the work that that Committee has done.\nHonourable senators can go through the list of these committees and their reports, bit by bit. The Standing Committee on Finance and Government Operations put down its report on probate duty. It was not a unanimous report, but basically there was a great measure of agreement around the Parliament. That is one of the great virtues of the Senate committee system. It has not only meant that senators from opposite sides of the chamber have had to work together of necessity and have come to understand each other better as people; as a result of the committee system I think we start to appreciate one another's point of view a little more tolerantly, even though we do not necessarily accept it. I always have envisaged the Senate committee system eventually leading to the sort of objectivity which a second chamber ought to be able to bring to bear without necessarily having the heat of political argument that is generated in the other place. It would be a great pity if that started to happen in the Senate. As a result of the Senate committee work I did in the past I made a number of friends, I hope, on the other side of the chamber. Without having been engaged in committee work and the occasional interstate travelling which is involved, that would never have come about and I would never have understood honourable senators opposite as people or understood why they hold certain views which I have learned to respect although I disagree with them. I think that this is very important if a parliament in a modern day democracy is to work properly.\nI am not trying to play politics over Senate committees. I have a commitment to them, and always have had, because of the many things they can do. I understand, as I said before, that often they can be a nuisance to any government. I remember the situation when we were in office. However, governments are not put into office to have an armchair ride. In many of the areas in which Senate committees become involved, as long as they do not become involved in what might be called heated political areas they can be of enormous value and advantage to the government. I remember that when I took over the chairmanship of the Senate Select Committee on Foreign Ownership and Control, the child of former Senator Byrne, it was said that that would be the hottest political committee which ever existed. It never got that way because the members of the Committee, irrespective of the party from which they came, had an interest in studying the problem to see how some of the matters which were arising could be resolved. To everybody's surprise- I know that we never got much credit for it- we put down a report in fairly quick time and that report, apart from the reservation of Senator Murphy and one of his colleagues, which was well understood by the Committee, was unanimous. The politics of the matter never overrode what the Senate Committee was attempting to do. For those reasons I urge honourable senators to accept the amendments I have moved to Senater Murphy' motion. I am convinced in my own mind that if the amendments I have moved on behalf of the Opposition Parties are not carried we may as well write about this day as being the day of the death of the Senate committee system.\nI will conclude by saying one more thing. This afternoon the Manager of Government Business in the Senate (Senator Douglas McClelland) made a personal explanation. To the best of my knowledge, belief and information, everything he said in that personal explanation was true. As far as I am concerned, as Leader of the Opposition in this place, it has not been because of any known action by me that these committees have been so long in coming into being. As I recall, the simple fact was that we came back here after the double dissolution to deal with a certain number of what we might term double dissolution Bills.\nThen we ran on to legislation. However, the legislative program was such that whilst I know that there was a desire by Senator Douglas McClelland to get to these matters- I do not suppose that he minds me saying this- it was talked about between Senator Drake-Brockman, Senator Douglas McClelland and myself but each time there was general agreement that if the Government wanted its legislation dealt with it had to have priority. It was for that reason, and that reason only, as I understand it, that this motion was not called on before today.\nSenator Sir MAGNUSCORMACK (Victoria) (5.25)- May I engage the attention of the Senate for a few moments. I am grateful to the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Withers) for moving these amendments. It has been the habit of governments in the years in which I have sat in the Senate, which go back to 1951, and in the years when I was out of the Senate, to watch what happens to the Senate and what in fact has been happening to the Senate. I suppose that for 50 years or so both the major parties forming the foundation stones of government which is embedded in the House of Representatives, and properly so, have tended to regard the Senate as a mere carcass on which the government of the day can eat. In other words, the concept of the members in the other place, irrespective of the government they are supporting, is to regard the Senate as a place where some gloss or enamel can be put on the decisions taken in the House of Representatives.\nThat was not intended to be the function of the Senate. The Senate was created to have constitutional functions. One of the constitutional functions that it was given was the capacity to review. The Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Murphy, will remember- I say that because I think I used these words once before in the Senate- that we got ourselves immersed in a concept of review which had no validity in the sense that we were regarding the review function of the Senate simply as a review of current legislation which was coming through from the house of government, the House of Representatives. But the reality of the review function of an upper chamber- certainly a chamber of the nature of the Senate of the Commonwealth of Australia- is that it has a threefold review function. It has to look back historically as it were, over its shoulders, to see what has happened in the past. It certainly has a duty to look at what is happening in the present. Fundamentally it has to combine those 2 capacitiesof being able to look over its shoulders and derive some knowledge and information from the sum of the experience of the past, and examining what is happening in the present in the context of what is likely to occur in the future. That is the first function of the Senate.\nI am repeating what I have said in the past. The problem which besets government in a modern society, whether large or small, whether in the United States of America or in Australia or New Zealand, is that of Parliament being able to match the techniques that are available to the Government. The Parliament has to be able to match those techniques without having the resources that the Government has. That therefore means that some area inside the Parliament- the Senate is significantly equipped to do this- must be able to inform the Parliament as to what has happened in the past, what is occurring in the present and what is likely to be projected into the future. Senator Withers has made this quite clear. That being a fact, I say quite categorically that the house of government is preoccupied with matters which are not related to these review functions and therefore the review functions I have mentioned have to be transferred or translated into the Senate which has the time, the expertise, the capacity and the interest to do this.\nI will go further than Senator Withers and say that, if an attempt is made to emasculate- I think that was the word I heard used- the capacity of the Senate to form its committees and to examine matters which the Senate refers to them, quite clearly the objective can be attained very easily. That objective is to reduce the Senate to a state of negation. When that has been done there has been set in being the patterns by which the Senate can be regarded as anachronistic and having no ability. Therefore, I beseech honourable senators, irrespective of Party, who have any belief in the constitutional proprieties, to carry the amendment and let the Senate get on with its job. Senator Withers concluded his remarks by saying that he, having once been Government Whip, regarded Senate committees as a nuisance to government. That is when they are a nuisance, but they are not a nuisance to the people who elect senators. Senators are elected to provide a check on government, to advise government and to enlarge the sum of knowledge that is available to the electors. Senator Withers mentioned, for example, the Senate Select Committee on Water Pollution, chaired by Senator Davidson, the Senate Select Committee on Air Pollution, chaired by Senator Branson, and other committees.\nSo I conclude on this note. If the Senate does not carry the amendment it will be putting itself into a position in which eventually the electors will say that it is an anachronism and should be abolished. Senator Murphy must admit deep in his heart, because he has used the committees to attain proper ends, in the parliamentary sense, the Senate's achievements during the last three or four years. The Senate must resurrect, give further life, further impetus and further support to Senate committees.",

We\u2019ve heard of pet sitters taking phone calls and bookings while driving, only to forget about the details (literally) down the road, with the consequences you can imagine.\n\u2013 Your pet sitter is walking dogs\nIt is basically impossible to have a cell phone conversation while holding a leash (or two, or three), a poop bag, and a notebook. The sound of the wind, people, and cars passing by make it difficult to listen clearly. Add a rabbit to the picture, and it\u2019s a recipe for disaster. Not only is it not professional to operate this way, it can be flat-out dangerous. As most dog walks are performed between 10 am and 3 pm, you can expect your pet sitter to be busy during these hours.\n\u2013 Your pet sitter is currently at a client\u2019s home\nMany may wonder why their pet sitter may not be picking up the phone during the rest of the day, like when they are caring for a kitty or after bringing a dog back from a walk.\nWe used to pick up the phone and return calls in our client\u2019s houses, but then we realized that most phone calls would last anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. It\u2019s unfair to our existing clients to have their pet sitter on the phone instead of paying attention to their pets. Plus, with more households having indoor cameras, security systems and home automation these days (hello Alexa!), it raises genuine concerns regarding privacy and personal information, where conversations could be watched and recorded.\n\u2013 Your pet sitter is on a tight schedule\nTo continue the previous point, many professional pet sitters are on a tight schedule. There are only so many hours in a day to perform all the pet sitting visits and walks, and delays can significantly impact a pet sitter\u2019s ability to get everything done. Needless to say, there is no way we can miss a single visit where you pets are concerned!\nMost of the (legit) phone calls we receive are from new clients inquiring about services, availability, pricing and policies. Because we want to be thorough in our answers, it is not unusual for these phone calls to go on for longer than a few minutes. As we can receive several inquiries a day, answering each one \u201con the spot\u201d or when we\u2019re between two clients would mean putting us back in the schedule each time. Unfortunately, this is not a sustainable situation, especially during busy times \u2013 and we feel it\u2019s unfair to our scheduled clients to be late for their visits.\n\u2013 Your pet sitter is meeting with a client\nA delicate part of this job is the meeting new clients and their pets. Most pet sitters will conduct consultations and \u201cmeet & greet\u201d sessions after business hours, or on the weekend. Of course, as a courtesy, your pet sitter won\u2019t be able to pick up the phone during a meeting.\n\u2013 Your pet sitter receives dozens of unsolicited calls everyday\u2026\nWhen you own a business, the cold calling never ends. The increasing number of calls that are scams, spams or just cold calling for services is astonishing and a big waste of time. If we suspect the caller to belong to one of these groups, there\u2019s a fair chance we won\u2019t pick up.\n\u2013 Your pet sitter is currently spending time with their family, or taking care of children, etc.\nJust like everyone else, your pet sitter needs some personal time and can\u2019t always pick up the phone, especially around dinner time, when picking up kids at school, or late at night. Be mindful that when you call around those times, it is likely you will have to leave a voicemail.\nSo, what\u2019s the best way to communicate with your new pet sitter if he or she can\u2019t pick up the phone right away?\nFirst, visit the website. These days, many pet sitters will put a lot of effort into their website, or like Paskapoo Pet Services, hire professional help to design an eye-catching homepage where all the information is readily accessible. Most websites will list the services provided, information about pricing, cancellation policies, credentials and their \u201carea of service\u201d. Within minutes, you can learn if a company is a good fit for your specific needs and save YOU a lot of time.\nOnce you\u2019ve found your perfect pet sitter, reach out with an email through the website. Make sure to specify:\n1. The type of service you need\n2. The type and number of pets\n3. The specific dates of service\n4. Your location within the city, and\n5. Any additional questions you may have.\nWatch out for an \u201cauto-reply\u201d or a confirmation of reception. It may end up in your spam folder!\nAt Paskapoo Pet Services, we love these emails \u2013 the more detailed the better! With a glance, we\u2019re usually able to tell if we can help in a situation or not. The information is written, clear and easily accessible for our record. The wonderful thing is that if we are not available to answer right away, we will when we\u2019re back in the office, usually on the same day, regardless of the time of day, or the night.\nNow of course, there\u2019s nothing wrong with leaving a voicemail or sending a text. But for all the reasons listed above, you might have to wait for the pet sitter to be in the best situation to call you back.\nHopefully, we\u2019ve been able to explain why pet sitters and dog walkers may not pick up their phone during the day and return calls as quickly as they\u2019d wish. A successful pet sitting company is a busy company, with lots going on and many clients and pets to keep safe and happy. We desire nothing more than to add you and your pets to our ever-growing family.\nIf we don\u2019t pick up the phone, don\u2019t give up on us! And if you don\u2019t feel like talking to a machine, shoot us an email. We will get back to you soon. We promise.\nEnjoy your next vacation! We\u2019ll make sure your pets do too.",

        "raw_content": "Francis Marion seeks to become more sociable\nAccording to Florence Morning News Digital Sales Manager Sarah Thibodeaux, social networking could help Francis Marion University (FMU) increase student enrollment and improve campus involvement.\nOn Tuesday, Feb. 19 in CC 112 Thibodeaux delivered a lecture to FMU department heads about how the university could more effectively promote the campus and its departments by utilizing social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.\nThibodeaux, who is responsible for all digital and online advertising sales at the Florence Morning News, said that taking full advantage of social media benefits will allow the university to promote its academic programs and recreational activities more successfully.\n\u201cI think FMU is in a great position to brand itself as the phenomenal college it is,\u201d Thibodeaux said. \u201cI think that if FMU enacts their social media strategy the right way, and they most certainly are on the right track, they can grow the number of students and grow their brand in years to come.\u201d\nShe explained that social networking is a more effective means of attracting potential students to FMU and increasing campus involvement because individuals from younger age groups enjoy communicating through social sites.\nThibodeaux believes that it is important that institutions, such as FMU, interact with their communities because it is essential for building personal relationships and maintaining public interest and awareness.\n\u201cIt is called \u201csocial media\u201d for a reason,\u201d Thibodeaux said. \u201cBut also, it is important for businesses to remember that Facebook and Twitter are basically extensions of their marketing campaign.\u201d\nThe university and some of its departments currently have Facebook and Twitter pages and are considering creating Pinterest and Instagram accounts. Each department has a different approach to how they use and manage their pages.\nAssociate Athletic Director for Media Relations and Marketing, Michael G. Hawkins, explained the athletic department has increased its use of social media to better interact with fans. According to Hawkins, his department frequently posts sports releases, in-game score updates, photos and encourages fan commentary. In addition to Facebook and Twitter, the department also uses YouTube to post game highlights and interviews with coaches.\n\u201cThe FMU athletics department uses social media sites in various ways with the intended purpose of increasing interest in Patriot athletics,\u201d Hawkins said. \u201cWe want to make sure that students, fans, and alumni always know when the Patriots are in action and the resulting outcome.\u201d\nThe Office of Admissions works to increase student enrollment by posting pictures of the campus, university life and intramural activities as well as providing interesting facts about FMU on its Facebook page. The office also informs students about academic opportunities by linking the page to the university\u2019s scholarship site.\nThibodeaux said that attracting a large number of students to the department\u2019s pages will be challenging, but it can be done if the content is interesting.\n\u201c[Gaining followers] is slow to start, but when it takes off, it booms,\u201d Thibodeaux said. \u201cYou just have to have compelling stuff.\u201d",

I write in the paranormal genre and love regaling readers with (im)plausible stories. As my bio states, I\u2019m a paralegal by day. While I love the profession that allows the analytical side of my brain to be put to use, writing is my absolute passion. \u201cThe Other Side: Melinda\u2019s Story\u201d is the first in theOther Side series. The second, \u201cThe Other Side: Trent\u2019s Story\u201d should be out fairly soon. The third, and what I believe to be the final book\u2014depending on what the characters tell me\u2014\u201cThe Other Side: Ben\u2019s Story\u201d is implanted in my mind, but not yet on paper. Look for all three books by following my blog or checking my website.\nI\u2019ll leave it up to my readers to determine if the creative side of my brain is worthwhile. Please feel free to send all comments and questions to me at sgardinier@queenwriter.com. I look forward to them and will respond.\n*******If you comment, more than a word or two, you\u2019ll automatically be entered to win a digital copy of \u201cThe Other Side: Melinda\u2019s Story\u201d! One name will be chosen and that winner will be notified via email, so be sure to include your email address! This is for today only, Saturday, September 19, 2015. Good luck!\nMelinda\u2019s family is dead, killed for information that is hidden deep within her mind. Her father tries to warn her from the \u2018Other Side\u2019 that she is in danger from the killers who want what only she can give them. Committed to Skyview Haven, she must determine if the \u2018Other Side\u2019 truly exists or if it is a trick of her heart and mind. With time running out Melinda must determine who she can trust. Is it the ghosts of her family, a boy who may not be who he appears to be, or the doctor who is determined to cure her? Can she figure out the truth before it is too late?\nHere\u2019s an exciting excerpt from The Other Side\n\u201cDon\u2019t be scared. It\u2019s just me.\u201d\n\u201cSuddenly, he was there. Standing right in front of me.\u201d\n\u201cI hugged him. I missed him and needed to feel his arms wrapped around me. I forgot about being mad at him. He finally pulled away from me.\n\u201cI can\u2019t go to your mother yet. She needs to believe first. Like you do.\u201d\n\u201cBelieve that you\u2019re dead but not dead?\u201d\n\u201cI didn\u2019t want you to go wake your mother until I spoke with you.\u201d\n\u201cHow did you know where I was going?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m in your head. I know almost all your thoughts.\u201d\n\u201cGreat. I couldn\u2019t have a moment\u2019s peace when he was alive and now he was in my head knowing all my thoughts. That\u2019s just what a young, teenage girl wanted.\n\u201cLeave me the hell alone,\u201d I told him as I tried to move around him.\n\u201cAs much as I missed him, and as much as I knew I wasn\u2019t making all of this up, I still wondered if I was imagining it in order to make myself feel better, not so lonely. You can tell my thoughts kept bouncing back and forth. First I believed then I didn\u2019t. All that soon changed.\n\u201cI can\u2019t. I\u2019m sorry to put you through this, but I need you to get through to your mother. She has to open her mind to me. I must warn her.\u201d\n\u201cAbout what? Wait. How do I even know you\u2019re my father? I\u2019m probably going crazy.\u201d\n\u201cYou\u2019re not crazy. I am your father. Ask me anything\u2026ask me something only I would know.\u201d\n\u201cI thought for a few minutes and remembered a time when I was ten years old at the Grand Canyon. I was afraid to get too close to the edge. Dad, sensing my fear, held me close and whispered in my ear something that took my fear away.\n\u201cFine. What was it you said to me at the Grand Canyon?\u201d\n\u201cI whispered in your ear that I had your hand and would never let go, not now, not ever.\u201d\n\u201cHe takes my hand then and my heart aches, wanting him back. Really back. I grabbed my hand away from his. Tears welled in my eyes at the memory of that trip to the Grand Canyon.\n\u201cYou\u2019re in my head. You said so yourself. That\u2019s how you know it. I remembered it.\u201d\n\u201cNo. I know it because I said it. I\u2019ll tell you something then that happened when you were very small.\u201d\n\u201cWhen you were two, you were running one day in the house. Your mother and I couldn\u2019t contain your enthusiasm once you started to walk. You were all over the place. On one particular day, you were scampering down the hallway. You lost your balance for some reason and slid into the small table by the front door. There was a vase sitting on it holding fresh. The vase fell on your forehead and cut you across the left eyebrow. You have a scar. It\u2019s barely visible, but it\u2019s there.\u201d\n\u201cI was quiet for a moment. I knew I had a scar there and I knew how I got it. My parents told me the story.\n\u201cGo to the mirror and look for the scar.\u201d\n\u201cI moved to my dresser mirror and stared at my eyebrow. I knew it was there. I didn\u2019t need to see it again, but I looked anyway. I ran my finger over it as if to erase it along with my father\u2019s voice.\n\u201cThat\u2019s when I blacked out.\u201d\nA paralegal by day, I\u2019m an author by night. Apart from being an award winning author for my short story \u201cCut,\u201d it\u2019s been said that I\u2019ve made my mark on the literary world with my Other Side series.\nHaving studied and obtained my Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Literature/Creative Writing, I found my unique style and have been known for my works\u2019 distinctive voice, making every character stand out.\nI\u2019m the founder and owner of Editing by Starr Reina.

        "raw_content": "If you're a boiled peanut fan, you'll pull over when you see this sign.\nSure, the American South gave us some great people: Rosa Parks, Helen Keller, Martin Luther King Jr., William Faulkner, Babe Ruth, Woody Guthrie. But let us not forget the other greats it gave us: boiled peanuts, cheese grits, sweet tea, fried chicken. Click ahead for the South's other culinary greats. But first, let's dig into where all these delicious treats came from.\nWe can trace the roots of Southern cuisine back to two things -- available resources and African influence. It makes sense that cuisine would be born out of a locale's most prolific crops. Foods like pecans, collards, turnips, sweet potatoes and peaches were readily available to Southern settlers. And plentiful rivers and lakes, plus the ocean, provided seemingly limitless amounts of crawfish, oysters, shrimp and catfish.\nThe African influence on Southern cuisine rose out of the slave trade. Slaves brought their own recipes and traditions with them, introducing foods like okra and black-eyed peas, and the method of frying food -- hence, Southern fried chicken. In Louisiana, French influence resulted in Creole and Cajun cooking.\nThe great thing about the South -- and about food -- is that it's always evolving. But some traditions die hard, and many of us carry them on year after year, often not even knowing why we do it. Let's take a look at some Southern food traditions and their possible origins.",

        "title": "Pittsburgh Quarterly Magazine - Explaining Donald Trump, Part IV",
        "raw_content": "There is so much emotionalism about Donald Trump \u2014 both pro and con \u2014 that I\u2019m trying to explain his behavior by looking at issues outside the man himself. I\u2019m looking at how people behave who have very similar personality types (i. e., mega entrepreneurial personalities, or MEPs) and at how people are likely to fare in the Presidency if they, like Trump, have never held elective office. In particular, I\u2019m looking at people who share both those traits.\nContinuing in that vein, I want to analogize Trump\u2019s tribulations to those of a similar personality, the MEP we know as Steve Jobs. Jobs died in 2011, but his life is pretty much an open book because of the prominence of the companies he founded or influenced: Apple, NeXT, Pixar, Apple again.\nThe analogies between Jobs and Trump begin with the fact that, like Trump, Jobs was a major MEP. He could be brilliant and he could be insufferable, and the ratio of accomplishment to lunacy changed over time. Jobs never ran for office, but he ran, or tried to run, four companies (counting Apple twice). That\u2019s not the same as trying to run a country, but Jobs\u2019 tribulations are highly suggestive. Since Pixar was a kind of sideline, something for Jobs to do to keep himself busy, I\u2019ll focus on Apple and NeXT.\nJobs\u2019 first iteration was as the co-\u200bfounder (with Steve Wozniak) of Apple Computer back in 1977. Jobs was only 22 years old and, even in his own mind, wasn\u2019t ready to be CEO of a rapidly growing tech company. In fact, Jobs\u2019 role at Apple was mainly as the head of the Macintosh development team. Apple had other projects \u2014 the Apple I, the Apple II and the Lisa \u2014 and a separate CEO. It had a board consisting of strong, experienced outsiders. In that environment Jobs accomplished a lot. The Mac turned out to be an iconic product and a technological and commercial success. Ultimately though, even with all the adult supervision around, Jobs eventually became so disruptive that, in 1985, he was forced out of his own company.\nFollowing his ouster from Apple, Jobs vowed not to make himself vulnerable again. He founded NeXT Computer in 1985 and, unlike Apple, where he had toiled well down in the hierarchy, at NeXT Jobs was owner, chairman of the board, and CEO. He held total power and no one was in a position to reign in even his most bizarre ideas or behavior. The result, on the one hand, was some terrific technology: parts of the NeXT operating system are used in the Apple OS to this day. On the other hand, NeXT was a commercial disaster, as we can judge by merely one statistic (supplied by Isaacson in his bio of Jobs): NeXT/\u200bJobs built a pristine, incredibly expensive, state-\u200bof-\u200bthe-\u200bart factory designed to churn out 10,000 NeXT computers every month. Unfortunately, NeXT never sold more than 400 computers/\u200bmonth.\nIn 1997, with Apple floundering badly, Jobs returned to the firm he had founded. Now in his early forties, Jobs hadn\u2019t exactly mellowed \u2014 his MEP personality was still way, way out there \u2014 but he had matured. He had married a strong woman and had a family, and the failure of NeXT had been a sobering experience.\nWhat does it mean to say that a MEP, whose many outsized personality characteristics include some normally associated with bratty children, has \u201cmatured?\u201d In Jobs\u2019 case, it meant that he had learned to focus on what was important and to leave everything else alone. When he returned to Apple, the firm produced dozens of products, most of them unimpressive, and Jobs ruthlessly concentrated Apple\u2019s attention on a small handful of products where it could excel. This required terminating thousands of employees, some of whom received Jobsian summary executions \u2014 they were publicly fired at the end of a long tirade about what bozos they were.\nSimilarly, Jobs\u2019 reality distortion field was still firmly in place, but it now had holes in it. Jobs would insist on some initiative that was plainly stupid or impossible, then eventually come around to reality but without ever admitting he\u2019d been wrong. \u201cI\u2019m sick of arguing with you a**holes,\u201d he would say. \u201cDo whatever you want.\u201d In other words, Jobs didn\u2019t stop being an MEP, but he stopped being a scattered MEP whose sometimes bizarre behavior disrupted the entire firm.\nIf an MEP is an MEP is an MEP, which is true, why does it matter that the MEP has matured and learned to focus on a few things that really matter? First, it means that everything else in the company \u2014 or in the country if you\u2019re an MEP who happens to be President of the U.S. \u2014 can operate normally, without being constantly unsettled.\nIt means, second, that the MEP is more likely to control his worst impulses because he is paying intense attention to the things that matter to him. During his first stint at Apple, Jobs certainly caused a lot of upheaval for the Mac project team, but not enough to prevent it from developing the Mac. It was his disruptive behavior throughout the firm that led to his ouster.\nBut in his second stint at Apple, having matured and learned to focus, the results were spectacular. In the course of just a few years, Apple turned out the iMac, the iPod, iTunes, the IPhone, and the iPad, a burst of corporate creativity almost unknown in the annals of business. During and shortly after the Tech Bust, Apple\u2019s stock fell to roughly $6/\u200bshare. But in 2011, just before Jobs died, it touched $400/\u200bshare. It doesn\u2019t get much better than that.\nI\u2019ll take a look at Trump\u2019s Presidency \u2014 so far \u2014 in this context next week.\nNext up: Explaining Donald Trump, Part V\nOther stories in this category: \u00ab Aaron Smith Takes on Big Issues in Readable \u201cPrimer\u201d Three Simple Questions on the Markets, Part III \u00bb",

Beto O\u2019Rourke raised a record $38.1 million in the third quarter, the campaign announced Friday, nearly tripling his overall fundraising haul for the cycle.\nThe blockbuster quarter surpasses the record for the largest fundraising quarter ever in a U.S. Senate race \u2014 set by Rick Lazio in his race against Hillary Clinton in New York in 2000.\nThe total was \u201cpowered by 802,836 individual contributions and without a dime from PACs, corporations or special interests,\u201d the campaign said in a press release.\nMost polls in the state place his opponent, incumbent Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, in the driver\u2019s seat still \u2014 though O\u2019Rourke has an outsider\u2019s shot at defeating him on election night, most experts speculate.\nTexas may be slipping from the bulletproof GOP stronghold it was over the last few decades, but it\u2019s still a reliably red state. President Donald Trump won there over Hillary Clinton by 11 points in 2016.\nO\u2019Rourke\u2019s report marks the sixth consecutive quarter that O\u2019Rourke has outraised Cruz, the campaign said\u2026.\nFiled Under: Politics, Polling Tagged With: campaign fund raising, Cruz, O'Rourke, Texas Politics, Texas US Senate race\nReality check on the Texas US Senate race\u2026.\nBut isn\u2019t likely\u2026.\nRepublicans acknowledge O\u2019Rourke\u2019s prolific fundraising abilities, but they believe it still won\u2019t help him overcome Cruz\u2019s consistent polling lead and the traditionally red dynamics of Texas.\nThough polls had shown a tight race through the summer, Cruz has regained his footing, with a recent Quinnipiac University poll showing him up by 9 points and a New York Times/Siena College survey having him ahead by 8 points. And both polls show that only a small amount of voters are undecided.\nO\u2019Rourke has never led a public poll.\nDemocrats haven\u2019t won statewide office in the Lone Star State since 1994, nor a U.S. Senate seat since 1988.\n\u201cThat\u2019s a lot of money. But I think all the money in the world is not going to help Beto at this point because I think he is self-identified as a national Democrat which means he\u2019s way too liberal to get elected in Texas,\u201d Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) told reporters at the Capitol on Friday\u2026.\nPresident Donald Trump will rally Texans for Sen. Ted Cruz in Houston next Monday, Oct. 22, as Cruz\u2019s race with Democratic Rep. Beto O\u2019Rourke enters the home stretch before the Nov. 6 midterm elections there.\nTrump had promised in August to campaign on Cruz\u2019s behalf, a promise Cruz heartily welcomed\u2026.\nMaybe the President will echo Lyin\u2019 Ted\u2019s peroration at the 2016 GOP Convention and tell Texans to vote their conscience.\nMore inspiring, uplifting and uplifting rhetoric from the Chief Magistrate:\nIs it really possible that Bruce Ohr, whose wife Nellie was paid by Simpson and GPS Fusion for work done on the Fake Dossier, and who was used as a Pawn in this whole SCAM (WITCH HUNT), is still working for the Department of Justice?????

        "raw_content": "We are in a world where social media seems to control a huge part of our lives. In a day, the average person will spend 24 hours online every week. In every week, the average person dedicates an entire day to surf the internet. Different social platform receive different amount of attention. Among the mostly used social media platform is Twitter. As of 2018, Twitter had a total of 328 million monthly active users. This provides a large pool of potential clients for many business. When used correctly, Twitter can, therefore, be an extremely important tool for business.\nTwitter can be used for different things. Presidential campaigns are hottest on Twitter, for instance. Cabinet Secretaries will post briefs of recent developments in their dockets on Twitter to reach the millions of users. Companies also post recent updates on Twitter to alert their clients as well as potential clients.\nAnother use of Twitter is getting specific answers or advice from experts. When one is experiencing challenges in a particular field, posting their difficulties on Twitter will expose the difficulty to the world. Anyone from any part of the world can come across the tweet and answer provide you with a solution. You will be lucky if your tweet starts trending catching the attention of millions.\nWhen a particular product becomes a challenge to use, Twitter makes it easier to find customer care services. Many companies today have an active Twitter account. Because the company\u2019s Twitter account is public, anything posted there is exposed to the public. As a result, the company is quick to respond to avoid receiving a backlash from the public. It is easier to receive customer support on Twitter than it is when calling them or sending an email.\nAnother very important use of Twitter is building of connections with potential clients. As people comment on trending hashtags, people find like-minded followers who they can grow one another. It can also lead to creating a connection with potential employees or employers.\nIt is clear that Twitter is an extremely important tool in the contemporary world. Having an account on Twitter is not enough. To build connections and be in a position to influence others, one must have many followers. The more the followers a user has, the more credible he or she is thought to be. To get Twitter followers free of charge, one can use the following five methods.\nGetting more followers can be hard and easy at the same time. One way of getting more followers is through tweeting frequently. The more you tweet, the higher the possibility of other users to find your tweets relevant. If you are relevant, many people will follow you. The difficult part of getting the followers is by remaining relevant.\nPosting visual content is another great way get more followers on Twitter. People are attracted by visuals. It is also likely that the visuals will be funny to some people. Anything funny on Twitter is a great way to earn followers.\nYou can also gain more followers by importing them from other social platforms. This can be done by sending them the link to your account. You can also directly ask them to follow you on Twitter. Those with Twitter accounts are likely to follow you.\nHaving many followers is another great way of gaining followers easily. Many people will fallow back whenever they are followed. By following people, you will see what the post. If you keep commenting on their posts, it is likely that they will follow you back.\nTwitter always presents the trending hashtags. By using many hashtags especially those that are trending, people likely see your tweets. The more visible your tweets are, the higher the chances of increasing the number of followers.\nUsing the above five steps, the question on how to get more Twitter followers is answered.\nUser\u2019s help companies grow. If followers of a company mention the company many times, the company gets free credit and is thought to be doing well. Its value can even increase through positive mentions by followers. For instance, whenever there is a lot of positive mentioning of Twitter Inc. by followers Twitter get free glory as a company and its value increases. If the mentions are negative, Twitter Inc., can see its value fall sharply. Twitter has also been used in different countries to put to shame people who violate the rights of others. Those who go against the morals set by society have also found themselves at the receiving end of Twitter users.\nCommercializing Twitter followers\nCompanies want as many people to be reached by the word about their products. The contemporary world offers such companies a good chance to use social media. People with many followers have been contacted by companies requesting them to include their company\u2019s name or product in their tweet. This earns the users a lot of money regardless of whether the tweet caused a change in number of sales made by the company/.\nThe post 5 Steps to Get More Twitter Followers in 2019 appeared first on AdsMain Blog.\nadvertising, Management, Media Buying Marketing, Pop, Programmatic Advertising Advertising Platform, Display Banner, DSP, Followers, Marketing, media buying, Native banner, Pop Banner, steps, Twitter, Video Banner",

        "raw_content": "1525 Camp Place \u2022 Susannah Coolidge and Fred Diegel\nFor Susannah Coolidge and Fred Diegel, location truly is everything. They fell in love with their American side-hall house on shaded Camp Place. Facing the finger park above Coliseum Square, the location offered proximity to Magazine Street and walkability to St Charles Avenue and the French Quarter for Carnival festivities.\nThe house at 1525 Camp Place is the sister property to 1521 Camp. Both were built in the 1850s as rental houses by German master builder Christian Lindauer and owned by the Lindauer family until 1892. The two houses remained together until they were sold separately in the 1920s.\nAs the neighborhood became less fashionable, 1525 was broken up into two units and subsequently four, and the property was altered to make it more accommodating to apartment living. The house had a myriad of tenants, including \u201cThe Hot Dog King\u201d Joe Loyacano, co-founder of Lucky Dog, who lived there in 1949 before building a mid-century ranch-style house facing Coliseum Square in 1952.\nIn 1995, then owner Michael A. Weidmer restored 1525 Camp Place after purchasing the property from JRF, an entity of the Preservation Resource Center. During its years as an apartment building, the house had suffered an insensitive remodeling of the front fa\u00e7ade, which Weidmer restored using salvaged materials from a nearby demolition. The oak-leaf cast-iron railing \u2014 a favorite feature of the current owners \u2014 was one of the few original details on the fa\u00e7ade to survive.\nMuch of the interior detailing also was lost in the apartment conversion; only the floors, stairs and banister are original to the house. During the restoration, every effort was made to save what was left. That commitment is demonstrated by a seam on the mahogany newel post. The original newel post had been sawed off to make space for a wall separating apartments. To restore it, a post was turned to match, split and married to the remaining piece.\nSalvaged materials also were used wherever possible, but the story of this 160-year-old house is told in the floors. Wear patterns, marks and scarring from walls constructed to divide the apartments can be seen throughout.\nPrevious owners left a box filled with objects that was discovered when digging out the old privy in the back of the property. Among the items were glass bottles, an inkwell and a pair of eyeglasses. Coolidge and Diegel now display the objects on the sill above the kitchen sink. The couple theorizes that the glasses may have belonged to Arthur Andrew Allison, a tenant who went missing from the house in 1941 and was described in a newspaper article as wearing the same type of glasses before his disappearance.\nOther noteworthy pieces in the home include a tapestry hanging over the living room fireplace. It was purchased at auction and had previously hung in Le Petit Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Vieux Carr\u00e9. Coolidge and Diegel also purchased much of their furniture at auction. They look for American pieces to go with the American side-hall style of their home.\nFor the living and dining rooms, interior designer Hal Williamson designed custom shades to let in light while providing privacy in a style appropriate to the age of the house. The hallway features art by family members, including a portrait of Coolidge as a child painted by her uncle, Jack Coolidge, as well as a sketch of her grandmother by her grandfather, artist John T. Coolidge.\nWhen the house was renovated, the previous owner placed a fountain off center in the garden so that it was on axis with the hallway and could be seen when entering the front door. The rear garden has a courtyard-like feel with brick pavers and an outbuilding constructed using salvaged materials during the renovation.",

        "raw_content": "Boxing Day Contest and Sale\nEarlier this week I said there would be a contest announced this week, and here it is.\nIf you leave a review on Amazon.com (yes, the US site, although you can leave reviews at the store for the country you live in, as well, but .com is the most useful) between now and my birthday (April 11th), you will be entered into a draw for one of my fantasy mugs. If you\u2019ve already reviewed everything I\u2019ve written, you\u2019re already entered. Note, this doesn\u2019t require the purchase of a new book. If you\u2019ve already read something of mine, you can review it if you haven\u2019t already, and be entered into the contest. Note that these need to be honest reviews\u2026 this isn\u2019t fishing for 5-star reviews. Any review, from 1 to 5 stars will be given equal weighting in the contest (although probably someone who thinks my books deserve 1 star wouldn\u2019t really want the mug).\nBut wait! There\u2019s another way to get an entry! Do you have a physical copy of A Noble\u2019s Quest, A Wizard\u2019s Gambit, or Demon Invasion? If not, they\u2019ve all been reduced to about as low a price as CreateSpace will allow, so there\u2019s never been a better time to pick them up! Take a selfie with one of my books, post it to the social media site of your choice, and tag me in it to make sure I see it (I don\u2019t check Facebook or Twitter much, and Google Plus doesn\u2019t necessarily show you everything you want to see, so tagging me is essential).\nWant another chance to win? Share this blog post (tag me on Google Plus, Facebook, or Twitter), and that\u2019s worth an entry, too!\nAnyone who leaves a new review and posts a selfie and shares the contest will get a bonus entry, for a total of four entries into the draw.\nThe mug has art from my three novels, without the text. It\u2019s a $15 value (plus shipping). This contest is open to anyone in any country. Happy reading!\nToday\u2019s the big day! All six of my ebook titles are available on Amazon for just 99 cents each!\nI\u2019ll provide a short blurb about each book. Five of these titles are related to my main epic fantasy series that takes place on my world, Illuma, and I\u2019ll list them in the order I recommend reading them in. The sixth is a stand alone short story that is unrelated to Illuma.\nA Noble\u2019s Quest (The Empire\u2019s Foundation Book 1) (originally $3.99 (75% off!))This story starts with Thomas and Sarentha, two lumberjacks, who get into a fatal fight at work and are forced to flee. Luckily for them, there\u2019s a mysterious nobleman who\u2019s looking for some expendable hired help. After they prove themselves to be moderately competent, the nobleman teams them up with his niece Eliza, who leads them around the empire and beyond doing odd jobs to uncover a terrifying truth.\n1100 BGW (Before Gods\u2019 War) This is a short story that was published by HDWPBooks in their Theme-thology: New Myths collection. It also hit #1 in the Free 30-minute SFF category on Amazon earlier this year.\nAmurtag, a simple minotaur farmer, has been called to a meeting. Although she doesn\u2019t know why she and the others have been summoned, the minotaur\u2019s new leader soon reveals himself. When she voices her doubts, she is taken aside to speak with him and learn more about his vision for their people.\nDemon Invasion (originally $1.50 (33% off!)) This novella illuminates the back story of the antagonist from my second novel. I liked him so much that I wanted to go back and show readers where he came from, and what his motivations are. A band of demons find a way to escape their fiery realm and run amok around Illuma, a lush, fertile world. Although they are mighty and tear many settlements apart, they soon discover that some of the lesser races have built up great power over the centuries since the demons were forced to flee to their fiery realm.\nA Wizard\u2019s Gambit (Empire\u2019s Foundation Book 2) (originally $4.99 (80% off!)) Thomas, Sarentha, and Eliza believe their empire is entering a new golden age. After they are given new roles of responsibility, events unfold that threaten to topple all they\u2019ve worked for. Outside forces attack the empire, and an undead plague spreads in the capital. It will be up to the fledgling heroes to uncover their lost history if they are to survive.\nDawn: A dwarven creation story This set of short stories look at important points in the history of Illuma. From a party of dwarves seeking to discover the fate of their holiest mountains, to a deceptive rogue attempting to uncover the Chamber of Creation, these short stories are action packed, and give fans a deeper understanding of historical events and magical items that appear in the novels.\nMacimanito M\u00f4swa This short story won honourable mention in the L Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future 4th quarter, this year.\nHannah, a single mother of two, is driving through Northwestern Ontario at night when a demon-possessed moose crosses her path. Does she have what it takes to keep her children safe in the middle of nowhere when her vehicle breaks down?\nPosted in Promotions | Tagged 99 cents, Boxing Day, Contest, Ebooks, Fantasy, Mug, Sale\nI\u2019ve posted a couple times about this event in passing, but as it\u2019s coming up soon, I figured it\u2019s time for a front-and-centre approach.\nOver 100 authors are taking part in the Spooktacular Authors Giveaway, where you can win copies of books and anything else that the authors are willing to give as prizes. Additionally, there\u2019s a grand prize of $100 USD PayPal cash. All you have to do to get entries is follow authors on their preferred platforms (as long as those platforms are Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and/or mailing lists. No G+ love \ud83d\ude41 ).\nI\u2019m giving away three stories to two lucky winners, including my soon-to-be-released short story, Macimanito M\u00f4swa, about a demon-possessed moose that terrorizes a suburbanite mother of two in the isolated wilds of Northwestern Ontario.\nAfter a period of crippling self-doubt, I\u2019ve come out the other side and started writing again. While not up to my usual weekly goal, it\u2019s a step in the right direction. I think Trai\u2019s cat might be my favourite character. Why? Find out by supporting me on Patreon! Just $2 gets you behind-the-scenes access, and this month\u2019s sneak peek is all about the black cat named Eclipse.\nPosted in Diary entry, Promotions | Tagged cat, demon, free, Giveaway, Halloween, Moose, Patreon\nA Wizard\u2019s Gambit, 99 cents\nI have no problem dropping the price on book 1 in a series, or on short stories or novellas, in order to generate interest in the rest of the series. I\u2019ve had A Noble\u2019s Quest down to 99 cents a few times, 1100 BGW hit #1 on SFF 30-minute reads when it was free back in January, and I\u2019ll be entering Demon Invasion into the free giveaway next month.\nBut this month I\u2019m trying something different, and don\u2019t expect this to happen again for a long, long time.\nA Wizard\u2019s Gambit, book 2 in my Empire\u2019s Foundation trilogy, is part of Patty\u2019s Promo, priced at just 99 cents. If you\u2019ve read A Noble\u2019s Quest, and plan on continuing with the series but haven\u2019t gotten around to picking it up yet, now\u2019s the time!\nOnce again, there are tons of authors involved, so take a look and see if anything catches your fancy.\nThis week I hosted a Writer\u2019s Hangout here in Guelph on behalf of Vocamus Press. Six genre fiction writers got together, and we had a good time talking about all sorts of writing-related topics.\nI also got feedback on my demon moose short story, and have printed off the copies and mailed them out for the contest. I hope it does well! I could use the $250 top prize to start saving for book 4 costs. The coordinator for the contest let me know I can publish it if I want, so I\u2019m going to look into doing that. Not sure if I\u2019ll self-publish or look for a magazine to submit it to. The wait times for magazines always irritate me, so I\u2019ll probably just self-pub.\nThe Indie Pride Day event on Facebook was a bust. Other than getting two new people to like my fan page on FB (Thanks!) nothing happened. A handful of likes on my posts, and some of those were fly-by 5 likes in under a minute, so it wasn\u2019t like they were reading the posts. Zero entries in my giveaway. Although they had said authors would get 20-minutes to post on the site if they were on the list, there was no actual policing of the event to make sure other people didn\u2019t post during your time. In the end, it was just authors posting about their work to other authors, and that never really works. I won\u2019t be bothering doing that event again.\nPosted in Diary entry, Promotions\nCollection Giveaway!\nIf you\u2019ve been following Indie Pride Day, you know that I\u2019ve been taking part in the event over on Facebook with a series of posts.\nNow is your chance to win A Noble\u2019s Quest, A Wizard\u2019s Gambit, Demon Invasion, 1100 Before Gods\u2019 War, and Dawn: A dwarven creation story.\nAll you have to do is e-mail your answers to the following questions to me at ryan@prcreative.ca. One person who answers all the questions correctly will get the entire collection. Everyone who answers correctly will win a copy of my #1 short story, 1100 Before Gods\u2019 War.\nAnswers can be found from my posts for Indie Pride Day on Facebook.\nWhat is the name of my epic fantasy trilogy?\nWho are the three main characters in A Noble\u2019s Quest?\nWhat sort of lich is in A Wizard\u2019s Gambit?\nName one demon from Demon Invasion\nOn the heels of launching my fantasy novella Demon Invasion, I received the edits from Karen Conlin for A Hero\u2019s Birth!\nThe novella came out pretty much as expected. I gave away 30 copies of it straight away, and that\u2019s about it. A couple people borrowed it from Amazon\u2019s KU library, and it\u2019s been pretty quiet otherwise. The author\u2019s proof from CreateSpace has shipped, but I\u2019m already pretty sure I\u2019ll be making a change to it. They e-mailed me to tell me that the cover has a blank spine because it\u2019s under 101 pages (it\u2019s 100!!!). I put in half the prologue for A Wizard\u2019s Gambit as a teaser, so I think I\u2019ll add the other half since it\u2019s from Glezxnodin\u2019s POV and boost the size of the novella by a few pages. I just like the idea of the spine having text on it so someone looking at their shelf will know what it is, y\u2019know?\nI\u2019ve been making good speed through Karen\u2019s editing notes. Even when she only writes \u201cnope,\u201d it\u2019s helpful because it\u2019s drawing my attention to problems that I know how to fix, but miss on my own re-reading. Things like my eyes glossing over hoard instead of horde, or mismatched subjects and modifiers. When she points them out, they\u2019re so obvious\u2026 three carts wide shouldn\u2019t be describing Eliza, but the cave entrance. I\u2019m seeing a pattern to the mistake that might help me catch it when I do it. I start the sentence with a description first without actually mentioning what is being described. Usually that was in the previous sentence, so my brain skips ahead to assume that the description makes sense, but when you read the actual words I\u2019ve written, it doesn\u2019t make sense. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll ever get to the point where I can keep all these rules straight in my head while I\u2019m writing, but I feel like I\u2019m getting better with each successive work. So I have to focus on being happy with improving myself, even if I\u2019m nowhere near \u201cgood.\u201d\nHighlights while going through her notes have been:\n\u201cyour orcs aren\u2019t standard fantasy orcs, clearly\u201d\nNope! I rather like my orcs. I hope readers grow to like them, too. Maybe even the goblins\u2026\n\u201cNow there\u2019s a visual. Really like the mix of action and humor you\u2019ve created.\u201d\nI was taken aback the first time I saw a review where the reader said they were surprised at the humour throughout the book. I was surprised, too! While certainly not a comedy, I do try to lighten the mood along the way to balance out the more serious issues. My favourite way of doing this is through dialogue with characters who are long-time friends, but sometimes I\u2019ll think of a visual that amuses me.\n\u201cNow HERE we have a good reason for the description. She\u2019s out to distract the men.\u201d\nLess is more. I really need to drill that idea into my head. The reader doesn\u2019t need to know the colour and style of clothing all the characters are wearing. The reader doesn\u2019t care about the hair/eye colour of this one-off, throwaway character. So it\u2019s helpful to see the examples where I\u2019ve done it right, and what sets it apart. I don\u2019t want my books to be clunky.\n\u201cThis whole situation delights the tar outta me. So. META.\u201d\nThis is one of those situations where I wrote something, and want to create a game out of it. The League was a lot of fun to create for the book, and an homage to time spent at the table playing games. However, this portion never actually happened around the table. Honestly, the only part of the book that happened at all is part of Thomas\u2019 story arc, but at the table Sarentha went with him. I don\u2019t remember where Eliza was, or what she was doing during this time. That\u2019s the problem with writing books 10 years after you played the game\u2026 some details grow fuzzy. But on the bright side, it gives me more artistic license to create new stuff, and I\u2019m tickled to hear that this went over so well.\nWhen an editor who works as hard as Karen reads my writing and laughs really hard at something, I feel so happy. I can\u2019t imagine how much she\u2019s read, so to come up with something that warrants a comment like this is wonderful! And speaking of wonderful\u2026\n\u201cthis whole last scene is WONDERFUL\u201d\nThat is about the opposite reaction my wife had to it. She cringed through so much of it! I\u2019m glad to see someone other than me appreciates it.\nAnd then two chapters later I cut an entire scene. It added nothing, and didn\u2019t ring quite true. So it\u2019s gone. This is why we have editors.\nOn the bright side, I powered through all Karen\u2019s editing notes this week. I\u2019m going to go through one more time doing key-word searches for terms that I tend to overuse, and scratch out names of throwaway characters. It makes sense that naming everyone takes up a reader\u2019s mental energies because a name implies importance to the story. So anyone who shows up once will have their name axed (unless they showed up in a previous book, or will show up in a future one).\nAuthor\u2019s proof!\nThis week I\u2019ll be reading for ChiSeries. If you\u2019re in the Guelph area, it\u2019s at the Red Brick Cafe at 8pm, and I\u2019ll be reading the first two scenes from Demon Invasion. CreateSpace worked fast to get me my author\u2019s proof, so I\u2019m going to use that to read from, instead of my e-reader.\nThe novella looks great. I wasn\u2019t sure how it\u2019d be in a 5\u2033x8\u2033 format, but it\u2019s actually pretty nice. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019d be worth the extra work to do a pocketbook. However, I adde the rest of the prologue to the book to get it over the 101 page mark. Having a spine without the author\u2019s or book\u2019s name on it looks weird.\nPosted in Diary entry, Promotions, Visuals",

        "raw_content": "Home\u203aLatest News\u203aSlump in China car sales has global impact\nA slump in China car sales has adversely affected the global car industry\nCar sales in China fell 11.6% in September to 2.4 million \u2013 the third month in a row of year-on-year decline.\nThe deceleration comes amid a slowdown in China\u2019s economy and has pinched performance at vehicle manufacturers around the world.\nAt Ford, September sales in the country tumbled 43% compared with 2017, the US carmaker said on Friday.\nThe report followed steep declines reported earlier by Volkswagen, Jaguar Land Rover and General Motors.\nThe China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, a government-backed industry group, said it still expected growth for the full year.\nBut some analysts predict 2018 could mark the first time since at least the 1990s that China \u2013 now the world\u2019s biggest vehicle market \u2013 contracts.\nChief executive of ZoZo Go, Michael Dunne said an investment advisory firm focused on China\u2019s car market this is new territory.\nChina\u2019s economic growth is expected to slow to 6.6% this year, down from 6.9% in 2017, according to the International Monetary Fund.\nThis week, the multilateral lender also cut its forecast for 2019 to 6.2%, citing trade tensions, as the US and China raise tariffs on each other\u2019s goods.\nDunne said the car market has been hurt by a regulatory crackdown on peer-to-peer lending, which was a major source of funding for car purchases.\nBuyers have also grown cautious because of concerns about the trade tensions with the US.\nHe said it doesn\u2019t affect them individually yet, but it\u2019s a cloud hanging over their lives.\nThe slackening in demand presents a problem for global carmakers, who have looked to the country as the world\u2019s next great market.\nJaguar Land Rover this week announced a two-week shutdown at its Solihull plant, after its sales in China plunged 46%.\nAt Volkswagen and General Motors, which rely on China for about 40% of their sales volumes, year-on-year sales in September were down 11% and 15% respectively.\nNor have sales at Chinese firms been immune to the weakening.\nThis week, Geely Automobile Holdings \u2013 one of China\u2019s biggest car companies and a strong seller this year \u2013 said it sold about 122,000 cars in China in September. That figure was up 14% from a year ago, but it slipped about 1% from August and marked a much smaller gain than the 30% or more year-on-year leaps of prior months.\nThe slowdown is being felt by companies to different degrees, but Dunne said every carmaker in the world was concerned.\nGlobal property price growth in third quarter of 2018 strongest in Asian cities",

        "title": "Here Are Some Jobs That Are Meaningful And Pay Well",
        "raw_content": "Here Are Some Jobs That Are Meaningful And Pay Well\nMany people get to a stage in their lives where they want to start giving back to the world in some way and realize that their current job just won\u2019t cut it. Sure, it pays well. But it\u2019s not providing them with a deep sense of satisfaction every time they go into the office. It\u2019s paying the bills, but it\u2019s not making the world a better place.\nRecently, however, website Payscale \u2013 a sort of data aggregator company for the job market \u2013 tried to find out which jobs were the most satisfying and made people feel as if they were making a difference. They asked survey participants whether their job made the world a better place and got them to respond with either, \u201cyes, very much so,\u201d \u201cyes, a little,\u201d \u201cperhaps,\u201d \u201cno, not much\u201d and \u201cno, my job makes the world even worse than it already is.\u201d\nThe results of the study were interesting.\nTop of the list for the most meaningful job were neurosurgeons. The job of a neurosurgeon is to diagnose and treat diseases of the brain and the peripheral nervous system. But what was so interesting about neurosurgeons was the fact that they also happened to be one of the highest paying jobs in Payscale\u2019s study, bringing home an average of $381,000 a year. According to the results of the survey, more than 97 percent of neurosurgeons said that their jobs were meaningful.\nNeurosurgeons weren\u2019t the only medical-type job on the list. In fact, the list was dominated by people in the medical sector who seemed to genuinely believe that what they were doing was making a massive difference to the world. Psychologists and social workers also featured highly on the list too, even though they had lower pay that many medical professionals, which may explain the uptick in the number of people taking counseling psychology degrees. Psychologists and social workers are on the frontline of mental health issues in our society, one of the greatest scourges of the 21st century.\nCardiothoracic surgeons also reported high levels of \u201cmeaning.\u201d According to the Payscale report, more than 91 percent of those they interviewed said that they thought that their jobs were worthwhile. Given that the average cardiothoracic surgeon gets paid more than $358,000 a year, it\u2019s not hard to see why.\nThat healthcare workers should dominate the best paying and most meaningful jobs shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise. Healing the sick and repairing the injured is a noble quest because the human benefits are immediately obvious. A person who comes into the ward with a broken leg leaves with their leg fixed.\nOther people on the list including CEOs and fire chiefs. That CEOs should make an appearance, again, shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise. As the leaders of businesses, they tend to believe that the products that they sell are helping to make people\u2019s lives better.\nHaving meaning in one\u2019s job appears to be important for one\u2019s happiness. According to the results of the survey, people who have high levels of meaning in their jobs are happy 85 percent of the time with their work, compared to 72 percent of the time for those who don\u2019t derive as much meaning.",

        "raw_content": "WHERE\u2019S MAY? Humiliated Prime Minister SNUBS Commons after defeat \u2013 \u2018Can she return?\u2019\nBritain\u2019s biggest gambling firms have voluntarily agreed to a TV ad blackout running from \u201cwhistle-to-whistle\u201d during soccer matches.\nThe Remote Gambling Association (RGA), an industry lobby group whose members include bookmaker\u2019s William Hill, Paddy Power and Ladbrokes, will agree to stop the ads during live broadcasts, which have become commonplace across English soccer.\nNo formal announcement from the RGA has been made, but it is looking to confirm the move early next year.\n\u201cWe made a number of proposals which are being considered by the members of the Industry Group for Responsible Gambling.\u201d Clive Hawkswood, the chief executive of the RGA, told CNBC. \u201cWe are of course hopeful that IGRG will agree changes to the Code, but that process has not been completed yet.\u201d\nAnti-gambling campaigners and politicians have voiced concerns about the volume of bookmaker\u2019s adverts on TV and how it potentially glamorizes gambling.\nU.K. Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Jeremy Wright, said via social media Thursday it was a \u201cwelcome move.\u201d\n\u201cGambling firms banning advertising on TV during live sport is a welcome move and I am pleased that the sector is stepping up and responding to public concerns,\u201d he said.\nOver half of the soccer teams in England\u2019s top two leagues in England currently have gambling sites as their main shirt sponsor and the increasing influence of these companies has grown relatively unchecked in recent years.\n\u201cInvestors in U.K. gambling stocks may be worried about another regulatory measure in the shape of a proposed ban on advertising during live sports events, but the effect on earnings should be modest,\u201d said Irish wealth management company Davy Research.\nThe brokerage says FTSE 100 companies Paddy Power Betfair and GVC Holdings, which owns big betting firms Ladbrokes and Coral, both spend between \u00a340 million ($51 million) and \u00a350 million annually on British TV advertising, some of which may now be redeployed.\nDavy said the returns on TV advertising are modest and the change won\u2019t materially affect earnings forecasts. On Thursday, GVC shares closed 5.6 percent lower, Paddy Power Betfair down 2.8 percent and William Hill registered a near seven-year low.\n\u201cHowever, it is a necessary development, in our view, and nudges the sector towards a more sustainable footing.\u201d Davy went on to say.\nBet365, which sponsor the shirt and stadium of Stoke City, has become one of the most prevalent advertisers on British TV, using BAFTA-nominated actor Ray Winstone to promote its in in-play advertising on TV. It\u2019s owned by Peter and Denise Coates and recently logged profits of \u00a3660 million in its latest accounts.\nTelevision advertising helped the U.K. gambling industry see \u00a35.35 billion wagered online during 2017, according to the Gambling Commission. That\u2019s compared to the \u00a35.55 billion spent in betting shops, casinos, arcades and bingo halls combined.\nAirbus\u2019 Global Market Forecast from the year 2000 predicted that 1,235 \u201cvery large aircraft\u201d would be delivered to customers between 2000 and 2019. But as of January 2019, Airbus had received 313 firm orders and delivered just 234 aircraft.\nThe firm\u2019s lofty target was swiftly undermined by the arrival of more fuel-friendly offerings such as Airbus\u2019s own A350 or Boeing\u2019s 787 Dreamliner.\nThe smaller aircraft were lighter and could be run more efficiently as the expectation of a steep rise in passenger travel failed to materialize. It was also found that very few routes could operate the A380 at full capacity.\nTiming does seem to have been a problem. As the A380 hit the world\u2019s runways, a worldwide liberalization of flight routes known as \u201cOpen Skies\u201d was underway. This allowed airlines to downsize their planes and fly more regularly.\nAdded to that is the rise of the ultra long-haul flight. Airlines have asked both Boeing and Airbus to come up with planes that can haul passengers from one side of the world without stopping.\n\u201cHe made a veiled threat that \u2018Tomorrow everyone is going to pay\u2019 or something to that effect,\u201d a former Facebook security employee told CNBC.\nSeveral of the former employees questioned the ethics of Facebook\u2019s security strategies, with one of them calling the tactics \u201cvery Big Brother-esque.\u201d\nOther former employees argue these security measures are justified by Facebook\u2019s reach and the intense emotions it can inspire. The company has 2.7 billion users across its services. That means that if just 0.01 percent of users make a threat, Facebook is still dealing with 270,000 potential security risks.\n\u201cOur physical security team exists to keep Facebook employees safe,\u201d a Facebook spokesman said in a statement. \u201cThey use industry-standard measures to assess and address credible threats of violence against our employees and our company, and refer these threats to law enforcement when necessary. We have strict processes designed to protect people\u2019s privacy and adhere to all data privacy laws and Facebook\u2019s terms of service. Any suggestion our onsite physical security team has overstepped is absolutely false.\u201d\nFacebook is unique in the way it uses its own product to mine data for threats and locations of potentially dangerous individuals, said Tim Bradley, senior consultant with Incident Management Group, a corporate security consulting firm that deals with employee safety issues. However, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\u2019s general duty clause says that companies have to provide their employees with a workplace free of hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm, Bradley said.\n\u201cIf they know there\u2019s a threat against them, they have to take steps,\u201d Bradley said. \u201cHow they got the information is secondary to the fact that they have a duty to protect employees.\u201d\nTreasury yields also fell on the weak data. The benchmark 10-year rate traded around 2.66 percent, down from about 2.69 percent.\nThe U.S. dollar also fell against other major currencies. The euro rose 0.3 percent to $1.1298 against the dollar, while the yen gained 0.2 percent.\nLael Brainard, a Federal Reserve governor, told CNBC on Thursday that downside risks to the economy \u201chave definitely increased.\u201d\nThe data come amid ongoing the U.S.-China trade talks. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that talks were \u201cgoing very well\u201d as both sides look to reach an agreement before an early March deadline. On Thursday, Bloomberg News reported Trump may be willing to extend the deadline by 60 days.\nFurthermore, the South China Morning Post reported that Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet with U.S. delegates on Friday, including Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer.\nThe S&P 500 and Nasdaq came into Thursday\u2019s session riding four-day winning streaks. Both indexes, along with the 30-stock Dow, were up at least 1 percent as of Wednesday\u2019s close.\n\u201cA lot of people, including myself, think a trade will get accomplished,\u201d said Ryan Nauman, market strategist at Informa Financial Intelligence. \u201cThe fact that President Trump is potentially willing to extend that deadline is good news that a trade deal will get done. It\u2019s just a matter of when.\u201d",

        "title": "DEAR LANEY: THE RAD GIRL BRUNCH \u2014 #projectDARLA",
        "raw_content": "On Sunday June 12, 2016 DARLA Magazine had the opportunity to host Dear Laney's Rad Girl Brunch at a private venue in Philadelphia. The brunch included a great breakfast buffet with bottomless mimosas as well as a showcase of the new Dear Laney summer collection, 4PM in Napa. As the collection was being shown to all of the Rad Girls in attendance, DARLA held a live interview with Dear Laney's owner and designer, Cali. Cali launched Dear Laney in 2013 as a vintage-inspired line that was a reflection of her personal interests and enthusiasm for vintage clothing. She is a self-taught designer (with some help from YouTube) and she combined her love for fashion with photography, blogging, and people-watching to create the Dear Laney brand.\nThe whole concept behind the Dear Laney line + blog is to create an open platform so that girls can relate to Laney \u2014 Laney is the inspiration for everything so she's me, she's you, she can be anyone. Our customers are called The Raddest Girl On The Planet because I feel like anyone who wears Dear Laney is like the coolest girl ever!\nFor a more vivid idea of \"The Raddest Girl On The Planet,\" envision a girl who sips chai tea while she listens to classic music from Frank Sinatra... But also hustles hard everyday to turn her dreams into reality while bumping Jay-Z through her headphones. She's a vintage maven who likes to dress in flowy kimonos and jumpers and if she had a stylist, it would be Rebecca Jefferson \u2014 the same stylist as Jhen\u00e9 Aiko. She's very creative with a timeless, effortless style and is passionate about using her talents and voice to make the world a better place. Definitely, the coolest girl ever.\nDear Laney2\nFor clothing, Dear Laney provides vintage-inspired pieces that women of all sizes can wear comfortably as well as very basic pieces that can be mixed and matched with accessories. They come up with the silhouettes for each new collection by customer reviews and by finding out what women of all sizes like to wear. Dear Laney focuses on staple and transitional pieces so that customers have a selection of essential items ranging from jumpers to wide-leg pants, to flowy dresses that can be taken from day-to-night looks. \"When it comes to the patterns and colors of each collection, I like to play it safe. I choose neutrals, like nudes and blacks because that allows my customers to be able to go real crazy with their jewelry and shoes!\"\nFor summer, the inspiration behind the collection is 4PM in Napa and for spring we did 12PM in New York. Counterclockwise, it's going to be a 24 hour period of each collection for the next four seasons. Each collection is inspired by where I want to go and what I want to do, so I spend time at that place and just grab all inspiration behind it. When we went to New York for the spring collection, I just spent the day there getting all the vibes, looking at different things like the architecture, how things work, and how people are. That's how I create. I just do research, sketch, and then go create the garment.\nThe 4PM in Napa collection showcased during The Rad Girl Brunch consisted of jumpers, dresses, tops, and bottoms that are perfect pieces to wear for all summer activities including beach days, a night in the city, and even weddings! From Dear Laney's, \"Laney Dress,\" which is their first silhouette ever made to the \"Bailey Jumper\" that can be be worn on a date night or girls night out, there are pieces to complement the body and lifestyle of any woman.\nxodearlaney.com\nDear Laney is currently sold online through their website, xodearlaney.com and they recently just got their items into five boutiques; three in California and two in Philadelphia. For the future, they plan on doing more pop-up shops until they are able to open up their own store. Dear Laney is also working on collaborations with boutiques and other brands including a special project with a sponsor of The Rad Girl Brunch, Virginia Blu. The mission of Virgina Blu is to tie a purpose to fashion. They explained to us how when you purchase and wear their T-shirts, you're fighting against cancer as the brand stands behind the cancer society, Susan B. Komen and is working to expand as a global brand. Dear Laney and Virginia Blu just teamed up to collaborate on T-shirts and a big project together to have both of their purposes and brands joined together.\nWe had such a great time at Dear Laney's Rad Girl Brunch and we were honored to have been able to host the live Q&A during the event. Check out our interview below to learn more about the story and inspiration behind Dear Laney as well as some valuable advice from Cali for establishing a brand of your own!\ndl logo\nvictoriadrianna: What's the story behind your brand name, Dear Laney?Dear Laney: I got the name from my Grandpop \u2014 his name was Laney and he passed away in 2012. I told him that I've always loved his name and I'd say, \"If I have a daughter, but probably not... Or a dog, but I can't because I'm allergic to them.... Or basically when I have my first SOMETHING.... I am going to name it Laney.\"\nI was thinking of names for my brand for an entire year after he passed away before it came to me, though. It started off as an online vintage store called, \"Chai Tea Vintage.\" Chai Tea is my favorite tea in the world so I got that name from my grandmother who also loves Chai Tea + how I'm, what I like to call myself, a vintage maven.\nWhen I went to start my original brand, I was constantly writing down things trying to decide on a name but I did't feel like anything was good enough. Then a year after my grandfather died, I wrote him a letter starting off with, \"Dear Laney,\" and when I was looking at it I was like, \"OMG, I love that!!\"\nI took that name and then I made it into a girl who is my alter ego. Everyone thinks that Laney is my name but it's not, haha! I just created my brand around that. Now if you get a Dear Laney garment, you get a piece of me; it was created by something I was truly inspired by. That's why I write letters through my online diary... So I can talk about who inspires me and where I get my inspiration to create.\nV: What do you want the Dear Laney brand to represent in the world?DL: Ultimately, I want to create more for Dear Laney because I like to call it my \"Limitless Brand.\" I don't want it to be just a fashion brand \u2014 I feel like I can do so much more with it! It's more than just fashion; Dear Laney could be a movie, it could be a store, it could be a book, we could be different non-profits. Next summer, we're starting \"The Rad Girls Club\" which is going to be an after school program for young girls, kind of like the YMCA. We just got approved for that and eventually we'd like to launch that as a full summer program.\nV: From reading your blog, I learned that you made the decision to quit your job to pursue Dear Laney full-time. How did you go about making that decision?DL: Two weeks ago, I quit my full-time job to start Dear Laney full-time and I took a part-time job at a retail store just to get by. This year, I just want to be able to fully go for it instead of working another job full-time because I think when you do that, it just takes away from everything and you end up putting your passions on the back burner. That's really important, especially if you're passionate about something. I always say, \"Push your passions,\" and I'm always tweeting \"Hobbies become careers...\" Because the more you push it, the more you'll believe in it, then the more everyone else will believe in it and you'll be able to achieve it!\nV: What are some challenges you face while running your own company?DL: Getting people engaged while I'm still working part-time is a current challenge. I really only get time to post while I'm off or while I'm on break... So maintaining continuous interest is something I feel is really hard to keep up with.\nV: What is some advice you would give to someone who is trying to conquer the branding aspect of creating a business?DL: Wait and really understand your market; study! I feel like when I first started, I wanted to rush to post everything I've done after a photo shoot or something like that instead of really getting a good end product. Mastering your craft is really important. When you master your craft and perfect everything is when you should put stuff out and talk about it.\nV: How do you use social media to connect with your customers?DL: We use all social media platforms \u2014 Instagram, Twitter, FaceBook, the blog, and now we're going to start using Periscope. All of our posting on social media is run by our brilliant Brand Manager, Victoria.\nV: You told me earlier that you started off as a blogger before you became a designer. How did you get into blogging + how did you make your career transition into entrepreneurship?DL: On my 21st birthday, I was at the 40/40 club and I met these guys who were Ques. One of the guys was a videographer; his name is Don Napoleon and he just won an Emmy at the time. We were all just talking and drinking and having fun, but once he told me that \u2014 he immediately caught my attention. He asked me, \"So what do you do?\" and when I told him about my interest in fashion, he encouraged me to start a blog which I started in 2010. After that, he invited me to Fashion Week as his apprentice.... And ever since then, I was just blown away and everything just grew from there!\nInstagram: @xoDearLaney\nV: How do you feel about running your company in Philadelphia vs. other cities that are more well-known for fashion?DL: I like the west coast, but I feel like there are so many similar brands to mine there, so it's like... How would I stand out? Here, there's only Free People which is also a Philadelphia brand and I figure if they do it, and they've been around for over 25 years, that it should be easy if I just stick to it. I think you can start off anywhere! People often think that you have to go to New York, LA, or Miami... But you have to look at it more like how Drake is from Toronto and there were NO rappers that were cool from there before him. I just feel like if you can make it in your own city, then you can make it anywhere! You've just gotta hustle.\nV: Entrepreneurship isn't always a sure thing when it comes to making a living, and a lot of people battle with taking that risk and getting the courage to start... How did you get the courage to start your own business?DL: It just came to me one day because I know I didn't want to work for someone forever. I know I'm creative and I feel like working a job sometimes puts you in a box... Like a 9 to 5, sometimes just makes you go crazy! I noticed that I was always jumping from job to job because I would mentally check out within a couple of months. That's how I knew that I needed to do something on my own and something specifically in fashion because it's ever-changing and flexible.\nV: What advice would you give yourself for motivation through a tough time and to encourage yourself to keep pushing to achieve your goals?DL: \"You came this far, what's the point in giving up? Giving up is for suckers and I'm not a sucker!\" If you're at the bottom, the only place you can go from there is up. It's either that or quit, but quitting makes you a loser... And everyone will know!\nV: DARLAMagazine.com operates on a Sunday schedule to meet the busy lifestyles of our audience, so it's so cool that your brunch is taking place on a Sunday as well! How would you spend a Sunday free from work?DL: I always say, \"Sundays are for lovers!\" I wake up, grab coffee, and of course check all social media... Basically social-media stalk bloggers and all the cool girls I follow. After that, I like to just lounge around, hang out with my friends, and maybe do brunch... I keep it easy!\nI can't wait to see what Dear Laney has in store for the future!

        "raw_content": "PRSA Executive Council Statement on Charlottesville and White Supremacist Violence\nPosted on August 29, 2017 by amr17008\nThe Puerto Rican Studies Association (PRSA) Executive Council (EC) condemns the acts of terrorism perpetrated by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017. Like many, we are concerned by increasing white supremacist intimidation and violence in the United States. The PRSA EC reiterates its commitment to actively working toward the eradication of racism through education and community engagement. We will continue to support scholars, activists, and artists working to challenge racial hierarchies and structures of inequality within the United States, Puerto Rico, and around the globe.\nAs an association concerned with Puerto Rico and its diaspora, we especially wish to denounce the actions of those who participated in the brutal assault on De\u2019Andre Harris, a Black educator and activist. Particularly a Puerto Rican man who admitted to participating in the assault, but repeatedly suggested he could not be racist because he is Puerto Rican. Unfortunately, this is a line of thinking with which we are all too familiar. As an association, the PRSA EC will continue to promote scholarship that examines anti-Black racism within Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rican diaspora. We must be attentive to the ways in which histories of slavery, colonization, and spatial segregation have created and consolidated anti-Black and white supremacist ideologies within the Puerto Rican community that result in the kinds of violence we witnessed in Charlottesville.\nWe stand with those demanding that monuments to white supremacy be taken down. We support those taking to the streets to send the message that racism and fascism will be resisted and we applaud those fighting for a better and more inclusive future.",

The narration style was very unique and innovative, and debut director Arun Prabu Purushothaman shows great promise in these scenes.\nI wished that the entire movie had followed that pattern; But there is a change of gear there, and we realize that the initial scenes were to create a background for the remaining part of the film, which has a few long sequences that address multiple topics like criticism on the media injecting consumerism, hypocrisy of \"television reality shows\", etc. The performance by debut actor Aditi Balan in the key role is amazing, and overall Aruvi makes great viewing.",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s the last day \u2013 and the last post \u2013 of the month, so it\u2019s time for me to share my latest \u201cgrab bag\u201d of useful links (see previous editions here). But before I do, I want to thank everyone who gave me such kind feedback on my last few posts related to the subject of hobbies. I loved all of the wonderful suggestions I received for new interests, as well as the compassion you extended to me regarding my challenges of late.\nIn addition, I was very pleased that so many of you liked the photographs I shared in my last post. It meant a lot to me that some of you complimented my eye for composition. I feel like I\u2019m on the right track with my new hobby and I\u2019m sure my photos will only improve with time. A few of you mentioned that you\u2019d like me to share more of my photos in future posts, so I plan to do that periodically. In fact, I took the photo below just yesterday at the La Jolla Cove! It was a beautiful day here in San Diego, so it was nice to spend a bit of time at the beach capturing the landscape for my sick friend and all of you.\nLa Jolla Cove swimmers and sunbathers \u2013 April 29, 2015\nIncluded below are links to articles I think you\u2019ll enjoy on the subjects of shopping and shopping psychology, wardrobe management, style, and personal development. I\u2019m also sharing a few early \u201cRecovering Shopaholic\u201d posts that you may have missed the first time around (or may choose to revisit now).\nI certainly do not expect you to click on all of the links in these posts. Just explore the ones that most intrigue you. You can always go back to this post later via my Archives page if desired. While you\u2019re on the site, you might also want to check out my Recovery Tips and Resources pages, as well as learn about my two books. Also, if you\u2019re new to \u201cRecovering Shopaholic,\u201d I invite you to visit my Start Here page, which contains useful information about the blog, as well as links to some of my most compelling and helpful posts. Okay, here are the links:\n\u201cWho Made Your Clothes? A \u2018Slow Fashion\u2019 Revolution Rises\u201d \u2013 The rise of \u201cfast fashion\u201d has led to myriad human rights violations in garment factories, as well as unregulated pollution of the environment. This article on Fortune.com shares some of the ways activists and responsible brands are working to turn things around, including the recently created Fashion Revolution Day.\n\u201cShopping Addiction Symptoms, Causes and Effects\u201d \u2013 If you\u2019ve ever wanted to read a concise overview of shopping addiction, this guide from PsychGuides.com fits the bill. It covers the different types of compulsive shopping, common signs to watch out for, how to tell if you or someone you love is a shopaholic, and more. Although this guide is sponsored by an addiction recovery center, I feel the information is unbiased and covers key points on the topic of compulsive shopping.\n\u201cCommon Mistakes Women Make When Shopping\u201d \u2013 Shopping can be fun and enjoyable, but it can also be overwhelming and confusing, even for seasoned shoppers. This article from My Year Without Clothes Shopping highlights the three most common mistakes that women make when they shop. Mistake number two is something that I wrote about very recently, having shopping as one\u2019s only or default hobby.\n\u201cHow to Make Your Closet More Sustainable Without Buying a Thing\u201d \u2013 Many of us care deeply about the environment and want to transport that caring over into our closets. Yet we don\u2019t want to have to buy a whole new wardrobe (which would be pretty counterproductive anyway\u2026). This excellent post from Grechen\u2019s Closet outlines four simple steps that we can all take to cut down on wardrobe waste.\n\u201cIs it Useful? Does it Bring You Joy?\u201d \u2013 Not long ago, I wrote two posts about using Marie Kondo\u2019s method from \u201cThe Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up\u201d to downsize my book and compact disc collections. Although I haven\u2019t applied the KonMari process to my closet (yet\u2026 I still might), that\u2019s actually where Kondo recommends we start our de-cluttering. But is \u201cdoes this spark joy?\u201d the right question for analyzing all of our possessions? Sally from Already Pretty explores that topic and recommends that we add a second question to the equation.\n\u201cHow to Create a Casual Wardrobe Capsule Outfit by Outfit\u201d \u2013 Capsule wardrobes have been a hot topic in recent years, and my favorite stylist Bridgette Raes decided to address this subject in a recent post. I loved this post because it delved into putting together a casual capsule wardrobe \u2013 and it includes lots of photos. The way Bridgette breaks everything down makes perfect sense, as usual. In addition to the ensemble photos she usually posts, she also included a lovely photo of one of her own recent casual outfits.\n\u201c10 Ways Personality is More Important than Body Shape When Choosing Flattering Clothes\u201d \u2013Many magazine and blog articles focus on the importance of dressing for our body shape \u2013 and that\u2019s definitely an important factor to consider. However, personality can often be an even more important facet of how to dress in a flattering manner. Read what Imogen Lamport of Inside Out Style has to say on this topic.\n\u201cWhy I Don\u2019t Believe in Dressing for My Body Type\u201d \u2013 Anuschka Rees not only believes that body type shouldn\u2019t be the most important factor in getting dressed, she doesn\u2019t really think it\u2019s significant at all. Check out what Anuschka has to say about wearing what we like, figure flattery be damned.\n\u201cHelpful Necklace Guide\u201d \u2013 I don\u2019t know about you, but I tend to wear necklaces far more often during the spring and summer months. And I can tend to get confused about the best necklace to wear with any given ensemble. This simple guide from Tall Snob can help steer us all in the right direction. Of course, we can also opt to follow Anuschka\u2019s recommendation above and just wear whatever makes us happy!\n\u201cHow to Stop Checking Your Phone Like an Addict\u201d \u2013 This article starts out with the almost unbelievable story of a woman who walked right off a pier in Australia because she was staring at her smart phone. I\u2019m not to that level yet, but I have become a bit too addicted to checking my phone. This article from Medium highlights some recent research on the negative effects of mobile phones and presents two solutions for having a more balanced relationship with our devices.\n\u201cHow Marie Kondo Changed My De-cluttering\u201d \u2013 My two posts on using the \u201cKonMari Process\u201d to downsize my possessions (see here and here) were very popular with readers. There will be more posts on that topic, but for now I thought you might be interested in reading about how another blogger de-cluttered using Kondo\u2019s tips. This post from The 3rd Chapter covers clothing, shoes, bags, books, and papers and includes lots of photos.\n\u201cHow I Live My Life on Purpose\u201d \u2013 Do you ever feel like your life is just happening to you and you\u2019re not really where you want to be? I definitely feel that way sometimes, so I was very interested to read this article from Yes and Yes. Check out Sarah\u2019s four-step process for making sure she is consciously creating her life instead of just having it happen to her. Not only is this a great article, but I love the opening photo. It\u2019s interesting how I\u2019m noticing photos even more keenly since I started to take some of my own\u2026\nEach month, I share a few early \u201cRecovering Shopaholic\u201d posts (you can see all of them on the Archives page) that I think you might enjoy reading. If you resonate with these posts, I\u2019d love to get your thoughts. I wish I could leave comments open on all posts, but I\u2019ve had to close things out after two weeks because spammers really like to ruin our fun. Please feel free to share any comments you have about the archived posts here.\n\u201cThe Serial Return Phenomenon\u201d \u2013 Do you have a tendency to return a large number of the clothes, shoes, and accessories you buy? At the time when I wrote this post two years ago, I estimated that I returned at least half of my acquisitions, and it wasn\u2019t just because they didn\u2019t fit well or strike my fancy. I frequently made returns so that I could shop more. If you identify with my experience, you may want to check out this early post.\n\u201cChallenge: Shopping with a Friend\u201d \u2013 Shopping is often a social activity that women do with their friends and family members. However, we frequently end up buying things we don\u2019t really want or need when faced with peer pressure and the opinions of others. In this March 2013 entry, I share about a recent shopping trip with a friend and suggest a few ways to mitigate any potential damage of this common activity.\n\u201cThe Ups and Downs of Uniform Dressing\u201d \u2013 Sometimes having a type of formula for getting dressed can help us get out the door more quickly in the mornings and streamline our shopping process. However, there are some downsides to dressing according to a uniform. In this June 2013 post, I outline the pros and cons of uniform dressing and show a celebrity uniform example, as well as three of my own.\nI hope you enjoyed this installment of useful links. Feel free to comment on any of the topics from this post and/or share links to articles that you\u2019ve enjoyed recently.\nI\u2019ll be back soon with my April accountability post and an update on my \u201cLove It, Wear It\u201d Challenge (LIWI \u2013 see previous posts here). If you have questions for me or suggestions for future posts, please share them in the comments section or contact me directly via email or social media. Have a wonderful weekend!\n\u2190 Things to Do Besides Shopping \u2013 Cultivating New Hobbies and Pastimes\nWhat Are Your Wardrobe Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts? \u2192\n20 thoughts on \u201cApril 2015 \u201cGrab Bag\u201d of Useful Links\u201d\nThanks for the links \u2013 these will be fun to browse over our UK bank holiday weekend.\nI\u2019d already read the Bridgette Raes \u2013 and was very pleased to see it, as this is roughly what I\u2019ve been doing over the past year, i.e. building up seasonal capsules outfit by outfit (not in advance, like project 333). Lately I had added a \u2018rule of two\u2019, i.e. that each key item had to work with at least two others. She has put the two together in such a simple and clever way!\nI hope you enjoyed the links this past weekend, Alice. I love your \u201crule of two\u201d and think it\u2019s a good guideline to have in order to avoid closet orphans. I also like the idea of building seasonal capsules as you go. Some people have even done that with Project 333 and it has worked well for them. Less stress overall\u2026 We can learn a lot just by paying attention to what we actually feel \u201ccalled\u201d to wear, like I\u2019m doing with my LIWI Challenge.\nTerra | May 1, 2015 at 10:34 am\nSuperb photo of La Jolla. Looking forward to seeing your work replacing the stock photos. Your photography adds much warm and sincerity that compliments your honesty and candid style of writing. Nice work Debbie.\nThank you, Terra! I would like to replace more of the stock photos with my own images, but I don\u2019t feel excited to photograph clothing , at least not my own. Perhaps I can take some photos at a local store or boutique and see how that works out.\nTerra | May 5, 2015 at 6:28 am\nGood idea to take photos around town at shops, or perhaps an object, along with city or street shots to accompany the story. You have a great eye for composition, structure and arrangement. Also a great way to add diversity, and to claim your place within the S.D. local category. Opportunity to gain wide local appeal, as well as the large national and international readership you have already established.\nVery good points, Terra. I will keep an eye out for places to photograph in my area. It could be fun.\nBella | May 1, 2015 at 6:50 pm\nThank you for another great post of useful links! I need some new blogs to read as I am missing Unfancy \ud83d\ude26 Love your photos! Great hobby and I hope you will continue posting the awesome shots!\nI miss Unfancy, too, Bella. I was surprised she decided to take a hiatus (which could end up being permanent), as I was looking forward to seeing how she would dress for Seattle weather. I\u2019m glad you like my photos and I will definitely share more of them in the future.\nTania | May 1, 2015 at 7:25 pm\nHi Debbie, Your new hobby is inspiring me to also do more photography. The photo of La Jolla beach is wonderful \u2013 especially since it so much reminds me of the Sydney Harbour beaches in late spring-early summer. The scenery is very similar. Please keep the photos coming, especially the cat ones (I adore cats) as well as the San Diego beach scenes \u2013 we are heading into Winter in Sydney and these will remind me that after winter will come spring and summer.\nI\u2019m so happy to inspire, Tania! I hope to be able to see for myself how similar San Diego beaches are to Sydney beaches. I\u2019ve always wanted to visit Australia and hope I\u2019m well enough to do it soon. I will be sure to share more of my photos in the future, including some cat photos. I\u2019m still struggling to take good photos of one of my cats, but the other one is quite photogenic. The have both appeared on the blog in the past, but I\u2019ll have to see what I can do to have them show up again\u2026\nJan | May 1, 2015 at 11:48 pm\nThanks for a the new links. Great photo!\nYou\u2019re welcome, Jan, and glad you like the photo.\nI want to add a few words about two articles which I believe are related \u2014 the ones on shopping addiction and serial returns. While going into debt may be ONE symptom of shopping addiction, many who people over-shop/over-spend do so without going into \u201cdebt.\u201d They can \u201cafford\u201d to over-spend. But can they really?\nMany folks who can \u201cafford\u201d to over-shop may be mortgaging their futures by not fully funding their 401(K) plans or setting up an IRA. Or they may be unable to save money for a down payment on house and end up renting for many years. Or they live with their parents even though they have a good-paying job. Or maybe they can\u2019t afford to buy a car and end up leasing because the monthly fee is less than a car payment (depending, of course, on make and model, etc.). Or people spend money on clothes rather than invest in further education, which might result in a higher paying job or workplace advancement. Or they can\u2019t pay down student debt at a faster rate and may be saddled with student loans for decades. Or they put off car or home repairs, dental work, vacations, charitable donations, and so on.\nSpending money, even money you think you can afford, on excessive shopping rather than investing in your future (education, housing, retirement) can negatively impact your ability to increase your net worth over your lifetime (AKA, wealth building) and can seriously impact the amount of funds available to you when you are 70, 80, or 90. Yes, it seems odd to talk about the angora sweater in your on-line shopping cart or the designer handbag you\u2019re buying at the store as having a negative impact on the quality of life 30-40 years from now, but it can. I know people who spent a lifetime chasing down the perfect designer shoes and so forth and now face a much reduced lifestyle, even after working in a well-paying career. And I know a few people who lost their homes and relationships because of excessive shopping.\nAlso, there is the skewed economics of buying something on sale, 25% off, and then taking a year or more to pay off at 18% interest (or higher). The value of the \u201csale\u201d works best if you pay with cash or pay off the charge immediately.\nOne other point about over-spending on clothes: Think about what impact the money you over-spend (beyond immediate NEEDS, not spending on \u201cwants\u201d) might have on your local community if you \u201cinvested\u201d your money in community organizations. Giving $500 a month (wow!) to a literacy program for youth or the shelter for homeless people or disaster relief could be a game changer for you and the organization. The $500 spent monthly that might have been spent on glittery tees or clothes that will self-destruct in a month or two would add up to $6,000 p.a. For many organizations, a donation of $5,000 or more is a \u201cmajor gift.\u201d And the $6,000 is probably tax-deductible!\nFinally, a lot of people buy stuff they don\u2019t need (for the rush, perhaps) and then return a lot of it \u2014 mostly because they realize they don\u2019t need it. But many also buy and return because they can\u2019t afford what they buy. They are \u201cfaux buying.\u201d I see this a lot as I work in retail. I see the same people over and over buying armfuls of clothes that get returned within a week or two.\nInformation you may not want to know: It\u2019s a tad irksome for the retailer to take back returned items because the returns \u201ccount against\u201d daily, weekly, and monthly sales goals. I know, I know! No shopper thinks about \u2014 or is even aware \u2014 that such goals might exist. But here\u2019s some additional news you can use. All too often, returned clothes have been worn or damaged in some way, so they are taken out of inventory and are a loss, impacting the bottom line. Or the clothes are returned out of season (for stores with a generous return policy) and also are a loss. Then there\u2019s the cost of restocking the returned items, etc.\nSo there is a hidden cost to those returns that we all pay for in the form of higher costs \u2014 or worse \u2014 the same cost but lower quality clothing.\nBUT I urge people all the time to return clothes that fall apart at the seams after one wear or shrink to Barbie size after a careful wash or two. Don\u2019t through these clothes away. Take them back to the retailer (mail them back with a firm note) and ask to speak to a manager. How else is the retailer to know their stuff is shoddy?\nOK, I am stepping down from my soap box. I hope everyone has a lovely day!\nYou made some very good points here, Dottie. The point about the money adding up makes me think of the \u201cStarbuck\u2019s analogy\u201d that is often used by those in financial circles. People who spend 3 or 4 dollars on a latte every day don\u2019t really stop to think about those expenditures and how they can really impact the bott0m line. I think it\u2019s good for all of us to become more conscious of what we\u2019re spending whether or not we are in debt. You\u2019re right that if we choose to spend in one area, we\u2019re often deciding (either consciously or not) NOT to spend in another area. It\u2019s good to think more deeply about these things so we can be sure our spending is in line with our true priorities. I think it\u2019s really all about balance and that will look different depending upon the individual. We all have to decide what that means for us, and it will likely change over the course of our lifetimes.\nIn regards to returns, there are many factors to consider there, too, and you mentioned many of them. But one factor I never used to consider was my time. I spend an inordinate amount of time making returns and I didn\u2019t realize how that was impacting me until last summer when I overbought at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and spend a lot of time and energy on returning things, buying other things, etc. I finally GOT how much time I was wasting and how I could have put the time to better use. Your points are very valid, but I wanted to add this one to the mix, too, because it wasn\u2019t really top of mind when I wrote the original post on serial returns.\nThis is hard to admit, but after reading Dottie\u2019s comments, I feel I must respond \u201cfrom the other side\u201d. I\u2019m aware I\u2019m opening myself up to a lot of negative responses in doing so.\nI have been a serial shopper, much more in the past than now\u2013although truth be told, I go through a bout of serial shopping at the start of spring and fall each year, the reasons for which I will explain further along. But\u2013in the past, I used to serial shop year round as recreation. My reasons now are somewhat different.\nYears ago, I serial shopped then because I was trying to either escape from myself or discover who I was through clothing. In the beginning, I was single, parenting a special ed child and shopping was the only relaxation I could find to take me out of the difficulties of my daily life. Later on, I became involved in a problematic romantic relationship, and I serial shopped as a means of figuring myself out and/or making myself feel better through style.\nI have gotten past all that.\nNow I serial shop twice a year. In fact, this past week is my typical time to serial shop for spring/summer. The seasonal palettes are out at my favorite retailers and I start figuring out what I might want to add to my existing wardrobe. The stores are having sales, and the pieces I want are available in my size.\nAt the same time, I am purging items from the year before because they don\u2019t look or feel good as my tastes evolve, and I want to add some new things. I tend to maintain the same overall number of clothing pieces from one season to the next but there is a turnover. I keep track.\nBecause I take very good care of my clothes, 90% of the turnover goes to consignment. Like Debbie, I have a monthly clothing budget (mine is less than 200./month) and I don\u2019t have a problem sticking to it because I wait to buy until things are on sale. The only time I will purchase at full retail is if it is a special rare opportunity to acquire, but this seldom happens.\nMy reasons for serial shopping now are much different now. I am not trying to escape anymore. Now its totally about the logistics. I work full time in a management position with my company, and three years ago my father passed, leaving me to care for my 85 year old mother who is severely handicapped and requires 24/7 attention. We have aides who work in the home during the day, but a lot of my time outside of my job is devoted to attending to my mother\u2019s needs in the evenings seven days a week.\nShopping is a luxury I sandwich in my busy schedule very strategically. I may only have a 90 minute window during which I can carve out a shopping trip in the course of a day. Most of the retailers I shop at are located 20-30 minutes from my home. Factoring in an hour round trip commute, that gives me about 30 minutes to actually shop. To make the most of my time, I will know in advance what garments I am interested in, but am open to looking at others if I can be efficient about it.\nIf I am searching for an item in a particular color, such as last week I was looking for a coral top\u2013I will purchase several different styles in that color to take home and see how they coordinate with the pieces I already have. Sometimes if a retailer has changed their sizing, (which happened this season at Loft, one of my favorite stores), I purchase in two sizes to determine correct fit. Because I can\u2019t carry my wardrobe with me to coordinate style and color with other pieces, this system works for me, and I am honest with the sales person up front as to what I am doing and that I will be returning some of the items.\nI would like to add that I prefer this system because usually the lighting in the dressing room is so off kilter that I find it impossible to accurately coordinate new clothing with what I already own unless I have the pieces in front of me to compare.\nMy preference is to shop in a brick and mortar setting if possible (where I can experience the clothing) because I find that ordering online, while convenient and tempting\u2013is often disappointing, and results in more returns due to fit or color.\nSo Dottie, you might find me to be an annoying customer were I to shop in your establishment, and I respect that I am probably viewed as a pain. But I am a loyal customer to the stores I shop at. The circumstances of my lifestyle do not allow me to spend leisurely hours strolling through mall stores, experimenting with the perfect garment so I never have to return it. I go in purposefully with a list of options and an open mind about what I might like to add to my wardrobe, purchase and take them home, see how they work and return them within a few days if they don\u2019t.\nSometimes its not about playing games with money. Its about how much time you have allocated to shop for the season and how you strategically plan your free moments.\nDeborah (Debbie): I NEVER said that serial shoppers are \u201cannoying customers\u201d!!! I was trying to make the point (badly, I guess) that there is a hidden cost to serial returns which we all pay for, generally in the form of slightly lower quality of clothes.\nI often ENCOURAGE a lot of customers to buy a few things and then them home to decide on which one they (or their family) likes best. Or which dress goes with a pair of shoes or works as a mother-of-the-groom dress, and so on. I OFTEN tell customers to take clothing home and try it on with the rest of their clothes. And then there\u2019s the folks who are disappointed with their on-line purchase and return it. And there are people who return the \u201calmost perfect\u201d item because they found the perfect item somewhere else. And so on.\nAnd the kind of shopping you describe fits into these categories. I don\u2019t call that serial returning.\nThe serial returning I was referring to what Debbie blogged about (link above) a while back \u2014 buying a lot and returning a lot so you can buy more. Generally, serial shoppers are great customers because they do buy a lot of clothing and they love fashion. It\u2019s so much more fun to help people who love fashion than people (like me) who run in to buy s simple white tee on sale.\nI spend a lot of time (because I like to) helping customers find the right item. Personally, I don\u2019t care if someone returns the item \u2014 it\u2019s just a transaction after all. My relationship with customers is not driven by sales goals or commissions \u2014 I want to help each customer find the right clothing so s/he will look there best. There are a lot of customers who remember how I helped them find the right ________ (fill in the blank). And every return is an opportunity to help someone find the right item!\nAlthough I work in retail, I seldom shop. I too have a very busy life (3 jobs and heavy volunteer commitments). I work from an annual shopping list and budget and maybe go to a store to make a purchase 4-5 times a year, maybe less. I don\u2019t stroll leisurely through the store. I know what I am going to purchase (based on on-line research) and I walk in, go to the appropriate area, make the purchase, and leave.\nHaving taken care of an elderly parent, I understand the many pressures you face. It\u2019s one of toughest jobs in the world \u2014 and one of the most rewarding.\nDeborah (Deby) | May 5, 2015 at 9:36 pm\nI apologize for misunderstanding you! I guess I wasn\u2019t reading as carefully as I should have.\nOne more thing I meant to add, which probably contributed to my perception of your comments, Dottie\u2013is that before now I never truly realized that people buy things for the express purpose of returning them so they can buy more stuff? That is something I\u2019ve never done, and I don\u2019t really understand the motivation to do so.\nIn the past I shopped for amusement and variety, but now I go shopping for the purpose of finding something I like on my list. Yes, I may have to try several different iterations to get it right for me, and I thought THAT\u2019s what was meant by serial shopping\u2013the inability to make up one\u2019s mind about a garment while in the store\u2013and buying multiple versions, then returning all but one.\nJust wanted to clarify that I never actually bought things for the express purpose of returning them to buy more stuff. I\u2019m sure some people do that, though. However, I would sometimes RETURN things that I hadn\u2019t worn yet because I thought I might like new things more than those items. A big part of that motivation was to shop more, but I also thought that I hadn\u2019t made the best decision in buying those things in the first place. I would often get so caught up in the moment when shopping that I didn\u2019t take the time to carefully consider what I was buying. Of course, I still make shopping mistakes and I outline them here, but fortunately my track record has improved considerably. Like you, Deby, I do much less shopping for amusement and variety and mostly only go shopping to find things on my list these days.\nI can\u2019t imagine how you would get criticism for the shopping process you outlined, Deby. It makes perfect sense and seems to be the best possible solution for your life situation. It also sounds very well thought out and analytical. I actually want to move more toward shopping like you do with a seasonal focus instead of continually buying. I have more free time than you do, so I usually spend more time in the stores, but I\u2019m starting to think it\u2019s better to try things on at home, too, because of lighting issues and to have access to the rest of our wardrobes to coordinate with new items. I have been doing more online ordering as of late because I have been looking for specific and somewhat elusive items, but such shopping (for me) inevitably leads to more returns and can be quite frustrating. I think you are wise to select a few retailers that work well for you, do some pre-shopping (browsing) online, and then do exactly what you\u2019ve been doing. The fact that you explain to the salespeople what you\u2019re doing is great and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s also appreciated.\nAs Dottie mentioned, the type of serial returns I frequently did were quite different. I think I had such an emotional need to shop that I would do whatever I could to shop as much as possible, including returning unworn items to buy more. I am fortunately moving away from such needs, but old habits still die hard. I still return more than I want to, but lately it\u2019s been more because I realized that I didn\u2019t really need the item or it didn\u2019t work well with my existing wardrobe. Sometimes it also has to do with not trusting myself enough to make the right decision, too. If I\u2019m at all uncertain about an item now, I try not to buy it. But if I do buy something and later question it, I find it\u2019s better to just return it than end up with a potential \u201cdud.\u201d I\u2019m still learning, as we all are. Some of us learn more quickly than others. It sounds like you\u2019re doing great, Deby. You have made tremendous progress with your wardrobe and shopping since you first started commenting on this blog. I commend you!",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Dorothy Gale Week: Conclusions\nGut Reactions: Condorman (1981)\nWriter: Marc Stirdivant, based on the novel by The Game of X Robert Sheckley\nCast: Michael Crawford, Oliver Reed, Barbara Carrera, James Hampton, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Dana Elcar, Vernon Dobtcheff, Robert Arden\nPlot: Comic book creator Woody Wilkins (Michael Crawford) is about to debut his new superhero: Condorman. Woody insists on authenticity in his character, though, and travels to Paris to test the gadgets he designed for the comic. His friend Harry (Oliver Reed), a CIA file clerk, asks him to carry out a special delivery for which a civilian has been requested. The over-enthusiastic Harry goes too far trying to impress his beautiful contact Natalia (Barbara Carrera), who is actually a KGB operative. Natalia returns to Moscow where her superior and lover Krokov (Oliver Reed) treats her cruelly. She decides to defect, and requests the agent known as \u201cCondorman\u201d be sent to retrieve her. Woody agrees to the mission, provided the CIA fabricate the rest of his comic book designs so he can test them in the field. Woody, Natalia and Harry are soon pursued by Krokov in a race across Europe to bring the beautiful spy to safety.\nThoughts: There is always a danger, when you go back and watch a movie or TV show you loved as a kid, that it simply won\u2019t hold up. We\u2019ve all been disappointed as adults, looking back and realizing things like the old Masters of the Universe TV show really wasn\u2019t very good, or wondering how in the hell we were ever able to sit through Mac and Me more than once. Still, my fianc\u00e9 Erin managed to secure a copy of this movie after she heard me mention how much I loved it back in the 80s, and I recently managed to find the time to watch it again for the first time in at least 20 years.\nCondorman comes from the Disney company during that long stretch in the 70s and 80s when the company simply didn\u2019t know what it was supposed to be anymore. After Walt Disney\u2019s death in 1966, the company coasted on projects he\u2019d already put in the works for a few years, then started to flounder, trying to figure out a direction now that its founder was gone. This film is the perfect example of that. The studio tried to simultaneously capitalize on the popularity of superheroes (thanks to the Christopher Reeve Superman franchise) and James Bond-style spy thrillers, while at the same time creating the sort of family friendly comedy that Disney\u2019s live action properties were expected to be. The result is a film that fails to live up to the standards of any of the three.\nThat\u2019s not to say the film is terrible. I mean\u2026 it kind of is, but at the same time, there\u2019s something about it that still entertains me. Michael Crawford is chewing the scenery so much you expect him to blow a bubble, and James Hampton plays the same sort of big-smiling best buddy he is in most of his work. In fact, if you told me his character in this film retired from the CIA and returned to the states so he could raise his son properly before the family\u2019s werewolf curse made itself known, I wouldn\u2019t think you were that crazy. Just in terms of performance, Barbara Carrera and Oliver Reed are the ones that actually do the most acting. Carrera in particular is fun to watch, putting out a sort of Disney-friendly sensuality that you didn\u2019t get to see often. In essence, she\u2019s a G-rated Bond Girl, which is exactly what the script required her to be. (She would get another chance to be an sort-of Bond girl two years later in the infamous non-canon Sean Connery Bond film Never Say Never Again.)\nThe concept here is actually perfectly sound \u2013 a goofy, good-hearted man leaps at the chance for a little adventure and to test out the toys he\u2019s only, until now, created on paper. It\u2019s the execution that falls flat. The flying scenes are pretty uniformly terrible, with weak bluescreen effects and sometimes even visible cables. The rest of the tech is a bit more acceptable; the \u201cCondormobile\u201d in particular has a cool design and neat gadgets, and I can forgive the 80s-era computer display on the inside. Truth be told, to this day I occasionally fantasize about having a switch in my car that would allow me to blow off the outer shell and reveal a super-sleek high-speed sports car underneath. (These fantasies are usually prompted by sitting in traffic.)\nI don\u2019t want you to misunderstand me, guys. This is not a good movie. In fact, if the guys from RiffTrax could somehow get Disney to allow them to do a Video on Demand riff of this, I think it could be one of their greatest productions ever. But despite its cheese, this is one of those rare films from my past that I can look back on and still kind of love, warts and all. I can\u2019t explain it, and I don\u2019t feel the need to defend it. It\u2019s silly, it\u2019s crazy, it\u2019s goofy\u2026. And that\u2019s why I like it.\nPosted on April 30, 2013, in Action, Comedy, Gut Reactions, Superhero and tagged 1981, Barbara Carrera, Charles Jarrott, Cold War, Dana Elcar, Disney, James Hampton, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Marc Stirdivant, Michael Crawford, Oliver Reed, Robert Arden, Robert Sheckley, spy, Vernon Dobtcheff.

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Sherlock Holmes Week Day 1: Basil Rathbone in The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)\nSherlock Holmes Week Day 3: Robert Stephens in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970) \u2192\nSherlock Holmes Week Day 2: Christopher Lee in Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace (1962)\nWriter: Curt Siodmak, based on characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\nCast: Christopher Lee, Hans S\u00f6hnker, Hans Nielsen, Senta Berger, Ivan Desny, Wolfgang Lukschy, Leon Askin, Edith Schultze-Westrum, Thorley Walters\nPlot: A new case has come to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (Christopher Lee and Thorley Walters, respectively): the return of arch-nemesis Professor Moriarity (Hans S\u00f6hnker). The battle begins when a man turns up murdered on Holmes\u2019s doorstep, causing a clash with Scotland Yard\u2019s Inspector Cooper (Hans Nielsen), who is unconvinced that Moriarity is in fact the criminal genius Holmes claims him to be. If that wasn\u2019t bad enough, Moriarity is scheduled to be knighted. Holmes deduces the dying man was directing them to a local pub, where they overhear Moriarity plotting with a henchman. Watson accidentally alerts Moriarity to their presence, and the two leave quickly. Holmes has heard enough though \u2013 Moriarity has as good as confessed to a pair of murders related to his current scheme, but Holmes still doesn\u2019t know what the Professor is plotting.\nGoing through the newspaper, Holmes believes Moriarity\u2019s next target will involve a necklace of Cleopatra owned by one Peter Blackburn (Wolfgang Lukschy). They arrive at Blackburn\u2019s home to find him murdered, his face destroyed by a shotgun blast and his wedding ring now missing. As they investigate, trying to avoid Inspector Cooper, Holmes finds a patch of freshly turned earth. Cooper suspects Blackburn\u2019s wife Ellen (Senta Berger) and her lover, Paul King (Ivan Desny), a theory he grows more certain of when he finds clothes buried in the fresh Earth. Ellen confesses that, earlier, Peter himself killed a prowler, then switched his clothes with the intruder to fake his own death. She leads him to the real Blackburn, hiding in the cellar, but instead find the man\u2019s corpse, having scratched \u201cM-O-R\u201d into a crate before he died.\nHolmes disguises himself to sneak into Moriarity\u2019s home, finding the necklace amongst a series of deadly traps. Moriarity turns up to visit Cooper just moments after Holmes presents the necklace as evidence. Moriarity, of course, has an alibi, claiming the necklace was stolen years ago and he\u2019s pleased to see it being returned to its rightful owner. Despite this, Holmes is convinced the Professor will make another attempt on the necklace. Moriarity, however, approaches Holmes alone and tries to offer him a partnership, which Holmes turns down flat. Moriarity instead plans to take action as the necklace is auctioned off \u2013 he is summoned as an \u201carcheological expert\u201d to verify the authenticity of the necklace. As he leaves, Holmes informs Moriarity that several of the thieves involved in the cast have been captured\u2026 and he expects the professor will join them soon.\nThoughts: Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace was a German film, but filmed in English. Why the filmmakers felt the need to come in and re-dub the English speaking actors with a separate English audio track is beyond me, but the sort of Godzilla quality it gives to the voices is only the first problem with this bizarre attempt at adapting one of Doyle\u2019s later stories. The writing feels very off here. An early scene in which Holmes and Watson discuss the relative merits of the London Times newspaper feels half like an advertisement for the paper and half like a practice for the sort of bizarre logical leaps that would be a trademark of the Adam West Batman television series a few years later. Holmes, in fact, talks so much about how trustworthy the Times is that I wound up checking on Wikipedia to see if they helped subsidize the production of the film. (As far as I can tell, they didn\u2019t.)\nChristopher Lee is our star, which makes it even more perplexing why they would bother to re-dub the voices in this film. Lee\u2019s voice is absolutely phenomenal, and he seems to be putting in a valiant effort as Holmes. The occasions where he disguises himself are great \u2013 even as we watch him putting on a fake mustache and makeup, it would be very easy to forget we\u2019re looking at Holmes in disguise. If anything, the real tragedy of this film is that Lee could make a fine Holmes (he would play the great Detective two more times, both in the 90s, in films I haven\u2019t seen but now dearly wish to), if only he were given something good to play with. As it is, even the scene where he\u2019s searching Moriarity\u2019s home, rummaging around a mummy and nearly being bitten by a (presumably) deadly snake is head-shakingly boring. And honestly, there are few worse things for a movie to be\u2026 even a bad film can be memorable and fun in certain ways, but if a movie is boring there\u2019s really nothing that can be done for it.\nWhile Lee seems to be trying to play Holmes straight (at least as far as I can tell with the poor voice dubbing), Thorley Walters\u2019s Watson is a different story. The scene where he hangs around in the pub while Holmes investigates is positively disturbing. We see him approached by a barmaid (the film never outright says she\u2019s a prostitute, but it may as well give her a sign) who starts feeding him a sob story about her sick mother. Watson, of course, being a doctor, starts to offer to perform an operation on the woman free of charge. At this point, it\u2019s like watching one of your buddies talking to a girl who you can tell is only interested in him because he\u2019s got an expensive-looking car and she clearly is hoping she\u2019ll shower him with gifts \u2013 you\u2019re stuck burying your head in your face and gritting your teeth because you know warning your buddy won\u2019t do any good. What\u2019s worse, this goes nowhere. It never comes back up, we never see the woman again, we just get a couple of minutes of Watson as an addlepated horndog presumably because the director couldn\u2019t think of any other way to pass the time for the 100 seconds Christopher Lee was off-camera looking for a way to eavesdrop on Moriarity.\nHans S\u00f6hnker as Moriarity seems to be in a similar predicament as Lee. His performance seems perfectly adequate, and he\u2019s certainly got the right look for an aging mastermind of evil. (If Mr. S\u00f6hnker or anyone from his estate happens to be reading this, I mean it as a compliment.) He is betrayed not by the actor, but by a script that has him posture and preen but never actually do much that seems particularly menacing. The end is particularly disappointing. After Holmes turns down Moriarity\u2019s offer of partnership, it\u2019s easy to get excited. \u201cAll right, the die has been cast, the gauntlet has been thrown, time for a face off!\u201d But no, instead we get a civil conversation at the auction during which the two adversaries might as well be winking at each other, each saying, \u201cAh, I\u2019ll get you next time, you old rascal, you.\u201d\nHans Nielsen as Inspector Cooper, again like Lee\u2019s Holmes, isn\u2019t given much to work with here. While there\u2019s nothing technically wrong with the performance, the character itself seems completely absurd in the context of this world. The story is (extremely) loosely based on the final full-length Holmes novel by Doyle, The Valley of Fear, and as such it is main very clear this is not Holmes\u2019s first time working with Scotland Yard. The relationship seems to be solid and based on a lot of backstory and mutual respect. That said, it is patently ridiculous to imagine a police inspector who doesn\u2019t listen to Sherlock Freaking Holmes when he shows up and points out an arch-criminal. Cooper\u2019s skepticism seems completely irrational, like Scully constantly refusing to believe in the supernatural despite nine seasons of X-Files cases that prove it exists.\nAdding to the bizarre choices that make up this movie is a weird jazz score. No doubt we\u2019re listening to the very sort of music that was popular in 1962, but it feels grossly out of place in this period mystery. Instead of creating atmosphere, it wrenches you out of the film and you start looking around for a saxophone quartet. Admittedly, this may just be a pet peeve of mine \u2013 I never really like movies where they use anachronistic music in the soundtrack. To be frank, the only director I\u2019ve ever seen pull off contemporary music in a period piece is Quentin Tarantino, and that\u2019s mainly because his films go so far into the realm of the absurd that it doesn\u2019t really seem that out of place after all.\nI wish there were more to recommend this movie, but there simply isn\u2019t. It\u2019s a weak, weak attempt at telling a Holmes story. The story is weak, the villain is weak, the mystery is practically nonexistent. (Instead of being the deductive genius we know he is it basically boils down to \u201cI know Moriarity is behind this because he\u2019s Moriarity and currently alive, so who else could it be?\u201d) The best thing about any of this is that there\u2019s so much Holmes out there it will be easy to find something better and cleanse my mental palette.\nPosted on May 28, 2013, in 4-Icons, Mystery and tagged 1962, Arthur Conan Doyle, Christopher Lee, Curt Siodmak, Edith Schultze-Westrum, Hans Nielsen, Hans S\u00f6hnker, Ivan Desny, Leon Askin, Senta Berger, Sherlock Holmes, Terence Fisher, Thorley Walters, Wolfgang Lukschy.

        "raw_content": "> Sticking with your passion and taking your chances\nRory O'Donoghue / 17.07.2018\nSticking with your passion and taking your chances\nI graduated from Bath Spa University with a Business Management and Marketing degree and was ready to take on the industry.\nI however quickly discovered that I was unable to walk straight into my dream career and struggled to find opportunities for me to apply my talents. Not wanting to leave the city that I had made my home or quality of life that is rare to find in London I made a choice to pick up any work I could.\nI was able to start working at a local pub with a great bunch of people. I really enjoyed the work, the team and the patrons but also knew that pulling pints wasn\u2019t my end goal or what I had spent the last three years studying for. I made the decision to keep on in the world of Marketing and enrolled myself with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) which offers training and qualifications in marketing related topics. The plan was that the CIM would provide me with a more in-depth knowledge of marketing and keep my knowledge up to date.\nI always heard that business was done in the pub so I would keep my ears and eyes open for any opportunities that may come through the door. It was by doing this that I met some of the Relish team and asked about the opportunity of doing some work experience with them.\nI sat down with Relish Directors Natalie and Jonny and I was lucky enough to be offered an internship working 1 day a week. As soon as they began speaking about the business, I knew I wanted to work with them. I felt confident that if I was provided with a chance, I had the right work ethic to impress.\nAlthough there was a lot to learn I knew after day 2 that Relish was the agency for me. The drive and passion of each employee mirrored that of my own and after years of education, this is where I wanted to apply my skills.\nI treated each day as a job interview and looked to exceed expectations with every task I was given. And it paid off! After 7 days I was offered a role as a Campaign Strategist with Relish.\nWith my CIM qualification not finishing for another 3 months I knew the work load would be high, however this was the opportunity I had been working and waiting for. All I was thinking was that I cannot wait to get started.\nI know I can contribute to this special team and with time, repay the confidence that they have shown in me.",

        "raw_content": "To say that Elon Musk is a genius most likely qualifies as an understatement. Not only is he a world-renowned technologist, but he\u2019s founded SpaceX, OpenAI, Tesla, SolarCity and X.com (which eventually became Paypal). So, when Musk dedicates his notable brainpower to warning us that an A.I.apocalypse could become reality within the next 5-10 years, it\u2019s hard not to listen. You might even look at Siri a little differently. After all, what does she do when you\u2019re not talking to her?\nHowever, Battlestar Galactica fans can exhale as Musk\u2019s prediction doesn\u2019t mean that we\u2019ll see Cylon War during a Clinton or Trump presidency. Specifically, the potential end-of-days event described by Musk is the singularity, the theoretical moment during which artificial intelligence becomes both self-aware and possessed of a super intelligence exceeding that of its human creators.\nOnce on the other side of the singularity, the super intelligent A.I. has potential to be humanity\u2019s undoing. Musk states that \u201cwith artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon,\u201d and in the wrong hands the technology could become a tool of \u201cevil dictators.\u201d And even with the best intentions, A.I. companies may be overconfident in their capacity to \u201cshape and control the digital superintelligences,\u201d and may fail to \u201cprevent bad ones from escaping into the internet.\u201d\nMusk\u2019s solution to the dangers that come with centralized control of a powerful A.I. is to democratize the technology, and to thereby decentralize control. However, his approach to democratization isn\u2019t necessarily one that the founding fathers would have imagined. It\u2019s more Hera Agathon than electoral college. Musk\u2019s answer is to make every human a little more artificially intelligent by removing the \u201cbandwidth constraints\u201d to the cerebral cortex via neural lace. The digital layer of the neural lace would merge with human neurons to create a digital extension of the thinking mind, allowing A.I.-human symbiotes\u2019 thoughts to exist both in their mind and in the cloud.\nAnd nothing could go wrong with a world of brainiac A.I.-human hybrids, right? Let\u2019s hope not. But if so, please feel free to utilize your neural link to upload your thoughts to the cloud, or you can just contact us.",

        "raw_content": "Mutable terrorism : Gerhard Richter, Hans-Peter Feldmann, and the cultural memory of Germany\u2019s Red Army Faction\nWILLIAMSON-DISSERTATION.pdf (20.53Mb)\nWilliamson, Jason Kirk\nThis project explores the intersection of postwar German history, visual art, and left-wing terrorism. More than thirty years have now passed since the German Red Army Faction\u2019s (1970-1998) most spectacular violent campaign\u2014the so-called \u201cGerman Autumn\u201d of 1977\u2014and yet the organization continues to elicit a variety of cultural responses from many artists. Interestingly, many films, texts, and visual artworks featuring the Red Army Faction (RAF) as their subject focus heavily on the group\u2019s charismatic founders and on the German state\u2019s vigorous efforts to suppress them and their successors, and yet these works pay comparatively scant attention to the individuals whom the RAF murdered. In light of this observation, I argue that the German Left\u2019s cultural memory of the RAF was and still is marked not only by a significant ambivalence concerning the RAF (especially the founders) and the German state, but also the victims. As a means of elucidating this ambivalence, I offer close \u201creadings\u201d of two works of visual art that debuted at different moments in the years following the German Autumn. Gerhard Richter\u2019s October 18, 1977 (1988) is a photorealist series that invites viewers to consider the lives and especially the deaths of the RAF\u2019s principal members, while Hans-Peter Feldmann\u2019s photo compilation The Dead 1967-1993 (1998) presents a sobering chronology of individuals killed either directly or indirectly as a result of the German leftist counterculture, including terrorist violence, without making an immediate distinction between perpetrators and victims. Within the framework of the larger RAF cultural memory, the works of Richter and Feldmann thus help clarify some of the causes and effects of the German Left\u2019s suspended resolution regarding RAF terrorism.\nVictim portrayal",

        "raw_content": "The exploitability of pegmatite deposits in the lower Orange River area (Vioolsdrif - Henkries - Steinkopf)\nMinnaar, Hendrik\nThis study aims to investigate the exploitability of the pegmatite deposits in the lower Orange River area, situated between the settlements of Vioolsdrif, Henkries and Steinkopf in the Northern Province, in the light of current methods of financial analysis. A summary of the prevailing ore deposit model and a description of the geology are presented, and a financial analysis is undertaken taking into account the resources, current market conditions, and the legal requirements associated with a mining venture on the pegmatite bodies. The most acceptable ore deposit model for the formation of pegmatites currently presents the pegmatite body as the final stage of crystallization of a cooling magma (Cerny, 1998a). Recent studies suggest that the crystallization of the pegmatite occur at an unexpectedly fast rate by the working of undercooling, in which the rate of cooling exceeds the rate of crystallization (London, 2005). The pegmatites of the study area are mostly developed in granites of the Vioolsdrif Suite, in a post-orogenic tectonic setting and in many respects, fit well into the model of Ginsburg et al. (1979). Although resources are difficult to estimate, it can be said that individual pegmatite bodies in the study area host reserves of up to 50 Mt of pegmatite ore. The markets for feldspar, currently the primary commodity in pegmatites, show an increase in price and a positive outlook for the future. Legal requirements (licensing) are rigorous, under the new Act even more so than under the old, especially with regard to environmental issues. A financial analysis suggests that, although mining operations on pegmatite bodies are highly sensitive to changes in commodity prices, revenue and fuel-related expenses, they are feasible under the current market conditions. Zebrakop pegmatite is identified in this study as a potential target for the exploitation of a homogeneous pegmatite, coupled with the necessary development of bulk mining methods and a beneficiation plant.\nTheses and Dissertations (Geology) 134",

        "raw_content": "Computation by Prophecy\nWe describe a new method to represent (partial) recursive functions in type theory. For every recursive definition, we define a co-inductive type of prophecies that characterises the traces of the computation of the function. The structure of a prophecy is a possibly infinite tree, which is coerced by linearisation to a type of partial results defined by applying the delay monad to the co-domain of the function. Using induction on a weight relation defined on the prophecies, we can reason about them and prove that the formal type-theoretic version of the recursive function, resulting from the present method, satisfies the recursive equations of the original function. The advantages of this technique over the method previously developed by the authors via a special-purpose accessibility (domain) predicate are: there is no need of extra logical arguments in the definition of the recursive function; the function can be applied to any element in its domain, regardless of termination properties; we obtain a type of partial recursive functions between any two given types; and composition of recursive functions can be easily defined.\n70--83-",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Out of State Issues / NDR Matches Cause Major Headaches for Mass. Drivers\nI just received an e-mail from a Massachusetts Resident who has never set foot in sunny California. Nevertheless, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has caused his driver\u2019s license to be revoked here in Massachusetts. This happened through the National Driver Register, which is a nationwide computer system which state motor vehicle departments use to communicate with each other.\nHis license status in Massachusetts is listed as Revoked \u2013 NDR Violation \u2013 W00, California and the alleged violation date is listed as 1996. The victim of this revocation has a common name and I fully suspect that someone in California with the same name and date of birth has their license revoked in that state. So the revocation is technically valid. However, it should not be applied to the Massachusetts driver. The issue here is that social security numbers are not always listed in the revocation records or compared when applying the Indefinite NDR revocations to Massachusetts drivers.\nA similar situation as described here was reported by the WBZ I-Team. I have handled a number of these cases at the Registry of Motor Vehicles in Massachusetts and I have found the Hearing Officers to be sympathetic to those who have the misfortune of sharing a name and birthday with an out of state scofflaw. The Registry Hearing officers will try to obtain as much information as possible from the state where the revocation has originated and, in some cases, they are able to make a determination that the Massachusetts customer is not the same person as the out of state customer.\nUnfortunately, the Registry can\u2019t work on the \u201chonor system\u201d and it must have some proof that the Mass. license holder is not the same individual whose right to operate has been suspended by the other state. Understandably, the Registry cannot override the NDR revocation based solely on the driver\u2019s word. Therefore, if you have been the unlucky recipient of one of these letters, you should get as much information as possible from the state where the suspension has originated prior to seeing a Registry Hearing Officer.",

        "title": "Prediction: Hard Bound Books will be Finished by 2016 - Robert Tercek",
        "raw_content": "The big debate this weekend in my home had nothing to do with movies or directors even though it\u2019s Oscar season. Instead, we speculated about the future of the book.Specifically, i bet my dinner companions an unreasonable amount on the following proposition: within five years, publishers would be unable to afford to print hard bound editions of most new books. And so, they would choose not to publish them at all in the traditional form. Hundreds of years of print history will come to an end.\nMy dinner companions objected strenuously, deriding my proposition as unfounded, but I stand by it. Here\u2019s why:\nFirst of all, it\u2019s no secret that the print business is in terrible shape overall. increasing costs, margin pressure, and a lousy economy have all conspired to weaken the print publishers.\nSecond, nowadays, readers have abundant options to substitute for books: free magazines and newspapers, web sites, mobile applications. We are awash in print media. And we\u2019re constantly bathed in electronic media presented on innumerable glowing screens that surround us in homes, offices, airports, airplanes, cars, taxis, buses, elevators, stadiums, subways, shopping malls, and so on. We have too many other options.\nThird, the base of consumers who actually purchase books must be shrinking. I don\u2019t have the data to back this assertion up, but it seems evident that fewer people purchase hardback books now that they have so many other media options.\nFourth, and most important, the publishing model is changing fast. The introduction of the Kindle, the iPad and dozens of other newfangled e-book readers will transform the market for book publishing in a very short time. If just one third of readers switch from purchasing hard bound books to purchasing digital editions, it could undermine the publishing model entirely because the costs of setting, printing, binding and shipping hard bound editions will still be necessary, but they will be amortized across far fewer books. The business model won\u2019t hold up. Publishers will cease to create hardbound books, except in special editions (akin to DVD box sets and commemorative edition CD collections).\nAs a book lover, this is a dismal scenario. But I believe it is inevitable, and coming much sooner than we expect.\nThink back to 2002. If someone told you then that 2/3s of music shops would be closed within five years, you would have laughed with derision. If someone predicted that 80% of a label\u2019s income would be from non-CD digital downloads by the end of the decade, you would have howled. But now, it has come to pass. And the music industry has been transformed forever.\nWe\u2019re about to go through that cycle again, but this time it will be the book publishers going through the meatgrinder. Who knows what will emerge on the other side?\nCheck out this piece in the New York Times that breaks out the financials for book publishing and contrasts them with eBook pubishing.\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/01/business/media/01ebooks.html?em\nThis entry was posted on Monday, March 8th, 2010 at 2:02 am\tand is filed under General Observations.\nVivien Santana Hughes\nRobert: Stay in touch with those dinner companions \u2014 I have a feeling they\u2019ll be paying up in six years! Your prediction makes sense and the comparison to the recent music industry shake-up makes it real.\nAnother thought \u2014 what will happen to linear storytelling? A printed book takes you through the story in the sequence the author intended. A digital book/vook can offer various storytelling paths and media to enhance the experience. It\u2019s the architecture of website content vs. a printed magazine. No matter what the medium, it\u2019s all about great content. But I will miss hardcover books. Regards, Vivien\nTerry Glover\nIt\u2019s true that we don\u2019t know what book publishing will look like on the other side, but it\u2019s amazing that the lessons of the music industry\u2014the canary in the mine\u2014have not been scrutinized enough to produce a 2.0 model that will make the print transition less cataclysmic.\nRobert, I think your examples show why you are wrong. The CD industry is not dead. Heck, people are still pressing vinyl LPs. Sure, there will be a shift to digital content, as with every other kind of information, but people will still want to buy books for at least another 60 years if for no other reason than familiarity.\nYou also overlook the fact that (except for a few audiophiles who insist otherwise), there is zero benefit to the old physical media distributions of music and video compared to the current digital versions. This is not true of books. All music and video formats required expensive players, so shifting from turntables to CD players, for example, was not a big deal. Books (unlike e-books) do not require ancillary technology. Books, while not searchable, are more easily skimmed and flipped through than e-books on a Kindle or iPad. Books can be read on a plane. Books don\u2019t have to worry about battery life. Books survive water and crushing and being dropped off of tall buildings. I want my first aid and disaster survival handbooks on paper, not on my iPad. I\u2019m not taking my Kindle sailing with me.\nI think, too, you overestimate the cost to the publisher of converting a digital book to a printed copy. Current print-on-demand technology makes it little more difficult than printing out the PDF of the content on a laser printer. There\u2019s no magic collapse if print runs get cut in half or even 2/3s, just perhaps a small loss of quality and differentiation (though not as much difference as switching to digital in the first place).\n1. Books are going to be around a lot longer than that, perhaps forever.\n2. Dinner plates were invented before books but there are many place in the world today where people eat on banana leaf. In fact it is not fashionable in Singapore or Malaysia if some of your dishes are not served on Banana leaf held inside a plate to hold food! So much for dinner plates replacing banana leaf!\n3. Books like Bible and Koran will be printed and sold and bought and read for millions of years unless the concept of religion dies first. Cost has nothing to do with their printing, selling, buying or reading.\n4. Any bold claim that any technology will kill any other should be made with great care. For example: Planes have not killed trains yet. Even long distance ones.\nAnd in cities like Sydney, CBD roads are being constrained for cars to allow bicycles, with the result that often a long caravan of cars has to travel at 5 KMPH in peak hours \u2013 at the speed of the bicyclist in the front, leading and occupying main lanes of the CBD where there are no lanes, and sometimes ever where there are lanes (because it is not illegal for a bike to be on any lane). So much for cars killing bicycles.\n5. Internet, working from home and broadband has yet not killed office in cities (they may more likely die though due to rising rents and real estate prices).\n6. There are more things killed by the economy and economics than technology will ever kill. But nothing will kill a printing press.",

They recently had a big discussion about the value of coaching. Not professional sports coaching, but career coaching.\nMost of the guys responded in a predictable fashion: they were snide and dismissive about the concept of life coaching.

        "raw_content": "RT.com / RT projects / Russiapedia / Prominent Russians / Literature / Afanasy Fet\nProminent Russians: Afanasy Fet\nImage from www.arts.in.ua\nAfanasy Afanasyevich Fet is regarded as the greatest lyric poet of Russia. A genius lyricist, he wrote poetry throughout his life. His verses were highly esteemed by the well-known literary critic Belinsky, who ranked him on par with the \u201cRussian Byron,\u201d Mikhail Lermontov. Fet\u2019s lyrical poetry is extremely sensual and melancholic, imbued with tints of sadness and tragedy. Tolstoy would give his unpublished works to Fet for his opinion and approval. Mandelstam considered him to be the greatest Russian poet of all time. Fet believed in \u201cart for art\u2019s sake\u201d and felt that poetry should reflect only itself. Because of this he avoided any references to the outside world in his poetry, most of which was regarded as \u201cnature poetry\u201d and wrote mainly of the landscape of his day to day life. The author contemplated the beauty of the world from two sides - the outer one, inspired by the charms of nature; and the inner one with love as its major incentive.\nAfanasy was the child of a German woman named Charlotta who was initially married to Johann Foeth. She remarried a rich Russian landlord named Shenshin in 1822, after Afanasy's birth in 1820. As a result, Fet was never legally his biological father's son and heir, and couldn't claim the rights of\nnobility. It is unclear if Afanasy was the son of Foeth or Shenshin, but the Holy Consistory in Orel decided that he would go by his German father's name because the\nImage from www.vpiter.com\nmarriage between his mother and his Russian father was not legitimized soon enough. The stigma of illegitimacy haunted him throughout his life and after years of litigation, he obtained the right to use the prestigious name Shenshin. Fet spent most of his life trying to succeed in his ambition to become a member of the nobility and this was his only reason for joining the military. When he eventually received his commission, the law that would have allowed him to become a member was changed, so that he had to reach the rank of major. He finally succeeded in obtaining the title at the age of 54. Fet was regarded by many as a rather ridiculous figure and years later he would make a point of walking around Moscow in the middle of a hot oppressive summer in the full dress uniform of a court chamberlain just so that people might realize that he was a member of the nobility.\nAs a young man, Fet attended Moscow University from 1838-1844, studying philology. While there, he began to dabble in poetry, publishing his debut collection, \u201cThe Lyrical Pantheon,\u201d in which he developed a unique style of poetry dealing with the twin subjects of love and nature. At the time, \u201cThe Lyrical Pantheon\u201d was not well received (the preferred style of poetry being social criticism). His next poems, published in \u201cNotes of the Fatherland and Muscovite\u201d received an equally lukewarm reception.\nAfanasy Fet enlisted in the military in 1845. While in the military, he continued to publish his poetry. When he was transferred to the Russian Imperial Guards in 1853 and stationed in St. Petersburg, he gained a golden opportunity to work with other great authors of the age, such as Ivan Turgenev (who wrote the introduction to his third collection). At this time, Fet began to use the theme of the death wish in his poetry, particularly in the poem \u201cTo Death\u201d in 1856, which caused a stir at the time of its publication. In 1850, a young woman named Maria Lazich, who was in love with Fet, but who could not marry him because of financial reasons, perished after accidentally setting herself on fire. This event and the image of Maria would be frequently evoked by Fet even in his later verses. \u201cIn a wooded and neglected region, the midnight snowstorm swirled a branch sizzling on the fire. We sat together\u2026\u201d\nImage from www.album.foto.ru\nIn 1857, Fet married the sister of the prominent critic Botkin, and by 1860, the Fets had retired to a country estate to live a life of semi-retirement. They settled at the Stepanovka Manor in Fet\u2019s home district of Mtsensk. Fet visited his illustrious neighbor Tolstoy as often as possible. Among Tolstoy's friends, he was the only professional man of letters. Fet continued to write poems glorifying death. The same year he married he wrote \u201cUpon a Haystack on a Southern Night.\u201d It is said that this was Leo Tolstoy's favorite poem. In 1859 Fet wrote an essay entitled \u201cTyutchev in Russian Word\u201d that spelled out his philosophy on art. \u201cThe artist's duty is only to serve the muse and the notion of beauty.\u201d Ideology and social issues were of no concern to him. Finally in 1873 Tsar Alexander II rectified the situation of Fet's nobility and he was given the rights and privileges of a hereditary nobleman.\nIn his waning years, his works received the acclaim that they had been previously denied. The Russian Symbolists (notably Annensky, Bely and Ivanov) had discovered Fet and were greatly inspired by him. When Fet first\npublished his poetry in 1842, he was too timid to trust his own artistic taste. He therefore submitted his verse to be examined by Ivan Turgenev. This tradition continued for many years, until Fet understood that Turgenev had expurgated from his verse the most personal and original elements of his artistic vision.\nIn 1881, he translated the works of Schopenhauer into Russian. In his old age, when his suffering became unbearable, Fet attempted to follow Schopenhauer's advice and commit suicide, but was stymied by his family. He died from a heart attack during another suicide attempt in the early winter of 1892.\nLittle of his work is available in English. A slim volume from which the following extracts are taken was published by Angel Book in the UK in 1982 with the title \u201cI Have Come To You To Greet You.\u201d A very fine volume of criticism \u201cThe Imagination of Spring: the Poetry of Afanasy Fet\u201d was published in 1966 by Yale University Press. It contains literal word for word translations of his poetry but is still well worth reading.\n\"I Always Like the Northern Birches\"\nI always s like the northern birches:\nTheir view, so downcast and grave,\nThe fever, which poor souls scorches,\nCools like the mute speech of a grave.\nBut yet, the willow, which branches,\nWith their long leaves, cast in a flood,\nIs closer to a dream, that scourges,\nAnd longer lives in our heart.\nDeploring groves their own,\nTheir meadows \u2013 with bitter tears,\nTell birches to cold wind alone\nTheir common sufferings and fears.\nBelieving that the whole ground\nIs motherland of sacred grieves,\nThe weeping willow all around\nInclines its branches with long leaves.\n\"I Have Come to You, Delighted\"\nI have come to you, delighted,\nTo tell you that sun has risen,\nThat its light has warmly started\nTo fulfill on leaves its dancing;\nTo tell you that wood\u2019s awaken\nIn its every branch and leafage,\nAnd with every bird is shaken,\nThirsty of the springy image;\nTo tell you that I\u2019ve come now,\nAs before, with former passion,\nThat my soul again is bound\nTo serve you and your elation;\nThat the charming breath of gladness\nCame to me from all-all places,\nI don\u2019t know what I\u2019ll sing, else,\nBut my song\u2019s coming to readiness.\n\u201cThe September Rose\u201d\nTwo sighs of morning air, that froze,-\n(With her lips opened for a say),\nHow curiously has smiled the rose\nOn a September fleeting day!\nAnd how has she ever dared\nTo greet, with air of springy queens,\nThe single blue-tit, in the bare\nShrubs fleshing in the orb of wings;\nTo bloom with steadfast dream that later,\nJust leaving her cold bed in rest,\nShe\u2019ll cling, the last and dissipated,\nTo a young hostess\u2019s charming breast!\n(Translated by Yevgeny Bonver)\nTatyana Ustinova One of the best selling modern Russian detective stories writers. Some of her stories have been turned into movies. Samuil Marshak Marshak was a successful poet, translator, political satirist, state propagandist, magazine editor and author of children's books. Vladimir 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.

        "raw_content": "Characterization of Chemical Probes for Therapeutic Intervention of Innate Immune Signaling\nChristina Elizabeth Boville, University of Colorado at BoulderFollow\nCorella Detweiler\nJohannes Rudolph\nDylan Taatjes\nThe innate immune system protects us from incessant attacks by microorganisms. However, immunity is a double-edged sword, and inflammation must be carefully regulated. Chemical biology offers a means to maintain healthy homeostasis by influencing the immune response. We have used small molecule and peptide chemistries to exploit Toll-like receptor, caspase, and antimicrobial peptide signaling for therapeutic purposes. These compounds may find applications treating sepsis and autoimmune disease, and can influence the design of next-generation antibiotics and vaccines.\nToll-like receptors are pattern recognition receptors that sense bacteria and viruses, and then induce inflammation to stave off infection. We have designed saccharin-derived small molecules capable of reducing inflammation by inhibiting JAK/STAT1 signaling. We have also explored Toll-like receptor specificity by designing TLR8-specific imidazole-derivatives that are promising immune-responsive vaccine adjuvants.\nCaspases are proteases that control inflammation and cell death. Much is still unknown about the role of caspases as innate immune receptors, particularly lipopolysaccharide-sensing caspase-4. We have performed two small molecule screens to identify caspase-4 inhibitors for use as both therapeutics and signaling probes. From this, we have discovered a new role for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as multi-caspase inhibitors, which may shape patient applications of these essential drugs. We have also identified novel caspase-4 specific small molecules for sepsis treatment.\nAntimicrobial peptides are small, amphipathic peptides able to both disrupt bacterial membranes and influence inflammation. We have designed a series of peptidomimetics able to mimic the properties of host-defense peptides. These peptidomimetics are active against a wide array of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, and reduce the inflammatory response. In an era of prevalent antibiotic resistance, peptidomimetics offer a path for the design of new antibiotics.\nAuthor also known as Christina (Smith) Boville.\nBoville, Christina Elizabeth, \"Characterization of Chemical Probes for Therapeutic Intervention of Innate Immune Signaling\" (2017).

Though various shifts occur in Dryden*s conception of stylistic majesty over a thirty-year period, it is possible to identify a set of aspects which are most central to his conception and then examine the poem for its inclusion or exclusion of these central aspects. As might be expected, Religio Laici is only unevenly and partially majestic by the lights of this procedure, and this shortcoming may be traced to the inherent difficulties of attempting to join elements of the high and low styles.\nJoynton, Olin. \"Stylistic majesty in Dryden's Religio Laici.\" (1979) Master\u2019s Thesis, Rice University. http://hdl.handle.net/1911/104322.",

According to Van Wagenen (13), distributive occupations are those followed by workers directly engaged in merchandising activities or in contacting buyers and sellers to further (a) the distribution of products of farm and industries to consumers, retailers, jobbers, wholesalers, and others; (b) the sale of services; and (c) the management, operation, and conduct of retail, wholesale, and service businesses. The writer will attempt to determine whether such a program is feasible in Lewistown, Montana. The problem to be investigated is two-fold: 1. To determine if the retail merchants of Lewistown, Montana, are interested in, need, and could support a program of distributive education. 2. To determine if there is a need for a program of distributive education as indicated by the former graduates of Fergus County High School in the years of 1969, 1967, and 1965.",

        "raw_content": "Archive for Home Tips\n\u00b7 Tuesday, May 13th, 2014\nSanta Clarita Home Improvements that Pay Back When Selling\nNew homeowners are often unsure about what type of home improvements to make that will actually pay back when eventually selling their home. For example, if it costs $20,000 for a new built in heated swimming pool, will home value increase by at least the same amount? Probably not, but the basic rule of thumb is, if making home improvements that will pay back when selling a home, keep those improvements simple, neutral, and don\u2019t over spend. Don\u2019t pay for a high end home improvement that would be perfect for a home in Beverly Hills, if you live in a standard 3 bedroom 2 bath home in Canyon Country. The more customized the improvements are, the less chance you will have of recouping the cost when selling. It doesn\u2019t matter if your home is in Santa Clarita or San Fernando Valley, when selling a home you want to attract as many prospective buyers as possible. When it comes to colors and finishes, we all have different tastes. What looks good to me might look terrible to you! That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important, even if a bit boring, to stay neutral with colors and materials. The bottom line is, don\u2019t make any improvements that are likely to scare off potential home buyers when it comes time to sell your Santa Clarita home.\nIf the homeowner is not concerned with doing improvements that pay back when selling, none of the rules apply. We are all free to make whatever customizations we like. Just don\u2019t expect the cost for those improvements to increase the value of your home by the same margin. I remember, for years we lived in Canyon Country of Santa Clarita and often gazed across the street at a neighbor\u2019s house. From the outside, it looked similar to all the other basic and average homes in the neighborhood. One day we were invited inside and we were shocked to see it was almost all solid stone! Unfortunately, it was overkill for the home type and location.\nWe hope you enjoyed this post, Santa Clarita Home Improvements that Pay Back When Selling.\nPlease come back again for a visit!",

        "raw_content": "Title: Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants (SUDI) and parental infant care: perspectives of general practitioners, nurses and parents living and working in the multicultural community of Western Sydney\nAuthors: Wilson, Leigh Ann\nKeywords: Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants\nsudden infant deaths\ncot deaths\nFaculty of Medicine. School of Public Health.\nAbstract: For many years the major cause of infant mortality in NSW has been the result of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Statistics show the area defined as 'Western Sydney' is no exception, and in 2002, a report prepared by the Epidemiology, Indicators, Evaluation and Research Unit (EIRE) in Western Sydney presented data indicating SIDS rates in the area were higher than the state average. In particular, two Local Government Areas (LGAs) had clusters of SIDS deaths. Previous Australian research identified a higher risk of SIDS and other causes of infant mortality in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations. The areas of Western Sydney where SIDS rates were higher than expected were home to Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Pacific Island residents. The number of SIDS deaths in Aboriginal infants did not explain the higher than expected rate of SIDS in the areas under investigation. Studies undertaken in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands have identified higher than expected risk of SIDS in Maori and Pacific Island communities in those countries, although this has never been studied in Pacific Island residents living in Australia. The reasons for these communities exhibiting a higher than normal SIDS rate is not completely understood, but can be partially explained by behavioural practices which are known to impact adversely on the risk of SIDS. This study sought to investigate the level of knowledge concerning the prevention of sudden and unexpected death in infants (SUDI) in three key groups of infant caregivers: general practitioners, nurses and parents living or working in the area geographically defined by Sydney West Area Health Service (WSAHS). In addition, the study sought to identify any variation in knowledge of SIDS reduction strategies in the three groups under study, and to investigate factors influencing knowledge and practice in these participants. The study findings were then used as a basis on which to develop strategies and recommendations to enhance the delivery of safe sleeping messages through the health care system. Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, this cross-sectional study highlights a number of issues around infant care practices and the major influences on new parents living in a multicultural community. Results of the study showed there is a large variation in knowledge around safe sleeping practices (including SIDS reduction strategies) in all the groups studied. Although educational campaigns are conducted regularly, many general practitioners and parents are confused about the key SIDS reduction messages and still place infants in sleeping positions considered unsafe. While nurses and midwives were aware of the SIDS reduction strategies, they still occasionally used infant sleeping positions considered unsafe. General practitioners born overseas in a country where English is not the first language were less likely to be familiar with safe sleeping messages, including SIDS reduction strategies. Families from a Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) background were less likely to have seen SIDS information in their own language than families who spoke English, and as a result were more likely to use traditional methods of infant care, including co-sleeping with siblings and parents and side or tummy sleeping. CALD parents were more likely to rely on herbal remedies and friends and family for assistance, than English speaking parents who accessed health professionals as the first point of call when infants were unwell. The study identified a relatively recent practice, which until reported in this study, has not been documented in the literature. The practice of draping infant prams with blankets originated from the Cancer Council of Australia guidelines which recommend covering a pram with a light muslin wrap to protect infants\u2019 skin from the sun. It appears parents have misinterpreted this message and are covering infant prams with blankets to encourage sleep, even when sun exposure is not an issue. Research suggests that poor air quality around the head of an infant may affect an infant\u2019s arousal response. While no research has been conducted on the air quality around an infants head when covered by a heavy blanket in a pram, it is possible based on research into air quality around infants, that that this practice may increase the risk of sudden and unexpected death in an infant. In conclusion, this study found that multiple changes to the SIDS reduction messages since the initial \u2018Reduce the Risks\u2019 Campaign have led to confusion about ways of preventing SIDS in GPs, nurses and parents in Western Sydney. The study makes seven recommendations aimed at improving knowledge of safe sleeping practices in these groups, and optimizing health outcomes for infants using a collaborative approach to service delivery and future initiatives.\nDescription: Doctor of Public Health\nL-Wilson-2008-Thesis.pdf 3.55 MB Adobe PDF View/Open",

For confident readers to read alone or for families to share, here is a book that:\n-celebrates the experience of children in church\n-tackles childhood and church issues\n-candidly observes adult behaviour\n-recognises the importance of biscuits.\nPlease take a look at this lego animation of the flood scene from this book:\n\"I found the cover and the title of this book really appealing - just like the biscuits, it is hard to resist. The story is about a shy young girl called Nancy who goes to a church which has a few other children. A new family joins and Nancy becomes friends with their daughter. However, things are a bit frosty between the two mums and they need a little help from their daughters to get along. The book is an ideal length and the realistic story enables you to understand how Nancy feels about her difficulties. The book says it is for 6-9 year olds, but I am almost 11 and I still enjoyed it!\"\nMegan, Families First Magazine, September 2008.",

Among the main obstacles that students experience are the extra daily costs. They seem to appear out of nowhere when setting one step inside a new cosy student room.\nWhy moving out is expensive\nWhereas Wifi was a free and unlimited commodity at home, students have to start thinking about the cheapest way to communicate with their friends 24/7. Having to do groceries their selves, many freshmen also suddenly realize how expensive basic needs such as food are. Furthermore, not all the different events organized for students are completely free. And they would never have expected that they would be making time to compare energy companies to save on service fees. But the cost that causes the most frustration among students are often the waste collection charges. At least the internet and food can be directly enjoyed, but this tax just feels like throwing away money. In short, leaving parents to move into a student house often costs more than students realize beforehand.\nReducing costs of the student life\nLuckily, there are many ways to reduce costs when moving into a student room. Hereby some practical tips to make the student life more affordable.\nEating together with friends or housemates. Preparing a meal for more people will reduce the costs per person. That nice pasta pesto is more enjoyable anyway when sharing it with good friends.\nProposing to use \u2018Wie betaalt wat\u2019 with housemates. In student houses, there are always people who are better at stocking the kitchen and cleaning supplies than others. With the handy \u2018Wie betaalt wat\u2019-app, it is easy to keep track of the expenses made for shared products such as toilet paper. At the end of the month, housemates can make sure that those who made expenses are paid back by the others.\nTrying to reduce monthly costs. For example, making sure to buy the cheapest health insurance by checking websites that help with comparing the different options. It is also worthwhile to compare energy providers to reduce costs.\nMaking smart use of study books. Not all listed books are intensively used in a course. When a book is only needed for two tasks, costs can be saved by borrowing the book from the library instead of buying it. Many students also try to save costs by selling the books that they do not need anymore.\nRiding a bicycle. Bikes are much cheaper than public transportation, and give you a free workout! On top of that, it is a very environmentally friendly type of transportation.\nStudents who still want to go to the gym can get a sports membership from the university. They are subsidised and much cheaper than regular gyms.",

        "raw_content": "leader of a country or part of a country, usually in republics\nA president is the leader of a country or a company or other group. A president is usually elected by the people in that group. Voting is one way to elect a president.\nElecting a PresidentEdit\nThe President of the United States is elected by the electoral college. Some other countries choose a president this way. In some, the Parliament does it. Some countries have direct elections to choose a president. Many countries have a monarch instead of a president and some have neither.\nCompanies have presidents. They are elected by the people who own part of the company. In some companies, the people who are workers for the company elect (vote for) their company president.\nPower of a PresidentEdit\nThe president of a country is not the same thing as a prime minister. A prime minister is part of a parliament, but a president is not. In some countries, (such as the United States or France), the president has more power and responsibility than anyone else. Such a president is often called the nation's chief executive. As chief executive, the president must take an active role in all phases of government. In other countries (such as the Republic of Ireland or Israel), to be president is more of an honor or a symbol, and the position has no real power. This kind of president is often called \"head of state\".\nMost countries that have a King or Queen as their monarch have no president.\nThe American President is restricted by the written United States Constitution, which can be changed but only if two-thirds of Congress as well as the President and three-fourths of the states agree to it. The American constitution was created to make sure that the American executive never became as powerful as the British system it had broken away from. The British Prime Minister is part of both the Legislature and Executive, whereas the American President is the head of the Executive. The American governmental system shows a clear separation of powers unlike the British system.\nAll the president's ministerial appointments have to be vetted by Congress (Parliament) and Congress may have an opposition majority.\nThe president does not have the ability to introduce and influence legislation in the same way as the British prime minister.\nCongress has much greater control over the budget and foreign policy than the British Parliament.\nThere are broad areas of American life, such as education, crime and punishment, over which the president has virtually no influence at all.\nThe president even has very limited control over the economy.\nSo despite having a large nuclear arsenal, the American president can not carry out policy and introduce legislation as freely as the British prime minister.\nRetrieved from \"https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=President&oldid=6220897\"",

        "raw_content": "Is There Now An Opportunity In Red Hat Inc (RHT)?\nKayla Ward December 1, 2017\nToday we\u2019re going to take a look at the well-established Red Hat Inc (NYSE:RHT). The company\u2019s stock saw a decent share price growth in the teens level on the NYSE over the last few months. With many analysts covering the large-cap stock, we may expect any price-sensitive announcements have already been factored into the stock\u2019s share price. However, what if the stock is still a bargain? Let\u2019s examine RHT\u2019s valuation and outlook in more detail to determine if there\u2019s still a bargain opportunity. View our latest analysis for Red Hat\nWhat is RHT worth?\nAccording to my valuation model, the stock is currently overvalued by about 63%, trading at $124.49 compared to my intrinsic value of $76.27. Not the best news for investors looking to buy! But, is there another opportunity to buy low in the future? Since RHT\u2019s share price is quite volatile, this could mean it can sink lower (or rise even further) in the future, giving us another chance to invest. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for how much RHT moves relative to the rest of the market.\nCan we expect growth from RHT?\nNYSE:RHT Future Profit Dec 1st 17\nInvestors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Although value investors would argue that it\u2019s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. With profit expected to grow by 37.28% over the next couple of years, the future seems bright for RHT. It looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.\nAre you a shareholder? RHT\u2019s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading above its fair value. At this current price, shareholders may be asking a different question \u2013 should I sell? If you believe RHT should trade below its current price, selling high and buying it back up again when its price falls towards its real value can be profitable. But before you make this decision, take a look at whether its fundamentals have changed.\nAre you a potential investor? If you\u2019ve been keeping an eye on RHT for a while, now may not be the best time to enter into the stock. The price has surpassed its true value, which means there\u2019s no upside from mispricing. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for RHT, which means it\u2019s worth diving deeper into other factors in order to take advantage of the next price drop.\nPrice is just the tip of the iceberg. Dig deeper into what truly matters \u2013 the fundamentals \u2013 before you make a decision on Red Hat. You can find everything you need to know about RHT in the latest infographic research report.

Keke Palmer is all grown up and we have to add gorgeous and sexy to her new look. Covering the latest release of Rolling Out, the singer/actress delights in several hot shots as she sheds her little girl image. In her sit down, she opens up about growing up, not having to prove herself, her role in the upcoming TLC biopic, and more.\n\u201cWhen people think of me initially, they remember me as \u2018Akeelah [and the Bee].\u2019 Sometimes it can be frustrating to be remembered at an age that you\u2019ve outgrown. But at the same time, it\u2019s never frustrated me to the point that I\u2019ve wanted to lash out. I just take it one step at a time. I\u2019ve been patient in letting people adapt to me and my growth.\nOn Not trying to prove that she's an adult\nIf anything, it makes you look even more like a kid! As an adult, you don\u2019t have to go around saying, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m an adult!\u2019 That would be like saying, \u2018Guess what \u2014 I\u2019m black!\u2019 You know it already. I just [try to] constantly be a professional by asking for what I need in the right way. I feel like you have to tell people who you are, but you don\u2019t have to be disrespectful about it. But you also don\u2019t have to be a shrinking violet. For a long time, when I was younger, I would always act like a little kid and I would just [bow] down because I would never want to feel like I\u2019m being disrespectful to someone. But at the same time, I was like, \u2018I\u2019m 18-years-old and I\u2019m not a kid anymore.\u2019 I don\u2019t have to wait for people to do things for me. I started saying, \u2018No, that\u2019s not OK. This is what I want. This is what I need from you. Please and thank you.\u2019 At the end of the day, you\u2019re going to have to speak up for yourself \u2014 and I learned that after always being, for lack of a better word, crapped on.\n[But] I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a lesson that comes from the industry, I think that\u2019s a lesson that comes from life. I think no matter what you do as a young kid \u2014 you can [even] take it from your family. You may go off to college, you\u2019re becoming independent and you go back home and your parents treat you like a kid again. To a certain extent, everybody has their place in their family, but you have to say, \u2018Mom and Dad, I actually have things to do.\u2019 And I think that\u2019s a lesson that happens to everyone and everyone has to learn that place in their life.\u201d\nOn playing Chilli in 'CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story'\n\u201cIt was a dream come true. I never would\u2019ve imagined that I would be doing something like that. Being a kid growing up and loving TLC and then doing the movie and playing my favorite member? It was overwhelming.\u201d\nOn having a support system\n\u201cWhen I\u2019m doing my job and I feel like things are good, I\u2019ll look to my mom and I\u2019ll say \u2018How was that to you?\u2019 and she\u2019ll say, \u2018Great!\u2019 . And I\u2019ll feel so much better.\u201d\n\u201cI didn\u2019t come from a lot. I had a lot of love and support from my family, but as far as money and that type of thing, I didn\u2019t really have any of that. All I did was follow my dreams. If my fans take anything from me, I hope it would be that. It\u2019s not just me being so special \u2014 they are too. They just haven\u2019t realized it yet.\u201d\nPalmer's new film, 'CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story', airs on Monday, October 21 at 9PM ET/PT on VH1.\nCovering the latest release of Rolling Out, the singer/actress delights in several hot shots as she sheds her little girl image\nKeke Palmer Teases Upcoming Film \u2018Pimp,\u2019 Also Starring DMX (Video)\nKeke Palmer Declares Independence With \u201cBossy\u201d Single",

In the case of Mac desktops, it seems that no news is sometimes just\u2026no news. On the other hand, if you judged it only by the criterion of media attention, this past week may have been the biggest for Mac desktops in several months.\nThere are plenty of questions about where the future of Apple\u2019s desktop line lies after the last year, which for the first time in recent memory featured no updates to the company\u2019s longest running product line.\nAs we approach the Mac\u2019s third-of-a-century mark, the world looks a lot different from the way it did when Steve Jobs introduced the computer. But that doesn\u2019t mean that the death of the Mac\u2014or, at least, the imminent death of the Mac\u2014is a foregone conclusion.

Within each of these areas, there is a wide diversity of practice, partly due to the fact that IP law reaches deeply into a variety of industry sectors. In fact, specific IP law expertise is sometimes known by reference to a specific industry sector or focus: for example, COMPUTER SOFTWARE for those handling issues related to the computer industry, BIOTECHNOLOGY for those focused on bioscience legal issues, and CYBERLAW for the Internet and communications sectors. An IP attorney may also choose to have a particular type of legal practice: a transactional practice (such as licensing), a litigation practice (such as infringement and breach of contract cases), an administrative practice (trademark or patent prosecution), or a regulatory practice (before agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration or the Federal Trade Commission).\nThe core body of law constituting intellectual property law is a set of statutes and case law that protects inventions and various forms of artistic and scientific expression. Ideas and expressions subject to IP protection range from composers\u2019 and inventors\u2019 rights to their personal creations to a corporation\u2019s rights in its trademarks, logos and even the distinctive color or design of its products.\nAccording to practitioners, both a foundation in IP law and a basic grounding in business law are critical to an IP practice. This is especially true for lawyers counseling new and emerging companies. Entrepreneurs and new ventures typically want protection for their technical innovations as well as advice and counsel regarding the IP rights of other parties in the market.",

Those we visit in their own homes feel part of the larger family of believers, as we share together in a simple act of worship around the Lords table, partaking of the bread and wine brought from one of the services held in church. We also visit the elderly care homes in our town, where a small group gather together for a short service. At Pengover house we sing hymns and enjoy a time of fellowship following the service.\nWhen you next receive communion, please remember those who cannot be there, but who join with you month by month as they share bread and wine.\nIf, for some reason, you find you are temporarily housebound (e.g. a broken leg or post surgery) and would like to receive communion at home please contact the church office.",

        "raw_content": "In the disaster restoration business, we see this all the time: A homeowner with a damaged home is upset with their insurance company because their policy doesn\u2019t cover something that they think should be covered. \u201cWhy do I pay premiums every month if I can\u2019t use my insurance when I need it?\u201d they often say. Nine times out of ten, they\u2019re referring to a roof problem, old damage resulting from neglect, or mechanical system breakdown.\nWhile we agree that insurance should be there for you when you need it, there is a difference between what insurance policies are supposed to cover, and what is simply a maintenance issue that would be covered by something like a home warranty, or else paid for out of pocket by the homeowner who has saved money in preparation for what they should know is the cost of home maintenance.\nMost insurance policies specify that in order to be a covered claim, the damage must be the result of a \u201csudden and catastrophic\u201d incident. Asking your insurance company to replace your twenty-year-old roof because it is leaking is not \u201csudden and catastrophic;\u201d it\u2019s the inevitable result of what happens when your roof gets old and needs to be replaced.\nFor instance: If your washing machine malfunctions and overflows during the rinse cycle, that is sudden and catastrophic. The resulting damage likely will be covered by your policy under normal circumstances. However, the repairs to your washing machine (or replacement of it) will not be covered by your insurance. Why? Well, for the same reason a transmission repair isn\u2019t covered by your auto insurance; it\u2019s a maintenance cost resulting from the fact that if something gets old enough, it breaks down.\nThe good news is that there are warranties to cover those things that homeowner\u2019s insurance doesn\u2019t cover. Good roofers offer warranties. Home warranty companies offer warranties on a home\u2019s mechanical systems and appliances, over and above the existing warranties offered by the manufacturers.\nThe purpose of insurance is to cover us for damage that is so costly we could not afford to pay for it out of pocket without it ruining us financially. It\u2019s simply to protect our financial security in the event of a disaster \u2013 not as a convenience to save us from having to dip into our vacation funds. That\u2019s why deductibles exist. They give us a relatively small financial stake in the claim in order to discourage frivolous claims being filed.\nHere\u2019s another example: You have a leak in your shower pan or tub area, and later discover water damage to your floors in the surrounding area. The adjuster notices that the edges around your shower pan or tub area are missing grout or caulking, which is intended to seal the water in and prevent leaks. Your claim is denied\nI have seen a few homeowners get very upset about the previous scenario. They argue that they didn\u2019t know there was a leak until they saw the floors buckling or the carpet wet in an adjacent room. What they seem unable to comprehend (or admit) is that they had a responsibility to replace the missing grout or caulk around the shower/tub area in order to prevent a leak. The problem was a direct result of negligence on their part, which resulted in a slow buildup of water under the walls and floors, not a \u201csudden and catastrophic\u201d flood.\nWe each have the responsibility to keep our homes reasonably well-maintained in order to prevent damage. That means that if there are tree limbs brushing against the roof, we have them cut back; If our rain gutters are clogged, we clean them out; If we notice a slow leak in an appliance, we disconnect it or discontinue its use until it is repaired so that it will not cause serious damage.\nSo save that insurance claim for something serious. Maintain your home and pay close attention to anything unusual happening in your house in order to prevent serious damage. And finally, get a warranty to cover your roof and mechanical systems, or start a savings account specifically for home maintenance.",

        "title": "Building Blocks For Wireless Sensor Networks - SourceTech411",
        "raw_content": "Building Blocks For Wireless Sensor Networks\nThe essential building blocks for wireless sensor networks can be segmented into hardware, middleware, software, communications protocol, and user interface.\nThis is a simplified representation of a wireless sensor network (WSN), but serves as the basic configuration. Please see additional articles on this site for more details of implementing WSN for personal use, industrial automation, building automation and various configurations (e.g, mesh network, star network, etc.).\nIn the hardware category are the nodes. Each wireless sensor network has tens, hundreds or possibly thousands of nodes. An individual node is made up of the following elements:\ndata collection / storage\nThe sensor is specific to whatever parameter is to be measured or monitored. This can be anything such as temperature, humidity, pH, water level, smoke, vibration, sunlight, radiation, sound, proximity, movement, magnetism, flow or pressure. A sensor in most cases is an analog device which either has an embedded analog to digital converter (ADC) circuitry or attaches to an external ADC.\nThe controller part of the node contains the intelligence for the system. This will determine how frequently to take a measurement, whether the measurement is valid, how many measurements to store and when to transmit the data from the node. Depending on the complexity of the node, there may also be two way communications from a central site to the node, rather than one way communications of the node sending out its readings. The controller is also responsible for monitoring the power reserves of the system and the overall health of the node.\nData collection and storage is the process of translating the output of the sensor into a digital format which can be communicated to the network. This may also include some level of encryption to help maintain security of the data. Data storage can be as simple as a loading a transmission buffer in the communications device to temporary accumulation of a number of measurements in a short term memory element, to a permanent data log of all measurements.\nThe communication system has an antenna, a transmitter and in some cases a receiver for two way communications. Communications in a wireless sensor network balance the requirements for power conservation, distance and security. The majority of communications use standard protocols such as ZigBee or HART, but can also use a proprietary standard for greater security, integrity or power usage.\nThe most common method to implement the communications portion of the wireless sensor node is to purchase one from a third party developer that has already tested, optimized and cost reduced this function to a module with a standardized interface. This greatly simplifies a developers task by reducing this portion to a selection matrix of systems requirements \u2013 such as protocol (e.g., ZigBee, IEEE 802.xx), communications frequency (e.g., 900MHz, 2.4 GHz), distance and special features for power management or network configuration.\nOne company which provides very easy to use communications modules to integrate into a sensor node is Digi International . One small, low cost module that operates in the 900 MHz band can communicate at up to 28 miles under unobstructed line-of-site (LOS) conditions. This is the Digi \u201d Xbee-PRO 900HP \u201d solution. For initial proof of concept and development, they also feature complete kits to help designers get a complete product working and to market or deployment as quickly as possible.\nCritical to the sensor node is the power system. In many cases this is simple a battery or other energy storage cell. In others, it can also include a more complex energy harvesting system which allows the node to extract energy from its surrounding environment. Energy harvesting is most commonly achieved through converting light (e.g., solar) or electricity, but can also make use of audio energy, RF energy or vibration.\nThe firmware, middleware and software are responsible for all communications from the sensor node to the central site. A wireless sensor network may have a large number of intermediate communications elements, called routers and gateways, which \u201chop\u201d the data from point to point until it eventually reaches the central site. Each gate communicates with a subset of nodes that are in its communication range, creating a sub-network within the entire network. Similarly, a router communicates with a number of gateways.\nIn addition to providing a communications pathway from the sensor node to the central site, the gateways and routers can also be responsible to providing security and reliability to the overall network. Security is accomplished by implementing additional levels of data encryption to protect the underlying sensor measurements, as well as requiring authorizations for anyone attempting to access the network itself. Reliability is achieved through creating a redundancy in the network where if one (or more) gateways or routers stops operating, it\u2019s possible for another in the network to take over its function and continue to communicate with the sensor nodes.\nDepending on the complexity and application of the wireless sensor network, either a portion or the entire communications infrastructure can be supported by an external provider. Etherios , a division of Digi International, has a cloud based model to allow connections of any enabled device anywhere in real time.\nThe user interface may be the most critical portion of the wireless sensor network. This is typically a software application which displays the data from the sensor node. It can be as simple as a spreadsheet of data, to a app running on mobile device, to a dashboard on a computer to massive control panel at an industrial complex. The complexity of the user interface is typically directly related to the importance of the element being monitored \u2013 algae growth in the South Pacific Ocean is different from radiation levels in a nuclear reactor.\nThe building blocks for wireless sensor networks can be summarized as hardware, middleware, software, communications protocol, and user interface \u2013 however the realization of the actual network contains many more elements within each of these categories.\nTo learn more about this fascinating topic we recommend these books available through Amazon:\n(Photo Credit \u2013 SxC)\nDigiEtheriosSensorWSN",

        "raw_content": "Some rain chances, but Tropical Storm Danielle remains well south\nGood morning. Houston remains at the southern edge of a high pressure system, which should build over the metro region during the next couple of days. We\u2019ll see some rain chances before that happens.\nI suspect rain chances later this afternoon will be similar to those on Sunday. While much of the area saw little or no rain, pockets of the city saw 0.5 to 1.0 inch of rain Sunday during primarily afternoon thunderstorms. Highs will likely climb into the low 90s.\nThis high pressure over the southeastern United States has kept a tropical system away from the Texas coast, and that\u2019s probably a good thing. Tropical Storm Danielle formed in the southern Bay of Campeche this morning, but proximity to land is likely to prevent it from strengthening too much. Had it been allowed to move north toward the Texas coast, it would have had more time for development over open water. In any case, the system is going to be a rainmaker for Mexico, and is also notable as the earliest fourth tropical storm on record, beating Debby 2012 (June 23) and Dennis 2005 (July 5). It\u2019s still not clear to me that this augurs a particularly bad overall hurricane season, because all the systems we\u2019ve seen form have been fairly weak tropical storms.\nTropical Storm Danielle formed this morning. (NOAA)\nWe may see similar rain coverage on Tuesday\u2014or we may not. It\u2019s not easy to determine whether high pressure is going to take over by later on Tuesday. So it\u2019s probably best to just forecast a chance of showers and thunderstorms, with again some locally heavy rainfall. But we must just as easily be hot and sunny in the low-90s. We\u2019ll see.\nWith high pressure overhead I don\u2019t expect much rain activity, and temperatures should climb into the low-to-mid 90s under partly to mostly sunny skies. It shouldn\u2019t be quite as hot as last week, however.\nFRIDAY and NEXT WEEKEND\nIt looks like high pressure will back off a bit by Friday or so of next week, which should allow for at least some slight afternoon rain chances due to the sea breeze. With highs in the low 90s, or so, it\u2019s going to be very much like a pattern one would expect in late June.\nPosted by Eric Berger at 7am CT on Monday\nA summer-like forecast for summertime in Houston\n3 thoughts on \u201cSome rain chances, but Tropical Storm Danielle remains well south\u201d\nWhy do I get the impression that the powers that be are over eager to classify a system as a tropical system these days?\nRed Alert, Eric!\nECMWF aims a tropical system at Houston/Galveston on June 30, 2016!\nPaul, do not pay attention to individual model runs. The GFS has been suggesting a system may develop in the Gulf at the end of this month, but the Euro has mostly not been on board with this. I would not have too much (any) concern at this point about it.",

        "raw_content": "Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion \u2013 disc removal and spinal fusion for stability\nA Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion, or PLIF, is a procedure that is utilized to remove a portion of a disc that may be pressing on a nerve and causing pain as well as to provide stability to the spine through spinal fusion. The PLIF procedure is achieved through an incision in the back and two bone grafts are placed for stability. In a similar form of spinal fusion, Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion or TLIF, the incision is made along the side of the spine and a single bone graft is placed.\nPosterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Procedure Specifics\nTo begin the posterior lumbar interbody fusion procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the middle of the low back. Through this incision the muscles are moved aside to expose the lamina portion of the vertebrae. The surgeon will then use cutting instruments to remove portions of the lamina, portions of facet joints, and the spinous process from the back of the vertebrae.\nThis removal of bone enables the surgeon to view the affected disc and compressed spinal nerves, allowing him clear access to the herniated or bulging disc. Using a grasping instrument, the surgeon will remove most of the affected intervertebral disc on order to relieve the pressure on the compressed spinal nerve that was causing pain. Removing the disc also allows the spinal nerve to return to its proper position.\nFollowing the removal of the disc, two bone grafts will be placed between the vertebrae to provide increased spinal stability.\nThe completion of the posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery involves the incision being closed and dressed. Following the procedure, patients will typically remain in hospital for two to four days. Patients will be asked to abstain from strenuous activity for six to twelve weeks.",

        "raw_content": "\u2b05 Remote Work: What To Weigh Before Going...\nThe World Through the Eyes of an... \u27a1\nAnd why wouldn\u2019t it be? Ditching paper wasn\u2019t ever going to be the whole solution. If your document management system (DMS) was disorganized in the file cabinet days, you don\u2019t solve the problem by going digital; you merely import it. You might even be multiplying it. It is easy to store a document electronically\u2014it\u2019s a nightmare to retrieve it when you don\u2019t even know where to look.\nDocument management isn\u2019t a contest between paper and pixels. We need to reconsider our whole mentality toward documentation. (4:11) Most of us take it seriously as a means to ensure compliance, but a document management solution translates to customer service: the faster you can retrieve a document, the less you keep a client waiting. Storing is just the tip of the documentation iceberg: retrieval is everything underneath it. If it\u2019s taking your account manager ten or twenty times as long to retrieve a document as it is to store it, that\u2019s a nasty timesuck on the entire organization.\nWhere are agencies going wrong? Most of them have some sort of electronic document solution in place\u2014they\u2019re just using it badly. A common error is to think of a DMS solution as a box you need to check only once: \u201cWe\u2019ve acquired the DMS we need, now we\u2019re good to go.\u201d Something as complex as keeping thousands of different documents organized cannot possibly be that simple.\n(9:50) Many agencies default to whatever DMS capability came with their agency management system (AMS). The problem is that the built-in DMS of many agency management systems is rudimentary, falling short of today\u2019s demands. Luckily, enterprising developers have stepped in to supply the market with standalone, specialized DMS solutions that provide features your typical AMS doesn\u2019t. We review some of your DMS options beginning at 11:04 of this episode.\nA quick example of what we\u2019re talking about is optical character recognition (OCR)\u2014the ability to scan every document you store in order to let you search for documents by the words they contain. Many AMS\u2019s don\u2019t provide this, but no respectable DMS is without it. Furthermore, DMS\u2019s set themselves apart for how they structure and differentiate what is stored. Consider all the documents your employees have to sift through: audits, endorsements, declinations, claims, etc. These must regularly be subfoldered per client, adding to the web of complexity. When employees get overwhelmed by this, they seek safety in the clandestine folders of their own creation\u2014but this defeats the whole point of retrieving from a centralized source. You must find a DMS that can govern the storage and distribution of documents in a way your employees understand and appreciate. You can make their jobs a lot easier by finding a DMS that does tagging.\nFor all of their day-to-day ubiquity, folders suffer from a one-to-one limitation: one folder to a document, thank you very much. But anyone who\u2019s had to work with documents knows they rarely fall under a single category so cleanly. An endorsement could have financial implications that concern other parts of the agency, meaning it should be available to, and searchable by, various employees. You could solve for this by cloning copies of the document in different folders, but you\u2019d be replicating work and taking up more space than you need to. Tagging allows you to tag the document with as many keywords as needed to make it accessible to everybody with an interest in it.\nBut a document management system is only as good as your agency\u2019s commitment to leveraging it the right way (19:21). You can tag the hell out of any document and still make it useless by using tags nobody understands. Normalizing naming conventions is a critical part of any DMS implementation, requiring the input of several voices inside the organization. But you should be used to these conversations by now, for they are a key precursor to operational excellence. We\u2019ve talked before about how most of your agency\u2019s decisions are reversible\u2014but some aren\u2019t. Choosing a DMS isn\u2019t exactly irreversible, but the amount of work and content you end up putting into the system makes it a laborious thing to undo later. Also, DMS\u2019s tend to be expensive. Look at your options carefully, and poll as many voices inside your company as you can to make sure you pick something that has lasting operational value.\nAre you using a document management system at all right now? Are you using it as effectively as you think you should? Or is it really more of an electronic place to put stuff?\nYour employees shouldn\u2019t shudder any time it\u2019s their turn to retrieve a document. That\u2019s a sign that you need to step back, reevaluate how you\u2019ve implemented the technology, and decide whether it\u2019s time to look for another product.",

Some comment will be made in my direction asking, \u201cHow do you do it?\u201d\nIt is no secret I have four children, currently four years and younger. It is well known I\u2019m a stay at home mother struggling to build a community of people in place of my family who is a mere six to seven hours away by vehicle. I say I\u2019m struggling to build my community, but that\u2019s sort of a lie. I\u2019ve made many friends. I\u2019ve made friends who are more than willing to help with anything I ask of them. I can count a multitude of blessings in this particular area, but sometimes it feels like a struggle. It tends to feel this way because for one, building this community is taking a long time (it\u2019s like first your \u201cdate\u201d a friend, then you have to \u201ccouples date\u201d to make sure your spouses are in too. and then the hardest part\u2026 \u201cfamily dates\u201d sometimes the kids just don\u2019t mesh) and for the second reason family is just ultimately irreplaceable, no matter who jumps in your life, no one knows you as well as your families.\nSo back to this weird \u201ccompliment. When someone asks \u201cHow do you do it?\u201d I have to chuckle and respond with, \u201cI don\u2019t.\u201d Typically, they feel annoyed, but I honestly don\u2019t do any of it alone. I may look like I\u2019m by myself, but if you\u2019ve been following the blog awhile, you\u2019ll understand me when I say this: He is helping me \u201cdo it.\u201d God is the only reason I get through any of my days with even a glimpse of success. I owe everything to the Almighty. \u201cOh\u201d you say, \u201cOf course you do\u201d (with a slow roll of your eyes) \u201cso what you\u2019re really saying is, you just sit back and relax and God does this or that and your day is perfect. Awesome! I\u2019m so glad I asked you, and NO, there\u2019s no hint of sarcasm in this response.\u201d Blah! It all sounds too perfect and too unreal to believe. Right?\nLet me break it down for you. I have days when I ignore God in many or all ways. Those days are the days I complain the most and get nothing accomplished all while feeling crummy to the nth degree. So stop ignoring God and you\u2019re days will be brighter even when they\u2019re set up to be ridiculously difficult. Why do you think you have to do it alone? Who told you, you\u2019re in control of your day?\nHow to literally stop ignoring God:\nTip #1 Pray. I mean like more than once, and probably more than just your meal prayers you typically say out of habit.\nTip #2 Gratitude. Thank the Lord for anything going well in your life. Just yesterday I glared at my son and gave thanks for giving me the self control to use his hitting his sister as a teachable moment instead of screaming at him and placing him in time out as I do 85% of the time (I\u2019m a work in progress, remember). Good heavens, if you have to, say thanks for putting on your bra that day or brushing your teeth before noon.\nTip#3 Trust. This sometimes just looks like \u201cKeeping My Cool\u201d. When life is going haywire, I have to slow it down and Trust that God is going to see me through it.\nTip #4 Sing. It is another form of prayer. When I\u2019m singing about the good things, or the songs that make me think of fond memories and such, I\u2019m singing His praises. Always remember God is the reason for your happiness.\nThere is more to this story, so Read On here.\nPrevious articlePrayer and FaithWho is Really in Control Here?\nNext articleIt's A LifestyleWhen Opposites Attract: 10 Questions to Ask Your Spouse\nOne thought on \u201cHow DO you Do it???\u201d\nPingback: Who is Really in Control Here?",

        "raw_content": "Business Fire Safety, Services\nFire Risk Assessments are designed to aid risk reduction and fire prevention. Their aim identify risks and hazards within commercial buildings, reduce or eliminate risks as appropriate, provide general fire precautions and also to establish and create emergency plans.\nHere are the 5 steps to perform a fire risk assessment as directed by the Health and Safety Executive. This will help the individual to stay safe from the hazardous effects of the fire.\nThis first step involves identifying anything within the property that could be a potential fire hazard. Fires start when heat comes into contact with fuel and oxygen, so this means thoroughly considering how a fire could start within the environment and what could subsequently burn.\nFor example, if the fire erupted from electrical equipment such as heaters and computers then they could be a source of ignition and any textiles or paper surrounding them could significantly intensify a fire.\nEveryone within the property at the time of a fire is at risk. However, it is important to consider whether the risk for some is greater. This could be because they work with particularly hazardous material or equipment, work in secluded areas, work at night or are unfamiliar with the property. Furthermore, children, elderly and the disabled are particularly vulnerable in the event of a fire.\nIt is vital to consider who may be at risk within the premises and then make a note of what can be done accordingly. Elders and children are at most risk as they find it difficult to make it through.\nEvaluate, Remove or Reduce The Risk\nAfter performing step one and two, it is important to evaluate the results, analyzing the hazards present within the environment and the people who are at risk. After that individuals should think about how best to completely remove or significantly reduce the fire risks that have been found.\nThis includes implementing safety precautions, such as removing piles of waste, conducting PAT testing and arranging for a fire alarm system and fire extinguisher installation.\nRecord, Plan, and Train\nIf the businesses have more than 5 employees or have a license, fire risk assessment must be kept as a written record, detailing all fire hazards and the measures that have been taken to reduce them.\nFollowing this, individuals should make clear, complete plans of what would happen in the event of a fire including planning escape routes and make sure everyone is informed of these processes and adequately trained.\nFinally, after completing all the fire assessment, the individual should regularly and periodically update the records if necessary. Additionally, if they identify any significant changes than the individuals should reassess risk assessment and fire evacuation and re-training staff where necessary.\nFire protection is a not a joke and every individual should treat it responsibly. Over time, risks may change and this makes it incredibly important for everyone to notice any changes and update the fire safety plans accordingly.\nfire protectionFire Risk Assessment",

An important aspect and thread that runs through all of them, however, is management culture. How successful a human resources department is is often a reflection of the management culture towards employees. In this overview all of these things will be discussed.\nMicrosoft uses a number of different methods to hire employees from both outside and inside the company. Advertisements are placed on websites and local media and some are displayed through a company intranet. One of the best things about their policy is that they try to hire from within the company. That means that employees are familiar with the operations and the culture. However, generally speaking, if a company becomes too reliant on this method of hiring they will find that they rarely have new blood or ideas. It is important not to over-prioritize internal hiring as it can lead to redundant thinking and tiredness.\nMicrosoft\u2019s training program is substantial. One of the best things about it is the 60-day buddy period which allows new employees to be supervised and gently acculturated to the company. However, 60 days is a long time to have a buddy and surely that \u201cbuddy\u2019s\u201d productivity will be reduced if he spends all his time with the new employee. If too many employees are hired at once, too many buddies will be spending all their time training. It\u2019s important to keep this in mind.\nA thread that runs through all these aspects of Microsoft\u2019s human resource management is a culture of respect for the employees. Management is a complex art. It involves a lot of angles relating to competition, performance and commitment. It also has a lot to do with competition. Microsoft is hardly the only software company in town and they must constantly be monitoring their competition to see how they are performing.

These judgments are based more upon what we understand about that type of person from what we\u2019ve been taught or by comparing them with other elements of our experience. Many of these understandings are shaped by the media outlets we pay attention to. I never believed I was a very judgmental person and didn\u2019t really feel I acted on stereotypes until I had an experience that opened my eyes. At the time, I was working in an auto parts store and was the only person manning the store when a new customer walked in. It was a woman and, although I didn\u2019t really stop to think about my reaction to her, I realize that it was based mostly on what I understood of this kind of woman on how her type was portrayed in the movies.\nThere were few facts involved in my decisions regarding the girl. The woman was blonde, skinny, young and dressed fashionably well. Her big, blue eyes seemed overwhelmed at the materials in the automotive shop and she wandered around the aisles as if lost. Without even thinking about it, I made an instant assessment of her based upon her looks that qualifies as stereotyping. Her appearance was really the only fact I had to go on before making my assessment, but this was enough to me to feel as if I had correctly identified her personality and ability. The other fact I was working on was the fact that I had very few female customers. My typical customers were men, ranging in age from teenage through old man, and they were usually dressed in oil-smeared clothes that had little resemblance to their original color or shape. The few women who came into the shop were regulars and they were usually only distinguishable from the men in the length of their hair and the higher pitch of their voice.\nComparison to what I knew was also strongly ...Download file to see next pagesRead More\nBlack Stereotype\nComparing Father\nComparing Ideas\nComparing Women\nName Woman\n(\u201cStereotype paper Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words\u201d, n.d.)\nStereotype paper Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 750 words.

First she understood that people were absolutely unaware of how to deal with victims of rape just after the horrible incident. She was put in the glass walled room until the police arrived.

The reason for this belief traces to the movies that I\u2019ve seen where women decided to go shopping when they had hard times of their lives; also, the women I know love buying clothes and changing different outfits, because they think this would make them prettier. The reason why I know that women love shopping is that when I come to a shopping mall I mostly see happy women there, rather than happy men, as it seems like men endure buying things and they want to get rid of shopping as fast as it is possible, when women adore shopping and can spend entire day in shopping malls.

This is a tremendously important survivorship issue for many people. As an oncologist, I\u2019m often asked questions about preserving fertility during cancer treatment. If this issue affects you, here is an overview of key options.\nWhen should you talk to your cancer team about fertility?\nFuture children may not be foremost on your mind when you are diagnosed with cancer. Soon afterward, though, it\u2019s worth talking to your doctor about fertility issues, if this is important to you now or might one day become important.\nYour doctor can explain:\nthe risk that your cancer might cause infertility the risk that your treatment might cause infertility options before or during treatment that might help you preserve fertility. What might make infertility more likely to occur?\nWhen an adult has cancer, some factors that raise risk for infertility include:\nAge. Infertility is more likely in women who are older at diagnosis. Type of cancer. Some cancers affect fertility, such as Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma, or prostate cancer in men. Treatments. Some treatments affect fertility by damaging or removing reproductive organs. For example, treating cervical, uterine, or ovarian cancer usually requires removing a woman\u2019s ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus. Radiation to the pelvis used to treat colon or uterine cancer can permanently harm ovaries. And some, but not all, chemotherapies needed to effectively treat different cancers may temporarily or permanently cause women to stop having periods (amenorrhea), a surrogate measure for damage to the eggs in the ovaries. This is less likely to happen to younger women. Research on women treated with chemotherapy containing cyclophosphamide shows that amenorrhea occurred in 0% to 15% of women 35 or younger; 30% to 50% of women between 36 and 40; and 70% of women over 40. Can cancer treatments be adapted to preserve fertility?\nSometimes it\u2019s possible to do this, although not always. Special approaches to preserve fertility have been developed for younger women with certain lower-risk cancers. This might entail moving ovaries out of a radiation field. Or it might mean doing less surgery, such as removing only one ovary, or sparing part of the cervix in women with lower-risk cervical cancer or part of the uterus in women with lower-risk uterine cancer.\nWhat else might help preserve fertility?\nFor men, sperm banking is the go-to option before cancer treatment. This can be costly over time. Also, having cancer may affect sperm production for some men.\nFor women, options are usually more complicated.\nSuppressing the ovaries with a monthly shot of medication during treatment. Some research links this approach with less premature menopause and greater fertility. While this strategy is fairly straightforward, whether it actually works is controversial. It appears to have only modest effects on fertility preservation, mainly in patients with breast cancer. Freezing eggs or embryos before treatment. This option works for women with many types of cancers. To harvest eggs, a woman generally undergoes ovarian stimulation with hormones. Minor surgery is then done to remove the maturing eggs for immediate freezing or fertilization before freezing. The procedure takes two to six weeks, which is too long to wait to treat some cancers. This option can be expensive and is often not covered by insurance. Also, for women with some cancers, such as hormone-sensitive breast cancer, experts are unsure if the high hormonal levels needed to stimulate the ovaries may have an impact on cancer growth. Your doctor can explain more about what is, and isn\u2019t, known. Freezing whole ovaries or slices of ovarian tissue. Only certain specialized centers offer this experimental option. It requires surgery before cancer treatment, but no time for ovarian stimulation, so it may be particularly attractive for women who need to start treatment quickly. At this time, the techniques are experimental. Success rates \u2014 that is, successful births \u2014 are limited. Some experts are concerned about using this approach for women with cancers known to spread to the ovaries. It may not be safe to implant tissue that may be harboring cancer cells back into a woman who has been cured of a cancer. How can you learn more?\nTalk to your health care team about your hopes and concerns.\nA reproductive endocrinologist (fertility doctor) can help you learn about available options, processes, and risks. Be sure to ask questions about safety, timing, availability, success rates, and costs of all potential fertility preservation strategies.\nAsk your cancer care team about the safety and feasibility of pregnancy after cancer. This is particularly important for women with high-risk cancers and hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast cancer. Fortunately, the most recent data suggest that pregnancy itself does not worsen breast cancer outcomes. But some concerns remain, especially if women stop taking risk-reducing hormone therapy early in order to become pregnant. Research is underway to learn more about this issue.\nCheck these web sites for more information and answers to many questions:\nDana-Farber Cancer Institute Fertility Preservation Program LiveStrong Fertility Program The Oncofertility Consortium, a national program housed at Northwestern University Resolve\nThe post Preserving fertility during cancer treatments appeared first on Harvard Health Blog.\nOriginally Posted Here: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/alternative-therapies-for-cancer-2019020115888\nYou may have seen the ads in the Sunday paper or on TV: \u201cTry this all-natural remedy! Thousands already have!\u201d\nSome of these ads grab your attention with the headline, \u201cHere\u2019s something your doctors don\u2019t want you to know.\u201d I highly doubt that your doctor is interested in keeping secrets from you, especially if there was something safe and effective that could improve your health. In addition, the treatments promoted in these ads are typically untested, unproven, and largely unregulated.\nWhile I rarely object to my patients pursuing \u201calternative remedies\u201d that seem safe, I am concerned when the ads suggest that you can \u201cthrow away all those pills\u201d your doctor recommended because the advertised treatment will make them unnecessary. That always seemed like a hazardous claim. A new study suggests that there is danger in relying on unproven treatments over those that have been well-tested.\nThe new study on alternative cancer treatments\nResearchers analyzed data from nearly two million patients with cancer treated at accredited medical centers throughout the US. They only included patients with cancers of the breast, lung, colon, or prostate that had not spread to other areas of the body.\nCompared with those who received only conventional cancer treatments (including surgery, radiation treatment, chemotherapy, and/or hormone therapy), those who chose a \u201ccomplementary\u201d cancer treatment (such as herbs or acupuncture) along with at least one conventional cancer treatment:\ntended to be younger, female, have higher socioeconomic status and educational level, and live in Pacific or Intermountain West regions of the United States. declined additional conventional treatments more often. For example, chemotherapy was refused by 34% of those choosing unproven remedies, but by only 3% of the conventional treatment-only group. did not live as long. The five-year survival was 82% in the unproven treatment group, and 87% in the conventional treatment group. had a higher rate of death that appeared to be due to delay or refusal of conventional treatment.\nWhile the difference in five-year survival was small, it was statistically significant. And if this were a comparison of two new treatments, a 5% difference would be considered important.\nCaveats about this study\nThis study was not designed to directly compare non-conventional therapies with conventional ones, and the results do not mean that all unproven remedies are useless. In fact, an unproven treatment may become conventional if rigorous research proves its worth. There are many types of alternative treatments (including herbs, vitamins, homeopathy, yoga, and acupuncture) that might have different effects and have not yet been well studied. Importantly, this study did not examine the interaction of conventional and alternative treatments (which in some cases may cause problems).\nIn addition, this study did not actually find that complementary treatments along with conventional treatments were harmful. But it did suggest that relying on unproven remedies instead of conventional therapies might be.\nFinally, this study did not examine all types of cancer, all types of treatments, or the impact of treatment on quality of life. Different results might have been observed if other outcomes of interest (such as quality of life) had been included.\nIf you have cancer and are interested in herbs, acupuncture, or other alternative treatments, talk to your doctor. Think twice before declining conventional treatments. But if you do decline recommended treatment, make sure you understand the pros and cons of doing so, including the possibility of shorter survival.\nThe post Alternative therapies for cancer appeared first on Harvard Health Blog.\nOriginally Posted Here: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/why-keep-a-food-diary-2019013115855\nMany people begin the new year with a resolve to improve their health. This improvement often starts with changing what they eat.\nA food diary can be a useful tool in this process. It can help you understand your eating habits and patterns, and help you identify the foods \u2014 good and not-so-good \u2014 you eat on a regular basis. Research shows that for people interested in losing weight, keeping a journal can be a very effective tool to help change behavior. In one weight loss study of nearly 1,700 participants, those who kept daily food records lost twice as much weight as those who kept no records.\nWhat should you include in a food diary?\nMost experts agree that the secret to successful food journaling is accuracy and consistency. So, what should you record? A basic food diary should include the following:\nWhat are you eating? Write down the specific food and beverage consumed and how it is prepared (baked, broiled, fried, etc.). Include any sauces, condiments, dressings, or toppings. How much are you eating? List the amount in household measures (cups, teaspoons, tablespoons) or in ounces. If possible, it is best to weigh and measure your food. If you are away from home, do your best to estimate the portion. When are you eating? Noting the time that you\u2019re eating can be very helpful in identifying potentially problematic times, such as late-night snacking.\nJotting down where you\u2019re eating, what else you\u2019re doing while you\u2019re eating, and how you\u2019re feeling while eating can help you understand some of your habits and offer additional insight.\nWhere are you eating? Record the specific place you are consuming food, whether it\u2019s at the kitchen table, in your bedroom, in the car, walking down the street, at a restaurant, or at a friend\u2019s home. What else are you doing while eating? Are you on the computer, watching TV, or talking with a family member or a friend? Who are you eating with? Are you eating with your spouse, children, friend, or a colleague, or are you alone? How are you feeling as you\u2019re eating? Are you happy, sad, stressed, anxious, lonely, bored, tired? Tips for successful food journaling\nHere are more tips for keeping a successful food diary:\nWrite down the food or beverage as soon as you consume it. Don\u2019t wait until the end of the day because your recollection is likely to be less accurate. Be as specific as you can with the food or beverage. For example, if you are drinking a latte, note the type and size. Be sure to include any alcoholic beverages you consume. A smartphone app like Lose It! or MyFitnessPal can support your efforts. These apps also offer information on calories and other nutrients. You\u2019ve kept a food diary. Now what?\nAfter completing a week\u2019s worth of food journaling, step back and look at what you\u2019ve recorded. Search for any trends, patterns, or habits. For example, you might consider:\nHow healthy is my diet? Am I eating vegetables and fruit every day? If so, how many servings? Am I eating whole grains each day? Am I eating foods or beverages with added sugar? If so, how frequently? Do my moods affect my eating habits? Do I reach for unhealthy snacks when I\u2019m tired or stressed? How often do I eat on the run? Set SMART healthy eating goals\nOnce you\u2019ve identified areas for improvement, set one or two healthy eating goals for yourself. In doing so, use the SMART goal format. That means your goals should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-based. Here are a few examples of SMART goals.\nFood diary observation: You average two servings of vegetables per day.\nGoal: Eat more vegetables.\nSMART goal: Eat three servings of vegetables per day.\nFood diary observation: You order takeout three or four nights per week.\nGoal: Cook more at home.\nSMART goal: Order take out no more than one or two nights per week.\nFood diary observation: You eat healthy meals and snacks until about 3 pm, when you hit the office vending machine.\nGoal: Eat healthier snacks.\nSMART goal: Bring a healthy snack (a piece of fruit and a small handful of nuts) to work every day.\nKeeping a food journal can be very informative and move you toward improving your health. Using the data from your food diary to make SMART changes, and continuing to track your progress, is a great place to start your journey for a healthier 2019.\nThe post Why keep a food diary? appeared first on Harvard Health Blog.",

Mr. Ghozio said he was excited to get involved in issues beyond environmental sensitivity and wetlands.\n\u201cI think we have a few good issues this year,\u201d Mr. Ghosio said. \u201cCertainly we hope to resolve the issues with Vineyard 48, which seems to be moving along \u2026 and trying to start working towards a resolution to the problems that we have with the amount of deer that we have in town.\n\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a learning curve for sure. Even though I have been working in the town for seven years, now I get to learn about the other departments I never had anything to do with,\u201d he added.\nThe Town Board will need to appoint a new trustee to replace Mr. Ghosio. A special election for the final year of the term will then be held in November, said Peter McGreevy. Mr. Russell said the Town Board could even appoint an interim trustee who would then step down to let all non-incumbents vie for the seat in the election.\nIncumbent Republican trustees John Bredemeyer, Mike Domino and Charles Sanders were all sworn in, as was assessors Bob Scott and Kevin Webster.\nBetty Neville was sworn in as town clerk, a position she has held since 1997.\nJustice William Price was sworn in for his ninth term as Southold Town Justice.

She is the former chair of Southold Town\u2019s renewable energy committee and also served on the Town\u2019s stormwater run-off committee and the Citizen\u2019s Committee for a Comprehensive Plan for Southold Town. Two years ago, she ran unsuccessfully on the Democratic line for a seat on the Town Board.\nHer pitch: Ms. Domenici said her first priority is community collaboration and satisfaction. If elected, she hopes to organize educational meetings to inform the community about the way the assessor\u2019s office functions.\nIn her words: \u201cWhat I bring to this position is the ability to communicate and collaborate well with people. I am the candidate who will bring creative ideas and fairness to the office of the Assessor.\u201d\nTerry Hofer\nOccupation: Interior stylist, self-employed\nParty lines: Democrat\nAbout her: Ms. Hofer, 59, moved to the North Fork as a child in 1964 and has lived most of her life here, raising two children in the Mattituck-Cutchogue community. She is a former owner of the Down Home Store in Cutchogue, which she operated for seven years.

He has been a member of the Orient Fire Department for 29 years, including 14 as chairman and three as a commissioner of the fire district. He was the department\u2019s Fireman of the Year in 2003. Mr. Scott has served six terms as a Southold Town Assessor and is the office\u2019s current chairman. In 1993 he was granted the New York State designation of Certified Assessor Advanced. He has also served as president of the Suffolk County Assessors Association. If re-elected, he said this would be his final term.\nHis pitch: Mr. Scott believes his experience, and that of his running mate, Kevin Webster, should be strongly considered when casting a vote this Election Day. He pointed to their first-hand knowledge of the day-to-day business of an assessor as key differences between them and their opponents. He said maintaining a level of continuity is important in an office where another longtime assessor already retired earlier this year.\nIn his words: \u201cKevin Webster and I have tried to continue the \u2018open door\u2019 accessibility to all the public when it comes to assessment questions \u2014 whether it\u2019s agricultural, senior citizen or STAR exemptions, deeds, estimates on future construction, etc. It is our hope to be seen as uniform and fair in any assessment situation.\u201d\nKevin W.

He worked for 14 years in the appraisal, real estate and assessment industry, completing the New York State real estate sales agent and appraisers\u2019 courses in that time. He has been a member of the East Marion Fire Department since 2004 and is currently its chairman. Mr. Webster was first elected Southold Town Assessor in 2005 and has served two terms.\nHis pitch: Mr. Webster believes that with the evolution of the job of assessor to include appraisals, exemption and tax return analysis and increased interaction with the public, he and running mate,Bob Scott, are best suited for the position.\nIn his words: \u201cOur complete knowledge of all hamlets of the town, from Fishers Island to Laurel, allows us to help every one of our homeowners in a personal manner.\u201d\nTwo-year unexpired term, one open seat\nRichard L. Caggiano\nOccupation: Financial analyst\nAbout him: Mr. Caggiano, 64, moved to Southold with his wife, Susan, in 1985. The couple has three children. He studied teaching at St. John\u2019s University and taught in New York City schools. He later changed careers and entered into the financial industry, opening an office in Southold. Mr. Caggiano has served on the Southold school board, the Greenport/Southold Chamber of Commerce, the Southold Town Planning Board, the town supervisor\u2019s Tax Council and the Southold Hamlet Stakeholders.\nHis pitch: Mr. Caggiano said the assessor position requires interaction with the public on a daily basis, often in a contentious atmosphere, and he believes his 25-plus years of experience in the corporate, small business and governmental sectors qualify him for the job. He said his background includes proficiency in budgeting, forecasting, financial and operational analysis, management, governmental contracting and grants and procurement.\nIn his words: \u201cThrough my years of service, both volunteer and professional, I have developed the ability to be fair, balanced and respectful toward everyone, resulting in successful outcomes.\u201d\nJason A.

Mr. Petrucci has served on the town\u2019s Conservation Advisory Council, participated in the Blue Ribbon Commission and served as an intern for Comgressman Tim Bishop. He currently works at Friar\u2019s Head Golf Club in Riverhead.\nHis pitch: Mr. Petrucci said he was surprised to learn that property owners of merged substandard lots in pre-1971 subdivisions are assessed for the value of two separate lots. He believes there needs to be better communication between the assessor\u2019s office and other town departments in order to prevent redundancies and the over-assessment of properties.\nIn his words: \u201cMy long experience [studying] town planning department subject matter and publication procedures gives me a practical perspective that I know the Board of Assessors would benefit from.\u201d\nKevin Webster, Marie Domenici, Robert Scott, Southold Town, Southold Town Assessor, Terry Hofer",

        "raw_content": "Figuring out what to eat when you are eating for two can be quite difficult and confusing. Hopefully, our list of the top 10 foods for pregnant moms can help. Also, here is a little bonus - babies exposed to a variety of healthy food in the womb are more likely to recognize and accept those flavors later on in childhood.\nEggs are a great source of protein, which is a crucial part of your pregnancy diet. The amino acids that make up protein are the building blocks of the cells in your body and your baby's. Eggs also contain more than a dozen vitamins and minerals, including choline. Choline helps your baby's brain and spinal cord develop properly, and helps prevent neural tube defects.\nCombine eggs with any veggies and cheese you have in your kitchen and you will have the makings of a frittata.\nOmega-3 fatty acids are crucial for your baby's healthy development, and might even boost your own mood. Salmon is a low-mercury option for the 8 to 12 ounces of seafood pregnant women are encouraged to eat each week.\nBeans are a good source of protein and a fantastic source of iron, folic acid, potassium, magnesium, and essential fatty acids \u2013 all important for you when you are pregnant. They are also a great food for fiber, which can help prevent and relieve two common pregnancy discomforts: constipation and hemorrhoids.\nCreamy white beans with sausage, broccoli, and bread crumbs.\n4.Sweet potatoes\nSweet potatoes get their orange color from carotenoids, plant pigments that are converted to vitamin A in our bodies. They are also a great source of vitamin C, folic acid, and fiber.\nGreat idea for you and for the kids - baked sweet potato fries.\n5.Walnuts\nWalnuts are one of the richest sources of plant-based omega-3s. They are also a good source of protein and fiber. Grab a hand full of walnuts for a snack or toss some into a salad.\nGreek yogurt typically has twice the protein of regular yogurt. Plus, it is a great source of probiotics and calcium. Calcium helps to keep your own bones strong and contributes to the growth of a healthy skeleton for your baby.\n7.Colorful fruits and veggies\nEating plenty of green, red, orange, yellow, purple fruits and vegetables helps you and your baby get a variety of nutrients. Each color group provides different vitamins and minerals. By the way, salads are an easy way to combine colorful fruits and vegetables.\n8.Lean meats\nMeat is an excellent source of high-quality protein. Look for cuts that are around 95 to 98 percent fat free. Beef and pork get extra points for also containing choline. Skip deli meats and hot dogs, though, unless they are heated until steaming hot. There is a small risk of infection from bacteria and parasites such as listeria, toxoplasma, or salmonella, which can be dangerous during pregnancy for you and your baby.\nWe believe you will get some ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just for a snack. Anyways, we hope it will help you. So good luck and bon appetite!\nPrevious article Babies' names 9",

By Ymwang42Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons\nVitamin B12 is a water-soluble essential vitamin required for the proper functioning of the brain, nervous system, DNA, and blood cells. It may be a speculative fat burner due to its role in:\nCell energy metabolism. B12 is a necessary nutrient for breaking down and converting foods we eat into life energy.\nPopulations at Risk for B12 Deficiency\nVitamin B12\u2019s Fat Burning Bio-Activities\nSupporting overall vitality\nSupporting cell energy metabolism\nAvailable Forms of Vitamin B12\nVitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is one of the 13 essential vitamins \u2013 compounds that are required for the body to function properly.\nIn particular, vitamin B12 plays a central role in the normal functioning of the brain, nerves, and blood cells. In its active methylcobalamin form, B12 helps to balance and regulate blood homocysteine levels.\nB12 supports the brain. When B12 levels are low, brain degeneration seems more prevalent \u2014 making B12 a popular ingredient in nootropic stacks and brain supplements. B12 also acts as a methyl donor, helping to synthesize protein and DNA \u2013 the genetic material found in all cells.\nMost relevant to its potential role as a fat-burner, specifically: Vitamin B12 plays critical roles in cell energy metabolism.\nPopulati\nnited States, B12 deficiency is estimated to affect anywhere from 1.5% to 15% of the population.1 Low levels seem more prevalent in certain populations, especially the following:2\nbe found only in animal foods such as meat, fish, and dairy. For this reason, vegans and vegetarians are more often deficient, and are advised to take a B-12 supplement.\nAdults ov\nw older, levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach tend to decline. This presents a challenge for nutrient absorption in general, but especially for absorbing the form of Vitamin B12 that is naturally present in foods we eat.\nThis age-related decline is why the US Dept. of Health says, \u201cPeople over 50 should get most of their vitamin B12 from fortified foods or dietary supplements because, in most cases, their bodies can absorb vitamin B12 from these sources.\u201d\nBoth these populations are suggested to get the majority of their dietary B12 from supplements or fortified foods \u2014 because they use the crystalline form of the vitamin that is believed to be easier to absorb.\nThis image of Foods Highest in Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) illustrates why vegetarians and vegans have a hard time getting enough from their diet.\nVitamin B12\u2019s\nits more well-established roles in cardiovascular and nervous system health, Vitamin B12 has also recently been promoted as a weight loss aid, taken by injection or as part of a multi-ingredient supplement.\nEvidence for B12 as a fat-burner is early and suggestive at best. But in the context of weight management supplements, B12 has been suggested to help by:\nSupporting overall v\nsociated with feelings of fatigue and low energy. In theory, supplementing with B12 can restore healthy levels, and in doing so, restore the vitality that helps advance fitness and weight management efforts.\nSupporting cell ener\nethylcobalamin form is necessary for biochemical metabolism \u2014 life-supportive processes that include the breakdown and conversion of foods we eat into energy that we burn.3\nB12\u2019s metabolic activity seems directly related to fat-burning, and may suggest B12 is a necessary nutrient for fat-burning to occur. But it\u2019s important to remember that this is a theoretical and early position that has not yet been demonstrated in strong human research.\nSome experts suggest B12 may only help our health in general in cases of deficiency.4 But we\u2019ve already established that B12 deficiency may be more common than you think \u2014 especially in one population that also may have more concerns with weight: Adults over age 50.\nFor this reason, we think that B12\u2019s potential weight management support makes more sense in those age 50+ who may have age-related weight gain concerns.\np>There is no research that looks particularly at vitamin B12 as a weight loss agent, and studies that examined a possible connection between obesity and vitamin B12 levels report conflicting results.\nLow vitamin B12 appears to be associated with being overweight and obese\nThe goal of this study was to see if there was any connection between vitamin B12 levels and obesity, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome. A total of 976 patients were grouped in accordance to their health parameters: obesity, overweight, control, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. The researchers found that there was a significant negative correlation between vitamin B12 levels and body mass index (BMI), meaning that patients with higher body weight tended to have lower B12 levels.\nThe researchers concluded that \u201cLow Vitamin B12 level was associated with obesity and overweight, but not with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and gender. Vitamin B12 was negatively correlated only with body mass index\u201d5\nMorbidly obese individuals appear to have adequate vitamin B12 levels\nThis study sought to determine if morbid obesity was linked to lower vitamin levels. A total of 110 patients with morbid obesity and 58 healthy individuals had their vitamin levels tested. Although the morbidly obese participants had lower concentrations of several vitamins, such as B6, vitamin B12 was found to be adequate.\nThe researchers concluded that \u201cmorbidly obese Norwegian patients seeking weight loss may have low circulating concentrations of several vitamins, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D, vitamin B-6, vitamin C, and lipid-adjusted vitamin E\u201d6\nthere are currently no dosage recommendations for vitamin B12 supplementation for weight loss.\nRecommended daily allowance for Vitamin B12 is approximately 2.5 micrograms\nRetail supplements typically supply between 1000 mcg \u2013 5000 mcg\ntamin that is well-tolerated, even at higher dosages. It does not appear to cause any significant side effects or adverse events.\ntamin B12 is typically sold as cobalamin in tablet or lozenge form. Cobalamin is an affordable form of B12, but not the most active or effective. Cyanocobalamin must be converted into methylcobalamin in order to perform its most important health-supportive bio-activities.\nMethylcobalamin: B-12\u2019s benefits are driven by the Methylcobalamin, the form that accounts for most of the B12 naturally present in the body. Potent and bioavailable, methylcobalamin is believed to be easier for the body to absorb and utilize than plain cyanocobalamin.\nSupplements in Review Re\nsize: 14pt;\">Vitamin B12 as Methylcobalamin, 2500 mg\nB12 supports metabolic processes that are related to fat burning. But it\u2019s important to remember that as a fat burner, B12 is backed by theory only. Age-related B-12 decline is real, however. Since B12 is well-regarded for helping health in many other areas \u2014 circulation, nerve health, brain health and more \u2014 and since older adults may fall short on B12, it makes sense to supplement with it for fat-burning, especially if you\u2019re age 50+.\nTaking Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin is the right idea. Absorption seems to be the major obstacle in B12 supplementation, and methylcobalamin is more absorbable, bioavailable, and active than plain cobalamin B12. 2500 mcg is a mid-range dose for supplements, and a good starting point for B12.\nhttps://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB12-Consumer/ \u21a9\nhttp://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/b-12-deficiency/ \u21a9\nShunsuke Nishimoto, et al.

        "raw_content": "Florida voters interested in solar power have had a confusing year in 2016, evaluating three proposed amendments to the state constitution and deciding to how to vote on the two that have made it to the ballot box.\nThe most immediate concern is Amendment 1, which will appear on the November ballot. As noted by the Tampa Bay Times (here) \u201cIt is backed by the utilities and opposed by renewable energy advocates. The misnamed Consumers for Smart Solar will be Amendment 1 and would merely enshrine into the Constitution the unfair playing field that already exists in the power market. It restates the options current law provides in allowing property owners to place solar equipment on their property. But unlike a competing amendment that would have opened the market, whose sponsors have been forced to wait until 2018, the industry-backed proposal does nothing to expand consumer choice, competitive pricing or any other benefits of a truly open market. The measure was intended to mislead voters and block the pro-solar power amendment all along.\u201d\nFor the future, solar energy supporters are hoping that a proposed amendment developed by a non-profit organization, Floridians for Solar Choice (http://www.flsolarchoice.org/about/), will be placed on the ballot in coming years. Currently, Florida is one of only a handful of states that makes it illegal for entities other than utilities to sell electricity directly to consumers (see here), effectively banning sales to consumers by solar installation companies such as SolarCity and discouraging their presence in the state. In 2016 Floridians for Solar Choice developed the \u201cFlorida Right to Produce and Sell Solar Energy Initiative\u201d to eliminate that situation by providing businesses and individuals with a constitutional right to produce up to two megawatts of solar power and sell that power directly to others at the same or contiguous property. The right would be secured by limiting government and electrical utilities\u2019 abilities to impose barriers to supplying local solar electricity. However, the proposed amendment did not receive a sufficient number of voter petitions to allow it to be included on the 2016 ballot. The organization remains active, continues to solicit petition signatures (see here), and is hoping to have their measure on the ballot as an amendment to the state constitution in 2018.\nAnd from the recent past, solar supporters can be pleased about the approval of Amendment 4, which was on the August 2016 ballot and passed by a 73 percent to 27 percent margin. As noted by the Tampa Bay Times (here) prior to the election, \u201cLegislators unanimously voted to place [the] constitutional amendment on that ballot [to] provide tax breaks to property owners who install solar. The measure is a good start at creating cleaner and more affordable energy, and voters should approve it. The amendment would repeal personal property taxes on solar energy equipment, and exempt for 20 years real estate taxes on solar devices. It is primarily aimed at businesses, and the goal is to expand the market for solar by making it cheaper on the front end to lease and install the equipment and more cost effective over time to switch to renewable energy. The legislative measure also could be a starting point for a more assertive solar policy.\u201d\nhttp://www.tampabay.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-court-should-reject-solar-amendment/2268839\nhttp://www.tampabay.com/opinion/editorials/editorial-one-good-one-bad-solar-amendment/2271572\nhttp://www.flsolarchoice.org/amendment1/\nhttp://archive.naplesnews.com/opinion/perspectives/guest-commentary-support-solar-in-florida-then-vote-no-on-solar-amendment-3384f366-78ba-4fa1-e053-01-381427701.html\nhttp://thefloridavoter.org/vote-no-on-amendment-1-in-november/\nhttp://www.tampabay.com/opinion/columns/dockery-dont-be-fooled-by-anti-solar-amendment-1/2294843\nhttp://www.pv-tech.org/news/a-big-step-backwards-for-solar-in-florida\nhttps://www.flaseia.org/",

(See 2013 and 2012 here.) Don\u2019t be scared, but there may be some spoOoOoOoky rereads\u2026\n(That doesn\u2019t really make sense.)\nHappy October! This is the only time of year I get excited about reading a certain genre to match the time of year. (Well, I also like chick lit during the summer.)\nA Kiss Before Dying by Ira Levin. I have raved about him before. He\u2019s amazing. This book is great for rereads. So much fun. Ira Levin. \u2764 \u2764 \u2764\nSomething Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. I haven\u2019t read this one in a couple years but it\u2019s PERFECT for Halloween, so I\u2019m going for it.\nThe Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. I was going to read this last year but spent the entire month getting through two epic Stephen King* books. I tried to make this year\u2019s list a lot more manageable and I will put this one near the top of the list. Concise, creepy, and way better than the movie it spawned, The Haunting of Hill House has been known to keep me up at night in the past.\nDeathtrap by Ira Levin. Speaking of manageable books, this one is actually a play. Nominated in 1978 for the Tony Award for Best Play, this play within a play has been done all over \u2013 and is actually being done this month at Center REPertory Company in Walnut Creek. Check it out!\nThe Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. It comes highly recommended, and I\u2019ve loved the Gaiman stuff I\u2019ve read before. With a name like \u201cThe Graveyard Book,\u201d it should be ideal for Halloweentime. Plus, it was only like $6 for the paperback on Amazon. Sold.\nYou may have noticed\u2026I don\u2019t have any Stephen King on this list! Shocking, I know, but it\u2019s okay. There\u2019s always next year!

        "raw_content": "Check out what the Marketing Tools in the Hepsia Control Panel include. Learn to take advantage of these instruments and boost your website's rankings.\nThe success of a site generally depends on its content and on how and where you promote it. Unique content and a proper advertising campaign will often bring about a lot more visitors, still there are some other factors which can make a difference as well. Several examples are: how easy it is to navigate through the site, whether you target different groups with the very same content, what position you have in search engines, etcetera. We've added several software tools to the Hepsia Control Panel which will help you make your sites very popular among visitors with minimal efforts. The tools are very easy-to-work-with and include a very intuitive interface, which means that you can take advantage of them even when you don't have any previous experience and you are making your first website.\nAs all tools are part of the Hepsia Control Panel, you can use them with any of the cloud hosting packages that we offer. The sitemap generator, for example, will allow you to build a detailed sitemap of your Internet site and choose how many links have to be included and what content should be indexed. Having a sitemap is really important not only for the website visitors, but also for search engines like google because they will index your content better, thus the site is more likely to achieve greater rankings. The user experience is also quite important and with our GeoIP feature you could reroute visitors to various pages in accordance with what part of the world they are from. This will help you make your website more popular in these regions. You may also submit news and updates from your Internet site using the RSS feed tool, so your visitors will always be up-to-date with products, campaigns, etcetera.\nOne of the things which will have the most positive effect on your websites will be to generate a sitemap and you will be able to do this with only a couple of clicks using the sitemap generator that we offer. As the software tool generates a search engine friendly file, the search results which people will see from your Internet site will be more exhaustive, not mentioning that updating the sitemap will also make it easier for search engines like Google to keep track of any changes you make on the website. You can choose how many links and what type of content the sitemap shall include. What is more, we offer two more software instruments which will enhance the user experience of your website visitors. Using the GeoIP function in Hepsia, you could forward people to various landing pages according to their geographic location, so you can have localized versions of your site for different target areas. The RSS feed tool will make it easier to post updates, so anyone who has signed up will receive news, promotions, etc, on their personal computer or smartphone.\nWe provide Hepsia with all of our hosting packages, which means that in case you need a dedicated server for your Internet sites, you will still be able to use the instruments which we've incorporated in our custom-built Control Panel. Creating a sitemap for any of your Internet sites, for example, will be very easy using the intuitive generator which you will find in Hepsia. With only a couple of clicks you will be able to select what number of links and what content to be included, so not only will site visitors find promptly what they need, but search engines like google will also index all your content better and will keep up with all the site updates which you perform. Two other helpful features which you can also find in Hepsia are the GeoIP redirection and the RSS feed tools. They'll improve the overall user experience of your site visitors, which consequently will make these website visitors return to your Internet site. The first option will enable you to have different landing websites and redirect visitors according to their physical location. Without a doubt, localized pages could greatly raise the interest in your Internet sites among regional communities. The second option will give you the opportunity to publish various news which subscribers can receive in their favorite RSS reader on their phone or PC.",

        "raw_content": "\u2b05 Book Review: The Start-Up of You, by...\nTime Management in a New Era \u27a1\nThe Ways Our Business Change!\nWe live in very interesting times when new business realities and approaches have come into existence! Our business models have changed, along with our ways of doing and manipulate things. But the most interesting thing is, that along our way of doing day-to-day business, a new substratum it seems to emerge. A one signifies the development of a new business environment, in which, all us, would be summoned to work with!\nChanges? Where? What The New Business Environment Signifies?\nDo we reach a Strategic Infection Point or Not?\nThe main feature of this new business reality concerns the information products and structures we design, form and develop. And that not for large companies only. The same principle concerns, small businesses, even and individuals, active in the area of digital or analog product development.\nTechnology and the new business, economic, social and market environment, transform us from just consumers to consumers and producers at the same time.\nTherefore, the way we were doing business is changing radically (and is expected to change some more following our differentiated consumer needs, habits and demands!). To what end, yet not be known. But the stage is changing rapidly, providing opportunities, capabilities, and platforms for new business ideas, enterprises, products, and services, unseen in earlier eras. New actors and agents come forth while others trying to leave gracefully the lights of publicity, having as the main concern only one aim: \u201cnot to lose face\u201c.\nThe \u201cwinds of change\u201d signify changes and transformations in various personal and business levels.\nAt the barriers between personal and professional life.\nAt the decisions, signify a shift from traditional jobs/occupations to new work models and the personal adaptations these mirrors.\nAt the new strategies and tactics to be adopted for adjusting to the new cultural and business environment.\nAt the capabilities, an individual have today for doing his/her job and at the multiplication of skills, attitudes, knowledge and business profiles found in individuals\nAt the emerge of new roles for carrying out business processes and functions with innovative ways and models, striving to smaller profit margins and higher social, sharing, knowledge and community impact.\nAt the embarrassing of a culture of change and permanent beta based personal career path\nAt the multiplication of the new business models, aiming at the inauguration of various startup companies.\nAt the acceleration of the topple rate, (ratio of speed at which firms lose their leadership positions) causing the existing companies to lose their lead status in the market and replaced by others\nAt the modes, new startup companies evolved and developed, mirroring innovative and creative business models implemented in a fraction of time and resources, against the traditional ones.\nAt the rise of new forms of leadership (as the Thought Leadership is, for instance), entrepreneurship, marketing (as the viral marketing is) and modeling of business practices\nAt the many new financing opportunities and resources, available to everybody (like the Kickstarter projects for instance or AngelList)\nAt the multiplication of virtual structures for carried out traditional companies\u2019 function (like virtual assistance, outsourcing, new collaboration and communication tools & platforms for bringing together virtual resources, etc.)\nIt seems, that we truly experiencing a strategic inflection point, accompanied by the advance of many and diversified disruptive technologies.\nIt seems that today, as Andrew S. Grove so eloquent express it, we are witnessing:\nwhat happens to a business when a major change takes place in its competitive environment. A major change due to introduction of new technologies. A major change due to the introduction of a different regulatory environment. The major change can be simply a change in the customers\u2019 values, a change in what customers prefer. Almost always it hits the corporation in such a way that those of us in senior management are among the last ones to notice. I\u2019m paraphrasing the words you used in some of your talk, Peter. But what is common to all of them and what is key is that they require a fundamental change in business strategy, and that\u2019s almost a definition of a Strategic Inflection Point. A Strategic Inflection Point is that which causes you to make a fundamental change in business strategy. Nothing less is sufficient (From Andrew S. Grove\u2019s speech in 1998 at the Acad\u00ademy of Man\u00adage\u00adment meet\u00ading in San Diego).\nTherefore it depends on us, how to exploit these new trends. We would do something that would change ourselves and the world around us or we would be simple bystanders in the course of the new waves, which approach? We have to decide. Soon!\nDo you think that you can exploit the new business environment or not? Are you ready to invest in yourself for transforming yourself and the way you do things or not? Do you think that the new business approach would benefit our society or not?\nCategories: Business, Strategy",

The contributions are not considered to be non-concessional contributions and will not count against the contributions caps if all of the relevant conditions are met.\nThere are a number of conditions that need to be met to access these rules, including that the taxpayer has held their main residence for at least 10 years prior to sale and that the property was at least partially exempt from CGT under the main residence exemption. For example, the draft ruling confirms that even though the main residence CGT exemption is subject to a 2 hectare limit, the downsizer contribution rules can potentially apply as long as the taxpayer would be entitled to a partial exemption under the main residence CGT exemption rules.\nTo find out more aspects associated with these new rules and approaches situations where someone\u2019s spouse has died, where property has been subdivided and where someone bought vacant land and built their main residence on it, come and talk to us Tax Ideas Accountants & Advisers\u2026http://taxideas.com.au/booking/ Tel: (02) 8318 1545",

As mentioned previously, Law 360 employs reporters in 12 major cities; some of these reporters are \u201cSenior\u201d reporters and write articles about different topics within the legal community in very good detail. Below is a view of how to locate the In-Depth articles from the home page. One way is to click the three lines in the top left of the screen and pull up the navigation bar. The In-Depth section is at the top. The other option to find the In-Depth articles is through the small slide show on the right hand of the home page. If the In-Depth picture is not up, you can click the arrows on the slide show and flip to the right picture before clicking on the In-Depth section.\nBelow is a picture of the In-Depth page. This page updates much slower than the Law 360 home page, which is comprised of mostly breaking and newer news. The largest picture at the top is the most current In-Depth article written by a senior reporter. Below that is the slightly older articles that discuss other topics in great detail.\nBelow here is the view of the top of an In-Depth article. Usually, the top will have a picture for the article and then go into their analysis. As stated, these articles are very in depth and detailed. Each takes time, research and analysis to complete. They are a very good source for more specific information than a normal Law 360 article but are much narrower in scope and availability.\nAt the very bottom of the page, there is a list of older In-Depth articles. These articles are easy to access but are not as current as the ones listed in the main page. However, they are still In-Depth articles, and are the same level of quality as the others and therefore still a great resource on Law 360. Below is a view of that that section looks like.\nAuthor Marin DellPosted on July 31, 2018 May 22, 2018 Categories Legal ResearchTags Database, Online Services",

        "raw_content": "Can I get a mortgage?\nIn most cases, yes! We can help you explore all your options because we deal with many different lenders. Because they all have different lending criteria and finance solutions, we can use our expertise and experience to work out which one will suit you best.\nHow quickly can I get finance?\nNormally, it takes a minimum of three days to process a straightforward mortgage. If you\u2019re borrowing more than 80% of the value of the property, or there are other special conditions, you should allow at least five to seven working days. If you start talking to us now, we can help you get all your ducks in a row to make the approval process go more smoothly.\nDo I need to fill in a lot of forms?\nThere is quite a bit of paperwork involved, but it\u2019s worth investing the time in filling it in correctly, and we\u2019ll help you through the process. First, you\u2019ll need to complete financial statement detailing your income, assets, debts and expenses. Next, you\u2019ll need to provide proof of your income and your deposit. You\u2019ll also need to bring in a few months\u2019 worth of bank statements. These help the lender to work out how much you can afford to borrow. A credit check may also be performed.\nWhat if I don\u2019t have a 20% deposit?\nYou may still be able to get a mortgage if you need to borrow more than 80% of the property\u2019s value, as long as you have good income and no other debts. However, borrowing over 80% will cost you more, as most lenders charge a low equity fee of up to 2.5%, or increase your interest rate by between 0.5% and 1.0%. You can add the low equity fee to the mortgage if you can\u2019t cover it in cash.\nYou\u2019ll be restricted as to the amount you can borrow if your loan is over 80%. At under 80%, you can borrow five times your income, but at 90% this decreases to four times your income because the lender will require you to pay off your mortgage more quickly.\nLenders will also require a registered valuation, which costs around $500, and it will be compulsory to arrange and maintain either mortgage repayment or income protection insurance, to ensure the debt will be repaid in the event you become seriously ill or injured.\nWhat does pre-approval mean?\nPre-approval is when a lender confirms the amount they are happy to lend you (subject to you meeting a few standard conditions). Knowing that you are pre-approved for a certain amount makes house-hunting much easier because you know exactly what your maximum budget is. This is especially important at auction, where your purchase is unconditional.\nYes, you can. If you\u2019re struggling to make up the full 20% deposit on your own, you can have a family member guarantee the difference, up to a maximum of 20%.\nWhat\u2019s vendor finance?\nThis is where the vendor keeps some of the equity in the property as a second mortgage, which you\u2019ll have to pay back to them. Normally this arrangement is charged interest at market rates. While uncommon, vendor finance can work in situations where you have no deposit, but high income and no other debts.\nThis is where you take out two mortgages on a property \u2013 one for the initial 80% of the purchase price, and a second for another 10%. While this can help with a low-deposit situation, the tightening of the New Zealand mortgage market means second mortgages are much less popular than they used to be.\nCan I get a mortgage for an apartment, townhouse or empty land?\nYes, you can. In the case of townhouses, apartments and lifestyle blocks under 10 hectares, you can borrow up to a maximum of 80% of the value of the property. With land, it varies from 70% to 80% depending on who is lending the money and where the land is located.\nWhat if I want to build?\nIf you\u2019re building a new house, we may be able to secure you a mortgage for up to 90% of the value of the completed property, although many lenders prefer 80%. Always get a fixed priced contract from a master or certified builder, which comes with a workmanship guarantee.\nBecause you\u2019re borrowing against a house that is not yet completed, you\u2019ll need to get a registered valuation based on the land value and architect\u2019s plans. You won\u2019t get all the money up front, but in stages, as agreed by the lender and the builder. These are called progress payments. The lender may also ask for interim valuations along the way to make sure the build is staying to budget and expected value.\nCan I get a mortgage if I\u2019m a non-resident?\nYes, with some conditions. If you don\u2019t live in New Zealand, you\u2019ll be restricted to borrowing a maximum of 70% of the property\u2019s value. If you work in New Zealand but aren\u2019t a permanent resident, the borrowing cap rises to a maximum of 80%.",

They alleged the values they determined for her music royalties, digital performance royalties, motion picture and TV residuals, and publicity rights (which they valued at $11.7 million) were all overvalued by the IRS, and claimed their tax returns were accurate.\nA trial was set for next month, but the parties were able to reach a deal prior to going to court.",

        "raw_content": "The Seven Sisters 1: The Seven Sisters \u2013 Lucinda Riley\nWith this one, I went a little old school and went to the library to borrow the audiobook. I like listening to audiobooks when I\u2019m falling asleep, it makes it easier for me to get sleepy. Or that depends on the day I suppose, sometimes I just don\u2019t fall asleep.\nMaia D\u2019Apli\u00e9se is one of seven sisters who all are named after a special star in a special zodiac. Common for all sisters is that they are adopted and they know nothing about their past before their father picked them up from all around the world. They all have very different personalities. Maia is the oldest one and she has been living on the family property most of her life. She says it\u2019s because she wants to look after her father and help out around the house, but that is not the entire truth. When her father all of a sudden dies she receives a letter from her father which might lead her to where she originally came from.\nAgain, I managed to listen to book number two in the series so I had a little idea about what I was listening to. Maia starts out this journey by checking out the information about herself that she has received from her father before he died. She is a little hesitant about the whole thing which I can understand in some way. When we know and are used to something humans can be quite difficult and reluctant to change their views or habits. Maia hasn\u2019t known anything else but her safe home, her sisters and her father. Yet she takes the step and she gets to know herself in a completely different way and Riley (author) has done an incredible job describing this journey. If I say more there is going to be spoilers and that\u2019s no fun at all.\nI like the whole history plot in this book and I\u2019m suspecting that all the sisters will have completely different stories to tell when this series evolves into more books. I already know the second and third story, but I\u2019m excited to see where the rest of the sisters have their origins from. I like the twists and the stories hiding behind everything. Again, spoilers will happen so I will have to talk mostly about it without saying stuff straight our. This is a story within a story and I think that\u2019s fun. Also since I\u2019ve studied history at the university the whole backstory for this plot is very interesting. There is also some love in the air, which just makes it more lovely to read.\nTheme: Family, history, love, travelling\nForrige innlegg When in Cracow!\nNeste innlegg The Seven Sisters 2: The Storm Sister \u2013 Lucinda Riley",

        "title": "Book Review: The Bankers",
        "raw_content": "Book Review: The Bankers\nI start the new year with a book review. I\u2019ve been reading this book for a while. I only finished it over the holidays. It\u2019s The Bankers by Martin Meyer. I became a fan of Mr. Meyer\u2019s after I read his book The Greatest Ever Bank Robbery (review in previous post).\nThe Bankers offers an insider\u2019s view of the banking industry. It\u2019s not a textbook. Mr. Meyer drew a picture of the banking industry through stories and quotes from people in the industry. The quotes and stories are much more interesting than dry texts. The book starts with the nature of money and its role in a society. It then explains in details how banks perform their various functions \u2014 holding money, processing payments, lending money, and trading money. I especially like the chapters on payment processing and derivatives trading. The story on the journey of a personal check is fascinating. So are the stories on the history and the evolution of credit cards, the connected web of ATM switch networks, the invention of cash management brokerage accounts, derivative trading gone awry, and so on.\nIf you are interested in learning inside knowledge about banking and you don\u2019t mind reading a long book, this is a good one. I sure learned a lot from it. For example before I read this book I didn\u2019t know that the Federal Reserve is intimately involved in processing checks and electronic fund transfers, with thousands of employees working in these low-level operations. I thought it\u2019s just a policy making and regulatory body. I also learned that the systems for payments between banks are extremely efficient. The average transaction size on the Clearing House Inter-Bank Payments System (CHIPS) is $6 million a pop. The cost? 18 cents to the payer and 18 cents to the payee. Compare that to moving $200 from my credit card to Best Buy. It costs Best Buy $4.\nBecause this is an older book (published in 1997), you can probably find it in your local library. If you want to buy one, used copies are sold on Amazon for less than $5 including shipping.\nRating: **** (good, you will learn something).\ncategories: Banking and Credit Cards, Reviews\nThanks for the reviews. I ordered both books, and very much look forward to reading them.\nAre you attending the Diehards reunion in San Diego (Sep. 22-24)?\nI am, and, if so, would relish the chance to discuss these with you.\nI hope you enjoy the books. I probably won\u2019t attend the Diehards reunion because they are on weekdays. I don\u2019t think I can afford taking days off for the event.",

        "title": "STK X2, First Take: A good-looking budget smartphone Review \u2013 The Gadget News",
        "raw_content": "STK will likely be a new name to many people, but the UK company has a range of handsets in its portfolio. The X2 is STK\u2019s flagship, although it costs just \u00a3169.99 (or \u00a3179.99 if you opt for the tempered glass variant or want a bundled 32GB MicroSD card). The company\u2019s entry-level smartphone is the Evo, which currently costs \u00a339.99, and you can get an STK feature phone for as little as \u00a312.99.\nThe X2 is an unashamedly budget phone in terms of specifications and build materials (although the design is neat enough), with a UI overlay on top of Android 8.1. In the box you get a headset with a 3.5mm jack and a silicone bumper, and the handset comes with a three-year warranty. Another plus is the presence of an IR blaster which, coupled with software, can turn your phone into a remote control for TVs and other consumer electronics. There\u2019s no IR software pre-installed here, but there are plenty of choices in the Play Store.\nSTK\u2019s X2 is a 5.7-inch phone with an 18:9, 720\u00d71440-pixel IPS screen.\nMy review sample had a glass back which, although not a particular fingerprint magnet, was very smooth. This makes the handset slippery to hold, causing it to slide off my armchair at times. A circular fingerprint sensor sits below the raised housing for the two camera lenses. There\u2019s also a gold version of this phone, whose back must be much more of a mirror than the one I had. The phone is relatively thick, which actually makes it easier to hold with confidence one-handed.\nThe STK X2 comes in (shiny) gold as well as black.\nImage: STK\nSTK is shy about some of the handset\u2019s specifications. It doesn\u2019t say that Gorilla Glass is used for the screen, which means it probably isn\u2019t. Nor are the dimensions to be found on the product page online, though press materials put the thickness at 8.2mm, which seems right to me. I measured the phone at 152mm tall and 72mm wide.\nThe 5.7-inch screen is close to edge-to-edge on the long edges, but there are sizeable bezels at the top and bottom. The display resolution of 720 by 1,440 pixels (282ppi) is moderate, but the 18:9 aspect ratio is up to date. There\u2019s no front-camera notch, but few will be bothered about that. The IPS screen is perfectly clear and sharp for most activities, including reading web pages.\nThe single speaker delivers rather tinny sound and isn\u2019t really up to the job of accompanying TV catchup or music listening.\nThe X2\u2019s MediaTek MT6750V chipset is supported by 4GB of RAM, a combo that delivered middling Geekbench 4 scores of 2623 (multi-core) and 661 (single core). I saw similar benchmarks recently from the Palm Palm mini-handset, and the Honor 7A. There was a notable wait while apps launched, and screen presses were sometimes a little slow to generate a response. I also had to wait a while for the fingerprint sensor to do its job, and in general things felt somewhat laggy.\nThe front camera is a 16MP unit, as is the main camera at the back. There\u2019s a second rear camera whose specification is not given online, but which is a 0.3MP unit for depth sensing. The rear camera setup struggled a bit in low light conditions, and focusing in general was a bit hit-and-miss \u2014 sometimes the camera simply refused to focus on what I asked it to, instead making its own decisions about what should and should not be in focus. I found that moving away and returning to the subject tended to fix this problem.\nThere is 64GB of internal storage, of which 56.65GB was free out of the box. This can be boosted by putting a MicroSD card slot into one of the two SIM trays. I noted at the start of this review that Android 8.1 is supplemented by a UI overlay. This is very light touch: STK adds an FM radio into the mix, and a couple of other management apps, but interference with Android is minimal and there are no apps that duplicate Android functions to confuse you.\nThe 3000mAh battery is on the small side these days, and the X2\u2019s battery life reflects this. The Geekbench battery test saw it last for 6 hours 38 minutes and gave it a mediocre rating of 2264. In the real world, a day\u2019s use should be possible, but not if you want to make much use of battery-hungry apps like games or services like GPS. The battery is charged by Micro-USB rather than USB-C, and there\u2019s no facility for fast charging or wireless charging.\nI did have one major problem with this handset, and that was its desire to take a rest every once in a while, completely unbidden. It seemed to get over that after a few days\u2019 use, and it\u2019s entirely possible that a software update will fix it, but it\u2019s unnerving to receive a phone for review with a self-reset issue.\nSTK has arguably committed a marketing blunder by saying that the original price of this handset was \u00a3299.99 (or \u00a3309.99 for the tempered glass/32GB MicroSD options). At that price I would have been unimpressed. It\u2019s much more palatable at \u00a3169.99 or \u00a3179.99. Still, I\u2019d still suggest anyone interested in getting a smartphone in this price bracket does a little shopping around: the Moto G6 or Nokia 6.1 are among the leading alternatives.\nSmartphone market \u2018a mess\u2019 but annual tablet sales are also down\nSamsung mobile marks lowest profit since 2016 battery debacle\nSamsung\u2019s mobile business has posted an operating profit of 1.5 trillion won for the fourth quarter of 2018 \u2014 its lowest since the Galaxy Note 7 battery debacle in 2016.\nChinese handsets continue making inroads in Europe as mid to low end get squeezed\nSamsung and Apple are doing well, as Sony, LG, and Wiko feel the pain.\nWe don\u2019t have a name yet, but we do know quite a bit about the next version of Android.\nBest Phones for 2019 (CNET)\nThese are the top-rated phones on CNET right now.\nSamsung Unveils New Smartphones in India to Win Back Fans \u2013 Bloomberg\nSamsung Unveils New Smartphones in India to Win Back Fans Bloomberg Samsung Electronics Co. unveiled a new range of inexpensive smartphones for India, seeking to win \u2026",

        "title": "Story Of A Youth From Kashmir Who Became A Cricket Star After Losing Both Arms In Childhood - The Logical Indian",
        "raw_content": "Story Of A Youth From Kashmir Who Became A Cricket Star After Losing Both Arms In Childhood\nMarch 3rd, 2016 / 10:30 AM\nImage Source:\u00a0Barcroft TV\nWe have always learned how to bounce back; the art of forgetting a bad incident that happened in our lives, and going back to our previous state. But Kashmir\u2019s 28-year-old Amir Hussain Lone has taught all of us the art of bouncing \u2018forward\u2019; the art in which you do not go back to the previous self but to something even better than that.\nIn 1997, Amir was only 8 when he lost both his arms in a severe accident that took place in his father\u2019s sawmill; he went to the mill to give food to his brother and while playing around (playful as he was a child) his hands caught in a bandsaw. He was in the hospital for 3 years, suffering from grave injuries. Due to the accident, his father had to sell the business and land so as to pay for the all the medical requirements and rehabilitation of Amir.\nLone would have lost his hope if it were not for his family. His grandmother was a tremendous support when she convinced him to go back to school. But it was not even a bit pleasant of a scenario for him there. The teacher had declared that he was a misfit for the school and that he should probably go to a school for the disabled. The father was criticized and tried to be pulled down by the extended family members and friends when he spent his fortune on the nourishment of his son. But he could not stop and went ahead blindly thinking the best for him. \u201cBut he is so dear to me like a part of my body. As a father, why do I need wealth when my son is not well?\u201d\nWhen the growing unsupportiveness from people was, naturally, about to take a toll over Amir, instead it only put more courage inside of him.\nIn between of all this, there is one thing that Amir always wanted to do- play cricket. It was a favourite for Amir and he knew that he could not detach himself from that this sport. However, the very idea of it aroused a round of mockery for the young man; he did not lose, he could not; it was not an option. This time, he knew what he was doing and had his full heart and intentions to do so.\nTime flew by as he practiced and practiced. His technique is very unique as well as extravagant. Amir\u2019s right foot is very accurate- he curls up to get a hold of the ball, turns side and sends the ball down the wicket. His bowling is better and cleaner than that of a right hander. He bats by holding the bat between his chin and shoulder. He fields by using his right foot to catch and throw.\nHe is aware of the fact that the entire family did everything and even lost everything after Amir\u2019s incident. He only wants to bring happiness and spread happiness around himself now. A very independent man as he has become, Amir does everything from washing clothes, to cleaning himself, to eating on his own and by his own.\nThis youthful soul has found a spot as a captain in Kashmir\u2019s state-para cricket team. Today, he is closer to his dreams than any of us could ever. We are too busy trying to be something and do something, whereas Amir has acquired and achieved the far-fetched.\nThe Logical Indian community salutes the brave soul of Kashmir, who does not give the situation and the society a chance to bring him down but his uses that same situation and moulds it into a prize which he holds up high.\nMy Story: After Losing My Hands At The Age Of 10, I Painted More Than 1 Lakh Paintings\nAfter Vijay Mallya, Arms Dealer Who Possessed Confidential Defense Documents Suspected To Have Fled To London\nMy Story: I Was Attracted To A Boy But Throughout My Childhood I Silenced Myself And Pretended To Be Someone Else",

        "title": "New Survey Says Americans Regret How They Used Their Vacation Days in 2018",
        "raw_content": "Americans Regret How They Used Their Vacation Days in 2018, Survey Says\nHave you used all of your paid vacation days for 2018? If not, you\u2019re in good company. A quarter of the people surveyed in a new study by Priceline said they still have more than nine vacation days left on the table, with just one month left in the calendar year.\nAccording to Priceline\u2019s just-released Work-Life Balance Report, which surveyed more than 1,000 people across the US, less than half of Americans (45%) said they always use all their vacation days every year. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the percentage is even lower among women \u2014 only 39% of women who responded said they always use all of their PTO.\nIt\u2019s not exactly news that Americans lose out on an awful lot of paid time off. (Research from Project: Time Off suggests that 24% of workers didn\u2019t use any time off in 2017.) But the Priceline survey also found that Americans weren\u2019t particularly satisfied with the ways they used their days off in 2018.\nMore than 41% of people reported that those \u201coblication\u201d trips (you know, a second cousin\u2019s baby shower or overpriced bachelor getaway) were among their top travel regrets when it comes to how they used hard-earned vacation days. And more than one in four people said they plan to take less paid time off for wedding-related travel in 2019.\nWhen it comes to travel resolutions for 2019, nearly 60% of people surveyed said they plan to take more time off next year than they did this year. Nearly half declared they intend to embark on more solo trips, while a third hope to plan a trip outside the US. Almost two-thirds of Americans surveyed plan to take a passion-driven trip.

        "raw_content": "UK investment banker buys oceanfront Manalapan home\nMichael Lublinsky recently was hired at Barclays\n1245 Lands End Road (Credit: Realtor.com)\nJust a couple of months after landing a new job at the UK investment bank Barclays, Michael Lublinsky bought a new waterfront home in Manalapan.\nProperty records show Lublinsky paid $5.5 million for a recently built 7,240-square-foot house at 1245 Lands End Road. The trade breaks down to about $760 per square foot.\nThe seller is a company led by Howard Werner. Records show Werner bought the 15,250-square-foot property in 2014 for $1.94 million. The five-bedroom, six-bathroom home was built in 2016, records show.\nLublinsky formerly headed the Jersey-based hedge fund Brevan Howard. He started his new position at Barclays in November and will oversee the bank\u2019s macro trading in UK, according to published reports. Before Brevan Howard, Lublinsky headed Royal Bank of Scotland\u2019s global trading department.\nHis new home hit the market for about $6.5 million with the Fite Group\u2019s Jack Elkins in 2014, according to Realtor.com. After more than three years on and off the market with a series of asking prices, the home sold at a 15 percent discount off its original asking price.\nSteven Presson with The Corcoran Group had the most recent listing, according to online marketing material. Michelle Cutler of Miami Beach-based Concierge Real Estate Service brought the buyer.\nIn December, hedge fund manager William Powers paid $13.5 million for an oceanfront lot about eight miles north of Lublinsky\u2019s new home. Nearby, a vacant oceanfront property at 1460 South Ocean Boulevard sold last year for $12.45 million, or about $210 per square foot, to a company managed by Nigerian business executive Onajite Okoloko.\nTags: barclay's, foreign investors, manalapan, Residential Real Estate",

        "raw_content": "Skule Night returns for its 97th anniversary\nThe engineering musical and sketch comedy revue has been in the works since July\nPHOTO BY DAVID PECILE, COURTESY OF SKULE NITE\nSkule Nite, the annual revue put on by U of T\u2019s engineering students, returned for its 97th run from March 14\u201317 at Hart House Theatre. The sketch comedy and musical showcase was composed completely of work by current engineering students and alums.\nSkule Nite allows engineers to showcase their talents in song, dance, and sketch writing. The musical poked fun at the quirks of university experiences, including relationships and online dating, finding a job, studying and food cravings, and the occasional summoning of Satan.\nThe show\u2019s production process lasted nearly an entire year, with the creative work and brainstorming beginning in July and auditions in September. The students\u2019 work definitely came through in their performance.\nChris Renaud, an engineering alum and this year\u2019s musical director of Skule Nite, described the songs as \u201ccreative re-imaginings of other songs.\u201d The songs featured in the musical all had their lyrics rewritten with lyrics to match the sense of humour of the musical. \u201cThe songs are picked first in the summer\u2026 and ultimately form most of the vision of the show,\u201d said Renaud.\nRenaud broke down the process of the music behind the musical. \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty fun process because the people in the creative team \u2014 myself, the directors, the vocals, the choreo team, the producers \u2014 we all get to pick our own ideas for songs,\u201d said Renaud. \u201cIt takes a long time for us to go through each individual song\u2026 put together concepts, discuss the feasibility, and how awesome it would be.\u201d\nThe songs remain at the core of the musical, with the sketches emerging from them. \u201cIt was a really fun process and one of my favourite parts about doing Skule Nite,\u201d said Renaud.\nPia Dimayuga, a cast member of Skule Nite and current engineering student, discussed the intensive work that went into their performances. \u201cWe started having some rehearsals in the fall and then starting second semester, much more heavily. Cast are in rehearsal about 16 hours a week.\u201d\nThis includes working on both their sketches and musical numbers. Dimayuga said that there are two weekday rehearsals for the sketches, which are workshopped with the director and assistant director. On weekends, the cast rehearses vocals and choreography.\nThis year, Dimayuga, a Skule Nite veteran, joined the cast again. The show\u2019s basis of combining sketch and music doesn\u2019t change, but the changing cast adds to the experience. \u201cI think Skule Nite is one of those really cool things that is very different every year because the people that you do it with [are] very different every year,\u201d she said.\nWhat stays the same is the ethos of the show. As Renaud puts it: \u201ca big [and] kind of unique fact about Skule Nite is that we\u2019re engineers doing artistic stuff.\u201d\nPlay that funky music, engineers\nMusic minor approved for Faculty of Applied Sciences & Engineering students\nThe Faculty of Music and the Faculty of Applied Sciences & Engineering (APSE) have approved an Engineering Music Performance Minor, which will allow engineering students to complete a degree in music performance and technology. The program received unanimous approval at the January 2018 meeting of the Faculty of Music Council and is set to start in September 2018.\nThe curriculum touches on the crossover of music and engineering within \u201cacoustics, signal processing (both physiological and technological) and noise control. Students can then apply this knowledge to further studies in music technology, cultural areas, or engineering applications,\u201d according to the proposal memo released on November 8.\nThis interdisciplinary initiative is part of the Faculty of Music\u2019s five-year academic plan, which, since 2016, has aimed to expand the resources, research opportunities, fellowships, and exchanges available for music students and staff. Similar initiatives include joint programs like Music Technology & Digital Media.\nAuditions for a core course \u2014 which will be year-long PMU course \u2014 will begin as early as March 2018. An information session, hosted by U of T Engineering, will occur on Tuesday, February 13. Committed faculty members in attendance will include Professor Willy Wong of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Faculty of Music professors Ryan McClelland and Midori Koga.\nThe minor will consist of three required courses, the core course, titled Applied Performance; TMU130H1 \u2014 Music Theory 1; and ECE446 #1 \u2014 Sensory Communication. A half-credit of 1.0 FCE in electives must relate to technology and music.\nThe minor was created in response to student demand, according to the memo. Engineering students have expressed their interest through clubs like Skule Orchestra, Choir, and Stage Band, as well as by choosing music electives to fulfil their Humanities breadth requirements. \u201cI\u2019m excited that this is happening. Given the extensive role engineering plays in modern music performance and production, I think it\u2019d be a fascinating area to explore,\u201d said Harry Jiang, Vice-President Communications of the Engineering Society (Skule). \u201cAlso, I hope this opens up more access to artistic resources by Engineering Students.\u201d\nThe program\u2019s pilot year enrolment limits are based on audition outcomes that will be revealed by May 2018. An estimated cap is set for eight pianists, four string players, and two chamber groups. Students auditioning can choose between performing classical or jazz, as well as performing solo instrumental or in a chamber music setting. All prospective minor students are required to play at RCM Level 8 and must have background in theory and rudiments \u2014 Rudiments II or equivalent.\nWhen asked about these restrictions, the engineering Skule Music groups wrote in a joint response that \u201cthe performance minor is somewhat exclusive in its requirements and therefore may be inaccessible.\u201d\n\u201cWe would like to see the minor offered to vocalists, instrumentalists in the jazz stream and other orchestra musicians as the program grows,\u201d the groups wrote. They recommended expanding the minor to give \u201cstudents opportunity to learn an instrument or partake in the faculty of music ensembles.\u201d\nMcClelland, who is also Associate Dean Academic and Student Affairs at the Faculty of Music, said that the faculty has a growing interest in developing more program-based collaborations in the future and that \u201chaving students from APSE in music courses will bring new perspectives and areas of knowledge into the classroom, enriching the experience of both students and faculty and opening up possibilities for future collaborations that might extend well beyond students\u2019 time at U of T.\u201d\nSecond-year music major Ricci Ebron is happy about the new minor but worries about the student plan on balancing the workload.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a good opportunity for engineers to explore different areas, however I believe engineers are already super busy with their heavy schedules and would suffer from having to balance time,\u201d said Ebron. \u201cMusic is not just having fun and playing music all day. Underneath all that is a lot of intensive theoretical and historical studies.\u201d\nFurthermore, she is concerned about the stress it will place on the Faculty of Music\u2019s resources, saying that \u201cif they\u2019re integrated into the program that would mean they would have to be included into our ensembles, which are already overpopulated, as well as use our practice spaces which are already extremely limited.\u201d\nAssociated costs for this minor will be covered by the U of T Interdivisional Teaching framework, through which the Faculty of Music will receive a \u201cper student\u201d compensation for each engineering student enrolled in its courses.\nBSA organizes in response to racism in Faculty of Engineering\nTown hall held November 28 after recent incidents of racial harassment\nThe town hall, hosted by the BSA, responded to a number of racist incidents that occured at the Engineering Faculty. STEVEN LEE/THE VARSITY\nThe Black Students\u2019 Association (BSA) organized a town hall on November 28 in response to a recent series of racist incidents in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.\nDozens of students and faculty members gathered at the Sandford Fleming Building to share their experiences with anti-Black discrimination, find ways to eliminate racism on campus, and create a sense of community. U of T\u2019s Black Liberation Collective (BLC) and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) attended and co-organized the event.\nIn September, an international student in her first year of engineering approached the BSA with screenshots of two group chats in which three non-Black students repeatedly used the n-word and sent a picture depicting blackface.\nOne of the group chats consisted mainly of engineering students attending an orientation for incoming international undergrads. The racist remarks were initiated by one of the orientation leaders. The other group chat was a first-year civil engineering group.\nIn response to an email from the BSA, BLC, and NSBE outlining the racist incidents, Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Cristina Amon met with the respondents \u2014 the three students implicated in the anti-Black racism \u2014 to inform them that the incidents had been brought to her attention. Shortly after, an official investigation was initiated.\nThe email was also sent to Vice-Provost Students Sandy Welsh and the Anti-Racism and Cultural Diversity Office.\nAccording to BSA President Anyika Mark, the three investigated students subsequently reached out to several Black students in hopes of finding the student who filed the complaint. Mark said that she is concerned about the safety of the complainant, especially with the recent white supremacist posters on campus.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve literally had to create a safety plan for her,\u201d she said. \u201cShe\u2019s the only Black student in her class so, sometimes we walk with her from classes and tutorials.\u201d\nCriticism, calls to action from the BSA\nThe BSA called for the expulsion of the three respondents, in addition to a $500 fine and 25 hours of community service, which are stipulated as possible sanctions in the Code of Student Conduct. Mark believes that there must be serious consequences in order to set a precedent for anyone who thinks that racial harassment is acceptable.\nOther demands include an independent Black studies department, funding an anti-Black racism campaign on campus, funding NSBE, and a higher recruitment of Black faculty and staff members in the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.\nMark also added that they were told that the investigation may take up to a year. She believes that this process is long, bureaucratic, and intended to tire people out. \u201cIt\u2019s meant to derail conversations about real social change,\u201d she said.\nThe duration of Code of Student Conduct investigations varies on a case-by-case basis, according to U of T\u2019s Director of Media Relations, Althea Blackburn-Evans. More complex cases may last up to 18 months, but resolutions are usually reached much sooner.\n\u201cThe goal is to have a fair process in a timely manner if possible,\u201d said Blackburn-Evans.\nThe BSA contested the language of the Code of Student Conduct, stating that the inclusion of specific terms such as \u201canti-Blackness\u201d and \u201canti-Black racism\u201d was crucial. U of T keeps its definition of discrimination very broad.\nBlackburn-Evans emphasized that, because of the university\u2019s diverse campus, its policies must remain broad in order to include all kinds of discrimination. \u201cWe make these broad references to ensure that our very diverse community is included in those policies.\u201d\nAnother concern raised by Mark was the lack of policies that specifically address cyberbullying. U of T\u2019s Code of Student Conduct does not include any mention of online harassment. Blackburns-Evans, however, stated that the legal terms used in the code may also cover online harassment.\nStudents at the town hall shared their experiences with anti-Blackness, expressed their frustration, and urged the university to support its Black students, faculty, and staff.\n\u201cBlack representation in STEM matters,\u201d said Mikhail Burke, a PhD candidate at U of T. He believes that anti-Blackness in the science community is due to a lack of representation. \u201cWe need to tackle one in order to tackle the other.\u201d\nChimwemwe Alao, Vice-President Equity of the University of Toronto Students\u2019 Union (UTSU) was present at the event, but not in his capacity as a representative of the union.\n\u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of conversation about racism on campus that I experience every single day,\u201d said Alao. He said he was supporting his community and engaging in an \u201cimportant conversation.\u201d As a Black student, he said that racism is a daily experience and includes anything \u201cfrom microaggression and small interactions to very overt incidents of anti-Blackness.\u201d\nDespite no official UTSU presence at the town hall, UTSU President Mathias Memmel said that anti-Blackness is a systemic problem. \u201cThe BSA\u2019s efforts to counter anti-Black racism are important, and we support them.\u201d\nFaculty of Engineering receives $20 million donation\nDonation from the estate of Erwin Hart to fund professorship programs\nSandford Fleming. NATHAN CHAN/THE VARSITY\nhttp://var.st/1kj\nU of T\u2019s Faculty of Engineering has received a substantial donation from an alumnus.\nThe estate of Erwin Edward Hart, who graduated with a degree in civil engineering in 1940 and was the Chief Welding Engineer for the manufacturing company Massey Ferguson Ltd, left a bequest of $20 million to U of T\u2019s Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.\nThe donation will fund the Percy Edward Hart and Erwin Edward Hart Professorships. Percy was Erwin\u2019s father. Seven faculty members in the first ten years of their career will be nominated from among their fellow faculty members to receive financial support from Hart\u2019s fund. The chosen professors will be given $75,000 annually for three years to conduct research.\nAmong other departments, this extends to the Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, the Department of Civil Engineering, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.\nFurthermore, the donation contributes to the engineering portion of the Boundless campaign for the University of Toronto. Currently, $180 million has been raised for the engineers, with an engineering-specific target of $200 million.",

        "title": "Hall of Shame #31: Bolton Wanderers 7-0 Swindon Town | The Washbag",
        "raw_content": "Early on the morning of 8th March 1997 Swindon Town were sitting 12th in Division One and four points off the play-offs. After promotion the year before, Steve McMahon\u2019s side were a jekyll and hyde act, winning the majority of games as hosts, yet 12 of 18 away matches were defeats.\nSo what could possibly go wrong when they travelled to Burden Park to face a top of the table and free-scoring Bolton Wanderers, led by future Town boss Colin Todd..?\nAs it turned out the game was a training match for Bolton with shooting practice throughout. The Town defence of Mark Robinson, Gary Elkins*, Marlon Broomes and Ian Culverhouse just stood still and watched the Wanderers onslaught.\n*Elkins was actually swiftly dismissed after the kick-off following Alan Thompson\u2019s 31st minute opener for Bolton. Elkins was first booked for fouling John McGinlay, then a second offence six minutes later on Nathan Blake secured the red; his second red in five games.\nTo be honest I can\u2019t be bothered to describe all seven goals, just watch them strike the back of the net and leave it to Steve McMahon to sum up the result\u2026\n\u201cIt\u2019s hard to criticise when they are not good enough. Three or four of them are not up to it. You can\u2019t have a go at them. It was men against boys. It\u2019s been like that for much of the season. I\u2019ve just got to get some men in and not boys.\u201d Steve McMahon speaking post match\nWith nine games remaining in the 1996/97 season Town would finish nowhere near the play-offs. Swindon won only once more, secured a goalless draw twice and lost six, scoring only two goals and conceding 17. The slump to finish 19th would highlight the failures of McMahon\u2019s management that would really show themselves from November 1997. Meanwhile, Bolton won the title at a canter with 98 points and 100 goals scored.\nThe result at Burnden Park proved too much for BBC Wiltshire Sound\u2019s match commentator Stuart Mac. He had recently announced he was leaving to travel around the world in a new, and successful, career on the Cruises and the Bolton game was due to be one of his final games.\nStuart just couldn\u2019t stop crying on air as he described the several Bolton goals in his post-match summary to Shaun Hodgetts. These tears ensured Stuart made the national newspapers, making page 3 of the Sun and a phone-in appearance on \u2018The Big Breakfast\u2019 on the following week.\nhttps://fraserdigbyswashbag.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/stuart-mac-tears.mp3\nStuart Mac audio courtesy of BBC Wiltshire\nBolton vs Swindon \u2013 Match lineups\ntagged with BBC Wiltshire, Blog, Bolton Wanderers, Football, Hall of Shame, Stuart Mac, Swindon Town, Writer - Ron Smith\nNever mind the 7-0, that clown Stuart Mac\u2019s tears should be enough to make the hall of shame.

As of October 24th, they have a 5-0 record. Now, many are wondering how can this be happening this early in the season. The main reason is the Raptors\u2019 huge trade in the off-season, that many believed would take time to create chemistry. The Toronto Raptors negotiated with the San Antonio Spurs a trade that was not expected, but has benefited both teams since. The Raptors traded DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poltl and a protected first round pick for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green from the Spurs. The Raptors have beat the Cavaliers, the Celtics, the Wizards, the Hornets, and the Timberwolves thus far. Comparing this new team to last season\u2019s team \u2013 they\u2019re better offensively, as well as defensively. They\u2019re more efficient than last year\u2019s team and look and play more confident, like a title contending team (although Kawhi admits that it\u2019s too early in the season to make such a statement). Although the season just started, but everyone will be watching to see if they will still have the repeat performances throughout the rest of the season.",

        "title": "We Ain\u2019t Seen Nothing Yet \u2013 Time and Material",
        "raw_content": "Peter Coates\tUncategorized\t February 2, 2019 February 4, 2019 9 Minutes\nAllow Four to Eight Weeks For Delivery\nSince the 1980\u2019s, computers, networks, and cellular technology have revolutionized the manufacturing and distribution of goods with robotics, enhanced design and manufacturing capabilities such CAD and CAM, fancy cargo handling equipment and procedures, and awesome improvements in the capability of machine tools, but possibly the most significant efficiencies have been in the humble area of scheduling.\nThis scheduling revolution first became famous as just-in-time manufacturing, known in many versions as JIT, Toyota Production System (TPS), Kaban, Demand Flow Manufacturing (DFM), and a host of other names for aspects of a general movement that enhances efficiency by using computer and communications techniques to eliminate waste, error, and the need to commit large amounts of money to banking up inventories of products.\nIn JIT manufacturing, careful orchestration of the arrival of parts and materials from suppliers on the input side of the plant, and reducing the need for storage at the output side by tuning production to demand from customers greatly reduced plant size and the number of people required. Enhanced visibility of the manufacturing process facilitated by computers is used to catch problems before they happen, thereby eliminating delays that would otherwise ripple downstream. Everything happens \u201cjust in time\u201d and virtually every aspect of the methodology takes advantage of computers, data, and communications.\nYou could fill a library with the details of JIT, but it\u2019s a spirit that\u2019s everywhere today, and has spread far beyond manufacturing. Logistics simultaneously underwent much the same revolution, taking advantage data processing, networks. RFID chips, and dirt-cheap communications to track shipments at a level of detail that was previously impossible for everything from bulk materials shipment right down to FedEx and UPS.\nIf you\u2019re over fifty, you certainly remember the phrase \u201callow four to eight weeks for delivery.\u201d Today, it\u2019s common to order something online and have it show up the next day. It\u2019s much the same with industry, except that the supplier is paying strict attention to the consumers, algorithmically predicting what demand will be, and when, in order to tune the manufacturing process exactly to the anticipated demand.\nFifty years ago, manufacturers operated in the dark, as did their suppliers and their customers, and in consequence, warehouses were everywhere because they were needed to hold the excess supply necessary to ensure availability at every step of the supply chain.\nToday, one rarely sees a warehouse. Walmart doesn\u2019t have a giant store room in the back of the store; deliveries from as far away as China are coordinated so that container-loads of goods come off the ship in Los Angeles and onto a truck from which they are ultimately unloaded directly onto Walmart\u2019s predictably emptying shelves. The Chinese supplier likewise anticipated needs of consumers in the US and Europe and scheduled production in such a way that goods could go from production line to shipping container thence to a container carrier the presence of which in port was assured by a shipping company in close coordination with hundreds of companies planning shipments to LA.\nFord Motor company doesn\u2019t keep huge warehouses filled with the four or five thousand different parts from all over the world that go into a modern vehicle. That\u2019s what they once did because a shortage of any one of those thousands of parts could bring the entire production line to a halt but today, container-loads of parts arrive continually within hours of need, with container-loads of parts often coming off the trucks directly onto the plant floor.\nIt\u2019s the same in nearly every industry, even in your grocery store, which typically buffers only about a day-and-a-half supply of heavily used goods. Here in the north-east, even the disruption of a snowstorm causes empty shelves within hours.\nIt\u2019s an incredibly complex world-wide process, but the bottom line is that the expense of intermediate storage all along the supply chain\u2014e.g. warehouses\u2014 has all but vanished. Today, the typical \u201cwarehouse\u201d is virtual. Clever scheduling of goods in motion on ships and rolling down the highway has obviated much of our need for physical warehouses, the workers to run them, the need to keep capital tied up for months in the form of goods idling in storage, and the thousand kinds of wastage and spoilage that goods sitting in a warehouse are heir to. More subtly, the JIT spirit bakes a default efficiency in the entire process, as the ability to deliver goods on time with no excuses is critical for every participant.\nUnfairness about how the dividend is shared in society notwithstanding, this has created a dramatic increase in overall productivity, relentlessly driving down the cost of producing and distributing goods.\nThat\u2019s The Good Part\nSeen close-up or over a small to medium time-scale, this technological revolution has been a miracle, but a more pessimistic view of what we\u2019ve been doing can be summed up as \u201coptimizing for a sunny day.\u201d What\u2019s alarming that it\u2019s happened so quickly that the developed world hasn\u2019t ever had a real rainy day yet.\nConsider Germany, which in the 1940\u2019s was one of the most technologically advanced nations on earth (as it remains today.) Starting in 1943, the Allies bombed Germany relentlessly, raining millions of tons of high-explosive bombs on factories, roads, ports, and rail-lines. Now that\u2019s what I call a rainy day but incredibly, the mayhem went on for two years before seriously impairing the German\u2019s ability to manufacture weapons.\nWith that level of interruption, JIT manufacturing would have collapsed like a house of cards but in the 1940\u2019s, materials and parts were stored up and down the line in warehouses. A bombed railroad bridge or a few five-hundred-pound bombs through the roof of manufacturer\u2019s suppliers was a nuisance, to be sure, but with months of parts banked up in warehouses, it was usually an inconvenience rather than a disaster.\nSo here\u2019s what\u2019s interesting about Brexit. Traffic within the EU travels freely across borders without inspections. Between Britain and the continent, much freight travels by roll-on/roll-off transport, i.e., the entire truck travels by ship from France to Dover or other ports just as it would drive through the Chunnel. The rest of the freight travels mostly by containers that are lifted on and off trucks that line up to deliver or receive them as fast as the cranes can do the transfer. Without free-passage across international borders, the goods have to be inspected by customs services at both ends and as The Economist points out, even two minutes of additional time for each container snowballs into 47 kilometer traffic backups for ports in both Britain and the EU. Needless to say, nobody is guaranteeing the delays will be limited to two minutes.\nEconomic downturns, stock-market crashes, and the like are big events but we understand the dynamics of these things pretty well. We may not know why consumer confidence is down, but when it goes down, you know less will be bought, factories will curtail production, etc. We know why stock markets crash, and what the consequences are. The effects tend to be diverse, but predictable.\nWhat\u2019s different about Brexit is the unprecedented diversity of shocks the British economy will be subjected to all at once. When many different things go wrong at the same time, nobody really knows at what point the effects will cease add up linearly and start to follow some less predictable and undoubtedly highly unfavorable curve. Supply chains disrupted by epic traffic slowdowns are just the beginning. Agricultural products moving in both directions will be crippled, driving up food prices and killing jobs at the same time. There will be uncertainties in the legal/economic basis for coordinating electrical grids, shortages of all kinds of goods, mismatches between available worker skills and economic need, breakdown of the ability to detect crime and catch criminals, drug and food shortages, and a hundred other problems. Moreover, when it begins to snowball, the countless economic mechanisms of risk-mitigation must deal with the increasing uncertainty, driving up the cost of every dollar of business. In some cases, legal uncertainties may entirely block certain strategies.\nIt\u2019s not as if Britain can simply revert to the old way of doing things. The infrastructure of business has changed greatly since Britain joined the EU. The warehouses have been torn down or repurposed. Today, there is only a small percentage of surplus warehouse space in Britain (or anywhere, really) so there literally is no way to store things the way we used to and even if you could, it would hardly be competitive\u2014efficiency is why these things went away in the first place.\nWith factory shutdowns, epic traffic jams, soaring prices, electrical brown-outs, and the like, nobody knows at what point the childish British public will lose patience and begin to strike and riot, multiplying the malign effects of Brexit proper. Worse, instead of crawling back to the EU repentant and contrite, they could opt to double down and elect some Trump-like ignoramus who convinces them that not Brexit but the Jews or the Illuminati, or some other fantasy villain caused the mess, and only he can fix it by bringing back the gold standard or blaming everything on Argentina and going back for Falklands II, or some other wacky fantasy. It\u2019s not that far fetched\u2014the mob has already demonstrated their capacity for foolishness by voting for Brexit in the first place, and seems to be standing fast even as the magnitude of the looming disaster becomes more clear.\nClearly, as some point, you can monkey things up so badly that the problems start to cascade and the entire system bogs down like a mastodon in the tar pit, but where is that point?\nThere\u2019s this feeling abroad that the economists must understand it and if it were as dangerous as all that, surely there\u2019d be a hue and cry, but I don\u2019t believe they do know, or even think about it much. If they do, it would be almost unique in history. We generally only understand these things in hindsight after history rubs our noses in it.\nThere were countless smart people around in August 1914 but only a handful of people foresaw the magnitude of the looming war even though the facts of the situation were well known. Most thought it would be over by Christmas (it was, but by Christmas of 1918, not of 1914.) Most analysts got the implications of war backwards. It was widely believed that war between interdependent economies the size of Germany, France, and Britain would be economically impractical and therefore end quickly. What actually happened was that the economies were so large and robust that it was impossible to knock them out a few battles; modern nations would and could fight for years until they were utterly exhausted. Likewise, few foresaw in 1929 that the economy would continue to decline for four of five years before we found the bottom of the ensuing Great Depression. There had never been economies so large before.\nMore recently, we have plenty of reason today to see the unprecedented magnitude of the looming climate disasters but most analysts dwell on minor effects such as the economic effects of flooding coastal areas. Bad as these things are, they will be as nothing compared to the wars that will result from dislocated populations, competition for water, and so on. Think Syria, but for billions of people instead of for a few million. Yet we do almost nothing because in our heart of hearts, we don\u2019t really believe in anything that hasn\u2019t happened before.\nSo if March 29 rolls around without an exit deal, and Britain simply walks away from the EU, things could get interesting indeed. We may need a new word for a phenomenon that is a sort of multi-dimensional depression in which collapse and the failure to recover are caused by a systemic breakdown of the ability to participate in a trans-national economy based on just-in-time. Brexit may or may not be enough, but many similar phenomena could cause a snowballing disaster. Earthquakes and tsunamis in the right spot could do it, as could terrorist attacks on power grids or even sunspots. We simply don\u2019t know what kinds of shocks could do it. Meanwhile, it\u2019s not inconceivable that Brexit could cause an out-of-proportion economic collapse that could serve as a useful benchmark in understanding this new species of economic calamity. In the worst case, Britain could find itself in a situation much like the lean years of post-War rationing that went on well into the 1950\u2019s, a decade after the end of World War II.\nPrevious Post Christianity and Ducks",

        "raw_content": "Megaslaughter \u200e\u2013Calls From The Beyond lp [original]\nMega rare original 1991 press on Thrash records\nMegaslaughter, formed in Gothenburg in 1987, was initially known as Dinloyd. Their first demo under the new name \u2018Death Remains\u2019 surfaced in 1989 and garnered the band a deal with French label Thrash Records who released the hard-to-find album \u2018Calls From Beyond\u2019. That nowadays is a very sought after gem from the early Swedish death metal underground. The music found on this album is dark, mostly mid-paced death metal with the occasional thrash influences. But what makes this album different from other Swedish releases of the time is that these guys don\u2019t always sound typically Swedish (i.e. trying to copy Entombed and Carnage). Yes, the guitars are still very down-tuned and there are parts of certain songs that will make you wonder if Matti Karki somehow had his hands involved in this; but for every typical Swedish riff on this album there are 3 or more riffs that have a very American death metal sound to them. You can hear lots of influences from Autopsy, Obituary and Baphomet in some of the slower, chunky riffs that are accompanied by a rolling double bass beat. The vocals are somewhere between a deep growl and high shriek and produced with a good amount of reverb. \u2018Calls From The Beyond\u2019 is a solid piece of Swedish death metal that was sadly drowned in a sea of other similar releases at the time. The band split in 1992, with vocalist Emil Lilic resurfacing in 1997 fronting Murder Corporation and drummer Patrik Raffling surfaced in the early years of Hammerfall. For those of you who worship the early Swedish death metal bands this is definitely an essential purchase.\n1. Blood Runs Free\n4. Shreds Left Behind\n5. Death Remains\n6. Into The Decay\n7.

        "title": "Immigration Case Backlog Continues To Grow in FY 2011",
        "raw_content": "Figure 1. Immigration Court Backlog\nThe number of cases awaiting resolution before the Immigration Courts reached a new all-time high of 275,316 by the beginning of May 2011, according to very timely government enforcement data obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC). The case backlog has continued to grow \u2014 up 2.8 percent \u2014 since TRAC's previous report four months ago, and 48 percent higher than levels at the end of FY 2008 (see Figure 1).\nWait times have increased since our previous report. The average time these pending cases have been waiting in the Immigration Courts of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) is now 482 days, compared with 467 days at the end of last year.\nJudge Hiring and Backlog Reduction\nThe continuing rise in the court backlog occurred despite the record-breaking pace of hiring that took place during the past 12 months, with 44 new Immigration Judges added to the bench. (For numbers, see hiring by court table.)\nHiring by Court\nMany of the judge vacancies finally filled had been open since at least 2006. See earlier TRAC report.\nHowever, this long overdue hiring initiative may be at an end. In testimony May 18, 2011 before the Senate Judiciary Committee, newly appointed EOIR Director, Juan P. Osuna, noted that recruitment efforts had been \"cut short due to budgetary restrictions on hiring.\" With the freeze, Osuna predicted IJ ranks would fall. Indeed, the Director stated they anticipate the loss of \"approximately 10 immigration judges per year\" through \"[n]ormal attrition.\"\nThere are implications of the hiring freeze for case backlogs as well. With fewer judges, unless the pace of new court filings slackens, pending case backlogs appear likely to continue to rise, accompanied by ever longer wait times.\nDetails on the Current Court Backlog\nFull details \u2014 by state, nationality, Immigration Court and hearing locations \u2014 can be viewed in TRAC's backlog application, now updated with data through May 4th, 2011.\nFigure 2. TRAC's Immigration Court Caseload Tool. (click to use the tool)\nSee also TRAC's previous backlog report and listing of earlier TRAC report reports in this series beginning in 2008 examining the volume of cases, wait times, as well as the number of immigration judges available.\nWait Times by State\nWait times continue to be longest in California with 660 days, up from 639 days four months ago. Massachusetts average wait times increased from 615 to 617 days over the same time period. Utah moved up to third place with an average time of 537 days cases have been waiting in the Salt Lake City Immigration Court \u2014 up from 472 at the time of our previous report.\nWait Times by Nationality\nAmong nationalities, and limiting comparisons to the 50 countries with the most individuals in queue, Armenians with cases pending before the Immigration Courts currently still have the longest wait time of 896 days \u2014 almost twice the national average of 482 days. Other nationalities within the top five in terms of the length their cases had been pending were Indonesia (832), Albania (667), Iran (640) and Pakistan (630).\nHighest Growth Rates in Pending Cases\nAmong individual Immigration Courts, and considering only those with at least 1,000 pending cases, the court with the fastest buildup during FY 2011 was the Immigration Court in San Antonio, Texas, where pending cases jumped by 26 percent. The court in New Orleans ranked second, with a growth spurt of 20 percent during this year. Phoenix, Arizona (up 19 percent), Oakdale, Louisiana (up 19 percent), and Houston, Texas (up 18 percent) made up the remaining top five locations experiencing the highest growth rates in case backlogs. Portland, Oregon again just missed out being included in these ranks with a growth rate of 17 percent.\nCourts With Declining Case Backlogs\nSome courts, however, saw a decline in their number of pending cases during the first seven months of FY 2011. Again considering only courts with at least 1,000 pending cases, the court with the sharpest decline was in Lumpkin, Georgia. That court saw its backlog reduced by 63 percent. This was followed by the New York Detention Center court where the pending caseload dropped by 40 percent during this fiscal year. The Houston Detained court in Texas dropped by 25 percent, Guaynabo, Puerto Rico by 24 percent, and Salt Lake City, Utah by 10 percent.",

        "raw_content": "UA Camera to Snap Final Pics for Saturn Mission Before Crashing into the Planet\nThe spectrometer aboard Cassini has provided clues to the processes at work around Saturn. by Sara Hammond TWEET SHARE\nThis false-color composite image, constructed from data obtained by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, shows the glow of auroras streaking out about 600 miles from the cloud tops of Saturn's south polar region. The image was taken by the University of Arizona-led Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer. (PHOTO: NASA, JPL, ASI, University of Arizona, University of Leicester)\nWhen NASA\u2019s Cassini spacecraft takes its fatal dive into Saturn, Sept. 15, a University of Arizona scientist\u2019s instrument will be the last to provide images of the ringed planet.\nPlanetary science and astronomy professor Robert Brown was at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory before the Cassini mission was proposed in the 1980s. The instrument he designed, built and operates is the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer, called by its acronym, VIMS. It is a collaboration between U.S. and European space agencies.\nBrown said among VIMS\u2019 many accomplishments was taking the first measurement of a glint of light off an extraterrestrial sea, the glassy liquid methane and ethane surface of the moon Titan.\n\u201cFrom my perspective, it was one of the most interesting and awesome images to come out of the mission, and it gives you a real strong sense of just how bizarre and how beautiful the solar system is outside of our tiny little environment here,\u201d Brown said.\nVIEW LARGER Sunlight glints off a lake on Titan, a moon of Saturn, in this photo taken by VIMS in 2009. It confirmed the presence of liquid in the moon's northern hemisphere. (PHOTO: NASA, JPL, University of Arizona, DLR)\nBrown called VIMS the Swiss Army knife of the spacecraft because of its versatility throughout the 13-year Cassini mission. It\u2019s been taking pictures in wavelengths well beyond what the human eye can see.\nBrown\u2019s instrument provided clues to chemical and surface compositions, atmospheres and physical processes that modified the surfaces of Saturn and its moons.\nAnd it will work up until the very end, sending back to Earth the final images before the spacecraft crashes into the planet.\nBrown, his VIMS team and other Cassini mission members will be at JPL in the early hours of Sept. 15 to witness the end of the lengthy and productive mission.\n\u201cThe impact site on Saturn is going to be on the dark side, and because we can see in the dark, we\u2019re going the take the final images of the impact site. And then we will go up in smoke with the rest of the spacecraft a few hours later,\u201d Brown said.\nCassini launched in 1997 with a four-year primary mission once it reached the planet in 2004. The space agency extended the science mission to continue to study Saturn and its moons.\nIt will crash into the planet so Saturn\u2019s moons, future targets for exploration, will not be contaminated by the wreckage.\nMORE: Arizona Science Desk, News, Planetary Science, Science, Space Science, University of Arizona\nSouthern Arizona 2017 Science Highlights Book Chronicles History of Planetary Science in Tucson UA Study: Bigger Dogs Are Better Thinkers",

Rough Cut (no reporter narration).\nROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) U.S. President Donald Trump suffered a legal blow on Thursday when a federal appeals court refused to reinstate a temporary travel ban he had ordered on people from seven Muslim-majority countries. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Trump administration failed to offer any evidence that national security concerns justified immediately restoring the ban, which was launched late last month. Shortly after the court issued its 29-page ruling, Trump tweeted: \"SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!\" He told reporters his administration ultimately would win the case and dismissed the ruling as \"political.\" The court was only ruling on the narrow issue of whether or not to lift an emergency halt to Trump's order put in place by a lower court while that case is ongoing. The judges said more briefing would be needed on the merits of the arguments on both sides. The Justice Department, which spoke for the government at oral argument on Tuesday, said it was reviewing the decision and considering its options.",

His third consecutive presidential term is scheduled to end in 2021.\n\u201cThe end of all violence is a basic necessity. Nicaraguans don\u2019t need any more violence,\u201d Foreign Minister Denis Moncada, who is the head government negotiator, told reporters.\nBoth sides will resume talks on Saturday to address the Church\u2019s proposal to anticipate general elections and implement political reforms.\nThe protests that began on April 18 have also left hundreds injured and ground the economy of the impoverished Central American nation to a halt.\nMost of the dead were anti-government protesters who demanded the resignation of Ortega, a former socialist guerrilla and Cold War-era U.S. foe, blaming his administration for the violent crackdown on demonstrations.\nCivic leaders said they were satisfied with the agreement that included setting up a international task force to investigate the killings during the protests.\nThey also agreed for the gradual removal, under the supervision of international organizations, of makeshift roadblocks that have snarled traffic and curbed trade.\n\u201cThis is a positive agreement that makes us think that violence will not escalate,\u201d said Juan Sebastian Chamorro, a leader with the Civil Alliance for Justice, the umbrella organization of civic groups.\n\u201cIf conditions are not met, then peaceful civic protests will resume.\u201d\nThe talks, which resumed earlier on Friday after being suspended, were marred by fresh violence in the capital, Managua, and disagreements between negotiators over the international inquiry.\nA Reuters witness heard gunfire and saw police advancing with assault rifles in a neighborhood near a university campus.\nUniversity students have led demonstrations against what they say is Ortega\u2019s growing authoritarian rule.\nThe Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights, which has monitored the violence, said 170 people were killed in the eight weeks of clashes between pro-Ortega forces armed with assault rifles and pistols and protesters armed with rocks, slings and homemade mortars.\nOrtega\u2019s surprise decision in April to slash pension benefits to cover a widening social security gap triggered the deadly confrontations, the bloodiest since the end of the civil war.\nOrtega quickly abandoned the planned spending cuts. But the subsequent violent crackdown on protesters fuelled nationwide demonstrations against Ortega, who has been in power for more than a decade.\nReporting by Alonso Soto; Editing by Anthony Esposito and Clarence Fernandez",

        "raw_content": "China's tariffs on U.S. oil would disrupt $1 billion monthly business\nSINGAPORE (Reuters) - China\u2019s threat to impose duties on U.S. oil imports will hit a business that has soared in the last two years, and which is now worth almost $1 billion per month.\nIn an escalating spat over the United States\u2019 trade deficit with most of its major trading partners, including China, U.S. President Donald Trump said last week he was pushing ahead with hefty tariffs on $50 billion of Chinese imports, starting on July 6.\nChina said Friday it would retaliate by slapping duties on several American commodities, including oil.\nInvestors expect the spat to come at the expense of U.S. oil firms, pulling down the share prices of ExxonMobil and Chevron by 1 to 2 percent since Friday, while U.S. crude oil prices fell by around 5 percent.\n\u201cThis escalation of the trade war is dangerous for oil prices,\u201d said Stephen Innes, head of trading for Asia/Pacific at futures brokerage OANDA in Singapore.\n\u201cLet\u2019s hope cooler heads prevail, but I\u2019m not overly optimistic,\u201d he added.\nTo view a graphic on Russia vs Saudi vs U.S. oil production, click: reut.rs/2JAw1dG\nThe dispute between the United States and China comes at a pivotal time for oil markets.\nFollowing a year and a half of voluntary supply cuts led by the Middle East-dominated Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), as well as the non-OPEC producer Russia, oil markets have tightened, pushing up prices.\nThe potential drop-off in American oil exports to China would benefit other producers, especially from OPEC and Russia.\nThe OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia and Russia indicated on Friday they would loosen their supply restraint and were starting to raise exports.\nA cut in Chinese purchases of U.S. oil may also benefit Iran\u2019s sales, which Washington is trying to curb with new sanctions it announced in May.\n\u201cThe Chinese may just replace some of the American oil with Iranian crude,\u201d said John Driscoll, director of consultancy JTD Energy Services.\n\u201cChina isn\u2019t intimidated by the threat of U.S. sanctions. They haven\u2019t been in the past. So in this diplomatic spat they might just replace U.S. crude with Iranian oil. That would obviously infuriate Trump,\u201d he said.\nTo view a graphic on U.S. crude oil exports to China, click: reut.rs/2ymEr7m\nChina\u2019s aggressive riposte to Trump took some in the industry by surprise.\nU.S. crude exports to China have been rising sharply, thanks to a production surge in the past three years that was a welcome alternative to make up for the cut in supplies from OPEC and Russia.\n\u201cWe\u2019re caught by surprise that crude oil is on the list,\u201d said an official with a Chinese state oil major, asking not to be named as he was not authorized to speak to media.\n\u201cWe were actually preparing to raise imports according to an earlier government line,\u201d he added, referring to a Beijing policy enacted earlier this year to help reduce the U.S. trade deficit with China.\nU.S. oil exports, which have been surging thanks to a sharp increase in production in the past three years, were seen as a viable alternative to make up for the cut in supplies from OPEC and Russia.\nShipping data in Thomson Reuters Eikon shows that U.S. crude oil shipments to China have soared in value recently, jumping from just $100 million per month in early 2017 to almost $1 billion per month currently.\nThe threatened tariff would make U.S. oil more expensive versus supplies from other regions, including the Middle East and Russia, and likely disrupt a business that has soared recently.\n\u201cWith Trump\u2019s politics, we\u2019re in a world of re-aligning alliances. China will not just swallow U.S. tariffs,\u201d said Driscoll.\nFILE PHOTO: A booth of U.S. major ExxonMobil is seen at the China (Dongying) International Petrochemical Trade Exhibition in Dongying, Shandong province, China May 29, 2018.

I would like you to please join me in remembering the casualties from Saturday\u2019s attack in Kabul, as well as in memory of all the civilians killed in the conflict in Afghanistan.\n[Minute silence]\nI now have the pleasure to introduce Tadamichi Yamamoto, who is the United Nations Secretary-General for Afghanistan, as well as being the head of UNAMA. He is joined by Danielle Bell who is UNAMA\u2019s Director of Human Rights.\nTadamichi Yamamoto: Welcome and thank you for attending this press conference convened by UNAMA.\nThe 2016 Midyear Report on Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict is produced by UNAMA with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva. The High Commissioner Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein and I have both endorsed the report and the findings contained in it.\nThe terrible toll the conflict is taking on Afghan civilians was underscored again with the bombing of a peaceful protest in Kabul two days ago. At least 73 civilians were killed and 293 injured in a horrific \u2013 and indefensible \u2013 act of violence.\nThe findings in this report cover the first six months of the year. The Director of UNAMA\u2019s Human Rights Unit will get into greater detail, but overall it shows similar rates of casualties to 2015.\nThese findings are based on a rigorous methodology that has been recognized as best practice throughout the world in the field of casualty recording. Both myself, as Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and the High Commissioner for Human Rights are satisfied that the findings adhere to that methodology and can be relied upon.\nWe also note that the findings and trends are consistent with the monitoring carried out by the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission.\nUNAMA engages in on-going dialogue with all parties to the conflict and the report has been shared in advance. This includes the Government of Afghanistan, the international military forces and the Taliban.\nWe share our report, to ensure its accuracy and to include different perspectives. But above all, our primary objective is to promote change.\nAs you will see in the report, in the first half of the year UNAMA documented a level of civilian casualties comparable to the record-high recorded in 2015.\nIt shows, broken down by tactic, how parties to the conflict are causing civilian casualties. Areas of progress that parties to the conflict have undertaken to protect civilians are also noted.\nMuch more, however, remains to be done. All fighters must abide by international humanitarian and human rights law to reduce the impact of the conflict on the civilian population.\nUltimately, the burden is on the fighting parties to change practices and save lives. This report should be viewed by them as an essential tool to make that goal a reality.\nAll the parties to the conflict have already publicly stated the need to avoid civilian casualties. However, parties need to get beyond rhetoric to real changes on the ground.\nWe note that the Government of Afghanistan has been drafting a national policy on the protection of civilians. This is an important step and must be backed by sustained commitment of the Government and security forces.\nWe also note that Taliban have taken some steps to report on civilian casualties, including those killed and injured by their own activities. The United Nations encourages Taliban to make its policies public and to ensure they comply with international humanitarian law in all respects.\nEven in the absence of a peace, all parties have it within their power to reduce the number of civilian casualties.\nInternational humanitarian law and international human rights law are meant to prevent the reckless and indiscriminate killing of civilians. I remind parties to the conflict that accountability for crimes, violations, and abuses may take time, but perpetrators will be held to account.\nThis is not about cold statistics. Every number is a person with a history and a family. Every number represents the impact of a mortar on homes, an improvised explosive device shattering a bus journey, a suicide bomb in a market place or a civilian otherwise caught in the conflict.\nEvery number is multiplied when one considers the grief of communities, the families that have to make do without a breadwinner, the parents who mourn lost children.\nThese are the real and long-term consequences of the acts described in this report.\nThe report includes the voices of Afghans who have been directly impacted by violence. It also highlights protection concerns of the most vulnerable, in particular women and children. What is reflected is the daily horror and uncertainty faced by the citizens of Afghanistan.\nI now request Danielle Bell, UNAMA\u2019s Human Rights Director, to brief you on the key findings of the report.\nDanielle Bell: Thank you very much, SRSG, and good morning ladies and gentlemen.\nIn the first six months of 2016, UNAMA documented 5,166 civilian casualties, or 1,601 civilian deaths and 3,565 injured, representing a four per cent increase in overall casualties compared to the same period in 2015. These figures, once again, represents the highest number of civilian casualties recorded by UNAMA in its Midyear report.\nThe four per cent increase in civilian casualties resulted mainly from ground fighting involving all parties to the conflict, and an increase in civilian casualties caused by complex and suicide attacks carried out by Anti-Government Elements.\nGround engagements between parties to the conflict caused almost 2,000 civilian casualties, a 23 per cent increase from last year.\nGround fighting continued to cause the highest number of civilian casualties, followed by suicide and complex attacks and then IEDs.\nAnti-Government Elements continued to cause the majority of harm to civilians, causing 3,082 deaths and injuries, or 60 per cent of civilian casualties. This represents an 11 per cent decrease from last year. The decrease resulted mainly from fewer civilian casualties from targeted killings and IEDs.\nAnti-Government Elements, including the Taliban, nonetheless continued to carry out attacks against persons and locations that are clearly civilian under international humanitarian law. This included the deliberate killings of community leaders, civilian Government officials, media workers and judicial authorities.\nFurthermore, despite this decrease, the mission recorded increases in civilian casualties from complex and suicide attacks, a trend that continues as evidenced by the tragic attack in Kabul two days ago.\nIn addition, the reduction in casualties attributed to Anti-Government Elements must be considered in light of an increase in casualties jointly attributed to both Pro-Government and Anti-Government forces, primarily during ground fighting.\nI now turn to Pro-Government Forces. While Anti-Government Elements continued to cause the majority of civilian casualties, the report documents a 47 per cent increase in civilian casualties resulting from Pro-Government Forces, causing 1,180 civilian casualties, or 23 per cent of total civilian casualties.\nConsistent with last year\u2019s trends, the rise in civilian casualties attributed to Pro-Government Forces resulted mainly from the use of indirect weapons in civilian areas, coupled with increased civilian casualties from aerial operations carried out by Afghan security forces.\nAs mentioned, the report also welcomes the development of a national policy to mitigate civilian harm, and urges the Government to finalize and implement the policy and accompanying action plan as a matter of urgency.\nThe report highlights protection concerns of the most vulnerable, in particular women and children.\nAlthough women casualties decreased by 11 per cent, one in ten civilian casualties was a woman.\nChild casualties increased by 18 per cent. Almost one out of every three casualties from this conflict is a child.\nSo far in 2016, children were killed and injured primarily from ground fighting and then explosive remnants of war.\nIn addition to loss of life and injury, the report documents continued human rights abuses by conflict actors. For example, the rights of women. The report documents six instances of Anti-Government Elements imposing parallel justice mechanism punishments, including executions and lashings, to punish women for so-called moral crimes.\nIn 2016, women and girls also continued to suffer restrictions on access to education and healthcare, as well as limitations on freedom of movement.\nA worrying trend that impacts all of us in the room today, the report highlights trends on the right to freedom of expression, including continued threats to the media and it also documents the horrific attack on the Tolo TV shuttle bus on 20 January.\nConcerns about the right to life are also noted throughout the report, including the deliberate targeting of civilians by conflict actors, and a lack of accountability for human rights violations and abuses.\nIn addition to the devastating toll in deaths and injuries, the report includes the voices of Afghans to demonstrate the appalling human cost of the conflict in Afghanistan. Parents who have lost their children, children who have lost their limbs, homes destroyed and lost livelihoods.\nThere has been immense suffering in the first six months of the year.\nIn conclusion, although this report takes note of some measures being taken to mitigate harm, more must be done to enable real improvements in civilian protection and greater respect for the human rights of all Afghans.\nQuestion: Thank you. From Kabul News, I\u2019d like to know UNAMA\u2019s view on the danger that Daesh poses to the Afghan people, especially after this group claimed responsibility for the recent attacks against the peaceful demonstrators. You also mentioned in your report and you attributed some percentage of the overall civilian casualties to the international security forces. Can you tell us exactly what are the numbers attributed to the international military forces?\nTadamichi Yamamoto: Thank you very much for the question. I will take the question on Daesh and ask Danielle to respond to the number of casualties caused by the international forces. Now on Daesh, regarding the incident two days ago, as you know they claimed responsibility. The investigation is still under way and we should wait until the investigation comes out with a finding. But generally speaking, we are very much concerned about the possibility of Daesh causing harm to the people of Afghanistan and to this country and to this region.\nWe have been watching, monitoring the activities of Daesh carefully in cooperation with the Afghan Government and also with the international community, including Resolute Support. We of course know, and I\u2019m sure that you also know, that Daesh has tried to have a presence in many provinces in Afghanistan for some time. But the philosophy or the values of Daesh seem not to be accepted by the Afghan people. The Afghan people do not welcome them and with the cooperative work of the government, the international forces and -- we also know that they fought with the Taliban -- they have a very limited presence in Afghanistan as far as we know in the eastern provinces.\nBut even then, they have a foothold and we have been watching this extremely carefully, and any move to do with Daesh we have always paid serious attention to. There is a potential, but so far, the Afghan people have proven that they will not accept Daesh as a force to be welcomed in this country. In fact, the Afghan people have resisted their presence.\nWe would certainly hope that together with the cooperation of the international community and the Afghan Government that this strength will continue. UNAMA will naturally monitor, with vigilance, the strength of Daesh, but with regard to the incident two days ago, I think we should really wait for the outcome of the official investigation. Thank you.\nDanielle Bell: As the SRSG said, I could point you to the mid-year report. There\u2019s a section on civilian harm resulting from Daesh activities in the report. In the first six months of the year, UNAMA documented 122 civilian casualties attributed to ISIL/Daesh and this includes the June 10 remote-controlled IED in the Hesarak Mosque in Nangarhar. As the SRSG said, Daesh does not enjoy a foothold in or any support from Afghans. ANSF, or Afghan Security Forces, have well-demonstrated a capacity to contain their influence.\nRegarding international military, in the first six months of the year, international military forces were responsible for approximately one per cent of civilian casualties, mainly from airstrikes, and the numbers are detailed in the report. Thank you.\nQuestion: Thank you, this is Kawoon from the BBC. As you stated, the civilian casualties in Afghanistan had increased during past years. I\u2019m wanting to know that despite your reports and your suggestions to all parties, do you think the peace efforts by Afghan Government has almost failed and it didn\u2019t help a decrease of civilian casualties, do you think it\u2019s time to take steps by different parties in Afghanistan? If you have any further suggestions, I want to hear. And also you said that you have shared the report with all parties. Did you share the report with Daesh in Afghanistan? Thank you.\nTadamichi Yamamoto: Thanks for the question. The peace efforts are very important, as you point out. It has been the principle policy of the Afghan Government to try to realize peace through negotiation and we have supported it and the international community has supported it. Now, what we have to understand is that the peace process is a very complex process, and it will take time for the peace process to take root. There have been many attempts. We have seen some progress.\nIt has not come to the real fruition of having a dialogue between the two parties yet. But, for instance, the recent efforts of the four parties in the quadrilateral group, and the involvement of Pakistan in this process. We know that the involvement of Pakistan in the process is extremely important. And you have seen from the statement of Pakistan that it is now very much trying to work with the Afghan Government in the peace process and we welcome this. But of course, more efforts have to be made. We believe that the peace process is something that will take some more time and we should not be reacting to the ups and downs immediately -- the ups and downs of each and every step, but the trend and the desire of the countries in this region and the people is clear, that they want peace through negotiations.\nWe would, as UNAMA, also like to help in this process of making sure that this peace process will begin by reflecting the desire of the people and the people of the region. So, the fact that the peace process is not immediately moving should not discourage you. The important thing is that people desire peace and that includes the countries in the region, and that efforts are made by all these countries and people to realize this peace.\nThere has to be a lot of consultations, negotiations, which have to take place before it really moves ahead. But I feel that there is potential for this peace process to go through and we know, for a fact, that the Government is making a lot of effort. We know for a fact that the Government is talking to countries in the region for assistance and cooperation. And we know for a fact that these countries are also interested to see progress in the peace process. So let us see where we go.\nUNAMA will play its part, as necessary, to help the process. We all know that it\u2019s not easy, but we also know that negotiated peace is the only solution to bringing lasting peace to this country and we have to all make efforts. I firmly believe that there is a good potential for this to take place.\nDanielle Bell: Also you had asked about why we keep doing this report if the numbers are going up. The role of the United Nations is to provide a normative framework for human rights and civilian protection. We do the monitoring, the documentation of the impact of the conflict on civilians. We continue to engage with all parties to the conflict on areas to reduce harm. So essentially we use this report as a tool to facilitate dialogue that will enable change.\nThe parties to the conflict may not always agree with our findings, but we have seen some progress on certain fronts. For example, policy commitments, movement towards greater accountability and, to some extent, changes on the ground.\nUltimately, however, the responsibility to protect civilians and to reduce the number of deaths and injuries falls upon the parties to the conflict who are bound by international humanitarian law.\nQuestion: Have you shared your report with Daesh group?\nDanielle Bell: Thank you for the question. The report has been shared in advance with the Government of Afghanistan and all of its security bodies, international military forces and the Taliban.\nView a pdf of the press conference transcript [2]\n\uf0d9 [4] [4]Peace and literacy key to Baghlan development says Governor at UNAMA-backed event [4]\n\uf0da [5] [5]Improving economic outcomes for Herat at heart of UNAMA-backed forum [5]\nSource URL: https://unama.unmissions.org/release-unamas-mid-year-report-protection-civilians-armed-conflict\n[1] https://unama.unmissions.org/release-unamas-mid-year-report-protection-civilians-armed-conflict\n[2] https://unama.unmissions.org/sites/default/files/25_july_2016_poc_mid-year_report_press_conference_transcript-english.pdf\n[4] https://unama.unmissions.org/peace-and-literacy-key-baghlan-development-says-governor-unama-backed-event\n[5] https://unama.unmissions.org/improving-economic-outcomes-herat-heart-unama-backed-forum",

The former Caput Mundi, or Capital of the World, sits beneath Palatine Hill, where the ruins of its original incarnation are open for exploration. No Rome tour is complete without stopping by the remains of the Temple of Saturn and Arch of Septimus, both located in the Roman Forum. Get in touch with your inner gladiator and stop by the Colosseum, a relic of Roman bloodsports and perhaps the most recognizable element of the city. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain to ensure you\u2019ll return to Rome one day; don\u2019t toss in two coins unless you\u2019re ready to fall in love with a Roman. Continue your Rome sightseeing in St. Peter\u2019s Square, home of St. Peter\u2019s Basilica. The world\u2019s largest church, designed by Michelangelo, is both a remarkable structure and a tribute to faith. You can look down from the famous dome to the Holy Square, which is usually filled with the faithful looking to obtain a blessing from the Pope. After this, it\u2019s just a few steps to restaurants filled with Italian food. Forget coming back to Rome \u2013 you\u2019ll never want to leave. What\u2019s your favorite memory of Rome?

With an area of approximately 44 hectares (110 acres), and a population of 842, it is the smallest internationally recognized independent state in the world by both area and population.\nIt is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state ruled by the Bishop of Rome \u2013 the Pope. The highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergy of various national origins. Since the return of the Popes from Avignon in 1377, they have generally resided at the Apostolic Palace within what is now Vatican City, although at times residing instead in the Quirinal Palace in Rome or elsewhere.\nVatican City is distinct from the Holy See (Latin: Sancta Sedes), which dates back to early Christianity and is the main episcopal see of 1.2 billion Latin and Eastern Catholic adherents around the globe. The independent city-state, on the other hand, came into existence in 1929 by the Lateran Treaty between the Holy See and Italy, which spoke of it as a new creation, not as a vestige of the much larger Papal States (756\u20131870), which had previously encompassed much of central Italy. According to the terms of the treaty, the Holy See has \"full ownership, exclusive dominion, and sovereign authority and jurisdiction\" over the city-state.\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/Vatican_City\nSaint Peter (Greek: \u03a0\u03ad\u03c4\u03c1\u03bf\u03c2 Petros, Syriac/Aramaic: \u072b\u0738\u0721\u0725\u0718\u073f\u0722 \u071f\u0739\u0741\u0710\u0726\u0742\u0735\u0710, Shemayon Keppa, Hebrew: \u05e9\u05de\u05e2\u05d5\u05df \u05d1\u05e8 \u05d9\u05d5\u05e0\u05d4\u200e Shim'on Bar Yona, Latin: Petrus; died c. 64 AD), also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Sim\u014dn, according to the New Testament, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, leaders of the early Christian Church. The Roman Catholic Church considers him to be the first Pope, ordained by Jesus in the \"Rock of My Church\" dialogue in Matthew 16:18. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and associate him with founding the Church of Antioch and later the Church in Rome, but differ about the authority of his various successors in present-day Christianity.\nThe New Testament indicates that Peter was the son of John (or Jonah or Jona) and was from the village of Bethsaida in the province of Galilee or Gaulanitis. His brother Andrew was also an apostle. According to New Testament accounts, Peter was one of twelve apostles chosen by Jesus from his first disciples. Originally a fisherman, he played a leadership role and was with Jesus during events witnessed by only a few apostles, such as the Transfiguration. According to the gospels, Peter confessed Jesus as the Messiah, was part of Jesus's inner circle,thrice denied Jesus, and preached on the day of Pentecost.\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/Saint_Peter\nSt. Peter is one of the four main churches of the old town of Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland, besides Grossm\u00fcnster, Fraum\u00fcnster and Predigerkirche.\nLocated next to the Lindenhof hill, site of the former Roman castle, it was built on the site of a temple to Jupiter. An early church of 10 by 7 metres is archaeologically attested for the 8th or 9th century. This building was replaced by an early Romanesque church around AD 1000, in turn replaced in 1230 by a late romanesque structure, parts of which survive. Rudolf Brun, first independent mayor of the town, was buried here in 1360. The nave was rebuilt in 1460 in Gothic style. Prior to the Reformation, St. Peter was the only parish church of the town, the rest being part of monasteries.\nThe current building was consecrated in 1706 as the first church built under Protestant rule. Its congregation forms part of the Evangelical Reformed Church of the Canton of Z\u00fcrich. Until 1911, the steeple was manned by a fire watch. Restoration work was carried out in 1970 to 1975. The steeple's clock face has a diameter of 8.7 m, the largest church clock face in Europe. The bells date to 1880.\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/St._Peter,_Z\u00fcrich\nSt. Peter is the 8th District of Graz.\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/St._Peter_(Graz)\nSt. Peter's or similar terms may mean:\nSt Peters, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney\nSt Peters, South Australia\nSt. Peters Canal, Cape Breton Island\nSt Peter's, Guernsey\nSt. Peters, County Roscommon, a civil parish in County Roscommon\nSt. Peters, a hamlet in \u017babbar, Malta.\nSt. Peter's Island, in Lake Biel\nSt Peters, Thanet, Kent, England\nSt. Peters, Missouri, a city\nSaint Peter's Village, Chester County, Pennsylvania\nSt. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, within Rome, Italy\nOld St. Peter's Basilica, the building that once stood on the spot where the Basilica of Saint Peter stands today in Rome\nSt. Peter's Abbey (disambiguation), various\nSt. Peter's Cathedral (disambiguation), various\nSt. Peter's Church (disambiguation), various\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/St._Peter's\nSt. Peter's Ward is a 2-seat ward of Kettering Borough Council.

While it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome, St. Peter's is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic shrines. It has been described as \"holding a unique position in the Christian world\" and as \"the greatest of all churches of Christendom\".\nCatholic tradition holds that the Basilica is the burial site of St. Peter, one of Christ's Apostles and also the first Pope; supposedly, St. Peter's tomb is directly below the high altar of the Basilica. For this reason, many Popes have been interred at St. Peter's since the Early Christian period. There has been a church on this site since the time of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. Construction of the present basilica, replacing the Old St. Peter's Basilica of the 4th century AD, began on 18 April 1506 and was completed on 18 November 1626.\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/St._Peter's_Basilica\nRadio Stations - Vatican_City\nTHE AMAZING VATICAN CITY TRAVEL GUIDE\nLittle Europe: The Vatican City\nRome Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia\nDiscover The Smallest Country in The World in 8 Minutes\nTravels with The President - Rome & Vatican City\nIndian Family Vacation | Rome | Vatican City tour | Colosseum tour\nRome and Vatican City Vacation\nVisiting the Vatican | Wanderlust: Italy [EP 5]\nOUR 51st COUNTRY! | Touring the Vatican\nVatican City Tour Vacation\nStato della Citt\u00e0 del Vaticano, Basilica di San Pietro, Piazza San Pietro, Roma\nHi Guys thank you so much for watching our series of VLOGS about Rome and the Vatican. Most people tend to ignore the fact that the Vatican is its own country, treating it as if it were simply an area of Italy, well it isn\u00b4t. The Vatican is one of the richest and most powerful countries on earth, a place with a rich history and that has some of the biggest collections of art in the history of mankind. This time around I'm taking you on a journey through the Vatican\u00b4's main attractions including the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica (including the rooftop of the basilica), the Vatican museums, the history and the most famous pieces of art of this unique country. I hope you enjoy it, holy regards LINKS to sites regarding the Vatican: THE VATICAN MUSEUM: http://www.museivaticani.va/cont...\nAs legend has it, Rome, Italy, was founded by the twin brothers, Romulus and Remus, in 700 B.C. The former Caput Mundi, or Capital of the World, sits beneath Palatine Hill, where the ruins of its original incarnation are open for exploration. No Rome tour is complete without stopping by the remains of the Temple of Saturn and Arch of Septimus, both located in the Roman Forum. Get in touch with your inner gladiator and stop by the Colosseum, a relic of Roman bloodsports and perhaps the most recognizable element of the city. Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain to ensure you\u2019ll return to Rome one day; don\u2019t toss in two coins unless you\u2019re ready to fall in love with a Roman.

        "raw_content": "Supporting community members to structure local problems and reflect upon them. The case of four communities in Bwaise area in Kampala.\nIn March 2018 the local transition team in Kampala organized the first three Transition Management arena meetings engaging participants from seven communities of an informal settlement area of the city. These first community meetings aimed at supporting the selected participants to structure the problems in their communities.\nThe first meeting was organized in a local school in Kabuoleka community, and 15 active community members from four local communities participated. At the beginning of the meeting the participants were shy and not sure what the meeting would be about, but they showed their interest to participate.\nParticipants during an open discussion.\nAfter a short round of getting to know each other and the transition team members and after a short introduction of the T-GroUP project, the participants started to feel more comfortable to speak. The participants were then divided into groups and went through three questions to understand the problems that they are facing in their communities and their root causes and reasons of persistency.\nAfter a first moment of hesitation, the groups started to discuss and voice their problems and write down their views. After this exercise, each group presented with a lot of energy and enthusiasm the main insights from their discussions and the other participants were invited to ask questions.\nMultiple problems came up. One common problem across all communities is the lack of a proper waste management contributing to water contamination, the blockage of drainage systems generating flooding and creating a very unhealthy and unpleasant environment. Other problems expressed were the improper sanitation facilities, which in their view also contributed highly to water contamination. In some communities, the participants explained that that the public toilets cannot be used anymore because the landlords take over the facilities.\nLooking at a deeper level of the problem, it is important to consider that the regulations regarding the building of infrastructures, housing and toilets are not respected and there is not enough control from local institutions. Other addressed points hinted at the low awareness of the inhabitants regarding waste recycling and recollection, building of sanitation facilities and water and sanitation practices.\nAt the end of the meeting, when participants were asked what they found most useful about the meeting, some of them shared that they \u2018learn a lot from each other!\u2019. One participant said: \u2018it is usually difficult to have such people from the University in our meetings\u2019 while another shared that he understood that \u2018the problems need to be solved together\u2019.\nThrough this first Transition Management arena meeting the participants were able to express their opinions and views and learn from each other. This allowed them to understand more in depth the causes of the persistency of their problems and to reflect on their own practices and behaviors as well as on the role of other local institutions and organizations.\nPosted in TGroUP: Experimenting with practical transition groundwater management strategies for the urban poor in Sub Saharan AfricaTagged Fieldwork, Kampala, Transition Management, Uganda\n\u2190 The Transition Management process is underway in Dodowa (Ghana)\nGolden Jubilee Award for T-GroUP researcher: Dr Robinah Kulabako \u2192",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Survival / Urban Survival: How to Avoid or Survive a Carjacking\nUrban Survival: How to Avoid or Survive a Carjacking\nA carjacking is an event where someone tries to steal a vehicle by force while that car is occupied. In other words, it\u2019s when someone tries to steal your car even though you\u2019re sitting in it. Carjackers usually have a weapon, and they may use extreme coercion or violence to get their way.\nCarjackings don\u2019t get as much attention as other types of crime. Despite this, it\u2019s still a very real problem. And during a widespread disaster, it will get a lot worse because people will either want your car so they can drive somewhere safe or they\u2019ll be taking advantage of the lack of law enforcement.\nBecause of this, preppers need to know what to do in the event of a carjacking, along with things they can do to avoid one in the first place. Don\u2019t assume it will never happen to you. Anyone can be a victim.\nFacts About Carjackings in the United States:\nThere are about 34,000 attempted carjackings per year.\n45% of attempted carjackings were successful.\n74% of carjackers used weapons to coerce their victims.\n68% of carjackings occurred at night.\n2/3 of victims resisted the offender.\n1/3 of victims ran away or called for help.\n14% of victims went to a hospital or doctor.\n(Data is from the Bureau of Justice Statistics.)\n7 Ways To Avoid Becoming a Carjacking Victim\nHere are seven tips to keep in mind to make sure you never get carjacked.\n1. Avoid Certain Areas\nThe best way to avoid becoming a carjacking victim is to completely avoid areas where they are the most likely to happen.\nPlaces where carjackings are more common:\nHigh-crime neighborhoods.\nTraffic lights, stop signs, etc.\nMostly empty parking lots.\nA residential driveway on a quiet day.\nAnywhere traffic is at a standstill.\nNear banks and ATMs.\nObviously, you won\u2019t be able to avoid all of these areas. But at the very least, they are areas where you want to be on guard, which brings us to the next tip.\n2. Practice Situational Awareness\nSituational awareness is all about being in the present moment and actively observing your surroundings, as opposed to daydreaming or looking at your phone, for example. Hopefully, you won\u2019t be looking at your phone while driving, but it\u2019s tempting to check it while sitting in traffic, and doing so makes you far more vulnerable.\nOther things that make you more vulnerable include eating food, singing along with the radio, changing the radio station, talking on the phone, talking to other people in the vehicle, and so forth. Carjackers love to target people doing things like this because they can stick a gun in their face before the victim even knows what\u2019s happening. Here\u2019s how to enhance your situational awareness.\nInstead, make a habit of looking around and regularly checking your mirrors, that way you\u2019ll see a carjacker approaching before he gets too close. Then you\u2019ll have a chance to escape, which brings us to the next tip.\n3. Leave Plenty of Space to Escape\nIt\u2019s wise to keep plenty of distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you when you\u2019re sitting in traffic. At the very least, you want to be able to see the rear tires of the car in front of you. This way, if you need to quickly gun the engine and whip around the vehicle in front of you to avoid a carjacking, you\u2019ll be able to.\nIn addition to leaving space in front of your vehicle, leave space around you as well by staying in the center lane. This will make it harder for carjackers to box you in and leave you more ways to escape.\nAnd don\u2019t just leave space around you when you\u2019re at a complete stop. Contrary to what most people think, carjackings can also happen when a vehicle is moving very slowly because the driver isn\u2019t expecting it. But to be fair, that usually only happens if the door is unlocked, which brings us to the next tip.\n4. Keep Your Doors Locked and Your Windows Closed\nGet in the habit of locking the doors as soon as you get into your car, and don\u2019t roll down your windows. If a would-be carjacker sees that your door lock is down or that the window is rolled up, he\u2019s more likely to wait for an easier target.\n5. Beware of People Following You\nThis ties in with #2 above (situational awareness), but I think it deserves its own section.\nIt\u2019s rare for a carjacker to decide to take your car on a whim. Usually, they\u2019ll watch you for several minutes from a distance beforehand, or they may even follow you for many miles. Carjackers who decide to take a car when someone pulls into the driveway usually do so after following the victim home.\nTo prevent this, pay attention to the cars behind you. If you notice one that has been behind you for quite a while (even if it\u2019s several cars back), there\u2019s an easy to see if it\u2019s following you. Just take four right turns. This way you\u2019ll go in a complete circle and end up right back where you were. Only someone following you will do the same thing.\nIf someone is following you, drive to the most public place you can find and park as close to the entrance as possible. Chances are, the would-be carjacker will move on.\nThe same rules apply if someone is following you on foot. They might be planning on following you to your car so they can steal it. Try to lose them, and if you can\u2019t, find someone (such as a police officer) and ask for help.\n6. Be Careful When Going To/Getting In Your Vehicle\nWhile walking to your vehicle, whether in a parking lot or in your own driveway, always keep your keys out so you don\u2019t waste time fumbling with them if someone suspicious approaches.\nAlso, before getting into your vehicle, check the back seat. Some criminals are able to break into a car but unable to hotwire it, so they\u2019ll hide in the back until you arrive so they can steal your keys.\n7. Park in a Well-Lit Area Near the Entrance\nNever park in an area that is dark, next to the woods, next to large vehicles, or anywhere that would give criminals cover to attack you. If you park in a well-lit, busy area, they\u2019ll look for an easier victim.\n4 Common Strategies That Carjackers Use\nIf you ever are the victim of a carjacking, it will probably happen when you least expect it. Here are some common tactics that carjackers use.\n1. Pretending to Need Help\nSometimes carjackers will pretend to need help so you\u2019ll roll down your window, open your door, or simply let your guard down. They could pretend to need directions, or they could pretend to be homeless and looking for spare change, or they could even walk with a limp to simulate an injury and gain your sympathy. Be just as cautious with people like that as you would with anyone else.\n2. Bumping/Hitting Your Vehicle\nAnother strategy that carjackers commonly use, at least when working in pairs or more, is to bump your vehicle from behind, pretending it was an accident. When you pull over to the side of the road and get out to assess the damage, they will pull over too and one or both of them will attack you and try to steal your vehicle.\nIf this happens to you but something about the situation doesn\u2019t seem right, stay in your car and call 911 immediately. If they see that you\u2019re on the phone, they may decide to leave.\nThey could also hit your vehicle with something. This is less common, but I\u2019ve heard reports of it happening in countries with major economic crises, such as Argentina and Venezuela. Carjackers threw bricks and even Molotov cocktails at moving vehicles. When the drivers slammed on the brakes and got out, they were attacked.\nIf this happens to you in a particularly dangerous area or during a major crisis, don\u2019t fall for it. Keep driving until you\u2019re somewhere safe.\n3. Pretending Their Vehicle is Broken Down\nOne final tactic often used by carjackers is to pretend to be in need of mechanical assistance. This tactic is often used in more rural areas: they\u2019ll be pulled off to the side of the road, their lights will be on to indicate that their car is having issues, and then when you step out to lend a hand, they\u2019ll spring the trap.\nWhy would they do this if they already have a vehicle? To get a better vehicle or a second vehicle. It\u2019s as simple as that.\nYou can still help people who need assistance, but you should only do it if you have a couple of people with you, at least enough to outnumber the people on the side of the road.\n4. Following/Hiding Until You Get To Your Vehicle\nCarjackers don\u2019t just target people in cars; they target anyone or any vehicle that looks like an easy target. That means they might follow you until you get to your vehicle, or they might hide near your vehicle and wait for you to arrive.\nTo avoid this, just remember the 5th tip above (beware of people following you) and the 6th and 7th tips (be careful when going to/getting in your vehicle and park in a well-lit area near the entrance).\n5 Ways to Survive a Carjacking\nAt this point, you\u2019ve learned how to avoid a carjacking as well as the most common strategies that carjackers use. Based on that information, you have a lot of knowledge on how you can (hopefully) prevent a carjacking from ever happening to you.\nBut what if it does happen? Here are three things you can do.\n1. Press the Panic Button\nMost key fobs have a panic button that will make your car honk or sound an alarm. If you press this, then hopefully it will startle the carjacker and he\u2019ll run away.\nIf you don\u2019t have a panic button, you could install a system such as this Viper 1-Way Car Alarm.\nNot only will it enable you to sound a noisy alarm, it also has a FailSafe starter kill system and anti-carjacking mode to stop criminals from stealing your vehicle. Note: You\u2019ll probably need to hire some professionals to install it for you.\nIf you\u2019re on foot and someone with a weapon attempts to steal your car (like when you\u2019re entering or exiting your vehicle), just drop your keys and run. I know some people recommend cooperating with the carjacker if he has a weapon, but statistics show that you are far more likely to survive if you run away. They won\u2019t see much point in chasing or shooting you if they already have your keys. Your vehicle can be replaced; your life can\u2019t.\nEven if they tell you to get into the car at gunpoint, just run. If you go with them, it\u2019s almost a certainty that something bad will happen to you. But if you run away, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll be okay.\nOf course, if you have children in the vehicle who are buckled in and are unable to get out or don\u2019t know to run away, it\u2019s better to stay with them and wait for another opportunity to escape. Never abandon your kids.\nIf the carjacker is making you drive, there\u2019s something you can do\u2026\n3. Crash Your Vehicle\nIf you were unable to get out of your vehicle in time and you\u2019re being forced to drive, intentionally crash your vehicle on a busy road or at a busy intersection. If you have your seatbelt buckled, you should be all right as long as the crash isn\u2019t too severe (make sure it isn\u2019t). But the carjacker, who probably didn\u2019t buckle up, will be injured.\nEven if he isn\u2019t injured, he will probably jump out of your vehicle and run away rather than risk getting caught by the police.\nThis option is dangerous and should only be done if you\u2019re unable to run away and the attacker doesn\u2019t have a weapon. If you put up a big enough fight, he might decide your vehicle isn\u2019t worth the trouble.\nYou\u2019ll be better able to fight back if you have a weapon. But if you decide to keep a weapon in your car, it needs to be within easy reach of the driver\u2019s seat. The glove compartment is a poor spot for a defensive weapon because of this. Instead, keep it in the center console, underneath the driver\u2019s seat, in between the driver\u2019s seat and the console, underneath the steering wheel, or anywhere you can get it quickly.\nBut again, only grab your weapon if the attacker doesn\u2019t have a weapon because if he does and he sees you grabbing yours, he might shoot or stab you first.\n5. Make It Easy For Help To Find You\nI know people value their privacy, but it\u2019s a good idea to turn on location tracking on your phone so your spouse and/or friends can see your location. That way if you\u2019re late getting somewhere, they can see where you are and call you. If you don\u2019t answer and they can see that you\u2019re in an unusual location, they can alert the police.\nThis can also be done with an app such as Family Locator (available in the Apple Store and Google Play). It shows your designated contacts on a map, that way everyone knows where everyone else is at any given time. There are many similar apps.\nAnother option is a service such as Kitestring. It regularly checks on you when you\u2019re out and alerts your contacts if you stop responding. This way you can call for help and the carjacker won\u2019t even know it. You don\u2019t even need a smartphone for this one, as it uses text messages.\nCarjackings can and do happen, and they will always become much more frequent after a major disaster. So if you\u2019re a prepper, don\u2019t forget to prepare for this, too. Commit the tips in this article to memory and keep yourself safe.\n\u00ab 10 Easy Steps to Raising Chickens in Your Backyard\n17 Things People Will Wish They Have After The SHTF \u00bb\nPretty good article.

        "raw_content": "DisappearingArchitecture-VGuo2010.pdf (141.5Mb)\nGuo, Vera\nDisappearing Architecture Media facades dominate the skylines of many of our cities. A quick stroll through today\u2019s urban areas involves a one-sided conversation directed at pedestrians. Advertisements aggressively compete for attention, creating a visually chaotic battlefield of logos, brand names, and flashing lights. Structures themselves recede into the background behind this visual confusion, withdrawing completely under giant billboards that are plastered with images and LED lights. In the visual order, architecture comes second, if at all, behind graphics and media messages. Building facades are now covered with flat images and advertisements which use savvy marketing schemes. The vast and overtly stimulating messages, however, have gradually desensitized viewers as they become increasingly accustomed to this visual noise. More explicit images, brighter lights, and larger movements are now required to make an impact. As media facades are such a large part of the competitive communications industry, these facades have come to influence architectural practices which are in danger of succumbing to the demands of the ad industry. It is thus important to create a balance between media and architecture, which is mutually beneficial to both. Architecture can be preserved while advertisements can also flourish. This thesis examines the use of digital media to enhance the public\u2019s connection to the built form within public spaces. Chapter one explores the various spaces in which people gather and their relationships to the city. Specifically, this chapter looks at the progress and decline of public realms in North America. Case studies of Times Square in New York City, Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, and the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada illustrate how each city negotiates media saturation. Chapter two presents eight design principles for the successful integration of digital media in public spaces. These principles were established through the use of historical references, case studies, and precedents showcasing each principle\u2019s potential. Chapter three looks at Galt City Centre in Cambridge, Ontario where the principles outlined in chapter two are demonstrated through a video application that was part of a public Christmas event in Cambridge. The project in Galt addresses the existing features of the city which engage its public spaces, encouraging a symbiotic relationship between the architecture and video facade. The integration of digital media and architecture can be enriched in the choice of strategic locations highlighting local character. Installations can be cultural, create local identity, become reactive for community engagement, and encourage the public to inhabit the city by transforming existing spaces into communal areas. Installations connect with users in their use of the characters inherent to outdoor spaces; texture, sounds, emotions, and the experiences of different seasons and times of day. With a more responsive approach to content design and implementation, the outcomes of the use of digital media on facades can be positive.\nVera Guo (2010). Disappearing Architecture.

        "raw_content": "Latino Electoral Tsunami Postponed Another Four Years\nThe national media pays little attention to Hispanics, except at election time when the thinking appears to be: If there were 55 million Jews in the U.S., we\u2019d totally kick ass.\nBut once again \u2026\nHere\u2019s What Happened with the Latino Vote\nBy ROBERTO SURO\n[Email him]\nIf you are in shock over the election results, don\u2019t blame Latinos.\nThey favored Hillary Clinton by better than two to one, according to the exit polls. They did not turn out in big numbers to protest Donald J. Trump, but it probably would not have mattered. \u2026\nYou may have been convinced that it would be otherwise. Years of reckless commentary, news stories and advocacy insisted that Latinos would be the great demographic firewall that would safeguard progressive politics with surging population numbers.\nThe national exit polls show that Mrs. Clinton drew 65 percent of the Latino vote compared with 29 percent for Mr. Trump. That is a landslide by any measure, and it is about the same margin in the exit polls for 2008 (67 percent vs. 31 percent). The disappointment sets in when you compare the outcome to 2012. President Barack Obama took 71 percent of the Latino vote in the exit polls that year compared with 27 percent for Mitt Romney.\nMr. Trump was supposed to be the bucket of cold water that aroused the sleeping giant, producing not only a stronger preference for the Democratic candidate but also, more important, a spike in turnout. In 2012, with immigration reform on the line, more than 12 million Latino voters stayed home, producing a turnout rate of 48 percent compared with 64 percent for whites and 67 percent for blacks.\nThe much ballyhooed and chronicled \u201cTrump Effect\u201d was supposed to have produced a surge in naturalizations and voter registration over the past year, and news organizations were churning out stories about the \u201csurge\u201d in Latino voting even after the polls closed Tuesday.\nWhile more time and data is needed to get a full picture of Latino turnout this year, at first glance it appears Latino numbers were up, and perhaps significantly in some places, but that in fact the giant was barely stirred.\nFour million more Latinos were eligible to vote Tuesday than in 2012. So, no matter who was running and no matter how low the turnout, the number of Latino votes counted Tuesday was virtually certain to be higher than 2012. In fact, demographic growth alone would have guaranteed Mrs. Clinton an additional 1.3 million votes (about 1 percent of the total votes cast), even if turnout remained at the same dismal rate as 2012, and she got two-thirds of the Latino votes.\nIn Colorado and Nevada, Latino voters surely helped keep the states blue, and under different scenarios those states could have served as the much-advertised Latino firewall. \u2026\nFlorida is the one place where Latinos might have been able to change the results of this election and didn\u2019t.\nIt\u2019s almost as if the Cubans and Puerto Ricans of Florida don\u2019t really care about their Mexican compadres getting amnesty.",

        "raw_content": "Poverty, Ignorance, and College\nThis San Francisco Chronicle piece talks about why Latinos aren't going to college in large numbers even if they're American citizens and are legally entitled to the money the American taxpayer pays to send people to college.\nTwo of the reasons are\nThey don't speak English very well, in spite of being native-born, probably because not only were they raised by Spanish-speakers at home, but went to majority Hispanic schools, in majority Hispanic neighborhoods. That's not only not a recipe for assimilation, it's not even a recipe for learning English.\nTheir parents aren't that interested in their schooling, using them as child labor. A teacher is quoted as saying \"I ask why they've been absent and they say, 'I've been helping my dad with work. I've been too tired for homework.'\"\nI've italicized a couple of the points that struck me, below.\nAttending college sets Veronica and her 20-year-old sister apart from most of the state's Latinos, who are expected to become a majority of California's population in another generation, according to state estimates, but who currently have the lowest levels of education of any racial or ethnic group in California.\nVeronica is among just 1 in 7 California Latinos who graduated from high school after four years and completed the courses required to enroll in a four-year college, according to the California Department of Education. If she completes college, she will be among only 13 percent of U.S.-born Latinos in California with a bachelor's degree, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found.\nThe statistics for African Americans are similar to those of Latino students, but the societal impact is less broad. Blacks make up 8 percent of the state's public school students, while Latinos represent 48 percent. [College seems out of reach to most Latinos,By Tyche Hendricks, June 24, 2007]\nThe part about Latinos being expected to \"become a majority of California's population in another generation\" assumes, of course, both that mass immigration continues, and that none of the several million illegals in California is deported.Of course, these trends will only get worse with amnesty.",

The Group raised a total of 100 million dollars with the loan. The Schuldschein loan agreement has terms of five and seven years. The conditions are favorable compared with similar instruments issued in US dollars and are at the lower end of the marketing range, thus underscoring the excellent credit rating that the international Wacker Neuson Group continues to enjoy.\nAn important pillar for Wacker Neuson, the US business had previously been financed from Germany using internal Group loans. \u201cThis first Schuldschein loan agreement in US dollars puts our US Group member on an independent footing for its financing needs and creates a solid, local financial basis for our Group to grow strongly in this vital market,\u201d explains Wilfried Trepels, Chief Financial Officer of Wacker Neuson SE. The Schuldschein loan agreement was issued by the US affiliate, however, the actual agreement is drafted under German law.\nThe Schuldschein loan was brokered by Hessische Landesbank, which also brokered the EUR 125 million Schuldschein loan for Wacker Neuson in February 2017. The Group has now placed a total of three Schuldschein loan agreements. The first was issued in 2012.\nWacker Neuson SE also plans to replace its previous short-term bank credit lines with three medium-term bank credit lines. \u201cBoth of these measures will create a solid basis for the Group\u2019s long term financing needs, giving us the headroom we require to achieve our 2022 strategy goals,\u201d adds Wilfried Trepels.\nThe Group\u2019s net financial debt amounted to EUR 195 million at September 30, 2017. This corresponds to gearing of just 18 percent. The Group will publish its financial figures for fiscal 2017 as a whole on March 20, 2018.\nThe Wacker Neuson Group is an international family of companies and a leading manufacturer of light and compact equipment with over 50 affiliates and 140 sales and service stations. The Group offers its customers a broad portfolio of products, a wide range of services and an efficient spare parts service. The product brands Wacker Neuson, Kramer and Weidemann belong to the Wacker Neuson Group. Wacker Neuson is the partner of choice among professional users in construction, gardening, landscaping and agriculture, as well as among municipal bodies and companies in industries such as recycling, energy and rail transport. In 2016, the Group achieved revenue of EUR 1.36 billion, employing around 5,000 people worldwide.\nPress release Schuldschein loan",

        "raw_content": "What are Fingernails Made of\n28 Jun, 2012 what are\nFingernails are the hard, claw like coverings that can be found at the end of the fingers in humans and other primates. The fingernail consists of the nail plate, the nail matrix and the nail bed which rests below it. It is also comprises of a number of surrounding groves. Fingernails grow in length and size throughout a person\u2019s life and are often cut and cleaned to maintain healthy growth.\nWhat are Fingernails made of?\nFingernails are made of a strong, tough protein called keratin. Keratin is the same protein that horses hooves, turtle shells and horns are comprised of. Human hair and the top layer of the skin are also comprised of keratin. As the nail grows from the nail bed, the old nail cells are pushed out which causes them to die, flatten and harden. Layers of these dead, compressed and hardened cells create fingernails. The keratin in the nail cells cause the cells to harden and become tough. This helps protect the delicate and sensitive skin underneath, called the nail bed. The layers of cells have no color and are transparent making it possible to see the capillaries of the skin below the nail. This is why fingernails appear pink in color.\nInteresting facts about fingernails\nDid you know that fingernails only grow on average approximately 2.5 mm (one tenth of an inch) each month. It would take 3 to 6 months to grow an entirely new fingernail.\nThe fingernail on the index finger grows faster than the fingernail on the pinky finger because nail growth rate is determined by the length of finger bone.\nFingernails grow faster in summer than any other season.\nThe shape of your fingernail is determined by the shape of the bone underneath it.\nThe only living part of the fingernail is the nail root which is under the skin at the base of the fingernail.\nIt is only a myth that fingernails continue to grow after death. However, the skin dehydrates and tightens which makes them appear to grow.\nWho Invented Nail Polish",

        "raw_content": "Who Discovered the Stratosphere\nStratosphere is the name given to the second layer of the Earth\u2019s atmosphere. It is located just above the troposphere and below mesosphere. It has a stratified nature meaning that it has warmer layers higher up and cooler layers closer to the earth. The stratosphere is found anywhere between 8 km (5 mi) and 50 km (30 mi) above the earth\u2019s surface. The stratosphere absorbs high energy ultraviolet (UV), specifically UVB and UVC, waves from the sun. The Stratosphere is considered part of the biosphere because some bacterial life and certain species of birds can survive in this layer of atmosphere.\nWho Discovered the Stratosphere?\nThe discovery of the stratosphere was made independently by a French meteorologist named Leon Philippe Teisserenc de Bort and German meteorologist Richard Assmann. They both announced the discovery of the stratosphere in the year 1902, which means that they are both credited with this important discovery.\nTeisserenc de Bort served as chief meteorologist from 1892 to 1896 at the Central Meteorological Bureau in Paris. He later resigned so that he could complete his own experiments focused on the Earth\u2019s atmosphere. He used unmanned instrumented balloons to collect data from high altitudes. He discovered that when the balloons reached an altitude above 11 km the temperature remained constant. From his data he theorized that the earth had two layers of atmosphere. One layer which involve large amounts of air movement which he named the \u201ctroposphere\u201d (\u201csphere of change\u201d) and a second layer above that where temperatures remained constant. Teisserenc de Bort mistakenly thought this layer consisted of further internal layers and named it the \u201cstratosphere\u201d (\u201csphere of layers\u201d).\nAssmann also invented the psychrometer, which provided accurate measurement of humidity and temperature at high altitude.\nWhat Are The Layers Of The Atmosphere\nWhat Caused the Hole in the Ozone Layer",

        "raw_content": "Who Was the First Black NFL Player\n11 Apr, 2013 who was\nThe National Football League (NFL) is the highest level of professional American football in the world. It was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Conference (later Association) and was renamed the National Football League in 1922. The NFL boasts a large number of non-white players, about 60-70% which is a far greater percentage than the 34% of the population of the United States, and many of these are African Americans. Unlike many other sports, black players were permitted to play at the formation of the league. Let\u2019s find out who was the first black player to play in the NFL.\nWho was the first African American NFL player?\nThere were two black NFL players that played in the inaugural season of the NFL (then called the American Professional Football Conference). The first was Fritz Pollard who played for the Akron Pros as a running back. A year later he became the head coach of the team and this also makes him the first African American head coach of an NFL team! He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005.\nThe other African American NFL player who played the inaugural season was Bobby Marshall. He played in the NFL from 1920 to 1925 with 3 separate teams (Red Rock Independents, Minneapolis Marines and the Duluth Kelleys). He was an accomplished all round sportsman and also competed in baseball, ice hockey, boxing and track. He played football and baseball for the University of Minnesota and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1971.\nUnfortunately, all black players were removed from the NFL in 1927. They slowly returned in the following seasons only to be fully banned from the league in 1933. The first step in the integration process came when the Cleveland Rams wanted to move to Los Angeles. Part of the conditions of the move was that they integrated their team so they signed two black players. Kenny Washington was the first African American to be signed to an NFL team in the modern era!\nCharles Follis is believed to be the first African American professional footballer. He played for the Shelby Blues in the Ohio League from 1902 to 1906. He became to first black pro footballer when he signed a professional contract in 1904.\nWho Was The First Athlete To Appear On A Wheaties Box\nWhat was the First American Football Game Ever Televised",

        "raw_content": "Did you know that words sound way better in your head than they do on paper? Finished my first chapter yesterday and hated, hated, hated it. If it wasn\u2019t for this noose I\u2019ve tied around my neck in the form of daily updates, I would just scrap the whole thing and give up. But I\u2019ve made a commitment and I intend to stick to it (as of now).\nSo how did the first chapter get written so fast? The truth is that, before I embarked on the actual process of writing my book, I had worked out a rough outline of each chapter. Then each day, as I walked my puppy Korra, I fleshed the first chapter out in my head till I was fairly clear of the pattern. Yesterday, when I began writing I had a beginning, middle, and end for this chapter. (Not so for the book itself, where I have not the foggiest idea of how the story will end. When I mentioned this to my daughter, she gave me a look and said, \u201cMom, you\u2019re the one who is always telling me that the end will figure itself out.\u201d What can I say, she is a smart cookie.)\nSome roadblocks in writing that first chapter \u2013\n\u2013 Character names. Some writers say their characters are alive in their head and just step onto the paper when they are ready. While this was somewhat true for the principal character, I still did not have a name for her. I finally decided on Lara as a title holder, since it is close to my daughter\u2019s name. I figure that thanks to Word, I can just substitute the name en masse if I change it later.\n\u2013 Lesser characters. Obviously the heroine is not the only character in the book. But what to name the other characters? And descriptions? As I was writing a new character popped up, and turned out to be vital to the story? What should I name him? What does he look like? What is he wearing? It was surprising how much time and focus these insignificant decisions took. Again, I used a placeholder name (which is pretty yuck) and hopefully inspiration for a better one will strike sometime.\n\u2013 What if you need to do research? Using Freedom means no access to the internet for the entire 120 minutes, so this is a problem if you want to be somewhat accurate. Fortunately, my story is set in the future, so I can afford to take some liberties. But I anticipate some rewrites as I fix glaring scientific/biological anomalies.\nThe second chapter, unlike the first, is only a very rough outline, so I expect this one to take a long time and sweat.\n\u2190 Writing a Novel \u2013 Day 1 Talaash: Aamir Khan Does it Again! \u2192\nmeena srinivasan December 5, 2012 at 8:10 am\nDon\u2019t some books take years to write? By that token, getting the first draft of the first chapter done in one day is quite an accomplishment!\nJeanne Fredriksen December 6, 2012 at 7:43 pm\nVidya, the best piece of advice I ever received/read from an author is:\nLet it pour out on the first draft without worry. The second draft is for story/plot. The third is for character. And the subsequent drafts are for enhancements, tweaking, serious editing.\nThat\u2019s the method I\u2019ve settled into, and it works for me. It may or may not work for you, but I wanted to share that with you.\nAll writers write under different situations, constraints, methods. Don\u2019t be afraid to experiment with what works best for *you*. One thing I had learned early on is that if I edit and re-edit the same chapter or chapters over and over until I think it\u2019s \u201cright,\u201d I never move forward. But that\u2019s me and my quirks.\nAnother piece of advice I\u2019d gotten from a middle-grade-moving-into-young-adult author was to never label what you\u2019re writing until you\u2019re done with it. The intent and the major characters will determine whether it\u2019s for emerging, independent, middle grade, young adult, or adult readers. Ever since I was told that, it has freed me up to move forward faster, and I\u2019ve experienced how things changed as I drafted.\nHowever, if you\u2019re planning to write for a particular \u201cgroup\u201d (i.e., 10-year olds, 16-year olds, etc.), I encourage you to read as many books as you can that fall into those categories to get a feel for what\u2019s out there and what kids are reading. And, if you like, I can send you some great reference materials and titles of books on the subject.\nI applaud you for deciding to do this! And I\u2019m so tickled to be able to follow your journey. Word of caution \u2026 don\u2019t let your blog cut into your novel time \u2757\nVidya Pradhan Post author December 6, 2012 at 11:11 pm\nGreat advice Jeanne! My original plan was to let it all pour out in the first draft, but I am beginning to realize that\u2019s not my style. Today was spent mostly on the chapters already written, fixing some of the foundational elements and rewriting for clarity. I was happier when I had done that because a) I felt better about my output and b) it showed me a way ahead for my characters..at least to the next chapter.\nAs for the blog, I\u2019m finding it to be a source of motivation for the book..can\u2019t keep writing the novel all the time and this allows me to take a breather, put down my fears in writing so they appear small and, in general, practice the craft of organizing my thoughts and ordering them on paper. Plus, I get to hear from writers like you. \ud83d\ude42",

The titles of the pieces are the bits of hand written notes on the back of the photos, and they\u2019re all I know about them. I had purchased a small bag of loose photos, and the people and places do not seem to have anything in common. I find them to be fascinating vignettes into lost strangers lives. By their nature as photographs, each of these source images is inherently still, a frozen relic of an untouchable past. Nonetheless, photography has a special power: pictures, more than any other medium, evoke presence. An unaltered photograph gives to us a space, a person, a landscape that we know to exist, even as we know we can never reach it. These re-compositions utilize the qualities and visual cues found in photography to produce work that is both powerfully emotional and enigmatic. What these paintings seek to preserve from their source material is the sense of presence embodied in the photographs from which they originate. By doing so the pieces attempt to elevate the figures from the merely decorative to beings possessed of psychological interiority.\nImage Description: 24 / Main Image",

        "raw_content": "Director(s): Carlos L\u00f3pez Estrada\nWriter(s): Rafael Casal and Daveed Diggs\nCinematography by: Robby Baumgartner\nEditor(s): Gabriel Fleming\nCast: Daveed Diggs, Rafael Casal, Janina Gavankar, Jasmine Cephas Jones and Tisha Campbell-Martin\nEvery once in a while, you come across a movie that has so much love and passion in it that you immediately get sucked into the world presented. The characters feel like longtime friends, the streets beckon you to take a long stroll down memory lane and the corner store always has your favorite refreshments. Blindspotting welcomes you to Oakland, and even if you\u2019ve never been here before it will feel like home thanks to the love and care Casal and Diggs poured into each word of their script.\nI came into this movie with zero expectations. I was vaguely aware that it was one of the most highly praised movies to come out of this year\u2019s Sundance, but the buzz had died down by the time it reached mainstream audiences. Walking out of this movie I was dumbstruck as to why this movie isn\u2019t a major hit.\nThe story centers around lifelong friends Collin (Diggs) and Miles (Casal). They work at a moving company, helping longtime residents of Oakland move out and the new wave of \u201chipsters\u201d move in as their streets are faced with gentrification. While trying to get back to his halfway house before missing curfew, Collin witnesses a violent altercation between a black man and a white cop. The ghost of this event haunts him for the entirety of the final 3-days of his parole, leading him to rethink how he sees the world and the people around him.\nCarlos L\u00f3pez Estrada knocked his directorial debut straight out the park. Backed by an incredible script, L\u00f3pez created and maintained a tone that managed to straddle the line between drama and comedy, always keeping the audience on their toes. Playing with angles, lighting and blocking, this movie has a unique look and feel that you don\u2019t expect from a first-time director. I loved how he illustrated the mundane daily routine of Collin, and how it slowly changes thanks to the brain-worm of the event that won\u2019t leave him alone. There is a dream sequence that took me by surprise. It has Collin facing the judge again and Miles is the prosecutor. Collin can\u2019t speak, since every time he wants to say a word a bullet falls from his mouth as Miles just digs a bigger hole for him further condemning him to life in jail. It\u2019s visually impactful and edited in a way that you are just holding on for dear life.\nThe story is also unique. While it tackles racism, cop violence, stereotyping and bi-racial relationships, it touches on a subject that I never really gave too much thought to: gentrification. By definition, gentrification is the process of renovating and improving a house or district so that it conforms to middle-class taste, but in practice it\u2019s society\u2019s way of painting over the cracks and imperfections that make them uncomfortable, pretending it\u2019s the new hip place they just found at the cost of the history and life impregnated in the walls they just painted.\nThere is a moment in the story in where Collin and Miles get hired to clean out a house. The new owner, a young white hipster tells them to clean out all the \u201cjunk\u201d and throw it in the dumpster. Once inside we see family albums and picture of the life that once ran through this house and now it\u2019s simply junk in the way of the perfect \u201ccool\u201d house just bought. When you walk into your latest brunch place, you rarely think of the history that was erased by your eggs benedict.\nBlindspotting is one of the most original movies to come-out this year. At times, it feels like a musical, as Miles and Collin freestyle while they work, walk and drive. The climax of the movie feels like a cathartic def jam poem being yelled at the root of the protagonist problems. It\u2019s a buddy comedy, a romance movie, a love letter to Oakland and an exploration of the consequences of gentrification. Diggs and Casal managed to cram in all of this in a 95 min runtime that flies by leaving you wanting more. One of the few movies of this year that I see myself adding to my collection. This movie is why I love movies.\nBlindspotting is currently playing in theaters. Go support it - very few movies like this come around.\nMovie Review, Movies, Drama, Comedy, Crime",

The YouTube video is just 5 minutes and 17 seconds in length. Actually, I spent more like 30 minutes visiting with him. Cruz has never run for elected office before but has a very successful record as former Texas Solicitor General. He has a very impressive family background and other than not graduating from a Texas university, has a squeaky clean record. He has a way about him that is pleasing and his manner of speaking is easy listening. He seems sure of himself and is passionate and unshakable about his conservative values. Because of his court battles he is unflappable and knowledgeable in the critical issues facing us. I believe he would stand firm against the Obama Administration and against tyranny.\nAs the Solicitor General under Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, Cruz was instrumental in winning several landmark cases in the US Supreme Court and the Federal Court of Appeals. He has personally argued cases before the US Supreme Court, such as Medellin vs Texas and successfully defended the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act in 2006. Consequently he is well versed in understanding what it takes to win. His knowledge and expertise will be extremely effective if he is elected to the Senate.\nCruz exemplifies the American Dream. His father born and raised in Cuba fought in the Cuban Revolution and was imprisoned and tortured. Ted\u2019s grandfather got him out of prison and he fled to America in 1957 seeking freedom from oppression. Ted\u2019s father enrolled at the University of Texas and worked hard all his life. Ted\u2019s parents, as small business entrepreneurs, managed a data processing company in the oil and gas field. It was great listening to Cruz comment that his father was his \u2018hero\u2019.\nRead the transcript from the interview, here and watch the video on YouTube:\n\u00ab Dividing Conservatives: Who Started This, Anyway?\nFranken got it wrong \u00bb",

        "title": "Bara Omari: Challenging stereotypes by breaking barriers and empowering girls with knowledge | Wisconsin Muslim Journal",
        "raw_content": "Using education as a tool to navigate obstacles and advance in life, Bara Omari has dedicated her career to overcoming perceptions of Muslims and women as an example for others.\nIn her ESL (English as a Second Language) work, Omari assists international students to develop their communication skills so they can find their place in the Milwaukee community. Wearing her faith on her head, she uses education to open doors of opportunity for herself and others, translating knowledge into power and striving to inspire a generation of young Muslim girls to attain that strength and use it for good.\nQ&A with Bara Omari\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: What is your fondest experience from growing up in Milwaukee?\nBara Omari: My fondest experiences from growing up are around the East Side and Shorewood. The most distinct are those from Lake Michigan with my family. Rain or shine, we spent a lot of time as a family grilling or sharing meals at Veteran\u2019s Park or Lake Park. If my dad wasn\u2019t grilling, my mom would often cook at home, then pack the food and my siblings and I in the car, and drive us down to the lakefront for lunch or dinner.\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: Who was the most influential person during your youth and why? Do you still feel that impact today?\nBara Omari: My father was the most influential person in my life. I have always been really close to him. My siblings often joked that they couldn\u2019t share anything with me out of fear or worry that I\u2019d overshare something with him. That impact still exists today. You could say I followed in his footsteps \u2013 we\u2019re both educators at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC).\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: What do you think would surprise people to know about you?\nBara Omari: It depends on the group of people I\u2019m surrounded by. One of my favorite hobbies is reading and I don\u2019t think that surprises people very much. Many are most often surprised by my personality. When they see a veiled Muslim woman, people tend to expect a reserved and shy person. What they get is quite often the opposite of that.\nMy ESL students are often surprised by the languages I speak. I speak four languages \u2013 Arabic, English, French, and Spanish. If students I first meet are speaking a language that I understand, I don\u2019t speak with them in their native tongue. It forces them to use English.\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: As a Muslim woman, are you exposed to personal bias? And if so, is it more due to gender, faith, or both?\nBara Omari: As a Muslim woman of color who wears hijab, personal bias is all around me. I think it\u2019s due to a number of things, certainly my gender and my very physically apparent faith, but also my heritage and my skin. Whether at work or around town, I see the many facades of people around me, both positive and negative. Many of my experiences throughout my childhood and adulthood in Milwaukee are positive. I think it helps to have lived in the same community for years.\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: How did you become interested to work in academia, and what led to your current position?\nBara Omari: It was a culmination of events and experiences that led me to work in academia and my current position. Most importantly, education was always emphasized in my household growing up. Someone was always in school, either working towards a degree or teaching. My parents instilled the importance of education in me very early. When asking for permission to do something, most kids heard phrases like \u201cAfter you eat dinner,\u201d or \u201cIf you finish all your chores.\u201d For me, it was phrases like, \u201cAfter you finish homework/school/a degree/another degree.\u201d To advance in life, I needed an education and it was that education that helped lead me to my current position. Even today, the importance of education is prevalent in my family. My sister is pursuing a graduate degree in a field that isn\u2019t relevant to her undergraduate degree, my aunt is finishing a degree at MATC after over 30 years of being out of school, just to name a few examples.\nThat foundation and further experiences paved my path. I always had a few professions in mind that I thought of pursuing. Teaching stood out to me in my elementary years and through graduate school. From the great teachers I had in the Shorewood School system to the looks on people\u2019s faces once something clicked after I tutored them, to the comfort and ease in which I commanded a college classroom. The more exposure I had, the more I enjoyed it.\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: What do you see as the biggest challenge students have when learning English as a second language?\nBara Omari: The biggest challenges when learning English as a second language are often the obstacles surrounding students. That includes acclimating to a new city and country, poverty, and lack of opportunity. For example, I think learning English in Milwaukee itself is the biggest challenge. Milwaukee has long been known for its segregation. That segregation pours over into other minority groups. There are a number of different pockets of communities across the Milwaukee area. Immigrants in those communities are usually able to attend religious services, take classes, go to the grocery store, go out to eat, etc. all in their native tongue. I see this within the Muslim community on a regular basis. They can survive without using English, which then makes their language learning journey even more challenging. In some cases, the only English exposure students receive is that exposure in their classes.\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: What role does your faith play in the work that you do?\nBara Omari: I wear my faith on my head. As a result, I\u2019m consciously aware of the perceptions that exist around me and towards me. Given the negative media coverage and overwhelmingly inaccurate misconceptions, I strive to portray Muslims in a more positive light. My hijab reminds me that the world needs to see more Muslims doing random acts of kindness, containing our road rage when someone cuts us off, smiling, or holding doors open for strangers.\nProphet Muhammad was seen as someone who was loving, kind, and compassionate. One of his quotes include: \u201cKindness is a mark of faith and whoever has not kindness has not faith.\u201d It\u2019s similar to a quote that I have on my office wall: \u201cWhoever you are, be a kind one.\u201d My faith reminds me to show kindness and compassion in my character in everything that I do and break those barriers that exist towards Muslims.\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: What is the question you are most often asked?\nBara Omari: \u201cWhere are you from?\u201d followed by \u201cWhat language(s) do you speak?\u201d Given my appearance, I\u2019m often mistaken for the ESL student and not the instructor. When I began teaching at MATC, I even had students question if I had completed high school. This makes for an entertaining experience.\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: What do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment, and what goal are you still reaching for?\nBara Omari: My greatest accomplishment is simply being me. That includes my advancement in my academic and professional lives. With all the negativity and misconceptions that are portrayed about Muslim women, I\u2019ve successfully broken down walls, barriers, and overcome stereotypes and misconceptions in different aspects of my life, and have proved many people to be wrong. I think it\u2019s even why you\u2019re interviewing me. One conversation led to this interview. Many equate being a Muslim woman with being oppressed, reserved, shy, submissive. I\u2019m a Muslim woman and I\u2019m educated. I\u2019m a Muslim woman and I\u2019m successful. I\u2019m a Muslim woman and I have a social life. I\u2019m a Muslim woman and I\u2019m resistant to many stereotypes.\nI\u2019m still reaching for breaking more barriers and showing that Muslim women have a well-deserved place in this society and community. That to be Muslim and female doesn\u2019t come with reservations. That to be Muslim and female means we can conquer what we aspire to, regardless of the barriers we\u2019re faced with. That we can live in a world where Muslim and female equates to free will, free spirit, advancement, and success.\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: If you could send two messages in time, one 20 years ago and the other 20 in the future, what advice would you give your young self? And, what question would you ask the older version of yourself?\nBara Omari: I would tell my younger self that life isn\u2019t so serious and regimented. I would ask the older version: Is it really necessary to always keep everything clean? What\u2019s the most important thing in life?\nWisconsin Muslim Journal: What advice would you give to young Muslim girls in Milwaukee about their education?\nBara Omari: Education opens many doors of opportunity. Opportunity to learn about the world. Opportunity to advance in the world. Opportunity to learn about ourselves. As Muslim women, we\u2019re constantly being told by others who we are or who we should be, albeit some of those who tell us who we should be are well-intentioned. Education allows us to learn not only about the world around us, but about ourselves as well. Even if you don\u2019t necessarily enjoy learning, there is always something to be learned. Education is a culmination of information. Information is knowledge. Knowledge is power. We need more Muslim girls with power.\nPreviousCoding as a tool to empower a new generation of Gaza\u2019s Palestinian youth\nNextDaughters of Jamal Khashoggi recall a loving father and patriot\nBaker Al-Qudsi: The business benefits of social engagement",

        "raw_content": "Patrick Finucane (1949 \u2013 12 February 1989) was a Northern Irish human rights lawyer killed by loyalist paramilitaries acting in collusion with the British government intelligence service MI5. In 2011 British Prime Minister David Cameron met with Pat Finucane's family and admitted the collusion, although no member of the British security services has yet been prosecuted.\nFinucane's killing was one of the most controversial during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Finucane came to prominence due to successfully challenging the British government in several important human rights cases during the 1980s. He was shot fourteen times as he sat eating a meal at his Belfast home with his three children and his wife, who was also wounded during the attack. In September 2004, an Ulster Defence Association member, and at the time of the murder a paid informant for the Royal Ulster Constabulary, Ken Barrett, pleaded guilty to his murder.\nAfter much international pressure, the British government eventually announced that an inquiry would be held. This was one result of an agreement made between the British and Irish governments at Weston Park in 2001. The British government said it would comply with the terms agreed by the two governments at Weston Park. They agreed to appoint an international judge that would review Finucane's case and if evidence of collusion was found, a public inquiry would be recommended. The British government reneged on this promise to Finucane's family after the international judge found evidence of collusion.The Daily Telegraph quoted Prime Minister David Cameron saying \"[there are] people in buildings all around here who won\u2019t let it happen\".\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/Pat_Finucane\n'Pat Finucane' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:\nActors: Rod Arthur (actor), Ray Ashcroft (actor), Barry Birch (actor), Laurence Bourne (actor), Frank Brennan (actor), Paul Brennen (actor), Philip Bretherton (actor), Anton Brookes (actor), Richard Butler (actor), David Calder (actor), Colin Carnegie (actor), Peter Cellier (actor), Tony Clarkin (actor), Hugo Conlon (actor), Vass Anderson (actor),\npatissiersdanslemonde.com\nradiopatrullas.com\nLatest News for: pat finucane\nEdgar Graham's sister says SF must condemn murder\nThe sister of murdered unionist barrister Edgar Graham has condemned the murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane - and said Sinn Fein should do the same in relation to her brother ... \"Both Edgar and Pat Finucane were cut down in the prime of their careers.\" ...

Grainy surveillance video captured photos of a woman leaving the hospital with the infant.\nSheriff Mike Williams said the child was found \u201calive and well\u201d in Walterboro, South Carolina. Officials said DNA testing confirmed the child\u2019s identity.\nGloria Williams, 51, is being charged with kidnapping in connection with the case.\nDeputies said Mobley has been living under a different name for 18 years. Police are not releasing the name.\n\u201cShe appears to be a healthy, normal 18-year-old woman,\u201d Sheriff Williams said during a press conference.\nPolice pursued over 2,000 leads in connection with the case.

The woman left the room and walked out of the hospital.\nAccording to the Florida Times-Union, nurses thought the suspect was a family member because they saw her interact with Mobley before the abduction.\nThe case was featured on America\u2019s Most Wanted and a $250,000 reward was offered.\nThis is Gloria Williams, arrested in South Carolina for the kidnapping Kamiyah Mobley as infant 18 years ago pic.twitter.com/OUlXgVFjto\n\u2014 Stephanie Brown (@SBrownReports) January 13, 2017\n.@jsosheriff Williams says Mobley had an \"inkling\" she may have been a kidnapping victim. @WJCTJax\n\u2014 Lindsey Kilbride (@lindskilbride) January 13, 2017",

Professional CV services are commonly used when one has to pursue a new job, as this document reflects developments in one's career. Therefore, a CV has to be updated for better results.\nThe Main Points of CV Writing\nCV differs from resume writing based on its length. While resumes are typically limited to one page, CVs might run up to two or even more pages. Still, when writing a CV it is important to remember that longer CVs do not necessarily imply a better quality. The main aim is to provide relevant information in a concise manner.\nCV writing has to contain one's name, contact information, the overview of his/her education, related employment, research projects, as well as community services. Resume writing services might be of great help in this case.\nReferences should also be included when writing a CV (might be on a next page though).\nThe first item depends a lot on one's background, as well as the job he/she applies for. For example, a candidate who has just graduated may start with his/her education and list it in backward chronological order.\nThe earlier some information appears in CV writing, the greater accent is put on it. In such a way, the information which is very helpful in deciding one's skills and abilities for the position he/she applies for comes before content which is less helpful in CV and resume writing. Professional resume writers are ready to assist with these tasks for reasonable prices.\nThere is no standard format. It depends on which points are important in the discipline one applies for. Apply for CV writing services offered by our writers: save our time and receive high-quality product for low price.\nGapping. Gapping refers to the use of incomplete sentences.

        "title": "Why John Brown? \u2013 Woodstock Social Justice Initiative",
        "raw_content": "On 16 October 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown led an undertrained and undersized \u201carmy\u201d on what was to be the opening salvo in a slave movement that would grow large enough to ultimately stamp out what he termed the \u201csum of all villainies\u201d. Instead, however, the raid on Harper\u2019s Ferry ended after two days, with 17 dead, including a free African American and two enslaved persons. By one accounting, only 5 enslaved persons were freed as a direct result of the raid. Brown himself was quickly tried, convicted and hanged for treason. Many credit the raid with lighting the fuse that would explode in Civil War a short time later.\nOne could wonder why, of all people and all historical events, we chose John Brown and his ill-conceived raid as a theme for our inaugural conference. Our answer is this: Brown recognized that to be a free, white bystander in a slaveocracy nourished by injustice would mean to support the enslavement, murder, rape and torture of millions of his fellow human beings. Brown dedicated much of his life fighting against slavery and then went into Harper\u2019s Ferry understanding he would likely die in the raid.\nSo it is not the raid itself that we are recognizing, but rather the urgency of moral necessity driving the bold action taken by Brown, at a time when only action would bring about change. Many of us sense that now is likewise a time for action in the name of social justice, and WSJI\u2019s hope is that Brown\u2019s example will challenge us all to take some risk (short of armed rebellion) aimed at fighting racism.",

Here are their insights.\nBy Scott Heichel, RN, DNS-CT, RAC-MT; - January 31, 2018\nBaseline care plans have been required since late November 2017, but nurse assessment coordinators (NACs) and other interdisciplinary team (IDT) members are still navigating through a lot of misinformation to learn the rules of the road for F655 (Baseline Care Plans) as detailed in Appendix PP of the State Operations Manual.\nHere are seven common myths that need to be vanquished:\nBy Scott Heichel, RN, DNS-CT, RAC-CT - January 24, 2018\nE0800: Does rejection of care mean what you think?\nMDS 3.0 item E0800 (Rejection of Care\u2014Presence and Frequency) is a common source of miscoding, according to AANAC master teachers. This could be an issue for several reasons. First, E0800 is a covariate (i.e., risk-adjustment item) for three claims-based publicly reported quality measures (QMs) that are used in the Five Star Quality Rating System, according to the technical specifications:\nQ&A: Where in the regulations does it say that you need to have a care plan meeting?\nBy Jane Belt, RN, MS, RAC-MT, RAC-CT, QCP - December 18, 2017\nIt\u2019s Not Just a Desk Job: Improving Person-Centered Care Through the RAI Process\nBy Emily Royalty-Bachelor, Staff Writer - November 14, 2017\nThere is no one right or wrong way to be a nurse assessment coordinator. The role often varies by state, by facility, and by the individual filling the role.\nBut, suffice it to say, there are certain elements of the job that are applicable across the board\u2014like, say, completing the MDS, or scheduling assessments.\nTasks like these usually require the quiet solitude of an office with a closed door, or at least a computer to access software. So it\u2019s understandable why many people might associate the role of a NAC with a desk job.\nBut the truth is, the RAI process is not something that can be completed from your work chair. And if you\u2019re spending the majority of your workday sitting at a desk, you\u2019re missing out on key elements of your roles and responsibilities. The role of the NAC involves a lot of face-to-face interaction, both with the interdisciplinary team and\u2014especially\u2014with the residents.\nNACs, like every other member of the facility staff, are in the business of providing person-centered care. The operative word here is \u201cperson.\u201d If you\u2019re not interacting with the people, how can you ensure they\u2019re at the center of the care you\u2019re delivering?\nThe RAI process, just like every component of care provided at the facility, needs to incorporate the resident\u2019s voice and resident\u2019s choice. Here\u2019s how to make sure you\u2019re doing just that:\nQ&A: Is a care plan summary required with each care plan review/revision following Quarterly, Annual, and Significant Change assessments?\nBy Jessie McGill, RN, RAC-CT - November 13, 2017\nBaseline Care Plan FAQs: Weekends, Required Revisions, and Other Issues\nBy Caralyn Davis, Staff Writer - October 16, 2017\nThe baseline care plan requirement under F-tag F655 (Baseline Care Plan) in \u00a7483.21 (Comprehensive Resident-Centered Care Plans) of the Code of Federal Regulations goes into effect Nov. 28, 2017. Officials with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) addressed common frequently asked questions (FAQs), as well as follow-up questions from callers, during a Sept. 7 National Provider Call. Topics covered during the call range from working weekends to revising the baseline care plan as needed prior to the development of the comprehensive care plan. Note: Access the call slides, as well as the transcript and audio recording when available, here.\nBaseline Care Plan Tool\nBy Caralyn Davis, Staff Writer - August 01, 2017\nAs part of the Phase 2 rollout of the Mega Rule, nursing homes that participate in the Medicare and/or Medicaid programs must provide residents (and their representatives when applicable) with a baseline care plan summary starting Nov. 28, 2017. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) laid out the approach surveyors will take toward assessing compliance in the recently released advance copy of Appendix PP, \u201cGuidance to Surveyors for Long-term Care Facilities,\u201d of the State Operations Manual.",

        "raw_content": "Painter Stamps Latin Music Legends Into Postal History\n5 Latinos honored on stamps by Rafael L\u00f3pez\nby Jennifer Delson, AARP VIVA, March 16, 2011 | Comments: 0\nRafael L\u00f3pez/Courtesy of USPS\n2011 Latin Music Legends U.S. postage stamp series\nEn espa\u00f1ol | In the final months of Barack Obama's presidential candidacy, Rafael L\u00f3pez's wife, Candice, asked him for a big favor: Create an image that would resonate for Latinos and help Obama win their votes in swing states. \"We can't let him lose,\" she implored.\nThe portrait Lopez painted of Obama was adopted as an official campaign poster and gave the artist national exposure that led to speaking engagements, the creation of three paintings for Oprah Winfrey's South Africa school, and a coveted invitation to produce the 2011 Latin Music Legends U.S. postage stamp series being released in March.\nLatin Music Legends on Forever Stamps. Watch\nStamp Collecting 101. Read\nThe Sound of Latin Music. Read\nKing of Salsa. Watch\nL\u00f3pez's \"use of brilliant colors to capture the flavor of the Hispanic experience made him a natural choice for the Latin Music Legends stamps to portray their energy and vitality,\" says Richard Maher, a U.S. Postal Service spokesperson. The series features Celia Cruz, Carlos Gardel, Carmen Miranda, Tito Puente and Selena.\nThe artist, 49, previously designed two stamps for the Postal Service: one illustrating the merengue and another commemorating Westminster vs. Mendez, the 1947 court case that held separate schools for Mexican Americans were unconstitutional. But creating an entire set of stamps, says L\u00f3pez, was a greater challenge and involved two years of research and painting.\nAs usual, he split his time between a home and studio in San Diego \u2014 a spacious converted auto garage in a patch of gritty downtown \u2014 and a more idyllic spot in San Miguel de Allende, a central Mexico artists' colony. Also as usual, he used Mexican acrylic paints because of their low price and vibrant colors. He applied the paint to hand-cut, sanded wood canvases, creating textures with various tools, including shells. A printer then reduced the paintings to produce stamp-size copies.\nMiguel Salmer\u00f3n, a photographer who has worked with L\u00f3pez, says the artist's commitment to Mexican forms and colors \"has really hit a home run. He was doing this when it wasn't cool. He could have gone in any direction. I'm glad he stuck with his love for his culture and the belief in his own work.\"\nSays L\u00f3pez, \"It was a real honor to make the series because I am passionate about Latin music, as it has fueled my work for decades. I hope the images will inspire fans and future generations of musicians and artists.\"\nThe artist has also inspired future generations by mentoring at-risk high school students in the American Institute of Graphic Arts' San Diego program, LINK (Lead and Invest in our Neighborhood Kids).\nNext: Artist and Student Mentor >>\nThe students identify with him, says MaeLin Levine, who owns the graphic design firm Visual Asylum and has worked with L\u00f3pez on community and commercial projects. \"The AIGA LINK and folks like Rafael have positively influenced many kids and saved some from getting involved in drugs and gangs,\" she says.\nCharles Glaubitz, 37, a former student of L\u00f3pez's who now creates commercial art installations in Europe, says the artist \"has a true voice that helps to inspire young artists to pursue their dreams.\"\nBeyond mentoring and creating stamps, L\u00f3pez has illustrated several award-winning children's books and spends time painting murals \u2014 often as a community service. He and Candice, a college art professor, conceived San Diego's Urban Art Trail project. For this massive community beautification effort, L\u00f3pez developed a bold, graphic style of murals that allowed the public to fill in the empty spaces as if using an enormous paint-by-numbers kit.\nLevine says that through the Urban Art Trail, Candice and Rafael L\u00f3pez have become the \"graphic voice throughout East Village in San Diego,\" creating a community-wide project that includes paintings on utility boxes and buildings. Rafael's project paintings have become signature pieces, and his Urban Art Trail concept has been copied in neighborhoods throughout San Diego, Levine says.\nThe Latin Music Legends stamp project will have an even broader reach. The prominence of the five musicians appearing on the stamps, L\u00f3pez says, has given him the opportunity to teach Americans more about them and imprint their faces forever in our memory.\n\"The Latin Music Legends stamps honor incomparable musicians and performers of the Latin sound whose contributions continue to impact the public,\" he says. \"I wanted people to see the stamp images and hear their music.\"\nThe celebrities in L\u00f3pez's new series join other Latinos whose faces have graced U.S. postage stamps, including Roberto Clemente, Cesar E. Chavez and Desi Arnaz.",

        "raw_content": "Imagine walking into your department head\u2019s office and saying, \u201cI\u2019m giving up my full-time renewable teaching position to pursue adjunct teaching several states away.\u201d Okay, so I didn\u2019t use those exact words. That is essentially what I meant, though the exchange went a little more like this:\nMe: (nervously knocks on door) \u201cHi, Dr. __, do you have a minute?\u201d\nDepartment Head: \u201cSure, Melissa. What\u2019s on your mind?\u201d\nMe: (taking a deep breath) \u201cWell, see, my new husband\u2014you know he\u2019s in the military, right?\u2014is being sent to a new place, and I, um, have decided to go with him.\u201d\nDepartment Head: \u201cHmm, I knew this was coming.\u201d\nMe: \u201cUm, okay. I didn\u2019t.\u201d\nSo what was it like to give up a full-time job and move across country for adjunct teaching? One word: difficult.\nFor some, the decision to teach part-time is not an easy one to make, even when it is the best choice. For me, the first hurdle was making my resignation official, or perhaps it started with making the decision itself, going back and forth, weighing pros and cons. Agonizing. The second hurdle was finding a job after being off the market for several years. Somewhere in-between, I had to pack up my belongings and actually move. My husband had to leave for his new job before the semester was up, so I arranged the move alone. (So far, this has been the only time I have had to face that situation, but I doubt it will be the last.)\nWe adjuncts end up teaching part-time for a number of varied reasons. Some of us may be teaching for extra experience or extra money. Others may need the flexibility that part-time teaching allows\u2014or all of the above. I am mainly in the second category. I suppose I could have kept my full-time instructorship until retirement, or I could have gotten a different kind of job when I moved. But I wanted to stay in teaching and wanted to move with my husband; thus, I chose adjunct teaching for the flexibility it would offer. I would be able to move as frequently as necessary, and I had the perfect excuse to apply for different kinds of jobs and to explore my options.\nWhat helped me make my decision was that I knew what to expect because I had been on the adjunct track before. Added to that, I did some informal research on our new home, such as looking up how many colleges and universities were in the area, checking the schools\u2019 web sites for job postings, going to job search web sites (e.g., Chronicle.com, Smarterfaculty.com, and, of course, AdjunctNation.com), reading tourism web sites (great for finding out where and how to explore a new area), etc\u2026. I felt informed and prepared\u2014sort of.\nTo those who doubted my decision, I said, \u201cI can do this. I\u2019ve done it before. I can teach anywhere, so there\u2019s nothing to worry about.\u201d\nNaturally, many responded, \u201cWho are you actually trying to convince\u2014you or me?\u201d\nThe constant threat of moving every few years impacted my decision, as well, particularly the uncertainty of where I would move and when I would move. I was not only going to be an adjunct but also an itinerant instructor, albeit one who may have to move during any time of the year. That brings its own set of difficulties.\nMy first job search, the one that came after the conversation above, was complicated by the fact that I did not start searching until the spring (March/April). In hindsight, it was probably not the best time to go the job market\u2014ideally, the earlier, the better\u2014but I had no idea where (or if) I was going until then. It is like that when you are part of a military family. Even when you know you are moving sometime soon, you often do not find out where until it is almost time to go. That is the reason I needed the flexibility to begin with, yet it can prove difficult when I cannot start looking for a job until I actually know where to look. Even worse, try moving in the middle of the term when all the positions are taken. Last year, we moved at the end of October. All the colleges and universities in the area already had their adjunct pools set for the year, so I had to sit out until the following fall or hope for a sudden opening in the spring.\nBy the time I get settled in a new teaching position, we will probably move again, though hopefully not for a while. I would like to say I am used to being an itinerant adjunct, always looking for a new adjunct position in whatever new city I am in, but\u2026.\nAdjunct by Choiceadjunct facultyAdjunctNation.comjobhuntingMelissa McDonaldpart-time facultyrelocatingteaching\nCally says 8 years ago\nWhat I love about adjunct teaching is that I can actually TEACH. With only 3-9 hours, I can focus on helping more students instead of frantically trying to stay ahead of the stacks of papers that need grading.",

        "title": "Sunscreen and other Summertime Activity Protection - Adrea Rubin Marketing",
        "raw_content": "The end of May is approaching, and with the Memorial Day holiday this weekend, so is the beginning of summer.\nThe start of summer brings specific summer accidents. These accidents include grilling, fireworks, camping, bike riding, swimming and water-related activities, and gardening / lawn care.\nIn addition to this month being the unofficial start of summer, May is Disability Insurance Awareness Month. According to a Life Happens survey, a person has a three in 10 chance of suffering a disabling illness or injury that would keep them out of work for three months or more. Summer activities increase the odds of having a disabling accident. Since 95% of all disabling accidents are not work related, Worker\u2019s Comp does not cover the individual.\nThroughout this past month, my social media feeds included insurance companies\u2019 posts talking about disability insurance. The US Social Security Administration estimates that before retiring at 67, over two-thirds of today\u2019s 20 year-olds will become disabled. For the millennial generation, disability insurance is more important than life insurance. Disability insurance is owned by only 29% of the population, but 63% say that disability insurance is important. Facebook and Twitter content from the carriers highlighted statistics like these to their followers, hoping to increase awareness and ownership of this insurance product.\nIt is important that disability insurance awareness continues, even past the month of May. Regardless of the season, disabling accidents and injuries can happen to anyone. Aflac has always promoted disability insurance with the phrase \u201cif you get hurt and can\u2019t work\u201d. In their current marketing campaigns, Aflac is promoting same day claims. The virtually non-existent timeframe for waiting for payment makes this product even more appealing to consumers.\nDisability insurance is also known as income protection insurance. Often, carriers use this product description to appeal to individuals who may be less concerned with an injury and more concerned with a disabling illness. By highlighting the potential loss of income, these carriers appeal to consumer\u2019s desire to maintain their current standard of living. In some instances, the carrier often compares disability income protection to life insurance, hoping that the potential insured is more worried about their own future than for their family\u2019s future.\nDisabling illnesses and injuries can happen to anyone, but most people do not think it will happen to them. The reality is, about 25% of all US workers will have at least once instance of short-term disability during their working years. In fact, the risk of facing a disability that lasts five years or longer is about 8 percent for men, and about 10 percent for women, according to the Council for Disability Awareness.\nInsurance carriers have the unenviable task of sharing with consumers all of the potential, bad things that can happen, and then have to ask for money to protect them if they actually occur. It is even harder to do when all of the celebratory moments in life come with a sense of doom that it can all be taken away. Bought a new car? Awesome! Make sure you have enough coverage if you have an accident. Just got married? Best wishes for a life of happiness! You need life insurance now to protect your family. Book a trip for the vacation of your dreams? Bon Voyage! Make sure you have travel insurance if you need to change your plans.\nDisability insurance marketing may be the most awkward messaging to craft. Get hired to your dream job? Congratulations. Have summer vacation plans? Enjoy! Now you need Disability Insurance to make sure your paycheck is protected.\nEnjoy the upcoming holiday weekend, and stay safe. Make sure you wear sunscreen, swim with a lifeguard on duty and away from sharks, wear protective gear while biking and camping and turn off the power tools before tinkering with them. In fact, before you take off for the summer, make sure you have your own Disability Insurance.\nTags:Aflac, Disability Insurance, Disability Insurance Awareness Month, Income Protection, insurance, LifeHappens, Paycheck Protection, Short Term Disability",

He is part of a family with deep roots in farming, teaching, and the oil and gas industry. Family and community are central aspects of what the Chykerda clan believes in, and Myles has a long history of community engagement and accepting leadership roles in non-profit societies.\nBut Myles has not lived solely in rural areas and has spent time in Athens, Greece and Los Angeles. Living abroad allowed him to experience different cultures, but has always increased his appreciation for what we have in Alberta. While attending University of Alberta, he was an early adopter of downtown living, moving into a condo in the heart of Edmonton\u2019s financial district in 2004.\nWhile in Edmonton he met and became friends with numerous people that had been left behind by the boom. Individuals living on the street had been largely forgotten and left without anywhere to go for help or any aid to help them succeed. The idea of a hand-UP as opposed to a hand-out is something that strongly resonates with Myles.\nMyles believes in a balanced society supported by an efficient government. The economy and ensuring Albertans have access to quality jobs is vital, and health care and education paramount, but non-profits and fine arts groups are equally important in the creation of a rich Alberta that can be enjoyed by all.\nMyles is a professional archaeologist with Bachelor and Master of Arts degrees from UofA and a soon to be completed PhD from University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). He has worked on projects in Alberta, Italy, and Greece, and focuses on understanding how complex societies form through an interaction of natural landscapes, urban development, and social memory. He also dabbles in museum exhibit design and had his work showcased early this year in the Diachonic Museum of Larissa, Greece.\nTeaching is also a passion for Myles. While at UCLA, he instructed various courses ranging from Greek Archaeology to World Mythology. A core component of all these classes was ensuring students learned to think critically and analyze the world around them. He also participated regularly in outreach activities that brought archaeological artifacts and a passion for history and the ancient world to inner-city schools.\nAll his experiences have led Myles to believe in governance via open and transparent processes rooted in facts and logic. As an Alberta Party candidate for Lacombe-Ponoka, he will strongly champion issues that matter to the area, including pragmatic solutions to rural crime, sustainable improvements to the region\u2019s healthcare system, and building an efficient Government of Alberta that offers needed support to all Albertans.\nWhen not delving into politics or writing research papers, Myles enjoys getting outside for a run, sitting down at the piano, and exploring the world of Alberta craft beer. He\u2019s always up for a political chat over a coffee or pint!\nYou can explore Myles' research interests at Academia.edu!\nArchaeologist, Community Leader, 4th generation Albertan",

Translation: as you age, hands can start to look skeletal or boney.\nFillers act as an instant plumper. \"I perform a subcutaneous injection, which is fully underneath the skin but above the connective tissue that covers tendons, bones, vessels, and nerves,\" Zuckerman explains. \"Dermal fillers work well in this area, and my patients are generally very excited about the instant improvement in the appearance of their hands.\" In the company's study on efficacy and safety for FDA approval of Restylane Lyft, patients showed volume improvement in the hands for up to six months. Side effects (swelling, tenderness, itching) were predominantly mild and temporary.\nRestoring volume to the back of the hands is just one in a seemingly endless list of uses for hyaluronic acid fillers, which are typically used for plumping lips, softening wrinkles, and contouring the face. They're even being used to recreate the flattering tweaks created by Instagram filters. Elsewhere on the body, hyaluronic acid fillers are becoming alternatives to surgery, offering temporary reshaping effects for non-surgical nose jobs, non-surgical butt lifts -- even nipples.\nMost of these uses aren't technically FDA-approved. \"Off-label use of dermal fillers is relatively common, and licensed physicians have wide latitude as to what they can do in their office,\" Zuckerman explains. \"Other common off-label uses include temples, tear troughs, cheek augmentation, and chin augmentation,\" Sejal Shah, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, tells Allure. Even though the use of fillers on the body is increasingly common, Restylane Lyft is the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler to actually be evaluated and approved by the FDA for use on an area other than the face.\nLack of FDA approval doesn't necessarily mean that fillers aren't safe to use in other areas of the body, Zuckerman says. \"The mechanism that most injectables and dermal fillers work by is well understood, so off-label use is generally safe,\" he explains. But because the effects of the injectable on the anatomy of that particular area may have not been studied, it's even more important to see a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for off-label uses. \"It is key to undergo off-label treatment with someone who knows the anatomy of the area,\" Zuckerman says. \"A physician with surgical training all over the body is safest.\"\nFor more uses of hyaluronic acid injections:Kim Zolciak-Biermann Gets Hyaluronic Acid Fillers in Her Earlobes Because She Loves Heavy Earrings So MuchHyaluronic Acid Injections Could Actually Make Your Pores SmallerA New Hyaluronic Acid Injectable Could Make Your Skin More Radiant\nNow, watch a dermatologist explain lip injections:",

        "title": "When is Uber Liable for Accident Injuries?",
        "raw_content": "Posted on August 20, 2015 by Aman Shah\nAs Uber has grown into a ride-service behemoth, two particular challenges have emerged. One involves how Uber drivers should be classified for employment purposes. Are they employees of the billion-dollar company or just independent contractors? While this issue has important ramifications from an employment law and personal injury law standpoint, a related concern is whether Uber is liable for accident injuries caused by its drivers.\nOn New Year's Eve 2013, a child pedestrian was hit and killed by an Uber driver in San Francisco, prompting the public to question whether the company would accept liability on behalf of the actions of its driver. Uber responded by denying fault, arguing that the driver was not acting within the course and scope of his employment. Relying on the fact that the driver was without passengers and in between fares, the company stated that the driver's personal auto insurance policy should apply rather than Uber's million-dollar policy. Plaintiffs contended that because the driver was logged into the Uber app, he was essentially operating as an employee of the company regardless of whether he was carrying passengers. Ultimately, while the case was not decided by the courts, Uber implicitly accepted responsibility for the death by agreeing to a confidential settlement agreement with the family of the child.\nBut what about the argument Uber has so readily fashioned regarding the employment status of its drivers? Time and again, the company has argued that its drivers are independent contractors, not employees. Pointing to the flexibility of the job and drivers' use of their own vehicles, Uber has eschewed the label of \"employer\" and all of its associated responsibilities. While the debate as to Uber's employment status remains officially undecided, the California Labor Commission has chimed in with its opinion. A few months back, they ruled in favor of an Uber driver in her quest to be labeled an employee.\nUber, like many trailblazing business platforms that preceded it, is beginning to realize that innovation often comes with unexpected costs. Just how they adjust to these \"costs\" should be interesting to watch. For more information on auto injury claims, feel free to contact the Law Office of Aman N. Shah at 714-312-3974.",

        "raw_content": "Will Chapter 7 bankruptcy increase if health bill passes?\nOn behalf of Timothy Pletter of Ambrogio, Pletter & Associates, LLC posted in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy on Friday, June 30, 2017.\nMost Connecticut residents are aware that health care has become a primary area of focus for the new administration. In fact, the Senate is considering a revised health bill that has led to a great deal of debate. Some experts believe that if the bill should pass, then 15 million people could lose their Medicaid coverage. They go on to suggest that an increase in Chapter 7 bankruptcy could quickly follow.\nMedicaid currently covers nearly 74 million Americans who fall into the low-income bracket. That accounts for nearly a fifth of the population. Those folks already live under heavy financial strain. Losing access to their health care coverage could be the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.\nMany people connect the dots between medical debt and bankruptcy in terms of an unexpected illness or injury. A sudden loss of insurance coverage, however, can be just as disastrous of a situation. For people who require frequent doctor's visits or prescription drugs, losing their coverage could cause their expenses to rise exponentially, and virtually overnight. Most would not be able to absorb those increased expenses, but may also be unable to go without that care.\nThat would certainly be enough of a shift to push many low-income Americans over the brink and into personal bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help eliminate medical debt, which is why some believe that bankruptcy rates could rise if the new health bill is passed. Many people in Connecticut and across the nation are watching closely to see how the matter is resolved.\nSource: Time, \"The Senate Health Care Bill Could Lead to More Personal Bankruptcies\", Jennifer Calfas, June 26, 2017",

        "title": "Future Landmark Cases - Concurrent Jurisdiction",
        "raw_content": "Jurisdiction, Landmark Cases\nI\u2019ve talked about dual, or concurrent, USL&H/state act workers\u2019 compensation jurisdiction here several times, and most recently I discussed the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s landmark Sun Ship decision. This was the decision that established that the 1972 Amendments to the Longshore Act supplemented but did not supplant state workers\u2019 compensation laws, firmly establishing concurrent jurisdiction.\nI\u2019ve also listed the various \u201cconcurrent\u201d and \u201cexclusive\u201d states several times. Here is my unofficial list of the \u201cconcurrent\u201d states: AL, AK, CA, CT, DE, GA, IL, MA, ME (?), MI, MN, MO (?), NC, NY, RI, SC, TN, WV, WI. As you can see there are quite a few significant maritime states on the list.\nLet\u2019s renew the discussion of concurrent jurisdiction and take as our starting point the following assumptions, 1) concurrent USL&H/state act jurisdiction is a fact in many states, and, 2) concurrent jurisdiction is a problem for maritime employers.\nIt is self evident that having to comply with two different regulatory schemes for worker injuries entails inefficiencies and extra costs for the employer. For an American maritime industry that competes internationally in ship building/repair and cargo handling, it is not a stretch to say that concurrent jurisdiction increases costs and is a negative element in the competitive balance.\nNote: I know that section 3(e), added as part of the 1984 Amendments to the Longshore Act, states that, \u201c\u2026 any amounts paid to an employee for the same injury, disability, or death for which benefits are claimed under this Act pursuant to any other workers\u2019 compensation law \u2026 shall be credited against any liability imposed by this Act.\u201d\nThis credit provision doesn\u2019t begin to address the additional costs to the employer due to overhead, administration, and expense items, and sometimes even redundant benefits necessitated by concurrent jurisdiction.\nThis is a straightforward issue of federal preemption if the proper case can reach the U.S. Supreme Court. Unfortunately, the context for this issue is decades of jurisprudential confusion over the limits and scope of federal Admiralty authority as opposed to the authority of the individual states.\nLet\u2019s look at a very brief history.\n1789 \u2013 The U.S. Constitution recognizes the need for uniformity in certain areas so that national commerce can function without local interference, as expressed in the Admiralty Clause (Art. III, Sec. 2), the Interstate Commerce Clause (Art. I, Sec. 8), and the Supremacy Clause (Art. VII).\n1873 \u2013 The U.S. Supreme Court stated (referring to the Admiralty Clause in its decision in The Lottawanna, 88 U.S. 558):\n\u201cIt certainly could not have been the intention to place the rules and limits on maritime law under the disposal and regulation of the several States, that would have defeated the uniformity and consistency at which the Constitution aimed on all subjects of the commercial character effecting (sic) the intercourse of the States with each other or with foreign states.\u201d\n1910 \u2013 1920 \u2013 the states pass workers\u2019 compensation laws providing a remedy for workers injured in the course and scope of employment, in which the workers give up their right to sue for workplace injuries and accept a no fault statutory system of benefits.\n1917 \u2013 The U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Southern Pacific Co. v. Jensen, (244 U.S. 205) holds that the coverage of the new state workers\u2019 compensation laws stops at the water\u2019s edge This decision creates the \u201cJensen Line\u201d and in the process exposes a gap in workers\u2019 compensation protection for land based employees working over the water. The case involved a longshoreman injured on a gangplank over the water.\nFrom the Supreme Court in Jensen:\n\u201cArticle 3, 2, of the Constitution, extends the judicial power of the United States \u2018to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;\u2019 and article 1, 8, confers upon the Congress power \u2018to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States or in any department or officer thereof.\u2019 Considering our former opinions, it must now be accepted as settled doctrine that, in consequence of these provisions, Congress has paramount power to fix and determine the maritime law which shall prevail throughout the country\u201d (quoting from Butler v. Boston & S.S.S. Co., 130 U.S. 527).\nAlso from Jensen:\n\u201cIf New York can subject foreign ships coming into her ports to such obligations as those imposed by her Compensation Statute, other states may do likewise. The necessary consequence would be destruction of the very uniformity in respect to maritime matters which the Constitution was designed to establish; and freedom of navigation between the states and with foreign countries would be seriously hampered and impeded.\u201d\n1927 \u2013 In response to the Jensen decision, the Longshoremen\u2019s and Harbor Workers\u2019 Compensation Act is passed. It is a federal workers\u2019 compensation law which covers injuries occurring over the water or on a dry dock.\n1927 \u2013 1972 \u2013 a period of \u201cimpenetrable confusion\u201d ensues as the courts try to reconcile state act workers\u2019 compensation jurisdiction with the coverage of the federal Longshoremen\u2019s Act.\n1972 \u2013 Amendments to the Longshoremen\u2019s Act move coverage landward for employees engaged in maritime employment in certain enumerated sites and other adjoining areas customarily used for maritime employment.\n1980 \u2013 The Sun Ship decision by the U.S. Supreme Court confirms concurrent Longshore Act/state act jurisdiction. This case involved injuries on land to ship repair workers.\n1984 \u2013 When the Longshore Act is again amended Congress considers but fails to include language to end concurrent jurisdiction.\n2016 \u2013 Many states have amended their state insurance laws to create exclusive as opposed to concurrent jurisdiction. These amendments typically provide that if a worker is covered by the Longshore Act then he is not covered by the state act workers\u2019 compensation law. The problem of concurrent (dual) jurisdiction remains, however, in the many states that have not adopted these types of \u201cexclusive\u201d laws.\nNote: The Jensen decision is still good law. It has been ignored on occasion and marginalized on occasion but it has never been overruled.\nWhat we need is for a suitable case to somehow find its way to the U.S. Supreme Court so that the Court can reaffirm the Constitutional principle that for injuries over the water, whether to longshoremen, shipbuilders, ship repair workers, or any other workers for that matter, the Longshore Act preempts state workers\u2019 compensation laws. Period, End of sentence.\nThis will not be a complete resolution of the concurrent jurisdiction problem, but it will be a step in the right direction. The next step, to get the Supreme Court to overrule Sun Ship and uphold Longshore Act preemption in all cases involving maritime employment, will admittedly be more difficult. But there are valid preemption arguments in support of such a decision. The first step, however, is to get Jensen unequivocally reaffirmed.\nThis issue is in need of a landmark decision at the U.S. Supreme Court.",

        "raw_content": "AMERKS RALLY IN THE THIRD FOR COMEBACK WIN OVER WOLF PACK\n(Hartford, CT) \u2026 As the Rochester Americans (11-4-2-0) entered the final period of Sunday\u2019s matinee against the Hartford Wolf Pack (7-9-1-2), they faced a two-goal deficit in the final game of their first three-in-three of the season. However, when the final horn sounded, it was the Amerks who came away with a 4-3 come-from-behind win at the XL Center thanks to three third-period goals.\nWith the victory, the Amerks have earned 24 out of a possible 28 points in the last 14 contests and have won six of their last nine games overall to build a five-point lead over the Cleveland Monsters for the top spot in the AHL\u2019s North Division.\nDefensemen Lawrence Pilut and Zach Redmond, who scored his sixth game-winning goal of the season, each posted a two-point performance (1+1) while rookie forward Rasmus Asplund turned in his first-career multi-point outing with a goal and an assist. Danny O\u2019Regan also found the back of the net to complete the scoring for Rochester while goaltender Adam Wilcox improved to 5-1-1 on the season as he stopped 35 of 38 shots he faced.\nThe Wolf Pack, who came into the contest with points in six of their last seven games, were led by forwards Cole Schneider, Peter Holland and Gabriel Fontaine as they all scored in the loss for Hartford. Netminder Marek Mazanec finished the game with 24 saves but was handed his fifth loss of the season as he now has a record of 4-5-2 in 11 appearances this season for Hartford.\nWith the score of 3-2 in favor of the Wolf Pack, Schneider slipped behind the Amerks defensemen and was sprung all alone towards Wilcox for the second time of the game with 6:26 left in regulation. Much like the Amerks goaltender did prior to the end of the middle period, he stonewalled the former Amerk to keep the home squad off the board, thus giving Rochester a chance of a comeback.\nJust 2:01 after the timely save from Wilcox, O\u2019Regan knotted the score at 3-3 as he buried Asplund\u2019s rebound past the blocker of Mazanec at the 15:36 mark. The game-tying goal was O\u2019Regan\u2019s sixth marker of the season with the assists going to Asplund and Will Borgen.\nThe Amerks kept testing Mazanec during the third period to avoid overtime and were awarded for their work when Redmond fired the puck behind the netminder as he was stationed along the left corner of the offensive zone.\nRedmond\u2019s tally with 4:24 left in regulation was his team-leading 12th of the season and held up as his league-leading sixth game-winning goal.\nPilut, who extended his point streak to eight games with his two-point effort, and Justin Bailey were awarded the assists on Redmond\u2019s goal. Pilut is tied for the league-lead with 22 points (3+19) in his first 15 games while his 19 helpers are most in the AHL.\nHartford made one final effort to force the extra frame as they were awarded a penalty late in the contest when the Amerks were whistled for a delay of game infraction and pulled Mazanec, but Rochester hung on to preserve the come-from-behind win.\nDespite the two clubs combining for 23 shots on goal in the first 20 minutes of play, Holland gave the Wolf Pack a 1-0 lead as he finished a 2-on-1 odd-man rush 9:50 into the contest.\nRochester emerged from the intermission break down a goal, but Asplund netted his first-career American Hockey League goal just 1:45 into the second stanza as he fired a shot past the glove-hand of the netminder. Victor Olofsson, who had missed the previous three games due to injury, forced a turnover inside the Amerks zone before sending his fellow Swedish countryman in all alone on Mazanec.\nLater in the frame after the Amerks had evened the score at 1-1, the Wolf Pack responded with a pair of tallies six minutes apart to take a two-goal lead into the second intermission before Rochester countered with three straight unanswered third-period goals.\nThe third-period comeback began with Alexander Nylander collecting his own rebound along the right half-wall less than six minutes into the final frame. Nylander spotted Redmond parked at the top of the point, and after dusting off the pass, Redmond set-up Pilut for a one-time feed, which snuck through traffic and into the back of the net at the 5:28 mark.\nRochester returns from the Thanksgiving break with back-to-back games, beginning on Friday, Nov. 23 as the Utica Comets make their first trip of the season to The Blue Cross Arena. Game time is slated for a 7:05 p.m. start and will be carried live on The Sports Leader AM 950/ 95.7 FM ESPN Rochester as well as AHLTV.\nROC: Asplund (1), Pilut (3), O\u2019Regan (6), Redmond (12 \u2013 GWG)\nHFD: Holland (2), Fontaine (2), Schneider (6)\nHFD: Mazanec \u2013 24/28 (L)\n2.

        "raw_content": "Knowing Your Heating Options\nIndeed, we know that heating your home is not always a top priority in sunny San Diego, but it\u2019s still something you\u2019ll have to consider for your family\u2019s comfort. Of course, those sunny, warm days aren\u2019t always a guarantee and some of us have been known to wimp out when it gets below 60 degrees. Granted, central heating and air are not always a home staple \u2014 and for a family on a budget, these expenses might seem like a luxury rather than a necessity.\nLuckily, we\u2019re here to let you know that central heat isn\u2019t always the only option. In fact, if you\u2019re looking for affordable warmth, here are three options to keep in mind:\nSo, what exactly sets a heat pump apart from the rest? Well, while most heating systems run on fuel, a heat pump works by transferring heat to your home. To further elaborate, warm air is pulled from the outside of your home and is circulated (in tanks) to coils containing extremely cold liquid refrigerant. Next, when the air passes over the coils, it is then warmed, producing that desired heat. Another benefit to investing in a heat pump? The process can be reversed making it a great option in the summer, too.\nOpt for Ductless\nAnother option that is perfect year round is a ductless system also known as a mini-split. This easy and quick-to-install unit is one of the best ways to keep individual rooms in your home or maybe a workshop or add-on rec room evenly heated and cooled. Indeed, ductless systems can be installed without any disruption to your normal home life. The main benefit of these units is the level of control. Since the units are individually placed in each room, you aren\u2019t wasting energy heating or cooling an unoccupied room.\nUpgrade Your Thermostat\nFact: your thermostat plays a big role in the quality of your heating. Certainly, if you are still living with an outdated, non-digital thermostat, then it might be worth it to invest in an upgrade.\nToday\u2019s modern thermostats can be controlled directly from your mobile phone. Not only can you control your home\u2019s temperature from any room, but you can also set up a pattern to allow heat to automatically adjust based on the time of day. Not only is this convenient, but it\u2019s also a great way to save on your energy bill, too. Say hello to the perfect home temperature!\nLooking for the most efficient way to heat your home on a budget? The pros here at Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air can help you out and ensure your home is ready for the chilly San Diego temperatures that lie ahead! You can also find our full heating options",

        "title": "OPPO R17 Pro Review - Eye-Catching Beauty | Android Headlines",
        "raw_content": "OPPO R17 Pro Review - Eye-Catching Beauty\nThere\u2019s no denying the same DNA runs through both OPPO\u2019s R series and the same-generation OnePlus flagship, but OPPO is looking to further differentiate its latest smartphone with a few eye-catching ways. The most obvious difference between this and the OnePlus 6T, which shares an identical body design, is the brilliant color-shifting present on the fogged-glass back. OPPO isn\u2019t going for boring with this phone, that\u2019s for sure, and the purple-to-teal gradient is sure to not only catch the eye of plenty as you use your phone daily but it sure to get plenty of second glances of your own as you regularly take it out of your pocket or bag. The design and color scheme of the OPPO R17 Pro is nothing short of stunning, and it does so while being unique and sleek as well. It\u2019s a metal and glass sandwich, like many smartphones are nowadays, so while it\u2019s going to be more fragile than the metal phones of yesteryear, OPPO includes a case and screen protector in the box for protection without having to buy anything additional.\nWhile there\u2019s no wireless charging on this phone, OPPO has built-in its own proprietary Super VOOC technology that debuted with Summer 2018\u2019s OPPO Find X Lamborghini Edition. This ultra-fast charging technology is sure to blow minds as it will charge the phone to 40% in a whopping 10 minutes and continue to charge near this rate until the phone\u2019s battery is full. Packing in dual 1,850mAh batteries, the R17 Pro utilizes the included Super VOOC charger to fully charge the phone in under half an hour, meaning no matter how low your battery is, a few minutes\u2019 charge will absolutely get you through the rest of the day, without question. This makes the R17 Pro the fastest charging phone on the market next to the special edition of the Find X Lamborghini edition with the added advantage that it\u2019s \u2153 the price of that phone.\nOPPO is also upping its camera game with the R17 Pro, including higher quality optics and sensors than ever, as well as a brand new Time-of-Flight (TOF) 3D camera. The R17 Pro is the first camera in the industry with a TOF 3D camera, which is a new type of camera that\u2019s designed specifically to read depth information on objects. The implications for TOF cameras are wide-ranging, and Sony themselves is even very excited about the future of such sensors, as they can provide significant benefits when it comes to better and more accurate focusing, more accurate portrait mode-style shots, and the ability to better use AR functionality in all apps and services. For the time being, however, OPPO is only utilizing the TOF camera for scanning real-world objects and turning them into custom 3D virtual objects on the phone. This use is super limited, to say the least, and while it\u2019s amazing to see such innovative technology on a phone that doesn\u2019t cost an arm and a leg, the actual implementation is very weak.\nThe rest of the camera experience is nothing short of incredible though, something that\u2019s owed both to excellent hardware and software. OPPO includes a fantastic 25-megapixel camera up front in the new teardrop notch, which is a smaller notch than ever, and this camera does a phenomenal job of creating quality selfie shots in any lighting condition. Per usual, the rear cameras are more of a showcase for quality though, particularly because OPPO is utilizing the same amazing dual-aperture technology that Samsung includes on their high-end Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note 9 phones. The main 12-megapixel camera already includes some nice and large 1.4-micron sized pixels, but the ability to move between f/1.5 for low light and f/2.4 for good lighting is a blessing all around. Lower f-stop lenses are known for their distortion, particularly on smaller smartphone lenses where things look blurry or out of focus the closer you get to the edge of the image.\nThe ability to choose f/2.4 automatically or manually for any given scene means you can get, essentially, distortion-free photos, and the phone can move to the lower f/1.5 to suck in considerably more light when needed at the expense of a bit of distortion. Typically, lower light scenes won\u2019t show distortion as well, which means this f/1.5 lens will be far more of a positive point than a negative one. In addition to having a lens and sensor that takes excellent low-light shots in auto mode, OPPO is introducing a new Night Mode with the R17 Pro, one that works more like Google\u2019s Night Sight mode than Huawei\u2019s Night Mode. This means that OPPO\u2019s method will work well in super low light shots when movement exists, while some other manufacturer\u2019s methods utilize long exposure shots, which end up creating blur in areas of movement.\nThe biggest downsides to the OPPO R17 Pro include the lack of a 3.5mm audio jack on the device, lack of wireless charging, and vibration motors that don\u2019t feel as high-quality as ones from companies like Samsung, LG, or Google. It also doesn\u2019t ship with the latest version of Android, if that\u2019s of any particular concern, but OPPO typically does a good job of keeping up with security updates on a quarterly basis. As of this writing, the phone was on the October 2018 patch, and a big update is scheduled for the end of January, which is going to bring the TOF camera scanning functionality, as well as newer security updates. While the idea of being behind on a major version of Android is a concern to some folks, most OEMs provide their own versions of Android that are considerably more feature-rich than Google\u2019s base version. OPPO\u2019s own ColorOS 5.2 brings with it a handful of new features, a minor visual refresh and plenty of speed along the way, so it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll be missing anything noteworthy from Android 9 Pie in the meantime.\nOPPO is pricing the R17 Pro higher than the sister OnePlus 6T flagship in all markets its sold in, yet it seemingly features a less powerful processor on-board than that phone. The reality is that, in real-world situations, there\u2019s no palpable difference between the performance of the Snapdragon 710 inside the R17 Pro and the Snapdragon 845 in other flagship phones released in 2018. Benchmark results will, of course, show otherwise, but the 1080p+ resolution of the screen keeps processing down when compared to higher resolution displays, and the 8GB of RAM means multi-tasking won\u2019t feel any worse or slower than what you\u2019d experience on a more powerful phone. OPPO also makes up for the cost with the inclusion of the fastest charging in the land, some of the best cameras on the market, regardless of price, and tons of great features in ColorOS.\nBuy OPPO R17 Pro on Amazon\nNext Page - R17 Pro Camera Review\nChinese SmartphonesReviews",

        "raw_content": "The fear of the counterfeiting of postage stamps made for a large number of Nineteenth Century printers' trade offs. The gold standard of anti-counterfeiting technology was line engraved (called intaglio) printing, which, for a special anti-forgery bonus, usually included lathe work. This type of printing rose off the paper and produced a fineness of design that didn't make counterfeiting impossible but made it more difficult and raised the cost (both in time and expertise) to the forgers considerably. Producing line engraved stamps is similar to putting a burglar alarm sign on your front lawn or using the Club in your car. Raising the cost and risk to\nIt is a love of stamps that takes the collecting impulse that is found in many of us and transforms the person into an ardent philatelist. The collector reads all he can about the hobby and, in the typical trajectory, goes from a more general type of collecting to specializing. The philatelic experience involves searching (dealers stocks, Ebay, the internet, philatelic auctions) in the hopes of finding items that are just right for your collection within the structure that you have used to define your collection, (US Fancy Cancels, German Pneumatic Post or whatever).\nCounterintuitively, the very needs and skills that make collecting such a pleasurable experience tend to mitigate against turning your hobby into your profession. Collectors spend enjoyable hours searching for material that is just right for their collections. Dealers who duplicate that process for acquiring stock find that their inventory is too sparse and too specialized. The great pleasure in\nPerhaps because philately is a discipline without an academic footing, little attempt has ever been made to compare the gr\nPhilately has always been a cold weather hobby. Its popularity nation to nation and region to region has always increased south to north with the highest concentrations of serious collectors where it is the coldest and darkest. The reasons are clear- a warm cup of hot chocolate, a stamp album and some new additions to mount are a nice way to spend a cold a blustery winter's evening. There are other reasons too-paper doesn't keep so well in warm sticky climates and literacy and reading rates which are good predictors of philatelic interest are higher in northern countries. And we see collector rates getting higher and higher the further from the equator that we move. Philately has always been a major hobby in Scandinavia but even within countries the rate of stamp collecting increases as you move from the warmer parts of the country to the colder. In Germany, probably the most philatelically\nToday was a more or less typical day. I had nine smaller collections to work on. These were stamp groups that had been sent to our office by collectors and which we had purchased. The first was a mixed quality United States group sent by a life long collector who was pruning some of the poorer quality stamps that he had bought when he was a younger collector to create funds to upgrade the quality of his stamps. The next group I worked on was some better US that the owner was selling to get some money for a vacation that he and his wife wanted to take. The third was a small group of French stampless covers that the owner didn't know where he had gotten, but they probably came in an old auction lot that he had purchase long ago and they didn't fit in with anything that he currently collected. Another collection was a seventeen volume expanded Harris worldwide collection with over 100,000 different stamps in it and that the owner had laboriously cataloged and inventoried to the\nMorton Paul Goldfarb\nThe stamp dealers of the older generation had a fair number of odd characters but none were odder than Morton Paul Goldfarb. Mort, as everyone called him, went to every auction, every stamp show and no matter where you went, you were sure to see him too. Mort specialized in the stamps of the United Nations and only UN. There aren't many better UN stamps in which to deal and Mort made a specialty out of buying and selling UN postage. The United Nations postal agency is really not a post office at all. UN stamps are souvenirs and the UN maintains a Post Office as kind of a postal fiction. All letters deposited at the UN Post Office are turned over to the United States Post Office which is required by Congress to handle UN deposited mail. It is another US subsidy of the UN. The USPS provides the service and the UN gets the revenue for the sale of the postage.\nBut to make the burden on the United State Post Office less, the UN has always restricted how their Post Offic\nStamps collectors too fall into these broad categories. Many are one one country or one specialty collectors and they spend significant time and money creating fine collections of their area. The rewards for this kind of collecting temperament is the sense of accomplishment that comes from devoting all your energies to one goal and attaining that goal to the best of your abilities. But the other model for collecting, where you have multiple areas of interest, and move back and forth depending on mood works well too. And collectors of many differing areas find that t\nThe Effect of the Election on Philately\nMany people have very strong political opinions. Their positions seem reasonable and well reasoned to them and they have trouble understanding how any thoughtful person could come up with a different opinion. Even people with less strong views on the issue of whether or not our society is going to come to an end if one or the other party gets into (or continues in power) get hyped up near election time. Its hard not to have a choice in the Super Bowl, even if you are not a football fan.\nI have reviewed stamp auction realizations, society membership rolls, magazine subscriptions and the collective memories and wisdom (such as it is) of philatelic old timers and am happy to let you know that you can vote your conscience next month. There is no association between either a Democratic or Republican victory in Presidential elections that seems to have any effect on our hobby. The popularity of philately ebbs and flows but as far as I can make out the rat\nCoin collecting has been dominated over the last fifty years by third party grading issues to the point where few serious numismatists buy non-graded coins. Eager grading services have tried to push into philately hoping to enlarge their fee base. So far it hasn't worked. Some collectors have become enamored of graded stamps but most think that it is inconvenient and costly. There are several reasons why third party grading is popular for coins and why it has largely failed in philately, despite two separate, (one in the late 70's and the other a few years ago) highly promoted, and well funded grading service attempts to make it stick. Third party grading has created change\nThe degree of difficulty of a philatelic specialty is determined by three components. First is the intrinsic scarcity of the material, second the cost involved, and third the number of specialized striations into which the field has been separated. Scarcity and cost are related. Scarcity is an intrinsic value related to the amount of material that is available to collectors. It is derived from the numbers that were printed and more importantly the numbers that were saved and have been passed down to stamp collectors. Cost relates to how that intrinsic scarcity interacts with demand. Honduras has many very rare stamps that sell for only a few dollars. Great Britain have m\nThere are three things that every collector should do to maximize the return that they receive for their stamps when they go to sell, and I will address them in ascending order of importance. First, it is very important to have some figures on your stamp collection. Do you have records of how much you spent? If so, add them up. If not, make a fair estimate based on the amount you felt like you spent per year over the years, making allowance for the years that your collecting was dormant. Most collectors won't get back the full amount that they spent, but at least this will give you some basis to judge how much your collection is worth. If you can catalog the collection by a recent year of the Scott catalog, it is a good idea to do so. Collections generally sell at low percentages of Scott value but they do sell at percentages, and this is a way to evaluate the offers that you receive. Further, it lets you contact dealers in an informed way and&nbs\nCuba is one of the few philatelic areas that has quadruple specialist appeal. Before 1898 Cuba was a Spanish Colony, and there are over a hundred different stamps that were issued by Spain for use in their colony including the first issues which are interesting because they were issued for use in both the Philippines and in Cuba. Mint stamps of these issues are are identical; they can only be told apart by cancellation when they are used.

Modern technology though seems to have solved the problems of the devastation of two of these. In the last two centuries over 100 million people have died in famines. But fertilization, irrigation and genetic engineering have today made famine more of a byproduct of war than a primary killer. And infectious disease, after killing hundreds of millions throughout history, has largely been defeated. But war still kills millions each decade, and in the nuclear age we are always just a few poor Presidential decisions away from complete annihilation.\nBut wars make for great philately.

I wrote several weeks ago about auctions versus direct sale. This new article adds to the discussion by referencing several psychological studies. The question that was being addressed was whether people got better deals buying at auction versus direct sale and, if they didn't, why.\nWhen people bid at auction they seem to get as good, if not better, prices than they would if they bought their stamps directly if they limit their bid to what they believe that the lot is worth. Most importantly, to get the best price do not attend the auction, either in person on on line. It seems that competitive pressures and a feeling that if someone else wants something that you wan\nThe engine of philatelic popularity and growth over the 170 or so years that philately has been a hobby has traditionally been the stamps of Central Europe-Germany and its numerous component areas, Switzerland, Austria and to a lesser extent Liechtenstein. In 1930 there were probably as many serious German collectors as there were in the rest of the world combined. The numbers are dwindling as young German Swiss and Austrian children are being drawn to their computer games and away from hobbies in general. This means there will be a vast and growing overhang of Central European stamps on the market in the coming years, and it is hard to see where there will be eno",

        "raw_content": "The Best Public Topiary Gardens\nLooking for a stroll through magnificently manicured landscapes? Peruse our picks of amazing public topiary gardens\nPhoto courtesy of Levens Hall & Gardens, Kendal, Cumbria, England\nLocated in England\u2019s famously picturesque Lake District, Levens Hall boasts the world\u2019s oldest topiary garden still surviving in its original design. Dating back to 1694, the topiaries reflect the late-17th-century taste for clipping trees and shrubs into abstract masses or geometric forms. Huge yew and beech hedges create garden rooms (state rooms, really), and parterres are punctuated with towering top-hatted shapes seeming to totter on a single trunk. The garden also includes an orchard, a nuttery for growing beechnuts and walnuts, and a bowling green.\n011-44-15395-60321; levenshall.co.uk\nPhoto: Ray Biggs\nDrummond Castle and grounds were established in Perthshire, Scotland, in 1490. The tower house remains largely intact, but the gardens have been substantially changed over the centuries. Today there is some back-and-forth over the authenticity of the grounds (restored or re-created?), but most agree that they represent a grand 17th-century Scottish garden. The parterre, with its low clipped embroidery hedges, is in the shape of a large St. Andrew\u2019s cross\u2014geometric topiary forms being all the rage in the latter part of the 1600s. The regimentation of the layout is leavened with the addition of leaning topiary trees that lend an impish, Harry Potter\u2013ish charm. These tipsy towers accentuate the long views from the garden, across verdant fields to distant hillsides.\n011-44-1764-681433; drummondcastlegardens.co.uk\nPhoto: Laugery-Bordeaux and courtesy of Les Jardins de Marqueyssac-Dordogne-France\nAfter you have eaten all the foie gras and truffles you can during your visit to the P\u00e9rigord region of France, consider a postprandial visit to Marqueyssac. The original garden was created in the 19th century and enhanced when a new owner, Julien de Cerval, acquired the property and made it his life\u2019s work. In 1861, De Cerval began laying out a dreamy topiary garden on a hill high above the Dordogne River. He spent the next 30 years overseeing 150,000 boxwoods groomed to mimic the surrounding hills of the Dordogne Valley or, when viewed from above, the backs of grazing sheep. This might be the most relaxing garden in France. Even the garden\u2019s website evokes twilight thoughts of peaceful slumber: Gaze at the count-the-sheep topiaries, or just listen to crickets and snipping shears.\n011-33-5533-13636; marqueyssac.com\nPhoto courtesy of National Trust/David Watson\nThe house at Cliveden, originally built by the second duke of Buckingham in 1666 as a retreat for entertaining friends and his mistress, was rebuilt twice after fires in 1795 and 1849. Overlooking the Thames in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, the palatial house and its extensive gardens were reimagined again in 1893 as an Italianate masterpiece by William Waldorf Astor, the first Viscount Astor. An avid fan of the Renaissance, Viscount Astor purchased the grand balustrade from the Villa Borghese in Rome and moved it to Cliveden to enhance his garden viewing. He also added the Long Garden\u2014planted with topiary corkscrews, pyramids, and peacocks, which were once again popular during that period in garden design. Stately parterres bedded with blocks of color also feature mature yew topiaries resembling Fisher-Price stackable toys. In 1942, Cliveden was given to the National Trust and substantially replanted and restored. The most recent update is a one-third-acre maze of 1,100 clipped yews. Don\u2019t worry about wandering endlessly inside the towering labyrinth: A Maze Keeper is on duty to make sure visitors eventually find their way out.\n*011-44-1628-605069; Opening hours are listed on a weekly basis at nationaltrust.org.uk/cliveden\nPhoto courtesy of Ladew Gardens Staff Photos\nWhen you find yourself caught in the seemingly endless tedium of Interstate 95 around Baltimore, take an off-ramp to the wonderful topiary gardens created by Harvey S. Ladew. A bon vivant born during New York\u2019s Gilded Age and a famous cutup, Ladew (1887\u20131976) purchased a Maryland farm, later developed 22 acres of it for a garden, and then decided to do all the landscaping and garden planning himself. A sporting gent, Ladew often rode to the hounds during visits to England, which inspired his not-to-be-missed topiary hunting scenes complete with fox and hounds bounding across lawns and horses and riders clearing fences in pursuit. In another garden area, Ladew\u2019s huge oval swimming pool is surrounded by wavelike topiary hedges topped with green swimming swans. Ladew was able to infuse his rooted-to-the-earth sculptures with a sense of motion that is unique in this arena of garden design.\n410-557-9466; ladewgardens.com\nPhoto courtesy of Longwood Gardens/L. Albee\nLocated 30 miles from Philadelphia, Longwood Gardens was deemed by Geoffrey Jellicoe, founding president of the International Federation of Landscape Architects, to be \u201cone of the truly outstanding American estates.\u201d Established and organized largely by Pierre du Pont in the early 20th century, the property originally belonged to founder of the Province of Pennsylvania William Penn. Penn sold it to a fellow Quaker named George Peirce who shared his curiosity and reverence for plants and the natural world. The Peirce family established an arboretum there and when the land came up for sale in 1906, Du Pont purchased it largely to save the trees. After traveling the world and visiting many famous gardens, Du Pont settled down at Longwood to begin building his own extensive gardens. Influenced by European topiary art, he established a garden of yews clipped into geometric forms and the shapes of animals and even a table and chair. Today the garden contains more than 50 topiary trees.\n610-388-1000; longwoodgardens.org\nPhoto: Nik Wheeler/Alamy\nGreen Animals is a garden that the children will especially love. Following the European Renaissance tradition of creating furry shapes in clipped trees and shrubs, Green Animals features a menagerie of adorable creatures. Located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, on a hill overlooking Narragansett Bay, this topiary masterpiece features teddy bears, an elephant, an ostrich, a unicorn, and more than 75 additional forms of green fauna. The property was originally the summer home of Thomas Brayton, treasurer of the Union Cotton Manufacturing Company, and his family; it was the head gardener who began clipping and experimenting with topiary forms in the first decades of the 20th century. Brayton\u2019s daughter Alice eventually took over the property in 1940 and renamed it Green Animals. By 1947, the garden had achieved such renown that a young Jacqueline Bouvier had her debutante party there, and today it is owned by the Preservation Society of Newport County. If you are so inclined, your little ones can attend the annual Green Animals children\u2019s party\u2014along with a thousand other people.\n401-847-1000; newportmansions.org\nPhoto: Nic Barlow\nThis eccentric garden was begun in 1941 in Santa Barbara, California, by Ganna Walska (1887\u20131984), a much-married Polish opera singer whose motto was: \u201cI\u2019m an enemy of the average.\u201d Some areas of the gardens have blue slag glass recycled from the Los Angeles\u2013based Arrowhead Spring Water factory lining the pathways, but despite these flights of fancy, the plant collection at Lotusland\u2014numbering more than 3,000 specimens\u2014is quite serious. Walska began her topiary collection in 1958, but 40 years later it was in such decline that the remaining frames were removed. In 2001, the topiaries were replaced and today 26 new animals create a green topiary circus. This is a public garden in a private residential area and visits are arranged by appointment.\n805-969-9990; lotusland.org\nPhoto courtesy of Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden Inc.\nPearl Fryar\u2019s garden in Bishopville, South Carolina, is an ongoing work of contemporary horticultural art. Fryar began creating his topiaries in the 1980s as he rescued trees and shrubs that local nurseries had thrown away. He planted these sickly orphans on his suburban property and, in the process of nursing them back to health, started shaping them into abstract forms. The plants prospered under his care and, unlike other topiary gardens with clipped forms appearing almost exclusively in yew, box, or privet, Fryar\u2019s topiaries are shaped from more than 50 different trees and shrubs. Today Fryar welcomes visitors to his whimsical garden, and he now lectures nationwide on topiary. His garden, containing more than 300 plants, has received international acclaim and preservation plans are in place with the Garden Conservancy and the Friends of Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden.\n803-484-5581; pearlfryar.com\nExploredecor",

        "raw_content": "University of Arkansas enters deal with Panama\nWASHINGTON \u2013 The University of Arkansas on Friday signed a formal pledge to assist the Panama Ministry of Agriculture over the next five years.\nMark Cochran, vice president for agriculture at the UA System, said the deal would re-energize a 60-year relationship between Fayetteville and the Central American nation.\n\"We are looking to foster cultural and educational activity,\" he told reporters during a telephone call that followed the signing ceremony in Panama City.\nJoining Cochran at the ceremony were three members of the Arkansas congressional delegation \u2013 Sen. John Boozman, Sen. Mark Pryor and Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Jonesboro, on a three-day trade mission to Panama and Columbia.\nBefore the signing ceremony, the three lawmakers and Cochran had lunch with Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli. The meeting lasted about two hours with Martinelli regaling the group with stories from his college days in Fayetteville. Martinelli is a 1973 graduate. Boozman was also there between 1969 and 1973 but did not graduate from the school.\n\"It was kind of like old times in the sense he was at the University of Arkansas when I was there,\" Boozman said.\nPryor, a 1985 graduate, noted that Martinelli remains a steadfast Razorback fan, and brought them to his office to show off a Razorback football helmet that he keeps as a souvenir.\n\"It was really a great meal and he is a very personable, charming individual,\" said Crawford, who graduated from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro.\nThe relationship between Panama and the University of Arkansas dates back to 1951 when the Fayetteville land-grant institution was the first in the nation to assemble an agricultural foreign mission.\nBetween 1951 and 1956, 24 people from the school traveled to Panama to help establish a similar teaching, research and extension program there.\nThere are 74 Panamanians now enrolled on the Fayetteville campus.\nCochran said that the agreement signed Friday should lead to a closer relationship between the school and Panama, including more student and faculty exchanges.\nMike Vayda, the dean of the Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences in Fayetteville, said the relationship should provide a \"great opportunity\" to expand internship programs, particularly within the school\u2019s hospitality program.\nDan Hendrix and Herbert Morales from the Arkansas World Trade Center in Rogers were also at the signing ceremony in Panama City.\n\"We think this is a great day for Arkansas trade,\" Hendrix said.\nNeither Panama nor Columbia makes Arkansas\u2019s list of top 25 trading partners, according to the U.S. Census. But, Hendrix said there are opportunities for growth. Earlier this year, the Center brought representatives from nine Arkansas businesses to a regional trade show held in Panama. Several of the businesses placed orders, he said.\nDuring the luncheon, Crawford said he also had an opportunity to speak with the Panamanian minister of agriculture, who was seated beside him. Cochran served as a translator for the pair.\n\"There are some great opportunities here for Arkansas,\" Crawford said.\nCongress last year ratified free trade agreements with Panama and Columbia. Those agreements will lower tariffs now paid on American goods exported to those nations, which should help boost trade.\nPanama has a growing economy and is also in the process of widening the Panama Canal so that larger container ships from Asia can pass through to ports on the East Coast. The project is expected to be completed in 2014.\n\"I\u2019m excited about the huge expansion of the Panama Canal. It is really going to change the way freight is moving in our country,\" Boozman said.",

More than 1,000 kids die of the disease every year.\nThe survey asked about the smoking habits of both parents.\nMilne and her colleagues compared these families to the families of more than 800 children of similar ages who did not have leukemia.\nThey found that the mothers' smoking behavior had no impact on the kids' risk of developing the cancer.\nBut kids whose fathers smoked at all around the time of their conception were 15 per cent more likely to develop leukemia. Those whose dads smoked at least 20 cigarettes per day around that time were 44 per cent more likely to be diagnosed with the cancer.\nA 15 per cent increase in the risk of ALL would increase the number of cases from six out of every 200,000 children to seven out of every 200,000.\nOf the nine earlier reports that the researchers used in their comparison with the current study, six of them also found an increased risk.\nThe findings make sense, Buffler said. \"Tobacco smoke is full of toxins,\" including carcinogens, she said, \"so it's not unlikely that you'd have damage\" in the cells that produce sperm.\n\"Sperm containing DNA (damage) can still reach and fertilize an ovum, which may lead to disease in the offspring,\" Milne wrote in an email to Reuters Health.\nThe study did not prove that DNA damage in the sperm caused by smoking is responsible for the children's increased risk of cancer.\n\"The causes of ALL are likely to be multifactorial, and our findings relate to just one of the possible contributing factors,\" said Milne.\nShe added that her results are not intended to be used to place blame or make parents feel guilty.\nSeveral other environmental factors are also tied to a greater chance of developing childhood leukemia, including ionizing radiation such as x-rays and the mother's exposure to paint or pesticides while pregnant.\nMilne said that many of the studies regarding these potential causes have been small, and not conclusive.\nBuffler is leading an international consortium of researchers tracking thousands of cases of childhood leukemia to determine the influence of environmental, genetic and other biological factors on developing the disease.",

Flynn filed a brief for the United States as amicus curiae.\nJUSTICE BRENNAN announced the judgment of the Court and delivered an opinion, in which JUSTICE MARSHALL, JUSTICE BLACKMUN, and JUSTICE STEVENS join.\nAnn Hopkins was a senior manager in an office of Price Waterhouse when she was proposed for partnership in 1982. She was neither offered nor denied admission to the partnership; instead, her candidacy was held for reconsideration the following year. When the partners in her office later refused to repropose her for partnership, she sued Price Waterhouse under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 78 Stat. 253, as amended, 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 2000e et seq., charging that the firm had discriminated against her on the basis of sex in its decisions regarding partnership. Judge Gesell in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia ruled in her favor on the question of liability, 618 F. Supp. 1109 (1985), and the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed. 263 U. S. App. D. C. 321, 825 F. 2d 458 (1987). We granted certiorari to resolve a conflict among the Courts of Appeals concerning the respective burdens of proof of a defendant and plaintiff in a suit under Title VII when it has been shown that an employment decision resulted from a mixture of legitimate and illegitimate motives. 485 U. S. 933 (1988).\nAt Price Waterhouse, a nationwide professional accounting partnership, a senior manager becomes a candidate for partnership when the partners in her local office submit her name as a candidate. All of the other partners in the firm are then invited to submit written comments on each candidate \u2014 either on a \u201clong\u201d or a \u201cshort\u201d form, depending on the partner\u2019s degree of exposure to the candidate. Not every partner in the firm submits comments on every candidate. After reviewing the comments and interviewing the partners who submitted them, the firm\u2019s Admissions Committee makes a recommendation to the Policy Board. This recommendation will be either that the firm accept the candidate for partnership, put her application on \u201chold,\u201d or deny her the promotion outright. The Policy Board then decides whether to submit the candidate\u2019s name to the entire partnership for a vote, to \u201chold\u201d her candidacy, or to reject her. The recommendation of the Admissions Committee, and the decision of the Policy Board, are not controlled by fixed guidelines: a certain number of positive comments from partners will not guarantee a candidate\u2019s admission to the partnership, nor will a specific quantity of negative comments necessarily defeat her application. Price Waterhouse places no limit on the number of persons whom it will admit to the partnership in any given year.\nAnn Hopkins had worked at Price Waterhouse\u2019s Office of Government Services in Washington, D. C., for five years when the partners in that office proposed her as a candidate for partnership. Of the 662 partners at the firm at that time, 7 were women. Of the 88 persons proposed for partnership that year, only 1 \u2014 Hopkins \u2014 was a woman. Forty-seven of these candidates were admitted to the partnership, 21 were rejected, and 20 \u2014 including Hopkins \u2014 were \u201cheld\u201d for reconsideration the following year.[1] Thirteen of the 32 partners who had submitted comments on Hopkins supported her bid for partnership. Three partners recommended that her candidacy be placed on hold, eight stated that they did not have an informed opinion about her, and eight recommended that she be denied partnership.\nIn a jointly prepared statement supporting her candidacy, the partners in Hopkins\u2019 office showcased her successful 2-year effort to secure a $25 million contract with the Department of State, labeling it \u201can outstanding performance\u201d and one that Hopkins carried out \u201cvirtually at the partner level.\u201d Plaintiff\u2019s Exh. 15. Despite Price Waterhouse\u2019s attempt at trial to minimize her contribution to this project, Judge Gesell specifically found that Hopkins had \u201cplayed a key role in Price Waterhouse\u2019s successful effort to win a multi-million dollar contract with the Department of State.\u201d 618 F. Supp., at 1112. Indeed, he went on, \u201c[n]one of the other partnership candidates at Price Waterhouse that year had a comparable record in terms of successfully securing major contracts for the partnership.\u201d Ibid.\nThe partners in Hopkins\u2019 office praised her character as well as her accomplishments, describing her in their joint statement as \u201can outstanding professional\u201d who had a \u201cdeft touch,\u201d a \u201cstrong character, independence and integrity.\u201d Plaintiff\u2019s Exh. 15. Clients appear to have agreed with these assessments. At trial, one official from the State Department described her as \u201cextremely competent, intelligent,\u201d \u201cstrong and forthright, very productive, energetic and creative.\u201d Tr. 150. Another high-ranking official praised Hopkins\u2019 decisiveness, broadmindedness, and \u201cintellectual clarity\u201d; she was, in his words, \u201ca stimulating conversationalist.\u201d Id., at 156-157. Evaluations such as these led Judge Gesell to conclude that Hopkins \u201chad no difficulty dealing with clients and her clients appear to have been very pleased with her work\u201d and that she \u201cwas generally viewed as a highly competent project leader who worked long hours, pushed vigorously to meet deadlines and demanded much from the multidisciplinary staffs with which she worked.\u201d 618 F. Supp., at 1112-1113.\nOn too many occasions, however, Hopkins\u2019 aggressiveness apparently spilled over into abrasiveness. Staff members seem to have borne the brunt of Hopkins\u2019 brusqueness. Long before her bid for partnership, partners evaluating her work had counseled her to improve her relations with staff members. Although later evaluations indicate an improvement, Hopkins\u2019 perceived shortcomings in this important area eventually doomed her bid for partnership. Virtually all of the partners\u2019 negative remarks about Hopkins \u2014 even those of partners supporting her \u2014 had to do with her \u201cinterpersonal skills.\u201d Both \u201c[s]upporters and opponents of her candidacy,\u201d stressed Judge Gesell, \u201cindicated that she was sometimes overly aggressive, unduly harsh, difficult to work with and impatient with staff.\u201d Id., at 1113.\nThere were clear signs, though, that some of the partners reacted negatively to Hopkins\u2019 personality because she was a woman. One partner described her as \u201cmacho\u201d (Defendant\u2019s Exh. 30); another suggested that she \u201covercompensated for being a woman\u201d (Defendant\u2019s Exh. 31); a third advised her to take \u201ca course at charm school\u201d (Defendant\u2019s Exh. 27). Several partners criticized her use of profanity; in response, one partner suggested that those partners objected to her swearing only \u201cbecause it\u2019s a lady using foul language.\u201d Tr. 321. Another supporter explained that Hopkins \u201cha[d] matured from a tough-talking somewhat masculine hard-nosed mgr to an authoritative, formidable, but much more appealing lady ptr candidate.\u201d Defendant\u2019s Exh. 27. But it was the man who, as Judge Gesell found, bore responsibility for explaining to Hopkins the reasons for the Policy Board\u2019s decision to place her candidacy on hold who delivered the coup de grace: in order to improve her chances for partnership, Thomas Beyer advised, Hopkins should \u201cwalk more femininely, talk more femininely, dress more femininely, wear make-up, have her hair styled, and wear jewelry.\u201d 618 F. Supp., at 1117.\nDr. Susan Fiske, a social psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychology at Carnegie-Mellon University, testified at trial that the partnership selection process at Price Waterhouse was likely influenced by sex stereotyping. Her testimony focused not only on the overtly sex-based comments of partners but also on gender-neutral remarks, made by partners who knew Hopkins only slightly, that were intensely critical of her. One partner, for example, baldly stated that Hopkins was \u201cuniversally disliked\u201d by staff (Defendant\u2019s Exh. 27), and another described her as \u201cconsistently annoying and irritating\u201d (ibid.); yet these were people who had had very little contact with Hopkins. According to Fiske, Hopkins\u2019 uniqueness (as the only woman in the pool of candidates) and the subjectivity of the evaluations made it likely that sharply critical remarks such as these were the product of sex stereotyping \u2014 although Fiske admitted that she could not say with certainty whether any particular comment was the result of stereotyping. Fiske based her opinion on a review of the submitted comments, explaining that it was commonly accepted practice for social psychologists to reach this kind of conclusion without having met any of the people involved in the decisionmaking process.\nIn previous years, other female candidates for partnership also had been evaluated in sex-based terms. As a general matter, Judge Gesell concluded, \u201c[c]andidates were viewed favorably if partners believed they maintained their femin[in]ity while becoming effective professional managers\u201d; in this environment, \u201c[t]o be identified as a `women\u2019s lib[b]er\u2019 was regarded as [a] negative comment.\u201d 618 F. Supp., at 1117. In fact, the judge found that in previous years \u201c[o]ne partner repeatedly commented that he could not consider any woman seriously as a partnership candidate and believed that women were not even capable of functioning as senior managers \u2014 yet the firm took no action to discourage his comments and recorded his vote in the overall summary of the evaluations.\u201d Ibid.\nJudge Gesell found that Price Waterhouse legitimately emphasized interpersonal skills in its partnership decisions, and also found that the firm had not fabricated its complaints about Hopkins\u2019 interpersonal skills as a pretext for discrimination. Moreover, he concluded, the firm did not give decisive emphasis to such traits only because Hopkins was a woman; although there were male candidates who lacked these skills but who were admitted to partnership, the judge found that these candidates possessed other, positive traits that Hopkins lacked.\nThe judge went on to decide, however, that some of the partners\u2019 remarks about Hopkins stemmed from an impermissibly cabined view of the proper behavior of women, and that Price Waterhouse had done nothing to disavow reliance on such comments. He held that Price Waterhouse had unlawfully discriminated against Hopkins on the basis of sex by consciously giving credence and effect to partners\u2019 comments that resulted from sex stereotyping. Noting that Price Waterhouse could avoid equitable relief by proving by clear and convincing evidence that it would have placed Hopkins\u2019 candidacy on hold even absent this discrimination, the judge decided that the firm had not carried this heavy burden.\nThe Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court\u2019s ultimate conclusion, but departed from its analysis in one particular: it held that even if a plaintiff proves that discrimination played a role in an employment decision, the defendant will not be found liable if it proves, by clear and convincing evidence, that it would have made the same decision in the absence of discrimination. 263 U. S. App. D. C., at 333-334, 825 F. 2d, at 470-471. Under this approach, an employer is not deemed to have violated Title VII if it proves that it would have made the same decision in the absence of an impermissible motive, whereas under the District Court\u2019s approach, the employer\u2019s proof in that respect only avoids equitable relief. We decide today that the Court of Appeals had the better approach, but that both courts erred in requiring the employer to make its proof by clear and convincing evidence.\nThe specification of the standard of causation under Title VII is a decision about the kind of conduct that violates that statute. According to Price Waterhouse, an employer violates Title VII only if it gives decisive consideration to an employee\u2019s gender, race, national origin, or religion in making a decision that affects that employee. On Price Waterhouse\u2019s theory, even if a plaintiff shows that her gender played a part in an employment decision, it is still her burden to show that the decision would have been different if the employer had not discriminated. In Hopkins\u2019 view, on the other hand, an employer violates the statute whenever it allows one of these attributes to play any part in an employment decision. Once a plaintiff shows that this occurred, according to Hopkins, the employer\u2019s proof that it would have made the same decision in the absence of discrimination can serve to limit equitable relief but not to avoid a finding of liability.[2] We conclude that, as often happens, the truth lies somewhere in between.\nIn passing Title VII, Congress made the simple but momentous announcement that sex, race, religion, and national origin are not relevant to the selection, evaluation, or compensation of employees.[3] Yet, the statute does not purport to limit the other qualities and characteristics that employers may take into account in making employment decisions. The converse, therefore, of \u201cfor cause\u201d legislation,[4] Title VII eliminates certain bases for distinguishing among employees while otherwise preserving employers\u2019 freedom of choice. This balance between employee rights and employer prerogatives turns out to be decisive in the case before us.\nCongress\u2019 intent to forbid employers to take gender into account in making employment decisions appears on the face of the statute. In now-familiar language, the statute forbids an employer to \u201cfail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment,\u201d or to \u201climit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual\u2019s . . . sex.\u201d 42 U. S. C. \u00a7\u00a7 2000e-2(a)(1), (2) (emphasis added).[5] We take these words to mean that gender must be irrelevant to employment decisions. To construe the words \u201cbecause of\u201d as colloquial shorthand for \u201cbut-for causation,\u201d as does Price Waterhouse, is to misunderstand them.[6]\nBut-for causation is a hypothetical construct. In determining whether a particular factor was a but-for cause of a given event, we begin by assuming that that factor was present at the time of the event, and then ask whether, even if that factor had been absent, the event nevertheless would have transpired in the same way. The present, active tense of the operative verbs of \u00a7 703(a)(1) (\u201cto fail or refuse\u201d), in contrast, turns our attention to the actual moment of the event in question, the adverse employment decision. The critical inquiry, the one commanded by the words of \u00a7 703(a)(1), is whether gender was a factor in the employment decision at the moment it was made. Moreover, since we know that the words \u201cbecause of\u201d do not mean \u201csolely because of,\u201d[7] we also know that Title VII meant to condemn even those decisions based on a mixture of legitimate and illegitimate considerations. When, therefore, an employer considers both gender and legitimate factors at the time of making a decision, that decision was \u201cbecause of\u201d sex and the other, legitimate considerations \u2014 even if we may say later, in the context of litigation, that the decision would have been the same if gender had not been taken into account.\nTo attribute this meaning to the words \u201cbecause of\u201d does not, as the dissent asserts, post, at 282, divest them of causal significance. A simple example illustrates the point. Suppose two physical forces act upon and move an object, and suppose that either force acting alone would have moved the object. As the dissent would have it, neither physical force was a \u201ccause\u201d of the motion unless we can show that but for one or both of them, the object would not have moved; apparently both forces were simply \u201cin the air\u201d unless we can identify at least one of them as a but-for cause of the object\u2019s movement. Ibid. Events that are causally overdetermined, in other words, may not have any \u201ccause\u201d at all. This cannot be so.\nWe need not leave our common sense at the doorstep when we interpret a statute. It is difficult for us to imagine that, in the simple words \u201cbecause of,\u201d Congress meant to obligate a plaintiff to identify the precise causal role played by legitimate and illegitimate motivations in the employment decision she challenges. We conclude, instead, that Congress meant to obligate her to prove that the employer relied upon sex-based considerations in coming to its decision.\nOur interpretation of the words \u201cbecause of\u201d also is supported by the fact that Title VII does identify one circumstance in which an employer may take gender into account in making an employment decision, namely, when gender is a \u201cbona fide occupational qualification [(BFOQ)] reasonably necessary to the normal operation of th[e] particular business or enterprise.\u201d 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 2000e-2(e). The only plausible inference to draw from this provision is that, in all other circumstances, a person\u2019s gender may not be considered in making decisions that affect her. Indeed, Title VII even forbids employers to make gender an indirect stumbling block to employment opportunities. An employer may not, we have held, condition employment opportunities on the satisfaction of facially neutral tests or qualifications that have a disproportionate, adverse impact on members of protected groups when those tests or qualifications are not required for performance of the job. See Watson v. Fort Worth Bank & Trust, 487 U. S. 977 (1988); Griggs v. Duke Power Co., 401 U. S. 424 (1971).\nTo say that an employer may not take gender into account is not, however, the end of the matter, for that describes only one aspect of Title VII. The other important aspect of the statute is its preservation of an employer\u2019s remaining freedom of choice. We conclude that the preservation of this freedom means that an employer shall not be liable if it can prove that, even if it had not taken gender into account, it would have come to the same decision regarding a particular person. The statute\u2019s maintenance of employer prerogatives is evident from the statute itself and from its history, both in Congress and in this Court.\nTo begin with, the existence of the BFOQ exception shows Congress\u2019 unwillingness to require employers to change the very nature of their operations in response to the statute. And our emphasis on \u201cbusiness necessity\u201d in disparate-impact cases, see Watson and Griggs, and on \u201clegitimate, nondiscriminatory reason[s]\u201d in disparate-treatment cases, see McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U. S. 792, 802 (1973); Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U. S. 248 (1981), results from our awareness of Title VII\u2019s balance between employee rights and employer prerogatives. In McDonnell Douglas, we described as follows Title VII\u2019s goal to eradicate discrimination while preserving workplace efficiency: \u201cThe broad, overriding interest, shared by employer, employee, and consumer, is efficient and trustworthy workmanship assured through fair and racially neutral employment and personnel decisions. In the implementation of such decisions, it is abundantly clear that Title VII tolerates no racial discrimination, subtle or otherwise.\u201d 411 U. S., at 801.\nWhen an employer ignored the attributes enumerated in the statute, Congress hoped, it naturally would focus on the qualifications of the applicant or employee. The intent to drive employers to focus on qualifications rather than on race, religion, sex, or national origin is the theme of a good deal of the statute\u2019s legislative history. An interpretive memorandum entered into the Congressional Record by Senators Case and Clark, comanagers of the bill in the Senate, is representative of this general theme.[8] According to their memorandum, Title VII \u201d `expressly protects the employer\u2019s right to insist that any prospective applicant, Negro or white, must meet the applicable job qualifications. Indeed, the very purpose of title VII is to promote hiring on the basis of job qualifications, rather than on the basis of race or color.\u2019 \u201c[9] 110 Cong. Rec. 7247 (1964) quoted in Griggs v. Duke Power Co., supra, at 434. The memorandum went on: \u201cTo discriminate is to make a distinction, to make a difference in treatment or favor, and those distinctions or differences in treatment or favor which are prohibited by section 704 are those which are based on any five of the forbidden criteria: race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. Any other criterion or qualification for employment is not affected by this title.\u201d 110 Cong. Rec. 7213 (1964).\nMany other legislators made statements to a similar effect; we see no need to set out each remark in full here. The central point is this: while an employer may not take gender into account in making an employment decision (except in those very narrow circumstances in which gender is a BFOQ), it is free to decide against a woman for other reasons. We think these principles require that, once a plaintiff in a Title VII case shows that gender played a motivating part in an employment decision, the defendant may avoid a finding of liability[10] only by proving that it would have made the same decision even if it had not allowed gender to play such a role. This balance of burdens is the direct result of Title VII\u2019s balance of rights.\nOur holding casts no shadow on Burdine, in which we decided that, even after a plaintiff has made out a prima facie case of discrimination under Title VII, the burden of persuasion does not shift to the employer to show that its stated legitimate reason for the employment decision was the true reason. 450 U. S., at 256-258. We stress, first, that neither court below shifted the burden of persuasion to Price Waterhouse on this question, and in fact, the District Court found that Hopkins had not shown that the firm\u2019s stated reason for its decision was pretextual. 618 F. Supp., at 1114-1115. Moreover, since we hold that the plaintiff retains the burden of persuasion on the issue whether gender played a part in the employment decision, the situation before us is not the one of \u201cshifting burdens\u201d that we addressed in Burdine. Instead, the employer\u2019s burden is most appropriately deemed an affirmative defense: the plaintiff must persuade the factfinder on one point, and then the employer, if it wishes to prevail, must persuade it on another. See NLRB v. Transportation Management Corp., 462 U. S. 393, 400 (1983).[11]\nPrice Waterhouse\u2019s claim that the employer does not bear any burden of proof (if it bears one at all) until the plaintiff has shown \u201csubstantial evidence that Price Waterhouse\u2019s explanation for failing to promote Hopkins was not the `true reason\u2019 for its action\u201d (Brief for Petitioner 20) merely restates its argument that the plaintiff in a mixed-motives case must squeeze her proof into Burdine\u2019s framework. Where a decision was the product of a mixture of legitimate and illegitimate motives, however, it simply makes no sense to ask whether the legitimate reason was \u201cthe `true reason\u2019 \u201d (Brief for Petitioner 20 (emphasis added)) for the decision \u2014 which is the question asked by Burdine. See Transportation Management, supra, at 400, n. 5.[12] Oblivious to this last point, the dissent would insist that Burdine\u2019s framework perform work that it was never intended to perform. It would require a plaintiff who challenges an adverse employment decision in which both legitimate and illegitimate considerations played a part to pretend that the decision, in fact, stemmed from a single source \u2014 for the premise of Burdine is that either a legitimate or an illegitimate set of considerations led to the challenged decision. To say that Burdine\u2019s evidentiary scheme will not help us decide a case admittedly involving both kinds of considerations is not to cast aspersions on the utility of that scheme in the circumstances for which it was designed.\nIn deciding as we do today, we do not traverse new ground. We have in the past confronted Title VII cases in which an employer has used an illegitimate criterion to distinguish among employees, and have held that it is the employer\u2019s burden to justify decisions resulting from that practice. When an employer has asserted that gender is a BFOQ within the meaning of \u00a7 703(e), for example, we have assumed that it is the employer who must show why it must use gender as a criterion in employment. See Dothard v. Rawlinson, 433 U. S. 321, 332-337 (1977). In a related context, although the Equal Pay Act expressly permits employers to pay different wages to women where disparate pay is the result of a \u201cfactor other than sex,\u201d see 29 U. S. C. \u00a7 206(d)(1), we have decided that it is the employer, not the employee, who must prove that the actual disparity is not sex linked. See Corning Glass Works v. Brennan, 417 U. S. 188, 196 (1974). Finally, some courts have held that, under Title VII as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, it is the employer who has the burden of showing that its limitations on the work that it allows a pregnant woman to perform are necessary in light of her pregnancy. See, e. g., Hayes v. Shelby Memorial Hospital, 726 F. 2d 1543, 1548 (CA11 1984); Wright v. Olin Corp., 697 F. 2d 1172, 1187 (CA4 1982). As these examples demonstrate, our assumption always has been that if an employer allows gender to affect its decision-making process, then it must carry the burden of justifying its ultimate decision. We have not in the past required women whose gender has proved relevant to an employment decision to establish the negative proposition that they would not have been subject to that decision had they been men, and we do not do so today.\nWe have reached a similar conclusion in other contexts where the law announces that a certain characteristic is irrelevant to the allocation of burdens and benefits. In Mt. Healthy City Bd. of Ed. v. Doyle, 429 U. S. 274 (1977), the plaintiff claimed that he had been discharged as a public school teacher for exercising his free-speech rights under the First Amendment. Because we did not wish to \u201cplace an employee in a better position as a result of the exercise of constitutionally protected conduct than he would have occupied had he done nothing,\u201d id., at 285, we concluded that such an employee \u201cought not to be able, by engaging in such conduct, to prevent his employer from assessing his performance record and reaching a decision not to rehire on the basis of that record.\u201d Id., at 286. We therefore held that once the plaintiff had shown that his constitutionally protected speech was a \u201csubstantial\u201d or \u201cmotivating factor\u201d in the adverse treatment of him by his employer, the employer was obligated to prove \u201cby a preponderance of the evidence that it would have reached the same decision as to [the plaintiff] even in the absence of the protected conduct.\u201d Id., at 287. A court that finds for a plaintiff under this standard has effectively concluded that an illegitimate motive was a \u201cbut-for\u201d cause of the employment decision. See Givhan v. Western Line Consolidated School Dist., 439 U. S. 410, 417 (1979). See also Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing Development Corp., 429 U. S. 252, 270-271, n. 21 (1977) (applying Mt. Healthy standard where plaintiff alleged that unconstitutional motive had contributed to enactment of legislation); Hunter v. Underwood, 471 U. S. 222, 228 (1985) (same).\nIn Transportation Management, we upheld the NLRB\u2019s interpretation of \u00a7 10(c) of the National Labor Relations Act, which forbids a court to order affirmative relief for discriminatory conduct against a union member \u201cif such individual was suspended or discharged for cause.\u201d 29 U. S. C. \u00a7 160(c). The Board had decided that this provision meant that once an employee had shown that his suspension or discharge was based in part on hostility to unions, it was up to the employer to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that it would have made the same decision in the absence of this impermissible motive. In such a situation, we emphasized, \u201c[t]he employer is a wrongdoer; he has acted out of a motive that is declared illegitimate by the statute. It is fair that he bear the risk that the influence of legal and illegal motives cannot be separated, because he knowingly created the risk and because the risk was created not by innocent activity but by his own wrongdoing.\u201d 462 U. S., at 403.\nWe have, in short, been here before. Each time, we have concluded that the plaintiff who shows that an impermissible motive played a motivating part in an adverse employment decision has thereby placed upon the defendant the burden to show that it would have made the same decision in the absence of the unlawful motive. Our decision today treads this well-worn path.\nIn saying that gender played a motivating part in an employment decision, we mean that, if we asked the employer at the moment of the decision what its reasons were and if we received a truthful response, one of those reasons would be that the applicant or employee was a woman.[13] In the specific context of sex stereotyping, an employer who acts on the basis of a belief that a woman cannot be aggressive, or that she must not be, has acted on the basis of gender.\nAlthough the parties do not overtly dispute this last proposition, the placement by Price Waterhouse of \u201csex stereotyping\u201d in quotation marks throughout its brief seems to us an insinuation either that such stereotyping was not present in this case or that it lacks legal relevance. We reject both possibilities. As to the existence of sex stereotyping in this case, we are not inclined to quarrel with the District Court\u2019s conclusion that a number of the partners\u2019 comments showed sex stereotyping at work. See infra, at 255-256. As for the legal relevance of sex stereotyping, we are beyond the day when an employer could evaluate employees by assuming or insisting that they matched the stereotype associated with their group, for \u201d `[i]n forbidding employers to discriminate against individuals because of their sex, Congress intended to strike at the entire spectrum of disparate treatment of men and women resulting from sex stereotypes.\u2019 \u201d Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power v. Manhart, 435 U. S. 702, 707, n. 13 (1978), quoting Sprogis v. United Air Lines, Inc., 444 F. 2d 1194, 1198 (CA7 1971). An employer who objects to aggressiveness in women but whose positions require this trait places women in an intolerable and impermissible catch 22: out of a job if they behave aggressively and out of a job if they do not. Title VII lifts women out of this bind.\nRemarks at work that are based on sex stereotypes do not inevitably prove that gender played a part in a particular employment decision. The plaintiff must show that the employer actually relied on her gender in making its decision. In making this showing, stereotyped remarks can certainly be evidence that gender played a part. In any event, the stereotyping in this case did not simply consist of stray remarks. On the contrary, Hopkins proved that Price Waterhouse invited partners to submit comments; that some of the comments stemmed from sex stereotypes; that an important part of the Policy Board\u2019s decision on Hopkins was an assessment of the submitted comments; and that Price Waterhouse in no way disclaimed reliance on the sex-linked evaluations. This is not, as Price Waterhouse suggests, \u201cdiscrimination in the air\u201d; rather, it is, as Hopkins puts it, \u201cdiscrimination brought to ground and visited upon\u201d an employee. Brief for Respondent 30. By focusing on Hopkins\u2019 specific proof, however, we do not suggest a limitation on the possible ways of proving that stereotyping played a motivating role in an employment decision, and we refrain from deciding here which specific facts, \u201cstanding alone,\u201d would or would not establish a plaintiff\u2019s case, since such a decision is unnecessary in this case. But see post, at 277 (O\u2019CONNOR, J., concurring in judgment).\nAs to the employer\u2019s proof, in most cases, the employer should be able to present some objective evidence as to its probable decision in the absence of an impermissible motive.[14] Moreover, proving \u201d `that the same decision would have been justified . . . is not the same as proving that the same decision would have been made.\u2019 \u201d Givhan, 439 U. S., at 416, quoting Ayers v. Western Line Consolidated School District, 555 F. 2d 1309, 1315 (CA5 1977). An employer may not, in other words, prevail in a mixed-motives case by offering a legitimate and sufficient reason for its decision if that reason did not motivate it at the time of the decision. Finally, an employer may not meet its burden in such a case by merely showing that at the time of the decision it was motivated only in part by a legitimate reason. The very premise of a mixed-motives case is that a legitimate reason was present, and indeed, in this case, Price Waterhouse already has made this showing by convincing Judge Gesell that Hopkins\u2019 interpersonal problems were a legitimate concern. The employer instead must show that its legitimate reason, standing alone, would have induced it to make the same decision.\nThe courts below held that an employer who has allowed a discriminatory impulse to play a motivating part in an employment decision must prove by clear and convincing evidence that it would have made the same decision in the absence of discrimination. We are persuaded that the better rule is that the employer must make this showing by a preponderance of the evidence.\nConventional rules of civil litigation generally apply in Title VII cases, see, e. g., United States Postal Service Bd. of Governors v. Aikens, 460 U. S. 711, 716 (1983) (discrimination not to be \u201ctreat[ed] . . . differently from other ultimate questions of fact\u201d), and one of these rules is that parties to civil litigation need only prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence. See, e. g., Herman & MacLean v. Huddleston, 459 U. S. 375, 390 (1983). Exceptions to this standard are uncommon, and in fact are ordinarily recognized only when the government seeks to take unusual coercive action \u2014 action more dramatic than entering an award of money damages or other conventional relief \u2014 against an individual. See Santosky v. Kramer, 455 U. S. 745, 756 (1982) (termination of parental rights); Addington v. Texas, 441 U. S. 418, 427 (1979) (involuntary commitment); Woodby v. INS, 385 U. S. 276 (1966) (deportation); Schneiderman v. United States, 320 U. S. 118, 122, 125 (1943) (denaturalization). Only rarely have we required clear and convincing proof where the action defended against seeks only conventional relief, see, e. g., Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U. S. 323, 342 (1974) (defamation), and we find it significant that in such cases it was the defendant rather than the plaintiff who sought the elevated standard of proof \u2014 suggesting that this standard ordinarily serves as a shield rather than, as Hopkins seeks to use it, as a sword.\nIt is true, as Hopkins emphasizes, that we have noted the \u201cclear distinction between the measure of proof necessary to establish the fact that petitioner had sustained some damage and the measure of proof necessary to enable the jury to fix the amount.\u201d Story Parchment Co. v. Paterson Parchment Paper Co., 282 U. S. 555, 562 (1931). Likewise, an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regulation does require federal agencies proved to have violated Title VII to show by clear and convincing evidence that an individual employee is not entitled to relief. See 29 CFR \u00a7 1613.271(c)(2) (1988). And finally, it is true that we have emphasized the importance of make-whole relief for victims of discrimination. See Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody, 422 U. S. 405 (1975). Yet each of these sources deals with the proper determination of relief rather than with the initial finding of liability. This is seen most easily in the EEOC\u2019s regulation, which operates only after an agency or the EEOC has found that \u201can employee of the agency was discriminated against.\u201d See 29 CFR \u00a7 1613.271(c) (1988). Because we have held that, by proving that it would have made the same decision in the absence of discrimination, the employer may avoid a finding of liability altogether and not simply avoid certain equitable relief, these authorities do not help Hopkins to show why we should elevate the standard of proof for an employer in this position.\nSignificantly, the cases from this Court that most resemble this one, Mt. Healthy and Transportation Management, did not require clear and convincing proof. Mt. Healthy, 429 U. S., at 287; Transportation Management, 462 U. S., at 400, 403. We are not inclined to say that the public policy against firing employees because they spoke out on issues of public concern or because they affiliated with a union is less important than the policy against discharging employees on the basis of their gender. Each of these policies is vitally important, and each is adequately served by requiring proof by a preponderance of the evidence.\nAlthough Price Waterhouse does not concretely tell us how its proof was preponderant even if it was not clear and convincing, this general claim is implicit in its request for the less stringent standard. Since the lower courts required Price Waterhouse to make its proof by clear and convincing evidence, they did not determine whether Price Waterhouse had proved by a preponderance of the evidence that it would have placed Hopkins\u2019 candidacy on hold even if it had not permitted sex-linked evaluations to play a part in the decision-making process. Thus, we shall remand this case so that that determination can be made.\nThe District Court found that sex stereotyping \u201cwas permitted to play a part\u201d in the evaluation of Hopkins as a candidate for partnership. 618 F. Supp., at 1120. Price Waterhouse disputes both that stereotyping occurred and that it played any part in the decision to place Hopkins\u2019 candidacy on hold. In the firm\u2019s view, in other words, the District Court\u2019s factual conclusions are clearly erroneous. We do not agree.\nIn finding that some of the partners\u2019 comments reflected sex stereotyping, the District Court relied in part on Dr. Fiske\u2019s expert testimony. Without directly impugning Dr. Fiske\u2019s credentials or qualifications, Price Waterhouse insinuates that a social psychologist is unable to identify sex stereotyping in evaluations without investigating whether those evaluations have a basis in reality. This argument comes too late. At trial, counsel for Price Waterhouse twice assured the court that he did not question Dr. Fiske\u2019s expertise (App. 25) and failed to challenge the legitimacy of her discipline. Without contradiction from Price Waterhouse, Fiske testified that she discerned sex stereotyping in the partners\u2019 evaluations of Hopkins, and she further explained that it was part of her business to identify stereotyping in written documents. Id., at 64. We are not inclined to accept petitioner\u2019s belated and unsubstantiated characterization of Dr. Fiske\u2019s testimony as \u201cgossamer evidence\u201d (Brief for Petitioner 20) based only on \u201cintuitive hunches\u201d (id., at 44) and of her detection of sex stereotyping as \u201cintuitively divined\u201d (id., at 43). Nor are we disposed to adopt the dissent\u2019s dismissive attitude toward Dr. Fiske\u2019s field of study and toward her own professional integrity, see post, at 293-294, n. 5.\nIndeed, we are tempted to say that Dr. Fiske\u2019s expert testimony was merely icing on Hopkins\u2019 cake. It takes no special training to discern sex stereotyping in a description of an aggressive female employee as requiring \u201ca course at charm school.\u201d Nor, turning to Thomas Beyer\u2019s memorable advice to Hopkins, does it require expertise in psychology to know that, if an employee\u2019s flawed \u201cinterpersonal skills\u201d can be corrected by a soft-hued suit or a new shade of lipstick, perhaps it is the employee\u2019s sex and not her interpersonal skills that has drawn the criticism.[15]\nPrice Waterhouse also charges that Hopkins produced no evidence that sex stereotyping played a role in the decision to place her candidacy on hold. As we have stressed, however, Hopkins showed that the partnership solicited evaluations from all of the firm\u2019s partners; that it generally relied very heavily on such evaluations in making its decision; that some of the partners\u2019 comments were the product of stereotyping; and that the firm in no way disclaimed reliance on those particular comments, either in Hopkins\u2019 case or in the past. Certainly a plausible \u2014 and, one might say, inevitable \u2014 conclusion to draw from this set of circumstances is that the Policy Board in making its decision did in fact take into account all of the partners\u2019 comments, including the comments that were motivated by stereotypical notions about women\u2019s proper deportment.[16]\nPrice Waterhouse concedes that the proof in Transportation Management adequately showed that the employer there had relied on an impermissible motivation in firing the plaintiff. Brief for Petitioner 45. But the only evidence in that case that a discriminatory motive contributed to the plaintiff\u2019s discharge was that the employer harbored a grudge toward the plaintiff on account of his union activity; there was, contrary to Price Waterhouse\u2019s suggestion, no direct evidence that that grudge had played a role in the decision, and, in fact, the employer had given other reasons in explaining the plaintiff\u2019s discharge. See 462 U. S., at 396. If the partnership considers that proof sufficient, we do not know why it takes such vehement issue with Hopkins\u2019 proof.\nNor is the finding that sex stereotyping played a part in the Policy Board\u2019s decision undermined by the fact that many of the suspect comments were made by supporters rather than detractors of Hopkins. A negative comment, even when made in the context of a generally favorable review, nevertheless may influence the decisionmaker to think less highly of the candidate; the Policy Board, in fact, did not simply tally the \u201cyesses\u201d and \u201cnoes\u201d regarding a candidate, but carefully reviewed the content of the submitted comments. The additional suggestion that the comments were made by \u201cpersons outside the decisionmaking chain\u201d (Brief for Petitioner 48) \u2014 and therefore could not have harmed Hopkins \u2014 simply ignores the critical role that partners\u2019 comments played in the Policy Board\u2019s partnership decisions.\nPrice Waterhouse appears to think that we cannot affirm the factual findings of the trial court without deciding that, instead of being overbearing and aggressive and curt, Hopkins is, in fact, kind and considerate and patient. If this is indeed its impression, petitioner misunderstands the theory 258A*258A on which Hopkins prevailed. The District Judge acknowledged that Hopkins\u2019 conduct justified complaints about her behavior as a senior manager. But he also concluded that the reactions of at least some of the partners were reactions to her as a woman manager. Where an evaluation is based on a subjective assessment of a person\u2019s strengths and weaknesses, it is simply not true that each evaluator will focus on, or even mention, the same weaknesses. Thus, even if we knew that Hopkins had \u201cpersonality problems,\u201d this would not tell us that the partners who cast their evaluations of Hopkins in sex-based terms would have criticized her as sharply (or criticized her at all) if she had been a man. It is not our job to review the evidence and decide that the negative reactions to Hopkins were based on reality; our perception of Hopkins\u2019 character is irrelevant. We sit not to determine whether Ms. Hopkins is nice, but to decide whether the partners reacted negatively to her personality because she is a woman.\nWe hold that when a plaintiff in a Title VII case proves that her gender played a motivating part in an employment decision, the defendant may avoid a finding of liability only by proving by a preponderance of the evidence that it would have made the same decision even if it had not taken the plaintiff\u2019s gender into account. Because the courts below erred by deciding that the defendant must make this proof by clear and convincing evidence, we reverse the Court of Appeals\u2019 judgment against Price Waterhouse on liability and remand the case to that court for further proceedings.\nIn my view, to determine the proper approach to causation in this case, we need look only to the Court\u2019s opinion in Mt. Healthy City Bd. of Ed. v. Doyle, 429 U. S. 274 (1977). In Mt. Healthy, a public employee was not rehired, in part because of his exercise of First Amendment rights and in part because of permissible considerations. The Court rejected a rule of causation that focused \u201csolely on whether protected conduct played a part, `substantial\u2019 or otherwise, in a decision not to rehire,\u201d on the grounds that such a rule could make the employee better off by exercising his constitutional rights than by doing nothing at all. Id., at 285. Instead, the Court outlined the following approach:\n\u201cInitially, in this case, the burden was properly placed upon respondent to show that his conduct was constitutionally protected, and that his conduct was a `substantial factor\u2019 \u2014 or, to put it in other words, that it was a `motivating factor\u2019 in the Board\u2019s decision not to rehire him. Respondent having carried that burden, however, the District Court should have gone on to determine whether the Board had shown by a preponderance of the evidence that it would have reached the same decision as to respondent\u2019s reemployment even in the absence of the protected conduct.\u201d Id., at 287 (footnote omitted).\nIt is not necessary to get into semantic discussions on whether the Mt. Healthy approach is \u201cbut-for\u201d causation in another guise or creates an affirmative defense on the part of the employer to see its clear application to the issues before us in this case. As in Mt. Healthy, the District Court found that the employer was motivated by both legitimate and illegitimate factors. And here, as in Mt. Healthy, and as the Court now holds, Hopkins was not required to prove that the illegitimate factor was the only, principal, or true reason for petitioner\u2019s action. Rather, as JUSTICE O\u2019CONNOR states, her burden was to show that the unlawful motive was a substantial factor in the adverse employment action. The District Court, as its opinion was construed by the Court of Appeals, so found, 263 U. S. App. D. C. 321, 333, 334, 825 F. 2d 458, 470, 471 (1987), and I agree that the finding was supported by the record. The burden of persuasion then should have shifted to Price Waterhouse to prove \u201cby a preponderance of the evidence that it would have reached the same decision . . . in the absence of\u201d the unlawful motive. Mt. Healthy, supra, at 287.\nI agree with JUSTICE BRENNAN that applying this approach to causation in Title VII cases is not a departure from, and does not require modification of, the Court\u2019s holdings in Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U. S. 248 (1981), and McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U. S. 792 (1973). The Court has made clear that \u201cmixed-motives\u201d cases, such as the present one, are different from pretext cases such as McDonnell Douglas and Burdine. In pretext cases, \u201cthe issue is whether either illegal or legal motives, but not both, were the `true\u2019 motives behind the decision.\u201d NLRB v. Transportation Management Corp., 462 U. S. 393, 400, n. 5 (1983). In mixed-motives cases, however, there is no one \u201ctrue\u201d motive behind the decision. Instead, the decision is a result of multiple factors, at least one of which is legitimate. It can hardly be said that our decision in this case is a departure from cases that are \u201cinapposite.\u201d Ibid. I also disagree with the dissent\u2019s assertion that this approach to causation is inconsistent with our statement in Burdine that \u201c[t]he ultimate burden of persuading the trier of fact that the defendant intentionally discriminated against the plaintiff remains at all times with the plaintiff.\u201d 450 U. S., at 253. As we indicated in Transportation Management Corp., the showing required by Mt. Healthy does not improperly shift from the plaintiff the ultimate burden of persuasion on whether the defendant intentionally discriminated against him or her. See 462 U. S., at 400, n. 5.\nBecause the Court of Appeals required Price Waterhouse to prove by clear and convincing evidence that it would have reached the same employment decision in the absence of the improper motive, rather than merely requiring proof by a preponderance of the evidence as in Mt. Healthy, I concur in the judgment reversing this case in part and remanding. With respect to the employer\u2019s burden, however, the plurality seems to require, at least in most cases, that the employer submit objective evidence that the same result would have occurred absent the unlawful motivation. Ante, at 252. In my view, however, there is no special requirement that the employer carry its burden by objective evidence. In a mixed-motives case, where the legitimate motive found would have been ample grounds for the action taken, and the employer credibly testifies that the action would have been taken for the legitimate reasons alone, this should be ample proof. This would even more plainly be the case where the employer denies any illegitimate motive in the first place but the court finds that illegitimate, as well as legitimate, factors motivated the adverse action.[*]\nI agree with the plurality that, on the facts presented in this case, the burden of persuasion should shift to the employer to demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that it would have reached the same decision concerning Ann Hopkins\u2019 candidacy absent consideration of her gender. I further agree that this burden shift is properly part of the liability phase of the litigation. I thus concur in the judgment of the Court. My disagreement stems from the plurality\u2019s conclusions concerning the substantive requirement of causation under the statute and its broad statements regarding the applicability of the allocation of the burden of proof applied in this case. The evidentiary rule the Court adopts today should be viewed as a supplement to the careful framework established by our unanimous decisions in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U. S. 792 (1973), and Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U. S. 248 (1981), for use in cases such as this one where the employer has created uncertainty as to causation by knowingly giving substantial weight to an impermissible criterion. I write separately to explain why I believe such a departure from the McDonnell Douglas standard is justified in the circumstances presented by this and like cases, and to express my views as to when and how the strong medicine of requiring the employer to bear the burden of persuasion on the issue of causation should be administered.\nTitle VII provides in pertinent part: \u201cIt shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer . . . to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual\u2019s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.\u201d 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 2000e-2(a) (emphasis added). The legislative history of Title VII bears out what its plain language suggests: a substantive violation of the statute only occurs when consideration of an illegitimate criterion is the \u201cbut-for\u201d cause of an adverse employment action. The legislative history makes it clear that Congress was attempting to eradicate discriminatory actions in the employment setting, not mere discriminatory thoughts. Critics of the bill that became Title VII labeled it a \u201cthought control bill,\u201d and argued that it created a \u201cpunishable crime that does not require an illegal external act as a basis for judgment.\u201d 100 Cong. Rec. 7254 (1964) (remarks of Sen. Ervin). Senator Case, whose views the plurality finds so persuasive elsewhere, responded:\n\u201cThe man must do or fail to do something in regard to employment. There must be some specific external act, more than a mental act. Only if he does the act because of the grounds stated in the bill would there be any legal consequences.\u201d Ibid.\nThus, I disagree with the plurality\u2019s dictum that the words \u201cbecause of\u201d do not mean \u201cbut-for\u201d causation; manifestly they do. See Sheet Metal Workers v. EEOC, 478 U. S. 421, 499 (1986) (WHITE, J., dissenting) (\u201c[T]he general policy under Title VII is to limit relief for racial discrimination in employment practices to actual victims of the discrimination\u201d). We should not, and need not, deviate from that policy today. The question for decision in this case is what allocation of the burden of persuasion on the issue of causation best conforms with the intent of Congress and the purposes behind Title VII.\nThe evidence of congressional intent as to which party should bear the burden of proof on the issue of causation is considerably less clear. No doubt, as a general matter, Congress assumed that the plaintiff in a Title VII action would bear the burden of proof on the elements critical to his or her case. As the dissent points out, post, at 287, n. 3, the interpretative memorandum submitted by sponsors of Title VII indicates that \u201cthe plaintiff, as in any civil case, would have the burden of proving that discrimination had occurred.\u201d 110 Cong. Rec. 7214 (1964) (emphasis added). But in the area of tort liability, from whence the dissent\u2019s \u201cbut-for\u201d standard of causation is derived, see post, at 282, the law has long recognized that in certain \u201ccivil cases\u201d leaving the burden of persuasion on the plaintiff to prove \u201cbut-for\u201d causation would be both unfair and destructive of the deterrent purposes embodied in the concept of duty of care. Thus, in multiple causation cases, where a breach of duty has been established, the common law of torts has long shifted the burden of proof to multiple defendants to prove that their negligent actions were not the \u201cbut-for\u201d cause of the plaintiff\u2019s injury. See e. g., Summers v. Tice, 33 Cal. 2d 80, 84-87, 199 P. 2d 1, 3-4 (1948). The same rule has been applied where the effect of a defendant\u2019s tortious conduct combines with a force of unknown or innocent origin to produce the harm to the plaintiff. See Kingston v. Chicago & N. W. R. Co., 191 Wis. 610, 616, 211 N. W. 913, 915 (1927) (\u201cGranting that the union of that fire [caused by defendant\u2019s negligence] with another of natural origin, or with another of much greater proportions, is available as a defense, the burden is on the defendant to show that . . . the fire set by him was not the proximate cause of the damage\u201d). See also 2 J. Wigmore, Select Cases on the Law of Torts \u00a7 153, p. 865 (1912) (\u201cWhen two or more persons by their acts are possibly the sole cause of a harm, or when two or more acts of the same person are possibly the sole cause, and the plaintiff has introduced evidence that one of the two persons, or one of the same person\u2019s two acts, is culpable, then the defendant has the burden of proving that the other person, or his other act, was the sole cause of the harm\u201d).\nWhile requiring that the plaintiff in a tort suit or a Title VII action prove that the defendant\u2019s \u201cbreach of duty\u201d was the \u201cbut-for\u201d cause of an injury does not generally hamper effective enforcement of the policies behind those causes of action,\n\u201cat other times the [but-for] test demands the impossible. It challenges the imagination of the trier to probe into a purely fanciful and unknowable state of affairs. He is invited to make an estimate concerning facts that concededly never existed. The very uncertainty as to what might have happened opens the door wide for conjecture. But when conjecture is demanded it can be given a direction that is consistent with the policy considerations that underlie the controversy.\u201d Malone, Ruminations on Cause-In-Fact, 9 Stan. L. Rev. 60, 67 (1956).\nLike the common law of torts, the statutory employment \u201ctort\u201d created by Title VII has two basic purposes. The first is to deter conduct which has been identified as contrary to public policy and harmful to society as a whole. As we have noted in the past, the award of backpay to a Title VII plaintiff provides \u201cthe spur or catalyst which causes employers and unions to self-examine and to self-evaluate their employment practices and to endeavor to eliminate, so far as possible, the last vestiges\u201d of discrimination in employment. Albemarle Paper Co. v. Moody, 422 U. S. 405, 417-418 (1975) (citation omitted). The second goal of Title VII is \u201cto make persons whole for injuries suffered on account of unlawful employment discrimination.\u201d Id., at 418.\nBoth these goals are reflected in the elements of a disparate treatment action. There is no doubt that Congress considered reliance on gender or race in making employment decisions an evil in itself. As Senator Clark put it, \u201c[t]he bill simply eliminates consideration of color [or other forbidden criteria] from the decision to hire or promote.\u201d 110 Cong. Rec. 7218 (1964). See also id., at 13088 (remarks of Sen. Humphrey) (\u201cWhat the bill does . . . is simply to make it an illegal practice to use race as a factor in denying employment\u201d). Reliance on such factors is exactly what the threat of Title VII liability was meant to deter. While the main concern of the statute was with employment opportunity, Congress was certainly not blind to the stigmatic harm which comes from being evaluated by a process which treats one as an inferior by reason of one\u2019s race or sex. This Court\u2019s decisions under the Equal Protection Clause have long recognized that whatever the final outcome of a decisional process, the inclusion of race or sex as a consideration within it harms both society and the individual. See Richmond v. J. A. Croson Co., 488 U. S. 469 (1989). At the same time, Congress clearly conditioned legal liability on a determination that the consideration of an illegitimate factor caused a tangible employment injury of some kind.\nWhere an individual disparate treatment plaintiff has shown by a preponderance of the evidence that an illegitimate criterion was a substantial factor in an adverse employment decision, the deterrent purpose of the statute has clearly been triggered. More importantly, as an evidentiary matter, a reasonable factfinder could conclude that absent further explanation, the employer\u2019s discriminatory motivation \u201ccaused\u201d the employment decision. The employer has not yet been shown to be a violator, but neither is it entitled to the same presumption of good faith concerning its employment decisions which is accorded employers facing only circumstantial evidence of discrimination. Both the policies behind the statute, and the evidentiary principles developed in the analogous area of causation in the law of torts, suggest that at this point the employer may be required to convince the factfinder that, despite the smoke, there is no fire.\nWe have given recognition to these principles in our cases which have discussed the \u201cremedial phase\u201d of class action disparate treatment cases. Once the class has established that discrimination against a protected group was essentially the employer\u2019s \u201cstandard practice,\u201d there has been harm to the group and injunctive relief is appropriate. But as to the individual members of the class, the liability phase of the litigation is not complete. See Dillon v. Coles, 746 F. 2d 998, 1004 (CA3 1984) (\u201cIt is misleading to speak of the additional proof required by an individual class member for relief as being a part of the damage phase, that evidence is actually an element of the liability portion of the case\u201d) (footnote omitted). Because the class has already demonstrated that, as a rule, illegitimate factors were considered in the employer\u2019s decisions, the burden shifts to the employer \u201cto demonstrate that the individual applicant was denied an employment opportunity for legitimate reasons.\u201d Teamsters v. United States, 431 U. S. 324, 362 (1977). See also Franks v. Bowman Transportation Co., 424 U. S. 747, 772 (1976).\nThe individual members of a class action disparate treatment case stand in much the same position as Ann Hopkins here. There has been a strong showing that the employer has done exactly what Title VII forbids, but the connection between the employer\u2019s illegitimate motivation and any injury to the individual plaintiff is unclear. At this point calling upon the employer to show that despite consideration of illegitimate factors the individual plaintiff would not have been hired or promoted in any event hardly seems \u201cunfair\u201d or contrary to the substantive command of the statute. In fact, an individual plaintiff who has shown that an illegitimate factor played a substantial role in the decision in his or her case has proved more than the class member in a Teamsters type action. The latter receives the benefit of a burden shift to the defendant based on the likelihood that an illegitimate criterion was a factor in the individual employment decision.\nThere is a tension between the Franks and Teamsters line of decisions and the individual disparate treatment cases cited by the dissent. See post, at 286-289. Logically, under the dissent\u2019s view, each member of a disparate treatment class action would have to show \u201cbut-for\u201d causation as to his or her individual employment decision, since it is not an element of the pattern or practice proof of the entire class and it is statutorily mandated that the plaintiff bear the burden of proof on this issue throughout the litigation. While the Court has properly drawn a distinction between the elements of a class action claim and an individual disparate treatment claim, see Cooper v. Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, 467 U. S. 867, 873-878 (1984), and I do not suggest the wholesale transposition of rules from one setting to the other, our decisions in Teamsters and Franks do indicate a recognition that presumptions shifting the burden of persuasion based on evidentiary probabilities and the policies behind the statute are not alien to our Title VII jurisprudence.\nMoreover, placing the burden on the defendant in this case to prove that the same decision would have been justified by legitimate reasons is consistent with our interpretation of the constitutional guarantee of equal protection. Like a disparate treatment plaintiff, one who asserts that governmental action violates the Equal Protection Clause must show that he or she is \u201cthe victim of intentional discrimination.\u201d Burdine, 450 U. S., at 256. Compare post, at 286, 289 (KENNEDY, J., dissenting), with Washington v. Davis, 426 U. S. 229, 240 (1976). In Alexander v. Louisiana, 405 U. S. 625 (1972), we dealt with a criminal defendant\u2019s allegation that members of his race had been invidiously excluded from the grand jury which indicted him in violation of the Equal Protection Clause. In addition to the statistical evidence presented by petitioner in that case, we noted that the State\u2019s \u201cselection procedures themselves were not racially neutral.\u201d Id., at 630. Once the consideration of race in the decisional process had been established, we held that \u201cthe burden of proof shifts to the State to rebut the presumption of unconstitutional action by showing that permissible racially neutral selection criteria and procedures have produced the monochromatic result.\u201d Id., at 632.\nWe adhered to similar principles in Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing Development Corp., 429 U. S. 252 (1977), a case which, like this one, presented the problems of motivation and causation in the context of a multimember decisionmaking body authorized to consider a wide range of factors in arriving at its decisions. In Arlington Heights a group of minority plaintiffs claimed that a municipal governing body\u2019s refusal to rezone a plot of land to allow for the construction of low-income integrated housing was racially motivated. On the issue of causation, we indicated that the plaintiff was not required\n\u201cto prove that the challenged action rested solely on racially discriminatory purposes. Rarely can it be said that a legislature or administrative body operating under a broad mandate made a decision motivated solely by a single concern, or even that a particular purpose was the `dominant\u2019 or `primary\u2019 one. In fact, it is because legislators and administrators are properly concerned with balancing numerous competing considerations that courts refrain from reviewing the merits of their decisions, absent a showing of arbitrariness or irrationality. But racial discrimination is not just another competing consideration. When there is a proof that a discriminatory purpose has been a motivating factor in the decision, this judicial deference is no longer justified.\u201d Id., at 265-266 (citation omitted).\nIf the strong presumption of regularity and rationality of legislative decisionmaking must give way in the face of evidence that race has played a significant part in a legislative decision, I simply cannot believe that Congress intended Title VII to accord more deference to a private employer in the face of evidence that its decisional process has been substantially infected by discrimination. Indeed, where a public employee brings a \u201cdisparate treatment\u201d claim under 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 1983 and the Equal Protection Clause the employee is entitled to the favorable evidentiary framework of Arlington Heights. See, e. g., Hervey v. Little Rock, 787 F. 2d 1223, 1233-1234 (CA8 1986) (applying Arlington Heights to public employee\u2019s claim of sex discrimination in promotion decision); Lee v. Russell County Bd. of Education, 684 F. 2d 769, 773-774 (CA11 1982) (applying Arlington Heights to public employees\u2019 claims of race discrimination in discharge case). Under the dissent\u2019s reading of Title VII, Congress\u2019 extension of the coverage of the statute to public employers in 1972 has placed these employees under a less favorable evidentiary regime. In my view, nothing in the language, history, or purpose of Title VII prohibits adoption of an evidentiary rule which places the burden of persuasion on the defendant to demonstrate that legitimate concerns would have justified an adverse employment action where the plaintiff has convinced the factfinder that a forbidden factor played a substantial role in the employment decision. Even the dissenting judge below \u201c[had] no quarrel with [the] principle\u201d that \u201ca party with one permissible motive and one unlawful one may prevail only by affirmatively proving that it would have acted as it did even if the forbidden motive were absent.\u201d 263 U. S. App. D. C. 321, 341, 825 F. 2d 458, 478 (1987) (Williams, J. dissenting).\nThe dissent\u2019s summary of our individual disparate treatment cases to date is fair and accurate, and amply demonstrates that the rule we adopt today is at least a change in direction from some of our prior precedents. See post, at 286-289. We have indeed emphasized in the past that in an individual disparate treatment action the plaintiff bears the burden of persuasion throughout the litigation. Nor have we confined the word \u201cpretext\u201d to the narrow definition which the plurality attempts to pin on it today. See ante, at 244-247. McDonnell Douglas and Burdine clearly contemplated that a disparate treatment plaintiff could show that the employer\u2019s proffered explanation for an event was not \u201cthe true reason\u201d either because it never motivated the employer in its employment decisions or because it did not do so in a particular case. McDonnell Douglas and Burdine assumed that the plaintiff would bear the burden of persuasion as to both these attacks, and we clearly depart from that framework today. Such a departure requires justification, and its outlines should be carefully drawn.\nFirst, McDonnell Douglas itself dealt with a situation where the plaintiff presented no direct evidence that the employer had relied on a forbidden factor under Title VII in making an employment decision. The prima facie case established there was not difficult to prove, and was based only on the statistical probability that when a number of potential causes for an employment decision are eliminated an inference arises that an illegitimate factor was in fact the motivation behind the decision. See Teamsters, 431 U. S., at 358, n. 44 (\u201c[T]he McDonnell Douglas formula does not require direct proof of discrimination\u201d). In the face of this inferential proof, the employer\u2019s burden was deemed to be only one of production; the employer must articulate a legitimate reason for the adverse employment action. See Furnco Construction Corp. v. Waters, 438 U. S. 567, 577 (1978). The plaintiff must then be given an \u201copportunity to demonstrate by competent evidence that the presumptively valid reasons for his rejection were in fact a coverup for a racially discriminatory decision.\u201d McDonnell Douglas, 411 U. S., at 805. Our decision in Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U. S. 248 (1981), also involved the \u201cnarrow question\u201d whether, after a plaintiff had carried the \u201cnot onerous\u201d burden of establishing the prima facie case under McDonnell Douglas, the burden of persuasion should be shifted to the employer to prove that a legitimate reason for the adverse employment action existed. 450 U. S., at 250. As the discussion of Teamsters and Arlington Heights indicates, I do not think that the employer is entitled to the same presumption of good faith where there is direct evidence that it has placed substantial reliance on factors whose consideration is forbidden by Title VII.\nThe only individual disparate treatment case cited by the dissent which involved the kind of direct evidence of discriminatory animus with which we are confronted here is United States Postal Service Bd. of Governors v. Aikens, 460 U. S. 711, 713-714, n. 2 (1983). The question presented to the Court in that case involved only a challenge to the elements of the prima facie case under McDonnell Douglas and Burdine, see Pet. for Cert. in United States Postal Service Bd. of Governors v. Aikens, O. T. 1981, No. 81-1044, and the question we confront today was neither briefed nor argued to the Court. As should be apparent, the entire purpose of the McDonnell Douglas prima facie case is to compensate for the fact that direct evidence of intentional discrimination is hard to come by. That the employer\u2019s burden in rebutting such an inferential case of discrimination is only one of production does not mean that the scales should be weighted in the same manner where there is direct evidence of intentional discrimination. Indeed, in one Age Discrimination in Employment Act case, the Court seemed to indicate that \u201cthe McDonnell Douglas test is inapplicable where the plaintiff presents direct evidence of discrimination.\u201d Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Thurston, 469 U. S. 111, 121 (1985). See also East Texas Motor Freight System, Inc. v. Rodriguez, 431 U. S. 395, 403-404, n. 9 (1977).\nSecond, the facts of this case, and a growing number like it decided by the Courts of Appeals, convince me that the evidentiary standard I propose is necessary to make real the promise of McDonnell Douglas that \u201c[i]n the implementation of [employment] decisions, it is abundantly clear that Title VII tolerates no . . . discrimination, subtle or otherwise.\u201d 411 U. S., at 801. In this case, the District Court found that a number of the evaluations of Ann Hopkins submitted by partners in the firm overtly referred to her failure to conform to certain gender stereotypes as a factor militating against her election to the partnership. 618 F. Supp. 1109, 1116-1117 (DC 1985). The District Court further found that these evaluations were given \u201cgreat weight\u201d by the decisionmakers at Price Waterhouse. Id., at 1118. In addition, the District Court found that the partner responsible for informing Hopkins of the factors which caused her candidacy to be placed on hold, indicated that her \u201cprofessional\u201d problems would be solved if she would \u201cwalk more femininely, talk more femininely, wear make-up, have her hair styled, and wear jewelry.\u201d Id., at 1117 (footnote omitted). As the Court of Appeals characterized it, Ann Hopkins proved that Price Waterhouse \u201cpermitt[ed] stereotypical attitudes towards women to play a significant, though unquantifiable, role in its decision not to invite her to become a partner.\u201d 263 U. S. App. D. C., at 324, 825 F. 2d, at 461.\nAt this point Ann Hopkins had taken her proof as far as it could go. She had proved discriminatory input into the decisional process, and had proved that participants in the process considered her failure to conform to the stereotypes credited by a number of the decisionmakers had been a substantial factor in the decision. It is as if Ann Hopkins were sitting in the hall outside the room where partnership decisions were being made. As the partners filed in to consider her candidacy, she heard several of them make sexist remarks in discussing her suitability for partnership. As the decisionmakers exited the room, she was told by one of those privy to the decisionmaking process that her gender was a major reason for the rejection of her partnership bid. If, as we noted in Teamsters, \u201c[p]resumptions shifting the burden of proof are often created to reflect judicial evaluations of probabilities and to conform with a party\u2019s superior access to the proof,\u201d 431 U. S., at 359, n. 45, one would be hard pressed to think of a situation where it would be more appropriate to require the defendant to show that its decision would have been justified by wholly legitimate concerns.\nMoreover, there is mounting evidence in the decisions of the lower courts that respondent here is not alone in her inability to pinpoint discrimination as the precise cause of her injury, despite having shown that it played a significant role in the decisional process. Many of these courts, which deal with the evidentiary issues in Title VII cases on a regular basis, have concluded that placing the risk of nonpersuasion on the defendant in a situation where uncertainty as to causation has been created by its consideration of an illegitimate criterion makes sense as a rule of evidence and furthers the substantive command of Title VII. See, e. g., Bell v. Birmingham Linen Service, 715 F. 2d 1552, 1556 (CA11 1983) (Tjoflat, J.) (\u201cIt would be illogical, indeed ironic, to hold a Title VII plaintiff presenting direct evidence of a defendant\u2019s intent to discriminate to a more stringent burden of proof, or to allow a defendant to meet that direct proof by merely articulating, but not proving, legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for its action\u201d). Particularly in the context of the professional world, where decisions are often made by collegial bodies on the basis of largely subjective criteria, requiring the plaintiff to prove that any one factor was the definitive cause of the decisionmakers\u2019 action may be tantamount to declaring Title VII inapplicable to such decisions. See, e. g., Fields v. Clark University, 817 F. 2d 931, 935-937 (CA1 1987) (where plaintiff produced \u201cstrong evidence\u201d that sexist attitudes infected faculty tenure decision, burden properly shifted to defendant to show that it would have reached the same decision absent discrimination); Thompkins v. Morris Brown College, 752 F. 2d 558, 563 (CA11 1985) (direct evidence of discriminatory animus in decision to discharge college professor shifted burden of persuasion to defendant).\nFinally, I am convinced that a rule shifting the burden to the defendant where the plaintiff has shown that an illegitimate criterion was a \u201csubstantial factor\u201d in the employment decision will not conflict with other congressional policies embodied in Title VII. Title VII expressly provides that an employer need not give preferential treatment to employees or applicants of any race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in order to maintain a work force in balance with the general population. See 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 2000e-2(j). The interpretive memorandum, whose authoritative force is noted by the plurality, see ante, at 243, n. 8, specifically provides: \u201cThere is no requirement in title VII that an employer maintain a racial balance in his work force. On the contrary, any deliberate attempt to maintain a racial balance, whatever such a balance may be, would involve a violation of title VII because maintaining such a balance would require an employer to hire or refuse to hire on the basis of race.\u201d 110 Cong. Rec. 7213 (1964).\nLast Term, in Watson v. Fort Worth Bank & Trust, 487 U. S. 977 (1988), the Court unanimously concluded that the disparate impact analysis first enunciated in Griggs v. Duke Power Co., 401 U. S. 424 (1971), should be extended to subjective or discretionary selection processes. At the same time a plurality of the Court indicated concern that the focus on bare statistics in the disparate impact setting could force employers to adopt \u201cinappropriate prophylactic measures\u201d in violation of \u00a7 2000e-2(j). The plurality went on to emphasize that in a disparate impact case, the plaintiff may not simply point to a statistical disparity in the employer\u2019s work force. Instead, the plaintiff must identify a particular employment practice and \u201cmust offer statistical evidence of a kind and degree sufficient to show that the practice in question has caused the exclusion of applicants for jobs or promotions because of their membership in a protected group.\u201d 487 U. S., at 994. The plurality indicated that \u201cthe ultimate burden of proving that discrimination against a protected group has been caused by a specific employment practice remains with the plaintiff at all times.\u201d Id., at 997.\nI believe there are significant differences between shifting the burden of persuasion to the employer in a case resting purely on statistical proof as in the disparate impact setting and shifting the burden of persuasion in a case like this one, where an employee has demonstrated by direct evidence that an illegitimate factor played a substantial role in a particular employment decision. First, the explicit consideration of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in making employment decisions \u201cwas the most obvious evil Congress had in mind when it enacted Title VII.\u201d Teamsters, 431 U. S., at 335, n. 15. While the prima facie case under McDonnell Douglas and the statistical showing of imbalance involved in a disparate impact case may both be indicators of discrimination or its \u201cfunctional equivalent,\u201d they are not, in and of themselves, the evils Congress sought to eradicate from the employment setting. Second, shifting the burden of persuasion to the employer in a situation like this one creates no incentive to preferential treatment in violation of \u00a7 2000e-(2)(j). To avoid bearing the burden of justifying its decision, the employer need not seek racial or sexual balance in its work force; rather, all it need do is avoid substantial reliance on forbidden criteria in making its employment decisions.\nWhile the danger of forcing employers to engage in unwarranted preferential treatment is thus less dramatic in this setting than in the situation the Court faced in Watson, it is far from wholly illusory. Based on its misreading of the words \u201cbecause of\u201d in the statute, see ante, at 240-242, the plurality appears to conclude that if a decisional process is \u201ctainted\u201d by awareness of sex or race in any way, the employer has violated the statute, and Title VII thus commands that the burden shift to the employer to justify its decision. Ante, at 250-252. The plurality thus effectively reads the causation requirement out of the statute, and then replaces it with an \u201caffirmative defense.\u201d Ante, at 244-247.\nIn my view, in order to justify shifting the burden on the issue of causation to the defendant, a disparate treatment plaintiff must show by direct evidence that an illegitimate criterion was a substantial factor in the decision. As the Court of Appeals noted below: \u201cWhile most circuits have not confronted the question squarely, the consensus among those that have is that once a Title VII plaintiff has demonstrated by direct evidence that discriminatory animus played a significant or substantial role in the employment decision, the burden shifts to the employer to show that the decision would have been the same absent discrimination.\u201d 263 U. S. App. D. C., at 333-344, 825 F. 2d, at 470-471. Requiring that the plaintiff demonstrate that an illegitimate factor played a substantial role in the employment decision identifies those employment situations where the deterrent purpose of Title VII is most clearly implicated. As an evidentiary matter, where a plaintiff has made this type of strong showing of illicit motivation, the factfinder is entitled to presume that the employer\u2019s discriminatory animus made a difference to the outcome, absent proof to the contrary from the employer. Where a disparate treatment plaintiff has made such a showing, the burden then rests with the employer to convince the trier of fact that it is more likely than not that the decision would have been the same absent consideration of the illegitimate factor. The employer need not isolate the sole cause for the decision; rather it must demonstrate that with the illegitimate factor removed from the calculus, sufficient business reasons would have induced it to take the same employment action. This evidentiary scheme essentially requires the employer to place the employee in the same position he or she would have occupied absent discrimination. Cf. Mt. Healthy City Bd. of Ed. v. Doyle, 429 U. S. 274, 286 (1977). If the employer fails to carry this burden, the factfinder is justified in concluding that the decision was made \u201cbecause of\u201d consideration of the illegitimate factor and the substantive standard for liability under the statute is satisfied.\nThus, stray remarks in the workplace, while perhaps probative of sexual harassment, see Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, 477 U. S. 57, 63-69 (1986), cannot justify requiring the employer to prove that its hiring or promotion decisions were based on legitimate criteria. Nor can statements by nondecisionmakers, or statements by decisionmakers unrelated to the decisional process itself, suffice to satisfy the plaintiff\u2019s burden in this regard. In addition, in my view testimony such as Dr. Fiske\u2019s in this case, standing alone, would not justify shifting the burden of persuasion to the employer. Race and gender always \u201cplay a role\u201d in an employment decision in the benign sense that these are human characteristics of which decisionmakers are aware and about which they may comment in a perfectly neutral and nondiscriminatory fashion. For example, in the context of this case, a mere reference to \u201ca lady candidate\u201d might show that gender \u201cplayed a role\u201d in the decision, but by no means could support a rational factfinder\u2019s inference that the decision was made \u201cbecause of\u201d sex. What is required is what Ann Hopkins showed here: direct evidence that decisionmakers placed substantial negative reliance on an illegitimate criterion in reaching their decision.\nIt should be obvious that the threshold standard I would adopt for shifting the burden of persuasion to the defendant differs substantially from that proposed by the plurality, the plurality\u2019s suggestion to the contrary notwithstanding. See ante, at 250, n. 13. The plurality proceeds from the premise that the words \u201cbecause of\u201d in the statute do not embody any causal requirement at all. Under my approach, the plaintiff must produce evidence sufficient to show that an illegitimate criterion was a substantial factor in the particular employment decision such that a reasonable factfinder could draw an inference that the decision was made \u201cbecause of\u201d the plaintiff\u2019s protected status. Only then would the burden of proof shift to the defendant to prove that the decision would have been justified by other, wholly legitimate considerations. See also ante, at 259-260 (WHITE, J., concurring in judgment).\nIn sum, because of the concerns outlined above, and because I believe that the deterrent purpose of Title VII is disserved by a rule which places the burden of proof on plaintiffs on the issue of causation in all circumstances, I would retain but supplement the framework we established in McDonnell Douglas and subsequent cases. The structure of the presentation of evidence in an individual disparate treatment case should conform to the general outlines we established in McDonnell Douglas and Burdine. First, the plaintiff must establish the McDonnell Douglas prima facie case by showing membership in a protected group, qualification for the job, rejection for the position, and that after rejection the employer continued to seek applicants of complainant\u2019s general qualifications. McDonnell Douglas, 411 U. S., at 802. The plaintiff should also present any direct evidence of discriminatory animus in the decisional process. The defendant should then present its case, including its evidence as to legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for the employment decision. As the dissent notes, under this framework, the employer \u201chas every incentive to convince the trier of fact that the decision was lawful.\u201d Post, at 292, citing Burdine, 450 U. S., at 258. Once all the evidence has been received, the court should determine whether the McDonnell Douglas or Price Waterhouse framework properly applies to the evidence before it. If the plaintiff has failed to satisfy the Price Waterhouse threshold, the case should be decided under the principles enunciated in McDonnell Douglas and Burdine, with the plaintiff bearing the burden of persuasion on the ultimate issue whether the employment action was taken because of discrimination. In my view, such a system is both fair and workable, and it calibrates the evidentiary requirements demanded of the parties to the goals behind the statute itself.\nI agree with the dissent, see post, at 293, n. 4, that the evidentiary framework I propose should be available to all disparate treatment plaintiffs where an illegitimate consideration played a substantial role in an adverse employment decision. The Court\u2019s allocation of the burden of proof in Johnson v. Transportation Agency, Santa Clara County, 480 U. S. 616, 626-627 (1987), rested squarely on \u201cthe analytical framework set forth in McDonnell Douglas,\u201d id., at 626, which we alter today. It would be odd to say the least if the evidentiary rules applicable to Title VII actions were themselves dependent on the gender or the skin color of the litigants. But see ante, at 239, n. 3.\nIn this case, I agree with the plurality that petitioner should be called upon to show that the outcome would have been the same if respondent\u2019s professional merit had been its only concern. On remand, the District Court should determine whether Price Waterhouse has shown by a preponderance of the evidence that if gender had not been part of the process, its employment decision concerning Ann Hopkins would nonetheless have been the same.\nJUSTICE KENNEDY, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE and JUSTICE SCALIA join, dissenting.\nToday the Court manipulates existing and complex rules for employment discrimination cases in a way certain to result in confusion. Continued adherence to the evidentiary scheme established in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U. S. 792 (1973), and Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U. S. 248 (1981), is a wiser course than creation of more disarray in an area of the law already difficult for the bench and bar, and so I must dissent.\nBefore turning to my reasons for disagreement with the Court\u2019s disposition of the case, it is important to review the actual holding of today\u2019s decision. I read the opinions as establishing that in a limited number of cases Title VII plaintiffs, by presenting direct and substantial evidence of discriminatory animus, may shift the burden of persuasion to the defendant to show that an adverse employment decision would have been supported by legitimate reasons. The shift in the burden of persuasion occurs only where a plaintiff proves by direct evidence that an unlawful motive was a substantial factor actually relied upon in making the decision. Ante, at 276-277 (opinion of O\u2019CONNOR, J.); ante, at 259-260 (opinion of WHITE, J.). As the opinions make plain, the evidentiary scheme created today is not for every case in which a plaintiff produces evidence of stray remarks in the workplace. Ante, at 251 (opinion of BRENNAN, J.); ante, at 277 (opinion of O\u2019CONNOR, J.).\nWhere the plaintiff makes the requisite showing, the burden that shifts to the employer is to show that legitimate employment considerations would have justified the decision without reference to any impermissible motive. Ante, at 260-261 (opinion of WHITE, J.); ante, at 278 (opinion of O\u2019CONNOR, J.). The employer\u2019s proof on the point is to be presented and reviewed just as with any other evidentiary question: the Court does not accept the plurality\u2019s suggestion that an employer\u2019s evidence need be \u201cobjective\u201d or otherwise out of the ordinary. Ante, at 261 (opinion of WHITE, J.).\nIn sum, the Court alters the evidentiary framework of McDonnell Douglas and Burdine for a closely defined set of cases. Although JUSTICE O\u2019CONNOR advances some thoughtful arguments for this change, I remain convinced that it is unnecessary and unwise. More troubling is the plurality\u2019s rationale for today\u2019s decision, which includes a number of unfortunate pronouncements on both causation and methods of proof in employment discrimination cases. To demonstrate the defects in the plurality\u2019s reasoning, it is necessary to discuss, first, the standard of causation in Title VII cases, and, second, the burden of proof.\nThe plurality describes this as a case about the standard of causation under Title VII, ante, at 237, but I respectfully suggest that the description is misleading. Much of the plurality\u2019s rhetoric is spent denouncing a \u201cbut-for\u201d standard of causation. The theory of Title VII liability the plurality adopts, however, essentially incorporates the but-for standard. The importance of today\u2019s decision is not the standard of causation it employs, but its shift to the defendant of the burden of proof. The plurality\u2019s causation analysis is misdirected, for it is clear that, whoever bears the burden of proof on the issue, Title VII liability requires a finding of but-for causation. See also ante, at 261, and n. (opinion of WHITE, J.); ante, at 262-263 (opinion of O\u2019CONNOR, J.).\nThe words of Title VII are not obscure. The part of the statute relevant to this case provides:\n\u201c(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual\u2019s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.\u201d 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 2000e-2(a)(1) (emphasis added).\nBy any normal understanding, the phrase \u201cbecause of\u201d conveys the idea that the motive in question made a difference to the outcome. We use the words this way in everyday speech. And assuming, as the plurality does, that we ought to consider the interpretive memorandum prepared by the statute\u2019s drafters, we find that this is what the words meant to them as well. \u201cTo discriminate is to make a distinction, to make a difference in treatment or favor.\u201d 110 Cong. Rec. 7213 (1964). Congress could not have chosen a clearer way to indicate that proof of liability under Title VII requires a showing that race, color, religion, sex, or national origin caused the decision at issue.\nOur decisions confirm that Title VII is not concerned with the mere presence of impermissible motives; it is directed to employment decisions that result from those motives. The verbal formulae we have used in our precedents are synonymous with but-for causation. Thus we have said that providing different insurance coverage to male and female employees violates the statute by treating the employee \u201d `in a manner which but-for that person\u2019s sex would be different.\u2019 \u201d Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. v. EEOC, 462 U. S. 669, 683 (1983), quoting Los Angeles Dept. of Water and Power v. Manhart, 435 U. S. 702, 711 (1978). We have described the relevant question as whether the employment decision was \u201cbased on\u201d a discriminatory criterion, Teamsters v. United States, 431 U. S. 324, 358 (1977), or whether the particular employment decision at issue was \u201cmade on the basis of\u201d an impermissible factor, Cooper v. Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, 467 U. S. 867, 875 (1984).\nWhat we term \u201cbut-for\u201d cause is the least rigorous standard that is consistent with the approach to causation our precedents describe. If a motive is not a but-for cause of an event, then by definition it did not make a difference to the outcome. The event would have occurred just the same without it. Common-law approaches to causation often require proof of but-for cause as a starting point toward proof of legal cause. The law may require more than but-for cause, for instance proximate cause, before imposing liability. Any standard less than but-for, however, simply represents a decision to impose liability without causation. As Dean Prosser puts it, \u201c[a]n act or omission is not regarded as a cause of an event if the particular event would have occurred without it.\u201d W. Keeton, D. Dobbs, R. Keeton, & D. Owen, Prosser and Keeton on Law of Torts 265 (5th ed. 1984).\nOne of the principal reasons the plurality decision may sow confusion is that it claims Title VII liability is unrelated to but-for causation, yet it adopts a but-for standard once it has placed the burden of proof as to causation upon the employer. This approach conflates the question whether causation must be shown with the question of how it is to be shown. Because the plurality\u2019s theory of Title VII causation is ultimately consistent with a but-for standard, it might be said that my disagreement with the plurality\u2019s comments on but-for cause is simply academic. See ante, at 259 (opinion of WHITE, J.). But since those comments seem to influence the decision, I turn now to that part of the plurality\u2019s analysis.\nThe plurality begins by noting the quite unremarkable fact that Title VII is written in the present tense. Ante, at 240-241. It is unlawful \u201cto fail\u201d or \u201cto refuse\u201d to provide employment benefits on the basis of sex, not \u201cto have failed\u201d or \u201cto have refused\u201d to have done so. The plurality claims that the present tense excludes a but-for inquiry as the relevant standard because but-for causation is necessarily concerned with a hypothetical inquiry into how a past event would have occurred absent the contested motivation. This observation, however, tells us nothing of particular relevance to Title VII or the cause of action it creates. I am unaware of any federal prohibitory statute that is written in the past tense. Every liability determination, including the novel one constructed by the plurality, necessarily is concerned with the examination of a past event.[1] The plurality\u2019s analysis of verb tense serves only to divert attention from the causation requirement that is made part of the statute by the \u201cbecause of\u201d phrase. That phrase, I respectfully submit, embodies a rather simple concept that the plurality labors to ignore.[2]\nWe are told next that but-for cause is not required, since the words \u201cbecause of\u201d do not mean \u201csolely because of.\u201d Ante, at 241. No one contends, however, that sex must be the sole cause of a decision before there is a Title VII violation. This is a separate question from whether consideration of sex must be a cause of the decision. Under the accepted approach to causation that I have discussed, sex is a cause for the employment decision whenever, either by itself or in combination with other factors, it made a difference to the decision. Discrimination need not be the sole cause in order for liability to arise, but merely a necessary element of the set of factors that caused the decision, i. e., a but-for cause. See McDonald v. Santa Fe Trail Transportation Co., 427 U. S. 273, 282, n. 10 (1976). The plurality seems to say that since we know the words \u201cbecause of\u201d do not mean \u201csolely because of,\u201d they must not mean \u201cbecause of\u201d at all. This does not follow, as a matter of either semantics or logic.\nThe plurality\u2019s reliance on the \u201cbona fide occupational qualification\u201d (BFOQ) provisions of Title VII, 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 2000e-2(e), is particularly inapt. The BFOQ provisions allow an employer, in certain cases, to make an employment decision of which it is conceded that sex is the cause. That sex may be the legitimate cause of an employment decision where gender is a BFOQ is consistent with the opposite command that a decision caused by sex in any other case justifies the imposition of Title VII liability. This principle does not support, however, the novel assertion that a violation has occurred where sex made no difference to the outcome.\nThe most confusing aspect of the plurality\u2019s analysis of causation and liability is its internal inconsistency. The plurality begins by saying: \u201cWhen . . . an employer considers both gender and legitimate factors at the time of making a decision, that decision was `because of\u2019 sex and the other, legitimate considerations \u2014 even if we may say later, in the context of litigation, that the decision would have been the same if gender had not been taken into account.\u201d Ante, at 241. Yet it goes on to state that \u201can employer shall not be liable if it can prove that, even if it had not taken gender into account, it would have come to the same decision.\u201d Ante, at 242.\nGiven the language of the statute, these statements cannot both be true. Title VII unambiguously states that an employer who makes decisions \u201cbecause of\u201d sex has violated the statute. The plurality\u2019s first statement therefore appears to indicate that an employer who considers illegitimate reasons when making a decision is a violator. But the opinion then tells us that the employer who shows that the same decision would have been made absent consideration of sex is not a violator. If the second statement is to be reconciled with the language of Title VII, it must be that a decision that would have been the same absent consideration of sex was not made \u201cbecause of\u201d sex. In other words, there is no violation of the statute absent but-for causation. The plurality\u2019s description of the \u201csame decision\u201d test it adopts supports this view. The opinion states that \u201c[a] court that finds for a plaintiff under this standard has effectively concluded that an illegitimate motive was a `but-for\u2019 cause of the employment decision,\u201d ante, at 249, and that this \u201cis not an imposition of liability `where sex made no difference to the outcome,\u2019 \u201d ante, at 246, n. 11.\nThe plurality attempts to reconcile its internal inconsistency on the causation issue by describing the employer\u2019s showing as an \u201caffirmative defense.\u201d This is nothing more than a label, and one not found in the language or legislative history of Title VII. Section 703(a)(1) is the statutory basis of the cause of action, and the Court is obligated to explain how its disparate-treatment decisions are consistent with the terms of \u00a7 703(a)(1), not with general themes of legislative history or with other parts of the statute that are plainly inapposite. While the test ultimately adopted by the plurality may not be inconsistent with the terms of \u00a7 703(a)(1), see infra, at 292, the same cannot be said of the plurality\u2019s reasoning with respect to causation. As JUSTICE O\u2019CONNOR describes it, the plurality \u201creads the causation requirement out of the statute, and then replaces it with an `affirmative defense.\u2019 \u201d Ante, at 276. Labels aside, the import of today\u2019s decision is not that Title VII liability can arise without but-for causation, but that in certain cases it is not the plaintiff who must prove the presence of causation, but the defendant who must prove its absence.\nWe established the order of proof for individual Title VII disparate-treatment cases in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U. S. 792 (1973), and reaffirmed this allocation in Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U. S. 248 (1981). Under Burdine, once the plaintiff presents a prima facie case, an inference of discrimination arises. The employer must rebut the inference by articulating a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for its action. The final burden of persuasion, however, belongs to the plaintiff. Burdine makes clear that the \u201cultimate burden of persuading the trier of fact that the defendant intentionally discriminated against the plaintiff remains at all times with the plaintiff.\u201d Id., at 253. See also Board of Trustees of Keene State College v. Sweeney, 439 U. S. 24, 29 (1978) (STEVENS, J., dissenting).[3] I would adhere to this established evidentiary framework, which provides the appropriate standard for this and other individual disparate-treatment cases. Today\u2019s creation of a new set of rules for \u201cmixed-motives\u201d cases is not mandated by the statute itself. The Court\u2019s attempt at refinement provides limited practical benefits at the cost of confusion and complexity, with the attendant risk that the trier of fact will misapprehend the controlling legal principles and reach an incorrect decision.\nIn view of the plurality\u2019s treatment of Burdine and our other disparate-treatment cases, it is important first to state why those cases are dispositive here. The plurality tries to reconcile its approach with Burdine by announcing that it applies only to a \u201cpretext\u201d case, which it defines as a case in which the plaintiff attempts to prove that the employer\u2019s proffered explanation is itself false. Ante, at 245-247, and n. 11. This ignores the language of Burdine, which states that a plaintiff may succeed in meeting her ultimate burden of persuasion \u201ceither directly by persuading the court that a discriminatory reason more likely motivated the employer or indirectly by showing that the employer\u2019s proffered explanation is unworthy of credence.\u201d 450 U. S., at 256 (emphasis added). Under the first of these two alternative methods, a plaintiff meets her burden if she can \u201cpersuade the court that the employment decision more likely than not was motivated by a discriminatory reason.\u201d United States Postal Service Bd. of Governors v. Aikens, 460 U. S. 711, 717-718 (1983) (BLACKMUN, J., concurring). The plurality makes no attempt to address this aspect of our cases.\nOur opinions make plain that Burdine applies to all individual disparate-treatment cases, whether the plaintiff offers direct proof that discrimination motivated the employer\u2019s actions or chooses the indirect method of showing that the employer\u2019s proffered justification is false, that is to say, a pretext. See Aikens, supra, at 714, n. 3 (\u201cAs in any lawsuit, the plaintiff may prove his case by direct or circumstantial evidence\u201d). The plurality is mistaken in suggesting that the plaintiff in a so-called \u201cmixed-motives\u201d case will be disadvantaged by having to \u201csqueeze her proof into Burdine\u2019s framework.\u201d Ante, at 247. As we acknowledged in McDonnell Douglas, \u201c[t]he facts necessarily will vary in Title VII cases,\u201d and the specification of the prima facie case set forth there \u201cis not necessarily applicable in every respect to differing factual situations.\u201d 411 U. S., at 802, n. 13. The framework was \u201cnever intended to be rigid, mechanized, or ritualistic.\u201d Aikens, supra, at 715. Burdine compels the employer to come forward with its explanation of the decision and permits the plaintiff to offer evidence under either of the logical methods for proof of discrimination. This is hardly a framework that confines the plaintiff; still less is it a justification for saying that the ultimate burden of proof must be on the employer in a mixed-motives case. Burdine provides an orderly and adequate way to place both inferential and direct proof before the factfinder for a determination whether intentional discrimination has caused the employment decision. Regardless of the character of the evidence presented, we have consistently held that the ultimate burden \u201cremains at all times with the plaintiff.\u201d Burdine, supra, at 253.\nAikens illustrates the point. There, the evidence showed that the plaintiff, a black man, was far more qualified than any of the white applicants promoted ahead of him. More important, the testimony showed that \u201cthe person responsible for the promotion decisions at issue had made numerous derogatory comments about blacks in general and Aikens in particular.\u201d 460 U. S., at 713-714, n. 2. Yet the Court in Aikens reiterated that the case was to be tried under the proof scheme of Burdine. JUSTICE BRENNAN and JUSTICE BLACKMUN concurred to stress that the plaintiff could prevail under the Burdine scheme in either of two ways, one of which was directly to persuade the court that the employment decision was motivated by discrimination. 460 U. S., at 718. Aikens leaves no doubt that the so-called \u201cpretext\u201d framework of Burdine has been considered to provide a flexible means of addressing all individual disparate-treatment claims.\nDownplaying the novelty of its opinion, the plurality claims to have followed a \u201cwell-worn path\u201d from our prior cases. The path may be well worn, but it is in the wrong forest. The plurality again relies on Title VII\u2019s BFOQ provisions, under which an employer bears the burden of justifying the use of a sex-based employment qualification. See Dothard v. Rawlinson, 433 U. S. 321, 332-337 (1977). In the BFOQ context this is a sensible, indeed necessary, allocation of the burden, for there by definition sex is the but-for cause of the employment decision and the only question remaining is how the employer can justify it. The same is true of the plurality\u2019s citations to Pregnancy Discrimination Act cases, ante, at 248. In such cases there is no question that pregnancy was the cause of the disputed action. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act and BFOQ cases tell us nothing about the case where the employer claims not that a sex-based decision was justified, but that the decision was not sex-based at all.\nCloser analogies to the plurality\u2019s new approach are found in Mt. Healthy City Bd. of Ed. v. Doyle, 429 U. S. 274 (1977), and NRLB v. Transportation Management Corp., 462 U. S. 393 (1983), but these cases were decided in different contexts. Mt. Healthy was a First Amendment case involving the firing of a teacher, and Transportation Management involved review of the NLRB\u2019s interpretation of the National Labor Relations Act. The Transportation Management decision was based on the deference that the Court traditionally accords NLRB interpretations of the statutes it administers. See 462 U. S., at 402-403. Neither case therefore tells us why the established Burdine framework should not continue to govern the order of proof under Title VII.\nIn contrast to the plurality, JUSTICE O\u2019CONNOR acknowledges that the approach adopted today is a \u201cdeparture from the McDonnell Douglas standard.\u201d Ante, at 262. Although her reasons for supporting this departure are not without force, they are not dispositive. As JUSTICE O\u2019CONNOR states, the most that can be said with respect to the Title VII itself is that \u201cnothing in the language, history, or purpose of Title VII prohibits adoption\u201d of the new approach. Ante, at 269 (emphasis added). JUSTICE O\u2019CONNOR also relies on analogies from the common law of torts, other types of Title VII litigation, and our equal protection cases. These analogies demonstrate that shifts in the burden of proof are not unprecedented in the law of torts or employment discrimination. Nonetheless, I believe continued adherence to the Burdine framework is more consistent with the statutory mandate. Congress\u2019 manifest concern with preventing imposition of liability in cases where discriminatory animus did not actually cause an adverse action, see ante, at 262 (opinion of O\u2019CONNOR, J.), suggests to me that an affirmative showing of causation should be required. And the most relevant portion of the legislative history supports just this view. See n. 3, supra. The limited benefits that are likely to be produced by today\u2019s innovation come at the sacrifice of clarity and practical application.\nThe potential benefits of the new approach, in my view, are overstated. First, the Court makes clear that the Price Waterhouse scheme is applicable only in those cases where the plaintiff has produced direct and substantial proof that an impermissible motive was relied upon in making the decision at issue. The burden shift properly will be found to apply in only a limited number of employment discrimination cases. The application of the new scheme, furthermore, will make a difference only in a smaller subset of cases. The practical importance of the burden of proof is the \u201crisk of nonpersuasion,\u201d and the new system will make a difference only where the evidence is so evenly balanced that the factfinder cannot say that either side\u2019s explanation of the case is \u201cmore likely\u201d true. This category will not include cases in which the allocation of the burden of proof will be dispositive because of a complete lack of evidence on the causation issue. Cf. Summers v. Tice, 33 Cal. 2d 80, 199 P. 2d 1 (1948) (allocation of burden dispositive because no evidence of which of two negligently fired shots hit plaintiff). Rather, Price Waterhouse will apply only to cases in which there is substantial evidence of reliance on an impermissible motive, as well as evidence from the employer that legitimate reasons supported its action.\nAlthough the Price Waterhouse system is not for every case, almost every plaintiff is certain to ask for a Price Waterhouse instruction, perhaps on the basis of \u201cstray remarks\u201d or other evidence of discriminatory animus. Trial and appellate courts will therefore be saddled with the task of developing standards for determining when to apply the burden shift. One of their new tasks will be the generation of a jurisprudence of the meaning of \u201csubstantial factor.\u201d Courts will also be required to make the often subtle and difficult distinction between \u201cdirect\u201d and \u201cindirect\u201d or \u201ccircumstantial\u201d evidence. Lower courts long have had difficulty applying McDonnell Douglas and Burdine. Addition of a second burden-shifting mechanism, the application of which itself depends on assessment of credibility and a determination whether evidence is sufficiently direct and substantial, is not likely to lend clarity to the process. The presence of an existing burden-shifting mechanism distinguishes the individual disparate-treatment case from the tort, class-action discrimination, and equal protection cases on which JUSTICE O\u2019CONNOR relies. The distinction makes JUSTICE WHITE\u2019S assertions that one \u201cneed look only to\u201d Mt. Healthy and Transportation Management to resolve this case, and that our Title VII cases in this area are \u201cinapposite,\u201d ante, at 258-260, at best hard to understand.\nConfusion in the application of dual burden-shifting mechanisms will be most acute in cases brought under 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 1981 or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), where courts borrow the Title VII order of proof for the conduct of jury trials. See, e. g., Note, The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and Trial by Jury: Proposals for Change, 73 Va. L. Rev. 601 (1987) (noting high reversal rate caused by use of Title VII burden shifting in a jury setting). Perhaps such cases in the future will require a bifurcated trial, with the jury retiring first to make the credibility findings necessary to determine whether the plaintiff has proved that an impermissible factor played a substantial part in the decision, and later hearing evidence on the \u201csame decision\u201d or \u201cpretext\u201d issues. Alternatively, perhaps the trial judge will have the unenviable task of formulating a single instruction for the jury on all of the various burdens potentially involved in the case.\nI do not believe the minor refinement in Title VII procedures accomplished by today\u2019s holding can justify the difficulties that will accompany it. Rather, I \u201cremain confident that the McDonnell Douglas framework permits the plaintiff meriting relief to demonstrate intentional discrimination.\u201d Burdine, 450 U. S., at 258. Although the employer does not bear the burden of persuasion under Burdine, it must offer clear and reasonably specific reasons for the contested decision, and has every incentive to persuade the trier of fact that the decision was lawful. Ibid. Further, the suggestion that the employer should bear the burden of persuasion due to superior access to evidence has little force in the Title VII context, where the liberal discovery rules available to all litigants are supplemented by EEOC investigatory files. Ibid. In sum, the Burdine framework provides a \u201csensible, orderly way to evaluate the evidence in light of common experience as it bears on the critical question of discrimination,\u201d Aikens, 460 U. S., at 715, and it should continue to govern the order of proof in Title VII disparate-treatment cases.[4]\nThe ultimate question in every individual disparate-treatment case is whether discrimination caused the particular decision at issue. Some of the plurality\u2019s comments with respect to the District Court\u2019s findings in this case, however, are potentially misleading. As the plurality notes, the District Court based its liability determination on expert evidence that some evaluations of respondent Hopkins were based on unconscious sex stereotypes,[5] and on the fact that Price Waterhouse failed to disclaim reliance on these comments when it conducted the partnership review. The District Court also based liability on Price Waterhouse\u2019s failure to \u201cmake partners sensitive to the dangers [of stereotyping], to discourage comments tainted by sexism, or to investigate comments to determine whether they were influenced by stereotypes.\u201d 618 F. Supp. 1109, 1119 (DC 1985).\nAlthough the District Court\u2019s version of Title VII liability is improper under any of today\u2019s opinions, I think it important to stress that Title VII creates no independent cause of action for sex stereotyping. Evidence of use by decisionmakers of sex stereotypes is, of course, quite relevant to the question of discriminatory intent. The ultimate question, however, is whether discrimination caused the plaintiff\u2019s harm. Our cases do not support the suggestion that failure to \u201cdisclaim reliance\u201d on stereotypical comments itself violates Title VII. Neither do they support creation of a \u201cduty to sensitize.\u201d As the dissenting judge in the Court of Appeals observed, acceptance of such theories would turn Title VII \u201cfrom a prohibition of discriminatory conduct into an engine for rooting out sexist thoughts.\u201d 263 U. S. App. D. C. 321, 340, 825 F. 2d 458, 477 (1987) (Williams, J., dissenting).\nEmployment discrimination claims require factfinders to make difficult and sensitive decisions. Sometimes this may mean that no finding of discrimination is justified even though a qualified employee is passed over by a less than admirable employer. In other cases, Title VII\u2019s protections properly extend to plaintiffs who are by no means model employees. As JUSTICE BRENNAN notes, ante, at 258, courts do not sit to determine whether litigants are nice. In this case, Hopkins plainly presented a strong case both of her own professional qualifications and of the presence of discrimination in Price Waterhouse\u2019s partnership process. Had the District Court found on this record that sex discrimination caused the adverse decision, I doubt it would have been reversible error. Cf. Aikens, supra, at 714, n. 2. That decision was for the finder of fact, however, and the District Court made plain that sex discrimination was not a but-for cause of the decision to place Hopkins\u2019 partnership candidacy on hold. Attempts to evade tough decisions by erecting novel theories of liability or multitiered systems of shifting burdens are misguided.\nThe language of Title VII and our well-considered precedents require this plaintiff to establish that the decision to place her candidacy on hold was made \u201cbecause of\u201d sex. Here the District Court found that the \u201ccomments of the individual partners and the expert evidence of Dr. Fiske do not prove an intentional discriminatory motive or purpose,\u201d 618 F. Supp., at 1118, and that \u201c[b]ecause plaintiff has considerable problems dealing with staff and peers, the Court cannot say that she would have been elected to partnership if the Policy Board\u2019s decision had not been tainted by sexually based evaluations,\u201d id., at 1120. Hopkins thus failed to meet the requisite standard of proof after a full trial. I would remand the case for entry of judgment in favor of Price Waterhouse.\n[*] Robert E. Williams and Douglas S. McDowell filed a brief for the Equal Employment Advisory Council as amicus curiae urging reversal.\n[1] Before the time for reconsideration came, two of the partners in Hopkins\u2019 office withdrew their support for her, and the office informed her that she would not be reconsidered for partnership. Hopkins then resigned. Price Waterhouse does not challenge the Court of Appeals\u2019 conclusion that the refusal to repropose her for partnership amounted to a constructive discharge. That court remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings to determine appropriate relief, and those proceedings have been stayed pending our decision. Brief for Petitioner 15, n. 3. We are concerned today only with Price Waterhouse\u2019s decision to place Hopkins\u2019 candidacy on hold. Decisions pertaining to advancement to partnership are, of course, subject to challenge under Title VII. Hishon v. King & Spalding, 467 U. S. 69 (1984).\n[2] This question has, to say the least, left the Circuits in disarray. The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Circuits require a plaintiff challenging an adverse employment decision to show that, but for her gender (or race or religion or national origin), the decision would have been in her favor. See, e. g., Bellissimo v. Westinghouse Electric Corp., 764 F. 2d 175, 179 (CA3 1985), cert. denied, 475 U. S. 1035 (1986); Ross v. Communications Satellite Corp., 759 F. 2d 355, 365-366 (CA4 1985); Peters v. Shreveport, 818 F. 2d 1148, 1161 (CA5 1987); McQuillen v. Wisconsin Education Assn. Council, 830 F. 2d 659, 664-665 (CA7 1987). The First, Second, Sixth, and Eleventh Circuits, on the other hand, hold that once the plaintiff has shown that a discriminatory motive was a \u201csubstantial\u201d or \u201cmotivating\u201d factor in an employment decision, the employer may avoid a finding of liability only by proving that it would have made the same decision even in the absence of discrimination. These courts have either specified that the employer must prove its case by a preponderance of the evidence or have not mentioned the proper standard of proof. See, e. g., Fields v. Clark University, 817 F. 2d 931, 936-937 (CA1 1987) (\u201cmotivating factor\u201d); Berl v. Westchester County, 849 F. 2d 712, 714-715 (CA2 1988) (\u201csubstantial part\u201d); Terbovitz v. Fiscal Court of Adair County, Ky., 825 F. 2d 111, 115 (CA6 1987) (\u201cmotivating factor\u201d); Bell v. Birmingham Linen Service, 715 F. 2d 1552, 1557 (CA11 1983). The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, as shown in this case, follows the same rule except that it requires that the employer\u2019s proof be clear and convincing rather than merely preponderant. 263 U. S. App. D. C. 321, 333-334, 825 F. 2d 458, 470-471 (1987); see also Toney v. Block, 227 U. S. App. D. C. 273, 275, 705 F. 2d 1364, 1366 (1983) (Scalia, J.) (it would be \u201cdestructive of the purposes of [Title VII] to require the plaintiff to establish . . . the difficult hypothetical proposition that, had there been no discrimination, the employment decision would have been made in his favor\u201d). The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit also requires clear and convincing proof, but it goes further by holding that a Title VII violation is made out as soon as the plaintiff shows that an impermissible motivation played a part in an employment decision \u2014 at which point the employer may avoid reinstatement and an award of backpay by proving that it would have made the same decision in the absence of the unlawful motive. See, e. g. Fadhl v. City and County of San Francisco, 741 F. 2d 1163, 1165-1166 (1984) (Kennedy, J.) (\u201csignificant factor\u201d). Last, the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit draws the same distinction as the Ninth between the liability and remedial phases of Title VII litigation, but requires only a preponderance of the evidence from the employer. See, e. g., Bibbs v. Block, 778 F. 2d 1318, 1320-1324 (1985) (en banc) (\u201cdiscernible factor\u201d).\n[3] We disregard, for purposes of this discussion, the special context of affirmative action.\n[4] Congress specifically declined to require that an employment decision have been \u201cfor cause\u201d in order to escape an affirmative penalty (such as reinstatement or backpay) from a court. As introduced in the House, the bill that became Title VII forbade such affirmative relief if an \u201cindividual was . . . refused employment or advancement, or was suspended or discharged for cause.\u201d H. R. Rep. No. 7152, 88th Cong., 1st Sess., 77 (1963) (emphasis added). The phrase \u201cfor cause\u201d eventually was deleted in favor of the phrase \u201cfor any reason other than\u201d one of the enumerated characteristics. See 110 Cong. Rec. 2567-2571 (1964). Representative Celler explained that this substitution \u201cspecif[ied] cause\u201d; in his view, a court \u201ccannot find any violation of the act which is based on facts other . . . than discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, or national origin.\u201d Id., at 2567.\n[5] In this Court, Hopkins for the first time argues that Price Waterhouse violated \u00a7 703(a)(2) when it subjected her to a biased decisionmaking process that \u201ctended to deprive\u201d a woman of partnership on the basis of her sex. Since Hopkins did not make this argument below, we do not address it.\n[6] We made passing reference to a similar question in McDonald v. Santa Fe Trail Transportation Co., 427 U. S. 273, 282, n. 10 (1976), where we stated that when a Title VII plaintiff seeks to show that an employer\u2019s explanation for a challenged employment decision is pretextual, \u201cno more is required to be shown than that race was a `but for\u2019 cause.\u201d This passage, however, does not suggest that the plaintiff must show but-for cause; it indicates only that if she does so, she prevails. More important, McDonald dealt with the question whether the employer\u2019s stated reason for its decision was the reason for its action; unlike the case before us today, therefore, McDonald did not involve mixed motives. This difference is decisive in distinguishing this case from those involving \u201cpretext.\u201d See infra, at 247, n. 12.\n[7] Congress specifically rejected an amendment that would have placed the word \u201csolely\u201d in front of the words \u201cbecause of.\u201d 110 Cong. Rec. 2728, 13837 (1964).\n[8] We have in the past acknowledged the authoritativeness of this interpretive memorandum, written by the two bipartisan \u201ccaptains\u201d of Title VII. See, e. g., Firefighters v. Stotts, 467 U. S. 561, 581, n. 14 (1984).\n[9] Many of the legislators\u2019 statements, such as the memorandum quoted in text, focused specifically on race rather than on gender or religion or national origin. We do not, however, limit their statements to the context of race, but instead we take them as general statements on the meaning of Title VII. The somewhat bizarre path by which \u201csex\u201d came to be included as a forbidden criterion for employment \u2014 it was included in an attempt to defeat the bill, see C. & B. Whalen, The Longest Debate: A Legislative History of the 1964 Civil Rights Act 115-117 (1985) \u2014 does not persuade us that the legislators\u2019 statements pertaining to race are irrelevant to cases alleging gender discrimination. The amendment that added \u201csex\u201d as one of the forbidden criteria for employment was passed, of course, and the statute on its face treats each of the enumerated categories exactly the same.\nBy the same token, our specific references to gender throughout this opinion, and the principles we announce, apply with equal force to discrimination based on race, religion, or national origin.\n[10] Hopkins argues that once she made this showing, she was entitled to a finding that Price Waterhouse had discriminated against her on the basis of sex; as a consequence, she says, the partnership\u2019s proof could only limit the relief she received. She relies on Title VII\u2019s \u00a7 706(g), which permits a court to award affirmative relief when it finds that an employer \u201chas intentionally engaged in or is intentionally engaging in an unlawful employment practice,\u201d and yet forbids a court to order reinstatement of, or backpay to, \u201can individual . . . if such individual was refused . . . employment or advancement or was suspended or discharged for any reason other than discrimination on account of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.\u201d 42 U. S. C. \u00a7 2000e-5(g) (emphasis added). We do not take this provision to mean that a court inevitably can find a violation of the statute without having considered whether the employment decision would have been the same absent the impermissible motive. That would be to interpret \u00a7 706(g) \u2014 a provision defining remedies \u2014 to influence the substantive commands of the statute. We think that this provision merely limits courts\u2019 authority to award affirmative relief in those circumstances in which a violation of the statute is not dependent upon the effect of the employer\u2019s discriminatory practices on a particular employee, as in pattern-or-practice suits and class actions. \u201cThe crucial difference between an individual\u2019s claim of discrimination and a class action alleging a general pattern or practice of discrimination is manifest. The inquiry regarding an individual\u2019s claim is the reason for a particular employment decision, while `at the liability stage of a pattern-or-practice trial the focus often will not be on individual hiring decisions, but on a pattern of discriminatory decisionmaking.\u2019 \u201d Cooper v. Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, 467 U. S. 867, 876 (1984), quoting Teamsters v. United States, 431 U. S. 324, 360, n. 46 (1977).\nWithout explicitly mentioning this portion of \u00a7 706(g), we have in the past held that Title VII does not authorize affirmative relief for individuals as to whom, the employer shows, the existence of systemic discrimination had no effect. See Franks v. Bowman Transportation Co., 424 U. S. 747, 772 (1976); Teamsters v. United States, supra, at 367-371; East Texas Motor Freight System, Inc. v. Rodriguez, 431 U. S. 395, 404, n. 9 (1977). These decisions suggest that the proper focus of \u00a7 706(g) is on claims of systemic discrimination, not on charges of individual discrimination. Cf. NLRB v. Transportation Management Corp., 462 U. S. 393 (1983) (upholding the National Labor Relations Board\u2019s identical interpretation of \u00a7 10(c) of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U. S. C. \u00a7 160(c), which contains language almost identical to \u00a7 706(g)).\n[11] Given that both the plaintiff and defendant bear a burden of proof in cases such as this one, it is surprising that the dissent insists that our approach requires the employer to bear \u201cthe ultimate burden of proof.\u201d Post, at 288. It is, moreover, perfectly consistent to say both that gender was a factor in a particular decision when it was made and that, when the situation is viewed hypothetically and after the fact, the same decision would have been made even in the absence of discrimination. Thus, we do not see the \u201cinternal inconsistency\u201d in our opinion that the dissent perceives. See post, at 285-286. Finally, where liability is imposed because an employer is unable to prove that it would have made the same decision even if it had not discriminated, this is not an imposition of liability \u201cwhere sex made no difference to the outcome.\u201d Post, at 285. In our adversary system, where a party has the burden of proving a particular assertion and where that party is unable to meet its burden, we assume that that assertion is inaccurate. Thus, where an employer is unable to prove its claim that it would have made the same decision in the absence of discrimination, we are entitled to conclude that gender did make a difference to the outcome.\n[12] Nothing in this opinion should be taken to suggest that a case must be correctly labeled as either a \u201cpretext\u201d case or a \u201cmixed-motives\u201d case from the beginning in the District Court; indeed, we expect that plaintiffs often will allege, in the alternative, that their cases are both. Discovery often will be necessary before the plaintiff can know whether both legitimate and illegitimate considerations played a part in the decision against her. At some point in the proceedings, of course, the District Court must decide whether a particular case involves mixed motives. If the plaintiff fails to satisfy the factfinder that it is more likely than not that a forbidden characteristic played a part in the employment decision, then she may prevail only if she proves, following Burdine, that the employer\u2019s stated reason for its decision is pretextual. The dissent need not worry that this evidentiary scheme, if used during a jury trial, will be so impossibly confused and complex as it imagines. See, e. g., post, at 292. Juries long have decided cases in which defendants raised affirmative defenses. The dissent fails, moreover, to explain why the evidentiary scheme that we endorsed over 10 years ago in Mt. Healthy City Bd. of Ed. v. Doyle, 429 U. S. 274 (1977), has not proved unworkable in that context but would be hopelessly complicated in a case brought under federal antidiscrimination statutes.\n[13] After comparing this description of the plaintiff\u2019s proof to that offered by JUSTICE O\u2019CONNOR\u2019s opinion concurring in the judgment, post, at 276-277, we do not understand why the concurrence suggests that they are meaningfully different from each other, see post, at 275, 277-279. Nor do we see how the inquiry that we have described is \u201chypothetical,\u201d see post, at 283, n. 1. It seeks to determine the content of the entire set of reasons for a decision, rather than shaving off one reason in an attempt to determine what the decision would have been in the absence of that consideration. The inquiry that we describe thus strikes us as a distinctly non-hypothetical one.\n[14] JUSTICE WHITE\u2019s suggestion, post, at 261, that the employer\u2019s own testimony as to the probable decision in the absence of discrimination is due special credence where the court has, contrary to the employer\u2019s testimony, found that an illegitimate factor played a part in the decision, is baffling.\n[15] We reject the claim, advanced by Price Waterhouse here and by the dissenting judge below, that the District Court clearly erred in finding that Beyer was \u201cresponsible for telling [Hopkins] what problems the Policy Board had identified with her candidacy.\u201d 618 F. Supp., at 1117. This conclusion was reasonable in light of the testimony at trial of a member of both the Policy Board and the Admissions Committee, who stated that he had \u201cno doubt\u201d that Beyer would discuss with Hopkins the reasons for placing her candidacy on hold and that Beyer \u201cknew exactly where the problems were\u201d regarding Hopkins. Tr. 316.\n[16] We do not understand the dissenters\u2019 dissatisfaction with the District Judge\u2019s statements regarding the failure of Price Waterhouse to \u201csensitize\u201d partners to the dangers of sexism. Post, at 294. Made in the context of determining that Price Waterhouse had not disclaimed reliance on sex-based evaluations, and following the judge\u2019s description of the firm\u2019s history of condoning such evaluations, the judge\u2019s remarks seem to us justified.\n[*] I agree with the plurality that if the employer carries this burden, there has been no violation of Title VII.\n[1] The plurality\u2019s description of its own standard is both hypothetical and retrospective. The inquiry seeks to determine whether \u201cif we asked the employer at the moment of decision what its reasons were and if we received a truthful response, one of those reasons would be that the applicant or employee was a woman.\u201d Ante, at 250.\n[2] The plurality\u2019s discussion of overdetermined causes only highlights the error of its insistence that but-for is not the substantive standard of causation under Title VII. The opinion discusses the situation where two physical forces move an object, and either force acting alone would have moved the object. Ante, at 241. Translated to the context of Title VII, this situation would arise where an employer took an adverse action in reliance both on sex and on legitimate reasons, and either the illegitimate or the legitimate reason standing alone would have produced the action. If this state of affairs is proved to the factfinder, there will be no liability under the plurality\u2019s own test, for the same decision would have been made had the illegitimate reason never been considered.\n[3] The interpretive memorandum on which the plurality relies makes plain that \u201cthe plaintiff, as in any civil case, would have the burden of proving that discrimination had occurred.\u201d 110 Cong. Rec. 7214 (1964). Coupled with its earlier definition of discrimination, the memorandum tells us that the plaintiff bears the burden of showing that an impermissible motive \u201cmade a difference\u201d in the treatment of the plaintiff. This is none other than the traditional requirement that the plaintiff show but-for cause.\n[4] The plurality states that it disregards the special context of affirmative action. Ante, at 239, n. 3. It is not clear that this is possible. Some courts have held that in a suit challenging an affirmative-action plan, the question of the plan\u2019s validity need not be reached unless the plaintiff shows that the plan was a but-for cause of the adverse decision. See McQuillen v. Wisconsin Education Association Council, 830 F. 2d 659, 665 (CA7 1987), cert. denied, 485 U. S. 914 (1988). Presumably it will be easier for a plaintiff to show that consideration of race or sex pursuant to an affirmative-action plan was a substantial factor in a decision, and the court will need to move on to the question of a plan\u2019s validity. Moreover, if the structure of the burdens of proof in Title VII suits is to be consistent, as might be expected given the identical statutory language involved, today\u2019s decision suggests that plaintiffs should no longer bear the burden of showing that affirmative-action plans are illegal. See Johnson v. Transportation Agency, Santa Clara County, 480 U. S. 616, 626-627 (1987).\n[5] The plaintiff who engages the services of Dr. Susan Fiske should have no trouble showing that sex discrimination played a part in any decision. Price Waterhouse chose not to object to Fiske\u2019s testimony, and at this late stage we are constrained to accept it, but I think the plurality\u2019s enthusiasm for Fiske\u2019s conclusions unwarranted. Fiske purported to discern stereotyping in comments that were gender neutral \u2014 e. g., \u201coverbearing and abrasive\u201d \u2014 without any knowledge of the comments\u2019 basis in reality and without having met the speaker or subject. \u201cTo an expert of Dr. Fiske\u2019s qualifications, it seems plain that no woman could be overbearing, arrogant, or abrasive: any observations to that effect would necessarily be discounted as the product of stereotyping. If analysis like this is to prevail in federal courts, no employer can base any adverse action as to a woman on such attributes.\u201d 263 U. S. App. D. C. 321, 340, 825 F. 2d 458, 477 (1987) (Williams, J., dissenting). Today\u2019s opinions cannot be read as requiring factfinders to credit testimony based on this type of analysis. See also ante, at 277 (opinion of O\u2019CONNOR, J.).",

She says Ford had no choice but to make an emergency landing.\nThe statement says Ford is in the hospital receiving care, and his injuries are not life-threatening.\nHis son tweeted late Thursday afternoon:\nThe 72-year-old \u201cStar Wars\u201d and \u201cIndiana Jones\u201d actor had just taken off from Santa Monica Municipal Airport when he reported the engine trouble and then crash-landed just short of the runway on the golf course. Witnesses say the two-seater fighter plane crashed in front of the 8th hole green on the Penmar Golf Course in Venice.\nElaine Miller told KABC-TV the plane glided in without noise and landed right-side up. The pilot had gashes to his head and was bleeding but walked away from the wreckage.\nThe NTSB will investigate the crash, which is routine.\nFord is a long-time airplane and helicopter pilot and has attended EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh. In 2004 he was named chairman of the EAA Young Eagles program which introduces children to aviation and served in the position for 5 years. In 2000, he piloted a helicopter and rescued a missing hiker in Wyoming.\nThe EAA issued this statement Thursday night on behalf of Experimental Aircraft Association Chairman Jack J. Pelton:\nOur wishes for a speedy and full recovery are with our friend and longtime EAA member Harrison Ford. Harrison is an experienced general aviation pilot who has been an outstanding advocate for flying, especially in his six years as chairman of EAA\u2019s Young Eagles program, which has introduced more than 1.9 million young people to flight. His flying experience and proficiency served him well today. I speak for all EAA members in saying he has our support and best wishes at this time.\nFord recently returned to his role as Han Solo in the seventh \u201cStar Wars\u201d movie, scheduled to be released in December. He broke a leg during filming last year, which delayed production.\nJust this week it was confirmed Ford would reprise his role of Rick Deckard in a sequel to the 1982 film \u201cBlade Runner,\u201d with filming to start next year.\nhttp://wbay.com/2015/03/05/harrison-ford-crashes-plane-on-golf-course/",

He attended schools in Tucson, graduating from Tucson High School mid-year of 1945. He received both his B.S. and M.Ed. degrees at the U of A. He was employed by the Tucson Unified School District for 34 years, serving as P.E. teacher, coach, department chairman, athletic director, dean of boys, and assistant principal. He worked in four schools, Mansfeld Jr. High and Tucson, Pueblo and Sahuaro high schools.\nDuring his tenure in TUSD, Harry\u2019s professional activities included TEA Salary Chairman; the Professional Negotiations Team; NEA Salary School (Washington DC); president of the Arizona Health, Physical Education and Recreation Association, State Presidents Conference (Washington DC) and member of the Board of Directors for the Southwest District of the national association; and Governor\u2019s Council on Youth Fitness. He was a member of the Tucson, Arizona, and American Coaches Association and also served as secretary for the southern Division of the Arizona Interscholastic Association.\nHarry\u2019s commitment reaches into the Tucson community through his association with an impressive number of community organizations including the American Red Cross, YMCA Aquatics and Fundraising; American Cancer Society Education Committee, eight years of service on a Pima County Foster Care Review Board and three years on the State Foster Care Review Board. He is very active in his church, the Saguaro Christian Church, where one of his main projects is work toward betterment of their Infant Center, a day care program for newborns through two years old.\nHarry served six years on the Board of the Tucson High Badger Foundation\u2014filling the posts of treasurer, secretary and president. He was so impressed that he went back to Sahuaro High and working with David Aschraft and Ann Grosse initiated the Sahuaro Cougar Foundation, using all he had learned from John Barringer and the Badger Foundation. Harry is sure that the \u201cSahuaro\u2013ites\u201d got sick of hearing how the Badger Foundation did it, but the model served Sahuaro well. He was a founding member and served on the board as treasurer, secretary, and president and was chairman of Sahuaro\u2019s \u201cSilver Celebration.\u201d\nHarry states that one of his greatest accomplishments was having four wonderful children: Beth Brinkley, Barbara Johnson, Sterling (deceased) and George Christopher (Chris). Beth\u2019s three daughters, Barbara, Sarah, and Maggi, are the apples of grandpa\u2019s eye. His other accomplishment was marrying Fran (Tegarden), THS \u201960.\nIn 1983, when Harry retired, the Sahuaro High School Student Council honored him by establishing the Harry Johnson Cougar Spirit Award to recognize the student who best exemplifies \u201cThe Cougar Spirit.\u201d Harry has also been made an honorary member of the NAEOP and the AEOPA (national and state Educational Office Professionals). In 1995 was inducted into the Sahuaro Cougar Foundation Hall of Fame, and in 1996 is being honored by the Tucson High Badgers.",

But not all Roma asylum requests are fake\nLast week Germany confirmed it is moving forward with the proposed changes in its federal asylum regulation and declaring the Balkan countries as safe. This would mean the shortening of Germany's procedure for reviewing asylum claims, which would in turn remove the financial incentive for false claimants from the Balkans. This is much welcome news in the region. If Germany leads the way and promotes changes to discourage new claimant arrivals, a large part of the problem could be solved and the Balkans could avoid the risk of having visas reinstated.\nExperts and think tanks have been suggesting the shortening of asylum procedures and cutting of benefits as a potential solution to the problem for quite some time. However, some EU member states felt that Balkan governments should deal with \u201ctheir own\u201d problem.\nIn a European Union hit by an economic crisis as never before in its history, the Parliament is the only institution directly elected by the European citizens. For this reason the European elections in May 2014 are a unique moment for strengthening \u2013 through participation \u2013 the European political project.\nThrough BeEu, Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso and 7 other media partners in 6 European countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Romania and Slovenia) wish to contribute to reinforcing European citizenship by giving information and stimulating debate on the activities and choices of the Parliament, the house we share, and on the most crucial themes for Europe's future: migration, sustainability, rights and enlargement.\nBeEu is a way to approach the European elections, support them and understand their implications for the future of our Europe.\nOver 4,300 Macedonian citizens were not allowed to exit the country in the first three quarters of 2013 under national regulation aiming to prevent abuse of the visa-free travel within the Schengen area, reported the Macedonian Ministry of Interior (MoI) in December of last year. Even though not reported, it can be assumed that most of them were Roma. The number was, according to MoI an increase of 36% compared to the same period of 2012. The ministry also reported that criminal charges for abuse of visa-free travel were filed in 15 cases.\nTrying to fight the phenomenon of false asylum seeking - the poorest of the poor, most often Roma, traveling to rich EU countries and posing as politically persecuted at home in order to collect the social benefits that go with the asylum claim - the Macedonian government made the abuse of visa-free travel a crime back in 2011. Last December a person was sentenced to 8 years in prison on such charges. The sentence came a couple of weeks after the meeting of the European Council on 5 December, which adopted the mechanism for temporary suspension of the visa-free regime, primarily aimed at the countries from the Western Balkans. The mechanism was previously (12 September 2013) adopted by the European Parliament with 328 EUMPs supporting it, 257 voting \u201cno\u201d, and 48 abstaining.\nDespite the reported efforts of the Macedonian government last year, a total of 6,208 Macedonian citizens claimed asylum in Germany alone, according to the country's immigration authorities. This was by 36.6% more compared to 2012, when the number of claimants from Macedonia was 4,546.\nGermany remains the most attractive destination for false asylum seekers from the Balkans, and Macedonia remains one of the region's top countries of origin of false asylum seekers. The regional champion in nominal terms is Serbia, which last year produced some 11,500 false asylum seekers before the German immigration authorities, but given that difference in size between the two countries, the numbers from Macedonia are naturally bigger. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, and Albania are equally substantial contributors to the problem too.\nFreedom of movement, one of the founding principles of the EU, is also one of the most controversial and politicised issues in the European public space. The long, complex process of visa liberalization for the Western Balkan countries, completed in 2009-2010, is no exception. \"[The exemption from the visa] is a chance to travel [...] to get to know each other better, but does not give the right to work or reside in the EU\", Cecilia Malmstr\u00f6m, Commissioner for Home Affairs, had made clear after the OK from the EU Commission. An early warning which resulted in the proposal to introduce a suspension mechanism, mainly due to the concerns of countries like Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and France on the topic of immigration, fuelled by the issue of \"bogus asylum seekers\". The discussion has often starred the European Parliament which, after a lively plenary session, approved the suspension mechanism in September 2013. A decision that Tanja Fajon, MEP and long-time Parliament's rapporteur on the issue of visas, described as \"not balanced, nor expression of a good compromise\".\nThe total estimated number of false asylum seekers from the region in 2013 was between 38-42,000. In 2012, the number stood similarly at around 43,000. Up to half of these went to Germany. Other major destination countries are Sweden and Belgium, reportedly, mostly on account of the longer asylum procedure combined with generous financial assistance for the claimants. Other EU countries, such as France or The Netherlands, have largely avoided the problem thanks to their less \u201cattractive\u201d asylum systems.\nThe problem appeared with visa liberalization in 2009 and 2010. Since then, the numbers of false claimants from the Balkans has been increasing year by year. Almost none of them have been given asylum. The claimants themselves knew they would not get it. Many admit they do it only in order to collect the financial assistance, to \u201cgo through the winter\u201d as they say.\nThe EU has pressed the Balkan countries hard to solve the problem. The threat of reinstating the visa requirement, which was made very real with the adoption of the temporary suspension mechanism, is indeed a powerful weapon. Balkan citizens fear the visa regime.\nHowever, the problem is complex. The Macedonian government boasted the numbers of persons whose rights to exit the country were restricted simply to please the EU. But this practice is very problematic on human rights grounds. Increasingly, Roma, who are the prime target of the measure, have been complaining to the media that they have not been allowed to travel abroad. People obviously get banned based on the color of their \u201cRoma\u201d skin or their names, the basis for police assumptions about potential abusers of visa-free travel. And it is easily assumed that the number of discrimination cases reported by the media are fewer than the actual number, given the lack of interest in side of the story of people being discriminated against. Roma are by and large perceived as the perpetrators, and the general public is not sympathetic to their plight, and sees them as a liability to the visa-free travel regime.\nGermany's new approach can apparently be effective. Switzerland applied it promptly in response to the rising numbers of false asylum seekers, and it produced prompt results. The argument put forward by some countries \u2014 that they do not want to change their asylum laws to help Balkan government deal with \u201ctheir\u201d problem \u2014 is one sided. Former Serbian Prime Minister Ivica Dacic put it correctly last December when he tried to explain that Serbia simply cannot ban all potential false claimants from exiting the country. He said that the generous benefits attached to the asylum procedure were too \u201ctempting\u201d for his country's poor since they often exceeded the average salary in Serbia.\nBeing the most discriminated against segment of society in the region, Roma do not get much sympathy as it is, let alone in this new situation when they are blamed for the looming return of the visa regime. If the visas were really to be reinstated, even temporarily, Roma might be blamed, more more strongly discriminated against, or otherwise victimized. The shortening of the process for people from the Balkans on the general grounds that their countries are safe, was criticized by liberals in some EU countries as a denial of the right to a proper review of the asylum claim. They argued that in some cases, the Roma are indeed persecuted. True: they are the most common victims of human rights abuses, but that needs to be balanced against what they could suffer if they are suddenly blamed by the rest of society for being responsible for bringing back the visa regime.",

        "raw_content": "Uncertainty around the global economic outlook has increased in the weeks since the Bank released its October Monetary Policy Report (MPR). Conditions in global financial markets have deteriorated as the sovereign debt crisis in Europe has deepened. Additional measures will be required to contain the European crisis. The recession in Europe is now expected to be more pronounced than the Bank had anticipated in October, as a result of increased deleveraging and tighter financial conditions, as well as necessary fiscal austerity and structural reforms.\nRecent economic data suggest that growth in the United States has been slightly more robust than anticipated, largely as a result of continued vigour in consumer spending and business investment. Nonetheless, household deleveraging, fiscal consolidation and negative spillover effects from the European crisis are all expected to weigh on U.S. growth. Growth in China and other emerging-market economies continues to be strong, although there are signs that it is moderating to a more sustainable pace in response to weaker external demand and the lagged effects of past policy tightening.\nOn balance, recent economic indicators in Canada suggest that growth in the second half of this year is slightly stronger than the Bank projected in October. Household expenditures have more momentum than had been expected and business investment remains solid. Going forward, the weaker external outlook is expected to dampen GDP growth in Canada through financial, confidence and trade channels. The economy also continues to face competitiveness challenges, including the persistent strength of the Canadian dollar.\nAlthough total CPI inflation has been slightly higher than projected, the Bank continues to expect the inflation rate to decline as a result of reduced pressures from food and energy prices and ongoing excess supply in the economy. Core inflation has also been slightly firmer than projected and is expected to ease as the output gap persists well into 2013.\nReflecting all of these factors, the Bank has decided to maintain the target for the overnight rate at 1 per cent. With the target interest rate near historic lows and the financial system functioning well, there is considerable monetary policy stimulus in Canada. The Bank will continue to monitor carefully economic and financial developments in the Canadian and global economies, together with the evolution of risks, and set monetary policy consistent with achieving the 2 per cent inflation target over the medium term.\nThe next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is 17 January 2012. A full update of the Bank\u2019s outlook for the economy and inflation, including risks to the projection, will be published in the MPR on 18 January 2012.",

        "title": "University top up fees \u2013 Brian Barder's website and Ephems blog",
        "raw_content": "University top up fees\nThe prime minister is evidently determined to press on with his plan for differential \u2018top-up\u2019 university fees \u2014 different fees charged by different universities and faculties, to be paid at the start of the student\u2019s university career by a loan authority to which the student will refund the amount advanced to him (or, more likely these days, her) after graduation in yearly instalments, but only when his or her earnings begin to exceed a cut-off point, currently set at \u00c2\u00a315,000 a year. Both universities and the state will give means-tested scholarships so that students from poorer homes won\u2019t have to pay the fees at all, either up front or after beginning to earn more than \u00c2\u00a315,000 a year; or else will be charged (and lent) reduced fees. The government\u2019s search for a new and additional source of funds for tertiary education is made more urgent by its declared target of having 50 per cent of all young people going on to some form of higher education, an increase on the present situation of some 7 or 8 per cent, although if there\u2019s any rational basis for setting the target at 50 per cent I have yet to hear it. Serious objections are being made to this plan, from the government\u2019s left (the LibDems and well over 100 Labour back-bench MPs) and from its right (the Tories), as well as from some, but not all, of the liberal press. It\u2019s strongly supported by a raft of university vice-chancellors and heads of colleges, desperate for more money than the government is willing to provide out of taxation, and equally strongly opposed by student union leaders.\nThe weakest argument against the scheme, it seems to me, is that allowing different universities and faculties to charge differing fees will lead to \u00c3\u00a9litism, a two-tier university structure, and the effective reservation of the top universities and most prestigious faculties to the affluent middle classes, with the children of working-class families only able to afford the cheaper also-rans. It\u2019s unfortunate that this is emerging as the main plank in the anti-government case, because it\u2019s the most easily rebutted. It\u2019s obvious that some universities and faculties incur much higher costs in delivering education than others; that some enjoy more prestige than others; and that for numerous historical and social reasons, class prejudice and discrimination tend in many cases to colour both choices and accessibility of university and faculty. It\u2019s equally obvious that some universities and faculties need more money than others to continue to function and to build on their strengths and specialisations. But there\u2019s no necessary logical progression from this to the proposition that therefore students should pay differing fees according to the costs of their courses. Students are only ever going to contribute, if anything at all, a small proportion of their total costs. The rest will always have to come from public funds, and there\u2019s no reason why those contributions from the state shouldn\u2019t continue to absorb the differentials just as they do now.\nThe real question is whether the balance of advantage lies in making students \u2014 or rather graduates earning more than the set annual income \u2014 pay an arbitrary proportion of the costs of their higher education, in order to relieve the taxpayer of the necessity of paying more tax (or the government of the obligation to find a way of transferring the costs from lower-priority spending to the higher education budget). It\u2019s argued that possession of a university degree enhances the student\u2019s later earning power by some average amount, from which he or she may reasonably be asked (asked!) to make a contribution in repayment of the expense incurred at university. But this average conceals a huge variation in the earnings of graduates, from those who become researchers, teachers, middle-ranking civil or municipal servants, to those who go into banking, insurance, business, show business and the media, some quickly earning very large salaries and other benefits. It\u2019s hard to see any justice in imposing the same rate of repayment obligation, which is in practice simply an extra tax, on the graduate who has just scraped past the \u00c2\u00a315,000 threshold (far from a passport to wealth) as that imposed on a young City gent on around a million a year. There\u2019s even less rhyme or reason, surely, in excusing from any repayment at all the young man or woman who has been given a scholarship at university because of coming from a low-income family, but who goes on after graduation to earn five or ten times the income of a former fellow-student from a marginally better-off home who has barely managed to prise his or her earnings above the threshold.\nThe fact is that those whose degrees help them to earn more than non-graduates already \u201cmake a contribution to their education\u201d by paying more income tax than those who earn less than themselves. Why single out university graduates for a special higher rate of income tax than those whose prosperity is derived from other factors, such as inherited or donated wealth, ruthlessness, chicanery, superior intelligence, hard work or plain good luck? True, it may legitimately be asked why those without a university education should \u201csubsidise\u201d through their taxes those luckier or cleverer than themselves who have had an earnings-enhancing university education funded from general taxation. But there are two answers to that: under virtually any conceivable system, there will be an element of subsidy benefiting those educated at public expense, whether or not they are made to contribute some part of the cost from their own pockets, then or later; and, even more cogently, the whole of society benefits from the existence of a university-educated element with, one hopes, trained and analytical minds and skills that raise the levels of management and administration, government, the professions, the arts and public and professional discourse, all vital for the quality of life of everyone. The argument that beneficiaries of public services such as education should pay back part of their costs when able to do so could equally be applied to the National Health Service (why should those who keep themselves fit by a daily work-out subsidise with their taxes those who smoke or eat too much?) or to secondary education (why should those who leave school at 16, or indeed earlier and illegally, subsidise those who stay on until 17 or 18 and thus improve their later relative earning capacity by getting good A levels?).\nThere are two more killer arguments against the proposals. Lower-middle-class and working-class families, and indeed many others too, are famously averse to incurring large debts. Not all of them can hope to get scholarships to reduce or eliminate the need to borrow the money for later repayment of fees. How many of them will consent to their bright offspring going to university if it means a son or daughter shouldering a massive debt running into tens of thousands of pounds, and an obligation to start paying it off the moment later earnings exceed an extremely modest \u00c2\u00a315,000 a year? If this had been a condition of university entrance, neither my father nor indeed myself would have dared to launch me on a university education. The same is true of my wife and of a raft of our university contemporaries with whom we have discussed it. This will be a huge deterrent to university education for the less well-off and even for the comfortably-off \u2014 but by no means rich \u2014 middle classes. Even more dismayingly, the whole scheme drives a huge hole through a basic tenet of socialism, indeed of any reasonably progressive principle of politics: certain essential services such as health and education, sewerage and street lighting, defence and policing, town and country planning and protection of the environment, are best financed collectively, even if some derive more benefit from them than others: and any consequent inequality is properly corrected by progressive taxation related to ability to pay, not calculated by the extent of the individual\u2019s use (or lack of use) of the services provided. It\u2019s a topsy-turvy world in which proposals for the partial commercialisation of higher education are forced through by a Labour government against the opposition of socialists, social democrats and Liberal Democrats \u2014 and Tories.\nNext story Diane Abbott\u2019s son\nPrevious story 2003 Christmas Letter",

        "raw_content": "http://www.barrons.com/articles/bullish-on-the-trump-market-1480137198\nBullish on the Trump Market\n\u201cWe wouldn\u2019t own anything in pharma, tobacco, beverages, or even biotech\u2014and those have really good-size weightings in the S&P 500.\u201c \u2014Larry Jeddeloh Thomas Strand for Barron\u2019s\nFor nearly 40 years, Larry Jeddeloh has identified risks and opportunities in the global markets, plying his trade for Leuthold Group, UBS, and now as founder and editor of The Institutional Strategist newsletter and its Minneapolis-based parent, TIS Group. A year ago, in a conversation with Barron\u2019s, he forecast the unraveling of the European Union, oil above $40, a weak euro, revived gold, and weaker stocks. He was right about most of it, though stocks revived after plunging in January. And early this year, defying the pundits, Jeddeloh, now 64, predicted that Donald J. Trump would win the presidential election. We know what happened there.\nAs Thanksgiving approached, Jeddeloh confided, \u201cI\u2019m a free-market capitalist: Around the world I see a lot of systems that have not come close to what the free market has delivered. So I am grateful for our system.\u201d For more of his views, keep reading.\nBarron's: Larry, you were one of the few people in the market who predicted a Trump victory quite early.\nJeddeloh: It all started with the Scottish [independence] referendum in 2014, where the same themes arose as did in the later Brexit vote\u2014economic security, jobs, and immigration. These were also playing out in the U.S. and weren\u2019t reflected in the polls. Polling accuracy is up for debate anyway. I live in the middle part of the country, travel all over, and, when I do, I talk to people in the hotels and restaurants and see companies\u2014people who aren\u2019t normally in our client base. If you listen only to people in your own business, it can push you in the wrong direction. What I heard between the Appalachians and Utah was entirely different from what I heard on the coasts. People were very pro-Trump. They were very concerned about the economy and about long-term opportunities for their kids. You could Google the size of the Trump rallies, and they were absolutely enormous, and on very short notice. I really believe that if you wait outside in below-zero weather to listen to a guy, you\u2019ll probably go vote. What swayed me was something that happened near the end. Minnesota is quite a liberal state. He showed up [on short notice] at the airport in Minneapolis, and about 20,000 people went to the hangar to listen to him.\nWhat should we expect now? How do we reconcile the big stock market rally with the coming fat deficits?\nThis is one of the best opportunities I\u2019ve seen for a long time. The stock market is underpriced relative to the growth rates we will see in the economy. Yes, deficits will swell, and the government will ignore them and spend their way through. The minute the new administration hits Washington, you\u2019ll see a lot of regulatory steps wiped out. That\u2019s the low-hanging fruit that will boost growth. They\u2019ll cut tax rates across the board. Economic growth will accelerate to, say, four to eight quarters of 3%-plus growth [it is 2.9% now] and perhaps a couple of spikes to 4%. It will drive bond rates higher. The 10-year yield will go to at least 2.95% and possibly up to 3.5%.\nHow about stocks?\nThe S&P 500, Russell 2000, and Value Line indexes are all in a new bull market, driven by higher economic growth and higher corporate earnings. Valuations will probably come down, because with higher rates, you\u2019ll get a lower P/E. I expect the S&P to go to 2400 next year, on $130 in earnings and a multiple of 18 times. [It finished the week at 2213.] I think it will be 3000 in three years. The Russell 2000 and Value Line will outperform the S&P.\nThe other thing that will drive stock prices is investor flows. Since the election, about $18 billion came out of global bond funds and $28 billion went into U.S. stocks, and the S&P moved up 2.3%. You have an $18 trillion Treasury market; do the math. You could have a scenario where the dollar rips to the upside. An easy way to invest is through the PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish ETF [ticker: UUP]. That will draw a lot of foreign money in.\nForeigners have been net sellers of U.S. stocks for four years; they\u2019ve owned specific stocks like Apple [AAPL] and Johnson & Johnson [JNJ]. Now they have a compelling reason to buy. The rising dollar will make life difficult for exporters, but it\u2019s sector specific\u2014the weight of money coming in will overwhelm any negative aspects for a while.\nWill it go into index funds?\nNo. It will go into actively managed funds. The move into passive is occurring at exactly the wrong time: There is too much performance dispersion among the sectors versus the index. We\u2019re very high on sectors that have the highest correlation to growth. For example, brokers, insurers, banks, and consumer-finance businesses benefit from a steepening of the yield curve. We wouldn\u2019t own anything in pharma, tobacco, beverages, or even biotech, and those have really good-size weightings in the S&P 500. So, there is a benefit here to having a good actively managed fund, despite paying a bit more.\nThe other thing that\u2019s overdone is the move out of hedge funds by pensions. Now is the time to buy actively managed funds, and to buy hedge funds, specifically macro.\nWhat steps to deregulate do you foresee?\nThe Keystone and Dakota Access pipelines, which have been held up, will be early beneficiaries. You will see a lot more crude coming from Canada through the pipelines. That will help Enbridge [ENB] and Energy Transfer Partners [ETP]. It will bring oil prices down. Recently, Saudi Arabia said it was concerned about [the U.S. blocking] imported oil. Who is talking about that? Their real concern is opening up the pipes and bringing in more supply from Canada.\nI expect a reversal of the Dodd-Frank Act and of the Volcker rule [that restricts U.S. banks from speculating]. Proprietary trading will come back. Prop traders had lots of leverage and access to bank balance sheets, and were often involved in commodities. When you get big downdrafts as we\u2019ve had in oil, I would be a big buyer, because there will be a returning class of buyers, which is the banks.\nTypically, when the White House changes parties, it\u2019s a bad time for stocks, you\u2019ve said. Why isn\u2019t it true this time?\nOne, this [incoming administration] is pro-growth. Two, the Federal Reserve is now free to raise rates. Assets have been difficult to price because of quantitative easing around the world. If the Fed lets rates reach a natural level, investors will feel more confident. In Europe, you have badly mispriced markets in bonds. A hundred years from now, people will look back and think, Why were these pension-plan people buying negative yield bonds?\nYou also said the next president would face a recession and a bear market in the next three years, and a war. Still true?\nWe no longer think the war in Syria will spill over. It will be done by January. The U.S. relationship with Russia will change dramatically. The Russians and Americans have an interest in ending the war in Syria before Trump takes office. Any oil price premium due to geopolitical problems in the Middle East will go away. Nevertheless, I see $70 oil in the second quarter, coming from an OPEC deal and higher global growth. Many presidents prefer to take the recession the first year and blame it on the predecessor. This time they\u2019ll spend their way through and take the pain later. I think the recession and accompanying financial event is pushed out to 2019 or 2020.\nWhat else do you expect geopolitically?\nOur group disagrees internally. Some of us think there will be a lot more cooperation between the U.S. and China and Russia, and less emphasis on Europe. The 45% tariffs that Trump talked about in the campaign is just negotiating. When I was in Asia in July, I was surprised by how many Chinese I spoke with had a great affinity for him. They said they were capitalists. They didn\u2019t share the Japanese concerns about a trade war. At some point, the U.S. and Japan might join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which would reverse the Obama administration\u2019s policy of isolating China through the Trans-Pacific Partnership.\nOthers think we should do individual trade agreements around the world, focusing on U.S. interests. The U.S. will withdraw from the global policeman role. There are 174 military sites in Germany. What for? Geopolitically, this means a real turn inward.\nWhat does that mean for defense?\nActually, there will be more defense spending in the first four years of the Trump administration, with a big replacement cycle starting in the Navy and Air Force programs. The land wars of the past 15 years funded land-transport vehicles and the Army. We will now acquire submarines, destroyers, new fighters, bombers, etc. It doesn\u2019t mean we will fight more wars; we may fight fewer and trade more.\nWe like a broad ETF of big-cap stocks, the iShares US Aerospace & Defense [ITA]. We particularly like General Dynamics [GD]: Trump is talking about a 350-ship Navy. Right now, we have 279. So General Dynamics\u2019 backlog is going to build.

Make cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, and Cleveland tax-free zones and free ports, and rebuild those communities.

It\u2019s the same argument: The bureaucrats against the broader population. The bureaucrats will lose big. When that happens, I am betting the prime minister will have to resign. Then there will be a referendum on whether Italy wants to stay in the European Union, probably next year. This will push the EU to attempt to reform itself before things get out of hand. For example, it could offer affiliate memberships to countries like the U.K. or Italy with a la carte privileges. As an interim step, if the City of London wants passport privileges, it can write the EU a check for it. If Italy wants to sell products to the EU tariff-free, write a check. And there will be a race between how fast the EU can put those proposals forward and the long end of the bond market. One of the most mispriced assets on the planet is the 10-year Italian bond, whose yield is too low. It should be higher.\nWhat asset classes do you like?\nThe dollar, and U.S. stocks of all sizes.

        "raw_content": "An Examination Of A Defence\nMany cases require alternate defences for those who suffer from mental disorders, this defence is known as Not Criminally Responsible on Account of Mental Disorder also known as NCRMD. A defence such as this is used to explain that the perpetrator had a disorder that made them unaware of the crime they had committed and that the crime was wrong. Applying NCRMD as a defence can be difficult as there are many requirements a person needs to meet before they are deemed not responsible. In some cases, it is hard to prove that the offender had a mental disorder at the time of the crime and that it is a valid defence as to why they committed the crime unknowingly. There is a lot of discussion around NCRMD being successful or unsuccessful and what should happen to the offender if they are deemed NCRMD. A recent case where NCRMD was used as a defence and was successful, was in the case of David Siu. NCRMD is a successful and valid defence if it is used in the right case to protect those in the system with mental disoders.\nThis defence was originally known as the insanity defence, it was changed to NCRMD in the Criminal Code in 1992 (Wilson, Crocker, Nicholls, Charette, & Seto, 2015).

He lives a quiet life of regularity in London. Being independently wealthy, he spends most of his day in the Reform Club reading, taking his meals, and playing whist. Having lived a life of travel and adventure some years earlier, he is a man of honor and integrity. Mr. Fogg is also considered an eccentric and enigmatic person with a calm, unruffled demeanor. His rationality, generosity, and self-control impressed some characters throughout the book.\nAntagonist: The main antagonist is Detective Fix from Scotland Yard who suspects Mr. Fogg of stealing \u00a350,000 from a bank. Although there is an antagonist is the story, this is a type of book where many antagonistic situations and persons occur throughout the book. The other antagonists are fate, nature, and human frailty.\nConflict: The main conflict is that Mr. Fogg has to make it around the world in time to win the bet Mr. Fogg made with the Reform Club members. Mr. Fogg and his servant, Jean Passepartout must repeatedly reason their way out of the various obstacles in their way. Another conflict also emerges when Mr. Fogg is accused of robbing from the Bank of England and Detective Fix pursues him across the world to arrest him.

        "raw_content": "When the rise of cable television began there were many local broadcasters who were worried about what sort of financial state they would be left in once audiences decided to switch over to much larger networks. Time went on and many attempts at regulating cable companies became bigger and bigger issues. The larger networks could reach across the nation, and by doing so would have effectively rendered the local network useless. The people were growing weary of the services provided by the cable companies, as well as the price at which they had been charging for those services. Realizing that this could become a greater issue Congress endeavored to settle this debacle by making the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. This law would require cable providers to set aside channels so that local or public broadcasters could take place in the vacant airwaves, which would effectively keep them all from going out of business under the pressure of larger cable networks. The Federal Communications Commission would be responsible for any sort of actions to be taken to ensure that the Act was properly set into place. For those who worked under local and public broadcasting this was the greatest kind of victory, but not everyone was happy about the decision to enact this law. The Act caused many dissenting opinions within the cable industry as they appealed to the courts with the intention of proving that a must-carry policy is unconstitutional.

Children have watched their parents get in trouble with the law and watch them be handcuffed and taken away for arrest. Children struggle physically, mentally and emotionally when a parent is displaced away from the home. Children have many emotions when they see their parent going away with a police officer. Children are taught today, the police officers are there to help you but also deal with people that get in trouble and when you parent is taken away from you, you are aware that something bad has happened. As learned throughout research many things become an issue in the behavior of a child.\nMany children suffer from a loss of a parent as early as ten years old due to incarceration. Some children aren\u2019t aware of who their mother is because there mother got taken away right after child birth. There are approximately 10 million children in the U.S that have had one or both parents incarcerated (Reed 152). After the arrest of a parent, a child is given to a grandparent or an aunt/uncle. If a family member is not involved in the relationship of the child, the child is given to a care taker that an agency finds for the child to go to. After the rest of a parent, police officers do not take the initiated in helping the child cope because they are not trained to counsel these children.

Even without the addition of the cloud computing environment, the EMR system is vulnerable to the compromise of login information, unauthorized viewing or editing of medical records, and denial of service attacks. First of all, the data contained within the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) itself is sensitive. Inside the structure of an EMR, one is potentially looking to find patient data that pertains to identity, billing information, dentistry, cardiology, dermatology, mental health, and physical attributes among other forms of data.

A patient\u2019s insurance company or potential employer may want to wrongfully use the information contained in a medical record to make unethical decisions or to discriminate. A health care provider is of no value to a patient if there is no dependable medical record system in place. Without an operational system, a provider cannot review medical history which poses a potential threat to a patient\u2019s health. Because patient care is such a critical process, records need to be accurate and available when needed. Identity and billing information are stored in these systems also; careful measures must be taken to ensure that information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, home addresses, and telephone numbers are not compromised. In order for an EMR systems access control to be effective, its primary focus should be to protect patient data from compromise (Helms & Williams, 2011, p. 63).

It is expressed on NK cells and a subset of T lymphocytes whereas it is not expressed on B lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes. The NKp80 antigen is a 231 amino acid protein which belongs to the C-lectin family and is encoded by a gene located on chromosome 12. It is characterized, in its 169 amino acid extracellular domain by 4 glycosylation sites and by two tyrosine residues in its 39 amino acid cytoplasmic domain. The transmembrane domain contains 23 amino acids. The NKp80 molecule binds to the genetically linked receptor AICL which is up-regulated by Toll-like receptor stimulation. NKp80-AICL interaction regulates the immune responses at sites of inflammation by stimulating the release of proinflammatory cytokines.\nSpecificity NKp80\nOther Names KLRF1, NKp80\nClone MA152\nClone Description The monoclonal antibody MA152 recognizes NK cells, a subset of T lymphocytes.

After learning to play the cello and the piano I took the study of orchestral music at Freiburg Musikhochschule. After that I studied voice with Prof. Ingeborg M\u00f6ller in Freiburg all the same, and received my diploma with excellent marks.\nAs a lyric soprano I have been performing on the operatic and concert stage for a number of years.\nI am a very versatile singer and interested in many different styles of music. I have been a soloist with prestigious orchestras such as the WDR Symphony Orchestra, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and Concerto K\u00f6ln. With the latter I have recorded Mendelssohn's 42nd Psalm \u201eWie der Hirsch schreit nach frischem Wasser\u201c.\nAs a soloist with the WDR Rundfunkchor (West German Radio Choir) I sang and recorded a broad variety ranging from gregorian chant (Christmas Matins, available on NEOS) to new music (Works by Y. Pagh-Paan, available on NEOS).\nMy repertoire as an oratorio singer ranges from early baroque to the 21st century, with my favourite composers beeing Bach, Mozart and Mendelssohn, whose chef d'oeuvres I have all been allowed to put to stage.\nIn the last few years I have started to go on excursions into the larger scale, singing also the Requiems by Verdi and Britten and Dvorak's \u201eStabat Mater\u201c, but without losing the noblesse and clarity of the voice.\nI am an enthusiastic chamber musician, which derives from my youth as a cellist. More and more I focus on Old Music, be it as part of an Accapella group, with the ensembles \u201eEcho di Rheno\u201c and Chapelle Rhenane Strasbourg, or as a co-founder of my own ensembles Plan BAroque and CANTICORUM.\nFrom 2003 on I have been a steady member of the WDR Radio Chorus Cologne (WDR Rundfunkchor K\u00f6ln).\nWhen I am not making music, I devote myself to my other two passions: film-making, and my family, consisting of my partner Alexander Schmidt (www.alexander-schmidt-bariton.de), and my daughter and son.",

        "raw_content": "Home\u203aBusiness Management\u203aNot Every Real Estate Investor Needs a Concrete Business Plan: Here\u2019s Why\nNot Every Real Estate Investor Needs a Concrete Business Plan: Here\u2019s Why\nBy Ali Boone updated May 1, 2015 Business Management\nAs a real estate investor, do you need to have a business plan? No. Wait, let me reel back. You may need a defined plan at some point, but hear me out before deciding on when you need said plan.\nIf you\u2019re anything like I was when I was starting out, trying to figure out how in the world I was going to pull myself out of my corporate job, business plans seemed essential to my pursuits! Of all the grandiose ideas I kept coming up with, whether it be for a new business or an investment, a business plan was the first thing to follow once I had a new idea.\nNow, ask me \u2014 of all of those grandiose ideas that I made business plans for, how many of those ideas ever came to fruition? Zero. But,now I own my own business, and I own a successful portfolio of rental properties. Have I ever had a business plan for any of those? Nope.\nSo I think it\u2019s time to break down the when and the what of a business plan: when you should have it and what it should be.\nWhen Should You Have a Business Plan?\nBefore I go too far here, let\u2019s clarify some terms. When I say \u201cbusiness plan,\u201d I am referring to what we all learned in school \u2014 you know, the one that contains an executive summary, a company description, a market analysis, the organization and management, blah blah blah, all the way down to financial projections over some multiple-year timeframe.\nRelated: No Time to Write a Real Estate Business Plan? Here\u2019s Your 30-Minute Solution.\nDon\u2019t get me wrong, these plans are great, but the short answer to when you will need that is \u2014 IF (and that is a big IF) you need one, you won\u2019t need it until quite a ways down the road, essentially once you already have something in work and functioning (and more specifically if you have some kind of business going, rather than just straight investments). I\u2019ll expand on that later. But the short answer is I really don\u2019t think you need this kind of plan until you are much further along, if even then. Unless you are running a business, you are hoping to sell or you are trying to pitch investors, then someone may want to see this. But for general investing and just starting out, forget about this kind of detail.\nHere is a new term I\u2019d like to introduce: \u201cStrategic Plan.\u201d Obviously I didn\u2019t make this term up myself; it already exists, but I rarely hear anyone use this term when talking about investing. The definition of a strategic plan says it is a document detailing out plans that you use to communicate to your organization. Consider yourself, your investing goals, and your organization. This kind of plan is an opportunity to pencil out your general plan and goals, and as an investor, this is all you need to do initially. Am I making this kind of planning sound pretty nonchalant? Well, that\u2019s how I mean it. The reason I say it so nonchalantly is because I don\u2019t think a fancy plan should be your primary focus when you are just starting out.\nIn terms of timing, here is what I think you should do if you are just getting your feet wet in investing:\nDecide your ultimate goal for investing (is it to earn capital, is it to have passive income, etc.) and use that, combined with your interests, to decide which method of investing to try out (flipping, wholesaling, rental properties, notes, etc.).\nTry said method of investing out. Feel it out, do a little trial and error in it, explore ways of doing it, and see how well it is resonating with you. If the method is in fact resonating and it seems to be panning out (even a little), go to Step 3. If the method does not seem to be working out or you aren\u2019t enjoying it, revisit Step 1 and then try Step 2 again. Rinse and repeat until you find what seems to work for you, then move on to Step 3.\nBased on your now-experience and better feel for realistic processes and returns from said method, now come up with a strategic plan. Start with how much you want to earn, and determine what it will take to earn that. So essentially start out with your end goal (a more specific end goal than your general goals for investing that you came up with in Step 1) and work backwards to determine what will get you there. This \u2014 knowing your goal and how you plan to get there \u2014 is your strategic plan, and quite frankly, all you need to succeed.\nThis leads me to the next section \u2014 what needs to be in your business plan. Or as we\u2019ve now determined, your strategic plan. But before I jump to that, to conclude this section of when you need a plan, the summary of my point is: Yes, have a plan at some point, but don\u2019t stress over it initially and honestly don\u2019t worry about it at all right away. First things first \u2014 find what works for you. You can plan all day long to be an amazing property flipper, but if flipping isn\u2019t in your blood, flipping just isn\u2019t going to be your thing! I say all the time that I wish flipping was in my blood because I think it\u2019s a great opportunity and could be a ton of fun. But the reality is, I\u2019m just not a flipper. I wish I were, and certainly if I put my mind to it I could learn it, but it would be going against my natural grain so I\u2019d rather save it for later when I\u2019m in a position to just do it on the side for fun.\nRental properties, on the other hand, follow right along my natural grain, and therefore it is much easier to be successful with them. How did I find that out though? Trial and error. Good thing I didn\u2019t spend too much time making an extensive flipping plan! You have to experience some trial and error to find what you are meant to be doing, and what you like doing. Don\u2019t waste time making an extensive plan in the beginning until you know what this is, other than just knowing your ultimate goal, so you can at least have a starting point.\nWhat Should the Strategic Plan Include?\nUltimately your strategic plan should include how you are going to get to your goal. This can be as detailed or as general as you want it, really just dependent on where you are in the process. Let\u2019s say you want to accomplish receiving $5,000 in passive income per month \u2014 all you need to know right away is how many rental properties you have to own in order to get that much in cash flow. You can worry about how you are going to fund them all later; for now just worry about figuring out the magic number. Once you know that, you don\u2019t necessarily have to know exactly how you are going to get them all, just start buying!\nNow, there are some exceptions to not needing all of those details. With rental properties, for example, there are limits on how many mortgages you can get. So some of your planning may need to take into considering that limitation and how you are going to maximize what you can within that limit and what you are going to do after you reach that limit. But really, I\u2019d say initially just have a basic plan on how you want to maximize within that limit.\nHere is a short, generic list of things that may useful in a strategic plan (in order of what to start with and working backwards into more detail):\nFinancial goal (eg. $5,000/month passive income or $75k in income from flipping over two years)\nHow many properties, and at what returns, will it take to accomplish said goal?\nIn what timeframe should each property be acquired, if there is a time goal associated?\nWhat are the options for financing the properties?\nWhat is the next move?\nAs mentioned, don\u2019t worry about any of these before you do a little diving in, trial and error, and really feeling out what seems like it is or is going to work for you. Then just worry about the first two things \u2014 your financial goal and what it will take to get there \u2014 more than anything. The next three steps are optional for your plan and they really just depend on your situation as far as how helpful they will be for you.\nOnce you start out with your goal and how to get there, as you keep moving further and further along in the process, revisit your goals and do any refining that may be useful for you. Maybe this is a refinement of how many properties you see feasible to obtain, or maybe it\u2019s a processes refinement.\nFor Real? Why Such a Lack of Planning?\nAre you exhausted by me stabbing you over and over again with this idea that a plan doesn\u2019t matter? I don\u2019t want you to think that is what I\u2019m conveying at all. I know it sounds like it, but the reason I\u2019m being overly pushy about the lack of importance of a plan is because I want you to realize two major things that I don\u2019t think a lot of soon-to-be investors realize:\nYou just don\u2019t know what is going to resonate with you. Therefore, you are just wasting time making a detailed plan for something that might not even stick. Finding what goes along your natural grain is imperative for success, and this can really only be found with some trial and error.\nPlans change. One of the biggest keys to success is flexibility. What is a great plan today may not be a great plan tomorrow. Now, a caveat to this is that you can take this too far. If you are constantly moving your target, you will never hit any target. So it\u2019s not your goal you want to constantly change (although sometimes there is some room for altering that), it\u2019s your method as to how to get there. If you build organically day-to-day, you will figure out what really works. For some reason people think they can determine the exact path that will get them to their goals, but it\u2019s rarely the case that that path is what works.\nRelated: Eye on the Prize: Why an Established End Goal is VITAL to Your Investing Plan\nAre you hurting yourself by making a detailed plan? No. Is it good practice? Yes. Will anyone rag on you for making a detailed plan? No. Just realize you don\u2019t necessarily need one to succeed in real estate investing. Like I said in the beginning of the article, I can\u2019t even tell you how many \u201cplans\u201d I detailed out that were certain to get me to my success but then what I actually did succeed in, I didn\u2019t even so much as have a note on a napkin for!\nYes, some people require more planning than others, and that is completely okay. Do whatever is most comfortable for you, and my point is not to criticize anyone who writes out a full business plan. I just want to offer you a different perspective on how to make something work. (Which I guess would be quit planning and just do it! Then do a little planning later\u2026)\nFor all you experienced investors out there \u2014 How did you get to where you are? Did you make a business plan, did you have more of a strategy plan, or did you succeed with no planning at all?\nihe o. on May 3, 2015 5:05 am\nBut every real estate investor needs concrete.\nIt\u2019s a well written article but it is stating the obvious.\nAli Boone on May 5, 2015 6:07 pm\nHaha, Ihe, I like the concrete part. And yes, I focus a lot of my articles on stating the obvious because unfortunately the obvious isn\u2019t always so obvious to everyone.\nDaniel Ryu on May 3, 2015 8:22 am\nGreat post Ali\nYou really laid things out in this one.\nI\u2019m getting much better at learning and adjusting as I go.\nI read a study on entrepreneurship and the model it suggested was similar to your ideas \u2013 no need to over plan.\nInstead it suggested that one look to find stakeholders early in the process to give you feedback and help you adjust your goals.\nSo you could, for example, start with an idea like flipping, and instead of planning out the next five years, come up with some basic numbers and then start pitching your idea for feedback (friends and family for example). Maybe you generate a potential investor (stakeholder) who now can help shape your future (ie. Likes the idea but wants a bigger piece of the equity split)\nAnyways, entrepreneurs can be compulsive perfectionist so there are lots of good ideas to chew on.\nAll agreed Daniel! Great input, and I totally agree about not overplanning. I really like your suggestion about deciding on flipping and then how to start out basic with it. Thanks for sharing!\nJoe Cummings on May 4, 2015 5:51 am\nBusiness plans are total BS. If someone asks you for one, then you are playing \u201cMother may I?\u201d with some middle management clown. You need to run over them and get to the real decision maker.\nHa! I love it, Joe. And I kind of agree with you\u2026\nRhonda Chamlee on May 4, 2015 7:03 am\nThank You Ali, as a newbie, that business plan is a added stress maker, for me anyway\u2026 Overloading the brain with info from BP is enough already for newbies..\nYou already pegged me, my strategic plan is passive income $4500.00 a month, I\u2019m not looking to get rich like most investors\u2026 Just want to be able to work for myself, so I can spend most of my free time on the Harley\u2026 For me THATS A PLAN!!!!\nI love that Rhonda! I even have a dog named Harley \ud83d\ude42 And I\u2019ve always said I want to be a Harley-girl when I grow up. That\u2019s great, and I think your goal is perfect!\nMaria Durflinger on May 4, 2015 9:07 pm\nI appreciate this artical. I am definetly figuring things out as I go, I don\u2019t want to fret over things I\u2019m not at yet. If that makes any sense. One thing at a time. Large picture in mind, not all the details till I come to them.\nPerfectly stated Maria! It took me a long time to learn that for myself, but turns out it\u2019s totally true.\nJeff Norton on May 5, 2015 5:59 pm\nThank You Ali for the great advice!\nYou mentioned in the post that before you commit to any particular area in real estate investing that one should \u201cFeel it out, do a little trial and error\u201d . Being very new at this, I am not sure how to go about doing a trial and error with real estate. Thanks again for your insight\nHey Jeff, good question. I\u2019d say in short it\u2019s first decide on a method of investing you want to try, and then start to try it. See how it feels, how it\u2019s working out, and go from there.\nMichael David on May 6, 2015 12:55 pm\nI\u2019m the type of personality that is haunted by expressions like, \u201cFailure to Plan is Planning to Fail\u201d\u2026So that means that I over analyze and fret over things before making a decision\u2026What I\u2019ve learned and what works for me is that at some point you have to decide to move forward and keep moving forward not letting setbacks stop you\u2026(e.g., It took me a year of failure to finally land that first deal). Thanks Ali\u2026I enjoyed the article and agree that flexibility is important.\nGreat input Michael\u2026 a lot because it brings up some good points. It most often takes failures to succeed, and if you never make the move to try something, you\u2019ll never succeed, which in of itself is a failure\u2026technically? It\u2019s a tricky balance to figure out between getting out there and trying something and making sure you do have enough education to do it smartly.\nJeff Rabinowitz on May 8, 2015 9:47 am\nI began investing in real estate to provide an escape from a traditional job, for freedom. For me, success was when I could go a month without setting an alarm clock, then a couple months. Now, I almost have to read the instructions when I try to set the clock. I have never had a plan and have no desire to impose one on myself. In fact, I would probably have missed my most profitable investments if I had a plan that I stuck to. At the time the investments presented themselves I had no experience in that type of investing and had never considered it so I could not possibly have included it in any plan made beforehand. I have no idea what I will be doing next year. That suits me just fine.\nAli Boone on October 8, 2015 12:23 am\nI love this Jeff! Definitely along my lines of \u201csuccess\u201d \ud83d\ude42 Alarm clock, huh? What\u2019s that?\nLuis Melendez on May 11, 2015 7:55 am\nHey Ali my name is Luis. I love your articles and I\u2019m implementing similar strategies for my real estate investments. But I have a quick question for you. Do you mortgage your rental properties at a 30 year or 15 year fixed/arm and why? I just want to verify my belief is correct from a pro like yourself. Thanks for the articles!!\nHey Luis! I have always done 30 year, but it depends on what is more important to you\u2013paying less in interest or higher cash flow each month? (30 year gives the higher cash flow)\nAdam Bockler on January 6, 2016 3:00 pm\nYou make a great point about how flexibility can be an essential aspect of a successful business, Ali. My brother-in-law does real estate investing. He transitioned from flipping houses to investing in land because of the current market conditions. Part of it was that it was easier to find investors for long term land holding than scrambling to buy, fix-up, and sell a house as quickly as possible. Having a good investor business plan has helped him to get into markets he never considered when he first started.\nAli Boone on January 6, 2016 7:32 pm\nThat\u2019s awesome Adam! Good for him. Sounds like he made a really cool transition, and sounds like he is doing well. Yay!\nKenny Jones on September 18, 2016 1:33 pm\nGreat post Ali! Exactly the info I needed as I sit down with some coffee and try to finally pinpoint my real estate goals. I tend to get paralysis at all stages and this info will help me with a brief outline that I can fill in the holes later.\nAli Boone on September 19, 2016 10:31 pm\nAwesome, glad it is helping Kenny! Reach out anytime if you ever need more help.",

In 2011, BIGHORN Properties put together 40 sales involving BIGHORN's new custom and resale homes as well as unique homesites. As BIGHORN's Chairman of the Board, R. D. Hubbard, concluded, \"Our thriving property sales confirm our success as a progressive world-class golf community, worthy of a sound investment. BIGHORN continues to grow in stature and value.\"\nIn addition to the sales activity, currently, 16 homes are under construction with 4 more in the final review stages. Carl Cardinalli, BIGHORN Properties' Director of Sales states, \"The average home under construction is 8,000sf with a $7.1 million per home investment; that's $113 million of direct capital investment and, using a US Bureau of Economic Analysis multiplier for construction activity, an additional $175 million of indirect economic benefit to the local and regional economy.\"\nSo what sets BIGHORN apart? Cardinalli says, \"R.D. Hubbard has created an exceptional community focused on lifestyle with world-renown amenities, prompting investment and support by owners and members and all of the development was accomplished without special assessments to the Members.\"\nIn contrast to many golf communities BIGHORN has added 56 new Members in the last two years with with new members having an average age of 54 years. With such a young average, the Club is always bustling with activities directed to all members of the family. It's not just about golf anymore.\nIn 2005, BIGHORN transformed a Mountains course \"Turn\" restaurant into The Marketplace with the country's first community wi-fi coffee bar serving Starbucks, showcasing fresh salads, sandwiches, groceries, wines, sundries, fresh cut flowers, dry cleaning and so much more. Then, BIGHORN Developers invested $10 million in building an 8,000sf Canyons Steak House; its 7th restaurant on campus, with unparalleled views of the valley.\nThe following year, the Management team redesigned the Clubhouse Pool to accommodate an expanding Membership population, creating an event area to accommodate up to 450 people. This opened a wide variety of entertaining options for Member's family, friends and business associates, thus expanding an already active lifestyle and hosting over 100 exciting events.\nThis summary can't do justice to the other amenities, all with their own story and member allegiance, including The Pour House restaurant (opened 2005), Golf Learning Center (opened 2010), Dog Park (opened 2004), Bocce Ball Courts (opened in 2011) let alone the multiple, diverse activities and services. All of these amenities have been paid by the Developer so Members have NEVER BEEN ASSESSED for any improvements. \"We have always maintained the mindset that if you build it, they will come,\" shares BIGHORN Chairman R.D. Hubbard. This year, a Kiddin' Around Play Park was added for all the families and grandchildren we've attracted.",

KG announced that it will open later this year a production facility in Asia. Humpert\u2019s Managing Director Willi Humpert said that with more and more bicycles being produced in Asia, Humpert as a component maker has to follow.\nAs it looks now, the production shift to Asia will take place in 2005. Humpert\u2019s plan is to open a wholly owned production facility. At this moment it is not yet decided where this facility will be located. \u201cIt will be China or Vietnam. Of course we will focus on selling the handlebar production to Asian OEM\u2019s, to the US market and also export them to Europe.\u201d About reasons for the opening of a production facility in Asia, Willi Humpert explained: \u201cWe want to become more independent from suppliers and it also has to do with the increased prices in Europe for raw material. Nickel and steel are cheaper in Asia due to state subsidies.\u201d\nComponent maker Humpert already has offices in Asia. Beginning 2002 Humpert Asia International Co. Ltd. was founded which is located in Taipei, Taiwan. In 2003 this was followed with a subsidiary of Humpert Asia located in Shenzhen, China. Currently a total of 8 people are working at the Asian offices which are all involved in sourcing, quality control and sales.\nHumpert\u2019s Managing Director made it clear that the switch to Asia will not mean a closure of the facility in Wickede, Germany. In fact Humpert is expanding in Germany. The component maker has taken over a company located some 15 kilometers from Wickede to increase its activities in chroming. (JO)",

But isn't thinking bad thoughts just as wrong as actually saying them?\nYes, it is wrong \u2013 and one reason is because it means we\u2019re guilty of hypocrisy. Some of Jesus\u2019 strongest words were directed at people who pretended to be good outwardly, but inwardly were still selfish and sinful. He compared them to dishes that were clean and beautiful on the outside, \u201cbut inside\u2026 are full of greed and self-indulgence\u201d (Matthew 23:25).\nThis doesn\u2019t mean, of course, that we should go ahead and do anything we feel like doing, even if it\u2019s wrong. If we acted that way, we\u2019d only end up hurting both ourselves and other people. Instead, it means we should strive to get rid of our wrong motives and wrong thoughts, and replace them with good motives and good thoughts. The Bible says, \u201cRid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind\u201d (1 Peter 2:1).\nBut is this possible? Yes \u2013 with God\u2019s help. When we open our lives to Christ, He comes to live within us by His Spirit, and He begins to change us from within. The Bible says, \u201cDo not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind\u201d (Romans 12:2).",

        "title": "Frequently Asked Questions | Save The Rhino",
        "raw_content": "Rhino Poaching FAQs\nQ: Why are rhinos being poached?\nA: Rhino horn is highly prized in traditional Asian medicine. It is ground into a fine powder or manufactured into tablets to treat a number of illnesses such as nosebleeds, strokes, convulsions, and fevers. Crime syndicates all over Asia poach the rhinos and can sell the horn on the black market for up to $60,000 a kilo, making it extremely profitable. An average rhino horn weighs 10- 14lbs/4.5 - 6.3 kilos, giving it roughly a $340,000 street value.\nQ: Where is the supply of Rhino horn coming from?\nA: Most of the horns are coming out of Southern Africa, which has the densest population of rhino. In 2012, South Africa alone lost 668 rhinos due to poaching. That\u2019s almost 30 times more than rhinos poached in the 1990\u2019s. Zimbabwe has also been badly affected, and rhino populations in other countries such as Kenya, Nepal, and India, are also being targeted.\nQ: How many Rhino species is their today?\nA: There are five different species of rhino, each living in different areas. 1. The White Rhino - Found in five African countries: South Africa, Namibia, Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Kenya. 2. The Black Rhino - Found in Southern and Western Africa. 3. The Indian Rhino - Found in small populations due to declining numbers, in North-East India and Nepal. 4. The Javan Rhino - This is the rarest of mammals, not just in the rhino family, but across the animal kingdom. They could once be found across Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and into Thailand. Now they are found in only two small areas. Cat Tien national park in Vietnam holds fourteen, and only 30 more live in the Ujung Kulon national park found on the western tip of the island Java. 5. The Sumatran Rhino - This Rhino is also endangered and once roamed large areas of Malaysia. Now they are confined to small areas in Burma, Bangladesh, and eastern India.\nQ: Who is poaching the rhinos?\nA: There are two different types of poachers; subsistence poachers and professional poachers. Subsistence poachers are usually from poor communities driven by hunger and poverty. Usually on foot, they will shoot rhinos on site and remove the horns very crudely. Professional poachers are highly organized and very well funded (Asian syndicates) using well structured operations and high technology methods such as: tranquilizers, veterinary drugs, helicopters, night vision scopes, and high caliber weapons.\nQ: Who is the bigger problem? Subsistence poachers or professionals?\nA: Professional poachers. The reason is they are driven by a desire for financial gain and sheer greed. Rhino horn on the black market today is worth $50,000 - $65,000 per kilo. In return, making it the most valued item on the black market (worth more than cocaine and heroin).\nQ: What species of rhino are being poached most?\nA: Black Rhinos. The reason is that both horns on a Black Rhino are roughly the same size. Where as a White Rhino has the large front horn, and second horn a quarter of the size, making the black rhino more profitable per kill. Secondly, Black Rhinos are more solitary than White Rhinos; this means it is more simple to isolate a Black Rhino to poach.\nQ: What are Rhino horns made of?\nA: Rhino horn is made of keratin, the same material making human fingernails. Keratin is a family of fibrous structural proteins that clump together on the dermas (outside skin layer) on the rhino\u2019s snout, forming a horn.\nQ: How long does it take for a rhino horn to grow back?\nA: If a Rhino is dehorned without cutting into the skull, it can grow back to almost full size after three years. However, if the rhinos skull is cut into while being dehorned, it could complicate or completely compromise the re-growth of the horn.\nQ: Would legalizing the sale of rhino horn satisfy the demand and yet reduce poaching?\nA: It is not believed so. The problem starts with the value of a rhino horn on today\u2019s black market. It would take a large amount of horns to flood the market and sufficiently drop the prices enough to put poachers off. Legalizing the trade could also provide an opportunity for the laundering of illegally acquired horn, and stockpiles held in private hands. The legal \u201cone-off sales\u201d of ivory that have been allowed from time to time, have never been shown to reduce poaching pressure on elephants. It is believed to of had quite the opposite effect.\nQ: Why not dehorn rhinos?\nA: The reason you might want to dehorn a rhino is to protect them from the threat of poachers, on the assumption that a rhino with no horn is no longer a target. With rhino horn reaching such high prices, it is still worth poachers targeting dehorned rhinos with a little bit of horn left. Dehorning would need to be done at least once a year to prove effective, and with wild rhinos it would be difficult, expensive, and dangerous to both rhinos and operators. Rhinos also have their horns for a reason, to protect their young and defense. If we removed the horns, the rhinos may not be as well equipped to survive.\nQ: Where can I go to help join the fight against Rhino poaching?\nA: http://bisbeesconservationfund.com/donate.com",

        "raw_content": "How Prevalent is the Abuse of Adults with Dementia?\nAs generations of Americans age and increasingly live longer, fuller lives, we have a population of adults who may be in relatively good health, but who suffer from dementia, which can range from relatively mild to severe and constant in nature. When this situation occurs, families often have to relegate some caregiving duties to nursing homes or other outside healthcare agencies. Difficulties can arise, however, when a caregiver abuses a patient, and he or she is unable to get help or report the abuse due to struggles with dementia.\nAccording to the National Center on Elder Abuse, Administration on Aging, elderly individuals who suffer from dementia are more likely to experience abuse than those individuals who do not have dementia. This is no small problem. Statistics show that about 5.1 million Americans suffer from dementia, and up to 65% of all individuals ages 85 and older suffer from some sort of dementia, keeping in mind that this age group is the fastest growing group in our population. Furthermore, given the inability in many cases of these individuals to report abuse, it is likely that researchers have vastly underestimated the numbers of dementia patients who have sustained abuse. The different studies on this issue show an abuse and neglect rate for patients with dementia ranging anywhere from 27.5% to 55% of this population.\nAlmost half of dementia patients who experienced abuse or neglect did so at the hands of their own caregivers. Over 88.5% of these individuals suffered psychological abuse, almost 20% experienced physical abuse, and almost 30% experienced neglect. Additionally, about half of caregivers surveyed admitted to being abusive to a dementia patient at some point during their caregiving duties.",

The City of Boroondara has developed a solution which will ensure the residents of Boroondara and Manningham can continue to enjoy the opportunity to play tennis and golf at these facilities.\nCouncil formally resolved to provide two concept plans to the North East Link Authority (NELA) for consideration in the Bulleen Park land use planning study. Both concept plans include a good quality, playable 18-hole golf course and 23 court tennis centre. The key difference between the two plans is the inclusion of an AFL size sporting oval located to the north of the proposed Boroondara Tennis Centre site in one option and the inclusion of an urban forest in the other. The urban forest would protect and improve the biodiversity values in the area and along the important Koonung Creek and Yarra River corridors.\nEager to work collaboratively with Manningham Council and NELA to explore opportunities for additional public open space within Manningham as part of the project, Mayor of Boroondara Cr Jane Addis said \u201cWe would like to ensure the residents of Boroondara and Manningham have access to these publicly accessible sporting facilities. Residents of both cities are significant users of the existing facilities. The concept plans retain both facilities and one option adds an AFL size oval. We should strive to achieve these opportunities for our communities.\u201d\nBoroondara is progressing the concept plans because the North East Link project, including the Bulleen Road interchange, will have a significant impact on the 23-court Boroondara Tennis Centre and the 18-hole Freeway Golf Course. Under the current design released by NELA, the BTC will be demolished to make way for a Doncaster busway park and ride facility and several holes of the golf course will be removed.",

        "raw_content": "SEXUAL TERRORISM: All the Perfumes of Eurabia Won\u2019t Sweeten the Sharia Stench of Cologne\nIvan Jurcevic, till his New Year\u2019s eve 12/31/15 eyewitness epiphany, deemed Muslim rampages in Europe the stuff of \u201cright wing PEGIDA [a grass roots European anti-Islamization advocacy group] propaganda videos.\u201d\nBut that evening Jurcevic, a Cologne, Germany hotel club bouncer, witnessed barbaric scenes of sexual assault against women, a hemorrhagic stab wounding, attacks on police, and other acts of violence, committed directly in front of Cologne\u2019s iconic cathedral, the K\u00f6lner Dom. All the mayhem Jurcevic observed was perpetrated by roving throngs of Muslim males, whom he noted caustically, were from among those ostensible \u201crefugees\u201d that \u201c\u2026we welcomed just 3-months ago with teddy bears and water bottles on the main Munich railway station.\u201d\nIntrepid, yeoman reporting by Breitbart London\u2014as even acknowledged in a Times of London op-ed\u2014exposed the scope and brutality of these Muslim immigrant-perpetrated events, which were initially suppressed by German, and other Western European governmental sources, and their simpatico, cultural relativist lapdog media.\nConsistent with bowdlerized reportage on commonplace, heinous acts of misogyny rampant in Muslim societies\u2014notably, female genital mutilation, or the Islamic State\u2019s practice of jihad sexual slavery\u2014the canonical Islamic roots of such predatory behavior [see also Koran 2:223 which designates women as \u201ctilth\u201d sexual objects for Muslim men, \u201cwhen or how you (men]) will\u201d] were of course ignored in mainstream media outlets belatedly acknowledging the mass acts of sexual assault committed New Year\u2019s Eve by Muslim males in Cologne, and elsewhere across Western Europe.\nThis predictable lacune in mainstream media reporting is compounded by the universal failure\u2014of all media outlets\u2014to comprehend that the shocking events which transpired New Year\u2019s Eve are merely symptomatic of a decades long Islamization process, the \u201cfulfilment\u201d of the dystopian ideal of \u201cEurabia\u201d \u2013 From Europe to Eurabia (as analyzed, primarily, in my book, \u201cSharia Versus Freedom\u201d).\nThere is ubiquitous ignorance about the origins of the term \u201cEurabia,\u201d despite its not infrequent usage, and a meticulous documentation of the term\u2019s genesis by historian Bat Ye\u2019or.\nThe intimately related Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) was born of the Arab League\u2019s October, 1973 Yom Kippur war against Israel, which ended in another Israeli victory, and the associated oil embargo. The EAD produced an alphabet soup of European Community, and later European Union-funded organizations charged with planning joint political, cultural, social, industrial, commercial, and technical-scientific projects.\nSoon afterward, it spawned a European Parliamentary Association for Euro-Arab Cooperation whose members represented a broad spectrum of European Community political groups. Biannual Euro-Arab Parliamentary meetings convened alternately in Europe and the Arab nations. Some 100 European and Arab members of their respective Parliaments attended, in conjunction with observers from the European Community/European Union Commission, the Arab League, and other international organizations. In Damascus, during an initial meeting September 14-17, 1974, the Arab delegates established their political preconditions for economic agreements with Western Europe, specifically demanding:\n1. Israel\u2019s unconditional withdrawal to the 1949 armistice lines\n2. Arab sovereignty over the Old City of Jerusalem\n3. Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) participation (lead by Yasser Arafat), in any negotiations\n4. European Community pressure on the United States to detach it from Israel and bring its policies closer to those of the Arab states\nI discovered a remarkable US Department of State [USDOS] memo from the U.S. embassy in Madrid, dated September 19, 1974 [MADRID 05880 191259Z, declassified June 30, 2005], which refers to a parallel, contemporaneous meeting that took place in Cordoba September 12-16, 1974, as it notes, \u201cone-time capital of [the] caliphate of Cordoba, and one of [the] most historic centers of [the] Moorish legacy in Spain.\u201d What is described as the \u201cemotional and symbolic highlight of the conference\u201d occurred on September 13, 1974:\nWHEN MOSLEM CONFEREES WERE ALLOWED TO HOLD MOSLEM PRAYER SERVICE IN CORDOBA\u2019S FAMED MOSQUE-CATHEDRAL. THIS WAS REPORTEDLY FIRST TIME IN SEVEN CENTURIES, I.E., SINCE 1236 [the] WHEN HUGE CORDOBA MOSQUE WAS CONVERTED INTO CHRISTIAN CATHEDRAL IN WAKE OF CASTILLIAN RECONQUEST OF CITY, THAT A MOSLEM PRAYER SERVICE HAS BEEN HELD IN CORDOBA\u2019S MOSQUE TURNED CATHEDRAL.\nThe State Department analyst, unfortunately, omitted the fact that the \u201cmosque turned cathedral\u201d had simply been restored to a cathedral as a result of the 13th century Castillian reconquest, some 5-centuries after the mid-8th century \u201cconversion\u201d of the original [Visigothic] Christian cathedral to a mosque, resulting from the jihad conquest, brutal subjugation, and resultant Sharia-imposing occupation of the Iberian peninsula. However, this document also reveals that the USDOS analyst was fully aware of the advent of \u201cEurabia,\u201d precisely as self-characterized in an official European socio-political journal [see below] bearing the title Eurabia. To the analyst\u2019s credit, s/he is fully cognizant of the politicization of the so-called \u201cPalestinian question,\u201d noting \u201ca marked bias for the Arab viewpoint,\u201d even concluding that this biased viewpoint\u2014fully concordant with the Islam\u2019s jihad supremacism\u2014was the most salient feature of the Conference.\nEurabia was the title of a journal published in the mid-1970s by the European Committee for the Coordination of Friendship Associations with the Arab World. Eurabia\u2019s editor was Lucien Bitterlin, President of the Association of Franco-Arab Solidarity; the journal was published jointly by Euro-Arab associations in London, Paris, and Geneva. Simply put, Eurabia served as a Euro-Arab Dialogue mouthpiece. Let me illustrate but one of the alarming Euro-Arab Dialogue\u2019s conduit functions. During a 1974 Organization of the Islamic Conference [since re-named, Organization of Islamic Cooperation], meeting in Lahore, Pakistan, OIC general secretary Mohammed Hasan Mohammed al-Tohami highlighted two key related goals:\n(1) Urgent [convening] of a meeting of specialists in the propagation of Islam on a world level, and the establishment of a Jihad Fund\u2026this fund is open with no restrictions\u2026in all fields of Jihad\n(2) Caring for the affairs of cultural centers in Europe, and the establishment of [additional] cultural centers in the continent\nEmbodying an insidious aspect of the jihad to which al-Tohami alluded, i.e., cultural jihadism, the Euro-Arab Dialogue introduced the educational and cultural programs of European Islamic Centers into European schools.\nAlready in 1978, the great historian of Medieval European Islam, Charles Emmanuel Dufourcq, was troubled by the consequences of such dangerous historical and cultural revisionist trends. Dufourcq pondered, balefully, whether \u201c\u2026in the waning years of our 20th century\u2026 there might be a danger of a recurrence, in the immediate future, by other modalities, of the upheaval provoked more than a thousand years ago by Islamic penetration of our continent.\u201d\nEleven years after Dufourcq\u2019s death in 1982, Bat Ye\u2019or (from a 1993 French interview, published in English translation in 1994) echoed his intuitive concerns about Europe\u2019s re-Islamization, and warned more broadly,\n\u201cI do not see serious signs of a Europeanization of Islam anywhere, a move that would be expressed in a relativization of religion, a self-critical view of the history of Islamic imperialism\u2026we are light years away from such a development\u2026On the contrary, I think that we are participating in the Islamization of Europe, reflected both in daily occurrences and in our way of thinking\u2026All the racist fanaticism that permeates the Arab countries and Iran has been manifested in Europe in recent years\u2026\u201d\nGerman Islamologist Karl Binswanger\u2019s 1977 study \u201cInvestigations on the Status of Non-Muslims in the Ottoman Empire of the 16th Century, With a New Definition of the Concept \u2018Dhimma\u2019\u201d, was a pioneering examination of dhimmitude under Ottoman rule. Subsequently, he analyzed Islamic traditionalism in Iran, Syria, and, ominously, within Germany itself.\nBinswanger\u2019s seminal 1977 analysis examined the discriminatory and degrading conditions imposed upon non-Muslim \u201cdhimmis\u201d \u2014 predominantly Christians \u2014 subjugated under the Ottoman Turkish Sharia in the 16th century. His study elucidated the key role played by the creation of Muslim \u201csatellite\u201d colonies during the Islamization of these vanquished Christian societies:\nGeographic integrity is shattered by implanting Islamic nuclei.; The sectarian reference point of [subjugated non-Muslim] Dhimmi communities is removed, and further sectarian pruning occurs according to Islamic standards. The autonomy of Dhimmis is reduced to an insubstantial thing\u2026 They are driven out the moment that Islamic nuclei appear in the area. Dhimmis\u2019 possession of their churches is granted. These are closed or razed the as soon as a mosque is established in their neighborhood\u2026Regulations in the social area\u2026demoralize the individual: [they] are consciously instituted for their degradation. The social environment of the Dhimmis is characterized by fear, uncertainty and degradation.\nBinswanger, during 1990, published three remarkably prescient essays on the (primarily Turkish) Muslim immigrant community of Germany. Binswanger opens his 1990 essay, \u201cIslamic Fundamentalism in the German Federal Republic: Development, Inventory, Prospects,\u201d with this disturbing illustration:\n\u201cWe reject reform and modernization. We will keep fighting until a godly order is established!\u201d This quotation is not from Cemalettin Kaplan, the \u2018Khomeini of Cologne\u2019, but rather from Kadir Baran, the West German national vice-chairman of the \u201cIdealist Associations\u201d [\u201cIdealistenvereine\u201d], in other words, from a \u2018Grey Wolf\u201d. [u]ntil the Autumn of 1987 the federation\u2019s ideology was purely nationalistic, chauvinistically Turkish. This is symptomatic of a development that one can observe among Turks in the Federal Republic of Germany, too, since Khomeini\u2019s victory over the Shah: Islamic fundamentalism is on the march\u2026\nBinswanger then demonstrates how the strident re-affirmation of Islamic identity within Germany\u2019s Turkish immigrant population engendered, \u201c\u2026an increasingly intense demonization of the culture, legal and social order of the host society: the image of Germans as enemies.\u201d Central to this disturbing process was the inculcation of validating Islamic (i.e., Koranic) motifs which promote hostility to non-Muslims. Arguably the most accomplished (and easily the most unapologetic) scholar of how the Ottoman Turks progressively imposed the Sharia on non-Muslims, Binswanger became alarmed by the obvious modern parallels to that phenomenon he observed in the behaviors of their contemporary Turkish descendants in Germany.\nValidating Binswanger\u2019s concerns, two decades afterwards, in 2011, German lawyer, law professor, and veteran television journalist, Joachim Wagner, published a study of the parallel Sharia-based Islamic \u201clegal\u201d system burgeoning in Germany, entitled Richter ohne Gesetz (\u201cJudges without Laws\u201d). Wagner\u2019s disturbing investigation \u2013summarized in English during a two\u2013part Der Spiegel series\u2014elucidated how what he terms \u201cIslamic shadow justice\u201d undermines Germany\u2019s Western constitutional legal system, ultimately abrogating even German criminal law. The parallel, indeed superseding application of Sharia within Germany\u2019s Muslim community is a widespread, dangerous phenomenon according to Wagner\u2019s research.\nAs far as I know, very prevalent. There are no reliable statistics, since these mediations take place almost exclusively in secret. But criminal investigators who specialize in organized crime and violence within Muslim immigrant families have confirmed for me that in nearly every conflict in this milieu, the first attempt is to find a solution outside the German justice system. These arbitrators try to resolve conflicts according to Islamic law and to sideline German criminal law. We see witness testimony withdrawn (from German courts) and accusations trivialized to the point where an entire case runs aground. The justice system is \u201cpowerless,\u201d partly because it hasn\u2019t tackled the problem vigorously enough.\nWagner\u2019s \u201cJudges without Laws\u201d documents judges and prosecutors recollections of threats toward public officials and systematic interference with witnesses. For example, Stephan Kuperion, a juvenile court judge in Berlin, noted \u201cWe know we\u2019re being given a performance, but the courts are powerless.\u201d And Federal public prosecutor J\u00f6rn Hauschild provided this ominous warning: \u201cIt would be a terrible development if serious criminal offenses in these circles could no longer be resolved. The legal system would be reduced to collecting victims.\u201d\nKeenly aware of the more profound, fundamental incompatibility of Western law, and Sharia, Wagner accurately described the latter as being, \u201cVery foreign, and for a German lawyer, completely incomprehensible at first. It follows its own rules. The Islamic arbitrators [like wife-battering moderate aren\u2019t interested in evidence when they deliver a judgment, and unlike in German criminal law, the question of who is at fault doesn\u2019t play much of a role.\u201d\nWagner also made this astute diagnosis of the ongoing predicament created by accepting Sharia dictates which undermines the legal\u2014and moral\u2014 fabric of German governance according to antithetical Western law:\nThey\u2019re [German public prosecutors and judges] overwhelmed, because they don\u2019t know how to react. They\u2019re in the middle of a legal case, and suddenly there\u2019s no evidence. Eighty-seven percent of the cases I researched either were dismissed or ended with an acquittal when Islamic arbitrators were involved. Prosecutors need to investigate Islamic arbitrators more intensively. If they had done so sooner, the arbitrators would have been convicted of obstruction of justice long ago. And certain lawyers need to stop behaving as if they were mere servants to a parallel justice system. They allow themselves to be directed by their clients\u2019 desires, regardless of truth and justice. And finally, my plea would be for judges to hear witnesses earlier, which would reduce the arbitrators\u2019 influence.\nTwo years before the 2015 bolus of \u201cmigrants\u201d from hotbeds of bellicose Islamic supremacism began flooding Germany, alarming data were published in 2013 as part of the Six Country Immigrant Integration Comparative Survey of Turkish and Moroccan Muslim immigrants to Western Europe. Findings from the German Muslims sampled as part of this survey revealed 47 per cent already agreed that \u201cthe rules of the Koran are more important to me than the rules of Germany.\u201d These Sharia-promoting dynamics will only accelerate the trends for Islamic law supremacy over Western law in Germany Joachim Wagner crystallized 5-years ago.\nDutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders has emerged as a bold, highly informed popular antagonist to the deeply entrenched Eurabian establishment and its dystopian, malign vision. Responding to the New Year\u2019s eve sexual jihad depredations by mobs of Muslim men in neighboring Cologne, Germany, Wilders\u2019 January 6, 2016 open letter challenged his own Dutch Prime Minister\u2019s shameful silence:\nYesterday and today, I received hundreds of emails. Hundreds of emails full of fear and indignation. About the horrific events on New Year\u2019s Eve in Cologne. I have not heard you about those events. I find that very strange. After Paris last November, we now have Cologne. After the Islamic terror, the sexual jihad. But we do not hear you. Hello, Mr. Prime Minister? Are you still there? What happened in Cologne is repulsive. Fear reigns in Germany, but also in the Netherlands. Don\u2019t you notice it? Thousands of Dutch women worry about their safety. Thousands of Dutch men fear for the safety of their wives. And thousands of Dutch parents are afraid of what might happen to their daughters. All these people realize that it will not be long before large group attacks on women will also take place in the Netherlands. Testosterone bombs I have called them, but it is far worse. This is sexual terrorism, this is sexual jihad.\nAn April 26-28, 2006 \u201ccelebration\u201d (cited in the Preface to the 7th printing of Bat Ye\u2019or\u2019s \u201cEurabia\u201d) of [then] three decades of the Euro-Arab Dialogue, was held at the Paris Institute of the Arab World. The event was touted as a Euro-Arab Dialogue Forum, with a theme entitled, \u201cProspects and Contents of a Euro-Arab Strategic Partnership\u201d. Former President Chirac\u2019s Foreign Minister, Philippe Douste Blazy, delivered the final address at the April 26th Opening Session. The Forum\u2019s \u201cObjectif\u201d, according to the Forum website, stated: \u201cTo relaunch the Euro-Arab Dialogue in conformity with new strategic perspectives in order to constitute the future bilateral pole of international equilibrium and to participate in the creation of a new world order.\u201d\nTragically, the New Year\u2019s Eve sexual assault rampages, and other acts of violent mayhem perpetrated by hordes of Muslim male \u201ctestosterone bombs,\u201d to use Geert Wilders\u2019 apt characterization, in Cologne, Germany, and well beyond, are manifestations of what this dystopian new Eurabian \u201corder\u201d has wrought. Only by electing courageous, gimlet-eyed leaders such as Wilders, who are well-versed in the theory and practice of Islamic supremacism, can Europe reverse course, and emerge from its self-imposed Eurabian morass, a civilizational death spiral.\nIsrael / Middle EastLondon / EuropeNational SecurityCologneEurope Migrant CrisisIslamIslamism",

        "raw_content": "France\u2019s pivot to Asia: It\u2019s more than just submarines\nPhilippe Le Corre and Michael E. O\u2019Hanlon Wednesday, May 11, 2016\nEditors\u2019 Note: Since President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande\u2019s 2012 election, France has launched an Asia-wide initiative in an attempt to halt declining trade figures and improve its overall leverage with the region, write Philippe Le Corre and Michael O\u2019Hanlon. This piece originally appeared on The National Interest.\nOn April 26, France\u2019s defense shipbuilding company DCNS secured a victory in winning, against Japan and Germany, a long-awaited $40 billion Australian submarine deal. It may not come as a surprise to anyone who has been following France\u2019s growing interest in the Asia-Pacific for the past five years. Since President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande\u2019s 2012 election, the country has launched an Asia-wide initiative in an attempt to halt declining trade figures and improve its overall leverage with the region.\nVisiting New Caledonia last weekend, Prime Minister Manuel Valls immediately decided on the spot to fly to Australia to celebrate the submarine news. Having been at odds in the 1990s over France\u2019s decision to test its nuclear weapon capacities on an isolated Pacific island, Paris and Canberra have begun a close partnership over the last decade, culminating in the decision by Australia\u2019s Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, in power since September 2015.\nUnlike its Japanese competitor Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), DCNS promised to build the submarine main parts on Australian soil, creating 2,900 jobs in the Adelaide area. The French also secured support from U.S. defense contractors Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, one of which will eventually build the twelve shortfin Barracuda submarines\u2019 combat systems. Meanwhile, this unexpected victory, in light of the close strategic relationship between Australia and Japan, has shed light on France\u2019s sustained ambitions in the Asia-Pacific region. Thanks to its overseas territories of New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, French Polynesia and Clipperton Island, France has the world\u2019s second-largest maritime domain. It is also part of QUAD, the Quadrilateral Defence Coordination Group that also includes the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and which coordinates security efforts in the Pacific, particularly in the maritime domain, by supporting island states to robustly and sustainably manage their natural resources, including fisheries.\nFrance is also attempting to correct an excessive focus on China by developing new ties with India, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, which have all received a number of French ministerial visits. France\u2019s overseas territories also include a presence in the southern part of the Indian Ocean, with the islands of Mayotte, R\u00e9union and the Scattered Islands, and French Southern and Antarctic Territories, as well as the northwest region of the Indian Ocean through its permanent military presence in the United Arab Emirates and Djibouti. Altogether these presences encompass one million French citizens. This sets France apart from its fellow EU member states regarding defense and security in the Asia-Pacific, particularly as France is a top supplier of military equipment to several Asian countries including Singapore, Malaysia, India and Australia. Between 2008 and 2012, Asian nations accounted for 28 percent of French defense equipment sales, versus 12 percent during 1998\u20132002. (More broadly, 70 percent of European containerized merchandise trade transits through the Indian Ocean.)\nDespite its unique position, France is also supportive of a joint European Union policy toward the region, especially when it comes to developments in the South China Sea. Last March, with support from Paris, Berlin, London and other members, Federica Mogherini, the EU\u2019s High representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, issued a statement criticizing China\u2019s actions:\n\u201cThe EU is committed to maintaining a legal order for the seas and oceans based upon the principles of international law, as reflected notably in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This includes the maintenance of maritime safety, security, and cooperation, freedom of navigation and overflight. While not taking a position on claims to land territory and maritime space in the South China Sea, the EU urges all claimants to resolve disputes through peaceful means, to clarify the basis of their claims, and to pursue them in accordance with international law including UNCLOS and its arbitration procedures.\u201d\nThis does not mean that France is neglecting its \u201cglobal partnership\u201d with China. In 2014, the two countries celebrated fifty years of diplomatic relations; both governments conduct annual bilateral dialogues on international and security issues. But as a key EU state, a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a significant contributor to the Asia-Pacific\u2019s security, France has launched a multidimensional Asia policy.\nAll of this should be seen as welcome news by Washington. While there would have been advantages to any of the three worthy bids, a greater French role in the Asia-Pacific should be beneficial. At this crucial historical moment in China\u2019s rise and the region\u2019s broader blossoming, the United States needs a strong and engaged European partnership to encourage Beijing in the right direction and push back together when that does not occur. Acting in concert with some of the world\u2019s other major democracies can add further legitimacy to America\u2019s actions to uphold the international order in the Asia-Pacific. To be sure, Japan, South Korea and Australia are key U.S. partners here and will remain so. But each also has its own limitations (and in Japan\u2019s case, a great deal of historical baggage in dealing with China).\nEuropean states are already heavily involved in economic interactions with China. The submarine decision will help ensure a broader European role that includes a hard-headed perspective on security trends as well.\nSenior Fellow, Mossavar-Rahmani Center on Business and Government - Harvard Kennedy School\nTwitter PhLeCorre",

        "title": "Relocating to the Buffalo Grove Area? Why you should work with a local Realtor\u00ae",
        "raw_content": "Relocating to the Buffalo Grove Area? Why you should work with a local Realtor\u00ae\nHiring a local Realtor\u00ae to assist you with your new home search ensures you are getting a true expert in the communities you are researching.\nAfter all you read in the newspapers and hear on the news; if you\u2019re a home buyer you are probably wondering how you can get the best house for the best deal in today\u2019s market. So I want you to ask yourself, who is the best Realtor\u00ae for this challenging job? Isn\u2019t your home one of your largest investments? In this tough market, I feel that hiring a local realtor, is one of the wisest financial moves you will ever pursue.\nIf you are a buyer, your buyer\u2019s agent needs to be a true expert in the communities you are interested in purchasing. Your agent should be completely versed in the schools, school districts, boundary lines, commuting, type of water the homes use and so much more. For instance, school district boundaries can change from year to year and many listing realtors are relying on old school information when they list a house. This causes the home listing to have incorrect school spellings, the incorrect school within a district, or in extreme cases the wrong district altogether. This is happening more frequently today, especially with the influx of foreclosures and bank owned property on the market. In these instances, the seller\u2019s bank hires the real estate agent and this agent may live and work hours from the property. Unfortunately, these agents may never have visited the property and are clueless of the school boundaries.\nUnfortunately, these unintentional mistakes can, in turn, affect the buyer\u2019s Realtor\u00ae. The buyer\u2019s Realtor\u00ae who is not familiar with the area, while searching for prospective homes will either miss good homes in the search in a preferred school district or advise their client to purchase a home in the wrong school district. Even if the listing Realtor\u00ae has the right school district but spells the name of the school incorrectly, you may miss a home in your search.\nAnother important reason to hire a local Realtor\u00ae is that they are familiar with the nuances of the specific neighborhoods. One time a friend of mine moved in to a neighborhood and didn\u2019t realize the maintenance involved to purify the well water. Her Realtor\u00ae wasn\u2019t familiar with this and in turn didn\u2019t inform her of the necessary upkeep. A local Realtor\u00ae would have been knowledgeable about these issues.\nWhen you are negotiating on behalf of your client, it is always better to be the one who is more knowledgeable about the area. If you are representing the buyer and the seller won\u2019t budge on the price, a local real estate agent will always have the advantage if he/she has seen the comparable houses and understand the reasoning behind the local pricing. This gives the local Realtor\u00ae the upper hand in negotiations and allows her to get you the absolute best value for your money.\nAnd last, hiring a local Realtor\u00ae when purchasing a home in an unfamiliar area will give you access to the best homes before they even hit the market. Many times when I have a buyer in a specific price range and they can\u2019t find a home that they are truly in love with, I go the extra step. I ask the realtors in my office, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, if anyone has a listing that they know that is coming on the market soon. If this networking proves unsuccessful, I take it one step further and ask my close friends and colleagues I trust in the other offices in town to see if they know of any listing that is going to meet the needs of my buyers. Although inventory is high, and you are probably laughing to yourself that a person can\u2019t find a home in today\u2019s market, many times the best homes do not even hit the market. It\u2019s the local agents who know of these homes first.\nHiring a local real estate agent may be just one of many strategies to getting the most for your housing dollar, but it is the first step. By making that first step in the right direction, you are well on your way to making your relocation as easy and financially sound as possible.\nFiled Under: Relocation Topics, Uncategorized Tagged With: Relocation Topics",

        "title": "Unleashing Asean's full potential with data-driven governance, ASEAN Business - THE BUSINESS TIMES",
        "raw_content": "Asean / Indonesia\nMark Micallef\nTHE Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) has a bright future ahead of it.\nAs shared by Singapore\u2019s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the 33rd Asean Summit, Asean is poised to become the fourth largest economy worldwide by 2030.\nThis is not surprising as a study by Google and Temasek forecasts the Asean internet economy to exceed US$240 billion by 2025, US$40 billion more than previously expected, due to its booming middle class and rising internet penetration.\nHowever, for Asean to become the next e-commerce gold rush, all 10-member states need to remain committed to good governance.\nOnly by ensuring that every country adheres to the agreed-upon common set of rules and norms of good conduct will the region be able to operate across boundaries confidently and securely, to reach its full economic potential as a trade bloc.\nRecognizing this, Asean has identified \u201cstrengthening governance by improving transparency in the public sector\u201d as one of the action plans necessary to realize a more responsive, competitive, innovative and dynamic region by 2025. Although leveraging data is one way of improving governance, it does not guarantee success.\nData woes\nAs the world becomes increasingly connected, it is also generating data at an unprecedented speed.\nCase in point: A recent study found that we are currently generating 2.5 quintillion bytes of data per day. But it does not stop there - this figure will continue to grow with the rise of the Internet of Things and as governments continue to digitise their processes and offerings to deliver better services to citizens.\nThe massive volume of incoming data will present numerous challenges in ensuring good governance if public sector agencies do not have the right tools to manae it.\nSome of those challenges are:\n- Limited ability to be responsive\nAs legacy systems tend to house data in siloed repositories, aggregating data for analysis to get a comprehensive view of an organisation\u2019s operations and its citizens can be a tedious task. Having a fragmented view of its data hinders a public sector agency from identifying which processes require improvements and ensuring its policies and citizen services are responding to\ncitizen needs.\n- Processing inefficiencies\nSince data will be generated by various sources, in different formats (ie structured and unstructured) and in huge volumes, it will put a strain on the existing data infrastructure to ingest, process and store them. Unstructured data, for instance, will need to be reformatted to fit the requirements of a traditional database system. This extra step creates latency, resulting in delayed identification of trends or events and mitigation actions.\n- Inability to make informed decisions\nTo ease the strains on traditional systems, organisations might archive or delete data to free up capacity for optimal performance. By making historic data unavailable for analysis, it prevents the organisation from getting accurate insights necessary to make informed mission-critical decisions.\nCuring the big data headache\nOvercoming big data challenges will require public sector agencies to rearchitect their IT infrastructure to support a new approach to data management.\nA key component of the new architecture is a platform that can centralise the massive amount of information found across the organisation.\nWith greater visibility into its data, public sector agencies can gain a deeper understanding of their operations and find the best ways to optimise their existing IT infrastructure and reduce operational costs.\nThe platform should also enable agencies to easily monitor and control their data from a single console, as well as enforce role-based policies to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data.\nBesides that, the platform needs to integrate disparate data from multiple sources, to allow public sector agencies to apply advanced analytics and machine learning to the unified data.\nBy doing so, organisations can gain accurate insights to help them make informed decisions in a timely manner and deliver more responsive services to citizens. Additionally, this move can help uncover hidden threats or anomalies at an early stage, thereby preventing fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing or cyber-attacks.\nTake the case of Indonesia\u2019s Directorate General of Taxes for example. By using the Cloudera Enterprise platform, the government agency managed to reduce the time it takes to process data from four days to less than one minute. Armed with accurate insights in real time, the agency is now able to identify 30,000 suspected tax evaders in a week, instead of 100 to 200 alleged tax evaders per year. By combatting tax evasion this way, the agency could potentially obtain an additional one trillion rupiah (S$96,952,700) in tax money, while increasing the citizen\u2019s trust in the government institution.\nData is often said to be the new oil. This spells good news for the public sector as it is usually data-rich, especially as it digitises its operations.\nWhen used effectively, data can help enhance governance by enabling public sector agencies to better detect fraud, prevent abuse of scarce government resources, and develop policies and services that are aligned with citizen needs.\nA modern platform designed to manage large volumes of diverse data effectively is therefore necessary to allow data to provide those strategic values to the public sector in Asean, which ultimately enables the region to confidently seize cross-border opportunities and realise its full economic potential.\nThe author is the vice president of Asia Pacific and Japan at Cloudera.\nAsean / Indonesia / digital economy",

Maybe I need to start smoking weed,\" she said to laughter and applause, before turning to Offset and saying: \"you husband, thank you.\"\nCardi B's vivacious charisma shines through on the album, in which she brashly owns her sex industry past - and her spectacular rise to the upper echelons of music.\nThe star born Belcalis Almanzar provided the soundtrack of the 2018 summer with her saucy hit, I Like It, which pays homage to her Latin roots by sampling a 60s-era boogaloo standard.\nOne of the most successful albums of 2018, the Recording Industry Association of America certified all 13 tracks on Invasion of Privacy as \"gold\" or higher - a benchmark of sales - the first female artist to do so.\nChildish Gambino won the first Song and Record of the Year awards ever for a rap song, a milestone for the genre that the academy has drawn criticism for snubbing in the past.\nGambino - the rap alter ego of actor Donald Glover - was one of the night's leading stars with four wins, also scooping a Best Rap/Sung Performance award and Best Music Video for the provocative hit, This Is America.\nBut he was not at the gala to enjoy the moment. His collaborators told journalists they did not know why he did not attend, but he had reportedly declined an invitation to perform.\n\"I think if you listen to the radio or if you just watch our culture, if you look at the most downloaded, streamed artists . . . you see what people are getting inspired by,\" said Ludwig Goransson, who co-wrote the hit with Gambino.\n\"It's about time that something like this happened with the Grammys,\" he told journalists after the gala. \"They are getting the same kind of senses as the people.\"\nThe trap gospel song packed with social commentary juxtaposes an up-tempo rhythm, layered with church hymns and Afrobeats, with a heavier, more foreboding bassline.\nDrake - who snagged seven nominations - won Best Rap Song for God's Plan, his only win of the night for the inescapable smash of 2018.\nThe Canadian rapper - who has sparred with the Recording Academy in past years - showed up to accept the award despite rumours that he would skip the gala.\nBut his acceptance speech was delivered with a perceptible twinge of bitterness.\n\"It's like the first time in Grammys history where I actually am who I thought I was for a second, so I like that - that is really nice,\" he said.\nKendrick Lamar, who led the Grammy nominee field with eight nods, tied for his first win of the night for King's Dead, which he had performed alongside Jay Rock, Future and James Blake.\nRapper-drummer Anderson .Paak shared that Best Rap Performance prize for Bubblin.\nMusic industry chameleon Pharrell Williams, meanwhile, topped rap megastar Kanye West to take home the trophy for Non-Classical Producer of the Year.

        "title": "Alanis Morissette Is An Advice Columnist Now & Her Songs Have Already Given Us Some Amazing Advice",
        "raw_content": "Alanis Morissette Is An Advice Columnist Now & Her Songs Have Already Given Us Some Amazing Advice\nWith news that legendary singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette is to have her own advice column in the Guardian Weekend magazine, it seems appropriate to consult her songs for all of the lessons she has already taught us. I don't know about you, but Morissette has soundtracked so many of the important moments of my life. Full disclosure \u2014 I'm not one of those Jagged Little Pill fanatics, who dismiss anything she's done since. I'm a completist, and actually think there are better albums than Morissette's first mainstream release. For instance, follow-up Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie is eclectic and challenging in all the ways that Jagged Little Pill's not. But my total favorite Morissette album of all time is 2002's Under Rug Swept.\nHowever, instead of arguing about which Alanis Morissette album is the best, it'd be far more sensible to document all of the times she's already given the best advice, like, ever. If you've got a question for Morissette, you can email her at ask.alanis@theguardian.com, and hopefully she'll answer you when her column starts on Jan. 16, 2016 in the Guardian Weekend. But if, like me, Morissette has already gotten you through some tough times, maybe you'll join me in turning to her music, and helping decide which Alanis Morissette songs contain the best advice.\n1. \"Front Row\" From Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie\n\"I know he's blood but you can still turn him away, you don't owe him anything.\"\nThis advice may sound brutal at first, but it's an important lesson to learn. As a human being, you're responsible for yourself, only.\n2. \"So Unsexy\" From Under Rug Swept\nFab on YouTube\n\"Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make me feel the way I thought only my father could.\"\nMorissette often writes about being in situations in which she's inadvertently given her own power away, despite being a strong person at heart. Realizing that you're not in control, but want to be, is the first step.\n3. \"This Grudge\" From So-Called Chaos\nDennis Ribeiro on YouTube\n\"I want to be big and let go of this grudge that's grown old. All this time I've not known how to rest this bygone... I wanna forgive for the both of us.\"\nSometimes, a grudge can eat away at us. Dealing with a situation head on \u2014 and making the decision to forgive \u2014 can be a real weight off of your shoulders.\n4. \"Moratorium\" From Flavors Of Entanglement\n\"I declare a moratorium on things relationship. I declare a respite from the toils of liaison. I do need a breather from the flavors of entanglement. I declare a full time out from all things commitment.\"\nSometimes, being single really is the best thing, and there's no shame in taking a time out.\n5. \"Out Is Through\" From So-Called Chaos\n\"My tendency to want to do away feels natural. My urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable. But I know the only way out is through.\"\nIt can be easier to give up, rather than work at something, especially when things get tricky or hard. But sticking with a problem, and working through it, is often the best solution.\n6. \"Unsent\" From Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie\nWarner Bros. Records on YouTube\n\"I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me and think solely about themselves. And you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time. I used to say the more tragic the better.\"\nRecognizing past behaviors, especially when they involve always being attracted to a certain type of love interest is an important part of growing up. It's about realizing who you are, and what you need from a partner.\n7. \"You Learn\" From Jagged Little Pill\nAlanis Morissette on YouTube\n\"I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone. I recommend walking around naked in your living room.\"\nThis is one of Morissette's most iconic songs, and its message is clear: You've got to live through the tragedies, the joys, and the surprises, because that's what life is. Having your heart broken may hurt like hell, but it's the only way you'll discover what you really want out of life.\n8. \"21 Things I Want In A Lover\" From Under Rug Swept\n\"These are 21 things that I want in a lover. Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer. I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter.\"\nIt's fine to ask for you want. In fact, it's the best. Morissette's song about sexual empowerment is bold in all its statements. You get to make choices about your body, and this includes who you choose to have sex with, how, and when.\n9. \"Precious Illusions\" From Under Rug Swept\n\"I want to decide between survival and bliss. And though I know who I'm not I still don't know who I am. But I know I won't keep on playing the victim.\"\nRealizing that only you can be your own savior is an important part of self-development. The sooner you realise that no one is going to sweep you off your feet and make your whole life perfect, the better! And it's OK to not know what you're doing with your life. Everyone feels that way sometimes. Just keep going.\nAs Morissette's songs prove, she's already the best advice giver there is. Which is why I can't wait for her new column! Now, I just need to think up some super important questions to ask her.",

But, how will they hear without a preacher? Who will send them? Who will go? (Romans 10:13-15)\nFor disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have the Holy Spirit who will guide us into all truth and can give us specific direction and commands. Discerning the voice of God (and therefore His will) comes through experience \u2013 spending time with God in prayer and reading of the Holy Bible.\nJesus\u2019 last words were about the Great Commission, to go into all the world and make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28:18-20 and Mark 16:15-16). For many of us, living in a 24/7 world, we\u2019re far too busy doing things which should take a lesser priority. For many, we\u2019re just too busy to be able to hear what God wants to say to us. Jesus stated that His sheep hear His voice (John 10:27). It is not for want of trying, it is for want of listening!\nIn the Psalms it is written: \u2018Be still and know that I am God\u2019 (Psalm 46:10a). God has promised to guide disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, but there are conditions that need to be met. Delight yourself in the Lord, seek first His kingdom and do not participate in deliberate and wilful sin, are just three to name but many.\nIf you seek God\u2019s presence you will understand His will for your life. God\u2019s will can be discerned through many ways and means: The Holy Bible, the Holy Spirit's voice, your conscience (don\u2019t do that!), through other people (a word of wisdom or knowledge, a prophecy etc.). Before you make any major decisions in your life, you may wish to ask counsel from your pastor, elder, respected prophet or a mature person who knows you well. BUT this does not eliminate seeking God yourself about the situation first and trying to find His good pleasing and perfect will.\n- Mathew Backholer\nFind out how to prepare for a mission with Mathew's book 'How to Plan, Prepare and Successfully Complete Your Short-Term Mission' Go\nOr Short-Term Missions, A Christian Guide to STMs Go\nShort-Term Missions, A Christian Guide to STMs Go\nReformation to Revival, 500 Years of God's Glory Go",

If you are not a rowsandall user, this might be a reason to join. My friend Sander has added a tools called \"Rankings 2.0\". This will take your results from any of the standard Concept2 rankings pieces and put them on a chart superimposed over the world records and rankings of the year for your age, gender and weigh class. Here's what my chart looks like:\nIn addition to the curve, there is also a percentage down in the lower left corner, called the \"Stayer Score\". One the main difference between rowers is whether they are better at sprinting or long distances. The Stayer Score tries to capture that thought. If you are above 70%, you are more of a stayer and your long distance paces drop off less than other rowers. If it is below 30%, then they drop off more quickly. Higher isn't better or worse, but it can help see if you are getting what you want out of your training.\nThere's an article explaining what it is and how to use it here: http://analytics.rowsandall.com/2018/01 ... ndall-com/\nThere's another article explaining some of the methodology used for performance prediction in a more in depth article here: http://analytics.rowsandall.com/2018/01 ... t-are-you/\nWe've had a blast experimenting with it and we hope others find it fun and useful.",

Employment increased in food services and drinking places, professional and business services, and health care.\nThe change in total nonfarm payroll employment for May was revised down from +152,000 to +145,000, and the change for June was revised up from +222,000 to +231,000. With these revisions, employment gains in May and June combined were 2,000 more than previously reported.\nIn July, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 9 cents to $26.36. Over the year, average hourly earnings have risen by 65 cents, or 2.5 percent.\nTotal payrolls increased by 209 thousand in July (private payrolls increased 205 thousand).\nPayrolls for May and June were revised up by a combined 2 thousand.\nIn July the year-over-year change was 2.16 million jobs. This is a decent year-over-year gain.\nThe Labor Force Participation Rate increased in July to 62.9%. This is the percentage of the working age population in the labor force.

Spence was charged with assault and battery, threat to commit a crime and bomb or hijack threat, according to court documents.\nOn Tuesday, Barnstable police were called to the transportation center for a report of a disturbance on a Plymouth & Brockton bus, according to a police report. Two passengers told police that Spence had became angry after the bus driver asked him to stop talking on his phone, a police report says.\nAs the bus approached the Airport Rotary near the Cape Cod Mall, Spence got up and assaulted the bus driver, punching him in his face, the report says. The bus driver than slammed on his brakes causing Spence to lose balance, according to the report. As the driver tried to defend himself, another passenger detained Spence in his seat, the report says.\nWhile being detained, Spence threatened to kill the bus driver and hijack the bus, the police report says.

The XJR575 was launched about a year ago, and yet it\u2019s been nowhere as popular as its German rivals, which makes spotting one out in the open a very rare occasion.\nYet, here\u2019s one just sitting comfortably in a parking lot in Umag, Croatia, a small town that\u2019s just 57 miles (92 km) away from Venice, though separated by the Adriatic Sea. The vehicle was caught on camera by spotter LironBain, and the Jag looks both elegant as well as menacing, which was the idea all along.\nJaguar squeezed 575 PS (567 HP) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque out of the car\u2019s 5.0-liter supercharged V8, which is sufficient for a zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint of just 4.4 seconds. Not as quick as BMW\u2019s V12-powered M760Li, but still impressive, especially for a car this size.\nDistinguishable features include a sportier front bumper, lower air intakes, the twin bonnet louvers, side skirts, a rear spoiler, the 20-inch Farallon gloss black wheels and \u2018XJR575\u2019 badging. This particular car is rocking either a Corris Grey or Carpathian Grey paint job \u2013 kind of hard to tell because of the lighting and all the reflections.\nBottom line, this is one fine looking executive saloon, and it\u2019s nice to see that some people aren\u2019t afraid to ignore the German establishment in favor of something much less popular.\nTagsJaguar, Jaguar XJ\nSports Limo?

McCarrick, retired archbishop of Washington, is pictured during a reception for new cardinals at the Vatican Feb. 22, 2014. CNS photo/Paul Haring\nBOSTON \u2013 Boston Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley called for \"three specific actions\" to immediately address allegations of sexual abuse of minors and \"sexual improprieties\" with seminarians made against Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, starting with \"a fair and rapid adjudication of these accusations.\"\nSecond, there must be \"an assessment of the adequacy of our standards and policies in the church at every level, and especially in the case of bishops,\" he said in a statement issued late July 24. \"And third, communicating more clearly to the Catholic faithful and to all victims the process for reporting allegations against bishops and cardinals.\"\n\"Failure to take these actions will threaten and endanger the already weakened moral authority of the church and can destroy the trust required for the church to minister to Catholics and have a meaningful role in the wider civil society,\" Cardinal O'Malley said.\nThe cardinal, who is president of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, issued the statement in response to articles in the national media over the past several days that \"have reported accusations of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick's sexual improprieties with several adults and his criminal violations of the sexual abuse of minors.\"\n\"These alleged actions, when committed by any person, are morally unacceptable and incompatible with the role of a priest, bishop or cardinal,\" Cardinal O'Malley said.\nIn late June, Cardinal McCarrick, the 88-year-old retired archbishop of Washington, said he would no longer exercise any public ministry \"in obedience\" to the Vatican after an allegation he abused a teenager 47 years ago in the Archdiocese of New York was found credible. The cardinal has said he is innocent.\nCardinal O'Malley added: \"In this moment there is no greater imperative for the church than to hold itself accountable to address these matters, which I will bring to my upcoming meetings with the Holy See with great urgency and concern.\"\nMore in this category: \u00ab Cardinal Tagle laments deaths of innocent people in Philippines\tChilean cardinal called to testify for suspected sex abuse cover-up \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Trump signals he could declare national emergency for wall during State of the Union\nTrump signals he may declare emergency for wall\nPresident Trump signaled he could declare a national emergency in order to find funding for a southern border wall, and that declaration could come as soon as next week. Asked by reporters during a human trafficking event whether he was prepared to make that announcement at the State of the Union address Tuesday, Mr. Trump said, \"I'm saying, listen closely to the State of the Union. I think you'll find it very exciting.\"\nWhen a reporter asked whether he expected to make the declaration, he said, \"I don't want to say -- you'll hear the State of the Union and then you'll see what happens right after the State of the Union.\"\nMr. Trump said he's looking at declaring a national emergency because he doesn't believe that conferees will make a deal on border security funding. They have until February 15th to reach an agreement before government funding runs out again for several federal departments and agencies. Mr. Trump blamed Democrats for the stalemate. \"I don't think Democrats want border security,\" he said.\nBut as far as the president is concerned, the wall will be constructed. \"We're building the wall. It's going to get built one way or another,\" Mr. Trump declared. He added that the administration was working on a plan for a better and \"far more beautiful wall.\" He also claimed, without naming any politicians, that many Democrats \"want the wall.\"\n\"They think it's good policy for 2020,\" Mr. Trump said about Democratic opposition to the wall.\nRussia, suspension of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty\nDuring the event, President Trump rejected the idea the U.S. might be risking a new arms race with Russia with its six-month suspension of the INF treaty and said he wanted to get everyone in a big beautiful room to put together a new treaty that would be better. The treaty was originally signed in 1987, and it bans land-based nuclear weapons with a range of 310 to 3,400 miles.\nThe president declined to say whether he is willing to commit military troops to Venezuela, saying only that he would take no option off the table. Demonstrators have amassed on the streets in Caracas, where Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro clings to power, although the leader of the National Assembly, Juan Guaid\u00f3, has been recognized by the U.S. and other countries as the interim president.\nKatiana Krawchenko contributed to this report.",

        "title": "FactCheck: Corbyn cherry-picks hate crime stats \u2013 Channel 4 News",
        "raw_content": "Corbyn cherry-picks hate crime stats\nBy Georgina Lee\nYou might have seen this tweet from Jeremy Corbyn yesterday.\nIt seems to tell a compelling story of the dramatic rise in hate crime in recent years.\nBut more reliable data suggests exactly the opposite could be true.\nWhere are the figures from?\nA Labour spokesperson confirmed to FactCheck that the data in Mr Corbyn\u2019s graph comes from a Home Office report released yesterday.\nWe assume he\u2019s used figures from Table 2 of that report, which show a rise in the number of hate crimes recorded by the police in the last few years \u2014 from about 42,000 in 2012-13 to just over 94,000 in 2017-18.\nIn the last year alone, the number of hate crimes recorded by the police has risen by 17 per cent. The report also notes that there have been \u201cspikes in hate crime following certain events such as the EU Referendum and the terrorist attacks in 2017.\u201d\nWe shouldn\u2019t rely on police records in this case\nBut there\u2019s a big catch. The very same report that Mr Corbyn is citing warns readers: \u201cdata from the police are not suitable for longer-term trends in hate crime.\u201d\nThat\u2019s because \u201cit is known that police recorded crime data have been heavily affected by improvements in crime recording by the police over recent years.\u201d\nIn other words, these statistics do not tell us anything about the actual increase in the number of hate crimes. They only tell us that the police are getting better at recording hate crimes properly.\nThe Home Office report notes that \u201cThe College of Policing provided operational guidance in 2014 to police forces around hate crime, including information on what can be covered by race hate crime.\u201d\nIs there a more reliable measure?\nThere is another way to track this type of offence: the Crime Survey for England and Wales, which is run annually by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).\nThey interview a random sample of 50,000 people across England and Wales and ask whether they have been a victim of crime in the previous 12 months.\nWhen it comes to measuring crimes like sexual offences and hate crimes, statisticians often prefer the Crime Survey to police records.\nThis is partly because, as we\u2019ve seen already, it often takes a cultural or institutional shift for the police to start recording these crimes properly.\nAnd there\u2019s the added benefit that the Crime Survey helps record offences that are never reported to the police. Comparison between the Crime Survey and police records suggests that only half of hate crime incidents between 2015 and 2018 came to the attention of the police.\nThe Office for National Statistics says hate crime has fallen in the last decade\nSo what does the Crime Survey show? Well, it appears to show a significant fall in the number of hate crimes in England and Wales in the last ten years.\nBut before we get into the details, let\u2019s make one thing absolutely clear: the Crime Survey data on hate crimes is far from perfect.\nIt is primarily a measure of the number of people who experience crime. So it doesn\u2019t capture crimes that are \u201cvictimless\u201d, for example public order offences like rioting. This is particularly problematic for hate crimes, where half of those recorded by the police are public order offences.\nThe Office for National Statistics and the Home Office acknowledge that \u201cas the [Crime Survey] is a general household population survey, the number of hate crime incidents and victims estimated in a single survey year is too unreliable to report on.\u201d\nIn other words, the sample size of hate crime victims in a given year is too small to be statistically robust (just 0.3 per cent of adults were the victim of a hate crime in the 12 months prior to the Crime Survey interview).\nTo get round this, the ONS only releases hate crime data every three years, combining the results of three annual surveys and thereby tripling their sample size. For this reason, we can\u2019t really use the Crime Survey to measure short term changes in hate crimes.\nBut even with these caveats in mind, in the view of the ONS and the Home Office, the Crime Survey remains the best available measure of long term changes in the number of hate crimes. Which is the very thing Jeremy Corbyn was talking about in his tweet.\nSo let\u2019s take a look at what this more reliable measure tells us.\nCrime Survey data shows that the number of hate crimes has fallen by 40 per cent in the last decade.\nIn the period 2007-2009, Crime Survey data shows there were about 307,000 hate crimes in England and Wales each year. In the latest reporting period \u2014 2015 to 2018 \u2014 that figure was 184,000.\nSome final thoughts on the graph\u2026\nIt\u2019s just worth pointing out a couple of things about Mr Corbyn\u2019s graph.\nFirst up, the title refers to the UK, but he\u2019s using figures for England and Wales only.\nSecond, the vertical (y) axis begins at 40,000, rather than zero. There are times where it is reasonable to use a compressed y-axis. We don\u2019t think this is one of them. It exaggerates the effect that Mr Corbyn is trying to demonstrate: at first glance, the viewer might reasonably think that we\u2019ve gone from almost no hate crimes in 2013 to nearly 100,000, which is not correct.\nJeremy Corbyn tweeted a graph that purports to show a significant rise in the number of hate crimes in the UK over five years.\nThe data he\u2019s using is from a Home Office report on crime in England and Wales (not the whole UK), which does chart a rise in hate crimes recorded by the police.\nBut the very same report that Mr Corbyn is citing warns readers: \u201cdata from the police are not suitable for longer-term trends in hate crime.\u201d\nThat\u2019s because \u201cit is known that police recorded crime data have been heavily affected by improvements in crime recording by the police over recent years.\u201d So all this data tells us is that the police have got better at recording hate crimes.\nThe Office for National Statistics compiles its own data on hate crimes through the Crime Survey for England and Wales. The ONS figures are far from perfect (they don\u2019t tell us about short-term changes, and they don\u2019t always capture public order offences, which are particularly relevant for hate crimes).\nBut even with these caveats in mind, the ONS and the Home Office consider the Crime Survey to be the best available measure of long term changes in the number of hate crimes. Which is the very thing Jeremy Corbyn was talking about in his tweet.\nThis more reliable ONS data shows a 40 per cent decline in the number of hate crimes in England and Wales over the last decade \u2013 exactly the opposite trend to the one shown in Jeremy Corbyn\u2019s tweet.",

        "title": "My run-in with the man behind Charlotte\u2019s marathon | Charlotte Observer",
        "raw_content": "A. Twenty-six miles, 385 yards.\nQ. What?? Why on earth would someone want to run that distance?\nA. It\u2019s a bucket list thing for a lot of people. It\u2019s something that\u2019s out there that not a lot of normal, regular people will do. But (many runners) see it as kind of this endurance challenge.\nQ. Uh huh. Well anyway, I have a very important appointment on Saturday morning and Providence Road is the best road to take to get there...\nA. No, it\u2019s not. Randolph Road would be probably the best alternative.\nQ. But why can\u2019t you move your marathon to different roads so it\u2019s less bothersome to busy people like me?\nA. Actually, we have planned this route so that we\u2019re more traffic-friendly in the neighborhoods like Myers Park. We try to get through early so we\u2019re not there throughout the later part of the morning and into the afternoon. Mecklenburg police do a really good job of either making sure traffic is diverted before (motorists) hit a pinch point or working them through a pinch point. And we work with the city and neighborhoods to come up with routes that have the least impact on traffic possible.\nQ. OK, but I don\u2019t know any other good ways to get to my appointment, so my plan right now is to just use Providence Road regardless. I assume your marathon runners will all get out of my way when they see me coming, right?\nA. I would make sure you have a backup plan for your appointment. The permit that we have for the city of Charlotte allows runners to have the right of way, regardless of any traffic sign, whether it\u2019s a stop sign or a stoplight. So runners will always have the right of way as long as they\u2019re within the timeline for this race. Unfortunately, until there\u2019s a break in the crowd \u2013 and there\u2019s usually not a break on Providence Road \u2013 you\u2019re probably not going to be able to get through there.\nQ. (Heavy sigh.) It just seems like such a selfish sport. In what other ways is your marathon selfish?\nA. We are actually very community-minded with our business. There are several nonprofits and charitable organizations that we partner with to the produce the marathon. The largest chunk of our charitable donation goes back to Hemby Children\u2019s Hospital.\nQ. Moving on: In the past, I\u2019ve seen people running your marathon that don\u2019t look like they\u2019re in very good shape.\nA. That\u2019s the cool thing about the marathon: People of all shapes and sizes can take this on as a challenge.\nQ. But isn\u2019t your marathon dangerous?\nA. I don\u2019t consider it dangerous. I consider it a challenging event for anyone, no matter how much you\u2019ve trained for it. If you don\u2019t properly train for this event, it\u2019s more dangerous than it is for someone who has properly trained.\nQ. What kind of test do you give to people to make sure they\u2019re properly trained for your marathon?\nA. We don\u2019t have a test, although they do sign a waiver that says that they are physically trained and prepared for this event. And we have the best medical team in the country working this marathon, on the course and at the finish line. They are prepared for medical situations of all kinds, whether it\u2019s an emergency or it\u2019s just somebody that\u2019s a little dehydrated or fell and skinned their knee.\nQ. Have you ever run a marathon?\nA. I have. I\u2019ve run 23 marathons in ... I think it\u2019s 19 states.\nQ. Were they hard?\nA. Yes. Some more than others. I\u2019ve run them in all different conditions and had results that were affected by those conditions. But yeah, they\u2019re all hard and my legs hurt for a couple of days afterwards every time and I get blisters every time. But I think that\u2019s part of the fun of it: You challenge your body to do something out of the ordinary. And it\u2019s inspirational and motivational and spills over into other things that I like to do, too.\nQ. Hmm. I must say: You\u2019ve piqued my interest. Can I get your advice? The furthest I\u2019ve ever run is 3 miles, and that was 10 years ago. But if I took it slow, I could probably finish your marathon on Saturday, right?\nA. I would plan on this: If you\u2019d like to join the fun, run the 5K this year. You\u2019ll have a great time, and that three miles will remind you that you haven\u2019t run for 10 years. You can always come back and start training (next year) ... and run those 3, 4, 5, 6 miles and build up. Then in June, join one of our training classes that will prepare you for the marathon distance \u2013 or the half marathon distance, if you don\u2019t think the marathon distance is something you want to tackle at that point. It really does take a long time to be physically prepared for them.\nYou still can have a fantastic time running the 5K Saturday, and I guarantee your legs will thank you for not running a marathon without training.\n(Full disclosure: Th\u00e9oden Janes has, in fact, run the Thunder Road Marathon three times. He is leading a pace team for the half marathon on Saturday. Contact him at 704-358-5897; Twitter: @theodenjanes.)\nNovant Health Thunder Road Marathon\nThe 11th annual road race features Charlotte\u2019s only marathon, plus a half marathon, a 5K run/walk, a marathon relay (for teams) and a kids\u2019 1 mile fun run. Of the roughly 6,000 people racing Saturday, about 1,200 are entered in the marathon. Races start at 7:30 a.m. Saturday at Romare Bearden Park, 300 S.

        "raw_content": "'Selma' Star David Oyelowo 'Heard God's Voice Tell Me I Was Going to Play Dr. King'\nCP Current Page: Movie | Friday, January 09, 2015\nBy Emma Koonse, Christian Post Reporter | Friday, January 09, 2015\nThe film \"Selma\" hits theaters across the U.S. on Christmas Day, Thursday, December 25, 2014. | (Photo: Facebook/SelmaMovie)\nRising star David Oyelowo, who portrays Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in \"Selma,\" admitted to hearing God calling him to the role several years before it happened.\nIn theaters across the U.S. on Friday, \"Selma\" follows the months of Dr. King's life leading up to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Although the South was desegregated with the Civil Rights Act, discrimination was still rampant, making it nearly impossible for African Americans to register to vote. In the role of Dr. King in the film, Oyelowo's impeccable performance sheds light on the pastor's fight for suffrage despite violent opposition. The actor said that preparation for the enormous role started with hearing God's voice over seven years ago.\n\"This journey started for me in 2007 when I first read the script, and the brutal truth is I felt God tell me that I was going to play this role in this film,\" Oyelowo told The Christian Post. \"That was how it started on the 24th of July, 2007. I heard God tell me that.\"\nThe 38-year-old actor is just one year younger than Dr. King was when the civil rights leader was assassinated almost 50 years ago in Memphis, Tennessee. Furthermore, Oyelowo (pronounced oh-yellow-oh) is from the U.K., and has the accent to prove it. In spite of the odds against him playing King, the \"Lincoln\" star immediately began preparing for the pivotal role in \"Selma.\"\n\"What was so strange about it was I wouldn't pass myself as King in that stage,\" the actor admitted. \"But I know that voice, it guided me through marriage, through my fatherhood and through my career. So what God didn't tell me was that it was going to take seven-and-a-half years, but like David in the Bible, like Moses, and like Jesus ... they knew their calling early on, and then there was a preparation period.\"\nSimilar to Dr. King, Oyelowo is a strong Christian, and portraying the historical icon brought out the true meaning of Scripture in his own life.\n\"The thing I most admire about Dr. King, especially having played him, is that he was a famous orator, so he was famous for his words and talking,\" Oyelowo told CP. \"But what is extraordinary about him is that he wasn't just a talker of the Word, but a doer of the Word. It's one thing to be a Christian and talk of sacrificial love and loving your enemies, following the calling set before you, but it's quite another to walk it out.\"\n\"The Help\" actor went on to cite that Dr. King endured death threats not only for himself, but also for his wife Coretta and their four children, whom King was away from 28 days out of any given month on his campaign for equality.\n\"There are so many times when he could have understandably walked away and said, 'I've had enough, people are bombing my house,' but he never walked away from his calling,\" Oyelowo continued. \"So for me, as a Christian myself, it's made me far more aware of the fact that one can't just talk about this stuff, as in the Bible or in church or in Gospel. You have to walk this thing out. That's when you're truly following your calling.\"\nMeanwhile, the Alabamian city of Selma became Dr. King's battleground for ensuring the right to vote. He used a peaceful protest in the form of an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, which caught the nation's attention and ultimately led to President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.\nOyelowo's performance in \"Selma\" has earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor as well as a BAFTA Award nod. The Ava Duvernay-directed film has also already generated Oscars buzz. Also starring Oprah Winfrey, Common, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Carmen Ejogo, \"Selma\" opens in theaters everywhere on Jan. 9.

        "raw_content": "November 27, 2017 by Cheri Compton\nAmericans for the Arts partnered with 250 local, regional, and statewide organizations that represent the 341 study regions 30 partners included multiple study regions as part of their participation. To complete this customized analysis for the Greater Knoxville Region, the Arts & Culture Alliance of Greater Knoxville joined the study as one of the 250 partners. For the\npurpose of this study, the Greater Knoxville Region is defined as Anderson, Blount, and Knox Counties a multi-county region.\nThe Clayton Center for the Arts is proud to be included in this study. Some of the findings are as follows:\nNonprofit Arts and Cultural Event Attendees Spend an Average of $59.59 Per Person (excluding the cost of admission)\nRevenue Generated to Local Government = $8,398,000\nEvent-Related Spending by Arts and Cultural Audiences Totaled $97.8 million (excluding the cost of admission)\nThere are three key reasons that the Arts & Economic Prosperity series focuses solely on the nonprofit arts and culture sector.\n(1) The findings dispel the myth that the nonprofit arts and culture sector is an economic \u201cblack hole\u201d and provide proof that when people, corporations, foundations, and governments support the nonprofit arts, they are also supporting economic and community development;\n(2) Because nonprofit arts associations are often the recipient of public funding, the availability of valid and accurate economic impact data about the sector is critical; and\n(3) The information necessary to complete an economic impact study is more easily obtained from the nonprofit sector than from the for-profit sector since nonprofit sector data is treated as public information and available through IRS Form 990 filings.\nThe arts are essential to the health and vitality of neighborhoods, cities, states and our nation. They enhance community development, create jobs, spur urban renewal, attract new businesses, draw tourism dollars, and create an environment that attracts skilled and educated workers.\nFor more information on this important study, visit Americans for the Arts\nFiled Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: arts research, economic prosperity\nPreventing Ticket Fraud\nAugust 10, 2017 by Cheri Compton\nHave you ever typed something like this into your search bar \u201cMillion Dollar Quartet Tickets in Maryville TN?\u201d Chances are the top search results were not authorized ticket sellers for The Clayton Center, which means they are charging much more than the face value of each ticket.\nTicket brokers spend a lot of resources to ensure that they come up at the top of your search results. This season we have been working alongside our ticketing partner Etix to put some measures in place to reduce ticket fraud and help you, our patrons, get the best seats possible. Below are some of the new features we have implemented this season:\nDelayed Print at Home Ticketing\nWhen you choose Print at Home for your delivery option you will receive a confirmation e-mail at the time of purchase. Three (3) days prior to the event you will receive another e-mail with a link to download your tickets. Your tickets may be printed or we can scan them from your mobile device.\nZip Code Restrictions\nIf your zip code is outside of a designated radius you will be unable to purchase tickets online and have them delivered via Print at Home. You will be redirected to call the Box Office directly to process your request. This reduces the ability for ticket brokers in other states to purchase online.\nWill Call Only on VIP Packages\nThis year, for example, the Trace Adkins performance has two VIP package options. These are hot sellers on the secondary market. To keep our inventory under control, these tickets are only available to be picked up at Will Call with a photo ID and the credit card used to purchase the tickets. We will not be mailing any VIP packages or allowing Print at Home for these tickets.\nOnline Ticket Limits\nFor orders over 8 tickets please contact the Box Office directly to make your purchase. Our online system is limited to 8 tickets per order to avoid ticket bots and scalper purchases.\nIf you have any questions or concerns about these security measures and how they might affect you please feel free to e-mail boxoffice@claytonartscenter.com or call 865-981-8578. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to sharing a great season with you! Remember, claytonartscenter.com is the correct website address to purchase tickets.\nFiled Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: fraud, ticket scam\nThoughts from Somewhere Just Off-stage \u2013 July 2017 \u2013 Independent Film\nJuly 5, 2017 by Cheri Compton\nI have been busy since my last column. We had a last minute season lineup change due to the unfortunate cancellation of the Circus 1903 Tour. I hope that our fill in of The Illusionists has satisfied our subscribers as an alternative.\nThe other thing that has kept me busy is the final planning for a new program here at the Center this season. The Southern Circuit of Independent Films is coming to the Clayton Center! This opportunity brings 6 different independent film screenings to the Lambert Recital Hall, during the season. It has been interesting and educational working on this new (at least to me) type of programming and I thought I might provide you some insight into what this is all about.\nThe Circuit is coordinated through a group called South Arts, a non-profit, Regional Arts Organization headquartered in Atlanta. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, their mission is to strengthen the South through advancing excellence in the arts, connecting the arts to key state and national policies, and nurturing a vibrant quality of life.\nWorking with 24 \u2013 26 presenters, the staff of South Arts screen over 100 submitted films down to around 40 titles. These films are then provided as choices to 6 \u2013 8 different presenters in 3 different circuits in the southeast region. We are in a circuit that includes many academic institutions in our region such as; Western Carolina, Emory, Auburn and East Tennessee State University, Presbyterian College, and the Winder Arts Center in Georgia\nThe films for our circuit were chosen in collaboration, discussion, and negotiation with our circuit members in Atlanta in May. It is a little like picking players in a fantasy football league, which I must admit, I know nothing about. (remember, I\u2019m an arts person) The participants roll the dice to determine their selection order and then we go through our lists until 6 final films are selected. Once that is accomplished, South Arts arranges the selected films into a tour with screening dates based on availability in each location and viola, we get a final series of 6. Whew!\nWhile I was living and working in Salt Lake City, I had several opportunities to work for and attend the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, recognized as one of the world\u2019s best independent film festivals. I was not really a film buff, but in that heyday of the developing indie film scene, it was fun and exciting to see alternate points of view and especially the breakthroughs in animated films that seemed so prevalent at that time. I must admit that my cultural perspectives were also challenged by the works of many of the filmmakers.\nIf you are new to the concept of Independent film and are wondering if this might be a good fit for your entertainment pallet allow me to share some insights that may be helpful.\nI must credit Sherry B. Ortner, University of California, Los Angeles for providing the best introduction to independent film that I have run across. In her article Against Hollywood, American Independent Film as a Critical Cultural Movement she states- \u201cIndependent filmmakers see themselves as challenging the hegemony of Hollywood, eschewing entertainment\u2014fantasy, pleasure, happy endings\u2014and offering instead harsh and \u201cedgy\u201d stories about life in contemporary society.\u201d\n\u201cWhat then is an independent film? The simplest place to start is to say that an independent film is defined\u2014to varying degrees and in varying ways\u2014as the antithesis of a Hollywood studio film. The contrast can be seen in a variety of relatively objective indicators. Where studio films are very expensive, independent films are made on relatively low budgets; where studio films are in the business of \u201centertainment,\u201d independent films often set out to challenge their viewers with relatively difficult subject matter or techniques or both; where Hollywood films generally eschew taking sides on political issues, independent films are often explicitly political and critical; where Hollywood films are in the business of fantasy and illusion, independent films include virtually all documentary films, and even features are usually highly realist; and finally, where Hollywood films classically have happy endings, independent films rarely do.\u201d\nFor those of you looking for more insights on this, check out the entire article, which can be found online at https://www.haujournal.org/index.php/hau/article/view/hau2.2.002/1004.\nThe other thing to emphasize about our film screenings is that the filmmakers will be joining us each night for post screening talk backs. Patrons will have an opportunity to direct questions to the filmmaker. Don\u2019t worry, if you\u2019re shy about asking questions, we hope to have some locally known folks on hand to moderate and lead us in thought provoking discussions.\nIf you are the \u201ctry it before you buy it\u201d type, then I would suggest you tune in to our local PBS station and check out some of their series that feature independent type films. Programs like PBS Indies, POV and Independent Lens offer a glimpse into this genre.\nAlthough I am not going to share our exact titles with you at this time (I like to build suspense), I will say the six films chosen are very much in line with the description of Indie films above. I am also pleased that two of our films were also chosen to be shown at the Sundance Festival in January. That tells me we are in good company with our choices. Each film will be thought provoking and should evoke a desire for some great conversations following.\nWe will be officially announcing our circuit line up some time in the next month or so, so please keep an eye on your email box or the Clayton Center\u2019s website for more details on the titles, schedule, and information on each film.\nIf you are an Indie film junkie or just someone looking for new ways to experience the arts, I hope you will find an opportunity to join us in this exciting new endeavor.\nFiled Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Independent film\nSunset Cafe Summer Hours\nSunset Caf\u00e9, operated by Rocky\u2019s Jamaica Sunrise\nSummer Hours: 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday to Thursday\nSunset Caf\u00e9 may also be open during Swing Dance and other special events.

I love the changing of the seasons and this is the time we begin to look for spring to show itself. I love the signs of rebirth in the world around us and the anticipation of things to come. I am fortunate to travel to and from Townsend several days a week on my commute and spring beginning to show itself along the way is certainly one of the highlights.\nAnd speaking of anticipation, this is also the time we finalize the line-up for next year\u2019s Clayton Center Season. I am not ready to reveal all the great shows we have lined up because there might still be some last minute changes, but I am excited about how it is coming together.\nI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s just because I skipped lunch today, but I find my mind drifting towards the concept of \u2018seasoning\u2019 the Season. This is a play on the culinary definition of this word. \u201cA mixture of several ingredients which render a dish exquisite\u201d. Chefs will season food to achieve a flavor they consider people will like. Even a tiny pinch of salt will actually improve and intensify food flavors. This is what seasoning is about \u2013 tasting and tweaking \u2013 or fine tuning to bring out the best in the food. I would say it also applies to choosing performers for the upcoming year.\nJust what shows do we combine to make next year exquisite and appealing? A dash of music or even two, a pinch of theatre, maybe something funny and of course a little dance just \u2018cause Mamma did. All these \u2018flavorings\u2019 are at our disposal to be added in just the right amounts. What about those exotic flavors of other lands, international programs? Yes, of course we will have them. Will our artistic palette embrace their unique flavors? I know mine will.\nI think the definition that really suits me the best at this moment is \u201cTo add quality or features to something (our CCA Season, in this case) to make it more lively or exciting\u201d.\nOn a more practical note, planning a cohesive season takes a fair portion of my time and focus, especially during this time of year. I believe the Clayton Center Season should represent a variety of performing genres. Ideally, we would also try to find at least one performer to join us each month from September through May just to make sure you don\u2019t forget how to find us. This currently adds up to a total season of 10 events.\nI typically start by dividing all the possibilities into the 4 basic areas. Music, Theatre, Dance and other. These are then sub-divided down even further. Different types of music, (contemporary, country, bluegrass, Americana, classical, jazz, international) musical theatre, straight plays, comedy, variety, family shows, contemporary or ethnic dance are some of these divisions. Much like our seasons and our tastes, we look for offerings that pique our artistic palette and offer new and exciting interests to explore.\nWe have some fun shows lined up. A few you won\u2019t see anywhere else close. I know we have done our Chef\u2019s best to put together a well-seasoned package of performing arts. I believe it is not only the individual shows that make it exciting, but also the blend of offerings that make the sum greater than its individual pieces. Exquisite? I\u2019d like to think so and hope our patrons do as well.\nI am counting the days until we gather our sponsors, patrons, and existing subscribers together on May 11 to reveal the bounty of programming we have chosen. Don\u2019t worry, if you\u2019re not one of those groups, the entire line-up will be announced to everyone in the days following that event.\nIf you are interested in learning how we bring all these tastes and seasons together for you, stay tuned for next month\u2019s post. I will give insight on how we actually book our season and what goes into dealing with agents and artists. It takes a pinch of interest, a dash of patience, a smidge of negotiation and a piece of the budget to make it all come together.\nNo matter what your tastes, we know there is a show for you and hope you will explore the ways in which the arts can \u201cseason\u201d your life.\nFiled Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: season",

        "raw_content": "Used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called PDE5 inhibitors. These drugs prevent an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type-5 from working too fast. In turn, this makes it easier to get and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation. Note that any patients suffering from cardiovascular disease should consult a physician before using this treatment or related medicines.\n4 tablets (\u00a32.50 per tablet) \u00a39.99\nWhy choose Sildenafil?\nED can be a distressing problem and it may have a negative impact on your self-esteem and your relationships. Sildenafil offers a reliable and effective treatment. It contains the same active ingredient as Viagra (sildenafil citrate), but it is a cheaper alternative. The drug is effective within one hour and its positive effects can last for up to six hours.\nThe treatment comes in tablet form and you should never take more than one within a 24-hour period. For further information on dosages, you can speak to your doctor or consult one of our knowledgeable healthcare professionals at Click.\nHow should I take Sildenafil?\nThe drug usually works best when taken an hour before sexual activity. It is most effective when consumed on an empty stomach and without alcohol, and it can carry on working for between four and six hours.\nThe medicine works by relaxing the muscles in the veins that carry blood to the penis. By doing this, it promotes increased blood flow, making it possible to get an erection during sexual excitation. Contrary to popular belief, the treatment does not cause spontaneous erections or have any effect on your sexual desire. You must be sexually aroused to get an erection using Sildenafil.\nIt is important to be aware that PDE5 inhibitors do not treat the underlying causes of ED, which can include physical problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure, and psychological issues like anxiety and depression. Because of this, it is important to seek medical advice to find out why you are experiencing ED.\nWhat are the side effects of Sildenafil?\nAs with all medicines, there are potential side effects to consider. The most common include headaches, heartburn, flushed skin, nasal congestion, indigestion, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Also, note that the treatment should never be taken with nitrates because it can cause a serious and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure. For further information on these issues, you can contact your doctor or consult our specialists.",

(Nasdaq:MKTX), the operator of a leading electronic trading platform for fixed-income securities, and the provider of market data and post-trade services for the global fixed-income markets, today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.\n\"Fourth quarter and full year earnings results show continued strong growth, driven by an acceleration of market share gains across core products. The expansion of our liquidity pool through all-to-all Open Trading is further reducing transaction costs for our clients, fueling rapid growth in electronic order flow,\u201d said Richard M. McVey, Chairman and CEO of MarketAxess. \u201cWe are actively investing to expand the global credit products available for trading on our market leading technology platform.\u201d\nTotal revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 9.2% to $76.6 million, compared to $70.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Pre-tax income was $37.0 million, compared to $33.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 10.4%. Pre-tax margin was 48.3%, compared to 47.7% for the fourth quarter of 2014. Net income totaled $24.5 million, or $0.65 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $21.6 million, or $0.57 per share for the fourth quarter of 2014.\nCommission revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 12.0% to a record $67.6 million, compared to $60.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 principally due to growth in variable transaction fees. Variable transaction fees increased 16.3% to $51.3 million on total trading volume of $250.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to variable transaction fees of $44.1 million on total trading volume of $211.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014. U.S. high-grade trading volume as a percentage of FINRA\u2019s high-grade TRACE trading volume increased to an estimated 17.6% on an adjusted basis, compared to an estimated 16.1% for the fourth quarter of 2014. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items below for further information on FINRA TRACE volume and U.S. high-grade market share.\nAll other revenue, which consists of information and post-trade services, technology products and services, investment income and other revenue, decreased to $9.0 million, compared to $9.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Lower technology-related professional consulting services fees and the unfavorable impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar accounted for the decline in all other revenue.\nTotal expenses for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased 8.1% to $39.7 million, compared to $36.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase in total expenses was principally due to higher employee compensation and benefits costs of $1.7 million and clearing costs of $0.6 million.\nThe effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2015 was 33.8%, compared to 35.4% for the fourth quarter of 2014. The lower effective tax rate was principally due to a shift in income to lower tax jurisdictions and a reduction in statutory foreign and state tax rates. Similar to the fourth quarter of 2014, the income tax provision for the fourth quarter of 2015 includes a benefit for certain tax credits amounting to approximately $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.\nEmployee headcount was 342 as of December 31, 2015, compared to 303 as of December 31, 2014.\nTotal revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased 15.3% to a record $303.1 million, compared to $262.8 million for 2014. Pre-tax income was a record $147.9 million, compared to $118.5 million for 2014, an increase of 24.8%. Pre-tax margin was 48.8%, compared to 45.1% for 2014. Net income totaled $96.0 million, or $2.55 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $74.8 million, or $1.97 per share for 2014.\nCommission revenue for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased 20.4% to a record $266.2 million, compared to $221.1 million for 2014 principally due to growth in variable transaction fees. Variable transaction fees increased 28.8% to $201.3 million on total trading volume of $978.5 billion, compared to variable transaction fees of $156.2 million on total trading volume of $767.0 billion for 2014. U.S. high-grade trading volume as a percentage of FINRA\u2019s high-grade TRACE trading volume increased to an estimated 16.8% in 2015 on an adjusted basis, compared to an estimated 14.5% in 2014. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items below for further information on FINRA TRACE volume and U.S. high-grade market share.\nAll other revenue decreased 11.4% to $36.9 million in 2015, compared to $41.6 million for 2014. Lower technology-related professional consulting services fees and the unfavorable impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar accounted for the decline in all other revenue.\nTotal expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 increased 7.6% to $155.2 million, compared to $144.2 million for 2014. The increase in total expenses was principally due to higher employee compensation and benefits costs of $8.9 million resulting from an increase in incentive and stock-based compensation costs and employee headcount.\nCapital spending for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $15.4 million compared to $14.8 million in 2014.\nThe effective tax rate for 2015 was 35.1%, compared to 36.9% for 2014. The lower effective tax rate was principally due to a shift in income to lower tax jurisdictions and a reduction in statutory foreign and state tax rates.\nThe Company\u2019s board of directors declared a 30% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.26 per share of common stock outstanding, to be paid on February 25, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 11, 2016.\nA total of 32,700 shares were repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2015 at a cost of $3.1 million under the Company\u2019s existing share repurchase program, which expires on February 29, 2016. In January 2016, the Company\u2019s board of directors authorized a new two-year $25.0 million share repurchase program.\nAs of December 31, 2015, total assets were $439.0 million and included $284.4 million in cash, cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale. Total stockholders\u2019 equity as of December 31, 2015 was $390.7 million.\nThe Company expects total expenses for 2016 to be in the range of $168.0 million to $176.0 million and its capital spending for 2016 to be in the range of $18.0 million to $22.0 million. The Company also anticipates that the overall effective tax rate for 2016 will be between 34% and 36%.\nNon-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Items\nTo supplement the Company\u2019s unaudited financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d), the Company uses certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance, including earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (\u201cEBITDA\u201d). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken into consideration with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, are important in understanding the Company's operating results. See the attached schedule for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA.\nFor purposes of calculating U.S. high-grade estimated market share, FINRA TRACE volumes have been adjusted to eliminate the increased reporting of affiliate back-to-back trade to FINRA beginning in April 2015 and the inclusion of 144A securities beginning in July 2015. Based on information provided by FINRA, the Company believes that the adjusted FINRA TRACE volumes provide a more accurate comparison to prior period reporting. The Company has provided a reconciliation of U.S. high-grade TRACE volumes to the adjusted U.S. high-grade TRACE volumes on the \u201cInvestor Relations-Volume\u201d section of its website.\nRichard M. McVey, chairman and chief executive officer, and Antonio L.

        "raw_content": "Banks Fight Mortgage Principal Reduction\nPublished 12:58 PM ET Thu, 31 March 2011 Updated 11:52 AM ET Wed, 13 April 2011 CNBC.com\nAt the end of a day-long negotiation session over the foreclosure paperwork mess at the Department of Justice, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller and Associate Attorney General Thomas Perrelli came out for a brief chat with reporters.\nThey essentially said nothing.\nMiller: \"We had a good first meeting with the banking and servicer industry- emphasis on good and first. It was a first meeting, it was a breaking of the ice, and that takes some time and is part of the process. The discussion was good\u2014I think it was on a good level, given the exchange of ideas and rationale and principles. I think we have a long way to go\u2014again emphasis on first meeting.\"\nPerrelli: \"Tom Miller is a fantastic partner, we\u2019re lucky to be working together. I\u2019ll echo what Tom said, I think it was a very productive first meeting, with serious discussion of a wide range of challenges and problems in the mortgage servicing industry.\"\nThe banks weren't talking, at least the representatives in the meeting weren't talking, nor were their spokespeople. But big bank executives have been commenting on the biggest sticking point in a potential settlement over foreclosure practices: Principal reduction.\nSome of the State AGs, including the lead on the investigation, Miller, as well as federal regulators and administration officials appear to be looking toward principal forgiveness as the punishment the banks should pay. But as recently as last night, JP Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon told reporters, \"Yeah, that's off the table.\"\nThis morning the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) put out their quarterly \"Mortgage Metrics Report\" for Q4. It showed just 2.7 percent of modification made in the quarter by national banks and federal thrifts (that includes Fannie and Freddie) included any principal reduction. The banks did the vast majority of the reduction with Fannie and Freddie doing none. But principal reduction fell dramatically, over 60 percent from year ago as a modification tool, meaning banks are less and less inclined to do it.\nI'm not exactly sure what will come out of these endless \"negotiations\" over the so-called \"robo-signing\" scandal, other than the banks trying to push foreclosures through and out of the system before any penalties come down the pike. The longer the negotiations drag on, the better for the banks and the worse for consumers. Federal regulators may come out with something sooner, given that they are less worried about the political ramifications of what they do than the state attorneys general.",

        "raw_content": "Payday 2 Co-Op Review\nReview 8/16/2013 at 12:00 AM by Locke Vincent\nGet Money, Get Paid.\nPayday 2 is what little kids dream of when they play cops and robbers. It is a criminal mastermind\u2019s bank robbery fantasy come to life in the form of a four player co-op shooter.\nFeaturing the original cast from Payday; Dallas, Hoxton, Chains and Wolf embark on another set of jobs to fulfill their insatiable lust for that paper. Overkill has pulled out all the punches and crammed everything they could into Payday 2, leaving players with a beautifully crafted crime simulator that will have everyone clamoring to pull off the perfect job.\nTo find jobs in Payday 2, Overkill has introduced Crime-Net which is their online matchmaking system for crooks to group up. Thematically it looks and feels like a hacker\u2019s dream with different jobs populating an interactive digital map. The job name, difficulty, pay, and objectives are all displayed when selecting a particular mission. The map will also display how many players are currently in the lobby for that mission, and anyone is welcome to join since there is near-seamless drop in/drop out co-op. If a group of friends are looking to play on their own, the host can disable drop-in and the crew can play in peace. The beauty of Crime-Net is that it feels like a living, breathing criminal underworld. The downside is that if the host is wanting to pull a particular job and it is not available, the group may be waiting a couple minutes for it to appear on the map.\nMissions can be done alone, with AI filling in for teammates but be warned: the AI will not fulfill objectives. They won\u2019t carry bags, pick locks, or even tie up hostages. For some reason the AI will go out of its way to save a human player\u2019s life but can\u2019t fix a drill when it breaks down. What it comes down to is that Payday 2 is a tried and true co-op experience, so people please play with friends.\nOnce a mission is selected players are free to outfit themselves with a variety of weapons, gadgets, and armor before heading out to do crime. The missions have a large variety when compared to the original Payday\u2019s six missions. Lower difficulty jobs involve knocking off jewelry stores or small shops and work their way up to multi-day bank heists and transporting drugs for the cartel. The more involved jobs will have several different locations and increase in complexity. For example, if the second day of the mission goes sour the crew may find themselves having to take a detour and end up in a location that wasn\u2019t in the original plan. The objectives may change halfway through the mission and it is up to the group to coordinate and figure out contingency plans on the fly. While mission variety is an awesome upgrade to Payday 2, maps are recycled quite often, so do not be surprised if the same bank has to be robbed multiple times over the course of a session.\nSnag PayDay 2 On Steam for Free\nPlayStation 4 Version of PAYDAY 2 Receives Free Content, Paid DLC\nPAYDAY 2: Crimewave Edition - PlayStation 4 Giveaway",

There will be no refunds due for members who wish to change their status from \u201cpractising\u201d to \u201cnon-practising.\u201d\n4. Members who wish to change their status from \u201cnon-practising\u201d to \u201cpractising\u201d after January 16, 2017 will be charged an administrative fee as described above, in addition to a pro-rated portion of 50% of a full practising member annual fee.\n5. If the request by the member to change status from \u201cnon-practising\u201d to \u201cpractising\u201d was received by the College before or on the 15th day of the month, the pro-rated portion of 50% of a full practising member annual fee would include the month that the request was received. If the request by the member was received by the College after the 15th day of the month, the pro-rated portion of 50% of a full practising member annual fee would not include the month the request was received.

While the College discourages new applicants from initial registration as non-practising status, it is allowed for newly registered members to secure a practice location following registration. For those new members who initially register as non-practising, the College encourages them to secure a practice location within a maximum six months to change their status to \u201cpractising.\u201d\n8. Newly registered members who were registered as \u201cnon-practising\u201d prior to the 2017 membership renewal period and who have been members of the College less than one full year by Jan. 1, 2017, will have until June 30, 2017 to have their status changed to \u201cpractising\u201d after first satisfying the College\u201ds requirements for changing status unless they submit proof to the College that they are currently practising in other Canadian provinces, in which case they would be permitted to remain \u201cnon-practising.\u201d\n9.

        "raw_content": "Volante, Ipex merger approved\nBrett Winterford (ARN)\nVolante shareholders have voted in favour of a merger with IT services company, Ipex, which will result in the formation of one of Australia\u2019s largest IT services organisations.\nVolante Group chief executive officer, Allan Brackin, said he was chuffed to see about 98 per cent of Volante shareholders vote in favour of the merger.\nThe $70 million deal will see the two companies merge to form an IT services company with 850 staff and more than $450 million in annual revenue.\nBrackin said that this would make Volante the largest domestic IT services provider in terms of revenue, sitting just behind fellow ASX-listed company, KAZ, in terms of market capitalisation.\nBrackin will remain CEO of the consolidated entity. Volante\u2019s Hugh Bickerstaff will be managing director of the Volante Systems business, the largest business within the group. Several Ipex directors, however, will join the board and will wield significant voting power.\nThe company hopes to have merged the sales offices in every State by March, allocated new management teams by April, and integrated all IT systems by July. \u201cThe integration is not a difficult process considering our experience,\u201d Brackin said. \u201cIt will be a lot easier than the AAG/Volante merger because there is no conflict in the sales environment.\u201d\nHe reiterated to shareholders the rationale behind the merger.\n\u201cWe aim to build the services business \u2013 it is the services business that pulls in the product sales,\u201d Brackin said.",

Oh yeah, and Facebook is the No. 3 site for Americans 65 and older (smart grandparents). All this is according to Nielsen\u2019s Fact Sheet 2010. As for general Internet use (not just the social part), Nielsen says there are about 195 million active users in the US, 160.3 million of them broadband users. It says broadband penetration was 93.3% at the end of last year, up 16% from 2008. Pew/Internet, however, just released some more conservative numbers showing that \u201c74% of American adults (ages 18 and older) use the Internet \u2013 a slight drop from our survey in April 2009, which did not include Spanish interviews. The breakdowns for Net use by age and ethnicity, respectively, are: 18-29 (93%); 30-49 (81%); 50-64 (70%); and 65+ (38%); and white, non-Hispanic (76%); black, non-Hispanic (59%); and Hispanic, English- and Spanish-speaking (55%).

        "title": "Is Smartphone Insurance Worth Buying? - Consumer Reports",
        "raw_content": "Coverage costs and plan parameters vary widely. Here, CR's guide to making a smart decision.\nIt can happen in an instant. You\u2019re walking down the street and decide to make a call. A passing pedestrian bumps your arm and your smartphone slips from your hand. You watch helplessly as it tumbles, as if in slow motion, toward the hard concrete. You brace for the crash and pray you get lucky. Not this time, as your touch screen becomes a spiderweb of cracks.\nYou try to recall whether you bought insurance or an extended care plan.\nIf you\u2019re not covered in some way, the cost to fix a cracked screen, the most common repair, is $277, on average, for a Samsung S8+, according to AGiRepair, a company that provides wireless device repair parts to businesses. If your power button goes kaput, it could cost over $90. And if your phone can\u2019t be fixed or it\u2019s lost or stolen, you have to buy a new one, and that could set you back $840 to $1,149 for a top-of-the-line Galaxy S9+ or iPhone X.\nWith numbers like that, insuring your smartphone for repair or replacement might seem like a good idea, especially when premiums can be as low as $7 to $36 per month. But while that sounds great, it\u2019s not that simple. For each claim you file, you\u2019ll pay a deductible that could run anywhere from $29 to $225. Most insurance companies limit the number of claims you can file to two or three a year. And your insurer might send you a refurbished phone rather than a new model if a replacement phone is what you need.\nUsing iPhone Screen Replacement Kits\n5 Great Smartphones Not Made by Apple or Samsung\nFabulous Phablets: Best Large-Screen Smartphones\nSmartphone & Cell-Phone Plan Ratings\nIn many cases, you have to make the decision whether to insure quickly because some plans are available for only two to four weeks after you buy a smartphone.\n\u201cCell-phone insurance is really confusing,\u201d says Logan Abbott, president of Wirefly, a website that compares cell-phone plans. \u201cSome carriers offer three or four plans with different levels of coverage, deductibles, and limits. It\u2019s hard for people to know when it\u2019s worth paying 15 bucks a month for a plan, and if so, what it should cover.\u201d\nDriving the repair rates are easy-to-break LCDs and touch screens, and very thin covers, according to a December 2017 report by market research company IbisWorld. Some newer phones are also costlier than ever to fix because they have a glass back or curved glass front.\nYour smartphone tends to travel with you everywhere, so it\u2019s exposed to all sorts of potential problems. In a 2016 Consumer Reports survey about smartphone mishaps, a respondent reported accidentally drowning his phone in a washing machine. Another ran one over a phone with a car. Then there was the phone that a pit bull used as a chew toy.\nIn the survey (which involved more than 5,200 people with at least one smartphone in their household), about 50 percent of respondents reported at least one major smartphone fiasco during the previous 24 months. (Ten percent had three or four incidents. An especially unlucky 9 percent had five or more.)\nSo given those odds and the cost, how do you decide whether some sort of insurance or extended warranty plan is right for you?\nYou have lots of choices to wade through. All programs have a bunch of limitations and restrictions, so you need to read the terms and conditions carefully.\nHere, we review your smartphone insurance options (plans from manufacturers, cell-phone carriers, and independent operators), the kind of coverage you\u2019ll need (including an interactive tool that explains what you get with coverage plans), and alternatives to smartphone insurance.\nWhat It Costs to Fix Common Smartphone Problems\nSource: Repair estimates are based on average repair costs, when applicable, provided by AGiRepair, a company that provides mobile device repair parts.\nManufacturer Smartphone Insurance Plans\nApple and Samsung, the two largest phone manufacturers, sell their own coverage.\nEvery iPhone comes with a standard one-year warranty from Apple and 90 days of tech support. Adding AppleCare+, which you must purchase within 60 days of buying your smartphone, extends the warranty for hardware and covers accidental damage for up to two years for the iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPhone 6s Plus for $149; it costs $199 for an iPhone X. For the fee, Apple covers up to two incidents of damage, such as a cracked screen, and adds another year of protection for mechanical failures. The plans don\u2019t cover loss or theft. You\u2019ll have to pay a $29 deductible to fix screen damage and $99 for other types of damage, plus tax. Repairs can be done at an Apple store, at an authorized dealer, or by mail.\nSamsung Premium Care\nThis covers the latest Samsung smartphones, including the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S9, and Galaxy S9+, for $12 per month. You can sign up at the time of purchase for the S9 family of phones and anytime for the other phones. You can cancel anytime. Samsung Premium Care extends the phone\u2019s original one-year warranty for as long as you pay for the policy and covers accidental damage including drops, liquid spills, and cracked screens. You\u2019ll pay a $99 deductible for a repair. You can get up to three replacements each year for each smartphone you insure. Premium Care doesn\u2019t protect your smartphone if it\u2019s lost or stolen.\nCell-Phone Carrier Smartphone Insurance Plans\nMost cell-phone carriers also offer pure insurance products that cover loss and theft. The plans are generally in effect as long as you keep paying the monthly fee. AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon sell coverage provided by insurance company Asurion; T-Mobile\u2019s plan is run by Assurant. You can find more details below.\nAT&T Offers Three Smartphone Insurance Plans\nThe top tier, the Multi-Device Protection Pack, costs $35 and covers three devices. The Mobile Protection Pack costs $12 per month per phone. Both cover device malfunctions, loss, theft, and damage, as well as tech support. If you don\u2019t care about tech support, a $9 plan offers the same protection.\nSprint Offers Various Smartphone Insurance Plans Based on Your Device\nMore expensive phones, not surprisingly, cost more to insure and incur higher deductibles. For example, a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and an LG Viper are in the group that costs the least, $9 per month. Coverage for the Apple iPhone 8 and Samsung phones costs $13 per month. It costs $17 to cover an iPhone X. The plan covers device malfunctions, damage, loss, and theft.\nT-Mobile Provides Three Levels of Smartphone Insurance Coverage\nThe least expensive plan costs $7 to $10 per month, depending on your device, and includes protection against malfunctions, damage, loss, and theft. T-Mobile also offers an enhanced protection package for $9 to $12 per month that includes the Lookout Mobile Security Premium. A plan for $12 to $15 per month adds tech support. If you\u2019re already enrolled in T-Mobile\u2019s Jump program ($9 to $12 per month), which lets you upgrade your phone once you\u2019ve paid off 50 percent of its cost, a premium level of insurance is included if your phone is lost or stolen.\nVerizon Also Has Three Smartphone Insurance Plans\nIts Wireless Phone Protection Plan covers a device in the event it is damaged, lost or stolen for $6.75 per month for smartphones ($3 for basic devices); you can receive up to three replacement phones per year. Total Mobile Protection, Verizon\u2019s most comprehensive coverage, adds tech support for $13 per month for smartphones ($10 for basic devices). For account level coverage for up to 10 lines, there is Total Mobile Protection Multi-Device, which provides all of the benefits of Total Mobile Protection for $39 per month (for 3 lines). Additional Coverage is available for $9.00 per line for each additional line up to 7 lines, and the account shares nine claims per year.\nSome insurers provide cell-phone coverage directly to consumers. One of the largest, SquareTrade, offers a one-year plan for $89, a two-year plan for $129, or $159 for three. All claims are subject to a $99 deductible (except for select mobile screen repairs in select markets that have an in-home repair option with a $25 deductible). The company covers only damage, not loss or theft. In the event that your phone is damaged beyond repair, SquareTrade will pay you the value of the phone or provide a replacement.\nWhat Coverage Will You Need?\nThis is a difficult question to answer because it really depends on you and your family. About half of CR survey respondents said no one in their household had a damaged, lost, or stolen phone in the previous two years. If you think you\u2019re likely to be in that group, you might think it safe to skip a plan. But if you have a smartphone mishap, you\u2019ll pay out of pocket. \u201cIf you have enough in an emergency fund to comfortably carry a $500 or $1,000 deductible on your homeowners insurance, then you can likely also afford to pay for a damaged or replacement phone,\u201d says Robert Hunter, director of insurance for the nonprofit Consumer Federation of America and a former commissioner of insurance for Texas.\nIf you have children 12 or younger, a plan that covers damage, loss, and theft might save you some headaches. In our survey, 81 percent of people with a smartphone and young children at home said at least one phone had been lost in the previous two years. More than a quarter of that group said they\u2019d had more than five phones lost, stolen, or damaged in the previous two years.\nTo get an idea about how much, if anything, you\u2019d save with insurance in your own situation, consider these potential scenarios. Say you have T-Mobile\u2019s Premium Device Protection with Apple Care+ for your iPhone 8. If, over two years, you need only one screen repair, the coverage could cost you about $170 more than you would pay to have the phone repaired. However, if you need a screen repair, then lose your phone, then break the screen again in the first two years, the plan could save you up to $415, depending on when the accidents occur.\nIf you need those same three repairs on your Galaxy S8+ and you have AT&T\u2019s Mobile Protection Pack, you could save as much as $670 in two years over what you would spend without coverage. But if you need just a screen repair, the plan could cost you about $60 more than having no insurance at all. And of course, if you don\u2019t have any problems with your phone, you\u2019re out the total cost of the coverage. In that case, a hard case for your phone would have been your best insurance.\nWhat You Get With Various Coverage Options\nWe chose the least expensive insurance coverage for a single 64GB iPhone 8 and a Samsung S8+, excluding free-upgrade plans, extended warranties, and multiple-device plans.\nPlans At A Glance\nAppleCare+ Samsung\nPremium Care AT&T\nMobile Insurance Sprint\nProtection Plus T-Mobile\nDevice Protection Verizon\nWireless Phone Protection Square\n[1] $12\nfor one year $120\nfor one year $81\nReplacement Phone Deductible\n($0 for mechanical failures) $112-$225 [2] $225\nfor Galaxy S8+ $175 $149\nfor Galaxy S8+ $99\nScreen Repair Deductible\n$29 $99 For Samsung S8+, $49.

[3] Apple iPhone 8 screen repair available in coming months. [4] There is no other repair for connected devices except for cracked screen repair. Customers whose eligible phones have damage beyond a cracked screen will receive a replacement phone and be charged a replacement deductible. [5] Consumers with AppleCare+ can make three claims, two in 24 months for accidental damage, and unlimited warranty claims at no charge. Those with a Samsung S8+ can make three claims within 12 months for all perils.\nAre There Alternatives to Smartphone Insurance?\nYes, you have several.\n1. Buying your phone with a credit card that extends warranties is an option. Some American Express, Mastercard, and Visa cards offer free extended warranties for products purchased with their cards. (Discover recently eliminated this perk.) These often add up to an extra year to the warranty that came with your phone. You\u2019ll probably have to provide proof of purchase, and there are some exclusions. Your card may also cover damage or theft for 90 days after purchase. Check your card\u2019s terms and conditions.\nAlso, if you pay your phone bill with a credit card, your credit card company may offer some protection. Chase Ink Business Preferred, for example, covers damage and theft. There are limitations, including a $100 deductible per claim and a maximum of three claims per 12-month period, plus a maximum benefit of $600 per claim and $1,800 total in any 12-month period. Wells Fargo includes cell-phone protection if you use its credit card to pay your monthly cell-phone bill. If a cell phone is stolen or damaged and you\u2019ve exhausted any other cell-phone insurance plan that you hold (i.e., homeowners, renters, automobile), you can request the original purchase price of your phone up to a maximum benefit of $600 per claim (subject to a $25 deductible). These cards don\u2019t cover lost phones, and there\u2019s a maximum of two claims (up to $1,200) per 12-month period.\n2. Check your homeowners policy. You may be able to cover your phone or pay a bit more to do so, which might run you about $25 for an additional $1,000 in coverage. Ask your insurer whether your plan can cover cell phones. If so, ask whether any deductible applies and how it will affect your policy if you need to make a claim (or two or more), plus what kind of damage or loss is covered. It may only include perils currently covered in your plan, such as damage from fire or theft.\n3. Pay yourself the monthly insurance cost. Add the cost of a plan each year into an emergency fund. (See above: What You Get With Various Coverage Options.) Then you can use that small cushion if you need to replace or repair your phone.\n4. Use local repair shops. Many familiar retailers, such as Best Buy (select stores) and Office Depot, repair smartphones, as do national repair chains like uBreakiFix. Refer to the chart of average common repair costs to get an idea of what you might pay, then compare prices from shops near you. Make sure anyone you use offers a warranty on the work in writing.\n5. Fix the phone yourself. If you\u2019re handy, you may be able to take care of some repairs. iFixit has free step-by-step repair manuals for many Android and Apple phones, plus lists of all the tools you need. Also see this do-it-yourself repair using iPhone screen replacement kits, which includes a video.\nEditor\u2019s Note: This article has been updated to reflect new pricing provided by Asurion, Verizon's insurance provider, and to give additional information about the company's smartphone insurance plans.

        "raw_content": "Business impacts of security breaches highlighted by new survey\nResearch conducted on behalf of payment security specialists PCI Pal has found that 41 percent of UK consumers will never return to a brand or a business following a security breach, representing a significant loss of revenue. Additionally, 44 percent will stop spending with a business or brand for several months in the immediate aftermath of a security breach.\nThe findings suggest that the combination of high-profile recent breaches, headlines devoted to new data privacy regulations such as the GDPR, and personal experience have put security concerns at the forefront for UK consumers. Over a third (38 percent) confirmed they have personally suffered the negative consequences of a data security breach.\nMeanwhile, consumers reported that even being perceived as having insecure data practices can be enough to incur spending penalties: 31 percent said that they spend less with brands they perceive to have insecure data practices, while over a quarter (26 percent) say they stop spending completely if they don\u2019t trust a company with their data.\n\u201cWhile security breaches are not new, consumers\u2019 attitudes towards them appear to be changing significantly, with the vast majority of those surveyed now reporting that trust in security practices, or lack thereof, influences not just where but also how, and how much they are prepared to spend,\u201d explained James Barham, CEO at PCI Pal.\nThe findings suggest that it\u2019s not just online threats that worry consumers \u2013 with 76 percent uncomfortable with providing payment information, such as credit card details, over the phone. Specifically, almost a third (32 percent) said they would hang up and find an alternative payment option, while nearly a quarter (24 percent) would ask for an online payment option and a further fifth (20 percent) would enquire as to how the data is being captured and whether it is safe.\nInterestingly, when looking at the research findings by age group, 41 percent of those aged 18-24 said they would give their payment information over the phone with no questions asked, compared to just 14 percent of those aged 55-65.\nBarham continues: \u201cWhat\u2019s really interesting is how consumers are increasingly questioning data security practices. Nearly half of those surveyed know they should check a company\u2019s security processes and 22 percent said they question businesses directly or research how an organisation safeguards consumer data. This suggests a real change in how consumers prioritise privacy and security. This should act as a real wake-up call to consumer-facing brands: they need to adopt stronger security practices, especially for those operating contact centres where payments are handled over the phone if they want to keep customers loyal and spending with them.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Why There Is Listeria in Frozen Waffles (and Why You Shouldn't Get Too Worked Up About It)\nAriannaGiuntini / Getty\nListeria, a bacterium we've become all too familiar with, is making news again because of more food recalls. Recalls can be scary, but this rare bacterium might not be as big of a threat to our food supply as you may think\u2014despite the headlines. Learn more about how foods come into contact with listeria and what you can do to prevent illness from it.\nIt seems like almost every other week we hear about another food recall because of the bacterium Listeria. Famous cases, including names like Blue Bell and General Mills, are a seemingly common news story. The latest addition to the recall list is Kellogg's, who just announced a voluntary recall of 10,000 cases of Eggo Nutri-Grain Whole Wheat Waffles. Although there's cause for concern, there's less to worry about than you might think.\nListeria is a bacterium that can exist in water, soil, and on some animals. It's unique due to its ability to survive extremely cold temperatures, but it can be killed by cooking and pasteurization. It isn't constrained to contaminating one certain type of food; the last few recalls have involved ice cream, frozen vegetables, and flour. It has also been known to be in other products like certain meats or unpasteurized dairy.\nAlthough it has been a commonplace health scare in the recent months, Listeria is still a very rare bacteria to contract. Food companies are constantly testing their facilities and products for possible contamination, which is exactly how Kellogg's discovered their possible contamination in their frozen waffles.\nSince flour is not heat treated before it's bagged and put on store shelves, any Listeria contamination can live on. Other foods, which are often frozen to kill bacteria, can contain Listeria because of its ability to survive in extreme temperatures. Despite these ways that Listeria occasionally slips by inspectors and food companies, it's still a very rare bacteria to find in the food supply.\nFamiliarize yourself with the facts about Listeria and what foods it is more common in.\nDon't eat anything uncooked or undercooked that could possibly contain listeria\u2014especially if you're pregnant. This includes deli meats, sprouts, raw cookie dough, and more.\nKeep up to date on current recalls by signing up for recall alerts from the FDA.\nIf in doubt, toss out any items that might contain the bacteria (from the recall list), and follow the rest of our Food Recall Guide.",

        "raw_content": "The MP visited New Line Learning in Loose to see the Gateway \u2013 a new provision for children who potentially could face exclusion \u2013 set up by the Future Schools Trust.\nThe Gateway, on the Boughton Lane campus, is designed to be an early intervention provision, allowing students to remain within mainstream education, while developing their individual skills specifically geared towards concerns raised by their host schools.\nThe Gateway only opened in September but it has already had a remarkable success in retaining students in school at a time when the number of children being excluded from schools nationwide is on the increase.\nIt caters for students from Future Schools Trust\u2019s two academies \u2013 New Line Learning and Cornwallis - who have complex difficulties, which have led to disruption in the classroom. In the past, many of these would have been sent to a pupil referral unit or provision away from the school campus \u2013 often, never to return.\nThe Government\u2019s select committee is currently looking at the effectiveness of such pupil referral units in comparison with in-house provision like the Gateway, which the MP applauded for its innovative approach.\nShe was shown around by Head of Gateway James Graham and FST\u2019s Acting Head of Business Operations Ari Kotsis, where she met staff and looked around the Gateway, including their joinery and construction unit.\nFollowing the visit, she said: \u201cFrom my tour of the Gateway and my talks with the Head James Graham and it is clear The Gateway is getting results for young people with complex barriers to learning.\n\u201cDaily liaison with parents at home is a cornerstone of the service which seems to be well received by all parties. I commend this model approach and hope they will be able to extend the facility for more students if given the necessary funding.\u201d\nFuture Schools Trust believes it has a model which other schools will follow.\nMr Graham said: \u201cIt is early days, as the Gateway only opened at the beginning of this academic year, but the signs so far are that pupils are prepared to come to school each day and show a willingness to learn, which can only be for the good.\u201d\nMr Kotsis said: \u201cOur aim is to teach practical skills whilst reinforcing the need for academic rigour. All pupils need to learn how to control their emotions whilst appreciating that they need basic Maths and English to give them the best chance of securing a job.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The Pros and Cons of Near Term Human Extinction\nby Michael Doliner\nNear term human extinction is not all bad. For one thing it\u2019s absolutely free. No need to break the piggy bank. And the whole family can go. It\u2019s gratis. Not only that, but you can even bring your pets. Cat, dog. parrot, termite you name it. No need for special carriers, quarantines, shots, whatever. None of that. Of course don\u2019t expect to find them on the other side, because there is no other side.\nThen, really good news, all your debts are wiped out. Zippity-doo-dah. Zero. Kiss the student loan, mortgage, credit card bill good-bye. No more vig to the neighborhood henchman. Sayonara. Your balance goes to zero, just like you. Don\u2019t worry, there\u2019s no paperwork.\nAnd your boss, that asshole, gone. You\u2019ll never have to kiss his rosy red one again.\nNo more housework. No taking out the garbage, cleaning the frig\u2013 no house.\nNo more having to listen to twaddle about Donald Trump.\nWorries, none. Where\u2019s your daughter? What\u2019s up with sonny boy? Is some jackass going to start a nuclear war? What\u2019s that lump in your unmentionable? How are you going to put food on the table? Forget about it. It\u2019s all wiped clean. Tell me that\u2019s not a great big fat check mark in the plus column.\nBut even with all these goodies, I know some of you might feel you should have done something about near term human extinction. You\u2019re guilty, I get it. You just feel bad. \u201cIf only, back in the seventies\u2026 \u201c, you are saying to yourself. You feel you have no right to this windfall. You should have been more responsible. You and the other Baby Boomers, Greatest Generationists, Millennials, Generation Xers, whatever, should have stood up, put your bodies on the line, at least said something. Well, I\u2019ve got news for you, buddy: Homo sapiens have been working this side of the street for quite some time. We drive other species to extinction. That\u2019s what we do and we\u2019ve been doing it for two hundred thousand years. Galapagos turtles, passenger pigeons, the great awk, whales, swordfish, buffalo, chestnut trees, ferns frogs lizards, butterflies and any other scrap of flora and fauna with a breath of life or a green leaf is, or soon will be, \u2026toast. Welcome to the sixth mass extinction, playah. This is going to be the wildest party in the whole blooming universe, and you\u2019re invited. Put on your happy face. It\u2019s the grand finale. You don\u2019t have to fret about not having bought that Yugo in the seventies.\nNow, admittedly, this makes us the biggest baddest mofo on the green-blue world, and that is worth a shit-eating grin or two. So add a shit-eating grin or two on the plus side of the near-term human extinction ledger.\nHomo Erectus started the party when he mastered fire at least four hundred thousand years ago. Before that it was eat and be eaten. In one fell swoop he became the big enchilada. He fire-scaped the countryside wiping out species he didn\u2019t eat and encouraging those that he did. Hi, grandpa!\nHowever, he was small potatoes compared to us, homo sapiens, so called. When Homo Sapiens, heir to Herr Erectus, made the scene in Europe about twenty thousand years ago he found Neanderthal man. Neanderthal man had lived in Europe for about two hundred thousand years, through a couple of ice ages, without, as far as we can tell, disturbing the ecology. Now I know you\u2019ve got this picture of Neanderthal man as a sort of man-ape \u2013bent, hairy, kind of stupid. But that, it turns out, was propaganda. They were much more like us than we like to think. As a matter of fact we had sex with them, produced children, and cared for those children. Neanderthal DNA can be as much as 4% of our own. No one knows whether IQ scores correspond to percentage of Neanderthal DNA.\nAnyway, we rubbed them out along with a couple of other brother species. And we never looked back. So now we arrived at ourselves. What\u2019s the problem? Let\u2019s face it, we\u2019re here. The biggest plus from near term human extinction is near term human extinction. Isn\u2019t that what we\u2019ve been working towards lo these many millennia?\nMore articles by:Michael Doliner\nMichael Doliner studied with Hannah Arendt at the University of Chicago and has taught at Valparaiso University and Ithaca College.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Blog / City of Frederick / Historic overlay district for College Park\nNovember 5, 2008 /0 Comments/in City of Frederick /by Admin\nMs. Kathy Fay\n302 North College Parkway\nDear Ms. Fay:\nThank you for your letter of October 16th regarding the proposal to establish an historic overlay district for the College Park neighborhood. I am paying attention to this debate, and I attended the Monday meeting in the Annex building a week ago. It is my understanding that the matter must first be approved by the Planning Commission before it will make it to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. Nevertheless, here is the standard that I intend to apply if the matter comes before the Board.\nThe imposition of historic guidelines will impose restrictions on property owners that did not exist at the time they acquired their properties. Because of this, I believe that the City must demonstrate a compelling need or interest before imposing new restrictions. In addition, I believe that there must be a super majority of property owners in the proposed district that desire the change.

        "raw_content": "Home / Landscape Design / Choosing the Right Plants to Help you Save Water\nHow much rainfall you get and when you get it:\nThe amount of rain you get is also a very important consideration. For example, if it rains regularly throughout the year, you may be able to set up some sort of water collection system that will allow you to grow plants that require a bit more water. In the same way, if you have very hot, dry summers, then it could be a good idea to plant a variety of drought tolerant plants. In this case, you could also plant smaller annuals at the start of winter, and then let them die at the end when it gets too dry.\nWhat sort of plants are native to your area:\nIf you are trying to choose the perfect plants for your climate, then the best place to start is with the things that are native to the area. Although they are growing in popularity, Australian natives traditionally haven\u2019t been seen as good garden plants.\nThis is unfortunate, because a lot of our natives are very drought tolerant and are able to survive with minimal water requirements. They often have beautiful flowers, and require little care throughout the year.\nIf you are trying to design a sustainable garden in Australia, you need to think about your water requirements. Try and choose plants which don\u2019t need a lot of water, and match your garden to your climate. Do your research, ask people who know about these things, and above all, have fun!",

        "raw_content": "Home Opinion Vote yes on 1A, 5B to expand I-25\nVote yes on 1A, 5B to expand I-25\nThe issue: Traffic congestion on Interstate 25 damages commerce and county roads.\nWhat we think: Approving question 1A and 5B are steps toward finding money to expand Interstate 25.\nCommuters to Denver are spending more time fuming in traffic jams than conducting business between Denver and Colorado Springs. Backups on Interstate 25 \u2014 which narrows to two lanes north of Monument and doesn\u2019t open up to three lanes again until south of Castle Rock \u2014 are causing damage to the state\u2019s tourism, its business prospects and its economic development.\nEl Paso County roads are taking more than their fair share of the traffic \u2014 and it\u2019s not getting any better.\nBut there\u2019s some positive news surrounding the I-25 traffic wars. The state announced last week it will spend about $250 million for the initial expansion work with the goal of starting construction in 2019 \u2014 once the environmental study and all preconstruction work is finished. Colorado Department of Transportation officials say that they recognized they couldn\u2019t wait any longer to solve congestion on one of the state\u2019s major interstates.\nNow it\u2019s time for local residents to do our part to improve traffic and ease congestion from the influx of new residents in Colorado. Thanks to a booming economy, the El Paso County government has funds it can dedicate to the purpose \u2014 maybe.\nIt all depends on voters.\nThe county is asking residents to approve keeping $14.6 million in excess tax revenue to match state and federal funds for the project. The county would also spend some of the money on disaster recovery, as well as parks, trails and open space, according to ballot proposal 1A. Absent voter approval on Nov. 7, El Paso County will return the money to taxpayers \u2014 about $40 for those owning homes valuated at $250,000. The Pikes Peak Rural Transportation Authority is also asking to retain about $10 million in excess revenue \u2014 and is asking voters to approve adding the I-25 gap to their project priority list. Because the money comes from excess revenue, it won\u2019t affect funding of the other projects on PPRTA\u2019s list. Together, these funds can match federal and state money to fix the gap.\nThere\u2019s little El Paso County residents can do to persuade Douglas County taxpayers to help fund their part of the expansion. After all, only about a mile of the planned expansion falls in El Paso County. But ending congestion between the state\u2019s two biggest cities could pave the way for new opportunities for business expansion, collaboration and partnerships with the state\u2019s capital city.\nEasing the stop-and-go traffic on I-25 removes the additional traffic burden on county roads. When traffic slows on the highway, hundreds of drivers inevitably make their way to Colorado Springs using county roads from Larkspur in Douglas County into Palmer Lake and through Monument. All those cars, trucks, delivery vans and tractor-trailers are taking a tremendous toll on roads that weren\u2019t built to carry thousands of cars a week. And even then, traffic backs up on Highway 105 in northern El Paso County, on Highway 83 on the east side of I-25, on County Line Road in Palmer Lake and throughout Monument.\nFailing to widen I-25 now means taxpayers will be forced to pony up the money to fix the side roads and frontage roads throughout northern El Paso County.\nIt\u2019s a long-overdue, long-awaited fix. And now that the state\u2019s on board, it\u2019s time for local businesses and voters to approve our share of the money. Measure 1A doesn\u2019t demand additional tax money; it\u2019s using money already collected for something that will benefit the region as a whole.\nVote yes on 1A and on 5B.\nexcess revenue\nPrevious articleEnd of war on coal content-free gesture\nNext articleMilitary presence makes city a big cyber target\nLee Milner October 20, 2017 at 10:24 pm\nis this a toll lane?\nsteve harris October 21, 2017 at 4:49 pm\nIt would be useful to know what happened to the last couple of billion dollars collected from El Paso county over the past two decades in fuel taxes. \u201cThe Gap\u201d should have been six laned over ten years ago, yet there appeared to be plenty of money for the Denver T-Rex project\u2013over a Billion.\nEric Brizzie October 21, 2017 at 8:59 pm\nYes, just drove from Boulder to Denver today, route 36 to 270.

It made an emergency landing after its captain had to be restrained.\nBy Betsy Blaney and Oskar Garcia The Associated Press\nScreaming \"They're going to take us down!\" a JetBlue pilot stormed through his plane rambling about a bomb and threats from Iraq Tuesday until passengers on the Las Vegas-bound flight tackled him to the ground just outside the cockpit, passengers said.\nThe captain of JetBlue Airways Flight 191 from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport was taken to a hospital after suffering a \"medical situation\" on board that forced the co-pilot to take over the plane and land it in Amarillo, Texas, the airline said.\nThe unidentified pilot seemed disoriented, jittery and constantly sipped water when he first marched through the cabin, then began to rant about threats linked to Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan after crew members tried to calm him down in the back, passengers said.\n\"They're going to take us down. They're taking us down. They're going to take us down. Say the Lord's prayer. Say the Lord's prayer,\" the captain screamed, according to passenger Tony Antolino.\nJosh Redick, who was sitting near the middle of the plane, said the captain seemed \"irate\" and was \"spouting off about Afghanistan and souls and al-Qaida.\"\nRELATED BLOG: Terrorism & Security\nThe outburst came weeks after an American Airlines flight attendant was taken off a plane for rambling about 9/11 and her fears the plane would crash. An aviation expert remembered only two or three cases in 40 years where a pilot had become mentally incapacitated during a flight.\nGabriel Schonzeit, who was sitting in the third row, said the captain said there could be a bomb on board the flight.\n\"He started screaming about al-Qaida and possibly a bomb on the plane and Iraq and Iran and about how we were all going down,\" Schonzeit told the Amarillo Globe-News.\nThe captain was tackled by several passengers after he tried to re-enter the cockpit, which had been locked by the co-pilot, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement.\nAntolino, a security executive who said he sat in the 10th row, said he and three others pinned down the captain as he ran for the cockpit door and sat on him for about 20 minutes until the plane landed at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport at 10 a.m.\n\"That's how we landed,\" he said. \"There were four of us on top of him. ... Everybody else kind of took a seat and that's how we landed.\"\nAn off-duty airline captain who was a passenger on the flight entered the flight deck before landing in Amarillo and took over the duties of the ill captain, the airline said in a statement.\nThe captain was taken to a local medical facility after the plane landed, the airline said without elaborating.\nShane Helton, 39, of Quinlan, Okla., said he saw emergency and security personnel coming on and off the plane as it sat on the tarmac in Amarillo.\n\"They pulled one guy out on a stretcher and put him in an ambulance,\" said Helton, who went to the airport with his fianc\u00e9e to see one of her sons off as he joined the Navy.\nAuthorities interviewed each of the passengers once they had landed and left the plane, said 22-year-old passenger Grant Heppes, of New York City.\n\"I had no idea it was an employee until it really started happening,\" Heppes said. \"I just assumed it was a passenger who flipped out.\"\nThe FBI was coordinating an investigation with the airport police, Amarillo police, the FAA and the Transportation Safety Administration, said agency spokeswoman Lydia Maese in Dallas. She declined to comment on arrests.\nThe flight left New York around 7 a.m. and was in the air for 3 \u00bd hours before landing in Texas. The passengers boarded another plane for Las Vegas several hours later.\nJohn Cox, an aviation safety consultant and former airline pilot, said incidents in which pilots become mentally incapacitated during a flight are \"pretty rare.\" He said he could only recall two or three other examples in the more than 40 years he has been following commercial aviation.\nAirlines and the FAA strongly encourage pilots to assert themselves if they think safety is being jeopardized, even if it means contradicting a captain's orders, Cox said. Aviation safety experts have studied several cases where first officers deferred to more experienced captains with tragic results.\nUnruly pilots and crew have disrupted flights in the past.\nEarlier this month, an American Airlines flight attendant took over the public-address system on a flight bound for Chicago and spoke for 15 minutes about Sept. 11 and the safety of their plane, saying \"I'm not responsible for this plane crashing,\" several passengers said.\nPassengers wrestled the flight attendant into a seat while the plane was grounded at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport; the flight attendant was hospitalized.\nIn 2008, an Air Canada co-pilot was forcibly removed from a Toronto-to-London flight, restrained and sedated after having a mental breakdown on a flight. A flight attendant with flying experience helped the pilot safely make an emergency landing in Ireland, and none of the 146 passengers and nine crew members on board was injured.\nIn August 2010, JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater pulled the emergency chute on a flight from Pittsburgh after it landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport. He went on the public-address system, swore at a passenger, grabbed a beer and slid down the tarmac.\nHe was sentenced to probation, counseling and substance abuse treatment for attempted criminal mischief.\nThe FAA is likely to review the unidentified captain's medical certificate \u2014 essentially a seal of approval that the pilot is healthy. All pilots working for scheduled airlines must have a first-class medical certificate. The certificates must be renewed every six months to a year, depending on the pilot's age.\nTo receive the certificate, the pilot must receive a physical examination by an FAA-designated medical examiner that includes questions about pilot's psychological condition. Pilots are required to disclose all physical and psychological conditions and medications.\nPlastic restraints failed to hold pilot, JetBlue CEO vows review\nBy Susan Heavey Reuters\nCharge brought against JetBlue pilot Clayton Osbon after mid-flight outburst\nGlobal News Blog Germanwings pilot suicide: Steps to prevent this from happening again",

        "raw_content": "CSU-Pueblo earns $6 million grant to build active STEM learners\nColorado State University-Pueblo will receive nearly $6 million over the next five years from the U.S. Department of Education to increase the number of Hispanic and other low-income students earning degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields through development of new curriculum, centers for learning and engagement, and a model transfer and articulation agreement between CSU-Pueblo and Pueblo Community College.\nCSU-Pueblo was one of only two Colorado schools, and the only four-year institution, to be awarded funds from the H-S-I STEM and Articulation Program. Community College of Denver was the other Colorado recipient. To qualify, grant applicants had to either be a Hispanic Serving Institution (at least 25 percent of student population of Hispanic descent) or partnering with a HSI. Forty-nine percent (49%) of CSU-Pueblo's fall 2016 student population reported being from a minority group, with 34 percent indicating they were Hispanic.\nCSU-Pueblo President Lesley Di Mare noted that in the last few months alone the University has received nearly $10 million from the U.S. Department of Education for three different grants (Talent Search, Educational Opportunity Center, HSI STEM) that will improve the student experience, while advancing the University's academic reputation, especially in the STEM fields.\n\"This grant will significantly increase the amount of hands-on undergraduate research that we can provide, thus contributing directly to our strategic focus in experiential education,\" she said.\nCSU-Pueblo's Communities to Build Active STEM Engagement (C-BASE) Program will integrate curricular (new and redesigned coursework), co-curricular (undergraduate research opportunities, mentorship, student services), and programmatic (professional development, community building, and seminar series) initiatives to increase enrollment, retention, and graduation rates in STEM fields among Hispanic and low-income learners.\nThe team of Biology Professor Dr. Brian Vanden Heuvel, PROPEL Grant Director Tina Moore and PROPEL Curriculum Specialist Abby Davidson co-authored the application. The writing team was supported by an interdisciplinary group of faculty, representing all STEM departments on campus.\nVanden Heuvel said activities in year one of the grant, which begins Oct. 1, include the hiring of three post-doctoral researchers (from underrepresented classes), the hiring of eight junior student researchers, as well as the start of the general chemistry curriculum redevelopment (Project PASSChem) scheduled to launch in the fall of 2017. As the years progress, the grant will provide funding for up to 32 juniors and seniors and 32 sophomores to engage in the research communities, hopefully eliminating the need for them to find additional jobs off campus. It also will provide release time for faculty who choose to mentor and research with the students or to engage in curriculum development.\n\"It is a multi-layered approach, which involves junior and senior student researchers working with post-doctoral researchers and faculty in research communities. The upper division students will act as mentors and tutors to lower division students, who eventually will take on the leadership and mentorship roles,\" Vanden Heuvel said.\nMoore said communities are important aspects of student success within STEM disciplines. Underrepresented STEM students tend to come to campus with a deep connection to their communities and their families and seek opportunities to give back and make a difference.\n\"This grant is about building those connections and helping them to see the many opportunities that the STEM fields can provide.\"",

The water agency has commited $50,000 to the fund and may add a $1 \u201cgood neighbor\u201d option so that its other customers can chip in too and help out those who may be struggling.\nOver a six month period between April and September the MDC gave $44,000 to 111 households who had not paid their bills. An estimated 38 percent had a past due balance, 52 percent of the 111 were about to be shut off, and 10 percent were able to restore their service with grants of up to $500. Of those who received assistance from the program, 86 percent were homeowners and 14 percent were renters. An estimated 42 percent were employed, 25 percent were on Social Security, and 10 percent were on Social Security Disability.\nWater and wastewater services are becoming unaffordable for many households as expenses continue to increase, Brenda Watson, executive director of Operation Fuel, said.\nShe said it\u2019s a trend they\u2019ve been witnessing for the past six or eight years.\nWater and sewer service costs are trending upward at the moment because of the \u201cmuch needed infrastructure upgrades and maintenance,\u201d Watson said.\nAt the same time federal grant funds that have historically been available to subsidize local investment in water and wastewater infrastructure have largely been eliminated.\nHouse Majority Leader Matt Ritter, D-Hartford, said he hopes the federal government will include water and sewer infrastructure as part of any infrastructure funding it approves.\nThe incoming Congress is divided with the U.S. House controlled by the Democratic Party and the U.S. Senate controlled by Republicans. However, U.S. Rep. John B. Larson believes they will be able to find common ground over infrastructure.\nIn the meantime, with few federal resources, Watson said they are also challenged by the fragmented nature of water and sewer companies in Connecticut, which are structured differently from one town to the next.\nRep. Matt Lesser, D-Middletown, said he heard about the issue on the campaign trail from mostly elderly people on fixed incomes.\n\u201cI think we as a legislature should focus on this,\u201d Lesser added Wednesday at a press conference.\nRitter said he receives about 25 to 30 calls per year from constituents who need help paying their water bills.\nEarlier this year, the General Assembly adjourned before taking action on the State Water Plan.\nThe almost four-year process utilized extensive public and stakeholder input and scientific data to create a report that cost more than $1 million.\nThe proposed plan created a framework for sustainable water management, which would protect public drinking water supplies and environmental health. It\u2019s unclear if the General Assembly will try and tackle the issue again in 2019.\nTags: Operation Fuel, water, Metropolitan District Commission, Matt Ritter, Matt Lesser, Brenda Watson, energy assistance, affordability, dh",

At the same time, I must thank Pearson for involving me in the decision-making process rather than railroading everything. Much to their credit they involved me in key aspects including the content, the cover design, and even the name of the book.\nThey did veto a number of my suggestions, but at the same time they did go along with quite a few of my proposals too. I am also grateful that they left in a lot of the humour that other publishers would have been afraid of including.\nI think the book is certainly better for going with a progressive publisher such as Pearson rather than a more conservative publisher.\nAnd on a more personal note, I\u2019m just pleased that the book is more me than it would have been if I\nhad went with a more conservative publisher.

        "raw_content": "Reducing gun violence, charter school\u2026\nUTLA teachers celebrate the end to the teacher\u2019s strike in January at Grand Central Park. (Photo by David Crane, Los Angeles Daily News/SCNG)\nBy Laura Fay | LA School Report\nSchool safety and college affordability are the most pressing issues in education, California voters said in a ew poll.\nThe top priority overall was reducing gun violence in schools, with more than half of respondents saying it was \u201cvery important.\u201d But voters with children as well as those ages 18-49 and those earning less than $35,000 a year rated college affordability as more important. The annual poll, conducted since 2012, was led by researchers at the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education and the independent research group Policy Analysis for California Education.\n\u201cThis poll sends an unmistakable message from voters to policymakers: Do something about gun violence,\u201d Karen Symms Gallagher, USC Rossier\u2019s dean, said in a statement. \u201cWe have the means and the expertise to prevent future tragedies, including through the improvement of social and emotional health. This is some of the most important work that policymakers can do, if they can put in the time and energy the public wants them to.\u201d\n1. Overall, reducing gun violence in schools is the key issue for the most Californians.Although the chances of a student being shot at school are extremely small, 56 percent of people polled rated reducing gun violence at schools as a 10 on a 10-point scale, meaning \u201cvery important.\u201d The next most important item was college affordability, which 45 percent rated a 10. (The survey asked voters to rate each issue by importance, not rank them.)\nSince last February\u2019s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, school violence and how to prevent it have dominated headlines. Some observers have said the emotional pull of such events causes them to play an outsized role in policymaking.\nStudents lead the way in marches around U.S., Southern California, in push for stronger gun-control laws\nLAUSD students to \u2018stand together\u2019 for Parkland shooting victims with protests, on-campus activities\nGun-control advocates at LA rally say \u2018enough is enough\u2019 in wake of Florida school shooting\nRespondents overwhelmingly support increasing public mental health options, having more active shooter drills in schools and installing metal detectors in schools.\nGenerally, voters oppose arming teachers, with 63 percent saying they somewhat oppose or strongly oppose the idea, though opinion was split on party lines \u2014 55 percent of Republicans and just 19 percent of Democrats support the idea. Democrats were more likely to support banning and confiscating assault rifles or other high-capacity firearms (81 percent vs. 50 percent of Republicans).\n2. With strikes looming large, most Californians support teachers\u2019 right to strike.The poll was conducted Jan. 3-9, a few days before Los Angeles teachers launched a 6-day walkout. A majority (64 percent) of Californians polled said they support teachers\u2019 right to strike, while 24 percent said they opposed it. Support was slightly higher (67 percent) when the question included the idea that teachers strike \u201cto demand better compensation and benefits.\u201d\nTeachers in Oakland, California, voted this week to authorize a strike if their union does not reach an agreement with the district soon. Oakland teachers have been working without a contract since 2017, and pay is a central part of the negotiation.\n3. Voters are more concerned about holding charter schools accountable than expanding them.The survey asked about expanding charter schools in two different ways, asking some voters about the importance of \u201cExpanding school choice through public charter schools\u201d and others about \u201cIncreasing the number of public charter schools.\u201d Regardless of the wording of the question, respondents rated it as the least important priority.\nMoreover, holding public charter schools accountable was sixth on the list of priorities, ahead of improving school discipline, increasing early education access and improving services for English language learners.\nThe findings come as state leaders vow to take a closer look at charters. Earlier this week Gov. Gavin Newsom asked state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond to convene a panel of experts to evaluate the effects of charter schools in the state, in response to demands from United Teachers Los Angeles during negotiations to end the strike in the state\u2019s largest district.\n4. A majority support changing the property tax law to benefit schools and local government.Overall, 55 percent of respondents said they support a change in the state\u2019s property taxlaw that would reassess business property values every year in order to increase tax revenue to support local government and schools. The proposal could be on the ballot in 2020.\nThe increase in revenue from that change could be especially beneficial to Los Angeles Unified, which is searching for sustainable funding sources after approving an $840 million contract with its teachers union. The district already faces skyrocketing long-term debt.\n5. Voters are divided on the new governor\u2019s pre-K agenda.Gov. Gavin Newsom has said he will prioritize early education for California children. When asked about Newsom\u2019s \u201ccradle-to-college\u201d priorities, just 10 percent of voters said expanding preschool programs for children ages 3 to 5 was their top priority, and 12 percent said providing prenatal care and programs for children 0 to 3 was most important. On the other hand, 31 percent said their top priority was improving K-12 education and 25 percent said keeping higher education affordable was most important.\nVoters were more inclined to say they support universal preschool in the state (48 percent) than targeted programs that would benefit only children from \u201cfamilies who are struggling\u201d (37 percent).\nThe poll included 2,000 California voters in a survey conducted online from Jan. 3-9, led by researchers at the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education (Julie A. Marsh and Morgan Polikoff) and Policy Analysis for California Education (Heather J. Hough and David Plank), and was conducted by Tulchin Research.",

The 33-year-old Gowda only managed a paltry 58.70 m throw in his third attempt, which was way below the desired mark.\nIn men\u2019s 20 km race walk event, Manish Singh finished 13th position with the time of 1:21:21. The other two Indian athletes Ganapathi Krishnan and Gurmeet Singh were disqualified in the men\u2019s 20 km race walk event at the Olympic stadium.\nThis Independence Day Exchange your old smartphone for OnePlus 3\nTashan-E-Ishq Spoiler!

Young, The Detroit News)Buy Photo\nDemocrats were poised to hold majorities on Michigan education boards, apparently clinching seats on the state's Big Three public universities and theMichigan Board of Education.\nWins would give Democrats majorities on the governing boards of Michigan State University and the state Education board, and amp up their majorities at the University of Michigan and Wayne State University.\nDemocratic candidates ousted two longtime Republicans at UM, two GOP incumbents at Wayne State and on the state education board, unofficial election results showed Wednesday. Meanwhile, Democratic candidates were elected to the two open seats at MSU as it works to create a new culture after the Larry Nassar sexual abuse scandal.\nLong-running UM Regent Andrea Fischer Newman conceded early Wednesday after what appeared to be a razor-thin loss. She expressed her gratitude to voters for allowing her to serve for 24 years.\n\"Together, we fought to keep tuition low and standards high,\" wrote Newman, first elected in 1994. \"We grew the campus. We grew aspirations and opportunities for both students and faculty ... I leave the university knowing it will continue to prosper ... My heart will always be in Ann Arbor.\"\nOnly Wayne County had not reported results to the Michigan Secretary of State, but incorporating Wayne's unofficial totals suggests Democratic victories at MSU and UM.\nThe Democratic wins of Brianna Scott and Kelley Tebay in the closely watched race of the MSU Board of Trustees gave hope to some that culture change is on the horizon after the Nassar sex abuse scandal.\nUnofficial counts of Wayne County combined with the Secretary of State vote totals showed that Scott of Muskegon and Tebay of Pittsfield Township won with 1,801,747 votes and 1,728,323 votes, or 25.7 and 24.7 percent, respectively. Republican Mike Miller of Okemos garnered 1,517,739 votes, while Republican business executive Dave Dutch of Traverse City captured 1,485,226 votes, meaning they had garnered 21.7 and 21.2 percent of the vote, respectively.\n\"To all of you Voters and Supporters of Brianna Scott 4 MSU, I say thank you for sharing your stories and hope for a better Michigan with me and giving me the opportunity to do my part as a Trustee of Michigan State University!,\" Scott said in a statement Wednesday morning. \"I look forward to serving and restoring the trust, integrity and pride back to MSU.\"\nTebay said she was humbled that voters chose her to represent them.\n\"I am looking forward to getting in there and working with students, faculty and staff,\" Tebay said. \"We have a lot of work to do as a community and I am looking forward to being part of it.\"\nMorgan McCaul, one of Nassar's hundreds of accusers, said she looks forward to a new future at MSU.\n\"For years, my sister survivors and I have been calling for a radical change in the structure and culture of the MSU Board of Trustees,\" McCaul said. \"I\u2019m ecstatic that the candidates who enthusiastically support the Reclaim MSU policy proposals will be representing students and faculty for years to come.\"\nThe state's largest university has been embroiled in controversy this year, with its response to Nassar's crimes prompting the resignation of top officials, including former president Lou Anna Simon and former athletic director Mark Hollis.\nThe university's handling of allegations against Nassar also led some to call for the resignation of the entire Board of Trustees, while others unsuccessfully called for the ouster of Interim President John Engler, a Republican former governor.\nThe leading trustee candidates all seemed to agree that keeping tuition affordable, selecting the right person as president and restoring trust in MSU's leadership are key issues in the wake of Nassar, who sexually assaulted hundreds of women over two decades while employed as a sports doctor at the university.\nThe board was split between four Democrats and four Republicans, butChairman Brian Breslin and Trustee Mitch Lyons, both Republicans, did not seek re-election.\nDemocrats will now have the majority, 6-2.\nIn the UM race, Democratic newcomers Jordan Acker, an attorney, and Democrat Paul Brown, a UM adjunct professor, ousted Newman and longtime Republican Regent Andrew Richner in a tight race.\nCombined vote totals of the Secretary of State and Wayne County showed that Acker and Brown secured 1,738,962 and 1,649,171 votes, or 25.2 and 23.9 percent of the vote, respectively. Meanwhile, Newman garnered 1,592,478 votes, or 23 percent, while Richner got 1,463,851 votes or 21.2 percent.\nBrown, who grew up in Northern Michigan, said he admired the work that Richner and Newman did over the years, but added that voters wanted a change and he is pleased to be the only regent representative of a community north of Flint.\nBrown also said he wants to make UM more diverse and open to more of the state's high school graduates.\nHe said UM has become a \"wealthy white school,\" with more than half of the students enrolled coming from outside of Michigan.\n\"We need to educate students from all over our the state,\" said Brown. \"Students from every community need to have an opportunity to go to get an education here.\"\nAcker also thanked Newman and Richner for their service and said he was looking forward to the future.\n\u201cI am honored and humbled to be the first regent elected who graduated in the 21st century,\" said Acker. \"We have a lot of work to do, and I look forward to getting started in January. \"\nRichner, first elected in 2002, said that serving as a UM regent for for 16 years has been \"an honor and a privilege of the greatest magnitude.\"\n\"The University of Michigan is a special place, made that way by the extraordinarily talented people who are part of the University community,\" he said. \"I share their love and passion for our University. While my service as a regent will be ending, my commitment to, and support for, the University\u2019s success will never end.\"\nDemocrats will now have a 7-1 majority on the UM Board of Regents.\nFor two seats at Wayne State University, unofficial election results show Democratic newcomers Bryan Barnhill and and Anil Kumar of Bloomfield Hills clinched the race with 1,704,460 and 1,576,474 votes, 25.6 and 23.5 percent, respectively. They ousted the incumbent Republican governors Diane Dunaskiss of Lake Orion and David Nicholson of Grosse Pointe with 1,534,195 and 1,440,692 votes, 23 and 21.6 percent, respectively.\nDemocrats will now have a 7-1 majority at Wayne State. The lone Republican on the WSU Board of Governors will be Michael Busuito.\nIn the race for two seats on the State Board of Education, Democrat Judy Pritchett, former Center Line superintendent, and Tiffany Tilley, a Southfield Democratic activist, garnered 1,805,054 and 1,719,079 votes, respectively. Meanwhile, Republican accountant Tami Carlone and Republican board member Richard Zeile of Dearborn received 1,592,605 and 1,457,206 votes, respectively.\nIn the MSU race, Tebay, 31, said she ran because she's a recent graduate who's far removed from the university, should sit on the board. She works in development for United Way for Southeastern Michigan in Detroit.\nThe Democrat's bid for a trustee seat is also personal. Tebay said she was sexually assaulted on campus. She said the university failed to show compassion to the victims of Nassar and admit mistakes were made at the height of the scandal. She hopes to change the distrust in the board by making it more accountable, accessible and transparent.\nMiller, 70, said he decided to run for trustee because he has been an East Lansing resident his entire life and a supporter of the university. He retired from running the orthopedic business he started in Holt.\nIt was also personal for him, too. His daughter, who doesn't want to be identified with the Nassar crisis, was a competitive gymnast and recruited to play volleyball at MSU and was treated by Nassar. Miller said he knew all of her friends, who were also treated by Nassar.\nScott, a lawyer based in Muskegon and the other Democratic nominee, said she was running because so many people in the MSU community supported her through graduation after she got pregnant at age 20 during her junior year. Many also encouraged her to go on to law school at Wayne State University, she said, something she might not have done without their nudging.\nShe emphasized her 18 years practicing law, including three years as a prosecutor in Muskegon County. Plus, she noted that she is the only African-American woman running and would represent a new point of view on the board.\nScott, 43, said the top issue is selecting the right leader to be president. College affordability is also critical, Scott said, because tuition hikes are putting college out of reach.\nDutch said he ran because he's been on boards and understands billion-dollar budgets and organizations.\nNow semi-retired at age 53 after being a business executive, Dutch was born and raised in East Lansing. His family has worked at and attended the university for decades, with his father working for 52 years as a personnel administrator. His parents met there, and seven of his 10 siblings attended MSU.\nRead or Share this story: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/elections/2018/11/06/michigan-education-boards-msu-um-wsu-results-winners/1825453002/",

As she waded through rising and uncharted waters, her appetite waned. The church where she had invested her time and heart was peering in and as Carey\u2019s life spiraled out of control, they move from an attitude of supportive oversight to one of discipline and domination.\nNot only did her body have a desire for food, but her soul was craving more from the life she was living.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Difference Between Atomic Number and Atomic Weight\nDifference Between Atomic Number and Atomic Weight\nNovember 4, 2011 Posted by Admin\nAtomic Number vs Atomic Weight\nAtoms are characterized by their atomic numbers. In the periodic table, atoms are arranged according to their atomic number. Atomic number provides a variety of information regarding the atom and its nature. Atomic weight is also important to get some idea about the elements.\nAtoms are mainly composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. Nucleus of the atom contains protons and neutrons. In addition, there are electrons circling around the nucleus in orbitals. Atomic number of an element is the number of protons it has in the nucleus. The symbol for denoting the atomic number is Z. When the atom is neutral, it has the same number of electrons as protons. Thus, atomic number is equal to the number of electrons in this instance. However, it is always reliable to get the number of protons as the atomic number. The elements in the periodic table are arranged according to the increasing atomic number. This arrangement has automatically arranged them in increased atomic weight most of the time. Every element has separate atomic number, and no element has the same atomic number. Therefore, atomic number is a good way of distinguishing different elements. By looking at the atomic number itself, a lot of information about the element can be withdrawn. For example, it tells the group and the period where the element belongs to in the periodic table. Further, it gives information about oxidation states, charge of the ion, bonding behavior, nucleus charge, etc.\nWhat is Atomic Weight?\nMost of the atoms in the periodic table have two or more isotopes. Isotopes differ from each other by having a different number of neutrons, even though they have the same proton and electron amount. Since their neutron amount is different, each isotope has a different atomic mass. Atomic weight is the average weight calculated considering all the masses of isotopes. Each isotope is present in the environment, in different percentages. When calculating the atomic weight, both isotope mass and their relative abundances are taken into consideration. Moreover, the masses of atoms are extremely small, so we cannot express them in normal mass units like grams or kilograms. For our purposes, we are using another unit call atomic mass unit (amu) to measure the atomic weight.\nIUPAC defines the atomic weight as follows:\n\u201cAn atomic weight (relative atomic mass) of an element from a specified source is the ratio of the average mass per atom of the element to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of 12C.\u201d\nThe weights given in the periodic table are calculated like this, and they are given as relative atomic mass.\nWhat is the difference between Atomic Number and Atomic Weight?\n\u2022 Atomic number of an element is the number of protons it has in the nucleus. Atomic weight is the average weight calculated considering all the masses of isotopes.\n\u2022 Number of protons and neutrons are largely contributing to the atomic weight. (This is because the mass of an electron is very small compared to a proton or a neutron).\n\u2022 Elements in the periodic table are arranged according to the increasing atomic number, not the atomic weight, but often, atomic weight increase can also be seen between the consecutive elements when they are arranged according to their atomic numbers.\nDifference Between Atomic Weight and Atomic Mass Difference Between Atomic Weight and Mass Number Difference Between Atomic Mass and Molecular Weight Difference Between Atomic Mass Unit and Atomic Mass Difference Between Element and Molecule\nFiled Under: Chemistry Tagged With: amu, atomic mass, atomic mass unit, atomic number, atomic number vs, atomic weight, atomic weight vs, atoms, isotopes, relative atomic mass\nDifference Between Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus\nDifference Between Intersex and Transgender\nDifference Between Lenovo IdeaTab S2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1\nDifference Between Voltage Converter and Transformer\nDifference Between Perfect and Imperfect Competition",

        "raw_content": "Robert C Ehling Obituary\nRobert C Ehling\nOur beloved husband and father Robert C. Ehling (Bob, or \u201cMr. E\u201d) passed suddenly and unexpectedly on January 22 after a long illness. Entrepreneur, benefactor, raconteur and rogue, he will be sorely and deeply missed.\nBob was born and raised in Jersey City by his father Ernest, a beat patrolman, music teacher and Mason, and his mother, Violet, a homemaker. Bob worked from an early age as a bicycle messenger for Western Union and a delivery boy for a butchery. He was an avid outdoorsman, beginning with hunting, fishing and trapping the Meadowlands.\nBob attended Rutgers University\u2019s Engineering Program on a mathematics scholarship but did not graduate, choosing marriage and a career in electronics contracting over further academic pursuits. He started, bought and sold several small electronics businesses, specializing in analog instrumentation and serving customers including the US Government, AT&T, and the greater Bell System, building and selling items such as volt/ohm/ammeters for telephone line repairmen, as well as panel instruments for locomotives, combat aircraft, surface to air missile systems, and the M-1 Abrams tank. Having never really retired, Bob was still an active consultant to Custom Metering, one of his first businesses, at the time of his death. He was also an ardent gardener, specializing in heirloom tomatoes, and a real estate investor, and manager of commercial properties.\nBob moved his family to Sparta in 1963 for a better quality of life. He was very fond of our town and its people, an active member of the community, and a benefactor and contributor to local causes, including Sparta\u2019s student athletes and our VFW. He was also active in municipal politics, advising candidates for local office including our former Mayor, Jerry Murphy.\nBob is survived by his loving wife of 62 years, Helen, three sons (William, Richard, and Robert D.), their spouses (Helen, Michel, and Monika) and three grandsons (Zachary, John, and Finn). In lieu of flowers, donations in Bob\u2019s name can be made to VFW Post #7248, 66 Main St, Sparta Township, NJ 07871.\nA celebration of Bob\u2019s life will be held later this year, most likely in early summer.\nMemorial Service Monday, January 28, 2019\nMarlene Kostka\nDear Helen, Bill, Bob and Rick....so many years saw the successes of the Ehling Family at Sparta High School, and I was one so proud of all of the accomplishments. Your father was your mentor, taskmaster, counselor, and source of pride. You all walked carefully in his footsteps, and his sense of humor became most apparent in young Bill. May your father rest in a peace and eternity he certainly deserves.\nCraig A. Nemecek\nMr. Ehling was a force! What a wonderful opportunity in my life to have known him. He always had a job somewhere in town for Bob and I to work, learn and make money- from house painting, to roofing, to landscaping, sign painting, and more. I recall the list he would leave with Bob of jobs around the house for Bob to do for earnings so that Bob could concentrate on studies instead of working somebody's outside hours for money. When I moved to Iowa after finishing High School Mr. Ehling gave me the name of a contact at JI Case. While I went off to college, my brother contacted the man, and got a great job. Mr. Ehling looked out for people. When my brother would drive us to varsity football games when we were freshmen, Mr. Ehling came out to give gas money when we picked Bob up. When I was invited over for Mrs. Ehling's home made pizza night, Mr. Ehling's jokes ruled the meal! When we were of age, his refrigerator was always stocked with bottles of Heineken's to go with our pizza. A fondest memory is playing pillow tag in the Ehling's living room with Bob, Rickey, and Mr. Ehling as we all laughed endlessly as Mr. Ehling chased us high schoolers around the sofas while trying to balance a sofa pillow on his head. The photos provided by the Ehling family capture perfectly the joy of life that Mr. Ehling brought to every moment I ever knew him! What a joy is was to have known him!\nRobert or Bob , You were an original! The stories that I could recount are numerous and glorious tales; some would barely require any embellishment . I have ties that you cut in half, store bought corn that you taped to my garden stalks, one-arm push up contests, bets and more bets...oh and the beers I had to buy you for my bad tee shots. Thanks for all the memories, the mentoring, the laughs.

But Olivia Newton-John?\nYes! Olivia Newton-John\nThe star of \u201cGrease\u201d and, yes, \u201cXanadu,\u201d started doing a round of interviews this month as she toured Australia, the country where she spent most of her youth (she was actually born in England).\nHer goal is to raise money for her wellness center in her adopted home of California.\nAs a California resident, she\u2019s had access to medical marijuana for a long time. And she is very much an advocate.\n\u201cIt\u2019s been a maligned plant all these years, and it\u2019s really a magical, miracle plant,\u201d Newton-John said in an interview with Australia\u2019s \u201c60 Minutes.\u201d\nSupport From Women\nStill popular and planning a tour this year, Olivia Newton-John had to scrap her plans after the return of her breast cancer. It has metastasized in her lower back.\nIn the interview, Newton-John said her husband grew marijuana and created tinctures for her that have helped her with pain, and she believes, recovery from cancer in the past. In that respect, her comments echo those of Melissa Etheridge.\nEtheridge, another cannabis advocate who came to marijuana because she was battling breast cancer, has spoken at the Cannabis World Congress & Business Exposition. She said cannabis helped her survive going through chemotherapy, and she chose cannabis over taking \u201cfive pills.\u201d\nOlivia Newton-John and Melissa Etheridge are part of a long and growing list of middle aged celebrities supporting legalization of marijuana. They include Jennifer Aniston, Susan Sarandon and Whoopi Goldberg.\nNone have been mainstream stars quite as long as Newton-John, however.\nCancer Battle\nThe 68-year-old Newton-John battled breast cancer in 1992, undergoing a partial mastectomy. Cancer free for more than 20 years, she began experiencing back pain recently. In May 2017 she revealed that cancer had reappeared in her lower spine.\nHer story about the pain she endured and how cannabis helped her get through treatment echo those from cancer patients around the world. She said in September that just a month ago she could not even walk.\nTrying to do shows had become \u201cpretty agonizing,\u201d she said.\nNewton-John\u2019s advocacy for marijuana is notable simply because of her long-term mainstream success, which began in the early 1970s. For those too young to remember, this is what soft rock actually looked like in 1975 before lip syncing. She also had several memorable songs in the same 1970s movie (\u201cGrease\u201d) and provided a hit called \u201cMagic,\u201d in the 1980s.\nFor Baby Boomer and Generation Xers, Newton-John was just a part of life. Her advocacy for marijuana may surprise some, but her story is compelling. Her argument for medical marijuana also is straightforward and simple.\n\u201cIt\u2019s kind and it\u2019s compassionate,\u201d she told The Daily Mail. \u201cIt\u2019s what should be available for everyone to use.\u201d\n\u2190 Tips For Using Marijuana The Very First Time\n7 Easy Marijuana Gift Ideas For The Weed-Lover In Your Life \u2192\nInvesting in Cannabis: Top Legalized Marijuana Growth Stocks\nFlorida Could Provide Signal on Future of Recreational Marijuana",

        "raw_content": "Food Costs Away From Home\nVietnam Growing Importer of Soybean Meal\nThe people of Vietnam are eating so much more pork these days that the country has become one of the world\u2019s biggest importers of the soybean meal it needs to feed an ever-expanding herd of pigs, a recent Bloomberg news item stated.\nWith local farmers unable to grow enough animal feed, imports of meal next year will be twice what they were in 2012, USDA data show. While China consumes more pork by far than any other country, the amount eaten per person will soon be eclipsed by Vietnam, OECD data show. Per-capita use in Vietnam will reach 33.9 kilograms (75 pounds) by 2023, up from 29.9 kilograms now and more than the estimated 33.3 kilograms expected in China by then.\nMore meat on the menu is a byproduct of economic growth in Vietnam. Per-capita gross domestic product jumped 42% over the past five years to $2,173.65 and is forecast to increase 43% to $3,105.41 in 2021, according to the International Monetary Fund.\nThe country has to buy about 70% of feed ingredients from overseas. Corn imports last year surged 59% to a record 7.55 million metric tons, while domestic production rose 1.5% to 5.28 million tons, according to Vietnam\u2019s agriculture ministry. Purchases of soybean meal will reach an all-time high of 5.2 million tons in 2017, up from 2.28 million in 2012, USDA data show.\nWith more mills being built, Vietnam will import more whole soybeans for processing. Purchases will reach a record 1.75 million tons next year, according to USDA. That has helped make Vietnam the 11th-largest buyer of farm products from the U.S., the world\u2019s top agricultural exporter. Cargill opened an $8.5 million plant in May that was its 11th in Vietnam and will complete construction of a $30 million mill in the second half of 2017.\nWTO to Discuss Doha Agenda, Uruguay Offers to Host Ministerial\nUruguay offered to host the World Trade Organization's (WTO) 11th ministerial conference (MC11), just two weeks after Argentina said it is interested in hosting the WTO's biennial event, with discussions about the future of the Doha Development Agenda (DDA) expected to highlight meeting.\nMembers will discuss their goals for the 2017 conference and consider Uruguay and Argentina's offers to host the ministerial conference at the WTO's July 27 general council meeting in Geneva.\nIt's not certain what members will seek to advance at the 2017 ministerial meeting due to major disagreement about whether and how WTO should address the remaining issues of the DDA.\nOver the past few months, WTO trade officials have shown interest in advancing new issues, such as a trade agreement related to international electronic commerce rules.\nMultiple WTO members also are interested in advancing a trade agreement to curb government subsidies for illegal fishing operations or other subsidies that contribute to global overfishing.\nDespite the interest in addressing these new issues, several WTO members believe that no agreements can be struck at MC11 unless it includes an accord to reduce or at least institute a standstill provision on trade-distorting subsidies for farm goods.\nMembers also are seeking a permanent solution to the debate over public stockholding programs for food security purposes before the end of next year.\nMembers may also hold a mini-ministerial conference in Oslo, Norway this fall to review a range of issues facing the multilateral trading system, Geneva trade officials told Bloomberg BNA.\nWashington Insider: Food Costs Away From Home\nMcDonald's Corp is saying that the U.S. restaurant industry will raise prices far more than supermarkets this year, a move which Reuters says is \"sending a chill\" through the restaurant sector that is grappling with a host of issues such as higher worker wages.\nThe Dow Jones U.S. Restaurants & Bars Index in the wake of McDonald's reporting disappointing earnings bell 2.2%.\nThe forecast from the world's largest fast food restaurant actually somewhat masks one of their major issues, which include state and local minimum wage increases. Some of those hikes, according to Reuters, will more than double the prevailing wage to $15 per hour.\nRestaurant food inflation is outpacing the increases at supermarkets and the gap is widening, McDonald's Chief Financial Officer Kevin Ozan said on a conference call with analysts.\nBernstein analyst Sara Senatore said restaurant companies, which are grappling with profit-squeezing minimum wage increases, use more labor than grocery stores and have the extra burden of trying to convince franchisees to hold back on price increases aimed at offsetting higher labor costs. \"Food prices are coming down, but labor is not. That's doubly bad for restaurants,\" Senatore said. \"It's hard to convince everybody to operate in lock step.\"\nWhen franchisees raise prices, she said, \"it just makes their prices look even higher relative to grocery stores.\"\nBut is McDonald's forecast all that surprising? Not really. USDA has been forecasting that food at home prices would be rising less than food away from home prices in 2016, a forecast that has been out there for several months.\nAnd USDA's latest forecast now says that food at home prices will be up just 0.25% to 1.25%. That is a major shift since the 20-year average is 2.5% and prices at grocery stores rose 1.2% in 2015 compared to 2014.\nThe food away from home, or restaurant forecast is for a rise of 2.5% to 3.5%. And the cost rise is forecast go moderate to 2% to 3% at restaurants in 2017.\nThe overall food price rise in 2017 is forecast at 1.5% to 2.5%, for a midpoint of 2%. That compares to an historical increase of 2.6%. The share that U.S. consumers pay for their food relative to their incomes remains one of the lowest around the globe. But the situation with restaurant prices has been one that has remained above the level of increases seen for grocery store prices. So while the forecast from McDonald's is not necessarily shocking, farmers do not get the \"blame\" this time around and those labor costs will remain a key component of the restaurant price situation for years to come, the Washington Insider believes.",

It's an outdoor activity in which participants use a GPS (Global Positioning System) device to hide and seek containers - known as 'geocaches' anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (like Tupperware or a film case) containing a logbook and perhaps a trinket or two for trade. The geocacher enters the date they found it and their nickname. It's a great way to get out and about, and can be addictive...\nGoogle: Google is an internet search engine: it lets you find other sites on the web based on keyword searches.

Google has grown - it's now a huge multinational business that provides email services, social media platforms, operating systems, and much more. It\u2019s so popular, that \u2018google\u2019 is now a verb: you can spend hours googling something, when you should be doing something else...\nGigabyte: A byte is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications. Historically, a byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer. The prefix 'giga' means 10 to the power 9 - so one gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 bytes. It has the symbol GB.\nGrooming: According to the Cambridge dictionary, grooming is defined as 'the criminal activity of becoming friends with a child, especially over the internet, in order to try to persuade the child to have a sexual relationship with you'.",

        "title": "New Concussion Report Calls the NFL\u2019s Future Into Question",
        "raw_content": "New Concussion Report Calls the NFL\u2019s Future Into Question\nThis has been quite the off-season for the National Football League. From the public, polarizing embarrassment of the exiling of Colin Kaepernick to the New England Patriots White House party that was conspicuously missing several Patriots, the NFL\u2019s image is anything but secure. Its worn Kevlar coating was ripped open earlier this week with a groundbreaking study by neurologist Dr. Ann McKee, published in The New York Times, about the brains of dead football players. Dr. McKee is the chief of neuropathology at the VA Boston Healthcare System and she also runs the Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center at Boston University. She has \u201camassed the largest CTE brain bank in the world.\u201d\nWe have never seen a study this comprehensive, and the findings are harrowing. They confirm the worst fears of those branded as Cassandras for condemning the harsh effects of the game. The report also brands the legions of NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell\u2019s apparatchiks and his access merchants in the media as scoundrels for arguing that better tackling techniques will save brains and that anyone who argues otherwise has some kind of secret agenda to \u201cpussify\u201d America.\nThe facts don\u2019t lie. Dr. McKee looked at the brains of 202 former football players, and 87 percent of them were found to have CTE, the degenerative traumatic brain injury believed to be caused by repeated blows to the head. Of the 111 who played in the National Football League, 110 were diagnosed with CTE.\nI contacted Chris Nowinski, the co-founder and CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, and he said the following about the McKee study: \u201cThis is the largest and most methodologically rigorous case series of athletes diagnosed with CTE ever published. The fact that CTE was found in nearly all college and professional football players examined is not surprising, following previous publications, but serves as a reminder that CTE may be more widespread among football players than previously believed.\u201d\nThe effects of CTE are harrowing: It can include early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s, dementia and has been linked to acts of random violence, acute depression, and suicide. Of the 110 former NFL players diagnoses with CTE, 44 are lineman. This matters because it further proves that CTE is not the result of the kinds of jarring, highlight-ready helmet-to-helmet hits, but instead result from the daily grind of \u2018sub-concussive hits\u2019 we never see or acknowledge: the kinds of hits that take place on almost every single play. The NFL has made a high-profile public-relations campaign out of \u2018cracking down\u2019 on the dramatically violent hits to skill players. Their announcers no longer chortle with glee when these tackles take place, instead speaking with the somber tones of an undertaker. But that is all kabuki theater. The damage happens on every play, and this is why Dr. McKee\u2019s study creates an even deeper existential threat to the very future existence of the sport.\nThe only fault one could find with the study, and it is not small, is that there is\u2014as Dr. McKee acknowledges\u2014a great deal of selection bias at work. The reason these particular brains have been studied is precisely because family members donated them to the CTE Center. Their loved ones had changed before their deaths, with ages ranging from 23\u201389, and they wanted answers. Yet the overpowering data also raise a chilling question for the NFL\u2019s very future: There are scientists currently working on a test that could detect CTE in the living. We are not talking about three-dimensional X-rays that can detect lesions or bruises on the brain, but an actual inexpensive CTE diagnosis for active athletes. If NFL players can access that science and find the beginnings of CTE\u2014cases can range from mild to severe\u2014would they retire at 24 or 25? If it can be detected in NCAA players, could the multibillion-dollar edifice of \u201camateur\u201d athletics at institutions of higher learning justify football\u2019s existence? Will universities justify brain injury in overwhelmingly black athletes for the entertainment of overwhelmingly white students? If it can be something easily detected at the high-school level, would football be impossible to insure or morally justify?\nThese are the questions that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will need to confront openly if his sport is going to have a future. Or he could just say that the report is \u201cfake news.\u201d That also seems to be working well these days, and such a move will undoubtedly be supported by more than a few of his bosses in the owner\u2019s box. Let\u2019s hope Commissioner Goodell has more character than the person that NFL owners supported to become president.",

        "raw_content": "Brownfield site regeneration targets boost research into new solutions\nThe massive scale of contaminated land in the UK and the need to regenerate polluted sites is stimulating major advances in r&d over a wide range of technological and managerial solutions.\nThe Government is maintaining its commitment to regenerating brownfield land despite having fallen foul of the European Commission which ruled that the UK's Partnership Investment Programme breached State aid rules.\nHilary Armstrong, Minister for Local Government and the Regions at the DETR, commented: \"The Government attaches a high priority to the physical regeneration of contaminated or derelict land and buildings and is determined to find a new way of delivering the type of projects which had previously been supported by the Partnership Investment Programme.\"\nThe Minister said that the Government was \"vigorously pursuing alternative approaches with the European Commission and I am confident that we will find a solution to this problem together.\"\nTransitional arrangements have been agreed to allow over 300 projects to go ahead.\nIn the last year PIP provided \u00a3200 million worth of support to projects, levering in \u00a3567 million of private investment, which together regenerated 1,300 ha of land, created or safeguarded 29,000 jobs, built 7,500 housing units, and created 860,000 m2 of industrial/commercial floorspace.\nThe Minister said: \"We have allocated significant additional resources in the Spending Review 2000 to help compensate for the closure of PIP. Regional Development Agencies will receive an extra \u00a360 million this year and an extra \u00a3150 million next year to start to deliver key Government and regional development targets.\"\nPump-priming by the Government or other is the key to the regeneration of the UK's massive legacy of contaminated land for which the Environment Agency concedes there is no reliable estimate, in terms of affected sites or the overall scale of the consequent problem.\nThe Agency, which plays a leading role in undertaking research into this area, through its National Groundwater and Contaminated Land Centre, estimates that some 300,000-plus hectares of land are affected, covering between 5,000 and 20,000 \"problem\" sites.\nSuccess in former coalfields\nHilary Armstrong has reported a success in the regeneration of former coalfields areas, citing new research completed for the DETR. In many former coalfield areas the legacy of physical contamination and problems of physical access have been tackled effectively, with the Government regeneration agency, English Partnerships, playing a key role. But further regeneration needs to take place, the research concludes; whilst quality of life has improved for most, there are remaining health and education inequalities, and some of these issues are highly localised.\nThe local nature of some problems is underlined by the Environment Agency's new Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) Action Plan for the Burton, Nuneaton and Tamworth area. One of the issues being considered is the risk of contaminated run-off from mining operations, both operating and closed, getting into controlled water courses.\nStimulus to research and development\nRegeneration of contaminated sites is boosting research and development across a wide range of academic and industrial organisations and coming up with new solutions to remediate polluted land.\nThe Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) recently completed a review of bioremediation research in the UK, in conjunction with EPSRC and NERC. Other public sector research sponsors involved in the review were the DTI, DETR and the Environment Agency. The purpose of the review was to assess current Research Council support for bioremediation and advise on the future direction of research and division of responsibility needed to ensure the support of first class science in this area and its exploitation in the UK's national interest.\nIn the housebuilding sector, which has a key role to play in meeting the Government's declared target of seeing 60% of all new housing being built on brownfield land, the Construction Industry Environmental Forum reports that the NHBC, which registers housebuilders, has introduced a Standard requiring developers to investigate both greenfield and brownfield sites.",

        "title": "Grassroots Activists Reaching Out to Parents - Education Week",
        "raw_content": "Grassroots Activists Reaching Out to Parents\nVeronica Rivera is a foot soldier in the movement to spread the gospel about free tutoring to public school parents.\nIn the morning, she serves as a translator and advocate for a Latina mother meeting with a Camden, N.J., principal. In the afternoon, she leads an intensive training session for Hispanic parents at an adult education center. Just before dinner, she stops off to visit a Latino family for a one-on-one chat. At night, Ms. Rivera is the featured speaker at a church.\nHer audience: parents who often have never heard of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, and know nothing of their children's right to receive free tutoring under the law's \"supplemental educational services\" provisions.\nLast fall, the U.S. Department of Education awarded $1.3 million in grants to three organizations to reach out to minority families in 10 cities with information about their options under the law, including their right to transfer to other schools.\n\"We are training parents to find ways to better their children's education,\" said Ms. Rivera, a Camden-based field organizer for the Hispanic Council for Reform and Educational Options, known as Hispanic CREO. Using part of its $500,000 federal grant, the group has trained more than 2,300 parents nationwide.\nThe need is urgent, Ms. Rivera and representatives of organizations that have received the grants say. Many school districts so far have made only flawed and inadequate attempts to inform parents about their children's educational choices, critics and advocates for students complain.\nConfronted with uninformed or confused parents, field organizers say they are left to make sense of district guidelines and encourage frustrated parents to assert their rights. The federal-grant recipients are using billboards and radio advertisements in English and Spanish, community meetings and workshops, door-to-door campaigns, appearances on local-access cable shows, and easy-to-read letters and fliers to reach their audience.\n\"It's not a matter of pointing fingers,\" Ms. Rivera said. \"It's collaboration to make the schools better.\"\nJargon and Complexity\nUnder the No Child Left Behind law, schools that receive Title I funding and fail to reach state goals for \"adequate yearly progress\" for three years must offer supplemental services to poor children, using Title I money. (\"Tutoring Aid Falling Short of Mandate,\" Feb. 25, 2004.)\nAdvocacy organizations that have been monitoring the implementation of the supplemental-services provision say districts have sent jargon-filled, complex letters to parents. Sometimes letters are sent in the wrong language, said one Chicago advocate: \"If your name was Lopez, you got a letter in Spanish.\"\nOther common criticisms include: no attempts to reach parents, beyond an initial letter. Short enrollment periods to sign students up for tutoring programs. Inconvenient tutoring sites that stymie parents without transportation. Limited choice of providers of tutoring services.\n\"It was so technical and so thick, we knew parents wouldn't even read [the tutoring letter],\" said Merrilyn Wilcox, a Detroit grandmother and the president of a local school committee in a building where only a handful of the almost 300 eligible children are being tutored. \"It's as if they did not realize ... you have children raising children.\"\nIn Chicago, a federation of local school council members filed a complaint with the Illinois education department, calling the tutoring program a \"bureaucratic nightmare.\" Xavier E. Botana, the Chicago schools' director of No Child Left Behind accountability, said the district made \"strong efforts\" to reach out to parents, including developing a tutoring hotline.\nIn addition to Ms. Rivera's employer, the Washington- based Hispanic CREO, the federal Education Department awarded grants to the Black Alliance for Educational Options, or BAEO, also based in Washington, which is working with parents in Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia, and the Indianapolis-based Greater Educational Opportunities Foundation, which is targeting parents in Denver and Gary, Ind. Hispanic CREO is helping families in Camden, Miami, and the Texas cities of Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio.\nAll three organizations support and promote school choice, including publicly funded vouchers.\nNina Shokraii Rees, the deputy undersecretary in charge of the Education Department's office of innovation and improvement, said that at the most basic level, districts have to send a letter to parents. Informational fairs highlighting the offerings available from tutoring providers are being held \"sporadically,\" she said.\n\"To really help parents understand, ideally districts need to do more, and most are not doing that,\" she said in an interview last month.\nOutside Their Realm\nMonique D. Miller, the executive director of Project Clarion, BAEO's parent-outreach effort, said outside organizations had to become involved in fostering greater parental awareness.\n\"We knew school districts would not go out of their way to make sure that parents are informed and understood the provisions,\" she said.\nBut Jennifer Harmon, the deputy director of the supplemental educational services quality center at the American Institutes for Research, in Washington, said it was too early to assess districts' effectiveness in implementing the 2-year-old tutoring provision.\nAIR received a $1 million, two-year grant to develop ways to raise awareness of tutoring; increase the number of providers; and coordinate the efforts of those working to meet both of those goals.\nSchool districts, Ms. Harmon suggested, have limited experience in reaching out to parents, who may have a range of literacy skills. Reaching individual parents about specific options is often outside their realm. As a result, Ms. Harmon said, some districts are relying solely on the federal guidelines.\nBart Leff, the spokesman for the Camden public schools in New Jersey, said: \"I think we've done a better job than most in letting our parents know about supplemental services.\nMr. Leff explained that the district sent parents an informational flier and held a town meeting in November that drew roughly 200 people. The meeting is shown frequently on the local-access cable channel. The 18,500- student district is able to pay for tutoring for 1,800 students; 1,400 are now being served, and another 300 are scheduled to begin receiving tutoring next month.\nCarmen Malavez received a notice from the Camden schools about the tutoring option for her son Juan Castellano, 12, who has speech problems and has been suspended from school multiple times.\nShe filled out the notice. Then she filled out a second form at school. But nothing happened. \"I thought he didn't qualify for the program,\" she said in Spanish.\nMs. Malavez got in touch with Hispanic CREO after learning about the group's parent-training sessions at a local church. Ms. Rivera, the Camden organizer for the group, then accompanied the mother of four to Juan's middle school to speak with the principal last month.\nIf it weren't for Ms. Rivera's insistence, Ms. Malavez believes her son would not be enrolled in tutoring sessions today.\nAssistant Editors Catherine Gewertz and Mary Ann Zehr contributed to this report.\nPublished in Print: March 17, 2004, as Grassroots Activists Reaching Out to Parents\n\"Studies, Sit-Ins Earn ACORN's Activists Voice in Education,\" Feb. 18, 2004.\n\"More Students Transfer Schools, But Total Is Small, Study Reports,\" Jan. 21, 2004.\n\"Projects Strive to Aid Parents on Federal Law,\" Nov. 5, 2003.\n\"Parent Power,\" Oct. 22, 2003.\n\"Public Ignorant of 'No Child' Law, Poll Finds,\" Sept. 3, 2003.\nFor background, previous stories, and Web links, read Parent Involvement and No Child Left Behind.\nThe Black Alliance for Educational Options is to inform parents in several major cities of their rights under the No Child Left Behind Act.

The company ended the year with $17.6 billion in cash and investments.\nJoe Tucci, EMC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, \u201cOur fourth-quarter results are further evidence that our federation strategy across EMC Information Infrastructure, VMware and Pivotal is on target. There's no doubt that the move from the second platform to the third platform of IT, underpinned by the mega trends of mobile, cloud, Big Data and social, is having a profound impact on business and transforming the way we work and live. Customers and partners have these transformations in their sights and are embracing EMC's vision, strategy and best-of-breed portfolio to capitalize on them.\u201d\nDavid Goulden, CEO of EMC Information Infrastructure and EMC's Chief Financial Officer, said, \u201cDespite 2013 IT spend growth that was lower than we expected, EMC achieved strong revenue and profit growth. This outperformance relative to our industry speaks to the power of the EMC portfolio, solid operational and financial model and consistent execution against our strategy. We entered 2014 exceptionally well positioned to grow faster this year than our IT spending growth projection while also gaining share in the markets we serve.\u201d\nFor the fourth quarter, EMC's Information Storage business accelerated revenue growth to 10% year over year. EMC's Emerging Storage business4 accelerated revenue to 73% year over year , propelled by the very successful launch of EMC XtremIO and continued strong growth of EMC Isilon, EMC Atmos and EMC VPLEX products. The company's Unified and Backup Recovery business5 increased revenue 11% year over year, benefitting from the recent product launches of the next-generation EMC VNX and EMC Data Domain product lines. Revenue from EMC's High-end Storage business6 returned to growth in the fourth quarter as customers continued to turn to the company's popular VMAX family. Revenue growth from EMC's RSA Information Security business and EMC's Information Intelligence business accelerated to 17% and 3% year over year, respectively.\nVCE had an excellent fourth quarter as demand for Vblock systems showed strong year-over-year growth. EMC's VSPEX reference architecture portfolio continued to extend its market leadership with rapid adoption and increasing popularity among customers and partners. Additionally, EMC's Cloud Service Provider Partner program continued in the quarter as the company's fastest-growing vertical market segment.\nIn the fourth quarter, VMware (NYSE: VMW) continued to excel because it is uniquely positioned to help customers move from the client-server era to the mobile-cloud era of computing. As VMware helps customers bridge to this new world and lays the foundation for the build out of the software-defined data center, it is enabling them to achieve new levels of efficiency, control and agility.\nPivotal continued to make progress during the quarter. In the nine months since its formation, Pivotal has met the objectives it set out to accomplish in 2013: meeting its financial goals, establishing a strong executive leadership team and launching Pivotal One, a comprehensive, multi-cloud Enterprise PaaS comprised of a set of application and data services that run on top of Pivotal CF, the leading enterprise distribution of the Cloud Foundry platform.\nEMC's consolidated fourth-quarter revenue from the United States increased 11% year over year to $3.5 billion, representing 52% of consolidated fourth-quarter revenue. Revenue from EMC's business operations outside of the United States increased 11% year over year to $3.2 billion and represented 48% of consolidated fourth-quarter revenue. Within this, on a year-over-year basis, revenue from EMC's Europe, Middle East and Africa region grew 15%, revenue from EMC's Asia Pacific and Japan region increased 1%, and revenue from EMC's Latin America region grew 12%.

These statements supersede all prior statements made by EMC regarding 2014 financial results.\nConsolidated revenues are expected to be $24.5 billion for 2014. Consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are expected to be 22% of the full-year revenue.\nConsolidated GAAP operating income is expected to be 18% of revenues for 2014 and consolidated non-GAAP7 operating income is expected to be 25% of revenues for 2014.\nConsolidated GAAP earnings per weighted average diluted share are expected to be $1.38 for 2014 and consolidated non-GAAP7 earnings per weighted average diluted share are expected to be $1.95 for 2014.\nConsolidated GAAP earnings per weighted average diluted share are expected to be $0.19 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and consolidated non-GAAP7 earnings per weighted average diluted share are expected to be $0.35 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.\nThe consolidated GAAP income tax rate is expected to be 23% for 2014 and the consolidated non-GAAP7 income tax rate is expected to be 23.5% for 2014.

All other trademarks used are the property of their respective owners.\nWhere specified in the accompanying schedules for various periods entitled \"Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP,\" (a) certain items noted on each such specific schedule (including, where noted, amounts relating to stock-based compensation expense, intangible asset amortization, restructuring and acquisition-related charges, the amortization of VMware's capitalized software from prior periods beginning in 2012, a net gain on disposition of certain lines of business and other, an RSA special charge, a loss on interest rate swaps, a gain on strategic investment and special tax items) are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures and (b) the benefit of the R&D tax credit for 2012 is included in the non-GAAP financial measures for the full year 2012 and excluded in the non-GAAP results for the full year 2013.\nEMC's management uses the non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying schedules to gain an understanding of EMC's comparative operating performance (when comparing such results with previous periods or forecasts) and future prospects and includes the benefit of the R&D tax credit in, and excludes the above-listed items from, its internal financial statements for purposes of its internal budgets and each reporting segment's financial goals. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by EMC's management in their financial and operating decision-making because management believes they reflect EMC's ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. EMC's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others (a) in understanding and evaluating EMC's current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose, and (b) in comparing in a consistent manner the Company's current financial results with the Company's past financial results.\nThis release also includes disclosures regarding free cash flow which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment and capitalized software development costs. EMC uses free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs. Management believes that information regarding free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to make strategic acquisitions and investments, repurchase shares, pay dividends, service debt and fund ongoing operations. As free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, free cash flow should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of cash flows.\nDavid Goulden Discusses EMC's Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2013 Financial Results\nFinancials - Excel Version\nEven Though 79% Think Big Data Will Improve Decision Making, One-Third Have No Big Data Plans\nChina Rates Itself As World\u2019s #1 In Deploying Technologies To Establish Trusted IT Infrastructure\nEMC Announces General Availability of XtremIO All-Flash Array\nProtect and Enable: New EMC Syncplicity Features Up the Ante\nThe Wait is Over!

        "raw_content": "Home People History North American indigenous peoples: Biographies Osceola\nOsceola 1804-1838\nOsceola (ah-see-oh-la) was a warrior and chief of the Seminole Indian tribe during the Indian removal from Florida to unsettled U.S. territory in the West during the early 1800s. His significance in the academy and the social sciences is linked to issues related to Native American identity and the political relationship between Native Americans and the U.S. government. Significant as well is his historical relationship to African slaves and contemporary African Americans\u2019 tenuous relationship to Native American tribes\u2014the Seminoles in particular, but also the Choctaw, Creek, Cherokee, and Chickasaw, who were removed from their original homelands in the southeastern United States to their present, primary home in Oklahoma.\nOsceola is seen as a major figure in securing the rights of Seminoles and other native peoples during the colonial period\u2014not through signing agreements and treaties with agents of the U.S. governments, as some tribal leaders had done, but through guerrilla warfare tactics that kept the U.S. military at bay for a long time and so slowed the removal of Seminoles and the taking of Seminole lands. Osceola has also been viewed as a symbol of the ancestral mixture that formally and informally linked African peoples to the Indian tribes, a link that fuels contemporary claims to tribal government benefits.\nThe Seminoles in Florida were remnants of other Indian tribes that fled to Florida and established a lifestyle, culture, and politics that were indigenous and self-governing. Osceola strenuously objected to the United States\u2019s offer to buy Seminole Florida lands in exchange for removal and settlement to open territory west of the Mississippi. Though his position differed from those of many of his tribal brethren, he found allies among another group of wanderers who had fled to Florida\u2014free Africans and fugitive slaves who had several years before merged with the Florida Seminoles. These freedmen and fugitives\u2014referred to by the Seminoles as Estelusti \u2014joined the faction of Seminoles led by Osceola in opposing relocation, fighting alongside them in the Seminole Wars.\nAlthough these \u201cBlack Seminoles\u201d were loyal to the Seminole tribe, adopting many of their customs, intermarrying, and settling with them in the new Indian Territories in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, and other surrounding states, neither the Seminoles nor whites during that period recognized them as official tribe members. Later, when the Dawes Act of 1887 required a census of Native American tribal members, Black Seminoles\u2014 referred to as Freemen\u2014were counted as part of the tribal role, and received allotments of tribal lands. As a result of Jim Crow laws enacted after Oklahoma statehood, Black Seminoles were physically separated from their Seminole tribal brethren and their legal status as official tribal members was called into question. The ensuing controversy lasts until the present, in large part due to the refusal of the Bureau of Indian Affairs to grant official certificates of Indian blood to Black Seminoles not originally on the Dawes rolls. Blacks were officially enrolled as tribe members and recognized as such by the federal government. In 1991 the federal government awarded the Seminoles $56 million for their Florida lands, but nonblack members of the tribe claimed that the black members had no claim to share in the award. This prompted black members of the tribe to file suit in federal court; in one argument, they pointed to the original relationship their ancestors had with Osceola (and one of his wives who was African descent) and their loyalty in fighting with him as a reason that they should be recognized as full tribal members.\nSEE ALSO African Americans; Guerrilla Warfare; Indigenous Rights; Land Claims; Native Americans; Reparations; Resistance\nHartley, William B., and Ellen Hartley. 1973.

His mother's second husband was William Powell, a Scottish trader, but Osceola, sometimes called Powell, was a full-blooded Creek.\nIn 1808 Osceola and his mother moved to Florida. They were associated with the Seminoles, and with them Osceola fought in the War of 1812 and in 1818 against American troops under Andrew Jackson. By 1832 Osceola was living near Ft. King in Florida. Apparently he was not hostile, for he was employed occasionally by the Indian agent to pacify restless tribesmen. Such activities gradually brought him to prominence among the Seminoles.\nIn 1832, however, the United States government was under pressure to move the Seminoles west of the Mississippi River. Some Seminole chiefs were persuaded to sign a treaty of removal. Osceola opposed this, as he did a similar agreement made in 1835. Most Seminole chiefs signified their disagreement by refusing to touch the pen; Osceola did so by plunging his knife into the paper. He was arrested for this defiance. To secure his release, he pretended that he would work for approval for the treaty. By now a Seminole war chief, once freed, he began gathering warriors for battle.\nOn Dec. 28, 1835, Osceola and his warriors brutally murdered the agent Wiley Thompson and Chief Charley Emathla, thereby precipitating the Second Seminole War. With Indian followers and fugitive slaves, Osceola overcame many enemies during the next 2 years.\nThe first of his major battles occurred when Osceola killed Maj. Francis L. Dade and 110 soldiers. Days later, with 200 followers, he fought against Gen. Duncan L. Clinch and 600 soldiers. Wounded, he was forced to retreat. On June 8, 1836, he was repelled at a fortified post, but on August 16 he almost overwhelmed Ft. Drane. Osceola's fight was so successful that it led to widespread public criticism of the U.S. Army, especially of Gen. Thomas S. Jesup, who ordered Osceola's arrest while under a flag of truce on Oct. 21, 1837.\nThe captured Seminole chief was imprisoned at Ft. Marion, Fla., then removed to Ft. Moultrie, S.C. He died there on Jan. 30, 1838, of unknown causes.\nA full-length biography of Osceola is James B. Ransom, Osceola (1838). Information on him is in Theodore Pratt, Seminole: A Drama of the Florida Indian (1953), and Alvin Josephy, Jr., The Patriot Chiefs: A Chronicle of American Indian Leadership (1961). A good general study of the Seminole problem is Edwin C. McReynolds, The Seminoles (1957). For an overview of the war which Osceola commanded see John K. Mahon, History of the Second Seminole War (1967). \u25a1\n\"Osceola.\" Encyclopedia of World Biography. .

He was never a chief.\nDispossessed by Andrew Jackson's settlement of the Creek War of 1813\u201314, he and part of his family migrated southward into the Spanish Floridas. His plight and passion captured the imagination of the U.S. press, which romanticized Osceola as a symbol of Indian resistance to forced removal. Acquisition of the territory by the United States in 1821 increased tensions, and the young warrior spoke vehemently against the treaties by which the United States sought to confine Florida Indians to peninsular reservations. Imprisoned for several days by U.S. Indian agent Wiley Thompson in 1835, Osceola determined to fight removal. Along with tribal leaders, he planned the opening gambits of the Second Seminole War.\nOn 28 December 1835, Osceola murdered Agent Thompson at Fort King (Ocala) as his compatriots were attacking a U.S. Army column under Maj. Francis Dade en route there. Two days later, he was one of the leaders of the Battle of the Withlacoochee, in which U.S. regulars and volunteers were routed by the numerically inferior Indian forces. He led warriors throughout 1836\u201337 although his health declined.\nOn 21 October 1837, Osceola was captured by U.S. troops, while under a white flag of truce, near St. Augustine, East Florida. He was transferred from Fort Marion (St. Augustine) to Fort Moultrie, South Carolina, where he died a prisoner on 30 January 1838.\n[See also Native Americans, U.S. Military Relations with; Native American Wars: Wars Between Native Americans and Europeans and Euro\u2010Americans; Seminole Wars.]\nJohn K.

He was also called Powell, the surname of his supposed white father. In the early 1830s, Osceola was living close to Fort King, near the site of Ocala, Fla. Although not a chief, he rose to a position of prominence among the Seminole and led the young warriors who denounced the treaties of 1832 and 1833, which provided for the removal of the Native Americans to the West. In Dec., 1835, Osceola's warriors killed Wiley Thompson, the Indian agent in charge of the removal. U.S. troops under General Jesup drove his band southward into the Everglades, but Osceola, skillfully using guerrilla tactics, resisted capture. Fighting ceased early in 1837, only to break out again in June. Overtures for peace were sent to Osceola, and he agreed to meet with Jesup in St. Augustine under a flag of truce. Jesup, never intending to discuss peace, had Osceola seized and imprisoned at Fort Moultrie, S.C., where he died shortly afterward.\nSee study by W. and E.

Given that the machinery was not in use and was being steam cleaned there was no risk to the local\nenvironment or to any other employees.\n\u201cThe circumstances leading to the incident were subject to a full and thorough internal investigation and the Health & Safety Executive were kept fully informed.\n\u201cRecommendations to prevent reoccurrence were identified by Petroineos and these were immediately acted upon.\n\u201cThe Company\u2019s high level of cooperation and proactive response was commented upon by the Health & Safety Executive.\n\u201cPetroineos takes its responsibility for the safety and health for employees, contract personnel and neighbours very seriously, and is fully committed to its continuing delivery of\nresponsible health, safety and environmental performance across all its operations.\u201d\nMaersk Oil hit with improvement notice from HSE",

Baldassarre\nSYRACUSE, N.Y.\u0097A wildlife biologist at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) has been appointed a Distinguished Teaching Professor by the SUNY Board of Trustees.\nDr. Guy A. Baldassarre received the prestigious honor Tuesday, April 20, along with 15 other SUNY faculty members. Nine SUNY faculty members were appointed Distinguished Service Professors. An appointment to Distinguished Faculty rank is the university's highest faculty designation.\n\"It is with great pleasure that the Board of Trustees appoints to the rank of Distinguished Teaching Professor and Distinguished Service Professor 25 of our most esteemed faculty,\" said Board Chair Thomas F. Egan. \"These members of the university's faculty have achieved national and international prominence in their chosen field and reflect the excellence and quality of the State University of New York.\"\nBaldassarre joined ESF as an assistant professor in 1987 after teaching at Auburn University in Alabama.

The active substance of Herzuma is trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody (ATC code: L01XC03) that binds with high affinity and specificity to HER2 leading to the inhibition of proliferation of tumour cells that overexpress HER2.\nHerzuma is a biosimilar medicinal product. It is highly similar to the reference product Herceptin (trastuzumab), which was authorised in the EU on 28 August 2000. Data show that Herzuma has comparable quality, safety and efficacy to Herceptin.\nThe full list of indications is:\nHerzuma is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC):\nin combination with paclitaxel for the treatment of those patients who have not received\nchemotherapy for their metastatic disease and for whom an anthracycline is not suitable.\nHerzuma is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HER2 positive early breast cancer (EBC):\nin combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by adjuvant Herzuma therapy, for locally advanced (including inflammatory) disease or tumours > 2 cm in diameter.\nHerzuma should only be used in patients with metastatic or early breast cancer whose tumours have either HER2 overexpression or HER2 gene amplification as determined by an accurate and validated assay.\nHerzuma in combination with capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with HER2 positive metastatic adenocarcinoma of the stomach or gastro-esophageal junction who have not received prior anti-cancer treatment for their metastatic disease.\nHerzuma should only be used in patients with metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) whose tumours have HER2 overexpression as defined by IHC2+ and a confirmatory SISH or FISH result, or by an IHC 3+ result. Accurate and validated assay methods should be used.\nIt is proposed that Herzuma should only be initiated by a physician experienced in the administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy, and should be administered by a healthcare professional only.",

        "raw_content": "Getty ImagesJosh Edelson\nSometimes, the spirit of American entrepreneurship astonishes even me.\nBut those enterprises have not been immune to competition and the lingering effects of the Great Recession, so the small tribe of 400 is undertaking a new venture \u2014 opening the nation's first marijuana resort on its reservation. The experiment could offer a new money-making model for tribes nationwide seeking economic opportunities beyond casinos. Santee Sioux leaders plan to grow their own pot and sell it in a smoking lounge that includes a nightclub, arcade games, bar and food service, and eventually, slot machines and an outdoor music venue. \"We want it to be an adult playground,\" tribal President Anthony Reider said. \"There's nowhere else in America that has something like this.\"\nNot since Quicksilver stopped touring, anyway.\nThe project, according to the tribe, could generate up to $2 million a month in profit, and work already is underway on the growing facility. The first joints are expected to go on sale Dec. 31 at a New Year's Eve party.\nHoly mackerel. Two million a month? And no exploding trains? Beats the oil boom all to hell.\nMany tribes are hesitant to jump into the pot business. And not everyone in Flandreau, about 45 miles north of Sioux Falls, believes in the project. But the profit potential has attracted the interest of many other tribes, just as the debut of slot machines and table games almost 27 years ago. \"The vast majority of tribes have little to no economic opportunity,\" said Blake Trueblood, business development director at the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development. For those tribes, \"this is something that you might look at and say, 'We've got to do something.'\" Flandreau's indoor marijuana farm is set against a backdrop of soybean fields. If not for a security booth outside, the building could pass as an industrial warehouse. Inside, men are working to grow more than 30 different strains of the finicky plant, including those with names like \"Gorilla Glue,\" \"Shot Glass\" and \"Big Blue Cheese.\"\nCarpe diem, folks, because, within a decade, it's likely that recreational weed is going to be legal and (probably) controlled by informal cartels with familiar names like R.J. Reynolds and/or Seagrams. But I think creating a full-service adult destination resort is a much better idea than fracking the Black Hills into rubble.\nAlaska Joins the Legalized Weed Union\nThe Best Reasons to Legalize Marijuana\nFortified Wine Is the Next Big Thing in Cocktails\nCalifornia, Nevada, More Voted Yes on Legal Weed\nAll the States That Have Legalized Weed\nCanada Just Legalized Marijuana for All Canadians",

It\u2019s called intravenous therapy \u2013 and it\u2019s been the secret weapon of top celebrities the world over\u2026 Until now, that is!\nOriginally developed as a way to help cancer patients whose vitamin levels had been depleted by chemotherapy, intravenous therapy has now become a popular form of health supplementation among the wealthy and famous. Direct delivery of key nutrients into the blood stream ensures that higher concentrations reach the body\u2019s cells where they can be more effectively absorbed and utilised.\nThe substances used in intravenous therapy are all considered \u201cessential for life\u201d and include a variety of vitamins, mineral and nutrients. In fact, all of the nutrients listed in the previous article on page 5 can be found in just one formulation (anti-ageing). There are also other specific formulations for boosting the immune system, increasing energy levels, enhancing athletic performance, dieting and detoxifying the body, and reducing stress levels.\nAll of these treatments are now available to our patients at Euro Dental Care and Euro Skin Care.\nThe formulations are safe and have been thoroughly researched and developed by the medical and nutritional team at Intravita.\nThe treatments are suitable for both men and women of any age and background and are equally-suitable whether you work at a desk all day or have a more active lifestyle.\nMany patients start to notice the effects of the treatment during the IV therapy session itself, and these then continue over the following hours and days.\nFeedback on IV therapy has been extremely positive. Grace Gold, a writer for WomensHealthMag.com was asked to review an anti-ageing Intravenous Vitamin Therapy for the website. Her first impression was surprise when she noted that her energy levels hadn\u2019t dipped as they usually did in the afternoon after her treatment. The next day when she met her publicist, she was told, \u201cyour skin is glowing!\u201d\nGold noted in her review of the treatment that \u201cthe fine lines under my eyes seemed smoother, and my cheeks looked rosier and plumper \u2013 like I had slept in on a Saturday and had been drinking cucumber water all day. I was even able to use less concealer under my eyes\u2026\u201d\nFinally she remarked that her skin did \u201cseem to retain its healthy rested glow\u2026 and definitely for longer than the fleeting results I see from a typical spa facial.\u201d\nThe Intravita anti-ageing treatment we provide is designed to restore collagen, stimulate elastin production, brighten the skin, even skin tone and to hydrate and rejuvenate. It also contains a high dose of glutathione (\u201cthe mother of all antioxidants\u201d) which will give you a real anti-ageing boost!\nWe offer the complete range of Intravita treatments, so if you\u2019d like to give one of them a try, why not get in touch with us and book an initial consultation? We\u2019ll explain the treatment to you and answer any questions you may have.\nContact us today on 0121 428 2999 or at [email protected].",

        "raw_content": "HD photographs of the David vainqueur de Goliath statue inside Jardin du Luxembourg - Page 391\nWe were again within the popular tourist attraction of the Jardin du Luxembourg, which is located in the 6th Arrondissement of Paris, when we took these high definition photos of a statue called David vainqueur de Goliath.\nSo this first HD photo shows the statue on its tall column, and this is located in the green area next to the large basin in the formal garden area of the Luxembourg Gardens, and as you can see, the Palais du Luxembourg is in the background.\nYet this next photo shows a close up of the back of the statue named David vanqueur de Goliath, which in English translates to David winner of Goliath, or David conquers Goliath, and the original statue is thought to be one of the oldest within the Jardin du Luxembourg.\nAnd this photo shows the large basin within the gardens and we were standing on the eastern side when we took this photo of the statue on its exceedingly tall column, and to give you more of a perspective as to its location, the Palais du Luxembourg would be to the right hand side of the image.\nNow some sources state that the original statue may have dated from the 1500s, but the French Senate who reside at the former royal palace of the Luxembourg Gardens states that it was more than like put in place when the gardens were remodelled in the 1800s, although the statue itself could still be much older.\nHowever, the statue of David vanqueurs de Goliath that you can see in this close up high definition photo is actually a cast of the original marble statue, which was produced in 1993, so that the marble statue could be restored.\nBut rather than put the original marble statue back on the top of the column, this was placed within the Palais du Luxembourg so that it would not deteriorate further through weather damage, and therefore, since 1993, everyone visiting these free public gardens will see the exact copy, or cast.\nAnd this statue of David Winner of Goliath is actually only 1.5 metres in height, which gives you a greater idea of how tall the column is, and this is classed as one of the statues within the series of antique statues, but unfortunately there is no documentation that has been found to ascertain who actually sculpted this originally.",

Check out this story on eveningsun.com: http://evesun.co/1RqOnu9\nStock image of a landline phone(Photo11: Ciaran Griffin, Getty Images)\n\"I'm actually working on a design for my back with 717 in it,\" he said.\nSitzler had not heard about a potential split of the 717 area code. The area code, first established in 1947, is expected to be exhausted of options by the end of 2018, according to a news release from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.\nLibrary leaks could cost Hanover Borough\nThe commission is looking at options that will fix the problem. One possibility is instituting an overlay, which would mean all new numbers in the 16-county region in southcentral Pennsylvania would get a new area code, or splitting the region in half and giving one half a new area code.\nSo there stood Sitzler, pondering whether he should move forward with a 717 tattoo.\n\"I think I'd still do it even if it changed,\" he said. \"The 717 is where I'm from, nothing can change that. I grew up here.\"\nThe commission recently voted 5-0 in favor of delaying splitting the area code, saying it is seeking public input before any changes are made.\nDianna Batter, of East Berlin, hopes the commission will find a way to keep the region the same, even if it means adding another area code, she said. To her, 717 isn't just a group of numbers or an area code, but a sense of pride and memory.\n\"I raised my three kids here,\" the 37-year-old mother said. \"No matter where you are in the world, you can look back here and say, 'That's the 717. That's where I live.'\"\nMan charged after undercover investigation\nA geographical split would create a 71-year supply of phone numbers, LNP reported. It's not quite clear what areas could be affected by a potential split, but to Thomas Stallings, it doesn't really matter, he said. It's about the town, not a region, the 55-year-old said.\n\"It seems silly that people would get worked up about this,\" he said. \"I've moved, I think, six times in my life. I was born in California and moved to Colorado when I was a teen. I don't worry about being from the 408 or anything like that. I just remember the people I met.\"\nRobin Tilley, deputy press secretary at the commission, wants people to understand that there are no guarantees. While some may feel very strongly about the area code, no one can predict what the future holds, she said.\nTilley goes back to 2010, when experts predicted the area code would be exhausted of options by now, she said.\n\"It didn't happen then, so we can't be 100 percent certain about it now,\" she said.\nAs of September, there were 45 NXX codes remaining, according to a petition presented to the public utility commission. NXX codes are the three digits dialed after the area code.\nNXX codes don't get assigned too often. In 2015, 12 codes were assigned. The year before that, 15 codes were assigned, according to the petition. At its current pace, the 717 still has around two to three years at its current projection until all codes are assigned.\nMike Argento and other staffers at the York Daily-Record contributed to this report.\nRead or Share this story: http://evesun.co/1RqOnu9",

        "title": "Settling Down in HEC Paris - exchangebuddy",
        "raw_content": "by ExchangeBuddy | Mar 19, 2017 | Europe, United Kingdom | 1 comment\nExchange University: HEC Paris\nEnjoys: Good music, dogs\nmuseums are fun (:\nHello, Michelle here! It\u2019s been two very exciting weeks since I\u2019ve arrived in HEC Paris! The \u2018Paris\u2019 in the school\u2019s name is a little misleading \u2013 we\u2019re actually located near a very small and very quiet town called Jouy-en-Josas, about 16km from central Paris. I feel like I\u2019ve more or less settled down quite well here so far, so here are a few quick tips for settling down if you\u2019re thinking of heading to Paris for exchange in the future\n1) FOOD & WATER.\nThe school canteen food is actually pretty great, in my opinion. At 3-5 euros, it\u2019s much cheaper than eating outside, which would set you back by at least 12 euros per meal. It\u2019s buffet style, so you pay for what you take! There\u2019s salad, mousse, baguettes, desserts, etc, so you can try different things every day. We pay using our student card, which can be loaded with money at the canteen. Sadly it only opens for about 1-2h at a time during lunch and dinner so if you miss it, you\u2019ll have to find your own food. Thankfully, there\u2019s a Simply supermarket just across the road from the campus, so it\u2019s not hard to get groceries to cook for yourself!\nGrocery shopping is super fun. Everything looks really fresh and nice here, and it\u2019s quite fun going down the aisles just to look at what the French like to eat, and how different everything is here. They\u2019re quite environmentally friendly here, so you should bring your own shopping bag to carry your purchases back.\nThe tap water is cloudy due to the presence of minerals so not everyone would be used to it. Consider bringing a travel kettle to boil the water, using a water filter, or just buying water from the supermarket if you\u2019re worried.\nMost students on exchange to HEC Paris will be living on campus, be it in individual rooms or with a roommate, so I\u2019ll start from here. The campus itself is pretty small and concentrated, to walking to the entrance should only take about 5-10min. Here you can take the GHP shuttle bus which will take you to the nearest train station, Gare du Jouy-en-Josas, for 2 euros, in about 15min. You should check the timings of the shuttle bus to avoid waiting too long.\nAt the train station, you can purchase a ticket (billet) from the ticket counter on weekdays for your destination. The nearest city is Versailles, and the station, Gare du Versailles-Chantiers, is only two stops away by RER C! A ride there will cost you 1.90 euros. Taking the train in the opposite direction will take you on a long journey to the city centre, and this could take about 45min to an hour, not including waiting time.\nwhen you have nothing to do while waiting, take a selfie\nNOTE: You should give a lot of time because the wait can be frustratingly long, and train delays, disruptions, and strikes can happen anytime! Also, try to avoid taking the taxi \u2013 it\u2019s expensive.\nAn alternative is to get the Navigo pass, which can also be purchased at the ticket counter (open on weekdays and Saturday mornings). It\u2019s really great cause it\u2019s basically an unlimited travel pass for trains and buses, so you just need to tap to get in. A weekly pass starting from Monday (cannot change day) will cost 22 euros, plus 5 euros for the pass the first time you get it. There\u2019s also a monthly pass, but I\u2019ve yet to try it out. This is a great option if you intend to travel a lot during the week, as transportation costs can add up to quite a lot in France!\nNOTE: You\u2019ll need to add a passport photo to the pass, so that might be an additional cost if you don\u2019t have extras.\nThat\u2019s all for now! I\u2019m excited for what\u2019s to come (: \u00c0 bient\u00f4t!\nMia\ton January 29, 2019 at 4:20 pm\nHello! Thanks for the insight into staying at HEC Paris. I was just wondering if you could share more about how you took care of your meals? I heard that there aren\u2019t any kitchens in the student dorms.",

        "raw_content": "What You Need to Know About the UAE Cabinet Resolution on 100% Foreign Ownership\nHere are the things you need to understand about the cabinet resolution that will relax the onshore foreign ownership restrictions.\nAs you may have read, the UAE Cabinet has approved a resolution that will permit 100% foreign ownership onshore in the UAE.\nNo further details have been provided and the UAE Government has indicated that it plans to issue a report in Q3 2018 as part of its implementation plans.\nIt is not clear when implementation will actually occur.\nBelow is a summary of the key points to understand:\nIt is not clear if 100% foreign ownership will be permitted across all sectors or limited to certain sectors.\nIt is not clear if 100% foreign ownership will require additional criteria to be met e.g. higher capitalization requirements or other conditions.\nAs it stands, the law would still require a LLC to have 2 foreign partners \u2013 it is not clear if this will be relaxed in light of the new resolution.\nIt is not clear if the resolution will extend to permitting branches of foreign companies to operate without a local Emirati service agent.\nSEE ALSO: 7 Tips for a Successful Startup and SME in 2018 in the UAE\nExisting LLCs\nExisting LLCs should have protective arrangements that include a mechanism whereby the foreign partner can take advantage of any law change permitting 100% ownership (or ownership above the currently permitted 49%).\nRegardless of the contractual arrangements in place, the Emirati partner will be required to attend the notary to sign the applicable documents to facilitate a transfer of shares.\nWhether this be to the existing foreign partner or a new foreign partner, the Emirati partner will need to be appropriately engaged in anticipation of a foreign partner wishing to take advantage of the new resolution, particularly given they will be losing the economic benefit of holding sponsorship appointments.\nThis should be managed carefully to avoid complication.\nIn case it remains necessary to have a minimum of 2 partners, it may still be appropriate to have a corporate nominee in any event (albeit this vehicle need not be Emirati owned).\nWhilst we would expect the majority of foreign investors to be interested in taking advantage of 100% foreign ownership, there may well be instances where foreign partners are content with their existing arrangements (and the costs of restructure could ultimately be more than existing nominee costs).\nExisting branches of foreign companies\nWhilst it remains to be seen whether the requirement to have an Emirati service agent will be relaxed or removed, branches of foreign companies may be able to \u2018convert\u2019 their operations to a wholly foreign owned LLC structure.\nThis may deliver significant benefits in terms of ring fencing liability at a UAE level and may have tax structuring benefits.\nThose who are looking to establish business operations in the UAE, or expand existing operations, will naturally be interested in taking advantage of 100% foreign ownership.\nAs implementation may not occur for some time, and may not ultimately be available to all businesses, a decision will need to be made:\nTo delay plans until the scope of the resolution becomes clearer, or\nTo proceed under the current regime for onshore business establishments under a structure that makes it as easy as possible to transition to 100% foreign ownership as and when that business might qualify.\nIf you would like to understand how this decision may affect your current business structure or plans, please contact us.\nbanks legal",

        "raw_content": "Dr. Haq in 2014\nCynthia Haq, MD, a professor (CHS) in the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) Department of Family Medicine and Community Health (DFMCH) and Department of Population Health Sciences, will leave Wisconsin to become chair of the University of California\u2013Irvine Department of Family Medicine. Her new appointment begins January 1, 2018.\nIn her 28 years here, Dr. Haq\u2019s work has resonated with medical students, family medicine residents, patients and colleagues in Madison, across Wisconsin and around the world.\nShe helped launch the first family medicine residency programs in Pakistan, Uganda and Ethiopia, and created and directed the Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH) program at the SMPH.\nA lifelong advocate for global health, she was also the founding director of what is now the University of Wisconsin-Madison Global Health Institute.\nDr. Haq (center, holding baby) and UW Physical Therapy Program faculty member Sara Smiley with UW medical, physical therapy and undergraduate pre-med students in Uganda as part of a UW Global Health Institute field course.\nHer many honors include two Fulbright scholarships, an American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) President\u2019s Award and Exemplary Teaching Award, a Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) National Excellence in Education Award, two Arnold Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine awards, a Wisconsin Academy of Family Physicians (WAFP) Family Physician Educator of the Year award, and a UW SMPH Dean\u2019s Teaching Award.\n\u201cIt was Cindy\u2019s vision and drive that led to TRIUMPH as it is today. Armed with the never-dulling blade of what is right for our patients, community and students, Cindy fought for the required resources, facilities and processes to optimize the program. She was mentor, teacher, surrogate parent and champion for TRIUMPH students. I have always believed that no one is irreplaceable, and that the greatest leaders are honored, not missed, but Cindy may be an exception.\u201d\n\u2014John Brill, MD, MPH\nDr. Haq as a first-year resident in 1983\nFollowing Dr. Gene Farley\u2019s Vision of Family Medicine\nReflecting on themes that tie together her legacy, Dr. Haq first remembers her interactions as a resident with Gene Farley, MD, a former DFMCH chair and \u201cfather of family medicine.\u201d\n\u201cDr. Farley articulated the vision of family medicine as providing holistic care to the individual in the context of their family and community,\u201d she recalls. She credits Dr. Farley and DFMCH residency founder Marc Hansen, MD, with providing her the training, flexibility and inspiration to follow through on that vision throughout her career.\n\u201cI wanted to be the kind of teacher they were for me, and my legacy has been to pass on those things I learned from them,\u201d she reflects.\n\u201cCindy and Gene Farley are cut from the same cloth; different patterns, but the same cloth. They have a gift for seeing and bringing out the best in people, they are dogged advocates for the underserved and they do it all with a smile. They are among the nicest people you will ever meet.\u201d\n\u2014Kenneth Kushner, PhD\nCommunity Engagement and Commitment to the Underserved\nDr. Haq, top left, with the TRIUMPH class of 2017.\nEarly in her career, when she began establishing family medicine education programs in Uganda and Pakistan, Dr. Haq learned the importance of community engagement\u2014another key theme in her career.\nShe explains that family physicians have a broad skill set that can be tailored to the specific communities they serve; for example, rural Belleville, where Dr. Haq practiced from 1989 to 2008, or urban Milwaukee, where she practiced from 2008 until now.\nIn addition, skills such as cross-cultural communication, cultural humility and the ability to listen are especially important when designing educational programs that can be sustained over the long term. \u201cI wanted to invest my effort in things that have long-lasting value, and attract people who can carry them on after me,\u201d Dr. Haq says.\nConsistently woven throughout her work is a deep commitment to the underserved. Whether it\u2019s creating a family medicine residency program in Ethiopia, or teaching medical students to provide health care and promote health equity for disadvantaged populations in Milwaukee, Dr. Haq has chosen to focus her efforts where needs are greatest.\n\u201cA thoughtful innovator, Cindy has transformed medical education about family medicine, global health, and caring for communities by first listening to the voices of learners and building connections with partners before developing curricula and implementing instruction. She has also modeled well the power of determined advocacy.\u201d\nThe Value of Compassion\nDr. Haq\u2019s last reflection on her time here is perhaps her most personal. A mother of four who at times has struggled to balance her own work and family, she aims to teach learners the value of resilience and compassion\u2014to self and others.\n\u201cTake care of yourself and your family, so you can stay in the work for the long term,\u201d she says. \u201cIf you deny your own needs, you can\u2019t be sympathetic to the needs of your patients or colleagues.\u201d\nThank you, Dr. Haq, for all you have given, and we wish you the best in California!",

Almost 1,400 local people completed the survey which sought your views on local GP services. These are being used to help us ensure GP services meet your needs.\nThe survey results, independently analysed by Hampshire Healthwatch, and further independent feedback sought by Healthwatch are available in a detailed report on their website. Highlights include:\nThe survey was completed by almost 1,400 people. Of these:\n19% care for dependent children and 8% are responsible for caring for a parent/friend/relative\nEvery Gosport practice had responses from patients registered with them.\nMost of those who responded said they would feel confident seeing a GP other than their own (83%) or an experienced nurse (68%) but less than half would feel confident seeing a pharmacist (40%). The key themes for lack of confidence were people perceiving pharmacists as not as qualified as their GP or nurse and some only wanting to see their GP.\nThe majority (82%) said they would be happy to be seen somewhere other than their own practice if they needed a same-day appointment.\n43% said it is reasonable to wait four to seven days for a routine appointment with 36% saying one to three days. This was reflected in the responses from those with a long term condition.\n35% feel they should be able to book a routine appointment three or more weeks in advance with 33% saying one to two weeks.

        "title": "Mental health: If I spark one conversation it was worth sharing | Fast Running",
        "raw_content": "FR Team\nIrish athlete Kevin Dooney bravely talks about his own experiences of mental health and depression.\nWhen asked if I wanted to be part of the \u201cclass of 2018\u201d on Fast Running, I felt that I did not want to become another athlete who goes out there and complains about mental health issues. I did, however, vow that if nothing else I would be honest in my writing, and as such this is a topic that I cannot avoid.\nIt has been a part of my life for so long now, that to avoid writing about it while writing about a year in my life as an athlete, would be a glaring omission.\nDuring the week in conversation with my brother Conor, I told him that after four years I am completely fed up with being depressed. He knew it was something that affected me but did not fully understand just how wearing the whole thing is on me. It is not something I talk about very often with him, or ever with most people. It is something that I\u2019ve kept mostly to myself for four years, with the exception of those who have lived with me for whom it was an unavoidable fact of my life.\nThere is no set date or moment when I would say I began feeling this way, more of a gradual slide into more frequent occurrences of feeling down without any explanation as to way.\nA distinct memory of crying after the Ivy Leagues Cross Country Championships in October 2014 marks somewhat of a beginning, but the feelings were there before that. I put my heart and soul into my racing, so I while I found it an odd overreaction to one race, I didn\u2019t necessarily think there was something more sinister lurking in me. As the weeks and months passed, the same feelings of emptiness and loneliness continued to return.\nAs the problems increased I eventually spoke to my mum and cried down the phone as I tried to explain how I felt. Perhaps the worst feeling was how seemingly impossible it was to articulate these emotions. The spiral of words escaping me, only to be replaced by choking back tears, which meant the call had to be abandoned and continued later on. Thankfully I have a supportive family who arranged for me to see a professional who I work with to this day.\nWhile I\u2019m now better able to understand the causes and triggers of my sadness, I would by no means say I have emerged from the other side.\nIf there is one upside to being injured, which I have been since the World Half Marathon in March, it is that I at least now have time to step back and truly assess what I\u2019m doing with myself. It is not an easy process, but it is one that I need to go through.\nFor the past number of months, running has become increasingly more of a chore in my life. To the point where nights I was supposed on the road training were instead spent in bed trying to hold in tears as they attempted to escape my eyes. For the most part I fought them, held them back, laced up my shoes and went out into the night. Each of these days took an emotional toll on me, and as the gaps between days came closer and closer, it became increasingly self-evident that this could not and should not continue.\nWhile I say this is something I am now working on, I actually don\u2019t know what that looks like. To be honest I\u2019ve felt just as down in the past month while not running as I did in the preceding months while running at an international level. I do however take some comfort in the fact that as I go through this process I am becoming more aware of my health and at the very least becoming more accepting of myself.\nThere is never really an easy or a right time to write about this subject but mental health and depression have been particularly on my mind of late, not only through my own experience, but equally two incidents have compelled me to take this moment to write about my own issues.\nFirstly, there was this piece written by the father of my friend and former teammate Hale Ross who tragically ended his life in October 2016. Secondly, there was the death of Frightened Rabbit lead singer Scott Hutchinson, a man whose lyrics have been a frequent source of comfort over the years.\nBoth these incidents only serve to further highlight that when dealing with mental health issues we need to be open and honest. Hiding my mental health issues has definitely done me no favours over the past years other than perhaps protecting some form of ego I felt needed to be guarded.\nIf this article sparks one conversation about mental health then I feel it is a positive. Hopefully, someone going through his or her own issue might find some solace in another shared story. Perhaps the person who benefits most from this may well be me. I\u2019m very much ok with that. As Jack Ross said when writing about the death of Hale: \u201cas you go through life, try to be open-minded and flexible. Be kind to others, and, most importantly, be kind and forgiving to yourself.\u201d\nKevin Dooney features in the \u2018Fast 10: class of 2018\u2019 and will share his running journey throughout the year.

        "raw_content": "When Opposing Laws Like Indiana's Costs Lives\nNone of the dire outcomes predicted by those campaigning against the Indiana RFRA have materialized in jurisdictions that already have versions of the law. Aside from the specific matter of participation in a gay wedding, there has not been a single case in which someone has claimed a religious right to refuse to serve or sell to gays or lesbians. Employment? There exists only one case from 1985\u2014and in that case the court denied the claim to a religious exemption from anti-discrimination laws. Facts belie the outcry and expose it for the propaganda effort that it is.\nThis campaign of misinformation comes at a cost. For some people, RFRA protection is a matter of life and death.\nTake Mary Stinemetz, a Jehovah's Witness in Kansas who needed a liver transplant but would not accept a blood transfusion for religious reasons. To get such an operation, she would have to go a hospital in Nebraska. Kansas Medicaid, which had a policy of only covering in-state procedures, refused to cover the transplant (even though the Omaha procedure would have cost less than the in-state one with a blood transfusion).\nStinemetz litigated, claiming religious exemption from the policy, but Kansas had no RFRA. State attorneys argued she had no right to the exemption. After going through the appeal process, the Kansas Supreme Court determined that the state constitution implied RFRA-like protections and granted her the exemption. But it was too late. Her health had deteriorated to the point where a transplant was futile.\nShe died in October 2012.\nWe don't hear about Mary Stinemetz. That's because the propaganda about the Indiana law and other RFRA laws blankets reality and hides the true human costs of inadequate protection of religious freedom. This epitomizes the elitism of the gay rights movement, which is in many respects a lobby for the One Percent. Two rich lawyers from New Jersey simply have to be able to compel a florist in Denver to make arrangements for their wedding.\nIf getting rid of Indiana\u2019s law comes at the cost of the lives of people like Mary Stinemetz, well, that's too bad.",

PD-1 contains the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and plays a key role in peripheral tolerance and autoimmune disease. PD-1 is expressed predominantly on activated T and B lymphocytes. Two novel members of the B7 family have been identified as the PD-1 ligands, PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC). Evidence reported to date suggests overlapping functions for these two PD-1 ligands and their constitutive expression on some normal tissues and upregulation on activated antigen-presenting cells. Binding of the J116 monoclonal antibody inhibits PD-1 signal transduction, however, it does not block binding of the ligand PD-L1.Applications Reported: This J116 antibody has been reported in in vitro functional assays.Applications Tested: The J116 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of human PD-1 transfected cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 \u03bcg per test. A test is defined as the amount (\u03bcg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 \u03bcL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.Endotoxin: Less than 0.001 ng/ug antibody as determined by the LAL assay.Storage and handling: Use in a sterile environment.Filtration: 0.2\u03bcm post-manufacturing filtered.Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE.Endotoxin Level: Less than 0.001 ng/\u03bcg antibody, as determined by LAL assay.Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC.\nAntigen CD279 (PD-1)\nGene Alias PD1\nClone J116\nGene PDCD1\nGene Symbols PDCD1",

It is situated between the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, where beautiful icebergs and glaciers abound in coldly beautiful winter colors. Most of the country's population lives in the largely ice-free southwest characterized by its beautiful fjords. For travelers willing to brace the cold, the northernmost part of the country is where some of the most awe-inspiring natural phenomena such as summer's midnight sun and winter's northern lights can be seen, and whale watching is also a popular attraction. The country also boasts diverse wildlife in an incredibly extreme and rugged landscape--seals, polar bears, and reindeer.\nThe country's capital is Nuuk, and a popular stop-off for a day trip for travelers flying from nearby Iceland. That said, budgeting should be done carefully here, as flights within the country are extremely expensive and the only other way to navigate the country is by boat. International travelers determined to fly directly into the country should plan to fly into Kangerlussuaq Airport, which services more airports. Prepare for a harsh Arctic climate; visitors in the summer months can expect temperatures to average 50 F/10 C, and in the winter months these numbers plummet to -4 F/-20 C.\nPopular Routes to Greenland\nFly to Greenland from these popular routes with great prices.\nReykjavik to Nuuk\nLondon to Nuuk\nCopenhagen to Nuuk\nManchester to Nuuk\nNew York to Nuuk\nMexico from A$1,156",

        "title": "3 Flaws With Donald Trump's Tax Plan -- The Motley Fool",
        "raw_content": "3 Flaws With Donald Trump's Tax Plan\nTrump's vision for taxation in America probably needs some work.\nImage source: Evan Guest via Flickr.\nLast year, according to the Internal Revenue Service, nearly 149 million taxpayers filed federal income tax returns, yielding more than $1.75 trillion in income for the government. Despite these enormous figures, about 80% of taxpayers who filed federal returns also received refunds. You could rightly say that tax time is a period of forced savings for many Americans.\nHowever, with President-elect Donald Trump readying to take office in two months, tax policy in America could be nearing a shift. Not only has Trump proposed an overhaul of the U.S. tax code, but he'll also be working with a Republican-led Congress. It's pretty rare for an incoming president to have a unified Congress of the same party. In other words, tax changes are probably a matter of \"when\" not \"if\" at this point.\nTrump lays out his vision for individual and corporate taxation\nTrump's revised tax proposal, released during the summer, calls for a simplification of the individual income tax schedule from seven brackets to three. For added context, here's what the current individual tax brackets look like:\nTable by author. Data source: IRS.\nAnd here's what they'd look like if Donald Trump gets his revised proposal through Congress:\nTable by author. Data source: Donald Trump campaign website.\nAccording to Trump, who also aims to axe the Alternative Minimum Tax, estate tax, and gift tax, Americans from top to bottom are going to save money under his tax plan. On paper it would make sense to put more money into the pockets of consumers since we're a consumption-driven economy. If consumers have more money, they'll be more likely to spend it.\nTrump also wants to completely reform corporate income taxes. With the exception of Puerto Rico and the United Arab Emirates, the U.S. has the highest marginal corporate income tax rate in the world. Trump's belief is that restrictive corporate taxes are inhibiting hiring and business reinvestment. By lowering the tax rate from 35% to 15%, he'll presumably allow U.S. corporations to be more competitive globally, pumping up the U.S. growth rate in the process.\nAccording to Trump, if the full scope of his tax plan were implemented along with other proposals that include $1 trillion in infrastructure spending over 10 years, America could grow its GDP by as much as 4% per year.\nTrump's tax plan could have numerous flaws\nThough it's possible Trump could be right, there are a number of potential flaws with Trump's tax plan as it stands now.\n1. It could increase income inequality\nPerhaps the biggest concern with Trump's tax plan is what it might do to further income inequality in America.\nAn analysis by the Tax Policy Center found that the bulk of the benefit would be felt by upper-income earners. The bottom 80% of income earners would see an effective marginal income tax cut of between 0.6% and 1.7%. For a family earning between $40,000 and $50,000 a year, we're talking about a tax cut of about $560. That's certainly better than nothing, but it's minuscule compared to the tax breaks seen in the upper quintile.\nThe Tax Policy Center's analysis suggests that the top 20% of income earners will see an effective marginal tax reduction of 3.2%, the top 1% will see their effective marginal tax drop 6.5%, and the top 0.1% could net a 7.3% effective marginal tax decrease. Per Lily Batchelder, a law professor at New York University and visiting fellow at the Tax Policy Center, \"A millionaire... would get an average tax cut of $317,000.\"\nGrowing income inequality could have adverse effects on society. Most notably, the gap between healthcare and education among the rich and poor could widen. Lower-income folks may not have the financial capacity to seek preventative medical care, or they may not be able to afford college or a trade school to get the skills needed for socioeconomic advancement. Well-to-do individuals and families don't have these financial constraints, thus they often have the educational credentials needed to get higher paying entry-level jobs, and they tend to live longer than lower-income individuals since they have regular access to preventative care.\nTrump's tax plan could be a hard sell to the American people given the lopsided benefits for the richest Americans.\n2. It'll likely increase our national debt\nA second worry with Trump's tax plan is that it could balloon our already climbing national debt, which currently stands at more than $19.8 trillion.\nOn one hand, reducing individual and corporate tax rates and financing a $1 trillion spending plan in infrastructure over 10 years sounds great. It would presumably put more money back in the pockets of businesses and consumers, create new jobs, and lead to faster GDP growth than we're experiencing now. But the other side of the coin is that it would almost assuredly reduce the amount of tax revenue collected by the federal government.\nOn a static basis, an analysis conducted by the Tax Foundation estimated a 10-year reduction in tax revenue collection of between $4.4 trillion and $5.9 trillion. On a dynamic basis, which factors in the expectation of higher GDP growth and a broader tax base, the net effect is a $2.6 trillion to $3.9 trillion federal revenue reduction over the next decade. In other words, national debt could balloon to around $25 trillion, including regular budget deficits, by 2025.\nIt's worth noting that not all debt is necessarily bad. But if the federal government allows the national debt to get out of hand, then the percentage of the federal budget being apportioned to service that debt could grow. If this were to happen it could choke some of the most vital social programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and it could cause the federal government to drastically pull back on its reinvestment plans in infrastructure and other areas of the economy.\n3. Certain businesses may receive little help\nA final issue with Trump's tax plan is that it won't help all types of businesses. Though the corporate tax rate would be expected to fall to 15%, certain types of pass-through firms, such as partnerships, LLCs, and sole proprietorships, would be facing the top individual corporate tax rate of 33%. In other words, Trump's tax plan isn't very friendly to certain types of small businesses, while at the same time it's bending over backwards to help domestic large corporations.\nHowever, these same large corporations could get the shaft if they operate overseas. Part of Trump's plan includes a special repatriation tax rate of 10% for the nearly $2.5 trillion in corporate profits being held overseas. You might assume once this income is brought back to the U.S. and businesses pay the special 10% rate that would be the end of it. But that's not the case with Trump's proposal. U.S. multinationals could face double taxation since they're already paying tax in the foreign countries they're operating in, and they could be required to pay the new 15% corporate income tax in the U.S. as well.\nIn short, Trump may be overstating the positive impact his tax plan will have on businesses.\nIt's important to keep in mind that what Trump proposed on the campaign trail and what actually gets passed through Congress could be different. This means some of these aforementioned flaws could be resolved in the months and years to come. In the meantime, we can only watch and wait to see what's on Trump's plate once he gets into the Oval Office.\n3 Flaws With Donald Trump's Tax Plan @themotleyfool #stocks",

Vice presidents are separately elected in the Philippines, and in a sign of Duterte's go-it-alone style, he has not met her since the May 9 vote.\nIn a country long ruled by wealthy political clans, Duterte rose from middle-class roots. He built a reputation on the campaign trail with profanity-laced speeches, sex jokes and curses that sideswiped even the widely revered pope and the United Nations.\nHis brash style has been likened to that of presumptive U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, although he detests the comparison and says the American billionaire is a bigot and he's not.\nDuterte is the first president to come from the country's volatile south, homeland of minority Muslims and scene of a decades-long Muslim separatist insurgency, where he said his central Philippine-based family migrated in search of better oppo",

        "raw_content": "Freelance to gain experience\nkitt614 2018-04-08 13:01:39 UTC #1\nHere\u2019s a little bit about my background thus far:\nI started learning to code with freecodecamp and codecademy back in\u2026 I think summer of 2015. Once I felt comfortable and competent with front end, I started applying to jobs. My portfolio really only consisted of the basic front end challenges, so nothing super noteworthy, but just to show I knew enough to build a bit, and a willingness to learn.\nI tried to learn everything I could about Javascript, and continued to branch out to try to learn some of the frameworks, like React, Node.js, and jQuery.\nWith the jobs that I applied to, most of the front end jobs I never heard back about. Interestingly, there were a couple of back end jobs that I applied to and was very upfront about having barely any experience with node.js, but they actually moved me onto the second round of interviews, and they acknowledged that I actually did really well on the test round, but of course moved to someone with more experience (totally understandable in these instances).\nThen I thought I hit a little bit of a break. A tiny company in my tiny town needed a front end developer, and were comfortable with me needing to learn their stack. They brought me in, showed me the stack and talked to me about company goals. But then they slapped me in the face with an offer that was less than half of the starting wage of a front end dev, and wanting me to work as a full stack dev for that tiny salary. I was literally in the process of purchasing a house (I was going to the inspection immediately after the meeting at the tiny company) and was not in a position to take a huge pay cut. I work a mediocre position in sales/customer service and they were offering me 2/3 of what I make now, which was not a cut I could take. So I told them that I would have to make at least what I make now, and that was it, we didn\u2019t talk after that. There was a lot of buzz suggesting I should take the job and be thankful, and see about a raise in a year after more experience. But I just couldn\u2019t do that, to be honest.\nSo after endless applications and no serious offers (and barely any interviews), I\u2019m wondering how to beef up my portfolio to get a front end job. One of my ideas was to start freelancing. Not on freelancer.com or upwork.com or anything, but instead, advertise locally to try to just get clients the old fashioned way.\nHas anyone done this and been successful? Or does anyone have any other suggestions for getting to a point where they were able to get a job?\nHave you tried working on open source projects?\nvipatron:\nThat\u2019s a great question. I didn\u2019t want to bore people too much with diving into it. During Hactoberfest, I did branch out and work on just a couple of open source projects, but not many at all.\nHowever, while I was writing my question, I thought of the same opportunity, and actually hopped onto Github to find a couple of projects to contribute to on the front end. I\u2019m digging a bit more into them.\nHas anyone had success with contributing to open source aiding in landing a job?\nThings like Hacktoberfest are a great way to push yourself to finally jump into OS contributions or to build a habit of submitting PRs. As job preparation and resume strengthening though, one-off PRs are\u2019t a big help. What can be very useful is really getting involved in a project and being a regular contributor. This is much more like what you\u2019ll do when you begin working as a developer. You\u2019ll come into an existing, unique, confusing code base that includes technology that you\u2019re unfamiliar with. You\u2019ll have to work with strangers who have their own ways of doing things. You\u2019ll learn by doing and develop a sense of ownership over the project that you are helping build and maintain.\nYou\u2019ll be able to demonstrate to potential employers not only that you can accomplish the above, but also a pattern of regularly contributing, adressing bugs, responding to feedback, and providing your own.\nCV/Resume Question: Adressing a Large Gap\nThose are some great points. I never actually thought about the pattern of the types of contributions that I make to actually matter. So I am very thankful that you pointed it out, and it completely makes sense.\nA lot of what you said I can see with my first OS project. I became proud of that project because I had a stake in its success. And it was such a new experience to dive in to a foreign project and try to find my footing.\nThank you for your point of view.",

        "raw_content": "Gaston father forgives son\u2019s killer\nBy Dashiell Coleman dcoleman@gastongazette.com\nPlea means at least 16 years in prison for Dallas slaying\nA Gastonia man will spend 16 to 20 years in prison for a 2017 drive-by shooting that left a young Dallas father dead.\nJakevious Raheim Lynch pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Ralpheal Kennedy to avoid a first-degree murder trial that was set to begin Tuesday. Police and prosecutors accuse Lynch and another man, Aaron Jamarius Rainey, of the Jan. 31, 2017, shooting that killed Kennedy.\nHad Lynch been convicted of first-degree murder, he would have faced a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.\nAn autopsy report from the N.C. Medical Examiner\u2019s Office found Kennedy had been shot in the head while sitting in his car outside his cousin\u2019s house. The 25-year-old died three days later at CaroMont Regional Medical Center, leaving behind a toddler and girlfriend. Kennedy was a North Gaston High alumnus who was working as a truck driver.\nFamily members and prosecutors say Kennedy did not know the men charged with killing him.\nDistrict Attorney Locke Bell said Rainey had been fighting with a member of Kennedy\u2019s extended family in the days before the shooting. On Jan. 31, 2017, Rainey allegedly asked Lynch to accompany him to Dallas. The person Rainey and Lynch were allegedly targeting wasn\u2019t even there, Bell said.\nBut Kennedy was \u2014 sitting in a car outside of the house.\n\u201cHe pulled in front of the house, and Mr. Lynch slid with the upper half of his body outside of the car from the window, leaned over and started shooting at people in the yard,\u201d Bell said. \u201cOne of those shots went into the car and killed Mr. Kennedy.\u201d\nKennedy\u2019s father, Jeffrey McDowell, said in court that he forgives Lynch.\n\u201cI want the courtroom to know, and I want Mr. Lynch to know it hurt us and there\u2019s nothing anyone can do to bring him back,\u201d McDowell said. I want you to know every day of your life think about what you\u2019ve done. Think about it. You didn\u2019t even know my son. My son didn\u2019t know you. This could have been avoided\u2026\n\u201cI forgive you, and I love you, and to the family: I love you all too. I don\u2019t have no kind of hate toward all of you, but I want you to know that I lost a son that means so much to me, and I never get to see him again.\u201d\nMcDowell said his faith helped turn the anger in his heart into forgiveness. He said his wife hasn\u2019t been the same since the shooting, and that the two of them are struggling to raise Kennedy\u2019s 3-year-old son.\n\u201cWe still hurt,\u201d McDowell said. \u201cThe holidays are coming up, and we still don\u2019t have him. We don\u2019t have him because of foolishness.\u201d\nLynch, 25, was arrested about a week after the killing and charged with first-degree murder in the case. Rainey was captured near Columbia, South Carolina, on the same charge. Rainey\u2019s girlfriend, Amber Renee Deaton, was accused of helping him flee and charged with felony accessory after the fact.\nRainey remains in jail and has yet to go to trial.\nBell said Deaton has agreed to testify in exchange for a reduced charge. A date for Rainey\u2019s trial has not yet been set.\nDefense attorney Brent Ratchford said Lynch\u2019s family helped convince him to accept the state\u2019s offer.\n\u201cThe burden or the weight of a possible life-without-the-possibility-of-parole sentence weighed extremely heavily on him,\u201d Ratchford said. \u201cHe feels it\u2019s in his best interest to enter this plea.\u201d\nSuperior Court Judge Jesse Caldwell said Lynch will be credited for the nearly two years he\u2019s spent in jail. Technically, Lynch entered an Alford plea \u2014 a guilty plea in which a defendant doesn\u2019t necessarily admit to all accusations.\nThe courtroom was nearly filled with family members on both sides.\n\u201c(Lynch\u2019s family) wants to see their son one day,\u201d Ratchford said. \u201cUnfortunately, Mr. McDowell does not get to see his son. There\u2019s not a thing this court or Mr. Lynch can do to right that wrong, but he will have to pay his debt to society.\u201d\nLynch himself told Caldwell he had nothing to say.\nAfter court was dismissed, members of Lynch\u2019s family began hugging members of Kennedy\u2019s family. Tears flowed on both sides.\n\u201cYou lost a son just like I did,\u201d McDowell had told them earlier.\nYou can reach Dashiell Coleman at 704-869-1819 or on Twitter @DashiellColeman",

        "title": "GameSpy shutdown will end online play on Wii, Nintendo DS - Geek.com",
        "raw_content": "GameSpy shutdown will end online play on Wii, Nintendo DS\nNot content with initiating the earliest-ever large scale online shutdown for any successful console, Nintendo this week announced that it will be setting that record twice. In one fell swoop, both Nintendo Wii and DS will lose a large portion of their online functionality for key games.\nThe loss comes thanks to the Nintendo WiFi Connection service, which uses servers from the GameSpy network \u2014 though it was purchased from IGN just two years ago now, the GameSpy servers will be shut down on May 31st due to financial trouble. Players will lose all or part access to hundreds of games from a wide variety of publishers.\nIt\u2019s important to note that Nintendo is not the only major company hit by the GameSpy shutdown. Games like Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Borderlands all used the service to one extent or another. However, the loss of so much functionality in these two Nintendo consoles has turned heads. Online play in Mario Kart Wii will now require special tunneling software to get working \u2014 though I\u2019m sure Nintendo would prefer that you simply buy and play the newer version for Wii U.\nThis interface will bring back memories for some older readers.\nThis issue is not totally beyond a company\u2019s control. Activision, for example, has assured its customers that it is close to finding a fix for the issue; presumably, that will simply entail subbing their own servers in as a replacement. Some companies have been able to address the issue on specific platforms, but not on others. Mortal Kombat 9, for example, will remain playable on every console except the PlayStation Vita.\nNintendo, though, has been resistant to online play ever since it became popular. The company will almost certainly let GameSpy\u2019s server shutdown shutter its online services for older games, avoiding most of the heat such a move would have generated on its own. Meanwhile, companies from Sony to Namco-Bandai are looking to see if the issue can be dealt with affordably.\nThird party online solutions are becoming both less necessary and less lucrative, as more and more proprietary options pop up by the day. There are now hosting and/or matchmaking services from Valve, EA, Ubisoft, Sony, Microsoft, and yes, Nintendo; there simply aren\u2019t that many games in need of GameSpy anymore.\nA complete list of GameSpy hosted games can be found here.",

        "title": "Review Your Auto Insurance for 2019 - O'Brien Law",
        "raw_content": "Now that it is 2019, it is a good time to review your insurance coverages for renewal. Although all insurance coverages and costs change from year to year, these changes can be most noticeable with your auto insurance. There can be many questions in terms of having the best insurance for your own protection. Unfortunately, many drivers do nothing to review or change their coverage amounts, or even shop around for the best insurance coverage bang for your buck. At O\u2019Brien Law, we are most concerned that our clients have good coverage that protects them if they are in a crash.\nMake Sure You Have the Right Coverage with the Right Company\nHow much car insurance a person needs can be tricky to gauge. If your car is older and has low value, getting collision insurance may be a waste of your money. If you have a relationship with your agent, or enjoy the non-monetary perks of your current company, those are valid reasons to stay. Even so, you can still adjust how much coverage you have. Agents are usually good at steering you toward the right coverages, but if you went through an exclusively online service, you may have just selected whatever they recommended. Most importantly, you may not have enough coverage. If you know a personal injury attorney or if you want to call our office with any questions, find out what the best coverage for your own protection may be in the worst circumstance.\nThe liability limits you purchase for bodily injuries are typically the same amounts you are limited to if you need uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Trust us, this is important. We have represented a number of seriously injured clients who needed to make claims against their own companies for uninsured or underinsured coverage. The minimum limits in Illinois for bodily injury liability are $25,000 per person and $50,000 per occurrence. If your limits are $100,000 per person and $300,000 per occurrence, and you are seriously injured, you can pursue a claim with your own insurance company up to these limits if you are injured by a driver with no insurance or with minimal insurance. Remember, the insurance you purchase for yourself and your family could be the insurance you need following a serious auto accident.\nMany of our clients have never been told how their medical payment coverage works. It pays your medical bills without regard to fault if you are in an auto accident. In Illinois, your medical payment coverage is typically primary and your health insurance is secondary for crash-related medical bills. Insurance companies typically recommend just $5,000 or $10,000 of medical payment coverage, without explaining just how inexpensive it could be to upgrade to $25,000 or $50,000 of medical payment coverage. With the cost of health care today, it can be hard to even get out of the ER after a crash for less than $5,000. Do yourself a favor and look into the costs and options for increasing your medical payment coverage in 2019. You may be surprised to learn how inexpensive this important upgrade could be.\nAt O\u2019Brien Law, we do not recommend specific insurance companies, but we know how different companies handle claims. As stated before, we suggest that you do whatever you can to protect yourself and your family fully without ignoring worst-case scenarios. Your good health may depend on it. In the meantime, if you have unfortunately been the victim of an auto accident, please give us a call and we will be more than happy to help you out and answer your questions. Call today for your free consultation and stay safe in 2019! And please be adequately insured!",

        "title": "Teacher Pension Debt Undermines Public Education in Georgia | Georgia Public Policy Foundation",
        "raw_content": "By Jen Sidorova\nGeorgia\u2019s students deserve fiscally responsible public education management, but chronic underfunding of teachers\u2019 pensions is putting that at risk. Over the past three years alone, legislators had to reroute over $600 million away from other budget priorities to make additional payments into the state\u2019s retirement system for teachers.\nAs of today, public education employees have been promised $25 billion more in pension benefits than Georgia is expected to have available to fully pay its obligations. Each year, a certain amount of money needs to be contributed to the pension fund in order to pay promised benefits. The required contributions has been steadily increasing \u2013 reaching 21 percent of total payroll as budgeted for 2020 \u2013 escalating the pressure on school finances and siphoning education dollars away from the classroom.\nUndoubtedly and understandably, retirement benefits are a major source of post-employment income for Georgia\u2019s public education professionals. The Teachers Retirement System (TRS) of Georgia\u2019s mission is to serve teachers by administering their retirement benefits and protecting the system\u2019s long-term financial solvency. However, TRS is facing some major risks that could harm not only retirees, but also current students and teachers.\nRealistically, contributions are likely to increase even more in the event of investment underperformance or a recession.\nUnfortunately, the primary driver of the increase in costs is the \u201cunfunded liability\u201d for TRS, i.e. the gap between how much money should be on hand to pay promised teacher pension benefits over the long term and what the retirement system actually has.\nTo sustainably deliver all the promised pension benefits to teachers, TRS needs to be fully funded at all times. All the actuarial assumptions that went into creating the pension plan \u2013 the educated guesses on the \u201cwhat ifs?\u201d about what happens in the future with regard to markets, demographic trends, and more \u2013 need to be correct.\nBut consider the performance of investment returns against the educated guesses that Georgia\u2019s TRS has been using. For the past two decades, TRS has assumed it would earn a 7.5 percent investment return but only averaged 5.5 percent between 2001 and 2017 \u2013 a result of a \u201cnew normal\u201d of low asset returns for most institutional investors, not just TRS. And, although some years were better than others in terms of the investment returns, the overall underperformance has created $9.7 billion of the current unfunded liabilities.\nMissed demographic assumptions and negative amortization \u2013 an increase in the pension debt simply because total contributions are less than the interest accruing on that debt \u2013 were other major factors driving today\u2019s $25 billion unfunded liability.\nGoing forward, the funding deficit is likely to continue driving higher state and school district pension contributions and crowding out spending that could otherwise be directed toward classrooms and students.\nSchool district contributions to teacher pensions represented less than 10 percent of payroll costs until 2011. If future investment returns average just 6.5 percent, annual payments would grow to 22 percent of payroll by FY2040. If investment returns continue to average 5.5 percent, annual taxpayer contributions to the TRS would increase to 27 percent of payroll.\nThat means that for every dollar paid in salary to current teachers, a quarter needs to be added to the pensions system \u2013 money that could have otherwise gone towards their benefits or compensation.\nWhat does this potentially mean for teachers and students?\nWhen school districts need to increase TRS contributions to pay down rising pension debt, this money needs to come from somewhere. Without some increases in the system\u2019s revenue, districts would reroute education funds. That could force reductions to after-school programs, freezing teacher salaries, and/or cutting services from within the state\u2019s education system.\nGeorgia\u2019s public education system is the cornerstone in building the state\u2019s future. Families of all walks of life rely on public schools. Redirecting resources from the classroom to the pension system means less money where it is supposed to be: in classrooms.\n\u201cThe provision of an adequate public education for the citizens shall be a primary obligation of the State of Georgia,\u201d Georgia\u2019s Constitution states. Absent meaningful reform to reduce financial risk and improve the TRS\u2019 solvency, the state will be increasingly unable to afford to invest in young Georgians\u2019 education. Georgia\u2019s political leaders owe it to parents and students to resolve the pension system\u2019s solvency challenges.\nGo here to read the Issue Analysis, \u201cGeorgia\u2019s Teachers Retirement System: Historic Solvency Analysis And Prospects for the Future.\u201d\nJen Sidorova is a policy analyst with Reason Foundation\u2019s Pension Integrity Project.

        "raw_content": "Foam insulation (referred to as spray polyurethane foam by the professionals) is an insulation product that is installed with a spray-application. The foam insulation is applied initially in the form of a liquid, expanding many times over, and hardening into place as an insulating envelope. This envelope creates an airtight space and prevents the movement of air, as well as the accumulation of moisture. Foam insulation also provides the highest R-Value (insulating value) compared to other insulation products. It's an efficient insulator that keeps heated air or air-conditioned are inside a building, and prevents hot air or cold air from leaking in. Foam insulation is effective in every part of the home (or building), and provides energy efficiency wherever installed. Most homeowners don't realize it, but 30-50% of heating and cooling bills are due to air leakage and/or poor insulation - that's quite a bit of wasted energy and wasted money. But with foam insulation applied, energy consumption is reduced and energy savings are achieved. In fact, where a project budget will permit, foam insulation can be installed in walls and ceilings; attics and roofs; floors and crawl spaces; and especially in basements. And results are noticeable when heating and cooling the home throughout the year. The benefits of foam insulation far outweigh other insulation products. And although the cost of product and installation are somewhat higher, the longer-term savings on energy bills make the project cost worthwhile. With foam insulation the whole idea is to provide optimum thermal efficiency, and that means insulating any space where energy can be lost. Ideally, whether it's the attic or the basement, it's preferable to apply foam insulation from top to bottom, edge to edge. But where a project budget doesn't allow, the next best option is foam insulation combined with another insulation product (the professionals call this a \"hybrid\" approach).\nAttics, roofs, and above the garage\nFoam insulation ensures that these spaces are airtight and highly insulated. Energy loss is restricted during winter and summer, and energy bills are therefore reduced. Foam insulation envelops an entire space, and in an attic, everything is completely sealed, including all gaps and holes, and all hard-to-reach spaces.\nInterior/exterior walls and ceilings\nWalls (exterior and interior) are especially suited for foam insulation. In fact, inside a home, even the walls between rooms can be sprayed with foam insulation - it allows for added insulation, sound dampening, and additional comfort. In some cases, foam insulation also contributes to the structural strength of the walls.\nBasement walls, floors, crawl spaces\nWhile basement walls are usually insulated, basement floors are often overlooked. In the basement, foam insulation is ideal - a good application will restrict air movement, inhibit moisture from accumulating, and will provide superior R-Value. And if the floor can also be insulated with foam insulation, it's even better. With a professional installation, foam insulation will provide more benefits than any of the other products on the market. It's a quality approach with a premium product. And although it may not suit all budgets, the long-term energy savings, along with the short \"pay down\" period, make the investment worthwhile.",

Peaks like the Cairngorms and mountains in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park like Ben More and Stob Binnein may be protected, but the majority of Munros are not.\nExcluded from national park protection are Ben Nevis - although it is owned by conservation body the John Muir Trust (JMT) - the mountains of Glencoe, the Black Cuillin on Skye and numerous other Munros, not to mention hundreds of Corbetts and Grahams.\nThreats to these landscapes come in more than one form, but two have been exercising bodies representing outdoors lovers of late.\nOne of them has been the issue of hill tracks, where 4WD vehicles have made their mark on the landscapes in a highly visible way. The (JMT) and sympathetic MSP's have been campaigning on the issue for years and the upshot has been a public consultation by the Scottish government.\nThis week marks the end of the consultation (June 22nd) and the trust published a reminder of this fact to supporters earlier this month.\nPeople who love to go walking on the Scottish mountains may be keen on seeing the hills kept free of such marks, as well as wind turbines.\nWindfarms are nothing if not a controversial topic. Those journeying north from England will see many of them on the Lowland hills as they pass through the sparsely-populated region between the border and the central belt.\nThis month saw the Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCoS) publish its own manifesto on the issue, with one specific demand being that they be kept off the Munros (3,000 ft plus) and Corbetts (2,500-2,999 ft). Of course, this could leave the Grahams (2,000-2,499 ft) vulnerable, but that category will already include some of those lowland hills.\nNonetheless, the MCoS argues that recreation like walking and ski touring is one of the reasons the turbines should be kept off the hills, as well as issues of wildlife preservation and the economic benefits of attracting tourists to an unspoiled landscape.\nThat such campaigns are ongoing suggests that while Scotland has been free of the recent controversies over forests seen in England, politicians and planners there are facing a fight on other fronts from those who value its natural resources.",

Children currently wait an average of 55 weeks for court decisions.\nIt would include legislation to stop damaging delays by social workers in matching parents to ethnic minority children - black children already take 50 per cent longer to be adopted than white children or those of other ethnicities.\nIt would strengthen the law so children have a relationship with both parents if families break up - if that is in their best interest. Ministers will consult shortly on the legal options about how this would work.\nAnd it would strengthen the powers of the children\u2019s commissioner - to champion children\u2019s rights and hold government to account for legislation and policy.\nThe bill is expected to be introduced early in 2013.\nThe main elements of the forthcoming bill include:\nThe key measures are:\nReplacing SEN statements and learning difficulty assessments (for 16- to 25-year-olds) with a single, simpler 0-25 assessment process and education, health and care plan from 2014.\nProviding statutory protections comparable to those currently associated with a statement of SEN to up to 25 in further education - instead of it being cut off at 16.\nRequiring local authorities to publish a local offer showing the support available to disabled children and young people and those with SEN, and their families.\nGiving parents or young people with education, health and care plans the right to a personal budget for their support.\nIntroducing mediation for disputes and trialling giving children the right to appeal if they are unhappy with their support.\nThe legislation would draw on evidence from 20 local pathfinders set up in September 2011. The interim evaluation reports are due in summer and late autumn 2012, with a final report in 2013.\nMinisters have committed to making all the necessary legal changes to put in place reforms proposed in the \u2018Support and aspiration\u2019 green paper.\nThe green paper was published for consultation in March 2011 - and next week, ministers will set out their detailed response and reform timetable.\nThe key measure is:\nStopping local authorities delaying an adoption to find the perfect match if there are suitable adopters available. The ethnicity of a child and prospective adopters will come second, in most cases, to the speed of placing a child in a permanent home.\nThe proposal was set out in the Adoption Action Plan published in March 2012 - part of wider reforms to speed up and overhaul the system for prospective adoptive parents and children.\nCreating a time limit of six months by which care cases must be completed.\nMaking it explicit that case management decisions should be made only after impacts on the child, their needs and timetable have been considered.\nFocusing the court on those issues which are essential to deciding whether to make a care order.\nGetting rid of unnecessary processes in family proceedings by removing the requirement for interim care and supervision orders to be renewed every month by the judge and instead allowing the judge to set the length and renewal requirements of interim orders for a period which he or she considers appropriate, up to the expected time limit.\nRequiring courts to have regard to the impact of delay on the child when commissioning expert evidence and whether the court can obtain information from parties already involved.\nRequiring parents in dispute to consider mediation as a means of settling that dispute rather than litigation by making attendance at a mediation information and assessment meeting a statutory prerequisite to starting court proceedings.\nFreeing up judicial time by allowing legal advisers to process uncontested divorce applications.\nIt follows the government\u2019s response in February 2012 to the final report of the independent Family Justice Review published in November 2011.\nMinisters intend to strengthen the law to ensure children have a relationship with both their parents after family separation, where that is safe and in the child\u2019s best interests.\nThe government believes that this will encourage more separated parents to resolve their disputes out of court and agree care arrangements that fully involve both parents.\nThe government will consult shortly on how the legislation can be framed to ensure that a meaningful relationship is not about an equal division of time but the quality of time that a child spends with each parent.\nThis was announced as part of the government\u2019s response to the independent Family Justice Review in February 2012. The review published its final report in November 2011.\nStrengthening the commissioner\u2019s remit - with new overall function to \u201cpromote and protect children\u2019s rights\u201d as set out in the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child.\nWidening the Commissoner\u2019s remit to include the functions of the Children\u2019s Rights Director in Ofsted.\nGranting new powers to carry out assessments of the impact of new policies and legislation on children\u2019s rights and underline existing duties on government and public services to publish formal responses to commissioner\u2019s reports.\nGiving more independence from ministers and report directly to parliament - with parliament playing a stronger role in scrutinising the commissioner\u2019s performance.\nGranting future commissioners a single six-year term of office.\nIt follows Dr John Dunford\u2019s independent review of the Office for Children\u2019s Commissioner which reported in December 2010.\nThe Children and Families Bill is expected to be introduced early in 2013 and carry over into the third session of this parliament for royal assent.\nHere follows more background detail on each element of the proposed legislation:\nThe biggest SEN reforms for 30 years were set out in the \u2018Support and Aspiration\u2019 green paper, published and consulted in March 2011.\nThe government is piloting the reforms in 20 pathfinders, covering 31 local authorities. It announced the details in September 2011.\nThe interim evaluation will be published in autumn 2012 and final evaluation in 2013. The work of the pathfinders will continue to inform the changes we make to legislation through the Bill.\nMinisters intend to publish the formal response to the green paper consultation next week.\nThe bill\u2019s SEN provisions will apply to England.\nMinisters published the Action Plan for Adoption.\nThe bill\u2019s adoption provisions would apply to England. The government will discuss with the Welsh ministers whether it would be extended to Wales.\nThe government published its response to the independent Family Justice Review..\nThe final report of the Family Justice Review was published in November 2011.\nThe bill\u2019s private and public family law provisions would apply to England and Wales.\nFlexible parental leave and flexible leave\nThe government published a consultation on Modern workplaces in May 2011.\nThe consultation on implementing the recommendations of Imelda Walsh\u2019s 2008 independent review - Amending and extending the right to request flexible working to parents of older children and previous government\u2019s response.\nThe bill\u2019s flexible parental leave provisions would apply to the whole of Great Britain. Flexible Working provisions would apply to England, Wales and Scotland - but is devolved to Northern Ireland.\nDr John Dunford published an independent review of Children\u2019s commissioner\u2019s work in December 2010.\nThe Children Act 2004 - established the current Office of the Children\u2019s Commissioner. The Education and Inspections Act 2006 transferred the post of the Children\u2019s Rights Director to Ofsted - the role was originally established under the Care Standards Act 2000.\nThe bill\u2019s Office of the Children\u2019s Commissioner reforms would apply primarily to England. The devolved administrations have their own children\u2019s commissioners.\nSpecial educational needs and disability (SEND) and high needs",

        "raw_content": "\u2013 Potted History\nA power station built a mile beneath one of Scotland's highest mountains provides the fuel for a Maria Fusco art project and book-design brilliance by APFEL\nWords by Emma Thomas\nThere\u2019s a wonderful story behind the artwork featured in this book \u2013 what parts of it captured your imagination in the design process?\nCruachan Power Station is located almost a mile beneath a reservoir on one of West Scotland\u2019s highest mountains, Ben Cruachan. It was constructed between 1959 and 1965, and was the first reversible pump storage hydro system on this scale to be built in the world. It\u2019s amazing to think of the scale and difficulty of such a project\u2014the hardness of the rock, the conditions inside and outside the mountain, the epic scale of the very idea. All of this was inspiring to us. Cruachan was the brainchild of Sir Edward McColl, who came up with the concept in the 1930s. Over the course of the six years during which the station was under construction, there was a workforce of around 1300 men, affectionately known as the Tunnel Tigers. The men used hand-held air drills to bore holes in the solid granite rock, which were then packed with gelignite and blasted. Cruachan Power Station was completed in 1965, and is still generating electricity today.\nCover, Master Rock, by Maria Fusco, designed by APFEL\nCruachan Power Station, Ben Cruachan, Scotland\nIn writing the script and the story for Master Rock, Maria Fusco combined her original writing with archival materiality and topographical reportage to bring together geology, mythology and technology to tell the epic story of the hollowing out of the mountain during the creation of Cruachan Power Station. She created three fictional voices from her research: John Mullholland from the Tunnel tigers, the Irish explosives experts who emptied out the mountain to build the power station; Elizabeth Falconer, the amateur artist who created a marquetry mural inside that only the site\u2019s workers ever see; and Granite, the 450 million year-old rock of Cruachan itself as a main character. The research materials that Maria had gathered were great: documentary photography of the construction, portraits of the tunnel tigers, geological maps... We worked closely with her to weave these into the texts. The contrast between these archival materials, and the legends told through Falconer\u2019s mural, created an interesting dynamic.\nDouble page spread, Master Rock, by Maria Fusco, designed by APFEL\nWere you able to visit the Ben Cruachan site?\nWe were lucky to have the chance to visit for one of the performances of Master Rock. We met on a very wet and windy evening in the car park at Ben Cruachan, after driving a few hours from Edinburgh where we\u2019d just been doing a lecture. A small number of us were taken in a minibus from the entrance and driven almost a mile into the centre of the mountain beneath the reservoir. As we were driving, it was amazing to think that this was actually hollowed out by a group of people in the early 1960s. The progress must have been so slow and painful\u2014especially with the mountain being mostly granite, one of the hardest types of rock.\nOn arrival, we stepped out and noticed immediately how hot it was. We took a short walk through the last part of the tunnel, which opened out into a vast cavernous space. We wandered around the huge turbines, and inspected the walls of buttons and dials\u2014all of which are still functioning. It was an amazing place, and the impression of being so far underground in a man-made space about a mile under the reservoir that we had passed by earlier was overwhelming. After fifteen minutes, the performance began. Sound was composed on-site by Olivier Pasquet together with three distinctive voices: Irish actor Lalor Roddy as John Mulholland; poet Denise Riley as Elizabeth Falconer; and musician Ceylan Hay as the voice of the ancient granite.\nInside the Cruachan power station\nThe book is based on Maria Fusco\u2019s spoken word performances \u2013 were there any special design considerations for rendering the oral content typographically?\nWhist designing the book, we always had in mind that the text was conceived for radio: it is a script, so the pauses and white space are as important as the text itself. The story comprises three voices, and in the book both text and image are treated like a voice of one of the characters. The position of the each of the voices on the page always comes in at the same point, whether it is words or images, which gives the an underlying rhythm and structure. On the cover, we designed the lettering as a direct response to the title of the book\u2014a heavy grotesque typeface with exaggerated gaps chiselled into it. The typeface on the inside pages is Futura Book \u2013 we chose it because it echoed the old text books and information leaflets published around the time that the Cruachan Power Station was being built. It also works very well as short blocks of text, which the script required.\nTell us about some of the material details such as the bindings, paper and printing\u2026\nWe printed the images in duotone\u2014working with such a variety of images and image quality, and the fragmented structure of the script, it was a way to bring some continuity into the appearance of the book as a whole. It felt appropriate for the book to be small but strong as an object, so with the budget we saved by printing in only two colours, we were able to make the book hardback. It was finished with cut-flush edges, as this felt in keeping with the materiality of the rock, and in a small way, with the process of cutting into the rock face to create the power station.

        "raw_content": "The Model 70: A Study in Aesthetics\nWhere globalization and CNC meet art nouveau.\nTHE SUREST WAY TO BE OUT OF FASHION TOMMORROW is to be at the height of fashion today. That was the gospel of good taste according to 19th-century English arbiter of style, Beau Brummell, and over the intervening 200 years or so, he has been proved right again and again. Brummell\u2019s rule applies to rifles, just as it does to dinner jackets.\nFor the first third of its life\u2014roughly 1936 to 1963\u2014the Winchester Model 70 established the style and taste that other rifles tried to emulate. Although not perfect mechanically or aesthetically, the early Model 70s were better than anything else available, and they set the tone for all American bolt-action hunting rifles.\nThe old Model 70 achieved something beyond the realm of mere utility: Using it became a pleasure in itself.\nIt\u2019s not precisely known who gave the Model 70 the nickname \u201cthe Rifleman\u2019s Rifle,\u201d but the compliment stuck, and for good reason. A rifleman is someone who both knows about rifles and appreciates them in all their aspects. The Model 70 was not dubbed the Hunter\u2019s Rifle, although hunting was its primary purpose, or the Marksman\u2019s Rifle, although it won its share of medals over the years. What the Model 70 gave a rifleman was a combination of the finest steel available, nice walnut, good workmanship, a design that left very little to be desired, and finishing that denoted pride at every level in the factory\u2014 all wrapped up in a package that was a pleasure to use from a purely ergonomic point of view (although that odd word had yet to be coined).\nThe old Model 70 achieved something beyond the realm of mere utility: Using it became a pleasure in itself. That is a quality found in other famous products, from BMWs to Rolexes, and according to reports, such ultra-responsive mechanisms as Britain\u2019s Supermarine Spitfire in the Second World War. With some instruments, the tool becomes an extension of the user\u2019s body; in others, the user becomes an integral part of the tool.\nWith a rifle, that quality allows fast and accurate shooting, reacting effectively to sudden circumstances, and operation at all levels without conscious thought. Because the rifle is such a pleasure to use, you use it that much better.\nIf that\u2019s too esoteric, imagine a Cape buffalo bursting out of the bushes, or a snap shot at a disappearing whitetail. The importance of ergonomics in rifles\u2014and by extension, aesthetics\u2014can hardly be overstated. Aesthetics is connected to ergonomics through the rule of design that form must follow function, and graceful appearance becomes the visual actualization of ease of use.\nWinchester\u2019s employees in the 1930s probably didn\u2019t think in those terms, but they were all heirs to the principle of the earlier art nouveau movement, in which craftsmen sought to create \u201cusable art\u201d even in everyday objects. This was not art for art\u2019s sake; rather, it was art in the furtherance of utility. For a variety of reasons, including the aftereffects of the war, such artistic principles came into question in the 1950s. In some cases, they were deliberately discarded in favor of ugly utilitarianism, while in others they were replaced by an infatuation with skin-deep decoration.\nBy 1962, Winchester\u2019s production machinery for the Model 70 was fast wearing out, and decisions had to be made. Retooling is an expensive proposition, and it did not make sense to spend that money to continue with a frankly aging product, especially since the Rifleman\u2019s Rifle was under assault from competitors both technically and stylistically. The new Remington Model 700 was claiming greater strength, superior accuracy, and a hot new cartridge\u2014the 7 mm Remington Magnum. From the West Coast, Roy Weatherby was not only offering velocity and power with his line of cartridges, but he also had a strong \u201cmodern\u201d action (the Mark V) done up in trendy \u201cCalifornia\u201d style.\nThis, you may recall, was right around the time the 1959 Cadillac set a standard for tastelessness with tailfins that defied belief (and resist recollection), inspiring other cars to measure up (or down) to their level. In such a world, the Weatherby Mark V was almost conservative, and truth to tell, it has stood the test of time where tailfins have not. Personally, I like the Weatherby style because it is, contrary to most reports, eminently usable. Looks aside, it has all the ergonomic qualities desired, but accomplished in a different way. What I dislike are Weatherby imitators that either go too far (Winslow, et al) or timidly not far enough (almost everyone else), and give you the worst of both worlds.\nwinchester model 70Winchester rifles",

In fact, it has changed my whole perception of how to travel long term with regards to food preparation. In double fact, I claim that this is the perfect solution to cooking while on the road because it is lightweight and cheap.\nLast summer, I decided to cycle across Europe with some friends and for the most part, we skipped for our food. We had two requirements for how to cook our food \u2013 we needed a way to cook that was both cheap and light. I stumbled across a beer can stove on Tom\u2019s Bike Trip and then put it into action. It was genius and I can\u2019t recommend it enough.\nLeah, one of my wonderful travel companions (who goes by the online name of The Vegetarian Traveller) has now written a recipe / do it yourself guide book, entitled The Beer Can Cook Book (which I think is a fantastic idea). If you are going on a long term trip, I recommend you download and read it \u2013 it might just change the way you do things. Best of all, it\u2019s completely free and all recipes are vegetarian \u2013 useful when you are on the road and it is warm outside. Click here or the image to go to the download page.

        "title": "Chevron Shareholders Push for an End to Risky Political Spending \u2013 Green Century Funds",
        "raw_content": "Chevron Shareholders Push for an End to Risky Political Spending\nMay 30, 2013 \u2013 As Chevron* wraps up its most expensive year of political spending to date, its shareholders are challenging whether this spending generated any value for them. Green Century Capital Management filed a shareholder resolution urging the company to refrain entirely from political spending, arguing that doing so would protect against risks to shareholder value. The resolution was filed in light of Chevron\u2019s unprecedented $2.5 million contribution in the 2012 election.\n\u201cChevron has not been able or willing to demonstrate that its use of company funds generates any value to shareholders,\u201d stated Leslie Samuelrich, Senior Vice President, Green Century Capital Management. \u201cDuring a time when public opinion for corporate involvement in politics is plummeting, shareholders are also concerned about the reputational and business risks that may be associated with Chevron\u2019s highly visible involvement in politics.\u201d\nCorporate spending to influence elections is deeply unpopular with the majority of Americans across party lines. According to a 2012 poll by the Associated Press and the National Constitution Center, more than 8 in 10 Americans support limits on the amount of money given to groups trying to influence U.S. elections, with 85% support among Democrats, 81% among Republicans, and 78% among independents.\nChevron\u2019s contribution received significant media coverage, as the $2.5 million donation was the largest single corporate donation since the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling. This donation prompted the shareholder proposal and highlighted a trend of increased spending in politics by the company: Chevron reported spending at least $3.9 million in the 2012 election, up from $965,000 in the 2010 election cycle, and $1.1 million in the 2008 election cycle.\n\u201cUnlimited, corporate, and secret money continues to undermine the principle of \u2018one person, one vote\u2019 at every step of the electoral process, including at the ballot box through unfounded voter suppression,\u201d commented Democracy Advocate for U.S. PIRG Blair Bowie in a Huffington Post article. \u201cThis is why it\u2019s more important than ever that Americans use the power of our votes to push back and make our voices heard.\u201d\nIn light of the record spending levels in the 2012 elections, several academic studies have recently suggested that political spending represents a diversion of resources that may not, in fact, generate value to shareholders. Some reasons cited for these findings include the poor corporate governance policies in place to ensure that these measures align with the long-term interest of the company. Specifically, shareholders have limited power to monitor this use of company funds. Green Century notes the weak measures Chevron has in place to ensure the company\u2019s spending on politics is accountable and transparent to shareholders. As evidence for this, Green Century cites Chevron\u2019s score of 49/100 in the 2012 CPA-Zicklin Index, a collaboration between the Center for Political Accountability and Wharton\u2019s Zicklin Center to score S&P 100 companies on 25 indicators related to political spending disclosure, policies, compliance, and oversight.\nSimilar proposals have been filed this year at ExxonMobil,* 3M,* EQT,* and Bank of America.*\n*As of March 31, 2013, 3M Company and EQT Corporation comprised 0.00% and 1.09%, and 0.00% and 0.16% of the Green Century Balanced Fund and the Green Century Equity Fund, respectively. Other securities mentioned were not held in the portfolios as of March 31, 2013 .

Police believe Drano was also the substance used to paint the swastika stain on the roadway.\nOn Saturday night, officials said a homeowner power-washed the road and the highway division sent a crew to paint over the area with white paint until a more permanent fix is made.\nSwastika on western Greenwich street disgusts neighbors\nTesei said police are still trying to determine if the teenagers ringing doorbells and making the explosions were connected to the swastika. Police do not believe the incident was targeted against any one individual. However, the swastika was placed on the street during the Jewish High Holy Days, in the midst of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, and Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. Tesei said the act was insensitive and those responsible should be educated about how offensive the symbol is.\n\"I think they should be made to sit and hear a Holocaust speaker tell their story so they can understand the pain and suffering of such an atrocity,\" Tesei said. In the meantime, Tesei said police will be investigating and increasing patrols to make sure there are no repeat incidents.\n\"We are going to be stepping up our efforts to ensure this does not happen again.\"",

        "raw_content": "GW NROTC graduates: Serving in a new world\nBy Brandon Butler May 17, 2004 12:00 AM\nWhen this year\u2019s graduating Naval Reserve Training Officers Corps class came to GW four years ago, most U.S. troops were not engaged in combat.\nSince then, with the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been sent to conflict-ridden areas, and several GW graduates will undoubtedly be risking life and limb as they embark on their military careers.\nBut at their commissioning ceremony at the Iwo Jima Memorial Friday, officers showed no reservations about possibly being deployed to war-torn parts of the world.\n\u201cThe reason I joined was because I am willing to die for my country and willing to die protecting my family and friends\u2019 way of life,\u201d said graduating senior Jennifer Bacon, who will be going to Virginia to serve on the USS Tortuga. \u201cThis war on terrorism and war in Iraq isn\u2019t going to change that, it just makes it a lot more real.\u201d\nMarine and Navy officers said they are excited to have the chance to serve their country.\n\u201cI am as committed now as I was the first day, and I am ready and excited to go off and serve my nation,\u201d said Patrick Kay, a surface warfare officer who will report to San Diego.\nBacon and Kay, along with eight other GW graduates who became commissioned officers Friday, will soon be posted on ships and bases throughout the world as they begin their service in the Navy and Marine Corps.\n\u201cIt\u2019s going to be scary,\u201d said Katherine Kimsey, who will be going to Sasebo, Japan. \u201cBut the U.S. has been so good to me and my family that I felt it was my obligation to give something back to my country, and serving in the Navy is a great way to do that.\u201d\nSome parents of graduates said they are proud of their children even though they have safety concerns.\n\u201cNobody likes the thought of your son or daughter going away to a dangerous place,\u201d said John Peters, stepfather of 2nd Lt. Daniel Granger, who will be attending flight school in Pensacola, Fla. \u201cBut when it comes to protecting the freedoms and democracy that we value, I am proud to say that my son is standing up for those and serving our country.\u201d\nAfter four years of physical, mental and academic training, NROTC members were commissioned Friday morning by Rear Admiral Raymond Spicer, a decorated Naval director, at a memorial commemorating the sacrifices of soldiers during World War II.\nGW\u2019s NROTC program prepares 150 students from universities throughout the city to become officers in the Navy and Marine Corps. A total of 28 graduates from GW and other D.C. universities became officers Friday.\n\u201cThese officers are absolutely ready to serve their country and become leaders in the United States Navy,\u201d said Captain Peter Healy, the commanding officer of the GW NROTC program.\nAt Friday\u2019s ceremony, Spicer emphasized the selectivity of the NROTC program, which recruited 41,000 students nationwide compared to 57,000 four years ago.\n\u201c(W)e are spending less money recruiting less officers and are able to spend more money on our human capital and be even more selective in who we let in,\u201d he said.\nThe commissioned officers will pick specialties and serve their country in a variety of areas, including surface warfare, nuclear power training, artillery and aviation. They also get to choose from a \u201cwish list\u201d of locations around the world where they would like to report for duty.\nSenior officers offered advice to the new servicemen and women at Friday\u2019s ceremony.\n\u201cLeadership is why you are in the Navy,\u201d Spicer said. \u201cYou are here being commissioned today because you have shown that you have the ability to lead a group, and now will be entrusted with the lives of America\u2019s finest sons and daughters.\u201d\nBacon, a surface warfare officer who was one of the top students in this year\u2019s class, said the newly appointed officers will perform well in their posts.",

        "raw_content": "Qatar, in Swipe at Saudi Arabia, Is Pulling Out of OPEC\nOPEC 'managed by a country,' Qatar's Al-Kaabi says\nSaad al-Kaabi, chief executive of Qatar Petroleum, gestures as he speaks to reporters in Doha, Qatar, July 4, 2017.\\ Naseem Zeitoon/ REUTERS\nUnder Saudi threat, Qatar ramps up major air and sea power buildup\nSaudi Arabia's crown prince to visit Algeria after G-20 summit\nQatar said on Monday it was quitting OPEC from January to focus on its gas ambitions, taking a swipe at the group's de facto leader Saudi Arabia and marring efforts to show unity before this week's meeting of exporters to tackle an oil price slide.\nDoha, one of OPEC's smallest oil producers but the world's biggest liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporter, is embroiled in a protracted diplomatic row with Saudi Arabia and some other Arab states.\nQatar said its decision was not driven by politics but in an apparent swipe at Riyadh, Minister of State for Energy Affairs Saad al-Kaabi said: \"We are not saying we are going to get out of the oil business but it is controlled by an organisation managed by a country.\" He did not name the nation.\nAl-Kaabi told a news conference that Doha's decision \"was communicated to OPEC\" but said Qatar would attend the group's meeting on Thursday and Friday, and would abide by its commitments.\nHe said Doha would focus on its gas potential because it was not practical for Qatar \"to put efforts and resources and time in an organisation that we are a very small player in and I don't have a say in what happens.\"\nDelegates at OPEC, which has 15 members including Qatar, sought to play down the impact. But losing a long-standing member undermines a bid to show a united front before a meeting that is expected to back a supply cut to shore up crude prices that have lost almost 30 percent since an October peak.\n\"They are not a big producer, but have played a big part in it's (OPEC) history,\" one OPEC source said.\nIt highlights the growing dominance over policy making in the oil market of Saudi Arabia, Russia and the United States, the top world's three oil producers which together account for almost a third of global output. Riyadh and Moscow have been increasingly deciding output policies together, under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump on OPEC to bring down prices. Benchmark Brent is trading at around $62 a barrel, down from more than $86 in October.\n\"It could signal a historic turning point of the organisation towards Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States,\" said Algeria's former energy minister and OPEC chairman, Chakib Khelil, commenting on Qatar's move.\n\"UNILATERAL DECISIONS\"\nHe said Doha's exit would have a \"psychological impact\" because of the row with Riyadh and could prove \"an example to be followed by other members in the wake of unilateral decisions of Saudi Arabia in the recent past.\"\nQatar, which Al-Kaabi said had been a member of OPEC for 57 years, has oil output of just 600,000 barrels per day (bpd), compared with Saudi Arabia's 11 million bpd.\nBut Doha is an influential player in the global LNG market with annual production of 77 million tonnes per year, based on its huge reserves of the fuel in the Gulf.\nOPEC members Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and fellow Arab states Bahrain and Egypt, have imposed a political and economic boycott on Qatarsince June 2017, accusing it of supporting terrorism. Doha denies the charges and says the boycott aims to impinge on its sovereignty.\nAl-Kaabi, who is heading Qatar's OPEC delegation, said the decision was not political but related to the country's long-term strategy and plans to develop its gas industry and increase LNG output to 110 million tonnes by 2024.\n\"A lot of people will politicise it,\" Al-Kaabi said. \"I assure you this purely was a decision on what's right for Qatar long term. It's a strategy decision.\"\nOil surged about 5 percent on Monday after the United States and China agreed to a 90-day truce in their trade war, but prices remain well off October's peak.\nAsked if Qatar's withdrawal would complicate OPEC's decision this week, a non-Gulf OPEC source said: \"Not really, even if it's a regrettable and sad decision from one of our member countries.\"\nAmrita Sen, chief oil analyst at consultancy Energy Aspects, said Qatar's withdrawal \"doesn't affect OPEC's ability to influence as Qatar was a very small player.\"\nAl-Kaabi said Qatar Petroleum planned to raise its production capability from 4.8 million barrels oil equivalent per day to 6.5 million barrels in the next decade. Doha also plans to build the largest ethane cracker in the Middle East.\nHe said Qatar would still look to expand its oil investments abroad and would \"make a big splash in the oil and gas business\".",

        "title": "Chemical Peel in Honolulu, Hawaii | Straub Cosmetic Surgery",
        "raw_content": "Straub Cosmetic Surgery / Skin / Chemical Peel\nChemical peels are used to smooth the texture of the skin on the face, neck or hands by removing its damaged outer layers. By applying a chemical solution to the skin, this technique exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal new, regenerated skin that is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.\nHow is the chemical peel procedure performed?\nThe procedure is done in an operating room under sedation. First, the skin is cleaned to remove normal oils and greases generated by the skin. Next, the peel solution (a diluted acid) is applied to the skin with cotton swabs. There is usually a mild burning sensation during this part of the procedure, but that feeling will disappear after a short time. The treated area is then covered with strips of tape or an ointment.\nWill the chemical peel surgery result in permanent scarring?\nSkin loss or scarring is very rare. Areas that are prone to developing scarring, such as the neck, are never peeled.\nHow long does the chemical peel procedure take?\nDepending on the type of chemical used and the coverage area, a typical peel can take anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours to perform.\nHow long is the recovery time for a chemical peel?\nWith an AHA peel, the temporary redness, flaking and dryness that you experience will not prevent you from working or engaging in your normal activities. However, with more-aggressive peel solutions, like TSA and phenol, there may be a longer period of recovery that may require a delay in returning to work.\nWill I need anesthesia for a chemical peel?\nAnesthesia is not required for phenol or TCA peels since the chemical solution acts as an anesthetic. However, sedation may be used before and during the procedure to relax you and keep you comfortable.\nAm I a good candidate for a chemical peel?\nA chemical peel is most commonly performed on patients for cosmetic reasons to enhance appearance and self-confidence. A chemical peel also may remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and even control acne.\nWhat are the possible risks and complications of a chemical peel?\nProblems are infrequent if the postoperative care is carefully outlined and followed. \u201cFever blisters\u201d (localized herpes infections) infrequently flare up in treated areas, but an antiviral drug can be used to combat this. It is possible to have a peel that will result in skin loss or scarring. This is a drastic complication. It is very rare and, in our experience, it has not happened with the type of treatment we use. Areas that are prone to develop scarring, such as the neck, are never peeled. Precautions are taken to try to keep this complication at a minimum.\nHypopigmentation is a lightening of the skin color. After peel, dermabrasion or laser treatments, it is common for the skin to be a shade lighter in color. Usually, this difference is minimal. In persons with very light skin, freckles, blue eyes and reddish-blond hair, hypopigmentation can be exaggerated and almost chalk white. For persons with this type skin, a peel might be contra-indicated.\nHyperpigmentation is a dark discoloration of the skin that can happen after a chemical peel. This pigmentation is a function of heredity and sunlight exposure. It happens most frequently in people with dark complexions (dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin). Patients are evaluated with this in mind, and if there is a possibility of hyperpigmentation, a small test treatment site may be advised.\nSometimes, Retin A \u2013 a prescription medication derived from vitamin A \u2013 is used to pretreat the skin. This thins out the skin's surface layer, allowing the TCA solution to penetrate more deeply and evenly. If your skin won't tolerate Retin-A pretreatment, an AHA cream may be used instead.\nThe bleaching agent hydroquinone is sometimes used in conjunction with Retin-A or AHA pretreatment, especially if you have blotchy skin areas or pigmentation problems. You may have to spend a month or more in the pretreatment phase before the doctor will schedule your actual peel.\nHyperpigmentation can happen in women on birth control pills. Patients who are taking this medication should make this known to the physician.\nDuring the first three months post-treatment, it is important that you control sun exposure and use a sunscreen as prescribed. This is done because the tender, new skin is susceptible to hyperpigmentation, or dark discoloration, if exposed to significant sunlight.\nThe possibility of skin darkening is a possibility in persons who have dark skin coloration. Your particular case will be evaluated and if it appears that you are a high risk for pigmentation, a test may be performed on a small area of skin to determine if the procedure is advisable for you.",

With less than 2000 permanent residents, this island is truly off the beaten track \u2013 in fact its remoteness is the islands biggest attraction. Most travellers looking for a beach stay skip it entirely and choose to stay in more popular tourist destinations. However, despite being largely underdeveloped, there is plenty to do.\nExplore dense jungles, secret waterfalls, white deserted beaches and sleepy fishing villages. This is the Thailand of yesteryear. The entire island has a relatively untouched eco-system, above and below the water. Take a kayak along the shore to explore the sandy bays and swim and snorkel in the warm, crystal clear water.\nAt night, keep a look out for sparkling clusters of fireflies, sometimes you will see thousands of them in one tree, glittering away like a giant disco ball.\nThe best time to visit is between November and the end of April. At this time, it is cool, dry and mainly sunny. Koh Kood is reached by a short flight from Bangkok to Trat airport, and then a boat transfer to the island.\nIf you would like to visit Koh Kood as part of a Multi centre holiday, this is the perfect place to relax after a city break in Bangkok;\nLargely uninhabited\nDense jungle eco-system\nSmall fishing village community\nVisa Information British passport holders do not require a visa to visit Koh Kood if staying under 30 days.\nFlight Time Approx. 11 hours to Bangkok from the UK, then a short flight to Trat and a boat transfer to the island.",

        "raw_content": "At least once every three years, each parcel of property in Hays County is visited and reviewed by an appraiser (or data collector) from the appraisal district in accordance with Texas Law.\nDuring that visit, the appraiser reviews property characteristics and records any changes from the last review cycle. (For example, if you have added or removed a barn or shed). The appraiser also looks closely at your improvements (houses or buildings) to see if there is any change in the exterior condition of your property.\nAppraisal district appraisers never ask to inspect your home from the interior.\nTypically, an appraiser will validate the:\nsize and type of your improvements and note any additions,\nconstruction quality and condition of your improvements, and\nsite characteristics.\nIf your property has an interior problem that is not visible from the exterior, an appraiser may review the interior of your home with you present or you may submit photos or repair estimate, etc.\nUsing these facts, the appraisal district will determine the market value of your property as of January 1 using the generally accepted three methods of appraisal if applicable:\nSales comparison/market approach\nBecause the appraisal district is placing a value on a large number of properties annually, we must utilize applicable features of each method and apply them uniformly to similar properties in a process known as mass appraisal.\nIn order to determine the value of your property, the appraisal district must first know what properties have sold, and how much they are selling for in today\u2019s market. By maintaining a database of real estate transactions, we can arrive at the property value by studying sales of comparable properties.\nThis method of appraising property is based on how much it would cost today to build an identical structure on the property. If the property is not new, we must also determine how much value the building has lost over time due to depreciation.\nThis method is preferred when appraising an income producing property. This approach determines value through analysis of income and expenses to determine market value. Consideration is given for operating expenses, maintenance costs, and the return (or profit) that could be reasonably expected on the property.\nThere are generally only two kinds of appraisal: fee appraisal and mass appraisal. Both types of appraisals utilize the same basic appraisal principles and theories. A fee appraisal utilizes the three methods discussed above but with only one parcel of property being valued. Mass appraisal values the entire county where market areas, neighborhoods, subdivisions, and large groupings of similar properties are appraised at one time by adopted standards.\nMarket Value and Assessed Value \u2013 What\u2019s the difference?\nWhen you receive a Notice of Appraised Value from the appraisal district in April (or May), you will see a listing of market values both from last year and proposed for this year for your land and improvements. If you have a residential homestead exemption on your property, you might notice that your assessed value is less than your market value. That\u2019s because in most cases, Texas law provides that the assessed value of a residence homestead property can only increase by ten percent per year, regardless of how much the market value increases. (Your assessed value may increase at a rate of ten percent per year until it matches the district\u2019s appraised market value.)\nIf you have applied for and are receiving a special valuation for agricultural, timber, or wildlife management use on your land, you will also see the productivity value that has been assigned to your property. In this case, your taxes in October will be based upon the productivity value rather than the market value of the property.\nHow can the Appraised value change from year to year?\nProperty tax is \u201cad valorem\u201d which means \u201cbased upon value.\u201d When the market value of a property changes, so may its appraised value. Your property\u2019s market value can change as a result of the economy in general or because of changes you\u2019ve made to the property, making it more valuable. A sluggish economy, slow growth, and no demand or few potential buyers in the market may cause a decline in property values. Likewise, a growing economy with rapid growth may cause a rapid increase in property values.\nWhat if I disagree with the value placed on my property by the appraisal district?\nIf you disagree with the value that has been proposed on your property, you should file a written protest to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) and submit it to the appraisal district by the protest deadline printed on your Notice of Appraised Value. The ARB is a panel of local citizens that will listen to evidence presented by both you and the appraisal district and make a determination regarding the issues you have protested.\nAppraised Value and the Tax Rate\nAppraisal district appraisers are not the tax collector, and have nothing to do with the total amount of taxes assessed. The appraisal district is only responsible for determining what the market value of your property was on January 1.\nThe taxing jurisdictions (county, cities, schools, hospital districts, and water districts) determine your tax burden based upon the tax rates they adopt to fund their operating budgets.\nThese tax rates are expressed as a dollar amount for every $100 of taxable value and are adopted every year in August public hearings.\nHow are my taxes calculated?\nYour taxes are calculated by dividing your taxable value by one hundred and multiplying by the jurisdiction\u2019s tax rate. For example:\nLess Exemptions -$25,000\nApply Tax Rate $0.50 per $100\nAssessed Taxes $375.00\nIs there anything I can do to lessen my tax burden?\nThere are a variety of exemptions that are available to homeowners and disabled veterans. If you own a farm or ranch, or grow some type of crop, you may be eligible to receive a special valuation under the provisions of open space land where your taxes will be based upon your land\u2019s productivity capability rather than its market value.",

        "raw_content": "In Vasquez v. San Miguel Produce, Inc. et al. (B287696, 2019 Cal.App. LEXIS 79, publication order 1/3/19), the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District held that a non-signatory to an arbitration agreement had the power to compel arbitration under California Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.2 since its workers had a labor law claim against it that was deeply rooted in its employment relationship with a signatory to the agreement.\nPlaintiffs Antonia Vasquez and Cecilia Zacarias (\u201cPlaintiffs\u201d) were hired by Employer\u2019s Depot, Inc. (\u201cEDI\u201d), a staffing agency to work on assignment. Plaintiffs and EDI agreed in writing to arbitrate \u201call disputes that may arise within the employment context.\u201d EDI assigned Plaintiffs to pack produce for San Miguel Produce, Inc. (\u201cSMP\u201d) for one to two months. Plaintiffs sued SMP for labor law violations but failed to name EDI as a party to the Complaint even though it indicated Plaintiffs \u201cwere employed jointly by [SMP] and a temporary services employer [EDI].\u201d SMP filed a cross-complaint against EDI claiming them as an indispensable party and blaming them for Plaintiffs\u2019 alleged damages. SMP and EDI jointly moved to compel arbitration pursuant to section 1281.2. The trial court denied the motion and agreed with Plaintiffs that SMP \u201ccannot compel arbitration because it is not a signatory to the [arbitration] agreement.\u201d\nCalifornia\u2019s Second Appellate District ultimately ruled that arbitration is mandated since SMP and EDI were \u201cco-employers with an identity of interests and mutual responsibility for complying with state law governing employers.\u201d It found that Plaintiffs had agreed to arbitrate \u201call disputes\u201d arising from their employment, thus it was inconsequential that Plaintiff failed to name EDI as a defendant.\nThe Court reasoned that Plaintiff could not seek an end-run around the arbitration agreement by \u201csuing non-signatory defendants for claims that are \u2018based on the same facts and are inherently inseparable\u2019 from arbitrable claims against signatory defendants.\u201d Furthermore, the court concluded that SMP and EDI, as co-employers of Plaintiffs, had an \u201cagency relationship\u201d wherein SMP acted as EDI\u2019s agent by \u201ccollecting and providing employee records so that [Plaintiffs] could be paid.\u201d Therefore, SMP, as EDI\u2019s agent, could compel Plaintiffs to arbitration since the entire suit arose from Plaintiffs initial employment with EDI.\nThe decision in Vasquez along with the recent holding in Cohen v. TNP 2008 Participating Notes Program, et al. (B266702, 2019 Cal.App. LEXIS 76, publication order 1/31/19), suggests California courts are taking an increasingly broad view of arbitration agreements, especially as it relates to their impact and enforceability against non-signatories that have a modest corporate or business agency relationship to a signatory.\nThis document is intended to provide you with information about employment & labor law related developments.

        "title": "Alcohol: Americans Drinking More",
        "raw_content": "Why Are Americans Drinking More?\nWritten by Jim Pietrangelo on August 22, 2017\nNew study reveals that alcohol consumption is rising among Americans of all ages. Stress, movies, availability, and even terrorism are among the reasons.\nOn a list published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), alcoholic beverages are included as Group 1 carcinogens.\nThat means the innocent glass or two of wine you may enjoy each day, thinking that it might be good for your heart, could actually increase your risk for cancer.\nAnd people in the United States seem to be incurring this risk more and more often.\nUsing data gathered from more than 43,000 participants, researchers in a new study say they have uncovered some disturbing trends in the use and overuse of alcohol among U.S. adults.\nThe study explores alcohol use, high-risk drinking, and alcohol use disorder (AUD) for a 12-month period that ended in June 2013.\nResearchers compared the study findings against results of a similarly timed study that ended June 2002. That earlier study used data from more than 36,000 people.\nResearch data shows a somewhat steady use of alcohol between the early 1970s and early 1990s.\nThen things began to change.\nData collected over the next 10 years shows a nearly 50 percent increase in the rate of alcohol use by the early 2000s.\nDuring that time, high-risk drinking behavior and AUD rates also rose, although to a lesser extent.\nNow, alarm bells are clanging throughout the medical community.\nWhat was a cause for concern in 2002 has elevated to a full-scale public health crisis.\nScientists say the increases in multiple health conditions and diseases caused by higher rates of alcohol consumption will reduce society\u2019s overall productivity, and place greater financial and emotional stress on families and relationships.\nThe new study shows the more abusive forms of alcohol use, high-risk drinking and AUD, are increasing at faster rates (29 percent and 49 percent) than alcohol use below those levels (11 percent).\nHigh-risk drinking was considered drinking more than the daily limit at least once a week over the course of the 12-month study.\nThe daily limit was four standard drinks for women and five for men.\nAnalysis of study data shows that higher rates of increase exist among women, minorities, the older population, as well as those on the lower end of the income scale.\nReasons for increase are unclear\nThe authors of the study said they do not have a definitive answer as to why rates of alcohol use have risen so dramatically.\nHowever, there are plenty of opinions from experts on why drinking may be rising.\nDr. John F. Kelly, associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and founder and director of the Recovery Research Institute, suggested that some of the problem is lack of education about risks associated with drinking alcohol.\n\u201cPeople don\u2019t realize that alcohol is a level 1 carcinogen. It\u2019s known to cause cancer. It\u2019s recognized as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Cancer Research, and it doesn\u2019t take very much alcohol to increase one\u2019s risk for cancer, particularly cancer of the breast in women,\u201d Kelly told Healthline.\nIn addition, alcohol gets plenty of media coverage, thanks in part to advertisements and strategic product placement in both movies and on television.\nIt is commonplace in these settings to see alcohol consumed, often in unrealistic amounts, with no sign of drunkenness or other side effects.\nDr. Ed Salsitz, addiction medicine specialist at Mount Sinai Beth Israel, also sees entertainment media as a factor.\n\u201cI think that risky alcohol consumption continues to be glamorized in the movies and on television,\u201d Salsitz told Healthline.\nOn some TV shows, observed Salsitz, \u201cthey drink alcohol the same way I would drink water or another nonalcoholic beverage. Morning, noon, or night \u2014 whatever they\u2019re doing, they pour a shot and drink it.\u201d\n\u201cMaybe it\u2019s because the perception of harm from alcohol has decreased,\u201d added Salsitz. \u201cThere\u2019s been these articles over the years saying that a moderate amount of alcohol, not only is not harmful, but could be beneficial for cardiac health.\u201d\nKelly also pointed to sensationalized headlines and articles that gloss over or ignore the downside of excess alcohol use.\n\u201cYou often see presented in the media reports where they\u2019re actually talking about correlational studies which purport to say that drinking is good for your health,\u201d he said.\n\u201cI\u2019ve even seen where it says that having a glass of red wine is as good as going to the gym,\u201d Kelly added. \u201cThat makes for great headlines that people love to read. The problem is that it\u2019s just not true.\u201d\n\u201cIn all likelihood,\u201d Kelly surmised, \u201calcohol does not protect you by itself.\u201d\nTerrorism and the culture of fear\nDr. Carole Lieberman calls herself the \u201cterrorist therapist.\u201d\nShe says the impact of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on America\u2019s psyche has much to do with the increases shown in the study.\n\u201cThe escalation of alcohol use in the first decade of the 21st century is due to the continuing psychological impact of 9/11,\u201d wrote Lieberman. \u201cThis event has shattered our sense of security and caused anxiety, PTSD, depression, and other symptoms of stress. People are drinking to escape the new reality \u2014 not only of 9/11 \u2014 but, of the ongoing daily threat of terrorism.\u201d\nWhile few believe fear of terror to be the primary cause of increased alcohol use, there is some thought that the media plays up the fear of terror.\n\u201cThe media is not really there to tell the news,\u201d said Kelly. \u201cThey\u2019re just there to sell advertising. So they want to dramatize. They know that what sells and what keeps people watching is fear and dread and bad news, not the good news. It\u2019s the bad news.\u201d\nEveryday stress contributes\nThat reasoning also leads to the theory that increased levels of stress found in everyday life play a part in helping to explain why more people are using alcohol these days.\n\u201cLife has become more complex for most people,\u201d observed Salsitz.\n\u201cI think the whole computer thing, the emails, the text messages, you\u2019re on 24/7,\u201d added Salsitz. \u201cIt\u2019s very rare that somebody goes on a vacation and can shut down and say \u2018I\u2019m not available.\u2019 And I think that, whatever that is, with all the screens, and all the communication, that constantly being available\u2026 I think that is part of what\u2019s going on.\u201d\nIncreased stress in daily life is not strictly an American phenomenon.\nCanadian naturopathic physician, Dr. Andrea Maxim, BSc, ND, told Healthline, \u201cI certainly have noticed a marked increase in alcohol consumption with my patients. Considering the average male is allowed seven drinks per week, the average female five drinks per week, I have seen patients that are doing that over the course of one to two days.\u201d\n\u201cOne of the most common reasons I see this is usually related to stress or anxiety management. Adults have never been more overworked, more stressed, lacked more sleep, and have been more strapped for time than in the past five years,\u201d said Maxim.\n\u201cWomen especially,\u201d continued Maxim, \u201care stretching themselves beyond what is physically capable of themselves \u2014 working full time, taking care of children, and taking care of a home. In some women, I have seen an entire bottle of alcohol consumed per night.\u201d\nKelly said there are two factors that influence the consumption of alcohol.\nThey are price and availability.\nHe believes we can slow or reverse the trend toward greater alcohol use by levying additional taxes on alcohol and making it more difficult to purchase and use the product.\nKelly points to the dramatic decrease in tobacco use following the imposition of increased taxes, higher prices, and laws making it more difficult to use the product in public.\n\u201cTobacco,\u201d said Kelly, \u201chas a major impact on mortality. Alcohol has a bigger impact on morbidity. It\u2019s also a major contributor to premature mortality, shortening the lifespan by 30 years on average for people who have an alcohol use disorder.\u201d\nThat\u2019s a lot of time to lose.\nCOPD and Alcohol: Is There a Connection?\nCombining Antibiotics and Alcohol: Is It Safe?\nThe Best Alcoholism Blogs of 2018\nDoes Alcohol Thin Your Blood?\nA Mixologist\u2019s Recipe for a Healthy Happy Hour\nCOPD is common in people who smoke.

        "title": "Primary school expansion approved despite protests - Henley Standard",
        "raw_content": "Primary school expansion approved despite protests\nPLANS to expand Benson Primary School have been approved despite widespread objections.\nThe Oxford Road school will build a block of three classrooms on part of its playing field ready for use by the start of the academic year in September 2020.\nThe new building and a hard play area will take up a quarter of the field, which is in the Benson conservation area.\nThe school says more space is needed to meet the extra demand for places caused by hundreds of new homes being built and that another three classrooms may be needed by 2024.\nOxfordshire County Council, the education authority, approved its own plans last week despite criticism by South Oxfordshire District Council, the planning authority, which said the scheme should be redesigned.\nBenson Parish Council also objected, saying the plans could lead to the rest of the field being built on in the future.\nThe proposal was also criticised by Mark Gray, who is Benson\u2019s representative on the county council, and Councillor Sue Cooper, who represents the village on the district council, who said the playing field should not be built on and the county council should come up with an alternative plan.\nCouncillor Gray called the decision to grant planning permission \u201ctremendously short-sighted\u201d.\nHe said: \u201cI don\u2019t have any issue with the building itself, my issue is with the loss of the playing field and the future. What really concerns me is we\u2019re losing 25 per cent of the school field now and we\u2019re going to lose another chunk in a few years\u2019 time to make the school fully two-form entry.\n\u201cI completely understand the school has got an issue in that they get more and more kids referred to them and they need to find space.\n\u201cBut there\u2019s time and I thought there was time for a proper root and branch look at what could be done.\n\u201cThey should have looked at a solution that properly integrated the new building into the existing one rather than building a separate self-contained building in the grounds.\n\u201cI\u2019m not criticising the school in any way \u2014 I wouldn\u2019t dream of doing that \u2014 I think the whole planning system needs to be looked at.\n\u201cThe committee could only look at what was in front of them. They can\u2019t look four or five years into the future and we\u2019re storing up problems for the future.\u201d\nCouncillor Cooper said: \u201cIt\u2019s really sad that the county council are taking such a short-term view of educational provision in Benson.\n\u201cThe fact that Benson needs more school places is not in dispute. We have got 800 extra houses and that\u2019s supposed to generate 200 children. I would rather we kept Benson as it is at the moment and built a new school so there were two.\n\u201cThis particular plan is in the wrong place on that site. You don\u2019t dig up the middle of the one remaining green space in the conservation area. I don\u2019t think extending the school is a stupid idea, it just needs to be done rather better.\u201d\nCouncillor Bill Pattison, who is chairman of the parish council, said: \u201cI\u2019m of the opinion, as are many around the village, that this will work as a short-term fix but in the long term there still won\u2019t be sufficient school space. At some point there will be more expansion.\u201d He said the playing field, which as bought by public subscription in 1945, was gradually disappearing.\nCllr Pattison added: \u201cThe neighbourhood plan is supposed to be protection for the village but if it doesn\u2019t suit the requirements of others we\u2019re a bit stuffed to be honest.\n\u201cAs far as I understand it, any development of 700 houses or more has to include a new junior school but because our developments are fragmented none of the individual sites has to provide any schooling facilities. But that doesn\u2019t diminish the number of houses or the potential school places that are going to be required.\u201d\nA report to the county council\u2019s planning and regulation committee said: \u201cIt is unfortunate that it was not possible to locate the additional classrooms closer to the existing school building.\n\u201cHowever, the school site would still have open grassed areas at its western end, so although the area of open space would be reduced, a substantial proportion of it would be retained.\n\u201cWhile the concerns raised by the district council and parish council are noted, the expansion of the school is intended to serve the local growth in population through local housing developments.\n\u201cThe impact on the character and appearance of the conservation area has to be weighed against the strong national policy support for the expansion of schools.\u201d\nHelen Crolla, the school\u2019s headteacher, said: \u201cWe want to reassure parents that regardless of the expansion, our aim is to maintain the nurturing ethos and values of our school, providing a balanced and rounded curriculum.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "We\u2019re at that time of year where ghost stories are told to give you chills up your spine. The spirits of the dead are not always human. Sometimes the spirits of our four legged companions are still there guarding and remaining loyal long past their deaths. Below are some of our favorite ghost stories about dog spirits that haunt and guard certain areas today.\nDambusters dog\nDigger was a black Labrador that belonged to Wing Commander Guy Gibson of the British Royal Air Force. He was considered the mascot for the No. 617 Squadron. The squadron was famous for its night time raid on three dams in Germany.\nPhoto of Digger with his troops\nOn the night of a raid, Digger was hit by a car outside the base and killed. Gibson believed it was a bad omen ordering that the death be kept a secret and Digger be buried outside his office at midnight.\nDigger's name was used as a code word when Germany's dams were breached during the famous mission.\nToday, some people believe that Digger still haunts the area. In fact, a photograph taken during the 1980s launched an investigation into paranormal activity around the base.\nThe picture shows a black Labrador sitting beside a school group visiting the Dambusters memorial. The photographer claims the dog appeared just as the photo was about to be taken and refused to be shooed away. Once he snapped the picture, the dog disappeared and was never seen again.\nGhost hunters who have visited the base say they\u2019re convinced the spirit of Digger still lingers by his grave and his master\u2019s memorial. They cite cold spots that measure roughly the size of a dog, as well as late-night growls heard by witnesses outside Gibson\u2019s former office.\nBlack dog of the Hanging Hills\nThe Black dog has a reputation of being friendly, but it\u2019s said to make no sound and leave no paw prints. Folklore says that the spirit of the black dog has been haunting the Hanging Hills of Connecticut near Hubbard Park for more than a century.\nAccording to legend, to see the black dog for the first time results in joy while a second sighting results in misfortune. Seeing the dog a third time is said to be a death omen, with at least six deaths have been blamed on the dog.\nOne of the first accounts of the Hanging Hills dog was written by geologist W.H.C. Pynchon and appeared in Connecticut Quarterly in 1898. According to his story, he was conducting research on a cliff with fellow geologist Herbert Marshall in 1891 when they both saw the dog. Pynchon had seen the dog before, while Marshall had seen the dog twice before but didn\u2019t believe in the legend. Shortly after encountering the pooch, Marshall slipped on ice falling to his death. Sightings of the black dog spirit continue today.\nHound of Goshen\nFor more than 150 years, people have reported seeing a large white dog in the Ebenezer Church cemetery in Newberry, S.C., as well as along the 5-mile stretch of Buncombe Road that runs from Newberry to Goshen Hill, S.C. Witnesses say the dog appears suddenly beside your vehicle, and if you stop, it will step in front of your car, throw its head back and howl. According to one legend, the dog\u2019s master was buried in the old cemetery and the dog laid on his grave until it died of starvation. However, other people believe in a much more grisly tale.\nThe second, more popular story is that the dog was the companion of a traveling salesman more than a century ago. While the salesman was in Goshen Hill, a towns person was murdered and the salesman was the prime suspect. After an unfair trial, the man was found guilty and hanged from a tree. Even though the salesman hung lifeless, his loyal white dog stood guard over his master\u2019s corpse.\nWeeks later, both the dog and the body disappeared. Those involved in the salesman\u2019s lynching were attacked by the white dog one by one. Those who survived the dog\u2019s bites reported the white dog didn\u2019t appear until they passed by the tree where the salesman had been hanged.",

        "raw_content": "All About Post-War Architecture\nAfter World War II and the Korean War, soldiers needed a place to call home. These houses were built fast, but well.\nBy: Geoff Williams\nModern Design Styles\nYou've seen post-war houses -- you may even live in one. They're everywhere -- those single-story houses, sometimes split-level homes, that are boxy, brick and ordinary. Homes built after World War II were dubbed post-war, and you'll find that homes built at that time tend to come in certain styles, such as ranch or Cape Cod. Your basic post-war house is known for being basic. These houses are more functional than fun.\nIn New York City real estate, post-war is used to describe high-rise apartment buildings that offer residents amenities they didn't have during the pre-war era, such as an elevator or doorman. Like their single-family home counterparts, post-war buildings are known for function rather than beauty.\nA post-war house, thought of as a home built in the late 1940s throughout the 1970s, is tagged for having a sameness to them, where they're indistinguishable from the rest of the neighborhood. But what they lack in originality, they make up in their dependable sturdiness.\nThese homes are rooted in American history, possibly some of the few home styles you learned about in high school. They were built as the American soldiers returned from fighting in World War II. Government legislation, such as the Federal Housing Administration and Servicemen's Readjustment Act, helped to fuel the housing industry -- which had been flagging in the 1930s and 1940s -- and suddenly millions of Americans across the country were buying up single-family houses.\nBuilders could hardly build them fast enough, which is why much of the artistry in houses found during the pre-war period started to disappear. But, again, that isn't to malign the post-war house. While the artistry may be missing in the post-war home, the craftsmanship isn't. As a group, these are durable, solid houses with a lot going for them.\nOne of many similar-sized houses in the neighborhood. It may look different -- some neighborhoods have the cookie cutter feeling, and many don't. But a post-war house is probably in a large neighborhood with a modest-sized, half-acre or less backyard.\nSmall living space. Of course, there are exceptions, but frequently, these are homes with four to six rooms and less than 1,000 square feet of living space.\nPicture windows. A picture window at the front of the home provides a view of the front street.\nKitchen facing the backyard. The kitchen typically has a window allowing for a view of the backyard, and usually a back door.\nPitched roof. The Cape Cod version of the post-war home often had a pitched roof, which meant there was space for an upstairs attic space.\nGarages. It seems crazy to imagine that there wasn't a time when attached garages and carports existed, but by the post-war years, the car was a firmly established member of the family. While houses before World War II might come without a garage, that wasn't the case for the post-war home.\nAmenities. In New York City real estate, post-war buildings offer residents amenities for a community fee, such as doorman service, elevator or laundry facilities.\nArapahoe Acres. This Colorado neighborhood of 124 was constructed between 1949 and 1957 by legendary building developer Edward Hawkins. In some way, the homes weren't your typical post-war houses -- much of the building materials were concrete, glass and aluminum, and they had a unique, futuristic look. Nothing cookie cutter about Arapahoe Acres, and yet, like post-war houses, the builders set out -- and achieved -- to create low-cost and functional homes. The homes, which are still around today and are protected, in fact, by being on the National Register of Historic Places, are small compared to today's homes but right in line with the size of homes built in the 1950s. One very unusual feature for a post-war home: Many of the main doors are on the side of the house rather than in the front.\nThe Case Study Houses. From 1945 to 1962, the magazine Arts & Architecture sponsored a project in which they commissioned prominent architects of the era to design and build inexpensive and functional model homes for all of the soldiers coming in and causing the residential housing boom. There were 36 designs, although not all of the homes were built; most that were, were in Los Angeles, with a few in San Francisco and one in Phoenix. While some homes were opulent -- a couple were built in one of the wealthiest communities in the world, Bel Air -- Arts & Architecture mandated in the project that each \"house must be capable of duplication and in no sense be an individual 'performance.'\" They wanted the best materials for the home, but the designs to be \"general enough to be of practical assistance to the average American in search of a home in which he can afford to live.\"\nThe older a house, the more one has to worry about things like the electrical outlets, the plumbing and the roof. On the other hand, one could say the same about a house built 10 years ago, and many people would argue that these older homes of 70 years are sturdier than some houses built within the last 20 years. A home inspection will tell you whether you really need to worry or not.\nSome post-war houses are smaller in size than the houses of today. If you have children or are a pack rat, that could be a problem. On the other hand, says Raissa Reid, a New York-based Realtor with ERA Tucker Associates and member of the ERA Historic Properties program, \"I'm finding now that families that have raised their kids and are looking to scale down, a lot of them want a single-family home and are buying the post-war houses. They'll tell me, 'I don't want to be going up and downstairs -- I want one-story living.' So there is still that market for that type of home again.\"\nAnd why not? Smaller homes also mean smaller mortgage and utility bills.\nChances are, most of these post-war homes will be far and away from the newest, most modern suburbs, or the newest part of town.\nBut that doesn't mean you should look for a neighborhood that's a dump. As Reid observes, a lot of buyers want these post-war houses \"specifically for the land.\" They're often in good neighborhoods, and so some wealthy homebuyers will tear down the house and rebuild, sometimes horrifying -- it should be noted -- a lot of admirers of modern architecture and preservationists. In 2002, for instance, some buyers allegedly promised they would maintain and care for a house designed in 1962 by Richard Neutra (once on the cover of Time and someone who participated in the Case Study Houses project); within 30 days of purchasing the home, the wrecking ball smashed it to smithereens.\nIn any case, you'll recognize the communities where the post-war homes live. They have strong, sturdy trees, not to mention sidewalks, parks and schools. In short, they're neighborhoods where people like to live.\nAll About Pre-War Architecture\nThese homes may be old, but they're full of spunk and charisma.\nModern Austin Home Designed for Function, Livability\nMF Architecture's focus on how an Austin, Texas, home will function practically while embracing its surroundings results in a modern structure that's effortlessly stylish.\nExplore an eclectic mix of design details and floor plan features from HGTV Smart Home 2015.\nA Modern Flat-Screen TV and Entertainment Center Solution\nA family entertainmnet center goes from old-school to modern.

This study investigated the extent to which radiation can be used as an intervention to improve the safety and quality of poultry feed in terms of food borne pathogens and antibiotic resistant microbes. Mean counts of control feed samples were Log10 5.98 for total viable count (TVC), Log10 4.76 for coliform count (CC), Log10 2.89 for Staphylococcus aureus count (STC), and Log10 4.57 for yeast and mold count (YMC) and Salmonella spp. (SC) was not detected (ND). All counts were within permissible levels except for CC (Log10 4.76) which was above the permissible limit of \u2264 log10 4.0. Identified bacteria isolates were Enterobacter cloacae (54.5%), Bacillus cereus (27.3%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.2%). All (100%) isolates exhibited multidrug Resistance (MDR) with Bacillus cereus being the most resistant (to 9 out of 11 antibiotics) followed by Enterobacter cloacae/Klebsiella pneumoniae (4 out of 11 antibiotics). Several resistance patterns were observed with PEN/AMP/FLX being the commonest (100%), followed by ERY (90.9%), TET (72.7%), CRX (66.6%), CTX (45.4%), CHL/CTR (36.4%), GEN (27.3%), and COT (18.2%). Klebsiella pneumoniae showed zero resistance to GEN/CHL/CTR/CTX/CRX while Enterobacter cloacae and Bacillus cereus exhibited zero resistance to GEN and COT, respectively. The most effective antibiotic against Gram negative bacteria (Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae) was gentamicin while cotrimoxazole was the most effective against Bacillus cereus (Gram positive). Radiation processing of 5kGy totally eliminated all microbes including MDR food borne pathogens. In view of this, we recommend low dose radiation decontamination as a measure to mitigate against the possible food safety and public health risks to humans associated with poultry feed.\nAnimal feed has been known to contribute to the disease burden of man via the food chain [1]. Concern about the food safety risk to humans associated with animal feed however gained prominence only when Creutzfeldt-Jakob (\u2018mad cow\u2019) disease was first described in humans [1, 2]. Contaminated poultry products contribute significantly to food-borne bacterial diseases (FBD) [3, 4], the impact of which is significantly linked to high morbidity and mortality globally [5]. Economic impact of food safety outbreaks on food businesses and the effect of food borne diseases on a nation\u2019s economy has been documented (Hussain et al., 2018). Evidence specifically establishes that when animals reared for their meat are colonized by Salmonella and other bacteria pathogens, these pathogens can be spread to humans via the food chain [1, 6]. Unfortunately, the food-borne bacterial pathogen risk to humans associated with poultry feed has not been given the desired attention. Current drivers of FBDs like emergence of new pathogens [7], emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria, a growing size of immunocompromised population [5] and a change in cooking habits call for more attention to this FBD risk associated with poultry feed.\nSeventy percent of animal feed produced in Ghana is poultry feed which is either manufactured by commercial feed millers or on-farm self-millers [8]. Even though different sources of feed present different levels of risk of microbial contamination, generally contamination occurs along the feed production value chain and it is almost impossible to produce sterile feed. Good manufacturing practices, postproduction decontamination, and suitable facilities for storage are therefore required to improve the safety and shelf-life of feed.\nConventional methods applied by feedmills in eliminating bacteria contaminants in feed are limited particularly in the control of spore formers [9]; hence antimicrobial drugs are used to improve feed safety and shelf-life but this selects for antimicrobial resistant bacteria which then serve an additional risk to humans through the food chain [10]. An alternative to conventional methods is irradiation of feed using gamma rays from a Cobalt-60 source. Predetermined doses of radiation can be used as an alternative for food and food products decontamination that will improve safety, quality, and shelf-life [11]. Irradiation totally eliminates salmonellae, enterobacteria, molds, and insects form feed [11] and improves the utilization and digestibility of proteins and carbohydrates by breaking them down into easily digestible forms [12, 13].\nUnfortunately, there is no comprehensive program in most developing countries in general and Ghana in particular that addresses animal feed contamination in food safety programs and radiation processing of poultry feed has not been explored in Ghana to avail to the poultry industry and the public health sector the immense benefits thereof. The objective of the current study was mainly to investigate the effect of gamma radiation on the microbial quality of compounded poultry feed.\n2.1. Sampling and Sample Preparation\nAntibiotic-free compounded feed (made of corn, wheat bran and soy bean) was collected from the Biotechnology and Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute (BNARI) poultry unit aseptically into sterile zip polyethylene bags and sent to the laboratory for analysis. In the laboratory, subsamples were aseptically weighed from the main sample into smaller polyethylene bags (100g in each bag) in duplicate, labeled according to the radiation doses (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 kGy), and sealed for irradiation.\n2.2. Irradiation\nThe radiation doses 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 kGy from a Cobalt-60 source (SLL-02, Hungary) were applied to samples at the Radiation Technology Centre of Ghana Atomic Energy Commission. The absorbed dose was confirmed by dosimetry.\n2.3.1. Determination of Microbial Load and Identification of Isolates\nInternational Organization for Standardization (ISO) methods were modified and adopted for the enumeration of total viable count (TVC), coliform count (CC), and yeast and molds count (YMC). For (TVC) the temperature for incubation of ISO 4833:2003 was modified from 30\u00b0C to 35\u00b0C and plate count agar (PCA) was used. ISO 21528-2:2004 was modified and applied for the enumeration of general coliforms. The incubation temperature was also modified to 35\u00b0C and Eosin Methylene Blue (EMB) agar was used. Oxytetracycline Glucose Yeast Extract (OGYE) agar was used for the enumeration of yeast and molds at an incubation temperature of 28\u00b0C (a modification of ISO 21527-1). Baird Parker agar (Oxoid, UK) was used for the Staphylococcus aureus count at 35\u00b0C incubation and representative colonies were confirmed after 24hrs by the coagulase test using the staphylase kit (Oxoid, UK).\nMedia were all prepared and sterilized according to manufacturer\u2019s instructions, kept molten at 45\u00b0C in a water bath and poured aseptically over serially diluted dispensed samples in sterile petri dishes (20ml per dish). Each dilution was plated in duplicate. Petri dishes were gently swirled to mix and media were allowed to set after which they were incubated with lid of petri dish downwards to prevent backflow of moisture into the culture. Colonies were counted after 48 hours with a colony counter and the CFU/g calculated. Specific pathogens were also identified following laboratory methods of plating and isolation. API 20E kits (bioM\u00e9rieux, France) was used to identify Gram negative bacteria while conventional biochemical methods described by [14] were used to identify Gram positive bacteria.\n2.3.2. Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing\nProcedures were first described by [15] and adopted by CLSI [16] (2 were followed in determining antibiotic sensitivity). Twenty-four-hour pure cultures of identified isolates were made on nutrient agar to produce enough growth. Inoculum of isolated strains was then prepared by inoculating aseptically a universal bottle containing 9ml of 0.1% sterile peptone water using a wire loop. The concentration of inoculum was standardized by adjusting its turbidity to 0.5 McFarland standards. Inoculum was applied onto the surface of prepared and dispensed (into petri dishes). Mueller-Hinton sensitivity agar used a calibrated wire loop. A sterile cotton swab was then used to spread the culture on the surface of the media. The inoculated plate was allowed to dry for some few minutes after which commercially procured sensitivity disks (Oxoid, UK) were applied to it using a sterile forceps. Zones of inhibition around sensitivity disks were measured to the nearest millimeter using a pair of calipers after 18-24hr of incubation at 37\u00b0C and results recorded. The interpretive criteria (zone diameter values) of CLSI [16] were used to indicate susceptible, intermediate, and resistant breakpoints.\nThe following antibiotics were used: Beta lactams-Penicillin\u2019s (penicillin 10\u03bcg, Ampicillin 10\u03bcg, and Flucloxacillin 5\u03bcg) and Cephalosporins (Cefuroxime 30\u03bcg, Cefotaxime 30\u03bcg, and Ceftriaxone 30\u03bcg), Tetracyclines (Tetracycline 10\u03bcg), Macrolides (Erythromycin 15\u03bcg), Aminoglycosides (Gentamicin 10 \u03bcg), Sulfonamides (Cotrimoxazole 25 \u03bcg/disk), and Chloramphenicol 30 \u03bcg/disk.\nMicrobial counts in colony forming units (cfu/g) were determined following standard formulae and converted to logarithms (log10).\nThe mean counts of total viable cells, coliforms, Staphylococcus, and yeast and molds of compound feed were, respectively, 5.98, 4.76, 2.89, and 4.57 log10cfu/g. Salmonella spp. were not detected. Details of the effect of radiation doses applied on these microbial populations are summarized in Table 1.\nTable 1: Microbiological counts (log10 cfu/g) of compounded feed before and after gamma irradiation.\nThe results (Table 1) show that all viable cells counted were all within permissible levels of contamination except for coliform count (log104.76) which was higher than the permissible level of \u2264 log10 4.0. 5KGy of gamma radiation totally eliminated all viable cells of all kinds and making contamination levels acceptable (Table 1).\nResults of bacterial identification yielded 11 bacterial isolates which were identified into 3 genera: Bacillus, Enterobacter, and Klebsiella. Details of bacteria genera occurrence in nonirradiated feed samples are presented in Table 2.\nTable 2: Occurrence of bacteria isolates identified in feed samples.\nEnterobacter cloacae was the most common bacteria species identified (54.5%) followed by Bacillus cereus (27. 3%) and then Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.2%) (Table 2).\nResults (Figure 1) reveal that all isolates were MDR, with B. cereus being the most resistant (resistant to 9 out of 11) followed by Enterobacter cloacae/Klebsiella pneumoniae (resistant to 4 out of 11 antibiotics). The most effective antibiotic against Gram negative bacteria (Enterobacter clocae and Klebsiella pneumoniae) was gentamicin while cotrimoxazole was the most effective against Bacillus cereus (Gram positive) (Figure 1).\nFigure 1: Resistance of identified isolates to antimicrobial agents. PEN= Penicillin, AMP= Ampicillin, FLX= Flucloxacillin, ERY= Erythromycin, TET=Tetracycline, COT= Cotrimoxazole, GEN=Gentamicin, CHL=Chloramphenicol,, CTR= Ceftriaxone, CTX= Cefotaxime, and CRX= Cefuroxime.\nAntibiotic resistance patterns of identified bacteria isolates from antibiotic-free compounded feed are presented in Table 3\nTable 3: Antibiotic resistance patterns of 11 bacterial isolates from feed samples.\nThe results (Table 3) show that eight resistance patterns were exhibited with PEN/AMP/FLX being the commonest (100%), followed by ERY (90.9%), TET (72.7%), CRX (66.6%), CTX (45.4%), CHL/CTR (36.4%), GEN (27.3%), and COT (18.2%). Klebsiella pneumoniae showed zero resistance to GEN/CHL/CTR/CTX/CRX while Enterobacter cloacae and Bacillus cereus exhibited zero resistance to GEN and COT, respectively (Figure 1).\nThe current study found all feed samples to be contaminated with viable microbes but counts were within permissible levels except for coliform count which was above the permissible level of \u2264 log10 4.0 (Table 1). No Salmonella was however detected by the methods used (Table 1). This finding agrees with the general view that poultry feed is prone to microbial contamination along the value chain, from the environment, during transport, and storage on the farm and cross contamination from wild birds, insects, rodents, etc. [18, 19].\nBoth total viable count and yeast and mold counts are indicators of quality of a food product and have more to do with determining the shelf-life of a product [20] A total viable count of >107CFU/g) is said to hasten spoilage or deterioration of the product [21]. Permissible levels of total viable counts and yeast and mold count observed in this study (Table 1) suggest that good manufacturing practices, handling conditions, and storage conditions may have been observed. Staphylococcus aureus is also an indicator of the hygiene of a product as this organism is part of the microflora of both chickens and human [22]. Ingestion of the thermostable enterotoxins, rather than the bacterium itself, is responsible for foodborne illness [23]. Acceptable levels of Staphylococcus aureus count observed in this study may have also been due to low rate of cross contamination from human handlers of feed and from the farm environment.\nColiform count (Log10 4.76) was observed to be above the permissible limit of \u2264 log10 4.0 (Table 1) and this was confirmed by a high occurrence of identified coliforms nterobacter cloacae (54.5%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.25% among isolates (Table 2). This finding suggested a poor hygiene status of the feed as a result of possible fecal contamination. Coliform organisms naturally reside in the gut of animals and man and are found on food substances only as a result of fecal contamination due to poor hygiene. Fecal coliform test is therefore a good indicator for the evaluation of hygiene whiles the general coliform test includes coliforms like Klebsiella spp. and Enterobacter spp. which are also environmental microbes [24]. Cross contamination from hands of farm workers during mixing of feed, from rodents and reptiles on the farm, from droppings of live birds, or from dust or the environment, may have accounted for the unacceptable coliform count recorded in this study. According to [25] the initial microbial load of feed, the sanitization process applied, climatic conditions during storage, and postsanitization handling play a major role in the safety and quality of the final product\nIdentified isolates (Table 2) confirms the foodborne pathogen risk associated with feed as all identified organisms are capable of causing human disease. Enterobacter cloacae is hospital-acquired and it contributes to the following ailments: bacteremia, endocarditis, septic arthritis, osteomyelitis, skin/soft tissue infections, and lower respiratory tract infections [26] while Klebsiella pneumoniae causes infections such as urinary tract infection, pneumonia, intra-abdominal infection, bloodstream infection, meningitis, and pyogenic liver abscess [27]. Bacillus cereus is a soil bacterium that easily contaminates several food substances such as eggs, meat, dairy, and plant products and is known for causing 25 % of food-borne intoxications due to its secretion of emetic toxins, enterotoxins, and resistance of its spores to heat treatment [28].\nResults of antibiotic sensitivity test (Figure 1) demonstrated that all identified isolates were MDR and Bacillus cereus was the most resistant isolate (resistant to 9 out of 11 antibiotics) followed by Enterobacter cloacae/Klebsiella pneumoniae which were resistant to 4 out of 11 antibiotics. In a similar study, Donkor et al. [29] found 97.7% MDR in E. coli isolates from animals in the Accra metropolis. Multidrug resistance occurs in bacteria due to the aggregation of resistance genes from other bacteria with each gene coding for a different antibiotic [5, 30]. Evidence suggests that, among \u201cwild type\u201d bacterial communities, resistance to any type of antibiotic is lower than in clinical isolates or isolates from a source that has been exposed to the use of antibiotics. misuse and overuse of antibiotics due to lack of regulation and proper policies in most developing countries including Ghana especially in agriculture sector could have accounted for this high level of MDR observed in this study (Figure 1).\nBeta lactamase producers such as B. cereus are intrinsically resistant to \u03b2-lactam antibiotics [31]; this may have accounted for the high rate of resistance observed to wide-ranging cephalosporins among B. cereus isolates in this study (Figure 1). Additionally, the secretion of \u03b2-lactamase by individual bacteria in a polymicrobial environment also provides passive resistance for all residents within the environment [32] and this may have accounted for high level of MDR among isolates.\nThe overuse or unregulated use of antibiotics in agriculture is a problem of global concern which is liked to food-borne antibiotics resistance in humans. For example, of all antibiotics sold in the United States, about 80% are applied in animal agriculture out of which, unfortunately, approximately 70% of these are important to human medicine [33]. Antibiotics are used specifically in animal farming to treat diseases and also as growth promoters to enhance growth. Options for treatment of patients with MDR infections are often extremely limited leading to possible treatment failure with enhanced morbidity and mortality and high medical costs [34]. High level of MDR observed in this study is therefore worrying.\nAntibiotic susceptibility patterns (Table 3) revealed that common antibiotics used in the treatment of human diseases are generally losing their efficacy on bacteria isolates which is very worrying. For example, Penicillin/Ampicillin/Flucloxacillin (all beta-lactams) which is the most widely used class of antibiotics in humans [31] was not effective against any of the isolates (Table 3). Even though Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae are intrinsically resistant to some beta lactams [16], the level of MDR observed in this study is worrisome.\nWHO [35] recommends that antibiotics critically important for humans (Aminoglycosides, and generation Cephalosporins, and Macrolides) and those highly important for humans (Cephalosporins, Penicillins, and sulfanomides) should not be used for prevention of animal diseases or as growth promoters so that these banned drugs will remain effective in treating human bacterial diseases. Only Tetracyclines are allowed for use in poultry for prevention of disease and as growth promoters because they are not classified as important for humans [35]. Unfortunately, this study observed multiresistance by most isolates to a lot of these drugs that are prohibited for use (Table 3) in agreement with [36] in earlier work in Ghana and [19] in Nigeria. This finding suggests that recommendations by WHO [35] are not being complied with. Nondiscriminatory use of antibiotics in humans and animals results in the reduction of the effect of such antibiotics when bacteria are passed on to humans from animals. This could lead to treatment failure with possible repercussions to public health. Patterns of antibiotic resistances shown in human isolates in Accra by MOH/MOFA/MESTI/MFAD [36] are very similar to patterns observed in this study (Table 3). This may be a confirmation of the indiscriminate and unregulated use of antibiotics for both human and agriculture purposes.\nRadiation processing at 5kGy, however, totally eliminated all microbes in samples making their microbial quality acceptable (Table 1) indicating radiation is very efficient even at lower doses in decontaminating poultry feed in agreement with [37]. Generally, gamma irradiation has been found to be capable of reducing the microbial load of dehydrated ingredients, spices, and dried herbal products effectively without negative attributes such as loss of heat-sensitive active ingredients and discoloration associated with conventional technologies such as the use of chemical preservatives, heat, and fumigants [11].\nIn conclusion, the current study found feed from the BNARI poultry unit to be contaminated with coliform counts above permissible limits and MDR food-borne pathogens suggesting a poor sanitary status and a public health risk. Low dose of radiation (5KGy) was however found to be effective in decontaminating poultry feed and eliminating possible associated food safety risks.\nWe recommend based on our conclusions that poultry feeds should be irradiated at 5 kGy after mixing and that further research should be conducted to ascertain appropriate packaging and storage after radiation. With respect to antibiotic resistance, we recommend a nationwide surveillance that should monitor the use of antibiotics in veterinary practice alongside education of farmers and veterinarians to curb misuse and overuse of antibiotics that will ultimately reduce resistant bacteria and antibiotic residue through the food chain.\nThe microbial counts (cfu/g), antibiotic resistance, and radiation dose (KGy) data used to support the findings of this study are included within the article.\nJ.

        "raw_content": "Charity insurance requirements and responsibilities\nCharities are a special kind of organisation. With the increase in privatisation and rising living costs across the UK, the work of non-profits has rarely been more important at home. And for those providing aid abroad, their humanitarian goals must be admired.\nIf only out of respect for intentions, it\u2019s hard to imagine why anyone would do something that might financially damage a charity. However, claims are regularly raised against charitable organisations, both by those they are trying to help, and by members of the public.\nWhat liability does a charity have?\nThe responsibilities which need to be covered by charity liability insurance are largely the same for non-profits as they are for commercial businesses. When it comes to the law, both kinds of group have exactly the same duty of care to their employees, community and the public.\nWhen considering how to protect your organisation, be aware that not-for-profit insurance could cover public liability, employers\u2019 liability, and \u2013 depending on how you fundraise \u2013 charity event insurance.\nDo I need public liability insurance for an event?\nPublic liability (PL) insurance for a charity event isn\u2019t a legal requirement, but considering the substantial risks associated with holding a fundraising activity with members of the public, it could be seen as beneficial.\nThis is particularly important for smaller charities, who may not regularly hold large events. Insurance for small charities and non-profit groups will cover the day-to-day activities and demands of your organisation but might not offer the level of cover you need for an occasion which involves large numbers of people and (potentially) rented space and equipment.\nSay, for example, you held a fundraising auction and a guest tripped over items you had left in an unsuitable place. If that individual hurt themselves, their injury would be your responsibility and you would be liable if they decided to make a claim. Equally, if you damaged a rented space while installing furniture for an event, the owner of that space could rightfully seek compensation. Depending on your insurer, your small charity insurance might not provide enough cover for such a situation.\nIf you\u2019re holding a charity-do, specialist charity event insurance will cover you for the unique circumstances of your event.\nSpecialist charity event insurance might include:\nCancellation and disruption insurance\nLiability for damage to venues\nIndemnity to venue owners or operators\nWhat kinds of insurance do charities need?\nThe insurance package which a charity needs depends on the type and scope of its operations. But although the level of cover may vary, there are a few types of insurance that could always be included:\nEmployers\u2019 liability \u2013 Liability insurance for voluntary groups does not cover your volunteers; employers\u2019 liability is a legal requirement to protect those employed by you, even in a voluntary capacity.\nTrustees\u2019 insurance \u2013 Trustees\u2019 insurance will help to make sure that your leadership team aren\u2019t held personally liable for mistakes and accidents that happen within your charity.\nPublic liability insurance \u2013 Public liability insurance for non-profit organisations is a crucial way to protect the good work you do from being disrupted by unnecessary financial damage.\nCharities hold an important place in society, and the work they do enriches the lives of many \u2013 so making sure they are able to continue making a difference is essential. Public Liability insurance is just one way of protecting them from harm. It not only covers the charity against claims, it ensures that anyone who suffers an injury or damage to their property as a result of the charity\u2019s activities has access to compensation.\nCharity public liability insurance is suitable for charities of all sizes and can protect it against commercial loss.

The restoration of the church as a theatre and community centre by Great Yarmouth Borough Council is a key project in revitalising this attractive, although marginalised, part of the old town.\nImproving the setting of the Chapel and lessening the dominance of traffic has been achieved through a radical reorganisation of vehicular movement, restoring the connection between the Chapel and the urban fabric around it.\nThe Grade l-listed Chapel has been restored, repaired and redeveloped to provide a flexible new performing arts centre and community space. Adjacent to it, a new pavilion building accommodates the front-of-house activities and service functions that could not be accommodated within the church. Between them, St George's Plain serves as an external foyer and performance space.\nFunding for the scheme is from a number of sources including CABE's Sea Change programme, the Heritage Lottery Fund and RDA. English Heritage has contributed towards the repair of the Chapel fabric.\nThe Wood Awards: Highly Commended\nThe Georgian Group Architectural Awards: Best Reuse of a Georgian Building",

        "title": "Investing In Your Workforce: Continuing Professional Development",
        "raw_content": "In recent years, the Learning & Development industry has seen a shift in workplace learning. No longer is the focus on compliance training and tick-box exercises. Instead, training aims to offer learning opportunities that will help employees achieve professional development within their chosen career path.\nAt HT2 Labs, we have always strived to achieve great results for our customers. To put the fun back into online learning and, to encourage your learns to want to participate in learning, rather than it being a forced, unwanted requirement of their job role.\nThis is where Continuing Professional Development [CPD] and, our Curatr Learning Experience Platform, launching in September, comes in.\nWhat is Continuing Professional Development?\nIt is becoming recognised that, for an organisation to truly see the benefit of workplace learning, it should fixate upon enhancing the performance of the employee, rather than increasing their knowledge of subject matter regarding their chosen role.\nFirmly rooted in the outcome of results and the applications of skills, CPD is a combination of approaches, ideas and techniques that provide learners with the ability to manage their own learning journeys and professional growth.\nCPD sees learners combining a variety of methods, including self-directed learning, goal-based learning and problem-based learning, taking a real hands-on approach to their learning experience.\nFor too long, workplace learning has consisted as mandatory, compliance training. The type of training we all know we have to do, but no one is ever truly excited by the prospect. I am sure almost every one of you has taken part in some form of learning that consisted of a never-ending list of content to be memorised and then recited in an end-of-course test at some point throughout your careers.\nUnfortunately, this does very little for user engagement and user retention.\nIt has to be said, it is unrealistic to expect your employees to trawl through a tiresome list of content, requiring nothing more from them than their ability to read, and then expect them to apply what they have \u2018learned\u2019 to their day-to-day work-related tasks.\nThere is a light at the tunnel, however. CPD sees us moving away from these traditional methods, establishing a more interactive and, performance-enhancing approach to learning.\nCPD enables learners to realise the value of their learning experience, considering the rewards that can be achieved in terms of their own professional development, as well as the impact this improve-skills set will have on their organisation.\nWhat are the Key Features of CPD?\nSelf-Directed \u2013 the learners journey, goals and chosen activities should be controlled by them.\nSetting Goals \u2013 development should be achieved through setting goals, attained through appropriate and beneficial learning activities.\nFormal and Informal \u2013 learning should occur through formal activities, provided to learners by Instructional Designers, as well as informal social interaction with fellow learners and, personalised recommendations.\nA Tracked Process \u2013 one can only reflect on their journey if they can accurately observe their progress from \u201cbasic\u201d knowledge to \u201cmore advanced\u201d practice.\nHow Does Training Differ From Development?\nFor the CPD approach to thrive, learners and organisations must be able to differentiate between training and development.\nTraining is a formal and linear process, typically involving the learning of how to do something specific, relating to skill and ability. Training can be as straightforward as practicing health and safety checks or, as complex as learning how to build an engine.\nDevelopment, on the other hand, is informal and involves a wider application, enabling you to achieve a range of things relating to capability and competency. It notes progression from the very basic to the more advanced and, usually includes widening the learners range of transferable skills, including leadership, organisation and problem-solving.\nLike we mentioned, compliance training is become outdated and, for you to truly to understand how learning is impacting your organisational growth, the development of your employees in their professional capacity is something to really start investing in.\nTracking the journeys of all your individual learners provides evidence of their professional development for their next performance review.\nLearning becomes more relevant to the individual learner by focusing on their own career goals, creating a more achievable and time-effective pathway to getting there.\nUncovers gaps in the skills and capabilities of your workforce, allowing you to create more learning opportunities to help advance these specific skills.\nAllows for real-world problems, scenarios and learning activities which exist as practice for similar cases in their own job role.\nIf you\u2019d like to learn more about some of the methods associated with Continuing Professional Development read up on Self-Directed Learning and Setting Goals via our blog. If you think compliance training is still a necessary part of your training, join our Compliance Training: A More Social Approach MOOC to learn how to make it a more engaging experience.",

        "title": "SHAMELESS: A Q&A with Author Kris Kidd | HuffPost",
        "raw_content": "Caitlyn Luce Christensen, Contributor\nsensitive crybaby\nSHAMELESS: A Q&A with Author Kris Kidd\nFor the better half of the last decade, model and writer Kris Kidd, has been fearlessly documenting his struggles with substance abuse, eating disorders, and depression. His shameless style of confessional writing evokes a bruise, so painfully funny and self-deprecatingly sincere that it feels as though we aren\u2019t even supposed to be reading it. His latest collection of work, #ELSEWHERE, a \u201cclinically depressed sex column\u201d written for Nakid Magazine, explores themes of escapism and self-harm with his trademark sense of vulnerability and dark humor.\nAs comes with the territory of tearing oneself open on the Internet, Kidd\u2019s work has exposed him to a great deal of criticism as well as an outpouring of love and appreciation from like-minded young readers. In this interview, we discuss his new column, his writing process, and what it really takes to be honest with the Internet.\nWhat was your writing process when working on #ELSEWHERE? Is there anything in particular that you did to get yourself to such an open and vulnerable place?\nI\u2019m not going to lie. It was hellacious. Like, really bad. I had the entire column outlined before I even started writing it, but I guess I hadn\u2019t really thought the process through. All I knew was that I wanted to write about the emotional and psychological forces that drive a person to self-destruct. I\u2019ve been writing about self-destruction for years, but I wanted to focus on the actual mentality behind it. It sounds so stupid now, but it didn\u2019t occur to me that in order to do that, I\u2019d have to go back and relive those feelings so vividly.\nI locked myself away for a week to start writing, then that week turned into a month, then two. It took another month to edit because I was so caught up in my own head by then. I didn\u2019t really see or talk to anyone other than my therapist. I got really caught up in it. I cried a lot, over anything and everything. It was very overdramatic. I know it\u2019s cheesy, but I feel like the process forced me to confront a lot of trauma I had no idea I was still carrying with me. I\u2019m glad I finished it, though. Finally turning it in was super cathartic.\nThroughout the entries, you mention friends, lovers, and various members of the fashion industry\u2014 sometimes even by name. Were you ever concerned that you were writing too openly about others? How do you think those who have read the column feel about it?\nNo. Is that bad? I don\u2019t know. I rarely, if ever, use names in my writing. If I do, I either change the names or I get permission from the person directly. I think I\u2019m pretty considerate about it. A lot of the stories I wanted to tell centered around my interpersonal relationships and how I\u2019ve navigated, or failed to navigate, them. Writing about others was unavoidable and I\u2019m always open with my writing. Everybody in my life knows that I\u2019m a writer. They signed up for it. Maybe I should start drafting up contracts, though. Just in case\u2026\nHow do you respond to the negative criticism you receive for your writing? You\u2019re sharing very personal life stories, after all\u2014 do you ever take it personally?\nOf course I do. I take everything personally. Listen, I\u2019d love to be one of those saints who claims to be \u201cabove\u201d drama, and negativity, and all that\u2026 but I\u2019m just not. At all. That being said, I\u2019ve learned to ignore it to a certain degree. It\u2019s not like there\u2019s actual critics out there telling me that I\u2019m a terrible writer. It\u2019s usually comments and direct messages from strangers who\u2019ve read my stuff and think I\u2019m a terrible person. It\u2019s really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.\nEven when dealing with very dark subject matter, the tone of your writing is often comedic\u2014 almost satirical at times. What function does humor serve in your work?\nI try to laugh about everything. Not just with my writing, but with life in general. It\u2019s kind of an addendum that I\u2019ve made to that serenity prayer from Narcotics Anonymous. \u201cGod, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to laugh my way through the rest of it\u2026\u201d Probably just another coping mechanism of mine, but it works like a charm. I swear by it.\nYou say that you've pretty much always been writing\u2014 do you ever revisit your past work? What kind of perspective does it provide you with?\nI\u2019m hypercritical of everything I do once I\u2019m done with it, so I tend to steer myself away from reading almost any of my older stuff. I did go back and read old blog posts and drafts from when I was younger while writing the first few entries in the column, though. The first two are actually just more fleshed out versions of essays I\u2019d started writing and given up on a long time ago. Rereading them threw me back into the mindset I was in at that age, which was helpful.\nWhat do you think is the most difficult thing about confessional writing?\nI\u2019m not too sure anymore. There are a lot of pros and cons to it, and they\u2019re all pretty dichotomous. The hardest part is probably the writing itself, actually sitting down and getting yourself to relive those moments and retell them. But when it\u2019s all said and done, you feel a lot lighter. Like a weight\u2019s been lifted, or whatever. It\u2019s very therapeutic.\nLooking back on #ELSEWHERE, is there anything you feel you\u2019ve left out or held yourself back from sharing? If not, surely there must have been times in which you hesitated. What do you think it is that allowed you to keep charging ahead?\nI really tried to be as honest as I possibly could. I think that\u2019s what made it such an intense process to get through. As human beings, we want to defend ourselves and rationalize our actions. Even though the intent of the column was to shed light on the mentality behind bad behavior, I never wanted to make excuses for it. That was a tough balance to negotiate. I was constantly catching myself adding in unnecessary details to make myself seem more redeemable, which wasn\u2019t what I set out to do. I wanted to explain my thought processes, the actions they led to, and the aftermath of those actions. I think I stayed true to that. If I held anything back, it was an invitation to a pity party I had no intention of throwing in the first place.\nThe column ended on quite an abrupt note. None of the issues you addressed seemed to be resolved, and it felt as though there wasn't any wrap up. Was this a deliberate choice? And if so, what was the reasoning behind it?\nOriginally, that entry ended with the line, \u201cRegret, albeit raw and relentless, is almost always unremarkable.\u201d It felt like the thesis of the column as a whole. The additional line you\u2019re referring to was a pretty last minute decision, actually. And I knew that it was going to upset some of the people who\u2019d been reading the column from the beginning, but I stand by it. Self-sabotage is a really powerful thing, and I don\u2019t necessarily think it makes you a bad person. You know that what you\u2019re doing is wrong, even while you\u2019re doing it, and you just keep going.\nHow much time has passed since the events that took place in that last entry and now? Has anything changed for you in that time period?\nThat one is probably the most fractured and disjointed of all the entries, but it is the most recent. The phone call that takes place at the beginning happened around October or November of last year if I remember correctly. The rest of the vignettes are events that all took place between then and February, when I was already writing the column. Since then, I\u2019ve been taking everything I learned from writing it, all the triggers and the patterns I saw in my behavior, and trying to sort through that stuff in therapy. The column really pushed me to want to make some changes for the better.\nWhere does one go after having been elsewhere? What\u2019s your next move?\nWell, all that being said, there\u2019s probably still tons of therapy ahead for me. In regards to writing, I\u2019ve decided I want to try and make the transition into fiction. I think it\u2019s the best decision for me, both creatively and mentally. Nobody can stay \u201celsewhere\u201d forever. I\u2019m currently enrolled at UCLA, and I\u2019m taking their creative writing extension program. I\u2019m workshopping my first novel, I guess. It\u2019s a whole different world, maybe just somewhere else, another sort of elsewhere, but I\u2019m excited about it.",

Saina complained of an extremely poor surface when she took the court after Sameer Verma conceded his men's singles match owing to a heel problem during his match.\nOfficials swung into action immediately after\nFile picture of Saina NehwalScreengrab\nAfter the objection raised by Saina, Badminton Association of India Secretary (event) Omar Rashid tried to tackle the issue and even convinced Saina, Parupalli Kashyap and Sai Praneeth to play in the evening.\nSaina was slated to take on Shruti Mundada in the pre-quarters but made it clear that she has nothing to do with the court as she did not want to risk an injury with the All England Championship around the corner.\nLater, Rashid informed that the association would fix the courts and make all the required arrangements in the cement courts at the Tarun Ram Phookan Indoor Stadium.\n\"The surface became uneven at a couple of places, so three players have refused to play. We will fix the problem here and also make arrangements in the indoor stadium,\" he said.\nHe also informed that the decision to take part in the game rests on the players and that they have already agreed to complete their matches in the evening.\n\"It is upto them where they want to play. They have agreed to play the pre-quarterfinals in the evening. The rest of the players will play both their pre-quarters and quarters today itself,\" Rashid added.",

        "raw_content": "2017 | Digitalization and the environment\nIDDRI sets the political agenda with the convergence of the two transitions\nThe ecological transition, a necessary goal to be accomplished, is proving difficult to achieve. Digitalization, on the other hand, is one of the great transformative forces of our society, but doesn\u2019t have a collectively defined goal. How then, can this potential for transformation be used to drive the ecological transition today? What courses of action can be put forth to public stakeholders with the view to leveraging digitalization for the ecological transition?\nAs early as 2015, IDDRI noted that this major issue was still nowhere on the polit- ical agenda. The two communities, which represent two approaches to the future and two visions for public policy, did not interact with each other at all.\nDamien Demailly (IDDRI) and IDDRI\u2019s partners presenting the \u201cDigital Technology and Environment\u201d White Paper to Brune Poirson, Secretary of State to the French Minister for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition, and Mounir Mahjoubi, Secretary of State to the French Prime Minister in charge of Digital Affairs, March 2018.\nIDDRI therefore took the lead in exploring the points and conditions of convergence between these two transitions. Research on several activities and services emerg- ing in the new digital economy was conducted: the collaborative economy, crowdfunding, new mobility services, the smart city etc. Through these projects and in association with FING (The Next Generation Internet Foundation), IDDRI\nbrought together about thirty partners\u2013 academic institutions (ex: ESCP, Paris Dauphine University), digital players (ex: OuiShare, Uber), private companies (ex: MAIF, Vinci), local authorities (ex: I\u0302le- de-France Region, City of Paris), public actors (ex: ADEME, PUCA)\u2013which laid the groundwork for an ecosystem that could advance the convergence of both transitions.\nPromises and realities of digital technologies in developing cities\nUses of crowdfunding by local authorities in France\nA more sustainable and contributive city\nUltimately, this research helped identify general lines of action, enabling us to put forth recommendations to public authorities. To this end, IDDRI worked in partnership with FING, WWF, GreenIT.fr and the French Digital Council to over- see a joint publication. This resulted in a White Paper on \u201cDigital Technology and the Environment\u201d, synthesizing a set of analyses and 26 concrete proposals for public authorities.\nWhite Paper on the Digital Economy and the Environment\nIn March 2018, this White Paper was presented to Brune Poirson, French Secretary of State to the Minister for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition, and Mounir Mahjoubi, French Secretary of State to the Prime Minister in charge of Digital Affairs.\nThe Secretaries of State welcomed the initiative, which will help them strengthen their internal work already begun on the two issues. On this occasion, they also committed to including some of our document\u2019s proposals (circular economy roadmap, implementation decrees of the French Digital Republic Law, France\u2019s working programme for digitalization) in the upcoming policy decisions of their respective ministries.\nThis work heralds the opening of a pathway towards the convergence of the digital and ecological transitions in the policy agenda. The presentation of this White Paper is only the beginning of a series of initiatives planned in 2018 aimed at keeping up the momentum.",

        "raw_content": "Although prom season is supposed to be a really exciting time in any teen girl\u2019s life, while looking for the perfect dress, if they only go by the gowns that they see in magazines and don\u2019t know how to shop according to their body type, it can sometimes be a really frustrating experience. It doesn\u2019t have to be that way, though. Finding the right prom dress is simply a matter of knowing how your body is built and looking for the kind of gown that will accentuate your absolute best features.\nIf you\u2019re gearing up to do some prom dress shopping and you want to find one that is perfect for you, we have some tips below:\nFind Out What Your Body Type Is\nBefore you do anything, it\u2019s best that you find out just what your body type is. Thanks to the internet, there are all kinds of websites that will provide you with tests that you can take to figure out if you are an apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle or any of the other cool names that designers have come up with to describe a woman\u2019s body build. Two websites that can assist you are Body Shape Fashion Advice and Shop Your Shape.\nGet the Right Foundation\nOnce you know what your body type is, there\u2019s a store that you should go by before looking for the perfect gown and that is a lingerie shop so that you can get fitted for the right size bra. The reason why we make this suggestion is sometimes a dress doesn\u2019t look right, not because of your body type, but the foundation that is underneath it. Also, it\u2019s best to get fitted for a strapless bra. That way, you can comfortably and confidently try on all kinds of dresses.\nKnow What Works for Each Body Type\nWith the right information and the perfect bra, you\u2019re now ready to look for some gowns for prom. Although there are many websites that can give you step-by-step information on what works best for each body type, we wanted to provide you with a few tips.\nIf you are an \u201capple\u201d, you tend to have larger breasts and slimmer hips (think Sherri Shepherd from The View). A dress with a V-neck, empire neck line or a belt around the waist will complement your figure. If you are a \u201cpear\u201d, then you usually have a smaller bust and round hips with a full posterior (think Beyonce\u2019). What fits nicely on you is a strapless gown because it accentuates your shoulders while not drawing as much attention to the lower half of your body (if you\u2019re not comfortable with showing that off). An \u201chourglass\u201d is someone who has a proportioned body because their upper half and lower half are somewhat \u201cin balance\u201d and their waistline is small (think Salma Hayek). Wrap dresses and fitted dresses are beautiful on this kind of shape. A \u201crectangle\u201d shape is a woman who is slim and somewhat petite from head-to-toe (think Cameron Diaz). Dresses with a lot of detailing (like ruching, ruffles and beading), especially in the chest area, can help to create the illusion of curves. Plus, having a slender waste and hips allows for dresses that are made with a clingy material to accentuate your shape rather than magnify any flaws.\nApplying these tips, along with selecting a color that complements your skin tone and shoes that make your legs look long and sleek will have you in the perfect prom dress, regardless of your body type; a dress that will have you as the \u201cbelle of the ball\u201d the entire night.",

        "raw_content": ">PTB \u2013 German National>\nCASE: PTB - German National Metrology Institute\nAt the German national metrology institute PTB, SPIP\u2122 is widely used as the main routine tool for the analysis of surface topography measurements on the micro- and nanoscale. While in the beginning, the software package was solely applied for AFM and STM images, it is increasingly appreciated also for the quantitative analysis of images recorded with various other surface measuring techniques and thus increasingly used more broadly in a number of working groups with different focus.\nLudger Koenders, head of department \u2018Surface Metrology\u2019: \u201dAt PTB I have been using SPIP\u2122 from the very early days of the software more than 20 years ago, for measuring precisely critical dimensions from AFM images, such as step height and lattice constant of gratings. As SPIP\u2122 users we have significantly influenced the evolution of SPIP\u2122 over the years.\u201d For more than two decades now, the direct contact to the software developers has greatly helped to take the emerging demands of PTB as one of the world\u2019s largest metrology institutes into account, so that new functions and options could be implemented promptly. The software package has thus matured into a generally versatile and particularly reliable tool for image analysis.\nThorsten Dziomba, scientist in the department \u2018Dimensional Nanometrology\u2019: \u201cRight from the beginning of my work in the field of AFM calibration services, I\u2019ve been using the core metrology functions such as step height and grating analysis, and appreciate that Image Metrology has always been taking our concerns seriously, e. g. when it comes to the treatment of data derived from non-perfect, irregular or contaminated samples. Analysis routines have been adjusted in a way that bad data can be identified more easily and consequently excluded, which is important for efficient routine services. SPIP\u2122 is always the main tool to analyze the broad range of nanoscale research measurements we do, whether it is measurements at quantum devices, novel materials, nanoparticles or novel roughness standards, not only with AFM, but also other techniques. There is hardly any software package that has so many import filters to read the measurement data files of many microscope manufacturers. It is a great advantage that we can read the data of different instruments and analyze the images in the very same way. This ensure good comparability.\u201d The latter has become particularly important with the optical surface measuring techniques emerging, e. g. confocal laser scanning microscopy and interference microscopy. As a metrology institute, it is vitally important to carefully investigate the different imaging and measurement properties of the instruments, for example in view of surface roughness.\nThorsten Dziomba continues: \u201cA great advantage of this software package is that it allows a straight-forward use, with a clear focus on what is important for a metrologist, on what is relevant in dimensional surface metrology, without getting lost in a confusing jungle of unnecessary extra functions hardly anybody needs. The direct access to the developers ensures that mathematical problems can be discussed \u2013 and solved \u2013 in a scientifically profound manner. This is decisive for the use of SPIP\u2122 in critical applications such as official calibrations and international comparisons. Of course, we also keep on maintaining and developing our own software further, partly for comparison, partly because even the best software package could never fulfill all wishes of a metrologist, for that there are too many unique challenges in metrology. Nevertheless, we still have many ideas on how we can develop SPIP\u2122 further together with Image Metrology, and we sincerely hope that we can continue on this successful path!\u201d.",

        "title": "Why You Should Love the New GI Bill",
        "raw_content": "> Military Money > Why You Should Love The New GI Bill\nHave you ever seen pictures of football players from the 1940s? With their leather helmets and inadequate padding, they seem ill-prepared for the game with which we are so familiar. The players themselves seem smaller, less powerful, and less aggressive than players in the new millennium. If I had a big obstacle in my way, I would easily pick a member of the 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers to knock it down before I would turn to a member of the 1944 Cleveland Rams in his prime.\nThe Servicemen\u2019s Readjustment Act of 1944 was the first GI Bill. In August 2009, the latest of iteration of that concept, the Post-9/11 GI Bill, begins paying out benefits. The original Bill was a good benefit to help veterans pursue educational goals, but if it were a football player, it definitely would have worn a leather helmet. The benefit evolved into something more powerful over time, but the new GI Bill is decidedly a muscle-bound, modern day Goliath\u2026on performance enhancing drugs.\nThe military has a tradition of paying incentives to veterans in college. You enroll in college, and depending on a few factors, the government sends you money every month. The amounts can be substantial, but they have nothing to do with the actual cost of your education.\nSimilarly, the military has a tradition of paying for the education of servicemembers. If you are on Active Duty, you have the opportunity to qualify for Tuition Assistance. Each branch has its own version with its own restrictions, but the money is typically paid to your school and applied directly to your bill. The amounts paid are capped\u2014that is, your bill may be more than your benefits cover\u2014but the amount is tied to the cost of your education.\nThe Post-9/11 GI Bill has both components. It provides cash incentives paid directly to you and education benefits paid directly to your college.\nThe bottom line is that this benefit pays a great deal of money for veterans and servicemembers pursuing college degrees.\nThe amount of tuition and fees that the Post-9/11 GI Bill can pay to your school depends on two factors: your percentage of eligibility and the state in which you attend college.\nWe will discuss eligibility below, but let\u2019s discuss the location of the school. The legislature has determined the maximum amounts the Bill will pay based on the state in which the college sits. The chart, available at www.gibill.va.gov/GI_Bill_Info/CH33/Tuition_and_fees.htm, gives the maximum amount of tuition per credit hour and the maximum amount of fees per term.\nFor example, assume that a veteran is 100% eligible for the benefit and enrolled in 12 credits at an approved institution in North Carolina. The maximum per credit amount the Bill allows is $482.50, and the maximum amount in fees is $2,045.50 per term. Therefore, he could receive up to $7,835.50 ($482.50 x 12 + $2,045.50) credited directly to the college bill. He could not, however, receive a refund if the education was less expensive. And if it is more expensive, the veteran would be responsible for that balance.\nThe location of the college is also important for determining the level of money one can receive directly from the government. The Bill pays a Basic Housing Allowance (BAH) at the E-5 with dependents level, regardless of actual rank or rank at discharge. BAH is determined by the location of the school attended.\nIn the example above, if the veteran attends the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he would receive $1,242 per month every month that he qualified for the benefit.\nMoreover, the Post-9/11 GI Bill comes with a rural benefit. This is a one-time payment of $500 for people who live in counties with fewer than seven people per square mile, and who move to attend school more than 500 miles away or who travel by air to attend a college because no land-based method of travel exists. Finally, the Bill provides for a book stipend of up to $1,000 per year. Therefore, in the case of our veteran at UNC, he could enroll in 12 credits per term, three terms per year for three years; and, with the rural benefit and book stipends, he can receive $118,731.50 from the benefit, including $48,212 paid directly to him. By comparison, he would have received $47,556 for the same experience under the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) for Active Duty.\nThe basic qualification is that you must have served at least 90 days on Active Duty after September 10, 2001, and received an Honorable Discharge.\nIf the nature and length of your service does not meet the 100% threshold, the benefits are prorated. If, for instance, our veteran at UNC qualified for only 60% eligibility, he would receive 60% of the maximum tuition, 60% of the maximum fees, 60% of the BAH, and $600 per year for books.\nNot all education, however, qualifies for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Programs must be at a qualified Institution of Higher Learning, or IHL. The general rule is that your program must be leading directly to a degree. Qualified Non-College Degree programs, or NCDs, are authorized for payment under other versions of the GI Bill, but not the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Similarly, correspondence courses, flight training, and on the job training are not authorized under the Bill.\nIn addition, you may find that you do not qualify for every part of the new GI Bill. If you are still on Active Duty, enrolled less than half-time in college, or attending a program offered entirely online, you do not qualify for the BAH allowance. Active Duty personnel also do not qualify for the annual book stipend.\nYour eligibility remains in effect for 15 years or until the benefits are exhausted. The Bill provides for 36 months of benefits.\nUnlike the Active Duty version of the MGIB, the Post-9/11 GI Bill does not require an initial investment of $1,200. Thus, even military personnel serving on Active Duty who opted not to invest in the MGIB may still be eligible for the new Bill.\nWhich benefit to use?\nChoosing the right benefit can be complicated. The name of the game is maximizing your benefits within the bounds of the programs.\nFor example, assume that a person is eligible for the maximum payout of both the Active Duty MGIB and the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Further, assume that she lives and attends college in a state that offers free tuition and fees to certain veterans. She cannot receive benefits from both programs, so she has to choose one or the other. If she chooses the Post-9/11 GI Bill, she will receive the book stipends and the housing allowance; the Bill would pay tuition to the school, but there is no tuition. On the other hand, she would receive $1,321 per month under the MGIB.\nThe choice will also depend on the determined maximums for your state and the actual cost of your institution. For instance, imagine a veteran qualified for the same benefits as above. If she is in Pennsylvania, each term in which she is enrolled in 12 credits, the Post-9/11 GI Bill is willing to pay tuition up to $8,400, plus fees. But assume that she is attending a community college. Her actual tuition may only be $1,000 per term. In the end, it may come down to the housing allowance. In this example in Pennsylvania, her allowance may be between $805 and $1,768.\nMost people paying for their own education and eligible for multiple benefits will receive the most benefit from the Post-9/11 GI Bill, but it is important to weigh the actual payouts before making a selection.\nOne of the most highly anticipated features of the Post-9/11 GI Bill is the ability to transfer the benefits to a dependent. Not all of the information is available yet, but we know a few facts about this aspect of the Bill.\nThe first item to consider is that not every person is eligible to transfer their benefits. Servicemembers must have served at least six years in order to transfer. In addition, they must obligate to a period of additional service.\nMoreover, only certain dependents are eligible to receive the benefits. A spouse is eligible, but children must be unmarried and under 18, between 18 and 23 and enrolled in school, or over 18 and was incapable of self-support before reaching age 18. Once the benefits are transferred, a subsequent marriage or divorce does not affect them. The servicemember, however, always has the right to revoke or modify the transfer.\nIt would be nice to have all of the answers now, but you must admit: We\u2019ve come a long way since 1944.\nBy Sean-Michael Green",

(ANI)\nThe fate of the judge, who quit hours after exonerating Hindutva preacher Swami Assemanand and four others in the Mecca Masjid blast case yesterday, was unclear today as speculation swirled over the reason for his surprise action. There was no official word on whether his resignation has been accepted, with a top official of the Hyderabad High Court saying instructions have been issued not to go public about the issue. \u201cInstructions have been issued not to speak about the issue,\u201d the official, who did not want to be named said. He, however, acknowledged the matter was discussed at the level of the chief justice of the high court.\nSpeculation was rife in the judicial circles in Hyderabad that K Ravinder Reddy, the special judge for NIA cases, might have put in his papers to protest allotment of judges from Andhra Pradesh to the subordinate courts in Telangana. The Fourth Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge had put in his papers to the Metropolitan Sessions Judge citing \u201cpersonal reasons\u201d for his abrupt decision, which was termed as \u201cintriguing\u201d by Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.\nReddy had reportedly invited the wrath of the high court in 2016 when he participated in a protest for setting up a separate high court for Telangana and against the posting of judges from Andhra Pradesh to subordinate courts in the new state.\n\u201cHe was among the 11 subordinate court judges who were suspended by the Hyderabad High Court in June 2016 for protesting appointment of the judges who hail from Andhra Pradesh to the courts in Telangana and over the demand for setting up a separate high court for Telangana,\u201d a source in the Telangana Federation of Bar Association said.\nThe Hyderabad High Court \u2014 which is common for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana \u2014 had in June 2016 suspended the 11 judges on disciplinary grounds for participating in the agitation. Lawyers and judicial employees from Telangana had also participated in the agitation. The suspension was, however, revoked the next month. Amid speculation over the timing of Reddy\u2019s resignation, a senior judicial officer had said yesterday it had \u201cnothing\u201d to do with the judgement in the Mecca Masjid blast case.",

        "raw_content": "Five Rules For Bringing Your Real-Life Business Into Second Life\nIf you're thinking about establishing yourself in Second Life -- or are wondering whether you should -- we've got five rules that will help your new venture be a success.\nSecond Life is one of the most controversial technologies to hit the Internet. Praised last year as a platform that would turn the net upside down, this year it's being dismissed as an overhyped fraud and a waste of time and money.\nThe truth is somewhere in between last year's hype and this year's backlash. Second Life is revolutionary, but the revolution will take a few years to play out. For now, the virtual world is rough around the edges, and at times very difficult to use.\nNonetheless, you can get a lot out of bringing your real life business into Second Life. You can use Second Life for effective marketing, building relationships with customers and partners, and creating business value.\n1. Do Like Captain Picard Said: Engage\nInformationWeek has been doing business in Second Life for seven months. Our sister publication, Dr. Dobb's Journal, has been doing business in Second Life since October. And we've spent a lot of time talking to the business leaders of Second Life.\nOne thing we've learned: When doing business in Second Life, you can't just lecture people with your marketing message. You have to connect with them. Engage.\nCisco Systems has a big presence in Second Life, including a recent forum on mobility solutions.\n\"If you want to avoid people, get on the World Wide Web. That's solitary,\" said Christian Renaud, chief architect of networked virtual environments for Cisco, who heads up that company's virtual worlds strategy. \"If you want to interact with people, go into Second Life.\"\nCisco Systems has festooned its in-world campus with meeting rooms and areas where its user groups can get together. The real value of Second Life for Cisco is the opportunity for spontaneous customer interaction, Renaud said. \"It's like a birds-of-a-feather session that goes on 'round the clock,\" he said.\nCisco has 650 employee avatars registered in Second Life and six locations (known in Second Life jargon as \"islands\" or \"sims\"), four of which are open to the public. The company sponsors events once a week on average.\nWhen Cisco launched in Second Life last December, it built a lot of static displays where people could download content and learn about its products. But it found the displays just weren't attractive to residents, and so it tore the displays down and rebuilt, focusing instead on meeting rooms and coffee shops.\n\"What we did was put in a lot more areas for people to sit and talk with each other,\" Renaud said. \"We put in an area to do job interviews. We went from one to three amphitheaters, because we had so many meetings-and-greetings going on.\"",

If this were to be administered to humans, it would usually be purified so that only the active ingredients would be quantified for adequate dosing, Ojieh said.",

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have determined that the PTEX protein EXP2 forms a channel in the vacuole membrane, which allows for passage of proteins and cellular nutrients to supply the parasite.\nImage courtesy of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health\nAccording to the World Health Organization, in 2016 there were an estimated 216 million malaria cases and 445,000 malaria deaths. P. falciparum is responsible for most malaria-related deaths globally.\nThe parasite remodels the red blood cell it infects to obtain nutrients. During this process, the parasite secretes hundreds of proteins that need to be transported from the vacuole, the compartment in which the parasite resides, to the interior of the cell.\n\u00bbNICHD \u00bbNIH \u00bbPlasmodium \u00bbPlasmodium falciparum \u00bbblood cell \u00bbmalaria \u00bbmalaria parasite \u00bbmedical research \u00bbproteins \u00bbred blood cells \u00bbreproductive biology \u00bbvacuole\nA group of proteins, called the Plasmodium translocon of exported proteins (PTEX), has been shown to be essential for transporting materials to and from the vacuole.\nPrevious studies have uncovered the function of one of the proteins in the PTEX group to reshape proteins for transport, but the function of other proteins in the group have not been well understood.\nIn the current study, researchers analyzing blood cell cultures from healthy people determined that the PTEX protein EXP2 forms a channel in the vacuole membrane, which allows for passage of proteins and cellular nutrients to supply the parasite.\nThe researchers hope that their discovery will lead to the development of new drugs to prevent formation of the channel and block the transport of nutrients and proteins to the parasite.\nJoshua Zimmerberg, M.D., Ph.D., chief of the Section on Integrative Biophysics at NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, is available for comment.\nGarten, M.

And that kind of sartorial strength translates quite well off screen, namely on the red carpet.\nThree-time Emmy Award winner Louis-Dreyfus is up again for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (to air Sept. 27), and while we're anxious to see if she'll continue her winning streak, admittedly, we're more excited to see who she'll be wearing. Previously, she's been known to favor clean, minimalist designs, courtesy of Narciso Rodriguez, like her stunning white one-shoulder column that she wore to the Golden Globes earlier this year (pictured, left) and the the red-hot design she wore at last year's (right).\nWill she opt for a similar look? Or, will she add flourish with lace and embellishments?

        "raw_content": "AUSTRIA: Anheuser-Busch Free to Distribute AMERICAN BUD Beer\nContributor: Peter Israiloff, Barger, Piso & Partner, Vienna\nINTA Bulletin Law & Practice\u2014Europe Subcommittee\nVerifier: Barbara Kuchar, Gassauer-Fleissner Attorneys at Law, Vienna\nA long legal dispute between the Czech producer of BUDWEISER beer, Bud\u0115jovick\u00fd Budvar, n.p., and the Austrian distributor of its U.S. competitor AMERICAN BUD beer, Anheuser-Busch, Inc., has finally been terminated. As a result, AMERICAN BUD beer may be freely distributed in Austria because Bud\u0115jovick\u00fd Budvar\u2019s trademark BUD is not regarded as an appellation of origin in the sense of the European Union (EU) regulation on protection of geographical indications and appellations of origin (Council Regulation (EC) No. 510/2006, Mar. 20, 2006). (Case No. 17 Ob 20/11g (Supreme Court of Austria Aug. 9, 2011).)\nBud\u0115jovick\u00fd Budvar owns numerous domestic, European and international registrations for trademarks containing or consisting of the words BUDWEISER, BUDVAR, BUD, etc. All are senior to Anheuser-Busch\u2019s trademark AMERICAN BUD, under which the company\u2019s beer was sold in Austria until October 1999, when the dispute started.\nIn order to strengthen its position, Anheuser-Busch brought an invalidation action against Bud\u0115jovick\u00fd Budvar\u2019s international trademark BUD, which was declared invalid in Austria for non-use. (Case No. Om 14/01 (Nm 38/90) (Supreme Patent and Trademark Board Dec. 12, 2001); see 94 TMR 303-04 (2004).) Therefore, Bud\u0115jovick\u00fd Budvar based its cease and desist request on a 1976 bilateral treaty between Austria and the former Czechoslovakia granting protection to the trademark BUD for beer.\nInitially, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the court of first instance for amended proceedings in order to determine whether BUD was a simple and indirect geographical indication that would not be encompassed by the Regulation\u2014that is, whether the mark could be protected by a bilateral treaty between a member state of the EU (Austria) and a country that was independent of the EU and not subject to the Regulation (the former Czechoslovakia). (Case No. 4 Ob 127/05p (Supreme Court of Austria Nov. 29, 2005); see 98 TMR 336-37 (2008).)\nMeanwhile, on May 1, 2004, the Czech Republic joined the EU, which led to a change in the governing law, in that now the Regulation was primarily decisive. Although BUD had been granted protection in the Czech Republic as an appellation of origin, it was not registered as such according to the Regulation in the course of the country\u2019s accession to the EU. As one designation could not be regarded in one member state as an appellation of origin and simultaneously in another member state as a mere simple and indirect geographical indication, the Supreme Court held that BUD was to be regarded as an appellation of origin, without, however, any monopolizing scope of protection in Austria owing to lack of registration under the regime of the Regulation.",

        "title": "Danger is mounting in Asia | The Japan Times",
        "raw_content": "Danger is mounting in Asia\nWASHINGTON - As U.S. President Barack Obama ponders his second-term foreign policy, he faces jihadists spreading across North Africa, Syria dissolving into chaos, Israelis and Palestinians further apart than ever, Iraq trending toward civil war, Afghanistan mired in corruption and Iran relentlessly accelerating its nuclear program.\nThat may turn out to be the easy stuff.\nIn Asia, things could get really scary.\nSince he entered the White House, Obama has wanted to shift attention and resources to the Pacific. The biggest opportunities are there: economic growth, innovation, potential for cross-border investment and trade. That the 21st century will be a Pacific century has become a cliche.\nThe cliche may still prove out. But rather suddenly, the region of economic miracles has become a zone of frightening confrontation. The North Koreans are turning out videos depicting New York in flames. Chinese warships have fixed their weapon-targeting radar on a Japanese ship and helicopter. Quarrels have intensified between South Korea and Japan, North Korea and South Korea, China and the Philippines, India and China. Taiwan is always a possible flash point. Any one of these could drag the United States in.\nThe scariest development may be in North Korea, the world\u2019s only hereditary prison camp, where the young leader \u2014 the third-generation Kim \u2014 seems determined to expand and improve his nuclear arsenal until he becomes a genuine threat not only to South Korea and Japan but to the U.S. as well. Chinese officials are said to be alarmed by his intransigence but unwilling to try to rein him in, fearing even more the instability that might result. Obama in his first term adopted a reasonable policy of ignoring North Korea as much as possible, while making clear that he would reciprocate if it became more accommodating. Kim Jong Un, who is thought to be in his late 20s, could find ways to make that stance untenable.\nMeanwhile, China\u2019s increasing assertiveness discomfits neighbors throughout Southeast and East Asia. China has claimed pretty much the whole South China Sea, though its coastline is farther from much of it than that of Vietnam, Malaysia or the Philippines. It has sent planes and ships to challenge Japan over a few rocky outcroppings that Japan calls the Senkakus and China the Diaoyu Islands. It has been steadily increasing the size and capability of its military forces; for the first time in many years, a neighbor, Japan, is following suit.\nIf all this seems decidedly last century, maybe it\u2019s because new leaders in every key country are second- or third-generation, bearing the burdens of their past. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is the grandson of a leader of Imperial Japan \u2014 including in occupied China \u2014 who remade himself as a pro-American prime minister after World War II. South Korea\u2019s president-elect, Park Geun Hye, is the daughter of a longtime president; her mother was killed by a devotee of North Korea. (The bullet was intended for her father, who was later assassinated by his intelligence chief.)\nXi Jinping, China\u2019s new president, is the son of a revolutionary colleague of Mao Zedong who helped battle the Japanese during World War II. North Korea\u2019s Kim Jong Un is the grandson of Kim Il Sung, who according to North Korean mythology fought the Japanese in the 1930s and 1940s and the Americans and South Koreans in the 1950s.\nIt\u2019s intriguing to speculate on the ghostly whisperings these leaders may hear. It may be more useful, though, to focus on the national weaknesses that may propel them to act. North Korea is a failed and hungry state for which blackmail and bluster have long been the only survival strategy.\nChina is a rising power and a growing economy \u2014 but led by a one-party regime that may be tempted to use nationalism to distract a restive population from domestic troubles. Japan has discarded one prime minister after another, pretty much on an annual basis, for most of the past decade, an instability that leaves it punching below its economic and military weight.\nAll of this makes the region hungry for U.S. presence and leadership, which Obama understood with his first-term promise of a \u201cpivot\u201d to Asia. Regional leaders hope he can make good on that promise in a second term but wonder whether U.S. policy, too, will be shaped by political weakness. They notice when the U.S. Navy announces that it is, again, reducing its planned number of ships or U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta orders an aircraft carrier kept in port because of budgetary constraints.\nThey wonder who will inherit the Asia focus of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and departing Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell. They see the dangers, from Mali to Kandahar, that pull Obama\u2019s attention. They hope it won\u2019t take a more dangerous crisis in their region to make the pivot a reality.\nFred Hiatt is the Post\u2019s editorial page editor\nJapan, North Korea, Asia",

        "title": "How to Get the Most from Your Interior Design Project",
        "raw_content": "Designing a home may come naturally for some people but others have to work at it. Choosing the best furnishings to go with the flooring or wall color can be difficult. What you think may look great together will often clash and look messy or distracting. For this reason, many homeowners turn to interior design firms in Miami to help them create the perfect home design. However, if you truly want to get the most from your interior design, you need to have good communication skills.\nThe best interior designers in the world may not get it right if they don\u2019t know what you really want. You have to talk to the designer and let her know what you hope to accomplish when the project is complete. It\u2019s then their job to make it happen. Here are a few more tips on how to get the most from your interior design project.\nYour home d\u00e9cor and design should be a reflection of you. It should suit your personality and show off your interests. It\u2019s one of the things that make it unique to you and this is where communication between you and your designer is so vital. Don\u2019t be shy, speak up and let her know what you like and don\u2019t like. Even if you\u2019re not exactly sure which style you\u2019re going for and you want her to choose for you, this type of information will still help her create something that works for you personally. Talk about what styles you like the best and which colors interest you the most. This is your home so make it personal.\nIt\u2019s easy to be carried away when you think about redecorating your home but when it comes to the actual plans, be realistic. Do you really want to tear that wall down and combine the two rooms together? Are you positive you want to add a new fireplace in the bedroom? Sometimes, ideas sound good when you first think of them but they don\u2019t always work. Look at the big picture and it will help you choose a design that works better for you.\nWhile it can be tempting to go with the newest furniture designs on the market, it\u2019s not practical. If you have an extra room that you simply want to use to display your personal taste, then its fine to choose items for your d\u00e9cor based purely on looks. However, when choosing furnishings for any room in the home where you or other family members plan to spend time, then comfort should be considered first or you won\u2019t be satisfied with the results.\nListen to the Interior Designer\u2019s Opinion\nYou do want to voice your opinion and talk to your designer about what you want when the project is finished but it\u2019s also important for you to listen to her opinion. A professional interior designer has spent years studying d\u00e9cor and designs. She knows what works and what don\u2019t. You are paying for her expertise, so listen to her advice and ask for alternatives when you discover something you wanted is not the best option. Communicating with the interior designer, making your design personal, being realistic and choosing comfort will all help you get the most from your interior design project.\nf your restaurant is in need of a remodel or if you plan to expand and build a new one in the near future, then it\u2019s important to understand the key elements that make up a successful restaurant interior design. This is not something that you want to take lightly because the interior design you [\u2026]\nWindowsill Cushion Seats: Furniture with a View\nTurn your windows into furniture with a view by installing windowsill seats. Window seats are not a new interior design idea. In fact, they\u2019ve been around for centuries but they\u2019ve become more complex and stylish throughout the years. They look great in any style home and the new modern interior designs available today make it [\u2026]",

This is about the Yeshivah Community.\u201d\nHe went on to send a message to the community\u2019s leaders.\n\u201cStatements that \u201cchild sexual abuse is condemned\u201d; that \u201cvictims should come forward and go to the police\u201d and \u201cno victim that acts thus is to be ostracised in any way\u201d are welcome (and, to give credit, have already been made) but are no longer sufficient. As the evidence from the Commission shows, sentiment without action is not enough.\u201d\nThe Rabbi also said, moving forward, that accountability for organisations will help make sure this does not happen again.\n\u201cThese events occurred because of a lack of oversight of those who led institutions \u2013 a situation riddled with danger that still exists today in many Jewish institutions, run by charismatic, noble, but unaccountable rabbis.\n\u201cIt is essential that any such leader is answerable to a body empowered to ask critical questions regarding child protection or any other crucial areas where mistakes can remain hidden with disastrous consequences. Donors should check that such oversight is in place before supporting any organisation. Only in this way can we ensure that terrible mistakes are not made again.\u201d\n\u2018World changers\u2019 visit Israel",

It is understood that she was detained on December 1, the day on which the heads of state of China and the United States met. Did China and the United States talk about this in their meeting?\nA: On the first question, I cant discuss the details of the case here.\nWhat I can tell you is that when China learns the relevant information, it will provide consular assistance to the parties at the first time and make strict representations to the Canadian side and the US side, requesting the other side to clarify the reasons for detention immediately, release the detainees immediately, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties.\nOn the second question, regarding the meeting between the heads of state of China and the United States, both sides have issued news, which you are advised to consult.\nQ: Executives like Meng Wanzhou have been convicted in Canada for violating US sanctions against Iran. What is Chinas comment on this?\nA: As a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, China has consistently earnestly and strictly implemented Security Council resolutions. At the same time, we oppose unilateral sanctions imposed by one country on other countries outside the framework of the Security Council. This position is consistent and clear.\nIn addition, as far as I know, Huawei has issued a statement emphasizing that Huawei complies with all applicable laws and regulations in the country where it operates. I suggest you check it.\nQ: A spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Canada said that Mengs late boat did not violate any laws of the United States and Canada. What is the basis for this?\nA: I said that just now. China has expressed its solemn position on this case to Canada and the United States respectively, demanding that the other side clarify the reasons for detention immediately, release the detainees immediately, and effectively safeguard the legitimate and legitimate rights and interests of the parties.\nAt the same time, I believe you have noticed that Huawei has made a statement on this matter. I suggest you consult the relevant content.\nQ: In fact, the Canadian side has not clearly explained the reason why Meng Wanzhou was detained. Is that so?\nA: China has made solemn representations to the Canadian side and the United States on this issue, and has expressed its solemn position, demanding that the other side clarify the reasons for detention immediately and release the detainees immediately.\nAs far as I know, neither the United States nor Canada has made any clarification on the reasons for detention.\nQ: Does China consider this a criminal legal case or a political event?\nQ: The Chinese Embassy in Canada said that the Canadian actions seriously violated the human rights of Bangladeshs late boat, which the Canadian side said was detained according to Canadian law. Why does China say that her human rights have been seriously violated?\nA: As far as I know, the Chinese Consulate General in Vancouver provides consular assistance to the parties at the first time. China calls on Canada to ensure the safety, humanitarian treatment and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens. The detention of a person without giving a clear reason is, of course, a violation of the human rights of the parties.\nIn addition, as I said just now, neither Canada nor the United States has made any clarification on the reasons for detention.\nQ: It is reported that Meng Wanzhou holds passports from Canada and China. Did Meng Wanzhou have a Chinese passport when he entered Canada? Does this affect the way this case is handled as a consular case?\nA: As I said just now, I cant discuss the details of this case here.\nSource: Responsible Editor of Foreign Ministry Website: Yao Liwei_NT6056\n, \"url\" : https://www.jqknews.com/news/107187-Ren_Zhengfeis_daughter_was_arrested_and_the_Ministry_of_Foreign_Affairs_answered_nine_questions_and_repeated_this_sentence_six_times.html, \"publisher\" : { \"@type\" : \"Organization\", \"name\" : \"jqknews\" } }\nRen Zhengfeis daughter was arrested and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs answered nine questions and repeated this sentence six times.\nQ: It is reported that the Canadian government has detained Ms. Meng Wanzhou, Chief Financial Officer of Huawei Company.

        "raw_content": "I'm really glad Adrian's been getting into the True Spirit of the Snarkatron this holiday season.\nBrigadoon The Time Machine\nBrigadoon isn't a love story -- I mean, it is, of course, because it's a musical, but it really shouldn't be. It's a horror movie, a grotesquerie, a terrifying sci-fi cautionary tale with extraordinarily threatening religious undertones. It shouldn't be a lushly produced, Vincente Minelli-directed Cinemascope tentpole with an iconic Lerner-and-Loewe book and score (respectively), it should be a deeply chilling, very special episode of the Twilight Zone. [...]\nFirst: Effectively, the residents of Brigadoon are experiencing a normal, continuous life, going to bed and then waking up, except that when they wake up, it's 100 years later than when they fell asleep. Where the village goes when it disappears, and whether the residents literally sleep for 100 years without aging or whether they in fact are in a Brigadoon-effect bubble of time dilation and sleep for just one night is unclear, but since the source of the village's magic in this world is actually, literally, Yaweh the Judeo-Christian god, let's just wave away the question and file it under \"omnipotence, idk.\" Functionally, when you go to sleep in Brigadoon, you wake up a century in the future.\nSecond: If the village was cursed blessed with its time-dilation bubble 200 years ago, and it's on a century cycle, that means that this is only the second time ever that the village has reappeared. More to the point, because the Brigadoonians experience time continuously, it's only two days later for them. The priest prayed his magic wish-prayer and it was granted by apparently Loki-Yahweh or someone and the entire town is trapped in a time-dilation bubble and it's ONLY BEEN TWO DAYS and they are all SHOCKINGLY CALM ABOUT THIS which is ABSOLUTELY INSANE. [...]\nMore to the point, though, how is this nightmare reality in which they now live not the entire focus of the story? [...] It seems to me that a foundational allure of creating a world in which magic/weird science/God-induced miracles exists would be sitting down and seeing what the logical consequences are of your authorial tweak to the fabric of reality. (For example, I am constantly annoyed whenever characters in stories encounter ghosts or the spirits of dead people, and don't immediately reassess their metaphysical understanding of reality, particularly their own corporeal forms, and also just completely recalibrate their own fear of death. Wouldn't you?)\nBut seriously. If you're going to create a world where an entire town of Puritanical eighteenth-century Scots(wo)men have their town converted into a forward-motion-only time machine that will, in the span of just one year in their eyes, deposit them in the year 38235 -- that's thirty-eight thousand two hundred thirty five -- in what frickin universe does it make any sense whatsoever to make your story about a guy one of the village girls develops a crush on, on day goddamn two!?!\nTags: movies, religion, space\nElectoral College must reject Trump unless he sells his business, top lawyers for Bush and Obama say:\nEisen's conclusions are shared by Harvard Law Professor Larry Tribe, one of the nation's preeminent constitutional scholars. Tribe told ThinkProgress that, after extensive research, he concluded that \"Trump's ongoing business dealings around the world would make him the recipient of constitutionally prohibited 'Emoluments' from 'any King, Prince, or foreign State'\u200a-- in the original sense of payments and not necessarily presents or gifts\u200a-- from the very moment he takes the oath.\"\nThe only solution would be to divest completely from his businesses. Failing that, Tribe elaborated on the consequences:\nTrump would be knowingly breaking his oath of exclusive fealty (under Art. II, Sec.1) to a Constitution whose very first Article (Art. I, Sec. 9)\u200a-- an Article deliberately designed to prevent any U.S. official,especially the Chief Executive, from being indebted to, or otherwise the recipient of financial remuneration from, any foreign power or entity answerable to such a power\u200a-- he would be violating as he repeated the words recited by the Chief Justice.\nTribe said the violation would qualify as one of the \"high Crimes and Misdemeanors\" that would require Trump to be \"removed from Office.\"\nThis is where the Electoral College comes in. Tribe notes that the Electoral College was \"originally conceived by Framers like Alexander Hamilton as a vital safeguard against the assumption of the Presidency by an 'unfit character' or one incapable of serving faithfully to 'execute the Office of President of the United States [and] preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.'\"\n\"[T]o vote for Trump in the absence of such complete divestment... would represent an abdication of the solemn duties of the 538 Electors,\" Tribe said.\nConventional wisdom tells us that the electoral college requires that the person who lost the popular vote this year must nonetheless become our president. That view is an insult to our framers. It is compelled by nothing in our Constitution. It should be rejected by anyone with any understanding of our democratic traditions\u200a-- most important, the electors themselves. [...]\nOnly twice in our past has the electoral college selected a president against the will of the people -- once in the 19th\u2009century and once on the cusp of the 21st. [...] In both cases, the result violated what has become one of the most important principles governing our democracy\u200a-- one person, one vote. In both cases, the votes of some weighed much more heavily than the votes of others. Today, the vote of a citizen in Wyoming is four times as powerful as the vote of a citizen in Michigan. The vote of a citizen in Vermont is three times as powerful as a vote in Missouri. This denies Americans the fundamental value of a representative democracy -- equal citizenship. Yet nothing in our Constitution compels this result.\nInstead, if the electoral college is to control who becomes our president, we should take it seriously by understanding its purpose precisely. It is not meant to deny a reasonable judgment by the people. It is meant to be a circuit breaker -- just in case the people go crazy.\nYet that is not the question the electors must weigh as they decide how to cast their ballots. Instead, the question they must ask themselves is whether there is any good reason to veto the people's choice.\nThere is not. And indeed, there is an especially good reason for them not to nullify what the people have said\u200a-- the fundamental principle of one person, one vote. We are all citizens equally. Our votes should count equally. And since nothing in our Constitution compels a decision otherwise, the electors should respect the equal vote by the people by ratifying it on Dec. 19.\nMake the Electoral College great again: let \"conscientious electors\" do their jobs.\nFirst, let's retire the nomenclature of \"faithless electors\" once and for all. Let's call electors who refuse to rubber-stamp the popular vote conscientious electors, and let's give them the resources and the protection to investigate and deliberate -- in short, to do their jobs.\nThe first was to stop a demagogue from becoming president. At the Constitutional Convention, arguing in support of the Electoral College, Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts said he was \"against a popular election\" for president because the people would be \"misled by a few designing men.\" In Federalist No. 68, Alexander Hamilton wrote that the electors would prevent those with \"Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity\" from becoming president. They would also stop anyone who would \"convulse the community with any extraordinary or violent movements.\"\nThe second goal was to stop foreign interference in election. In the founding period, the framers were extremely concerned about infiltration by rivals including Great Britain. In Federalist No. 68, Hamilton wrote that one major purpose of the Electoral College was to stop the \"desire in foreign powers to gain an improper ascendant in our councils.\" He said that the college would \"Guard against all danger of this sort ... with the most provident and judicious attention\" from the electors.\nThe third goal was to prevent poor administration of government. This is a less well-known purpose of the Electoral College, but it is again expressly discussed in Federalist No. 68. Hamilton wrote that \"the true test of a good government is its aptitude and tendency to produce a good administration,\" and for that reason, he said, the electors should be \"able to estimate the share which the executive in every government must necessarily have in its good or ill administration.\"\nThe People Chose Hillary Clinton. Now We Need To Stop Donald Trump From Trashing Our Democracy.\nLet's review: We have a president-elect who:\nWill end up having received around 2.5 million fewer votes than his main opponent.\nWhose campaign benefited, almost no one now disputes, from the help provided him by Russian intelligence agencies and other even more shadowy Russian actors -- which is to say that foreign agents, whether Russian or any nationality, sought to influence this election to an unprecedented degree.\nWho is so tied up in compromises and conflicts because of his business dealings that past White House ethics lawyers, including at least one Republican one, say he will be in violation of the Constitution from his first day in office and argue that the Electoral College must not seat him.\nHas already told the American people that, with respect to number 3, his attitude is precisely that of Richard Nixon, back when Nixon declared the president to be by the very nature of the office above the law. Trump said that the president \"can't have a conflict of interest\" -- meaning, presumably, that it can't happen simply because he's the president.\nAnd it's going great so far:\n\"Regardless if it was deliberate or accidental, this phone call will fundamentally change China's perceptions of Trump's strategic intentions for the negative,\" he said. \"With this kind of move, Trump is setting a foundation of enduring mistrust and strategic competition for US-China relations.\" [...]\nAri Fleischer, the White House press secretary under George W. Bush, tweeted on Friday that he \"wasn't even allowed to refer\" to the government \"of\" Taiwan when serving in the Bush administration. \"I could say government 'on' Taiwan,\" he noted. \"China will go nuts.\"\nSen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, tweeted that while \"it's Trump's right to shift policy, alliances, strategy ... what has happened in the last 48 hours is not a shift. These are major pivots in foreign policy w/out any plan. That's how wars start. And if they aren't pivots -- just radical temporary deviations -- allies will walk if they have no clue what we stand for. Just as bad.\"\nTags: big brother, conspiracies, corporations, doomed\nGreat bike lights\nI've been using these bike lights for a bit over a year and I highly recommend them -- primarily because they are really not kidding about the anti-theft guarantee! Since I live in San Francisco, where we can't have nice things, they've now sent me three replacement lights for free, so that has definitely been money well spent.\nFortified Bicycle Aviator & Afterburner\nThese lightweight aluminum lights lock to your handlebars and seat post with custom security bolts, and are guaranteed to last forever - If they're ever stolen, broken or water damaged, Fortified will replace 'em! Swap batteries on the go with removable, rechargeable USB batteries. 150 lumens in the front perfectly illuminates city streets, while 30 lumens in the rear keeps drivers alert. If you're looking to fully illuminate the darkest suburban paths and urban alleyways, try the Boost version with 300 lumens in the front and 60 lumens in the rear to keep drivers at a distance.\nThey're relatively difficult to steal... The screws are pentalobe with a post: obscure but not unheard of. After the first theft, I \"fixed\" that by filling up the screw head with superglue. The most recent crackhead managed to steal half of the light, which isn't really going to work out so well for them.\nThey're bright and the batteries last a pretty long time. My only real complaint is that they turn on with a single tap, so often passing strangers using the same bike rack as me manage to turn them on accidentally, and I regularly come out to discover a dead battery.\nTags: bike, firstperson, reviews, security, sf\nCity Attorney Spraying Anti-Trump Graffiti While Drinking Wine Is All We Have Left\nFor the liberal elites, it's come to this. We've been reduced to this. We are all Duncan Lloyd, an assistant city solicitor in Philadelphia.\nLloyd was busted by surveillance cameras videoing a buddy spraying \"Fuck Trump\" on the side of a newly opened Fresh Grocer. Lloyd is pictured below in his civil disobedience uniform.\nYes. That's a man, wearing an ascot, holding a glass of wine, who tagged an upscale supermarket.\nThis is our life now, hyper-educated coastal elites. We're not going to stock up on guns and insta-waffles. We're not going to hop in a Prius and ethanol-roll motorists we disagree with. We're not going to burn an American flag, because we don't own an American flag, because what kind of jingoistic prick can find space for a freaking flag in a one-bedroom apartment? [...]\n\"If the image of an upper-middle-class city attorney clad in a blazer and sipping wine while vandalizing an upscale grocery store with an anti-Trump message strikes you as perhaps the most bourgeois sight imaginable, that's because it is,\" said Joe DeFelice, chairman of the Philadelphia Republican Party.\nCum Rags for Congress\nSatanists Protest Texas Abortion Law with Semen Socks\nHaving mailed a ejaculate-covered sock to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, along with a handwritten note that says, \"These r babies. Plz bury,\" Blackmore is publicly encouraging others to send Governor Abbott semen-encrusted materials of their own.\n\"The concept of the state mandating a non-medical ritual as part of the abortion procedure is offensive and crude, essentially demanding that all citizens adopt the moral, philosophical opinion that fetal tissue is comparable to a living human,\" she tells Broadly. \"Fetal tissue has the 'potential' to become a human, but is not a human yet, does not have consciousness, and cannot exist without the mother host.\" She points out that semen and ova have the potential to become human life, yet \"we do not mourn every ejaculation.\"\nWhen asked to elaborate on the symbolic significance of the action, Blackmore responds, \"It's crass, humiliating, disgusting, a waste of resources, and absurd, just like this regulation.\"\nTags: perversions, pranks, religion",

Kangaride will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with Section 5.\n6. RESPONSIBILITIES OF KANGARIDE AND ITS MEMBERS\nKangaride validates information submitted by driver members from Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec with the applicable transportation authority (the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia and the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d'assurance automobile du Qu\u00e9bec). This information is validated at the time of a driver membership activation and on a yearly basis thereafter in order to insure the validity of the driver's license. Kangaride does not perform background checks on its members, cannot be responsible for the behaviour of its members or any criminal acts committed by them before, during or after a ride, and does not verify or validate the veracity of the information submitted that is unrelated to driver's license information.\nKangaride is committed to handling within reasonable time any breach of the Charter of Responsibilities for Members that is brought to its attention. Kangaride maintains control over the Content that is sent and displayed to members in order to promote the reliability of the Service, but does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. You understand that by using the Service, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will Kangaride be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of or reliance upon any Content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the Service.\n6.2 Rules of Conduct for Driver Members\nAny breach of the Charter of Responsibilities for Members could result in the suspension of your account (in which case you could be asked to pay a reactivation fee in order to have your account privileges reinstated) or in the permanent closing of your account and membership. As a driver member of our service, you agree to:\n1. provide true and accurate information in your ride postings and designate clear meeting places for your passengers;\n2. follow the indications and information you included in the ride postings;\n3. arrive at the meeting place at least 5 minutes prior to the departure time defined in your ride posting;\n4. inform Kangaride of any cancellation at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure time for the ride. Any last-minute cancellations could result in your account being suspended or your membership privileges being revoked;\n5. wait at least 10 minutes at the meeting place if one of your passengers is missing and inform Kangaride of any missing passengers;\n6. verify the identity of your passengers and make sure the passengers riding with you are the ones who reserved seats;\n7. make sure your passengers are dropped off at the location they agreed on, in a safe and timely manner;\n8. abide by the Highway Safety Code for the jurisdiction(s) in which you are travelling;\n9. maintain your vehicle in good working condition and verify its condition before each ride;\n10.\thave car insurance that covers the transport of passengers;\n11. abide by the laws of your province or state and country regarding driving, carpooling, and ridesharing;\n12. seat at most two passengers in the back seat of the vehicle (for a conventional five-seat car) even if the maximum capacity is higher;\n13. be respectful of others and let Kangaride know of any harmful or disrespectful behaviour or any breach of the Rules of Conduct by passengers;\n14. not post rides with your Kangaride account for anyone else other than yourself.\n15. advise Kangaride administrators if another user infringes on the Terms of Service. In such circumstances, only the administrators can impose a fine to the users at fault.\n16. make sure that, for a given route, the contribution requested from each passenger multiplied by the number of occupants in the car (yourself included), does not exceed the amount required to cover the normal operating cost of your vehicle.* If this is not the case, be aware that your use of the service does not fit within the legal definition of carpooling.\n* As a rough guide, the Canada Revenue Agency allowance rate for travel compensation indicates that an employee using their own vehicle for travel may receive compensation of $ 0.54 / km for the first 5,000 kilometers driven in a fiscal year and $ 0.48 / km for all subsequent kilometers traveled.\n6.3 Passenger Members Rules of Conduct\nAny breach of the Charter of Responsibilities for Members could result in the suspension of your account (in which case you could be asked to pay a reactivation fee in order to have your account privileges reinstated) or in the permanent closing of your account and membership. As a passenger member of our service, you agree to:\n1. arrive at the meeting place at least 5 minutes prior to the departure time defined in the ride posting;\n2. know and abide by your driver's preferences and requirements including but not limited to secondhand smoke, size of luggage, acceptance of pets, and all other preferences defined in the ride posting;\n3. inform Kangaride of any cancellation at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure time for the ride. Any last minute cancellations could result in your account being suspended or your membership privileges being revoked;\n4. wait at least 15 minutes at the meeting place if your driver is missing, and inform Kangaride that your driver is missing;\n5. make sure that the name of the driver and the car model, colour and license plate number correspond to the information that was relayed to you by Kangaride;\n6. abide by the Highway Safety Code;\n7. abide by the laws of your province or state and country regarding carpooling;\n8. be respectful of others and let Kangaride know of any harmful or disrespectful behaviour or any breach of the Rules of Conduct by other passengers or by your driver;\n9. not book seats with your account for anyone else other than yourself, unless the other person(s) travel(s) with you in the same car for the same ride.\n10. advise Kangaride administrators if another user infringes on the Terms of Service.\n1. Please note that repeated cancellations greatly reduce the overall reliability of the service for driver as well as passenger members. Kangaride reserves the right to suspend your account and, if applicable, not reimburse the booking credits used for the transaction, after your third cancellation within the same year of membership.\n2. If the contribution to the driver has been preauthorized on your credit card, a part of this amount could be charged and given to the driver. The booking credit is a distinct fee and is not included in the conditions stated below.\nIf the cancellation of a passenger occurs more than 24 hours before the expected departure time, the passenger keeps the entire contribution.\nIf the driver cancels the ride, the passenger keeps the entire contribution.\nIf the passenger does not show up on the meeting point at the expected departure time without cancelling properly* his place, the entire contribution is charged on the passenger's credit card to be given to the driver.\nIf the passenger cancels his place properly* less than 24 hours before the expected departure time, half of the contribution is given to the driver.\n* Any cancellations can be done online on the reservation page or with the customer service by phone at 1-855-526-4274. No other arrangements with the driver will be considered valid.\n6.5 Good Faith Clause\nAll participants in a rideshare have the responsibility to ensure that the ride goes as smoothly as possible. A good-faith approach and adherence to the values of Kangaride are required from all members, even if another member infringes on the terms of service. These values are: collaboration, care, and commitment to excellence.\nA passenger doesn't have the exact change to pay for the ride. She has a $20 bill instead of the $15 required.\nKangaride recommends that all passengers have exact change on them to pay their driver. However, in accordance with the values of our organization, all those occupying the vehicle (including the driver) are encouraged to make change among themselves if possible so that the payment can take place.\nA passenger calls Kangaride outside of our hours of operation to cancel a booking.\nIf the departure is imminent (the next morning, for example), we encourage the passenger to inform the driver directly of the cancellation, by phone or by email. As a rule, the administrators inform drivers of cancellations by their passengers. However, if the cancellation occurs outside of our opening hours, it is sometimes not possible for us to let the driver know before the departure time. In these cases, the collaboration of the passengers who must cancel is encouraged.\nA driver calls Kangaride outside of our hours of operation to cancel a trip.\nIf the departure is imminent (the next morning, for example), we encourage the driver to inform their passengers directly of the cancellation, by phone or email. As a rule, the administrators inform passengers of cancellations. However, if the cancellation occurs outside of our opening hours, it is sometimes not possible for us to let passengers know before the departure time. In these cases, the collaboration of the drivers who must cancel is encouraged.\n6.6 General Rules of Conduct for Members\na. upload, post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available any Content that is harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, torturous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable or generally unlawful;\nc. impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a Kangaride official, forum leader, guide or host, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;\ng. upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, \"junk mail,\" \"spam,\" \"chain letters,\" \"pyramid schemes,\" or any other form of illegal solicitation;\nk. intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, provincial, national or international law, and any regulations having the force of law;\nl. collect or provide funds, directly or indirectly, in order to carry out terrorist crimes, contribute to or facilitate the activities of a terrorist group, or instruct anyone to carry out a terrorist activity, including doing any of the foregoing in relation to a listed entity under s.83.05 of Part II.1 of the Criminal Code;\nm. \"stalk\" or otherwise harass another;\nn. collect or store personal data about other users without their express consent, or in connection with the prohibited conduct and activities set forth in paragraphs (a) through (m) above.\nYou understand that all materials, including without limitation, information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, and email messages or other kinds of messages (\"Content\"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated.

        "raw_content": "Modifying a custody agreement\nOn behalf of Kevin Moser Law, PLLC posted in blog on Thursday, January 4, 2018.\nOne of the most critical aspects of a divorce involving children is deciding child custody. Though a custody agreement may work at first, circumstances may change that make new arrangements a necessity.\nIt is important that parents understand the various aspects of child custody, including modifications. There are a few key factors to know about modifying a child custody agreement.\nThe courts do not tend to provide custody modifications easily. The petitioning party must show a true need for the changes, for instance:\nThe custodial parent relocating\nChange in a parent's physical or financial state\nChange in the child's physical or mental health\nIn order for the courts to consider a modification, there must be an event that may have a serious impact on the child. Sometimes, this may even include the child growing in age and a parent desiring to spend more time with the child.\nKentucky statute for custody modifications clearly states the stipulations for requesting, granting and executing modifications to a custody agreement. According to the law, an agreement must be in place for at least two years before either party may request a modification. Along with the time frame, a request must meet a few additional requirements. However, there are some emergency situations where the courts willingly make an exception to the law.\nEmergency situations that constitute an exception commonly involve children being in danger, whether it is a threat of harm to them or lack of care from the parents. If a parent is able to prove abuse, the courts may remove the child from that parent and provide full custody to the other parent. Alternatively, in cases where a parent passes away or becomes incapacitated, the courts may modify the custody arrangement to place the child with the other parent primarily.\nThese are a few of the key factors of a custody modification. If a parent is considering filing a petition or having to fight one, it is a good time to review the law and consider consulting with a knowledgeable attorney.",

        "raw_content": "How to keep emotions in check during a divorce\nDivorce can be an emotional time for Kentucky residents and anyone else going through it. Therefore, it can be tempting to try and win the divorce by any means necessary. Of course, the truth is that no one really wins in a divorce even if most people claim that their former spouses got the better deal in the settlement. This is because all parties to the end of a marriage have to adjust to their new realities.\nDuring the divorce process, individuals should constantly ask themselves if they are making decisions in a rational manner. They should also consider why they are making a given decision and if it was made in a graceful and dignified manner. Consulting with an attorney may allow a person to ask questions related to the end of a marriage, such as how to handle joint credit cards or other accounts.\nA person going through a divorce may also want to ask about keeping the marital home or have other questions related to splitting marital assets. To prepare for settlement negotiations, it is a good idea to have as many financial records as possible. These records could include bank statements, tax records or a copy of a credit report. Ideally, individuals will refrain from making comments on social media about the divorce until after it is has been finalized.\nThere are many issues that may need to be resolved in a divorce, such as splitting marital property or deciding who gets custody of the children. In some cases, these issues may be resolved through private talks or mediation sessions. In other situations, going to court may be the best solution. An attorney may be able to help a person obtain a favorable outcome regardless of how a divorce settlement is ultimately created.",

        "title": "Los Angeles Allergist | Allergy Doctor Los Angeles",
        "raw_content": "Allergist Los Angeles\nDr. Aminpour\nAs a condition that affects over 50 million Americans, allergies are responsible for more visits to the doctor than any other condition. Why is it so prevalent in today\u2019s society? A generation ago people suffering from allergies were uncommon. Today it is so common that learning how to administer a life saving anaphylactic shot is a job requirement for those working with children. If you're looking for one of the most qualified allergists Los Angeles can lay claim to, contact Dr. Aminpour today.\nIf you are experiencing allergic reactions and are looking for relief, allergy doctor Dr. Shervin Aminpour is a board-certified ENT in Los Angeles who specializes in testing and treatment. There are many new treatments for allergies which can greatly improve the quality of life for everybody. Consulting a Los Angeles allergist familiar with this city's environmental factors is the first step to regaining freedom from symptoms such as hay fever.\nWhy are 1 in 5 Americans Suffering from Allergies?\nOne theory is called the hygiene hypothesis. 200 years ago clean drinking water was not readily available, especially in urban areas. Water treatment of city water didn't begin until after 1820. The population was regularly exposed to bacteria and the body\u2019s immune system was constantly strengthened by the necessity of fighting off cholera and typhoid bacteria among others.\nComing forward in time, medical science developed vaccinations, antibiotics, disinfectants and other tools to fight disease and while we are now highly protected from bacteria, we have suffered by throwing the immune system out of balance. We live in a relatively sterile world now spending much of our time indoors. We are not exposed to the vast array of bacteria that exist in the soil, plants and animals unless we live on a farm.\nThis theory is strengthened by the fact that people living on farms are far less likely to develop allergies. Another fact is that in developing countries, allergies are actually rare. The people in these areas are constantly exposed to many forms of bacteria which keeps their immune system in balance.\nThe immune system of Western populations is out of balance causing an exaggerated response to everyday environmental materials. Consulting a leading allergy doctor in Los Angeles allows sufferers to have their specific allergies identified and effectively treated. Dr. Aminpour is considered one of the best allergists in Los Angeles by his many grateful and relieved patients.\nBy definition, allergies are the abnormal response of the immune system to substances that are usually harmless, such as pollen, fur or peanuts. When the immune system reacts, the result is the symptoms such as sneezing, itching and watery eyes.\nAllergies are often associated with foods or seasonal changes. When weather warms up, trees, plants and grasses emit pollen into the air, which often triggers reactions in people. Some people have allergies that last year-round as well, with reactions to plants, animals, food and more.\nThere are several ways in which patients can be exposed to allergens. Perhaps the most common is inhalation or skin exposure, and this can occur with pollen, ragweed or animal dander. Symptoms include:\nWatering and itchy eyes\nFeeling drained or ill\nFood consumption can also cause allergic reactions. People are commonly allergic to foods such as peanuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish and shellfish. This results in:\nInsect stings, such as from a bee or a wasp, can cause:\nSwelling at the sting site\nWhen these symptoms are observed, you should visit Los Angeles allergy doctor Shervin Aminpour. In severe situations, a patient can experience an allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a very harsh reaction that requires medical attention on an immediate basis. The most common causes of anaphylaxis are:\nInsect allergies, such as a bee sting\nAnaphylaxis produces a number of severe symptoms, including:\nItching and hives all over the body\nShortness of breath or total inability to breathe\nA Top Allergist in Los Angeles\nDr. Aminpour is a board-certified ear, nose and throat doctor and is amongst the best allergists in Los Angeles. He offers among the most effective allergy treatment in the area, regularly providing his patients with total relief. If you suffer from allergies, please give us a call to set an appointment.\nAllergist Dr. Aminpour in the Media\nThough there are still many questions about why allergies develop in the first place, there is information on what\u2019s happening in your body.\nThe immune system is the body\u2019s defense system \u2014 it fights off invading germs that get into your body. This defense system, composed of white blood cells, works 24 hours a day to keep you healthy.\nWhen someone has allergies, the immune system and white blood cells see the invading germs as dangerous, even when they\u2019re actually harmless. The pollen, animal dander or other substance enters into your body and your immune system immediately goes into action.\nOnce the substance enters your body, the body releases chemicals, called histamines, to fight the invader. The histamines cause your blood vessels to open up, allowing more blood to flow. Fluid containing more defensive chemicals now flows more easily from your bloodstream into individual cells. As this happens, the small blood vessels in your nose widen, causing fluids to leak into the surrounding tissues. This is where you get the runny nose, itching, watery eyes and other symptoms of nasal allergies.\nEssentially your body successfully fights off substances that it deems dangerous, but it is a wasted effort because with allergies, the substances are usually harmless.\nPatients of Dr. Aminpour call him the best allergist Los Angeles has available, because of his ability to provide total relief for anybody in need. He does this by treating the source of the allergy, not just treating the symptoms. This is vital for obtaining permanent relief.\nDr. Aminpour offers a unique form of allergy therapy known as immunotherapy. This involves administering extracts of known allergens, which actually alters the body\u2019s reaction, giving the patient relief from the source of allergies.\nAs a minimally invasive procedure offering permanent relief, balloon sinuplasty is a breakthrough in ENT technology. Dr. Aminpour is a certified balloon sinuplasty technician, and has helped countless patients through this short, outpatient procedure.\nEustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a condition affecting up to 5% of the adult population. It can cause muffled hearing, pain in the ear, and other symptoms. Untreated, long term Eustachian tube dysfunction can have serious health consequences, including damage to the eardrum and middle ear.\nAllergies FAQ\nImmunotherapy treatment is also known as allergy shots. Minor exposure to the allergens causing a reaction will cause your immune system to become desensitized to that allergen over time. Over the counter allergy medications as well as prescription medications only treat the symptoms for the short term. Immunotherapy can lead to a significant decrease in common allergy symptoms over a longer period of time.\nWhy are There so Many More Allergy Sufferers Today Than in Past Generations?\nIn modern times, medical advances, vaccines, antibiotics, and disinfectants have played a role in protecting us from viruses that invade our immune systems. With a relatively clean environment, our bodies are no longer exposed to as many of the most common bacteria. When the body is exposed to bacteria, the balance stays in check. Modern life has disrupted the balance, and it is believed that one result is that people suffer from more allergies than occurred in previous generations.\nWhat are Common Allergy Symptoms?\nItchy watery eyes\nSniffling, sneezing and coughing\nHives, rashes\nWhat is the Best Method for Testing Allergies?\nSkin testing is the accurate way to determine your sensitivities to allergens such as pollen, mold, ragweed, dust mites and food allergies. Blood tests are another method that can reveal what allergens are affecting your health.\nWhen it comes to allergies in Los Angeles, allergy specialist Dr. Aminpour believes targeting the immune system with allergen immunotherapy is the most effective option. There are many medications on the market that target nasal congestion, a chronic runny nose, sneezing and other common symptoms. While these options can be helpful, they can only provide temporary relief and therefore do not get to the root of the problem. Allergen immunotherapy offers the best option for those who are looking for a lasting treatment.\nAnaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that must be treated immediately. Anaphylaxis is rare, but those who experience the reaction will need to take an epinephrine shot without delay. With proper treatment, the symptoms can be reversed within a few minutes. Sometimes the reaction is more severe and a second shot will need to be administered. This treatment may save a life.\nWhat is Rhinitis?\nSymptoms from nasal irritation or inflammation are commonly called rhinitis and include a runny and itchy nose, sneezing and possible stuffy nose due to congestion or a blockage. Rhinitis is also known as hay fever. Systems stemming from hay fever usually subside within a few weeks, but if they persist more than six weeks, the condition is called acute rhinitis. Rhinitis is linked to allergies. Some patients can have no symptoms and then have them during certain months or seasons of the year. The severity of symptoms may vary throughout the years.\nWhat are Allergy Medicines?\nThe most common allergy medicine is some form of antihistamine. Histamines are released by your body in response to an allergen, leading to the common symptoms including watery eyes, runny nose, and sneezing. Antihistamine medications reduce the symptoms by reducing or blocking the histamines to relieve symptoms \u2013 but do not resolve the allergy. For chronic allergy symptoms, visit with Dr. Aminpour for allergy testing and a more comprehensive treatment to address the actual cause of the condition.",

        "title": "Team Liability for Injury from Foul Ball \u2014 Lawsuit Information Center Blog \u2014 January 4, 2008",
        "raw_content": "Team Liability for Injury from Foul Ball\nThe San Diego Union-Tribune reported yesterday on a case pending in the Nevada Supreme Court which may have a major impact on the extent to which stadium owners can be held liable when fans are injured during sporting events.\nThe Turner Case\nFive years ago, plaintiff Kathleen Turner (not the actress) was struck by a foul ball while she was sitting in a mezzanine seating area at Les Vegas\u2019 Cashman Stadium. Turner\u2019s attorney claims that the beer garden area, where fans can not see the baseball game being played on the field below, created a false sense of security for the spectators. Ms. Turner was struck in the face by a foul ball and lost consciousness. She suffered a broken nose and had to undergo reconstructive surgery.\nThe trial judge found that the Defendant did not breach any duty of care to Plaintiffs to protect them from harm. The court further found there was no duty in this case for Defendant to protect Plaintiff Kathleen Turner from the foul ball. Moreover, the trial court found that even if there were any such duty, the foul ball is a known and obvious risk. Plaintiff appealed.\nThomas Dillard, the lawyer representing the park\u2019s owner, argues that this case involves an implied assumption of risk. He states that although Ms. Turner could not see the game, she was repeatedly made aware of the risk of stray balls in the stadium. The stadium posts warning signs at the entrance to the park, screens, and plexiglass are installed in certain areas to protect fans, every ticket bears a notice of liability, and there are even warnings issued over the park\u2019s public address system. He failed to add that common sense also tells you of the risk of a foul ball when you go to a baseball game.\nThe Nevada Supreme Court will decide whether or not implied assumption of risk can be applied to Ms. Turner\u2019s case, and in doing so, Nevada may become one of the many states that abide by the \u201cbaseball rule.\u201d\nThe article seems to think the ruling is relevant to whether major league baseball comes to Nevada. I think that overstates the economics of the outcome of this case. This issue of baseball in Nevada involves one thing: gambling.\nMy Hypothetical\nGenerally speaking, fans are presumed to have assumed the risk of getting hit by a baseball at a baseball game. In the Sports Law class that I teach, I argue that the best scenario for a plaintiff\u2019s verdict would be if you came to the game and specifically requested a ticket safe from a potential foul ball and you still get hit by one. Like many of my best law school hypotheticals, this has probably never happened and could never be proved even if it did.\nUpdate: Plaintiff lost her case in a 4-3 decision. Nevada adopted the \u201climited duty\u201d rule, finding that a stadium obligation to protect fans is satisfied by sufficient protected seating for those fans that are in the usual line of foul ball fire.\nLittle League Foul Balls\nThere are foul ball cases in Little League cases that are viable claims. Sometimes, there is a lack of protective fencing that was necessary to protect the safety of game participants or the fans. If there is no fencing or, more commonly, gaps in fencing, this can be a source of liability claims.\nFoul balls are an unavoidable part of baseball. Fans go to games specifically to catch foul balls and their access to foul balls is an undeniable part of the game. See, e.g., Rudnick v. Golden West Broadcasters, 156 Cal.App.3d 793, 802, 202 Cal.Rptr. 900, 909 (Cal. App. 1984) (\u201cThe chance to apprehend a misdirected baseball is as much a part of the game as the seventh inning stretch or peanuts and Cracker Jack\u201d). So I get the ruling.\nBut looking through a different lens, who should pay for this loss? The innocent stadium owner or the innocent woman? I think some sort of strict liability rule might make sense in these cases.\nPosted in: Nevada",

The ruthless gang of highwaymen terrorized the road, stealing from stage coaches, freight caravans, and especially from the ore wagons hauling the gold shipments. During these violent crimes, nearly 100 people were killed.\nBannock, Montana Gallows\nFinally, a group of men calling themselves the Vigilante Committee formed in nearby Virginia City to take matters into their own hands. At one point the vigilantes assembled a force of over 500 men and sealed off Virginia City in order to catch gang members. Between December 1863 and February 1864 the vigilante committee executed 23 alleged members of the gang. Henry Plummer was hanged on January 10, 1864 on the gallows that he had built earlier for another case. Over 5,000 people assembled to watch the hangings of the gang members.\nThe last man hanged by the vigilantes may have done nothing more than express an opinion that several of those hanged previously had been innocent. Today,\nthe accuracy of Henry Plummer\u2019s guilt has been challenged, with many believing that the crimes were in fact committed by the Vigilante Committee, themselves, and that Plummer and the \u201cInnocents\u201d were in fact killed to cover their own crimes.\nOld West Vigilantes",

        "raw_content": "Texas Energy Museum Lobby. Photo by Dave Alexander, January 2017.\nWhen you think Texas, Oil exploration is top of mind, and there is no better example of the rich history in crude than in Beaumont. The Texas Energy Museum opened in 1990 in the downtown district, and today explores the history, various equipment used, and companies associated with the Texas Oil Boom of the early 1900\u2019s.Exhibits and videos walk you through the timeline of Texas Oil, and explain how the various products are gathered from the area\u2019s many Oil Refineries. Explore the fascinating world of petroleum science & technology from the geological formation of oil to modern refining chemistry.\nYou\u2019ll really enjoy the animated exhibits with talking characters, including Patillo Higgins and Captain Anthony F. Lucas, and their roles in the nations first big oil gusher at Spindletop, the Lucas Gusher. The characters tell the tale of how Higgins was mocked for insisting large amounts of Oil were just waiting to be found here, and how Lucas prevailed in finding it.\nThe Spindletop find in 1901 ushered in a huge migration as thousands came to work the fields and strike it rich. In 1900, the population of Beaumont was 8,500. Within 30 days of the Lucas Gusher, the population boomed to 30,000.\nTalking robot exhibits at the Texas Energy Museum.\nThe boom would also leave a lasting impact on the U.S., bringing in the nations industrial age and spawning some of the most successful oil companies, including petrochemical giants Guffey Petroleum Co. (Gulf, now Chevron), the Texas Co. (now Texaco/Star Enterprises), Standard Oil (Exxon) and Magnolia Petroleum Co. (Mobil), which has merged into Exxon\u2011Mobil. The museum features exhibits of these companies past glories, and provides a visual peek at what has made the Lone Start State so critical to our nation.\nAlthough drilling for oil had already started transforming America in other states by the late 1800\u2019s, there\u2019s no doubt that the boom around Beaumont and Texas as a whole, played a major role in making our Nation a super power.\nDesigned to thrill, educate and enlighten all ages, this is the definitive exhibit of the Texas oil industry, tracing the impact of the oil discovery in 1901, the present and into the future.\nFor more information, including student tours, research material and more, see:\nMobil Pegasus at the Texas Energy Museum.

Despite of the meager salaries they are receiving, they remain committed to their profession.\u201d\nShe continued, \u201cWe value teachers and education workers, because whether rain or shine they brave the storm and remain in the classroom imparting knowledge to our children. We value teachers and education workers, because even in the absence of recognition, they are there sacrificing for the sake of future generations.\u201d\nMrs. Nyumah said they have observed that teachers all around the world are seen as very important people, but regrettably, teachers\u2019 plights are the least regarded in the development agenda of many societies.\n\u201cIt is important to note that both male and female teachers and administrators need to unite and be aware of each other\u2019s plights and responsibilities so that mutual respect can exist,\u201d he urged.\nIt therefore becomes necessary as a member of the United Nations (UN) and full-fledged member of the Education International with over 30 million members, that Liberia observes this day, like other teachers organizations, to awaken the spirit and raise the aspiration of hard working teachers in Liberia.\nShe expressed NTAL\u2019s gratitude to the government and international partners, especially the Education International (EI) and its affiliate members for their continued support to NTAL and the education system of Liberia.\nMeanwhile, she called on all members of NTAL, including teachers and education workers to return to the classroom while negotiation on their plights continues with the government through the National Christian Council of Liberia.\nPrevious articleNAYMOTE to Host Dialogue on Monday\nNext articleFinance Minister Kamara and CBL Governor Weeks Must Help End ASAP the Marginalization of Liberians in Business",

        "raw_content": "Home News Media Keeping Power in Check: Media, Justice and The Rule of Law\nMessage from the West African Journalists Association\nBy Peter Quaqua, President, WAJA\nAs we observe yet another of Word Press Freedom Day, The West Africa African journalists Association (WAJA), salutes the courage and resilience of all journalists who have remained true to their callings in service to humanity.\nDespite the overwhelming consciousness created for press freedom by regional and international organizations, journalists and media workers continuous to be subjected to all forms of harassment, torture, attack and sometimes imprisonment and death in the performance of their jobs.\nThe sacrifices we journalists make are well documented because we are the real guarantors of democracy, freedom and justice; that is why we are celebrated on May 3 every year around the world.\nThe theme for the 25th anniversary of the Windhoek declaration \u201cKeeping Power in Check: Media, Justice and The Rule of Law\u201d is perhaps the most important subject in present day advocacy for media rights especially in our part of the world.\nWe have increasingly seen political leaders manipulate legal systems to further inhibit the press in the name of the rule of law. Court rooms have been effectively turned into weapons of repression as opposed to being chambers of justice. They use repressive libel laws to throw journalists in jail for exposing the excesses they commit against the people they vowed to protect. We must stand up to them.\nWe called your attention to recent ruling by the ECOWAS Court against the Gambia government\u2019s use of criminal libel laws to convict four journalists. Essentially, this provides some hope for redress and countries should ECOWAS member states take note. The Court outlawed the action against the journalists who had been arrested, detained and tortured for doing their work.\nOur hope is that our political leaders will respect the commitments they\u2019ve made to regional and international protocols by adapting their laws to international standards.\nWe challenge our respective governments in WAJA countries to see reasons to reform media laws and enable the legal environment for press freedom and freedom of expression. We must insist on an independent judiciary that works for all citizens, not only journalists. This way, our democracy is protected and justice assured.\nAdditionally, governments must spare no efforts in bringing to justice people who deliberately kill journalists to demonstrate their commitment to press freedom and fight against impunity.\nLet\u2019s work together to abolish criminal speech laws across West Africa. Let\u2019s restore confidence of our citizens in the legal and justice systems. Let\u2019s strengthen and sustain democracy across the sub-region by giving voice to all our people regardless of where they are. Important still, let\u2019s remain honest and ethical with the public trust.\nIn solidarity for press freedom, justice, democracy and the rule of law, we remain.\nPrevious articleNimley Ends BBL Regular Season, Hopeful of Better Performance in Playoffs\nNext articleOrange Girl",

        "raw_content": "So many people don\u2019t feel happy for many different reasons. Sometimes people know why, and sometimes they don\u2019t. Either way the Law of Attraction is responding to you and how you\u2019re feeling.\nOf course if something traumatic happens like a death in the family, or another upsetting event, that can trigger us spiraling down into unhappiness.\nSometimes we keep ourselves feeling unhappy by the story(ies) well tell ourselves about our lives. For example, someone can keep telling themselves that no one loves them; no one cares about them; everything is going wrong, etc. It really is true that when we tell ourselves a better story about something it does help in the moment.\nTHE GOOD NEWS ABOUT LAW OF ATTRACTION\nThe good news with all of this is that there is a way (several ways) to help ourselves out of feeling unhappy. You may think \u201cIf I\u2019m feeling unhappy that\u2019s just how it is!\u201d This is just another false story we may tell ourselves. It\u2019s very important we remember that when it comes to the Law of Attraction.\nOne way to start to feeling happier is to reach for a thought that\u2019s better than what we\u2019ve been thinking. Even just a little better puts us on the road towards happiness.\nYou may think that there is nothing better to think when you\u2019re feeling down. But I know for a fact there\u2019s always something better to think about from a Law of Attraction point of view. Some examples may be \u201cI don\u2019t feel happy now but I\u2019m so glad my dog/cat is here to keep me company.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t feel happy now but at least I have a comfortable bed to lay in.\u201d A little better thought by another little better thought is the way to do it. Eventually, with time and practice, we can think our way into a much better feeling place. Will it be easy? Maybe/maybe not, but it doesn\u2019t matter. If we want to help ourselves into a happier place what\u2019s the difference. Just the fact that we try is enough to get us there.\nSo next time you\u2019re feeling unhappy, or if you currently are, do your best to start reaching for thoughts that are better than what you\u2019ve been thinking. Then when you\u2019re ready, think of some better thoughts than those. Eventually you\u2019ll feel your way into a much happier place. Remember that with Law of Attraction like thoughts attract like thoughts, so it will get easier.\nFeeling happy will help you attract more thoughts and experiences that keep you feeling happy, it has to because it\u2019s the law!",

        "raw_content": "Catharsis and e. . .\nCatharsis and ecstasy\nTheater and dance are two of the major performing arts. And both have a deeper, more therapeutic and spiritual import that was first highlighted in the ancient texts of Bharat Muni\u2019s Natya Shastra and Aristotle\u2019s Poetics. Over centuries, as dance and drama developed, from court theater and fertility foot-tapping through convention-defying group theater and jazz to the subtleties of method-acting and contemporary dance, the two have flowered to encompass all complexities of human psychology.\nA unique double-interview with experts from both dance and theater sheds more light on how the two forms can help improve your life. While Indian theater guru Barry John discusses educative and psycho-therapeutic angles of theater with Gaurav Raina, ace choreographer Shiamak Davar speaks with Anupama Bhattacharya about how he uses dance as a form of therapy for channeling energies.\nWhat is unique to drama compared to other fine arts?\nTheater is a social endeavor. Fine arts, such as painting and sculpture, are solitary pursuits.Theater has more in common with sport\u2014it requires a collective team effort where each participant has an assigned role. It also represents a synthesis of other arts\u2014music, painting, writing and dance.\nWhat is theater\u2019s creative scope vis-a-vis cinema?\nFilms are a recent development. But theater is as old as civilization and is found in all cultures. In fact, the roots of drama are religious. It was a sacred part of the community, the entire belief system. Cinema is the result of a variety of deceptions\u2014technological and otherwise. There is a lot of earnest preparation and rehearsal in theater, with respect for detail. In a play you are able to visualize the entire story and thus pitch your performance. In cinema, the continuity is broken as scenes are not enacted in the same sequence as the script.\nHow does drama enrich human relationships?\nMost people, especially the young, enjoy theater because despite being practical and physical, it also involves emotions and feelings. Positive education in relationships is essential to enable people to handle responsibilities and understand others. Drama teaches a person to be sensitive to others, to be more refined in verbal communication. You learn to work with others and accept criticism.\nCan an actor keep himself apart from his character without diluting the intensity of identification?\nIdeally, an actor must be at least 10 per cent separate from his character to remain in touch with reality.\nIt is important to know where to draw the line because it is practically impossible to be completely submerged into the personality of your character. At the same time, it is an immensely deep learning experience to be somebody else. For example, Ben Kingsley went to great lengths to be Gandhi for Richard Attenborough\u2019s film. Even when he would stay overnight in a hotel during a shoot, he would remove all the furniture from the room, sleep on the floor, wear a dhoti and stick to a vegetarian diet. However, this method-acting approach can become disturbing when a negative character such as a murderer or a rapist has to be played. But even here, to be able to identify with the character and yet remain abstracted can be a challenging experience.\nCan theater help manage psychological problems?\nDefinitely. Theater as a form of therapy can be sheer magic. In psychodrama, for example, we encourage a distressed person to tell his story. The effect is extremely cathartic. Then, the person is made to act it out step by step and develop the courage to perform the reasons for his problems\u2014why he failed his exams or gave up his job. In the process, the person analyses his problem, and even directs others to act his part. When you see yourself being played by others, you can visualize yourself objectively.\nDo you recommend dramatics for schools?\nDrama makes us realize that we are not a uniform species. Solutions to problems are not necessarily right or wrong. Nothing in life is black and white. The performing arts appreciate the child\u2019s individuality. Drama is interested in you the person. It encourages you to be creative, to make your own choices. Theater is about empowerment, and it empowers you for life.\nCan theater educate and entertain at the same time?\nA good play teaches you how to live. Why do we gossip, listen to news, or watch jealous lovers? We all have an innate curiosity. Theater gives you a peep into other lives and can provide valuable moral instruction. Every minute of our life, we are acting. Consciously or unconsciously, we modify our language, attitudes, gestures and expressions depending on who we are dealing with. Actually, the only difference between everyday life and theater is that formal acting is public.Acting and direction require self-observation and observation of others. An actor needs to know what is happening inside him emotionally, and then be in control of it. This mastery can even be extended to daily life.\nHow did theater help develop your personality?\nI have always found it a privilege to be an actor. The work has incorporated almost all my interests. I usually designed my own plays and shifted from acting to set designing to direction and finally to training actors. I even ventured beyond theater and applied it to social work. Theater is a dynamic field. Every new play introduces you to a new self. There is complete transformation and an entirely new world of thinking and behaving opens up. Theater also helps you develop an insight into human nature. Yet, it never gets clinical. I am able to perceive people at another level. In a sense, the art of acting makes you a little clairvoyant.\nHow do you relate to your spiritual in clinations as a dancer?\nFor me, dancing is a way of life. I believe in God, the cosmic balance and balance of nature, astral energies. I also believe that life itself is a stage, a preparation for something better. But you can\u2019t do anything unless your body, mind and spirit are healthy. Which is where dance comes in. It is a great therapy.\nBut how does it heal?\nIt\u2019s not just dance. Whether you walk, run or swim, the most important thing is body as a release factor. If you are sad, tears come out, if you laugh, your stomach moves, when you are terrified, your body shakes. The mind has its external manifestations. If you have anything negative inside you, if you\u2019re feeling angry, jealous, sad, depressed\u2014the body reacts and you get headaches, body aches. So even if you are feeling down in the dumps, it helps to go out, cycle, jog, walk or dance. Today there is a lot of negativity in the air. The world is going through a major crisis and the energies are getting chaotic. Whatever positive energy each one of us can add counts. There are many things around us that don\u2019t fall into our limited framework of thought and preconceived notions. So we reject them outright. Once, I saw a UFO\u2026\nDifficult to believe, but it\u2019s true. That was in Bombay. But nobody would believe me when I talked about it. Everybody rejected it as a schoolboy\u2019s imagination. I believe in aliens. They are here to help earthlings. But we have to be prepared to receive them.\nCan dance be used for relaxation?\nAbsolutely. When you dance, two things happen. One is you learn an art form\u2014which is most important, since it provides an outlet to your creativity. The other thing is the fitness factor. Without fitness you cannot dance. Unless the body is in shape, you cannot have good coordination. Dancing gives you the freedom of movement.\nHow would you define your dance?\nI try to do a lot of things. I use jazz, chhau (an Indian tribal dance form), Sufi, modern, ballet, and I have my own style. It is basically an amalgamation of various positive steps. People know when they see my choreography that it is a Shiamak step. I\u2019m doing what I feel movement should look like.\nHow do dance forms affect us?\nAs far as I am concerned, dance is dance. It doesn\u2019t matter whether you move your head this way or that or shake a leg left or right. A hip movement is a hip movement. You can call it western, Indian or ballet. But if you are a good dancer, you will imbibe everything. See, an actor can\u2019t go on doing just happy roles. He also has to do a lot of sad roles to be a complete actor. And each of these roles hone your perception of the human psyche.\nBut there must be a difference somewhere\u2026\nIn jazz, the movement is outward flowing. In ballet it\u2019s more controlled energy and leg-oriented work. Jazz is absolutely free, you can release a lot of energies, just like in modern dance. Ballet is more orthodox, more stereotyped. In most classical dances, there is a lot of restriction: you cannot do this, you cannot do that. That teaches discipline. In my dance, there is freedom. I use a bit of kathak (an Indian dance form), a bit of modern dance and fuse them to create the best release factor.\nHow do you use dance as a release factor?\nThere are many unhappy people in the world, especially children. And if you don\u2019t give them guidelines from the beginning, they start having what you call the ripple effect. Children and teenagers have an immense store of energies which they often release into destructive channels such as drugs, sex and rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. The negativity they release in the process affects others who further release more negativity in the world. What we must do is help them properly channel their energies whilst they are still young and impressionable into an art form.\nShould schools incorporate dancing into their curriculum?\nDefinitely. Outside India, many schools are already using these techniques to channel energies. They teach music so children can understand maths. When you learn music, you learn adding, subtracting. When you make people do something they are interested in, then they are focused on it.\nDoes dancing help in your quest for the Self?\nIt is only when you experience pain that you understand the true meaning of happiness. To mould steel, you have to put it through fire. That\u2019s where the right channeling of energies comes in. Dancing hones your body, disciplines your mind and sharpens your aesthetic sense. Each one of us is born with a purpose. My mission is to help people through dance and I always try to fulfill that.",

R7 million has been put aside to finance the project.\nThe sports centre project was conceived after consultation with the local people, who raised a serious lack of sports facilities in their area.\nThe scope of work for the project includes the construction of multipurpose courts, a grassed soccer field with irrigation system, concrete palisade, guard room, changing rooms and ablution facilities and the drilling of a borehole.\nA happy local soccer player, Takalani Ndou, said that, upon completion, the project would help to improve the standard of sports and healthy lifestyles in the area. He says some of the young people in the village resorted to criminal activities because they had nothing to do after school. \u201cYoung people are always lingering up and down the streets because there is nothing that keeps them busy. We also believe that the number of young people who engage in drugs, alcohol abuse and criminal activities will be lowered after the completion of the project.\u201d\nMusina Municipality\u2019s communications manager, Mr Wilson Dzebu, says the municipality viewed recreational facilities in a very serious light. \u201cSport is very important - not only to children, but for adults as well. When you play sports, you meet so many people you probably wouldn't if you didn't play. Sport isn't only fun, it keeps you in shape too. You improve your agility, endurance, and overall strength.\u201d\nHe urged local community members to guard against any vandalism at the new facility. \u201cThe facility belongs to all community members and it is everyone\u2019s duty to make sure that it is safe at all times. If we handle it with care, its lifespan will be prolonged and this will also benefit the coming generation.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Elagh has foot in both camps and offers best of city and country\nLondonderry\u2019s Elaghvale Camping Park has a unique selling point - it\u2019s the only campsite in the city and attracting motor home owners, caravanners and campers from across the world.\nPaul Heaney and his wife Fidelma, avid motor home enthusiasts themselves, set up the tourist facility at Upper Galliagh Road in 2007 after spotting a niche in the market on their own doorstep.\nElaghvale is located on a working farm four miles from the city centre so visitors have the best of both worlds \u2013 a tranquil setting with the bright lights within easy reach.\nIt\u2019s perfectly positioned for tourists to discover Londonderry\u2019s rural hinterland in the scenic Faughan Valley with everything from adrenaline-fuelled outdoor activities to horse-riding, fishing, golf and country house tours.\nTourists from New Zealand, Australia, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK have all stayed at the fully serviced site, often on their first trip to Ireland.\nPaul said: \u201cWe have a motor home ourselves and as we travelled the continent we discovered there were no facilities here in Derry so we embarked on it ourselves on a pretty small scale to test the market. We discovered a small market there so we are endeavouring to facilitate it. Most of our visitors are from the continent.\n\u201cWe can cater for upwards of 20 motor homes, caravans or tents. We have full facilities - electricity, water, toilets, showers with family room being added shortly, kitchen with washing machine, a common room with book exchange service - and free wi-fi.\u201d\nElaghvale has the added attraction of being open all year round. \u201cWe get a lot of people travelling from New Zealand and Australia on tours for several months or years at a time and we get enquiries all year round,\u201d said Paul.\n\u201cPeople are fascinated by how close we are to the border; the hedge on the campsite is actually the border and people are fascinated by that. We had two guys from Liverpool staying in a tent who were asking if they needed a passport to travel into the Republic!\n\u201cPeople are always very surprised at how panoramic and tranquil the whole place is because they have read so much about the past and have discovered how good it is to come and see this part of the world.\n\u201cThey are totally fascinated by how normal the city is and how much it has to offer. They have to actually ask where was the border, what was it like and how much has it changed? People are genuinely interested in the stories we have to tell.\n\u201cNinety-five per cent of our trade is people staying for one to two days; in our experience, more people pass through the city than stop and that is a culture we need to change - getting people to extend their stay.\n\u201cFor some people it is the uncertainty of whether they think it is safe to stay if they have been reading about the history of the city, but it is very easy for them to make a decision to stay. The deciding factor is that there is somewhere to stay they feel confident about and is value for money. We are in a secure site four miles outside the city yet in a very rural setting which is very appealing.\u201d\nAs well as all the tourist attractions on offer in the city and its rural hinterland in the scenic Faughan Valley, 100 yards from Elaghvale Camping Park lies the ruins of an original O\u2019Doherty Fort, with its turret still visible.\nPaul said: \u201cThe site was excavated by archaeologists this year and they reckon there could be artefacts there dating as far back as the 1600s and the Spanish Armada. We own the ground above and it would be great to provide a walking trail from the campsite.\u201d\nThe owners of Elaghvale Camping Park are geared up for a busy tourist season and are already banking on a great summer next year when the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race docks in Derry for the third time, attracting thousands of visitors to the maritime festival hosted by Derry City and Strabane District Council.\n\u201cWe have just had a group of ten motor homes from France on tour and we have a group of 12 Italians booked for July. The fact that the North Coast and the Donegal coast are all on our doorstep, and it is quite central even for the west of Ireland, is an added bonus,\u201d said Paul.\nElaghvale Camping Park is one of 52 rural tourism providers supported by Derry City and Strabane District Council\u2019s Discover Faughan Valley project as part of its Rural Tourism Development Programme, part funded by Invest Northern Ireland and the European Regional Development Fund under the Sustainable Competitiveness Programme for Northern Ireland.\nFor further details about Elaghvale Camping Park, Tel: 07801 731815 or visit www.ukcampsite.co.uk and find out about the many visitor attractions in the Faughan Valley at www.discoverfaughanvalley.com",

So me and him are off to Lapland now on December 16. Lapland, the actual Lapland in Finland. It is a day trip organised by the Northern Ireland Children to Lapland Trust. We fly out in the morning.\nSanta sent him a letter and everything inviting him. It gives us something to look forward to and it takes your mind off everything else. It is only one day.\nIt is brilliant. It is a special trip they put on every year and it is for seriously ill and terminally ill children. The whole flight will be made up of sick children and it will be only us there on the day. They get to meet Santa and go on reindeer rides and husky pulled sleighs. It will be fantastic for him.\nIsabelle Douglas was the nurse who put him forward for it. It was really nice and it gives us something to look forward to, it takes your mind off everything.\u201d\nThe Limavady mum added: \u201cCallum is still oblivious to what is going on anyway and that is the way we want to keep it.\n\u201cThe burden is on us, not on him and that is the way we want to keep it.\u201d",

After a few years of clinical practice and acquiring higher qualifications (F.D.S. or M.F.D.S.) they apply to attend a three year full time orthodontic specialist training programme, which leads to the M.Orth.RCS. qualification.\nThis qualification entitles them to be included on the General Dental Council\u2019s orthodontic specialist list. A research project is also undertaken, leading to a MSc or M.Phil.(Orth) qualification.\nOnce qualified, orthodontists keep up-to-date with the latest techniques by attending regular courses and conferences as part of their Continuing Professional Development.\nThe GDC orthodontic specialist list includes:\nOrthodontic specialists with an M.Orth.RCS. qualification (or the older D.Orth. RCS).\nDentists who were \u201cGrandfathered\u201d.\nThose who received their orthodontic training in the EU member states, can automatically apply to be included on this list.\nYou can check the GDC website to see if the clinician providing orthodontics is a specialist.\nMore information about orthodontics from the American Association of Orthodontists\nBook an orthodontic appointment",

        "raw_content": "The Unfinished Autobiography CHAPTER III - Part 1\nIt is very difficult to write about the next few years or to know just how to handle the next phase in my life. Looking back, I am conscious of the fact that my sense of humour temporarily failed me, and when that happens to someone who can usually laugh at life and circumstances it is rather terrible. When I say \"humour\" I don't think I mean a sense of fun but an ability to laugh at oneself and events and circumstances as they are seen in relation to one's setting and equipment. I don't think I have a real sense of fun; I simply do not understand the \"Comics\" in the Sunday papers and I can never remember a joke; but I have a sense of humour and have absolutely no difficulty in making an audience\u2014large or small\u2014roar with laughter. I can always laugh at myself, too. But for the next few years of my life I found nothing amusing and my problem is how to cover this cycle without being either deadly dull, or presenting a woeful picture of a miserable woman. For that was what I was. I shall just have to get ahead and tell my story with its sorrows and pain and distress as best I can, asking you to be patient. It was just an interlude between twenty-eight happy years and another twenty-eight happy years\u2014years which are still going happily along.\nUp to 1907 I had had my troubles and worries but they were basically superficial. I was doing work that I loved and I was successful at it. I was surrounded by people who liked and appreciated me and, as far as I know, I had had absolutely no problems between myself and my co-workers. I did not know what it was to want financially for anything. I could travel where I wished in India and go back to Great Britain when I wanted without a single [101] thought. I really had had no personal difficulties to face.\nBut we now come to a cycle of seven years in my life during which I knew nothing but trouble that left no part of my nature unaffected. I was entering a period of great mental distress; I was to be faced with situations that exacted the last atom of emotional reaction of which I am capable and, physically, life became exceedingly hard. I believe these periods are necessary in the lives of all active disciples. They are hard to take but as they are, I am firmly convinced, entered into with the full knowledge and determination of the soul, the strength to master circumstance is inevitably present. The result then is always (in my case and in the case of all who endeavour to work spiritually) a greater capacity to meet human need, and to be \"a strong hand in the dark\" to other fellow pilgrims. I have stood by one of my daughters as she went through a terrible experience, and I watched her\u2014as a result of five years patient endurance\u2014come through to a measure of usefulness that would otherwise be impossible, and she is still young, with a useful and constructive future ahead of her. I could not have done this had I not been through the fire myself.\nWhen the six months on my back were over, arrangements were made for my marriage. What little money I had was legally arranged in a trust that Walter Evans could not touch, had he wanted to. \"Aunt Alice\" sent him the money to outfit himself and come to Scotland to fetch me. I was then living with my aunt, Mrs. Maxwell, of Castramont. I was married in a private chapel of a friend's house by a Mr. Boyd-Carpenter. My father's eldest brother, William La Trobe-Bateman (also a clergyman) gave me away.\nI went immediately after the wedding to stop with Walter Evans' people in the north of England. A connection [102] of mine by marriage who was at the wedding and who is related to half of England took me aside when I said good bye and said, \"Now, Alice, you've married this man and you are going from here to visit his people. You will not find that they are your people and it will be your duty to make them feel that you believe they are. For Heaven's sake, don't be a snob.\" With these words, she ushered me into a period of my life in which I left caste and social position behind and suddenly discovered humanity.\nI am not one of the people who believe that only the proletarian are good and right and that the middle classes are the salt of the earth, whilst the aristocracy are absolutely useless and should be gotten rid of. Neither do I accept the position that only the intelligentsia can save the world, though that is a sounder position because the intelligentsia can come out of all classes. I have met frightful snobs from the so-called lower classes. I've met them, also, of an equally virulent kind among the aristocracy. The prudery and the conservatism of the middle classes is a great balancing force in any nation. The push and the rebellion of the lower classes promotes the growth of a people, whilst the tradition, culture and noblesse oblige of the aristocracy is a great asset to the nation that possesses it. All these factors have a right and sound usefulness but all can be equally well misused. Conservatism can be dangerously reactionary; a right rebellion can turn into a fanatical revolution, and a sense of responsibility and superiority frequently evidenced by the \"upper classes\" can degenerate into a stupifying paternalism. There is no nation without its class distinctions. There may be an aristocracy of birth in Great Britain but in the United States there is an aristocracy of money equally as distinctive, exclusive, and rigid in its barriers. Who shall settle the quarrel, which is best [103] or which worst? I had been brought up in a very rigid caste system and nothing in my life had tended to throw me on equal terms with those not of my own caste. I had yet to discover that behind all the class distinctions of the Occident and the caste systems of the Orient there is a great entity which we called Humanity.\nAnyway, with my beautiful clothes, my lovely jewelry, my cultured voice and my social manner, I launched myself unthinkingly and without any appreciation of the situation into Walter Evans' family. Even the old family servants were distrustful of the situation. The old coachman, Potter, drove Walter Evans and me to the station after the wedding. I can see him now in his livery, with a cockade in his hat. He had known me ever since I was a little bit of a girl and when we got to the station, he got down and took my hand and said, \"Miss Alice, I don't like him and I don't like to say this to you, but if he doesn't treat you right\u2014you come right back to us. Just drop me a line and I'll meet you at the station.\" Then he drove off without another word. The station master of the little Scotch station had reserved a carriage for us as far as Carlisle. As he put me into the carriage he looked me in the eye and said, \"He isn't what I would have chosen for you, Miss Alice, but I hope you will be happy.\" None of this left the slightest impression on me. I have an idea now that I left behind me a group of very worried relatives, friends and servants. But I was quite oblivious of it then. I had done what I believed to be right and done it at a sacrifice and was now reaping my reward. The past lay behind me. My work with the soldiers was finished. Ahead of me lay a wonderful future with the man I thought I adored, in a new and wonderful land, for we were on our way to America.\nBefore going to Liverpool we stopped with my husband's people and I never put in a more dreadful time. They [104] were nice, kind, good and worthy, but I had never before eaten with people of that calibre, or slept in a house of that kind, or eaten my meals in a \"parlour\" or lived in a house with no servants. I was terrified of them and they were more terrified of me, though kind of proud that Walter had done so well for himself. In justice to Walter Evans, I think that I should say that after we had separated and he had gone to one of our great universities for a post-graduate course, I received a letter from the president of the university begging me to return to Walter. He pleaded with me (as a very old and experienced man) to go back to my husband because, he stated, never in the course of his long experience with thousands of young men had he met a man as gifted\u2014spiritually, physically and mentally\u2014as Walter Evans. It was not surprising, therefore, that I had fallen in love and married him. All the indications were good except his social setting and lack of money, but as I was going to America to live and as he was shortly to be ordained in the Episcopal Church that did not seem to matter. We could manage on his stipend and my small income.\nWe went straight from England to Cincinnati, Ohio, where my husband was studying at the Lane Theological Seminary. I immediately set in and took his various courses with him, whilst the money which I had supported both of us and paid all expenses. I found when it came down to the details of married life that I had absolutely nothing in common with my husband, except on religious views. He knew nothing really of my background and I knew less of his. We both tried at this time to make a success of our marriage, but it was a failure. I think I would have died of misery and despair had it not been for the coloured woman who ran the boarding-house, connected with the seminary, on the top floor of which we had one room. Her name was Mrs. Snyder and she adopted me on sight. She nursed me [105] and petted me and took care of me; she scolded me and she fought for me and, for some reason, she hated the sight of Walter Evans and took pleasure in telling him so. She saw to it that I had the best that it was in her power to provide. I loved her and she was my one confidante.\nIt was then, for the first time in my life, I came up against the racial problem. I had no anti-Negro feeling, except that I did not believe in marriage between the coloured races and the white for it never seemed to work for happiness on either side. I was appalled to discover that under the American constitution we stood for equality for all men but that (through the poll tax and poor education) we most carefully saw to it that the Negro was not equal. Things are better in the North than in the South but the Negro problem is one that the American people will have to solve. The Constitution has already solved it for them. I remember at Lane Theological Seminary a Negro professor, a Doctor Franklin, had been invited to give the alumni address. After we came out of the chapel, I was standing with my husband and a couple of professors talking about the beautiful address we had had when Dr. Franklin passed by. One of the professors stopped him and handed him money to go and buy his lunch. He was not even good enough to eat with all the rest of us, though he could speak to us on the spiritual values. I was so horrified that, with my usual impetuosity, I rushed off to a professor and his wife whom I knew and told them about it. They immediately came back with me and took Dr. Franklin to their own home for lunch. The discovery of the anti-Negro feeling was like discovering an open door into the great house of humanity. Here was a whole section of my fellowmen who were being refused the rights of the Constitution under which they had been born.\nSince then I have thought and read and talked about this [106] problem of the minorities. I have many Negro friends and I think I may claim that we understand each other. I have found Negroes as cultural and as fastidious and as sound in their thinking as many of my white friends. I have discussed the problem with them and I know that all they ask is equality of opportunity, of education, of work and living conditions. I have never met one who was demanding social equality, though the time is coming when they must and will have it. I have found that the attitude of the cultured and educated Negro towards the undeveloped members of their race is reasonable and sound, and as a prominent Negro lawyer said to me once: \"Most of us are children, particularly in the South, and need loving and developing like children.\"\nA few years ago in London I had a letter from a scientist, a Dr. Just, asking me if I would grant him an interview as he had read some things I had written and wished to talk to me. I invited him to lunch at my club and when he arrived I found he was a Negro and a very black Negro at that. He was a charming and interesting gentleman and was on his way back to Washington after lecturing at Berlin University. He was one of the leading biologists of the world. My husband and I took him down to our house in Tunbridge Wells for a couple of nights and we greatly enjoyed his visit. One of my daughters asked him if he was married. I well remember his turning to her and saying: \"My dear young lady, I would never dream of asking a girl of your race to marry me and to suffer the inevitable ostracism, and I have not yet met a girl of my own race who could give me the mental companionship I wanted. No, I have never married.\" He has since died and I regret it much; I had hoped for a closer friendship with a very fine man.\nIncreasingly, during my thirty-six years' residence in this [107] country, I have been shocked, amazed and frightened by the attitude of many Americans to their fellow-Americans, the Negro minority. The problem will have to be solved and room made for the Negro in the national life. They cannot be kept down, nor should they be. It is up to them to prove themselves all that they claim to be and it is up to all of us to see that they do, and that the abominable utterances and the poisonous hatred of such a man as Senator Bilbo are stilled, and there are a number such as he. Again I re-state my belief that the problem cannot be solved today (I make no prophecy about the future) by intermarriage. It must be solved by fearless justice, the recognition of the fact that all men are brothers and that if the Negro is a problem it is our fault. If he is uneducated and not properly trained in the technique of citizenship it is again our fault. It is time that prominent white men and congressmen in both Houses and parties left off yelling for democracy and free elections in the Balkans and elsewhere and applied the same principles to their own Southern States. Forgive this tirade, but I feel strongly on the matter, as you see.\nThis coloured woman, Mrs. Snyder, mothered me for months and looked after me until my eldest girl was born, sending for her own doctor, who was not coloured but not a particularly good doctor, so I did not get the skilled care I should have had. That was not her fault as she did her best to see me through. I have been curiously unlucky when my three children were born, and only once had a hospital nurse with me. Anyway, when my first child was born I had inexpert care. Walter Evans went into hysterics all the time, demanding most of the attention of the doctor, but Mrs. Snyder was like a tower of strength and I shall never forget her. Later the doctor sent in a practical nurse but she was so incompetent that I suffered severely at her [108] hands and went through three months of great discomfort and agony.\nWe then moved from the seminary to other living quarters. We took a small apartment where, for the first time, I was left alone with a small baby and all the housework to do. Up to that time I had never washed a pocket handkerchief, boiled an egg or made a cup of tea, and was a completely incompetent young woman. My experience in learning to do things was such that I have seen to it that the three girls know all there is to know about housekeeping. They are entirely competent. I'm quite sure it was not an easy time for Walter Evans and it was then that I began to discover\u2014living alone with him where we could not be overheard\u2014that he was developing an appalling temper.\nMy Waterloo was the weekly washing. I used to go down to the basement, which was fitted with the usual stationary tubs, and do the washing. I had brought all my own baby clothes with me, of very great beauty, yards long, beautiful flannels, real lace insertion, almost priceless\u2014a dozen of everything and what I did to those clothes was a sorrow and a pain. When I was through washing them, they looked most peculiar. One morning, I heard a knock on my door and on opening it I found a woman who lived in the flat below me. She looked at me with distress and said, \"See here, Mrs. Evans, it's Monday morning and I can't stand it any longer. I'm an English servant and you are an English lady and I've got sense enough to know it. There are things I know and things you don't, and you're coming down with me every Monday morning until I say you needn't and I'll teach you how to launder clothes.\" She said it as if she had learnt it off by heart and she was as good as her word. Today there is nothing about laundry work that I don't know and I owe it all to Mrs. Schubert. Here is another instance of somebody for whom I had [109] done nothing but who was just straight human and kind and I got another peek into the house of humanity. She and I became real friends and she used to champion me when Walter Evans was in a rage. Time and again I have taken refuge in her small apartment. I wonder whether she and Mrs. Snyder are alive. I fancy not; they would be too old.\nWhen Dorothy was about six months old I went back to Great Britain to see my people, leaving my husband to finish his theological training and get ordained. This was my last visit to England for twenty years, and I have no particularly happy recollections of it. I could not tell them I was not happy and had made a mistake. My pride would not let me, but they undoubtedly guessed it though they asked no questions. My sister was married whilst I was there to my cousin, Laurence Parsons. We had the usual family gathering at an uncle's house. I only stayed a few months in England and then went back to America. In the meantime my husband had graduated from the seminary, been ordained and been given a charge under the Bishop of San Joaquin in California. This turned out to be a wonderful thing for me, for the Bishop and his wife became my true friends. I still hear from her. My youngest daughter is named after her and she is one of the people whom I dearly love, but I will tell you more about her later.\nI came back to the States on a small boat which docked in Boston. It was quite the most awful voyage I ever took\u2014a small, dirty boat, four in a cabin, and meals at long tables where the men kept their hats on. I recollect it as a nightmare. But, like all bad things, it ended and we arrived at Boston in the pouring rain and I was quite desperate. I had a bad headache; my dressing-case with all its massive silver fittings which had been my mother's had been stolen and Dorothy, being about a year old, was very heavy to carry. I was travelling on a Cook's Tourist ticket [110] and their agent was on board. He took me to the railroad station where I had to wait till midnight and after telling me what I ought to know and giving me a cup of strong coffee he left me. Wearily I sat all day in the station, trying to keep a restless baby quiet. As the time for the train arrived I wondered how I was to manage when suddenly I looked up and saw Cook's Agent, out of uniform, standing beside me. \"You worried me this morning and all day,\" he said, \"and I decided I had better put you on the train myself.\" Whereupon he took the baby, called a porter and established me as comfortably as possible on the train for California. The tourist sleepers in those days were not as comfortable as they are today. Again I received kindness which I did not deserve from some one for whom I had done nothing. Please do not think I am implying that there was something so charming and nice about me that people naturally helped me. I have an idea that I was not a bit charming. I was rather \"'igh and 'aughty,\" very reticent, almost to the point of dumbness, and frightfully British. No, it was not that but simply that average human beings are kindly inside and like to help. Don't forget that the proving of that is one of my purposes in writing. I am not manufacturing instances but relating factual happenings.\nMy husband was, first of all, rector of a little church in R\u2014- and it was there that I learned the duties of a clergyman's wife, the endless calls upon her time. I was introduced to the strictly feminine aspect of congregations. I had to attend the Ladies' Aid. I had to hold Mothers' Meetings and I always had to go to church and, ceaselessly and endlessly, I had to listen to Walter's sermons. Like all ministers and their families in those missionary districts, we lived largely on chicken and I learnt [111] why the chicken is a holy fowl\u2014because so many of them enter the ministry.\nThis period marked another phase in the expansion of my consciousness. I had never in my whole life come across a community like this little town. There were only about fifteen hundred people in the place, but there were eleven churches, each of them with the tiniest congregation. Among the out-lying ranchers were men and women who were cultured and had travelled and read and I sometimes met them. But the bulk of the people were small trades people, people connected with the railroad, plumbers, workers in the vineyards or the fruit orchards and school-teachers. The rectory was a small, six-room bungalow between two larger houses, one of which housed twelve children and their parents and I lived in a constant riot of children's voices. The little town was typical\u2014shops with false fronts, hitching posts where surreys and buggies tied up (for automobiles were still a scarcity) and the village post-office from which all the gossip and talk emanated. The climate is really lovely, though very hot and dry in the summer. However, I felt completely isolated, culturally and mentally and spiritually. It seemed to me that there was no one for me to talk to. No one had seen anything or read anything and their sole topic of conversation seemed to rotate around children, crops, food and local gossip. For months I stuck my snooty little nose up in the air and decided there was nobody good enough for me to associate with. Of course, I did my duty as the rector's wife and I am sure I was very nice and kind, but always I felt a barrier. I did not want to have much to do with the parishioners and I let them know it.\nI started a Bible class, however, and that was a huge success. Numerically it outnumbered my husband's Sunday morning congregation, which may have added to the trouble [112] which was steadily growing worse. Members of all the different churches, except the Catholic, attended and it was the one bright spot in the week, partly I think because it linked me with the past.\nMy husband's temper was getting out of all bounds and I lived in a constant terror that the members of the congregation would discover it, and that he would lose his post. As a clergyman, he was greatly liked and was an impressive figure in his surplice and stole. He was a very good preacher. I honestly do not think I was too much to blame. I still ran my life on the aphorism \"What would Jesus have me do?\" I was not a cross person or quick on the trigger but I expect my silence and attempted patience was aggravating. Nothing, however, that I could manage to do would please him and after destroying all photographs and books which he thought I might value, he had taken to knocking me about, though he never touched Dorothy. He was always lovely to children.\nMy daughter Mildred was born in August 1912 and it was then I really woke up to the astounding fact that it was not the people of the place who were wrong but that it was I. I had been so occupied with the problems of Alice La Trobe-Bateman, who had made what seemed to be an unfortunate marriage, that I had forgotten to be Alice Evans, a human being. When Mildred was born I was very ill and it was then that I discovered the people of this little town. Mildred was ten days overdue; the temperature was 112 degrees on my porch; the twelve children next door were terribly noisy; I had been very ill for days; and then the cesspool fell in. I pictured Dorothy, who was then two and a half, trotting about and falling into the cesspool. Walter was no help. He just disappeared about his parochial duties. I had a good little Jewish nurse who was getting frightened about me and kept phoning [113] for the doctor who delayed coming. The door suddenly opened and, without knocking, the saloon keeper's wife walked in. She gave me one look and then strode over to the telephone and from house to house chased the doctor until she caught him and ordered him to come at once. She then tucked Dorothy under her arm, nodded to me, assured me that Dorothy would be quite all right with her and disappeared. I did not see Dorothy for three days. I did not much care; I was far too ill. Mildred was an instrument baby and I had two serious hemorrhages. Thanks to good nursing I pulled through. Word had gone around as to my predicament and so many good things were sent in and so many kind things were done that I remain eternally grateful. Custards, pie, port wine, fresh fruit poured in. Women turned up in the morning to do my washing, to dust, to sweep, to sit with me and to sew and mend. They relieved the nurse in looking after me. They invited my husband to their homes so he was not under foot, and I suddenly woke up to the fact that the world was full of lovely people and that I had been blind all my life. I had moved further into the house of humanity.\nIt was at this time, however, that the real trouble started. People began to find out what Walter Evans really was. I was up on the ninth day after Mildred's birth, without any nurse or help of any kind. The church warden's wife discovered me that day, to her horror, doing the washing, and knowing that I had nearly died ten days before, she sought out Walter Evans and read him the riot act. It did not do any good but it made her suspicious and she began to watch me more closely and to befriend me still more. His tempers were assuming serious proportions but the curious thing about him was that (beyond a savage, ungovernable temper) he had no vices of any kind whatsoever. He never drank; he never swore; he never gambled. [114] I was the only woman in whom he was ever interested and the only woman he had ever kissed, and I believe this held true until he died a few years ago. In spite of all this, he was quite impossible to live with and eventually it became dangerous to be in the same house with him. The church warden's wife came in one day and found my face badly bruised. I was so ill and tired and she was so kind and good that I admitted to her that my husband had thrown a pound of cheese at me and that it had hit me full in the face. She went back home and shortly the Bishop came down. I wish I could convey in these pages the kindness, goodness and understanding of Bishop Sanford. The first time I had met him he had come down for a confirmation. I had served supper and was in the kitchen washing dishes afterwards. Suddenly, I heard someone drying the dishes behind me and for a moment I did not turn around, thinking that it was just one of the church women. To my amazement I discovered it was the Bishop and this act was just like him. Much discussion and talk followed and eventually Walter was offered another opportunity to make good. We moved immediately to another parish. This greatly pleased me because the rectory was much nicer. It was a larger community and I was closer to Ellison Sanford, one of the loveliest people and truest friends I have ever had.\nMy general health got better and, in spite of the constant outbursts of fury, life was beginning to take on a little bit more color. I was closer to the city in which the Bishop and his wife lived and saw more of them. I found more people in the parish who talked my language, but it was a bad time in many ways and in the late fall I began to be ill again. My youngest girl, Ellison, was due in January and in one of his fits of temper my husband threw me down the stairs with, it turned out, a bad effect upon the child. She was very delicate after birth, being what is [115] colloquially called \"a blue baby\" with a leaking heart valve, and for years it was never believed that I could raise her. But I did and she is now quite the strongest of the three girls.\nAfter this things went from bad to worse. Everybody knew that things were all wrong at the rectory and everybody did what they could to be helpful. A very nice girl offered to come and live with me as a paying guest in order that I might have someone in the home but in due time she got scared though she stayed with me right through. The field next the rectory was constantly ploughed, day after day, and when (from curiosity) I asked a man who was ploughing it why it was being done so constantly, he told me that a group of men had decided that I ought to have somebody within call so they took turns in ploughing the field. The girls at the telephone exchange discovered the situation and made a practice of calling me up at intervals to find out if I was all right. The doctor who had taken care of me when Ellison was born was very greatly concerned and made me promise every night to hide the carving-knife and axe under my mattress. The feeling was getting abroad that Walter Evans was not sane. I remember one night waking up and hearing a man go rapidly out of my room and down stairs. It was just the doctor who had looked in to see if I was all right. So again, you will see kindness surrounded me. I was, however, deeply humiliated and my pride was very sorely wounded.\nOne morning a friend called me up and asked me to bring the three children over for the day, saying that she would fetch me. I went and we all had a very good time. When I got back, however, I found Walter Evans had been sent to San Francisco and put under observation by a physician and psychiatrist there in order to find out whether he was mentally right or not. Fortunately for me, the doctor [116] decided he was bad and not mad and that he was suffering from nothing worse than a completely uncontrolled temper. In the meantime, Ellison had been taken frightfully ill with \"cholera infantum\" and no hope was held out for her recovery. I remember so well a blazing hot summer's day, during that dreadful time. Ellison was lying dangerously ill on a quilt on the floor whilst the other two children were playing in a neighbor's yard. My doctor drove up and came into the house with a baby in his arms, followed by a tall, pretty woman looking fit to be in a hospital. He said he had brought the baby for me to care for and would I put the mother to bed and take care of her too? Of course I did, and for three days I had two sick babies on my hands and a sick woman\u2014too sick, ill and depressed to be able to care for her child. I did all I could, but the baby died in my arms. Nothing could save her, and she had expert skill on the doctor's part and I am a good nurse. That doctor was a wise man; he knew that I had all I could handle in my own home situation but needed to learn that I was not alone in trouble, that other people had as bad troubles as I, and that I was capable of a much greater expenditure of energy than I believed. The wisdom and profound psychological knowledge of the small town general practitioner is to me completely amazing. They know people; they live lives of sacrifice; they are skilled from vast experience; they handle emergencies swiftly and adequately, for they have no one to rely on but themselves. Personally, I am deeply indebted to the doctors\u2014in cities and villages\u2014who have been my friends as well as my physicians.\nI was advised to take Ellison after this up to San Francisco to the Children's Hospital and see if something could be done. Ellison Sanford took the two other children, in spite of the fact she had four of her own, and I went north [117] with the baby. The doctors at the hospital told me that she could not possibly live, and there I had to leave her and go back to look after the other two children. I will not enlarge upon the difficulty of that episode. Those who have children will understand. I never expected to see her again, but miraculously, she did recover and was brought back to me by her father who had also been dismissed from observation with a clean bill of health. There is nothing humorous in any of this, is there? and I don't feel hilarious talking about it.\nA most peculiar and difficult year now confronted us. It was impossible for the Bishop to give Walter Evans a charge. The only funds we had were largely exhausted, and my very small income, owing to the world war, was now but a trickle of money. When Walter had gone to San Francisco I was left with three children and lots of bills. He had no sense of money; cash that I might give him, or that was part of his stipend to be spent on current bills, would be spent by him on non-essential luxuries. He would leave the home to pay the monthly grocer's bill and return with a gramophone.\nI shall never forget as long as I live the extraordinary kindness of the man who owned the grocery store in the little town where I was living and where Walter Evans had his last charge in the San Joaquin diocese. We owed a couple of hundred dollars on our grocery bill, though I was quite unaware of the fact. Word, of course, had gone around the village of everything that had happened. The morning after my husband had been sent away to San Francisco, the telephone rang and it was the grocery store. The owner was a Jew and a very ordinary looking Jew. I had never done anything for him except be courteous and, being British, had made it evident that I had no anti-Jew feeling. There has never been any anti-Semitic attitude in Great [118] Britain, particularly in my youth there. Some of our greatest men have been Jews, such as Lord Reading, Viceroy of India, and others. This man asked me over the phone for my order. I asked him how much we owed him and he said, \"Over two hundred dollars\" but that he was not worrying as he knew it would be paid even if it took five years. Then he added, \"If you don't send in an order I shall have to send up what I think you need and you wouldn't like that, would you?\" So I turned in an order. When the groceries arrived at the rectory that morning I found an envelope with ten dollars \"incidental cash\" in it which he had sent up, in case I was short of ready money, and which he had added to the bill as he knew I would not accept charity. He also asked for the key to our mail-box, so he could look after my mail for me. I have felt and still feel deeply indebted to him. It took me over two years to pay off his bill but it was paid, and each time I sent him five dollars on account I would get back a grateful letter from him just as if I had done him a favor.\nApart from the fact that I had been brought up in England where no anti-Jew feeling has prevailed and where the problem of the Negro is better understood than in the United States, I have been deeply indebted to members of these two suffering minorities. The problem of the Negro has always seemed to me simpler than that of the Jew, and one that can be much more easily solved.\nThe Jewish problem has seemed to me well nigh insoluble. I, at this time see no way out, except through the slow process of evolution and a planned educational campaign. I have no anti-Jewish feeling; some of my most beloved friends such as Dr. Assagioli, Regina Keller and Victor Fox I love devotedly, and they know it. There are few people in the world as close to me as they are, and I depend upon them for counsel and understanding and they [119] do not fail me. I have been officially on Hitler's \"blacklist\" because of my defence of the Jews whilst lecturing up and down western Europe. In spite, however, of knowing full well the wonderful qualities of the Jew, his contribution to western culture and learning and his wonderful assets and gifts along the line of the creative arts I still fail to see any immediate solution of their crucial and appalling problem.\nThere are faults on both sides. I do not here refer to the faults or rather the evil criminality of the Germans or the Poles towards their Jewish citizens. I refer to all those people who are for the Jews and not against them. We Gentiles have not yet found out what to do in order to liberate the Jews from persecution\u2014a persecution that is many, many centuries old. The Egyptians in the early phases of Biblical history persecuted the Jews, and persecution has been their record down the years. I hesitate to state my conclusions but am going to do so in the hope that it may help. It is only possible however very briefly to bear on one or two points, and from the start it must be necessarily inadequate.\nThere must be some basic cause for this constant and ceaseless persecution, some reason why they are not liked. What can it be? The basic cause probably lies deeply rooted in certain racial characteristics. People complain (and it is frequently true) that the Jews lower the atmosphere of any district in which they reside. They hang their bedding and their clothing out of the windows. They live on the streets, sitting in groups on the sidewalks. But for centuries the Jews were tent dwellers and had to live this way and may still react to hereditary qualities. The complaint is made that the moment you permit a Jew to get a footing in your group or business organisation, it will not be long before his sisters and his nephews, his uncles and his aunts [120] are in it too. But the Jews have had to hang together in the face of centuries of persecution. It is claimed that the Jew is strictly material, that the all-mighty dollar matters more to him than the ethical values and that he is quick and expert in taking advantage of the Gentiles. But the Jewish religion lays no emphasis upon immortality or upon the life after death, and this is true because I have discussed this problem with Jewish theological students. Why, therefore, should they not get the best out of life along material lines? Let us eat and drink and get worldly goods for tomorrow we die. All this is understandable but does not make for good relations.\nAs I have studied and thought and asked questions, certain things have clarified in my mind and are\u2014for me\u2014part of the answer. The Jews hang on to a religion which is basically obsolete. I asked myself a few days ago what part of the Old Testament was worth preserving. Much of it is dreadful, cruel and only because the literature is found in the Bible does it pass the post-office regulations. I decided that the ten commandments must be preserved, one or two of the Bible stories such as the love of David and Jonathan, the 23rd Psalm and the 91st Psalm with a few others and about four chapters in the Book of Isaiah. All the rest was largely useless or undesirable, and much that was left fed the pride and nationalism of the people. That which stands between the orthodox Jew and the mass of the Gentiles are his religious taboos, for the Jewish faith is largely a religion of \"Thou shalt not.\" That which conditions Gentile thinking concerning the unorthodox and younger Jew is his materialism, of which Shylock is a symbol.\nAs I write these words I am conscious of their inadequacy and lack of complete fairness and yet from the standpoint of a broad generalisation, they are absolutely true\u2014 [121] although from the standpoint of an individual Jew they are in many, many cases grossly unfair. There is much in the Jew and the German which is alike. The German regards himself as a member of the \"super race\" whilst the orthodox Jew regards himself as the Chosen People. The German emphasises \"racial purity\" and so have the Jews down the ages. The Jew never seems assimilable. I have met Jews in Asia, in India and in Europe as well as here and they remain Jews, and in spite of their citizenship they are separate from the nation in which they dwell. I have not found it so in Great Britain or in Holland.\nThe Gentiles have frequently treated the Jews abominably, and many of us are heartsick about it and working hard to help. One handicap comes today from the Jews themselves. Personally, I have never yet found a Jew who would admit that there might be faults or provocation on their side. They always take the position that they are the abused and that the whole problem could be solved by the Christian taking right action. Lots of us, thousands of us are trying to take right action but we get no cooperation from the Jews.\nForgive this digression, but the memory of Mr. Jacob Weinberg who so befriended me, started me off on a subject about which I am acutely concerned.\nThe problem, therefore, facing Walter and myself was what should we do? I understood Walter's fate was largely in my hands. If I could induce him to behave himself and treat me with ordinary decency eventually the Bishop would endeavor to get him another charge in another diocese where he would not be handicapped by his past, though the bishop of that diocese would, of course, have to know the details. I remember well the evening in which I put the situation flatly and baldly to Walter, after having a long talk with the Bishop. I made him see that his fate [122] did lie in my hands and that it would be the part of wisdom for him to stop knocking me about. I told him that any time I could get a divorce from him on the strength of the testimony of the doctor who had looked after me when Ellison was born and who had seen me with bruises all over my body. This threat from the point of view of the Episcopal Church was potent. His career as a priest would be over. He was a proud man and (being inwardly shocked by the publicity) from that day on he never laid a finger on me. He sulked and would not talk for days on end and gave me the bulk of the work to do but I had no further cause to be afraid of him.\nWe took a shack of three rooms in the depths of wild country not far from Pacific Grove and I started in to keep hens, and to make a little money by selling their eggs. I found out very quickly that unless you could keep hens on a very large scale (which involves capital) you don't make much money. Hens are such silly things; they have such silly faces; they have such stupid habits; they are completely devoid of intelligence; the only exciting part about poultry keeping is hunting the eggs, and that's a dirty job. But I did manage to feed the family, and the shack was only $8.00 a month and not worth that.\nMy life at this time was entirely monotonous\u2014looking after three babies, one morose husband and several hundred stupid hens. We had no bathroom or indoor toilet. Even keeping the children and the place clean was a problem. We had practically no money and part of the grocer's bill was paid with the eggs, which the grocer always took because he was my friend. I used to go out in the surrounding woods with a wheelbarrow, the children trotting after me, and collect the wood for the fires. I cannot, therefore, say that this was a pleasant time. Again, I don't feel humorous about it. It was like an entirely new incarnation [123] and the contrast between this humdrum life of a house-keeper and a mother, poultry keeper and gardener and my rich life as a girl and my full life as an evangelist finally got me completely down.\nI felt I was of no use to anybody; that I must have gone off the track along some line or else I would not be in this position. The old Christian complex of being a \"miserable sinner\" overwhelmed me. My conscience, morbidly conditioned by the fundamentalist theology, kept telling me I was paying the penalty of my questioning doubts and that if I had held on to my girlhood faith and surety I would not now be in this pickle. The church had failed me, because Walter was a churchman and the other churchmen I had met seemed to be so mediocre, with the exception of the Bishop. He was a saint but then, I argued, he would have been a saint anyway even if he had been a plumber or a stockbroker. I knew enough of theology to have lost my faith in theological interpretations and I felt that there was nothing left me except a vague belief in Christ, Who at this time seemed very far away. I felt deserted by God and man.\nLet me say here that there is no question in my mind that the Church is playing a losing game unless it changes its technique. I cannot understand why churchmen do not move with the times. All evolutionary development in all fields is an expression of divinity and the static condition of theological interpretation is contrary to the great law of the universe, evolution. After all, theology is simply man's interpretation and understanding of what he thinks God means. But it is a human, finite brain that does the thinking and has done the thinking down the ages. Hence other human and finite brains can appear and give other, deeper, more significant or broader interpretations and thus found a more progressive theology. Who dare say that [124] they are not as right as churchmen in the past? Unless the churches broaden their vision, eliminate their disputations concerning non-important details, and preach a Christ, risen, living and loving, and not a Christ, dead, suffering and a sacrifice to an angry God, they will lose the allegiance of coming generations\u2014and rightly so. Christ lives, triumphant and ever present. We are saved by His life. The death that He died, we can die too\u2014and triumphantly, the Bible says so. The churches will have to begin with their theological seminaries. I have taken a theological training and I know what I am talking about. Intelligent young men will no longer enter them when confronted with ancient meanings to what they recognise as living truths. They are not interested in the Virgin Birth\u2014they are interested in the fact of Christ. They know too much to accept the verbal inspiration of the Scriptures; but they are prepared to believe in the Word of God. Life is so full of movement today, of heroes, of beauty, of tragedy and cataclysm and of reality and glorious opportunity that this generation has no time for the puerilities of theology. Fortunately, there are within the church a few men of vision who will, eventually, change the reactionary attitude, but it will take time. In the meantime, the cults and the isms will engulf the people. This would not be necessary if the Church would wake up and give a seeking, urgent humanity what it needs\u2014not soporifics, not authority, not sweet platitudes\u2014but the living Christ.\nAfter six months of this kind of life, if I remember correctly, I saw the Bishop again and told him that Walter had behaved himself. The Bishop then very kindly set in to find a place where he could again resume his church work. He finally got a small charge in a mining village in Montana, with the understanding that part of his stipend should be sent monthly to me. I, in the meantime, moved [125] to a tiny, three-roomed cottage in a more populated district in Pacific Grove. This was in 1915 and it was the last time I ever saw Walter Evans. Practically none of his stipend was ever sent to me and his letters grew increasingly abusive. They were full of threats and innuendo. There was nothing that I could do and I realised that I must handle my life alone and do what was best for the three little girls.\nThe war in Europe was in full swing. Every relative that I had was involved. The small income I had came to me erratically. It was heavily taxed and the bank draft sometimes never arrived owing to the sinking of the ship on which the mails went. I was in a most difficult position; without a relative in the country to whom I could go and (apart from the Bishop and his wife) no friends to whom I cared to talk. I was surrounded by kind and good friends, however, but none of them were in a position to do anything for me and looking back now I question if I ever let them know how serious the situation was. The Bishop wanted to write to my people and let them know the situation but I would not let him. I've always been a great believer in the proverb that \"as a man makes his bed, so must he lie,\" and I am not at all a believer in squealing and crying and wailing to one's friends. I knew \"God helps those who help themselves\" but at this time I admit it seemed to me that God, also, had failed me and I couldn't even go squealing to Him.\nI hunted around for something that would bring me a little money, only to discover that I was a perfectly useless person. I could make beautiful lace, but nobody wanted lace and, in any case, I couldn't get the materials for lace making in America. I had no particular gifts; I could not use a typewriter; I could not teach; I did not know what to do. There was only one industry in this district and that was the sardine industry and rather than let the children [126] starve I decided to become a factory hand and work in a sardine cannery.\nI remember the time of crisis when I came to this decision. It was a major spiritual crisis. As I have earlier pointed out, I had arrived in America with much questioning in my mind as to the spiritual verities which could be believed. The theological course which I took on arrival did not help me at all. Any theological course would undermine a man's faith if he is intelligent enough to ask questions and is not of the type that accepts blindly what the churchmen say. The commentaries which I consulted in the theological library seemed to me inane, badly written and platitudinous. They answered no question; they dealt in abstractions; they evaded realities even when claiming to know exactly what God meant and intended, and sought to solve all problems by quoting St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas and the saints of the Middle Ages. Theologians never seem to face up to the basic issues; they fall back upon the trite statement that, \"God said.\" But perhaps He didn't; perhaps the translation was wrong; perhaps the phrase under consideration was an interpolation\u2014there are many such in the Bible. Then came the question in my mind: Why did God speak only to Jews? I knew nothing of the other Scriptures in the world and if I had known them I would not have regarded them as Scriptures. There were parts of the Old Testament that shocked me and parts that made me often wonder how they ever got through the mails. In an ordinary book they would have been regarded as obscene, but in the Bible they were all right. I began to wonder if my interpretations were not as good as somebody else's. I remember pondering one day on the verse in the Bible, \"The very hairs of your head are all numbered.\" It seemed to me that God was keeping a lot of statistics. I consulted a theologian in the seminary and found that his [127] answer was that this Biblical statement proved that God was not conditioned by time. I discovered next that the cross was not a Christian symbol but that it long antedated Christianity and this was a final blow.",

        "raw_content": "Scripture tells us in John 15:13, \u201cNo one has greater love than this, to lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends.\u201d Since our nation\u2019s founding, this has also been the creed of the men and women who put on the uniform and defend the United States. It is our duty to hold in our hearts those South Dakotans who have given their lives for their country to preserve what Ronald Reagan called our \u201clast best hope on Earth.\u201d Others have returned home and find themselves readapting to civilian life, sometimes in the face of difficult health and employment challenges.\nOur veterans have fought for us, and together we can fight for them.\nAS YOUR GOVERNOR, I WILL:\nRespect the ideas and ideals defended by the courageous actions of our military. This means honoring our national anthem and our flag\u2014the same flag that has been victoriously raised over foreign battlefields and draped over the caskets of our beloved dead.\nWork with our more than 20 veteran service organizations here in South Dakota to ensure they have a voice in state government. These groups tirelessly advocate for the needs of our veterans. Just as important, they work with our young people to pass on the values of patriotism, citizenship, and Americanism. I will support programs like Boys and Girls State, the American Legion Oratorical Contest, the Civil Air Patrol, and classroom curriculum that emphasize the importance of these American virtues.\nInsist that the federal government live up to its obligations to America\u2019s heroes. We have asked so much of our military men and women. When Washington fails to deliver on its promises, I will be a steady voice for veterans.\nFight to save the Black Hills VA Health Care System in Hot Springs. The federal government has been reducing services at the VA for over 20 years and I am committed to helping lead the fight to save the VA. I will also visit VA Healthcare Centers, Vet Centers, Community Based Outpatient Clinics, and meet with veterans on a regular basis to verify that South Dakota has the facilities to provide the health care our veterans have earned. Veterans deserve a governor who will see health care needs through their eyes\u2014not a governor who hears about health care challenges from a staffer. As we learn more about treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the full range of veteran health issues, I am committed to working with state and federal leaders to ensure South Dakota is caring for the physical and mental health of our heroes.\nPromote the State Veterans Home Endowment Fund to enhance the quality of life for the residents at the Michael J. Fitzmaurice State Veteran\u2019s Home. I will personally help raise money for this important cause.\nDirect the Department of Veteran\u2019s Affairs and the South Dakota Housing Development Authority (SDHDA) to assess the availability of affordable housing and retirement facilities for our veterans.\nSupport the critical mission of our South Dakota National Guard as commander-in-chief. I will work with state and national leaders to ensure the soldiers under our command in South Dakota have the tools and equipment they need to complete their mission safely.\nSupport the new Veteran\u2019s Cemetery near Sioux Falls and work to secure long-term funding. I also support the expansion of the Black Hills National Cemetery.\nAdvocate for Ellsworth Air Force Base and other facilities critical to our national security.\nCommit to hiring veterans at all levels of state government. Those veterans who wish to continue their service to South Dakota by working in state government will be welcomed by the Jackley administration.\nIn his 1863 Gettysburg Address, President Abraham Lincoln called the American people to fulfill the call of those who live in freedom thanks to the sacrifices of those who have gone before us:\n\u201cIt is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us\u2014that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.\u201d\nTogether we will honor the memory of those who gave the \u201clast full measure of devotion\u201d by fulfilling our promise to the veterans who are still with us and resolving that their ever-present sacrifice will never be forgotten in South Dakota.\nGuided by this Commitment to South Dakota Veterans, the Jackley administration will always stand beside those men and women whose actions guarantee our freedom, protect the peace, and preserve our liberty for a new generation of Americans.",

        "title": "Good News For Massachusetts Home Buyers: FHFA Relaxes Mortgage Guidelines \u2014 Massachusetts Real Estate Lawyer Blog \u2014 November 5, 2014",
        "raw_content": "Good News For Massachusetts Home Buyers: FHFA Relaxes Mortgage Guidelines\nThe Federal Housing Finance Agency, regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, is initiating changes in lending rules that would allow more potential buyers to qualify for home mortgages, especially in high-demand markets like Massachusetts. These changes should enhance buyers\u2019 ability to participate in the housing recovery.\nFannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not themselves mortgage lenders but are potential purchasers of loans from banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. This frees up funds so the direct lenders can make loans to more aspiring homeowners. To qualify to sell loans to Fannie or Freddie, the lenders must follow guidelines laid down by the federal agencies or face the possibility of being forced to buy back the loans. During the recession and the decline in property values and the plague of foreclosures, Fannie/Freddie imposed stringent requirements on borrowers and lenders. In response, banks adopted additional requirements\u2014called \u201coverlays\u201d\u2014that impose even more rigorous requirements on borrowers. Although Fannie/Freddie loans currently require a FICO credit score of at least 620 to qualify, most lenders demand a credit score of 740 or more for a borrower to qualify for a loan.\nAlthough interest rates are currently the lowest they have been in 18 months, the overlays have excluded many potential borrowers from the real estate market. This in turn has led to a decline in home sales, slowing the housing recovery. In fact, home sales have been down in six of the past nine months in 2014 in Massachusetts and are down nationally too.\nFrom 2003 to 2007, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loosened their lending guidelines to the extent that many applicants qualified for mortgages who could not actually afford to repay them. Then, in 2007, after the real estate market began to tumble, both agencies tightened their guidelines. Now, realizing that their guidelines were strangling the housing finance market, they are loosening them again. It has not yet been announced exactly when the changes will take effect, but it is likely that it will be the beginning of 2015. The most significant offer is mortgages for as little as 3% down instead of 5%, meaning lower down payments for buyers. Although FHA has offered a 3.5% down payment option, it is much more expensive with the addition of required premiums and mortgage insurance.\nThe intent behind the push to revise the rules was to provide clearer guidance for lenders to manage their risk, while making more financing available to potential home buyers. FHFA is also working to develop sensible and responsible guidelines for mortgages with loan to value ratios between 95 and 97 percent to increase access for creditworthy but lower-wealth borrowers.\nFor many borrowers, the difference between a down payment requirement of 3% or 5% could spell the difference between purchasing a home now or having to postpone the purchase or relinquish hope of being able to make it in the future. For the typical borrower, a 5% down payment on a $300,000 home would be $15,000, while a 3% down payment would be considerably lower: $9,000. Increasing the number of eligible borrowers and therefore buyers would be welcome news for the housing market, especially in Massachusetts, where it would accelerate appreciation in home values, since more borrowers will be able to purchase a home and take advantage of low interest rates before they go back up.\nAs experienced Massachusetts real estate attorneys, Pulgini & Norton can help you with all of your real estate legal needs.

        "raw_content": "It is 1:57 PM and I have a rare moment of peace during the middle of the day. I had mentioned previously that I think it would be fun for you to read about current affairs from my point of view 50, 100 years from now.\nDonald Trump remains the main issue of the day. As my Dad said, \u201cTrump is a national IQ test and lots and lots of Americans are flunking.\u201d I wonder if you will look back on this as the moment that democracy failed. Even though we have more universities and access to higher education than any other time in history it is proving to not be enough. Should Trump win the presidency it is proof that the people are not smart enough to elect their own leaders and we should close up this experiment in democracy.\nFor me, I would prefer a council of elders whose eligibility is indisputable. They couldn\u2019t be nominated like the Supreme Court is because they are just as partisan as the politicians. It would have to be something more like the Council of Elrond from Lord of the Rings \u2013 with very clear judgement and a dash of magical power. If Trump had been in this council he would have put the ring on and become the new dark lord for sure. And it is not a far stretch to say that if he wins the presidency he will be much like a dark lord ushering in a very sad time for our country. In case you are wondering I am listening to the LOTR soundtrack at the moment so the analogy didn\u2019t just come out of nowhere.\nI wonder if you\u2019ll look back at 2016 as the year America failed? Or perhaps Trump will just be a footnote in history about the time America almost shot itself in the foot?\nRepublicans are up in arms as they witness the shattering of their party. Eight years of hate has born a very bitter fruit which they now refuse to eat. Finally, the Republicans see themselves in the mirror and cannot help but turn away. All the hate, anger, and aggressiveness, have turned out a fucking Sith Lord and they cannot contain him as his miti-chlorians in the form of supporters is much greater than they ever imagined.\nIt is here in 2016 that the Grand Old Party has been laid low, and it really is quite sad.\nWhat else can I tell you? From all the stuff going on in the Middle East, current moves by China and North Korea shooting off missiles I would say that we\u2019re now closer to WW3 than any other time since the end of the second world war. We as humans are still animals\u2026. no, I take that back as it is offensive to animals. A lion can go kill some prey, eat and be satisfied for a while until hunger requires another hunt. A human on the other hand is never satisfied: having gained enough to live a comfortable existence they will still want more, and when they have more they will then want power. An animal is easily satisfied but a human never is until the race for money, power and influence culminate into a massive war that leads millions dead and those that still live exhausted from the struggle. Then the cycle starts over again.\nIn other news my boss mentioned a tv show he thought I\u2019d enjoy called The Goldbergs which is about a family living in the 80s. I haven\u2019t watched TV in years but I do enjoy Netflix and only two current shows which are Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. But I gave The Goldbergs a try and have to say I enjoyed it as it made me reminisce about that wonderful decade. Sure I was only a kid but I remember it well enough and the 80s were a lot of fun. So, now I not only have \u201cThe Throwback Station\u201d which plays my jams from the 90s but also my 80s show. It is as if this show and radio station are whispering to me \u201cHey, if you didn\u2019t realize it yet, you have aged.\u201d And it is true, I didn\u2019t feel as though I\u2019d aged up until I turned 37 and now the reminders seem to be everywhere.\nIt isn\u2019t that I care much, I think the glorification of youth is a bit overdone. And when I read this post at 50 I\u2019m going to want to smack myself if I wallow around at 38 wishing I was 25 again. I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of fun at every age and I don\u2019t plan on stopping that now. I do see a lot of acquaintances becoming \u201caged\u201d aka boring, because that is what society tells them to do \u2013 they are becoming their own mothers and fathers. Guys and gals that were absolutely wild in high school now attend church regularly and feel better discussing snacks for the bake sale than challenging authority. Be like everyone else, there is safety in that and it is what is expected.\nWell, I think I\u2019ll wrap up this post now.\nPosted by\u9b54\u624b March 10, 2016 March 17, 2016 Posted inLTMDTags: LTMD",

UCSF is the only medical institution in the United States where patients can undergo this surgery.\nDeveloped by neurosurgeon Christopher Ames, MD, co-director of neurospinal disorders and director of the Spinal Biomechanics and Spinal Neuronavigation Laboratory at UCSF Medical Center, the surgery uses standard and innovative devices to first remove and then reconstruct portions of the cervical spine in order to access tumors. Once the bone is removed, surgeons have a direct line of sight to the tumor and are able to remove it in its entirety without having to move or manipulate the spinal cord.\nAfter the tumor is removed, surgeons immediately rebuild the spine with artificial pedicle screws, a reconstruction technique also developed by Ames. The technique is particularly useful in cases in which the tumor is located in the middle of the spinal canal and attached to the lining of the spine. These types of tumors include meningiomas, neurofibromas and exophytic astrocytomas.\nMore in the press release\u2026",

        "raw_content": "Diabetes Is Still A Major Public Health Problem Despite Overall Rates Leveling Off\nDiabetes rates finally started to plateau, but there's still cause for concern. Photo courtesy of Shutterstock\nIn 2012, the American Diabetes Association reported over 29 million Americans had diabetes, an increase from the 25.8 million in 2010. But a new JAMA study found the epidemic may finally be starting to plateau.\nThe study, led by Linda S. Geiss, the diabetes surveillance lead in division of diabetes translation for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is the first to use nationally representative data to determine whether there were times when diabetes epidemic accelerated or slowed down over the last three decades. Geiss and her team culled data from the 1980-2012 National Health Interview Survey to pinpoint the prevalence and incidence of diagnosed diabetes (type 1 and type 2 combined) among adults ages 20-79 years old. And after a sharp increase between the years 1990-2008 \u2014 nearly five percent for both prevalence and incidence \u2014 researchers found rates leveled off during 2008-2012: down to 0.6 percent and negative 5.4 percent, respectively.\nHowever, that wasn't the case for everyone. \"Diabetes incidence, [or rate of new cases], is higher in Hispanic and non-Hispanic blacks than in non-Hispanic whites,\" Geiss told Medical Daily in an email. \"Since incidence leveled off in non-Hispanic whites but continued to grow among Hispanic and non-Hispanic blacks, the differences between them will likely widen, further increasing racial disparities in diabetes.\"\nIn other words, added Geiss, \"because incidence or prevalence continued to increase in some groups but not others, racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities and differences in diabetes prevalence and incidence will likely increase.\" Though her study did not address why these rates are higher to begin with, she did cite prior research that has suggested the discrepancy is in part due to higher rates of diabetes risk factors, such as family history diabetes, high blood pressure, poor diet, physical inactivity, and obesity.\nThat doesn't mean everyone can throw diabetes caution to the wind. \"Although the slowing or plateauing of the diabetes epidemic is encouraging, diabetes incidence and prevalence more than doubled before it slowed,\" Geiss said. \"Our study did not address reasons why rates doubled, [but] it is likely due to a multiple of factors, including improved survival, enhanced detection, the aging of the population, and increases in obesity and sedentary lifestyle.\"\nIn short, this still leaves diabetes as a major publich health problem. A problem that can be solved with effective prevention and management programs. According to Geiss, these programs would entail motivating patients to lose as little as five percent of their body weight. Research has shown that modest weight loss and regular physical activity can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.\nAdditionally, the CDC launched the National Diabetes Prevention Program as an easy way for patients and their families to locate community-based diabetes prevention programs, as well as to identify and refer persons at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Geiss said people can determine whether they are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and look for a prevention program when they visit the CDC's website.\nSource: Geiss L, Wang J, Cheng Y, Thompson T, Barker L, et al.

        "title": "What Features Should Your Credit Card Reader Have?",
        "raw_content": "What Features Should Your Credit Card Reader Have?\nYour business' credit card reader should have many features, including easy operation and the ability to accept EMV chip cards.\nWhen merchants decide on the type of credit card reader they want to use, there\u2019s typically a lot of research involved. This way, they learn about the different options available, comparing and contrasting their advantages and disadvantages. The model most optimal for your business is going to vary, depending on your industry. For example, those who are out in the field and need to accept payments from customers onsite may not have the same list of must-haves as those owning a clothing store.\nHowever, there are key features for every credit card reader, no matter the size of your business or field:\nIt should work efficiently.\nA good credit card reader should not only be easy to operate, but also capable of quickly deciphering and transmitting card data. This way, the check-out process is simple and painless for the employees and customers, which will only be beneficial for your business.\nFirst, when your employees understand what they need to do and how to do it, their jobs become a lot less stressful. Second, when customers don\u2019t have to wait a long time to complete a purchase, it will likely improve their overall experience. As explained in a May 2016 podcast by global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company: \u201cWhen a customer is satisfied with a company, they are also lower in the cost to serve, but also have a higher potential to be more loyal customers for this company.\u201d\nIt should ensure data privacy.\nConsumers want to know their personal card information is secure when making a purchase. If a company is known for having data breaches, it will likely negatively impact customer loyalty. A survey conducted by digital security company Gemalto discovered that 64 percent of consumers who participated would not do business with a company again following such security lapses. In fact, 49 percent \u201cof consumers surveyed would consider taking legal action against companies that had consumer data stolen,\u201d according to the study. This would hurt your business financially, as you could lose money from a drop in sales or spend money on legal fees.\nIt should accept other payments besides credit cards.\nPeople don\u2019t just use cash and credit cards to make purchases. There are also debit cards and gift cards, as well as mobile and near-field communication (NFC) payments. Being able to accept other payment methods gives your existing customers more options, and attracts new customers who prefer those ways of paying for products and services.\nIn May 2016, Auriemma Consulting Group reported the findings of its Mobile Pay Tracker survey. According to the advisory consulting services company, 27 percent of consumer participants have used Apple, Android, or Samsung Pay at some point. Plus, 39 percent \u201csay they would use mobile payments more if more stores/apps accepted it.\u201d This should be an incentive for companies to offer this option to consumers.\nIt should read EMV chips.\nRegarding data privacy, credit card readers able to accept chip credit cards also give consumers some peace of mind, as EMV technology helps protect sensitive card information, and thus, avoid data breaches. The number of consumers owning EMV cards is significant, as well. According to the Nasdaq Stock Exchange: As of 2016, \u201c70 percent of U.S. credit cardholders now carry an EMV chip card.\" In 2016, many merchants still hadn\u2019t yet adopted EMV technology, which likely frustrated their customers. With more people using these cards, it\u2019s important for businesses to keep up and switch to EMV, so customers can reap its benefits.\nWant access to the best credit card readers? You\u2019ll have to find a reliable credit card processing company for assistance.",

        "title": "Kerry looks to China to rein in N. Korea\u2019s nuclear arms, but at what cost? | Miami Herald",
        "raw_content": "Kerry spent Friday meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other top Chinese officials. He said that he and his Chinese hosts discussed specific steps that could be undertaken to prod North Korea into what diplomats called \u201cdenuclearization.\u201d Kerry wouldn\u2019t say what those steps are, but he said that both sides are taking their separate proposals \u201cunder advisement\u201d to be subjects for further discussion.\nChina has had longstanding concerns about North Korea\u2019s bellicose and unpredictable behavior, highlighted recently when North Korean leader Kim Jong Un purged and executed his uncle, Jang Song Thaek, who was close to Beijing.\nEven so, few foreign analysts think China will apply heavy pressure to persuade Kim to re-engage in six-party talks that seek to prompt North Korea to give up its nuclear program in return for aid. Such talks haven\u2019t been held since 2008. For now, Beijing appears to be figuring its relationship with Kim in light of his execution of his uncle.\nOn Thursday, Kerry spent time with top government officials in South Korea, after which he made clear that North Korea\u2019s nuclear program would be a major focus of his two days in Beijing.\n\u201cNo country has a greater potential to influence North Korea\u2019s behavior than China, given their extensive trading relationship with the North,\u201d Kerry told reporters in Seoul. As Kerry noted, North Korea depends on China for fuel, banking and hard currency through trade.\nIf Beijing is to play the role Kerry wants, it surely will ask the United States for reciprocity on its priorities. These include reduced military aid to Taiwan and a settling of territorial claims that have triggered recent feuds between China and Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines.\nTo complicate matters further, U.S. ally South Korea has its own territorial disputes with U.S. ally Japan, over a set of islands known as the Dokdo by South Koreans and Takeshima by the Japanese. Both South Korea and China have long memories about Japanese atrocities during World War II, which were rekindled when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe recently visited a war shrine that honors known war criminals.\nPart of Kerry\u2019s visit is designed to send the message that the Obama administration still wants to \u201crebalance\u201d U.S. foreign policy to focus more on China and Asia. This is Kerry\u2019s fifth trip to Asia, and his second to China since becoming secretary of state last year. He travels to Indonesia on Saturday. This week, the White House announced that Obama will visit Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines in April.\nDespite those travels, numerous Asia watchers complain that administration focuses far too much on the Middle East. Obama barely mentioned Asia in his State of the Union address. Yet other analysts criticize the administration for another reason \u2013 using \u201crebalance\u201d as a pretext for escalating military involvement in Asia.\nIn a recent commentary in the China Daily, Stephen Harner, an Asia consultant and former State Department official, said the United States risks triggering a regional arms race with its aggressive stance toward China.\n\u201cThe U.S. \u2018rebalance\u2019 to Asia policy looks more than anything like a Department of Defense strategy to keep and grow Pentagon personnel levels, budgets and new weapons development, under the pretext of \u2018strengthening alliances,\u2019\u201d Harner wrote.\nIn his Beijing news conference, Kerry stressed the potential for China and the United States \u2013 \u201cthe two most powerful economies of the world\u201d \u2013 to achieve major accomplishments by focusing on areas of mutual agreement and working respectfully on issues where both sides disagree.\n\u201cChina and the United States are cooperating on big-ticket items,\u201d said Kerry, adding that joint efforts by both countries to address climate change, clean energy and conflicts in Iran and Afghanistan have gotten less attention than they deserve.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cHe was a 13-year-old kid, and he deserves, at some point, to be brought back home to his mother,\u201d said Varnadoe, who lives in Lakeland. \u201cAll this case is about is bringing a 13-year-old home and burying him with the rest of the family.\u201d\nVarnadoe and his uncle, Joseph R. Varnadoe, will appear before a Leon Circuit Court judge at 3 p.m. Friday in an effort to stop the sale of the Dozier property.\nLate Thursday, the Department of Juvenile Justice\u2019s chief, Wansley Walters, said her agency will reconsider the state\u2019s decision to close off the campus from researchers and family members seeking to locate the graves of children who died there.\n\u201cAs secretary of the [DJJ], I am profoundly aware of the historical significance of the North Florida Youth Development Center [NFYDC], formerly the Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys,\u201d Walters said. \u201cOne of the decisions I am most proud of is that this administration closed NFYDC in 2011. After careful consideration, we will work with the researchers on how best to provide them access to the site.\u201d\nFor several months, a team of anthropologists from the University of South Florida has been scouring the boys\u2019 school campus in search of what they believe to be the unmarked graves of an unknown number of children who died during Dozier\u2019s more than 100 years of operation. In July, Erin Kimmerle, an anthropology professor, asked state land managers for permission to study a portion of the school, known as the South Campus, where state juvenile justice administrators operated a corrections center until last year. The South Campus originally contained cottages, schools and other facilities used exclusively by white children; African-American youth had been housed in a separate campus nearby.\nThe North Campus, where black children were housed, now contains several ramshackle cottages that \u2014 though largely falling apart \u2014 were frozen in time decades ago, with furniture, books and Bibles scattered as they were the day the campus was closed. It also holds a cemetery \u2014 called Boot Hill \u2014 with about 30 graves in neat rows loosely marked by spare crosses of white-washed PVC pipe.\nResearchers and others believe white children who died at Dozier were buried somewhere on the South Campus, and they cite the conventions of the South in the \u201930s, \u201940s, \u201950s and \u201960s as support for their beliefs. If the children were housed in different dormitories, ate in separate mess halls, played on segregated sports teams and studied in classrooms far apart \u2014 why would they have been buried together?\n\u201cIt was the law of the land that there be separate facilities, and also the custom of the South that whites and blacks be buried separately,\u201d said Robert S. Bolt, a Tampa lawyer who is representing the Varnadoes.\nAnd court pleadings filed Thursday say researchers have interviewed townspeople, former inmates of the youth camp and relatives who say they either saw burial sites on the South Campus or were told about them by people who had.\nSaid Bolt: \u201cThere is plenty of good evidence that that\u2019s where the white cemetery is.\u201d\nBut in a letter last August, a head of the state Bureau of Public Land Administration, Victoria F. Thompson, denied Kimmerle\u2019s request, \u201cdue to the upcoming surplus sale of this property and liability concerns.\u201d\nDJJ is spending $357,521 yearly to maintain the property, which is not expected to fetch more than that at sale.\nBids for the Dozier property, \u2014 described as \u201cgently rolling, improved and wooded,\u201d in a sale announcement \u2014 were to be opened next Monday. In their complaint, the Varnadoes say going forward with the sale will forever prevent them from retrieving the remains of Thomas Varnadoe, whose death certificate says he died on or about Oct. 26, 1934 of pneumonia.\nGlen Varnadoe\u2019s father, who died in 1973, was sent to Dozier, along with Thomas, when the two brothers were arrested in Hernando County on malicious trespassing charges, Glen Varnadoe said. A Dozier student newspaper reported that Thomas had been in poor health when he entered the youth prison, but family members long have disputed that claim. The \u201cYellow Jacket\u201d newspaper also reported that Thomas was carried to his grave by fellow inmates who acted as pallbearers while a large contingent of staff members looked on solemnly.\nVarnadoe said his father never discussed Thomas\u2019 death, though he did insist that only he and a grave-digger attended the funeral. \u201cAt Thomas\u2019 funeral, they dug a hole and they put him in,\u201d he said.\nIf researchers can identify Thomas\u2019 remains, Varnadoe said, he would like to place them \u201cright beside the headstone of his mother.\u201d\nVarnadoe says he suspects some of the newer buildings on the South Campus likely were erected atop the bones of children who were unceremoniously deposited under the ground, as he says Thomas was. And he fears the boys, like his uncle Thomas, will remain there forever if DJJ is allowed to sell the site before the graves are located and preserved.\n\u201cTo think he will spend an eternity buried under a parking lot somewhere is just a travesty,\u201d Varnadoe said.",

        "raw_content": "HomeRecruitment GuideBusiness Formation Quickstart: What You Need to Know\nBusiness Formation Quickstart: What You Need to Know\nWhile most new companies begin with great ideas, the process involved in actually establishing a new business proves a bit more convoluted. One of the most important first steps for any new business is to determine what type of legal business structure the company will adopt. How a company incorporates ultimately affects many areas, from how the business must pay taxes to who is ultimately liable in the event that it gets sued. This content is intended to offer a condensed look at establishing a business along with information about some of the benefits and downfalls associated with establishing each type of legal business structure.\nEstablishing a Partnership: An Overview\nPartnerships are usually among the easier types of businesses to create because there aren\u2019t any associated costs and little, if any, red tape involved. To establish a partnership, potential business owners must choose a name and make sure it isn\u2019t already taken, register that name, and then draft and sign a partnership agreement, which may dictate anything from how the partnership can be dissolved to how the company\u2019s profits are to be dispersed among the partners. Generally, the more comprehensive the partnership agreement, the better, because it will more than likely come in handy when disputes among partners inevitably arise somewhere down the line. In the event that disagreements among partners arise and a partnership agreement was never executed, companies are usually bound to any rules set in place at the state level. The Secretary of State must also be informed about the new partnership, particularly if the business is a limited partnership or limited liability partnership, and then the business owners must secure licensure and, depending on the type of business, additional permits through city, state and federal channels.\nEstablishing a Corporation: An Overview\nEstablishing a corporation can be beneficial, but the process involved in doing so is also often tedious. As is the case with any legal business structure, the exact process involved in launching varies based on the type of business at hand. Some simply require more permits, licenses and so on than others. In most cases, however, those who are looking to establish corporations must decide on a business name and make sure it isn\u2019t already in use, and then register that name and determine where to incorporate the new business. Keep in mind that some states have specific requirements when it comes to naming businesses. Next, it\u2019s time to determine who the company\u2019s directors will be and then draft the business\u2019s articles of incorporation, bylaws and shareholder agreement. After the business\u2019s articles of corporation are filed with the Secretary of State\u2019s office, it\u2019s time to open a separate bank account for the business, secure any necessary licenses and comply with any other existing regulations that may be in place at the local, state or federal levels.\nEstablishing a Limited Liability Company: An Overview\nAs the name implies, a limited-liability company, or LLC, offers an additional level of protection to its owners in terms of liability. To establish an LLC, entrepreneurs must choose a business name and determine that it isn\u2019t already in use, register that name, and then draft and sign an operating agreement and articles of organization. Next, it\u2019s time to secure any necessary licenses or permits (again, expect these to vary broadly based on the nature of the business) and file them with the appropriate local, state or federal channel. Another important step in establishing an LLC is to open a separate business bank account. While an LLC does help protect business owners from certain liabilities, a separate bank account is critical in ensuring that this happens.\nEstablishing a Nonprofit: An Overview\nAmong the primary factors that distinguish nonprofit organizations from other types of businesses is the fact that nonprofits are working with a particular cause or mission in mind, such as one that serves a charitable, educational or religious purpose. Another key difference that separates nonprofits from other business types is that they are tax-exempt. Nonprofits can be incorporated, but they don\u2019t have to be, and the decision to do so again generally depends on the nature of the business. In the event that a nonprofit incorporates, the appropriate paperwork must be filed with the state. The next step is to file for state and federal tax-exempt status, and then it is time to create bylaws and appoint nonprofit directors. Generally, the first meeting involving the chosen board of directors is what gets the nonprofit off the ground. The process of forming a business can be relatively simple or far more complex, depending on local and federal regulations and the nature of the company at hand. This content is intended to offer an overview of the general processes involved in forming a business.",

        "title": "Otto von Bismarck \u2013 the greatest leader of all time? | Military History Matters",
        "raw_content": "Otto von Bismarck \u2013 the greatest leader of all time?\nDr Neil Faulkner explains why he believes Otto von Bismarck is the greatest military leader of all time.\nWhen Otto von Bismarck became its Prime Minister in 1862, Prussia was a second-rate power overshadowed by Russia, Austria, France, and Britain. It was also unstable, its ancient monarchy and traditional Junker landowning class threatened by the rising forces of pan-German nationalism and liberal democratic revolution. When Bismarck retired in 1890, Prussia was the dominant part of a united German Empire which had become the greatest power in Europe. The old monarchy had not only survived, but the Prussian King had been transformed into a German Emperor. The Prussian aristocracy had become the military-bureaucratic masters of a mighty state.\nThe Iron Chancellor\nInstead of the old order being overwhelmed by the revolutionary forces of industrialisation, nationalism, and liberalism, Otto von Bismarck had put them all in harness to the traditional Prussian militarism represented by the King, the Junkers, and the Army. Bismarck had created an extraordinary hybrid: a turret of feudal power resting on a base of modern capitalist industry. Bismarck\u2019s career of extraordinary statesmanship falls into two distinct phases. First, Bismarck made conservative Prussia the standard-bearer of German nationalism, waging three blitzkrieg wars in rapid succession \u2013 against Denmark in 1864, Austria in 1866, and France in 1870. The result was to deflect the minor German states from their orbits around foreign powers, and to bring them into a close relationship with the rising power of Prussia. The consummation was the declaration of the German Empire in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles \u2013 France, the traditional enemy, defeated and prostrate, being a fitting setting for this great pageant of reborn Teutonic nationalism. Bismarck had destroyed the entire European balance of power in the space of seven years. Not only that, but the newly-unified German state was soon exploding with industrial energy, outstripping British coal and steel production by the end of the century, and leaping ahead in new industries like chemicals and electricals. In 1873, the Krupp complex of steel and arms factories employed 16,000. By 1912, grown hugely fat on state contracts, its workforce had grown to 70,000.\nOtto Von Bismark \u2013 the greatest of all time?\nSeeking allegiance\nPhase two of Otto von Bismarck\u2019s work was to protect the new politico-industrial colossus he had created against hostile combinations of jealous neighbours. So Bismarck rejected \u2018Greater German\u2019 expansionism after 1870, and sought instead to win and maintain the allegiance of both Russia and Austria, thus isolating France and securing the German Empire against a war on two fronts. Bismarck held to this line, maintaining the European peace, safeguarding Germany\u2019s position in Europe, until his dismissal from high office by the new, young, thrusting Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1890. The subsequent unravelling of Bismarck\u2019s diplomatic web led directly to the disaster of 1914 \u2013 a war on two fronts what would bring the German Empire crashing to defeat four years later.\nDr Neil Faulkner is Editor of Military Times\nWhy you voted for Otto von Bismarck\nI am impressed by Von Bismarck\u2019s diplomatic acumen and cold realism. He was too able to even be succeeded.\nThe father of modern Germany, having achieved what so many before him have failed to manage.\nOtto not only was a great military leader, but also a political one, being responsible for the unification of Germany, influencing all the subsequent generations until after Hitler. Such a figure simply can not be forgotten.\nHe was a true statesman trying to develop his country for its best.\nHe united Germany thus creating one of the most powerful nations in Europe, exceeding both France and Great Britain.\nHis diplomatic and strategic skills was simply the best! He succesfuly ruled German Empire for lot of years.\nGaitis\nHe was able to unite all of the German states into one powerful empire, making it the most powerful country in Europe at that time. His empire stayed together until it was destroyed in the World Wars. If they\u2019d never happened, his Germany would still be alive today.\nUniting Germany and creating an economic power house while ensuring relations with other nations would lead to stability in the region after.\nWell, when it comes down to it, this is the man who did more to shape the modern world than anybody else on this list. We still live in an extension of the Age of Bismarck.\nMore so than any other leader, Bismark not only was the primary political, diplomatic, and military figure in the creation of the German state, but also his actions let to a sustainable empire in central Europe.\nA supreme leader both in foreign and domestic issue, Bismarck was not only a ferocious warrior but also crafted a social insurance system that is still at the heart of many developed countries today\nBismarck\u2019s outstanding ability to form alliances and treaties that enabled him to create the strongest power in the heart of Europe.\nFrom a second-rate European state, he deftly crafted an economic and military powerhouse. His skilled statesmanship gracefully incorporated warfare and diplomacy to achieve his long-range goals. He united the forces of nationalism and liberalism to perpetuate the German monarchy, aristocracy, and army. A genius whose work laid the foundations of modern Europe.\nBringing together the disparate German states \u2013 an incredibly difficult accomplishment \u2013 required someone with the leadership acumen of the Iron Chancellor.\nBismarck managed to turn a tiny, forgetful nation into a powerhouse that has stood the test of time. He is literally what Civilization, the series, is all about!\n\u2013 had to fight major battles\n\u2013 he won them\n\u2013 he had to fight long odds and start from almost nothing\n\u2013 he did not win the war by destroying his country \u2013 he not only won, but created an empire that endured\nI think otto von bismark is the greatest leader of all time because he built the german empire to greatness. Although he met his match, he still did what no other empire in the history of time could do,unite the german peoples under one banner.\nThe Iron Chancellor resonsible for forging a nation that would eventually start 2 world wars and dominate Europe for a number of years. Also he is well known as a ruthless military leader \u201cThe Iron Chancellor\u201d\nDoing the impossible> United Germany\nCreated Germany, and when he would have been Chancellor until 1945 the World Wars never had started. But sadly the Kaiser didnt understand how valuable he was and so the Kaiser fired him and gone with Leib und Seele in the first World War.\nHe unified Germany against all odds with his skills in diplomacy and war. He stabilized and modernized Germany after with Realpolitik. He gave (Central) Europe a phase of peace for over 40 years, which seldomly happened before and after. He was the \u201chonest broker\u201d and a master of diplomacy. I could go on, but the place is not here.\nBismarck was able to take a loose bunch of city states and make it into one of the most powerful countries on Earth \u2013 he didn\u2019t inherit it, he didn\u2019t conquer it, he used pure political savvy to create an entire country.\nBismarck unified a number of states to form a military and economic powerhouse that continues to dominate Europe, albeit now on a financial muscle perspective.\nBismark managed to unite disjointed German states into a mighty empire, defeated France and Austria-Hungary and set the stage for the most powerful state Central Europe had ever seen.\nUnited a country that has since its creation, been one of the strongest countries in history. Especially for its size.\nSingle-handedly managed the diplomatic \u2018balance of power\u2019 of Europe from 1860-1890 and accomplished the impossible by unifying the disparate German states into a cohesive (if still monarchical) empire. Waged war against Austria, Denmark and France within diplomatic (and thus acceptable) contexts and, though he upset the balance of power immensely, managed to avoid drawing Britain or Russia into a European imbroglio. Furthermore, he managed (deftly) the Eastern Question of Turkey and the early stages of Europe\u2019s colonization of Africa. All of this, mind you, as Chancellor of a constitutional monarchy, not as an autocrat or tyrant.\nCrafted a superpower from a collection of bickering states and thrust it into the world stage. In addition, put into place things like worker\u2019s rights, healthcare and other great steps forward in policy.\nMy favourite is actually Cyrus the Great but he\u2019s not on here.\nOtto is the greatest leader of this particular list, because his achievements \u2013 both military and political had a long lasting (and still lasting) impact on both his own country and the whole world. Also his political surrounding of the time was probably the harshest. All of these older historical figures usually were short-lived and they most often had no counterparts to give them real challenge.\n\u201cWar is diplomacy by other means\u201d\nHe single handedly created a new nation without making the 30 or so prior nations angry about it. He also created a new european order of alliances that would usher in a golden age of European culture that lasted until WWI.\nHe made Germany one of the most powerful state of Europe in just a few years and he managed to overrun the others great country such as France.\nBismarck shaped European diplomacy for the 19th century, unifying Germany and being conscious of possible future threats that his followers would avoid. These incapabilities would lead to WWI that Bismarck could have avoided with his policies.\nHad Bismark been leader, WW1 would either not have happened, or been a German victory\nP Rod\nBrought his home from a corrupt decaying backwards irrelevant region and made it the shining beacon of Europe. By his inspiration Germany, went from Greatness in the world, to total destruction (WWI) to greatness, Then again to even lower depths(WWII and the cold war) becoming a plaything of other empires and finally to the seat of A great European union In a single 100 years. With the economy of all Europe at its back and the third largest econ in the world in its own home the modern Germany must thank Otto von Bismark The Greatest Leader of All time for being and making Germany his home.\nBecause it sure as hell doesn\u2019t belong to Napoleon.\nBismarck was a master of the \u201cGreat Game\u201d. Personally repulsed by the realities of war, he nonetheless resorted to diplomacy, war and politics as tools to be used in the forging of Germany. He always knew when he had the high ground and acted when victory was assured. His special greatness was to make others (including his enemies and his social superiors) bend to his iron will and the achievement of his goals.\nFor centuries the German peoples were separated (counties, bisphorics, prinicipalities). Otto von Bismarck united these peoples and created a nation that withstood great upheavel (some of it of its own doing). To this day Germany is going strong.\nMany other leaders took an existing empire (nation) to glory, Otto von Bismarck created a (glorious) nation.\nBismarck made Prussia, despite its small size, have the most powerful land army during his time. He was able to carefully balence alliances, and united Germany for the first time since the Holy Roman Empire.\nHe created the most powerful nation on earth, that was laid low only due to the later leaders not heeding his advice, and attempting to take on the rest of the world combined (twice).\nPrevious article Sea Battles image gallery by Mark Bromley\nNext article Augustus Caesar \u2013 the greatest leader of all time?\nGermany's rise as a powerful nation was swift and impressive, large in part, as you say, to Bismarck. However, the greatest leader of all time is a tall order too far for a man who a) was not even the leader of his nation b) was disposed as inadequate much before his legacy could ever be realistically considered amongst utterly great leaders and c) as profiund as his effects were on Germany, he still only held power in a nation clearly second to another in the 19th century (i.e. Britain) - thus bringing up the question of how he can be considered the greatest of all time when he was not even the leader of the greatest in his time?\nAll the 'young, thrusting' brat deserved was a second rate european power. Germany and all her drive and promise was a reflection of the man who created her. A man of ability not fortune. Wilhelm took from Bismarck what was not his to take. Although German foreign policy was always going to be expansionary and Bismarck was the one who discarded the old order, he would have delicately brought the European balance of power to a stable equilibrium. He would have established a new order through statesmenship- Our Kaiser on the other hand was indifferent to the tension and insecurity his actions created, gleefully entering a new era of heightened capacities and risks, hoping someone would simply reward Germany for being loud\nMoemeleng Phuthiyagae says:\nThe greatest leader of his time, but continue to inspire me in 2014. I wonder what he is doing wherever he is; politics or prayer? but he is great Otto von Bismarck forever.\nI'm evaluating the role of Otto Von Birmarck in the unification of the German states for my historical investigation and i really need help!

SS25/15 sets out the PRA expectations of firms and provides further clarity on the information to be reported by firms using an internal model to calculate the solvency capital requirement (SCR). SS26/15 sets out the PRA expectations on how non-life firms should identify and manage all risks to which their business could be exposed over the long and short term. Comment period for CP10/18 closes on July 13, 2018. PRA also published CP11/18, which proposes changes to the file type and reporting format for a number of insurance reporting submissions, to align with Solvency II Quantitative Reporting Templates and international data standards. Comments on CP11/18 must be received by June 01, 2018.\nCP10/18. PRA proposes to amend the life, counterparty, and non-life templates, along with the associated instructions (LOG files) in SS25/15 and SS26/15 (with the changes set out in the appendices). The changes would take effect from the year-end 2018 reporting onward. The proposals follow the analysis of the year-end 2016 PRA internal model output request, feedback from individual firms, and the PRA package of insurance reporting reforms. PRA has also considered the areas recommended for reform made by the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and discussed with the Treasury Select Committee.\nCP11/18. CP11/18 details the proposals to potentially change the reporting format from Microsoft Excel workbooks to XBRL standards for National Specific Templates, internal model outputs, market risk sensitivities, and standard formula reporting for firms with an approved internal model. PRA does not propose changes to the underlying content of the reports. In the policy statement PS2/15 titled \"Solvency II: a new regime for insurers,\" PRA published the National Specific Templates and the accompanying LOG files.

        "raw_content": "Name: Augusto Pinochet\nA.K.A.: Full name Augusto Pinochet Ugarte\nIn brief: Augusto Pinochet is commander-in-chief of the Chilean Army when he is asked to lead a military coup against the socialist government of Salvador Allende. The coup has the backing of the United States Government. The military strike on 11 September 1973. A four-member junta headed by Pinochet is installed. Democratic freedoms are suspended. All opposition is brutally suppressed. Pinochet rules Chile until 1988 when democracy is restored. Laws introduced to guarantee the junta immunity from prosecution for the abuses committed during its regime are soon tested. From 1998 onward, Pinochet is forced to fend off a steady stream of charges brought by courts in Chile and overseas. He is accused of kidnapping, murder and corruption. He dies without facing trial\nCitation: Harris, Bruce. Sydney, Australia. 'Augusto Pinochet Killer file'. moreorless.net.au. https://www.moreorless.net.au/killers/pinochet.html. Last updated 18 July 2018\nChile is invaded and colonised by the Spanish in the first half of the 16th Century. The country achieves full independence in 1818. During the first quarter of the 20th Century, Chile becomes one of the most stable, reformist and representative democracies in the world. Chile's economy suffers a downturn following the Second World War. The country is further destabilised in September 1970 when Salvador Allende Gossens, a Marxist standing for the Popular Unity leftist coalition and promising to extend social reforms and introduce a socialist system, is elected president. Allende has a long-standing association with the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvenoi Bezopasnosti), the Soviet Union's secret police force, and his election campaign has been heavily financed by the Soviets. More background.\nBorn on 25 November 1915 in the Pacific coastal port of Valparaiso. His father is a middle-class customs official whose family had immigrated from Brittany in northwest France in the early 18th Century. His mother is descended from immigrants from the Basque region of northern Spain. Pinochet is the oldest of six children.\n1933 - He is accepted into the Chilean Escuela Militar (military school) for a four-year officer training course. He graduates with the rank of sub-lieutenant in 1937 and is commissioned into the infantry. By 1939 he has risen to second lieutenant. He becomes a full lieutenant in 1941.\n1943 - Pinochet marries Luc\u00eda Hiriart Rodr\u00edguez, the daughter of a former member of Chile's parliament. The couple have two sons, Augusto and Marco Antonio, and three daughters, Luc\u00eda, Ver\u00f3nica and Jacqueline.\n1948 - Pinochet is in command of a prison camp for communists when he meets Salvador Allende for the first time. Allende, a doctor and Socialist senator, had travelled to the camp to visit the prisoners.\n1949 - Pinochet studies at the Academia de Guerra (War Academy). He is designated a general staff officer in 1951 and transferred to the Escuela Militar in a supervisory role. He also teaches classes at the War Academy. Between 1953 and 1972 he authors five books on geopolitics, geography and military history.\n1953 - Pinochet is transferred for two years field duty with the Rancagua regiment in Arica on the northern coastal border with Peru. Here he is involved in a military clampdown on the Communist Party of Chile, commanding a detention camp and disbanding local communist unions.\n1955 - He returns to the War Academy in Santiago as a professor and begins to study law at the University of Chile, though his studies are suspended the following year when he is sent to Ecuador to help organise a military mission. During 1956 he also serves as a military attach\u00e9 in Washington.\n1959 - Pinochet returns to Chile from Ecuador late in the year and in 1960 is made commander of the Esmeralda regiment. In 1963 he is named as a subdirector of the War Academy. In 1966 he is made a colonel.\n1968 - He is promoted to brigadier-general and named as commander-in-chief of the 6th division, headquartered in Iquique in the north of the country.\n1970 - Following Salvador Allende's victory in the Chilean presidential vote, United States President Richard M. Nixon orders the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to do all it can to prevent Allende from being inaugurated.\nUnder the supervision of National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger the CIA develops the so-called Track II plan to oust Allende, allocating US$10 million while formally insulating the US embassy in Chile from any involvement.\nThe CIA attempts to bribe key Chilean legislators and funds a group of military officers plotting a coup. A further payment of US$35,000 is made following the assassination on 22 October of General Rene Schneider, the commander-in-chief of the army, who had refused to approve the coup plan.\nMeanwhile, agents from the Soviet Union begin to move into Chile in force following Allende's victory. Soviet paramilitary instructors use Chile as a base for the training of insurgents from across Latin America.\n1971 - Blaming the capitalist system for Chile's woes, Allende's Popular Unity (UP) coalition government moves quickly to socialise the economy. Foreign-controlled copper mines are fully nationalised. The government takes control of large businesses, industries, banks and rural estates. The management of many factories is turned over to the workers and the state. Salaries and wages are lifted while prices are held down. The subsequent growth in demand sees employment levels rise.\nThe socialisation program is initially popular and successful but by 1972, as the economy goes into dramatic decline, opposition to Allende and the UP government begins to escalate.\nAlready strained relations with the US are further stretched by the government's recognition of Cuba, China, North Korea and North Vietnam and by its continued cultivation of ties with the Soviet Union. The US responds by withdrawing financial assistance and blocking loans, although aid to the Chilean military is doubled.\nThe CIA continues to work covertly to destabilise the UP government, providing up to US$7 million in funding to opposition groups in order to \"create pressures, exploit weaknesses, magnify obstacles\" and hasten Allende's downfall.\nIn January Pinochet is appointed major-general and given command of the Santiago garrison. The following year he wins Allende's trust when he is able to bring some order to the capital during a general strike. \"I will not tolerate agents of chaos no matter what their political ideology,\" Pinochet says at the time.\n1972 - The government attempts to revive the economy by increasing spending. The result is hyperinflation, reaching an annual rate of more than 500%, and complete economic paralysis. Racked by internal division and external opposition, the government is unable to act.\nPinochet is named chief-major-general of the army general staff.\n1973 - Parliamentary elections held in March are inconclusive and fail to resolve the political deadlock, although the UP does increase its vote. Street demonstrations against the government become an almost daily event, with protests coming from both the left and the right. Workplace shutdowns and lockouts are also commonplace.\nThe CIA finances strikes by transport workers and shopkeepers, is implicated in the sabotage of public infrastructure, and infiltrates all of the coalition partners in the UP. Almost one third of the staff at the US embassy in Santiago are now on the CIA payroll.\nAllende promotes Pinochet to commander-in-chief of the army on 23 August, mistakenly believing that Pinochet can still be trusted to remain neutral.\nMeanwhile, members of the armed forces are finalising their plans for a coup. While it now appears that Pinochet was not involved in the planning and was not informed of it until three days before the event, when the coup is launched he is firmly in charge.\nThe military strike on 11 September, taking Santiago in a violent offensive that sees Pinochet order air raids on the Palacio de La Moneda (the presidential palace and seat of government).\nAllende kills himself before he can be captured. Many of his aides are arrested then transported to a military base, where they are executed and buried. The notorious Caravan of Death targets political opponents located in the provinces, summarily executing at least 72.\nA four-man junta headed by Pinochet and composed of the commanders-in-chief of the army, navy, air force and police is assembled. The junta takes control of the state and begins a campaign to remove the influence of the UP from all social institutions.\nA state of siege is declared, martial law is introduced and parliament is closed. The media is censored, universities are purged, books are burned, Marxist political parties are outlawed and union activities are banned. Thousands are murdered or \"disappeared\". Thousands more are jailed or forced to leave the country. Torture is commonplace. Up to one million flee into self-imposed exile. The bodies of many of the \"disappeared\" are dumped from helicopters into the Pacific Ocean as part of an organised program to hide evidence of human rights violations.\nIt is reported that up to 250,000 people are detained in the first months following the coup. Stadiums, military bases and naval vessels have to be used as short-term prisons. At least five new prison camps are established for political prisoners.\nThe newly formed secret police (National Intelligence Directorate - DINA) create a reign of terror at home and organise the assassinations of opponents in exile abroad. Civilian courts are supplanted with military tribunals.\nGeneral Manuel Contreras is placed in charge of DINA. According to Contreras, Pinochet receives daily briefings about the activities of the secret police. The US Defence Intelligence Agency also reports in 1975 that Pinochet \"issues instructions on DINA, is aware of its activities and in fact heads it\". The US embassy corroborates the report, stating that \"DINA reports directly to Pinochet and is ultimately controlled by him alone\".\nThe US quickly recognises the junta and reinstates financial aid.\n1974 - General Carlos Prats, a former Chilean military commander-in-chief who refused to join the coup then sought asylum in Argentina, is assassinated on 30 September when a bomb blows up his car in the garage of his Buenos Aires apartment building. Prats fled Chile after the coup because of his ties with Allende. The bomb is thought to have been planted by DINA on the order of Pinochet. Prats' wife, Sofia Cuthbert, is also killed in the explosion.\nPinochet takes complete control of Chile on 11 December when he is named president. Over the next 15 years he rules the country as an iron-fisted autocrat in the mode of his admired role-model, the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco.\n1975 - On 25 November the intelligence services of Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay launch Operation Condor, an information gathering and sharing alliance designed to eliminate Marxist terrorist activities in South America.\nAccording to a US Federal Bureau of Investigation officer working in Argentina at the time, \"Chile is the centre for 'Operation Condor'.\" The officer also reports that, \"A ... most secret phase of 'Operation Condor' involves the formation of special teams from member countries who are to travel anywhere in the world to non-member countries to carry out sanctions up to assassination against terrorists or supporters of terrorist organisations from 'Operation Condor' member countries.\"\nIn an attempt to repair Chile's economy, the junta introduces free-market policies, slashes welfare and reduces the size of the government. Trade barriers are removed, a central bank is established, wages are cut, income taxes are lowered and the social security system is privatised. Inflation is curbed. Property is returned to its original owners. All companies nationalised by the Allende government are returned to private ownership. Growth accelerates but unemployment stays high.\nThough the country falls into recession in 1975, growth accelerates in 1976 and remains high into the 1980s. Unemployment, however, also stays high.\n1976 - On 16 September the now Secretary of State Henry Kissinger tells US ambassadors in South America not to follow up on an earlier directive to warn the local governments against \"plans for the assassination of subversives, politicians and prominent figures both within the national borders ... and abroad\".\nFive days later, on 21 September, Orlando Letelier, a former ambassador to the US and defence minister under Allende, is assassinated in Washington by Cuban exiles operating on the orders of Pinochet's secret police. Letelier had been targeted as part of the Operation Condor alliance.\n1977 - The inauguration of Jimmy Carter as US president combined with the assassination of Letelier leads to a cooling of relations between Chile and the US. Relations between the two countries continue to decline through the administrations Ronald Reagan and George Bush.\nPinochet announces that there will be no early return to democracy. The junta alone will determine when civilian government will be reinstated. As head of state and commander-in-chief of the military he exerts absolute control over the country and ensures that his cronies control all key posts.\nMilitary officers are appointed as mayors of towns and cities throughout Chile. Former military personnel also take control of universities, purging faculties of all suspected of left-wing sympathies.\nThe state of siege is lifted and replaced with a state of emergency. The National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) is abolished and replaced by the National Information Centre.\n1978 - Pinochet allows a referendum on the legitimacy of his regime then claims that more than 75% of the voters have endorsed his rule.\nWhen the commander of the Chilean air force, Gustavo Leigh Guzm\u00e1n, calls for an early return to civilian government, Pinochet has him forcibly dismissed. Guzm\u00e1n had been one of the members of the four-man junta. His dismissal makes Pinochet's position unassailable.\nAn amnesty law is passed to protect military officers accused of human rights abuses committed since the 1973 coup.\nThe military extends its program to hide the evidence of human rights violations committed during the coup. The remains of the \"disappeared\" are exhumed and disposed of elsewhere. Many of the remains are dumped into the Pacific Ocean. Many others are burnt. The order for the clean-up comes directly from Pinochet, who threatens to \"retire\" any commander if bodies continue to be found in his jurisdiction.\n1980 - Pinochet introduces a new constitution allowing him to remain as president until 1989. The new constitution also entrenches the military's domination of the government and allows Pinochet to restrict freedom of association and speech and to arrest or exile any citizen, with no rights of appeal except to Pinochet himself.\nThe new constitution restricts the political activities of unions and community organisations. Politicians are barred from advocacy roles for such groups. Local governments are abolished. Pinochet is given the power to dissolve the House of Representatives. The constitution cannot be amended without approval from Pinochet. A plebiscite is scheduled for 1988-89 to determine if he will have an additional eight years in office. When the new constitution is ratified by a reportedly fraudulent plebiscite the Communist Party of Chile calls for armed insurrection.\n1982 - The economy flounders then goes into recession, leaving more than a third of the workforce unemployed and sparking protests against the regime. Demonstrations become more widespread during the 1980s as political parties begin to resurface.\n1984 - Pinochet declares a state of siege in November and cracks down on the demonstrators.\n\"I am a man fighting for a just cause; the fight between Christianity and spiritualism on the one hand and Marxism and materialism on the other,\" he says during the year. \"I get my strength from God.\"\n1985 - Chile's various political parties put aside their differences and unit against Pinochet's regime, signing the National Accord for Transition to Full Democracy. The accord calls for a transition to civilian rule, the legalisation of all political activity, an end to restrictions on civil liberties, and free, direct presidential elections. Pinochet rejects the document and uses a \"divide and rule\" strategy to undermine the accord.\n1986 - On 7 September an armed wing of the Communist Party stages an unsuccessful attempt on Pinochet's life. Five bodyguards are killed but Pinochet is unharmed. The assassination attempt is the final nail in the coffin of the accord and unleashes a new round of military terror against the left.\n1987 - Opposition leaders form a loose coalition to support and promote a \"no\" vote in the approaching plebiscite to determine if Pinochet will remain in office. Cooperation between the opposition parties increases to the point where they are viewed as a credible alternative to continued military rule.\nSensing he may loose the vote, Pinochet begins to plan for another coup. According to a report from the US Defence Intelligence Agency, high-ranking government officials draw up contingency plans to sabotage the plebiscite by encouraging and staging acts of violence.\n\"They hope that such violence will elicit further reprisals by the radical opposition and begin a cycle of rioting and disorder,\" the report says. \"The plans call for government security forces to intervene forcefully and, citing damage to the electoral process and balloting facilities, to declare a state of emergency. At that point, the elections would be suspended, declared invalid, and postponed indefinitely.\"\nThe plan is rejected by the Reagan administration in the US, which no longer supports Pinochet's authoritarian rule, and intelligence channels are used to warn the Chilean military \"that implementation of such a plan would seriously damage relations with the United States and utterly destroy Chile's reputation in the world\".\n1988 - The plebiscite is held on 5 October. The next day Pinochet announces his defeat. Nearly 55% of the electorate have voted to end his regime. Pinochet's dictatorship has effectively come to an end. Democracy has been restored democratically, although the political climate remains volatile as the opposition and military begin to negotiate the transition process.\nIt is later revealed that on the night of the plebiscite a \"nearly apoplectic\" Pinochet attempted to get the junta to grant him extraordinary powers to overturn the vote and have the armed forces seize the capital. The request was rejected and the vote allowed to stand.\n1989 - Constitutional reforms overwhelming ratified by a plebiscite on 30 July remove some of the more draconian provisions in the 1980 constitution. Unions and community organisations are freed to actively participate in the political process, exile is prohibited and restrictions on the process for amending the constitution are loosened. The power of the president and the executive is reduced. However, the military retain significant control of the parliament.\nElections for president and parliament are held on 14 December. They are the first elections in 19 years. Patricio Aylwin, the leader of the Christian Democrats, wins the presidency with 55% of the vote. The Coalition of Parties for Democracy, comprising 14 opposition groups, wins a majority of seats in the parliamentary vote, although not enough to offset designated senators to be appointed by Pinochet, who is to remain as commander-in-chief of the army until 1998.\nThe new government establishes the National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation to inquire into human rights abuses committed during Pinochet's rule. Its report finds the security forces were responsible for 2,115 deaths, including those of 957 detainees who disappeared. The secret police, accused of responsibility for 392 of the disappearances, is disbanded.\nPinochet dismisses the report's findings, saying that those who disappeared \"were nothing but bandits\".\nHe also warns that attempts to bring military personnel to trial for the abuses of his regime will not be tolerated. \"The day they touch one of my men, the rule of law ends,\" he declares in 1991.\n1992 - The National Corporation for Reconciliation and Reparation is formed to continue the work of the National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation. In 1996 the corporation finds the Pinochet regime responsible for the death or disappearance of 3,197 people between September 1973 and March 1990. Of these 1,102 are classified as \"disappearances\" and 2,095 as deaths.\nA later report by the National Commission on Political Prisoners and Torture estimates that 28,000 people were abused at 1,131 detention centres around the country during Pinochet's rule. The three-volume report concludes that \"torture was a policy of the state, meant to repress and terrorise the population\".\n1993 - About 600 military officers are named as having committed human rights abuses during the Pinochet regime.\nMeanwhile, Pinochet is fitted with a heart pacemaker. Along with an ongoing heart complaint he suffers from diabetes and arthritis.\nThe former chief of the Chilean secret police, Manuel Contreras, and his deputy are convicted for their role in the assassination of Orlando Letelier in Washington in 1976. Contreras receives a seven year sentence. In 1997 he claims that Pinochet had ordered the killing of Letelier.\nAccording to secret US Department of State documents that were declassified in 2015, the CIA had reached the same conclusion by 1987. In a memorandum sent to US President Ronald Reagan, then US Secretary of State George Shultz reports that the CIA concludes that its review of the assassination provides \"what we regard as convincing evidence that President Pinochet personally ordered his intelligence chief to carry out the murders\".\nSchultz also reports that the CIA review confirms that \"Pinochet decided to stonewall on the US investigation to hide his involvement\" and even considered \"the elimination of his former intelligence chief\".\nSchultz concludes \"this is a blatant example of a chief of state's direct involvement in an act of state terrorism, one that is particularly disturbing both because it occurred in our capital and since his government is generally considered to be friendly\".\nManuel Contreras is later convicted and sentenced for other assassinations and abuses committed while he was head of the secret police. He receives two life sentences for plotting the assassination of General Carlos Prats and his wife in Buenos Aires in 1974. He receives 12 years for the kidnapping and disappearance Miguel Angel Sandoval Rodr\u00edguez. He is sentenced to three years for the 1976 killing of the teacher Julia Retamal. He receives a separate 15 year sentence for his role in the 1974 disappearance of Marcelo Salinas.\nIn November 2004 he tells 'The New York Times' that Pinochet had known about and approved of all his actions.\nIn 2005 Contreras provides the Supreme Court with a 32-page document detailing the fate of almost 600 people who disappeared during Pinochet's regime. In a letter accompanying the document Contreras alleges that Pinochet personally ordered human rights violations, including the assassinations of Carlos Prats and Orlando Letelier.\n1996 - A Spanish judge rules that his court has jurisdiction in a case of international terrorism, genocide and crimes against humanity brought against Pinochet by the families of some of the victims of his regime. The charges allege that agents of the regime working under the Operation Condor alliance killed or attempted to kill individuals in the US, Argentina, Italy and other countries and cite the findings of the Chilean National Corporation for Reconciliation and Reparation.\n1998 - Pinochet steps down as commander-in-chief of the army on 10 March but becomes a senator for life. He remains immune from prosecution for his role in the human rights abuses of his regime and is given the honorary title of commander-in-chief emeritus of the Chilean Army.\nIn September Pinochet travels to Britain to undergo surgery for a back complaint, believing his immunity from prosecution stretches worldwide. However, on 16 October the British police act on a warrant issued from Spain and arrest him in his hospital bed. The warrant requests Pinochet's extradition to Spain to face charges relating to the abduction of the leader of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left from Argentina in April 1976. The abduction had been coordinated between the military regimes of Argentina and Chile under the Operation Condor alliance.\nA famous and lengthy court case follows during which Pinochet is held under house arrest at the Wentworth estate in Surrey. The British High Court initially rules in Pinochet's favour but on 25 November the House of Lords upholds the extradition request, a decision that is ratified the following month by British Home Secretary Jack Straw. Pinochet's legal team appeal.\n1999 - In March the High Court rejects the appeal. The home secretary again ratifies the extradition request. Pinochet's team launches a further appeal but in October this is also rejected.\n2000 - On 11 January the home secretary reverses the decision to extradite Pinochet after a panel of doctors finds Pinochet medically unfit to stand trial. Pinochet is released on 2 March and allowed to return to Chile. He has spent 503 days under house arrest. But he is not yet free of the law.\nOn 8 August the Chilean Supreme Court rules to lift Pinochet's immunity from prosecution so he can be charged with 18 of the kidnappings and 57 of the executions carried out during the Caravan of Death that followed the 1973 coup. The efforts to prove that he is medically unfit for trial are renewed.\n2001 - Chilean Judge Juan Guzm\u00e1n Tapia questions Pinochet on the circumstances surrounding the Caravan of Death. It is the first time the former dictator has been legally called to account for the human rights abuses of his regime.\nPinochet is charged and placed under house arrest in his Santiago mansion on 30 January. He is released on bail on 11 April. On 9 July Chile's Appeals Court rules that Pinochet is mentally unfit for trial due to dementia.\n2002 - In June Judge Guzm\u00e1n announces that extradition proceedings may be launched against Henry Kissinger in an attempt to force him to travel to Chile and appear before a judicial investigation into CIA involvement in the coup. The investigation is seeking to determine whether US officials passed the names of suspected left-wing Americans to Chilean military authorities - the existence of such a list having been verified by declassified documents.\nKissinger is wanted for questioning about circumstances surrounding the abduction and murder of US journalist Charles Horman shortly after the 1973 coup. Horman, whose story was later dramatised in the film 'Missing', had been investigating the death of General Rene Schneider, the former commander-in-chief of the Chilean Army who was assassinated in 1970 after refusing to endorse a military coup against the Allende government.\nOn 1 July Chile's Supreme Court reaffirms that Pinochet cannot be put of trial because of his ill-health. Judge Guzm\u00e1n is ordered to halt his Caravan of Death case against the former dictator. Three days later Pinochet resigns as senator for life, formally ending his political career. According to his son, Pinochet made his decision \"as a contribution to social peace in Chile\". Pinochet had not attended the Senate since 1998.\nPinochet's letter of resignation states that his health prevents him from properly carrying out his duties as a senator. His withdrawal from public life has been made with a \"clean conscience\". Though \"there still remain too many passions\" to expect \"a verdict that is objective, serene and, above all, fair\", history would honour his \"soldierly sacrifice\".\n2003 - In a rare interview broadcast by the Miami-based Spanish language television station WDLP-22 on 24 November, Pinochet says he has no regrets about his time in power and refuses to apologise for the abuses of his regime.\n\"I never aspired to be a dictator because ... I considered that to be a dictator would end badly,\" Pinochet says. \"I always acted in a democratic way. ... Who shall I ask to be pardoned by? They say I should ask for forgiveness, what shall I ask to be forgiven for? ... I feel like an angel. I have no resentment.\"\nPinochet says he is writing an autobiography titled 'Caminos Recorridos' (The Roads I Have Travelled) and reveals that he has drafted a letter to be released after his death which will describe \"the truth\" of what happened.\n\"I am a man who does not carry any hate in his heart,\" Pinochet says. \"I don't want future generations to think badly of me. I want them to know what really happened.\"\nFollowing the broadcast, Chilean lawyers announce they will resume their efforts to have Pinochet prosecuted for human rights abuses, saying the interview indicated the former dictator is medically fit to stand trial.\n2004 - On 14 July the US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations releases a report into the Washington-based Riggs Bank that finds that from 1994 to 2002 the bank helped Pinochet hide US$4-8 million in multiple accounts and two offshore shell companies.\nAccording to the report, Riggs \"served as a long-standing personal banker for Mr Pinochet and deliberately assisted him in the concealment and movement of his funds while he was under investigation (in Britain) and the subject of a worldwide court order freezing his assets\".\nThe report also cites a Riggs client profile estimating Pinochet's entire fortune at between US$50 million and US$100 million.\nFurther investigations by the US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations reveal that over the span of a quarter of a century Pinochet hid at least US$15 million in more than 125 secret bank accounts around the world.\nAs well as the Riggs bank, accounts were opened at Citigroup, Coutts & Co., Bank of America, Banco de Chile and Espirito Santo Bank of Miami. Other banks were also involved. The accounts were used to move funds from holding companies to personal accounts and to transfer cash to Chile.\nChile's State Defence Council begins an investigation into the origins of Pinochet's fortune. The council comes to suspect that some of the money came from kick-backs from European weapons manufacturers. The suspicions are confirmed when 'The Guardian' newspaper reveals that Britain's biggest arms company, BAE Systems, had made secret payments to Pinochet totalling over US$2 million.\nAnother possible explanation of the source of some of Pinochet's wealth surfaces in July 2006 when the former chief of the Chilean secret police, Manuel Contreras, claims that Pinochet was involved in the manufacture, smuggling and sale of cocaine during the 1980s. According to 'The New York Times', Contreras also accused Pinochet of \"embezzling money from secret government accounts\".\nChilean lawyers file criminal charges against Pinochet for fraud, bribery, money laundering and other financial crimes. A judicial investigation is also opened to determine if Pinochet was involved in tax fraud and the misappropriation of funds. It is thought that Pinochet may have evaded as much as US$17 million in taxes over the years.\nOn 26 August the Supreme Court rules that Pinochet's immunity from prosecution should be lifted for a case concerning the disappearance of 19 leftists in the mid-1970s during Operation Condor. The decision opens the possibility that Pinochet may finally go to trial for the human rights abuses of his regime.\nOn 25 September Judge Guzm\u00e1n questions Pinochet about his role in the Operation Condor disappearances. It is only the second time Pinochet has been legally called to account for the human rights abuses of his regime.\nAccording to media reports following the questioning, Pinochet tells the judge that he has no knowledge of the disappearances and claims that mid-level military officers coordinated Operation Condor.\nOn 13 December Judge Guzm\u00e1n declares that Pinochet is fit to stand trial and charges him with nine counts of kidnapping and one of murder arising out of the Operation Condor case.\nAccording to Judge Guzm\u00e1n, while Pinochet \"is very physically deteriorated ... he has coherence in his psychological capacity and he understands questions (and) gives appropriate answers\".\nPinochet's lawyers promptly appeal the ruling, first in the Santiago Appeals Court and then in the Supreme Court.\nPinochet is admitted to Santiago Army Hospital on 18 December for treatment of what is described as a \"minor stroke\". He remains in hospital for four days. Five months later, on 19 May 2005, he returns to the hospital after suffering a mild stroke. He is released after five hours. He returns to hospital on 21 June 2005 after losing consciousness for 30 minutes. He is released the following day.\n2005 - On 4 January the Supreme Court upholds the Operation Condor charges against Pinochet, clearing the way for his possible trial. However, Pinochet's fitness to face court remains under dispute. In June an Appeals Court panel finds he is too senile to defend himself effectively. It again becomes unlikely that a trial will proceed.\nOn 20 January the Supreme Court gives Judge Sergio Munoz permission to search for secret international bank accounts held by Pinochet. According to Judge Munoz, the former dictator's fortune could amount to US$15 million. Judge Munoz later raises the estimate to US$27 million.\nIn September 2009 Judge Manuel Valderrama puts an exact value on the figure, saying that shortly before his death the accounts of Pinochet and his family totalled US$25,978,602.79. The University of Chile estimates that less than 10% of this amount could have been sourced from Pinochet's military salary.\nPinochet explains the foreign accounts by saying that \"for reasons of prudence, because I knew I would be the target of persecution and political harassment, I delivered to professional international institutions the savings of my entire life. If some tax difference occurred, my advisers have paid every thing that was owed.\"\nJudge Munoz accuses Pinochet of corruption, falsifying documents, tax fraud and money laundering and asks the Appeals Court to remove his immunity from prosecution so the charges can be brought to trial. Chile's tax agency also promises to pursue tax fraud charges against Pinochet, even if he pays his back taxes. Pinochet does pay about US$2 million in back taxes during the year.\nOn 7 June the Appeals Court removes Pinochet's immunity from prosecution for tax evasion charges relating to the former dictator's secret foreign bank accounts. Pinochet is accused of not paying US$9.2 million in taxes from 1984 to 2004. If convicted he could face up to five years in jail.\nFurther charges of corruption are laid against Pinochet during the year. In November he is charged with evading US$2.4 million in taxes, using four false passports to open overseas bank accounts, submitting a false government document to a foreign bank and filing a false report on his assets. In December the Santiago Appeals Court removes his immunity from prosecution for charges that he diverted US$2 million from the presidential office to personal accounts overseas.\nOn 6 July Pinochet loses his immunity from prosecution for charges relating to the misrepresentation and cover-up of the deaths of between 20 and 119 rebels from the Revolutionary Leftist Movement in 1975. The execution of the leftists and subsequent cover-up was known at the time as Operation Colombo.\nOn 24 November Pinochet is placed under house arrest on charges relating to the disappearance of six dissidents during Operation Colombo. On 5 December these charges are expanded to cover the disappearances of a further three dissidents. Pinochet remains under house arrest for seven weeks.\nOn 28 December Pinochet is formally booked by the Chilean police for the disappearance of all nine Operation Colombo dissidents. He is fingerprinted and has identification photographs taken from the front and side for a police file.\nOn 17 November 'The Guardian' newspaper publishes extracts from a record of interview between Pinochet and the prosecutor for the Operation Colombo case, Judge Victor Montiglio.\nAsked about the killing of civilians during his regime Pinochet says, \"I suffer for these losses, but God does the deeds; he will pardon me if I exceeded in some, which I don't think.\"\nOn his decision to stage the 1973 coup he says, \"Everything that I did, all that I carried out, all the problems I had, I dedicate to God, all this I dedicate to Chile because this permitted that the country was not communist and arose as it is today.\"\nPinochet denies he was in command of the DINA secret police force. \"I don't remember (the chain of command), but it is not true,\" he says.\nMeanwhile, the final constitutional vestiges of the Pinochet regime are removed on 13 July when the Chilean Senate passes reforms that cut the presidential term from six years to four and remove parliamentary privileges granted to the military. The Senate becomes a wholly elected institution. The president's power to remove the commanders of the armed forces is restored and military influence over the legal system is eliminated.\n2006 - The new year sees no let up in the legal pursuit of Pinochet. On 11 January the Santiago Appeals Court removes the former dictator's immunity from prosecution for charges related to the killing of two of Salvador Allende's bodyguards during the Caravan of Death that followed the 1973 coup.\nOn 31 August Pinochet is formally questioned by Judge Alejandro Solis about the assassination of General Carlos Prats and his wife in Buenos Aires in 1974.\nOn 18 August the Supreme Court lifts Pinochet's immunity from prosecution for a corruption case related to his secret overseas bank accounts.\nOn 8 September Pinochet loses his immunity for charges relating to human rights abuses carried out at the Villa Grimaldi prison in the south of Santiago between 1974 and 1977. Villa Grimaldi, which was run by the secret police, was a notorious torture centre.\nIn October Pinochet is questioned by Judge Solis about Villa Grimaldi but denies any knowledge of the activities there. At the end of the month he is detained under house arrest over the Villa Grimaldi charges.\nPinochet celebrates his 91st birthday on 25 November. To mark the event a statement is read on his behalf by his wife.\n\"Today, near the end of my days, I want to say that I harbour no rancour against anybody, that I love my fatherland above all and that I take political responsibility for everything that was done which had no other goal than making Chile greater and avoiding its disintegration,\" Pinochet's statement says.\n\"I assume full political responsibility for what happened. ... I will gladly withstand all the humiliation, persecution and injustices my family and I have suffered in the name of peace and harmony, which should reign among Chileans. ...\n\"I am absolutely certain that tomorrow, once the political passions and resentments are ended, history will judge our work objectively and will recognise that we put Chile on top of the nations in our continent.\"\nOn 27 November Pinochet is placed under house arrest on charges relating to the killing of two of Salvador Allende's bodyguards.\nSix days later, on 3 December, he suffers an acute heart attack and is admitted to the Santiago Military Hospital. He dies from heart failure at 2:15 p.m. on Sunday, 10 December.\nPinochet is denied a state funeral. His body lies in state at the Santiago Military Academy before being cremated on 12 December. His ashes are placed inside the chapel of a private family estate outside Santiago. No heads of state attend the military ceremony to mark his passing.\nThe former dictator speaks from the grave on 24 December when a six-page letter he had written in 2004 is released to the public.\n\"How I wish the 11 September, 1973, military action had not been necessary!\" the letter says. \"How I wish the Marxist-Leninist ideology had not entered our fatherland!\"\n\"It was necessary to act with maximum rigour to avoid a widening of the conflict. ...\n\"It was necessary to implement certain procedures of military control, such as temporary imprisonment, authorised exile, executions by firing squad after military trials. ...\n\"Serious conflicts are like that and always will be: They give rise to abuses and exaggerations. ...\n\"As long as ideological and armed fanaticism continued to endanger stability, we could not lower our arms. ...\n\"With all sincerity I can say that I am proud of the enormous action which I had to undertake to stop Marxist-Leninism assuming total power. ... Nevertheless, if the experience was to repeat itself, I wish I had a greater wisdom. ...\n\"I have left no room for hatred in my heart.\"\n\"My destiny is a kind of banishment and loneliness that I would have never imagined, much less wanted.\"\nUnder the economic paradigms of today the Allende government appears dubious at best and would be brought to its knees by market forces alone. Similar stresses were placed on the government at the time - the flight of capital and the blocking of aid and loans - and it is quite possible that Allende would have been removed democratically if a scheduled vote for the presidency had been allowed to proceed.\nBut, placing such \"what ifs\" aside, Allende and his government were the rightful albeit minority incumbents in a robust democratic system and it is shameful that they were removed in a way that not only broke the social contract but also jeopardised the system itself. It is a credit to Chile that democratic norms have since been restored.\nThe culprits in the tragedy were, as is so often the case in Latin America, the US Government and the local military, headed by a despotic strongman. While the US may have grudgingly recognised its responsibility, Pinochet went to his grave convinced of his blamelessness.\nIt is consoling to know that he lived to see his humiliation at home and abroad as well as the gradual dismantling of the safeguards he so carefully put in place to ensure that he and his cronies would never be brought to justice let alone charged. At the time of his death over 300 cases had been filed against Pinochet.\n\"At the end he was surrounded by lawyers who tried to defend the indefensible,\" observed Isabel Allende, the Chilean novelist and relative of Salvador Allende. \"I would have preferred for the courts to have finished their work. I wish there had been a conviction and a sentence.\"\nIn her book 'My Invented Country' Isabel Allende asks, \"Who was Pinochet, really? Why was he so feared? Why was he admired?\"\nShe answers, \"He was a crude, cold, slippery, authoritarian man who had no scruples or sense of loyalty other than to the army as an institution - though not to his comrades in arms, who he had killed according to his convenience, men such as General Carlos Prats and others. He believed that he was chosen by God and history to save his country. He was astute and suspicious, but he could be genial, and, at times, even likeable. Admired by some, despised by others, feared by all, he was possibly the man in our history who has held the greatest power in his hands for the longest period of time.\"\nChile - A Country Study - Library of Congress Country Studies Series",

        "raw_content": "Types of Loans for Veterans\nWe have many types of VA loans. We'll make sure to match you with the correct loan for your unique situation.\nFixed Rate VA Loan\nA fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) is a type of mortgage characterized by an interest rate which does not change over the life of the loan. Here at Mortgage Network, we offer 15 and 30 year FRM terms. A 30-year FRM is simply a fixed rate mortgage that continues for 30 years.\nA 15 Year Fixed Rate Mortgage is a loan with the same interest rate and monthly payment over the 15 year life of the loan. You generally pay a lower interest rate, pay less interest over the life of the loan, and build equity more quickly with a 15 year loan than with a loan carrying a longer term.\nWe have loan amounts available for most needs and can range from Conforming to High Balance.\nAdjustable Rate VA Loan (ARM)\nAn Adjustable rate loan is a home loan that adjust its interest rate periodically during the life of the loan based on changes in the index. The 5-1 hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (5-1 hybrid ARM) is an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) with an initial five-year fixed-interest rate, followed by a rate that adjusts on an annual basis.\nStreamline Refinance (known as IRRRL)\nIRRRL stands for Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan. You may also see it referred to as a \u201cVA Streamline\u201d. It is used to refinance an existing VA guaranteed loan to reduce the interest rate or to refinance from an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) to a fixed rate mortgage (FRM).\nBorrowers refinancing an existing VA home loan through this streamline program may have a lower funding fee than they would pay under other VA loan options. The fee is generally 0.5% of the total loan amount and can be added to the loan balance.\nThe Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) program helps homebuyers or homeowners save money on utility bills by enabling them to finance the cost of adding energy efficiency features to new or existing housing as part of their FHA or VA insured home purchase or refinancing mortgage with 15 or 30 year terms.\nEEMs provide mortgage insurance for a person to purchase or refinance a principal residence and incorporate the cost of energy efficient improvements into the mortgage. The borrower does not have to qualify for the additional money and does not make a down payment on it.\nEEM\u2019s are loans to cover the cost of making energy efficiency improvements to a dwelling.\nUp to $3,000, based solely on the documented costs\nUp to $6,000, provided the increase in monthly mortgage payment does not exceed the likely reduction in monthly utility costs\nMore than $6,000 is subject to a value determination by VA",

        "raw_content": "Home / Archives / Moviemaking / Screenwriting / Matters of Fact: Seven Keys to Writing Historical Fiction From the Screenwriter of Pilgrimage\nSince Pilgrimage, I\u2019ve written a bunch more scripts, four of which are also based in historical settings. So I\u2019m uniquely qualified to say that if you don\u2019t follow this set of ironclad commandments that you must follow your script will never be read\u2014nah, I\u2019m making this stuff up as I go along.\nEvery script\u2014especially ones taking place in a period setting\u2014have their own unique and specific problems, and every time I finish a draft I feel like I\u2019ve learned something new. What follows are some guidelines that might be useful in the researching and writing of historical scripts. If you disagree, feel free to shout at me at the internet because that\u2019s what the internet is there for*.\n1. Get Real (Maybe)\nI should point out from the start that Pilgrimage is not based on a real person or real events, which puts it in the minority of historical films out there. Don\u2019t get me wrong: Writing about real-life characters carries many obvious advantages. There\u2019s the instant brand recognition that might snare an unwary producer\u2019s ear (\u201cWell, I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m interested in a 15th-century French farmer\u2019s daughter who has a religious epiphany\u2026 Wait, you say her name is Joan of Arc?!\u201d) and the simple fact that half the work is already done for you (\u201cShe\u2019s born, leads an army against the English and is burnt at the stake. Done!\u201d). So, all you have to do is fill in the bits in-between\u2026\nThe trouble is that the lives of real people (even famous ones) rarely fit snugly into the confines of a hundred-page screenplay. Even if you do decide go the Lincoln or Steve Jobs route, (focusing on a small segment of their life to better illustrate the whole) you\u2019re going to find yourself combining characters and fudging dates in order to make the narrative flow a little better. Perhaps you\u2019ll need to invent a dilemma in order to justify a controversial decision. Or, maybe you\u2019ll need to take a radical new angle on the subject matter in order to keep the producer\u2019s attention (\u201cSo here\u2019s the twist\u2026 What if Joan is actually\u2026 John?!\u201d)\u2026 and maybe, just maybe, the whole thing will work.\n2. Where\u2019s Your Yojimbo?\nIn Pilgrimage, our only real-life character gets stoned to death in the opening prologue. But take that with a pinch of salt, because there\u2019s no consensus that the guy (Saint Matthias, the 13th apostle, chosen to replace Judas after the betrayal of Christ) was ever martyred, let alone if it happened in as brutal a manner as our film makes out. In fact, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find concrete evidence that the guy even existed at all. Which is just fine, because as I already pointed out, Pilgrimage is not based on a real-life person or event, but on the rambling thoughts of a 10-year-old Irish boy who was watching Akira Kurosawa\u2019s Yojimbo when he started wondering, \u201cHey, why don\u2019t we have films like that set in Ireland?\u201d\nA scene from Pilgrimage. Photograph courtesy of RLJ Entertainment and Kris Dewitte\nMost Irish historical fiction tends to focus on the last 150 years, most notably the struggle for independence against the British Empire. Nothing wrong with that. Lots of great stories have come out of it. But the 10-year-old Irish boy (spoiler: it was me) had this vague notion of setting a story during one of those long centuries of silence, back when people\u2019s loyalty was to their clan or king rather than any newfangled idea of a nation or a country. I wanted to see a place I had never seen on-screen before.\nOf course, the problem with doing that is that you have to build that place from the ground up. With Pilgrimage, I didn\u2019t start with a specific historical event or character. I had some vague story elements I wanted to use\u2014a mute warrior, a young novice, Norman knights, a journey, an ambush in a forest, a holy relic\u2014but nothing concrete. So, I went through a lot of books about medieval Irish history, getting more specific as the backbone of the story (a group of monks unwillingly transporting a holy relic from A to B) gradually revealed itself.\n3. Cast Your Net Wide\nI\u2019ve written several period scripts since then, but I\u2019ve kept the same approach to research: Cast your first net wide. You need to know about the 100 years preceding your story, even if your characters don\u2019t. You need to know what kings or popes or emperors or presidents are in power around the world, even if your characters don\u2019t. Don\u2019t get too bogged down with specific dates and figures (you can always go back and track down specific dates and facts). What you\u2019re trying to do is absorb the feeling of the time period you\u2019re writing about.\nThe analogy of research as mining is unoriginal, but apt. You dig down further and further, hoping for rare gems, but generally finding the same details you found near the surface. This is part of the process: absorbing the bare facts of your chosen era over and over again. You\u2019ll read about the same event from conflicting perspectives and this, too, is part of the process: gaining viewpoints that challenge and contradict your own previously held assumptions. You\u2019ll find yourself getting sidetracked by new information and sliding into mission-creep. This, too, is\u2026 well, you get the idea. My readings started with medieval Ireland, but ended up encompassing the Albigensian Crusade, the Sack of Constantinople and the history of Christian Church, among many other topics.\n(L-R) John Lynch as Brother Ciaran The Herbalist, Richard Armitage as Raymond De Merville, Eric Godon as Baron de Merville and Ga\u00eb\u00ebtan Wenders as Sir Founier in Pilgrimage\nIf all of this sounds like preparing for a thesis\u2026 Well, that\u2019s exactly what it is. And if you\u2019re serious about it, it\u2019s going chew up time, legwork and/or money. The internet is great for surface skimming, but the really interesting details tend to be lurking in libraries, second-hand bookshops and, of course, museums. Naturally, first-hand sources are always invaluable, if only to hear an echo of the time you\u2019re writing about, but take everything with a pinch of salt! If I based Pilgrimage solely on Gerald of Wales\u2019 1187 bestseller, The History & Topography of Ireland, the background of the film would have looked like Narnia, complete with werewolves, demons, headless grasshoppers and fish with golden-teeth.\n4. A Bucket of Eels\nDates and facts are relatively easy things to pin down, but they tend to be the least useful details for screenwriters. For us, the most important thing is getting a tactile feeling of how these people lived, what they had for breakfast, what they did for fun, what they prayed to at night\u2026 You want to try and build up an idea of what their daily life was like, even if 90 percent of that will end up as supplemental material for the props and costume department.\nIn one out-of-print book in the Trinity College Library, I read about how certain medieval Irish travelers (wanting a ready supply of fresh fish to hand) would carry small buckets of water filled with eels, nailed shut. It\u2019s a tiny detail, but immediately I could see the opening of a campfire scene in my head: A bucket is cracked open and a wriggling eel is brought out into the light, skewered and roasted\u2026 and it\u2019s absolutely normal.\nSadly (if somewhat inevitably), that tiny detail was cut from the shooting script. But it had done its job and given me a way into the sounds and smells of the scene. Keep digging and sooner or later, you\u2019ll find that nugget that allows you\u2014however briefly\u2014to see the world of your film from the same level as your characters.\n(L-R) Stanley Weber as Brother Geraldus The Cistercian and Tom Holland as Brother Diarmuid The Novice in Pilgrimage\n5. Verbal Seeds\nI wrote mini-biographies for most of the main characters in Pilgrimage because, as mentioned above, the era and setting of the story hasn\u2019t been put on-screen before. You try to explain as much of the world of the film as possible through the script, but there will inevitably be scenes where recent historical events are referenced (if only in passing) and additional background information is needed for production.\nEarly on in the film, Norman knight Raymond de Merville (Richard Armitage) is trying to get a reaction out of the Mute lay-brother (Jon Bernthal) escorting the monks. He mentions crusades and Constantinople while the Mute listens in silence. Now, even though very little details are given, the characters need to know what they\u2019re talking about\u2026 which means that the actors need to know what they\u2019re talking about\u2026 which means the director needs to know what they\u2019re talking about\u2026 which, of course, means you need to know what you\u2019re talking about. Hence the need for mini-biographies.\nBut this doesn\u2019t mean that you have to show off your homework. Nothing pulls you out of a film like a character turning to another and spouting exposition along the lines of: \u201cAs you know, the Empress Maude has been fighting for control of England against her cousin Stephen de Blois since the death of the King\u2019s heir in the White Ship disaster of 1120\u2026\u201d People don\u2019t talk like that now and almost certainly didn\u2019t talk about back then\u2014whenever \u201cthen\u201d happens to be.\nThere\u2019s a great throwaway line in Escape From New York (William Gibson cites it as an influence for his novel Neuromancer) where someone says to Snake Plissken: \u201cYou flew the Gullfire over Leningrad, didn\u2019t you?\u201d Neither the Gullfire or Leningrad are mentioned again, but those eight, enigmatic words imply a much larger world lurking beyond the frame of the camera. A line like this is a seed that grows quietly outward, hinting at backstories and misdeeds and adventures that exist only in the minds of the viewer+.\n6. Accuracy Versus Authenticity\nThe moment you write that first scene heading (in the first draft of Pilgrimage, it was \u201cEXT. BEACH\u2014DAWN\u201d) you\u2019re inventing a unique universe that exists solely for that film. Think of the Amazon river of Aguirre, The Wrath of God. The Australian outback of The Proposition. The Chicago of The Untouchables. Accuracy is a laudable aim for a screenwriter, but one that is always going to be superseded by drama\u00b1. Those examples I mentioned might not be 100 percent historically accurate, but they are authentic as hell to the universe they exist in.\nFrom early discussions with Brendan Muldowney (the director of Pilgrimage) we knew we wanted to use different languages to highlight the subtle divisions and alliances that existed between the monks, Gaelic clans and Norman knights. As using the precise historical languages spoken in Ireland in 1209 would have been a logistical (not to mention financial) impossibility, a compromise was found.\n(L-R) Tom Holland as Brother Diarmuid The Novice, Richard Armitage as Raymond De Merville and Jon Bernthal as The Mute in Pilgrimage\nLatin was probably the closest thing to a common tongue at the time, so it seemed logical to turn that into English. Medieval Irish became Modern Irish, (albeit with a Galway accent, not that many international viewers will know the difference!) and the old Anglo-Norman spoken by the Normans was turned into modern French. It\u2019s not necessarily accurate, but it is authentic to the world we were trying to create.\n7. Surviving History\nNo matter when your film is set, always remember that your characters are living in their present. Their future doesn\u2019t exist yet, so be wary making them too prescient about the world that is to come (unless of course, you\u2019ve got a good narrative reason to do so). Throughout the development of Pilgrimage, I ended my pitches with the reminder that the film was about characters who were less concerned with making history than they were in surviving it. I was rather happy with how this rolled off the tongue until I read Homage to Catalonia and realised that George Orwell had said the same thing\u2014and far more poetically\u201480 years beforehand:\n(L-R) Jon Bernthal as The Mute and Tom Holland as Brother Diarmuid The Novice in Pilgrimage\n\u201c\u2026 When you are taking part in events like (The Spanish Civil War) you are, I suppose, in a small way, making history and you ought by rights to feel like an historical character. But you never do, because at such times the physical details always outweigh everything else\u2026 What I was chiefly thinking about was not the rights and wrongs of this miserable internecine scrap, but simply the discomfort and boredom of sitting day and night on that intolerable roof, and the hunger which was growing worse and worse\u2026\u201d\nFor most people throughout history, their main concern was food, shelter and surviving until the end of the week. This is true today as it ever was, and should be kept in mind when you start writing your historical epic. In many ways, people were just the same as they are now. They put their pants on one leg at a time. Except maybe they weren\u2019t pants. Now there\u2019s a starting point for your research.^\n* Which isn\u2019t to say I\u2019ll actually listen, because that\u2019s also what the internet is there for.\n+ Needless to say, having tremendously-gifted actors like Jon Bernthal and Richard Armitage helps.\n\u00b1 Another reason I prefer using real-life people as supporting characters rather than protagonists: It gives you more room to play around with the story without making extraneous historical errors.\n^ To the best of my knowledge, medieval Irish monks probably wore a light woollen tunic under their heavier robes, known as \u201cscapulars.\u201d MM\nPilgrimage opens in select cinemas and VOD from August 11, 2017, courtesy of RLJ Entertainment.

All monks wore shirts beneath their habits. Usually (on the continent) they were of linen and served as underwear. They had long sleeves and came to about mid calve. The scapular, however, is narrow strip of woollen cloth with a hole in the middle to let the head through, which served as protection of the habit, a sort of pinny, and an extra layer to sit on f.i. hard, cold stone.",

        "raw_content": "Home / CELEBRITY NEWS / TALK OF THE TOWN / Sean Penn in a Badass Action Hero Role in \u201cTHE GUNMAN\u201d\nSean Penn in a Badass Action Hero Role in \u201cTHE GUNMAN\u201d\nRavenfox13 9:53:00 AM CELEBRITY NEWS, TALK OF THE TOWN\nVeering away from formulaic action thrillers known to audiences worldwide, Sean Penn and director Pierre Morel (\u201cTaken\u201d) amps and reinvigorates the action genre in the upcoming badass movie \u201cThe Gunman.\u201d\n\u201cThe Gunman\u201d apart from being helmed by Morel, known for launching the highly-acclaimed \u201cTaken\u201d franchise which made Liam Neeson a worldwide badass action hero, is also written by Peter Travis, Don McPherson and Sean Penn.\nPenn takes on the role of Jim Terrier in \u201cThe Gunman,\u201d an ex-special forces government contractor who is hailed as the best in his league but also bears a questionable past. Now working as a humanitarian with an NGO trying to make a better life and redeem himself. But Jim\u2019s past soon catches up when associates from his past come back to hunt and kill him.\nBased on the acclaimed French novel, \u201cThe Prone Gunman\u201d written in the eightees by Jean-Patrick Manchette, the producers were attracted by the aura of action-focused film noir where men like Jim exist. \u201cThe book had the basics of a classic thriller and although the script brings the action up to date, there is grounding in reality. I\u2019m not interested in Superman. I like to work with human beings, with their flaws. Terrier is real, and he has limitations,\u201d notes director Morel.\nAbout his lead actor, Morel says, \u201cOften, action films lack deep thoughtful characters but Sean\u2019s body of work is so interesting that casting him immediately makes the story more dense. Once actors of his stature decide to engage in this genre, like Liam Neeson in \u2018Taken,\u2019 they want to do things for themselves. They want to go all the way for the character, and I encourage this. I don\u2019t think an audience can be fooled any more. Sean trained for hours every day, from preproduction throughout the shoot, and that adds another layer of intensity to the role.\u201d\nPenn who has devoted time to humanitarian works especially in Haiti says that \u201cThe Gunman\u201d is a very human story, \u201cThe territory that the story inhabits is a pretty high octane environment. You are taking someone coming out of the elite forces, basically a high performing athlete who has had a career full of hits, and putting him into another league to do it all again as a contractor, or mercenary, when he retires from the forces. What happens next is inherently interesting and can be very moving. I\u2019ve met people like Jim, conflicted characters on the front line, and that informs the dialogue and the action. We have a whole new breed of war heroes who go on to continue in the same line of work, outside the forces,\u201d shares Penn.\n\u201cThe Gunman is full of things you\u2019ve never seen before. I always like to do things that are fresh and original,\u201d says producer Andrew Rona. \u201cThis has romance, and an action character pulled back into a world he has left. It is full of twists and turns. A good story, good characters, a strong movie star surrounded by an interesting cast, a good director, a talented crew and a great city,\u201d concludes Rona of \u201cThe Gunman.\u201d\nPrepare for this year\u2019s unique action movie to open this year when \u201cThe Gunman\u201d opens March 18 in cinemas across the Phils. from OctoArts Films International.",

        "raw_content": "Everything You Never Knew About Montreal's Biosphere - MTL Blog\nEverything You Never Knew About Montreal's Biosphere\nLike how that fire started.\n@Collections Canada\nMichael D'Alimonte \u00b7 March 23, 2016\nAll too often we hear people use the term \"Biodome\" and \"Biosphere\" interchangeably, unaware that the two are entirely different buildings. But they are, and the latter has actually played a pretty large part of Montreal's more recent history, even if most people don't realize it.\nWith a story rooted in Expo 67, and intrinsically tied to America (of all things), the Biosphere has a history that's more dynamic than most people think. Having survived major fires, ice storms, and several closures and re-openings, the Biosphere has seen its fair share of hardships.\nSee what I mean in the brief rundown of Biosphere below.\nhttps://youtu.be/EFcAIoU0eMY\nOriginally, It Was The United States Pavilion At Expo 67\nHoping to wow the world with their pavilion at the 1967 World Fair, otherwise known as Montreal's Expo 67, the United States employed the brilliant mind of Buckminster Fuller to design their national construct at the event. Fuller's creation stood two hundred feet high; an enclosed dome of steel covered by 1,900 acrylic panels. Heralded as an architectural wonder, the American Pavilion turned out to be the most popular of all pavilions at Expo 67, attracting more than five million visitors. An eclectic collection of American culture and exhibits were housed within the steel dome, and the video above can offer you a peek inside.\nPhoto cred - collections canada\nAnd It Housed The World's Longest Escalator\nOne rather exciting/interesting aspect of the U.S. pavilion at Expo 67 was its incredibly long escalator, measuring out to be a full thirty-seven metres. At the time, it was the longest escalator ever built. Adding to the cool-but-mildly-over-the-top features of the pavilion was a miniature monorail that traveled through the complex.\nPhoto cred - JoeInSouthernCA\nThe Biosphere Was A Gift From America\nKind of funny to think of the nation that is the United States giving a gift to Montreal, but that's exactly what happened on July 20th of 1967, when the good ol' US of A announced it would be donating its pavilion to our city. The building now known as the Biosphere then became the official property of Montreal on January 31, 1968, at precisely 11:59pm.\nPhoto cred - alexandermensa\nIt Used To Be A Giant Flower Display\nFor a while, the Biosphere was left untouched, as the original American pavilion displays and exhibits were still housed within the metallic dome. During that rather long stretch of years, the building would serve as an annual \"multi-storied display of flora and fauna by the Botanical Garden,\u201d as noted by the Lewiston Journal in 1980.\nPhoto cred - collectionscanada\nThe Biosphere's Burnt To A Crisp\nYou may have seen the pictures before, but what caused the Biosphere to catch aflame on May 20th of 1976? Well, it wasn't anything all that interesting, as the fire was started by welding work being performed on the acrylic covering of the dome. Within half an hour, the entire acrylic exterior of the Biosphere caught fire, a feature that was never fully repaired. And for years afterwards, the Biosphere remained unused, a mere relic of times passed.\nPhoto cred - aquigabo!\nThen Got Frozen Over\nBecause Mother Nature likes to keep things balanced, almost twenty years after the fire the Biosphere was torn about by an opposing element, namely ice. If you were in Montreal in the late 90s, then you could probably guess what caused the damage (answer: the Ice Storm of 98) that led to the complex being shut down (this was after it reopened, but more on that in a sec) for five whole months.\nPhoto cred - abdallah\nThe Biosphere Nearly Became A Giant Playground\nBack in 1977, only a year after the aforementioned fire that destroyed the building, the City of Montreal proposed the plan to make the giant steel framed structure a children\u2019s playground, or if not that, then a terraced garden or an open-air theatre. Unfortunately, such projects were priced at around $2 million dollars, too much for the city to spend in that year, and apparently every year after that as well.\nPhoto cred - Renate Dodell\nThe Biosphere Used To Be A \"Water Musuem\"\nIt wasn't until 1990 did the Biosphere finally return to some semblance of its former glory, with Environment Canada buying the building for the price of $17.5 million. Reopened in 1995, Environment Canada turned the Biosphere into a \"water musuem,\" an interactive learning space that focused on the ecosystems of the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence River regions.\nPhoto cred - tie78reu\nIt Is Now The Only Environment Musuem In North America\nThen, in 2007, the Biosphere went under another rebranding, with Environment Canada recreating the building as an \"environment musuem.\" Advertised as the only one of its kind on the Environment Canada website (if there are other environment museums on the continent, take it up with them) the modern Biosphere is devoted to educating visitors on major environmental issues relating to water and air quality, sustainable development, and ecotechnologies.\nPhoto cred - leoglenn_g\nAnd Was A Big Star On Battlestar Galactica\nAll the sci-fi lovers will be happy to hear that the Biosphere is something of a minor celebrity, at least to fans of the old school Battlestar Galactica; the building appeared a lot during the episode titled \"Greetings from Earth.\" Other on-screen sighting of the Biosphere include the 1979 film Quintet and an episode of Jacob-Two Two titled \"Jacob Two Two and the Notorious Knit Knapper\" (though the building was animated for the latter).",

But Da Vinci also stood at a standing desk while designing his inventions! While working at his standing desk he designed his flying machine, the armored car and the parachute, just to name a few.\nThomas Jefferson \u2013 President Jefferson was one of the first men in history to use an actual height adjustable desk. His desk had six legs and a slanted, adjustable desktop. Jefferson helped to write the Declaration of Independence, the Louisiana Purchase and invented the Democratic/Republican system of government, all from his adjustable desk.\nCharles Dickens \u2013 This literary giant was known for writing at his standing desk. Many of his classics were said to be written while standing, including A Christmas Carol and David Copperfield.\nWinston Churchill \u2013 It is a widely known fact that the British Prime Minister and leader of the U.K. during the second World War used a standing desk in his home office. We also know that he lived to be 90 years old. Hmmm\u2026\nErnest Hemingway \u2013 The famous author was frequently photographed behind his standing desk. The Paris Review once wrote, \u201cA working habit he has had from the beginning, Hemingway stands when he writes. He stands in a pair of his oversized loafers on the worn skin of a lesser kudu \u2013 the typewriter and the reading board chest-high opposite him.\u201d Hemingway himself once said, \u201cWriting and travel broadens your ass if not your mind; and I like to write standing up!\u201d\nPerhaps we all can learn something from these historic standers.

Keeping this in mind, here some of the tips for making your bedroom more stunning and ravishing this can be done with items such as Wallpics, cozy furniture, right wall paint color, etc. Scroll down to learn more about these.\nChoose Comfortable Bed\nAmong all the furniture in the bedroom, the bed is the most important one. You need to ensure that you select a highly comfortable bed that makes you feel relaxed. Having a comfortable bed doesn\u2019t mean a large bed. It doesn\u2019t make sense to purchase a very large bed for a small room which then occupies the whole space of the bedroom. However, this doesn\u2019t mean you should buy a bed that doesn\u2019t give you space to roll and makes your feet pushed out of the bed. You need to ensure that you select a good and cozy bed which is perfect with respect to the size of your room.\nLeave ample space in the bedroom\nThere are many people who do not understand the value of leaving space in the bedroom and they end up buying different furniture, which instead of making their room entrancing make it look cluttered. Undoubtedly, a chair and a small table are necessary for a bedroom, but the selection of the furniture would depend profusely on the size of the room. Interestingly, these days you can find innumerable options for furniture that are sleek so that it adjusts even in a small bedroom. If you have a large bedroom, then it also doesn\u2019t mean to place unwanted furniture in the room. Try to keep your bedroom simple yet elegant and this is only possible if you leave ample space in the bedroom that neither make it look empty nor too congested.\nFacebook & Instagram Influencers\nToddy Chrisley\nhttp://www.wallpics.com/celebrities/todd-chrisley\nhttps://www.instagram.com/toddchrisley/?hl=en\nhttp://www.wallpics.com/celebrities/mark-jansen\nhttps://www.instagram.com/realmarkjansen/?hl=en\nhttp://www.wallpics.com/celebrities/amanda-stanton\nhttps://www.instagram.com/amanda_stantonn/?hl=en\nhttp://www.wallpics.com/celebrities/ashley-tisdale\nhttps://www.instagram.com/ashleytisdale/?hl=en\nSelect the wall paint color that suits the bedroom d\u00e9cor\nAnother thing that you need to take seriously while decorating your bedroom is that the color of the wall paint complements with the wall d\u00e9cor and other things in the bedroom, such as the furniture. Try to use light colors, neutral or earth colors on the walls of the room as the bright colors can overshadow your wall decors and when the light reflects on it, the chances of it making your room look small is quite high. Even the bright colors on the walls do not stimulate when you sleep and this is not something which you will want to happen. Definitely, you would love to have a bedroom in which you can have a sound sleep.\nDo not full the wall with wall d\u00e9cor\nDecorating walls is important if you want a room to shine and look stylish, but trying too much is not good. When you opt for many wall decorating items, then just like the many pieces of furniture in your bedroom, makes it look untidy, similarly, too many wall d\u00e9cor will make your walls look cluttered. It will appear as if you are trying to conceal the bad wall paint. That is why you are advised to keep it simple when it comes to decorating your walls with decorative things. You can have on one side of the wall a mirror and on the other Wallpics, but do not overdo it. Even when you are planning to buy a mirror make sure it doesn\u2019t damage your wall and is not oversized the mirror must be complementing your bedroom only then put it there on the wall. In case you have a dressing table then you may avoid a wall mirror.\nGo for Wallpics\nThis is something that will for certain make your bedroom look stunning and appealing. Wallpics are customized photo tiles that are designed in such a way that it never damages your wall. The special double sticky adhesive ensures that Wallpics do not leave marks when removed. Furthermore, you do not need to drill holes in your home for a nail or screw to hang these pictures. Unlike photo frame, Wallpics are more wall-friendly and give you the option to move it around when you change the direction of the bed in the room. This way your bedroom looks young and beautiful forever.\nhttp://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wallpics/id1294085580\nhttp://google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wallpics\nhttp://www.instagram.com/my_wallpics\nhttp://www.facebook.com/wallpicsapp\nhttp://www.wallpics.com\nSelect Cost-effective decors for your bedroom\nIt is also important to look for things that make your bedroom look special and unique without spending a lot of money. You need to opt for the products that are cost-effective so that you do not feel betrayed every time you see it when you go to sleep. You will also be amused to know that Wallpics is something which is really affordable and will always make you remember your good old memories attached to the photographs. A set of three will cost you only $35 dollar and each additional Wallpic will cost you $9. The best thing is that whenever you want to change the pictures you just need to peel it off and it will not come out with your wall paint. It is easy to stick to the walls and you can move it around as well, which makes it perfect for reuse, thereby making it true value for money.\nIf you really want to make your bedroom look amazing and enticing then you must follow all the aforementioned points, especially Wallpics. This is something that will make you feel good and you will never regret your decision of placing it in your bedroom. Celebrate each night in your bedroom with Wallpics that have fondest memories attached to it.",

The action figure sits on a base that\u2019s shaped like the Russian Federation\u2019s territory and painted with colors of its flag. The Vladimir Putin riding a bear action figure measures in at approximately 8.5 inches tall x eight inches long x four inches thick.

Technology is transforming the way we work, play, and interact with others. From these technological capabilities, new industries, organizational forms, and business models are emerging.\nTechnological advances can create enormous economic and other benefits, but can also lead to significant changes for workers. IT and automation can change the way work is conducted, by augmenting or replacing workers in specific tasks. This can shift the demand for some types of human labor, eliminating some jobs and creating new ones. Information Technology and the U.S. Workforce explores the interactions between technological, economic, and societal trends and identifies possible near-term developments for work.

'To Catch a King' is his latest book, capturing the thrill of the hunt for King Charles II when he was on the run from Parliamentary forces in 1651.\nThe book is the true story of one of the greatest escapes in British history. After defeat at the Battle of Worcester the young Charles II fled for his life with a vast price on his head to escape the men who had killed his father, Charles I, and wanted him \u2013 and all traces of the monarchy \u2013 dead.\nCharles II hid in numerous places, often evading capture by only moments. Even while he was at Moseley, an unassuming farmhouse, the soldiers came twice; but not only was he not discovered, his supporters finally had time to plan the rest of his escape to France.\nWe are so pleased that a new book about this incredible story has been written by such an eminent historian as Charles Spencer. The book includes original research from new sources about the life-changing six weeks he spent on the run.",

His family was nice to me at the beginning, thinking that it wouldn't last. I know they aren't fond of the fact I have four kids, and they think he should find a woman who doesn't have any.\nWe have been very happy together, but when we got engaged, his family got very upset because he didn't ask them how they felt or tell them he was going to do it. I think they would have discouraged it immediately.\nI feel awful because he's very close with his family. He always backs me 100 percent, but I don't want to tear them apart. I don't want him to not want to see them. He's very family oriented, and it breaks my heart that he wants all of us to be close. They aren't outright rude, but they make me feel uncomfortable, like I'm not good enough for their son/brother.\nAll of a sudden, his brothers/sister and their spouses have stopped talking to me. They have deleted me on social media. We have never gotten into an argument or anything, so I'm at a loss. Should I marry him? \u2014 GETTING THE COLD SHOULDER\nDEAR GETTING: This is something you and your fiance must decide together with your eyes wide open. You say his family hasn't been outright rude, but I beg to differ. Making people feel uncomfortable, giving them the silent treatment and unfriending them is rude.\nThese appear to be extremely controlling people. You need to decide if you can coexist with in-laws like this, and your fiance needs to decide which family is more important \u2014 the one he will form with you and your children, or the one he was born into. He may not be able to have both. You have my sympathy.\nDEAR ABBY: I am a gay male in my late 20s, finishing up my grad school program. My boyfriend is older than I am by seven years. We met in 2017, but I suffered a loss in my family and was grieving for about six months. We met again over the summer and continued our relationship from June to the present.\nHe just texted me about the future, saying he wants children in a year or two. I am anxious and sad because this feels like a make-or-break decision. I do want children and think I will be a good father. However, a child is a huge responsibility, and I am well aware of that. I don't know how soon I'll be ready. I don't even know what the next year will bring. What say you, Dear Abby? \u2014 LACKS CERTAINTY IN MINNESOTA\nDEAR LACKS CERTAINTY: I say you need to return your boyfriend's text and tell him exactly what you have written to me. Your feelings are honest, and your thinking is clear. Now that you know where he stands, it is important he knows where you do.\nThat said, I'm surprised this subject was brought up in a text and not during a one-on-one conversation because of its importance.",

Other than human whistling, the creation of sound by a whistle mechanism has only been convincingly demonstrated in rodents.\nRecently available imaging technology in conjunction with tissue staining provided the research team a three-dimensional understanding of the small, complex anatomical structures that make up a rodent\u2019s larynx, the site of sound production. The anatomy and mechanisms underlying vocal production are often poorly described, especially in small animals.\n\u201cComputer reconstructions helped us identify anatomical specializations that are roughly the size of a pinhead,\u201d said co-author Bret Pasch, Northern Arizona University assistant professor and affiliate of the Merriam-Powell Center and Center for Bioengineering Innovation. \u201cThe small size of these structures helps explains why sound production in rodents, which represent more than 40 percent of mammalian diversity, have not been well understood until recently.\u201d\nIn musical instruments like whistles and flutes, an airstream directed against a sharp edge sets an adjoining air column within a tube into regular pulsations, producing sound. In USV-producing rodents, the research team identified the alar cartilage, which serves the same function as the sharp edge in a whistle, and ventral pouch, an air sac-like cavity that acts as a resonator that amplifies the sound.\nThe research team used micro-computed tomographic (CT) imaging and microscopic examination of tissue to examine the laryngeal structures of house mice, grasshopper mice and laboratory rats\u2014all of which produce USVs to communicate\u2014and kangaroo rats, which have a limited vocal repertoire that does not include USVs.\n\u201cUltrasonic vocalizations produced by rodents are increasingly being used in biomedical research to investigate social communication disorders in humans, such as those exhibited by people with autism spectrum disorders,\u201d noted lead author Tobias Riede, assistant professor of physiology at Midwestern University in Glendale. \u201cOur findings provide a foundation for understanding whether acoustic differences are the result of changes in the form and structure of the larynx or dysfunction of vocal motor programs arising in the brain.\u201d\nInterestingly, kangaroo rats communicate primarily by foot drumming and lack specializations of the larynx found in their vocal cousins. For example, a distinct ventral pouch was present in the rodents that produce USVs but not in kangaroo rats.\nThe findings reported here follow a recent paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society B from the same team that highlight the importance of anatomical innovations in the evolution of animal sound production mechanisms.",

        "title": "The Charlie Hebdo Affair: Laughing at Blasphemy | The New Yorker",
        "raw_content": "The Charlie Hebdo Affair: Laughing at Blasphemy\nBy Emily Greenhouse\nA week ago today, France shuttered its embassies, consulates, cultural centers, and schools in twenty countries. The reason given was that a satirical newsweekly called Charlie Hebdo had published cartoons satirizing two very different films: \u201cThe Intouchables,\u201d just selected as France\u2019s Academy Awards entry in the foreign-language film category; and \u201cInnocence of Muslims,\u201d a film less foreign to those who follow the news than it has any right to be.\nThe cover of the Charlie Hebdo issue in question is a crude depiction of an Orthodox Jewish man pushing a Muslim man in a wheelchair: \u201cThe Intouchables 2,\u201d it reads. (The actual \u201cIntouchables\u201d is a cloying tale of a rich white man who, paralyzed in a paragliding accident, hires a poor black man to care for him. Guess who gets his joie de vivre back?) When you turn the pages, you see ungainly caricatures, presented more or less as advertisements for a film\u2014only tenuously connected with the front cover\u2019s spoof\u2014sure to \u201cset the Muslim world ablaze.\u201d Muhammad, labelled as such, is shown naked and bending over, begging to be admired. Then the Prophet is crouched on all fours, with genitals bared. \u201cA Star is Born!\u201d the caption reads\u2014a reference to the attention given \u201cInnocence of Muslims,\u201d a trifle of murky and unpleasant provenance, that has been invoked in attacks leading to the death of almost fifty people to date, including J. Christopher Stevens, America\u2019s Ambassador to Libya.\n(Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the fifty-five-year-old Californian man believed to be the video\u2019s creator, is in jail after an arrest yesterday for violating eight terms of his probation in a 2010 bank-fraud case. The charges include using aliases; if he is in fact the filmmaker, he would have violated terms from another case that restricted his use of the Internet.)\nWhen word got out a week ago Monday that the paper was printing a representation of Muhammad\u2014an act that many Muslims consider blasphemous\u2014Paris police called the editor (and cover cartoonist), St\u00e9phane Charbonnier, just as the issue was closing. Charb, as he is known, sent the prefecture the front and back covers, and the police urged him to think again. He declined\u2014satire is, after all, his bread and butter\u2014and the issue hit newsstands a week ago Wednesday.\nImmediately, the French government increased security and announced its decision to close the twenty foreign outposts last Friday, which was a Muslim day of prayer. French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault issued a statement criticizing the cartoons and any such \u201cexcess.\u201d Politicians and editorial pages in much of France attacked the drawings as irresponsible, inopportune, and imbecilic. Why now, they asked, and why at all? The right-leaning newspaper Le Figaro rebuked the weekly for publishing \u201csilly provocations\u201d that fall into the trap of the Islamists, while the Roman Catholic La Croix asserted that \u201ceditorial responsibility requires an assessment of the consequences of what one publishes\u201d and that \u201cfuelling the flames to show one\u2019s noble resistance to extremism leads to offending simple believers.\u201d Laurent Fabius, France\u2019s Foreign Minister, said on public radio, \u201cIn the present context, given this absurd video that has been aired, strong emotions have been awakened in many Muslim countries.\u201d He asked, rhetorically, \u201cIs it really sensible or intelligent to pour oil on the fire?\u201d\nCharbonnier, Charlie Hebdo\u2019s editor, sounds exactly sensible and intelligent when he says that the cartoons will only \u201cshock those who will want to be shocked.\u201d He also told Le Monde, \u201cI don\u2019t feel as though I\u2019m killing someone with a pen. I\u2019m not putting lives at risk. When activists need a pretext to justify their violence, they always find it.\u201d\nThis is not the first time Charlie Hebdo has met\u2014or sparked\u2014controversy. Last fall, the paper printed an issue \u201cguest-edited by Muhammad\u201d\u2014\u201cCharia Hebdo\u201d\u2014the cover of which promised \u201c100 lashes if you don\u2019t die of laughter!\u201d Charb found his offices firebombed and his Web site hacked in response. (The site read: \u201cYou keep abusing Islam\u2019s almighty Prophet with disgusting and disgraceful cartoons using excuses of freedom of speech. Be God\u2019s curse upon you!\u201d) The weekly pushed back by declaring \u201clove stronger than hate,\u201d with a slobbery cover cartoon of a Muslim man kissing a pasty-white male cartoonist.\nThe Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt has condemned Charb\u2019s latest cartoons as blasphemous. But blasphemy may well be the point: Charlie Hebdo clearly thinks so. With its offices under police protection, Charb said that mocking Islam must continue \u201cuntil Islam is just as banal as Catholicism.\u201d The taboo\u2014the blasphemy, the untouchable\u2014is the very reason. Le Monde reminded its readers that religions \u201ccan be freely analyzed, criticized, even ridiculed.\u201d This, after all, has been the case \u201csince Voltaire.\u201d The left-leaning French daily Lib\u00e9ration went so far as to call blasphemy a sacred right. In a democracy, it said, \u201cevery publication is free to establish its editorial line; every reader is free to read or not read; free is every offended person to seek reparation before the courts, the only legal arm. And let\u2019s hope that, in other regimes, arms of a different nature are not used.\u201d Banning anything that anyone calls blasphemous\u2014especially when it is a matter of vocal chords or ink\u2014is a kind of violence itself.\n\u201cThe aim is to laugh,\u201d Laurent L\u00e9ger, a journalist at Charlie Hebdo, told CNN. \u201cWe want to laugh at the extremists\u2014every extremist. They can be Muslim, Jewish, Catholic. Everyone can be religious, but extremist thoughts and acts we cannot accept.\u201d\nPerhaps France\u2019s precautions abroad were tactically wise: the Friday that it closed its embassies, at least nineteen people died in violence in Pakistan, related to government-sanctioned protests against the American anti-Islam video. The next day, a Pakistani cabinet minister offered a hundred thousand dollars for the death of the video\u2019s creator. But there was also a chilling effect in the streets of France, where the Prime Minister banned the protests against the American-made \u201cInnocence of Muslims\u201d that had been scheduled for Saturday, demanding that \u201cles flics\u201d crack down if need be. Interior Minister Manuel Valls confirmed this directive to Reuters, and added, in an even harder line, \u201cNeither will I allow street prayers, which have no place in this republic. And naturally the law will apply to anyone who wears the full face veil.\u201d\nBut fiery cartoons may be better answered with fiery cartoons, like those in Al-Watan, a secular Egyptian newspaper, which Monday printed cartoons that ring in their own way of the #Muslimrage meme. One depicts a pair of glasses, each lens showing one of the Twin Towers engulfed in smoke. The caption reads, \u201cWestern glasses for the Islamic world.\u201d On Wednesday, the Spanish satirical magazine El Jueves published on its cover a controversial cartoon of its own: a police lineup of Muslim men, under a caption \u201cBut \u2026 does anyone know what Muhammad looks like?\u201d\nThe New Yorker\u2019s cartoon editor, Robert Mankoff, wrote this week that the only \u201cculturally, ethnically, religiously, and politically correct cartoon\u201d is an empty one (his illustration of such an uncompromised cartoon was an empty white box). Mankoff might agree with the Charlie Hebdo currently on newsstands, with its big red (self-imposed) banner across the cover reading \u201cIrresponsible newspaper.\u201d The cover depicts \u201cThe Invention of Humor\u201d: an oafish caveman adding oil to fire.\nAs Salman Rushdie recently told the New York Times\u2019s Charles McGrath, on the release of his memoir, \u201cJoseph Anton\u201d\u2014which describes the ten years he lived in hiding in response to an Iranian fatwa over his novel \u201cThe Satanic Verses\u201d\u2014the debate over blasphemy is not purely static. McGrath asked Rushdie whether he thinks what happened to him changed anything.\nRushdie replied, \u201cSome of the British Muslims now say, \u2018We think we were wrong.\u2019 Some of them for tactical reasons, but others are actually using the free-speech argument: \u2018If we want to say what we want, he has to be allowed to say what he wants.\u2019 So I think some little bit of learning has happened.\u201d\nEmily Greenhouse is the managing editor of The New Yorker.",

        "raw_content": "\"Boys of Steel\" at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California\nA young woman whose family I have known since she was a tiny girl emailed the following (and then kindly gave me permission to share it here):\nI recently graduated high school. Thursday night my fellow graduates and I went to \"Grad Nite\" at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I was looking through Superman and Batman capes when I noticed something familiar at the front counter: your book! I screeched excitedly and called my friends over, pointing to Boys of Steel as I explained that I knew the author. It was really great to see one of your books at the very front of a store, on display, and to know that I had the same book at home, had read it cover to cover multiple times already, and even had met the author!\nPhoto courtesy of Braden E (via Flickr).\nThis is especially rewarding for me for three reasons:\nBecause Six Flags is home to various Superman rides including a roller coaster with the zippy name \"Escape from Krypton\" (pictured above), I personally pitched them Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman several months before it was published in 2008...although even I thought it unlikely that an amusement park shop would agree to carry a hardcover nonfiction book.\nThree summers later, the book is still available at Six Flags! (Then again, since publisher-to-nonbook-retailer sales are typically nonreturnable, perhaps that is a copy from the original order three years ago that has yet to sell...)\nThe book is on display at the front of the store. (Then again, if it is a copy from three years ago, they've got to do whatever it takes to move that thing.)\nAnd also, Six Flags sells capes? Next they've got to create a coaster on which you can wear one...\nPosted 7:30 AM Labels Boys of Steel, Six Flags",

He also admitted a drink-driving offence.\nThe Crown Prosecution Service said the starting point was an 18-month sentence so the case should be committed to Newcastle Crown Court because the magistrates\u2019 sentencing powers were insufficient.\nPolice searched the defendant\u2019s rented property on November 25, and found packets of cocaine and cannabis in a kitchen drawer and \u00a31,160 cash in a shoe in a cupboard. Police also seized \u00a3460 and an iPhone from McKnight\u2019s BMW.\nMagistrates heard that 12g of cocaine with an estimated street value of \u00a3480 and 27g of cannabis with an estimated street value of \u00a3240 was found. McKnight admitted that he was selling them to make money.\nThe defendant, a factory manager in Berwickshire, also admitted having a further 50oz of cannabis and three-to-four ounces of cocaine.\nMagistrates committed the case to the crown court on March 22, and called for pre-sentence reports to be prepared.\nThe court heard the drink-driving offence happened in Tweedmouth on February 5. He failed a roadside breath test and was taken to the police station where he gave a camic reading of 87mg alcohol in 100ml breath. The legal limit is 35mg. He was given a 22-month driving ban and told to pay a fine and costs of \u00a3415.\n\u25cb Christopher Munro, 22, of Chestnut Way, Widdrington, has been banned from driving for 56 days and must pay \u00a31,012 in fines and costs.

        "raw_content": "Newcastle United make a profit at expense of the team\nNewcastle United owner Mike Ashley.\nNOBODY does it better \u2013 off the field.\nNewcastle United, unlike most other clubs, make money.\nLots of it, in fact.\nThe club revealed yesterday that it made \u00a318.7m, after tax, in the year up to June 2014.\nBut it\u2019s what the club does ON the pitch that matters to fans.\nAnd that\u2019s the problem on Tyneside.\nYears of financial prudence at St James\u2019s Park in a league awash with money have taken a toll on the team \u2013 and its long-suffering fans.\nTonight, Davide Santon, loaned to Inter Milan in January as he was deemed surplus to requirements, could play for Italy against England in Turin tonight, yet Daryl Janmaat, the club\u2019s only fit senior full-back, must play at centre-half.\nHead coach John Carver had just 13 senior outfield players available for the club\u2019s last game, the home defeat to Arsenal.\nAnd he won\u2019t have many more at his disposal for Sunday\u2019s Wear-Tyne derby.\nNewcastle\u2019s accounts might be in rude health, but what about the sickly team?\nYears of under-investment have left the club with a squad ill-equipped to last the distance of a Premier League campaign.\nPlayer trading has generated significant profits for United in recent years.\nMike Ashley, the club\u2019s billionaire owner, has made a fortune buying and selling sports gear.\nAnd not surprisingly his football club, which is set to benefit from a huge new TV deal, has made money buying and selling players.\nIt\u2019s what he does. He buys and sells.\nBut Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley, previously at pains not to \u201cover-promise and under-deliver\u201d, offered disillusioned supporters a glimmer of hope after talking about the club\u2019s \u201cprudent and measured\u201d administration.\n\u201cThe club benefits from a supportive owner and is financially stable,\u201d said Charnley.\n\u201cThis gives us a strong platform from which to grow, both on and off the pitch, a result of which means, as we move forward, we are able to NET SPEND on the playing squad and invest in other areas of the business.\u201d\nThat\u2019s certainly new.\nFans, understandably, are sceptical.\nThere will be departures from the club this summer \u2013 Cheik Tiote and several other players are expected to leave \u2013 and many more arrivals are needed if the team is to be able to genuinely compete at the top end of the Premier League.\nAnd that\u2019s not taking into account the issue of appointing the club\u2019s next head coach.\nCharnley has much work to do.\nMany supporters, disillusioned with the way the club is run, have already drifted away.\nWhat\u2019s the point of supporting a club, at great expense, which does NOT seem to want to win a cup?\nMid-table mediocrity isn\u2019t good enough for a club which attracts 50,000 to St James\u2019s Park every other week.\nFans life and breathe football on Tyneside, and the least they deserve is some ambition from a club in which they make a huge emotional and financial investment over their lifetime.\nFinally, Charnley has promised.\nNow he must deliver.",

        "raw_content": "Get To Know NTI: Corey Hinderstein\nCorey Hinderstein is NTI\u2019s Vice President of the International Fuel Cycle Strategies. She works on issues pertaining to the intersection of civil nuclear activities and national security, with a focus on nuclear verification. She previously served as the senior coordinator for nuclear security and nonproliferation policy affairs at the National Nuclear Security Administration, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), as well as the deputy director and senior analyst at the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS). Corey sat down with NTI's Caitlyn Collett for the latest in Atomic Pulse's \"Get to Know NTI\" series.\nCAITLYN COLLETT: You\u2019ve worked at NTI in a number of capacities. Could you tell me about your time here?\nCOREY HINDERSTEIN: I originally started at NTI in April of 2006, and I was here through January of 2014. I started as a Director for Special Projects, and I was taken on in particular to work on the creation of the World Institute for Nuclear\nSecurity (WINS), though I certainly worked on a number of other issues. At that time NTI was very Russia, former Soviet Union, focused, so I came in not being a Russian specialist in order to work on the rest of the world. Over time, our work has become much more international. Then, in January 2015, I went to the Department of Energy on an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA), an arrangement designed to help people from the academic or specialist community come in and give their expertise to the government for short periods of time. After three years, I decided to come back to NTI in December of 2017.\nCOLLETT: Well, you must have missed us! We're glad you\u2019re back.\nHINDERSTEIN: Thank you. I am glad to be back.\nCOLLETT: Now, you serve as the Vice President of the International Fuel Cycle Strategies at NTI, a new program under our CEO, Ernest Moniz. Will you tell us a little bit about that?\nHINDERSTEIN: The International Fuel Cycle Strategies program was really created to focus a lot of NTI's interest on where the civil nuclear energy world and the nonproliferation world connect. We work on supporting the spread of nuclear energy for both energy security and climate reasons without increasing proliferation risks.\nWe also look at where civil nuclear activities have the potential to cross over into national security space, for example, in Iran or in North Korea where there is a blurring of the lines between civil nuclear energy and proliferation concerns.\nOn top of all of that is the verification task. Anywhere that there is nuclear energy, we need to make sure there is adequate, robust verification so that we can determine if those lines are being crossed.\nCOLLETT: That all seems like very crucial work and definitely not an easy task. Did you always know that you wanted to work in nuclear policy?\nHINDERSTEIN: No, not at all.\nCOLLETT: What first inspired you?\nHINDERSTEIN: I'm not sure I ever knew exactly what I wanted to do, but I always knew I wanted to work internationally. I wanted to work on something that mattered.\nMy parents really instilled in me a sense of doing work for yourself but also for the greater good. My first job in Washington as an intern was working on light weapons trade and arms trade and that was interesting to me, but I can't say it ever captured my imagination, as important as it is.\nThen, I received an opportunity because I was rejected for a job. The people who rejected me passed my resume on to somebody else who worked in nuclear. They told me they were interested in bringing me on, and I remember thinking at the time that I was really not sure, not because I didn't think nuclear issues were important or interesting, but it was really scary. I am child of the Cold War. I grew up in the '80s and I literally used to wake up with nightmares that we were being bombed by the Russians.\nI remember they used to interrupt television with statements like, \u201cWe now interrupt this program with breaking news, here is our anchor in New York,\u201d and there would be this long beep. Every single time one of those came on I thought it was nuclear war. I mean I was terrified.\nSo, when the opportunity came to work on this, I was intrigued but also scared. I think that maybe that experience, really having this visceral memory of feeling like this threat is real is probably what kept me engaged as we went forward. Then, once I got into the field, I was hooked.\nCOLLETT: Wow, that does really personalize the issue. Working on global issues has given you the chance to do a lot of travel. What's been your favorite trip, and what has been your most memorable trip?\nHINDERSTEIN: I am so lucky to be able to travel for work, and my husband and I choose to travel for pleasure, too. I have visited 45 countries (and Taiwan) at last count, and I have two more new ones already planned for 2019. I think my favorite place is Vienna. I mean obviously Vienna is a beautiful city with great food and architecture and art and everything else, but it's a place where I\u2019ve found my rhythm. When you go to a place regularly, you know how the subway works, where the shops are that you like, the restaurants you enjoy, how the work dynamic is with your professional colleagues, and that kind of thing. I mean, I can't count the number of times I have been to Vienna because of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Also so many other events are hosted in Vienna because the IAEA is there. So, I would say that it's probably my favorite place, because it's comfortable and at that same time very different from home.\nMy most memorable trip, by far, is North Korea. It was a fascinating trip and I think that it was an interesting time to be there. North Korea is not like anywhere in the world. Even now, North Korea has opened only a little since I was there in 2011, so to have an opportunity to experience something like that is pretty amazing.\nCOLLETT: I am in awe right now, what a unique trip! What did you get to see while you were there? What were you allowed to see and do?\nHINDERSTEIN: We were only in Pyongyang. We did have meetings with the people from the nuclear site at Yongbyon, but they came to Pyongyang. Most meetings were related to the substance, but they also were really intent on wanting us to have a good impression of North Korea. So, we went to their war museum, which told their side of the story and it's amazing when you read all of the displays. According to them -- they won the war!\nCOLLETT: I know you and your husband do a lot of adventure travel \u2013 you ride motorcycles, you scuba dive. What's next on your personal travel list?\nHINDERSTEIN: We just booked a long weekend in Mexico City, so that will be interesting. We're going to Norway next summer to spend time with friends at their house there, and we're going to do a lot of hiking and getting out into the mountains.\nWe've had one amazing trip to Southern Africa, and we really want to do more in Africa. My husband and I are very committed to environment and wildlife conservation, so that trip was really inspiring to us. We really want to do a motorcycle trips through Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. We also like to do dive trips \u2013 and for those, our list is long. The problem is there are more places to go than there is time!\nCOLLETT: It seems like you've already accomplished so much!\nHINDERSTEIN: I mean, there have been studies that say experiences are the things that give you more renewed happiness because you have all the joy in the planning, and then the joy of experiencing, and then the joy of remembering \u2013 which, as opposed to an object, where you might have the anticipation of the object but then the joy of it tends to go away pretty soon.\nCOLLETT: Speaking of incredible experiences, if you hosted a dinner party and could only invite five people, living or dead, who would you invite?\nHINDERSTEIN: I guess I would be really torn as to whether it would be for my enjoyment or for my inspiration or for my intellectual curiosity. I would love to have dinner with Commander Chris Hadfield, the first Canadian to walk in space and former commander of the International Space Station, because my dream job is astronaut. Then, absolutely, my mother, Sheila Gay, who died of breast cancer in 2005.\nThen, I think I would have to put President Obama on the list. And not for the politics of it but I just think he experienced and has continues to experience so much. I was lucky enough to meet him but that's not same as having a dinner conversation.\nI would really love to meet with women that have been pioneers in their field. I would love to meet Sandra Day O'Connor. I think she would be a fascinating person because she was the first of her kind.\nI suppose I would also love to meet somebody who has nothing to do with me. An expert in something I know nothing about or in some completely remote field. I might not know who the preeminent female theoretical mathematician is or the preeminent person in coral conservation and reconstruction, but I would be very interested in what they do and why they do it.\nCorey Hinderstein\nVice President, International Fuel Cycle Strategies",

        "raw_content": "It was Mark Nepo who observed, \u201cBirds learn how to fly, never knowing where flight will take them.\u201d\nI have spent the greater part of my life worrying about my destination\u2026where the flight of my life was taking me\u2026instead of giving my attention to this day\u2026and how to fly.\nDoes it ever seem to you that we\u2019ve missed something important in our western culture? That we seem driven more and more by our imaginary destinations instead of the daily gift of living\u2026of learning to fly.\nWhat did we learn, for example, about the economic crash in the fall of \u201908? That there are sometimes more important things than just the bottom line? The dividends earned by shareholders? The profit margins? The \u201cmore\u201d we\u2019ve earned this year than we earned last year?\nI sometimes wonder if we learned anything at all. Wall Street seems just as intoxicated today, as it was before the crash, by its record high trading volumes.\nMore interested in where you\u2019re going than in how you\u2019ll arrive? Focused more on the destination than on today?\nWhen I think back on my life as a parent, I can see now that I was always reminding my children that what was important in life was their grades\u2026graduations\u2026goals\u2026getting ahead\u2026knowing clearly what they were going to do and then doing it. Being better than everyone else, without of course an attitude about it. That what was important in life is that they learn to win. And, win big!\nBut, somewhere, I I forgot to teach them that there\u2019s something more important than the destination\u2026that the end isn\u2019t more important than the means\u2026that getting there won\u2019t matter if, after arriving, you can\u2019t stand the person you\u2019ve become in the doing so\u2026that where you\u2019re going is really far less important than how you\u2019re going.\nI try not to be too hard on myself. The fact is, I\u2019ve lived long enough with guilt over the blunders I\u2019ve made of things like parenting. After all, I suppose I just did the best I could, given the fact I had not really learned to fly myself. And, hardly conscious of my awkward attempts at flying. At the time, anyway.\nNo, I, like maybe you, too, was just too busy with where I was going in life instead of how I was going to get there. Too busy worrying about where the next paycheck was coming from, instead of how I was spending the one I had. I was all about the destination, you see, instead of how to live daily\u2026all about where I was going, instead of how I was going.\nReligion can become equally misguided.\nI think it has.\nIt can become too concerned with a destination (called \u201ceternity\u201d) instead of the daily living of life. Too obsessed with \u201cheaven\u201d tomorrow, which is probably why the Church often makes a \u201chell\u201d of today.\nI do not wish to be too hard on the Church either. After all, the Church is just people and they\u2019re doing the best they can, with the degree of consciousness they have, too. But, I sometimes think our greatest error has been to make Jesus into a Savior whose primary concern is your eternal destination, instead of Savior whose primary interest is in how you live today.\nWhich probably explains why the Church largely overlooks what Jesus actually taught about life and living. When I look, for example, at what Jesus taught, it seems to me he was far more interested in helping you know how to fly\u2026how to live\u2026than he was in where that flight would take you.\nWhy? Because Jesus knew, if you ever learned how to fly\u2026how to live\u2026your destination would take care of itself. Which is why he said, \u201cLook at the birds of the air, my friends.\u201d (Matt. 6:25-34). \u201cThey do not plant seeds. Nor do they gather grain into barns.\u201d Jesus saw the wisdom His Father had written into the genetic code of creation itself.\nI\u2019ve spent my life gathering grains called investments and IRA\u2019s and such. I missed just walking through the grain fields of life\u2026observing their beauty as they sway to the wind.\nOr, do you spend most of you time\u2026your life\u2026as I did for much of mine\u2026thinking only about your destinations\u2026the end results..the bottom line\u2026the promotions\u2026your recognitions\u2026your achievements\u2026your retirement\u2026winning at any and all costs?\nAnd so, without thinking, you, too spin wheels of worry, anxiety, fretting over whether you, or your children, are ready\u2026what others will think\u2026what their teacher will think of them\u2026what you\u2019re accomplishing\u2026what kind of grades they\u2019re getting\u2026whether you\u2019re going to make it\u2026if they will make it?\nWant to stop the madness? Then, pause right now and see the madness for what it is.\nIn fact, hit the \u201cPause\u201d button every time you think of today\u2019s post. Ask yourself, as you do, \u201cAm I blinded by the destination, I do not see today?\u201d\nLet go of tomorrow, my friend. Spread you wings today instead. Let the Winds of Life carry you to their intended destination. Give your attention to just flying.\nJust flying.\nYour Best Life NOW!\nRead more: http://blog.beliefnet.com/yourbestlifenow/2013/03/destinations-or-today.html#ixzz2OveqCDpq\nYeah, I was in the dark...\nThen get happy and you'll know. We mean chronically happy. We mean where every thought that you think, is happy. We mean where you reside in a vibration of appreciation and love and joy and interest and passion. You gotta lean downstream for awhile. And the more you do it, the more you become the chronic offerer of that vibration, until you become a physical being so vibrationally aligned with the energy of who you really are, that who you really are pours through you at all times. You don't have to croak to know the deliciousness of the nonphysical. You just have to tune your vibration to it.\nI'm wide awake...\nEvery single person on the planet and every single Consciousness in the Universe has the same experience of being here and having a desire to be there. In other words, it is the promise of this eternal Universe. You're always, always, always going to be on your way to something more - always. And when you relax and accept that, and stop beating up on yourself for not being someplace that you're not, and instead, start embracing where you are while you keep your eye on where you're going - now life becomes really, really, really fun.\nZapharia\nForgive yourself for everything. You can simply say \"I forgive myself for everything.\" Say this inside yourself now. It will relieve you of some of the burden you are carrying.",

        "raw_content": "Depression (The Facts)\nThe term \"depression\" covers a wide spectrum of conditions ranging from mild despondency to melancholia, the very deepest form of depression. Natural despondency is not a disease but simply a part of life. Depression, however, is a common psychiatric illness that must be identified and treated in the same manner as other illnesses. Depression: The Facts, Second Edition provides a simple, yet comprehensive overview of depression for sufferers, their friends, and families. It contains case-study descriptions and can serve as a quick-reference for those with a medical background. It succinctly details the signs and symptoms of clinical depression, as well as the process of diagnosis and the different subtypes, including major depression, dysthymia, manic depression disorders, and seasonal affective disorder. The second part of the book covers the current understanding of the causes of depression, based on the scientific evidence. The book concludes with a review of treatment options and practical guidance on self-help in depression, as well as useful advice for family and friends. The main aim of this book is to reach those who need help and want to understand themselves and their condition more, in an easy-to-read format without an excess of medical terminology and statistics that may overwhelm the non-medically trained individual. All concepts have been broken down into bullet-points and sub-headings, to allow easy digestion of the concepts and information. This empowers the reader, and may ultimately prompt someone to seek help and support.\nYou're reviewing: Depression (The Facts)",

Levine & Associates, Attorneys at Law, LLC posted in Marijuana on Tuesday, April 7, 2015.\nTeenagers do a lot of things without thinking through the possible consequences of their actions, including posting to social media. Two high school students from Lawrence County, Ohio, learned this the hard way after they were arrested last week and charged with serious crimes.\nThe arrests were made after investigators said \u201calarming material\u201d was posted on Instagram, it was reported. The Lawrence County Sheriff\u2019s Office was made aware of the posts by Fairland School District officials and an investigation immediately ensued.\nSearch warrants were executed at two residences in Proctorville. The 18-year-olds, who are currently enrolled at Fairland High School, apparently live in one of the residences together, though the teens are not related.\nAccording to the sheriff, many items were seized during the investigation, including media devices and storage, computers, cellphones, weapons, ammunition, marijuana and drug paraphernalia, and letters and notebooks.\nOne of the teens was charged with inducing panic, a felony, and the other teen was charged with drug trafficking, apparently relating to marijuana that was found.\nOne of the teens\u2019 mothers told a local news crew that she thinks the authorities are making a bigger deal out of the social media posts than necessary, and that the two were just playing around in the posts -- many of which included guns and references to murder.\nOne thing that\u2019s for sure is that the teens and their parents need to take the allegations extremely seriously. Because they are 18 they can be charged as adults and could face years in prison if found guilty.\nBoth of the teens\u2019 futures are in jeopardy, so they will each need an experienced defense lawyer to represent their rights and interests.\nThe situation also serves as a reminder for parents to talk to their teens about appropriate social media usage. Even posts that are made in a joking manner can have serious implications.",

        "title": "Improve Your Facebook Sales With These 10 Tips",
        "raw_content": "Improve Your Facebook Sales With These 10 Tips\nGuest post by Rachel Summers.\nFacebook is an excellent sales platform, as it offers a huge potential audience you can reach with relative ease.\nHowever, you\u2019ll be up against some stiff competition on the world\u2019s largest social network. Here\u2019s how you can improve your sales and get ahead on Facebook.\nGather Those Early \u201cLikes\u201d\nThe more \u201clikes\u201d your page has, the easier it will be to get sales. Your pages will be shared further afield, and you\u2019ll be seen as more legitimate. If you\u2019re just starting out, you\u2019ll need to work for those likes. Ask friends to like your page, and use any contacts you have to get more likes. This encourages new people to visit and like your page too, which means you\u2019ll start showing up in their feeds.\nWrite Excellent Content\nFacebook offers an incredibly large and diverse audience; you can\u2019t write just any old content and expect to see results. You need to create content your audience will want to read, and share. To get help writing your content, try a content writing service like UK Services Reviews. Get consultation on writing, or even hire a writer to handle it for you. Particularly for complex topics or B2B technology content marketing, it often makes sense to bring in outside expertise.\nUpdate Your Page With The Latest News\nIt\u2019s well worth following the latest trends and stories in your industry. If you\u2019re showing that you have your finger on the pulse of the latest developments, your audience will see that you\u2019re worth following. Follow the relevant blogs and news keywords, and share news that matters to your audience.\nThe best time to schedule your posts may be when you\u2019re away from your keyboard. In that case, develop and maintain a content calendar to help schedule your posts. There are plenty of social media management tools to help you do this. Check out Hoot Suite and Buffer to start with. With these tools, you can ensure that your posts are going out at the right time, no matter where you are or what you\u2019re doing.\nShare All Your Content On Facebook\nWherever you create content, make sure you\u2019re sharing it on Facebook. It\u2019s a fantastic tool that makes it easy for users to share posts with their own friends. If you\u2019re blogging, or making videos on Youtube, make sure they\u2019re all going on Facebook. \u201cThe more you share on Facebook, the further your content will go\u201d says SMM manager Adrienne Harris from Revieweal. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how far your posts can go on Facebook.\u201d\nTake Advantage Of Facebook Sales Tools\nIf you have your own online store, that\u2019s great. However, it\u2019s well worth taking advantage of the giant social network\u2019s tools.

        "raw_content": "Julian Gravatt, the deputy chief executive for \u201cAoC- Association of Colleges\u201d has pointed out that the TPS employer charges will also increase the colleges\u2019 cost to over \u00a3142 million in post-92 universities, and \u00a3191 million in private schools.\nThe cost for schools funded by the state will increase by over \u00a31,275 million. The TPS covers college workers and is part of the UK government arrangements to elevate the employer\u2019s contributions and the reforms are expected to take effect by Sept next year. The rate is expected to increase from 16.4% to 23.6% representing a rise of more than 40%. The next spending review will determine how DfE will finance colleges, maintained schools, and academies.\nAoC had issued a stern warning earlier arguing that the increased estimate would adversely affect college budgets, especially in the absence of full compensation for the higher expenses. An elevation in employer pensions in the public sector pensions will affect the college spending in the coming years. Public schools will have to increase \u00a3100 million to cover the gap in public sector pensions.\nTypically, public schools contribute approximately \u00a3350 million yearly to cater for the TPS. Treasury has also issued a notice indicating that the estimated figure could rise substantially. The draft guidelines issued by the Treasury aims to guide the government in its current plans to lower the discount rates applicable to public sector pensions. Experts in the field point out that it is likely to witness another major mis-sold pension compensation lawsuit for UK teachers.\nIn the recent valuation, the rate was set at CPI-Consumer Prices Index-level of inflation plus 3 % (CPI+3), but the rate could lower to (CPI + 2.4) from next year onwards. Sally Hunt, the General Secretary of University and College Union point that the government needs to invest wisely.\nHunt argues that colleges offer a crucial public service, but the subsequent cuts have led to a decrease in the number of learning opportunities provided. She also pointed out that the government pension changes should ensure that public colleges are left with sufficient funds to run their operations now and in the coming years.\nBill Watkin, the chief executive of the \u201cSixth Form Colleges Association\u201d has also observed that the FE sector could also face a serious financial crisis, especially if college contributions to teacher pensions are elevated. The valuation of teachers\u2019 pensions happens after every 48 months and has affirmed that the public sector employees will receive improved benefits\ntowards the first quarter of 2019. Information about the amount to be paid by extra schools has not been provided. However, the UK government has expressed its commitment to cover the potential increased for the 2019/2020 fiscal year.\nThe Financial Times has pointed out that the overall increased payments in the public sector could hit over \u00a34 billion. Perhaps, the education unions will have to file a mis-sold pension compensation lawsuit if the government fails to roll down a comprehensive plan to cater for the potential increase in employer costs.",

        "raw_content": "Home Blogs\tYour child does not want to play! What do you do?\nBlogsCreating a positive environmentDrop outMotivating children\nI could not believe what I saw, my own child buzzing the day before after an amazing training session and less than 24 hours later, he was back in my lap saying he did not want to do this anymore. Was this I do not want to do football anymore? Surely not after the huge success of the day before?\nMy child was only 7 at the time and its a story that has resonated with me several times in the years that have followed, and I felt the need to now tell the story. How many of you as parents have struggled to get your child on the field or even get them out of the house to get to training or their match? How many of you know your child is not feeling 100% but have taken them to training or to their match regardless?\nAfter some lengthy negotiation I tried to get him back on the field but failed miserably, he was just not having any of it. I should have left it alone at this point but of course I did not. In the car on the way home all I could do was ramble on about it. I gave him a hard time for dropping out, complained that we were giving up time to take him and could I get an answer out of him as to why he didn\u2019t want to take part, of course I couldn\u2019t.\nThe following week took a similar line, fine at his other football session in the big city, back to the local village hall and he did not want to play. A repeat of the last week followed, blame as to what he had done in the day- was he too tired? Why didn\u2019t he want to play- still no answer.\nIt was clearly not a football issue as he had played the day before. It had to be something to do with the environment and what was going on. We tried one final time the week after and with the same outcome, at that point we never returned.\nOur son was clearly not happy and enough was enough. It did seem a rather big coincidence that he was fine in the local hall until he then experienced something better and more enjoyable. Surely a seven year old could not work out what constitutes a good coaching session or a bad one? I thought long and hard about this.\nWhat I do think a child can work out is which one of the sessions is more fun. There you have it, the whole success criteria for him was not about scoring goals or attending the session his parents wanted him to but the one he enjoyed the most. Once he realised what fun there was to be had out there he did not want to go back to something less stimulating.\nWho can blame him. As adults we certainly wouldn\u2019t so why should a four year old? This does however open up a very interesting debate.\nAt what point do you listen your child and stop doing a given activity? If your child does not want to go to their sport or does not want to do it at such a young age they should not be forced to. It could have have major long term negative implications.\nIf they are clearly not up for it on a given day, do you adopt the stance that they need to see it out or do you bow to their demands? My view is that if you commit to something you should be encouraging that in your children. If you have signed up to something for a block of time or have committed to a team for a season, you should see that out and then if the child is still not happy then drop out at the appropriate time. Others may have very different views on this\u2026\u2026\nFrom experience however and watching other children who have turned up to training or matches in the wrong frame of mind there is no real positive. The child operates at a far lower level than normal, the child is frustrated and the parent on the side even more so. In fact the whole time is spent with the parents blood pressure rising by the minute and this can only end in a bad way, negatively for both child and parent.\nSo, what do you do if your child is not 100%? The reality is that your young child often during the course of the season will not be 100%, however if they are ill or have been ill what do you do? Once again many can get caught up in the pressure of the situation rather than making a well informed decision. If they miss their training session will that reflect badly on my child? If they miss a match will we struggle to be selected for the next one? Will my child missing be perceived as showing a lack of commitment? Of course none of these questions should be relevant, but these gremlins can run through parents minds.\nRegardless of any of the answers to the above, the fact is if your child looks ill or has been ill you should not take them to play in any sport. It is cruel, they do not play anywhere near the level they are capable of and you risk them being both off sport and their school for a much longer period of time.\nWe have all been there as parents having to make a decision if our child is well enough to go to school or perhaps participate in the school play. In many ways our own disappointment clouds our decision making process that we will not be watching the match or play, rather than taking into account what is in the best interests of the child. I am yet to see any child who has been ill or is feeling ill on a day ever perform well in a match or training session around that period of time.\nAs I mentioned earlier the experience in our local hall would have you say, \u2018But you took your child three times to a session where he was clearly not up for it?\u2019. However, this was not through illness and sometimes as a parents we have to try not to have knee jerk reactions or allow our child just to pick and choose when suits. This means discussing it with them, trying again in the short term as there could be a number of reasons they do not want to attend. Someone has said something mean to them? Are they scared of someone in the group? Have they misunderstood something a coach has said? All of the above can easily be rectified with the correct management and your child would soon be back in the activity.\nA new environment for young people can often cause a feeling of fear and as parents we have to be in a position to try and understand and manage this. A couple of years later we moved our own child to a much bigger and very different environment.\nThe sheer scale of the environment took its toll and despite a great first week, weeks two and three proved really defining moments. Week 2 I think we got our son to participate in part of the session and week 3 was looking a real write off. We had driven 45 minutes to this session, given up a lot of time so as you can imagine the frustration levels were rising. Lots of other parents watching, judging you as you struggle to get your child to participate.\nFortunately in week three I was not there and it was just my wife. 10 minutes into the session and still unable to get our son onto the pitch she turned to him and said, \u2018this is your last chance, you either play now or we go back to the local sports hall and we go home and throw away all of your footballs.\u2019\nI must stress here that my wife is one of the kindest, caring people on the planet. This was not normal behaviour for her at all, something had tipped her over the edge, the beautiful world of sports parenting.\nFortunately, from that moment on our son joined in and has never looked back. He has never not joined in a session, has never had a fear of having different coaches, playing with different boys and playing in different environments, for him it is now just playing.\nWere we right to adopt this hard line stance? That is debatable. The fact is children of that age do not know what they really want, they have fears that we may not understand. Should we let them bail out at the first sign of fear?\nProbably not, but we need to guide and support. Of course continued fear and not wanting to participate should lead you to think twice about forcing your child, but that does not mean your child may not like that sport or environment ever. It just means that at that point in time they may not quite be ready for it.\nThe next time you are having a problem getting your child to their sports event, or you fear that they may not be 100%, I hope that you may be able to seek some comfort in our experiences, and make some really well thought out choices.\nGood luck, you are not alone\u2026\u2026\nBased on the above the best advice would be:\nMake sure your child is having fun\nDo not let your own disappointment cloud your judgement\nIllness and injury are part and parcel of life \u2013 it should not be the end of the world\nIf your child is upset, try to get to the bottom of the problem in a calm manner\nDon\u2019t give up at the first sign of difficulty \u2013 give things a few goes\nYour child does not want to play!

        "title": "From the mind of the editor - Don't limit yourself",
        "raw_content": "From the mind of the editor - Don't limit yourself\nYesterday numbers for some theme park companies were released, namely Disney and Universal parks.\nAnd of course, with this came the inevitable debate between different factions of theme park fans as to what these numbers actually mean, which quickly became a debate on which parks are better than other parks. Why, as theme park fans do we feel the need to do this?\nFirst, lets look at the numbers that started off this most recent wave of \"This thing Good ... This thing Bad\".\nUniversal Attendance increase = 25%\nDisney Attendance increase = 2%\nBelow we'll try to explain why this isn't necessarily a great thing for Universal and a bad thing for Disney ... it's actually good for both of them ... and most of all GOOD FOR US!!!\nThere are many different types of theme park fans, there are those that ONLY go to Disney, no matter what, those that are anti-Disney for one reason or another. Others who find Disney boring and then there are those of us who have no loyalty to any individual park or chain, but just love spending a fun day in a theme or amusement park.\nIf you know where to look, you can find something fun at pretty much any park, and find a way to have a great day. Sure there are different levels of theme/excitement at individual parks, but at the end of the day, having fun at a park should be the highest priority.\nWe'll start off with Disney ...\nWalt's original Magic Kingdom\nThat \"other\" Magic Kingdom\nDisney is obviously the holy grail of theme parks. The whole theme park environment pretty much became popular with Disneyland in 1955 and has since expanded to 11 parks (soon to be 12 with Shanghai Disneyland) across 3 continents. It's pretty safe to say that without the success of Disneyland we'd have no Universal Studios, Sea World and most likely wouldn't have many regional parks like Six Flags and various Cedar Fair parks.\nSure there'd be some of them, as many parks existed prior to Disneyland, but they certainly popularized the theme park concept in America.\nEPCOT!!\nBut Disney isn't perfect, many of the common complaints you hear about Disneyland are \"No new E-Tickets since Indy\", DCA \"Had to spend Billions to fix 1/2 a park\", WDW \"Magic Bands, no new rides\", etc.\nDisney has figured out how to expand attendance or at the very least keep it's level of attendance without having to add something new every year. This has a lot to do with the Disney \"brand\". For us theme park nerds, this sometimes causes us to bash Disney, especially when we see other park chains expanding every year and in some cases at a lightning speed rate.\nDisney's fan base is so large, has so much disposable income and is more loyal than any other theme park fan base ... and Disney knows this. Year after year people drop thousands on Annual Passes, DVC, RunDisney races, merchandise and movies that simply adding something \"large\" to each property about once a decade seems to be enough to keep people coming through the turnstiles.\nDisney knows how to crank up the nostalgia like nobody else. Where anniversary's for theme parks become huge events in and of themselves. No need to spend $100-$200 million on a new E-Ticket when spending 1/4 of that on a year-long Anniversary celebration will bring in the same amount of people.\nNo need to build a new dark ride when adding new elements to existing rides (Hatbox Ghost, New effects to existing rides) increase ridership and keep people coming in.\nThat's not to say these things aren't great, because they are, but obviously Disney knows what they are doing (duh).\n\"Good Tower\"\nGrizzly River Run at DCA\nDisney fans are also the group of people who are so loyal they'll defend their parks so much that they wouldn't ever admit another park chain has gotten a leg up on Disney with new additions and many of them won't ever set foot in a non-Disney park.\nThis is the group that seems to be short-changing themselves the most by not going out and experiencing what other parks have to offer.\nNow known as Disney's Hollywood Studios (for now)\nUniversal Studios, the first \"threat\" to Disney's empire in Orlando\nWhich brings us to Universal Studios.\nOver the past decade, Universal has really begun to make a splash, and while their numbers have definitely increased, they are still playing catch-up with Disney. Universal having a huge percentage increase while Disney only has a 2% increase doesn't mean it's a \"Win\" for Universal and a \"Loss\" for Disney. It simply means Universal is getting a bigger market share because they are adding quality attractions.\nUniversal started the \"Theme Park Wars\" in Orlando when they opened Universal Studios in 1990, a year or so after Disney MGM Studios opened at Walt Disney World. This was a direct response to Disney attempting to build a \"Studios\" park in the same vein as Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal responding in kind with a park of their own.\nThe fact that Universal Studios Florida has expanded and added quality attractions over the last decade while Disney's Hollywood Studios has remained stagnant (for now) shouldn't be lost on anybody. And obviously the numbers are starting to look more even.\nSpringfield has opened on both coasts\nUniversal Studios Hollywood has always been a tough sell as far as a \"theme park\" is concerned. First and foremost, it's a movie studio. For the most part during the 80's and 90's it was a one-day stop for tourists who wanted to see Hollywood in a controlled environment. Because really, if you've been to the real Hollywood, you'd much prefer the stylized version presented at USH.\nLocals pretty much would go to the park once a year, or even once every few years. I personally didn't go to Universal Studios Hollywood from about 1986 until 1998 even though for that entire time frame I lived no more than 30 miles from the park.\nWizarding World of Harry Potter, now open in Orlando, coming in 2016 to Hollywood\nThe heart of Universal Studios Hollywood, the Studio Tour celebrating 50 years in 2015\nUniversal seemed ok with not trying to compete with Disney on the west coast for most of it's existence and only in the past decade has begun to offer the \"Buy a Day get a Year Free\" passes that are so popular.\nIt's also only been in the past 5-6 years where they've really started making a conscious decision to expand to more immersive environments and move away from simply being a \"Studios\" park.\nThe current expansion going on at Universal Studios Hollywood is simply unprecedented in the history of that park. The only thing that really comes close would be the expansion of DCA 2.0. So it's definitely going to be interesting to see if the demographics change as far as locals vs tourists are concerned. And really, if they can siphon some people from Disney.\nBut as a theme park fan, the most exciting thing is to see what kind of response Disney makes at the California parks. Because for the first time EVER, Universal Studios Hollywood has a franchise and expansion that Disney is taking notice of. So while many theme park fans will still avoid Universal for some silly reason, those of us who like all parks should be thrilled at this.\nOne word of warning though, Universal should take a look at what Disney tried to do when they opened DCA 1.0 and pretty much locked out their loyal/local audience. Obviously Potter is no DCA 1.0 and the people will come, but changing so much of their AP program as far as locals are concerned is something that could come back to bite them.\nTwisted Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain\nGreat events are now a staple at Knott's Berry Farm\nSo lets move on from Disney and Universal and talk about some other park chains.\nFor many fans of both Disney and Universal any other park outside of Orlando or Anaheim is considered hands off, not worthy of their time and money and generally considered reserved for those who can't afford Disney. This has created a class culture that is very prevalent in the theme park world.\nEven for the most loyal Disney/Universal fan, there is something out there for you and you really are short changing yourself by not expanding your world beyond those chains.\nSix Flags Great America has great coasters and great family attractions\nIn the midst of \"Sin City\" is The Adventuredome at Circus Circus\nCedar Fair and Six Flags parks aren't \"teenage/gang infested dirty parks\", they are fun parks that really are deserving of your time.\nMany parks such as Knott's Berry Farm, California's Great America, Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Over Texas and others have really been expanding their family offerings over the past few years while adding great family/dark rides, new shows and other things for families to do together.\nWhile the big coasters added to parks like Six Flags Magic Mountain, Cedar Point and other parks tend to grab a lot of the headlines, looking beyond those to see the great events and rides at these parks is something many people tend to ignore.\nOut of the way Amusement Parks like Adventureland in Iowa are great local destinations\nHard to find a better view than at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Colorado\nAt the end of the day, if you are limiting yourself to one theme park chain whether it's Disney, Universal, Six Flags, Cedar Point, Sea World ... whatever it is ... you are seriously short changing yourself when it comes to entertainment.\nIt's hard to think of any other entertainment that has a group of loyal fans that are so against expanding their horizons. I can't think of people who only see movies released by one company. The loyalty people show to certain chains really is only comparable to sports fans who support one team or one sport.\nIt's confusing and pointless and really makes no sense.\nDo you have a loyalty to one chain or another? Will you completely avoid any specific park due to brand loyalty? If so, please explain in the comments below. We'd love to know why.\nChris Mo\nI definitely find myself more loyal to the Disney Theme parks. Mainly because of experience. I feel they do a better job at presentation, creating an experience, theme-ing, and keeping the parks clean/well maintained. We have a Six Flags pretty close that we do have seasons passes to (Discovery Kingdom) and feel overly bombarded with advertisements and disjointed in the park due to a lack of theme-ing. The kids rides are of lower quality (think county fair) and as I've gotten over, feel that thrill rides just seem to all be the same.\nThat being said, seeing what Universal has done recently to begin theme-ing and creating an experience has really got my attention and I'm excited to return to visit that park soon. :)",

Andrew Wright. He said the Sheriff's Office was happy to comply.\n\"We just wanted to make sure that we provided them those tools on how to protect themselves and mostly feel comfortable with our local Sheriff's Office,\" Wright said. \"We feel it was a great success and we had a lot of great feedback stating that they feel much more comfortable.\n\"We definitely will continue to host them,\" he said. \"We are more than happy to engage with our seniors and have them come back on an annual basis to have that dialogue with them.\"\nSheriff Justin Martinez, chief deputy Frank Smith and several other law enforcement officials were on hand for the afternoon to lead the group on a tour of the jail and the communications center. The seniors were also served lunch.\nMany of those who attended took the opportunity to discuss their vulnerability when it comes to scams involving people who are identifying themselves as agents of the Internal Revenue Service or other law enforcement representatives, Wright said.\n\"A lot of them have concerns about a lot of the scams that are going on with people telling them to send money or gift cards,\" Wright said. \"We also talked a lot about general safety and making sure they are aware of these situations. The elderly can be very trusting, which is why they are often targeted.\"\nKay Jones, president of the North Summit Senior Center, said she was \"very impressed\" with the Sheriff's Office's emphasis on their availability to seniors.\n\"They wanted to make sure that we knew that they were there for us anytime we needed them and I was impressed with that because usually you don't have happy thoughts about law enforcement,\" Jones said. \"It showed us the good side of our community.\"\nPrior to the outing, Jones said the seniors expressed an interest in understanding how the jail operates and what is provided to inmates. She said the seniors typically choose an outing that contains some informational component.\n\"We wanted to see how things worked and what they had available there,\" Jones said. \"I was impressed with the facilities. They were very clean and very orderly and it wasn't my idea of what jail was at all. Overall, it was very well taken care of. I was impressed.\"",

What's this?\nU-Boat War Patrol Paperback Add to Basket \u00a312.99\nU-Boat War Patrol ePub (8.8 MB) Add to Basket \u00a35.20\nThis unique account charts the complete story of a single U-boat patrol through the summer of 1942 based around a remarkable collection of photographs that were \u2018liberated\u2019 from a concrete U-boat pen in Brest at the end of the war and which had, until recently, remained hidden in a shoe box. The boat in question, U-564, carried the famous three black cat motif of Reinhard \u2018Teddy\u2019 Suhren who, along with Prien and Kretschmer, was one of the top U-boat commanders during the battles of the Atlantic.\nThis remarkable book provides unique access into both the day-to-day life of a U-boat at sea and into the detailed workings of the Kriegsmarine. Through the successes and trials of U-564 the reader is transported to that vast and watery battlefield that was perhaps the most significant theatre of the Second World War.\nBy happy accident, a shoe box full of photographs was liberated from a U-Boat pen at the end of WWII, hidden until recently, to be found once more. The author has provided a unique and graphic account of U 564. This is much more than a photo essay, with well researched and written text, supported by this unique treasure trove of images - Recommended.\nThe photographs are accompanied by excellent\ncaptions and an informative text, clearly the result of much research on the part of the author and the team at the Museum. They are all to be congratulated on an excellent book.\nWarship 2017, reviewed by W B Davies\nThe author has managed to show the human side of a crew going about their task without glorifying the dreadful events they took part in.\nLiss and District RNA\nThis is, in my opinion, a remarkable book. A photographic collection detailing the life on board U564 of its crew under the leadership of its commanding officer Reinhard \u2018Teddy\u2019 Suhren, a charismatic officer who was outspoken and obviously anti-Nazi.\nTeddy Suhren was a top U Boat commander along with the likes of Kretschmer and Prien during the Battle of the Atlantic in 1942. I find it difficult to find the right words to say about this true story without upsetting those who lost relatives to U Boat activities during WWII but the author has managed to show the human side of a crew going about their task without glorifying the dreadful events they took part in. I recommend this book published by Frontline-Books.",

In fact, the common currencies such as the USD or the EUR do not even feature anywhere close.\nThe same is true for most of the developed economies, also known as the G7 currencies.\nIn this article, we look at the top 15 strongest currencies in the world in 2019.\nBecause the U.S. dollar enjoys the status of the world's reserve currency, in this article we compare the highest currencies relative to the USD.\n1. The Kuwaiti Dinar\nThe Kuwaiti dinar or KWD as it is known based on the ISO convention of currency is the most expensive currency in the world. One Kuwaiti dinar fetches about 3.30 USD.\nIt is not surprising to see why. Kuwaiti dinar, along with a few other Middle eastern countries dominate the top spot when it comes to the most strongest currencies.\nAs you know, oil is the biggest export from Kuwait. There is always a global demand for crude oil. By some estimates, Kuwait's oil industry accounts for nearly 75% of its exports, making crude oil and other similar exports equivalent to above 43% of its GDP.\nIf you calculate against other major currencies, 1 KWD is equal to 2.88 euro and 2.57 pound sterling.\n2. The Bahraini Dinar\n1 BHD = 2.65 USD\nStanding next to the Kuwait dinar is the Bahraini dinar or BHD. Interestingly, the Bahraini dinar was a currency that was introduced only in the late 50's. Until 1959, Bahrain's official currency was the Indian Rupee.\nBut as the popularity of the Indian rupee increased in the Middle east, it put undue pressure on the Indian rupee which led to the creation of the gulf rupee which was equal to the Indian rupee.\nFollowing the devaluation of the Indian rupee in 1966, Bahrain (including Kuwait) adopted their own currencies. Just as with Kuwait, Bahrain's major export industry is the oil industry. It follows the same story as that of Kuwait.\nAt the current rate, 1 BHD is equal to $2.65 (USD), or 2.31 euro or 2.06 pound sterling.\n3. The Omani Rial\n1 OMR = 2.59 USD\nThe list of Middle eastern countries continues. Taking the third spot is the Omani rial, also known as the OMR. The Omani rial started out its life as being pegged relatively higher. This was due to the fact that the smaller units of the Omani rial was 1000 baisa.\nUnlike traditional currencies such as the USD, EUR, where one unit can be subdivided into 100 smaller units or cents, this wasn't the case with the Omani rial. For the 1000 baisa to be of any worth the OMR was pegged higher.\nHowever, the Omani rial is also backed by rich U.S. dollar reserves making it rather steady and enabling it to maintain its strength in the currency markets. However, the OMR is known to be very volatile compared to its other peers such as the KWD or the BHD.\nAt the time of writing, 1 OMR is equal to $2.59 or 2.26 euro or 2.07 pound sterling.\n4. The Jordanian Dinar\n1 JOD = 1.41 USD\nYou might be mistaken to assume that a small country like Jordan would have its currency ranked in the top five most strongest currencies. But the Jordanian dinar or JOD ranks number 4 among the top strongest currencies in the world.\nOil certainly doesn\u2019t rank as the major export for Jordan, so this begs the question as to why its currency is so high.\nThe JOD ranks a strong currency because of the fact the JOD uses a fixed exchange rate which is tied to the International Monetary Fund's special drawing rights or SDR.\nBefore switching to the JOD, until 1949 Jordan was using the Palestinian pound. Now a days, the JOD is also seen being pegged to the U.S. dollar.\nAt the time of writing, 1 JOD was equal to $1.41, 1.23 euro and 1.09 pound sterling.\n5. The British pound\nAt one point in time in history, the British pound was the strongest currency in the world. This was largely due to the British empire how other currencies were pegged to it.\nToday, the British pound sterling or GBP is struggling to maintain its dominancy in the international currency markets. Still, coming in at number five, the British pound sterling is a currency that is to reckon with.\nCompared to the U.S. dollar, one GBP is equal is $1.28. Not so long ago, the exchange rate was as high as $1.55. But major economic and geo-political issues (ex: Brexit and the global financial crisis) have weakened the exchange rate of the GBP.\n6. The Euro currency\nThe euro currency is one of the youngest currencies in the world. However, it has still managed to rank among the top 10 most strongest currencies in the world. The euro is also known as a common currency or a shared currency.\nThe EUR is the common currency of nearly 19 countries of the European Union. The euro was put in place to replace the many regional currencies and also in an effort to form a common economic union or a bloc.\nThe euro was initially pegged at 1.24 before it briefly surged to highs of 1.55 even surpassing the GBP for a short period of time.\nAt the time of writing, one euro is equal to $1.14.\n7. The Swiss Franc\nThe Swiss Franc or CHF is commonly known as the rich man\u2019s currency. The CHF enjoys the status of being a safe haven currency which its central bank has been discouraging over the past few years. Supported by a strong export market and rumors of significant amount of gold, the CHF ranks as the seventh strongest currency against the U.S. dollar.\nAt the time of writing, the CHF is valued at $1.01, although around mid 2011, the currency appreciated as much as $1.25.\nThe Swiss central bank does not want to strong currency because it impacts the exports of the nation and keeps its goods less competitive in the markets.\n8. The U.S. dollar\n1 USD = 1 USD\nThe world\u2019s reserve currency takes it spot as the eight strongest currency in the world. Enjoying the status of the reserve currency, the USD is one of the most widely used currencies in the world. Unlike most of the stronger currencies (excluding the CHF, GBP and the EUR), the USD is also a very liquid currency.\nThis means that you are bound to be able to exchange your U.S. dollars almost anywhere in the world.\nThe U.S. is also the world\u2019s largest economy giving it added value. Most of the foreign governments also keep the USD in demand so they can build their foreign USD denominated reserves for international trade.\n9. The Canadian dollar\n1 CAD = 0.75 USD\nThe Canadian dollar, or the CAD is the national currency of Canada. The CAD is the ninth most strongest currency in the world. The major part of this comes due to Canada being one of the biggest exporters of crude oil in North America.\nThe currency also enjoys such a high status due to the overall economy and its relatively stable geo-political environment which is a big factor especially when there is a conflict in the middle-east.\nMinerals and other precious metals are also one of its big ticket exports to the global market. Because of its close proximity to the United States and also the fact that the U.S. is Canada\u2019s largest trading partner, it makes sense to have the CAD somewhat lower compared to the USD.\nBut this was not always the case. Between the years of 2008 through 2011, the Canadian dollar actually surpassed the U.S. dollar. Back then, one Canadian dollar was as high as 1.05 USD.\n10. The Brunei dollar\n1 BND = 0.73 USD\nThe Kingdom of Brunei is well known as one of the richest countries in the world. It is no wonder then that the Brunei dollar makes up the top ten most strongest currencies in the world. At the time of writing, one Brunei dollar is equal to $0.73.\nBrunei had a number of currencies in its long history. Since 1973, the Brunei dollar as we know it today came into existence.\nAn interesting fact about the Brunei dollar is that it is pegged or remains at par with the Singapore dollar and can be used interchangeably in both countries.\n11. The Singapore dollar\n1 SGD = 0.73 USD\nAs mentioned above, the Singapore dollar stands steady to the Brunei dollar. The Singapore dollar enjoys the status of a strong currency despite not being rich in natural resources or being a major player in global economy.\nThe SGD does however have a large amount of U.S. dollars in forex reserves. Among the Association of South East Asian nations or ASEAN, Singapore is said to be the richest country or economy in the region.\n12. The Australian dollar\nThe Australian dollar ranks at the eleventh most strongest currency in the world. The AUD is known as commodity currency. Other currencies that enjoy a similar status is the CAD and the NZD. The reasoning behind this is because these countries are export oriented countries.\nThey dominate the commodity markets and therefore, the respective currencies tend to fluctuate depending on the commodity markets ranging from precious metal to base metals. The AUD tends to have a strong reliance on the copper market.\nAround the periods of 2011 \u2013 2013, the Australian dollar rose as high as to fetch 1.10 in U.S. dollars.\n13. The New Zealand dollar\n1 NZD = 0.68 USD\nFollowing on the heels of the AUD is the New Zealand dollar. The NZD is also a commodity currency but most of this is reliant on dairy and meat exports. Although the country is relatively small, backed by its vast economy and a growing diary market, the NZD has managed to maintain its dominance in the international currency markets.\nThe NZD has never managed to reach parity or being equal to the U.S. dollar in value. However, around 2011, the currency appreciated to rise to 0.85 U.S. dollars.\n14. The Bulgarian lev\n1 BGN = 0.58 USD\nThe Bulgarian lev is the official currency of Bulgaria. Currently, 1 BGN or Bulgarian lev is equal to 0.58 USD. The reason why the Bulgarian lev is considered stronger compared to other economies such as the emerging markets or even China, the world's second largest economy is that it is pegged to the euro.\nTherefore, the fluctuation in the BGN currency is entirely dependent on the euro markets.\nThe reason why the BGN is pegged to the euro is because the European Union is its largest trading partner. One euro currently equals to 1.95 BGN. Thus, when the euro appreciates against the U.S. dollar, the BGN also rises.\nThe peg to the euro is not about trade. Bulgaria is one of the newest countries that is likely to adopt the euro. When countries want to adopt the euro, they adhere to the ERM II mechanism which is designed in order to maintain price stability during the transition period.\n15. The Polish Zloty\nThe national currency of Poland is the Zloty meaning golden. The PLN at one point was much higher, getting as much as $0.50. However, the currency underwent a revaluation due to high inflation. On January 1995, the new Zloty was introduced which was much weaker than its predecessor by the same name.\nAlthough Poland trades closely with the European Union, it has maintained its own national currency. Against the U.S. dollar, the PLN is set to fluctuate within a band of $3 - $4. (The current exchange rate of the USDPLN is 3.74).",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s takes a lot of patience to prepare your children for a new pet and welcome it into your family. You have to do your research into different breeds, and determine which kind of furry companion would best fit into your family dynamic. However, you also have to learn how to keep the newest member of your family, the beloved cat, happy and healthy. Here are a few basic ways you can make sure that your new pet is as happy and healthy as the rest of your family.\nPersistent itchiness is only one small reason why pet owners should be vigilant against fleas and ticks. Fleas can infect your beloved pup with tapeworms, lyme disease, or even Bartonella (usually known as Cat Scratch Fever), which causes vomiting, diarrhea, and even seizures. Some of these diseases can even be passed on to you and anyone else living with you. The best thing to do is try to avoid these altogether by getting flea collars for cats to defend against fleas. However, you should also take your pet to the vet if you suspect there might be something seriously wrong with them.\nMeat is the foundation of a healthy cat\u2019s diet, so it should always be their main meal of the day. You shouldn\u2019t try to feed your cat too much kibble, because chances are there is nothing fresh about it anymore. Dry food is very heavily processed which includes being subjected to high temperatures for a long time resulting in alteration and destruction of nutrients. It\u2019s also often contaminated with bacteria, fungal mycotoxins, storage mites/cockroaches and their feces, and more. If you\u2019re in a hurry, feed them canned food instead. You absolutely should not feed it a vegetarian diet either. Cooked beef, chicken, turkey, and lean deli meats are a great way to give them the protein they need for a strong heart, good vision, and a healthy reproductive system. Remember to keep a bowl of fresh water within their reach so they can quench their thirst.\nCat owners must notice the amount of times their feline friend grooms himself throughout the day; cats actually spend 50 percent of their awake-time self-grooming. Relieve them of their duties by picking up a brush and grooming them yourself. Not only does the comb/brush feel good like an all-over massage, it keeps fur mat-free, skin clean, and cuts down on hairballs that can develop in the digestive tract. However, because cats already do most of their grooming themselves, they might not see the brush as a friend. The key to getting a cat to cooperate with brushing is connecting brushing with happy events, such as brushing them before dinner.\nAs inconvenient as it may be for you, it\u2019s not a good idea to put the litterboxes in a hidden corner. Cats prefer to do their business where they can see everything around them, because that\u2019s how it\u2019s done in the wild.",

        "title": "Inside the 1952 Giro Di Lombardia Official Program - PezCycling News",
        "raw_content": "PezCycling News - What's Cool In Road Cycling : Inside the 1952 Giro Di Lombardia Official Program\nInside the 1952 Giro Di Lombardia Official Program\nLombardia Retro: Utter confusion was the look on my face when Alessandro handed me the old newspaper and said it was a gift. Upon closer inspection, I realized I was holding the 1952 Giro di Lombardia official program \u2013 in mint condition! Once I got over the shock that such a treasure still existed \u2013 I couldn\u2019t wait to share it with PEZ-Fans\u2026\n\u2022 The cover of the 1952 Giro di Lombardia program features Fausto Coppi leading Louison Bobet over the Madonna di Ghisallo in the 1951 race.\nThe 1952 Giro di Lombardia race program is an amazing 32 page snapshot back into the race scene more than a half century ago, jam packed with race info, presented by the famous Italian sports daily \u2013 La Gazzetta dello Sport. Of course it\u2019s in Italian \u2013 and that makes it even cooler. The price was 0.50 Lira \u2013 likely about 25 cents worth at the time.\nOne thing that struck me was the huge number of man-hours it must have taken to produce such a document \u2013 at a time way before computers and digital presses. Everything had to be typeset by hand, artwork for the ads was sketched or illustrated by hand, colored inks were limited, expensive and tough to use, so most of this edition is good old black and white.\nThe legendary Fausto Coppi was the man of the times, unbeatable everywhere \u2013 he\u2019d already won this race 4 times in 1946, 47, 48, and 49, and the cover of the program is a classic shot of Coppi and the 1951 winner Louison Bobet dueling over the top of the Madonna del Ghisallo climb. Coppi had been the first over the decisive climb in all his previous wins, but wound up 3rd in 1952, behind Bobet and Minardi.\n\u2022 The pivitol point \u2013 and defining obstacle - in the race is the climb from Bellagio to the Madonna di Ghisallo church. This shot from 1923 shows a small breakaway climbing to the Madonna del Ghisallo on unpaved roadway. That climb is a bee-yotch now \u2013 but back then it was hors-beeyotch.\nThe limited use of color in the program reminds us how far news printing has advanced. The center spread featured a few full color photos, plus this map of the year\u2019s corsa. The race began and finished in Milano, with the finale being played out on a velodrome in the city. Remember - some artist illustrated this by hand.\n\u2022 Weather often plays a factor in the race, although the 2012 date move to earlier in October reduces the chances of rain... slightly. The rain was so bad in 1928 (below), it flooded parts of the corsa, forcing riders onto makeshift sidewalks.\n\u2022 In the 1930\u2019s edition (aprox.), before derailleurs were invented, riders had to stop and flip the rear wheel to engage a climbing gear. The great Alfredo Binda is in the center here, he won Lombardia 4 times: 1925, 1926, 1927, and 1931, and was the first to win the Giro d\u2019Italia 5 times.\n\u2022 In 1919, a group of eight broke away from the 44 starters. Apparently the established press had some competition from an upstart publication that was no doubt very cool.\n\u2022 You can\u2019t hold a race in Italy without some returning winners. Even in 1952 the Italians were the best dressed \u2013 (l-r): Binda, Guerra, Girardengo, and Belloni \u2013 scoring 11 wins between them. Reportedly they all agreed that the \u2018Distrazione del Giorni\u2019 published by the Gazzetta dello Pez were the favorite part of their day.\n\u2022 You don\u2019t want to miss the classic advertising that adorns the pages of this program either. Nothing defines a period in modern history like the ads, and judging by the popular ad categories here, typical race fans were into their watches, clothing, power tools, motorcycles, and a little \u201cRamazzotti\u201d to take the edge off after a hard day at the office.\n\u2022 Based on the big 1/4 page ad, Gaggia espresso makes were a big supporter of racing\u2026 back in the day.\n\u2022 How many pros pull on a fine Italian leather coat after crossing the finish line? Fausto Coppi did after wining the 1947 edition.\n\u2022 And you can\u2019t have a race without some record times \u2013 the 5 fastest times up the Madonna del Ghisallo climb (to date) are shown above.\nWithout question the history of our sport gives it a dimension most other sports can only dream of. This Sunday another page of that history will be written, and you can bet that 50 years from now, a bunch of new cycling fans \u2013 most of \u2018em not even born yet \u2013 will be looking back to this year's edition with same awe that we remember 1952.\nKeep it Pez'd for all the racing action Lombardia...",

        "title": "Review: Blu Life One X2 (Phone Scoop)",
        "raw_content": "Blu's latest Android smartphone is the inexpensive Life One X2. It offers a premium metal-and-glass appearance paired with mid-range specs and performance. This unlocked handset could be ideal for Cricket or MetroPCS customers. Here is Phonescoop's in-depth review.\nThe Blu Life One X2 is a low-cost Android handset that aims high with a stylish design and a few premium features, like a fingerprint reader and 16-megapixel camera. Blu sells the phone online unlocked. It has network support for T-Mobile, MetroPCS, Cricket, and AT&T.\nThe One X2 looks better than it feels. Blu adopted the popular metal-and-glass design approach with this phone in order to give it a premium appearance. The One X2 almost pulls it off, but it's too easy to see past the thin veneer.\nBlack glass forms the front surface of the One X2 and it's curved very slightly along the edges to help smooth out how it feels. The rear of the phone is made from a metal shell that wraps around and forms the side edges. It's got a nice gray color to it with a matte finish that I rather like. Chrome bands run from side-to-side across the top and bottom edges. These bands separate the metal portion of the rear shell from plastic ends. The plastic is gray, but not the same gray as the metal. The mismatched grays drive me nuts. Other chrome accents help break up the solid black and gray surfaces. Overall, the One X2 has a conservative, upscale design.\nThe 5.2-inch screen helped Blu keep the One X2's footprint in check. It's not huge, but it's not small, either. I found it easy to hold and use with one hand. I wish it were thinner and a little lighter. The metal back plate definitely adds some heft to the phone. If you're looking for a size comparison, it's nearly identical to the HTC 10. People with the smallest hands may not be comfortable using the One X2, but my guess is most will have no trouble with it. The phone will fit in most pockets without issue.\nI'm not sold on the quality for several reasons. Though it's technically made of metal, the One X2's rear panel still feels a bit cheap to me. The metal is the most non-metal-feeling metal I've felt. The chrome bands, which are indented a bit, have sharp edges to them and the plastic ends just feel gross. Despite my misgivings about the materials, the phone does look and feel like it is put together well. Nothing is loose or wiggly, and all the seams are tight.\nOne X2 Body\nThe One X2's face is black. I appreciate that the display is indistinguishable from the surrounding bezels when off. The user-facing LED flash stands out starkly above the display. The chrome-rimmed fingerprint sensor below the display is easy to spot. The sensor doubles as a home button. Travel and feedback are just okay. You can also set the button to act like a trackpad. This feature is turned off by default. There are no other buttons on the front, as the One X2 uses software controls for interacting with the user interface.\nThe side edges of the X2 have a pleasing rounded profile, but an uncomfortably sharp lip where the rear shell joins with the glass front. The screen lock key and volume toggle are on the right. These buttons have good profiles, making them a cinch to find without looking. Travel and feedback is good. The 3.5mm headphone jack is on top and the microUSB port is on the bottom.\nBlu carved out a nice shape for the rear panel. The phone is at its thickest along the central vertical axis and it tapers just a bit towards the sides. From a distance, the chrome bands and gray metal look nice. As noted earlier, the plastic end caps of the rear shell don't match the gray color of the metal, and the chrome bands look cheap. There's no other way to say it.\nThe entire rear panel lifts off, providing access to the SIM and memory card slots underneath. Clasps hold the panel on pretty tightly and it takes some effort to pry loose. Interestingly, the One X2 supports two SIM cards, which means you can have two accounts/numbers associated with the phone if you want. This feature is rare for phones sold in the U.S. Both SIM slots accept micro (3FF) SIM cards. If you're looking for a removable battery, I have some bad news: the One X2's power cell is concealed within the phone's chassis and cannot be swapped.\nFrom an arm's length the Blu Life One X2 looks snazzy, but up close it looks more snoozy. It's an acceptable piece of hardware for this price point, but I've seen better.\nThe One X2's screen measures 5.2 inches across the diagonal and includes full HD resolution. I was pleased with the sharpness and clarity of text, icons, and so on. The LCD panel puts out plenty of light for indoor use, but I was not as happy with outdoor viewability. You need to be sure to crank up the brightness if you want to take pictures outside. Viewing angles are pretty good; I didn't see much brightness drop off nor color shift when tilting the phone around. It's more than adequate for a $200 phone.\nBlu sells the One X2 unlocked and it supports LTE Bands 2, 4, 7, 12, and 17, which is good enough for decent coverage with AT&T, T-Mobile, and their prepaid brands in the U.S. I tested the One X2 on AT&T's network in and around New York City. The phone did a decent job, but I'd rate it below average when compared to other unlocked phones I've evaluated in recent months. Phone calls connected on the first attempt and the One X2 didn't miss any calls. It did drop a few calls on the highway where other phones had no problem. Data speeds were not overly impressive. The One X2 managed to keep me up-to-date on email and other social network feeds without trouble, but streaming media content via LTE was inconsistent.\nThe One X2 is passable for making phone calls, but just barely. The earpiece delivers just enough volume for use in and around your home or office, but it's very hard to hear calls in a moving car or on city streets. You'll need to keep the volume set up all the way at all times. Voice clarity ranges from good to bad, with distortion causing the most trouble. I'd say most calls leaned toward bad rather than good. People I spoke to through the One X2 said I sounded quiet and far away.\nThe speakerphone is pretty darned loud, and able to push out a lot of sound without distortion. That's a good thing. You may get more mileage taking calls via the speaker rather than the earpiece. I had no trouble hearing speakerphone calls at home, in the car, or walking around New York City. Music, ringers, and alerts can all be set to hella-loud volumes. The vibrate alert is pretty good, too.\nA 3,000 mAh battery fills the inside of the One X2 and it helps push the phone through a day with ease. The phone often still had 30% capacity left at the end of the day. Not once did I find myself in jeopardy before bedtime. As I usually do, I used the One X2 to scroll through Twitter and Instagram, listen to music, watch videos, search Google Maps, and much more. I kept all the radios on and the brightness at about 50%. This type of mixed use didn't challenge the battery at all.\nThe best news, perhaps, is that the One X2 supports rapid charging via Quick Charge 3.0. Plug the phone in for just 30 minutes and you'll net a 70% charge. The phone includes a fast charger in the box.\nThe One X2's Bluetooth radio was a hair fussy. It took longer than usual to find and pair with other devices and was prone to disconnecting from accessories from time to time. It managed to hold onto my car's hands-free system, but had trouble with a pair of Bluetooth headphones. Calls via the hands-free connection were barely tolerable; you're better off just using the built-in speakerphone. Music sounded below average through even the best Bluetooth gear.\nThe phone's GPS radio was much more consistent. It was able to find me in about 10 seconds and resolved my location to within about 25 feet. It didn't exhibit any lag or speed issues when used as a real-time navigation device.\nThe One X2 doesn't have NFC. The WiFi worked well.\nHands On with Blu's Life One X2\nBlu has a new Android phone offering desirable specs like a fingerprint reader, 5.2-inch, full-HD screen, 16-megapixel camera, fast charging, and memory card slot, all for under $200 unlocked. We spent a little time with it.\nBlu Shows Off the Life One X2\nBlu today announced the Blu Life One X2, a successor to the Blu Life One X. The Life One X2 features a 5.2-inch full HD display with curved glass, a metal chassis, and a fingerprint reader for biometric security.\nAsus Debuts the ZenFone Live L1 with Android Go\nAsus recently revealed the ZenFone Live L1, a Best Buy exclusive that runs Google's Android Go platform. Android 8 Oreo Go is a pared-down version of Android that's able to run on devices with limited memory.",

        "raw_content": "Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Plans\nBoth the employer and employee can contribute to FSAs. Until HRAs and HSAs were introduced, FSAs offered employees the only way to supplement their employer-sponsored health plan on a pretax basis. While HSAs and HRAs have become increasingly popular, FSAs are still a very viable option for employers of every size and are compatible with virtually any health plan.\nMany employers have used flexible spending accounts to help employees fund higher out-of-pocket expenses after increasing health plan deductibles and co-payments.\nEmployees can use an FSA to pay for a variety of health care expenses not covered by their health plan. These often include over-the-counter drugs (with a prescription), vision, or dental expenses.\nFSAs can also be set up to pay for qualified dependent care expenses.\nEmployers can continue to offer an FSA in combination with an HRA and, in a modified form, with an HSA. Physicians Care can provide further details on these options.\nUse It or Lose It Rule\nThe funds deposited into an FSA cannot be rolled over from year to year but must be used within a plan year. However, under the Internal Revenue Code, an employer may allow a grace period or a carryover so employees may use unspent funds in the next plan year.\nPhysicians Care Health Plans (PCHP) has more than 30 years of experience with FSA design and administration. We can coordinate claim submissions to make a Physicians Care health plan an even more attractive benefit to employees. For more information, call PCHP or send us an e-mail today.",

        "title": "4 fundamental forces | Physics Forums",
        "raw_content": "4 fundamental forces\nIn my textbk, it says that\nThe four fundamental forces are :\na) Gravitational force\nb) Electric and magnetic forces\nc) Weak force responsible for beta decay\nd) Strong force which holds the nucleus together\nWhat does (c) mean?\nI've heard that scientists think the 4 forces were seperated from 1 force shortly after the bb, that's why they are eager to find the GUT. Why they think the 4 forces were seperated at the very beginning?\n(simple explanation please )\nKLscilevothma, May 7, 2003\nc) is just what it says. There is a force that is really weak but causes certain types of particles to interact (electrons and neutrinos for instance.) It happens to be responsible for a certain type of radioactive decay, beta decay.\nReasons for unifaction:\n1) The history of physics has been one of unifying various things: for example the electric and magnetic forces; more recently the weak and electromagnetic forces (b&c above.)\n2) The coupling constants -- a measure of the strengths of the various forces -- are all equal at small distances. This would be a really strange coincidence, unless the four (three) forces were just different manifestations of the same thing, in which case it would be expected. This is the most persuasive argument.\n3) One force is much simpler than three/four.\ndamgo, May 7, 2003\n\"c\" is an acronym for \"celeritas\" which is Latin for \"swift\". The speed of light, ~186,000mi/sec is symbolized with c. 'c' is a constant, as light is a natural constant according to special relativity.\nThe strong force is what holds the protons together when they are reeeaally close together.\nThe weak force is what pushes them apart once they get past a certain distance. It is what is responsible for nuclear explosions (among other things)\nWhat is the force called, enigma?\n\"The weak force\"\nNo. electrostatic repulsion is what pushes them apart (they are electrically charged) and what is responsible for energy of fission (atomic) bomb.\nFusion bomb uses re-arrangement of nucleons thus difference in nuclear potential as a source of energy - again not the weak force.\nThe weak force is now thought to be unified with elecromagnetism in the electroweak theory, part of the Standard Model. The theory has four force carrying particle, one massless, the photon of EM, and the other three massive, a positive and a negatively charged W and a neutral Z. The weak force is the only one that can \"break flavor\" that is, change one kind of quark into another.\nselfAdjoint, May 8, 2003\nThat's what I get for trying to swim outside my realm of expertise...\nTo expand upon what Alexander said, the weak force is responsible for the decay of many kinds of particles -- the neutron among them. A neutron decays into a proton and an electron and an electron anti-neutrino -- this decay is known as a 'weak decay.' Many other (more exotic) particles experience weak decay, as well.\nPhysicists are so uncreative.\n. A neutron decays into a proton and an electron and an electron anti-neutrino -- this decay is known as a 'weak decay.'\nSome professionals do make little mistakes. The anti-neutrino belongs intrinsically to the positron; the electron carries off its intrinsic neutrino when it is expelled. 15.8 kilovolts of the electron's expulsion energy is possibly due to the anti-neutrino stripping process. The thought experiment that invented the anti-neutrino escape was the fact that if the positron charge retained its spin character the neutron (with spin-a-half) decay would result in a proton with zero spin.\nNEOclassic, May 9, 2003\nOriginally posted by NEOclassic\nSome professionals do make little mistakes.\nSo what are you trying to tell me? Beta decay produces a neutrino, not an anti-neutrino? You know what? Perhaps you should open a book, dumbass. If the beta decay resulted in (proton + electron + electron neutrino), lepton number would not be conserved.\nBeta decay produces, in fact, an electron anti-neutrino.\nWhat does that have to do with anything???????????????\nHm,..It was mentioned that at small distances the 4 \"coupling constants\" are all the same...What does that mean? Are those constants like \"G\" u mean?\ndav2008, May 9, 2003\nI think they were impressed by a cross section of neutrino interactions.\nI would like to try to understand this, if possible in connection with this quote from John Baez website:\nhttp://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/constants.html\n...General relativity and pure quantum mechanics have no dimensionless constants, because the speed of light, the gravitational constant, and Planck's constant merely suffice to set units of mass, length and time. Thus, all the dimensionless constants come in from our wonderful, baroque theory of all the forces other than gravity: the Standard Model.\nFor starters, we have a bunch of masses. There are 6 kinds of quarks, one positively charged and one negatively charged of each generation: up, down; charmed, strange; top, and bottom. The masses of these quarks, divided by the Planck mass, give 6 dimensionless constants. We also have 3 kinds of massive leptons --- electron, muon, tau. The W and Z bosons also have their masses. Then there is the Higgs, which while still not detected, is very much part of the theory, so we get another mass.\nThis gives us 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 12 dimensionless constants so far.\nThen we have two coupling constants: the electromagnetic coupling constant and the strong coupling constant. The electromagnetic coupling constant is just another name for the fine structure constant; it describes the strength of the electromagnetic field. Similarly, the strong coupling constant describes the strength of the strong force - the force transmitted by gluons, which binds quarks together into baryons and mesons.\nYou may wonder why I'm not listing a coupling constant for the weak force here. The reason is that you can calculate this from the numbers I've already listed.\nI should warn you here: there are different ways of slicing the pie. Instead of the electromagnetic coupling constant together with the masses of the W, Z, and Higgs, we could have used 4 other constants: the U(1) coupling constant, the SU(2) coupling constant, the mass of the Higgs, and the expectation value of the Higgs field. These are the numbers that actually show up in the fundamental equations of the Standard Model. The idea is that the photon, the W and the Z are described by an U(1) x SU(2) gauge theory, which involves two coupling constants. The beautiful symmetry of this theory is hidden by the way it interacts with the Higgs particle. The details of this involve two further constants - the Higgs mass and the expectation value of the Higgs field - for a total of 4. If we know these 4 numbers we can calculate the numbers that are easier to measure in experiments: the masses of the W and Z, the electromagnetic coupling constant, and the mass of the Higgs. In practice, we go back backwards and use the constants that are easy to measure to determine the theoretically more basic ones. ...\nAn awful lot of handwaving is going on here, evidently. It sounds as if when you look at the Standard Model the only thing a layman would intuitively recognize as a coupling constant (belonging to Baez list of 26) is the fine structure constant 1/137.036...\nG is not a coupling constant in this picture so much as something set equal to one to determine the underlying scales. And gravity is not part of the Standard Model but rather its geometrical backdrop.\nI dont question Baez he is expert and a good explainer. I just dont understand. The four numbers he seems to be talking about are the electromagnetic coupling (1/137...) and the strong force coupling (....) plus two higgs things: higgs mass and higgs field expectation value. And maybe he does not mean 1/137...when he says \"fine structure constant\"----maybe there is a bare or small distance version of it and he's talking about that! Many possibilities for confusion.\nHe says weak force coupling is not fundamental because it can be calculated from the others.\nHe says that in place of THAT choice of four you can make a logically or algebraically equivalent choice of another four,\nnamely U(1) coupling const, and SU(2) coupling const, and again higgs mass and higgs field expectation value.\nAny way if there really are some coupling constants in the prevailing model of things, what are the numbers?\nI know: 42, but what's the question?\nOriginally posted by dav2008\nMajin was intending a reply to this line in KLKam's original post at the start of the thread:\n\"What does (c) mean?\"\nBut KLKam was not asking about the speed of light so, in fact, Majin's comment was disconnected, as you suggest.\nmarcus, May 9, 2003\nNaa, the EM coupling constant alpha_e is the usual ~1/137. Technically the coupling constants are, well, constants that appear in the vertex term when you do Feynman diagram calculations. Remember Feynman diagrams are just a type of perturbation / power series expansions.... the number of vertices in a diagram is what you are expanding on.\nSo the amplitude for a simple QED process has two vertices, hence a factor of (1/137)^2; the amplitude for a four-vertex process has a factor of (1/137)^4 in it. So we can usually get really good values just by doing the simple diagrams and ignoring the more complicated ones.\nThe weak coupling constant is what you use for weak interactions, eg lepton-neutrino-W vertices (plus some others.)\nThe constants basically represent the strength of the force -- the likelihood of an interaction sorta. It turns out they all 'run' with energy, eg for higher-energy particles you need to use a different 'constant.' The intuitive explanation for this is that the vacuum particle-antiparticle pairs do a sort of polarization shielding -- exactly like the presence of matter alters the permeability/permittivity, and hence the fine structure constant. Higher-energy particles come closer together, hence see less of the shielding and interact differently. For the weak and EM (I think) interactions, this means the coupling gets stronger at close distances; for the strong force it turns out the coupling gets *weaker.*\nWhen you extrapolate the the measured coupling constants vs. energy graphs, it turns out they almost meet at ~10^14 GeV. When you add in SUSY, they meet exactly (within the error margins.)\nIncidentally, because the strong force is so strong, at low energies its coupling constant becomes greater than 1. At this point you can't use traditional Feynman diagrams because the series is obviously divergent. This is a pain in the ass, and there are crazy 'nonperturbative QCD' techniques used to model these interactions. At higher interaction energies -- high-Q deep inelastic scattering for example -- the coupling constant is low enough that we can do the usual Feynman diagram calculations.\nIt helps, thanks. 10^14 GeV is 16,000 joules. Know of anything special about that amount of energy? Is there any\nparticularly useful way to think of it besides the point where these couplings happen to jibe?\nOne landmark, namely Planck energy, is 2 billion joules---so more like 10^19 GeV, way out of the 10^14 GeV ballpark. There must be some different perspective on 10^14 GeV.\nYou say the EM coupling (1/137) gets stronger (you think) and I seem to remember some number like 1/128---not that precisely but vaguely like that---for a bare unshielded real close high energy fine structure constant. I'm pretty sure you are right it does get stronger.\nThe woods are full of things people call \"constants\" which change and run around and aren't constant. I wish I could mentally bridge between the practical experimentally useful constants\nthat are used in perturbative (power series/successive approximation) calculation with Feynmann diagrams and the 26 REAL constants of the Standard Model summarized here:\nIn this brief exposition Baez seems not to be talking about constants that \"run\" but about 26 definite dimensionless numbers. His list does not include 1/137, for instance, because it is calculable from four numbers he calls theoretically more basic.\nI expect or hope that the \"running\" of 1/137 is also calculable from these four theoretically basic numbers. Here's a quote:\n[[Instead of the electromagnetic coupling constant together with the masses of the W, Z, and Higgs, we could have used 4 other constants: the U(1) coupling constant, the SU(2) coupling constant, the mass of the Higgs, and the expectation value of the Higgs field.

In practice, we go back backwards and use the constants that are easy to measure to determine the theoretically more basic ones.]]\nIt may not be fair to ask for help out of this particular patch of quicksand so I will just say thankyou for your earlier reply (but any further insights would be welcome!)\nthe strong force relies on color (i think).\nthe em force relies on charge.\nthe grav force relies on mass.\nwhat does the weak force rely on?\ni've heard some shuffling around of the words W and Z, but it didn't sound like those would be the same thing.\nhttp://blueflag.phys.yorku.ca/yhep/main.html [Broken]\nIn the above website, it says that forces occur because of the exchange of force carrier particles.\nThe carrier of the strong force is the gluon.\nThe carrier of the gravitational force is the gravitron.\nThe force carriers that lead to these decays (weak force) are the W+ and W- particles, which both have an electrical charge, and the neutral Z particle.\nThe carrier of electromagnetic force is the photon, most commonly observed as light.\n1) Do gluon, gravitron, W Z particles really exist? Do they have the same characteristics as photon which has both wave and particle properties?\n2) W+, W-, Z particles.. What are they ?\n3) What is a GeV? The website says GeV's are the standard unit used for mass or energy in high-energy physics. Could someone elaborate that please because I'm not quite sure what it means.\n4) Do you have any websites simple ones about the Standard Model, String theory and M-theory?\nKLscilevothma, May 10, 2003",

        "raw_content": "Is car insurance tax-deductible?\nEverything you need to know about claiming your car insurance as a tax deduction\nIf you\u2019re a car owner, you likely pay an annual or monthly premium to keep your car insured \u2014 which is a good thing! Car insurance protects you from being financially on-the-hook for damage to your car, and it also helps protect you from paying for damage you might do to anyone else\u2019s vehicle. Car insurance also helps in cases of vandalism, theft or damage to your car caused by weather.\nNo matter where you live in the U.S., your state has some sort of minimum car insurance requirement, which means millions car-owning of Americans pay for car insurance.\nAnd if you\u2019re in that sizable group, you might be wondering whether or not you can claim those car insurance payments as a tax deduction this tax season. The answer is possibly \u2014 it really depends on how you use your car. Here\u2019s how to tell if your car insurance payments can be claimed as a tax deduction.\nWhen is your car insurance tax deductible?\nIs car insurance tax deductible if your car is for personal use only?\nA tax deduction is an amount of money you subtract from your yearly taxable income when you file your taxes. But not everything can qualify for a deduction \u2014 there\u2019s a wide variety of expenses that can be claimed as tax deductions, but when it comes to car insurance, claiming even part of your premiums as a deduction can be tricky.\nThe car insurance tax deductions you're eligible for depend on the details of your employment status\nWhen you\u2019re self-employed or a freelancer\nIf you work for yourself and you use your car for your business or work, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019ll be able to claim at least some of your car insurance premiums as a tax deduction. And that\u2019s not all \u2014 in addition to car insurance, there are a whole bunch of other vehicle expenses you might be able to deduct as well, assuming you use your car for your work.\nOther expenses you may be able to deduct include spending on:\nIf you consistently use your car for work-related purposes\nIf you\u2019re a W2 employee but you use your personal vehicle for any work-related purposes, or if you have to drive for work and don\u2019t already get reimbursed by your employer, you may be able to deduct at least some of your premiums (sorry, your normal commute to and from your job doesn\u2019t count as a business expense).\nWork-related uses for your personal car might include any extra trips to pick up supplies or attend meetings, or driving to visit clients or participate in a work-related event, like a conference. You can claim many of the seem auto-related expenses as car-owners who are self-employed, provided you document how and when you used your car for business purposes.\nBut if you got a speeding ticket while rushing to a work function, that\u2019s a no-go, traffic ticket fines are never tax deductible.\nIf your car is mostly for personal use, you usually can\u2019t deduct your car insurance premiums from your taxable income. So the answer is probably no \u2014 sorry about that!\nJust remember the golden rule of getting ready for tax season \u2014 keep great records. Consult a tax professional if you have specific questions about deducting your car insurance or other auto-related expenses from your taxable income, and read more about finding the right auto insurance for you here.",

It provides a broad direction for strategic measures to achieve its five core visions of (i) A Highly Integrated and Cohesive Economy; (ii) A Competitive, Innovative, and Dynamic ASEAN; (iii) Enhanced Connectivity and Sectoral Cooperation; (iv) A Resilient, Inclusive, People-Oriented, and People-Centred ASEAN; and (v) A Global ASEAN. Partnership arrangements with the private sector, industry associations and the wider community at the regional and national levels will also be actively sought and fostered to ensure an inclusive and participatory approach to the integration process. Institutions will be strengthened and enhanced approaches to monitoring and public outreach will likewise be developed to support the effective implementation of the Blueprint.\nComplementary to the ASEAN MRAs; the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications (MRPQ) is a Commission\u2019s initiative to achieve collaborative arrangements for the mutual recognitions of credentials and qualifications by, first, careful research particularly in the perceived gaps in professional competencies and credentialing system in other ASEAN member countries that are usual destination of Filipino Professionals. Second is the determination of areas of specific alignments of different professions. Third is actual visit to the identified foreign jurisdictions are being done to conduct meetings with their counterparts which includes consolidation and validation of research outputs, as well as alignments and non \u2013 alignments of quality frameworks, finally leading to a signed instrument or document of mutual recognition of both local and international professionals.\nThe International Affairs Division (IAD) of PRC convokes a monthly consultative and coordination meeting with the concerned PRBs to updates toward the establishment of MRPQ with their counterparts, to monitor progress and render needed technical and administrative assistance.",

        "raw_content": "Fifty is considered the beginning of your golden years. But to some it seems a age that no-one looks forward to. I remember way back when I thought thirty was old. My sister-in-law was thirty and mum to three young children. One of those young children is now a grandad! And my sister-in-law is no longer with us, another victim of the dreaded cancer.\nI was born in the swinging sixties! I don\u2019t remember much about them. However, I do remember more about the seventies including my, much older, brothers having flares and motorbikes. Not a great combination as my brother will concur after breaking his leg in an accident. They both got married and chose me as a bridesmaid. I do actually remember being a bridesmaid twice when I was six and seven years old, I loved wearing pretty dresses and the fun celebrations. Such memories of joy, all the family together including my Dad.\nAlso in the seventies my life was blighted by my younger brother. I really didn\u2019t want a brother, I wanted a sister and can remember complaining bitterly about his arrival. I guess I got used to him being around, but I can\u2019t help but think about how different my life would have been with a sister instead.\nMy Dad passed away when I was eight, he was only in his fifties. Losing a loved on is such a difficult thing to endure and sometimes it\u2019s difficult to know just what to do. It makes you think of your own mortality when a parent passes away so young. I was terrified of reaching fifty but it didn\u2019t turn out to bad.\nBoth my brothers are in their sixties now and are doing fine, so I guess my Dad dying young was not something that ran in the family. Of course I managed to get sick shortly after my fiftieth birthday which was a major downpoint, but other than that I don\u2019t mind being in my fifties at all.\nSo the fifties are your golden years, in between becoming an adult and becoming old. You have so many things to look back on but still more to look forward to.\nMost women my age are enjoying the freedom from their children growing up and beginning their own lives. They have more time to themselves and in many ways return to the fun times of their earlier years. But, there is also a maturity that helps all the problems of the past seem small and insignificant, because, after all, you survived.\nI chose to have children later in life and that\u2019s why I now have three young ones when most women my age are enjoying grandchildren instead. I love having them around, they keep me feeling so much younger and give me a reason to keep on fighting. I think it would be a lot easier to give up without dependants.\nTo all the young people out there, I\u2019d say, don\u2019t worry about getting older, being in your fifties is not so bad, whether you are a mummy to young children or not. A few more wrinkles and extra bumps and lumps seem insignificant. You can\u2019t look twenty forever, and you really shouldn\u2019t want to. Look at Cher, I don\u2019t think she looks better trying to hide her age. It can be difficult to accept, but once you do, you realise that aged women can also be beautiful.\nI worried so much about getting older, but now I\u2019m enjoying life as it is and looking forward to my sixties next. At least I won\u2019t have to worry about losing my mobility. I just have to keep hold of my marbles and I\u2019ll be fine.\nWhat about you, do you worry about getting older? Is there a particular age you are not looking forward to reaching? Or are you already older and enjoying the benefits?\nfifty, getting older, life and death\nPrevious Post The Christening, and my first time as Godmother\nNext Post Shopping Online using Catalogues\nAge is just a number\u2026That\u2019s what people keep telling me.I\u2019m 40 next year and that was the age which used to scare me\u2026.Now I\u2019m nearly there it doesn\u2019t bother me one bit. Bring it on.\nKim, my 40s were the best years of my life.",

        "raw_content": "Designing a rich and engaging web presence for a thriving community centre\nThe Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver is the heart of a thriving community, offering cultural, athletic, educational, recreational and social programs. Through this programming, it encourages a positive image of Jewish and Israeli culture.\nThe Centre\u2019s previous website was difficult to navigate and administer. It did not properly promote the scope of their programming, and simple tasks, like registering for a program, were challenging.\nAfter a rebranding exercise, the JCC was ready for a new website: a vibrant web presence that better promoted their all-inclusive programming, their community presence, and the value of a membership. They wanted to incorporate their new brand, and also allow their in-house administrators to self-manage content updates easily in an effort to keep the site\u2019s content fresh and relevant.\nRed Rocket facilitated a number of strategy sessions and listened to the JCC\u2019s functionality requests. The result was a comprehensive new site structure that showcased the energy and spirit of the Centre while simplifying the user experience, and allowing their in-house staff to keep the site up to date.\nThe visual design engages the visitor while highlighting key information and raising awareness of upcoming events. Visitors are always presented with the opportunity to enrol in programs, attend cultural events and become members.\nThe main focus was to present their programming: within seconds, visitors can see what\u2019s new, learn more about upcoming events or activities, and purchase a ticket (or register for a program).\nSite architecture established\nIntegration of third-party applications\nTraining for the Centre\u2019s site administrators, that included a custom-built Help Guide\nFocusing on the user: a clearly organized, intuitive navigation structure\nThe JCC offers hundreds of programs for every age group, from fitness to daycare. Some programs require registration and payment, while others are drop-in. Facilities can be rented. The Centre houses a theatre and an art gallery, which host cultural events.\nThe new site structure invites visitors of all ages to access the programs of interest to them. The structure was developed through numerous strategy sessions and user journeys and went through many refinements before its final version.\nThroughout the site, each page includes functionality that addresses member needs and guides visitors to additional information and member services.\nDeveloping an inviting, engaging presence that showcases the JCC\u2019s refreshed identity\nThe JCC of Greater Vancouver\u2019s refreshed visual identity was part of a drive to attract new members and re-engage existing members. They wanted the new site to support the new brand in look and intent.\nWe delivered on those requests, with a clean, crisp design that focuses on the user experience. Its wide, visually compelling banner showcases the facility and its cultural activities. A Spotlight feature highlights upcoming events (and emphasizes the value of JCC membership). The home page focuses on programming, with 80% of its space devoted to programming, and the remaining 20% to member activities. On every page, the colour palette and visual style reinforces the new JCC logo and branding.\nA content-managed system, and the training, to allow JCC staff to keep their content fresh and relevant.\nThe JCC requested a website that they could manage themselves, so they could promote upcoming events and programs. They also needed a system that allows multiple contributors, so the administrative burden could be shared over many people.\nWe selected a secure open-source Content Management System that meets their every need. To ease their team into the new system, we held a series of hands-on training sessions, and continue to provide training/support on an ongoing basis. We also created a custom Help book for JCC staff to use as a reference guide for years to come.\nWe love our new website designed by Red Rocket Creative.Their team took the time to listen to us about our business and our goals for the website.\nOur branding (fonts, colours and the overall look) was incorporated very well, and responsive design makes it user friendly across various platforms.It\u2019s been a pleasure working with Toks, who was always helpful and prompt with returning calls and emails when I had questions or concerns. And we have hired the Red Rocket for our monthly maintenance.\nAlla Elperin\nJCC Graphic Designer, Website Administrator",

        "raw_content": "Is Jon Snow Returning To GoT?\nApparently Jon Snow Is Not Definitely Dead & Here's Proof\nImage courtesy of HBO\nDespite the fact that we watched Jon Snow die during the season 5 finale of Game of Thrones, fans have been unwilling to believe that the beloved character (played by Kit Harington) won't be making a comeback in season 6. As it turns out, our instincts might be spot on.\nThough Carice van Houten, who plays fire-loving Melisandre, has said that she's \"in the dark\" about Snow's return, she has also commented that he \"can't be dead,\" adding fuel to the flames of Jon Snow-fan theories. What's more: Recently, Harington was spotted flying from London to Belfast, where the rest of the GoT cast is assembled for filming. Tom Wlaschiha, a.k.a. faceless man Jaqen H'ghar, was also on the flight. It seems highly unlikely that both cast members just happened to be traveling to Ireland at the same time on the same plane for non-GoT related reasons, though it's impossible to confirm otherwise at this point. And, while it's possible that Harington is only going to be playing the deceased version of his character, we remain unconvinced \u2014 and very hopeful.\nAlso of note: The fan who captured Harington en route from England also managed to snap a shot of the back of his head. Rejoice, man-bun-lovers: He's still sporting that signature coif, and all is right with the world.\nKit Harington Jon Snow Season 6 Game of Thrones",

        "raw_content": "Seaside, Oregon Real Estate and Community Information\nLocated only 80 miles from Portland, the historic community of Seaside is brimming with lovely oceanfront resorts, exciting attractions, and memorable seaside vistas. Each year, thousands of visitors are attracted to the beautiful town for the ocean side ambiance and the millions of razor clams produced by the unique gradual slope and broad sandy beaches found at Clatsop Spit.\nIncorporated in 1899, the town of Seaside has long been one of the most popular oceanfront communities located along Oregon's Pacific Coast. The small town boasts a residential population of approximately 6,445 but can swell in size during the summer season.\nThe charming oceanfront community of 4.14 square miles is located in beautiful Clatsop County, Oregon. The town's long history as a resort is reflected in the community's name. The name of Seaside was derived from the name of the Seaside House, a historic summer resort. The Seaside House built by the railroad magnate Ben Holladay was first opened in the 1870s.\nSeaside History\nThe town of Seaside has a long and colorful history. The area that the town occupies has long been the site of oceanfront villages. Originally the site of a Native American Clatsop Village known as Necotat, the area of Seaside was discovered by Lewis and Clark on their notorious westward expedition. Lewis and Clark established a base for their expeditions approximately 15 miles north of where Seaside stands today.\nShortly after Lewis and Clark returned from their successful expedition, settlers made their way into the northwestern reaches of the country's Pacific Coast. Fur trading, trapping, fishing, and logging became popular in the region, and in 1811 Fort Astoria was established in the region.\nBy the 1820s settlers began arriving in the area to make claims on the land. Additionally, people made their way to the Pacific Coast to experience the stunning beauty of the Oregon Coast. Those in search of a beautiful vacation experience would travel by water down the Columbia to Fort Astoria and then travel to the seaside.\nThe need for lodgings along the scenic coast became apparent, and in 1850, Seaside's first guest home was opened. In 1870, Ben Holladay purchased the property and built a luxurious seaside resort. Holladay named his hotel the Seaside House. The house stood as an imposing Italian-style villa along the coast. The grounds of the estate extended over the acreage that is today Seaside Golf Course. The luxury resort was a thing of beauty and features impeccable landscaping, a first-class race track, stables, a wooden bridge, and a fish trap.\nBy the turn of the century, the town was growing to meet the demands of the ever-increasing numbers of area visitors arriving by rail. Over the next century, Seaside has grown into a fantastic town that supports the most popular resort economy to be found along the Northwest Coast.\nLife In Seaside\nLife in Seaside means enjoying walks on the Seaside Promenade, watching as the crashing waves come to shore, and absorbing the colors of the stunning beach side sunsets. Residents of Seaside are able to embrace a life rarely lived, one of true beauty with the opportunity for adventure around every turn. Throughout the year, visitors are made witness to the scenic beauty and local wildlife that is present throughout the Northwestern Coast. Watch as the Elk migrate in the winter or observe as eagles soar high above the Necanicum Estuary.\nWithin the town of Seaside, there are an equal number of opportunities for enjoyment to be found on the streets as there are to be found upon the town's sandy shores. Residents of the quaint seaside village are able to enjoy a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants offered in the picturesque seaside village.\nAdditionally, the town offers a number of events throughout the year. Each month, residents of Seaside enjoy the First Saturday Art Walk. The cultural event allows residents to experience the work of renowned regional artists as they primer their new work.\nInterested in making Seaside the site of your next home? Contact David Hoggard and get details about the latest homes for sale in Seaside, Oregon. Don't miss out of the exciting opportunities that await in this ocean side town.\nThe community of Seaside is home to a number of exciting attractions and opportunities for enjoyment. The residents of Seaside are able to enjoy the activities provided by beach access as well as a number of other attractions present throughout the small coastal village.\nResidents of Seaside enjoy walking the town's 1.5 mile Promenade. The historic oceanfront walk has graced the village with great recreational possibilities since the 1920s. Those interested in walking, jogging or enjoying the seaside air will not be disappointed with the view or the promenade's close proximity to other attractions, such as the Seaside Aquarium and the Lewis and Clark monument.\nShearwater Gallery\nButterfield Cottage\nThe town of Seaside is surrounded by intently beautiful wonders of nature. Area's in and around Seaside offer popular locations for hiking, biking, jogging, swimming, fishing, kayaking, clamming, crabbing, and wildlife viewing.\nQuatat Park\nCartwright Park\nNecanicum Estuary Natural History Park\nSeltzer Park\nMillponds Park\nIn addition to the great local parks within the town of Seaside residents have access to many nearby State Parks as well as the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. State Parks in the area include the Arcadia Beach State Recreation Site, the Del Ray Beach State Recreation Site, Ecola State Park, the Hug Point State Recreation Site, the Oswald West State Park, the Saddle Mountain State Natural Area, and the Tolovana Beach State Recreation Site\nIn addition, residents of Seaside enjoy a number of exciting local events throughout the year.

        "raw_content": "We Expect Nothing And We\u2019re Prepared To Fight For Everything - Keith Hill\nAfter last weekend\u2019s game against Wigan Athletic was postponed due to international duty, Rochdale return to action this Saturday with a trip to Oldham Athletic.\nSpeaking ahead of the fixture, Manager Keith Hill said that the players had a few days rest and recuperation last week, but returned to training on Sunday, as preparations started for the derby day encounter at Sportsdirect.com Park.\n\u201cWe had a good rest and a good recovery,\u201d commented Hill.\n\u201cWe played the game against Blackburn Rovers on the Tuesday night, and then the players had four days of rest and recovery from what has been a hard first part of the season. We came in on Sunday to get the lethargic mentality out of the way and we\u2019ve had a superb week.\u201d\nWhilst Hill is aware of how much a local derby means to fans, he\u2019s keen to keep the sideshows out of his preparations for the match.\n\u201cThe local derby belongs to the supporters.\n\u201cI don\u2019t get over-emotional in my preparation, whether it\u2019s Bury, Oldham or the local rivalry that we had with Bolton last season. I try and prepare and let the sideshows take care of themselves. The main event is the game and that\u2019s where the players, again, have got to be emotionally in control, and service the supporters with a good performance.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a 46-game season, not a one game season, and you have to be calm and composed so you can think clearly when you have to make decisions. We have to show the same sort of focus on Saturday come match time.\"\nAsked whether Dale would be favorites or underdogs going into the fixture, Hill commented: \u201cIf I\u2019m being honest with you, I prepare to be underdogs in every game we play, and I want an underdog mentality. The way we prepare is that we expect nothing and make sure we\u2019re prepared to fight for everything. That\u2019s the way I always prepare my team.\u201d\nOldham Athletic vs Rochdale on 18 Nov 17",

He said it\u2019s unhealthy and generally wrong to hang out with someone of the opposite sex unless you\u2019re in a romantic relationship with them. I have quite a few male friends that I don\u2019t want to lose OR go out with, so can you reassure me that my dad is wrong? \u2014Inez, UK\nShort answer: Your dad is wrong.\n(Very) long answer: My late mother-in-law was a marriage and family therapist who specialized in adultery. She wrote this book called Not \u201cJust Friends\u201d in which she argued that it\u2019s OK for married people to be friends with people of the gender(s) they\u2019re attracted to so long as they don\u2019t tell those friends things they don\u2019t tell their spouses, which seems wise and reasonable. But, probably because she had given this idea so much thought, and perhaps because she was understandably protective of her only son, she sometimes seemed too cautious. During one of her visits to Chicago, where my husband and I used to live, I skipped out on dinner with her one night to go hang out with a male friend of mine, also visiting from out of town. Our plan was to hang out in his hotel room, get room service, listen to something he was working on, and watch TV. My mother-in-law was fully scandalized by this plan\u2014she said it was totally inappropriate for me to meet ANOTHER MAN in a HOTEL ROOM. After all, hotel rooms have BEDS in them, and beds are good surfaces for BONIN\u2019.\nThe things her fears didn\u2019t take into account are many: First of all, this is not Mad Men. This is real life. Second, my friend and I were not attracted to each other, as far as I knew, but even if we were, I am in a monogamous relationship. That means I don\u2019t get naked with every person I\u2019m ever attracted to, or else I would rarely be clothed. If I got naked with every friend I have any attraction to, I would be freezing almost all of the time, because there would be nothing protecting my epidermis from the outside elements. I\u2019m actually not sure there\u2019s such thing as a 100% platonic friendship\u2014love and affection and friend-attraction and sex-attraction and friend-feelings and romantic feelings are all too mixed up together to ever be cleanly separated. I\u2019m attracted to my friends\u2014male and female\u2014and in love with my friends, but I don\u2019t have sex with any of them, because I don\u2019t act on my every passing thought or urge. Thank god\u2014otherwise I\u2019d be in jail for jumping subway turnstiles, murdering street harassers, and/or pouring whole shelves of Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Hearts into my bag and running out of the store, sans paying. I\u2019m guessing you don\u2019t act on every urge of yours, either. Not to mention that your dad\u2019s theory doesn\u2019t make any sense for gay girls\u2014are they supposed to be friends only with men, because obviously they will try to have sex with any and every girl they hang out with? Or, geez, what if you\u2019re bi or pansexual or just sexually open-minded? YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANY FRIENDS AT ALL.\nThe ideas held by your dad and, to a lesser extent, my husband\u2019s mom, are deeply sexist, because they assume that there\u2019s no reason for a man to want to get to know a woman if she\u2019s not going to sleep with him, and vice versa, because those two genders have nothing in common, because we are essentially DIFFERENT SPECIES. On the other hand, getting to know a woman that he\u2019s not fucking can help a man understand what all women go through (and vice versa). So, basically, CROSS-GENDER FRIENDSHIP CAN END SEXISM. Or at least it can help. It certainly can\u2019t hurt.\nAlso, since friendship is almost always conducted by people who see each other as equals, more or less, when a boy and a girl become friends, that\u2019s proof to everyone out there that it isn\u2019t necessary to see girls and women as something lesser than (or even different from!) boys and men. So, obviously, CROSS-GENDER FRIENDSHIP CAN TOPPLE THE PATRIARCHY. Or at least not support or contribute to it.\nI\u2019ve had male best friends all my life, and those have been some of the most gratifying, fun, interesting, meaningful, and beautiful friendships I\u2019ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I literally wouldn\u2019t be who I am without certain dudes I\u2019ve been friends with (most of them straight!) who challenged me intellectually, introduced me to new culture and ideas, gave me advice, and shared their inner lives with me. I did have sex with a couple of them, but so what? I was single then, and sometimes friends have sex! To me it was another way of expressing affection and love, and no one freaked out, and it didn\u2019t RUIN the friendship. It probably deepened it. We didn\u2019t try to be boyfriend-girlfriend, but what if we did? Romantic relationships that started off as \u201cjust\u201d friendships seem pretty much ideal, don\u2019t they?\nNow, there is one circumstance where I think friendship is potentially hurtful and definitely difficult: when one of you, no matter what gender, is in love with the other, but those feelings aren\u2019t mutual. This can work sometimes, but IME, more often than not someone gets jealous, resentful, and mad.\nIn summation: Be friends with boys! Boys: They\u2019re just like us! Be careful if one of you is in love with the other but not vice versa! Your dad is wrong, and you can tell him I said so! \u2014Anaheed\nMusic is everything to me, and I really want to start a band. My friend agreed to be the guitarist, and I plan on playing bass and singing, but we can\u2019t find anyone interested in drumming for us, because the few drummers in this town are already in bands. How do we find a drummer? \u2014Marisa, 16, Jackson, Michigan\nDrummers are the hardest to find of any kind of band member\u2014I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s an actual scientific fact. The first bands of almost everyone I know, if they didn\u2019t have a drummer from the get-go, always wound up with, like, their sister\u2019s metalhead friend who was just looking for another excuse to show off his double-kick-drum problem. The best way to find anybody to play music with is to get the word out as much as you can, so tell your musical friends that you\u2019re looking, and go to as many shows as you can to network with people in your local scene who might play, or know someone who does.\nIf you can\u2019t find the perfect percussionist right off the bat, don\u2019t sweat it! In my experience, just learning how to write songs and play an instrument on your own is hard enough, though it\u2019s a nice advantage (and just nice in general) when you have a friend nearby to musically struggle and strive with. Having a band is super fun, even in the very beginning, when it\u2019s kind of annoying that your skill level or sound doesn\u2019t yet match what you originally imagined yourself doing. So even if you don\u2019t have your full lineup set yet, keep playing with your friend and working on tracks. I was in a band for nine months once before we found a singer, but the cool thing was, by the time we all got together, we had already written six really good songs that were totally worked out, because we practiced three times a week for two hours and didn\u2019t let our lack of a singer impede us. You can always jump other members in later, you know?\nLet\u2019s just say, worst-case-scenario style, that you straight-up just can\u2019t find a drummer, after an exhaustive hunt. You\u2019ve still got options. There are a bunch of different drum machines you could work with or learn to program, or you could make your own beats in Garage Band if either you or your friend has access to a Mac, which is really helpful if you\u2019re writing songs and want to see how they\u2019d sound with percussion. If you want to actually play shows with a drum machine, you can simply plug in your phone or a CD or a laptop into a PA (you\u2019ll need an adaptor) or into the secondary input on your amp (or borrow a practice amp from someone). This solution isn\u2019t all bad\u2014having an electronic drummer means one less person to schedule practice around, and it makes playing shows easier (less gear, faster load-out). Good luck, and keep us posted on your band! \u2014Jessica\nbands boys BTs class privilege drummers flirting friends just wondering parents privilege starting a band wealth privilege\nCures for Love\nAsk a Grown Man: Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich\ngr-ass January 21st, 2014 11:31 PM\ni feel you so hard on being called cute. im 4\u201910 and the only thing people say when they see me is \u201comg youre so cute!!\u201d and i should be flattered at the compliment but im so sick of being called cute all the time! i wanna be thought of as hot or sexy or beautiful not cute yknow\nAnielica January 24th, 2014 9:39 AM\nI hate those sorts of compliments that just end up being a bit insulting. Like constantly hearing, \u201cyou\u2019re so cute!\u201d or \u201cyour face is so tiny!\u201d or \u201cyou\u2019re so skinny!\u201d It\u2019s especially been annoying because I\u2019ve got pretty low self confidence and a lot of the time I find myself ugly and unattractive, and hearing \u2018you\u2019re cute\u2019 when I wish I could be told I was beautiful or looked pretty is pretty awful.\nPSA: Even if you mean it as a compliment, think twice. I also look a bit younger than my age, so I\u2019m sensitive about being called cute b/c I\u2019m trying to look older, not little and cute! Ugh.\nEmily January 21st, 2014 11:52 PM\nTo the girl who was looking for a drummer, Nirvana went through like six drummers before they found Chris Novoselic, and they\u2019ve been nominated into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. So keep looking but don\u2019t freak if you don\u2019t find the perfect one at first. Good luck!\nfroctopus January 22nd, 2014 2:20 AM\nNirvana\u2019s drummer was Dave Grohl, now lead singer of the Foo Fighters. Chris Novoselic was the bassist.\nBut I agree, drummers come and go from bands like crazy sometimes. Don\u2019t give up on the search, it\u2019s well worth it being in a band.\nsadie lidji January 21st, 2014 11:59 PM\nAmy Rose u r the best\nhonorarygilmoregal January 22nd, 2014 1:10 AM\nRookies always give the best advice :)\nRisainSanFrancisca January 22nd, 2014 1:34 AM\nThis is perf <3 especially love the privilege stuff, being a well-off white person gives me a ton that I'm always checking myself on and making sure I'm not being accidentally racist/classist/etc.- at least as a lesbian I just have to worry about my friends!

And the most amusing thing is that we have it just the opposite. In India arranged marriage is dominant, so dating and romance and other lovely things are normally frowned upon.

I was called cute a lot a couple of years ago, and it bothered me to a stressful extent. Because others couldn\u2019t see my other qualities(ya know, the ones that weren\u2019t just \u201ccute\u201d), I chose to see those qualities myself. Same for the sex-appeal situation. It was only when I got more comfy with myself did boys(REALLY REALLY CUTE BOYS)start checking me out, THANK GOD. And I\u2019m still the same bubbly, geeky girl I was before they checked me out. The only difference was was that I\u2019ve been working on liking myself more, and that somehow projects radiates off of me and gets hotties to check me out. So yeah.

I\u2019m pretty solidly middle-class, so I\u2019m better off than a lot of people, but I\u2019m going to a private college with some very rich people- and it\u2019s also a very liberal college, so class privilege is an idea they have some familiarity with. a lot of them either bend over backwards to reassure the world they aren\u2019t THAT rich (\u201cyeah, my family has a couple summer houses, but they\u2019re small and we share them with all my cousins\u2019 families so you know no big deal lol\u201d) or act like they hate their lives (\u201cI wish my parents would stop buying me things and give the money to charity instead, I don\u2019t deserve this, ugh\u201d). it\u2019s annoying as hell tbh. I know they\u2019re trying but it\u2019s unproductive and also kinda comes across as humblebragging. I wish I could print out your article and show it to them because \u201cyou can just be grateful\u201d is something they really need to hear.\nAnya N.

I would never bring down a friend who was excited about something just because I don\u2019t have the same privilege.\nI don\u2019t believe in guilt tripping people for the crime of being born into a family who is fortunate enough to be able to provide them with things that makes them happy. It would be nice if we could all live that way. Unfortunately we can\u2019t. Life is sort of a gamble, and through whatever chances of fate or decisions that end badly, some come out on top and some don\u2019t. It is impossible to change this.\nI have NEVER resented it. I don\u2019t believe in deluding myself that if others had less I would have more.\nGrowing up I would listen to my friends gush about their vacations in Hawaii and see them take for granted their ipods and American girl dolls and designer clothes while I had no plumbing and was sleeping on the floor.\nAnd I was fine with it. Its frankly ridiculous and selfish to live your life expecting everyone to hide their financial good fortune from you and wallow in guilt because they committed the CRIME of being happy and having privileges that some people don\u2019t.\nShould I cry over every plate of food because there are places in the world where children go hungry? We should always try and help those who have less but in between helping live your life, be happy and grateful, and don\u2019t waste your time in useless pity that doesn\u2019t help anybody.\nchampagnecoast January 25th, 2014 12:15 AM\nThank you for this comment! I agree, what your roommate said wasn\u2019t cool at all. For me it comes down to \u201cdon\u2019t make other people feel like crap for being born into their circumstances\u201d (whether that be wealth or otherwise)\nCompletely agree (I grew up poor too). It wasn\u2019t even like she was bragging about her parents buying her cool stuff, she\u2019d saved up to be able to do cool stuff, and that\u2019s a real achievement and I wouldn\u2019t call anyone who can\u2019t celebrate my achievements with me a friend.\nnellie79 January 27th, 2014 6:27 PM\nI agree as well (also grew up poor), she clearly wasn\u2019t bragging and the dude shouldn\u2019t made her feel bad just cause she was born into a privileged family. Believe me, I have lots of friends who are upper middle class and I\u2019d never make them feel bad about being excited for something they saved up for or if their parents are doing for something for them.\nHonestly I\u2019m happy to see someone who is privileged and trying to become more aware regardless.\nelliecp January 23rd, 2014 1:20 PM\nto the first question\u2026I\u2019ve found people often have opinions that do not agree with my own morals. The best thing to do is accept that that is how they feel, but basically take no notice and live the way YOU think is right. Don\u2019t stress about it, and trust your gut.\nchameleon22 January 24th, 2014 8:35 PM\nHey Anaheed, I just wanted to mention that your answer meant a lot to me. in fact, I am commenting now because I returned to this page several days later to reread it. As someone who\u2019s constantly falling in love with their friends, your advice was so comforting. Thanks.\nAnaheed January 25th, 2014 12:33 AM\nThank you so much for saying this! It warmed my heart. Constantly falling in love with your friends = evidence that you have a huge heart and haven\u2019t let life reduce your capacity for love.\nverosaysmoo January 25th, 2014 12:31 AM\nWONDERFUL.

        "title": "US Open in Review",
        "raw_content": "When it was all said and done at the 2018 US Open, Novak Djokovic tied Pete Sampras for third on the all-time list by hoisting his 14th Grand Slam singles trophy while Naomi Osaka celebrated her first Grand Slam title. They were far from the only notable stories at this tournament, however. Highlighted below are some of the US Open's pleasant surprises and disappointments, as well as young players to watch for in the future.\nJohn Isner - After reaching the quarterfinals just once in his first 40 Grand Slam tournaments, Isner has done so in each of the past two, backing up his semifinal run at Wimbledon with a quarterfinal result in Flushing Meadows. Any conversation about Isner has to start with the serve, but the recent improvements to the rest of his game have been the key to his recent uptick in results. The top-ranked American still can't touch the Big 3, but he's firmly entrenched himself in the next tier.\nKei Nishikori - Injuries were to blame for Nishikori's decline since reaching the world No. 4 ranking in 2015, but the Japanese 28-year-old seems to have finally built his game all the way back up. Look for a healthy Nishikori to carry over the momentum from this semifinal run with a strong finish to the 2018 season and beyond.\nRoger Federer - Fourth-round losses at the US Open are nothing to be ashamed of, but the way in which Federer allowed 55th-ranked John Millman to knock him out was shocking. Millman didn't need to do much besides keep the ball in play and let Federer implode, as the Australian Open champ donated 77 unforced errors, including 10 double faults. Rumors of Federer's impending demise have been overblown for years, but it's fair to question whether he can string together enough great performances to contend for big tournaments anymore while Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are both healthy.\nAlexander Zverev - If you only watch Grand Slams, you're probably wondering how Zverev is earning a top-10 seed, much less the No. 4 distinction. The 21-year-old German already has three times as many career Masters 1000 titles as three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka (three to Wawrinka's one), but Zverev has failed to bring his best on the biggest stage. Whether he's folding under high expectations or doesn't trust his fitness in best-of-five tennis, it's unacceptable for Zverev to keep losing to players like Philipp Kohlschreiber and Ernests Gulbis when it matters most.\nAmerica's tennis development program - Young Americans have given us plenty to get excited about on the women's side, but we can't really say the same for the men. Of the 18 Americans in the draw on the men's side, only Isner and Taylor Fritz got as far as the third round, with the latter losing at that stage. America's Grand Slam drought stretches all the way back to Andy Roddick at the 2003 US Open, and it doesn't look like it's coming to an end any time soon.\nRising Youngsters\nAlex de Minaur - De Minaur has been shooting up the rankings of late, and the 19-year-old Australian showed why at this tournament. He dropped just three games to Taro Daniel in the first round, then dispatched of fellow youngster Frances Tiafoe in four convincing sets before falling to 2014 champion Marin Cilic in a five-set thriller. The decision to move from 32 seeded players to 16 starting at the 2019 Australian Open will reduce the likelihood of de Minaur earning easier draws in the immediate future, but he has the skills to make deep runs nonetheless.\nKaren Khachanov - Khachanov gave Nadal all he could handle in the third round before the world No. 1 ultimately escaped with a 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (7), 7-6 (3) victory. Considering Nadal won 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (3) when the two met in the same round at last year's Wimbledon, it's clear Khachanov is making progress as far as his belief against the top guys goes. If the 6-foot-6, 22-year-old from Moscow stops running into Nadal early, he could soon start making some serious noise at the big tournaments.\nNaomi Osaka - Serena's controversial run-in with the chair umpire took some luster off Osaka's breakthrough moment, but it's important to remember that Osaka was already up a set and in control of their championship match before Williams' coach made the hand motions that set off the tumultuous series of events to follow. The 20-year-old Osaka was incredible throughout this tournament, dropping just one set en route to the title. We've seen quite a few players on the women's side experience a temporary dip in performance after winning their first Grand Slam in the past few years, but those players were older than Osaka when they finally broke through and did so in less dominant fashion.\nAnastasija Sevastova - Sevastova was overwhelmed by Serena in the semifinals, but just getting there was a tremendous accomplishment for the No. 19 seed. While she can't match the natural power of most opponents, Sevastova's mix of variety, speed and will to win have allowed her to achieve results that seemed unthinkable when injuries and illness led her to retire from tennis in 2013. Back and better than ever, the 28-year-old even avenged last year's heartbreaking quarterfinals loss to Sloane Stephens in the same round. Between Sevastova and basketball unicorn Kristaps Porzingis, New York has recently been treated to some amazing athletic performances by people born in the 70,000-person city of Liepaja, Latvia.\nTop seeds - This tournament wasn't kind to highly-seeded women, with just one of the top five getting past the third round. Top-ranked Simona Halep came in nursing an Achilles injury and promptly became the first No. 1 seed ever to crash out in the first round of the US Open. Caroline Wozniacki came into this tournament struggling, and those struggles continued with a second-round loss to Lesia Tsurenko. Stephens actually made a respectable run to the quarterfinals, but her tournament ended with a 6-2, 6-3 loss to Sevastova, whom she defeated en route to the title in 2017. Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova both lost in the third round to players seeded outside the top 25. The highest-ranked women have had less of a stranglehold on the game than elite men in recent years, but this was a whole new level of disappointment for the top seeds.\nMaria Sharapova - Sure, Sharapova knocked out 10th-seeded Jelena Ostapenko, or more accurately happened to be the player on the other side of the net while Ostapenko imploded with 41 unforced errors in 17 games. But the Russian star fell to 23-1 in night matches at Arthur Ashe Stadium with a straight sets loss to Carla Suarez Navarro in the Round of 16. Since serving a 15-month suspension for meldonium, Sharapova's reached the quarterfinals in just one of five Grand Slams. Her last 15 Grand Slams prior to the ban featured nine trips to the quarters or better and just one loss before the Round of 16. Whether purely mental or physical, Sharapova certainly seemed to get an edge from the prohibited substance that's no longer present in her game.\nCoco Vandeweghe - Much was expected of Vandeweghe after she reached the semifinals at this tournament last season, but she followed up her breakout 2017 campaign with a nightmare 2018. Her first-round loss to Kirsten Flipkens dropped Vandeweghe to 1-4 in Grand Slam matches on the year. Vandeweghe salvaged her fortnight by winning the women's doubles title with partner Ashleigh Barty, but the American's singles game is in shambles.\nAryna Sabalenka - Sabalenka looks destined to crack the top five, maybe as soon as next season. The 20-year-old recently cracked the top 20, and she knocked off Kvitova in straight sets before losing 6-4 in the third to eventual champion Osaka. Sabalenka crushes the ball with her ground strokes, and she's getting better and better at controlling her power. Her run here should put the rest of the WTA on notice.\nMarketa Vondrousova - Vondrousova tightened up and lost a very winnable fourth-round match to Tsurenko, but this tournament was still a rousing success for the Czech teenager. The lefty's best junior results came in doubles \u2013 she won the girls' doubles at both the Australian Open and French Open in 2015 \u2013 but she's quickly making a name for herself in singles as well.",

        "title": "In Katrina aftermath, State Farm went out of its way to avoid paying claims \u2014 RT USA News",
        "raw_content": "Navy Chief Aviation Warfare Systems Operator Scott Pierceas he looks out from the cabin of an SH-60 Seahawk helicopter at the flooded New Orleans streets caused by Hurricane Katrina on 07 September, 2005 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (AFP Photo) \u00a9 AFP\nIn what could well end up becoming the first in a number of similar legal defeats for State Farm insurance, a federal jury in Mississippi has charged the company with fraud relating to a 2005 claim made in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.\nAs ABC News first reported in 2006, two former State Farm employees, the Rigby sisters, came forward with accusations of having witnessed an epidemic of fraud at the company\u2019s offices in Biloxi and Gulfport. According to the two, company supervisors instructed staff to \u201cbury\u201d or modify damage reports to avoid payouts.\nEven worse, the claim which was the subject of the recent court case had been hidden in a special file with a note reading \"Put in Wind File. DO NOT Pay Bill. DO NOT discuss.\"\nThe recent charges pertain to one single case, in which State Farm reduced its liability by claiming that damage to a home was caused by flooding rather than high winds. Evidence provided by the Rigsby sisters proved that the company filed a false report in order to avoid paying the homeowner instead of the federal government\u2019s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).\nNow, a judge has ordered State Farm to reimburse the NFIP for a sum of $250,000, and potentially more once additional damages are determined. The Sun Herald has reported that, though the money involved may not sound like much, it could set precedent that will push along a longer list of potential liabilities.\nThe jury was also shown evidence that a State Farm flood claims manager, Lecky King, believed that some policyholders were \u201cso desperate\u201d that they would have said anything to receive a payout. For their part, the Rigsbys were able to prove that the insurance company considered Katrina \u201ca water storm,\u201d and trained its adjusters to enforce that view by influencing engineering companies and their damage assessments.\nStill, considering the widespread damages and the complexities of the insurance liabilities involved, which can vary depending on policies, proving further instances of fraud may not be easy. During this latest case, the jury was presented with evidence of other nearby homes that, though they were totaled during Hurricane Katrina, were literally blown away before waters rose.\nHurricane Katrina proved to be the costliest single natural disaster in US history, killing 238 and causing billions in damage within the state of Mississippi alone. Following landfall, officials estimated that some 90% of structures along the state\u2019s coastline had been leveled by the storm, with a recorded water surge that was the highest in the history of the US.\nInsurance companies faced massive losses following Katrina, which the Insurance Information Institute reports as the costliest disaster in the industry\u2019s history. A total of $41.1 billion was distributed amongst 1.7 million claims, with the state of Mississippi accounting for one third of losses.\nHurricane Sandy: Make or break for the US economy\nCrumbling levees threaten US with new Katrina\nOfficials 'can't account for' $700 million in Katrina aid",

And what a memorable location it is. its the only destination where gorilla trekking is done in Rwanda and its the natural habitat for the mountain gorillas.\nThis 160km\u00b2 national park protects the Rwandan sector of the Virunga Mountains, range of six extinct and three active volcanoes which straddles the borders with Uganda and the Democratic republic of congo. The Volcanoes Park is part of a contiguous 433km\u00b2 Trans frontier conservation unit that also includes the Virungas National Park and Mgahinga National Park, which protects the DRC and Ugandan sectors of the Virungas respectively. The three national parks are managed separately today ( that is if the word \u201cmanaged can be applied to any park in the DRC at the time of writing). Prior to 1960, however, the Volcanoes and Virungas Parks together formed the Albert National Park.\nThe Volcanoes National Park is best known to the outside world as the place where for almost 20yrs the American primatologist Dian Fossey under took her pioneering studies of mountain gorilla behavior. It is largely thanks to Fossey\u2019s single-mindedness that poaching was curtailed while there were still some gorillas to save. For her dedication , Fossey would pay the ultimate price still some gorillas still unsolved \u2013 murder at the Karisoke Research Centre in December 1985 is generally thought to have been the work of one of the many poachers with whom she crossed swords in her efforts to save her gorillas.\nThree years after her death, Fossey\u2019s life work was exposed to a mass audience with the release of Gorilla in the mist, a cinematic account of her life filmed on location in the Volcanoes Park. Gorilla in the Mist drew global attention to the plight of the mountain gorilla and generated unprecedented interest in the gorilla tourism programme that had been established in the park some ten years earlier. In 1990, the\nVolcanoes Park was the best organized and most popular gorilla sanctuary in Africa and gorilla tourism was probably Rwanda\u2019s leading earner of tourist revenue.\nPrimate Tracking\nPrimate Tracking including the mountain gorillas , Golden Monkey Tracking remains the most popular activity here, with a total of up to 40 permits issued daily, eight for each of the five habituated troops. But Volcanoes National Park is not just about mountain gorillas. Tourists who previously came for just one night can now stay for four or five and still not run out of things to do. Trekking, walking and climbing are now well organised, from a two-day ascent of Karisimbi to a non-strenuous nature walk to a cluster of crater later, but the most exciting innovation is that tourists can now visit habituated troop of the near-endemic golden monkey. Rwanda Gorilla Trek Offers gorilla tracking safaris in Rwanda.\nGetting there & Transportation to Virunga National Park\nThe normal base for visiting the Volcanoes Park is Musanze (formerly Ruhengeri), which can easily be reached on public transport from Gisenyi, Kigali on the day you track (you need to be at the ORTPN office in Kinigi, by the park entrance, by 07.00), but this isn\u2019t a reliable option using public transport. There is no public transport between Musanze and the park headquarters at Kinigi.\nWhere to Stay, Accommodations in Volcanoes National Park\nThere is no accommodation within the national park and overnight camping is forbidden. Check with ORTPN about camping possibilities nearby. For those on a restricted budget, the best option is to overnight in Musanze, but smarter and more convenient accommodation is available near the park headquarters at Kinigi or at the superior but more distant Virunga Lodge overlooking Lake Burera.",

        "raw_content": "Opponents have expressed moral objections to assisted death and raised concerns about whether the law has enough protections in place for elderly, poor and disabled Californians who are vulnerable to being taken advantage of in the health care system. But Riverside County Superior Court Judge Daniel A. Ottolia ultimately decided against the law on much narrower grounds, ruling that the Legislature passed it improperly during a special session on health care funding.\nHow was the law passed?\nThe push for assisted death initially failed during the 2015 legislative session, because the bill could not get past the Assembly Health Committee. The authors revived their proposal in a special session formed that summer, where it was approved by a reconfigured committee and then eventually signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. Plaintiffs in a 2016 lawsuit argued that Brown called the special session to deal with a funding shortage for public health programs and that the assisted death law did not meet that criteria, while supporters of the law contend that it fit within Brown's stated objective to \"improve the efficiency and the efficacy of the health care system.\" Ottolia, who has previously said he is \"disturbed\" by the way the law was passed, sided with the plaintiffs on Tuesday.\nThe court is holding its judgment for five days to give the state time to file an emergency appeal, so the assisted death law is not off the books just yet. Attorney General Xavier Becerra said Tuesday that he disagrees with the ruling and will seek an expedited review. The uncertainty could affect hundreds of Californians. Though current figures are not available, 258 individuals began the assisted death process in the first seven months after it became available in 2016, and 111 died from ingesting the lethal drugs during that time.\nCalifornia assisted death law overturned in court\nAssisted death battle drags on in California\nHow many people have taken advantage of California\u2019s assisted death law?\nAmanda Friedland, left, adjusts her friend Betsy Davis' sash as Davis lies on a bed during her \"Right to Die Party\" surrounded by friends and family in Ojai. At the end of the party, the 41-year-old woman diagnosed with ALS took a cocktail of lethal drugs and died, becoming one of the first California residents to take life-ending drugs under a law that gave such an option to the terminally ill.Niels AlpertAP file",

        "raw_content": "Kissimmee Resident Arrested for Selling Fake Tickets to Kennedy Space Center\nAnyone who has ever been tempted to sell a less-than-legitimate ticket to an event, museum, or game should take note: Selling forged tickets can lead to serious criminal charges. A resident of Kissimmee, Florida, was arrested in mid-February for creating and selling fake tickets to Kennedy Space Visitor\u2019s Center through Craigslist for $35. He now faces 12 criminal charges that could lead to years in prison and probation, heavy fines, and a permanent criminal record. If you have been charged with a state or federal crime related to illegal ticket sales, contact an experienced Kissimmee criminal defense lawyer today for help.\nA Man\u2019s Scam Led to Multiple Criminal Charges\nAn investigation into fake tickets began in December when the Kennedy Space Center realized individuals were entering with expired tickets and a day handstamp. A private investigator found the defendant\u2019s online ads, which led to police involvement. Next, Brevard County Sheriff\u2019s Office agents reached out to the defendant and purchased tickets from him. Once they were admitted to the Kennedy Space Center with the fake tickets, the defendant was arrested and his vehicle was searched leading to the confiscation of cash and more fake tickets. He has been charged with:\n1 count of counterfeiting admission tickets with intent to defraud, a first-degree misdemeanor\n2 counts of forging or altering admission tickets with intent to defraud, a first degree misdemeanor\n1 count of using false pretenses within a scheme to defraud for less than $20,000, a third-degree felony\n7 counts of obtaining property by false impersonation, punishable by a third-, second-, or first-degree felony\n1 count of using a two-way communication device to facilitate a felony, a third-degree felony\nDefending Against Multiple Criminal Charges\nIf you are facing multiple criminal charges, including multiple felonies, it is crucial to work with an experienced criminal defense attorney who has represented individuals facing similar crimes. The purpose of an attorney is more than to try and get you off the charges. A skilled lawyer can fight to have charges dropped or reduced, protect your rights against the police during an investigation, and can seek to minimize the consequences of a conviction.\nSeeking the minimum penalty is important when facing felony charges that can result in prison, high fines, and probation with strict terms. An attorney can frame your case in such a way as to increase the likelihood of sympathy from the judge or jury and offer a greater chance for leniency. A poorly devised defense strategy or worse yet, no strategy at all from a public defender, can result in not only being convicted but being sentenced to the maximum imprisonment and fines.\nContact a Kissimmee Criminal Defense Lawyer for Help\nWhen even the lowest felony, a third degree, can result in up to 5 years of prison, 5 years of probation, and a $5,000 fine (under Florida Statutes 775.082), you want a Kissimmee criminal defense attorney on your side. If you are facing multiple misdemeanors and felonies that can pile punishments one on top of the other, an experienced attorney who can provide a strong defense is essential.

Shoreline Park, a magnificent 15-acre bluff-top strip of lawn, bike and pedestrian trails, picnic tables and jungle gyms, is regarded by many as the finest park in Santa Barbara. At the southwestern tip of The Mesa, the Douglas Family Preserve (known to locals as the \u201cWilcox property\u201d) is a stunning 70-acre recreation area left in its natural state, conserved as a peaceful retreat for all to enjoy forever.\nMesa residents also appreciate the convenience of the shopping centers at the intersection of Meigs Road and Cliff Drive and the excellent schools that serve the community. Mesa residents also enjoy the distinct weather that occurs on The Mesa.\nCity weather records show that The Mesa\u2019s winter temperatures are 10 to 12 degrees warmer than downtown, and 10 to 12 degrees cooler in the summer. Half of The Mesa is relatively flat while the other half sits on a hillside (a smaller and less steep version of The Riviera neighborhood). The downtown can be leisurely reached with a 5-8 minute bike ride.\nThe Mesa Real Estate Values\nThe Mesa Real Estate values average around $900,000 to $1.5 million. The Mesa view homes and ocean front estates start at around $1.3 million and can exceed this amount twofold, threefold or more. Condos and town homes tend to range around $500,000 to $1 million.",

        "title": "Bronco Baseball Finishes Successful Start to New Era - Santa Clara",
        "raw_content": "Bronco Baseball Finishes Successful Start to New Era\nSANTA CLARA, Calif. - Transitioning into a new era that has the campus buzzing, the Santa Clara baseball team wrapped-up its first season under head coach Dan O'Brien on May 27 vs. LMU. The Broncos finished 2012 26-28, the most wins for the program since 2008.\nThe team began the season red-hot, winning its first five games and 13 of its first 16. Santa Clara took down an impressive list of teams that included then-No. 35 Texas State and then-No. 37 Wichita State on the season's opening weekend, as well as Cal Poly twice. Overall, the Broncos took down eight teams with a winning record, including 2011 College World Series darling Cal.\n\"It was an incredible experience and a really good foundational year for what we're trying to build,\" said O'Brien. \"A lot of people will look at the win-loss column and judge the year on that but there are so many other things that we focused on to not only win more ballgames in the future but to create a really well-rounded baseball program. It takes a lot to build sustained success so in year one we had some big wins and some guys have big years. It was a good start for where we are looking to go with the program.\"\nO'Brien doesn't want to just build a winning team, he wants to make sure that his players are the kind of people you root for because they are outstanding individuals.\n\"We really want to create a culture here that is a place where our guys love every aspect of the program from their teammates to the uniforms to the facilities,\" added O'Brien. \"We want to them to love everything about being a Bronco. We want people to love coming to ballgames and meeting our players because they're such great guys. I think that will create a lot of support for the program and I think our guys deserve that support.\"\nSeveral players had outstanding years, including INF/OF Greg Harisis, OF Pat Stover and OF Lucas Herbst who were all honored by the West Coast Conference, in addition to pitchers Tommy Nance, a transfer from Palomar College, and senior Paul Twining.\nHarisis, a First-Team All-WCC selection, led the Broncos with a .398 (49-123) batting average in 40 games, including 31 starts. His 49 hits, 30 runs scored and eight doubles were all good for second on the Bronco roster even though he didn't start playing regularly until the team's 23rd game vs. Portland on Mar. 30 as he was a projected back-up to start the season. Harisis had one home run and 13 RBI while drawing 13 walks to put his on-base percentage at .464.\nAnother First-Team All-WCC selection, Stover tied for the team lead with five home runs while starting all but one game. He batted .297 while leading the team in several offensive categories, including at-bats (202), hits (60), runs scored (33), RBI (37), total bases (85), doubles (10) and stolen bases (14).\nHerbst was second on the team with a .351 batting average (53-151) in 40 games while being named All-WCC honorable mention. A hamstring injury slowed Herbst in April but he still scored 29 runs while hitting seven doubles, four triples and two homeruns to go along with 26 RBI. His .409 on-base percentage was helped by eight walks and nine hit-by-pitch. Playing mostly right field, Herbst swiped six bases. To cap off his impressive collegiate career, Herbst was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles with the fourth pick in the 26th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.\nOn the mound Nance pitched a team-best 94.1 innings while making 15 starts and one relief appearance. Nance posted a 4.20 ERA with 4-6 record while striking out 48 batters and tossing two complete games.\nTwining served as the teams' closer and recorded eight saves. In a team-leading 33 games, Twining threw 50.2 innings while striking out 42 against just 16 walks. He led the team with an ERA of 3.55 and had a record of 6-6.\nThe positives for the Broncos on the field, however, went far beyond statistical success.\n\"On the field I saw a lot of guys mature,\" said O'Brien. \"There were guys who were giving away at-bats at the beginning of the year who were very tough outs and the end of the year. There were some guys who were very analytical on the mound and worked through that adversity to become very courageous at the end of the year. There were guys who stepped up when they had their opportunities, like Greg Harisis. Even for guys who had a tough year, we're going to spend a lot of time talking about how that tough year is going to be really good for us moving forward. We're looking at this year as a very important year of maturation for our players.\"\nO'Brien and his staff know that despite a solid first year on the Mission Campus there is a lot of work yet to be done.\n\"The ultimate goal is to be a very well-rounded team,\" said O'Brien. \"We gave away too many bags this year, whether it was walks or hit-by-pitches. Our defense was solid but can still get much better. We want our pitchers to be strike-throwers that use their defense and we want our offense execute whether it be on bunts or hit and runs. We really need to fine-tune the game of baseball.\"\n\"Strength and conditioning has to be a huge emphasis going forward,\" added Bronco pitching coach Gabe Ribas. \"The 56-game college baseball schedule is long, it's grueling and guys need to continue to work hard if we want to get to where we want to be which is a WCC title, regional's, and ultimately Omaha.\"\nO'Brien will bring in his first class to Santa Clara in 2013 and so far he is very pleased with what he and his staff have been able to accomplish. There will be six new pitchers and six new position players joining the Bronco roster.\n\"The recruiting is going well,\" said O'Brien. \"We already have great players in the program but we need to get some more depth. We worked very, very hard on recruiting players who are just awesome guys and come from great families. I was pleasantly surprised about the make-up of the current team and even though you're losing some great guys in our seniors class this year, next year you're going to see positive energy, incredible effort and talented players. I think we're going to surprise some people next year.\"\n\"It's a great bunch and I think they're going to challenge even our top-end guys,\" said Ribas. \"No role for next year is determined and we have some really special guys coming in. All the new guys are going to challenge for the major roles and I think we're very lucky to get them. We're going to have great options next year and everyone is going to be pushed. I'm really excited and I think we're in a really good place going forward.\"\nFor a college program to thrive, many people have to support the team, whether by showing up at the field for games or donating money. O'Brien knows what those off the field have done for Bronco baseball and wants to assure them everyone involved appreciates their commitment to the program and this is just the beginning of a new chapter in Santa Clara baseball history.\n\"We cannot be thankful enough for all the support we've gotten,\" said O'Brien. \"A lot of people came out to support us at the ballpark and our donors helped us get an all-new set of uniforms to bring back that old-school feel. It's been a blast this year and we've had our ups and downs but we have so much to build on and we're just getting started. It's going to be a blast building this program into something special. In all of our one-on-one meetings our players are talking about how much they learned and how excited they are to be a part of building something really special here at Santa Clara.\"",

        "raw_content": "Love him or hate him, Paul W.S. Anderson has had an awful lot of time to tinker in the various franchises of sci-fi filmdom. He's contributed to the Resident Evil property, as well as Aliens Vs. Predator, and still managed to find the time to pony up something called Pandorum (saw it, wasn't that impressed). Still, ya gotta love a guy who keeps trying. Mr. Anderson was born on this day back in 1965.\nThe venerable Sir Patrick Moore had the good fortune of appearing aboard Doctor Who's \"The Eleventh Hour\" in 2010. Though he's no longer with us, Moore was born on this day in 1923.\nThe talented Anne Haney appeared in a relatively forgotten hour of Star Trek: The Next Generation, a third season outing called \"The Survivors.\" During her career in the business, she also snuck in performances aboard The Invisible Woman (1983), The Twilight Zone, K-9000 (1991), Quantum Leap, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Though she's no longer with us, Haney was born on this day in 1934.\nThat lovely lady above is none other than Paula Prentiss. Again, you younger readers might not recognize her, but she was a robot! Indeed, she was a robot spouse in The Stepford Wives (1975), the original and not that tepid, ridiculous remake. Prentiss was born on this day in 1938.\nJohn Hancock boasted two appearances aboard Star Trek: The Next Generation, once during the third and fourth seasons. Though he's no longer with us, Hancock was born on this day in 1941.\nFrank Novak (above, with glasses) witnessed the aftermath of the alien invasion epic, Independence Day (1996). The character actor has also made appearances aboard Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Carnosaur (1993), Watchers III (1994), Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, The X-Files, and Watchmen (2009). Novak was born on this day in 1945.\nActress Kay Lenz has built a solid career on playing tough but tender ladies willing to stand up for themselves when the action required such commitment. To be fair, she hasn't done an awful lot of Science Fiction related roles, but I'm aware of a few. In 1983, she appeared in Prisoners of the Lost Universe, one of the first flicks to explore the ideas of a parallel dimension. She also made a guest star appearances aboard TV's incarnation of Starman, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and The Tick. Lenz was born on this day in 1953.\nI kid you not: according to IMDB.com, the lovely Patricia Heaton enjoyed her small screen debut in an episode of the fondly remembered Alien Nation TV series. Heaton was born on this day in 1958.\nEarlier in his acting career, the always interesting Mykelti Williamson played a role in the ensemble behind Species II (1998). He's also booked screen time aboard Salvage 1, Time Trax, and The Outer Limits. Williamson was born on this day in 1957.\nActor Steven Weber was a part of one of my very favorite storylines in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; he starred in the three-part opener for the program's second season when the political shenanigans on the planet Bajor came to a head. Mr. Weber was born on this day back in 1961.\nThe lovely Daniela Amavia looked downright royal in her supporting appearance aboard Syfy's Children of Dune miniseries. Amavia was born on this day in 1966.\nDuring his brief time in our realm of existence, D. Harlan Cutshall built a resume impressive with genre work. He served time aboard The X-Files, The Sentinel, Viper, The Outer Limits, Stargate: SG-1, First Wave, The Twilight Zone, The Dead Zone, Andromeda, Jeremiah, The 4400, Supernatural, Stargate: Atlantis, Eureka, Caprica, V, Fringe, Tomorrowland (2015), and Falling Skies. Though he's no longer with us, Cutshall was born on this day in 1969.\nScott Michael Foster continues to seek out and explore new and exciting characters across all genres. SciFi and Fantasy fans know him best from roles aboard Zero Hour and ABC TV's Once Upon A Time. Foster was born on this day in 1985.\nYoung and pretty Margo Harshman joined Taylor Handley in 2015's SciFi/Drama Toxin, one more tale of a pharmaceuticals company gone bad. Harshman was born on this day in 1986.\nThe lovely Tamzin Merchant underwent a few layers of make-up to become the equally lovely alien Lyra aboard The CW's Supergirl. Merchant was born on this day in 1987.\nBill Milner gave audiences a glimpse into the dark backstory of a young Magneto just discovering his abilities aboard X-Men: First Class (2011). Milner was born on this day in 1995.\nOn this day in 1988, the SciFi/Horror flick Pulse generated some buzz. The film starred Cliff De Young, Roxanne Hart, and Joey Lawrence, and here's the plot summary from IMDB.com:\n\"An intelligent pulse of electricity is moving from house to house. It terrorizes the occupants by taking control of the appliances, either killing them or causing them to wreck the house in an effort to destroy it. Then it travels along the power lines to the next house, and the terror restarts. Having thus wrecked one household in a quiet neighbourhood, the pulse finds itself in the home of a boy's divorced father whom he is visiting. It gradually takes control of everything, badly injures the stepmother, and traps father and son, who must fight their way out.\"\nOn this day in 2011, the conspiracy-themed SciFi thriller The Adjustment Bureau opened theatrically. The film starred political activist Matt Damon and the lovely Emily Blunt, and it didn't quite set box office records, grossing a disappointing $62 million while being budgeted just over $50 million. Here's the plot summary compliments of IMDB.com:\n\"The affair between a politician and a ballerina is affected by mysterious forces keeping the lovers apart.\"\nOn this day in 1960, Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone aired the twenty-second episode of its first season, a tale going by the curious name of \"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.\" According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:\n\"On a peaceful suburban street, strange occurrences and mysterious people stoke the residents' paranoia to a disastrous intensity.\"\nOn this day in 1967, Doctor Who aired \"The Moonbase, Part 4.\" This served as the twenty-sixth episode of the program's fourth season, and here's the plot summary from IMDB.com:\n\"With the Cybermen preparing to launch a full attack, the Doctor and his friends must keep the Moonbase and the Gravitron out of their hands until help arrives from Earth.\"\nOn this day in 1972, Doctor Who aired \"The Sea Devils, Part 2.\" This served as the tenth episode of the program's ninth season, and here's the plot summary as detailed by IMDB.com:\n\"The Doctor and Jo are trapped on the fort by a Sea Devil while the Master convinces Trenchard to help him steal some electronic components.\"\nOn this day in 1978, Doctor Who aired \"The Invasion of Time, Part 5.\" This served as the twenty-fifth episode of the program's fifteenth season, and here's the plot summary from IMDB.com:\n\"The Doctor and his friends flee from the Sontarans and the Doctor tries to convince Borusa to abandon his sacred office in order to help defeat them.\"\nOn this day in 1983, The Powers of Matthew Star aired \"Brain Drain.\" This served as the eighteenth episode of the program's only season, and here's the plot summary from TV.com:\n\"When geniuses go missing, Matthew and Walt investigate a dating service that may be behind it all.\"\nOn this day in 1994, Time Trax aired \"Happy Valley.\" This served as the sixth episode to the program's second season, and here's the plot summary as provided by our friends at IMDB.com:\n\"Darien gets recruited by an passed acquaintance to help the International Security Agency investigate a series of suspicious events in a suburban Florida town.

        "raw_content": "China trade vs economic growth: the dilemma for Brazil\u2019s new Trump-style president\nJair Bolsonaro\u2019s vows to ease ties with Beijing while also speeding up domestic development could be tough to reconcile, analysts say\nThe incoming leader\u2019s lack of international experience could also add to uncertainty\nLee Jeong-ho\nhttps://twitter.com/LeeJeongho_SCMP\nBrazil\u2019s far-right president-elect could struggle with his twin commitments to cut Chinese investment in his country and accelerate its economic development, given that China is \u2013 and is likely to remain \u2013 Brazil\u2019s biggest trading partner, diplomatic observers said.\nSixty-three-year-old president-elect Jair Bolsonaro campaigned on a Trump-style platform that included warning against Beijing\u2019s growing influence and amplifying fears about Chinese investment in Brazil\u2019s energy and infrastructure sectors.\n\u201cChina isn\u2019t buying in Brazil. China is buying Brazil. This is a big problem that we should be worried about \u2026 Are you willing to leave Brazil in the hands of the Chinese?\u201d Bolsonaro said in the months leading up to the election.\nHe vowed to reshape Brazil\u2019s foreign policy and improve ties with Washington, overturning the country\u2019s decade-long policy.\nOn Monday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang congratulated Bolsonaro and said China would deepen cooperation with Brazil.\nAnalysts said Bolsonaro\u2019s presidency would bring a dramatic shift in China-Brazil relations, and the power politics of BRICS, the association of the five major emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.\n\u201cBolsonaro\u2019s rhetoric has also largely been about reducing China\u2019s investment [and] this is likely to cause tensions between both Beijing and the new Brazilian government,\u201d James Floyd Downes, a lecturer in comparative politics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said.\nDownes said Bolsonaro\u2019s administration might reduce funding that was originally earmarked for areas such as railways and infrastructure, which Beijing has promoted.\nRoland Vogt, an international relations specialist at the University of Hong Kong, said the incoming president\u2019s lack of international experience could also create uncertainty for China\u2019s ties with Brazil.\n\u201cBolsonaro is not only very controversial and divisive both in his political rhetoric and posture, but also very inexperienced in matters of foreign affairs and trade,\u201d Vogt said.\nBolsonaro has pledged to reduce Brazil\u2019s engagement with regional blocs such as BRICS, which was formed as a counterweight to Western dominance of international institutions.\n\u201cA succession of presidents from the political left of Brazil has shared that agenda [of strengthening its involvement in BRICs]. But, The new president, by being pro-US, may decide to limit Brazil\u2019s involvement with BRICS,\u201d said Zhang Baohui, director of the Centre for Asian Pacific Studies at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.\nChinese diplomats based in Brasilia have sought to highlight the need for bilateral cooperation in meetings with top Bolsonaro advisers in recent weeks, according to Reuters.\nChina remains a major investor in Brazil, ploughing US$124 billion into the country since 2003, mostly in the oil, mining and energy sectors. China is also eager to bankroll railway, port and other infrastructure projects here to speed the movement of its Brazilian grain.\nBRICS nations pledge unity in face of US-China trade war\nTrade between China and Brazil stood at US$75 billion last year, according to Brazilian government data. And as the US trade conflict with China intensifies, Brazil became one of China\u2019s major investment destinations.\nThis relationship could continue, given that China\u2019s investment is needed to meet another of Bolsonaro\u2019s campaign pledges \u2013 to speed up Brazil\u2019s economic development.\n\u201cIt is a paradox,\u201d Downes said.\n\u201cBrazil is now heavily reliant on China\u2019s economy for its future economic development. Thus, there is likely to be a disconnect between the new Brazilian president\u2019s rhetoric and overall policy once in office, and that could upset the core supporters who voted for him.\nVogt said diplomatic ties with China were likely to be cooler \u201cbut trade will continue \u2026 China, after all, is one of Brazil\u2019s most lucrative customers\u201d.",

        "title": "Russia to provide Syria with new S-300 air defense missiles | The Seattle Times",
        "raw_content": "Russia to provide Syria with new S-300 air defense missiles\nMOSCOW (AP) \u2014 Russia announced Monday it will supply Syria\u2019s government with sophisticated S-300 air defense systems after last week\u2019s downing of a Russian plane by Syria forces responding to an Israeli air strike, a friendly fire incident that stoked regional tensions.\nThe Russian Il-20 military reconnaissance aircraft was downed by Syrian air defenses that mistook it for an Israeli aircraft, killing all 15 people on board. Russia laid the blame on Israel, saying Israeli fighter jets were hiding behind the Russian plane, an account denied by the Israeli military.\nRussian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that the S-300 missile defense systems will be delivered to Damascus within two weeks. Earlier in the war, Russia suspended a supply of S-300s, which Israel feared Syria could use against it.\nShoigu went on television to say that Russia is now going to go ahead with the shipment because \u201cthe situation has changed, and it\u2019s not our fault.\u201d\nShortly after his statement, Putin got a call from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and told him that the Russian move was \u201caimed primarily at fending off any potential threat to the lives of Russian servicemen,\u201d according to the Kremlin.\u201d\nNetanyahu\u2019s office said in its readout of the call that the Israeli prime minister \u201cstressed once again that the responsibility for the unfortunate incident lay on the Syrian army that shot it down and on Iran, whose aggression is destabilizing the region.\u201d\nIn an apparent reference to the S-300, the statement said \u201ctransferring advanced weapons to irresponsible hands will increase the dangers in the region,\u201d adding that Israel will \u201ccontinue to defend its security and interests.\u201d\nShoigu announced that Russia would also equip Syrian air defenses with a new automated control system to enhance its efficiency and help identify Russian aircraft. On top of that, the Russian military will start using electronic countermeasures to jam any aircraft that would try to launch attacks off Syria\u2019s coast.\n\u201cWe are convinced that these measures will calm down some hotheads and keep them from careless actions which pose a threat to our troops,\u201d Shoigu said.\nThe Israeli military has denied responsibility for the downing of the Russian jet, insisting Sunday that Israeli jets did not hide behind other aircraft and that they were in Israeli airspace when the Russian plane was downed.\nThe Russian military angrily rejected those claims. On Monday, Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov produced data collected by Russian air defense systems in Syria purportedly indicating that one of Israeli F-16 fighter jets was flying close to the much larger Russian plane, resulting in the Syrian missile homing in on the bigger target.\nKonashenkov also said that data showed that the Israeli jets remained over the Mediterranean Sea off Syria\u2019s coast after the Russian plane was downed.\nU.S. national security adviser John Bolton meanwhile said Monday that delivery of the Russian S-300 would be a \u201csignificant escalation\u201d in already high tensions in the region, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he would raise the matter this week with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov at the U.N. General Assembly.\nRussia\u2019s Deputy Foreign Ministry Sergei Ryabkov fired back, warning the U.S. against taking \u201ca mentor\u2019s tone.\u201d\nInternational and regional powers backing various sides in Syria\u2019s civil war have been carrying out strikes for years, often using special hotlines to prevent aerial confrontations.\nIsrael said its warplanes were targeting a Syrian facility involved in arms shipments to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group. Israel has launched at least 200 strikes at Iranian and Hezbollah facilities in Syria over the past years, and has maintained a hotline with the Russian military to prevent any collisions.\nBut Shoigu said that the Israeli military warned Russia about last week\u2019s strike just one minute before launching it and claimed it was being conducted in Syria\u2019s north. Instead, the Israeli jets targeted the western province of Latakia, putting the Russian warplane in the line of fire.\nRussian officials said Syria\u2019s Soviet-made S-200 systems, one of which downed the Russian plane, weren\u2019t sophisticated enough to identify the Russian aircraft as a friendly one.\nRussia launched its campaign in support of President Bashar Assad in 2015, eventually turning the tide of war in favor of Syrian government forces. Moscow has tried to maintain good relations with Iran, which is also allied with the Syrian government, and Israel, which is wary of Iran\u2019s growing influence in Syria.\nThe downing of the plane came just hours after Russia announced it had reached a deal with Turkey to avert a Russian-backed Syrian government offensive against the northwestern province of Idlib, controlled by a mix of radical groups and Turkey-backed armed opposition.\nSyrian state TV said insurgents shelled a government-controlled crossing east of Idlib on Monday that was reportedly prepared to allow civilians to leave the province.\nConcerns are rising in Idlib over the details of the deal and how it will be implemented. The province is home to some 3 million Syrians, half of them displaced by violence in other parts of the country.\nHard-line armed groups have rejected the deal, saying it aims to strip the opposition of weapons and is a victory for Assad\u2019s government. On Sunday, tribal leaders and prominent local figures meeting in Idlib said they distrusted Russian mediation, citing Russia\u2019s previous cease-fire violations. The conference called on armed groups not to leave the front lines in Syria or hand over their weapons.\nAssociated Press writers Sarah El Deeb in Beirut, Vladimir Isachenkov in Moscow and Aron Heller in Tel Aviv, Israel contributed to this report.",

        "raw_content": "Liberal arts degree delivers liberal earnings and job satisfaction\nStudents collaborate on recommendations to increase demand for the humanities in an Ideathon sponsored by the UW\u2019s College of Arts & Sciences and UW CoMotion.(University of Washington)\nAs leaders at Microsoft, Google and other tech companies have stated, we need liberal arts majors who study STEM and STEM majors who study the humanities, arts, and social sciences.\nAmerican higher education has been the envy of the world since World War II. In contrast to most other countries, in which undergraduates specialize in a single subject from the moment they arrive at university, American higher education has provided a broad and deep education in arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences to all our undergraduate students, whatever their major. This American educational model is now at risk.\nStudent enrollments in literature, history, philosophy and the arts \u2014 broadly, \u201cthe liberal arts\u201d \u2014 began to drop nationally in the wake of the 2008-2009 recession and have continued to decline. At the University of Washington, these declines have now reached startling proportions. In the past five years alone, the number of UW students majoring in history has dropped more than 50 percent. English majors have dropped 42 percent. Foreign language majors have dropped by a third, as have majors in other core liberal arts subjects such as philosophy and political science.\nThis decline is happening at a time when the world is becoming increasingly interconnected, and when the need to understand other languages and cultures and the responsibilities of democratic citizenship have never been more important. Yet students are fleeing these areas of study in droves. Instead, they are enrolling in the natural sciences, technology, engineering, computer science, information sciences and mathematics \u2014 the so-called \u201cSTEM\u201d disciplines.\nRobert Stacey is dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington.\nMany explanations have been offered for this shift. These range from the undeniable importance and excitement of the STEM fields, to improved math and science education at the K-12 levels, to the influence of political and business leaders concerned about the competitiveness of American industry. These explanations are all part of the story; but I believe the fundamental causes of this shift are economic. Since 2009, students and their parents have come to believe that liberal arts majors will not be employable when they graduate (except, perhaps, as baristas), whereas STEM degrees offer both certainty of employment and high salaries.\nThese beliefs are unfounded. National and local data shows that unemployment rates are essentially the same for STEM majors as they are for humanities majors; and although liberal arts majors have somewhat lower starting salaries, their salaries rise more quickly over the course of their working lives than do those of engineers. As Seattle Times higher education reporter Katherine Long has reported [\u201cReport busts myth of unemployable humanities grads,\u201d Feb. 12] and The New York Times [\u201cSix Myths About Choosing a College Major, Nov. 3] has confirmed, liberal arts majors often outstrip STEM graduates in lifetime earnings and in job satisfaction ratings.\nThe graduating class of the UW\u2019s Jackson School of International Studies (in which majors have dropped 20 percent since 2013) is an excellent example of the strong job market for liberal arts majors. Six months after graduation in June 2017, 93 percent of Jackson School students were either employed or in further education. Only 4 percent were still looking for work, with another 3 percent doing volunteer work or traveling.\nNor were these just any jobs. Their employers included the federal government Departments of State, Health and Human Services and the House of Representatives; the Washington State Senate and the state Attorney General\u2019s Office; and, in the private sector, Expedia, Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte, Accenture, and All Nippon Airways, among many others.\nIf statistics like these leave you cold, consider recent UW graduate Janelle Lena White, who graduated in 2013 with a double major in history and American ethnic studies. When asked about data analysis during her job interview with Google, her answer drew upon her experience extracting information from an Aztec document \u2014 experience she gained in a class on pre-Colombian Latin American history. Google hired her on the spot. She realized Google was most concerned that she could write and speak well, think critically and creatively, assess problems from a multitude of vantage points, and analyze trends and data. These are skills forged in the humanities and the social sciences \u2014 the very subjects our students are currently avoiding.\nSo far, reports like these, whether statistical or anecdotal, have had little impact on popular perceptions that STEM graduates are more employable than liberal arts graduates. Will these new reports make a difference? Time will tell. But the stakes are high. Our country needs both STEM majors and liberal arts majors. And as leaders at Microsoft, Google and other tech companies have plainly stated, we also need liberal arts majors who study STEM and STEM majors who study the humanities, arts, and social sciences.\nThe current flight from the liberal arts is hurting American competitiveness and limiting our students\u2019 career prospects. It is time for all of us, not just baristas, to wake up and smell the coffee.",

        "raw_content": "The real Seattle Freeze: \u2018Cruisin\u2019 the Fossil Coastline\u2019 explores the compelling topography of the Puget Sound landscape\nOur remarkable landscape of sculpted mountains, lakes and channels was created by massive glaciers.\nSEATTLE IS SURROUNDED by long bodies of water. Some are filled with saltwater, like the many channels of Puget Sound, and others are freshwater lakes, like Sammamish and Washington. It occurred to me only recently to wonder why such a landscape could exist. The answer to that question is complicated, and it has to do with a surprising history.\nThe mountains of Seattle are remarkable. To the west is the jagged range of the Olympics, a foreboding massif often clad in thick clouds. To the east are the Cascades, pimpled with volcanoes: Mount Baker to the north and the impossibly large Mount Rainier to the south. Rising essentially from sea level to 14,410 feet, Rainier is festooned with 25 glaciers. It is an active volcano that erupted several times in the 1800s and most recently in 1894. The menace of this mountain monster was invigorated when its lesser cousin, Mount St. Helens, exploded in 1980.\nThis is an excerpt from the book \u201cCruisin\u2019 the Fossil Coastline\u201d (Fulcrum Publishing), written by paleontologist Kirk Johnson and illustrated by artist Ray Troll.\nIn 1896, the discovery of gold in the Yukon funneled thousands of would-be miners through Seattle as they headed north to Skagway, Alaska. This event did for Seattle what the 1849 California Gold Rush did for San Francisco, changing it from a town to a city. In 1909, Seattle celebrated its growth by hosting the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at a site on Lake Washington that would later become the University of Washington.\nShortly after, geologist Harlen Bretz got busy answering the question of why Puget Sound is configured the way it is. Bretz, who had arrived in Seattle as a 25-year-old high-school teacher in 1907, had become interested in Puget Sound geology.\nWith the same intensity that he would later apply in the 1920s to the Channeled Scablands of Eastern Washington, Bretz walked the shores, valleys and mountains surrounding Puget Sound lowlands in search of clues. Bretz was well aware that big ice sheets had been involved, and his careful work showed just how big and extensive those ice sheets had been. By mapping the margins of the glacial deposits, he could tell how high up the mountains they rode, and by 1913, he could demonstrate that Seattle itself had relatively recently been underneath 3,000 feet of ice (something others had speculated to be the case before). The steep and rounded hills of Seattle and the linear lakes and saltwater channels were all sculpted artifacts of the massive ice.\nThis discovery, confirmed in the 1950s after the discovery of carbon dating, meant that the ancient forests of Puget Sound were less than 10,000 years old. Many of the trees lived for more than 1,000 years, so in a relative sense, these forests had not had a long history. And unfortunately for them, they were easy money, so logging surged. Between 1905 and 1938, Washington state was the leading timber producer in the nation. In 1947, common use of the chain saw changed the game even more, and the old-growth forests came under intense pressure. By the mid-1960s, most of the old-growth forest in Puget Sound lowlands was completely gone.\nPaleontologist Kirk Johnson. (Ray Troll)\nMY FAMILY MOVED to Seattle in 1961, when I was just 9 months old. At the time, it was the rainy, little-visited corner of the nation.\nIn 1962, Seattle opened the World\u2019s Fair with the completion of the Space Age spire known as the Space Needle. There are pictures of me watching this construction, and I was fully aware when the magnitude-6.7 earthquake shook our home and tumbled our chimney on April 29, 1965. Seven years later, my dad made me climb Mount Rainier with him, and that brutal ascent remains the hardest thing that I have ever done.\nBy the time I was 13, I had been exposed to the fact that the Seattle area was a place of geologic extremes, but I had not connected the dots and realized that we lived in one of the most geologically active places in the world. That realization would not fully seat itself in my mind until Ray Troll and I started working on this book in 2009, and I began thinking about how few Seattleites had realized that they live at Ground Zero on a dynamic planet.\nAround the time I was 10, my dad bought me a boat. We lived in Beaux Arts Village, a curious little town on the shores of Lake Washington. Founded in 1908, Beaux Arts styled itself as an artist colony just a short steamboat ride from Seattle. By 1970, that art dream was distant, and the colony had been engulfed by the surging growth of Bellevue. But Beaux Arts still had a beach, and I had my boat. My boat was 12 feet long, green, wood and heavy as a log. It was everything I could do to flip it over and slide it into the lake. My parents were remarkably lax with their supervision, and I was given leave to row about whenever and wherever I wanted.\nThere were sockeye salmon that would enter Lake Washington from Puget Sound through the fish ladder at the government locks in Ballard, and then make their way down the lake to the Cedar River, where they would spawn. We learned that trolling deep and slow, using just the oars, was the right way to get one of those magnificent fish to strike a lure. The first thing I ever cooked was a freshly caught sockeye over an open fire on that beach.\nA map of fossils found in the state of Washington. (Ray Troll)\nRAY KNEW A GEOLOGIST named David Montgomery, who studied soil and played in a band called Big Dirt. David is a great writer, and in 2004, he had written a sweet book, \u201cKing of Fish: The Thousand-Year Run of Salmon,\u201d with illustrations by Ray.\nYou wouldn\u2019t think that there would be much connection between salmon and dirt, but there is. Salmon are anadromous, which means they spend their adult lives in the open ocean but spawn in the headwaters of freshwater rivers and streams. In the Northwest, we call these rivers \u201csalmon streams.\u201d Most salmon die after they spawn, and they become food for bears, bobcats, wolves, eagles and many other animals. And we all know what a bear does in the woods. Salmon bodies are rich in nutrients, and the animals that eat salmon spread those nutrients across the forest floor, where they get worked into the soil and eventually become the stuff of trees.\nDavid works at the Quaternary Research Center at the University of Washington, which is a fancy way of saying he studies the geology of the Ice Age. He had found a really odd fossil site at the south end of the Puget Sound, and we talked him into taking us there. On June 27, 2009, we met him in Olympia and drove around the south end of the Sound.\nMammoths entered North America across the Bering Land Bridge, and their fossils are found now all over the continent. (Ray Troll)\nBecause most of the land around Puget Sound was logged between 1860 and 1960, most of the modern forest is second- or third-growth timber, and a lot of land is owned by timber companies who are sitting around waiting for their next crop of trees to grow back. For this reason, the foothills of the Olympics and Cascades are cut with a maze of dirt logging roads that wind their way through brushy young forests.\nDavid led us through a locked forest company gate and down an old, overgrown logging road through a tangle of small alder trees and blackberry brambles. Eventually, we popped out onto the bank of a beautiful little salmon stream. It was the kind of place that made me wish I had a fly rod with me. It was a crystal-clear creek with a gravelly bottom, but as soon as I got to the river\u2019s edge, my geologist\u2019s eyes spotted something very unusual. The bank of the river was composed of clay that had a very distinctive type of layer known as a varve. Varves form at the bottom of lakes that form at the end of a glacier. Right away, I realized that I was in a river valley that used to be a glacial lake.\nThis all makes sense if you think about Harlen Bretz\u2019s ice sheet filling Puget Sound. At a time like that, the rivers (and indeed glaciers) flowing down valleys from the mountains collided with the massive ice sheet that filled Puget Sound. These collisions would block the mouths of the river valleys and cause them to fill up with water and become lakes. David confirmed that we were looking at a million-year-old glacial lake. Then he told me to go ahead and split open some of the clay. Using my Swiss Army knife, I started splitting the soft clay and immediately started seeing fins, scales and finally a tail. After a few minutes, I had exposed a beautiful fossil salmon. And this wasn\u2019t just a salmon. It was a sockeye salmon, just like the ones I used to catch in Lake Washington.\nHere was a million-year-old glacial lake full of spawned-out sockeye salmon that would have had to make their way from the open ocean through an ice-plugged Puget Sound and up an ice-choked river past mammoths and saber-toothed cats before spawning, dying and getting buried. For the first time in my life, I had a visceral understanding that I had grown up in a postglacial landscape.\nThe title-page illustration by Ray Troll for \u201cCruisin\u2019 the Fossil Coastline.\u201d (Ray Troll)\nDAVID DROVE US back out to the highway, and we parted ways. Ray and I headed north along the shores of Hood Canal, a long, narrow body of saltwater that stretches 50 miles from Puget Sound to the southwest before doubling back on itself to form a giant fishhook. The \u201ccanal\u201d is a little more than a mile wide and almost 200 feet deep.\nWith my new Puget Sound-glacial perspective, I pondered the process that could have formed this curiously shaped canal. I came up blank. I asked Ray what he thought, and he gave me the simple answer that you see on Wikipedia: The glaciers caused it. I knew that. What I wanted to know was what the glaciers did that caused all of those long channels that are the signature topography of the Puget Sound lowlands. Now that I had a simple question I could not answer, I became obsessed with it.\n\u201cCruisin\u2019 the Fossil Coastline,\u201d by Kirk Johnson and Ray Troll, published by Fulcrum Publishing. (Ray Troll)\nOver the next few weeks, I did what scientists do to answer questions. I searched the published scientific literature about the geology of the basin and I called some experts, and this is what I learned: The Puget Sound Basin existed as a lowland before the glaciers arrived from Canada. The rivers would have flowed into the basin and generally to the north. When the south-moving glacier advanced into the basin, it dammed these rivers, creating a giant lake. As the glaciers continued south and filled the basin, meltwater from the glacier would have flowed to the south over the divide by Olympia and into the Chehalis River, where it could flow into the ocean near Aberdeen.\nIt appears that meltwater at the bottom of the glacier carved river channels under the ice. When the glacier retreated, it exposed these channels and flooded them with fresh water, forming a huge lake at the south end of the glacier \u2014 one that would have stretched all the way from Olympia to Everett.\nOnce the glacier retreated beyond the Juan de Fuca Strait, the freshwater lake emptied into the ocean, the saltwater surged in and Puget Sound was formed. To make things even more complicated, it appears that this entire process happened more than once. It\u2019s no wonder that people just say that the glaciers did it.\nIN RECENT YEARS, there has been a strong push to restore marine ecosystems in Puget Sound, and this has led to the realization that Puget Sound is part of a larger series of inland coastal waterways that includes the region between Vancouver Island and the British Columbia mainland. In 1988, a marine biologist named Bert Webber proposed the name \u201cSalish Sea\u201d for the area, and that name has stuck. In 2015, ichthyologists Ted Pietsch and James Orr did a survey of all known fish species in the Salish Sea and documented a total of 253.\nGeologist Harlen Bretz demonstrated in the early 20th century that Seattle was relatively recently buried under 3,000 feet of ice. (Ray Troll)\nRay had known Ted for more than 30 years, and together they dreamed of illustrating the entire fish fauna of the Salish Sea. With Ray, dreams often end up as paintings, and in 2011, he completed a Salish Sea masterpiece, a mural showing 99 species of Salish Sea fish. The finished painting hangs on the wall of the University of Washington Fisheries Sciences building on Portage Bay.\nThe number of known fish species continues to grow because fish scientists continue to explore the Salish Sea, but this is not the whole story. The thing that has changed is that the relative abundance of different species has dramatically shifted, and the absolute numbers of the five different salmon species have dropped dramatically.\nThe salmon have been replaced by spotted ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei), and some estimates suggest that perhaps as much as 75 percent of the fish biomass in the Puget Sound is this one species. It is for this reason that Ray and I call the Salish Sea by a different name: the Ratfish Empire.\nIn actual fact, since the range of the spotted ratfish stretches from Alaska to Baja, and the ratfish lineage reaches back to the Paleozoic, this entire book takes place under the jurisdiction of ratfish.\nKirk Johnson is a paleontologist and director of the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. He hosted two recent PBS series, \u201cMaking North America\u201d and \u201cThe Great Yellowstone Thaw.\u201d He has written 10 books, including \u201cCruisin\u2019 the Fossil Freeway\u201d in 2007, with Ray Troll. Troll, a science-inspired artist, has illustrated 10 books. His art has appeared on more than 2 million T-shirts. He and his wife, Michelle, own and operate the Soho Coho Gallery in Ketchikan, Alaska. Ray plays in a rock band, The Ratfish Wranglers, who have recorded four albums. Check out his website at trollart.com. Johnson and Troll spent the past 10 years exploring the Pacific Coast from Baja, California, to Alaska. The result is this book. The Anchorage Museum is currently touring an exhibit based on the book. Plans are being made to bring it to the Burke Museum in the fall of 2020.",

        "raw_content": "Cybersecurity isn\u2019t just a technical problem. Even web users armed with the latest and greatest malicious software prevention techniques are exposed to risk from outsiders aiming to exploit a victim\u2019s trust.\nThat lesson is the focus of a book titled \u201cUnmasking the Social Engineer: The Human Element of Security,\u201d by Christopher Hadnagy, which this week won the People\u2019s Choice award in the Cybersecurity Canon. In early October we wrote about the Cybersecurity Canon, a collection of the best works of cybersecurity writing.\nThe book focuses on an important part of a hacker\u2019s toolkit: social engineering. The method plays on human weaknesses to manipulate individuals and get them to do things they ordinarily might not do. Social engineering is most often seen in phishing attacks where attackers try to direct targets to visit fake websites and enter personal information, but some hackers use phone calls and even visit targets in person as part of an attempt to reveal passwords or other information that might be exploited.\nMr. Hadnagy, chief executive of Social-Engineer LLC, combined his experience of teaching and practicing social engineering in the real world with 60 years of research by Dr. Paul Ekman, a psychologist and professor at the University of California. The book serves not only as a guide for those wishing to learn the skills to deploy as penetration testers, but also for network defenders seeking to identify the tactics being used against them.\n\u201cSocial engineering is 100% learnable,\u201d said Mr. Hadnagy. \u201cThey\u2019re not mystical powers.\u201d\nMr. Hadnagy said penetration testing, the process of professional hackers identifying unpatched software vulnerabilities, has largely become \u201ca checkbox\u201d exercise by removing the human element. It is for this reason that the attackers are being so successful\u2013they are able to exploit people by playing on their emotions to get them to take actions that are not in their best interests.\nThere is No Patch for Human Emotions\n\u201cNo one is 100% guaranteed to never fall for a social engineering event,\u201d said Mr. Hadnagy, who admitted to recently clicking on a phishing email despite his familiarity with deploying phishing tests for clients. \u201cI send 3 million phishing emails a year, I actively research and write about it every day and I clicked on a phish\u2013I refuse to believe it\u2019s because I\u2019m a stupid human. It\u2019s because that phish happened to be the right emotional trigger at the exact right time and I ended up taking an action I would never take on a normal basis.\u201d\nEveryone is susceptible. Executives must recognize they and their staff are generally ill-prepared to deal with the threat.\nMr. Hadnagy used the analogy of learning to box. After 15 minutes of computer-based training, no one would feel confident to go into the ring against a professional boxer. Users need ongoing training and development to increase their ability to detect and counter social engineering attempts, whether phishing emails, phone calls or face-to-face. \u201cIf the first time you get punched is by the guy that wants to kill you, you\u2019re probably going to get knocked out,\u201d he said.\nExecutives are prime targets for scammers due to the information they have access to. Oftentimes it is the executive themselves that unwittingly provides information attackers need to socially engineer them.\n\u201cWhenever we go after executives we\u2019re using social media,\u201d said Mr. Hadnagy. \u201cWe can find out about their likes and dislikes, their family, kids, hobbies and we\u2019re using that to emotionally trigger them. Knowledge is power. You need to know what information is out there about you on the internet otherwise you can\u2019t possibly defend against it.\u201d\nGlobal organizations are often more vulnerable to attacks because employees do not always know their colleagues in other departments. This provides scammers with the opportunity to impersonate, for example, human resources staff and then trick users into sharing personal information.\nRick Howard, chief security officer at the security vendor Palo Alto Networks and founder of the Cybersecurity Canon said \u201cUnmasking the Social Engineer\u201d deserved its place as winner of the People\u2019s Choice award: \u201cThe book was well-received by the canon committee members and specifically by me as I try to defend my organization.\u201d\nFrom his own experience, Mr. Howard said improving awareness of social engineering requires a top-down approach: \u201cFrom the bottom up, [training] tends to die on the vine because it involves a once a year course and that\u2019s about as far as it goes.\u201d\nMr. Howard said the chief executive and chief technology officer of Palo Alto Networks play an active role in educating the workforce, but acknowledged the difficulties in getting some executives to change their habits with regards to social media: \u201cEasy to say, but harder to do.\u201d\nThe above article first appeared in the \u201cWSJ Pro Cybersecurity\u201d newsletter.

It is quite a small plant in terms of height and will stay below one meter tall. When cultivated indoors yields of about 550 gr/m2 will be gained in 55 - 60 days of flowering. It is also suitable to be grown outdoors in a wide range of environments due to its early finish during the second half of September in the northern hemisphere.

Bountiful harvests of sativa and indica hybrid cultivars kept the group's spirits up during a 3 year stint in the rural, desolate mountains. One member of this talented group would go on to create one of the most prominent cannabis seed production businesses in the world. That business is Barney's Farm and the man who started it all is Derry.\nAfter his period of successful cultivation in Asia, Derry returned to Amsterdam in 1992 with his newly created cannabis seeds and took the helm at Barney's Coffee Shop. The popularity of his strains made Barney's the must- go-to place for interested parties worldwide.\nThe unique nature of the beginnings of a company like Barney's Farm only adds to its already vast popularity.

There\u2019s news on Better Call Saul.\nGreat news, Breaking Bad fans! The spinoff, Better Call Saul, really is happening and will hit Netflix sooner than you might expect. AMC has inked a deal with Netflix that gives the company rights to begin streaming the series just days after its finale airs on AMC, instead of waiting months.\nThe project has had the full support of Sony since its inception, with Variety claiming that the company was ready to take it straight to Netflix if AMC wasn\u2019t interested in pursuing the spinoff. Luckily for cable subscribers, AMC jumped on it. And if you don\u2019t have cable, there\u2019s no need to worry since Netflix will still share access to Better Call Saul\u2018s first season long before they usually do. Of course, we could all still face a months-long wait for the show\u2019s premiere on cable. AMC has yet to set a premiere date, only stipulating that it will come to fruition some time in 2014.\nBreaking Bad withdrawal? See what the cast is up to next! >>\nThe show is centered on Saul, Breaking Bad\u2018s go-to lawyer, and serves as both a prequel and sequel to the recently-ended AMC hit Breaking Bad. Saul (Bob Odenkirk) may have often had decent intentions, but the lawyer\u2019s moral and ethical compass was always skewed a little left of true north. With his offices located in a strip mall and his questionable clients, Saul was the Danny DeVito of Breaking Bad: He had a no good, greasy gomer aspect to him and yet you thoroughly enjoyed every minute he graced the screen. When Breaking Bad came to an end, it was Saul in particular fans were curious to see more of.\nWant more TV news? Sign up for our newsletter >>\nPerhaps the best part of the spin-off, though, is the promise of more Walt and Jesse. Variety confirmed that while they won\u2019t play major characters, we will see guest appearances from both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul.\nWe couldn\u2019t be more excited! As soon as we know more, we\u2019ll be sure to share it with you.",

        "raw_content": "5 Characteristics Of A SaaS-Focused BI Application\nBy Mike Brody, Exago\nThere are hundreds of business intelligence (BI) solutions on the market, but not all of them are well suited to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) environment. Some are intended as standalone products, others designed for on-premises (\u201con-prem\u201d) deployment, and still others built for use by individual consumers rather than whole businesses. As a SaaS provider, wading through these options is a matter of knowing what key characteristics to look for and why.\nBelow are five features of a BI solution truly built for SaaS. Note that only some of these features pertain to the software itself; the application\u2019s licensing terms can be equally important. Remember to do a thorough and well-rounded evaluation of any application that makes it past the demo phase so that you can vet both its technological and its economic viability.\n#1: 100% Web-Based\nThis one might seem like a no-brainer since SaaS applications are by their nature web-based, but it\u2019s worth clarifying exactly what this means. A 100% web-based BI application, in this case, is one that end users may access, in its entirety, with only an internet connection and a web browser. Where the application is served from remains up to the SaaS provider: some prefer to use proprietary servers while others avail themselves of AWS or another cloud computing platform. What matters is that SaaS customers may access both the host application and its analytics suite through the web, without having to download or install any additional software. An embedded BI application must be able to do this in order to deliver on SaaS\u2019s core value proposition: the convenience of the web.",

At his company, the team tackles emotional debt by surfing (yes, surfing). Pedro admits the team members aren\u2019t actually good at surfing, but that\u2019s not the point \u2013 the point is the beach gives them the chance to connect and blow off steam outside the confines of meeting rooms.\n<iframe src=\"https://www.softwarebusinessgrowth.com/player/8c784dff-67d9-4db6-bca7-e96b224b20a4\" style=\"height:390px; width:600px;\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\nI made a very conscious effort of creating this space to develop a solid culture. I was a firm believer in something that initially I described as paying off your emotional debt. I felt that was one of the things that kills startup teams the most, was this accumulation of emotional debt.\nThe concept was, in a startup there is technical debt and that\u2019s fine because you take shortcuts in the beginning from a technical perspective that you\u2019ll need to redo later in a better way. But I felt that the other thing that would happen is \u2013 especially the founders \u2013 would accumulate emotional debt.\nThe idea is that in the beginning of a startup, the way I used to think about it, it\u2019s almost like when a couple has a baby for the fist time. The baby is in constant need of attention so it\u2019s a very stressful time. It also means that you end up having less time to have proper conversations. So, the little things, the little frictions, that happen during the week while you\u2019re taking care of the baby, you kind of let go because you don\u2019t have time to really talk about it. But once a big topic comes around, you end up discussing everything you didn\u2019t discuss before \u2013 you know you\u2019ll say \u201cThat time you did this. Or this happened.\u201d\nI felt the same thing happens in startups. As founders you have this friction during the week, a very intense phase and didn\u2019t have the time to really talk about it. So, whenever a big decision comes around you had accumulated all this emotional debt and then you\u2019re just off arguing about that instead of actually discussing the real thing. And so from the beginning I felt that we needed to make sure that we created this space to continuously pay off our emotional debts.",

Whackhead Simpson will be the MC of the night, with all proceeds going to the Nelson Mandela Foundation.\n\"The timing is fantastic, especially with the Mandela's centenary. I'm celebrating 20 years in comedy, it is quite a feat. It's an honour to be in the line-up,\" Kau said.\nComedienne Tumi Morake makes Netflix history\nMorake\u2019s involvement is billed as historic.\nThe 40-year-old Kau, known for his spot-on Mandela impersonation said: \"All my life I've done Nelson Mandela impersonations. But I think it was harder on that particular night, he wasn't at the show, but Zelda [la Grange] was. Then through her we got to meet him afterwards. We went to the foundation and we got to meet Nelson Mandela,\" he recalled.\nKau strongly feels that his life has always had a Mandela connection. After all, his daughter was born on 18 July 2012.\n\"My first DVD was filmed at the Mandela Stage at the Joburg Theatre 10 years ago. I turned 40 in April and I'm celebrating 20 years in comedy,\" he shared.\n\"I have been married for 10 years, my son turns 10 in December. So, obviously I talk a lot about my family life.\"\nSo what will Kau be doing for Mandela Day today?\n\"There is a children's home that we visit and my daughter's birthday parties have always been at that place. I like to take my DVDs and give them to people in the street,\" he said.\nNo funny business as top SA comedians fight over awards\nTwo of South Africa's top comedians are going head to head \u2013 but the battle is not taking place on stage.\nSkhumba: The art of comedy is in offending you without hurting you\nHalala!

        "raw_content": "FOOTBALL: Porter 'pleased with the pressure, intensity and work-rate'\nCraig Rook\nCraig Rook\u2019s long-range double earned three points for Bourne Town.\nThe midfielder marked his return from Peterborough Northern Star with a goal in each half on Saturday.\nThe Wakes made a perfect start at Rushden & Higham United thanks to Rook\u2019s early effort.\nHe doubled the lead just past the hour mark and, although the Lankies pulled one back late on, Bourne held on.\nJoint boss Leigh Porter said: \u201cIt\u2019s a good starting point for us but we must remember this is only the first game.\n\u201cWe\u2019ll see developments and improvements ongoing during the season.\n\u201cThe biggest thing was the character of the squad. Everyone dug deep for 90 minutes and did everything right all over the pitch.\n\u201cIt was a strong start as we looked confident on the ball.\n\u201cRook showed his quality by hitting the target from a free-kick 10 yards outside the box.\n\u201cThe second goal was even more pleasing than the first, even though it was completely different.\n\u201cThe ball was played out wide again where we looked a threat and we pressed high to force them back to the keeper.\n\u201cHe rushed the kick which allowed Rook to take a couple of touches before hitting a long-range shot into the net.\n\u201cWe had lots of possession and we wanted to keep the ball in those conditions.\n\u201cI was very pleased with the pressure, intensity and work-rate.\n\u201cRushden & Higham are a solid, experienced side so we knew it would be a good test. This was an indication of where we are now because they finished one place and one point above us last season.\n\u201cThey scored with about 10 minutes to go which made it a bit different when we could have been 2-0 or 3-0 up in the first half.\n\u201cThe players did what we asked them to do in terms of commitment and effort. It was a solid performance.\n\u201cWe still haven\u2019t achieved anything yet but we can look forward to the first home game of the season on Saturday.\n\u201cWe expect Lutterworth Athletic to play a similar way to Rushden & Higham. Hopefully we\u2019ll get a good crowd to see what we are trying to do here.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Fifa president Gianni Infantino has set a March deadline for deciding whether the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar should be expanded to 48 teams.\nThe global governing body for football already plans to expand the World Cup to 48 teams from 2026 onwards but proposed applying the changes to the 2022 edition of the tournament as well.\n\u201cWe\u2019ll decide in March,\u201d Infantino told French TV show on Sunday.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve already decided that future editions should feature 48 teams, we all think it\u2019s a good idea.\u201d\nHowever, Infantino downplayed the likelihood of the concept being brought forward arguing that the shortened timeframe for the Qatar event would make it tricky. Due to soaring summer temperatures, the competition is being shoe-horned into a 28-day window over the months of November-December in 2022.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not easy because it will be played over 28 days, instead of 31 for a normal World Cup,\u201d he said.\nInfantino added that Fifa will hold a meeting in Miami in March to decide whether neighbouring countries could be allowed to host some of Qatar\u2019s matches. In a recent interview with The Guardian, he suggested such a move could help to heal political hostilities in the region.\nInvestors looking to bring MLB expansion team to Las Vegas\nA group of investors is working to bring a Major League Baseball team to Las Vegas, including building a ballpark",

Paradise residents seek healing at Camp Fire vigil\nIt would include nearly 5,000 acres of prescribed fire and using fire to maintain up to 13,000 acres of previously burned areas.\nResearch shows the forest will better adapt to hotter, drier climates if the density of its tree stands is reduced and the growth of more fire-resistant trees is promoted. Growing more oak and pine trees instead of Douglas fir will also help the forests adapt.\n\"The objective is to make the watershed more resilient to disturbances like fire, insects and climate change,\" said Don Boucher, the forest's district ecologist and main architect of the plan.\nIn all, the package could cost up to $14 million, with as much as $2 million generated from commercial logging and the remainder coming from future grants, Boucher said.\nThe plan is detailed in an environmental assessment expected to be released Wednesday.\nThe proposals include 18 miles (29 kilometers) of new hiking trails and 4 miles (6 kilometers) of new off-highway vehicle trails. Miles of unauthorized trails would be decommissioned.\nMore: Oregon wildfire costs hit record high of $514 million in 2018\nThe environmental assessment will be up for public comment for a month, with comments incorporated in a final decision expected next spring, Boucher said.

She said it's going to be \"really good\" for the landscape.\nTim Niemela from the Motorcycle Riders Association said the amount of proposed new trails shows a bias against motorized users. He believes it doesn't acknowledge the work his group does in the woods.\nRead or Share this story: https://www.statesmanjournal.com/story/tech/science/environment/2018/11/19/measures-aimed-reducing-fire-intensity-southern-oregon-rogue-river-siskiyou-national-forest/2053852002/",

        "title": "Axpona: We Sing Together in Atlanta | Stereophile.com",
        "raw_content": "On Saturday night, after a long day of listening, writing, and chatting, I couldn\u2019t force myself to enjoy another dinner or even have a beer. Things come to a dull end where all systems sound the same, I forget what it is I\u2019m supposed to be listening for, I can\u2019t give the exhibitors and attendees the attention they deserve. So, instead of pushing myself further, I decided to head back to my room and post a few blog entries before packing my bags and going to bed. Earlier in the day, I had already begun to regret my decision to leave the show on Sunday morning: There were rooms I hadn\u2019t visited, people I hadn\u2019t met, songs and stories I hadn\u2019t heard, and now I had run out of time. Nevertheless, as I succumbed to sleep, I could hear myself singing.\nFrom many angles, this most recent version of Axpona, held in warm and friendly Atlanta, Georgia, appeared fraught with compromises and confusion. As I arrived at the hotel, I immediately learned that several exhibitors had been up until the early hours of morning dealing with troublesome rooms, a frustrating consequence of the extremely late delivery of their demo gear.\nFor my part, upon checking into the hotel, my first move was to lock myself out of my room; and, once I got back into my room, I was embarrassed to discover I had forgotten the two most important assets to any journalist covering a show: my toothbrush and deodorant. During the event, some attendees (including myself, at times) were wearied by the long hotel corridors which seemed sometimes to go on and on forever or simply end, suddenly, in dead silence and darkness.\nBut, when looked at from above, the Atlanta Axpona was a great success. In the end, we see that none of these difficulties made much of a difference because, through it all, attendees, exhibitors, and press alike, joined together to make and enjoy some very beautiful music.\nThough it seems painfully obvious, it\u2019s important to remember that we do all of this for music. A hi-fi system should be a catalyst for the discovery and appreciation of more and more and more music. As one exhibitor told me, the problems he faced at the show didn\u2019t bother him at all. All that mattered was that he was able to create music.\nAnd I want to emphasize the fact that we joined together. While at the show, the editors and contributors of Stereophile magazine received many kind compliments from readers and exhibitors, but what delighted me most was being told that we were so approachable, so easy to talk to, \u201cjust regular guys.\u201d Every day I remind myself that I cannot take this thing for granted. It is a privilege to receive new music, to test the gear carefully created by people who love music, to share my passion for music with you. I think I can speak for the entire Stereophile team when I say it is our job, but it is also a privilege, a pleasure, and an honor. Even at the end of the longest day, we are still singing.\nWe take the example of the exhibitors who stayed up late attempting to make magic in rooms that were too small, too large, corrupted by whirring fans and winding corridors, or whose ceilings were falling apart; we take the example of the attendees who drove many miles each day to see and to hear in person the gear they normally only see in magazines; we take the example of the members of the Atlanta Audio Video Club who volunteered their time and their smiles to help make the event a more pleasurable one for all; we take the example of the manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and educators who work to make high-quality sound and recorded music available to everyone, everywhere; we take the example of the musicians who treated our ears, minds, and souls to the real thing.\nThe real magic of shows like Axpona is that they remind us to be thankful. To everyone who found the energy and took the time to stop us in the halls, either to ask a question, make a comment, or simply to say hello: Thank you. It\u2019s true that we are just like you. We do this for the music, too, and we will not let anything get in the way.\nIf we couldn\u2019t speak, we would sing.\nThe Atlanta Downtown Sheraton is a large rambling hotel and it readily swallows crowds. Even so, attendance seemed lighter than I was expecting, especially on Sunday. I asked Axpona's Steve Davis on Sunday afternoon what the official figure was. \"We pre-sold 1750 tickets before the Show and there were about 700 walk-ins,\" he answered. But when I discussed attendance with exhibitors, several emphasized that they were very happy with the quality of the audiophiles who came to Axpona. Visitors were knowledgeable about audio and music and were very enthusiastic about what they heard. It was a fun Show.\nSubmitted by soulful.terrain on April 21, 2011 - 3:05pm\nLooking forward to next year. This was my first show and it was amazing. The exhibitors were very congenial, and were readily available to answer questions on the spot.\nThe attendees at the show were some of the nicest people you would ever want to meet.\nIt was my first show of any kind and I had to cram as much as I could in only one day. At first, seeing all the audio \"porn\" had me calling my wife on the phone, \"I might as well have gone to a strip club---I can't go home with anything HERE either ... !\"\nAnd that was before, just like Stephen, I walked into the Vincent room and um, stayed a little longer than originally anticipated. Ahem.\nThe missus laughed but got my meaning: There's more than a little untouchableness to it all, a polite distance if you will, particularly as so many vendors displayed what seemed to be primarily their priciest stuff. \"Honey, if in a fit of pique I throw my wallet down on the floor in the YG or mbl rooms, know that I'll always love you and the kids. Tell them to study, work and play hard in their lives, for I might not be coming home tonight.\"\nBut yeah, later, every room demanded more time than I could give, as I had no specific agenda other than to taste stuff I'll probably only ever see in magazines. Still referring to audio here. I didn't spend as much time in the Vincent room as Stephen probably did. (Can't blame him though. Why am I thinking of a popular ZZ Top song from the early '80s right now? Nevermind.)\nEveryone from vendors to Stereophile staff was at all times polite, professional and yes, approachable. I hope our paths cross again one day.\nSubmitted by Greg on April 22, 2011 - 8:37am\nI loved reading your account of the event and the honesty of how tired you were. I am sure that there will be another opportunity for you to hear what you didn't and meet who you missed.\ncasin\u00f2 online: Scommettere \u00e8 reso pi\u00f9 semplice in questo casin\u00f2 online e vincere il contante non \u00e8 cos\u00ec difficle come sembra sulle macchine da poker.\nfraught with compromises and confusion\nSubmitted by audiocaptain on May 4, 2011 - 1:53pm\nI really do respect all the time and energy that goes into these writings but sometimes things need some clarification. This event was started as a Three Day show with Thursday as setup day. When we decided to offer some additional viewing of equipment for trade and press a full day for setup was still available with opening at 4:00 on Thursday. We paid for an extra day at the hotel to begin move in on Wednesday night. We had viewed the best case to be all exhibitors with equipment no later than 9:00 am on Thursday morning. I know this was meet with hours to spare. Also the exhibitors were crowded around AFC freight the entire time they were trying to stage and deliver the equipment to the rooms. This caused major congestion and slowed things down by a magnitude. Many requests were made for special care and the wonderful staff from AFC tried to please everyone. As we go forward we are developing, with the help of all concerned the best methods and means to present a truly new and unique Audio show. I believe if you look at the overall event, as Stephen wrote, \"But, when looked at from above, the Atlanta Axpona was a great success. In the end, we see that none of these difficulties made much of a difference because, through it all, attendees, exhibitors, and press alike, joined together to make and enjoy some very beautiful music.\"\nWe at AXPONA want to thank all who contribute so much and ask so little for the love of music and those who try to create it under less than perfect conditions.\nSubmitted by audiocaptain on December 6, 2011 - 5:41am",

        "raw_content": "Luke chapter 1 verses 39 \u2013 55\nIf anybody really knows me they will know that I absolutely love Evensong and the Book of Common Prayer that we use for that service. Why? You may ask. Well one of the reasons is that the service is at the end of the day \u2013 when I can just thank God for the day, appreciate the silence at the start of the service and enjoy the beautiful words that that service uses. And probably my favourite part is the singing of the Magnificat which was part of our gospel reading. \u201cMy soul doth magnify the Lord\u201d \u2013 Mary\u2019s words to her cousin Elizabeth and the joy of the baby jumping in her womb.\nMary did not sing in order to experience worship. Her song was an overflow of a life of worship, a day to day intimate communion with the Lord. Worship comes out of a life that is rightly related to the Lord. So if we want worship on Sunday to be meaningful to ourselves, then we must be sure we worship on Monday through to Saturday as well.\nWhat can we learn from this song and from this chapter in the story of that first Christmas?\nWell first of all we can learn a very important principle of worship.\nIn Mary\u2019s song of worship there are at least 10 references to Old Testament scriptures. So obviously Mary was very familiar with God\u2019s word. She was a student of it. Remember she has travelled four days, probably alone, to reach the home of her cousin. She has had all this time to meditate, to review the hope found in Old Testament messianic prophecies. Four days to pray, perhaps to sing to herself the scriptural songs of her childhood. Four days of communion with her Lord. Four days of preparation for this spontaneous expression of devotion and adoration.\nMary is the heroine of this story, but it is she who journeys to the home of Zechariah and Elizabeth\u2014perhaps because Elizabeth\u2019s pregnancy preceded Mary\u2019s by six months and she would be great with child\u2014perhaps as a gesture of honour by the younger woman to her elder\u2014perhaps to escape wagging tongues in Nazareth.\nThis visit is unusual. A pregnant woman, particularly an unmarried pregnant woman, would ordinarily be cloistered and would not travel.\nThis journey from Nazareth to the hill country of Judah is quite a distance, and is nearly identical to the journey she will make about 9 months later when she and Joseph go to Bethlehem for the census.\nIn the gospel reading we heard again Mary\u2019s song. Her Magnificat is a song of the Kingdom. Much of it echoes Hannah\u2019s song all those years before which celebrated the birth of Samuel and all that God was going to do through him. Now Elizabeth and Mary, these two mothers-to-be, celebrate all that God is going to do through their sons John and Jesus.\nBut as Christian people, when we are in our right minds, we are people who are utterly in love with this vision of the Kingdom, utterly in love with mending bent bones and minds fractured by life, utterly in love with the hungry being fed and the lowly lifted up; and utterly in love with the God who can do this, and longs to do this, and is about to do this.\nIn this last Sunday before Christmas Mary teaches us two things about the offering of faith. The first is this. Faith often involves a rollercoaster of joy and woe, delight and suffering, blessing and curse. Mary\u2019s song recalled the song of Hannah whose life was wracked with agonies and despair about childlessness. She brought her misery to God, and her prayers were answered with the delight and fulfilment of a son. But for her keeping \u2018faith\u2019 with God involved giving her son back to God, setting her child free of her own motherly needs, so that God\u2019s future might be possible through him. Samuel, first in the Temple and later as God\u2019s spokesman and prophet, lived out the joy and woe of faith learned as his mother learned it. In that he was his mother\u2019s son, a son of the ups and downs of faith.\nAnd now Mary and Elizabeth found themselves carrying children who must be given up and set free. We can hear in today\u2019s gospel, as young mothers-to-be there is such delight and fulfilment in their lives. But later, we can only imagine Elizabeth\u2019s feelings as the mother of John the Baptist, who according to Matthew lived in the wilderness. Like so many mothers around the world today it must have seemed that she had lost him, and we can imagine her deeply dismayed and anxious about him, not least when he was thrown into prison. And then for her beloved son, God\u2019s gracious gift, to be casually beheaded by a rash monarch at a wild party \u2013 again we can only imagine a mother\u2019s grief. The offering of faith may be simple but it is not easy.\nAnd Mary herself at the very moment when Simeon blessed her son, the gift of God, \u201cappointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel\u201d, Mary was also told \u201ca sword will pierce your own soul too\u201d. And we do have some clues in the gospels about Mary\u2019s journey of faith \u2013 the 12 year old Jesus staying in the Temple and putting his mother through the lost child nightmare. Mary trying to get to see her grown-up, wandering preacher of a son but being told he would rather stay with his new friends; and then, of course, the desolate mother at the foot of her son\u2019s cross, and the strangeness of those resurrection appearances. The offering of faith may be simple but it is not easy. It has its easy moments, when the window of heaven is open and the Kingdom seems to shine all around us; but soon the sun has gone behind the clouds and like Mary we must treasure these things, and persevere with faith when it is full of woe as much as when it is full of joy.\nThe second thing Mary teaches us on this last Sunday of Advent is for us to be prepared for a God who is in charge but in unexpected ways. Mary recognises God\u2019s moment when it comes, even when it is startling and disturbing \u2013 angels, shocking pregnancy, becoming a refugee. And she sticks with it. How often we are tempted to think \u2013 perhaps it was all a mistake, this thought we have that God was interested in us, that he spoke to us, that he was doing something in our lives. We must have been mistaken. No, Mary teaches us that faith is about treasuring these things in our hearts and pondering them and not letting go of the God who does not let go of us, who is in charge whatever seems to be happening to us. Faith is about keeping the faith as well as offering it. And it is about sticking with faith in the one who is in charge and not trying to take charge ourselves. It is so easy to speak as believers but to act as atheists. Functional atheism is the unexamined assumption that if anything decent is going to happen we are the ones who must make it happen. Of course, we do have to make many things happen \u2013 Sunday lunch to name but one; our complex lives require us to take responsibility for so much, and that is inevitable and mostly appropriate. But Mary teaches us to be open to God\u2019s initiative; strange as an angel, miraculous as a pregnancy, odd as the tale of shepherds. On this last Sunday of Advent she teaches us to be prepared for the unexpected birth in our lives.\nAs I have studied Mary\u2019s song one dominant theme has kept surfacing in its words. In her song, Mary repeatedly refers to the principle of humility. In Luke 1:50 she says that God\u2019s mercy is given to those who humbly \u201cfear Him.\u201d In subsequent verses she sings that \u201cGod scatters the proud\u2026brings down rulers\u2026but has lifted up the humble.\u201d And Mary\u2019s experience teaches us that the most important quality we can have as Christians is humility. In fact, God\u2019s selection of the place and people of this story: Galilee \u2013 Nazareth - Joseph and Mary, Zechariah, and Elizabeth -helps illustrate his reversal of human ideas about greatness and smallness, significance and insignificance. It is not the spiritually proud, the socially mighty, nor the materially prosperous who have the last word in God\u2019s kingdom. Arrogance and power and wealth are totally out of place here. Mary\u2019s song reminds us that God exalts those who fear Him, those of low degree those who realize how much they need God in their lives -those who hunger for Him.\n\u2022 God uses people who realize their need of Him.\n\u2022 In the Kingdom of God, humility is an essential.\nThink about it. A person cannot even become a Christian until he or she humbly admits their need for God, until in humility they confess their sin and ask for God\u2019s forgiveness. And then after we become Christians humility is still important because God cannot use us unless we humbly place our lives at his disposal. To be useful in God\u2019s kingdom we must humble ourselves and become God centred instead of self-centred. Mary knew this. She understood that it was her humility that led God to choose her for this task. In Luke 1:49 Mary rejoices in the realization that God, \u201chas been mindful of the humble state of his servant\u2026\u201d Because she was humble, Mary knew that God had a right to interrupt her life. Because she was humble she made herself available to God.\n\u2022 We must humble ourselves and become God-centred, as Mary was\n\u2022 We must be willing to adjust our circumstances to what God wants to do.\nGod has a right to interrupt our lives. He is Lord. When we accepted him as Lord, we gave him the right to help himself to our lives anytime he wants to. And when we humble ourselves and make ourselves available to God we learn\u2014as Mary did\u2014that with God nothing is impossible! This is more than an angelic insertion. It is a positive reality.\n\u2022 With God nothing is impossible!\n\u2022 With God it was possible for an old, barren woman and her husband to conceive and bear a son who was the forerunner of the Son of God.\n\u2022 With God it was possible for a virgin girl to give birth to a baby who was the Son of God.\n\u2022 With God persons like you and me can find redemption in Christ and have new life through faith in Him.\n\u2022 With God nothing is impossible.\nNow we must think about that. If God could use the life of a young peasant girl, then he can use any life, including our lives. St Francis of Assisi said, \u201cIf God can use me\u2026.God can use anyone.\u201d",

The backcountry rebellion was inspired by grievances, including jurisdiction over their own affairs, and wide discontent with the practices of the British government. The Regulators sought the removal of the Currency Act of 1764 which denied use of legal tender. With higher taxation and depletion in sources for paper money, farmers urged the British government to accept commodities such as tobacco, corn, and wheat as forms of payment, but the request was denied, fomenting unrest. The Stamp Act of 1765, which taxed legal documents, newspapers, almanacs, college diplomas, playing cards, dice, and all customs papers, only fueled the fires of the Regulator movement.\nThe protests were centered in the counties of Anson, Dobbs, Halifax, Rowan, and Orange, with the last being home to 883 known Regulators. In August 1766, a petition was drawn up by the Regulators in Orange, presenting grievances to the Governor, but it went unacknowledged. In that same year, a second protest emerged and rioting began in the North Carolina backcountry. By the summer of 1768, there was open rebellion, and, as a result, Tryon prepared his militia to march across eight counties from New Bern to Orange County.\nOn May 14, 1771, Tryon and his 1,400 troops camped out on Alamance Creek and, on May 16, the Regulators sent another petition to Tryon in an attempt to avoid battle. Governor Tryon refused to accept the terms and ordered them to surrender, offering one hour to reach a decision. Tryon immediately negated his own terms and attacked the larger Regulator assemblage of 2,000. After two hours of battle, the Regulators retreated from the field.\nThe arrest and trial of twelve Regulators in Hillsborough began on June 15 and ended four days later, with the twelve condemned for high treason and execution. Tryon decided to pardon six of the men, while the other six were to be executed on June19. The site of the executions is marked by a large white marble slab. The six hanged were Benjamin Merrill, captain of the Rowan County militia; Captain Messer; Robert Matear; James Pugh; and two others whose names are unrecorded. The men were buried together in a single plot, with the exact location unknown, although it is believed that the unmarked grave lies near the Eno River in the vicinity of Cameron Park School.\nAnnie Sutton Cameron, Hillsborough and the Regulators (1964)\nWilliam S.

        "raw_content": "Your data is valuable, and therefore, it has to be protected. One of the best ways to protect your data from any type of threat is by implementing a strong backup program. But how do you go about putting in a backup platform that makes sense for your business. Today, we will talk about enterprise data backup and how to take reliable backups.\nWhen you begin to put together a backup strategy, you have to know what it means to back up your files reliably. A reliable backup is one that will work to put you back in business if for some reason you have to use it. The thing about backups is that you never want to have to use them. Ideally, they are like the flame-retardant system many office buildings install: used only in an emergency.\nWhy Do You Need a Backup?\nBefore you think it\u2019s a ridiculous question, understand that a lot of businesses don\u2019t back up anything. In a time when they should be backing up everything, it is a complete misstep, that if things break poorly for them, they won\u2019t have to worry about backups, or payroll, or taxes...they\u2019ll just be out of business. That\u2019s why any business worth its salt backs up their data. Let\u2019s go ahead and assume that yours is a business that knows the value of its data and has a backup solution in place. How do you get the most out of the backup solution so that, in case no data loss ever occurs, that it\u2019s just not a wasteful line-item on a budget?\nBuilding Reliability\nIt\u2019s not as easy as you may think. Different kinds of organizations have different kinds of data. They have different priorities. They have different needs. Some organizations are going to want a backup and recovery platform that is comprehensive; that is, that backs up everything. Some organizations are just going to need a small fraction of their data backed up. Regardless where you sit on the scale, know that if you don\u2019t create reliable backups, you might as well just save the money it\u2019s going to take to put the backup system in place and take your chances.\nSo, what do we mean when we say reliable? It\u2019s pretty simple. Every piece of data you would need to be recovered if something were to happen to your business\u2019 technology, recent enough to be useful, and stored elsewhere. That\u2019s what a reliable backup looks like. Think about it, you need your backups to be relevant, to be available, and to be secure if they are going to hold the title of \u201creliable\u201d.\nIn order to get the protection, you need out of your backup solutions, we suggest:\nA hard drive-based backup system at the base of your backup platform. By using either an external hard drive or a network attached storage device, you know that a backup can work while you work and provide the physical copy of the data that is advantageous if something has to be restored quickly.\nA cloud-based platform to push the backed-up data to. The cloud presents the best option to get your backed-up data off the premises, while providing the necessary encryption to not put your data at risk.\nKeep copies of data at intervals. Each backup platform can be set up to engage with the other giving you options. You can set your onsite backup system to take constant backups as little as every 15 minutes, while only scheduling a push to the web every six or eight hours. This kind of systematic approach allows you to protect the changes to your data AND provide the speed you need.\nVerification is also important. You need your backup system, no matter what you choose, to tell you that your backup is sound and ready for restoration.\nAt Strata Information Technology we offer our Backup and Disaster Recovery service that provides all the hardware and software you need to get a reliable backup, every time. If you would like more information about BDR or about building data backup initiatives for your business, call us today at 888.678.7282.\nBDR Data Backup Backup and Disaster Recovery\nThree Signs that Your Security Policies Need to be...",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Student Life Guides & Advice \u00bb Lewis & Tucker's guide to becoming a Chartered Surveyor\nLewis & Tucker's guide to becoming a Chartered Surveyor\nChartered surveyors are highly trained property professionals and Professional Members and Fellows of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). After qualifying, chartered surveyors can use \u2018MRICS\u2019 after their name.\nChartered surveyors work in many different areas of building and property consultancy including surveying, law, planning and inspection. It is not unusual for an individual to have expertise in all areas and so companies are often established to offer comprehensive surveying services.\nDuties might include:\nActing as an expert witness in court\nInspecting buildings to make sure they meet regulations\nEndowing responsibility on those who need to pay building repair costs\nIdentifying structural problems with a property and making recommendations to solve them\nEvaluating damage for insurance requirements\nSchool leavers can choose an accredited degree course from the 500 courses all around the world. Alternatively you can do a related degree subject like geography and then follow this with an accredited postgraduate degree course.\nSome companies allow graduate employees to do the postgraduate qualification while working so it is worth doing some research into this. If the postgraduate degree is relevant to your employment and training then the employer may fund the cost - or at least part of it. You can also ask your academic institution about the funding they have available.\nOnce you have finished your accredited degree course you can get a job as a trainee surveyor.\nAfter completing a period of on-the-job learning and assessment with your employer for two to three years, you will complete your Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) and will become chartered. An APC will show that you are trained to the highest standard and will help your career progression.\nIf you are finding it hard to fund the cost of university, you can also take an apprenticeship route to becoming a chartered surveyor with support from The Chartered Surveyors Training Trust.\nIf you choose not to go to university, you can also become a RICS qualified surveyor as an Associate. This is a highly respected qualification that takes into account any relevant work experience or vocational qualifications in the property, construction and land sectors.\nWhen you are at university it is beneficial to organise some work experience so that you can network with surveying firms while you are studying. This can help you to gain a place as a trainee after graduating.\nAnother tip is to become an RICS student, which is free and will give you loads of benefits and resources.\nAs a chartered surveyor your work will be wide-ranging. A full driving licence is usually necessary as you will often spend much of your day out and about visiting different sites. Competent IT skills are also required as you will be using software design programs.\nA practical approach to problem solving\nAccuracy in your work with attention to detail\nThe ability to understand data\nThe ability to manage your time, plan and prioritise\nTo work well in a team environment\nThe social skills to nurture good working relationships with clients and colleagues\nThe ability to multitask - working on a number of projects at once\nConfident presentation skills when reporting back findings\nChartered surveyors will also have to work well in a team environment and will need to be able to nurture good working relationships with clients and colleagues.\nThe RICS website has a jobs board with vacancies and a listing of firms looking for new recruits and you can sign up for job email alerts. The RICS Recruit Mobile App will also help find roles quickly and there are tips on how to write covering letters and your CV.\nIn time you can move up to senior management or project management. You could also become a self-employed consultant, or start up your own practice.",

        "raw_content": "Home > About Us > News > 20 Years of Wound Management Services\nWound Management Services at Sturdy Memorial Hospital Healing Patients with Advanced Therapies and Equipment for 20 Years\nby Dr. Kenkre Mahesh, Medical Director of Wound Management Services\nAlmost twenty years ago, in July 1995, Wound Management Services (WMS) started healing patients at Sturdy Memorial Hospital. This center was the first of its kind in southeastern Massachusetts, and one of only 150 centers nationwide. Since its inception, WMS has treated over 78,000 patients with an outstanding healing rate of 98.1 percent. In addition, WMS consistently heals patients faster than the national average, healing patients in an average of 41 days, in comparison to the average of 66 days, when benchmarked with over 700 wound care centers nationally.\nAccording to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it is estimated that approximately 6.5 million Americans suffer from chronic wounds. A chronic wound is a wound that has failed to progress through the normal, timely, sequenced phases of healing. The annual cost of treating chronic wounds is estimated to be in excess of $25 billion and increasing. Moving forward, it is fair to expect a rise in the incidences of chronic wounds as a result of an aging population, and increases in diseases such as diabetes and obesity.\nSturdy\u2019s team of experienced physicians, wound care specialists, surgeons, and registered nurses evaluates and treats patients with chronic, non-healing wounds and ulcers. Wounds do not heal normally in people who have underlying health issues, which directly or indirectly interfere with the complex process of healing. Conditions and factors that can put people at greater risk for developing chronic wounds include diabetes, compromised circulation, chronic heart or respiratory disease, immobility, compromised immune systems, lack of sensation in the extremities, and use of certain medications\nWounds should start to show signs of significant healing within the first two weeks. If there are no signs of healing or the wound has not healed completely within six weeks, advanced wound care may become necessary. Neglected or improperly treated wounds can result in infection, or in severe cases, amputation. Trained specialists at WMS develop individualized treatment plans and use the latest technology, advanced therapies, and equipment to heal wounds that have not responded to conventional treatment. Methods of treatment usually include a combination of interventions such as debridement, compression therapy, infection control, angioplasty and stenting or bypass, application of bioengineered skin products and skin grafting.\nLiving with a chronic wound can cause loss of mobility, depression, financial strain, and can negatively impact a patient\u2019s overall quality of life. If you suffer from a chronic wound, help is available. Wound Management Services at Sturdy Memorial Hospital has been providing expert advanced wound care with a team of specially trained clinicians and support staff for 20 years.",

He did not elaborate.\nRosander said the Swedish National Anti-Corruption Unit has opened an investigation to verify the accusations against the man and determine whether there are grounds for extradition.\nWhen asked whether he would be sent home, she said: \"It depends on what accusations and the conditions in China and several other considerations.\"\nSwedish law prevents the authorities from extraditing someone to a country where they would face the death penalty. Rosander said this, along with the fact that charges against the individual had not yet been verified, were considerations in the prosecutor's deliberations.\nA spokesperson for the Swedish Foreign Office did not immediately have a comment on the matter.\n(Reporting by Esha Vaish in Stockholm and Ben Blanchard in Beijing; Editing by Simon Johnson and David Stamp)",

        "title": "How to Maximize Space in Your New Condo | SymbeoHealth",
        "raw_content": "Buying a condo unit also means having to think of ways to fully maximize your limited living space. This is especially true if you plan to have your family join you there. Here are some ways for you to fit everyone and everything comfortably in your newly purchased condominium unit.\nOne good way of maximizing space is via transforming furniture. Sofas that can be turned into a bed within a few adjustments or multipurpose tables are good examples and are worth their price in living space. Some appliances also have this feature, so you might want to research more about them and see which fits your needs the most.\nThere are collapsible tables, chairs and desks that can save you space and allow more movement. You could also have custom-built shelves, wall cabinets, and panels. They could serve as extra storage space or as a special panel for your electronic gadgets and appliances. Make sure to purchase furniture and appliances that are space savers as well, such as LED TVs, slim chairs and desks you can push against a wall.\nCollapsible Dividers\nAn option that will work very well with condo units in Pasig is to forget about putting up walls and use collapsible dividers instead. This allows you to create two separate rooms from a larger space, giving your kids their own living space and privacy. The same can be said for you, of course. It can create a great on-the-spot guest room as well. You could also use these to divide areas for several activities, especially if you have a studio-type apartment. For this purpose, you may have to give up the master\u2019s bedroom and settle for the second largest room instead.\nNow, if dividers just won\u2019t cut it, then you may have to ask your children to share bedrooms. Bunk beds come in handy for these situations, as well as upper wall cabinets for personal storage. You can also install collapsible study tables inside their room and position them near the electrical sockets. This will work for siblings of the same gender or the very young ones who have yet to need their own private areas.\nDivide the area so each person has a sense of privacy. Divide the closet and add racks to create additional storage space. Walls could also serve as additional space savers when you build horizontal shelves and racks.\nSpace constraints should not hinder your comfort or way of living. When you buy a condominium or apartment that might not have enough space for your lifestyle, you can follow these suggestions and create the space you need. You could hire contractors to build custom-made shelves, racks, and closets, or you can buy ready-made furniture that fits your space. All you have to do is make some adjustments here and there in the new condo, and you\u2019re set. If anything else, this compact space allows you to bond together more as a family, making your relationships grow stronger. This is what matters in the end.",

        "raw_content": "Agios Panteleimonas, Kranidi, Greece\nAman has a hotel in Greece \u2014 while that\u2019s not quite all we think you need to know, we\u2019ll understand if a few of you are already entering your dates. Anyway, if you\u2019re at all familiar with what the Aman group does, and you\u2019ve ever laid eyes on a photograph of the Aegean coast, then you already know where we're going with this.\nInspired by the (what else?) classical Greek architecture and surrounded by olive groves, Amanzoe is set high over the clear turquoise sea. It\u2019s just a short drive uphill from Porto Heli, but it\u2019s a carefully designed world in itself, featuring a spectacular reflecting pool and a series of expansive terraces, charming walled gardens and a striking cocktail bar, a library, the Aman spa and a yoga pavilion, and just to top it all off, an exquisite poolside fireplace. Though the exterior is inspired by ancient tradition, the interior is sleek and cool, with polished stone and smooth marble, floor-to-ceiling windows that open and close according to the weather, clean lines amid the classic columns. All of this, of course, faces a magnificent Aegean backdrop.\nSo what we\u2019re talking about \u2014 the reason Amanzoe is a can\u2019t-miss \u2014 is the natural perfection of the Peloponnese, further enhanced by Aman\u2019s precision and elegance. Guest rooms aren't just rooms, but freestanding pavilions. Each is a grand mini-monument to modern luxury, with high ceilings, marble walls, and pergola-shaded terraces with private swimming pools and unobstructed views of the sea. Even more opulent are the villas, should you require additional privacy, up to nine bedrooms, and a swimming pool lined in sumptuous emerald-hued marble.\nThanks to Amanzoe\u2019s thoughtful layout, you\u2019ll be looking at the water from nearly every vantage point, not least the Beach Cabanas, each with a private pool and terrace garden. It\u2019s enough to make you want to hop on a bicycle and cruise downhill to the resort\u2019s private Beach Club. The staff, anticipating your needs, already knows you\u2019ll want a ride back up. (They probably know you\u2019re reading this right now.)\nHow to get there: Amanzoe is about a 2\u00bd-hour drive from Athens, or a 2-hour ride via hydrofoil from the Athenian port of Piraeus. Helicopter charters are available as well; from Athens Airport (ATH), it\u2019s a 25-minute helicopter flight.\nPool Pavilion Premium View\n6m long pool\nDeluxe Pool Pavilion Premium View\n12m long pool\nDeluxe Pool Pavilion\nViews: partial sea or garden.\nNearby hotels with availability: View more hotels in Kranidi:",

        "raw_content": "Ah, vacations! A time to be free, playful\u2026and frustrated? Frustration obviously isn\u2019t part of an ideal vacation experience. But that doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t rear its ugly head. From delayed planes to misplaced luggage to a hotel room with a giant cockroach in the bathtub, vacations can throw us for a loop.\nOne way to be proactive is to make sure you book the perfect rental. So, what does this look like? What should you seek out when hoping to chill out?\nSure, it\u2019s always possible that you\u2019re a hermit wanting to keep entirely to yourself. It\u2019s also possible that you\u2019re looking to unplug, unwind, and do absolutely nothing for a week or two. Most people, however, fill their vacations with fun things to do. If this is you, make sure you rent a place with nearby amenities, sights, and attractions. A house 100 miles from civilization won\u2019t do you any favors.\nA rental that\u2019s clean\nIt should go without saying, but let\u2019s say it anyway: a vacation rental must be immaculate. No one wants to live in a home with dirty socks on the floor and dishes in the sink. If you find a note asking you to put the wash in the dryer once the rinse cycle finishes, you\u2019re probably not going to leave a stellar review.\nA rental with clear and detailed instructions\nWith the advancement of technology, things like turning on a TV aren\u2019t as easy as they used to be. It\u2019s not just about hitting the power button; it\u2019s about apps and inputs and passwords galore. Everything in a vacation rental should be easy to use and easy to find.\nA place that\u2019s affordable\nNo one wants to spend thousands of dollars on their vacation lodging (okay, maybe Bill Gates wouldn\u2019t mind). Often, vacation rentals are where people spend the least amount of their time, making affordability highly important. Sometimes, a hotel is your best option. Sometimes it\u2019s a condo. Hotels.com allows you to search a variety of places and find one that fits best with your budget.\nAn easy booking experience\nIn the era of two-day shipping and meeting future spouses on the internet, we\u2019ve grown accustomed to convenience; we just don\u2019t want it, we demand it. This doesn\u2019t change when we\u2019re booking vacation rentals \u2013 if the booking experience isn\u2019t easy, we\u2019re not interested. Turnkey Vacation Rentals offers this convenience \u2013 it offers all sorts of luxury lodging with 24-7 attention literally at your fingertips. The only thing standing between you and the vacation of your dreams? Your credit card number.\nVacations can be a lot of work (oh the irony), but they\u2019re worth it. Finding the right rental place is the first step in making sure your time away is everything you desire. Rest, relax, and rejuvenate and do it in a rental that is up to your standards.\nA Take My Shift attendance policy helps your staff find balance between work and play.

        "raw_content": "A blessed and merry Christmas to Hot Air readers!\nposted at 12:01 am on December 25, 2016 by Ed Morrissey\nToday is born our Savior, Christ the Lord.\nMerry Christmas! A Savior is born to us in Bethlehem, and the time of our longing has ceased. That is what we celebrate today, as Charles Schulz reminded us fifty-one years ago:\nTonight\u2019s Midnight Mass Gospel reading is Luke 2:1-14:\nIn those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.\nNow there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, \u201cDo not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.\u201d And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: \u201cGlory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.\u201d\nIsaiah prophesied his appearance in our first reading:\nThe people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, as they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as people make merry when dividing spoils. For the yoke that burdened them, the pole on their shoulder, and the rod of their taskmaster you have smashed, as on the day of Midian. For every boot that tramped in battle, every cloak rolled in blood, will be burned as fuel for flames. For a child is born to us, a son is given us; upon his shoulder dominion rests. They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father-Forever, Prince of Peace. His dominion is vast and forever peaceful, from David\u2019s throne, and over his kingdom, which he confirms and sustains by judgment and justice, both now and forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this!\nEarlier this evening, my wife and I celebrated Christmas Eve by watching The Nativity Story, the excellent film adaptation of the Gospel narrative from the Annunciation to the flight into Egypt. Oscar Isaac and Ciar\u00e1n Hinds are especially good as Joseph and Herod, respectively, but the highlight of the film is this beautiful depiction of the birth of Christ.\nMay your Christmas be filled with the blessings of the Lord, and spent in the joyful company of family and friends.\nThe front page image is a detail from \u201cThe Adoration of the Magi\u201d by Gentile da Fabriano, 1423. On display at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. Image via Wikiart.\nLiberal College Students Vs.

Marketing is the act of promoting your business. Simple! When you delve into the deeper world of marketing, things can begin to get a little complicated. We\u2019re not going to do that though! For now, let\u2019s focus on the simple stuff with 10 marketing tips anybody can use.\nNo matter who you are, what you do or what your goals are, networking can help you. There\u2019s an old saying, \u2018it\u2019s not what you know, it\u2019s who you know\u2019 - it\u2019s so true! You never know who you might be introduced to, and what opportunities might be presented to you as a result. Make sure you attend conferences and other events that will allow you to network and make valuable connections.\nGo out of your way to help clients and colleagues. Heck, even help other businesses. If you can\u2019t take on a job, refer them to a company who will be able to. The other company will really appreciate this and may one day return the favour. Being nice and thoughtful gets you places!\nYou must know your audience. No marketing plan is right if you don\u2019t know them inside out. You\u2019ll need to do some market research to get to know them better. Find out their likes, dislikes, and how you can engage with them. It\u2019ll get you far!\nSocial media is a massive marketing tool these days, so make sure you utilize it and use it to your advantage. Connect with people who you can work with, engage them and share interesting things. A good digital agency will always tell you this!\nWhatever you do, make sure you\u2019re consistent. Using a technique and failing to be consistent with it won\u2019t get you brilliant results.\nCome Up With a Brand Personality\nA brand personality will help people to trust your brand, recognise it, and engage with it better. It can be serious, funny, flirty - you name it. Whatever you think suits your brand. Make sure you keep it the same and bear it in mind when engaging with your customers. This is a great tip for startups.\nIf you haven\u2019t got a website, many of these tips will be pointless. A website can always help you to achieve your goals, even if you run an offline business. If you\u2019re on a tight budget, it\u2019s possible to put one together yourself.\nBlogging is a fantastic marketing technique, and will direct more traffic to your site. You could even develop a loyal following!\nNot getting the results you want? Progress slowed down? Try new things! Marketing is always evolving.\nAlways Monitor Your Progress\nAlways monitor your progress. How else will you know if a technique is working or not?

        "raw_content": "Have I been wrong about voice recognition?\nBy Matt Hanson 2017-07-31T10:53:32.211Z Software\nHas voice control finally come of age? While I\u2019ve been barking voice commands at my Amazon Echo for a while now, and using voice-activated assistants such as Siri on my smartphone for even longer, I hadn\u2019t really considered how far voice recognition has come in recent years.\nWhat really got me thinking about this was talking to one of our regular writers, who mentioned that they use voice recognition software to write all of their articles.\nWhat astonished me about this revelation was that when reading their work I had no idea \u2013 as it was as accurate (both in spelling and grammar) as work written traditionally using a keyboard \u2013 sometimes more so.\nAs I chatted to the writer about this, I asked them how fast writing using voice recognition was, and if it was as fast as typing. While it\u2019s not quite as fast as typing (the writer is a very fast typer, after all), they insisted it was still very quick indeed.\nThis was certainly not my experience of writing using voice recognition many years ago, so I was intrigued. Perhaps I\u2019d been ignoring voice recognition software for too long. So I decided to give it a go.\nHaving not kept up with voice recognition software, there was only really one choice I knew of: Nuance and its Dragon NaturallySpeaking software. I used an earlier version many years ago, and while I had seen the potential, I had been frustrated that it couldn\u2019t quite understand what I was saying (maybe my accent), and spent more time correcting errors than actually writing.\nSo, I was keen to give it another shot, so I got Dragon Professional Version 15, as I was keen to try out some of its more advanced features.\nOf course, if you are not using it in a professional capacity, there is also Dragon NaturallySpeaking Home.\nThe key to a successful voice recognition application is training it to understand your voice, and so the more you use it, the better it becomes. Patiently correcting mistakes, rather than throwing down your headset and dismissing it, like I had done all those years ago, is the key.\nNow that I am older (and slightly wiser), I\u2019ve been working with the software to understand my voice \u2013 though I was actually pleasantly surprised how well it understood me out of the box.\nVoice assistants such as Siri and Amazon Alexa have huge user bases, which they learn from \u2013 and the more people who use them, the smarter they get. This is a brilliant \u2013 and exciting \u2013 example of how software can learn through use.\nAs I continue to use Dragon Professional, I\u2019ve been increasingly impressed \u2013 in fact, I wrote most of this article using just my voice. My next task will be to see if I can use my voice to control my PC as easily as with mouse and keyboard.\nWith Windows 10\u2019s built-in Cortana voice assistant, that should hopefully prove to be pretty easy. Microsoft also has an excellent history of including powerful and useful accessibility tools in its software for people who are unable to use mouse and keyboard.\nOne of the most tiresome aspects of being a journalist is transcribing interviews \u2013 especially if, like me, you can\u2019t stand the sound of your own voice. A nifty feature of Dragon Professional is the ability to drag and drop audio files into a folder, and it will automatically transcribe them.\nIt\u2019s not flawless, and it\u2019s prone to more errors than the voice diction part of the software, though that seems to be more down to the fact that there are multiple voices, as well as more ambient noise that\u2019s picked up by my Dictaphone. Still, it does take the sting out of such a tedious process, and one that I\u2019m eternally grateful for.\nWhile I won\u2019t be packing up my keyboard and mouse just yet, I\u2019ve certainly been impressed with how far voice recognition has come, from Nuance\u2019s software to my Amazon Echo, which works so well I sometimes take it for granted.\nThe best Chromebooks are all equipped for voice recognition",

        "title": "Anthony Powell - Telegraph",
        "raw_content": "Anthony Powell, who has died aged 94, was a master of irony, wit, paradox and social delineation, notably in his panoramic magnum opus of English life, A Dance to the Music of Time.\nIn this compelling 12-volume sequence, Powell created a complete universe into which the reader could enter fully, coming to savour its own special inner mythology, jokes, ramifications and recurring characters. A cast of more than 500 was deftly choreographed across some 70 years in a million-word chronicle at once comic and profound.\nThe experiences of Nicholas Jenkins, the narrator, ran parallel with those of Tony Powell in some obvious respects - Eton, Oxford, publishing, scriptwriting, artistic and aristocratic life, the Army in the Second World War, literary magazines (Powell was literary editor of Punch), home in the West Country.\nBut, as his own entertaining four volumes of memoirs (and more recent three volumes of journals) showed, the Dance was not by any means straight autobiography.\nIndeed, the author's pet hate was people suggesting that such-and-such a character might have been based on So-and-So; such literal-mindedness betrayed, in his view, a crass ignorance of the processes of fiction.\nIn the opening volume, A Question of Upbringing (1951), the reader is introduced to a group of schoolboys - the charming, if feckless, Charles Stringham, whose appearance is characteristically compared to an Elizabethan miniature; the brash Peter Templer; and the memorably odious Widmerpool, notorious for having worn \"the wrong kind of overcoat\" as a new boy - as well as to Jenkins's awkward Uncle Giles, who styles himself \"a bit of a radical\".\nRivers Scott\nAs the Dance progresses, Widmerpool develops into a power-crazed monster, doing for Stringham, Templer and many others, before receiving - in the last volume, Hearing Secret Harmonies (1975) - his come-uppance as a deranged Labour life peer in a sinister hippy commune.\nAlong the way Jenkins encounters - and fortuitously re-encounters - a gallery of personalities worthy of Dickens.\nBecause the Dance took in the odd titled person and spanned a sequence, Powell was inevitably called \"the English Proust\". In The Military Philosophers (1968) Jenkins paid suitable homage on his visit to Cabourg, Proust's \"Balbec\". But while Powell enormously admired the French writer he jibbed at such lazy labels. \"For one thing\", he used to say, \"I am not homosexual.\" For another, such a comparison underrated Powell's originality.\nThen there were the critics who, noticing that he dealt with the eccentricities of upper-class life, would bracket Powell with Evelyn Waugh. His admirers found him a more sympathetic and three-dimensional writer than Waugh and, for all his conventional manner, a surprisingly avant-garde novelist.\nPowell was more concerned with the study of character and the unravelling significance of ostensibly minor incidents than with any contrived plot or \"message\". The narrative would revolve around a few set-pieces, described with a painterly eye for detail; crisp, staccato, even elliptical, dialogue, pages of fastidious philosophical rumination.\nPowell's style was idiosyncratic. He would mix elaborate elegance with ingeniously compressed shorthand, liberally employ parentheses, eschew conjunctions; the effect was comic, satisfying, thought-provoking, addictive.\nAmong Powell's fans some preferred his early pre-war novels to the Dance. Certainly his first book, Afternoon Men (1931), was a brilliantly accomplished comedy of non-manners. Perhaps his comic masterpiece, though, was his third novel, From a View to a Death (1933), a beautifully observed story of a bearded artist, the \"Superman\" Zouch, bent on crashing county society.\nThe scene in which the moustachioed Major Fosdick (who found it \"restful\" to repair to his dressing room, clad in large picture-hat and black sequin evening dress, to read Through the Western Highlands with Rod and Gun) absent-mindedly opens his front door to the local squire while still in drag, and then proceeds to conduct a conversation about the shooting rights to a nearby copse, ranks among the funniest passages in English literature.\nA particular strength of Powell's was his punctilious attention to getting everything right. Every name, every title, every nuance, indeed every word, was unerringly spot-on. John Bayley wrote virtually an entire essay on Powell's use of \"lacustrine\" to describe Venice in Temporary Kings (1973).\nIn maintaining such accuracy - a rare quality in a creative writer - Powell was helped both by his wife, Lady Violet, whose ear for a solecism was as acute as his own; and by his own passion for genealogy.\nPowell's fascination for family history sometimes seemed a source of embarrassment to his more self-consciously \"literary\" admirers, who were inclined to ascribe it to the novelist's need for a harmless distraction, like stamp-collecting.\nBut Powell's interest in genealogy was absolutely fundamental to his life and work. The Dance was underpinned by a framework of labyrinthine connections that are the very stuff of genealogy.\nIt was typical of Powell to begin the first volume of his memoirs, To Keep the Ball Rolling (1976-82), with 40 pages devoted to his antecedents. Typical, too, that the paperback publishers excised this excursion into genealogy.\nTHE POWELL pedigree in Burke's Landed Gentry - to which he contributed some illuminating reflections on the fluidity of society - was traced back, by himself, to the early kings and princes of Wales. Those who erroneously believed the pronunciation of his surname as \"Poel\" was some sort of affectation would be reminded by Powell about \"Old King Coel\".\nPowell, a dedicated antiquary - like the subject of his biography John Aubrey and His Friends (1948) - undertook assiduous genealogical research between novels, publishing his findings in the learned journal of the Radnorshire Society.\nOn his mother's side, he descended from the Dymokes of Scrivelsby in Lincolnshire, a long-established squirearchical family that holds the hereditary office of the Honourable the Queen's Champion and Standard Bearer of England.\nAnthony Dymoke Powell was born in London on December 21, 1905, the only child of Lt-Col Philip Powell of the Welch Regiment.\nHis awareness of place was early sharpened by the frequent moves imposed by his father's military obligations. \"My earliest recollection,\" he wrote in Infants of the Spring (1976), \"is of snow descending in small flakes outside the window of an hotel bedroom.\"\nPart of his childhood was spent near Aldershot, in \"a large bungalow of Indian type\" on which he was later to draw for \"Stonehurst\" in The Kindly Ones (1962). The sensitive depiction of his parents' servants in the novel gave the lie to those who suggested that Powell was only capable of writing about the upper classes.\nSlight of build, with a faintly pointed head and prominent upper lip, Tony attended Gibbs's day school in South Kensington, where he became aware of his inability to play games; \"also of the unpleasantness of some boys - a necessary prelude to the unpleasantness of not a few men\".\nA phlegmatic youth, he survived the rigours of a philistine preparatory school in Kent, where he made friends with Henry Yorke (the future novelist Henry Green). At Eton he revelled in the tolerantly sceptical atmosphere of what was agreed to be the \"worst\" house in the school, where his fag-master was Lord David Cecil.\nPowell especially enjoyed his time in the Drawing Schools under Sidney Evans and was a founding member of the Eton Society of Arts, along with Yorke, Robert Byron and Harold Acton. He was its last survivor.\nIn 1922 he contributed a drawing of \"Colonel Caesar Cannonbrains of the Black Hussars\", in the manner of Lovat Fraser, to the Eton Candle, a publication under the pushy editorship of Brian Howard (part-model for Anthony Blanche in Brideshead Revisited).\nPowell's experience of Oxford, where he read history at Balliol, was far removed from the fantasy world of Brideshead. His phrase about \"the crushing melancholy of the undergraduate condition\" in the opening sentence of Books Do Furnish A Room (1971) summed up how he felt there.\nHe unwisely confided to Maurice Bowra that Oxford had little effect on him. Aside from fancy-dress parties at the rackety Hypocrites Club (where he affected military attire) and a visit to Lady Ottoline Morrell at Garsington, his career there was uneventful.\nPowell started work at the small London publishing house of Duckworth and took rooms in the unlikely area of Shepherd Market. He used to recall, deprecatingly, that he was a publisher \"in the sense that I used to empty the inkpots, interview wrapper design artists, deal with lunatics, that sort of thing\"; but it was Powell who was responsible for bringing Evelyn Waugh - with whom he had made friends at the Central School of Arts & Crafts in Holborn - to Duckworth.\nThe firm published Waugh's first book, on Rossetti, but later turned down his first novel Decline and Fall on grounds on obscenity. Powell, who remained with Duckworth until 1935, had more luck with placing his own novels in-house.\nThe first, Afternoon Men, about an aimless group of bachelors on the fringes of bohemian London, contained the germ of A Dance to the Music of Time. There are, for instance, echoes of Widmerpool in the unprepossessing painter Pringle, whose false nose at a party lends his face \"an unaccustomed dignity\".\nIn the mid-Thirties Powell decided to try his hand as a film scriptwriter. Besides working on \"quota quickies\" for Warner Brothers at Teddington with Terence Rattigan, he had a brief spell in Hollywood - notable only for an encounter with Scott Fitzgerald in a studio canteen - but he claimed that not a line of his ever reached the screen. He captured some of the bizarre absurdities of the film world in his fourth novel, Agents and Patients (1936).\nTOWARDS the end of that decade found himself in lowish water, only keeping afloat by reviewing batches of novels (\"the worst job in the world\") for The Daily Telegraph, Times Literary Supplement and Spectator.\nHe had a briefer but more exhilarating stint on the ill-fated weekly Night and Day, which folded when the child star Shirley Temple successfully sued Graham Greene over a film review in which he referred to her \"dimpled depravity\".\nPowell's fifth novel, What's Become of Waring, appeared in 1939 and - possibly because of the shadow of the war - did not prove a success. It was the first time he had tried a first-person narrator.\nDuring the war Powell served initially with his father's regiment, the Welch. Like Jenkins in the Dance, he \"knew despair\" at the Tactical School housed in the neo-Norman Gosford Castle (alias Castlemallock).\nIndeed, the three authentically downbeat war volumes of Dance - The Valley of Bones (1964), The Soldier's Art (1966) and The Military Philosophers (1968) - closely correspond to Powell's own experiences. Thus Jenkins's encounter with the stylised \"Field Marshal\" (\"I'll shoot 'em up. Is that clear. Shoot 'em up.\") is more or less identical to Major Powell's with Montgomery in 1944.\nPowell had transferred to the Intelligence Corps three years earlier and served as a liaison officer with the Allied Forces. He was awarded the Czech Order of the White Lion, the Luxembourg Order of the Oaken Crown and Croix de Guerre and the Belgian Order of Leopold II.\nAfter the war he completed his research on his study of John Aubrey, a hitherto undervalued 17th-century figure, and also published a volume of selections from Aubrey's Brief Lives.\nHe looked after the fiction side of the Times Literary Supplement until accepting Malcolm Muggeridge's offer to be literary editor of Punch in 1952.\nHe and Muggeridge had both been friends of George Orwell in the Forties. In Infants of the Spring, Powell gave a revealing account of his first meeting with Orwell (as Blair, an unknown senior at Eton) at the Cafe Royal in 1941.\nPowell was wearing his patrol uniform, and feared that Orwell might think him the representative of a brutal military caste. With serious look and urgent voice, Orwell asked him a question: \"Do your trousers strap under the foot?\" Receiving Powell's affirmative, Orwell nodded: \"That's really the important thing.\"\nOn Punch, Powell tried his hand at literary parody, scoring a bull's-eye on Kipling, with \"If, on the rocks, without soda\". He also wrote full-page reviews and instituted a shorter, snappier form of notice. In his memoirs Powell painted a picture of life in Bouverie Street as \"far from hearty Falstaffian mirth\".\nHis friendship with Muggeridge, whose \"television personality\" he found increasingly alienating, eventually foundered when the Sage of Robertsbridge made some disobliging remarks about Casanova's Chinese Restaurant (1964), the sixth volume of A Dance to the Music of Time.\nAfter 24 years, in 1975, the great 12-volume saga was finished. In 1997, after several abortive attempts, Dance was adapted for television (by Hugh Whitemore). Powell himself caught the play-writing bug in the Sixties after an Italian, Riccardo Aragno, adapted Afternoon Men for the stage.\nHis own original plays, The Garden God and The Rest I'll Whistle, were placed in the managerial hands of William Donaldson and Binkie Beaumont respectively, but neither was, in the event, produced.\nBeing \"in principle firmly against censorship\", Powell agreed to be a witness for the defence in that Sixties cause celbre, the Lady Chatterley Trial, but was not called. The victorious Penguin Books later fell out with Powell himself over their \"loutish\" treatment of his friend Osbert Lancaster, who drew some evocative covers for the Dance volumes in paperback - as later, for another publisher, did Mark Boxer.\nHaving stayed on at Punch after Muggeridge left in 1957, Powell was sacked as literary editor the next year by the unsympathetic new editor, Bernard Hollowood, a Minor Counties cricketer and City cartoonist.\nHe then resumed regular reviewing for The Daily Telegraph, where his last paragraphs reproving authors for hideous howlers passed into legend. He covered a wide range of history and biography, phases of art and taste, as well as reconsidering novelists of the past and, of course, genealogical works.\nHis fortnightly arrangement as lead reviewer continued happily until 1990 when he and his collection of reviews, Miscellaneous Verdicts, were vituperatively trampled upon in The Sunday Telegraph by Auberon Waugh.\nThe upshot was that Powell resigned as a contributor to the Telegraph after more than 50 years. By way of making some amends, the paper's management subscribed to a specially commissioned bust by William Pye.\nPowell began to review for the Spectator again, contributed to the London Magazine, edited by his friend Alan Ross, and kept in touch with the literary scene. Among the writers of a younger generation who became his friends were Roy Fuller, Kingsley Amis (whom he effectively \"discovered\" when he was on Punch), Robert Conquest and V S Naipaul.\nA member of the Travellers' Club for 70 years, Powell journeyed to America, India, the Far East and on cultural cruises where he could pursue his interest in ancient history. One of his post-Dance novels, The Fisher King (1986) described such a cruise with Arthurian overtones. The other fiction of his later period was O, How the Wheel Becomes It! (1983), a novella about the pangs of retrospective sexual jealousy.\nThen, on the eve of his 90th birthday, Powell produced a surprise, even a shock. Although known not to have previously kept a diary, he published three volumes of Journals, covering the decade from 1982 to 1992.\nWhile many delighted in this late bottling of the Master's dry wit, measured irony and quirky anecdotes, some were taken aback by the tetchy tones of an octogenarian sage no longer prepared to pull his punches.\nBesides swipes at the stupidity of politicians, reviewers and sub-editors (\"one notes again and again what amounts to censorship of any original idea in a piece\"), Powell delivered body blows to such literary sacred cows as Virginia Woolf (\"what a dreadful woman she was\"), Greene (\"absurdly overrated\"), Laurie Lee (\"utterly unreadable\") and the \"woolly-minded\" Auden Gang.\nPreviously Powell had rigorously eschewed public political gestures - which he did not consider the stock-in-trade of a writer - but he had always been a staunch opponent of the Left and of totalitarianism.\nHe attended the occasional writers' conference, as in Bulgaria where C P Snow told him that his fellow delegates argued as to whether Powell \"looked like a professor or a soldier\".\nIt is a question which has exercised many observers. Ferdinand Mount likened Powell's appearance to the publisher he once was. Others, expecting a tall, aloof presence were surprised to come across a toothy, chatty man of average height - though far from deserving of Philip Larkin's semi-affectionate nickname \"Horse-Faced Dwarf\", or \"HFD\".\nHis sibilant Etonian drawl retained a hint of what his housemaster had described as \"a way of speaking which may give offence to some because it seems to imply a cold superiority\". But he perceptively added: \"It may of course be simply due to shyness.\"\nPowell was, in short, an enigma. His volumes of memoirs - while containing an incisive collection of pen-portraits of his contemporaries - told the reader as little about the man himself as his 12-volume novel sequence disclosed about its narrator.\nBut to his close friends and admirers he revealed a potent charm, sympathy and concern, above all a humorous curiosity, that was peculiarly his own.\n\"Melancholy,\" Powell thought, \"should be taken for granted in any writer with a true gift for comedy.\" He was prone to accidie and occasionally to sloth - the deadly sin acted out by Jenkins in front of Sir Magnus Donners' tapestries, one of which depicted \"a goat of unreliable aspect\".\nPowell's own features were portrayed by various artists including Augustus John, Rodrigo Moynihan (for his 80th birthday) and most recently by Henry Mee - to whose \"British Eminencies\" exhibition Powell contributed some pithy captions. Of himself he wrote: \"Powell undoubtedly looks a shade battered, perhaps even the recent subject of physical assault. If so, he seems to have taken it philosophically. He wears an oldish suit, red shirt, check tie, suitable clothes for more presentable occasions in the country. He holds some blue object, possibly a large book, possibly an equally large pocket handkerchief. The painter has caught something of the ironies and paradoxes of a writer's life.\"\nPowell served as a trustee of the National Portrait Gallery from 1962 to 1976. Among the literary awards he won was the T S Eliot Prize for Creative Literature, the citation of which from the Ingersoll Foundation mentioned his contribution to upholding Judaeo-Christian standards and the Ten Commandments.\nIt was a signal honour for one whom Evelyn Waugh once accurately suspected of agnosticism.\nPowell was, in his own words, \"basically non-croyant\", though, as A Dance to the Music of Time shows, he took keen interest in spiritualism and metaphysics.\nPowell's recreations included bottling wine imported in hogsheads from France, and covering every inch of the gentlemen's lavatory in the basement of his Regency country-house in Somerset with a collage of faces cut from magazines.\nHe was appointed CBE in 1956 and CH in 1988.\nHe married, in 1934, Lady Violet Pakenham, third daughter of the 5th Earl of Longford. The occasion was marked by the publication of Powell's satirical poem, Caledonia, a swipe at the \"Scotch\" (the form he preferred) in the 18th-century manner, which was bound in tartan and printed by a man \"somewhat given to the bottle\" - hence the numerous misprints.\nBesides her own books, Lady Violet edited An Album to Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time (1987). She survives him, together with their two sons.",

        "raw_content": "Top writers tell Cameron to reform libel law\nSome of Britain\u2019s leading writers are calling on the three party leaders to honour their promises to reform libel laws amid suggestions that the plans could be scrapped in a row over Press regulation.\nAuthor Salman Rushdie Photo: CLARA MOLDEN\nAuthors including Sir Salman Rushdie, Dame Antonia Fraser, Ian McEwan and Stephen Fry say they are \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d that the reforms will be abandoned.\nDowning Street indicated that ministers are prepared to scrap the Defamation Bill after it was changed by Labour to include a new \u201cLeveson Law\u201d on establishing a Press watchdog.\nIn an open letter to David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg, the writers condemn the attempt to bring in Lord Justice Leveson\u2019s plan for Press regulation by amending the Defamation Bill.\nCurrent libel laws, which can result in \u201cruinous\u201d fines and legal costs, threaten to \u201cchill the speech of anyone who has the courage to speak out in the public interest\u201d, the letter, released by the English PEN writers organisation, says.\nThe Defamation Bill offers an opportunity to reform that law on libel that cannot be missed, they say.\nLabour gave Tories 'gift' by selecting Ed Miliband\nMP condemns Lords curb on press\nPutting self-interest ahead of press freedom\nOperation Elveden: Prison officer to be charged\nThis is press censorship\nA new press regulator\n\u201cWe are deeply concerned that the Bill is currently under threat, following the insertion of a new clause, late in the legislative process, which introduced aspects of Lord Justice Leveson's recommendations.\n\u201cThe Defamation Bill is not a suitable vehicle for the wider proposals of press regulation - as Lord Justice Leveson himself noted, libel did not form part of his terms of reference.\n\u201cIt is therefore entirely inappropriate, and even reckless, for libel reform to be sacrificed to the current political stalemate.\u201d\nSignatories to the letter include the novelist Lisa Appignanesi, the playwrights Sir David Hare and Michael Frayn, and Sir Tom Stoppard, and the biographer Claire Tomalin.\nLast month, a controversial revision to the Defamation Bill was passed in the Lords, which would create a new arbitration service between newspapers and members of the public making claims for libel.\nUnder the amendment, proposed by the Labour peer and film producer Lord Puttnam, an independent body would be established to certify the new arbitration arrangements.\nNewspapers that declined to sign up to the system would face punitive fines in the courts if they lost libel cases.\nDowning Street signalled that Mr Cameron was so strongly opposed to Lord Puttnam\u2019s plan that the entire Bill could be jettisoned to prevent it becoming law.\nThe Prime Minister\u2019s official spokesman said: \u201cThe Puttnam amendments are not government policy. The government does not support those, and has made clear that the Puttnam amendments will not go on the statute book.\u201d\nWith both Labour and the Liberal Democrats in favour of a Press law, there is no guarantee that Mr Cameron would be able to secure votes from enough MPs\u2019 to reverse Lord Puttnam\u2019s revisions if the Bill returns to the Commons.\n:: Here is the full text of the letter:\nAn open letter to the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon David Cameron MP; the Deputy Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Nick Clegg MP; the Leader of the Opposition, the Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP\nWe are writing to urge you to fulfil your commitment to libel reform and ensure that the Defamation Bill is passed.\nAll three parties made a pledge in their manifestos and this was restated in the Government's coalition agreement.\nThe Defamation Bill is not a suitable vehicle for the wider proposals of press regulation - as Lord Justice Leveson himself noted, libel did not form part of his terms of reference. It is therefore entirely inappropriate, and even reckless, for libel reform to be sacrificed to the current political stalemate.\nThe bill offers an opportunity for reform that we cannot afford to miss. This is a citizens' bill that has the support of scientists, consumer groups, lawyers, doctors, journalists, writers and bloggers - more than 60,000 individuals have signed the Libel Reform Campaign's petition for reform.\nThis rare consensus across society springs from the knowledge that the libel laws of England and Wales may chill the speech of anyone who has the courage to speak out in the public interest.\nSince the campaign for libel reform began three years ago, you will be aware of the many cases of scientists who have faced ruinous libel suits simply for blowing the whistle on dangerous medical practices, of writers whose investigations in the public interest cannot be published in the UK for fear of an action and consumer forums who face threatening letters from claimant lawyers for exposing poor practice.\nIf the law is not reformed, bullies will continue to be able to prevent the publication of stories that are often not only in the public interest, but a matter of public health and safety.\nOur libel laws are not just a national disgrace, but an international concern. The UN Human Rights Committee singled the UK out for the impact of libel on freedom of expression; the USA has introduced legislation to protect its citizens from our libel courts.\nThe Defamation Bill promises to bring libel law into the 21st century by providing effective defences for online publication, it will stop corporations from bullying individuals into silence, put an end to trivial and vexatious claims, and introduce a long overdue public interest defence.\nThis is an historic moment for free speech in this country. As writers and members of English PEN, we ask you to honour your commitment and ensure that the bill completes its passage by the end of this session of Parliament.\nSignatories include: Antonia Fraser, Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, Lisa Appignanesi, David Hare, Stephen Fry, Michael Frayn, Ali Smith, Tom Stoppard and Claire Tomalin",

        "raw_content": "Dynamic distribution of dye liquor cycle for the fabric dyeing machine\nDuring the operation of the fabric dyeing machine, it is considered that some fabrics with a large specific surface area of the fiber usually have a relatively high dyeing rate, and if the control is not good, the dyeing is easy. Therefore, in order to ensure levelness, it is often necessary to control the maximum dyeing amount of the dye in each cycle of the fabric. At this time, according to the fabric characteristics and the dyeing process, the dyeing amount of the dye in each cycle of the fabric can be controlled to ensure the quality of the deep and light colors.\nMoreover, the dye used will change the dyeing of the fabric differently. According to the fluid dynamics, the kinematic viscosity of the liquid decreases with the increase of temperature, and the kinematic viscosity of the air increases with the increase of temperature. For airflow dyeing, as the temperature increases, the viscosity of the dye liquor decreases and the viscosity of the gas increases, which is more conducive to breaking the boundary layer of the dye liquor and thinning its thickness, accelerating the dyeing process of the dye, thereby shortening the dyeing process and dyeing time of the dyeing machine.\nMoreover, as the kinematic viscosity of the two fluids changes, it provides favorable conditions for improving the working efficiency of the dyeing machine. That is to say, in the case where the circulating air volume is constant (the fan power is increased), the increase in the viscosity of the air increases the traction of the fabric, and the speed of the fabric is increased. Such a change in conditions is more conducive to the uniform dyeing of the fabric by the dye.www.textiledyeingmachines.com\nPrevious: Temperature control and fabric steaming process of the yarn dyeing machine\nNext: Causes of internal faults in jet dyeing machine",

        "raw_content": "How Jerusalem's Mayor Overpowered an Attacker\nNir Barkat subdued a man who was assaulting an Orthodox Jew.\nLast September, Jeffrey Goldberg kicked off his interview with Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat at the CityLab Conference with this ominous descriptor: \"You're the only mayor I can think of who governs a city where the end of the world could take place. In other words, the act of a single religious fanatic of any faith could trigger a regional conflagration, something even worse.\"\nAfter Goldberg finished his table-setter, Barkat, a former venture capitalist who fancies his city to be more of a brand than a powder keg, pushed back. \"That's an interesting introduction, I have to admit,\" he said to laughter.\nBut on Sunday, the elements of both the brand and powder keg convened on a Jerusalem street when Barkat's motorcade encountered an attack in progress involving a Palestinian man who had just stabbed an ultra-Orthodox Israeli in broad daylight near Jerusalem's city hall. Barkat and his entourage confronted the attacker* and city cameras captured Barkat (in the white shirt) subduing the man:\nFollowing the incident, Barkat told reporters what happened.\nMy bodyguard took out his weapon and when he aimed at the terrorist, the terrorist dropped his knife and we immediately tackled him on the ground to make sure that he cannot continue with the terror attack and then went out to see the wounded person that, thank God, was relatively slightly wounded we gave him first aid.\nAccording to reports, the man is an 18-year-old Palestinian who had been living in Israel illegally. While quieter as of late, Jerusalem had been gripped by rioting and violence as recently as November when the closure of the Temple Mount brought demonstrators out into the streets and a series of deadly attacks put the city on high alert.\nBy Monday, Barkat had become a magnet for praise among politicians ahead of Israel's national elections, which take place in less than a month. Former Israeli ambassador to the United States (and current candidate for Israeli Knesset) Michael Oren sought to remind his Twitter followers that he and Barkat had fought together in the 1982 Lebanon War.\nNot surprised to see @NirBarkat take down the terrorist. We served together in the paratroopers; he courageously demonstrates our values.\n\u2014 Michael Oren (@DrMichaelOren) February 23, 2015\nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the most of the moment, scoring Barkat's endorsement in the upcoming elections on Monday.\nMeanwhile, the Jerusalem Municipality appears to be having a bit too much fun with the fallout from Sunday's episode; the city published a collection of Barkat memes on its Facebook page on Monday.\n* This post originally referred to an assault against an ultra-Orthodox Jew in Jerusalem as a terrorist attack. It is unclear at this time that the attack was related to terrorism.",

Parts of the grounds were laid out by Lancelot \u201cCapability\u201d Brown, who went to school in Cambo.\nWallington was once in the possession of the wealthy Northumbrian Fenwick family and was purchased from Sir John Fenwick (1645-1697) in 1688 by Sir William Blackett, (\u201cthe Orator\u201d), (1657-1705), who was created a Baronet is his own right. Sir William demolished the old house, but retained some parts which he incorporated into his new building of Wallington Hall.\nSir William died in 1705, and the house passed to his son, another Sir William (1689-1728), who married Lady Barbara Villiers. The marriage produced no legitimate heirs, and on Sir William\u2019s death a condition of his Will was that his estate went to his nephew, Walter Calverley, on condition he married Sir William\u2019s illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth Ord, and assumed the name Blackett. This was fulfilled.\nThe only child of Sir Walter and Elizabeth died young, and in the absence of a male heir, after Sir Walter\u2019s death in 1777 Wallington passed to his nephew, Sir John Trevelyan, the son of his sister Julia, Sir Walter having bought the full title to it in 1750.\nSir Walter Calverley Blackett was described as a generous man, renowned for his outstanding acts of charity. While an M.P. at Westminster, he followed an independent line, being styled \u201cThe Patriot\u201d and \u201cThe Opposer of the Court\u201d. When, in 1771, a Rockingham Whig reproached Charles Jenkinson (the future Earl of Liverpool) over his obscure origin, Sir Walter said: \u201cEvery man carries his honour in his own hand, Origin is nothing; it shall never have any weight with me.\u201d[i] He made vast improvements to the house and estate and is credited with much of what is seen of the present day Wallington. There are many other external features of interest, added over the centuries by the Trevelyan family, which only go to enhance and make Wallington Hall a truly delightful place to visit.\nWallington Hall remained in the Trevelyan family for over two centuries. The estate is now part of The National Trust and is open to the public.\nThe film, \u201cThe Black Velvet Gown\u201d, from the novel written by Dame Catherine Cookson, was filmed partly on location at Wallington Hall, as was the TV adaptation of her novel \u201cThe Rag Nymph\u201d.\nRecommended reading: \u201cMemoirs of The Public Life of Sir Walter Blackett of Wallington, Baronet\u201d by John Straker.\n[i] The National Trust Wallington Guidebook, 1976 p. 4.",

Supermarkets immediately pulled the products from the shelves and the Government\u2019s Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee launched an inquiry.\nThe site has since reopened under the surveillance of the FSA.\nThis month, the FSA stopped meat from leaving Russell Hume sites due to \u201cserious non-compliance with food hygiene regulations.\u201d The factory has closed as the investigation continues.\nAreas of interest for the investigation into Russell Hume include the extended use of use by dates and the food safety management system that the business has in place.\nJason Feeney, chief executive of the FSA said: \u201cOur investigation into the major non-compliances we found at the Russell Hume plants in England and Scotland is intensifying. We have already stopped these plants producing meat products, have ensured the withdrawal and disposal of the products and now we are looking at the root cause of the incident and any culpability. The investigation is looking into all aspects of the business to establish more details about the serious and widespread problems that we identified. This will then determine whether additional enforcement action should be taken. Therefore we will be unable to make any further comments on the detail of the investigation.\n\u201cIt remains the case that there is no indication that people have become ill from eating meat supplied by Russell Hume and we continue to assess the situation working with the relevant public health bodies.\u201d\nFood Standards Agency defends its handling of Russell Hume investigation >>\nFsa, Russell Hume, 2 Sisters Food Group, Food Standards Scotland, Fss and The Food Standards Agency.",

        "raw_content": "Mohegan Sun plays major role in helping those with disabilities\nLedyard Schools Transition Academy intern John Bartosiak of Ledyard places a tray of popovers on the rack to be baked Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019, in the bakery at Mohegan Sun. The casino's performance improvement manager, Bill Donehey, has provided internships for disabled young adults to prepare them for permanent jobs. (Dana Jensen/The Day)\nMohegan \u2014 In Mohegan Sun\u2019s wardrobe department, young people with disabilities are making seamless transitions.\nRanging in age from 18 to 21, they\u2019ve completed the academic requirements for high school diplomas. Now, they\u2019re mastering what it takes to make it in the real world, including holding down a meaningful job.\nSome of them, perhaps most, will end up working here permanently.\nThe students are enrolled in the Norwich school system\u2019s Norwich Transition Academy, an early participant in the Mohegan Sun Student Vocational Inclusion Program. The Ledyard, Montville and Waterford school systems also have joined, and United Cerebral Palsy of Eastern Connecticut has announced that it will collaborate with Mohegan Sun and the state Department of Developmental Services to provide a dozen internships at the casino for young people with physical, developmental and intellectual disabilities.\nTom Dufort, director of the Norwich Transition Academy, recalled that he and Bill Donehey, Mohegan Sun\u2019s performance improvement manager, put the inclusion program together in 2011. He said the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, known as IDEA, had urged schools to ensure that their special-needs students have the employment skills to function as adults.\nThen new to Norwich, Dufort put in a \u201ccold call\u201d to Mohegan Sun.\n\u201cBill took care of everything on his end,\u201d Dufort said of Donehey. \u201cHe made sure that the internships involved real work, that the students were doing the same things that Mohegan Sun\u2019s paid employees did. Every year, it expanded.\"\nThe Norwich Transition Academy places students in internships at other host sites, too, including a Papa Gino\u2019s restaurant, Big Y and Goodwill outlets and Dodd Stadium. Each day, students report to the academy\u2019s Hickory Street location, where they have lockers and access to kitchen and laundry facilities. They\u2019re given weekly stipends to shop for groceries, and prepare their own lunches.\nThen it\u2019s off to work.\nAt Mohegan Sun, students rotate into stints in a number of departments over the course of the academic year \u2014 wardrobe, culinary, the fitness center, housekeeping, landscaping and others.\nDufort said nine Norwich Transition Academy graduates are working at the casino.\n'Employment and independence'\nBehind the scenes at Mohegan Sun, the corridors have street names. One of them, \u201cUncas Mile,\u201d says something about the size of the space.\nIt\u2019s here, in a few crowded rooms off the main drag, that the casino\u2019s wardrobe department maintains the uniforms worn by nearly 7,000 employees. The department tracks some 652 different kinds of garments, the total number of items nearing 102,000, according to Pat Roberge, the department\u2019s director.\nWorking alongside regular employees, the students launder and inventory the garments, organize the stockroom, prepare name tags, attach barcodes, sew on buttons and answer phones.\nGenerally, a half-dozen Norwich interns are working in the department at any one time.\n\u201cFor many, this is their first work experience,\u201d said Austin Dayger, a Norwich Transition Academy jobs coach who joins students at the host site. \u201cEmployment and independence are the goals. We want them to be able to make a seamless transition from the high school environment.\u201d\nAll of the Norwich students spend time in Mohegan Sun\u2019s wardrobe department and, for many, it\u2019s the worksite where they have the most success, Dayger said.\nOn the same day last week that Norwich students were interning in wardrobe, students from the Ledyard school system's transition program were working in the casino\u2019s culinary department in another \u201cback of the house\u201d location.\nStef Denegre, a Ledyard transition coach, said three of his students were working that day in the bake shop and three more were in the casino\u2019s Seasons Buffet. Over time, he said, the students have the opportunity to gravitate toward the departments in which they prefer to work.\nOne thing that helps set Mohegan Sun apart as a host site is the range of opportunities it provides and the diversity of the people who work there, virtually all of whom embrace the inclusion model, Denegre said.\n\u201cWhen the students have a question, they don\u2019t come to me,\u201d he said. \u201cThey go to their co-workers. It\u2019s like they\u2019re really working.\u201d\nDiversity good for business\nBy all accounts, Bill Donehey has been the driving force behind Mohegan Sun\u2019s inclusion programs.\nA 63-year-old Army veteran with a background in human resources and restaurant management, he arrived at the casino in 2001, left for a time and returned as a job trainer. He has some personal experience with physical disabilities, having grown up with impaired vision and suffering some hearing loss while training to fire shoulder-launched missiles in Vietnam.\nDonehey believes the percentage of people \u201con the spectrum\u201d for autism or having some other kind of disability is far greater than generally believed. What\u2019s more, he said, almost everyone knows someone with a cognitive or physical disability.\n\u201cAnd 80 percent of them find employment,\u201d he said.\nPeople with disabilities are especially susceptible to bullying and anxiety, obstacles the students in Mohegan Sun\u2019s inclusion programs typically overcome, according to Donehey. He said he\u2019s seen many students develop the confidence to obtain a driver\u2019s license, for example, which can be vital to keeping a job after high school.\nWhen Waterford-based United Cerebral Palsy of Eastern Connecticut sought to participate in Project SEARCH, it turned to Donehey and Mohegan Sun.\n\u201cThey welcomed us,\u201d said Jennifer Keatley, UCP\u2019s executive director. \u201cWe had a couple of people with developmental disabilities working there already and they were open to expanding.\u201d\nProject SEARCH, first introduced at a children\u2019s hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio, has spread across the United States. Its goal is to provide those with significant disabilities between 18 and 35 years of age with the on-the-job training they need to live productive adult lives.\n\u201cMohegan Sun can afford interns a diversified workplace with a lot of opportunities in hospitality, finance, gaming,\u201d Keatley said. \"That's what makes them such a good partner.\"\nDonehey \"recognizes that a diverse workforce is good for business,\u201d she said. \u201cOne in four Americans has a disability of some kind, be it physical, behavioral or intellectual. It might be something due to aging or acquired like MS (multiple sclerosis). It could be the symptoms experienced by a returning vet, or something a person is born with.\"\n\u201cMohegan Sun is way ahead on this.\u201d\nLedyard Schools Transition Academy intern Chelsey Rediger of Ledyard prepares jalapeno cornbread Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019, in the bakery at Mohegan Sun.

Mohegan Sun performance improvement manager Bill Donehey has provided internships for disabled young adults to prepare them for permanent jobs for several years. (Dana Jensen/The Day)\nWhat: United Cerebral Palsy of Eastern Connecticut is taking applications for the 12 openings in the upcoming Project SEARCH internship program at Mohegan Sun, which will run from September 2019 through June 2020.\nTo apply: Information about the program and the application process will be available at a session from 6 to 8 p.m. March 7 at UCP of Eastern Connecticut, 42 Norwich Road, Quaker Hill.\nAnd more: On March 16, Mohegan Sun will host a Disability Summit, bringing together representatives of 75 state and local agencies that support young people with disabilities.",

        "raw_content": "Debt should not be forever\nWhen your friends talk about debt and the media talks about the average debt of SA households, you can come to believe that debt is just part of life. So even though you may have moments (or months) of worry, at some point it can become a normalized stress, just another frustration of modern living.\nIf your friends and family think debt is a way of life, you\u2019re more likely to accept debt as part of your life. But it doesn\u2019t have to be like that. You can be debt free.\nLike most people I had grown to accept debt as part of life and that it's a normal thing to do. I even considered it as part of my monthly budget indefinitely.\nDeep down I knew that I didn't want to be like those people with a 30 year home loan who believe this is it for them without much regard to when it will end, or making it end sooner. 30 years is a very long time and in between life happens. I realised that to accept this time-frame just makes you desensitized to this disastrous life.\nSo I got tired of paying off things that I didn't need anymore. I got tired of spending what seems to be an endless amount of time worrying about finances when I could simply spend it living a happy life.\nOnce I saw debt for what it was (in my case, a chain that was binding me to jobs that I didn't like anymore and keeping me living the way I wanted to live), I was free. I stopped buying in to the notion that I need to live the rest of my life with debt and that \u201cdebt is normal\u201d.\nI imagined a life where my money was money and I didn't have to pay any at the end of the month with it. I imagined a life where I lived without the costly financial burden of debt, where I can give freely and plan for the future.\nI deserved a debt free life and I was going to make it happen. So I doubled and tripled my payments to get rid of it.\nSo if this is what you want for yourself, I encourage you not to not be lazy about your debt and stop treating it like a friend that\u2019s going to stick around for a while. Debt is not your friend but it's also not going to go away on it's own. It will take a lot of work, but at the end I know it will be worth it.",

The first to call this area home were the Sioux and Chippewa Nations. Later, the first traders and trappers in Minnesota Territory settled here.\nBy the mid 1880\u2019s, railroading and river activity helped build the community into a bustling town of 13,000 people. Stillwater became the trade center for miners and trappers to the North, and farmers and lumbermen to the West. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad eventually saw a need for a freight depot.\nThe builders set to work using heavy mill timber; two foot thick limestone foundation walls, and eighteen inch exterior walls hovering thirty feet high. Flooring four inches wide and one inch thick were milled from the maples found on the river islands nearby. Finally, the heavy ceiling trusses were placed, carrying the full weight of a solid slate roof.\nThe depot was finished in January of 1883, handling as many as seventy rail cars a day, and housing the areas telegraph office. In later years, Curtis Feed and Coal and the Farm Service Store operated out of the \u201cFreight House,\u201d as it was now called. In 1970, the Milwaukee Road Railroad closed the agency and the building was sold.\nIn 1979, the historical significance of the building was recognized and the Freight House became the first building in Stillwater to be placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.\nThe building still stands as it did over a century ago. It remains a symbol of Stillwater\u2019s colorful and historic past, as the popular \u201cFreight House Restaurant.\u201d\nHistory - Intro\nHistory - Content",

        "raw_content": "Trump's tweets show how rattled he is by Mueller's findings\nThe president crowing about vindication is a ploy to distract from the mounting evidence of collusion with Russia\n@JillAbramson\n\u2018Robert Mueller\u2019s recent court filings show suspicious contacts between top Trump campaign advisers and Russians.\u2019 Photograph: Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call,Inc.\nIt was easy to tell how rattled President Trump was by Robert Mueller\u2019s most recent and devastating court filings. In a tweet-storm, the president (referred to as Individual 1 in the court documents) kept insisting the filings were good news for him.\nThis is a typical Trump ploy going back decades to his earliest days in the real estate business. After having to settle a case in which the family real estate empire was turning away black tenants in the 1970s, the young mogul rushed to the microphones to claim victory.\nThe new documents filed for Michael Cohen\u2019s sentencing were clearly terrible news for the president. We already knew from Cohen\u2019s earlier guilty plea that Individual 1 (AKA Trump) was up to his eyeballs in the plan to pay hush money to two women who said they had sex with him. The prosecutors\u2019 court filings on Friday were important because they show Cohen told them that it was Donald Trump himself who directed him to make the payments, which were illegal because campaign money was used. So, the president\u2019s direct involvement in a felony violation of US campaign laws could place him in greater legal jeopardy.\nThe president\u2019s reaction to the filings came, naturally, in a tweet: \u201cTotally clears the president. Thank you!\u201d That day, he had also said: \u201cOn the Mueller situation, we\u2019re very happy with what we are reading because there was no collusion whatsoever. The last thing I want is help from Russia on a campaign. You should ask Hillary Clinton about Russia.\u201d Of course, the opposite is true.\nThe new court documents show still more suspicious contacts between top Trump campaign advisers and Russians with close government connections. These contacts are added proof of the Russian meddling in the 2016 election that Mueller has been investigating for almost two years. The pieces of a collusion case are beginning to fit together.\nMueller revealed that Cohen, the Trump fixer, told prosecutors about a previously unknown November 2015 contact with an unnamed Russian national who claimed to be a \u201ctrusted person\u201d in the Russian Federation. The Russian was offering Cohen help on winning approval for a Trump Tower in Moscow that the Trump Organization had been pursuing for years. During his campaign Trump repeatedly denied doing any business in Russia, another epic lie.\nBut Cohen\u2019s unnamed Russian contact was offering more than help on a business deal. He was also suggesting political help, calling it \u201cpolitical synergy\u201d and \u201csynergy on a government level\u201d, according to the new filings. Cohen said this person also offered to arrange a meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putin, promising that such a meeting would have a \u201cphenomenal\u201d impact, \u201cnot only in political but in a business dimension as well\u201d. Apparently, Cohen did not follow up with his unnamed Russian contact, but the offer of political help points to a collusion case, since it is illegal for foreign countries to meddle in US elections.\nAnother new document focused on Paul Manafort\u2019s lying about his contacts with a suspected Russian spy named Konstantin Kilimnik. Although much of the material about Kilimnik is heavily redacted, Mueller has said he has ties to the same Russian intelligence unit that was involved in the hacking of Democratic party emails, which formed the basis of an earlier Mueller indictment of Russian intelligence officials. This filing, too, enlarges the number of Russian contacts Trump campaign officials are known to have had.\nCohen is scheduled to be sentenced next week in New York City. Manafort\u2019s sentencing has been scheduled for 5 March.\nAlso due to be sentenced is Michael Flynn, the short-lived national security adviser. He had already pleaded guilty to lying about calls with Russia\u2019s ambassador about sanctions imposed on Russia by President Obama and a United Nations vote on Israel. Mueller recommended no jail time for Flynn because he\u2019s given \u201csubstantial\u201d help to the investigation. Flynn had 19 interviews with Mueller\u2019s team and offered firsthand knowledge of \u201cinteractions between individuals in the presidential transition team and Russia\u201d following the 2016 election.\nWith the flurry of recent activity, it looks like Mueller\u2019s investigation may be wrapping up and that he may have a strong collusion case. We have not yet seen the fruits of Mueller\u2019s other area of interest: whether the president obstructed justice to hide these Russian contacts.\nAxios has compiled a comprehensive list of the Russian contacts with Trump officials known so far. They include his eldest son, his son-in-law, his lawyer and his campaign manager. The contacts started earlier (in Cohen\u2019s case in 2015) and continued into the transition. The list shows how substantial Mueller\u2019s case has grown and has to be deeply disturbing to the president.\nOf course, according to the president, he has been vindicated. In coming days, he will be tweeting and repeatedly reminding us that Mueller has found \u201cno collusion\u201d. The only person the president says should be investigated for Russian collusion is, naturally, Hillary Clinton.\n\u2022 Jill Abramson is a Guardian US columnist",

        "raw_content": "Uganda\u2019s success in universal primary education falling apart\nDespite the $302m spent annually on primary education, almost 70% of children are likely to drop out, with hidden costs proving too high for poorer parents\nAlon Mwesigwa in Kampala\nThu 23 Apr 2015 02.00 EDT Last modified on Wed 31 May 2017 06.15 EDT\nStudents in their first year of primary school line up to have their work examined by a teacher at Acutomer primary school in Pader district, Uganda. Photograph: Ric Francis/Zuma/Alamy\nA gentle drizzle beats an insistent rhythm on the rusty, corrugated iron classroom roof at Katwe primary school in a suburb of Kampala, Uganda\u2019s capital.\nIt is a chilly morning and children in the primary one class are learning the alphabet. \u201cA, B, C,\u201d they repeat after their teacher. But many of these children will not finish their seven years of primary education.\nWhat is the millennium development goal on education all about?\nIrene Namusuubo Guloba, the headteacher, says: \u201cAround 250 of our pupils did not come back this year. We cannot tell exactly where they went.\u201d This exodus of pupils is not unusual here \u2013 some transfer to other schools, but others drop out completely, Guloba says.\nKatwe primary is one of the government schools implementing the Universal Primary Education (UPE) scheme.\nWhen the initiative started in 1997, as part of a national policy to provide free primary education for underprivileged children, it was a dream come true for most poor parents in the east African state. Wealthier parents take their children to private schools.\nIn record time, numbers in UPE schools soared. Enrolment increased from 3.1 million pupils in 1996 to 8.4 million in 2013.\nThe numbers are evenly spread between boys and girls. And the country has been commended for achieving more than 90% of MDG2, which aimed to ensure that all children \u2013 boys and girls alike \u2013 complete primary school.\nBut this success seems to be falling apart amid a very high number of dropouts and poor-quality schooling for some of those who complete primary school.\nThe UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) has estimated that 68% of children in Uganda who enrol in primary school are likely to drop out before finishing the prescribed seven years.\nChad has the highest dropout rate in sub-Saharan Africa, at 72%. In east Africa, Kenya has the highest completion rateof 84%.\nAt a cabinet ministers\u2019 retreat last month, Uganda\u2019s President Yoweri Museveni expressed his rage over the rate at which pupils were leaving school, even when the country spent 900bn Ugandan shillings ($302m; $201m) annually on the scheme. He said: \u201cWe should get an answer, and if you think it [UPE] needs to be restructured, we do that.\u201d\nThe scheme faces a myriad of issues: gender challenges, child labour, early marriages, less motivated teachers, and lack of awareness among parents. However, the biggest challenge is poverty.\nDr Nicholas Itaaga, a UPE expert and a lecturerat Makerere University\u2019s School of Education, says poorer parents still struggle to meet requirements for school. \u201cUPE was a good development for any government to implement. Our problem in Uganda [is that] it was not adequately planned. We are losing out.\u201d\nThe major setback for UPE is that it is not entirely free, contrary to the general perception that parents are not supposed to pay for anything.\nFor poorer parents, especially in rural Uganda, the cost of pens, exercise books and clothing is beyond their reach\nIn practice they still have to buy scholastic materials including pens, exercise books, clothing and even bricks for classroom construction. They also have to provide or buy lunch for their children. For poorer parents, especially in rural Uganda, who live on about $1 a day, the cost is beyond reach.\nCharles Mugerwa is the father of an 11-year-old boy in Kasenyi village, Kalangala district, in central Uganda. On a school day, his son is at home. Asked why, Mugerwa said: \u201cHe has no uniform.\u201d\nThe poorer regions \u2013 northern and eastern Uganda \u2013 experience higher dropout rates. Western and central regions are regarded as better off.\nGovernment figures indicate poverty levels have declined in Uganda, from 24.5% in 2009-10 to 19.7% in 20012-13.\n\u201cDo not expect a pupil who comes to school and there is no hope for a lunch[time] meal to stay in school,\u201d Guloba says.\nSome schools now ask parents to pay between $2 and $5 a pupil for every three-month term so that they can prepare lunch for them. But some parents still cannot afford to pay, and their children end up dropping out.\nFour brothers watch over the family\u2019s cattle in Obolokome village, Agago district, Uganda. All of them missed school because of the chore. Photograph: Ric Francis/Zuma/Alamy\n\u201cI have been to the deep rural areas and a simple thing such as an exercise book or sanitary pads for the girls is a very big issue,\u201d Itaaga says.\nAn estimated 30% of girls leave school when they start their periods, often because of a lack of sanitary pads.\nAt Katwe, the school steps in for parents and buys pads for the pupils. \u201cI actually have big girls here. The school provides some money to buy sanitary pads. The senior woman talks to them and they are comfortable,\u201d Guloba says. \u201cWe are able to keep them in class\u201d.\nBut not all girls have that chance so they end up dropping out, deterred by inadequate facilities, particularly the lack of privacy when boys and girls share latrines.\nFagil Mandy, former chairman of Uganda\u2019s National Examinations Board, feels that the critical role schools can play is insufficiently acknowledged and evaluated. \u201cThe school as an institution has not been focused on by any major authority. It is a life-nurturing place, and should be overseen and monitored all the time,\u201d Mandy says.\nGovernment statistics show that for every 71 pupils there is one latrine. NGOs and bodies including the World Bank have funded the construction of classrooms and toilets for some schools, but much more help is needed to provide adequate facilities for the huge numbers of pupils involved.\nMillennium development goal 2: 15 achievements on education\nThe education minister, Jessica Alupo, says the high dropout rate is a great concern for the government: \u201cWe want to know why all parents send a child to school when they are in primary one and the numbers decrease as they ascend to upper classes. We want to engage them [parents] much more than before.\u201d\nMargaret Rwabushaija, chair of Uganda\u2019s National Teachers\u2019 Union, says the government must increase funding to schools. Since 1997, she says, it has not revised the amount of money it pays to educate a child annually, which stands at 7,560 shillings. \u201cHow do you expect headteachers to run schools without money?\u201d she asks.\nAnother major issue has been quality of teaching. A 2012 study found that three out of 10 pupils in primary three could read and comprehend a primary two-level story. At primary seven, the final class in the primary cycle, two out of 10 pupils could not read a primary two-level story. This has created a huge knowledge gap between children of the \u201chaves\u201d, studying in private schools, and the \u201chave-nots\u201d, in government schools.\nBetty Bitainensha, deputy head teacher at government-aided Kitante primary school in Kampala, says public schools often have the best-trained teachers, but they are less motivated to work. Teachers are among the lowest paid public servants in Uganda. The government has pledged to increase teachers\u2019 salaries in the 2015-16 financial year.\nAlupo says she is optimistic about the future, but only if they can focus on the key obstacles: \u201cAre teachers at school at all times? Are they are motivated to teach? Is the environment conducive for the learners? And finally is there a special programme to talk to parents about their role and obligation?\u201d",

        "title": "The Top 10 Horror Films of the '80s ~ Words From the Master",
        "raw_content": "The 80s were a huge time for horror. The success of the Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street franchises saw an almost never ending batch of slasher films get released. Meanwhile, the birth of the VCR allowed more movies than ever to be accessible to viewers, many due to their graphic content could never play in theaters, expect for the most limited of releases, if it all. It also presented the genre with shit loads of controversy, as movies like I Spit on Your Grave, Maniac, Faces of Death, Silent Night, Deadly Night, etc spawned protests, outrage, and anger from critics, feminist group, and the right wing. Whatever the case maybe this is the era that sealed me as a horror fan for life, as by 1987, I was renting horror movies nonstop and reading Fangoria and Gorezone magazines.\n10. - This is the greatest zombie film that is not Re-Animator or made by George Romero. Fulci's atmospheric mix of the supernatural and zombie films is his masterpiece. The gore set pieces are astounding, not the least of which is the little girl who gets the top of her head blown off. It also features two great leads in the beautiful Catorina MacCall and David Warbeck. Awesome stuff.\n9. - This is the thinking man's zombie film, as Romero takes on the military and man being it's own worst enemy. The dialogue between the characters is classic. Rhodes (Joe Pilato) is a great villain, and, perhaps, worse than the zombies. He and his cronies' sexist words to Lori Caridelli's character (along with all the goings on in the movie) help seal this as the darkest entry in the series. But, beyond all of that DOTD also features THE best gore in Romero's movies, zombie or not. Savini's work is at top form, and the climax is completely and utterly jaw dropping. While, this film was dismissed upon it's initial release; it is now considered a classic. I have to say that I always liked this movie, and it has only gotten better with time. Oh, and Bub rules!\n8. - While, this movie feels more like a remake of Sam Raimi's classic The Evil Dead, Raimi swears that it is a sequel, it's just Ash is so stupid he does the same exact thing twice (at least that is Raimi's explanation)! Regardless of what it is, Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn manages to top the amazing original. The mix of over-the-top gore and humor makes it one of the best \"splatstick\" films ever. It also insured that star Bruce Campbell would become a cult fav. Gotta love the whole, possessed chick gets her head stomped on, then has her eye sent flying into a pretty girl's screaming mouth! And, there is no denying the amazing camera work that Raimi incorporates in it. Regardless of one's feelings about crap like Spider-Man 3, Raimi will always be the guy who made the Evil Dead films!\n7. - Cronenberg's biggest mainstream hit (up to this point) remains his best film, I think. The acting, writing, score, gore, heart, and amazing FX make this one perfect, in my book.\n6. - Joe Dante's masterpiece is the single greatest werewolf film ever. Sure it spawned horrid sequels, but fuck e'm. Let's concentrate on this classic. The cast is amazing, as is Bottin's FX work. The first transformation scene is one of the finest moments in the genre. The love for the genre just drips from this movie. There are so many nods, winks, and tributes to the horror film, that it only makes it better in each viewing. And, what about the scene where the lovely Elizabeth Brooks gets it on with Christopher Stone and wolfs out? Or what about the classic ending? Or... well you get the idea!\n5. - Sean Cunningham's classic may have gotten ripped by critics upon it's release, but the movie went on to make a shitload of money and spawn a total of ten sequels! It introduced horror villain, Jason Voorhees (but only as the freaky mongoloid in the water), and along with Carpenter's Halloween helped define the slasher film, i.e. they were ripped off a million times. But, the fact is this classic works where it others fail, because the characters are likable and well written. Also, the movie builds the suspense all the way till the exciting and violent climax. But, of course it is impossible to talk about this film and not mention Savini's astounding FX work. The gore, even though cut to get an R (by the way, fans rejoice, the movie is, along with the first two sequels coming uncut, finally, to DVD in February), is hard stuff, with the pretty girl getting the ax to her face, Jason's mommy losing her head in slo-mo, and most classic of all, Kevin Bacon getting an arrow through his neck, all shining as great moments in slasherdom.\n4. - British writer Clive Barker had already made a name for himself with his sexually and violently explicit works of fiction, like his seminal Books of Blood, when he made the jump to write and direct this adaption of his novella The Hellbound Heart. One of the most exhilarating debuts by a director since The Evil Dead or Re-Animator, Hellraiser was gorgeous to look at and highly original in a genre where ripping off Friday the 13th, Gremlins, Jaws, etc was the norm. It gave us a new villain in Pinhead and the Cenobites, and featured some great acting from the cast, was sexy thanks to villainess Claire Higgins, gave us a horror goddess in the stunning Ashley Lawrence, and awashed in gore. The S&M images of the leather clad Cenobites and the whole hell is where pain and pleasure meet set it light years ahead of it's competition. The ending with villain Frank saying \"Jesus wept\", right before getting ripped apart by the hellish hooks is a classic horror moment.\n3. - With slasher films already filled with Halloween and Friday the 13th wanna-bes, Wes Craven's defining masterpiece breathed new life into the slasher film. Surreal and scary Craven made the most of the low budget story of child-murderer Freddy Kruger who returns from the grave. The whole fact that he then invades teen's dreams, and if you die there you die in real life was wonderfully original. Freddy would go to become the single most popular horror villain of the era, followed very closely by Jason and Michael, but whereas the sequels, injected more humor in the films, the original has but a few one liners from Kruger. Mostly he is kept dark and scary. The FX work is stunning, moreso when one thinks of how little the film cost. Johnny Depp's classic death, where his bed shoots gallons of blood is yet, another defining moment in the genre. And, beyond of all that one of the genre's greatest, and prettiest, heroines was introduced in Nancy (Heather Langenkamp). In all one of the finest horror films, ever made.\n2. - James Cameron had a tough job in front of him. He had to make a sequel to one of the most famous, influential, and downright scary sci-fi/ horror films ever made. But guess what? He succeed! Not only that but he totally blew away the original classic. Stan Winston's godlike work on the FX ranks as the best, EVER. The Alien Queen is one of the greatest monsters in film history. The pacing is adrenalinized and rip roaring, and the movie perfectly mixes action, science fiction, and horror. But, while it is a very gung-ho and exciting film; it also has a lot of heart. At, it's core is the story of this woman, left without a child, who now has this little girl she has to care for. It succeeds it making you care and does not turn into some wimpy mush. Of course, the movie does not forget nor abandon the horror genre. Witness the nail bitingly intense scene of Ripley (Sigorney Weaver) and Newt trapped in the room with the facehuggers, or absolutely amazing splatter moment, where good android Bishop (Lance Henrikson) gets ripped in half by the Queen (after impaling him in her tail) spraying white, milky robo-blood everywhere.\n1. - This my absolute favorite film ever. I have been in love with this film since I saw it at about twelve years of age. Every single thing about this film is perfect. The characters are played by great actors, with Jeffery Combs and David Gale giving amazing performances. The script is fun, whitty, and funny, and very over-the-top. Babara Crampton, as Megan, is one of the most beautiful women to ever grace our beloved genre. Her scene where Dr. Hill (Gale) gives her head, with his decapitated head is truly one of horror's greatest and most infamous scenes. Despite the very low budget, the gore and zombie FX are fucking flawless. Stuart Gordon's debut adaption of H.P. Lovecraft short story is truly one of the most fucking kick ass movies ever made. Watch it, if you never have. Watch it again if you have!\n1980s, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Aliens, Day of the Dead, Friday the 13th, Hellraiser, horror, horror films, Re-Animator, The Beyond, The Fly, The Howling, Top 10 Lists Edit\nSome how I figured Re-Animator would be Number 1 on your list.

        "raw_content": "Jungle Rot- What Horrors Await (Reissue) (Album Review)\nMusicians: Jungle Rot\nAlbum Title: What Horrors Await\nRelease date: Jan. 19, 2018 (digital download), April 6, 2018 (CD with vinyl release later in April)\nWhat Horrors Await is the sixth studio release by death metal band Jungle Rot and has long been very hard to find. Thankfully, though Victory Records have just released a reissue of this much sought after and blistering release.\nOriginally released in 2009, this is Jungle Rot at its fucking best. Fast and driving this fucker will get you going and pumped up. But, the album was a one time deal with a different label and never made it to the US, being sold only in Europe. Hence, fans here have been dying to own it ever since.\nYour Jungle Rot, and death metal collection in general, will not be complete unless you add this classic to it. And, now is your chance is to do so. Every song on here has is great. They all have a kick ass and pounding in your face death metal grove and are filled with anger and ferocity.\nIt opens with the fast and pulverizing \"Worst Case Scenario\". The driving \"Unstoppable\" is the perfect name for this juggernaut of a song. The wicked speed of the blast beat and shredding guitar filled \"Straighjacket Life\" will beat you into a bloody pulp. \"End of an Age\" comes at you like a tank mowing everything in site with furious drums and a groove that truly fucking kills! Speaking of groove, it is in full swing in what might be my favorite track, the thundering \"Speak the Truth\". The title track is a face smashing ass kicker from hell. I could really go on and on, as I said every track is a barn burner, including a fucking awesome and shredding cover of German thrash metal masters Destruction classic \"Invisible Force\".\nThis reissue has excellent production. It sounds thick, clear, and deep with a truly crushing sound all around. It is complemented by the classic artwork by Gyula Havancsak, who would go on to work on the next three albums by the band. This one is cool and badass as fuck, as his art for the band tends to be.\nA rollicking slab of groovy death metal, Jungle Rot's What Horrors Await can finally be owned by US fans of the band. It already hit digital download and will hit CD on April 6, to be followed by a LP release later that same month.\nalbum reviews, Death Metal, Jungle Rot, metal, music, Reissue, Victory Records, vinyl reissue, What Horrors Await Edit",

CASA volunteers are highly trained, committed individuals who are advocates for children who are victims of abuse and neglect.\nOur appreciation extends to The Ballroom Company in Maumee and instructors, Nicole Nieves, Kristin Rummell, Dave Ludlow, Andrea Rupley, Tom Williams, and the owner of The Ballroom Company, Gil Aromas. Each was paired with celebrity dancers Jay Cullen; Tony Taylor; Christina Shoemaker; Chris Liebold; Lisa Shuey, and Kelly Beeker.\nThis year, Tony Taylor was the People\u2019s Choice winner, gathering more than 1,951 votes, both in dollars and seat credits. The Judge\u2019s Choice went to Kelly Beeker and her instructor, Gil Aromas. Jay Cullen was awarded CASA\u2019s Biggest Supporter honor. Congratulations to all our winners and participants!\nThe evening\u2019s entertainment was assisted by judges Markus Finley, Jennifer Szymanowski, and Rebecca Huffman, and emcees Jill Simpson and Ryan Zimmerman.\nWe also want to thank sponsors and donors Croghan Colonial Bank; Crown Battery; Eye Centers of Northwest Ohio; Jazzercise; Manbeck, Caputo, & Pifer Financial Services; StyleCrest; ProMedica Memorial Hospital; Sandusky County Juvenile Court; Automatic Fire Protection; North Coast Sealing INC; Terra State Community College; and Whirlpool Corp.\nAdditional supporters included Shayla Lauren Photography; Don Rawlins; Everyday Productions; Ole Zim\u2019s Wagon Shed; The Cookie Lady; and It\u2019s Just a Cookie.\nEvents such as this, in addition to raising funds for our nonprofit program, are instrumental in raising awareness of child abuse and neglect in our community.\nCASA of Seneca, Sandusky and Wyandot Counties\nZimmerman is a leader with integrity\nA vote for Russ Zimmerman in the May 8 primary is a vote for the future of Sandusky County. Russ is a leader of the utmost integrity and I believe he will bring that to the position of Sandusky County commissioner.\nI have known Russ my entire life through church and the local community. In 34 years I have never heard a negative word spoken about Russ, nor have I ever heard him utter a negative comment about others. This is a statement I can say about very few people.\nAfter retiring from his career at Romanoff Electric as executive vice president, Russ had expressed a desire to get more involved with the community. He has always been active in the local Lindsey community.\nRuss has been a leader in our church for many years, and always has the best interest of the congregation in mind for whatever the role he is fulfilling. He is always there to lend the hand when needed, for church projects and community events. In addition, he is also the fire chief for the Lindsey Volunteer Fire Department, leading the communities' first responders.\nI believe Russ can use his years of varied leadership experiences to help Sandusky County grow and prosper. Over the years of knowing Russ, I have never heard him declare something is impossible or unachieveable. If he can't figure out a way to make something possible, he will enlist expertise who can help make it happen. He takes a practical, common sense approach to solving problems, so they are no longer an issue.\nTom Hetrick\nSupport community by voting for school levy\nDon and I will be voting \"yes\" for the Fremont Schools Income Tax Renewal. It will not increase taxes. This is because the school district has been able to manage its costs and continue on a fiscally responsible path since the levy's original passage. The amount raised is 19 percent of the district\u2019s revenue and that\u2019s a significant part of the overall operations budget.\nBeing retired, we look carefully at how our money is being spent. Supporting our schools is supporting our community, our neighbors. It is about caring for their children the same way our children were served by our retired neighbors, a shared responsibility.\nA quality education opens doors for the future. The children of Fremont deserve every opportunity to pursue a career path that is right for them, and to have the educational foundation to make success possible. We can help to make that happen by voting yes for the renewal.\nDon and Kathleen Nalley\nZimmerman has knowledge and experience\nRuss Zimmerman is the candidate I am pleased to endorse for Sandusky County Commissioner. A lifelong resident of the county, he and his wife Ruth raised their children here and have actively participated in local events and organizations supporting the community.\nRuss believes representing the citizens of Sandusky County as an elected official offers a great opportunity to impact the future of our county. The obstacle that forced him to drop out of the commissioner race in 2016 has been removed so now is the right time for him to re-enter his pursuit to be elected county commissioner.\nRuss excelled in his occupational pathway as an electrician and advanced to become vice president of Romanoff Electric in Toledo. The knowledge and experience gained throughout his career will serve our county well when you elect him to be a member of the board of county commissioners.\nRuss invested much time serving on volunteer boards and committees both locally and in the Toledo community. One example of his dedication to serve is the fifty years of membership on the Lindsey Volunteer Fire Department where he recently has been named Chief.\nI have had the pleasure of growing up with Russ from elementary school through high school. I have seen him effectively engage with small children, youth and adults in our church and community.\nI have observed him participate in and lead meetings that have resulted in positive results. My observation would be that when Russ takes on a challenge he does it for the right reason and he approaches it with an attitude to solve the issue at hand without creating a lot of unintended consequences. Please join me in voting for Russ Zimmerman in the May 8 Republican primary election.\nDaryl L. Knipp\nNo doubt about Zimmerman\nI have known Russ Zimmerman and his family very well for over 40 years in both professional and personal settings. Russ has consistently impressed me as an intelligent and caring manager while functioning as a decision maker who takes responsibility very seriously. There is no doubt that Sandusky County will be well served by his leadership as a Commissioner.\nI urge everyone to vote for Russ Zimmerman for Sandusky County Commissioner.\nDan Henery\nZimmerman is more than qualified\nI have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Zimmerman for many years, beginning when I was in high school. He guided me toward a great career choice that has become my passion and took me under his wing, just as I feel he will do for Sandusky County as commissioner.\nRuss knows what it takes to get any job done in a timely manner while continuing to be most beneficial for everyone and keep it under budget. He strives to take in all opinions, giving everyone a voice prior to making decisions as a leader. Russ is also a volunteer firefighter. His role as such strengthens his ability to take control of a situation and make sure everyone gets done what they need to, providing assistance when necessary.\nHe looks to educate as many people as he can and this I know from recently taking a foremanship class along with Russ. He took in all the class had to offer and analyzed how it could be put into the electrical JATC (Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee) curriculum to better prepare the students in their future endeavors. Russ is more than qualified to be a part of such a dynamic team to make the county even better than what it is now. I put my full trust and faith into Mr. Zimmerman as should many others this election.\nIBEW Local 8 Brother\nCounty Resident 24 Years\nTerra State board needs to find out the truth\nA board member\u2019s central purpose is to ensure that the organization\u2019s resources are used to achieve its purposes. This includes the duties of care, loyalty and obedience.\nDuty of care: A trustee has a responsibility to participate in decisionmaking on behalf of the organization, and must exercise independent judgment while doing so. These decisions must be informed, meaning that the board member should make efforts to become familiar with the relevant, available facts. For example, members should require management to provide sufficient information to make an independent decision. If board members find that the information is invalid or incomplete, they are expected to ask questions about it.\nDuty of loyalty: When acting on behalf of an organization, board members must set aside their own interests, whether professional or personal, or the interests of any other organization.\nDuty of obedience: Board members have a responsibility to be faithful to the organization\u2019s stated mission and not to act or use its resources in incompatible ways or purposes.\nIf a board member breaches any of these duties or otherwise harms the nonprofit organization or its stakeholders, he or she may be personally liable for failing to comply.\nNow, while Terra State Community College is not one of the nation\u2019s major universities, it is a very important part of our community and valued by many. Lately, one negative incident and comment has been made \u2014 one after another \u2014 and yet, what is the Board of Trustees doing to address these problems and concerns?\nMany questions need to be asked and answered, but to get the truth, the board needs to ask the current and past employees, students, and community members. It is the only way to get to the truth.\nDonald R. Stull\nRead or Share this story: https://ohne.ws/2qqBBXG",

        "raw_content": "Let's Talk About Emotions\nEw, right? Well, I don't mean the touchy-feely kind, I mean the general sense of the word.\nCeline McMonigal\nCeline McMonigal Oct 25, 2018\nThere's a lot going on in my life. In fact, I'm sure there's a lot going on in your life as well. You may even be ignoring some of those things right this very second as you read my article\u2014in which case, thanks for stopping by! But if college has taught me anything (it's taught me many things, but this one is important) it's how to prioritize. Prioritizing goes right along with time management and that sort of thing, but what I'm specifically talking about in this article is prioritizing and choosing what to do with your emotions.\nSome people have many emotions, some people have few, and some people seem to have an adequate amount. But one thing is the same among all people: we all have a certain emotional capacity that we cannot overload or we will have a mental breakdown. I'm sure you've all experienced this at one point or another, especially being in college, but what if I told you that there was a way you could have fewer mental breakdowns?\n\"But Celine, we don't get to choose how we feel...\"\nOh, really? That's where you're wrong. You are completely in control of your emotions, how you feel, and how you let others \"make\" you feel. With knowledge comes power, so with the power to control your own emotions you can basically keep tabs on your emotional capacity and do your best to keep it below the boiling point. I know it's hard to control how you feel, so you should allow yourself to feel whatever you feel whenever you feel it, but be willing to let things go if they are harmful or unnecessary.\nLetting go is hard, and sometimes it feels like we are giving up, but your well being should come before your pride EVERY TIME! Let me give you an example:\nOnce I had plans to get dinner with a friend of mine after I got off work. As soon as my shift ended, I went over to the restaurant, got a table, and waited. I told the waiter I wouldn't order until she arrived so I just sat at the table alone for a good half hour. My phone died and I wasn't able to contact her so I used a coworkers phone to call her and it went straight to voicemail\u2014her phone was dead too. After about an hour of waiting, I'd lost faith and ordered my food to go. As soon as I paid for my food and was walking out, she breathlessly came running through the door. She, almost tearfully, explained to me that she took a nap, but set an alarm to wake herself up in time for dinner\u2014however, her phone died so her alarm didn't go off.\nIf this were a movie, I would've been mad and it would've tested our friendship in some incredibly dramatic way. But, to be quite honest, I didn't want that unnecessary anger. Even though I could've been mad, there was no reason to be because what happened wasn't her fault and she had no malicious intent. So I made the choice not to be angry, and my emotional capacity still had plenty of room for emotions that were necessary.\nI'm not trying to downplay anyone's feelings, if you feel something then it is a valid feeling, but that doesn't mean it is something you need to feel. Being angry at my friend for something out of her control was completely pointless so, even though I was angry at first when she stood me up, I quickly let that needless emotion go when she explained the situation.\nAlong with deciding what emotions are not important, you must be able to discern which are. Feelings you have to really think about typically include anger, sadness, and everything related (always let yourself feel whatever happiness comes into your life\u2014you deserve it). You should allow yourself to feel sad for a healthy amount of time, but you still need to know when to let that sadness go\u2014you need to let it go when it is no longer useful or necessary. You cannot grow from sadness or anger, only from how you overcame the situations that caused those emotions.\nIf you pay attention to nothing else in this article, know this: your emotions are valid\nby taylorwhidden\nYou'll feel like they're gone too soon and wish you spent more time with them while you could.\nAubrey Muratorri\nAubrey Muratorri Feb 15, 2019\nLosing a loved one is never easy, it's probably one of the hardest things we go through in our lives. There's nothing like losing someone you love after they pass and it changes you forever.\nYou may feel so many mixed emotions when it happens, that's really normal to have the ups and downs during grief. You'll feel lost, broken, and so much more. You may wish you could've changed it before it got to that point. Maybe it even happened on a day where it's supposed to be special but now you dread that day every single year.\nYou'll feel like it's not fair. Maybe even think \"Why does this have to happen to me?\" You'll feel like they're gone too soon and wish you spent more time with them while you could. You'll wonder about the last words you said to them and maybe even wish you could take them back or wish you could have said goodbye. You'll wish for just one more hug or one more kiss before they left.\nYou'll wonder how God who is supposed to be so great can take someone so special and important away from you before anyone was ready to say goodbye. You won't believe it, not for a while. It won't seem real to you that they're actually gone. It'll be like a piece of your heart just got torn out and stomped on the ground. You may even feel empty inside for a while. You may even feel like you won't ever have that piece of your heart back again because that's their piece.\nThere will be days where you might not even think about it eventually, and there will be days where it's all you think about. There will be days that it's so hard for you that you won't even want to get out of bed because it hurts so bad. There will be days where you smile for everything.\nEventually, it does get better. As time goes on, the pain starts to hurt less and less. Their memory will always be with you and then they become your strength. You'll remember all the long talks to help you in your life, the talks about your future, the talks about just random things. You'll smile about all the memories, the trips, and vacations together, the holidays, everything.\nThese are the things that will help you get through the hard times. Just remembering the good times with them and doing everything possible to have them be proud of you while watching down on you.\nNothing compares to losing someone you love to soon. There may have been so many unfinished conversations that needed to happen or memories you should have made. But the important thing is to remember the good memories and just smile because they impacted your life so much. Time will heal all pain. Pain is temporary, but the memories last forever.\nYou Got Your Wings And We Got An Early Gravestone\nby Grace Wilkowski",

If we found ourselves hungry in the woods, we'd naturally want something to eat. In this day and age, that usually means grabbing some trail mix or a protein bar from our backpack. But in the days before agriculture and modern society, we had to depend on nature to provide us with food. Through experience and stories, we knew what was good to eat and what wasn\u2019t. Today, because we get our food from the supermarket, most of us have lost the ability of knowing what is safe to eat and what isn\u2019t. Unfortunately, the most poisonous fruits out there may look completely harmless. This is usually why so many people lose their lives from ingesting something that they thought was an apple. Until this information becomes common knowledge, remember to be vigilant and do your research before eating anything that you're not familiar with.",

        "title": "Harper's war on science continues with a vengeance | The Star",
        "raw_content": "Harper's war on science continues with a vengeance\nThis week, after another tumultuous summer of scandal and the third prorogation of his tenure as prime minister, Stephen Harper will deliver his throne speech to Parliament to be read by the Governor General. The advance word has it that the focus of the speech and the legislative agenda it ushers in will be the protection of consumers.\nThe choice of words is telling. This is a government interested mainly in what Canadians use and spend, and only passionate about those parts of Canada it can develop and sell off. It cares little about Canadians as citizens and even less about protecting Canada\u2019s shared public goods and standing on guard for its natural capital.\n(Raffi Anderian / Toronto Star)\nHarper\u2019s true agenda, pretty much all along, has been to dismantle the government\u2019s great traditions of natural science and environmental stewardship, which until recently made Canada a world leader in both fields. This is a government waging a quiet legislative and administrative war on science \u2014 especially those fields of science dedicated to gathering and analyzing data on the health of Canada\u2019s natural environment \u2014 and it has undone a century of good work with alarming efficiency since the passage of its sweeping omnibus budget bill in June 2012. Whatever is in this week\u2019s throne speech, that budget remains the government\u2019s most forceful statement of intent and clearest articulation of its overarching agenda.\nChristopher Plunkett, the government\u2019s U.S. spokesperson, explained the aim of the bill to the Washington Post at the time with refreshing candour. \u201cThe idea is simple and straightforward: to make Canada the most attractive country in the world for resource investment and development.\u201d\nPlunkett added that the bill would \u201cenhance our world-class protection of the environment today for future generations of Canadians.\u201d But this was rhetorical window-dressing, a bit of finery to provide the illusion of balance. And it was laughably transparent stuff at that, given that the government was in the process of slashing funding to numerous research facilities and programs, crippling many of the agencies responsible for monitoring environmental health and responding to environmental crisis, and rewriting the Fisheries Act so recklessly that four former Fisheries ministers (including two Tories) publicly campaigned against it.\nThe government\u2019s war on science was well underway by the time of the omnibus budget bill \u2014 the long-form census long gone, a crime bill passed with little recourse to the data gathered by criminologists, scientists publishing papers on environmental topics already being muzzled \u2014 but the bill was its full-scale launch. It has proceeded apace since \u2014 and inspired the unprecedented scene of lab-coated scientists marching through the streets of Canadian cities in protest from Ottawa to Victoria.\nSo what is the nature of this war on science? Above all else, it is a sustained campaign to diminish the government\u2019s role in evidence-based policy-making and environmental stewardship in three simple ways: reducing the capacity of the government to gather basic data about the status and health of the environment and Canadian society; shrinking or eliminating government agencies that monitor and analyze that evidence and respond to emergencies; and seizing control of the communications channels by which all of the above report their findings to the Canadian public.\nThe ultimate goal is equally clear: to induce in the federal government a sort of wilful blindness, severely limiting its ability to see and respond to the impacts of its policies, especially those related to resource extraction.\nDo No Science, Hear No Science, Speak No Science \u2014 this is the essence of the Harper agenda. And its list of alterations and diminutions is alarming in its length and breadth.\nThe long-form census has been scrapped, replaced by a voluntary \u201cNational Household Survey\u201d that spends more money to deliver substantially less reliable data. Canada has backed out of the Kyoto accord, opted out of the UN\u2019s Vienna Declaration on HIV/AIDS (which advocates for evidence-based drug policies), and distinguished itself as the only nation in the UN to drop out of the Convention to Combat Desertification.\nThe list of environmental science bodies and programs eliminated or reduced is alarmingly long in an age of mounting environmental catastrophe. The Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Science is gone, as is the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy. The Experimental Lakes Area \u2014 the world\u2019s leading freshwater research facility \u2014 was sent begging to the province of Ontario and a Winnipeg NGO. Omnibus budget cuts forced the summary abandonment of nearly 500 environmental impact assessments nationwide. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans\u2019 Habitat Management Program has been slashed back, and the DFO has shuttered seven of its 11 libraries. This is nowhere near a comprehensive list \u2014 more like the greatest budgetary hits.\nThe National Research Council, meanwhile, is undergoing radical restructuring, thus to become what its executive director, John McDougall, envisions as a \u201cconcierge\u201d service for industry. Gary Goodyear, until recently the minister of state for science and technology, described the goal of the new NRC with singular condescension and flailing grammar as \u201ca one-stop, 1-800 \u2018I have a solution for your business problem.\u2019\u201d\nThe list of discarded and shrunken agencies, programs and labs goes on and on. \u201cThe kindest thing I can say is that these people don\u2019t know enough about science to know the value of what they are cutting\u201d \u2014 this was how David Schindler, the Experimental Lakes Area\u2019s co-founder and one of the world\u2019s pre-eminent freshwater biologists, characterized the Harper agenda for the press as the omnibus budget bill was being passed.\nGovernments have waxed and waned in their enthusiasm for scientific research and environmental protection for as long as Canada has existed. But there has been general agreement at least since the establishment of the country\u2019s first meteorological research stations in the early 1900s that only the federal government has the stable funding and bureaucratic wherewithal to carry out long-term, comprehensive data gathering. Our weather reports originate with Environment Canada monitoring stations for a reason \u2014 because telling us the basic facts about the world around us is one of its essential functions.\nThe Harper agenda is an abdication of this duty. At a time when the volatile effects of climate change are already upon us and sure to worsen, the government has chosen to reduce our insight into the status of our bountiful swath of the planet.\nThe government has announced that it will spend $24 million to tout the oilsands around the world, adding to the $113-million-plus it has already spent embedding the phrase \u201cEconomic Action Plan\u201d in Canadian minds, and yet it can\u2019t find $2 million a year to tell us what all that action planning will do to our freshwater. The implicit wager is that if the message is repeated often enough and the paycheques remain robust enough, Canadians won\u2019t notice what they\u2019ve lost.\nIf the Harper agenda\u2019s wager succeeds, the result is a diminished Canada, afraid of open-ended questions and speculative science, addicted to a shallow and brittle prosperity, and far out of step with its traditional allies on the 21st century\u2019s defining issue of climate change.\nThe key message unstated in this week\u2019s throne speech is that Canadian citizens are willing to accept the diminished role of passive consumers and accept this narrow vision of their country in exchange for marginally smaller cellphone bills and a bill of rights to accompany their airplane tickets. The lab-coated scientists in the streets have already rejected this lousy bargain. They have taken to protest, against their every instinct as scientists, because whatever else, the government must not be allowed to mess with the basic facts.\nThey deserve our support, and we all deserve a more robust vision for this country.\nChris Turner is a Calgary-based journalist. His latest book, The War on Science: Muzzled Scientists and Willful Blindness in Stephen Harper's Canada, was released last week.",

        "raw_content": "Minimum Wage Increases in NY Since 1990\nGov. Andrew Cuomo says a minimum wage increase this year is not in the \"realm of possiblity.\" AP/Evan Agostini\nAlthough the New York State Assembly passed a bill that would raise the state minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50 on May 15, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says pushing the bill through the GOP-dominated Senate is not in the \u201crealm of possibility.\u201d Progressive organizations have condemned the governors inaction on a wage hike, and fiscal conservatives are defending his decision as supportive of the business community.\nMetroFocus looked at minimum wage increases since 1990 and changes in the poverty threshold to give you a better idea of where full-time, minimum-wage earners currently stand.\nYear New York Minimum Wage New York Minimum Wage Annual Salary Federal Poverty Line\n1990 $3.80 $7,904 $6,280\n2000 $5.15 $10,712 $8,350\n2007 $7.15 $14,872 $10,210\nThe table shows each year the minimum wage has been increased in New York State since 1990 and the correlating annual salary of 40 hours per week at minimum wage. The last column indicates what the federal poverty line was in a given year. MetroFocus/Kevon Greene\nAfter Cuomo announced that a minimum wage increase isn\u2019t viable this year, a number of liberal groups attempted to push the governor to change his mind, reported The New York Times.\nEveryday People: NYC\u2019s Minimum Wage Earners\nJob Growth Soars in NYC, but for Whom?\nSkyscrapers, Not Wages, Rise from Hudson Yards\nRussel Sykes, a senior fellow at the Empire Center for New York State Policy, told the Times that a minimum wage increase could disqualify many poor families from the Earned Income Tax Credit, and that the credit would be more beneficial than the wage jump.\nA day later, Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, responded in Business Insider:\n\u201cIt seems a bit strange to argue that low-income family is hurt by raising their income. (The EITC peaks at 45 percent, which means that in a worse case scenario a minimum wage worker would lose 45 cents from the EITC for every dollar increase in their wage income. Few workers would see this much of a loss.)\u201d\nMost New York State voters, 79 percent to be exact, are in favor of an $8.50 minimum wage, according to a recent Siena Research Poll. According to a report by the Economic Policy Institute, the minimum wage increase would directly affect 609,000 minimum wage workers and indirectly affect 473,000 workers, and raise the annual salary of an affected worker by $880 per year on average.\nAs The New York World pointed out, a list of powerful corporations, including Wal-Mart and Darden Restaurant Group, have lobbied around the minimum wage increase in New York State this year.\nMeanwhile, in New York City, the top one percent of earners made a third of the city\u2019s income in 2009, according to a new report by the Comptroller\u2019s office. The report\u2019s figures for 2009 \u2014 the last year the minimum wage was raised \u2014 shows that 1,278,646 income tax filers, or 36.6 percent of tax filers in New York City, earned $20,000 or less. This segment is the largest group of tax filers in New York City, and between 2000 and 2009, its percentage has fluctuated between 35 and 37.5 percent.\nTAGS: Andrew Cuomo, economy, ethnicity and race, government, labor, law, politics, Poverty\nPrevious Post Walk on the Wired Side: Office Spaces of the Tech Sector\nNext Post Third-Grader Wins Science Competition for Zero-Waste Packaging",

        "title": "Topic Areas of Environmental Sociology",
        "raw_content": "Understanding the Subfield of Environmental Sociology\nBen Osborne/Getty Images\nEnvironmental sociology is a subfield of the wider discipline in which researchers and theorists focus on the relationships between society and the environment. The subfield took shape following the environmental movement of the 1960s.\nWithin this subfield, sociologists might examine specific institutions and structures like law, politics, and economy, and their relationships to environmental conditions; and also on the relationship between group behavior and environmental conditions, like for example the environmental implications of waste disposal and recycling. Importantly, environmental sociologists also study how environmental conditions affect the everyday lives, economic livelihood, and public health of populations.\nEnvironmental Sociology Topic Areas\nClimate change is arguably the most important topic of research among environmental sociologists today. Sociologists investigate the human, economic, and political causes of climate change, and they investigate the effects that climate change has on many aspects of social life, like behavior, culture, values, and the economic health of populations experiencing its effects.\nCentral to the sociological approach to climate change is the study of the relationship between economy and environment. A key analytic focus within this subfield is the particular effects that a capitalist economy--one premised on continual growth--has on the environment. Environmental sociologists who study this relationship might focus on the implications of consumption of natural resources in processes of production, and methods of production and resource recapture that aim to be sustainable, among other things.\nThe relationship between energy and environment is another important topic among environmental sociologists today. This relationship is intimately connected to the first two listed, as the burning of fossil fuels to power industry is recognized by climate scientists to be the central driver of global warming, and thus climate change. Some environmental sociologists who focus on energy study the way different populations think about energy use and its implications, and how their behavior is connected to these ideas; and they might study the way energy policy shapes behavior and outcomes.\nPolitics, law, and public policy, and the relationships these have to environmental conditions and problems are also areas of focus among environmental sociologists. As institutions and structures that shape corporate and individual behavior, they have indirect effects on the environment. Sociologists who focus on these areas investigate topics like the extent to which and through what mechanisms laws regarding emissions and pollution are enforced; how people act collectively to shape them; and the forms of power that might enable or prevent them from doing so, among other things.\nMany environmental sociologists study the relationship between social behavior and environment. In this area there is a large degree of overlap between environmental sociology and the sociology of consumption, as many sociologists recognize the important and consequential relationships between consumerism and consumer behavior, and environmental problems and solutions. Environmental sociologists also examine how social behaviors, like the use of transportation, consumption of energy, and waste and recycling practices, shape environmental outcomes, as well as how environmental conditions shape social behavior.\nAnother important area of focus among environmental sociologists is the relationship between inequality and environment. Numerous studies have documented that income, racial, and gender inequality make the populations that experience them more likely to experience negative environmental outcomes like pollution, proximity to waste, and lack of access to natural resources.\nThe study of environmental racism is, in fact, a specific area of focus within environmental sociology. Environmental sociologists continue to study these relationships today, and the way populations and institutions respond to them, and they also examine them on a global scale, looking at the way populations among nations have differing relationships to the environment based on relative privilege and wealth.\nNotable Environmental Sociologists\nNotable environmental sociologists today include John Bellamy Foster, John Foran, Christine Shearer, Richard Widick, and Kari Marie Norgaard. The late Dr. William Freudenberg is considered an important pioneer in this subfield who made great contributions to it, and Indian scientists and activist Vandana Shiva is considered an honorary environmental sociologist by many.\nWhere to Find More Information on Environmental Sociology\nTo learn more about this vibrant and growing subfield of sociology, visit the website for the American Sociological Association's section on Environment and Technology, and review the research published in journals like Environmental Sociology, Human Ecology, Nature and Culture, Organization and Environment, Population and Environment, Rural Sociology, and Society and Natural Resources.\nStudents interested in pursuing environmental sociology will find many undergraduate programs with a focus in this area, as well as an increasing number of graduate sociology and interdisciplinary programs that offer specialized study and training.\nHow Sociologists Study Consumption\nWhat Is Marxist Sociology?\nA Brief Guide to the Sociology of Globalization\nInterested in Service?

It goes 0-100 Km/h in 2.5 seconds, and has theoretical top speed of 645 Km/h.\nby Anthony Kodack, on March 29, 2007, 12:00\nPowerful motorcycles could have their top speed capped to try to cut the number of riders killed in accidents, an influential group of MPs said Thursday.\nElectronic speed limiters, already fitted on some scooters and high-performance bikes, could be required by law if the government adopts the committee\u2019s ideas.\n\"Motorcycle accident rates are far too high. They have been for 10 years,\" the House of Commons\u2019 Transport Committee said in a report. \"It is time to consider radical action to tackle this problem.\"\nMany \"superbikes\" with large engines have devices that restrict top speeds to 186 mph (300 kph). The committee did not suggest a top speed limit.\nA total of 569 motorcyclists were killed and nearly 6,000 seriously injured in accidents on Britain\u2019s roads in 2005, according to Department for Transport figures.\nGiving evidence to the committee, transport author Stephen Plowden said he could not see why anyone needed a bike with a top speed of more than 65 mph.\nHowever, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) said it would be difficult to use the law to limit the power of motorcycles.\n\"I have a lot of sympathy with having a top limit on the speed and power of motorcycles and cars,\" said Kevin Clinton, RoSPA\u2019s head of road safety.\n\"Although when the EC ... proposed a 100 brake-horsepower limit on motorcycles, they were not able to get it through because they could not show any real reduction in risk from that.\"\nThe committee said the government should commission research on speed limiters to \"stimulate a sensible debate\" on the issue.\n\"A case was made to the committee for limiting the speed of the more powerful motorcycles, though some technical issues still need to be resolved,\" the committee said.\nThe committee said it appeared to be government policy to encourage greater use of motorcycles, despite concerns over safety and the environmental damage.\n\"This may be another argument in favor of reducing the maximum power and speed that is available on these vehicles,\" the committee reported.\nThe Motor Cycle Industry Association says road safety can be improved by better training, changing attitudes and improving roads rather than just focusing on speed. Technology that interferes with a rider\u2019s control could be dangerous, it says.\nThe Department for Transport had no immediate comment.\nIf I\u2019d live in London, this muscle bike wouldn\u2019t be of any use for me :((\nDodge Tomahawk.

In order to grow their market shares further, these players are the lucrative emerging economies\u2019 market in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and Latin America. Further, savvy manufacturers in the market are also seen focusing on improving their product offerings to meet the needs of both commercial and domestic segments.\nRising affluence of people worldwide and the considerable building construction activities is serving to up demand in the global fluorochemicals market. This is because they are helping to generate demand for refrigerants, which are mostly required in the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning) industry and the food and beverages industry. Fluorochemical products like hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) play an important role in the production of refrigerants.\nA report by Transparency Market Research predicts the global fluorochemicals market to rise at steady CAGR of 5.3% from 2017 to 2025. At this pace, it expects the market to attain a value of US$26.71 bn by 2025 from US$16.88 bn in 2016.\nFluorocarbons Acting as Refrigerants See Maximum Demand\nProducts purveyed in the global fluorochemicals market are fluorocarbons, fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, aluminium fluoride (AIF3), etc. Of them, the fluorocarbons, which are formed when fluorine is covalently bonded to carbon atoms in different number and configurations, account for maximum share in the market. The strength and stability of these covalent bonds impart unique properties to fluorocarbons that allows them to function as refrigerants, solvents, lubricants, propellants, and stain-repellent products.\nIn the years ahead too, the fluorocarbons are expected to see swift uptake on account of its use across applications like blowing agents, packaging, solvents, refrigerants, and aerosol propellants. The fluorocarbons can be further segmented into hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), etc. Of them, the HFCs hold the maximum share.\nDepending upon application again, the global fluorochemicals market can be divided into refrigerants, plastic foams, aluminium production, electricals and electronics, etc. Of them, the segment of refrigerants led with most of the share in the market in 2016. It was trailed by aluminium production.\nDeveloping Economies Propels Demand from Asia Pacific\nGeographically, the key segments of the global fluorochemicals market are North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. A cluster of developing economies driving up demand for fluorochemicals for use in different applications and industries has propelled the market in Asia Pacific to the fore. The region will likely outshine others in terms of growth by registering a CAGR of 6.4% in the forecast period, at the end of which its revenue is expected to grow to US$15.21 bn.\nNorth America and Europe are considered mature markets for fluorochemicals, which are projected to grow at a tepid CAGR of 3.8% each during the period between 2017 and 2025. Regulations across different industries and applications such as aluminium production, food and beverages, plastic foams, refrigerants, etc. have resulted in the growth in the market in the two regions so far.\nLatin America and the Middle East and Africa, on the other hand, account for a relatively smaller share in the global fluorochemicals market on account of the political instability in the regions hampering healthy economic growth.\nSome of the key players in the fluorochemicals market are DuPont Inc, Daikin, Solvay SA, Asahi Glass, Arkema, Honeywell, Dongyue, Pelchem, Mitsui Chemicals Inc., and Air Products and Chemicals Inc.\nGlobal Fluorochemicals Market: Overview\nThis report analyzes and forecasts the market for fluorochemicals at the global and regional level.

        "title": "DeVos Hampering States\u2019 Right To Stop Predatory Debt Collectors | TrigTent USA News",
        "raw_content": "DeVos Hampering States\u2019 Right To Stop Predatory Debt Collectors\nRepublican politicians love to tout the slogan of \u201cstates rights\u201d and the liberty that comes from federalism\u2026 until it happens to interfere with their corporate agenda. There\u2019s been no clearer hypocrite in this regard than reigning Education Secretary Betsy Devos, the Trump appointee who issued a new order to Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey and other US state officials who wish to take on the student debt industry: not if our big government has anything to say about it.\nAccording to leaked federal documents reviewed by Bloomberg, it was reported in late February that The Department of Education was seeking federal laws to be heavily applied that would prohibit state governments from regulating debt collection companies pertaining to student loans \u2014 a complete reversal from their 2016 proposal which would allow states to self-govern in regards to licensure and regulations.\nMick Mulvaney, the new chief of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, recently gave Bloomberg the expected response to any scandal from the Trump administration \u2014 bashing Former President Barack Obama. Chief Mulvaney told the reporter some oh-woe-is-me tale of how the Obama era oversight was \u201ctoo aggressive\u201d towards the debt companies such as Navient and Nelnet, affirming the comment lawyer Whitney Barkley-Denney also gave saying the department \u201cseems to have taken a position that servicers are more important to the department than borrowers trying to repay the loans.\u201d\nGenerally, the rule in American politics is when the federal government doesn\u2019t step in to tackle an issue, the states will decide the fate of their citizens \u2014 a standard practice often embraced by the right-wing from pre-civil war America and even to marijuana-strong California. The Trump administration, being the notable exception to Republican standards, has seen the department do away with this rule in favor of big government. Over the past few months, states that go beyond Illinois, California, and Connecticut revealed they would be enacting new state laws that would offer protections for their student-loan borrowers, the most notable case of debt protections being brought to the Massachusetts superior court in March.\nAccording to a report from Reuters, the state judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Healey against one of the largest student loan servicers in the country, Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistant Agency (better known as PHEAA or FedLoan Servicing).\nThe quasi-government institution has been accused of overcharging students and set the monthly payments so that they don\u2019t qualify for debt forgiveness. Healey, being a Democrat seeking to reign in predatory companies, said the ruling was \u201ca victory for the thousands of students and families in Massachusetts who have been victimized for far too long by student loan servicers.\u201d\nThis victory, of course, is being challenged by the curiously named Department of Justice under Attorney General Jeff Sessions \u2014 a man also known for tossing away the states rights argument for things such as a nation-wide ban on marijuana, regardless of it was passed for recreational and medical reasons in the states. This time they believe Healey isn\u2019t just wrong, but doesn\u2019t have the authority to sue. Officials for the Justice Department told The Boston Globe they are seeking to \u201cpreserve the important federal interests in cost-effectively and uniformly administering and streamlining the federal student loan programs\u201d \u2014 the companies currently managing up to $1.3 trillion in their student loans portfolio.\nHealey, ever the underdog, gave a statement to The Intercept showing she\u2019s unafraid of Secretary DeVos and the federal government\u2019s latest constraints:\n\u201cSecretary DeVos can write as many love letters to the loan servicing industry as she wants, I won\u2019t be shutting down my investigations or stand by while these companies rip off students and families.\nThe last thing we need is to give this industry a free pass while a million students a year are defaulting on federal loans.\u201d\nThis follows our November report in TrigTent highlighting DeVos\u2019 actions to end full debt-relief for students who had been defrauded by their universities. We argued this decision was most definitely swayed by her connections to the student debt industry, highlighted in the DeVos Family\u2019s financial records with the private investment and management firm, the RDV Corporation.\nThis firm had their own financial connection to LMF WF Portfolio, a debt collection company which oversaw the financing of a $147 million in loans, also doing business with the Department of Education under the name of Performant Financial Co. This company, which got 14 contracts from the department, also happened to have racked up a staggering 346 complaints for abusive conduct like calling debtors at work, calling family members of debtors at work, and potentially illegal behavior, detailed in the findings of The Better Business Bureau. One complaint came from a 90-year-old World War II vet harassed by the student debt company for \u201ca nonexistent student loan\u201d held with the disgraced bank Wells Fargo.\nUnder the current DeVos guidance, politicians with personal bias like Secretary DeVos would benefit from the handicapping of states\u2019 right to self-govern and investigate illegality. It definitely has the optics of corruption.\nIn a statement on behalf of The Consumer Federation of America, Christopher Peterson argued that lawmakers are within their rights to challenge corruption when they see it and ignore the federal Higher Education Act which doesn\u2019t override states\u2019 consumer protections \u2014 as California lawmakers intend to do. He concludes:\n\u201cNow the Trump Administration is attempting to trample states\u2019 authority and the best interests of student loan borrowers to pad the bottom line of debt collection businesses.\u201d",

        "title": "Babylon Rises By Philip Cottraux - UNSEALED - World News | Christian News | Prophecy Updates",
        "raw_content": "Babylon Rises By Philip Cottraux\nBabylon Rises\nBy Philip Cottraux\nI normally avoid controversial topics, preferring Bible teachings to divisive political issues. However, I have addressed gay marriage, church shootings and abortion, and now a particular firestorm has come against my state in recent weeks that I can no longer ignore. God is calling His people to take a stand.\nAs homosexual fascism has swept America into embracing immorality under the phony guise of \u201ccivil rights,\u201d ethical dilemmas have been created for local governments to deal with. North Carolina recently passed House Bill 2, which states that a transgendered person should use the restroom of their biological gender. The law is primarily designed to protect women and young girls from men in their bathrooms and locker rooms. After all, who would feel safe with their 11 year-old daughter alone in a public restroom with a 30 year-old man? The fact that he is dressed as a woman does not make the situation any less alarming.\nThe intention is not to discriminate, but with so-called gay rights subverting institutions across this country, counties and states are forced to confront issues they\u2019ve never had to face before. Laws are being passed to try to maintain boundaries and protect children from rape and molestation. But if you\u2019ve watched any news, HB2 is one of the most controversial laws of the decade, and all hell has come against my state. Hollywood is refusing to film movies here. The federal government has threatened to stop all funding. New York has discussed ending all transportation and major corporations won\u2019t do business in this state, costing thousands of jobs and billions in revenue.\nIronically, the same people who declared war on this state supported lifting the embargoes on Cuba and Iran, two countries where homosexuality is a crime and gays are regularly imprisoned, tortured and executed in grisly manners. But North Carolinians are \u201cbigots\u201d for trying to keep men out of ladies rooms.\nEven the president has recently weighed in, issuing a \u201cdecree\u201d ordering all North Carolinian schools to allow transgendered students to use any bathroom they want, \u201cor else.\u201d This gross overreach of power is symptomatic of the explosive, violent hatred towards anyone who dares go against the perverted worldview of homofascism. Those who stand up for traditional values will be punished, and refusal to comply will not be tolerated.\nKing Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon demanded that all people in the kingdom bow to his image, or risk being thrown into a fiery furnace. But three men insisted on worshiping only the one true God. While all the people fell on their knees when they heard the music echo through the city, these three stood alone in defiance. No doubt some looked up and muttered \u201cWhat are you doing? Just do what the king says and live!\u201d\nSo far, despite the earthly kingdoms surrounding this state in an abominable siege, we have not bowed. HB2 remains the law. The children are safe.\nBabylon was the capitol city of wickedness, founded on moral depravity and built in defiance of God. The origins of all idol worship in the world and every evil work of the flesh can be traced back to Babylon. Homosexuality and transgenderism are no exceptions.\nOne of the reasons why our enemies continue winning is because they have defined the language. They have put words in our mouths, accusing us of \u201cbigotry\u201d and claiming that our opposition to transgenders in bathrooms is due to personal hatred. They recklessly use the word \u201cdiscrimination,\u201d creating a false reality where there can be no resistance to the homosexualization of society. In their perverse utopia, this equates to the civil rights movement, and they constantly fall back on that comparison to try to crush all opposition. We lose because we cringe at being called names and fall like we have been shot.\nBut the so-called \u201cgay rights\u201d movement has nothing to do with freedom; it is fascism at its finest.\nMartin Luther King Jr\u2019s brave fight to win equal treatment for blacks wasn\u2019t about power or crushing an enemy. It wasn\u2019t about using the force of government to punish dissenters. It was about changing the hearts and minds of people for a better society. Blacks in this country were treated horribly, being denied the right to vote and forced to go to inferior schools and use separate bathrooms. The horrors of the Jim Crowe laws do not compare to men dressed up as women being kept out of the ladies room, and to even suggest so is to diminish the suffering endured by blacks in this country.\nThe civil rights movement was about courage. \u201cGay rights\u201d advocates are cowards who want to punish anyone who opposes their lifestyle. Leaving them alone is not good enough; they will force you to accept them. No matter how much we give them, they are never happy, because their feet are planted on the foundations of hate and anger. Their sense of revenge, of righting a perceived wrong, is demonic in nature and can\u2019t be satisfied. That\u2019s why they weren\u2019t content with legalized marriage, and won\u2019t be content with transgendered bathrooms. They will never be satisfied, even if they have murdered us all, raped our children and burned our Bibles to ashes.\nThe ancient Babylonians worshiped Innana, the goddess of love and fertility. The priests in her temple were the first known transgenders, usually men who had been castrated and were considered to be a \u201cthird gender;\u201d neither male nor female. Called galas, a word that literally translates to \u201cpenis anus,\u201d these androgynous priests sang high-pitched \u201clamentations,\u201d described as soothing yet perverted choruses to their false goddess. *\nThe eerie songs of these she males haunted the streets of Babylon. The culture was so wicked and perverse, the nature of biology had been subverted and depravity saturated daily life. They were used to living with it. America will soon become this city; homosexuality is done infiltrating our culture and now the siren calls of transgenderism will fill our cities until we are no longer alarmed by it.\nBut they weren\u2019t content to stay in Babylon.\nNow in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem, And burned the house of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire: (Jeremiah 52:12-13). The Babylonians, pioneers of transgender rights, eventually came for the Jews, those self-righteous bigots who had the audacity to believe in a God who called homosexuality a sin and the effete unrighteous. And they broke down Jerusalem\u2019s walls, burned its temple and enslaved its people.\nToday, the depraved armies have North Carolina surrounded and under siege. And don\u2019t think that when they are done brutalizing us into submission that they won\u2019t come for every church, in every state.\nThey mock our trust in a God we can\u2019t see. But this is a play that has been played out for thousands of years. Nebuchadnezzar built what he thought was a monument that would last forever. But three men knew that kingdoms fall and golden images are lost in the sands of time, and only God is eternal. When the earth has faded, the stars are turned to blackness and empires have collapsed, His Word still endures. While everyone else surrenders to what the king says, they look at us with incredulity as we stand defiant. They can\u2019t understand why we wouldn\u2019t want what the world is offering. They can\u2019t fathom that we refuse to surrender our foolish beliefs and take part in their multicultural empire. But like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, we sense that there is something rotten in the heart of this kingdom.\nThe Babylonians were notorious for sacrificing their own children to idol gods. The Lord warned His people to never take part in this horrible practice. Leviticus 18:21: And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. Molech was a golden calf worshiped by the Ammonites; the Babylonian version was Marduk, also known as Baal. Ancient Babylonian art shows children being butchered before this false god. Imagine the innocents of Babylon being dragged screaming into the temples by transgendered gala priests, who smile wickedly through their lipstick and mascara as they hold them down to slaughter them on the altars of death.\nThe stage is being set today; Babylon is returning and nothing has changed. The androgynous people smile under their fake wigs and dresses as they usher our children into bathrooms. The stalls are the temples to Baal and the toilets are the despicable altars where they hold them down. Our children scream in terror; but we are locked outside, labeled as \u201cbigots\u201d for wanting to kick in the door and save them.\nIt is breaking America into chaos. We oppose allowing men into ladies rooms because it sets a precedent that removes all societal barriers. We are desperately trying to maintain control in a society that is crumbling all around us. If a man simply claims that he \u201cidentifies\u201d as a woman, how do we know he\u2019s telling the truth? Does he have to be dressed up as one? At what precedent do we deny him access to the ladies room? Under the insane rationale of the activists, we simply have to take his word for it.\nOut of the ruins of a once great civilization, Babylon is reemerging. It will be rebuilt as the empire of the antichrist. But it doesn\u2019t have to be a literal city; its spirit is alive and well, consuming America. John saw it as a great whore riding the back of the beast.\nBut God let us know what her fate will be.\nAfter the 7 years of Tribulation and Armageddon, Jesus will set up New Jerusalem and we will rule with Him for a thousand years. There will be only peace on Earth during this time and no death. He will be the light for this world: And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: (Revelation 22:5). However, even during the Millennial Reign, there will still be one place on the earth where there will be absolute darkness and the light of Jesus will never shine.\nThe burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see (Isaiah 13:1). During Armageddon, Babylon will be destroyed so thoroughly that the fire burning the ruins of the city will remain unquenched for the thousand years; absolute darkness will cover this literal hell on earth.\nIsaiah 13:19: And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. God promises that the destruction brought against Babylon will be as terrible as Sodom; fire and brimstone will consume it and no living thing, man or beast, will live there. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there (verse 20). Yet there will still be inhabitants in this hell: But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there (verse 21). The word for \u201cwild beasts\u201d in Hebrew is \u201clilit,\u201d which translates to \u201cnight demon.\u201d These creatures are not actual animals, but demons dwelling in the darkness. \u201cSatyr\u201d refers to a mythical devil with a goat head; interestingly enough, the Baphomet, a disturbing illustration of Satan, has a goat\u2019s head and is transgendered, with both male and female sex organs.\nWhy do demons live in the burning ruins of Babylon during the Thousand Year Reign? Because they have nowhere else to go. Satan, their leader, has been chained in hell and God\u2019s presence has filled the rest of the world. Revelation 20:1-2: And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.\nThey can only be in this one place where God\u2019s glory is absent. Isaiah 13:22: And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.\nIt was the haunting cry of the gala priests as they sang their wicked songs to Innana. It is the eerie shriek of the transgenders today, beckoning our children to come join them in bathroom stalls. And it will be that blood-curdling howl, like wolves under the glowing moon, which fills the burning ruins of Babylon. This will be America\u2019s fate if we don\u2019t turn this nation back. Babylon is rising among us, but it will fall again. Revelation 18:2: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.\n*Wikipedia: LGBT Themes in Mythology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_themes_in_mythology#Middle_Eastern_mythologies\nTopics As in the days of Lot, Homosexuality, Lawlessness, mystery babylon, Political, transgenderism, United States\nTony Griffin 9/07/2016 1:28 PM\nWow.

        "title": "All-American Prospects Game Officials Get Their Time to Shine",
        "raw_content": "When Andrew Bruggeman learned he was going to be one of the officials at the 2018 USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game, the North Mankato, Minnesota, native was excited.\nBut when he heard who the other official and two linesmen would be \u2013 Kevin Briganti, Sean McFarlane and Patrick Richardson \u2013 he got even more excited for a different reason.\n\u201cIt\u2019s an awesome group of guys,\u201d Bruggeman said. \u201cI was more excited for those guys to get the opportunity than I was myself.\u201d\nEach year, four officials out of USA Hockey\u2019s Officiating Development Program are selected to work the All-American Prospects Game. For the officials, it\u2019s a reward for the work they have done moving their way up the levels of hockey.\nBruggeman started in the Officiating Development Program when he was in college at Minnesota State University Mankato. He had previously worked youth games, but saw the program as an opportunity to officiate at a higher level.\nOfficials start out in leagues such as the North American Hockey League or the United States Hockey League. Eventually, most officials end up moving into higher levels. Once they graduate they often end up in professional minor leagues like the ECHL.\nBruggeman at the 2018 All-American Prospects Game\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been able to identify officials at the grassroots level and educate and develop them into really, really solid officials,\u201d said Scott Zelkin, the manager of the Officiating Development Program. \u201cIt takes officials who are passionate about officiating and direct it so they can be part of the game.\u201d\nBruggeman started at the junior level and worked his way up. He eventually got to officiate Game 3 of the USHL\u2019s Clark Cup Final between Tri-City and Dubuque at a sold-out arena in Kearney, Nebraska.\n\u201cThey finished the introductions and all of a sudden [I] had goosebumps,\u201d Bruggeman said. \u201cIt was a really cool experience.\u201d\nAs Bruggeman was starting his ascent in the officiating world, Patrick Richardson was well on his way as a linesman. He was selected to be a part of this year\u2019s All-American Prospects Game officiating team as he enters his 16th season as USA Hockey registered official.\nRichardson came into the All-American Prospects Game with plenty of experience on big stages. Prior to taking some time off in the summer, Richardson had officiated Game 7 of the Kelly Cup Final in the ECHL. But for Richardson, getting asked to work the All-American Prospects Game was a memorable moment.\n\u201cIt was cool. A lot of guys I\u2019ve worked with over the years have officiated that game and told me how great the experience was,\u201d Richardson said. \u201cWhen [Zelkin] called, it was truly a humbling moment.\u201d\nFor both Bruggeman and Richardson, this year\u2019s game at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota, was the first time they had ever worked a game on an NHL rink. Zelkin is aware of some of the challenges these officials may face and tries to give them advice before the game begins.\n\u201cYou\u2019re on the ice with a tremendous amount of talent,\u201d Zelkin said. \u201cThe advice we give to these officials is to not take anything for granted and don\u2019t assume nothing is going to happen. You have to be ready but also try and stay out of the way as much as possible. The players are trying to make an impression on those scouts up in the stands.\u201d\nTen of those players who were showcasing their talent on the ice were playing in their home state. This was also the case for Bruggeman. It was his first time on the ice at Xcel Energy Center since he played in the 2008 Minnesota State High School League state tournament.\n\u201cJust getting to be there in a working capacity and be under those bright lights again was so cool,\u201d Bruggeman said. \u201cThe atmosphere is great too. The players are laid back and it gives you a chance to focus on the game while also soaking in the experience.\u201d\nWhen asked to describe this year\u2019s group, Zelkin spoke about all of the officials\u2019 willingness to give back. It\u2019s something Richardson and Bruggeman say is important to all of the participants in the Officiating Development Program.\n\u201cI owe everything to this program. Without it, I wouldn\u2019t get to officiate games in the ECHL or AHL,\u201d Richardson said. \u201cIt gave me structure and taught me how to be a professional. Every one of us is still very willing and are willing to give back as much as we can.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019m Not Running for President\nVia Patrick McMullan (Trump).\nYesterday morning I announced that, having given it a good think and a whole lot of prayer, I will not be running for president of the United States in 2012. I thought I\u2019d made myself pretty clear, but judging from the flood of calls and e-mails my staff and I have received over the past 24 hours, I can see that I\u2019ve got a bit more explaining to do.\nWhen I said that God didn\u2019t want me to run, I didn\u2019t mean that He thought me to be in any way inexperienced or \u201cnot quite ready to lead.\u201d Far from it. \u201cYou\u2019re a lot better qualified than the rest of the pack,\u201d He told me. \u201cEspecially what\u2019s-her-name who\u2019s claiming that her candidacy was my idea. I never told her to run for president any more than I told her to marry that fruitcake of a husband. And I\u2019ll tell you something else,\u201d He said. \u201cIf the primary were held today, I\u2019d vote for you in a heartbeat.\u201d\nGod prefers my ideas on shrinking the government to those of the other Republicans and added that if He could, He would put it in writing that Social Security is a Satanic Ponzi scheme.\nI said, \u201cI wish you would.\u201d\nAnd He told me that He doesn\u2019t have any hands, just arms that end in points, like pool cues. That\u2019s why His beard is so long\u2014He can\u2019t cut it. If I were president I would trim the Lord\u2019s beard, and then I would trim federal spending. But I\u2019m not running.\nI also said in my announcement that a presidential campaign would take too high of a toll on my family. \u201cWhat family?\u201d several of you have asked. \u201cDo you have a wife and kids we don\u2019t know about?\u201d\nTo that I answer, and with a heavy heart, \u201cNo.\u201d I would have a wife and a house full of children, but the lady who was right for me, the one who was destined to be my better half, was aborted in one of our nation\u2019s fine \u201cwomen\u2019s health\u201d clinics. Had she been born, we would have danced at my high-school prom and kissed beneath the stars on the boat we would have received from her parents as a wedding gift. None of that happened, though, because the person who was supposed to give birth to her was too selfish and cowardly to go through with the pregnancy. If I were president, I would turn the tables, and allow the fetus to abort itsmother. A federally mandated ultrasound would reveal a clear thumbs-up, or thumbs-down, and that would be the law of the land. But I\u2019m not running for president.\n\u201cBut what about Shari\u2019a Law?\u201d you\u2019re probably asking. \u201cIt\u2019s spreading like wildfire through the United States and I\u2019m worried that my town could be next!\u201d\nTo this I\u2019d answer\u2014and bear with me here\u2014that if you really look at Shari\u2019a Law and leave out the Islamic part, it\u2019s actually not such a bad thing, at least if you\u2019re not a criminal, or someone who practices deviant behavior. One of the things it calls for\u2014and adamantly\u2014is the execution of homosexuals, no matter which congresswoman they\u2019re married to. Shari\u2019a Law dictates that highway robbers should be crucified, and, ladies and gentleman, if our federal taxes aren\u2019t highway robbery, I don\u2019t know what is. If I were running for president, my first order would be to take all the \u201crevenue generating\u201d Democrats and nail them to crosses. Then I\u2019d institute my environmental policy and hang solar panels around their necks. Oh, we\u2019ll have green energy, all right, especially after rigor mortis sets in!\nIf we want to get out of this mess we\u2019re in, we\u2019ve got to think outside the box. On the one hand, we have immigrants pouring across the border, and on the other, the price of gas is going through the roof! I say we kill two birds with one stone and have illegal Mexicans push our cars. Canadians too, and why not? They\u2019re on our land, so can\u2019t we punish them as we see fit? Another example: You have babies born addicted to crack and meth, kids who will never be able to think straight, no matter how much money we throw at them. At the same time we have streets blighted with potholes. I\u2019m not suggesting that we train* these children *to fill the potholes, but that we fill the potholes with these children, just stuff them right down there and cover them with asphalt. Then we take the money we\u2019ve saved and put it toward the deficit.\nWant me to go on? Half of our country is suffering from drought, and the other half\u2019s suffering from liberal crybabies. I say we gather the union workers on parched cornfields, strip them of their collective-bargaining rights, and water the crops with their tears. There\u2019d be a whole lot of boohooing if I were the president, you better believe it! You\u2019d hear blubbering from the terrorists, from the benefit hogs, and even from members of my own party\u2014but I\u2019m not running for president, at least until I am.",

        "raw_content": "Home Science Study finds most adults wrongly associate nicotine with cancer\nStudy finds most adults wrongly associate nicotine with cancer\nA study by pharmaceutical development company Pinney Associates, found that while most adults are aware that nicotine is the addictive factor in cigarettes, most also wrongly assume that it causes cancer.\nThe study which was presented at the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco\u2019s 24th annual meeting, clearly indicates how the public is still largely misinformed about the dangers of cigarettes. Contrary to what most seem to think, Nicotine, is a natural plant alkaloid, with a lot of interesting and useful properties. In fact, previous studies have indicated that Nicotine can prevent brain shrinkage, and also protect from the onslaught of Alzheimer\u2019s and other neurological disorders.\nNicotine\u2019s useful medicinal properties\nThe compiled data pointed out that interestingly, smokers tend to be more misinformed than non-smokers, with 52.5% of smokers vs 14.6% of non-smokers, linking nicotine to cancer.\nNicotine affects the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and its receptor. \u201cAcetylcholine is a very important neurotransmitter in the body and brain that aids memory and attention. In Alzheimer\u2019s disease patients, acetylcholine in the brain is dramatically reduced because neurons releasing it are damaged or dead,\u201d explains the Alzheimer\u2019s Drug Discovery Foundation.\nThe researchers from Pinney Associates, analyzed data from 1,736 adults via the 2017 health information national trends survey. Approximately 85% of the participants mentioned the addictive component of nicotine, while 53% said that it causes cancer. Additionally, the compiled data pointed out that interestingly, smokers tend to be more misinformed than non-smokers, with 52.5 percent of smokers vs 14.6 percent of non-smokers, linking nicotine to cancer.\nMisconceptions about e-cigarettes\nAnother recent study also highlighted a similarly common misconception. Data compiled by the National Cancer Institute\u2019s Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), indicated that more smokers mistakenly believed that e-cigarettes are more harmful than regular cigarettes in 2017, than they did in 2013.\nThese facts are alarming, and give us an indication into how many lives are being lost to smokers who would never consider switching to the safer alternatives, that could potentially save their lives. Many public health experts, have been repeatedly pointing out that the spread of inaccurate and alarming statements by authority figures such as the Surgeon General have contributed to such misinformation, and have been urging lawmakers to look at scientific data and release corrective statements accordingly.\nPinney Associates\nPrevious articleIowa AG: E-cig companies should be allowed to describe their products truthfully\nNext articleNZ\u2019s Ministry of Health Takes Philip Morris to Court",

        "title": "Study links bad economy to lower divorce rates. But why? | Verner Brumley Mueller Parker PC",
        "raw_content": "A study, soon to be published in Population Research and Policy Review-an online journal that offers data on population research-indicates that the number of U.S. divorces directly correlate to the prosperity of the U.S. economy. It seems couples refrain from seeking a divorce during bad economic times.\nSpecifics of the study\nResearchers analyzed data from 2008 to 2011-the main timeframe of the Great Recession.\nFrom 2008-2009-when the Great Recession initially hit the U.S. economy-the divorce rate dropped from 2.09 percent to 1.95 percent. Then, from 2010-2011 as the economy started to rebound, the divorce rate increased to 1.98 percent.\nAccording to a sociologist from the University of Maryland, this shows that individuals obtain divorces based on how well the U.S. economy is doing.\nAnother sociologist from Johns Hopkins University seemingly agrees. \u201cThis is exactly what happened in the 1930s. The divorce rate dropped [as well] during the Great Depression,\u201d he said.\nBut why? Did people somehow reconciliate during hard times?\nReasons behind the theory\nThe Johns Hopkins Sociologist indicates that the divorce rate decreased \u201cnot because people were happier with their marriages, but because they couldn\u2019t afford to get divorced.\u201d\nThis is understandable because many divorces can be very costly. Individuals likely believe that when money is tight or a member of the household is unemployed-like when the economy is struggling-people may believe that they can\u2019t afford to get divorced and are stuck in the marriage until the situation improves.\nHowever, it\u2019s important for married individuals contemplating divorce that the process doesn\u2019t have to be costly. It\u2019s likely true that there are certain factors that will increase the cost of certain divorces. For instance, if a couple has a large estate with complex assets, or there\u2019s an extremely hostile situation, the cost may increase because of the difficulty of working everything out. But, finding the right divorce attorney who can assess the situation and find cost-saving avenues is essential. This is advised when the economy is prospering, faltering, or descending.\nAlternative dispute resolution may be one such cost-effective solution for couples wishing to save money in their divorce. Collaboration and mediation are the two main methods.\nIn collaboration, each party retains a separate attorney and all four parties work together to resolve the marital issues. All collaboration is done outside the courtroom-thus reducing the expensive costs of litigation. Additionally, the process allows the parties to work at their own pace.\nIn mediation, a neutral third-party, known as a divorce mediator, facilitates the negotiation process between the divorcing parties and helps the couple arrive at agreeable solutions. The mediator is often an attorney who understands the law. In mediation, the end result is a binding agreement-without the need for litigation. Depending on the situation, mediation is less costly than going to court, but it can also be less costly than collaboration.\nSpeaking with a divorce lawyer\nTo determine which avenue is best for you, speaking with a family law attorney is advised. A lawyer can examine your situation and help find a route to take that not only works best for your circumstance, but saves money for everyone involved.\nNext Post: Texas law concerning child custody by grandparents \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Healing the Wounds of Slavery, Part 1\nThe United States of America carries a deep wound that you and I have the opportunity to heal. This wound can be summarized in one word: slavery. Psychologists like Carl Rogers have understood that individuals cannot attain mental health until their actual self is aligned with their ideal self. The same is true of nations. From its inception, our nation has had a huge rift between its ideal self (\u201call men are created equal\u201d) and its actual self (a nation built by slaves).\nThomas Jefferson was the ultimate embodiment of this paradox. At the time he wrote the Declaration of Independence, he owned more than 100 slaves. Although unwilling to support the abolition of slavery or even to free his own slaves, Jefferson realized the potential ramifications of this practice: \u201cIndeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just (and) that his justice cannot sleep forever.\u201d\nWhether we call it divine justice or karma, the ripple effects of slavery continue to be felt not just in the U.S. but throughout the entire world. The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, adopted in 1868 abolished slavery but also opened the door for corporations to be granted the same rights of personhood as former slaves.\nLike the slave owners of old, modern corporations have put profit ahead of human welfare. But the form of slavery practiced by corporate giants has a far broader reach, extending to every nation and to every living being on this planet. Corporations are privatizing everything that sustains life on Earth, including land, air, water, food, and all other natural resources. And just like slave owners, corporations have no burden of responsibility to their property\u2014only to their profits.\nThe wound that slavery has produced may in fact be lethal. But we still have time to heal this wound. First, we can free ourselves from corporate slavery. This means finding ways to feed, clothe and house ourselves that do not rely on corporations. Not only is it possible to withdraw our energy from an economic system that is destroying life on our planet; it is our sacred duty. The second task, which is equally important, is to offer blessings to all concerned: slave owner and slave, exploiter and exploited, rich and poor. We are all in this together, which is why forgiveness is so crucial. Yes, we can offer forgiveness to those who enslave, but we can also ask for forgiveness for our part in the enslavement process.\nMitzi Dasheya Cowell link\nI feel like America's biggest karmic test is to live up to our claims of valuing \"freedom.\" It's arguably the highest value in the American mythology - this nation was founded through revolution against tyranny and a rejection of ancienne regime notions of nobility through birth and divine right of kings - we all have an inalienable right to freedom and self-actualization. Yet all through American history we've still had this struggle to walk the talk of freedom - to free ourselves from economic exploitation, to gain equal rights for all... and the institution of slavery was probably the ugliest manifestation of the conundrum. But just as we ended the actual institution (though on other levels de facto slavery continues) the American spirit does seem to be on the path of freeing itself, ultimately; it's our freedom to dream of the impossible that has made this such a dynamic, confident, and creative culture. But there are a lot of institutional and cultural forces trying to erode this spirit. The fear of lack that fuels so many of the personal and larger-scale choices we make in a runaway market-driven society is an anathema to freedom. In a way it seems our freedom is in more danger than it's ever been. Of course that means that the payoff for walking through this challenge could be freedom like we've never imagined!\nI agree that the irony of the 14th Amendment does seem like some sort of \"karma\" or \"divine justice.\" We're now shouldered with freeing ourselves as Americans, and as citizens of the Earth, from corporate power. But we also need to remember that as a culture we signed up for this ride when our forefathers proclaimed our national love of freedom. We can realize that we are born into a very powerful story about freedom, and that our choices to free ourselves mentally, and on every level, are very powerful in the human story.\nI appreciate your call for forgiveness too, for each other and ourselves. I believe the elephant in the room in the USA is race, and a big part of the healing of slavery has to come from admitting that we still have a race problem. Even the most socially and politically progressive of us still need to look inside ourselves to see where racism is still at work. When I lived in Canada for awhile and interacted with people of various shades who had not been raised in the U.S., I felt the absence of the \"race thing\" as a palpable weight lifted off my heart. It was very moving.\nThis is a long reply, but my essays tend to go for several pages, so you got off easy, Victor! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and inviting more.\nThank you, Dasheya, for your insightful comments. You are so right! Freedom is the core issue here in American life. We live in a country that stands for the ideal of political, religious, and economic freedom. But freedom is ultimately a psychological and spiritual question. How do we free ourselves from the kinds of dynamics that give rise to exploitation, inequality,and injustice? What I admire about someone like Gandhi is his profound understanding that liberation must take place at both an interpersonal and intrapersonal level; the two are inseparable. In our hearts, we can sense that the kind of freedom embraced by great leaders like Gandhi, Lincoln, Mandela, and MLK, is enormous in scope and begins in the heart and mind of each individual.\nI would like to invite you to be a guest blogger on this topic. I know you have much more to say on the theme of freedom, and I would be delighted not just to read your ideas but to share them with other visitors to this site..",

Lindsey Houghton said officers were at the scene canvassing potential witnesses the day after the murder, but the effort turned up nothing new.\nHe added it could take years for the crime to be solved.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a combination of luck and all sorts of other things, if they\u2019re even solved,\u201d Houghton said.\nOn June 25, gangster Randy Naicker was gunned down on busy Queens Street during rush hour.\nNaicker was the founder of the Independent Soldiers and had a criminal past.\nIn May, another gangster, Gurbinder Singh Toor, was gunned down in the parking lot of the Port Moody Recreation Complex just after sundown.\nThe victim was exiting his car to play ball hockey when he was shot.\nThere have been few leads in that case, but police believe the suspect vehicle was a Nissan Murano.\nInvestigators put up posters with the description of the vehicle at the recreation centre in hopes of getting new tips.\nSimon Fraser University criminologist Robert Gordon believes there is no chance the shooters will be brought to justice.\nHe suggested the shooters were likely \u201cimports,\u201d who were brought into the area for that one specific purpose. They likely picked up the firearm for the shooting and then disposed of it shortly afterwards. In the case of the Naicker shooting, witnesses said the gunmen wore masks to cover their face. \u201cThey\u2019ll never be identified,\u201d Gordon said. The two shootings were the first homicides in Port Moody in nearly a decade.",

We were hoping for maybe 100 to show up and within the first hour we ran out of basic supplies\u201d, stated Latunski. \u201cThis is a way to give back and we wanted to do something more than just the basic assignment\u201d.\nThe goal for the event is to incorporate spirituality and nursing care while washing the feet of the homeless. With hopes to provide each person with a pair of socks and shoes and education on how to clean feet properly and seek assistance when needed.\nThose who attended todays event were given a free meal, shoes, socks, and had their feet washed. Thanks to the over 300 pairs of shoes and 500 socks donated, recipients were able to take multiple pairs of socks and shoes. Additionally, they had their body mass index and fat ratio checked as well as offered information for the community health department.\n\u201cWe wanted to bring out the community to show an acceptance of the homeless community. A lot of people don\u2019t know the stuff that they go through and the things that they deal with on an everyday basis. We wanted to bring an awareness\u201d, stated volunteer and nursing student Carmen Rodriguez.\nVolunteers plan on continuing to do this event every year. They are in need of socks, shoes, medical supplies, basic things such as lotions, antibacterial soaps, shop towels, and money. Any unused items will go towards the Victor Valley Rescue Mission and The High Desert Homeless Shelter.\nIf you would like to know more information on how to donate, or volunteer for future events you can email socksshoessalvation@gmail.com.

        "raw_content": "Healthy Mind, Healthy Body: Summer Wellness Tips for Employees\nEncourage healthy habits this summer for decreased absenteeism.\nWhen it comes to keeping healthy and preventing absenteeism amongst employees, it is no secret that employer-sponsored health and wellness programs go a long way towards ensuring a happy, healthy staff. Not only do daily fitness programs for employees decrease their stress and promote multiple health improvements, but they can also save your business thousands of dollars in health care costs, simply by introducing your staff to a healthier lifestyle.\nHowever, an active lifestyle and a regular health and fitness regimen are not the only things that prevent absenteeism in employees. There are also many other lifestyle factors that can lead to potential illness or a sick days, resulting in significant costs to your company\u2019s bottom line. For instance, American businesses lose an average of 2.8 million work days each year due to unplanned absences. These absences cost U.S. employers more than $74 billion. Other studies also show that unplanned employee absences caused a 54 percent decrease in productivity and a 39 percent drop in sales and customer service each year.\nUnfortunately, many employees are not aware of just how easy it is to prevent some of these illnesses or problems from occurring. To help you ensure that your staff is staying healthy and strong all summer long, we have put together some of the most common causes of employee absenteeism that occur during the summer season, along with some basic tips on how to prevent these problems in the first place.\nWhile you can\u2019t blame your employees for wanting to soak up as much sun as they possibly can during their summer weekends away from the office, it is important for them to know just how dangerous this activity can be to their skin and their health. It only takes a few minutes out in the sun without sunscreen for the effects of skin cancer or skin poisoning to set in. Therefore, be sure to apply generous amounts of sun block (that protects against both UVA and UBV rays) whenever you are planning on heading outside. Also, if you plan on being outside for a significant amount of time, consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat to further protect your face and your eyes from the dangers of UV rays.\nOne of the reasons many people enjoy the summer months so much is because it means more time spent outdoors with nature. However, whether you are tending to your garden, going for a hike in the mountains, or simply taking a quick walk around the neighborhood, be sure to keep an eye out for poisonous plants such as poison ivy, oak or sumac. Also, you can decrease your risk of coming in contact with these plants by using protective clothing, such as a long pants, long-sleeved shirt and vinyl gloves, as well as barrier lotions/creams.\nWhen you are outside all day with your family and friends, it is easy to forgot about keeping yourself hydrated. However, when the sun is beating down on you all day during the summer months and you are sweating outside, it is very easy to lose water and for your body to become dehydrated. If you feel yourself becoming dizzy, having a dry mouth or becoming faint, be sure to drink a nice big glass of water to bump up the amount of fluids in your system.",

        "raw_content": "Sea level rise is eroding home value, and owners might not even know it\nBy John Tibbetts, Chris Mooney\nEDISTO ISLAND, SC - AUGUST 13: Elizabeth Boineau stands on her dock at Edisto Island on August 13th, 2018. Rising seas damaged her home in downtown Charleston and have threatened her property value. (Photo by Hunter McRae for The Washington Post)\nCHARLESTON, S.C. \u2014Elizabeth Boineau\u2019s 1939 Colonial sits a block and a half from the Ashley River in a sought-after neighborhood of ancient live oaks, charming gardens and historic homes. A year ago, she thought she could sell it for nearly $1 million. But after dropping the price 11 times, Boineau has decided to tear it down.\nIn March, the city\u2019s Board of Architectural Review approved the demolition \u2014 a decision not taken lightly in Charleston\u2019s historic district.\n\u201cEach time that I was just finishing up paying off the bills, another flood would hit,\u201d Boineau said.\nBoineau is one of many homeowners on the front lines of society\u2019s confrontation with climate change, living in houses where rising sea levels have worsened flooding not just in extreme events like hurricanes, but also heavy rains and even high tides. Now, three studies have found evidence that the threat of higher seas is also undermining coastal property values as home buyers \u2014 particularly investors \u2014 begin the retreat to higher ground.\nOn 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.\nMap of Charleston, SC and flood areas (Joe Fox/The Washington Post)\nBy comparing properties that are virtually the same but for their exposure to the seas, researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Pennsylvania State University found that vulnerable homes sold for 6.6 percent less than unexposed homes. The most vulnerable properties \u2014 those that stand to be flooded after seas rise by just one foot \u00ad\u2014 were selling at a 14.7 percent discount, according to the study, which is set to be published in the Journal of Financial Economics.\nThe study found the drop in prices appears to be driven primarily by investors buying multiple properties or second homes. Such buyers tend to be wealthier and better educated than owners who occupy their coastal homes, said Ryan Lewis, an assistant professor of finance at the University of Colorado and a co-author of the study.\n\u201cSophisticated buyers .\u2009.\u2009. demand a discount to bear the risk of future sea level rise,\u201d Lewis said in an email.\nThe most-studied market has been Miami-Dade County, parts of which have for years been experiencing regular sunny-day flooding. In a separate paper published in April, researchers at Harvard University found that properties at higher elevations were appreciating faster than properties at lower elevations, a phenomenon they dubbed \u201cclimate gentrification.\u201d\nLast month, the nonprofit First Street Foundation released the first analysis to single out Charleston, a gracious port city founded in 1670. The analysis suggests that exposed homes in Charleston have lost $266 million in value since 2005 because of coastal flooding and expectations of still higher seas. (Using the same method, the First Street researchers found a $465 million loss in Miami-Dade County.)\nHarvard\u2019s Jesse Keenan, who worked on the climate gentrification study, said the research is \u201can emerging area\u201d that has produced uneven results. For instance, the Colorado-Penn State study found lower property values along the U.S. coast as a whole and in several states, including New York, New Jersey, Florida and Massachusetts. But it did not detect a change in South Carolina.\nCHARLESTON, SC - AUGUST 13: Elizabeth Boineau's home at 128 Beaufain Street in downtown Charleston is for sale on August 13th, 2018. Rising seas damaged her home and have threatened her property value. (Photo by Hunter McRae for The Washington Post)\nIn addition, the overall effect on prices appears to be surprisingly small, said Susan Wachter, a professor of real estate at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.\n\u201cYou could turn it around, almost,\u201d Wachter said. \u201cDespite all the discussion of sea level rise, and despite the tremendous increase in the number of events over the last years and the destructiveness of the events, coastal building continues and coastal property appreciation continues.\u201d\nIndeed, beachfront property is not necessarily declining in value. Rather, the studies suggest that more-exposed properties \u2014 including properties that have not yet experienced direct flooding \u2014 simply are not appreciating as rapidly as their inland neighbors.\nHome prices on the coast are \u201cgoing up along with market trends. They\u2019re just not going up as fast as other places,\u201d said Jeremy Porter, a Columbia University researcher who conducted the First Street study with Steven McAlpine, the group\u2019s head of data science.\nCharleston, for example, has a hot real estate market characterized by high demand even though the city\u2019s historic heart sits at low elevation, is surrounded on three sides by water and has recorded a rise in sea level of roughly a foot over the past century.\nA large part of that rise has come in the last 25 years, said Norm Levine, director of the Lowcountry Hazards Center at the College of Charleston. As a result, roughly 1 percent of buildings in the Charleston area are now seeing annual flooding, Levine said. \u201cOur 50-year estimate is that it will be 15 percent of the inventory of buildings.\u201d\nWhile homes that have already flooded are clearly losing value, Levine said he is skeptical of the First Street study\u2019s findings that other properties in Charleston are also being affected. That there will be an effect on real estate at some point is \u201ca given,\u201d Levine said. \u201cThe question is how long before it actually starts happening.\u201d\nOwen Tyler, the managing broker of the Cassina Group, a realty company that sells million-dollar-plus historic homes in Charleston, agrees. Home buyers are asking increasingly savvy questions about flooding, Tyler said, \u201ca dramatic change from three years ago or five years ago.\u201d\nBut Tyler said it\u2019s mainly homes that have already flooded that are suffering; he said he has seen no \u201cbig change\u201d in the market overall.\n\u201cSome of the houses that had water in them last year, they\u2019re selling a little slower. They\u2019re staying on the market a longer time,\u201d said Judy Tarleton, the broker in charge at Carriage Properties, another local realty company. \u201cBut we are still seeing lots of people come to Charleston.\u201d\nBoineau lives in Harleston Village, one of the neighborhoods that has been hardest hit. In October 2015, flooding on the Ashley River damaged gardens and homes after an extreme rain event dropped about 20 inches on the city. Not a month later, an 8.7-foot tide flooded the neighborhood again.\nIn 2016, Hurricane Matthew drove a six-foot storm surge into the city. And in 2017, the remnants of Hurricane Irma again flooded some Harleston Village homes, including Boineau\u2019s.\n\u201cI definitely feel like something has changed,\u201d Boineau said when asked about sea level rise and whether flooding in Charleston is getting worse. \u201cAnd I think that we all have a lot to be concerned about.\u201d\n\u201cThere was no discussion of flooding when we moved into this house in 2004,\u201d said Susan Lyons, 75, a retired journalist who lives two blocks from the river and has had to file insurance claims three times to replace flood-damaged ducts. \u201cWe\u2019ve all been blown away by the amount of water that comes from the river.\u201d\nBoineau put her house on the market last August priced just shy of $1 million, after repairs from two straight years of flooding that had come up under the house but left the interior largely unaffected. Then in September, the remnants of Hurricane Irma inundated the first floor of the house with eight inches of water.\nEven when a property has flooded, local real estate agents said homeowners can reassure buyers by waterproofing electrical systems, moving ductwork and, at the extreme, elevating the entire house \u2014 a pricey endeavor.\nBoineau made ductwork and other repairs after the first two flooding events, but after the third, she dropped the price to $599,900 and went through a lengthy process to get permission for demolition.\nNow, Boineau says, a new buyer can build an elevated property on the lot. When that\u2019s done, her real estate agent, Robin Reeves, said the property should \u201cgo for 1.3 to 1.4 million dollars.\u201d\nCharleston Mayor John Tecklenburg (I) \u2014 himself a former real estate agent \u2014 said the city is looking for other ways to protect property values. Officials are considering a \u201ccomprehensive set of flooding and sea-level-rise strategies,\u201d including improving pumping systems and raising Charleston\u2019s Battery, a sea wall at the tip of the peninsula.\nBut those are expensive and complex solutions, Tecklenburg said; even if Charleston had the money, designs are not even in place yet for all of the potential engineering projects.\n\u201cOur flooding challenges have been around for hundreds of years, because we filled creeks and marshland, before people figured out that wasn\u2019t a particularly wise thing to do,\u201d Tecklenburg said. \u201cSo we\u2019re playing catch-up, no doubt about it, and it will take a little time.\u201d\nAs city officials adjust, so do Charleston residents. Unable to find a buyer willing to purchase and then repair the home, Boineau decided to demolish it and sell the lot in Harleston Village. She is renting a condo just across the river from the city\u2019s central peninsula in West Ashley, where her new neighbors have assured her there has been no flooding. She hopes to buy there after the Harleston lot sells.\n\u201cCharleston,\u201d she said, \u201cis still an incredible place to live.\u201d\nchris.mooney@washpost.com\nMooney reported from Washington.\nRelated: Antarctic ice loss has tripled in a decade.

        "title": "Trump transition team reverses course on warnings to oust inspectors general - The Washington Post",
        "raw_content": "Trump transition team reverses course on warnings to oust inspectors general\nJustice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz in 2012. (J. Scott Applewhite/AP)\nTrump transition officials last Friday phoned inspectors general in at least a handful of Cabinet departments to indicate that they could soon be removed from their posts, a break from the bipartisan tradition of letting inspectors general stay in their jobs as long as they are willing.\nThe Trump transition team contacted inspectors general in the Treasury and Labor departments, and at least one other key department that confirmed the approach as long as it was not identified.\nAfter some IGs protested, a more senior member of the Trump transition team ordered a new round of phone calls within days to reassure the inspectors general that they would not be forced from their posts.\nThe confusion is another indication of how parts of the Trump transition team appear unfamiliar with the workings of the federal government. And it underscores the sometimes tense relationship between the incoming administration and portions of the federal workforce, which could lead to friction after Trump takes office.\nAny effort to oust inspectors general is likely to spark a political backlash. The last time a president removed all inspectors was when President Ronald Reagan did so in 1981, dismissing all the IGs at the time. The move drew sharp attacks from lawmakers and the public; Reagan later rehired five of those inspectors general.\n\u201cIt bespeaks a tone-deafness about the importance of inspectors general and keeping them as nonpolitical actors who can clamp down on waste, fraud and abuse,\u201d said Michael Bromwich, who served as an inspector general in the Justice Department from 1994 to 1999 and directed the Interior Department\u2019s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement under President Obama. Bromwich now leads a strategic consulting firm, the Bromwich Group.\nIn an email, the office of the Treasury Department inspector general noted that recent precedent suggests the presidential transition will not affect its leadership.\n\u201cIn the past few decades, incoming administrations have not indicated expectations that IGs should resign, and generally IGs have not resigned,\u201d the office said in an email.\nTrump transition officials did not reply to emails seeking their comment. Trump lambasted House Republicans earlier this month for time spent attempting to weaken a congressional ethics office.\nFollowing scandals in federal programs, inspectors general were placed in a dozen agencies by an act of Congress in 1978. The law tasked the inspectors general with conducting audits and investigations of their departments and issuing reports to Congress and their agency heads. Their goal is to ferret out deficiencies and problems for corrective action. Today there are 73 inspectors general, nearly half of whom are appointed by the president, while the rest are appointed by their agency chiefs.\nReflecting their nonpartisan role, inspectors general typically stay in their positions when presidential administrations change.\nEric M. Thorson, the Treasury Department inspector general, was nominated by President George W. Bush in 2007. Earlier he worked for the Air Force Department, for Republicans in the Senate and for the Small Business Administration.\nThorson spokesman Rich Delmar said the inspector general \u201cwas contacted by a member of the Treasury transition team and advised that he would be temporarily extended after January 20.\u201d\nThere is no such thing as a temporary extension for an inspector general. To remove an IG, the president must submit his plan 30 days in advance with Congress. This has happened only once in 35 years.\nAn official in the Labor Department said a similar sequence of events happened there, with a junior member of the transition team notifying the department\u2019s inspector general that he would get a temporary extension.\n\u201cThe not-too-subtle undertone was, \u2018We can get rid of you if we want, so you should play ball,\u2019\u2009\u201d said the Labor Department official, who asked for anonymity to discuss matters related to the transition.\nA spokesman for the Labor Department\u2019s inspector general later contrasted this account, saying a discussion of that nature did not take place.\nThe inspector general in another major Cabinet-level agency also received a call from the Trump transition saying he could stay temporarily. That same person, however, made a subsequent call to say the first call was a mistake. Like other inspectors general, that one is planning to remain in office.\nNot all inspectors general were contacted: Nancy DiPaolo, who directs external affairs for the Interior Department\u2019s IG office, said her office did not receive such a call and held a \u201cnormal\u201d meeting with the transition team last week.\nAfter the initial round of calls, some IGs, including Michael E. Horowitz, who chairs the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, reached out to Republicans on Capitol Hill in an effort to get additional information from the transition team about its plans. Horowitz, who serves as the Justice Department\u2019s inspector general, declined to comment for this article.\nHouse Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who authored a bipartisan law last year that made it easier for inspector generals to gather evidence and pursue cases, said in an email he was informed of the situation.\n\u201cInspectors general play a key role in keeping the federal government open and honest,\u201d Chaffetz said. \u201cThey must be empowered with the tools they need to effectively do their job.\u201d\nAt least one lawmaker interpreted the series of phone calls in a positive light. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) said in an email it was a \u201cgood sign that the incoming administration listened to people who understand the important role that inspectors general play.\u201d\nGrassley has proposed legislation that would strengthen the abilities of inspectors general to gain access to departmental documents.\n\u201cThere are already nine vacancies among the 33 presidentially appointed IGs,\u201d Grassley said. \u201cPresident Trump will be able to choose nearly a third of the IG community, and he should focus on filling those positions quickly rather than wait for years like the Obama administration did with some vacancies. Independent, nonpartisan IG\u2019s can be some of the president\u2019s best allies in finding and cutting waste, fraud and abuse in the bureaucracy.\u201d",

        "title": "Women's march attendance - Largest U.S. protests in history - The Washington Post",
        "raw_content": "This is what we learned by counting the women\u2019s marches\nBy Erica Chenoweth and\nFairbanks, Alaska, residents participate in the Farthest North Women\u2019s March on Washington on Jan. 21, 2017. (Robin Wood/Fairbanks Daily News-Miner via AP)\nThis is the fifth post in our series on what social science can tell us about the Women\u2019s March on Washington. Here are the first, second, third and fourth. \u2014 TMC editors\nThe Women\u2019s March on Washington was likely the largest single-day demonstration in recorded U.S. history. The only potential competitors were the Vietnam War Moratorium days in 1969 and 1970, which boasted millions of participants worldwide (and up to 1 million in the United States). The first Earth Day in 1970, which some claim had between 10 million and 20 million participants, did involve some demonstrations, but much of the activity involved local educational workshops and science fairs held at schools. And in February 2003, an estimated 10 million people demonstrated worldwide in opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, with around 1 million of those marching in the United States.\nHere\u2019s how we counted\nWe arrived at these figures by relying on publicly reported estimates of march locations and the number of participants involved in each. We started a spreadsheet and called for crowdsourced information about the location and number of participants in marches. Before long, we had received thousands of reports, allowing us to derive low and high estimates for each event. We carefully validated each estimate by consulting local news sources, law enforcement statements, event pages on social media, and, in some cases, photos of the marchers. When reports were imprecise, we aimed for conservative counts; for example, if observers reported \u201chundreds\u201d of participants, we reported a value of 200 (\u201cthousands\u201d was 2,000, \u201ctens of thousands\u201d was 20,000, etc).\nFrom this, we counted at least 653 reported marches in the United States. These involved huge gatherings of well over 100,000 marchers in Washington; Los Angeles; Oakland, Calif.; San Francisco; New York; Chicago; Denver; Seattle and Boston.\nBut there were some places with surprisingly high turnout. For instance, in Wyoming, eight marches brought out between 3,800 and 5,000 people statewide. And in Alaska, 25 marches mobilized nearly 9,000 people statewide.\nIn total, the women\u2019s march involved between 3,267,134 and 5,246,670 people in the United States (our best guess is 4,157,894). That translates into 1 percent to 1.6 percent of the U.S. population of 318,900,000 people (our best guess is 1.3 percent).\nTo put this in perspective, the combined armed forces of the U.S. military \u2014 including the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marine Corps reserves, National Guard, and Coast Guard \u2014 comprise just over 2 million people.\nHow strongly were people motivated to protest?\nAfter a story came out with the headline that 1 in 100 Americans had marched, some critics noted that the other 99 did not.\nTrue, during an election for president or Congress, winning one of 100 votes would be a poor performance. But this misses the meaning of protest numbers. Marching requires a much higher level of commitment than voting. It takes more time, is not anonymous, often involves financial costs and could put the marcher in harm\u2019s way or at risk of arrest or retaliation \u2014 particularly in areas where the marchers are expressing a minority sentiment.\nIn some instances, marchers had to overcome serious limits on mobility to join, suggesting highly intense motivation. For example, five people marched in the cancer ward at a Los Angeles-area hospital. Fifty women marched in a retirement community in Encinitas, Calif. And 415 women\u2019s mobility was so limited that they participated in the women\u2019s march online.\nBraving harsh weather was another test of intense motivation. In Alaska, 2,000 people marched in Fairbanks with a high temperature of 19 below zero; in Unalakleet, 38 or 40 people marched despite a windchill of 40 below. One woman in a Western mountain state was snowed in and couldn\u2019t get to the nearby town where she intended to march. Instead of giving up, she held a march of one in her own town.\nThere were marches everywhere in the U.S.\nOur count revealed that the women\u2019s march took place in areas that were urban and rural, red and blue. About 68 percent of the marches had 1,000 or fewer participants. Overall, there were 297 marches in states Trump carried in the election, with between 721,000 and 1,005,000 total marchers. In red states such as Montana and Alaska, many people marched \u2014 if you use \u201cmany\u201d to mean more than 1 percent of the state\u2019s population using low estimates. Among the thousands of submissions received as people sought to fill in the spreadsheet, we could feel a palpable sense of pride among Montanans for the 10,000-strong attendance at the Helena march.\nIf you look at the marches\u2019 size and locations as a map, it contrasts sharply with the news media\u2019s usual electoral map that makes the country look starkly divided.\nSister marches took place around the world, as well\nThe Women\u2019s March on Washington had sister marches in international locales ranging from Antarctica to Zimbabwe. We found at least 261 marches abroad, with attendance totaling between 266,532 and 357,071 people (our best guess is 307,275 people).\nObservers should take these marches seriously, too. Transnational solidarity often gives a movement more leverage than a purely domestic movement might otherwise have. Moreover, it can be powerful and emboldening when activism is witnessed by others at home and abroad.\nWe don\u2019t know yet whether this transnational solidarity will help the U.S. protest movement; most of the research to date has been on movements elsewhere that get support from U.S. activists.\nWhat did the marches mean?\nWe don\u2019t want to overestimate the power of a single march, however large. A march won\u2019t have much effect unless it\u2019s translated into continuing organized and disciplined mobilization, pressure on the government, collaborative problem-solving and electoral action. But if a march inspires, convenes and energizes, it can catalyze a great deal of change. Very large movements are more likely to translate their goals into real political, social and political change, particularly as they expand their networks into leverage.\nThese marches reveal momentum or insight from earlier movements, such as Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, climate action, immigrant rights, the tea party, trans rights, and Occupy Wall Street. As others have argued here recently, U.S. conditions are ripe for more women\u2019s \u2014 and other \u2014 protests in the coming months and years.\nWe will keep counting\nDocumenting the women\u2019s march in real time, we learned how important it was for people to be seen, witnessed and counted. Because accurate information on popular participation helps gauge their progress and latent power, we are launching a Crowd Counting Consortium (CCC) that will aim to continually keep track of how many people are protesting. We already have live spreadsheets underway cataloging the periods Jan. 22 \u2014 Feb. 5, and Feb. 6 \u2014 Feb. 19, 2017.\nThe CCC is not a research project. It\u2019s a public service. To see more about the CCC, check out the website.\nErica Chenoweth is a professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver. Oxford University Press will publish her next book, \u201cCivil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know,\u201d early next year.

        "raw_content": "The former Khmer Rouge commander who still leads Cambodia is again stoking anti-American sentiment\nCambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany dance on stage during an opening ceremony for the Khmer New Year at the Angkor complex in Siem Reap province. (TANG CHHIN SOTHY/AFP/Getty Images)\nPHNOM PENH \u2014 The United States has been busy in Cambodia these past few months, if Hun Sen\u2019s government is to be believed. Between trying to overthrow the government and secretly backing the now-dissolved opposition party, it has been supporting journalists who report \u201cfake news\u201d and spy for Washington.\nOh, and the CIA has assassinated a prominent political analyst. (Never mind that the analyst was actually a critic of the government and should therefore have been on the CIA\u2019s side, if the conspiracy theories are to be consistent.)\nAs Hun Sen, who has been Cambodia\u2019s prime minister for the past 33 years, takes steps to ensure he\u2019s returned to office in the July 29 election, he has been looking for an external threat to rally support against. And he found the perfect bad guy in the United States.\n\u201cThe U.S. has become the boogeyman here,\u201d says Naly Pilorge, head of the Phnom Penh-based human rights organization Licadho.\nA former Khmer Rouge leader who later helped overthrow Pol Pot, Hun Sen got a shock in national elections in 2013, when the main opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party did surprisingly well. It was buoyed by support from young voters who had not experienced the brutal genocide of the Khmer Rouge era and therefore did not feel a special gratitude to Hun Sen for leading them out of that awful period.\nDuring local elections in June last year, opposition parties won 44 percent of the vote despite concerted efforts to suppress them. That was too close for the government\u2019s comfort, Western diplomats in Phnom Penh say.\nSince then, Hun Sen\u2019s efforts to suppress opposition and criticism have intensified \u2014 and much of it has a strong anti-American streak.\n[As Cambodia crackdown gathers steam, opposition wonders, \u2018Who\u2019s next?\u2019 ]\nThe CNRP\u2019s leader, Kem Sokha, was arrested on charges of treason last September, accused of conspiring with the United States to overthrow Hun Sen\u2019s government. He has been held in a remote prison on the border with Vietnam and will remain there until after the vote.\nShortly after he was arrested, the party was formally dissolved for plotting a \u201ccoup,\u201d essentially wiping out the prime minister\u2019s competition.\n\u201cThat body is dead and was taken to be cremated and buried. We don\u2019t know where the bones are, so there will be no resurrection,\u201d Hun Sen said during a speech to students May 1.\nThe outside criticism has been pointed.\nRhona Smith, the United Nations\u2019 special rapporteur for Cambodia, said last week that the election could not be \u201cgenuine\u201d if the main opposition party was barred from taking part.\nThere is no sign, though, that the authorities will have a change of heart.\nThe United States and the European Union this year cut off funding to the National Election Committee, which is supposed to be an independent election supervisor but is widely considered to be doing Hun Sen\u2019s bidding.\nBoth China and Russia, by contrast, have offered to send election monitors instead, as well as ballot boxes and voting booths.\nThe United States in March joined 44 other countries in a joint call through the U.N. Human Rights Council for the Cambodian authorities to ensure that the election will be free and fair, starting by reinstating the CNRP and releasing Kem Sokha.\n\u201cThe international community has not exhausted all the options yet,\u201d said Monovithya Kem, a CNRP spokeswoman and the daughter of the party\u2019s jailed leader. She is in exile in Washington, and the Hun Sen government has accused her and her sister of being CIA agents.\n\u201cWe have not seen democratic countries working together having a unified message and a unified response to this Cambodian crisis,\u201d she said.\nMore international pressure could have a big impact, said Lao Mong Hay, one of Cambodia\u2019s leading public intellectuals, especially if sanctions were imposed on Cambodia\u2019s leaders.\n\u201cWithout any pressure from the outside or within the country, Cambodia is becoming a dictatorship,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is no democracy or human rights or rule of law.\u201d\n[Democracy is dying in Cambodia. Facebook should make sure it doesn\u2019t help kill it. ]\nWhile banning his rivals, Hun Sen\u2019s government has been cracking down on independent media.\nThe local branches of Radio Free Asia and Voice of America \u2014 both independent broadcasters that receive funds from the U.S. government \u2014 were shut down last year. Two RFA reporters were arrested on suspicion of continuing to contribute stories to the Washington-based media outlet, accused of espionage.\n\u201cIt\u2019s revenge,\u201d one of the reporters, Oun Chinn, said during a recent court hearing. If convicted, he and Yeang Sothearin could be imprisoned for up to 15 years.\nLocal radio stations that carry RFA and VOA broadcasts have had their licenses revoked.\n\u201cI think they are trying to stifle criticism and expression by anyone campaigning against them,\u201d said Nop Vy, executive director of the Cambodian Center for Independent Media. \u201cThe government wants to close the mouths of these people so they can\u2019t criticize the government before the election.\u201d\nThe independent Cambodia Daily, an influential English-language newspaper, was shut down in September, ostensibly for tax breaches.\n\u201cThey decided to steal the election and they needed to take out the opposition and the independent media,\u201d said Doug Steele, general manager of the Cambodia Daily. \u201cWe were basically the witnesses to what was happening.\u201d\n[This Cambodian city is turning into a Chinese enclave, and not everyone is happy ]\nThen, the last remaining English-language paper, the Phnom Penh Post, was sold recently to a Malaysian investor and executive at a public relations firm that had previously done work for Hun Sen\u2019s government.\nShortly after the paper reported on those links, the editor in chief, Kay Kimsong, was fired, multiple journalists wrote on Twitter. The chief executive and at least four reporters, all foreigners, resigned in protest.\nIn contrast to other strongmen in the region such as Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines and Prayuth Chan-o-cha of Thailand, Hun Sen has not been invited to President Trump\u2019s White House \u2014 and in return he has been attacking the United States while demonstrating his allegiance to China.\nThe prime minister has told immigration authorities to root out American spies, suggested the Peace Corps pull out and forced the nongovernmental National Democratic Institute to shut down.\nHe called William Heidt, the Khmer-speaking U.S. ambassador, a \u201cliar\u201d and accused the United States of being behind the 2016 assassination of prominent political analyst Kem Ley.\nBut this anti-American sentiment is not a reaction to Trump, Western observers in Phnom Penh say, as it dates back to before the U.S. election.\nChina has in the meantime been stepping up its role here.\nThe Chinese military held joint exercises in central Cambodia, with Beijing reportedly donating the tanks and armored personnel carriers that it brought here.\nBeijing also helped establish Fresh News, a media outlet that publishes articles favorable to Hun Sen\u2019s government and that recently put out a 700-page book of anti-American sentiment.\nHun Sen has stated that he plans to be in power for another decade, and that, according to Pilorge of Licadho, means that the repression will only intensify in the months ahead.\n\u201cRight now, the international community still has leverage over the country,\u201d she said. But \u201cit\u2019s only going to get worse because after the election, there will be no constraints on them at all.\u201d\nWhy the world should not forget Khmer Rouge and the killing fields of Cambodia",

        "raw_content": "What is lutein? Lutein is one of the most important antioxidants for your eyes - especially the macula. It is a carotenoid found in dark green leafy vegetables such as kale and collard greens. It also provides the yellow or orange pigment found in some fruits and vegetables.\nCarotenoids are antioxidants that help protect us from the damaging effects of free radicals. This antioxidant is found in the eye, blood serum, skin, cervix, brain and breast.\nThe highest concentrations of lutein are in the macula - the small center of the retina that is responsible for our straight ahead and detailed vision. More specifically lutein is found in the macular pigment. The macular pigment is known to provide protection against macular degeneration and cataracts.\nHealth Benefits of Lutein\nThe benefits of this antioxidant are not just for the macula, this pigment benefits our eyes, our skin and our arteries thanks to it's powerful antioxidant properties that fights free radical damage.\nAn imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants can lead to cellular damage, which is a leading cause of heart disease, many cancers, and aging.\nLutein is found in the eye, blood serum, skin, cervix, brain and breast. The body cannot manufacture it so one must get it through diet or lutein supplements. Free radicals play a significant role in the development of eye cataracts as well as macular degeneration. Lutein is found in\n2) the retina, especially the macular pigment\nOxidation plays a role in the development of cataracts, or the clouding of the lens. Antioxidants are known to protect our cells from the damage that they cause.\nHere is the conclusion of a study that was reported on in January 2008.\nThe prospective observational data from a large cohort of female health professionals reported:\n\"higher dietary intakes of lutein/zeaxanthin and vitamin E from food and supplements were associated with significantly decreased risks of cataract.\"\nArchives of Ophthalmology Vol. 126 No. 1, January 2008\nLutein is an important antioxidant that is found in the macular pigment protecting the eye from damaging ultra violet light.\nCarotenoids are a group of powerful antioxidants that include well known compounds such as:\nalpha-carotene,\nlycopene, and zeaxanthin.\nLutein is a pigment that gives food a red, orange or yellow color. In the dark-green leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach the green chlorophyll will mask the pigment. It is also found in egg yolks.\nHundreds of carotenoids are found in nature, in fact around 600- but only 20 of them are found in the body. We get these carotenoids either from the food we eat or from supplements - the body does not make them.\nCarotenoids are naturally occurring, fat soluble pigments in plants. Because they are fat soluble, they are better absorbed when you include some healthy fat like olive oil with your spinach.\nLutein Rich Foods\nThe only way to take advantage of the antioxidant benefit of this carotenoid is by eating foods that are rich in lutein or through supplementation because the body cannot make it.\nActually this antioxidant is found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, but egg yolks seem to be the best source because they are more bioavailable and better absorbed by the body.\nYellow plant pigments commonly found in yellow and dark green, leafy vegetables may reduce the risk of macular degeneration (AMD), according to a study reported in the September 2007 issue of Archives of Ophthalmology.\nFor more info go to: Foods High In Lutein\nLutein Vitamin\nThis eye healthy antioxidant is found in hundreds of nutritional supplements, from multivitamins to eye care formulas to products containing this carotenoid as the sole ingredient.\nBe sure to read the label to see how much is included in each dose. The macular degeneration vitamin that my husband and I take includes lutein as well as other good macular degeneration antioxidants, like zeaxanthin and bilberry. It uses all natural food sources that help to ensure that the nutrients are absorbed and utilized by the body.\nGo from What is Lutein to Macular Degeneration Prevention\nGo from What is Lutein to WebRN Macular Degeneration Home",

        "raw_content": "Weinstein Hammons Gallery, with the gracious assistance of The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation, is pleased to present ROBERT MAPPLETHORPE\u2019S MINIMALISM, an exhibition of over 25 gelatin silver prints and unique Polaroid photographs.\nROBERT MAPPLETHORPE\u2019S MINIMALISM\nFRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 6:00-8:00PM\nDuring the 1970s, Robert Mapplethorpe became famous for his portraits of artists, socialites, and members of the S&M community. In the 1980s, his work focused on classical formal beauty, concentrating on male and female nudes, flowers, still lifes, and formal portraits. Found frequently and consistently throughout this almost 20 year oeuvre are photographs delineated by spare, pared-down imagery, achieved through tight cropping, an emphasis on formal and organized design, an exploitation of positive and negative space, and lighting to create high contrasts of black and white or monotones in varying shades of grey.\nA photograph from the exhibition of a woman\u2019s long, almost Mannerist, neck and chest or the extended arms and fists of a man leave the viewer wondering what falls outside the frame. In Camera Lucida, Roland Barthes\u2019 short book published in 1980 on the nature and essence of photography, Barthes comments on Mapplethorpe\u2019s use of tight cropping and his photographs\u2019 ability to take \u201cthe spectator outside its frame, and it is there that I animate this photograph and it animates me.\u201d\nIn addition to the over 25 gelatin silver prints on view in this exhibition, the gallery will also present a number of Polaroids from the early 1970s that illustrate these same minimalist concepts. In 1988, Mapplethorpe noted, \u201cEven the earliest Polaroids I took have the same sensibility as the pictures I take now. Right from the beginning, before I knew much about photography, I had the same eyes. When I first started taking pictures the vision was there.\u201d This is the first time Mapplethorpe\u2019s Polaroids will be on view in Minnesota.\nPerhaps one of the most famous and controversial artists to emerge from the late 1970s and 1980s, it is nearly impossible to overestimate the impact of Robert Mapplethorpe's work, both artistically and socially. He was born in 1946 in Floral Park, New York, and earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Mapplethorpe died from AIDS on March 9, 1989, in Boston, at 42. Since that time, his work has been the subject of innumerable exhibitions throughout the world, including major museum traveling retrospectives. His vast, provocative, and powerful body of work has established him as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century.",

        "raw_content": "Jack Bauer to Hunt Down DVD Pirates?\nSometimes a law is passed which tackles incredibly complex issues and causes seismic shifts in entire industries. Unfortunately, nothing like that happened in time for this article. However, early this month President Bush signed into law Senate Bill 3325 \u2013 the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights Act of 2008. This new law amends existing federal intellectual property laws to enhance remedies for violations of intellectual property rights and creates a Cabinet level position to coordinate protection of intellectual property, both domestically and abroad, to promote education and to facilitate criminal prosecution of infringers. This bill was backed heavily by the RIAA, MPAA and other organizations who represent content owners. A summary of the changes implanted by the act are as follows.\nEnhancements to Civil Intellectual Property Laws\nThe first section of Title I of the Act makes some modifications to the requirement that prior to instituting copyright infringement action a plaintiff must have registered the work being infringed. First, the Act limits the registration requirements for civil actions, meaning that the government can pursue criminal copyright infringement actions without the copyright owner having ever filed and obtained a copyright registration for the work being infringed. Second, the Act introduces a harmless error provision to the registration requirement. An infringer can no longer avoid liability if the registration covering the work allegedly infringed contains inaccurate information.\nThe second section of Title I of the Act introduces a new tool for copyright owners combating infringement. Under the newly revised Section 503(a) of the Copyright Act, a court may now impound all of allegedly infringing copies or phonorecords, all plates, molds, masters, and other means or methods of which the allegedly infringing copies or phonorecords were made, and all records documenting the manufacture and sale of the allegedly infringing copies or phonorecords. These new tools were previously only enjoyed by trademark owners who sought to impound counterfeit goods under the Lanham Act.\nThe third and fourth sections of the Act address the civil penalties that may be imposed in counterfeiting cases under the Lanham Act. Section 35(b) of the Lanham Act has been amended to impose treble damages not only against individuals who engage in the sale or distribution of counterfeit goods, but also against those who provide the goods or services necessary for the sale or distribution of counterfeit goods. The Act also doubles statutory damages available under the Lanham act in counterfeiting cases. Now, in cases involving use of a counterfeit mark, the plaintiff is entitled to an award of statutory damages of not less than $1,000 (up from $500) but no more than $200,000 (up from $100,000) per counterfeit mark per type of goods or services sold or distributed. If the court finds that the use of the counterfeit mark was willful, the court may now award up to $2,000,000 (up from $1,000,000) per counterfeit mark per type of goods or services sold or distributed.\nThe Act also amends Section 602 of the Copyright Act which previously addressed the importation of infringing copies or phonorecords. The Act now provides that the importation into the United States, and now the exportation from the United States, of copies or phonorecords which, if sold within the United States would be infringing goods, shall constitute copyright infringement.\nNew Forfeiture Laws\nTitle II of the Act adds a new forfeiture provision for civil and criminal infringement. Under the new forfeiture provisions not only are infringing copies or counterfeit items subject to forfeiture and destruction, but also any property used or intended to be used in any manner to commit or facilitate the infringement. Also subject to forfeiture are the proceeds from the infringing activities. The new forfeiture provision also provides for the forfeiture and destruction of property involved in the unauthorized recording of live musical performances or motion pictures.\nCreation Of An Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator and Budget Appropriations\nTitle III contains the most controversial provision of the Act; the creation of a Cabinet level position to oversee and coordinate the enforcement of intellectual property. The \u201cIP Czar\u201d has quite a job description. This person shall be responsible for coordinating the development of a strategic plan to combat and reduce counterfeit and infringing goods in the domestic and international markets, disrupting and eliminating domestic and international counterfeiting and infringing networks, working with foreign nations to establish international standards and policies for the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights, and taking active steps to protect United States Intellectual Property rights in foreign nations.\nAlso included in the Act are appropriations totaling $275,000,000 ($55,000,000 per fiscal year beginning in 2009 and continuing through 2013) for the Department of Justice and FBI to combat intellectual property infringement. The Department of Justice shall have access to $25,000,000 per year to make grants available to the states and local law enforcement entities for training, prevention, enforcement, and prosecution of intellectual property theft and infringement crimes. The FBI and the Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the DOJ get a total of $30,000,000 per year in appropriations for the investigation and prosecution of intellectual property crimes, including adding 10 additional operational agents of the BBI designated to support the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the Criminal Division of the DOJ in the investigation and coordination of intellectual property crimes; ensuring that at least one FBI agent provides support to the Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Crime Unit in the DOJ for investigating and prosecuting computer hacking or intellectual property crimes; for FBI training in investigating and prosecuting intellectual property crime; and for the assignment of at least two assistant United States attorneys to each United States Attorneys Office who shall be responsible for investigating and prosecuting computer hacking and intellectual property crimes.\nSenator Lahey who sponsored the bill stated that \u201cintellectual property makes up some of the most valuable, and most vulnerable, property we have\u201d and that we \u201cneed to do more to protect it from theft and abuse if we hope to continue being a world leader in innovation.\u201d According to Lahey, the protection of intellectual property has an impact on the U.S. economy. \u201cIf we make better and stronger efforts to combat counterfeiting and piracy\u201d, Lahey stated \u201cwe will also enjoy more jobs, greater returns, productivity, and more taxes being paid rather than having infringers and thieves enjoy the financial gains of wrong doing.\u201d According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) \u201cglobal piracy of copyrighted material costs the U.S. economy $58 billion per year and more than 370,000 jobs and $16 billion in earnings for U.S. workers.\u201d\nAs a lawyer who represents business engaged in the creation and exploitation of copyrighted content and branded products, I concur that intellectual property are incredibly valuable assets and that companies in the content creation and exploitation business contribute significantly to the economy. But given the current economic situation, should the government spend $275,000,000 to help the RIAA and MPAA members combat global privacy? Do we really want Jack Bauer hunting down DVD pirates in China?",

Bush\u2019s service dog, pays his respect to President Bush as he lies in state at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Tuesday. -- Associated Press\nWASHINGTON \u2014 Soldiers, citizens in wheelchairs and long lines of others on foot wound through the hushed Capitol Rotunda on Tuesday to view George H.W. Bush\u2019s casket and remember a president whose legacy included World War military service and a landmark law affirming the rights of the disabled. Bob Dole, a compatriot in war, peace and political struggle, steadied himself out of his wheelchair and saluted his old friend and one-time rival.\n\u201cI\u2019m just here to pay my respects,\u201d said Jane Hernandez, a retired physician in the heavily Democratic city and suburbs. \u201cI wasn\u2019t the biggest fan of his presidency, but all in all he was a good sincere guy doing a really hard job as best he could.\u201d\nBush\u2019s service dog, Sully, was brought to the viewing, too \u2014 his main service these last months since Barbara Bush\u2019s death in April being to rest his head on her husband\u2019s lap. Service dogs are trained to do that.\nIn the midst of the period of mourning, first lady Melania Trump gave Laura Bush, one of her predecessors, a tour of holiday decorations at the White House, a \u201csweet visit during this somber week,\u201d as Mrs. Bush\u2019s Instagram account put it. And the Trumps visited members of the Bush family at the Blair House presidential guesthouse, where they are staying. Former President George W. Bush and his wife greeted the Trumps outside before everyone went in for the private, 20-minute visit.\nThe Bushes later made a surprise visit to the Capitol Rotunda, shaking hands with visitors and tourists lined up to honor the family patriarch.\nGeorge W. and Laura Bush entered first, and the former president put his hand on the flag-draped casket holding the remains of his father. Their twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, followed. Jeb Bush and his wife joined along with about a dozen other members of the Bush family. They mingled for about 10 minutes, at one point George W. Bush held up a baby.\nAlthough President Donald Trump will attend Bush\u2019s national funeral service Wednesday, he is not among the eulogists announced by the Bush family, a list that includes George W. Bush. The others are Alan Simpson, the former senator and acerbic wit from Wyoming; Brian Mulroney, the former Canadian prime minister who also gave a eulogy for Ronald Reagan; and presidential historian Jon Meacham.\nThey were fellow World War II veterans, Republican Party leaders, fierce rivals for the 1988 Republican presidential nomination won by Bush (\u201cStop lying about my record,\u201d Dole snapped at Bush) and skilled negotiators. Dole, an Army veteran hit by German machine gunfire in Italy, has gone through life with a disabled right arm. Bush, a Navy pilot, survived a bail-out from his stricken aircraft over the Pacific and an earlier crash landing.\nAfter services in Washington, Bush\u2019s remains will be returned to Houston to lie in repose at St. Martin\u2019s Episcopal Church before burial Thursday at his family plot on the presidential library grounds at Texas A&M University in College Station. His final resting place will be alongside Barbara Bush, his wife of 73 years who died in April, and Robin Bush, the daughter they lost to leukemia in 1953 at age 3.\nBush\u2019s death reduces membership in the ex-presidents\u2019 club to four: Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.",

        "raw_content": "Bible Verses About Death: 20 Comforting Scriptures Quotes\nOne of the most difficult things to deal with in life is the death of a loved one. Even for the Christian, death is a part of life. Unlike they that do not believe, the Christian has a blessed hope \u2013 that is the return of the Savior Jesus to catch up His Church and bring them to eternal life with Him and God the Father in Heaven. Here are some scripture quotes about death that I hope will comfort you .\nAs He Promised, He Will Do\nJohn 14:1-4 \u201cLet not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father\u2019s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.\u201d\n2 Corinthians 5:6-8 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.\n1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.\n1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.\nBecause of Calvary, We Live\n2 Samuel 12:23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.\u201d (King David speaking of his infant son who died)\nJohn 11:23-26 Jesus said to her, \u201cYour brother will rise again.\u201d Martha said to him, \u201cI know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.\u201d Jesus said to her, \u201cI am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?\u201d\n1 Corinthians 15:54-57 When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: \u201cDeath is swallowed up in victory.\u201d \u201cO death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?\u201d The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.\nPhilippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.\nIn His Time, He Will Do\n1 Corinthians 15:20-23 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.\nPhilippians 1:23-24 I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.\n1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God\u2019s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.\n1 John 3:1-2 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God\u2019s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.\nRevelation 21:1-4 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, \u201cBehold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.\u201d\nSafe In His Arms, Now and Forever\nPsalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,\nJohn 10:27-29 \u201cMy sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father\u2019s hand.\u201d (Jesus speaking)\nRomans 14:8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord\u2019s.\nRevelation 14:13 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\nChristian Quotes About Death\n\u201cThey that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.\u201d ~ Williams Penn\n\u201cWhen the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God\u2019s love.\u201d ~ Charles H. Spurgeon\n\u201cIt is better for me to die in behalf of Jesus Christ, than to reign over all the ends of the earth.\u201d ~ Ignatius of Antioch\n\u201cHe whose head is in heaven need not fear to put his feet into the grave.\u201d ~ Matthew Henry\n\u201cHas this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.\u201d ~ C.S. Lewis\n15 Comforting Bible Verses For Funerals\n20 Bible Verses About Prayer\nwww.youtube.com \u2013 \u201cI Will Rise\u201d- Chris Tomlin\nTagged as: Bible Quotes, Bible Verses, Bible Verses by Topic, death, dying, Heaven, Hope\nEveni Levi February 7, 2015 at 9:28 pm\nHi author great stuff!, author said that Christianity is not a one week thing! it\u2019s a daily thing, Christianity is a minute to minute, hour to hour thing! always repenting when the mind doesn\u2019t line up with \u201cGOD\u201ds. Praise \u201cGOD\u201d!, scripture says Praise \u201cHIM\u201d now!! while we stand strong!, for when we hit the gravesite its too late, Praise \u201cHIM\u201d in prosperity so that were not ashamed to seek \u201cHIS\u201d face when snares and perils are amongst us. \u201cGBTG\u201d Gloryb2\u2033GOD\u201d\ncarolyn lee hamala August 25, 2015 at 11:48 pm\ni am finding all the information something I want to learn more about. Absolutely everything I saw I want to read. I am going to try and get a lot of it printed out\u2026 My husband is stage 4 cancer and we have so much going on in our lives at this point. We pray that we aren\u2019t going to need a lot of the things that you talk about in this but I am wanting to learn it all.\nDavid Roche December 1, 2015 at 11:44 pm\nCarolyn, you are loved, and we are praying for you, that God\u2019s will be done in your life. Run to Him. He will not disappoint. My dad has cancer. I have watched it break his body, but never his spirit. Christ is ours, and we are His. Let us look to Him.\nErika J Hubbard January 28, 2016 at 11:02 pm\nMy 24 year old passed away in a tragic motorcycle accident in August 2015. My mother passed away in January 2014. I never experienced such hurt and pain. The lost of a child however, can only be explained by those who\u2019ve gone through such. I\u2019m reading God\u2019s word, praying and seeking Him like never before. I\u2019ve always believed in God, His word and what shall come. What I\u2019ve read from these articles have really blessed me.\njulie cannegieter April 8, 2016 at 11:38 pm\nI enjoyed reading the verses . They were comforting. I lost my husband in a motorcycle accident in 1991. I turned to God for quite awhile learning to be closer to him and to hear that small voice in my heart I prayed eventually for a good husband and it took a little while but God helped me find the right man.\nDuane J Witherspoon April 10, 2016 at 4:30 am\nMy twin sister is in stage 4 colon cancer and I have PulmonaryFibrosis.We\u2019re 67 right now.We both are saved and love the Lord. I\u2019ve read these scriptures before,but when they become something you\u2019re looking at they take on a whole new meaning. It\u2019s comforting to know God\u2019s Promises and His Word.And to know He\u2019s Faithful. So however He works it out with us, I believe we are both going to see each other again. That\u2019s the conciliation through the pain and hurt of the possible loss. Of course you think about your children, Grandchildren, siblings and other family. Our prayer is that the unsaved ones will get saved, study the word and be obedient to Jesus\u2019s commands. We would appreciate your prayers. Be blessed in Jesus name!\nMapaballo July 28, 2016 at 1:31 pm\nI am speechlesss! The qoutes are v comforting thank you\n1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 says that the \u201cdead in Christ will rise first\u201d. But, you say that the moment we die, we go to be with the God. I\u2019m not sure I understand. Can you clarify?\nThank you Charlie. That verse corresponds to Jesus return but if you die before that happens, you are with the Lord. Make sense?\nmy brother passed into glory and my family believe that he has visited them during their worst periods of grieving and continues to visit and it has now been 8 months. I do not believe this, I think perhaps angels have visited? What scripture can I read about this subject?\nJack Wellman October 17, 2016 at 10:00 pm\nThank you Sharon. There is no absolutely no biblical evidence that a person can come back from being with the Lord to visit family. Angels do not do such things, even once, in the Bible.\nFarid October 21, 2016 at 5:23 pm\nThank you for the bible verses, I needed this right now. Praise Jesus the son of God almighty!\nI have a dear elderly friend who is dying with terminal cancer. I need some encouraging words of scripture to give to him, but don\u2019t know what is appropriate to give. He is a believer in Jesus Christ.\nJack Wellman February 4, 2017 at 6:01 pm\nI am sorry this heartache my friend. Why not use these in the article David? There are 20 Scriptures that are just for this occasion sir. I hope they help.\nJamel Fletcher February 10, 2017 at 10:56 am\nThis is really comforting to know. I am looking for ways to resassure, comfort and support my mother whose mother (my grand mother) who\u2019s not really on her death bed so to speak, but has been sick off and on since 2009. She is now in a nursing home and she has suffered another stroke. My mom whom I consider to be a woman of faith at times let\u2019s it waiver and her flesh gets the best of her. I\u2019m trying to get her to a place of understanding that it\u2019s ok to be at peace with this and the only reason I feel that she is still hanging on is because she (my grandmother) is waiting for her 7 children to be at peace with her going home to be with the Lord. In the weeks since this comment she has stopped eating. She signed a form stating that she did not want to be on a feeding tube and she also has a DNR. She is/has been really suffering for the last 8 years, and it\u2019s not getting any better, and my mom and her siblings just can\u2019t see it. Some of them even go so far as to say it\u2019s all in her head and she\u2019s FAKING! Now, bear in mind my grandmother is only 74 years old, and this is no accident her ending up in this position. It\u2019s years of misinformation, stubbornness, blatant ignorance of her generation, and just absolute down right refusal to to right and take care of herself. I\u2019m really in prayer for my mom and her siblings that they can come to terms with her condition and allow her to go peacefully when she\u2019s ready.\nCarlos Barralaga February 14, 2017 at 12:16 pm\nThe Lord told my grandmother that she will be cured from her cancer that she has had for eight years, from this day. All of my family believe it is time for her to go but if God told her she will be cured, I have to believe her right? Do you have any advice for me? Should I believe my family.\nHello Mr. Barralaga. The Bible never promises everyone will be healed. The Apostle Paul prayed three times and God said His grace was sufficient. What troubles me about this is that they should be praying for God\u2019s will. What if your grandmother wants to go home to be with the Lord. Should we pray, God keep our grandma here and heal her, when God wants to answer her prayer to end her pain, suffering, and the pains of old age. God does not speak to us through others, perhaps a pastor in a sermon, but this is how God speaks to us: In His written Word, the Bible, otherwise, these people who are speaking for God are basically saying, \u201cThus says the Lord\u201d and that is a very dangerous place to be for them. The Bible says, \u201cIn the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by His Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe\u201d (Heb 1:1-2). Even the Lord\u2019s prayer mentions over and over to \u201cpray for they will be done on earth as it is in heaven\u201d and not \u201cour will on earth without knowing God\u2019s will in heaven.\u201d Do not believe them. Trust God. God knows the day of our death and no man does. Stand firm on the Word my brother. SOme of the worst persecution comes from those who have this \u201cWord from God.\u201d\nJoseph M. Butler August 9, 2017 at 6:37 am\nMy wife was taken to be with the Lord on January 3, 2017, after battling cancer for over three years. We were married for almost 39 years and losing her was, and is, the most painful event that has ever happened in my life. My mother, who was living with us, had died in February of 2014, the same month that we found out my wife\u2019s cancer, after surgery, had spread. There is no comfort in this world that has alleviated my pain, except the comfort of God\u2019s Word. Thank you for spreading the Word that will comfort others, if they only accept Christ. Praise God for His Son Jesus Christ, who is \u201cthe Way, the Truth, and the Life\u201d.\nRhonda Dobraski February 26, 2018 at 8:04 am\nMy brother passed away on February 16th 2018 it was his birthday, he was fighting cancer with a brain tumor. We are having our on family and friends gathering at the park that our family has always gathered at. I\u2019mtrying to figure out comforting words to say to everyone in plain English, because not all of them are serving the Lord. Please give me some suggestions on this. Thank you\nI am so sorry for your loss. I would say that it is not goodbye for those who trusted in Christ because they will see him again, but for those who have not yet repented and believed, it is goodbye. You can comfort the Christians among you with this verse: \u201cBut we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope\u201d (1 Thess 4:13) but cannot comfort those who don\u2019t know Christ. Just tell them that he\u2019s not dead but with the Lord and leave it at that. It is hard to comfort those not serving the Lord.\nDicky Tampubolon March 26, 2018 at 5:34 pm\nI still dont see when we die now where we go though?\nHello JJ. Here is something you can read that might help you and I pray it does. Thank you my friend. https://www.whatchristianswanttoknow.com/what-happens-right-after-you-die/\nA friend of mine just found out that her 8 month old daughter (in foster care temporarily) was mauled and killed by a dog hours after a scheduled visit. She is in treatment to get her daughter back but now will never see her again in this life. Please help me with some good news to give her that she can understand in good from the bad. Or words of comfort. This just happened a few hours ago.\nAbby A. December 29, 2018 at 9:37 am\nMy husband passed away on Christmas morning, 12-25-2018, leaving his 4 year old son and 17 year old daughter and myself to mourn his death. These verses have brought peace into my heart knowing he is with the Lord and suffering no more. I know now to celebrate his life on earth. He was well loved and a kind and caring man. It is well within my soul. We will be with him again one day\nPrevious post: Can a Christian Lose Their Salvation? A Biblical Analysis\nNext post: 7 Spiritual Growth Tips",

        "title": "Pittsburgh Pirates\u2019 Jordy Mercer on Amazing Walk (with the Lord)",
        "raw_content": "Pittsburgh Pirates\u2019 Jordy Mercer on Amazing Walk (with the Lord)\nJordy Mercer, shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates, experienced \u201cencounters\u201d with the Lord growing up. He was always active and involved in Sunday School classes, worship services, and vacation Bible school, each helping him experience the Lord in His Word and understanding what it means to be a Christian. Mercer remembers being baptized at age 12. \u201cI remember reaching out to the Lord and asking Jesus to come into my heart, and my life began to slowly change.\u201d Jordy continues, \u201cI remember my pastor, Rev. Bob Johnson, from Taloga Christian Church in Taloga, Oklahoma, coming to our home a couple of nights before being baptized. He had a couple of questions to ask: are you 100% committed to follow the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? Are you ready to invite him into your heart? I replied \u2018absolutely, without a doubt, 100% sure.\u2019 It seemed everything was in the right place. Since then, it has been an amazing walk (with the Lord), and I continue to try to get closer to Him each day.\u201d\nPirates manager, Clint Hurdle, commented, \u201cJordy\u2019s walk with the Lord is special and significant. He is a man of action and very intentional. He\nPirates manager, Clint Hurdle, commented, \u201cJordy\u2019s walk with the Lord is special and significant. He is a man of action and very intentional.\nholds himself well in public life. He pours into his family which is where I have seen his greatest growth. I have watched him go from dating his girlfriend, to marrying his girlfriend who is now his wife and a mother. He is a husband and a daddy to three boys. Fantastic! Jordy has a servant\u2019s heart in the clubhouse. He plays the game right with respect and honor. Really, in his own way, he keeps his light lit for Jesus all the time.\u201d\nMercer grew up in Taloga, Oklahoma, in western Oklahoma, with his parents, Rick and Tammy Mercer, and older sister, Randi. Taloga has a population of about 300. Jordy had seven graduating classmates in the class of 2005. He grew up on a farm and loved it, and he tries to get back as often as possible to help on the farm and spend time with his family. He shares, \u201cIt was fun growing up in a small town. You know everyone and the atmosphere is more relaxed. I was just blessed to be in a small community like that. People still support me and my career. My friends still contact me and stay in touch. My parents relay messages to me from folks back home. It is cool to grow up in a neat community like Taloga.\u201d\n\u201cYou Can Stay Firm\u201d\nJordy has a \u201cwalk-up\u201d song played before each home at bat. The group \u201cThe Roostz\u201d was on the Jimmy Fallon show when he heard the song \u201cThe Fire\u201d. \u201cI chose this song because it is a pump-up song and gets me going as I get into the batter\u2019s box.\u201d Jordy has a \u201cgo to\u201d verse that he takes wherever he goes: Psalms 16:8: \u201cFor I know the Lord is always with me; I will not be shaken for He is always beside me.\u201d This verse is relevant when it comes to baseball. Mercer explains, \u201cNo matter how good or how bad you do, you can stay firm because the Lord is beside you. He will take care of you. I believe Philippians 4:13 is a great verse also, but I always go back to Psalms 16:8 in times of need. I always keep that verse around me, in my phone, my locker, my Bible, places where it is easy to find anytime. It is always a good reminder.\u201d\nMercer has found that Christ has changed the way he looks at things. He looks at more positives now, and he sees there is so much more to life. \u201cAs baseball players,\u201d comments Mercer, \u201cthis is a tough business. I related it to a player who goes through ups and downs on the field and having to be away from family. I find having Christ by my side helps me keep a positive outlook. I know everything is going to be fine\u201d.\u201d He continues, \u201cChrist has been the One who gave me the blessing (talent) to use it the best I possibly can. For me, it is staying positive and continuing to believe it will be fine. It is all in His hands. We are not in control; it is all His. I have given everything to the Lord, and He will take care of it in His own way.\u201d\n\u201cNeed More Seasoning\u201d\nTaloga, being a small community, only had baseball in the fall and spring and basketball in the winter because of the small enrollment. Most baseball players played on the basketball team. During Jordy\u2019s senior year, the basketball team was pretty good and went on a run. He was a starter who played different positions, and the team played well. The run took them all the way to state which in Jordy\u2019s words, was \u201ca pretty cool experience.\u201d Jordy earned All-State honors in high school in baseball. His junior year Taloga won the state championship. The Los Angeles Dodgers drafted him in the 26th round (796th overall) of the 2005 major league baseball draft but he did not sign. He felt he needed more \u201cseasoning.\u201d\nJordy received a scholarship to play baseball at Oklahoma State University at Stillwater which is in the Big 12 Conference. He claims it was some of the \u201cbest three years of his life.\u201d College helped him grow to be a professional baseball player. He went to OSU to up his game. Mercer was a shortstop and a pitcher as the role of a closer. When he left, he held the OSU record for saves. However, it was his \u201cglove and stick\u201d that got him on the Big 12 All-Star team in 2006 and 2008. \u201cI got some Big 12 honors, but I am more of a \u2018team first\u2019 guy. I would not be where I am today if not for my teammates.\u201d Mercer competed for the United States in the 2007 and 2011 Pan American games, winning silver in both. He also competed in the 2011 Baseball World Cup.\nThe Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Mercer in the third round (79th overall) in the 2008 major league draft as a shortstop. Mercer was brought up to the parent club on May 29, 2012, and made his first major league appearance May 30, 2012, getting his first major league hit the same day. He has been a regular on the roster since 2014.\nOklahoma State is a special place in his heart because it was there he met his wife, Kasey, between his sophomore and junior years. Jordy shares, \u201cI was friends with one of Kasey\u2019s best friends (Joli) on Facebook, and I had seen pictures of Kasey on Joli\u2019s Facebook. I was intrigued with Kasey, and I thought she was most attractive. I reached out to Joli to ask her to help me meet Kasey. I was told Kasey had a boyfriend at the time, but I told Joli I really want to meet Kasey.\u201d Jordy continues, \u201cMy roommate and I planned a get together at our house, and I asked Joli to bring Kasey. Kasey had recently broken up with her boyfriend, and Joli got Kasey to come. It was love at first sight for me, but Kasey played a little hard to get because she was not yet sold on me. I had to work hard to win her affection, but it was worth the effort.\u201d\nSoon, Jordy and Kasey began hanging out together that later led to dating. They made it official when they started wedding plans. They were married January 16, 2010, in Edmond, Oklahoma, and they are now parents of three boys, Maverick (6), Maddon (3), and Manning (1). \u201cI have been super blessed, and she is the glue that keeps the family together.\u201d Jordy was an education major and Kasey received a degree in apparel merchandise.\nTeammate, Josh Harrison, shares, \u201cI was traded to Pittsburgh in 2009 while in the minor leagues. Jordy was my first friend, and he literally took me in. I slept on his pullout couch. That shows you the type of heart he has. He did not know me nor I of him, but he knew I was new to the organization. He opened his home for me to stay. We have been good friends ever since. Seeing how he has grown in his walk is encouraging. We have seen each other from the time we were both single, to now being married and having multiple kids who know each other. It has been a blessing to play next to him for these years, and we try to keep each other accountable.\u201d\nJordy\u2019s most important mission field to witness to is his family. \u201cI always send my wife the daily quote or Bible verse of the day. We are more involved with our kids and lead them to Christ as early as possible.\nJordy\u2019s most important mission field to witness to is his family. \u201cI always send my wife the daily quote or Bible verse of the day. We are more involved with our kids and lead them to Christ as early as possible. We want them growing up knowing their home is a \u2018Christ centered\u2019 household. We pray with them, read Bible stories and take them to church and its programs. As a dad, you can\u2019t wait to share Christ with them.\u201d The Mercers make their off-season home in Edmond, Oklahoma, and they attend Crossings Church in Oklahoma City with Pastor Marty Grubbs. Kasey grew up in this church, and Jordy and Kasey and the kids love it there with the many programs for the kids and Bible studies for them.\nThe most recent public witness he participated in happened at the Pirates\u2019 Faith Night after a game at PNC Park. Clint Hurdle was a key person who helped start Faith Night in Pittsburgh. \u201cIt was our fifth year to have Faith Night at PNC Park, and the crowds have grown every year. This year Josh Harrison and I shared our faith journey with the fans. It was an opportunity for me to use baseball as a platform and reach out.\u201d Jordy also uses social media to share Scripture and quotes to help those who might be having a bad day or need uplifting.\nPirates chaplain, Rev. Brad Henderson, shares, \u201cJordy continues to be a strong spiritual leader for the Pirates. He did a fantastic job when he shared his faith journey with 15,000 fans at Faith Night in July (2018).\u201d\nPeople will always face struggles in life, even professional athletes. The struggles could be personal temptations or being away from family. The athletes also have struggles in their game. \u201cBaseball is a hard game to play, and you have people criticizing your game. One day you are doing the best you cans, and the next day you are not very good. For me, I must stay positive and stay focused while knowing everything is going to be fine.\u201d\nJordy Mercer\u2019s personal relationship with Christ has kept him strong in the faith. He shares, \u201cAs I have grown older I have grown closer to God. I know having Jesus Christ in my heart, no matter my mistakes and whatever happens in any situation, He will always have my back, He will always take care of me and He will lead me in the right direction.\u201d\nBy Bruce A.

        "raw_content": "Get the Tools You Need to Become a Successful Student!\nThe whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning\".\n- Jiddu Krishnamurti, Philosophical and Spiritual Writer and Speaker.\nLEARN HOW TO LEARN YOUR WAY\nFor some people, standard tasks that look easy for others can be confusing. This might happen because they learn differently and can't make connections the same way other people do. These same people might do really well if they were taught differently, but if they make repeated efforts in a way that doesn't work for them it's likely they will become discouraged and give up.\nSo what is it that causes some people to struggle with tasks that seem easy for most people? Well the answer is . . . . . a lot of things. People learn in different ways. Some people learn by association, that is by making a connection to something that is meaningful to them, some learn by seeing, some learn by hearing and some learn by doing. Different teaching methods work for different learners. When information is presented in a way that is meaningful, it can help people to make a connection in their minds. When we \"get it\" that we want to d improvemake success possible.\nLearning curves are another barrier to learning. Everyone has to push through learning curves, but when someone experiences repeated disappointments they might tend to believe that things are easier for other people. In reality we can't possibly know what something is like for someone else. So when it comes to thinking that you'll never \"get it\" don't give up! Don't give up on the whole idea!Instead, throw out what hasn't worked for you in the past and try new ways to learn until you find what works for you!\nGet the Help You Need to Succeed\nDover Adult Learning Center offers many programs to help you get the knowledge and skills you need to become successfull in a career and life.

It's a misconception to believe that doing something well just comes naturally to others. Most people have to work at something before they become good at it. True, there are times when something is easier for someone else, but that isn't usually the case and there are a lots of reasons why one person might not have to work as hard as another. Establishing good habits and routines can go along way in increasing the likelihood of success. Being prepared can eliminate a lot of problems and also lead to better results. Each little success helps to build confidence and improve self esteem, which are underlying supports that we aren't always aware of.\nThe following sites can help you to master the skills necessary to become a good student\nStudy Guides and Services is an independent, learner-centric educational public service.\nwww.studygs.net/metacognition.htm\nLearn How to Learn is a website that is full of helpful information as well as links to other sites. http://www.howtolearn.com/\nLearning How to Learn on Coursera https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn\nhttps://www.verywell.com/great-ways-to-improve-your-memory-2795356\nAttitude Magazine is a great source of free information for helping you child be successful in school.

There is also a newsletter you can sign up for that will help you advocate for your child\nhttps://www.additudemag.com\nSTRESS AND THE EFFECT ON LEARNING\nUnder repeated stress, an individual\u2019s stress hormones are continuously activated, keeping the person in a constant state of wariness and making it hard to concentrate or make good decisions. Malfunctions in this stress system can result in chronic depression. But brain researchers are currently looking at ways to prevent or even reverse such disruptions.\nUnder repeated stress, an individual\u2019s stress hormones are continuously activated, keeping the person in a constant state of wariness and making it hard to concentrate or make good decisions. Self-talk is a good way to calm yourself down when you feel stress creeping up. Ask yourself if there are other ways that you could see the stressful situation. Try to bring yourself above an imaginary stress line by finding things about the situation that helps you to see things in a better way.\nGCF Learn Free.org\nThis is my favorite free learning site.

        "raw_content": "Smart tools for monitoring soil carbon changes\nBy dr. ir. VL (Titia) Mulder\nThere is a need to monitor changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) over time for climate change mitigation and land quality assessment (e.g. for land degradation analyses and food security). Monitoring of SOC is essential when verifying, reporting and monitoring carbon stocks (VRM). The first two are addressed by various techniques and methodologies, the latter is more difficult to do on a large scale. Easy to use, low cost applications would simplify the verification, reporting and monitoring of carbon stocks, examples include the use of smartphone pictures and SCiO sensors. This capacity development is done within the framework of various research initiatives, such the Global Soil Partnership and the \u20184 per mille Initiative: Soils for Food Security and Climate\u2019.\nAt our group, we collaborate with various institutes (e.g. ISRIC World Data Center for Soils and CSIRO Australia) to develop smart tools for verifying, reporting and monitoring soil carbon changes using proximal soil sensing techniques. We will continue with these developments and collaborations and we have various possibilities for students to work on this topic. They can work with proximal soil sensing techniques in the field or in the laboratory and contribute to the development of smart proximal soil sensing applications. Research results are foreseen in toolboxes, scientific papers and project proposals to start new PhD projects.\n\u00b7 Viscarra Rossel, R.A., T. Behrens, E. Ben-Dor, D.J. Brown, J.A.M.

        "raw_content": "Roller derby picks up momentum in the Triad\nWomen\u2019s roller derby is picking up speed -- in more ways than one -- in the Triad.The women behind the Greensboro Roller Derby league are athletes who are tough as nails -- but also have a heart of gold.The league and its skaters are outspoken about their desire to support a number of charity organizations, including the National Conference for Community and Justice of the Piedmont Triad (NCCJ), Youth Focus, Unchaining Greensboro and The Arc of Greensboro, by collecting donations at their matchups.Just this year, the league, which was founded in 2010, earned its nonprofit, 501(c)(3) status.On the track, hours of work and determination go into the full-contact sport for the women who play at both recreationally and competitively levels under the rules established by the Women's Flat Track Derby Association.\u201cNone of it is choreographed,\u201d said Shanna Buster, the league\u2019s president who goes by \u201cBuster Vicious\u201d on the track. \u201cIt\u2019s live action as it's happening. It\u2019s really intense.\u201dBuster grew up speed skating, and joined the Greensboro league four years ago.At Greensboro, every league member plays on one of the home teams -- which are named after popular local streets -- the Battleground Betties, Elm Street Nightmares and Mad Dollies. The three teams play against each other throughout the season in about six intraleague matchups, or \u201cbouts,\u201d as the sport calls them.Greensboro also has two travel teams, who make several out-of-town trips throughout the year. Skaters are also encouraged to practice as many as three times of week at a warehouse off of I-40 in eastern Greensboro. The final bout of the season is Saturday in Savannah, Georgia, where the A team, the Gate City All-Stars, will skate against the Derby Devil All-Stars. Counterstrike, the league\u2019s B team, will skate against the Hostess City Hellions.The league\u2019s A team is the league\u2019s charter team, and plays other WFTDA teams throughout the United States and internationally to compete for international rankings points with the goal of achieving as high ranking as possible. There are more than 300 Women's Flat Track Derby Association teams worldwide. Skaters on the Greensboro travel teams must vie for their spots on the roster through a tryout process.Members of the Greensboro league have diverse passions, backgrounds and occupations -- including college students, young professionals, wives, mothers and grandmothers -- but they come together for fitness and competition.\u201cI think it\u2019s an empowering thing ... for younger girls to come and see what\u2019s possible,\u201d said MaryAnn \u201cCarnegie Brawl\u201d Kozikowski, who is one of the league\u2019s founding members.One of Greensboro\u2019s standout skaters, Victoria \u201cButternut Squasher\u201d Meeks, will play in the 2018 Roller Derby World Cup for Team Philippines in Manchester, England. The competition will be held in early February.There\u2019s a spectrum of ages among the women who play for Greensboro.Skaters must be 18 years old to participate, but the oldest skaters in the league are in their early to mid 50s. \u201cI would like for people to know that they can do anything they want to do,\u201d said Connie \u201cBurn Notice\u201d Uselman, who turned 50 years old this year. \u201cThey just have put the skates on and get out there, do it. They may fall and they may fail, but they need to get right back up and do it again and they will succeed.\u201dAll body types are accepted, too. From petite to full-figured, the only requirement to join is the ability to skate.Interested skaters can take part in a four-month training program, dubbed \u201cFresh Meat,\u201d to learn the basics before they join a team.As a full-contact sport, injuries are common and it\u2019s mentally straining for players. However, the interest in the sport, which is played on a flat, oval track, continues to grow in the Triad and around the world.In WFTDA leagues, play is broken up into two 30-minute periods, and within those periods, into units of play called \u201cjams,\u201d which last up to two minutes. There are 30 seconds between each jam.During a jam, each team fields up to five skaters. Four of these skaters are called \u201cblockers,\u201d and one is called a \u201cjammer.\u201d The jammer wears a helmet cover with a star on it.The two jammers start each jam behind the pack, and score a point for every opponent they lap, each lap. Because they start behind the pack, they must get through the pack, then all the way around the track to be ready to score points on opposing blockers.Skaters cannot use their heads, elbows, forearms, hands, knees, lower legs or feet to make contact to opponents. Skaters also cannot make contact to opponents\u2019 heads, backs, knees, lower legs or feet.Play that is unsafe or illegal may result in a skater being assessed a penalty, which is served by sitting in the penalty box for 30 seconds of jam time.The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.Skaters said there are still some misconceptions of the sport from what was portrayed on television as roller derby in past decades.\u201cThe athleticism has really increased and people don\u2019t realize that because they haven\u2019t seen derby other than what they\u2019ve seen on TV 20, 30 years ago,\u201d said Buster, 39, who plays on the Gate City All-Stars traveling team and coaches the B team, Counterstrike.Roller derby began its modern revival in the early 2000s and continues to pick up phenomenon across the United States and the world.Earlier this week, the WFTDA announced that for the first time ever that women\u2019s flat track roller derby will appear on network television, further solidifying the expansion of the sport founded in 2004 by the WFTDA.The first place game of the 2017 International WFTDA Championships hosted by Philly Roller Derby in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is scheduled to air on ESPN2 on Sunday, Nov. 5 -- and that is something the women who play for Greensboro feel proud about.\nWomen\u2019s roller derby is picking up speed -- in more ways than one -- in the Triad.\nThe women behind the Greensboro Roller Derby league are athletes who are tough as nails -- but also have a heart of gold.\nThe league and its skaters are outspoken about their desire to support a number of charity organizations, including the National Conference for Community and Justice of the Piedmont Triad (NCCJ), Youth Focus, Unchaining Greensboro and The Arc of Greensboro, by collecting donations at their matchups.\nJust this year, the league, which was founded in 2010, earned its nonprofit, 501(c)(3) status.\nOn the track, hours of work and determination go into the full-contact sport for the women who play at both recreationally and competitively levels under the rules established by the Women's Flat Track Derby Association.\n\u201cNone of it is choreographed,\u201d said Shanna Buster, the league\u2019s president who goes by \u201cBuster Vicious\u201d on the track. \u201cIt\u2019s live action as it's happening.

Skaters also cannot make contact to opponents\u2019 heads, backs, knees, lower legs or feet.\nPlay that is unsafe or illegal may result in a skater being assessed a penalty, which is served by sitting in the penalty box for 30 seconds of jam time.\nThe team with the most points at the end of the game wins.\nSkaters said there are still some misconceptions of the sport from what was portrayed on television as roller derby in past decades.\n\u201cThe athleticism has really increased and people don\u2019t realize that because they haven\u2019t seen derby other than what they\u2019ve seen on TV 20, 30 years ago,\u201d said Buster, 39, who plays on the Gate City All-Stars traveling team and coaches the B team, Counterstrike.\nRoller derby began its modern revival in the early 2000s and continues to pick up phenomenon across the United States and the world.\nEarlier this week, the WFTDA announced that for the first time ever that women\u2019s flat track roller derby will appear on network television, further solidifying the expansion of the sport founded in 2004 by the WFTDA.\nThe first place game of the 2017 International WFTDA Championships hosted by Philly Roller Derby in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is scheduled to air on ESPN2 on Sunday, Nov. 5 -- and that is something the women who play for Greensboro feel proud about.",

        "title": "WINNERS | YouFab Global Creative Awards 2015",
        "raw_content": "YouFab Global Creative Awards\nThe winning works will be displayed at FabCafe Tokyo from January 23rd to February 8th, 2016.\nJUDGES\u2019COMMENTS\nBy Asuka Miyata\uff08Japan\uff09\nBy MESH project\uff08Japan\uff09\nBy More Than Human\uff08Japan\uff09\nGrowing Objects \u2013 3D printed zoetropes\nFLUX Delta \u2013 All-in-One 3D Printer\nBy Shih Wei Chieh\uff08Taiwan\uff09\nSFC associate professor /\nI had written that the judges hoped to see entries that were less than ordinary and that really showcased that they were made with 3D printers and laser cutters, but the entries that we have seen have blown all my expectations out of the water! Here are some of my thoughts after completing the judging.\n1. The allure of Fab is that it brings difference things together and mixes them or throws them together, and through the medium of Fab unexpected things (things that you usually wouldn\u2019t see together or complete opposites or contradictory objects) are brought together and that is what makes it interesting. We have wrestled with the contradictions and channeled them into another dimension, almost like a holistic power of parts, and I think it is that leap of expression where we find the spotlight on creativity.\n2. With Fab, in order to create new expressions, we should not [MS1] separate the actual practice of design from the technology R&D side of things, and because of this I believe that small design engineering firms that employ an array of professionals in varying fields will play a greater role in the Fab process moving forward. I think that the future of Fab lies in the creativity of small team, and not in the hands of large firms or individual creators. Incidentally, I think that [MS2] FabLabs or other Fab facilities no longer represent a place to use fab machines, but are a place to search for team members to work with.\n3. The starting line for Fab is often an experiment. And for the project to take off, there needs to be some kind of poeticism or storytelling behind it. This is not the kind of fictitious story concocted by advertising agencies, but a story that spontaneously develops as the project unfolds or that flows out from within the project itself. I believe that these original and true-life stories (the behind the scenes stories) are what lie at the core of Fab. The work we are doing over at http://fabble.cc/ also is driven by a similar interest.\nThe above-mentioned points deeply reflect my take on Fab, but I also think these points demonstrate how Fab is different from the way we have created in general and produced works of art to date. I hope that we can continue to move beyond the desire to just make something or to just use digital fabrication tools to pursue Fab that delves deeply into the meaning and significance of things like we have seen here.\nFab is like a testing ground that goes beyond corporations and individuals but also brings together art, design, craft, science and technology, industries and academia. It is also safe to say that we are moving toward a future where the spirit of the Fab movement\u2014anyone can be a hacker\u2014lives on. This year, the level and quality of the entries have been less outstanding compared to last year. For the judging, we were pretty much in agreement about the Grand Prize and First Prize, but we were not unanimous about the remaining finalists. As a result, there are four entries being awarded with Judges\u2019 Special Prize this year, and this also is a reflection of the diversity of entries we have seen. Many of the winning entries are from the Machine category this year (including MESH. I also liked the FLUX All-in-one 3D Printer), and in the Art category there were only a few entries that demonstrated outstanding technology as well as potential to expand on the concept or practical applications (of the entries, some of the more unique projects included Knit the Town and Artifacts). As the Fab scene continues to expand, I hope that the spirit of Fab is not internalized or does not become something that we no longer consciously think about.\nRhizomatiks /\nCreative&Technical Director\nI have had the honor of being a judge for YouFab for the last two years and I have been noticing this year that so many things have[MS3] changed in the field of Fab. I think last year we saw the emergence of new components and materials being used in novel ways to make innovative new artworks and products. In 2015, we are seeing these new method of creating taken to a new level when people think about how to use objects effectively or how they can incorporate things into their daily lives, and it is not just about being new. I also see people thinking about how they can make new things using one method from the various Fab technologies available. I think we can see these trends in our entries this year. I can feel the energy and potential that is being created from people spending many hours focusing on one method alone and really getting to know every in and out of it. This year I was a judge again, but I would once again like to return to my roots as an individual creator and try my hand at making something with everyone around the world.\nThank you to YouFab Global Creative Awards and all its participants for letting me get to know so many interesting projects. Congratulations to all of you. This edition of YouFab 2015 has gathered a wide array of greatly varied projects. The key to the special interest of this contest is probably that precise aspect. Exposing artistic and technical projects on the same platform helps to understand that, in the future, different professional disciplines will be mixed together even more. In this respect, I will recommend to each participant that they review the results of the other participants in order to seek alliances in for future possible projects. The YouFab 2015 is over, but we will all continue to project, and aside from the authors of awarded projects each attendant who finds new projects and allies thanks to his or her participation in YouFab 2015 will have won a very valuable prize.\nIs this the year that 3D-printed fashion has finally arrived? Judging by the number of submissions received in this year's YouFab competition that would be a resounding yes. From automated textile machines to custom jewellery and hacked accessories, there was no shortage of new ideas that fused design, technology and fashion in imaginative and creative ways. Rather than trying to re-invent the wheel however, the highest quality projects stood out with their levels of sophistication and refinement. Perhaps this is inevitable as the technologies and tools themselves are now maturing. But it also makes a strong case to look more into fashion, visual arts, architecture and related design fields, where the use of incremental innovation and iterative processes are still being used to achieve thought-provoking, highly usable and ultimately remarkable results.\nYouFab Global Creative Awards 2015 gathers many excellent ideas and creations. Along the evolution of digital fabrication technology in the last few years, we can find more entries, comparing to previous competitions, trying to explore the application of digital fabrication in practical use. It is like one further step forward to the dream of new industrial revolution.\nOn the other hand, there are also many art oriental entries exploring the opposite side of technology. Unlike praising the precision, efficiency and accuracy of the machine, these candidates are more interested in the flaws, accidents, and humanity. They involved a lot of non-machine characters into their digital fabrication works, and successfully built a wide range of true machine art pieces.\nI am deeply impressed by the variety and well-development of entries. Congratulations for the winners and the finalists. Look forward to the fun future with all Fabbers!",

        "title": "The Daily \u2014 Canadian Survey on Disability, 2017",
        "raw_content": "This release is available in audio. The video \"Highlights from the Canadian Survey on Disability, 2017, American Sign Language version\" is also available.\nCanadians with disabilities: A demographic, employment and income profile, 2017\nAn estimated one in five Canadians (or 6.2 million) aged 15 years and over had one or more disabilities that limited them in their daily activities, according to new findings from the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD).\nFor many of these Canadians, challenges and obstacles in their day-to-day lives may limit their full participation in society. Understanding the challenges faced by persons with disabilities in their personal, employment, or economic situations helps inform government policy.\nThe CSD is the main source of data on disabilities for those aged 15 years and over. For the 2017 survey, new questions were designed to ensure better overall coverage of persons with disabilities, especially for persons with disability types that are less visible, such as mental health-related and cognitive disabilities.\nMore than 1 in 10 youth in Canada have one or more disabilities\nThe prevalence of disabilities among Canadians tends to increase with age. However, more than 540,000 youths aged 15 to 24 years (13%) had one or more disabilities. This compared with 20% or 3.7 million of working age adults (25 to 64 years), and 38% or 2 million of seniors aged 65 and over. Women (24%) were more likely to have a disability than men (20%) and this was the case across all age groups.\nMore than 4 in 10 Canadians with disabilities have a severe or very severe disability\nSeverity is a major factor in looking at the lives of persons with disabilities. Those with more severe disabilities often have lower rates of employment, lower income even when employed full-year and full-time, and a greater likelihood of living in poverty regardless of age.\nIn 2017, 57% of Canadians with disabilities had a \"milder\" disability (classified as having a mild or moderate disability) and 43% had a \"more severe\" disability (classified as having a severe or very severe disability). In all cases, the disability was severe enough to limit them to some extent in their daily activities.\nMental health-related and learning disabilities are the most common types of disabilities among youth\nThe prevalence of disabilities varies at different stages of life. Common to all age groups, however, was the prominence of pain-related disabilities\u2014which were the most prevalent disability type among working age adults and seniors, and the third most prevalent disability among youth.\nThe most common disability types among seniors were pain, mobility, and flexibility\u2014each affecting about one-quarter of all seniors, often in combination. Among working age adults, 14% had a pain-related disability, and roughly half that percentage had a disability related to mental health, flexibility or mobility (and often in combination).\nMental health-related disabilities (7%) ranked fourth in prevalence among disability types for persons aged 15 years and over, and represented just over 2 million Canadians. In fact, among youth, mental health-related (8%) was the most common type of disability, followed by learning (6%), and pain-related disabilities (4%).\nMost Canadians with a disability had more than one type of disability. Of the 6.2 million Canadians with disabilities aged 15 years and over, 29% had one type of disability; 38% had two or three disabilities; and 33% had four or more.\nAbout one-third of youth with more severe disabilities are neither in school nor employed\nYouth with disabilities are at a higher risk of not being in school or employed, and this increased with the severity of the disability. Understanding the type of disability and its severity is important, then, for supporting youth in making the transition into post-secondary education or the labour market.\nAbout 15% of youth with milder disabilities were neither in school nor employed, compared with about 31% of youth with more severe disabilities.\nAmong youth with disabilities who were neither in school nor employed, 87% had a mental health-related disability, a learning disability, or both. Since those with mental health-related and/or learning disabilities accounted for 77% of youth with disabilities, this suggests they are disproportionately affected when it comes to being neither in school nor employed.\nPersons with very severe disabilities are two-and a-half times less likely to be employed than those with mild disabilities\nIn 2017, persons with disabilities faced lower employment rates, particularly for Canadians with very severe disabilities, and those with lower levels of education.\nAbout 59% of working-age adults with disabilities were employed compared with around 80% of those without disabilities. However, as severity of disability increased, the percentage of those employed fell from 76% among those with mild disabilities to 31% among those with very severe disabilities.\nThe presence of a disability did not preclude older adults (55 to 64 years) from working. The more severe the disability, however, the less likely they were to be employed. In fact, the percentage of employed older adults was lowest for those with more severe disabilities (30%), while it was 58% for those with milder disabilities and 67% for people in the same age bracket without a disability.\nAlmost one-third of working age adults with more severe disabilities are living in poverty\nOverall, persons with disabilities had lower personal income compared to those without disabilities and it varied depending on sex, severity of disability, and household living arrangements.\nFor example, women aged 25 to 64 years with milder disabilities had median after-tax personal income that was 24% less than their male counterparts and 13% less than women without disabilities.\nAmong working age adults, personal income was strongly related to the severity of disability. Those with no disabilities had a higher median after-tax personal income ($39,000) than those with milder disabilities ($34,300) and those with more severe disabilities ($19,200).\nIn addition, among working age adults, 28% of those with more severe disabilities were living below Canada's official poverty line (based on the Market Basket Measure), compared with 14% of those with milder disabilities and 10% of those without disabilities.\nThe highest rates of poverty (for those aged 15 to 64 years) were among those with more severe disabilities who were living alone or were lone parents. For those living alone, 6 in 10 were below the poverty line, as were 4 in 10 of lone parents. Regardless of disability, 8 in 10 lone parents were women.\nStatistics Canada has collected data on disability for more than 30 years, starting with the 1983 Canadian Health and Disability Survey. The 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) provides comprehensive data on persons with disabilities by province and territory and age group, as well as disability types and severity of the disability. The survey also collects essential information on supports available to persons with disabilities, the employment profile, income and education of persons with disabilities, as well as other disability-specific topics such as type and severity of disability, use of aids and assistive devices, help received or required, educational attainment, labour force status as well as experiences and accommodations at school or at work.\nThe survey population comprised Canadians aged 15 years and over as of the 2016 Census of Population (May 10, 2016) and living in private dwellings. It excluded those living in institutions and other collective dwellings, on Canadian Armed Force bases, and on First Nations reserves. The total sample size for the CSD was approximately 50,000 individuals. As the institutionalized population was excluded from the survey, data, particularly for the older age groups, should be interpreted accordingly.\nThe CSD used Canada's new Disability Screening Questions (DSQ), which were developed between 2010 and 2012. The DSQ are based on the social model of disability. This model defines disability as the relationship between body function and structure, daily activities and social participation, while recognizing the role of environmental factors. In keeping with this framework, the CSD targeted respondents who not only have a difficulty or an impairment due to a long-term condition or health problem, but who also experience a limitation in their daily activities.\nThe CSD definition of disability includes anyone who reported being \"sometimes,\" \"often\" or \"always\" limited in their daily activities due to a long-term condition or health problem, as well as anyone who reported being \"rarely\" limited if they were also unable to do certain tasks or could only do them with a lot of difficulty.\nIn August 2018, the Government of Canada launched the Poverty Reduction Strategy in which the Market Basket Measure (MBM) was announced as Canada's official poverty line. The MBM represents the cost of a basket that includes: a nutritious diet, clothing and footwear, shelter, transportation, and other necessary goods and services (such as personal care items or household supplies). The cost of the basket is compared to disposable income for each family to determine low income rates.\nThe article, \"A demographic, employment and income profile of Canadians with disabilities aged 15 years and over, 2017,\" which is part of the publication Canadian Survey on Disability Reports (Catalogue number89-654-X), is now available.\nThe fact sheet \"The evolution of disability data in Canada: Keeping in step with a more inclusive Canada,\" the infographic \"New Data on Disability in Canada, 2017,\" and the \"Canadian Survey on Disability, 2017: Concepts and Methods Guide\" are also available.",

        "raw_content": "Henry the K. is starting to find it difficult to find a country to travel to where he can feel safe from arrest. It's interesting that the type of laws and ways of looking at butchers are so new that the butchers are only now starting to be concerned. Will the example of people like Pinochet and Henry the K. be enough to change the behaviours of butchers of the future? Are we now seeing a reaction in the Israeli cabinet over the U. N. investigation of Jenin that may have something to do with personal punishment for actions taken by the Israeli government? After all, Peres and Sharon are old and not likely to ever face the music, but there must be some younger cabinet members who foresee never being able to vacation or travel outside Israel again without fear of sudden, unpredictable arrest and permanent detention?\nThe 'leftist' writers have been attacking Vreeland's story, first David Corn, and now Norman Solomon (and\nVreeland's reply). My first conspiratorial question is to wonder whether Corn and Solomon might not have something better to write about than an obscure story from Canada covered only by some conspiracy nuts. What is so threatening about Vreeland's story that people like Corn and Solomon feel they have to attack it? I agree that Vreeland's famous note is very vague, and contains a list of possible targets. On the other hand, if his information comes from Russian sources, who got it from Iraq, who presumably got it from Iraqi intelligence sources, it might just be that the information would be a little vague. The key of the Vreeland story is his attempts in August, 2001 to bring this warning to the attention of his Canadian jailers, and his making the point of sealing his information in an envelope and handing it to the jailers. What were Corn and Solomon doing in August, 2001? Were they so concerned about an imminent terrorist attack on the U. S. that they would have taken the kind of steps that Vreeland did? Do they think he did this just on the off chance that one of his listed targets would be attacked, and then he would be a hero? Do they think he has ESP? When you add to his actions his prediction that the authorities would find that Marc Bastien had been murdered, and the phone call from his trial which seemed to confirm his connection with the Pentagon when American authorities vehemently denied such a connection, you just have to wonder. His shady background means nothing, as intelligence agencies pick people from this type of background because they are the types who will do the illegal or questionable but adventurous jobs that intelligence agencies need to do, and because if something goes wrong the agency can disclaim the agent and use his shady background to show that he is the sort that would lie about his connection to the government. If there is any untruth in Vreeland's story, my guess is that it would be his claim to be a Naval Intelligence officer, albeit a low-ranking one. He is more likely to be a contract operative with no official connection to the government except for a phone number and perhaps a temporary office. It is also possible that he has embellished his story, particularly if he did indeed refer to 'red mercury', a substance that only exists in spy novels (and the kind of person who does this kind of work is probably a great reader of spy novels). However, nothing can detract from what he did in August, 2001, when a terrorist attack on the United States was the last thing on everybody's mind. The Corn and Solomon attacks also raise the interesting question of why progressive writers hate conspiracy theories so much (you can see the same thing in Chomsky's attitude towards the JFK assassination).\nAt the dawn of a new millenium, the Israelis have done what hasn't been done for many hundreds of years - they have invented a brand new crime against humanity. All these old crimes like genocide and ethnic cleansing and torture have been around forever. In the information age, we now have the innovation of 'destruction of information with the intent of facilitating ethnic cleansing'. In other recent atrocities, we did not see this, as the victims lived in a pre-computer age. The Palestinians, though living a third-world life, had first-world information technology. The Israelis systematically destroyed the infrastructure of the Palestinian Authority, including schools (even destroying school records), hospitals, and government buildings. This was intended to make Palestinian life even more difficult, to lead to the eventual ethnic cleansing of the Occupied Territories. The Israeli innovation was to particularly target information by seizing and/or destroying hard drives and other information storage. Since information technology has become crucial to the operation of a modern state, this is tantamount to destroying the essence of the state itself. In a way, once the records of the existence of the Palestinian people are destroyed, so is the future of the Palestinians. The law professors should get on this and credit the Israelis with a completely novel crime against humanity. It's the kind of issue involving the relationship of society and information technology that you would expect to see in an article in Wired, perhaps with some smiling Israeli computer expert photographed against a big bank of computers, expounding on how he and his colleagues came up with this great innovation. Of course, what we're not used to seeing is this type of brutality applied against a people in possession of sophisticated technology. It is no doubt a harbinger of our future.\nThe police in Sugar Land have now officially determined that Enron executive Cliff Baxter's death was a suicide. I still find this preposterous.\nIsrael is playing quite the game with the proposed Jenin investigation, stringing the whole thing out as long as possible to allow Israeli troops to clean up their handiwork as much as possible. Each time the U. N. meets his demands, Sharon comes up with something else. Can anyone now doubt that the Jenin brutality is on an historical scale, matching any of the great massacres of our time? There is a lesson to be learned from this, one that should be applied to Jenin and to every subsequent scene of a crime against humanity. Israeli troops did their barbarism while carefully excluding all journalists. They then excluded rescue and humanitarian assistance to the survivors, both to inflict further brutality and to prevent the rescue workers from seeing and reporting on the scenes of violence before the Israelis managed to clean things up (thus committing a crime against humanity in trying to hide a crime against humanity). Once the investigators arrive, the scene will be largely sanitized, and the Israelis will claim that you cannot trust the testimony of the Palestinian victims (such arguments have already been made). It should be a principle of evidence in human rights law that the party who has blocked a timely investigation of the physical evidence while in possession of the scene of the alleged crime is estopped from questioning the evidence given by the only witnesses to the alleged crime. Israel may not like the testimony of the Palestinians, but it hardly lies in Israel's mouth to question it when Israel itself has prevented proper access to corroborating physical evidence.\nIt is apparently impossible to revoke a Nobel Peace Prize once it has been awarded, no matter how much of a butcher the recipient turns out to be. Thus, such worthies as Henry 'it is quite possible that mistakes were made' Kissinger and Simon Peres get to keep their prizes and help to make a mockery of the concept of the Nobel Peace Prize. I suggest that at the same annual ceremony at which the Peace Prize is awarded, a Nobel War Prize also be given. A nice medal depicting various barbarities and human rights abuses can be designed, and a speech can be made by some human rights proponent or by a representative of some of the victims of the butcher being honored that year (though with Henry the K. the list of victims is so long it would take a week for them all to give speeches). Medals can be given to the obvious Peace Prize mistakes (Henry the K., Peres), as well as to those butchers who have somehow been missed by the Nobel Committee (Pinochet, Milosevic, etc.). They would of course be welcome to attend to pick up their own medals and give their own speeches, but would be subject to immediate arrest after the ceremony and held until their trials. Given the rather motley crew of recent Nobel Peace Prize winners, I think a Nobel War Prize would make a much more effective point about what we should feel about war and crimes against humanity.\nThe Le Pen success in the recent French election run-off is driving France into a sort of frenzy. Le Pen actually got no more votes than he normally does, and the whole controversy seems to be the French leftists agonizing about their apathy over the election and their failure to vote. In fact, the real problem goes much deeper than Le Pen, and affects leftist parties everywhere. There has been a gradual shift in the left away from class issues to 'identity politics' issues. This shift has gone so far that right-wing politicians like Tony Blair can call themselves leftist based on their views on issues which have nothing to do with economics. The issue of immigration is worrying a lot of people in Europe, people who are not necessarily racists. Many Europeans have no experience with mass immigration and are genuinely fearful of the effects of the social changes caused by it. Due to the concentration on 'identity politics' by leftist politicians, these issues cannot even be discussed by the left, as even discussion of immigration levels is considered racist. Right-wing politicians thus are left with the issue to themselves. Ironically, once elected, these right-wing politicians rarely adjust the levels of immigration, as the immigrants reduce the cost of labour for their industrialist supporters. Rather, they concentrate on social programs (reducing them or eliminating them) and taxes (reducing them), catering to their supporters and making things much worse for the vast majority of the population, including the immigrants. It seems to me that the class battles have not been won, and indeed are being lost every day, and it is the height of foolishness for the left to concentrate on 'identity politics' to the exclusion of class politics. In fact, once the class issues are dealt with, most of these other problems will probably take care of themselves.\nThere's talk about a possible Arab boycott of U. S. goods to protest American support for the Israeli state terror campaign against the Palestinians. This talk is a lot of hot air, intended by the rulers of the various U. S. client states to be a sop to their outraged populations. The Americans couldn't care less about such a boycott. Here's a better idea. Have OPEC announce that it has decided that the American Dollar has had its fair turn, and from now on all OPEC oil can be only purchased using Euros, and OPEC countries will start to move their investments out of the U. S. About 10 seconds after that announcement the Israeli troops will evacuate the Occupied Territories, Israel will start to dismantle all the settlements on the Occupied Territories, and Israel will suddenly magnanimously agree to the creation of a full Palestinian state. The speed with which these things will occur will put the lie to the idea that the United States has no control over Israel. Of course, none of this will ever happen. If the Arab states were serious about helping the Palestinians, however, they could take effective steps to alter U. S. policy without having to forego revenue from oil in an oil boycott.\nThe Israelis are trying to spin the Jenin massacre, but the truth is nevertheless coming out. I assume the Israeli quibbling about the U. N. investigators is simply a way to buy time to allow for disposal of the bodies of as many of the victims as possible. While not on the same scale, the killings of the civilians by the Israeli troops is of a nature similar to what we have heard and seen from Rwanda and the Balkans - an unspeakable brutality that appears to come out of the Middle Ages. I suppose one could cut the Israelis some slack by realizing that they are currently run by a psychopathic madman, and many if not most of them think he is as crazy as the rest of the world does (except for George Bush, who regards him as a 'man of peace'). The problem is that these individual acts of brutality up to and including slaughter of unarmed innocent civilians (some even disabled, sick or children), and including vandalism and theft of personal property and senseless violence, are being committed by individual Israeli young men. Their combination of hatred and brutality can only come out of a society that is itself psychopathic. The American press will slavishly follow the Israeli spin as always, so the true horrors of Jenin will never be seen by the American public. The Europeans will, however, see the brutality in all its glory. It is incredible that in as short a period as a few weeks Sharon has managed to irrevocably damage the relationship between Europe and Israel.\nIt's easy to make a list of lies used by the Israelis and their American apologists, as practically every article written on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict contains at least one of them. Leaving aside the big lies that are based on incorrect and myth-making readings of the Bible and Biblical archeology, and historical lies that the Palestinians do not have ancient connections to the Palestine, we can consider the following:\nThe Israelis sometimes admit that their myth that the Palestinians voluntarily went into exile in refugee camps in 1947-48 is a lie. They admit that the Palestinians left because they were murdered and brutalized in a campaign of ethnic cleansing (which appears to be the model for the current outrages). The Palestinians were effectively scared into exile, as was the intent of the Zionists. Let's call this lie the \"Palestinians-just-up-and-decided-one-day-to-leave-their-homeland-and-take-a-permanent-vacation-in-a-squalid-refugee-camp-in-Jordan\" lie, or \"Voluntary Emigration\" lie (VE) for short.\nAs I have already written, it is a myth that the Palestinians rejected an extremely generous offer made by Barak at Camp David. Figures of a return of close to 100% of the Occupied Territories are mentioned. This is completely untrue, and the Palestinian 'state' envisaged by the Zionists would have been no more than a series of armed camps surrounded by Israeli settlements, with no control of its own borders, deep incursions by Israeli army access roads, and no access to the best land or water supplies. The Israeli conception of a Palestinian state was a bantustan of Palestinians providing cheap labour for Israeli enterprises. In fact, the 'generous offer' was never formally made to Arafat, and it would have been completely unacceptable to anyone. Let's call this lie the \"Generous Offer\" lie (GE). The evil of this lie is that it has been used to build the next lie, which is the idea that the Palestinians rejected the generous offer because they will settle for nothing less than the destruction of the State of Israel.\nThe worst lie of all is the idea that the Palestinians seek the complete destruction of Israel. This isn't completely untrue, as it is clear that the most radical Palestinians do seek the destruction of Israel. Given the current crimes against humanity committed by the Israelis against the Palestinians, it is hardly unusual that many share this view. Most Palestinians, however, like people everywhere, just want to get on with a normal life, and have to realize that the only way this can happen is with a symbiotic relationship between the new Palestinian state and Israel. The new state will need the capital and demand for labour that only Israel can provide. Destroying Israel would only leave everyone destitute. The fact of the matter is that there is no conceivable possibility where the Palestinians could possibly destroy the State of Israel. Israel has one of the largest and best trained armies in the world, and the Palestinians have nothing but a very finite supply of suicide bombers. The Israeli arguments that they can't let the Palestinians have their own state remind me of the argument of the school-yard bully who justifies his beating up the smallest kid in the class by saying that if their positions were reversed, the smallest kid would do the same to him. The fact that some Palestinians have very negative attitudes to Israel is completely irrelevant if they can do nothing about these attitudes, and the constant carping on the subject constitutes another lie (and let us not forget that it was only when Sharon was elected that the most recent round of peace talks at Taba ended, as I assume he feared they were coming dangerouly close to establishing a successful peace). Let's call this the \"No Israel\" lie (NI).\nThere are lies that somehow the suicide bombers are real terrorists, but that the systematic brutality of the Israeli state against the Palestinians is somehow just self-defence. The absurdity of this can be seen in the following: 1) it was Sharon who, by taking a provoking walk on the Temple Mount with full knowledge of what would happen as a result, intentionally started the current wave of the intifada and the suicide bombings in order to create the insecurity which led to his election (people say he had a right to walk wherever he wanted, but in his position the walk was like the right to cry 'Fire' in a crowded theatre); 2) whenever Arafat attempted to calm the situation, Sharon would inflame it and provoke more suicide bombings with his targeted assassinations; 3) the Israelis used exactly the same terrorist methods against the British in obtaining their own state; 4) suicide bombings, while terrible, can hardly be compared to attacks by tanks, helicopters and other modern weapons of war; 5) the numbers of dead civilians and children caused by Israeli actions proves that they are not just attacking terrorists; and 6) while the Israelis complain bitterly about the inhumane attacks against civilians, they do exactly the same thing in their general brutal treatment of the Palestinians, including the slow-motion degrading of the Palestinians by the constant expansion of the illegal settlements, and the use of collective punishment, in the Occupied Territories (and we shouldn't forget that the systematic Israeli brutality had been going on for a long time before the current, more dramatic, outrages). Let's call the idea that somehow Israeli state terrorism is morally elevated above suicide bombing the \"State Terrorism\" lie (ST).\nMuch is made of the fact that the various Arab countries are all run by dictators, unlike the democratic Israel, and that therefore the opinions of the Arabs and their leaders are not worth listening to. The fact that the countries in the Middle East are all run by dictators is true, but leaves unstated the reason for this. The leadership of each of the Arab countries has been carefully determined by the colonial power - first Britain, now the United States. In each case the ruling elites were chosen from weak minority groups in order to make their power dependant on the colonial power. Much effort has been put into this system, including assassinations and coups. The current power structure in the Arab world is completely due to the interventions of the colonial powers. It is therefore a bit rich for the American commentators to make snide remarks about the absence of democracy and the unsuitability of the ruling elites. Let's call complaints about Arab governments and Arab opinions the \"Colonial Legacy\" lie (CL).\nThere are a series of arguments, made mostly by American Protestant and Jewish religious fundamentalists, that revolve around the fact that the State of Israel is the homeland of the Bibical Chosen People, and that the creation of a Greater Israel covering the land now occupied by the Palestinians is somehow necessary for the world to move into the End Times as prophesied in the Bible. I include these stories for completeness, if only because they seem to provide a psychological foundation for much of the American writing on the subject. Let's call these lies or myths the \"Greater Israel\" lies (GI).\nWhile not strictly speaking lies, we have to face the various ad hominem arguments that are thrown up, which all revolve around the idea that due to past mistreatment of the Jews, no one has the moral right to make any critical comments about Israel. These arguments are being used particularly against Europeans. These are emotional and absurd arguments, and aren't even worth replying to, but have to be recognized for what they are. The meaning of the Holocaust is exactly the opposite of these views - in fact, everyone has the right and obligation to complain about crimes against humanity, and the sufferings of your ancestors give you no licence to cause others to suffer. Let's call these ad hominem arguments, well, \"Ad Hominem\" arguments (AH). You can recognize them when you see the words 'Holocaust' or 'anti-semitism' included in an argument about why Israel is immune from criticism.\nAs an exercise I recommend reading articles written on the Palestinian problem, particularly those written by Israelis or Americans, with a red pencil to circle and identify the various lies and arguments (VE/GE/NI/ST/CL/GI/AH) which are used. You will be amazed at how consistently the arguments against the Palestinians are based on untruths and sloppy thinking. It's practically impossible to read any article written by the American press which isn't riddled with these lies.\nI am coming round to the idea that I am a poor excuse for a conspiracy theorist, lacking as I do the full courage of my paranoia, and backing off the abyss of what the evidence truly shows us about the events of September 11. The strong evidence takes the following forms:\nMost importantly, what major steps were taken using 9-11 as an excuse, and who really benefitted?\n'Negative evidence', i. e., cases where evidence isn't available where it should clearly be available, including such things as videos of the Pentagon crash; proper lists of the identities of the terrorists, at least somthing which jibes with the flight manifests (the fact that we don't know anything as to who these people were is evidence in and of itself); information on the derivative trading which took place on the basis of foreknowledge of 9-11; and evidence physically taken from the Venice, Florida flight school.\nGeographic evidence, including the unusual physical locations of the Israeli spy ring and the odd ambit of the hijackers.\nReally odd things that stand out, such as John Ashcroft's decision in July not to take commercial flights, the inexplicable behaviour of Moussaoui and the even more inexplicable decision of the FBI and the Department of Justice not to obtain a warrant against him, the very important $100,000 sent from Pakistan to Atta, the peculiarity of sending extremely talented pilots from halfway round the world to learn to fly in a two-bit flying school in a retirement community in South Florida (and general inconsistencies involving the Florida flight training), the remarkable discrepancies between the Atta born in Egypt and Atta the hijacker, the bizarre behaviour of the supposedly devoutly Islamic hijackers, the obviously faked Islamic materials left in a car at Boston Airport, the plane crash of young Bishop into a Tampa office building, and the Vreeland evidence and other foreknowledge including the Odigo warnings.\nSubtle evidence, including the area of the Pentagon that was damaged, discrepancies between the type of people killed on the planes and the type of people killed in the buildings, the meeting bin Laden is alleged to have had in a Dubai hospital and the vagueness in his videos, and the extent and timing of George Bush's knowledge of the terrorism.\nVery puzzling things like the anthrax letters, the dead microbiologists, and the death of Daniel Pearl.\nAs you can see, there's lots of evidence available to those who are prepared to allow the facts to lead them to a proper understanding. I'm coming to the conclusion that the attack was almost inevitable, coming as it did at a time of a perhaps never-to-be-repeated coincidence in the world power structure. I believe I have been deceived in many of the ways everyone was intended to be deceived, but hope shortly to be able to produce a general view of what happened. I find it absolutely amazing that given all the huge loose ends in the evidence there is such resistance to investigating what really happened. It's not like the United States government has never lied before.\nThe failed removal of Hugo Chavez (background on how Chavez got to be President of Venezuela and on the conflict) has been coming for a long time, and it is interesting to consider the mechanics of how it was attempted. Nothing like this would have been tried by the Venezuelan generals without U. S. sanction and assistance. However, the strategic importance of Venezuelan oil to the United States meant that it was unlikely that the Americans would support any disruption that would lead to a possible interruption in the oil supply, particularly now, with the Middle East supply in question. The brilliant solution was for the generals and the industrialists to pick a fight over the running of the oil industry, thus shutting down the refineries and threatening U. S. oil security. The issue was the Chavez attempt to replace the directors of the state oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA), in order to promote an OPEC-supporting policy (lower-production, higher-price), rather than the U. S. client-state policy (high production to satisfy U. S. markets) that had been in place. What also stuck in the American craw was the new hydrocarbon law that raised royalty rates to almost 30% from 16.7% and required that PDVSA hold a majority interest in all joint ventures with foreign companies. Once oil production was shut down, the Americans had nothing to lose in supporting a coup, and it was allowed to proceed. The problem was that neither the generals nor the industrialists had the support of the vast majority of the population (it is funny that one of the main propaganda weapons used against Chavez before the coup were 'polls' purporting to show that, despite being elected twice, his popularity had fallen to very low levels, polls which we can now see were pure lying propaganda and have all the earmarks of CIA 'psy-ops'), and, most crucially, not even the support of most of the members of the armed forces (the role of the Venezuelan armed forces in supporting democracy reminds me of the role of the Portugese armed forces in bringing democracy to that country, and they should be proud of themselves). The objections of other Latin American governments also helped to reinstate Chavez (and stand in huge contrast to the reaction of the U. S. State Department, which stated: 'Democracy has now been restored in Venezuela' - a ridiculous statement on its face in the light of the fact that the first thing the stooge selected to replace Chavez did was to annul such things as the constitution, the National Assembly, the Supreme Court, and the Attorney General and Comptroller offices, and 48 laws passed in 2001 - and proof, if any were needed, that the U. S. government has no interest in democracy in Latin America). Pro-Chavez forces actually managed to organize a rally of 100,000 people using cellphones! When every thing started to fall apart, the plotters attacked and killed some civilians and attempted to blame Chavez supporters for the attacks (does that ever have a CIA stench about it - the State Department made sure the lie was played up, using their new favorite term 'change of government'), but everyone saw through the lies (despite the fact that all local media misled the Venezuelan people, no doubt another CIA touch), and Chavez, and democracy, are back. Again, we see an almost unbelievable failure of CIA human intelligence. They had no idea of what support a coup would have (all they did was prepare for a coup by meeting to discuss the issue of Venezuela in November 2001, and then met with, and presumably encouraged, the plotters, possibly in part by arranging to give two of them $100,000 each), as they obviously got all their intelligence from the top generals and richest industrialists, who had no clue what was actually going on. Regardless of what they now say, the whole coup has U. S. fingerprints all over it (this must be what they mean by 'democracy-building activities in Venezuela'), and in fact may have had both CIA and State Department elements to it, working at cross purposes. It may also be interesting to see what the American oil company CITGO, owned by PDVSA, played in all this. There is even reason to believe that the U. S. military attache in Caracas was with the plotters in the hours before the coup (and/or possibly US Army Lieutenant Colonel James Rodgers, an aide to the US military attache, was with the plotters in the military command before Chavez was brought there). It also appears that the US Navy provided signals intelligence and communications jamming support to the Venezuelan military to assist them in the coup (and what about that mysterious American plane that Chavez saw while under arrest?). At least two of the plotters even studied at the infamous U. S. Army School of the Americas - I imagine this failure will make their new textbook on how not to run a successful coup. The wildest thing is the probability that the scary Otto Reich, possibly the most evil of the men in the U. S. junta and certainly the most coup-acquainted, was stage-managing the coup by phoning directions into the stooge chosen to lead it. The attempted coup left us with two funny incidents to ponder:\nThe U. S. newspapers obviously had advance information from the CIA or the State Department on the coup, and wrote up (or, rather, retyped) little hymns of praise for its results in advance, so that the U. S. spin could hit the American press as soon as the coup started. In fact, U. S. press acknowledgement of the success of the coup was part of the plan. The coup's 'success', celebrated in the press, was supposed to make it a fait accompli. As the coup turned out to be a ridiculous failure, the U. S. press is embarrassed as the stupid lapdogs of the CIA, and the United States is, well, just totally embarrassed (are Americans not starting to feel just a little uncomfortable about the consistent incompetence of their current government?). As well as enjoying the spectacle, those with suspicious minds can take some instruction as to how the CIA works with the American press, particularly the 'elite' press, to attempt to effect a 'psy-op' in another country. We can also see the role of the Venezuelan media in assisting the plotters, and the long-ongoing background of lies about Chavez in the American press which were created to form the basis for the coup.\nCondoleezza Rice, a woman appropriately named after an oil tanker (or was it the other way around?), couldn't help but offer her gratuitous advice to Chavez after he was reinstated. She hoped: \"that Hugo Ch\u00e1vez takes the message that his people sent him, that his own policies are not working for the Venezuelan people, that he's dealing with them in a highhanded fashion.\" Excuse me?! Chavez is a guy who was elected in two successive elections, almost was killed in a CIA-sponsored coup which was only defeated by the valour of the Venezuelan people (who, unlike another people I don't need to mention, care enough about democracy to complain when sombody tries to take it away from them), and the first thing he does is offer a gracious and non-vengeful speech. The mouthpiece of the completely unelected U. S. junta then has the audacity to offer him advice to take the message his own people sent him?! It was his own people who just saved him from a U. S.-run coup attempt! I don't know whether to laugh or cry.\nIn the good old days, Chavez would have been simply assassinated (think of Allende). However, the United States no longer wants to be seen as staging a coup, but wants to see a 'change of government'. This required forcing Chavez to sign a resignation (which he never did, but which was duly reported by the State Department and in the American press - yet more evidence of the complicity of the U. S. press in the coup) and go through the niceties of Venezuelan constitutional law to uphold the illusion that the whole thing was perfectly legal and responsible. I wonder how the upcoming 'change in government' in Iraq has been planned.\nSupporters of Israel are desperately trying to spin the Jenin massacre, even going so far as to claim that all the deaths were caused by suicide bombers! All this proves is that they realize that world opinion has completely turned against them, and American opinion will follow as soon as the truth comes out (on top of the slaughter itself, just think of how bad it looks that the Israelis intentionally hindered and prevented relief efforts, thus gratuitously causing even more deaths and suffering). I doubt that even the American media will be able to hide the enormity of the carnage and barbarity. One of the interesting results of Jenin and other recent Israeli outrages is that there has been a not-so-subtle shift in arguments put forth in the American press. The argument used to be that the Palestinians were completely in the wrong because they were using suicide bombers to murder innocent Israeli civilians, and the attacks were completely unprovoked and based solely on the hatred the Palestinians had for the Jews and their desire to destroy Israel. Now that it has become impossible to hide the extent of the Israeli brutality against the Palestinians, the new argument is that since both sides are brutalizing each other, the proper role for the U. S. is to take no role at all and let the two sides fight it out themselves (thus Powell slinks off into the night). This of course ignores the fact that the Israelis get to fight using billions of dollars worth of weapons given to them by the U. S. (and, I might add, mostly on condition that they be used only for defensive purposes), and the Palestinians get to fight by blowing up their own bodies. It's going to take a bit more time, but the Israelis and their American friends are backing themselves into a public relations nightmare.\nI would like to construct the framework of an argument that the Palestinian suicide bombings are moral acts. This is a tough row to hoe, as it is obvious that the intentional killing of innocent civilians is prima facie indefensible. Consider the following:\nThe Israeli attacks on the Palestinians, and the general program of gradually building settlements in the Occupied Territories, are obviously part of a long-term plan to eliminate the Palestinians from Israel and the Occupied Territories by using 'state-terrorism'. By gradually brutalizing the people, and gradually squeezing out the occupants of the Occupied Territories by occupying the best land and the best sources of water, the Israelis are attempting to force the Palestinians to leave. After the Occupied Territories are Palestinian-rein, they will move on to making things so difficult for Arabs living in Israel itself that they will eventually also have to leave (if they stay, their numbers will pose great demographic problems for the Jewish Israelis). The upshot of all this is that the Israelis are accomplishing what used to be accomplished by a war, all without causing a lot of obvious crimes against humanity (Jenin notwithstanding). The Palestinians will inevitable be killed or forced into refugee camps in some other country (and if they end up in Jordan, will probably be forced out again as the inexorable creep of Greater Israel continues).\nSome deplore the fact that the Palestinians have failed to use the type of non-violent resistance of Gandhi or Martin Luther King. Unfortunately, this type of program requires three things which are all missing here: 1) press coverage of the non-violent program and the violent brutality of the colonial power, which doesn't exist here as the press in the colonial power, the United States, absolutely refuses to cover the suffering of the Palestinians (the American lack of coverage is almost akin to military censorship); 2) liberal ideas in the elites of the colonial power, which were present in Britain in the case of India/Gandhi, and in the United States in the 1960s in the case of MLK versus the remnants of the Confederacy, but are decidedly not present in current-day America; and 3) democracy in the colonial power, which was present in Britain and in 1960s America, but is not present today with an unelected President and a Congress which votes as a block for any Israeli plans. The other obvious problem is that even non-violent resistance will be met by a terrible response, and the response will be hidden by lack of press coverage.\nTwo possible defences to crimes like suicide bombing would be provocation and self-defence. Provocation is not available, as the suicide bombings are obviously planned well in advance, and are not immediately set off as a response to Israeli actions. That leaves self-defence (in this case, self-defence of a people, rather than an individual). The Palestinians have no weapons except for hand guns, and are facing one of the largest and best equipped (thanks to the colonial power) armies in the world. They are the victims of a slow-motion war which has been planned to wipe them out without drawing the attention that a real war would draw, and unless they fight back, they are doomed. They have accidentally discovered a way to fight back, by using suicide bombers. This is extremely ineffective as a military weapon, but has had remarkably bad effects on the Israeli psyche and ecomomy. If the Israelis can fight their slow-motion covert war against them by brutalizing civilians and forcing them off of their land, are the Palestinians to be deprived of the only self-defence they have available?\nIf you are almost certainly doomed anyway, as I think the Palestinians are, are you allowed to kill innocent civilians in a final attempt to survive? I think if you are faced with a self-defence situation, where you are unsure of the outcome, and you are the potential victim, you are not responsible for making the calculation of your chances of survival. You can do what you must to survive, and worry about your success later.\nI admit that there is a tremendous onus on anyone who suggests that it could be morally acceptable to murder innocent civilians for political ends. It goes against everything I believe in. I thus propose a framework for the possible future creation of such an argument, without knowing whether such a position is tenable. I suggest that the Palestinian use of suicide bombings might be justifiable on moral grounds only in a case where: 1) they are being destroyed in the equivalent of a war where the destruction is not apparent as in a normal war because of the new slow-motion and carefully planned methods of the Israelis; 2) non-violent resistence is completely unavailable as the colonial power, in this case the United States, is intentionally manipulating press coverage of Palestinian suffering in order to hide it from the American people, the colonial power is indifferent to human rights because of its anti-liberal politics, and the colonial power is not democratically run; 3) no other form of armed defence is possible because an almost unarmed group has to fight against one of the greatest armies in the world; and 4) the suicide bombing is done as self-defence and is the only form of self-defence available to the Palestinians.\nIn thinking about the Middle East today, I finally realized that the Palestinians are doomed. Sharon is going to get exactly what he wants (the final proof is the sickening charade of the Powell visit). The Palestinians will be slowly, and sometimes not so slowly, brutalized or killed, and the survivors will be inexorably forced into some sort of exile. The lucky ones will end up as refugee claimants in some decent country; the unlucky ones will end up in refugee camps in whatever is left of Jordan. Day by day the number of settlers in the Occupied Territories will increase, as will the percentage of territory occupied by the settlers. There will never be a Palestinian state. The Israelis have full control of the American media, and the current U. S. junta couldn't care less about the Palestinians (if the Americans ever have another Presidential election things might change, but by then it will be too late). The Europeans complain and whine, but don't want to lose the money that would be involved in any action that would have an effect on Israel (an absolute trading and banking ban by European countries against any Israeli citizen or corporation would probably help, but would reduce the profitability of European companies, and therefore will never happen). The other Arab countries are all client states of the United States, and do pretty much what they're told - the various corrupt rulers couldn't care less about the Palestinians but just pay lip service to the Palestinian cause to appease their own citizens. Absolutely no one will lift a finger to help the Palestinians, and Sharon is bound and determined to wipe them out. They are utterly doomed, but don't quite realize it yet. What the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is so horrible that they have put the Palestinians in a position where things could not possibly be worse. Once they realize what is going to happen to them, the Palestinians will become immune to threats of retaliation, for there is no worse to be done. They are incapable of being threatened. What if they were to somehow obtain a nuclear bomb and set it off in Tel Aviv? The Israelis would surely retaliate, probably with their own nuclear bombs (killing many of their own people in the process). So what? The Palestinians can expect no better from the Israelis or the world now. Why not die in one blast rather than be picked off one by one? Creating a people with no fear of the future is the stupidest thing you can do, but Israel and its 'friends' have done it.\nI have three more thoughts about the Vreeland interview:\nVreeland states: \"Another government agency has to go investigate activities connected to weapons smuggling, organized crime and drug trafficking. They use their power to break laws, and we're not allowed to investigate them. Thus certain parts of the U.S. government designed an entity called UID (Unofficial Intelligence Investigation Division). It was designed by Adm. Jeremy Michael Boorda, who allegedly committed suicide.\" Is there any truth to this? Does it connect to the 'suicide' of Boorda, which many feel is suspicious?\nVreeland states: \"The name of the defense system is SSST [Stealth Satellite System Terminator]. There are five different individual and unique defensive and strike capabilities of the system. The only portion that I have publicly spoken on is one frame regarding actual current orbiting satellites, which are not at this time owned by the US government. On advice of counsel I cannot discuss the other components. This one component is a satellite system. Within the confines of the system there are multiple, deployable space/orbital EMP [Electromagnetic Pulse] missiles that are not aimed at the ground. They are targeted at everyone else's satellites. These would kill worldwide communications. The satellites of some countries that are shielded with titanium are protected from these weapons. The protected countries are Russia and China, but U.S. satellites are vulnerable and Putin has told Bush that the U.S. missile defense system doesn't work, and that Bush knows it.\" Is what Vreeland states about the vulnerability of American satellites true? If it is true, how does that impact on the current American plans for a 'star wars' missile defence system? Does Bush know that it is a waste of money, intended only to line the pockets of some military contractors? I note that one obvious effect of Bush's apparent plans to build such a system is a great increase in other countries in doing their own research. Obviously the United States, a country trying to build a world-wide empire based on its ability to communicate and fight wars using information obtained from satellites, would be more affected than any other country if its satellites were damaged.\nVreeland apparently knew that Marc Bastien was murdered before the RCMP did. Bastien died after drinking a mixture of alcohol and clopazine, an anti-depressant used to treat schizophrenia. I note that the Russians have recently accused the Americans of using drugged cookies and drinks to break the will of a Russian defense employee and recruit him as an agent. Whatever they gave him is supposed to have left him feeling weakness and a light trance. Might Bastien's death been some sort of accident caused by someone trying to 'loosen his tongue' but getting the dose wrong?\nIn thinking more about the moral uniqueness of the Israeli outrages against the Palestinians, I am struck by the fact that the Israelis seem to feel that whatever harm they do to the Palestinians is morally unimportant, for it is done to achieve God's Will. They don't hate the Palestinians as they don't hold them in sufficient regard to hate them. The Palestinians are simply in the way. What is un-modern and anti-humanist about this is the idea that there could be religious or eschatological goals which render the concerns of human beings completely unimportant. It is these religious goals which must be paramount, for no one, not even the Israelis, could seriously believe that the Palestinians represent any real threat to Israel (despite a constant barrage of Israeli propaganda about how the Palestinians want to drive them into the sea, the Israelis have one of the largest and perhaps the best armies in the world, and the Palestinians have nothing to fight with except their very deaths). The pride taken by the Israelis in killing or brutalizing the Palestinians has to be the pride taken by those who see their efforts as leading to a goal which transcends this mortal coil (for the purposes of world popular opinion the Israelis are making some efforts to hide the results of the massacre in Jenin, but don't even seem to care how much is being discovered, including the obvious joy taken by Israeli soldiers in brutalizing the Palestinians). Of course, the whole thrust of modern liberal humanism going back to Kant and developed in the light of the Holocaust by many thinkers, including many Jewish thinkers, is to deny that there could be any goals which would justify such treatment of fellow human beings. It is sad to see Israelis making the argument that the rest of the world lacks the moral authority to judge what the Jews do based on the fact of the Holocaust, when the message we should get from the Holocaust is that everyone has a right to, and a moral obligation to, complain about and try to stop any crime against humanity (we're still not very good at this, given the recent outrages in Rwanda and the Balkans, which could have been prevented if we really cared). It is no longer enough simply to refuse to follow evil orders - we all have an active obligation to do whatever we can to ensure that evil orders aren't followed by anyone.\nPoor old Henry Kissinger is starting to feel a little heat over his lifetime of doing evil. There are now many web sites suggesting what types of justice he should face, and of course Hitchens' famous book and articles on Kissinger's crimes, and the reaction they produced in the old reprobate himself. There's getting to be so much stuff you can hardly keep track of it all. Things are getting particularly dicey in Chile, where folks are still understandably miffed about the whole Pinochet thing, and Kissinger's role in destabilizing the country. They even want to take back his Nobel Peace Prize (perhaps they can pick up Peres' at the same time). It seems to me, as a practical matter, that Kissinger will be protected tooth and nail by the U. S. authorities (for, after all, his crimes are also the crimes of the United States), and it will be very unlikely that we will ever see him in an appropriate court. However, it should be possible to make it legally unsafe for him to travel out of the United States, and it should be possible to go a long way to make decent people embarrassed to be in his presence.\nMike Vreeland is out on bail from his extradiction hearing, and they've apparently slowed up in trying to extradict him. He has also claimed refugee status in Canada (meaningless, as anyone can claim refugee status - he'll have a tough time proving his claim before a refugee board as the United States isn't usually considered to be a refugee-producing country). These are good tactical positions to be in, as he has bought himself quite a bit of time in Canada. If his story is true, the fact they haven't killed him is presumably due to his notoriety. He has also been giving interviews and writing letters to his doubters. He says three very interesting things in his Ruppert interview:\nWhen asked \"What part of the U.S. government did you work for? Was it the CIA?\", he replied: \"I worked for U.S. Naval intelligence. What the CIA directs us to do is their business, so we have no way of knowing whether we're working for them or not.\" That fine distinction is very well put.\nHe says that his information came from a \". . . document [that] was written in English by a U.S. agent, who had picked up a copy of a document that had been sent to V. Putin by K. Hussein, Saddam Hussein's son.\" That means that Iraq had prior knowledge, and had notified the Russians! (Might the Americans have information on Iraqi involvement in 9-11 that they can't divulge because it would also prove American foreknowledge of 9-11?)\nHe indicates that the U. S. had 'without question' penetrated the terrorist cells.\nHis credibility is damaged by his talking of 'red mercury' as that is a term that only appears in spy novels and tracts written for U. S. hillbillies who fear suitcase nukes made from red mercury sold by those dirty commie Russians. In spite of the unnecessary and credibility-damaging enhancements, his basic story still makes some sense. He managed to predict the 9-11 tragedy and made his concerns obvious enough prior to September 11. He knew before anyone else that Marc Bastien had been murdered. The dramatic courtroom call to the Pentagon proves he has some connection to the Pentagon, despite their denials. Given what we know of various government warnings to the United States, not to mention that a large Israeli spy ring was concentrating on the people who would turn out to be the hijackers (the odd specific Odigo warnings made on the morning of September 11 seem to indicate a lot of Israeli foreknowledge), we can be fairly certain that at least some parts of the U. S. government had specific knowledge that the September 11 attacks were about to occur. Were internal U. S. government warnings lost in the sheer amount of information that was available to them, or were the warnings not believed by those in control? Or was a decision made to use the September 11 terrorism for the ends of the U. S. junta, who then stood down the normal air defence and staged the Pentagon attack?\nIn a surprisingly sensible interview on the current Israeli actions, Zbigniew Brzezinski states: \"We can't ignore the fact that no country in the world endorses what we are doing or endorses what the Israelis are doing. That means that in some fashion either the whole world is seized with some total misunderstanding of the situation or that the course that is being pursued by Sharon with tacit American accommodation is not productive or conducive to peace.\" I have wondered when some American would notice that everyone else in the world vehemently disagrees with the actions of Israel.\nApparently the people of Venezuela have the courage to protest when their democracy is taken away from them. The irony is that if Americans had had only a small amount of that courage in December 2000 when their democracy was taken away from them, the Venezuelans might not have lost their democracy. The U. S. junta leads to the Venezuelan junta.\nThe bias in the headlines in the newspaper accounts of the Middle East conflict is becoming almost silly. Consistently we see headines referring to 'Six Israelis Killed . . . ' or 'Four Israeli Soldiers Killed', only to read the article and see at the bottom reference to hundreds of Palestinians killed. We hear about the brutality of the suicide bombers, and read in the articles, almost as an aside, that Palestinians are buried alive when Israeli bulldozers knock down the walls of their houses, and unarmed people are shot by Israeli soldiers (but at least some reference is made to these things, unlike U. S. television coverage, which seems to take the view that the only news from the Middle East concerns suicide bombers, who do their bombing for absolutely no reason other than anti-semitism, and hate Jews so much that they would kill themselves for the possibility of killing a few). The whole thing would be simple racism if it were not for the fact that Israelis and Palestinians are the same race! When Sharon decides to drop a nuclear bomb on, say Gaza City, I fully expect to see the following headline: 'Israeli pilot bruises thumb while pushing big red button on nuclear bomber.'\nThey have finally released the Cliff Baxter 'suicide note' and it is mighty suspicious:\nIt is written in block letters. Does someone write a suicide note to his wife in block letters? Or does an assassin use block letters as he doesn't know how to fake the handwriting (presumably the assassins found some of his letterhead in his vehicle)? Unbelievably, even the signature is in block letters!\nIt was left in Baxter's wife's car. Would Baxter have left a suicide note addressed to his wife in a car? Or would a hired killer leave it there as it was too dangerous to break into the house in the morning?\nAlthough the contents of the note are very emotional, the block letters are written as if by the hand of a stone-cold psychopathic assassin, and not by someone about to kill himself. There is no hesitation, no crossed out words, not even a sign of excitement.\nThe content of the note makes no sense. Baxter got out of Enron at the right time for the right reasons (he objected to what was going on). He ended up a multimillionaire, and could have been depicted as a sort of whistleblower. If anything, he should have been proud of the way things worked out for him. Isn't it just a little odd that the letter makes no mention of Enron (a fake letter might not want to draw any additional attention to Enron)?\nOn top of all this, we have the fact that rat shot was used, hardly likely for Baxter but sensible for as assassin as it cannot be ballistically traced to a gun; the shot may have been from two feet away, almost impossible for Baxter to manage and extremely unlikely for him to try, given the risk of missing; the police investigation was completely and conveniently incompetent (including, if you can believe it, failure to test to see if Baxter had even fired a gun and failure to check for fingerprints on his vehicle!); the coroner has a 'history'; and Baxter just before his death was talking about hiring a bodyguard and expressed to his lawyer concerns about the harassment he was receiving. This is, in total, one of the most incompetent faked suicides that we've seen in quite a while.\nThe three Israeli right-wing brutish plans for the Palestinians are:\nGOAL 1: concentrate the Palestinians in small areas of the Occupied Territories, fence them in, and use them as quasi-slave labour for Israeli industrial production;\nGOAL 2: build an impenetrable wall between Israel and the Occupied Territories;\nGOAL 3: transfer all Palestinians out of the Occupied Territories (and, presumably, eventually transfer most Arabs out of Israel) to Jordan or elsewhere.\nGOAL 1 would satisfy the industrialists, who would get a cheap source of labour, and the mafiya, who would continue their position in the settlements, but would not please the religious nuts, who want all of greater Israel to be Arab-free. The Americans would be happy enough, as the presence of unhappy Palestinians will continue to keep tensions high and so keep oil prices artificially high. GOAL 2 would provide some protection against suicide bombers but leaves the settlements in the Occupied Territories on the wrong side of the wall, scaring the settlers and interfering with the mafiya, and wouldn't please the religious nuts. It would also pose a logistical nightmare in Jerusalem. GOAL 3 doesn't work for the industrialists (they lose their labour force), and the actual mechanics of accomplishing it will make everyone morally ill, not to mention causing massive tensions in the Middle East (tensions so high that the price of oil would become too high, thus damaging the American economy and making the Americans very unhappy). It would, however, please the settlers, the mafiya, and the religious nuts, as well as the Israeli army, who would have plenty of killing to do. It appears that you just can't please everybody and GOAL 2 has been decided on, at least in the short term, and the walls are starting to go up. This will finish off what little is left of the Palestinian economy, and the Palestinians will presumably concentrate their anger on the settlers (and it wouldn't surprise me if we saw some anti-American terrorism). I assume that the attacks against the settlers will then be used as the excuse for either GOAL 1 or GOAL 3. It is possible that the inconsistency of the goals has delayed the ugly fate of the Palestinians.\nIn Netanyahu's April 10 speech to the U. S. Senate, he said: \"For if we do not immediately shut down the terror factories where Arafat is producing human bombs, it is only a matter of time before suicide bombers will terrorize your cities. If not destroyed, this madness will strike in your buses, in your supermarkets, in your pizza parlors, in your cafes. Eventually, these human bombs will supplement their murderous force with suitcases equipped with devices of mass death that could make the horrors of Sept. 11 pale by comparison.\" Now I know Americans are idiots when it comes to Israel, but isn't it absolutely clear that when the Israeli right finishes off all hope for the Palestinians, the Palestinians will then turn their wrath on the United States, who they will correctly blame for their plight. In other words, supporting Netanyahu's plans for the Palestinians guarantees many repeats of 9-11 on U. S. soil. The most amazing thing is that after each attack the Americans will profess to not understanding why they are being attacked.\nIsrael made a pact with the devil in allowing many Jews and pseudo-Jews to immigrate from Russia, many of whom were criminals who regard Israel as a safe haven should there be a crackdown on their criminality (Israel won't extradict its citizens). The mafiya presence has not improved Israeli politics. The Russians are not inclined to offer land for peace, coming as they do from a huge country to a country which they perceive as having no land to spare. Someone should investigate the role that the mafiya is playing in the current massacres, given the probable role of mafiya money in funding Israeli politics (Netanyahu has been linked to mafiya money) and the dominance that the Russians have in the settlements in the Occupied Territories (I note that the Israelis were broadcasting pornographic movies, a known product of the mafiya, from Palestinian television stations - could this be a form of marking their territory?). This Sharon series of massacres (you can't really call it a war when one side has jet bombers, tanks and helicopters and the other side is unarmed or has, at most, guns) may be one of the first modern conflicts fought on behalf of, and to assert the power of, organized crime (we've seen similar things in the recent Balkan conflicts).\nMy guess is that the Israeli version of the Wanasee Conference, where the 'final solution' for the Palestinians was planned, was held sometime in early 2000. In attendance would have been Ariel Sharon, Russian mafiya leaders, right-wing politicians and their right-wing industrialist supporters, extreme religious crazies, and possibly, extreme American fundamentalist Protestant religious crazies. The plan was either to drive all the Palestinians into Jordan, or at least force them into small areas on the worst land in the Occupied Territories and use them as quasi-slave labour for Israeli industrial production (the euphemism for the removal of Palestinians is 'transfer'). This would be accomplished in the following stages:\nensure that Sharon was elected by having him make an ostentatious and intentionally provocative tour of the Temple Mount in order to build up rage in the Palestinians and start the intifada, thus creating the insecurity that Sharon was elected to stop;\nincrease the brutality (well summarized here) of the treatment of the Palestinians to an almost unbelievable degree (see reports here and here and here and here), including arrest and torture, attacks by the Israeli military against Palestinian civilians, including children, denial of ambulance access and medical care to civilians, targeting of medical and emergency personnel, use of civilians as human shields, collective punishment of civilians, including destruction of agricultural land (including uprooting of olive trees) and destruction of houses, interference with education, destruction of infrastructure, appropriation of water, the imposition of ridiculouly restrictive closures, checkpoints and curfews, all intended to cause the maximum misery and economic destruction possible, and targeted assassinations (all of which crimes against humanity and others are well summarized here and lots of more specific reports are available here), all with a view to provoking a violent reaction which has largely taken the form of suicide bombers (I honestly find it impossible to digest the enormity of the crimes committed against the Palestinians);\nafter September 11, step up the timing of the plan as it was realized that the whole program could be accelerated by calling it part of the 'war on terror' (which makes one wonder whether there was any Israeli role in the events of September 11);\nwhenever Arafat moved to settle the violence, stir it up again by using targeted assassinations against Palestinian leaders (and step by step take actions to replace Arafat and the Palestinian Authority);\nwait for a particularly gruesome suicide bombing, and use it with the lie that the Palestinian rejection of the Barak proposals meant that the Palestinians were beginning the destruction of Israel, putting Israel in a fake posture of self-defence, which is then used as an excuse for the current outrages;\narrange for completely biased media coverage in the U. S. with absolutely no coverage of the brutality against the Palestinians, making the suicide bombings look like unprovoked violence rather than a reaction to the daily brutalities against the Palestinians and a rather pathetic form of self-defence;\npossibly make contact with Hamas on the theory that since Hamas and Israel want the same thing, a mono-ethnic society over the whole of greater Israel, Hamas suicide bombers would accomplish the common goal of eliminating moderate Palestinian opinion, with the final outcome of who gets to keep the place being left for later (this theory is obviouly speculative);\nprovoke as much desire for revenge and fear of remaining in the Occupied Territories in the Palestinian people as is possible before international opinion forces a withdrawal, await more suicide bombs, and reset the cycle again and again until you get your 'final solution'.\nEven Peres thinks the Jenin operation is a 'massacre'. What is so surprising about the current Israeli outrages and the general crimes against humanity committed under the Sharon regime? It seems unprecedented somehow. We've had massacres in places like Rwanda and Cambodia, but they are outside of what we like to think of the Western liberal tradition. We've had atrocities committed by or on behalf of the U. S. government in Central America, but at least the Americans tried to cover up their involvement. Even in the Balkans, the atrocities were hidden. In this case, although there is heavy military censorship by the Israelis, there is also an element of pride in what they are doing (we haven't seen this kind of pride in the handiwork of state terror since the Nazis). In addition to the Israeli pride, we have a completely transparent attempt by the Americans to pretend to order a stop to the Israeli actions (does anyone actually believe that: 1) Sharon could actually dare to defy a real American order, or 2) there is some pupose in Powell's tardiness in getting to Jerusalem other than giving the Israelis more time to kill?). In other words, both the United States and Israel, two states which have at least held themselves out as exemplifying the Western liberal tradition, are conspiring to slaughter a significant number of people, most of them innocent civilians. At least in the case of the Israelis, the final goal (or 'final solution') of all this may very well be the complete elimination of a whole people from the geographic area where they have traditionally lived (I assume this is based on religious principles which are regarded as having precedence over secular principles, a sort of return to ancient or medieval thinking) . We have not seen this kind of open defiance of humanitarian principles, indeed, pride in defiance of humanitarian principles, by a country with a tradition of holding Western liberal values since 1940's Europe.\nIf the reports are true, Jenin is shaping up to be one of the first great massacres of the twenty-first century and may even turn out to be one of the all-time greats, particularly if Colin Powell can continue heading for Jerusalem at his unbelievably slow rate of speed ('Jenin' may even become synonymous for massacre, just as other massacre sites have). Some people have pointed out that it is unwise to compare Sharon and the Israelis to Hitler and the Nazis, partly because this sets the standard of evil too high, and allows Sharon too much latitude to do evil under the high Nazi bar. It seems to me that Hitler was a rank amateur compared to Sharon. Do you think Hitler would have been capable of what Sharon has been able to accomplish in only one year? Of course not. It took Hitler years to work his way up to the Holocaust. If Sharon can keep at it for even a few more years he will no doubt be seen as one of the great monsters of history.\nBoycott (or even boikott) Israel!\nIn July 2000, Arafat, Barak and Clinton met at Camp David to discuss peace. It was here that Barak presented his famous proposal, which was rejected by Arafat. The proposal has been depicted as being generous, unprecedented, as far as Israel could possibly go, and an offer the Palestinians couldn't refuse. In fact, it was nothing less than the creation of an unviable state, with the good land in the Occupied Terrirories being held by the Israeli settlers, and the Palestinian areas being oddly infiltrated by Israeli access roads. You would think that the minimum the Palestinians could accept would be the removal of all the illegal settlements. Despite the ridiculousness of the Barak proposal, Clinton put all the blame for the lack of agreement on Arafat. The conclusion that was drawn was that the Palestinian failure to agree to Barak's proposal must have meant that there was no Israeli proposal that the Palestinians would agree to, and that therefore their only goal must be the complete destruction of Israel. Of course, since Barak's proposal was in fact completely unacceptable, and since the whole method of negotiation was faulty, and since as it turned out the actual proposal was never actually submitted to the Palestinians, no fault or ulterior motive can be ascribed to the Palestinians for failure to accept it. Nevertheless, Israeli and American propagandists constantly cite this incident as their proof of the perfidity of the Palestinians. The suicide bombers are depicted as nothing less than part of the Palestinian efforts to destroy the state of Israel. Even though there is no way that the Palestinians could destroy Israel using suicide bombs (for one thing, they'd never find enough bombers), the propagandists have successfully combined the rejection of the Barak proposals and the suicide bombers to depict the current situation as nothing less than the Palestinian destruction of Israel, warranting the current outrages against the Palestinians as a form of self-defence. It is clear that no peace proposal is going to work unless the settlers are completely removed from the Occupied Territories, and any proposal by Israel that contains the provision that any settlers remain, let alone one that leaves a Palestinian state cut into cruel and bizarre shapes by the continuing Israeli obsession with the settlements, is a proposal tendered in bad faith.\nQuestions about the current outrages against the Palestinians which will reward further thought: 1) Why do so many people accept without question the Israeli-American lie that Barak's offer to the Palestinians was so unbelievably generous that the Palestinian failure to accept it indicates that they will settle for nothing less than the complete elimination of Israel (particularly ironic since the Zionist goal seems to be the complete elimination of any Palestinian state)? 2) Why is it so difficult to see that Sharon's every move has been intended to provoke enough Palestinian unrest (including suicide bombing) that will justify an Israeli response leading to the eventual ethnic cleansing of the Occupied Territories (not to mention Israel itself), and why are such plans completely invisible to the American press? 2A) The related issue of Israel's extremely complex relationship with Hamas. 3) What are the inherent contradictions in the Israeli Zionist right-wing plans, for security, demographic and religious reasons, to:\ncreate a greater Israel over land including the Occupied Territories\ncreate a 'wall' separating Israel from the Occupied Territories and expel the Arabs into the Occupied Territories\ncreate a series of 'bantustans' in the Occupied Territories to provide extremely cheap labour for Israeli industrial production\n(is it the contradictions between these goals that have thus far saved the Palestinians from even worse fates?)? 3A) The related question of the problem created for the Israelis by the settlers in the Occupied Territories who are there to create 'facts on the ground' for the purposes of controlling the Palestinian population by forcing it into smaller and smaller surrounded areas, but who also create severe problems for Israel as the settlers are on the wrong side of the proposed 'wall'. 4) What is the morality of suicide bombing (terrorism or the only means left to them of self-defence?), and would the Palestinians be better off espousing a Gandhi/MLK-like non-violent resistance, particularly in an atmosphere where the U. S. media studiously avoids covering the Palestinian 'problem' unless there is enough violence to make for good television ratings and where the Israeli response to non-violent Palestinian resistance would be bullets and military censorship? 4A) The related question of whether the Palestinians aren't already practising non-violent resistance simply by surviving 50 years in refugee camps. 5) Is there any truth to Arab conspiracy theories that all of the outrages against the Palestinians relate to American geopolitics in the Middle East, particularly the current preoccupation with Saddam Hussein and the ongoing preoccupation with oil? 6) Leaving aside all the religious/nationalist/globalist crap, what would a stable peace for Israel and the Palestinians look like?\nColin Powell is taking his sweet time getting to the Middle East, thus giving Sharon a few more days to work his magic on the Palestinians before he has to show homage to the Empire and back off for a while. American policy is thus eerily reminiscent of the massacres in Lebanon, where Sharon turned his back long enough for the Lebanese Falangists to do his dirty work.\n\"[Nobel Peace Prize] Committee chairman Geir Lundestad voiced the concern of several members that if Mr Arafat were to be killed as a result of Israeli actions, one Nobel laureate might in effect be said to have killed the other \".\nThere is an instructive collection of witness statements on the Pentagon attack now compiled. I find that the statements are of people who didn't actually see the crash, or from witnesses who are connected with the Pentagon (I don't mean to impugn their credibility, but we should be allowed to factor this in as we consider the whole weight of evidence), or contradict other evidence, or even suggest that something else may have happened other than the official story. You can learn a lot if you read the statements carefully: 1) The two first witnesses, 'Anon' and Donald \"Tim\" Timmerman, have clear testimony that an American Airlines passenger plane crashed into the Pentagon. 'Anon' is, well, anon, speaks like a pilot, and is from the Navy Annex. Mr. Timmerman is a navy pilot. 2) Christopher Munsey, John O\u2019Keefe, Omar Campo, a woman driver wanting to exit from Interstate 395, Brig. Gen. Clyde A. Vaughn, Alan Wallace, Mark Skipper, Dennis Young, Alfred S. Regnery, Sergeant Maurice L. Bease, Christine Peterson, Fred Gaskins, Aydan Kizildrgli, Kirk Milburn, Allen Cleveland, Meseidy Rodriguez, Oscar Martinez, and Daniel and Cynthia McAdams, all appear to have versions of the same story - each saw a plane fly overhead but did not actually see a crash into the Pentagon, although some heard the noise or saw the fire at some time later. 3) Captain Lincoln Liebner saw the plane hit a helicopter on the helipad (!), which is odd as no one else seemed to see this, the helipad appeared to be relatively undamaged, and this scenario is inconsistent with those who claim to have seen the plane crash directly into the wall of the Pentagon. He also heard people crying (?!) inside the wreckage. 4) Mike Walter, a USA Today reporter, saw an American Airlines jet, which slammed right into the Pentagon, but described it as 'a cruise missile with wings' (!). 5) Afework Hagos saw a plane which 'hit some lampposts on the way in' (!), although pictures of the scene appear to show all the lampposts intact (Kirk Milburn also thought the plane hit lampposts). 6) Dave Winslow, AP Radio Reporter, saw 'the tail of a large airliner' (I have no idea of what that means) and a CNN reporter saw a hole with some pieces of plane inside (but pieces of which plane?). 7) Steve Patterson, one of the most descriptive witnesses, saw 'a commuter jet which appeared to hold about eight to 12 people' (!), which 'sounded like the high-pitched squeal of a fighter jet' (!). 8) John Damoose was not a witness to the crash but claims to have seen pieces of the plane along Fort Meyer Drive, a bike trail (odd that we haven't seen any evidence of these pieces). 9) Father Stephen McGraw, who actually saw the crash, is another witness who saw the plane clip the top of a light pole, 'injuring a taxi driver' (?). 10) Ron Turner just saw the fire, as did the ARFF fire crews, who claim a plane was inside because they 'saw pieces of the nose gear'. 11) Ken Ford, a State Department employee, was watching the airport through binoculars (is this what they do for fun at the State Department?) and followed the plane from the airport until it hit the building. He said they thought it had been waived off (what does that mean?). 12) The pictures of Steve Riskus, who claims to have seen the crash, show the intact lampposts and the relatively undamaged helipad. 13) Mickey Bell was inside the Pentagon in an area near the crash but saw nothing of the plane except for debris afterwards. I don't understand what it could mean for him to be 'very nearly struck by one of the wings as they sped by him'. 14) Wayne T. Day didn't apparently see anything himself, but reports some vague hearsay. 15) Steve Snaman actually saw the plane crash into the Pentagon from across the river (and works for a military contractor). 16) Mark Bright, a security officer, saw the plane hit, but also claims it knocked down street lights. 17) Perhaps the most impressive witness, having a good story of actually seeing the crash and not in some way being connected to the Pentagon, is Joel Sucherman, USAToday.com Multimedia Editor. However, he confuses me when he says: 'almost like a heat-seeking missile was locked onto its target and staying dead on course'. We might be able to make some sense of all these confusing stories if only there were a shred of either physical or video evidence of the crash.\nThe suppressed scientific paper on the genetics of Israelis and Palestinians is becoming topical again. Professor Antonio Arnaiz-Villena and his co-authors studied the genetic make-up of Middle Eastern Israelis and Palestinians and found that they were almost identical. He published the paper in the scientific journal Human Immunology. In short order, the journal withdrew the paper, wrote libraries to ask them to remove the offending pages, took the article off the internet, apologized profusely, and removed the writer from its editorial board. All this was for a peer-reviewed article well within the ambit of the journal, the science of which has not in the least been impugned (some comments on the issue are here). If there was something they didn't like about the science, they did not have to publish it (and it is, after all, science, which progresses by publishing theses for others to consider and try to refute). Obviously, the problem only arose after it was published, when political objections arose. Fortunately, you can still read the article (it's short and easy to get the gist of). I think it was a mistake to use politically loaded words ('colonist' and 'concentration camps') in the article, no matter how appropriate they may be, but that hardly justifies the book-burning type of response. It may in fact be the historical remarks that caused the most offense - Israeli propaganda holds that the Palestinians are only recent inhabitants of the area (archeology and common sense are gradually proving that almost all of the 'history' derived from studying the Old Testament is actually just mythology - see the article by Daniel Lazare in the March 2002 Harper's). The only possible explanation for all this censorship is the political implications of the article. If Israelis and Palestinians are the same people, how can Israel: 1) force its soldiers to brutalize Palestinians and shoot innocent Palestinians, including children? 2) treat the Palestinians as an inferior animal-like race? 3) ignore and subvert the legitimate aspirations of its brother Palestinians to live normal, dignified lives in their own country (the same desire that led to the creation of Israel)? 4) institute a system of bantustans to use the Palestinians as a very low wage, quasi-slave workforce for Israeli industrial production? The Israelis want to have a colonial power relationship over the Palestinians, and it is not a coincidence that you never see such a relationship between people of the same race. It's as if some smart aleck came to Hitler with an article proving that the Aryans and the Jews were actually the same race.\nThere is a bit of humour in the plight of Arafat. Using some of the last power in his cell phone, he is interviewed by CNN's Christiane Amanpour, who wants to know his views on the U. S. call for him to rein in the Palestinian violence. He's besieged in his windowless room, surrounded by tanks and the Israeli army, having members of his staff executed by the Israelis, and she asks him about stopping the violence! The question just about sums up the complete inanity of American journalism. It is also funny that Israel attacks the Palestinians on the pretext that Arafat won't stop the violence. What do the Israelis do? Cut off Arafat's electricity and phone, and refuse to give him batteries for his cell phone. Presumably, they expect him to communicate his requests to stop the Palestinian violence by using telepathy.\nThe timing of the current Israeli brutality against the Palestinians is instructive. Just a few weeks ago, when the Americans were attempting to obtain Arab acquiescence to an attack on Iraq, the Americans were full of words of support for a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Of course, every time the Americans want something from the Arabs, they make these kind of noises. Once the Americans don't need Arab support anymore, they go back to supporting Israeli oppression. In this case, Dick Cheney toured the various Middle Eastern capitals, and got no support at all (it was one of the most embarrassing trips by a high U. S. official in recent American history). As soon as the useless trip was over, Sharon attacked. Coincidence? I think not. It became apparent to the U. S. that they weren't going to get the support they wanted, so it was no longer necessary for them to pay lip service to the idea of resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The conflict is in fact an important part of U. S. policy towards the Middle East. It serves the following purposes: 1) it gives the people in other countries in the Middle East, chafing under the various corrupt dictators who serve as stooges for the colonial power (originally Britain or France, now the U. S.), a sobering example in the Palestinians of what might happen to them if they get too uppity; 2) it creates an example of outrage around which to create a phony Arab nationalism which the various unpopular regimes use to maintain power; 3) it creates a huge need for Israeli arms purchases, which are paid for largely by U. S. tax dollars, which then flow back to the U. S. military-industrial complex; 4) Israeli arming provides an even more lucrative response from the Arab states, who arm themselves with more toys bought from the U. S. military-industrial complex, which arms are also used to suppress domestic unrest (it is not an accident that the British and Americans chose members of minority groups to run the Arab countries - these groups have no popular support and therefore support the interests of the colonial powers in return for the protection that keeps them in power); 5) support of Israel, particularly encouragement of Israeli violence and religious extremism, satisfies the weird evangelical protestant theology behind the current American regime; and 6) most importantly, general tension in the Middle East keeps the world oil price artifically high to the benefit of U. S. multinational oil companies and, in particular, domestic (i. e., Texas) oil producers, who can't compete at lower prices (much American foreign policy seems to consist of keeping the oil price high, but not too high, a bit of a juggling act). The problem with the current intifada is not the disruption that it causes, but the amount of disruption. Once the intifada had started to seriously affect the Israeli economy, the U. S. was suddenly interested in its supression (at least after the Americans no longer had to appear to be impartial). I think it is funny that some people are starting to criticize Bush for his lackadaisical efforts towards calming the situation, as if this were another example of Bush laziness, stupidity, or inattention, when the U. S. lack of response is exactly in line with its general policy. Israel can choose whatever brutal methods it wants to manage the Palestinians, as long as : 1) the Americans aren't trying to get Arab support for something; 2) the unrest doesn't get so out of hand that it requires repairs to the Israeli economy which will cost American money; or 3) most importantly, the methods don't have the effect of resolving the Israeli-Palestinian problem. The United States could resolve the whole problem tomorrow by insisting on the removal of settlers and soldiers from the Occupied Territories in return for a U. N. protective army surrounding Israel. The Americans don't resolve the problem because peace in the Middle East is against U. S. policy.\nThe book which claims the Pentagon crash was a hoax has become a best-seller in France. The Pentagon isn't currently under any pressure from the U. S. lapdog press, and so hasn't provided any evidence with respect to the crash (except for one video, which amazingly doesn't show anything). The book will almost certainly be translated into English, and assuming there is someone in the United States with enough courage to publish it, should scare up any unreleased video evidence showing the actual crash. It is absolutely inconceivable that there weren't many video cameras trained on the Pentagon, so if we aren't provided with any video tapes that should in itself be enough evidence to prove that Flight 77 didn't crash into the Pentagon.\nHenry the K. is starting to find it difficult to f...\nThe 'leftist' writers have been attacking Vreeland...\nAt the dawn of a new millenium, the Israelis have ...\nThe police in Sugar Land have now officially deter...\nIsrael is playing quite the game with the proposed...\nIt is apparently impossible to revoke a Nobel Peac...\nThe Le Pen success in the recent French election r...\nThere's talk about a possible Arab boycott of U.

        "raw_content": "Queenslanders urged to Get Ready for storm season\nWith the storm season just around the corner the Premier has urged Queenslanders to be prepared at the Get Ready Queensland Week (8-14 October) launch in Brisbane today.\nThe launch coincided with the Bureau of Meteorology\u2019s Cyclone and Severe Weather Outlook.\nPremier Annastacia Palaszczuk also launched the Queensland State Disaster Management Plan, which outlines how Queensland will prevent, prepare, respond to and recover from disasters.\n\u201cWe know that Queensland is the most disaster impacted state in Australia, with more than 60 disaster events since 2011,\u201d Ms Palaszczuk.\n\u201cWhat we want is for the community to check their \u2018WHAT IF?\u2019 plan and get ready to respond if a disaster strikes.\n\u201cWe know from experience that informed and prepared residents and communities are able to respond to and recover from disasters more quickly than those who don\u2019t.\n\u201cIt only takes one flood, one fire or one storm to impact a community and being prepared can save households from damage, destruction or even loss of life.\u201d\nMinister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning and Minister responsible for the Queensland Reconstruction Authority Cameron Dick said preparation was the key to protecting families and communities in a disaster.\n\u201cWe can\u2019t always predict where and when a disaster will happen, but what we do know is that in a state like Queensland, it will happen,\u201d Mr Dick said.\n\u201cGet Ready Queensland Week is a chance for Queenslanders to think about their families, homes and businesses, and what steps we can take to help keep them safe.\u201d\nBureau of Meteorology State Manager Bruce Gunn said severe thunderstorm activity increases in Queensland during spring and summer, typically peaking between October and December.\n\"Brisbane is particularly prone to severe thunderstorms and sees significantly more severe thunderstorm days than any other capital city in Australia,\u201d Mr Gunn said.\n\"The Tropical Cyclone Outlook released today, points to an average to slightly below average season due to the influence of a possible El Ni\u00f1o in the Pacific Ocean, which generally brings warmer and drier conditions to Queensland.\n\u201cOn average one in four tropical cyclones in the Coral Sea cross the coast, and it only takes one cyclone to make a significant season \u2013 as we have seen with the devastation caused by Tropical Cyclone Debbie last year.\n\u201cThe cyclone season usually runs from November to April, although one early season cyclone has already occurred in the southern hemisphere with Cyclone Liua, the first on record in the Fijian region in September.\n\"Indications for 2018-19 are for a lower than average chance of widespread major flooding but we anticipate major flooding somewhere in Queensland every wet season,\" he said.\nMinister for Fire and Emergency Services Craig Crawford said the Queensland State Disaster Management Plan positions our state as a national leader in managing natural disasters.\n\u201cRecent events have demonstrated how disasters can severely affect our communities, the economy and the environment, so it\u2019s important that we are all prepared and ready to respond and implement recovery arrangements when needed,\u201d Mr Crawford said.\n\u201cThe plan provides guidance to local and district disaster management groups, both of which perform vital roles in effectively managing disasters in Queensland.\u201d\nQueensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) Commissioner Katarina Carroll said strong disaster planning was critical to build a safe and resilient Queensland Community.\n\u201cQueensland agencies continue to work closely together to ensure a holistic and comprehensive approach to preparing for, responding to and recovering from disasters,\u201d she said.\nQueensland Police Service Deputy Commissioner Bob Gee said it was important that everyone in the community understood how they could protect themselves and their property in a disaster.\n\u201cPolice are committed to working with the entire community and will always be there for the them in times of disaster.\nThe Palaszczuk Government has committed $2 million to Get Ready Queensland to help councils prepare their communities for disaster in 2018-19.\nFor more information on Get Ready Queensland visit: https://getready.qld.gov.au/\nQueensland State Disaster Management Plan: www.disaster.qld.gov.au\n2018 Bathurst 1000 coverage (Updated 4:23 pm)\nSevere Thunderstorm Warning for October 8, 2018",

        "title": "The Strange Places I've Called Home: Part 1, Milwaukee - 80 Couches",
        "raw_content": "Authors Note: The idea of this series of posts came about during the usual mind-wanderings induced from a combination of a lack of caffeine and the blur that is my morning commute on the Munich public transit system. Between chapters in my book, I pause to people-watch, and occasionally even have larger insights to life in Munich, or humanity at large.\nIn particular, I had a moment when I arrived at my station when I briefly stood there in front of the doors, waiting for them to open. With a quick shake of my head, I realized I was not in Seoul anymore, these doors do not open automatically, and I needed to press the glowing little circle to let myself out, and I had better do it quickly as the locals behind me were getting restless. It\u2019s a little difference, one that the average Bavarian wouldn\u2019t notice, but seems strange to some outsiders.\nFrom there, my mind started racing. What were other strange customs from the places I\u2019ve called home? Had I ever lived in a normal place? What is normal? When I started to think about all of the places I\u2019ve lived, they all seemed to have their own peculiarities. In a word, they\u2019re all \u201cStrange.\u201d So, there only seems one appropriate place to start: The Beginning, 4:22 AM, December 21, 1982, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA.\nI was born on a typical late-December day in Milwaukee, which is to say, cold and grey. Or rather, cold and black, given the time of day of my arrival. My grandma, noticing the date fell on the Sagittarius/Capricorn cusp, wondered aloud what my astrological sign would be. My dad, who had just driven to the hospital, past the landmark frozen custard joint Kopps, replied, \u201cCaramel Cashew,\u201d their flavor of the day. For those of you who\u2019ve never had the divine pleasure of eating frozen custard (i.e. those of you from outside of Wisconsin), it\u2019s a lot like ice cream, only several orders of magnitude better. Had I been capable of thought, perspective, or insight, this might have been my first clue that I my birthplace was a strange one, to say nothing of my family.\nCaramel Cashew, my birth sign.\nIf there is a more overlooked city of equal or greater size in America, I\u2019d like to know about it. And it\u2019s a shame for the overlookers, because Milwaukee is one of the strangest places I know.\nSome places are stuck in a particular decade, and Milwaukee is definitely a place stuck in the 80s. Classic rock stations clog the radio waves. It is more common to hear 80s tunes in bars and clubs than it is to hear most other genres/decades. The aforementioned 1982 Milwaukee Brewers are still talked about in hushed, revered tones. Fans of the Brew Crew still prefer to sport the royal blue and mustard yellow of the 80s teams, as opposed to the more modern navy blue and gold. And given the choice between the classic MB Glove logo, or the modern stylized M logo, fans mostly choose the former. Realizing this, while also realizing the potential to make more money, the Brewers routinely wear throwback uniforms throughout the season.\nEven before the Brew Crew would define the city for the next few decades, a surprising move was made by one of Milwaukee\u2019s industrial giants, Harley-Davidson Motor Company. In 1981 a group of thirteen local investors bought back Harley-Davidson from AMF, and were largely responsible for rebuilding the brand\u2019s reputation, which had been fading for decades. Harley-Davidson had been spending a great deal of time, money, and effort trying to keep up with better, faster motorcycles from Japan. Under AMF\u2019s ownership, they even tried some ill-advised gimmicks, such as the infamous \u201cConfederate\u201d model, released in the late 70s.\nAnd whatever this is. Keep it real, Japan.\nUnder new management, Harley-Davidson turned its fortunes around, largely due to its decision to double-down on what they did best: making large, unresponsive, loud motorcycles. Today, Harley-Davidson is an iconic American symbol, one that is known world-wide, even for those who have never heard of Milwaukee. Indeed, one of the strangest days of my life was spent attending a Harley-Davidson festival in Nagasaki, Japan. The country that had driven the company to the brink, was now celebrating it with rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, and wiener dogs dressed in Harley jean jackets.\nNow, all of this might be interesting, but it might not be considered \u201cstrange\u201d to an outsider. So let\u2019s talk about Milwaukee\u2019s bar culture. Locals like to claim that Milwaukee has the most bars per capita in the U.S. The claim, might feel true, but according the U.S.A. Today, it\u2019s \u201conly\u201d fifth on that list. Regardless, I\u2019ve never been to a town with: A) So many bars, or B) So many unique and fantastic drinking establishments. Or, to put it in my girlfriend\u2019s terms while driving through the city early in the evening, \u201cI\u2019ve never seen so many bars! And they\u2019re all full!\u201d\nBar hopping in Milwaukee can take on a bit of a surreal feeling. One moment you can be enjoying a Pabst at the corner dive bar. The next, you can top off your micro-brew with a touch of sophistication at the Art Bar (which tries, and generally succeeds at bringing an art gallery into the bar). Suddenly, you find yourself far away from the chilly Wisconsin weather, drinking fruity cocktails at the Tiki bar, The Foundation. And if you can still walk after all that, you can do your best James Bond impression, and drink a martini at the spy-themed bar, The Safehouse (if you can remember the password).\nI could go on. In fact, I think I will. You can drink away your hangover and watch your favorite English soccer teams play live at The Nomad. If soccer isn\u2019t your thing, you can have your bloody Mary pretty much anywhere you please, though I would recommend the Wicked Hop, seeing as they try to serve you breakfast with all the random food they stick in the top of your drink. You can get in touch with Milwaukee\u2019s German heritage and grab a liter of the best Bavarian beer this side of the Atlantic at The Old German Beer Hall. The options are seemingly limitless.\nThe slogan says it all!\nThis bar culture, in large part, probably stems from the one thing Milwaukee is known for: beer. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Milwaukee saw a large influx of German immigrants, and with Germans, came beer. Breweries sprung up throughout the city, including Miller, Schlitz, and Blatz. More recently, Sprecher and especially Lakefront breweries have been continuing this brewing tradition.\nLakefront Brewery is an especially fantastic story. They currently reside in an building that used to run the city\u2019s long-defunct street cars. In the late 90s, the city was preparing to tear down the large,boxy, brick building, but instead, sold it for $1 to a couple of brothers who were brewing beer out of their garage. Now, they\u2019re selling more than 30,000 barrels a year, and it\u2019s available in 38 states and 7 countries. Their guiding philosophy is, \u201cEveryone should be able to enjoy a good beer,\u201d and they went on to produce the first 100% organic beer in the U.S., the first 100% gluten-free beer in the U.S., and all of their beer is kosher. The Lakefront Brewery tour is also the only such tour I\u2019ve ever been on that allows\u2013if not encourages\u2013the participants to drink throughout. It certainly beats a couple of small tastes at the end of the tour.\nMilwaukee, far more than most places, lets its residents find their niches. The locally owned restaurants, bars, and coffee shops give a paradoxical collective sense of individualism, which you only truly appreciate when you leave the city\u2019s confines, and find yourself at a Starbucks in suburbia. The laid-back \u201cWhatever goes\u201d attitude of most residents can almost be jarring to an outsider. People rarely wear more than a hoodie and jeans out to the bars, and those that do dress up are almost scoffed at. Who are they trying to impress? I once went out in a bathrobe and pajamas, simply because I had already undressed from the day, and didn\u2019t feel like putting pants back on. No one batted an eye.\nOf course, there are bad things about Milwaukee too. Latinos and blacks probably don\u2019t hold Milwaukee to the same esteem as I do, seeing how the city is the most segregated in America. It\u2019s a shame, because I think the city really sees itself as a mixing pot, having embraced large immigrant populations from Germany, Italy, Poland, and all across Europe. It\u2019s extremely sad. Milwaukee for me was (and in my mind, still is) restricted to the \u201cWhite\u201d areas. When I lived there, I was adding to the problem of segregation without even knowing it. Perhaps the strangest part of this city that I called home for nine years of my life, is how little I actually know it.\nRegardless, I do look back at my times in Milwaukee (those I can remember, at least) with fondness. Perhaps if Milwaukee were less cold, I could see myself returning there for more than a visit. That said, I\u2019ve never seen a city transform as quickly and enthusiastically as Milwaukee does at the first hint of summer. And the summers are glorious; good enough to leave you actually aching to go to a Brewers game, regardless of how bad they often are. When outsiders ask how you can spend so much of the year in such a cold climate, the standard Milwaukeean response is, \u201cBut the summers are great.\u201d\nI spent a great deal of my formative years there, and I still generally root for Wisconsin teams. I took with me the \u201cTo each their own\u201d laid-back aspect of Milwaukee culture, one that made adjusting to life in the South, particularly as a non-Christian, all the more difficult.\nAnd one of these days, I\u2019ll actually try Caramel Cashew frozen custard.\nThe Strange Places I\u2019ve Called Home series will continue with the next installment: South Florida.\nTags: Bar Culture Beer Brewers Kopps Frozen Custard Milwaukee Strange Places\n\u2190 The Strange Places I\u2019ve Called Home: Introduction, 1982\nLessons from Nowhere: Punta Arenas, Chile \u2192\n5 comments for \u201cThe Strange Places I\u2019ve Called Home: Part 1, Milwaukee\u201d\nPingback: The Strange Places I've Called Home: Part 2, South Florida | 80 Couches\nPingback: Bluebird Cafe, Nashville - 80 Couches",

        "raw_content": "Healy, James (Jim) (1898\u20131961)\nby Ray Markey and Stuart Svensen\nJames Healy (1898-1961), by unknown photographer\nJames (Jim) Healy (1898-1961), trade unionist, was born on 22 March 1898 at West Gorton, Manchester, England, son of Dominic Healy, corporation labourer, and his wife Mary Ellen, n\u00e9e Schaill, a cotton-mill worker. Educated at the parish school of St Francis of Assisi, Gorton, Jim was influenced by his father's Irish republicanism and at age 8 began assisting electoral canvassers for the Labour Party. In 1915 he enlisted in the 8th Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. He was wounded in action on the Western Front and discharged medically unfit in 1918.\nFinding regular employment scarce in England, Healy moved to Scotland where he initially worked as a plate-layer with the tramways. At St Cuthbert's Catholic Church, Edinburgh, on 19 July 1919 he married Elizabeth McGowan, a woollen weaver. They emigrated to Queensland with their three young sons in 1925. He found jobs as a fireman and boiler-attendant at the Mackay powerhouse, and from 1927 as a labourer on the town's wharves. In 1928 he was elected to the local committee of management of the Waterside Workers' Federation of Australia and was the union's delegate to the Mackay branch of the Australian Labor Party. Next year he was appointed to the trades and labor council at Mackay and began his first term as branch president of the W.W.F.\nHealy became disillusioned with the A.L.P. after witnessing the Queensland Labor government's inability to aid the plight of the unemployed in the Depression. A union-sponsored study trip to the Soviet Union in 1934 reinforced his growing belief that the communists best represented the interests of workers. He and Ben Scott wrote a pamphlet about their experiences, Red Cargo (Sydney, 1934), and Healy joined the Communist Party of Australia, remaining a staunch member for the rest of his life.\nWorking conditions and pay for wharf labourers were poor in the 1930s and the men were divided between two unions, the W.W.F. and the Permanent and Casual Wharf Labourers' Union of Australia. Strikes in 1917 and 1928 had weakened the W.W.F. and there was an influx of non-union labour during the Depression. Healy realized that change was necessary at a national level. He moved to Sydney about 1936 and at the union's all-ports conference in October 1937 was elected general secretary of the W.W.F. In 1939 he transferred its head office from Melbourne to Sydney. Starting with no money, little assets and few prospects, he began to turn the federation into a modern, effective union. He had obtained approval at the 1937 conference for a national policy to be adhered to by all branches and for the establishment of a national journal, the Maritime Worker, of which he became editor.\nIn 1937-38 Healy led public campaigns in support of the Sydney waterside workers' bans against loading scrap metal for Japan and by the Port Kembla men against loading pig-iron destined for the same country. The federation was able to strengthen its position during World War II due to the increased demand for wharf labour and the need to expedite the shipment of war materials. A member (1942-49) of the Stevedoring Industry Commission, Healy secured substantial pay rises for his unionists and the replacement of the 'bull' system (in which overseers selected workers like cattle) by rotating gangs. In return, the W.W.F. executive encouraged the men to put maximum effort into loading and unloading military supplies. Healy again demonstrated his commitment to broader political issues by leading the boycott (1945-49) on Dutch ships carrying goods which could be used to crush the Indonesian independence movement.\nHealy's greatest challenge and ultimate triumph was the absorption into the W.W.F. of the rival P.C.W.L.U., a union detested by many of his comrades for having been formed by 'scabs'. This amalgamation\u2014commenced in 1946 and completed in 1955\u2014underlined Healy's determination and his capacity for strategic thinking. In the 1949 coalminers' strike he had been gaoled for contempt of court, after refusing to reveal the location of money withdrawn from the bank to assist the strikers. Sentenced to twelve months imprisonment, he apologized and was released after five weeks. The industrial groups within the unions attacked communist officials in the 1940s and 1950s, but Healy was able to shrug off all challenges to his position. He took an active part in the successful campaign (1950-51) against the Menzies government's attempt to ban the Communist Party.\nMenzies' administration introduced the Stevedoring Industry Act (1954) which established a committee of inquiry into the industry and aimed to put an end to the W.W.F.'s monopoly on the supply of wharf labour. Supported by the Australian Council of Trade Unions, the federation struck in protest. Healy appeared before the committee of inquiry and produced evidence to show that high stevedoring charges in Australia stemmed less from excessive labour costs than from collusion between the shipping companies to keep rates as high as possible. None the less, the government pressed ahead in 1956 with new legislation aimed at weakening the federation and the improvements it had gained in working conditions and safety provisions. In 1957 he was appointed to the A.C.T.U. executive as the representative of the transport unions.\nHealy died of a cerebrovascular accident on 13 July 1961 in St Vincent's Hospital, Darlinghurst, and was cremated; his wife, daughter and sons survived him. An atheist, he was given a 'comrade's farewell' in the W.W.F. Hall, Sussex Street. Hundreds of mourners filed past the open coffin and The Internationale was played. His funeral cort\u00e8ge stretched for nearly a mile and blocked city traffic for more than an hour.\nThe universal respect for 'Big Jim's' integrity and dedication was demonstrated by the tributes paid to him after his death by his political opponents and spokesmen for the employers. The Bulletin referred to him as the 'best single P.R. device the Australian Communists ever had'. As his nickname suggests, he was a large man, and he was often pictured smoking a pipe. Portraits by Newton Hedstrom and Ralph Sawyer are held at the Maritime Union of Australia's offices in Sussex Street. Healy's capacity for analytical thinking, his unflappable personality and his patient persistence were instrumental in unifying the wharf labourers' unions, and in gaining improvements in wages and conditions. He was a communist, and also a democrat. Asked when Australia would become socialist, he had replied, 'When fifty-one per cent of the people think as we do'.\nR.

        "raw_content": "\u201cFires will break out unexpectedly and no human effort will be able to quench them. The palaces of earth will be swept away in the fury of the flames\u201d (Last Day Events, p. 24).\nIt is heartbreaking to see the deadly fires and heat waves devastating our world. Our hearts and thoughts go out to all the victims as we witness the loss of lives and property. The damage is not over as the fires and heat continues to rage and the death toll continues to rise.\nNorthern California is being devistaed by wildfires as 3,400 firefighters battle an firestorm that has left two firefighters dead and 500 homes destroyed. [1]\nDozens of fires are still burning in Kineta, Greece, 30 miles east of Athens. Residents have had to flee to the beach and jump into the water just to escape the blazing inferno. The death toll has climbed to 80 but is expected to rise. [2]\nJapan has just declared a national emergency due to a deadly heat wave that has already killed 65 people. They are seeing historic temperatures as more than 22,000 people suffered heat strokes and were taken to the hospital. [3]\nHere in the Southwestern United States some communities are battling with 120 degree temperatures. [4] Many places in Texas, Arizona, Utah and California are seeing record temperatures as officials are warning people to stay indoors.\nThe choking levels of smoke created by wildfires at Yosemite National Park has made the air so hazardous that the air pollution is worse than in Beijing, China \u2013 one of the world\u2019s most polluted cities. The air around the park has become unhealthy to even breathe. [5]\nMany believe that these events are simply due to normal fluctuating weather patterns, because during the summer months we always have fire seasons. But the weather conditions we are seeing are not normal. Over the last couple of years we have been experiencing some of the most extreme natural disasters ever witnessed before. Human life and property are being threatened as these catastrophes become more frequent and intensive. [6]\nWe are given an explanation as to why this is taking place:\n\u201cIn fires, in floods, in earthquakes, in the fury of the great deep, in calamities by sea and by land, the warning is given that God\u2019s Spirit will not always strive with men\u201d (Manuscript Releases, Vol. 3, p. 315).\nThe more evil and sinful our world becomes, the less protected we seem to be. God is being rejected more and more as our society legislates sin and evil through laws. [7] The rise in extreme weather conditions is in proportion to the rise of extreme corruption, idolatry, wickedness, drunkenness, violence and crime. What is it going to take for people to return back to God in humility, repentance and obedience?\n\u201cOught men to be surprised over a sudden and unexpected change in the dealings of the Supreme Ruler with the inhabitants of a fallen world? Ought they to be surprised when punishment follows transgression and increasing crime? Ought they to be surprised that God should bring destruction and death upon those whose ill-gotten gains have been obtained through deception and fraud? Notwithstanding the fact that increasing light regarding God\u2019s requirements has been shining on their pathway, many have refused to recognize Jehovah\u2019s rulership, and have chosen to remain under the black banner of the originator of all rebellion against the government of heaven. The forbearance of God has been very great\u2014so great that when we consider the continuous insult to His holy commandments, we marvel. The Omnipotent One has been exerting a restraining power over His own attributes. But He will certainly arise to punish the wicked, who so boldly defy the just claims of the Decalogue\u201d (Prophets and Kings, p. 276).\n[1] http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6002225/Eerie-images-devastation-left-wildfires-raging-California.html\n[2] https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/07/25/greece-wildfires-rescuers-search-charred-homes-death-toll-74/\n[3] https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/japan-heatwave-latest-death-toll-killed-natural-disaster-hot-weather-high-a8461336.html\n[4] https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-southwest-swelters-temps-120-forecast-174416080.html\n[5] https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/07/23/yosemite-fire-parks-air-pollution-now-worse-than-beijings-due-to-heavy-smoke/\n[6] https://www.livescience.com/414-scientists-natural-disasters-common.html\n[7] http://adventmessenger.org/the-u-s-supreme-court-continues-to-redefine-marriage-and-families/",

        "raw_content": "\u201cBut as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.\u201d Matthew 24:37.\nWhen you look at the violent crimes, the mass shootings, the terror attacks, the armed conflicts, the nuclear proliferations, the global arms race and the massive, historic increase in military spending by all the developed nations \u2013 the message is obvious. Our world is not headed towards peace, security and mutual trust and cooperation. No, the world is amassing and developing more and more weapons in record numbers to prepare for war, death and bloodshed.\nSouth Korea, Japan, China and North Korea are spending record \u201cbillions\u201d as they compete with each other in a new arms race. This increase in military spending comes just two weeks after the US increased its defense spending with a record $700 billion military budget.\nWe know that this kind of rapid escalation cannot just keep building up without some kind of consequence. There is a day of reckoning when nations spend this kind of record numbers on weapons designed to kill their fellow-men. This is a return to the days of Noah, for God\u2019s word describes these very scenes.\nThe only hope for our world is in the coming of Christ. All those who are innocently suffering due to the irresponsible and reckless spending of billions of dollars by their political leaders will soon have their prayers answered. Soon Christ will come bring an end to all these abuses and establish an everlasting kingdom of peace and justice.\n\u201cAnd he (Christ) shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.\u201d Isaiah 2:4.\nOur hope is not in earthy diplomacy. The governments of this world are not going to save us. They are actually making plans on how to destroy men in greater numbers. The United Nations cannot prevent the armed conflicts that are looming. Science and technology will not save the world, they have only created more destructive and powerful weapons. Our only hope is in the coming of the Lord.\n\u201cIn the days of Noah the overwhelming majority was opposed to the truth, and enamored with a tissue of falsehoods. The land was filled with violence. War, crime, murder, was the order of the day. Just so will it be before Christ\u2019s second coming\u201d (Bible Commentary, Vol. 1, p. 1090).\nWhat the world needs is a spiritual awakening. We need leaders and citizens who will love, fear and obey God. Without this spiritual awakening, it\u2019s only a matter of time before the bombs start flying. Our world needs to realize that only when we humble ourselves before God and pray and seek His face and turn from our evil way \u2013 only then can we have true lasting peace and all wars and violence will cease.\n\u201cIf 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.\u201d 2 Chronicles 7:14.",

More and more tragedies are erupting as these reckless, destructive episodes of murder continue. The cycle of violence is boiling over in America. Peace, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is being critically undermined as our society tries to make sense of the most recent, senseless act of terror \u2013 and there are many to choose from.\n1. At least eight people are dead and more than a dozen injured after a terrorist mowed down people with a truck in a busy New York City park.\n2. A crazed man in Denver walked into a Walmart and started shooting people. Three people were fatally shot as customers ran for their lives.\n3. The recent Las Vegas shooting killed 59 people and wounded another 527 as a man used high powerful rifles that were modified with automatic fire. This tragedy was planned during a music concert in order to maximize the casualties.\nThere are no safe places anymore. We are not safe in the cities nor in the country settings. We are not safe in the schools, churches, malls, theaters, parks, concerts, clubs, restaurants or workplaces. In all of these locations there have been violent acts of terror and mass shootings. This kind of wickedness is the ruin of human society.\n\u201cThat this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD.\u201d Isaiah 30:9.\nHollywood is helping to perpetuate the savagery by glorifying violence in the theaters. Television is also filled with killings and shootings. Violent video games are training people and children in the arts of assassination. Our generation has become desensitized to violence as we are constantly being flooded with aggressive behavior by the entertainment industry.\nWe have created a society that is based on violence and mental illness. Everyone is suffering. We are fulfilling the very same description found in the book of Genesis 6:11. The earth back then was filled with violence, death and injustice towards men. Today, this same culture of violence is alive.\n\u201cThe earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.\u201d Isaiah 24:4, 5.\nWe have failed to identify that there is a direct correlation between the increase in violence and the loss of values, the disregard of the sanctity of life, the lack of parenting and the degradation of morality.\n\u201cI have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father\u2019s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord\u201d 1 Kings 18:18.\nThe perpetrators of these heinous acts have no conscience or fear of God. We are contending with brute beasts and demon-filled murderers who have no regard or respect for life. The plague of violence that fills the earth is one that should not exists. We have been given the remedy to stop all of this insanity. Sadly, those who are removing God and His moral law from society are sowing seeds for a terrible harvest of death and destruction:\n\u201cThose who teach the people to regard lightly the commandments of God sow disobedience to reap disobedience. Let the restraint imposed by the divine law be wholly cast aside, and human laws would soon be disregarded\u2026Life itself would not be respected\u201d (Great Controversy, p. 585).\nOur civilized world has turned into den of assassins. Peace and happiness is forfeited when men and women disregard the moral restraints of God\u2019s word.\n\u201cLawlessness, dissipation, and corruption are sweeping in upon us like an overwhelming tide\u2026The infatuation of vice, the wanton taking of life, the terrible increase of intemperance and iniquity of every order and degree, should arouse all who fear God, to inquire what can be done to stay the tide of evil\u201d (Great Controversy, p. 585).\nWhen the principles of truth, righteousness and justice are set aside, the door is opened for the prince of darkness to do his work. When God\u2019s law and gospel are rejected there is nothing left to stay the workings of radicalism, extremism, hate, violence and terrorism.",

        "title": "Yom Kippur Sermon 2012 - 5773 | Ahavat Olam",
        "raw_content": "Good Yom Tov,\nSo why are we here today and what are we supposed to be doing? Well, we know, of course that this is the day of atonement: The day we are to do an audit of our souls. A day of circumspection when we ask ourselves what we are doing well, and what we can do better. On this day we reflect deeply and honestly, and then change the trajectory of our lives to be more pleasing to God and to our fellow man. Can we all agree on that? That this is, in fact, why we are all here? OK. The title of my sermon today, however is \"Finding the Joy in Yom Kippur\" We use adjectives like \"serious\" and \"solemn\" to describe this day. It is considered the strictest and most solemn day of the Jewish year. A day of physical deprivation. Many of us will be getting hungry, and as the day goes on, some of us get tired and cranky. We spend the morning beating our chests and listing our sins, with liturgy that reminds us how very fragile our lies are. Perhaps you have always considered this day to be profound, transformative, meaningful, deep ---Well it's all these things, but that Yom Kippur could be joyful? Well, you may not have thought about this day as being particularly joyful.\nBut there is joy, the joy is the recognition that on this one day, more than any other day of the year, we truly take the time to connect with God, and when we do, for just a few minutes, we are able to put aside the troubles and pain in our life, and feel the happiness and, yes the joy, of being in God's presence. While we no longer feel the special joy that our ancestors in Biblical days experienced on a daily basis, when dwelling in God's immediate presence, on Yom Kippur we re-engage God and reclaim his place in our lives. Throughout the year, God often visits us but, honestly, most of the time we aren't home. On this day, however, God is invited to enter by a private door, into each of our lives.\nRemember, we are God's chosen people, chosen to be part of a covenant between God and the Jewish people over three thousand years ago at Sinai, and that covenant extended to their descendants for all generations to come, an everlasting covenant that continues this day. The covenant entails mutual commitments and responsibilities. As His responsibility, God assured the Jewish people of his everlasting love and protection. Remembering that assurance today, in itself, should certainly be a cause for joy. Of course, as our responsibility in this covenant, we, in turn must be loyal to God, follow his commandments, live ethically and teach our children to, as well. We are also expected to be a light unto all the peoples of the world, and set an example based on the principles of Torah.\nYom Kippur is also a joyous day because it is the day that God forgives us. We should feel that a weight has been lifted off our shoulders. The burden of guilt and shame that we have been carrying around has been taken from us. This day gives us a \"fresh start\", a clean slate (provided we have taken the ten day journey of repentance, which began on Rosh Hashanah). We should feel joy, because getting rid of all that baggage allows us to move about more freely and unburdened in the year to come, (until we buildup more baggage). But this is our chance to bend the moral arc of the universe, at least a little bit, in favor of goodness and justice, by striving to be better; better next year than we were last year. To be partners with God in the pursuit of a more perfect world.\nJudaism teaches that what goes around comes around. You want good, do good, and good will find you. You want bad (personally, I don't believe any one really wants bad) but, do bad and bad will find you. We all must consciously work on cultivating the \"doing good\" alternative. On Yom Kippur and every day, we should focus on the joy derived from doing good. We should learn to recognize the joy we can bring to each other's lives, and delight that it is so. By perpeuating the joy of mitzvot, the joy of community, of familyand friends, we initiate an endless chain of goodness to assist God in that pursuit of a more perfect world.\nUtopia would be if everyone always chose the \"doing good\" alternative, but unfortunately stuff happens. Yom Kippur reminds us that we cannot control everything, but what really matters is under our conrol. The prescription for joy and happiness, is to be involved in a life filled with values, meaning and significance. It is to recognize all the gifts that come our way and appreciate these gifts and those around us. The National Institute of Health recently funded a study on just what makes people joyous and happy. They indicate the number one thing is to discover our strengths, and utilize them for good in the community. Well we already knew that. Torah tells us we are all created in God's image and must believe in our own ability to create, and use that ability to assist our fellow man. The second thing is to perform acts of altruism and kindness. We know that one too. Torah tells us to give tzedakah and be kind, just as God is. The third thing is being grateful. Here they suggest a \"Gratitude Journal,\" a book in which we list our blessings, each day. Their study says that when people actually take the time to do this, their happiness level increases greatly in as little as a few weeks. Our tradition also teaches the importance of gratitude. Observant Jews recite the Modim prayer, part of the Amidah, three times a day. This prayer expresses gratitude to HaShem. So in essence Judiasm embraces the top three requisites needed for us to be happy and joyful.\nAmericans might think they have the answer to finding happiness and joy, by collectively spending hundreds of billions of dollars on entertainment each year; movies, sports, vacations, fancy cars and lavish homes. These are supposed to bring us happiness and joy. The truth is, for most people at least, all it brings is a distraction, a fleeting distraction from the realities of life. One study even compared those who won the lottery with those who didn't and discovered that there was no increase in jou or happiness, or decrease in unhappiness, past the first few days. As we've often head said, money just doesn't bring happiness. (Between us, somehow I still find it a little more comfortable kvetching in a Lexus than a Yugo, but, that's just me). Seriously though, true happiness and joy really come from being happy with our lot, with the love we receive, and with having the ability to give to others and know, deep down, that we are making a contribution to those things that mean most to us.\nAre we spending our days doing things that are important to us? Are our actions consistent with the kind of person we want to be, or are we just doing what we have always done? Yom Kippur is a day when we realize that if we're not pleased with the anwers to these questions, we can still change. Let this Yom Kippur be a day of joy for all of us. Let us find the courage to change what needs to be changed so that we emerge from this long day, celebrating a life that will bring us fulfillment and joy. Yom Kippur is, in the end, a day of joy. Joy at the prospect of change for the better, the prospect of our being who we always wanted to be. For these reasons, we can find joy in all that we do today, as we look within, for what truly gives us meaning.\nThat's why I am urging that all of us more fully engage in volunteerism this year. Getting more involved in things that interest us and that are happening around us. And what better place to start this than here at Ahavat Olam. WHy Ahavat Olam? Because you have to start somewhere, and the world is still a very big place, and it's hard to figure out where to start. After all, this is your community, a place filled with people who know you, and want to share time working with you. I, know for a fact that your participation would be welcomed with open arms. There's lots to do. From joining our Mitzvah Angels, to helping with our food drives, to assisting Kim in the office to helping with our Interfaith Dialogue Outreach Programs, to helping with our fund raising activities, to assisting with the Oneg Shabbat, to joining one of the Temple's standing committees or starting a new committee, if you see a need. Then there's my favorite, assisting with the leading of Shabbat services, either when Rabbi Danny is away, or contributing to one of his regular Shabbat services by reading a favorite passage or appropriate poem, at any time. If you like to sing, come to our Solcial Hall almost any Tuesday evening and give our Chorale Society a try. You don't even have to read music or understand Hebrew; Just love singing. Whatever you do and whereever your decide to volunteer, my point is get involved.\nFor many of us, Ahavat Olam is the center of our Jewish community life, and the source of much of our joyful and spiritual inspiration. Whether on Yom Kippur or any other day, it's where we go to pray, to connect with HaShem, to connect with one another. It's where we learn about Jewish subjects and discuss current events and anything else we care to talk about with our fellow congregants. It's where our children and grandchildren learn about Judaism and where our families go to celebrate Jewish holidays and event.\nAs many of you know, I get a great deal of joy from music and singing. I always enjoy the very unique Erev Rosh Hashanaha service the the Prima Bima Band, and the amazing music Rabbi Danny so skillfully blends with the holiday prayers. But the service today is especially exciting. It's joyful and spiritually uplifting to me. It's like being awash in music and prayer among a sea of floating whiteness. It's not just the power of the day and the prayers, or even the power of the community, but it's seeing and hearing each person pouring out his or her heart, for the purpose of offering up this amazing morning directly to God. Today we tap into that endless reservoir of joy and spiritual excitement that is Yom Kippur. Wouldn't it be swell if we could bring that joy and spiritual excitement into or daily lives?",

        "raw_content": "There are quite a few \u201csuper foods\u201d being touted for their health benefits today, but most are not nearly as impressive as aloe vera gel. This guide will introduce you to aloe vera and the most impressive health benefits of aloe vera gel that are known to this day. Research into the aloe plant continues to be performed, so it is likely that even more health benefits of aloe vera gel will be proven in years to come.\nWhat is Aloe Vera Gel?\nAloe vera is one of around 400 succulent plants in the aloe genus. Aloe plants naturally grow in Africa, though it has also been known to grow naturally in some other areas of the world. Today, aloe vera plants are commonly grown indoors as houseplants for those interested in taking advantage of the many proven benefits of the gel found within the plant\u2019s leaves. Potted plants can be grown in any location as long as they are provided with a lot of sunlight and warmth with a little water.\nAloe vera gel is found when you break the tip off of a leaf from an aloe vera plant. This gel is completely safe to use directly from the plant and has been used around the world for many years to soothe the sting of burns and scrapes. This is the most basic use of the gel, but there are many other benefits that have now been proven through research.\nToday, aloe vera gel is sold in practically every pharmacy department and drug store in the Western world. It is also being incorporated into skincare products and lotions. Yet, natural gel remains the most commonly sought after form.\nThe Health Benefits of Aloe Vera Gel\nAloe vera gel has been in use in Africa thousands of years and it has been a popular product in the Western world for many generations. Scientific research has been conducted on the benefits of the gel for many years and the results have verified the following health benefits of aloe vera gel:\nAloe vera gel soothes the pain caused by burns, scrapes and other skin wounds.\nAloe vera is effective in healing skin wounds and preventing infection.\nAloe gel moisturizes the skin and leaves it incredibly soft with a healthy glow.\nAloe can help treat a variety of skin problems from acne to psoriasis and eczema.\nAloe can boost the immune system.\nFinding High Quality Aloe Vera Gel\nIf you could use some of those listed benefits in your life, you have to take the time to find a very high quality aloe vera gel. Cheap gels typically contain very low concentrations of aloe vera, so they are not nearly as effective as higher quality gels with more natural aloe vera content. Following are some tips for picking out a high quality aloe vera product:\nMake sure aloe vera is first or second in the ingredient list.\nConsider any added ingredients beyond aloe. Make sure they are safe for your skin and effective for the stated purpose on the bottle.\nDifferent aloe vera gel products are intended for different uses and different areas of the body. Make sure your chosen product matches up to your needs.\nAloe gel products can be as simple as gels intended to soothe sunburn or as complicated as collagen-stimulating formulas for the face.\nSarah - November 7, 2011 4:40 pm\nThank you so much for this article. I recently got a really bad sunburn while on vacation and had purchased some cheap aloe vera gel at the grocery store and it wasn\u2019t helping at all.

        "raw_content": "We all know what speeding can do on the road. Speed can kill. But speeding also can kill your speech. There are many reasons why people speak fast when they are presenting. They worry that what they have to say is not important or is boring. They have been told that they have to cut down their speech, so they speed it up to get everything in. Or, they are so afraid to speak that they just want to rush and get it over with.\nMy Speech is Dull\nSome presenters lament about having to give boring stats. If the presenter is bored, the audience will be too. As Henry Ford said, \u201cIf you think you can or think you can\u2019t you\u2019re right!\u201d If the presenter thinks his speech is boring, it will be! A good idea is to start with a story. Since we were kids we all like to hear a story. Now this takes a bit of creativity for the speaker, but I guarantee the audience will be engaged right off the bat.\nWhat, I have less time?\nI have been to so many speeches, and given them myself, when I prepared for a certain length of time only to be told when I got to the event that my speech would have to be shortened. It is a big mistake to tell this to the audience. The show must go on and what the audience doesn\u2019t know won\u2019t hurt them. By telling the audience, they are already on guard worried about what you will say. And it is disastrous if you think you can just speed up your speech to fit everything in. Hopefully you have practiced your speech out loud, so that it will be easy for you to cut it down.\nLast spring I went to hear Gil Penalosa of 8 80 Cities speak about building successful cities and healthy communities. I can\u2019t remember much of what he said but I do remember how he made me feel. He was so passionate about his speech and made me think about our city in a different way. Find your passion in the speech. Yes, even if it is a year end report! Why is it important for the audience to hear what you are going to say?\nMany presenters are so fearful that they just want to say their speech and get it over with. So, they rattle through. To that I say, give us the handout and let us go home! You have been asked to speak. And unless you are speaking to a Junior high audience who, from my experience having a couple of sons, hate you the minute you step on the stage, the audience wants you to succeed. They want to hear what you have to say. Approximately 48 hours after hearing a speech we retain about 10% of the information. The audience may not remember what you said, but they will remember the feeling you gave them. This is the first time the audience hears your speech, give them the time to register what you have to say. Think of reading a story to a child or in my case, an elderly person who refuses to wear hearing aids! Take the time to land your thoughts. That gives you time to settle into your speech and breathe and gives the audience time to register what you are saying.\nBreathe, Breathe, Breathe!\nWhen we read the newspaper, or a story online, the period at the end of the sentence is there for a reason. It is there to inform us that the thought has ended. Often speakers neglect the poor period and barrel through. Take the time to breathe when there is a period. Again, it gives the audience time to register what you have said.\nEnjoy your speech. Think of it as an opportunity to give your expertise. Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes says \u201cWhen I was on the line for my 5,000 metre race, nerves and all, I would take a deep breath and say to myself, seven minutes, seven minutes and it\u2019s over. What are you going to do with the next seven minutes? And that was pretty much it. That put me in the mindset that this has a beginning and an end. The in between is up to me. Back to the realization that it was an opportunity, not a chore.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "QUESTION: In which technology was the Zenith Radio Company NOT an early pioneer?\nA). Telegraph\nB). Wireless Remote Control\nC). HDTV\nD). FM Radio\nThe technological innovations accomplished by American industries during the late-nineteenth century and much of the twentieth century are difficult to compile in one short blog. Life around the world changed because of the work of such creative leaders as George Westinghouse, Nikola Tesla, and Thomas Edison. Of course, those were the celebrity inventors of the era, while countless other men and women (when given the chance) should be listed among them as the greats. Ralph Matthews and Karl Hasse are two names very few people recognize today, and it's likely no one gave them much thought when they established the Chicago Radio Labs in 1918 as a resource for amateur radio lovers. Within a few years, they changed their company's name to Zenith and grew their staff. A love of the radio drove them and, during the 1920's, their company grew to become a contender. They competed with such brands as Atwater Kent and Crosley, and stood out with their portable radios, first introduced in 1924, the first mass-produced AC radios they began production on in '26, and the first push-button tuning the next year. They continued with their innovations and, the same year they produced their first television, they introduced the Model 6-D-311 midget radio.\nThe sleek Art Deco design of the 6-D-311 was created by Robert Budlong of Zenith and became a signature piece of functional art. The tabletop model came without a handle (there would be another Zenith with that option). The swirled walnut-style Bakelite shell was offered in 'Franciscan brown' coloring, a complement to any modern home at the time. Offering only AM stations, the radio sold for $14.95 brand new. And it was a celebrity, too, making an appearance in the 1940 Andy Hardy film Strike Up the Band starring Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland. Now, we at the American Treasure Tour can't verify that the Zenith 6-D-311 is the actual radio from the film, in fact, we have much confidence it is not that specific radio, but we still love to have it in our collection. We highly recommend coming to the tour to see this special radio, as well as all the other newly-received radios from the John O'Malley collection. And everything else you can see and hear here at the Treasure Tour!\nANSWER: A).

        "raw_content": "New Year\u2019s Day is, in the Church year, the Feast of the Holy Name, the day on which Jesus was circumcised and named. Jewish law required that baby boys be circumcised on the 8th day after their birth, and January 1 is 8 days after Christmas by the Jewish way of counting both the first and the last days.\nGod told Mary (Luke 1:31) and Joseph (Matthew 1:21) to name their baby Jesus. That His Name was given by divine direction was confirmed at His circumcision, \u201cAnd at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb\u201d (Luke 2:21).\nThe angel had explained to Joseph the reason for choosing this name: \u201cYou shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins\u201d (Matthew 1:21). \u201cJesus\u201d is Greek for the Hebrew name, \u201cJoshua,\u201d which means \u201cthe Lord saves.\u201d The first Joshua, Moses\u2019 successor, led the people out of the wilderness into the Promised Land. Jesus is the new Joshua, the one who leads his people out of the bondage to sin into the promise of everlasting life.\nThere is great power in the precious Name of Jesus, and we are always boldly and joyfully to proclaim that Name.\nThat\u2019s the clear message of Scripture. Arrested for healing and preaching in the Name of Jesus, the Apostle Peter declared to the authorities, \u201cLet it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead\u2014by him this man is standing before you well. This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved\u201d (Acts 4:10-12).\nEven when they were forbidden to use the Name of Jesus, they courageously prayed, \u201cLord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus\u201d (Acts 4:29-30).\nIn our culture you can say a lot of things about religion and people will yawn, but if you bring in the Name of Jesus, there will be opposition. The Name of Jesus is \u201cthe Name above every name\u201d (Philippians 2:9). There is power in His Name and He alone is the means of salvation. We must never be ashamed of or compromise over His life-giving.\nSo Happy New Year in the great and mighty Name of Jesus Christ, the only Lord and only Savior of the world!\nEternal Father, you gave to your incarnate Son the holy Name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every heart, we pray, the love of him who is the Savior of the world, our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting.

        "raw_content": "Most people are familiar with squirrels, but may not be aware that members of the squirrel family (Sciuridae) can be divided into two basic groups: tree squirrels and ground squirrels. Tree squirrels are arboreal. Not only do they nest in trees, but they also often mate and forage in trees. Ground squirrels are primarily terrestrial. Though some may climb several feet up the trunk of a tree, ground squirrels nest in burrows beneath the soil surface and forage and mate on the ground or in their burrows. Another big difference between ground-dwelling and tree-dwelling squirrels is that ground squirrels hibernate during the winter and tree squirrels do not. Typical ground squirrels include marmots, woodchucks, and chipmunks. Typical tree squirrels include fox and gray squirrels in North America and red squirrels in Europe.\nOne of the most familiar tree squirrels in North America is the gray squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis. Gray squirrels live in deciduous forests and are also abundant in parks and yards in eastern North America. Their common name is somewhat misleading, in that some gray squirrels have a black pelage. There are even a few populations of albino gray squirrels in North America. Nevertheless, most gray squirrels have gray backs with lightcolored ventral fur and light to white fur on the backs of the ears. Like other tree squirrels, gray squirrels have large, bushy tails almost equal in length to the squirrel's body. Though males are generally larger than females, there is no pronounced sexual dimorphism. Gray squirrels range in size from 330 to 750 grams. Gray squirrels are not particularly social. That is, they do not form cooperative groups. Rather, gray squirrels are solitary. They do not defend territories, and home ranges of individual gray squirrels overlap widely. However, they may defend core areas in the autumn to ensure access to food. Gray squirrels undergo one or two breeding seasons each year, depending on latitude. Squirrels in northern latitudes may only breed once a year, though squirrels in more moderate climates breed up to two times per year. Timing of the breeding season thus also varies with latitude. In the northern United States, gray squirrels begin to breed in early to mid February. Gray squirrels are polygynous; one male may mate with several females during a single breeding season. Males compete with each other for access to females; several males may chase a female until one has an opportunity to mate with her. Some males, rather than participate in mating chases, wait behind trees and find opportunities to mate with females during times other than the mating chase. Mating takes place on the ground or in the trees, and thus can be dangerous to both participants, as there is a real risk of falling during mating. Gestation in gray squirrels lasts approximately forty-four days. Litter sizes range from one to six, with an average of two to three. Gray squirrels are born in a relatively helpless state; they are born hairless and their eyes do not open until about twenty-five days after birth. Gray squirrels nurse for eight to nine weeks, after which time they are weaned. Some litters are at this point abandoned by their mother. Young gray squirrels can fend for themselves at about eighty days of age and begin to build their own leaf nests at about eighteen weeks of age. Sexual maturity is reached at ten months of age. Gray squirrels have an average life span of only eleven to twelve months. However, many individuals live longer than this, even up to ten years in the wild (longer in captivity).\nGray Squirrel Lifestyle\nGray squirrels might best be considered opportunistic omnivores. Commonly known to consume nuts and seeds as well as buds and fruits from hardwood trees, gray squirrels have also been known to consume baby birds, insects, and fungi. Nevertheless, during the autumn and winter, gray squirrels depend almost exclusively on the mast crop from hardwoodtrees as their food source. Beginning in late summer to early autumn, gray squirrels begin to scatterhoard nuts. Scatterhoarding entails burying single nuts in different places around the squirrel's home range and differs from larderhoarding in that gray squirrels do not cache large piles of nuts together in a single location. Memory and an excellent sense of smell allow the squirrels to find buried nuts later in the winter, even when buried under several inches of snow. Gray squirrels can be very selective about which foods to include in their diet. They are known to avoid nuts produced from the red subgenus of oaks, which tend to be high in tannin. When eating acorns from red oaks, squirrels generally consume those parts of the seed that are low in tannin. Unlike ground squirrels, gray squirrels do not hibernate during the winter. Thus, even in the worst weather, they must leave the safety of their nests to obtain food. During the winter months, gray squirrels will den together in tree cavities, presumably to conserve heat. Females usually den with other females (often in mother-daughter groups) and males usually den with other males. Dens are lined with leaves as insulation. Squirrels also use a variety of anthropogenically produced materials in den construction. Foil-coated fastfood wrappers and laundry lint are not uncommon discoveries in squirrel nests. During warmer months, gray squirrels build leaf nests, called dreys, in the upper branches of hardwood trees.\nSuborder: Sciurognathi\nFamily: Sciuridae (squirrels), with forty-nine genera and 267 species\nGeographical location: Worldwide, except Australia, Polynesia, and southern South America\nHabitat: All habitats except deserts\nGestational period: Forty days\nLife span: Ten years in the wild, sixteen years in captivity\nSpecial anatomy: Large bushy tail used for balance and temperature regulation\nThree Toed Woodpecker\nPhoto Gallery of - Squirrel",

        "raw_content": "Tag: Astronomers\nAstronomers Have Found A New Crop Of Moons Around Jupiter, And One Of Them Is A Weirdo\nTen more moons have been confirmed to orbit around Jupiter, bringing the planet\u2019s total known satellite count to 79.\nThat\u2019s the highest number of moons of any planet in the Solar System. And these newly discovered space rocks are giving astronomers insight as to why the Jupiter system looks like it does today.\nAstronomers at Carnegie Institution for Science first found these moons in March 2017, along with two others that were already confirmed in June of last year.\nThe team initially found all 12 moons using the Blanco 4-meter telescope in Chile, though finding these objects wasn\u2019t their main goal.\nInstead, they were searching for incredibly distant small objects \u2014 or even planets \u2014 that might be lurking in our Solar System beyond Pluto.\nBut as they searched for these fringe space rocks, they decided to take a peek at what might be lurking around Jupiter at the same time.\nNow, the moons they found have been observed multiple times, and their exact orbits have been submitted for approval from the International Astronomical Union, which officially recognizes celestial bodies.\nThese moons are all pretty tiny, ranging between less than a mile and nearly two miles wide. And they break down into three different types. Two orbit closer to Jupiter, moving in the same direction that the planet spins.\nFarther out from those, about 15.5 million miles from the planet, there are nine that revolve in the opposite direction, moving against Jupiter\u2019s rotation.\nBut in this same distant region, one strange moon that astronomers are calling Valetudo is moving with Jupiter\u2019s spin, like the two inner moons.\nThat means it\u2019s going in the opposite direction of all the other moons in the same area. \u201cIt\u2019s basically driving down the highway in the wrong direction,\u201d Scott Sheppard, an astronomer at Carnegie who led the discovery team said.\n\u201cThat\u2019s a very unstable situation. Head-on collisions are likely to happen in that situation.\u201d\nValetudo isn\u2019t the only moon of Jupiter that acts this way. Another moon called Carpo also orbits far out from Jupiter, moving in the opposite direction of many other moons in the area.\nThe small dot between the yellow lines in these photographs is the newly discovered moon Valetudo.\nHowever, Valetudo orbits much farther away than Carpo, and it may actually be the smallest moon Jupiter has.\nNow with this discovery, astronomers think it\u2019s good evidence that moon-on-moon collisions have happened in Jupiter\u2019s past, and these are responsible for the lunar landscape around the planet today.\n\u201cValetudo, at just 1 kilometer across, is probably the last remnant of a much larger moon that\u2019s been ground down into dust over time,\u201d says Sheppard.\nFinding moons around Jupiter can be tough. As the biggest planet in our Solar System, it has a very large area of influence, so there\u2019s a lot of space where moons could potentially be.\nIt\u2019s difficult to search that area in a timely manner with a telescope. \u201cIt\u2019s like looking through a straw, and you\u2019re just covering as many points around Jupiter as you can looking for these things,\u201d says Sheppard.\nAnd since Jupiter is so large, it reflects a whole lot of light. That means there can be a lot of glare when searching for super faint moons around the planet.\nMysterious Dark Matter May Not Always Have Been Dark\nThe nature of dark matter is currently one of the greatest mysteries in science. The invisible substance \u2014 which is detectable via its gravitational influence on \u201cnormal\u201d matter \u2014 is thought to make up five-sixths of all matter in the universe.\nAstronomers began suspecting the existence of dark matter when they noticed the cosmos seemed to possess more mass than stars could account for.\nFor example, stars circle the center of the Milky Way so fast that they should overcome the gravitational pull of the galaxy\u2019s core and zoom into the intergalactic void.\nMost scientists think dark matter provides the gravity that helps hold these stars back.\nScientists have mostly ruled out all known ordinary materials as candidates for dark matter. The consensus so far is that this missing mass is made up of new species of particles that interact only very weakly with ordinary matter.\nOne potential clue about the nature of dark matte rhas to do with the fact that it\u2019s five times more abundant than normal matter, researchers said.\n\u201cThis may seem a lot, and it is, but if dark and ordinary matter were generated in a completely independent way, then this number is puzzling,\u201d said study co-author Pavlos Vranas, a particle physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, California.\n\u201cInstead of five, it could have been a million or a billion. Why five?\u201d\nThe researchers suggest a possible solution to this puzzle: Dark matter particles once interacted often with normal matter, even though they barely do so now.\nThe protons and neutrons making up atomic nuclei are themselves each made up of a trio of particles known as quarks.\nThe researchers suggest dark matter is also made of a composite \u201cstealth\u201d particle, which is composed of a quartet of component particles and is difficult to detect.\nThe scientists\u2019 supercomputer simulations suggest these composite particles may have masses ranging up to more than 200 billion electron-volts, which is about 213 times a proton\u2019s mass.\nQuarks each possess fractional electrical charges of positive or negative one-third or two-thirds. In protons, these add up to a positive charge, while in neutrons, the result is a neutral charge.\nQuarks are confined within protons and neutrons by the so-called \u201cstrong interaction.\u201d\nThe researchers suggest that the component particles making up stealth dark matter particles each have a fractional charge of positive or negative one-half, held together by a \u201cdark form\u201d of the strong interaction.\nStealth dark matter particles themselves would only have a neutral charge, leading them to interact very weakly at best with ordinary matter, light, electric fields and magnetic fields.\nThe researchers suggest that at the extremely high temperatures seen in the newborn universe, the electrically charged components of stealth dark matter particles could have interacted with ordinary matter.\nHowever, once the universe cooled, a new, powerful and as yet unknown force might have bound these component particles together tightly to form electrically neutral composites.\nStealth dark matter particles should be stable \u2014 not decaying over eons, if at all, much like protons.\nHowever, the researchers suggest the components making up stealth dark matter particles can form different unstable composites that decay shortly after their creation.\nThese unstable particles might have masses of about 100 billion electron-volts or more, and could be created by particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beneath the France-Switzerland border. They could also have an electric charge and be visible to particle detectors, Vranas said.\nExperiments at the LHC, or sensors designed to spot rare instances of dark matter colliding with ordinary matter, \u201cmay soon find evidence of, or rule out, this new stealth dark matter theory,\u201d Vranas said in a statement.\nIf stealth dark matter exists, future research can investigate whether there are any effects it might have on the cosmos.\nThe scientists, the Lattice Strong Dynamics Collaboration, will detail their findings in an upcoming issue of the journal Physical Review Letters.",

Nice to tie some physics into a classic series!\netracey99 posted a blog entry in Home is Where Your Displacement is Zero\nMany of us know the Aurora Borealis as the 'Northern Lights'. This natural phenomenon is, of course, thanks to the physics of our Earth and its atmosphere! (Photo credit: NASA) The Aurora Borealis is an extremely beautiful event that occurs most often close to the magnetic poles of Earth. It occurs due to charged particles coming from the Sun of which collide with other molecules found in the Earth's atmosphere. Solar winds from the Sun carry these charged particles and when the wind passes by Earth, particles may be trapped in the atmosphere from the Earth's magnetic fields! The charged particles ionize molecules in the atmosphere, which give off light. This creates the Aurora Borealis! I had previously thought that the Northern Lights were from light reflecting somehow, but it awesome to see that it is caused by magnetism, which fits into our past few units very nicely.\nPartners in Crime (I Mean Physics)\nHegelBot153 commented on MyloXyloto's blog entry in Dat Music Kid's Blog\nUkulele Physics!\nMyloXyloto posted a blog entry in Dat Music Kid's Blog\nI think I've done enough violin blogs, so how about my other instrument? That's right, ukulele. And yes, I actually play it, I don't carry it around like an accessory and pretend like I know how to play. Like the violin, the ukulele is a string instrument, so the sound comes from vibrating strings. Unlike a guitar or violin, the strings of a ukulele are made of nylon, which gives it that distinct ukulele sound. Both the length and the tension of the string determine what note it plays. When tuning, if the string is flat, you tighten it to tune it. This increases the tension and frequency. If it's sharp, loosen the string. How loud the ukulele is depends on how hard you strum. The harder you strum, the higher the amplitude of the vibrating strings, resulting in higher volume. The noise also comes from the sound of the vibrating strings echoing in the hollow chamber in the body of the ukulele. If there were no chamber, the ukulele would not produce much sound. Enjoy this picture of my ukulele with my violins on top of a piano. I'm bad at piano by the way.\nPhysics Followed Me to London!\nIt is the study of everything...\nA Review and Conclusion\nkrdavis18 posted a blog entry in The Physics Behind Life\nThis year, I really pushed myself with new challenges that were difficult, but also very rewarding. I took on the challenge of a flipped classroom and learned a new way to be a student that will help prepare me for college. While at times it was a struggle to keep up, this course kept helped me prepare for college by forcing me to work on my time management skills. I think that I have a lot more of improvement to do on this, but I have come a long way from the beginning of the year. I think before I go to college, it might be a good idea to review Dr. Chew's videos and brush up on some of the proper learning techniques that he taught. Another new thing that I took on this year was completing blog posts for this class. This activity taught me a lot of new things about how what we are learning in physics applies to the real world and I really appreciate all that I have learned. Going forward, I will have to apply the math and physics of the classroom to the real world, and doing the blog posts gave me a little bit of insight into the connections between the two. Although it may have been a challenge at times to complete the necessary blog post on time, I enjoyed learning new things about the world around me.\nMechanics vs. Electricity and Magnetism\nAt this point, we have finished mechanics, and we are starting to finish up electricity and magnetism. Each of these courses had it's own set of challenges. However, with mechanics, even when I didn't fully understand something, I could still sort of visualize it and try to make sense out of it. Mechanics definitely felt more straight forward and understandable than electricity and magnetism, except dealing with drag forces is still very difficult. With electricity and magnetism, my main struggle has been not being able to just see how everything works. Things don't really click with me like they often did in mechanics. This is why I would say I've had more trouble with this course than mechanics. I can't see things the same way. When it comes time to review for both exams, I'll have to keep this in mind, and maybe dedicate a little more time to electricity and magnetism just to make sure I understand what I need to in order to be successful.\nThis Year in Review\nAaronSwims posted a blog entry in Aaron's Coverage\nThis year has been a wild ride, and the AP weeks are approaching fast. With the third quarter ending, and soon most AP classes to have not much work to do, I need to take the time to look back on this year. Physics was a struggle, but that made it a lot of fun. I have learned a lot, and have learned new was of how to learn based on the style and difficulty of a class. It was a great choice to make and it has really helped me to learn what is in store for the future at college. Calc didn't catch up to physics until it was toward the end of the second quarter, which made the math fun, but that was a good learning opportunity as well. As the year slowly comes to an end I am happy but sad as this year has been rough, but I couldn't have asked for a better year to end on.\nThe Pokeball Explained with Quantum Entanglement\nPokemon is weird and so, even the simplist things in the games must also be complicated. The pokeball is how you capture and transport pokemon. However, it cannot simply store a pokemons mass as it would cause serious problems outside of weight. For example, the pokeball seems to be about 9.52 cm in diamter giving it a volume (3/4(3.14)(4.76^3)) of 452.11 cm^3 so that the most massive pokemon, Groudon with a mass of 950kg would result in a mass density of 2101 kg/m^3 which is denser than the sun. That's a problem if I've ever heard of one. So this is how I came to Quantum Entanglement, after reading an article that gave a very simple explanation to it on reddit. So when two particles interact in the exact perfect way, they become entangled. This means that whatever happens to one happens to the other, and weirdest part is that the distance between the two particles doesn't matter. Research has been able to do this with particles as large as a grain of sand at a distance of up to 10 miles apart. So, pokeball's are then just quantum computers which turn a pokemon into data somewhere in the universe on how to reconstruct a pokemon. The worst part of this comes with the no-cloning theorem, so that in order for the copy to be made, the original must be destroyed. So every time a pokemon enters a pokeball, the original would be destroyed. If the pokemon breaks free, it is not the original that was encountered, and were it to be caught, when it came time to battle, it wouldn't be the same as when it were caught. This makes the whole pokemon world a lot more grusome.\nWeird Aspects of the Pokedex\nThe pokemon games are full of weird situations and ideas, especially those relating to the all knowing pokedex. This post will highlight how weird the game is about first generation pokemon, Ponyta. One pokedex entry states that it can clear ayers rock in one leap. This rock in central Austrailia, standing at 348 meters tall and its average width across is about 1500 meters. This then becomes a projectile motion problem. The pokedex also states that its evolution can run at 67 m/s and so this is Ponyta's intial horizontal velocity. Ignoring air resistance, ponyta will keep this horizontal velocity through out its jump. To calculate the air time (x/v = t) giving that it takes ponyta 22.4s to clear the rock and 11.2s to reach maximum height. Then solving for the initial vertical velocity give 137 m/s and thus by Pythagorean theorem, p963onyta launches itself at an angle of 64 degree with a velocity of 153 m/s. Then, how high does Ponyta jump? Solving -V^2/2a for height gives 963 meters. That's taller than the worlds tallest building. This universe is just weird.\nVortexes and Mushroom Clouds\nWhile doing some exploring on the internet, I stumbled across this video that does a pretty decent job of explaining a crazy pool vortex that forms when you push a plate through pool water. The woman in the video lists some examples of vortexes which include water going down a drain, hurricanes, tornadoes, and air going over a plane. In the example with the plate, the difference in velocity between the water moving with the plate and the stationary water next to it causes a shear force and makes the water spin. The vortexes keep spinning because of angular momentum and minor friction. She also examines what happens when a vortex line is curved or a complete circle like in a smoke ring, bubble ring, or even the plume rising up from an explosion. This seemed interesting to me so I decided to explore more behind what creates a plume after an explosion. The plume formed after an explosion, often called a mushroom cloud, is best known for occurring after nuclear explosions. Below is a picture from WWII of the atomic bomb explosion over Nagasaki, Japan. Some simple physics can explain the phenomenon behind the forming of this cloud. When the explosion occurs, the hot burning gases which are less dense than the surrounding air, rises up fast, creating a vacuum affect that pulls cool air up into the cloud. This is called the Raleigh-Taylor instability which occurs when two different substances of different densities interact. I've included an additional video that better explains this stunning affect. Enjoy!\nThe Physics in Album Covers\nThePeculiarParticle posted a blog entry in Captain's Log\nPhysics is all around us, and sometimes it is so visually awesome that it can make for great album covers. Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon One of the highest selling albums of all time, and having one of the most identifiable covers of all time, Pink Floyd should rightfully start up this list. The phenomenon shown is called dispersion of light. This occurs when white light hits an optically permeable surface. In this case, white light is hitting a prism. As white light passes through the prism, all the different components of white light separate by wavelength. This occurs due to each wavelength having a different angle of deviation. Shorter wavelengths, such as violet, have greater angles of refraction than longer wavelength colors, such as red. The result is a splay of colors each aligned in a rainbow to their corresponding wavelengths. Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures Another cover which can be easily recognized, or at least will be noticed, is Joy Division\u2019s debut album. What you are actually seeing is a visualization of radio waves from a pulsar, in fact the first pulsar ever discovered. A radio pulsar is a neutron star which is spinning at incredibly high speeds. So this star, with a density ten trillion times denser than lead, is also generating a strong magnetic field from moving electrons. Due to this spin, electrical charges, and magnetic field, a radio signal was received at 1.337 second intervals. The picture above depicts eighty successive periods stacked on top of one another, and was taken straight from The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Astronomy published in 1977. Despite being in earlier publications, the true creator of the design is not know, but if one thing is for sure, the image can still be found everywhere and this usage in 1979 was only the beginning of its use in pop culture. The Strokes: Is This It The cover to The Strokes Is This It was chosen for release of the 2001 album due to its beautiful psychedelic appearance. But what is it? Well, it is a picture taken from inside a bubble chamber. A bubble chamber is used to study electrically charged particles. How it works is that large bubble chambers are filled with incredibly hot liquid hydrogen. As the particles enter the chamber, a piston opens decreasing the pressure in the chamber. Charge particles created an ionized track which vaporizes the hydrogen creating visible bubble trails. Since the hydrogen is transparent, pictures can be taken in all three dimensions, mapping out the movements of the particles. So why is a different bubble chamber photo my profile picture? Well it has nothing to do with The Strokes. It's just a beautiful image, and that's what made most of these artists choose their own covers. Nature is beautiful in many ways, and being able to explain it with physics makes it just that much more enjoyable. As always thanks for reading! - ThePeculiarParticle\nNo doubt the course has gotten much harder in the transition to electricity and magnetism. The result is that I've needed to adapt a new approach to the course. I have tried watching videos then filling in my notes with information from the book and vice versa. For me watching the videos first worked much better. So, if anyone finds this blog, I'll certainly recommend that. But one of the most important things I can do is look back at the course and experience as a whole, despite having induction left, and say I wouldn't have it any other way. It's like climbing a mountain and, while it seems like a heavy task at first, the top is now in sight, with a bit of work left. The most exciting part of this year, besides writing these blogs, had to be finally finding where all these formulas came from, such as how work and forces are so interconnected now that we understand integrals and derivatives. The good news is that it only builds on from here. Well, my group agreed we would do a blog post sharing our future endeavors, and I'm happy to say that I will be attending the University of Rochester to pursue Optical Engineering. It specifically interests me in the area of integrating electrical and digital circuits but, since optics is such a wide field, that can only be compared to dipping my toe in the deep end of an Olympic sized swimming pool. This course has probably prepared me the most, compared to any other course, for what to expect in college, and for that I'm immensely grateful. Thank you FizziksGuy. The road isn't over yet but this year has been a large stepping off point into the next and I can't thank you enough for the help. This is kinda sad, being one of the last assigned blog posts I do, but it is not the end. There will be one more after this, which I am really excited for, and I will post a couple in fourth quarter. I legitimately love writing these and need to thank all of my readers and those who gave support, and even criticism, as this was one of the most fun projects I have had this year. As always thanks for reading! - ThePeculiarParticle\n(BEST SHOW)GAME OF THRONES!!!!!(SO COOL)\nTheNightKing posted a blog entry in CLICKBAIT TITLE\nAs an avid fan of this show, it's really interesting to think about the physics that the creators had to make in order for this fictional realm to seem realistic. In fact, perhaps one of the most well known scientists, Neil deGrasse Tyson, has commented on both the good and the bad physics of the tv show. First of course, are the dragons' flight capabilities. \u201cThe dragon wingspans are sensibly large, as their body weight would require for flight,\u201d he wrote. Also, note the fact that they don't have arms, as they have their wings as a replacement. Now lets talk about how they get off the ground. Based off some general consensus from aeronautical engineers, one dragon weighs about 2600 kg. Therefore, its weight is 26,000 Newtons. Each wing's area approximates out to roughly 32m2. Assuming the dragon takes off at its stalling speed, like airplanes do, that estimates to be 4.3 m/s, as its body length of 13 meters passes by in 3 seconds. Another thing is their flame spitting breath. Tyson comments that the blue fire breath would be at least 3 times hotter than the red fire breath, which is super cool and makes sense. Blue light requires more thermal energy to emit and therefore has a higher temperature. Its totally cool if you don't understand the context of this blog if you don't watch Game of Thrones, but dragons are cool too. Thanks for tuning in!\n(NETFLIX)STRANGER THINGS THEORY!!!(SEE NOW)\nThe popular mystery/horror TV show features a regular group of kids with a big discovery: parallel universes. More specifically it features the String Theory. This states that there are extra dimensions curled up into little balls. The teacher in the show does a good analogy to understand it: Picture our dimension as a tightrope, and we are an acrobat on this rope. The acrobat walking along the tightrope is huge compared to the thickness of the skinny rope! So, we see the rope as a one-dimensional line; we can only move back and forth along this surface. We never walk around the circular direction of the rope, because we'd fall off and we're too big for it. However, a flea walking on that same rope could not only walk back and forth, but also around the rope. The flea could also crawl down the side of the rope, and even underneath it. This suggests that tiny, minuscule particles would be able to travel in other dimensions! The more you know! Thanks for tuning in folks! Edit: I hadn't realized that Kara posted about the exact same thing until after I posted this, oops",

The absence of high rise buildings in the near surroundings and direct connection to the main traffic route of Farrer Road make this a prestigious and highly visible site across the whole city.\nHadid\u2019s proposal for the Farrer Court site is generated by the study of the existing alignments and the main axis surrounding the site, which are incorporated and connected to generate a series of construction lines highly connected to the neighbourhood. The ground landscape level is visualized as a green layer, emphasizing the presence of florid vegetation in Singapore\u2019s climate. The site levels are re-organized into a series of terraced plateaus to maximise the area dedicated to communal site amenities. The orientation and placement of the buildings is optimized in relation to the local environment as well as to maximize views out towards the surrounding city and landscape.\nZaha Hadid commented:\u201dWe have been working in Singapore for almost a decade and the Farrer Road development is a continuation of our detailed research into the urban fabric of the city. The seven tower development on one of Singapore\u2019s most prominent sites represents further exploration into the tower typology and our studies into organisational systems and growth in the natural world. The towers are subdivided into petals according to the layout of each level to form a series of diverse and distinctive towers.\u201d\nEach of the 7 towers reach 150 m, growing from sunken private gardens within the site landscape. The lower floors kink to highlight the point where buildings meet the ground, reducing the footprint and enabling a greater open area at the base. This creates highly private gardens which are quite unique given the scale and density of the development. The towers are subdivided into petals according to the number of residential units per floor. The petals are expressed in three dimensions thanks to vertical cuts which give definition to the buildings' fa\u00e7ades and, at the same time, allow for cross ventilation of most of the flats.\nThe buildings culminate at the top with a series of fingers stepped at different heights, which blend the transition between the architectural fabric and the sky. Through rotating the buildings across the site, and the careful use of balconies and fa\u00e7ade panelling, a combination of self similar towers produce a diverse array across the development. Views to Bukit Timah Hill, Singapore Botanic Gardens, MacRitchie Reservoir and the Orchard Road city skyline are also optimised.\nThe \u00a31.1 billion project is a CapitaLand-led consortium development; other partners include Hotel Properties Limited, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Special Situations Fund III, L.P. and Wachovia Development Corporation. It will be the largest residential development in Singapore\u2019s history.",

Credit: Wikimedia Commons.\n(JNS.org) While the government of Brazil continues to refuse the appointment of Israeli-nominated ambassador Dani Dayan over his former leadership of the settlement movement in Judea and Samaria, the Palestinian Authority (PA) on Feb. 3 inaugurated an embassy and diplomatic mission in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia, despite the fact that the PA is not an officially recognized country.\nThe new embassy is the PA\u2019s first diplomatic mission in the Western Hemisphere. The inauguration was led by the PA's envoy to Brazil, Ibrahim Alzeben, and was attended by Brazilian government officials, representatives of Arab countries, and members of the local Arab community, reported Israel\u2019s i24news.\n\u201cThis is the conclusion of a dream of mine that was also a dream of colleagues that came before me in this mission in the last four decades. I hope that this is the beginning of a new phase in relations between Brazil and Palestine, that they can be closer and more diversified. And I hope that Brazil builds its embassy in Palestine, in Jerusalem,\" Alzeben said.\nAn anonymous military source told Brazil\u2019s Veja magazine last year\u2014before the official inauguration of the Palestinian embassy\u2014that the embassy building\u2019s location is too close to major Brazilian government buildings, such as the Congress and Supreme Court, and that the Palestinian diplomats and their vehicles \"cannot be checked.\"\n\u201cThe embassy is a sovereign Hamas area now,\u201d said the source. \"The site is strategic. Terrorists could access the whole governmental structure in half an hour.\"",

        "raw_content": "LE, TTE,R FROM ROME, SEPTEMBER 1 7 R ME is in an unusual state com- pared to Itself over the recent strugghng postwar years and compared to other capital citIes and their countries right now. Here there is no worrying echo of a recession, as in the United States (in fact, Italy's present prosperity has the fresh sound of a small boom); no race riots, as in London; nu drain- ing Algerian war or ter- ro rists, as in Fran ce (I tal y , luckily enough, long ago 105t her dark-skinned colonies and its mirages of empjre) ; and no educational impasse, as in Lit- tle Rock (since simple illiter- acv has been Italy's only school problem, and now, with a school-expansIon pro- gram, she is about to welcome a lot of new young scholars). And, above all, there is none of the dreadful uncertaInty that exists in Paris, which is wondering whether the monumental de Gaulle can mark France's passage into its next, and fifth, republic-or, indeed, whether there will be another republic at all. Romans say that during the week pre- ceding their latest national election, on May 25th and 26th, the alarming news of the French Army's j\\.lgiers insurrec- tion and the consequent tension in French affairs was given the top space in the Italian press, while their own election-campaign news took second place. They say that the calling in of General de Gaulle frightened the Ital- ian voters, remembering dictatorship under a very different man, and that the accompanying collapse of France's multiple-party system further alarmed them, since Italy has a similar plague of too many fractious minorities. In any case, they voted for the fringe parties far less than was expected, thus giving Italy its present more democratic political clarification-at least one good result of France's recent disasters In the new government's Parlia- ment, which opened yesterday after a summer recess, the three most d\u00e9mod\u00e9 little parties\" which, logically, took the sharpest losses in the May electIon, are on what is now called the unrespecta- ble far Right-the Movimento Sociale Italiano, or neo-Fascists, \"who live on Mussolini's grave,\" as the phrase goes, and the two split monarchist parties that still aim at bringing back to the throne the exiled royal House of Savoy. In pro-royalIst Naples, one of the monarchist parties was led in May by the autocratic millionaire shipowner Achille Lauro, who strengthened his local campaign speeches by employing an out-of-work actor, dressIng him in royal red, and having him periodically shout in the streets \"Viva il Rel\"-who today lives in Portugal. A more sig- nIficant smallish party, representIng the so-called respectable Right, is the Liber- al Party, a relatively recent revival of the old 1870 Partito Liberale of the Risorgimento, which first fought in Italy for sepa- ration of church and state. One faction of the present party is strictl} anticlerical, b . 11 d \" \" eIng ca e mangzapretz, \" . \" or pnest-eaters -an ever- increasing political sentiment among many upper-bourgeois Catho- lics, especially in Rome, impatient with the Vatican's age-long controls. Above all, these Liberals, who are economical- ly conservative, believe in free enter- prise, as against statalismo. This refers to a peculiarly Italian phenomenon that was started by the government after the FIrst World War to salvage some in- dustrial bankruptcies, was continued under Mussolini, and was developed to such an astonishing degree by the Chris- tian Democrat Alcide de Gasperi that today a thIrd, or maybe a half-nobody seems to know the exact figure-of Italy's largest industries and monopolies are owned and administered by the Ital- ian state. Not surprisingly, the Liberals were backed in the May campaign, re- portedly to the extent of five or six million dollars, by the Confindustria- Italy's richest private industrialists' con- federation, or lobby, similar to our Na- tional j\\.ssociation of Manufacturers, which hoped to seat forty Liberal depu- ties, felt sure of seating twenty-five, seated exactly sixteen, and has con- sequently felt robbed. Of the split Socialist partIes, unfortu- nately, the troublesome Pietro Nenni's pro-Communist Socialists won heavil} over Giuseppe Saragat's anti-Commu- nist Social Democrats. As for the Com- munists themselves, they lost three of their former seats (perhaps owing to the loosening grip of their leader, Palmiro T ogliatti, reported to be ill), but with a hundred and forty deputies they are still in control of twenty-three per cent of Parliament, and are still Italy's next-to- bIggest party. A hundred and fifty-five seats went to a m\u00e9lange of the six re- maining major parties, thus leaving the Christian Democrats as the highly in- secure winners, their slim portion being two hundred and seventy-three depu- I iDYl' /\u00ed 1 /1'/; 83 Headquarters stores for I , NEW WORLD OF IDEAS home decorative fabrics Merchandise on opposite page not in all stores, but representative collections are available Albany, N.

        "raw_content": "Advice, Conferences + associations, Features, Job Searching, New Professionals\nWhat I've learned since I graduated.\nWritten by allanaaa on April 20th, 2015 December 20th, 2018 . 1 Comment\nAs of this writing, it\u2019s been just about six months since my degree was awarded. I handed in my last coursework at the end of August 2014, and did some nail-biting while my thesis was graded. But I didn\u2019t actually see my physical degree, framed and signed and in all its majesty, until last week, when I went home for Easter! It was surprisingly affecting \u2014 I didn\u2019t think seeing my name all gussied up like that was going to be such a gut-punch of emotion, but I am really proud of that big piece of paper.\nso, I hadn't actually seen this before just now. turns out it's actually pretty cool. pic.twitter.com/ROPJOhaoiN\n\u2014 Allana Mayer (@allanaaaaaaa) April 3, 2015\nBetween seeing that and reading this, I thought I\u2019d try my hand at articulating a bit of perspective. It\u2019s hard for me to write a \u201cwhat I\u2019ve learned\u201d article without hedging my bets a bit \u2014 there are things I\u2019ve started to dig into deeper, but I wouldn\u2019t say I\u2019m an expert or that my knowledge has yet paid off in practical terms. I started a full-time job as a corporate archivist the week after handing in my thesis, so a lot of what I can recommend isn\u2019t directly applicable to arts librarianship or even the majority of MLIS/MISt graduates who might be reading this. But, I\u2019m going to tell you what I do anyways, and it starts with how I \u2026\n1. Criticize myself.\nThere is no time for a break, no time to kick back and separate yourself from the field once you hand in your last assignments. Chances are you\u2019ve got a job offer lined up, unfinished research projects, a handful of applications to send out, a move, some volunteer commitments or conferences, or some other thing that should be occupying your time.\nBut you should prioritize a few hours (ideally with wine) to assess your situation, yourself, and your goals: what gaps are left in your education that will stand between you and your dream jobs? What experience do you lack based on the job postings you\u2019re seeing? What\u2019s the most likely progression going to be for you, from entry-level onwards? How can you prepare for each of those steps?\nOne of the best little tricks is to go back and read the term papers and assignment you handed in in your first semester. Does it make you cringe now to see how naive you were? Alternatively, aren\u2019t you impressed with how far you\u2019ve come in such a short time?\nI never would\u2019ve guessed I\u2019d end up in corporate, but here we are, and I\u2019m trying to look critically at which of the soft skills I\u2019m picking up here (project management, training, research and policy-writing, etc.) are transferable and provable, and which ones I still need to acquire, so that I can start out at higher than entry-level when I get back into art and media work. But I have to acknowledge that some of my discipline-specific skills are getting rusty, so I \u2026\n2. Keep abreast.\nAre you happy with all the listservs and newsfeeds you belong to? Could you stand to add more, or lose a few of the less-relevant options?\nPersonally, my feed for information on the profession comes from a couple of Canadian archiving lists, ARLIS, AMIA, SHARP, MCN, and the ALCTS eForum I mentioned previously. I\u2019ve pared down a bit, and there are a few lists I\u2019d like to be on for which I can\u2019t afford a membership.\nAMIA, for example, is a fantastic way just to keep in mind all the weird format issues and preservation challenges that multimedia workers face every day \u2014 there are always emails about finding a specific fitting for a rare tape player, or how best to clean a certain type of film with flourescent dye on it. If you\u2019re bad at mechanical terminology, I guarantee you\u2019ll pick it up quickly.\nI use the Art News mailing that comes via CARLIS-L to remind me to check websites like Artforum and Canadian Art. Otherwise I tend to forget.\nI don\u2019t read any librarianship-specific websites regularly (other than job boards, for ArLiSNAP), but because of Twitter I\u2019m constantly seeing blog posts from people like Barbara Fister on Inside Higher Ed, updates to journals, etc. If you want art-specific Twitter accounts to follow, check out the institutions and individuals that the ArLiSNAP account follows. (I follow a more eclectic collection, but hey, here are a couple suggestions.)\nI can\u2019t afford individual journal subscriptions, and I don\u2019t have institutional access to that stuff, but I do read up on accessible (OA, PD) things when they go by in my feed. I only splurge on one physical publication, and that\u2019s Cabinet Magazine, which doesn\u2019t keep me up-to-date so much as inspire me regularly on all fronts.\nOn WordPress I follow things like Archives Gig, SNAP RT, most of the ARLIS SIGs\u2019 and Sections\u2019 blogs, and a few oddballs like Artist-Driven Archives and Failure in the Archives. I\u2019m sure someone will tell me that I should consolidate or aggregate a bit better, but, nah.\nI\u2019ve also got a special label in Gmail just for Calls For Proposals from the various listservs: I\u2019m not going to apply for many this year, and most of them aren\u2019t applicable to what I do, but I like being able to see what kinds of research and projects are being asked for, when the various deadlines come up, and which journals and conferences I might just want to consume without contributing to. But, occasionally, I do apply for stuff, because it\u2019s always important to \u2026\nOn top of the full-time job, I\u2019ve got a few guest posts and articles queued up for publishing, two regular volunteer commitments (ArLiSNAP, and a journal I help copyedit) and some irregular ones (peer-reviewing for two journals), an ongoing data-mining project with a non-profit here in Toronto (no funding, just fun!), writing for ArLiSNAP and my own blog, and maintaining a Twitter presence of questionable quality.\nI\u2019ve done two conferences so far this year, and have two more to come (both speaking engagements, one of which is reporting on a yearly survey I run using Google Forms). This weekend I decided to start a project to improve listings of library and archives associations in Canada (probably with the goal of making Wikipedia pages for each). I have at least four copyright-related tumblrs I\u2019d like to start. Now that I\u2019m thinking of it, I volunteered to copyedit a new book by CARLIS, which I should be hearing about any day now \u2026.\nI think of all this as essential to keeping myself engaged with the fields I want to be in. As opposed to grad school, where my time was occupied in shallow exploration of a lot of subjects of varying interest to me, now I get to dig deep into the things I\u2019m passionate about, and construct a broader career arc that includes artists\u2019 practices and intents, copyrights and moral rights for creators, the history of print, preservation and access of both art and art-related documentation, and new techniques for analyzing art. Without calling it \u201cpersonal branding,\u201d I will say it was a lot easier to define some long-term research goals once I distanced myself from the generalist approach of my classes. Which leads me to \u2026\n4. Forget about everything I did in school.\nNo offense to my alma mater, but I didn\u2019t leave school with a huge network of trusted peers and great professors (or respect for government funding for higher-ed, or ALA accreditation, or \u2026). There was little critical education in the classes I took, which is understandable given the breadth of what has to be taught, but it meant I didn\u2019t find people who thought and argued like I do. Being thrown into a room with people doesn\u2019t guarantee you\u2019ll find things to talk about \u2014 and the #1 thing I\u2019ve learned since graduating is that there is a huge variance of why people got into this profession, and what it is they want to accomplish within it.\nI moved away from Montreal when graduation was in sight, so I may have shot myself in the foot a little there (also I\u2019m not on Facebook and am only a recent convert to Twitter), but I\u2019ve managed to network so much better back in Toronto, without many ties to the people I spent a year and a half interacting with. A lot of it is online, through associations and listservs and volunteer work with eventual face-to-face meetings at conferences \u2014 and a lot of it is engaging people on social media once I\u2019ve come to know and respect their work.\nI think the best part of my MLIS was the four jobs I did during that time \u2014 one RA position, one job in the library, one internship for a design company, one summer contract with a non-profit \u2014 because it gave me at least some experience in a diversity of settings. While I am invested in the academic use of the degree, I wasn\u2019t going to get a job without being able to articulate some proven skills and accomplishments. So, yeah, I recycled some term papers as applications for student awards, sure, but I don\u2019t think my classwork and student chapter attendance are worth much now \u2014 and I\u2019m sure they\u2019re not all you have to offer the world, either. Which is why it\u2019s good to \u2026.\n5.

        "raw_content": "FOCUS: ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY NEWS | CENTRAL: GARDEN\nSanchez Urges Women to Get Cancer Checks\nJune 30, 1998|DEBRA CANO\nRep. Loretta Sanchez--with her mother at her side--urged a group of senior women Monday to be breast cancer activists and take control of their lives and health.\n\"We need to argue with our doctors and HMOs when they say that we don't need a yearly mammogram,\" Sanchez said.\nThe Garden Grove Democrat was the featured speaker at a presentation to promote breast cancer self-examination, screening and early detection. About 40 women attended the program at the H. Louis Lake Senior Center, presented by the Orange County Breast Cancer Partnership and other advocates.\n\"As we get older, the risk of developing breast cancer increases,\" said Pat Swan, Orange County Breast Cancer Partnership senior task force coordinator and vice chairwoman.\nWomen of all ages are at risk of developing breast cancer, but nearly 80% of the disease occurs in those older than 50. In 1996, the year for which the latest statistics are available, 345 Orange County women died of the disease, and of those, 279 were older than 50.\nOlder women especially fail to get annual mammograms, often because they can't afford them, Swan said.\nBut Swan stressed that Medicare now pays for yearly mammograms for women older than 65. Through the state's Breast Cancer Early Detection Program, and local programs in Orange County, free mammograms and breast cancer screenings are available for women who are underinsured or uninsured.\nSwan said there is a critical need for state money to pay for more services and treatment.\nSanchez spoke about the importance of early cancer detection. Her mother-in-law died of ovarian cancer at 57. Sanchez's mother, Maria Macias, 60, also had a scare when she discovered a lump on her breast, which later turned out to be noncancerous.\n\"Although my mother-in-law had ovarian cancer, she has the same story that many women with breast cancer today have--they found it too late,\" Sanchez said.\nTreatment may protect young women with breast cancer from...\nMore women with breast cancer opt to remove healthy one...\nYoung Women With Breast Cancer Grapple With Extra Dose of...",

        "raw_content": "A second mortgage is a loan that is secured by the equity in your home. When you obtain a second mortgage loan the lender will place a lien on your house. This lien will be recorded in 2nd position after your primary or 1st mortgage lender's lien, hence the term second mortgage.\nA second mortgage is also sometimes referred to as a home equity loan. There is no difference between a home equity loan and a second mortgage. These are just two different terms for the same subject.\nA second mortgage can either be a fixed-rate loan or an adjustable-rate credit line. Interest rates and loan program terms will vary from lender to lender so it is important to shop around and compare before committing to any one offer.\nLoan proceeds from a second mortgage loan can be used for just about anything. Many consumers take out 2nd mortgage loans to consolidate debt, do home improvements or pay for their kids college education. Whatever you decide to do with your loan proceeds it is important to remember that if you default on your payment you can lose your home so you will want to make sure that you are taking the loan out for a worthwhile purpose.\nAnother plus of a second mortgage loan is that the interest you pay back on the loan may be tax deductible. Consult your tax advisor regarding your personal situation but in most cases the interest is 100% fully deductible as long as the combined loan to value of your 1st and 2nd mortgage do not exceed the value of your home.\nFor more information on second mortgage loans, or to compare rates and programs of second mortgage loan lenders visit http://www.equityloansource.com\nLevetta Rivera is a successful mortgage broker and publisher of the following financial websites: http://www.equityloansource.com and http://www.militaryvaloan.com",

        "raw_content": "Why do you consider yourself a pagan?\nPosted by LeaT on June 14, 2009 at 6:44pm in Atheist Pagans\nBack to Atheist Pagans Discussions\nThe may be similar to the thread about what paganism is, but I suppose there is a slight semantic difference.\nLike many here, I think a reverance for nature may be a common factor, but generally, I just imagined the world that did not fit into an agnostic nor an atheist worldview. I believe things to be more connected than that, and it's very hard to describe without using such worn out words as energy or force. I have simply chosen to view our universe and how it maintains itself as an energy flow, it goes round and round. I should add, I am a follower of the Big Bounce, so I suppose the idea of something being cyclical is quite important to me.\nFor a long time I could not fully describe what I meant with energy or force either, until I dug up a bit about Einstein's relativity theory that equals mass to energy. The problem is that when I say, see a flower, I just don't see the flower as a physical object, I also see it as a part of a greater whole where the flower at some point will die, decompose and be meaningful to other lifeforms.\nIt can however be more properly and throughly explained once Einstein's theory is applied I think, and in a way it is pantheistic/taoistic, which is why I always found it so hard to settle with what to call myself. When I mean pantheistic also, I don't mean it with its original connotations of there being a sentient being, but more something to Spinoza's god, something Einstein also believed in and I think that just makes so much sense.\nPermalink Reply by LeaT on June 20, 2009 at 4:58pm\nSo you celebrate them as well? Are there any pagan holidays in American culture at all btw? Here in Sweden we just celebrated midsummer's eve :)\nPermalink Reply by Malena on June 23, 2009 at 10:20am\nBecause I love nature cycles and complexity. And I need to enjoy them in a significant way.\nAs an evolution theories student, I\u00b4m see the world and all its complexity and I find it to be more amazing that any mythical story ever told. I\u00b4m see the things throught system stheory and determinist chaos theory, and its not difficult at all, I mean, its the way I have been seeing the world since I was a child. Everything related to everything, and everything belonging, being part of something bigger.\nI think that what used to upset me more, being raised in a catholic community, was the anthropocentric look of the world. I have never been like that, I don\u00b4t know why, but I have always thought that all life is wonderful and unique. I felt as a child, that saying that we are superior beings was to insult every other life form.

        "raw_content": "By timothy from Slashdot's sea-change-or-see-no-change department:\nBrianFagioli writes When Microsoft Open Technologies was founded as a subsidiary of Microsoft \u2014 under Steve Ballmer's reign \u2014 many in the open source community hailed it as a major win, and it was. Today, however, the subsidiary is shutting down and being folded into Microsoft. While some will view this as a loss for open source, I disagree; Microsoft has evolved so much under Satya Nadella, that a separate subsidiary is simply no longer needed. Microsoft could easily be the world's biggest vendor of open source software, which is probably one reason some people don't like the term.\nWhen You're the NFL Commish, Getting E-Medical Record Interoperability's a Cinch\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's it's-good-to-be-the-commish department:\nLucas123 writes: The NFL recently completed the rollout of an electronic medical record (EMR) system and picture archiving & communication system (PACS) that allows mobile access for teams to player's health information at the swipe of a finger \u2014 radiological images, GPS tracking information, and detailed health evaluation data back to grade school. But as NFL football players are on the road a lot, often they're not being treated at hospitals or by specialists whose own EMRs are integrated with the NFL's; it's a microcosm of the industry-wide healthcare interoperability issue facing the U.S. today. The NFL, however, found achieving EMR interoperability isn't so much a technological issue as a political one, and if you have publicity on your side, it's not that difficult. NFL CIO Michelle McKenna-Doyle, who led the NFL's EMR rollout, said a call from a team owner to a hospital administrator typically does the trick. Even NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell once made the call to a hospital CEO, \"and things started moving in the next couple of days,\" McKenna-Doyle said. \"They're very aware of the publicity.\"\nScientists Locate Sunken, Radioactive Aircraft Carrier Off California Coast\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's what-you-leave-behind department:\nHughPickens.com writes: Aaron Kinney reports in the San Jose Mercury News that scientists have captured the first clear images of the USS Independence, a radioactivity-polluted World War II aircraft carrier that rests on the ocean floor 30 miles off the coast of Half Moon Bay. The Independence saw combat at Wake Island and other decisive battles against Japan in 1944 and 1945 and was later blasted with radiation in two South Pacific nuclear tests. Assigned as a target vessel for the Operation Crossroads atomic bomb tests, she was placed within one-half-mile of ground zero and was engulfed in a fireball and heavily damaged during the 1946 nuclear weapons tests at Bikini Atoll. The veteran ship did not sink, however (though her funnels and island were crumpled by the blast), and after taking part in another explosion on 25 July, the highly radioactive hull was later taken to Pearl Harbor and San Francisco for further tests and was finally scuttled off the coast of San Francisco, California, on 29 January 1951. \"This ship is an evocative artifact of the dawn of the atomic age, when we began to learn the nature of the genie we'd uncorked from the bottle,\" says James Delgado. \"It speaks to the 'Greatest Generation' \u2014 people's fathers, grandfathers, uncles and brothers who served on these ships, who flew off those decks and what they did to turn the tide in the Pacific war.\"\nSocial Science Journal 'Bans' Use of p-values\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's let's-argue-about-sabermetrics-instead department:\nsandbagger writes: Editors of Basic and Applied Social Psychology announced in a February editorial that researchers who submit studies for publication would not be allowed to use common statistical methods, including p-values. While p-values are routinely misused in scientific literature, many researchers who understand its proper role are upset about the ban. Biostatistician Steven Goodman said, \"This might be a case in which the cure is worse than the disease. The goal should be the intelligent use of statistics. If the journal is going to take away a tool, however misused, they need to substitute it with something more meaningful.\"\nFBI Accuses Researcher of Hacking Plane, Seizes Equipment\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's security-theater department:\nchicksdaddy writes: The Feds are listening, and they really can't take a joke. That's the apparent moral of security researcher Chris Roberts' legal odyssey on Wednesday, which saw him escorted off a plane in Syracuse by two FBI agents and questioned for four hours over a humorous tweet Roberts posted about his ability to hack into the cabin control systems of the Boeing 737 he was flying. Roberts (aka @sidragon1) joked that he could \"start playing with EICAS messages,\" a reference to the Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System.\nRoberts was traveling to Syracuse to give a presentation. He said local law enforcement and FBI agents boarded the plane on the tarmac and escorted him off. He was questioned for four hours, with officers alleging they had evidence he had tampered with in-flight systems on an earlier leg of his flight from Colorado to Chicago. Roberts said the agents questioned him about his tweet and whether he tampered with the systems on the United flight -something he denies doing. Roberts had been approached earlier by the Denver office of the FBI which warned him away from further research on airplanes. The FBI was also looking to approach airplane makers Boeing and Airbus and wanted him to rebuild a virtualized environment he built to test airplane vulnerabilities to verify what he was saying.\nRoberts refused, and the FBI seized his encrypted laptop and storage devices and has yet to return them, he said. The agents said they wished to do a forensic analysis of his laptop. Roberts said he declined to provide that information and requested a warrant to search his equipment. As of Friday, Roberts said he has not received a warrant.\nStarTalk TV Show With Neil DeGrasse Tyson Starts Monday\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's way-better-than-reality-tv department:\nAn anonymous reader writes: Neil DeGrasse Tyson of StarTalk Radio and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey has a TV show starting on Monday, April 20, at 11 p.m. ET/10 p.m. CT on NatGeo. Based on Dr. Tyson's prominent podcast of the same name, the hour-long, weekly series infuses pop culture with science, while bringing together comedians and celebrities to delve into a wide range of topics. Each week, in a private interview, Dr. Tyson explores all the ways science and technology have influenced the lives and livelihoods of his guests, whatever their background.\nBreakthrough In Artificial Photosynthesis Captures CO2 In Acetate\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's use-it-to-3D-print-your-own-clones department:\nAn anonymous reader writes: Researchers from Berkeley Lab and the U.S. Dept. of Energy have created an artificial photosynthetic process that capture carbon dioxide in acetate, \"the most common building block today for biosynthesis.\" The research has been published in the journal Nano Letters (abstract). \"Atmospheric carbon dioxide is now at its highest level in at least three million years, primarily as a result of the burning of fossil fuels. Yet fossil fuels, especially coal, will remain a significant source of energy to meet human needs for the foreseeable future. Technologies for sequestering carbon before it escapes into the atmosphere are being pursued but all require the captured carbon to be stored, a requirement that comes with its own environmental challenges. ... By combining biocompatible light-capturing nanowire arrays with select bacterial populations, the new artificial photosynthesis system offers a win/win situation for the environment: solar-powered green chemistry using sequestered carbon dioxide.\"\nScientists Close To Solving the Mystery of Where Dogs Came From\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's evolved-to-fit-the-need-for-a-natural-vacuum-cleaner department:\nsciencehabit writes: For years researchers have argued over where and when dogs arose. Some say Europe, some say Asia. Some say 15,000 years ago, some say more than 30,000 years ago. Now an unprecedented collaboration of archaeologists and geneticists from around the world is attempting to solve the mystery once and for all. They're analyzing thousands of bones, employing new technologies, and trying to put aside years of bad blood and bruised egos. If the effort succeeds, the former competitors will uncover the history of man's oldest friend \u2014 and solve one of the greatest mysteries of domestication.\nLAUSD OKs Girls-Only STEM School, Plans Boys-Only English Language Arts School\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's who-needs-a-balanced-education department:\ntheodp writes: Citing statistics that showed a whopping 46 more boys than girls passed the AP Computer Science Exam in 2011-12, the 640,000+ student Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) on Tuesday approved a waiver to enable the District to operate a single-gender, all-girls STEM School called the Girls Academic Leadership Academy (GALA). Students in GALA will follow a six year sequence of computer courses starting in middle school that will culminate in AP Computer Science Principles. \"Fewer females take AP courses in math, science, or computer science, and they are not as successful as males in receiving passing scores of 3, 4 or 5,\" argued the General Waiver Request (PDF, 700+ pages). \"An all girls environment is reasonably necessary for the school to improve the self-confidence of girls in their academic abilities, especially in STEM areas where an achievement gap currently exists. GALA's admissions shall also comply with AB 1266 to ensure male students who identify as female are admitted to the school.\" The school's CS-related Partners include the UCLA Exploring Computer Science Program, as well as Google-bankrolled Girls Who Code, Black Girls Code, and NCWIT. One of the reasons the all-girls STEM school reportedly got the green light is that its backers satisfied federal regulations requiring a \"substantially equal school\" for excluded male students by submitting a plan for a companion all-boys school that would emphasize English Language Arts, where they often fall short of girls' test scores, rather than GALA's focus on STEM. One suspects the no-fan-of-gender-restricted-public-schools ACLU may call BS on this maneuver.\nWikileaks Publishes Hacked Sony Emails, Documents\nBy samzenpus from Slashdot's take-a-look department:\nitwbennett writes Wikileaks has published a searchable database of thousands of emails and documents from Sony Pictures Entertainment that were leaked in late 2014 after the studio was attacked by hackers. Some of the 173,132 emails and 30,287 documents contain highly personal information about Sony employees including home addresses, personal phone numbers and social security numbers, a fact which is likely to raise new concerns about the use of stolen information online.\nAMD Withdraws From High-Density Server Business\nBy samzenpus from Slashdot's stop-the-bleeding department:\nAn anonymous reader sends word that AMD has pulled out of the market for high-density servers. \"AMD has pulled out of the market for high-density servers, reversing a strategy it embarked on three years ago with its acquisition of SeaMicro. AMD delivered the news Thursday as it announced financial results for the quarter. Its revenue slumped 26 percent from this time last year to $1.03 billion, and its net loss increased to $180 million, the company said. AMD paid $334 million to buy SeaMicro, which developed a new type of high-density server aimed at large-scale cloud and Internet service providers.\"\nUK Company Wants To Deliver Parcels Through Underground Tunnels\nBy samzenpus from Slashdot's mole-mail department:\nZothecula writes Drones flown by Amazon aren't the only way we could be getting our parcels delivered in the near future. UK firm Mole Solutions is exploring the possibility of using small robot trains running on underground tracks to manage deliveries, and it's just received funding from the British government to help test the viability of the proposal.\nNewly Discovered Sixth Extinction Rivals That of the Dinosaurs\nBy samzenpus from Slashdot's end-of-the-line department:\nsciencehabit writes Earth has seen its share of catastrophes, the worst being the 'big five' mass extinctions scientists traditionally talk about. Now, paleontologists are arguing that a sixth extinction, 260 million years ago, at the end of a geological age called the Capitanian, deserves to be a member of the exclusive club. In a new study, they offer evidence for a massive die-off in shallow, cool waters in what is now Norway. That finding, combined with previous evidence of extinctions in tropical waters, means that the Capitanian was a global catastrophe.\nMicrosoft's Role As Accuser In the Antitrust Suit Against Google\nBy samzenpus from Slashdot's on-the-other-side department:\nHughPickens.com writes Danny Hakim reports at the NYT that as European antitrust regulators formally accuse Google of abusing its dominance, Microsoft is relishing playing a behind-the-scenes role of scold instead of victim. Microsoft has founded or funded a cottage industry of splinter groups to go after Google. The most prominent, the Initiative for a Competitive Online Marketplace, or Icomp, has waged a relentless public relations campaign promoting grievances against Google. It conducted a study that suggested changes made by Google to appease regulators were largely window dressing. \"Microsoft is doing its best to create problems for Google,\" says Manfred Weber, the chairman of the European People's Party, the center-right party that is the largest voting bloc in the European Parliament. \"It's interesting. Ten years ago Microsoft was a big and strong company. Now they are the underdog.\"\nEnceladus Spreads Ghostly Ice Tendrils Around Saturn\nBy samzenpus from Slashdot's old-space-faithful department:\nastroengine writes A ghostly apparition has long been known to follow Saturn moon Enceladus in its orbit around the gas giant. But until now, scientists have had a hard time tracking its source. Using images from NASA's Cassini mission, the source of these tendrils have been tracked down and they originate from the icy moon's famous geysers. But even better than that, scientists have been able to track the tendril shapes down to the specific geysers that produce them. \"We've been able to show that each unique tendril structure can be reproduced by particular sets of geysers on the moon's surface,\" said Colin Mitchell, a Cassini imaging team associate at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo., and lead author of a paper published int he Astrophysical Journal. The study of these features are helping scientists understand how much ice is being transported into Saturn's E ring from Enceladus as well as helping us understand the evolution of the moon's sub-surface ocean.\nGoogle Helps Homeless Street Vendors Get Paid By Cashless Consumers\nBy samzenpus from Slashdot's easy-pay department:\nAn anonymous reader writes Starting today Seattle pedestrians can no longer pat their pockets and claim to have no cash when offered a copy of the ironically-named Real Change weekly newspaper by a homeless street vendor. Google has spent two years working with the Real Change organization to develop a barcode-scanning app which lets passers-by purchase a digital edition with their mobile phones. Google's Meghan Casserly believes the Real Change app \u2014 available on Android and iOs \u2014 represents the first of its kind in North America.\nGNU Hurd 0.6 Released\njrepin writes It has been roughly a year and a half since the last release of the GNU Hurd operating system, so it may be of interest to some readers that GNU Hurd 0.6 has been released along with GNU Mach 1.5 (the microkernel that Hurd runs on) and GNU MIG 1.5 (the Mach Interface Generator, which generates code to handle remote procedure calls). New features include procfs and random translators; cleanups and stylistic fixes, some of which came from static analysis; message dispatching improvements; integer hashing performance improvements; a split of the init server into a startup server and an init program based on System V init; and more.\nMIT Researchers Develop Wireless Trackpad For Your Thumbnail\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's adding-purpose-to-twiddling-your-thumbs department:\nitwbennett writes: Called NailO, the prototype trackpad is similar to the stick-on nails sometimes used as a fashion accessory. It attaches to the user's thumb and can be controlled by running a finger over its surface. The processor, battery, sensing chip and Bluetooth radio are included on a circuit board that sits under the capacitive trackpad. The two are connected via a small ribbon cable, which means the trackpad is not quite as thin as a stick-on nail, but reducing the size is one of the aims of the researchers.\nAn Engineering Analysis of the Falcon 9 First Stage Landing Failure\nBy Soulskill from Slashdot's ground-not-soft-enough department:\nschwit1 writes: AviationWeek has posted an analysis of SpaceX's latest attempt to land its Falcon 9 rocket on an ocean barge. Quoting: \"SpaceX founder and chief technology officer Elon Musk tweeted that \"excess lateral velocity caused it [the booster] to tip over post landing.\" In a later tweet that was subsequently withdrawn, Musk then indicated that \"the issue was stiction in the biprop throttle valve, resulting in control system phase lag.\" In this statement, Musk was referring to \"stiction\" \u2014 or static friction \u2014 in the valve controlling the throttling of the engine. The friction appears to have momentarily slowed the response of the engine, causing the control system to command more of an extreme reaction from the propulsion system than was required. As a result, the control system entered a form of hysteresis, a condition in which the control response lags behind changes in the effect causing it.\nDespite the failure of the latest attempt, SpaceX will be encouraged by the landing accuracy of the Falcon 9 and the bigger-picture success of its guidance, navigation and control (GNC) system in bringing the booster back to the drone ship. The GNC also worked as designed during the prior landing attempt in January, which ended in the destruction of the vehicle following a hard touchdown on the edge of the platform.\"\nIn related news, SpaceX is hoping to attempt its next landing on solid ground.\nEmbedded Linux Takes to the Skies (Video)\nBy Roblimo from Slashdot's robot-drones-want-you-to-take-them-to-your-leader-(beep) department:\nThis is an interview with Clay McClure. He makes his living designing 'custom Linux software solutions for technology start-ups in Atlanta and the San Francisco Bay area.' He also works on Embedded Linux for autonomous drones. Here's a link to slides from a talk he gave on exactly that topic: Flying Penguins - Embedded Linux Applications for autonomous UAVs, and that's far from all he has to say about making Linux-controlled drones. However, for some reason Timothy and Clay didn't talk about using drones for target practice. Perhaps they can discuss that another time.\nNOTE: We urge you to read the transcript of this interview even if you prefer watching videos; it contains material we left out of the video due to sound problems.",

        "raw_content": "This quote seems to suggest that give and take, is just compromise.\nIn a relationship, give and take can be much more than compromise. Imagine borrowing a little money from a friend to buy a drink or some food. If you pay it back promptly and with thanks, that friend is more likely to lend you money again and more likely to lend you a larger some of money. Give and take is also about building trust within a relationship.\nClose friendships are about trust, but they are also about shared experiences. They are about giving each other the benefit of the doubt and providing support. That takes a lot of giving by one friend when the other friend needs to be the recipient within the relationship. It can be very one sided, but it shouldn\u2019t always be one sided. Often we have skills that our friends don\u2019t have and so can give them help and advice using our talents and skills. That skill might be just being a good listener.\nIn the workplace, give and take is important too. We are social animals and have social skills and these can be used in the work place and in business. Friendly people make better sales people.\nThere are rules within relationships. We need to be courteous and polite if we want successful relationships. This again is about give and take. We have to have enough respect for other people to be polite and we also have to accept their polite gestures graciously.\nWe all tend to judge others, but we should give people the benefit of the doubt unless we know the full circumstances that influences their behaviour. We may not approve of what some people do. But should we castigate them in public without knowing all the facts? Give and take can be applied in life in a wider way, giving almost everyone the benefit of the doubt. This means trying to understand what drives people to behave badly. We don\u2019t have to approve, but we don\u2019t have to condemn people utterly for the slightest transgression of our moral code. After all none of us are perfect, we all make mistakes. It is also important to recognise the difference between deliberate transgressions and genuine mistakes.\nWhat do you think? Do we need more give and take in our everyday lives?

        "raw_content": "In this instance, \"the judge is going to get flak\", he said. Neighbours and schools will be warned he is living nearby.\n\"He seemingly thinks that he hasn't done anything wrong\".\nMontgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele rejected the notion that \"age, infirmity, should somehow equate to mercy\".\nDefence lawyer Joseph Green argued that one factor in branding a \"sexually violent predator\" was the risk of re-offending - and that the literature shows that risk declines with age. But Deborah Tuerkheimer, a law professor at Northwestern University and an expert on sexual assault cases, said Cosby's case, as well as the election of US President Donald Trump in 2016, helped \"seed the ground\" for the coming wave. He said the legally blind 81-year-old would have few opportunities to meet and victimise anyone else.\nJudge Steven O'Neill is also expected to decide whether to declare Cosby a \"sexually violent predator\" - a scarlet letter that would make him subject to mandatory lifetime counseling and community notification of his whereabouts.\nIf he must serve time, he could be taken into custody immediately after the judge pronounces the sentence.\nAt the end of the potentially two-day hearing, Montgomery County Judge Steven T. O'Neill could sentence Cosby to as many as 30 years in prison or send him home on probation. The state sentencing guidelines indicate 22 to 36 months in prison, plus or minus 12 months because of aggravating or mitigating circumstances.\n\"[The movement] may have influenced the judge's willingness to allow more witnesses\", Orenstein said.\nConstand will make a statement during the hearing, according to multiple reports.\n\"I have given you my victim impact statement\". Cosby shouted: \"He doesn't have a plane, you asshole!\" \"All I'm asking for is justice as the court sees fit\".\nEx-Canadiens captain Gionta to retire after 16 National Hockey League seasons\nA psychologist for the prosecution said that Cosby had a mental disorder that gave him \"uncontrollable urges\" against non-consenting women. She said people who commit this sort of aberrant sexual behaviour, which she described as a form of paraphilia, were likely to reoffend.\nThe doctor in question, Dr. Timothy Foley, is unavailable until Tuesday morning at the earliest.\n\"Despite bullying tactics, despite PR teams and other folks trying to change the optics, as one lawyer for the defense put it, the bottom line is that nobody's above the law\".\nLublin and former model Janice Dickinson - another Cosby accuser - were among those in the courtroom today.\nSeveral of the Cosby accusers who were in Pennsylvania for the trial have returned, including Lili Bernard and Therese Serignese.\nAndrew Wyatt spoke to reporters as he walked into a suburban Philadelphia courthouse Monday afternoon.\nO'Neill last week denied prosecutors' request to present \"numerous\" witnesses who would testify that Cosby sexually abused them in incidents that did not result in criminal charges, court records show.\n\"Mr. Cosby's frustration got the better of him and he used a name towards Mr. Steele he shouldn't have\", Green said.\nCosby was the first celebrity to go to trial in the #MeToo era and could be the first to go to prison - perhaps for the rest of his days - after being convicted in April.\nCosby, who was found guilty in April, is the first celebrity to face a possible prison sentence since the start of the #MeToo movement, the national reckoning with sexual misconduct that has brought down dozens of powerful men in entertainment, politics and other fields.\nThe White House is also continuing its support of Kavanaugh in the wake of the accusation. \"I've never sexually assaulted anyone\". Trump, speaking in NY where he was attending the United Nations General Assembly, threw his full weight behind Kavanaugh .\nMohamed Salah strikes better than his Puskas-winning goal?\nThe Egyptian's goal beat acrobatic strikes from Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale as well as Denis Cheryshev's wonder effort. He scored 43 goals in total and some of those strikes were arguably better than the goal which saw him win the award.\nWHO warns of 'perfect storm' causing deadly Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo\nPockets of \"reluctance, refusal and resistance\" to accept Ebola vaccination were generating numerous new cases, Salama said.\nHe was convicted in April of aggravated sexual assault for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand at his home near Philadelphia. Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele rejected the notion that Cosby's age and infirmity entitle him to mercy.\nCosby's lawyers asked for house arrest rather than prison time, arguing that imprisonment was overly punitive given his age. In the letter, Constand said she couldn't talk, eat, sleep or socialize after Cosby assaulted her back in 2004 at his home.\nThe Knicks might prefer to wait, which would give them around $10 million in additional cap space to sign free agents in July.

        "title": "Outdoor Living: A Child in Nature | BC Family",
        "raw_content": "Posted in Arts and Crafts, Nature, Outdoor Education\nOutdoor Living: A Child in Nature\nWhile observing elders in my family who immigrated from Eastern Europe in the early 20th century, I have witnessed their deep rooted love for the land. I was not surprised when I read that Russian film makers like the late Andrei Tarkovsky have been known to take a high perspective when filming a scene \u2013 moving to a low and microscopic view of the ground. This technique can be compared to the more common cinematic angle that uses a ground level shooting position. The high/low approach permits the viewer to fully appreciate the beauty and the context of the land. Watching clips from Tarkovsky\u2019s films, I find myself longing to live in a more rural setting. The films inspire me to make a mental list of the various ways that I have experienced the natural world over the years:\nIn the daily rush to get things done, it\u2019s easy to forget about early childhood experiences in nature. The young children in our lives are experiencing these direct and intense observations every day relative to the exposure that they have to the natural world. Some foundations, such as the Tim Hortons Children\u2019s Foundation, raise money to help children in need attend camps outside of the city. Since 1877 the Fresh Air Fund in New York City has provided opportunities for children in low income communities to attend summer camps. Currently they help 1.7 million children each year. With concerns, nowadays, that children are experiencing a nature deficit \u2013 it is more important than ever to know that children have the opportunity to experience the wild and unexpected beauty of the natural world.\nAndrei Tarkovsky was a Russian film maker who filmed images of rain outdoors; reflections; running water and fire; and, characters in the foreground of long panning movements of the camera. His films featured spiritual and metaphysical themes, long takes and images that are still celebrated for their exceptional beauty. The themes in his film focussed on dreams, memory, childhood, natural elements and characters appearing in the natural environment. Ingmar Bergman once said that Tarkovsky opened invisible doors to where others could not enter.\nIn The Mirror (see below), a child leaves his grandfather\u2019s home and walks through the grass near a forest. The sequence is part of a nostalgic memory of childhood \u2013 experienced in dreams \u2013 that is shared by the narrator. The wind blows, we see elevated views of the land and we experience the stillness.\nSome of my strongest memories come from early opportunities to walk freely through nature and explore my surroundings. We see the value of this type of opportunity when we take the children in our lives into a large urban park or a rural location. The experience is open-ended and self directed. The child doesn\u2019t need an adult to explain how to see but will reawaken our own ability to fully see the world around us.\nDoes great art make a lot of money?

        "raw_content": "No Room. Maybe That Was A Good Thing.\nLet's travel back just a few verses so that I can share something with you that occurred to me this week as I thought about the Christmas story. Let's rewind to Luke 2:7\nAnd she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. --Luke 2:7\nThere was no room for them.\nContractions are closer and closer.\nDroplets of sweat cover her forehead and she breathes deep with agony.\nShe braces her swollen womb with one arm to hold back pain, she clings to Joseph with the other to merely stand.\nNo more time for rejections.\nThere is no room.\nHow sad I have thought and been taught for years, and sad it is. Even His entry was rejected.\nBut what about God's perfect plan?\nI think this is exactly what He had in mind. There are three reasons I can think of with my small mind, and I am sure there are many many more if I were to be able to sit across the table from the Father to learn from Him.\nFirst, He was born in a stable, among animals, among sheep. The perfect one came and dwelt with the imperfect. A Shepherd born among sheep. How fitting. He wasn't afraid to be amongst those less than Him.\nNo Room? Maybe that was a good thing. It may not have been as bad as we may think. God's plan and will are perfect, He knew this was going to be the case. If Jesus, God Incarnate, had been born in an inn, He would have been born in man's home. Man's dwelling. And men, in our greed, we may have tried to take credit for Sovereign activity. Thre was no room for that. No room for man to interfere. No room for man to set up a museum. No room for man to alter the true story. Outside of the inn, there was no room for man to boast or brag about being involved.\nGod took man out of the equation and brought the High and Exalted One down to dwell with the least of these, and my friends there was nothing man could do about that.\nLastly, birth is a private moment. A time to be cherished. And God kept it such by keeping it outside of the inn, away from all of the people who had arrived for the census. Just Mary, Joseph, and the Father. In the still, quiet of the stable, the Father got to see His Son be born on that Silent Night in Bethlehem.\nYour 16th gift this December to Remember - No Room.\nNo room, to Mary's ears, must have sounded like the worst thing that could happen, but You knew exactly how things needed to be, and now 2000 years later, no man can take credit for what You brought forth to be laid in a manger, the Bread of Life, from which all could eat and be filled. Thank You, Sovereign God that you didn't allow us to mess up what You already had planned.",

Before selecting potential candidate proteomic biomarkers, it is important to understand the broader context of how biological processes are regulated under different conditions or in different phenotypes. The enrichment of proteomic data consists of extracting as much biological meaning as possible from curated, pathway-based, functional protein interaction networks. Currently, most of the enrichment tools are intended for microarray data and require parametric data, whereas proteomic data are often nonparametric. In this study, we aimed to select a suite of interactive tools that can enrich proteomic results with a graphical overview. This facilitated diagnosis and interpretation prior to further analysis. From a list of proteins, a network was constructed using a map of the most severely disrupted biological process, and the disease entity was then identified on the basis of clinical data. Taken together, this graphical and interactive method ranks potential proteins via functional analysis in order to improve the choice of biomarkers for validation with the following advantages: 1) It adds neighbor proteins that are not selected by mass spectrometry analysis, but could in fact be key proteins; 2) pinpoints the biological process most often involved; and 3) predicts the most likely disease on the basis of clinical data.\nThe gene expression profiles from different cancerous tissues may be closely resembling and involve the same pathways and biological process. The use of one biomarker (gene) for screening or predicting the prognosis may not provide conclusive diagnostic evidence.. In order to improve the specificity and efficiency of the test, a panel of genes could be used.\nThe prognosis could be improved if the gene expression profiles (Figure 1A) were matched to known cancers data (Figure 1B) and integrated into its biological process (Figure 1C). The challenge in Biomedicine is integrating simultaneously complex, wide and different type of OMICS data. Here I demonstrate how graph theory upgrade the biological meaning of huge and heterogeneous data sets. It facilitates the prognosis and the prediction of cancer predisposition using real clinical data (Figure 1D).\nFigure 1: Cancer predisposition prediction using graph representation\nVideo link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E4Q_JyTyWw\nThe video describes a Cytoscape demonstration of how can built a graph that integrates experimental and known data to predict biomarkers for cancers.\nKarim Mezhoud is an Associate Professor in National Center for Nuclear Sciences and Technologies in Tunis, Tunisia. He focuses his research on studying the behavior of life systems exposed to stresses using proteomics, integrative biology, system biology, bioinformatics and biostatistics.",

        "raw_content": "How Millennials May Change the Trading World\nGeneration Y, also known as Millennials, are today\u2019s teens and twenty-somethings born in the \u201980s and \u201990s and numbering about 80 million in United States. In the coming years, they will continue to be a major force in the economy, especially as they mature. Recent studies show that 29% of wealthy investors are under age 50 and control 37% of investible assets.\nWhen it comes to trading, Millennials are taking a completely different approach, taking things in a much different direction that their predecessor Baby Boomers and Generation X-ers.\nNo longer are stock tips being passed along on golf courses, on the phone. Long gone are the handshake investment deals at cocktail parties. Today, all it takes is a few clicks on an app for Millennials to review a prospectus, get advice, and even make an investment.\nNearly 60% of millionaires from this generation would be willing to use webcam technology, including Skype and FaceTime to speak to their advisers and clients. Studies also show that people between the ages of 20 and 35 are more likely to take advantage of online tools for monitoring their investments. They\u2019re not sitting around waiting for reports to come in\u2014Millennials demand instantaneous information, and they are ready to respond immediately.\nBut that\u2019s just the logistics side of things.\nWhen it comes to investing, Millennials often prioritize social and environmental issues and the greater good when choosing an investing strategy.\nSeveral studies all seem to reach the same conclusion: The main objective of the average Millennial is to do good in some way by giving philanthropic investment a good and focusing on investment issues related to renewable energy, basic human rights and what we might call \u201cimpact investing\u201d. These studies claim that more than 85% of Millennial respondents expressed an interest in, or owned, social impact investments.\nAlso diverging from the past, Millennials demonstrate that they really need to believe in what they are investing, whether it is a social trend or a company. Millennials are much more careful and are willing to shop around. They have developed a widespread mistrust of banks, and are much more cautious about where and how they are going to invest.\nGeneration X survived a fair amount of economic turmoil and has had to work hard to recover from major losses, particularly during the most recent recession. This is part of the root cause of Millennial\u2019s mistrust of banks. Many of them like to keep their assets in cash because they started out life when their parents\u2019 retirement accounts were wiped out, and were faced with financial hardship as a result.\nThat is why there may be fewer day traders among Millennials, but those that do are bound to be successful. Surveys estimate that 26% of Americans under the age of 30 are investing in the stock market, compared to 58% of investors 50 years and older. Still, surveys found that 45 percent of Millennials are more interested in investing in the stock market today than they were just five years ago. So they may be fewer in numbers, but they might just pack a bigger investment punch\u2014and the trend is on the upswing, unlike Baby Boomer figures, who are in rapid decline.\nBecause Millennials don\u2019t chose brands\u2014or even make investment decisions\u2014based on recognition alone, a lot of research goes into everything they do. The amount of effort made to make sure an investment suits them is much greater than previous generations. In short, Millennials have no problem doing their homework, and this is a key to successful trading.\nAll the new technology and apps make it easier for Millennials to find the investment vehicles of their choice, and Millennials, unlike their predecessors, are much more eager to strap these tools on. Technology, at the end of the day, expands choice and awareness\u2014and Millennials are at the top of this food chain right now.\nWhether we\u2019re talking about making trades, checking portfolio balances, or just finding the latest financial market news, there is quite a lot to choose from. But the bottom line is that we\u2019ve moved from the golf course to the online everywhere and anywhere, with Bloomberg, Jstock, StockTwits, StockstoTrade and Profit.ly.\nGenerational Ambitions\nWhen it comes to earnings, Millennials are actually at pretty much the same place Generation X-ers were at the same age, and while there are predictions that Millennials could see a major boon in wealth in the coming decade and a half, the generation that follows them might do even more if studies on generational ambition are anything to go on.\nThe next generation\u2014Generation Z, or Post-Millennials\u2014who are now aged 15 to 20, is perceived to be more ambitious and energetic than their predecessors. The predictions are that this upcoming generation will be more willing to work longer hours to get where they want to be.\nAccording to several surveys, around 58% of Generation Z-ers said they would come into work on evenings and weekends in exchange for a bigger paycheck, compared with 45% of millennials and 40% of Generation X-ers. Also, among the all generations surveyed, Z\u2019s were the most motivated by money.\nWho is the Better Trader?\nThat\u2019s a moot point, because the playing field has changed and the newer generations hold the keys to the technology behind those changes.\nRight now, it could be said that Generation X takes a hands-on approach to investing and focuses on avoiding fees, which is key to preserving earnings. Gen Xers are more likely than Millennials to say they have general investment knowledge, feel confident in their investments, have assessed their risk tolerance and regularly rebalance their investment accounts. By educating themselves on investment topics, Gen Xers have more control over their investments and may often make smarter decisions\u2013today.\nThe pitfall for the Millennial is the need for instance gratification, which technology often gives them. They risk developing unrealistic expectations for trading in this respect. They crave instant information, and instant results. But if you combine this with their psychological profile of being cautious with money and willing to do research, a picture emerges of a very formidable trading class\u2014if not today, then soon.\nWhile Gen Xers have proven today to be good traders, Millennials are actually thought to be more confident about the future and\u2014despite their general need for instant gratification\u2014more willing (at least than Baby Boomers) to take more time to review an investment before diving in. A study by BlackRock showed that Millennials spent seven hours per month studying their investments, compared to two hours spent by the average Baby Boomer.\nMillennials are a bullish group of traders, but tend to focus more on the long-term than the day trading\u2014and there are very committed to protecting their financial futures to avoid a repeat of what happened to their parents.\nSo while Millennials are not the biggest day-trading generation, the technology is certainly pushing them in that direction and they have what it takes\u2014speed, caution and willingness to do homework\u2014to make a successful run of this.\nWhich are you? If you\u2019re straddling one of these generations, you might want to take a long look at the generational psychology behind your strategy and decisions to figure out what best suits you\u2014and why.\nPosted on February 15, 2018 February 15, 2019 Categories LinksLeave a comment on How Millennials May Change the Trading World\nWrite every day project \u2013 Day 1\nPhoto Credit: Zen Pencils\nPost Quality Rating: C-\nFor a guy that has had \u201cbe a writer\u201d on his to do list, I do an almost awe inspiring little amount of writing.

        "raw_content": "\u00ab How Can Districts Help Teachers Develop Social-Emotional Skills? | Main | Being OK With Not Being OK: Teaching and Loving Ourselves \u00bb\nSocial-Emotional Intelligence Is Missing From School. Here's Why That Matters.\nBy Teaching Ahead Contributor on June 28, 2017 8:21 AM\nFredrick Scott Salyers\nI teach 9th grade college readiness at a charter high school in New York City's Brooklyn borough. In this class, I introduce students to topics such as personal organization, the college admissions process, and more. However, in almost every class, I also verbalize the need for students to become effective communicators. I stress to my students the importance of understanding themselves and adjusting to any social environment as necessary skills for success in the real world. These skills are considered the core competencies of emotional and social intelligence. While our students increasingly turn to social media and technology for surface interaction, it is more important than ever for educators to implement social-emotional skills into their classrooms.\nAuthor and psychologist Daniel Goleman coined the term \"emotional intelligence\" in his book, published in 1995. According to Goleman, emotional intelligence is \"the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships.\" The Teleos Leadership Institute defines emotional and social intelligence as \"competencies linked to self-awareness, self-management, social [awareness], and relationship management, which enable people to understand and manage their own and others' emotions in social interactions.\" While current education trends heavily rely on structure and a mantra of \"no excuses,\" emotional and social intelligence is what is missing from American education.\nEffective teachers employ these skills in their classrooms regularly. The teachers that students remember and learn from the most typically are the ones who empathize with and persevere alongside their students. The ability to communicate clearly, make thoughtful decisions, and solve problems with students builds strong relationships, which in turn, can guarantee academic and personal investment. These actions are fostered in classrooms that normalize error, encourage problem-solving, and make students feel comfortable with themselves and each other; making it easier to learn.\nTo address this issue, schools must begin to think outside of data-driven instruction as a means of successful development for students. Many schools shy away from training staff and faculty members on emotional and social intelligence. While Goleman outlines what defines those competencies, it is not easy for administrators to measure teachers' mastery or performance of these skills, or to identify their impact in the classroom. The outcome is that many students are leaving our grade schools wholly unprepared for the unpredictability that comes along with college and the real world.\nTeachers can transfer skills such as self-awareness and empathy to their students by consistently modeling them in whole-class or whole-school moments. When students observe the awareness their instructors operate with, they are likely to mimic the behavior or become curious about the experiences that have developed their own teachers. When students observe teachers with positive self-images and strong self-awareness, it impacts their own self-esteem and their ability to learn.\nEmotional and social learning can take on various forms in the classroom, especially for teachers of color. It can be a regular morning meeting, where students review and discuss their perspectives on school culture and current events. It can be an analysis of a conflict of a novel and a discussion about different paths the characters might have taken. It can be a simple moment that provides a student the space to think and reflect without the threat of punishment, rather than react automatically, and often aggressively, to distress. It can be a situation in which a teacher of color shares an experience about how to handle encounters of racism or other injustices related to identity. It can be a scenario that pushes students to generate various solutions for coding problems in a computer science class.\nImplementing more emotional and social learning will require a new movement in American education. It is not enough to train and develop the brains of our children, while leaving their hearts empty or unloved. In order to make our children more prepared for the real world, teachers must look beyond grit and structure. We must teach our children to feel, to adjust, and to thrive in the face of any adversity they may encounter.\nFredrick Scott Salyers is an associate dean of school culture and a college-readiness instructor at a charter school in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

The boxes represented buildings, and they will go on to become invaluable geospatial data that will help the residents of Accra prepare for and respond to flood risk. Home to over two million people, Ghana\u2019s capital city is highly vulnerable to flooding. In 2015, torrential rainfall left much of the city underwater\u2014affecting 53,000 people and causing an estimated US$100 million in damages.\nIn just a little over two hours, the volunteers made over 3,000 edits to the map of Alajo, complementing the work of local teams in Ghana that are leading data collection efforts in the field. Once validated by more experienced mappers, the data collected will help guide improvements to Accra\u2019s solid waste disposal management system, and also inform the upgrading of settlements vulnerable to flooding.\nOpen Cities Africa: Collaborative mapping to build resilient societies\nMapping for sustainable development",

I\u2019m also a bit annoyed that I haven\u2019t completed the clanger.\nI\u2019m really pleased by the wool-ball bears and Otis Redherring. The weaving (my current craft is another weaving) has been nice, and I\u2019m fairly happy with the crochet. Though I feel like the writing and comic projects are only half-way there, I\u2019m happy about the half that\u2019s done.\nThere\u2019s so many things to do, so much fun to be had; and I\u2019m easily overwhelmed by it all, unable to decide what to do with myself.

        "raw_content": "Posted on 07/14/2016 1:38 AM by carolesboxes Comment\nThis topic can be about two different things that are on opposite sides of the spectrum for the storing of items.\nOne line of thought would fall down the rabbit hold of storing containers that have a lot of your stuff in them.\nThe other line of thinking would go down the spectrum of actually storing your stuff in a storage facilities.\nWell, let\u2019s go down that rabbit hole.\nI have a lot of experience using boxes as my main storage containers to just hold all of the possessions that I had. There was a lot of random stuff I had piling up in my home, and Iit took somebody else saying something to me to figure out how to organize all of my stuff. The reason I am so into boxes is that they literally saved my life. I was a hoarder. I was going down a touchy path where I was starting to live in my own filth, and there was just no way to actually get to cleaning and take care of the mess that accumulated over the years. Thank the heavens I made a serious life choice that changed it for the better. By establishing that I will store all of the random stuff I had in boxes, it created enough space for me to use for other things. I was actually able to clean my home again. I could have people over to the house without feeling embarrassed about the mess in the other room. My life was becoming whole again, and it was honestly thanks to the storage boxes that I had.\nContinue reading \u2192 Post ID 45\n\uf4c2This entry was posted in Boxes\nWhat is your great fear?\nMost of modern society will come up with fears of pain, heights, abandonment, public speaking, or some other pre-conceived belief they harbor that holds them back from experience. We all have something in particular we fear, and it is perfectly okay. We also have things that make us feel whole. Talking with other people, being with your friends, enjoying time with your family, exercise, learning, and so on. What is it that takes up your mind more? Fear? Excitement? Ideas? Same-ol\u2019-same-ol? Boring life? What would you rather have take up your mind?\nWhat is not okay is holding back creativity. Perhaps the greatest and most common fear held in today\u2019s society is to THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. Whether it be due to religious beliefs telling you that your thoughts are wrong, immoral, and not to be thought of, the reinforcement of others that creative thoughts are stupid, or anything else, the belief that thinking outside of the box is stupid is completely backwards and absolutely the opposite idea that is correct.\nThinking outside the box is the best thing you can do to contribute to society during your time here on Earth. When people\u2019s thoughts are stifled and they are told to conform to the norms of society, they are being completely withheld from reaching their true potential. Anything that has been accomplished, and will be accomplished came due in part from people thinking differently from anyone else.\nIn my life, I had the blessing of being mentored by smart and free thinking member\u2019s of society. My parents were rebellious in their own ways by having a child under the age of 18. And, being a young child growing up around people who could share the same generation of people as me allowed them to confide in me a lot of their insights that they developed through their life to that point. When I was in my teenage years, a family friend of my parents started to become a major mentor in my life. Throughout my life up until that point, one thing that I heard often in school was that I did not fit in. Having started his own business, WalnutCreekPests.com at the ripe age of 19, he was not necessarily a society conformer. He did not get a traditional job after high school, did not go to college, and he seemed to not care what others thought of him. He told me the biggest advice that he had to share was to something he heard from Robert Downey Junior. \u201cListen, smile, agree, and then do whatever the fuck you were gonna do anyway.\u201d These words are powerful because, while, most of what people have to say is B.S., do the courtesy of listening and see if there is anything you can take from it. Other\u2019s opinions can influence you, but if you are a free enough thinker, you can use what you learn and still do whatever you want to anyway.

When you hand someone an envelope with a simple gift card, ticket, or money, there is only so much that can fit into an envelope. People are less likely to be surprised by what they find in the envelope as there are only so many things that can fit in there. With a box, there is an absurd amount of things that could be hiding inside. Basically nothing is predictable by stashing away your gift in a box.\nOne Christmas year, my grandparents played a little trick on me the whole time. My grandma had asked what I would like for Christmas, and I was upfront and honest with her and told her that money is tight, and anything that could help my finances would be a delight.\nWell for Christmas that year, to my astonishment, there would loads of presents that were signed to me underneath the tree. I was puzzled, but had no anguish toward the situation. So as we sat down around the living room and gifts were beginning to be passed around, my grandma brought my first gift up to me with a big smile on her face in the form of a very large box. I was again very unsure of what to expect as I had year in and year out received presents in a large box and gift cards and money in an envelope. But, the excitement stirred inside me as I awaited to open it.\nWhen moving from location to location, depending on the size of the move, you\u2019re probably going to need something to contain all of your stuff. One of the neatest and most useful inventions in mankind\u2019s history has been thought of the common box.\nOne of the more likely sayings you have heard is to think outside of the box, but what if you are packing the stuff that you thought of outside the box into the box, what would you think about that now?",

        "raw_content": "At first glance, it seems that Giuseppe Verdi's Shakespeare-based operas would have plenty of company in the world's theaters. After all, the influence of Shakespeare is widespread in just about every kind of entertainment imaginable.\nThere are Shakespeare-inspired rock tunes such as \"Romeo and Juliet,\" by Dire Straits, and Elvis Costello's \"Mystery Dance.\" Symphonic works based on Shakespeare have been composed by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Dvorak, among others. His dramas have turned up in a wide range of movies, and there are even comic book editions of Shakespeare's plays.\nAstoundingly, though, Verdi's Shakespeare operas are musical oddities. While hundreds of operas have been based on Shakespeare's works, only a few might be called opera house staples. Charles Gounod's Romeo and Juliet is one, along with Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The other obvious candidates are all by Verdi: Macbeth, Falstaff and Otello.\nVerdi's career was not only amazingly successful, but also remarkably long. He lived from 1813 until 1901, and his operas spanned a period of nearly six decades. Still, there were bumps in the road. When Verdi was in his 60's, he seemed to lose enthusiasm. He wasn't thrilled with the music of his younger colleagues, and for more than 10 years he didn't write a single, new opera.\nThen two old friends approached him -- publisher Giulio Ricordi and librettist Arrigo Boito. It had been almost forty years since Verdi composed Macbeth. The two suggested he might turn to Shakespeare again, with a setting of Othello.\nVerdi took them up on it. Though he wrote only two more operas -- the profound tragedy Otello and the wistful comedy Falstaff -- both are rooted in Shakespeare, and they may just be the two finest Shakespeare-based operas ever composed.\nOn World of Opera, host Lisa Simeone presents Otello from one a venue that lives up to its name, the 2000-year-old Th\u00e9\u00e2tre Antique in Orange, France. The production features tenor Roberto Alagna and soprano Inva Mula as Otello and Desdemona, with a vivid performance by baritone Seng-Hyoun Ko as the villain Iago.\nWorld of Opera: Home from the High Seas: Bellini's 'Il Pirata'\nCarolina Live: WDAV Young Chamber Musicians Competition Concert\nCarolina Live: Greenville Chorale: Peace and Hope",

Everyone should be concerned to create and support institutions that improve the conditions of human ljfe.\n1927 It is the role of the state to defend and promote the common good of civil society. The common good of the whole human family calls for an organization of society on the international level.\n1928 Society ensures social justice when it provides the conditions 2832 that allow associations or individuals to obtain what is their due, according to their nature and their vocation. Social justice is linked to the common good and the exercise of authority.\n1929 Social justice can be obtained only in respecting the transcendent dignity of man. The person represents the ultimate end of i88i society, which is ordered to him: What is at stake is the dignity of the human person, whose defence and promotion have been entrusted to us by the Creator, and to whom the men and women at every moment of history are strictly and responsibly in debt.35 1930 Respect for the human person entails respect for the rights that flow from his dignity as a creature. These rights are prior to 1700 society and must be recognized by it. They are the basis of the moral legitimacy of every authority: by flouting them, or refusing 1902 to recognize them in its positive legislation, a society undermines its own moral legitimacy.~6 If it does not respect them, authority can rely only on force or violence to obtain obedience from its subjects. It is the Church\u0092s role to remind men of good will of these rights, and to distinguish them from unwarranted or false claims. 1931 Respect for the human person proceeds by way of respect for the principle that \u0091everyone should look upon his neighbour 2212 (without any exception) as \u0093another self\u0094, above all bearing in",

Tags: Convenient Care Walk-In Clinic, Spectrum Health United Hospital, walk-in clinic\nYou asked, Spectrum Health United Hospital has listened.\nThe Convenient Care Walk-In Clinic, located at 1202 W Oak Street, across from the United Hospital, opened October 5 and is making primary care more \u201cconvenient\u201d by offering extended hours and weekend access to all.\nSpectrum Health recognizes that health care doesn\u2019t always follow a doctor\u2019s schedule. The Convenient Care Walk-In Clinic is open Monday to Friday, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.\n\u201cThe concept for the Walk-In Clinic was developed based on feedback received from the community, who expressed a desire to have an alternative to the emergency department for after-hours primary care,\u201d said Brian Brasser, President of United and Kelsey Hospitals. \u201cThe feedback was evident in our recent Community Health Needs Assessment, it has been brought forward by our Patient and Family Advisory Council, and also during one-on-one conversations out in the community.\u201d\nThe clinic will be staffed with a Physician Assistant and a team of registration and clinical staff. Dr. Kaushal Kalra from Greenville Family Medicine is the supervising physician for the clinic.\nWhether you are a current patient or not, the Convenient Care Walk-In Clinic can provide the care you need, when you need it, and your care will be coordinated back to your provider. \u201cOur priority is to grow and support the network of really amazing primary care providers in our community, and the clinic is not intended to replace that provider/patient relationship. Rather, it is designed to be an affordable and clinically effective way to support that relationship by providing access when the provider is not available,\u201d said Todd Boonstra, Physician Assistant.\nPatient financial responsibility varies with insurance coverage, but typically, Urgent Care and Emergency room visits will have higher copays and costs to the patient. The Convenient Care Walk-In Clinic is designed to offer additional access options at a more affordable price similar to the costs of a primary care office or specialist.\n\u201cThe clinic will care for needs such as insect bites, rashes, coughs, congestion, flu-like symptoms, sore throats, and sports physicals for school. After seeing us for this visit, we send a full after-visit summary of care back to the primary care physician so they are aware of care given outside of their management and can continue follow up care for the patient as needed,\u201d explained Juliane Giles, Practice Manager. \u201cIf your need is more severe and cannot be treated in the clinic, we will immediately notify the ER of the need and direct the patient from our office to the ER.\u201d\nFor more information about the Convenient Care Walk-In Clinic, please call 616.754.4685.\n\u00ab Pheasant season offers growing opportunities for hunters\nCedar Springs Brewing Company \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Posted on May 23, 2010 by Jordan Hurder\nSo Justine and I are back from our two-week honeymoon in New Zealand, and we\u2019re ready to make books again! We\u2019re about halfway through binding up the Larding books, and once we have the signed pages back from Steve Hines, we\u2019ll be just about ready to list them for sale. We sat down and figured it out today, and the final stat is that, when you add up the total amount of time we will have spent on the deluxe edition of this book, each copy from conception to finished product will have taken us between 4 and 5 hours (and that doesn\u2019t include the time spent actually planning out the book in the first place). Spread that out over 22 copies and you\u2019ve got a pretty big workload for what\u2019s supposed to be a \u201chobby.\u201d\nIn other exciting news, work has started on both the Paul Hornschemeier book and the Carol Es book. I put a mockup in the mail today for Paul, who is working on the artwork right now. We\u2019re going to start prework while he does that, and then we can get to printing and binding in August/September. We had originally scheduled to start production on Carol\u2019s book *after* Paul\u2019s is officially released at the Alternative Press Expo in October, but it turns out that Carol has a solo show at a highfalutin\u2019 gallery in LA in late October and she requested that some copies of her book be done by then. So, we\u2019re pushing into overdrive and trying to get both of them done by then (although the true release date for Carol\u2019s book probably won\u2019t be until 2011, with only a handful of pre-release copies making it to the gallery opening).",

Higgins, Nancy Pines; Chris Richardson, Greg White, 1 Section 5 resident\nChris moved that the minutes of the February 11, 2014, Council meeting be approved as presented; there was a second and the motion passed unanimously.\nGreg said that he finds it difficult to back his van out of his driveway on Williams Ln. because there is a telephone pole on the left side of his driveway in the public strip and there are cars parked directly across the street from his driveway. There was some discussion about solutions to his problem. A resident suggested that the Council have portions of the curbs which are located directly across the street from a driveway on the north side of Williams Ln. painted white as a signal to residents that they should not park directly across the street from a driveway.\nThe manager will count the number of driveways on the north side of Williams Ln. which are directly across the street from a stretch of curb where cars could park. She will present her findings to the Council at the April meeting. The manger will contact the Village Police Chief about the length of the white strips to be painted on the south side of Williams Ln.\nAgenda Item: Discussion of Ordinance to Restrict Through Truck Traffic on Williams Lane 5\nA Morton Thomas, Inc., an engineering firm, has been engaged to conduct a traffic survey on Williams Lane some time in March. The Morton engineer said she would need a full week during which there is no snow forecast before the company will begin the survey. A snow plow would destroy the survey wires strung across the street. The manager will continue to stay in touch with A. Morton Thomas, Inc. about the survey.\nAgenda Item: Discussion of Changes to Election Regulations\nThe proposed election regulation changes involve the deadline for a candidate to declare his/her candidacy for election, to remove his/her name for his/her candidacy and to submit a statement of his/her qualifications and reasons for candidacy.\nChris asked the manager if she had received any calls about the proposed changes; she said that no one had contacted her. The new wording for the election regulations is in bold:\nSec. 2-200 Placement of names in nomination for office by:\n(b) In either case, the declaration or nomination must be in writing and submitted to the manager \u201cby the first (1st) day of March.\u201d Change words in quotation marks to read: \u201cthirty days (30) prior to election date.\u201d\nSec. 2-300 Withdrawal of nomination.\nAny person nominated may withdraw from nomination by written notice to the section manager \u201cby the tenth (10th) day of March.\u201d Change words in quotation marks to read: \u201c20 (twenty) days prior to election.\u201d\nSec. 2-400 Voluntary statement by nominees; notice to voters of annual meeting and candidates.\n(a) Each candidate may submit a statement of no more than 200 words as to qualifications and reasons for candidacy. Submission of this statement is voluntary and if submitted, must be received by the section manager \u201con or before March 10th.\u201d Change words in quotation marks to read: \u201c30 (thirty) days prior to election.\u201d\nChris moved that the proposed changes to the election rules be enacted; there was a second and the motion passed unanimously. The manager will have these new changes posted on Section 5\u2019s web site in the appropriate place in the election rules section.\nDiscussion of 2014/15 Budget\nTim had earlier given a copy of the proposed 2014/15 budget to each Council member; this sheet also contained the revenues and expenditures for the three most years as well as the revenues and expenditures for FY 2013/14 to the end of March. All of the expenditures for 2013/14 are within budget except for snow removal. There have been record snowfalls this winter.\nThe figures for revenues are all approximations because the State income taxes are not known until residents pay their State income taxes for the year. There was much discussion. The Council decided to wait until the April meeting before it votes on the proposed budget for FY 2014/15; Tim and Peter will be at that meeting.\n3804 Thornapple St. \u2012 back yard fence\n3826 Woodbine St. \u2012 demolition of house and garage\nA resident has asked the manager about placing a flyer advertising the St. John\u2019s Episcopal Church\u2019s consignment shop located at 4504 Walsh St. There was some discussion about the fact that the profits from this shop belong to the church. There was some discussion that Section 5 would be supporting a religious organization if it placed the flyer in the newsletter. It was mentioned that notices about A Wider Circle, a charitable organization, are placed in Section 5\u2019s newsletter; however, all the profits from A Wider Circle go back into that organization.\nThe Council decided to place a one-time notice in the Section 5 newsletter about the St. John\u2019s Consignment Shop noting that the profits go to the church.\nMontgomery County Park and Planning had a meeting last week at which time it accepted opinions both for and against the division of the property at 7111 Brookville Rd. into two building lots. Section 5\u2019s Council had previously decided not to oppose this division.\nA new resident on Thornapple St. has contacted the manager about having Section 5 help with her back yard water problems. The resident has a sump pump which pumps water onto the back yard and causes a swamp-like condition. The resident asked the manager if she could channel the outflow from the sump pump into Section 5\u2019s gutter. The manager explained to the resident that Section 5 could not allow her to connect a pipe from her sump pump into the public gutter because this water could freeze in the winter and cause a hazard. The County has contacted the resident and said that the County will connect her sump pump drain to the County storm drain system some time in July.\nA resident has asked the County and received permission to change his address from 7405 Connecticut Ave. to 3826 Woodbine St. This resident has applied for a permit to demolish his house and garage and will have his new house face Woodbine St.\nA resident on Underwood St. has removed her driveway apron which belongs to Section 5 and installed a new driveway apron. The manager has telephoned and emailed the resident that she has destroyed Section 5 property. The manager will report to the Council about the resolution of this problem at the April Council meeting.\nChris adjourned the meeting. The next Council meeting will be held Tuesday, April 8, 2014, at the Village Hall, 5906 Connecticut Ave., at 7:30 PM. The Village Hall has handicapped access. Everyone is welcome.",

        "raw_content": "Amazon.com Review: The result of months of intensive investigations and inquiries by a specially appointed bipartisan panel, The 9/11 Commission Report is one of the most important historical documents of the modern era. And while that fact alone makes it worth owning, it is also a chilling and valuable piece of nonfiction: a comprehensive and alarming look at one of the biggest intelligence failures in history and the events that led up to it. The commission traces the roots of al-Qaeda\u2019s strategies along with the emergence of the 19 hijackers and how they entered the United States and boarded airplanes. It details the missed opportunities of law enforcement officials to avert disaster. Using transcripts of cockpit voice recordings, the report describes events on board the planes along with the chaotic reaction on the ground from nearly every level of government. Going forward, the commission calls for a comprehensive overhaul of what it sees as a deeply flawed and disjointed intelligence-gathering operation. The creation of a post for a single National Security Director is recommended, along with the creation of a National Counterterrorism Center. The report finds fault with the approaches of both the Clinton and Bush administrations but, because they were a bipartisan panel and the problems described are so systemic and far-reaching, they stop short of assigning blame to any particular person or group. Credit must be given to how readable the report is. At more than 500 pages, the writing is clear and forceful and the information is made more accessible since it is fre from election politics and rancor. While the commission notes that future attacks are probably inevitable, a coordinated preventive effort along with a clear plan to respond with efficiency can offer Americans some hope in a post-9/11 world. \u2014John Moe\nFrom Publishers Weekly: With a grave resolve that perfectly balances the enormous stakes with the necessity of delving into minutiae, this historic book describes the mechanics of the horrific attacks on the United States and recommends measures for preventing further strikes. Without trivializing any of the events or diminishing the people involved, it reads like a Shakespearean drama. The authors, with grim but charged dispassion, unspool paragraph after paragraph dramatizing the arrival of \u201cmuscle hijackers\u201d (as opposed to pilots), the thinking of CIA director George Tenet (regularly referred to, along with most other players here, simply by last name) and plot co-coordinator Khalid Sheikh Mohammad (\u201cKSM\u201d) among thousands of others, and the other ways and means by which a \u201cforeign\u201d incursion caused catastrophic domestic damage. Distilling an enormous amount of information in plain language, with unerring pitch and a perfect feel for when to gloss (\u201cDubai, a modern city with easy access to a major airport\u2026\u201d), the book\u2019s implied narrator sticks as close as possible to how real people made real decisions, and, when stymied in considering a factor or set of factors, is willing to say so. In so doing, this multi-author document produces an absolutely compelling narrative intelligence, one with clarity, a sense of shared mission and an overriding desire to do something about the situation. At the same time, with quotational chapter headings like \u201c \u2018We Have Some Planes\u2019 \u201d and \u201c \u2018The System Was Blinking Red,\u2019 \u201d the authors never forget that they are communicating in a medium that has a lot of stylistic resources for holding one\u2019s attention; they draw liberally on the most tried and true. Given what hangs in the balance, it is not a stretch to compare this document to The Federalist Papers, in the sense that the book is designed to foster the debate by which the country will reimagine itself through its bureaucracy.",

Watching the video footage that serves as the backdrop to the band's stage setup as they arrive for what is due to be their final ever appearance in London, you can't help but wonder that perhaps there's more to it than simply setting off into the sunset with old Dubya. Ministry have, after all, vividly soundtracked the zeitgeist to multiple eras, going all the way back to the crass consumerism of the Eighties and, truth be told, the world needs a band who can seamlessly meld together a social and politically conscious message with massive entertainment value now more than it ever has. So perhaps it's possible that Al Jourgenson has simply given up in the face of it all. I certainly wouldn't blame him.\nHypothetical musings aside, tonight also bears particular personal significance for this writer. Like some who may be reading this, Ministry played a crucial role in my musical coming of age, and I have no qualms in naming to them as a serious contender among my all-time favourites. It makes snoring my way through a support act as thoroughly atrocious as Pythia that much harder to stomach. There are times when I'd love to simply label a band as shit, and be done with it. But these goth metal buffoons warrant additional scorn for having the most annoying frontwoman in Emily Ovenden that I have witnessed since I suffered through a Queen Adreena set. What exactly made the promoters decide that these hacks were an ideal way to warm up the obviously partisan crowd is anybody's guess, but it stings just a little to think that Stateside the audience got their evening started with Meshuggah. For the most part Pythia sound like a poor man's Nightwish, albeit with a drummer who knows his way around a double bass pedal. They indulge in every tired clich\u00e9 of a subgenre that long ago ran out of good ideas, and when they bow out, there's a virtually unanimous sigh of relief that washes over the cavernous confines of the Forum.\nWe all know that Jourgenson has a sense of humour, and it seems almost typical that he'd choose to start the evening by teasing us by using a track off the upcoming Revolting Cocks disc as an intro tape. Subtly titled \"I'm Not Gay\", it reeks of vintage RevCo far more than anything on 2006's _Cocked & Loaded_ ever did, and if the rest of _Sexo Olympico_ is anything like this, you're looking at a candidate for my top 10 this year. When the lads take to the stage, the roar of approval from the punters is deafening. They launch into \"Let's Go\" off their swansong, _The Last Sucker_, and before we're able to catch our breath, we're hit with an additional one-two combination of \"The Dick Song\" and \"Watch Yourself\".\nSticking to post-2000 material, they spend the better part of the next hour regaling us with the likes of \"No W\", \"Waiting\", \"Worthless\", \"Rio Grande Blood\", \"Senor Peligro\", and \"Lieslieslies\". The first half of the performance comes to a haunting close with a skull-crushing rendition of \"Khyber Pass\", and it's here where we're reminded once again just how phenomenal a performer Jourgenson is.\nWasting little time stepping out for the first encore, Ministry tear the house down with \"So What?\". Clearly a tune that the assembled throng have been aching to hear their response borders on a full-scale riot, and they only grow more rowdy when \"NWO\", \"Just One Fix\" and \"Thieves\" round out the salvo of classics. The band's delivery is devastatingly on form, and though Jourgenson's banter is kept to a minimum, when he does open his mouth all in attendance hang on to his every word.\nBy the time proceedings start grinding to a halt with covers of ZZ Top's \"Just Got Paid\" and The Doors' \"Roadhouse Blues\", there's not much more to be said about Ministry and the legacy that they're going to leave behind; the band delivered their own eulogy with one of the finest gigs I have witnessed in seven years in the capital. All I can say is thanks for the music and the good memories, Al. You are going to be very sorely missed indeed.",

        "raw_content": "Issue 21Issues August 5, 2016 - No comments\nMost Tuesdays and Thursdays, every season, at the W.I.S.H. centre, you\u2019ll find 3 courts loaded with Pickleball\u00ae players, and players on the sidelines waiting for their turn on the court. It\u2019s a game that is quickly growing extremely popular with the baby boomers of today (ages 52 \u2013 70), those fully retired, and those who are able to sneak away from work for a couple of hours once or twice a week to get in a game. But it actually doesn\u2019t stop there\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026it\u2019s a great game that can be played by the entire family.\nPickleball\u00ae is actually a paddle sport that combines the fundamentals of badminton, tennis, and ping pong. You can play singles, but doubles is more the norm. Each player has a solid paddle and the object is to knock the ball (made of polymer) over a net. The dimensions of the court are that of a badminton court, with the net and rules similar to tennis (with a few alterations.) The game was invented in the mid 60\u2019s as a pastime for children but today seems to be one of the most popular growing games for our baby boomers and beyond.\nFor a wonderful example, Harvey Nicholson (pictured here and on the cover) will be celebrating his 90th Birthday on September 6, 2016 and has been playing the game for close to ten years now. When we asked Harvey, \u201cWhy Pickleball\u00ae?\u201d here is what he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to spend time, and as a Senior I have the time during the day to come out and play. It\u2019s a lot of fun and great exercise. My whole family is involved with the game. My daughter, Nancy, and I play often together and my sons also play in St. Thomas and in Windsor. Pickle ball\u00ae games are held on courts both inside and outside. Outside games are a totally different feel; the elements can sometimes help or hinder your game. The best thing of all about Pickleball\u00ae is the exercise it gives me to keep me feeling young, and the friendships I\u2019m making along the way. \u201d\nAnd where did the name Pickleball\u00aecome from? Some sources say it was named after one of the founders dogs \u201cPickles\u2026\u201d\nAnother source claims \u201cPickles\u201d was named after the game? Either way \u201cPickles\u201d was a part of the family then and Pickleball\u00ae can be enjoyed by the entire family today!\nwww.facebook.com/ckpickleball\nwww.ckpickleball.com\nUnderstanding Your Options \u2013 Tips to Help You Choose Where to Call Home",

        "raw_content": "The Number of Education Majors is Falling\nIn most states in the United States, a person must have a degree in education in order to be a teacher. At one time, roughly 20 percent of those in college were education majors. The number of education majors has fallen since the 1980s, and now the number of education majors in college is only around ten percent. The decline is only expected to continue. The number of current college freshmen who plan to be education majors is at the lowest point since records have been kept.\nRight now, there is a teacher shortage in many states. This is especially true in the areas of science and math. Several states are trying to pass legislation that will mandate smaller class sizes. If these laws go into effect, many more teachers will be needed.\nIn order to combat the teacher shortage and the lack of education majors, a few states are changing the requirements needed to become a teacher. States have experimented with letting those with a master\u2019s degree in a field of study become teachers without a teaching degree. Other states are allowing students to have only a minor in education to receive a teaching credential.\nThere are several factors at play that may be leading to the decline in those majoring in education. Teaching is not one of the more high paying professions, so students are majoring in fields that are more financially lucrative. Many do not want to deal with the demands that are placed on teachers. With an emphasis on testing, some students don\u2019t want to go into the field thinking that all they will be doing is teaching a test.\n\u2190 Quality Values of an Entrepreneur as Applied by Michael Hagele\nDallas Business Owner and Philanthropist \u2192",

REUTERS/Samrang Pring\nBetween 2000 and 2014, about 770,000 Cambodians were affected by land conflicts\nBANGKOK, Jan 31 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Cambodian authorities have ordered an investigation into violent clashes over a land dispute in which a protester was shot, after a video clip of the incident sparked outrage on social media.\nA man was shot and a 10-year-old boy injured in the clash last week between nearly 300 villagers and 200 policemen in Preah Sihanouk province in the country's south.\nAt the time, local authorities said the protesters were outsiders who were not residents of the village, and that the protesters were responsible for the shooting.\nA video clip that surfaced a few days later showed a provincial military police officer beating a protester with an assault rifle, and another kicking the head of a man who lay on the ground with his hands tied.\nThis week, Sao Sokha, commander of the National Military Police, said a team had been set up to investigate the incident.\n\"If we find that the provincial military police officials used excessive force, then they would be punished according to the law,\" he told reporters.\nAn activist in Phnom Penh said that while violent protests were common, police investigations such as this were rare, and might have been sparked by outrage over the video clip.\n\"This is about the use of excessive force, so the investigation may be the government's way of showing they are taking this seriously,\" said Sopheap Chak, executive director of advocacy group the Cambodian Center for Human Rights.\n\"But we have to wait and see if there will be a fair investigation, and whether there will be justice for the victims,\" she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation on Thursday.\nThe long-running dispute in Koki village is over land claimed by several families.\nAuthorities said dozens of families with no legal right to the land had refused to move from their homes, even after the Supreme Court in 2017 ruled the land belonged to nine families.\nLast week, matters came to a head as authorities tried to enter the disputed area. Villagers blocked the road with burning tyres, and hurled rocks and petrol bombs at the police, according to local reports.\nThe impoverished Southeast Asian country has been riven with conflict over land since the Khmer Rouge destroyed the nation's property records to establish a form of communism in the 1970s.\nBetween 2000 and 2014, about 770,000 Cambodians - more than 6 percent of the population - were affected by land conflicts, according to human rights lawyers who filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court in 2014.

        "title": "Year Of Code & The Myth Of The Programmer Shortage - Software People Inspiring",
        "raw_content": "Year Of Code & The Myth Of The Programmer Shortage\n2014 is the UK government's Year Of Code.\nWith a stated aim to get millions of people \"coding\" (whatever that is) this year, it's an initiative being championed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne.\nI help clients to recruit software developers, and I know that for every role that involves programming, you may get hundreds of applicants.\nOf those hundreds of applicants, perhaps a dozen will be worth interviewing. Of those dozen, perhaps just one or two will actually be what enlightened employers consider to be good enough to let loose on their critical business systems and software products.\nWhile there may not be a shortage of programmers, there's most definitely a chronic shortage of good software developers. That's something that didn't seem to cross anyone's mind - that there's much more to it than just programming, for a start, and that it takes years to develop the skills and knowledge needed to build good, valuable, reliable, maintanable, secure, scalable software.\nFrom what I've observed, what holds businesses back is not the availability of developers to write new software, but the ability of developers to evolve and adapt existing software to keep pace with the competition. Hiring shitty programmers is a false economy. Most developers are working on legacy code that was - in many cases - written badly by bad programmers. I've watched \u00a3billion businesses sunk by their inability to maintain the pace of IT innovation.\nAnd I've also observed that most development team are overstaffed, and that a majority of software projects fail to deliver any real value at all. Hiring smaller teams of more skilled people to focus on projects and products that have a real point to them - you know, proper actual business goals - who write code that is easier to change and costs less to support and maintain, would quite probably lead to a smaller, leaner profession that makes a more positive impact on UK plc.\nWhen the market is flooded with not-competent programmers, and recruitment is handled by people who can't tell the difference (and, let's face it, simply don't care in many cases, just as long as the price is right), it gets even harder to find the good ones.\nYear of Code smacks of another gold rush, built on the myth that Britain needs millions of programmers, and promoted by people who evidently haven't the faintest idea what a software developer does.\nCheck out this interview with the executive director of Year Of Code on BBC's Newsnight. It starts badly (with Jeremy Paxman referring to programming as \"keyboard skills\"), and goes downhill from there. \"This gobbledygook...\" etc etc.\nUnderlying Year Of Code is another, much more dangerous myth: that \"coding\" can be learned in a day - or even an hour.\nI really struggle with this. Non-technical folk going on these \"Learn To Code In A Day\" courses think I'm making it up when I tell them that you really can't learn to program to any level of proficiency in just a few hours.\nProgramming - let alone software development - is being devalued as a skill by this repeated mantra that it's that easy to master. It creates very unrealistic expectations among the learners, who either become crushingly disappointed that they're not grokking it by tea time and lose patience (and learning to program takles a lot of patience), or walk away with a highly inflated sense of their achievement on the day and simply will not be told otherwise.\nI've also seen at least 40 examples of people walking away from learning to program when it became apparant that it was going to take many hours over weeks and months to get to a working knowledge of just one programming language.\nI view the unconscious incompetents as the most dangerous. Indeed, they now appear to be in charge.\nBy the bye, with so little money being invested (\u00a3500,000 to train thousands of teachers?!) and with the whole thing being underpinned by dangerous myths, Year Of Code has already attracted skepticism and some derision from that now quite marginalised group of people who actually know what they're talking about.\nNow, don't get me wrong. I'm all for kids learning to program, and Mr Osborne should be commended for being on board with that. But after the very, very basics have been taught, where do they go next? how will barely competent teachers provide support to the few kids who really get it? What happens to all that potential if everyone they look to for guidance is stuck at \"hello, world!\"?\nAnd programming should be FUN! I believe it's a very grave mistake to introduce programming and computer science as academic subjects to children as young as five. Let the kids play and explore. If they discover they enjoy it, and have an aptitude for it, there'll be plenty of time for Big O notation later in their education when they've been given the choice to dig deeper. Speaking for myself, CS lessons at age 5 might have put me off programming for life. I learned to program by myself in my own time because I wanted to.\nBetween me as a software professional today and my first ever \"Hello, world!\" 30+ years ago has been a long, long journey of everyday practice, reading, conferences, more reading, experimentation and yet more reading - thousands upon thousands of hours to get me to the point where I'm just beginning to feel like I'm getting the hang of it.\nIf we're to succeed at growing a new generation of good software developers who create real value, then how we set our expectations will be crucial. It does not serve us well to treat this is a problem that can be solved with half a million quid (that works out at about \u00a33 per teacher, by the way) and one day's training.\nImagine we had a shortage of pianists, and Year Of Piano was the proposed solution: \u00a3500,000 to train 100,000+ piano teachers - people would naturally call it absurd. You can't learn the piano in a day, certainly not well enough to teach it. Why on earth would anyone believe programming is orders of magnitude easier?\nBut at the end of it, will our chronic shortage of good software developers be solved? My fear is that, as with previous gold rushes, it will just make them even harder to find.\nPosted 5 years, 5 months ago on February 7, 2014",

        "raw_content": "The Skylanders animated TV show called \u2018Skylanders Academy\u2018 is coming to Netflix in the Fall 2016 with 13 episodes for season one and then season two will launch late in 2017. From what we can tell by the plot and images it appears as if we\u2019re going to see a slightly \u2018younger\u2019 group of Skylanders with regulars like Spyro, Stealth Elf, Eruptor, Eon, Glumshanks and Kaos.\nThe Skylanders Academy show follows the adventures of the Skylanders team and their unique elemental skills and personalities protecting Skylands and setting aside their egos to learn how to trust each other. Thus far Netflix has done a fantastic job with original animated shows like Voltron Legendary Defender and How To Train Your Dragon so it\u2019s safe to assume that Skylanders Academy is in good hands.\nHere\u2019s a full list of voice actors involved in Skylanders Academy that we know of thus far: Justin Long (Spryo), Ashley Tisdale (Stealth Elf), Jonathan Banks (Eruptor) and Norm MacDonald (Glumshanks). Additional voice talent includes The Diamond Minecart, Susan Sarandon, Daniel Wu, Parker Posey, James Hetfield, Catherine O\u2019Hara, Bobcat Goldthwait, Chris Diamantopoulos, Jonny Rees, Harland Williams, and Richard Horvitz (Kaos).\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3LR9dKWbBA",

        "raw_content": "Germany Looks to Removing Subsidies for Energy Projects\nNASDAQ has an article on some of the latest events in Germany which are pulling it away from feed-in tariffs (FIT) in a push towards mechanisms with a market function (such as renewable energy certificates - REC).\nGermany Rejects Subsidies for Energy Projects, Says Market Can Provide:\nBERLIN--Germany's economy minister and environment minister Tuesday rejected demands for more state subsidies for the construction of new power plants and grid expansion in Germany.\n\"The market alone is best suited to handle a task of that size,\" Energy Minister Philipp Roesler said during an energy conference in Berlin.\nThe ministers are developing a framework to promote alternative energy without relying on government subsidies.\n\"We have to combine both, an understanding for markets and political responsibility,\" said Environment Minister Peter Altmaier, a senior ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel, who took over at the ministry last week.\nThe entire article can be read at the NASDAQ site:\nThe German Energy Blog has a related post noting:\nThe former Liberal Economics Minister Rainer Br\u00fcderle and the President of the Monopolies Commission Justus Haucap have warned of the high energy costs caused by fixed feed-in tariffs paid for renewable energy pursuant to the German Renewable Sources Act (EEG). They suggested a system change towards a more market-oriented support system.\nFor two impressive older documents with the economic principles involved in the increasingly active debate on government policies in the electricity sector, I'd suggest German Council of Economic Experts \u2013 Annual Report 2011/12, and Statkraft's \"Postition on Capacity Markets for the German Power Market\"\nFrom the German Council of Economic Experts Annual Report:\nThe main problem of the Renewable Energies Act is thus the costs associated with its (apparent) success. It has proved to be very effective in fostering extra capacity, but is at the same time extremely inefficient. In particular, the 20-year guaranteed minimum remuneration period at the prices valid at the time of constructing the renewables plant means that the renewables structure currently in place will continue to involve very high payment obligations for a lengthy period. Hence it would be impossible to lower the costs of the Renewable Energies Act in the foreseeable future even if the promotion of newly installed plant were to be ended immediately. This is because an immediate stop to the renewables expansion programme would merely reduce the volume of promotion over time only in so far as a plant that has been producing electricity for 20 years reaches the end of the promotion entitlement term. In this way additional costs had already been incurred by the year 2010 vis-\u00e0-vis expected future electricity prices amounting to a present value of over 80 billion euro.\nFrom \"Statkraft\":\n...Capacity mechanisms might easily distort the market, might lead to over investments or inefficient investments and can for example block a market driven development of demand side participation. ... Further improvements in the functioning of the power market in the longer term can be found in a gradual redesign towards a more market based support scheme for renewables (to allow for a more market based dispatch and reduction of generation in case of over-supply and security problems)",

        "title": "Combustible Celluloid Interview: Dennis Farina",
        "raw_content": "Interview with Dennis Farina\nMarch 28, 2002 \u2014 Character actor Dennis Farina has a way of expressing disgust that feels like magic. In his new movie, Barry Sonnenfeld's Big Trouble, he plays a hitman who takes on a job in Florida. As soon as he steps off the bus, his distaste for the sunshine state becomes apparent in a colorfully delivered line.\nPart of the delivery comes from Farina's naturally grown Chicago accent -- part nasal, part attitude. All he has to do is glare and bark out, \"I hate f---ing Florida.\" We laugh because Farina basically snarled the same line about England in Snatch and about Los Angeles in Get Shorty.\n\"I'm running out of states!\" Farina frets during a recent visit to the Bay Area. \"San Francisco and Chicago are the only places where I'm still welcome.\"\nIt's because of this that Farina has become a true character actor -- just like that guy with the frog-voice in My Man Godfrey or that other guy with the attitude in Johnny Guitar, you know the guy.\nIn other words, Farina is a familiar face but not so much a familiar name.\nFarina claims he was in the right place at the right time when he made the jump into acting. He had served 20 years as a police officer in Chicago, working in a special unit that dealt with sophisticated burglars and stickup men, car thieves and jewel thieves.\nAccording to Farina, A friend and retired police sergeant named Chuck Adamson met director Michael Mann at the Tropicana hotel in Vegas where Mann was shooting the 1978 TV series \"Vega$.\" Mann told Adamson about a book he was hoping to make into a movie, called \"The Home Invaders.\" Adamson informed him that he had arrested the man that the book was about. And so Mann hired Adamson to be a consultant on what was to become Thief (1981), starring James Caan.\nMeanwhile, Adamson introduced Mann to Farina and a short time later, Farina had his first movie role.\nFarina went on to work with Mann several more times, in episodes of \"Miami Vice,\" in Mann's great 1986 film Manhunter, and as the star of the cult TV series \"Crime Story.\" Soon after, a career was born. \"I blame everything on Michael Mann,\" Farina says.\nFarina says his co-workers on the force -- all retired now -- are his biggest fans and harshest critics. \"They gave me a hard time when I was a policeman, and I loved it. They were and they still are very big supporters of mine. They come to all the movies and watch the TV stuff. And they're the critics that I really pay attention to. They'll call up and say, 'boy did you stink in that!'\"\nFarina says he considered writing screenplays based on some of his more exciting police cases. \"When I'm writing it, I think, 'This sounds great!\" he says. \"But two days later I would revisit it and say, 'Jesus Christ! Who wrote this crap?'\"\nHe continues: \"Michael Mann taught me, 'Just remember one thing -- you're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. We're just trying to make a movie here.'\"\nFarina seems to have never considered the idea of being a character actor and he's flattered at comparisons to some of the old guys, especially in Westerns. \"We would go to the movies as kids, like a John Wayne movie, and say, 'Oh boy, Walter Brennan's in this movie.' It was like a bonus.\" Farina says he would love most of all to do a western \"like the kind John Ford made. There are very few people today who can make them. They're very hard to make.\"\nWesterns aside, Farina has made a mark as a kind of tough guy -- an Elmore Leonard kind of guy -- sometimes smart, sometimes dim, but never timid. Big Trouble is the latest example of this.\n\"Know what's funny about this movie?\" he asks, laughing. \"The cast is huge, but I never saw any of them, except Jack Kehler, who plays my partner. It was just Jack and I and a lot of the movie is from our point of view -- things are being revealed as we see them. I saw Tim Allen once, in the makeup chair. He said, 'Hey, I heard we're in a movie together.'\"\nThe rest of the cast includes Rene Russo, Zooey Deschanel, Omar Epps, Ben Foster, Janeane Garofalo, Jason Lee, Tom Sizemore, Patrick Warburton and Stanley Tucci, with whom Farina has made a few movies.\n\"All the movies Stanley Tucci and I have made together, we've never had a scene together,\" Farina says with a trace of irony. \"But we've had a lot of great meals together!\"\nBig Trouble made the news last year when it was pulled from distribution just after 9/11. It's a rambunctious, high-speed comedy (85 minutes long) that culminates in a scene with a bomb on board a plane.\n\"I absolutely agreed with the postponement,\" Farina says. \"And now I think it's time for the movie to come out and any other movies that wanna come out.\"\nHappily, nothing in the movie was altered or cut. \"I don't know that we should change things. What happened was beyond horrible and everybody knows that. But things happen and we just have to go on. Otherwise, they win. If we keep monitoring ourselves and censoring ourselves and being too sensitive to this and too sensitive to that and you can't do anything!\"\nGetting back to Farina's on-screen disgust, he says it was easy this time. \"We were shooting this movie in July and August in Florida. So Barry would say, 'look frustrated and disgusted.' And I'm walking around all day looking like that.\"\nIn addition, Farina drove a rental car with a faulty seatbelt. \"They found this car with the seatbelt that strangles you. It decapitates you. There was something else wrong with the car, and the transportation guys would want to come over and fix it. And I said, 'don't fix it. Never mind. Leave it alone, the more aggravation he has with this car, the better.\" he laughs.\nHe pulls himself together sighs and shakes his head, a man with his two feet on the ground. \"We had fun. It was fun.\"\nCrime Story (1986, TV)\nEmpire Falls (2005, TV)",

        "raw_content": "Mutual Fund Investor Tax Relief Bill Introduced in House\nWashington, DC, May 11, 2005 - On May 5, Representatives Paul Ryan (R-WI) and William Jefferson (D-LA) introduced H.R. 2121, the Generating Retirement Ownership Through Long-Term Holding (GROWTH) Act of 2005. The legislation, which is strongly supported by the Institute, would provide tax relief for millions of Americans investing in mutual funds for long-term goals such as retirement.\nUnder present law, mutual funds are required to distribute each year their net capital gains. Investors with taxable accounts are required to pay taxes on these capital gains distributions even though they typically choose to have these distributions automatically reinvested in the fund and take no action to realize these gains.\nThe GROWTH Act would allow mutual fund investors to defer the tax on all reinvested capital gains distributions until the shares are redeemed. This is consistent with the popular understanding that capital gains taxes are not due until you sell the investment. This is the way an investor who holds stock directly is taxed.\nThe Institute has long supported legislation that would allow mutual fund investors to defer the tax on reinvested capital gains, believing that such measures will advance the long-term savings and investment goals of Americans by allowing those savings to grow more rapidly and bolstering economic growth.\nIn a speech before the Institute\u2019s 2005 General Membership Meeting, ICI President Paul Schott Stevens called the GROWTH Act \u201c\u2026one of the best ideas to come forward\u2026. It would help smooth the path to long-term financial security for millions of Americans.\u201d\n\u201cRight now, long-term capital gains distributed among mutual fund investors in taxable accounts are taxed every year \u2013 even if they are automatically reinvested,\u201d said Stevens. \u201cThe GROWTH Act would defer taxation until fund shares are sold. That keeps more retirement savings invested longer and growing longer by taxing income when it\u2019s withdrawn, not savings while they are being built up.\u201d\nIn addition to the links below, a section of this website is devoted to tax issues impacting mutual funds and their shareholders.\nFunding Our Future: Ensuring a Strong Public and Private Retirement System (speech), May 2005\nICI Outlines Measures to Simplify, Improve Tax Code in Statement to President's Tax Reform Panel, March 2005\nBill to Help Mutual Fund Investors Earns Strong ICI Endorsement, May 2003",

It seems to me that although possibilities are extended as models become more elaborate, this is only the case if teacher/researchers remain cognisant of a radical constructivist perspective. I also suggest that broad-ranging research on the models affords insight into the \u201cbig\u201d mathematical ideas to which all students should have access.\nDooley T.

Title: \u201cInsulin plus low dose CMF as neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy for breast carcinomas.\u201d A write-up of this talk appeared in the July-August 1991 issue of Oncology News (Vol. 17, No. 4).\nDecember 2, 1991: IND submission to the FDA of a protocol entitled \u201cNeoadjuvant combination chemohormonal therapy for the treatment of breast carcinoma using CMF plus insulin\u201d. The intent of this protocol was to perform a small pilot study using IPT and low dose chemotherapy in the treatment of subjects newly diagnosed with breast cancer (Stages I-IIIB). The Principal Investigator for this study was Ira J. Piel, M.D., F.A.C.P., a medical oncologist hematologist affiliated with the Illinois Masonic Medical Center in Chicago, IL.\nDecember 30, 1991: Submission made to Kay Dickerson, Ph.D., of the Breast Cancer Coalition Research Hearings, requesting time to offer oral testimony at the Hearings on the use of IPT with low dose chemotherapy for the neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer.\nJanuary 24, 1992: Received letter from Charles L. Vogel, M.D., Medical Director, South Florida Comprehensive Cancer Centers, and Moderator of the Clinical Science Session of the Breast Cancer Coalition Research Hearings. Dr. Vogel stated that IPT must still be considered an unorthodox therapy needing scientific corroboration of its effectiveness. I was invited to attend the Research Hearings as an observer. Dr. Vogel also informed me of the NCI\u2019s initiative to evaluate unorthodox or non conventional medical therapies, and referred me to Michael Hawkins, M.D. of the National Cancer Institute\u2019s Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program to discuss the matter further.\nFebruary 5 & 6, 1992: Breast Cancer Coalition Research Hearings held in Washington, D.C. Comments were made about IPT during Session 3 (Clinical Science) mentioning that the therapy was a novel therapeutic idea in need of clinical confirmation. These comments were entered into the written testimony of the Hearings.\nMay 1, 1992: Submission to the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) of a \u201cBest Case Series\u201d of IPT treatment involving a variety of different cancers. The intent of this submission was to introduce the CTEP to the historical context of the practice of IPT abroad, and to demonstrate the kinds of clinical results that have been experienced with this practice over the last several decades\nJuly 20, 1992: Submitted response to FDA\u2019s letter of 1/28/92 that had put the original IPT protocol submission on clinical hold. In this letter of response, the argument in favor of treating women newly diagnosed with breast cancer was pursued further. The minimal risks of the protocol were emphasized as well as the benefit s (breast conservation, quality of life under treatment). It was argued that theoretical arguments against such a program of study would seem less important than practical observations made over several decades of practice with IPT, and that women with newly diagnosed breast cancer should he given the option of breast preserving treatment for their disease.\nApril 23, 1993: Notified by Mary McCabe that CTEP had decided not to proceed with any formal investigation of IPT. (Note: I believe the decision on the part of CTEP here was more of a political one than scientific. CTEP was at that time very much involved with the evaluation of autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) treatment for breast cancer, and didn\u2019t want to take on another therapy for evaluation that would compete with this very expensive and \u201chigh tech\u201d approach to breast cancer treatment.\nAugust 25, 1993: Received a formal written proposal from Dr. Hawkins concerning the animal study, complete with itemized budget for same. Fund raising efforts for this study were begun through a not-for-profit corporation called Medical Renaissance Foundation, an entity that had been established expressly for the purpose of funding IPT related research.\nJanuary 1997: Tony Mastromarino, Ph.D., Director of Scientific Research, Office of the Vice President, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, communicated his interest in IPT to Mary Ann Richardson, Ph.D., from the UT School of Public Health, who is co-PI of the OAM-funded Center for Alternative Research in Cancer there. Dr. Mastromarino had been responsible for the 1989 invitation to the Drs. Perez Garcia and Dr. Ayre to prepare their poster presentation for M.D. Anderson\u2019s Forty second Annual Symposium on Fundamental Cancer Research (see the first entry in this Chronology, page 1).\nSeptember 1997: Protocol for a multi center prospective clinical trial of IPT in the treatment of stage IV cancers of the breast, lung, and ovary submitted to, and approved by, the Institutional Review Board of the Great Lakes College of Clinical Medicine at their fall meeting \u2013 September 16 \u2013 20, 1997, in Pittsburgh, PA.\nApril 1999: Received an invitation from Jeffrey D. White, M.D., Director, Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine to present a Best Case Series on the clinical experience with IPT before the members of the Cancer Advisory Panel of the Center for Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. Collection of case documentation is proceeding, and this presentation has been scheduled for September 18, 2000, in Bethesda, Maryland.\nJune 2000: Poster presentation at the Third Annual Comprehensive Cancer Management Conference in Washington, D.C., June 9 \u2013 11. This conference was jointly sponsored by the Center for Mind Body Medicine, the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, the National Cancer Institute, and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

        "title": "GI Rights Hotline Counselor Profiles | The Civilian Public Service Story",
        "raw_content": "GI Rights Hotline Counselor Profiles\nMore than 20 GI Rights Hotline counselors are scattered throughout the country, taking calls from military personnel and their families. The counselors come from many walks of life. All have received training on military regulations and practices, as well as the art of non-directive counseling. Counselors do not tell callers which course of action they should take, but provide information that helps them better assess the options open to them along with the likely consequences. The profiles below are responses from a few of the Hotline counselors to the question: Why do you do this work?\nTitus Peachey\nLeonore Yeager and Steve Wooford\nBill Galvin, GI Rights Hotline Counselor\nI was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, and others helped me through my application process. So it is good to be able to do the same thing for folks who need it today. It is a good feeling to know that you can make a positive difference in someone\u2019s life.\nI was an activist against the war in Vietnam and in the early 1970s I was in seminary planning to be a minister. I was trained as a draft counselor. Bill Yolton offered me an internship with the Emergency Ministry on Conscience and War of the Presbyterian Church. From that moment on, I knew that this was what I was called to do. I\u2019ve been doing some type of draft or military counseling ever since.\nI view GI Rights counseling as a fundamental justice issue. The military\u2019s job is to fight wars and be prepared to fight wars. It accomplishes its mission through force and violence, or through the threat of force and violence. In many ways, that\u2019s the way it treats its own personnel, and I\u2019m happy to help folks stand up to the bullying. It\u2019s the right thing to do.\nTitus Peachey, GI Rights Hotline Counselor\nI am a counselor on the GI Rights Hotline because I am drawn to the courage and determination of many soldiers who find themselves in difficult circumstances.\nI am a conscientious objector to war and did my alternative service in Vietnam during the war (1970-1973). Through my Vietnamese friends I learned a lot about the tragic impact of war on their lives and on the society as a whole.\nWhen I returned to the US I had several very difficult \"re-entry\" years, and I hadn't endured the dehumanization of combat. So as I learned about the toll that war takes on soldiers, I felt a strong urge to connect.\nAny system, whether religious, political or military can be insensitive to the real needs of the people who work within it. Because of the military\u2019s large bureaucracy, its hierarchical structure and the extreme stress of combat, today\u2019s soldiers and their families often face real challenges to their health and well-being. I welcome the opportunity to provide soldiers the information they need to make decisions that will be in their best long-term interest.\nMaria Santelli: GI Rights Hotline Counselor\nI counsel service members and their families in the name of peace with justice. My experience on the hotline has shown me that the vast majority of folks who enlist in the US Military do so with the most sincere intentions of helping people and serving their country in a good way. Once they get there--for many it happens as early as basic training--they realize that the story they have been told all their lives about what the military is and does is quite different from the reality.\nWhen they make the call to the GI Rights Hotline, I try to provide not only a sympathetic ear, but also meaningful direction to help them make sense of what is happening and how they may remedy it.\nOverwhelmingly, I feel that this is some of the most important work I have ever done. I am privileged to be on the other end of the line from people who are seeking support with some very intense issues.\nGI Rights Hotline counselors have an unparalleled understanding of the circumstances faced by service members in the US Military today. There is no other non-partisan, non-governmental, truly independent body that does the work that we do or has access to the unfiltered information and statistics that we have. We are working to do better in the future at analyzing and sharing the data we compile in the hopes that, if the people of United States deeply understand what life is like for service members in the US Military, they will stand up and demand justice.\nLeonore Yeager and Steve Wooford, GI Rights Hotline Counselors\nWe have come to realize that the GI's in the US are themselves victims of our heavily militarized culture. They are not victims in the same way as someone in a foreign land, who has bombs dropped on their home. Nevertheless the individual GI's pay a high price in terms of the burden they bear, the injuries (physical, mental, and moral) they suffer, the toll on their families and futures. Some lose their lives and many even choose to take their own lives. The average GI does not set the policies for war and many question the worth of different missions.\nSome contact us for help with specific issues like conscientious objection, family hardship, untreated medical issues, and clear grievances with the military. Others are looking for any reason that might get them out of a military obligation that they know they don't belong in. We feel that it is especially important that trustworthy expert help be available to the people who are being unfairly ground up in the military system. We know that the military does not provide that help. The individual stories of the GIs we help, as they struggle to reclaim their humanity from the overwhelming military machine, is what most motivates us to keep doing this work.",

David\nFans hoping for a little more Mulder and Scully to go along with the recent TV return are in luck. Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny lead a laundry list of X-Files cast members who are lending their voices to a brand new audio book.\nDavid Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return to their iconic roles for a new audiobook. Image: Fox\nThe book is called X-Files: Cold Cases, and it's based on graphic novels by Joe Harris and Chris Carter. Taking place after the last movie but before the new TV show, Cold Cases will also feature the voices of Mitch Pileggi as FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner; William B. Davis as the Cigarette Smoking Man; and Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund and Bruce Harwood as the Lone Gunmen.\nSo what's it about? Here's what the official press release has to say:\nSet after the events of The X-Files: I Want to Believe and providing additional backstory to the incidents that pulled Mulder and Scully out of reclusion prior to 2016's miniseries revival, a database breach at FBI headquarters allows an unknown group to access and capitalise on those investigations left unsolved - dubbed cold cases - by the secret department once known as The X-Files. As friends and foes of the agency long thought gone begin to inexplicably reappear, former agents Mulder and Scully come out of anonymity to face a growing conspiracy that involves not only their former department but the US government and forces not of this world.\nThe book comes to Audible on July 18 but is up for preorder now at this link.

        "raw_content": "Britain sees world-beating growth in artificial intelligence jobs\nThe UK\u2019s artificial intelligence sector is growing faster than rivals in America, Canada and Australia - putting Britain on course to be the global leader in AI technology. That\u2019s the finding of new data released by Indeed.\nAI technologies require highly skilled workers who can develop and maintain complex systems and applications. In the last three years, demand from UK employers for these types of workers has almost tripled, according to Indeed\u2019s data.\nRoles typically include data scientists and machine learning engineers, specialists who play a crucial part in teaching machines how to use and interpret data.\nMillions of us interact with AI on a daily basis, often without realising. Smart home devices like the Amazon Echo, or cutting edge tech such as facial recognition software and driverless cars, are some of the more obvious examples of AI in use.\nAI jobs also pay well above the UK average salary, with data scientists typically taking home \u00a356,385 a year and machine learning engineers earning an average of \u00a354,617 a year1.\nDespite the financial rewards on offer, there is still a challenge to find the talent. Indeed researchers found that the share of available AI jobs in Britain outstripped the share of interested candidates by 6 times. The number of UK jobseekers looking for AI roles has doubled since 2015, but it\u2019s still struggling to keep up with demand from employers.\nThanks to its booming tech sector, the UK has a higher concentration of available AI jobs than the United States, Canada and Australia. At the start of 2018, 1,300 out of every million UK jobs advertised on Indeed were in AI, nearly double the level in Canada and over 20% more than the level in the US.\nTable: AI jobs posted on Indeed between 2015 and 2018\nTara Sinclair, economist and senior fellow at Indeed, commented: \u201cFrom both a jobs and a society perspective, AI is a technology that has the potential to be truly transformative. While the jury is still out on how many existing roles could be made redundant as AI becomes more widespread, or whether its potential for job creation outweighs any losses, in the short-term AI is providing a shot in the arm to Britain\u2019s jobs market.\n\u201cA number of companies are exploring how AI might be used to boost their bottom line, while also holding out the prospect of previously undreamt of technology that could one day excite and delight millions of people.\n\u201cBritain\u2019s reputation as a tech leader has made it a natural home for the booming AI sector, and the UK\u2019s concentration of AI jobs has risen steadily - and now outstrips that in the other major English-speaking countries.\n\u201cAI jobs are not for everyone, as they require highly specialised skills. So it\u2019s essential that post-Brexit Britain retains the ability to attract the global talent it needs to keep its AI sector in pole position.\u201d\n1 Average salaries sourced on Indeed on 09/03/2018\nThis analysis is based on job postings featuring the keywords: Artificial Intelligence and/or Machine Learning.",

        "raw_content": "Central Bank of Cura\u00e7ao and St. Maarten: Counterfeit banknote features\nWILLEMSTAD - In addition to our previously issued press release (2018-032), the Centrale Bank van Cura\u00e7ao en Sint Maarten (CBCS) wants to share the following with the public.\nThe CBCS has found that apart from counterfeit NAf. 100 banknotes, there have also been detected fake NAf. 25 banknotes. After having examined several of these counterfeit banknotes, the CBCS has identified the following range of features:\nAlmost all of the banknotes examined had the same serial number, i.e. 8257613310, while genuine banknotes all have a unique serial number. When accepting more than one banknote, it is advisable to make sure all the notes have a different serial number\nThe counterfeit banknotes were worn - the text on the notes was faint or even partly missing. The print on genuine banknotes (including the legal text) should always be clearly legible. If you are offered a banknote where this is not case, you are advised not to accept that banknote.\nWhile the dominant color of a genuine NAf. 100 banknote is brown, the counterfeit notes had a more pink and greenish color. The front side is imprinted with a pearly ink that gives an iridescent effect. Under angled light a shiny gold-colored pattern becomes visible. When accepting banknotes, always pay attention to the color of the notes. Do not accept banknotes with a color that differs from the usual color or resembles the color of another denomination.\nOn the counterfeit banknotes, the curved line of the pattern that is printed over the gold-foil seal does not connect to the line printed on the \u2018white\u2019 part. This leads to the conclusion that the gold-foil seal was applied to the banknotes afterwards. There have also been detected fake banknotes where the gold-foil is missing, notes where the gold-foil doesn\u2019t shine and notes where the gold-foil appears to be pencil-drawn.\nThe letters N and A on a genuine banknote are perfectly aligned when holding the banknote up to the light. Some, but not all, of the counterfeit banknotes did have the letters aligned.\nThe paper used for the counterfeit banknotes has a different feel than the genuine banknotes\u2019 paper.\nFor some of the counterfeit banknotes, lower banknote denominations were bleached and reprinted with a higher denomination, which implies that the banknotes concerned do have the authentic security features such as the watermark, the pearl-like dots (planchettes) on the back of the banknote and the gold-foil.\nThe CBCS wants to alert the public to pay special attention when accepting banknotes. If in doubt, do not accept the suspect banknote(s).\nYou are reminded that it is illegal for any person and or institution to accept counterfeit banknotes. You are advised to immediately contact the police if you think you\u2019re dealing with a counterfeit banknote. The counterfeiting of banknotes and the fraudulent use of counterfeit means of payment are punishable by imprisonment of up to 9 years.\nCentral Bank of Curacao and St. MaartenCounterfeit banknotesCrime",

        "raw_content": "Legislators led by Neal Tapio protesting sale of STAR Academy\nA group of legislators, led by State Senator Neal Tapio, are apparently protesting the State\u2019s sale of the now closed STAR Academy:\nLawmakers Ask Governor to Delay Public Auction of former Star Academy Property Near Custer\nA group of South Dakota lawmakers is making a last minute call on Governor Dennis Dauggard to postpone the pending public auction of the former Star Academy property near Custer, scheduled for Wednesday at the Custer County Courthouse, saying they don\u2019t believe enough time has been allowed to find the best use for a property that might still serve a valuable future purpose for the citizens of South Dakota.\nThe 180 acre facility was used as a youth boot camp and later a juvenile diversionary program until it closed in the Spring of 2016. In March, state legislators voted to approve a public auction of the site. After an appraisal, a public auction was set for October 18, 2017, at 11:00 am.\nSenators Neal Tapio of Watertown, District 30 Representatives Tim Goodwin, Julie Frye-Mueller and Senator Lance Russell, as well as Senator Phil Jensen of Rapid City are among 30 lawmakers expressing concern about the pending private sale of a property and structural facilities that would cost the state as much as $50-million to replace. Tapio says he and others have repeatedly called for the facility to be repurposed in some way, possibly to deal with the state\u2019s growing methamphetamine and opioid dependence problem, as a potential diversionary life skills training center.\n\u201cPrivatization of unused state assets can be a good idea to exercise fiscal responsibility, but in dealing with this particular site, there may still be a number of functions and needs that might be served by repurposing it for something else.\u201d\nTapio says the expense of dealing with methamphetamine addiction and the burden on the conventional justice system make a diversionary partnership with a private entity a very effective way to save South Dakota taxpayers substantially by giving first time meth convicts another choice. A life skills training center could be a valuable tool for drug courts judges as they confront the meth addiction issue where offenders need to be removed from a toxic home environment.\nCitizens are also concerned that the condensed timeframe of the sale\u2019s schedule left inadequate opportunity for public awareness and may even conceal an unarticulated agenda on the part of potential bidders better acquainted with the mechanics of the process from the outset.\nRepresentative Tim Goodwin of Hill City says he is hearing from people taken completely by surprise about the scheduled public auction who are very concerned about what they see as a rushed process involving a very valuable public asset.\n\u201cA number of my constituents from district 30 have raised concerns that the details of a very short timeframe have allowed an unfair advantage on the part of political insiders in profiting from a glaring example of crony capitalism and incestuous ties between political insiders and business interests,\u201d Goodwin said.\nRepresentative Julie Frye-Mueller, who has opposed the sale from the very beginning says the entire process reeks of strong arm tactics and insider profiteering.\n\u201cWe killed this legislation the first time around voicing these same concerns, but in that process I heard from several lawmakers who told me that they were intimidated and coerced into changing their votes when the measure came up for reconsideration.\u201d\nHouse Bill 1209, the legislative bill structuring the pending public sale was originally defeated by a vote of 36-31, but was approved later on the same legislative day by a vote of 46-21. Governor Dauggard signed the bill on March 13th.\n\u201cLegislators were bullied by the governor\u2019s office into changing their votes, allowing this entire process to move forward over the strong objections of some very conscientious people.\u201d Frye-Mueller said.\nThose favoring a delay of the pending auction say sales of properties of similar value normally require many months of marketing and even national searches to locate interested buyers and to establish best market price.\nSenator Tapio agreed the marketing of the property seemed less than aggressive, \u201cIt seems odd that with millions of tourists visiting the Black Hills each summer, a for sale sign with a contact number would have at least been appropriate.\u201d\nTapio added, \u201cno one knows the proper way to address the meth addiction issue. There are numerous calls to build jails and prisons around the state and it would be a shame if at a later date South Dakota needs a property like this, or if there\u2019s realization that this sale was a terrible idea a few years down the road, reconstructing a similar facility anywhere in the state would cost many multiple times even the appraised value of our existing investment.\u201d Tapio said.\n\u201cIn no world will that be responsible fiscal management of tight budgets and state resources in the face of growing potential needs on a number of fronts.\u201d\nThe Governor\u2019s office has responded in the media:\nIn an emailed press release late Monday night, a group of South Dakota lawmakers asked Gov. Dennis Daugaard to postpone the public auction of a former-juvenile detention center near Custer that is set for 11 a.m. on Wednesday.\nThe press release sent by Sen. Neal Tapio, R-Watertown, said there are 30 lawmakers expressing concern about the pending sale of the former STAR Academy property because of \u201ca very short timeframe,\u201d for the auction.\nTony Venhuizen, Chief of Staff for Gov. Dennis Daugaard, disagreed that the there was a short timeline and said in an email that the state first solicited proposals in Dec. 2016 and the state legislature approved the sale in March. He also noted that the auction date was advertised in the newspaper for the first time on Sept. 11 in accordance with state law.\nIf you look at the legislation which was brought this past session, it\u2019s not as if the vote in the legislature came without some controversy, as it failed in it\u2019s first attempt to come through the State House of Representatives\u2026\n\u2026 and had to try again with a second pass\u2026\n.. flipping Bartling, Brunner, Chase, Clark, Dennert, Duvall, Glanzer, Goodwin, Gosch, Latterell, Herman Otten, Rasmussen, Schaefer, Wiese and Zikmund.\nIn the Senate, it fared better on the first run, but still, it only won on a vote of 20-15:\nI don\u2019t anticipate that the request from legislators are going to sway Governor Daugaard from completing the sale. Despite protests, it\u2019s not like this should come as a shock. It has certainly been known it this was going to happen, having been signed into law on March 27th.\nThe allegations from legislators opposing the sale seem to be coming a bit late, given the fact that this all a done deal seven months ago when the legislation was signed. Where has all the moral outrage been in the meantime?\nMaybe it\u2019s just me, but why would we be protesting the land being returned to the tax rolls? Wouldn\u2019t it be a good thing for someone to develop it into something that pays taxes and reduces the county tax burden?\nThis entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Neal Tapio by Pat Powers.

So, is this the new list of snowflakes?\nI would like to see the list of 30 legislators because you\u2019re not going to convince the governor to change when he sees names like Lance Russel and Julie fry Mueller as key supporters.\nAll Done October 17, 2017 at 4:43 pm\n30 is probably a lot closer to 10 wingnuts\nMr. Tapio is for big government.\nMr. Goodwin is weak-willed and flipped like a pancack because he really doesn\u2019t understand much of what\u2019s happening around him.\nMs. Frey hyphen Mueller is just insaner than most.\nRyan Brunner is a very smart guy. He will make this an incredible victory for SD.\nWhy didn\u2019t these legislators speak out more during session?\nmhs October 18, 2017 at 6:08 am\nApparently the Gear Up story hasn\u2019t got legs anymore so the wingnuts needed to manufacture a new conspiracy theory to peddle.\nI have no position on the sale because I don\u2019t know enough about it.\nBut the $50mm replacement cost argument is stupid. We closed the facility because it\u2019s former use wasn\u2019t needed and nobody has suggested a new use. And, the property is free. So why would we spend $50million to replace it?\nI have two questions. What was the appraisal? Do we have a minimum price to sell? If so, there is no argument on whether they marketed it right. If they don\u2019t get a minimum bid, they remarket a different way. There is no right or best way to maximize price. If there were, there would be only one way to sell real estate. Sometimes trial and error is best.\nThe timing is certainly ideal with where real estate prices and interest rates are.\nA meth treatment center? I\u2019m sure they would love having that in their community. This is not the new Springfield. A college turning into a prison probably sucks for a community. A boot camp turning into housing for meth addicts not so endearing.\nMC October 18, 2017 at 10:41 am\nOn of the great benefits of being a legislator is being provided with abundance of information on just about any topic.\nAt first I was against the sale, because I believe there might be other uses for the land. After that I got more information about the cost to maintain the property. even if it is not being used. The property is too expensive to maintain and the facility is too expensive to replace.\nBeing a tight budget year, we had to cut costs where we could. The STAR Training academy isn\u2019t be used, and is cost the state money just to keep it.",

From the people, to the performances, I could not ask for a better organization to continue dancing in my adult life! Thank you so much to everyone involved that makes this group so special. It truly is the best thing that I have done since moving to Boston 2 years ago!\u0094\n\u2014 Laura Cross\n\u0093When I graduated college, I didn\u2019t know how I was going to keep dancing, in a way that felt as fulfilling as I\u2019d known growing up and through school; all I knew was that I needed to try. DanceWorks Boston is the company I didn\u2019t know to even hope for. It is built on incredible talent, passion, and dedication through a community that values each of its members for the total (all differently wonderful) person. I feel lucky every day that I get to be a part of it.\u0094\n\u2014 Lindsay Kramer\n\u0093When I graduated college five years ago, I assumed my dance career was over. Maybe I\u2019d take a class here and there, yet I figured I had seen the last of my days on stage. But a few weeks later, I received an email from Lisa, and I remember that like it was yesterday. She was a fellow Bostonian who had danced in college and was missing her days of performing, so she was recruiting members for a new company she had recently established. And if I hadn\u2019t answered that email, my life would be completely different today. DanceWorks Boston has given me so much more than the opportunity to dance again. It has introduced me to some of my best friends, connected me with professional opportunities, and most of all, it led me to my husband. I have nothing but gratitude for Lisa and the community she has created, and I will always treasure my DWB memories and family.\u0094\n\u2014 Emily Fanning\n\u0093My first season with Danceworks Boston was amazing!

I just cannot wait until next season!\u0094\n\u2014 Alicia Boucher\n\u2014 Dannea Reali\n\u0093I had no idea what I had been missing until dance was back in my life.

        "raw_content": "Central and South America have long been hotbeds of turmoil. While not quite as chaotic as Central Africa, as impoverished as Southeast Asia, or as embittered as the Middle East, Central and South America are no strangers to conflict and poverty. Since the first westerners set foot in the jungles of the new world, these regions have been treated as pawns and playthings. In this modern world things have changed little. Relations with North America especially have always been tense. The Cuban Missile Crisis, the Drug War, the Panamanian Missile Crisis, these events all boiled over during the early 90's, when the Panamanian Dictator Manuel Noriega, fearful of CIA assassination, and faced with the overthrow of his regime via democratic process, overtook the Panama Canal. This led to the beginning of what is termed as the First Central American Conflict. The mission of retaking Panama quickly turned into full scale conflict and spread to South America as the drug Cartels of Columbia, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Bolivia, and Nicaragua supported Noriega financially and militarily. The drug war the US had been engaging in quietly for years suddenly became an open battle ground.\nThe DEA struck a harsh blow, developing and releasing a genetically engineered bio-plague which specifically attacked the Coca Plant. The initial revenue lost to the cartels was crippling. As drug prices soared and supply dwindled to a trickle, the situation became desperate, the U.S. was forced to engage drug dealers en masse at home, as well as abroad. The drug cartels found support in European funding. The motives for the European backing remain a mystery. The money was traced to a conglomerate of Euro-corps, which were destroyed utterly by American covert operations, the CEO's of these corporations were found dead however, official reports indicate suicide. It has long been believed that the corporations were merely a front for the newly formed EEC, and the entire business was merely a means to overextend American spending and give the US government a black eye. Regardless, as supply of cocaine trickled to nothing, the U.S. seemed finally on the brink of destroying the cocaine trade forever, then the bottom fell out. In retaliation for the CIA assassination of Medellin Cartel leader Pablo Escobar, Medellin terrorists from Columbia smuggled a small, low yield nuclear device into New York, detonating the device in Manhattan at 4:30PM, on Wednesday, December 7th, 1993. This event was the beginning of a domino chain of disasters. Severe drought in the Midwest resulted in another dust bowl situation, the meltdown of a nuclear plant in Pittsburgh, street gangs taking near complete control of Miami, and the final nail in the coffin, the World Stock Market Crash of 1994. All these events led to the near total collapse of the U.S. economy in 1996, and forces American forces to withdraw from all conflict in central and South America. The government, so tangled in the machinations of the Gang of Four (CIA, DEA, FBI, and the NSA) became almost completely ineffective at stemming the rising tide of unemployment, homelessness, and unrest.\nAs the U.S. struggled to regain its feet, the drug cartels wasted no time. European botanists, and genetic engineers were secretly imported and employed by the cartels, and worked quickly to develop new strains of plague resistant Coca plants. These plants, dubbed \"synthcoke\" by American and European media, were cultivated and hit the streets like a bombshell. The rest of the world, reeling from worldwide economic depression was eager for the escape the drugs provided, and the Cartels achieved even greater control of their countries than before.\nThe worldwide economic crash left Europe in nearly as bad a position as the US, and in the later half of the 1990's the EEC suffered its own string of disasters, natural and otherwise. Eastern Europe was hit as well, especially Russia, and russian aid to Cuba came to an end.\nIn the US, the Gang of Four, under investigation, after the deaths of both the President and the Vice president, began a series of operations designed to tie up and confuse resources, in effort to better hide their plots. In the midst of all this, drought again hit the Midwest, causing a fort shortage the likes of which the US had never seen. The US halted all food exportation, eliminating the rest of the worlds food supply by nearly a quarter. The EEC was able to aid eastern Europe, and China supported its allies, but much of the rest of the world was left to fend for themselves. As some states begin seceding from federal resources (which at the time were stretched so thin that it was crippling even the states able to support themselves), the US began taking risks to bolster the economy. Among these risks were a re-organization of the US Military, and the funding for expansion of the Panama Canal.\nWith the economy in the US slowly regaining its footing, the drug market soared. Multi-National corporations descended on South America in greater force than ever. Millions of acres of land in Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, Suriname, and French Guiana were bought or seized by these corporations. Corporate lumber, agriculture, and natural resource operations were largely welcomed by the governments of these countries, which were usually led by puppet rulers paid to look the other way. The rural peoples of these countries were not so pleased.\nThe Gang of Four, in a bold move, and aided by a boost to the economy due to its new position of agricultural dominance caused by the food crash of 2002, convinced the US leaders that invading South America was necessary to again stem the tide of drugs into the US, as well as to further bolster the economy. With the rallying cry of \"REMEMBER MANHATTAN\" the U.S. declared war on Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela in 2003. It became quickly apparent that the US vastly underestimated the renewed strength of the Drug Cartels, who were supplied and backed heavily by European and Russian interests (interests which accused the US of engineering the Food Crash). The war was brutal and US forces were locked in a constant state of conflict. Territory was won, then lost, then regained and lost again in an endless cycle. The war dragged on for 7 years,causing the US to bleed money like a sieve. Finally, almost totally bankrupt, the US was forced to withdraw completely from the region. The financial situation in the US was so bad, and overstretched, that during the withdrawal, the US was forced to abandon thousands of civilian contractors, as well as isolated military personnel too remote to pull out. This tragedy would forever be known as \"The Long Walk\" and was seen as a blow to Morale the US military might never recover from, as these abandoned souls were forced to make their own way back to the states, often on foot. The \"Walkers\" were beset upon by hostile forces almost the entire way home. Of the 500,000 US contractors and soldiers abandoned in South and Central America, only 10% survive the trek home. Ironically, some of the trekkers chose never to return home at all. Jonathan Meta, one of the Army officers left behind, lead a small group of renegades to hijack several tankers and large boats and seized an abandoned oil platform in the gulf of Mexico, declaring themselves a new country under the title of Meta-key. Another group, led by Colonel Jonas Pike assumed complete control of the Panama Canal.\nThe operating procedure of the Multi-national Corporations are almost universally identical. They begin by legally assuming control of a region, and then through a series of forced relocation efforts, move the native populations into corporate controlled complexes (read Labor camps) by promising them gainful employment and all the benefits of western life. This gainful employment (read slave labor) consists of back breaking manual labor, planting and cultivating crops destined to be sold in America, Europe, Japan, Australia, etc... Private farms and local villages are sanitized to make way for the corporate facilities, often by way of Incendigel carpet bombing. The amount of plants and animals driven to extinction from this practice is immeasurable. Local crops, usually consisting of corn, are eliminated to make way for cattle farms, soy fields, and fruit groves. The local work force ends up growing oranges for wealthy Americans and Europeans, orange juice they can not afford themselves. Through corporate savvy, these workers actually end up in debt to the companies they are forced to work for, and their native diets are replaced with cheap soy based meals supplied by the corporations. This allows the corporations to subtly tamper with the locals diet, adding mood stabilizers and mental depressants to keep them copacetic, and getting them addicted to mild stimulants via soft drinks to keep their energy levels up so they can work harder. Bottling factories for most of the worlds soft drinks (Including Chill Cola and ) are located in Central and South America wear business practices and ingredients can be more closely safeguarded. In the fields of the multi-corp agri-farms, pesticides banned in every first world nation are used in abundance, with no concern given to the local population, cancer rates and birth defects soar exponentially, and it is rare to find a field worker over the age of 50. In addition, the crops themselves are often subjected to radiation \"cleansing\", and it is common to see a large van with a small nuclear generator parked next to the other farm machinery, moving the cultivated crops along a conveyor belt and subjecting them to low doses of radiation to increase shelf life. The operators of the machinery wear full rad suits, while the laborers are given nothing. But if a laborer gets sick, he need not fear, Multi-national pharmaceutical companies are present, cultivating natural resources for new drugs, and are more than happy to test experimental pharmaceuticals on the local population. Any civilians who resist the relocation are labelled as subversives, and taken into custody by local governments under the watchful eye of whichever western Military is supporting the local Multi-Nat corporation. Captured subversives are often subjected to torture, rape, and murder. Corporate employed Death Squads are often utilized to weed out potential subversives from the local populace. The definition of subversive activity varies, from open or covert resistance, to activities such as teaching the locals to read, non violent protests, or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.\nNow with corporate greed more influential than ever, and the strangle hold placed on the United States by the ICMF closing the canal to all U.S. inbound and outbound traffic, The United States is once again preparing to invade Panama. With the SAA potentially siding with the ICMF, the possibility of widespread conflict throughout Central and South America is once again threatened. This situation is made even more tense as the SAA is supplied by China and the Neo-Soviets, as well as the EDF. China and Russia even have troops in place in Peru and El Salvador, and the EDF is undergoing a a troop buildup on the strategically important Falkland Islands. Should these forces come into armed contact with the Americans, the entire situation could escalate into a global conflict, taking the fighting from a war in the third world, to a Third World War.\nTHE PREVIOUS CONFLICTS\nAuthors note: I have tried to stay as close and faithful to the sparse information on Central and South America given in the Cyberpunk universe as possible (much of it is contradicting), I have also tried to be respectful to the cultures, religions and peoples, while still attempting to make it a rich and interesting environment. However since I have never been to Latin America I am sure I have gotten some things wrong, and I ask that anyone offended forgive me. Some information may conflict with what is already official, I ask that you use your own judgment in choosing which path to take in resolving such problems. I truly hope you enjoy this.\nThis project was a massive collaboration of the members of the Views From The Edge Cyberpunk 2020 forum, exactly one year in the making.\nDeric \"Wisdom000\" Bernier\nJoe \"Citizen X\" Kleman Mikael Van Atta\nDestecado Bookwyrm\nCernig\nStray Catalyst\nPsychophipps\nG.

        "raw_content": "\u201cI've wondered why it took us so long to catch on. We saw it and yet we didn't see it. Or rather we were trained not to see it. Conned, perhaps, into thinking that the real action was metropolitan and all this was just boring hinterland. It was a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, \u201cGo away, I'm looking for the truth,\u201d and so it goes away. Puzzling.\u201d\nRobert M. Pirsig, Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance\nAfter a short battle with cancer, Eleanor Shareen Boychuk died at the Beltline Hospital in Calgary on the evening of April 21, 2159, at the age of 89 years. She was predeceased by her husband Bob in 2150, her daughter Esmelda in 2136 and daughter-in-law Sheila in 2152, her brother Shawn in 21 40. She is survived by brother James, sons Roger and William, daughter-in-law Nora, 11 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.\nEleanor was born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan in 2070, the first child in a family of five. She was quickly noted for her ability with music, studies, and various household responsibilities at a young age. She excelled at school and played competitive basketball throughout her junior and senior high school years.\nIn 2088 (18), Eleanor enrolled in the University of Calgary's School of Practical Medicine, a five-year program to train first level doctors. In her third year, her students' residence saw some of her talents for governance that she wasn't seeing. They elected her as their neighborhood representative. She recalled that her studies prevented her from participating as fully as a neighborhood representative should have. Regardless, her fellow residents kept electing her for the next three years. She got some very valuable experience about TDG governance at a very young age.\nAfter graduation, Eleanor went overseas to work in hospitals and clinics in Ukraine and Kenya. In Kenya, she met Bob Fillmore who hailed from Eleanor's university town of Calgary. The Calgary connection in Africa was too strong, and they were married in 2095. They stayed in Kenya for another five years, where Roger and Esmeralda were born.\nBob was called to Geneva as a United Nation logistics engineer. There, William was born. Two years later, work in the corporate world brought Bob back to his home town of Calgary, and the family came with him.\nWith young kids to take care of, Eleanor stayed home and often entertained many of the neighborhood's children. She also volunteered for various neighborhood programs and causes. The neighborhood saw her great capacity and character and elected her as its neighborhood representative. Although this election meant giving up some of her local volunteer work, her neighborhood elected her for many years after.\nWhen the youngest child was in Grade 3, Eleanor decided it was time to return to her profession. After her six-month refresher, she was working shifts at the emergency ward at the Tsuu T'ina Hospital. Hospital management was pleased it had an employee who was also an active member of the TDG. It allowed Eleanor time off with pay to attend her TDG meetings, and it appreciated Eleanor's consultative nature when addressing various concerns in hospital operations, which Eleanor had a great impact on hospital policy despite being a front-line worker.\nEleanor always had ambitions of attaining her second-level doctor's training, but the TDG seemed to have other ideas.\nIn 2112, Eleanor was elected as district representative. She cut her work schedule to three shifts a week to accommodate her increased responsibilities in the TDG. A year and half later, she was elected as quadrant representative. The duties of a quadrant representative consumed much of her time, but she still worked five shifts a month at the hospital to maintain her medical license.\nShe held this position for 15 years, and her medical experience was utilized many times in consultations for Calgary's and Alberta's public decisions on health care.\nIn 2129, at the age of 59, the High Tier of Canada asked Eleanor to serve as Chief Board Member for Southern Alberta and Southern Saskatchewan. She told her family that this position was her most enjoyable service with the TDG. Her biggest challenge was bringing the elected bodies of the various municipalities along the Trans-Canada highway together to connect them to Calgary's TCTS (Tube-Capsule-Transport System), helping them to resolve all sorts of technical and social issues to implement this new technology.\nThree years later, she was appointed to a higher tier within the advisory board. She oversaw the operations of board members across Western Canada and Western United States, making appointments of recognized individuals and assisting them in their duties. She held this position for eight years.\nOn her 70th birthday, Eleanor announced it was time for a slower pace of life, and she asked not to be reappointed for another term in her advisory position. She and Bob downsized their big house and moved into a condo and a new neighborhood in Calgary. This neighborhood knew her reputation and had her elected as its representative. But she didn't display the energy to move her further up the tiers like she did before. At 75, she told the neighborhood: \u201cIt's time you elected someone younger.\u201d Despite her great TDG experience and still great service to the neighborhood residents, many of them accepted her informal resignation and cast their votes to another capable individual. Thus Eleanor retired from the TDG after 38 years of service.\nTo those of us reading this obituary from the dawn of the 21st century, we sense something very strange about Eleanor's career in governance. She never joined a political party; she never campaigned; she never asked anyone to vote for her. She never asked for campaign donations; she made no deals to help her get elected. She never had a mandate to get something specific done within her term; she was never threatened to get something done to keep her elected job; she only gave the TDG what she thought was best for her society. In the many elections she was called to serve, she never got more than 63 votes. She never insisted that she had all the answers; she never insisted those with differing ideas were fools; she always worked cooperatively with whoever the citizenry sent into governance; she made no enemies as she rose higher in the TDG. She accepted her TDG elections and appointments with humility, responsibility, and the spirit of service. Had the TDG not put her into public positions, she would have been happy being an ordinary citizen, taking care of her family, furthering her medical career, and volunteering in her community.\nWe in the 21st century can only admire public officials such as Eleanor Shareen Boychuk. But then again, the system of governance that will elect her will be much different than the system we have today.",

        "raw_content": "What You (Tell People To) See Is What (They Expect To) Get\nIt must be my age, but meeting old friends and colleagues often dredges up the beginning of beliefs and insights I frequently use but whose provenance I had forgotten, and which have been added to over the years and repeatedly demonstrated their value. So it was that lunch with the (long ago) ex Group Communications Director of ICI took me back to the genesis of my interest in branding in unusual places!\nIn the late 90\u2019s, the ICI I worked for was trying to work out what sort of company it was. At the beginning of the decade, they had separated off the pharmaceuticals and speciality chemicals businesses as Zeneca and majored on \u201cbulk chemicals\u201d, but had then acquired Unilever Speciality Chemicals in 1997 (in what was widely seen as a strategic blunder). Selling chemicals is primarily a B2B activity, but the chemicals industry was suffering in reputational terms and ICI was widely cited as a UK leader (how I learned the word \u201cbellwether\u201d) in the chemicals industry, so finding a way to explain its activities to both the investment community and wider society was recognised as important. Of course, the truth is that selling chemicals is very different from the retail industry that most people interact with. Chemicals are not (mostly) used directly (they are quite often colourless liquids or white powders) but are buried in the supply chain that results in the products most people see, and transformed many times before the final product. What ICI came up with was, as far as I saw as an employee, rather clever. Their strap line, \u201cThe Vital Ingredient\u201d, conveyed both the fact that what they sold wasn\u2019t obvious in the final product but that, without it, the final product probably wouldn\u2019t exist or would have inferior properties. In hindsight, I understood that ICI had worked out who they wanted to influence, understood what they contributed in the supply chain and communicated it in simple terms.\nA little over 10 years later, a similar challenge confronted the Technology Strategy Board. It had been spun out of government as a quango in 2007 and was beginning to understand that its role (to support economic growth) required it to know UK based companies that wanted to grow. Its historical community was derived from the LINK programme it grew out of, and consisted mainly of larger companies and universities. It had also inherited a government approach to communications \u2013 and issued press releases about how the government was about to give out, or had given out, large amounts of money. There was also a belief that announcements made by Ministers got more coverage than those made by the organisation itself. By 2010/11, they had realised that they needed to build their reputation with the companies who wanted to grow \u2013 many of whom were suspicious of any government involvement in their business. So they focused the content of their communications on the companies they had supported and told their stories. Companies tend to read about their competitors, customers and suppliers, so the TSB could enhance their reach by promoting the stories of companies who they had supported. Local and national media would pick up these stories, and the government would get the credit it craved by a roundabout, but validated, route. As with ICI, by understanding the community they needed to influence and what they contributed to that community, their communications became more effective, and they started to become known for the right things.\nThis simple approach works at all levels. I am now working with a company called Oxford Advanced Surfaces. It started almost 10 years ago as an Oxford University spin-out \u2013 based on some neat carbene chemistry \u2013 but had slightly lost its way, engaging in joint development programmes with large corporates, adding extra technologies to broaden it portfolio and so on, but had not made any money. The primary use of the product is to enable adhesion to difficult surfaces, in composites, for adhesives and paints. But, as one clear thinker I used to work for said \u201cpeople do not buy adhesives, they buy two things stuck together\u201d and adding an extra step in achieving that goal was a difficult sell. However, after many years talking with all sorts of people with adhesion problems, the team at OAS now have a very broad view of what sorts of problems people encounter and know how to solve them. They have now switched their communications to focusing on what customers do with their product and the sales are now beginning to come through.\nThese three examples show, at least to me, that branding is not about adverts and slogans. It is, as I have been told by several people I have been fortunate enough to work with that \u201cthe creation of a world-class brand comes from creating a great product or service experience, at a consistently high quality, over years\". You have to tell customers what you are doing to help them, but getting a reputation that helps you be effective as an organisation has to be based not on what you say, but on what those who determine whether your product or service sells think about you. You cannot build a brand without a lot of hard work and taking your time, but get it right and it pays off!",

Duterte's speech was marred by protesters who heckled him with shouts of \"Traitor!\" and \"Oust Duterte!\" (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)\nMANILA, Philippines (AP) \u2014 The Philippine president, who recently sparked outrage for calling God stupid, has courted new controversy in his largely Roman Catholic country by saying he will resign if anybody can prove that God exists.\nPresident Rodrigo Duterte, who has had a thorny relationship with the church, questioned anew in a speech late Friday (July 6) some of the basic tenets of the Catholic faith, including the concept of original sin, which he said taints even innocent infants and can only be removed through baptism in a church for a fee.\nThe 73-year-old leader said that if there\u2019s \u201cone single witness\u201d who can prove, perhaps with a picture or a selfie, that a human was \u201cable to talk and to see God,\u201d he will immediately resign.\nDuterte, however, suggested that there must be a God or a supreme being that prevents billions of stars and celestial bodies from colliding in a frequency that could have long threatened the human race.\nLast week, he was slammed, including by some of his political allies, for calling God \u201cstupid\u201d in another speech, with one Catholic bishop calling him a \u201cpsychopath.\u201d\nDuterte lamented in that speech that Adam and Eve\u2019s sin in Christian theology resulted in all the faithful falling from divine grace.\n\u201cWho is this stupid God? This son of a bitch is then really stupid,\u201d he said last week. \u201cYou were not involved but now you\u2019re stained with an original sin. \u2026 What kind of a religion is that? That\u2019s what I can\u2019t accept, very stupid proposition.\u201d\nOpposition Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV shot back at Duterte by describing him as \u201cone evil man\u201d and his remarks as \u201cvery much consistent with the deceitfulness, heartlessness and ruthlessness of his policies.\u201d\nPresidential spokesman Harry Roque has defended the president\u2019s remarks, saying Duterte has the right to express his opinion on religion, and cited the president\u2019s previous disclosure that he was once sexually abused by a priest.\nDuterte on Friday recalled that experience, when he said he and other students were fondled by a foreign Jesuit priest, who has since died.\nAmid the criticisms, officials have arranged a meeting between Duterte and the head of the largest association of Catholic bishops on Monday. Filipino bishops opened an annual conference in Manila on Saturday and were expected to address Duterte\u2019s tirades when they conclude their meeting on Monday.\nSome Catholic bishops have been critical of Duterte\u2019s brutal crackdown against illegal drugs, which have left thousands of suspects dead in reported clashes with the police, along with his vulgar and expletive-laden speeches. He once called Pope Francis a \u201cson of a bitch\u201d for sparking a monstrous traffic during a 2015 visit in Manila that trapped Duterte for hours.\nTagsCatholic Philippines Rodrigo Duterte",

One student was prevented from entering either the boys or girls locker room while the teachers discussed where she should go,\u201d the post read.\nOther students found shelter in the nearest bathroom or locker room in an attempt to simulate where they would hide if a mass shooting was underway at the school.\n\u201cThe student was forced to watch the adults charged with her care, debate the safest place (for the other students) to have her shelter,\u201d the post continued. \u201cDuring this debate, she was instructed to sit in the gym with a teacher until the drill was complete, away from her peers and identified as different. After some additional debate, she was made to sit in the locker room hall way, by the door away from her peers. This happened because the child, in addition to being a model student, also happens to be transgender.\u201d\nThe student was ultimately told to sit in a hallway for the rest of the drill.\nEquality Stafford Community, This past week, an incident occurred during a middle school lock down drill in Stafford\u2026\nPosted by Equality Stafford on Wednesday, October 3, 2018\n\u201cDuring an event that prepares children to survive an attack by actual assailants, she was treated as if she was so much of a danger to peers that she was left exposed and vulnerable,\u201d Equality Stafford wrote. \u201cThese events occur across our country right now but this one happened here.\u201d\nIn a statement issued to the LGBT outlet Metro Weekly, school spokesperson Sherrie Johnson said that while the school doesn\u2019t comment on individual matters involving students, a review of the school\u2019s policies is underway.\n\u201cThe new superintendent has requested a review of all protocols and procedures to ensure that all children are treated with dignity and respect,\u201d Johnson said in the statement.\n\u201cWe take such matters very seriously and they will be addressed.

How exactly does that happen?\nAs John Lennon once said, \u201cLife is what happens when you\u2019re busy making other plans\u201d. And so it is.\nSo\u2026where was I? Last I left this little blog, I talked about committing to making a leap. That is a state that we can be in, almost perpetually, it seems. The commitment and re-commitment to deciding to make something happen. Perhaps in the year since my last blog post, you\u2019ve committed yourself to something? Sure you have. Even if it\u2019s just doing the laundry. And if you haven\u2019t, there\u2019s always tomorrow.\nToday, I\u2019m talking about leaping. The actual thing. Now, we all know that there can be small leaps and big leaps, but really, I\u2019d prefer not to categorize, and certainly not to rate. Because all leaps are still leaps, and all are worth thinking about and potentially making.\nI\u2019ve made big leaps that led to little. And I\u2019ve made small leaps that have landed me in a new place of learning, of being, of embracing and becoming more of my essence. Even when that means being vulnerable, and possibly feeling heartache because of it.\nOh yes. Heartache.\nBrene Brown, who you have most likely heard of (and if you haven\u2019t, leave this post right now. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Just go directly to TED and watch her talks on vulnerability and shame\u2026), discovered that the more vulnerable folks allow themselves to be, the more joy they are able to feel.\nI am so glad that research has shown this. Thank you, Dr. Brown.\nBecause this is how you leap. You just do. And you do it, even though it might completely and utterly ruin you. Which it might. For a little while, at least.\nAnd what if it does?\nI took a big leap a couple of weeks ago. I will keep to myself the content and the reasons, but suffice it to say, I let myself get curious about something. At first, I hesitated about moving toward it. In hindsight, I realize I may have been having an intuition about it not being the most powerful choice. But, I wanted to see what would happen, and that desire, born of both an innocent and juicy place was what won out in the end. I went inside myself, examined my reasoning, separated the rational from the emotional and then let the two meld again. And then, once I committed to the leap, I let myself be taken by the experience, without hesitation, without looking back. And\u2026 it didn\u2019t turn out to be what I thought it was, and it certainly was not what I\u2019d hoped. And yeah, it sucks. Truly. And my heart is heavy for the grand failure of the venture. It\u2019s a feeling no one wants to have, but one I can certainly appreciate. But, when I ask myself what the most important piece if this is\u2013 the risk that I took or the failure, I know that it was the willingness to take the risk. I let myself be vulnerable. And from that allowing myself to be vulnerable, and now raw and cracked open because of it\u2013 yes, I feel pain, but also there is the joy of what it means to fully live. I could sit here, and I could say, \u201cGeez, if I hadn\u2019t done that thing, I wouldn\u2019t be hurting right now.\u201d But then there\u2019s the other voice that says, \u201cYes, but you never would have known what would have come to be if you hadn\u2019t\u2026 \u201d And well, I am simply too curious a cat not to try it out. This much I know is true.\nI\u2019ll write later (hopefully before another year has passed) on the next step: How to stand behind your decision. But for now\u2026\nSuccess. Hurrah!\nLeap again.\nFAIL. More hurt.\nOh bla dee.\nBesides. What are you here for, anyway?",

        "title": "Introduction to Clinical Ethics: Bioethical Tool",
        "raw_content": "Return to Bioethics Tools Index\nSummary of Methodology\nParadigm (4 boxes)\nSample Case Analysis\nIntroduction to Clinical Ethics, 4th edition\nThe following is an excerpt from Clinical Ethics: A Practical Approach to Ethical Decisions in Clinical Medicine, 4th Edition by Albert R. Jonsen, Mark Siegler, and William J. Winslade (1998). Copyright permission to reproduce this excerpt has been generously granted by McGraw-Hill. We encourage you to read this useful resource book, available now in the 7th Edition (2010).\nClinical ethics is a practical discipline that provides a structured approach to assist physicians in identifying, analyzing and resolving ethical issues in clinical medicine. The practice of good clinical medicine requires some working knowledge about ethical issues such as informed consent, truth-telling, confidentiality, end-of-life care, pain relief, and patient rights. Medicine, even at its most technical and scientific, is an encounter between human beings, and the physician's work of diagnosing disease, offering advice, and providing treatment is embedded in a moral context. Usually, moral values such as mutual respect, honesty, trustworthiness, compassion, and a commitment to pursue shared goals, make a clinical encounter between physician and patient morally unproblematic. Occasionally, physicians and patients may disagree about values or face choices that challenge their values. It is then that ethical problems arise. Clinical ethics is both about the ethical features that are present in every clinical encounter and about the ethical problems that occasionally arise in those encounters. Clinical ethics relies upon the conviction that, even when perplexity is great and emotions run high, physicians and nurses, patients and families can work constructively to identify, analyze and resolve many of the ethical problems that arise in clinical medicine.\nThe authors have two purposes in writing this book: first, to offer an approach that facilitates thinking about the complexities of the problems that clinicians actually face and, second, to assemble concise representative opinions about typical ethical problems that occur in the practice of medicine. We think it is more important that clinicians develop skill at analyzing the cases they encounter rather than merely have a book in which \"to look up answers.\" Our hope is that every clinician will acknowledge that ethics is an inherent aspect of good clinical medicine and that, ideally, every clinician will become as proficient at clinical ethics as clinical medicine. Our book is intended not only for clinicians and students who provide care to patients, but also for others whose work requires an awareness and sensitivity to the ethical issues raised in clinical care, such as hospital administrators, hospital attorneys, members of institutional ethics committees, quality reviewers and administrators of health plans. In the complex world of modern health care, all of these persons are responsible for maintaining the ethics that lie at the heart of quality care.\nMany books on health care ethics are organized around moral principles, such as respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and fairness, and the cases are analyzed in the light of those principles. Our method is different. While we appreciate the importance of principles, we believe that the practitioner approaching a case needs a method that better fits the realities of the clinical setting and the reasoning of the clinician. Clinical situations are complex since they often involve a wide range of medical facts, a multitude of circumstances and a variety of values. Often decisions must be reached quickly. The authors believe that clinicians need a straightforward way to sort the facts and values of the case at hand into an orderly pattern that will facilitate the discussion and resolution of the ethical problem.\nWe suggest that every clinical case, when seen as an ethical problem, should be analyzed by means of four topics. These four topics are\n1. Medical Indications\n2. Patient Preferences\n4. Contextual Features, that is, the social, economic, legal, and administrative context in which the case occurs.\nEvery case can be viewed in terms of these four topics; no case can be adequately discussed without reference to them. Although the facts of each case differ, these four topics are always relevant. The topics organize the varying facts of the particular case and, at the same time, the topics call attention to the moral principles appropriate to the case. It is our intent to show readers how the topics provide a systematic way to identify, analyze and resolve the ethical problems arising in clinical medicine.\nClinicians will recall the method of case presentation that they learned at the beginning of their professional training. They were taught to \"present\" a patient by stating in order the patient's history, including the chief complaint, the history of the present illness, past medical history, family and social history, followed by physical findings and laboratory data. These are the topics that an experienced clinician uses to reach a diagnosis and to formulate a case management plan. While the particular details under each of these topics differ from patient to patient; the topics themselves are constant and always relevant to the task of arriving at a case management plan. Sometimes one topic, for example, the patient's family history or the physical examination, may be particularly important or, conversely, may not be relevant to the problem at hand. Still, clinicians are expected to review all topics in every case. Our four topics -- (1) Medical Indications, (2) Patient Preferences, (3) Quality of Life, and (4) Contextual Features--are the ethical equivalents of these familiar clinical topics.\nThese topics help clinicians understand where the moral principles meet the circumstances of the clinical case. The general headings of the topics describe the major features that define the ethics of clinical medicine; each of these features takes on specific, concrete form from the circumstances of the particular case. In a given case, a patient comes to a physician, complaining of feeling ill. Medical Indications include a clinical picture of polydipsia and polyuria, nausea, fatigue and some mental confusion, with laboratory studies showing hyperglycemia, acidosis and elevated plasma ketone concentrations. A diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis is made. Fluids and insulin are indicated in specific doses and volumes. These particulars are the occasion for implementing the moral principle of beneficence, that is, the duty of performing actions that benefit the patient. However, in the same case, the patient may be confused and, after hearing the physician's recommendations, rejects further medical attention: these circumstances, noted under Patient Preferences, raise questions about the principle of autonomy, that is, the duty to respect the patient's wishes. As the case is described, circumstances accumulate under all four of the topics and affect the meaning and relevance of the moral principles. It is advisable to review the entire four topics in order to see how the principles and the circumstances together define the ethical problem in the case and suggest a resolution. It is rare that an ethical problem involves only one ethical principle. Every actual ethical problem is a complex collection of many circumstances. Good ethical judgment consists in appreciating how several ethical principles should be evaluated in the actual situation under consideration. We hope our method helps practitioners to do just that.\nWe divide the book into four chapters, each one devoted to one of these four topics. These four chapters define the major concepts associated with each topic, present typical cases in which the topic under discussion plays a particularly important role, and critically review the arguments commonly offered to resolve the problem. For example, the case of a Jehovah's Witness patient who refuses blood transfusion will demonstrate how the topic of Patient Preferences functions in the analysis of the ethical problem raised by a patient's refusal of an indicated medical treatment. At the same time, the current opinion of medical ethicists on Jehovah's Witness cases will be summarized. Thus, a reader can use this volume as a reference book, looking up, for example, \"refusal of treatment\" or \"Jehovah's Witnesses\" in the Locator at the front of the book and reading the several pages devoted to that issue in chapter 2.\nThose who use the [latest edition of the] book as a reference will find concise summaries of current opinion on the ethics of certain typical cases, such as those involving refusal of care or a diagnosis of persistent vegetative state. This may be all that they seek at the moment. However, the actual cases that clinicians encounter in practice will be more than typical: they will be a combination of unique circumstances and values. The four topics are, as it were, signposts that guide the way through the complexity of real cases. Thus, mastering the book's four-part method will serve the reader better than using it for occasional reference. We strongly suggest that readers first read the book from beginning to end to get the hang of the method. We hope they will become adept at bringing the method to bear on their own clinical cases.\nThis book was originally written for physicians specialized in internal medicine and concentrated on the ethical problems encountered by those making clinical decisions for patients in their practice. In subsequent editions, the scope was broadened to adult medicine in general and then to pediatrics...It also became obvious to the authors that many other health care providers, nurses, social workers, medical technicians, as well as chaplains and administrators, found our method useful. In this fourth edition, the original emphasis on clinical decisions made by physicians remains but we believe that others can fit the particular concerns and values of their own professions into the topics of the book.\nWe illustrate our method by a brief summary of a case familiar to many who have studied medical ethics, namely, the case of Donald \"Dax\" Cowart, the burn patient who related his experience in the videotape Please Let Me Die and the documentary, Dax's Case. [1]\nIn 1973, \"Dax\" Cowart, age 25, was severely burned in a propane gas explosion. Rushed to the Burn Treatment Unit of Parkland Hospital in Dallas, he was found to have severe burns over 65 percent of his body; his face and hands suffered third degree burns and his eyes were severely damaged. Full burn therapy was instituted. After an initial period during which his survival was in doubt, he stabilized and underwent amputation of several fingers and removal of his right eye. During much of his 232-day hospitalization at Parkland, his few weeks at Texas Institute of Rehabilitation and Research at Houston, and his subsequent six month's stay at University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, he repeatedly insisted that treatment be discontinued and that he be allowed to die. Despite this demand, wound care was continued, skin grafts performed and nutritional and fluid support provided. He was discharged totally blind, with minimal use of his hands, badly scarred, and dependent on others to assist in personal functions.\nDiscussion of a case like this can begin by raising any number of questions. Did Dax have the moral or the legal right to refuse care? Was Dax competent to make a decision? Were the physicians paternalistic? What was Dax's prognosis? All these questions, and many others, are relevant and can give rise to vigorous debate. However, we suggest that an ethical analysis should begin by an orderly review of the four topics. We recommend that the same order be followed in all cases: (l) Medical Indications, (2) Patient Preferences, (3) Quality of Life, (4) Contextual Features. This procedure will lay out the ethically relevant facts of the case (or show where further information is needed) before debate begins. It should be noted that this order of review does not constitute an order of ethical priority. The determination of relative importance of these topics will be explained in the four chapters.\nMedical Indications. This topic comprises the usual content of a clinical discussion: the diagnosis and treatment of the patient's pathological condition. \"Indications\" refers to the relation between the pathophysiology presented by the patient and the diagnostic and therapeutic interventions that are \"indicated,\" that is, appropriate to evaluate and treat the problem. Although this is the usual material covered in the presentation of any patient's clinical problems, the ethical discussion will not only review the medical facts, but also attend to the purposes and goals of any indicated interventions.\nIn Dax's case, the medical indications include the clinical facts necessary to diagnose the extent and seriousness of burns, to make a prognosis for survival or restoration of function, and the options for treatment, including the risks, benefits and probable outcomes of each treatment modality. For example, certain prognoses are associated with burns of given severity and extent. Various forms of treatment, such as fluid replacement, skin grafting and antibiotics are associated with certain probabilities of outcome and risk. After initial emergency treatment, Dax's prognosis for survival was approximately 20%. After six months of intensive care, his prognosis for survival improved to almost 100%. If his request to stop wound care and grafting during that hospitalization had been respected, he would almost certainly have died. A clear view of the possible benefits of intervention is the first step in assessing the ethical aspects of a case.\nPatient Preferences. In all medical treatment, the preferences of the patient, based on the patient's own values and personal assessment of benefits and burdens are ethically relevant. In every clinical case, the questions must be raised: \"What are the patient's goals? What does the patient want?\" The systematic review of this topic requires further questions. Has the patient been provided sufficient information? Does the patient comprehend? Does the patient understand the uncertainty inherent in any medical recommendation and the range of reasonable options that exist? Is the patient consenting voluntarily? Is the patient coerced? In some cases, an answer to these questions might be \"We don't know because the patient is incapable of formulating a preference or expressing one.\" If the patient is mentally incapacitated at the time a decision must be made, we must ask \"Who has the authority to decide on behalf of this patient? What are the ethical and legal limits of that authority? What is to be done if no one can be identified as surrogate?\nIn Dax's case, a question about his mental capacity arose in the early days of his refusal of care. Had the physical and emotional shock of the accident undermined his ability to decide for himself? Initially it was assumed that he lacked the capacity to make his own decisions, at least about refusing life-saving therapy. The doctors accepted the consent of Dax's mother in favor of treatment, over his refusal of treatment. Later, when Dax was hospitalized in Galveston, psychiatric consultation was requested which affirmed his capacity to make decisions. Once capacity was established, the ethical implications of his desire to refuse care became central. Should his preference be respected? If not, on what grounds? Did Dax appreciate sufficiently the prospects for his rehabilitation? Are physicians obliged to pursue therapies they believe have promise over the objections of a patient? Would they be cooperating in a suicide if they assented to Dax's wishes? Any case involving the ethics of patient preferences relies on clarification of these questions.\nQuality of Life. Any injury or illness threatens persons with actual or potential reduced quality of life, manifested in the signs and symptoms of their disease. The object of all medical intervention is to restore, maintain or improve quality of life. Thus, in all medical situations, the topic of quality of life must be raised. Many questions surround this topic: What does this phrase, \"quality of life\" mean in general? How should it be understood in particular cases? How do persons other than the patient perceive the patient's quality of life and of what ethical relevance are their perceptions? Above all, what is the relevance of quality of life to ethical judgment? This topic, which is less well worked out in the literature of medical ethics than the two previous ones, is perilous because it opens the door for bias and prejudice. Still, it must be confronted in the analysis of clinical ethical problems.\nIn Dax's case, we note the quality of his life prior to the accident. He was a popular, athletic young man, just discharged from the Air Force, after serving as a fighter pilot in Viet Nam. He worked in a real estate business with his father (who was also injured in the explosion and died on the way to the hospital). Before his accident, Dax's quality of life was excellent. During the course of medical care, he endured excruciating pain and profound depression. After the accident, even with the best of care, he was confronted with significant physical deficits, including notable disfigurement, blindness and limitation of activity. At some stage in his illness, Dax had the capacity to determine what quality of life he wished for himself. However, in the early weeks of his hospitalization, he was probably mentally incapacitated at the time critical decisions had to be made. When he was, others would have had to make certain \"quality of life\" decisions on his behalf. Was the prospect for return to a normal or even acceptable life so poor that no reasonable person would choose to live? Who should make such decisions? What values should guide them? The meaning and import of such considerations must be clarified in any clinical ethical analysis.\nContextual Features. Patients come to physicians because they have a problem that they hope the physician can help to correct. Physicians undertake the care of patients with the intent and the duty to make all reasonable efforts to help them. The topics of medical indications, patient preferences and quality of life bring out these essential features of the case. Yet every medical case is embedded in a larger context of persons, institutions, financial and social arrangements. Patient care is influenced, positively or negatively, by the possibilities and the constraints of that context. At the same time, the context itself is affected by the decisions made by or about the patient: these decisions have psychological, emotional, financial, legal, scientific, educational, religious impact on others. In every case, the relevance of the contextual features must be determined and assessed. These contextual features may be crucially important to the understanding and resolution of the case.\nIn Dax's case, several of these contextual features were significant. Dax's mother was opposed to termination of medical care for religious reasons. The legal implications of honoring Dax's demand were unclear at the time (they are clearer today). The costs of sixteen months of intensive burn therapy are not insignificant (although this was not emphasized in the various discussions of the case). The distress caused to medical and nursing personnel by Dax's refusal to cooperate with treatment might have influenced their attitudes toward him. These and other contextual factors must be made explicit and assessed for their relevance.\nThese four topics are relevant to any clinical case, whatever the actual circumstances. They serve as a useful organizing device for teaching and discussion. More important, however, is the way in which a review of these topics can help to move a discussion of an ethical problem toward a resolution. Any serious discussion of an ethical problem must go beyond merely talking about it in an orderly way: it must push through to a reasonable and practical resolution. Ethical problems, no less than medical problems, cannot be left hanging. Thus, after presenting a case, the task of seeking a resolution must begin.\nThe discussion of each topic raises, or presupposes, certain common ethical notions. These notions propose certain standards of behavior or attitudes that are morally appropriate to the topic. They can be called moral principles or rules: rules tend to be quite specific to particular topics, while principles are stated in broader, more general terms. For example, one version of the principle of beneficence states, \"There is an obligation to assist others in the furthering of their legitimate interests.\" The moral rule, \"physicians have a duty to treat patients, even at risk to themselves,\" is a specific expression of that broad principle, suited to a particular sphere of professional activity, namely, medical care. The topic of medical indications, in addition to the clinical data that must be discussed, raises the further questions, \"How much can we do to help this patient?\" \"What risks of adverse effects can be tolerated in the attempt to treat the patient?\" Answers to these questions, arising so naturally in the discussion of medical indications, can be guided by familiar moral rules applied to medical ethics such as, \"Be of benefit and do no harm\" or \"Risks should be balanced by benefits.\" Rules such as these reflect in a specific way the broad principle that the philosophers have named beneficence. Similarly, the topic of patient preferences contains rules that instruct clinicians to tell patients the truth, to respect their deliberate preferences, to honor their values, etc. Rules such as these fall under the general scope of the principles of autonomy and respect for persons.\nOur method of analysis begins, not with the principles and rules, as do many other ethics treatises, but with the factual features of the case. We refer to relevant principles and rules as they arise in the discussion of the topics. In this way, abstract discussions of principles is avoided as is the tendency to think of only one principle, such as autonomy or beneficence, as the sole guide in the case. Moral rules and principles are best appreciated in the specific context of the actual circumstances of a case. For example, a key issue in Dax's case is the autonomy of the patient. However, the significance of autonomy in Dax's case is derived, not simply from the principle that requires we respect it, but from the confluence of considerations about preferences, medical indications for treatment, quality of life, decisional capacity, and the role of his mother, the doctors, the lawyers and the hospitals. Only when all these are seen and evaluated in relation to each other, will the meaning of the principle of autonomy be appreciated in this case.\nCompetence in clinical ethics depends not only on being able to use a sound method for analysis, but also on familiarity with the literature of medical ethics. Some readers will seek further elaboration of the issues dealt with so briefly in this introductory book. We direct these readers to a few sources where they will find, not only that elaboration, but references to the major literature. Thus, we place in brackets after our discussion of an issue references to The Encyclopedia of Bioethics (2), Principles of Biomedical Ethics (3), and Medical Ethics (4).\nBeauchamp TL, Childress JF.

One of our stops was in southern France to see lavender fields. East of Avignon and towards the town of Sault, the countryside is riddled with small to large lavender farms. Since true lavender (the kind with medicinal purposes) only grows at higher elevations, the farms are carved into the rolling hilltops or at the mountain's base. Churned rock and earth are common between the rows of lavender. Since lavender loves to be hot and dry, the rocky earth is prime ground. I have some amazing photos I wish I could share with you and the group on this. I can only suggest that for those who love art that imitates life (like your beautiful work does), to go see some of these in real person.

        "raw_content": "Psychiatry Educational Track\nA psychiatrist is a highly trained medical doctor and primary mental health-care giver in one of the oldest professional specialties in the field of medicine. Psychiatrists treat individuals with a plethora of mental health conditions; many of which are caused or affected by physical conditions, illnesses, syndromes and diseases. Since proper care requires both a mental health specialist as well as a physician; aspiring psychiatrists begin acquiring their dual abilities by following the traditional path to becoming a doctor; which includes completing a medical school degree program. Upon completing the requirements of a medical physician, the individual then proceeds to the specialized education and training necessary for diagnosing and treating mental health issues from a psychiatric perspective.\nAlthough an associate degree program in psychiatry does not exist, individuals do have the option to earn an AA (or complete the more commonly-selected certificate program) in psychiatric technology.\nAssociate degree programs in psychiatric technology differ from certificate programs because they include general education courses, such as English, mathematics and science. They also touch upon psychological and fundamental nursing concepts, as well as include clinical work. Students also take longer to complete an associate degree program (roughly two years of study) while some certificate programs can last as brief as one semester.\nThose who finish the most basic of psychiatric-related education programs qualify for entry-level positions, which are often filled by Psychiatric Aides, whose duties involve helping patients with personal grooming and other daily activities, such as recreational- and therapeutic pursuits.\nPsychiatric Technicians have received more formal training than aides, and learn how to take a more active role in the planning and carrying out of patient treatment plans. In addition to conducting therapy sessions, they may also admit and interview patients, keep records, and give medications. A psychiatric tech also works directly under the supervision of a licensed psychiatrist or another type of health care provider.\nAccording to the American Association of Psychiatric Technicians (AAPT), additional training is needed for a psychiatric tech to advance in the field, such as entering a bachelor\u2019s degree program to become a practical- or registered nurse. Beyond earning a college degree in nursing, some psychiatric technicians go on to pursue an education in psychology, social work, sociology, special education, or another related field, such as developmental disabilities or mental health. Becoming certified also increases salary opportunities for psychiatric technicians. The AAPT administers a voluntary certification examination that recognizes three levels of achievement based upon years of experience and total number of completed college course hours.\nTo become a psychiatrist, technicians and aides must first earn a bachelor\u2019s degree, and then go on to medical school to receive adequate training and experience as a doctor.\nIn order to become a psychiatrist, a bachelor\u2019s degree in any field is generally acceptable. The curriculum for an aspiring psychiatrist typically includes mathematics and science coursework with lab requirements, such as physics. It is not uncommon to see students majoring in a science-related discipline, such as biology, chemistry, or even psychology. For example, a Bachelor of Science in Biology is a 4-year degree program with a curriculum typically featuring coursework in chemistry, genetics, physics, and organic chemistry. Some aspiring psychiatrists may also opt to double-major in a science and psychology.\nTo gain the best preparation for an advanced education leading towards a career in psychiatry, pursuing a pre-med program at a college or university is optional, yet ensures a student has fulfilled the necessary prerequisites associated with gaining entry into medical school. During their undergraduate studies, students also take courses to gain a better understanding about how the mind works. Those who complete an internship or volunteer at a local clinic or hospital gain valuable hands-on experience which ultimately enhances his or her medical school application.\nIn addition to maintaining a solid GPA, having glowing recommendations and writing an essay, doing well on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) is highly recommended for prospective medical students. Administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges, the multiple-choice exam measures a student\u2019s aptitude in biological sciences, critical thinking, and other related skills. Most medical schools require the submission of MCAT scores during the application process. Undergraduate students typically take the MCAT during their junior or senior year of school.\nEarning Your Medical Degree\nTo become a physician that primarily cares for patients with mental health problems, aspiring psychiatrists must complete four years of medical school to earn a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) or Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. All psychiatrists go through the same medical training as all other doctors, with a focus on learning how the body functions, how to treat all types of disease, and explore processes of the mind.\nThe first two years of medical school are spent building a solid foundation in all areas of medicine that includes coursework in anatomy, psychology, pathology, physiology, biochemistry, and immunology. The classroom instruction that students encounter also touches upon subjects related to healthcare law and medical ethics.\nHands-on experience and training takes place during clinical rotations, where medical school students spend the remaining two years of their studies in hospitals and clinics (usually in university-affiliated medical facilities), learning how to care for patients under the guidance of seasoned medical staff. During this time, students explore a wide range of fields and specialties such as obstetrics, family practice, surgery, and pediatrics.\nUpon successful completion of medical school, graduates receive a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, whereas some medical schools award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). New graduates must pass the United States Medical Licensing Exam to obtain a state license in order to practice medicine in the U.S. Upon successful completion of medical school, the graduate is officially a doctor, but is not yet qualified to fully practice as a psychiatrist.\nAdditional training is still required, which takes place during a residency in psychiatry.\nCompleting Your Psychiatric Residency\nA psychiatric residency allows a physician to learn how to better interact with patients, as well as develop their skills to specifically address a patient\u2019s mental health needs. Depending on the specific program and specialty interests of a doctor, the extra training related to the diagnosis and treatment of emotional illnesses takes a minimum of four years to complete.\nA residency plays an important role in shaping the education and experience of a psychiatrist, and involves on-the-job, paid training that typically takes place in a hospital. The first year of residency training introduces doctors to patients with a variety of medical issues. The American Psychiatric Association states that at least three additional years of training follows, to touch upon the diagnosis and treatment of mental health cases within a range of medical settings, such as psychiatric wards, health clinics, and hospitals. Doctors eventually gain experience working with a variety of patients, including individuals, couples, families, and large groups.\nDuring their residencies, psychiatrists-in-training also become familiar with the range of treatment approaches associated with their field, such as psychotherapy (also known as talk therapy), medication, deep brain stimulation, electroconvulsive therapy (which uses electrical currents to the brain for severe depression cases), and light therapy as a method of treating patients suffering from seasonal depression.\nUpon completion of at least four years of residency, a doctor becomes a psychiatrist, and may pursue board certification by passing an exam administered by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. In order to maintain their credentials as a certified psychiatrist, doctors must re-certify every 10 years.\nCompleting a Fellowship\nFrom chronic care to thought disorders (like schizophrenia), a psychiatric residency also introduces a physician to various niches they may later want to pursue on a more in-depth level. Doctors who gravitate towards a subfield of psychiatry require an additional 1-2 years of training (called a fellowship) where they concentrate on a specific subject, such as children, adolescents, adults, addiction, forensics, neuropsychiatry, or personality disorders.\nObtaining a specialty in psychiatry opens the doors to a greater number of employment opportunities. For example, substance abuse treatment centers often seek the expertise of an addiction psychiatrist, while a forensic psychiatrist is often hired by the criminal justice system. Geriatric psychiatrists specialize in working with the elderly, and generally find jobs in nursing homes, hospices, and long-term care facilities.\nAccording to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, psychiatrists who specialize in child- or geriatric psychiatry are expected to be in high demand. Psychiatrists, in general, also fall under the category of healthcare-related occupations that represent a shortage in mental health providers. HRSA also states that it would take approximately 2,800 new psychiatrist hires to eliminate the current mental health professional shortage areas in the United States.\nIn conclusion, the educational path of a future psychiatrist starts with an undergraduate education, which lays down a foundation of math and science for a student to expand upon. All psychiatrists must complete a medical school education before entering a residency program, which solely concentrates on equipping a doctor with the tools to operate as a psychiatrist and treat patients in mental health distress. The opportunity to specialize in a more targeted area of psychiatry requires additional years of training, but also increases a physician\u2019s employment opportunities and potential earning capacity.",

        "raw_content": "Twitter Teshuvot\n(My Torah on Twitter post was included in this week's Haveil Havalim (#210).)\nThere are several websites already online that feature ask a rabbi feature (Ask Moses, Chabad, Aish's Ask The Rabbi, Beit-El Yeshiva Center, and even Reform Judaism are just some sites that have this feature).\nThe step beyond this is for SMS ask-the-rabbi, which Rabbi Shlomo Aviner has taken up, with his ongoing Shut SMS series (#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10a, #10b, #11a, #11b, #12), about which Rabbi Adam Mintz discussed a similar thing of Rav Aviner's couple of years ago (although not SMS Shut, per se) in his teshuvot series of lectures.\nOver this past weekend, Dani Klein and I were talking about the opening there is on Twitter for an ask the rabbi account (he actually mentioned this online on Wednesday) and although I'm not sure I would be up for such an idea, myself, I do think it's a good idea. In fact, I'm surprised Chabad is not already on to this yet (although there is @ChabadOrgNews and @Lubavitch, but they are not doing question and answers). Anyways, this is an as of yet unexplored niche and it will be interesting to see what will become of it.\nTowards an Appreciation of Ontology for the Modern Orthodox Community\nThis past Thursday\u2019s parshah shiur at my school (as a part of YCT's weekly parshah shiur series) featured Rabbi Jonathan Kelsen, who spoke on \u201cEncountering Reality\u201d. He had a very fascinating set of things to say, beginning around the 31 minute mark,\nI\u2019m saying in this beis midrash specifically \u2026 because it\u2019s Modern Orthodoxy. I think that - and I include myself in this - that many Modern Orthodox Jews - not all - shy away from what I just said - they shy away from this kind of ontological talk and they shy away from talking about somehow there are specks of dirt on the soul because that\u2019s kind of crazy \u2013 that\u2019s kind of fundamentalist \u2013 that\u2019s kind of radical.\nThe worry I have for the Modern Orthodox community is that, in denying any ontology and any talk of these types of things and only insisting on thinking things through (I\u2019m going to contradict myself in about two and a half minutes, so stay tuned), as long as it\u2019s not psychological and it\u2019s not about our current narrative and our community\u2019s sphracht or our psycho-spiritual whatever \u2013 those types of terms, we don\u2019t know what to do with it. And, in fact, I think a lot of us, I think you will find that a lot of your congregants, I imagine, are not going to want to going to talk about legal constructs, about legal authority either, kind of positivist legal constructs.\nI don\u2019t think that a lot of Modern Orthodox Jews like to talk about, \u201cWell, I don\u2019t mean that the soul actually has a stain, but when you do a \u05d7\u05d8\u05d0, it generates a \u05d7\u05d9\u05d5\u05d1 of a \u05d7\u05d8\u05d0\u05ea, as a \u05d7\u05dc\u05d5\u05ea \u05e9\u05dd \u05d7\u05d9\u05d5\u05d1 \u05d7\u05d8\u05d0\u05ea, and I don\u2019t know how it affects metaphysics or not or what it has to do with the other world, but because God commanded and I just do \u05d2\u05d6\u05d9\u05e8\u05ea \u05d4\u05de\u05dc\u05da and there\u2019s sort of like this cause-and-effect legally, it\u2019s halakhic reality \u2013 not w hat we call \u2018real life\u2019 and \u2018actual reality\u2019 and what you end up with is \u2018halakhic reality\u2019 and \u2018real life\u2019 and the twain shall never meet and that\u2019s a problem.\nI\u2019m telling you why I am saying this: I, as much as anybody else, cannot adopt ontological language \u2013 it is very hard for me. For a long time already \u2013 I have been through the positivism, I have been through the social constructs, and I have been through the psychology and I am still there. But I will tell you what I think I am missing by doing that. And what I am missing is everything about human experience, which ontology actually describes accurately. And here\u2019s what I mean by that: When people talk about the stain of sin, they talk about it for a reason; they experience sin as stainful. When people talk about guilt, they are not talking about wrong-doings, they don\u2019t mean that \"I have a \u05d7\u05d9\u05d5\u05d1 to feel guilty right now, legally.\" Or \"As part of filial loyalty to my community, I am going to feel guilt for my sin\" - they may, but I hope they don\u2019t.\nThat means they are missing out on the experience of guilt, or of joy or of \u05e7\u05d3\u05d5\u05e9\u05d4.\nI think that by being reductionist in our language, in shying away from ontology all together, we are blocking ourselves off from part of human experience and I think that\u2019s really what my theory is. I am afraid that if we are always symbolizing things \u2013 talking about what the referents are, and what\u2019s beyond the immediate, then we miss out on what the point of it was to begin with.\nSo I think that while it\u2019s hard for me to adopt \u2013 to really go all the way towards ontology and really accept the Ramban and really accept the Ramban\u2019s notion of my soul is stained by sin and I want to encourage the Modern Orthodox community to start returning to that as far as we can. For those of us who can think in those terms, I think that\u2019s great and they have a lot to offer our community, which has been so sophisticated sometimes that it forgets about life. And if you can\u2019t get all the way there, which I can\u2019t, then psychologically to remember that there are those who experience sin as being real.\nLabels: Modern Orthodoxy\nTrying to Twitter Torah\nApropos of my recent posting on Torah on Twitter, I figured I will give it a go for a limited time, especially since there are various reasons to do so. I figured also that it would be a good experience for me to try my hand at brief Torah thoughts (no rabbi is good at this).\nWhile I am still thinking about how best to do this task, I am planning on doing one tweet per day on the topic of \u05d1\u05e8\u05db\u05ea \u05d4\u05d7\u05de\u05d4 (the blessing over the sun (not the sun) (more info)) - if it goes well, great; if not, also fine. Either way, it's a specific short amount of time.\nWhile I am on the topic, there was a posting today entitled \"A Preliminary Bibliography of the Recent Works on Birkat ha-Chamah\" (give it kavod here (like I did)), which makes for an interesting juxtaposition - the posting there speaks of many books written on this blessing said every 28 years, some of which are hundreds of pages long. On the other hand, Twitter limits messages to 140 characters long. Some of those books were way over 140 pages! Anyways, shabbat shalom and I look forward to embarking on this new opportunity next week.\nLabels: birkat haHamah, Torah, twitter\nTorah on Twitter\nOn Monday, Rabbi Irwin Kula came to speak at our school and brought up the issue of tweeting Torah, suggesting that it will likely elicit in people one of two responses: either one of nauseousness or of opportunity (mine was the latter). (Granted, not many of m y fellow YCTers are on Twitter, and, after passing around Rabbi Kula's tweet about it, there was some backlash against Twitter (not too different from this amusing video), although Twitter has not been a rabbi magnet [yet], so it's not confined to my school.) My first thought was that although there is some Torah on Twitter, most, if not all of it, is simply a providing of links to Torah elsewhere. For instance, @RabbiGreenberg tweets self-containted Torah Tweets, as well as, to some extent, @TorahTweets and @TorahToday. However, most of the Torah Twittering is not self-contained, such as @WebYeshiva, @YUTorah, @JewLearn, @JewishTweets, and @JewItYourself. While this is, to some degree, helpful, it is not confined to Twitter. For me, who gets a lot of tweets to my phone with URLs, if I'm actually interested in checking out the content of the referred link, I can forward that tweet to my email, where I can check it later (unless I am using my computer at that moment, then I can just open up the Twitter page and go from there (meta-comment: looking back in a few years, how outdated/obsolete will this aforementioned be?)). However, what I believe Rabbi Kula was suggesting was a challenge for more divrei Torah (or, what I'm thinking is more manageable, divrei halakhah) on Twitter, itself (without reference for external links). With divrei halakhah, for instance, a very manageable possibility is to do a daily devar halakhah, perhaps for people to stick with a given topic for awhile or to topically do more consistently.\nOh well, we'll see if this is taken up at all. (I held off the entire post about rabbis struggling to limit themselves time-wise, even to 140 seconds, let alone 140 characters, phew.)\nLabels: Torah, twitter\nStill Digging, but Giving Kavod, too\nI joined Digg almost a year and have liked it since then as a place to share material on the Web that I found interesting. I know that there are other similar social news websites out there, but I have chosen to stick with it, as it is one of the more well-known places. However, one thing about which I had been wondering over the past few months was why weren't there more Jews using it or at least Jewish content being dugg? Hopefully that has been ameliorated with the launching of Kavod at JTA, whereby users can submit and vote for online content that they like. As opposed to say, a model like Tzvee's Talmudic Blog (which, btw, doesn't discuss the Talmud much), wherein Tzvee often mentions or simply quotes and links articles. Instead of doing that, he could simply Digg it or give it a Kavod, where relevant, rather than putting a blog post doing the same thing.\nAnyways, I decided that I like the Kavod idea and support it and want to encourage other Jews out there to do the same, as there haven't been so many joining as of yet and taking part. Additionally, I wanted to mention that I am now no longer, for the most part, digging items with Jewish content, but rather putting them on Kavod.\nBack to the Bronx Zoo & Waiting for Ducky [vlog]\nToday, my wife and I went to the Bronx Zoo to walk around, especially since we haven't been there since the summer, as well as to see if we could hasten to getting to labor.\nLabels: Bronx Zoo, vlog\nConsidering the Moral Question in Regards to Women's Rabbinic Ordination: Briefly On Sunday's Dinner\nThis past Sunday, I attended YCT's first ever Evening of Appreciation (the last five years, the school has held Gala Dinners, but, on account, of the economic climate, they opted to scale it back). It was certainly not the same level as in previous years, with noticeable differences being the omission of hors oeuvres (with the exception of a little fruit) and the lack of an outside band (some students who played well accounted for the evening's musical accompaniment).\nAside from the entertaining remarks by Howard Jonas, the news-making element of the evening was the panel of several alumni fielding questions from the audience. Gary Rosenblatt, the editor-in-chief of the Jewish Week, wrote an article entitled \"Orthodox Women\u2019s Ordination? Even Rabbis Are Split\", referring to a question posed to the panel if there was any moral impediment to women becoming rabbis (Bargain Jewess referred to it as \"a question that will shock many and while there are many more pressing issues on the table it is something to think about as the dynamics of our community change.\"). Here is what he wrote about it:\nAlexander Kaye, rabbinic assistant at Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on the Upper East Side, elicited applause from many among the more than 300 people in attendance with his one-word reply: \u201cNone.\u201d\nBut his fellow panelists were not as certain, with Adam Scheier, senior rabbi of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim in Montreal, and Saul Strosberg, rabbi of Sherith Israel in Nashville, Tenn., noting that while the ordination of Orthodox women may be a burning issue in the New York community, it did not have the same sense of urgency among their congregants.\nLater in the discussion, Rabbi Kaye amplified his earlier response, asserting that while there may be strategic and political reasons for not having Orthodox women rabbis, he felt there was no moral basis for it.\nThe panel, as reflected above, was not unanimous. However, the question of morality in regards to women's ordination or not still is open. One of my schoolmates wrote the following (who permitted me to quote it here from a larger piece):\nI personally do not feel egalitarianism is a moral imperative (I'm okay with roles) and if one does see it as a moral imperative, then as I've said in the past, then one should not be orthodox....since for a principled egalitarian Orthodoxy is an amoral system (that can only be pushed so far) and one should not lead, participate, or even affiliate with a system that is so antithetical to their definitions of morality. Also, I do not understand what is so bad about creating a leadership role for woman just as there has been for men for thousands of years. Why do we have to make her role have the same title as what has historically been a man's title? There is nothing magic about the title.....a new title will mean whatever role women play in Orthodox Judaism's future both based on the perception of the masses and the actual actions of women.\nMorality is not merely an academic ivory tower construct. Issues of morality cannot be separated from the real conditions to which the idea is related. Decisions to act upon our moral constructs and arrival to what is the moral action or decision must be tied to what will be the practical implications of the moral construct. The socio/political implications of what we conceive as moral actions is integral to arriving at what is the moral thing to do. This means, in my opinion, that in the case of Sarah Hurwitz, the practical implications for musmachim, YCT, and the congregants of synagogues led by YCT musmachim must be considered in arriving at what is the moral decision. If by doing this, musmachim may lose jobs, if congregants will feel betrayed, if congregations who want to be seen as orthodox will no longer be seen as orthodox will no longer be seen as orthodox, etc., then these issues must be factored into our process of what is the moral decision. To many Orthodox Jews, their standing and belonging to the Orthodox community is an important value and crucial to their Jewish identity. To jeopardize what these congregants believe to have important spiritual and practical value must be considered. We cannot do whatever we want just because we believe it is right. As leaders, we have responsibilities to the needs of our congregants. To act and talk publicly without regard to those who have put their trust in us is tyrannical and immoral.\nIt's certainly an interesting response to the moral question.\n\"Twouble with Twitters\" [video]\nThis following video is HILARIOUS! (Yes, I just dugg it.) It's about Twitter (of which I am a member):\nBrief Notes on the Recent Issue of Jewish Action\nIn the recent issue of Jewish Action (Spring 5769/2009) (Volume 69, Number 3), Rabbi Yaakov Luban mistakenly, in his \"Chanetz Sheavar Alav HaPesach: The Supermarket Controversy\" piece, says that it was in \"fourth-century Babylonia when the Talmud was redacted\" (p. 42), when he is actually a couple of centuries off (it was redacted in the sixth century). Update: Rabbi Luban wrote back to me: \"Thanks for catching the error in my article about the date of the redaction of the Talmud. You are absolutely correct. It was the 6th century.\"\nAlso, as usual, Ari Z. Zivotofsky has a great piece in the Legal-Ease section with \"What's the Truth About Ga'al Yisrael?\" (pp. 74-78).\nLabels: Jewish Action\nJewish Telegraphic Agency's Website Adds User-Generated Content Stuff\nJust today, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency's website has added user-generated content software. Announced earlier today, by Daniel Sieradski, that it was launching, there are three new aspects: the first is the blog aggregator, the second is the readers report, and the third is the Kavod bookmarker.\nAlthough the first two should be good, it is the third of these that is something that, to my mind, has been heretofore missing in the Jewish Web 2.0. Akin to Digg, which is the social bookmarking website I use, this should be a great boon to the JBlogosphere.\nSomething I've been recently wondering of late has been why aren't more of my Jewish friends using Digg or BuzzUp or whichever other social bookmarking services to share various articles of online content. Aside from some of my friends on Digg digging various related articles about the recent war in Gaza, it hasn't been used much. Now that Kavod is here (which, by the way, I've added to my posts at the bottom of each), this may help the Jewish social bookmarking/sharing.\nTowards an Appreciation of Ontology for the Modern...\nConsidering the Moral Question in Regards to Women...\nJewish Telegraphic Agency's Website Adds User-Gene...",

        "raw_content": "\u00bb I think I\u2019m ready to give up now\n#1 Monday 21st May 2018 17:04:20\nI think I\u2019m ready to give up now\nI\u2019m a 25 year old teacher with two degrees, good money and a job I love. I\u2019ve known my fair share of hard work, challenges, of coping with failure and springing back, but I have never felt as much as a failure as learning to drive, and I\u2019m not sure if I can do it anymore.\nI\u2019ve failed five driving tests after almost 2 years of driving lessons. My theory test runs out in August and I think that will be the decider of whether or not I continue. I haven\u2019t had a lesson in 3 months, and haven\u2019t contacted my driving instructor since (who is fantastic btw, no fault of her).\nIt\u2019s been two long years of the same cycle. I show up for a test, agonise over it for weeks, fail on one serious or dangerous, usually no or few minors, I feel gutted, go home and spend the next few months of people asking me if I\u2019ve passed yet, why I haven\u2019t passed, how much better I feel when I pass, how it will \u201copen new worlds for me\u201d (said in this condescending manner as if I don\u2019t have a life because I am without a car) or how their 17 year old kid has already passed after only 2 months of driving.\nI\u2019m not exaggerating when I say everyone, I mean everyone, keeps asking. I recently bumped into an old family friend (I haven\u2019t seen them since I was about 10) who asked me if I could drive yet. My next door neighbour speaks to me about nothing but my driving progress, endless work colleagues, family members, friends. Only a small amount of people won\u2019t ask anything about it because they\u2019re close enough to me to know it\u2019s a sensitive topic.\nI understand my problem is absolutely nothing compared to the tragedies that face people everyday, but the whole situation is agonising me. I\u2019ve never had to cope with failure on a level as repetitive as this, I feel like I\u2019m looked down on by even the closest people in my life because I don\u2019t drive. I feel like a drain on their time and petrol if I ask for a lift. In short, I feel utterly, utterly useless.\nCan anyone help me to talk myself off this ledge? I don\u2019t know how to pull myself out of thinking like this.

His family made him feel like S h1t. They basically told him to give up. Told him he'd never pass. Very good driver just had awful nerves on test day. He was physically sick on the street outside the test centre. (Gulping down rescue remedy not a good idea)\nCut a long story short he passed his test second time with me. 10 goes in total but a cracking driver without test day nerves.\nSee him occasionally around town and he still beams about it 3 years on.

Many would be drivers experience this temporary hurdle and go onto make excellent drivers. You need to analyse why you are not being successful with the driving test. There are many reasons for this, nerves, lack of confidence, exhaustion, concentration levels. For instance I had a female client in her 40s who could drive perfectly on lessons but failed 12 tests usually with just one serious fault. The problem I eventually worked out was she could not concentrate for more than an hour and was using it all up in the lesson before the test. She went cold for her 13th test without driving before and passed with 2 minors. Another who came to me, 20 year old, had failed 3 tests and yet could drive perfectly. I observed he next test and she had failed within a 100 metres of the start. Pure nerves, she could not function at all. Beta blockers were the answer and she passed the next test easily.\nThere is always a solution, you just need to find it. Keep on with it and you will get the result you want.",

It was all about potential and after accelerating at terminal velocity, pumping prices of native currencies as ETH, NEO and WAVES, prices cooled off and ultimately crashed in 2018. Of the many coins that didn\u2019t recover from the bear stroke of 2018 was FLik, an ERC20 token.

An extract from court papers read:\n\u201cFelton explained that the devaluation was caused, at least in part, because T.I. had given FLik tokens to members of his family and friends who had sold massive amounts on coinexchange.com causing rapid devaluation.\u201d\nBecause of their earlier involvement and tireless social media shills, users were duped into thinking that the project was a worthwhile investment. As a result, 25 affected investors sued T.I and his associate for $5 million claiming they spent $1.3 million in a \u201cnow worthless securities called FLik tokens.\u201d\nThey go on to say, T.I and his accomplice created fake impressions that Kevin Hart, the Stand-up Comedian, would be the face of the company while Mark Cuban, the multi-billionaire owner of Dallas Mavericks, would invest, pumping prices as a result.\nSEC Cracking the Whip\nWith increasing awareness of what initial coin offerings or crowd funding are coupled with regulator\u2019s decision to intervene, there is reprieve for victims.

        "title": "Magnitude 5.2 Southern California Earthquake - Earthquake Kit Guide",
        "raw_content": "Earthquake Kit Guide > Blog > General > Magnitude 5.2 Southern California Earthquake\nYesterday\u2019s magnitude 5.2 Southern California earthquake is a reminder to everyone that we must all be prepared. The quake happened around 1am on Friday, June 10, 2016 and was centered in a desert northeast of San Diego just northwest of Borrego Springs in San Diego County.\nThe quake was felt from San Diego to parts of Los Angeles as well as far as the Mexican border. It was followed by a series of aftershocks, more than 450, including a magnitude 3.5 earthquake at 4:14am. There were no reports of injuries or significant damage but residents were scared as objects in the house swayed and fell to the floor.\nThis earthquake occurred on the San Jacinto fault which is the most active in the region and is remarkably long as it stretches for 130 miles from Cajon Pass in San Bernardo County toward the Mexican border. There have been 19 magnitude 5.0 or larger quakes on the fault since 1937. The largest was a magnitude 6.6 in 1968 just south of Friday\u2019s quake.\nSeismologist Dr. Lucy Jones said that you can tell if a quake is going to be large based on how long it lasts. Basically, the longer the shake, the larger the quake.\nFor those who are wondering if an earthquake on the San Jacinto would trigger a bigger earthquake on the more famous San Andreas fault, Dr. Jones said:\n\u201cWe have never seen a San Andreas earthquake triggered by a San Jacinto earthquake\u201d\nEven though we haven\u2019t seen the San Jacinto trigger the San Andreas, geologist Julian C. Lozos discovered this past March that the San Andreas and the San Jacinto faults may have ruptured together about 200 years ago that created an earthquake that was felt from just north of LA to San Diego based on historical data.\nLozos said \u201cIf there\u2019s a joint rupture it will create a larger earthquake, especially if it starts on the San Jacinto\u201d\nCourtesy: Geology.com\nJones mentioned \u201cThe mountains are here and they are growing. However we don\u2019t know when in a human lifespan that large earthquake will happen\u201d.\nThe USGS said that the San Andreas fault is due for a major earthquake on average every 150 years. It has been about 250 years since a major earthquake struck the region.\n\u201cWe have twice the average recurrence time. This fault is storing a lot of energy for a big earthquake\u201d Jones said.\nCourtesy: earthquakecountry.org\nPeople are becoming afraid of \u201cThe Big One\u201d so it is changing our approach for earthquake preparedness. More people are preparing now whereas before people were more reactionary and only prepare after a major disaster.\nJones noted \u201cIt used to be that people had to experience something in order to think it can happen to them. But our global society is changing the way we see earthquakes. Think about the earthquake in Japan which triggered a tsunami. Or Nepal. Or New Zealand. Or Haiti. We\u2019re able to see what\u2019s happening to other countries.\u201d\nThat\u2019s why earthquake preparedness is so important. Just like the recent Cascadia Rising drill, we must all make sure we know what to do when a major earthquake strikes. Not only do you have to worry about an earthquake but if the quake is large enough you\u2019ll have to deal with deadly tsunamis as well.\nIgnat June 11, 2016 at 1:11 pm\nWhat you do is more than wonderful. Last year I was in Nepal when an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 killed more than 10,000 people. The memory of this tragedy will never be forgotten and now I realize that if people were prepared for something like that would not have lost so many lives\u2026\nWow\u2026 that must have been a horrific experience. Preparedness is key as we can\u2019t fight against mother nature. Unfortunately there\u2019s no way to stop earthquakes so we just have to deal with them by being prepared.\nTalk about rock and roll. From the video it looked like it didn\u2019t last that long but I know if I were there it probably would have woke me up. I say that as someone who has never experienced a major earthquake, only some very minor ones that felt like a large truck jumping after hitting a bump in the road.\nBut no matter where you live, being prepared for any natural disaster is important. Where I live in the northeast of the U.S. we sometimes get hit with hurricanes in the spring/summer or blizzards in the winter. Being prepared has saved me a lot of anguish when disaster struck.\nBut I know being prepared for a hurricane & blizzard is different because you have early warning. An earthquake just happens so being prepared year round is even more important. Regardless of the disaster always being prepared is the best way to live. I guess it would be similar to my \u201cbug-out\u201d bag I have with a change of clothes and extra supplies ready to go.\nThat\u2019s awesome Robert. I\u2019m glad that you are prepared and have a bug-out bag. Yes, earthquake preparedness is a bit different than hurricane preparedness because we don\u2019t get early warnings as we do with hurricanes so we have to be prepared all the time.\nIt\u2019s always a good idea to know what to do during an earthquake anyway even if you don\u2019t live in an earthquake zone because you never know whether you\u2019ll ever travel to one.\nWow!!! Living in Australia, we have a fairly stable tectonic plate. In saying that though, we do suffer from a number of other natural disasters.\nAs you have alluded to in this and other articles, being prepared is the key!\nYup preparedness is key. Australia actually had a pretty big earthquake a few years ago near Ayers Rock. It was a magnitude 5.9",

        "title": "Psychology and Philosophy \u2013 Uneasy Siblings | East Georgia State College",
        "raw_content": "Tagged aspect of philosophy, philosophy help, psychology and philosophy\t September 17, 2018 January 16, 2019\nMost of us who work in some aspect of philosophy have had the experience of trying to explain to someone that philosophy is not psychology. To those members of the philosophical set, the distinction may seem obvious, but any attempt to spell it out requires some careful thought and reflection, which is what I attempt to do in this exercise.\nIs Psychology a sibling of Philosophy? Surely in the past they were close siblings, members of the same family, philosophy. Today the relationship between the two is more problematic. Does work in philosophy have any relation to the student\u2019s psychological state? The answer also is not a clear-cut one. Philosophy can help a person psychologically, but this is not central to the function of philosophy.\nHistorically in Western Philosophy, Psychology was part of philosophy until the 19th century when it became a separate science. In the 17th and 18th centuries, many Western philosophers did pioneering work in areas that later came to be known as \u201cpsychology.\u201d Eventually psychological inquiry and research became separate sciences some of which could be characterized as the study and research into the mind. In short, psychology became identified as the science of mind insofar as its function is to analyze and explain mental processes: our thoughts, experiences, sensations, feelings, perceptions, imaginations, creativity, dreams and so on. It is mostly an empirical and experimental science; although the field of psychology does include the more theoretical Freudian psychology and the more speculative Jungian psychology.\nWhen we study Western Philosophy, we find a concentrated effort to maintain a distinction between philosophical and psychological considerations. But these have not always been kept separate. Even today some areas of philosophy remain intermixed with psychological considerations. It may be that some forms of philosophy can never break away completely from psychological issues.\nTraditionally, philosophers in the Western tradition did not always observe a wall of separation between philosophy and psychology. For example, Baruch Spinoza\u2019s great work, Ethics, includes many observations and insights about our reasoning processes and emotions. The early works in Epistemology (theory of knowledge) by such thinkers as Rene Descartes, John Locke, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant include a great deal of observations and statements about mental processes connected with knowing and belief. In other words, these writings tend to mix psychological statements (process of knowing) with conceptual philosophy.\nBut there are differences between psychology and philosophy which are significant and should be observed in careful writing in either area. In our critiques of these 17th and 18th works in epistemology, we try to separate the philosophical theme (logic, conceptual and propositional evaluation) from the psychological aspect (causes of belief, mental process underlying perception). Scientific work that seeks to understand and explain the workings of the brain and the neurological processes which underlie thought and experience (viz., psychology) is different from philosophical inquiry into mind, consciousness, knowledge and experiences. Edmund Husserl, the founder of phenomenology, takes great pains to keep his philosophy separate from empirical psychology. But it is not clear that his analysis (or other analyses) of the phenomenology of different experiences remains something clearly distinct from psychology.\nBut in large part the problem remains, especially in such areas of philosophy of mind, of keeping philosophical work free of psychology altogether. Moreover, we should not assume that in all cases these must be kept separate, as some work in philosophy surely requires consideration of the psychological sciences.\nEven today the student will likely be surprised by the number of psychological insights that Spinoza offers in this great work, Ethics, back in the 17th century and similar psychological observations by Friedrich Nietzsche in the 19th century. William James, the great American pragmatist, includes much psychology in his philosophy. He has much to say about the stream of consciousness and special experiences, such as religious experiences.\nPhilosophy of mind: There is a sense in which the mind is a psychological construct; there\u2019s another sense in which it is not. \u201cMy mind is such and such\u201d can be restated as \u201cmy thinking is such and such.\u201d Sometimes it is the psychology behind my thinking that is the issue; but other times we\u2019re interested in what could be called the conceptual-propositional issues; and still other times we might be more interested in the literary-artistic expression of ideas, values, and perspectives. (In this latter connection, see Walter Kaufmann\u2019s book, Discovering The Mind.)\nIn Epistemology we\u2019re concerned with the concept of knowledge; but our primary interest is not one of describing the psychology of knowing. Our interest is not in the process by which we come to know something, but in the clarification of concepts associated with knowledge and belief; and in the logic of propositions related to knowledge. Included among the philosophers who engage in the philosophy of knowledge are Bertrand Russell, D.W. Hamlyn, and Richard Rorty.\nIn the area of academic philosophy, besides the large field of epistemology, we have philosophy of mind, theory of consciousness, philosophy of language, Cartesian Idealism, and the free will issue. Ordinarily these are not seen as forms of psychological inquiry. They are more directed to conceptual and propositional issues. Included among the philosophers who engage in work on knowledge, language, and mind in this vein are Ludwig Wittgenstein, Gilbert Ryle, D.W. Hamlyn, John Austin, and Daniel Dennett\nBut psychology is very much a part of those philosophical studies of special experience, such as the religious experience, the mystical experience, and even moral experience. A good representative of this approach is the great American pragmatist, William James. Much of his work in philosophy does not stray too far from his psychological interests.\nSome aspects of philosophy are concerned with the nature of human thought. This interest is distinct from psychological study, description and theory. But to be adequate and credible it needs to take into account the work of psychologists and the cognitive scientists. The subject of human thought is a big topic which can be approached from different directions. One of these is philosophy; another is psychology and the cognitive sciences. Still others are literary art, the fine arts, and history.\nSuppose I ask about Spinoza\u2019s thought with regard to moral obligation; how does he defend the thesis that morality and rationality are closely intertwined? As a student of philosophy, my interests could be strictly philosophical interests. I want to know how he develops and defends his philosophical thesis. On the other hand, I could be curious about the causes of Spinoza\u2019s thinking; or maybe interested in possible motives that he might have had for adopting his particular philosophy. What events in his childhood or family life led him to embrace the values of rationality and the ideals of the geometric method? In this latter case, I would be proceeding as an amateur, folk psychologist.\nThere are different ways of trying to understand the thought of a person, e.g. a writer or a philosopher. We take one way when we ask about the causes and motivations behind the person\u2019s ideas; i.e., we ask about the psychological \u2018workings.\u2019 Another way is to do philosophical criticism and evaluation of the person\u2019s ideas. But the two (psychology and philosophy) can be combined in a single study.\nPhilosophy and the psychological well-being of the individual:\nAnother way of considering the interaction of psychology and philosophy is at the personal level. Do a person\u2019s meditation on philosophical questions bring about (or bring closer) some degree of psychic harmony? To the extent that philosophical work and thought contribute to a person\u2019s sense of well-being and fulfillment, one could argue that philosophy is a form of therapy. Is there a sense in which philosophy can be therapeutic?\nIf the unexamined life is not worth living (Socrates), then it may follow that the examined life (the \u201cphilosophical life\u201d) is worth living. This could be seen as suggesting that philosophical thought results in a form of personal fulfillment and good psychological health.\nContrary to this we have the view (mostly the prevailing view) that philosophy is an intellectual discipline which has little or nothing to do with anyone\u2019s striving to achieve some form of personal, psychic fulfillment. Add to this the fact that most people who work in philosophy (e.g. academic philosophers or professors of philosophy) are not especially noteworthy for lives of psychic well-being. In this regard, think of people like Blaise Pascal, S. Kierkegaard, F. Nietzsche and Ludwig Wittgenstein. How psychologically healthy and well balanced were they? They were emotionally and mentally tormented, and won\u2019t be mentioned much as models of psychic calm and well-being. Moreover, some philosophers are driven to engage in philosophy, much like artists, poets, and composers are driven to do their creative work. Here we have a form of psychological compulsion that does not seem to be a form of therapy. In fact, some people even refer to philosophy as a type of disease.\nThe student of philosophy usually is not a psychologist, but nothing says that the student cannot proceed as a psychologist of sorts. I imagine situations in we attempt to get clear about our thoughts and values; and attempt to be honest about our motivations for all that we do. People used to say back in the 1960s era: I\u2019m just trying to get my \u201chead straight.\u201d\nSuppose that a psychologist can tell me about the causes, the mental processes, and hidden motives that underlie my thinking and behavior. He might say that in order to truly understand what I am about I must have some understanding of these \u201cpsychological\u201d things; i.e., I must acknowledge and expose them. If I were to accept his advice and try to do those things, would I be acting in accordance with the Socratic maxim to \u201cknow thyself\u201d?\nThe professional is concerned with empirical, descriptive psychology and with research into neurological and psychological processes. But we, the amateurs, are primarily indulging a form of folk psychology: Trying to say what I think about my own thinking. Or trying to deal better with my psychic life. Sometimes I apply this \u2018folk psychology\u2019 to myself (I try to figure out what I\u2019m about) or to others (I try to understand their motives for saying such and such or doing so and so.)\nOn a more practical level, we can imagine someone asking: \u201cWhat do I really want in life? How do I get there?\u201d Can philosophy help us here? Maybe not, but then again think of two of our great figures in Western Philosophy, Socrates and Spinoza. They are often cited as models of psychological harmony and wisdom. Ultimately, aren\u2019t we all psychologists to some degree, even those of us who flounder about in philosophy? Yes, we are to some degree \u2018psychologists\u2019 insofar as we are awake, alert, conscientious, and honestly engage in self-examination. This does not need to be kept separate from our work in philosophy.",

And she\u2019s not going to stay quiet about it.\nShe opens up the airwaves on her radio show and discovers an even worse truth: the guy who drugged them was going to force them into prostitution. Then Gabby\u2019s friend Bree never makes it home from a party, and Gabby fears the worst.\nGabby reaches out to the guy who saved her, the gorgeous stranger she knows only as X. As they dive into the seedy underworld of Miami, searching for Bree, they can\u2019t ignore their undeniable attraction. Until Gabby discovers the truth about who X really is and the danger that surrounds him. Can their love survive the light of day?\nLight of Day is a companion novel to On the Edge, as both books are set in the same world and feature similar premises. But this can be read as a standalone, even if you haven't read On the Edge. I've read both, and I think I enjoyed this one a little more.\nGabby is introduced to the seedy side of the city when she takes it upon herself to find her missing friend, who has apparently become part of a prostitution ring - according to the mysterious guy Gabby meets one night at a club. He introduces himself as X, and agrees to help Gabby find Bree. But as Gabby goes deeper into things she has no idea about, she realizes how much danger she's in. And that X isn't exactly who she thought he was.\nGabby struck me as quite naive, similar to the female protagonist of On the Edge. She has a good sense of morals, though, and a lot of courage. Gabby and X work well together, and though we don't get to know much about X, I really liked what we saw. He's not an undercover cop like Gabby assumed he was, and that was pretty obvious from the beginning. X is part of the connection between the two books, and towards the end we even get cameos from the protagonists of On the Edge, which was awesome.\nI definitely could have done without the high school drama, though. It took away most of the seriousness of the issue of the plot, which is the sex trafficking of girls in Miami. There was pettiness and bitchiness and other random high school issues. I liked Gabby's high school friend group and the Zombie Apocalypse Survival Club (I think that's what it's called), but that setting would have worked better in a lighter-themed novel.\nThere were a couple of surprises and twists that were unexpected, so I was glad about that. But like I said in my review for On the Edge, I wish there was more on the trafficking premise and what the Destinos gang is doing to help. Too much of the novel's focus was on Gabby's high school and her romance with X. On the whole, though, I liked reading Light of Day and I hope the author writes more books set in this world.\nLabels: Allison van Diepen, ARC, Young Adult",

        "raw_content": "Doctoral student develops a way to post messages on Twitter using mind\nBrain-computer interface uses electrical impulses generated by thought\nTwitter simpler than e-mail, and format is good fit for new technology, prof says\nDevelopment could be a lifeline for people with paralysis, \"locked-in\" syndrome\n(CNN) -- Adam Wilson posted two messages on Twitter on April 15. The first one, \"GO BADGERS,\" might have been sent by any University of Wisconsin-Madison student cheering for the school team.\nThe brain-computer interface allows people to compose a tweet by focusing on the desired letter.\nHis second post, 20 minutes later, was a little more unusual: \"SPELLING WITH MY BRAIN.\"\nWilson, a doctoral student in biomedical engineering, was confirming an announcement he had made two weeks earlier -- his lab had developed a way to post messages on Twitter using electrical impulses generated by thought.\nThat's right, no keyboards, just a red cap fitted with electrodes that monitor brain activity, hooked up to a computer flashing letters on a screen. Wilson sent the messages by concentrating on the letters he wanted to \"type,\" then focusing on the word \"twit\" at the bottom of the screen to post the message.\nThe development could be a lifeline for people with \"locked-in syndrome\" -- whose brains function normally but who cannot speak or move because of injury or disease.\nWilson and his supervisor, Justin Williams, made the breakthrough last month after hearing a question posed on the radio. Watch a demonstration of the technology \u00bb\n\"Wouldn't it be great if you could Twitter just by thinking about it?\"\nThat query sparked what Williams called the \"a-ha moment.\"\n\"We can do that,\" said Williams, an assistant professor and the principal investigator at the lab in Madison, Wisconsin. \"We can do that tomorrow.\"\nIn the end, it wasn't quite \"tomorrow,\" Williams said, but Wilson had written the software to link existing technology with Twitter \"within a couple of days\" of starting on the project in March.\nHe sent Williams his first \"tweet\" -- or message -- from the brain-computer interface on March 31. Watch Dr. Gupta explain how it works \u00bb\n\"I had set up my phone to get Twitter updates, and I walked in my door and got this message, and I knew it was really possible,\" he told CNN by phone. \"My wife was sitting there, and I showed her the message and she immediately got excited about it -- and it's rare that I come home from work and she gets excited about what I have been doing.\"\nThat's because using the brain to post Twitter messages is potentially much more than an academic exercise or a party trick -- it could help paralyzed people communicate.\nScientists warn of rapid-fire media dangers\nHawking a role model for ALS patients\n\"These are people who have ALS, like Stephen Hawking, or they have a brainstem stroke, or a high spinal-cord injury,\" Williams explained. \"There is nothing wrong with these people's brains. It's a normal person, locked into a lifeless, useless body.\" (The British physicist Hawking has ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.)\nHundreds of thousands of people suffer from locked-in syndrome, Williams estimated.\nMany of them want just the kind of ability the brain-Twitter project seems to offer, said Kevin Otto, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Purdue University in Indiana.\n\"The interesting thing about this project is they are directly addressing some of the patient desires,\" he said. \"A lot of people think [locked-in patients] want to walk and want fancy prosthetics, but a lot of times what they want are bladder control and basic communication skills.\"\nOtto, who was not involved in the University of Wisconsin project, called it \"a very important incremental step to take two existing technologies and marry them together like this.\"\nWilliams had been working on brain-computer interface technology \"for many years,\" he told CNN, before the idea to use Twitter.\n\"The technology we were developing was 10 or more years down the line, so we started wondering, 'Is there something we can do now?' \"\nHis lab at the University of Wisconsin -- like those at Brown University, Purdue and the Wadsworth Center in Albany, New York, among others -- is developing ways for locked-in people to communicate. Projects range from manipulating a cursor on a computer screen to operating a robotic arm, and they can include devices physically implanted into a brain.\nBut the Twitter project has a lot of advantages, Williams said.\n\"Twitter fits so many of our needs and patients' capabilities,\" he said. \"Their first interest is in being able to communicate in a normal fashion, and at a distance.\"\nTwitter is simpler than e-mail, he said.\n\"If I am locked in and I want to e-mail someone, the format is all wrong. You have to be able to select recipients and group them, copy, paste, send. ... We don't think about that much as normal people, but it can become unmanageable.\n\"Twitter takes care of all those things. They just have to get [the message] to a location where people can come and find it,\" he said.\nLocked-in people communicating by tweet might have followers who don't even realize they are disabled, Williams said.\n\"Nobody's going to notice that the person at the other end is disabled. They might not have any idea. And that might be very empowering for people,\" he said.\nMayoClinic.com: ALS\nThe interface is not unlike the method the French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby used to dictate his novel \"The Diving Bell and the Butterfly\" -- later turned into a movie -- after a massive stroke left him paralyzed except for his left eyelid. Bauby's caregivers recited letters of the alphabet; he blinked when he heard the one he wanted and they wrote them down.\nThe brain-Twitter application flashes letters on a screen while the user, wearing a cap fitted with electrodes, concentrates on a letter.\n\"When the letter that you are concentrating on flashes, we can pick that up,\" Williams said.\nWilliams declined to say how soon the interface could be available commercially, noting it has not yet been used by anyone with locked-in syndrome.\n\"I'd hate to speculate about things being on the market,\" he said. \"Adam [Wilson] is going to graduate in May, and his next role is to start preclinical trials with subjects in New York and Germany.\"\nBut Williams said he is excited about the development.\n\"We were interested in seeing what we could do right now to help people,\" he said. \"The field has come far enough that we need to start getting to people in their homes.\"\nCNN senior medical producer Shahreen Abedin contributed to this report.\nAll About Twitter Inc. \u2022 University of Wisconsin",

The laws prohibit blocking, degrading, slowing down or giving preferential treatment to users, The Times of India reported.\nIndia has long pushed for net neutrality laws, which follow the principle that all traffic on the internet should be treated equally. In November, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India reportedly recommended that internet access in the country remain non-discriminatory, and that there be no throttling, blocking or preferential treatment.\n\"Any deviations and violations of the rules of net neutrality \u2014 which come into effect almost immediately \u2014 will be met with stiff penalties,\" Department of Telecommunications secretary Aruna Sundararajan told The Times of India.\nThe Department of Telecommunications didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.\nThere are some exceptions to the laws. New and emerging services like autonomous driving and telemedicine are exempt, as they could require faster internet, according to The Times of India.\nIn 2016, India's telecom regulator rejected a plan by Facebook to provide free access to certain Internet services controlled by the social network. The government stopped the program over concerns that Facebook violated net neutrality by providing only select online content for free.\nIn the US, net neutrality has been met with a different fate, as the laws were repealed last month. Some states, like California, are looking to pass their own net neutrality protections.\nHow Apple\u2019s app store changed our world",

He\u2019s driven my niece and nephew around after a few beers.\nDo I respond, \"No,\" explaining that I feel she doesn't want us there?\nOr, do I reply \"Yes\" so I don't have to worry about my whole family being angry with me?\nYou\u2019re an involved aunt despite these squabbles, and for the sake of her children and all the family, you should attend the wedding.\nIt\u2019s obvious to your sister that you disapprove of her groom. Yet you\u2019ll accomplish nothing by just showing attitude.\nShe needs a sister who\u2019s seen as a voice of reason.\nYou\u2019ll then be able to gently discuss concerns about his driving when drinking, which puts her kids, her, and anyone else at risk.\nYou don\u2019t want the whole family angry at you for not attending, because your opinions can then be ignored or misunderstood, especially if you express them unwisely.\nExplaining her actions on Facebook wasn\u2019t your responsibility\u2026 that was up to her to do.\nInstead, you could\u2019ve advised her that people misunderstood and suggested that she might want to explain.\nShe\u2019s lucky to have a sister who cares, which I believe you do. Don\u2019t push her away.\nFEEDBACK Regarding the young gay man who was unsure about whether to come out to his homophobic parents (Aug. 16):\nReader \u2013 \u201cStatements such as \u201cdisrespecting their values\u201d and \u201cdoing the least harm\u201d are classic ways of thinking that put the problem on being gay.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not his fault that he\u2019s gay. It\u2019s not his fault that his parents are bigots. Making it out that he\u2019s the problem is a way of thinking that leads so many good LGBT+ people to suicide.\n\u201cHe\u2019s a scared young man in a difficult situation. He needs to get out of that toxic house as fast as possible. Perhaps living with the boyfriend\u2019s parents is an option?\u201d\nEllie \u2013 You make a good point about moving in with his boyfriend if possible, rather than stay in his bigoted parents\u2019 home. But he owes them $15,000 and can pay it off by living there instead of paying rent. That\u2019s the \u201cproblem\u201d described, not the fact of his being gay with which he\u2019s comfortable.\nHe\u2019s certainly not to \u201cblame\u201d for being gay. Like you, I hold no such uninformed concepts and wouldn\u2019t accept that thought from anyone else either.\nBut I do appreciate your concern for the sensitivity of young people who are afraid to come out to family.\nThe phrase about \u201cdisrespecting their values\u201d was suggested as the kind of opinion he might hear as to why he should just speak up about who he is.\nI encouraged his own ability to make that decision because it\u2019s clear that his inner confidence is strong, and that living with his parents has become understandably unbearable.\nFEEDBACK Regarding the wife whose bipolar husband created a $30,000 debt in their joint account, by his secretly spending on games and hobbies (August 21):\nReader \u2013 \u201cThis woman needs to learn more about her husband's illness.\n\u201cPeople jokingly talk about \u201cretail therapy\u201d but for those with bipolar disorder it\u2019s no joke.\n\u201cIf she cannot accept his disorder, then their relationship is doomed.\n\u201cThis doesn't mean caving into the disorder\u2019s manifestations - behaviour boundaries need to be set and maintained.\n\u201cAlso, there\u2019s a genetic aspect to the disorder, something she should be aware of before deciding to have children with this man (he wants her to get pregnant by next year).\n\u201cShe needs mental health counseling to learn what she has in store if she stays and how she can help.\n\u201cMedication for his condition is only the starting point.\u201d\nEllie \u2013 There are support groups for people with bipolar disorder, including some for family and friends.\nAttend a sibling\u2019s wedding?

        "raw_content": "Who said what after the Canadian Grand Prix\nRead what the drivers and teams had to say after the Canadian Grand Prix\nNineteen of the 22 cars finished the Canadian Grand Prix \u00a9 Sutton Images\nCharles Pic 18th\n\"My start was ok but into the first corner I had to brake early to avoid hitting one of the cars ahead and lost a couple of places. We went onto the mediums for the second stint and they held up well. The car balance kept improving as we went through the race and we stuck to the plan, pitting for the last time on lap 37 so we could run a long final stint to the flag. With about ten laps left I caught and passed Chilton and was given the instruction to push to the flag. From that point I couldn't really gain on the car ahead so I just made sure we got to the end without any issues and finished the race 18th.\"\nGiedo van der Garde DNF\n\"Today wasn't a good day for me. I want to say sorry to Mark for the incident we had and I'll make sure I learn from the stewards' decision on the five-place penalty for the next race. Sometimes you make mistakes, but the important thing is to accept them, learn from them and move on. In the race itself I had a great start, passed four cars and was up to 17th by lap two. We'd started on the supersofts and the first set were done pretty quickly so we boxed on lap eight for a set of mediums and my pace on those for the first few laps was ok. I'm not sure why but not long into the stint the tyre temperatures started coming down and my laptimes dropped straight away. It was pretty frustrating as there was nothing I could do to get them to work so I just had to keep pushing on. On lap 33 I came back in for another set of mediums but then I had to box for the stop / go I had from the contact with Mark. The temperatures went straight up after the penalty and I had to come back in almost immediately so we could check the car and they found a visor tear-off in one of the radiators which had been causing problems for most of the race. Shortly after that I was heading towards the hairpin with Hulkenberg alongside. I moved over for him but he turned in in front of me in the braking zone and we made contact and that was the end of my race.\"\n\"A very bad day for us, to say the least. Since the start of the weekend we had a feeling that the race would be difficult for a number of reasons. First, in terms of aerodynamic setup, we never managed to find the right compromise between top speed and downforce with the parts available. We spent a lot of time on this issue, maybe losing sight of other important areas like the tyres and to what extent the very different weather conditions we had on the earlier part of the weekend and on Sunday and how dramatically that would affect tyre behaviour in the race. This is an area we must particularly investigate as our direct competitors went for a different strategy that clearly gave them an edge. The high tyre degradation, especially on Giedo's car, meant that he received his first blue flag very early in the race and that contributed to the unfortunate events in the race that we never want to see as a team. Today's race in Canada put a rather radical stop to the positive trend we have seen since Bahrain, and we have to reverse that for Silverstone and come back fighting there. We will have new parts for the British Grand Prix and we're running another aero test next week, so we hopefully have the chance to make amends.\"\nFernando Alonso 2nd\n\"At the end of an extremely complicated weekend, this second place tastes like a win, because we were competitive and managed to fight with the front running drivers. You never feel in danger with them, because, even wheel to wheel at 320 kilometres per hour, they have the necessary intelligence and experience to know to leave a margin of safety. The overtaking moves on the two Mercedes had an almost identical dynamic, although maybe the pass on Hamilton was more intense because we were running at the same pace, while with Rosberg, I knew it was only a matter of the laps going by, thanks to the advantage of having the Medium tyres, while he was on the Supersoft. In terms of points this is a great result: now we only have Vettel ahead of us, who was untouchable here and deserved the victory. Even if he has increased his lead, there's still a long way to go in the championship and there's plenty of time to catch up. I don't know if I could have done better if I'd started further up. Qualifying, even in the wet, is our weak point and an aspect we absolutely must improve on: we are working very hard on that, both back home and at the track.\"\nFelipe Massa 8th\n\"I am very happy with my race today, which was a real battle from start to finish. After going off the track yesterday, I knew it wouldn't be easy starting from sixteenth place, but I also knew I had a good car and I tackled the race on the attack, managing to pull off several nice passing moves. However, because of a problem with graining, I lost precious time behind Sutil in the Force India: that's why I think a strategy based on using two sets of Medium tyres would have seen me gain at least one or two places. Even if I can't be satisfied with this result it was still a positive day, in which we showed we had a good pace and that we were able to fight. Now I'm looking ahead to the next race with a lot of confidence, because Silverstone is very similar to Shanghai and Barcelona, where our car worked very well\".\n\"Today, we absolutely had to make up for the difficult day we had yesterday, because we knew the more normal weather would allow us to demonstrate our true potential. The podium was in our sights and we can claim to have hit the target, in a race that was complicated from start to finish by our grid positions. Fernando produced an absolutely extraordinary performance, especially when taking into account that today, our competitors operated at a really high level. Felipe also showed exactly what he could do: managing to bring home points after starting from the back was the best response to those who felt he was affected by the unfortunate incidents of the last few days. I must congratulate the winners, because even if it's easier to get the job done when starting at the front, it's also true that they managed to produce a perfect qualifying, a task which we know we must improve on. Today's race demonstrated how two of our closest rivals, Red Bull and Mercedes, have managed to make a step forward and that's the same direction we are working in, so that we can be contenders right to the end of the Championship\".\nPat Fry, technical director\n\"The long straights and the DRS zones at the Montreal track, which usually help with overtaking, meant we were hopeful of being able to race up the order, while aware that starting from sixth and sixteenth would not make that an easy task, especially as the performance levels of the front runners were very similar today. Fernando got a great start and managed to pass Bottas, moving up to fifth. From then on, he did an amazing job of managing his tyres, pushing at the most opportune moments which brought him in touch with the leaders. The climb up to second place was a performance worthy of his talent, with some daring passing moves, like the one on Hamilton. Felipe fought hard all race long, also pulling off several overtaking moves, including a very important one on Raikkonen right at the end. Maybe if we had opted to fit Mediums at his first stop, Felipe could have gained another place. From the pit wall, we had to manage the race for both drivers in very different track conditions to what we experienced in the past couple of days and all in all, after all the difficulties we encountered yesterday, it was a good result. Now, our priority is still to improve our qualifying performance and on this front, we will try to do that right from the next race in Silverstone\".\nPaul di Resta 7th\n\"To finish the race in seventh having started 17th is a great result and a top job by the team. I didn't manage to get any long run data on Friday so it feels extra sweet to make this one-stop strategy work with a very long stint on the mediums. It also feels good to come back so strong after a difficult qualifying session. The tyres lasted very well, the lap times were competitive and the team told me it was my decision about when to make my stop. As soon as I felt the tyres starting to drop off, I came in. Then it was a case of looking after the supersofts for the final few laps.\"\nAdrian Sutil 10th\n\"That race was quite an adventure so it's good to come away with a point given everything that happened. I had a spin when I tried to overtake Bottas, which cost me quite a few positions and I was lucky nobody hit me when I was in the middle of the track. I dropped back and the pack was bunched together, which is when Maldonado ran into the back of me and damaged my rear wing. Even with all those things I was running in eighth until the drive-through penalty. I don't think it was a fair penalty because I too had to lap so many cars today and it sometimes took one or two laps, and that's normal for this circuit. The penalty cost me two positions and three points.\"\n\"It's great to see both our cars in the points at our 100th Grand Prix. It brings our tally to 51 points and strengthens our fifth position in the championship. Paul showed his fighting spirit with a remarkable drive to seventh with just one stop. The car had great pace and he looked after his medium compound tyres extremely well. I don't think anybody thought there were 56 laps in those tyres but he pulled it out of the bag. Adrian's afternoon was rather more eventful, but it was a disappointment to pick up the penalty in the closing laps so it's something we need to review. Overall I think we should be pleased with the outcome after a challenging weekend. The car remains competitive and we can hopefully carry our form into our local race at Silverstone at the end of the month.\"\nKimi Raikkonen 9th\n\"My race didn't start very well and then my brakes were fading with the pedal going soft; similar to the problem we had on Friday. It wasn't ideal but at least the brakes were good enough to slow me down for the corners. Unfortunately though it meant I lost a lot of time and wasn't able to attack, plus we lost a few seconds in the pit stop which obviously didn't help either. Most of my race was just following the cars in front and defending from those behind, so not the most enjoyable day nor the most enjoyable result. It's been a bad weekend, but at least we scored a few points.\"\nRomain Grosjean 13th\n\"It was always going to be a tough race coming from the back, but it's still disappointing to miss out on the points. Things were looking good until we switched to the option tyres, but they dropped off far quicker than we expected which forced us to stop again. Sadly that effectively put an end to our race as by that time there was no way back. After a promising start on Friday it's not been the best weekend, but we had good pace last year at Silverstone so we'll come back looking to put things right.\"\n\"Today was certainly character building. On the plus side, Romain drove a measured and mature race through the field and should have finished in the points had we not had to make a second stop, which wasn't to our original plan. Kimi had a frustrating day, but still scored some points. We couldn't show the pace we wanted this weekend and will be all the more focused when we get to Silverstone as we are obviously very keen to get our championship challenge back on track.\"\n\"We clearly haven't been quick enough all weekend and we'll go back to Enstone to analyse why. We'll then react to those conclusions and hopefully get ourselves back up to where we want to be, which is fighting for podiums and wins. We have an aero test before Silverstone, a new bodywork package and other tweaks to come so there is plenty of potential to improve. We simply weren't quick enough this weekend.\"\nJules Bianchi 17th\n\"It was good to be able to enjoy a dry race today because we were back on the pace we were showing earlier in the weekend in similar conditions. It was a little bit daunting to know we were planning a one stop strategy and would have to go so long on the Medium tyre, but my engineers and I kept in close contact and worked together to ensure we could manage the tyre life as we needed to. Although we had to be quite careful, in the end we got to 40 laps no problem, although it was good to switch to the Supersoft and be able to secure position. I think the result is quite pleasing and we are back where we need to be in terms of the competition. We hope for good things from our next step in Silverstone, where we will be aiming for a good performance in an important race for the Team.\"\nMax Chilton 19th\n\"We got a good start but struggled on the first lap, then after a few laps we were able to see that our strategy was going to play out well for us. We started on the Medium tyre and ran long for just under 40 laps. I was quite pleased with how well we were managing the tyres even late on in that stint, so a good job from my engineers who were working with me to achieve that, enabling me to still be able to push hard on the last few laps before we pitted for the Supersoft. The early part of the second stint worked well but later on I was struggling with the tyre wear and I wasn't able to defend my position from Pic. It was good to add to our tally of two-car finishes though and we can feel optimistic as we head towards a very important race for the Team and for me - our home race, the British Grand Prix.\"\n\"It was quite a tough morning for the engineers who were working with less data than we would normally have collected on the dry tyres over the course of the weekend here. Determining our starting tyre and overall strategy was always going to be tough. The opening laps of the race didn't quite go as planned and we lost ground on the prime tyre, which suffered with warm-up. At this point it did feel like perhaps we hadn't started the race the right way, however both the drivers and engineers did a good job to hold their nerve and allow the much improved durability of the prime tyre to show over the option tyre. We never expected for this to be a particularly good race for us but we've been working hard on improving our tyre wear life and we reaped the benefit of this focus with our first stint of around 40 laps. That really enabled us to gain good track position on the Caterhams. With a total of only two pit stops for the Team today we knew that each had to count and the mechanics did a fantastic job to service both cars in a quick time. Really then it was about managing the wear life on the Supersoft tyre and getting both cars to the end of the race. Overall we can be pleased that we have made progress at what has traditionally been a less than favourable circuit for our cars. We leave Canada pleased and in good spirits as we prepare for our home Grand Prix in three weeks' time.\"\nJenson Button 12th\n\"This wasn't the best race for us as a team. It's particularly tough because this circuit is usually very good to us. With hindsight, I think we'd have been better off starting on the Prime tyre, rather than the Option. During my first stint, all the two-stoppers pitted ahead of me, then came back to overtake me, so it was a bit tricky. However, we showed today that, irrespective of strategy, we wouldn't have gone any faster. Our car tends to work better on fast and flowing circuits - such as Malaysia or China - so I'm looking forward to my home race at Silverstone at the end of the month. We tried some new parts this weekend, but they weren't really suited for this type of circuit - they should work better at Silverstone, so I'm feeling positive about the future.\"\nSergio Perez 11th\n\"This wasn't the race we were hoping to have. We tried our best to try and score a few points, but it was impossible to do any better than we did out there today. It's a pity, because the car felt quite good during our installation laps. But the car didn't work that well on the Option tyre, and we struggled to find enough grip. At Silverstone, I hope we can make a step forward. We brought some upgrades to this race, but didn't really get the running we needed to verify them. Hopefully, they'll work better at Silverstone.\"\n\"This was a difficult afternoon. Credit goes out to Jenson and Checo - both drivers performed brilliantly, attacking when necessary, and driving with the foresight and caution needed to look after their tyres across long stints. They deserved to score points. Unfortunately, with the benefit of hindsight, we were a touch too conservative with our tyre management this afternoon. The Prime turned out to be a stronger tyre than we'd anticipated, and we could have exploited it for longer and further in the race than we did. The data that we've accumulated this weekend will nonetheless provide us with a useful basis from which to move forwards, and we've learned some valuable lessons this weekend. Our focus now turns to our home race at Silverstone. We'll be doing our utmost to score a better result for the many British fans who'll be supporting Vodafone McLaren Mercedes on home soil.\"\nLewis Hamilton 3rd\n\"The car felt fantastic today and I had good grip for the low-speed corners but we just weren't quite on the pace of Seb and Fernando. I was on the maximum that I could possibly drive and we got absolutely everything out of the car today. It would have been nice to have kept second place of course but Fernando was very quick today and it was difficult to keep him behind. I got close to taking the place back but he was just that little bit too fast. Still I'm very pleased with third place and it was a strong points-scoring day for the team with Nico's fifth place as well. We've taken a step up in the Constructors' Championship which is great for the team and gives us a nice boost going into Silverstone.\"\nNico Rosberg 5th\n\"I think fifth place was probably my optimum today and, even if my race had gone perfectly, I wasn't able to match the pace of the guys in front. The guys had a difficult decision to make at the first stop: we were worried about the warm-up of the harder tyres, so we went for the option to protect my track position against Webber and Alonso, but in hindsight it would probably have been better to go the other way because I could have run a longer second stint. I scored some good points and we know that there are areas where we can still improve our performance. But looking back to where we were a month ago, we have made some good steps forward, and it was great for Lewis to be on the podium again. We are heading in the right direction and looking forward to the next race at Silverstone, in front of our team-mates from Brackley and Brixworth.\"\n\"It has been rare in recent seasons to have backmarkers become such a factor in a race as they were today. They played a decisive role in the final result but getting through traffic is one of the challenges that you have to tackle in Formula One. The car performed reasonably well but we still had some anxiety about the tyre performance in the high temperatures, so we were managing the situation carefully, particularly in the opening laps of the stints. Lewis drove a very strong race although it was a shame that he could not quite hold on to second position in the closing laps. However, that wasn't down to him but rather the fact that we still need to find a little more performance from our car to compete with Ferrari and Red Bull. Nico had a reasonably quiet race after a strong first stint and we will have to analyse if we could have made more of the car's performance today with him. We called him in for a third stop as a precaution, because he had flat-spotted badly the right-front tyre badly and we had nothing to gain or lose in terms of track position. Overall, a positive afternoon and another strong two-car finish that is important for our position in the Constructors' Championship.\"\n\"Lewis and Nico did a great job on track today and it was nice to see Lewis on the podium again. He tried to hold off Fernando towards the end of the race but the Ferrari was just too quick today. Nico dropped back on the option tyre and our strategy didn't quite come to him this afternoon unfortunately. Looking ahead, we know that we need to keep bringing performance to the car and that Silverstone will be a bigger test for our tyre management. But it's the second race in a row that we have had both cars in the top five and that is building a good platform in the championship. Well done, too, to Sebastian and Red Bull today: they didn't put a foot wrong all afternoon.\"\nSebastian Vettel 1st\n\"It's great to win today. I was pushing very hard, especially at the beginning of the race - I had a moment when I hit the wall, but I didn't feel it; I was trying to get away from the field, as you don't know what will happen towards the end. It turned out that we could control things in the later stages, but you don't know that, so I was just trying to push all the time and stay in the rhythm. It was good to see that we were quick in all conditions this weekend and had speed in the race. We had average tyre wear, which hasn't always been the case for us, so we have made a step forward there. It's nice to win here, as it's a very special race. Not just the track, but the whole city enjoys the race and it's a nice atmosphere.\"\nMark Webber 5th\n\"I got a sensational start, but I didn't have too many places to go. I went to the middle and Bottas and Nico were there, so I went to the other side and lost some momentum. We are certainly getting our starts sorted, but so far there's been no opportunity to show how good they have been! We lost some time with Nico in the first stint, and the car was getting hot behind him in the slip stream. Once I got in free air, the car was handling much better. Then we had the incident with Giedo van der Garde which caused some front wing damage and made it more difficult; the whole top section of the wing was gone on the left hand side, so it didn't help from then on. I don't know what he was doing. We had a lot of blue flags as we approached the hair pin and I rolled to the inside, giving him plenty of space so he knew I was there, but when we got to the apex he tried to hit it; I don't know what was going on with that. There were some positives from today, but it would have been nicer to have finished a bit further up the road.\"\n\"To win in Montreal is a fantastic result for the team. Having come so close two years ago, to win in the dominant fashion that we did today was a tremendous performance, despite a couple of heart stopping moments, particularly when Seb touched the wall. He was totally commanding today and thoroughly deserved the victory. It was a shame for Mark that his race was compromised by van der Garde, who just seemed to shut the door on him for no reason damaging the front wing. But, despite that damage Mark did a tremendous job to still finish fourth.\"\nEsteban Gutierrez DNF\n\"For the entire race the car was difficult to drive, and I was always pushing to the limit. Right from the start everyone was closing in. The first set of tyres was difficult to drive on and a one stop would have been impossible. When I came out from my second pit stop into the fist corner, I went over one of the bumps, the front locked up and I couldn't stop.\"\n\"It's disappointing to finish a race like this. Lapping can be troublesome, but these guys are racing too and have things happenings in the race, the same as us. I lapped Giedo van der Garde and braked. At first I didn't feel anything until I came out of the corner and realised the car wasn't going straight, so we decided to stop. Even after we lost positions at the start of the race, we didn't really have the pace today. I was fighting for 14th and couldn't do much more. Of course this is not an ideal way to end a race, but in the end we wouldn't have gained much more.\"\n\"This is a weekend to forget. We knew this track wouldn't really suit our car. If you have weaknesses on the car in addition to a track that doesn't suit you, then it's twice as hard. We have a lot of work to do.\"\n\"The circuit's characteristics were going to make it a hard day for our car. Ultimately it was a double DNF, which is very disappointing. On the strategy side we attempted a one stop with Esteban and a two stop with Nico, which was the base strategy today. But ultimately the tyre degradation and wear were too high for Esteban, so we had to convert to a two stopper late in the race and unfortunately he had the incident exiting the pits. Looking forward to Silverstone, that's a track that should suit us better. We have to make sure to get the maximum out of our car.\"\nJean-Eric Vergne 6th\n\"Incredible! I'm very happy. The best result for me of course, but also the highest finishing position since Vettel's results for the team in 2008. It is even more satisfying, because it was a normal race in the dry, with no one going out in front of me so we achieved this position fair and square. It's a great result for the team as we are making progress race by race and it's very encouraging for the rest of the season. It wasn't too complicated, because we had the pace to maintain that position, although we did not have the speed of those ahead. I passed Bottas and Raikkonen and from then I managed my race, keeping an eye on Sutil who was behind me for much of the time. That meant I could never ease up until the flag. After finishing eighth in Monaco, this result on another difficult track has boosted my confidence and I feel I have progressed as a driver. We must continue to push hard on the development of the car, starting with the next race at Silverstone, so that we can aim even higher than this.\"\nDaniel Ricciardo 15th\n\"I got a really good start, making up two positions off the line and then I was on the outside for Turn 2, which meant Hulkenberg took me back. When he ran wide at the chicane, I was ahead of him again and I gained another place when Sutil went off. At that point, I felt we could have a good race, but after just four laps, the car was oversteering like crazy and I couldn't manage the tyres anymore. As the race went on, we tried to improve the car balance and maybe we improved it a bit, but our pace was really slow. We didn't change so much on the car since Friday, so why we were so slow is a mystery to me at the moment.\"\n\"Jean-Eric's sixth place is a fantastic result for him, the team here in Canada and everyone who works so hard behind the scenes in Faenza and Bicester. This is our best result since Daniel finished seventh in China and it is Jev's best ever F1 finish position. Our car has been making steady progress over the last few races and that was confirmed yesterday, when despite the difficult conditions, we got both our cars into the top ten on the grid, even if Daniel then had to drop one place. Jev did a great job to keep his concentration on this difficult track, just as he did when he finished in the points in Monaco a fortnight ago and here, he also managed his tyres very well, which meant that once he had secured sixth place, he was able to keep it all the way to the flag. Daniel has had a tougher weekend and quite quickly in today's race, he suffered a lack of grip at the rear and found the car unstable over the kerbs. But he can fight back from this disappointment and I expect both our drivers to challenge for points again in Silverstone in two weeks time.\"\nPastor Maldonado 16th\n\"We were expecting a better result today in the race. We knew we didn't have the top speed to challenge at the front, but we struggled for pace right from the beginning of the race. The car felt better in the wet conditions compared to the dry hot weather we saw today so we need to understand why. After the good result with Valtteri yesterday, it was a tough weekend for us to end with neither car in the points. There are now three weeks until the next race so we need to keep working to improve our overall race performance.\"\nValtteri Bottas 14th\n\"We fought hard to try and secure some points today but ultimately we just didn't have the pace in the car. I didn't get a great start which allowed a few cars to jump me on the first lap, and in the dry conditions we simply couldn't match the level of competitiveness we showed yesterday. The tyre wear in the first stint was also high which made it tough to stay in the top ten. Nevertheless I feel like I have learnt a lot from the race today and as a team we can take positives from the weekend. Hopefully we can continue to make progress and have a stronger race at Silverstone with the home crowd cheering us on.\"\nMike Coughlan, technical director\n\"We knew Valtteri's grid position was not representative of our current pace, but we had hoped to be able to challenge for some points. The tyre degradation was quite high on the supersoft tyres though and we lost time in the first stint with both cars, which compromised our race. The medium tyre was working better which allowed us to do longer middle stints, but we weren't able to gain an advantage on anyone around us. Pastor was also compromised by a drive-through penalty but then pushed hard to close the gap, finishing 16th..Valtteri drove a solid race without making any mistakes, but ultimately the pace wasn't in the car to enable him to hold a top ten position today. We need to keep the momentum going following our qualifying performance to keep working hard to improve ahead of our home race at Silverstone.\"",

Since the adoption of its 2013 Constitution, Zimbabwe has 16 official languages, namely Chewa, Chibarwe, English, Kalanga, Koisan, Nambya, Ndau, Ndebele, Shangani, Shona, sign language, Sotho, Tonga, Tswana, Venda, and Xhosa. The country's main languages are Shona, spoken by roughly 70% of the population, and Ndebele, spoken by roughly 20%. English is the country's lingua franca, used in government and business and as the main medium of instruction in schools. English is the first language of most white Zimbabweans, and is the second language of a majority of black Zimbabweans. Historically, a minority of white Zimbabweans spoke Afrikaans, Greek, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese, among other languages, while Gujarati and Hindi could be found amongst the country's Indian population. Deaf Zimbabweans commonly use one of several varieties of Zimbabwean Sign Language, with some using American Sign Language. Zimbabwean language data is based on estimates, as Zimbabwe has never conducted a census that enumerated people by language.\n1 Official language status\n2 Main languages\n2.2 Shona\n2.3 Ndebele\n3 Minor languages\n3.1 Chewa\n3.2 Chibarwe\n3.3 Kalanga\n3.4 Koisan\n3.6 Lozi\n3.7 Manyika\n3.8 Nambya\n3.9 Ndau\n3.10 Nsenga\n3.11 Shangani\n3.12 Sotho\n3.13 Tjwao\n3.15 Tswa\n3.16 Tswana\n3.17 Venda\n3.18 Xhosa\n4 Immigrant languages\n4.1 Afrikaans\n4.7 Gujarati\n4.11 Portuguese\n5 Pidgin languages\n5.1 Chilapalapa\n6 Sign languages\nOfficial language status[edit]\nSince the adoption of the 2013 Constitution, Zimbabwe has 16 official languages, namely Chewa, Chibarwe, English, Kalanga, Koisan, Nambya, Ndau, Ndebele, Shangani, Shona, sign language, Sotho, Tonga, Tswana, Venda, and Xhosa.[1][2][3] Zimbabwe holds the Guinness World Record for the country with the largest number of official languages.[1]\nPrior to independence in 1980, English had been the official language of Zimbabwe's antecedents since the arrival of white rule in the region. During the Company-rule period in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, English was established as Rhodesia's official language by the British South Africa Company.[4] In a 1918 letter written in response to an Afrikaner settler who complained about the Rhodesian policy of not allowing the teaching of Afrikaans in schools, the Secretary to the Administrator of Southern Rhodesia wrote that \"the official language of Southern Rhodesia has ever since the occupation of the country been English and ... no provision exists in the legislation of the territory for the recognition of a second official language.\"[4]\nEnglish remained the official language when Southern Rhodesia was established as a self-governing Crown colony in 1923. During the UDI period from 1965 to 1979, English was retained as the official language of the unrecognised state of Rhodesia.[5] Rhodesia's successor, the short-lived unrecognized state of Zimbabwe Rhodesia, designated English the \"only official language\" of the country.[6] Zimbabwe Rhodesia was succeeded by Zimbabwe in 1980. Zimbabwe's original constitution, drafted in 1979 at the Lancaster House Agreement, did not name any official languages.[2] By the time the new 2013 constitution was being drafted, English, Shona, and Ndebele had become the country's official languages.[3] The Constitution requires that Zimbabwe equally promote each of its official languages, including in schools and in government.[1]\nMain languages[edit]\nShona[edit]\nShona is a Bantu language spoken by roughly 70% of Zimbabweans, and is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3] It is the traditional language of Zimbabwe's Shona people, who live in Zimbabwe's central and eastern provinces. Shona has a number of dialects, including Karanga, Korekore, Manyika, Ndau, and Zezuru. Standard Shona is derived from the Central Shona dialects, especially Karanga and Zezuru.[7] According to Ethnologue, Shona is spoken by roughly 10.8 million people, making it the most widely spoken Bantu language of Zimbabwe.[7] The Manyika and Ndau dialects[8] are listed separately by Ethnologue,[9] and are spoken by around 1 million[10] and 2.4 million people,[11] respectively. When Manyika and Ndau is the total, Shona is spoken by over 14 million people.\nNdebele[edit]\nThe Northern Ndebele language, known in Zimbabwe as simply Ndebele, is an Nguni Bantu language spoken by the Northern Ndebele people of Zimbabwe's Matabeleland region.[12] The Ndebele language is closely related to the Zulu language of South Africa, and developed in Zimbabwe in the 19th century when Zulus migrated to what is now Zimbabwe from the Zulu Kingdom in 1839. Today, Ndebele is spoken by roughly 20% of the population and is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nMinor languages[edit]\nChewa[edit]\nChewa is a Bantu language spoken in northeastern Zimbabwe. According to some estimates, it is the third-most widely spoken indigenous language in the country, after Shona and Ndebele.\"[13] Chewa is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nChibarwe[edit]\nChibarwe, also known as Sena, is a Bantu language, mainly found in Malawi and Mozambique, with a small number of speakers in Zimbabwe. Chibarwe is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nKalanga[edit]\nKalanga is a Shona Bantu language spoken by the Kalanga people of northwestern Zimbabwe. It is spoken by over 300,000 people, and is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nKoisan[edit]\nKoisan, better known outside Zimbabwe as Tshwa, is a Khoe language that is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nKunda[edit]\nKunda is a Bantu language spoken in eastern Zimbabwe, in the Mashonaland Central and Mashonaland West provinces.[14] It was spoken by 145,000 people in Zimbabwe in 2000.[14]\nLozi[edit]\nLozi, a Bantu language spoken primarily in southwestern Zambia, is spoken by roughly 70,000 Zimbabweans.[1]\nManyika[edit]\nManyika is a Bantu language, often considered a dialect of Shona,[1] spoken by the Manyika tribe of Zimbabwe's easternmost province, Manicaland, as well as in Mashonaland East Province.[15] In 2000, it had an estimated 861,000 speakers in Zimbabwe.[15]\nNambya[edit]\nNambya is a Shona Bantu language spoken by the Nambya people of northwestern Zimbabwe, particularly in the town of Hwange.[16][17] It is closely related to the Kalanga language.[18] It is spoken by nearly 100,000 people, and is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nNdau[edit]\nNdau is a Bantu language, often considered a dialect of Shona, that is spoken by around 2.4 million people in southeastern Zimbabwe and central Mozambique. It is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nNsenga[edit]\nShangani[edit]\nShangani, more commonly known as Tsonga, is a Bantu language spoken in southeastern Zimbabwe, as well as in Eswatini, Mozambique, and South Africa. It is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nSotho[edit]\nSotho, also known as Sesotho, is a Bantu language primarily spoken in South Africa and Lesotho, with a small number of speakers in Zimbabwe. It is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nTjwao[edit]\nTonga[edit]\nTonga, also known as Zambezi, is a Bantu language spoken by 1.5 million people in southern Zambia and northern Zimbabwe. It is primarily spoken by the Tonga people and is a second language for some Zimbabweans. Tonga is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nTswa[edit]\nTswana[edit]\nTswana is a Bantu language that is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nVenda[edit]\nVenda is a Bantu language that is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3]\nXhosa is an Nguni Bantu language, most commonly found in South Africa, spoken by around 200,000 Zimbabweans, a little over 1% of the population.[19] Xhosa is one of Zimbabwe's official languages.[1][2][3] \"Ishe Komborera Africa\", the former Zimbabwean national anthem, was based on a Xhosa hymn.\nImmigrant languages[edit]\nAfrikaans is spoken by a small minority of white Zimbabweans, the number of whom has declined significantly since 1980.[20][21][22] Afrikaans speakers in Zimbabwe are typically Afrikaner immigrants from South Africa or their descendants. Afrikaners first arrived in what would become Southern Rhodesia in the early 1890s, recruited to be among the first pioneers by Cecil Rhodes, who sought to bring their agricultural expertise for the new region.[23][24] They spread throughout the country, taking up farming and cattle ranching.[23][24] Afrikaners settled in rural areas outside towns and cities, so they could sell their agricultural products.[24] Bulawayo, Enkeldoorn, Umtali, Salisbury, and particularly, Melsetter, became Afrikaner population centers.[24]\nAfrikaner children, especially in rural areas, were initially educated in Afrikaans.[24] However, following the Second Boer War, British colonial authorities increasingly demanded that Afrikaner schools teach in English.[24] Despite Afrikaner complaints, the British South Africa Company, which governed the territory until 1923, would not budge.[4][24] In a letter written in response to protesting Afrikaners, the Secretary to the Administrator of Southern Rhodesia wrote: \"... the laws of the country make no provision for Dutch teaching, and even recently the Administrator has publicly stated that there is no prospect of change in the said laws.\"[24] L. M. Foggin, the colonial director of education, warned in an official report: \"I am convinced that if the concession of mother-tongue instruction were allowed in the schools of Rhodesia, it would result at once in Dutch districts in the teaching to the children of characteristic anti-British and anti-Imperial principles of the Nationalist party.\"[24]\nIn spite of this issue, Afrikaners assimilated fairly well into the larger English-speaking white population, and were generally seen as loyal to the Southern Rhodesian government.[23][24] Afrikaners preserved their language and culture through their own institutions.[23][24] Dutch Reformed churches commonly conducted Afrikaans services in the morning, followed by services in English and indigenous African languages in the afternoon.[25] An Afrikaans-language school, Bothashof, was established in 1911 in Bulawayo. An Afrikaner organisation, the Afrikaans Cultural Union of Rhodesia (AKUR), was established in 1934, and sought to preserve Afrikaner culture in Rhodesia, particularly through creating an Afrikaans press and by promoting the Afrikaans language in schools.[24] A printing press was acquired, and AKUR began publishing Afrikaans daily newspapers and magazines, including Zambesi Ringsblad, Kern, Die Rhodesi\u00ebr, and Die Volksgenoot.[24]\nTension over language and cultural differences between Afrikaners and the English continued to exist, coming to a head in 1944, when the so-called \"Enkeldoorn incident\", in which an Afrikaner boy killed an English boy at the Enkeldoorn School, made headlines.[24] A commission investigating the incident found that the incident was motivated by language and cultural tensions, which at the time were inflamed by World War II, as many English suspected Afrikaners of having German sympathies.[24] Nevertheless, the Afrikaner population in Rhodesia continued to grow and more Afrikaner organisations were established, including the Afrikaner Youth in 1947) and the Association of Rhodesian Afrikaners (GRA) in 1965.[24] The GRA soon became the preeminent Afrikaner organisation in the country, organising Afrikaner cultural activities and lobbying for greater Afrikaans language rights, particularly in schools.[24]\nBy the late 1960s, the Afrikaner population in Rhodesia had grown to 25,000.[23] After the mid 1960s, Afrikaners began to enter Rhodesian politics.[24] Notable Afrikaner politicians during this period included several cabinet ministers: Rowan Cronj\u00e9, P. K. van der Byl, and Phillip van Heerden. Though the Rhodesian government under premier Ian Smith was on better terms with Afrikaners than previous governments, the issue of education remained.[24] Bothashof, which had relocated to Salisbury in 1946, remained the country's only Afrikaans-medium school.[24] In 1971, the Association of Rhodesian Afrikaners made an urgent call to the government, demanding that they open more Afrikaans-language schools, but the government ignored them.[24] The Afrikaner population in Rhodesia peaked at 35,000 in 1975, and began declining thereafter.[24] As Afrikaners emigrated to South Africa, Afrikaner organisations saw decline; the GRA gradually became less active.[24] In 1977, the Rhodesian Afrikaner Action Circle (RAAK) was established in Bulawayo, and soon became the main Afrikaner organisation in the country.[24] Kern and Die Rhodesi\u00ebr, the two major Afrikaans newspapers in Rhodesia, were edited by RAAK members.[24]\nAfter Zimbabwe's independence in 1980, much of the country's Afrikaner population emigrated, most to South Africa.[23] The GRA was disestablished in the early 1980s.[24] A new Afrikaner organisation, the Afrikaner Community of Zimbabwe, was founded in April 1981 in Harare.[24] Bothashof, the country's Afrikaans-medium school, saw its enrollment drop from 450 in 1980 to 160 in 1982.[23][24] The school closed and reopened the next year as a multiracial, English-language school with an English headmaster, marking an end to Afrikaans education in Zimbabwe.[23][24] By 1984, just 15,000 Afrikaners remained in Zimbabwe, a nearly 60% decline from ten years earlier.[23][24]\nA wave of Dutch-speaking immigrants from the Netherlands moved to Southern Rhodesia in the 1950s.[26][27] Many of them remained in Rhodesia after 1965, when the colony unilaterally declared independence under a white minority government, as well as after Zimbabwe's independence in 1980.[26][27] Many of them lost their farms during the country's land reform program in the early 2000s, with some leaving the country and others remaining.[27]\nGerman is spoken by a small minority of white Zimbabweans. The language first arrived in Southern Rhodesia during World War II, when the British set up five camps in the colony to hold thousands of Axis prisoners of war and internees, mainly Italians and Germans.[28] Two of these camps, which opened in 1939\u201340 outside Salisbury, accommodated roughly 800 German inmates, who were former residents of Tanganyika.[28] These prisoners were repatriated after war.[28]\nBy the 1970s, a number of West German missionaries were present in Rhodesia. In 1978, the year two German missionaries were killed amidst the Rhodesian Bush War, it was reported that 30 German Jesuits were active in the country.[29] In the years after Zimbabwe's independence in 1980, a number of German nationals took up farming in Zimbabwe.[30] They were among those whose farms were confiscated during the land reform program in the early 2000s, and left the country.[30]\nSee also: Greeks in Zimbabwe\nGujarati is the traditional language of the majority of Zimbabwe's Indian population, many of whom are descended from immigrants from Gujarat.[31][32] The Indian presence in what is now Zimbabwe dates back to 1890, when Indian plantation workers emigrated from South Africa into Southern Rhodesia.[33] Indian immigration was restricted in 1924 when Southern Rhodesia attained self-government, but the Indian community still grew. Many Indian Zimbabweans left the country following the country's economic downturn that began around 2000.[31] As of October 2016, an estimated 9,000 Zimbabwean citizens were of Indian origin, mostly Gujarati.[33] An additional 500 Indian citizens were residents in Zimbabwe at that time.[33]\nHindi is the traditional language of a minority of Zimbabwe's Indian population, most of whom are of Gujarati, rather than Hindustani, origin.[31][32] The Indian presence in what is now Zimbabwe dates back to 1890, when Indian plantation workers emigrated from South Africa into Southern Rhodesia.[33] Indian immigration was restricted in 1924 when Southern Rhodesia attained self-government, but the Indian community still grew. Many Indian Zimbabweans left the country following the country's economic downturn that began around 2000.[31] As of October 2016, an estimated 9,000 Zimbabwean citizens were of Indian origin (it is unclear how many of these, if any, are Hindi speakers.[33] An additional 500 Indian citizens were residents in Zimbabwe at that time.[33]\nItalian is spoken by a small minority of white Zimbabweans. The language first arrived in Southern Rhodesia during World War II, when the British set up five camps in the colony to hold thousands of Axis prisoners of war and internees.[28] Three of these camps, set up in 1941\u201342 in Gatooma, Umvuma, and Fort Victoria, accommodated roughly 5,000 Italians, mostly from Somaliland and Ethiopia.[28] After Italy's surrender in September 1943, the British began repatriating Italian internees and POWs, sending them to Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where they were taken home by ship.[34][35] Other Italians were not sent home, but were simply let out of the camps, and some of these chose to remain in Southern Rhodesia.[36] By the early 2000s, there was still a sizable Italian population in Zimbabwe.[37]\nPolish is spoken by a small minority of white Zimbabweans. The language first arrived in Southern Rhodesia during World War II, when the colony hosted nearly 7,000 refugees from Poland.[28] Polish refugees were housed at dedicated settlements set up at Marandellas and Rusape, two towns about 40 km (25 mi) apart to the south-east of Salisbury, from 1943. The Polish settlements in Southern Rhodesia were run jointly by local authorities and the Polish consulate in Salisbury; the Polish government-in-exile in London provided funding. Polish-language schools and churches were built for the refugees.[38] After the Polish government-in-exile discontinued its operations and closed its consulate in 1944, the Polish refugees were increasingly viewed as a burden by the Southern Rhodesian government.[39] A few began being sent home in May 1944,[39] and transport back to Europe picked up sharply as the war came to a close, with less than 2,000 Polish refugees remaining by October 1945.[28]\nColonial officials were reluctant to let the remaining Poles stay in Southern Rhodesia indefinitely, asserting that they were not culturally British enough and might have communist connections or sympathies.[28] Additionally, the Poles were seen as lacking the skills and education that would allow them to compete against blacks in a free market.[39] Despite these concerns, most of the Poles who remained showed little inclination to leave.[28] By 1947, when the Rhodesian government offered repatriation to the remaining 1,282 Poles in the colony, only two women agreed.[39] Despite pressure from the British government and the United Nations Refugee Programme, the Rhodesian government agreed to accept only 726 Poles as permanent residents, the bare minimum to meet the 10% per nationality required by international law.[28][39]\nPidgin languages[edit]\nChilapalapa[edit]\nChilapalapa, also known as Pidgin Bantu,[40] was a pidgin language used as a lingua franca between whites, Asians, and blacks during the colonial period.[41][42] Like its South African cousin Fanagalo, it was primarily spoken in the mining sector, on white-owned farms, and in larger settlements.[40][41][42] According to one source, 60% of Chilapalapa vocabulary is of Ndebele origin, 20% from English, 10% from Shona, 5% from Afrikaans, and 5% from Chewa.[41] Other sources describes the language as having primarily Shona influence rather than Ndebele.[40][42][43]\nFanagalo originated in the 19th century in South Africa, and Chilapalapa, which is closely related, developed as whites began settling in Southern Rhodesia.[42] As the majority of blacks at that time lacked education and the ability to speak English, Chilapalapa became a common lingua franca used by whites and Asians to communicate with blacks, and vice versa, usually in the context of work environment.[41][42] Blacks who spoke Chilapalapa generally lacked formal education and often did not speak English.[41][42] Additionally, Whites often demanded that blacks speak to them in Chilapalapa, not wanting to speak with them in English as it might imply an equal status among the races.[41][43] Because it was often used demeaningly by whites, blacks often associated Chilapalapa with racism and colonialism.[41][42][43] In contrast, whites viewed Chilapalapa more positively, even celebrating it as a unique facet of Rhodesian culture. The Rhodesian folk singer John Edmond recorded \"The Chilapalapa Song\",[44] and newsreader and comedian Wrex Tarr routinely used Chilapalapa in his performances.[43]\nThough Chilapalapa was a widespread second language in Rhodesia, with several hundred thousand speakers in 1975,[40] it was never commonly spoken outside work environments.[42] It was used in towns, and in the farming and mining sectors, and was especially common in the Mashonaland region, but was never taught in schools or used in any official contexts.[41] Written Chilapalapa literature was rare.[41] Because of its lack of use in schools and formal contexts and due to its negative association with colonialism, use of Chilapalapa virtually disappeared after Zimbabwe's independence after 1980.[41][43] Today, Chilapalapa is heard only occasionally being spoken between older white and blacks.[41][42]\nA 2018 survey of white farm owners, Asian store owners, and young black teachers born after independence found wide disparities in knowledge of and attitudes toward Chilapalapa.[41] Among those surveyed who grew up before independence, all were proficient in Chilapalapa.[41] Among those born after independence, none could speak Chilapalapa, though most had heard of it.[41] Attitudes towards the language differed, largely across racial lines.[41] Most whites and Asians surveyed saw Chilapalapa as a useful lingua franca, while blacks viewed it as a symbol of racism and colonialism.[41]\nMain article: Zimbabwean sign languages\nAlongside numerous oral languages, sign languages are also used in Zimbabwe. Sign languages in Southern Rhodesia first developed independently among deaf students in different schools for the deaf beginning in the 1940s. It is unclear how many sign languages there are in Zimbabwe, and to what extent each is used, as little research has been done. The Glottolog, a language database maintained by the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Germany, lists seven varieties of indigenous Zimbabwean sign language: Manicaland Sign, Mashonaland Sign, Masvingo School Sign, Matabeleland Sign, Midlands Sign, Zimbabwe Community Sign, and Zimbabwe School Sign.[45] American Sign Language is also reportedly used, though it is not clear to what extent.[46] \"Sign language\", without further specificity, became one of Zimbabwe's official languages in the 2013 Constitution.[47]\n^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s Pariona, Amber (2017-04-25). \"What Languages Are Spoken In Zimbabwe?\".

        "raw_content": "'Playing With Words'\n[Interview] L. Lee Lowe, author of 'Mortal Ghost'\nAmbrose Musiyiwa (amusiyiwa) Print Article\nShort story writer and novelist, L. Lee Lowe holds an M.A. in English Literature and Linguistics from the University of Heidelberg.\nShe publishes her short stories on the blog, Into the Lowelands.\nHer debut novel, Mortal Ghost, is also available in a variety of formats online. Readers have the added options of being able to listen to podcasts of the novel or to download it as a PDF file or e-book.\nLee Lowe was born in the United States but now lives in Germany. Before that, she spent 18 years in Zimbabwe. Currently she is working on a second novel, Corvus.\nIn this email interview, she talks about her concerns as a writer.\nI write every day unless ill, or when family events make it impossible.\nI begin with checking my email and a few blogs, then reading a new or favourite poem and one entry from an etymological dictionary.\nAfter that, I revise what I've written the day before, sometimes more, then write till I've at least reached my daily quota, which at the moment stands at 500 words. I never stop unless I know what I'm going to try to write the next morning and will often break off in the middle of a sentence so I don't have to face a blank page, so to speak.\nI'm a slow and painstaking writer and cannot just let the words flow, but rewrite and revise each sentence obsessively.\nHow long did it take you to write Mortal Ghost?\nMortal Ghost is the story of a homeless lad with certain uncanny gifts and a past which he's trying to escape.\nIt took me two years to write it, after which time I cut it to less than half its original length on the advice of my former agent. When we couldn't agree any further, I decided to publish it online, which I've not regretted. Though there's a stigma attached to this sort of literary endeavor, and the disadvantage of not having an editor, I find myself quite happy with my independence. No one tells me what to write! Undoubtedly the novel is flawed, but the flaws are at least my own, and I hope to become better at self-editing in time.\nThe other major disadvantage to this form of publishing is developing a readership. I don't have a publisher or publicist behind me and am obliged to do all my own 'marketing' -- not easy for someone like myself, who dislikes any form of self-promotion.\nI'm not a published writer in the conventional sense of the word, since my fiction is only available online. I prefer to leave writing careers to those who are younger. And as far as I'm concerned, the only real satisfaction is in the process, not in number of books sold or prizes collected or dollars earned.\nMy young adults' fantasy novel, Mortal Ghost is available online.\nWith the help of theatre student, Bill Uden, and the staff of Carmarthenshire College in Wales, the novel is also being podcast as an audiobook.\nWhat did you find most difficult when you were working on the novel?\nI'm weak at plotting, since I don't plan my novel in detail -- only a few scenes and a general narrative arc -- before I begin to write.\nWith my second novel, Corvus -- I've tried to plot more carefully, but it seems that I can't write this way. So I now look at my first draft as a beginning and rewrite from there. Very inefficient, but the characters and their concerns need to grow in some sort of organic fashion. And I find that I like to live with them for a long time.\nHoning phrases and sentences. I enjoy playing with words, and there is no high like the high of getting it right!\nCorvus is a science fiction/fantasy hybrid set in a slightly alternate future in which the minds of teen offenders are uploaded into computers on the pretext of rehabilitation -- a form of virtual wilderness therapy. The novel is part thriller, part love story, part riff on the nature of consciousness.\nThe first chapter, subject to revision, is available online.\nI've been writing off and on since childhood -- poems, school plays, stories -- but only began to work in a disciplined manner when my children were starting to leave home.\nI had taken a job in public relations at the University of Bonn, which I detested. It soon struck me that it was a 'now or never' situation -- either fulfill my lifelong dream to write properly or see 'office drone' carved on my tombstone.\nHow would you describe your writing?\nI write fiction, both short stories and novels. If I had a true poetic sensibility, I would love to write poetry.\nThough I have termed my first novel a young adult fantasy, it's a category I'm uncomfortable with. I don't ever think of my readers when writing, just the text itself.\nGenre is more about marketing than literature.\nWho influenced you most?\nIn my personal life, I'd have to say my father -- and not necessarily in a positive sense. It's very difficult to grow up the child of a brilliant and impatient man.\nIn terms of writers, there are too many to list, though at the moment I'm particularly fascinated by the work of Breece D'J Pancake, Amy Hempel, and poet Ron Slate. Next month you'll probably get a different answer!\nAlso, living overseas -- in self-imposed exile, so to speak -- means that I have neither home nor language in which I'm entirely comfortable. Who am I? Where do I belong? Which English is truly mine? are questions that underlie all my attempts to find an authentic fictional voice.\nWhat are your main concerns as a writer?\nWriting beautiful and authentic sentences.\nHow do you deal with these concerns?\nRead and read and read; write and rewrite.\nThe biggest challenge, of course, is to write well, but I find it very difficult to battle envy -- not of material success, but of the skill and gifts of others. I'm easily depressed by the huge gap between how I'd like to write and how I actually do. And I'm lazy as well!\nHow do you deal with these challenges?\nDiscipline has been hard-won, mostly by viewing my writing as a job and setting myself daily goals: so many words before I leave my study.\nA sense of inadequacy is far more difficult to cope with, and my husband and children are very supportive in this regard. Still, I'm often frustrated and depressed.\nMore at Conversations with Writers.\nOther articles by reporter Ambrose Musiyiwa\nLinked Story - 'Publishing Is Definitely a Business'...\nLinked Story - A Feeling Like No Other...",

        "raw_content": "[Opinion] Britain's Future - Too Big Too Fail?\nElection Day Is May 6. What Issues Will The New Government Face?\nJames Osborne (osborne) Print Article\nFinally we are off and running. Although Prime Minister Gordon Brown had not yet set a date for the UK's 2010 elections, due to UK law stating that no Parliament shall last longer than 5 years, the day for UK's general elections was eminent. But it has now been confirmed that the general election will take place on May 6.\nIf you are visiting Britain over the next few weeks I recommend you take the time to read the newspapers and enquire as to what the issues are as you might find it interesting.\nThis is the closest election in over thirty years. Poll predictions indicate we may have a \"hung parliament\", a case in which both parties will rule together. The uncertainty surrounding which party will rule presents a valuable opportunity for Britons. When polls indicate a clear winner, the results can often have negative effects on the democrat process.\nBut for this author it is good news. Close polling data sends a positive message to voters that every vote really does matter, especially in an election where polling data shows a close fight-to-the-finish race.\nPersonally I believe all polls should be banned from being published once an election has started. The turnout for this election will probably be the highest since 1997 and possibly reach 70% voter turnout. There is general feeling that the future is up for grabs and we need to decide what we want. However what are the key problems the Government faces?\nI believe the key issue is not so much Britain's debt but its service sector and in particular the banking sector. This election has been compared to the general elections in 1979 when Margaret Thatcher rose to prominence and the election marked a turning point in modern British history. Why?\nIn 1979 the UK had just been bailed out by the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The government had a huge debt and the economy appeared uncontrollable. Sounds familiar?\nAt that time the government dominated the economy as it owned telecoms, car manufacturers, steel manufacturers, coal mines, gas, water, electric, and railways. Often these state-owned companies were seen as \"too big to fail\".\nThe thinking at the time was that they employed too many people to be allowed to fail. Successive governments prior to 1979 propped these companies up with subsidization. By 1979 this wasteful subsidy was approximately \uffe150 million a week and it was bringing the entire economy down as they required more taxation to pay for them.\nMargaret Thatcher came to power in 1979 and privatized these state-owned companies. Opponents said that if this happened, millions of people would become unemployed and chaos would ensue. Just another reason why they're \"too big to fail.\"\nShe argued differently stating in plain language the country had no choice but to privatize as the alternative was that Britain would decline anyway. What was the outcome?\nYes, millions were either made unemployed or given early retirement when the industries were privatized and/or closed. Unemployment reached over 3 million in the early '80s as the reforms kicked in (3 million, which is approximately 10-12% of the workforce was previously considered to be an un-imaginable figure).\nThere is no doubt the country went through an intense and difficult period of change throughout the 80s, but we DID go through it. The argument, \"too big too fail\" proved false.\nUltimately the majority of people accepted the changes as although they were nasty, they needed to be done. People in the 1980s proved democracy can deliver substantial and difficult change where there is a leader who has clear vision and keeps to that vision.\nMargaret Thatcher famously delivered a speech in the early 80s when her policies were being questioned and before the rewards of her policy were showing as her opponents asked for a \"U turn\" and retreat from her policies.\nIn Thatcher's famous response, she said \"You turn if you want to, this lady is NOT for turning.\"\nSo the net result was that in 1979 the subsidized industries were costing the government approximately \uffe150 million a week. By the end of 1995, they were actually paying the government approximately \uffe150 million a week in taxes.\nNo, they just needed tough reform. Margaret Thatcher successfully brought the manufacturing industries under control and stopped them from bringing down the whole economy.\nWhy is this important? Well, in 1979 the state-subsidized manufacturing industry was the problem. Today it's the state-subsidized service sector and banking in particular. The same problem has simply shifted onto a different sector. Today's bankers are the same as yesterday miners. They use the same arguments that their mining counterparts used thirty years ago: \"we are too big to fail.\" Same problem, different sector.\nThe number one long term issue the next government must sort out is to say to the service sector, \"No one is too big to fail.\" This will mean some serious changes in banking, namely some companies will need to be broken up.\nCompanies like RBS, HBOS, Llyods should be broken up. Currently Britain has six large banks, but the government needs to encourage more banks coming in to increase competition by passing new laws breaking up larger banks. The aim of the policy needs to be this. The UK needs to be in a position where no bank is too big to fail. When a bank fails it should not bring down the whole system.\nIt is likely by having smaller banks there will be higher costs of borrowing to the customer. This argument is not entirely convincing as it doesn't take into account having greater competition in the market and the efficiencies this brings.\nHowever, even if borrowing costs go up 1%, this is simply a long term price worth paying.\nThe next government needs to sort out the service sector and make sure it's a private market that functions normally with no distortions. To shirk this responsibility in the next parliament would be terrible as it is in my opinion the number one long term problem facing the country.\nOther articles by reporter James Osborne",

        "raw_content": "ERY EARLY the next morning we drove to Patti\u2019s, picked her up, and went on to Captain Mac\u2019s. He was going to make his last trip aboard Arcinella, piloting her from the canal at the end of the street where he lived to the berth along the quay on Bolotomy Road where she would reside as my mother\u2019s boat, and he had invited us to be on board for the voyage.\nWhat a great pleasure it was to ride in my mother\u2019s old car through Babbington that morning. The town was calm and quiet, but it was waking up, experiencing the moment of pause before great effort, the moment of inhalation and expectation, like the moment before the weight-lifter grunts and lifts, and all the people we couldn\u2019t see as we rolled past their houses were pulling themselves together, taking a deep breath, and preparing to go about their business. The air was fresh and light, cool and clear, but it held the promise of heat, and the thrill of possibility. The memory of that early hour and its potential has made me prefer the early morning to all other times of day. A time comes in life, unless we are very lucky, when one day is likely to be much the same as any other, and I have lived through too many days like that, days defined by what must be done and what goes wrong and nothing else, but morning, particularly the early morning, when most people haven\u2019t begun the day, still holds all of the promise that it did on that morning when we stepped aboard Arcinella, a morning that seemed to hold the promise not only of a full and exciting day, but of a full and exciting summer, and even of a full and exciting life.\nIt was a pleasant trip. Arcinella purred. The captain guided her with a steady hand. The bay was calm and flat. Picturesque ducks swam beside us for a while. Before we entered the mouth of the Bolotomy River, Captain Mac said, addressing Arcinella, \u201cWell, old girl, this seems as good a place as any to say good-bye and hand you over.\u201d He throttled down, stepped away from the wheel, and let Arcinella drift.\nMy mother recognized her cue. She handed the captain a check for the balance due, and on the roof of the cabin over the engine room he signed a bill of sale and certificate of ownership. The boat was now Ella\u2019s Arcinella.\n\u201cWho\u2019s going to take her into her new slip?\u201d he asked, folding the check and putting it into his shirt pocket. He turned a questioning look toward my mother, who turned it toward me. I looked to Patti, who rewarded me with an expression of confidence, even admiration, groundless, but probably based on some remarks I had let fall into one of our rambling afternoon conversations, reminiscences of nautical adventures I had never had.\n\u201cWould you like to take her in, Patti?\u201d I asked, absurdly.\n\u201cI wouldn\u2019t have any idea what I was doing,\u201d she said, delivering the line that should have been mine. \u201cI\u2019d probably wreck everything somehow.\u201d\nClearly, I was going to have to be the one to wreck everything.\n\u201cHere we go, lad,\u201d said the captain, taking a grip on my shoulder and steering me toward the wheel. \u201cLet me show you how to bend her to your will.\u201d I went to the wheelhouse as to the gallows.\n\u201cTake the wheel,\u201d he commanded, and I did so with a muttered \u201cAye, Cap\u2019.\u201d\n\u201cThis here\u2019s the throttle,\u201d he said, indicating a brass fixture shaped like the outline of a wedge of pie that was affixed to the bulkhead just to the right of the wheel. He nudged it counterclockwise a bit, and Arcinella began to move forward, toward the bridge across the bay, to the east of Babbington.\n\u201cWell, steer her toward town, lad,\u201d he said. I did. It was easy. The wheel was a pleasure to turn. Its frame was brass, green and pitted, and from the frame radiated eight spokes with wooden handles worn smooth and stained dark with use. Turn the wheel to the left, and she went to the left. Turn it to the right, and she went to the right. Nothing to it. I recognized the mouth of the Bolotomy, and I headed toward it. The captain stood to one side, but left me to do what I could on my own, and I began to puff myself up with the thought that I was now the captain, and the old man beside me was just a deck hand, someone who might very well have to take orders from me.\n\u201cThis lever,\u201d he said, forgetting his place, \u201cis your gearshift handle.\u201d He lowered his voice to a confidential whisper, as if it were important that Arcinella not hear what he was about to say. \u201cThe old gal\u2019s got a few peculiarities, and this here\u2019s one of \u2019em.\u201d Pointing to the metal pedal beside my right foot, he added, \u201cThat\u2019s another of \u2019em. That\u2019s her clutch.\u201d\n\u201cAh-ha,\u201d I said. He made it sound like the kind of female detail we might be snickering about in the locker room.\n\u201cWhen my father installed the Champion engine in her, he installed the transmission, too, so she drives her prop through first and reverse gears. When you bring her into the slip\u2014you\u2019re gonna want to bring her in bow first, I figure\u2014\u201d\n\u201cThat\u2019s what I thought I\u2019d do,\u201d I said, and though I hadn\u2019t given it any thought at all before the captain brought the matter up, when I thought about it now I found that very little thought was required to convince me that bringing her in bow first was likely to be a lot easier than turning her around and backing her in.\n\u201cWell, then what you\u2019re going to need to do when you get a bit of a way out from the slip is set your throttle down so she\u2019s just kind of chugging along\u2014\u201d\nI reached for the throttle.\n\u201cOf course you probably don\u2019t want to do that now.\u201d\n\u201cNo, no. Of course not. I was just\u2014um\u2014checking the setting.\u201d\n\u201cWhen the time comes, you\u2019re going to want to have her just chugging along, but of course you won\u2019t want to give her so little gas that she stalls.\u201d\n\u201cUh-uh,\u201d I said and chuckled along with the captain, imagining the fun that would ensue if some nameless nitwit were to give her so little gas that she stalled.\n\u201cThen when you\u2019re at the slip, you\u2019ll want to put in the clutch and shift into reverse.\u201d\n\u201cIdeally,\u201d he said, drawing it out so that I would understand that it implied a long life\u2019s hard-won experience on the bay and on the boat, \u201cyou want to slow her down enough so she glides on into the slip sweet and easy and just barely kisses the bulkhead.\u201d\nHe turned away for a moment. At the time, I thought he was gauging the distance to the slip and the kissable bulkhead, but if you were to ask me now I would say that he was hiding an irrepressible grin.\nHe turned back to me, gave me a pat on the back said, \u201cTreat her gentle,\u201d and stepped aside.\nI judged that I was near enough to the slip to throttle down, and so I did, turning the wedge of brass by degrees until the engine had reached a speed that seemed just this side of stalling. So far, so good, and a treacherous sense of confidence in my fledgling\u2019s wings swelled my little chest. I didn\u2019t dare turn away from my work for an instant to check, but I thought it likely that Patti and my mother were watching me with admiring\u2014nay, adoring\u2014eyes.\nThough I had throttled her down, Arcinella displayed a troubling reluctance to retard her forward motion. Her engine was turning over slowly, but her momentum carried her forward toward the slip and that looming bulkhead with reckless haste. Time to shift into reverse and calm her down, bring her in sweet and easy.\nThe clutch. It was a metal pedal projecting through the floorboards in the wheelhouse. I put my right foot on it and pressed. Nothing happened. It didn\u2019t move at all. Ordinarily, in a car, the driver would have been given some mechanical or hydraulic advantage so that the effort of depressing the clutch pedal was eased, but here all such landlubbin\u2019 frippery had been stripped away, deemed, I suppose, an affront to the masculinity of a clamdiggin\u2019 bayman, so that to depress this clutch pedal, I had to stand on it. This I did, and with the clutch in, I shifted into reverse. Arcinella raced on toward her rendezvous with the bulkhead. What was required of me now, I knew, was to release the clutch in a smooth manner so that reverse was engaged but Arcinella didn\u2019t stall. This, I realized as the sweat began to run into my eyes, I could not possibly do, since I was standing on the clutch pedal, with all my weight employed in keeping it depressed. I could remain standing on the pedal and allow Arcinella to run headlong into the bulkhead, or I could step off the pedal and hope that she would not stall despite the violence with which reverse would be engaged. Better to do something than to do nothing, I thought, and so I stepped off the clutch pedal.\nShe shuddered, seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if trying to understand what had happened to her, then with a sound like a sigh she stalled, and in the sudden silence glided smoothly, swiftly, single-mindedly directly into the bulkhead, which she struck with such force that all hands would have been thrown to the deck or perhaps even overboard had not all hands seen it coming, watched, indeed with mounting horror as Arcinella raced toward the impact. When she struck, she shook herself like a wet dog, then rebounded in the direction of the opposite bank, which she nearly reached before the captain managed to restart the engine.\nWith me standing glum and mute in the bow, ready to take a line ashore when we were close enough, Captain Mac brought her in sweet and easy, and this time her bow never even touched the bulkhead.\nWhen we were all ashore, he turned to my mother and with an unwelcome hand on my shoulder said, \u201cThere\u2019s been no harm done, most likely\u2014but,\u201d he added, in a lowered voice, \u201cof course, I can\u2019t say for sure that there hasn\u2019t, and I can\u2019t take responsibility if there has.\u201d\nINFLATING A DOG | CONTENTS | THE REST OF THE STORY",

        "raw_content": "In refinancing, a mortgage company usually offers a range of interest rates at different amounts of points. A point equals one percent of the loan amount. For example, three points on a $100,000 mortgage loan would add $3,000 to the refinancing charges.\nAnalyzing various interest rates and associated points may save you money. As a rule of thumb, each point adds about one eighth to one quarter of one percent to the interest rate the mortgage company is offering.\nGenerally, the lower the interest rate on the loan, the more points the lending institution will charge. Some companies offer refinancing with no points, but generally charge higher interest rates.\nTo decide what combination of rate and points work for you, balance the amount you can pay up front with the amount you can pay monthly. The less time that you keep the loan, the more expensive points become. If you plan to stay in your house for a long time, then it may be worthwhile to pay additional points to obtain a lower interest rate.\nSome companies may offer to finance the points so that you do not have to pay them up front. This means that the points will be added to your loan balance, and you will pay a finance charge on them. Although this may enable you to get the financing, it also will increase the amount of your monthly payments.",

The following year, he underwent chemotherapy treatment.\nAt the time, Jill, 54, was hopeful about what she called a \"miraculous\" recovery. \"It&apos;s been the most emotional time in our lives and couldn&apos;t have gotten to where we are without help from many,\" she shared on Instagram, captioning a photo of the couple out to dinner. \"I wake up everyday now so grateful to see Bobby getting stronger.\"\nBobby, a real estate developer and the founder of Zarin Fabrics, and Jill had celebrated their 18th anniversary just one week before his death. The reality TV star took to Instagram to commemorate the occasion. \"Happy 18th! Anniversary to the love of my life Bobby Zarin.

Factoring receivables is the best way to fill the tremendous void that banks have created.\nFactoring receivables is basically selling accounts receivables (invoices), representing money due from the customers to a factoring company, at a discount from face value so that it does not have to wait the normal 30-45 days for its accounts receivable to be paid. In short, factoring receivables helps a company speed up its cash flow, thereby enabling it to more readily pay its current obligations and grow.",

        "raw_content": "Archives For Marriage\nWithout revealing the gender, relationship, race, or age of this couple, I wanted to see if you think they should get married.\nChris is in love with Pat. They are both believers. They love Jesus and follow Him whole-heartily. Chris and Pat have been dating for 2 years and now they want to get married. They aren\u2019t physically intimate, since they believe that sex and all sexual activity is not within God\u2019s will unless two people are married. Chris and Pat love each other. They are committed to a life of faithfulness, consensual love, and Christ-honoring service. They both want to exalt Christ in their marriage and tell many people about Him. They want their future marriage to glorify Jesus and showcase His love for the world.\nBut there are two problems. First, most forms of traditional Christianity don\u2019t think they should get married, believing that such a marriage would be an abomination. Second, they are infertile. In fact, both Chris and Pat are unable to have kids for biological reasons and yet they still love each other. However, some Christians in the church believe that their inability to have kids has disqualified them from getting married. But Chris and Pat love each other. And they believe that their mutual love and faithfulness qualifies them for marriage. After all, they are roughly the same age and are incredibly compatible. They don\u2019t have the \u201cgift of celibacy\u201d and even though other believers don\u2019t think their marriage is within the will of God, they believe that their mutual love, commitment, and Christ-exalting love for each other validates their marriage. And so, this summer, Chris and Pat plan on getting married. After all, their marriage will harm no one, not even themselves. If it\u2019s not destructive, then how could it be sin?\nSo, do you think that Chris and Pat should get married?\nIn Humanity, Theology\tMarriage\nJon Marshall \u2014 July 16, 2013 \u2014 1 Comment\nIn Apologetics, Mission, Relationships, The Christian Life\tEvangelism, Jesus, Marriage\nLove is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. (1 Corinthians 13:4\u20138)\nEverything that Paul says about love here requires multiple people. Towards whom is love patient? To whom is it kind? Whom does it bear with, believe, hope, and endure?\nLove is always directed. Love that sits in one person\u2019s heart and never directs itself toward anyone or anything is not love at all. The heart can sit in isolation and experience emotions like happiness, warmth, or satisfaction. But love does not exist apart from some object toward which it is directed.\nMy love for my wife is exactly that\u2014love-for-my-wife. It\u2019s not as though I have a store of love in my heart, like some sort of substance which I can choose to dispense here or there as the occasion requires. Love comes with the object. My wife and I stand together, and the love we share is manifested in the patience and kindness we show toward one another, it can be seen in the absence of irritability and resentment between us.\nLove that sits alone and focuses on self is not love. For this reason, love is never lonely. You can feel longing for an absent loved one, but you can\u2019t experience the pain of a love that has no beloved\u2014there\u2019s no such thing.\nA major problem in the church is our equation of love with romance. The result is that Christians feel pressure to find \u201cthe one\u201d they love\u2014their soul mate, their spouse. I am pro-marriage, but I am against the notion that we can begin with a vague sense of love toward \u201cthe one\u201d and then sift through all of the candidates until we find him or her. Love requires an object. You can\u2019t love a hypothetical person.\nThis can also cause us to devote all of our \u201clove\u201d(pseudo-love, really) towards a non-existent object rather than directing it toward the people we interact with every day. We can get so caught up in finding someone to love romantically that we fail to love the people that God has placed in our lives, even as we feel the sting of the \u201clove\u201d we think we feel towards the lover who does not exist.\nBecause love is always directed, we are only loveless when we have isolated ourselves from people. With each person comes the potential for love. We thrive as human beings not when we have romance, but when we have love. And love is as near as the person next to you. This may include romance, but it doesn\u2019t have to. It has nothing to do with the lovability of the person; it has everything to do with the choice to love.\nGod first created a solitary man, then declared that it was not good for this one man to be alone (Gen. 2:18). So he created a woman\u2014a wife, yes, but a companion above all. Another human being. An object for his love. Someone to bear with, someone to show patience and kindness.\nLove is never lonely. It is as near as the next person to walk through the door. \u201cLet brotherly love continue,\u201d urges the author of Hebrews (13:1). The choice to love will never leave us lonely, because love is always directed.\nIn Humanity, Relationships, The Christian Life\tChristian Dating, Dating, Love, Marriage, Relationships",

This is the only THI grant funded project that is specifically designed to bring vacant floor space back into use.\nExternally, the upper floor windows have been reinstated to their original and traditional design. Repairs have been carried out to bring the building back into good condition and it has been redecorated.\nWhat was a long-standing empty property has now been converted into comfortable, attractive and well-designed residential properties. Bringing this space back into use will help to enliven the town centre.\nTo the rear of the property, the entire first floor windows had been blanked off; these have now been reinstated to their original window pattern and provide views into the well-looked after church grounds.\nLittle is known about the early history of this building, but it was built sometime in the early 19th century. The building has a prominent position on the corner of Kirk Wynd and Manse Place and frames the view of the Parish Church from Kirk Wynd.

In the current context of China\u2019s \u201crise\u201d and the growing influence of lobbyists calling on Washington to drop perceived irritants in order to improve cooperation with Beijing, it may be tempting to conclude that Taiwan\u2019s time as a sovereign democracy is up, that capitulating to Chinese irredentism is a decision that lies in an inevitable future. Although pessimism seems warranted, historical context helps us understand that the island\u2019s prospects of surviving the People\u2019s Republic of China (PRC) were bleak from the start. What is extraordinary is that nearly 65 years after the birth of the PRC, Taiwan is still here, still vulnerable but nevertheless blessed with a much stronger sense of entity.\nThe Naval Institute Press\u2019 reissue of David M. Finkelstein\u2019s Washington\u2019s Taiwan Dilemma, 1949-1950, first published in 1993, allows us to revisit a period in Taiwan\u2019s early modern history \u2014 that is, following the end of hostilities in World War II and Japan\u2019s relinquishing of what had been its most successful colony \u2014 when its survival seemed highly uncertain and a Communist takeover written in the stars.\nMy book review, published today on Thinking Taiwan, continues here.",

My beloved daughter, you are stronger than you think, because very few chosen souls would be able to deal with this great sacred request in the way that you have. It takes courage to deal with the way in which I communicate with you. You did not run away cowering in fear. You knew right from the first that this was a Divine Communication from the highest and Most Holy Hierarchy.\nYou are going to experience extra enlightenment shortly, which will cast all your doubts away. When this happens your mind will open up more to receive these special graces, which must be bestowed to fill you with the courage and determination needed to help bring about this prophecy.\nYes, My daughter, much to your astonishment you are the chosen one to fulfill the prophecies contained in the Book of John to prepare mankind for the cleansing, which is to unfold shortly. Once the fear, hesitation and uncertainty leaves you, My beloved daughter, you will rise and complete this very special task, that I ask of you. Now do as I say.\nYou are to recite My Divine Mercy at 3 o\u2019clock, each day, to help save souls. You must continue to recite the Rosary given to the world by My most precious Mother, who is to work with Me to prepare for My Second Coming on this Earth.\nMany souls are lost to Me now, with more and more being snatched from Me daily by the evil one. They cannot be taken from Me. Please help Me save their poor souls. Cast all doubts aside. Just remember your task. Help open their eyes to enable them to redeem themselves in the Eyes of My Eternal Father. If you can just keep thinking of the final outcome, you will understand why this is important and why it is a calling made from the Pure Love I hold for all My children in My Heart.\nThink of it like this. The love of a devoted parent knows no bounds. If one child strays and walks the path of doom, the heartbreak and distress caused and felt by the parent is like a sword piercing the heart. Any parent that loves their children will endeavour to fight for them to the end. They never give up \u2013 ever. So it is with Me. I will do everything in My Divine Power, without interfering with man\u2019s free will, to turn their hearts back to My Sacred Heart. You, My daughter, will help Me do this.\nI don\u2019t need to remind you of the need for obedience and complete abandonment to Me. This is the calling for which you have been chosen. Take up your sword now. You have to fight side by side with your Divine Saviour, in one last attempt, to bring about the salvation of all My children, before the Day of Judgement.\nGo now in peace and love to receive My Body today.",

        "raw_content": "Quickbiz Messengers:\nSubmitted By adityakarki\nMark Johnson, one of QuickBiz\u2019s longtime car messengers, was hopelessly stuck in traffic. An accident involving two semitrailer trucks had brought traffic on Interstate 5 to a dead stop. He desperately needed to contact his customer\u2014a medical supply firm\u2014to alert them that his delivery would be delayed. So he used his hands-free cellular phone to call the customer. His contact at the supply firm acknowledged his delay and told him that the supplies were a routine delivery to a hospital pharmacy and not to worry\u2014as long as the hospital received the delivery sometime that day, they\u2019d be fine. Mark apologized for the glitch and promised to get off at the next exit as soon as he could move again. Then he used his group e-mail program to warn other messengers to stay off I-5 for the time being. Maybe he could save somebody else a headache.\nWhen cellular phones with GPS (global positioning service) capability became affordable, Andrew Langston equipped each messenger with such a phone so headquarters would be able to locate and communicate with them instantly, and they would be able to communicate among themselves. Andrew also negotiated a good deal for text messaging. Text messaging was especially important in case cellular services deteriorated, because even in emergencies such as floods or earthquakes, text messaging has proven itself superior to cellular voice service. In addition, text message alerts could be broadcast to the entire delivery fleet. Now messengers could be rerouted around trouble spots. Of course, occasional delays for one or two messengers would still occur, but the problems now could be isolated.\nAs soon as the media began reporting a link between cell phone use and automobile accidents, Andrew decided to purchase hands-free Bluetooth car kits so that messengers could\u2026...\n...------------------------------------------------- Instant Messenger has become one of the most common means of communication. Nearly everyone has it, nearly everyone uses it, and those who use it use it nearly every day. Josh Keys, a guest columnist for the BG News, observes, \"As I walked down the hallway to a friend's dorm room, I couldn't help being distracted by a distinct, yet now common tone coming from almost every room in the hall.... Every day since I've been here, I hear the same tunes: . . . the sound of the very trendy AOL Instant Messenger service (Keys 4). According to a survey that I conducted among students at Bowling Green State University, 30 out of 46 respondents said that they spent as much or more time on conversations through Instant Messenger as through e-mail and/or phone. Twenty-one of these respondents reported that they typically spend more than an hour per day using Instant Messenger. (Survey). In a certain sense this is to be expected. Throughout history, old forms of communication have continually been replaced by new ones. Face-to-face conversations were the only way to communicate before the written word. Communication then advanced from letters to telephone conversations, to e-mail, and now on to Instant Messenger. There are many reasons for accepting this new form of communication. It is more convenient, it is popular, and it allows people to control the conversation and project any image they wish. However, the main reason that Instant......\n...Five Pillars of Islam The central beliefs of Islam are comprised of the principles that Muslims are monotheistic in that they believe there is only one God, Allah. Additionally, Muhammad is the messenger of God. Muslims believe that the God\u2019s oneness is the fundamental belief of all religions and that Muhammad was merely a messenger of this ideal. This is certainly related to the first pillar, both believing and professing the unity of God and His messenger, Muhammad: there is no God but God Himself; Muhammad is the messenger of God. Islam encompasses all religions and honors all prophets as messengers from one God. Shahadah is the first pillar that is the act of believing and saying the words \u201cThere is no god worthy of worship except god and Muhammad is his messenger\u201d. This is at the very heart of Islam. Before Muhammad and his message the Islamic people worshiped many gods. They had a different god for everything, and gave sacrifices to these gods to keep them happy. After Muhammad brought his message people were to only believe in one god and that no other god was worthy of ones worship. Accordingly, there are two primary [human] misdeeds; they are shirk and kufr. They are associated with incredulity and a lack of appreciation of God.They also promote remembering God, and as such, they incorporate the second pillar which involves the performance of a continual round of prayers(Salah). Muslims also believe that covetousness is a bad trait, and as such, they......\n...SCI 321 Research Project July 28, 2012 Mercury - History and Naming Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun, circles the Sun faster than all the other planets in our solar system, which is why the Romans named it after the swift-footed messenger god Mercury (Space exploration, 2013). Human observers have been looking up at Mercury since at least the time of the Sumerians \u2013 the 3rd millennium BC (The planet mercury, 2013). These Greek astronomers believed even then that Mercury (and Venus) both orbited the Sun, and not the Earth. Mercury was the god of commerce, travel, and thievery in Roman mythology, hence the naming of Mercury. Slide 2 Early beliefs of Mercury Mercury was known since at least Sumerian times roughly 5,000 years ago, where it was often associated with Nabu, the god of writing (Mercury, the sun's, 2013). Mercury was also given separate names for its appearance as both a morning star and as an evening star (Mercury, the sun's, 2013). Early beliefs thought that perhaps there were two different planets. However, Greek astronomers knew that both names referred to the same planet (Mercury). Back in the nineteenth century, astronomers made very careful observations of Mercury's orbit, but they could not explain the orbit adequately using Newtonian mechanics (The planet mercury, 2013). There were discrepancies between what they observed and what was mathematics predicted. This problem would last for decades. Einstein's General Theory......\n...often impact the strategy, process, products and services a business provides to their customers. The rest of this paper will examine the impact of innovation on strategy, process, products and services of two businesses, the manufacturing company of Apple Inc and the service company of United Postal Service (UPS). The innovative company UPS began in 1907 as a 19 year-old James Casey's innovative answer to America's need for private messenger and delivery service was American Messenger Company. \"In response to telephone calls received at their basement headquarters, messengers ran errands, delivered packages, and carried notes, baggage, and trays of food from restaurants\" (Insert Messenger Service). American Messenger Company was in competition with other local messenger services. Despite stiff competition the company did well mainly because strict the policies regarding customer courtesy, reliability, round-the-clock service, and low rates (INSERT). Those same principles still guide the company today (insert). American Messenger Company was the beginning of what is now known as UPS, \u201cthe world's largest package delivery company and a leading global provider of specialized transportation and logistics services, UPS continues to develop the frontiers of logistics, supply chain management, and e-Commerce . . . combining the flows of goods, information, and funds\" (INSERT).

The correct acceptance of Mohamed as a messenger is to believe what he brought to us. One of the fundamental article of faith in Islam is believing Messengers. Therefore it is very important to know finality of prophethood and messengership for all muslims. Prophet Mohamed It is clear that the Prophet Mohamed was the Last and the final messenger of Allah from Quran and Sunnah. Glorious Quran mentioned about Prophet Mohamed \u201cRather he is Allah\u2019s messenger and the last of prophets\u201d (Chapter 33, Verse 40). \u201cThere will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who will increase in number.\" [al-Bukhari 4.661] Allah's Apostle set out for Tabuk. appointing 'Ali as his deputy (in Medina). 'Ali said, \"Do you want to leave me with the children and women?\" The Prophet said, \"Will you not be pleased that you will be to me like Aaron to Moses? But there will be no prophet after me.\" [al-Bukhari 5.700] Furthermore, there are many other authentic hadiths providing clear evidences that Prophet Mohamed is the final prophet of Allah. However some deviant sects claim that the above verse only mentioned that he is the final Prophet not the final messenger of Allah by using improper definitions of Prophethood and Messengership. Finality of Prophethood and Messengership In order to precede it, we should know correct definitions of Prophethood and Messengership. People have distinguished between a prophet (nabi) and a messenger......\n...then Oedipus is exonerated. He prays for the witness to deliver him from guilt and from banishment. Oedipus and Jocasta enter the palace to wait for him. Jocasta comes back out of the palace, on her way to the holy temples to pray for Oedipus. A messenger arrives from Corinth with the news that Oedipus's father Polybus is dead. Overjoyed, Jocasta sends for Oedipus, glad that she has even more proof in the uselessness of oracles. Oedipus rejoices, but then states that he is still afraid of the rest of the oracle's prophecy: that he will marry his mother. The messenger assures him that he need not fear approaching Corinth - since Merope, his mother, is not really his mother, and moreover, Polybus wasn't his father either. Stunned, Oedipus asks him how he came to know this. The messenger replies that years ago a man gave a baby to him and he delivered this baby to the king and queen of Corinth - a baby that would grow up to be Oedipus the King. The injury to Oedipus's ankles is a testament to the truth of his tale, because the baby's feet had been pierced through the ankles. Oedipus asks the messenger who gave the baby to him, and he replies that it was one of Laius's servants. Oedipus sends his men out to find this servant. The messenger suggests that Jocasta should be able to help identify the servant and help unveil the true story of Oedipus's birth. Suddenly understanding the terrible truth, Jocasta begs Oedipus not to carry through with his investigation. Oedipus replies......\n...Timbuk2 is a San Francisco-based company that specializes in manufacturing ready-made and custom-made messenger bags. A messenger bag is also called a courier bag. It is a type of sack, usually made out of some kind of cloth worn over one shoulder and often used by bicycle messengers. To its owner, a Timbuk2 bag is a dependable, everyday companion. Many Timbuk2 bags are worn daily for a decade, or more. It is common for a Timbuk2 bag to outlive jobs. Timbuk2 messenger bags commonly incorporate certain technical features that make them suitable for cycling such as specialized fittings for loosening and tightening the main strap, reflective materials, compression and stabilization straps, and waterproof lining. Timbuk2 is popular among bicycle messengers and cycling enthusiasts. Over the years, Timbuk2 messenger bag has outgrown its working-class roots.

In the second paragraph of the Hadith excerpt, the Messenger of Allah said, \u201cIslam is testifying that there is no god but Allah.\u201d An ethical religion testified the appearance of a supreme being who should be emulated for people to follow. The followers also needed to show their faith and their respect by \u201cto perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadan and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so.\u201d Also in the second excerpt, the Messenger of Allah described that Ihsan was \u201cto worship Allah as though you are seeing him\u201d as well as mentioned Iman, which was \u201cis to believe in Allah, His Angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny.\u201d He considered those definitions as the advices that the followers should have faith and believe even though they had not seen physically. The ethical religion convinced its followers to keep their faith and conduct the good deeds would help them to enter the paradise or live the eternal life as what in the fourth excerpt said, \u201cso he behaves like the people of Paradise and thus he enters it.\u201d By using the image of the Messenger of Allah from his first stage in his mother\u2019s belly, the fourth excerpt showed that Allah was observing his people through the notes of his Messengers.

Today, Timbuk2 still manufactures professional bags for bike messengers. The firm has expanded its offerings to include fashion bags for other consumers-and its goals and plans are much broader than they were fifteen years ago. \"Our goal for the future is to remain faithful to our working-class urban roots, while expanding our unique qualities and design sensibilities to a broader range of products and a wider audience,\" states Timbuk2's Web site. \"The difference between strategy and goals is, goals are the endpoint and strategy is the way to get there. The actual steps you take would be the tactics,\" Dwight explains. Timbuk2's current goal is to move from a tiny, specialized market into a broader market. \"Our roots are in the bicycle messenger market ... a subculture that is very interesting.... However, it isn't really a market; there's no growth there. So what we're trying to do is build from that heritage, that authenticity that gives value to our brand as a lifestyle brand,\" says Dwight. \"Then, when we go to sell the company or take it public, there's value there.\" So every effort, from the development of new products to the marketing of existing ones,......\n...version of the battle and the surrounding events is the messenger scene where a messenger is sent from Xerxes to the Spartans looking for. \u201ca simple offering of earth and water... a token of Sparta's submission to the will of Xerxes.\u201d Leonidas replied, \u201cSubmission. Now that's a bit of a problem. See. Rumor has it... the Athenians have already turned you down. And if those philosophers and boy-lovers have found that kind of nerve, then - Spartans have their reputation to consider.\u201d After this rather enlightening statement Leonidas kicks the messenger into the pit behind him shouting, \u201cTHIS IS SPARTA!!\u201d This however contradicts Herodotus's account of the event in his Histories. It is stated that, \u201cTo Athens and Sparta Xerxes sent no demand for submission because of what had happened to the messengers whom Darius had sent on previous occasions at Athens they were thrown into the pit like criminals, at Sparta they were pushed into a well - and if they wanted earth and water for the king, to get them from there.\u201d This differs from Snyder's interpretation considerably as he shows in the film what happened to the messenger and his party but what actually happened to them coincides with what happened to the messengers sent by Darius during the First Persian War according to Herodotus. This shows that Snyder has taken some thematic licence and used some Hollywood style interpretation regarding Herodotus's evidence on the messenger situation that actually occurred in the First......\nThe Structure of Neuron\n...utilizes both electrical signals as well as chemical messengers. The dendrites of neurons receive information from sensory receptors or other neurons. This information is then passed down to the cell body and on to the axon. Once the information as arrived at the axon, it travels down the length of the axon in the form of an electrical signal known as an action potential. Communication Between Synapses Once an electrical impulse has reached the end of an axon, the information must be transmitted across the synaptic gap to the dendrites of the adjoining neuron. In some cases, the electrical signal can almost instantaneously bridge the gap between the neurons and continue along its path. In other cases, neurotransmitters are needed to send the information from one neuron to the next. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that are released from the axon terminals to cross the synaptic gap and reach the receptor sites of other neurons. In a process known as reuptake, these neurotransmitters attach to the receptor site and are reabsorbed by the neuron to be reused. Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are an essential part of our everyday functioning. While it is not known exactly how many neurotransmitters exist, scientists have identified more than 100 of these chemical messengers. What effects do each of these neurotransmitters have on the body? What happens when disease or drugs interfere with these chemical messengers? The following are just a few of the major......\nThinking Critically Essay\nMad Max Essay\nDenial-of-service attack Essay",

        "raw_content": "When scientists discovered a 3.3 million-year-old skeleton of a child of the human lineage (hominin) in 2000, in the village of Hadar, Ethiopia, they were able to study growth and development of Australopithecus afarensis, an extinct hominin species. The team of researchers, led by Zeresenay Alemseged of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, named the fossil DIK 1-1 and nicknamed it Dikika baby after the Dikika research site. The Dikika fossil preserves much of the skull, including the jaw and teeth, which enabled scientists to study the teeth microstructures and to reconstruct the pace at which individuals of the hominin A. afarensis developed.\nResearchers study fossils of juvenile hominins because those fossils illustrate the slow rate at which humans grow. One of the ways humans differ from their closest living relatives, chimpanzees and gorillas, is by their comparatively long childhood period, or period before they acquire the ability to reproduce. Researchers can study this extended childhood through the microstructures of teeth, which preserve the timing of when humans pass through stages such as weaning and tooth eruption. Scientists can reconstruct the life histories of human ancestors to learn when the evolution of the extended childhood appeared in the hominin lineage.\nMore on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia",

        "raw_content": "Florida bike helmet law only applies to riders under 16\nBike riders of all ages should wear helmets to protect them from serious head injuries; however, the Florida statute covering bike regulations only requires riders to wear helmets if they are under the age of 16:\ns 316.2065 \u2013 Bicycle Regulations\n(3)(d) A bicycle rider or passenger who is under 16 years of age must wear a bicycle helmet that is properly fitted and is fastened securely upon the passenger\u2019s head by a strap and that meets the federal safety standard for bicycle helmets, final rule, 16 C.F.R. part 1203. A helmet purchased before October 1, 2012, which meets the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z 90.4 Bicycle Helmet Standards), the standards of the Snell Memorial Foundation (1984 Standard for Protective Headgear for Use in Bicycling), or any other nationally recognized standards for bicycle helmets adopted by the department may continue to be worn by a bicycle rider or passenger until January 1, 2016. As used in this subsection, the term \u201cpassenger\u201d includes a child who is riding in a trailer or semitrailer attached to a bicycle.\n(e) Law enforcement officers and school crossing guards may issue a bicycle safety brochure and a verbal warning to a bicycle rider or passenger who violates this subsection. A bicycle rider or passenger who violates this subsection may be issued a citation by a law enforcement officer and assessed a fine for a pedestrian violation, as provided in s. 318.18. The court shall dismiss the charge against a bicycle rider or passenger for a first violation of paragraph (d) upon proof of purchase of a bicycle helmet that complies with this subsection.\nEven if you wear a helmet, you can still sustain other injuries\nOne of the most common types of injuries resulting from a bicycle accident is a head injury. This is because, often, cyclists are thrown over their handlebars and have little control over the way they land.\nOf course, bicycle riders can help prevent head injuries by wearing helmets. Head injuries can come in the form of bumps, scrapes, gashes, or even fractures of the skull, leading to a greater probability of a resulting brain injury.\nEven though wearing a bike helmet can go a long way in preventing serious head injuries, but bike accidents can result in other major injuries. The types and severity of injuries sustained in a bike crash will depend on some of the following factors:\ntype of impact;\nwhether a helmet or other protection was involved;\nspeed of the parties involved;\nwhether motor vehicles were involved; and\ncondition of the roadway or trail (potholes, construction sites, etc.).\nOther types of bike injuries\nBecause of the nature of exposure when we ride bikes, spinal cord injuries can result when a bicycle crash victim lands on his or her back, neck, or head with the proper amount of force. This can lead to vertebrae fractures or even paralysis.\nFacial injuries.\nCommon facial injuries resulting from bike accidents include the loss or damage of an eye, broken jaw, broken nose, chipped teeth, and extreme scarring that can last a lifetime depending on the severity.\nBroken bones and fractures.\nThe legs, arms, shoulder, back, neck, hip, and almost any other bone in the body could be at risk of suffering a fracture. Multiple bone breaks are not uncommon and could lead to extensive treatment, rehab, and recovery.\nWith no barrier or protection between you and a motorist or an object such as a tree, street, or building, the chance of suffering fatal injuries is possible. When someone you love has been the victim of wrongful death such as this, The Franzen Firm may be able to help.\nBike injury attorney Adam Franzen knows Florida bicycle laws.\nIf you have sustained injuries in a bicycle accident that was not your fault, contact The Franzen Firm today. There are many stipulations in the state of Florida regarding bicycle accidents. Adam Franzen knows the laws and can help you after a bicycle accident.

Many people in the civil society and intergovernmental spheres, whose interest in Internet governance is relatively recent, are potentially disadvantaged in fully participating in the debate by the abstruse technical terminology and concepts. This workshop will serve as a layperson\u2019s introduction to the topology of the Internet, providing definitions and explanations for key terms like transit, peering, hot-potato, exchange point, root and top-level domain name server, routing and forwarding, and the International Standards Organization\u2019s seven-layer protocol model.\nThe sponsoring coalition\u2019s composition is purposely intended to be nonpolitical, focusing instead upon the objective facts of the engineering basis of the Internet, and its composition ensures its adherence to multi-stakeholder principles. Coalition members represent the governmental, NGO, civil society, Internet governance, and commercial sectors, from both developing and developed nations, and the northern and southern hemispheres. A comprehensive spectrum of backgrounds and interests are represented: domain names, number resources, content provision, critical infrastructure, academic networking, datacenters, and regulatory oversight. Moreover, the three speakers each have backgrounds in both commercial and noncommercial networking, with a historical perspective spanning the rise and fall of many different networking technologies. They represent two ethnicities, both genders and three continents. Likewise, the workshop provides different perspectives on the issues under discussion because the backgrounds of the speakers are academic, commercial, governmental, NGO, Internet governance, and technical community, and each speaker has a very different background of professional experience.\nThe Coalition and this workshop are organized in a manner that promotes the terms of the Tunis Agenda in general and paragraphs 8, 9, 18, 23(a), 23(c), 26(g), 27(j), 49, 50(b) and (c), 51, 53, and 72 more specifically.\npolicy -9\nprotocol model -11",

        "raw_content": "Sotnyk: Truba needs to be dismissed and criminal proceedings opened because of abuse of authority\n20 September 2018 17:00 1389\nKyiv: Ukrainian human rights activist, politician, People's Deputy of Ukraine of the VIII convocation from the party \"Samopomich\" Olena Sotnyk in an exclusive interview with Front News International told about violations of the Ukrainian law by Roman Truba, about exceeding his official powers and illegal work of the State Bureau of Investigation.\nRoman Truba was elected Chairman of the State Bureau of Investigation of Ukraine on November 16, 2017. The first contest for the nomination of candidates for senior positions of the SBI was held on September 3, but all 27 contestants were rejected by Truba's decision. The director of the SBI noted that the tender committee had destroyed the results of the polygraph.\nAccording to the latest information, 320 candidates have already been selected in the SBI, and some of them have been assigned to posts.\nAs Roman Truba informed, the final results of the contest will be known by the end of September.\nDuring the meeting in Strasbourg with international partners, the Head of the SBI, Roman Truba, said that it is critically necessary to amend the Law of Ukraine \"On the State Bureau of Investigations\" in the near future in terms of transferring the authority to hold competitions to senior positions from the external commission to the internal commissions of the SBI.\nIt becomes clear that the head of the SBI, Roman Truba, by all means, tries to gain control over departments that can be in any way linked to the bureau. The transfer of the right to conduct competitions for management positions from the external commission to the internal SBI commissions will give Truba the opportunity to conduct a 'dependent' contest, whose results will benefit only him.\nFRONT NEWS INTERNATIONAL - Do you consider the actions of the Chairman of the SBI, Roman Truba, legitimate? Isn't this a violation of the law, if during the year of the legal existence of the department it does not start its work?\nOlena Sotnyk - Obviously I do not. It cannot be the European practice that the law is violated. And Roman broke it when he refused to comply with the established rules. It is clear that he is not satisfied with these people. And why is he not satisfied with them? Because he can not manage them.\nFNI - Is it possible that he is trying to slow down the SBI conduct to work?\nO.S. - I do not think he is trying to slow down. He has his own political purpose. This is the moment when some politicians (representatives of one party) appoint politicians of another party to the leading positions. And he had to pick up such people who would suit him. And we are not talking about those 27 candidates that were rejected. And in general, for this, he should have been fired. It is possible to open criminal proceedings in relation to abuse of office.\nFNI - Do you think that the entity, which has never functioned during the year of its existence, can start to work?\nO.S. - I can not say that this entity has not functioned. It works, if only because it is legally enacted. And what happens inside of it (manipulations and appointments of his people) ... well, on the outcomes of the work he must be addressed before the end of his authority. Then at least something could be understandable.\nTomorrow leaders of Islamic countries\u2026\nThe US Department of State supported\u2026\nDue to unsuccessful launch of\u2026\nPentagon chief will be retiring",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Make a Gift to the Library: Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday\nGSBMS Thesis Prep Class 2: Conducting an Effective Literature Search \u00bb\nSocial Media for Research Dissemination\nEdited by Lara Killian, AHIP\nSocial media has been around for quite a while but has an iffy reputation, especially in the academic community. Social media may seem to be full of trolls and celebrity gossip, but it is also useful in communicating knowledge and as a siren for emergency response. If done right, social media can bring seemingly disparate ideas or communities together in novel and inventive ways.\nThere are many social media platforms to choose from, and they can be used for personal or professional interests. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are the most popular and widely used, while ResearchGate, Academia.edu, LinkedIn, and Mendeley have niche users and are more focused in their respective purposes.\nToday, about two-thirds of Americans get their news from social media [1]. To make sure that reporting is fair, researchers should be weighing in on the latest news. This will help users who gather news and information from social media to make better informed decisions and gather authoritative knowledge of what is happening in the world around them.\nReasons to use social media to disseminate research include:\ndebunk fake news\ncorroborate truth\nwiden research exposure\ncommunicate with peers\nconnect directly with journalists and policymakers\nDespite the popularity and ubiquity of social media platforms, many institutions are leery of social media and, therefore, do not support its use during working hours [2]. This needs to change, especially as the need for experts in these realms grow. As reported in 1985, \u201cScientists must learn to communicate with the public, be willing to do so, and indeed consider it their duty to do so\u201d [3]. Librarians are in a great position to teach, inform, and guide the use of social media, because we embrace new technologies and promote their use as lifelong learners.\nIn the 2010 report, If You Build It, Will They Come? How Researchers Perceive and Use Web 2.0, the authors found that researchers used at least one form of social media to communicate their work, collaborate with colleagues, or keep up with them. The respondents also thought blogs were a waste of time. To combat this notion and raise awareness of social media\u2019s usefulness, the authors suggested that university libraries provide guidance and training on their use and that university administrations develop policies and standards of practice in order to encourage innovation and openness while maintaining security and confidentiality [4].\nBlogging is a great way to disseminate research findings. Blogging can be micro as in Twitter, and it can be macro such as creating your own research blog or guest blogging on other institutional or news platforms. Unless you plan to blog regularly and have a plan, it may be best to look for opportunities to contribute to existing blogs, newsletters, and the like. Check out the Social Media: A Librarian by Any Other Name MLA News column about launching a librarian blog for some food for thought.\nVideo and podcasting have more recently come to light in the academic community. The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) has added short videos on summarizing research findings, called Quick Take Videos. The University of Utah Health Sciences Radio program The Scope produces frequent short podcasts on a variety of consumer health topics, while the Cochrane Collaboration records short podcast summaries of freshly published systematic reviews.\nWith a variety of platforms available, it can be easier than ever to find the one that works for any researcher. By being informed about the options out there, librarians can provide valuable advice to researchers who are looking to communicate beyond the traditional academic journal article.\nA reading list to better equip the librarian/research with the knowledge and use of social media:\nLondon School of Economics and Political Science.

        "raw_content": "MIA: Domestic Violence Reported More Often in 2018\nThe Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) released new statistics today on reports of domestic violence over the last six months.\nThe MIA has introduced special measures to combat domestic violence, violence against women, and hate crimes since January, 2018. The Ministry believes that the actions of the Human Rights Department have had a significant effect on crime. From January 1, 2018 \u2013 July 1, 2018, investigations have been opened on 2,804 cases of domestic crime and criminal prosecutions have begin on 1,933 cases. 1,328 people have been arrested so far this year. The number of restraining orders issued in the last six months is double the number issued in 2017 at 3,292.\nBased on the official investigation conducted by the Inspector General on domestic violence in 2018, disciplinary sanctions were imposed on 10 police officers \u2013 four for improper responses to a domestic offense and six were charged with domestic crimes themselves. Three officers charged with domestic violence were fired from the MIA.\nAmendments were made to the Minister's decree, requiring that any police officer who has a protective order issued against him or her will be deprived of his or her duty weapon.\nWork on the Risk Assessment Instrument and Monitoring Mechanism has been completed, and will be implemented from September 1, 2018, throughout Georgia.\n\u201cThe risk assessment tool and monitoring mechanism will enable us to reduce the risk of violence, provide an early warning for the threat of repeat violence,\u201d read a statement from the MIA.\nBy the end of the year, the use of electronic monitoring bracelets will be implemented to monitor the behavior and movements of high risk criminals.\nAs for hate crimes, in the first six months of 2018, more than 50 people have been arrested for alleged offenses on discriminatory grounds, exceeding the total number of arrests for such crimes in all of 2017.\nA draft bill currently being discussed in Parliament, introduced by the MIA, proposes stricter punishment for domestic violence, making gender-based crimes an aggravating circumstance, stricter punishment for repeat domestic offenders, and making a breach of protective orders a criminal offense rather than an administrative responsibility.\nThe Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia says that it continues its active work preventing domestic violence and violence against women, and to effectively respond to every criminal act.\nPhoto: Ministry of Internal Affairs",

        "raw_content": "Vernon Hershberger Case Puts Food Freedom on Trial\nThe Tight Knit Hershberger Family Steels Themselves. The Government Wants to Close Their Family Farm.\nConsumers\u2019 Right to Opt Out of Conventional Food Supply is at Risk\nWisconsin, the state of cheeseheads and dairy farms, is putting raw milk on trial. Rather, putting private buying clubs for raw milk on trial. Dairyman Vernon Hershberger is a symbol of food rights and freedoms for all U.S. citizens. Vernon, through private contractual arrangement with 200 educated consumers in his community, has built a solid business model that sustainably supports his large family.\nIn a day and age where we have way too many people living off government largess, we have to ask ourselves, is it not the over-regulation of even private commerce that is hindering families from supporting themselves?\nFor consumers who obtain raw milk through private contract, this case is very significant. If the state of Wisconsin succeeds in making this father a criminal for his private concern, some raw milk activists believe the precedent could be used to hinder such dealings elsewhere. Cowshares, goat shares, Community Supported Agriculture, even sharing produce from your backyard garden could fall under scrutiny or be prohibited.\nVernon Hershberger\u2019s Privacy Rights and Right to Contract Under Seige\nVernon is providing life enhancing food to families who are partners in his farm. In many cases, these families have dire need of a pure, clean, untainted natural product. There are numerous health issues which caused families to sign a private contract to procure fresh milk. Because of the heavily controlled dairy industry, fresh milk is hard to come by in a retail setting. Some of the farm\u2019s members find raw milk to be helpful for weight loss, infant formula, allergies, lactose intolerance, allergies to commercial dairy, dermatitis. A number of members in the group found relief from asthma and arthritis symptoms after adding farm fresh milk to their diet.\nA large percentage of members also invest their time and energy in the farm. Members do work on the farm, by sterilizing jars, stocking shelves, sorting and washing eggs, helping milk the cows and with other farm chores, organizing the pantry, etc.\n\u201cThis is our farm, our animals, our food, we have a right to access this food\u201d, says club member, Jenny Delonay.\nRaw milk activists who have supported Vernon Hershberger throught this ordeal say the outcome of his trial could set precedent for all food clubs around the country. If Vernon is found guilty, this hardworking farmer may go to prison for more than a year. It is possible that such a verdict will start a cascade of criminal charges, or the threat of criminal charges against other family farmers around the nation.\nBe a Part of Raw Milk History!\nConcerned citizens are invited by Farm Food Freedom Coalition (FFFC) to attend the trial, May 20-24, 2013. The courtroom will accommodate 80 visitors, and another room of the courthouse holds 200 for overflow. Across the street, another venue which holds 680 will be available where you will be able to view the trial.\nJoin FFFC for a Grow Your Food Freedom meeting and networking event happening in conjunction with the trial. Notable speakers/activists from around the country will be sharing their knowledge at this community event. There will be movie screenings in the evenings. It will be at the Ringling Brothers Theater across the street from the courthouse. (schedule forthcoming) Local/real foods lunches and dinners will be available to purchase. Bring Your Own Raw Milk. Please join the Farm Food Freedom Coalition and stand in solidarity for food and farmer rights.\nWhile Vernon Hershberger is on trial in the courtroom, raw milk is on trial in the court of public opinion.

Price Foundation.\nFiled Under: Raw Milk Tagged With: food freedom, Raw Milk, trial, Vernon Hershberger\nRoyal Morehead says:\nThis is ridiculous! The government has no authority in where I get my food or whom I share it with!\nThis article is missing vital information \u2014 like when and where any of these events you speak so highly of are happening.

Sorry about that!\nLinda, I added the dates of the trial, May 20-24. Thanks for letting me know.\nIs there a reason specifics aren\u2019t posted here? \ud83d\ude42 I was just wondering\u2026.here\u2019s a link to the when and where :\nhttp://farmfoodfreedom.org/updates/action-alert-vernons-trial\nI\u2019m all in favor of raw milk being available, but did Hershberger break the law? It\u2019s easy to see this as a deliberate assault by Big Food (or even just an accidental side-effect of laws that favor Big Food), but if the law is clear and Hershberger was willfully violating it\u2026 the issue is that the law needs to be changed.\nJoy Kline says:\nIt is unfortunate that things have come to this. My children (6) and myself drank raw milk for many years. We didn\u2019t seem to have any adverse effects on us. Many people used the raw milk and never heard of anyone having any problems. It seems that things are out of control. Raw milk won\u2019t cause DUI\u2019s or wreck homes, why not control those things that need to be controlled?\nChef Jem says:\nI\u2019m a very happy member of Vernon\u2019s club! Naturally I want him to prevail in this case, continue farming (just as he has been) and producing some of the very best dairy products that I think humanly possible! I order as much product as I can from Vernon on a monthly basis, sometime twice a month. I have absolutely no complaint about any of his products.\nThen there is the matter of the legal attack by the State of Wisconsin. This is not the first attack against a farmer for providing nutrient-dense foods for his community. These attacks have been occurring for several years. Much has been said and much more can be said about what is involved with these attacks. I generally agree with the assessments that the source of the attacks originate out of the interests of mega food. I don\u2019t think that is difficult for people to understand (unless they refuse to hear about it). What may be difficult to realize is that the legal reality here (and in many other cases) goes beyond the issue at hand and it is this legal reality that needs to be fully identified so that can it be as clearly understood as \u201cthe raw milk controversy\u201d (even though i have said there is no controversy about this real milk).\nAs a friend of the farmers, a passionate American and a lover of humanity I am calling attention to the need to understand the true limits of governmental jurisdiction. That need can be revealed with the statement : \u201cDairyman Vernon Hershberger is a symbol of food rights and freedoms for all U.S. citizens\u201d. This statement essentially identifies all Americans as \u201cU.S. citizens\u201d. As long as Americans (living in the United States of America) identify themselves as United States citizens they unknowingly volunteer into, what amounts to legally as, a foreign jurisdiction. That is because when we talk about the legal realm we must understand the legal definitions and not rely on conventional wisdom for terms and phrases that we may use in our everyday or non-legal conversations.\nThe term \u201cUnited States\u201d has several distinct meanings. The one that is most pertinent for or regarding \u201cUnited States citizens\u201d is the one that properly identifies that term (AKA \u201ccitizens of the United States\u201d) as per the \u201cFourteenth Amendment\u201d (of 1868) in the \u201cConstitution for the United States of America\u201d of September 17, 1787. However, the \u201cConstitution for the United States of America\u201d of September 17, 1787 is the fourth Organic Law and like the pillars in a temple, they all stand together. Most Americans know the first Organic Law: \u201cThe Declaration of Independence\u201d (DoI). However, there are two more Organic Laws that Ameircans need to become about as familiar with as the DoI. Otherwise the proper understanding for \u201cUnited States\u201d can most likely not be had. That is because the term has a very specific meaning given to it in the third Organic Law: \u201cOrdinance of 1787: The Northwest Territorial Government\u201d (which was originally intended to be a temporary government but was made permanent via the Constitution of September 17, 1787). So that is why I have repeatedly blogged on this particular subject at my CureZone Blogs (including \u201cSon of Truth of Self\u201d).\nWe Americans have been schooled into believing that we are U.S. citizens because these individuals are legally subject to the exclusive legislative jurisdiction of Congress and by extension all the \u201cstates\u201d that are under federal rule. Does Vernon live in such a (federal) state? It seems he thinks so and yet only he can say. If Vernon or anyone reads the four Organic Laws they can then follow the perfect logic that is articulated by my law professor Ed Rivera as to how the \u201cUnited States\u201d are actually the distinct federal territories, federal lands within the exterior boarders of the several states and other federal possessions that are subject to the exclusive legislative jurisdiction of Congress. As far as I know Vernon is not on federal land. He was born in Ohio not on a federal territory!. He is truly a red-blooded American and a \u201cfree-inhabitant\u201d in Wisconsin. (You\u2019ll find the term \u201cfree inhabitants\u201d in the second organic law: \u201cArticles of Confederation\u201d.)\nThe people parish for lack of knowledge. It is for this reason that the truth of the organic laws is deliberately not fully revealed to the American people. For with this knowledge we would realize that we already have all the rights that we were born with, including the right to be left alone (no trespassing by agents under color of law). But in order to assert those rights we need to know the proprietary limits of government that are written in the organic laws, otherwise we are fooling ourselves by believing the lies that every geographic location across the United States of America is what the government says it is.\nThe truth will free you from all those lies! Read the organic laws and add substance to the stand for every farmer under siege.\nVernon Hershberger Case Puts Food Freedom on Trial | Biodynamics Blog says:\n[\u2026] Originally posted at hartkeisonline.com [\u2026]\nDavid vs. Goliath Court Case in Wisconsin\u2019s Dairyland | A Campaign for Real Milk says:\n[\u2026] http://hartkeisonline.com/2013/04/30/vernon-hershberger-case-puts-food-freedom-on-trial/ [\u2026]\nHershberger Case Another Victory for Food Freedom - Hartke Is Online! says:\n[\u2026] I had heard of the Hershberger case, it was Kim Hartke\u2019s April 30th blog post, Vernon Hershberger Case Puts Food Freedom on Trial that really got my attention.

        "title": "Recent Discovery Sheds New Light On Long-Time Presidential Rumor",
        "raw_content": "The life and accomplishments of Thomas Jefferson are an essential part of American history and provide valuable insight into the early days of the United States. But while most people know Jefferson for his time in the White House, his life at his Virginia residence is what truly defines this legendary figure.\nFor centuries, the personal history of this famous Founding Father has been shrouded in rumors and conspiracy. Now, thanks to a recent discovery at Jefferson\u2019s permanent home, we finally know the shocking truth\u2026and it\u2019s sure to change American history forever.\nThe primary author of the Declaration of Independence and the 3rd President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson is easily one of the most recognizable figures in American history. But there are things about him that have long gone unexplained.\nAt the age of 26, Jefferson began construction on a 5,000-acre plantation that would go on to serve as his permanent residence until his death in 1826. Located just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, the plantation was dubbed Monticello, which is Italian for \u201cLittle Mountain\u201d.\nWhile Monticello quickly grew to become a top producer of tobacco and wheat, it also gained notoriety for employing hundreds of slaves. With this in mind, a group of historians decided to delve deeper into the history of Monticello\u2026\nThe various research and restoration efforts undertaken at Monticello over the years have collectively become known as the Mountaintop Project. It is through this $35-million initiative that historians hope to bring transparency to the plantation\u2019s questionable past.\nIn 2017, archaeologists began an extensive excavation of Monticello\u2019s main grounds. More specifically, they believed that the foundation of Jefferson\u2019s original home (and the items within) was buried beneath the structure that stands on the grounds today.\nShortly after the excavation began, archaeologists uncovered what was once the original mansion\u2019s kitchen. This unexpected find leads to the further excavation of the area, which resulted in the discovery of what was known as the Jefferson mansion\u2019s South Wing.\nAs historians explored the South Wing, they came upon a peculiar set of slave quarters. After inspecting the area, they were stunned to learn that these quarters had once belonged to the notorious Sally Hemings.\nAccording to the history books, Hemings wasn\u2019t just an ordinary slave: she was actually the half-sister of Jefferson\u2019s wife Martha, conceived from an affair between Martha\u2019s father, John Wayles, and one of his slaves, Betty Hemings.\nAs part of Martha\u2019s inheritance, Hemings and her family came to Monticello in 1773, when Sally was just an infant. Described as \u201cmighty near white\u201d by a fellow slave, Hemings\u2019 mixed race lineage still wasn\u2019t enough to free her from the bonds of servitude. Or so she thought.\nIn 1787, a 14-year-old Hemings accompanied young Mary Jefferson to Paris where her father was serving as the United States\u2019 minister to France. It is here that many historians believe that Jefferson and Hemings began a romantic relationship.\ntrialsanderrors / Flickr\nAs Sally began having children, rumors swirled throughout Virginian society about Jefferson\u2019s relationship with his slave. Not only were Sally\u2019s children considerably more light-skinned than she was, but a few of them even looked suspiciously like her master\u2026\nA journalist who had been slighted by Jefferson years earlier published a scathing accusation in the Richmond Recorder in an attempt to discredit Jefferson\u2019s legitimacy as a presidential candidate. Jefferson denied the rumors, of course, and was elected President in 1801.\nAlthough Jefferson never admitted to his affair with Hemings, he did eventually free all four of her children. It has also been confirmed that following Jefferson\u2019s death, Hemings was granted her freedom by Jefferson\u2019s eldest daughter, Martha, and went on to live as a free woman with her two sons, Madison and Eston.\nEston Hemings went on to play a key role in solidifying the claim that Jefferson fathered Hemings\u2019 children during a 1990 DNA study. After comparing DNA taken from descendants of both Jefferson and Sally Hemings, scientists conclusively determined that, at the very least, Jefferson fathered Eston Hemings.\nSo how does the discovery at Monticello relate to the controversy surrounding Jefferson and Hemings? Well, after historians consulted the blueprints of Jefferson\u2019s original home, they found that Jefferson\u2019s bedroom was actually connected to Hemings\u2019 quarters.\nPhysical evidence discovered at the site also confirmed that Hemings maintained a lifestyle that was significantly better than that of her fellow slaves. Rather than living in cramped shacks, Hemings had her own quarters and other special treatment.\nSince the discovery of Hemings\u2019 quarters, special efforts have been made to restore the entirety of the South Wing as a tourist attraction dedicated to Hemings\u2019 life. For the first time, there will be a space at Monticello to commemorate this previously unknown woman\u2019s place in American history.\nThe Mountaintop Project has also made a dedicated effort to teach the visitors of Monticello about the lives and struggles of the slaves who resided there during Jefferson\u2019s lifetime. With these new revelations about Hemings coming to light, several tours have also been added that shed light on Sally and her family.\nAs historians and curators work to restore Monticello to its former glory, the story of Sally Hemings has become an integral part of the shaping of Jefferson\u2019s narrative. It is their hope that by incorporating Hemings\u2019 existence into Jefferson\u2019s story, the two can finally hold a permanent place in history together.\nCheck out the video below to learn more about the history of Monticello and the complicated story between Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings.",

        "title": "Relationship Mistakes Guys Make - Get Back an Ex Girlfriend",
        "raw_content": "Worst Relationship Behaviors That Will Drive Women Away\nAs men go through relationships they can get very set in their ways. Some develop behaviors that might seem innocent enough in their eyes, but which are actually turning women off or driving them away. Getting your ex to come back to you is only half the process; keeping her happy is the tougher part.\nBelow is a list of common behaviors that many women have problems with. Read and learn them, and try to identify if you're exhibiting one or more of them in any of your current or past relationships. Some of them could be the very reasons your ex broke up with you in the first place.\nPossessive or Controlling Behavior\nWomen can be extremely social. A girl who's popular or has many friends is often very attractive, and men are drawn to the fun and excitement of that type of situation. Yet once the dating process begins, some men find it necessary to cut a girl off from her friends, activities, and even family. The more time they spend with their girlfriend, the more time some guys seem to demand. Little by little, the girl disappears from her usual scene and becomes more of a social captive. This is a possessive relationship.\nOne of the big dangers of being possessive is that it happens so gradually, some guys don't even know they're doing it. Some girls don't recognize the signs of it either, until one day they take a look around and realize they have no friends, hobbies, or life outside of seeing their boyfriend. This is wholly unhealthy, and will lead her to resent you. Even if she's not vocalizing her resentment, the fact that you're not letting her do her own thing is building up inside her.\nIf you find yourself always wanting to know where your girlfriend is, what she's doing, and who she's with - you're being a controlling boyfriend. If you're laying a guilt trip on your girl whenever she wants to go out with friends, you're stifling her individual personality. What you consider \"caring\" is actually bordering on obsession. You need to stop, step back, and give your girlfriend some breathing room. Still trust and care for her, but also allow her a life of her own. Do this and she'll be happier in her relationship, as well as appreciate you on all new levels.\nConstant Moodiness\nWhen you met your girlfriend you were happy, funny, and doing all sorts of cool things to impress her. But now that you've been dating a while? The two of you have settled into a more casual role, which is completely normal. The one thing to look out for though, is constant unhappiness. When one of you is eternally in a bad mood, the other one can't have any fun. Moodiness can put a huge drag on any relationship.\nIf this moody person is you, try to be aware of it. We all have bad days, and each of us deserves to be comforted on those days by a loving and supporting partner. But if you're having more bad days than good, chances are you're using brooding behavior to garner attention from your girlfriend. This works for a while, and it could feed into you very often acting a lot more upset than you really are. Over time, your girl will grow tired of always trying to cheer you up. She'll develop an attitude of your own, and then suddenly neither one of you are happy.\nKeep an honest eye on your own attitude. The next time you feel upset or depressed about something, pick it apart and see if you're not playing it up to be worse than it really is. Getting into a good mood is a great way of putting your girlfriend into the same frame of mind. Happiness is contageous. But constantly brood over everything, and your girl might end up leaving you for greener pastures.\nInsecurity and Lack of Confidence\nAsk women what they look for in a man, and nearly all of them will list the same attribute: confidence. Women want to feel safe and protected; they want a man who's sure of himself at all times. Girls who say vulnerability in a man is a cute trait are being just that - cute. Deep down, every woman wants a strong, confident man who can take care of himself... and them.\nIf you aren't in charge of your own situation, odds are your girlfriend isn't going to be all that impressed with you for very long. Insecure behavior is a HUGE turnoff to women. They don't want to see you feeling weak or unsure about much of anything. And if you're being insecure about them? This is an even bigger turnoff. When they're constantly having to answer for their time, who they were with, and what they were doing, being in a relationship with you becomes more of a chore than a romance. This very quickly will make a girl wonder why she's with you in the first place.\nIf you find yourself seeking constant reassurance, compliments, or positive feedback from your current girlfriend, she's probably not that far off from becoming your ex-girlfriend. Man up. Put an end to all those half-assed fears and start thinking in a more positive light. Winning back an ex is all about displaying the traits that are desirable to the female point of view, and one of these is charisma. A little confidence goes a long way toward building you up in a woman's eyes. A lack of it will be immediately noticable, and will put you at a disadvantage when compared with other men.\nCheck out this complete list of behaviors that women consider desirable in a man. Not only will they make you more attractive to women, they'll actually help better yourself in almost every aspect of your life.\nSome guys are better than others when it comes to showing their feelings for a girlfriend. While being overly emotional can be detrimental to a girl's opinion of you (you don't want to get too clingy), not showing enough love or caring for your girlfriend can leave her feeling alone and detached. Do this long enough, and she's going to find someone else to fulfill those needs for her.\nYou don't need to be a total sweetheart 100% of the time in order to be a good boyfriend. Calling her at least once a day is a good start. If you're going 2 or 3 days without ringing her up, she's going to get the impression you don't need her all that much. If this is just the way you operate, that's fine - but you might want to consider modifiying your communication skills before you suddenly find yourself single.\nIt's true that many girls like their guys to be the strong, silent type. What they don't often mention is that you've got to be a sweetheart at the same time. The best guys can put out an aura of cool confidence around everyone else, but at home behind closed doors they turn into a complete teddy bear. Girls eat that stuff up.\nGame playing is something both men and women are equally guilty of. During the course of your dating life, you've probably seen several different kinds of relationships. In some of them, maybe you held held all the cards. In others, maybe you always seemed to be at a disadvantage. It's not uncommon to see couples at odds with each other for totally silly reasons, with each partner vying for their fair share of power. Their relationship soon becomes a game, each person struggling to be the one who's \"winning\".\nTo maintain a successful long term relationship, you'll need to break out of this mindset. Just as you can't stand the drama associated with an overly emotional girlfriend, you shouldn't be perpetuating game playing through your own childish behavior. This type of tit-for-tat competition probably dates back to high school, where lots of these games began. When you can finally shrug this off, you're going to find that your future relationships will be a lot more drama-free.\nRecognize game-playing behavior as soon as it starts, so you can step on it early. If you've got a partner who wants to play, shut it down right away. Letting her know you won't be participating in that kind of mutual mental torment might even be a relief to her, and the two of you can move forward working together as a team. It's the best way to keep your relationship healthy.\nWhat To Do If She Already Broke Up With You\nIf this guide comes too late, there are things you can do to reverse your break up. The sooner you act, the better your chances of getting your ex girlfriend back. The following two resources are considered the best of the best when it comes to fixing your broken relationship. Regardless of how she broke up with you or why, there are proven techniques you can use that will make her want you back.\nJoin thousands of couples that have already gotten back together with their ex!\nThe author's unique approach details guaranteed methods of success\nyou can begin using immediately, in just minutes.\nWondering why everything you've done so far has only served to push your girlfriend further away? That's because to get her back, you need to do the opposite of what you feel you should be doing.\nFind out how reversing your current behavior will make her want you back, and how the smallest of actions on your part will yield big results in getting your ex to come running back to you.

Marrying hip hop with poetry and literature brings to mind the things those subjects have in common; they are composed of more than just words about social injustices, love, and life itself, but of raw and powerful emotion and truth.\nIn hip hop, just like in literature, you will find themes reflecting the condition of the times, artistically crafted words to express worldly perspectives, rhythm, patterns, metaphors and more. A true wordsmith crafts his or her lines with intention and that can be said about poets, writers and emcees alike. However, hip hop is scored with its signature style, unlike anything before its first emergence in the 1970s. This style took the world by storm and not only became a huge market by the 1980s, but was, and still is, a tremendous voice for historically oppressed men and women, a true art form, and arguably the best music to dance to.\nSo put on your Nae Nae shoes and wobble your way downtown to the Julia Ideson Building on Saturday, July 28th. You will be able to witness the striking performance of Houston's own Poet Laureate and an established force in the world of slam poetry, Deborah \"D.E.E.P.\" Mouton, and get to know her story. You will also get a chance to meet the world famous hip hop legend, Slick Rick!

        "title": "Workers' Compensation Injuries - Diseases and Traumatic Injuries",
        "raw_content": "Workers' Comp: Types of Injuries\nThe Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 2009 approximately 3.3 million people were injured or sickened and another 4,340 people died because of workplace illnesses or injuries. Worse still, on-the-job injuries and illnesses are underreported \u0097 the actual count is likely two to three times greater.\nMany employees who are hurt while on the job suffer traumatic injuries, such as cuts, bruises and broken bones from slip and falls or other work-related accidents. Other employees develop repetitive stress injuries, lung diseases like black lung and mesothelioma, and other occupational diseases over a longer period of time from overuse or continued exposure to a harmful substance.\nFortunately, workers' compensation benefits are available to most workers (and survivors of deceased workers) who become injured or ill in the course of employment, whether or not it was the worker's fault. A workers' compensation attorney will fight to get you the maximum benefits available under the law.\nWas The Injury On The Job?\nIn order for an injury or illness to be covered by workers' compensation, the accident or exposure must have occurred at work or within the scope of employment. If you have filed a workers' compensation claim, the employer or insurer might try to disqualify your claim by arguing you were \"off the clock\" because you were injured when:\nOn lunch break\nOn a coffee break\nAttending a company social event\nEven in these cases, workers' compensation often applies. For example, the \"off the clock injury\" is probably covered if you were with a co-worker, using a company car, or having lunch or coffee in a cafeteria or company break room. Furthermore, as technology makes employees more and more accessible to employers around the clock, the lines are even blurrier.\nWorkers' Compensation: Traumatic Injury\nEvery day, thousands of U.S. workers visit emergency rooms for treatment of work-related traumatic injuries (see sidebar). The U.S. Department of Labor defines a traumatic injury as \"a wound or other condition of the body caused by external force, including stress or strain. The injury must be identifiable as to time and place of occurrence and member or function of the body affected. It must be caused by a specific event or incident \u0097 or series of events or incidents \u0097 within a single day or work shift.\" Sprains and strains, fractures, burns, back and spinal cord injuries, crush injuries, concussions and other traumatic injuries are often the result of:\nAssaults and violent acts\nIf you are injured at work you should call 911 or seek medical care right away. As soon as you are released from emergency care, consult a workers' compensation attorney.\nSnapshot of Recent Illnesses and Injury Statistics\nIn 2009, 965,000 employees who filed workers' compensation cases had illnesses or injuries that were severe enough that they missed one or more days of work. Other notable statistics for injuries and illnesses occurring in 2009 in the private sector include:\n379,340 cases involved sprains, strains, and tears\n195,150 cases involved injuries to the back\n212,760 cases involved falls\n768 fatalities from highway incidents\n579 fatalities from falls\n440 fatalities from homicides\nEmployees or survivors of employees who are injured or sickened on the job should speak to a workers' compensation attorney about their rights to lost income, medical care and other benefits.\nWorkers' Compensation: Occupational Disease\nThe U.S. Department of Labor defines occupational disease as \"a condition produced in the work environment over a period longer than one workday or shift. It may result from systemic infection, repeated stress or strain, toxic exposure, poisons, fumes, or other continuing conditions of the work environment.\" Examples of occupational injury or illness include:\nMusculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, thorasic outlet syndrome and tendonitis. These injuries usually involve overuse or repetitive motion and are often seen in manufacturing, food processing, assembly lines, and computer users.\nOccupational lung diseases such as asthma, bronchitis, silicosis, asbestosis, mesothelioma, and coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black lung disease). These injuries are caused by exposure to dust and other toxic materials and are seen in manufacturing, firefighting, mining, construction, sandblasting, and office work.\nHearing loss as a result of repeated exposure to loud noise. These injuries are common to agriculture, construction, manufacturing, transportation and service.\nPre-existing conditions that are exacerbated on the job/within the scope of employment are also covered injuries under workers compensation.\nWorkers' Compensation: Medical Benefits\nMedical care necessary to treat work-related illness and injury is fully covered by workers' compensation. This includes, but is not limited to, doctor's visits, diagnostic testing, medications and surgery. Pre-existing conditions that are exacerbated because of employment are also covered. Except for emergency treatment, the treating physician is chosen by the employee, employer, workers' compensation insurance carrier, or the state, depending on applicable state law.\nThe time limit to file a claim for a traumatic injury usually commences on the date of the injury.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb musings \u00bb Ask me anything\nI have noticed over the past weeks that more and more people are joining formspring.me, a social networking site based on asking people questions. As with many things, I didn\u2019t jump on the bandwagon right away because I wondered what the point was. Who is really going to ask me questions? Who really cares enough to ask me anything? I suppose that is kind of the point though, who knows what questions you might get or who might ask them.\nWell, I jumped on the bandwagon and created a formspring account for myself. If nothing else it will help me to continue to keep my handle \u201cicewolf08\u201d on as many networks as I can. Sure, there are a zillion sites that I could sign up for to protect my handle, but I usually only sign up for the ones that might be interesting to me. I suppose the other thing is that I kinda hope that maybe people would actually ask me questions. In fact I think that it would be really fun if I get any good questions to use them as the impetus for new blog posts.\nAn interesting question is: Why are we so fascinated by what other people think about us and what they want to ask us? Often times these people that we want to ask us questions or leave comments on our blogs are people we don\u2019t even know except through the comments they leave or the posts that they write on their own blogs. What is it that excites us about getting some kind of response or feedback from these people we don\u2019t really know?\nWe have this need to feel important, to feel recognized. Or at least I think that is what it is. I think that is what drives us to share so much about ourselves in such a public way. It is fun to find people who have some kind of interest in what we are doing or what we have to say. So, ask me anything! Let\u2019s see what happens!\nhttp://www.formspring.me/icewolf08\nYou will always be able to ask me a question from the page under contact me in my menu or right from my formspring page!",

        "raw_content": "According to the legend, theatre improvisation is the first Art of human history\u2026\nWhen Adam came back from his first hunt, Eve asked him how it went\u2026 Surprised by the new situation, Adam had to improvise a \u2018convincing\u2019 answer for Eve, both in case of success (=something to eat) and failure (=starving, again\u2026). We do not know if Adam was a good hunter or they were mainly relying on Eve (probably\u2026), but for sure Eve liked his stories, she fell in love with him, and thanks to improvisation we are here now. Accordingly, many experts have argued that probably T-Rexes were not very good improvisers\u2026 but that\u2019s another story.\nMy dear fellows who have joined this group have often asked me \u201cwhy to play impro?\u201d. They have explicitly asked me to write this page to convince new people to join us, to play improvisational theatre, to have fun together, and so on.\nI thought about this page for weeks. It should be the most important one. I should write something \u2018smart\u2019 because now everything has to be smart. I could say that I have started playing improvisation because I have always enjoyed theatre since I was a shy teenager (and maybe I still am\u2026), but I was terrible in memorizing scripts\u2026 and then improvisation was the only solution.\nYet, in reality, I do not have an answer. Just come and try! Improvisation is about life because we live without a script, we love without a script, we make friends without a script. Improvisation is about creativity, every human being is creative, but too often this creativity is repressed because \u201cthis is not serious\u201d, \u201cyou are too emotional\u201d, \u201cyou need to be prepared\u201d\u2026 I would like to convince everybody that s/he can be creative, can express her/himself through a collective game. Everybody can tell an amazing story. Yes, I am absolutely convinced that together is better, more interesting, more exciting\u2026 more everything!\nI could tell you that improvisation develops your public speaking, listening, interaction, active listening (because, yes, listen is an active action!), for body language\u2026 I know that theatre improvisation has started also because, after the War, there were not enough psychologists to take care of veterans, and this was a kind of therapy, but I am going too far (the real story is longer and by far more complex, you can read more here).\nWhy play in another language? An interesting point. There is a strong difference between playing in your mother tongue and playing in English. In my view, this helps us a lot, really a lot, although we do not always understand it, we often misunderstand one another, and we mix terrible accents with excellent speakers. We often improvise across languages, we invent words, we are lost even in the alphabetical order. It doesn\u2019t matter. It simply doesn\u2019t matter. Only thing that matters is that we want to play, together.\nI am not a professional improviser, this is not my job, but I do like it and I like to share it with others. And I am happy not to be alone. I know that there are other good things to do. I know I could speak about this for hours. I can say I am convinced that improvisation should be mandatory in all schools, all HRs should do it in any working environment, and it should be suggested also in retirement homes. I know also that, once you will have tried, you will agree with me.\nIf you speak French, this is an interview I did with more info\u2026",

        "raw_content": "Buddhist text\u2019s true author identified as Thai woman\nBy Samanthi Dissanayake\nA little-known Thai woman has been identified by researchers as the most likely author of an important Buddhist treatise, previously attributed to a high-profile monk.\nThammanuthamma-patipatti is a set of dialogues, supposedly between two prominent Thai monks last century.\nIt had been attributed to one of them \u2013 Venerable Luang Pu Mun Bhuridatta.\nBut scholars believe it was really by a female devotee, making her one of the first Thai women to write such a text.\nPrinted in five parts between 1932-1934, initially without a named author, Thammanuthamma-patipatti (Practice in perfect conformity with the Dhamma) is viewed in Thailand as a valuable and profound Buddhist text which deals with Buddhism\u2019s different stages of awakening.\nDr Martin Seeger from the University of Leeds believes he has traced the authorship of the text to one Khunying Yai Damrongthammasan \u2013 a wealthy and extremely devout woman who developed an impressive knowledge of Buddhist scriptures during her lifetime.\n\u2018Profound text\u2019\nMs Yai Damrongthammasan was born in 1886 to Thai nobility and grew up in Bangkok. Unlike most women in Thailand at the time, she was taught to read and write and, having studied with monks, she reportedly developed a sophisticated understanding of Buddhist doctrine.\nAfter her husband died, she retired to a Buddhist monastery in southern Thailand where she meditated and studied scripture until her death in 1944.\n\u201cFor those who know the text, it is very profound and significant and it has been reprinted many times,\u201d Dr Seeger says.\nKhunying Yai Damrongthammasan was wealthy and extremely devout\nDr Seeger, who was also ordained as a Buddhist monk in Thailand between 1997 and 2000, recalls how he owned the book when he was studying Buddhism.\nAt the time he did not even consider that it might have been by anybody other than the Venerable Luang Pu Mun \u2013 who is revered in Thailand and was a founder of the Thai Forest Tradition revival movement.\nBut a friend of his insisted that something about the text did not add up: \u201cWhen [my friend] said he heard that a woman may have written it, I became interested,\u201d Dr Seeger says. This interest intensified particularly as he had never heard of Ms Yai Damrongthammasan before.\nWith a grant from the British Academy, Dr Seeger set about investigating this thesis. The first clue came in a biography by her adopted son \u2013 who was also ordained as a monk \u2013 in which he said that the treatise had been written by her.\nWrongly attributed?\nDr Seeger interviewed people who had met Ms Yai Damrongthammasan and descendants of those who had known her. He , researched biographies of various monks, cross-checking different sources until, he says, it became clear that she must have been the author of the book.\nThere are also several clues within the text which indicate that it was unlikely to have been written by a monk.\nVenerable Luang Pu Mun Bhuridatta\nis revered in Thailand\nIn fact, none of the most authoritative biographies of Luang Pu Mun ever claimed that he wrote it. He was only credited with authorship in later editions of the book, which featured pictures of him and another monk on the cover. Dr Seeger thinks it unlikely that Ms Yai Damrongthammasan ever met Luang Pu Mun.\nThe monk died in 1949, a national figure, and the text appears to have been attributed to him after that.\nDr Seeger believes some followers of Luang Pu Mun may disagree with his findings. The Thai Forest Tradition movement has monasteries worldwide, including four in the UK.\nBut Justin McDaniel, associate professor of South-East Asian and religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania, says he does not think it is likely to provoke controversy.\n\u201cYou have to understand that authorship in Thailand is never considered to be by just one person. This idea that a single person owns ideas is seen as a ridiculous notion,\u201d he said, adding that authorship is often seen as a composite.\nHe adds that the idea that Ms Yai Damrongthammasan produced the text is consistent with how women were viewed at the time.\n\u201cAt that time and in the present day, women were seen as having the same capability when it came to Buddhist scholarship as men, especially in the realms of meditation and scholarly study.\u201d\nIndeed in 2006, of the top 100 scores in the highest level of Thailand\u2019s monastic exams, 97 were by women.\n\u201cI think it\u2019s actually a lot more common than people realise, that students of monks \u2013 and especially women who tend to focus more on scholarship \u2013 would be writing,\u201d Dr McDaniel says.\nWomen were seen as having\nwhen it came to\nBuddhist scholarship as men?\nJustin McDanielUniversity of Pennsylvania\nHumble but charismatic\nEven though little direct evidence survives, stories about Ms Yai Damrongthammasan have been passed down generations from people who knew and met her \u2013 attesting, Dr Seeger says, to her charisma.\nAnd her achievements, being able to read and write and her knowledge of canonical scripture, were very rare for a woman at that time. There was only one other woman who in 1928 wrote a similar text but she was a princess and Dr Seeger says it does not achieve the same level of profundity as this work.\n\u201cWe have been looking for the original manuscript,\u201d he says, but much has been destroyed in the area where she lived out her last years.\nHowever, Ms Yai Damrongthammasan never claimed authorship of the book and Dr Seeger says \u201cthe real reason that Khunying Yai decided to omit her name from the first edition might never be known\u201d.\nHe says there are several possibilities: people may have considered it inappropriate for a woman to discuss Buddhist doctrine at such a profound level at the time or she may have thought that Buddhist doctrine should be independent of an individual.\nShe may also have wanted to remain anonymous out of respect because of conversations that took place with a group of women who met regularly in the temple of Wat Sattanatpariwat to discuss Buddhism \u2013 but there is no evidence to confirm the dialogues are based on these.\nMs Yai Damrongthammasan\u2019s life story is striking: from wealthy wife to a reclusive life of meditation.\nHer husband, a well-known judge, had been cremated at one of the most prestigious places in Bangkok, but her funeral was a simple affair that took place on a beach in southern Thailand.\n\u201cIt appears as if she was also a very humble person and not interested in promoting herself,\u201d Dr Seeger says.\nFunds from Khunying Yai Damrongthammasan allowed this temple to be built",

I haven\u2019t stepped foot in the grocery store for a week\u2026but that\u2019s just me being lazy\u2026probably doesn\u2019t count\u2026\nNicole Mc Says:\nGood for you!! I was in the same boat, i went to Target tonight..BUT, i paid for 80% of my bill with a gift card from Christmas. So technically i only spent 15. Not bad, i told my self NO thru the whole store. It really does get easier!!\nO.K. Target I get but how do you get away without going to the grocery store? I have 1/3 fewer kids than you do and I think I\u2019ve been to the grocery store three times in the last week!\nAwesome! I think the last time I did that was when we had a blizzard last Tuesday and we couldn\u2019t get out of the house. LOL\nI realized today when I walked into Target that I hadn\u2019t been into a store in over a week. It was strange at first that I hadn\u2019t and then strange that I thought it was strange that I hadn\u2019t.\nBefore the kids, the only shopping I did regularly was grocery shopping roughly once a month for Hubs and I.\nThinking back to walking into Target, it was the bright lights that made me realize I hadn\u2019t been in a store for that long.\nIt\u2019s such a crazy thing. Or maybe it\u2019s just me. Let us know when you do set foot in a store again if it\u2019s weird to you\u2026 that way I know I\u2019m not just weird. :-p\nNot even groceries?\nOn grocery-stores, by the way, sometimes people here say the local IGAs are more expensive than the super-duper-mega-giga-grocery store, and maybe that\u2019s true for individual items . . but I find I spend less overall at the little IGAs because I\u2019m not spotting all these really intriguing exciting food items that are making me plot gourmet meals in my head. Then again, as you dislike cooking (and can\u2019t eat anything fun anymore), maybe that\u2019s not a problem for you!\nWe went to home depot last night for rock salt and fluorescent lights.\nThat\u2019s what we got.\nWe live large.\nI\u2019m right here in the trenches with you.\nIncluding \u2018virtual\u2019 shops?! Well done\u2026\nbravo!! you\u2019re doing it!\nNot even a grocery store? But that won\u2019t count, because those are necessities. Hmmm\u2026 What about \u201cservices,\u201d like hair salons? I haven\u2019t \u201cshopped\u201d this week, but I did go to two salons for hair color and then a wax (the latter which my husband and I both consider a necessity). I spent $200 on the combined trips, and feel guilty, though it doesn\u2019t actually increase the JUNK accumulation in our house.\nGood for you! I admire what you\u2019re doing. Wish I had the guts!\nI\u2019ve only been to the grocery store this week!\nI\u2019m trying to follow your example.\nThat\u2019s HUGE! Keep it up!\nJennic Says:\nI\u2019ve read with interest with the purging and de-cluttering. It\u2019s a great way to kick off the new year. God knows we also have so much stuff. The matter is, can I let go of some of them..\nI\u2019m curious, does this one-week \u201coff\u201d also apply to no online purchases?\nare you shaking? It\u2019s like shopping detox.\nAre you sure you don\u2019t want to at least go grocery shopping? It\u2019s about to snow and that\u2019s always my favorite time to shop. I must be weird, though, because I don\u2019t think I need 14 loaves of bread like everyone else apparently does.\nI\u2019ve been reading this all with interest and must say KUDOS to you! This is a great thing you\u2019re doing on a variety of levels. Not just to reduce our stuff, but also to reduce waste, reduce greed, reduce \u201cwant\u201d and really reshape your frame of mind towards money and stuff.\nI don\u2019t want this to sound ugly, because I truly do not mean it that way at all. Just be thankful that this is an experiment of sorts for you. There are many people who are in the same situation, but they don\u2019t shop because they don\u2019t have any extra money to shop. They don\u2019t have a credit card to fall back on to support their shopping habits. They\u2019re broke. They are avoiding stores because they have to, not because they want to.\nIt is a good position to be in when you CAN shop, but choose not to.\nThat is great! I\u2019ve already been to the store twice this week Keep up the great work!\nAre you sure you are okay? Do we need to rush you some emergency chocolate or something?\nSince we have been on a financial diet, I have been looking forward to grocery shopping and Target. I do them once a week and then have a smoke after. I am on a budget for both, so I just walk around, especially Target, and convince myself that I don\u2019t need any of that stuff. Oddly, I am not too depressed afterward.\nWhat can I say? I\u2019m in awe.\nAnd think of all the stuff that you won\u2019t have to get rid of in years to come!\nnow that is impressive\u2026 but i need to know where DID you go? i can\u2019t stay home all week, i lose my mind.\nBut how does it feel?\nIsn\u2019t it a great feeling?!\nI\u2019m with Alissa - did you get out somewhere, anywhere?\nChris says: I went lots of places\u2026 doctor appointments, kids art lessons, the library, etc\u2026 just no stores.\nI haven\u2019t been shopping in a long time, either. But I must confess that it\u2019s because I am unable to drive because I broke my left arm on New Year\u2019s Eve.\nThanks for this interesting blog, Chris. There is much to think about here - and right now I have a lot of time to sit and think.\ngreat job! Other than food shopping I haven\u2019t been in a store since well before the holidays",

We then focused on a thorough and deliberative search for his successor,\" Norman continued. \"We selected Ilene Gordon because of her strong leadership skills, international experience, and knowledge of commodity businesses and the food and beverage industry.

        "raw_content": "Abbott Exercises Its Option to Acquire Ibis Biosciences, a Subsidiary of Isis\nTotal acquisition price will be $215 million\nAcquisition will expand Abbott's position in molecular diagnostics for infectious disease\nCARLSBAD, Calif. and ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Dec. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Isis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ISIS) and Abbott (NYSE: ABT) announced today that Abbott has exercised its option to purchase the remaining equity ownership in Ibis Biosciences, Inc., an Isis subsidiary, for a closing purchase price of $175 million. In addition to the closing purchase price, Isis will receive earn out payments from Abbott tied to post-closing sales of Ibis systems, including instruments and assay kits.\nEarlier this year, Abbott invested $40 million in Ibis in exchange for approximately 18.6% of Ibis' outstanding equity. This investment, along with the $175 million that would be due at closing, would result in a total acquisition price of $215 million plus earn out payments.\nThe closing of the acquisition of the remaining equity ownership in Ibis is subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of a stock purchase agreement that has been executed by the parties, including obtaining clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and is expected to occur in January, 2009.\n\"Abbott's confidence in Ibis is reflected in its decision to invest in Ibis' technology and to exercise its option to purchase Ibis. We have already presented development plans for the next-generation instrument that will facilitate our rapid growth into clinical diagnostics,\" said Michael Treble, President of Ibis. \"This year we have made substantial progress by advancing our broad pathogen detection and characterization capabilities and establishing a foundation for our commercial clinical diagnostic products. We look forward to continuing this progress.\"\n\"The broad applicability of Ibis' technology has been demonstrated in biodefense applications, microbial forensics and infectious disease detection and surveillance, and we believe that it has the potential to be a powerful tool in the detection and surveillance of infectious diseases in the hospital and clinical settings,\" added Stafford O'Kelly, Vice President, Molecular Diagnostics, Abbott.\n\"Ibis is an example of Isis' broad innovation, and will provide substantial benefit to our shareholders, both now as well as in the future, as Isis receives earn out payments associated with sales of Ibis products,\" said Stanley Crooke, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of Isis. \"Ibis has refined its approach toward larger commercial markets, and we believe its relationship with Abbott will allow Ibis to continue to move quickly forward along this path.\"\nIbis Biosciences, Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Isis Pharmaceuticals, has developed and is commercializing the Ibis T5000(TM) Biosensor System for rapid identification and characterization of infectious agents. The Ibis T5000 is currently intended for research use only and not for use in diagnostic procedures. It is capable of identifying virtually all bacteria, viruses and fungi, and can provide information about drug resistance, virulence and strain type of these pathogens. Commercial applications for the Ibis T5000 Biosensor System include epidemiologic surveillance, monitoring of pandemic diseases, identification of emerging or previously unknown pathogens, forensic characterization of human samples, identification of sources of hospital-associated infections, and, in the future, human infectious disease diagnostics. Ibis develops, manufactures and markets Ibis T5000 instruments and assay kits. Additional information about Ibis can be found by selecting the Ibis link from Isis' homepage at www.isispharm.com.\nThis press release includes forward-looking statements regarding Isis Pharmaceuticals' business, the financial position and outlook for Isis as well as its Ibis Biosciences subsidiary and the commercial potential of Ibis' technologies and products in development. Any statement describing Isis' goals, expectations, financial or other projections, intentions or beliefs is a forward-looking statement and should be considered an at-risk statement, including those statements that are described as Isis' goals or projections. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, particularly those inherent in the process of discovering, developing and commercializing drugs that are safe and effective for use as human therapeutics, in developing and commercializing systems to identify infectious organisms that are effective and commercially attractive, and in the endeavor of building a business around such products. Isis' forward-looking statements also involve assumptions that, if they never materialize or prove correct, could cause its results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although Isis' forward-looking statements reflect the good faith judgment of its management, these statements are based only on facts and factors currently known by Isis. As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements.

So alongside the 27 Portas Pilots across the country, these Town Team Partners will also be able to revive their high streets and make them the beating hearts of their communities once again.\u201d\nQueen of Shops, Mary Portas, whose independent review led to the scheme said:\n\u201cI am thrilled that communities up and down the country have looked beyond the money and have been mobilised to create \u2018town teams\u2019 and demand more for their high streets. Whilst I shall continue to fight for the other 27 \u2018recommendations\u2019 in my Review am looking forward to seeing fifteen more British towns putting their plans into action.\u201d\nHowever, Ben Dyer, CEO of e-commerce provider SellerDeck, disagreed:\n\u201cWhile Mary Portas\u2019 intentions are great, I\u2019m afraid the scheme is utterly short sighted. The internet has transformed retail and thanks to ecommerce we have access to a digital high street larger than any single town could compete with.\n\u201cThe current high street is obsolete and throwing money at it isn\u2019t the answer. The future is multi-channel \u2013 we need to be encouraging retailers to connect the physical and digital retail worlds if they stand any chance of competing with the giants. This money could be better spent investing in technology, mentoring and training to help retailers get online.\u201d\nThe Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, selected the 3 London Pilots and they are being funded from the Greater London Authority.",

        "title": "Why I Changed How I Write And Think About Suicide | Center for Health Journalism- iso.in.ua",
        "raw_content": "Why I changed how I write and think about suicide\nI used the phrase \u201ccommit suicide\u201d for more than a decade when I wrote about the topic, as recently as 2015. But around that time, I started hearing from mental health advocates and professionals who asked that I instead use other phrasing, such as \u201cdied by suicide.\u201d That year, the Associated Press changed its Stylebook as well, encouraging reporters to avoid the word \u201ccommit\u201d when covering suicide.\nAt the time, the Columbia Journalism Review one of the Stylebook editors, David Minthorn, about the 2015 Stylebook.\n\u201cCommitted in that context suggests possibly an illegal act, but in fact laws against suicide have been repealed in the US, at least in certain states, and many other places,\u201d Minthorn told CJR, \u201cso we\u2019re going to avoid using that term on our own, although it\u2019s a term that authorities widely use and we will use it while quoting authorities.\u201d\nThree years later, many journalists and the public have yet to embrace the shift in language. Some reporters and editors use \u201ccommitted\u201d simply because they always have. And different publications have their own style, of course.\nAs recently as Sept. 12, The Washington Post ran the headline: \u201cHigh school football coach head-butted student, told another to commit suicide, report says.\u201d\nAfter the deaths in June of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, there was a wide variety in the way different news outlets phrased their suicides.\nThe day of Bourdain\u2019s death, the AP Stylebook tweeted out a reminder not to use the phrase as \u201cThe verb \u2018commit\u2019 with \u2018suicide\u2019 can imply a criminal act.\u201d (The AP also noted that suicide stories should not go into detail on methods used.) Alternatives recommended by the AP Stylebook in an earlier tweet, in May 2017, include \u201ckilled himself,\u201d \u201ctook her own life\u201d or \u201cdied by suicide\u201d.\nOne of the people who informed my own thinking on this is Ellyn Schmiesing, executive director of Focus, a nonprofit recovery center led by and dedicated to helping people with mental health, substance abuse or trauma issues in Findlay, Ohio, where I\u2019m a reporter. Her preference is \u201cdied by suicide.\u201d\nSchmiesing said the change is relatively new, and even many professionals still say \u201ccommitted,\u201d but that it\u2019s more sensitive to avoid that word. Like the AP, she noted that people \u201ccommit\u201d a crime, or a sin. She said several people who have lost loved ones have told her that changing the language helped immensely in their healing, creating less of a sense of guilt and shame, and making it easier to talk about their loss.\nMy own thinking changed when I learned from our county\u2019s 2015 Community Health Assessment that 4 percent of adults had considered attempting suicide in the past year. (The CDC reported similar national figures; in both cases, the figure for teens is higher.)\nFour percent. I started doing the math \u2013 that\u2019s one in 25 adults, and we all know 25 adults. That\u2019s thousands of people even in my relatively small community. Many of whom are now doing better. But society doesn\u2019t talk about their recovery either, as the topic as a whole is still so very taboo.\nThe fact that AP Style says I shouldn\u2019t say \u201ccommit\u201d is a good enough reason for outlets who follow the stylebook. But it\u2019s also made me more reflective and sensitive as as a writer. I stopped to think about word choice in this way in a recent story, about two local veterans who had died after struggles with PTSD. Before, I might\u2019ve used the phrase \u201ccommit suicide\u201d in writing about their deaths. Instead, I wrote:\n\u201cBen had talked about suicide when his father was driving him back to Chicago on Easter weekend 2016. Hovest asked about the drinking, and Ben replied that he had to drink: \u2018Otherwise I can't sleep. The demons\u2019 would just keep coming.\nHe was 34 when he died June 5, 2016.\nWithin a month, another veteran in Ottawa also took his own life, Hovest said.\u201d\nThe point isn\u2019t that the media should avoid talking about suicide. As the growing numbers suggest, society as a whole needs to grapple with this issue now more than ever. But as journalists, we can set an example for our communities by being more thoughtful in how we talk about it.\n\u0442\u0430\u0440\u0435\u043b\u043a\u0438 \u043a\u0443\u043f\u0438\u0442\u044c",

        "raw_content": "I liked Panic a lot. It has a lot of things going for it. It is an actual stand alone YA (yes, they do exist) and there is not love triangle and very minimal teen love angst. YAY! I loved the premise in Panic. A game played by recently graduated seniors in their summer before college. The winner gets a big pot of money. The challenges are usually things that will cause fear and panic in the player. I have to admit, I don't think I would last long in this game.\nI enjoyed all of the characters. Each person has their own reasons for participating. The game is definitely an eye opener for everyone involved and I saw a lot of growth in each of them. Particularly in Heather. She was the one I was secretly rooting for. There are a couple of twists which kept the story exciting. I definitely recommend this one!",

Rodman was taken off in 1804. It is an interior town, lying S.W. of the center of the co. Its surface is rolling, and generally inclined toward the lake, and, with the exception of its S.E. border, is underlaid by Trenton limestone. Several remarkable upheavals of this formation occur along its N. and W. borders, and a bold terrace extends into Watertown and Rutland. It is well watered by the N. Sandy and Stony Creeks. The soil is a clayey loam, with occasional sand and gravel, especially along the ancient lake ridge, which may be traced through this town. It is very productive, and equally adapted to dairying and the cultivation of grains. Manufactures are carried on to some extent. Adams, (p.v.,) situated on North Sandy Creek and the W.&R. R.R., contains 4 churches, a bank, a seminary, printing office, and several small manufactories. Pop. 1,268.2 Adams Center (p.v.,) and Smithville (p.v.,) have each about 250 inhabitants. Appling3 and North Adams (p.o.) are hamlets. The town was mostly settled under Isaac W. Bostwick, agent of Nicholas Low, the proprietor.4 The first sermon was preached in 1802, by Rev. Mr. Woodward, a missionary.5 A private academy--now called the Philharmonic Institute--has been taught at Adams Village for many years. The remains of several ancient fortifications are found in town.\n1 Aleppo, or No. 7 of the Eleven Towns.\n2 This village was first settled by David Smith, about 1800, and for many years it was known as \"Smiths Mills.\" Incorp. Nov. 11, 1851.\n3 Named for Maj. Daniel Appling, the hero of the battle of Sandy Creek.\n4 The first settlers came on for permanent residence in 1800; among them were Nicholas and Alexander Salisbury, Solomon Smith, Daniel Comstock, Daniel Smith, Abram Ripley, Jonathan Cable, Stephen Shippey, and Enon D'Estaing. The first inn was kept by Abel Hart, and the first store by Jesse Hale. Daniel Smith erected the first grist and saw mills in 1801-02, the former superseding the stump mortars of the first season. The first birth was that of Edmund Salisbury; the first marriage that of Daniel Ellis to Mrs. A. Salisbury, widow of Alexander Salisbury in 1802; and the first death, that of Alexander Salisbury, drowned in 1801. Schools were first taught in 1803.\n5 Rev. Chas. G. Finney, Pres. of Oberlin College, was a law student in this town. The census reports 9 churches; 3 Bap., 2 Seventh Day Bap., 2 Cong., M. E. and Prot. E.\nALEXANDRIA - was formed from Brownville and Le Ray, April 3, 1821, and named from Alexander Le Ray, a son of the proprietor. Theresa was taken off in 1841. It lies on the St. Lawrence, in the N. extremity of the co., and embraces the E. part of Wells Island and a considerable portion of the Thousand Islands. The surface underlaid by gneiss is rough and rocky, but that portion underlaid by sandstone is level, with a thin, clayey and sandy soil. A vein of lead has been discovered near Redwood, and examined to a depth of 40 feet. Alexandria Bay1 (Alexandria p.o.) contains 24 houses, Plessis2 (p.v.) 32 inhabitants and Redwood3 (p.v.) 429 inhabitants. Settlement commenced in 1811, under Le Ray. An engagement took place within the limits of this town during the war of 1812.4 An elegant Ref. Prot. D. church was erected at Alexandria Bay in 1848-51.5\n1 This place was surveyed and laid out as a village for Le Ray in 1818. A custom house was established here in 1828. Sunken Rock Lighthouse was built in 1847. It is an important wooding station for steamers, and within a few years has become a favorite resort for fishing and excursion parties among the Thousand Islands.\n2 Named from a town in France. Formerly called \"Flat Rock,\" from the naked sandstone in the vicinity. A grist mill was built here in 1817 for Le Ray. Wm. Merrill, the first innkeeper, was murdered in 1826.\n3 A glass factory was established at this place in 1833, by John S. Foster. It is devoted to the manufacture of cylinder glass, and is now carried on by a joint stock company known as the Redwood Manufac. Co. A stream a few rods in length, flowing from Mud to Butterfield Lake, has here a fall of 94 feet, and furnishes water power to a grist and saw mill.\n4 The \"Neptune\" and the \"Fox\", two small American armed vessels, captured a brigade of bateaux belonging to the enemy, July 20 1813, and took their prizes into Cranberry Creek in this town. They were pursued, and a sharp skirmish ensued, resulting in the retreat of the British with considerable loss.\n5 This church was built through the agency of Rev. G. W. Bethune, of Brooklyn, and is called \"The Church of the Thousand Isles.\" A parsonage was built in 1852. The sites for both edifices were given by Francis Depau. The census reports 6 churches; 2 Prot. E., Bap., M. E., Presb., and R. C.\nANTWERP - was formed from Le Ray, April 5, 1810, and named from the Antwerp Company.1 It is the extreme E. town in the co. The N. and E. portions are broken by low rocky ridges parallel to the river. The S.W. part is more level. The soil in the valleys is a clayey loam, and is very fertile.2 The ridges are made up of masses of gneiss,3 white crystalline limestone,4 and sandstone.5 Between the gneiss and sandstone in this town are several of the richest iron mines in the State. The Sterling Mine6 lies about 3 mi. N. of Antwerp Village; another, of less extent, 1 mi. N.; a third, known as the Keene Mine7, on the borders of St. Lawrence co.; and a fourth, known as the Parish Mine8, immediately adjacent. In the same range are found the mines of Rossie and Gouverneur, which have furnished most of the ore used at the furnaces in this region. Bog iron ore is found near Ox Bow.9 One or two sulphur springs are found in town. Antwerp, (p.v.,) on the P. and W. R.R., was incorp. July 1853. It contains the Antwerp Liberal Institute10 and 3 churches. Pop. 621. Ox Bow (p.v.)11 on the Oswegatchie River. Pop. 240. Sterlingburgh12, 1 mi. above Antwerp, and Spragues Corners, on the line of St. Lawrence co., are hamlets. The first improvements were made in 1803, at the Ox Bow, under the direction of Louis R. Morris, the original proprietor.13 In 1808, Morris sold 29,033 acres to George and Davis Parish, under whose agents the greater part of the settlements were made. A party of militia was stationed here in 1808, to enforce the embargo, and a blockhouse was built at the village in 1812. The first church was built, in 1816, by Parish.14\n1 This land company, formed in Holland, bought Great Tract No. IV., within which the town is situated. For particulars see Hough's Hist. Jeff. Co., p. 58-61.\n2 According to the last census, this town produces more butter than any other town in the co.; and, with one exception, it has the greatest number of cows of any town in the State.\n3 From 1805 to 1828 about 100 pairs of millstones were manufactured from this rock in this town.\n4 This limestone is especially valuable for lime, and as a flux for iron ore.\n5 This sandstone furnishes an excellent building material, and is used for the lining of furnaces.\n6 Discovered by Hopestill Foster; owned and worked by Jas. Sterling.\n7 On the farm of Hiram B. Keene, and owned by a company.\n8 Owned by Geo. Parish, of Ogdensburgh.\n9 This ore is of the red specular variety. The region in which it is found is one of the richest in the country for specimens of rare minerals.\n10 This institution is not yet fully organized.\n11 This name is derived from a remarkable bend in the Oswegatchie River, upon which the village is situated. The village was settled by Scotch immigrants.\n12 Sterlingburgh, 1 mi. above Antwerp Village, is the seat of an iron furnace built by Jas. Sterling in 1846. A forge was built here for David Parish in 1817.\n13 The first settler was Wm. Lee. Mills were built at Antwerp Village in 1806-07 for Morris, by John Jennison. The first school was taught in Foster Settlement by Benj. Cook.\n14 This church was the second in the co., and for many years was used by all the denominations in town. It is now in the possession of the R. C. There are in town 8 churches; 2 Bap., M.E., Wes. Meth., Presb., Asso. Ref. Presb., R. C., Union.\nBROWNVILLE - was formed from Leyden, April 1, 1802, and was named from Gen. Jacob Brown, its founder. Le Ray was taken off in 1806; Lyme, in 1818; Pamelia, in 1819; and Orleans, and a part of Alexandria, in 1821. It is situated on the N. side of Black River and Black River Bay. Its surface is level or gently undulating. The soil is a sandy and clayey loam. Sulphate of barytes is found on Pillar Point, and the vein has been worked to some extent for lithic paint. Upon the W. bank of Perch River, a few rods below Limerick, is a cave extending 150 yards into the bank and 30 feet below the surface. Manufactures receive considerable attention. Brownville, (p.v.,) on Black River, 4 mi. below Watertown, was incorp. April 5, 1828. It has a valuable water power, and contains 3 churches, a cotton factory, and several founderies and machine shops. Pop. 621. Dexter is situated at the head of navigation on the Black River.1 It is the seat of an extensive woolen factory built in 1836.2 Pop. 429.

Jacob Brown began the settlement of the town in 1799, as proprietor and agent.3 During the war Brownville village became the seat of a hospital; and on different occasions large bodies of troops were posted in the vicinity. For several years it was the residence and headquarters of Maj. Gen. Brown, commander in chief of the N. department, and afterward Col. Edward Kirby, his son-in-law.4 There are 10 churches in town.5 1 Named from S. Newton Dexter, of Whitesboro', one of the proprietors. It was formerly known as \"Fish Island.\" During the war the mills at this place furnished lumber for the public works at Sackets Harbor. The steamer \"Brownville,\" built in 1827, and designed to run between this place and the lake ports, was burned upon her first trip. The Black River Nav. Co., incorp. in 1810, built locks here, which were little used. Piers for the improvement of navigation were built at the mouth of the river by the Gen. Government, but they have resulted in injury.\n2 This factory is of stone, and cost $140,000. It is fitted for 10 sets of machinery, and employs 75 hands.\n3 In 1800, Gen. Brown built a sawmill, and in 1801 a small grist mill, at the mouth of Philomel Creek. A bridge was built in 1802, and a dam across the river in 1806. In 1828, Henry Evans was hung near Watertown for murder committed in this town,--the only execution by civil authority that ever took place in the co.\n4 Col. Kirby held the office of paymaster in the army from 1824 till his death, April 18, 1846.\n5 2 M. E., 2 Prot. E., 2 Univ., 2 Presb., 1 Bap., 1 Union.\nCAPE VINCENT - was formed from Lyme April 10, 1849, and named for Vincent Le Ray, son of the proprietor. It is the NW corner town of the co., and embraces Carlton, Grenadier, and Fox Islands in the St. Lawrence. The surface is level, or slightly undulating, and the soil is a clayey loam. Kent Creek is the principal stream. There are 2 or 3 sulphur springs in town. Considerable attention is paid to shipbuilding. Cape Vincent,1 (p.v.,) the terminus of the W. and R. R.R., near the head of the St. Lawrence River, is a thriving commercial village. Pop. 1026. St. Lawrence and Millens Bay are p. offices and hamlets. The first settlement in the town and co. was made upon Carlton Island2 about the time of the Revolution. A regular fortification, known as \"Fort Carlton,\"3 was erected upon the island and a tract of 30 acres was cleared and cultivated, and long known as the \"Kings Garden.\" The first settlement upon the mainland was commenced in 1801 at Port Putnam, 2 mi. below Cape Vincent, by Capt. Abijah Putnam.4 Count Real, Chief of Police under Napoleon, and other French families of note, resided in this town for some time. A custom house was established in 1819. Upon the shores of Grenadier Island, 5 and of the mainland opposite, are valuable seine fisheries. A town ag. soc. was formed in 1850.6 There are 3 churches in town.7\n1 Called \"Gravelly Point\" by many of the old inhabitants. It was first settled in 1809, laid out as a village in 1817, and incorp. in 1853. A lighthouse was built at Tibbits Point, 2 mi. distant, in 1826. The R. R. company have built a wharf 3000 feet long, 2 immense freight houses, a grain elevator, & c. The Ontario Line of Steamers touch at this point, and ferry boats run regularly to Kingston. A few years since, a canal was dug across Wolf or Grand Island, to afford a more direct route for this ferry. This place received several visits from the enemy during the war.\n2 This island contains 1274 acres. A military class right of 500 acres was located here in 1786. For several years after 1822 it was a thriving lumber station, where rafts were made up for the Quebec market.\n3 This fort commanded the s. channel of the river and was an important post during the Revolution. It was mostly excavated in the rock, and the materials taken out were used in the construction of the rampart and escarpment.\n4 Mr. Putnam established a ferry from this place to Wolfe Island. In 1803, a State road was opened to this place, and in 1804 a village plot was laid out, but soon after abandoned.\n5 This island was the rendezvous of Gen. Wilkinson's army on their way down the river in 1813. At the eastern extremity is a capacious bay, known as \"Basin Harbor,\" which affords a shelter for boats. The whole island is now a single dairy farm.\n6 This society is open to the citizens of Lyme, Clayton, and Wolfe Island.\n7 Presb., Prot. E., and R. C.\nCHAMPION1 - was formed from Mexico, March 14, 1800. A part of Harrisburgh was taken off in 1803. It is the central town on the S.E. border of the co. The surface is broken and hilly. The most elevated portions are the slate hills in the s. angle, (known as the 'peak,') which are about 1700 feet above tide. From their summits the land descends in a series of broken and irregular terraces to the river. The n. part is more level. The soil is generally a clay loam, but near the river in some places it is sandy. Champion (p. v.) contains 20 houses, Great Bend (p. v.) and West Carthage2 about 30 each. Champion South Roads is a p.o. The first settlement was begun in 1798, by Noadiah Hubbard, as agent for Storrs. The first settlers came by water down the river as far as the Long Falls, and the town was settled with great rapidity.3 The first church (Cong.) was formed in 1805.4\n1 No. 4, or \"Howard,\" of the \"eleven Towns.\" It fell to the share of Harrison and Hoffman, and by them was sold to Gen. Henry Champion, of Colchester, Conn., and Lemuel Storrs. It was settled under Judge Noadiah Hubbard and Alfred Lathrop, agents of the last named proprietor. The name was given in honor of Gen. Champion, who presented the town with a bell for the compliment.\n2 Considerable amounts of lumber, oil, flour, and cloth are manufactured in this village.\n3 Among the first settlers, who came in 1798 ! 99, were John, Thos. And Salmon Ward, David and Saml. Starr, Joel Mix, Ephm. Chamberlain, Jonathan Mitchell, Bela Hubbard, and David Miller. The first school was taught by E. Chamberlain, in 1800. The first sawmill was built in 1802, by John Eggleson and Wm. Hadsall. The first grist mill was built at West Carthage, by David Coffeen, in 1806. A furnace was built at the same place in 1834, and about 1000 tons of iron produced. Several prominent lawyers, among who were Moss Kent, brother of the chancellor, Egbert Ten Eyck, and Henry R. Storrs, settled in Champion, in expectation of its becoming the co. seat of the new co. to be erected in Oneida.\n4 Rev. Nathl. Dutton was the first regular settled pastor in the town and co. There are 6 churches in town; 2 Cong., 2 M.E., Bap., and Union.\nCLAYTON was formed from Orleans and Lyme, April 27, 1833, and named in honor of John M. Clayton, U.S. Senator from Del. It is centrally situated on the N.W. border of the co. It embraces two-fifths of Penets Square, a gore W. and another N. of that tract, and Grindstone and several smaller islands in the St. Lawrence. The surface is level, or slightly rolling. Water lime has been manufactured in considerable quantities. Clayton,1 (p.v.,) situated at the mouth of French Creek,2 is largely engaged in the lumber trade and in ship building.3 Pop. 896. Depauville4 (p.v.) is situated at the head of navigation on Chaumont (Sha-mo) River, (or Catfish Creek) 6 mi. from the bay. Pop. 386. Clayton Center is a p.o. Settlement commenced in 1803, but progressed slowly until after the war. For many years the titles to the portions included in Penets square and the islands became the subject of much controversy and litigation. In early times the shores of St. Lawrence in this and adjoining towns became the scene of many lawless adventures in the prosecution of smuggling.5 In 1813, the enemy attacked the advanced guard of Wilkinson's expedition, commanded by Gen. Brown, at Bartlets Point, but were repulsed. The census reports 7 churches in town.6\n1 Formerly called \"Cornelia,\" and still frequently called \"French Creek.\" A party of Patriots made this place their rendezvous in preparing to invade Canada. The same party took possession of Hickory Island; but upon the approach of the British they fled, leaving their armament behind.\n2 This stream is called by the Indians Wet-er-ingh-ra-gu-en-te-re, or \"Fallen Fort,\" from a fort taken by the Oneidas from another tribe long before the advent of the whites.\n3 The timber is brought in vessels from the upper lakes, and here made up into rafts. Most of the steamers belonging to the American Line have been built at this port and at Wolf Island.\n4 De-po-ville. Named from Francis Depau, an early proprietor. The place was formerly known as \"Catfish Falls.\" Stephen Johnson built the first mill and opened the first store at this place in 1824.\n5 During the embargo of 1808 a road was cut through the woods, and immense quantities of potash were taken to Canada without restraint.\n6 4 M. E., and one each Bap., R.C., and Union.\nELLISBURGH1 - was formed from Mexico, Feb. 22, 1803. Henderson was set off in 1806. It is situated in the S.W. corner of the co., upon the shore of Lake Ontario. The surface is rolling and inclined toward the lake. A range of low sand hills extend along the shore, and these are succeeded by a wide marshy region, producing wild grasses that in dry seasons may be mown. North and south Sandy Creeks are the principal streams. The soil is sandy on the W., clayey through the center, and a slaty loam in the E. There is a sulphur spring in town. This is the wealthiest agricultural town in the co. and is surpassed by but few in the state. Ellis Village,2 (Ellisburgh p.o.,) situated on S. Sandy Creek, 4 mi. from it.s mouth, has a limited amount of manufactures. Pop. 230. Belleville,3 (p.v.,) is situated on N. Sandy Creek, 3 mi. from Ellis Village, and on the S.H.&E. R. R. Pop. 363. The Union Literary Society (academy) is located here. Pierrepont Manor,4 (p.v.,) at the junction of the W.&R. and S. H.&E. R. R., contains 255 inhabitants. Woodville,5 (p.v.,) is situated on N. Sandy Creek Pop. 180. Mannsville,6 (p.v.,) on Skinners Creek and the W. & R. R. R., has a population of 315. Rural Hill7 (p.o.) and Wardwell (p.o.) are hamlets. Lyman Ellis and a large number of others made the first settlement, in 1797.8 A tract of 3000 acres in the S.W. corner of the town was sold by Wm. Constable, in 1796, to Brown and Eddy, and was settled by squatters. Upon the advent of the first settlers, near Ellis Village, on Sandy Creek, were found numerous traces of an early occupation by civilized races.9 During the war an engagement took place near the mouth of S. Sandy Creek, between a party of 150 American regulars and a few militia and Indians, under Maj. Appling, and a party of 200 British, who were pursuing a flotilla of boats, commanded by Lieut. Woolsey, laden with stores for Sackets Harbor. The British were defeated, and nearly the whole party were killed or taken prisoners.10 The census reports 11 churches in town.11\n1 Named from Marvel Ellis, an early proprietor, and Lyman Ellis, the first settler.\n2 The oldest settlement in the co.\n3 Named from Belleville, in Canada.\n4 It is the residence of Hon. Wm. C. Pierrepont, from whom the village derives its name.\n5 Named from Ebenezer, Ephraim, and Jacob Wood, the first settlers.\n6 Named from Col. H. B. Mann, who erected a factory at this place, but which was afterward burned.\n7 Formerly called \"Buck Hill\". 8 Among the first settlers were Caleb Ellis, Robert Fulton, Elijah Richardson, Hez. Pierce, Chauncey Smith, Wm. Root, Vial Salisbury, Isaac Waddle, and Abram Wilcox. The early settlers suffered much from sickness. The first child born was Ontario Pierce, and the first death that of Caleb Ellis. Lyman Ellis built the first sawmill in 1797 and the first grist mill in 1803.\n9 It is probable that the French Expedition, under De La Barre, against the Onondagas in 1684, met with their terrible disasters from famine and sickness within the limits of this town.\n10 The stores were taken by land from this point to the \"Harbor.\" Among them was a cable weighing 9600 lbs., which was too heavy for loading upon any wagon that could be obtained. It was accordingly placed on the shoulders of 250 men and carried to its place of destination. As the bearers approached the harbor, the sailors met them with loud cheers, relieved them of their burden, and marched triumphantly into the village.\n11 3 Bap., 2 Cong., 2 M.E., Presb., Prot. E., Univ., Union.\nHENDERSON1 - was formed from Ellisburgh, Feb. 17, 1806. It lies on Lake Ontario, S.W. of the center of the co. The surface is rolling; and it is deeply indented by Henderson bay, formed by a long rocky point known as Six-Town point.2 There are in town two small lakes and several marshes. Stony and Little Stony creeks are the principal streams. The soil is clay and loam. Henderson3 (p.v.) is situated near the center, on Stony Creek. Pop. 401. Henderson Harbor4 contains 12 houses; and Smithville5 (p.o.) 40. Roberts Corners (p.o.) is a hamlet. Settlement was begun in 1802, under Asher Miller, agent for the proprietor.6 At the head of Henderson bay is a curved embankment or bar of stone, 100 rods long, and a little above the water, known as \"Indian Wharf;\" and from this point to Stony Creek there was an Indian trail or portage. The census reports 5 churches in town.7\n1 No. 6 of the \"Eleven Towns.\" Named from Wm. Henderson, the proprietor. It embraces the adjacent islands on the lake.\n2 Upon this point are the remains of a small 4 sided fortification, evidently built during the French or Revolutionary war.\n3 Formerly called \"Salisbury Mills\" from Lodowyck Salisbury, an early merchant and mill owner.\n4 The bay upon which this place is situated was called the \"Bay of Naples\" by Henderson, the proprietor.\n5 Named from Jesse Smith, who, from a common laborer, became one of the most extensive lumber dealers in the county, and a man of influence. It is on the line of Adams.\n6 Among the first settlers were Anthony Sprague, Levi Scofield, Jedediah McComber, Samuel Hubbard, Moses Barret, Wm. Petty, and Daniel Spencer. Willis Fellows kept the first inn and built the first saw mill and grist mill. The first child born was Betsy Scofield, and the first death, that of a child of Hosea Heath. Elisha Skinner taught the first school. A small woolen factory was erected in 1814. A Scotch settlement was made in 1803-07, on the bay. A lighthouse was erected on Stony Point in 1837.\n7 2 M.E.., E. Luth., Univ., and Union.\nHOUNSFIELD1-was formed from Watertown, Feb. 17, 1806. It is situated on Black River Bay, on the W. border of the co. Its surface is very level, and the soil is a clayey and sandy loam. Ship building and manufacturers have received considerable attention. Sackets Harbor2 (p.v.) is the principal village. Pop. 994. This was the principal military and navel station on the northern frontier during the last war with Great Britain, and millions of dollars were spent in fortifications and in building vessels. East Hounsfield (p.v.) and Stowells Corners (p.o.) are hamlets. Amasa Fox was the first settler. In 1802 there were 30 families in town.3 In 1805 several English families came in.4 During the war this town was the center of important military events. Several expeditions were here fitted out against Canada; and, in turn, the town was invaded on several occasions.5 Large bodies of troops were frequently quartered here, and the citizens became familiar with the lights and shades of military life.6 After the war most of the troops were withdrawn, leaving only enough to keep the works in repair. In 1832 a canal, for hydraulic purposes, was completed from Huntington's Mills, above Watertown, to Sackets Harbor; but in almost ten years it was abandoned.7 Dr. Samuel Guthrie, one of the discoverers of chloroform, and inventor of the percussion compound for firearms, which has superseded flints, resided at Sackets Harbor. A Union school was established in the village in 1840. There are 5 churches in town.8\n1 The town embraces No. 1, or \"Hesiod,\" of the \"Eleven Towns,\" and was named for Ezra Hounsfield, one of the early proprietors. In the division it fell to the share of Harrison and Hoffman; and by them the W. half was sold to Champion and Storrs, and the remainder to Peter Kemble and E. Hounsfield. It was called \"Newport\" in early documents. Gull, Snake, Great and Little Galloo, and Stony Islands belong to this town. Upon Galloo Island a lighthouse was erected in 1820.\n2 Named from Augustus Sacket, the first settler. Called by the Indians Ga-hu.-a-go-je-twa-da-a.-lote, fort at the mouth of Great River. Incorp. April 15, 1814. A collection district was formed in 1805. Madison Barracks, built in 1816-19 at a cost of 85,000, are the principal military works. Upon the point in the harbor is the hull of the frigate New Orleans, sheltered by a house built over it. It was commenced during the war, but has never been finished. It measured 32 tons, and was pierced for 110 guns. The frigate Chippewa, of like dimensions, built farther up the bay, has been taken down.\n3 Among these were Wm. and John Evans, Squire Reed, Amasa Hollibut, and Charles Baird.\n4 Among these were Saml. Luff, his sons Edmund, Saml., Jr., Joseph, and Jesse, David Merritt, William Ashby, John Roots, Henry Metcalf, and Geo. Slowman. Dr. Wm. Baker, who settled in 1803, was the first physician; Ambrose Pease and Step. Simmons were early innkeepers, and Loren Buss and Hezekiah Doolittle, early merchants. In 1808 Samuel F. Hooker brought in a stock of goods worth $20,000. Meetings were first held by Edmund Luff, who built a church, and preached many years without fee or reward. Elisha Camp settled in 1804, as a lawyer and agent, and has since been more prominently concerned in the affairs of the town than any other person. Samuel Luff buil the first grist mill, Augustus Sacket, the first sawmill, and Solon Stone, the first cotton factory, on Mill Creek. The first child born in town was Wealthy Rowlison. At an early period, John Jacob Astor and other capitalists invested large sums here in the manufacture of potash, that article commanding $200 to $350 per ton in the Montreal market.\n5 See endnotes.\n6 About a dozen military executions took place here during the war. A duel was fought with muskets, June 13, 1818, between two soldiers, one of whom was killed. During the command of Col. Brady at this station, the remains of Gens. Zebulon M. Pike and Leonard Covington, col. John Tuttle, Lieut. Cols. Electus Backus, timothy Dix, Jr., and John Mills, Maj. John Johnson, and Lieut. Michael P. Vanderventer, officers who had been killed or had died of sickness during the war, were collected, and buried in one grave. A monument of painted pine boards was erected to their memory by a grateful country; but it soon rotted down, and there is a strong probability that the place of their interment will be forgotten.\n7 This canal was 20 feet wide at the top, 12 at the bottom, and 4 feet deep.\n8 M.E., Prot. E., Presb., Christian, and Seventh Day Bap.\nLE RAY1-was formed from Brownville, Feb. 17, 1806. Antwerp was taken off in 1810, a part of Wilna in 1813, and a part of Philadelphia and Alexandria in 1821. It is an interior town E. of the center of the co. The surface is level, or gently rolling, and the soil is principally a clayey loam. A strip of barren sand, once covered with pine, but now almost a desert, extends along the Black River. The streams are Black and Indian Rivers, Pleasant Creek, and several small brooks. Le Raysville2 (p.v.) contains 22 houses. Evans Mills3 (p.v.) is situated on Pleasant Creek and the P.&W.R.R. Pop. 410. Sandfords Corners, (p.v.,) on the P. & W.R.R., contains a dozen houses. Black River,4 a village of 50 houses, is partly in this town. The first settlement was made in 1802, by a party under Benj. Brown, agent for Le Ray.5 Le Ray removed to this place in 1808, and begun a liberal system of settlement, by opening roads and building bridges and mills. The census reports 6 churches.6\n1 Named for James Le Ray de Chaumont, the proprietor.\n2 The land office for much of the land in the co. N. and E. of the river was located here until 1835, when it was removed to Carthage. P.S. Stewart has been the agent many years.\n3 Named from Ethni Evans, who built the first mill in 1805- 06.\n4 This village is locally known as \"Lockport.\" A trace of an ancient Indian fort was found near it; another 1 mi.

Margaret Comstock taught the first school.\n6 Bap., Friends, M.E., Presb., R.C., and Union.\nLORRAINE1- was formed from Mexico, March 24, 1804, as \"Malta.\" Its name was changed April 6, 1808. Worth was taken off in 1848. It is the central town on the S. border of the co. The town is elevated, and is underlaid by slate and traversed by immense gulfs. The surface is rolling, and the soil is a clay and loam. It is mostly drained by Sandy and Skinners Creeks. Lorraine, (p.v.,) the only village, contains about 30 houses. Settlement was begun in 1802, by James McKee and Elijah Fox.2 The state road from Rome to Sackets Harbor was laid through this town in 1804. A sulphur spring is found on the farm of ----Totman. The town has 2 churches, Bap. And M.E.\n1 This town embraces \"Attiens\" or No. 1, of the Boylston tract.\n2 In the following year, Comfort Stancliff, Benjamin Gates, Seth Cutler, John Alger, and others, came in.

It lies upon Chaumont Bay, in the W. part of the co. The surface is very level. The W. border is deeply indented by Chaumont Bay2 and its branches. The soil is principally clay. There are several sulphur springs in town. Near Chaumont are extensive and valuable limestone quarries.3 Chaumont (p.v.) is situated on the bay at the mouth of Chaumont River. Pop. 306. Three Mile Bay4 (p.v.) lies upon a bay of the same name. Pop. 295. Point Peninsula (p.o.) is a scattered settlement containing 25 houses. The first settlement was begun under Jonas Smith and Henry A. Delamater, agents for Le Ray, in 1801.5 The first location was 2 \ufffd miles above Chaumont; but in 1805 the settlers removed to the site of the present village. During several years much sickness prevailed; but this gradually disappeared as the co. became more settled. In 1812 the inhabitants, numbering about a dozen families, built a blockhouse, which was taken and destroyed by the enemy. The first church (Bap.) was organized in 1816.6\n1 Name selected by Eben. Kelsey, a native of Lyme, Conn.\n2 Name derived from Le Ray Chaumont. Upon old maps this bay is named \"Niahoure,\" \" Niaoure,\" and \"Nivernois.\" The name is probably derived from that of the Duc de Nivernois, a French nobleman.\n3 The limestone quarries of this place have furnished large quantities of stone for the piers at Oswego, locks on the canal, and for other public works.\n4 Name given for its being 3 miles W. of Chaumont. This bay is celebrated for its fisheries. In 1856, $90,000 worth of fish were taken, consisting principally of \"ciscoes\" (lake herring) and whitefish. It has been the seat of considerable ship building.\n5 Among the first settlers were Richard M. Esselstyn, T. Wheeler, Peter Pratt, and Jonas David and Timothy Soper. James Horton was the first settler on Point Salubtious, in 1806.\n6 The census reports 6 churches; 2 M.E., 2 Bap., Presb., and Free W. Bap.\nORLEANS was formed from Brownville, April 3, 1821.

Orleans 4 Corners, (p.o.,) Port Orleans, and Collins Landing are hamlets. Penets Square, which embraced most of this town, was settled by squatters.4 The first settlements commenced about 1806.5 In 1824, John La Farge, a large owner in these lands, came into town to assert his claim. After a great deal of difficulty and some resistance, he succeeded in establishing his title. In 1838 the mansion and farm of La Farge, 1 mi. S. of the village, were purchased by Bishop Dubois as the site for a Catholic Seminary. This institution, named \"St. Vincent de Paul,\" combining a theological seminary and classical boarding school, was soon after open; but in two or three years it was removed to Fordham, Westchester co., and was afterward incorp. As St. John's College. Rock Island Lighthouse was built in 1853. The British steamer Sir Robert Peel was plundered and burned on the night of May 29, 1838, while taking in wood at Wells Island, in this town, by a party of 22 self-styled patriots, led by Bill Johnston.6 The census reports 8 churches.7\n1 Named from John La Farge, the proprietor; formerly known as \"Log Mills.\"\n2 Named from a character in one of Johnson's allegories, found in the English Reader: formerly called \"Mudges Mills.\"\n3 Formerly called \"Collins Mills,\" from John B. Collins, owner.\n4 The improvident waste of timber and the slovenly clearings made by this lawless set promised little in the way of civilization: and their appearance, as they emerged from the swamps with an ox harnessed to a crotched piece of wood, laden with a trough full of black salts. or, as they returned in like manner, with a sack of meal and a jug of whiskey, was little calculated to inspire hope of speedy improvement. They had a kind of law among themselves in relation to land, and were accustomed to run \"possession lines\" by lopping down bushes. \"Claims\" were often sold and secured by quit claim deeds.\n5 Among the first settlers were Roderic C Frazier, Peter Pratt, Dr. Reuben Andrus, Samuel and Daniel Ellis, and others. Alvah Goodman kept the first inn; Lemuel George, the first store; Collins & Pratt erected the first grist mill, and Dr. Andrus, the first sawmill, in 1819.\n6 After driving the passengers ashore and plundering the boat, the brigands cast her off from the shore and set her on fire. Large rewards were offered for their apprehension, and several persons were arrested, but none convicted. In 1852, Johnston was appointed keeper of the Rock Island Light, which shines on the spot where the Peel was burned.\n7 Two Evang. Luth., Bap., Cong., M.E., R.C., Wes. Meth., and Union.\nPAMELIA1 - was formed from Brownville, April 12, 1819. In 1824 its name was changed to 'Leander;' but soon after the former name was restored. A portion of Orleans was annexed April 1, 1824. It is the central town of the co. The surface is level, or gently undulating, and the soil is clay and sand. Near the cascade opposite Watertown are several caves in the limestone rock.2 In the vicinity of Perch Lake have been found several barrows, or sepulchral mounds. Pamelia Village and Juhelville3 - the former opposite the lower part and the later the upper part of Watertown Village- are places of considerable manufacturers,4 and have each 200 to 300 inhabitants. Pamelia Four corners (p.v.,) contains about 30 houses. The first settlement began in 1799.5 The census reports 2 churches.6\n1 Named from the wife of Gen. Jacob Brown. Her maiden name was Pamelia Williams.\n2 These caverns have been traced nearly 500 feet. Just below and partly under the village of Juhelville, the open mouths of several caves appear on the river bank, opening at both ends on the cliff. The passages are lined with calcareous deposits, in the form of agaric mineral, stalactites, and tufa. These caves are evidenly all formed by currents of water flowing through the natural seams in the rock and gradually wearing away the soluble and yielding limestone. In the rear of the principal cavern a large area has sunk to a considerable depth, as though a portion had fallen in.\n3 Named from Madame Juhel, a relative of the Le Ray family.\n4 These manufacturers consist of lumber, spirits, leather, cotton yarn, and portable steam engines.\n5 The first settlers were Wm. Cooper and Wm. Watkins. Anson Sigourney taught the first school; Samuel Mack kept the first inn, Jabez Foster, the first store; and Tuttle and Bailey built the first mill.\n6 M.E. and Union.\nPHILADELPHIA was formed from Le Ray, April 3, 1821. It is an interior town, E. of the center of the co. Its surface is level in the E., but rocky and broken in the W. The soil is generally a clayey loam. Indian River and Black Creek are the principal streams. Iron ore is found in considerable quantities. The principal bed that is worked is known as the Shurtliff mine. In Sterlingville is a large chalybeate spring. Philadelphia,1 (p.v.,) upon Indian River, has 55 houses, and Sterlingville,2 (p.v.,) upon Black Creek, 40. At the latter place are a large blast furnace3 and a forge.4 The first settlement was commenced in 1804, by Friends from Penn. and N.J.5 In 1810 the Friends erected a building which for 17 years was used as a school and meeting house.6\n1 Often called \"Quaker Settlement\" by the old inhabitants.\n2 Named from James Sterling, the owner of the iron works. Formerly called \"De Launey's Mill,\" from the builder of the first mill, in 1807.\n3 Built in 1837, by James Sterling. The ore is principally obtained from the Sterling mine of Antwerp, and the Shurtliff mine of this town, near the line of Theresa, the ore from the latter being used principally as a flux.\n4 Built by Caleb Essington, in 1839.\n5 These settlers purchased 16 lots of 440 acres each, lying in the corners of a square containing 25 lots, of which the central range each way was reserved by Le Ray. The center lot, (No. 611) embracing the site of the present village, was conveyed to trustees \"for the promotion of religion and learning\" under the care of the Quakers. This trust afterward occasioned much contention, and led to a miniature anti-rent war. The matter was finally settled in 1844. Cadwallader Child, Mordecai Taylor, and Samuel Evans came in the first year. Robert Comfort kept the first inn, Saml. Case, the first store, and Thos. And John Townsend built the first mill. Anna Comstock kept the first school. The first child born was John Townsend, and the first death that of a daughter of Robt. Comfort in 1807.\n6 The census reports 5 churches; 2 M.E., Bap., Friends, Univ.\nRODMAN1 - was formed from Adams, March 24, 1804, under the name of \"Harrison.\" Its name was changed April 6, 1808. A part of Pinckney (Lewis co.) was taken off in 1808. It lies upon the borders of Lewis, in the S. part of the co. The surface is hilly, and broken by the deep ravines of Sandy Creek and its branches. The soil is generally a fertile, gravelly loam. There are 3 sulphur springs in town. Rodman (p.v.) has 45 houses, Zoar and Whitesville2 (E. Rodman p.o.) each about 20. Settlement began in 1801, and from 1803 to 1806 it progressed with great rapidity.3 In 1813 an epidemic prevailed, causing 60 deaths in 3 months. The census reports 3 churches.4\n1 It embraces No. 8, or \"Orpheus,\" of the \"Eleven Towns.\" Its former name was from Richard Harrison, of N.Y., a proprietor; and its present one, from Daniel Rodman, of Hudson, Clerk of the assembly in 1808-09.\n2 Named from Thos. White, sub-agent and early settler.\n3 Among the settlers who came in this year were Anson and Ebenezer Moody, Noah, Jonathan, and Aaron Davis, Benj. Thomas, Wm. Rice, and Simeon Hunt. Miss M. Nobles taught the first school, in Anson Moody's barn in 1803. Willard Sykes kept the first store; and Wm. Rice built the first sawmill, in 1804, and gristmill in 1806. The first child born was Walter Harrison Moody; and the first death, that of the same child, 3 years after. His father received 50 acres of land from Mr. Harrison for the name. Timothy Greenly moved into the S.W. corner of the town in 1803.\n4 2 M.E., Cong.\nRUTLAND - was formed from Watertown, April 1, 1802. It lies upon the S. bank of Black River, E. of the center of the co. Its surface consists of the narrow river valley on the N., a terraced plateau in the center, and a hilly region in the S. The central plateau, embracing the greater part of the town, is 300 to 400 feet above the flat country farther N., and it descends by a succession of steep declivities to the level of the river. It is underlaid by Trenton limestone. Upon the S. the surface gradually rises to the summits of the slate hills which occupy the S. part of the co. A remarkable valley, known as 'Rutland Hollow,' extends through the town upon the lower terrace of the plateau, parallel to the river. It is deeply excavated in the limestone, and appears like the bed of an ancient river. Another valley, smaller and deeper, extends in the same direction across the summit of the plateau, and forms the bed of a deep, narrow lake. Pleasant Lake, in Champion, is situated in the continuation of the latter valley. These valleys and terraces seem the result of abrasion rather than of upheaval. Upon the edge of the terrace, 100 feet below the summit, may be seen the ancient lake ridge before described. There are 2 or 3 sulphur springs in town. The soil is very fertile loam upon the plateau, and a sandy loam upon the river. Felts Mills,_ (p.v.,) on Black River, contains 50 houses; Black River,_ (p.v.,) on the river, partly in this town and partly in Le Ray, 40; Tylerville,_ (South Rutland p.o.,) in the narrow valley of Sandy Creek, 30; and Rutland Center,_ (Rutland p.o.,) 10.

It is the central town upon the N.W. border of the co. The surface along Indian River is broken, and traversed by ridges of gneiss rock, with fertile intervales. A part of the town, underlaid by sandstone, is level or undulating. In the primary regions are a number of romantic lakes; and some of these have highly interesting mineral localities upon their shores and islands.1 Theresa, (p.v.,) upon the High Falls2 of the Indian River, was early selected by Le Ray as a favorable point for settlement, and about 1810 he caused several 'jobs' to be cleared and a sawmill to be built.3 West Theresa is a p.o. A furnace, built near Millseat Lake in 1847, was in part supplied with ores from the vicinity. A private academy has been taught several years.

Iron ore has been found in considerable quantity.\n2 The river here descends 85 feet within a quarter of a mile. From this place to Rossie its banks are low, and large tracts are often overflowed, causing much sickness. A small steamer has run upon this part of the river.\n3 Among the first settlers were James Shurtliff, Anson and Jeremiah Cheeseman, M.B. Ashley, Sylvester Bodman, Azariah Walton, Col. S. Ball, Abram Morrow, Joseph Miller, Archibald Fisher, Jas. Lake, Ebenezer and N.W. Lull, and J.D. Davison. Mr. Lull built the first store, in 1820. Dr. Jas.

It lies upon Black River, S.W. of the center of the co. The surface in the S.E. part is broken by the irregular terraces of the Trenton limestone, and in the N. it is level or rolling. The river bank is rocky throughout its whole extent; and in the village, about 3 mi. below, are several extensive caves. It is an important agricultural town; but it is chiefly distinguished for the extent of its trade and manufactures. In amount of business it is unsurpassed by any town in Northern N.Y. Watertown,2 (p.v.,) the co. seat, pleasantly situated upon the S. bank of Black River, was incorp. April 5, 1816. Pop. 5873. It contains an academy,3 4 newspaper offices, 5 banks, and 9 churches. Black river here flows, for the space of a mile, in a succession of rapids over the limestone terraces, affording an abundance of water power, which is largely improved, making the village one of the most important manufacturing places in the state.4 Three roads and 2 R.R. bridges cross the river within the limits of the village: one of the former is a wire suspension bridge. An ice cave, near Whittlesays Point,5 extends under a part of the village. By an act passed March 22, 1853, a board of water commissioners was created, with power to borrow $50,000 for the construction of water works for the village. The work was finished during the following summer. The water is taken from the river, near the upper part of the village, and thrown by water power into a reservoir 200 feet above the village, and about 1 mi. distant; and from the reservoir it is distributed though the streets. A beautiful fountain is constructed in the center of the principal square.6 At an early day, two rectangular pieces of land were given by the owners of the adjacent lots for public use;7 and these now constitute beautiful public squares.8 Burrs Mills9 (p.o.) is a hamlet, on Cold Creek, in the E. part of the town. Watertown Center and Fields Settlement are hamlets. Henry Coffeen and Zachariah Butterfield were the pioneer settlers, in 1800. They located upon the present site of the village.10 An arsenal was built at Watertown in 1809, and a building for an academy in 1811; the latter was used as a hospital during the war. The census reports 10 churches.11\n1 Its present limits embrace No. 2, or \"Leghorn,\" of the \"Eleven Towns.\" It first contained Nos. 1, 2, and 3.\n2 First settled in 1800; and became the co. seat in 1805. In 1849 the business portion was almost destroyed by fire, but it recovered from the disaster in 2 years.\n3 The Watertown Academy was incorp. May 2, 1835, and a large academic building was erected in a grove in the S.E. part of the village. It was soon after merged in the Black River Literary and Religious Institute, founded under the joint auspices of the Watertown Presbytery and B.R. (Cong.) Assoc. in 1836. In May, 1846, its name was changed to the Jefferson County Institute.\n4 During the war a factory was built, at a cost of $75,000, for the manufacture of cotton and woolen cloths. In 1827, Levi Beebe purchased Cowans Island and erected upon it an immense stone cotton factory. It had just been put in operation when, July 7, 1833, it was burned, under suspicious circumstances. The loss was $200,000; and the site has since remained a ruin. The manufactures of cotton and woolen goods, flour, paper, iron castings, machinery, leather, agricultural implements, lead pipe, sash and blinds, and furniture, are extensively carried on.\n5 Named from the wife of Samuel Whittlesey, who in 1815, threw herself from this point into the river, and was drowned. Her husband, a lawyer, and paymaster to the drafted militia, had received in N.Y. the sum of $30,000, in bills, and while returning to Watertown, was secretly robbed of $8700 by his wife. He was greatly alarmed, but was persuaded by her to keep quiet, as it would be difficult to convince the public that a thief would have left so large a portion, and, as they must themselves by suspected of having taken a part, they might as well keep the whole. Her logic succeeded upon the weak-minded old man, and before reaching home she had matured plans for concealment and evasion. He started with his portmanteau for Oneida co., leaving appointments along the road for paying for paying on his return: but on arriving at Trenton he found he had been robbed. The news of the robbery spread quickly over the country; but the most active inquiry and very liberal rewards failed to bring the thief to justice. On his return home he met his family frantic with grief; but there was an inconsistency in his story, and upon a searching conversation, held separately, with his two bondsmen, Perley Keyes and Jason Fairbanks, the latter were convinced that there was fraud. By an ingenious coarse of inquiry and cavesdropping, they were not only confirmed in belief, but assured that the family soon intended to remove, and that summary means must be employed to recover the money. They accordingly invited W. to take a walk, which led as if by accident to a lonely spot near the village, previously prepared, where they suddenly charged him with the robbery and threatened instant drowning unless he disclosed. He was twice submerged and life nearly extinguished, when he confessed and was liberated. The money was found sewed into a pair of drawers fitted to be worn by either husband or wife. Mrs. W. immediately after slipped away from the crowd unobserved, rushed down to the river, and was drowned.--Hough's Hist. Jeff. Co., p. 263.\n6 An Artesian well was bored 127 feet deep upon Factory Square in 1829, and a copious supply of water was obtained, slightly impregnated with sulphur and iron.\n7 These lots are respectively 12 by 28 and 9 by 32 rods.\n8 The principal business of the village is located around the Square and upon Court St.\n9 Named from John Burr&Sons, who settled here in 1804.

It places us in humble circumstances at times.\nWe feel powerless to change things and we long to control our lives again.\nIt is actually a good place to be although it does not feel so. Our discomfort awakens us from the routines that we had established in life. It also reminds us of God's authority.\nThe choice is whether we will lash out at circumstances and resent God, or draw closer to God.\nIn suffering our need for God is greater than ever. The more we move toward God, whether we feel Him or not, the more we can find hope and trust in a love that is unfailing.\nAs we persevere in this trust, God eventually lifts us up again.

As a citizen, it is necessary that the State shall be obliged to protect the freedom of the rights of its citizens. However can\u2019t be denied the freedom of human rights between human beings with each other in fact lead to differences in interests that led to the emergence of conflicts that often lead to the occurrence of fatalities and loss of property. Whereas one of the citizens' rights is free to live anywhere within a territory of the State. Likewise with citizens of Indonesia, in the Constitution of the State has guaranteed the freedom to reside within the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Based on the experience of conflicts in the country, with the post-conflict handling of those who had previously conflicted it can be reunited in living a harmonious life, but unlike the conflict that occurred in Sambas Regency in 1999 between ethnic Malays and Madurese which has been over the years and with post-conflict efforts that have been done until now people in Sambas district have not been able to accept the presence of Madurese in Sambas Regency.\nAbu Ahmadi, Introduction to Sociology, 1975, Ramadhani, Surakarta.\nDoyle Paul Johnson, Classical And Modern Sociology Theory, 1986, Gramedia Pustaka Utama, Jakarta.\nGibson and Mitchell, Introduction to Group Counseling, Rineka Cipta, 1981, Jakarta.\nHendropuspito, Systematic Sociology, 1989, Kanisius, Yogyakarta.\nIshaq, Fundamentals of Legal Science, 2012, Sinar Grafika, Jakarta.\nIlham Bisri, Indonesian Legal System, 1998, Grafindo Persada, Jakarta.\nKusnadi, Fisherman Sociology Conflict (Poverty and Natural Resources Seize), 2002, LKI, Yogyakarta.\nMaswadi Rauf, Political Consensus A Theoretical Appraisal, 2002, Directorate General of Higher Education Depdikbud, Jakarta.\nSimon Fisher, et.al, Managing Conflict, Skills and Strategies for Action, 2001, The British Council.\nThe Constitution of the Year 1945 State of the Republic of Indonesia.\nAct Number 39 Year 1999 on Human Rights.\nAct Number 2 of 2002 on the Police of the Republic of Indonesia.\nAct Number 7 Year 2012 on Handling of Social Conflict.\nPresidential Instruction No. 2 of 2013 on Handling of Domestic Security Disorders.",

        "raw_content": "Installation Field 14\nMunicipality of Houten\nField 14 is an archaeological site on the southern edge of a new housing estate in Houten. The plot is about 11.4 hectares in size and is a listed monument. The land is currently in use as an orchard, pasture, and arable field.\nNo physical traces of the archaeological finds or occupation history are visible at the site. In 2000 archaeologists investigated a small portion of the site, because of plans to build a bicycle tunnel there. Drillings carried out in randomly selected locations elsewhere on the site revealed stone foundations, probably belonging to a Roman dwelling.\nOther than that, Field 14 has essentially been left untouched. The subsurface must remain undisturbed, so that the archaeological remains are preserved intact for future investigation. In view of this situation, we developed a plan that involves the least possible disturbance to the site and is mainly representational in character.\nJust as the new housing estate across the road draws attention to itself with a billboard and a message, the archaeological site now advertises its identity by means of a pixel display:\n\u2018AT WORK ON HISTORY HERE, AS TIME FLIES BY, IRREVERSIBLY'\nBecause the pixels are three-dimensional, two distinct images can be displayed simultaneously to viewers in different directions. Like a postcard with a picture that changes when you move it back and forth, the picture on the display changes as you drive past it. The text becomes an image, and the vague form of an old Roman dwelling becomes visible, like a transparent watermark on the landscape.\nThe installation is not only a message, but also an object. In its strategic location in the field, it looks somewhat misplaced among the grazing sheep. People who take the time to come closer to the construction, however, will find that it is possible to approach it and climb on to it. A staircase built into it leads visitors past reproductions of earlier excavations to a platform with a view of the field and its surroundings.\nThe installation is nominated for 'best public design' at the Dutch Design Awards 2008.",

I was in seventh grade, and a young, dumb kid,\" Gill recalled. 'I had a gym teacher that acted inappropriately towards me and was trying to do things that I didn\u2019t know what the hell was going on.\u201d\nVince Gill&apos;s Most Unforgettable Moments\n\"I was just fortunate that I got up and I ran,\" he added. \"I just jumped up and I ran. I don\u2019t know why. I don\u2019t think I ever told anybody my whole life. Even what\u2019s been going on has been giving me a little bit of courage to speak up, too.\"\nHe added that he wrote \"Forever Changed\" a number of years ago, but never knew if it was the right moment to record and release it.\nHe delivered the song in a stark arrangement, his pure, soaring tenor cracking with emotion in spots as he sang the story of a young girl who's been victimized. \"But God is watching, and he knows your name / Because of you, she's forever changed,\" he sings in the chorus.\nClick the video above to see part of Gill's emotionally shattering performance.\nThe #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have effected massive change at many levels in American culture over the past few months, originally sparked by incendiary allegations of a longstanding pattern of sexual exploitation on the part of movie executive Harvey Weinstein.

It is crucial to the reduction of poverty, due to the basic goods and ecosystem services it provides. To raise awareness of the challenges Just Forests invited well-known architect, TV presenter and passionate environmentalist Duncan Stewart to speak on this topic.\nThe Killarney Declaration on Nature will reflect Pope Francis\u2019 recently launched encyclical. The pope\u2019s encyclical letter on the environment, Laudato Si, makes the case for \u201cthe intimate relationship between the poor and the fragility of the planet\u201d and speaks of the Pope\u2019s conviction that \u201ceverything in the world is connected.\u201d\n1.6 billion people rely on forests and non-timber forest products for their livelihoods. Habitat degradation and the loss of biodiversity are threatening the livelihoods of more than 1 billion people living in dry and sub-humid lands. Strategies to protect biodiversity must therefore be developed for achieving poverty reduction and sustainable development.\nOn this United Nations International Day for Biological Diversity, let us recommit to global action to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss, for people and for our planet.\nSpeakers & Guests\nWood is an indispensable part of the material structure upon which civilization rests.\nOf all Roosevelt\u2019s achievements, he was proudest of his work in conservation of natural resources, and extending Federal protection to land and wildlife. Roosevelt established the United States Forest Service, signed into law the creation of five National Parks, and signed the 1906 Antiquities Act, under which he proclaimed 18 new U.S. National Monuments. He also established the first 51 Bird Reserves, four Game Preserves, and 150 National Forests, including Shoshone National Forest, the nation\u2019s first. The area of the United States that he placed under public protection totals approximately 230,000,000 acres (930,000 km2).

He kicks off the European leg of the trek on Tuesday night in Paris.

        "raw_content": "1.18 The Emperor's New Clothes\nOnce upon a time there lived a vain emperor whose only worry in life was to dress in elegant clothes. He changed clothes almost every hour and loved to show them off to his people.\nWord of the Emperor's refined habits spread over his kingdom and beyond. Two scoundrels who had heard of the Emperor's vanity decided to take advantage of it. They introduced themselves at the gates of the palace with a scheme in mind.\n\"We are two very good tailors and after many years of research we have invented an extraordinary method to weave a cloth so light and fine that it looks invisible. As a matter of fact it is invisible to anyone who is too stupid and incompetent to appreciate its quality.\"\nThe chief of the guards heard the scoundrel's strange story and sent for the court chamberlain. The chamberlain notified the prime minister, who ran to the Emperor and disclosed the incredible news. The Emperor's curiosity got the better of him and he decided to see the two scoundrels.\n\"Besides being invisible, your Highness, this cloth will be woven in colours and patterns created especially for you.\" The emperor gave the two men a bag of gold coins in exchange for their promise to begin working on the fabric immediately.\n\"Just tell us what you need to get started and we'll give it to you.\" The two scoundrels asked for a loom, silk, gold thread and then pretended to begin working. The Emperor thought he had spent his money quite well: in addition to getting a new extraordinary suit, he would discover which of his subjects were ignorant and incompetent. A few days later, he called the old and wise prime minister, who was considered by everyone as a man with common sense.\n\"Go and see how the work is proceeding,\" the Emperor told him, \"and come back to let me know.\"\nThe prime minister was welcomed by the two scoundrels.\n\"We're almost finished, but we need a lot more gold thread. Here, Excellency! Admire the colours, feel the softness!\" The old man bent over the loom and tried to see the fabric that was not there. He felt cold sweat on his forehead.\n\"I can't see anything,\" he thought. \"If I see nothing, that means I'm stupid! Or, worse, incompetent!\" If the prime minister admitted that he didn't see anything, he would be discharged from his office.\n\"What a marvellous fabric, he said then. \"I'll certainly tell the Emperor.\" The two scoundrels rubbed their hands gleefully. They had almost made it. More thread was requested to finish the work.\nFinally, the Emperor received the announcement that the two tailors had come to take all the measurements needed to sew his new suit.\n\"Come in,\" the Emperor ordered. Even as they bowed, the two scoundrels pretended to be holding large roll of fabric.\n\"Here it is your Highness, the result of our labour,\" the scoundrels said. \"We have worked night and day but, at last, the most beautiful fabric in the world is ready for you. Look at the colours and feel how fine it is.\" Of course the Emperor did not see any colours and could not feel any cloth between his fingers. He panicked and felt like fainting. But luckily the throne was right behind him and he sat down. But when he realized that no one could know that he did not see the fabric, he felt better. Nobody could find out he was stupid and incompetent. And the Emperor didn't know that everybody else around him thought and did the very same thing.\nThe farce continued as the two scoundrels had foreseen it. Once they had taken the measurements, the two began cutting the air with scissors while sewing with their needles an invisible cloth.\n\"Your Highness, you'll have to take off your clothes to try on your new ones.\" The two scoundrels draped the new clothes on him and then held up a mirror. The Emperor was embarrassed but since none of his bystanders were, he felt relieved.\n\"Yes, this is a beautiful suit and it looks very good on me,\" the Emperor said trying to look comfortable. \"You've done a fine job.\"\n\"Your Majesty,\" the prime minister said, \"we have a request for you. The people have found out about this extraordinary fabric and they are anxious to see you in your new suit.\" The Emperor was doubtful showing himself naked to the people, but then he abandoned his fears. After all, no one would know about it except the ignorant and the incompetent.\n\"All right,\" he said. \"I will grant the people this privilege.\" He summoned his carriage and the ceremonial parade was formed. A group of dignitaries walked at the very front of the procession and anxiously scrutinized the faces of the people in the street. All the people had gathered in the main square, pushing and shoving to get a better look. An applause welcomed the regal procession. Everyone wanted to know how stupid or incompetent his or her neighbour was but, as the Emperor passed, a strange murmur rose from the crowd.\nEveryone said, loud enough for the others to hear: \"Look at the Emperor's new clothes. They're beautiful!\"\n\"What a marvellous train!\"\n\"And the colours! The colours of that beautiful fabric! I have never seen anything like it in my life.\" They all tried to conceal their disappointment at not being able to see the clothes, and since nobody was willing to admit his own stupidity and incompetence, they all behaved as the two scoundrels had predicted.\nA child, however, who had no important job and could only see things as his eyes showed them to him, went up to the carriage.\n\"The Emperor is naked,\" he said.\n\"Fool!\" his father reprimanded, running after him. \"Don't talk nonsense!\" He grabbed his child and took him away. But the boy's remark, which had been heard by the bystanders, was repeated over and over again until everyone cried:\n\"The boy is right! The Emperor is naked! It's true!\"\nThe Emperor realized that the people were right but could not admit to that. He though it better to continue the procession under the illusion that anyone who couldn't see his clothes was either stupid or incompetent. And he stood stiffly on his carriage, while behind him a page held his imaginary mantle.\nQ 1: What does vain mean?\nQ 2: Why did the prime minister tell the Emperor about the scoundrels?\nBecause the scoundrels were so convincing.\nBecause he would be discharged.\nBecause the Emperor was so excited and the prime minister didn't want to let him down.\nBecause he could see the cloth.\nQ 3: Why do you think the Emperor continued walking after everyone said he was naked.\nBecause he did not want anyone to think him stupid or incompetent.\nBecause he was too stupid to realize he'd been made a fool of.\nBecause he thought he had clothes on.\nBecause he thought he looked good.\nQ 4: Why did the farce continue?\nThe Emperor wanted more clothes.\nThe scoundrels knew everyone would be afraid to admit they could not see the Emperor's clothes.\nThe scoundrels were smarter than all the village people.\nThe scoundrels did create a set of clothes for the Emperor.",

        "raw_content": "In recent days, interventions by several people, including many Jewish left wing activists, have begun to deconstruct the \u2018problem with antisemitism\u2019 that the Left, and members of the Labour Party in particular, are charged with, mostly by people with nefarious agendas. It has also been acknowledged that there are a small number of real incidents that must be addressed. Make no mistake: Ken Livingstone\u2019s crass intervention was a massive setback for those efforts, and a free gift to those manipulating the issue for right wing purposes.\nEverything that was so wrong about what he said is way too long to put in a brief post but in headlines \u2013 Hitler\u2019s poisonous attitudes to ALL Jews regardless of their political leanings, his portrayal of them as a cancer and a danger to humanity that he wanted to remove from German life, were well established long before 1932, when he wrote Mein Kampf (1925 and 1927). The Holocaust was not about one person suddenly going \u2018mad and killing 6 million Jews\u2019. Like elsewhere in Europe, Zionists were a weak and marginal force in Germany\u2019s Jewish community. Any talk of \u2018Nazi-Zionist collaboration\u2019, \u2018Nazi Zionist deals\u2019 etc without reference to the massive power imbalance is nonsense. Some Zionists tried to exploit Nazi intentions to remove Jews from German society. The vast majority of German Zionists shared the same fate as most German non-Zionist and anti-Zionist Jews \u2013 they were reduced to ashes.\nMy plea to fellow anti-racist, anti-Zionist, socialist activists is:\nDon\u2019t waste any of your precious time today trying to rationalize, defend or explain away Livingstone\u2019s comments. Concentrate instead on challenging the terms of the debate as set by the right-wing alliance that are exploiting this whole issue. Concentrate on how to persuade and split off those who are genuinely worried about rising antisemitism from those exploiting the issues. Concentrate on showing how the Left can demonstrate that the fight against antisemitism is tied up with the fight against all racism including Islamophobia; concentrate on exposing how those feigning sympathy for Jews are implicated in racism against others; and concentrate on ways to ensure free speech and rational debate about the realities of what Zionism and Israeli policy is enacting daily against the Palestinians.\nApr 28 NHS Transformation: Beware snake oil salesmen!",

His dark, sensuous paintings of flowers and interiors are highly prized and regarded as his finest works.\nEdgard Wiethase was born in Antwerp in 1881 where he studied as a young man at the Academy. Here, under the supervision of the painters Boom, Mertens and Verhaert he was schooled in the traditions of Flemish painting. From the Academy he graduated to the Nationaal Hoger Instituut Schone Kunsten Antwerpen to complete his education with the great Frans van Leemputten. It was Leemputten, himself an animal painter, that influenced Wiethase\u2019s decision to include horses within his landscapes frequently. In 1903 he first exhibited with the Als Ik Kan Group, a society of like minded painters keen on furthering the public\u2019s awareness of post-Impressionism. Apart from his oil painting Wiethase also was a keen watercolorist and it is these as well as his oils that are held by many of Belgium\u2019s premier museums including those at Mons and Antwerp. Edgard Wiethase died in Uccle, close to Brussels, in 1965.",

The performance-based funding plan was not implemented.\nThe bill repeals the statutory provision requiring performance contracts between the department of higher education (department) and each institution, except for performance contracts with the Colorado school of mines and private institutions participating in the college opportunity fund program. Instead, the department and the public institutions shall affirm annually the institutions' contribution toward meeting master plan goals. The department shall report annually to legislative committees concerning the institutions' progress towards those goals using data collected for state and federal reporting and state funding purposes. The department shall post the information on its website. The bill makes conforming amendments relating to the repeal.\nThe bill repeals a provision that allowed the Colorado commission on higher education (commission) to waive any provision of article 1 of title 23, Colorado Revised Statutes, for a governing board with a performance contract. The bill replaces this with provisions that modify statutory sections that are currently waived or modified for all the state higher education governing boards as part of their performance contracts. Specifically, the bill:\nRemoves the requirement that an institution submit a proposal to obtain approval from the commission to create, modify, or discontinue an academic or vocational program, so long as the programs offered are consistent with the institution's statutory role and mission;\nAmends provisions relating to commission master plan approval and approval of capital construction projects. Under certain circumstances, and with the commission's approval, an institution is not required to seek facility master plan approval or approval of capital construction projects.\nAmends provisions related to student fees to enable the commission to waive fee policies.\nThe bill makes other changes to commission responsibilities, including repealing an obsolete program for designating institutions' programs of excellence, allowing the commission to waive provisions relating to its oversight of graduate program duplication, requiring a report on student fees to continue indefinitely and to address student tuition, and modifying the commission's responsibilities related to the development of cooperative programs among state-supported institutions.",

        "raw_content": "Concerning civil forfeiture reform, and, in connection therewith, changing the entity required to report on forfeitures, expanding the scope of the forfeitures to be reported, establishing grant programs, changing the disbursement of net forfeiture proceeds, and making an appropriation.\nDuring the 2017 session, the general assembly enacted a bill involving civil forfeiture requiring seizing agencies to submit reports to the department of local affairs (department). The bill requires reporting agencies rather than seizing agencies to file the reports and defines 'reporting agency'. The bill also expands the scope of the reports to include seizures related to a local public nuisance law or ordinance.\nThe 2017 act also prohibited seizing agencies from receiving forfeiture proceeds from the federal government unless the aggregate value of property seized in a case is over $50,000. The bill establishes the law enforcement assistance grant program in the department of public safety to reimburse seizing agencies for revenue lost because of this prohibition.\nThe bill establishes the law enforcement community services grant program (program) in the division of local government in the department to provide grants to law enforcement agencies, local governments, and community organizations to improve community services. It establishes a committee to review grant applications and make recommendations on grant awards and establishes a fund from which grants are paid.\nUnder current law, the net balance of proceeds received from a forfeiture action are divided evenly between the governmental body of the seizing agency and the managed service organization providing behavioral health in the judicial district (MSO). The bill provides that the 50% that went to the MSO is now divided so that the MSO and the new law enforcement community services grant program fund each receive 25%.\n04/30/2018 - Senate Committee on State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Refer Unamended to Finance\n02/06/2018 - House Committee on Judiciary Refer Amended to Finance",

        "raw_content": "The way forward is bright \u2013 Tom Bell\nBrexit BY Tom Bell15th December 2016\nThe campaign before the referendum on June 23rd was \u2013 as almost every election or referendum is \u2013 smeared with exaggeration, soundbites, the twisting of truths, emotion and scare-mongering, on both sides.\nIt was always inevitable then, that the winning side would face accusations of foul-play and that the outcome is therefore illegitimate. If I\u2019m honest, I\u2019d probably have had a part to play in that if we have voted to Remain.\nCounterfactuals are necessarily difficult to substantiate. But conveniently, it\u2019s only because we voted Leave that some of the scaremongering of the Remain side can be verified with the true outcomes of things in the immediate aftermath of the vote to Leave.\nDuring the EU referendum campaign, voters were told on many occasions that there would be significant economic damage to the economy \u2013 that we\u2019d see a recession before the end of 2017; that employment would fall; that immigration officers would be kicked out of France and that there\u2019d me migrant camps in Kent. We were told there\u2019d be an emergency budget; that each family would be \u00a34,300 worse off; that the stock market would collapse, and that the Scots would all want to leave.\nHow\u2019s that working out then? Well, to the embarrassment of much of our political class, it\u2019s not exactly panned out that way.\nBritish stocks are the best performing in Europe. Employment has reached a record high and is still increasing. The emergency budget was dropped within days of the vote and no-one seriously attempts to defend Osborne\u2019s figure anymore. What\u2019s more the support for Scottish independence hasn\u2019t increased at all, and the popularity of UKIP as a party for government has fallen.\nYes the pound has also fallen off a cliff, but last year the IMF said it was 13 percent overvalued anyway. What\u2019s more, currency devaluation isn\u2019t entirely a bad thing. They\u2019re not national virility indicators, but simply economic shock-absorbers. Take Greece for example \u2013 they\u2019re in desperate need of a more affordable currency, but the Euro is pinned up by the stronger economies in the EU, and Greece is left paralysed.\nJust as in politics things are rarely as bad as they first seem to be, it is also the case that things are rarely as good as they look. For those who spoke to me prior to the referendum, I always said that I was a 70/30 Leaver. That is, I fully recognised the significant risk there is to our economy as we re-align our trade relationships with the rest of the world \u2013 and there truly are real risks that the government will have to navigate with an open mind and with broad horizons.\nBut I saw Britain leaving the EU as a removal of a restraint, rather than a guarantee of a better outcome. I believe it is appropriate to remind ourselves, whichever side of the debate we finally fell down on, two of the main benefits of becoming an independent country again:\nOur potential to develop new trade relationships with the rest of the world will be restored.\nThe division, disenfranchisement and isolation that many of our communities feel can begin to be healed as we strengthen our democracy and make every citizen feel like they\u2019re being listened to.\nThere are a number of factors which we couldn\u2019t have known prior to the referendum that give me more confidence than I had before that Theresa May will find the right deal for Britain \u2013 she holds the Aces in these negotiations:\nBritish markets have grown not shrunk since the vote to Leave.\nTrump is much more pro US-UK trade than Obama and will put us to the front of the queue for a trade deal. He is also anti-EU.\nThe Euro is in tatters and is widely recognised as the single biggest failure of the whole EU project. Losing Britain as a close trading partner only weakens it further.\nThe SNP has failed to use the Leave vote to boost support for Scottish independence.\nWe\u2019ve received numerous notifications of intent to develop free trade agreements with some of the world\u2019s fastest-growing economies and many of our closest allies.\nCumulatively, these facts give May a strong and legitimate negotiating position \u2013 we really don\u2019t need them as much as they need us. And if we\u2019re honest there\u2019s not much the EU could give us if we wanted it to. All we\u2019re really interested in, is tariff-free access to buy and sell in the internal market. She\u2019s holding the negotiating power.\nAnd this is telling. When a country is free to engage with the world on its own terms, it becomes far less dependent on any one corner of the global market. As a free and independent country, we have a huge potential which we\u2019re about to realise:\nMaking our own laws\nTrading on the basis of mutual product recognition, rather than common standards\nStronger borders for greater security and a fairer immigration policy\nBeing free from the common external tariff\nRediscovering our old friends in the Commonwealth and the English-speaking, common law nations\nIn 1817, British political economist David Ricardo, along with Adam Smith, proposed the idea of \u201ccomparative advantage\u201d \u2013 a concept which is widely considered to have been the driving force behind global poverty reduction and alleviation over the past two centuries. It focusses on industry specialisation and free trade as the best sustainable system for global economic development.\nAnd the best thing, is that when markets are free, and trade is easy, it happens naturally. It doesn\u2019t need huge building full of autocrats deciding on the most efficient means of production, distribution and exchange. Optimum feasible efficiency is arrived at through voluntary bilateral agreements.\nBy leaving the common external tariff, we will be doing perhaps the greatest favour to not only ourselves, but to some of the poorest countries on earth. We will be allowing them to trade with us \u2013 sell us their coffee, fruit and vegetables and raw materials. As voluntary exchange and comparative advantage and specialisation run their course, and the invisible hand of the democratised pricing mechanism makes the decisions, the poorest are freed to lift themselves out of poverty by trading the products of their own labour.\nWe also have a huge opportunity for reform at home \u2013 lower and flatter taxes, a simpler and more localised welfare system, reduced regulation. A freer and most prosperous home.\nAs Daniel Hannan wrote recently in his book \u2018What Next: How to make the most of Brexit\u2019:\n\u201cAfter forty-three years, we have pushed the door ajar. A rectangle of light dazzles us and, as our eyes adjust, we see a summer meadow. Swallows swoop against the blue sky. We hear the gurgling of a little brook.

        "title": "In November we remember",
        "raw_content": "An article by Colin Bossen about the IWW's decline and if there are lessons to learn from that period today.\nFor more than 100 years it has been a Wobbly tradition to remember all of those who gave their lives to struggle for a better world during the month of November. The historian Franklin Rosemont argued that this tradition predates the founding of the IWW itself, and harkens back to remembering the Haymarket martyrs. In his essay, \u201cIn November We Remember: The IWW & the Commemoration of Haymarket,\u201d he quotes an unnamed Wobbly writer that this tradition, \u201cgives a sense of continuity to the struggle of workers, not only from year to year but from generation to generation.\u201d\nAs a young Wobbly in the late 1990s, I felt a palpable connection to that tradition when I joined the San Francisco General Membership Branch. One of the elder members, Franklin Devore, had been the long-time lover of the legendary soap-boxer San Francisco Phil Mellman. Mellman was credited with mastering the art of \u201cwindmilling.\u201d That was the practice of speaking rapidly and dramatically in public to attract attention for the IWW cause. A windmiller like Mellman would stand at a street corner and broadcast as much Wobbly wisdom as possible before the cops came. In the 1910s and 1920s, windmilling was an effective way to spread the Wobbly gospel.\nI learned a lot about Wobbly culture, history and philosophy from elders like Devore. I was privileged to know Utah Philips and Carlos Cortez, and Wobblies who joined the union in the 1960s and early 1970s like Mike Hargis, Jon Bekken, Penny Pixler, F. N. Brill and Neil McLean all passed on to me the lessons that they learned from Wobbly elders.\nRecently though, I have been wondering if I learned the wrong lessons from those elders. The lessons that they taught me were primarily about the IWW\u2019s dramatic successes: our successes organizing migrant workers in the forests and in the agricultural fields; our victories in the free speech fights in San Diego and Spokane; and our dramatic strikes in Lawrence and Lowell.\nThe narratives of those successes were frequently matched by the narratives around the IWW\u2019s decline. I learned three. One was that the union was essentially destroyed around 1919 when the U.S. government jailed the majority of IWW leaders. A second was that the union\u2019s demise came about in 1924 when it split into two factions around a debate over centralization vs. decentralization, to generalize. The third was that the union survived these two catastrophes, saw its membership recover in the 1930s with organizing amongst metal workers in Cleveland, only to finally collapse in the wake of a refusal to sign McCarthy-era loyalty oaths.\nA couple of weeks ago I received some pages from the August 1950 edition of the IWW\u2019s internal publication, the General Organizing Bulletin (GOB), that has me rethinking these narratives. A graph from that GOB depicts the union\u2019s membership in a free fall from 1943 to 1949. Over the course of six years the union lost more than 60 percent of its membership. This means that by the time the loyalty oath controversy caused the Cleveland branch to leave the union it was already in an institutional death spiral.\nAccompanying the graph is a list of 20 questions drafted by William Henkleman and Kenneth Ives, entitled \u201cGroups of Questions on IWW Problems and Policies.\u201d One group of questions runs:\n\u201cCan the IWW make progress best by:\na) Trying to educate and organize individuals, isolated workers as it mostly has done in recent decades..? (sic)\nb) Trying to organize individual shops, as we have some times done in the last fifteen years..? (sic)\nc) Trying to educate within some inde pendent unions, such as the Confedeated Unions Group..? (sic)\nd) Trying to set up an affiliated but self-supporting organization for edu cation as distinct from propaganda... for former members, sympathizers and other workers want to study the extension of workers control and operation, union democracy, etc., who may feel that the IWW as a union can\u2019t help them on their present job..? (sic)\ne) Or some combination of those pro grams..? (sic)\nFor each of the above methods, what amount of activity by members, what skills, what trained organizers, what funds, what programs are needed, and what types of situations will these be likely to succeed in..? (sic)\u201d\nWhen I read these questions I thought that they were quite contemporary. That observation, coupled with the 1940s membership statistics, has prompted me to ask: How can we learn from the IWW\u2019s failures? The IWW\u2019s membership now is close to what it was in the early 1940s. Our organizing over the last decade-and-a-half has been quite similar to the organizing that Henkleman and Ives complained about in 1950. It has been targeted at individuals and individual shops, and it is rarely industrial.\nThis observation leads me to want to know how we can break these patterns. They have haunted our union for most of its existence. They are as much a part of our legacy as the wonderful stories we tell about free speech fights and textile strikes. Studying our failures is the way we learn not to repeat them. This November, instead of just celebrating the rich legacy of the IWW, take time in your branch or at your workplace to think about the ways in which you have been stuck in your organizing. Look to our organization\u2019s failures and ask the question: What could have been done differently to avoid the mistakes that were made? It is not an easy question to ask but in its answer may lie what we need to move the IWW up from 2,000 to 100,000 members. And that would be the best way to remember all of our Fellow Workers.\nIn November we remember.pdf 142.78 KB\n\u2039 Wobblies and unfair labor practices up Columns from 2013 \u203a\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been robbed long enough.

And I think it accurately conveys the sense, which I think all of us have, of being \"stuck\" where we are and not being sure how to move forward. I think the IWW has been \"stuck\" for a long time, and pretty much repeated, with slight tweaks, the same answers over and over again.\nI don't have much more to add at the moment, but I appreciate this piece as a more than welcome antidote to the kind of IWW-positivism that I see some folks resort to, out of seeming lack of any better ideas. We gotta keep wrestling with these questions if we want to \"move forward.\"\nrebop888\n\"One of the elder members, Franklin Devore, had been the long-time lover of the legendary soap-boxer San Francisco Phil Mellman.\"\nThis is total bs.\nI knew Phil and Frank over many years and spent many hundreds of hours with them, particularly in the early 70's.\nThat Franklin was gay and Phil was legendary and that they were both long-term members of the IWW - frequently known as the Wobblies - and also long-term room-mates who had a very mutually supportive relationship - is all factually true but that they had a sexual relationship of any kind is entirely false.\nPhil WAS a dedicated pot-smoker and I don't remember any evening at their flat that didn't involve a couple of joints or three.\nQuite often I would drop by with a small baggie of anything especially nice that might have come my way and Phil would immediately command: \"Frank, get the scissors\" and would use them to prepare it for consumption himself in his own particular manner.\nI'm delighted that Phil and Frank are both remembered but appalled that such inaccurate information about them should be perpetrated by Juan Conatz who was obviously very late on the scene.\nI have no idea about those two folks (and I don't really care to be honest), but Juan's not the one who wrote this. I don't think he'd have any idea whether those two had a sexual relationship or not.\nI'd think the IW and Collin Bossen are probably the best two people take up your beef with.\nIn any case, I like this bit of the article alot:\nI have been wondering if I learned the wrong lessons from those elders. The lessons that they taught me were primarily about the IWW\u2019s dramatic successes: our successes organizing migrant workers in the forests and in the agricultural fields; our victories in the free speech fights in San Diego and Spokane; and our dramatic strikes in Lawrence and Lowell.\nI love the connection those elders give/gave us to the past, but I think it's large part of the reason the IWW has been a re-enactment society for politicos and lefty historical nerds for the majority of it's existence.\nI dunno. Having spent near 40 years in the movement, I'm not sure how to reply without being snarky. My friend, we all get old and it ain't always pretty. And newer generations all want to reinvent the wheel....as generations before.\nI hope I'm here in another 30-40 years to see how your generation is spoken about.\nAh shit syndicalist, I hope that didn't come across as offensive.\nFWIW, I would have never put you in the category. I'm thinking of some of the folks I used to encounter on the national IWW list when I was a member five or so years ago. Someone would discuss an organising problems they were having in the bar where they worked and certain old-timers would go off on one about the problems the AWO faced in the mid-nineteen-teens and how the situations are clearly analogous. Then they'd reference how when they joined the IWW, they were mentored by X wobbly historical figure as a mark of their supposed knowledge of the topic. And if was a fucking useless conversation.\nAny advice I've seen from you always seems, while obviously informed by your experience, to take into consideration the differences between when you were organising, now, and ya know, 100 years ago. You are definetly not the kind of person I had in mind when I wrote that.\nChili, I'll come back to this later. I get what you're saying, have experienced similar types and so forth. But some of this runs in reverse as well. That past experiences are not current experiences and so, well, shut up and sit on a rocking chair.\nAnd the arrogance of all generations saying they know best is unacceptable as well.\nIronically, before I saw your comment I read the is piece on multi-generations: http://libcom.org/library/supporting-multigenerational-union Although directed towards the IWW, there are some cross-over aspects that cover the libertarian workers movement in general.\nPerhaps I'll just comment on that piev=ce, taking in some of how I feel about multi-generational stuff.\nThanks Syndicalist. Just on a small point:\nthe arrogance of all generations saying they know best is unacceptable as well.\nThat wasn't the point of my post. In fact, I honestly feel like I'm part of a lost generation of militants (owing to Thatcher, Reagan, and the general decline of class struggle) and I wish there were more militants left over from the last generation to pass on those lessons. My post was specifically aimed at my experience in the IWW and those particular elders who didn't pass on their practical experiences in struggle, but constantly banged on about the heyday of the IWW.\nChili....actually, my quoted comment was not directed at anything you said. It was more like an unsolicited commentary based on my own general movement observations/experiences.\nWell, I left the IWW in like 1982ish for many reasons. I only rejoined in May or so. So, sorry, if I wasn't speaking to your personal experiences but offering a broader commentary.\nThe means for expansion I'd say is expanding our current campaigns. Starbucks and Jimmy Johns (although more people focus on Starbucks) are the big IWW campaigns going on. The organizer training is really solid. It's logistics of getting training to all salts and getting more people to salt at these locations. There's more to it, but with the expansion of right-to-work legislation in the US north (traditionally the manufacturing union stronghold for organized labor in the US), the IWW should be gaining popularity. I am a wob and put in 9 months on the JJs campaign.",

        "title": "Reflections on Castoriadis and Bookchin",
        "raw_content": "A brief examination of certain political aspects of the works of Cornelius Castoriadis and Murray Bookchin and their similarities.\nBy Yavor Tarinski\nVandana Shiva [1]\nNowadays constantly we are being told \u201cfrom above\u201d that we don't have a choice but to conform to the status quo. The dominant power institutions are doing everything they can to convince us that the solution to our social and environmental problems is going to be found in the very same policies that have created them in the first place. The T.I.N.A. narrative continues to dominate the mainstream discourse and the widespread consumerist culture, in combination with the long-lasting representative crisis, is infecting people's imaginary with cynicism, general conformism and apathy.\nAmongst the diverse spectrum of thinkers that nowadays are developing these new significations we can distinguish Cornelius Castoriadis and Murray Bookchin as two of the most influential. Both emerged from the Left and through their thought, as well as activist practices, managed to overpass the ideological dogmas and to develop their own political projects, incorporating and advancing further direct democracy and ecology. It\u2019s not surprising that they collaborated in the journal Society & Nature, and later in its successor Democracy & Nature, until 1996, when a bitter conflict between the two emerged [2].\nNowadays their legacy is being carried on by social movements and struggles that place these two significations at the heart of their political activities. Castoriadis's thought was revitalized with the popular uprisings across Europe of the last years and especially with the so called \u201cMovement of the Squares\u201d (also known as The Indignados), that was driven not by \u201cpure\u201d ideologies but by passion for political action and critical thinking, while Bookchin's project is being partially implemented in practice by the kurdish liberation movement in the heart of the Middle East (most notably in Rojava), influencing it to such a degree that it completely abandoned its marxist-leninist orientation.\nAccording to Castoriadis, the majority of human societies were established on the basis of heteronomy, which he describes as a situation in which the society's rules are being set by some extra-social source (such as the party, god, historic necessity etc.). The institutions of the heteronomous societies are concieved as given/self-evident and thus, unquestionable, i.e. incompatible with popular interaction. For him the organizational structure of the modern western world, while usually characterized as \"democracy\", is actually a liberal oligarchy, with some liberties for the people, but the general management of social life is being situated in the hands of tiny elites (Castoriadis. 1989).\nCastoriadis derives his understanding of democracy from the classical meaning of the term, originating from Ancient Athens (demos/people and kratos/power). Thus on the basis of this he denotes the today's liberal regimes as non-democratic, since they are based on the election of representatives and not on direct citizen participation. According to him democracy can be only direct, thus incompatible with bureaucracy, expertism, economic inequality and other features of our modern political system (Castoriadis. 1989).\nFor Bookchin too, the characterization of the today's system as a democracy was a mistake, an oxymoron. He reminds us that two centuries ago the term democracy was depicted by rulers as \"mob rule\", a prelude to chaos, while nowadays is being used to mask one representative regime, which in its essence is republican oligarchy since a tiny clique of chosen few rules over the powerless many (Bookchin. 1996).\nAfter many years of involvement in different political movements, Bookchin developed his own political project, called Communalism. Based on direct democracy, it revolves extensively around the question of power, rejecting escapist and lifestyle practices. Communalism focuses instead on a center of power, that could potentially be subjected to the will of the people - the municipal council - through which to create and coordinate local assembles. He emphasized on the antagonistic character, towards the state apparatus, that these institutions have and the possibility of them to become the exclusive sources of power in their villages, towns and cities. The democratized municipalities, Bookchin suggested, would confederate with each other by sending revocable delegates to popular assemblies and confederal councils, thus challenging the need of centralized statist power. This concrete model Bookchin called libertarian municipalism (Bookchin. 1996), which have influenced to a big degree Abdullah \u00d6calan and the Kurdish struggle for social liberation.\nA distinguishing feature of Bookchin's vision of direct democracy in his communalism was the element of majority voting, which he considered it as the only equitable way for a large number of people to make decisions (Bookchin. 2002). According to him consensus, in which a single person can veto every decision, presents a danger for society to be dismantled. However, according to him, all members of society possess knowledge and memory, and thus the social collectivity does not have interest in depriving \"minorities\" of their rights. For him the views of a minority are potential source of new insights and nascent truths, which are great sources of creativity and progress for society as a whole.\nCastoriadis argues that ecology is, in its essence, a political matter. It is about political choices for setting certain limits and goals in the relationship between humanity and nature (Castoriadis. 1993). It has nothing to do with science, since the latter is about exploring possibilities and giving answers to specific questions and not about self-limitation. However, Castoriadis urges for mobilizing science's resources for exploring nature and our impact on it, but he remains firm that the choice that will be made in the end will be in its essence a political one.\nTherefore the solutions that should be given to every ecological crisis should be political. Castoriadis remains critical of the green parties and the parliamentary system in general, since through the electoral processes it strives at \"liberating\" the people from politics, giving it instead solely in the hands of professional \"representatives\". As a result of this the people are left to view nature in de-politicized manner, only as a commodity, because of which many contemporary ecological movements deal almost exclusively with questions about the environment, disconcerned with social and political matters.\nFollowing this line of thought it comes as no surprise that Castoriadis remains critical towards the rear occasions when big green movements and parties are coming up with proposals of political nature for resolving the environmental crisis (Castoriadis. 1981). This is so, because most of the time, although their political proposals revolve around more popular participation - for example green parties that have come up with proposals for sortition and rotation of their M.P.'s, more referendums etc. - they are still embedded in the contemporary parliamentary regime. Being advocate of direct democracy, Castoriadis believes, that single elements of it, being embedded in the representative system, will loose their meaning.\nSimilarly to him, Bookchin also links the ecological sphere with the social one and politics in general. For him nearly all of the present ecological problems result from problems deeply rooted in the social order - because of which he spoke about social ecology (Bookchin. 1993). Ecological crises couldn't be neither understood nor much less resolved if not linked to society, since economic, cultural, gender and other conflicts in it were the source of serious ecological dislocations.\nDespite the differences and disagreements between them, Castoriadis and Bookchin shared a lot in common - especially the way they viewed direct democracy and ecology. Their contributions in these fields provided very fertile soil for further theoretical and practical advance. It is not by chance that in a period in which the questions of democracy and ecology are attracting growing attention, we listen ever more often about the two of them.\n[1] Stephen Spencer, Race and Ethnicity: Culture, Identity, and Representation\n(2014).

'Direct Democracy' appears to have been turned here into a new ideology privileging 'form' over 'content'.",

        "raw_content": "Health Care Plans and Medical Practice\nVoluntary Plans for Health Insurance\nThe Government and Health Care Plans\nControversy over the administration proposal to finance certain medical services to the aged under the social security system presents a new phase in the country's continuing effort to adjust to striking changes in the practice of medicine. In the United States, the present medical order is characterized by protective and curative procedures vastly more effective\u2014but far more costly\u2014than those used at any time in the past, and by unprecedented public demand for enjoyment of their benefits. Traditional ways of rendering medical services have been greatly modified by the simultaneous development of new medical techniques and of insurance plans to give protection against the often heavy costs of illness.\nOver the years, the earlier opposition to prepayment for medical care has virtually disappeared; the prepayment principle is now all but universally accepted. But a great debate continues over the role to be played in this field by the federal government. Whatever the outcome of the immediate controversy over provision of health care for the aged, it is clear that discussion of how best to bring a high order of medical service to increasing numbers of people\u2014young as well as old\u2014will go on into the future. The form that plans for doing so may take will be influenced by, and in turn may influence, the still changing patterns of medical practice.\nDisappearance of Traditional Family Doctor\nA recent Brookings Institution study of the medical profession noted that \u201cEven in the mass media the traditional symbol of medical care\u2014the kindly old family doctor with his big heart and little black bag, part healer, part priest, part family counselor\u2014has been replaced by the picture of the highly trained impersonal young surgeon, in mask and rigidly aseptic garb, surrounded by the complex and expensive equipment of a hospital operating room.\u201d\nSep. 21, 2012 Assessing the New Health Care Law\nJun. 11, 2010 Health-Care Reform\nAug. 28, 2009 Health-Care Reform\nMar. 30, 2007 Universal Coverage\nJun. 14, 2002 Covering the Uninsured\nApr. 16, 1999 Managing Managed Care\nApr. 12, 1996 Managed Care\nMar. 17, 1995 Primary Care\nNov. 23, 1990 Setting Limits on Medical Care\nOct. 14, 1988 The Failure to Contain Medical Costs\nAug. 10, 1984 Health Care: Pressure for Change\nApr. 08, 1983 Rising Cost of Health Care\nJan. 28, 1977 Controlling Health Costs\nAug. 09, 1974 Health Maintenance Organizations\nJun. 13, 1973 Health Care in Britain and America\nJan. 18, 1970 Future of Health Insurance\nJun. 20, 1962 Health Care Plans and Medical Practice\nMay 28, 1958 Health Insurance Costs\nFeb. 17, 1954 Government Aid for Health Plans\nNov. 22, 1949 Compensation for Disability\nAug. 30, 1946 Public Medical Care\nJan. 25, 1944 Medical Insurance\nSep. 16, 1938 Health Insurance in Foreign Countries\nMar. 06, 1937 Toward Health Insurance\nJul. 09, 1934 Sickness Insurance and Group Hospitalization\nMedical Profession and Personnel",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab \u201cSex and the City 2\u201d Movie Review\n\u201cIron Man 2\u201d Movie Review \u00bb\nWhen a Ridley Scott film comes out, I immediately conjure up images of the many great films he has directed, such Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, and Black Hawk Down. The same goes for Russell Crowe. When he is headlining a film, thoughts of the aforementioned Gladiator, plus A Beautiful Mind, and The Insider come to mind. Certainly, when these two team up, as they have several times before, the bar is set to a higher standard. It is perhaps because of this, that \u201cRobin Hood\u201d does not meet this standard, but is still a worthwhile summer action film.\nFor those expecting an uplifting, fun movie in the spirit of the many previous Robin Hood films, you may be a bit disappointed. As they saying goes, \u201cThis is not your father\u2019s Robin Hood.\u201d Rather, it is a prequel which tells the story of the beginnings of such characters as Marion Loxley, Friar Tuck, King Richard, and of course, Robin Longstride. In the title role, Russell Crowe plays Robin Longstride (we will come to know him as Robin Hood down the road) straight up serious. He is an archer in King Richard\u2019s army, but is left with nothing when King Richard is killed and his army is split up. Returning from battle, he is faced with a new King and uncovers a conspiracy involving members of the King John\u2019s court and the French.\nThis leads to Robin organizing an army of his own as he effectively convinces the armies of many smaller towns to band together and prevent the French invasion. By now, Ridley Scott is a proven master at choreographing complicated large scale battle scenes. With nearly the entire third act devoted to the climactic battle, Scott has plenty of canvas to create such a scene and the results rank with some of the best. The problem for me is the originality aspect. Countless better films like Braveheart, 300, and Scott\u2019s own Gladiator has similar sequences. How many movies now have featured a scene with thousands of arrows being fired from afar, at the same time, and thus landing on a sometimes shielded army? Bottom line, you\u2019ve seen this before and Robin Hood brings nothing new to the table and seems to be missing the \u201cwow\u201d factor necessary for this type of film.\nThe film has a 140 minute running time and is filled with numerous talkative scenes not unlike Iron Man 2 last week. This slows things down considerably and with no real humor to speak of, the serious tone may leave some looking down at their watch. I am all for dialogue, but it has to be engaging conversation that evokes some kind of emotion from the audience, whether it be laughter, sympathy, or sadness. Give us something! Instead, we are left many emotionless scenes about characters you will likely not care for.\nMake no mistake, the film is nice to look at and there was clearly a lot of effort that went into every shot. The technical achievements in this film are top notch and the CGI, especially in the third act, are as good as you will see this summer. Ridley Scott is a master director, but I think his screenwriter, Brian Helgeland, may have fallen short on this one and that may be where the shortcoming is.\nKnow this. I consider \u201cRobin Hood: Prince of Thieves\u201d to be a great film with great memorable characters. There were scenes throughout that film which had suspense and hooked the audience emotionally. There is none of that in Scott\u2019s film. No romance with Maid Marion, nor a hint of it. No Merry Men. No stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Apparently, Robin Hood is going to live a lot better days in the future. GRADE: C",

        "raw_content": "Liquid-crystal display, which is a graphic ultra-thin display device, which is composed of a certain number of colored or black-and-white pixels placed in a light source or reflected in front of a reflection. Liquid crystal display power consumption is very low, so the engineers favour, suitable for use of battery electronic equipment. Its main principle is to stimulate liquid crystal molecule to generate point, line, and the surface to match the back lamp tube.\nWorking principle of liquid crystal display, liquid crystal is a kind of special material between solid and liquid, it is an organic compound, normal is liquid, but its molecular arrangement is very rules and solid crystals, so named liquid crystal, it's another special qualities is that if applying an electric field to the LCD, can change its molecular arrangement, then if you give it with polarized light, it will have a stop light through a role (without applying an electric field, the light can be smoothly through), if combined with color filters, change to the LCD voltage size, can change a color how much the amount of light, also can change that image to light transmittance of voltage at the ends of the LCD can change it, but in practice it must be with polarizing film)\nAll along, the pursuit of more perfect visual enjoyment is the goal of our desktop display devices, reviewed the development of display technology, we can readily find it is all about the same theme - \"the pursuit of the human eye visual comfort of a better\"!\nAs a new product that has sprung up in recent years, liquid crystal displays have replaced clunky CRT displays as a mainstream display device. However, the development of liquid crystal display is not as smooth as we think. Below, we review the hard and winding road of LCD development with new and old users.\nEarly development of LCD (1986~2001) - early in the immature technology of high cost suppression, LCD was mainly used in electronic watches, calculators and other fields. The LCD is called Liquid Crystal Display, which is called Liquid Crystal Display, which is called Liquid Crystal Display.\nA liquid crystal is a substance that is almost completely transparent. Its molecular arrangement determines the path of light penetrating the liquid crystal. By the 1960s, it was discovered that charging liquid crystals would change its molecular arrangement, resulting in distorted or refraction of light, which led to the invention of liquid crystal display devices.\nThe world's first liquid crystal display device appeared in the early 1970s, known as tn-lcd (twisted into a column) liquid crystal display. Despite its monochrome display, it has been popularized in fields such as electronic watches and calculators.\nLiquid crystal is a kind of organic compounds, so under normal temperature conditions, showing both the fluidity of liquid crystal optical anisotropy, which is called \"liquid crystal\". In the electric field, magnetic field, under the influence of external conditions, such as temperature, stress, prone to rearrange its molecules, and the various optical properties changes of liquid crystal, liquid crystal the anisotropy and molecular arrangement easy under the control of the applied electric field, magnetic field. The physical basis of using the liquid crystal, namely liquid crystal \"electro optical effect\", realize optical signal modulation, thus made of liquid crystal display device. Under different current electric fields, the liquid crystal molecules will do arrange rules rotated 90 degrees, producing the difference of light transmittance, so the power ON/OFF under the difference between light and shade, each pixel according to the principle of control, can form the image.\nThe physical property of the liquid crystal is: when the power is connected, it can be arranged in order to make the light easy to pass; Arrange chaos when not energized to prevent light passing. Let the liquid crystal block or let light penetrate. Technically, the liquid crystal panel contains two fairly fine, non-sodium glass materials, called Substrates, with a layer of liquid crystals sandwiched between them. When the light beam passes through this layer of liquid crystal, the liquid crystal itself will be lined up or twisted in an irregular shape, thus blocking or allowing the beam to pass smoothly. Most liquid crystals are organic compounds composed of long-stick molecules. In a state of nature, the long shafts of these molecules are roughly parallel. The liquid crystal is poured into a well-processed grooved plane, and the liquid crystal molecules are arranged along the slot, so if the slots are very parallel, the molecules are completely parallel.\nThe composition and working principle of liquid crystal display: from the structure of LCD, whether laptop screen or desktop LCD, using the liquid crystal display screen is made up of different parts of layered structure. The liquid crystal display is composed of two boards, which are about 1mm thick, which is separated by a 5um uniform separation of liquid crystal materials. Because liquid crystal material itself does not shine, so in the screen below have tubes, as the light source in the LCD screen on the back has a back plate (or well plate) and the reflective film, back plate is composed of fluorescent material, can shoot the light, the main role is to provide uniform back light\nPrevious:LCD Display For Signal Processing Next:LCD Display Basics Description",

        "title": "Rajput Origins and Traditions",
        "raw_content": "Rajput Origins\nThe Rajputs of India are comprised of many different tribes. They were known for their valor and chivalry in battle. For centuries, they were India's line of defense against invaders. They proved their chivalry by fighting with honor and the mercy that they showed to the vanquished. When fighting against the hordes of Arabs, Moghuls, Afghans, and Turks, many preferred to die rather than to forsake their ancestors' faith (Hindu dharma) for Islam. While the nations of the Middle East fell in a matter of a few years to the rapid advance of Islam's new followers, the Rajput men and women refused to let them capture India for over 500 years. The heroism and sacrifice displayed by these tribes is undisputed in the chronicles of Indian history.\nThe concept of the Raja-putra, or \"son of a king,\" is mentioned in Vedic literature. Rajput, a shortened version of Raja-putra, is a name that has come to be associated with various tribes that woul gain political importance in a given region. Because of the fluid social structure in early medieval India, a tribe could gain or lose Rajput status based on its political importance, its occupation, and its survival or extinction. Many tribes over the course of time became extinct because of war, or relocated to another location and changed their names. Traditionally, 36 \"royal races,\" or raj-kul, were known as Rajputs. They were allegedly migrants to India from central Asia who mingled with the aboriginal tribes and were given Kshatriya, or warrior status by the priests. One of these newcomers were the Huns, commonly listed as one of the raj-kul.\nDuring the rule of the British, Lieutenant Colonel Tod visited Rajasthan and attempted to write a definitive list of the 36 Rajput tribes. However, everyone that he spoke to gave him varying lists of tribes. It can thus be concluded that a tribe that had furnished warriors or was politically dominant in a particular region can justly call itself a Rajput tribe.\nOf all the Rajput tribes, there are some that deserve special mention. First, there are the Suryavanshi (Solar) Rajputs who are said to have descended from Shri Ram Chander. Second, there are the Chandravanshi (Lunar), or Yaduvanshi Rajputs who are descendants of Shri Krishna's tribe. The most famous Chandravanshi tribe is the Bhatti tribe. There are also several Agni-kul, or tribes born of fire. Although different sources vary, the generally acknowledged Agni-kul are the Chauhans, Parmars, Chalukyas, and the Purihars. The name Chahamana was actually the original name of the Chauhans. The rest of the Rajput tribes are said to have been born of women.\nSome Rajput traditions\nThe Rajput lifestyle was designed to foster a martial spirit. The festival of Rakhi, known as Lakhri in Punjab, is typically held in August. The rakhis, or bracelets, are tied to a brother's wrist by his sisters. The belief amongst Rajputs was that the bracelets would avert evil in battle and designated those who would make a proper return from battle (Tod i.463). This festival was and is still celebrated all over India. Tod described at length the bond between the Rajputs and their swords. The double-edged scimitar known as the khanda was the favorite weapon of the Rajput. On special occasions, a primary chief would break up a meeting of his chiefs with khanda nareal, or a distribution of swords and coconuts (453). In order to attain a greater bond with one's sword, Rajputs revered their swords and conducted the ritual of Karga Shapna during the annual festival of Navratri.",

However, photographing a person evidences positive feelings toward her. If you are in a photo the dream can have the same interpretation as in MIRROR. The photograph, on the other hand, may represent your thoughts or ideas. Perhaps, it alerts you of something that requires your attention. The content of the photograph may tell you what it is. The oneiric superstition establishes that this dream warns against false hopes you may have about something. It can also mean heartbreak, especially if your image is photographed.",

        "raw_content": "Personally, I use traits from people I know and have come across to help create a character. This accentuates the realism within my story, and even more so when I add quirky ones. Because of this, many people have told me they think I am Maia. Well, I won't say whether I am or am not, because this mystery always conjures up the reader's imagination ... but, I can confirm that I do grin like crazy when I'm in trouble :)\nHere's an example from chapter 1 relating to Maia's smile:\nIn relation to Tama, some of his words and thoughts have been taken from actual real life conversations that I've heard. Yes, even the disgusting ones, which is more often than not with this character. (Tama is on the cover of Behind the Hood).\nAlso, my characters aren't black and white stereotypes. People have good traits and bad traits. There are grey areas within their personalities, because people aren't always so clear cut as you see in say Star Wars. The hero of my story, Nike, is flawed. He does things wrong, because what eighteen-year-old doesn't. He's struggling to take care of his family, and will do anything to provide for and protect them. But, his heart is in the right place and he means well.\nSo, if you want to have a chat about anything to do with characters, leave a post here. Cheers!",

        "raw_content": "In Which Justice Is Blind, Deaf, and DUMB...\n6:32 Thursday morning: Arrived at the quiet, empty lot of the elementary school. Parked, went to the door, found it locked. Pounded on door, saw large man in coveralls lumbering towards me with a mop in one hand and can of Drano in the other. Man unlocked door.\n\"Help you?\"\n\"Yeah, I have an appointment Mr. Assouline in a few minutes.\"\nWithout changing his expression, the man stood back and let me pass. Just off the main vestibule of the school was the door to administrative offices. I walked over and turned the handle just as the custodian said, \"Still locked. No one here yet.\"\nI turned. \"Not even Mr. Assouline?\" I asked.\nThe custodian shook his head. \"Not yet. I'd a known, cos I'd a hadda let him in.\"\nI sighed and took a seat--a very tiny seat--outside the office.\nAt 7, the custodian came back and unlocked the main doors. In came a woman, juggling a ring of keys. She walked by me and unlocked the office door. Then she stopped and turned to look at me. \"Are you here to see someone?\" she asked.\nWe've met before, she and I, so I reminded her that I was Thomas' dad and why I was here. She let me in. As I learned from experience joining Thomas for lunch several months back, parents were allowed in the school pretty much at their discretion, so long as they signed in at the office, which I now did. First name on the sign-in sheet.\nI sat in a larger chair in the office, but it was no more comfortable than the smaller chair.\nAt 7:30, an hour after he had agreed to meet me, The Dean of Discipline, Mr. Assouline walked in. He did his very best to focus on his mail, his keys and talking to the secretary. He obviously knew who I was, but was determined not to acknowledge my presence.\nIt was, however, impossible not to acknowledge Assouline's presence. Based on his nasally voice, I had expected a rail-thin, school-marm-strict Ichabod Crane type.\nIn fact, Mr. Assouline was HUGE. He stood well over six feet and had to duck to get through doorways. He looked like a football player, complete with very short crewcut hair and a flat, crooked nose.\nFinally, just as I was about to stand up, the secretary pointed to me and said, \"This gentleman's been waiting for you.\"\nAssouline turned and looked down at me from his great height. \"Oh,\" he said nonchalantly. \"That's right.\" He didn't say or do anything else. Didn't shake my hand. Didn't offer any explanation for making me wait. Instead, he simply looked at his watch. \"We've got first bell soon and it looks like I won't have time--\"\n\"Mr. Assouline,\" I interrupted, causing him to glower. \"My time is just as valuable as yours, and I have things that I have postponed in order to attend my meeting with you. Which was supposed to be an hour ago. I have made time for you, and I expect you to do the same. Right now, please.\"\nHe glared at me with a look that said he wanted to give me lunchtime detention for life. The secretary jumped up and whispered something about getting some coffee and coming right back.\n\"All right,\" he finally said, turning his back on me and stalking to his office.\nWhen we got there, he closed the door behind me. I sat in the chair on one side of his desk while he took his coat off and scanned his desk. In a moment he found a familiar sheet of paper and read my message silently. The message in which, you may recall, I insisted on meeting before Thomas would begin his punishment, citing a common bit of law in many states that permits parents to have more say in how their children are disciplined at school Or at least to be consulted before a judgment is rendered. That law was mostly enacted to curb the use of corporal punishment--a.k.a. \"the paddle\" which was in use in my grammar school, and probably some of yours too.\n\"Oh yes, I remember now.\" He dropped the letter. \"You know, the law that allows parents to be consulted prior to a disciplinary event only applies to infractions where a student is going to be suspended, expelled, or has committed a crime. All we're talking about here is lunchtime detention. It's punishment during school hours and you have no more right to be consulted about it than if a teacher had decided to make him stand in a corner for misbehaving.\"\n\"I don't want to start this off on the wrong foot,\" I said. \"But--and I think you'll find most parents would back me up on this--I have EVERY right to be consulted on ANY action involving my son, disciplinary or otherwise. And so here I am. What's more, I still have no intention of allowing you to punish my son for this incident until I'm convinced that your punishment is based on full knowledge of the situation.\" I took a breath. \"By the way, if Thomas didn't show up for his detention, what would your next disciplinary measure be?\"\n\"Well,\" he said, thinking a moment. \"Suspension, probably.\"\n\"Right. And that would have involved consulting me. So here I am saving you the time. You're welcome.\"\nAssouline just blinked at me for several seconds, saying nothing. Then he re-read the Disciplinary Action sheet, nodding to himself. \"You know,\" he said. \"I deal with a lot of parents who think their kids are never at fault but I personally saw your son throw the other boy to the ground.\"\n\"Throw?\" I asked. \"My son weighs 50 pounds soaking wet. This Andrew kid is twice his weight. How is it, do you think, that Thomas threw him?\"\n\"Well, all I know is, I rounded the corner and saw Thomas stick out his foot and push Andrew in the back. Andrew hit the floor, then screamed and started holding his arm, while your son stood over him. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.\"\nI frowned. Thomas had said nothing to me about pushing. I'd have to check with him on that. I've learned that when your life starts to imitate Rashomon, you remind yourself that the truth is always somewhere in the middle.\n(By the way, I know most of you didn't need a link with my Rashomon reference. I just put that in for my brother.)\nIgnoring the mention of the push, I pressed on. \"Did you ask Thomas what happened?\"\n\"Well, not right away,\" he said, a defensive edge in his voice. \"My first responsibility was to the victim. I had to help him to the nurse's office. He told me Thomas pushed him and knocked him down. When I had Thomas in my office later, I asked if he had been fighting with Andrew and he nodded his head. Said something about him picking on someone. Never said a word about the other boy being the aggressor. Pretty open and shut to me.\"\nI tried to imagine being 4 feet tall and 7 years old and standing in this leviathan's office. I didn't think I'd have the courage to stand up for myself either.\n\"Well, as I understand, this is what happened,\" I said, and I explained the story as Thomas told it, about Andrew poking Thomas' classmate Jackie, and telling the girl to get her \"fat, round face\" to the back of the line. How Thomas stood up for her, just as he had learned from the McGruff education program on handling bullies. Before I was even finished, Assouline was chuckling.\n\"Something funny?\" I asked.\nHe smirked at me. \"Parents always think their kids do no wrong. They always believe them. Were you there, Mr. M? I was. I saw what happened--\"\n\"You didn't see Andrew insult the little girl or lunge at--\"\n\"Please don't interrupt me,\" he interrupted. \"I've been a dean of discipline for 8 years and I know how these things go. Generally the one standing is the aggressor. And anyway, in this situation, it's Thomas' word against Andrew's. Given his injuries, I'd tend to side with Andrew.\"\n\"Are you done speaking?\" I asked. \"Because I don't want to interrupt.\"\nAssouline nodded in the most annoyingly magnanimous way.\n\"First, that is the weakest justification for a punishment I have ever heard. You did not witness the actual scuffle, you only saw the end. And it seems to me you favored Andrew because he was crying.\" I paused, thought of something he just said. \"By the way, what attention did you give the other victim?\"\nAssouline looked at me. \"Other?\"\n\"Jackie. The girl Andrew was bullying. The girl Thomas tried to help, as he has been taught to do so in the anti-bullying programs in this school.\"\nAssouline waved his hand like my words were annoying flies. \"Thomas said something about that, but Andrew said he never bothered her.\"\n\"Did you ask Jackie?\" I asked.\nHe frowned. \"Unfortunately, she is one of our Asian students who has not yet learned to speak English properly. I don't see how talking to her would have helped.\"\n\"What about the other kids. There were 10 others there who saw the whole thing.\"\nHe shook his head. \"You know, I don\u2019t understand why you're making such an issue of this--\"\n\"So that's a no. You didn't interview them.\"\n\"Do NOT interrupt me!\" he said, raising his voice. And there I almost lost it. But he regained his composure and added. \"This is a simple case of a little scuffle. I understand Andrew is a troublemaker and Thomas got the better of him, but that's no excuse. We have a Zero Tolerance policy for violence of any kind. He is not being suspended. He just has to eat his lunch inside and miss recess for a week.\"\n\"Well, it is an issue for Thomas. He's 7 years old. He had no idea what detention meant. He thought you were going to put him in jail--\" and here he chuckled his patronizing chuckle and, then, dear reader, I did lose it.\nI leaned across the desk and said, in my quietest voice. \"If you interrupt me with your patronizing laughter one more time, I will continue this conversation with the real principal (here his cheeks got pink) when he returns and we will do more than discuss my son's situation. We will discuss your situation.\"\n\"There's no need to make this a personal conflict,\" he said quietly.\n\"Too late,\" I snapped. \"You have unfairly punished my son and that makes it entirely personal. You made a rush judgment based on circumstantial evidence. You did not speak to any witnesses to the incident. You simply punished my son because he was the one standing, not lying on the ground crying.\"\n\"Witnesses,\" he said, smiling (but no longer laughing). \"These are 7 year olds. By the time I got back from the nurse's office, they were all at recess. I hardly expect any of them to remember what happened.\"\n\"The point is, you didn't ask. If you had, you might have learned that my son was only doing what this school taught him to do: stand up to bullies.\"\n\"Yes, stand up, but not fight them.\"\n\"The boy lunged at Thomas and tripped. Andrew was the aggressor. He poked a little girl in the chest--that's assault, by the way--and yelled in her face. Thomas told him to stop. He did the right thing.\"\nI paused, caught my breath.\n\"In my view, you have no choice but to cancel Thomas' detention,\" I said.\nWow, that really annoyed him.\n\"I will not!\" he sputtered. \"I've made my decision. I have issued paperwork on this. We have a Zero Tolerance policy on violence in the school--\"\n\"Then both boys should be punished.\"\n\"Andrew was the injured party.\"\n\"What was the school nurse's report on that?\" I asked. \"Because I understand Andrew was miraculously recovered enough to make it out to recess that day.\"\nAssouline blinked at me some more. Finally he said, \"I will not reverse my decision. As Dean of Discipline, I have to maintain my authority. If I reverse this, it will damage my position and that of other administrators and teachers in this school. Kids will think they can get away with anything.\"\nNow I chuckled and nodded.\n\"Yes?\" he asked.\n\"Nothing,\" I said. But I thought, That's all this is about. His authority being challenged. The big dink. (Actually, probably a little dink).\n\"Before I permit Thomas to attend detention--\"\n\"Oh, he has to attend!\" Assouline barked.\nI used my low voice again. I'm usually a shouter, but the low voice was working. \"My son is not going to surrender to your judgment until I am satisfied that this incident has been completely investigated. And that means talking to the girl Andrew harassed. That means talking to students who saw what happened.\"\n\"I don't think so,\" Assouline sneered, all pretense of genteel behavior dropped. \"And I don't think you understand what I'm telling you, so I'll read to you from our school handbook.\" And here he produced a familiar document and turn to the section marked \"Discipline.\"\nMonopolis Elementary had adopted a Zero Tolerance policy towards violence. Any physical violence, such as fighting, pushing or kicking with deliberate intent to harm, will be dealt with severely, including detention, suspension or expulsion.\nHe smugly put the book down and looked at me. Now--\" he began.\nI held up my hand. \"Would you please read the second paragraph?\" I asked, remembering what my neighbor, the substitute teacher had told me.\nAssouline blinked and read further:\nMonopolis Elementary also has a Zero Tolerance policy for hate speech. Any student who verbally abuses another student or teacher with hate speech--ethnic or racial slurs, or insults or derogatory comments about someone's appearance--will likewise be dealt with severely and may also include detention, suspension or expulsion.\nHe looked up and was instantly annoyed, because I was smiling. \"Your point is?\"\n\"Andrew told Jackie to get her 'fat, round face' to the back of the line.\"\nAssouline's eyes widened.\n\"I'm pretty sure calling a little girl 'fat' counts as an insult about someone's appearance. And I personally have Asian American friends who would consider it a racial slur to be called 'round face.'\"\n\"It is NOT!\" Assouline said.\nI shrugged. \"You and I are a couple of over-privileged white guys. You and I have no idea what it's like to be a minority. Whether or not the term is hate speech is a matter of perspective, which is a function of experience. And the experience of being an Asian American in this country is vastly different from the experience of being an over-privileged white guy.\"\nAssouline was totally silent. At length, he said. \"I suppose I could call the girl's parents.\"\n\"You know, Jackie speaks perfect English,\" I said. \"She's just shy. I do suggest you speak to her with her parents. And if they confirm what I've told you?'\nAssouline nodded. \"Then Andrew will have detention too.\"\nI nodded. That would do for now \"Good,\" I said. Then I paused. \"You know, I'm sorry we got argumentative in here. Obviously your authority in this school is important to you--\"\n\"--but not at the expense of hurting students. I just wanted to see that the right thing was done.\"\nAssouline didn't respond to this, but he did look at his watch.\n\"I have to go too,\" I said standing up. I stuck out my hand. \"Thank you for hearing me out and for doing the right thing.\"\nAssouline shook it, then said. \"Of course, Thomas still has to serve his detention.\"\nI dropped his hand like it was a turd. \"What?\"\nThen he smirked, the big fat shit (hey, I'm not in school. I can insult him). \"Even if what you told me is true, both boys resorted to physical violence. Andrew may have attacked, but Thomas did deliberately trip and push him, an action that led directly to his fall and injury.\"\n\"There WAS no injury. You call the school nurse--\"\nAssouline grinned triumphantly. \"Mr. M, you can't have it both ways. You've convinced me that Andrew is probably more at fault here than I first thought, but Thomas played a part too. Our anti-bullying programs, the McGruff materials the classes get, they're about supporting other kids or getting help, not doing my job and disciplining a classmate. He could have gone for a teacher. Instead, he tripped and pushed the boy.\"\nOh, you should have seen my face then. \"So self-defense is no defense in this school? Thomas should have let this boy--who is twice his size--clobber him?\"\nAssouline was resolute. \"We have a Zero--\"\n\"--Tolerance policy about violence in the school,\" I said, unable to resist interrupting him one more time. \"Yeah, I'm pretty sure you got that point across.\" I sighed. \"I'll speak to Thomas about this again, and then I'll decide whether or not he'll serve his punishment. Thanks for your time.\" Assouline opened his mouth to speak again, but we'll never know what he was going to say because I turned on my heel and walked out the door.\nOutside the school, I sat on a bench and fumed, actual steam coming out of my ears and everything. Despite the fact that I said my piece, I didn't feel like I'd achieved any kind of victory--or even mild satisfaction. I was pretty sure now that Assouline would dig a little deeper and that Andrew would end up getting some kind of punishment. But I didn't think Thomas should share that punishment.\nI passed the next few minutes lost in thought on the situation and now I kind of wish I hadn't, because buses were beginning to arrive, along with family vans and cars, disgorging kids by the dozens. No doubt shy Jackie and her parents had dropped her off while I was sitting there and if I'd been more attentive, I might have caught them.\nInstead, I didn't even really notice the buses, until a familiar one stopped almost in front of me and out popped Thomas.\n\"Dad,\" he said, looking at me, mildly surprised. \"Did you talk to the new principal?\"\n\"He's not the new principal. He's just an assistant principal, helping out til the real one comes back. Listen,\" I said, looking him in the eye. \"He told me that when Andrew fell, he tripped on your foot and you also pushed him. Did you? You can tell me the truth. I won't be mad.\"\nThomas made a face as he thought back. \"Well, I tripped him, and he tried to grab me, so I did push his arm away. That's when he fell.\"\nI sighed. \"Well, tripping and pushing IS sort of fighting, you know. Even though you were defending yourself.\"\nThomas slumped on the bench next to me. \"So I'm still in trouble.\"\n\"Yes. Mr. Assouline says he's going to talk to some kids and Jackie's parents and it looks like Andrew will get in trouble too. But you'll still have to do the recess detention.\"\nThomas sat on the bench next to me. \"It's SO not fair. I was helping Jackie and then Andrew tried to push me. I got in trouble for helping.\" He kicked his bookbag. \"McGruff is a DUMB dog! I'm NEVER helping anyone again!\"\nOh shit, I thought. It was still too early in the morning for me to be thinking clearly, but if ever I needed a wise, Ward Cleaver, TV dad moment, this was it.\n\"You know,\" I said, trying to sound philosophical. \"There's a saying that doing good is its own reward. Do you understand what that means?\"\n\"No,\" he said glumly.\n\"It means that you should be proud of yourself and even when you're stuck inside next week at detention. You should remind yourself that you did the right thing. I know it. You know it. Jackie knows it. I bet a lot of your friends in class do too. All the people who matter know it.\"\nThomas was still kicking his book bag. \"I guess,\" he said. Oh boy. I was really pulling down the curve on the Ward Cleaver scale now.\nI shook my head. \"Yeah, that didn't sound so great to me either when I got in trouble and Grandma said the same thing.\" Thomas looked at me with curiosity then. I shook my head again. \"You can ask Grandma when you get home. She'll tell you ALL about it.\"\nI put my arm around Thomas. \"Listen, I know this is unfair. Sometimes things don't go our way. But you can't let that stop you from doing what you know is right. Lots of people help others and they never get credit for it. Sometimes they even get in trouble for it. Like...\" Shit, I thought, like who?\nI snapped my fingers. \"Like Batman.\"\nThomas gave me the \"dumb Dad\" look. \"Batman's in the Justice League and a super-hero.\"\n\"Sure. Now he is. But when he first started, he was an outlaw. The police chased him and everything.\"\nMore a student of cartoons than of comics, Thomas looked at me in frank disbelief. \"No way! Even though he helped people?\"\n\"Oh yeah. Spider-Man too. A lot of good guys got in trouble for doing the right thing.\"\nI let Thomas mull this over for a second. Then I said, \"What do you think would happen if they decided, 'Well, I'm not helping anyone ever again!' back when they were just starting out?\"\nThomas shrugged. Either he was still mulling it over or my Dad stock was in total freefall.\nIt didn't matter either way because just then, first bell rang. Thomas jumped up.\n\"I'll talk to you tonight,\" I said.\n\"Okay,\" Thomas said, still subdued. He started to walk away, then came back and hugged me.\n(Now, don't get teary on me: It wasn't one of those TV-moment hugs. He always hugs me before he leaves for school. But I will die a little when he becomes too old to hug his dad in front of people, and THEN you can all get teary.)\nI gave him one of those gruff dad hugs and whispered one more time. \"I am SO proud of you for doing the right thing. I love you.\"\nBut just then, Thomas stood back from me, became rigid. Oh shit, I said something stupid and I don't even know what it was! I thought.\nBut Thomas wasn't even looking at me. He was staring straight into the throng of kids bustling through the door. Near the door, a boy was standing to one side. He towered above the rest and he stood there, smirking at Thomas, whose face had become like a piece of stone. He mouthed something at my son then turned to go in.\n\"ANDREW!\" I shouted, figuring it couldn't be anyone else. The kid stopped and looked at me as I stood up and walked to him. Thomas trailed behind me, his curiosity getting the better of him. Andrew eyed me suspiciously in my jacket and slacks, and I could see he was trying to work out who I was. A new teacher? Undercover cop? Who?\nThe boy was exactly Thomas' height but definitely a big boy. I'd have mistaken him for a third grader. He squinted at me, wrinkling his piggo nose at me. \"What?\" he demanded. \"Who are you?\"\nI squatted down in front of him and spoke in the same low voice I used on Assouline. \"I'm Thomas' dad. You remember me from when I came in to class when Thomas was star of the week.\"\nHe just stared at me with an expression that had \"future wife beater\" written all over it. \"So?\" he said.\n\"So,\" I continued in my low voice, but smiling as I spoke. \"I just spoke to Mr. Assouline. And I know ALL about YOU picking on Jackie. And I know that YOU started the fight with Thomas. And I know YOU didn't hurt your arm at all. And if you think you got away with it, you've got another think coming.\"\nI had his full attention now. He looked straight at me with those wife-beater eyes, and it occurred to me that I would never have had the balls to stand up to this kid when I was 7.\n\"One more thing,\" I said, still speaking low, still smiling. \"If you ever try to hit or push or kick or throw rocks or do anything to hurt Thomas or his friends, he has my permission to knock you on the ground again. You hear me?\"\nYeah, no Ward Cleaver awards for me. Still, a certain coldness had left Andrew's wife-beater eyes then and I was satisfied to see it. Thomas just stared at me with a kind of surprised smile.\n\"Go! Both of you!\" I said, standing up. \"Get to class!\"\nAnd like that, they disappeared into the river of children flowing through the doors.\nSo, that's what happened yesterday. Not much of a victory, huh?\nBut it's a long time til Monday. And I'm not done yet...\nIn Which McGruff Takes A Bite Out of My Ass...\nSo I came home from work to find only the Brownie and Blaze down in the family room, watching TV.\n\"Where's Thomas?\" I ask.\nHLS gives me a look of disgust. \"He's up in his room. Went there right after he got off the bus and won't talk to me.\" Then she gave me The Look. The ones that says I have to go up and pry it out of him.\nThough he is only 7, sometimes Thomas has the reticence of a teenager. Ask him about his day, and his stock answer is, \"Nuthin.\" Unless he's been to art class or done something fun in computer class. Sometimes he has a bad day at school, but when he does he usually sulks in a very public way until we finally ask him what's wrong, and then we find out that Luis got the Good Markers in art class and wouldn't share or that Caitlin played with the girls and not him and anyway they were playing a girl game and he didn't want to play, so hmmph.\nBut he never goes up to his room.\nI climbed the stairs and opened the door to Thomas' room and found him hiding under his Justice League comforter. I tried to pull it off but he kept pulling it back over.\n\"Okay,\" I said. \"I just came to talk to see if something's wrong and find out if I could help, but if you don't want to...\" I turned for the door.\n\"If I tell, you'll be MAD at me!\" he said, suddenly throwing the comforter off.\n\"Why would I be mad?\" I asked, turning back.\nThomas was silent for a long time, then he pulled a slip of paper out of his bookbag (also hidden under the comforter with him) and handed it to me.\nIt a piece of standard size paper, emblazoned at the top with the words:\nAlan Assouline\nThomas' Elementary School\n[Then the rest of the paper was a form filled in with very tightly compacted handwriting. The parenthetical text is what was filled in:]\nName of student: (Thomas)\nPrimary Teacher: (Mrs. Dodd. Mrs. Tinkle substituting currently)\nDisciplinary infraction: (The Dean of Discipline personally witnessed Thomas fighting with another child while waiting in line to go to lunch. The fight resulted in the injury of another student.)\nDisciplinary action: (In accordence [sic] with our Zero Tolerance policy for ANY violence among students of any age, Thomas has been given detention during the lunch and recess period every day. Disciplinary action to begin on Monday, next week, and to continue for the full week.)\nWARNING: Future infractions of our Zero Tolerance policy may result in the suspension or expulsion of children OF ANY GRADE from this school.\nIf parents have any questions or wish to request a meeting, they may call 555-1212 to schedule an appointment.\n(A. Assouline)\nI read the letter through a couple of times. Something about it bugged me instantly, and I'm not talking about the normal parental reaction to leap to your kid's defense. There was something else, something I couldn't put my finger on. I mulled this over as I examined the notice. There was a place on the back for a parent to sign, confirming receipt of the note. Thomas sat there in his bed, watching me carefully, tense as a bowstring.\n\"Are you mad?\" he asked.\n\"No,\" I said. \"If you really did something wrong, it looks like you're already going to be punished.\"\nThen Thomas started bawling. \"I know. What's detention, Dad?\" he said between sobs. \"Are they going to put me in jail?\" Well, he may be 7, but he's still my l'il guy, and I grabbed him and sat him on my lap and hugged him while he wiped tears and boogers on my dress shirt.\nBut at that moment, I realized what annoyed me about the letter: It wasn't just the formal language--like it was a police report--it was that it exuded an excessive amount of authority. I mean, honestly, does an elementary school really need someone who not only calls himself \"Dean of Discipline\" but who refers to himself in the third person, using that title in a report he made out himself? And \"detention\"? For a first grader?\n\"Detention is just a scary word that means you have to stay inside during lunch and recess,\" I finally answered, when Thomas had pulled himself together. \"You'll probably have to sit in the school office or your classroom. And you can't go to recess for a week.\"\nThomas managed to look both glum and relieved at this news. \"It's still not fair!\" he said, tears hot on his cheeks as he smacked the bed with his fist. \"Andrew didn't get in trouble at all and he started it.\"\nAh, Andrew. I knew about this kid, the class bully. He's one of the oldest in the class (actually so is Thomas) so he's much bigger than most of the kids. He's the same height as Thomas, but outweighs him by a good, oh, 20 or 60 or 100 pounds. He's a husky boy. And he knows it. It's his prime tool of intimidation. Thomas had some problems with him almost from his first day of school. He would take other kids' toys, or throw rocks and sticks at them. And he always managed to escape the notice of teachers. Naturally, he ended up in Thomas' class, proof again that if it weren't for bad luck, my family would have no luck at all. But it was also a good thing, because Mrs. Dodd has got Andrew's number and knows what kind of crap he pulls.\nExcept...Mrs. Dodd was out, I realized. And the hapless substitute, Mrs. Tinkle, probably had no idea what a junior asshole this kid was.\nIn the first few weeks of school, Thomas had some problems with him until Andrew threw one rock too many and Thomas winged it back at him, narrowly missing his head. Not missing a beat, he said, \"Stop throwing rocks or next time I'll hit you in your big piggo face!\" Andrew stopped throwing rocks. At Thomas anyway. But he still bullied other kids, kids who weren't as tall as he was.\n\"Maybe you better tell me what really happened,\" I said.\n\"It's like the new principal says. I was fighting with Andrew,\" Thomas said glumly. And I thought, New principal? But then I remembered Her Lovely Self telling me the principal was out of town too, at some conference. Obviously the vice prin--excuse me, Dean of Discipline--was left hold the reins.\n\"Tell me how it happened,\" I said. \"Tell it like you tell me stuff when we do your blog.\"\nThomas sat silently for a minute, his face still red with shame. Finally he spoke.\n\"Well,\" he said. \"We were in line for lunch. And Mrs. Dodd was gone but she left a list for Mrs. Tinkle about who the line leaders were. And Jackie was line leader.\" Jackie, by the way, is a shy girl, not much of a talker. She also happens to be Asian American and is just a little on the husky side herself. It's just a point we might come back to later, so bear it in mind.\n\"So then,\" Thomas continued, \"Jackie got in front, but Mrs. Tinkle didn't use the line leader list Mrs. Dodd left. So when she sent us to lunch, Andrew got up in front and poked Jackie and said, 'Get your fat, round face back at the end of the line!' And stuff like that. He was saying all these really mean things to her.\"\n\"So then you fought him,\" I said.\n\"No!\" Thomas insisted. \"I wanted to help her. When we had McGruff at school, he told us about stopping bullies and I tried to do that.\"\nAhh, McGruff, I remember him well from my own youth. The charmless anthropomorphic dog in the trenchcoat, always entreating kids to \"take a bite out of crime.\" More recently, he's been part of an education program through schools and public-service announcements on TV, to help kids deal with bullies.\n\"You're supposed to all go up and get around the person being bullied and be her friend and tell her to come with you. Or tell the bully to leave her alone. So I did that.\" Thomas explained. \"But no one else did. It was just me. And I said, 'Leave her alone. She's the line leader.' And he said 'Make me!' and then he jumped at me.\"\nI pursed my lips. Here came the fighting. \"What did you do?\"\nThomas forgot himself for a moment and got excited. \"I didn't fight him, Dad. He just came to me and--ZOOM--I zipped away one way, except for my foot. He went right by me and tripped on my foot and fell on his arm and started crying that I broke it.\" Then Thomas recovered himself. \"That's what the new principal saw when he came around the corner. And Andrew didn't even break his arm. He was out at recess later.\"\n\"So let me get this straight,\" I said. \"You stood up to a bully who was being mean to a girl. You did it just like you learned in school. The bully attacked you first, but tripped and fell. And you got in trouble?\"\nThomas nodded.\nI was flabbergasted. \"Didn't the...\" I looked at the paper again for the guy's name. \"Didn't you tell Mr. Assouline what happened?\"\nThomas shook his head. \"He just took Andrew to the nurse. And then later I had to go to his office and he said I had detention and I had to take a trouble note home to you and Mom.\"\n\"Did he talk to any of the other kids? Didn't Jackie tell him what happened?\"\nThomas shook his head. \"Jackie doesn't like to talk.\"\n\"And that's it. That's everything that happened?\"\n\"Yeah,\" Thomas said. He looked up at me again. \"You're not mad?\" he asked with a searching look that broke my heart.\n\"Mad?\" I said. \"Oh you bet I'm mad.\" Thomas cringed at this for a second before I continued. \"I'm mad at THIS guy!\" I said, shaking the paper. \"They teach you this McGruff stuff in school and when you try to do what they teach you, you get in trouble? That's ridiculous! And Andrew didn't get in trouble at all?\"\nThomas shook his head. \"He pretended like his arm hurt, but he was throwing a football at recess later.\" He looked at me again seriously. \"You're mad at the principal? Are you allowed?\"\n\"I don't care if I'm allowed or not,\" I said scribbling on the back of the sheet.\nThomas looked. \"I have to bring that back to him once you and Mom sign it.\"\n\"We're not going to bother Mom with this at all,\" I said, as I finished scribbling and handed the paper back to Thomas. \"You give this to Mr. Assouline tomorrow.\" Thomas stuck it in his book bag and already seemed visibly relieved that he wasn't in trouble both at home and at school. In fact, he seemed to be in a state of total disbelief. \"I thought you would be really mad because I was fighting,\" he said.\nI shook my head. \"First, I'm VERY proud of you for helping Jackie. No one else stood up for her. But you did. That's what Good Guys do (Thomas sat up a little at this. He's pro-Good Guy). Second, Andrew started it. He called the girl names and then he tried to jump on you. All you did was move out of the way. Not your fault he tripped.\"\nHere, Thomas hung his head. \"Actually, I kinda let my foot stick out, like Batman does when the bad guys come at him. I just didn't think he would fall over and cry.\"\nI shook my head. \"It doesn't matter. It was self-defense. I don't think you did anything wrong. And I certainly don't think you deserve detention.\"\n\"Really?\" Thomas asked. \"Do I still have to go?\"\n\"We'll see,\" I said. \"It all depends on what Mr. Assouline does when he sees the note.\"\nBecause, of course, I hadn't signed my name on it at all. Instead, I had written:\nThomas' father formally appeals the judgment of the Dean of Discipline, and requests a meeting as soon as possible (and here I listed every phone number and email by which I can be reached). Until a meeting can be scheduled, Thomas' father refuses to permit Thomas to attend detention or be subjected to punishment of any kind in relation to this alleged incident. Failure to comply with this request will constitute a violation of the State School Law, which allows parents to consult and appeal all disciplinary judgments. Thomas' father awaits a call at the Dean of Discipline's earliest convenience.\nOr, roughly translated from the formalized speech:\nMr. Dean of Discipline, you just opened a serious can of whup-ass...\nIn Which God Starts Dealing Jokers Again...\n1. Which seems more unlikely to you: that someone could have dehydration AND pneumonia at the same time, or that someone could set his snowblower--and himself--on fire in the middle of a snow storm?\n2. If winter clothing is insulated, does that mean it can keep heat out as well as cold?\n3. In the Bible, God often uses fire and flame to make a point or get someone's attention. If MM's life were a Biblical story, what point do you think God would be trying to make by setting MM on fire instead of, say, a nearby bush?\nThomas was still shouting and although I was a little distracted and wasn't paying attention--my becoming the Human Marshmallow may have had something to do with it--I'm betting he was shouting what I was thinking at that very moment. You know what it was. Many of you shouted it from comments yesterday.\nAll together now: Stop, drop and roll.\nI did the world's most ungainly belly-flop into the yard, and rolled across it. The hissing sound was almost instantaneous. I rolled and rolled and rolled, not only until I was sure the fire was out, but also far enough to end up in my neighbor's yard. Two houses down.\nI lay there for a moment, flat on my back, watching steam from the melted snow rising from between my legs (at least, I hoped it was steam from the melted snow). My gloves still had small glowing pockets and I could see little holes eroding slowly into the gloves, deeper ito the gasoline-saturated material. I shook them off and lay there panting, trying to decide if any part of my body felt like it was, you know, combusting.\nBut before I could decide this, something hit me in the face with a cold, wet FWAP! And suddenly I was snowblind. The FWAPing continued as I was beat mercilessly about the head, chest and legs--FWAP! FWAP! FWAP! FWAP! I waved my arms blindly, feebly and cried through a mouthful of snow. What the hell was going on?\n\"Put him out! Put him out! Get more snow! Is he out?\" I heard Thomas shouting.\n\"Stop! Stop!\" I said, half shouting, half-begging. I wiped snow from my glasses--my tinted goggles gone in the long roll across my neighbors' yards. The goggles may not have kept up with me, but my kids had. There they stood, toy shovels loaded with snow, hovering inches from my body.\n\"Are you unstinguished, Daddy?\" the Brownie asked, her voice in an urgent and worried tone I haven't heard from her in ages.\nI nodded. But just to be safe, I grabbed her shovel and smacked the one pantleg that still seemed to be steaming. Once I was satisfied that nothing on me was actually smoldering, I remembered the fiery snowblower and flaming cement driveway was somewhere behind us. I jumped up and looked around.\nI needn't have worried. Two doors up, at my house, the driveway no longer had flaming trails on it. And the snowblower was fine. It didn't even have so much as a singe on the paint job.\nWell, as you can guess, the fuel line had a leak in it, which spilled my 3/4 tank of gas onto the garage floor, exactly where I ended up sitting when I lost my balance. When I filled the tank again and started it up, the gas slowly trickled down the bottom of the blower, onto the wheels and then onto the driveway while I worked. All we needed was a stray spark and, as you may recall, when I'm running the blower on less than an inch of snow, the edge makes lots of sparks on the driveway.\nWhen Thomas and the Brownie saw me turn around, they swore there was a circle of flame behind me, following the exact track of the wheels, and then hitting my gas-soaked snow pants.\n\"I never knew anyone who caught on fire before,\" Thomas said, examining my pants and gloves. \"Did it hurt?\"\nThankfully, no. Turns out the insulated snow pants did protect me. The jeans I was wearing underneath them didn't even have so much as a singe. And I got my gloves off before the fire burned holes all the way through them. So I guess we all know the answer to question #2.\nAfterwards, when the excitement was over and the fuel line was repaired and every possible area where gas could be sitting had been soaked up or hosed down, we all sat down over hot chocolate and regaled Her Lovely Self with our latest adventure (with heavy emphasis on the quick thinking of Thomas and the Brownie in trying to put Daddy out, and a brief glossing over of the details of how Daddy actually managed to set himself alight in the first place).\nShe's still not feeling so well, and I wasn't sure whether the story would amuse or upset her, but there was no hiding it. I mean, LOOK at my pants.\nIn the end, she smiled and praised her two wonderful, brilliant children and gave me, her beloved idiot, a squeeze of her hand. I held it in my own and squeezed back, and thought about question #3.\nI don't ponder much on the force or forces that shape my life, but when I do, I like to imagine that Fate, Destiny, Good Luck, Bad Luck, Karma, they're all cards in one big deck that gets dealt to me, one card a week til the deck is gone. Then the deck gets shuffled and re-dealt to me, over and over. And God, I guess, is the dealer.\n(Yeah, I know, not the most original of analogies. Everyone does the deck-of-cards-equals-life analogy. So maybe Fate, Destiny, etc. are like different props in a box on a stage and my life is one big improv show and--\nNo, never mind. Let's stick with the cards. I've had a long few weeks.)\nSometimes I get cards I don't want--not ever. But most of the time, I think God deals me Jokers and gives me a life that's fun and odd and wacky to live. And with it, he also gives me an urge to share that life with others. I wanted to stop doing that for a while, but clearly that wasn't in the cards. I think the Almighty just wanted to remind me of that.\nAnd to light a fire under my ass to get me moving in the right direction.\nSo here I am again.\nIn Which Messages Come In Tongues of Flame...\nAnd then the weekend landed, as I had imagined it would, with an awful thump.\nNo job to distract myself with. Forty-eight whole hours to sit around and fritter my sanity away, obsessing about things I can't stop or help or save or fix.\nSuch were my thoughts as I went to bed Friday night and woke up, a scant 6 hours later to discover that, in fact, the weekend had not arrived with an awful thump so much as a wet smack.\n\"Dad!\" Thomas yelled in my face (he assumes everyone is deaf when they're in a sound sleep). \"It's snowing!\"\nI don't know what the weekend was supposed to be like in your neck of the woods, but ours most definitely was not supposed to include snow. Mostly sunny. Highs in the 50s. A few clouds. Maybe some wind. Not precipitation. Not frozen, white, winter precipitation.\nI opened the window shades. Big, fat, heavy, wet flakes everywhere in the sky. And more than a few on the ground.\nHer Lovely Self stared despondently out the window. \"I was going to maybe start clearing out the garden,\" she sighed. Like me, she's been trying to lose herself in work.\nI looked down the street to see one of my neighbors struggling with a snow shovel. From the growing pile of snow he was pushing across his driveway, it looked like we might have an inch or so on the ground.\n\"Where is this coming from?\" I asked no one in particular. Then, ever my father's son, I consulted the great meteorological oracle, The Weather Channel. And I sat there, glancing from the small TV screen in our bedroom to the windows and back to the TV again. In a moment, the Local on the 8s came up, and there was that chipper little sun partially hidden behind the tiniest of clouds. No snowflake icons. None. Then a list of nearby cities popped up and every one of them was reporting temperatures already in the 40s--and this at 6:45 in the morning. Whose weather were we getting?\nOne of those useless radar maps popped up on screen just then, showing me color-coded precipitation sweeping across a portion of the state. There was nothing--except for the smallest two or three pixel-wide blip of color. Then it was gone. Was that our snowstorm?\nGrowing up in New Hampshire, you came to expect snow flurries, oh, pretty much every day from about Halloween til Easter (or sometimes Memorial Day). Snow was such a common event, it was rarely mentioned as part of the normal forecast. It was the meteorological equivalent of the silent \"e.\" An anticipated foot of snow was worth mentioning--briefly--on the weather report. A blizzard promising whiteout condition usually got a few seconds of airtime. But not always. You learned not to be thrown by the occasional surprise Nor'easter.\nClearly I'd been away from home too long, to be flummoxed by flurries so quickly.\nBy the time I had my first cup of coffee, I had recovered from my state of stupefaction. And as I watched the flakes fall (slightly less heavily now, it seemed to me) I could also see some of that promised sun, creeping up over my neighbors' rooftops. With any luck, it actually would get into the 50s today and melt all the snow off.\nBut then I remembered: the snowblower.\nI got it last year just before cold season, a cunning little red job with a shiny black corkscrew of snow-throwing power mounted in front. I grant you: It was not as impressive as the giant black monster blower my dad had when I was a kid. That blower was as large as our Volkwagen and had 400 times the horsepower. It sent snow flying in a great white arc over the roof of our house. It could turn saplings to mulch if you strayed too close to the trees.\nNo indeed, my blower was not so mighty a machine. It was, however, definitely a step up from the mincing little electric snow shovel I had before, and which only moved the fluffiest of snow (and even then turned it into frozen mist that was blown back upon me).\nAlas, as soon as I got the blower, that more or less assured us of a fairly mild winter. Now here it was--spring for Pete's sake--and I'd used my blower only three times.\nSo yeah, this freak snowstorm would probably be reduced to so many puddles in a few hours, but I got it in my head I ought to run the snow blower anyway. Wasn't as though I'd have many more opportunities this year. Plus, I needed something to do. Something that took my mind of things, yet didn't involve, you know, really hard work. Like shoveling an inch of heavy wet snow.\nInstead, I set the Brownie and Thomas to do that, and they were only too happy to be out in the surprise snowfall. They ran off with their little kids' plastic shovels and proceeded to shovel the hell out of the porch and front walk. That they also occasionally shoveled away some sodden dirt from the front bed of Her Lovely Self's garden was an unfortunate, but acceptable occupational hazard.\nMeanwhile, my heart quickened in anticipation as I strode to my snow blower. As I said, I've run it exactly three times since I got it. The first time was when I brought it home and cranked it up to make sure it worked.\nThe second time was when we got a meager dusting and I amused my neighbors by raising sparks off the mostly bare driveway while my snowblower sprayed the merest mist of snow like a giant sneeze across the yard (after that one, I was advised by many neighbors that I should probably save the snowblower for accumulations of more than half an inch).\nThe last time was when the wind was just right and I actually had drifts of up to three whole inches in my driveway. That was a fine day. Or rather, a fine 10 minutes, which, okay, was not fine so much as a bit anticlimactic. After all it took me longer to dress than to run the blower. I don't do things half-way, you know: I was in my full winter togs--layers of long underwear and sweatshirts and insulated pants under snowpants, plus a parka and a hat and one of those masky, hoody things whose name sounds like a Greek pastry. You know the one I mean. And last of all, I wore my final touch--my tinted ski goggles (If you're laughing, it's because you either own a pair of glasses OR a snow blower, but not both. Because if you did own both, you wouldn't laugh at my tinted ski goggles).\nBut that seemed so long ago now. Since then, the snowblower has been sitting in the garage with 3/4 of a tank of gas, just waiting for another chance to get out there and do its thing.\nAnd here we were, already in spring, getting almost certainly the last snow of the year. And, I realized, as I stepped outside in my snowblower's costume (yes, including the goggles), the accumulation was actually barely an inch. Okay, a little less than that even.\nWell, I didn't care if I was going to put on a light show for my neighbors. I'd just gotten over pneumonia and the snow was kind of heavy (mostly because it was already melting to slush), so why not let the snow blower take care of it, even if it meant throwing a few sparks? And if my neighbors made some smart remark, I'd just think of something even more cutting to say.\nBalaclava. That's the masky hoody thing I was thinking of.\nAnyway, there I was, in my winter togs, the kids already out and making a snowy wreckage of the front entrance. I moved the blower to the garage doorway, opened the choke, pumped the primer, pulled the start...\nI hunkered down and checked the spark plug. Unaccustomed to weight of by winter clothes while in the hunkered position, I lost my balance, slipped back and landed on my butt on wet floor of the garage. While I was down there, I was more or less eye level with other essential doodads on the blowers, so I checked them, stood up, brushed myself off, pulled again...\nFinally I did the obvious: opened the gas cap. The tank was bone-dry. What the hell? I may not be able to remember what a balaclava is, but I sure remembered I had more than half a tank of gas in here.\nI sighed and grabbed the gas can from the shelf where I keep it. As I poured more gas in, it occurred to me that Her Lovely Self might have cranked it up and taken it for a spin, just to see what it was like. She's grown rather fond of gas-powered machinery, ever since she got her own little roto-tiller last summer. I'd ask her later.\nThe tank filled once more, I pumped the primer again, pulled the cord and she started up like a dream.\nGod, I love snowblowing. I don't know why I didn't get one of these sooner. So easy on your back (especially if you have a bad one, like me), and it's such a contemplative act, much like mowing the lawn. You're in your cocoon of sound and you almost enter a meditative state, watching the machine throw heaps of snow (okay, not heaps, but clumps at least), clearing the driveway. I found myself slipping into the zone, where everything on my mind slowly melted away. It was nice to set my burdens aside for the moment.\nAs I made my first short pass in front of the garage, I whirled the blower around and now was pointed towards the front door. The kids were alternately throwing snow at each other and eating it. The Brownie looked up at me, snow in her mouth and waved. I waved back.\nThen the Brownie was frozen in mid-wave, her mouth open so wide, the snow fell out. She tugged at her brother's sleeve. He turned, glanced at me, turned back to his job, then did a double take and started shouting.\n\"Hi!\" I hollered. But the snowblower engine was very loud and we couldn't hear each other.\nAt that moment, I realized the snowblower engine wasn't just loud. It was smelly, like something was going bad inside. Was there enough oil in there? What the heck?\nAnd then I looked down and saw something odd. The snowblower looked kind of...wavy.\nThat's when I took off my tinted ski goggles and realized the snowblower wasn't wavy.\nIt was on fire. That was the wavy part.\nI shut the thing down instantly, beating the flames with my gloves. My first thought was that I'd spilled a little excess gas on the exterior and something must have ignited it. Something like sparks on a partially bare driveway.\nThe weird thing was, the fire wasn't going out. In fact, now my gloves were on fire.\nAnd then I heard what Thomas was shouting, just to clarify things: \"DAD! YOU'RE ON FIRE!\"\nHe wasn't talking about my gloves either. I looked all around me, stopping half-turned to look at my own backside. I looked exactly like that little girl from the old Coppertone ads. Except instead of being a little girl in a bathing suit, I was a sweaty 37-year-old man in 3 layers of winter clothing. Instead of having a sunburn, I was being actually burned. And instead of having some rakish dog yanking on the bottom of my bathing suit, I had flames--genuine flames, on the cement behind me, running straight up the back of my snowpants and licking my ass.\nBut besides that, yeah, exactly like that Coppertone kid...\nYou have no idea how much I don't want to write the next few sentences.\nYesterday, Her Lovely Self went for a second blood test, just a few days after the first one. It showed her hormone levels were going down. Down is bad, but we'd seen this before. It happened with Thomas.\nLast night, she started spotting. This morning, spotting turned to serious bleeding. Bleeding is bad, but we'd seen this before. It happened with Thomas.\nToday, she had an emergency ultrasound. We had to have an emergency ultrasound with Thomas at roughly the same point in his first trimester and got a perfect view of this tiny little Cheeto of a baby with a pulsing dot in the center--Thomas' Tic-Tac of a heart, just starting to beat. And we knew everything was going to be okay.\nToday, the ultrasound showed...nothing. A total absence of anything babylike. That nothingness was one of the worst things I've ever seen.\nAnd just like that, we're not having a baby anymore.\nThe doctors, being doctors, are already shifting their attention to Her Lovely Self. Now come the uncomfortable tests and examinations and determinations to decide if everything has passed on its own or if HLS requires a D&C. But we're still back a step or 12, staring at that awful vision of nothingness.\nI probably shouldn't be writing this in my moment of shock, any more than I should have written--prematurely as it turned out--about the pregnancy in my moment of excitement. I feel like a combination of a Jinx and the Boy Who Cried Wolf.\nThere are so many different ways to feel awful right now, I can't even pick a direction.\nThis was not an anticipated pregnancy, by the way, and when faced with the unanticipated, Her Lovely Self tends to freak out. I feel awful for spending so much time talking this up, reminding her how great it is to have a baby, gradually helping her to see the bright side, essentially setting her up for the greatest of letdowns.\nI feel awful for having convinced myself that everything was hunky-dory despite some obvious danger signs.\nI feel awful for having got all of you as worked up and happy as I was (I'm so tempted to delete that post. I can hardly bear to look at it. And yet, how can I delete all your accompanying outpourings of love and good will? And so it will remain).\nFor a time, I even felt awful for feeling awful. On the drive home, Her Lovely Self, almost dazedly, was already talking about every pregnancy horror story we'd heard of among our friends and family: the sister who miscarried twice before finally delivering her only son prematurely and nearly dying herself in the process; the friend who endured a stunning 12 miscarriages before finally deciding to adopt; the coworker whose full-term baby was delivered stillborn, the umbilical cord having strangled him. It was almost unbearable to talk about, but it was my wife's way of trying to cope, to remind herself how much worse things could have been.\nAt first, I felt as she did, thinking I had no right to feel so bad when we have, for the most part, been so lucky. But I can't do that. I can't minimize this. Each pregnancy is distinctive and unique. And each pregnancy's untimely ending--whether at 8 weeks or 8 months--is distinctively, uniquely painful. I would never presume to compare my sorrow and pain to someone else's. Theirs is theirs and mine is mine.\nAnd mine is pretty bad right now.\nThey say depression is not always triggered by one big event, but by an accumulation of smaller ones. Burying a beloved relative. Missing out on a long-anticipated vacation. An unexpected hospital stay. A lost child, even though that child was lost somewhere between 5 and 7 weeks, its Tic-Tac heart probably never even beginning to pulse. That pretty much sums up my past two months. I'm usually a pretty upbeat guy. I can usually find a bright spot in the darkness. I can usually summon a joke, a smart-ass remark, a funny story, to help dig out of whatever hole I find myself in. But the stone on my heart is too heavy and I don't have the strength to shift it right now.\nSo I'm sure you'll understand if I don't post here for the next little while. Life just doesn't seem that fun to write about. Not now. Not yet.\nPhysically, Her Lovely Self is out danger, but emotionally she's going to have her good days and bad days, good hours and bad hours. But she's already told that this is it. We're done having children. Which is also her way of coping. She may change her mind later. She often does, and I hope she will.\nWhen I was little and a neighbor lost her baby, I remember asking my mom what the big deal was. I had it in my head that every baby ever to be born was just lined up in heaven like commuters at a bus stop, or amusement-park goers waiting their turn for the next bumper car. To me, that mysterious lump in the tummy was just a bus, a bumper car, a ride waiting for the rider. If the baby missed his or her ride, he or she just waited for the next one to come along, and when it did the baby jumped for it. I assumed our neighbor would still get the same baby she was meant to have; it just missed this ride and would have to catch another one later. It was a child's way of trying to answer an unknowable mystery, ridiculously innocent and naive.\nPart of me wants desperately to be that little kid again.\nAnd the rest of me just wants our little Cheeto of a baby back.\nSo. If you read the previous post, you know about my concerns as regards the health of Her Lovely Self and the flare-up of her Crohn's disease.\nWell, after white-knuckled visits to two specialists Friday, we found out why she's been feeling sick.\nI was wrong: It's not Crohn's.\nBut I was right to blame myself. I'm what the doctors would call a contributing factor.\nI'm having trouble articulating this, so you know it's serious, but maybe this will explain it better (apologies for the poor quality).\nTalk about a plot twist, huh?\nBy now you know that both Her Lovely Self and I tend to regard our health conditions with a certain amount of denial. Which means that we can't yet bring ourselves to really talk about it. Not to each other. Not to our families.\n(Incidentally, Big Brother is out of town on some management thingamabob, and he's the only member of the family who reads this thing with any regularity, which means he won't even see this for another week or two.)\nSo mark this well: Those few of you who read this and actually know Her Lovely Self well enough to call or send her some kind of correspondence, I BEG YOU to refrain from doing so for now. I'll tell you when the time is right. We're surprisingly superstitious, and I'm afraid making a deal of this too soon will somehow bring bad luck upon us. So I thank you in advance for your kind restraint.\n(Comments, of course, are always welcome, and would of course be relayed to HLS at a later date. No, she really doesn't read the blog these days. Or even use the computer. Scrolling makes her nauseous. Go figure).\nHaving said all that, when something like this happened before, we made one tiny little pact: We both agreed that, to prevent our heads from exploding, we would each only tell ONE PERSON who we could trust to be discreet.\nShe chose her best friend from childhood, whose happens to be a nurse.\nI decided to tell, um, the blog.\nWhich I guess is cheating. But I can't help it. You were the first ones I thought of.\nIn return for your discretion, I promise regular updates for the next 7 months. There's blood tests next week, and HLS still has some abdominal pain which, while a source of some concern, is not entirely unusual for her.\nThanks for all your kind support and good wishes--by comments and email--after my last post. We still need them.\nThough obviously for very different reasons now.\nWho was it said \"these things come in threes\"?\nWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!\nFrom Somewhere on Cloud 9\nIn Which The Bill Comes Due...\nWow, time sure can fly when you're sick.\nHard to believe it was two weeks ago yesterday that I was admitted to the hospital, raving about bus accidents and my family being eaten by alligators.\nSince that time, you'll be pleased to know I've done very little aside from answer some kind emails (thank you. You know who you are), post a little bit about my misadventures in Florida, and sit around the house, drinking enormous quantities of water and coughing up every brachial tube in my lungs.\nI was told to stay home from work the first week and I almost managed it. Except Wednesday we had a story pitch meeting and my designer--a truly inspirational fellow who is undergoing a second round chemotherapy for a very aggressive kind of sinus cancer--emailed me to see if I'd be there. He was home, sick from the chemo and a secondary infection that had made his face swell painfully, but he was planning to come into the office long enough to be there for my pitch meeting.\nWell, damn, if he was well enough to go, I sure as hell was.\nAnd what a pair we made at our pitch meeting. I've never had an editor-in-chief applaud for me before, but when the designer and I walked in, we got a standing ovation. We made our three or four crucial presentations, got them approved and then the Chief begged us to go home and rest. We didn't argue.\nBoy, have I been tired. It really has been like a preview of my senior years. I've been wandering around the house grumbling and crabbing and making disgusting noises as I try to clear every upper-body cavity of phlegm. Then I sit and fall asleep in front of the Weather Channel, snoring most of the afternoon away before waking up in time for dinner and then shuffling off to bed.\nThis week, was mostly a get-back-my-strength week (what will I do without my 2 o'clock nap once I go back to work full time?), so I've been on half-days and I've actually been pretty good about sticking to that work schedule.\nThus I feel pretty good this week. Well, physically good (we'll get to my emotional state in a bit). For the first time I can take a deep breath without coughing violently or feeling pain in my lower rib cage. I actually walked up a flight of stairs without seeing spots floating in my field of vision. And the residue from the super adhesive they used to affix the IV to me has finally peeled off. My arm hairs should be fully regrown in another six to eight weeks.\nOn a less jocular note, I almost dropped dead from shock when I got the statement from the hospital today. I knew it wasn't going to be cheap, and yes, of course, I know my insurance should cover most of it (or else there better be a damn good reason why such a painful chunk of my paycheck goes to medical every two weeks). Still, that knowledge doesn't do much to buffer the initial shock of realizing your three days in hospital cost well over six grand. And to think I was lamenting all the money spent on my vacation! My God, being sick at Disney was bargain in comparison, and they had more comfortable beds plus a much wider assortment of rides (at the hospital, you only had your choice of two: ER Gurney! and Wheelchair: Adventures into the Radiology Dept.).\nOf course, I have no one to blame but myself, now do I? I probably could have avoided the illness and the expense if I'd been just a little more watchful. But then I would have robbed someone of a rare moment of glee. For while I was still swooning from the bill, the phone rang and who should it be but my Dad, who usually enjoys commiserating with anyone about How Expensive Things Have Got. But I underestimated his pleasure at my complaints.\n\"Oh holy-O jeezuz, don't this make my day!\" he cried, and even over the sound of the cackling I could hear him slapping his knee. \"Some pricey at the hospital, ennit?\"\n\"I don't see what's so funny,\" I said.\n\"Well, that's cos you don't have my broader experience when it comes to putting you up in a hospital.\"\n\"What are you talking about? This is the first time I've ever been admitted to a hospital--\"\n\"I guess the hell it ain't. I oughtta know.\" He paused to catch his breath and, I'm sure to wipe tears of joy from his eyes. \"You know, 40 years ago, when your brutha was born at the Elliott Hospital, I picked him and your mutha up and they give me the bill. Guess how much it cost have a baby in 1965?\"\n\"Er, a thousand dollars?\" I hazarded.\n\"One. Hundred. Fifty. Dollars,\" he said, pausing for emphasis. \"One-five-oh. And that was for a week in the hospital cos your mutha had toxi-whatchamahoozee and she and your brutha was both under observation.\"\n\"Really. What a great story.\"\n\"I ain't finished. Two years and eight months later, I had to make the same trip to Elliott to pick you up. Not even three years later, and guess what the bill was?\"\n\"Er. Three hundred?\"\n\"Don't I wish. Seven hundred and fifty goddamn dollars. I just about shit my pants, now I'll tell ya. And you and your mutha was only in there three days. I swear to Christ, when I saw that bill, I almost turned around and wheeled you both back up to maternity. You know what seven hundred and fifty dollars bought back then? The pick-up I was driving only cost me a hundred. I coulda had a friggin' fleet of trucks for what you run me. That was some piece of change and I didn't have it. I was making $60 a week back then, and most of it was going to bills and feeding the $150 kid I already had.\"\n\"Well, you must have managed it. I didn't grow up in an orphanage.\"\n\"It was a pretty goddamn near thing, I'll tell ya. Luckily that year I finally got into the union and they had a health plan that covered almost--but not quite--half of the bill. But I had the pay the rest out in installments, just like you was a refrigerator from Sears.\" Here he paused wistfully. \"Actually, I'm pretty sure a Sears refrigerator would've only run me a couple hundred bucks back then. Including delivery. And I'd a had my choice of pea green or harvest gold for colors.\"\n\"So now I know why you never had three kids.\"\n\"Damn right. Way too much money. But it's almost worth it now hearing you bitch about your hospital bill. By gorry, you made my day.\"\nWell, at least one of us was happy.\nAs good as I've been feeling this week, I've been less and less content--and not just from the hospital bill. It appears that her super-human efforts to wrangle the kids and me home safely have finally taken their toll on Her Lovely Self. I'd love to tell you that she picked up a cold or even a flu. That would almost give me the same joy as news of my exorbitant hospital bill gave my dad. I say that not out of cruelty, but because I know exactly why my wife is ailing, and I'd rather she had a simple cold or virus than what's troubling her now.\nSome years back--in fact about a year before we bumped into each other in Chicago, Her Lovely Self began to fall ill. It was just a month or so after she had graduated college and moved to Chicago and started her first job in the magazine business. And then she was hit with a tidal wave of symptoms: nausea, fever, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, anemia, dehydration, and all manner of digestive complaints that I needn't go into here.\nShe was diagnosed with a simple flu, but the symptoms persisted for more than a month. During that month, she saw a variety of doctors, each of whom had a different diagnosis. One thought she was pregnant (which would have been a very neat trick at the time, seeing as she wasn't seeing anybody); another assumed she had an eating disorder; someone else thought she had leukemia. One memorably dismissive doctor told her the symptoms were all in her head.\nMeanwhile, she ate and drank less and less, the abdominal pain grew worse. Eventually, she collapsed at work and ended up in the hospital, hooked to IV fluids and nutrients. When they admitted her to the hospital, she weighed 86 pounds. She's petite, but that was extreme even for her. She was in the hospital for almost a month. On the bright side, a doctor finally gave her a correct diagnosis.\nHer Lovely Self has Crohn's Disease. I don't know why, but I suspect there's more than a few of you out there who already know all about this particularly nasty form of inflammatory bowel disease. There are plenty of unpleasant details about this disorder, but the basics are this (and forgive me if I'm off on some details. I'm a little too tired to fact-check myself just now): for reasons that aren't clear, parts of your digestive system can become inflamed. During this flare-up period, the inflamed area can close off almost completely, at best making it hard for your body to absorb nutrients from food, or simply causing lots of pain as food passes through the inflamed, narrowed areas. At worst, the inflammation can cause so much narrowing of the tract that it can cause dangerous and even fatal bowel obstructions. In some cases, the inflamed tissue can have a corrosive effect on other nearby tissue, causing perforations in neighboring loops of intestine, which leads to problems such as internal bleeding (hence the anemia) or even peritonitis. In this way, the disease is similar to another inflammatory bowel disease--ulcerative colitis--and they used to treat both problems the same way--with surgery. However, in the case of Crohn's, they found out that half the time they removed a diseased loop of intestine, the inflammation returned in a previously healthy area of the digestive tract. So much for surgery.\nBy the time Her Lovely Self was hospitalized and diagnosed, it was determined that the disease was mostly confined to the ileum, a part of the small intestine, which was so badly off they estimated that the ileum was constricted to an opening of roughly a quarter-inch wide. By the time they got the inflammation under control (thanks to a series of really unpleasant steroids), Her Lovely Self had developed permanent scarring in that part of her digestive system.\nThat's more detail than I meant to give (and certainly more than she would want me to give. No one likes to publicize their health problems, especially when they pertain to your digestive system, and HLS is a particularly discreet person anyway). But it's important to have the back-story. And it's important to understand that she is somewhat in denial about this chronic health problem of hers. In her own way, she's as much in denial about it as I was about being really sick in Florida.\nIt's not entirely her fault. Her Crohn's is considered a relatively mild case, and as such, she's not subject to constant, pain and problems. She suffers flare-ups. After her first and worst flare-up, she didn't suffer any problems again until about a month after we were married. We had just moved to a new city and she had just started a new job when she started waking up mornings feeling nauseous and complaining of a clenching pain in her stomach. I was young and stupid then and thought she had an ulcer or was--Good God!--pregnant. And she allowed me to flounder like this for more than a week before her symptoms got so bad she finally told me the whole story, a story I had not really heard before we got married (not that hearing it would have changed my decision to marry her). Despite her angry protests, I took it upon myself to find her a gastroenterologist and practically had to drag her to her first appointment. In the end, she had to admit it was the right thing to do. Aside from the doctor in the hospital, she had never been under any consistent care for the disease, and thanks to the aid of a specialist, she was able to get the flare-up under control in a much shorter period of time and with far less troublesome meds than the steroids she'd been on before.\nAnd so it went. Every 2 or 3 years, HLS would stop eating or have that telltale clenching pain and she'd go on some meds and try to eat a very low-residue diet to avoid any irritation of the inflamed area or put herself at risk for an obstruction (she's only had one close call, thank God, and it was one of the scariest nights of my life. They wanted to operate--obstructions are damn painful and can kill you fairly quickly--but surgery increased the odds of spreading the disease to other parts of the digestive system. In the end, her gastroenterologist prevailed and they gave her a massive dose of prednisone. The inflammation was gone in an hour and the obstruction resolved itself without the aid of surgery, but that was one bad night. My brow is sweating even now at the thought of it).\nWe've been lucky the past several years. Her last flare-up was just before she was pregnant with Thomas. She remained free of Crohn's symptoms for years afterward, well after the Brownie was born. She had a minor flare-up when I took the job I have now and we moved to our new house, but once again, with the right meds, she got over it quickly.\nCareful readers may notice a correlation between HLS's flare-ups and major life events, such as finishing school, moving, starting or changing jobs. Most doctors say there's no scientific evidence to support this, but every Crohn's sufferer I've ever spoken with feels pretty damn sure that stress can trigger a flare-up. I've seen the evidence myself. That dangerous obstruction HLS had? It came within hours of learning her beloved grandfather had died unexpectedly a couple of days before Christmas and we found ourselves rushing to cancel holiday plans and finds two seats on a plane going anywhere near the funeral. She was as upset as I've ever seen her then, so it's little wonder that a few hours later I was carrying her into the ER because she couldn't walk from the stomach pain. From that day forward, I've never doubted the link stress can play in triggering flare-ups. Which is why whenever we seem to be going through a rough patch--too many sick kids or dying relatives, too many demands on work and life, too many personal or professional problems cropping up--I find myself watching my wife. Because she won't tell me if she's feeling bad, see (remember what I said about her being as stupid as I am?). But she can't fool me. I know what her face looks like when she feels that telltale clenching in her stomach.\nAnd I just realized this week that she's been wearing that face a lot. I was just too sick myself to notice before.\nI shouldn't be surprised. Having a sick spouse in a place far from home is stressful enough. But add in taking two kids--by yourself--to the largest amusement complex in the solar system and throw in having to get everyone home safe afterwards. And then immediately follow that up with getting your spouse to a hospital and being told that he could have gone into cardiac arrest and died.\nWell, I guess that'd make my stomach clench too.\nNow that I finally have a clue, I've confronted Her Lovely Self, but she insists she doesn't need to see her doctor. Still, I can't bear to see her wake up every morning holding her stomach, gritting her teeth against the pain. Inevitably, it gets bad enough that she starts feeling nauseous. And then she starts eating less and less. And the she gets weak. And then...\nI'm not sure where she is on the disease's continuum right now. I've been out of the loop for two weeks. But I'm watching her now. Carefully. As I type this in bed, she's asleep beside me, her face creased with pain. And I'm cursing myself, blaming my own stupidity for this, just as I did today when I got my statement from the hospital.\nBut this is no piddling 4-figure bill. This is a bill come due that I can't bear to pay. I've caused pain to something in my life that is irreplaceable and I have no one to blame but myself, getting so sick that I allowed her to become sick. Watching her suffer, even in her sleep, I'm having a hard time letting myself off the hook for this one.\nTime sure can fly when you're sick.\nBut man, it crawls when someone you love feels sick, and you know you're the one who helped make her feel that way.\nTomorrow, I'm calling her doctor.",

Indeed, Jesus is asking us to follow him, and although we all misread the signs at times \u2013 Christ desires all of us to be with him. So, we have a 2,000 year old message which is timeless, it doesn\u2019t age, although perhaps the mediums we use to communicate the message could do with a little work. This message of course is that of love, hope, mercy, faith and salvation. These are not easy messages to put into one line \u201ctweet\u201d or a pithy \u201cfacebook\u201d status. We don\u2019t exactly update our relationship status to \u201cIn a relationship with Jesus Christ\u201d and consider ourselves \u201cFacebook official\u201d the moment we realise how much we have been gifted by God in our lives.. The hope of Christ in the world gives life to all, and yet so many haven\u2019t been touched in this way.\nNext year, the second Australian Catholic Media Congress will be held at the Menzies Hotel in Sydney with the theme \u201cCommunicating the Word: Timeless messages, new media.\u201d Our international guest for this Congress is Monsignor Paul Tighe, Secretary to the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.\nThe Congress is open to anyone who wishes to attend, particularly those with an interest in Church media. The congress aims to address some of the challenges of spreading a message in a sometimes hostile world; it aims to show new ways of engaging with technology to more effectively proclaim those messages. Over three days, from the 30th of April to the 2nd of May, the bishops have invited you, the people of Australia to attend the Australian Catholic Media Congress and discuss your hopes and vision for Church media.\nSo we hope that you will join us. www.cievents.com.au/events/ACMC2012\nThis entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Australian Catholic Media Congress, catholic bishops, Church, Church and New Media, Facebook, Jesus Christ, Media, Monsignor Paul Tighe, Social Media, Twitter on October 25, 2011 by Mark Wei.",

        "raw_content": "Hypothermia is a medical condition in which the victim's core body temperature has dropped to significantly below normal and normal metabolism begins to be impaired. This begins to occur when the core temperature drops below 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit).\nHypothermia is a medical condition in which the victim's core body temperature has dropped to significantly below normal and normal metabolism begins to be impaired. This begins to occur when the core temperature drops below 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). If body temperature falls below 32 \u00b0C (90 \u00b0F), the condition can become critical and eventually fatal. Body temperatures below 27 \u00b0C (80 \u00b0F) are almost uniformly fatal, though body temperatures as low as 14 \u00b0C (57.5 \u00b0F) have been known to be survivable. The opposite condition, where temperature is too high, is hyperthermia.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" />\nFor unknown reasons, people who fall critically unconscious in very cold water can, in rare cases, be resuscitated, even though they would be expected to have died of drowning and/or hypothermia. See Mammalian diving reflex.\nThere are three types of hypothermia, acute, subacute, and chronic.\nAcute hypothermia is the most dangerous; the body temperature drops very swiftly, often in a matter of minutes, such as when a victim falls through an ice-covered lake.\nSubacute hypothermia occurs on a scale of hours, most commonly by remaining in a cold environment for an extended period of time.\nChronic hypothermia is typically caused by an underlying disease.\nTreatment for hypothermia involves raising the core body temperature of the victim.\nThe first aid response to someone experiencing hypothermia, however, must be made with caution.\n\u00b7 Do not rub or massage the casualty\n\u00b7 Do not give alcohol\n\u00b7 Do not give food or drink (this includes warm drinks)\n\u00b7 Do not treat any frostbite\n\u00b7 Do not allow the body to become vertical\n\u00b7 Any of these actions will divert blood from the critical internal organs and may make the situation worse.\n\u00b7 Call the emergency services\n\u00b7 Get the patient to shelter\n\u00b7 If possible, put the patient in a bath with medium-temperature water, with the clothes on\n\u00b7 Place hot water bottles (wrapped in a cotton sock) in the patient's armpits and between their legs\n\u00b7 Monitor the patient and be prepared to give Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.\n\u00b7 Remove wet clothing if and only if a dry change is available\n\u00b7 If the hypothermia has become severe, notably if the patient is incoherent or unconscious, re-warming must be done by trained professionals. Bystanders should only remove the patient from the cold environment and call emergency services to get advanced medical care as quickly as possible.\nMoving a severely hypothermic person can, and most likely will cause ventricular fibrillation (heart attack), so if possible wait for trained emergency workers arrive. If help is over thirty minutes away, move the patient to an area that shelters them from the wind and cover or wrap them in a blanket.\nIn a hospital, warming is accomplished by external techniques (blankets, warming devices) for mild hypothermia and by more invasive techniques such as warm intravenous fluids or even lavage (washing) of the bladder, stomach, chest and abdominal cavities with warmed fluids for severely hypothermic patients. These patients are at high risk for arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), and care must be taken to minimize jostling and other disturbances until they have been sufficiently warmed, as these arrhythmias are very difficult to treat while the victim is still cold. An important tenet of treatment is that a person is not dead until they are warm and dead - remarkable stories of recovery after prolonged cardiac arrest have been reported in patients with hypothermia. This is presumably because the low temperature prevents some of the cellular damage that occurs when blood flow and oxygen are lost for an extended period of time.\nIn air, most heat is lost through the head, so hypothermia can be most effectively prevented by covering the head. Having appropriate clothing for the environment is another important prevention. Fluid-retaining materials like cotton can be a hypothermia risk if the wearer gets sweaty on a cold day, then cools down, they will have sweat soaked clothing in the cold air. For outdoor exercise on a cold day, it is advisable to wear fabrics which can wick away sweat moisture. These include wool or synthetic fabrics designed specifically for rapid drying.\nHeat is lost much more quickly in water. Children can die of hypothermia in as little as two hours in water as warm as 16\u00b0C, typical of sea surface temperatures in temperate countries such as Great Britain. Many seaside safety information sources fail to quote survival times in water, and the consequent importance of diving suits, possibly because the original research into hypothermia mortality in water was carried out in wartime Germany on unwilling subjects. There is an ongoing debate as to the ethical basis of using the data thus acquired. Information on wet-suits and safety in water can be found here.\nThere is considerable evidence, however, that children that suffer near-drowning accidents in water near 0\u00b0C can be revived up to two hours after losing consciousness. The cold water also considerably lowers metabolism, allowing the brain to withstand a much longer period of hypoxia.",

        "title": "Satan a Snake? Angels are Dragons? Old Testament Word and The Secrets of the Bible",
        "raw_content": "Satan a Snake? Angels are Dragons? Old Testament Word and The Secrets of the Bible\nI was doing a little browsing and stumbled onto some weird facts that, to me anyway, were rather shocking.\n1) The Nephilim. In Genesis 6, these are the offspring of the \u201csons of God\u201d and the \u201cdaughters of men\u201d. This word is usually translated \u201cgiants\u201d, as it is in Numbers 13:33. But the word actually just derives from \u201cnephal\u201d, meaning \u201cfallen\u201d. The Nephilim were simply \u201cthe fallen ones\u201d.\n2) The Serpent. The serpent was more cunning than the beasts of the field, and tempted Eve to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. When she did so, her eyes were opened, and she could discern good and evil. Interesting thing is, the word \u201cserpent\u201d here is the EXACT same word for \u201cforetelling the future, divination, prophesying\u201d or \u201cdiscerning\u201d. So, the DISCERNER (serpent) was more DISCERNING (cunning) than the beasts, and tempted Eve to eat of the Tree of DISCERNING (knowledge of) Good and Evil. See a pattern?\n3) The Seraphim. The Seraphim are described in Isaiah 6:1-6 as beings immensely close to the glory of God, whose sole purpose is to display that glory. They have six wings, two to cover their eyes, two to cover their feet, two to fly with. I always imagined them as humans, and they were always described as being at the very top of the different orders of angels (seraphim, cherubim, archangels, angels, etc).\nInteresting thing is, the word \u201cseraphim\u201d means literally \u201cfiery serpent\u201d, and is translated that way in most locations, including Numbers 21:6-8 and Deuteronomy 8:15. So, we have \u201cfiery serpents\u201d with wings\u2026hmmm. Sounds to me like dragons.\nSo the seraphim are not some \u201cangelic\u201d human beings with wings. Instead, they are huge, fiery, six-winged dragons. Wow\u2026weird.\nAnd that may be connected back to the serpent in the garden of Eden. The serpent (assuming it was something like a seraphim), would have been a glorious dragon accustomed to flying. And as his punishment, he had to crawl on the ground, no longer flying or walking.\nI dont think it is weird at all. Mythic serpent is very common in ancient religions and myths. And I guess \"authors\" of Bible deal this way with older myths of the area. Snake/serpent/dragon is usually the primordial one, representing powers of chaos and creation.\nSal A Bianco Jr:\nTraditionally, Dragons Were always much smarter than humans. They were not the dangerous, and didn't even consider humans worth their time.\nI've always thought that Dragons were far superior to man and thought man was always fighting and creating problems for all about. Being angels is very probable, seeing they were able to act as Deities, first because of their strength, and more importantly their brain power.\nNicholas S. Casale:\nNot odd at all. I've studied this one at great length and I can say there is a TON of evidence throughout the Bible, as well as Apocryphal books, Jewish folklore, Talmud, Sumerian cosmology, and a plethora of other sources to back this up. Follow that line of logic, as well as several places in the Bible that reference Leviathan and the Dragon in Revelation (the enemy of God) and you find that the seven-headed sea dragon Leviathan is the current form of that \"serpent\" who deceived Eve in the Garden. He is identified in the Hebrew many times as \"HaSatan,\" or \"The Accuser.\" But, here's something weird. HaSatan is the enemy of God and is Leviathan. A being called \"Satan\" appears in Heaven in the Book of Job to accuse Job of only being loyal because things go well for him. This being is, apparently, in Heaven while God speaks of Leviathan being in the ocean. So, here's my thought, what if \"Satan,\" meaning \"Accuser\" is a title, not a name? The first being to hold that title was the one who fell and became Leviathan, but there is a later one, a different angel, who took on the title after that fall. This is only the tip of the ice-burg of questions raised by this line of logic.

        "raw_content": "My old man was like Zeus\u2019s father Cronos: he couldn\u2019t bear the idea that any of his children might surpass him. Life radiated from the central pulse of his scrap-metal yard; the world beyond it seemed to make him defensive and nervous. Self-conscious about his lack of formal education, he took my bookishness as a personal affront. \u201cWhich do you think is worth more,\u201d he once asked me, \u201ca commodity or some goddamn idea?\u201d\nAmong the family, my violent fights with him were famous. The last one occurred when I was fifteen. I followed him around the apartment, taunting him with a line from my latest poem, \u201cWhich do you think is worth more, flesh or steel?\u201d At the end of his rope, he took a wild swing at me. I dodged it easily, hearing the crush of bone as his fist hit the wall. I fled the apartment, and when I returned, three days later, his hand was in a cast. \u201cYou have guts, but no common sense,\u201d he said. \u201cOne cancels out the other. A total waste.\u201d\nA week later, I moved away from home, supporting myself with a night job in a book store.\nNevertheless, when I was in my early twenties, driving a cab, with a newborn son at home, my father offered me a chance to join the family business. \u201cYou get all the major holidays,\u201d he said. \u201cYou quit work every day at five. And to make a living you don\u2019t have to be a genius.\u201d\nHe seemed hurt when I turned him down. \u201cThose notebooks you scribble in won\u2019t get you on the goddam subway,\u201d he said. He was right, and during the lean years that followed I sometimes imagined that he was eyeing me with satisfaction. I was getting what I deserved. The idea of writing for a living was ludicrous to him, unless you were as famous as Arthur Miller or cooked up gags for one of his revered television stars. My literary ambitions were self-destructive and pretentious.\nThe family metal business was not pretentious. Pig iron, scrap metal and cold roll steel were the deities of our household. They represented value stripped down to its zero point, tangible and unadorned. To get by in my father\u2019s world, you had to be tough, like he was. He didn\u2019t have colleagues, only enemies. Every dollar, he taught us, had to be pried from men who would just as soon see us starve.\nMy brothers, Larry and Jay, had accepted his offer to join the business, and when he died, nine years ago, they inherited it. More than a livelihood, it had become the source of our family\u2019s identity; our New York achievement. Our immigrant grandfather had started with scrap metal back in the 1920s. Prior to that, in the Ukraine, iron work had been the family trade. Jay and Larry enjoyed a special status for keeping this tradition (and, by extension, our Jewish forefathers) alive.\nI am stunned, therefore, when I learn that my brothers have decided to liquidate the business and retire while still in their prime. The news puts me in the untenable position of mourning the passing of something that I had strongly rejected. I ride the number 6 train to the South Bronx in order to see the place one last time. When I arrive, the cinder block warehouse is almost empty. \u201cYou\u2019re looking at a carcass,\u201d says Jay, reading my mind. The building has already been sold, he tells me. In a month the new owners will move in, a sprinkler company that used to be down in TriBeCa. Larry examines the remaining scraps of steel, doing his best to look busy. They seem embarrassed by the state of affairs, and uneasy about my being there for no apparent reason other than to scrutinize their lives. \u201cWhat will you do now?\u201d I ask. \u201cLearn to cook,\u201d says Jay sarcastically. \u201cClimb mountains,\u201d says Larry. A rat hurries along the warehouse wall. I am reminded of Freud\u2019s remark that when rats appear in a dream, they usually stand for the dreamer\u2019s siblings.\nSitting with them in their cramped, dusty office, I feel the presence of our father. His larger office was in the adjoining room. It looks much as he left it, except for the addition of an exercise bike which my brothers rarely use. Larry once had aspirations to be an artist and on the wall opposite our father\u2019s old desk hangs a painting he did of the warehouse crammed with rolled coils of steel. The picture of prosperity. \u201cI feel that I\u2019m letting Dad down,\u201d says Larry quietly. \u201cHe never would have allowed this to happen.\u201d Our father\u2019s stamp on him was enormous. A few weeks after he died, Larry started wearing his pinkie ring, a blue sapphire set in a square of gold. He took to smoking his cigars, driving his old, wheezy Mercedes, and thrusting his chin out like our father, growling at people without provocation. I thought of Patricia Highsmith\u2019s Tom Ripley assuming the mannerisms of Dickie Greenleaf, though in Larry\u2019s case this was a benign, seemingly unconscious homage.\nA couple of months later, as if snapping out of a trance, he ditched the Mercedes, put away the pinkie ring, and returned to himself -solitary and shy. I realized then that this had been Larry\u2019s way of mourning: he had been keeping our father alive in himself.\nJay has few misgivings about quitting. Liquidation, in fact, was his idea. \u201cWhen I feel guilty,\u201d he says, \u201cI remember what I went through with the old man. And I think, to hell with it, I had enough. I can\u2019t stand this place anymore.\u201d As the eldest son, Jay felt coerced into joining the business. Expectations for him were higher than for the rest of us. Had the pressure been less, he believes, he might have led a more rewarding life doing something else. Our father punished him for that ambivalence. \u201cHe\u2019d come in and slap his cane on my desk, spoiling for a fight. \u2018So you want to get out of here?\u2019 he\u2019d ask. Everything I did was wrong.\u201d For thirty years they tormented each other with accumulated rancor.\nWe go to a diner for lunch and return to the office. The afternoon drags slowly on. The phone is silent. The truck wants a buyer. The line cutter, which was used to shear rolls of steel into sheets like plywood, waits to be hauled to Mexico where metal work is thriving. My brothers worry about getting paid. The business has always been small, with rarely more than six employees. Two remain, hanging around with nothing to do, impatient to go home. They remember our father differently than we do. \u201cWe called him The Pigeon,\u201d says one, \u201cbecause every time the cutter went silent he\u2019d stick his head out the office window to see what was going on.\u201d One morning, eager to get to work, he jumped out of his car while it was still in gear. \u201cIt smashed into a fire hydrant, but your father didn\u2019t notice. Or he didn\u2019t give a damn. He wasn\u2019t easy to work for, but that man had drive.\u201d The drive kept the business going. My brothers, they believe, have broken a tacit contract.\nI step outside for some air. The last time I was here, in the 1980s, barefoot crack whores prowled the streets in the freezing cold. Today, the neighborhood is slightly less dramatic, though ample signs of misery remain. Flanked by two enormous waste-burning plants, men in rags lower traps into the East River. One snares a blue claw crab. The man next to him looks on jealously. Squatter camps made of discarded car parts spill out from under the expressway.\nShortly before he died, my father recalled the day I turned down his offer to join the business. \u201cIt was just as well,\u201d he said. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t have lasted. Your brothers do better.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb SWANSEA MAKE SIGNINGS\nSWANSEA MAKE SIGNINGS\nSwansea have made a lot of signings in several areas of the pitch and it was expected that they would be selling a couple of players in order to balance the books. Manager Michael Laudrup, though, has revealed that the club has not revealed any bids for its players.\nKey players from last season like Ashley Williams have been linked with a move away from the Liberty stadium with the likes of Arsenal interested in his services. However, a valuation in the region of \u00a3 10 million has been enough to stop Arsenal from making an official offer for the defender.\nIt is the same case with other players at the club according to Laudrup, who himself was subjected to several rumours. The former Barcelona midfielder was linked with the vacant managerial jobs at PSG and Barcelona. Only recently, he revealed that he turned down the opportunity to manage clubs in the Champions League in order to fulfil his contract at Swansea. In his first season at the club, Laudrup managed to guide the club to a ninth place finish along with a trophy as well. He said at the start of the pre-season that the club needed to spend a lot of money not to come close to be achieving this once again.\n\"I can control what I'm doing but of course I can't control what others are thinking. I've always said if someone really wants to leave for a certain reason, then it's very difficult to keep a player. We saw that last year with Joe [Allen] to Liverpool and Scott [Sinclair] to Man City and Danny [Graham]. You can't really keep players against their will because they want to leave,\" said the Swansea manager, who was unable to stop Graham from moving to Sunderland back in January.",

        "raw_content": "You will learn that once you own your own house, there are a number of different chores you need to complete on a daily basis. While you\u2019re at that, there\u2019s something very important you must not forget to do every 6 months or so: spring cleaning. Getting your deep cleaning done in time will help relieve you of all your duties and the cluttering! When your house is full of clutter then there\u2019s something very messy about it that even you feel uncomfortable. There are numerous ways to go about doing your spring cleaning, but listed below are a few ideas to help you.\nOnce you get rid of the clutter then you have all the room you can possibly wish for. This is the time where you get rid of everything you do not need and things that take up space. What you can do is get a storage facility in Singapore if you feel like you have nowhere else to put the stuff in. This is an absolutely great idea to both keep this clutter and get rid of it!\nAllocating enough time\nThis is extremely vital. You need to have plenty of time to spring clean your entire house and not have to leave it halfway and do something else. Ensure you pick a few dates where you know you will not be busy and go ahead with that, assigning all your appointments and duties for another day. It\u2019s best if you can finish the cleaning within a day, but you might need a few more to be done with it completely. Don\u2019t rush either!\nIn order to ensure you do this without any issues, you might have to have a rough plan as to how things will go. Once you know where you are going to start from, and where you will be finishing the cleaning, your work will become much more organized. Having a plan is the way to go. Make sure you write down where you will put all items into personal self storage unit https://lovestoreit.com.sg/storage/personal-storage/ , what items go where and the rooms that need the most cleaning. Don\u2019t leave out any space, or leave it for later.\nOnce you\u2019re done with that, you need to put on your cleaning clothes and get to work as soon as possible. It\u2019s best if you get the help of more people so that you can allocate each person something to do, as this will decrease the amount of work you have to do greatly.",

Not only are they two of the better pound-for-pound boxers in the world, but they've also built their careers by using crowd-pleasing styles in the ring. His ability to promote a fight is second-to-none, and Jericho believes this makes him a flawless fit for the WWE, whenever he decides he's ready.\nIt may be little surprise that the mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter has warm feelings for the boxer who helped him earn a minimum of US$30 million (S$41 million) from their bout, but the build-up had been stormy with the two exchanging unpalatable slurs. He knew from the start he wasn't going to be troubled.\nAlthough McGregor has alluded to creating a hybrid sport of his own for fighters, he has made more substantial requests for shares in the UFC.\n\"I went one way and thinking maybe he didn't see me the first time I tried again to ask but he just turned his back on both occasions\". He fought seven times on Showtime PPV, including the McGregor fight, and posted the three of the four largest pay-per-view numbers in history, as well as the three largest-grossing fights in history.\n\"I thought it was a fraud\", De La Hoya said on ESPN's First Take.\nConversely, Manny has declined dramatically over his last few fights and couldn't even dominate an inexperienced fighter like Jeff Horn who only had 16 pro bouts prior to their fight. You're not getting him for the $200,000 you were paying him a year.\n\"The resilience and scalability of OpenBet allows us to smash previous records with confidence and we continuously offer our customers a great experience 24x7 when it matters most\". Following his 10 round loss to Floyd Mayweather on August 26th. McGregor retained his pride with a respectable performance, and Mayweather retired with 50-0 record. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, former WWE champion Chris Jericho said that it is a \"no-brainer\" that McGregor will one day end up in the WWE in some capacity.\nConor McGregor has expressed an interest in fighting in the UFC this year. \"I think people got an entertaining 10 round fight, it ended up where the educated person would imagine that it'd end up, but I think it was entertaining and it delivered on a lot of levels\".\nJose, the 10th tropical storm of this busy Atlantic hurricane season, has formed in the Atlantic behind the monster that is Irma.

        "raw_content": "Biographies K\nFritz Kreisler was born in Vienna, February 2, 1875.\nHe first appeared in public when 7 years old.\nAs a rule students are not admitted to the Vienna Conservatory until 14, but as a concession to his genius he was admitted when 7.\nHis teachers at Vienna were Hellmesberger and Auber.\nHe also studied at the Paris Conservatory under Massart (violin) and Delibes (theory).\nHe won the greatest distinctions at both conservatories, and after a few years\u2019 further study, visited America with Moritz Rosenthal in 1889.\nThen for some years he gave up his musical career; he studied medicine in Vienna, art in Paris, and finally passed a stiff army examination and became an officer of Uhlands.\nOn resuming his violin concert career he made his debut in Berlin with startling success in 1899. Again he came to America, and won even higher praise here than at home.\nHis London debut in 1901 won a further confirmation of the American verdict, and from that time he advanced steadily in the estimation of all competent musicians.\nHe rapidly became considered as the foremost of the younger violinists, as he not only possessed unlimited technique, but was also a musician in the broadest sense of the word.\nMany of his arrangements, notably that of Dvorak\u2019s Humoreske, are freely used by violinists, though he has done little original composition.\nHe died January 29, 1962, in New York City, New York.\nNext story Rodolphe Kreutzer\nPrevious story Enrico Bossi",

The sprawling lawns lead to the Carl Hansen Student Center \u00e2\u20ac\u201d which has a full dining hall, space for our nearly 150 student organizations and spots for connecting with friends \u00e2\u20ac\u201d academic buildings and the 600-seat Arnold Bernhard Library.\nYork Hill Campus\nOur York Hill Campus features breathtaking, 360-degree views of New Haven, Long Island Sound, Sleeping Giant State Park and the surrounding rolling countryside. But more than that, it offers all of the comforts of home in state-of-the-art facilities including the Rocky Top Student Center, built to resemble a ski lodge with pine walls and exposed wooden beams.\nJust steps away from the apartment-style residence halls is the Quinnipiac Sports Center, named the best collegiate facility in New England. The twin-arena facility is home to our men's and women's basketball and ice hockey teams \u00e2\u20ac\u201d several of which are regularly nationally ranked, as well as the acrobatics and tumbling team.

        "raw_content": "Exciting news!...\nAnd it was pretty exciting!\nSo as you know if you read the post from Saturday, I am rewriting my novel in 3rd person. I was in the middle of writing the outline, and guess what: I finished that on Monday! 43 chapters at the current moment in time. Now you may think... yeah that is exciting, but what is the big deal?\nThe big deal is that, when I was writing the outline for the final chapter I started tearing up. Yes! Okay, so a little backstory... I'm pretty hardcore. I have only cried to a book once, but that was when I was young and didn't know what a good story was. Other than that I am usually ice cold. I didn't even cry reading Eleanor and Park, which surprised me. And I especially don't cry while writing my own stuff. Like I said, I'm ice cold.\nSo having that moment... feeling the tears... it just made me realize that maybe... just maybe... I'm writing something real here. I still have a long way to go, I've still only written the prologue and chapter 1, but things are going somewhere, which is good. Any progress is progress nonetheless.\nANOTHER EXCITING THING...\nI participated in a competition to go to a writing workshop with one of the lead authors over here in Denmark - along with other people as well. What I had to do to participate was write 2 chapters of a story about a teenager with a life threatening disease.\nI first wanted to write about a girl who had cancer... but I know shit about cancer... so I would sound freaking stupid if I tried writing about it. Therefore I decided to write about a young girl who had progeria. I watched the documentary \"life according to Sam\" and read all I could about it. And then I sat down to write it.\nIt got selected. I got selected. In one week exactly I'm going to Copenhagen to participate in the workshop. And the most amazing thing is that we'll be workshopping at a hospital with teenagers who have life threatening diseases, but also enjoy to write.\nI just know it is going to be an amazing experience. I just know it.\nkeep, calm, write, on, once, upon, time author, book, chapters, competition, crying, disease, exciting, hardcore, life, news, novel, outlining, threatening, workshop, writer, writing\nMurees Dup\u00e9 February 26, 2014 at 10:07 PM\nThat does sound like such an amazing opportunity. Congratulations. The progress with your novel is great. If you can evoke powerful emotions, you are definitely on the right track. Wishing you all the best.\nNanna Andersen March 1, 2014 at 12:27 PM",

He said they appeared to have fired indiscriminately into the crowd, striking 10 people.\n\"We believe that they actually stood over one of the individuals and fired multiple rounds and then after that fled,\" Harrison said.\nInvestigators work at the site of the shooting late Saturday. (Matthew Hinton /The Advocate via Associated Press)\nPolice responding to the shooting found three victims \u2014 two men and one woman \u2014 who were pronounced dead at the scene. Seven other victims \u2014 five men and two women \u2014 were taken to hospital.\nHarrison said one underwent surgery and was in critical condition. The other six were in various conditions but none were considered life-threatening.\n'Extremely tragic'\nHarrison called on people to come forward and help police find the killers, and also asked people not to take matters into their own hands.\n\"This was an extremely tragic incident. A lot of people were out here tonight. A lot of people, we know, saw what happened, heard what happened. And we need more than anything for people to come forward to help the NOPD right now solve this case,\" Harrison said.\nHe said police do not know whether the shooting was gang-related.\nNew Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said on Twitter that residents of the city are 'disgusted' by the shooting. (Gerald Herbert/Associated Press)\nLawrence Russo was buying a lottery ticket at a nearby gas station when he heard what he thought at first were firecrackers. He told NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune that he heard a total of 13 to 16 shots fired.\n\"They never stop killing each other,\" he said, shaking his head as he spoke.\nNear the site of the shooting, beyond the police tape, people could be seen crying and hugging one another in comfort.\nMayor LaToya Cantrell said in a statement: \"There is no place in New Orleans for this kind of violence. I speak for everyone in our city when I say we are disgusted, we are infuriated, and we have had more than enough. Three more lives \u2014 gone. It has to end. It's unacceptable anywhere.\"",

        "raw_content": "There is no finer way to get a real \"feel\" of a time than to turn to the newspapers of the day. Newspapers are unfettered by the \"historical viewpoint\", they paint a picture of a moment in time with the materials that are available at that time, rather than some idealised picture of days gone by. If time machines could in fact be constructed, then they would probably be made of paper-mache.\n\u200bToday I am travelling back seventy years to October 1947, and my time travel is courtesy of the pages of the Daily Herald. The second world war has been over for two years, but Britain is still beset by enormous problems and serious economic shortages. The dreadful winter of 1946/47 nearly brought the country to its knees far more effectively than years of enemy bombing campaigns, and in October 1947 the Government was putting together contingency plans for the coming winter.\n\u200bThe examples given in the newspaper reports - football coupons being reduced to half their size in order to save paper and cinemas closing early to conserve power - illustrate just how far the economic shortages were making serious inroads into the lives of ordinary people. This came at a time when the rationing of food and luxuries was probably even more widespread than it was during the war itself.\nAnother interesting sidelight is provided by a couple of small items which relate to the future of energy supplies in the UK. One is a short article about \"Atom Boys\" (note the gender specificity!), a hand-picked group of 160 young men who will become the country's atom scientists of the future. The article doesn't actually say \"they will be a glowing beacon that will light the path to the future\", but you get the impression that, but for the sub-editors pencil, it could have done. The second is an advert for miners to return to the pits. \"Join the Miners - the miner's the skilled man the nation will always need\". Oh, if only they could have seen into the future!\nI love looking at old newspapers. Magazines, too. It's always interesting to see which Hollywood stars were popular seventy years ago or more. Some are still remembered, while most are only known to cinema lovers.",

A top student and athlete in his youth, Tom had only a passing interest in football when he entered Watchung Hills Regional High School. But his homeroom teacher freshman year was also the freshman football coach, and he talked Tom\u2014who was already over 6\u2019 and 200 lbs.\u2014to try out. Injuries plagued him his first three varsity seasons, but he did well enough as a senior to earn a scholarship from the University of Virginia.\nThe Cavaliers were in rebuilding mode and Tom won a starting job on the offensive line as a freshman and starred for the team from 1972 to 1975. An avid reader, Tom earned a degree in English and planned on becoming a teacher. His passion was actually history; he was intrigued by military leaders, most notably Napoleon Bonaparte. He amassed a huge collection of toy soldiers and military miniatures.\nThe Cavaliers went 4\u20137 in each of Tom\u2019s first three years, and then won just once his senior year. A pro career was far from his mind when he learned that the Denver Broncos selected him in the first round of the 1976 draft as the 15th overall pick. He started every game for the Broncos as a rookie at left guard as Denver went 9\u20135 and just missed the playoffs.\nThe following year, the Broncos won 12 games and defeated the Steelers and Raiders to reach the Super Bowl. They lost to the Cowboys 27\u201310.\nTom remained a starter through the 1982 season and then served as a sub in 1983. The Broncos returned to the playoffs three times but never made it past the opening round. At 6\u20193\u201d he had the size to play guard in the NFL, but his weight was always concern. Whereas most of his teammates were fined for being overweight at the weekly weigh-ins, Tom drew several $25 fine being underweight. A knee injury\u2014one of many dating back to high school\u2014knocked Tom out for the 1984 season and a comeback attempt with Seahawks in 1985 ended when team doctors informed him that they could not find the ACL in one of his knees.\nAfter retirement, Tom was among the many players who suffered from chronic and often debilitating pain\u2014in his case his back and knees. Within a decade, he was physically unable to hold a full-time job. Fortunately, Tom\u2019s taste for battle enabled him to win a disability settlement from the NFL in his 50s\u2014a rare victory at the time.",

The study has been conducted on 633 those who are afflicted by gout. They were asked to consume about 20 cherries daily. It has long been thought that cherries help in keeping inflammatory conditions associated with arthritis in check. For decades, many gout sufferers have been eating cherries as part of their daily diet to be able to help them ease the symptoms of systemic gout flare-ups and to prevent it.\nBreakfast - Cereals and breads, oatmeal, eggs, low-fat mozzarella dairy product, fruits, fruit juices, peanut butter, whole milk, tea, and coffee.\nHowever, the good news is that there are steps you can take to be able to improve the health of your kidneys, therefore avoiding the event or elimination stones, while minimizing the chances of a gout attack simultaneously.

All these remedies make things very easy when it come to treatment of gout and as such ought to be encouraged.\nBetween 10 and 40 percent of gout patients will experience kidney stones at any one time after they have developed hyperuricemia. Though the stones will usually be composed of uric acid, they may also include other materials as well like calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, or additional ingredients combined with uric acid.\nThe study itself is a confirmation of the number of years belief that cherries help to keep inflammatory conditions in check.\nOne of the Foods to Avoid If You Have Gout is Alcohol\nWhether the alcohol is beer or wine, anything that has to do with alcohol is known to have diuretic effects that can lead to dehydration. In turn, lack of fluids can result in gout flare-ups. Even if different kinds of alcoholic beverages have various effects, with some leading to lesser effects on uric acid levels than people, it would still be safer if alcohol were avoided altogether.\nPeople with gout need to always remember what foods to avoid in order to avoid the flare-ups or the attacks and in order to handle gout.\nThese would be foods that can increase our body's uric acid levels, and can thus increase the risks of worsening gout.\nGout is a type of arthritis that results from extreme uric acid levels in the blood.\nJohnson says the pharmaceutical company \"expects to see several velocity within sales\" as a result of their increased target market. The organization is said to be disappointed in the $1.4 thousand bucks in net sales the gout medication generated in the first six months after receiving Food approval.\nThus, eating the right kinds of food, especially the consumption of 1 cup of cherries regularly, helps in keeping gout attacks at bay.\nThe study proves that cherries are among the best natural gout treatments designed for gout patients.\nDuring gout attacks, it is important to rest, increase (raise) a member of your body and avoid accidentally knocked or destroy the affected joint.\nGout is treated with medication to relieve symptoms and also steps to get rid of the reason.\nSpecific treatment depends on whether you are experiencing a serious attack or try to prevent future attacks.\nWhile colchicine is normally an effective treatment for gout, this has stopped being widely used because it may cause troublesome side effects, including:\nBeing overweight puts added stress on your own joints thus increasing the possibility of gout.

It is also one of the components of cherries that made the fruit extremely beneficial for patients with inflammatory diseases such as gout.\nUric acid buildup can also cause worse problems for that kidneys; longterm uric acid interstitial nephropathy (kidney damage) occurs when there is a build-up of uric acid crystals to the point that they block the exit of fluids from the kidney. However, when properly managed, this condition can be reversible in many cases. Also a sudden increase in excessive uric acid can lead to full kidney failure, however this is very rare.\nThere will be increased hope for the roughly 3% of longterm, severe gout sufferers who do not respond to current gout medications. Within recent stage III trials of the new gout medication Krystexxa, a great impressive 42% of refractory gout patients achieved statistically significant reductions in uric acid levels, as well as sustained them for six months.

Compared, individuals gout patients in the trial that received a placebo saw no reduction in uric acid levels.\nGout as a disease may be easily controlled through effective home remedies which of course are well noted by particularly doctors and doctors.\nIt is therefore necessary to always try to know much about these remedies as soon as they can be very helpful to the individual.\nAll those who follow a diet that contains high amount of red meats, oily fish, yeast as well as internal organs are very susceptible to gout.\nMoreover, excessive alcohol intake is also known to be a major cause and as such should never be encouraged.\nThis is really very important and should be paid heed to as many people take it for granted and may suffer severely for it.\nAnother major reduction factor is limiting intake in the form of beer and wines are related to gout flare-ups one should limit alcohol drinks in order to one or two measure a day. drinking a lot of water helps prevent further attack .intake of dairy products, such as non-fat milk and yogurt can also lower the frequency of gout attacks.\nHigh levels of uric acid are usually the cause of gout, an extremely painful form of arthritis.\nThe excess acid crystallizes into hook sharp debris in the joints, usually at the bottom of the big toe.\nThe particular uric acid can also form knobby, chalky mounds called tophi.\nTophi can be reabsorbed back into the body if uric acid levels are reduced.\nForty percent of the trial participants with tophi knowledgeable a resolution of one or more of the lumpy deposits.\nGout Has Multiple Causes and Risk Factors Associated With It\nFor example, being overweight increases the chances of getting this kind of arthritis. Gout usually affects men. Diets that are an excellent source of red meat (especially game meats), certain sea food (such as sardines, trout, scallops, and mackerel), gravy, and alcohol increase the odds of developing gout. It is for this reason that gout has been historically associated as a condition that focuses on the wealthy upper class. Certain medications (such as aspirin) and chronic health conditions can increase your chances of getting this disorder. Genetic factors also play a role. An injury to the joints can bring about a gout attack in people who have high levels of uric acid.\nIt's best to avoid alcohol altogether, but if you should drink then do so in moderation, or even only on special occasions. The main reason alcohol is a no-no for that gout sufferer is that it increases the risk of hyperuricemia (an abnormally high level of uric acid in the blood), by slowing the natural removal process of uric chemicals from the entire body. If you are experiencing a gout attack next alcohol consumption must be completely prevented. There are no exceptions!\nJoe McArthur has been doing extensive research about gout therapy. Their long term research on finding ways and means to cure gout is actually found at http://gouttreatmentblog.net/.\nOne of the causes of gout in which many people fail to consider is impaired kidney health. If you are trying to manage kidney problems, you're at a greater risk of hyperuricemia, and are therefore more prone to experiencing gout episodes. The reason for this is if the kidneys are not functioning at their finest, they fight to process and remove excess uric acid in the body, allowing it to build up in the system and in the end crystallize in the joints.\nThe basic diet approach to keeping gout in check is to prevent foods that are high in purines. These foods include: organ meat such as, brain, liver, kidney, and sweetbread; seafood just like, anchovies, mackerel, scallops, mussels, and herring; as well as peas, beans, and yeast.

Gout (also called gouty arthritis) is characterized by sudden inflammatory reactions or attacks that frequently take place in the middle of the night or during the early morning hours.\nMore particularly, the study concluded that having 2 servings of cherry within the past 48 hours may lower the risk of a gout flare-up by as much as 50%. Now that is what scientists call a significant result. Using any amount of cherries or even the extract of cherries within the same period of 48 hours may lower the risk of repeating gout flare-ups by 40%.\nDiclofenac Indomethacin Naproxen If you have been approved NSAIDs for gout, it is best to keep them near you at all times so that you can use it at the first sign of gout attacks. Continue to take your medicine during the attack as well as for 48 hours after the attack is total.\nKrystexxa Emerged Intravenously Over a Minimum of Two Hours Every Two Weeks\nThe Food and drug administration has warned that patients should be given a corticosteroid and antihistamine before infusions due to a high risk of allergic reaction. Other common side effects of Krystexxa are gout flare ups (which occurred in 80% of the recent trial participants), nausea and vomiting, chest pain, constipation, nasal irritation and bruising at the injection site.\nDrug Anti-inflammatory drugs non-steroidal (NSAID) is a type of painkiller is usually recommended as initial treatment to relieve symptoms of gout.\nNSAIDs work by reducing the amount of pain and inflammation.\nNSAIDs are often used to treat the the signs of gout include:\nWhen you start taking allopurinol, can sometimes cause gout attacks. It is not understood why this is happening, but it is almost always advisable to delay treatment with this drug for one to two weeks after the attacks of gout have been completed.\nYou can Find Additional Gout Diet Plan Dos and Don'ts on the Web\nIf your body can handle this, it is possible to augment your diet with some foods that have moderate levels of purines. These foods include, beef, pork, lamb, turkey, cauliflower and spinach. It's even okay to be able to eat the periodic high purine food item, assuming that you're not in the midst of a gout flare-up. Let your body be the judge.\nAnother important set of foods that you should stay away from is something that has bad fats, such as those found in red meat.\nA healthier option will be the fats found in fish or mackerel, thus these should be part of your diet instead of the red meats.\nWhen talking about remedies, self care is an important aspect of gout treatment and as such needs to be taken seriously without any sort of problem whatsoever.

        "raw_content": "You are at:Home\u00bbNews In Focus\u00bbGenetics\u00bbHelicobacter pylori causes gene activity in the gastric cells resembling the activity of cancer cells\nHelicobacter pylori causes gene activity in the gastric cells resembling the activity of cancer cells\nAround half of the global population is chronically infected with the stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori, almost 1% of whom go on to develop gastric adenocarcinoma, one of the deadliest forms of cancer.\nUsually it takes many decades for the cancer to develop, making it difficult to pinpoint exactly how it is linked to an infection. A team at the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Berlin, Germany, has now analyzed the pattern of damage that occurs in the genome of gastric cells early after infection and found that not only does this pattern differ from those induced by other genotoxic agents, but that it resembles the characteristic changes later seen in gastric cancer. While it has been widely accepted that this pathogen plays a role in the development of gastric cancer, these results represent an approach that can reveal a causality between a particular bacterial infection and the development of cancer in humans.\nSeveral bacterial infections are now suspected to play a role in the development of cancer but for none is the link so conclusively proven as for H. pylori, which can induce chronic gastritis and ulcer disease, and ultimately lead to the development of cancer. Scientists have known for years that H. pylori damages host DNA, but it was not clear whether this occurred randomly. The scientists from Berlin now found that while DNA damage induced by other means, such as irradiation or genotoxic chemicals, is indeed random, the damage caused by H. pylori is not.\nThe team around Thomas F. Meyer has been looking for tell-tale genetic fingerprints that might prove a causal connection between certain infections to cancer, and have now detected changes that look as if they may be just that. Their achievement was aided by the progress in international cancer sequencing programs, which revealed characteristic sets of mutations and genetic variations in different cancers. They further utilized a new method developed in the lab to cultivate normal humanstomach tissue. Previously scientists had to rely on cancerous cell lines to carry out such research, but the mutated genomes of these cells obscure early changes, which can be observed in still healthy cells.\nFirst, the researchers found that the activity of several genes responsible for recognizing and repairing damaged DNA is turned down during the course of the infection. This leads to an increased risk of DNA damage, followed by attachment of a protein named yH2AX to the damaged stretches of DNA. To capture the damaged sites in the human genome, the scientists isolated this protein and sequenced the DNA stretches attached to it. Comparing the damaged sites in normal cells before and after infection with H. pylori revealed that genes located close to the margins of the chromosomes, the so-called sub-telomeric regions, are more likely to be damaged after infection, as are genes that are active in gastric cells. When they analyzed how well this pattern matches mutations found in different types of cancer, gastric carcinoma \u2013 or stomach cancer \u2013 was the one that looked most similar.\nInterestingly, the only other cancer that showed a similar pattern was prostate cancer. The team around Thomas Meyer, together with Holger Brueggemann, now at Aarhus University in Denmark, has previously found an association between this type of cancer and another bacterium, Propionibacterium acnes. It thus seems possible that genetic fingerprints of infection may soon be able to provide more direct indications for the predicted role of certain bacterial pathogens in the cause of human cancers.\n[hr] Paper: \u201cHelicobacter pylori Infection Causes Characteristic DNA Damage Patterns in Human Cells\u201d DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2015.05.030",

        "title": "Israel: Neither Democratic or Jewish - Antiwar.com Original",
        "raw_content": "For decades, much of the political struggle within Israel could be traced back to the fundamental conflict anchored in its Janus-faced self-definition \u2013 coined in the 1980s and legally formalized in 1992 \u2013 as a \u201cJewish and democratic\u201d state. While centrist politicians have always emphasized the harmony of these two sets of values, the political wings have stressed their conflicts, with the left wing demanding to enhance democratic values against the Jewish values promoted predominantly by the right. This conflict has now ended in a clear, though somewhat unexpected result: celebrating 50 years of Occupation, Israel has become neither democratic, nor Jewish.\n\u201cThe Only Democracy in the Middle East\u201d?\nIsrael\u2019s vanishing democracy stands out even while the entire world is drifting away from democratic values. Netanyahu\u2019s coalition government is systematically emptying the country\u2019s democracy, passing a new law every other day aimed at intimidating and silencing any dissent voice.\nThus, whereas the right-wing enjoys major donations from abroad \u2013 from Sheldon Adelson to American evangelists to Jared Kushner \u2013 left-wing NGOs in Israel are being singled out and delegitimized, in a Putin-like manner, by a series of laws for \u201cbeing financed by foreign governments\u201d, and their activity is progressively hampered.\nA moderate left-wing NGOs like Breaking the Silence (former Israeli soldiers who talk critically about their occupation experience) is denied access to schools, with an art gallery closed after hosting an evening with it.\nIf several years ago it was radical Noam Chomsky who was not allowed to enter the West Bank, now a law prohibiting entry of all BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) supporters is coming up. Recently, even the vice president of a liberal Zionist Jewish-American organization that donates millions to Israel was detained at Ben-Gurion airport, undergoing hours of a humiliating interrogation with insinuations of \u201cdisloyalty\u201d.\nMuch more than leftists, government-directed violence and incitement is aimed at the 21% Palestinian minority in Israel, as can be seen in the recent incident in Umm al-Hiran, a Bedouin village in the South. Its inhabitants \u2013 Arab-Israeli citizens, some of them serving in the army \u2013 had been moved to that location sixty years ago by Israel, that now decided to dump them at yet another location in order to construct a Jewish suburb on the village ruins. Arriving to demolish the village armed to the teeth, Israeli forces claimed an ISIS-inspired resident accelerated his car towards the forces, killing one policeman, and consequently shot dead. This story \u2013 reminiscent of the terror attacks in Berlin and Nice \u2013 was immediately propagated by police and cabinet ministers in an outrageous campaign of incitement smeared all over the media and social media.\nBy now, however, pressed by NGOs and remnants of the critical journalism, investigation has revealed that the Bedouin car driver, an admired 50-year-old schoolteacher, had no affinity whatsoever to any Islamist radicalism, no intention to commit any attack, and was just leaving the village with some of his belongings after telling his wife (herself a PhD college professor) he didn\u2019t wish to witness the demolition of his home. He was first shot in his right knee by the police, consequently lost control of his car on the steep slope, and was finally left bleeding to death in his car, while police were preventing medical assistance that could have saved his life.\nThis is the typical treat Netanyahu\u2019s government is giving its Arab citizens: discrimination, ruthless violence, incitement and fake accusations. Remember how Netanyahu portrayed Israeli Palestinians as \u201cheading to the polling stations in droves, taken in buses by Left-wing NGOs\u201d in the last elections, how by the same token he passed a law to impeach elected Knesset members, and so on.\nIsrael\u2019s critical media too has been under fire for very long, pushing the country to place 101 in the 2016 World Press Freedom Index, next to Uganda and Kuwait, worse than Tunisia or Lebanon. Netanyahu is in control of the biggest Israeli daily, financed by his \u201cfriend\u201d Adelson, while several other media are owned by other rich \u201cfriends\u201d and allies or dependent on Netanyahu\u2019s authority as Minister of Communications. Freedom of speech has been amended to exclude calls for boycotting settlements or settlers, with a follow-up law now in consideration to cut funding to universities with lecturers who back such a boycott. The list is getting longer every day; That\u2019s not what democracy looks like.\nJewish? Not Anymore\nDoes this sellout of democracy go hand-in-hand with enhancing Israel\u2019s Jewish character? The very opposite is true. The Ten Commandments, the quintessence of Judaism, are permanently, consciously waived.\nHaving coveted their neighbors\u2019 lands, water and all other resources for decades, Israel has now replaced \u201cThou shalt not steal\u201d by the notorious \u201cRegularization Law\u201d, which only Ha\u2019aretz keeps referring to by its true designation: the Land-grab Law. This law \u2013 which even Netanyahu had claimed \u201cit would take us to [the International Criminal Court in] the Hague\u201d, but later, as a leader of principles, supported it \u2013 represents a new peak in the Israeli land-grabbing in Occupied Territory. So far, Palestinian lands have been massively confiscated if they could be declared \u201cstate lands\u201d with no private ownership \u2013 as if Israel were the state to whom the Palestinian occupied territories belonged. Other lands, including private ones, have been confiscated \u201cfor public use\u201d \u2013 for the construction of roads, industrial zones, military and security installations of any imaginable kind, and so on \u2013 with the \u201cpublic\u201d in mind being always the Jewish settlers, never the Palestinian inhabitants. All these methods and other dubious practices, however, have not satisfied the settlers\u2019 appetite, who have their houses built on undisputedly privately owned Palestinian land in dozens of Jewish settlements. The new Land-grab Law legitimizes this theft as well: now Israel sanctifies taking private lands from Palestinians not just \u201cfor public use,\u201d but also to build private homes for Jewish settlers. \u201cThou shalt not steal,\u201d settlers exempted.\nThe case of Elor Azaria shows how Israel waives the Commandment \u201cThou shall not kill\u201d as well \u2013 \u201cthou shall not murder\u201d in the Hebrew Bible. Azaria, a young soldier, arrived at a scene in occupied Hebron after a Palestinian had tried to stab a soldier and had been shot. The Palestinian was lying severely wounded on the ground, surrounded by many soldiers and constituting no danger to anybody, when Azaria cold-bloodedly shot him to death. Since the whole incident was recorded by cameras, cover-up failed and the soldier was put to trial. He was accused of man slaughter, not of murder, and sentenced to ridiculous 18 months in prison. More importantly, his trial exposed massive support for his crime not just among the rabble, but also by senior politicians up to PM Netanyahu. Not surprising, given that even a so-called liberal like MK Yair Lapid claimed \u201cyou have to shoot to kill anyone who pulls out a knife or screwdriver,\u201d not just the far-right-wing like Minister Bennett, who added \u201cI killed a lot of Arabs, and there\u2019s no problem with that.\u201d \u201cThou shall not kill\u201d \u2013 unless its Palestinians.\nBut Israel is no longer Jewish in yet another sense. And I don\u2019t mean the discrimination and persecution of non-Orthodox (Reform, Conservative) Jews in Israel; Judaism, like its other monotheistic successors, has never been famed for tolerance. What I mean is official Israel\u2019s stand towards anti-Semitism \u2013 what used to be the raison d\u2019etre of the Jewish state. Though President Trump himself cannot be accused of anti-Semitism, some of his supporters can, and anti-Semitic utterances and hate-crimes have taken place all along his election campaign, culminating in vandalized cemeteries, swastikas smeared and fake bomb threats in Jewish centers during his first weeks in office.\nFollowing a long Zionist-Israeli tradition, such incidents are widely reported, perhaps even over-reported, in the media: \u201cthe whole world is against us\u201d is something Israelis love to hear. The Israeli right-wing has always been especially eager to point a finger at true and alleged anti-Semites, be it Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the late grand mufti blamed by Nentayahu for no less than the Holocaust, or Europe in general. However, the Israeli right has turned a deaf ear to American anti-Semitism in the age of Trump. Even intentionally omitting any reference to Jews in the Holocaust Remembrance Day message remained without any Israeli comment. \u201cAn earthquake in the Jewish world,\u201d wrote Israeli sociologist Eva Illouz; \u201cNow, only liberal Jews in Israel and in the democratic world can claim to be the authentic opponents of anti-Semitism\u201d. Israel\u2019s ruling right-wing has by now waived even the most fundamental value of Jewish solidarity.\nThe Settlements Above Everything\nWhy did all that happen? Why has Israel stopped being democratic and Jewish? Because the Israeli state has by now been colonized by its own colonizers. The small minority of settlers and their extremist supporters have taken over most of the country\u2019s positions of power \u2013 the Knesset, the government, the military, the police, almost the entire media \u2013 and subjugated them to their immoral, fanatic colonialist project. New Supreme Court judges have just been nominated: even in this liberal stronghold, settlers are now over-represented by a factor of 3: less than 5% of the population, almost 15% among Supreme Court judges are settlers. Each of the anti-democratic and anti-Jewish measures mentioned above can be traced back to the interests of settlers and settlements \u2013 including the willingness to turn a blind eye on anti-Semitism in the new American government for the hope it would give Israel a green light to entrench the Occupation, to confiscate and annex even more Palestinian land. The settlements have always been the greatest obstacle to peace \u2013 even Mr. Trump understands the notion that \u201cevery time you take land for settlements, there is less land left\u201d \u2013 but now they destroy not only Israel\u2019s chance to live in peace, but also its very existence, and its justification, both as a democratic and as a Jewish state.\nPurim and Genocidal Phantasies \u2013 March 3rd, 2013\nPrevious Previous post: Chemical Attack in Mosul; 36 Killed in Iraq\nNext Next post: Can Anti-Interventionism Survive the Trump Era?",

        "raw_content": "\u201cI will make you fishers of men!\u201d\nSome people's lives revolve around fishing. They spend hours and hours taking care of their boat making sure everything is in good working order. They get out their tackle box and poles and make sure they are all set putting on just the right line, hooks and lures for what they want to catch.\nAfter that is done, they head for the ocean, lake or river to fish. Sometimes fishing is good and they come back with their limit but there are also times when they come back with nothing. They use the same bait and hooks as they used when they were successful but this time not so much as a nibble. There may be days where a fisherman will wait for hours before the fish finally start to bite. Fishing requires lots of patience and lots of work.\nWhen Jesus called His disciples to follow him, a number of them were fishermen. They didn't do it as a hobby but as a way to make a living. To these men Jesus came and said, \"Come, follow me and I will make you fishers of men\" (Mk 1:17).\n\u2018Fishers of men\u2019 is a term Jesus used to talk about the work of evangelism, reaching out to the lost with the gospel. He obviously used that term because there were similarities between fishing for fish and doing the work of an evangelist. It's not hard to understand what these similarities are. Just as a fisherman goes out to catch fish so we are to go out and seek to \"catch men.\" God wants us to go out and seek to win men and women for Christ.\nWe know from Scripture that it is God who brings people to faith. I Corinthians 12:3 says, \"...and no one can say that `Jesus is Lord,' except by the Holy Spirit.\" But we also know that someone can't believe in Jesus if they don't hear about him. Paul makes this clear in Romans 10:17, \"Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.\"\nCatching a fish, I mean winning a soul for Christ, is not something we can do. Bringing people to faith is the work of the Holy Spirit. Our part or should we say, our privilege is to bring the good news of salvation to others. God says that they cannot believe in someone of whom they have not heard.\nFish don't just jump in the boat. Neither do people simply believe in the true God unless someone share the message of salvation with them. That's what God wants you to do.\nWe are not all called, like Peter and Andrew, to do this work full time. But we are all called to be his witnesses full time. We may not be called to be a pastor or foreign missionary but let us never forget that God wants each of us to be ready to share the Savior with those we meet. We never know when one of these fish will take the bait. I mean, we never know when someone, by the grace of God, will come to faith.\nWe all know how exciting it is to catch a fish. Just think of the joy we would have if someone came to know the Savior through our witness! Let your light shine! Share your faith!",

        "raw_content": "About Pangaea International, LLC...\nPangaea International, LLC is a service provider for organizations that exchange students and short-term professionals. SimplicityPro\u2122 is a web-based \"virtual office\" that is developed and owned by Pangaea.\nGreg C. White - Pangaea partner, President\nIn the early 1990s, Greg saw a growing need for the student exchange community, a service/product that would allow programs to interact seamlessly and without boundaries, a system that could streamline data, crosscheck the information collected, flag any data errors, monitor, track and report with precise detail the whole exchange experience, providing the highest levels of personal care to all of its participants. With high expectations he began the creation and development of what is known today as Pangaea International, LLC.\nAs President of United Studies Inc. (a student exchange program), Greg has 17 years of experience in the international field of student exchange and has hands-on knowledge of the dataflow needs of the industry. In addition, Greg's commitment to the exchange community has led him to be actively involved with Council on Standards for International and Educational Travel (CSIET) since 1988 and is currently serving his 6th year on the Board of Directors. Greg's experience as a program operator and his involvement with CSIET has allowed him to stay abreast of the latest changes and trends in the industry giving him an unsurpassed knowledge of the exchange community as well as the knowledge to create and produce the products and services needed today and for the future.\n\"The exchange community has a high level of what I call the 'people factor,' meaning things don't always happen the way we want them to. What SimplicityPro\u2122 does is help streamline and monitor that 'people factor,' providing professional program operations for a safer, more rewarding exchange experience for all of the program participants. Even the administrative experience is a better one. After all, isn't that what we are all striving for, a better way to do business?\"\nJohn Ragland - Pangaea partner, Director of Development\nJohn has been delivering innovative Information Technology solutions, to the widest audiences possible, for more than two decades. Before PCs were commonplace in the business world, he designed a mainframe-based suite of office productivity tools (word processing, database, and spreadsheet) that gave workers in the energy industry the same PC-like, self-service capabilities we now take for granted. John's first PC application (using sales statistics to forecast success/failure probabilities during on-site negotiations) was deployed throughout North America.\nMoving from energy to healthcare, John became a passionate advocate for asserting the priority of data quality in software design (see our design section for a brief explanation). Since Y2K, John has been applying his \"data before design, function before form\" approach to developing web-based intranet applications for hospitals. Someone once described a hospital as a collection of disparate businesses (lab, pharmacy, radiology, etc.) connected only by a common heating and air conditioning system. John's intranet applications allowed - for the first time - different hospitals, departments, work shifts, and outlying clinics to communicate and work together in ways that were never before possible.\nBringing healthcare's high standards for data security and patient confidentiality to the world of exchange, SimplicityPro\u2122 represents a unique opportunity for you to collaborate in a similar online setting with your students, families, partners, and others, in ways you may never have considered possible. SimplicityPro\u2122 is a bon voyage to virtual destinations limited only by human imagination. The crew at Pangaea invite you to come aboard and chart your organization's destiny with SimplicityPro\u2122 today...\nPangaea International, LLC is headquartered in Hot Springs National Park (America's first, 40 years older than Yellowstone). 478 years ago, Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto named this area \"The Valley of Peace\" after discovering warring Indian tribes who laid down their weapons to share the \"recuperative waters\" found here.\nThat was way back in 1541. Today, in 2019, SimplicityPro\u2122 carries on Hot Springs' long tradition of hospitality to you and your organization. Wherever, whenever you are in our global, Internet-connected exchange community.\nPangaea International, LLC\n100 Ridgeway, Suite 1A\nE-mail: or (or use our contact form)\nWhat does the name \"Pangaea\" mean?\nHave you ever noticed how South America and Africa seem to fit together? If you have, you aren't alone. Sir Francis Bacon first noticed it in the 17th century. In 1915, the German geologist and meteorologist Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) proposed the existence of an original, gigantic supercontinent which he named Pangaea (which means \"all lands\" in Greek).\nThe original Pangaea represents a theory about how the continents slowly drifted apart. The new Pangaea and SimplicityPro\u2122 represent a dedication to the ideal of reversing that drift by reconnecting nations and peoples virtually, building bridges of communication and collaboration that span physical, political, language, and cultural barriers.\nBack: SimplicityPro\u2122 home...",

        "title": "\"My Experience with Donald Healey\"",
        "raw_content": "Bill Moseley with Donald M. Healey, 1984\nI was very fortunate to know Donald M. Healey in 1984. I was a Navy Commander stationed in Washington, D.C. on Presidential Support duties. One afternoon I returned home to Bolling AFB and received a phone call from my friend, Bruce Phillips, owner of Healey Surgeons. He asked me if I wanted to \"come over and see Donald Healey.\" I asked if he had a movie or something and Bruce replied, \"No, he's sitting right here.\" Of course I zoomed right over in my '64 Healey Mk III. There, all by himself, was DMH, in person, just sitting there in a long sleeved white shirt! He had only recently arrived. I had some experience with the Royal Navy and called him \"Sir Donald\", even though his title, Commander of the British Empire\" wasn't officially \"sir\". I walked up the street and bought him a cup of coffee and we really hit it off. It turned out that we had an important commonality... not the cars, but aviation. Sir Donald went to great lengths explaining how much trouble he had keeping his Sopwith in the air during WW1. (I don't remember how old he said he was but he was just a teenager.) He often had to find an open place to land the plane, crawl out to made repairs and then back into the air. I asked him how he survived the war (as so many did not). He related that \"everyone on the ground shot at everything in the air...great sport\" and said it was probably from the British that he took a hit and that wounds received and hospital time probably saved his life.\nAt the time I hadn't read a lot about DMH and asked the same dumb questions. I had only bought the car in '81 from a Marine Major who worked for me here in N.A.S. Pensacola. (When I finished Navy Aviation Officer Candidate School in the mid '60's, I sold my Lotus S2R. After a string of British Cars, no Healeys, I just moved on.) He mentioned that he was flying out to visit Carroll Shelby (CS). I didn't know that CS drove for him. He said that \"he drove so hard that he would bend the accelerator pedal\". I asked why CS didn't use the Healey to build the Cobra. I recall that he said that he told CS that he really didn't want to go through all that and recommended the A.C. company to him. I told him that I knew that Sterling Moss drove for him and he related Sterling's dedication and professionalism but mostly that he really knew how to party.\nI had my book with me which was written by Geoffrey Healey, Austin Healey - The Story Of The Big Healeys (1978, Dodd, Mead & Company New York) which I hadn't read over too closely at the time. DMH leafed through it and made comment on the pictures (he said his favorite car was the forge Sprite). On page 117, he saw a photo of himself with Count Aymo Maggi (the driving force behind the Mille Miglia) seated in a 1958 Sprite. DMH became curiously reflective and told me how much he missed the late Count Maggi, whose castle-like facilities in Brescia were put at his disposal. When the Sprite came out, Count Maggi was kind enough to put his considerable weight behind its presentation. I am looking at my prized book right now. DMH took it from me and wrote, \"To Bill, Wishing you many more happy 'Healey' miles.\"\nThis led to Geoffrey... I told DMH that, \" I saw Geoffrey in the early '60's at Sebring. He wasn't too hard to miss because of his giant mustache. It wasn't something that everybody had back then.\" He thought that was funny and related that the mustache was because of a scar that Geoff received when he was a small boy. Playing cowboys and on his front porch, Geoff was shot in the mouth by a home made arrow! DMH also said that \"Geoffrey runs the racing\". (At the time I didn't know that Geoffrey wasn't his only son.) I asked him what became of the streamliner in which he set a world record. He said, sort of off hand, that all the salt just corroded it away.\nDMH wanted to see my car. I was a little hesitant because I had done some \"non issue\" things. I found that DMH was an innovator, not a museum curator. If he liked something, he would say so and the reverse if he didn't. For example, I had a pair of plastic rear view mirrors mounted flush on the car and painted to match. He commented that he would have used them but couldn't get that sort of thing back then and had to settle for the ones he did use! I asked him if he would like to sit in my car and he said, \"Why, I believe I should\" and climbed in. I asked him if he wanted to drive it and he said, \"I can't reach the pedals\". Fortunately I had my camera and made several photos of him, with a great smile, seated in my Healey.\nWhat an interesting man, indeed. The more I read and find out about him, the more fascinating and interesting he becomes. I find it hard to believe that the polite, friendly, happy man that I was privileged to know was all of those great things!\n-Bill Moseley\n<- Back to PBCA main page | PBCA Members cars page",

The march organizers, as was the case in the extraordinary DC march, were primarily high school students. It was so inspiring to march from our City Hall, up Congress Avenue to the Capitol and to hear all the speakers, including a student from Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS in Parkland, Fla. and students from LASA and LBJ High Schools in Austin.\nI hope that students will continue to think critically about all aspects of gun violence, including the terrible gun violence of US war and militarism. Enlistees as young as 17 are issued assault rifles and trained to think of their weapon as their most valuable companion. What does this kind of training do to young people? Why are the mass shootings in war considered acceptable? As the US continues to increase military spending in its federal budget, what effect does this have on the young people in our country and around the world?\nLabels: Nonviolence, What's happening in Austin",

        "title": "Cyber Security Common Concerns for ICT Users By -Tahira Islam \u2013 Perspective",
        "raw_content": "With the rapid growth of internet (also known as cyberspace) and internet applications, there is also a rapid increase in security incidents. In the context of computer science, computer security, also known as cyber security, is the prevention of, or protection against \u2013\nn Theft or damage to the hardware, software.\nn Access to information by unauthorized recipients.\nn Intentional but unauthorized destruction or alteration of that information.\nSo, how internet security is compromised? There are a few common methods used by malicious attackers such as bailing, phishing, Trojan horse, ransomware etc. that falls under several broad categories.\nSocial Engineering: Social Engineering is a kind of security attack that relies heavily on human interaction. Such kind of attacks often involves tricking people into breaking security procedures. Social engineering is also called \u201ccon game\u201d of the network. A social engineer is someone who uses deception, persuasion, and influence to get information that would otherwise be unavailable. A social engineer relies on people\u2019s willingness to be helpful. For example, the social engineer might pretend to be a co-worker who has some kind of urgent problem that requires access to additional network resources. Popular types of social engineering attacks include:\nBaiting: Baiting is when an attacker leaves a malware-infected physical device, such as a USB flash drive in a well accessed place where it is guaranteed to be found. The finder then picks up the device and loads it onto his or her computer, unintentionally installing the malware.\nPhishing: Phishing is when a malicious party sends a sham email disguised as a legitimate email, often implying to be from a trusted source. Such email is meant to trick the recipient into sharing personal or financial information or clicking on a link that installs malware.\nSpear phishing: Spear phishing is like phishing, but it targets a specific individual or organization.\nPretexting: Pretexting is when one party lies to another party to gain access to privileged data. For example, a pretexting scam could involve an attacker who pretends to need personal or financial data in order to confirm the identity of the recipient.\nScareware: Scareware involves tricking the victim into thinking his computer is infected with malware or has inadvertently downloaded illegal content. The attacker then offers the victim a solution that will fix the bogus problem. In reality, the victim is simply tricked into downloading and installing the attacker\u2019s malware.\nReverse social engineering: Reverse social engineering has three steps: sabotage, advertising, and assisting. It is a person-to-person attack in which the social engineer convinces the target that he or she has a problem or might face a certain problem in the future and the social engineer is ready to help solve the problem. If this reverse social engineering is performed well enough to convince the target, he often calls the social engineer and asks for help. The Reverse social engineeringsteps are described as follows:\nIn the first step, a social engineer finds a way to sabotage a network. This can be as complex as launching a network attack against a target website, or as simple as sending an email from a sham email address telling users that they are infected with a virus. No matter what technique is employed, the social engineer has either sabotaged the network or given the impression that the network is sabotaged.\nIn the second step, the social engineer advertises himself as a person of authority,skilled in solving the problem. This can be done by various means such as dropping business cards, or sending emails that advertise his services.\nIn the final step, the attacked party sees the advertisement, contacts the engineer under the false pretense that the social engineer is a legitimate consultant, and allows the social engineer to work on the network. The engineer has successfully gained the trust of the target and obtains access to sensitive information such as confidential data.\nVirus:A computer virus is much like a flu virus. It is designed to spread from host to host and has the ability to replicate itself. In more technical terms, a computer virus is a type of malicious software program or malware that, when executed, replicates by reproducing itself (copying its own source code) or infecting other computer programs by modifying them. The programs can include any sort of files, or the boot sector of the hard drive. A boot sector is a physical sector on a hard drive that includes information about how to start the boot process in order to load an operating system.\nIn today\u2019s constantly connected world, a user can obtain a computer virus in many ways. Viruses can be spread through email and text message attachments, Internet file downloads, social media scam links, and even mobile devices. Smartphones can become infected with mobile viruses through shady App downloads. Viruses can hide disguised as attachments of socially shareable content such as funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files.\nWorm: A computer worm is a standalone malware computer program that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers. Worms utilize computer network to spread itself, exploiting vulnerabilities, relying on security failures on the target computer to access it. It causes harm by consuming bandwidth, deleting files or sending documents via email. Unlike a computer virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Computer worms pose a significant threat due to the potential damage they might cause. A particularly notorious incident occurred in 1988 when a computer worm named the Morris worm caused millions of dollars in damage, and its creator was convicted under for this act.\nTrojan horse: The term comes from Greek mythology about the Trojan War. In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy where the Greeks concealed themselves into a hollow wooden statue of horse (also known as Trojan horse) in order to enter Troy by stealth. During the night, soldiers who had been hiding inside the horse emerged, opened the city\u2019s gates to let their fellow soldiers in and then overran the city, thus winning the war. In computing, a Trojan horse is any malicious computer program which is used to hack into a computer by misleading users of its true intent. Simply put, a Trojan horse is a program in which malicious or harmful code is contained inside apparently harmless programming or data. Attackers use Trojan horse as a way to trick end users into installing malware. Usually, the malware is hidden within an innocent-looking email attachment or a free program such as a game. When the user downloads the Trojan horse, the malware that is hidden inside is also downloaded. Once inside the computing device, the malicious code can execute whatever task the attacker designed it to carry out.\nRansomware: Ransomware is a malware that restricts access to the infected computer system, demanding that the user pays a ransom to the malware operators to remove the restriction. There are different types of ransomware such as lockscreen ransomware and encryption ransomware. However, all of them will prevent the infected computer system from operating normally. Ransomware can:\nPrevent the infected user from accessing Windows.\nn Encrypt files so the user can\u2019t use them.\nn Stop certain applications from running (like the web browser).\nThere have been a number of major cyber-attacks in the recent years. The most discussed one in Bangladesh is the $81M Bangladesh Bank Heist. On February 4, 2016 unknown hackers used SWIFT credentials of Bangladesh Central Bank employees to send more than three dozen fraudulent money transfer requests to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, asking the bank to transfer millions of the Bangladesh Bank\u2019s funds to bank accounts in the Philippines, Sri Lanka and other parts of Asia. SWIFT is a consortium that operates a trusted and closed computer network for communication between member banks around the world. By targeting the SWIFT network, the hackers undermined a system that until now was considered as flawless.\nSo, how did the attackers compromised SWIFT? There are a number of reasons. But the most highlighted ones were:\nInsiders may have cooperated.\nLax computer security practices at Bangladesh Bank were to blame. The bank reportedly didn\u2019t have firewalls installed on its networks, raising the possibility that hackers may have breached the network and found the credentials stored on the system.\nThat insane?\nIn 2012, there have been major data breaches. LinkedIn, MySpace, Tumblr were among the attacked services. Databases with their users\u2019 credentials went for sale on the dark web, leaving a total of around 500 million accounts exposed. LinkedIn was one of the first major social networks to be hacked. LinkedIn was hacked by an unknown Russian entity, and six million user credentials were leaked online.\nMark Zuckerberg\u2019s (Founder and CEO of Facebook) social-media accounts got hacked because his password was terrible. Facebook Inc.\u2019s first \u201csecurity tip\u201d for the users is, \u201cDon\u2019t use your Facebook password anywhere else online.\u201d Zuckerberg seemed to have reused the password: \u201cdadada,\u201d. The password had appeared in the database of more than 100 million usernames and passwords stolen in 2012 from LinkedIn Corp. The passwords may be several years old, but they can still be useful to hackers, who then use them to try to break into other accounts, hoping that they will stumble on users like Mr. Zuckerberg, who reuse their passwords.\nTo many users, computer security is treated as a joke until a serious problem arises. At that point, a breach in security can cause huge and potentially harmful problems to the user such as identity theft or stealing of confidential data like credit card number. A few simple steps can be employed by the network users to prevent malicious attacks.\nImplementing strong passwords is the easiest thing the user can do to strengthen his security. Proper password practices can be:\nn Using non-personal information\nn Using uncommon information\nn Using a combination of characters\nn Ensuring sufficient length\nn Ensuring uniqueness\nn Correlating complexity with risk\nPutting up a strong firewall: Firewalls are an important security protection. Firewall sits between a computer (ora local network) and another network (such as the Internet), controlling the incoming and outgoing network traffic. With a firewall, the firewall\u2019s rules determine which traffic is allowed through and which isn\u2019t.\nInstalling Antivirus protection:Antivirus refers to the traditional means of fighting computer malware. It gives a real time protection safeguarding the computer from threats and other malicious attacks.\nUpdating programs regularly: Making sure the computer is \u201cproperly patched and updated\u201d is a necessary step towards being fully protected, there\u2019s little or no point in installing all these great software if the system is not going to maintain it right.\nBackup regularly: Scheduling regular backups to an external hard drive, or in the cloud, is an effective way to ensure that all the important data is stored safely. Getting such data compromised is a painful experience \u2013 trust me, I know.\nBe careful with email, instant messaging (IM) and surfing the Web: It is not uncommon for an unsuspecting user to click on a link or download an attachment that they believe is harmless. A user should never click on a link that he wasn\u2019t expecting or don\u2019t know the origination of the e-mail or IM. The user should take every \u201cwarning box\u201d that appears on the screen seriously and understand that every new piece of software comes with its own set of vulnerabilities.\nEducation: A user should educate himself on different types of cyber-attack and know how to protect himself against them. Education is the first step in creating awareness.\nThe easiest way to get into a computer system is simply to ask permission. At the end of the day, no matter how much encryption and security technology such as firewall, virtual private networks (VPNs) is implemented in the device, a network is never completely secure, mostly because it is impossible to get rid of the weakest link \u2013 the human factor. Security awareness training can go a long way towards preventing security attacks. If people know what forms security attacks are likely to take, they will be less likely to become victims.\nTahira Islam is a software engineer and an emerging entrepreneur.\nMaintenance and Inheritance A Concrete Shield of Women in Islam By -Shaikhul Islam Imran",

Apple's IOS8 and Google's Android L both encrypt user data if the user selects a pass-phrase, making it inaccessible to 3rd parties.\nBut in a move reminiscent of the Clinton-era clipper chip initiative (which would have required all cryptographic software to provide the US Government with unfettered access to your encrypted data) US Law enforcement agencies are pushing back, calling for Apple and Google to weaken or eliminate the new security features. U.S. Justice Department and FBI officials are trying to understand how the new Apple and Google Android systems work and how the companies could change the encryption to make it accessible when court ordered.\nThis comes after years of the FBI, TSA, ICE, and police departments across the country routinely appropriating all the data on personal electronic devices, without a warrant, of anyone they stopped to search for any reason. Only recently have some of these warrant-less searches been ruled illegal by unanimous supreme court decision.",

        "raw_content": "Alec Baldwin interested in congressional run\nCNN's David de Sola\nAlec Baldwin told Playboy Magazine that he would 'love to run against Joe Lieberman.'\nWASHINGTON (CNN) - Emmy Award winner Alec Baldwin is eyeing a post-acting career that could take him off a Hollywood soundstage into the halls of Congress.\nBaldwin, who currently stars in the NBC comedy \"30 Rock,\" told Playboy magazine that he is seriously considering running for Congress. But he acknowledged his opponents would have plenty of fodder to use against him.\n\"I'll put it this way,\" he told the magazine. \"The desire is there; that's one component. The other component is opportunity.\"\nA native New Yorker, Baldwin said he has been approached by an unnamed Democratic law firm who wanted him to run for governor of Ohio, and he has also considered moving to New Jersey or Connecticut to run for office. \"I'd love to run against Joe Lieberman,\" Baldwin said of the Independent Democratic senator who is no favorite of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party. But Baldwin dismissed the idea, saying \"It's all fantasy.\"\nIn the interview, he emphasized his New York roots, and noted the unpredictable nature of politics, citing Gov. Eliot Spitzer and Sen. Hillary Clinton's resignations.\nHe also asked hypothetical questions about the future of Sen. Chuck Schumer, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Rep. Tim Bishop.\n\"How much longer will Chuck Schumer stay as senator? After 2013 Bloomberg will be gone. What happens then? Do I run for Congress on Long Island? What's Tim Bishop going to do? He represents my district. People get sick, die. They're offered lucrative deals and want to cash in and make money for their retirement. People misstep,\" he said. \"Unfortunately, an opportunity for me may mean bad things for someone else. I don't wish that.\"\nAsked if he had ever turned down a sketch on Saturday Night Live, because it was too outrageous, Baldwin responded, \"Probably a few. It's hard to remember. I'm often asked if I think about going into politics. If I do, these guys will have a field day. I've given them so much crap to use against me\u2026 If I run for political office, they'll have a forest of material to kill me with.\"\nFiled under: Extra \u2022 Popular Posts",

        "raw_content": "Program Responsiveness to Student and Community Needs\nThe School of Professional Studies, housing the Education and Educational Psychology Department, has representation at the meetings of the Western Connecticut Superintendent\u2019s Association (WCSA). This connection has meant that these administrators receive a regular report about the EdD Program\u2019s activities and the WCSA members have been asked to provide WestConn with feedback concerning the needs of the instructional leaders in their schools. For example, in a general list of suggestions made prior to the beginning of the program, the WCSA commented that this doctoral degree presented an opportunity to create a new vision of professionalism in education with an emphasis on instruction, a strong inquiry base among educators, and a focus on the multiple roles of leaders at the building and district levels. These considerations were fully taken into account in the development of the curriculum for this degree program and continue to drive program revisions.\nIn addition, a direct request was made by the WCSA membership to the EdD Program administrators to add the certification for Intermediate Administration and Supervision (Endorsement #092) to WestConn\u2019s EdD Program. This certification was described by the superintendents as being a vital addition to the EdD Program. They stated that the role of instructional leader in many schools includes positions such as department chair, which requires the 092 certification. As our students have progressed through WestConn\u2019s EdD in Instructional Leadership Program they reported being called upon as experts in instruction, curriculum, assessment, professional development, counseling, and research in their schools. These students in the EdD program also made a statement that they supported the 092 Certificate as an important addition to their program. As a result of these recommendations, WestConn chose to pursue the 092 certification for its doctoral students, which was subsequently approved by the Connecticut State Department of Education and the Connecticut Board of Governors for Higher Education in September 2007.",

        "raw_content": "25.02.2018 Kele\n...\ufeffNoughts and Crosses by MalorieBlackmanNoughts and Crosses is an amazing novel written by MalorieBlackman, about a world that is divided in two, the dark skinned crosses and the light skinned noughts. Crosses are the most privileged race and are the rulers, noughts are slaves to the crosses and are second class citizens that are treated very poorly, quite a lot like what\u2019s happening in our world today but if the race and class were switched. Sephy is one of the main characters, she is a cross and a daughter to Kamal Hadley, who is very powerful and has a lot of control over the world. Callum is a nought, a son of Maggie McGregor, which is Sephy\u2019s nanny. Their close childhood friendship slowly turns into love, and becomes stronger the older they get. I was amazed and happy that Sephy and Callum continued to secretly see each other even after Maggie lost her job as Sephy\u2019s nanny, and even though they were forced to lie and make up excuses so they could meet each day, I think it\u2019s incredible how much they would do for each other, no matter how difficult it is, and this shows me to be dedicated and have trust in others even when things are tough, but this can also show that most secrets cannot last forever and sometimes they may need to be told for the best. In the novel,...\nNoughts and Crosses- Malorie Blackman The book Noughts and Crosses is a sitting on the fence sort of book for me. The writing of it hooked you in and made you think but I absolutely hated what happened in the end. The plot was good but as I said I didn\u2019t like some things that occurred during the novel, like the fact Callum dying made me want to scream and rip my hair out (I did restrain myself by the way). But the fact that I did want to do that was because you grew attached to the characters, as if they were real people. Even if they\u2019re not, they could be in the future, you never know\u2026 ) I hated/ loved that about the book. My favourite characters would have to be the guys of Callum\u2019s family, especially Callum. Partly because of his complete \u2018it is how it is\u2019 attitude and his loyalty. Even though most people probably hated Jude, I quite liked him. He had a tough attitude, but really he was quite vulnerable, especially at the end when he\u2019s pretty much lost all his family because of the Crosses.\nI also held quite a fair bit of respect (for a book character anyway) for Ryan, Callum\u2019s dad. His courage for taking the consequences of Jude\u2019s slight slip up, originally resulting in him going to the gallows to hang. Even though he ended up not hanging he walked up to the gallows expecting death. And not backing down from it; accepting death so his family could live. I didn\u2019t like Sephy particularly; in fact I hated her to be honest.\nI didn\u2019t like the choices that she made; choosing the baby over Callum. I most certainly disliked her parents, most of all her father. But I started to tolerate her mother near the end when you find out she paid for the lawyer to help Ryan. My favourite scene would have to be\u2026. I actually don\u2019t have a favourite scene, lol\u2026 The setting of the book was based sometime in the future; it hasn\u2019t happened and is a possibility, who knows, it could happen (shudder). I think the book was targeted at teens.\nI also think that Malorie Blackman swapped the places of the people in charge so people would feel or imagine what it would be like if we were in their place, seeing as one of the main themes was racism. A few other themes were sacrifice, love and friendship and another main one,-death. Sacrifice and death made a big part of this book, constantly having to choose between love, family, religion and your race. It was a massive balancing act for the two main characters, Sephy and\nCallum, who you got to study in depth of how they thought and what choices they always had to make as they were constantly switching between characters\u2019 point of views; that\u2019s how the book was written, in points of view. I think this book inspires a whole pile of \u2018what if? \u2019 questions; it\u2019s not too hard to imagine how much our lives would be different, and not by a little. I think she\u2019s really trying to make us look deeper into the racism that surrounds this book. Even though it is made up, the more you think about it, the possibility of it happening is actually quite possible, scarily enough.

        "raw_content": "Comments below have quite rightly pointed out that we didn't go from 0 to 70 in 1979, that there had been precursors, such as the retrograde police reforms of 1964, and the monstrous local government reorganisation of 1974, and the great social changes of the 60s and early 70s that reverbrated amongst a newly Godless society. However, I hold that the late 70s - and 1979 seems right on the button - marked the beginning of a period of change of quite a different order.\nThe baby boomers, the dominant population cohort of our lifetimes, born during the '50s, reached young adulthood in the late 70s. In their testosterone fuelled 20s and 30s, they were the beneficiaries of Thatcherite opportunities, and they grabbed the 80s with both hands. They were also the beneficiaries of 60s liberalism, and though the contraceptive pill was as available as aspirin by the 70s, it was the boomers who pushed bastardy through the gates from 1979 - leaving us with a massive problem now from the underclass that they bred (see below).\nAnd it was Thatcher's war on local government - on the independence of her own Conservative councils as well as the rainbow coalitions of the nuclear-free Left - that did more than anything to establish the corrosive Central State and establish the poisonous metropolitan political class. She stopped listening to Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon and stopped reading Hayek. It was the start of 'big government', to the dismay of her former advisors;\nAlas, you need government, but big government is subject to such flaws, incorrigible flaws. Big government is irresponsible government because they can\u2019t know all the circumstances of the nation, the society, the families that they are administering. Big government leads to all kinds of deals, backstage deals about policies, and all the time they are governed not by the public interest, but by the self-interest of the politicians to maintain their power. You need politicians, but the more you can contain politicians to the central tasks they have to do, the less you tempt them into this vote-grabbing, this corruption and deceit which is inseparable from modern, mass, undiscriminating democratic politics.\nThatcher forgot Burkean remedies and neglected the little platoons. As Blond has it;\nConservatives who believe in value, culture and truth should therefore think twice before calling themselves liberal. Liberalism can only be a virtue when linked to a politics of the common good, a problem which the best liberals\u2014Mill, Adam Smith and Gladstone\u2014recognised but could never resolve. A vision of the good life cannot come from liberal principles. Unlimited liberalism produces atomised relativism and state absolutism. Insofar as both the Tories and Labour have been contaminated by liberalism, the true left-right legacy of the postwar period is, unsurprisingly, a centralised authoritarian state and a fragmented and disassociative society.\nI know there are those who bristle at the slightest criticism of the Blessed St Margaret, and she is in truth a giant amongst politicians, a Statesman of international dimension and the most important political figure in Britain since Churchill, but even our idols have feet of clay, and Thatcher's was her part in the establishment of the Leviathan that is now strangling the nation.\nSo I'll stick with 1979.\nLabels: 1979, thatcher\nwell you know my view, R, it was the 1977 Homeless Persons Act\nwhich is entirely consistent with '1979' because these things take a while to achieve lift-off\nI am of youir opinion I feel with Margaret Thacther that she was at heart a Conservatuve who slowly became soemthing else . She started on the left of the Party\nDo you have a demographic breakdown of the bastardy rate? I'd suspect it's concentrated in blacks and chavs, with a smattering of \"empowered\" women.\nThis is the single biggest reason for the epidemic of crime, lawlessness and low taste in british culture - no strong male role models and the gradual disenfranchisment of males from their children.\nMatriarchy destroys civilisation faster than any other plague, as the Romans, Spartans and Babylonians all found to their cost.",

Photo \u00a9 Craig Quirolo/Reef Relief/Marine Photobank\nA disease is classified as any impairment of vital body functions, systems, or organs. Diseases are a natural aspect of coral populations and are one mechanism by which population numbers are kept in check. Disease involves an interaction between the coral host, a pathogen, and the reef environment.\nCoral diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, protozoa, or fungi, and can cause significant changes in reproduction rates, growth rates, community structure, species diversity, and abundance of reef-associated organisms. ref\nCoral diseases have increased in frequency, intensity, and geographic range over the last several decades. Scientists do not know if the emergence of disease outbreaks is due to the introduction of novel pathogens or due to changes in existing pathogens that may be caused by deteriorating environmental impacts and/or reduced host resistance. Scientists do know, however, that coral diseases combined with hurricane damage, coral bleaching, and other stressors are resulting in widespread coral mortality.\nMany coral diseases have not been thoroughly characterized and the causative agents of many diseases remain unknown. This is still an area of active research. Understanding the causes (including environmental drivers and modes of transmission) and impacts of coral diseases is essential to help managers understand how current reef management practices and human impacts affect the spread and severity of diseases, and make informed management decisions. The global increase in coral diseases presents serious concerns for coral reef managers and stewards of tropical marine ecosystems.\nGlobal Coral Disease Database Disease Resources\nCoral Disease and Health Consortium",

        "raw_content": "As CMOS technology enters the nanometer-regime, one of the most fundamental challenges will result from the loss of predictability of design behavior due to both variations during manufacturing and interferences between components during normal operation. As features on the die continue to shrink, control of the physical parameters, such as the feature size of transistors, their doping levels, and oxide thickness, will become increasingly difficult to control, resulting in dramatic increased uncertainty in the electrical characteristics of individual devices. Also, the close proximity of devices to each other will give rise to significant interference from elements surrounding a device, due to inductive and capacitive coupling, and due to environmental factors, such as power supply and temperature fluctuations. The increase in the number of uncertainties, as well as their severity will result in a general loss of predictability in nanometer-CMOS design and will threaten the ability to produce robust designs. <br/><br/>In this project, we are developing a statistical framework for analysis and optimization of system performance, power, and functional integrity, as well as their newly emerging trade-offs in nanometer design. In the presence of variations due to process fluctuations and environmental interferences, signals are inherently stochastic as are the basic measures of design quality, such as delay and power. The research is therefore investigating the development of stochastic models for performance metrics that capture their dependence on the various sources of uncertainty. The new design methodology will focus on robustness as a new measure of design quality, including delay, power consumption and measures of functional integrity, and will allow these design objectives to be constrained at prescribed levels of confidence. Furthermore, the research team is considering new methods for simultaneous optimization of performance, energy, and functional integrity that effectively exploit new trade-offs and interactions between these objectives in nanometer design.",

        "raw_content": "By detailed field work and modeling, the late Quaternary sediment record in Illinois will be investigated to determine the origin of subglacial tills that were deposited in the marginal area of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Massive, homogenous diamictons that classically have been interpreted to be lodgement till may instead have originated primarily through subglacial deformation in a deforming bed. Reconstructions of the Lake Michigan Lobe profile in Illinois and preliminary field study of glacigenic sediment are consistent with evidence of a deforming bed that has been suggested on theoretical grounds. Methods will consist of two summers of detailed sedimentological and structural study of carefully selected sites, focusing on differentiating subglacial till that is relatively undeformed from till that has experienced internal deformation by pervasive subglacial shearing to large strains. Further analysis will consist of: (1) geotechincal analyses in order to evaluate rheological parameters of the till; (2) determining sediment transport fluxes during the maximum of the last glaciation and comparing those data will data derived from different models of glacial transport; and (3) numerical modeling of the Lake Michigan Lobe ice-till system. The results of this research will have significant implications for interpreting the origin of massive, homogenous till units in mid-latitude regions, as well as for understanding and modeling the dynamics of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.",

        "raw_content": "Written by Justin Atkinson in October 2014\nCalling themselves the Roundtown Players, they produced William Inge\u2019s \u201cPicnic\u201d in the barn at the Pickaway Country Club in August of 1967. 11 actors were found for the roles and 15 people were listed in the program as production staff. The production lasted three performances, with the final being standing room only, according to an article in Pickaway County, Ohio History, and Families 1810-2005 at the Pickaway County Historical Library. With this success, the members decided to formalize the group and they soon became a not-for-profit community theater.\nThe Roundtown Players produced several shows between 1967 and 1970 at the Pickaway Country Club, the old High School on South Court Street as well as a production of Agatha Christie\u2019s \u201cWitness for the Prosecution\u201d at the Common Pleas Courtroom. Still, they were searching for a permanent space to grow.\nThe Teen Canteen had been utilizing the second-floor space at Memorial Hall for some time but decided to disband after a lack of leadership and lowering interest from the local youth. Originally designed for veteran soldiers to practice drills, with a balcony for the public to watch, the space already had a stage, though small, and ample room for seating and storage. In 1971 the county commissioners agreed to rent the space to Roundtown Players for $1 a year.\nThe members created a tech booth in the center of the balcony facing the stage, which is still used, with a lighting system donated by Miriam Ruggles-Adkins. Folding chairs were used for seating and bathrooms were installed. Some of the first productions included Noel Coward\u2019s \u201cBlythe Spirit\u201d and Ira Wallach\u2019s \u201cAbsence of a Cello.\u201d\nThanks to the desire of the sixty-one original members to bring theater to Pickaway County, Roundtown Players has remained active for nearly fifty years producing dramas, mysteries, comedies, musicals, and children\u2019s shows.",

        "raw_content": "The Rushden Echo, 5th January 1900, transcribed by Gill Hollis\nThe first meeting of this Council in 1900 was held on Wednesday night, when there were present Messrs. Fred Knight (chairman), G. Denton (vice-chairman), J. Claridge, Paul Cave, B. Mortimer, G. Fountain, W. H. Wilkins, G. H. Skinner, T. Swindall, and G. Miller, with the Clerk (Mr. G. S. Mason), the Surveyor (Mr. W. B. Madin), the Sanitary Inspector Mr. J. B. Martin), and the Medical Inspector (Dr. Owen).\nThe Chairman remarking that that was the first meeting for the year wished all the members of the Council a very happy and prosperous new year.\nThe members of the Council heartily reciprocated the good wishes expressed.\nPlans, Highways and Lighting Committee\nA meeting of the Plans, Highways, and Lighting committee was held at the Vestry Hall on Wednesday, December 13th. Present:- Messrs. F. Knight (chairman), P. Cave, J. Claridge, J. S. Clipson, W. H. Wilkins, and T. Swindall.\nMr. C. W. Horrell (amended plan) for alterations and additions to factory in Moor-road and passed.\nMr. Selwood for alterations and additions to factory in Harborough-road and passed subject to 14 inch work being provided for two stories of sanitary block.\nMr. G. Denton for addition to shop in High-street occupied by Mr. Philips and passed.\nMr. J. J. Inward for house in Queen-street and passed.\nMr. J. Jones for house in Portland-road and passed.\nNewton road, Footpath in front of Schools. \u0096 It was resolved that the asphalted footpath on the Newton-road be continued along the entire frontage of the Board Schools there.\nPark-road Improvement. \u0096 The Chairman reported that Mr. Fairey had now agreed to the Council\u2019s terms with regard to the widening of this Road and that he was proceeding with the work. The Surveyor was instructed to have the soil removed from the land given up by Mr. Robinson at the corner and complete the footpath as soon as possible.\nA meeting of the Rushden Urban Council in Committee was held on Wednesday, 13th December, 1899. Present :- Messrs. F. Knight (chairman), G. Denton (vice-chairman), P. Cave, J. Claridge, J. S. Clipson, B. Mortimer, G. H. Skinner, T. Swindall, and W. H. Wilkins.\nWaterworks, Bedford-road. Well. \u0096 The following tender was received from Messrs. E. Timmins and Co., Ltd., for sinking a new well 120 feet deep:-\nSinking well, \u00a3780\nDriving headings, \u00a35 15s per yard run.\nPumping per 1,000 gallons above 10,000 per hour 6d.\nUse of machinery, etc., if required after completion of the contract, per day, \u00a32 2s.\nThe Committee considered the tender unsatisfactory and the Clerk was instructed to inform Mr. Eunson of this and request him to ascertain from Messrs. Timmins, if they were still prepared to reline the old well on the terms of their tender of October 31st.\nMidland Railway. Land near No. 2 well. \u0096 The Clerk read a letter he had received from the Estate Agent of the Company, declining to grant the permission asked for by the Council, to sink trial wells and drive headings in the land near No. 2 well.\nMedical Officer. \u0096 With regard to the appointment of Medical Officer for the district, the Committee considered it desirable that the officer appointed should have no private practice in the town, and it was resolved that steps be taken accordingly to fill the vacancy occurring on the 1st January. The Clerk was instructed to advertise in the local papers inviting applications for the office at a salary of \u00a350. The appointment to be for one year and be made subject to the approval of the Local Government Board. \u0096 The Clerk was also instructed to inform the Local Government Board of the Council\u2019s intentions in the matter.\nMr. Cave asked whether the minute referring to the Medical Officer was open to discussion. In any case he could not agree with it and he did not want it to appear that the whole Council was in favour of it. He objected to the principal which it was sought to lay down and to the way in which servants of the Council were treated.\nAfter some little discussion as to procedure, the question of the adoption of the report was voted upon and five voted on each side.\nThe Chairman said he hardly liked to give a casting vote on the subject.\nThe Clerk, in reply to a question as to the position of affairs if the report were not adopted, said the whole matter would have to be reconsidered. The vacancy already existed.\nMr. Cave said the Local Government Board would be asking why the Council had allowed the Medical Officer\u2019s appointment to lapse.\nEventually the Chairman gave a casting vote in favour of the committee\u2019s recommendation and the report was adopted.\nAt a meeting of the Water Committee held on Wednesday, December 20th. Present:- Messrs. F. Knight (chairman), G. Denton (vice-chairman), J. Claridge, G. Fountain, G. H. Skinner, J. Spencer, and W. H. Wilkins.\nBedford-road Well. \u0096 The Clerk read correspondence with Mr. Eunson and Messrs. Timmins and Co. The latter firm were unable to modify their figures with regard to the new well but agreed to adhere to their tender of 31st October for relining the old well.\nIt was resolved that this tender be accepted.\nAt a meeting of the Finance &c., Committee held on Wednesday, December 20th. Present :- Messrs. F. Knight (chairman), G. Denton, J. Spencer, G. Fountain, G. H. Skinner, and J. Claridge.\nFinance. \u0096 A number of accounts were examined and passed for payment.\nDr. Owen reported that since his last report eight cases of scarlet fever had been notified and two of typhoid. Several of the cases mentioned had previously been notified to the Council, but it was now necessary to bring them forward as being reported by the doctor in attendance, in consequence of the Infectious Diseases notification Act coming into force.\nThe only application received for the position of Medical Officer was from Dr. Morris, of Wellingborough, Medical Officer to the Wellingborough Rural District Council.\nMr. Wilkins said he attached so much importance to the Medical Officer having no private practice in the town that he would move that Dr. Morris be appointed. If the arrangement did not work well they could revise it another year.\nMr. Denton said on that understanding he would second the motion.\nMr. Fountain thought the appointment was being hurried on too fast. He did not think the vacancy should have been advertised before the matter had been before the whole Council.\nThe Chairman said it was brought before the whole Council in committee.\nMr. Swindall said the matter was pushed forward so that they should not be without a medical officer.\nMr. Cave: It\u2019s not our fault that it was allowed to lapse in the way it was. I don\u2019t think there is a member of the Council would treat one of his own employees in the same way.\nThe Chairman moved and Mr. Claridge seconded that the consideration of the matter be deferred.\nMr. Cave said they would still be without a medical officer. On the other hand, it would be a great disadvantage to have a medical officer from outside the district, for they would not get the attention they would from a man in the town.\nMr. Skinner did not think they would suffer much till the next meeting. They had a very good Sanitary Inspector.\nThe proposal to defer the consideration of the mater was then put and carried.\nMr. Cave: Can we alter that resolution, if you are not satisfied with Dr. Owen, so as to appoint Dr. Crew?\nThe Chairman: I don\u2019t think we are in order.\nMr. Cave: I think this is more a political matter than a matter of justice to our medical officer.\nMr. Claridge said he must repudiate that suggestion. There was no foundation for it at all.\nMr. Denton (to Mr. Cave): If it is political, it is from your side.\nMr. Cave: I don\u2019t hesitate to say that not one of you would treat the meanest of his employees in the same way.\nThe Chairman: All I can say is that if anyone airs political matters, it must be you, because I have never heard anyone else. It is open to you to give notice to rescind.\nMr. Cave: I will give notice, then, to rescind the resolution.\nA copy of this Bill was submitted to the Council, and Mr. Denton said that the Roads Committee of the County Council were seeking to have a meeting called of the various Councils affected.\nThe consideration of the matter was deferred, and the Clerk was asked to procure copies of the Bill for the members of the Council.\nHigham Water Supply\nA copy of the Higham Ferrers and District Water Supply Bill was brought before the Council. It appeared that it was proposed to take the pipes through a portion of the Urban District of Rushden \u0096 Kimbolton-road \u0096 and a provision was contained in the Bill giving the Company the right to supply water to Rushden on terms to be agreed upon.\nThe Rushden Echo, 19th January 1900\nA special meeting of this Council was held on Wednesday night, the members present being Messrs. F. Knight (chairman), G. Denton (vice-chairman), J. Claridge, W. H. Wilkins, Paul Cave, G. Fountain, J. S. Clipson, G. H. Skinner, T. Swindall, and J. Spencer, with the Clerk (Mr. G. S. Mason), and the Surveyor (Mr. W. B. Madin).\nThe Bedford-Road Well\nThe seal of the Council was affixed to the tender of Messrs. Timmins for the Bedford-road well being lined with nine-inch brickwork in cement, and headings driven 5ft high and 8ft wide. The contract was dated Jan. 15, and the work is to be completed within three months.\nConsiderable discussion took place with regard to this Bill and it was considered necessary to lay a double set of lines through the whole length of the High-street owing to the narrowness of the street at certain points.\nThe Council decided to adhere to their previous resolution that before the High-street section is constructed the plans be again brought before the Council, when double lines would probably be insisted upon.\nMr. Spencer asked if there was a clause in the Bill to give local authorities powers to purchase.\nIt was stated that there was not a clause of that sort but that the Company had promised to insert one.\nMr. Spencer moved that the County Council be asked to insert such a clause and the motion was carried.\nA letter was read from the Clerk to the County Council asking if the hours of polling could not be altered for local elections, and suggested that the hours should be from 12 noon to 8 p.m.\nSome discussion took place on the subject, and it was thought by several members that it would be a greater improvement to have triennial elections.\nThe Clerk pointed out that triennial elections would save the parish about \u00a340 per annum.\nIt was decided to put the question of triennial elections on the agenda paper for the next meeting and on the motion of Mr. Cave it was decided to agree to the alteration of hours of polling as suggested by the County Council.",

The president declared it a strategy session to seek \"the best ideas from people who can really make a difference: parents and young people, teachers and religious leaders, law enforcement, gun manufacturers, representatives of the entertainment industry and those of us here in government.\"\nJust say no: Thousands picketed the American Psychiatric Association's Washington conference in May.\nThere was, however, complete silence from the president when it came to including representatives from the mental-health community, whom many believe can provide important insight about the possible connection between the otherwise seemingly senseless acts of violence being committed by school-age children and prescription psychotropic drugs such as Ritalin, Luvox and Prozac.\nThere are nearly 6 million children in the United States between the ages of 6 and 18 taking mind-altering drugs prescribed for alleged mental illnesses that increasing numbers of mental-health professionals are questioning.\nAlthough the list of school-age children who have gone on violent rampages is growing at a disturbing rate \u0096 and the shootings at Columbine became a national wake-up call \u0096 few in the mental-health community have been willing to talk about the possibility that the heavily prescribed drugs and violence may be linked. Those who try to investigate quickly learn that virtually all data concerning violence and psychotropic drugs are protected by the confidentiality provided minors. But in the highly publicized shootings this spring, information has been made available to the public.\n\u00b7 April 16: Shawn Cooper, a 15-year-old sophomore at Notus Junior-Senior High School in Notus, Idaho, was taking Ritalin, the most commonly prescribed stimulant, for bipolar disorder when he fired two shotgun rounds, narrowly missing students and school staff.\n\u00b7 April 20: Harris, an 18-year-old senior at Columbine High School, killed a dozen students and a teacher before taking his own life. Prior to the shooting rampage, he had been under the influence of Luvox, one of the new selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; or SSRI, antidepressants approved in 1997 by the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for children up to the age of 17 for treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder; or OCD.\nOut of control: Students exit Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., under police guard as two students on a shooting spree kill 13.\n\u00b7 May 20: T.J. Solomon, a 15-year-old at Heritage High School in Conyers, Ga., was being treated with Ritalin for depression when he opened fire on and wounded six classmates.\nTwo other high-profile cases from last year show a similar pattern:\n\u00b7 May 21, 1998: Kip Kinkel, a 15-year-old at Thurston High School in Springfield, Ore., murdered his parents and then proceeded to school where he opened fire on students in the cafeteria, killing two and wounding 22. Kinkel had been prescribed both Ritalin and Prozac. Although widely used among adults, Prozac has not been approved by the FDA for pediatric use.\n\u00b7 March 24, 1998: Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Andrew Golden, 11, opened fire on their classmates at Westside Middle School in Jonesboro, Ark. Johnson had been receiving psychiatric counseling and, although information about the psychotropic drugs that may have been prescribed for him has not been made public, his attorney, Val Price, responded when asked about it: \"I think that is confidential information, and I don't want to reveal that.\"\nA great deal has been written about all of these cases. There have, however; been no indications that all of these children watched the same TV programs or listened to the same music. Nor has it been established that they all used illegal drugs, suffered from alcohol abuse or had common difficulties with their families or peers. They did not share identical home lives, dress alike or participate in similar extracurricular activities. But all of the above were labeled as suffering from a mental illness and were being treated with psychotropic drugs that for years have been known to cause serious adverse effects when given to children.\nAt the top of the list of so-called \"mental illnesses\" among children is attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder; or ADHD, which is diagnosed when a child meets six of the 18 criteria described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM-IV, published by the American Psychiatric Association, or APA.\nKiller kids: Kipland Kinkel, left, had been administered Ritalin and Prozac. Eric Harris, right was under the influence of Luvox, an antidepressant prescribed to treat obsessive compulsive disorder, during murderous assault.\nADHD was determined by a vote of APA psychiatrists to be a \"mental\" illness and added to the DSM-IIIR in 1987. By definition, children with ADHD exhibit behaviors such as not paying attention in school, not listening when spoken to directly, failing to follow directions, losing things, being easily distracted and forgetful, fidgeting with hands or feet, talking excessively, blurting out answers or having difficulty awaiting turn. The most common ADHD remedy among pediatricians and representatives of the mental-health community is, as noted, Ritalin.\nFirst approved by the FDA in 1955, Ritalin (methylphenidate) had become widely used for behavioral control by the mid-1960s. It is produced by the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis. According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, the United States buys and uses 90 percent of the world's Ritalin. A U.N. agency known as the International Narcotics Control Board, reported in 1995 that \"10 to 12 percent of all boys between the ages of 6 and 14 in the U.S. have been diagnosed as having ADD [attention-deficit disorder; now referred to as ADHD] and are being treated with methylphenidate\"\nBut opponents are concerned about evidence they say confirms a close relationship between use of prescribed psychotropic drugs and subsequent use of illegal drugs, including cocaine and heroin. While the United States has spent more than $70 billion on the war on drugs, says Bruce Wiseman, president of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, a California-based organization that investigates violations of human rights by mental-health practitioners, \"if you think the Colombian drug cartel is the biggest drug dealer in the world, think again. It's your neighborhood psychiatrist putting our kids on the highest level of addictive drugs.\"\nThis complaint is not new and there is a lengthy list of government agencies connecting the prescribed psychotropic drugs to use of illegal substances.\nTwenty-eight years ago the World Health Organization, or WHO, concluded that Ritalin was pharmacologically similar to cocaine in its pattern of abuse and cited Ritalin as a Schedule II drug - the most addictive in medical usage. The Department of Justice followed the WHO by citing Ritalin in Schedule II of the Controlled Substances Act as having a very high potential for abuse. As a Schedule II drug, Ritalin joins morphine, opium, cocaine and the heroin substitute methadone.\nAccording to a report in the 1995 Archives of General Psychiatry, \"Cocaine is one of the most reinforcing and addicting of the abused drugs and has pharmacological actions that are very similar to those of Ritalin\" In the same year the DEA also made the Ritalin cocaine connection, saying, \"It is clear that Ritalin substitutes for cocaine and d-amphetamine in a number of behavioral paradigms,\" expressing concern that \"one in every 30 Americans between 5 and 19 years old has a prescription for the drug.\"\nDespite decades of warnings about the potential for abuse of Ritalin, experts continue to argue that the benefits far outweigh the consequences. Yet the INCB has reported that \"Methylphenidate's [Ritalin] pharmacological effects are essentially the same as those of amphetamine and methamphetamine. The abuse of methylphenidate [Ritalin] can lead to tolerance and severe psychological dependence. Psychotic episodes [and] violent and bizarre behavior have been reported.\"\nThese are, in fact, some of the same symptoms exhibited by Eric Harris. David Fassler, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and chairman of the APA group on Children, Adolescents and Their Families, says he is unaware of any research to suggest a correlation between the recent cases of violent behavior in school-age children and the widespread prescription of psychotropic drugs. Fassler argues that the number of school-age children suffering from mental illnesses such as depression is \"more than earlier believed and it is important that there be a comprehensive evaluation by a mental-health clinician trained in this area.\" He stresses that \"treatment should be multimodal - not left to medications alone.\"\nMike Faenza, president and chief executive officer of the National Mental Health Association, the country's oldest and largest mental-health group, notes that \"there is little known about how the drugs affect brain function.\" Faenza adds that \"we do know that a hell of a lot of kids commit suicide because they aren't getting the help they need. It's irresponsible not to give them the help just because we don't know what causes the mental illness.\"\nOpponents are quick to capitalize on this admission. \"There is no such thing as ADHD,\" declares Wiseman. \"It's not a deficiency of 'speed' that makes a kid act out. If you look at the criteria listed in the DSM-IV for ADHD, you'll see that they are taking normal childhood behavior and literally voting it a mental illness. This is a pseudoscience, entirely subjective. Unlike medical conditions that are proved scientifically, with these mental illnesses the only way you know you're better is if the psychiatrist says you're better. That's not science.\"\nPediatric neurologist Fred Baughman not only agrees that there is no such illness as ADHD, but says: \"This is a contrived epidemic, where all 5 million to 6 million children on these drugs are normal. The country's been led to believe that all painful emotions are a mental illness and the leadership of the APA knows very well that they are representing it as a disease when there is no scientific data to confirm any mental illness.\"\nPeter Breggin, a psychiatrist and director of the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology and author of Talking Back to Prozac, Toxic Psychiatry and Talking Back to Ritalin, for years has waged a war with the APA about what he regards as its cavalier diagnoses of mental illnesses. \"Psychiatry has never been driven by science. They have no biological or genetic basis for these illnesses and the National Institutes of Mental Health are totally committed to the pharmacological line.\" He is concerned that \"there is a great deal of scientific evidence that stimulants cause brain damage with long-term use, yet there is no evidence that these mental illnesses, such as ADHD, exist.\"\nBreggin points out that the National Institutes of Health, or NIH, admitted as much at their 1998 Consensus Development Conference on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Thirty-one individuals were selected by NIH to make scientific presentations to the panel on ADHD and its treatment. The panel made the following observations and conclusions: \"We don't have an independent, valid test for ADHD; there are no data to indicate that ADHD is due to a brain malfunction; existing studies come to conflicting conclusions as to whether use of psychostimulants increases or decreases the risk of abuse, and finally after years of clinical research and experience with ADHD, our knowledge about the cause or causes of ADHD remains speculative.\"\nIf so, there is little evidence to support a scientific basis for classifying ADHD as a mental illness. On the other hand, there is an abundance of evidence that stimulants such as Ritalin can produce symptoms such as mania, insomnia, hallucinations, hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention. And the DEA\u0092s list of potential adverse effects of Ritalin includes psychosis, depression, dizziness, insomnia, nervousness, irritability and attacks of Tourette\u0092s or other tic syndromes.\nWhile Ritalin is the drug of choice for treating ADHD, other mental illnesses such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder; or OCD, from which Columbine shooter Harris suffered, are being treated with new SSRI antidepressants. Harris' autopsy revealed that he had used Luvox (Fluvoxomine), an SSRI, prior to the shooting spree. And days earlier he had been rejected by the Marine Corps because he was taking the psychotropic drug.\nLuvox, a cousin of Prozac, has been approved by the FDA for pediatric use, although research shows that a small percentage of patients experience adverse effects such as mania, bouts of irritability, aggression and hostility. But many physicians still prescribe it to children.\nMore disturbing to those who believe sufficient evidence exists that prescription psychotropic drugs may play a role in the violence being carried out by school-age children is the response of physicians to the issue. Rather than erring on the side of caution by reducing the number of kids on mind-altering drugs, physicians instead are prescribing psychotropic drugs even to infants and toddlers. The warning label states that \"Ritalin should not be used in children under 6 years, since safety and efficacy for this age group has not been established\" and \"sufficient data on safety and efficacy of long-term use of Ritalin in children are not yet available.\"\nA report in the July 1998 issue of the Clinical Psychiatric News revealed that in Michigan's Medicaid program, 223 children 3 years old or younger were diagnosed with ADHD as of December 1996. Amazingly, 57 percent of these children, many of whom are not yet capable of putting together a complete sentence, were treated with one or more psychotropic drugs including Ritalin, Prozac, Dexedrine, Aventyl and Syban. Thirty-three percent were medicated with two or more of these drugs.\nBut it is Ritalin that is being prescribed to 6 million American children. Children's Hospital in Washington has been running television advertisements expressing concern. According to its spokeswoman, Lynn Cantwell, the ads were part of a series covering many medical issues. \"We wanted to advocate that children get a comprehensive evaluation because we are finding that children were coming in who were taking Ritalin who actually did not have ADHD.\"\nWiseman has suggested that the only way to gain control of the situation is to expose widespread \"fraudulent diagnoses\" of psychiatrists. \"Without the diagnoses, you can't get the drugs,\" he says. Baughman's answer isn't too far from Wiseman's. He says, \"A big-time class-action lawsuit needs to be filed.\"\nA large class action lawsuit of the type mentioned above was filed.

The latest information we have is that the case was dismissed, but based upon prior experience, suits will be filed regularly until finally a breakthrough is achieved.\nLooking for accurate comprehensive testing, with a proven guaranteed solution for the behaviors often associated with ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, learning problems and many misbehaviors?

        "raw_content": "How to Get Low-Income Kids Out of Special Ed\nQ. As a general rule, the richer your parents are, the better you do in school. The poorer your parents are, the more likely you are to have reading problems, be labeled \"Learning Disabled\" and placed in special education \"backwashes\" in our schools. Low-income children are badly over-represented in special ed programs in our schools. We can't stand for this any longer. If more money creates better learning conditions, shouldn't we pour extra money into the schools where our most impoverished students go, to try to overcome that?\nIt isn't so much the money that is creating the superior learning ability. It is the set of behaviors that come with money. Parents who are married, college graduates, often bringing in double incomes that are both good amounts, who talk a lot with their children, have a lot of books in their home, bring them to museums and on vacations where they can learn a lot of new things, feed them well and insist that they rest enough, and read to them each and every day, are going to create children who are good readers, writers and thinkers just because they have been nurtured educationally from the beginning.\nOn the other hand, children who come from homes in which one or both parents are dead, sick, depressed, high-school dropouts, on drugs or booze, in jail, working three jobs, trapped in abusive situations, cohabiting, neglecting their health, and unable to make ends meet, much less provide amply for their children, and there's violence in the neighborhood, and the grownups in charge are too exhausted and distracted to talk with the children much or tend to their intellectual needs, are naturally going to produce children with more learning challenges than the first group.\nBut it doesn't have to be this way. It sure doesn't - and in a lot of places, despite serious educational disadvantages for low-income children, it isn't. They are doing fine . . . because the educators in their lives know the secrets of overcoming poverty in order to produce a highly literate and numerate citizen against the odds.\nEven though 15 million children live in poverty in the United States, and 7,000 children drop out of school every day, the vast majority of them low-income, there are good results bringing success to children in poverty by schools that \"get it.\" Mostly, they teach reading correctly in the early grades, keeping the low-income students on an even keel with their more advantaged peers as the curriculum becomes more challenging and complex in later grade school and beyond.\nBut also, there are attitudes of the teacher's heart which go a long way toward helping children in poverty develop into able learners.\nAccording to Dr. Martin Haberman, Distinguished Professor of Education Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, and author of the book, Star Teachers: the Ideology and Best Practice of Effective Teachers of Diverse Children and Youth in Poverty, certain practices and belief systems are associated with success for disadvantaged students:\n\ufffd Persistence. The first core belief is that teachers must be endlessly persistent to find a way to help each child learn. That promotes high expectations for students, the development of teaching skills, responsiveness to diversity, teaching efficacy, effective responses to setbacks, and successful use of reformed teaching methods. If teachers lack this overarching spirit of persistence and their students underachieve or fail, they then blame the students for lack of attention, motivation, or capability. What is really the teacher's lack of persistence becomes a failure on the students' report cards.\n\ufffd Protecting Students' Learning. The teacher must foster relevant and engaging education by discovering what is \"hot\" for students as well as what is important for their future, and explore these subjects via meaningful methods. Don't waste their time, don't patronize them, and go the extra mile to make each day exciting and relevant. The ability to advocate, gently negotiate, and hang on to whatever works with students to keep them engaged and motivated is crucial.\n\ufffd Putting Theory into Practice. You have to bridge theory (what teachers learn from other experts) to practice (how they will apply this in the classroom). Use multiple sources of feedback -- such as test scores, attendance, student conversations, and peer review - to shape the development of both yourself as a teacher, and the students. Use extra creativity, determination and insight to adapt teaching strategies for the challenging realities, and minimal resources, of the low-income context.\n\ufffd Approach to At-Risk Students. Recognize that school itself can put a lot of pressure on students that, if not channeled into constructive outlets, can lead to the student \"checking out\" of class and ultimately dropping out. Just labeling a student \"at risk\" or \"special needs\" brands that student, in his or her peers' eyes, as \"lower class.\" The message sent to low-income children when their schools are run down and their teachers are the least experienced is not a positive one. So a good teacher will do everything possible to bust the stereotypes and show the students how valuable they are and what a great future they will have.\n\ufffd Professional vs. Personal Orientation. It is important to build a trust with all learners, regardless of your personal feelings about them, that is independent of students' behaviors or foibles. Kids \"know\" when a teacher doesn't like them, and with students whose home resources and support network aren't very good, that could translate to underachievement and dropping out.\n\ufffd Burnout: Network with other good teachers to keep children at the center, and minimize the stress of the central-office bureaucracy, office politics, disgruntled co-workers and so forth. Maintaining a supportive network, learning from one another, and achieving milestones with children help star teachers avoid high staff turnover.\n\ufffd Fallibility. Be honest and humble about your own shortcomings with the children. It will help them trust you, and often, they come from a world in which hardly anyone is worthy of their trust. Adults who cover up, blame someone else, or manufacture excuses cannot model responsibility and conflict resolution.\nHomework: Book, HOPE For Children in Poverty, edited by Ronald J.

The FX miniseries, which follows the OJ Simpson murder trial and the lives of many of the people involved and affected by the case, has been well reviewed and praised for its handling of many themes that resonate with the people on this campus, including racial tensions, corruption and inequality within the justice system, media bias, and the rise of the problematic aspects of reality TV. The Skidmore News questioned students across campus, asking fans just which of these aspects of the show, as well as the crime itself, seemed most significant. The answer was practically unanimous:\n\"It's been so fascinating to see the Kardashians on TV,\" commented Justin Binger ('18). \"I think that the scenes depicting the Kardashian children are unlike anything on TV right now. I just want to know more about the family.\"\nA group of student activists, lead by Binger, have written a petition, to be sent to FX executives, demanding that the network write a spin-off show that would follow the daily lives of the Kardashian family.\nBinger told the Skidmore News, \"People our age\u2014in this age of Netflix and chill\u2014we just know good TV when we see it.\"\nFeb 24 Reel Talk: Oscar Predictions 2016",

        "raw_content": "Tags: cinema reviews, Jack Nicholson, Rodney Ascher, Room 237, Stanley Kubrick, The Shining\nWhat is truth \u2013 \u2605\u2605\u2605\u00bd\nWith one seemingly unbelievable theory after another, Room 237 presents the numerous interpretations people have compiled over the thirty plus years since The Shining\u2019s release. While some are certainly coincidence or bad continuity you can\u2019t help but wonder, given the genius of Stanley Kubrick, if there isn\u2019t more to this than first appears.\nRodney Ascher has painstakingly compiled a conspirator\u2019s handbook for The Shining ranging from the credible to the down right insane. We look at the symbolism of the holocaust, the genocide of the native American population, Greek mythology and even have time for the 1969 moon landing. What sets Ascher\u2019s documentary apart from most is the total lack of talking heads. He uses scenes from the film inter-cut with other Kubrick classics to tell the story, enabling him to pause, highlight and contrast the points the voice-overs are making. Some might see this as a dangerous move but it\u2019s quite clever as without the talking heads we can focus on the core issue of the film, without having to constantly cut back and forth to whoever is setting out their argument. Many of the reasons for talking heads is to grandstand about who you were able to get for your documentary. With this work the contributors are largely unknown and by not seeing them we are unable to dismiss them as mere cranks or crazies.\nBy looking at Kubrick\u2019s back catalogue it\u2019s clear to see he was one the finest directors cinema has ever seen. Having finished Barry Lyndon in 1975 it would be 5 years until his next picture The Shining. One story recounts how a group of Kubrick\u2019s researchers camped out in the hotel for 3 months to take photos and gather all the information they could on the local area. We see from this dedication to his craft and learn about how he picked up the label of a perfectionist, as Sydney Pollack recalls developing an ulcer from countless retakes on the set of Eyes Wide Shut. Realising this makes it easier to believe the theories put forward in Room 237 as it\u2019s obvious he wasn\u2019t just making a straight-forward horror film.\n| o | \u2013 The Minotaur surveys his maze\nThe legitimate theories seem to concern the film being an account of the atrocities carried out on the native Americans. The hotel is built on an Indian burial ground and is decorated with lots of native American art, however this seems like too much of a conventional horror story plot. The film as an examination of the horrors carried out by Hitler on the Jewish race seems to hold more weight. The number 42 is seen throughout the film, 1942 being the year in which Hitler decided to carry out his \u201cfinal solution\u201d and, as with the native American theory, the river of blood escaping from the elevator is heavily symbolic. As the blood flows from the side of the elevator while the doors remain closed it appears to represent the hidden bloody past in all of human civilisation. People felt this was Kubrick\u2019s way of enabling us to contemplate the unimaginable reality of the murder of 6 million Jews.\nEvery aspect of the film is examined, from Danny\u2019s cycle routes in the hotel to the relevance of the typewriter changing colour. How the twins are a symbol of the mother\u2019s imagination and the very construct of the hotel makes no logical sense with rooms and windows being in impossible positions. At times elements go too far and when a contributor mentions how for a split second at the end Jack\u2019s hair morphs into a Hitler moustache as well as the carpet in Room 237 symbolising the act of reproduction you can\u2019t help but call shenanigans.\nWhat all this really tells us the overwhelming effect the film has had on countless film fans. For me what stands out about The Shining is the score, it is the unseen monster occupying every inch of the screen. People like to look for hidden meanings in an attempt to understand why art has such an effect on us \u2013 there must be more to it than what we see at first glance. This is certainly true of The Shining and of any director who made 2001 \u2013 A Space Odyssey (IN 1968!!). Kubrick has not only given us one of the greatest films ever made, he has given us a puzzle or maze that we must travel through to find the truth.\nAlthough as one voice-over quite rightly points out the more you delve into the make-up of the film the less sense it makes. So if you simply like to be scared witless then that\u2019s fine too. After seeing Room 237 you instantly want to re-watch The Shining which happily is released this Friday in its original American cut.\nUSA / Directed By: Rodney Ascher / 102min / Documentary / Release: 26 October 2012 (UK/Ireland)",

        "raw_content": "Nelson Cruz alarm bell: Career stats vs. AL West\nThe Mariners are committing $57 million to Nelson Cruz over the next four years, but Cruz has never been a great hitter within the AL West. That has to change.\nNelson Cruz is coming off a 40-homer season, but has always had trouble hitting in most AL West ballparks. / Wiki Commons\nA little more than a year ago, the Mariners had a contract in place with Nelson Cruz that would have paid the Texas free agent $7.5 million in 2014 with a club option of roughly $9 million in 2015. But apparently concerned that Cruz wouldn\u2019t respond well after he was ensnared in the Biogenesis scandal, ownership turned skittish and finally backed out of the deal. Many teams shared that sentiment, Baltimore an exception.\nCruz returned from an embarrassing 50-game exile and hit 40 home runs (tops in the majors) and knocked in 108 runs for the Orioles. While a post-PEDs Cruz finished seventh in American League MVP voting and made the playoffs, the Mariners flailed at the cleanup spot, which would have been Cruz\u2019s had he signed with Seattle, and missed a wild card spot by one game.\nIn case you forgot, both 2014 World Series participants, the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals, were wild card teams.\nNow, as far as the Mariners are concerned, Cruz\u2019s 40 home runs from the right side of the plate last season make his suspension ancient history. But instead of landing the slugger for $7.5 million on a one-year deal in 2014 plus $9 million this year, the Mariners will have to pay the 34-year-old $57 million over the next four years to hit in the No. 4 slot, between Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager.\nWith Cano at $24 million per, Seager at $14.25 million under his new $100 million extension formally announced Tuesday, and Cruz at $14.25 million once he officially inks, this means the Mariners will pay an average of $52.5 million per year over the next four to their 3-4-5 hitters \u2013 by far the most money committed to three players on one Seattle roster.\nAlthough the Mariners now have three $100 million position players, they can afford the hit.\nWhat they can\u2019t afford is to lead the AL again in ERA but tie for 11th in runs and finish last in OPS, that dismal circumstance partially the result of the appalling performances of their DHs/No. 4 hitters. With Corey Hart and Kendrys Morales getting most of those at-bats last year, Seattle had the worst production in the league with a .190/.266/.301 slash line and just 15 home runs and 50 RBIs.\nCruz played eight of his 10 major league seasons in the AL West with the Rangers and is a three-time All-Star who has averaged 29 home runs, 86 RBIs and a .271 batting mark over the past six seasons. He had his best season in 2014 with 15 home runs and 40 RBIs in 79 games at Camden Yards and a .289 average with 25 long balls and 68 RBIs in 80 road games.\nCiting concerns over its four-year length, critics point out that Cruz will be 39 years old when the deal comes to an end, suggesting that the Mariners will way overpay for Cruz down the road. But the club isn\u2019t \u2014 and shouldn\u2019t be \u2014 concerned with the distant future.\nThe Mariners need to win now and are investing $57 million in Cruz precisely because of those 40 home runs, 108 RBIs, plus the fact that he\u2019s a power hitter from the right side and addresses one of the team\u2019s biggest needs.\nBut inside those 40 homers and 108 RBIs resides an alarm bell \u2014 Cruz\u2019s production against the AL West. He will have 76 of 162 games next season against division opponents. This is what Cruz did in 2014 against the AL West:\nAngels 6 .083 .154 .125 .279 No home runs, no RBIs\nAthletics 6 .125 .160 .167 .327 No home runs, no RBIs\nAstros 7 .318 .385 .636 1.021 2 homers, 5 RBIs, 6 K\u2019s\nMariners 6 .150 .320 .350 .670 1 homer, 1 RBI, 6 K\u2019s\nRangers 7 .222 .323 .444 .767 2 homers, 5 RBIs, 5 K\u2019s\nThat\u2019s pretty bleak. Cruz hit a less-than-robust .173 combined against the five AL West teams last season, failed to homer against the Angels and Athletics (12 games) and had his only success against the Astros. In six games at Safeco Field, not a large sample size, he batted .150 with a slugging percentage of .350 and an OPS of .670. As the chart shows, he was worse across the board against Oakland.\nThat doesn\u2019t bode well. Boding worse is Cruz\u2019s 10-year history against division opponents.\nHe\u2019s a .218 lifetime hitter at Angel Stadium, a .234 batter at Safeco Field, and a .237 hitter at Oakland\u2019s Coliseum. Cruz will play 100 of 162 games \u2014 61.7 percent of the schedule \u2014 in those parks next season.\nCruz has generated decent career numbers at Rangers Ballpark, his former haunt, and at Minute Maid Park in Houston, but his numbers in AL West venues are terrible when contrasted with his overall career production. These are the five ballparks where Cruz has had the least success, minimum 30 games:\nO.Com Coliseum AL West 53 .185 .571 6 home runs, 28 RBIs\nAngels Stadium AL West 54 .218 .654 9 home runs, 24 RBIs\nSafeco Field AL West 52 .234 .749 9 home runs, 19 RBIs\nYankee Stadium AL East 31 .218 .754 7 home runs, 18 RBIs\nRogers Centre AL East 32 .256 .829 8 home runs, 29 RBIs\nHis favorite among those three AL West parks is Safeco Field, where he\u2019s a .234 career hitter. But a .234 batting average and .749 OPS at Safeco for a cleanup hitter is not going to get it done if the Mariners hope to goose their offense appreciably.\nRemember, Raul Ibanez posted a .772 OPS at Safeco Field as a No. 4 hitter in 2013 and the Mariners went 71-91.\nLast year, Morales posted a .793 out of the No. 4 hole and the Mariners missed the playoffs. Adrian Beltre had a .748 in 2008 and the Mariners lost 101 games.\nNo one expects Cruz to replicate his 2014 numbers next season. But he still needs a huge uptick in production within the division.\nIf the Mariners were overly concerned about Cruz\u2019s historical performance vs. the AL West they wouldn\u2019t have committed $57 million to land him. But desperation is a powerful emotion.\nEven after signing Cruz, the Mariners still need another quality bat.\nYou\u2019re making the point I\u2019ve tried to make, Steve\u2026Cruz just does not hit well in a ballpark he\u2019ll be playing in 81 times a year. Good to see the M\u2019s make a bold stroke by trying to fill a need\u2026I\u2019m just not convinced they\u2019ve accomplished that with this signing. Torii Hunter would\u2019ve been better to bring in from a baseball standpoint, but his stance against gay marriage pretty much killed any chance he\u2019d come to Seattle (where tolerance is a one-way street).\nNot necessarily. They signed Carl Everett, who was known for his distaste of homosexuality (and not believing dinosaurs existed, among other things), and Seattle fans loved Steve Largent, even after he opposed a WA pro-gay rights bill I\u2019m the \u201990s. Now if Hunter had a Josh Lueke-like sexual assault record, that\u2019s another matter.\nI don\u2019t think the M\u2019s are even expecting four years of good production out of Cruz. More like two. But giving Cano (who I also believe the M\u2019s aren\u2019t expecting full value for the length of his contract either but will be happy with four years) adequate protection is a priority. If the M\u2019s had Cruz last season they most likely would have won the division. If anything, they looked at his OBP and slugging percentage and decided at the very least his presence in the lineup will be respected The M\u2019s also probably liked that Cruz his 25 HRs on the road vs. 15 at his home park. That\u2019s in line with the M\u2019s players and they still did okay last season.\nIf Cruz can approach Morales\u2019 2013 numbers, and that should be doable, then this signing will be a success. A #3 pitcher, veteran backup catcher and a veteran for the bullpen should be the next priorities.\nSeager\u2019s deal is back-loaded so he\u2019s making less than he would be expected to under arbitration had he not signed the deal.\nOakland, Seattle and LA are pitchers parks, so of course he hasn\u2019t hit well there. Would your solution be that they run an entire lefty lineup? Only play Cruz on away games? Give up and run Felix as DH?\nYou\u2019re not very good at this.\nFelix would love your last suggestion!\nThe last for seasons when visiting Seattle Cruz has hit .194\nIn all the seasons before that he was at .324\nLet\u2019s hope we get the pre 2011 Cruz\nWe\u2019ll see how a ROIDS-less Cruz does \u2013 the jury is out on this one, especially in light of his having his BEST year, by far, @ age 33.\nBiogenesis is expert in masking their PED\u2019s, so I hope for Jack and Howard\u2019s sake they find out how to properly test this guy during the physical or at least have an out in the contract. .\nSouthsound Seahawk\nUpton! Please. We\u2019re getting close to a serious WS contender here M\u2019s! More than willing to let Walker go to further strengthen the offense. Cruz is not enough.",

For the majority of that time there were aims to sell a minority on the part of GFH Capital, but negotiations are ongoing and the situation changes regularly. It is likely that the situation has changed and that a majority sale is being sought by both parties.\nGFH Capital is currently planning to sell \u201cits stake\u201d in Leeds, according to the financial statements, which suggests a sale of, at the very least, a majority.\nThe deal has been agreed in principle for a good while, but there is still a need to sign off on it.\nSpoughts has chosen to keep the names of those myriad parties involved quiet for the good of the deal and the football club, with the belief of this website being that a quiet and speedy resolution is the ideal, despite the potential to drive traffic to the website by naming names. This information has been kept quiet for many weeks now by the website and will remain so until there is a desire on the part of the parties to reveal all.\nGFH Capitalleeds unitedLUFC\nLeeds United: Time to go, Neil. Has the United manager\u2019s tenure reached a premature conclusion?\nFebruary 7, 2013 Spoughts\t8 Comments\nBy Jack Bennett.\nIt was only around a year ago that the city of Leeds had mustered some new-found positivity on hearing the news that veteran manager and promotion specialist, Neil Warnock, would be Leeds United\u2019s new manager. There was a sense of genuine optimism that had previously been lacking, due to a combination of on and off-field factors that had left the white faithful disillusioned and disjointed. Despite an uncertain league position and the play-off spots slipping from grasp, some fans even put speculative bets on promotion. It seemed that things were finally looking up, after ten years of turmoil.\nFast-forward twelve months, and the club is seemingly in no better condition than it was when Warnock took over. With forty-one points from twenty-nine games, the Whites are looking unlikely to muster a late play-off push, and another season has once again slipped by, one that will be regarded as yet another missed opportunity. Despite the 63-year-old\u2019s claim that he is \u2018doing a good job\u2019, the Leeds fans have been angered and frustrated by his poor tactics and team selections, ignorance, and even nonchalance at the club\u2019s disappointing league position. Having brought in a multitude of players \u2013 many of them from his previous clubs \u2013 at the start of the season, the manager can have no complaints about a playing squad he has assembled.\nAlthough Leeds reached the League Cup fifth round, where they were beaten comfortably by a strong Chelsea side, and beat Tottenham Hotspur last week to reach the FA Cup fifth round, the club\u2019s lifeblood \u2013 its fans \u2013 have been loud in their criticism and disapproval of Warnock\u2019s tenure, clearly and understandably angry at the way their club is being run and managed. Another season of disappointment has been a bitter pill to swallow for the fans, whose happiness at the takeover news in November quickly being ousted by continuing poor results on the field and a swathe of unproven signings in January.\nIn essence, Leeds have reached a crossroads. By sacking Warnock and bringing in a young manager with fresh hunger for success, the club would be able to plan ahead for next season, refresh the squad, and make a concerted effort for promotion. The flip side is, of course, to continue with Warnock in charge \u2013 although he may well choose to leave in May \u2013 and seemingly go round in circles further, with outdated tactics and a penchant for signing former players, many of whom are past their use-by date.\nThis is a time of great change for Leeds United, and I only hope that GFH-C make the right decision in taking this great club forward, rather than leaving it to stagnate.\nGFHGFH CapitalleedsLUFCWarnock\nLeeds United: An Open Letter to GFH Capital\nAllow me to introduce myself. My name is Amitai Winehouse, and I\u2019m a Leeds United fan of 20 years, 6 months, and 6 days. If that sounds like an admission of guilt, it is to an extent. I am to Leeds United like poison to a rat, given the slow and steady decline that has occurred in my lifetime. However, people have informed me that everyone is like that to Leeds United, that very few get to experience genuine joy, so the guilt is with that caveat. Aside from this, to symbolise how fully I am tied to Leeds United, my middle name is Eric. As you are recently involved in the club, you may not know the tale, but months after winning the title (which occurred about 2 months before I was born), we sold Eric Cantona, who went on to do some things elsewhere. I was named in those heady days between title victory and sale, when Chalutz Bakery in Leeds named a bagel after the mercurial Frenchman. Anyway, I like to think I\u2019ve seen many things in my twenty years, from the top to the bottom (well, bottom of League One \u2013 I\u2019ve seen that fall at the very least). The reality is that I\u2019ve been thinking about several things since you took over the club, and was intending to send them in an email to that address. Given the Becchio incident yesterday and our recent form, however, I\u2019d like to put them in a public place, where fellow Leeds fans can comment.\nFirst, some compliments. You\u2019ve done the right thing already in several regards, such as the ticket offer for the Peterborough and Blackpool games. This will be the first time that I, as a student, will be able to pay a discounted rate for a game, for the entire time I\u2019ve been at university. I travel down from Newcastle for every game I attend, and I know others who would be more willing to visit Elland Road on a regular basis if they were charged more in line with their spending ability (as a general rule: zero). As Eamonn Dalton said on our podcast recently, a fan who thinks that the only thing Ken Bates did wrong was selling players is a poor observer of Leeds United. Your zeal to communicate with the fans is commendable. It no longer works to place yourself, as owners of a football club, in an ivory tower. It does not matter if your communication arrives warts and all, it is best to have yourself seen as human beings.\nFurthermore, I don\u2019t think your work in the transfer market this window should actually be criticised. Looking at the books, we\u2019ve overcommitted hugely to building projects under the previous ownership, and the finances aren\u2019t in an ideal place. Becchio leaving isn\u2019t entirely your fault either. He\u2019s had very good money offered to him, apparently, by you, and he\u2019s turned it down. He probably thinks he\u2019s achieved all he can at Leeds, so why not chase a pay packet? He\u2019s had no evidence for every year that he\u2019s been here that we can actually hit the Premier League. It is difficult to convince a player that everything will be different, even if behind the scenes you are whirring away to do so.\nAside from this praise, however, there are some points I would like to share. They are based on a thought I read yesterday, which is that Leeds no longer feels like Leeds. This is the thing you must take first and foremost, understand and cherish, because it is simultaneously a blessing and a curse. It can be said, quite simply, that Leeds United is a very unique football club. We are one of very few remaining football clubs that have a heart and soul. This is what is slowly drifting away as time goes by.\nMy first idea, therefore, is decide what Leeds United means and craft your entire output around it. Too often businesses will look at themselves, copy others, and therefore pitch themselves as \u201clike the market leader, but smaller and very slightly cheaper\u201d. We have had this issue in recent years. We do a tribute act to other clubs who focus on corporatisation and advertising projects, but the simple reality is that whilst we remain a Championship club, this will not bring in the same money that it does for the likes of Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal etc. Furthermore, each of these clubs has a way to sell themselves in that regard:\nat Man Utd you will (sadly) see them win many things and they can sell themselves on \u201csuccess\u201d. Leeds cannot sell themselves on success, there has been none in recent years. Monarch Airlines taking an advert on the side of the pitch will not make them \u201cchampions of the sky\u201d.\nat Liverpool they can sell themselves on history until they (probably) win something again. Leeds cannot sell ourselves on history, because despite what Leeds fans know, our history is tainted, both by our reputation in the past as \u201cdirty Leeds\u201d and the fact that our historic periods of success have never actually featured much success. We have not won 18 titles in the past, or 5 European Cups.\nat Arsenal they sell themselves on \u201cdoing things the right way\u201d. They are also a cosmopolitan club in a cosmopolitan city, something that would not appeal to the same extent outside London.\nWhat is Leeds United to our fans? Everyone will answer differently, but to me supporting Leeds United is a form of innocent rebellion. In a world where it is easy to latch yourself to a team that appears every week on the television, one that generally wins and suffers minimal lows and generally massive highs, supporting Leeds requires an effort. You have to listen to the radio, you have to picture it in your head, you have to go to the game if you want to see us play. You can\u2019t just sit on your couch. Why do you do it? Because you know it is worth it ultimately. Or, at the very least, you feel like it is at a the time. You are subverting the norm and you get the reward, because it feels more real.\nThis is why Leeds fans have secret symbols to identify each other by, such as the Leeds salute. It is why we have such a huge away following, because it is a band of rebels who travel together to games, supporting their club when logic and reason suggests that it is entirely wrong. It is a case of doublethink, where you have to kid yourself that doing it makes sense. But similarly, you don\u2019t, it just does.\nSo, therefore, there are two routes you can take in the image of the club you want to portray, and I genuinely think that sorting out the image of the club will make a big difference. You can be Man Utd-lite and fail to ever reach them, or you can craft your own ideal of what Leeds United can be. Look at St. Pauli in Germany. In a country where the likes of Bayern Munich make untold millions through ruthless marketing of the brand of being the best, St. Pauli have crafted a niche for themselves by being the outsiders. The reality is that they don\u2019t even have the capacity of Leeds, being a club run in the St. Pauli quarter of Hamburg, population 27,612, a city filled with successful football clubs. Yet they have managed to not only maintain a position of relative on-the-pitch success, they have also managed to draw in fans from around the world with their message of being \u201cThe Buccaneers of the League\u201d. Something so drastic does not need to occur at Leeds, but we do need to have our own identity. Right now we are just the club that loans players and sells our best. Why would people travel or bother to see that?\nIt would be a good idea to look at what has brought success to the club in the past and draw on it. Therefore, idea number two is to develop the Academy further and make this the focus of our club. Obviously we are not going to be Barcelona in terms of developing youth, but our major successes have come with building a team from the beginning and then bringing that through all levels. Look at recent developments like Sam Byram and Tom Lees. There is something about Thorp Arch that, even when neglected, allows us to bring through players coveted by other sides. We need to stop ignoring it, stop papering over the cracks, and instead invest the majority of our money in it. I\u2019ll forgive a lack of ambition in the transfer market if it means a reopening and rebuilding of the residential wing of Thorp Arch. It also draws people into the football club, inherently tying them to a set of players who have the same love of the club that they do. We need to develop a philosophy under a Director of Football that will survive despite coaching changes. In 1988, when Howard Wilkinson first came into Leeds, the club took a risk, spending money it did not have on Thorp Arch, his dream project. Ten years on, when the first fruits were being revealed to the world at large, we began our most successful recent period, culminating in reaching the Champions League semi-final. Take the same risk.\nIdea number three comes from a world of idealism, but is, I feel, the best way to bring fans back to Elland Road, which is what we are currently struggling horribly with. It is like a mausoleum when empty, and having a stadium of that size becomes a negative when the life is being drawn out of it. The idea is, therefore, to make each ticket worth what it costs. Look to Germany again, and the fact that Dortmund fans rebelled against \u20ac20 (\u00a317) tickets recently. That being Dortmund, current Bundesliga Champions and Champions League contenders. Our fans have sat and taken the ticket prices for a long time, but there is a sense that forgiveness is almost over. The end of the tether is being reached.\nI said to take a risk with the academy, and it is here again that I say to take a risk. I genuinely think that a full Elland Road is more important than spending huge on players. Look at our first season after promotion \u2013 we averaged 27,000 fans as success was built upon, even at high ticket prices, and those 27,000 would get behind the team, even when it was weak defensively and prone to errors. As John Lennon basically espouses in Imagine, and as might be seen as blind idealism, every philosophy and idea that we hold to be true is only held to be true due to collective belief in it. It\u2019s on a lower level than he spoke, but who is to say football tickets in this country should be \u00a330 a go. If you look at the relative entertainment value, a family can choose between the cinema, where tickets will cost no more than \u00a310 and a satisfying ending is almost certainly guaranteed, or Elland Road, where sadness is the norm. You can buy tickets in Germany, for Bayern Munich, the aforementioned ridiculously successful team, for \u20ac9. Not only do they see the football for that, but they also have public transport to the ground paid for. Why not, when thinking about next season, jump off the cliff into that pool of water, know that you can do it, know that you can build a club that can sell out Elland Road at a much lower ticket price, therefore making up the difference. Aside from the increased attendance, it will do wonders for the club.\nLeeds is a one club city, with 750,700 people the potential fanbase for your club (this aside from the boundaries up to the nearest club of a relative size either side of Elland Road, which increases that capacity hugely). If you can get a child to attend Elland Road every season, at least once, tying themselves to the club, it will change entirely how much money is spent on the club. Yes, he may only have to pay \u00a35 entry, and his dad \u00a310, but that kid will then want a Leeds kit, he\u2019ll want a Leeds calendar, he\u2019ll want a Leeds gnome and a pair of Leeds slippers. You go from having \u00a340 spent on one disappointing day out every Boxing Day to \u00a315 spent on a day out at a full stadium, plus another \u00a370 spent on things that he needs to have, because he is Leeds.\nHow do you achieve this shift, whilst cutting prices massively? Firstly you actually advertise, something the previous ownership has been reticent to do, believing the existence of Leeds alone will draw people in (which it does, to an extent, but nowhere near enough). Secondly, you send representatives of the club out into the community. There are always injured players, and if they can walk, they can talk to kids in schools and sell Leeds United. You increase the number of free tickets given out to schools on a game-by-game basis. Forget those who complain about paying when those next to them attend for free \u2013 they should know that their experience is greatly improved by that attendance.\nWhat does this all achieve? You look at the likes of Dortmund, where every man in the city is a fan of the club, and you see the success it can bring. For their league game against Bayern last season, where they essentially won the title, they sold out the Westfalenstadion entirely, a capacity of 80,720. Furthermore, however, they had a waiting list of 250,000 fans who all wished to buy a ticket, but could not. You can basically guarantee that those fans who couldn\u2019t be in attendance spent money with the club over the course of the season, probably significant sums. How many individual fans would you estimate actually spend money with Leeds over the course of a season these days? About 40-50,000 at best (given season tickets are in the 10,000s)? Maybe a bit more? Why is it so minimal? Because the others are priced out of ever forming a bond with the team. You can almost certainly draw in each new generation of children as fans of the club, as long as they can ascend those steps whilst clutching their dad\u2019s hand, look out at a sea of white and hear a roar unlike any other they\u2019ve ever heard before. That\u2019s when they know what they are.\nSell the experience that being a Leeds fan is meant to evoke. That\u2019s what this would allow you to do. Having a full stadium, with everyone in the city behind the club, would help massively. We Leeds fans are insane, it is simple. If you get lots of us in one place, i.e. Elland Road, it is an experience like no other, and that solves the marketing issue. If you want to be really impressive, get behind the Safe Standing bid from the Football Supporters\u2019 Federation, because there is no reason why you shouldn\u2019t. You can bring Leeds into a new era or allow it to stagnate. If you bring us forward, the financial reward for you will be unbelievable. The reward for us will be having Leeds back.\nFollow Amitai Winehouse on Twitter (@awinehouse1). Do you agree?

His sophomore year he rushed for 1,455 yards and 16 touchdowns. In two-years he has had almost 3,000 all-purpose yards.\n2012 Highlights: He rushed for 183 yards and three touchdowns against Pope John Paul II.\nCoaches Q&A with Chad Brubaker:\nDescribe his strengths?\n\u201cHe can do a little bit of everything. He has a great skill set. He is a strong kid, pound-for-pound he is one of our strongest kids on our team. He has breakaway speed and runs with a lot of power. He likes to deliver a blow to a defensive player and make them miss. We would like to get him the ball more out of the back field this year. He has good hands We have some things in the works to try and get him the ball different ways this year. Also, he is a good pass blocker.\u201d\nHow much will he play defense for you this year?\n\u201cWe will pick and choose when he plays defense this season.\u201d\nFollow EasternPAFootball.com on Twitter @EPAFootball\nSpring-Ford hopes to continue recent run\nROYERSFORD \u2014 In the three seasons that Chad Brubaker has coached the Spring-Ford football team, the Rams have impressively increased their victory total from the previous year.\nWhile that trend will be virtually impossible to continue after last season\u2019s watershed 12-win campaign, no one should expect the Rams to fall back into the Pioneer Athletic Conference pack anytime soon.\nSpring-Ford (7-2 PAC-10, 12-3 overall last year) returns a couple of prime-time offensive threats in senior tailback Jarred Jones (982 yards, 8.1 ypc, 10 TDs) and do-it-all weapon Tate Carter (combined 1,305 rushing/receiving yards, 15 TDs) \u2014 a duo expected to spearhead Brubaker\u2019s multi-faceted attack.\nAccording to Brubaker, the Rams\u2019 biggest strengths appear to be a deep receiving corps and an offensive line he considers the strongest in his tenure at Spring-Ford.\nWith the graduation of three-year starting quarterback Hank Coyne, that position is still up for grabs between the trio of senior Zac DeMedio, junior Brandon Leacraft and junior Matt Daywalt. Carter will also figure into the mix in Wildcat sets for a squad that hopes to gradually gain its identity over the early part of the season.\n\u201cWe have to get through our first three games,\u201d Brubaker said. \u201cThat\u2019s going to set the tone. It won\u2019t define the year, but it will certainly set the tone. We start off with a good Whitehall team up there, then we have South Philadelphia and Perkiomen Valley at home. If we can come out of there 2-1 or 3-0, it sets us up for the rest of the season\u201d\nOn defense, end Mason Romano (67 tackles, six sacks) and tackle Robby Varner (60 tackles, two sacks) \u2014 both All-Area first-team picks last year \u2014 lead the way for the Rams.\n\u201cIt\u2019s going to come down to what the guy next to you is doing and what the guy next to him is doing,\u201d Varner said. \u201cWe just have to pull together.\n\u201cThe biggest challenge with a lot of new guys on the team is that we all have to know our assignments. That\u2019s the way we\u2019re going to win games: work together and know what we\u2019re doing. We need to study our opponents well, so we can learn their weaknesses and make them our strengths.\u201d\nComing tomorrow: Boyertown.\nCBS High School Football Top Ten\n7. Spring-Ford\nThe Rams were the surprise of the area last season, vaulting all the way to the District 1 Class AAAA championship game, where they lost to Coatesville, 59-28.

Tate, Jarred Jones and Michael Furmeister return kicks. Kicking off is Dave Gulati. We have a battle at the punting position.\u201d\nTop Newcomers: Sr. WR Mason Lucas; Sr. TE Tyliek Freeman\nCoaches comments:\nHow\u2019s your offensive line?\n\u201cZach Dorsey is moving from left guard to left tackle, he is a returning starter. The other returning lineman is Josh Boyer. He will play right guard. He platoons sometimes with Andy Cutler. Cutler will be at left guard. Chase Stine, Tyler German, Zach Smiley and Joe Goul will add depth on the line.\u201d\nYour quarterback is gone. Who will be your quarterback this year?\n\u201cWe are having a battle at quarterback position this summer to determine our starter. We have Senior Zac DeMedio and two Juniors. They are Matt Daywalt and Brandon Leacraft. All three kids have one thing in common, little experience at the varsity level. We may not make a decision until week one.\u201d\nHow about your running game?\n\u201cWe have two great backs back. They are Jarred Jones and Tate Carter. Carter plays everywhere on the field. Michael Furmeister is another back that could see some time. Our fullback will be by committee.\u201d\nHow\u2019s your receivers look?\n\u201cWe have the most depth at receiver spot. Gary Hopkins was our leading receiver, he\u2019s back. Tate Carter is back. The other seniors that are back include, Joe Sink and Cody Davis. Mason Lucas, Danny Matthews, Brandon Barone, Connor Murphy, Alec Welsh and Will Meredith add depth. We also have a transfer from Pope John Paul II, he is Jon Traywick.\u201d\n\u201cAt tight end we are moving Tyliek Freeman from wide receiver to tight end. He has worked real hard this off-season. Alec Vagnozzi is back at H-Back and he started a couple of games at fullback for us last year. The other tight end is Bryce Rhodenbaugh.\u201d\nHow\u2019s your defensive line?\n\u201cMason Romano and Robby Varner were all-league defensive tackles. Mason probably will move to defensive end or play some tackle. Where he was all-league as a sophomore. The defensive tackle position is wide-open. Zach Smiley is in the mix. We did move Alec Vagnozzi from linebacker to end. We think it\u2019s a better fit for him.\u201d\nHow are your linebackers?\n\u201cAndy Lovre-Smith saw some time as a sophomore and started as a junior, he\u2019s back. We moved Jake Leahy from defensive end to linebacker this summer to see how he can adapt. If Matt Daywalt isn\u2019t our quarterback he has a chance to start at linebacker or defensive end. Jarred Jones and Connor Murphy will see sometime at linebacker. Tim Vu adds depth.\u201d\nHow\u2019s your secondary look?\n\u201cJoe Bush and Jared Shoemaker are returning corners. Michael Furmeister, Joe Sink, Tate Carter and Cody Davis will battle at the safety spot.\u201d\nWhat are your keys this year?\n\u201cWe are moving some kids around and it will depend on how quickly they pick up their new positions. We need to find leadership from the senior class. We have the ability to be good. It\u2019s going to be a matter of coaching the little things. It\u2019s important to get off to a good start.\u201d\nCarter Featured on www.easternpafootball.com\nATHLETE SPOTLIGHT \u2013 Tate Carter \u2013 Spring-Ford\nWritten by: David Mika on Sunday, July 28th, 2013\nTate Carter, Spring-Fordt.carter\nPosition(s): ATH/QB/TB/WR/DB\nStarting experience: His sophomore year he returned some punts and kicks. He played more receiver for us last year. But he was all over the field. This year he will play both sides of the ball.\n2012 Stats: At quarterback he was 3 of 4 passing for 38 yards and one touchdown. He rushed for 714 yards on 101 carries and 10 touchdowns. He was the leading receiver with 43 catches for 586 yards and five touchdowns. He had 1,540 all-purpose yards.\n2012 Highlights: His top rushing game was against Pottstown. He rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns.\nHonors: Honorable mention All-PAC-10 team as a athlete.\nWhat are his strengths on the field?\n\u201cTate had the strongest arm on our team last year. He\u2019s as quick as anyone on the team. He may be our punter this year. He can do pretty much anything he put\u2019s his mind to. He has worked real hard on his speed this summer. He looks really quick in spring practice. I think he opened a lot of eyes in his game against Coatesville. Even though we got blown out, everyone was talking to me about the game he had.\u201d\nHe played many positions for you last year. How many different ways did he score?\n\u201cLast year he played quarterback. He ran for a touchdown and threw a touchdown. At tailback he ran for touchdowns. He played fullback which I believe he ran for a touchdown. At receiver he caught touchdowns.\u201d\nDo you put packages in for him each week?\n\u201cWe have a package every week as far as what we are going to do with Tate. We can match him up on somebody, so we have the advantage. We except huge things from him this year. On defense we may move him around at times. He is very versatile and he can do so many things.\u201d\nVideo Highlights: Click here\nSpring-Ford Football Releases 2013 Slogan and Graphic\nYenchick, Team Liberty win second PAC-10 Senior Bowl\nbsankey@21st-centurymedia.com\nROYERSFORD \u2014 Ryan Yenchick made the most out of his final scholastic football game, and Phoenixville teammate Brian Madden made it a fond memory as well.\nThe two Phantoms played instrumental roles Sunday afternoon as Team Liberty defeated Team Freedom, 28-12, in the second annual Pioneer Athletic Conference Senior Bowl at Spring-Ford High School\u2019s Coach McNelly Stadium.\nYenchick snagged seven receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns as Liberty broke out to a 28-0 halftime lead in posting the victory, its second straight in the all-star classic. Yenchick caught a 17-yard scoring pass from Methacton quarterback Brandon Bossard and then a 26-yarder from Pottsgrove signal caller Tory Hudgins.\nMadden, who played linebacker on defense for Liberty, returned an interception 32 yards for a touchdown, the first one of the game, that set the tone for Liberty\u2019s victory. It came with 6:36 remaining in the opening period, and Perkiomen Valley\u2019s Brett Davis tacked on the first of four placements.\n\u201cI dropped three balls, but then the other guys helped pick me up,\u201d said Yenchick, who will continue his football career at Salisbury University. \u201cI got back in a zone and was able to catch some passes.\u201d\nHudgins completed 5 of 13 passes for 104 yards and one TD, and Bossard finished 7-for-15 for 87 yards and one score.\nLiberty outgained Freedom in total yardage, 290-229, on the day, and Liberty also was active on defense with three interceptions. Besides Madden\u2019s pick, Spring-Ford\u2019s Ben Schein and Perkiomen Valley\u2019s Martise Ray also pilfered passes.\nLiberty also unleashed abundant pressure up front, pressuring Freedom quarterbacks Sage Reinhart of Pottstown and Hank Coyne of Spring-Ford all afternoon. Paced by Spring-Ford defensive end Zameer McDowell\u2019s three sacks, Liberty totaled six sacks in all. Pope John Paul II\u2019s Josh Bildstein made 1.5 sacks from his defensive tackle spot, while linebackers Zach Birch of Pottsgrove had one and Mike Reiner of Perkiomen Valley a half sack.\n\u201cOur whole defense was outstanding,\u201d said Liberty head coach Scott Reed of Perkiomen Valley. \u201cOur whole defense played well.\u201d\nMcDowell, who registered all three of his sacks in the opening quarter, also deflected a pass and blocked an extra point. Liberty also got pursuit from the other end by Spring-Ford teammate RJ Sheldon, who batted down a pass.\n\u201cWe did great on defense and our D-line really helped,\u201d said Yenchick. \u201cThey were getting the edge and breaking up the play of the quarterbacks.\u201d\nReinhart finished 12-for-18 for 133 yards with one INT and one TD, a 30-yarder to PJP\u2019s Jamel Stinson that put Freedom on the board in the third period. Coyne closed at 5-for-15 for 78 yards with two INTs and one TD, a 17-yarder to PJP\u2019s Chris Veisbergs.\n\u201cWe started getting it together in the second half,\u201d Reinhart said. \u201cWe came out on fire \u2013 didn\u2019t want to get kicked around anymore. We played a lot better, but it wasn\u2019t enough.\u201d\nTeams being chosen by a draft instead of being selected by region \u2013 meaning high school teammates lined up against one another all throughout the contest \u2013 made for quite a reality shift, especially for the quarterbacks.\n\u201cWe came out here to have a good time. It was funny playing against some of the boys I\u2019ve been playing against. I grew up with a lot of these guys. (Pottstown teammate Andrew) Gazzillo got after me a couple times.\u201d\nVeisbergs made six receptions for 88 yards, and Stinson had six catches for 87 yards.\n\u201cRyan Yenchick made several huge plays for us offensively,\u201d said Reed. \u201cIt was really fun for the kids. They had a couple weeks to play together. Our quarterbacks did a good job of throwing it out there.\u201d\nReed praised all the senior players on both sides for concentrating on the game with all that seniors have going on at this time of year with graduation approaching as well as other events.\nAn interception was quite a way for Madden to punctuate his high school career.\n\u201cIt was my first ever interception in a game,\u201d said Madden. \u201cI am kind of glad it was in my last game and I even got a touchdown. It was kind of nice for three of the four touchdowns coming from our team. He (Yenchick) really comes up big.\u201d\nThe rules for the game put the accent on passing. But Spring-Ford\u2019s Yousef Lundi of the Liberty scored on a 5-yard run and gained 68 yards on 19 tries, including one 23-yard burst up the middle.\nSpring-Ford\u2019s Kyle Hoffner of Freedom picked up 25 yards rushing on four tries.\nLiberty\u2019s Josh Bildstein of PJP and Freedom offensive lineman Brian Hyland of Phoenixville were each awarded $500 scholarships from the PAC-10 Football Coaches Association. ... Jon Klinger, a junior from Pottsgrove, won the halftime kicker challenge. ... A PAC-10 Underclass Challenge was also held Saturday at Phoenixville with competition among juniors, sophomores and freshmen in running and other skills.\nFrom football to Fallujah, Spring-Ford grad still helping out after all these years\nJim Haldeman played three years of football and baseball at Spring-Ford High School. In between, there was that senior year of wrestling.\n\u201cOne of my friends from football was on the (wrestling) team and asked me to come out,\u201d Haldeman recalled last week. \u201cI never really wrestled before, but I wanted to help the team any way I could. Hey, we went on to win the Ches-Mont League championship that year, so I was just happy to be able to help out in a small way.\u201d\nHaldeman has been helping others, especially his fellow Americans, ever since.\nAfter his outstanding athletic career at Spring-Ford (Class of 1973) and injury plagued football career at Holy Cross University, Haldeman has spent nearly his entire adult life in the air \u2014 where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Marines and is an American Airlines captain. And never, not once, has he neglected to lend a hand to whomever \u2026 whenever or wherever needed.\nIronically, performing on the playing fields and in the classrooms, overcoming his own misfortunes as well as supporting and guiding others through their share of adversity, and stepping up when all of America was nearly brought to its knees by terrorists on 9/11 \u2014 just being able to grasp what\u2019s significant and insignificant, knowing right from wrong \u2014 unknowingly became Haldeman\u2019s conviction as a youngster.\n\u201cI grew up in a family-oriented community, when we didn\u2019t have (a highway) exit dedicated to Royersford,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone kind of knew everyone.\n\u201cThe support from every member of the families who had kids involved in athletics was just incredible. All the parents were our mentors, our friends. You always tried to do what was right, always tried to stay out of trouble, because you knew if you didn\u2019t someone would find out, someone would know.\u201d\nAnd then, as Haldeman noted, you had to go home and face your own parents.\n\u201cYou didn\u2019t want to embarrass yourself or your family,\u201d he explained. \u201cAll the families, all your friends, looked after one another. Everyone was there for you. It just seemed as though everyone in the community was intimately engaged.\n\u201cThere was this unity, this fraternity \u2026 a collective energy.\u201d\nHaldeman, the son of Mary Jane Haldeman and the late James Haldeman, wasn\u2019t faultless, of course. But before he graduated from Spring-Ford, he was known throughout the community for his drive and competitiveness on the football field.\nAs a junior, he broke the tip of his right hipbone in the first game \u2014 a 21-14 loss to Wilson (West Lawn). In the next-to-last game, he fractured the tip of his left hipbone \u2014 in a 22-21 win over Pottstown. But he played through all that pain, came back his senior year to start every game and finished, at that time, as Spring-Ford\u2019s career leader in scoring and among the top three in rushing, receiving and total offense.\nHe was selected to the All Ches-Mont and Associated Press\u2019 All-State teams, and played in the Montgomery County All-Star Game. He was recruited by a number of schools before opting to go to Holy Cross.\nDespite starting his entire freshman year for the Crusaders, Haldeman couldn\u2019t run away from the injuries.\n\u201cI was always in the infirmary,\u201d he said, breaking into a laugh. \u201cI had a broken foot, broke my elbow, separated my shoulder, blew out both of my hamstrings. And I had a few concussions.\n\u201cIt was frustrating. Years later I was still limping, and then I eventually had two back surgeries as a result (of playing) football.\u201d\nBut, to this day, Haldeman has no regrets.\n\u201cIt\u2019s kind of funny when I look back at it. Great running backs find ways not to get hit. I wasn\u2019t able to do that, I guess. At times it was very depressing because I felt I had more to contribute to the team.\n\u201cFor me it was like my own little Red Badge of Courage. If I didn\u2019t (play football) I wouldn\u2019t have had all those injuries. But if I didn\u2019t (play football) I wouldn\u2019t be blessed to have all the great memories I have.\u201d\nOne thing Haldeman did have, in the end, was a bachelor\u2019s degree in sociology.\nAfter graduating from Holy Cross and returning home, Haldeman admitted he wasn\u2019t sure what he wanted to do.\n\u201cHonestly, I always had an interest in the service, what I didn\u2019t know was how to offer myself to the military,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut when I was back home I ran into (former Spring-Ford athlete) Alan Lewis, who was in the Marine Corps. He told me I could basically do anything I wanted because the Marine Corps offered so much.\n\u201cThat put so much excitement back into my life. It really motivated me.\u201d\nThe chat actually inspired Haldeman to join the Marines. Over the next four years, he became an artillery officer and successfully completed paratrooper school at Fort Benning in Georgia.\nDropping out of the sky was one thing. Flying high above, though, was another.\n\u201cI actually never thought about (flying),\u201d Haldeman said. \u201cI thought being a ground officer was part of the (foundation) of the entire Marine Corps.\u201d\nThat is until he was sitting in the middle of the desert as a forward artillery officer at Twentynine Palms in California \u2014 a Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center \u2014 and watching what unfolded high above him.\n\u201cI saw the aviators doing some amazing things,\u201d he recalled. \u201cIt was some of the coolest things I had even seen. It was just magnificent, actually awe-inspiring.\u201d\nHaldeman, stationed at nearby Camp Pendleton, was so impressed he devoted what free time he had to learning how to fly at the Marine Corps Air Station in El Toro. He was taught to fly a Cessna and had 20 hours of experience, learning all the basic skills, when he took off for the flight school in Pensacola, Fla., in 1982. Two years later, he earned his flight wings.\n\u201cI was lucky enough to get myself into jets like the A-4 Skyhawk, the F-4 Phantom and the F-18 Hornet,\u201d Haldeman said. \u201cThey are the jets the Blue Angels used in a lot of their flight shows. It was just a great time for me.\u201d\nHaldeman would fly the F-4 Phantom throughout his four-year assignment in Hawaii. But there was peace around the world, so Haldeman left active duty and teamed up with the Marine Air Corps Reserve after American Airlines hired him as a pilot in 1988.\n\u201cI flew out of Washington, D.C., and believe me when I say I think I saw every little city there was from east to west in this country,\u201d said Haldeman, who would also team up with the Marines\u2019 reserve squadron in the nation\u2019s capitol at Andrews Air Force Base.\nNow married, Haldeman and his wife, longtime flight attendant Toni, saw their lives take a couple of dramatic changes after arriving in Washington, D.C.\nIn January of 1991, just over a year after the beginning of the Gulf War, Haldeman was back on active duty. But throughout the 13 months of Operation Desert Storm \u2014 the aerial bombardment intended to help expel Iraqi troops from Kuwait \u2014 he never left the ground.\n\u201cIt turned out the air war was such an immediate success no one needed us,\u201d Haldeman explained. \u201cIraq had a very formidable air-to-air defense, but great strategy and great tactics, and great work by our aviators, was so successful in the first few days.\u201d\nIn 1997, due to family reasons, the Haldemans moved up to Rhode Island.\n\u201cIt was a change for us,\u201d Haldeman said, noting his wife stepped down as a flight attendant that year. \u201cBut I was still flying.\u201d\nNow flying out of Boston, most of Haldeman\u2019s flights took him to Los Angeles, Miami and Mexico City, to name a few of his destinations.\nAnd no sooner did the world enter the new millennium, that Haldeman retired from the Marines.\nThe Haldeman family, like every family in all of America, changed forever on September 11, 2001.\nFour passenger airliners \u2014 two each from American and United \u2014 were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. Their intentions were to fly the planes into buildings in suicide attacks.\n\u201cI was off that day,\u201d Haldeman remembered. \u201cAlmost immediately after the first plane hit I got a telephone call from a (pilot) friend, who told me to turn my television on because something really bad had happened in N.Y.\u201d\nBad was an understatement, of course.\nAmerican Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, both out of Boston\u2019s Logan Airport, crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex at 8:46 and 9:03 a.m. Thirty-four minutes later, American Airlines Flight 77 left Washington Dulles International Airport and crashed into the western side of the Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense. Then 26 minutes later, a fourth plane \u2014 United Airlines Flight 93, which had left Newark International Airport en route to San Franciso \u2014 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pa., after its passengers fought their hijackers and prevented an attack on the original target: the U.S. Capitol.\nBy the end of the morning, almost 3,000 people \u2014 including 227 civilians and the 19 hijackers about the four planes \u2014 died in the attacks.\nAll of America shook in disbelief.\n\u201cI turned my television on and saw the second plane go into the South Tower,\u201d Haldeman said. \u201cI immediately ran from my home to pick up my children at school. And then I turned on the Weather Channel, to check on the winds, because I felt the planes were just a ploy to penetrate the streets of New York with a suitcase nuke.\n\u201cIt didn\u2019t happen, but that was my thought at the time. We were packing up to get out of Rhode Island because I was fearful of a nuclear package going off. But when I saw (on the Weather Channel) that the winds were pushing directly east and would have no effect on us here if indeed there was a nuclear blast, we hunkered down.\u201d\nAs quickly as Haldeman heard of the attacks, he heard of who exactly was in the cockpit of two of those four planes.\n\u201cWithin a couple of hours I heard that I had lost two good friends, and my wife realized she either knew or was friends with every one of the flight attendants on the plane that hit the Pentagon,\u201d Haldeman mumbled. \u201cLike everyone else, we just couldn\u2019t believe what was happening.\u201d\nHaldeman struggled emotionally after hearing about the loss of his two friends \u2014 Capt. John Ogonowski, behind the controls of American Flight 11, and Capt. Charles \u201cChick\u201d Burlingame, aboard American Flight 77.\n\u201cJohn and \u2018Chick\u2019 were both military guys, big guys,\u201d Haldeman said. \u201cI was shocked to hear someone actually took them out. Sadly, (the terrorists) were able to activate the cockpit doors and open them. That was scary.\n\u201cNeither one of them had a chance. You\u2019re in there with five separate (seat) belts connected. You\u2019re really strapped in there. You just can\u2019t get out of them that quickly. John and \u2018Chick\u2019 never saw (the terrorists) coming. They didn\u2019t have a chance.\u201d\nHaldeman, as he had done so often in the past, wanted to help. He called a squadron in Washington, D.C., hoping to get on their personnel chart \u2026 \u201cBut they didn\u2019t need anyone,\u201d he explained. Never one to accept defeat, Haldeman went to the nearby reserve unit and he was greeted with open arms.\n\u201cI just made the decision to go back into the Marine Corps,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was such a profound day, such a tough day. It just blew me away how soundly we were defeated. It stunned me.\n\u201cI wanted to do something. I wasn\u2019t concerned about the actual event at that point because it was over and I couldn\u2019t do a thing about it. But I felt we were going to get involved, and I wanted to help. I was just trying to find a place I could somehow be utilized in some way.\n\u201cAll I know is that I needed a path to take my emotions, my pent-up anger. I knew where I needed to go.\u201d\nHaldeman remained part of the nearby reserve unit as he continued to fly for American Airlines out of Boston. Then in 2005, he found himself in Fallujah, right smack in the middle of the Iraq War.\n\u201cBeing able to go back into the Marine Corps and over to Iraq to help the cause really helped me,\u201d he admitted. \u201cIt was important for me to do that. I had to do something to rip the anger out of me. A lot of good things happened over there, and I was happy to be part of it.\u201d\nSoon after returning from a year in Iraq, Haldeman retired from the U.S. Marines.\nHaldeman\u2019s alma mater was more than happy to bring him back home twice since.\nIn 2006, he was inducted into Spring-Ford High School\u2019s Distinguished Wall of Fame, taking part in the graduation ceremonies that year. Earlier this year, he was inducted into the Spring-Ford High School Football Wall of Fame, being recognized as one of the special guests of honor during the team\u2019s annual banquet.\nJust before arriving at both events, before leaving Rhode Island for the long drive back to Royersford, Haldeman asked Spring-Ford athletic director Mickey McDaniel and head football coach Chad Brubaker the same question.\n\u201cHe asked us both if there was anything he could do to help us with the events,\u201d said McDaniel, who has known Haldeman since playing youth baseball in the former Royersford Area Youth Athletic League.\n\u201cHe\u2019s never changed.\u201d\nMcDowell, Sheldon excited for crack at fellow Ram Coyne in PAC-10 Senior Bowl\nROYERSFORD \u2013 For six long years, Zameer McDowell and R.J. Sheldon practiced with and played alongside Hank Coyne. Together, the Spring-Ford teammates and even closer friends sure won their share of football games, too.\nMcDowell and Sheldon, who lined up as tight ends and blocked for Coyne, caught their fair share of passes from him. They also doubled on the other side of the ball as defensive ends, which meant they also got an up-close look at Coyne during all those summer camp and weekday intra-squad scrimmages.\nBut never, except for an occasional high-five, pat on the back or smack on the rump, were McDowell or Sheldon \u2013 or anyone else on Spring-Ford\u2019s defense \u2013 ever permitted to lay a hand on Coyne.\nDefenses can get as fired up as they want during practices, but the quarterbacks are strictly off-limits \u2026 as in untouchable.\nSo guess who will indeed be a little amped for the second Pioneer Athletic Conference Senior Bowl on Sunday (3 p.m.) at none other than Spring-Ford High School\u2026\n\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting since seventh grade to hit Hank,\u201d said McDowell, who along with Sheldon will be part of the Team Liberty defense hoping to contain Coyne and Pottstown\u2019s elusive Sage Reinhart, as well as the rest of the Team Freedom offense.\n\u201cEveryone knows that during practices you can\u2019t hit the quarterback. I told (Coyne) I\u2019m coming after him, that I want to get at least five or six hits on him.\u201d\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been blocking for him all these years, but now we\u2019re getting a chance to go after him,\u201d added Sheldon. \u201cWe\u2019re kind of excited to be able to possibly put some shots on him.\u201d\nDon\u2019t misinterpret what the imposing 6-foot-5, 220-pound McDowell and 6-foot-3, 200-pound Sheldon are saying.\nHit Coyne? Absolutely. Hurt him? Absolutely not.\n\u201cWe definitely want to get after (Coyne), but our intent is not to hurt him,\u201d Sheldon said. \u201cHank\u2019s been hit pretty hard the last few years, but he\u2019s never been hit by us.\u201d\n\u201cNo way do I want to hurt Hank,\u201d McDowell said. \u201cBut I do want him to know how it feels to be hit by me.\u201d\nBoth McDowell and Sheldon plan to play Sunday much like they did throughout their careers at Spring-Ford.\nLast fall, McDowell \u2013 who accepted a scholarship to play football at California University (Pennsylvania) \u2013 was credited with five sacks among his 71 tackles, had 13 quarterback-hurries, broke up eight passes and intercepted one. He was a first-team All-PAC-10 and All-Area selection, and named The Mercury\u2019s Defensive Player of the Year. Sheldon \u2013 who accepted a scholarship to play football at Bucknell University \u2013 led the area with seven sacks among his 51 tackles, had 11 quarterback-hurries, and forced three fumbles while recovering three. He was a first-team All PAC-10 and All-Area selection as well.\nIn other words, both have proven to be quite proficient at getting to, and sometimes dumping, opposing quarterbacks.\nCoyne, who escaped opposing defenses\u2019 enough to throw for 2,023 yards and 25 touchdowns and help the Rams qualify for two straight postseason appearances \u2013 including last year\u2019s run to the District 1-AAAA final \u2013 is well aware of just how good McDowell and Sheldon are.\n\u201cI\u2019m not too concerned,\u201d said the personable Coyne, who nearly rewrote the entire passing section of the Spring-Ford single-season and career record book. \u201cThey\u2019re great friends of mine, and I know how they\u2019ll play. But it doesn\u2019t change (my approach) to the game much.\u201d\nCoyne sure has had a lot of time to dwell on exactly who will be attempting to run him down.\n\u201cAs soon as the rosters for the game came out (in late-March), Zameer came up to me and told me I\u2019d better be ready,\u201d Coyne said. \u201cI hadn\u2019t even seen (the rosters) yet when he told me that. But he\u2019s been telling me that in school everyday since.\u201d\nBoth McDowell and Sheldon know Coyne will be ready \u2026 and all three will be looking to finish their scholastic careers on a winning note.\n\u201cIt\u2019s going to be fun,\u201d said Coyne, who\u2019ll continue his football career at Juniata this fall. \u201cI just think it\u2019s a great opportunity for all of us to play our last football game at Spring-Ford.\u201d\nPerkiomen Valley head coach Scott Reed, who will guide Team Liberty, thinks it\u2019s even more.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a unique game because it\u2019s the only all-star game I know of where kids from the same school can actually play against each other,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s not truly all-stars because we have some players who weren\u2019t starters at their high schools, but want to be a part of this last game.\n\u201cIt\u2019s been great to see the camaraderie between the kids who they play against in the fall. I loved seeing the practice days go by as the kids move out of their comfort zone with teammates from their own schools and start to build a rapport with players from other schools.\u201d\nReinhart, who threw for 2,301 yards and 20 touchdowns and led the area with a 156.7 passing efficiency rating, will give the Liberty defense a different look with his ability to scramble. He and Coyne hope to reverse last year\u2019s inaugural outcome, a 41-17 Liberty romp. \u2026 Coyne and Reinhart won\u2019t be handing off at all to Pottsgrove standout Mark Dukes, who ran for an area-high 1,347 yards and 22 touchdowns last season for the PAC-10 champion Falcons. Dukes will not be able to participate after falling recently and suffering a shoulder injury. \u2026 Liberty\u2019s two quarterbacks are Methacton\u2019s Brandon Bossard and Pottsgrove\u2019s Tory Hudgins. Bossard, who is headed to Eastern Michigan, threw for 1,235 yards and ran for another 607 yards. Hudgins, who will team up with Sheldon at Bucknell, ran for 1,267 yards. \u2026 Reed has been very impressed with Pope John Paul II\u2019s Josh Bildstein and Jake Kopchuk, Boyertown\u2019s Corey Long, and Pottstown\u2019s Nate Flickinger during practices. \u201cThose four guys have been completely selfless in practice,\u201d Reed said. \u201cThey have practiced at positions they didn\u2019t always play during the year just so we would have the numbers to practice or scrimmage. I can\u2019t say enough about them.\u201d \u2026 Pottstown head coach Brett Myers will lead Team Freedom\u2019s staff.\nPerkiomen Valley graduate Zach Zulli, who as a junior quarterback last season at Shippensburg University won the prestigious Harlon Hill Trophy \u2013 Division II\u2019s version of the Heisman Trophy \u2013 was throwing the football around during Thursday night\u2019s practice session at Spring-Ford.\nS-F TD Club Summer Pigskin KO Classic\nZameer McDowell @ PSFCA E/W All-Star Game\nPAC-10 Senior Bowl Teams Announced\nsports@pottsmerc.com\nROYERSFORD \u2013 The draft is over and done with. Now it\u2019s time to play some more football.\nFor a good number of participants in the 2nd annual Pioneer Athletic Conference Senior Bowl, it\u2019ll be the last football game they play in \u2026 and for each and every one of them, it\u2019ll be the last game they ever play in representing their alma mater.\nThis year\u2019s event kicks off 3 p.m. Sunday, June 2 at Spring-Ford High School\u2019s Coach McNelly Stadium.\nBecause it\u2019s a seniors-only affair, no one lined up for the inaugural game. But Team Freedom, which was thumped 41-17, may get a bit of a \u201clet\u2019s get even\u201d pre-game sermon from Pottstown head coach Brett Myers, who will guide the Freedom squad against Liberty, which is being led by Perkiomen Valley head coach Scott Reed.\nAnd if this summer\u2019s game is anything like the first one, expect to see a lot of passing.\n\u201cSome of the offensive rules for the game are designed to encourage passing,\u201d said Spring-Ford head coach Chad Brubaker, who was in charge of the Liberty crew last year. \u201cThe teams have to play man coverage and five yards off the ball, which makes it a little tough to cover.\u201d\nMyers will certainly have two quarterbacks to handle the Freedom offense with Sage Reinhart, who was his starter at Pottstown the past two seasons, and Spring-Ford\u2019s Hank Coyne.\nThe elusive Reinhart threw for 2,301 yards and 20 touchdowns last season, while Coyne threw for 2,023 yards and 25 touchdowns in leading the Rams to the District 1-Class AAAA final. Both will have a few good receivers to throw to as well, among them being Pope John Paul II\u2019s Jamel Stinson and Pottstown\u2019s Antonio Moore. Stinson caught 35 tosses \u2013 the third straight season he had at least 25 receptions \u2013 and the lanky Moore averaged over 26 yards a catch on his 22 receptions. Owen J. Roberts\u2019 Colin Horrocks and Upper Perkiomen\u2019s Robert Brett are also listed as receivers.\nBalancing out the Freedom offense will be running backs Mark Dukes of PAC-10 champion Pottsgrove and Monroe Hampton of Pottstown. After missing half of his junior year because of injury, Dukes came back to pile up 1,347 yards and 21 touchdowns for the Falcons. Hampton was one of the most versatile backs in the league last fall, running for 1,033 yards and 20 touchdowns and catching 31 passes for another 369 yards and three scores.\nReed will counter with a more-balanced \u2013 if not more run-oriented \u2013 tandem of quarterbacks in Pottsgrove\u2019s Tory Hudgins and Methacton\u2019s Brandon Bossard. Hudgins, who will play at Bucknell this fall, ran for 1,267 yards and 23 touchdowns while taking snaps in the Falcons\u2019 vaunted ground game. Though rarely called on to pass, Hudgins completed 50 percent of his passes for 700 yards and five touchdowns. Bossard, who will play at Eastern Michigan in the fall, capped his outstanding career with the Warriors by throwing for 1,235 yards and 15 touchdowns and running for an additional 607 yards and six scores.\nBossard will have a familiar target to throw to in Methacton teammate Cooper Given, while the receiving corps also features Owen J. Roberts\u2019 Will Bradford, Perkiomen Valley\u2019s Davon Mitchell and Phoenixville\u2019s Sean Hesser.\nThe Liberty run game will be led by Phoenixville\u2019s Ryan Yenchick (1,113 yards), Spring-Ford\u2019s Yousef Lundi (1,057 yards) and Boyertown\u2019s Matt Moccia (802), a threesome that combined for 43 touchdowns. Methacton\u2019s Josh Meck could also get some touches.\nBoth teams have excellent kickers on their respective rosters, too. Freedom features Phoenixville\u2019s Ian Harrigan and Upper Perkiomen\u2019s Dylan Wesley, while Liberty has Methacton\u2019s Jose Holland and Perkiomen Valley\u2019s Brett Davis.\nPassing was the dominant statistic in Liberty\u2019s romp last year, as Pope John Paul\u2019s David Cotellese hit all seven of his attempts for 153 yards and three touchdowns. Spring-Ford\u2019s Andrew Scanlan, a redshirt freshman who is expected to vie for a starting position at Northwestern University this fall, caught four of Cotellese\u2019s tosses for 74 yards and a touchdown and also returned an interception for another score.\nThe team rosters are as follows:\nHead Coach \u2013 Brett Myers, Pottstown\nBoyertown: Gray Garber, DE; Nick McMenamin, OL.\nMethacton: Ernest Buono, DL; Tom Collis, LB; Chris He, DE; Dustin Keim, OL; Sean O\u2019Neill, LB; Jeremy Reid, OL; Andrew Steven, OL; Dillen White, RB.\nOwen J.

Sheldon has been very flexible and quite agreeable throughout his athletic career at Spring-Ford.\nGive him a position to play in baseball and football, or an event to compete in swimming, and Sheldon was there \u2026 without any opposition, without the least bit of hesitation.\nAnd while Sheldon has enjoyed his share of success in all three sports, as well as in the classroom \u2013 where he\u2019s a member of the National Honor Society \u2013 he\u2019ll soon be narrowing his grueling year-round schedule to include just one sport and, of course, academics.\nSheldon made that choice recently, albeit a surprising one to many who have played with or followed him the past three-plus years, after signing a national letter of intent to line up in Bucknell University\u2019s football program.\nThe 6-foot-3, 200-pound Sheldon has been one of the centerpieces of the Spring-Ford and Spring City American Legion baseball programs as an infielder and pitcher the past three years. He helped the Rams to a district title and second-place finish in the state tournament, then spent his summers helping the Red Sox to league and state regional titles as well as national regional appearances. And when it got cold outside, Sheldon was inside, in the pool setting school swimming records in several events and becoming a multi-event district qualifier.\nBut when push came to shove, and there sure was a lot of it in his three-year football career, he opted for the helmet and pads over the ball and bat (and the swimming shorts and cap).\n\u201cI really liked both (baseball and football),\u201d Sheldon explained. \u201cBut football was always in the back of my mind. I didn\u2019t block it out.\n\u201cI applied to a lot of schools, but I only applied to one school because of football. That was Bucknell. (Their coaches) came in here during my junior year and talked to me. They kept in contact.\u201d\nThe communication and interest was enough for Sheldon to give a verbal commitment last month, and he was tagged as a \u201cpreferred walk-on.\u201d A few weeks later, Bucknell \u2013 which competes in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Patriot League \u2013 announced it would be offering scholarships for the first time, and new head coach Joe Susan notified Sheldon he would be receiving a substantial scholarship.\n\u201cI want to go there for academics, and I want to go there to play football, too,\u201d explained Sheldon, who carries a reported 3.8 grade-point average and plans to study engineering at Bucknell. \u201cI think that\u2019s pretty cool. And the (scholarship money), well, that\u2019s kind of a bonus.\u201d\n\u201cI think all of this says a lot about what Bucknell\u2019s people think of him,\u201d Spring-Ford head coach Chad Brubaker said of Sheldon, who drew additional interest from many Division III schools. \u201cR.J. gave them a verbal, then they come back with a scholarship.\n\u201cI think (Bucknell) sees a huge upside to R.J. He\u2019s a three-sport athlete, and he has a lot of room on that frame of his to fill out. Now his focus will be on football, on the weight room \u2026 and he won\u2019t be burning off all those swimming calories.\u201d\nSheldon, the son of Rich and Sue Sheldon, was recruited as a defensive end, a position he manned rather well the past two seasons in helping the Rams to a Pioneer Athletic Conference championship and unprecedented back-to-back District 1-Class AAAA playoff appearances \u2013 including last year\u2019s run that didn\u2019t end until the district final against Coatesville. He was credited with 41 tackles \u2013 including a team and Pioneer Athletic Conference high seven sacks. He also had 11 quarterback-hurries, and forced three fumbles and recovered three. All that in addition to catching 23 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns, and punting well enough to earn all-league and Mercury All-Area honors for the third consecutive year.\nBy the time he stepped into the pool this winter, Sheldon was a PAC-10 first-team selection, two-way Mercury All-Area selection, and recipient of third-team all-state honors.\n\u201cBucknell recruited him as a defensive end, but I think he can play on either side of the ball,\u201d Brubaker said. \u201cHe has good hands, but he also has that fire. His biggest challenge (of playing at Bucknell) will be maintaining that intensity, that every-play intensity.\u201d\nSheldon doesn\u2019t anticipate a problem with that.\n\u201cBut I know I have to get a lot bigger,\u201d he explained. \u201cI was around 190-195 (pounds) during swimming, and I\u2019m up to around 200 now. I\u2019d like to get to 220 or 225. It\u2019ll take a little while, but I\u2019ll get there.\u201d\nSheldon is the second area player to sign with Bucknell, joining Pottsgrove standout Tory Hudgins. \u2026 Former Daniel Boone standout and 2011 Mercury Player of the Year Tommy Bodolus, who committed to Bucknell following his senior season but instead spent the past year as a post-grad at Cheshire Academy in Conn., will be joining Sheldon and Hudgins in the Bison program this fall. The 6-foot, 195-pound Bodolus \u2013 son of former St. Pius X and Daniel Boone head coach Dave Bodolus \u2013 is projected as a safety. \u2026 The Bison will also feature returning starter Lee Marvel, a junior linebacker from The Hill School who was third on the team in tackles last season.\nSpring-Ford\u2019s Gilmore catches on at Kutztown\nROYERSFORD \u2013 Michael Gilmore really enjoys the challenges of academics and football, as well as eating.\nNot a bad combination at all for someone who has always wanted to play college football \u2026 and just happens to be an offensive lineman.\nThe Spring-Ford senior has certainly handled nearly everything thrown at him in the classroom, earning a spot on the honor roll with his 3.4 grade-point average. And he has certainly handled nearly everyone attempting to get around or through him on the football field, where he\u2019s anchored a Rams\u2019 front line that\u2019s led the way to a Pioneer Athletic Conference championship and unprecedented back-to-back District 1-Class AAAA playoff appearances \u2013 including this past season\u2019s run to the district final against eventual state runner-up Coatesville.\nAnd eating \u2026 well, linemen do have to carry their weight.\nFortunately for Gilmore, he can enjoy all three \u2013 or the same routine \u2013 for the next four years after signing a national letter of intent recently to team up with Kutztown University.\nThe 6-foot-3, 235-pound Gilmore plans on studying biology or psychology, playing offensive tackle and, yes, eating a little more than he\u2019s accustomed to for a while.\n\u201cMichael is a smart kid, a very smart kid, a very good student,\u201d said Spring-Ford head coach Chad Brubaker. \u201cHe\u2019s also very athletic. He has good feet and good hands, and he can run a little bit, too. He always understood what needed to get done, and what we wanted to get done.\n\u201cHe also likes to eat. He was 265 (pounds) at one time, but played at right around 235. He had weight, but it was bad weight. He was in our weight room every day, and conditioned himself very well. Now he\u2019s going to have to put some weight back on, good weight, and build himself back up.\u201d\nAnd that shouldn\u2019t be a problem, especially when considering Gilmore has welcomed as well as whipped up on some tall orders throughout high school \u2026 obviously in the classroom, but on the football field and in the cafeteria, too.\nThat was certainly enough to generate a lot of interest from colleges.\n\u201cTwo years ago, playing college football was mostly a dream,\u201d Gilmore said. \u201cI knew how hard it was to get a shot, and it didn\u2019t matter what division you were thinking of, either.\n\u201cBut at the end of my junior year, schools started contacting me. Playing college football become more of a reality. And then at the end of last season Kutztown came back to me and showed a lot of interest.\u201d\nOr enough interest to offer a scholarship.\nGilmore \u2013 the son of Robert and Celeste Gilmore \u2013 could prove to be worthy of it all, too. He was a two-year starter and three-year letterman for Spring-Ford, doing the bulk of the grunt work up front that enabled the Rams to rewrite nearly the entire offensive section of the record book.\nThat\u2019s exactly what Kutztown has been doing in recent years. Last fall, the Golden Bears were only 7-4 but set a single-season school record for points scored. They also finished among the Top 10 in the national in points per game (fourth), passing yards per game (sixth), and total offense (ninth).\nHead coach Raymond Monica may have left for Arkansas Tech, but new head coach Drew Folmar served as Kutztown\u2019s offensive coordinator the previous four seasons \u2013 and it was the offense that underlined the team\u2019s school-record 10 wins in 2010 and then new-record 11 wins in 2011, both of those teams advancing into the NCAA Division II playoffs.\n\u201cI think it\u2019ll be exciting for him to join coach Folmar\u2019s program,\u201d Brubaker said of Gilmore, who was an All-Pioneer Athletic Conference and Mercury All-Area selection as an offensive lineman.\nGilmore himself felt the same after visiting the campus and meeting, among others, offensive lineman Nick Maloney from Pottstown, wideout Casey Perlstein from Upper Perkiomen, and the coaches.\n\u201c(The coaches) told me I\u2019m coming in as an offensive tackle,\u201d Gilmore explained. \u201cI could possibly move to guard. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019ll red-shirt or not, but the opportunity to do that is there.\n\u201cI know they\u2019d like to see me up around 265 to 270 (pounds) by my sophomore year. I know I have to get stronger, too, so I\u2019ll work hard in the weight room.\u201d\nSpring-Ford multi-sport standout McDowell opts for football at Cal U\nROYERSFORD \u2013 Zameer McDowell thought junior high school football was a lot of fun.\nBut high school football was entirely different story \u2026 at first.\n\u201cMy sophomore year was the closest I came to quitting,\u201d McDowell recalled earlier this week. \u201cI didn\u2019t like coach (Chad) Brubaker, who was in his first year here (at Spring-Ford). I just wasn\u2019t happy.\u201d\nGood thing McDowell got buddy-buddy with Brubaker and didn\u2019t turn in his uniform and walk. The tight end-defensive end played a major role in Spring-Ford winning a Pioneer Athletic Conference championship and making unprecedented back-to-back District 1-Class AAAA playoff appearances \u2013 including this past season\u2019s run to the district final against eventual state runner-up Coatesville.\nThe 6-foot-5, 225-pound McDowell\u2019s contributions didn\u2019t go unnoticed, either, because he recently signed a national letter of intent with Division II power California University of Pa.\nNot bad for someone who thought about giving up on football and concentrating on basketball, the sport many expected him to continue playing in college after starting for four years, breaking a couple of school records along the way, and scoring more than 1,000 points for Spring-Ford.\n\u201cI was thinking a lot more about basketball, but before (my junior season) coach Brubaker told me to keep trying in football, that if I had a real good season more opportunities would open up,\u201d McDowell explained.\nMcDowell didn\u2019t exactly mend his ways with Brubaker when his junior season kicked off. He missed his share of preseason workouts, yet still managed to work his way into a three-man rotation at defensive end with teammates R.J. Sheldon and Mason Romano.\n\u201cCoach Brubaker told me I had a chance to play,\u201d McDowell explained. \u201cBut he also told me I had to get dedicated. He told me I had to get into the weight room, that I had to do stuff I didn\u2019t really want to do.\n\u201cCoach just wanted me to keep my head on straight. He wanted me to stay focused this season. He told me if I had a real good season more opportunities would open up. So he just didn\u2019t want me to limit myself. He wanted me to see everything, what opportunity would be best for me.\u201d\nMcDowell was named to PAC-10\u2019s first team in basketball a year ago. But he was also selected to the PAC-10\u2019s first team as a defensive end and second team as a tight end in football this past fall, too. And soon after making The Mercury\u2019s All-Area first team \u2013 and being named the publication\u2019s Defensive Player of the Year \u2013 he received honorable mention all-state honors as a defensive end.\n\u201cI think I had a pretty good season this year,\u201d McDowell said, breaking into a noticeable grin.\n\u201cAll (of the honors and scholarship to California) are a testament to Zameer not putting all his eggs in one basket,\u201d Brubaker said. \u201cIt shows you don\u2019t have to specialize, nor should you specialize in one sport. We encourage kids to play other sports here at Spring-Ford.\n\u201cI think in the middle of last season is when everything started to click for him (in football). Maybe basketball was his No. 1 choice, but guys his size are guards at most of the good schools. We just felt if he had a good year (in football) that he was going to get looks and offers.\u201d\nThe interest in McDowell spanned throughout the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. But it was California, which owns one of the most successful and storied programs in the PSAC, that snared McDowell\u2019s signature.\n\u201cZameer is projected as a tight end for (California),\u201d Brubaker said. \u201cHe has great hands. But he\u2019s also aggressive enough to play defensive end, too.\u201d\n\u201cI know I have to get bigger,\u201d added McDowell, who plans to study business management at California. \u201cThe tight ends coach would like me to get stronger, too, and shoot to bench 225 pounds in three sets of 10. The team\u2019s tight end last year was around 245 pounds.\n\u201cI have a chance to start, a chance to get playing time. But I know I have to get stronger and have to get in better shape. I think that\u2019ll be easier focusing on one sport. My body will get a little rest and the natural ability will show up more.\u201d\nMcDowell will be the first player from the PAC-10 to play at California, better known as Cal U and located along the Monongahela River in Washington County just outside Pittsburgh. \u2026 Under rookie head coach Mike Kellar, the Vulcans were 8-3 last fall, ending a string of five straight double-digit win seasons and five straight appearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs \u2013 including three straight runs to the national semifinals (2007-09). \u2026 The program, which began in 1916 and owns over 400 wins, hasn\u2019t had a losing season since 2003 (4-7).\nSix S-F gridders to play in college\nROYERSFORD - Spring-Ford enjoyed a fantastic football season last fall under head coach Chad Brubaker.\nThe Rams advanced all the way to the District 1 Class AAAA finals before succumbing to former Ches-Mont League rival Coatesville, which wound up as the state runner-up to North Allegheny.\nNow, six of those Rams who received numerous accolades and helped make all the achievements possible have announced they will be playing at the next level in college.\nTight end Zameer McDowell, defensive end RJ Sheldon, offensive lineman Mike Gilmore, quarterback Hank Coyne, running back Yousef Lundi and offensive lineman Justin Meals will be playing in the collegiate ranks.\nMcDowell will be lining up for California (Pa.), Sheldon at Bucknell, Gilmore at Kutztown, Coyne at Juniata, Lundi at Millersville and Meals at Wesley (Del.).\nThe Ram gridders announced their choices during a press briefing last Wednesday evening at the senior high school. Parents and other family members were on hand for the selections.\nMcDowell, a 6-5, 220-pounder, starred at tight end and defensive end for the Rams. He will be playing offense in college. McDowell also starred for the Spring-Ford boys basketball team during his career and finished his years as a 1,000-point scorer on the court. McDowell established a Spring-Ford school record in basketball by scoring 44 points in a contest against Phoenixville.\n\u201cIt was how the season went really well,\u201d McDowell said of which sport to pursue. \u201cI thought I would probably do better with football.\u201d\nMcDowell made honorable mention All-State as well as first team All-Pioneer Athletic Conference as a defensive end and second team All-PAC-10 as a tight end.\n\u201cI liked most about the football program was that over time we were pretty good,\u201d said McDowell. \u201cWe won a lot of games.\u201d\nMcDowell plans to study business management.\nHe feels catching the ball in traffic with his good hands is his biggest asset as a football player.\n\u201cI liked how whenever we went out to play, we were expected to win,\u201d said McDowell. \u201cIt was a fun experience to make it to the (district) championship game, even though we didn\u2019t win.\u201d\nMcDowell also considered Bloomsburg and Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) as possible colleges.\nMcDowell said the skills he developed in basketball as a rebounder going for the ball also assisted him in making difficult receptions during football season. However, the transition from football season to basketball season, he said, was difficult because he was out of conditioning shape to run up and down the floor for hoops.\nSheldon, a 6-3, 205-pounder, has been an exceptional football player, swimmer and baseball player at Spring-Ford, which is a unique combination for any student-athlete. Also outstanding in the classroom, Sheldon felt Bucknell in Lewisburg, Pa., was the right fit for him. He plans to major in engineering.\nRJ is the son of Sue and Rich Sheldon.\n\u201cObviously, academics were my main priority,\u201d said Sheldon. \u201cBucknell definitely has that. I also felt at home there. I liked it when I went up there and felt it was the right fit for me.\u201d\nSheldon was a tight end, defensive end and punter for the Rams, and he will be playing defense for the Bison. Sheldon earned third team All-State honors as well as first team all-league honors at defensive end as well as the PAC-10\u2019s Joseph Edwards Scholarship Award.\nDefensively this past fall, Sheldon made 41 tackles with 11 hurries, three fumbles cause and three fumbles recoverede as well as a league-high seven sacks. On offense, Sheldon had 23 catches for 359 yards and three touchdowns.\nHe said he will not be joining the swim team at Bucknell, but offered that the team does utilize swimming in some of its workouts.\n\u201cIt\u2019s really been a good accomplishment,\u201d Sheldon said. \u201cThe work definitely paid off for four years. We did what no team has ever done and showed that we could compete out of the league. We beat outside teams. We showed we could this year.\u201d\nSheldon also looked at smaller schools in making his decision, but he made the decision to attend a bigger site like Bucknell about a month ago.\nSheldon is a Spring-Ford school record-holder in two events in swimming. He has played infield and pitched for the baseball team. He had bigger numbers during summer Senior American Legion baseball for the Chester County League\u2019s Spring City Red Sox, where he posted a 4-0 mound record in 21 innings pitched with a 1.71 earned run average, 27 strikeouts and limited batters to a .162 on-base average.\nGilmore, a 6-3, 245-pound lineman, has been a letterwinner in football and track & field for the Rams. He was a first team all-league offensive lineman.\n\u201cI love the campus,\u201d said Gilmore about Kutztown. \u201cIt was the kind of school where I left I felt it was the place where I like it here. That was a big factor.\n\u201cThe previous year we won, and I had a great time in the program. I lked the way we turned things around.\u201d\nGilmore plans to focus on biology or psychology in college.\nHe thinks he may have to bulk up in order to play offensive tackle in college so he may have to start out at guard until he adds some more weight to his frame with weightlifting.\n\u201cIt (success) really reflects the hard work we put in and I did more to help us win,\u201d said Gilmore. \u201cIt was a great way to end it. We got close to something.\u201d\nGilmore has participated for two years at Spring-Ford after the family moved here from the southern Wisconsin area.\nMike is the son of Robert and Celeste Gilmore.\nCoyne, a 6-2, 180-pounder, was the PAC-10\u2019s first team quarterback as a senior and was voted Offensive MVP for his record-setting passing statistics while directing the Rams to the district finals. Coyne set records for touchdown passes and passing yards for the Rams and was named Opposing Player of the Year.\nHe received all-state recognition, was a Mini-Maxwell Award winner and Touchdown Club winner as well as a varsity team captain.\nHank is the son of Hank and Linda Coyne. The younger Coyne is also a baseball player at Spring-Ford and also played basketball as a freshman. Coyne guided the Rams to the PAC-10 football title as a junior while garnering more honors.\nHe feels his passing abilities will continue for Juniata\u2019s offense, where Will Lawing is the offensive coordinator. Juniata runs a similar offense to SF, which should enhance Coyne\u2019s skills.\n\u201cI fell in love with the campus,\u201d said Coyne. \u201cIt is a tight-knit community so there is a comfort level. I liked what the coaches had to offer. They didn\u2019t beat around the bushes. I want to play all four years. I have that opportunity to compete.\u201d\nJuniata has not had much success on the gridiron in recent years, but Coyne hopes to be part of a turnabout, the way he was under Brubaker at Spring-Ford.\nCoyne plans to study biness and Spanish in college.\nHank\u2019s father, the offensive line coach at Owen J. Roberts, also attended Juniata. There are relatives some 90 minutes away, too, so he figures he will feel right at home.\nLundi, a 6-0, 20-pounder, picked Millersville for academics with his plans to study nursing. He also looked at IUP and Albright.\n\u201cIt is a very nice campus, a nice place to be, not too close and not too far,\u201d said Lundi.\nMillersville is in a building process and Lundi wants to be part of that growth.\nRunning track has enabled Lundi to stay in shape year-round and accelerate his speed and quickness.\n\u201cI keep my feet up and that helps my foot speed,\u201d he said.\nMeals, a 6-2, 270-pounder, will continue his blocking in the offensive line at Wesley.\n\u201cIt is a small-school environment and the football team has definitely had success in the last 10 years,\u201d said Meals. \u201cI like the environment around there a lot.\u201d\nMeals plans to study business and figures he will be playing an offensive guard position.\nHe also looked at Albright and Delaware Valley.\nWesley utilizes the run and pass so Meals figures he will be in much of the same blocking schemes he was at Spring-Ford.\n\u201cThey run a lot of shotgun,\u201d said Meals.\n\u201cWe did a lot. We set standards for years to come for other teams. We let people know who we are outside the PAC-10. We proved them wrong and beat those teams.\u201d\nSix Spring-Ford seniors land in college ranks\nClick to read each player's individual profile\nPAC-10sports.com's Featured Athlete of the Week\nBEN SCHEIN\u2019S FAVORITE THINGS\nAthlete: David Taylor (Penn State wrestler)\nTV Show: Big Bang Theory\nFood: Cheesesteak\nROYERSFORD \u2013 Ben Schein first felt the hypnotic glare of the Friday Night Lights 10 years ago.\nThe young Ben was working the sideline as a Spring-Ford High ball boy when he first experienced the pageantry and excitement borne out of high school football.\nSchein liked everything about it \u2013 the noise, the fans, the action- and was immediately hooked.\nThe pulsating ambience hit the Spring-Ford senior with all the force of a Ray Lewis blindside shot to the ribs, triggering a dream that Schein would one day become a more active participant in the proceedings.\n\u201cI couldn\u2019t have been more than 8 or 9, and I was just starting to learn about football,\u201d said Ben Schein, whose father Steve Schein \u2013 a longtime head coach at Upper Merion \u2013 had joined the Rams coaching staff as an assistant. \u201cI thought everything about the atmosphere was great, the Friday Night Lights, and that\u2019s where it all started. I always dreamed about playing football for Spring-Ford.\u201d\nThe dream became reality soon enough.\nDespite being undersized at 5-foot-9 and 150 pounds, Ben put on the pads and became a little giant, sharing in a major piece of Spring-Ford football history.\n\u201cI know that I\u2019m not the most gifted athlete,\u201d said Schein. \u201cI wasn\u2019t given the frame or the skill set of a college football player. Most of my success came from hard work and knowing the mental aspect of the game. We spent a lot of time off the practice field, studying film and preparing for our opponents. We usually knew what the other team was going to do.\u201d\nSchein parlayed that knowledge into on-field success. The cornerback/wide receiver helped the Rams score the first three postseason victories in school history and advance all the way to the District One Class AAAA championship.\nIt was a thrilling ride for Schein, who said he\u2019s getting a better handle on what was accomplished as each day passes.\n\u201cWhen we upset Ridley (28-26 in second round of the playoffs), the feeling was unbelievable,\u201d said Schein, a 2012 second team all PAC-10 conference selection at defensive back. \u201cThe atmosphere was like nothing I\u2019d ever experienced. We were all standing there in front of the band while they played our alma mater, and I was with Hank Coyne, R.J. Sheldon and Kyle Hoffner \u2013 guys I\u2019d been playing together with since we were little kids.\u201d\nThose are the shining moments that make all the blood, sweat and tears seem worthwhile.\nSpring-Ford would go on to handle Pennridge 35-24 and earn a trip to the district final \u2013 where the Rams ran out of road in a 59-28 loss to powerful Coatesville.\nOn the defensive side of the ball, Schein finished the season with a team-high three interceptions, 11 passes defended, one fumble recovery, one forced fumble and 3.3 tackles per game. He also caught 14 passes for 129 yards and three touchdowns, adding 11 conversion kicks for 29 total points.\nNumbers aside, Schein truly excelled in the cerebral aspects of the game. That should come as no surprise, considering the National Honor Society member ranks second in his class of 578 and holds down a mind-boggling 101.7 GPA.\n\"Ben treated football much like we ask all of our players, like another class,\u201d said Spring-Ford coach Chad Brubaker. \u201cHe studies our opponents and knows what to expect and when to expect it. That knowledge, coupled with game situations, enabled him to anticipate upcoming plays and react accordingly.\u201d\nSchein took that same heady approach to the wrestling mats this season. Although he lost his spot in the Rams postseason lineup after going 7-7, Ben exits the program with something far greater than any district title \u2013 a sense of purpose and perspective.\n\u201cWrestling is the most physically and mentally challenging sport I\u2019ve ever participated in,\u201d said Schein, the son of Stephanie and Steve Schein. \u201cIt\u2019s really special and instills so many great qualities. The benefits of wrestling extend far beyond athletics.\n\u201cComing into the season, I had only one varsity match to my credit. I got tossed around a little bit and I didn\u2019t have all the glory, but I did have some success on a couple of occasions.\u201d\nThe unquestionable high point for Ben came in a 28-24 win over Boyertown when he upset heavily-favored Reuben Maldonado 8-3 at 138 to put the Rams in front to stay with one match remaining.\n\u201cBen will not leave our program with the most wins,\u201d said Spring-Ford wrestling coach Tim Seislove. \u201cBut he does have one of the most memorable victories (tide-turning win over Maldonado).\n\u201cBen started wrestling in seventh grade and unfortunately, he\u2019s been stuck behind people like Chase Brown, Sean Hennessey, Jason Quave, Jason and Adam Dombrosky. But it never derailed his work ethic or attitude. He always brings a positive attitude and hard work to the practice room every day. Through his work effort, he makes his teammates better.\u201d\nIt\u2019s the ultimate compliment for any athlete \u2013 making those around you better. Schein, who plans to wrestle at the club level in college, does just that.\n\u201cBen is an excellent role model of a true student-athlete,\u201d Brubaker said. \u201cHe is a well-rounded community member who works hard and fills his schedule with uplifting, positive tasks for himself and others.\u201d\nIn addition to his all-league selection at DB Schein, who plans to major in biomedical or environmental engineering but has yet to make a college choice (Vanderbilt and Miami are his top choices), also made the PAC-10 All-Academic football team this past fall.\nEarning that distinction was pretty much a no-brainer.\n\u201cI really think athletics helps with academics,\u201d said Schein. \u201cThere\u2019s a minimal time to focus, and I\u2019m used to my regular schedule of school and sports. It\u2019s how I was raised \u2013 come home from school and do your homework.\u201d\nSomehow, Ben finds time for other community- and school-related pursuits. A long-time volunteer at the Royersford Public Library, Schein helps out at the Spring-Ford Youth Football Camp and is a volunteer with the High School Heroes program \u2013 which recently went to Schein\u2019s alma mater Upper Providence Elementary to help with the kindergarten class.\nIn school, Schein is Secretary of the Senior Class, participates in the Spanish Club and the foreign exchange program, which has earned him an upcoming two-week trip to Ireland.\n\u201cWe hosted two kids from Ireland during the football season,\u201d said Schein. \u201cNow I\u2019m going over there to stay with their families. I\u2019m really looking forward to it.\u201d\nFor now, Schein took some time to look in the rearview mirror \u2013 to the football field, the wrestling mat and the hallways at Spring-Ford, where he has already achieved so much.\nAll the while, the Friday Night Lights still blink in his memory bank.\n\u201cWe were a very tight-knit group in football, a cohesive team that played together,\u201d said Schein. \u201cIt really means more to me now. We\u2019ll leave the school as the winningest class in Spring-Ford history, and I couldn\u2019t be any prouder of that.\u201d\nSpring-Ford\u2019s McDowell, Pottsgrove\u2019s O\u2019Connor invited to East-West game\nZameer McDowell will get an opportunity to erase a bad memory \u2013 the lasting memories from he and his Spring-Ford teammates\u2019 final game last season.\nThat loss was to Coatesville in the District 1-Class AAAA football championship ... at Downingtown West High School.\nAnd that\u2019s exactly where McDowell, along with Pottsgrove\u2019s Madison O\u2019Connor, will be lining up on Sunday, May 5 to play in the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football Coaches Association\u2019s East-West All-Star Game.\nThe 6-foot-5, 220-pound McDowell, who was a tight end and defensive end for the Rams, and the 6-foot-7, 332-pound O\u2019Connor, an offensive tackle for the Falcons, will be the area\u2019s only two participants in the game, which benefits a variety of charities.\nThe East-West game, first held in 2001 at Mansion Park in Altoona, features some of the top players in the state.\nMcDowell was selected as one of three defensive ends \u2014 the other two being Council Rock North\u2019s Curtis Cothran and Wilson-West Lawn\u2019s Matt Rothrock. Last season, he was credited with 71 tackles, including seven sacks, and had 13 quarterback-hurries. He also broke up eight passes, intercepted one, recovered a fumble and blocked three kicks. On offense, he caught 17 passes for 280 yards and five touchdowns, including two that proved to be game-winners. He was selected to the All-Pioneer Athletic Conference team and The Mercury\u2019s All-Area team, and named The Mercury\u2019s Defensive Player of the Year.\nThree players from the Coatesville team that denied McDowell and Spring-Ford that district title \u2014 quarterback Emmett Hunt, wideout Chris Jones and offensive lineman Andrew Baker \u2014 will be part of the East lineup, too.\nO\u2019Connor, a four-year starter for Pottsgrove, anchored the offensive line that led the Falcons to the Pioneer Athletic Conference title. O\u2019Connor\u2019s work up front enabled the Falcons to average an area-best 315 yards rushing. He was named All-Pioneer Athletic Conference \u2014 earning the league\u2019s inaugural Bill Rogers Memorial Award as the league\u2019s outstanding lineman. He was also selected to The Mercury\u2019s All-Area team.\nOne of seven offensive linemen, O\u2019Connor will be joined up front by Baker, La Salle\u2019s Pat Hoffman, Lower Dauphin\u2019s Jimmy Marks, Manheim Central\u2019s Jordan Bowman. Muhlenberg\u2019s Zach Duffy and Valley View\u2019s Anthony Mengoni.\nCothran (6-5, 245) signed with Penn State, while Rothrock (6-2, 237) signed with Lafayette. Hoffman (6-4, 255), the only offensive lineman thus far to commit to a Division I program, will play for Navy. ... Other District 1 players selected to the game were Downingtown East quarterback Kyle Lauletta, Downingtown West tight end Justin Schmitt, Conestoga linebacker Riley Pritchett, and Henderson defensive back Spenser Rymiszewski. ... The East will practice at Downingtown West, while the West team will practice at North Hills High School in Pittsburgh. ...

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 79 (11). pp. 1986-1993.\nOfficial URL: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.1002/1097-4628(20010314)79:1...\nThe technique of second time derivative (STD) analysis is developed and applied to the chemiluminescence (CL) profiles of two polypropylene (PP) formulations and a 5% w/w blend of polybutadiene (PBD) in PP to assess this novel method of analysis as a means of reliably determining the oxidative induction time (OIT) of polymers. It is proposed that the STD technique, when used in conjunction with the integrated CL profile, can enable evaluations of the OIT to be made that are less subjective than those made using the conventional extrapolation method. This is particularly so in systems that exhibit a gradual onset towards autoacceleration and/or convoluted CL profiles. Chemiluminescence profiles of the PBD\u2013PP blend that were obtained at different temperatures were subjected to STD analysis, and Arrhenius plots of the data were made. The results are consistent with the notion that the PBD and PP phases oxidize almost independently. The activation energies for the oxidation of the PBD and PP phases were calculated to be 200 \u00b1 31 kJ mol\u22121 and 146 \u00b1 9 kJ mol\u22121, respectively. The higher activation energy for the PBD phase is partly attributed to the greater partitioning of thermal stabilizer in this phase. \u00a9 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

TLC will be performing on the Coors Light Variety Free Stage at 8:30 p.m. The concert will be hosted by KHOP @ 95.1 and is free with the price of Fair admission.\n\u201cI grew up listening to TLC and they have been such icons to the age demographic that populates our fair and we are more than excited to welcome them this year,\u201d said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. \u201cTheir undeniable chemistry and great music are what will make this concert an unforgettable one.\u201d\nTLC is known to be one of the best-selling American girl-groups of all-time. The characters, TLC, merely hint at the talent of Tionne \u201cT-Boz\u201d Watkins, Rozonda \u201cChilli\u201d Thomas, and the late Lisa \u201cLeft Eye\u201d Lopes. Their journey encompasses immortal anthems such as \u201cWaterfalls,\u201d \u201cCreep,\u201d \u201cNo Scrubs,\u201d and \u201cUnpretty,\u201d to name a few, as well as sales of 70 million records worldwide, four GRAMMY\u00ae Awards, two RIAA diamond-certified albums among a total of four multiplatinum albums, 10 Top 10 singles, and four Number 1 singles.\nTLC has evolved so much since they first came out, but the issues that men and women go through haven\u2019t changed and is what inspires their music.\nThe 2019 Fair will feature a spectacular children\u2019s area presented by Sky Trek Aviation. Also planned for 2019 are 10-nights of free celebrity concerts included with Fair admission, a total of three stages of live entertainment, upwards of 30,000 local exhibits and over 1,750 animals.

        "raw_content": "Hemming in a Drawstring\nDrawstrings are the simplest way of making an opening (usually a waistband) adjustable. There's two ways of doing this. First, you can simply hem the edge and then inch your drawstring through the pocket of material created by the hem. This, however, is tedious and sometimes difficult. If you've got a long hem (and if we're working on a skirt, we could be talking 10 feet), that's going to be a ton of work.\nI suggest placing the drawstring inside the hem before sewing. Pin the material close to the drawstring, and then put your stitches on the other side of the pins. This helps to keep the drawstring from accidentally getting sewed, at which point it won't be able to function as a drawstring.\nYou'll also want to pin the drawstring at either end so that it doesn't get pulled inside the material, where you can't reach it. You can un-pin it when you're finished sewing.\nRun both ends of the drawstring through a cord stop. You may need to tape the ends of the cord (as pictured) to get them through the cord stop. Then tie the ends of the cord together with a big enough knot that you cannot actually pull the cord stop off. The cord stop will allow you to tighten and loosen the drawstring as necessary for dressing.",

        "raw_content": "Association of banks of umbilical cord blood, other human tissues and cells (Association of cryobanks)Uncategorized @enNews (Ukraine, World)In the worldICT was presented at the scientific meeting of the International Federation of Placenta Associations\nAugust 30 \u2013 September 2, 2017, Manchester (the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) hosted the annual scientific meeting of the International Federation of Placenta Associations (IFPA).\nThe city of Manchester for the conduction of such a high level scientific forum was chosen not accidentally since the Great Britain, and Manchester itself, are famous worldwide for the significant achievements in the field of biology of reproduction, physiology and pathophysiology of the placenta, as well as approaches to imaging and treatment of functional disorders of this organ.\nThe peculiarity of this year\u2019s IFPA meeting was the harmonious combination of topical issues of fundamental medicine and biology in the field of placental study with clinical aspects. The theme of the conference was \u201cPlacenta: Journey of a Lifetime\u201d.\nFundamentalists and clinicians from around the world visited the event and during 4 days they were discussing hot issues of the field, which is now increasingly referred to as \u201cplacentology\u201d \u2013 the science of the placenta.\nConsequently, the formation of a separate placental science testifies to the extraordinary importance of this organ, both for the development of the fetus and the normal course of pregnancy, and as a source of stem cells, numerous biologically active substances, and initial materials for the production of pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.\nDuring the conference a number of interesting workshops were held on the following topics: 3D structure-based modelling of placental function; Clinical placentology; Placental bed in the next generation \u2013 study resources and research questions; Treating placental dysfunction: pre-clinical strategis.\nAlso in the framework of the conference an original public event \u201cBefore You Were Born\u201d was held. The idea behind this project was to inform the public about the biological significance of the placenta and the research studies of this organ that is being conducted in Manchester and around the world. Interestingly, the \u201cBefore You Born\u201d event included popular scientific presentations for adults and children. So, within the framework of the project \u201cBefore You Were Born\u201d there were artistic and photo exhibitions, poetry was read \u2013 all about the placenta. Adinda van \u2018t Klooster, a Dutch artist currently living in Manchester, presented an exhibition of sculpture and drawing titled \u201cStill Born\u201d.\nFar not for the first time Ukraine at the IFPA meeting was represented by the Institute of Cell Therapy, an active and long-term member of the International Placenta Stem Cells Society.\nSo, Dr. Volodymyr Shabliy, Ph.D., the deputy director of the cryobank of the Institute of Cell Therapy presented a poster \u201cPLACENTA-DERIVED MULTIPOTENT CELLS EXPRESS SYNCYTIN-1 AND POSSES ABILITY TO FUSE WITH TROPHOBLAST.\u201d This paper was published in the prestigious international journal Placenta (Placenta, 2017, vol.3) and was awarded the Elsevier Award.\nThe presentation of the Institute of Cell Therapy at a foreign scientific event of such a high level will contribute to the strengthening of the the scientific and business image of the Institute on the international arena, what undoubtedly is important for establishing business contacts with foreign biobanks and regenerative therapy clinics. After all, our clients increasingly want to be treated abroad using umbilical cord blood stem cells stored in the Institute of Cell Therapy, as many of our fellow citizens emigrate and transfer to the biobanks at a new place of residence cellular deposits of the cord blood and placenta, stored in Ukraine.",

The statement offended me when I read it at first, but on considering it I have come to the conclusion that it is true as far as multitudes of men are concerned, and that God is as surely \"the unknown God\" to them as He was to the Athenian philosophers when Paul preached on Mars Hill nineteen centuries ago.\nWhat is God like? \"No man has seen God at any time.\" Then who can describe Him for us and introduce us to Him? \"The only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.\" Then if that is so, if we would know God, we must listen to the Lord Jesus, for He is the only-begotten Son. No man can be excused if he does not know God now, for the truth as to Him is fully revealed, and the truth is not vague; but not to nature, not to science, not to philosophy must we go for the truth, but to JESUS. He said, when arraigned before Pilate, \"Every one that is of the truth hears My voice.\"\nNow in the central parables of Luke's Gospel, we hear the voice of Jesus telling us what God is: His care for the needs of men, and His compassionate provision for those needs, His love for men, His desire for their company, and His just judgment on the despisers and impenitent are set before us in vivid pictures. And, said the Lord, \"He that has ears to hear, let him hear.\" It is of these parables that I write in this book which I have called, The Feast, the Famine and the Flame. May the blessing of God rest upon the readers.\nAll things are NOW ready.\"\n\"And when one of them that sat at meat with Him heard these things, he said to Him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God. Then said He to him, a certain man made a great supper and bade many: And he sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come: for all things are NOW ready.\" Luke 14.\n\"Come and hear the grand old story,\nStory told in ages past,\nAll earth's annals far surpassing,\nStory that shall ever last.\nNoblest, truest,\nOldest, newest,\nFairest, rarest,\nSaddest, gladdest,\nThat this earth has ever known.\"\nThe man who sat at meat with the Lord Jesus and said, \"Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God,\" was putting into the language of that day the feeling that it must be a good thing for a man to go to heaven when he dies. We do not hear the feeling expressed so often now as we used to when\nFar, far away,\"\nwas one of the most often sung hymns at revival meetings. Indeed, whatever may be the inner, unspoken feeling, it has become the popular thing to jeer at the idea, and those who are so far behind the times as to preach a heaven in the future for those who believe the gospel now, are looked upon by many as allies of the Capitalists offering heaven as a bribe to men if only they will be contented with such things as they have and work hard that their \"masters\" may continue to enjoy the wealth that their labour produces. I do not know when and where the notion started, but Robert Burns worked it into one of his poems one hundred and fifty years ago when he wrote,\n\"We labour soon, we labour late,\nTo feed the titled knave, man,\nAnd all the comfort we shall get\nIs that ayont the grave, man.\"\nSee how the Lord answered the man who could only imagine blessing from God \"ayont the grave.\" He propounded to him the parable of the great Supper, and announced the invitation to it, \"Come, for all things are NOW ready.\" I must lay stress upon the word \"now,\" for I am sure the Lord did, and what a word it is! It surely means that God will not keep men waiting for happiness until they are dead; He offers to make them happy now, for the parable of the great Supper tells of His provision for the happiness of men. He has prepared joys for them in this life, exceeding their highest expectations, and He invites them to come for them now. It means that in turning to God men do not turn their backs on true satisfaction, for it is a feast to which He invites them and not a fast; He wants them to come to it now, in this life, for all things are now ready.\nThe Lord Jesus was always divinely quiet when men opposed and blasphemed Him; \"when He was reviled, He reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not,\" yet He must have been profoundly moved and grieved when men misunderstood and distrusted God. Why, I have read of one of His servants, by name John Fletcher, a great preacher, who called his wife and maid to his bedside when he lay dying, and said to them, \"Sing, shout, God is love,\" so mightily was his soul stirred by the thought of God's love to men; and I saw a little servant lassie of fourteen, distressed and weeping after a gospel service, who in answer to my question as to what the trouble was, told me that she had persuaded some friends of hers to come and hear about the Saviour and they had gone away unaffected. That was the cause of her grief. Must not the heart of Jesus who knew God's love in its full tenderness and strength have been stirred by it, and grieved \u2014 profoundly grieved, when He saw that men kept God at a distance and lived their lives without Him because they believed the devil's lie that if He had anything at all for them it was in the future and not in the present? I feel that when the Lord announced this great Supper and gave out the words of the invitation He did so with a spirit and a fervour that must have arrested and impressed those that heard them, and yet with grief of heart, for He knew that many would despise and reject it, but I do not think they would ever forget the way He said, \"Come, for all things are now ready.\"\nWe cannot hear His actual voice speaking to us as they did, but the words are there, and they tell us that God has considered and anticipated the deepest needs of our lives, and that He had catered for our happiness, when we had neither the sense nor the power to do it ourselves. Dismiss your distrust of God, cast out of your heart the lie that He is indifferent to the way you live your life. He is not the author of men's miseries, as some suppose.\nGod has prepared the great Supper; neither angels nor men assisted Him. Father, Son and Holy Spirit have done it. None are asked to contribute to it, but all are invited to appropriate it, and to do so now \u2014 God wants men to enjoy His Supper now. The heavenly bell is ringing, calling men to the feast now. That \"now\" in the invitation is a great word. It is the Lord's own word N.O.W. now. It is an imperative word, it has no future tense, and its antithesis is Never.\nI had a relative whom I had not met. He heard that I was to preach in the city in which he lived, and he decided to come and hear me and make my acquaintance. I do not know what he expected, but he was disappointed in what he heard. This very parable was my subject and I pressed upon the people what I am now pressing, that God's word is now. Now, not to-morrow. Behold, now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation,\" and, \"To-day, if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.\" I spelt the word many times, for I felt sure that it was my message then as I am sure it is now. My relative listened. What did I mean? This was surely the strangest preaching he had ever heard! Did I think they were a lot of children that needed to have a word of three letters spelt over to them? He had expected something different, an intellectual sermon, perhaps, for intelligent men, or a forceful urge to a better and more useful life; and he went away as I have said, disappointed. But he confessed in a letter afterwards that he could not shake off that word NOW. It followed him, and kept him waking at night; it hammered at the very door of his soul; it was not an invitation only, it was a challenge, and I believe through the infinite mercy of God it did its intended work.\n\"Come, for all things are now ready.\" What does it mean? It means that God is not waiting until you die to receive you but He comes to you now and here, bringing heaven's blessing to you where you are. God loves you, and, if you will, He will welcome you at last to His home beyond the grave, but He loves you so well that He does not propose to keep you waiting until then to be happy, He sends His message to you now \u2014 a message of love and joy, an invitation to a great Supper, made ready for you by an infinite love, \"Come, for all things are now ready.\"\nYes, \"All things are now ready,\" but not a man will come and enter that feast unless he is converted and becomes as a little child. The little child of the Lord's parable hears and believes, there is no pretence about him, he confesses his need when he feels it, and simply and thankfully receives what is offered him and talks about what he has received. After a protracted gospel service in Kingston, Jamaica, at which many anxious souls had pressed into the feast, a little negro lad, ten years old perhaps, touched me on the elbow and said, \"Do speak to me, sir, my soul does feel so unsaved.\" We found a quiet spot where he could listen to the word, and then we knelt in prayer. When I had prayed for him, he prayed for himself, \"Lord Jesus,\" he said, \"save my soul.\" And he jumped to his feet, having no doubt that his prayer was answered, for as he said, I had told him that the Lord had said, \"Him that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast out.\" He had come and proved that the Lord's words were true.\nThe next afternoon we held a meeting for boys and girls like himself, and he asked that he might tell them what had happened to him, and this is what he said. \"Dear friends, last night I came to Jesus, and He has saved me and made me happy, and I want you all to follow my good example, for Jesus Christ's sake, Amen.\"\nIs it as simple as that? Yes, to the little child, but, \"Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent and hast revealed them to babes.\"\n\"Come; for all things are now ready.\"\n\"Yet there is room!\" Love, love eternal waits,\nThe Saviour sits within the pearly gates.\nCome home, oh come!\nCome, e'er it be too late.\n\"Yet there is room!\" Still open stands the gate,\nThe gate of love \u2014 it is not yet too late,\nThe grace of God receive.\nLouder and sweeter sounds the loving call,\nCome, lingerer, come \u2014 enter the festal hall.\nThe love of God believe.\nThe Servant sent forth by the Master of the house with the invitations to the Supper is none other than the Holy Spirit of God. The Apostles of the Lord who were the first preachers of this gospel were told by their Master to tarry in Jerusalem until He came, and when He did come, they \"preached the gospel by the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.\" The messsage is so wonderful and the work of filling God's house so great and urgent, that it could not be committed to a lesser person. It is the Holy Ghost who has come into the world with an invitation to men from the Father and the Son. The first word of the invitation is COME. Consider the significance of that. It is not \"Go work in My vineyard\" but \"COME to My Supper.\" It is a wonderful word, an evangelical word. It is a word that suits well the lips of the Father, who sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world; it suits well the lips of the Son who died that sinners might live; it suits well the lips of the Holy Ghost who has come into the world to compel hungry and sinful men to come to God's Supper. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are saying, Come, The Triune God desire your company in their home for ever; They are saying Come to you.\nDo you understand the meaning of the word? That babe of six months understands it. If I can only put the right tone into my voice and the proper smile on my face, and hold out my hands to the little mite and say, \"Come,\" it answers at once. It cannot run to me, it cannot even say, \"I will;\" but it stretches out its arms and struggles to reach me. It knows what I mean. God is saying, \"Come\" to men, and behind the invitation there is the yearning of His love for them. He wills the death of none of them; He will cast out none who come in answer to His call; He will welcome them to His feast and bless them for ever.\nI was preaching the gospel in Leamington Spa. To the meetings came a man named Irons, and those who knew him were surprised to see him there. He was well-known, a hardened sinner. Yes, with a heart as hard as his name. He had been a man of means and had married a lady who was well-to-do, but he had drunk and gambled both fortunes, and for some years his only homes had been prison and the common lodging-house. But he came to the meetings, and one night he told me that he was saved. Saved! George Irons saved! I had my doubts, so unbelieving was I. However he came to see me, and what a time we had together! \"Tell me\" I said, \"how this came about; are you saved because you made up your mind to give up the drink and lead a decent life?\" \"No,\" he said, \"it wasn't that. While you were preaching, it seemed as if God was stretching out His arms to me, and saying, 'Come, I'll receive you just as you are.'\" That is it. That is what \"Come\" means. I could doubt the man no more; he had heard the voice of the Saviour God calling him from his misery and sin to home and feast and love, and to God Himself. And the same voice is calling you. Come, Come, COME.\nThe late Canon Fleming in his Autobiography has told an appealing story of the death of the Duke of Clarence, the elder son of the late King Edward VII, who was then Prince of Wales. The young duke was lying at Sandringham. His mother, the Princess of Wales, was sitting at his side, when he suddenly opened his eyes and said, \"Who is that calling for me?\" She answered him, \"It is Jesus calling you, dear.\" Those were the last words he uttered, and hers were the last words he heard, for in a few minutes his life quietly closed. She rose from his bedside and saw his diary lying on a table nearby; it was open to the date when first he took the communion, and there she read,\nBut that Thy blood was shed for me;\nAnd that Thou bidst me come to Thee;\n\"I could not doubt,\" said the future Queen of England \"that dear Eddie had really come.\"\nThe invitation comes to everyone, to the highest and the least, prince and pauper, and all who come are welcomed alike, for in God's sight there is no difference between royal duke and homeless drunkard, no difference between George Irons, the Duke of Clarence, and you and me.\nIt is strange that such an invitation should have failed in its appeal to those favoured people to whom it was first sent; but so it was. They all with one consent began to make excuse. They were not rude about it; not one of them said, as I heard a man say to whom a gospel tract was offered in a Scottish express train, \"I call that a bit of impertinence; why can't people keep their religion to themselves?\" No, they were not like that, it was with the greatest possible politeness that they rejected the invitation, but they rejected it all the same, they deliberately and finally rejected it.\nOne had his land, another had his oxen, and a third had his wife; and there was nothing wrong in these; they were all legitimate possessions, and the men who had them were evidently shrewd, industrious and sociable men. What was wrong then? Their own interests were more important in their eyes than the great Supper; they were so completely engrossed with what they possessed that they could not even consider the grace of the invitation sent to them by the Master of the House. He had thought of them and provided His feast for them in vain, His kindness was slighted and His servant turned from their doors with a blank refusal; they could manage very well without the Supper, thank you!\nDid the Lord err in drawing this picture? Most certainly not. He reads the hearts of all and knows their motives and ways, and He described in the parable the folly and sinful independence of God and His blessing of which thousands are guilty. It may have described the folly of the Jew to whom the gospel was first sent, but it also describes the attitude of thousands of easy-placed, well-to-do men and women of the world to-day. They would prefer to have nothing to do with God; they will take His benefits, but they do not desire His saving grace; the gospel Supper has no attraction for them; temporalities are more to them than eternal verities. They have no time for God. \"I have bought,\" \"I have bought,\" \"I have married.\" Their own activities and achievements are everything to them, and not one of them says, \"I have sinned\" as did the prodigal son; and dares anyone to say that they will have another opportunity in another life? The Master of the house was angry and said, \"None of those men that were bidden shall taste of My Supper.\" God's word to sinners is \"Come\"; if that word is rejected it changes to \"Depart.\" The \"larger hope\" that some have preached is a delusion and a lie.\nLet every man and woman of us hear this word of invitation, this great word, Come, and heed it, and respond to it without delay. It is God that is calling.\n\"Oh, be swift my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet.\"\nIt is God who calls; it is God who says Come.\n\"Compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.\"\n\"The music of the ransomed,\nI thought how sweet 'twould sound,\nHow all the halls of glory\nWith joy would echo round.\nBut ah! more sweet and charming\nThan songs or music rare\nIs this heart-thrilling sentence,\nThe one I love is there.\"\nI don't want anybody to suppose from what I have said that the present is more important than the future \u2014 it is not. Time is short, it runs on swift feet. Forty, fifty, sixty, perhaps eighty years, and a man bids \"good-bye\" to this life and enters eternity, and eternity is long: it never ends; and no question can rival in importance that which we sometimes ask, Where will you spend eternity?\nI remember years ago seeing a village in Ireland in ruins. All the cottages in it were roofless and uninhabited. It was a melancholy sight. I was told that the people who once lived in those cottages had refused to pay the rent and had been evicted. The village was a parable to me. We dwell in \"this earthly house of our tabernacle\" \u2014 you and I \u2014 and we have received \"notice to quit.\" Why? Because we have not paid the rent. God is the landlord, He is the designer and builder of our bodies. It is He that \"gives to us life, breath and all things\" as the Bible tells us; consequently He has claims upon us, and we have not met those claims, nor desired to. We were all alike in this respect, until some of us \u2014 but that is another matter that we shall come to soon \u2014 we did not pay the rent, we were determined not to; \"we turned every one to his own way\"; and that is why notice to quit has been served on us. We are awaiting eviction \u2014 some of us have \"a better hope,\" but again that is another matter. The truth is, \"It is appointed to men once to die.\" The grim bailiff DEATH has his work to do, and when the time comes, he will do it effectually, regardless of our wishes or feelings. To some he comes suddenly, and without warning evicts them from this earthly dwelling; but however and whenever he comes, the long-cherished and tenderly-cared for tabernacle will fall into ruins; nothing can save it; and surely the greatest question to the man involved is, What of the one who dwelt in it?\nWho can tell us? A well-known scientist has said that the soul of a man is like the flame of a candle; when it is snuffed out it is gone and done with for ever. I wonder if he really believes that. You do not, and neither do I. He would reduce us to the level of the beasts, from which he says we have sprung; but we know better than that. God breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul; and he is greater than sun, moon and stars, for he will live for ever and be conscious of his existence when they have ceased to be. You and I will live forever. But who can tell us about that? The agnostic cannot \u2014 the man who parades his ignorance and boasts in it. Robert Ingersoll was a clever man; he laughed at the Bible and lectured in crowded halls on \"The Mistakes of Moses\"; had he any comfort or assurance to give us about eternity? Hear what he said about it:\n\"Is there beyond the silent night\nAn endless day?\nWe do not know. We hope and wait.\"\nSuppose the landlord of those defaulting Irish folk had sent a message to them of this sort, \"You have failed in your obligations, and in justice I must have you evicted from the cottages in which you have lived and disregarded my claims; but when the time comes for you to be turned out, I will open the doors of my mansion and welcome you to my home. It will be my pleasure to have your company.\" Suppose that! Never such a landlord existed among men; if there had been such an one, his fame would have spread to the ends of the earth, and his deed would have been the subject of many a story book. It is my business and joy to tell you that such a landlord God is. He has thrown open the doors of His home, and there are many mansions there \u2014 there is room for all. And in the gospel \u2014 in this very parable, God is telling men that though they have got notice to quit, for death has passed upon all men for that all have sinned, yet He will welcome to His home whosoever will accept His invitation when the time of their eviction comes. It is a surprising offer, and puts God in a different light to that in which men generally view Him, and it is the more surprising because it is made to those who are enemies and alienated from Him by wicked works.\nNow in contrast to the hopeless wail of the agnostic the Christian speaks with confidence as he looks into the future. He can say, \"We know that if this earthly house of our tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.\" 2 Corinthians 5. And though with many, if not all, there is a natural shrinking from death, the Christian may face it without fear, for the death of Christ has taken the sting out of it, by dying He has robbed the devil of the power of it, to deliver those who through fear of it were all their lifetime subject to bondage. As we read the Scriptures we realise that the saved man or woman, those who rely wholly upon the Saviour, have no need to have a single tremor in the presence of death. We are very familiar with Paul's words, \"To depart to be with Christ which is far better,\" and, \"To die is gain.\" But others also have spoken when dying. John Fletcher said, \"I'm like a bird escaping from its cage.\" Melanchthon said, \"Nothing now but heaven.\" J. G. Bellett cried out with joy at the thought of being with the \"Man of Sychar's well,\" and \"the Man of Calvary.\" I heard of a young girl in her late teens, who when they thought she was gone and said so, whispered, \"I'm just passing into glory,\" and I will give you in way of contrast to Ingersoll's gloomy outlook the words of a contemporary of his, D. L. Moody, who spoke to more people than any man of his day. It is said that he addressed audiences aggregating one hundred millions, and his subject was always Christ the Saviour. He was dying at 62, his strong physical frame worn out by excessive labours. Here in his son's own words is the account of his going. \"Suddenly he was heard speaking in slow and measured words. He was saying, 'Earth recedes; heaven opens before me.' The first impulse was to try to arouse him from what appeared to be a dream. 'No, this is no dream, Will,' he replied, 'It is beautiful. It is like a trance. If this is death, it is sweet. There is no valley here. God is calling me, and I must go.'\"\nA gifted poet has sung a poor, sad dirge:\n\"Nothing begins and nothing ends\nThat is not paid with moan,\nFor we are born in others' pain\nBut we may thank God, that such a hopeless outlook has no place in Christian hymnary.\nI am anxious that you should not be deceived by the lie that God has nothing for you now, that you must wait for His blessing \"ayont the grave,\" but I am equally anxious that you should enquire as to the future.\nThe gospel that tells us of present joy and peace, of the feast that is now ready, tells us also of future glory and a home in heaven for ever. God has said, \"My house shall be full,\" and His invitation to men covers the present and the future; there is a feast and a home for all who respond \u2014 a satisfying feast and an eternal home.\n\"A certain man made a great Supper.\"\n\"Great is the house and great the One that built it;\nGreat is the Supper He has spread therein;\nGreat was the price it cost Him to provide it,\nAnd great the grace that forces us within.\nSoon to that region He will safely bring us,\nOnce in that dwelling which is His and ours,\nSorrow and pain and death no more shall sting us;\nThere shall we worship with supernal powers.\"\nNobody who knows anything about it will challenge me when I say that the parable of the GREAT Supper was spoken by our Lord to illustrate God's way of blessing men. It tells how He proposes to meet the deepest needs of their souls and deliver them from their miseries; it also tells of His desire that they should be happy with Him at His own expense, as His guests; He desires the pleasure of their company. And, if I may add another thing, without clouding the issue, it shows the joyful way in which He is now celebrating the coronation of His Son in the glory. The day of the coronation of George VI and his Queen was a great day; from London to the farthest outposts of the Empire, in mansion, cottage and slum, there was feasting and rejoicing. God has raised up Jesus from the dead and crowned Him with glory and honour; He has enthroned Him to be a Prince and a Saviour for men, and He wants everyone to rejoice because of this. He invites us to share His joy and participate in the blessings that result from the triumph of His Son over sin and death and the devil, and because of His coronation in heaven. The Supper is a great one because of this great reason for it \u2014 the desire of God for the happiness of men.\nIt is great because God is great, and it is His Supper. He is great in His power and wisdom, as we all surely know, for this is declared in His creative works, but He is greater in His love. \"God is love\" and it is this that should appeal to us all. In ancient days, for His own wise purposes, He selected one nation from all the rest and cared for it with a special care, but that was only until the time arrived for His Son to appear. Now He will have all men to be saved, Gentiles as well as Jews. He thinks of every nation, \"For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son.\" He sends His invitation to all. The gospel word is \"whosoever will.\" The rich are no more to Him than the poor; in His sight the black are equal to the white. He stretches out His hands to all and invites all without distinction to come in to His Supper. It is a great Supper because it is God's, and He is great.\nIt is a great Supper because of the multitude that will enjoy it for ever. It does not seem that that could be so, judging by what we see. The happy Christians appear to be in the minority. The multitudes queue up for the cinemas and theatres and race courses; dance halls are packed, but not the gospel services. The clown gets the laughing crowd while the herald of God's salvation delivers his message to the children and a few, sometimes very few, adults. \"Without exaggeration, a thousand people gathered round us to hear the word,\" writes an enthusiastic open-air evangelist, \"and at the end of the meeting four men stepped out and confessed the Lord Jesus as their Saviour.\" Four out of a thousand! Of course we are glad of the four; \"there is joy in the presence of the angels when one sinner repents,\" but four out of a thousand! that was a very small percentage. The world, the flesh and the devil seem to have had the best of it in that crowd. It may have been that kind of thing that made a man in the previous chapter ask, \"Lord, are there few that be saved?\" We know the Lord's answer, Look after yourself. \"Strive you to enter in.\" Yet in spite of the fact that most men seem to be lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, and the many are on the broad road and not in the narrow way, His house shall be filled, and it shall be filled with a multitude that no man can number. They shall come from the North and the South, and the East and the West and sit down in God's kingdom, a mighty host, ransomed from death and hell by the precious blood of God's Son, to feast for ever with Him. Many will seek to enter in then but shall not be able, because they ignored God's NOW and arrived too late. But in spite of that, heaven will be filled with a countless multitude. The Supper is great because of the number that will enjoy it.\nIt is a great Supper because of the cost of it, and this is the very heart of the subject. What will God give to make men happy? What price will He pay? He gives life, but the shadow of death lies on it. He gives health, but sickness is never far away. He could give money, but what is money? A North of England newspaper offered a prize for the best definition of money, and the definition that won the prize was a great one. I do not think it could be bettered. Here it is. \"Money can purchase everything but happiness, and open every door but the door of heaven.\" But if a man is not happy in this world and does not reach heaven in the next, what has he that is worth having? He must have both if he is to be a blessed man, and not life or health or wealth can give him either; but God can give him both, but \u2014 at what a cost!\n\"God so loved\" \u2014 Ah, the old text! I had a strange dream. In my dream I was spending a beautiful summer's day in some Yorkshire villages giving away gospel books and talking to the people about the Saviour. At a cottage door there sat a group of women, enjoying the sunshine and an hour's gossip. I had to explain to them that I was not selling anything, but giving them the gospel, and in my explanation I quoted my text, \"God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.\" I had no sooner got the words out of my mouth, than one of the women laughed, a scornful laugh, and said, \"T'owd text agean,\" and all the women joined with her in laughing at the old text again. I awoke from my dream with their laughter ringing in my ears, and was glad that it was a dream. And yet, I fear, that that is the way that many are treating the most wonderful words that mortal ears have ever heard. Old as the text may be, and often used, I cannot leave it out of this story; it tells us what God has done for our blessing, what it has cost Him to spread this feast. I might quote other texts, not so well known perhaps, but none the less wonderful. \"In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only-begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.\" 1 John 4:9, 10.\nHow far surpassing all our need and desires must the feast be that cost God such a price! And who shall describe the price that His beloved Son paid, for the Father and the Son were one in this. He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor! The poverty of the manger was a great price to pay, but it was not enough; His life of sorrow, for He was the Man of sorrows, was a great price to pay, but it was not enough; the agony of Gethsemane, with its sweat of blood, was a great price to pay, but it was not enough; nothing could avail but the cross of Calvary; there He who knew no sin, was made sin for us; there He died for the ungodly. The Bible says, \"Christ died for the ungodly.\" One sentence of five words \u2014 golden words. How much they have meant to me and to thousands of sinners. Many times I have pondered them, and said with moistened eyes and worshipping heart, \"Why, Lord, that means me! That is the price that Thou didst pay for me!\" It was the price He paid that this Supper might be spread, made ready for needy men. That is what our redemption cost Him, and that was the price that He paid that God might bless us righteously.\nThe Supper is a great one because of what it has cost, and because of the multitude that will enjoy it, and because of the greatness of the God who has provided it; and because of His gracious desire that all men should enjoy it.\nThe Supper Spread\nJesus said \"My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.\" \u2014 John 6:32.\n\"Thou bringest love and gladness forth\nFrom Thine exhaustless store,\nTo me, deserving but Thy wrath,\nThe life for evermore.\"\nGod knows the needs of men and as the faithful Creator He gives \"rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness,\" as Paul the Apostle told the Lycaonians many years ago. Thus He spreads a feast that our bodies may be nourished, even though some of us never thank Him. But men have not bodies only, they have immortal souls, and the need of the soul is infinitely greater than the need of the body. God gives the abundance of the earth for the feeding of the body, but for the soul! for the salvation of the soul He has given the abundance of the heavens \u2014 He has given His only-begotten Son. He could not have given more than that and less would not have done. And now He bids the hunger-stricken, sinful sons of men to come in to His Supper. \"All things are ready; there is enough for all, and all who come will be welcomed and saved and satisfied.\nWhat is it that sinful men need first and most? When those four zealous friends of the palsied man brought him to the house where Jesus was, and let him down through the tiling at His feet, they thought that He would immediately work a miracle, and by a word put strength into the shaking limbs of their afflicted friend. We can understand their astonishment, and perhaps disappointment, when instead He said, \"Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.\" But the Lord knew better than they; He knew that the forgiveness of sins was that man's greatest need; his sins first and then his sickness, his soul first and then his body. The forgiveness of sins is the first of many blessings that God offers to men, and all who enter the door and sit down at His Supper will find that this is the first of the dishes on the table. And I am glad to be able to make known the fact and describe it in the very words that Paul used in the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia. They are Holy Ghost inspired words, and one thousand nine hundred years have not changed the need or taken the power out of the words. \"Be it known to you, therefore, men and brethren, that through this Man [Christ Jesus] is preached to you the forgiveness of sins.\" Acts 13:38. Of course there are many who despise this blessing; those Pharisees and scribes who scorned the Saviour's grace, would not have taken a single step to get it, because they had never felt the burden of their sins; but we shall not listen to them or their ilk. \"The proof of the pudding is in the eating\" and only those who have tasted of this dish can speak of its sweetness and commend it to others. David was one of these. \"Blessed is the man whose transgression is forgiven,\" he exclaimed, and those who know tell us that his exclamation means, \"Oh the blessednesses of the forgiven man!\" His cup ran over with relief and joy, and, I should add, thanksgiving.\nDuring the war, it was on the Sunday of the Dogger Bank engagement, I addressed a gathering of soldiers in South Shields. There was one lad of the Royal Engineers there who listened to my words with great earnestness \u2014 so much so that I made up my mind that I would speak to him when the meeting was over. He anticipated me and asked if he might have a talk with me. We sat down together and I asked, \"What's the trouble?\" He broke down completely and said, \"I've got a big sin on my soul.\" \"Tell me about yourself\" I said. And he poured out a sad tale of folly and sin though he was only nineteen. \"It seems to me, Edward,\" I said, \"that you have got a lot of big sins on your soul.\" He confessed that he had, and sobbed out \"I'm glad my mother is dead, she would have broken her heart over me.\" He was ready for forgiveness, poor lad. \"I want you\" I said, \"to read this verse,\" and I turned him. to Isaiah 53:5. \"He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.\" I explained to him that the verse was about the Lord Jesus, and I put myself alongside him and told him how the great Saviour had suffered for our sins on the cross that we might be saved. He drank in the truth and feasted on the gospel story, and then we knelt and thanked God. As I shook hands with him that night outside his billet he said, \"I haven't been able to sleep for many a night, I've been so miserable; but I'll be able to go to my bed to-night and say, 'God has forgiven me '.\"\nMen were badly needed in Flanders and young as he was he had to go, and he found time to write to me perhaps the last letter he ever did write, for my answer came back, \"Missing.\" In that letter written during the worst of February weather, amid sleet and rain and cold and mud and all the miseries and dangers of the trenches, he wrote \"I'm so happy.\" Why was he so happy? Because he had entered the feast and was rejoicing in that first dish on the table \u2014 the forgiveness of sins. He had tasted and seen that the Lord is gracious; his sins were forgiven for His Name's sake.\nThat is the beginning of the feast and there is more to follow. We read, \"Being justified by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.\" How well that dish suits the palate of those whose consciences have troubled them and who, like David, have said to God, \"Against Thee, and Thee only have I sinned\" and have longed to have peace with God. I knew a band of lads, I had almost said a gang, they were not Y.M.C.A. boys, nor the sort that you would expect to see rushing to the gospel meetings. But one of them was induced to go and hear an earnest evangelist who had come to the town, and he not only heard but believed. Of course he was the subject of many a jest. He did not mind that. The nightly gospel and not the variety show was now his delight, he had got into God's feast. A week passed and he returned to his home from one of these meetings, and there was gathered this band of his old friends to greet him. The laughter started at once. \"Now, parson,\" they said, \"preach us a sermon.\" To their astonishment he stood on a chair, and said \"I can't preach, but I can sing,\" and he began.\n\"O the peace my Saviour gives,\nPeace I never knew before;\nAll my life has brighter grown\nSince I learnt to know Him more.\"\nBefore he reached the end of his song there slipped from the room his own brother and another, and when they looked at each other outside the door, the tears were on both their cheeks. The joy of that lad as his soul feasted on the peace that the Saviour had given him, and as he poured out the story in his song, had broken them down, and they too pressed in to the feast. Yes, peace with God is a sweet dish, and I who know its sweetness would urge on all who don't to enter into the feast and taste it now.\nDid you ever read the story of those four leprous men who sat outside the gate of the besieged and starving city of Samaria? It is an interesting and instructive tale, and is told in 2 Kings 7. They sat there until death seemed to be closing in upon them on every side, and they decided that their only hope of life was to cast themselves on the mercy of the besieging army. But when they reached the camp of the enemy they did not find a single man there. They found instead, what they were needing most, plenty of good food. And the story tells us, \"they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver and gold and raiment and went and hid it, and came again and went into another tent, and carried thence also.\" I want to use the story as an incentive to those who have entered God's feast, not to be satisfied with one dish, but to go from dish to dish, as those men went from tent to tent. God's grace has provided this great feast of many dishes, and Faith appropriates what God has provided, and the more faith appropriates the more will God be delighted.\nI speak of one more dish. It is set before us in John 3 \"Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we should be called the children of God.\" This carries us beyond all our expectations; we compare it with that Old Testament Scripture, \"He brought me into His banqueting house and His banner over me was love. I sat down under His shadow, with great delight and His fruit was sweet to my taste,\" and we say this is even better than that. This gives us the \"bairns\" place and assures us of a Father's care as long as life shall last, and is the pledge that the best that heaven can give shall be ours for ever. It tells us of the Father's love which is the richest, sweetest portion that heaven can set before our souls.\n\"The poor, the maimed, the halt, the blind\"\n\"Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, the maimed, and the halt, and the blind . . . Go out into the highways and the hedges and compel them to come in that my house may be filled.\"\n\"Call them in\" \u2014 the poor, the wretched,\nSin-stained wanderers from the fold:\nPeace and pardon freely offer:\nCan you weigh their worth with gold?\n\"Call them in\" \u2014 the broken-hearted,\nCowering 'neath the brand of shame,\nSpeak love's message low and tender \u2014\n\"'Twas for sinners Jesus came.\"\n\"Bring them in\" \u2014 the careless scoffers,\nPleasure seekers of the earth,\nTell of God's most gracious offer,\nAnd of Jesus' priceless worth.\"\nIt is a man's own loss if he refuses the God-sent invitation. The feast will go on without him and God's house shall be full. The poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind will come in, compelled by the great Servant, from the streets and lanes of the city. But who are these? Again the Master-artist is at work describing those who are fit subjects for God's grace, and who will most certainly appreciate that grace when they know their need for it. The poor cannot pay, the maimed cannot work, the halt must be brought, and the blind are helpless without a guide. Not one of them is self-sufficient, they are dependent people. Every man and woman on earth comes into this category, only some have not discovered this, and others are too proud to own it. Some boast, \"I am rich and increased in goods and have need of nothing,\" but to them the Lord replies, \"Thou knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.\" It is not easy to confess the truth, it cuts clean across our natural pride, and the discovery of it is a bitter experience; but it is the way to the blessing, and it is better to confess the unpalatable truth than hug the pleasant lie.\nAll are poor; the Lord has described us all as \"debtors, with nothing to pay.\" A man's bank balance or broad acres do not enter into this question. The millionaire is as poor before God as the man who sleeps on the Embankment with neither penny nor purse. You might be able to scatter money with the munificence of Lord Nuffield, it would be of no account at God's door; gold cannot buy grace. A millionaire manufacturer in my native town gave a large sum of money to local charities. His Christian secretary asked him, Why? for it was an unusual move on his part. \"Because I want to go to heaven as well as you\" was his answer. But not such as he with his fancied ability to pay pass in to the Supper; it is the poor that are welcomed and those who think they are rich are turned empty away.\n\"Our poverty of soul\nTo God's gate can bring no toll,\nGiftless we come to Him who all things gives.\"\nTo every sinner that owns the truth God has got a perfect answer. Let a man confess his poverty, and God's answer is, \"Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.\" Let a man confess that he has been maimed by sin, and made helpless to work for his salvation, God's answer is, \"When we were yet without strength, in due time, Christ died for the ungodly,\" and, \"By grace are ye saved . . . not of works, lest any man should boast.\" Let a man acknowledge that he is halt, without the power to walk in the ways of righteousness, God's answer is, \"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 for ever.\" Let a man acknowledge that he is blind, God's answer is, \"To open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith that is in Me (Christ).\"\nWhy do not men understand their need of God's grace? Why don't they see that if they refuse His grace they must be lost for ever? God gives a solemn answer to these questions. We read, \"If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine in to them.\" 2 Corinthians 4.\nThe fact is that there is a great conflict for souls being waged between Satan, the god of this world, and the great Servant who has come from heaven to compel men to come in to God's Supper. I will tell you of the conflict for one soul, and how it ended. It was on a ferry boat, crossing the beautiful Sydney harbour, that I was introduced to a man of some standing in the shipping world of the city. He had graduated from the University and had made good in his business life, but that did not satisfy him; he had a great thirst for knowledge and was determined to know the truth as to things. In his search for truth he was attracted by Theosophy, which was in the way of being popular in his circle at that time, and for a while he was well satisfied and sure that what he held for truth could not be challenged. Satan had succeeded in blinding his eyes. One day he was seized with a sudden illness and his doctor ordered an immediate operation. Now came the test. He set about to work himself up into an ecstatic state of mind to face the ordeal; he succeeded, and this lasted until he got between the sheets in his bed at the nursing home. Then to use his own words, he \"got the wind up.\" The great Servant was opening his blind eyes. He had a few hours to wait for the operation and he was in a panic; his hope had failed him, it had burst like a bubble. He asked for a Bible and began eagerly to read from the New Testament, and he had read through the four Gospels before he was called to the operating theatre. There he had a strange experience. I had the story from his own lips. While under the anaesthetic he thought he saw upon a black background a cross uplifted, upon which hung Jesus, the Son of God. That was not strange, seeing he had read the story of the crucifixion four times within the last few hours. What was strange was that a voice seemed to say to him repeatedly and insistently, \"I am Alpha and Omega. I am Alpha and Omega.\" When he recovered full consciousness he asked the nurse, \"Can you tell me where the words I am Alpha and Omega are, in the Bible?\" She could not, but because he seemed so anxious to find them, she said she would enquire. Now it so happened that under God's good hand a Salvation Army Captain was visiting in another ward of that Home, and the nurse sent him to her patient. The Captain knew his Bible and found the words and preached Christ from them to the sick man. He being a graduate of Sydney University did not need to be told that Alpha and Omega were the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet; and as he pondered the words that had been so strangely impressed on his mind, the truth dawned upon his troubled soul. The great Servant had shattered his false hope, and delivered him from the blinding influence of Satan, and was leading him into the light. He understood that Christ was all; that whatever God had to say to sinful man was in and through Christ, and Him crucified. Thus was he guided into God's Supper. He was a happy man, as happy a man as I have ever met. It was a pleasure to be with him. \"My old friends call me 'the born-again man'\" he told me, and the name they gave him was a good one and suited him well. Thus does the Spirit of God work with men; first to show them their soul's deep need of the saving grace of God, and then to gently compel them to the door of His festal hall; WHICH DOOR IS CHRIST.\nThe Door to the Supper\n\"I am the door, by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved.\" \u2014 John 10.\n\"O God, through Christ, the living way,\nMy Father and my God,\nSo near, and I so far astray,\nBrought nigh Thee by His blood.\"\nYes, Christ is the door to the Supper, the only way of blessing for sinful men, He said so Himself. \"I am the door,\" and again, \"I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father but by me.\" John chapters 10 and 14. The words have been so often repeated and become so familiar that they seem to have lost their force and meaning; may the Holy Spirit of God put fresh unction and power into them for every one of us to-day.\nSome people seem to think that God ought to have opened a dozen ways into His blessing, so that they could have chosen the one that suited them the best; they turn from the blessing because they do not like the way to it, but there is none other. This is said both clearly and conclusively in Peter's words, when, filled with the Holy Ghost, he addressed the Christ-rejecting leaders of the Jewish nation. \"Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given amongst men, whereby we must be saved.\" Acts 4. God has bound up the blessing of sinners with the glory of His Son and never will one of them be saved apart from Him. The great Servant who has come from heaven to compel the needy into God's feast of blessing will compel them only through this new and living way \u2014 Christ. There is no room for argument, no other way of blessing is possible either in time or eternity. God has spoken, and His word is final.\nWe should rejoice that this is so, for Christ Jesus the Lord is both accessible and attractive and most suitable to sinful men. Multitudes can bear witness to this, and it is this that the Bible means when it says \"He is gracious.\" The four Gospels have been written that we might have no doubt about this. They show the Lord to us in a fourfold and complete way, and are well calculated to meet and win the most callous heart. They tell us that when the disciples would have driven the children away, He drew them to the warmth of His own heart and blessed them, and they were not afraid of Him and did not flee from Him. They tell us of the leper who came to Him, and was not repulsed. If he had come to Peter he would have cried, \"Don't come near me,\" and John would have said, \"Keep your distance,\" but Jesus had compassion on him and stretched forth His hand and touched him, and he, poor wretch, had not been touched for years, and the touch of that compassionate hand must have healed his stricken soul as truly as those words of power healed the plague of his body. These Gospels tell us how He wept over Jerusalem, the city that hated Him and was to murder Him, as He foresaw its doom, and how tears of divine sympathy flowed down His cheeks when He saw the sorrow of two of His friends weeping for their dead brother; for foes and friends He wept alike, and His tears were the proof of an impartial, invincible love.\nBut it is His cross that makes Him so irresistibly attractive, \"I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men.\" He was crucified; the Gospels tell us of this; and who can read that four times told story and remain unmoved! John the Apostle who stood by the cross, gives it to us in the fewest words. He tells us what he saw and heard: the cry, \"I thirst,\" the triumphant word \"It is finished\"; the thorn-crowned head bowed in death; the side pierced with the soldier's spear, and the flowing blood and water. Of all this he was a witness, and he says, \"He that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knows that he says true, that ye might believe.\" John 20:35. Alas that the record should have been made in vain for so many!\nLet us hear what John Bunyan can tell us of the effect of a sight of the cross. \"Now I saw in my dream that the highway up which Christian was to go was fenced on either side by a wall, and that wall was called Salvation, Isa. 26:1. Up this way therefore did burdened Christian run, but not without great difficulty, because of the load on his back. He ran thus until he came to a place somewhat ascending: and upon that place stood a Cross, and a little below it in the bottom a sepulchre. So I saw in my dream, that just as Christian came up with the Cross, his burden loosed off from his shoulders, and fell from his back, and began to tumble, and so continued to do, till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre, where it fell in and I saw it no more.\n\"Then was Christian glad and lightsome, and said with a merry heart, He has given me rest by His sorrow, and life by His death. Then he stood awhile to look and to wonder: for it was very surprising to him that the sight of the Cross should thus ease him of his burden. He looked therefore, and looked again, even till the springs that were in his head sent the waters down his cheeks . . . Then Christian gave three leaps of joy, and went on singing \u2014\n\"Blest Cross! blest Sepulchre! blest rather be\nThe Man that there was put to shame for me.\"\nIn this way did the pilgrim pass through the door into God's everlasting feast.\nAnd let us listen to John Newton. He had got as far from God as a man out of hell could, and in the hold of a fast sinking ship, when all hope had been abandoned, he cried to God for mercy, and saw as in a vision the Saviour on the cross, and prostrate at His feet he was saved, and afterwards wrote:\n\"I saw One hanging on a tree,\nIn agonies of blood,\nWho fixed His eyes of love on me\nAs near His cross I stood.\nThat look of love and sorrow said:\nMy life for thee I give;\nThis blood is for thy ransom paid,\nI die that thou mayest live!\nO never till my latest breath\nCan I forget that look;\nIt seemed to charge me with His death,\nI die that thou mayest live.\"\nThat was the way that John Newton entered into the blessing, and he could not forget it, nor did he intend that any one else should forget it after his death, as one who has written of him has said, for he gave instructions that the only epitaph on his grave should be,\nOnce an Infidel and Libertine,\nA servant of slaves in Africa,\nWas, by the mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,\nPreserved, Restored, Pardoned,\nAnd appointed to preach the Faith\nHe had so long laboured to destroy.\nAnd if I may be permitted to humbly put myself alongside these men, who were great sinners, greatly saved, I will tell you the way that I found the door to the Feast. I was a convicted and repentant sinner, feeling deeply my need of the Saviour, and a servant of the Lord put his arm round me and said, \"You'll trust Him to-night, won't you, dear?\" I knew who he meant when he said, \"You'll trust HIM,\" and I answered, \"Yes.\" He said, \"Let us sing,\nI am my Lord's and He is mine;\nGlad to confess His Name divine,\nWhen Jesus washed my sins away.\"\nWhy did I, on the following day, print the Name JESUS in capital letters, and put it where I could see it constantly? I had found the way to the great Supper, I had passed through the door of salvation \u2014 It was Jesus Himself, and He was not only the way into the Feast, He was the Feast itself. He was all in all.\nIf John the Apostle, and John Bunyan, and John Newton, and many another John, through infinite mercy found this one way of blessing open for them and if they entered in with gratitude and joy, why not you? The door is open still, and this great Saviour's words are still the hope of despairing souls, \"Come to me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,\" and, \"Him that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast out.\" The multitude that no man can number, who shall sit down at God's Feast, have every one of them entered by this one way: there is none other.\nHow the Guests are Fitted for the Feast\n\"Giving thanks to the Father which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.\" Colossians 1:12.\n\"It is the Father's joy to bless;\nHis love has found for me a dress,\nA robe of spotless righteousness\nO Lamb of God in Thee!\"\n\"For our robes, so white, so radiant,\nWitness as they shine\nOf the sacred blood that washed us,\nThine, O Lamb divine.\"\nBut how are needy, naked sinners, whom these guests, gathered from the streets and lanes of the city and from the highways and hedges represent, to be made fit to sit down and feast in the presence of God? The parable of the Feast at the Marriage of the King's Son given in Matthew's Gospel clearly shows that a garment is needed \u2014 there spoken of as the wedding garment, and every man's conscience tells him that he must have some fitness for God's presence if he is to be at peace and happy there.\nI knew a fine Christian, he was brought into God's great Supper as a young officer in the British Army. His ancestral home was in the South of Ireland, and as soon as he could obtain leave he went there to confess his faith in the Lord Jesus. He was anxious that all his old acquaintances should find what he had found, and amongst these was his old nurse, a Roman Catholic. \"O, Master Eddy,\" she said, \"don't you be worrying yourself about your old nurse, sure, she paid half-a-guinea for a shroud that his Holiness has blessed, and if her old carcase is wrapt in it when she dies, she'll go straight into paradise, and no purgatory at all.\" Of course she was deceived, poor credulous old soul, but not more deceived than legions who think that in a garment of their own righteousness they will be able to enter the glory of God.\n\"We are doing our best,\" say they, \"we are doing our best.\"\nOne lesson of the parable is that those who enter the feast, being \"poor and maimed and halt and blind,\" are as entirely dependent upon the Master of the house for fitness to enter as for the invitation to be there. And of this we may be sure, if He invites, He will give the fitness, but only those who know their need are ready to accept His gift of it, the robe of righteousness that He provides.\nI had addressed a meeting of Christians in Toronto, Canada, when a happy looking man came forward and said to me, \"I have to thank you, sir.\" \"Have you, and what for\" I asked. \"Well, twenty-seven years ago in St. Helens, Lancashire, you were used of God to the salvation of myself and wife.\" \"I am delighted to hear that,\" I said, \"for I was only there once in my life and I remember the meeting well.\" Said he, \"We were invited to hear you, two self-righteous churchgoers, who never imagined that we could be wrong; and what should your text be but, 'All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.' You did not spare us, and we went away from the meeting very angry, but our eyes had been opened, and we saw that we could not trust in ourselves, our only hope was in Christ whom you preached.\" The following evening a lady, who introduced herself as the wife, corroborated her husband's story of their discovery of the need of a righteousness not their own. Every one who enters the feast must learn what those Lancashire people learnt, and what Toplady had learnt when he sang,\nSimply to Thy cross I cling,\nNaked come I, Lord, for dress,\nHelpless, look to Thee for grace,\nFoul, I to the fountain fly\nThere are two things that a man who is honest before God must confess, first, he has sinned, second, he has no righteousness to cover him before God. If any man has not yet discovered these unpleasant but inexorable facts, he should read Romans 3, where we read, \"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God,\" and, \"There is none righteous, no not one.\" What can we do? Nothing. What will God do? Everything. His word declares, \"The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin,\" and, \"Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.\" How happy are all those to whom these great sayings apply; they have brought comfort and peace to many. And as to righteousness, the same word of God is equally clear. It tells us that God has declared His own righteousness \u2014 His own consistency with Himself, and all His attributes \u2014 \"that He might be just and the Justifier of him that believes in Jesus.\" What is it that enables God righteously to justify, or declare righteous all those who believe in Jesus? It is the value that He sees in the atoning blood.\nI listened with great interest to an old French missionary, who had laboured for many years among the Moslems of North Africa. He said the men delighted to gather round the Christian preacher in the Market Place and ply him with questions and riddles of all sorts. One day they were endeavouring to prove to him that Mohammed and his religion was far superior to Christ and the Christian Faith, when an old man spoke up and said, \"We believe in Mohammed, and have more than two hundred and fifty prophets, and are all in rags; this stranger believes in Christ and has only one prophet, and is well dressed, let us listen to him.\" The Christian missionary was better dressed than the old Moslem imagined, and he was able to tell them that he wore a robe, invisible to the eyes of men, but beautiful in God's eyes \u2014 a robe of pure righteousness, which robe is Christ. And every one that comes to God renouncing his own righteousness is arrayed in this same spotless robe.\nThe great men of olden times longed for this fitness for God's presence. Moses prayed, \"Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us,\" David said, \"As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake, with Thy likeness.\" What these men prayed for and hoped for is given to those who believe as a present possession, for Christ \"is made to us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.\" He became what we were when He was crucified, that we might become what He is now, the righteousness of God in Him.\nWhat a glorious time that will be, when God will look upon His assembled guests in His glory, and see them all conformed to the image of His Son, everyone of them having His likeness; but even now the Christian can say, \"As He is, so are we, in this world.\" This is God's bright design, the purpose of His love, that the poor, the maimed, the halt and the blind, should appear perfect and blameless before Him in His glory to rejoice in His presence for ever.\nBut if any man still thinks that his own righteousness, the works of his own hands, are a good enough covering for him before God, let him consider the parable of the marriage of the king's son in Matthew 22. There we read of a man who refused the garment provided by the king, and presumed to appear at the Feast in a suit of his own make. But the king came in to view the guests and his eye fell upon this intruder, and searched him through and through; he looked beneath the gaudy rags in which he trusted, and exposed the pride and obstinacy of his heart. To the demand, Friend, how camest thou in hither without a wedding garment?\" he was speechless, without excuse. Could he then plead for mercy and beg for a covering not his own? No, it was too late for that; it was too late. The sentence of the insulted king went forth. \"Bind him hand and foot and cast him into outer darkness.\" Immediately that sentence was executed; he was cast out of the Feast and his rags became the fetters that bound his soul in everlasting misery. He was searched, silenced and sentenced. It is divine love that has given the warning. \"He that has ears to hear let him hear.\"\n\"Until He find it\"\n\"And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing . . . I have found my sheep which was lost.\" Luke 15:5, 6.\n\"He found me, the lost and the wandering,\nThe sinful, the sad and the lone;\nHe said, I have found thee, beloved,\nForever thou art Mine own.\nO soul, I will show thee the wonder,\nThe worth of My precious blood,\nThou art whiter than snow on the mountains,\nThou'rt fair in the eyes of God.\"\n\"It was Thyself, O Lord, that sought\nWith tender yearnings, deep,\nThe loveless soul that sought not Thee,\nThe worthless, wandering sheep.\"\nThe Lord had more to say. His heart was full of the word He had brought from heaven and He cried,\" He that has ears to hear, let him hear.\" He did not ask for hands that could work, or purses that could pay, or brains that could solve great problems, but ears that could hear, for \"faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,\" and every word from His lips was the word of God. What a crowd gathered in response! Publicans and sinners, the scum of the city, men and women with empty hearts and blasted lives, all pressing about Him. What drew them there? They knew well that He had no sympathy with their sins, then why did they come? They came because they felt that He loved them, that He cared for them, that He would not spurn them, sinners though they were. And those Pharisees and scribes that stood scornfully on the outer ring, why were they there? They were there to carp and criticise and condemn; and now they see their opportunity and seize it. \"This man,\" they say, \"receives sinners.\" They could think of nothing worse than that to say of Him, and they said it with venom. He was despicable in their eyes with that mob around Him when He might have had their honourable company. How they hated Him! But they spoke the truth in spite of their hatred. That which degraded Him in their eyes was His glory; and they then and there gave to the evangelist a most blessed text. I take up their words and strip them of the scorn with which they clothed them, and sound them forth with eager lips as the very gospel of God. \"This Man receives sinners.\" Thank God! and again, Thank God! And that countless multitude that will yet fill God's home on high will be there, every one of them, because \"This Man receives sinners.\"\nThe sneers of these scornful and self-righteous men became the occasion for the unfolding of the very heart of God, and from those lips that spake as never man spake there flowed this three-fold parable, which has been the wonder and joy of multitudes. It is truly one \u2014 three in one. The Shepherd who seeks the sheep is the Son; the woman who seeks the silver is the Spirit, and the father who welcomes the prodigal is the Father \u2014 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Triune God \u2014 concerned and active, not in the spreading of the great Supper only, but in filling it with guests, in the salvation of the lost \u2014 these very publicans and sinners despised by the Pharisees \u2014 and in your salvation and mine. It is as though the Lord said to them, You are grieved and offended because I receive sinners, but I receive them because the Father receives them, I am here to show you the Father, \"he that has seen Me has seen the Father.\"\nBut if the Father was to welcome and pardon prodigal sinners, the Shepherd must first seek the wandering sheep, and I need not quote that Old Testament word, \"All we like sheep have gone astray\" to prove that the sheep that the Shepherd seeks are sinful men, such as you and me.\nSo it is that I must speak of the Shepherd and His search for the sheep before I reach the supreme parable of the Father's love, the one is indispensable to the other.\nIt is the persistence of His love for the lost that He unfolds in these few words. \"He goes after that which is lost until He find it.\" He does not tell all that this would cost Him ere He could lift it safely to His shoulders, we must go to other of His words for that. But these other words were plainly spoken and we learn that His love was a suffering love as well as a persistent love. A great foe claimed the wanderer, and judgment threatened it, it was in imminent danger of perishing, and if it was to be rescued and saved the foe must be defeated, the judgment must be borne, the danger faced. There was no other way; if there had been, God would have found it. \"If it be possible\" Jesus prayed, \"let this cup pass from me.\" It was not possible; the Shepherd must be smitten for the sake of the sheep. \"I am the good Shepherd\" He said, \"the good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees . . . I am the good Shepherd and know My sheep . . . and I lay down My life for the sheep.\" John 10.\n\"He tasted death's waters, offensive and bitter,\nYet dared He to drink, for the lost He would save;\nHis great love upheld Him, strong, infinite, quenchless,\nAnd for His lost sheep He went down to the grave.\"\nBut having laid down His life to ransom His sheep, He lives again to keep them. He holds them in everlasting security in the hands that destroyed the power of death, and upon His shoulders He has placed them; they are carried home by omnipotent ability, and not one of them shall perish; no power on earth or in hell can change His word; they shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.\n\"His own He has rescued from ruin eternal,\nHis blood He has shed for the life of His sheep;\nWhat creature on earth or in hades can challenge\nHis right His redeemed ones in safety to keep?\"\nThere is one word that stands out brightly in this three-fold story, it is \"I have FOUND.\" The Shepherd found the sheep; the woman found the silver; the Father found the son. The sheep, the silver and the son were saved; no one will question that, but it is not that that the Lord is showing here, but that they were lost and found. They were lost to whom were they lost? To the Shepherd, the woman and the Father. But we do not talk of a thing as lost that has no value. We do not seek for that that is worth nothing; and when we have found that that we had lost, ours is the joy. It is the joy of the finders that thrills through this three-fold parable, it is the joy of the Triune God. \"Rejoice with Me,\" says the Shepherd Son. \"Rejoice with Me,\" says the Holy Ghost; \"It is meet that we should make merry and be glad,\" says the Father.\nIt is a wonderful thing that sinners should be so precious to God, that He should set such a value on them as to give His Son for their salvation; and that His Son should have come from heaven and gone down into the depths of judgment and death that they might be saved, and that the Holy Spirit of God should have come from heaven to labour with them to bring them to repentance. It is wonderful, but it is true, for nothing less than this is the teaching of this parable. And twice the Lord tells us that there is joy in heaven over one sinner that repents. Empires may rise and fail, kings abdicate or be crowned, these are things that shake the world and fill the chief pages of our newspapers, but they do not move heaven; but if one sinner repents and turns to God, if the Shepherd finds one sheep, there is joy in heaven. Incredible! Yes, we would have said that if Jesus had not told us, but He knows surely what heaven values and He said, \"Likewise I say to you there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.\"\nI have read a story told by an Englishman who went deer stalking in the Highlands of Scotland. One day the old gillie, who was his attendant said, \"Turn your glasses on that spot on the mountain side, sir, and you will see a lost sheep.\" And sure enough he was able to discern the poor creature on a ledge of rock, above it unscalable crags, and beneath it a precipice dipping sheer down 500 feet. \"However could it have got there without flying?\" he exclaimed. \"Do you see a few yards down from the top of the cliff a narrow ledge of rock from which all the grass has been eaten, and again to the right another, and lower down another, and still another just above the one upon which the sheep is now?\" asked the gillie. \"Tell, that silly creature, tempted by those green looking ledges, has scrambled from one to another, and can't get back.\" \"But can't anything be done to save it?\" asked the tourist. \"Nothing\" was the answer. \"Even if anybody was foolish enough to risk his life in trying, the poor beast is in such a nervous condition now that at the sound of anyone approaching, it would leap over the precipice, and there's an eagle just waiting for its prey. Nothing can save it.\" I borrow and repeat the story, because I want to say that if your soul is in as great and imminent danger as that sheep was, JESUS CAN REACH YOU AND SAVE YOU!\n\"Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it.\"\n\"What moved Thee to impart\nThy Spirit from above,\nTherewith to fill our heart\nWith heavenly peace and love?\n'Twas love unbounded love to us\nLed Thee to give Thy Spirit thus.\"\n\"Praises for the Holy Ghost\nSent from heaven at Pentecost,\n'Tis through Him alone we live\nAnd the precious truth receive.\"\nIn considering the activities of the Godhead for the blessing of men we cannot leave out those that lie in the hands of the Holy Spirit. We have seen that He is the Servant compelling needy men to come in to the great Supper, and now His work is portrayed again in the central story of this great three-fold parable. He has come into the world, sent by the Father and the Son, to be the Servant of their glory and to seek the lost for their joy, but He must also have His share in that joy, for the joy of the Godhead is one; and though He seeks no glory for Himself, it is right that we should honour Him and rejoice in His unwearied and never ceasing labours of love. The lost piece of silver was not easily found, the woman had to light a lamp and search diligently for it before she could say, \"I have found that which was lost.\" It was hidden in the dust of an out of the way corner and would have remained there but for the diligence of the woman.\nIt has been the way of sinners to hide from God from the very beginning; it was the first impulse in the hearts of guilty Adam and his wife in Eden. \"They heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the Garden.\" Genesis 3. They had lost their God, but He had also lost them; they were lost souls and He came to seek them crying, \"Adam, where art thou?\" And it is thus that the Holy Spirit is seeking Adam's sons to-day, He is searching diligently for them.\nThe reason why Adam hid from God was because he had become a disobedient man and he feared God's just judgment; he did not know His mercy or His heart of love. Men hide from God to this day for the self-same reason; they do not know His thoughts and feelings towards them; they are ignorant, and ignorance of God is darkness; and darkness needs light. The woman lighted a lamp. The Holy Spirit has lighted a wonderful and unquenchable lamp. He inspired the Holy Scriptures, He is the Author of them, \"Thy word is a lamp,\" is clearly said of the Word in the Word itself. The Holy Spirit uses the Word that He has inspired; He uses it to expose sinful men in their hiding places, and He uses it as the infallible record of what God has done for their redemption.\nThe presence of the Holy Spirit in the world for His great work is just as real as was the presence of the Lord Jesus when He came into it to save sinners. The difference is that the Lord became incarnate, He could be seen and handled by men, while the Holy Spirit is not incarnate and consequently not visible to mortal eyes, and because men cannot see Him they ignore Him, to them He is non-existent. But to those who have believed He is real, they have felt His power and they walk in the light which He has brought to them. The wind is unseen, but its presence is felt and the effect of it is seen. So it is with the Holy Spirit of God. He strives with men, this we learn from the Old Testament \u2014 Genesis 6 \u2014 and men resist His strivings \u2014 this we are told in the New Testament \u2014 Acts 7. And when the history of souls is unfolded in the great day of judgment, multitudes will be compelled to confess that they have resisted His strivings and missed the blessing of God in consequence.\nI have no doubt that all who have believed the gospel could give some account of the gracious way of the Holy Spirit with them. Mr. J. Wilson Smith of Berwickshire, a one-time officer in the Royal Scottish Regiment, was well known for his long and faithful labours in the gospel throughout the Cheviots. He was to hold an open-air meeting on a certain Sunday afternoon, not many miles from Wooler. A fine old Christian lady felt a great urge to invite a neighbouring farmer's wife to this meeting, but she got very small encouragement when she did so. \"Open-air meetings are not for the likes of me. I go to church, not as often as I should like, but as often as I can. I don't need these open-air meetings,\" was the answer to the invitation. \"Well, Mrs. Dunn,\" said the Christian lady, \"don't forget, 'Ye must be born again'.\" \"What do you mean by that?\" came the sharp response. \"Come to the meeting to-morrow afternoon and perhaps you will find out,\" was the quiet and wise answer. I knew this Christian lady, and knew that she prayed for her neighbours, and I am sure that she asked that she might be guided by the Holy Spirit to invite this special one to that special meeting, and I am sure that the Spirit in His search for that religious but unregenerate soul gave her the words to speak to her. Anyhow, Mrs. Dunn could not forget them. As she went about her work she said over and over again to herself, \"Ye must be born again! Ye must be born again! I wonder what she meant.\" She continued to wonder to such purpose that at 3 o'clock on the following afternoon she was standing with many others waiting for the open-air meeting to commence.\nI knew Mr. J. Wilson Smith intimately for many years, and I never met a servant of the Lord who prayed more about his service, or sought more sincerely and earnestly the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God for the messages that he had to deliver. On this particular afternoon he did what was unusual for him, without a preliminary hymn or even a prayer, he announced his text. \"Ye must be born again.\" And as his fine clarion voice repeated the text again and again, the effect upon Mrs. Dunn was deep and immediate. \"Dear me,\" she said, \"the very same words, what can they mean?\" She discovered that they meant something that had never taken place in her soul's history. The Holy Spirit was shedding the light of the lamp upon her in her hiding place, and bringing her out of it. And she did come out of it, for she abandoned all her confidence in her religious observances, and it was my part in the matter and my joy to follow up the work and lead her actually to the Saviour's feet.\nI must add another incident in which the Holy Spirit showed His diligence and over-ruling hand in this search for souls. It is the case of a great friend of mine. As a young man, he began to realise that his endeavours to lead an upright life and his steady progress in his profession did not satisfy the deeper needs of his soul; he was unhappy, and he felt he was not right with God. It was the Spirit's work within him awakening him to his need of Christ. He was a methodical man and caught a certain train to the City every morning, but one morning, to his great annoyance, he arrived at the Railway Station just in time to see his train disappearing Cityward. When the next train came in he stepped into the compartment nearest to where he was standing. Sitting in the opposite corner to the one he took was a man reading a New Testament who looked up, and as though he was an old acquaintance, asked him why he was so unhappy. He was amazed, for how did this stranger know that he was unhappy! But the whole truth came out, and before the train reached its terminus that morning, my friend had found peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. And there was joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting.\nThere are many dark corners in the house in which sinners hide from God. With one it may be religion, with another pleasure, another becomes engrossed in business and hides in his success, and the longer they are hidden from God, the more thickly do they become covered with the dust of their sins. But the Spirit of God continues His patient pursuit of them, searching diligently until first one and then another is found. Saved by the precious blood of Jesus, but brought to own their need of it and to rely wholly on it by the work of the Holy Spirit. The work done for them by the Lord Jesus and the work done in them by the Holy Ghost result in their being found for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.\n\"And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country and there wasted his substance with riotous living.\"\n\"Man, earthy of the earth, an-hungered feeds\nOn earth's dark poison tree \u2014\nWild gourds and deadly roots, and bitter weeds:\nAnd as his food is he.\"\nWe need not search the night clubs for prodigals, or go down into the underworld of the great cities to find them, they are everywhere, and the man or woman that stands up and says to God, \"I thank Thee I am not as other men,\" is a lineal descendant of the Pharisee of Luke 18. It was not the \"riotous living\" that made this younger son a prodigal, but the heart that was in him, and God looks at the heart. \"Father,\" he said, \"give me the portion of goods that falls to me.\" And his father richly endowed him with goods. He gave him enough to enable him to make a great and honourable success in life. But he had other plans, and no sooner had he got possession than he turned his back upon his father and breaking loose from all restraint, travelled far away from home, and lived his life for his own pleasure without any reference to his father's will.\nWith what force do the Lord's words smite the conscience, and what a multitude does He describe in a few words. Here is a man, and most of us know him well, God has endowed him with great riches, He has given him a mind that can think, and hands that can work and a heart that can love, and every other faculty and organ that go to make up a man, and, greatest of all, an immortal soul. So that in all God's creation there is nothing like him; neither angel nor beast can compare with him,\n\"Mind that can compass the stars with its span;\nCreature of mystery,\nMarvellous man!\"\nWhat is he doing with his portion of goods, these great gifts? He is spending it all upon himself and without reference to God who gave all to him. He is the prodigal.\nHe may not be as blatant a prodigal as the rich fool of Luke 12, who talked to his soul, and said, \"Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.\" But he is the prodigal nevertheless if he lives for self and ignores the claims of God. But may not a man do what he likes with his own? \u2014 so thought the prodigal. The answer to that question is in the words of Scripture, and is a solemn and unalterable decree from the mouth of God, \"For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue confess to God. So then everyone of us shall give account of himself to God.\" Romans 14:11, 12.\nThis young son of his father was as much a prodigal when he decided to leave his father's house as he was when he shared the swine's field and food; he had a prodigal heart and, \"as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.\" As a matter of fact he was morally a better man in the swine field than when he left his father's house, for when he had come to the utter end of his resources, he began to have right thoughts of his father, and all his thoughts of him had been wrong up to that point.\nHow restless and restive some men become at the thought of their dependence upon God; independence was what Adam aimed at, \"Ye shall be as gods\" was the lie with which the devil deceived him, and this desire to be self-sufficing and independent of God has characterised every son of Adam since.\nBut where does this flight from God carry men? Into the far country; and what is the far country? It is the world; and what is the world? It is the devil's sphere, where he exercises his subtle wiles to deceive man and make them happy for a while without God that he might finally destroy them; the devil has no pity, no mercy. The Bible says the world is made up of three things \u2014 the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life \u2014 lust and pride. Men and women are investing their all in it, and they do not know that it is a bankrupt concern that can pay no dividends.\nYet that is not how things appear to the world's votaries. I listened to an open-air preacher, he was a fluent and forceful speaker, and chiefly because he was speaking out of his own experience. He told the people that the world had almost damned him. He had gone in for it whole-heartedly, and had found that the best it could give was \"froth and bubble.\" Listening to that same man was a young lady who said she did not agree with the man at all, she spent her time in the social whirl and was enjoying every minute of it. I was asked if I could explain the contradiction. My answer was, Here is a man who has come into a fortune of \u00a310,000 and he sets out to live at the rate of \u00a320,000 a year; what a man of wealth he seems to be and what a life he lives. Yes, for six months, and then bankruptcy! The young lady was living on her capital, and bankruptcy, moral, spiritual and eternal, lay before her and every other prodigal.\nIt is surely bad enough that great gifts should be squandered without return, but the tragedy is that the soul is risked and lost at the same time. Suppose a man could gain his utmost ambition in the world and lose his soul \u2014 what's the profit in that? Of course they are old words, but they came from the lips of eternal Truth and are eternally true. \"What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?\"\nI was introduced in the North of England to a young Norwegian, a cultured and attractive fellow. He was the son of a successful business man and had come to England to perfect himself in our language. I said to him, \"Wouldn't it be a splendid thing if you yielded your soul to the great Saviour at the very start of your visit? That would be worth coming to England for.\" \"No, no,\" he said, \"I want life, I want pleasure, I get that in England.\" \"What sort of pleasure are you wanting?\" I asked. \"Oh, the horses, the races, the theatres! I want horses, theatres,\" and his face glowed in anticipation. He had made up his mind, and my warning that these things were sometimes the devil's soul-traps did not move him, and after a few days he went up to London where he could gratify his tastes to their full bent. A few months passed, three, I believe, when I received through the post a copy of the Daily Telegraph. A paragraph in it was blue-pencilled; it told of a young man who had been found dead in the bedroom of a London hotel with a towel twisted round his throat. The verdict of the Coroner's jury was \"felo de se.\" He was the young man of my story. He had sold his immortal soul for sinful pleasure and it had slain him. Crowds are doing it eagerly, willingly they barter their souls to the devil for the excitement of the race-course, the theatre and worse places. Instead of God's salvation they choose the downward road, the world's way, that may not in their case run to a suicide's grave, but most certainly ends in hell-fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.\n\"Heart with a vacancy\nNothing can satisfy,\nFilled with some pitiful bauble or toy;\nPleased by variety;\nPalled by satiety,\nGroping for happiness, yearning for joy;\nSteeped in iniquity, folly and pride,\nThrusting its Monarch and Maker aside.\nDeity bled for thee!\nPitied thee, pled for thee!\nProffered His treasures eternal in vain.\nBulk of Humanity,\nCursed with insanity,\nTrample all offers of Grace with disdain\nThinking it wiser their God to defy \u2014\nShrouded in dark degradation to die!\"\nThank God, not all travel to that terrible end, many are awakened to their danger before it is too late, and the grace of God saves them, and gives them life and peace instead of disappointment and death, and heaven and eternal glory instead of hell and eternal woe.\n\"There arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.\"\n\"Where is the world?\nI looked for it, 'tis gone \u2014\nA globe of glass,\nCracked, shivered, vanished,\nScarce gazed upon\nE'er a silent power dissolved the glittering mass.\"\nThe prodigal journeys into the far country because he thinks it will do better for him than God will. He hopes for good things from it for it beckons to him with a pleasant smile, and makes great promises. It appears to be a nursing mother from whose breasts he may draw the milk of complete satisfaction. For a while he is not undeceived, it gives him the heartiest of welcomes, and spreads out its wares for him as Vanity Fair did for Christian and Faithful in Bunyan's Book. But at last he discovers it to be what it is, not a kindly mother that cares for her children, but a veritable vampire that will suck the blood of his soul and cast him aside at last as a worthless thing. If I were to quote Solomon to prove this, the king who tested every phase of the world, and declared it all to be \"vanity and vexation of spirit,\" I might be charged with putting forward one-sided evidence, so I will not quote him, nor any Bible text, nor any saying of a Spurgeon or a Moody, but I will quote one of the world's own poets, a man, titled, wealthy, and talented, who could say, \"I awoke one morning to find myself famous.\" He wrote after a few years of it,\n\"I fly like a bird of the air\nIn search of a home and a rest,\nAnd hear the confession of a man who was at one time a pampered leader of the gaiety of the world, he wrote: \"I threw the pearl of my soul into the cup of wine, and went down the primrose path to the sound of flutes, I lived on honeycomb; I let myself be lured into long spells of senseless ease. I allowed pleasure to dominate me. I ended in disgrace. Where I walk there are thorns, and like many or all who have placed their heaven in this earth . . . I have found the horror of hell.\"\nHe wasted his substance, and the substance wasted can never be regained, it is gone for ever. Then it is when the prodigal reaches this point in his experience that he discovers the world's true character. The mighty famine arises; and he begins to be in want, and is wanted no more. I heard of a young man who came into a large fortune at the age of 23. In a few years it had all gone, it had melted away like snow, and he had nothing left but a great quantity of corks; the corks were his only possession. But what were they and why did he keep them? It had been a notion of his whenever he split a bottle of champagne with a friend to ask him to initial the cork, and he kept these as souvenirs of the good times he had had, and now the fortune was gone, and the champagne was gone, and the friends were gone, and the corks were left. The poetess was not far wrong when, having observed that sort of thing, she wrote,\n\"Feast, and your halls are crowded,\nFast, and they'll pass you by\nSucceed and give, and they'll let you live,\nFail, and they'll let you die.\"\nBut the prodigal of the parable had not yet reached the nadir of his fortunes; when he began to be in want the gay side of the far country had no more use for him, but a certain citizen of it to whom he joined himself thought that he could still squeeze some service out of him, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. The degradation and horror of that could only be appreciated by the Jewish audience that listened to the words of the Lord. That certain citizen is the devil; and whoever found any pity in the devil's heart? Though he transforms himself into an angel of light, as the Bible says he does, there is no mercy in him, he is \"a murderer from the beginning\": yet as surely as a man flies from God, he flies into the arms of the devil, whose other names are, \"the dragon, that old serpent, and Satan.\"\nIt was not until he reached the level of the grunting swine, and was so hungry that he would fain have filled his belly with their food, that the prodigal came to himself, and began to assess things at their right value. What must have been his feelings as he brooded amid the wreck of his life? It has been the experience of many sinners. Thompson expressed it well in his great poem,\n\"In the rash lustihood of my young powers\nI shook the pillaring hours,\nAnd pulled my life upon me, grimed with smears;\nI stand amid the dust of mounded years \u2014\nMy mangled youth lies dead beneath the heap,\nHave puffed and burst like sun-starts on a stream.\"\nThe blinders are off his eyes, he sees at last, but where can he turn in his misery and despair? Who will help a wretch that the world does not want, and who may well be described as \"the devil's castaway\"? Memories of his father's house come back to him. The bounty of that house was proverbial, the very servants had bread enough and to spare; no beggar ever called at that house in vain, and he, a son, was perishing with hunger. \"I perish with hunger\" was the cry of his soul. And if his father's house was a house of plenty, what of his father himself? He will go and see, and he will cast himself upon his mercy and as he makes that decision he is encouraged to believe that his misery will move his father to pity.\nGod is the ruined sinner's only hope; I proclaim the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ to be the ruined sinner's only hope and more than friend. He loves the souls of men and the cry of need ever reaches His heart. When a sinner sinks to the lowest depths of his degradation he may still look up and meet a God whose heart yearns after him with unspeakable love. We have a telling incident in Old Testament history. Nebuchadnezzar, the great king, because of his pride had been reduced to the level of the beasts, and for seven years he ate grass like an ox, until his hair grew like eagle's feathers and his nails like birds' claws. At last his reason returned to him, he came to himself, and where could he look when he realised how debased he had become? He would be an object of contempt to the meanest of his slaves and would shrink away from their sight; but then, at that very time and in that condition, he says, \"I lifted up mine eyes to heaven.\" He could turn to God. But here is something greater than that. The prodigal says, \"I will arise and go to my father.\" But his father had risen up before him, and had prepared everything for his return and welcome. God is ahead of the sinner and heaven's rich provision and the Father's welcome awaits every prodigal that arises to return to God.\n\"I will arise and go\"\n\"I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, 'Father, I have sinned'.\"\n\"Lord\" from Thee I went astray,\nLured by magic song.\nThrough dim places far away\nI have wandered long.\nNow when lost are moon and star,\nShines the light of Home afar.\"\n\"Then within His home He brought me\nBrought me where the feast was spread,\nMade me eat with Him my Father\nI who begged for bondsman's bread.\"\nLook at the prodigal as he arises from the swine field to go to his father; his burdened conscience and the load of shame that weighs upon his soul make the going heavy; his need drives him homeward but he does not run, and often he hesitates, for he has gone so far away that it seems impossible that he should ever reach his father's house again. It would be impossible if it depended on his efforts, or even upon the sincerity of his repentance, but another and a greater factor enters the story, it is the father's love. \"When he was yet a great way off\" \u2014 the word is the same as the far country \u2014 \"his father saw him,\" \u2014 How keen are the eyes of love! \"And had compassion on him\" \u2014 How tender is the heart of love! \"and ran,\" \u2014 How swift are the feet of love! \"and fell on his neck and kissed him.\" Love cannot be restrained. He covered him with kisses, for that is the word. Consider well the activity and extravagance of the father's love\nIs that the way that God greets and treats returning sinners? It is nothing less than that that the parable teaches. But when the Lord told this story was He not exaggerating, did He not lay on the colours too brightly? That were impossible, for He is the Truth, and nothing but the truth and the whole truth could come out of His mouth. But why should God act in this way to those who can bring nothing to Him but their sin and shame? There is but one answer to that question. \"God is love,\" and the love that fills His heart for men finds its relief and its delight in covering the multitude of their sins by His kiss, and driving all fear out of their hearts by His love. I speak out of my own experience, which answers most blessedly to the words of the parable.\n\"Yet a great way off He saw me,\nRan to meet me as I came;\nAs I was my Father loved me,\nLoved me in my sin and shame.\"\nIt was now the time for the prodigal to speak, and his own need and his father's love gave directness and brevity to his speech, \"Father,\" he said, \"I have sinned against heaven and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.\" Here was sincerity and true repentance. He made no excuses; he did not cast the blame upon others; he did not even plead for mercy. In that sacred, solemn hour all others were forgotten but his father and himself \u2014 his sin and his father's love. This is the way that the sinner comes to God and is welcomed by the love that is greater than his sin. Then the whole truth comes out, for all was known before, and all is confessed and forgiven, and were this not so, no sinner could be happy in the presence of God. Let us anticipate for a moment and consider this son seated at his father's table, and suppose that his father had not known all his sins and forgiven all. He is not happy, his eye is on the door; every time it opens he is afraid that someone from the far country is about to enter the house to tell his father of some shame of his of which he does not know; says the son to himself, \"If my father discovers all, he will spurn me from his table and drive me from his doors.\" But no, he is afraid of no report of his doings in the far country reaching his father's ears; he can say, he knows all, even the worst; he knew it all before I confessed it, and he has forgiven all he knows. \"Thou God seest me,\" is a word that has made many tremble, it is a word that fills the heart that knows the gospel with peace and joy, for it means that God has forgiven all He has seen and known, there is nothing hidden from Him.\nThe father's answer to his son's confession is more than forgiveness for his sins, and food for his hunger, and the kitchen for his shelter, he is to have what he never had before. \"Bring forth the best robe and put it on him,\" is the command which willing servants hasten to obey, while the son stands by and submits with an amazement that robs him of speech. He is to come into his father's house not as a slave but a son, and he must be there in such a fashion that his father shall not be ashamed of him, but be able to look upon him with complacency and pleasure, and nothing but the best will do. The ring was the pledge of an endless love and the shoes were for a son recognised as a son and not a servant. And this is the way that God acts according to His eternal purpose to all whom He receives. Infinitely more than Adam lost in Eden is given in sovereign grace.\n\"From the riches of His glory\nBrought He costliest raiment forth.\nBrought the ring that sealed His purpose,\nShoes to tread His golden courts.\nPut them on me \u2014 robes of glory\nSpotless as the heavens above,\nNot to meet my thoughts of fitness\nBut His wondrous thoughts of love.\"\nThere was nothing more splendid in the father's house as he entered there by his father's side than that once prodigal boy, for he was dressed in the best that the house could produce, and not a servant in the house could say he was not fit to be there. But who shall speak of what the Father has done and will yet do for all who believe? They can say, \"Giving thanks to the Father, which has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.\" Col. 1:9. \"To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has made us accepted in the Beloved.\" Eph. 1. \"Now to 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 for ever, Amen.\" Jude 24.\n\"Had I an angel's raiment \u2014 fair\nWith heavenly gems unpriced,\nThat glorious garb I would not wear,\nMy robe is Christ.\"\nThus sang an old saint of God long ago, and every one that has come to the Father by Christ, the new and living way, may sing the same glad song.\nThen they began to be merry, and as they feasted on the fatted calf, it was the father's joy that filled the home; it was he who said, \"Let us eat, and be merry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.\" They began to be merry, and that divine and heavenly merriment shall never cease, for it is the joy of God in the blessing of men.\n\"And now in His joy He singeth,\nIn His joy He singeth of me,\nAnd all the heavens make music\nAs the gladness of God they see \u2014\n'He was dead \u2014 he was dead, and he lives,\nHe was lost, was lost and is found!'\nThis is the song that He singeth,\nThe marvellous joyful sound,\nThrough the open doors of heaven\nAfar through the starless night\nIs borne the hymn of rejoicing,\nThe music of God's delight.\"\nThis story of the love of God and how His love acts is incredible to all but a God-given faith, but those who have that faith believe it because Jesus told it, and His word is the word of the living God Who cannot lie. And how complete is the blessing, it is exceeding abundantly above all that they ask or think. Like the prodigal, they would have been satisfied with bread and a place in the kitchen, and that would have been infinitely beyond their deserts; instead God has forgiven them for Christ's sake, He has brought them into favour in His Beloved One, and they are permitted to hear the Beloved saying to His Father, \"Father . . . Thou hast loved them as Thou hast loved Me . . . and I have declared to them Thy Name, and will declare it, that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me, may be in them, and I in them.\" John 17.\nWhat an answer to the cold and bitter sarcasm of the Pharisees is this story of the love of God for sinful men! And what an answer to the devil's lie in Eden! In this love, so amazing, so divine, the weary sinner finds complete repose and, made fit for the Father's presence, worships at His feet.\n\"Likewise I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.\"\n\"There is joy in heaven to-night,\nAnd the angels all look on,\nYet it is not their's that deep delight,\nThough their praise swells loud at the glorious sight\nOf another repentant one.\nThe delight is Thine, O God,\nFor in Thee we find the source\nOf that stream of love so deep and broad,\n'Tis a stream that none can fathom or ford,\nIt has flowed by Calvary's cross.\nBlessed Lord, we hear Thy voice\nSaying, Friends, rejoice with Me,\nAnd our hearts are filled with Thine own deep bliss,\nWe can share Thy joy in a world like this,\nJoy in heaven! Joy in the presence of the angels of God! Do then the angels of God rejoice? They do surely, but this is not their joy, it is the joy of God \u2014 the joy of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. It is the joy of God that fills heaven when one sinner on earth repents! and all who are there see it, and participate in it. It is a most wonderful thing, and as we consider it we learn what is most to be valued on earth: not gold, or fame and worldly honours, but men, the souls of men, sinners though they be. But could there be anything else but joy in heaven? Well, sorrow and crying and pain and death belong to this world where sin reigns, and these sad things are the progeny of sin, and sin cannot enter heaven where God dwells, and yet \u2014 we read some strange and wonderful words in Genesis 6 \"God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.\" Think of that \u2014 God grieved at His heart! grieved because men were prodigal men, selling their precious souls to sin and the devil. Was there no sadness in heaven when God was grieved at His heart? Was Jesus sad when He wept over prodigal Jerusalem? Yes, the tears on His cheeks and the lament on His lips were proof of that, and He was God manifest in the flesh, and when He wept the sorrow of God poured itself out in human tears, and heaven was sad. So I conclude that in those ancient times when God grieved over the wickedness of men, there was sadness in heaven. Does anyone suppose that it gave God pleasure to sweep that generation away with a flood? Judgment is His strange work, and a necessity when He executes it, but mercy is His joy. The memory of that judgment soon passed away, and again \"the Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God,\" and the result of that search was sadly recorded, \"They are all gone aside, they are altogether filthy: there is none that does good, no, not one.\" Psalm 14. And must there not have been sorrow in heaven because of that, sorrow because men sought not God, nor desired to?\n\"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son into the world.\" Then there was joy in heaven, and the joy was great. The midnight sky was lit with the glory of the Lord, and His angel came down and announced to the shepherds on the hills of Bethlehem, \"Behold, I bring you tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.\" Because the Saviour had come to turn men back to God from destruction, the joy of heaven broke all its bounds, and a multitude of the heavenly hosts proclaimed their gladness by praising God and saying, \"Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.\" Then said those shepherds one to another, \"Let us go even to Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.\" And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. That Babe was Emmanuel \u2014 God with us and the name that was given to Him was JESUS \u2014 which means Jehovah the Saviour.\nNo story is better known in Christendom than that; would to God its meaning were understood. He had come from His eternal throne to open up a way of repentance for lost and prodigal men, that they might turn, and turning meet a pardoning God; and the joy of heaven at His birth into the world was in anticipation of that. But for this He had to die and rise again from the dead on the third day, and such was the value of the souls of men that He came for that. The gospel that Paul preached, and there is no other true gospel, was, \"That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.\" 1 Corinthians 15. His resurrection was as necessary as His death, for in that same chapter, written to those who had believed this gospel, it is said, \"If Christ be not raised your faith is vain: ye are yet in your sins.\" It was after His resurrection that the Lord said to His disciples, \"Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name, among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.\" Luke 24.\nThe gospel of God is a call to men to repent, which means turn and return; thus the prodigal repented when he arose to go to his father \u2014 God offers an eternal forgiveness to all men, it is this that is proclaimed in the gospel, but those only who repent receive this priceless boon. Repentance is a turning to God from the sinful way, because it is realised that it is the way of death, and that God is other than He is supposed to be, that He is not as men have imagined Him, a hard master, an almighty tyrant out of whose presence they had better keep as long as they may, but that He is full of tender pity, that He calls them to come to Him from their wanderings, and will welcome them when they come with the kiss of forgiveness. He gave His only begotten Son to judgment and death that He might do this righteously \u2014 that He might be a just God and a Saviour, and of such value are the souls of men in His sight, that He rejoices over every one that repents.\nI have seen a wayward but repentant son weeping for his sins and the sorrow he had caused his father, upon that father's shoulder, while the arms of the old man embraced him and tears rolled down his cheeks, and everyone in the house wept in sympathy with the father's joy. It was an echo on earth of the joy of heaven. I have heard a mother say when her son had turned to God, \"Now Lord, lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation.\" Her joy was heaven's joy reaching down to earth. I had preached the gospel on a Sunday evening in Detroit, U.S.A., and a lady said to me, \"My nephew was with me to-night and was very much moved, I wanted him to stay and speak to you, but he is reticent and did not care to, but if you will come to my home he will see you there.\" \"Certainly,\" I said, \"I'll come with you with pleasure.\" I was told that he was in his early twenties, and that his mother, more than 1,000 miles away in Canada, had long prayed for his salvation, and knowing that he was to attend this particular gospel meeting had decided to spend the whole time in prayer for him. We waited and waited for him and wondered why he did not come. He came at last when we had almost given up hope of him, and a wonderful joy rang in his voice as he said, \"I have found Him.\" \"Do you mean that you have found the Saviour?\" I asked. \"Yes,\" he said, \"and I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long, but I wanted my mother to be the first to hear the news, so I went into the city to telegraph it to her.\" But she was not the first to hear the news, before the electric wires carried it to her, heaven had got it. How greatly she rejoiced, yes, but her joy was the joy that had begun in heaven, she was near enough to God to participate in His joy.\nThere will always be sorrow for sin in the heart of the one who repents, but repentance is more than sorrow for sin it is a complete change of mind, that turns the whole man as the helm turns the ship. The Thessalonians repented when they turned to God from idols. Saul of Tarsus repented when he cried out to Jesus, whom he had hated, \"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?\" A young man whom I met repented when he said to me, \"I've had a look into eternity and I want to be saved.\" Repentance comes when the light shines into a man's heart and he becomes honest to God and confesses the truth, and casts himself upon God's mercy. When the publican stood afar off and would not so much as lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast saying, \"God be merciful to me a sinner,\" he repented, and there was joy in heaven over him and he went down to his house justified. But repentance does not save the sinner, it is God that does that.\n\"It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers,\nBut the blood that atones for the soul.\"\nYet no man is saved apart from repentance. Repentance and remission of sins go together in the sinner's blessing.\nWe do not read that anything else causes this special joy in heaven in these gospel days and this fact shows us what God's great interest is. He does not rejoice in the discoveries of science, whatever is discovered is His creation and He knows all things from the beginning, nor does He rejoice in the successful efforts of men to improve the standard of living, for that is merely a material and temporal gain, but He does rejoice when sinners turn to Him, when He finds that which is lost, for the sons of men are more to Him than shining worlds. He gave His Son for their salvation, and when they repent, they come into harmony with Him; they were dead but are alive again, they were lost and are found, and it is meet that heaven should make merry and be glad.\nSometimes we turn to the Scriptures and read of a time that is coming, the very thought of which thrills the soul. It is in Revelation 19 \"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come.\" That will be when the whole multitude of the saved are gathered home, and the work of Father, Son and Holy Ghost in regard to them is completed, then will heaven be the scene of continuous and eternal joy, but that joy begins now when one sinner repents \u2014 \"They began to be merry.\"\n\"Now the elder son was in the field: and as he drew nigh to the house he heard music and dancing . . . and he was angry and would not go in.\"\nThe two sons in our parable do not represent those who are sons by faith in Christ Jesus, but sons of God in the sense in which Adam was a son, by creation. Luke 3:38, and as one of the pagan poets, quoted by St. Paul, had said of all men, \"We are His offspring.\" Acts 17:28. Man was created in the image and after the likeness of God and set in the earth as a steward to hold it for Him. From that high honour he departed and fell when he gave his allegiance to the devil instead of to God, and he became what we see him now to be, not God-centred, but self-centred, a prodigal Adam and not an advancing and much to be congratulated ape. The race is a prodigal race, whether Pharisee or publican. Yet the heart of God yearns for men as the heart of a father yearns for a wayward son. It is this that the parable teaches.\nI have heard it argued that the majority of men are not like the younger but like the elder son, and to be heartily congratulated on their upright lives and good citizenship. Well, the elder son is a problem and not easily placed. But it must be noticed that it was he who said the good things about himself. It was he who said, \"Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment.\" Certainly he could blow his own trumpet, and he had a high estimate of his father's indebtedness to him. But look at him \u2014 an angry and jealous man! Consider him well; that which had made his father most wonderfully happy and filled his house with music, had filled him with bitter and hateful feelings. Look at the heart of the man, there is murder in it; we feel that he could have choked this vile son of his father's, if he could have demeaned himself enough to lay his hands on him; certainly he would rather he had perished in the swine field than come back to his father's house. Then he turns on his father and pours his spleen upon him. Why, through these \"many years\" of which he speaks, he might as well have been a thousand miles away from his father, for he had not a feeling in common with him; he had no sympathy with the compassions that filled his heart; he was morally farther away from his father than his wayward brother.\nHear him talk, \"Thou never gavest me a kid.\" Not even a kid! what resentment, what scorn is in those words. He charges his father with unfairness, unrighteousness, with a total lack of appreciation of all his honourable service. The only righteous man in the house was himself! Then the utter selfishness that was in him came out, \"that I might make merry with my friends.\" That was what his brother had been doing in the far country, at heart he was the same.\nAnd he would not go in. A quaint old preacher used to say, \"The younger son was too hungry to stay out, and the elder son was too angry to go in.\" The prodigal was driven to his father's house by his need, the Pharisee refused to be drawn by the father's grace. He may represent the Jew, of whom Paul wrote, \"They please not God and are contrary to all men, forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway; for wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.\" 1 Thessalonians 2:16, but he also represents those self-righteous people who will not have the grace of God, and they are many.\nI would rather be inside the house with the prodigal than outside with the Pharisee, for inside is the Father's love, outside is the wrath of God, and what a terrible thing it must be to be out of sympathy with God, to have not a chord in one's being that thrills to the joy of heaven, to be an alien to the life of the Father's house, and to choose to be outside of it instead of inside! Such was the elder son, and what will he do? A great blasphemer of God is reported to have said as his life ebbed away, \"O thou almighty but most indulgent God, hell will be refuge if it hides me from Thee,\" and it seems to me that hell will be preferable to heaven to the man who has the unregenerate heart of the elder son.\nBut why did the father go out and entreat him, and say, \"Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine\"? The father's heart yearned for the elder son as much as for the younger son, and the grace that was in him when he went out to him ought to have dispelled his anger, and opened his eyes to see what a father he had got; and it may be that the father recognised that he had not wasted his substance as the younger son had. God's grace puts no premium on vice, and the man who keeps himself from the grosser sins is not so great a sinner outwardly as the profligate. He may be only a fifty pence debtor in contrast to the five hundred pence debtor. Moreover, this man, if we can carry our thoughts back to the days in which the Lord lived, was one of those who never missed the services at the synagogue, he would be careful to keep the fasts and be strict as to all the outward observances of the law, he has his counterpart to-day in the religionist. The father did not charge him with gross conduct, he recognised the outward respectability and put all that he had within his reach, but he would have none of it, he would not go in. Can we not feel the sob in the father's words? Here was that that marred the joy; the father might have rejoiced over two sons; one of them refused to give him the opportunity and was a grief to his heart.\nAs long as the door was open, he refused to enter in, but when the door was shut, ah, what then?\nIn chapter 13 of our Gospel, we read, \"When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut to the door, then ye shall stand without and knock and say, Lord, Lord open to us,\" and further they will say, \"we have eaten and drunk in Thy presence, and Thou hast taught in our streets.\" There they are, the elder sons who would not have the grace of God, outside the closed door. \"But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.\" Luke 13:27-30.\nAnd, further God will be angry. \"Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant . . . None of those men that were bidden shall taste of my supper\" ch. 14. And what will the angry Pharisee do in the presence of God's anger?\nThe Rich Man's Doom\n\"And in hell, he lift up his eyes, being in torments . . . I am tormented in this flame.\"\n\"Thy song is at an end,\nThy harp shall solace thee no more,\nAll mirth has died upon thy grave,\nThe melody that could not save\nHas perished on death's sullen wave,\nThat flung thee on that shore.\"\nNo man of proper feeling could speak lightly of the doom of those who \"die in their sins.\" Next to those three mysterious hours of darkness endured by the Saviour on the cross of Calvary, there is no subject so solemn and appalling, and yet since it has its place among the truths of Holy Scripture, it cannot be ignored. But here the preacher of the Word must put a curb on his imagination lest he dishonour God and stumble men; his thoughts must be formed and controlled by what is written.\nThe Feast prepared for all men, and the Father's welcome to the worst of sinners, precede in this Gospel the story of the rich man and Lazarus, and this I believe is divinely ordered. First a full and eternal salvation offered to all, then the solemn warning to those who are disposed to despise that salvation. \"How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?\" The rich man's doom is the answer to that question. There is no escape. The warning was given to the proud Pharisees, who hated the Lord because of His care for sinners, and who considered themselves quite good enough for God without forgiveness and grace, and who supposed that such wealth as the rich man wasted on himself was evidence of God's favour. The Sadducees also mingled with the crowds that thronged to listen to the Saviour's words; they had persuaded themselves that there was no life beyond this, and would consequently congratulate the rich man not only on his wealth but on his wisdom in using it for his own pleasure. Their pernicious doctrines and influence were spreading among the people and had to be exposed. The progeny of these two sects is numerous to-day, more numerous perhaps than ever before, hence these warning words are needed now as they were when the Lord spoke them. Truth does not become outworn by time, it is eternal.\nIt was the Lord's own hand that drew aside the curtain that we might look into eternity; and by His own mouth this most solemn of all parables, if indeed it is a parable, was uttered. Who could tell us the truth as to the future but He? And love was behind the telling of it, for it is the way of true love to warn when its wooings fail. It is not the final doom of the wicked that the Lord here describes, but the sufferings of the intermediate state; that which lies between the death of the body and its resurrection at the judgment of the great white throne. Revelation 20. The souls that share the rich man's place and state in hades are remanded there until that last dread assize.\nThe rich man clothed himself in purple and fine linen and made good cheer in splendour every day. He lived for the present and forgot the future \u2014 he forgot eternity, and his sins and God. This alas, is the folly of thousands. He lived as did the rich fool of chapter 12 and as those did who despised the great Supper in chapter 14. He was a self-centred man, who gratified his fleshly pride and lust to his full bent; he left God out of his life and reckoning, and cared nothing for the stricken beggar at his gate, but left him to suffer and starve and die. Such a life could only move God's displeasure and wrath. But wealth and self-will cannot arrest the march of time, nor resist the power of death. Death is no respecter of persons, it claimed both the beggar and the rich man and neither could refuse its claim. The beggar's name was known in heaven, it was entered in the book of life there, and when he died angels carried him into Abraham's bosom \u2014 a Talmudic designation for the place of blessing. The rich man died also and was buried and forgotten by the successors to his wealth.\nThere does not appear to have been any interval between his unwilling departure from this life and his entrance into conscious torment in the next. \"I am tormented in this flame,\" is the cry of his soul, that had indulged its slightest whim in his former life; the cravings remained, but the slightest gratification was denied. This man, no longer rich, makes no appeal to God for mercy; he had lived without Him, and died without Him, and must abide without Him and without hope for ever. He does not pray for release, for he knows that that too would be useless. He has reached that woeful hour in his soul's history when the written word must have its full meaning, \"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still,\" and as there could be no change in his condition, there could be no release from his prison. One drop of water is all he craves, and that at the hand of the once ignored Lazarus, but that also is a relief that cannot reach him, for the great gulf is fixed never to be bridged, not even by almighty mercy, and the fountain of living water is not on his side of that fixed gulf.\nThis lost soul had full consciousness of his own misery and he had carried into hades a memory that could only add to his torment; and he was conscious moreover of the blessing in which Lazarus rested, in which he might have shared. It is a remarkable thing that he should then plead for his five brothers. It may be that he was responsible for the way they were living; he had set them the example and encouraged them in self-indulgent lives, and he would have them warned, for it would seem as though his torment would be increased five-fold if they came where he was, as a result of his influence and example. He pleads, If only some apparition from the unseen world would warn them, someone whom they had known in his earthly life, they would take heed and repent. No, answers Abraham, \"They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them . . . If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.\"\nBy this parable the notion that the soul sleeps at death until the resurrection is shown to be false; and that more pernicious teaching that the dead will have a second opportunity of salvation is exposed, and that still further lie that the spirits of the dead are anxious and able to communicate with the living is shattered. I am sure that some spirits do communicate through mediums at Spiritistic seances, for not all is fraud in those circles, but they are evil spirits \u2014 demons such as possessed men and women when the Lord came to earth, these impersonate the dead to deceive souls.\nThe rich man was conscious, he had no hope of salvation, he could not communicate with his brothers himself and heaven refused to allow one of the blessed to do it.\nFaith comes not by seeing apparitions and signs and wonders, but by hearing, and hearing by the word of God; there is no hope for those who refuse the word of God.\nI know that some, desiring to rob this parable of all its solemn meaning, and to do away with the thought of suffering after death, have endeavoured to make it illustrate the fact that the Jew has forfeited and lost the favour of God and the Gentile has come into it. It is true that this has taken place as Romans 11 clearly tells us, but this favour of God was and is only for this life, and does not extend to the next, and this parable tells us of the next life, where all national distinctions cease to be. Moreover if the rich man represents the Jew, and Lazarus the Gentile, the whole of mankind is covered by these two races, then what section of mankind do \"the five brothers\" represent?\nBecause men naturally hate the thought of their responsibility to God, and judgment after death, they argue against it, but even while they do so their consciences tell them it must be so. I was introduced to a man of considerable intellectual powers, a great student, and one who seemed sincere in his search for truth. We had a long talk together in which I pressed the claims of the Lord Jesus Christ upon him. Several times in the course of our conversation he said, \"I'll never believe in hell.\" My answer was, \"I am not asking you to believe in hell; what I want is that you should own the once crucified, but now risen and glorified Saviour as your Lord.\" His final words were, \"I'll never believe in hell.\" That night he found it hard to sleep; his conscience and his mind were in conflict, and he argued with himself, until very weary he dozed off to sleep early in the morning. It was the month of December. He awoke suddenly to see his bedroom lurid with fire, and his first thought was, \"I'm in hell.\" It was a great factory on the opposite side of the road that was ablaze, flames leaping from the windows. His relief was beyond words, but he began to ask himself, \"If there is no hell, why should I have thought that I was there on seeing the fire?\" He realised that his conscience had spoken before he had had time to marshal his arguments, and, a thoroughly sobered man, he came to listen to the gospel and fled for refuge to the one and only Saviour, Jesus Christ the Lord. Six months afterwards, from across the seas he wrote, \"I have found in Christ the solution of all my difficulties \u2014 He is the wisdom.\"\nBut we rest not either in man's conscience or his reason, neither is the standard of truth. We turn from man to God; we believe His word, and thank Him for its warning of love.\n\"These shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.\" Matthew 25:46.\n\"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.\" Revelation 20:15.\n\"One last word of solemn warning\nTo the world below \u2014\nOne loud shout that all may hear us,\nHear us e'er we go.\nOnce more let that Name be sounded\nWith a trumpet tone,\nHere amidst the thickening darkness,\nThen before the throne.\"\nIf objection is raised to my interpretation of the rich man's doom on the ground that it is a parable, I would remark that it is not so called; but even if it has that character, like every other parable of the Lord it was spoken to teach us some great truth, and what can that be but that that lies clearly on the surface of it? If it is further argued that \"tormented in this flame\" and \"great gulf fixed\" is figurative language, I would answer that it is figurative of something surely, and if the figure is appalling, what must the reality be? The subject is too solemn for argument, and if the interpretation given is not in harmony with the whole of the written Word, it must be rejected. The Word of God is the test and the standard, and upon this subject of such tremendous importance it speaks not only in parable but in plain and unmistakable doctrine.\nNaturally we shrink from the thought of eternal punishment as once we did from other solemn truths. The heinousness of sin, for instance, is not a pleasant contemplation until we discover that the all-cleansing blood of the Son of God has made a full atonement for us before God; death, too, fills us with fear until we learn that it has been robbed of its sting by the death of Jesus. But eternal punishment is different; if it is the truth, there is no remedy, no release for those who come under it, and it is this that makes it terrible.\nWe must admit that our thoughts and opinions are useless. We may rightly investigate the things that belong to this life and sphere and form opinions about them, for they lie more or less within the range of our understanding, but if we are to know anything about the unseen world and the life beyond this, we must get that knowledge from God; it must be by REVELATION from Him and not by our INVESTIGATION. And in this lies the difference between faith and the greatly flattered \"modern\" mind, which is practically synonymous with unbelief: the first accepts the revelation that God has given to us; the second refuses it and relies upon its own investigations. It is just here that difficulty in understanding comes in. In the things of God faith must come first; it is \"by faith we understand\" (Hebrews 11).\nGod's revelation is in the Bible. We get our knowledge of heaven from the Bible, we know nothing of heaven apart from it, but it speaks of hell as well as heaven. If we accept the one we cannot consistently reject the other. Take the words of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said, \"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you\" (John 14:2). If there had been no place and state of blessing beyond this life for us, He would have told us plainly; and if there had been no judgment to come, no retribution for sin, no hell, would He not also have told us? But the strongest language in the Bible as to these things came from His own lips. He spoke of some who would die in their sins and the impossibility of such going where He would be (John 8:21, 23, 24). He said to the proud self righteous hypocrites of His day, \"How shall ye escape the damnation of hell?\" (Matt. 23:14). He said, \"Fear Him which, after He has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear Him\" (Luke 12:5). He it is who will say to some in the day of judgment of the living nations, \"Depart, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels\" (Matt. 25:41), and of these He said, \"these shall go into everlasting punishment\" (Matt. 25:46). He spoke of \"outer darkness\" and \"weeping and gnashing of teeth\" (Matt. 25:30), and \"of their worm that never dies and the fire that is not quenched\" (Mark 9:46). Who dares to say that he will listen to the Lord and believe Him when He speaks of blessing, but refuse to hear and believe when He speaks of judgment?\nThe consciences of all men everywhere admit that there must be retribution for wrong-doing, and they act upon this in their dealings with each other; for laws are made by them and penalties inflicted upon the breach of them. Yet some would deny this right to God that they feel they must exercise themselves. \"But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things\" (Romans 2:3). God is not less righteous than men; His claims and authority must be upheld, and His judgment where these are flouted will be a righteous judgment.\nOthers admit that God must judge evil-doing who deny that His judgment is everlasting. To such our answer is: The Bible says it is. But it is argued that \"everlasting\" and \"eternal\" when used in the Bible do not mean \"never ending,\" The word occurs about seventy times in the New Testament, and I give some examples. \"To be cast into everlasting fire.\" (Matt. 18:8). \"These shall go away into everlasting punishment\" (Matt. 25:46). And in the same verse, \"the righteous into life eternal.\" \"Is in danger of eternal damnation\" (Mark 3:29). \"In the world to come, life everlasting\" (Luke 18:30). \"He that believes on the Son has everlasting life\" (John 3:15, 16, 36; John 5:24) \"The commandment of the EVERLASTING GOD\" (Rom. 16:26). \"An house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens\" (2 Cor. 5:1). \"They shall be punished with everlasting destruction\" (2 Thess. 1:9). \"In Christ Jesus with eternal glory\" (2 Tim. 2:10). \"The author of eternal salvation\" (Heb. 5:9). \"Having obtained eternal redemption\" (Heb. 9:12). \"Who through the ETERNAL SPIRIT offered Himself without spot to God\" (Heb. 9:14). \"Called us to His eternal glory\" (1 Peter 5:10). \"This is the true God and eternal life\" (1 John 5:20). \"Suffering the vengeance of eternal fire\" (Jude 7). What other language could God have used to have conveyed to our minds the thought of judgment and punishment without end? And if the punishment is for a time only and not everlasting why should He have used the same word to describe it as that which describes the blessing of the saved and the eternity of His own Being, and not have said so in language about which there could have been no question?\nAnother argument against the truth is that reason revolts against the eternity of punishment for a lifetime of sin; but whose reason revolts against it? Quite recently there was a case of a man who received a life sentence for the attempted murder of a policeman; his reason revolted against it, he thought the sentence too heavy, too terrible; he said so, and appealed against it on that ground, but his reason was no match for the sentence of the law, his appeal was dismissed. It is not for the criminal to say what the sentence shall be; the judge decides that, and when God judges He will do it in absolute justice; \"We are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth\" (Romans 2:3). He has told us what that judgment will be before any come into it, and He has done this in love that warns of it that men may escape.\nBut further, it is evident that the state of those who die in their sins and upon whom the judgment that comes after death will fall, remain unchanged. We do not read of any hope of repentance on their part in eternity. Three times over the Lord repeats the solemn word, \"Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched\" (Mark 9:44, 45, 48). It is generally said that \"their worm\" symbolizes the gnawing and remorse of the conscience, and it may indeed be this, but there is surely more in it; \"their worm\" speaks of corruption, and in this corrupt condition they remain unchanged for ever. Consequently the fire, symbolical of God's judgment, abides on them, it never dies out. We do not mean that these unrepentant sinners will continue sinning in hell, for as men in prison are restrained from crime, so will the lost be under the restraint of God's judgment in the lake of fire; but the sinful condition will remain, for we read, \"He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still\" (Rev. 22:11). And John 3:36 is a decisive word: \"He that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.\" He \"shall not see life\" shatters the false hope of the universalist, and the wrath of God abiding on him meets the error of the annihilationist.\nNow if there is no judgment for sin, or if that judgment is of a limited or temporal sort; if, for instance, sin can be expiated by a period in purgatorial fires, why did Christ die? And do we not here come to the heart of the whole question? If the punishment for sin is not everlasting, it did not require an infinite sacrifice to atone for it, and a lesser person than Christ could have made it. But the fact that \"God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son\" that men might not perish, is proof enough that they would and will perish apart from Him. It is the \"whosoever believes in Him\" that escapes this awful doom. To deny eternal punishment is to belittle the greatness of God's gift, and the work and death of Christ, and to make sin against God but a matter of small account.\nThe cross of Christ, on which He gave Himself a ransom for all, is the great proof of God's love for men and the length He would go to save them; He could not have done more, and less would not have availed. But that cross is also the great proof that God cannot pass by the sins of men as though they were nothing at all. He would not be a God of holiness and truth if He did; hence the gospel that proclaims His love and grace also reveals His wrath against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men (Romans 1:18). How shall those who have refused to repent of their sins to God, and have neglected His great salvation, escape His wrath? His goodness and long suffering have been expended on them, but all in vain, they have not obeyed the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and must be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power (2 Thess. 1:8). Thus the Bible teaches, and to reject its clear statements and believe instead the reasonings of the human mind is blind folly.\nThe greatness of God's love has been revealed in the gift of His Son for our salvation (see John 3:16; Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:9, 10). The universality of His mercy is manifested in the offer of salvation to all without any exception, but the eternal punishment of impenitent sinners will be an eternal witness to the infinite character of His wrath against sin, a wrath that will be as perfect and just as His mercy.\nBut judgment is God's strange work. He will find no delight in it, though He does delight in mercy. We read that in heaven they say, when God judges, \"True and righteous are His judgments\" (Rev. 19:2). That is not a joyous song; but there is joy in heaven, though it is not when judgment is executed, but when one sinner repents, and in that joy God's heart reveals itself, it is His own joy in which all heaven shares.",

        "title": "Assignment One: Essay on narrative structure - Stephanie Louisa Usher",
        "raw_content": "Assignment One - Essay on analytical narrative structure\nMy choice: Touching the Void\nTouching the Void \u2013 Kevin McDonald\nThe opening sequence really attracts the audience, the first thing we see is a black screen, with white writing on the left side, outlining facts and figures about the mountain and the journey, this actively involves the audience. Following this we have a slow-paced, visually exciting sequence of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes, there are lots of establishing shots of the mountains and characters. This is anchored to sound, which has been amplified, to create strong sound effects echoing through reconstructions of the journey. We cut between this and the silent interviews with the main characters, the editing emphasizes important phrases which are clues to what is to come in the story; \u201c\u2026at some point you have to reply wholly on your climbing partner\u2026\u201d.\nField states that the beginning of a screenplay needs to establish three things \u201cthe character...the dramatic (or comedic) premise\u2026and the situation\u201d (Syd Field, 2005, pg. 100). With this in mind the opening hook of Touching the Void does everything it should; the story is well established, we know the goal of the characters, we know the conditions they will need to overcome and there is a dramatic presence which drags the viewer in.\n\u201cEndings and beginnings: two sides of the same coin.\u201d (Syd Field, 2005. p104)\nThis is true in Touching the Void as we have a bookended story; we end the story exactly the way we started, with the three characters and their belongings at base camp, cutting to the same black screens.\nTouching the Void adheres closely to the three-act structure outlined by Field. There is a clear separation of the three acts created by the storyline, plot-points and the editing. The act breaks follow the timings that Field outlines, with act one ending at thirty minutes, act two ending at sixty-seven minutes and resolution at one hundred minutes. As discussed the opening act fulfills its purpose, and the second act does not fail to do the same. Field states that in act two the main character \u201cencounters obstacle after obstacle that keeps them from achieving their dramatic need\u201d (Syd Field, 2005, pg. 201) and this is exactly what the audience sees.\nOn further investigation, you can also translate Touching the Void to Vogler\u2019s version of the three-act structure. In act one the characters have a call to action, in act two-A they take the call to action, they have the ordeal and obstacles in act two-B and finally in act-three both characters make their way to the resolution, where they go through a process of metamorphosis.\nThe story is further supported by the inverted triangle approach, where the writer starts with a lot of information about the journey and the characters and then slowly drip feeds more information as the story develops (for example, Joe\u2019s stubborn and pragmatic personality).\nA plot point is described to be \u201cany incident, episode, or event that hooks into the action and spins it around in another direction.\u201d (Syd Field, 2005, p 143). As Field describes, Touching the Void has plot point one and plot point two; the two key plot points that hold any narrative in place. Both plot points occur exactly when the paradigm outlines they should, PP1 lands almost dead on the thirty-minute mark, just before the end of act one, Simon cuts the rope suspending Joe and he falls, it\u2019s this specific moment that sets the screenplay on its way. PP2 comes in the fifty-ninth minute; Joe is in despair, he is stuck down a deep crevasse, he takes a chance and lowers himself deeper into the unknown where he finds his way out. The story changes yet again.\nAlso following Syd Field\u2019s theory, the bulk of exciting plot points happen in act two. Every plot point shows the emotional and physical aspects that are slowly disintegrating our characters; examples include Joe breaking his leg and Joe\u2019s deliria.\nTouching the Void has very little in the way of traditional character set up, it\u2019s almost like all Field\u2019s theory work (the three P\u2019s and the Coffee Cup analogies) have been thrown out the window. The writer does not tell us much about the backstory or the interior/exterior life of the characters, this is possibly because the characters are not created and the characters tell the story.\n\u201cEvents in a screenplay are specifically designed to bring out the truth about the characters\u201d (Syd Fields, 2005, pg. 44).\nThis is very true of this screenplay, we always have the need of the characters. Their need to climb the mountain \u2013 and later the need to survive - tests them and brings out the truth in their characters. Touching the Void is fantastic at telling us facts about the characters at pivotal parts of the screenplay \u2013 for example Joe\u2019s pragmatic nature.\nWe meet Joe, the main character, closely linked with Simon, his climbing companion. We learn about the pair mainly from the \u201cthird-wheel\u201d Richard. We learn quickly that Joe is 25 and Simon is 21, they are both incredibly young, self-claimed ambitious, remarking that climbing makes them feel \u201calive\u201d. Richard speaks of how he had a great bond with Simon but not so much with Joe. This causes the audience to wonder if Joe is an unpleasant person, which is thought provoking as later we learn that Simon is the character who feels no guilt and seems emotionless.\nDramatic tension in this piece is pinnacle to its success; the use of music is excellent, it depicts the emotion to the audience, from somber slow music, to happy and uplifting. The use of the handheld camera work is also extremely successful, it really gives the audience a sense of being there with the characters. Dramatic tension is also created by the use of shots; at the start of the story the shots are very wide, but as things become tense, the shots are very close, particularly in the character interviews. This level of extreme-close-up allows us to see the true character emotions. Further to this the use of dramatic irony works well, as the audience feel they are ahead of the climbers. The dramatic tension is mainly created by the use of sound effects, in times of struggle and loneliness the sound is amplified.\nIn conclusion Touching the Void is seemingly enhanced by Field\u2019s suggestions for successful narrative, but in some ways it takes on its own style. This is also true when comparing the documentary to its genre conventions. For example Touching the Void uses the traditional handheld camera work, the simple fade to black and straight cuts in the editing, but uses the non-traditional \u201ccharacter narration\u201d which makes the documentary less stereotypical and slightly different. This narration style enhances the tone of the piece, as you feel with the character.\nField, Syd (1984-2005). Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting.

        "raw_content": "Baptism in our Church is celebrated the 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month.\nPlease contact the Parish Office on 9607 8760 for details and appointments.\nBy Baptism a child is brought into the Christian community, is incorporated into Christ's Body, and begins to live with the very life of Christ. The full wonder of Baptism cannot be expressed here, but to help all in our parish to understand something of it the following guidelines will be followed always.\nThe Rite of Baptism states:\nIf possible, Baptism should take place on Sunday, the day in which the Church celebrates the paschal mystery. It should be conferred in a communal celebration for all the recently born children, and in the presence of the faithful, or at least of relatives, friends and neighbours, who are all to take an active part in the rite. (No. 32)\nThe community aspect of Baptism is often stressed in the rite. The local community welcomes the child into its midst with great joy, while realising the important part it has to play in supporting the parents in fulfilling their responsibility and pledge to be a channel for the grace of God. Infant Baptism is but a seed to be nurtured by the parents \u2014 something often stressed in the rite.\nThe priest reminds parents that they are to be the \"first and best teachers in the ways of faith\". There is a problem to be faced when parents do not hold much promise of being good teachers in the areas of faith. Perhaps they seldom participate in Mass, pray hardly at all, and have little or no knowledge of or interest in the faith. The Rite of Baptism then says that the parish priest may defer the Baptism for a while. The Code of canon Law states that \"for an infant to be baptised lawfully it is required that there be a well-founded hope that the child will be brought up in the Catholic Religion.\" (Canon 868 No. 2) Pope John Paul II said in 1980 that if the assurances of an upbringing in the faith cannot be honestly ascertained, then \"there can be grounds for delaying the sacrament; and if they are certainly non-existent, the sacrament should even be refused\".\nIf you would like to have a child baptised, please call the Parish Office to arrange an interview. Naturally, given the nature of the sacrament as welcoming a child into our Catholic family, it is appropriate that baptism be celebrated in the parish where the family attends Mass. Thus we do not baptise unless the family worship at St. Francis Xavier's.\nTo quote the Rite of Baptism again:\nIt is the duty of the priest to prepare families for the Baptism of their children and to help them in the task of Christian formation which they have undertaken.\nWe the parents request that our child receive the Sacrament of Baptism.\nWe understand that Baptism establishes a bond between our child and God and thereby links our child with all others who are His followers.\nWe understand that Baptism initiates our child into the community of believers who follow Jesus Christ and that community on the local level is the Parish Church Community.\nOur request for lawful Baptism implies that we as parents wish our child to be raised believing and living the values of that Christian community called the Catholic Church which says, \"It is required that there be a well-founded hope that the child will be brought up in the Catholic Religion. If such hope is truly lacking, the baptism is to be deferred and the parents advised of the reason for this.\"\nAs members of that church we believe all that Christ taught, and we wish to pass on to our child the faith that is ours, and so we will try to set an example of true Catholic living.\nWe know that the church encourages parents to promote prayer at home and obliges them to attend Mass on Sundays as an integral part of their Catholic lifestyle.\nWe understand that the Baptism of our child is the first step in a lifetime of faith and that in due time our child will mature through the reception of other Sacraments \u2013 Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.",

With Stompin\u2019 Room Only, we get a chance to return to the glory days of The Marshall Tucker Band\u2019s original lineup- Doug Gray, Toy Caldwell, Tommy Caldwell, Jerry Eubanks, Paul Riddle, and George McCorkle - for a never before released live recording from the seventies. It\u2019s a project that was supposed to come out on Capricorn Records back in 1977, but never did. Then the master tapes were lost, only to resurface in the 21st century, just in time for the 30th anniversary of South Carolinas favorite Sons of the South.\nThe bulk of Stompin Room Only was recorded during the Tuckers 1976 tour of Europe, with a pair of tracks recorded in the Milwaukee in 1974, and a smoking version of B.B. King\u2019s \u201cThe Thrill is Gone,\u201d recorded during Charlie Daniels\u2019 Volunteer Jam, and featuring appearances by Charlie and Dickey Betts. Doug Gray gives his vocal cords a true workout, and exposes his blues-gospel roots with true Southern passion.\nThe set kicks off at The Hammersmith Odeon in London, with the band\u2019s Grammy nominated instrumental, \u201cLong Hard Ride,\u201d before launching into one of Toy Caldwell\u2019s finest, \u201cThis ol\u2019 Cowboy. \u201c It does the heart good to hear that Toy Caldwell guitar once again, highlighted by brother Tommy\u2019s driving bass.\nAlso featured is George McCorkle\u2019s \u201cFire On The Mountain,\u201d another Top 40 hit, with Toy on pedal steel. The hits just keep coming, like ghosts of old friends - \u201cSearchin\u2019 For A Rainbow,\u201d \u201cTake The Highway,\u201d \u201cCan\u2019t You See,\u201d \u201cBlue Ridge Mountain Skies,\u201d \u201cHillbilly Band,\u201d and a passionate \u201cRamblin\u2019,\u201d \u201c24 Hours At A Time\u201d spotlights everyone, from Doug\u2019s vocals to Toy and George\u2019s guitars, to Tommy\u2019s bass (solo!), to Paul T\u2019s drums, Jerry\u2019s sax and special guest - and a lifetime friend of the MTB - Charlie Daniels on fiddle.\nA wise man once told me, \u201cit\u2019s all about timing.\u201d Well, he was right. I can think of no better time for Stompin\u2019 Room Only to come out than right now. It\u2019s a spiritual thing. A reminder of all these beer and smoke filled nights of our high school days, standing right at the front of the stage with a perpetual grin, watching Toy Caldwell smoke the strings of his Les Paul - watching Tommy Caldwell drive the band to jams that would make any of today\u2019s so-called jam-bands envious. The Marshall Tucker Band live. Often imitated. Never duplicated.",

        "title": "RESTAURANT REVIEW: A Vegetarian's Guide to the MIT Area -- A Rundown of MIT Eateries, Local Grocery Stores, and Restaurants - The Tech",
        "raw_content": "Volume 121 >> Issue 46 : Wednesday, September 26, 2001\nA Vegetarian\u2019s Guide to the MIT Area\nA Rundown of MIT Eateries, Local Grocery Stores, and Restaurants\nSonja A. Sharpe\nNow that classes have begun in earnest at MIT, a student\u2019s thoughts typically turn to where to find the fastest, cheapest food in the area. Vegetarians and vegans often have difficulty in this regard, since restaurants close to MIT, and even some on campus, do not all offer a large selection of vegetarian/vegan options. This guide was created to demonstrate the wide variety of vegetarian and vegan cuisine that is indeed available in the Boston/Cambridge area. It should prove most helpful for those incoming students who are new to Boston, but it can also serve as a wonderful tool to those who are just beginning to explore a vegetarian diet and to veterans of vegetarianism or veganism as well.\nOnly those restaurants that offer a variety of vegetarian options were included. However, Italian restaurants, Indian restaurants, and oriental restaurants, all of which typically have a pretty good variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes, were omitted for the sake of brevity, except for one or two exceptional examples of these types of cuisine. Most other restaurants in the area do offer a limited number of vegetarian entr\u00c9es, but typically only the standard ones such as a veggie burger, a salad, or a pasta dish. All of the places mentioned in the guide are accessible from MIT, either by foot or via the T, with the majority being accessible from the red or green lines.\nFor the purposes of this guide, vegetarian is taken to mean no meat or fish products, but including dairy and eggs. Vegan is taken to mean no animal products at all, but including honey. For more general information about vegetarianism/veganism, there are many vegetarian groups active in the Boston area which provide information about events, recipes, and other issues related to vegetarianism/veganism. The Boston Vegetarian Society is a prime example of this. Their web site, found at <http://www.bostonveg.org/index.html>, is a great place to find out what vegetarian-related events are going on in Boston (for example, the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival will be held on October 13th this year). The site also hosts a long list of links to other vegetarian/vegan-related web sites. MIT even houses its own MIT Vegetarian Support Group. Students are free to subscribe to any of their many e-mail lists, which cover topics from recipes to planned activities and group dinners. The group\u2019s web page (although somewhat outdated) is rather informative and provides a very comprehensive list of links related to vegetarian/vegan issues. Their web site is located at <http://www.mit.edu/activities/vsg/home.html>.\nMIT Dining\nA comprehensive list of all MIT dining locations, including brief descriptions of the types of food served, can be found at <http://dining.mit.edu/locations/index.html>, while their exact hours of operation can be found at <http://dining.mit.edu/fall/ schedules.html>. The places mentioned below offer a variety of vegetarian options, as opposed to just one or two items. In general, MIT Dining is pretty good about providing vegetarian meals, but vegans will have a more difficult time finding much variety in pre-prepared foods. However, MIT Dining has confirmed that the breads, pita, bagels, and wraps used to make sandwiches are all vegan, and so is the white rice served in the oriental venues on campus. Students who have any suggestions or even recipes that they would like to share with MIT Dining are encouraged to send an e-mail to meal@mit.edu.\nCourses offers a variety of vegetarian breakfast options, but vegan options are limited primarily to bagels and fruit. Lunch and dinner provide more opportunities for vegans, since sandwiches, such as the veggie wraps and items prepared on the grill, can be custom ordered. General, vegetarian fare includes a daily vegetarian entr\u00c9e (which may sometimes be vegan), a tofu kabob, a veggie burger, a veggie wrap, a mushroom burger, and salads. Pre-prepared meals, a couple of which are vegetarian, such as the lasagna and the macaroni and cheese, can also be found at Courses.\nStratton Student Center\nLobdell Food Court\nThe standout here is the Granary, which is all vegetarian, all the time, and even vegans can find something here, since cheese can be left out of many of the dishes. Other highlights include Tortilla Fresca, where students can pick out their own ingredients, the Salad Garden, which is a pretty decent salad bar, and Global Spin, where the rice is vegetarian, the veggies are fried in olive oil, and tofu is readily available. There is also Bene\u2019s Pizza, which offers veggie pizzas (but does not offer no-cheese pizzas), and the Deli, which makes a grilled vegetable sandwich. At least one of the soups or chilies offered daily is also vegetarian, although not necessarily vegan. Even Burger King has attempted to become somewhat vegetarian friendly by offering a vegetarian burger, but students should take note that this only includes the bun and condiments; no patty is included.\nThe food court in Walker is very similar to the Lobdell Food Court in the Student Center. Another version of the Granary is here, as is the Salad Garden, Bene\u2019s Pizza, the Deli, and Jump, an oriental venue offering some vegetarian options. The food court here also sells Odwalla Bars, which are vegan power bars.\nDome Caf\u00c9 (Building 7, 4th Floor), Building 4 Coffee Shop (Infinite Corridor, Building 4), Bio Bagels (Building 68, 1st Floor), East Side Caf\u00c9 (Building E19, 3rd Floor), Refresher Course (Sloan Building, 1st Floor)\nThese caf\u00c9s offer only limited vegetarian fare, typically in the form of bagels, pastries, pizza, yogurt, a salad, a veggie wrap and/or a vegetarian sandwich. The East Side caf\u00c9 does offer several vegetarian breakfast options. There is almost nothing available for vegans at these locations, however.\nThe food trucks on campus offer a good variety of vegetarian meals, similar to the Food Courts in Walker and in the Student Center, but cheaper. Four food trucks are located just off of Ames Street on the parking lot side of the Biology Building (Building 68). The options here include Yona\u2019s pizza, which offers several veggie pizzas, Jeruselem Caf\u00c9, which offers a variety of vegetarian and vegan Middle Eastern food, typically wraps and salads, Goosebeary\u2019s, which provides many vegetarian and vegan options, and Jose\u2019s Mexican Food, which offers vegetarian burritos, enchiladas, and nachos. The rice and beans at Jose\u2019s are also vegetarian. A fifth food truck, Couscous Kitchen, is usually parked on Massachusetts Avenue across from the Student Center. Couscous offers Middle Eastern food that is cheaper and contains larger variety of vegetables than Jeruselem Caf\u00c9. There is also a second Chinese food truck parked on Massachusetts Avenue, but it is more expensive than Goosebeary\u2019s and does not offer as many vegetarian selections.\nLaVerde's\nThis store is conveniently located on the first floor of MIT\u2019s student center, but it is a bit pricey. The store does have a veggie-friendly deli and veggie pasta salad selections, but offers only limited produce, none of which is organic. However, the Sant\u2019s selection of sandwiches (located with the prepared sandwiches at the front of the store) are made with some organic ingredients, and are all outstanding. All of the varieties (including hummus and black olive, tofu salad, tempeh Reuben, etc.) are vegan except for the eggplant Parmesan and the seitan Parmesan. LaVerde\u2019s also sells soy and rice milk of several varieties, as well as vegan cookies made by Boston Cookies, a company based in Somerville, MA.\nHours: Mon-Sat 7 a.m.-Midnight Sun 8 a.m.-11 p.m\nHarvest Co-operative Supermarket\nLocated right next to the Central Square T stop, Harvest is a wonderful source for vegetarian, vegan, and organic foods, and it is the health food store most convenient to MIT. Harvest has a wide selection of pre-packaged, easy-to-prepare vegetarian and vegan foods, and membership is not required to shop there. They also have an excellent bulk section, including many different spices, which you can buy in any quantity from a pinch to a pound or more.\n581 Massachusetts Avenue (Central Square)\nT: Central Square\nHours: Mon-Sun 9 a.m.-9 p.m.\nBread and Circus is a national chain of whole and natural food supermarkets. It offers excellent produce and organically grown foods, as well as a variety of eco-friendly household and personal care products, very similar to Harvest Co-op.\n115 Prospect Street, between Massachusetts Avenue and Harvard Street\nHours: Mon-Sat 9 a.m.-10 p.m.\nAlthough it is a regular chain supermarket, Star offers a rather large selection of health/vegetarian foods in its Wild Harvest section. Organic produce is also available sometimes, but the selection is usually very limited. The closest one to MIT (address below) does carry Wild Harvest products, as does the one at Porter Square, but not all Star Markets offer Wild Harvest selections.\n20 Sidney Street, next to University Park Plaza, off of Massachusetts Avenue\nHours: Mon-Sun 7 a.m.-Midnight\nK2 Caf\u00c9\nThis restaurant offers by far the most variety of vegetarian and vegan foods available near Kendall Square. There are numerous vegetarian wraps and sandwiches to choose from, and at least one of the soups offered daily is cooked using a vegetable-based broth. They also have a salad bar, pizza, and a large selection of smoothies to sample.\n290 Main Street (Kendall Square)\n617-583-7000 $6\nT: Kendall Square\nHours: Mon-Fri 10:30 a.m.-8 p.m.\nDelivery/Take Out Available\nBuddha's Delight (Vegan)\nThis restaurant is a vegan\u2019s paradise, where tofu, wheat gluten and bean curd are massaged and seasoned to approximate the taste of the \"chicken, steak, pork, and shrimp\" headings found on the menu. No animal products are used in the entr\u00c9es, and although condensed milk may be used in the desserts, coconut milk can be substituted. The food consists primarily of Vietnamese dishes, with the spring rolls and any of the vermicelli dishes being particularly good choices.\n3 Beach Street, 2nd Floor (Chinatown)\n617-451-2395 $10\nT: Chinatown or Downtown Crossing\nHours: Sun-Thu 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m.\nFri-Sat 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m.\nCountry Life Vegetarian Restaurant (Vegan)\nThe vegan buffet in this restaurant is spectacular, featuring a main homemade entr\u00c9e and sides that change daily. Call ahead to see what the menu is for the day, or visit them online at <http://members.aol.com/docvegan/ clife/> to view the menu for the month. Entr\u00c9es aside, the dessert bar is fantastic, with whipped soy cream, carob chips, and soft-serve frozen soycream. The restaurant can be a hassle to get to because of the Central Artery construction project, and the restaurant itself is laid out in a somewhat confusing manner, but the trip is absolutely worth it for the quality of the food.\n200 High Street (Financial District)\n617-951-2462 (Menu)\nLunch $7.50, Dinner $8.50, Brunch $10\nT: South Station or Government Center\nHours: Lunch: Mon-Fri 11:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m.\nDinner: Tue-Thu 5:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m.\nSunday Brunch: 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.\nTake Out/Catering Available\nMilk Street Caf\u00c9 (Vegetarian/Vegan)\nThis caf\u00c9 is a dairy kosher sandwich shop that offers a limited menu of excellent quality food which is served in very generous portions. The caf\u00c9 offers salads and soups, sometimes vegetarian, but not always. However, the caf\u00c9 does provide 13 different kinds of vegetarian sandwiches to choose from, such as Guacamole Passion, Venice Beach (cheese and vegetables), Middle Eastern Wrap (eggplant/hummus/tabbouleh), and South of the Border. For vegans, the caf\u00c9 offers the Portabella Fantasy sandwich, as well as any of the others, minus the cheese.\n50 Milk Street (Financial District)\n617-542-3663, $8\nT: Downtown Crossing\nHours: Mon-Fri 7 a.m.-3 p.m.\nHelmand (Afghani)\nThis restaurant offers hearty, highly seasoned cuisine that relies heavily on vegetable-based sauces and an accompaniment of baked rice. The flat bread is typically served hot out of the oven, and is accompanied by cilantro-vinegar, chili-tomato, and yogurt-mint. Vegetarians have many options, including the popular kaddo, consisting of baked sweet baby pumpkin topped with a garlicky yogurt sauce.\n143 First Street (by CambridgeSide Galleria)\n617-492-4646, $15\nT: Lechmere\nHours: Sun-Thu 5 p.m.-10 p.m.\nFri-Sat 5 p.m.-11 p.m.\nKing and I (Thai)\nThis is a great Thai restaurant that will substitute tofu for any meat in any dish. They also cook everything to order, and do not use chicken fat to cook their vegetables (unlike many oriental restaurants). The pad thai with tofu is particularly delicious.\n145 Charles Street (Beacon Hill)\nT: Charles/MGH\nHours: Mon-Thu 11:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m.\nFri-Sat 11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m.\nSun 5 p.m.-9:30 p.m.\nFire & Ice Improvisational Grill\n(Mongolian-style Barbeque Grill)\nThis is a fun restaurant for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Patrons chose the ingredients and sauces for their meal (there is a large variety of vegetarian/vegan ingredients), and then take the food to the open grill in the middle of the restaurant to be cooked. Vegetarians and vegans should be sure to take their food to the vegetarian section of the grill, where their meal is cooked separately from everyone else\u2019s. Best of all, the wait at the veggie section of the grill is usually much shorter than for the restaurant\u2019s other patrons.\n50 Church Street (Harvard Square)\nT: Harvard Square\n205 Berkeley (Back Bay)\nT: Arlington\nHours: Sun-Mon 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. (bar 1 a.m.)\nFri-Sat 11:30 a.m. to midnight (bar to 1 a.m.)\nThe Middle East Restaurant (Middle Eastern Food)\nLive music and concerts aside, the Middle East is also a great place to go for home-cooked vegetarian and vegan food. They have a large variety of delicious vegetarian/vegan fare, such as pumpkin kibby, grilled tofu kabob, lentil stew, and baked eggplant. All the food is made from scratch, and the hummus in particular is absolutely outstanding. In addition, Zu Zu Restaurant, the more upscale version of the Middle East restaurant which is located right next door, has a wonderful variety of vegetarian Middle Eastern appetizers.\nHours: Sun-Wed 11 a.m.-1 a.m.\nThu-Sat 11 a.m.-2 a.m.\nPicante Mexican Grill II (Mexican)\nThis restaurant offers authentic Mexican food, complete with an extensive salsa bar. Several excellent vegetarian entr\u00c9es are offered. The rice and beans are always vegetarian, and lard is never used to prepare any item on their menu. The fresh limeade is also a big hit.\nHours: Sun-Wed 11 a.m.-11 p.m.\nThu-Fri 11 a.m.-11:30 p.m.\nSat 10 a.m.-11:30 p.m.\nDelivery/Take Out/Catering Available\nAsmara Restaurant (Ethiopian and East African)\nThis restaurant is a lot of fun if you like to eat with your hands. Instead of a plate, the stews are served on a large, pancake-like bread called injera, which is set on top of a colorful woven basket-table. What makes the dining experience all the more interesting is that the bread is the only utensil, and is used to scoop up the stew. Many vegetarian and vegan stews are available, consisting primarily of legumes and greens.\nHours: Sun-Thu 11:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m.",

        "raw_content": "In which I draw a weird thing, do math, and make promises I intend to keep.\nOK nerds! Class is over, which means it\u2019s time to get down and dirty with some physics.\nLast time this post had something substantive in it, I discussed the kinetic energy of a rigid rotating body and I introduced a new concept called the moment of inertia. Today we\u2019ll do a couple of example problems and talk about how this all relates to gravitational potential energy. Sounds cool? Then let\u2019s roll.\nLet\u2019s do a quick example question on how to find the moment of inertia. Let\u2019s pretend that we\u2019ve built this weird thing consisting of three heavy disks and three lightweight struts. The disks weigh 0.30 kg, 0.10 kg, and 0.20 kg, and the strut lengths are 0.50 m, 0.30 m, and 0.40 m.\nI know that none of this makes sense, so here\u2019s a diagram of all the relevant information.\nIs that any better? I\u2019m not sure, but let\u2019s just go with it. You might be able to kind of make out that there is an axis in the middle of disk A. The other disks swing around disk A. It\u2019s like disk A is the sun and disks B and C are planets.\nDoes any of that make sense? Good. Then let\u2019s find the moment of inertia of this body about that axis.\nBecause the struts are lightweight, we\u2019ll consider them to be massless rods and the disks to be massive particles. By doing so we can use the definition of moment of inertia to find\u2026ugh\u2026the moment of inertia, I guess.\nRemember the definition of moment of inertia? Just add together the product of the masses of the particles and the square of the particle\u2019s distance from the axis of rotation. Since we\u2019re considering each individual disk to be an individual particle, and since we know the length of the struts, this will be easy. It\u2019s just a matter of plugging in the values.\nVoila! You\u2019ll notice that we just used the mass values from disks B and C and the distances from A to B and a to C. This is because disk A lies on the axis, so its distance to the axis is zero. That means that it would add nothing to the moment of inertia. You know, multiplying by zero and all. But that\u2019s how it\u2019s done.\nWe can do the same thing if we pretend that our weird contraption could swing around an axis going though disks B and C. In that situation, since B and C both lie on the axis, only disk A contributes to the moment of inertia. So our equation looks like this:\nCool, right? Let\u2019s go back to the first part of this question. We know the moment of inertia for this contraption we\u2019ve made when it swings about the axis in the middle of disk A. If we know the angular speed, we can figure out the kinetic energy.\nIf you\u2019ll remember, the equation we learned a couple of weeks ago for kinetic energy is the product of the moment of inertia and angular speed in radians, all divided by two. So what is the kinetic energy of our contraption when it has the angular speed of 4.0 rad/s? Let\u2019s find out by plugging in some values.\nAnd there you have it! Pretty easy, right?\nThis problem, however, just deals with kinetic energy. What do we do when we have to a body that is subject to gravitational potential energy? Let\u2019s pretend for a moment that we have a pulley that\u2019s lifting something. If the acceleration due to gravity is the same at all points on this body, then we can do the math as if all the mass is concentrated at the body\u2019s center of mass. If we take the y-axis to be vertically upward, then the gravitational potential energy turns out to be:\nIn this equation, y stands for the center of mass, and this equation holds true for all extended bodies, not just rigid bodies.\nOK, well, that\u2019s all I have for you today. Next week I\u2019ll probably try to explain something called the parallel-axis theorem. What is it? I don\u2019t know yet. You\u2019ll just have to come back next week.\nFeatured image credit: ninahale\nTags:gravitational potential energy,kinetic energy,moment of inertia,physics philes,rotational motion",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s been a tough season for Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) for many different reasons, but on Friday at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours the 2013 World Champion showed once more why he is one of the most revered riders on the paddock, topping FP2 and finishing second position in the combined Free Practice standings.\nWith the 33-year-old\u2019s future still unclear, the rider from Yorkshire shot out like a lightning bolt on the opening day in France, ending the practice sessions just two tenths of a second behind teammate Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team WorldSBK) and putting in consistent lap times around the 4.4 kilometre track.\nSykes, who currently sits fourth in the championship standings, was calm and composed from the get-go, something that the KRT rider believes helped him on Friday: \u201cI just felt a little clearer today, things were coming much easier. The bike was working well, very consistent, I\u2019m really happy with the feedback. The third session was a little less consistent just because we had three items to get through, and now I feel we\u2019re ready for the racing tomorrow\u201d.\nComing off of two fifth positions at the previous round, Sykes believes that he can make a step forward now that his injury concerns are behind: \u201cIt\u2019s a massive difference. The change of direction is so much easier now. The ankle and ultimately the leg were weak in Portugal, it was a bit difficult getting out of the sequence of hills and changes of direction. It\u2019s a night and day difference, and I think we\u2019ll only get better and feeling better on the bike\u201d.\nCan the Yorkshireman grab his second win of 2018 at the Acerbis French Round?

        "raw_content": "Winter Olympics: Switzerland's Ammann sweeps ski jumps, again | The Honolulu Advertiser | Hawaii's Newspaper\nWinter Olympics: Switzerland's Ammann sweeps ski jumps, again\nWHISTLER, British Columbia \u2014 Switzerland's Simon Ammann is the first ski jumper to win four individual Olympic titles with his victory in the large hill event.\nStrapping on his disputed bindings again, Ammann flew past his main rivals, putting down the best jump in both rounds and staving off four Austrians who weren't happy about his equipment.\nPolish veteran Adam Malysz took silver, and Austrian 20-year-old Gregor Schlierenzauer took the bronze \u2014 the exact same finish as in the normal hill jump a week earlier.\nAmmann held a commanding lead after the first round with a jaw-dropping 144-meter effort \u2014 seven meters farther than Malysz. Focused on a good landing on his second jump, he soared 138 meters and nailed his landing for a total score of 283.6 points.\nMalysz had 269.4 points and Schlierenzauer 262.2.\n\"What can I say? I was so nervous up there,\" Ammann said. \"This is all very nerve-racking. I always have this magical force to jump far here, and that is amazing. This is truly amazing.\"\nHis rivals thought so, too.\n\"He jumped unbelievable,\" Malysz said.\nAfter sliding into the flat following his second jump, Ammann pumped his right fist and then pointed to the crowd at Whistler Olympic Park, then waited to see by how much he had won his fourth gold medal.\nAmmann also swept both individual events at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games as a brash 20-year-old, then had a disappointing performance in Turin. He bounced back a year later and has been among the best in his sport ever since.\n\"Simon is really amazing,\" Schlierenzauer said.\nMatti Nykanen of Finland also won four gold medals at the Winter Olympics, but one of them came in the team jump.\nThe International Ski Federation on Friday dismissed Austrian complaints that Ammann's bindings violated regulations and gave him an unfair edge, clearing him to keep using the equipment in Saturday's large hill event \u2014 and allowing him to keep his medal from the normal hill competition.\nNormal bindings use an elastic strap at the back to keep the boot in place. In the Swiss version, the boot is attached to a curved iron stick that bends forward as the jumper leans his body almost parallel to his skis.\nThe Austrians say the bindings help Ammann jump farther by improving his aerodynamics, and they asked the ski federation for a review. The Swiss, in turn, asked for a quick ruling, and FIS quickly determined that Ammann's equipment met regulations.\nAmmann said he never was worried that his binding would be disallowed, and Malysz suggested the Austrians were either jealous or playing psychological games with the World Cup leader.\nThe Austrians are the heavy favorites to win the team jump on Monday.\nThere was a tie for the final spot after the first jump, so 31 competitors instead of usual 30 advanced to the second round.\nFinland's Janne Ahonen, who came out of retirement in hopes of his first individual medal at the Olympics, crashed on his trial jump. After a disappointing 125-meter performance in the first round, he bypassed his second jump.\nPeter Frenette, of Saranac Lake, N.Y., finished 32nd.",

        "title": "Anti-Puritan: Alien versus human nature, and biological communism",
        "raw_content": "Alien versus human nature, and biological communism\nWhen humans set out to explore the galaxy in the future they are in for a real shock. In Star Trek most aliens are comprehensible to the human psyche. They have motives that are easily understood by us. Your typical Christian can't understand the Islamic mindset. Your typical liberal can't understand the conservative mindset. Aliens are going to have mental patterns that are far more bizarre than us. Humans struggle to even understand other humans; even our own ancestors are shunned. The past is a foreign country. But we can begin to construct a theory of mind for how an alien species might think using neoreactionary principles. After all, Moldbug teaches us that adaptive fictions are the basis of cultural and political beliefs. We can trace the upstream cause of power to its downstream effect in manufacturing ideology. We can also trace the upstream cause of a particular biological nature to its downstream effect in manufacturing economics and power systems.\nAfter all, humans are a social mammal species with capitalism. We are capitalistic because every member of a sex competes with every other member of that sex for reproductive access to the opposite sex. We have inequality because women are hypergamous and men are promiscuous. The hypergamy of women drives men to \"become worthy\" of sex through status competition games. The competition produces losers, war, and inequality as an inevitable byproduct. After all, the average women only wants the \"best\" male. In a room of ten men this means one out of ten; in a room of a hundred this means one out of a hundred. Thus, there are nine, or ninety-nine losers respectively. This is where the \"one-percent\" comes from. It is why one percent of men own ninety-nine percent of the wealth. (Not that I care) And it is why liberating female sexuality gives you more inequality rather than less. It is why we went from a 30/70 society to a 1/99 society. (Or at least that's the theory). The collapse of traditional morality was the collapse of sexual socialism. This violently ramped up the competition between men, while simultaneously increasing the percentage of men who are failures at reproduction. Result: no flying cars, no return to the moon, technological stagnation. A highly sexually competitive society does not maximize the talents of its beta males. And without that talent technology stagnates in relative terms, and inequality worsens.\nIn a semi-monogamous species of mammals the economic system is going to be a highly unequal form of capitalism. Sexual competition translates into economic inequality.\nIn a fully monogamous species it will be a form of mutualism. We can conceive of an alien species that is one-hundred percent monogamous. It will likely have a market economy, but instead of having privately owned firms it will have worker owned co-opts. This is because the total absence of any incentive to mate with multiple women will give every member of the society the desire to maximize resources for their own offspring, and for no others. Thus, they will be naturally unwilling to allow any boss to take profits that could be invested in their children. Result: mutual economics.\nOn the other hand, a eusocial species will be biologically communistic in nature. Eusocial species are species like Naked Mole Rats (one of only three eusocial mammals on Earth), bees, wasps, ants, termites, etc. The behavior of such a species will make human racism look laughable. It will be communist, and it's communism will be limited to each hive. Between hives there may be a combination of market-based trade economics, genocidal warfare, and parasitical slavery. Such societies have a queen that reproduces all members. Psychologically, this means that they will have no concept of selfishness. Since the queens reproduction is the only basis for reproductive fitness of the society, all the individuals within it will have a psychological makeup that is incapable of thinking is self-centered terms. All the drones are sisters, and the whole society is a single family. There is a radical willingness of the members to attack anything outside their society. From a human perspective they will possess a totally irrational obsessive love of their hive and its queen, and a totally insane genocidal hate of any other species\u2014or even of any other hive.\nWe can imagine a planet of upright two-legged eusocial animals with language. Let us imagine, for the sake of simplicity, that they walk like humans and have opposable thumbs or some equivalent. Each of them is about 4 feet tall, and has the strength to carry a Volkswagen beetle on its back. They possess a diminished ability to feel pain since pain does not help the queen reproduce. Their language is a series of chirps that humans find practically indescribable. The queen is the size of a semi-truck trailer and they keep her safe underground. She is not sentient. All members of the society are female. Like humans they have an endoskeleton and not an exoskeleton. Like dogs, their eyes posses a second eyelid under the outside one. They have an offensive odor to humans and rarely bathe.\nHumans have make-believe. We practice our imaginations in childhood in preparation for the vastly more complex and abstract political and religious make-believe of adulthood. Make-believe evolved out of tribalism. Tribes that were cohesive believed in common myths, gods, etc. They out-competed and out-reproduced less religious peoples. Thus, the world is filled with religious humans. Things like money, gods, and equality are make-believe.\nSince eusocial aliens never evolved in a tribe they have no religion, no money, and no gods. They have no devotion to anything but their society. They have no words for these things in their (various) languages, but they have eight words for queen. They speak several thousand languages on their planet, with no dominant one, but certain dialects are common. Because the size of each society is limited to the number of offspring each queen can produce, their are very few societies / nations bigger than the size of the average large county in the US. As a result the planet has 25,000 nations. Each nation speaks its own language, but because of hereditary lineage there are only 15 major dialects. A hive is a nation and a nation is a hive. There is no distinction.\nLong ago one or two hives mastered the art of enslaving others. This is a parasitical relationship rooted in biology similar to the behavior of slave-making ants. They capture the queen of another hive and force her, and the workers to serve them. As a result there are three or four \"empires\" on the planet controlled by a larger, and stronger bipedal eusocial species. They are about seven feet tall.\nEconomics consists of trade between nations, empires, and within empires. Since they do not have capitalism they do not develop new technologies very quickly. But they have been evolving and developing for hundreds of thousands of years, and their technology is still more advanced than ours.\nWhat is important to realize about such a species is that it will have no concept of human rights, no regard for the lives of outsiders, no selfish desire to trade with you, no religion, and no money. And yet the social structure of such a species could allow it to achieve high technology, and space faring ability. It's various enslaved subspecies might form warrior castes, economic castes, etc. It could achieve a kind of insanely xenophobic communist empire of slavery spanning multiple worlds. Humans would come across this species and try to make friends. They would project human motives, intentions, values, onto the aliens. They would say, \"can't we just all get along?,\" when the appropriate response should be, \"kill it with nuclear fire.\" In real life Ender (from Ender's Game) would be the greatest traitor/cuck to the human species that ever lived. When humans come across another intelligent species the first thing they will need to do is to understand their psychology, economics, culture, etc. The way to do that is to use biology as your starting point. Culture may be downstream from power, but power and economics are downstream from biology.\nA species of bisexuals will have a different economic system that a species of mostly heterosexuals. Imagine what Bonobo economics would look like. It will probably be socialist.\nA completely monogamous species will have a more mutualist economics.\nA eusocial species will be dangerous.\nSome of these species we might be able to work with. Others would have to be either completely avoided or totally destroyed.",

        "title": "How video can help police \u2013 and the public",
        "raw_content": "How video can help police \u2013 and the public\nMary Angela Bock, University of Texas at Austin\nAssistant Professor of Journalism, University of Texas at Austin\nMary Angela Bock receives funding from the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication organisation and has received past support from the Dechert Foundation. She is affiliated with the National Press Photographers Association.\nThe police accountability, or cop-watching, movement includes activists who go out on regular patrols to videotape arrests. Mary Angela Bock, Author provided\nWith three billion camera-equipped cellphones in circulation, we are awash in visual information. Cameras are lighter, smaller and cheaper than ever and they\u2019re everywhere, making it possible for nearly anyone to watch, create, share and video.\nOne of the most dramatic ways camera proliferation is changing our lives is in the area of law enforcement. Dashcams have been around for years and are increasingly popular. President Obama called for local departments to start equipping officers with badge cams. Citizens, too, have cameras, usually in their smartphones, but increasingly on their own dashboards. Yet even with all this footage, we are often in the dark about what really happens during police encounters.\nFor the past three years I\u2019ve been studying the police accountability movement and the role that video has played in fueling activism by citizens concerned about criminal justice policies in their communities. \u201cCop-watching,\u201d as it\u2019s known informally, cannot be understood without also studying the way the law enforcement community uses video. As a result, my work has taken me to courtrooms, police stations and city streets where citizens and police are watching each other through their camera lenses.\nMultiple perspectives, one timeline\nA recent research project I conducted with my husband, David Alan Schneider, showed how this worked in a courtroom. We examined the way video evidence played out in a criminal courtroom. On January 1, 2012, as a woman under arrest by Austin, Texas, police called for help, an Iraq War veteran turned activist, Antonio Buehler, pulled his phone out to photograph the scene. He ended up getting arrested himself, and put on trial for allegedly interfering with police work.\nThe jury watched three videos and listened to multiple versions of what happened that night: police alleged that Buehler lunged at them menacingly; he argued that he was the one assaulted. Another bystander, across the street, had filmed the scene, too, showing officers throwing Buehler to the ground. Police dashcam video showed part of the start of the woman\u2019s drunk-driving arrest and included some of the audio. A surveillance camera from the nearby convenience store bore silent witness and showed where Buehler\u2019s car was in relation to the rest of the action.\nThree videos, three narratives, but time passes along only one line. By incorporating the other evidence into what they saw, and tying everything to that one timeline, the jury came up with yet another, constructed narrative, acquitting Buehler.\nThe famous Rodney King case in 1991 that acquitted four officers and sparked riots in Los Angeles shows just how important the timeline is to our ideas of reality and truth. When the video is played in real time, the scene is devastating; officers are seen swarming the truck driver and striking him swiftly and repeatedly.\nBut defense attorneys for the officers never played the video straight through; instead they stopped and started it second by second. With the images taken out of context and isolated from the timeline, the moments shown seemed more defensible. The jury, left with competing narratives and a set of images detached from the timeline, found in favor of the officers.\nThe full video of the Rodney King beating.\nDocumenting police work\nVideo\u2019s combination of timeline with visual information has significant implications for the current debate about badge-cams, dash-cams and cop-watching. When it comes to really figuring out what happened, more cameras are helpful; multiple perspectives tied to the timeline present a narrative that better mimics the way we move through the world. We don\u2019t stand in one place, like a surveillance camera, nor do we hold our focus on one spot. We look close, we scan and move. For the sake of really understanding an event, the more video, the better.\nFrom a public policy perspective, this is expensive and complicated. Much depends on who controls the cameras and the resulting videos. Dashcams only show what was in front of the car. Like most of the video from the drunk-driving arrest in Buehler\u2019s case, the confrontation between Sandra Bland and a Texas police officer happened outside the camera\u2019s range. Badge-cams can show what was in front of an officer, but they come with a long list of other considerations: privacy for certain kinds of crime victims and the officers themselves; protocols for when and how to turn them on and off; storage and distribution procedures for the millions of hours of video they will eventually collect.\nCitizen videos have provided some of the most dramatic and troubling evidence of police misconduct, but by nature are happenstance and the result of being on location at a particular moment. Based on my own research, it\u2019s clear that cop-watching video only captures events of note once in a while; their work is most effective as a preventative. This \u201csousveillance\u201d movement is conceived as a way for the public to monitor and keep a check on power, serving as a sort of democratized fourth estate.\nDo cameras lie?\nMy interest in video has grown out of my first career as a TV journalist and a lifelong interest in how photography conveys reality, which is not nearly as simple as it seems. True, cameras perfectly capture the light waves from a scene in front of them in ways that we could never duplicate by drawing or painting. Cameras can provide extraordinary evidence, which is why police and crime scene investigators document everything, why journalists use cameras as documentary tools, and why citizen journalists are able to gain credibility for their own investigations.\nYet anyone who\u2019s ever looked at photos someone else took of them at the party last weekend and thought to themselves \u201cI don\u2019t look like that!\u201d can relate to the way a camera distorts and flattens a scene. There\u2019s much more, though: Consider the way photographers work, using their own bodies to capture a particular perspective, with lenses that do what our eyes cannot, framing a scene in a way that captures certain elements but not others. Those are just some of the decisions that happen before the darkroom or Photoshop stage, when images are cropped, enhanced and sometimes distorted in misleading ways.\nThen there are the ways our brains mislead us, because images work differently in our heads than language does. Pictures seem to take a faster highway, metaphorically speaking, inspiring emotional responses faster than language and its logical reasoning. They seem to work in our memories differently than words do. Add to this the way photographic images feel real, and it becomes easier to understand why images can be very convincing even when we know we\u2019re being manipulated by special effects in a movie or an ad that shows a cupcake that\u2019s simply too perfect to be true \u2013 but now we\u2019re hungry.\nVideo offers up its own set of real and unreal characteristics. We\u2019ve all seen the way editing can change the nature of a soundbite or a TV story; the now-discredited attack video about Planned Parenthood is a perfect example of how scenes can be deliberately distorted. Yet unedited, raw video, while subject to all the limitations of cameras generally, usually adds not just images but also audio to the timeline. Still images offer up a form of visual reality. Raw, unedited video shows us what happened in what order \u2013 and that means it provides its own version of a story.\nUn-edited, raw video is a \u201ctriple threat\u201d for public safety. It has the visual presence of photography; the power of language in its audio; and the ultimate, unyielding evidence offered by the timeline. The public must demand transparency and input for the way police and any other branch of government creates, stores and distributes it. The public must exercise its right to video police and other public servants working in public spaces. Cameras may not lie, but people do all the time. While it\u2019s not infallible, video offers an invaluable way to find the truth.\nEditor\u2019s note: an earlier version of this article mistakenly identified Antonio Buehler as a veteran of the war in Afghanistan.

        "raw_content": "Companies increasing focus on employees\u2019 emotional, financial health\nThe study concluded that this year over 80 per cent of the organisations have taken at least one action in health risks or condition management, weight management, physical activity and nutrition and managing employee stress and mental health\nTo increase productivity, more and more companies in India are beginning to take a holistic view of their employees\u2019 health and wellness, which also includes emotional and financial well-being, a study said. The India Health and Well-Being Study 2018 by Willis Towers Watson found that this year over 80 per cent of the organisations have taken at least one action in health risks or condition management, weight management, physical activity and nutrition and managing employee stress and mental health.\nWhile 61 per cent have taken at least one action to improve the financial well-being of employees in 2018, it is a concern that almost half of the surveyed organisations still do not have a formally articulated health and well-being strategy, it said. The study was conducted by the global advisory, broking and solutions company during June to August 2018 and polled over 100 organisations and senior human resource leaders from multiple sectors.\nA majority 66 percent of employers have already taken, or will take steps in the next three years to develop a mental health strategy, the survey said, adding 59 per cent are planning to offer programmes to support chronic behavioural health conditions, which is currently offered by only 8 per cent of employers.\nSimilarly, 63 per cent already have or are developing a strategy to improve financial well-being and 13 per cent are considering it in three years\u2019 time. Towards this, 50 per cent companies are planning to deliver customised or personalised messages to help improve financial planning as compared to only 6 percent at present.\nWillis Towers Watson head of India Rohit Jain said while it is encouraging to observe this increased focus on employee health and wellness, firms must develop a coherent and holistic health and wellness strategy encompassing all four aspects physical, emotional, financial and family - to translate this into all round well-being, enhanced productivity and ultimately improved financial performance.\nThe number of employers recognising the role of family in the overall well-being of an employee and in turn their productivity is noteworthy, he said.\nSome of the initiatives include inviting family members to participate in various programmes and activities (27 per cent) organised by firms, focusing communication to reach or involve family members (24 per cent) and redesigning employee assistance programmes to better address emotional and financial well-being for employees and dependents (44 per cent), according to the study.",

        "raw_content": "Home News Facebook Keeps Secret Files on EVERYONE Including Non-Users \u2013 Here\u2019s How to...\nEven if you do not have a Facebook account and have never visited the domain, Facebook is still tracking you and they are keeping all this intimate information entirely secret.\nIt is no secret that Facebook has long exploited its user base, kept a trove of data on them, and is essentially an intimate and personal database on 1.4 billion people ripe for the picking of the surveillance state. The insidious nature of Facebook has discouraged many people from using it and is causing millions of users to delete their accounts. However, what many people do not know is that you don\u2019t even need an account for Facebook to spy on you and mine your most intimate data.\nEven if you have never had a Facebook account, this social media leviathan uses online tracking devices that follow a user\u2019s internet activity via third-parties and you never have to visit Facebook for it to happen.\nWhile Facebook has become an everyday part of life for hundreds of millions of people across the world, many of those active on the platform are blissfully unaware of the vast amounts of personal data the company aggregates about them. So, why would anyone who has never visited the domain need to worry about Facebook spying on them? Well, the answer to that question is data.\nWith data becoming one of the greatest resources for business in the modern era, individuals are increasingly becoming more concerned about exactly what type of information can be found about them in cyberspace \u2013 and on Facebook in particular.\nWhile people are offered a range of privacy setting options to choose from when posting on Facebook, many are completely unaware that they have the ability to customize the privacy settings on the information they share.\nThis can create a dynamic where your personal information is easily preyed upon by strangers, advertisers, and criminals alike. And, you don\u2019t need a Facebook page to be a target.\nAs a report from the Daily Mail notes:\nEven if you have never entered the Facebook domain, the company is still able to follow your browsing behavior without you knowing it. More than 10,000 websites contain invisible trackers, called Pixels, which record information about visitors. This includes everything from the operating system you use to your IP address and activities on the website during a session. This gives the firm insights into everything from where you are in the world, who your internet service provider is, the types of sites you like to visit and how long you spend on them.\nIt has now been over a decade that Facebook has been mining data on billions of people and for the first time in our history, a private company has been meticulously gathering, storing, analyzing, and selling data on entire populations for more than ten years.\nAs The Free Thought Project previously reported, if you have a Facebook profile, you can download it to see the insane amount of data this company has on you.\nEven if you are okay with Facebook creepily storing all of your data\u2014forever\u2014other people, outside of the social media platform have access to this data as well.\nFortunately, there\u2019s a way to determine exactly how much of the information you share on Facebook is publicly accessible.\nA simple tool made by Supremo now allows you to see exactly what personal data you have shared with strangers on Facebook.\nThe Supremo website presciently warns:\nHi there! Did you know that every single time you visit a website, you reveal information about yourself simply by visitingSimilarly, websites that allow you to log in via Facebook could be collecting all kinds of information if you haven\u2019t properly checked the permissions you\u2019re granting.\nIronically, the tool asks for permission to access your personal information on Facebook. However, the company notes that the \u201cinformation we\u2019ve gathered will be completely removed from our records but there are more malicious uses of your personal information potentially.\u201d\nWhile Facebook users can see what this data collection company has been storing on them, non-users are left out in the cold. The privacy of internet users tracked via third-party is mostly secret and there is currently no way of seeing what Facebook knows about you.\nHowever, you can still block Facebook from following you around the web.\nIf you use Google Chrome, you can do the following.\nNext to \u201cBlock,\u201d \u201cClear on exit,\u201d or \u201cAllow,\u201d click Add.\nYou can also put an IP address or a web address that doesn\u2019t start with https://.\nThe good news is, as the New Zealand Herald reports, people are getting wise to this and \u201cearlier this month Belgium ordered Facebook to stop tracking internet users who have no accounts with the social network, or face fines of 250,000 euros a day.\u201d\nAustralia is also getting in on the action and the federal government has ordered the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) to investigate the big tech giants in what ACCC chairman Rodd Sims said will be the broadest inquiry of its type in the world, according to the Herald.\nThe ACCC\u2019s inquiry will involve asking consumers how much they think the digital platforms know about them and comparing that to what is in fact being gathered.\n\u201cSome people have asserted that consumers know what\u2019s going on and don\u2019t care,\u201d Mr Sims said last week.\n\u201cI think it\u2019s absolutely crucial we find out what consumers do know and then let\u2019s see whether they care. My suspicion is Facebook and Google have much more personal information about people than people realize.\u201d\nHowever, it is still fair game for Mark Zuckerberg to creepily follow you around online in the United States. No wonder so many people online call it Fedbook.",

        "raw_content": "The Info List - Homeland For The Jewish People\nA homeland for the Jewish people is an idea rooted in Jewish culture and religion. In the early 19th century, the Napoleonic Wars\nNapoleonic Wars led to the idea of Jewish emancipation.[1] This unleashed a number of religious and secular cultural streams and political philosophies among the Jews\nJews in Europe, covering everything from Marxism to Chassidism. Among these movements was Zionism\nZionism as promoted by Theodore Herzl.[2] In the late 19th century, Herzl set out his vision of a Jewish state and homeland for the Jewish people in his book Der Judenstaat. Herzl was later hailed by the Zionist political parties as the founding father of the State of Israel.[3][4][5] In the Balfour Declaration\nBalfour Declaration of 1917, the United Kingdom became the first world power to endorse the establishment in Palestine of a \"national home for the Jewish people.\" The British government confirmed this commitment by accepting the British Mandate for Palestine in 1922 (along with their colonial control of the Pirate Coast, Southern Coast of Persia, Iraq and from 1922 a separate area called Transjordan, all of the Middle-Eastern territory except the French territory). The European powers mandated the creation of a Jewish homeland at the San Remo conference\nSan Remo conference of 19\u201326 April 1920.[6] In 1948, the State of Israel\nState of Israel was established.\n1.1 Relation to Zionism 1.2 Other possibilities\n2 Moves to statehood 3 Founding of the State 4 Jewish state or a state of Jews? 5 See also 6 References 7 External links\nHistory The Jewish aspiration to return to Zion\nZion is part of Jewish religious thought that dates back to the destruction of the First Temple.[7] However, the modern movement for the creation of a secular homeland within the confines of modern international law was perceived as a solution to the widespread persecution of Jews\nJews within Europe. This became the centerpiece of secular political Zionism. Anti-Semitism was not limited to Europe. The Zionist movement was preceded by several Jewish groups that had already popularized the move to Israel. For example, Israel\nIsrael ben Pere\u1e93 of Polotsk[8] and hundreds of other Jewish groups settled in Israel\nIsrael from Europe, developing communities in Jerusalem, Hebron and around much of the country. This was in addition to the already existing communities of Sephardi and Ashkenazim in Tiberias, Tsfat and across the rest of the Jewish \"Holy Land\". Zionists, however, worked within the existing international legal framework, obtaining international legal rights in 1922. They also armed and defended themselves. The modern legal attempts to establish a national homeland for the Jewish people began in 1839 with a petition by Sir Moses Montefiore\nSir Moses Montefiore to Sa'id, Khedive of Egypt, for a Jewish homeland in the region of Palestine. Relation to Zionism\nPromised Land Gathering of Israel Diaspora\nHomeland for the Jewish people Zionism Jewish question Law of Return\nReturn to Zion Old Yishuv Perushim\nFirst Second during World War I Third Fourth Fifth Aliyah\nAliyah Bet Bricha from Muslim countries\nYemen Iraq Morocco Lebanon\nfrom Ethiopia from Latin America\nUlpan Hebraization of surnames\nKibbutz Youth village Immigrant camps Ma'abarot Development town Austerity\nWorld Zionist Organization Jewish National Fund Jewish Agency for Israel Youth Aliyah Mossad Le Aliyah\nAliyah Bet El Al Ministry of Immigrant Absorption Nefesh B'Nefesh Am Yisrael Foundation\nYishuv Sabra Yerida Jewish refugees History of the Jews\nJews in the Land of Israel Demographic history of Palestine (region) Historical Jewish population comparisons Yom HaAliyah\nThe book Der Judenstaat\nDer Judenstaat (The Jewish State, 1896) by Theodor Herzl\nIn 1896, Theodore Herzl\nTheodore Herzl set out his vision of a Jewish state and homeland for the Jewish people in his book Der Judenstaat.[9] He then proceeded to found the Zionist Organisation. The draft of the objective of the modern Zionist movement submitted to the First Zionist Congress\nFirst Zionist Congress of the Zionist Organization\nZionist Organization in 1897 read: \" Zionism\nZionism seeks to establish a home for the Jewish people in Palestine secured under public law.\" One delegate sought to insert the phrase \"by international law\",[10] which was opposed by others. A compromise formula was adopted, which came to be known as the Basel program, and read:\nZionism aims at establishing for the Jewish people a publicly and legally assured home in Palestine.[11]\nThe Sykes\u2013Picot Agreement\nSykes\u2013Picot Agreement of 16 May 1916 set aside the region of Palestine for \"international administration\" under British control.[12] The first official use of the phrase \"national home for the Jewish people\" was in the Balfour Declaration\nBalfour Declaration of 1917, the final version of which referred to:\nthe establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.\nThe phrase \"national home\" was intentionally used instead of \"state\" because of opposition to the Zionist program within the British Cabinet. The initial draft of the declaration referred to the principle \"that Palestine should be reconstituted as the National Home of the Jewish people.\"[13] In 1919 the general secretary (and future President) of the Zionist Organization, Nahum Sokolow, published a History of Zionism (1600\u20131918)[14] He also represented the Zionist Organization\nZionist Organization at the Paris Peace Conference. He explained:\nThe object of Zionism\nZionism is to establish for the Jewish people a home in Palestine secured by public law. \"... It has been said and is still being obstinately repeated by anti-Zionists again and again, that Zionism\nZionism aims at the creation of an independent \"Jewish State\" But this is wholly fallacious. The \"Jewish State\" was never part of the Zionist programme. The Jewish State was the title of Herzl's first pamphlet, which had the supreme merit of forcing people to think. This pamphlet was followed by the first Zionist Congress, which accepted the Basle programme \u2013 the only programme in existence.\"[15]\nBritain officially committed itself to the objective set out in the Balfour Declaration\nBalfour Declaration by insisting on its forming the basis of the Mandate of Palestine\nMandate of Palestine (which it could have avoided), which was formally approved by the League of Nations\nLeague of Nations in June 1922, and which formalised British rule in Palestine which had started in 1917. The preamble of the Mandate declared:\nWhereas the Principal Allied Powers have also agreed that the Mandatory should be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on 2 November 1917, by the Government of His Britannic Majesty, and adopted by the said Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people...[16]\nOther possibilities Main article: Proposals for a Jewish state After a wave of pogroms in Russia, Joseph Chamberlain\nJoseph Chamberlain offered Theodor Herzl the establishment of a Jewish state in Uganda, East Africa.[17] In 1903 Herzl presented the British Uganda Programm at the Sixth Zionist Congress in Basel.[18] The Jewish Autonomous Oblast, set up in the Russian Far East\nRussian Far East in 1934, represented a Soviet approach to providing a Jewish homeland. In the late 1930s, the British Zionist League considered a number of other places where a Jewish homeland could be established. The Kimberley region in Australia was considered until the Curtin government (in office 1941\u201345) rejected the possibility.[19] With the support of the then Premier of Tasmania, Robert Cosgrove (in office from 1939), Critchley Parker proposed a Jewish settlement at Port Davey, in south west Tasmania.[20] Parker surveyed the area, but his death in 1942 put an end to the idea. Moves to statehood In 1942, the Biltmore Program was adopted as the platform of the Zionist Organization, with an explicit call \"that Palestine be established as a Jewish Commonwealth.\" In 1946, the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, also known as the Grady-Morrison Committee, noted that the demand for a Jewish State went beyond the obligations of either the Balfour Declaration\nBalfour Declaration or the Mandate and had been expressly disowned by the Chairman of the Jewish Agency as recently as 1932.[21] The United Nations Special\nSpecial Committee on Palestine said the Jewish National Home, which derived from the formulation of Zionist aspirations in the 1897 Basle program has provoked many discussions concerning its meaning, scope and legal character, especially since it had no known legal connotation and there are no precedents in international law for its interpretation. It was used in the Balfour Declaration and in the Mandate, both of which promised the establishment of a \"Jewish National Home\" without, however, defining its meaning. A statement on \"British Policy in Palestine,\" issued on 3 June 1922 by the Colonial Office, placed a restrictive construction upon the Balfour Declaration. The statement excluded \"the disappearance or subordination of the Arabic population, language or customs in Palestine\" or \"the imposition of Jewish nationality upon the inhabitants of Palestine as a whole\", and made it clear that in the eyes of the mandatory Power, the Jewish National Home was to be founded in Palestine and not that Palestine as a whole was to be converted into a Jewish National Home. The Committee noted that the construction, which restricted considerably the scope of the National Home, was made prior to the confirmation of the Mandate by the Council of the League of Nations\nLeague of Nations and was formally accepted at the time by the Executive of the Zionist Organization.[22] The Partition Resolution of the UN General Assembly died at birth when rejected by the Arabs. The UNGA has only the power to recommend. In 1919 Harry Sacher wrote \"A Jewish Palestine the Jewish case for a British trusteeship. In 1920 at San Remo the Allied Principal war powers selected this method. The Palestine Mandate is the trust agreement. Evidence of the intention of the settlors of the trust shows it was their intent to permit the Jews\nJews to settle immediately but not to rule until the defined territory contained a Jewish population majority and the capability to exercise sovereignty. Such evidence is the lodestar of the interpretation of the trust. Legal dominion in the collective political rights to self-determination vested in the Jewish People, the trust beneficiary, partly in 1948 and partly in 1967. Founding of the State The concept of a national homeland for the Jewish people in the British Mandate of Palestine\nMandate of Palestine was enshrined in Israeli national policy and reflected in many of Israel's public and national institutions. The concept was expressed in the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel\nState of Israel on 14 May 1948 and given concrete expression in the Law of Return, passed by the Knesset\nKnesset on 5 July 1950, which declared: \"Every Jew\nJew has the right to come to this country as an oleh.\"[23] This was extended in 1970 to include non- Jews\nJews with a Jewish grandparent, and their spouses. These declarations were widely condemned and considered racist by Palestinians.[citation needed] While nowadays the concept of a Jewish homeland means almost always the State of Israel\nState of Israel under some variation of its current borders, in the course of Jewish history\nJewish history after ancient Israel\nIsrael and Judah there have been other proposals. While some of those have come into existence, others never came to be implemented. Jewish state or a state of Jews? See also: Jewish state\nThere has been ongoing debate in Israel\nIsrael on the character of the state, regarding whether it should enshrine more Jewish culture, encourage Judaism\nJudaism in schools, and enshrine certain laws of Kashrut\nKashrut and Shabbat observance. This debate reflects a historical divide within Zionism and among the Jewish citizens of Israel, which has large secular and traditional/Orthodox minorities as well as a majority of people who lie somewhere in between. Secular Zionism, the historically dominant stream, is rooted in a concept of the Jews\nJews as a people that have a right to self-determination. Another reason sometimes submitted for such establishment was to have a state where Jews\nJews would not be afraid of antisemitic attacks and live in peace. But such a reason is not a requirement of the self-determination right and so is subsidiary to it in secular Zionist thinking. Religious Zionists, who believe that religious beliefs and traditional practices are central to Jewish peoplehood, counter that assimilating to be a secular \"nation like any other\" would be oxymoronic in nature, and harm more than help the Jewish people. They seek instead to establish what they see as an \"authentic Jewish commonwealth\" which preserves and encourages Jewish heritage.[citation needed] Drawing an analogy to diaspora Jews\nJews who assimilated into other cultures and abandoned Jewish culture, whether voluntary or otherwise, they argue that the creation of a secular state in Israel\nIsrael is tantamount to establishing a state where Jews\nJews assimilate en masse as a nation, and therefore anathema to what they view as Jewish national aspirations. Zionism\nZionism is rooted in a concept of the Jews\nJews as a nation, in this capacity, they believe that Israel\nIsrael has a mandate to promote Judaism, to be the center of Jewish culture\nJewish culture and center of its population, perhaps even the sole legitimate representative of Jews worldwide.[citation needed] Partisans of the first view are predominantly, though by no means exclusively, secular or less traditional. Partisans of the second view are almost exclusively traditional or Orthodox, although they also include supporters who follow other streams of Judaism\nJudaism or are less traditional but conservative and would not object to a more prominent state role in promoting Jewish beliefs \u2013 although not to the point of creating a purely Halachic state. The debate is therefore characterised by significant polarities. Secular and religious Zionists argue passionately about what a Jewish state should represent. Post-Zionists and Zionists argue about whether a Jewish state should exist at all. Because Israel\nIsrael was created within the sphere of international law as the instrument for Jewish self-determination, these polarities are captured by the questions Should Israel\nIsrael maintain and strengthen its status as a state for the Jewish people, or become a state purely for \"all of its citizens\", or identify as both? And, if both, how to resolve any tensions that arise from their coexistence. To date, Israel\nIsrael has steered a course between secularism and Jewish identity, usually depending on who controls the Israeli High Court of Justice. On 19 November 2008, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni\nTzipi Livni addressed the United Jewish Communities\nUnited Jewish Communities General Assembly in Jerusalem. In her speech, she argued: \"These two goals of Israel\nIsrael as a Jewish and a democratic state must coexist and not contradict each other. So, what does that mean, a Jewish state? It is not only a matter of the number of Jews\nJews who live in Israel. It is not just a matter of numbers but a matter of values. The Jewish state is a matter of values, but it is not just a matter of religion, it is also a matter of nationality. And a Jewish state is not a monopoly of rabbis. It is not. It is about the nature of the State of Israel. It is about Jewish tradition. It is about Jewish history, regardless of the question of what each and every Israeli citizen does in his own home on Saturdays and what he does on the Jewish holidays. We need to maintain the nature of the State of Israel, the character of the State of Israel, because this is the raison d'etre of the State of Israel.\"[24] See also\nProposals for a Jewish state Jewish Autonomous Oblast Jewish and democratic state Jewish state Land of Israel\nLand of Israel / Palestine History of Israel\nHistory of Israel / History of the Palestinian people Binational solution Jewish Agency for Israel 1947 UN Partition Plan Christian Zionism\n^ Napoleon and the Jews: Ben Weider, CM, PhD: Conference given at: International Congress of the International Napoleonic Society Allessandria, Italy June 21\u201326, 1997 ^ William Bridgwater, editor-in-chief and focused on a homeland for Jews.

Sasore is alleged to have the backing of Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola.\nSolomon\u2019s bid has also received a boost as two aspirants stepped down for him to emerge as consensus candidate from Ikorodu Division.\nSolomon is banking on his grassroots popularity to clinch the ticket.\nHamzat, on his part, is said to be relying on his experience, which has seen him work closely with former governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as well as Fashola.\nMeanwhile, the chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) upstaging the APC in Lagos in the governorship election took a dip on Saturday as six stalwarts of the party defected to the APC with thousands of their supporters.\nAmong them are former Lagos State Deputy Governor, Rafiu Jafojo, and former chairman of the Nigeria Medical Association in the state, Abayomi Finnih, as well as Tunde Daramola, a former financial secretary of the PDP in the state, Mrs. Oluwole, Alhaji Okanlawon and Segun Adeyemi.",

Relmada Therapeutics is a clinical stage company that develops new therapies for chronic pain. Their principal investment company was Laidlaw for quite some time, but Laidlaw did a series of bad moves, so the company decided to file a complaint against them. It seems like Laidlaw disclosed a lot of confidential and false information to potential clients of Relmada Therapeutics. This caused the company to lose clients and it also caused them to lose a lot monetarily. Because of that, Relmada Therapeutics decided that they were going to seek monetary damages.\nFrom the article it does seem that Laidlaw has a long history of committing infractions against many of their clients. Their board of directors includes James Ahern and Matthew Eitner. They were not able to come to an agreement with Relmada Therapies, which may prove that they are not honest, but it could also prove that they are willing to stick by their defense. I am really not sure how to take the article, because there is really no clear cut way to find out if a company is honest or not.\nLaidlaw is a company that is a full service investment banking and brokerage firm. They are a company that offers personalized investment advice for companies. They are also a company that works with individuals that have a high net worth. Laidlaw is a company that was started 1842, and they have offices in Europe and the US.\nLaidlaw has over 150 employees around the world, and they are a company that has relationships with clients all around the world.

        "title": "Kunjarani, in a return flight from Imphal",
        "raw_content": "Kunjarani, in a return flight from Imphal\nEverybody has the experiences of something or the other during his/her trip to any place. Let\u2019s go back to a few weeks, months, or years and try to recollect and see if we can reproduce something out of those experiences. Sometimes, it\u2019s worth to spend a few minutes in trying to recollect and reproduce all again for sharing with others. Here is one of my stories (similar to the kind I wrote earlier of my onward journey) and this is produced out of the experiences I had in the process of my return trip from my home back to my institute. It carries a few different sub-stories like, one part is the story of my departure moments. Hope you like it.\nAfter an eventful stay at home, at Imphal, for nearly a month, I was all set for yet another return trip back to my institute, in the later part of the winter. Every time I have a departure from home, it has been a tearful and painful moment for me. One of the reasons is that most of the Meitei families, in general, have a closed joined family and people are not very used to the lifestyle of families having children staying at different places away from their parents, let alone having a single son or a child. It is even worse with those families where the older generations like grandparents perform the rituals of Meitei in a traditional and orthodox fashion quite regularly like utshop, laireek taba, kang/jhoolon pali pooba etc. Unfortunately my family happened to be in this bracket and hence I have a family bound in the background always (of course, every Meitei would have felt the same bound in some way or the other). Nonetheless, I try to convince these old generation people by saying that we need to change from our closed system of living together \u2018physically\u2019 and be more open to live outside in a more real world, with the family closeness kept as the technology and income improves. Well, they somehow feel convinced a bit, but not completely.\nBack to my own story, my mother prepares a pious meal -my last meal during my stay- made from the vegetables, rice and fruits which are offered to Sanamahi with pure devotion and prayers for the welfare of their only son. Luckily this time, the flight from Imphal to Calcutta was in the afternoon and hence it didn\u2019t give much problem to my mom, else she would have done everything getting up in the wee hours of the chilled and cold morning. When all set to go, there came the most tearful moment \u2013bidding bye to each member of the family. I wished each one with knees and forehead touching the ground and taking blessing for good health, and best of all. My grandpa\u2019s photo was there in a pillar looming large over me and smiling as if he was also wishing the same thing to me. As for the last obligation for a Meitei mother, my mom came to me and smelled my body as if a part of her soul is going to leave her for long, long time. I could not control myself and broke down. Meantime, there came a honk from the vehicle of my friend who would come to the airport to see me off, signaling that I better be in hurry. After making a final praying to the Sun God signified by the presence of a lantern, three oranges in a banana leaf \u2013cut into a circular disk-, and the fume of an incensed stick, I came out straight without even looking back to my house \u2013obliging the my grandma..\nWhen I reached the airport, my friend said that it had changed a lot. Yes, I said, a lot has been changed in the infrastructure. No, he said, a lot more change in the patterns of passengers and people who have come to see them off. He carried on saying over the years, many a Metei student and others used to go by flight. And one can visualize a clear picture of how the state has performed both economically and politically, just by observing the patterns of Indian Airlines passengers in the Imphal Airport bound for Calcutta and other destinations. There are not many Meiteis nowadays, let alone the students, who can afford to go by flight. One can feel that the flight looks like more of a few Meiteis in some other flight rather than other people in a Imphal flight bound for some other places \u2013a clear sign of slow economic growth. There have been a lot of Army officers, a lot of Mayang business persons \u2013a clear sign of avoiding the highways in fear of many DISTURBANCES, showing bad-ridden political situation of the state. Well, I was lucky to be still to be on the board, thanks to the concession of student\u2019s stipend. But I cannot say the same for the next year, thanks to my age which will cross the bar \u2013a condition to give concession. Once on board, I soon started reading news after news. Then I picked up the SWAGAT, a magazine for inflight passengers. Then there came the PROUD MOMENT which cleared all my minds that were absorbed in the discussions with my friend. Somewhere in the middle of the magazine, it wrote \u2013AN IRON WOMAN PUT INDIA IN THE WOLRD MAP OF SPORTS. The section carried an article on KUNJARANI !!!. It said\u2026.\nWhen Indian women took part in 1989 World Championship, Manchester, UK, many were skeptical about the women contingent saying it was a waste of money to send them. But surprised to their pessimism, the women came back with a haul of seven silver medals. And one woman called Kunjarani, a diminutive girl from a remote place, Manipur of the North-East of India had a major chunk, bringing three silvers alone. I looked down through the window of the plane and saw the sharp ridges of mountains and small serpentine rivulets, lush green hill-slopes covered with bamboo plants. Absolutely beautiful. Is the place still really remote?? The allied force and Japanese had a tough time crossing these ridges to occupy a valley called Imphal, an important battlefield to south-east Asia in the 2nd WW \u2013that they literally called \u2018hell of gate\u2019. Now, the place, 50 years hence, is still remote!!! NO, \u2018OTHER PEOPLE\u2019 MAKE IT REMOTE, I felt. I was lost some where with the word \u2018remote\u2019.\nBack to SWAGAT, that was the starting of Kunjarani\u2019s career in the international arena since the winning of three silvers. Since then, she has been able to occupy some space of the Indian Sports Media, which is absolutely exploited by the Indian Cricketers. When everyone thought she was finished, in 1997, with a knee operation, she came back with a bang hauling the National title at Chenai for the eight time. Later that year, she won two silvers in the Asian Chapionship. At the World Championship, Ching Mai, China, she crossed another land mark by winning silver in the 46th Kg class. But this girl is \u2018unfortunate\u2019, in her own standard, that the gold she dreams of in any World or Asian Championship eludes her time again and again, and because of that she is often known as \u2018Silver\u2019 woman. In 1993, she was unable to participate in the World Championship, as she failed to get visa in time. Well, the government, being forced to be aware of her brilliance by her performances, is supportive to some extent by giving her cash awards. Coming from a less than affluent family, Kunjarani manages her cash awards in both providing her diet and supporting her family as well.\nA FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM KUNJARANI\u2019S PERFORMANCE\n1. Won 47 medals in the World, Asian, and Commonwealth Championships \u2013a record unmatched in the annals of Indian Sports\n2.won 20 medals in Indian Sports and ranked 1st in the world in 1995, first time in the History of Indian Weightlifting Sports\n3. won 20 medals in World Championship alone \u2013even after missing two contests and is ranked among the top three/four lifters, of all time\n4. first Indian lifter to win gold in Asian Championship.",

        "raw_content": "Natural Chemical Found in Blue-Green Algae Can Destroy Cancer Cells\nPotent anti-cancer medicine fights brain and breast tumors that chemo can't treat!\n(NaturalNews) Scientists from Oregon State University have discovered that a compound found in algae can fight two of the most aggressive types of cancer out there: triple negative breast cancer and brain tumors. The findings were presented at the Experimental Biology 2016 meeting last month in San Diego.\nThe discovery was made by Oregon State's Dr. Kerry McPhail, who actually found the compound while scuba diving in the Coiba National Park in Panama eight years ago. She collected the blue-green algae known as cyanobacteria on the dive, and found that it contained at least three different species of algae that grow on rocks situated in fast-moving water.\nBlue-green algae contains a compound known as coibamide A, and it turns out that it can prevent cancer cells from communicating with blood vessels and other types of cells, thereby killing the diseased cells.\nAfter isolating the compound coibamide A, Dr. McPhail screened it for anti-cancer activity and discovered a novel pattern that sets it apart from every known type of treatment currently available.\nMarine environments still largely unexplored for medicinal purposes\nThe study's lead author, Dr. Jane Ishmael, acknowledged that nature has always been a source for drug design, but emphasized that marine environments are still a largely unexplored frontier.\nShe said: \"We think that with this compound, nature has already found a way to target some of the specific proteins that are relevant to the growth of tumors.\"\nThe discovery could lead to the development of new treatments to help fight these aggressive cancers and save lives. While the compound has demonstrated the ability to kill off a number of different cancer cells, the scientists said they wanted to focus on the types that do not currently have good pharmacological treatment options.\nGlioblastomas have traditionally been very difficult to treat because they don't respond well to chemotherapy drugs and they grow quickly. Another obstacle in treating this particular problem is that the agent in question needs to get across the blood-brain barrier, and the scientists are looking into whether coibamide A has this capability. In animal models, it \"significantly reduced\" the size of such tumors.\nThe substance is so promising that scientists at Kyoto University in Japan have already developed a way to produce it synthetically to help facilitate research and develop treatments faster.\nDr. Ishmael added: \"So far, there isn't a drug in clinical use or in any clinical trials that works in this way. We're using it to try to reveal a new pathway to trigger cell death in these cancer cells that have traditionally been considered very resistant to cell death.\"\nSimilar communities of algae have been found off the coast of South Africa and in the Red Sea.\nBlue-green algae and spirulina already considered top superfoods\nBlue-green algae, and its spirulina variety in particular, is rich in Vitamin A, B-complex, C, and E, along with calcium, iron and magnesium, all of which it contains in its natural form. Spirulina has long been touted as a natural anti-cancer agent, and it is considered one of the world's best superfoods on account of its vast and highly concentrated nutritional content. It's considered a great source of beta-carotene and lutein, and it has more protein per gram than fish, poultry, beef or soybeans. It also boasts a balanced spectrum of amino acids, the essential fatty acid GLA, and a tremendous amount of cleansing chlorophyll.\nStudies have shown it to be useful in fighting cancer, particularly when it comes to inhibiting the growth of oral cancer. It is also a powerful immune booster.\nIt has actually been around for billions of years, and helped provide the oxygen in our atmosphere that spurred the evolution of all higher forms of life. It was used by the Aztecs in Mexico centuries ago and has been used in Japan for medicinal purposes for many years, although it has yet to catch on in the mainstream American diet.\nMany people add spirulina to their diets in the form of powder, and its taste is mild and easily disguised in smoothies and other dishes. It is considered safe and is relatively inexpensive, which is why more and more people are adding it to their diets to gain its tremendous health benefits.\nThis discovery could have tremendous implications on the future of cancer treatment, and it leads one to wonder exactly how many other highly beneficial substances could be growing in the earth's waters that could one day save countless lives.\nSpirulina.NaturalNews.com\nOriginal article published on the NaturalNews.com\nPrevious article12 Visual Signs Of Health Problems You Don\u2019t Want To Ignore\nNext articleMajor Health Risks Associated With Heavy Drinking\nLearning About Quinoa If you\u2019re looking for a highly nutritious carbohydrate, that\u2019s not only going to help you stay lean, but will also maximize\u2026",

        "raw_content": "In a world that seems to be spinning further off its axis, I've immersed myself in Sergei Lukyanenko's The Night Watch, an urban fantasy set in Moscow, where members of the Light and Dark seek an upper-hand while maintaining an uneasy truce. The Watches can move in and out of the Twilight, a kind of magical overlay across reality. In these times it might be nice to slip into the Twilight and out of the Twilight Zone.\nReview of The Malice of Waves by Mark Douglas-Home\nReview of The Harbour Master by Daniel Pembrey\nReview of Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham\nKenny watched impassively as the black ball rolled across the green felt and dropped into the pocket.\n\u2018That\u2019s a hundred quid,\u2019 Mike said.\n\u2018Double or quits?\u2019\n\u2018I want the money first.\u2019\n\u2018I only have fifty.

He\u2019s often hired by families seeking to find the resting place of a loved one. In this case, it\u2019s David Wheeler, an English father who is hunting for answers in relation to the disappearance of his son, Max, from a small island in the Outer Hebrides. The boy had been spending a night alone camping on Priest\u2019s Island when he vanished, his body never found. Wheeler is convinced his son was murdered by a local and has become obsessed with finding his killer. Every year he has sent an investigator with a different skill set to try and crack the case. The arrival of the investigator along with Wheeler and his three daughters to mark the anniversary of the disappearance sets the small community on edge as they rally round to protect their reputation from what they feel are unfounded accusations. The question is, can McGill succeed where others have failed?\nThe Malice of Waves is the third instalment in the sea detective series. It\u2019s not easy to find a fresh angle in crime fiction, but Douglas-Home manages to carve out a little niche with an oceanographer who specialises in tracking bodies lost at sea. In this case Cal McGill is drafted in to help find out what happened to a boy who disappeared from a small island five year\u2019s previously. His presence in the local community is resented and family are hardly welcoming either. He\u2019s joined in the Outer Hebrides by Helen Jamieson, a police officer pretending to an ordinary member of the public trying to get over a failed relationship. While Cal rubs the locals and family up the wrong way while trying to get a handle on the local currents, Helen makes friends with the locals by the hanging around the local tea shop. Douglas-Home creates a strong sense of place and immerses the reader in the tense relations between the locals and family. There\u2019s nice characterisation of the villagers and the Wheeler family, with both Cal and Helen being appealing leads. The pace is steady and unrushed and the plot has plenty of blinds and misdirection. While the main thread is nicely constructed, the plotline with Pinkee Pryke, a poacher of bird eggs, felt like a plot device and was a little underdeveloped and not fully resolved. Overall, an engaging and atmospheric detective story.\nLabels: Mark Douglas-Home, Review, Scotland, The Malice of Waves\nA career cop, Henk van der Pol is six months from retirement. Up early one morning he\u2019s present when a young woman is discovered floating in Amsterdam harbour. Very quickly his colleague and boss have excluded him from the case. Not satisfied with the way it is being handled, Henk runs his own parallel investigation. From a tattoo on her ankle he determines that the woman was a gang-run prostitute from Hungary. Tangling with her pimp, Henk soon finds himself threatened by both the pimp and his police colleagues. He turns to a highly connected politician for help only to be enrolled in another scandal, this one involving diplomatic favours for political gain. Not quite sure who to trust and fearing for his family\u2019s safety Henk tries to navigate a treacherous terrain.\nThe Harbour Master is a police procedural thriller set in Amsterdam. The lead protagonist is Henk van der Pol, a cop nearing retirement, who is very much his own man and is reluctant to retire quietly. When he suspects that an investigation is being deliberately stalled he decides to keep digging, placing himself and family in danger. From there Pembrey keeps layering in criminal intrigue and police and political corruption as Henk stumbles and prods, making and tangling with enemies close by. Pembrey keeps the pace and tension high, but there were too many things I had a hard time believing from police and diplomatic conspiracies, to threats to shut police stations outside of any procedures or public process, to Henk\u2019s investigative journalist wife having never previously visited Brussels. The whole police setup felt far too small, rather than the large sprawling bureaucracy that it is. The result was a tale that had plenty going on, but didn\u2019t quite ring true.\nLabels: Amsterdam, Daniel Pembrey, Review, The Harbour Master\nReview of Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham (Orion, 2012)\nA prostitute and her six-year-old daughter are found dead in an abandoned house in Cardiff. At the scene is the credit card of a wealthy local businessman who died in a plane crash, though his body was never discovered. Detective Constable Fiona Griffiths is working on a different case, assembling the accounts for an ex-cop caught embezzling funds from his new employer, but she desperately wants to be part of the new murder investigation. Her boss is somewhat reluctant, since Griffiths is a little erratic, excelling at things she likes, and neglecting those she doesn\u2019t. Indeed, she gives the appearance of being somewhat autistic, being highly intelligent, socially awkward, over-intense and a loner, and there\u2019s a two year gap in her past which everyone assumes was a breakdown. Nonetheless, her boss lets her hover round the fringe of the task force, seeking information from other prostitutes. Finding links between the ex-cop embezzler and the dead owner of the credit card, Griffiths is soon running her own parallel investigation, ignoring orders and protocol, and trying to shake things up to get a firm lead and evidence, placing herself in danger. And for reasons she can\u2019t quite fathom the two deaths are drawing her back into her past and a dark secret.\nThe rebellious but good cop who\u2019s prepared to break the rules, and sometimes the law, to catch dangerous criminals is somewhat of a clich\u00e9 in police procedurals. Harry Bingham manages, however, to put a fresh spin on the format with Detective Constable Fiona Griffiths, an unconventional, socially awkward, highly intelligent woman who is something of a law to herself, despite her concerted attempts to try and read social situations and do the right thing. Griffiths is a wonderful character that raises Talking to the Dead beyond just another competent police procedural. Bingham gives her real depth, with strong character development occurring as the story unfolds. The plot is engaging with Griffiths running her own investigation within the official investigation into the death of a prostitute and her young daughter, all the while becoming more manic and seemingly regressing into the psychosis that consumed her last two years as a teenager. Bingham nicely moves all the pieces into place, building to a dramatic denouement. Unfortunately these scenes shifted into an action thriller that stretched credibility. Nonetheless, Talking to the Dead was a wonderful read and I\u2019m looking forward to reading the second book in the series and spending more time with DC Fiona Griffiths.\nLabels: Harry Bingham, Review, Talking to the Dead, Wales\nWork and home has been hectic recently and I'm falling behind with writing and posting reviews. I hope to draft and post three this week to get things back on track: Harry Bingham's Talking to the Dead, Daniel Pembrey's The Harbour Master, and Mark Douglas-Home's The Malice of Waves.\nReview of Deep Down Dead by Steph Broadribb\nWe'll all face the music\nDavie peeked out at the audience from the wings.\n\u2018Where is he?\u2019\n\u2018I don\u2019t know,\u2019 Jack answered. \u2018The lads haven\u2019t seen him.\u2019\n\u2018Well, bloody find him.

Desperate for cash she heckles her boss into letting her chase down a major bounty. There are two snags, however. The bounty is JT, her former mentor and lover, and she needs to take her daughter on the trip. She finds JT in West Virginia, but straightaway things start to go wrong. The Miami Mob and a theme-park paedophile ring are also searching for JT and when Dakota is snatched by one of them the stakes skyrocket. Lori is not about to forfeit her daughter or the bounty without a fight.\nDeep Down Dead is a crime thriller that follows the exploits of sassy bounty hunter and single-mother, Lori Anderson, in bringing back to Florida the person who taught her everything about her job, JT. In tow is her ill daughter and a messy past with JT. The key ingredients to the book are pace, action and tension. Broadribb keeps the narrative hurtling along as her heroine grapples with JT, the Miami Mob and a paedophile ring working in the Winter Wonderland theme park. What holds the story together, however, is an endless series of plot devices, many of which felt a little clunky, that stretched believability to the limit. Moreover, the relentless pace meant the tale lacked emotional depth and reflexivity beyond some confused feelings for JT and a desire to rescue the daughter. Overall then, a Hollywood action thriller that zips along in a series of improbable scenes, propelled by a sassy lead character, a will they/won\u2019t they romance, and fear for a kidnapped child.\nLabels: 2017, Deep Down Dead, Review, Steph Broadribb, United States\nI'm off to Amsterdam to give a couple of talks this week, so thankfully I've Daniel Pembrey's The Harbour Master set in the city on the to-be-read pile and will be shuffling to the top.\nReview of The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen\nReview of Invasion Rabaul by Bruce Gamble\n\u2018It\u2019s empty.\u2019\n\u2018Empty?\u2019\n\u2018Yeah, Locker 3.\u2019\n\u2018It can\u2019t be.

As the Viet Cong advance on Saigon the Americans are leaving. At his villa, a South Vietmanese general, who is head of the secret police, and his chief-aide draw up a list of those to be given safe passage from the country. It is left to the captain to make the arrangements, bribing various officials for appropriate documents and access through checkpoints. As shells begin to fall on the city the selected few gather and head for the airport. There they scramble onto the last departing flight, becoming refugees and leaving millions to their fate. Via Guam they arrive in America and try to rebuild their lives, having slid from the elite and privileged to poverty. The general dreams of returning to South Vietnam and starts to build a resistance movement, aided by Claude, his long-time CIA liaison, and his trusted captain. However, the captain is not so trust-worthy, having been a long-time spy for the Communists. The captain is a man-in-between, the offspring of a French priest and Viet mother, a man educated in the US but serving a communist cause, a man who has sympathies for the people and values of both sides. This is evident in his primary commitment: his two best friends \u2013 one a committed communist and his Viet Cong handler, the other a committed anti-communist who wants to return home and take revenge for the death of his wife and child.\nThe Sympathizer documents the confession of \u2018the captain\u2019, an official in the South Vietnamese secret police who flees to America as Saigon falls, who is also a secret agent for the Viet Cong. His confession is a fairly lengthy and rambling account of his flight and resettlement in Los Angeles, his work as an advisor on a movie about the Vietnam war, and his return as part of a resistance cell. In it, the captain explores a whole series of issues relating to politics and ideology, identity and belonging, inclusion and exclusion, struggle and resistance, friendship and social ties, loyalty and self-deception, and how war is perceived and pursued by different parties. In this sense, it provides quite a different perspective to American framings of the Vietnam war, yet a large part of the story is set in America and concerns American-supported actions. The result is what might be termed a \u2018big story\u2019, covering a lot of territory and being thoughtful and reflexive. Some of the writing really sparkles, with nice prose and insightful analysis. Occasionally the tale is flabby and too meandering, getting lost in its pursuit of being a \u2018big story\u2019. And while the lead up to the conclusion was interesting, with some nicely literary tricks, I just didn\u2019t believe the ending. Overall then a big story that delivers a thoughtful and thought-provoking, but also a slightly uneven, literary tale.\nLabels: Review, The Sympathizer, United States, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Vietnam\nReview of Invasion Rabaul by Bruce Gamble (Zenith Press, 2006)\nAs Japan rattled her sabres prior to declaring war on the Allies, Australia \u2013 already mobilised for the war in Europe \u2013 sought to strengthen its defences to its North, creating a shield across the islands of Papua New Guinea. One of those islands was New Britain, part of the Bismarck chain. To its small capital town of Rabaul the Australian government sent Lark Force, comprising of 1,500 soldiers, plus a handful of outdated planes and nurses. Most of the soldiers were volunteers with only a few weeks training and its commanders were reservists with some World War I experience. After the attack on Pearl Harbour some of the locals were evacuated, but Lark Force was not strengthened. On January 23, 1942, the Japanese attacked Rabaul in strength, the town chosen for the headquarters of Japanese forces in the South-West Pacific. The attackers quickly captured the town, its deep water port, and two airstrips.\nThe Australian defence was weak and poorly coordinated, and those troops that did not surrender fled into the jungle. They had few supplies and little knowledge of how to survive in such an environment. They headed west and south, hoping that the Australian government would send ships or seaplanes to rescue them. There was to be no Dunkirk-style rescue, however, and many were tracked down by the Japanese and taken prisoner or killed. Over the next few months a couple of hundred managed to escape the island. Those captured toiled as forced labourers before being sent by ship to Japan. The officers and women were separated from the enlisted soldiers and civilian men, who were packed into an old cruise-liner. En route to Japan it was torpedoed by a US submarine with the loss of all prisoners, over a thousand souls perishing.\nIn Invasion Rabaul, Gamble tells the story of Lark Force, the fall of Rabaul, the disorderly retreat and escape attempts, and the fate of prisoners, drawing on accounts and interviews of survivors and archival material. He nicely mixes a general overview of the history of the events with more personal stories about members of Lark Force and their fates. What is largely missing is a discussion of the Australian government and military decisions and actions, and reactions of the Australian public. Nonetheless, a very readable account of one of Australian tragedies of the Second World War.\nLabels: Bruce Gamble, Invasion Rabaul, Review\nI got off to a good start to the year this week, drafting two book chapters: one on urban science, the other on smart cities and governmentality.

Here are my favourite fiction and non-fiction reads. For full reviews of each book click on the links and to see all 104 reviews click here.\nSet in 1974 in central Los Angeles, the tale follows the lives of five pairs of patrolmen working the night shift over a six-month period, culminating in a fatal shooting in MacArthur Park, where the men gather periodically to get drunk and let off steam. The Choirboys is a fascinating, multi-layered story. The characterisation and social relations excellent, with Wambaugh fleshing out fully-dimensional personalities who form an uneasy and fractious alliance. The vignettes and story arc are compelling and realistic. And the prose and voice are engaging, blending serious social commentary with black humour and tragi-comedy. A thoughtful, insightful, critical and entertaining read.\nThe story charts the life of Dorrigo Evans, a flawed war hero who is haunted by his love for a woman with whom he had a brief affair and the horror of a Japanese prisoner of war camp. It\u2019s essentially an exploration of the human condition through a series of contrasts and juxtapositions \u2013 love/indifference, freedom/confinement, compassion/cruelty, carefree/haunted \u2013 with threads of connection, such as the camaraderie of prisoners, family ties, poetry and literature. The result is a vivid, haunting, moving and thought-provoking tale of love and loss told through some wonderful prose.\nA Killing Frost by R.D. Wingfield\nThe final book in the Frost series. Wingfield does a great job at weaving together a multiple set of engaging plot lines, overloading the already overstretched Frost with cases and internal battles. Along with the plotting, the characterisation is excellent and the dialogue and interactions between characters is superb. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable read, full of black humour.\nExposure is a spy drama that focuses mostly on the fallout affecting a wife and children when a family-man is framed as a traitor. The storyline is nicely plotted and paced. The characterisation and character development is excellent, with each of the leads being fully dimensional, along with the children, and their interactions ring true. In addition, Dunmore keeps the mood and tension low-key but persistent, keeping the sense of an everyday family caught out of step front and centre. The result is an engaging, thoughtful, understated literary spy tale.\nBlessed are the Dead by Malla Nunn\nThe third book in the Emmanuel Cooper series set in 1950s South Africa. Nunn has really hit her stride with this instalment. The characterisation is excellent, especially Cooper and his colleague Shabalala, and Nunn nicely portrays their interactions and social relations. Indeed, she excels at detailing the complex social structure within and between communities \u2013 Black, Indian, Jewish, White Afrikaans, White English \u2013 and the politics of policing within such strictures. There is a nice attention to historical detail and the sense of place is palpable with the reader being transported to rural South Africa and its dramatic landscape. A very good police procedural that delivers on multiple levels.\nWhen the Doves Disappeared charts the entangled lives of three Estonians during the Second World War and twenty years later. Each represent the different positions of Estonians during successive waves of occupation, resistance, and collaboration. Oskanen maps out their intersecting lives, shuttling back and forth between the years 1941-44 and 1963-66, documenting the ongoing struggles and betrayals of family and country. The result is a compelling, bleak, haunting and thought-provoking black drama that explores themes of love, loyalty, treachery, tragedy and freedom.\n7Days by Deon Meyer\n7Days has all the good hallmarks of a police procedural \u2013 an interesting lead cop and supporting cast, a strong sense of place, interesting puzzles, and attention to detail \u2013 but also have the pace and tension of a thriller. Meyer expertly balances character development, plot and pace, producing a highly engaging and entertaining read that not only delivers an intriguing story but nicely advances the longer narrative of the Benny Griessel books. I was hooked from the first page.\nThe ninth book in the Charlie Parker series set in Maine. In this outing, Parker is tasked with discovering why a small group of Iraqi veterans are taking their own lives. All the key elements were on point, the hook, the social commentary on the Iraqi war and the treatment of veterans, the investigation, the sense of place, the characterisation and social relations, and the plotting. The result is an engaging, informative and tense read grounded in strong research that contextualises but doesn\u2019t swamp the narrative. A thoroughly entertaining tale.\nEleven Days by Stav Sherez\nIn Eleven Days Sherez uses the format of a police procedural and London\u2019s diverse population to shine a light on a couple of fairly weighty issues: the political turmoil and violence in Peru during the 1970s and the role of liberation theology and the contemporary movement of Albanian criminals into London\u2019s underworld and sex trafficking. The result is an engaging and compelling tale full of gritty realism in which the politics is a crucial element of the story but never overly dominates it at its expense. I wasn\u2019t entirely convinced by the denouement, which I felt had one twist too many, but nonetheless a superior, thought-provoking, edge-of-seat police procedural.\nCity of Thieves by David Beniof\nCity of Thieves is a well crafted coming-of-age story set during the Siege of Leningrad. The tale has a number of strengths, including an engaging voice and prose, well-paced narrative, a well-developed sense of place, time and context, and a great hook and engaging story line. What makes the book shine, however, is the characterisation and the emerging relationship between two friends, Lev and Kolya. Benioff nicely blends their quest to find a dozen eggs, with observations about Soviet society and the war. An engaging and entertaining tale of hardship, friendship and adventure.\nThe Boys in the Boat tells the story of the US rowing eight and their quest to win gold at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. The central hook for the story is the life of Joe Rantz, a man who\u2019d had a hard upbringing and had never rowed three years prior to the Olympics. Brown tells a multi-layered story, weaving together strands that detail the development of rowing at UW in the 1920s and 30s, the personal trajectories of coaches and master boat builder, George Pocock, their rivalry with the University of California, and rowing in the US more generally, the Great Depression, and how the Nazis orchestrated the 1936 Olympics. The result is a richly contextualised, fascinating, and highly entertaining tale, rich in personal biographies, historic occasions, and high emotion and drama.\nAs the Second World War in Europe drew to a close the Allies started to hunt down Nazi war criminals and top German scientists. In many cases, these two groups overlapped. The US had a choice \u2013 prosecute scientists who had participated in crimes against humanity, or give them clemency and hire them to work on military science projects and for the US military-industrial complex. It chose the latter and through Operation Paperclip recruited many to work for the US. Jacobsen does an excellent job of setting out the Operation Paperclip programme and detailing the cases of several of the most prominent scientists. The result is an interesting, engaging and disturbing read that raises all kinds of moral and ethical questions\nA very readable and highly informative account of the battle at Midway in June 1942, including some contextual framing with respect to Pearl Harbour, the Battle of the Coral Sea, and the first US air raid on Tokyo. Unlike previous accounts that suggest that the US were lucky to win the encounter, Symonds argues that the US won due to good intelligence, strong leadership, and the element of surprise. Given the number of different threads and personalities involved the narrative could have easily become quite jumbled or bogged down in detail, but Symonds manages to blend the various strands into a coherent, gripping and page-turning story told with an engaging voice.\nLabels: 2016, best reads, crime fiction\nAfter a slow start, December was a good month of reading. The standout read was Joseph Wambaugh's 1975 classic, The Choirboys. An excellent read to finish the year.\nHappy new year! I hope that 2017 brings you success and happiness. As has been the case for the past few years, my aim is to reduce just about everything work-wise and to get better at saying 'no' to requests. I usually also say that I plan to cut back on reading and to spend more time writing. I do want to spend more time writing in 2017, but I want the time to come at the expense of travel instead of reading (which seems to be pretty consistent regardless of whatever else is going on).\nFollowing Bernadette at Reaction to Readings love of charts, here is my reading year, with comparison to the previous six (culled from Goodreads). It seems that I am pretty consistent at roughly two books a week, though 2016 saw a surge in pages read on 2015 (over 5k more), averaging just under 100 pages a day. I'm a bit surprised by that as I didn't feel I was reading more than usual. I'll post my best of list during the week, as well as list of all the countries/fiction I literary travelled to.\nReview of The Choirboys by Joseph Wambaugh\nReview of Holding by Graham Norton\nReview of Crimea by Orlando Figes\nThere's something down there\nLabels: reading stats, Sunday Service\nReview of The Malice of Waves by Mark Douglas-Home...\nReview of Talking to the Dead by Harry Bingham (Or...\nReview of Deep Down Dead by Steph Broadribb (Orend...\nReview of The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen (Co...\nReview of Invasion Rabaul by Bruce Gamble (Zenith ...",

        "raw_content": "In today's environment, the effects of a long-term operations outage can have a catastrophic impact. Recovering from a disaster means enabling your organization to survive and continue normal business operations. In order to survive, your organization must be able to continue normal processing. Kansas City offers you some distinct advantages when faced with planning for such an unfortunate occurrence.\nKansas City has a central U.S. location, which reduces the likelihood that KC-based operations will become a target for disruption. And in the case that a recovery is needed, we are within a day's driving distance of a number of metropolitan areas.\nAdditionally, the Kansas City region boasts one of the most robust energy delivery networks in the world, as well as highly developed telecom capabilities. Transmission systems are designed and built on \u201cfirst contingency\u201d basis, so the loss of any particular generator or transmission line has no effect on supplies across the region. Local suppliers aggressively analyze and upgrade both transmission and delivery systems to ensure reliability. In general, systems here are less interconnected and less densely populated than those on the East and West Coasts. And, future reliability is being shaped by shared participation in the Southwest Power Pool.\nThe depth of our resources enables you to concentrate on a preventive strategy rather than focusing primarily on minimizing the impact of a disaster after it has occurred. This provides you with both economic and operational advantages. Plus, you can take comfort in the knowledge that Kansas City is a very unlikely candidate for an energy black-out!\nLow Natural Disaster Area\nEarthquake\u2014Greater Kansas City is located in Zone I, minor damage (Algermissen, 1969) with anticipated intensity of V-VI on the Modified Mercalli Scale. This seismicity is directly related to the New Madrid Rift Zone to the southeast and the Nemaha Uplift to the west; both features represent weak zones in the crust. Historically strong earthquakes have not occurred in the region of Greater Kansas City.\nThe following map, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey, shows the Kansas City area to be in relatively little threat of significant seismic activity.\nTornado\u2014Within a 50-mile radius of Kansas City (approximately 10,000 sq. mi.), an average of five tornadoes touch down per year according to the National Weather Service. Tornadoes can strike in any city in the U.S. In the Midwest, tornado frequency is highest from early spring through the summer.\nThe following map illustrates the total annual threat of tornadoes in the United States. The mean number of days per year with one or more events within 25 miles of a point is shown by the map. The mean number of days per year with one or more events within 25 miles of Kansa City is 1.0 days.\nSource: NOAA, Storm Prediction Center Statistics.",

        "raw_content": "Having a baby is no piece of cake! From the process of going through nine months of pregnancy which includes morning sickness, lack of sleep, discomfort and several other complications to actually undergoing child birth. It all requires a great deal of strength, both, mentally and physically. If you happen to be a new mom, then these are some of the common mistakes that you should avoid making.\nNot taking care of oneself\nIt is no news that new moms go through a great deal of stress and issues during the first few months after the delivery. Not only do they have to focus on their healing process in terms of their physical ailments and psychological changes as well, they also have to focus on tending to the needs of another individual before their own needs. Hiring a maternity photography Perth service to capture your pre and post-delivery moments is not of utmost importance. Instead, it is more important to focus on your scars and getting help when needed. If you tend to experience postpartum depression, it is important to speak to someone or visit a therapist to get help from the right sources.\nOverstressing!\nAs a new mom, it is quite normal to experience moments of panic wherein you tend to overthink the slightest situations and make a big deal out of nothing. However, it is important to understand that the baby will take some time to adjust to the environment that is outside the mother\u2019s body. Therefore, there is no need to get anxious or panic at the slightest cry or cough that the baby may exhibit. Just remember to keep your calm and deal with the situation in a rational manner without freaking out!\nNeglecting your responsibilities\nAs a woman, there are certain responsibilities to be taken care of, such as handling the baby as well as managing the house which includes cooking a few healthy meals and ensuring that the house is kept clean and suitable for the baby. However, another important responsibility is your responsibility towards your spouse and other family members. It is important to ensure that they do not feel neglected due to the arrival of the baby. You could host a small get together and call in the family photographer to capture a few of the baby\u2019s first moments with the members of your family.Making mistakes is inevitable and you are more likely to make mistakes if this is your first pregnancy. So don\u2019t stress out if you can\u2019t seem to get everything right. You will receive a great deal of advice from those around you and you will end up making mistakes regardless of all the advice you receive. So, stop trying to perfect this job, because it\u2019s almost impossible to do so.

        "raw_content": "Cervical cancer has a devastating impact on women and their families in the prime of their lives. Survivors are critical advocates for preventing and treating this tragic disease.\nRose Cheido, a 48-year-old single mother in Kenya, discovered she had cervical cancer in July 2013, and started radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments at Nairobi\u2019s Kenyatta National Hospital in early 2014. \u201cThe treatment was not easy,\u201d said Rose. \u201cI didn\u2019t have a job, and the family had to support me. So, it was a struggle.\u201d\nCervical cancer is a terrible disease that affects and kills women in the prime of their lives, when they are raising their children and contributing to their communities. Like Rose, they are often significant contributors to household income.\nRose Cheido, a cervical cancer survivor and advocate, in Nairobi, Kenya. Cervical cancer kills more women in Kenya than any other form of cancer.\nTheir suffering is particularly tragic because it is avoidable. There are safe and effective vaccines against the virus that causes most cases of cervical cancer (human papillomavirus, or HPV), and cervical cancer is also preventable by screening women and immediately treating any pre-cancerous lesions, an approach known as \u201cscreen-and-treat.\u201d But access to these prevention services, and treatment for women diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer, is severely limited in less-developed regions of the world. As a result, the disease kills an estimated 311,000 women worldwide each year.\nRose Cheido, a Kenyan cervical cancer survivor and advocate, speaks to her doctor at his office in Nairobi, Kenya.\nAfter one year of treatment for cervical cancer, Rose was back on her feet, working tirelessly as a cancer patient advocate. She educates women that cervical cancer is a preventable and treatable disease, and assists those who are diagnosed with invasive cervical cancer along an otherwise lonely journey.\nPatient advocates such as Rose can help women unravel the trauma, fear, and other challenges that often block them from seeking proper treatment. And when they receive treatment, Rose helps them navigate the generally under-recognized and neglected challenges that women face afterward. Cervical cancer survivors can experience significant social, physical, and financial problems.\nOne big burden for cervical cancer patients is stigma. \u201cYou get stigmatized and you are left there alone,\u201d said Rose, so she offers others hope through her own story, and encourages them to advocate for themselves. \u201cIt\u2019s very possible to recover, but\u2026if you don\u2019t act, nobody would know what you are going through.\u201d\nGlobally, a lack of political attention and funding are obstacles to reducing the burden of cervical cancer. The experiences of women like Rose led Kathy Vizas to co-found TogetHER, an international partnership focused on ending cervical cancer.\n\u201cSolving the problem of the lack of funding around cervical cancer, to help women and girls, is what TogetHER is about,\u201d said Vizas. \u201cOur work every day is to figure out how to motivate people, spread the word and educate people, so that we can get funding for programs to screen women and to vaccinate girls.\u201d\nSadly for Rose, after several years of remission, her cancer is back, and she again faces a steep recovery without the means to support herself and her family.\n\u201cChances of really recovering and being the same are not very easy,\u201d said Rose. \u201cYou may not have the same strength you used to have before.\u201d\nTogetHER envisions a world where all women and girls have access to the effective tools already available to ensure that no woman must go through what Rose has experienced.",

The fractional loss followed a 6.6% gain in the fourth quarter of 2017, 4.5% in the third quarter, 3.1% in the second quarter and 6.1% in the first quarter of 2017. Volatility reappeared after a two-year lull.\nOver the 10 years shown, $1 invested in the S&P 500 grew to $2.48. From the low on March 9, 2009, $1 in stocks grew to $4.72 -- a 372% return! What makes America exceptional among all nations has been unfolding in plain sight for 10 years, but it is always difficult to recognize it the moment it is happening.\nThe technology sector was again the standout in the 12 months ended March 31, 2018. The laggards -- telecom, consumer staples, energy, and utilities -- are considered more defensive. This is a sign of a gradual shift in sentiment toward riskier assets.\nThe S&P 500 index\u2019s total return of 87% in the five years through March 31, 2018, was more than double the 40% return on the S&P global stock index excluding U.S. stocks. For the first time in years, global growth accompanied the long U.S. expansion, boosting returns of a portfolio broadly diversified across the globe.\nAt 107-months old, this is the second-longest expansion in modern U.S. history, surpassing the 106-month long expansion of the 1960s, and just 13 months shy of the 120-month boom of the 1990s -- the longest ever. With fundamentals strong, this is likely to become the longest in post-War America.\nAfter hiking rates in March, the Fed said three more quarter-point hikes would follow in 2018. Interest rate cycles are slow. The most recent 24 years were marked by falling rates, while rates fell the previous 24 years. A new rising recently began. Rising bond yields often coincided with bull markets in stocks in the past.",

Through the involvement of many persons who are in contact with people living and/or working in the street, the aim of this network is to increase the efficiency and the quality of the practices by means of training, exchange and implementation of educational tools. The other objective is to generate an international mobilization to build lasting and structural answers toward problems that people in the streets face around the world.\nDynamo International \u2013 International network of street workers \u2013 connects thousands of them from all four main continents.\nHundreds of associations are involved in the network too.\nWhy its existence?\nThis project is a real solidarity network whereby people working on the ground can express themselves, question the political powers and others instances on the fight against exclusions and inequalities, enhenced by a clear globalization.\nTo realize an effective street work, it\u2019s necessary to fulfill a minimum of conditions. In fact, most structures working in this area are fragile. The International network of street workers seeks to enhance and professionalize the groundwork. \u201cOverall\u201d proposals have to be submitted to address social issues. Each of us is a purveyor of helpful values and skills in order to build \u201canother possible world.\u201d\nWhy an international network for street education?\nThe purpose of the network is to promote the exchange of practices, training and reflection in order to improve the work on the ground by providing tools to assist people more effectively. It also seeks the awareness, questioning and promotion of the social street work on its specificities. To fight effectively against poverty and social exclusion, we have to draw up concrete proposals on an international basis and common theoretical frameworks while respecting national circumstances.\nEach platform represents a country and brings together several local associations (sometimes hundreds) and street workers individually. These platforms meet regularly to create strategies, to develop activities which allow street workers to share their realities. Each platform has one or two coordinator(s) in charge of the link with Dynamo International.\nAll these coordinators form the Pilot Group of the International network which brings together every two years to decide about the missions, objectives and activities to implement.\nTo join our network, it is only necessary to share our goals and values (tolerance, justice, international solidarity), to be involved in a street education project or non-formal education in general.\nOn that basis, you just have to contact the coordinator(s) of the corresponding country to receive information locally and internationally.\nIf your country is not yet member, you have to create a platform and apply to be a member of the International network of social street workers.\nTo participate, you can also submit contents about projects, studies related to street work, initiatives, donations, etc and receive information through our website, newsletters and our publications.",

        "raw_content": "Kritika kritike Kanemana, 2. deo\nWhat is obscure? \u201eAt most, they simply demonstrate either the subjects\u2019 ignorance of certain obscure statistics\u201c (p. 132) Well, ignorance may indeed be a relative term, but it is hard to construe the huge numerical preponderance of farmers over librarians as \u201eobscure\u201c for anybody not living in a cave. In non-Orwellian speak, \u201ccertain obscure statistics\u201d applies to things like the number of cane toads in Australia or the famous example of Enrico Fermi, the population of piano-tuners in Chicago. \u201cDid it occur to you that there are more than male farmers for each male librarian in the United States?\u201d\u2014as if this information is intuitive or self-evident.\u201c (p. 134) it certainly is not self-evident, but contra BT it is intuitive, since intuition is based (on most reasonable philosophical construals, e.g., Hume\u2019s \u201cstriking resemblance\u201d in A Treatise of Human Nature) on actually having some prior knowledge on relationship of empirical objects. Of course, BT are free to use their own definition of what is intuitive or not \u2013 but are hardly entitled to criticize Kahneman for not sticking to their private definition in this respect.\n\u201eWhen respondents perform poorly, the reader is led to interpret their failure as a cognitive bias, although simple ignorance of either quantitative technique or of relevant facts suffices to explain it.\u201c (p. 134) Alternative explanations \u2013 which are, interestingly enough, not entertained by BT \u2013 include low IQ, iodine deficiency, serious depression, or simple laziness.\nOn bats and balls: \u201cThis is not at all a simple puzzle. The fact that it involves bats, balls, and small amounts of money makes it look simple and thus lulls respondents into thinking they should have the answer ready. In reality, this is a system of two equations with two unknowns\u2014the type of mathematical problem that, in the United States, is not learned until at least the eighth grade, if ever.\u201c (p. 135)\nNow, an interesting issue is why should the US education system (a broken one, btw, according to authors so disparate as Alan Bloom, Francis Fukuyama, Judith Butler, or Bernie Sanders) be a norm here? Even more interesting is how in the world could a person buying chocolate in two different packages in two shops for a fixed amount of money establish whether she received correct change at the counters or one shop is indeed cheaper than the other? This is also a system of two equations with two unknowns. And a person incapable of deciding so might not be irrational in the narrow sense of BT, but in reality should not be trusted very much. There are countless examples of similar problems involving two equations with two unknowns appearing in everyday contexts. Some adults take some kids to a movie, five people in all. The cost for adults is $9 and the cost for kids is $6. They paid a total of $36. How many kids are there?\n\u201e[T]he question is not only outside our normal range of experience and therefore irrelevant to the lives of most people.\u201c (p. 135) Only those people not doing shopping \u2013 or those not very careful with their money, or those not likely to go with kids to a movie, or... On a serious note, this assertion that what is outside our own range of experience is therefore irrelevant to our lives or to the lives of most people is, at best, outright bizarre. As someone who did some work in risk analysis, I find this claim preposterous. Rational people take into account events outside their own range of experience all the time \u2013 the insurance industry would not exist otherwise. Our own death is by definition outside our range of experience (alleged after-death experiences or spiritism notwithstanding) and yet people invest in life insurance all the time. Large natural catastrophes like tsunamies, large earthquakes, supervolcanic eruptions, etc. are outside of range of experience of most people \u2013 and yet are supremely relevant for anyone on the planet. Nuclear war has been, fortunately, outside our own range of experience so far \u2013 and yet is utterly relevant for all lives on the planet, human and animal and plant alike. In claiming this, BT show surprising narrow-mindedness and \u2013 yes, ironically, considering their parable above \u2013 large degree of self-absorption.\nOn geography: \u201eThere really should be no surprise that a subject asked about the total number of murders in Michigan is not able to invoke two different pieces of information never mentioned in the question: that Detroit is a high-crime city and that Detroit is in Michigan.\u201c (p. 135)\nConsider a related statement: There really should be no surprise that a voter asked about the promise of a candidate for the governor of Michigan to reduce the number of murders in Detroit is not able to invoke two different pieces of information never mentioned in the question: that Detroit is a high-crime city and that Detroit is in Michigan. Plus, the voter was never explicitly told that reduction in the number of murders is desirable, therefore she cannot make rational judgement on the candidate\u2019s program. And yet, and yet, the voter will be \u2013 irrationally? \u2013 asked to make a judgement on those issues at the time of elections.\nThe example in footnote 3 is even worse, since it is unintelligible: if drivers believe that they are better than the average and the average is being construed as \u201cunexceptional\u201d, what in the world could it mean for someone to be \u201cbetter than unexceptional\u201d? One could similarly argue that he is \u201cfitter than yellow\u201d or \u201cmore intelligent than mountainous\u201d; it could mean something only in the context of a Derridian or a \u017di\u017eekian farrago of nonsense.\n\u201eA student who cannot solve the integral because he did not think of making the particular substitution in that case is not sufficiently proficient at calculus; but he is not biased against solving the integral.\u201c (pp. 135-136) Such conclusion would require telepathic superpowers to be established. In most cases, bias is defined in science as something discernible from an external perspective (perspective of observer or a statistician) \u2013 e.g., Malmquist bias, Signor-Lipps effect, various anthropic biases, etc. So, while we might indeed refrain from calling the student\u2019s lack of performance a bias without further information, it is at least conceivable that it results from a bias, e.g., from an error in his textbook on the particular substitution, or from the teacher lacking skills in this respects, etc.\n\u201eRespondents may be wrong about the total number of murders in Detroit and Michigan, but these aggregate numbers are information that is of very little importance outside government statistical offices, just as is the question Kahneman asks.\u201c (p. 136) Unless one is living in Detroit or in rural Michigan or considers moving there or should judge programs of crime reduction or is deciding upon donating to charities in Michigan or some of other zillion cases BT \u2013 similarly as with the application of conservation of momentum and energy in driving \u2013 conveniently downplay and/or ignore. Which in their case, I submit, is not caused by ignorance, but by the biased view of the role of knowledge in human actions and values. However, BT do not fail to emphasize that it is outside government statistical offices, and not statistical offices or, say, private charity research like GiveWell or other private-sector statisticians, who do no less statistical research than the government does.\nOn the Linda experiment: \u201eA reasonable person may, in effect, be answering a different and broader question that evaluates the entire situation rather than the textual question alone\u2014for instance, \u201cWhat has the examiner designated as the correct answer?\u201d Or \u201cWhat is the most likely answer in this experiment that I am in?\u201d\u201c (p. 137)\nI imagine one should use similar heuristics in filling one\u2019s tax forms for example \u2013 not giving narrow and literal answers, but musing on what the government really wishes to achieve with existing tax rates or whether it would be better for all parties if I answer something differently, etc. The outcome of such an experiment would certainly be wondrous! Again, it is pretty ironic that BT ascribe such highly intelligent analysis to the very same set of subjects who are previously excused for failing to understand logical conjunction or for not knowing that Detroit is in Michigan.\nOn choices allegedly beyond cognitive biases: \u201eit may be worth contrasting them against the costs of mistakes that clearly have nothing to do with cognitive biases: the cost of choosing a profession one ends up hating, the cost of not finding a suitable mate, the cost of having children too early in life or too late, the cost of moving to a place one ends up disliking, the cost of adopting a pet or sending children to a private school, and so on.\u201c (p. 140) How in the world are those choices not influenced by cognitive biases? After all, one decides about school for one\u2019s children often on the basis of pure confirmation bias, and the profession one ends up hating is intuitively (if not self-evidently!) often a consequence of the temporal horizon bias, etc.\n\u201eKahneman\u2019s reliance on this model of decision making suggests that we would ideally become more literal, abstract, out-of-context thinkers and, as such, more in line with the neoclassical economic model, without making it clear how this would improve the human condition.\u201c (p. 142) The charge is as bizarre as what was brought, for instance, against Einstein by \u201eAryan physicists\u201c Lenard and Stark in 1930s that the theory of relativity does not contribute to the glory of Aryan race or obtaining the desired Lebensraum. On the Serbian scene, we have witnessed a dumb science minister (Dragan Domazet) who urged scientists to work \u201efor their country instead of working for libraries\u201c (!). This misplaced pragmatism \u2013 reminiscent of Lysenkoism in Soviet times \u2013 has never been a signpost of scientific success.\nOn Kahneman\u2019s alleged revolution: \u201eIn behavioral economics, then, we do not find the building blocks of an alternative decision making theory that could be incorporated into a more fruitful type of social science. In Kuhnian terms, it is not a scientific revolution but a strange transmogrification of an old and manifestly inadequate paradigm.\u201c (p. 143) While \u201eKuhnian terms\u201c should make one suspicious, it is the idea that we should consciously strive toward \u201efruitfulness\u201c of science \u2013 even social one! \u2013 which is really problematic. Arguably, Kuhnian view of revolutions in science is much less important for epistemology and philosophy of science of today than the Lakatosian notion of research programmes \u2013 and it is exactly Kahneman\u2019s research programme (and certainly not a revolution!) which brought him the deserved success. Even under Kuhnian terms revolutions are not acts of will, as BT seem to suggest in both the title and this concluding passage \u2013 there is no perceived desire for a more fruitful kind of science which leads to a scientific revolution. In fact, the Kuhnian account does no good to BT\u2019s concerns exactly because Kuhn insisted on incommensurability of paradigms, so there could be no way to say that a new paradigm is more or less fruitful, adequate or inadequate. Instead, as Kahneman is well aware, only a gradual competition of research programmes and reforms following their improvement lead to truly improved insight into problem situations. Kahneman is no revolutionary \u2013 and he\u2019s among the greatest for exactly this reason.\nat Tuesday, September 13, 2016 posted by Milan \u0106irkovi\u0107",

        "raw_content": "Stop Searching For Answers About Property Investing: This Post Has Them And More\nsnakebuffet57joshua\nMany people have made impressive sums of money by becoming educated on the process of real estate investing. However you also need the drive and confidence for success or you simply will not do much more than get by. The following information will assist you in beginning your real estate investment venture. Make sure that you set realistic goals based on the budget that you have. You should not set a goal to buy ten houses in the span of a month if you only have a hundred thousand dollars to your name. Set reasonable expectations to avoid setbacks at all costs. Protect your growing real estate business by establishing a LLC or other business entity. This can protect you and your future investments. There are also great tax benefits concerning the business transactions you make. When looking at your business strategy, understand your sunk costs that go beyond the general price of the home. There are closing costs, legal fees, staging costs, and other items that can greatly affect your profits. As you go through margins, make sure you consider every potential cost and include them on the line item list. When you invest in real estate to rent the property, make sure you're able to get your money back within a reasonable amount of time. If it takes you years to get the money back in rental payments, then it will be hard for you to use the money on anything property related. If you're going to want to do some home projects on your property, then you need to make sure you know what you're doing. When home improvements are done wrong, it could really make your real estate drop in value. It may just be best to hire someone that knows how to fix the problems the property has. When investing in residential real estate, make sure you know the neighborhood you are buying in. Some neighborhoods offer better resale potential, while others are better for long or short term rentals. By knowing your neighborhood, you can create a smart business plan that nets you the highest potential for future profits. It is important that you start out slow in the beginning. It may take more time than usual for you to score your first deal in real estate. Be as patient as possible if things do not work out. You don't want to be impatient; instead, you want to secure the right investment. This is not a wise way to spend money. Instead, simply be patient until you find the right property. Have multiple exit strategies for a property. A lot of things can affect the value of real estate, so you're best having a short term, mid-term, and long term strategy in place. That way you can take action based off of how the market is faring. Having no short term solution can cost you a ton of money if things go awry quickly. <blockquote class=\"curated_content\"> <h2>First Time Home Buyer: Here's are some tips on property buying - Moneycontrol.com</h2> Property prices in most metro cities of India have remain unchanged or actually softened in the last few years. This year will be no different for residential prices. However, fresh inventory is expected to hit the market as now there is much more clarity on the policy front. For buyers looking to take the plunge, there could not be a better time to acquire that perfect home. http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/real-estate/first-time-home-buyer-heres-are-some-tips-on-property-buying-2508373.html </blockquote> Avoid buying real estate if it ends up eating into your bank account or cash that you keep aside for emergencies. Investing in real estate can tie up money for long stretches of time, and often not show returns for many years. Don't invest in real estate at the expense of daily living. Know what you should be looking for in a property based on current trends in the market. For example, if you're going to rent out the properties you buy, then it's best to have units that are for single people, which is a current trend. Another example is to ensure any home you buy has three or more bedrooms because it will be easier for you to sell or rent to families. Don't let a real estate investment deplete your emergency reserve or cash fund. Real estate investments can make large amounts of money inaccessible for long amounts of time. You do not want your investment property to put your personal life in a pinch. Don't invest in properties you don't like. Only purchase properties that you like and will enjoy owning. Of course, it should be a good investment on paper and in reality; however, you should not purchase a property that you dislike simply because the numbers are good. You are sure to have a bad experience and be unhappy with it. Don't expect to get rich overnight in real estate investment. On the contrary, it may take up to a decade for your investments to really pay off and many new to the business fail to realize this. With some exceptions, you need to be in the position to hold your properties before seeing any major profits. Make being on time a priority. Other people's time is just as valuable as yours, whether the person in question is another investor, a contractor or an agent. If you respect their time, they will often respect you as a person and a business associate. As a result, you could create lasting relationships that benefit your end goals. Look for distressed properties at bargain prices. You can often find these well below market value. Buying these and fixing them up can net you big profits. In the long run, you will make a lot more by following the strategy than you would by purchasing homes that need little or no work. Get expert help. Try to remember that you never want to make an offer on an investment property without speaking to someone with extensive knowledge of the industry. Someone who works in the industry is ideal. Any expert you trust can help you make wise choices. Don't invest in properties you don't like. Only purchase properties that you like and will enjoy owning. Of course, it should be a good investment on paper and in reality; however, you should not purchase a property that you dislike simply because the numbers are good. You are sure to have a bad experience and be unhappy with it. Your rental contract should include the requirement of a security deposit. This protects your interests if your tenant leaves your property in an uninhabitable state when he moves out. The contract gives you the right to keep the security deposit in order to hire a cleaning service or a repair service to fix the problems. Now that you have the information in this article, real estate investing should be much simpler. Anyone can do great with this if they just work on it with good advice. It is always a good idea to educate oneself when the chance arises, so look out for advice like what was written here.",

        "title": "Tulisan Murtad: Why I Can't Forgive the Jews",
        "raw_content": "By Kevin O'Neil\nI make no apology for my title. The Jews have much to answer for, especially the Jews of Israel \u2013 and there\u2019s no letting up.\nI write from England, this precious stone set in the silver sea, where our forefathers were nourished on the blessed freedoms of a robust paganism. We relished our ever-inventive superstitions and gloried in unbridled passion. We made our choice between 14 gods, worshipped devils, and were in lifelong bondage to an inexorable fate known sinisterly as Wyrd. Standards there were, agreeably low.\nSure, hopeless ruffians were we, shackled to a changeless decree of the gods, but we felt mostly good about our brute lives and ourselves. We were all in the same boat, no better and no worse than the next bloke.\nHowever, like the distant rumblings of an approaching rainstorm, the Jewish Messiah\u2019s teachings had reached our shores in the 1st century, and their voice was growing louder. The Jewish Messiah and the Jewish Bible would become our nemesis and break open our little world.\nWhat followed is well documented and one may Google for the relevant facts, but, for us, it meant that we could no longer enjoy the life of unbridled paganism. The bar of morality had been raised. It was a rude awakening; our stone of shelter was overturned.\nNow I am reminded of a friend back in the 70's, who was employed for a few days in a factory that manufactured long, electro-plated metal rods. Turning out nearly 300 of these things every day, he was approached by the Foreman. \"Look 'ere, son you're working too 'ard. The rest never do more\u2019n 250 and you're makin\u2019 \u2018em look bad. Before we know it, everybody will be expected to do 300. Now, toe the line, there's a good lad.\" He was in no forgiving mood.\nSimilarly, are we seriously expected to forgive the Jews for turning out more ethics and ever-higher standards of morality than the rest of us? Things like love your neighbour as yourself, in place of the good old traditional do it to him before he does it to you ethic. It takes only one do-gooder to make the rest of us look bad. We might be living under a stone, but it's our stone.\n20 centuries have passed and we\u2019ve managed, with varying degrees of success, to not merely get used to this higher morality, but also to convince ourselves that we thought of it in the first place and that it had nothing to do with the Jews, their Messiah and their Bible. But prior to this Jewish education we were like Caliban in the unwholesome fen, satisfied with his water with berries in't. Ah, the savage at liberty.\nWe know who\u2019s to blame for this, the Jews. What were they trying to do, for Pete's sake, bring heaven to Earth? Behold this dreamer cometh. If not for the Jews, God would most likely have remained in heaven, His Place, and never come to Earth to make us uncomfortable, by awakening in us a desire for more than berries in water.\nHeaven is God's and the Earth would be ours, if not for the Jews. Unforgiveable.\nNow, back in 1948, between 400,000 and 700,000 Arabsvacated their homes on the advice of their warring brethren from neighbouring lands. But, between 1948-72, 820,000 Jews were forcibly driven from their homes in the Arab countries, 200,000 finding refuge in Europe and North America, most of the others, in the State of Israel. The Muslims have sucked at the breast of the UN for 66 years whilst the Jews, from Day One, were fed and sheltered at the expense of their fellow Jews. And where are they now? Look for them and their children in the halls of academia, on the stage, in the hospitals, in the hi-tech milieu and in the Apollo Space Shuttle.\nThose vexatious Jews have pride and dignity! They make the rest of us feel bad whilst the Arabs are enough to make any of us feel good about ourselves.\nThere was a glimmer of light when I heard the State of Israel excoriated for being apartheid. Ah, a serious flaw, I thought, but was disappointed, for the Arabs of Israel have full citizenship and enjoy equal rights with their Jewish neighbours, in fact the Arabs of neighbouring countries receive free medical care in Jewish hospitals.\nAnd, as if this were not enough, in response to thousands of rockets lobbed from Gaza to Israel, Jews are putting their own young people at risk in a ground offensive in order to spare the lives of possibly innocent Palestinians. What\u2019s more, they actually drop thousands of leaflets to warn the Gazan citizenry to flee the area of an impending attack. Then, they fire a rubber warning missile to knock on the roof five minutes before the real one. Finally, if the women and children have not departed, the Israelis call off the strike.\nFurthermore, Israel have opened an emergency clinic near the battle zone to treat injured... Palestinians! This includes a gynecology unit. Isn\u2019t that childbirth?!\nAm I dreaming? Somebody pinch me.\nDuring the bombing of Dresden in 1945, it took a mere 3 days, to drop 3,900 tons of high explosives and incendiary (none of them rubber), destroying two-and-a-half square miles of the city centre and killing between 22,700 and 25,000 people, mainly civilians. Compare this with the 11 days which the Israelis have taken to kill 274 people, despite their having more powerful weaponry than we had in the 40s. The Israeli restraint is downright perplexing and irritating to the hypocrites in the UN.\nDid we warn Dresden? No, of course not! Was a dummy hydrogen bomb dropped in advance of the real one? No! Did we burn people, blow them to smithereens, starve them? Yes. And we didn\u2019t issue an apology to Germany or Japan for disproportionate warfare! War was war, and we insisted on ending it sooner rather than later. How do you respond to an enemy that vows to destroy you and your way of life, rape your wife and enslave your children? You kill 'em, that's what you do! And because we were all doing it, nobody felt bad about it.\nBut these irksome Jews, with their raising the bar ever higher, are attempting to civilise war itself, resisting the temptation to carpet bomb and visit hell on the enemy once and for all, relinquishing the crucial element of surprise by leafleteering and calling Palestinians on their cell phones first.\nAnd the torn metal from the missiles which land in Israel? Transformed into works of art to adorn your mantlepiece. They seek to bring order and civilisation right up to the gates of Gehenna itself. If it were possible, hell itself would be abolished by these sons of David.\nCol. Kemp, a British officer who served in all the major conflicts between 1977-2006, said of the Israelis, \"Based on my knowledge and experience, I can say this: during operation Cast Lead, the Israeli Defense Forces did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in the combat zones than any other army in the history of warfare.\"\nThe Jews are again leading the way to higher ground, making us uncomfortable with our double standards and our odious hypocrisy.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cI AM that I AM\u201d (Exodus 3:14).\n\u201cIndeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, \u2018The God of your fathers has sent me to you,\u2019 and they say to me, \u2018What is His name?\u2019 what shall I say to them?\u201d And God said to Moses, \u201cI AM that I AM\u201d (Exodus 3:13:14)\nOur son, Zac, is going back to the Bering Sea today. The boy we took every year to the Jennings Park Fishing Derby has graduated from trout to Opilio crab. He\u2019s now a crab fisherman \u2014 one of only 200 men who will be out there this season. How did this happen?\nI spend most of my days asking God, over and over, to line the edges of his boat with great big angels. This has a lot to do with Zac\u2019s parting comment to me on his last trip out, when I rose at 5:00 to hug him good-bye. As he was getting into the car, I said, \u201cHoney, don\u2019t forget to always wear your safety gear.\u201d He laughed and shook his head. \u201cMom, we don\u2019t have safety gear.\u201d\nI thought about the little-boy-he-was when I read today\u2019s devotional. Because all those years ago, when he was just a little older than his son is now, he asked me one day, \u201cMom, what is God\u2019s middle name?\u201d\nI laughed. \u201cI\u2019ve never thought about that. What do you think it is?\u201d\nWithout missing a beat, Zac answered. \u201cB. J.\u201d\n\u201cB. J?\u201d\n\u201cYes. His name is God B. J. King.\u201d\nOh, how I miss that four-year old boy.\n\u201cI AM.\u201d That\u2019s the answer God gave Moses, when Moses asked, \u201cWho should I say sent me?\u201d It\u2019s a hard name to get a grasp on unless you let yourself really think about it. God \u2026 is. There never was a time when He wasn\u2019t. Unlike us. There was a time when we weren\u2019t, and then a time when we were. We can say, \u201cI was this,\u201d or \u201cI will be that,\u201d because our life is about birth, and growth, and maturity, and death. But God? He simply \u2026 is.\nI find great comfort in that. I like God\u2019s \u201cI AM-ness.\u201d I honestly don\u2019t know how atheists get through a day, or people who have bought the big legend that \u201cSome material that was just out there kind of smashed together and produced life.\u201d I always want to sit those people down and say, \u201cLet\u2019s not go on until we\u2019ve settled the first question \u2014 that one you tried to breeze by. Where did all that material come from?\u201d They can\u2019t give an answer to that, of course. And that\u2019s because every one of us (atheists included) has an understanding that nothing just \u201cis.\u201d Nothing has the ability to wish itself into existence.\nSo I sleep very well at night resting on the knowledge that the I AM is watching over me \u2014 not the \u201cI was,\u201d or the \u201cI will be,\u201d but the I AM.\n\u201cI AM your shield\u201d (Genesis 15:1).\n\u201cI AM your exceedingly great reward\u201d (Genesis 15:1).\n\u201cI AM the Almighty God\u201d (Genesis 17:1).\n\u201cI AM the Lord who heals you\u201d (Exodus 15:26).\n\u201cI AM the Lord who sanctifies you\u201d (Exodus 31:13).\n\u201cI AM for you\u201d (Ezekiel 36:9).\n\u201cI AM your salvation\u201d (Psalm 35:3).\n\u201cI AM the Lord who makes all things\u201d (Isaiah 44:24).\n\u201cI AM the Lord, and there is none else\u201d (Isaiah 45:5).\n\u201cI AM your Savior\u201d (Isaiah 49: 26).\n\u201cI AM merciful\u201d (Jeremiah 3:12).\n\u201cI AM with you always\u201d (Matthew 28:20).\n\u201cI AM the bread of life\u201d (John 6:35,48,51).\n\u201cI AM the light of the world\u201d (John 8:12).\n\u201cI AM the door of the sheep\u201d (John 10:7,9).\n\u201cI AM the good shepherd\u201d (John 10:11,14).\n\u201cI AM the resurrection, and the life\u201d (John 11:25).\n\u201cI AM the way, the truth, and the life\u201d (John 14:6).\n\u201cI AM the true vine\u201d (John 15:1,5).\n\u201cI AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending\u201d (Revelation 1:8,11 ; 21:6).\n\u201cFear not; I AM the first and the last\u201d (Revelation 1:17).\n\u201cI AM the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star\u201d (Revelation 22:16).\nDebbie Maish\nLOVE, LOVE, LOVE this devotional this morning\u2026 the Great I AM.

        "raw_content": "Twins Minor League Starting Pitcher Of The Month - June 2018\nJul 01 2018 10:53 PM | Seth Stohs in Minor Leagues\nA day after naming the June 2018 Twins Daily Minor League Relief Pitcher of the Month yesterday, today we dive into some of the top starting pitcher performances during the month. There were a lot of good options. In fact, instead of the usual Top 5, we\u2019re doing a Top 6, and we also will include six more starters under the Honorable Mention category.\nJune 2018: See Below.\nBefore we share our choices for the Twins Minor League Top Five Starters for June, here are some terrific bullpen performances that just missed the cut.\nAndro Cutura - Ft. Myers Miracle - 4 GS, 23.1 IP, 1-2, 3.09 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 22 H, 7 BB, 23 K\nRandy Dobnak - Cedar Rapids Kernels - 5 G, 4 GS, 32.1 IP, 2-0, 2.78 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 34 H, 5 BB, 15 K\nBrusdar Graterol - Cedar Rapids Kernels - 3 GS, 16.0 IP, 1-1, 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 13 H, 3 BB, 15 K\nGriffin Jax - Ft. Myers Miracle - 5 G, 4 GS, 30.1 IP, 1-0, 3.26 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 34 H, 3 BB, 16 K.\nKohl Stewart - Chattanooga Lookouts - 4 GS, 24.1 IP, 1.48 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 27 H, 8 BB, 29 K\nLewis Thorpe - Chattanooga Lookouts - 5 GS, 28.1 IP, 3.81 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 24 H, 7 BB, 39 K\nTHE TOP SIX STARTING PITCHERS\n#6 - LHP Charlie Barnes - Ft. Myers Miracle - 5 GS, 2-0, 1.15 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 30.0 IP, 24 H, 11 BB, 20 K\nBarnes was the Twins fourth-round pick last year out of Clemson. The southpaw quickly moved from Elizabethton to Cedar Rapids. The Twins had him start the 2018 season in Ft. Myers. After posting ERAs over four in the first two months of the season, Barnes seemed to put things together in June. Opponents hit just .231/.328/.260 (587) against him. Barnes is just 22-years-old.\n#5 - RHP Jordan Balazovic - Cedar Rapids Kernels - 4 GS, 3-1, 2.74 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 23.0 IP, 22 H, 4 BB, 36 K\nBalazovic was the Twins\u2019 sixth-round pick in 2016 out of secondary school in Ontario. He impressed that season in the GCL, but he struggled at the same level in 2017. He had an impressive spring training and continued to pitch well at Extended Spring Training. He was promoted to Cedar Rapids after Memorial Day. He made one relief appearance and was sent back to Ft. Myers. Ten days later, he was back up and entered the Kernels rotation. He was very good in his four starts. 36 strikeouts and four walks is very impressive. That equates to 14.1 K/9. Opponents hit .250/.290/.386 (.677) against him during June. He will not turn 20 until mid-September.\n#4 - LHP Bryan Sammons - Cedar Rapids Kernels - 4 GS, 3-1, 2.67 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 27.0 IP, 23 H, 5 BB, 23 K\nIt was another solid month for the 23-year-old left-hander. He was the Twins eighth-round pick in 2017 out of Western Carolina. Last year, he pitched for Elizabethton and ended the season with Cedar Rapids. While he had a strong 2.67 ERA in June, he\u2019s got a 2.69 ERA on the season. He\u2019s been good, and he\u2019s been consistent. For the month, opponents hit .237/.272/.309 (.581) against him. While he doesn\u2019t throw real hard, he has plenty of velocity (low 90s) to go with strong secondary pitches. As important, he\u2019s got very good control.\n#3 - RHP Bailey Ober - Cedar Rapids Kernels - 4 GS, 3-0, 2.63 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 24.0 IP, 19 H, 3 BB, 27 K\nOber was the Twins 12th round draft pick in 2017 out of the College of Charleston where he was that national freshman of the year, but then he needed Tommy John surgery. He missed more time with other injuries. When healthy, the 6-8 right-hander has a lot of potential. He hyperextended his knee in spring training and stuck in Extended Spring for about six weeks. In his first start, he gave up six earned runs in just 2/3 of an inning. That certainly affected his season\u2019s ERA, but he was good in June. He limited base runners. A 9 to 1 strikeout to walk rate certainly helps. Opponents hit just .221/.247/.337 (.584) in June.\n#2- LHP Adalberto Mejia - Rochester Red Wings - 5 G, 4-1, 1.41 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 32.0 IP, 19 H, 8 BB, 30 K\nWhile his return to the big leagues on the final day of June didn\u2019t go great (though it was as good as any other Twins pitcher against the Cubs), Mejia earned his return to the big league club. It may have happened sooner for the 25-year-old if not for a blister earlier in the season. Opponents hit just .170/.223/.250 (.473) during the month. He went at least six innings in all five of his Red Wings starts. He gave up two run once. On his 25th birthday, he threw seven shutout innings. Mejia has earned an extended stay in the big leagues.\nFt. Myers Miracle - RHP Tyler Wells - 4 GS, 4-0, 1.63 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, 27.2 IP, 16 H, 5 BB, 25 K\nThe Twins drafted the 6-8 right-hander in the 15th round of the 2016 draft out of Cal State-San Bernadino. He pitched well at the end of that season in Elizabethton. He spent the 2017 season in Cedar Rapids where he posted a 5-3 record with a 3.11 ERA. In 75 1/3 innings, he walked 22 and struck out 92.\nHe\u2019s been even better in 2018 in Ft. Myers and earned his spot on the Florida State League All Star team. He\u2019s currently 7-3 with a 2.54 ERA over his first first 12 starts with the Miracle. He has given up more than two runs in just two of his 12 starts (and once he gave up three).\nHe was obviously very good in June. Opponents hit just .168/.210/.242 (.452) against him during the month. Not included in those stats (or the stats above) are the two scoreless innings that he threw in the All Star game as well.\nWells has the high and the pitches. He\u2019s got a good fastball that reaches into the mid-90s at time. He\u2019s got a couple of good breaking balls. He has a slow curveball that drops as well as a slider that darts out of the strike zone. He\u2019s also got an improving changeup. He\u2019s also shown a great work ethic. In the offseason, he worked out a lot and lost over 30 pounds.\nIt\u2019s possible that Wells will get an opportunity to end the season in Chattanooga with the Lookouts. For now, he\u2019s pitching really well with the Miracle and for it, he is our choice for Pitcher of the Month.\nCongratulations to our Twins Daily Minor League Starting Pitcher of the Month of June, Ft. Myers Miracle right-hander Tyler Wells.\nh2oface, dbminn, caninatl04 and 1 other like this\nTyler Wells looks to be a very deserving winner, congrats! Thanks for the write up. Also encouraging is the fact that for the most part these are not high draft picks.\nSome very impressive numbers from the last couple of years draft picks.\nOf the top six, Seth, who has the highest ceiling?Are any of these potentially #1 or #2 starters?\nI would think Balazovic may be.But that is based on a couple early starts where he was as good as anyone could hope for.Should he continue pitching like he has for the rest of the year, I would think he would be jumping up the rankings.\nbluechipper and RaymondLuxuryYacht like this\nI was thinking Wells should go to Chattanooga and they should put Stewart in the pen.Stewart has a pretty high WHIP and not a ton of K's.I think his suff will play up in the pen.\nA bummer not to see Gonsalves or Littell on the list.Would be nice to know they have conquered AAA and are ready for another challenge but they appear to be challenged right where they are for now.\nHow long does Wells have to keep being at the top of every league he\u2019s in before he gets to be a top 30 MLB team prospect?\nStewart's k/9 is 9.4 this season. A major improvement over his career numbers\nI'd say you might want to follow our Top 40 Twins prospects list which just started last night. Might just see him on the list...\nStewart is in Rochester now.\nStewart is finally getting the Ks... walk/hits seem a bit high. Not sure if that's adjustments he's making or what. He's always had the stuff.\nAlso worth noting he's a GB heavy pitcher. I wonder what how many of those hits are ones that woudlnt' get through in the majors.\nI like each of these guys as possible big leaguers. Mejia was a good prospect too who could become a 4 probably. I mean, any of these guys could be MLB starters. Any #1s? I mean, the odds of that are always very low. Graterol is probably the only Twins pitching prospect with true #1 upside. Lots of 3-ceilings... but again, hard to know which will be which. The old Corey Kluber wasn't ever a high prospect for Cleveland thing rings very true.\nthe 2017 draft looks pretty nice at this point. hopefully a sign that scouting, drafting, and development are figuring out out with the new FO.\nSeth, are these player of the week/month the official awards from the big club or from Twins Daily only?\nHeading down to Fort Myers. The time I\u2019m able to spend at the ballpark is always limited and varies, but hoping to see at least one of the two games being played at home this week ... #6 Barnes pitches Wednesday, #1 Wells pitches Thursday ... decisions, decisions ... if I can\u2019t get to both.\nFascinating.The players we know best are in the additional names and not the top six except for Mejia who has already peaked as far as I am concerned.He is a filler and therefore he will always look good in the minor leagues.\nNow Available! 2019 Minnesota Twins Prospect Handbook\n\u2192 Article: Twins Minor League Starting Pitcher Of The Month - June 2018",

        "raw_content": "Cavatina \u2013 a font for musical notation\nAlexis Luengas Posts: 36\nSeptember 2014 in Type Releases\nHi everybody! After two years of hard work in design and programming, I am proud to announce the release of Cavatina: an experimental font for musical notation.\nCavatina is my misuse (to put it nicely) of the OpenType font architecture, inspired by Travis Kochel's FF Chartwell. Similarly, the font relies on contextual alternates and ligatures to take care of the formatting and allow the support of a wide range of musical grammar. Among others, it is possible to write over four octaves of different notes, key and time signatures, barlines, accidentals, articulations as well as ornamentation, providing a system robust enough to allow fast musical composition. Additionally, I have written an open-source converter that translates the Cavatina text files to MIDI and MusicXML. A browser based text editor with integrated MIDI playback is also provided for the majority of those who don\u2019t have a Mac.\nWithout any further talk, go check out the website: cavatinafont.com.\nTo test the font you can go through the quick start. You don\u2019t have to be a musician to understand how it works.\nHave a look at it and tell me what you think!",

        "raw_content": "My first thought was to procure a collection of beautiful hand-tinted postcards from all over the world and write a single card to each of my friends in which the message described the setting on the other side of the postcard \u2013 a zoo, a large building in Singapore, eelgrass in Florida. etc. Such descriptions were often done in the heyday of hand-tinted postcards.\nMy second thought was to write to a number of different settings, using the other side of the card as my guide. I would send a drawing of the zoo to the zoo; a large building in Singapore to a large building in Singapore; a drawing of eelgrass to someone who is fond of drawing eelgrass. This would make people happy, or perhaps even startle them.\nMy third thought was to write about money on each postcard. Hand-tinted postcards are extremely expensive, and quite precious, but this seemed more difficult a choice to make: do I simply write the cost of the card on the back of it (EELGRASS: $4.59)? Do I write about the nature of money itself, and how odd it is to buys something because you love it, and then send it away from you to someone else, someone who may or may not like it, and who may or may not tell you if they did or didn\u2019t like it? Not everyone in high buildings in Singapore, for instance, likes high buildings in Singapore.\nI had a fourth and final thought, but it was less about what to do with postcards than it was to do with the act of writing and sending postcards: from my desk, I can see outside to the porch, and on the porch there is a vase of artificial flowers. I write my postcards with a plump pen and no eraser, even though I often make mistakes. When I finish a postcard I walk to the mailbox wearing tennis shoes.\nWalking to the mailbox takes about four minutes. The mailbox is red and blue with rust stains. The stabbing sound the mailbox makes when you release the handle sounds like a tuba. It\u2019s beautiful today. If it is raining, I do not go to the mailbox. I stay at home and write. I think about the rain and I write things like this: I love this postcard, the artificial flowers look beautiful in the rain, and at night these rain flowers seem to glow.\nRicky Garni has worked over the years as a teacher, wine merchant, musician, and graphic designer.

        "raw_content": "July 23, 2016 August 10, 2016 Samuel Velazquez\nWoody Allen is a restless soul. There\u2019s a self-professed impending sense of doom that aids his need to annually direct and write (but no longer star in) a film. This distinctive blend of output and quality, which had taken form in the late \u201870s and continued throughout the \u201880s, forever marked Allen as an American wunderkind who had a knack for assembling great films. But unlike the Rob Reiners of the world, Allen has worked well past his expiration date and now shares more in common with latter-day Judd Apatow \u2014 working off deeply established connections in the film industry and coasting on reputation.\nThe young Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) has stumbled into existential malaise as the son of a jeweler, seeking work which isn\u2019t stultifying but which is \u201csomething more,\u201d and he\u2019s entirely unsure of what that is. Quick vignettes that examine the lives of fellow family members \u2014 a gangster brother, bickering parents, an intellectual communist brother-in-law and a teacher-sister with a penchant for prose and punishment \u2014 breathe life into an otherwise static intro. Fortunately for him, he\u2019s got a bona fide success of an uncle \u2014 Hollywood agent Phil (Steve Carell). After shipping himself to the lush and liberally-watered hills of 1950s Hollywood, he finds himself patiently waiting for three weeks before ever meeting the man.\nWith nothing but free time and an empty motel room, he decides to call up a prostitute \u2014 bumbling along his preferences when asked over the phone \u2014 but the scene feels clumsier than the call. The prostitute arrives late and her wet-eared nervousness combines with Bobby\u2019s neuroses to out her as a newcomer on the job. Eisenberg soon starts delivering traditional hollow post \u201880s Allenese \u2014 quips on Jewish customs and high speed non-defenses \u2014 that are no more than a hollow exercise in Allen\u2019s prolific ability to write. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing sexy about a transaction,\u201d Bobby yells the film\u2019s thesis in the contractually required faux Woody Allen impression, and he\u2019s damn right.\nThe intersection between romance and practicality sets the stage for this year\u2019s version of Allen\u2019s signature brand of cuckolded writer/director/intellectual/New Yorker who fights through life\u2019s menagerie of winners and cheaters with preloaded complaints and little pluck in his step. However, the glory of nepotism and guilt soon work their power as Bobby becomes his uncle\u2019s assistant \u2014 quickly becoming a master at completing remedial tasks. Phil tasks agency assistant Vonnie (Kristen Stewart) with driving Bobby around town to get a feel for it. While the two gentle souls are delivering exposition like they lay on their deathbed, they begin to fall for each other. Vonnie simultaneously reveals and deflates her thespian dreams on the drive through Beverly Hills, rousing support from the ever-charmed Bobby. As the day winds down and they arrive at a quaint Mexican restaurant, Bobby reveals his feelings and Vonnie reveals she has a journalist boyfriend.\nBut much to our surprise in this romantic comedy, their love is soon allowed to blossom when Vonnie runs to Bobby after a devastating barside breakup, as cinematographer Vittorio Storaro\u2019s sumptuous browns and deep oranges fill the screen like an oil fresco.\nVonnie and Bobby make the most of the present, rollicking on the beach and going to daily dinner dates, but flail around when dealing with the prospects of their future. Professional and personal ambitions are a constant threat to the state of what seems to be a provisional if passionate relationship. The cuts to the lives of Bobby\u2019s family in New York usually provide some quick laughs, whether it be over the parents crudely quantifying how Jewish the other is or his sister and brother-in-law trying to reason with a neighbor who isn\u2019t quite neighborly, but his gangster brother Ben (Corey Stoll) feels lifted from another film. Each of his scenes, save for a sidesplitting final appearance, serves no end but to tonally clash and distract from the main plot threads.\nHaving one\u2019s name beside \u201cWoody Allen\u201d on the marquis must feel like little more than just another mark on the checklist to be recognized as a Hollywood heavyweight, but there is certainly a level of legitimacy granted that a few of them seem to be striving for \u2014 namely Kristen Stewart and Steve Carell. Despite working with directors like Olivier Assayas and Bennett Miller, the actors have largely failed to gain the respect and recognition that \u201cserious\u201d actors receive. In spite of this hunger (or because of it), the deep bench of talent in the film makes for what feels like the cinematic equivalent of a B squad. Yet there\u2019s no weak performance, with each actor putting his or her best into this film \u2014 a performer\u2019s showcase that will best serve as padding in Oscar submission reels. Stewart and Eisenberg channel the chemistry that served them well in 2009\u2019s \u201cAdventureland,\u201d continuing to impress their youthful but cynical posturing. Carrel doesn\u2019t have as meaty a role, but manages to snake his way into the audience\u2019s heart with a sincerity that has buoyed him since the days of Michael Scott.\nThe film loses whatever momentum it had two-thirds of the way through, squandering whatever charm and agency it had for an ill-advised return to New York. Despite Allen\u2019s fascination with the Big Apple, he must have failed to take note of what a New York minute is, because the final third of the movie is a slog. The atmosphere is 50 percent bravado and 50 percent second-hand smoke, condensing into platitudes that begin to rain down as Bobby becomes a successful nightclub owner who has everything but the thing he truly wants \u2014 love.\nHalf-boring, half-fascinating. There\u2019s a good film rolling around in the bloated shell of \u201cCaf\u00e9 Society,\u201d but the predictability that Allen has fallen prey to makes it hard to see the pieces as anything but rearranged shards of his greater films.\nStarring: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Steve Carell, Corey Stoll, Parker Posey\nImage Courtesy of Cinemaholics\nAdventureland Beverly Hills Big Apple Caf\u00e9 Society California Corey Stoll Drama Film Hollywood Jazz Jesse Eisenberg Judd Apatow Kristen Stewart movie New York Parker Posey Period Piece review Rob Reiner Romance Romantic Comedy Steve Carell Thespian Vittorio Storaro Woody Allen\nFilm Review: \u201cGhostbusters\u201d\nConcert Review: Ducktails\nOne thought on \u201cFilm Review: \u201cCaf\u00e9 Society\u201d\u201d\nActors of fully Jewish background: Logan Lerman, Natalie Portman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mila Kunis, Bar Refaeli, James Wolk, Anton Yelchin, Paul Rudd, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Julian Morris, Adam Brody, Kat Dennings, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Erin Heatherton, Lisa Kudrow, Lizzy Caplan, Gal Gadot, Debra Messing, Jason Isaacs, Jon Bernthal, Robert Kazinsky, Melanie Laurent, Esti Ginzburg, Shiri Appleby, Justin Bartha, Margarita Levieva, Elizabeth Berkley, Halston Sage, Seth Gabel, Corey Stoll, Mia Kirshner, Alden Ehrenreich, Debra Winger, Eric Balfour, Emory Cohen, Scott Mechlowicz, Odeya Rush, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy.\nAndrew Garfield and Aaron Taylor-Johnson are Jewish, too (though I don\u2019t know if both of their parents are).\nActors with Jewish mothers and non-Jewish fathers: Jake Gyllenhaal, Dave Franco, James Franco, Scarlett Johansson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Daniel Radcliffe, Alison Brie, Eva Green, Joaquin Phoenix, River Phoenix, Emmy Rossum, Ryan Potter, Rashida Jones, Jennifer Connelly, Sofia Black D\u2019Elia, Nora Arnezeder, Goldie Hawn, Ginnifer Goodwin, Amanda Peet, Eric Dane, Jeremy Jordan, Joel Kinnaman, Ben Barnes, Patricia Arquette, Kyra Sedgwick, Dave Annable, and Harrison Ford (whose maternal grandparents were both Jewish, despite those Hanukkah Song lyrics).\nActors with Jewish fathers and non-Jewish mothers, who themselves were either raised as Jews and/or identify as Jews: Ezra Miller, Gwyneth Paltrow, Alexa Davalos, Nat Wolff, Nicola Peltz, James Maslow, Josh Bowman, Winona Ryder, Michael Douglas, Ben Foster, Jamie Lee Curtis, Nikki Reed, Zac Efron, Jonathan Keltz, Paul Newman.\nOh, and Ansel Elgort\u2019s father is Jewish, though I don\u2019t know how Ansel was raised.

        "raw_content": "Meeting land owners about the proposed water pipeline route\nGOOD NEIGHBOURS: The Gillett family of Brandon and Cressfield Stud General Manager Wayne Bedggood were amongst the first to sign access agreements to build the much needed water pipeline to Murrurundi.\nUpper Hunter Shire Council is contacting land owners along the proposed route for the $14 million water pipeline from Scone to Murrurundi.\nThe 40-kilometre pipeline corridor will cross road reserves, crown land, land owned by the Australian Rail Track Corporation and some privately owned land.\nCouncil\u2019s Director of Infrastructure Services Alan Fletcher said the proposed pipeline route is generally located in road reserves, but where access is needed to private land, Council will meet with property owners.\n\u201cCouncil has written to 29 property owners along the proposed pipeline route to give them information about the project and seek a convenient time for a meeting at their property,\u201d Mr Fletcher said.\n\u201cWhere temporary access to private land is required for construction, Council\u2019s Pipeline Project Team is meeting with land owners to establish appropriate Access Agreements.\n\u201cThe purpose of these meetings will be to exchange information between Council staff and landholders, and to record any requirements landholders may have for any future access arrangements. It is not expected that any formal access arrangements will be finalised at the first meeting,\u201d Mr Fletcher added.\nIt has been noted that access may be needed to additional properties, even in instances where the pipeline itself may not be crossing onto those properties.\nThe proposed pipeline route was chosen by Council staff and consultants with the aims of minimising the impact on the environment, allowing for cost effective construction and staying as close as possible to existing boundary fences. The pipeline\u2019s concept design was created by NSW Public Works. There may be changes to the route as a result of further assessments including geo-technical investigations and the Review of Environmental Factors, which will be completed later this year. The proposed pipeline corridor is mostly adjacent to the western side of the New England Highway.\nConstruction is expected to commence in 2017 and be completed in 2020, providing a much-needed secure water supply for Murrurundi.\nThe project is being provided with $11.5 million in funding from the NSW Government through the Restart NSW Water Security for Regions program, $1.5 million from the NSW Government Country Towns Water Supply and Sewage Program and $1 million from Upper Hunter Shire Council through borrowed funds.\nMember for Upper Hunter Michael Johnsen said the NSW Government is committed to securing essential water and wastewater infrastructure for regional communities.\n\u201cThis pipeline will draw water from Lake Glenbawn to Murrurundi Reservoir, providing a more secure source of water for an area that is regularly affected by droughts and inconsistent river flows,\u201d Mr Johnsen said.",

        "raw_content": "Watch excerpts from the updated 2016 version.\nOriginal 2012 version designated a New York Times Critics' Pick\nNarrated by Mike Farrell, the documentary film Valentino\u2019s Ghost exposes the way America\u2019s foreign policy agenda in the Middle East influences Hollywood and mainstream corporate media portrayals of Arabs and Muslims. Premiering at the Venice Film Festival, Italy, to a standing ovation, Valentino\u2019s Ghost tracks the transition from the Arab as Romantic Hero to the Arab today as the embodiment of evil.\nWhy do supremely talented artists and intellectuals in America consider it perfectly \u201crealistic\u201d to depict Arabs and Muslims in a fashion that would be described as bigoted, if applied to blacks, Jews, gays, Native Americans, et al?\nThe 100-minute film features fresh, riveting and often stunning perspectives from the legendary late American writer Gore Vidal; John Mearsheimer, author of \u201cThe Israel Lobby\u201d,celebrated British war correspondent Robert Fisk, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Anthony Shadid, Harvard and Oxford historian Niall Ferguson, historian Melani McAlister, TV star Tony Shalhoub, media expert Jack Shaheen, and Hollywood writer Alan Sharp,\nThey take viewers into wild, uncharted waters, analyzing Hollywood as a hotbed of ethnic bigotry and an obedient servant of Washington; the Charlie Hebdo cartoons as hate speech; Israel\u2019s deadly invasion of Gaza in 2014 as a war crime; ISIS as less brutal than The American Armed Forces; and American Sniper as foremost a vehicle of ethnic hatred towards Arabs and Muslims.\nBiting social commentary by comics Maz Jobrani, Aron Kader and Ahmed Ahmed ensure that the documentary maintains a constant flow of astonishing and eye-opening revelations.\nYou may not agree with every observation in Michael Singh\u2019s documentary Valentino\u2019s Ghost. But this engrossing examination of American perceptions of Arabs and the Arab world gets you thinking\u2026.\nAndy Webster, The New York Times\nValentino's Ghost is both sobering and illuminating, and its execution is thrilling.\nErnest Hardy, The Village Voice\nPROVOCATIVE \u2026 ABSORBING ...Singh's critical views on Israel and Washington's staunch protection of that country's image will likely set some viewers' teeth on edge.\nGary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times\nA valuable work that digs well beyond commonplace observations \u2026\nValentino\u2019s Ghost exposes widespread bigotry and the deliberate shaping of a narrative against Arabs while also providing considerable insights into why American foreign policy continues to fail in an important part of the world.\nPhilip Giradi, former CIA officer and exec director, Council for the National Interest, Wash, D.C.\nBrilliant. Valentino's Ghost is a crystal-clear distillation of voluminous evidence from movies, televangelism, and network news, documenting the subtle interplay of popular, religious, and political culture.\nTamara Sonn, Professor of Humanities, College of William and Mary\nThe Palestine Center in Washington, DC screened on Feb. 5 what this viewer believes is the decade\u2019s most important film: \u201cValentino\u2019s Ghost: Why We Hate Arabs\u201d (2015), followed by a Skype conversation with director Michael Singh. The extraordinary 95-minute documentary uses historic news clips and scenes from Hollywood films to trace the way mainstream media and Hollywood have falsely stereotyped Arabs, the Nakba and American wars in the Middle East. Speakers show how Israel has become \u201cthe little country that could,\u201d while Palestine is now somehow \u201cmisplaced.\u201d\nwww.washingtonreport.me/2016-march-april/music-arts-valentinos-ghost-a-must-see-film.html\nDelinda C.

        "title": "Seniority Plates \u2013 The Virginia Conservative",
        "raw_content": "Seniority Plates\nPhoto from Senator Dick Black\u2019s Facebook page\nThis morning, Senator Dick Black (R-Loudoun) announced on Facebook that he has received new license plates for his vehicle. Each member of the General Assembly is assigned a plate so that their vehicles can be identified easily. If you see a car on the road that bears the tag \u201c22 Senator\u201d, then you have likely found Senator Black (or someone who has absconded with his property).\nHowever, given that Senator Black represents the 13th senate district of Virginia, it might seem curious that he bears the number 22 instead of 13. Bizarrely, this numbering system has nothing to do with district number and instead is based upon seniority. Thus, of the 40 members of Virginia\u2019s State Senate, 21 have served longer than Senator Black.\nHowever, should a senator or a delegate resign his or her office, die, or lose an election, then new license plates will need to be issued to every elected official with less time served than the outgoing member in order to properly reflect this update in seniority. Depending on how long he or she has been in office, this change could result in a lot of new plates, especially in a large group, like in the hundred member Virginia House of Delegates.\nOn the Republican primary day in 2015, while volunteering at the polls, I spoke to Delegate Mark Berg (R-Winchester) about this issue. I observed that although he represented the 29th House of Delegates district, his license plate number was not \u201c29 Delegate\u201d. He agreed that the numbering scheme didn\u2019t make much sense and offered to sponsor a bill in the 2016 General Assembly session so that the legislators\u2019 plate numbers matched their respective district number. Unfortunately, the bill didn\u2019t materialize as Delegate Berg was defeated in the GOP primary.\nSure, there are certainly more important issues than license plate numbers. But, do we really want to \u201creward\u201d legislators to try and stay in office as long as possible in order to gain a coveted low number? We don\u2019t renumber legislative districts every year or two when a new delegate or senator acquires office so why in the world should we craft and re-craft so many license plates based upon something the average Virginian would think is so trivial, like seniority? It may not be the biggest cost savings technique, but if we assigned license plates based upon legislative districts I\u2019m certain we wouldn\u2019t print as many. Of course redistricting happens too, but it typically comes up once every ten years as a result of the census, not nearly as frequently as either elections to the House (every 2 years) or Senate (every 4 years).\nSo, isn\u2019t it better to distribute license plates based upon district numbers instead of seniority? I\u2019m pretty sure that the state government could save at least a few tax dollars by not replacing a multitude of perfectly good plates every two or four years.\nCategoriesPolitical Musings TagsDick Black, Mark Berg, Virginia General Assembly\nPrevious PostPrevious Goodlatte Faces Opposition\nNext PostNext Jerry Mandering for Delegate",

        "title": "Arnold de Lantins - New World Encyclopedia",
        "raw_content": "Previous (Arnold Schoenberg)\nNext (Arnold of Brescia)\nArnold de Lantins (1420s - July 2, 1432) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the late Medieval era. He was one of a few composers who showed aspects of both Medieval and the new stylism of the Renaissance era, and was a contemporary of Guillaume Dufay during that composer's sojourn in Italy.\nArnold de Lantins lived during the time when the church struggled with composers who preferred to write for full sacred ensembles. The Catholic Church felt that such music should only accompany the religious services in a prudent and quiet way while the composers preferred to feature the organ, other instruments, and choruses in a soloist and vibrant manner. This disharmony did not last long, for the Roman Catholic Church lost much of its power in the Renaissance period due to the rise of the Protestant Reformation led by Martin Luther. Thus Arnold de Lantins could write the full polyphonic music for sacred and secular services and events, which included much florid composing for the large choruses and instrumental ensembles without angering the Catholic Church. Very often, religious ideas created barriers which stood in the way of a peaceful resolution. In this instance, the fall of the unity of Christendom because of the Reformation became the bridge towards a cooperation by the Church and the polyphonic composers to create the vibrant compositions which were featured in the Renaissance era.\nVery little is known about his life, except for a few years in the 1420s to around 1430. It is presumed that he was from Flanders or adjacent areas. In the early 1420s he was probably in the service of the Malatesta family in either Rimini or Pesaro, since Guillaume Dufay mentioned him in the text of a rondeau which was written between 1420 and 1424. Lantins was in Venice in 1428, and Rome in 1431, in the latter city as a singer in the papal chapel choir, along with Dufay. He was only in Rome six months; after that he disappears from history. Rome was entering a period of turmoil related to the Conciliar movement after the death, in February 1431, of Pope Martin V; many musicians left at that time or shortly after, and Lantins may have been one of them.\nIt is not known for certain if Arnold de Lantins was a relative of Hugo de Lantins, a composer active at the same time, but since their works often appear together in collections and they seem to have been in the same geographical regions, it is not unlikely. (A sharp stylistic difference between the works of the two composers shows they can not be the same person.) A composite mass appearing in the manuscript Bologna Q15 contains movements written by Arnold, evidently written to augment preexisting movements written by Johannes Ciconia. Several other examples exist of composers adding movements to partial masses written by other composers; for example, Zacara da Teramo.\nArnold's music was held in high regard, and appears alongside that of Dufay, Gilles Binchois, and Johannes Ciconia in contemporary manuscript collections. In particular, one motet\u2014Tota pulchra es\u2014is found in widely distributed sources; since this was before advent of printing technology, wide distribution of copies is taken as evidence of a composer's fame and popularity. He also wrote at least one complete mass, as well as several parts of a composite mass (the remaining portions were written, not necessarily at the same time, by Ciconia). Musically they are fairly simple, using three voices, head motif technique, and avoiding imitative writing. Some of his other sacred music, such as his Marian motets, contain florid melodic writing and some use of imitation.\nHe also wrote secular music, including ballads and rondeaux, all of which are in French, as well as a few shorter sacred pieces. Some of them refer to specific events or specific people, but none of either have been conclusively identified.\nArnold de Lantins, Missa Verbum Incarnatum, Ricercar CD RIC 207, sung by the Capilla Flamenca Psallentes.\nListen to a free recording of a song from Ume\u00e5 Akademiska K\u00f6r.

Stoddard (1896-1967) entered into partnership with his father, Lewis M. Stoddard, following his graduation from the University of Illinois. Following his father\u2019s death in 1929, he practiced alone until 1955, and then practiced in partnership with Francis Huggard. He designed larger homes, as well as apartment buildings, clinics, banks and other commercial structures. His best known works are Memorial Stadium at Seattle Center (1947) and the Green Lake Aqua Theater (1950). The Seville Building has had many uses over the years. It was a warehouse in the 1930s, and a store in the 1950s, with alterations by Bittman Adams and Sanders. It was probably at this time that the first floor windows were enlarged for display purposes. In 1962 it was reconfigured into classrooms for a school. It alter became a computer supply office and warehouse, restaurant and various office uses. Most alterations affected only the interior.\nThis two-story building is of brick construction with stucco cladding on the front fa\u00e7ade. It has a dramatic recessed entry, with an ornate Spanish Revival-style cast stone surround below an arched window with a wrought iron balcony. The entry bay projects about a foot; the parapet is decorated with two large triangular cast stone medallions. The first floor display windows have been somewhat modernized Second story windows are the original 6-over-3 wood sash. The first floor originally had similar windows, but these have been enlarged into display windows.\nDetail for 2226 3rd AVE / Parcel ID 0694000105 / Inv #\nStructural System: Clay Tile No. of Stories: two\nPhoto collection for 2226 3rd AVE / Parcel ID 0694000105 / Inv #",

        "title": "Train Travel in Italy: Wheelchair Access - wheelchairtraveling.com",
        "raw_content": "This article is based on Italian train trips we\u2019ve taken in 2014, 2012, 2009, 2006, 2005 and 2003. In 2014 and 2012 Howard traveled in his Permobil, which weighs around 325 pounds (148 kg) and is around 26 inches (66 cm) wide and with the footrest in the shortened position, 48 inches (1.22 meters) long. Howard is 6 feet (1.83 meters) tall and, when seated in his Permobil he\u2019s 57 inches (1.45 meters) high. On our previous trips Howard used a Quickie P110 power chair that weighed around 100 pounds (45 kg) and had manually adjustable footrests.\nItaly has an extensive system of intercity passenger trains serving major cities, medium-size ones and even small towns, with coverage far more extensive than in the United States. Trenitalia is the national intercity train operator. The equipment ranges from sleek, modern, high-speed Eurostar and Frecciarossa coaches to clunky, antiquated, slow trains serving regional routes. Train travel in Italy for passengers in wheelchairs has been steadily improving, although of course there are still limitations and obstacles. Making the system accessible to passengers who use wheelchairs is a complex challenge considering how extensive the system is; how long it had been in place before widespread awareness of the need for wheelchair access; and the complexity, variety and age of the trains, stations and other infrastructure, especially the fact that the platforms are low while the trains and their doorways are high.\nOur train travel has been of two types: sightseeing day trips without luggage, where the consequences of a glitch are fairly minor; and trips with luggage to get from one city where we\u2019ve stayed to another. We\u2019ve certainly had more stressful situations and frustrating moments then we wished, but despite them, taking the train is a fast, economical (considering the cost of car rental and gas), reliable, pleasant and often scenic way to travel from city to city. Navigating the train system in a wheelchair takes planning, patience and flexibility, but things keep improving \u2013 each trip has been smoother than the previous ones.\nIn 2014 we took the Frecciarossa from Naples to Florence, and from Florence to Rome. From Naples to Florence took just under three hours, and from Florence to Rome an hour and a half. Speeds reached close to 150 mph, and the ride was scenic, enjoyable and impressively smooth.\nReservations, Ticketing and Accessible Routes\nWheelchair passengers must reserve an accessible space on the train at least 24 hours in advance by email, phone or in person at the \u201cSala Blu\u201d (Blue Room) (marked with the blue wheelchair logo) at the departure station. Stations in 14 major cities have Blue Rooms. The Blue Rooms are operated by RFI, a contractor, not directly by Trenitalia.\nIt\u2019s important to be aware that reserving a seat (in the case of a wheelchair passenger, a space) on a particular train isn\u2019t the same as purchasing a ticket. When you check in at the Blue Room at your departure station (see below), you must have tickets in hand, so unless you\u2019ve already purchased them, you need to arrive more than 30 minutes before departure in order to go to the ticket counter and purchase your tickets. Usually passengers in wheelchairs are allowed to go to the front of the line, but don\u2019t count on it. Sometimes in smaller cities we\u2019ve been able to purchase tickets at the Blue Room and didn\u2019t need to go to the ticket counter, and other times a Blue Room employee accompanied us to the ticket counter and helped us buy tickets. In 2014, for the first time ever, we were able to reserve seats and purchase tickets online, but only for the Naples to Florence trip.\nIf your plans are solid and you are able to reserve seats and purchase tickets in advance, that\u2019s the best way to go. There is no penalty for cancelling a seat reservation. We don\u2019t know about ticket refund or exchange policies. But even if you don\u2019t purchase tickets in advance, whether because of the limitations of the system or because you don\u2019t want to commit funds, it\u2019s highly advisable to reserve seats.\nIn 2014 the reservation and ticket purchase process was the smoothest ever. Months in advance of our trip, we emailed the Naples Blue Room to reserve seats from Naples to Florence, and the Florence Blue Room to reserve seats from Florence to Rome. We were able to do this because we had our hotel reservations in each city and our plans were definite. The Naples Blue Room advised us first to go on the Trenitalia website and set up an account, which Howard did. The program is called CartaFRECCIA, and it\u2019s easy to sign up in English. For certain fields, such as address and telephone number in Italy, Howard made something up. You will receive a \u201cpersonal code,\u201d which is an account number.\nAfter setting up the account, Howard emailed the Naples Blue Room and told them his personal code. They emailed back to confirm the seat reservation and instructed him to go on the Trenitalia website, where he logged on and found that the seats had been reserved under his account, and he was then able to purchase and print the tickets. This was set up in English, and it was easy to do the transaction. So when we arrived in the Naples Blue Room on the travel date, we had our printed tickets and didn\u2019t have to buy them. On the train you will need to have your tickets available to show the conductor.\nInterestingly, the Florence Blue Room was unaware of this procedure. They confirmed the seat reservation by email, but told us it was impossible to purchase tickets for wheelchair seating in advance. So we purchased them at the Florence train station on the travel date. Howard was taken to the front of the line. We didn\u2019t get the advance purchase discount, but we were charged second class fare for first class seats. (If you\u2019ve reserved a wheelchair space but haven\u2019t purchased tickets in advance, as in this case, the space will be held for you and not assigned to anyone else. If you change plans, it\u2019s important to cancel your reservation so the space can be made available to another wheelchair user.)\nSeat reservations are required for passengers in wheelchairs because not all trains have spaces for wheelchairs (over 350 trains do, according to the Trenitalia website), and those that do have only a few because only certain cars have wheelchair spaces. The trains with no wheelchair spaces are mainly the slower regional and local ones. On trains where the only accessible cars are in first class, which seems to be the case with the Frecciarossa and Eurostar trains, wheelchair passengers are charged second class fare. Seating for one companion is available next to the wheelchair space; when reserving a wheelchair space, you can also reserve a companion seat. The discount for the wheelchair passenger is also available for the companion.\nTo sum up, there are two types of discounts. First, there is a discount for passengers in wheelchairs (and their companions) when the only accessible car is in first class. (We don\u2019t know the extent of disability required to qualify; for example, whether someone using crutches would be eligible.) Second, a discount is available to anyone who purchases tickets in advance. In 2014 we were able to get both discounts for the Naples to Florence trip, which amounted to a huge savings, but only the wheelchair discount for the Florence to Rome trip, which was still a significant savings.\nUnderstandably, if you are traveling with a third person, they aren\u2019t eligible for a companion discount. Immediately after we received our reservations for Howard and Michele\u2019s seats, we went on the Trenitalia website and purchased a seat in the same car for our traveling companion, which was expensive because it was a first class seat at regular price. But his ticket was eligible for the advance purchase discount, and reserving his seat ensured that we\u2019d all be in the same car.\nItalian travel agencies sell train tickets, so theoretically you can reserve a wheelchair space and purchase tickets at a travel agency anywhere in Italy, but we\u2019ve tried this and the travel agencies didn\u2019t know how to handle accessible seating. It\u2019s best to avoid travel agencies for train reservations.\nIt appears from our research that all or almost all of the fast trains between major cities have accessible spaces. But many of the trains serving smaller cities and towns are not accessible \u2013 for some places, only a subset of the trains is accessible. This is a major drawback because it means that passengers in wheelchairs have only a limited choice of departure times available to them. In 2009 we took day trips from Bologna to Ravenna, Ferrara and Parma, and for all three cities had to choose between leaving Bologna at 9 AM or close to noon. There were departures between those times, but those trains were not equipped with wheelchair spaces. These limitations also preclude flexibility and spontaneity on these types of routes, making it difficult or impossible to change plans at the last minute (other than canceling a trip).\nIn other places the train station isn\u2019t accessible, so none of the trains is available to passengers in wheelchairs. We\u2019d heard that a day trip to Orvieto from Rome is worthwhile and enjoyable, but Trenitalia told us the Orvieto station is not accessible. (Ironically, the funicular in Orvieto does appear to be accessible.) Similarly, only the central train station in Pisa is accessible, not the one close to Piazza dei Miracoli, where the Duomo, Leaning Tower and Camposanto are located.\nPassengers in wheelchairs must check in at the Blue Room at least 30 minutes before departure, tickets in hand. An employee will accompany you to the tracks. Always check in at the Blue Room; don\u2019t just show up at the tracks and assume someone will be there to help.\nIn Rome, Naples and some of the other large cities, the main train station (e.g. Roma Termini and Napoli Centrale) is a terminus and all of the tracks can be reached directly from the station lobby without an elevator. But in some of the smaller cities there is a passageway under the tracks; depending on one\u2019s train, it may be necessary to go through the passageway to reach the particular tracks. In these stations there are elevators from the front of the station down to the passageway and throughout the passageway to each set of tracks. In our experience the elevators have never been out of service. Depending on the station and the time, some elevators are open to the public and others are operated only by Trenitalia employees. But because wheelchair passengers must check in at the Blue Room and be accompanied to the tracks by an employee, the elevator will be operated by an employee regardless of what time it is.\nWheelchair passengers are boarded from the platform to the train by a motorized lift. Another reason reservations are required is so Trenitalia can ensure availability of the lift and employees to operate it. In large cities where the station is a terminus, getting on and off the train isn\u2019t rushed, but in small ones the train stops for only a few minutes and the process can be quite harried. Be sure to organize and watch your luggage.\nThe lift is on wheels and the employee moves it along the platform, aligning it with the train door. There is a folding ramp at each end of the lift \u2013 one is used to mount/dismount the lift from the platform, and the other to enter/exit the train. According to the Trenitalia website, wheelchairs up to the following dimensions and loaded weight can be accommodated: 27\u00bd inches (70 cm) wide, 47.2 inches (120 cm) long, and 440 pounds (200 kg) loaded weight. (These dimensions are per the ISO 7193 standard.) But some of the lifts we encountered from 2003 through 2009 were narrower and shorter than the stated dimensions. Often there was almost no room to spare on the sides or lengthwise, and Howard\u2019s footrests had to be shortened to the shortest position. We took several trips from Bologna in 2009 and lifts of different sizes were used, which created some difficult situations.\nIn 2012 we were concerned that Howard\u2019s Permobil wouldn\u2019t fit; it\u2019s slightly longer than the maximum prescribed length and, including Howard\u2019s weight, heavier than the maximum weight (we won\u2019t say by how much!). But in the event, weight was not a problem. When we departed from Rome the lift was adequate size, but when we returned to Rome there was a different lift and Howard\u2019s wheelchair just barely fit with no room to spare, his tires scraping the sides of the ramp. Both times in Naples the lift was brand-new and wider, and there was plenty of room.\nIn 2014 there was plenty of room for Howard\u2019s Permobil on all of the lifts \u2013 in Naples, Florence and Rome. Weight was never a problem; the lift motor did not seem to be straining. It appears that the older, smaller lifts are being replaced with larger ones throughout the system.\nAlthough many years ago we had heard that passengers in electric wheelchairs are required to transfer to a train seat or a manual wheelchair on the train, Howard has never been asked to do this, always remaining in his wheelchair. First class is very spacious; second class, while not quite as large, had ample room for his wheelchair. In both classes there is always a medium size accessible bathroom near the wheelchair space.\nConclusion and Information\nIn conclusion, procedures vary from one station to another and even from one employee to another. This is Italy, after all, so actual practice isn\u2019t necessarily the same as official policy. It\u2019s essential to check everything carefully. Be patient and allow plenty of time. While there is sometimes disorganization and inconsistency, the fortunate bottom line is that Trenitalia is committed to wheelchair access, the employees are doing their best, everything works out in the end, and things are continually improving on the major routes and in the major stations. The main drawbacks are that the stations in many of the smaller cities and towns are inaccessible, and for the smaller cities and towns that do have accessible stations, only some of the trains are accessible. These conditions are likely to improve only slowly.\nTrenitalia has an English-language website with detailed information for passengers with disabilities. From the homepage, go to \u201cInformation and Contacts\u201d at the top of the page and PRM (passengers with reduced mobility) is one of the choices on the dropdown menu. Or go to \u201cBefore Travelling\u201d at the bottom, and \u201cAssistance to PRM\u201d is one of the categories. From the PRM homepage there is a link to \u201cSala Blu\u201d with contact information for disability services for stations throughout Italy.\nWe should mention that, over the course of planning trips over many years, we\u2019ve always received prompt email replies in English from Trenitalia and the Blue Rooms, typically within 24 hours. This webpage is in English for passengers with reduced mobility (PRM).\nThe Italian language webpages have more detailed access information. Find PMR (persone a mobilita ridotta). Wheelchair is sedia a rotelle. Here is a link to the page with information about wheelchair dimensions. Trenitalia national helpline for disabled passengers (from within Italy only): Phone: 199-30-30-60. General passenger information (from within Italy only): 199-892-021. Rome Blue Room can provide information by phone about access throughout the system. From abroad call: +39-06-4730-8579.\nRandy Sue Katz\nWe will be in Italy in April-May, 2019.

        "raw_content": "Author Info: Dean (Exton, PA - USA)\nIt was a typical September morning in Pittsburgh and I was playing a round of golf at Schenley Park Golf Course, which from any view on the course I could see my work place, the Cathedral of Learning on the campus of the University of Pittsburgh. I was just about finishing my round and I got a phone call from my wife saying something terrible has happened and that a plane had wrecked into one of the World Trade Center towers. My first thoughts were that a small aircraft probably got too close and couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t avoid hitting the tower. My wife then said something about terrorist and she has was so worried about me and my safety and she begged me to go home and to get out of the open where a plane could possibly hit me. I began to panic and I remember saying to myself that I have to get home and be safe, and to get out of harms way.\nIt was my late night to work at the College of General Studies at Pitt so I went home to shower and listened to the new reports coming in about the tragedy that was unfolding before the American public on TV. When I saw the first images of the jet liner hitting the first tower I got so scared and wondered what the hell was going on, and is this really happening. As reports continued that other commercial aircraft were being hijacked, and in route to unknown destinations, I became paralyzed with fear. My wife worked in a tall building in downtown Pittsburgh and rumors were flying around that a jet liner was headed for Pittsburgh with a possible target being the US Steel Tower in downtown Pittsburgh, only a few blocks from where my wife worked. I freaked!\nI lived only a couple of blocks from the Cathedral of Learning and as I started my walk to work I looked up at the sky and saw nothing and heard nothing. How silent the skies were and it seemed so surreal that nothing was in the air and no aircraft where to be seen or heard\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6silent skies! I kept thinking how eerie not to hear or see any jets, helicopters, or piper cubs flying overhead. Pittsburgh International Airport is only 30 minutes from downtown, and the Allegheny County Airport was only 15 minutes from downtown, and to not see or hear any air traffic was unsettling.\nWhen I arrived at work my colleagues where besides themselves and at that time everyone was still so unsure about what was really going on as the new reports continued to roll in over the TV airways. Eventually the University closed and everyone began to make their way home. To this day I still can remember walking back home at about 2:30 p.m., and by this time the depth and breadth of the terrorist attacks had been disclosed to the American public, how silent the skies where and how silent and heavy my heart had grown as I processed the loss of human life that was being reported. Today, as commercial and private aircraft fly overhead, I look up and remember that day and think about the silent skies.",

It is slightly easier for professional expat women who work in corporate positions and come primarily from Europe, India and other parts of the Middle East,\u201d it said.\nBut even with professional women, it\u2019s not all that smooth going.\nFor instance, women who accompany their husbands are given housewife visas, which forbids them from working without a \u201cno objection letter\u201d from their spouse, according to the study.\n\u201cAlso, even women who get jobs while on a spouse visa can face many restrictions including access to banking and buying property,\u201d it said.\n\u201cMoreover, unlike their national counterparts, expat women are not usually employed in the public sector,\u201d it added.\nSource: https://goo.gl/jj1kmo\n\u2190 Kabul\u2019s 1st Female-Only Fitness Club Part Of The Movement Of Women\u2019s Empowerment In Afghanistan\nLubna S.

        "raw_content": "To book artists and talent such as BR5-49 for your corporate event, convention, or fundraiser, just use our Find Talent Form or Contact us.\nThere\u2019s been a boatload of changes on the country landscape since a rough-and-tumble quintet of hard-core, true-blue pickers set about turning a complacent, soft-around-the-edges and squishy-in-the-middle Nashville on its collective ear in the early-\u201990s.\nAdopting the \u201cone-call-gits-all\u201d phone number spouted weekly on TV by portly \u201cHee Haw\u201d huckster Junior Samples as their moniker, BR549 injected some long-missing energy, self-deprecating humor and true country grit into their refreshing, sprawling revue of rustic roots music.\nThe band\u2019s now-legendary, four-hour-plus romps at Robert\u2019s Western Wear quickly built a rabid fan following and an industry-wide buzz, and the 1996 releases of the LIVE AT ROBERT\u2019S EP and their self-titled full-length CD torched a critical firestorm.\nExpertly blending Western swing, pub-rock, rockabilly, honky tonk and vintage country pop, BR549 continued their crusade to remind us that a REAL band that may be rough around the edges but PASSIONATE at its core trumps contrived, by-the-numbers slickness every time.\nThe boys released 1998\u2019s BIG BACKYARD BEAT SHOW and yet another \u201clive\u201d set (COAST TO COAST in 2000), garnering further critical kudos.\nAlong the way, their tireless touring ethic and mix-and-match stylistic range found them sharing stages with such diverse artists as Bob Dylan, Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, Nick Lowe, and country\u2019s two King Georges--Jones and Strait.\nTheir flexibility has brought appearances on such hipster tube fare as \u201cLate Night With Conan O\u2019Brien\u201d and \u201cThe Late Show With David Letterman,\u201d active participation in the promotion of the newly-opened Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum, AND a standing invitation to appear on the legendary Grand Ole Opry\u2019s stage.\nIn 2001, the group traded in its hyphen (which never seemed to know where it belonged, anyway) on some new tires for the tour bus, and signed with SONY Nashville\u2019s hip Lucky Dog imprint. Sharing a label with such copacetic alt-something cohorts as Jack Ingram, The Derailers and Charlie Robison, BR549 aired out its aerodynamically-sound \u2018new\u2019 name on THIS IS BR549.\nProduced by Paul Worley (Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride, Pam Tillis) and engineer Mike Poole, THIS IS BR549 continued to explore the band\u2019s anything-goes ethos, boasting an eclectic mix of vintage country chestnuts, too-cool originals and out-of-leftfield covers.\nAs mentioned at the outset, though, there HAVE been a lot of changes over the years, both in the shape of country music and, most recently, in the shape of BR549.\nSeven years in the life of a band as hard-working, aggressive and interactive as these ol\u2019 boys means a lot of time, miles and music spent together, and a band\u2019s task of continuing to meet the needs and goals chosen by five individuals becomes increasingly more difficult with the passage of time.\nAnd so, there are changes in the works, but even as they are being finalized, BR549 continues on, cranking out their trademark blend of crowd-pleasing shit-kickers, roadhouse stompers and late-night weepers.\nThe current lineup is comprised of original members Chuck Mead (electric and acoustic guitars, vocals), Shaw Wilson (drums and percussion) and Donnie Herron (all things stringed), and augmented by Chris Scruggs and bassist Geoff Firebaugh.\n\u201cAs a lot of our fans have already heard, there are some changes coming in the band\u2019s lineup,\u201d says Mead, \u201cbut until everything gets settled, I have to keep my mouth shut--\u2018doctor\u2019s\u2019 orders.\n\u201cBut I CAN talk about the extra players we\u2019ve got with us for these shows. Chris is a musical genius from a family that has been an integral part of country music for three generations now, and Geoff is an old friend of the band whose a great player too.\u201d\nBR549 survived the loss of its hyphen in a tragic table-saw accident (or was it in a brain-damaged, high-stakes poker game?). The new lineup represents a bigger change, for sure, but when you think back to where and why they started up in the first place, change has always been what BR549 is ultimately about.\nDo your best to roll with it...it\u2019ll work out just fine.\nTo book an artist such as BR5-49 or other big name talent for your Corporate Event, Private Party, Fundraiser or Convention, let one of our mediator agents negotiate with managers, agents and artists to achieve the best possible entertainment experience.\nJust fill out the Talent Request form for \"BR5-49\", so that one of our experienced professionals can contact and book this artist for you. We make booking entertainment and booking musicians easy! So get started with the preliminary Talent Request form and let us use our negitiating skills to get BR5-49 booked for your next event.",

Electronic records are easier to store and find. They can be shared remotely, reduce document storage costs, have increased security, are easy to back up, easy to manage and destroyed as needed. But with rooms full of records the task to convert can seem daunting. Here are some basics to get you started with an office document scanning project. How Much to Scan? The first step in the project is to get a scope of the project. A standard file box (10 x 12 x15) will hold around 2,500 pages. A shelf holds around 200 pages per inch. Most projects can be estimated based on a multiple of these averages. This is more accurate that estimating a number of files and than estimating pages per file. What to Scan Most businesses don\u2019t choose to scan every piece of paper being stored. Check your records against the company\u2019s retention schedule and shred what is no longer needed. Then prioritize what is used the most and would provide the biggest benefit if digitized. A common solution is to set a scan date. All documents younger than the scan date are scanned; everything older is only scanned when accessed. This solution dramatically reduces what needs to be digitized while slowly converting older documents on an as-needed basis. Format of the Scanned Documents The most common format for electronic records is Portable Document Format (PDF). It is widely used and easy to share and protect. Some other options are Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) and Raw Image File (RAW). The digital images can also be processed by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software. This will turn the digital pictures into text documents. Once it is a text document you can search for keywords inside of a document. What is Indexing? Indexing is the system to organize the documents. It is a digital field applied to the file after it is scanned. This may be date of record, patient name, customer number, or other field that would aid in retrieving documents. Document Preparation Production scanners are designed to auto feed letter and legal sized documents. They are high speed and scan up to 10,000 pages an hour. Preparation is the process of removing all the staples and bindings. Odd sized documents must be taped onto standard paper. Pictures and color documents must be handled separately. The documents are then re-assembled after scanning. Electronic Document Management Once the documents are scanned they need proper storage. It is common to keep them on disks but that dramatically reduces their usefulness. At the minimum, they should be backed up to a remote location. A better solution to storing them is an Electronic Document Management System. This makes the documents easy to find and manages who has access to particular information. The system can be managed in house or via a cloud-computing service. Cost of Scanning A document scanning project can be done with existing employees or outsourced to a scanning service. The decision is largely based on the size of the project. For a couple thousand pages or less it is cheaper to do the work in-house. If you are outsourcing the work then there are steps you can take to reduce the costs. By doing the scanning preparation in-house it will save money. Also be judicious in what you choose to scan. If it is unlikely to be needed in the future it will save money to leave it in a paper format.

        "raw_content": "NJ Teacher Missed 213 Days of School, Faked Test Scores\nELIZABETH \u2014 A veteran teacher in this school district will lose her job after missing hundreds of days of school, according to a decision this month by the state commissioner of education.\nSheralyn Conrad, who had been working as a teacher since 1994, began racking up \"excessive absenteeism\" in the district in 2014. She missed 33 days during the 2014-2015 school year, 49.5 days the following year, and 129.5 days during the 2016-2017 school year.\nThe seven months worth of missed days over the course of three years would be enough to flunk one of her students several times over. New Jersey requires students to be in school at least 180 days of the school year.\nThe district requested medical documentation to explain the absences but did not get an answer until Jan. 9, 2017, when she \"indicated that the necessary medical certificate would be sent as soon as her doctor filled it out.\" No documentation was ever submitted and Conrad was absent for the remainder of that school year.\nThe decision by the commissioner also cited an undated guilty plea by Conrad to charges of driving while intoxicated, which was not reported to the district. She also admitted to making up Developmental Reading Assessment scores in April 2014 for all of her students because she had not completed the assessments.\nConrad did not respond to the charges when notified by the commissioner's office, so they were upheld, allowing her to be dismissed. According to Data Universe results Conrad was making an annual salary of $67,970.\nSource: NJ Teacher Missed 213 Days of School, Faked Test Scores\nFiled Under: Elizabeth, Union County",

        "title": "Declaration of Economic Independence/Interdependence",
        "raw_content": "Declaration of Economic Independence/Interdependence\nby Robert Wendell Sep 8, 2013 - 12:00am\nThe following document represents a set of principles proposed here as self-evidently valid and practical. Following these is a second section intended to represent a set of practical principles and suggestions for implementing the core principles that preceded them. This second section represents the equivalent of an alpha version of open source software that could ideally become a beta test in a sovereign political region in some future that is, we hope, not too terribly distant.\nThe intention is that these ideas represent a synthesis of the best of both conservative and liberal principles. Each member of any society has a unique set of beliefs and opinions. Political labels pretend to standardize a set of beliefs that everyone who claims to subscribe to that label allegedly holds. This is not compatible with the uniqueness of individual beliefs and opinions, and so does not truly represent any individual.\nInstead, political labeling imperfectly represents those who sacrifice their uniqueness in conforming to an expected social norm. This club-like mentality abounds in the real world. However, for those who have been wondering and asking where I stand in the political spectrum, this document defines me politically much more precisely and accurately than any political label ever could.\nWe the people do hereby declare the truths embodied herein to be self-evident and/or historically demonstrated in practice. Idealism and pragmatism are both essential, but they must balance each other. Idealism, as represented in ideals such as all people having equal rights under the law, although not practically attained anywhere in the world or in its history, nevertheless retain their value as goals for which we must constantly aim. It would, of course, be both useless and ridiculous on its face to pretend, for example, that because we have never fully achieved the ideal of equal rights under the law, we must change it to some equivalent of \u201calmost everyone equal\u201d or \u201ceveryone almost equal\u201d under the law.\nNevertheless, any idealism that assumes its ideals require no practical legal restrictions on behavior for their achievement is both unworkable and dangerous. Communism, laissez-faire capitalism, and anarchist philosophy all represent systems of thought that wrongly assume the natural forces implicit in the societies they propose are sufficient for achieving the ideals they promote. History and human nature have shown this to be not only false, but that such assumptions are extremely damaging to individual and social well being:\nCommunism idealizes human motivation toward abstract philanthropic goals rather than concrete, personal economic benefit. It can only work in small communes in which everyone is intimately, positively, and harmoniously connected with everyone else and all of whom share a commitment to such a community. Historically, it has otherwise only resulted in using political power as a proxy for achieving superior economic status by very corrupt means, including \u201cmental hospitals\u201d and prisons for political enemies and dissenters, not to mention both political assassination and mass murder.\nLaissez-faire capitalism idealistically assumes free-market economics that naturally self-regulate for the well being of society, not merely despite selfishness but on the basis of it (e.g., Ayn Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness). It ignores that truly free markets can be distorted and even destroyed by financial power as easily and effectively as by political power in a communist dictatorship. Historically, this brand of baseless idealism has only tended toward monopoly and economic tyranny, not to mention the inefficiency this inevitably promotes, effectively making financial powers the very government-like organizations laissez-faire capitalists and anarchists both allegedly despise. A former U.S. telephone company, although not a result of laissez-faire capitalism, serves as a compelling example of economic tyranny and inefficiency in the delivery of services by a monopoly. Laissez-faire capitalism, sometimes rhetorically disguised with the euphemism \u201cfree\u201d-market capitalism, is quite simply and obviously anarchy in the economic arena.\nAnarchy idealizes the ability of human society to spontaneously self-regulate socially in ways that protect against the very sociopathic tendencies it complains against in government. Such sociopathic tendencies inevitably exist in some sub-population that would, without the idealistic, government-free self-regulation anarchy assumes, create the very de facto government anarchy despises. Drug cartels in Mexico, some neighborhoods in California, and other parts of the southwest U.S. are a case in point despite strong government opposition. While anarchists could conceivably argue that official governments created the conditions for these local de facto governments, history is replete with similar examples completely independent of the kinds of conditions that created the drug cartels. To propose that any such de facto rulers are themselves effectively despotic governments, although true, is a transparently circular and self-defeating argument for anarchists.\nThe intention of the following set of principles is to balance idealism and pragmatism to promote, insofar as possible, improvement toward optimum function within a society in terms of both individual and social well being. The understanding these principles intend to communicate makes no assumption that the social structure they imply is automatically self-propelled toward the ideals for which these principles aim. There is no system or absence of systems in a society that can guarantee, independent of the general integrity of its human constituents, anything approaching an optimum level of function.\nSuccess in implementing these principles does not rest, therefore, on idealistic assumptions regarding human character or behavior. Rather, the successful implementation of these principles requires that a sufficient portion of a society\u2019s constituents and their government consciously implement these principles with perpetual vigilance. A society must reinforce this vigilance with education in these practical principles and strong intention and dedication to optimizing the well being of that society and its individual constituents by means of their mutual, conscientious support. This is, of course, conditioned by the degree of their overall integrity in doing so.\nWe the people hereby declare the following principles to be valid and self-evidently practical:\n1. Large and apparently great societies and their cultures, regardless of their benevolent character or otherwise, are intrinsically comprehensive, relatively long-term phenomena.\n2. Morality as defined here is practicality from a comprehensive, long-term perspective, and therefore simply represents those individual and collective behaviors that foster the genuine well being of a society and the individuals within it, as well as the long-term survival of the benevolent character of that society.\n3. If economic incentives are truly to serve the interests of society, they must align with this definition of morality.\n4. Economic incentives even in so-called free markets are not intrinsically structured in terms of a comprehensive, long-term perspective and therefore do not necessarily motivate moral behaviors in a society.\n5. Any misalignment between economic incentives and this definition of morality intrinsically implies economic incentives that foster immoral behavior and so fail to serve the comprehensively best interests of a society.\n6. Individual contributions to the well being of society and its culture naturally vary in both quality and degree, so there will always be legitimate inequality of wealth. Any such variations in wealth among individuals in a theoretically idealized, fully moral society would result strictly from differences in the quality and degree of individual contributions rather than from any misalignment between economic incentives and morality and so would not in themselves imply any immoral behavior or counterproductive economic incentives.\n7. To whatever degree a real and practical society is ideal in such a moral sense, to that same degree it also serves its best interests and the long-term survival of its well being and that of its constituents.\n8. The financial and political elite in a moral society benefit individually from the overall well being of that society.\n9. The constraint of freedom by the exercise of legally sanctioned power of an elite class over the less powerful in otherwise legitimately agreed upon trade represents a social pathology that unarguably represents legally sanctioned theft by a powerful social elite.\n10. An elite social class that extracts wealth by means of economic and political power from those less fortunate, and also those who benefit from helping to maintain such an immoral elite, eventually destroy the well being of the society that supports them and so ultimately undermine their own economic support structure.\n11. To whatever degree a society is moral it fosters an inclusive economy and inhibits such an extractive economy.\n12. An extractive economy typically destroys itself in a period spanning multiple generations, so those responsible for the destruction of their society do not necessarily experience the results of their destructive behavior in their own lifetimes. If a society is to survive in the long term, it therefore must contain a sufficiently well informed and moral human component to correct the short-sighted behavior of any financial and political elites who extract wealth from the less powerful by means of that power rather than by legitimate trade free from economically extractive force.\n13. Wealth obtained with power and influence that extracts wealth not legitimately earned from trade with those less powerful cannot compensate with philanthropic contributions to society its fundamental immorality and resulting destructive character.\n14. The good fortune to possess financial and political power is merited only to the degree that it represents just rewards for its possessors\u2019 legitimate, comprehensive, and long-term contributions to the well being of their society and the individuals within it.\n15. Money is morally neutral, since there is nothing intrinsic to money that motivates either good or evil behavior.\n16. Genuine morality is rooted in practical application of the Golden Rule with respect to quality of life from a multi-generational perspective that is consequently and necessarily comprehensive socially, environmentally (since environment represents our shared wealth, endowed by both nature and society), and with respect to how long it endures.\n17. Good and evil are labels applied to opposing tendencies regarding the practice of genuine morality.\n18. Since geography and natural resources are strictly granted by nature, there is only one factor that structures and fuels the character, for better or worse, of the incentives money creates: the complex interaction of individual and collective desire in employing natural and humanly granted goods and services.\n19. How and whether the profit motive structures incentives to serve good or evil purposes will always correspond exactly with the constructive or destructive nature of human desires and how wisely or unwisely humans view the best way to fulfill their desires, including those that are constructive, since it is always possible to choose unwise and even destructive means for the achievement of praiseworthy purposes.\n20. The only legitimate purpose of financial and business law is to strongly inhibit financial incentives toward evil ends and powerfully reinforce incentives toward genuine, long-term individual well being in balance with that of society.\nWe the people further suggest the following principles and practices as possible means for practical implementation of the principles previously outlined herein:\n1. Constructive legislation prohibits the use of financial, political, or physical power to extract wealth from the less powerful without having earned it through mutually voluntary trade, a practice otherwise known as theft.\n2. Such law strongly reinforces equal availability of opportunity.\n3. Such law must provide effective legal recourse for those deprived of opportunity or subjected to unearned extraction of their wealth.\n4. Such law guarantees the freedom of all individual markets, including labor, to negotiate freely without fear of reprisal.\n5. Such law prohibits monopolistic behavior on the part of either labor or business, since such behavior strongly inhibits free negotiation between and among markets.\n6. Such law guarantees the right of labor and management to negotiate as equal partners, but requires that such negotiation be restricted to individual business enterprises and their own labor forces in order to exclude monopolistic behavior and effective price fixing by labor that organizing across entire industries otherwise represents.\n7. Such law provides severe sanctions against any violation of these rights or reprisals of any kind on the part of either party to negotiations.\n8. Such law restricts financial institutions to serving either banking or speculative purposes, prohibiting the same institution from serving both.\n9. Such law allows non-profit banking cooperatives to organize and ultimately do business with any and all members of the public it wishes to serve in competition with for-profit banking institutions, thereby allowing practical market economics to determine the success of each type of banking institution.\n10. Such law prohibits legislation from granting any advantage for either profit or non-profit banking operations over the other and prohibits predatory banking practices that would represent an equivalent advantage, such as large banks starving out smaller ones by surviving below costs for prolonged periods.\n11. Such law requires that interest rates for deposits or loans be determined by market competition for customers, outlawing and effectively enforcing against any form of effective price fixing among any type of private financial institutions while also prohibiting such control (price fixing) of interest rates by government or any agency other than each banking institution reacting independently to market pressures.\n12. Such law prohibits banking institutions from varying interest rates across geographical regions within national boundaries in order to eliminate excessive local charges in areas in which they could otherwise effectively act as monopolies.\n13. Such law regulates banking via antitrust law to guarantee adequate competition for customer deposits and loans. It provides oversight of banking size to provide for institutional growth adequate to serve large business interests while ensuring adequate competition, disallowing otherwise monopolistic practices in charging or paying interest rates, and ensuring against becoming too big to fail without disastrous economic consequences.\n14. Such law prohibits that any member of a society be punished or neglected for a partial or complete incapacity to contribute to the economic well being of that society.\n15. Such law removes economic anxiety by protecting individuals within a society from economic catastrophe by guaranteeing to whatever extent possible the means for improving individual self-sufficiency and the supply of basic needs for those genuinely incapable of supporting themselves.\n[Modification to 16-18 in response to feedback via comments: Such law requires that public funds come strictly from a simple sales tax. To maintain an approximate correspondence between the taxes paid and the relative use of publicly funded infrastructure, hard or soft, by both individuals and businesses, this tax is not restricted to retail, but levied on all goods and services traded. Exempted from any taxation are rent or mortgage on subsistence level housing, etc., raw produce and other basic food stuffs (not including highly processed foods, TV dinners and other pre-packaged, ready-to-eat foods, chips and dips, protein bars, dessert foods, soft drinks and fruit juice beverages, foods served ready to eat at restaurants and other eateries, etc.).]\n16. Such law requires that public funds obtained from lower and middle income members of society come strictly from simple sales tax, with no income tax for these income categories.\n17. Since those with the highest incomes typically take the greatest advantage of developments in public infrastructure such as municipal growth, airports, highways and other transportation infrastructure development, maintenance, and regulation, licensing, legal enforcement and justice systems, the long-term economic benefits of basic research, public transportation for low-skilled labor, etc., such law requires additional taxing of high income levels in accordance with criteria statistically correlated with the relative economic advantage government funded infrastructure provides for those with corresponding income levels.\n18. Such law requires taxing of all private for-profit and non-profit business entities in accordance with criteria statistically correlated with the relative economic advantage government funded infrastructure provides for those with the corresponding industrial nature and revenues. The only exemptions would be non-profit philanthropic organizations offering services at no cost to their clients, but which would be subject to strict oversight with particular attention to revenues from donations versus the realistic market value of goods and services rendered with those non-profit organizations that charge for goods and services serving as benchmarks. Such taxes will be mandated for any business, domestic or foreign, that operates within that sovereignty.\n19. A healthcare market that focuses on promoting the means of care delivery independent of its ultimate, long-term efficacy in the genuine healing of physical maladies is intrinsically flawed.\n20. Whether implicit or legally explicit by means of contractual agreement, it is a norm in any reasonable economic arena that the monetary value of any economic good is ultimately dependent on the positive outcomes it provides. Healthcare cannot be an exception, since whenever a society assigns value according to a misplaced confidence in the means of its delivery rather than on its measurable outcomes, the economic incentives for positive outcomes are reversed and consequently counterproductive.\n21. Since it is self-evident that there is no corporate economic incentive to provide healthcare that eliminates clients by effectively and inexpensively addressing the root causes of physical disease and malfunction, such law requires an economic system of competitive suppliers, whether private, public, or non-profit, so structured that they deliver healthcare with economic value conditioned by its quality, that is, by positive, long-term outcomes, determined by market competition rather than government regulation.\n22. To eliminate an obvious scam that provides an incentive to profit with no contractual obligation to the consumer to contain costs, costs are not billed directly to the healthcare consumer. Accordingly, the effective subcontracting of medical materials, rents, and services via referral to specialists, promoting specific pharmaceutical products, etc. at a cost to the consumer instead of the provider is outlawed. The direct cost of drugs, therapies, surgery, rents, and other means of healthcare delivery are therefore a legally mandated cost to the healthcare supplier rather than the patient. The provider must then profit from building its reputation for healthcare useful in serving its clients, as in the construction trade, for example.\n23. To provide extraordinary options to those wealthy enough and/or so inclined, healthcare providers are legally bound to offer all consumers higher cost options with full disclosure to the client concerning the relative benefits and risks expected, which will be as specific as possible and which specifics will be backed by solid scientific research whenever possible.\n24. Such law guarantees the availability of healthcare to all members of society by requiring a public healthcare insurance provider at no direct cost to the insured other than normal tax structure and with the option to subcontract private insurance providers. This public provider/contractor would compete with and/or contract private, for-profit and/or non-profit insurance providers, thereby guaranteeing that open market economics determine costs to the public sector.\n25. Such law guarantees the freedom of all members of society to choose whether to purchase from private for-profit or non-profit insurance providers, or take advantage of a public, basic insurance plan option at no direct cost to clients. Those who choose the basic plan from a private insurance provider enjoy a modestly lower sales tax burden in agreement with annually assessed statistics on savings to the public coffers per private client on the basic plan, thereby allowing market economics and client choices to determine by competition the ultimate value of all insurance options.\n26. Healthcare consumers with no private insurance plan automatically default to the basic public plan.\n27. Upon discovering a need for healthcare, healthcare consumers without private plans who wish to upgrade healthcare delivery from that provided in the basic plan will directly and personally assume all extra costs entailed by the provider within contractually agreed upon limits.\n28. Since preventive healthcare has value in reducing ultimate healthcare costs to insurers, the public sector provides such healthcare in its basic plan using rigorous statistical analysis to optimize cost tradeoffs. It also offers modest sales tax incentives to insurers who do the same.\nRobert Wendell Added Sep 9, 2013 - 1:20pm\nOh, and by the way, Jason, I'm not intending to compete with Thomas Jefferson or anyone else.\n\"So it\u2019s OK to take earned wealth from the less powerful?\" - Jason\nFrom context it should be quite obvious that we're talking about legitimate trade between different levels of economic power versus forced extraction of wealth by the powerful from the less powerful without the more powerful having done anything to earn it. \"Earned wealth from the less powerful\" in your sentence ignores context that clearly doesn't refer to the means by which the less powerful acquired that wealth, but to illegitimate means by which the powerful extract it. I do appreciate what your saying, though, about the ambiguity of the language if we ignore context. I will see how I can change that to be less ambiguous as long is it doesn't require language that gets too involuted to do it.\nAlso, I'm just putting these ideas out there to stimulate thought, meanwhile informing those who want to know where I stand politically about my positions. One of my aims, too, is to show that sensible ideas don't have to fit a standard political label. I personally think that the best solutions to real problems don't happen to fit any of the current standard political labels and this also serves to show why. I'm solidly convinced that the current political labels disallow genuine, practical solutions for this very reason. They put blinders on every side of the issue so none can see the whole and come up with something that actually works.\nBy the way, I assume you know what I actually mean with the phrases you critique, so I hope maybe you could suggest less ambiguous language that wouldn't further complicate the issue.\n@ Joy of Freedom1836\nFirst, you spend a great deal of time on the imposition of power by financial and political elites, but you do not consider the tyranny of the majority, mob rule.\nI most certainly do address it right up front. I quote from my article:\n\"The understanding these principles intend to communicate makes no assumption that the social structure they imply is automatically self-propelled toward the ideals for which these principles aim. There is no system or absence of systems in a society that can guarantee, independent of the general integrity of its human constituents, anything approaching an optimum level of function.\"\nA descent into mob rule is most clearly what we're witnessing in various places around the middle east right now. There is even the tyranny of the majority in a democracy depending on the level of social integration or lack of it in a society. My quote above was intended to cover that contingency. We just witnessed a democratically elected president in Egypt turn out to be an Islamic dictator with the support of a very substantial \"mob\" that is now engaged in mortal conflict with another very substantial \"mob\" that wants a secular government. I was hoping my article made it clear that there is no government of lack of one that can fix those problems democratically. I have long believed that the imposition of democracy on other societies is utterly misguided, since there are many societies in which it cannot possibly work even as well as it does here, which isn't saying that much, is it? We need to work toward one that works here and forget about imposing it on others.\nSecond, in arguing for a tax on wealth because of their supposed greater benefit, you violate natural law by seizing wealth at a disproportionate rate from some rather than others - see my first comment about mob rule.\nWho makes the most use our basic transportation infrastructure and other kinds of publicly funded infrastructure, both hard and soft, meaning physical and non-physical systems or soft structures such as legal systems, etc.? Does a dock hand or Bank of America use more of this kind of public infrastucture? Even if we restrict the discussion to the Interstate highway system, does Bank of America make the most use of that or you? If you paid federal taxes last year, you paid more than Bank of America did, so they're extracting wealth from your pocket by using a lot more than you something you're paying for while they don't.\nThird, healthcare is a service like any other - no more, no less.\nFourth, who/what will define long-term value of contributions that form the basis of \"meriting\" power? So if I earn money that doesn't meet your definition of long-term value, does that mean it can be seized?\nI assume this question is addressing the problem of evaluating the long-term utility value of healthcare. That question should be left to the market to decide. There may be no humanly possible way to answer the question of how much something should cost in a competitive marketplace.\nMy beef with the healthcare industry is that doctors, for example, can effectively subcontract services from specialist and run up your bill at not only no cost to themselves, but endlessly increase profit from doing so. I've personally had experience with doctors ordering tons of tests that other doctors felt were marginally if at all useful or necessary just to make more money for himself at my expense.\nThis happens all the time in our healthcare system, which I feel is at least partially a sad misnomer. It's a sick-care system that profits from illness rather than from keeping us healthy. Without even addressing or impugning in any way the individual morality of those in the healthcare industry, we actually have a system that unarguably creates an incentive to profit from keeping us sick and providing us \"healthcare\" that we don't even need.\nWhat if a building contractor told you he could build you a nice house for $500,000? You like the plans and decide to go ahead with it. He then feels absolutely free to charge you directly for every piece of equipment he rents, all materials he chooses, all labor and services he contracts and subcontracts, and does it without any contractual obligation whatsoever to contain YOUR costs.\nThat's exactly how our current \"healthcare\" system actually functions. Obama steps in with his hodge-podge plan put together by people who fundamentally disagree on just about everything and uses government to contain costs to medicare. I see this as a futile attempt to fix a fundamentally upside incentive structure with a superficial bandaid that depends on government regulation that is more or less arbitrarily structured.\nI'm proposing an incentive structure (any incentive structure; not necessarily mine) under which the markets reward positive healthcare results through long-term reputation building by those who actually do provide successful healthcare and who have to contain their costs in doing so, just as any building contractor with large business clients would be economically forced by the markets to do.\n@ Jason - Telling me I have blinders on is useless rhetoric without specifying WHY you disagree instead of merely stating that you do. That's just \"I believe this\" and \"No, I believe that\"...quite a useless kind of exchange that I see proliferates here and in most comments on the Web. In general on the Web and in our society, there is a conspicuous absence of critical thought or even any concept of what that is.\nI'm not the least bit interested in what anyone believes if they can't tell me precisely why. And when I say something is self-evident, I mean it follows with a very trivial application of logic from something that everyone already knows is so. So my article is full of the \"why's\" of what I believe. Anyone objective can at least appreciate, whether there is agreement on specifics or not, that I like the conservative idea of market economics deciding issues in ways that support the humane goals that most liberals support. I don't think individuals or the government should be in the business of trying to figure out what markets should be like, but simply structure legislation that promotes markets with incentives that aim for an optimal balance in individual and societal well being and inhibits those that don't.\nMost people's political beliefs assume that their ideal social and/or political structure would guarantee a healthy society that promote individual and societal well being. I don't believe there is any such thing. Only the collective wisdom of the population can achieve that. I'm simply speculating about some of the ways I think such a society might function. However, the first set of principles I do believe to be solid and self-evident in the sense I previously defined it the second paragraph of this reply.\n\"While a flat tax has the moral problem of disproportionate burden, various tax proposals including the FairTax have overcome this by taxing income or consumption beyond an established sustenance level. In this way, no one would be taxed on the essentials of life.\"\nGood! There is nothing wrong with that. We're basically on the same page on this. If you look at what I said, sales tax is essentially a flat tax\non lower and middle class folks tied directly to consumption with an oversight on my part, since I would not want to tax food, or rent or mortgages for lodging at a basic subsistence while still humane level. However, a sales tax does nothing directly tied to paying for infrastructure in any fair way.\nI should add that fundamentally, I don't believe in taxing income unless it is quite high. The main difference between what you propose and what I did in the article is my failure to mention the absence of tax on basic subsistence needs and in the inflection point at which income tax begins and how much. I'm not in principle opposed to the idea of using some inflection point at which income is taxed at a flat rate for both individual income and business revenues. I feel, however, that the tax should be on revenues and not profit. This way it becomes a cost of doing business, since that is a more appropriate reflection of the degree to which infrastructure contributes to business operations. The ability to make a profit is tied to business competence rather than use of infrastructure. The level of tax should not be punitive, of course, despite those who consider any tax at all to be punitive. You need to pay for what you use, since they are all costs, including the cost of public infrastructure.\n\"You are right in that this is a plan for high costs and that Obamacare does not address it at all. So how do we restore the market balance where the consumer (patient) is making intelligent choices about health and risk at a price he/she can afford?\"\nThat's indeed the crux of the problem, isn't it? I made a stab at it in my suggestions. Please recall that this is how I presented the attempts at practical solutions, as suggestions, a kind of alpha version for an open source system that ideally could develop into something some sovereignty would eventually be motivated to try out as a continually evolving beta test to cultivate its growth into a mature, practical operating system.\n\"I like most of this - but nothing in life is self-evident.\"\nAs I mentioned in a previous reply to someone else here, by self-evident I refer to anything that follows by the application of trivial logic from something everyone already knows is so.\nFor example, I consider it self-evident that a practical definition of morality is practicality with a long-term view. People who rob cars actually believe for the moment that they are motivated by self-interest. I assume that any intelligent, moral human being already knows that from any socially comprehensive, long-term perspective, car thieves are not really acting in even in their own self-interest.\nThe Golden Rule, or \"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you\" is common to all the great world moral codes and religions. It has clear social merit and its violation has clearly negative social consequences. I consider this to be self-evident.\nI consider it a trivial logical step to conclude from this that the Golden Rule represents the most succinct expression of morality and as such is the essence of morality. To confine this to short-term consequences is by definition logical near-sightedness. For example, to destroy the environment or deplete natural resources for future generations simply because we won't be around then is a violation of the Golden Rule with regard to others who have not been born. We would not like it if others who preceded us had done that.\nSo it is a trivial logical step to conclude that this is a violation of the Golden Rule and immoral by the practical definition my article uses. I also consider it a trivial logical step to conclude from this that any discrepancy or misalignment between this definition of morality and economic incentives a society structures for itself creates motivation in the direction of immoral actions. This kind of obvious truth and trivially simple logical conclusions from it is what I refer to when I say self-evident. The same term was used in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. I suppose you also feel that this term was likewise abused there? It basically says that it is only fair that the law should treat everyone equally. I think we can say that is a tautology, since fairness and treating everyone equally essentially mean the same thing. Tautologies (A=A) don't get you very far, but they are extremely reliable. : )\nRobert Wendell Added Sep 9, 2013 - 11:55pm\nI basically like the FairTax idea as you present it. We seem to agree that in the end taxation should be a cost of doing business. However, I'm not sure the sales tax has any clear, direct link to the use of public infrastructure. Those at a subsistence level of income make relatively little use of public infrastructure unless is serves to get them to work more cheaply than buying an auto. That's likely more an advantage for employers of low-skilled workers.\nI initially felt that no one should have to pay for public infrastructure by having it reflected in sales tax. Businesses paying sales tax are not paying for infrastructure unless the public sector charges a high enough sales tax to the whole population to pay for it. I do concede that this could reflect the relative use of infrastructure well enough to take care of my sense of fairness, though, so I don't have a major problem with that. But it would have to be a sales tax on all goods and services delivered to any business to do that. Retail sales tax alone would, in my view, completely disconnect taxation from public infrastructure for those who use it most and enjoy the greatest economic benefit from it.\nThere are people in the corporate world who feel that a sales tax would actually lower costs to industry and reflect through to savings for the the end consumer because of the costs that our current complex tax system entails for businesses. The lobby against that, of course, consists of CPAs and high-ticket, corporate tax lawyers/consultants who are essentially enjoying a parasitic relationship provided for them by the current system.\nPlease always bear in mind the suggested solutions section of this article is presented as an alpha version of a social operating system that ideally might develop into a real beta test for a sufficiently wise society to employ and that in turn would ideally evolve into a mature operating system for that society. The bottom line is this second section of suggestions for complying with the principles stated in the first section is there to elicit precisely the kind of productive feedback you're providing, so I thank you for it.\n@ Joy and all others who happen by:\nI intend to incorporate what I regard as valuable feedback received from your comments and suggestions with edits to the article. I thank you in advance for your kind attention and input. I only ask that you not expect that I automatically include your suggestions without regard to what I judge to be their merit. If you think you have a good idea and it makes good sense to you, convince me with solid arguments for your ideas. I may like them out of hand and include them without debate. I also may become involved in a vigorous debate on your ideas and ultimately become convinced of either their partial or complete merit. On the other hand, I may feel you failed to make a good case for your ideas and not include them at all.\nPinkerton, if you don't think my logic is sound, show me the flaw in the logic or the error in the original assumption. The way you talk, I'm not sure you even looked at either. Sounds like you're just blowing in the wind. If you think it is not self-evident that to be fair, for example, the law should be applied the same way to everyone, that is, if you disagree with that, then we have nothing to talk about. Our founders used the term \"self-evident\", so if you're going to trash a whole document on that kind of basis, then you have to trash the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution along with it.\n@ Steve Janss- With regard to my use of the term \"self-evident\", please refer to my preceding post in reply to Pinkerton.\nOn your parameters for a successful government, I find no fault with them. They look good to me. In my article, I didn't intend to address any specific governmental structure. I wanted to merely put out some fundamental principles that I feel speak for themselves as valid.\nOn your comment regarding ideals, treating everyone equally under the law is a fundamental concept, but it is clearly not in every human's nature to do so. We have a lot of historical precedent that demonstrates favoritism and special privileges, the divine right of kings, etc. as part of human tendencies. So I regard equality under the law as a laudable ideal that we have never fully realized. I don't understand how you can believe that we have. Every day in the good old U.S.A. there are people receiving special treatment specifically with regard to either the unjust application of the law or failure to apply it because of wealth or political influence. I have personal knowledge of such realities and assume nothing idealistic about human nature with respect to that. That flies directly in the face of equality under the law. I know of no society that has fully eliminated this tendency to apply the law differently to different people because of some kind of either favorable influence for or prejudice against them that trounces this ideal. So it may be an ideal we can never reach, but it is something for which we should want and attempt to reach. In this case, a more realistic rendition of this ideal would be \"everyone almost equal under the law\" or \"almost everyone equal under the law\", neither of which would inspire reaching for the ideal, but would effectively scuttlebutt the whole thing. I thought I made that perfectly clear in the article in the very part you quote.\n\"Second, the concept of idealism, while ear-tickling, also embodies every crackpot idea that'll either never work, never has worked, or if attempted, has caused great harm.\"\nI thought I made it clear up front in the article that idealism with regard to assumptions about human nature is dangerous and responsible for much severe damage to humanity. There is a huge practical and very realistic difference between ideals to which humans should and can productively aspire and ideal systems that assume humans will naturally conform to these ideals. I addressed this issue at some length and a lot of clarity, so I'm mystified at your response to it.\nRegarding your statement, quoting here:\n\"I'll warn you ahead of time, though, that aside from the overt dismissal of communism per se', the text bears a remarkable resemblance to Raya Dunayevskaya's \"The New Russian Communist Manifesto,\" publish in \"News & Letters,\" January 1961.\"\nPlease point out to me specifically where you find the \"remarkable resemblance\" you claim my text has to this document. In fact, why do you think anything I've stated in my article remotely approaches anything even mildly akin to communism? I meticulously structured every practical suggestion regarding the potential implementation of the principles in the first section in terms of market economics free from meddling by either the public or private sector with the notable exception of anti-trust law and regulations on size as in the recent prohibition against the merger of American Airlines and USAirways.\nIn general, I deliberately aimed to the highest practical degree possible in my view to allow market economics to structure trade of all goods and services to be as free as possible from unfair manipulation by a powerful few, whether in the public or private sector. That was my goal: an economy as free as possible while retaining a structure in society that provides practical compassion for those unable to provide fully for themselves, but free of idealistic assumptions that spontaneous philanthropy will automatically and reliably manifest without such a structure.\nFirst, I didn't try to define communism, but merely stated what its definition assumes. I assume intelligent, informed people already know what communism is without having to look it up.\nSecond, even if we assume what you say is true, explain to me what you think is wrong with my statements about it. For example, here is what a Google search for the definition finds:\nA political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.\nIn case English is a problem for you, that definition assumes that people are going to contribute to an economy according to their abilities and take from that economy according to their needs. So if you have great abilities, communism expects you to contribute a lot and you will only be paid according to your needs. If a very needy person has hardly any ability to contribute to the economy, but has great needs, that person will get paid a lot for practically nothing while you get paid very little for a lot of really good work.\nCommunism idealizes human motivation toward abstract philanthropic goals rather than concrete, personal economic benefit.\nThat's exactly what \"each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs\" means, or are you really unable to see that?\nIf you really are so intellectually challenged that you can't understand the connection between the definition and the idealistic assumptions that definition clearly implies, I simply say, \"Wow!\" Where do you find any incompatibility whatsoever between what I said and the definition? What did you do? A search for a definition and then a first-grade word-for-word comparison and when they didn't match, you spit out this brilliant conclusion that what I said has nothing to do with the definition? Go play with some kindergarten kids and get out of my hair if you're really that stupid.\nWell, what is unambiguous about \"beyond the minimum necessary\"?\nOn the selfishness issue, ever read Ayn Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness? As you probably already know, laissez-faire literally means \"(you) let do\", but translates more idiomatically to \"leave us alone\". Standard Oil was broken up with anti-trust law because when left alone, it didn't leave anybody else alone. Because it grew to such enormity, it was able to sell below cost until it put all the smaller fish out of business. It then gobbled them up for pennies on the dollar or nothing at all. There are interviews still around somewhere (don't remember where) of some of its victims. Ask them how enthusiastic they are about laissez-faire capitalism. Oh, yes, they're dead now, aren't they? But unless I'm being too generous, I think you may have a feeling for how they would respond,.\nAs to my use of the word \"idealistically\", I gave ample attention in the article to the fact that assuming ideal behavior on the part of humans is precisely what is wrong with all three political philosophies I address in the article. Business organizations need policing to protect the honest from the dishonest as much as individuals do in any society. Assuming that market economics somehow takes care of this is extremely naive and debunked in practice all the way back to prehistoric times. I also explained the value of aiming for ideals we may possibly never achieve, such as equality under the law, but which nonetheless retain their value as goals. So if you didn't get that, just go back and read it again.\nPicking at little details of my argument out of context, thereby distorting their meaning and so implying the whole argument is false is a logical fallacy known as a straw man argument. Be forewarned that I have a low tolerance for interpretations of my writings that result from wearing such narrow blinders. The resulting communication or its absence lacks sincerity, but is instead born of a predetermined agenda that precludes any objectivity. I've noticed that others on this site afflicted with this disease never seem to get well and I'm tired of dealing with it.\nTo all defenders of laissez-faire capitalism -\nLaissez-faire capitalism as I understand it ignores two basic realities:\n1. Enormous financial power in the hands of a few can and usually does distort and reduce economic and every other kind of freedom just as enormous political power can when in the hands of a few. When either kind of power is too heavily concentrated, the line between them becomes very blurred. In the Soviet Union, political power became de facto economic power. In the United States, financial power has become de facto political power.\n2. There is nothing intrinsic to market economics or to any kind of organization, including business organizations, that eliminates the need for protection for the innocent from those with malicious self-interest any more than there is for police protection of ordinary citizens for the same reason.\nAlso, if we assume that government is intrinsically bad, we are either intentionally or unwittingly subscribing to anarchy. Further, it is a self-contradiction, because government is ultimately constituted of flawed human beings, and whatever makes it bad can in principle exist in any kind of organization. However, business is inevitably accountable to the markets whether those markets are free or not, whereas government is often not. Even so, there are ways to change that and government should be held accountable to those it is intended to serve. If it is not, in a democracy we need to look at how we citizens let that happen.\nIn the really big picture, the U.S. government doesn't even try to work in our citizens' interests in the first place because they're in the pockets of international corporate interests. So I see that as the key problem rather than government per se. Your reply fails to address this quote from my previous post:\n\"In the Soviet Union, political power became de facto economic power. In the United States, financial power has become de facto political power.\"\nRead my article Practical Reality Check II if your interested in knowing how things really work. The gist of what you say indicates to me you don't. You seem to have a fairly conventional idea of who our government even tries to please. You seem to think they are just wrong-headed in their approach to serving us rather than that they don't even try to serve us beyond the minimum necessary to maintain their charade. You don't seem to understand who the true masters are our government ultimately serves. I ain't us, that's for sure!\n\"Under laissez-faire capitalism if one firm starts to make outlandish profits more firms will enter the market.\" - The Emperor\nSo you think the example of Standard Oil indicates that? It didn't work that way at all. You're making an idealistic assumption that is not historically supported. You're doing exactly what you accused me of with regard to idealism and what I state in the article that laissez-faire idealistically assumes. You assume market forces will automatically correct human flaws. It does the opposite. It exaggerates and amplifies them. It tends toward monopoly and financially tyranny just as surely as communism tends toward political tyranny. Ultimately, they both end up creating the very kind of despotic ruling class they both claim to despise.\nEthanol is a government boondoggle and no intelligent green technology has anything to do with it. It's not hard to find Republican conservatives from farm districts who support this mess, either, so it has nothing to do with any genuine green technology or AGW.\nFurther, ethanol is a relatively recent phenomenon in the marketplace. It has nothing to do with the VERY LOW prices we pay because the U.S. financially strong-arms it's foreign suppliers to keep them low. Try driving around Europe for a while if you think prices here are high. They pay more for a liter than we do for a gallon. At least they did the last time I was there. You're apparently very naive regarding the games we play in the international arena. I have had contact through friends who are relatives by marriage with some extremely powerful people who are part of and intimately familiar with the financially elite club that runs the world. Western governments all work for them. They laugh at the news and sneer about how journalists, left or right, don't have a clue about how anything really works in the real world. That seems to include you.\n@ The Emperor - You think all powerful, wealthy people have a clue? Far from it, pal. The man I referred to was only one of my sources anyway, and he was privy to what the power elite does because he was part of it. So that was straight from the horses mouth. Anyone who doesn't know the truth of what he said is either not in a position to know because he is not part of it or part of it and lying about it.\nTaxes are not nearly the whole story of the price differential with Europe and your blithe, simplistic characterization of Republican versus Democratic motivations for supporting the ethanol boondoggle is a political pipe dream. You also have no clue how our foreign policies actually get implemented. So when your premises are all wrong, logic is of no use. You don't seem to know how to use either.\nWhere do you get your information on AGW, by the way? Do you read and understand peer-reviewed scientific papers on the subject? What are your sources?...other self-blinded, science know-nothings who swear that there is no scientific consensus? In fact it's 97.4% among total peer reviewed papers on the subject. Most of the remainder draw no conclusion either way. The small fraction of 1% who conclude against AGW are either petroleum geologists or others somehow beholden to the petroleum industry and a very few meteorologists with limited research experience and strong political opinions. The only people who spread this blatant lie that there is no scientific consensus are either politicians or others with extremely questionable scientific credentials and a strong political agenda. So you're just cluelessly barfing up the wrong tree and suckering for sources of well-financed disinformation.\nWhether AGW is real or not has nothing to with political philosophy, by the way. It's either real or not independent of what anyone's political leanings are. It's kind of like farmers who vote against whoever the incumbent is if they had a low harvest due to drought years during the incumbent's last term. The only reason AGW has become associated with political leanings is that radical conservatives have irrationally made it so.\nIt's true that taxes are the main explanation for the difference, but in addition to taxing way less, we also subsidize oil production. Also, in 1971 Saudi Arabia made sure OPEC oil would continue trading in U.S. dollars only. I guess you think the U.S. had no influence on this whatsoever. After this, it made no difference who the purchaser is. U.S. dollars became effectively backed by oil rather than by gold as before Nixon.\nSaudi Arabia still enforces the petrodollar standard today. In 1971 this system of trading for OPEC oil only in dollars forced up U.S. dollar demand as a world reserve currency. This increased its value, including its value in purchasing oil, of course. In 1973, OPEC instituted its oil embargo and drove prices through the ceiling, but this affected everybody the world over and contributes nothing to any understanding of price differential.\nSo you're right that taxes are the main explanation, but that alone doesn't explain all the difference. So I plead guilty to a bit of hyperbole on that one. However, calling me a \"liberal loon\" in light of all the other articles I've written on this site is a very myopic assessment of me. I always find it funny how hard right loons call anything they disagree with liberal, no matter how unrelated to left/right politics it is in terms of political philosophy.\nSuch ultra-conservative loons are intensely allergic to truth in general and anyone who points truth out becomes a \"liberal loon\" as viewed from inside their bubble of fiction. Since they write off out of hand anyone upon whom they slap this label, they guarantee they will always appear to themselves to be always right and those they perceive as \"liberal loons\", always wrong. Nice trick for those want to remain automatically delusional for the rest of their lives.\nBy the way, what specifically about the flat tax system outlined in the article above and free-market capitalism as defined economically rather than politically is anything but conservative if you don't regard as automatically liberal any sort of compassion for those legitimately unable to provide for themselves? Please be specific about why you think whatever points you want to pick with are liberal?\nI already pleaded guilty to hyperbole on the price difference with Europe. I agree with Joy on the currency argument. Joy made excellent points as Joy often does. So I concede the argument on the oil and gas price difference.\nWhat I find ridiculous in some of your arguments and those of some others is the labeling of anything you disagree with as coming from a lib-tard or whatever other silly liberal label of the moment. If I think ice cubes melt at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, I'm wrong about that, but it doesn't make me a liberal because it's different from what you believe. But that's exactly the kind of goofball \"logic\" you and a bunch of others on this site pretend is legitimate. They only difference between my ice cube example and many of your arguments is the political content. The \"logic\" is identical.\n@ Joy - Your injection of levity is most welcome and deeply appreciated! Happy unbirthday (unless, of course, it's by chance your birthday)!\n@ Joy - Your disagreement with my \"conspiracy theory\" means what? Do you want to argue with the financial control map uncovered in the Swiss study The Network of Global Corporate Control cited in my article Practical Reality Check II ? Look especially at the names on page 4, in Figure 2-D, like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, etc. The study states on page 5:\n\"The core is also very densely connected, with members having, on average, ties to 20 other members (Fig. 2 C, D). As a result, about 3/4 of the ownership of firms in the core remains in the hands of firms of the core itself. In other words, this is a tightly-knit group of corporations that cumulatively hold the majority share of each other.\"\nThen consider what Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said, \"...the banks, hard to believe in a time when we're facing a banking crisis that many of the banks created, are still the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill. And they frankly own the place.\"\nSo I think it's pretty clear that this control is NOT just another nutty conspiracy theory, don't you?\nYou're exactly right about the lop-sided viewpoints of both sides, because the major media never cover this stuff to any significant degree. They make anybody who does look radical and that's the end of it for most people.\nWhat I don't like about the right is they blatantly wish to hand full control over to corporate interests. They behave and talk in ways that say we should hand even more power over the government to them, and they are precisely what's wrong with government and not government per se. I'm not sure you get that, but you're right to say both parties of our government work for them. They've sewed themselves up into a duopoly. Third parties have a hugely unfair hill to climb to even get on the ballot and then the major media all cream them.\nWhat I don't like about the right is they appeal so heavily to people's basest instincts tp win and they very blatantly support legislation that serves them. I consider the moderate democratic side the least smelly of the bunch. I do vote, despite its apparent irrationality. I'm registered as an independent and pay no attention to party when it comes to electing judges. I check on the reports consisting of how their peers and lawyers who have worked in their courts rate them on multiple traits in anonymous questionnaires. It's all available online. The same turkeys always get elected anyway, some of them with the lowest ratings of the bunch, but I feel it is a matter of principle to vote, assuming that if there are eventually enough like me and they vote, it will make a difference.\n@ Joy - I think we're very close together on all that you say in this last comment. I have seen comments of yours on other articles that I don't agree with at all, but what you've just said makes total sense to me if I understand it correctly.\nHowever, there is something puzzling about one thing. You say here, \"As I understand it, your solution is to put laws and regulations in place to limit the influence and power of the corporation, whereas I believe the problem is the existence of that power to begin with.\" Then later you say, \"In my opinion, simplifying government power and regulations is the best way to remedy the situation. Note, I did not say loosening [my emphasis (Robert)] as natural law suggests that we have responsibilities to each other and to the environment [my emphasis (Robert)] as entrusted to us by future generations.\"\nI agree totally with those sentences where you see my emphasis. However, I don't see how you can talk about simplifying rather than loosening while disagreeing with my desire to \"limit the influence and power of the corporation\", as you put it. Please explain to me how we can limit corporate power without either laws that limit their growth and consequent financial power or laws that limit what they can do with that power. I suspect we need some of both. So I'm confused about what differences you see between us on this particular issue and how what the two quotes from you in my comment are compatible with each other.\nI'm all for the simplification you recommend, and in spades. But laws with enough teeth to do what you seem to imply is needed to limit and/or control corporate power imply a government strong enough to enforce them and with oversight within its own ranks to protect against corrupt insiders.\nWe need some large business enterprises to accomplish some of the things modern societies require. They shouldn't be treated as humans under the law, nor should they be allowed to get so big they can't fail without ruining an entire economy with further domino effects around the world. The only alternative is to have large governmental enterprises in order to fulfill whatever gargantuan social projects future societies might need. My reading of you is that you wouldn't go for that at all. I'm not particularly fond of the idea myself, with the exception of NASA, perhaps, and maybe some other kinds of basic research organizations.\nI see a major source of our current political problems in the huge gap that exists between the popular and very powerful technologies we use daily for which a relatively tiny portion of the population is creative, intelligent, and knowledgeable enough to generate and support and the users who remain utterly ignorant not only of the specific technologies, but of the fundamental laws of nature that govern their function and worse, the ramifications of how these technologies affect us and our environment.\nWe elect politicians who are utterly ignorant of these matters while circumstances frequently call on them to legislate regarding them. Meanwhile, we have a huge portion of the population that is anti-intellectual and even anti-science. Yet their ears stay glued to their cell phones to the point that the latter begin to look like part of their anatomical features.\nAlong with this comes a big, big labor problem. We have people from less developed countries who are smart and highly motivated to bootstrap themselves out of their very lean circumstances. At the same time, we have domestic kids who just want to have a good time with their parents' money, cars, electronic and digital toys, and have no interest in the rigorous thought that science and technology demand.\nWe also have a poor underclass without these luxuries, or relatively few of them, and who barely know how to read, if that. So as society increasingly demands rigorous technical skill and the kind of coherent thought this requires, we have a growing poverty of domestic ability to meet this requirement. Now we have tons of Indian and Chinese scientists and engineers immigrating through our universities and taking the jobs we're incapable of filling, with resulting high unemployment among people without the basic skills our jobs increasingly require and without any desire to do the jobs that the other polarity of immigrants want, the unskilled labor willing to pick crops and clean toilets for a pittance.\nThose native-born people who can't or won't work in either kind of job are just getting left out and are full of resentment about it. They are by the nature of their social environments the most psychologically predisposed to fear and prejudice easily exploited by those who have no problem making millions doing just that. This feeds back i\nThis feeds back into our politics and then we're in really deep, deep doo-doo. Heaven help us!\nHi, Joy. I like your comments just above very much. This is how I think. You know from this article and others of mine that I don't believe in any system of government that is based on any assumption other than that the vast majority of people are going to function on the basis of self-interest. That is the only practical way to look at it in my view. That is a conservative viewpoint that many here fail to recognize at all because of their knee-jerk extremism on other issues like opposing AGW that are not intrinsically conservative politically, but nevertheless are currently identified with conservative opinion. This means to them that I'm an incurable \"lib-tard\" despite my fundamentally conservative position on the importance of self-interest as the most important driver of any economy.\nHowever, assuming that people, by and large, are naturally going function in terms of self-interest must carry with it the assumption that some self-interested behavior is bound to be misguided and/or criminal, which requires some kind of policing. The citizenry delegates this power to agencies that are almost intrinsically and inevitably part of government simply because nobody is going to pay them for their vigilance if the citizens don't do it collectively for their own protection from each other, meaning from some few bad apples among us.\nThe means for doing this does indeed need to be simple and efficient. I'm fully in accord with you on that. Our expenditures to protect ourselves need to be monitored as they would be in any efficient business enterprise. The structures implemented need to have strong built-in guards against corrupting influence from positions of power both internal and external to government, though. Our current checks and balances are woefully insufficient to that task.\nCharles Cawley has a very interesting article here that may provoke some creativity regarding how government could conceivably protect itself from corruption:\nhttp://writerbeat.com/articles/1357-The-cause-of-low-productivity-it-s-not-the-employees\nEvery \"evil\" you attribute to LF Capitalism is supported by government action - not by free trade. Monopolists aren't afraid of government regulators, they're easily bought. Monopolists are afraid of competitors, which are unwittingly prohibited from entering into the market by the regulators. Look at virtually all \"Free Trade\" agreements like NAFTA - they have NOTHING to do with free trade and everything to do with protecting the sugar industry. There is no way a true free trade treaty would be more than a few pages long.\nThat's because corporate interests own too much of the government, as you just said yourself. We can't blame government for all our woes and then admit that something or some others control big chunks of it. You're on the same page with me on that one, since most of what's wrong with government is being in bed with huge corporate interests. No argument from me on that.\nBut if what you say is true, that monopolies easily buy out the regulators, that's an admission that with or without government, laissez-faire capitalism (LFC) breeds monopolies. Good! I'm right with you on that one, too. There's nothing in LFC that leads to free markets. That's what the defenders of LFC overlook: that financial power can put too much power in the hands of a few and distort free market economics just as political power can in communist systems with central planning committees. I agree that communism is much worse and its corruption much more pervasive, but that does nothing to clean up LFC.\nWhat Ayn Rand with her \"virtue of selfishness\" ideas and her worshipers overlook is that although we must all admit that everyone is primarily motivated by self-interest, there are good and bad kinds of self-interest. This should be obvious to even kindergarten kids. Some kids enjoy sharing their toys. We did. I have three siblings and at Christmas we got toys, but they belonged to all of us. The only ones that were specific to us individually were stuffed animals such as Teddy bears, etc. We grew up sharing and enjoyed sharing our toys with neighboring children. We noticed that some of those children didn't want to share their toys. They even wanted to hog ours. We also noticed they were spoiled, nasty, and mean in general. We didn't like them and generally quit playing with the ones who were like that.\nOur self interest was served by enjoying our own and everyone else's toys in a friendly environment. We didn't have to take anything away from anyone because we were just having a good time together. Now please don't accuse me of promoting socialism with this story.\nWhat I'm saying is that there is mutually productive self-interest and there is the kind of self-interest that robs and kills others for personal gain. Slavery is an extreme example, and it used to be legal in this country even after others had abandoned it long before.\nThe term selfishness generally implies the unproductive latter kind. I prefer self-interest over selfishness because it is a more neutral term that can mean either. That allows me to view self-interest as having two subcategories: selfishness and enlightened self-interest.\nI've worked in the corporate world enough to learn that good managers don't feel threatened by people with talent and bad ones do. The ones who don't fear them help talented people succeed and so build their own success on their ability to recognize, honor, and promote talent rather than fear it. The bad managers try to suppress recognition of talent because they feel it threatens their own positions. With that kind of attitude, they make themselves right, since anyone with talent and a good attitude could and should take their place. However, these managers spread ill will and low morale like a plague and hurt the company's interests in doing so.\nSo selfishness is economically counterproductive and enlightened self-interest is highly productive economically. I firmly believe in a plurality of highly competitive markets wherever possible. This is the only way that free market economics can work for the benefit of society. However, because we can gain wealth either by robbing and unfairly exploiting (which also equals robbing) others or by being productive contributors to the health of the economy, there has to be some form of policing to ensure this. The society at large is naturally responsible for making this happen for the mutual benefit of all individuals within it. This shared responsibility usually takes the form of government.\nSome people have other ideas of how to accomplish this, ranging from anarchists who think it can happen naturally and spontaneously without government to those who want to make the government responsible for almost everything. I'm not even in the middle of that spectrum, but rather lean toward the lean government side of the spectrum. How that gets structured depends on the collective wisdom of those who take the responsibility of organizing it. I think our founders did a better job than virtually anyone in history. However, I also believe that has been very heavily corrupted and not by leftists, but by corporate interests.\nIn my opinion, corporate interests get people to blame the government for the results of their corrupting influence while they hide in the background and run way t\nand run way too much of the show. They misdirect attention and try to make government even less effective in policing their nasty little games by supporting military power to protect their extractive games abroad while reducing the ability to police corporate corruption and its corrupting influence on government domestically. They've become very skilled at manipulating public opinion to fear external enemies and so distract us from noticing that they are the enemy within as well as the ones creating our enemies abroad. Most liberals also fail dismally to understand the depth of this current situation.\nMike Haluska Added Jan 3, 2014 - 11:32am\nBob - your example:\n\"A former U.S. telephone company, although not a result of laissez-faire capitalism, serves as a compelling example of economic tyranny and inefficiency in the delivery of services by a monopoly. Laissez-faire capitalism, sometimes rhetorically disguised with the euphemism \u201cfree\u201d-market capitalism, is quite simply and obviously anarchy in the economic arena.\"\nImplies that monopolies are the result of LF Capitalism - it took GOVERMENT INTERVENTION to make monopolies possible, not a feature of LFC!\nRobert Wendell Added Jan 3, 2014 - 7:41pm\nMike, I made it crystal clear that in the case of AT&T it was not caused by laissez-faire capitalism. I only mentioned it as an example of the way commercial interests behave when the become monopolies by whatever means. Please refrain in the future from picking clear side issues that become the basis for straw man fallacies that then pretend to refute my points. Your point is irrelevant to how monopolies behave, since how the telephone monopoly was created has nothing to do with the point I was making. Those of us old enough to remember know well how unresponsive and dictatorial the old AT&T was. When I began using the phone as a young boy, upon picking up the receiver a female operator said, \"Number, please.\"\n@ Mike (continued) - Mike, you don't seem to understand the meaning of laissez-faire. You talk of laws to protect economic actors from other. less scrupulous economic actors. I'm not talking about contract law, etc. I'm talking about laws that prohibit monopolistic, predatory, and crony capitalism (capitalism unduly influenced by and politically intertwined with financial interests), other such conflicts of interest, etc. Unless I completely misunderstand what you're trying to say, you seem unable to recognize that such laws and their enforcement are NOT laissez-faire capitalism. If you feel capitalism needs any kind of regulation whatsoever, you are not talking about laissez-faire. So I suggest we quit arguing about things we agree on when the problem is simply misunderstanding terminology.\nBob - so we're singing from the same choir book:\nlais\u00b7sez faire\n[les-ey fair; French le-sey fer] Show IPA\nthe theory or system of government that upholds the autonomous character of the economic order, believing that government should intervene as little as possible in the direction of economic affairs.\nthe practice or doctrine of noninterference in the affairs of others, especially with reference to individual conduct or freedom of action.\nAlso, laisser faire.\n1815\u201325; < French: literally, allow to act\nMy point is that under the above definition of LF, Free Market Capitalism will NOT produce the negative effects you spoke of. Monopolies never last under a free enterprise system because greedy potential competitors can't wait to cut in on the monopolist's business. The \"predatory\" action you speak of is also unsustainable - if you cut your prices below profit margin, you are harming yourself (long term) more than a few small competitors you kill. The instant you regain profitability, greedy new competitors will enter your market - it's like trying to manually weed the Rain Forest! Now, if you can cut your prices below your competition and make a satisfactory profit, what's wrong with that? Your customers get more value and your actions force your competitors to modernize or go out of business .... that's called progress! As the old saying goes, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!\nMike: \" Now, if you can cut your prices below your competition and make a satisfactory profit, what's wrong with that?\"\nMike: \"The \"predatory\" action you speak of is also unsustainable - if you cut your prices below profit margin, you are harming yourself (long term) more than a few small competitors you kill.\"\nYes, and bank robbery is also usually unsustainable. You still harmed valuable economic contributors with your nefarious schemes and temporarily reduced competition.\nRobert Wendell Added Jan 5, 2014 - 10:16pm\nWell, I don't know what you mean when you say, \"...you identify as 'progressive'...\" I don't identify with any label other people use that in their minds substitutes for a laundry list of political positions they pretend everyone who they slap that label on supports.\nI like progress. I don't refuse to even notice change. I aim for intelligent, positive, productive, and morally aware adaptations to reality. That eliminates me from the current crop of so-called \"conservatives\" in the U.S., which includes very few if any of the people you recently defined as conservative.\nMike Haluska Added Jan 6, 2014 - 7:43am\nBob - I agree with you 100%! Not all \"change\" is progress - if progress is defined as a higher standard of living for all. I have never called myself conservative. The so-called conservatives held all 3 branches of government when Bush was in office and they spend money like drunken sailors. Of course when Ronald Reagan said that the government \"spent money like drunken sailors\" he apologized saying \"at least drunken sailors spend their own money!\"\nI really like the Reagan quote!",

This year was no exception.\nIn their latest release of crime statistics, the South African Police Service seem to have tried to downplay crime rate increases (and exaggerate crime rate decreases), by using the wrong population estimates. The police incorrectly used the June 2018 population estimates in their analysis of the 2017/18 crime rates. This is not the first time they have made this kind of bungle.\nBut their motivation is clear. Applying the correct population estimates suggests that the country saw the biggest per capita annual murder rate increase since 1994. Last year\u2019s figures suggested that the murder rate had stabilised. But these were unfounded, as the murder rate has now risen to 36 per 100,000. The last time it was this high was in 2009. The increase is cause for serious concern.\nEven the new minister of police Bheki Cele expressed shock at the numbers, describing South Africa as being close to a \u201cwar zone\u201d. He admitted that the country\u2019s police force \u201cdropped the ball\u201d.\nA logical response might be that there is a need for more policing. According to Cele:\nWe have lost the UN norm of policing which says one policeman to 220 citizens. One police officer is now looking at almost double that.\nBut this isn\u2019t the answer. A sensible response to South Africa\u2019s rising crime rates would be twofold: a problem-solving approach that would require a close analysis of what\u2019s causing crime to rise in a given area. Then they\u2019d need to devise a plan that takes into account all the contributory factors \u2013 and involves everyone affected in addressing it.\nAnd, secondly, the country\u2019s leaders must address inequality. South Africa is a highly unequal society. It has one of the highest gini-co-efficients (a measure of inequality) in the world. Research shows that inequality and crime go hand in hand.\nAlso read: \u201cWhat should I do? Stay at home and starve?\u201d \u2013 wage theft leaves Zimbabwe\u2019s workers with an impossible dilemma\nThe question of police numbers\nPolice leaders reported that their staff numbers have gone down by 10,000 since 2010. They argued that they had 62,000 fewer police than were needed.\nPolice agencies all over the world often claim that, to reduce crime, they need bigger budgets and more officers. But the evidence that these two things automatically lead to more effective crime prevention is far from clear.\nTake the issue of police numbers. Short-term and extreme spikes in police numbers (such as in response to terrorist threats) do seem to reduce crime. But a review of a number of studies on the relationship between policing levels and crime rates suggested that the impact of more police is generally small. The paper also noted that part of the problem was that there have been few rigorous experiments on, for example, extra police resources being allocated randomly.\nBigger budgets also have mixed outcomes. This is because, very often, a significant proportion of spending on police is ineffectual. Police resources often aren\u2019t targeted, even though there\u2019s evidence that doing so produces good results.\nThis isn\u2019t hard to do: crime is highly concentrated in hot spots that are often surprisingly small and quite stable over time. With the right focus, resources could be directed to these areas. But mostly they aren\u2019t.\nWhat works best is a problem-solving approach. This involves focusing narrowly on understanding specific crime problems in specific places, and using not only police but drawing on the knowledge and resources of all parties, including other government departments and local communities.\nFor example, particular factors might be contributing to a spike in robberies in a particular area. These could include a large cohort of bored young people in the community, paths that are fertile ground for attacks because they are dark and overgrown, or unlit parks near a derelict building.\nAlso read: Three men appear in court in connection with Zanele Sandlana's murder\nMore police patrols wouldn\u2019t necessarily be the best solution. The underlying problems would need to be addressed. This might include creating a partnership between property owners, the agencies in charge of parks and lighting administration, schools and parents, and the communities that use the spaces.\nOne concern with a targeted approach is that crime is simply pushed elsewhere. But evidence suggests that the displacement effect is usually limited and that, in fact, nearby areas often enjoy a diffusion of benefits.\nThere\u2019s a more fundamental problem that needs to be solved on a national scale before South Africa\u2019s crime levels can be reduced: inequality.\nResearch shows that inequality is arguably the single best predictor of whether a country will experience high or low levels of crime and violence. Inequality\nmakes property crime more attractive and profitable;\ndrives frustration, hostility and hopelessness; and,\nundermines trust, community engagement and the functioning of social and institutional structures.\nSouth Africa is one of the most unequal countries in the world.\nMurder levels nationally have been at about this level or higher (above 30 per 100,000, which is considered very high by global standards) since at least the 1970s. High levels of violence are not a matter of police resources. They are a structural feature of this society.\nThis is not to say that the police are blameless. Among other things they should be doing more to solve cases. But addressing the key drivers of crime and violence requires that South Africa builds a much larger social partnership. It has no hope of becoming a fundamentally less violent country until it becomes a more equal one.\nThe article was orginally published on www.theconversation.com/africa\nAnine Kriegler is a Researcher and Doctoral Candidate in Criminology at the University of Cape Town\nPoverty and inequalities\nTrade unions and UCT reach an agreement\nNew movements to continue where the Arab Spring left off",

        "raw_content": "Special Session Summary Puzzles, Choirs, and Archives: Perspectives on Crossing the Quantitative-Qualitative Methodological Divide\nJames C. Ward, Arizona State University\nJames C. Ward (1997) ,\"Special Session Summary Puzzles, Choirs, and Archives: Perspectives on Crossing the Quantitative-Qualitative Methodological Divide\", in NA - Advances in Consumer Research Volume 24, eds. Merrie Brucks and Deborah J. MacInnis, Provo, UT : Association for Consumer Research, Pages: 148.\nPUZZLES, CHOIRS, AND ARCHIVES: PERSPECTIVES ON CROSSING THE QUANTITATIVE-QUALITATIVE METHODOLOGICAL DIVIDE\nThe first paper by Fournier, McQuarrie, and Mick emphasized that as consumer researchers \"break out of their boxes,\" the use of multiple methods to examine a single phenomenon or research question will become more popular. They noted, however, that writings on method and the philosophy of science have not necessarily equipped us for this task. In their view, the received view on the use of multiple methods within the same research program tends to be grounded in notions of triangulation and convergent validation: multiple methods simply grant comfort that unbiased translation of a phenomenon has been obtained. However, they point out that very little has been written on the art of negotiating findings across methods to arrive at this larger \"truth.\" They also observed that this shortcoming is confounded by a popular relativist philosophy that seems to imply that different methodological approaches, especially those broadly compared as \"qualitative\" versus \"quantitative,\" represent different \"lenses\" that render \"pictures of reality\" that are fundamentally incommensurate.\nThe presenters organized their talk into two sections. In the first, the authors proposed the puzzle as a metaphor for engaging multiple methods within the context of a single line of inquiry. They went on to elaborate this metaphor by suggesting that various qualitative and quantitative methodologies be viewed as providing pieces to a bigger puzzle of interest to the investigators. They argued that in puzzles, each piece (method) is unique, but not incommensurable, because each piece helps form a picture of a larger whole. They emphasized that convergence should not be the researcher\u0092s dominant goal. Instead, they encouraged researchers to view divergent methods as puzzle pieces that clarify one another\u0092s meaning while retaining their own validity.\nThe second portion of their talk detailed practical issues that arise in implementing the puzzle metaphor and suggested possible solutions form the authors\u0092 experiences. They observed that successful completion of the puzzle requires the researcher to ask what pieces to start with, what pieces to bring in at each stage of completion, and how emergent interpretations influence succeeding efforts to complete the picture by integrating qualitative or quantitative data. They discussed the use of qualitative data to assess and refine rather than generate grounded theory, strategies for negotiating findings across \"equally valid\" methods, and issues in crafting manuscripts of reasonable length that fit together qualitative findings, quantitative data, and statistical testing. Finally, they shared their experiences in managing multimethod manuscripts through the review process.\nIn the second presentation, Linda Price and Eric Arnould emphasized that the use of multiple methods associated with disparate paradigms is still surprisingly rare in consumer research. To suggest the theoretical and practical consequences of employing different assumptions about doing multi-method science, the presenters proposed the metaphor of doing research as if conducting a choir. They began by noting that a choir, like a research project employing disparate methods, is made up of multiple voices. Elaborating their metaphor, they observed that rather than being redundant, voices in a choir may sing in harmony, may sing partially overlapping melodic lines, may sing in different octaves, and may carry entirely different themes. Like these voices, they argued, disparate methods cannot be spoken of as better or worse than another. Instead, they urged us to see how the interplay among methodological voices may be composed by a sensitive researcher to reveal a whole greater than the sum of its parts. They continued the choir metaphor by explaining how the researcher can take advantage of multiple methodological voices by composing polyphonous cross rhythms, echoes, and interplays. They illustrated the theoretical and practical consequences of these efforts using data and conclusions from their research. They explained how multi-method research on consumption satisfaction displayed echoes, interplays, and multiplication of meanings among the multiple \"voices\" composing their study. They also illustrated how two sets of research, one on preference formation and one on commercial relationships illustrate how new patterns and melodic lines are revealed by the interplay among voices.\nThe third presentation by Ronald Hill and Beth Hirschman recounted their approach to the use of qualitative and quantitative archival data to understand consumers\u0092 experience of the Great Depression in the United States. They began by discussing their effort to reconstruct what consumers experienced during the 1930s using data collected for Harry Hopkins, the director of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). They found that Hopkins, besides collecting quantitative data on the impact of the Depression, also commissioned the collection of qualitative data to help him gain a deeper understanding of the tragedy of unemployment, its impact on people\u0092s lives, and the potential of federal relief to alleviate suffering. The presenters focused on how to blend quantitative and qualitative archival data to provide a holistic view of historic consumer behavior. Besides presenting a compelling view of the social and emotional impact of the depression, Hill and Hirschman provided many insights about the opportunities, problems, and limitations of blending and interpreting statistics, stories, and photos.\nJohn Sherry followed the presentations with a set of insightful comments that drew together the presenters\u0092 observations about the theoretical and practical advantages and problems inherent in conducting multi method research. He stimulated a lively discussion that revealed the audiences\u0092 interest in the possibility of using multiple methods in their own research programs.",

The 6\u20190\u2033 Sergent was the coach\u2019s target player, even though he spent most of his time on the wing in high school.\n\u201cAlex has the leadership skills that I\u2019ve been looking for,\u201d Hammond continued. \u201cHe\u2019s been a starter all four years and was a huge factor in his team making a run to the 13th Region championship game. His teammates really fed off of his energy.\u201d\n\u201cAfter visiting us,\u201d the coach concluded, \u201che already has good chemistry with our other players.\u201d\nAlong with shepherding the Black Bears to the 13th Region title match-up with Clay County, Sergent guided Harlan High to its first-ever 52nd District championship in 2010. He averaged in double figures throughout the last three seasons, scoring 14 points per game, and was placed on the school\u2019s 1,000 Point Club.\nUpon being asked his reason for choosing Alice Lloyd, Sergent said, \u201cI just fell in love with the environment.\u201d\nHe was also pleased to find that his friend, Barbourville guard Devon Mills, had also recently committed to play for the Eagles.\nWhile at ALC, Sergent plans to study in the College\u2019s excellent Teacher Education Program. His goals are to one day teach history and coach.\nAlice Lloyd College Athletics and Athletic Director Gary Stepp are pleased to welcome Alex Sergent as a new Eagle in Pippa Passes.\n**To read more about the signing of Alex Sergent, click here for the full report from The Harlan Daily Enterprise.\n***Photo courtesy of The Harlan Daily Enterprise.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home > Health Industry > Non-corporate health > O.T.C. I.Q.: The Science Of Self-Medication\nO.T.C. I.Q.: The Science Of Self-Medication\nTreating yourself with over-the-counter medication? Here's what you must be aware of.\nChong Pei Lan\nWith rising healthcare costs, self-medication is one way to save on healthcare bills. However, self-medication is potentially dangerous as most people do not fully understand the working of the medicines available to them and may use medicines in a risky and uncritical way. Here is a quick guide to the do's and don'ts of self-medication:\nFirst, identify your symptoms as accurately as possible\nEnsure that you have made the right choice of medication for the particular symptom. For example, if you have a colicky abdominal pain with diarrhoea from food poisoning, you should not take antacids which are meant for gastric pain.\nSecondly, know how to take the medication\nMedications today come in various forms and they have to be taken in a specific way to achieve its therapeutic effect. There are instances where patients given the right medication, fail to get better as they have taken the medicines incorrectly.\nOral Medication: these come in a variety of forms including tablets, capsules and liquids.\nChewable tablet: the tablet has to be chewed before swallowing to enhance its effect in the gut. An example is antacids\nSublingual tablet: the tablet is placed under the tongue so that it is absorbed directly into the blood stream\nEffervescent tablet: the tablet has to be dissolved in water first before consuming\nEnteric-coated tablet: the tablet has a special coating to protect it from the acidic environment in the stomach. The drug will be released further down the gut. It is important not to co-administer these medications with drugs that can alter the gastric acidity e.g. antacids.\nSlow-release tablets: these tablets release the drug over a period of time. Therefore, they must be taken less frequently. It is important to take the medication at the same time everyday.\nOther Forms of Medication\nA suppository is shaped like a bullet and is to be inserted into the rectum. The drug is released into the rectum and absorbed into the blood stream.\nA pessary is also shaped like a bullet, but is usually smaller than a suppository. It is to be inserted into the vagina. Usually an applicator is provided to aid proper insertion.\nPreparations for ears and eyes are in the form of drops and ointments and have to be applied directly into the eye or ear canal. Avoid contact between the tip of the dropper and the skin to prevent contamination.\nThe Do's You Have To Know\nHow long do you have to take the medication?\nWhen you are taking medication for self-limiting conditions such as the common cold, you may stop taking the medication when the symptoms have disappeared. However, for anti-fungal preparation, it is advisable to continue treatment for a minimum of one week.\nHow frequently do you have to take the medication?\nA medicine with a label that says, \"to be taken three times a day\" has to be administered three times a day. This will ensure that the drug level in the blood remains within the therapeutic range. A medicine that is taken too frequently will lead to toxic or even lethal blood levels. On the other hand, a medicine that is taken too infrequently will lead to sub-therapeutic blood levels and the desired effect will not be achieved.\nDo you know how to store your drug?\nSome people keep all their medication in the refrigerator. This is not necessary and may even be potentially dangerous as young children can easily mistake them as sweets. Read the product leaflets and store them appropriately.\nHave you checked the expiry date?\nMedicines that are exposed to air after opening will deteriorate with time and they will lose their potency and effectiveness. Therefore, it is important to check the expiry date and discard the medicine if the expiry date has been reached.\nHave you checked with someone in the know?\nWhen in doubt, always consult your doctor or pharmacist. They will be able to tell you how to administer the medication, how frequent to take the medication and whether or not you can take a certain medication.\nYou have to be careful to check, there is no doubt about this. Some non-prescription medications, especially painkillers containing aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen can cause damage to the kidneys. Talk to your doctor if you are taking painkillers on a frequent basis, such as on a monthly basis for period pains.\nOffer medicines to other people\nDo not insist that your family members or friends should take a particular medication just because it has worked well for you. They may have co-existing diseases of which you are not aware. The same goes to you if well-meaning friends offer you medicines.\nPractise polypharmacy\nDifferent brands of medication meant for the same condition might contain identical active ingredients. Ingesting them together would mean overdosing and is dangerous as in the many cases of paracetamol poisoning in children. Always read the product information leaflet to find out what the active ingredients are.\nMix Western medicine with altermative medicine\nAs in the above case, alternative medicines may contain active ingredients similar to those in proprietary medicines. Or they may contain chemicals which could result in unwanted drug interactions within the body. Do not underestimate the effects of your herbs and supplements.\nDelay seeking professional help\nIf symptoms persist or new symptoms such as skin rashes, breathlessness or swelling of the eyes appear, seek medical attention immediately.\nDetermine own dosage\nDo not miss any dose of the medication you are taking. If you have inadvertently missed a dose, do not double the next dose without consulting your doctor or pharmacist first.\nA person may also have predisposing medical conditions that make him unsuitable to take certain drugs. The following category of people would do well to consult the pharmacist when they seek to purchase medicines over the counter.\nSelf-Medicating By People Under Special Conditions\nMost drugs can cross the placenta freely and thus, no drug is completely safe to the developing foetus. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid taking medication during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester of pregnancy. Medicines should only be taken if the expected benefit to the mother is thought to be greater than the risk to the foetus.\nAlmost all drugs taken by a lactating mother are excreted in her breast milk to some extent. Therefore, it is advisable to seek the advice of medical professionals before taking any form of medication.\nChildren generally require a reduction in dose based on their body weight. They are also more sensitive to the effects of drugs and extra caution should be taken. Never assume what works for you will work for your infant, even if it's for a drug like paracetamol.\nElderly people are also more sensitive to effects of drugs due to the decreased liver and kidney metabolism with advancing age. Drug dosages should therefore be reduced accordingly.\nThose with co-existing diseases\nPeople with co-existing diseases such as severe asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, ischaemic heart or heart failure are more prone to the effects of certain classes of drugs. People with renal impairment, liver disease or undergoing dialysis are also more likely to develop adverse effects to drugs as the metabolism of drugs is affected.\nThere is a variety of medications that are available over the counter and from the pharmacists which one can easily purchase to treat common ailments. You can only get the best results if you are careful and responsible to check that the your use of the drugs is appropriate.\nBird C., Carol J.

        "raw_content": "Video Format: The Fastest Reach to Your Audience\nIn cooperation with TAG Media and supported by Marsh Open Space, the seventh meeting of the AmCham Marketing and Communications Group held a panel discussion on video format and on-line marketing.\nModerator of the panel, Radomir Lale Markovi\u0107, Executive Director of TAG Media, introduced the participants to the historical context of the development of video production, pointed out the key terms and developed the questions needed to lead the companies and brands in a definition of on-line video performance: target audience, a form of advertising, content, metrics & analysis and budgeting.\nAfter the introduction, Markovi\u0107 opened the panel discussion: ''Video format: the Fastest Reach to Your Audiences with the participation of Rade Tri\u010dkovi\u0107, General Manager at Httpool, Ivan Bildi, Internet Marketing Expert and Dragana Jovi\u0107 Tucakov, Marketing Manager at Microsoft.\nDuring the panel, Tri\u010dkovi\u0107 commented on the trends and the value of advertising on the Internet and said that the video format is a form of advertising that will be dominant in the coming years because with the help of videos for a short time ( an average of 60 seconds) we can gain the attention of viewers, especially if the content is attractive. Tri\u010dkovi\u0107 explained some metric specifics of video advertising on the Internet, such as measurability and segmentation, which enable companies, at every moment, to exactly defined target groups interested in the content, monitor the results and the number of views, which is not the case with TV advertising, where it is not possible to avoid the negative effects of advertising.\nIvan Bildi presented the ways in which we can implement video advertising on social networks, such as Facebook and YouTube, noting that in recent years more and more companies have decided to present products and services on social networks with the help of video advertising. In this respect, social networks offer a number of options, such as live streaming, where we can attract the attention of viewers for potential clients. The latest trend in video advertising is that the video content is unmounted, is very short and after being watched disappears forever, which will be the main challenge to which companies must adapt and implement in their marketing strategies on the Internet.\nDragana Jovi\u0107 Tucakov described some of the positive experiences of companies in the use of video advertising, where the video format can be used not only for external, but for internal communication. The data show that the percentage of video advertising has grown by over 180%, and that in the future this trend will continue to grow. This means that the percentage of use of video advertising will increase in Serbia, but now the growth rate of the budget of advertisers in Serbia is in three digits. This confirms that video advertising is our near future and it should become an integral part of marketing strategy on the Internet.\nThe panel was opened to a session of questions from the audience.\nThe event was organized in cooperation and with technical support by Marsh Open Space.\nPersonal Assistant Network \u2013 Tips for Having a Successful Day\nNew Year Cocktail for Procurement Group\nMindful Use of Influencer Marketing is the Future\nFrom Trends to Brands \u2013 Strategic and Applied Marketing 2020\nHow to Manage Costs by Outsourcing",

        "raw_content": "I felt the rhythm as I navigated through hundreds of people rushing between the trading stalls and the spazza shops on the narrow streets of Johannesburg\u2019s Central Business District (CBD). Only one sound rose above the hum of traffic and the raucous exchanges of the street traders. \u201cAyah ayah.\u201d Three women in weekend wear were dancing and singing on the corner of Bree Street and Sauer Street. Having rid themselves of their shoes, the women clutched their microphones, captivating passers-by with their energy and spirit; a crowd gathered as people stopped at the busy intersection to watch. I stood entranced as their music filled the surrounding blocks. These women were artists and seasoned performers\u2014full of passion for their craft. As the audience dispersed, I asked a man what the lyrics meant. He paused and replied, \u201cThey are singing about laundry detergent.\u201d\nPerformance on the corner of Bree and Sauer. Johannesburg, October 2013. Video still courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nWhile music and performance have the capacity to transition Johannesburg\u2019s CBD from a place of spatial control to a place with transformative possibilities, government cultural improvement policies and neo-liberal urban development stand in opposition to artists attempting to invent and reimagine the Afrofuture city.1 Under the controversial guise of a \u201cWorld-Class African City\u201d marketing campaign aimed at attracting international business and tourism, city officials concentrate their efforts on \u201cenhancing the cultural landscape\u201d through public art sculptures, piazzas, and infrastructural upgrades mirroring westernized tropes.2 Nonetheless, wrought with a tumultuous history of spatial politics and unique urban planning conditions, many of the city\u2019s large communal squares and parks remain empty shells.\nConversely, the streets croon with a pulsating energy throughout the day\u2014supplanting squares and plazas with sidewalks and street corners as the real public spaces in Johannesburg\u2019s CBD. Determined to reach the people on the ground, street performers identify with their audience through endemic performances filled with pan-African song and dance, bringing the music to the busiest thoroughfares in Johannesburg. Despite their success in invigorating the CBD, certain impediments hinder these artists from gaining a legitimate position: the historical fear of public space, the government\u2019s desire to become a \u201cWorld-Class African City\u201d and the cryptic permitting process utilized to control public gathering. Rather than acknowledging street artists as part of a common cultural solution to transform urban space, the city appears to render them invisible. The biggest hurdle for the artists is gaining a platform to perform, and their largest obstacle is obtaining a permit.\nVideo of performances on the corner of Bree Street and Sauer Street. Displayed at Taking It to the Street exhibition at Studio X Johannesburg, March 2014. Video footage courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nFEAR OF PUBLIC SPACE\nThe co-existence of informal and government-sanctioned performance spaces calls into question the psychological factors at play. Why do locals go out of their way to avoid sanctioned public space in favor of corners such as Bree and Sauer?\nThe highly sanctioned Mary Fitzgerald Square in the Newtown Art precinct sitting virtually empty a few blocks away from the corner of Bree and Sauer. Johannesburg, October 2013. Video stills courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nAt the same time the world was rising from the travails of World War II and genocide, South Africa transitioned from decades of brutal racial segregation to a codified and state-sponsored apartheid. Through widespread media censorship and normalized acts of violence, the government constructed a plan to dehumanize its black citizens, confining them to townships at the local level and Bantustans at the national level. Johannesburg\u2019s CBD was situated at the center of apartheid maps, as a symbolic icon of the segregated city and a space for the wealthy elite to run the global diamond and mining industries. While white South Africans enjoyed the luxuries of the CBD\u2019s public spaces under apartheid, black South Africans associated these sites with fear and surveillance.\nAlthough many government acts enacted under apartheid enforced segregation on an urban scale, the legislation also extended to the psyche of the individual through the Abolition of Passes and Coordination Documents Act of 1952, requiring non-European citizens to carry passbooks as a form of identification. Passbooks contained the individual\u2019s racial designation, and specified the areas in which they were allowed to reside in and travel through. These passbooks became people\u2019s identities and, if caught without one, victims could be subject to brutal interrogation by law enforcement. The 1956 Riotous Assembly Act No. 17 prohibited \u201cany outside gathering that the Minister of Justice saw as a threat to public space\u2026it allowed the government to ban any gathering that could cause hostility between black and white people.\u201d3 Therefore, public gatherings were categorized as political events punishable by force. The same legislation created to protect white South Africans effectively made public space exclusionary to black South Africans.\nThe 1994 National Regulation of Gatherings Act, enacted under the post-apartheid government, repealed several laws prohibiting government protest and gathering in public spaces. The act was meant to represent a new democratic South Africa, with a forward-thinking preamble that states, \u201cEvery person has the right to assemble with other persons and to express his views on any matter freely in public and to enjoy the protection of the State while doing so.\u201d4 Despite the initial promise of freedom of speech and expression, the Gatherings Act served the opposite purpose: minimizing public communal activities rather than promoting them. The legislation positioned the Metro Police as the most crucial element in maintaining peace at gatherings and demonstrations. Today, the Metro Police enjoy an extraordinary degree of autonomy, which has led to corruption, bribery, and exploitation of the vulnerable migrant population living and working in the CBD.\nMetro Police checking the performance permit and Asylum Seeker Temporary Permit at the corner of Bree and Sauer. Johannesburg, October 2013. Video still courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nThe underlying concern that public outdoor spaces will be used for demonstrations against the government presupposes that public gatherings will require reactionary force. As performing artists attempt to distance themselves from the residual fear of communal gathering, they are forced to contend with a history of stereotypes that render them violent participants in public space. Under the historic backdrop of surveillance, distrust, and fear of public assembly across the country, public space remains suspect, contested, and unwelcoming to the victims of apartheid. At the same time, the upper class, who once spent their daily lives in the CBD, are now terrified to return even with maximum security and the promise to remove any \u201cthreatening bodies\u201d from public space.5 Both parties do not feel welcome, placing suspicion upon current government strategies that attempt to remove \u201cforeign bodies\u201d\u2013migrants, poor people, street traders\u2014from the CBD. Who, then, is the city actually designing and building public space for?\nWORLD-CLASS FOR WHOM?\nIn \u201cSounds in the City,\u201d African cultural studies scholar Xavier Livermon captures the feeling of walking through the streets of the CBD during the day. He refers to the music and sounds of the street as \u201cforms of urban social memory.\u201d6 Livermon takes the reader on a personal journey through the street vendors lining the streets, hair braiders picking up clients passing by, music spilling out from storefronts onto the sidewalks, and shared taxis weaving in and out of taxi ranks in a synchronized dance with pedestrian foot traffic as he writes, \u201cI have been struck by the extent to which the feel of [Johannesburg] is reflected in its sound\u2026and music in particular [as] key channels of an Afro-cosmopolitan identity. Music has not only been central in the city\u2019s formation. It has contributed to its high levels of social energy, which made [music] permeable, flexible, and defiant, especially in times of struggle and racial conflict.\u201d 7 Livermon\u2019s vivification of the street affords a glimpse into why he celebrates the \u201cAfro-cosmopolitan identity\u201d over a misguided desire to clean up the city through public spaces imported from Western cities built under different circumstances and social conditions.\nWalking through the CBD. Johannesburg, October 2013. Video still courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nThe Johannesburg Development Agency\u2019s (JDA) mission is to transform Johannesburg into \u201cA World-Class African City\u201d through an ambitious deployment of public art. One of the main goals of their public art policy is \u201cto support the development of the public art industry in South Africa.\u201d8 Performing artists are currently not considered in this policy and planning effort. As Johannesburg seeks new ways to improve the CBD, their intended audience is international tourism without accounting for its current migrant population.\nWalking down Bree Street. Johannesburg, July 2013. Video still courtesy of Muhammad Dawjee.\nIn the rebuilding of the CBD, the government continues to ignore the distinctions between itself and other metropolises around the world. Rather than adapting existing spatial conditions in the city, the government overlooks existing successful design solutions in favor of their own regeneration plan. Instead of incorporating design ideas from the urban furniture of street traders, the stages formulated by performing artists and the advertising stations created by hair braiders, the government implements City Improvement Districts (CID) and privatizes streets, effectively eradicating the ad-hoc cultural vibrancy by privatizing it, severing the link between the artists and their artistic practice in the public realm.\nLarge-scale map showing performance zones and travel distances for the artists. Taking It to the Street exhibition at Studio X Johannesburg, March 2014. Photograph courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nAT BREE AND SAUER\nSituated in the cacophony of an intersection for commuters navigating through the Metro Mall Taxi Rank, traders, shoppers, and vehicular traffic, this corner is the most coveted space for weekend performances in the inner city. The corner of Bree and Sauer operates as an important node in the city\u2019s informal performance network. Street artists use this corner to reach surrounding communities\u2014especially those people passing through town\u2014and to bring inner-city residents together through a shared love of music and dance. While the corner does not have the infrastructure to support these performances, like seating or electricity, it is the artists that draw people to stop and listen to the music. At this edge, street traders sell to people passing by until the Metro Police seize their goods. When a performance is taking place, the traders provide food and drinks to the crowd, which materializes in a matter of minutes. The informal economies work together supplying goods and entertainment to the public.\nWoman sitting on a street bollard during a performance on the corner of Bree and Sauer. Johannesburg, July 2014. Video still courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nHowever, the performance is not typically seamless. One of the local performers I interviewed explained, \u201cThe generators die on the streets here. The performers can\u2019t get power from the shops because the shop owners tell us that we have to pay R4,000 [$400]\u2014so most times when you come to watch shows, you experience the generator not working and not enough funding. Yeah, what can we say?\u201d9\nAt some point during the performance the speakers, supplied by and paid for by the artists themselves, are at risk of being seized by the Metro Police who cite inadequate permits as they hand over a ticket that includes a substantial fine. The speakers are supposed to go to a warehouse for the performer to pick up after they pay the ticket fee, but in several interviews that I conducted performers noted while they finally got to the warehouse and paid, the speakers had never made it there.\nThe legacy of apartheid and its influence on public space is manifested in the permit required to use public space for performance. If an artist can navigate the permit, then Bree Street becomes a platform for them to express their artistry despite remaining an unwelcome presence to the city. Complex screening processes by government officials, which determine who is and who is not permitted to access space, have severely limited legitimate public gatherings. While the apartheid government relied heavily on passbooks to classify people, along with bylaws and other documentation to govern space, post-apartheid legislation uses more subtle means to control and limit access to the public domain. Government acts mandating permits are buried in online databases that contain all of the bylaws of South Africa. Moreover, accessing the Internet is extremely expensive in Johannesburg, and it is not accessible to many of the citizens who perform in the CBD. When the regulations are ascertained, the location to acquire a permit and the necessary documentation required to apply for the permit are not available online.10 Currently, the only way to find the correct permit-issuing office is through word of mouth. This challenge instigates formalized networks of artists coming together to transcend the cryptic bylaws that constrain them and invent creative ways to perform in public space.\nA few years ago I witnessed a performance in the CBD made possible by one woman from Jeppestown named Nothando. I watched Nothando as she set up her generator and speakers. Her sound check served as a communal call, signaling people from all directions to take their seats under the shade of the trees\u2014appropriating street bollards and flower boxes as seats once the show began. Over the course of seven hours, eleven different cultural and spiritual groups performed powerful ballads with synchronized dance routines, gospel music and traditional maskandi. Vibrant costume changes transformed the performers into entertainers. I quickly learned that this is a weekly performance, repeated by various groups each weekend. Interviews with the artists illustrate the organized network created by street performers who come together through a shared commitment to bring art and culture to the people. A single person applies for a permit and shares the space with other entertainers, splitting the cost of transporting the equipment and petrol for the generator.\nNothando setting up the performance on the corner of Bree and Sauer.

Video still courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nNothando\u2019s journey to apply for a performance permit began in 2009, when she left Zimbabwe in the hopes of a better life in South Africa. Under the Refugees Act No. 130 of 1998, Nothando was able to obtain an \u201cAsylum Seeker Temporary Permit,\u201d which granted refugee status and legal rights. When I first met Nothando in 2014 she told me that she, \u201cis a good friend.\u201d11 At the time I did not yet understand that she was the link between all of the performers at Bree and Sauer. Though Nothando does not think of herself in this way, her presence in this space and her initiative to organize permits and performers helps to supplant stereotypes of decrepit violence in the CBD. Nothando managed to create an informal network in which artists feel empowered, where they stake their claim to the city using their craft to bring people together through vibrant cultural performances. However, she and her fellow artists lack government support to streamline the permitting process to make it more accessible and include more performance opportunities.\nI have come to understand that the tedious, opaque permitting process coupled with the difficulty of procuring an Asylum Seeker Permit renders it almost impossible to legally provide entertainment to the public at the corner of Bree and Sauer. This intersection is completely controlled and monitored by the Metro Police who came to ask Nothando for a \u201cnoise permit\u201d and other documentation at least once an hour over a seven-hour Sunday session. The lingering presence of the police in the space serves as a constant reminder that even with proper authorization, this place does not belong to the inner-city tenants, migrants or commuters into the CBD from surrounding townships and suburbs. Drawing frightening parallels to the inspection of passbooks during apartheid, the South African Police Service (SAPS) or the Metro Police can request to see Nothando\u2019s permit and ID at any moment. She must carry this document with her at all times or risk being deported.\nNothando performing on the corner of Bree and Sauer. Johannesburg, July 2014. Video still courtesy of Tanya Gershon.\nThe interviews that I conducted with the artists uproot the outmoded fallacy that CBD performers are impoverished street performers. Many are employed during the week, often traveling greater distances to perform in the inner city over their weekend than it takes to get to their official places of work. Their commuting cost to and from the CBD far exceeds the funds that they receive while performing. The artists remain committed to their craft not due to monetary gain but because they fundamentally believe in their inalienable right to share art and music with others. At the risk of being fined and/or arrested, the artists that I work with believe that they are enriching Johannesburg\u2019s urban life and public spaces.\nWhile the inner-city charter seems to advocate for new artistic platforms for public art, it is clear that these policies do not account for the artists who currently perform in the CBD. As Johannesburg attempts to rebrand itself as a \u201cWorld-Class African City\u201d the policies contribute to a disjunction between the content and the form of the city, and the intended audience versus the actual audience. In order to create meaningful site-specific art interventions rather than perpetuate a fragmented public infrastructure, planners and policymakers must build upon the street performers\u2019 knowledge of the city and engage in a dialogue with them. Street performers facilitate an energy that simultaneously commands attention and demands pause in the daily bustle of the CBD, determining and amplifying the rhythm of the street. Nevertheless, the street performer remains an outsider\u2014constantly battling for validation and dignity in an arena that is intrinsically against their presence in the space.\nArtist\u2019s Stories.

        "raw_content": "Cetuximab did not reduce toxicity compared with cisplatin.\nCisplatin was associated with superior recurrence and overall survival rates.\nIn the phase III De-ESCALaTE trial reported in The Lancet, Mehanna et al found no difference in severe toxicity with cisplatin vs cetuximab (Erbitux) plus radiotherapy in low-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer. Cetuximab was associated with poorer recurrence and survival outcomes.\nIn the open-label trial, 334 patients with HPV-positive low-risk oropharyngeal cancer (nonsmokers or lifetime smokers with a smoking history of < 10 pack-years) from 32 sites in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom were randomly assigned between November 2012 and October 2016 to receive radiotherapy at 70 Gy in 35 fractions, plus either intravenous (IV) cisplatin at 100 mg/m\u00b2 on days 1, 22, and 43 of radiotherapy (n = 166) or IV cetuximab at a 400 mg/m\u00b2 loading dose followed by 7 weekly infusions of 250 mg/m\u00b2 (n = 168).\nThe aim of the trial was to determine whether the cetuximab strategy could reduce the toxicity associated with standard cisplatin treatment. The primary outcome measure was overall acute and late grade 3 to 5 toxicity at 24 months from the end of treatment.\nSevere and All-Grade Toxicity\nMedian follow up was 25.9 months. In intent-to-treat analysis at 24 months, the mean number of acute and late severe adverse events per patient was 4.8 in the cisplatin group vs 4.8 in the cetuximab group (P = .98). The mean number per patient of any-grade events was 29.2 vs 30.1 (P = .49).\nIn the acute period, there was no difference in severe toxicity (mean = 4.4 vs 4.4 events per patient, P = .84) or any-grade toxicity (mean = 20.0 vs 20.4 events per patient, P = .64). No difference was observed in late severe toxicity (mean = 0.4 vs 0.5 events per patient, P = .53) or late any-grade toxicity (mean = 9.4 vs 9.9 events per patient, P = .49). Similar results were found in the per-protocol population.\nRecurrence and Survival Rates\nTwo-year overall survival was 97.5% in the cisplatin group vs 89.4% in the cetuximab group (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.0, P = .001) and 2-year recurrence rates were 6.0% vs 16.1% (HR = 3.4, P = .0007). It was estimated that the use of cetuximab instead of cisplatin was associated with 1 extra death at 2 years for every 12 patients treated.\nThe investigators concluded, \u201cCompared with the standard cisplatin regimen, cetuximab showed no benefit in terms of reduced toxicity, but instead showed significant detriment in terms of tumor control. Cisplatin and radiotherapy should be used as the standard of care for HPV-positive, low-risk patients who are able to tolerate cisplatin.\u201d\nHisham Mehanna, PhD, of the Institute of Head and Neck Studies and Education, University of Birmingham, is the corresponding author for The Lancet article.\nDisclosure: The study was funded by Cancer Research UK.

        "raw_content": "Blog Entry #29 October 2, 2013 \u2013 Grand Canyon National Park, Glen Canyon Dam & Horseshoe Bend\nSince the Grand Canyon National Park was closed, the folks at the Jacob Lake Inn provided us with a hand-sketched, not-to-scale map of a 30+ mile un-paved and mostly un-marked single lane route to a location outside the National Park boundaries where one could view the Grand Canyon from its north rim. Due to road conditions they estimated it to be a 3 hour round trip. We considered this excursion, but I really did not want to beat up the wagon\u2019s suspension for that length of time.\nWe elected instead to take the 120 mile trip down to the south east entrance of Grand Canyon National Park; the entry point of the 1920 Park-to-Park tour group. The major difference is that while the Park-to-Park tour group was cordially invited in to the Park and provided lodging at the 100-room El Tovar Hotel on the Canyon\u2019s south rim, we were greeted by signs clearly indicating that we were not welcome to proceed into the Park. We, having anticipated this, took a few photos to document our presence and headed up to Page, Arizona for our evenings stop on the way to Mesa Verde \u2013 where we anticipated receiving the same rebuff.\nFortunately, we had previously been to the Grand Canyon. For our 25th wedding anniversary (I\u2019m trained to say \u201cseems like yesterday\u201d), Jean and I had taken a 7 day rafting trip down the Colorado River through the 250 mile length of the Grand Canyon. Of course the canyon was much shallower back then.\nSoutheastern closed entrance to Grand Canyon National Park \u2013 note the stickers for the National Parks that we had visited to this point\nWith the final length of direct path north (AZ-89) from the south rim of Grand Canyon National Park to Page, Arizona being closed, we were detoured onto a temporary route (AZ-89T). While fueling up for this leg we inquired as to the condition of this temporary route north \u2013 this is very desolate territory. We were assured that with the exception of the initial short climb to the top of the mesa, the ride would be smooth and effortless. That was in fact the case. They had apparently recently re-paved the road in anticipation of closing the primary route. This temporary route was lightly traveled (we always worry about holding up faster drivers), and being on the top of the mesa, provided some excellent views of the surrounding terrain \u2013 another prime example of the road less traveled.\nOn the temporary road to Page, Arizona\nThe World\u2019s Largest Petrified Cow Pie along the road to Page, Arizona\nWe arrived in Page, Arizona a couple of hours before sunset. I refer to sun time because as in other areas of the central west one cannot be sure of clock time. The hotel had two clocks on the wall set an hour apart \u2013 one was local (Pacific Time) and the other was some other local time. We unloaded the Jeep (which at this point in the Trek means scooping up armfuls of loose belongings along with a total of 5 computer and travel bags \u2013 so much for strategic packing.) The folks at the Powell Museum/Visitors Center provided a hand-drawn map of local sites. With the sun falling in the sky (we do not like to drive at night due to lack of side marker lights), we first set off for Horseshoe Bend lookout which provides a breathtaking (literally for acrophobiacs like myself), views of a very tight u-turn in the Colorado River. It was a good \u00bd mile walk to the edge of the canyon from the parking lot, and as we neared the rim I felt my joints stiffen up and my breathing shorten. I managed to get within 10 feet of the edge to take one photo of the river bend below; all the time being certain I would at any moment be flung by some explicable force over the edge never to be seen again. Fortunately, Jean and I had been getting along reasonable well at this point (at some other times also), so I was quite sure she was not to be source the force shoving me over into the abyss.\nThe trail leading to Horseshoe Bend in the Colorado River south of Page, Arizona\nLooking down on to the Colorado River at Horseshoe Bend south of Page, Arizona\nWe made the trek up to the parking lot to retrieve our Jeep and headed over to the site of the Glen Canyon Dam, which, although smaller than her sister Hoover Dam a few hundred miles downstream, was still very impressive to view. The Visitors Center was closed due to the US Government spending cuts; however, the parking lots and viewing points were still accessible. I wonder if they are still funding the guy who stands ready with a freshly masticated wad of chewing gum to plug any leaks in the face of the dam.\nGlen Canyon Dam across the Colorado River near Page, Arizona\nWe had a nice meal at a local American Indian run Italian restaurant and retired for the evening.\n10-2-13 Going over the Colorado River on the way to the south rim of the Grand Canyon\n10-2-13 Road from Grand Canyon National Part to Page,AZ\n10-2-13 Crossing bridge at Glen Canyon Dam, Page,AZ\n5 Responses to \u201cBlog Entry #29 October 2, 2013 \u2013 Grand Canyon National Park, Glen Canyon Dam & Horseshoe Bend\u201d\nDoug Alexander says:\nTravellers !\nEnjoyed catching up some via the blog on your journey and glad to see you are still having a great time.\n(..but indians operating an italian restaurant ?! \u2026are you sure you did not make a wrong turn and end up translocated onto the set of a spaghetti western ?)\nNancy was excited to see Glen Canyon Dam.

We\u2019ll have to get together for your photos and our\u2019s (Italy).\nGood Morning Laurie, Nice to hear from you. We were able to visit all but the Grand Canyon and Mesa Verde.

Successfully repaired over the past two days \u2013 so on to Kansas and our way back to North Carolina. Happy to hear that you got to see some nice scenery. Regards, Dan\nGlad to read all is going well despite the government\u2019s meddling! Just glad you got so many of the parks under your belt before the shut down kicked in.

They know each other\u2019s strengths and weaknesses, they\u2019ve discussed a strategy beforehand but of course, that can all mean nothing when they go face-to-face against one of the UK\u2019s finest quiz brains.\u201d \u2013 Michael Kelpie, Managing Director at Potato\nThe six episode run will begin on ITV later this year, with each show featuring four family members trying to best the chaser for the opportunity to win a cash pot worth thousands.\nThe contestants will each answer a series of general knowledge questions in a bid to make it into the final chase, where they will then face the chaser once again for the chance to walk away with a cash prize.\nThe Chase, hosted by comedian and actor Bradley Walsh, launched on ITV in 2009 as one a of number of new formats to air in the 5pm weekday slot. There has already been spin-offs from the regular format with a celebrity version launching in 2011.\n\u201cThe Family Chase compliments both the Daytime weekday and Celebrity primetime shows. With even more fun and banter between Bradley, chasers and the families, it still delivers all the core values that has made The Chase a firm favourite with the viewers.\u201d \u2013 Michael Kelpie, Managing Director at Potato\nIn addition to the new UK commission, The Chase is now made in over ten countries including Germany, Norway, the USA and Australia \u2013 where it is the country\u2019s number one quiz show \u2013 and has been recommissioned seven times in five different countries over the past year.\nThe Chase is on\u2026 Bradley Walsh (centre) with the regular experts, Anne, Shaun, Mark, Paul and Jenny\nAmerica Ferrera joins The Good Wife\nWhat\u2019s the Right Exercise for You? asks Channel 4\nBBC One begin production on three new Sherlock episodes\nComedian Susan Calman to host Top Class for CBBC\nMichael Palin & Terry Jones\u2019 The Complete & Utter History of Britain released on DVD\n\u2018Loose Women and Kids\u2019 Easter special for ITV",

        "raw_content": "JCCS is one of the more wholesome shows one can go to. A humbling experience as it takes us through the past vehicles that helped to define our culture today. Not only does it take us through a time warp of vehicles 25yrs and older, but also through the styles and designs that made our industry shine. Just machines many of us grew up with and helped to shape us into the car maniacs that we are. Unfortunately, due to circumstances of us needing to be back at the shop, we were only able to stay there for a little over a hour, but we tried to make the most of it.\nWalking up and down the rows of vehicles, you get a sense of pride with each vehicle. Many of the cars on display are even some of the original owners. Having the same car for years on end and still, as pristine as the day they bought it, its a beautiful thing. Modifications come in various styles as well, but each one unique to each individual and each car. It makes for some interesting results. Interesting only because there\u2019s a style that will appease at least someone going. Making them go \u201cooohhh look at that\u201d as they go up to the car to get a closer look and absorb everything thats going on.\nI think thats part of the beauty and wonder of events like this. Walking around, seeing cars that some of your older friends had or even some your parents had. It helps to rekindle old memories that only you can share with certain people. It\u2019s one of the more fun events thats full of culture and history and we\u2019re definitely looking to hopefully join in on the festivities ourselves one day with our own car. Till next time!",

        "raw_content": "Steven Moffat: \u201c\u2018Sherlock\u2019 and \u2018Doctor Who\u2019 Are Obtusely British\u201d\nSteven Moffat (AP Images)\nSteven Moffat is more than qualified to comment on the way foreign territories enjoy imported TV shows. The two series he is most closely associated with\u2014Doctor Who and Sherlock\u2014both have huge worldwide audiences and have made international stars of their leading actors. However, one thing he is clear on is that the best way to make a TV show a success is to think locally.\nSpeaking at last week\u2019s BBC Worldwide showcase, in which executives from global TV networks decide which BBC shows to syndicate, he explained why some shows get remade for local audiences, and why it\u2019s important for creatives not to try and appease a global audience at the expense of a homegrown one.\nWhen asked why his early-2000s BBC comedy series Coupling was remade by NBC for an American audience (it lasted four episodes), rather than just syndicated, he replied:\n\u201cWe mostly watch shows made by our own country. There are no shows from America that are big hits in Britain. They\u2019re all minor hits. Your mates may talk about them but no-one\u2019s watching them. They\u2019re getting squashed by the locally-made shows. Always.\u201d\nAnd while it\u2019s true that there are certain channels that appear to depend on repeats of hit American cartoons and comedies for their viewers, it\u2019s certainly the case that the Top 10 shows in Britain are British shows, whether that\u2019s primetime talent searches, soaps, comedies or dramas.\nThere are, of course, some exceptions, with Doctor Who being a prime example. Not just popular on a worldwide level, it\u2019s so distinctively local in outlook that a remake of any sort would destroy what makes it work in the first place.\n\u201cDoctor Who\u2019s everywhere,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can bump in to the Doctor anywhere,\u201d adding that the series has, \u201cprobably penetrated enough that it\u2019s no longer regarded as an import, it\u2019s just that show.\u201d\n\u201cSherlock and Doctor Who are both doing rather well but they couldn\u2019t be more definitively British. They\u2019re obtusely British. They\u2019re about as British as it gets. You shouldn\u2019t be afraid of being British because that\u2019s what you\u2019re selling.\u201d\nAnd of course, if a remake were to be proposed and the Doctor were no longer British in demeanor (albeit British via Gallifrey), would he even be the Doctor?\n\u201cIf anyone were to ask me, I\u2019d say it\u2019s an absolutely insane idea. You couldn\u2019t have more than one Doctor Who in the world. It would just be dreadful.\u201d\nIt would certainly make for busier panels at Comic-Con.\n10 Reasons Why Steven Moffat\u2019s \u2018Sherlock\u2019 is the Best\nSteven Moffat Conducts Interview with Benedict Cumberbatch\nSteven Moffat: \u201cWhy Would We Make \u2018Sherlock\u2019 Into A Movie?\u201d\nSteven Moffat Adds Further Twists To The Regeneration Riddle\nFiled Under: Doctor Who, Sherlock, Steven Moffat",

Schematic expressions of colour and pattern set up a tension between perceived and constructed space, bringing into question traditional notions of linear perspective. The layered materials, patterns and geometric motifs of Helen\u2019s imagery are drawn from a diverse range of visual resources, including the landscape, religion, architecture and textiles. Helen adopts these elements to explore how diverse cultural perceptions are linked through cross-cultural symbols. For example, \u201cthe idea of a representative, emblematic body being projected onto the random patterns of the heavens or onto the features of a landscape is one that crosses ages and cultures.\u201d Helen also works according to the principles of classical balance and structure \u201c\u2026to reveal the power and the beauty of the still point or moment when the dynamic and shifting internal forces achieve equilibrium.\u201d\nHelen Geier trained at Alexander Mackie College and the National Art School in Sydney and has post-graduate qualifications from St Martin\u2019s School of Art, London and RMIT University, Melbourne.

        "raw_content": "Carpenter bees are often confused with bumble bees, due to their size, color, and shape. They are both fuzzy, approximately 3/4\u2033 long with yellow and black markings. The major difference is their abdomen. The carpenter bee\u2019s abdomen is bare and shiny black; bumble bees have a hairy abdomen, normally with yellow markings.\nCarpenter bees, unlike most other species, are solitary bees. They build their nests for themselves and to feed their young. Carpenter bees get their name from their practice of drilling holes into wood. They do not eat the wood. They either discard it or use it for nesting material. Nests can be found in tree branches, eaves, window trim, fascia boards, siding, wooden shakes, decks, beams and outdoor furniture. This does not usually cause structural problems, but the holes can be unsightly when on your home. Unlike most other species, carpenter bees continue to use these cavities year to year, usually hibernating in the nest over winter.\nMost people come into contact with male carpenter bees. However, males do not have a stinger, therefore cannot sting. Females will sting, but usually only if greatly threatened.\nDue to the damage done to homes, exterminating carpenter bees may be the only solution. Please contact our office for more information.",

        "raw_content": "Monday Motivation | Use the \"Micro-Method\" to beat procrastination\nProcrastination is something that we all deal with to some extent. Even people with clear goals & action steps on how to achieve them still have to overcome it. Each Sunday or Monday, I reflect on what I want to accomplish for the week ahead. Many times I find myself carrying over some of the same \"to-dos\" that were on the list last week (and even the week before). That's when I've gotta to come to grips with the fact that I've been avoiding these tasks.\nSometimes I try to pump my self up to do it, or I'll even assign a day and time when I'll get it done, but it rarely seems to work. And, the longer it stays on my list, the more I tend to procrastinate. So I'm trying a new strategy. Instead of re-writing the same actions over and and over again, I plan to practice acting with urgency.\nI'll employ what I coined as the \"micro-method\" to move myself into quick action. The micro-method looks something like this:\nUnreasonable Deadlines//\nOne mistake I've been making is not including a deadline/due date, when I write down my goals. Instead of saying that I'll get this thing done on Wednesday, I just write it down and hope that I somehow do it. Using the \"micro-method I basically set unreasonable deadlines to get something done. For example, on my list of actions was to take some updated product images and format them for upload online. Days passed and still no images. At 4:20 pm I decided to employ the micro-method. I had until 4:35 pm to get it done! Yep, I had only 15 minutes to have a finished image. Off I went to meet this ultra tight deadline. And, to be honest, it was kinda fun...like a game. Needless to say, I got it done.\nWith ultra short deadlines, we shift our mindset from making excuses to figuring out how to get it done quickly. Time is ticking....\nTake Micro Actions//\nThe other aspect of the micro-method for overcoming procrastination is to take micro actions. Sometimes our minds tend to have the tendency to over exaggerate how hard it is to do something. We listen to the excuses and put of the action for another day. Instead, I urge you to take a micro action. I've been putting off meditating lately because I lied to myself convinced myself that I just don't have enough time.\nSo I asked myself, do you have 1 minute to meditate? Of course the answer is yes. So I set my timer for a minute and meditated. Suddenly, the activity that I had no time for was over in what seemed like record time. Immediately, I reset the clock for 3 minutes. Again, the minutes seemed to breeze by. At first I \"had no time\" to meditate, now, I wanted to do it even longer. The same method could be used for physical exercise or writing your book. Writing is definitely one of those actions that seems daunting if you just sit around thinking about it. But when you start, you find yourself in a state a flow and want to keep going. The hardest part is starting and the micro-method may just be the way to get started.\nThe absolute best part of the Micro-Method is that it's like a gateway drug to greater levels of action. You can't have just a little. Once you start doing what you've been putting off, you feel great and you build momentum. Soon you'll find yourself doing more and more. It becomes addictive. Taking the micro-action of jumping on the trampoline led to a walk at a nearby park, which lead to a early gym session this morning. Last week, I thought I was too busy to work out. Today, I can't wait to incorporate more physical activity into my day.\nThis micro-method is really powerful. I urge you to become a user (sorry for bad pun).\nshea.something December 16, 2015 at 3:39 PM\nThis post motivated me to start my blog, and work out. I can say I'll be successful for a week but it's just maintaining that excitement or commitment rather once those 'feel good' hormones wear off. I also recommend telling your accountability partner or making the goal public in order to make it official. (has worked for me).\nThanks again! I've been reading all of your posts. This is my 20th one lol\nvery informative and straight to the point.\nYou've had your blog product up for a while..is it updated to 2015/2016?",

        "raw_content": "Discovering true union and lasting happiness\nOur deepest desire is for Union. I join you in a prayer of trust that all things are working together for good. Offer your mind and your function to the Holy Spirit that everything may serve the Highest Good. The subtleties of the ego are exposed simply in this way: The ego\u2019s plan for salvation demands that something should be different than it is. The ego believes that happiness and peace can arise from changing the script. A miracle is a change of mind that happily shows that the script cannot be changed. I join you in this holy prayer: \u201cLet all things be exactly as they are.\u201d This is a Workbook lesson from A Course In Miracles (ACIM).\na course in miracles youtube\nYou are the Light of the world. Shine this Light wherever you may seem to be, for as you allow It to shine through you will experience the Joy of God that knows no emptiness. Inner Joy will attract many witnesses as you Awaken to Divine Love. As devotion is placed in experiencing the Joy within, the seeming outer world will reflect this Joy. The happy dream of non judgment precedes Awakening.\nYou are entitled to Great Joy! Stay focused on what you want to experience and observe that the chips of the world have fallen where they have fallen. Thank You God for Giving the Joy of creation without end. Thy Will Be Done, and all creation gives thanks.\nIn heaven there is free will. The only reflection in this world of heaven is the power to choose. What you have the power to choose, moment by moment, is your state of mind. It seems in this world that there are other choices. It seems as if every day is filled with a menu of choices \u2013 when to wake up, which dress to wear, where to go, who to call, what to eat. These are all delusions of decisions, for the script of the world is already written. That is why the psychics are able to predict events with much accuracy. All events, encounters and circumstances of the scripts of this world are the past. Moment by moment, you have the power to interpret what you are seeing. You can interpret it with the Holy Spirit \u2013 in which case you will have peace and happiness \u2013 or you can interpret it with the ego which analyzes and breaks apart and judges. The mind is always upset when it is interpreting events with the ego.\nA Course In Miracles (ACIM) helps put you in direct contact with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is always direct, but the fear of healing means the Holy Spirit must work with the willingness of the mind to release the fear. God\u2019s Will is for Perfect Happiness, and every seeming problem and situation dissolves before the remembrance of Christ and God in the Holy Instant. The mind must be trained to unlearn everything it believes about the world and self, including the release of judgment, to make way for the remembrance of the Present. All perceptions of mistreatment and injustice are misinterpretations, and miracles offer glimpses of another Way of looking upon the world. The spiritual journey is a journey inward, and forgiveness is the release of all illusions. Complete forgiveness brings the peace that passes the understanding of the world. With willingness to forgive every thing and every body there is a willingness to release the past. The complete release of past-future thinking brings Present rest and contentment and lasting Happiness.\nThe correction of faulty \"cult thinking\" and misuse of a course in miracles at Endeavor academy",

        "title": "Saint Patrick Biography",
        "raw_content": "Saint Patrick Biography\nSaint Patrick (circa 420's - March 17, 492/93) is the patron saint of Ireland. He was born somewhere along the west coast of Britain in the little settlement or village of Bannavem of Taburnia (vico banavem taburniae in his Confession), which has never been securely identified. It was probably on a coast in the south of England, (sites suggested include Dumbarton and Somerset) for raiders captured Patrick with \"many thousands of people\" and sold them as slaves in Ireland.\nHis father was Calpornius, a deacon, son of Potitus, a priest in the era before celibacy was ordained for priests, who was a Romanised Briton. A questionable old tradition makes his mother from the upper-class Gaulish family of Martin of Tours, though Patrick makes no such prideful claim. According to his Confessio at the age of about sixteen, Patrick was captured and taken to Ireland as a slave to a Druidic chieftan named Milchu in Dalriada, County Antrim (though Fochill in Co. Mayo is the more likely setting).\nAlthough he came from a Christian family he was not particularly religious before his capture. However, his enslavement markedly strengthened his faith. He escaped at the age of twenty-two and returned to Britain, reuniting with his parents and later becoming one of the first Christian clergymen in Ireland, being preceded by men such as Pallidius (c.380-457/61).\nHis first converted patron was Dichu, who made a gift of a large sabhall (barn) for a church sanctuary. This first sanctuary dedicated by St. Patrick became in later years his chosen retreat. A monastery and church were erected there, and there Patrick died; the site retains the name Sabhall (pronounced \"Saul\").\nThe story of the annual vernal fire that was to be lit by the High King at Tara, when all the fires were extinguished, to be renewed from the sacred fire from Tara, and of Patrick's rival, miraculously inextinguishable Christian bonfire on the hill of Slane at the opposite end of the valley, is famous among his many exploits. The season was associated with Easter (compare the British season of Eostre) by the Christian chroniclers who followed Patrick's own account in his Confessio,\nHe was one of the earliest writers to advocate the abolition of slavery.\nPatrick was not the first Christian missionary to Ireland, as men such as Secundus and Pallidius were active in the south of the island long before him. However, tradition accords him the most impact, and his missions do seem to have being concentrated in the provinces of Ulster and Connaught which had never received Christians before.\nMythology credits him with banishing snakes from the island of Ireland, though others suggest that for climatic reasons Ireland never actually had snakes; one suggestion is that \"snakes\" referred to the serpent symbolism of the Pagan priests of that time and place, the Druids, possibly shown by their tattoos or that it could have referred to Pelagianism, symbolized as an Old-Testamental \"serpent\".\nLegend also credits Patrick with teaching the Irish about the concept of the Trinity by showing people the shamrock, a three-leaved clover, using it to highlight the Christian dogma of 'three divine persons in the one god' (as opposed to the Arian heresy that was popular in Patrick's time).\nIt is unknown on what date he was born and died but it is believed that March 17 was his death date (according to the Encyclopedia Britannica), and it is the date popularly associated with him as his Feast Day (known as St. Patrick's Day).\nSaint Patrick Resources\nThis article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.

My hope is this will become a tool that will bring all of us together.\u201d\nFor a year now, the team has been represented at dozens of communit, school and chamber events throughout Central and Western Florida, literally reaching out from Orlando to Tampa, most recently at the ManXpo at the RP Funding Center.\nAnd, after each arena and outdoor match, players are available on the pitch to sign autographs for the hundreds of youngsters who regularly line up to meet their local sports heroes.\n\u201cI think the most important message we have is that we are here to be together. Soccer is just a venue for us, getting to know each other, supporting each other. Soccer may be exciting, it may be entertaining, but it\u2019s just one small step for the community to come together,\u201d Dr. Iakovidis added. \u201cWe have many, many difficult tasks that we have to solve, and none of us can solve them by ourselves, no matter how much power we have, how much money, all of us as a community have to come together to solve those problems. This is part of what my fortunes in life have brought me to.\u201d",

She became familiar with the dynamics of production and organizational structures for artisanal textile weavers in the region. She also saw how unstable and uncertain work for them could be.\n\"This is a livelihood for many people in Latin America, and their traditional art is dying as their markets are flooded with cheap clothing,\" Zehner said. \"The local community is not their market anymore.\"\nWeaving on back strap looms \u2014 stabilized on one end by a strap that wraps around the back of the weaver \u2014 has been part of the culture in the region for thousands of years, but as mass produced clothes have made their way to Latin America, locally woven goods have been phased out. As a result, the people that make them have become dependent on tourism for business, but the tourism industry is seasonal and not consistent.\nSince 2014, Zehner has sought to help stabilize business for weavers in Nicaragua and Guatemala. She established Living Threads Co., a social enterprise that connects goods woven in these countries with US market.\nBased in Reston, Virginia, Zehner travels to Nicaragua several times per year, where she works with weaving groups to design products inspired by their culture, and then place orders with the weavers to produce goods like table linens, scarves and pillows. These products are sold in Living Threads Co. pop-up shop locations, currently in Reston, Virginia and online.\n\"Throughout the year, we are able to do small orders from all our groups to ensure all weavers are employed throughout the year, providing year round income and helping to preserve this traditional art. \u201d Zehner said.\nAlong with placing orders with weavers, Living Threads also offers its partners micro credit loans and training, which help them build their small business as well as better understand the global marketplace they are now a part of. Through partnerships with local non-profits and on the ground training, Living Threads Co. also connects artisans to local markets, such as eco-resorts. In addition to partnerships in Guatemala and Nicaragua, the company has expanded to include weavers in India and Nepal.\nZehner will be part of a Brandeis alumni career panel in Washington, DC, to be held on Jan. 12.

March 1982, There were 24 members present.\nThe item that occupied most time was a long discussion of the Committee's proposal to increase the subscription rates for 1983 to 2, 4, 6, 8 for Student, Club, Unattached and Overseas members respectively.\nIn justifying the increase the Treasurer, Bob Thompson, mentioned growth of activities, inflation, reduced membership and investment for the future. Some members wanted the Committee to specify in advance what the extra money would be spent on. The new rates were eventually accepted by 15 votes to 9, after amendment of the overseas members' rate from 8 to 7.\nIn the election of Officers, Toby Manning was reelected unopposed as President. He said he was standing for the office for the last time, so presumably we shall have a new president by this time next year. Bob Thompson, who had taken over as acting Treasurer, was elected unopposed as Treasurer and I was elected unopposed as Secretary. There was an actual election for the five Committee places, in which those elected were Stuart Dowsey, Matthew Macfadyen, Richard Granville, Andrew Grant and Mike Cockburn.\nThere was some discussion of Go Tutor. Everyone seems to think the series is very good, but although everyone wants to read some more no-one wants to write them. This is a common feature of all our publications (please note - Ed.)\nMention was made of the European Go Congress for 1983, which will be held in Edinburgh, and the British Go Congress for 1983 which will be held in Warwick.\nThis brief account of the meeting cannot, unfortunately, convey any of the real flavour of the event, which was one of the most entertaining AGM's for some years.\nNorman Tobin, Hon.

        "title": "9 Guidelines to the Dental Implants Procedure - Buzzilla Blog",
        "raw_content": "You are at:Home\u00bbHealth\u00bb9 Guidelines to the Dental Implants Procedure\nBy Annie Vera January 1, 2018 No Comments\nOur smiles have a tremendous impact on the way we feel about ourselves. When you lose a tooth, unexpectedly, or because of long-term effects of gum disease or decay, it can be disconcerting.\nSome people leave the space empty. This can have a detrimental effect on self -confidence and cause further dental problems. Others choose bridges or dentures, but they are frustrated by damage to natural teeth, movement, or speech disturbances.\nThankfully, there is another option to deal with missing teeth. Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth. They can support a singe artificial tooth as well as partial or full dentures. They look and feel natural. If you are planning on having dental implant surgery, there are several things you can expect:\n1. Multiple Appointments\nFirst, you\u2019ll have a comprehensive exam to decide if you are a good candidate for the surgery. The team will take x-rays and might make models of your teeth and the inside of your mouth.\nYou\u2019ll be working with several professionals throughout the process. Your team will likely include an oral surgeon, a periodontist, and a restorative dentist as well as a lab technician and dental assistants.\nAfter seeing the results of your examination, they will decide whether you will need bone grafts or not, determine the number of appointments needed, and choose the type of anesthetic (local, general or sedation) that is best for you. Remember to have someone take you home if you are having a general.\n4. Tooth Removal\nThe next step is removing the damaged tooth, if it is still in place.\nFor patients whose jawbone is too thin or too soft, a bone graft may be necessary. Bone from elsewhere in your body can be moved to the implant site, or artificial bone may be used. Bone grafting creates a solid base for the implant, so it will be strong enough for the tooth to function. After this surgery, you may need to wait months, for healing and new bone growth to happen.\nAt the next appointment, the surgeon will cut the gum to expose the jaw bone, drill into the bone and put the metal post in place. More time will pass as the site heals and the titanium fuses to the bone.\n7. Placement of the Abutment\nIf the metal post is very stable, the dentist will put the abutment in place. This is an extension of the metal post where the crown will be attached. If the post isn\u2019t stable yet, he or she will need to cut the gum open again, at the next visit, to attach the abutment and more healing time will be needed.\n8. Impressions and Placement\nFinally, the team will use impressions of your mouth to create your new crown (artificial tooth), designed with your colour and style preferences in mind.\n9. Minor Discomfort Is Expected\nAs with any surgery, you might see swelling, bruising, pain, or minor bleeding. Dental implants sound complicated but most patients say they experience minimal discomfort.\nAlthough many patients will require multiple visits, some will be candidates for \u201cTeeth in a Day\u201d. With this option, you will need visits, ahead of time, for consults, design and fitting, but you will be able to go home, on surgery day, with a full set of teeth.\nDentists have been performing implant surgery for over 50 years, with a very high success rate. If you are seeking a solution to replace missing teeth, dental implants might be just what you are looking for.\nPrevious Article5 Ways to Get Foreign Currency Exchanged\nNext Article 4 Guidelines to Properly Handle a Car Accident",

        "raw_content": "News and eventsPress ReleasesCambridgeshire\u2019s\u2026\nCambridgeshire\u2019s Independent Custody Visitors praised during National Volunteering Week\nCambridgeshire\u2019s Police and Crime Commissioner Sir Graham Bright today paid tribute to the work of the county\u2019s Independent Custody Visitors as the nation celebrates the contribution made by the UK\u2019s volunteers.\nThere are 25 volunteer Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) working across Cambridge and Peterborough paying weekly visits to the Force\u2019s main custody centers to monitor the standard of facilities and the wellbeing of detainees. They also visit custody facilities in Huntingdon, March and St Neots on a monthly basis.\nDuring 2014/15, the Independent Custody Visitors made 133 visits to the five custody suites and spoke to a total of 377 detainees about the conditions of the facilities and their overall treatment.\nTheir work has been highlighted by Sir Graham as the nation marks Volunteers\u2019 Week \u2013 a national event running from June 1 to 7 to celebrate the efforts of the UK\u2019s millions of volunteers.\nSir Graham said: \u201cVolunteers make a huge difference to their local communities and donate their precious time freely for the benefit of others. Our Independent Custody Visitors provide a hugely valuable service, upholding the rights and entitlements of the detainees being held in our custody facilities and ensuring standards are maintained and improved in the future.\n\u201cThere is no better way of delivering openness and accountability to local people than by appointing members of the public themselves to deliver independent scrutiny of our facilities. The economic value of their time amounts to thousands of pounds every year however these volunteers donate their time willingly without financial reward.\n\u201cI would like to take this opportunity, during Volunteering Week, to recognise their hard work and thank them for their continued support in what is a very important part of my work as Commissioner.\u201d\nIndependent Custody Visitors are volunteers from the local community who make unannounced visits in pairs to places of detention to check on the welfare of detainees and the conditions under which they are detained.\nThe purpose of their role is to act as an independent monitor of police custody areas and to comment on whether PACE (Police and Criminal Evidence Act) guidelines are being met.\nOne of their most important tasks is to record the outcomes of a visit. Systems are in place to ensure that any negative reports are responded to swiftly and positively. They have a duty to feedback this information to the Commissioner to enable him to identify trends and address them with the Force.\nVolunteers complete an average of two to three visits per month, without payment, and undertake regular unpaid training as part of the role. The visits are made at different times of the day and night and the Independent Custody Visitors must have immediate access to the custody area.\nA current volunteer said: \u201cI like to see people treated fairly, and given their rights, and to ensure the custody area and cells are to a high standard of cleanliness. It\u2019s a worthwhile volunteering role.\n\u201cWe enjoy the ever changing role of an Independent Custody Visitor. Over the years this has changed enormously. Also the satisfaction of knowing we can make a difference to the detainees, it\u2019s rewarding being in a position to ensure this during their stay at the Police Station.\u201d\nThe Commissioner has a statutory duty to administer and monitor the scheme for the county.\nIf you are interested in becoming involved with Cambridgeshire\u2019s Independent Custody Visitors scheme please contact Hannah Watson, Volunteer Co-ordinator, at hannah.watson@cambs.pnn.police.uk or Tel: 01954 713911.\nIt aims to showcase the various volunteering roles available and provide taster sessions as well as boost recruitment levels.\nFor more information visit: http://volunteersweek.org/\n\u00ab New Volunteer Police Cadet scheme launched in Wisbech New member sought for police service scrutiny committee \u00bb",

The project is designed to address the need for a technically sound national disaster prevention and information system through: (1) capacity building and institutional strengthening of the Kampot technical departments of the line ministries in climate change adaptation; (2) awareness raising of the provincial authorities (province, district and commune levels) in climate change adaptation; (3) mapping out of water resource, water infrastructure and their vulnerabilities to drought, flood, salination and arsenic; and (4) rehabilitation and construction of water supply infrastructure at selected demonstration sites.\nCapacities of local institutions to assist local communities to adapt to climate change are improved and climate change is mainstreamed in local development planning and water infrastructure development; and\nVulnerability to climate change of communities is reduced through improved adaptive capacity, climate proofing of water supply infrastructure and improved access to safe water.\nThe project will be implemented in Cambodia\u2019s coastal province of Kampot. Up to 70% of Kampot\u2019s population does not have access to safe water (NCDD, 2010). Climate projections for Cambodia point to more intense wet and dry seasons and higher average temperatures, which will worsen access to safe water: (1) water shortages will increase during droughts, (2) unprotected water sources will not be accessible during floods, (3) sea level rise will cause salination of coastal water sources, and (4) a lowering of the water table will increase exposure to arsenic contamination.\nThe staff of the Kampot departments of the line ministries and of the provincial administration do not currently have the knowledge and experience required to implement responses to climate change. The project is designed to strengthen local government institutions to assist vulnerable communities to adapt to climate change in the water sector. Thisalso allows local needs and priorities to be met, and supports government efforts in the devolution of responsibilities to provincial, districts and commune levels.\nwater for community cc adaption in kampot doe 7.2.2013\nCambodia Research Center for Development (CRCD-Camdev)\nCounterpart Contact: Mr. Suy Thea, Project Coordinator, Department of Environment\n# 1 Ouksaphear, Kampong Kandal, Krong kampot, Cambodia\nAll provincial departments of line ministries and provincial administration in Kampot. 8 districts and 97 communes for capacity building.

        "raw_content": "Enjoying the moment and the place--the \"Here and Now\"\nJunko Edahiro\nIt was the second year into my master's courses when I decided to find work right after finishing my master's degree instead of pursuing a doctorate. I worked very hard to get into a university when I was in high school. When I was an undergraduate, I worked hard again to enroll in a master's program and then succeeded in going on to graduate school. However, I found that the fulfillment and happiness that I expected at that moment never came, despite all of my efforts.\nI thought that I would have to continue putting off living and enjoying \"the moment\" while striving to enter a doctorate program, preparing to climb the ladder of success in the academic field. I would start as an assistant, then become a lecturer, then an assistant professor, and finally a professor. I decided step off that ladder realizing that the future I was working toward would eat away at the precious moments that I could enjoy otherwise. I couldn't bear such an idea.\nSince then,--(I'm sure it was actually well before then) \"Here and Now\" have been my important keywords. I had lived to prepare for the future. I spent 90 percent of my time preparing for it and 10 percent living for the moment. I remember the feeling I had when I completed graduate school. I thought, \"I am now using 30 percent of my time preparing for the future, and spending 70 percent of my time enjoying \"the current moment.\" I was deeply relieved to realize that fact.\nIt is difficult to stay in and enjoy every moment with 100 percent energy and attention. During our daily activities, we can\u2019t help but think about such things as the next day's meetings and responsibilities or feel anxious about the future. It is difficult to give full attention to whoever we are with, as we are thinking about the next person we have to meet. There are also those rude (or should I say busy?) people who talk on cellphones, perhaps preparing for their next meeting or setting up an appointment.\nFacing the Here and Now, enjoying every moment and occasion in our lives means paying full attention to ourselves and people who are with us. Sometimes it is tough. You may avoid facing the Here and Now by doing mindless things, such as keeping the TV on to divert your attention from reality.\nI believe, however, enjoying every moment and occasion--the Here and Now--leads us to a happy and enriched life. You can feel close and connected with people around you. You can be who you are. You can listen to the soft flow of air, slight sounds and faint scents. It is a moment when you think about people living far away from you and feel connected with the past--people, animals and plants. The past lies among the current.\nInstead of living in a diluted \"moment\" for a \"better tomorrow\" and \"some day's happiness,\" I can enjoy and live in the \"here and now.\" I became an organizing member and promoter of Candle Night for the purpose of providing such an opportunity for everyone.\nDuring Candle Night, some children may light matches for the first time in their lives. Some men might use Candle Night as an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful moment with his family. He might say, \"Someone told me about Candle Night. How about doing this together?\nIt is, of course, still important to discuss the current issues and problems we face and to fight for what we believe. However, to feel a passionate burst of energy for \"enjoyable things\" seems much more effective than being \"non-\" or \"anti-\" something.\nSome people appreciate the concepts of \"acting is better than thinking,\" \"feeling is better than considering,\" and \"being immersed is better than discussing.\" Some are excited to watch the Candlescape on the web, finding the possibility of IT technology satisfying to the human imagination.\nSo far, \"lighting up\" has been appreciated. \"Lighting,\" \"using up,\" and \"working hard,\" were concepts related to desired things. However, when you try to \"dim the lights,\" \"turn off the lights,\" \"not to use anything,\" and \"not to work hard,\" do you feel you are using less energy to do so? (In a real sense, this is saving energy!)\nA candle is an independent object. It sheds light every moment, in the Here and Now without being supported by electric power, and then it burns out. When we face up to lighting a candle on a quiet night, I believe we may stand up to the entrance of the world of the Here and Now.\nAfter spending a Candle Night on the evening of the summer solstice, I have since enjoyed three personal Candle Nights. I think the next Candle Night will be on the night of the winter solstice or the next summer solstice. However, we can enjoy a Candle Night anytime. It is not meant to be just an annual or biannual event. I would like to have time to rethink the fast-paced life and to slow it down under the candlelight.\nCo-Founder, Co-Chief Executive, Japan for Sustainability",

        "raw_content": "Fremont County residents react to Denver Broncos, NFL protests\nFremont County Commissioner writes to Denver Broncos expressing disappointment after kneeling during national anthem\nDenver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller and Denver Broncos inside linebacker Brandon Marshall take a knee during the national anthem during their game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at New Era Field in Orchard Park, NY. (John Leyba / The Denver Post)\nEchoing similar opinions from across the country, Fremont County residents, including at least one elected official, have voiced their opinions regarding the Denver Broncos and other NFL teams protesting during Sunday's games.\nThe Denver Broncos and the 31 other NFL teams took part in protests Sunday by taking a knee during the national anthem at each game.\nThe protests happened after recent comments made by President Donald Trump urging NFL team owners to fire any player who kneels during the national anthem because he said it shows disrespect to the U.S. flag.\nOn Sunday, 32 Broncos participated in a nationwide protest. Many Broncos' fans voiced their disappointment, including Fremont County Commissioner Debbie Bell.\nBell, who serves as chair of the commission, decided to voice her disappointment to the Denver Broncos by writing a letter to the team. She said she wrote the letter as a citizen and not as a representative of the county.\n\"The football field and the NFL is not the place for this,\" Bell said regarding the protests.\nWhen asked where players or anyone should protest if not on the field, Bell said anywhere but the field.\n\"Where do everyday people protest? They take to the streets,\" she said.\nShe said she immediately wrote and sent the letter to the Denver Broncos after seeing players kneel. She said her son and late father both served in the military, and she feels that by kneeling players are showing disrespect to the armed services.\nWhen asked about the reason why players are kneeling, Bell said she didn't think they were doing it to address police brutality against people of color, such as former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who said that was his reason for kneeling when he started it more than a year ago.\nInstead, she believes many players participated in protests this last weekend to get back at comments made by President Trump.\n\"It's obvious they all know how divisive it is,\" Bell said, regarding the player's actions. She said Trump's comments also were divisive but by continuing to acknowledge them, players in the NFL continued dividing the country.\nBell clarified that she's not saying they have to stop, but she also has a right to not support the Broncos and the NFL by not watching because of how she feels about their protests.\nSimilar to Bell, Fremont County residents Dan Ainsworth and Myron \"Smitty\" Smith said they are disappointed.\nAinsworth voiced his disappointment with the Broncos in a letter to the editor to the Daily Record.\n\"I and many of my friends, family and associates are appalled and ashamed by the behavior of many of our NFL players, coaches and owners this past Sunday,\" Ainsworth said in his letter. He also said that standing during the anthem is about showing respect and honor for the nation's flag.\nSmith, meanwhile, said he's been a Broncos fan since the 1980s and has held season tickets for almost just as long; however, he, too, was disappointed by the protests that occurred Sunday.\n\"(I) feel it's inconsiderate to disgrace the country and the flag. I think it's a shame,\" Smith said.\nSmith said he wished President Trump didn't make the remarks he did because he agreed Sunday's protests may have been in part a result of the president's remarks.\n\"He didn't need to use profanity. But if he just said something like if he was an owner, he would fire a player, then it would have been fine,\" Smith said.\nHe said, in general, people should show respect to the flag and anthem because of the many people who have fought in wars to protect their freedoms.\nSmith said, instead of protesting, NFL players should go out and speak with local police and learn more about what they do.\nWhen asked about Denver Broncos' Brandon Marshall meeting with the Denver Police Chief and donating $300 per tackle last year, Smith said he respected Marshall for doing what he did, but he still wishes Marshall wouldn't kneel during the anthem.\n\"You don't kneel for the flag, you stand and salute,\" he said.\nSmith said, although disappointed, he does still plan to go to this Sunday's game.\n\"I love the Broncos ...(but) I'm going be wearing red, white and blue to the game. Normally, I would wear all orange,\" Smith said.",

The victim used to give food to the homeless, but not anymore, the prosecutor said.\nMaes testified that he was walking to the grocery store about 8:30 p.m. when Davis ran into him with his cart on Market Street near Park Boulevard.\n\"I said, `Be careful. There are seniors around,\"' Maes testified.\nMaes said Davis' response was, \"I'll show you what I'm going to do.\"\nThe victim said Davis grabbed an umbrella from his belongings and swung it at him, then tackled him and gouged his eye and bit off part of his nose.\nParamedics took Maes to a hospital for treatment of his injuries, and Davis was arrested at the scene.",

        "raw_content": "Bohol to Launch Year-Round Tourism Campaign; Visit Bohol 2015\nThe province of Bohol is ramping up efforts to re-market itself as a major tourism destination in a year-round tourism campaign and travel fair, dubbed \"Visit Bohol 2015\" slated next year.\nVisit Bohol 2015 was originally scheduled next week, (Dec. 8 to 10), although was tentatively postponed until Jan 9 to 11, 2015 due to the coming typhoon \u201cRuby\u201d, which may affect this Central Visayas province where most of the fair participants will be coming from.\nThe event, which will be held in Glorietta in Makati City, will coincide with the launch of two international music festivals, international triathlon event, dive festival, new eco-tourism products and the much-awaited geo-science tours.\nIt will also mark the grand homecoming of Boholanos all over the world called \"Tigum Bol-anon Tibuok Kalibutan,\" a triennial event which also coincides with the Sandugo Festival held every July.\nThe world-renowned Loboc Children\u2019s Choir (LCC) will be among the acts serenading mall-goers from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Also performing will be The Voice Philippines talent Darryl Shy and soprano Dren Ramos.\nIn addition to the free musical numbers and travel deals, the event will also showcase popular Boholano products.\nAttendees who drop by can avail of as much as 60 percent discount in accommodation, tours and other travel essentials in Bohol in the three-day event. Low-cost carrier AirAsia will also offer its lowest possible rates for tourists visiting Bohol. It flies three times daily to Bohol.\nThe Bohol Travel Fair signals the first event gathering all stakeholders from the tourism sector in Bohol for a massive campaign to entice tourists to visit.\nIt is part of the Bohol Tourism Action Plan developed through the collaboration of the United States Agency for International Development through its Advancing Philippine Competitiveness Project (USAID-COMPETE), the Department of Tourism (DOT), the United Nations-World Tourism Organization (UN-WTO), and the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA), as well as local tourism stakeholders.\nBohol Governor Edgar Chatto, in a statement, said that Visit Bohol 2015 is his province\u2019s way of supporting \u201cVisit the Philippines Year 2015\u201d (VPY) rolled out by the DOT.\n\u201cWe are very grateful to Secretary (Ramon) Jimenez (Jr.) of the DOT and its marketing arm, the Tourism Promotions Board, for their full support in the tourism recovery program of Bohol,\u201d Chatto said.\n\u201cThis year has been an exciting year for Bohol and we are seeing a much revitalized tourism industry,\u201d he added.\nChatto meanwhile said that the launch of the campaign is also the province\u2019s way thanking everybody for the support they have given to Bohol, especially after last year\u2019s earthquake.\n\u201cNow that we have risen above our challenges, we are inviting everyone to come to Bohol and enjoy the beauty and serenity of our province,\u201d the governor noted.\nBohol, which is considered as the eco-cultural tourism capital of the Philippines, is best known for its Chocolate Hills, beaches in Panglao, the smallest primate in the world, the Tarsier, and the Loboc River Cruise.\nThe travel fair will also introduce other interesting spots in Bohol such as the beaches of Anda, the Lamanok Mystical Island which is home to captivating caves where ancient Boholanos bury their loved ones in jars, as well as Asia\u2019s largest mangrove forest, Banacon.

        "title": "Our Sector: Understanding Commuter Students \u2013 ChangeSU",
        "raw_content": "Posted on July 5, 2016 July 5, 2016 by Jane Whalen, Craig Clarke and Vanessa Laber\nEarlier this year we recruited and paid a student to do a one off piece of research for Liverpool Students\u2019 Union. They were employed for an 8 week period on a part time basis as our Commuter Students\u2019 Researcher. The aim of this research was to gain an insight into the lives of students who commute from their pre-existing home to Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) and have not moved specifically to start on their course of study. This research involved contacting stakeholders within LiverpoolSU and LJMU to understand what we all collectively wanted from the research and a qualitative survey to then be administered to commuter/home students through telephone interviews.\nWhat do we know already?\nResearch from Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) suggests that in 2013, 297,870 students commuted from home to university, however, many of these home students have not be seen as different to other students (Independent, 2013). Often, universities group students into various categories such as age, gender and ethnicity, in order to monitor academic performance and to implement necessary change, however, as commuter students are often not seen as different, it is difficult to identify the needs of these students to ensure that they love student life.\nIt is evident that many commuting students exist within the UK with HESA\u2019s research being supported by research from Santander which showed that more than 22% of students still live in their family home. Of these, 66% say the cost of living is the main reason for deciding to reside within the family home. In many cases, student loans do not cover student accommodation and living costs and according to research from the National Union of Students (NUS), the weekly cost of a room in halls of residence has doubled in the past 10 years. NUS \u2018Pound in Your Pocket\u2019 research found that 58% of students regularly felt stressed about not having enough money to cover rent and maintenance costs, and the fear many students had of incurring an estimated \u00a353,400 debt from living away from home may have been a huge reason as to why so many students decide to live at home and therefore to commute to University.\nAlthough issues surrounding money is a huge precursor to commuting to University from home, other issues have been identified. For 27% of students in the UK, moving away from home is not an option due to their state of health, caring responsibilities, cultural practices and limited finances. Although research from NUS has identified that commuter students showed a higher level of participation as student reps, commuter students were often less engaged with students\u2019 union activities such as clubs, societies and voting. Instead, commuter students were more interested in activities such as volunteering and course representation. This lack of engagement with student union activities involved issues with accessibility, time constraints and not knowing how to get involved within students\u2019 union activities. In fact, over 40% of those not participating indicated an interest in becoming involved in clubs and societies and in volunteering, which suggests there is an opportunity to include these commuting students who are not fully engaging with student groups.\nFrom this research, it is evident that most people chose to come to University to further their career prospects and stayed at home to save money, for convenience, or due to prior commitments at home such as childcare, relationships and family at home. Quotes from students include, \u201c\u201cI chose LJMU to pursue a career in probation and to change my career\u201d and \u201cI love the topic and I want to work in academia so I need a PhD for that.\u201d\nThese were all huge factors as to why many students\u2019 decided to commute from home with this affecting mature students the most. All students showed a passion for studying at LJMU, especially due to the friendliness and welcoming behaviour of LJMU and LiverpoolSU staff at the open days.\nIt is clear that the respondents all love Liverpool, mainly for the culture, shopping, the friendliness of people, the diversity, the nightlife and the cost of living which evidences why so many people decided to stay at home and therefore to commute to University. Although commuter students clearly love Liverpool, their expectations of University as a whole were much lower than their overall satisfaction now. This may be due to the fears of missing out on the whole University experience by living at home and not living in halls.\nIn order to alleviate the anxiety of becoming a commuter student at LJMU, students not booked into halls could receive information, guidance and signposting to support networks in regards to being a commuter student. These students could also have a Facebook page which they could access before coming to University to allow them to meet other commuter students and realise that they are not alone. This help, guidance and a support network through social media and e-mails before coming to university could also improve how easily people make new friends at University. For many mature commuter students at LJMU, they tend to go straight home after lectures to tend to their children and their families, or work from home while studying for their PhD therefore this allows them to talk to people from anywhere they are to make it easier for the students\u2019 who do not spend a lot of time on campus.\nWhen asked how the respondents made friends at University, many students reported meeting people through ice breakers at the start of university, however, over 1/3 of respondents have never been to the Fresher\u2019s Fair with many of these students missing the induction weeks and welcome weeks at University as they feel it is targeted at students from outside of the city rather than at those that already know the city of Liverpool.\nIt may be important to introduce ice breakers across all degree programs to help everyone to integrate together, whether the students lived in halls or commuted, however, this needs to carry on, possibly through the use of group work in the following month or two after the welcome weeks to ensure that students who are not engaging with Fresher\u2019s and the welcome weeks still have a good chance of meeting people and making new friends. It may also be a good idea to advertise trips to Chester Zoo, Blackpool etc. to students via e-mail during the start of University to show commuters and home students that there is so much more going on with LiverpoolSU than just Liverpool based events, keeping it exciting for students from the Merseyside area.\nGetting to and from the University is actually a huge issue for this group. When asked whether they had ever been late or missed class due to commuting, 53% of respondents reported yes.\nMost of these issues are unavoidable, however, there are things that LJMU and LiverpoolSU may be able to implement to help commuter students with some of these issues. Lectures could begin to be pushed back to 9:30am/10:00am to aid those who commute to university and therefore hit rush hour traffic. One student mentioned that teachers have permits allowing them to exit Mount Pleasant car park after 8pm when it closes to the public.\nThis could be explored further and opened to commuter students\u2019 even for a small fee so commuter students\u2019 can access all classes without having to worry about moving the car, or not picking a module as there is nowhere to park the car at that time. The finish times also need to be adapted to help students to access these classes.\nWe wondered whether commuter students felt as though their existing friends who were not at University had an influence on their engagement with University life. However over 70% said that this was not the case. For those who did recognise it as an influence, it was mostly negative as they missed out on University-related social activity and making new friends.\nAn unfortunately high number of commuter students felt isolated, either because of their age, or because of being a commuter; deeming most people to have become good friends from their time spent in halls; making it difficult for commuter students\u2019 to make new friends.\nPost graduates, PhD students and mature students throughout this research have constantly commented on the lack of activities for their group of students reporting that societies tend to be tailored towards undergraduate students and the younger students. Many mature students interviewed hadn\u2019t heard of the mature students\u2019 network and were interested in joining. However, many of those who had already joined said that there wasn\u2019t much going on, or that the events weren\u2019t exciting enough. Better publicity of the mature students\u2019 network with a wider variety of activities could dramatically improve the social life of post-grad and mature student\u2019s at LJMU.\nQuotes from students who have had positive experiences amongst friends whilst at University:\n\u2022 \u201cThey encourage me and realise that university is my priority.\u201d\n\u2022 \u201cThey support me with what I\u2019m doing and realise I will decline invitations because I have assignments and things like that so they are very, very supportive.\u201d\n\u2022 \u201cAs I am a bit older, most of my friends had been through university so were quite supportive and positive and would give me hints and tips.\u201d\n\u2022 \u201cThey positively influence my engagement. They are very supportive and I usually see them on the weekends so it doesn\u2019t interfere.\u201d\nQuotes from students who have had negative experiences amongst friends whilst at University:\n\u2022 \u201cYes because most of them live in Uni accommodation so are always doing fun things that I want to be involved in.\u201d\n\u2022 \u201cThey are in full time work with lots of money to spend so I couldn\u2019t fully integrate with what they were doing.\u201d\n\u2022 \u201cThey distract me from engaging with University.\u201d\n\u2022 \u201cIt\u2019s hard to split home life and university life. I feel as though I am living to separate lives at the moment as my home friends have expectations of me and so do my uni friends.\u201d\n\u2022 \u201cI\u2019ve got a close group of friends from home and I believe that I didn\u2019t mix with people from university as much because I already had my friends from home.\u201d\nMuch of the research in this report has been supported by various research from NUS, Independent, The Guardian, and HEA for the experiences of commuter students, for example, NUS Connect (2013) states that commuter students were often interested in other types of activities, like volunteering which was evident within the activities section of this report which showed that many of the respondents engaged and valued volunteering. NUS Connect (2013) also reported issues of accessibility, time constraints, not knowing how to get involved and unwelcoming environments as key barriers to students not participating in the students\u2019 union which is evident across the various sections of this report, and hopefully with this research, change can be implemented to increase the lives of commuter students. While this research was primarily to investigate the issues surrounding commuter students, many issues surrounded mature and post-graduate students experiences at university which in many incidences coincided with being a commuter student at LiverpoolSU.\nWhen looking at Platypus Postgraduate Taught Qualitative Research 2013 with LJMU, four key groups of taught postgraduates emerged, these being; Family First \u2013 Those returning to education having put their careers on hold to raise a family, The Worker \u2013 Those returning to education having worked for several years, the Subject Enthusiast \u2013 Those passionate about the subject, wanting to continue study and the Recent Grad \u2013 One who has reached a crossroads and making a decision; further study or starting a career. The sample of commuter students used for this research seemed to include all four of these categories with their main motivations being to increase their career prospects by going to University, or for a career change. This fits with research from Alterline who found that 95% of students are at university to improve their career prospects.\nAlterline\u2019s research into emerging segments; classifying LJMU students into particular groups based on a variety of factors such as their interests and values, was analysed to see whether the commuter students fit into any categories other than the aspirational \u2018mouse potato\u2019 that being a local to Liverpool who wants to easy life, enjoys TV, cares about what people think of them and came to university primarily to increase their earning potential and for the social life. Most aspirational mouse potatoes are under 20, living with parents and are more likely to be found in the Faculty of Technology and Environment. Although many of the respondents mentioned their love for Liverpool nightlife, more seemed more interested in culture, family time and developing professionally to get into the career that they want which fits the Life Changer more than the Aspirational Mouse Potato segment.\nMore information regarding the Commuter Student project can be sought from the Community department at LiverpoolSU by emailing community@ljmu.ac.uk.\n\u2190 Building an Engaging Online Students\u2019\u2026\nElsewhere: ACUI Student Activism Showcase \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Charter advises Kentucky furniture manufacturer in deal with PE firm\nAn investment banking adviser believes the current environment in the contract furniture industry should lead to more deals getting done before the end of the year. Andrew Williams, a director at Charter Capital Partners and head of the firm\u2019s national contract furniture industry practice, said the sector mirrors what\u2019s going on in other industries. \u201cContract furniture is no different than the broader North American economy with a lot of baby boomers identifying a succession plan in their businesses,\u201d Williams told MiBiz. \u201cThere are certainly more deals to come yet this year.\u201d\nWilliams served as lead on the transaction advisory team for Louisville-based KFI Seating, which last week announced a deal with Weller Equity Partners, also of Louisville. In the deal, two of the company\u2019s owners looked for an equity partner to buy out a third owner who was looking to retire, as well as give the firm resources to grow, he said. The three co-owners were \u201cable to achieve their financial and personal goals\u201d and allow the two partners to remain with the company after the deal.\nAs the company went to market, it garnered \u201csignificant interest\u201d from strategic investors and private equity firms alike, Williams added. The response to the KFI deal was emblematic of the capital chasing opportunities in the broader industrial sector, said Williams, who has long ties to contract furniture. \u201cIn contract furniture, M&A remains very healthy with too much capital chasing \u2026 deals out there,\u201d he said, adding that since the KFI deal was announced, he\u2019s already received calls from other prospects.\nCharter Capital, which also operates two Indiana-based offices in South Bend and Indianapolis, first connected with KFI Seating during the 2015 NeoCon contract furniture trade show in Chicago. The company, which manufactures seating and table products, had looked at another deal Charter was representing at the time and stayed in contact, according to Williams. \u201cWith our roots in Grand Rapids and our contacts across the country, we\u2019re working on projects all over the U.S.,\u201d he said.\nCharter Capital formed the contract furniture practice in 2013, announcing it at that year\u2019s NeoCon. Since then, the firm has worked on deals involving all three levels of the industry, including OEMs, suppliers and distributors. The company represented Interphase Interiors, Sauder Manufacturing, The Worden Co., and Bold Furniture on recent transactions. more\nNewer PostMotion Dynamics Corporation Announces Strategic Partnership\nOlder PostWeller Equity Partners Acquires KFI Seating",

        "raw_content": "Where does the line lie between confidence and ego? At first glance, they can share many of the same characteristics. When we dig a little deeper, however, we start to see that they are very different beasts. In our own professional and personal lives, we\u2019ve no doubt seen how ego can be the destruction of careers and relationships. Where confidence builds us up and brings people together, ego pushes away and puts on a facade.\nGreat leaders have confidence. We know that. We see that. It\u2019s evident. While ego might create temporal success, it will inevitably lead to a downfall.\n\u201cI don\u2019t have a big ego,\u201d you might say. \u201cI just have a healthy level of self-confidence.\u201d\nI hope that\u2019s true! The danger comes when someone with a lot of confidence sees a lot of success: which can in turn balloon into an inflated ego.\nIf you want to avoid developing an ego and the inevitable downfall that comes with it, make sure you know these warning signs.\n5 Tell-Tale Signs of a Dangerously Inflated Ego\n1) You listen to advice but you never take it.\nA person with confidence is not so fragile that they never feel as though they don\u2019t need help, advice, or input from anyone else. In fact, they welcome it! They value the perspective of those who may be older, wiser or more experience than they. A leader with an ego, however, only listens to advice in the most superficial of ways. They listen and nod, they might even praise an idea, but they rarely follow any advice other than their own. Before they even receive feedback from anyone else, they\u2019ve likely already made up their minds.\nThe danger in this is a lack of perspective. Someone who never listens to or acts on advice is essentially operating in a vacuum: stuck in their ways, never truly progressing or moving beyond what they already know.\n2) You\u2019re too good for some things...and some people.\nConfident people aren\u2019t too proud to be seen in less-than-flattering situations, to be seen with people below their social status or wealth class, and don\u2019t worry about doing things that are \u201cbeneath them.\u201d Someone with an ego, however, worries about all of those things. They won\u2019t be seen in certain places or hanging around certain crowds. They may belittle or demean people they see as beneath them. Certain jobs, like blue collar tasks, are just too below their pay grade to consider.\nThey turn their noses up at anyone and anything unworthy. And, as a result...they find themselves with very few real friends. This attitude drives a lot of people away.\nA confident person, by contrast, is welcoming and humble. They know the value of every person and occupation. Because of this, they\u2019re never too good for anyone or anything.\n3) You can\u2019t be taught.\nThe day you refuse to learn is the day you cease to be an effective leader. A person with an over-inflated ego is exactly that person. If you won't learn: whether it\u2019s from someone with more experience or from your own mistakes, then you are doomed to failure.\nA confident person knows that they don\u2019t know everything and they are eager to learn more and better themselves. An egotistical person thinks they already know everything.\nYou don\u2019t. So always be willing to learn.\n4) You look out for number one.\nA common mantra in by-gone days, looking out for number one was a call to watch out for yourself and yourself alone. Your own success was all that mattered. An egotistical leader still follows this advice, even if they don\u2019t say it out loud. They\u2019re in it for their profit and glory and they don\u2019t care who they have to step on to get it. It is this thinking that can create corruption and some serious problems in our businesses today!\nOn the other side of things, a confident leader knows that he is not who makes or breaks his business. His team is crucial. Lifting them up and helping them reach their full potential is ultimately what best serves the business best.\n5) You\u2019re too proud to admit when you\u2019re wrong.\nNone of us are perfect. Ego says you are and sits in abject denial when you fail. This results in mistakes as you go headlong into your error and refuse to turn from a path even when you know mistakes are being made. Ego won\u2019t let you quit, though! Where confidence has the humility to turn from a failing course, ego would rather go down with the ship than to admit that it\u2019s sinking.\nUltimately, the difference between confidence and ego all comes down to humility. Do you still have it? Can you carry yourself with a humble heart and a genuine care for the people around you? The people working with you and for you? If you care about people other than yourself and things beyond your own success, chances are you haven\u2019t fallen prey to an ego.\nDon't let your guard down, though: it's a danger to all of us!\nHas ego ever gotten in the way of your success?

        "raw_content": "Definition: Emotional awareness means knowing very specifically how we feel. It means being able to label our feelings with specific feeling words. At its highest level it means being able to predict our feelings in advance.\nLevels of Emotional Awareness\nThis structure is intended to be a general guideline, not an absolute model.\nFeeling the feeling\nThe first level of emotional awareness is feeling our feelings. If we are emotionally sensitive we will feel things sooner than others will. If we have no emotional sensitivity, or we have numbed ourselves from our feelings we won\u2019t have any emotional awareness at all.\nAcknowledging the feeling\nThe next level of emotional awareness is acknowledging the feeling. We may not know exactly what the feeling is, but if we notice and acknowledge that we have some feeling, we have taken the next step.\nNature has given us a sophisticated guidance system in our feelings. Our negative feelings, for example, call our attention to things which are not healthy for us. They tell us when we are out of balance. If we feel lonely, for example, we need more connection with other people.\nThe literature on emotional intelligence points out that our feelings direct us to what is important to think about. Through thought, our feelings can point us to the causes of our negative feelings and to possible solutions. But if we fail to acknowledge our negative feelings, we won\u2019t be able to focus our attention on the problem that needs to be solved. For nature\u2019s inner guidance system to function we must acknowledge our feelings.\nMany people try to stop themselves from feeling their negative emotions. They may use drugs and alcohol. They may use entertainment and distraction. They may also try to simply deny the existence of their negative feelings. Even education, memorization, intellectual or religious pursuits can serve to stop us from acknowledging our feelings. All of this defeats nature\u2019s purpose in supplying us with negative feelings.\nIdentifying the feeling\nThe more specific we are in identifying our feelings, the more accurate we can be in identifying the unmet emotional need and taking appropriate corrective action. In particular with anger, it helps to identify the more specific or more primary feelings. Even with our positive feelings it helps to identify them specifically so we can use this information to help us create happier lives.\nLike anything else, the more we practice identifying emotions, the better we get at quickly selecting the correct name for the feeling. Each time we identify an emotion and assign a label to it, the brain\u2019s cognitive and emotional systems work together to remember the emotion, the circumstances and the label for the emotion.\nI read once that just the simple act of naming a feeling helps us feel better, and I have often found this to be true. Evidently this happens for several reasons. First, we have a natural fear of the unknown. When we label our feeling, we move it from the unknown to the known and thus we help make it less scary and more manageable.\nSecond, when we label it, we are using a different part of the brain than where we feel the feeling. I suspect that we are actually diffusing and moving the chemicals from their concentration in the emotional section to the cognitive section where the pain is not felt as much.\nFinally, by beginning to think about our feeling, we are also taking the next step towards solving our problem. When our thoughts are clear, this helps us feel more in control and empowered.\nAccepting the feeling\nIf we have felt, acknowledged and identified our feelings, the next step in emotional awareness and in benefiting from the natural value of our emotions is to fully accept the feeling.\nSometimes we might think that we shouldn\u2019t feel the way we do. Such thoughts are the result of beliefs which have been programmed into us by others. One of the primary benefits of a highly developed emotional intelligence, though, maybe be that it helps us become more independent from the opinions and beliefs of others. Instead of listening to other voices, we are able to put more value on our inner voice, a voice which speaks to us through our individual emotions.\nThere are several benefits to fully accepting our feelings.\nFirst, our feelings are a major part of us. Accepting our feelings is therefore a major part of self-acceptance. This does not mean we wish to stay as we are, but I agree with those who say it is easier to make positive changes in our lives if we first accept that we are how we are at the present moment.\nSecond, accepting our feelings takes less energy than trying to deny or suppress them.\nThird, accepting our feelings sometimes helps prevent them from recurring over and over.\nFinally, when we have fully accepted our feelings we can shift our energy to productive thoughts or actions\nReflecting on the feeling\nReflecting on our feelings actually could come at two different levels of emotional awareness.\nFirst, at a low level of emotional awareness we might only reflect on our feelings after the fact. We might lay awake at night, for example, and think about an event during the day and our feelings about that event. This might help lead us to identifying our feelings sooner in the future.\nI believe, though, that when our emotional intelligence is highly developed, the process of feeling our feelings and identifying them takes place quickly enough for us to reflect on the feeling nearly instantaneously or in \u201creal time.\u201d\nThe sooner we can accurately identify the feeling and reflect on it, the sooner we can take actions which are in our best interest.\nForecasting feelings\nThe more aware of our feelings, the better chance we have of predicting how we will feel in the future. This can be thought of as forecasting our feelings.\nWe can improve this ability by considering how we will feel if we choose one course of action as opposed to another. The value of this ability can not be overstated. Only when we can predict our feelings can we make decisions which will lead to our long term happiness.\nI know I am going to regret this.\nI know I will feel guilty if I do this.\nIt\u2019s going to feel so good to\u2026\nI know I will feel better if I \u2026\nIn the first case, our prediction of negative feelings is trying to help us avoid something. In the second case, our prediction of positive feelings helps motivate us. We simply make better decisions when we listen to our inner messages, in other words, our feelings.\nThe ability to forecast feelings extends to other people as well. In other words, when we are more aware of our own feelings and develop a greater ability to forecast our own feelings, it is more likely we will be able to forecast how someone else will feel. This naturally leads to being more considerate of others. Simply put, as we get in touch with our own feelings we realize that what doesn\u2019t feel good to us probably won\u2019t feel good to others.",

A week after the Scottish woman became a global sensation following a barnstorming audition on \"Britain's Got Talent,\" a 12-year-old Welsh boy with a Motown voice has been hailed for his \"life-changing\" performance on the TV show after earning a standing ovation from Simon Cowell.\nJafargholi impressed the \"Britain's Got Talent\" judges with a rendition of \"Who's Loving You.\"\nShaheen Jafargholi's prospects looked bleak when the infamously hard to impress Cowell brought the audition to an abrupt halt just one verse into his rendition of \"Valerie,\" the Zutons' song covered by Amy Winehouse.\n\"You've got this really wrong,\" Cowell told him. \"What do you sing apart from that?\"\nJafargholi instead offered to perform \"Who's Loving You,\" written by Smokey Robinson and performed by a young Michael Jackson with the Jackson Five, bringing screams of delight from the audience as he launched into a note-perfect rendition that brought a beaming Cowell and fellow judges Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden to their feet.\n\"This is how one song can change your life,\" Cowell told him. \"This may be the start of something special for you young man.\" Watch Shaheen Jafargholi perform on \"Britain's Got Talent\" \u00bb\nEW.com: 'Talent' child star's exclusive interview\n'Talent' star keeps singing, raves keep coming\nScottish singer 'gobsmacked' by overnight stardom\nWriting in his blog for the show, Morgan said Jafargholi had been the stand-out act of the show and tipped him as a possible challenger to Boyle for the TV talent show's \u00a3100,000 ($146,000) prize.\n\"Once Simon got him to sing the right kind of song for his voice, he was sensational. Like a young Stevie Wonder,\" Morgan said.\nIn an interview for the show, Jafargholi said he had been singing since he was two years old. \"When I was a bit older my mum got me some singing lessons and my voice just got bigger and bigger,\" he said. \"Hopefully this is going to be my big break.\"\nLast week's performance by Boyle, the 47-year-old with a Broadway voice who claimed to have never been kissed, brought the show global attention, with her version of the Les Miserables' tune \"I Dreamed a Dream\" gaining more than 32 million hits on YouTube as well as earning her a string of U.S. media appearances, including on CNN's Larry King Live.\nJafargholi has some way to go to match Boyle's success. By Monday morning a YouTube link to his performance had been watched just 330,000 times. Who do you prefer? Susan Boyle or Shaheen Jafargholi? Sound Off below",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab A Handful of Fulci | Main | Coffee Break \u00bb\nFaith + Film Blog-a-thon: What's Love Got to do with It?\nBrian Gibson - 1993\nTouchstone Region 1 DVD\nMore meditations on Film + Faith are to be found at Strange Culture.\nAs a Buddhist for over thirty years, I have as a matter of course been interested in how Buddhism has been portrayed in film. As the practicioner of a particular kind of Buddhism esstablished by Nichiren Daishonin, I have had to consider some films that have attempted to convey this form of Buddhism on film. There have been a few Japanese films that have made Nichiren and Nichiren's Buddhism the central subject. Brian Gibson's film is not about Buddhism per se as much it is about Tina Turner's life before and after Buddhism, yet Gibson has made a more serious attempt at seeking a way to visually convey Buddhism in a way that even the Japanese films do not.\nPutting this essay in some context, let me first explain that all references to Buddhism will be specifically to Nichiren's Buddhism. For those unfamiliar, this is the one where people chant, \"Nam-Myhoho-Renge-Kyo\". This practice was established by a 13th Century Japanese priest who held that the true essence of Buddhism was to be found in the Lotus Sutra, and that the essence of the Lotus Sutra was to be found in the title. The words translate somewhat roughly to, \"I devote myself to the mystic law of simultaneous cause and effect through sound\". Mystic in this case means beyond normal human understanding. Unlike other forms of Buddhism which involve prayer towards statues of Buddha, the object of worship is a scroll with \"Nam-Myhoho-Renge-Kyo\" written with other calligraphy denoting states of existence. As the scroll is not to be reproduced, except my Buddhist priests, photography of the scroll, known as the Gohonzon, is prohibited. It is for this reason that films about this particular form of Buddhism show that practitioners chanting towards an alter, but the contents of the alter are never seen.\nIn his book, Transcendental Style in Film, Paul Schrader discusses how many narrative films used what he terms \"overabundant means\" in conveying enlightenment or a dramatic form of religious experience. While in no way unique to him, the template of overabundant means is mostly associated with Cecil B. De Mille and The Ten Commandments. The religious experience is given its filmic equivalent with the swelling chorus on the soundtrack, and the main character dramatically lit, basking in white or yellow light. Curiously, as if to indicate that overabundant means is suitable for all religious experiences, a similar tact has been used by the Japanese filmmakers of those films I have seen either about Nichiren or in the story of the lay orgination, Soka Gakkai. Kunio Watanabe's Nichiren to moko daishurai, made in 1958, is especially under the influence of De Mille. Noboru Nakamura's Nichiren, from 1979, is more restrained, but still overly reliant on special effects. Toshio Masuda's two films based on the novelized autobiography of Buddhist lay leader Daisaku Ikeda, The Human Revolution, filmed in 1973 and 1974 are no different. Imprisoned by the military government during World War II, Soka Gakkai leader Josei Toda experiences his enlightment filmed in a way that would be no different than that had it been De Mille or Wyler filming Charlton Heston. To the best of my knowledge, none of the Japanese filmmakers cited practiced this form of Buddhism. It should also be noted that in keeping with a form of Buddhism that is more engaged with present day realities, Soka Gakkei leader Daisaku Ikeda has written essays on two favorite films, Ikiru and High and Low. As is the case with Akira Kurosawa's contemporary films, these are works reflecting social consciousness. In one of his other writings during the making of The Human Revolution films, Ikeda wrote about the films' screenwriter, Kurosawa collaborator Shinobu Hashimoto.\nOf the four narrative filmmakers I know to be Buddhist, Peter Werner and Linda Thornburg have not made any films that directly discuss Buddhism in any way. Alan Mak uses a more generic reference to Buddhism, especially the Buddhist concept of Hell, in setting up Infernal Affairs. while the Buddhist practice of the gang leader portrayed by Eric Tsang does not appear to be that of a specific sect. That a Buddhist film director made a film about one of America's most famous Buddhists almost did not happen.\nAccording to an essay by Gibson published in the American Buddhist newspaper, \"World Tribune\", Gibson was set to direct another music based film in 1992. There seems to be some kind of comic irony that Gibson traded The Thing called Love with Sandra Bullock for What's Love Got to do with It? and the former Anna Mae Bullock.\nWhat's Love . . . announces that the film is about faith from the beginning. Titles on the screen read, \"The lotus is a flower that grows in the mud. The thicker and deeper the mud, the more beautiful the lotus blooms. This thought is expressed in the Buddhist chant: Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo.\" During the opening, chanting is heard on the soundtrack, with the camera tilting down from the sky to a church. The chanting fades out to be replaced by the sound of a chorus practicing the spiritual, \"This Little Light of Mine\". The elementary school aged Anna Mae Bullock is heard conspicuously over the others in the chorus. This opening simultaneously introduces the character of the future Tina Turner, primarily known for her singing talent, and letting the audience know that as much as the film is biographical, it is also about one person's experience with faith.\nWhat needs to be noted about What's Love . . is the use of mirrors as a visual motif at each point in the evolution of Tina Turner. The first such seen is when Ike convinces Tina to spend the night in the guest bedroom. Tina's sleep is interupted by Ike's first wife, Lorraine, who first threatens Tina with a gun before shooting herself. The scene works as a forecast of parts of Tina's future with Ike. The second mirror scene takes place when Ike and Tina Turner have become a nationally popular recording act, with Tina more confident in speaking for herself. Following that scene is one of Ike beating Tina. The third mirror scene is when Phil Spector appears, wanting to record Tina as a solo act. In looking in the mirror, Tina sees a possible future without Ike. A fourth mirror image is of Tina looking at herself following what would be the last of Ike's beatings. The final mirror image is of Ike in Tina's dressing room prior to one of Tina's showcase performances as a solo act, confident in the face of Ike's threats with a gun.\nThe use of mirrors is put in context during the scene when Tina is introduced to Buddhism by her friend, Jackie, a fictionalized composite created for the film. Jackie likens Buddhism to a mirror that allows one to see one's self. The concept of the practice of Buddhism as a mirror is used frequently in the writings of Nichiren Daishonin. This concept is further extended in contemporary writings on Buddhism such as the book, The Buddha in Your Mirror.\nWhat is interesting about What's Love . . . is that the visual motif of the mirror gave Gibson a way of relaying an idea about religious experience in a form that is integrated within the narrative. This is neither the over-abundant means of the traditional religious film from the De Mille template, nor is this the stylized vision of faith employed by the filmmakers cited by Schrader - Bresson, Ozu and Dreyer. At least in this one film was a visual metaphor used in such a way that most people would not be aware of just how much What's Love Got to do with It? was as much about Buddhism as it was about the life of Tina Turner.\nthis was a wonderful article..i've seen this movie numerous times and never would have developed these kinds of insight on my own...i wish i could have this kind of insightful analysis for all the movies i've seen,thanks dh\nPosted by: dh at April 6, 2008 01:21 PM",

        "raw_content": "In The Lead \u2013 Deal\u2026 Or No Deal?\nGreek Prime Minister Papandreou\u2019s earlier wishes for some concrete EU offerings that would help stave off a negative outcome for his country\u2019s debt problems were apparently on their way to becoming true this morning.\nGreece was given more time to deal with its Mount Olympus-sized pile of debt and the sense of relief about the step that the EU took overnight was felt as far away as the bond markets of Ireland and Spain.\nRatings agencies welcomed the fresh life-preserves package as well, except for Fitch\u2019s, that is. The firm at once said that it believes that the commitments made by EU officials signifies an \"important and positive step towards securing financial stability in the euro zone\" but that Greece is, in effect, facing a \"selective default\" as the rescue bag of goodies includes private sector participation.\nAbout 159 billion euros (229 billion dollars) in new aid are on offer to Greece, including bondholder contributions and a chip-in by the IMF. The region\u2019s financial institutions will also add some 50 billion euros to the funds and the ECB will now likely accept Greek collateral in the event of a default due to the fact that guarantees will be offered by eurozone member nations.\nWhile most markets welcomed the financial rescue of Greece gold market players exhibited \"skepticism\" about its efficacy and piled on additional bets in the yellow metal as Friday morning\u2019s dealing began. Some economists have expressed doubts about the ability of the rescue plan to succeed if in fact the EFSF (TARP, European-style) is not augmented in size.\nThe \"default = we win, rescue = we win some more\" formula was quickly applied to the bids in bullion ahead of the New York market\u2019s opening. Open interest on COMEX was hovering at over half a million contracts- a half-year high. And thus, the battle for the $1,600 mark recommenced ahead of the weekend.\nVeteran RBC market analyst George Gero notes that the 10% jump in the level of open interest in gold comes at a time when COMEX options are set to expire on the 27th, China announces PMI statistics on the 1st, and the US debt ceiling is to be hit on the 2nd. While George labels this convergence as a \"perfect storm,\" he does allow for the possibility that it will be a perfectly volatile storm. The present conditions-in his assessment-present a double-edged sword as latecomers are long at near-record price levels and as protective sell-stops may be planted along the way here.\nSpot gold dealings started their New York chapter on Friday with a $7.90 gain and the bid quoted at $1,598.10 per ounce. Silver advanced 56 cents to open at the $39.88 mark per ounce. Platinum also gained, opening at the $1,792.00 per ounce level with a rise of $10.00. Palladium was slightly lower, losing $2.00 to start at the $804.00 per ounce bid level.\nOnce again, no change was reported in rhodium, still bid at $1,950.00 the troy ounce. There has been a noticeable tightening in physical/allocated rhodium bid/offer spreads; they are now only $100-wide on Kitco\u2019s trading pages, and, at that level, the differential is rather competitive with the average gold coin bid-offer gap. As opined on Bloomberg yesterday, the next 25 to 35 percent gain is likelier to be seen in PGM group metals (esp. palladium and/or rhodium) rather than in the overextended gold and/or silver niche. Consider the fundamentals, for starters.\nSouth Africa\u2019s state-owned power utility, Eskom, sweetened is wage offer to unionized workers in a bid to avert a strike that might have serious impacts on the mining industry in that country. However, the freshened offer \u2014 now at 7%- is still some distance away from the 16% that workers have been demanding. Labor difficulties continue to impact the smooth production of South African fuel, paper, chemicals, diamonds, coal, and of course platinum-group metals as well as gold.\nSpeaking of not-so-hot fundamentals, the latest in tallies \u2014 courtesy of ABN AMRO and the VM Group- finds that the gold market remains in a near 1,200 tonne surplus mode. A total global gold supply of 4,116 tonnes is being projected by the VM Group, whilst demand is forecast to be 2,926 tonnes for the year. Mine supply is slated to touch a fresh record (2,523 tonnes) and so is scrap supply (1,501 tonnes).\nA similar statistical position is the paradigm in silver, where the label \"Shortage? What shortage?\" amply applies at this time. The white metal is projected to tally a surplus of nearly 8,000 tonnes in 2011. This, as total supply is estimated to come in at 36,143 tonnes courtesy of an output of 25,000 tonnes from the world\u2019s mines and a near-11,000 tonne inflow from scrapped metal. Demand on the industrial side might likely remain steady at near 12,700 tonnes.\nIn the background, crude oil was trading about 2 pennies shy of the $99 level as players anticipated a resolution to the US\u2019 budget ceiling issue and as they perceived the EU rescue package as a positive for the region\u2019s economy. As it turns out, the EU\u2019s industrial orders expanded at a faster-than-anticipated rate (3.6%) in May after a bit of a slump (-0.1%) that was experienced in April. The US dollar was up 0.13 on the trade-weighted index; it was quoted at 74.17 at last check. The euro, on the other hand, advanced to beyond $1.44 following the EU rescue package news.\nMeanwhile, in Washington, President Barak Obama and House Speaker Boehner were trying to cobble together an agreement to hike the country\u2019s debt ceiling while also cutting government spending in by a meaningful sum in the trillions. Mr. Obama was however seen as facing resistance by his own party\u2019s leaders rank-and-file due to the fact that he was perceived to be giving away core Democratic priorities in his efforts to strike a deal with the GOP.\nMoreover, the \"Dems\" have expressed overt concerns that the Tea Party\u2019s agenda appears to be prevailing in the deal-making; something they see as unacceptable. Today essentially marks the beginning of \"crunch-time\" in DC; recall that the initial date that the White House had set for the striking of a bi-partisan deal to resolve the matter, was, in fact, July 22nd. The logistics of the legislative process basically imply that in order to allow for sufficient time for such decisions to pass, a deal must be made on this very day. Tick\u2026 tick\u2026 tick\u2026 and as of 10AM Mr. Boehner dismissed reports that there might be an agreement with Mr. Obama. Good for a $16 pop in gold courtesy of the ultra-long crowd. Deal or no deal? Quick, someone call Howie Mandel and have him sit betwixt Messrs. Obama and Boehner. Ms. Pelosi ain\u2019t even invited.\nThe clock also appears to be ticking for China\u2019s central government as far as it having to take pre-emptive action to avert a tidal wave of bankruptcies that some experts say could cripple its (and the global) economy. A high-profile lobby, the All China Federation of Industry and Commerce has urged Beijing to concentrate on doing something in order to prevent some 7.5 million (!) businesses in the country from going belly-up as they face tightened credit and rising inflation conditions. Such a mushroom cloud of business failures would clearly have a deleterious impact on China\u2019s economy, and perhaps more than just that. China\u2019s property bubble is indeed shaping up to have potential ramifications that are just now beginning to crystallize, and they appear to be anything but confidence-inducing.\nProperty ownership, on the other hand, appears to be a fad that is so \"last century\" as far as Americans are concerned. The USA is fast becoming a nation of renters, according to the latest computations by Morgan Stanley; the firm found that home ownership in the States has now fallen below 60 percent. To be clear, the falling off from the 66.4% level at the end of March to the 59.7% mark tallied by MS factors in the estimated 7.5 million delinquent homeowners who might soon be forced to sign rental agreements in lieu of redecorating their 3,000 sq. ft. McMansions. Hmmm\u2026 marriage, steady jobs, home ownership. Who knows what\u2019s next on the \"endangered species\" list for the American dream and American societal aspects?\nIn the meantime, enjoy the \"buy everything, no matter what the excuse is\" syndrome that has gripped the specs once again (okay, all but those who dabble in the Dow \u2013at least today) and have a pleasant weekend.

        "raw_content": "If In Need, You Will Receive\nFor students looking to find great FAFSA tips, you have come to the right place. I will provide you with tips that will help you to get as much money as possible for financial aid.\nTo begin with, make sure you file early. January is an ideal time to go ahead and get the FAFSA out of the way. Some schools and now seven states\u2014Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont and Washington\u2014award aid money on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are depleted. It\u2019s easiest to file your taxes first and then use that as a reference point for filling out the FAFSA, but you can also estimate fields on the FAFSA form using your last pay stub and last year\u2019s tax return.\nFurthermore, use a supplementary letter to explain extenuating circumstances. Though the FAFSA asks more than 100 questions, there\u2019s no opportunity on the form to explain specific family circumstances, like a recent job loss or high medical bills. If there are more facts you think financial aid officers need to know, send in a supplementary letter explaining the situation that might necessitate more aid.\nFinally, don\u2019t game the system. Lying about your income or assets on the FAFSA is a form of fraud punishable by a fine up to $20,000, forfeiture of financial aid awards, and potential prison time. With more collaboration between individual colleges, the Department of Education and the IRS, schools have become more savvy in sniffing out fraudulent applications.\nThanks George for sharing these great FAFSA hints. I like your suggestion about sending supplementary letter to the school financial aid office, as this may increase your financial aid offer for students with special circumstances.\nNavigating the FAFSA Jungle\nby Caitlin Peaslee\nEach semester of college begins with a flood of excitement to begin classes, move into a new place with friends and be another year closer to graduation. Along with the excitement of the semester comes a great deal of stress and anxiety that can feel overwhelming to students and their families. Not only are classes, social lives, schedules and extra activities demanding; the financial stress that comes with college can take a toll. There are, however, tips that can help breakdown the issues that prospective and current students face each year of college.\nFirst of all, nothing can set a student back and add stress as much as procrastination. Saving things such as applying for aid or giving the school required documents for later will only make the process more stressful and less lucrative. Typically there are early deadlines for scholarships, college admissions and FAFSA that can put students who apply within that time frame in a better position to get better aid or an earlier decision before the students who wait until the final deadline. It is important to add these deadlines to a calendar that is regularly accessed to keep on top of upcoming cutoff dates.\nKeeping a running list of what you want to do, have done, need to do and dates for everything will keep you at ease as every bit of information is in one place and easy to access. I recommend making a table or calendar that is specific to the aid and schools that you are applying for. This step may take some time and research but in the end will make keeping on top of everything easier and less stressful. Talk to parents about when they will have their tax information done and set aside time with them to work on the financial requirements.\nFAFSA is an \u201cOffice of the US Department of Education\u201d and stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. As they are the largest provider of student financial aid in the US, they are on your side to help you pay for college. FAFSA not only will set students up with loans to cover school and living costs, they will also match students to grants and work study that can be extremely helpful in paying for college. The only catch is that they ask for a huge amount of information from you and your family on the application. Everything from tax information to family size, information for siblings who are in school, which schools you are interested in and your living arrangements are included on this application that must be done every year. Although this process seems daunting, taking one step at a time and knowing what is required of you will help you to sail through the process.\nAfter graduation, many students feel that they need to be completely independent from their parents; this not the case for FAFSA. A large amount of information about parents\u2019 financial information is needed for getting aid. This makes it crucial to have parents on your side while filling out this application. Always be honest with the information asked and don\u2019t be afraid to contact school admission and financial aid departments for help dealing with the jungle that is FAFSA.\nThanks Caitlin for your hints on Navigating the FAFSA Jungle. I agree it is crucial for students fresh out of high school to get parents to help complete the FAFSA if they are \"dependent\" students for financial aid purposes. Best of luck to you.",

No area of vocal pedagogy has been more controversial and, despite recent advances in the understanding of how the respiratory system functions, both in speech and song, some breath management strategies for singing continue to be at odds with scientific fact. Furthermore, many singers find the development of these skills a challenge.\nIn this practical, and concise book, Ron Morris, speech pathologist and singer, and Linda Hutchison, singer and singing teacher, introduce Accent Method breathing \u2013 a technique that is well grounded in science, as it is based on the structure and function of the respiratory system \u2013 and demonstrate with exercises, how it helps develop effective breathing and support in singers. The science and theory is presented in a language that singers and their teachers will easily understand, and the book is written in a style that is both engaging and entertaining.\n1.

However, in recent years, the dwindling catch has both fishery agencies and fishermen worried. Agreeing to a state slot limit on striped bass is an important step in guaranteeing the future availability of this shared natural resource.\"\n\"I think it's probably the right thing to do,\" said Sal Monroe, 64, who has run a fishing party-boat out of the Housatonic River since 1985.\n\"It's tough, though. With such a narrow slot, few people are going to want to fish. I'm going to have to figure out what to do with nine months of little income.\"....\u201d",

Within a long decade (1958-1971) the research of Paolo Scheggi went through different fields of knowledge and disciplines including, visual arts, architecture, fashion, poetry, urban and theatrical performances, conceptual and metaphysics reflection. Characterized by a strong interdisciplinary approach, the route taken by Paolo Scheggi may be condensed in the interpretation given by Giovanni Maria Accame, \u2018from the exhibition of the project to project of the exhibition\u2019. Since 1961, he had a vibrant collaborative relationship with Germana Marucelli for whom he redesigned a tailoring studio, inaugurated with a parade of optical dresses in the spring of 1965 in Milan. Soon, he encountered new research in the Lombard capital, attending the group around Azimuth and the first exponents of Arte Programmata. In 1964, Carlo Belloli ascribed Scheggi among the fourty-four protagonists of Visualit\u00e0 Strutturata. Furthermore, in 1965, Scheggi was included by Dorfles among the members of the Pittura Oggetto and in the same year he joined the movement Nove Tendencije and developed international contacts, especially in Northern Europe, where he exhibited in numerous occasions and participated in group exhibitions as a member of the groups Zero and Nul.\nIn 1964, Scheggi\u2019s research undertook an architectural and environmental direction that will be fundamental for his artistic development. Since then, Scheggi worked with Nizzoli Associates (Mendini, Oliveri, Fronzoni), Bruno Munari (Sala Experimental Film, Milan Triennale in 1964) and created the Intercamera plastica (1966) which was presented in Milan at the Galleria del Naviglio in January 1967. From 1968, he opened his investigation towards theatre and performing arts, addressing the overcoming of the traditional space of the stage and the gallery and extending it into the city (Marcia Funebre o della geometria for Campo Urbano in Como (1969), Opl\u00e0 Stick held in Milan\u2019s -Galleria del Naviglio, Firenze-Galleria Flori and city streets, Zagreb Student Center Gallery, for Nove Tendencije (1969)). During the last two years, he worked on a conceptual research that has culminated in the Sette spazi recursivi autopunitivi (never realized), the seiprofetiperseigeometrie and the Ondosa environment, yet to be investigated in their complexity. He also took part in the Venice Biennale in 1966, and in 1972, 1976, 1986, Scheggi exhibited in some of the major artistic events of the time in Paris, Buenos Aires, New York, Hamburg, Dusseldorf and Zagreb.",

Lazarus did not take the stand and the case was reduced to a DNA sample that was kept in exposed and insecure conditions for two decades. There is no living witness to the event that killed Rasmussen.\nA jury empaneled has made their guess and announced that they reached a unanimous verdict that will be released at 1:30 PM Pacific Time.\nI don\u2019t feel good for the defense and believe this should have been tried as a self-defense case. The larger and more athletic Rasmussen may have begun a fatal fight. There were problems with that because if this was a self-defense case a frightened, young policewomen covered up the event.\nIf it was self-defense, fleeing the scene and not telling anyone is no crime. However, any jury would frown upon rearranging the scene to make it look like a burglary.\nSecond guessing the defense lawyer is always easy when he loses a case. Right now we will just have to wait for the verdict to be read.\nI hate human lives being saved or destroyed by a guess. That\u2019s exactly what this verdict will be. I wish Lazarus and her family luck.\nUpdate: Lazarus was convicted of 1st Degree Murder and use of a gun. She is facing 25 years to life with a chance of parole. Had she taken the self-defense route it would have been much better. At worst she would have gotten a 2nd degree conviction...\nLabels: Crime courts justice, LAPD, Stephanie Lazarus\nIt seems she lost the case whatever really transpired. Is she really guilty or is she the victim of the prosecution?\nBut the problem is there is another victim, one way or another and that victim is dead.\nDead women don't talk...\nshould have just stayed away from the woman and let it all go.",

        "raw_content": "Venezuela\u2019s oil output \u2013 which accounts for 90% of the country\u2019s exports \u2013 has plummeted to levels not seen since 1940s.\nA chronic lack of investment in the vital oil infrastructure, years of mismanagement and hyperinflation has sent the country\u2019s oil production into \u2018free fall\u2019.\nSince January, Venezuelan crude output has averaged 1.4 mill barrels per day, down by 0.6 mill barrels per day over the corresponding period last year, Gibson Shipbrokers said analysing the state of the country\u2019s oil production.\nThis fall in output is reflected in crude exports. ClipperData indicated that this year the country\u2019s total exports have averaged just under 1.2 mill barrels per day, down by 0.37 mill barrels per day, year-on-year.\nThe decline was witnessed both in the long haul and short haul crude trades. Shipments to Asia/Pacific, mainly China and India have averaged 0.57 mill barrels per day during the first 10 months of this year, down by 80,000 barrels per day on the 2017 figures.\nAlthough this does not look like much, there also has been a notable decline in crude trade to the Caribbean, where PDVSA owns/leases crude storage facilities for transhipments. Exports to the Caribbean have fallen this year by 170,000 barrels per day year-on-year. The seizure of PDVSA\u2019s assets by ConocoPhillips in May this year was a contributing factor behind the overall decline.\nHowever, progress was made following a PDVSA payment to ConocoPhillips, using a combination of cash and commodities. Finally, on average, Venezuela has shipped less crude to the US this year, compared with 2017, although a minor rebound was seen in recent months.\nProblems in the refining sector also intensified, as a lack of funds for repair and maintenance and the migration of skilled staff elsewhere, took its toll.\nVenezuela\u2019s biggest refinery, Amuay, is running at under 20% of capacity and other key refineries are barely functioning. This ongoing decline in crude refining runs means an increasing need to import products, mostly from the US.\nIt has been reported that large amounts of heavy naphtha have been shipped south to blend with Venezuela\u2019s deteriorating local crude quality. Apart from more product shipments into the country, there are also logistical issues. Media reports suggested that delays have occurred in unloading fuel cargoes since most of the ports are more orientated for exporting rather than importing therefore contributing to shortages.\nIt was reported that one tanker bringing imported gasoline was highly contaminated forcing PDVSA to withdraw the product from distribution. The incident was thought to be caused by Venezuela having to seek fuel from \u2018unreliable suppliers\u2019, due to many companies being unwilling to do business with a country carrying US sanctions.\nGoing forward, the economic turmoil faced by Venezuela shows no signs of abating. There appears little upside to crude production levels, despite the country having one of the world\u2019s largest oil reserves.\nMany predict that 1 mill barrels per day will be the bottom of Venezuela\u2019s production, although others have said that the output could be as low at 0.7 mill barrels per day by the end of 2019.\nNonetheless, Venezuela\u2019s oil minister, Manuel Quevedo, said recently that even with all the problems faced, production has stabilised and that the government is hopeful that output will increase to 1.6 mill barrels per day by the end of this year, Gibson reported.",

        "raw_content": "Home Academic Programs Graduate Programs MBA Programs Full-Time MBA Student Experiences Student Voices Sanjeet Singh\n\"The MBA program, especially the Finance concentration, helped me learn to use the science and art behind the numbers at the same time.\"\nA: I work as a Manager, Finance Business Partner for PAREXEL International. As a finance business partner, my job is to act as a co-pilot for the business to formulate and implement our strategy. I make sure that we meet our goals profitably. I am also the primary business partner for a couple of selling, general, and administrative functions and a high growth regulatory consulting business. My top responsibilities include budgeting, forecasting, and long range planning for these areas. Along with this, I am also a member of the finance team, which oversees all mergers and acquisitions activity for PAREXEL Informatics, which is the technology arm of PAREXEL International.\nQ: What skills did you build in the D\u2019Amore-McKim MBA in Finance program that you are currently using on the job?\nA: One of the key things I learned while at Northeastern was to be able to look beyond the numbers and focus on the story behind the numbers, especially how to use numbers to paint a picture for management and get my point across in a clear and succinct manner. Another important takeaway was to keep an eye on the minute details but not lose sight of the big picture. This is a very delicate balance to strike and I will remain one of my key learnings from the program.\nQ: What would you say to a colleague considering enrolling in the MBA in Finance program?\nA: Take full advantage of the diverse group. It is also very important that you are comfortable not only with crunching numbers but also with analyzing them and communicating the outcome. Not to undermine the importance of proficiency with ERP systems (Hyperion Essbase, Business Objects etc.) , but Microsoft Office Suite (especially Word, Powerpoint and Access) is still widely used across industries and proficiency with these programs certainly helps.\nQ: Why did you choose the D\u2019Amore-McKim School of Business MBA in Finance program?\nA: The biggest reason was the corporate residency program. I now know I made the right choice as I have moved from being a corporate resident at PAREXEL International, in 2013, to being a team member that recruits corporate residents from Northeastern in 2016. Other reasons for choosing this program included Northeastern's location and reputation.\nQ: What was your biggest take-away from earning your MBA in Finance at Northeastern?\nA: The MBA program, especially the Finance concentration, helped me learn to use the science and art behind the numbers at the same time, meaning you look at a set of numbers, analyze them, and make a story. But it does not stop at that; there is always a level of uncertainty to account for in the industry. Dealing with this ambiguity and making a well thought out and strategic call is what the MBA in Finance program taught me.\nQ: What are you doing now and how did the MBA in Finance help you get there?\nA: As mentioned above, the MBA program helped me get my foot in the door at PAREXEL International. This not only helped me decide that I wanted to make a career in Finance (I am a career-changer) but also gave me the accelerated start I needed coming from a different industry.\n\"Favorite thing to do in Boston: Running along the Charles River.\" \u2014 Mark Striegel, MBA'11",

But one should also consider Quicksilver Messenger as well, a band bending traditional blues into contemporary rock.\nLive at the Fillmore June 7 1968 finds the band at their earliest peak playing at the iconic Fillmore East, run by the legendary Bill Graham. Having never heard QMS, listening to this album one would think that they mostly, or merely, a cover band playing classic blues numbers in a psychedelic rock wrapper. Of the twelve songs here only five are original numbers, many penned by guitarist Gary Duncan.\nThe seminal blues songs include Howlin' Wolf's Smokestack Lightnin', Bo Diddley's Mona and Who Do You Love, and the classic Willie Dixon song, Back Door Man. The originals are Dino's Song, written by founding member Dino Valenti, Light Your Windows, Calvary, Acapulco Gold & Silver, and The Fool.\nMuch like cousins, the Grateful Dead, these songs were performed in a jam band fashion, free form merged or erupted from the usual order of the song. They were also performed in the context of the day which means often under the influence simple narcotics like marijuana to more mind altering provocations like LSD. It was the Sixties after all, 'Turn on, tune in, drop out,' Timothy Leary suggested. Fundamentally, however, Quicksilver Messenger Service is the quintessential blues rock jam band, who paved they we for many to come, and Live at the Fillmore June 7 1968 captures them in space and time. Recommended.\nFundamentally, however, Quicksilver Messenger Service is the iconic and quintessential blues rock jam band, who paved they way for many to come, and Live at the Fillmore June 7 1968 captures them in space and time.

        "raw_content": "Data center relocation and a new WAN Layer 2 network for Mega Image\nBeing a company that is constantly expanding, Mega Image IT infrastructure follows the same expansive path. In the context of the data center relocation and the need for creating a new WAN Layer 2 network, Mega Image asigned this task to Datanet, a company that could guarantee the project will be done within a fast and efficent process.\nTab SdC Mega Image EN - Datacenter\nABOUT MEGA IMAGE\nMega Image and Datanet Systems did a step by step network upgrade and expansion. The phase by phase implementation initialized before the actual transfer of the equipment to the new data center, had been implied by the critical necessity of ensuring the redundancy and continuity of the business process.\nDatanet Systems has designed and set the new infrastructure network based on Cisco equipment (Catalyst 4500 and Nexus 9000 series) to comply exactly with Mega Image specific requirements. Each set-up has been intensively tested and traffic performances had been monitored before and after the actual migration of the applications and services.\nAlso, Datanet specialists have delivered a complet inventory of all the network components needed for the redesign and expantion phases, in the same time, keeping the existing ones. The result has been according to the client\u2019s requirements, Mega Image managed to complete the project with a cost saving advantage.\nIn the last two months before moving, Mega Image IT department prioritized the relocation project - a tough decision in a business with a high dinamyc \u2013 that was received very well inside the company.\nBefore the actual transfer of the servers and of the storage and networking equipment, Mega Image determined a 9 months relocation time to do the network upgrade and the new design without changing its topology. A critical factor for the IT infrastructure relocation phase success was to ensure the operational continuity of the business process. All these compulsory requirements implied the identification of a strategic partner with advanced capabilities in the networking area, ready to deliver not only the new hardware equipment and the amended implementation services, but to also have a high level of expertise in the field.\nThis is why Mega Image chose Datanet Systems, the main Cisco partner and one of the most important system integrators on the local market, with demonstrated experience in infrastructure projects. Being a strategic partner, Datanet Systems participated both in the designing process of the new network design, along with Belgian consultants of Mega Image, as well as in the planning of each phase of the relocation operations, where Datanet specialists also covered the role of a local project manager.\nThe exact migration of the equipment to the new Data Center took place at the end of the first trimester of 2016. According to the time schedule (Saturday night to Sunday morning), it has been done a gradually shut down of some of the services, according to the coordination with the warehouse that was functioning at that time.\nThe entire downtime lasted approximately 8 hours with the planning being strictely followed, and no negative impact on the operational process in none of the stores. The new network design within the data center ensures not only the equipment hosting, but also a series of services and the Delhaize Group connection to the WAN network, that is no longer managed from the headquarter.\nA first improvement brought by the new data center architecture was the increased agility and flexibility of the IT bank department. The capabilities of the virtual infrastructure are now allowing the department to test and launch in production new functionalities and services in just a matter of hours. The monitoring and analysis functionalities of the new implemented equipment simplify the allocation process of the resources at the application level, allowing a proactive approach of the top tasks.\nWith the help of tools for dynamic allocation has been streamlined and the servers loading level to an optimal average of 50-60% (CPU and RAM). The new infrastructure has brought many performance advantages of over 50% in applications that process data with a direct impact on employees\u2019 productivity and processes.\nMega Image is one of the biggest and largest supermarket chain in Romania. Part of Delhaize Belgian group, the company reached a number of 500 stores by the end of 2016, with 90% of them established in Bucharest.\nThe business processes performed by Mega Image are sustained by a complex infrastructure, which integrates ERP applications, Warehouse Management, POS retail, IP Telephony, etc. Mega Image operates a WAN Network that interconnects locally the data center, the entire market chain, the network headquarter and the two warehouse that are working 24/7, and even a remote site set in Belgium that generates e-mail and IP Telephony services.\n\"Datanet Systems team was capable to cover any requirement of the migration project and was very reliable \u2013 they were very proactive and flexible, ready to help in all phases of the project, either for the upgrade process, expansion and relocation.\"\nAdriana Bran, IT Director, Mega Image",

        "raw_content": "The efficiency of a heat pump, that is, the electrical energy to operate it, is directly related to temperatures between which it operates. Geothermal heat pumps are more efficient than conventional heat pumps or air conditioners that use the outdoor air since the ground or ground water a few feet below the earth's surface remains relatively constant throughout the year. It is more efficient in the winter to draw heat from the relatively warm ground than from the atmosphere where the air temperature is much colder, and in summer transfer waste heat to the relatively cool ground than to hotter air. Geothermal heat pumps are generally more expensive ($2,000\u2013$5,000) to install than outside air heat pumps. However, depending on the location geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy consumption (operating cost) and correspondingly, emissions by more than 20 percent compared to high-efficiency outside air heat pumps. Geothermal heat pumps also use the waste heat from air-conditioning to provide free hot water heating in the summer.",

These would then elect a Committee of 14, who in turn would choose a Dean of Guild.\nThe Burgh Records show that in Lanark, this caused fierce arguments between the Merchant and Crafts Guilds, which lasted until the 19th November 1658. The Council together with Deacons of Crafts finally agreed and elected a Dean of Guild, Michael Gemmell. So the Guildry of Lanark was formally established, in accordance with an Act passed 190 years\npreviously!\nAt this time, as a Member of the Court of Four Burghs, ie Lanark; Linlithgow; Stirling & Edinburgh, Lanark controlled and checked the making and issuing of all Scotland\u2019s standard weights, authenticated by stamping with the Lanark Eagle. This was supervised by the Dean of Guild.\nOther duties included acting in both Judicial and Ministerial capacities; as a Justice of the Peace in the County under the Commission from the Sovereign and as a Trustee under various Road Acts and Private Trusts, in both the Burgh and County in which the \u201cDean of Guild\u201d for \u201cTime Being\u201d was named.\nThrough the years many changes in Local Government have occurred which have diminished the role and influence of the Guildry and today Lanark Guildry\u2019s interests are mainly in acknowledging and promoting the historical traditions of the Royal Burgh of Lanark, such as Lanimers week, and Remembrance day.\nThe Guildry still works for the benefit of the town through membership of various committees and organisations and by donations to the local schools and by providing and presenting a prize each year to the top apprentice at nearby Motherwell College.",

        "raw_content": "We Live in a Culture of Small \u2013 No Greatness Allowed. I know this because of how I am corrected by those around me when I do something that exceeds them. I am put in my place. I live embarrassed of who and how I am knowing there is something wrong with me. I live small, always smaller than those around me so that they don\u2019t feel bad. It is why I don\u2019t talk about my world record, it embarrasses the people around me \u2013 they don\u2019t like it and I would still like to fit in. So I change who I am.\nAnd in so doing, in trying to build a world where no-one is embarrassed or looks bad in front of others, in building a world where how the other feels is more important them how we feel we have created a culture of smallness and mediocrity.\nWe don\u2019t even know what Great looks like anymore!\nThis is an extract from the new book I am writing. It is supposed to be about Deeply Agile, the links between my world record and an Agile Transformation. I suspect it is about autonomy and greatness. We will see how it turns out. This may not even make the book, but it is speaking to where I am right now. So I am sharing it in the hope that it may find those people like me who are struggling to fit into a small world and who have been taught to be embarrassed by their own greatness.\nI am writing this for all the people like you who are finding themselves being put back into a box by someone who can\u2019t cope with your greatness. I am writing this so that you see what is happening and can make another choice. No-one else should be able to tell you how great you can or can not be! Who you are isn\u2019t defined by the insecurities of someone else! It shouldn\u2019t matter how angry and embarrassed they get because of how they compare themselves to you!\nHow dare they limit and define you ?\nHow dare you accept that limit as true ?\nBut to do this you need to be able to see it\u2026..\nHave you noticed how you never seem to excel much past the people who are around you ? I see this strongly in the work place, particularly when it comes to those above us. It is career suicide to be show up someone more senior than you. Then again, you aren\u2019t exactly popular when you are seen to do this by your peers. After all, we are in this together, why would you sabotage me and make me look incompetent by showing off like that. We live in permanent fear of somehow being grander than those above us.\nThey make us feel bad about it! We start to hear phrases like, \u201cWho is the lead here ? \u201c. When you speak those people cut you off or immediately tell everyone else why what you said was wrong. It is all very subtle, nothing overt. A way of telling you to stop making me look bad. Don\u2019t you resepct me ? If you did you wouldn\u2019t show up in a way that makes me look small. I am after all you lead/ manager/ expert.\nSo I stay small so that I fit in with the people around me who all think small and so expect small.\nThere is nothing wrong with small ! Most of us believe and live this life. Our greatness is given to us by others, it is something we don\u2019t take for ourselves. We have to earn it. The next promotion, the next award. Always given. Always with permission from those above us.\nThere is nothing wrong with small \u2013 unless! Unless it isn\u2019t really who you are, unless what you yearn for is the freedom of exploring and trying new things! Unless who you are is grand and great. There is nothing wrong with living small unless you demand that of others! Unless you demand that no-one surpass you and when they do, you make them pay for it.\nFor those who have accepted small as their lot there is nothing more intimidating than someone who lives grand greatness. We live in a word where small is how it is, so we have all become really, really good at stopping anyone from trying to be great! We have become really, really good at making people believe themselves small. I live my life in fear of embarrassing the people around me because I see things in a different way or because I can do something they can\u2019t. I know that I am not allowed to make anyone else feel ashamed.\nThe problem is that to stay small I have to feel constantly as if something is wrong with me. Instead of you being embarrassed I live in permanent embarrassment about who I am. I am permanently apologizing for the things I have done, for the things I see, for the things I find easy and you don\u2019t.\nI am still learning how to let go of fitting into this preformed, pre-determined of world of small and mediocre. A world where every role has its level of greatness assigned to it and you can\u2019t live beyond that without pissing someone off. I am tired of living within this system of smallness that fosters and rewards mediocrity. Because that is really what it is, a system of mediocrity where high performance is pre-defined and depends on you living to someone else\u2019s standard only they are small like you so their idea of high performance is just another flavor of small.\nHigh performance when the people you are competing against are just like you and living within the same limits that cannot be broken isn\u2019t high performance at all. Its advanced mediocrity.\nHigh Performance is not repeating the same results. High performance is being the best you can be without limits, even if that means you outshine someone else. High performance soars in the face of convention.\nSo if you find yourself having to limit yourself to not annoy or embarrass or invoke the ire of the people around you, then know you are not in a high performing team. Any team that requires you to limit yourself to save someone else\u2019s sense of self and pander to their insecurities is not the place for you. A high performing team revels in those moments and people who make everyone go, what ? Why didn\u2019t I think of that ? Could I do that ? And then they go try for themselves.\nHigh performing teams push each other to new limits. There are no roles to stop anyone. If you can do it and do it well then we encourage you and learn from you and try it ourselves.\nSo tell me, are you in a high performing team or are you in one of small mediocrity limited by one or two individuals who just can\u2019t bear to see anyone greater than themselves ?\n\u2039 Food for Thought \u2013 What Are We Really Saying When we Use the Phrase, \u201cRoles & Responsibilities \u201c?\t\u203a Why We Still Need Roles ?

        "title": "Supreme Court Justice's decision denying due process to torture victims.",
        "raw_content": "Supreme Court Justices Denying to Public\nJustice for Illegal and Corrupt Torture\nJustices of the U.S. Supreme again ruled in May 2011 that people tortured by orders of U.S. politicians or bureaucrats have no right to sue because such a lawsuit would required the perpetrators to reveal secrets. This is preposterous, and made more so when the information is already known to the public, having been revealed by media sources and other sources.\nA New York Times article (May 21, 2011) addressed this outrage:\nMalign Neglect: In declining a case brought by torture victims, the Supreme Court [Justices] undermined the rule of law.\nExtraordinary rendition\u2014the abduction of foreigners, often innocent ones, by American agents who sent them to countries well known for torturing prisoners\u2014was central to President George W. Bush's antiterrorism policy. His administration then used wildly broad claims of state secrets to thwart any accountability for this immoral practice.\nPresident Obama has adopted the same legal tactic of using the secrecy privilege to kill lawsuits. So the only hope was that the courts would not permit these widely known abuses of power to go unchecked.\nLast Monday, the Supreme Court abdicated that duty. It declined to review a case brought by five individuals who say\u2014credibly\u2014that they were kidnapped and tortured in overseas prisons. The question was whether people injured by illegal interrogation and detention should be allowed their day in court or summarily tossed out. The court's choice is a major stain on American justice. By slamming its door on these victims without explanation, it removed the essential judicial block against the executive branch's use of claims of secrecy to cover up misconduct that shocks the conscience. It has further diminished any hope of obtaining a definitive ruling that the government's conduct was illegal\u2014a vital step for repairing damage and preventing future abuses.\nThe lead plaintiff, an Ethiopian citizen and resident of Britain named Binyam Mohamed, was arrested in Pakistan in 2002. The C.I.A. turned him over to Moroccan interrogators, who subjected him to brutal treatment that he says included cutting his penis with a scalpel and then pouring a hot, stinging liquid on the open wound.\nAfter the trial court gave in to the secrecy argument, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the case should proceed. It said the idea that the executive branch was entitled to have lawsuits shut down with a blanket claim of national security would \"effectively cordon off all secret actions from judicial scrutiny, immunizing the C.I.A. and its partners from the demands and limits of the law.\"\nLast September, the full appeals court, ruling en banc, reversed that decision by a 6-to-5 vote. The dissenters noted that the basic facts of the plaintiffs' renditions were already public knowledge. But the majority gave in to the pretzel logic shaped by the Bush administration that allowing the torture victims a chance to make their in court using nonsecret evidence would risk divulging state secrets.\nThe Supreme Court allowed that nonsense to stand. It is difficult to believe there are legitimate secrets regarding the plaintiffs' ill treatment at this late date. Last year, a British court released secret files containing the assessment of British intelligence that the detention of Mr. Mohamed violated legal prohibitions against torture and cruel and degrading treatment. The Supreme Court should have grabbed the case and used it to rein in the distorted use of the state secrets privilege, a court-created doctrine meant to shield sensitive evidence in actions against the government, not to dismiss cases before evidence is produced.\nBut this is not the first time the Supreme Court has abdicated its responsibility to hear cases involving national security questions of this sort. A year ago, the Supreme Court refused to consider the claims of Maher Arar, an innocent Canadian whom the Bush administration sent to Syria to be tortured. In 2007, the court could not muster the four votes needed to grant review in the case of Khaled el-Masri, a German citizen subjected to torture in a secret overseas prison.\nAs President Obama's first solicitor general, Justice Elena Kagan was in on the benighted decision to use overwrought secrecy claims to stop any hearing for torture victims. She properly recused herself from voting on the case. Surely among the eight remaining judges there was at least one sensitive to the gross violation of rights, and apparently law. We wish they would have at least offered a dissent or comment to let the world know that the court's indifference was not unanimous.\nInstead, what the world sees is rendition victims blocked from American courts while architects of their torment write books bragging about their role in this legal and moral travesty. Some torture victims bounced from American courts, including Mr. Mohamed and Mr. Arar, have received money from nations with comparatively minor involvement in their ordeals. The Supreme Court's. action ends an important legal case, but not President Obama's duty to acknowledge what occurred, and to come up with ways to compensate torture victims and advance accountability. It is hard, right now, to be optimistic.\nFor a deeper and shocking documented history of misconduct by U.S. Supreme Court Justices--and their complicity in some of America's greatest tragedies--go to www.defraudingamerica.com/supreme_court_index.html.

And this is just the start on the corrupt documented actions of the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices as documented since 1978.\nIF you think this culture doesn't threaten you\u2014regardless of your age\u2014check the following:\nAnd if this doesn't strike home, check the following links:\nwww.defraudingamerica.com/human_rights_violations_united_states.html.\nwww.defraudingamerica.com/fallen_heroes.html.\nwww.defraudingamerica.com/human_rights_violations_stich.html.\nwww.defraudingamerica.com/whistleblowers_index.html.\nAnd if you still aren't convinced, try the following links:\nwww.defraudingamerica.com/al_qaeda_index.html.\nwww.defraudingamerica.com. for a 40-year history of systemic corruption, systemic cover-ups, and repeated consequences for the American public.\nIf the 30-year history of insiders providing reliable and documented information to the American pubic is any guide, virtually no one will react to these grave areas of deadly corruption and go back to their trivial pursuits!

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Malta Asset Holding\nMalta Asset Holding\nMalta is a popular choice for asset holding vehicles as it is a member of the European Union with an excellent tax environment and an extensive network of tax treaties. Income from underlying assets is either not taxed or taxed at 5 or 10% as explained below.\nIncome from foreign or Maltese subsidiaries received by Maltese companies, trusts and foundations and funds is not subject to tax in Malta provided that the holding vehicle holds at least 10% of the assets. Income received from smaller holdings will be subject to tax at an effective rate of 10% (under the five sevenths refund system) when received by companies, trusts and foundations but will generally not be taxable when received by a fund. Malta is a popular choice for holding because of its beneficial tax environment and because it has an extensive network of tax treaties which may make it more beneficial to interpose a Maltese holding than to draw dividends from underlying companies directly in many circumstances.\nMalta is not a traditional choice for the holding of precious metals directly but is used for clients wishing to buy into shared vaults or precious metal funds.\nSome local banks offer the use of safety deposit boxes for clients wishing to hold precious metals in Malta.\nClients wishing to buy into shared vaults such as bullionvault.com may wish to do so via a Maltese company for reasons of anonymity, favourable tax treatement and favourable treatment of receipt of dividends by beneficial owners.\nMaltese vehicles can be used to hold funds generally including funds related to precious metals.\nMalta can be used to hold trading funds and even where local directors are appointed the client can retain trading rights over the account. The benefits of this may be the lower tax rate (effective rate of 10%), anonymity, the deferral of tax by retaining it in a holding vehicle rather than in the beneficial owners\u2019 name directly and the more favourable treatment of income from a Maltese company than other alternatives (especially for clients in the EU). Trading accounts (whether Maltese or international) may be held by online or traditional stock brokers by Maltese vehicles.\nAny portfolio (whether managed by the client or a fund manager) can be owned by a corporate vehicle in Malta and clients often prefer to hold their funds in this way. Such funds can be held either by a local broker (whether online or not) or any foreign broker. This may be especially beneficial for Hedge Funds and Venture Capital funds where the client may anticipate the possibility of a substantial gain on which they may otherwise be taxed more aggressively tha the Maltese rate of 10% for companies, trusts and foundation or 0% for certain funds.\nMaltese companies are ideally suited to holding of real estate in Malta and the holding of real estate in other European countries (whether or directly or through a local subsidiary as may be necessary by law). Malta is a highly popular holding destination and in recent years has seen the transfer of many hundreds of offshore companies holding European real estate to take advantage of Malta\u2019s status as the lowest tax rate in the European Union as offshore companies increasingly come under attack from within the EU.\nMalta is not a traditional destination for the holding of fine art but a number of small galleries have been established in recent years and the area is beginning to grow. There may however be many advantages to the holding of collections elsewhere in a Maltese company or other vehicle such as the exemption from capital gains tax applicable to foreign owned Maltese companies and the generally excellent tax environment.\nMalta has an excellent banking centre which has shown continued growth amidst global recession. The more old-fashion risk-averse attitude of the main local banks has ensured their stability and a number of new banks are taking root in Malta offering savings products. Fixtures held in Malta may be held either personally or via a Maltese vehicle. Income from Maltese earned interest will be taxed at an effective rate of 10% if held by a Maltese vehicle or exempt from tax if held by a non-resident. Malta is a popular destination for the holding of foreign fixtures especially in light of recent issues in Cyprus and the movement of cash (especially Austrian and German funds) out of Switzerland.\nMalta\u2019s maritime registry is the largest in Europe and Malta is a world leader in this area. The appropriate vehicle for the holding of a vessel is a Merchant Shipping Act company which is exempt from tax arising from its vessels and merely pays a nominal tonnage tax. For a full discussion of the benefits of Malta for vessel registration please see our main article on Malta\u2019s maritime sector.\nMalta has an emerging aviation sector which supports the registration of commercial and pleasure craft. For a full discussion of this area please see our main article on Malta\u2019s aviation sector.",

        "raw_content": "Udta Punjab Is Crumbling While Sultan\u2019s Haryana Is More Upbeat\nUdta Punjab could easily be named Ujarata (shattering or falling apart) Punjab. Many people in Punjab do not feel that things are moving in the right direction. Generally, the Haryana people are more upbeat.\nMy wife was very sad after she saw the movie Udta Punjab. I had a difficult time trying to convince her to see the movie Sultan. She said that she did not want to see another movie for a while. However, after seeing the movie Sultan, she felt good. The two movies inadvertently compare Punjab and Haryana, the two neighboring states which used to be parts of one state, joint Punjab. Things are very different in the states and the leading communities in the states (Jatt and Jat) seem to have taken completely different courses. These communities, which are genetically very close and are only separated by a semi-vowel, seem to be moving in completely opposite directions. Udta Punjab and Sultan have succeeded in fairly accurately portraying the moods and spirits in Punjab and Haryana, and in the Jatt and the Jat communities.\nIt is true that to dramatize or make a movie, facts are exaggerated if not stretched a little, yet the general direction of movements in the two states and the states of mind of their people, particularly of the leading communities, seems close to reality. Udta Punjab could easily be named Ujarata (shattering or falling apart) Punjab. Many people in Punjab do not feel that things are moving in the right direction. Generally, the Haryana people are more upbeat. The difference can even be felt in Ambala which is right next to Punjab and has a very large population of Punjabis. In a meeting of writers and intellectuals in Ambala, people told me that the location of Ambala was ideal; a good train would take you to Delhi in about two hours. Interestingly, about twenty years ago, I used to hear that a lot in Rajpura, which so is close to Ambala. Many times, you would hear that a good driver could take you to Delhi (by car) in about three hours. You do not hear such things in Rajpura anymore.\nI feel that the main reason for the social instability and family disintegration in Punjab is the massive migration out of the state, which has reached the proportion of an exodus. One time, due to unavoidable circumstances, my wife and I had to share a taxi ride from Chandigarh to Patiala with a very impressive and graceful woman and her son. They invited us to their palatial home in a very posh colony of Patiala. The husband was a big landlord. All the time we spent together, their only son, about fifteen, talked about his excitement of soon migrating to England. My wife met a very good-looking girl in an exclusive gym in Patiala. She invited her for a cup of tea. The girl told us that she belonged to a big landlord family which owned a big farm near Patiala. She talked a lot about the history and traditions of their family. A few days later, my wife saw her walking with a boy. She introduced him to us and said that he is her younger brother (only son of the family). The first thing the boy said was that he was migrating to Canada very shortly.\nThe movie Sultan shows that Haryana youth feel that they can achieve a lot by staying here. However, the only future the Punjabi youth see for themselves is in migrating out of here by whatever means it takes. A Haryana girl is proud if she becomes a state-level or national-level athlete or wrestler. The quest of a Punjabi girl to migrate can reach almost desperation. A seventeen-year old girl in Patiala was talking seriously about a seventy-year old man. She said that she does not mind marrying him or having any type of relation with him if he helps her to migrate. Punjabi psyche, particularly of the leading community, seems to have become the psyche of uprooted and nomadic people. In such conditions, social stability and social and family relations become the biggest victims.\nMy first exposure to the Jat community was in my childhood when my father got transferred to Jind. I found Jats, particularly their women, simple, straight-forward, honest and hard-working. All of these qualities were beautifully brought out by Kangana Ranaut in her movie Tanu Weds Manu: Returns and then by Anushka Sharma and Salman Khan in their movie Sultan. I liked the movies because I could relate to the characters. However, I am not alone in liking these movies; these movies became very, very popular. Most of the people like social stability, preservation of culture, traditions, value system and family relations. In all these fields, Haryana seems to be doing much better than Punjab, and the difference is most marked in the leading communities in the two states.\nSome people say that the difference in the two states is because the center favors Haryana and discriminates against Punjab. I feel this is a very complicated and multi-dimensional problem. There are economic, social, cultural and historical factors. However, in the era of Globalization, cultural factors are playing a very important role. Punjab has become the epicenter of consumerism in India. As a result of the dominance of western consumer culture, Punjab has lost its traditional culture and value system more than the other states in India. As a result of this loss, Punjab has become more unstable, and the disintegration of family and weakening of social relations is also more in Punjab compared to other states. This is adversely affecting the physical and mental health of Punjabis. A comparative study between the Jatts of Punjab and the Jats of Haryana should be undertaken by a university or some independent group.\nI feel that the results of such a comparative study are going to show that while the Punjabi Jatts are more likely to lead in the ownership of consumer goods such as cars, TVs, computers, refrigerators, smart phones and tablets; the Jats of Haryana are more likely to have more stable family and social relations. The incidence of divorce and broken marriages will be less. I feel that the Jats of Haryana are healthier than the Jatts of Punjab both physically and mentally. The incidence of high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes is less in Jats of Haryana. Similarly, the incidence of mental diseases, particularly anxiety and depression, is less in the Jats of Haryana. The incidence of suicide is much less in Haryana farmers than in Punjabi farmers.\nI think that we need a comparative study to find out whether my impressions are correct or not. If my impressions are verified by objective findings of a comparative study, then we can conclude that having more consumer goods neither makes you happier nor more stable. In other words, economic gain with a cultural loss is a net loss.\nThe movies Udta Punjab and Sultan look complementary to me. One shows that the weakening of the human spirit has led to the drug tragedy in Punjab, and the other shows that if the human spirit is alive, then anything can be achieved and life becomes worthwhile. The weakening of the human spirit makes us weaker and more vulnerable to ailments such as drugs.\nThe question is: why has the Punjabi spirit become weak? I have my theory about this and I want to share it with my readers. I feel that the Jatts are the leading community in Punjab and they set the pace for Punjabi culture, values and way of life. The Jatts of Punjab are unique and different than any other community because they were brought into the Indian mainstream by the Sikh religion, whereas the other communities had already become part of the Indian mainstream before the origin of the Sikh religion. Therefore, the complete identity of Jatts of Punjab is Jatt-Sikh. Without the Sikh identity, they become incomplete. As long as the Sikh part in this equation of Jatt-Sikh remained dominant, the community made tremendous and almost unparalleled progress. Unfortunately, the reverse can also be true. If the Sikh part in this equation becomes recessive, then the community risks losing all of the gains it made. It will not be only this community, but the whole of Punjab and all Punjabis will suffer. A great Punjabi scholar, Professor Puran Singh, wrote that Punjab is alive because of the teachings of the Sikh Gurus: \u201cPunjab jionda Guran de naa te.\u201dA\n1 Comment on \"Udta Punjab Is Crumbling While Sultan\u2019s Haryana Is More Upbeat\"\nAnn Weaver | June 26, 2017 at 12:23 am | Reply\nI came to your Udta Punjab Is Crumbling While Sultan\u2019s Haryana Is More Upbeat \u2013 DesiBuzz page and noticed you could have a lot more traffic.

        "raw_content": "Is A $15 Minimum Wage, More Unionization and a Minimum 3 Week Vacation On the Horizon?\nBy: Michelle Cook, Summer Law Student\nThe Ontario Liberal government has just concluded its comprehensive review of the Ontario Employment Standards Act and Ontario Labour Relations Act, the two pieces of legislation that set out minimum standards in the workplace. While only the interim report has been released to the public, the final version of the Changing Workplaces Review is expected to summarize some harsh realities about what composes the modern workplace, such as precarious employment, temporary short-term contracts, misclassification of job titles and union animosity. This, in turn, has led to a growing sense of anxiety about job security for many Ontarian workers.\nThis long-overdue review involved the input of numerous academic experts and industry discussions. The conclusions of the Interim Report were clear: something needs to be done. However, it remains to be seen what exact changes will be implemented, especially as the Ontario Liberals head into a difficult election season next year. Despite that, it was recently reported by the Toronto Star that Labour Minister Kevin Flynn is considering broad proposals, such as:\nraising the minimum wage to $15;\nplacing a reverse onus on employers to demonstrate why part-time and contractual work (which deprives employees of many labour protections and benefits) is not full-time permanent employment;\nboosting vacation pay from two weeks to three weeks, on par with more industrialized countries; and\nreducing hurdles to unionization by introducing card-based certification in precarious work groups such as cleaning staff and home-care workers, who have traditionally not organized due to their disperse and fragmented workplaces.\nWhile these proposals are a step in the right direction to increase worker\u2019s entitlements, the proposals may not go far enough to address significant problems such as automation, out-sourcing, difficulties in organizing franchised workplaces, and the difficulties of enforcing labour laws. No matter what proposals are eventually implemented, one thing is certain: there will be push-back from employers saying it goes too far while unions will criticize the changes for not going far enough.\nDevry Smith Frank LLP is a full service law firm that has a very experienced group of lawyers within our employee and labour law groups.

        "raw_content": "DSACT Proudly Supports HB3374\nDSACT is pleased and proud to announce that Texas Rep. Geanie Morrison has filed HB 3374, a new bill that would require the provision of current information about Down syndrome to new and expectant parents at the time they receive test results that are positive for Down syndrome. The information would have to be evidence-based and reviewed by medical experts and national Down syndrome organization. The parents would also be given contact information for national and local Down syndrome organizations. This bill addresses the needlessly traumatic situation faced by many new and expectant parents who receive the diagnosis, but get no information about Down syndrome, or get only negative and/or outdated information. DSACT proudly supports HB 3374.\nDSACT wants its members to be aware that a different bill has also been filed concerning the provision of information about Down syndrome to new and expectant parents. This bill prohibits the mention of termination as a pregnancy option when Down syndrome is prenatally diagnosed. Such a prohibition would eliminate the use of the best written resource for new and expectant parents, a booklet entitled \u201cUnderstanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis\u201d which was exhaustively reviewed and then agreed upon by national medical and Down syndrome organizations. The national medical groups who reviewed the content of the booklet and agreed to be listed as reviewers did so only on the condition that all pregnancy options be mentioned \u2013 continuation, termination and adoption. There is no reputable resource that (a) has been reviewed by medical experts and local and national Down syndrome organizations, and (b) mentions only pregnancy continuation and adoption as options following a prenatal diagnosis. Therefore, if a bill was passed with this prohibition, an entirely new resource would have to be developed, and the medical community would likely dismiss it as a political instrument. It took many years to draft \u201cUnderstanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis\u201d and gain the input and consensus of its various reviewers; this booklet has earned the respect of the Down syndrome and medical communities. In our view, new and expectant parents cannot be asked to wait many more years for a new, less credible resource to be developed when a valuable, strong resource already exists.\nDSACT uses \"Understanding a Down Syndrome Diagnosis\" in its medical outreach program, and in many ways has built its strong program around the credibility of this resource and the support it received from the national medical and Down syndrome organizations who reviewed it. All of this would be lost if the bill with the prohibitory language was passed.\nDSACT cannot support a bill with a political pro-life or pro-choice position. Instead, DSACT is strongly pro-information. For these reasons, DSACT supports only HB 3374 and does not support any other bill related to Down syndrome information. Please contact DSACT if you have any questions about our legislative efforts during this important session.",

        "raw_content": "Medications are often used for treatment for adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but many patients remain symptomatic despite treatment with stimulants or other drugs. A recent randomized trial evaluated the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in 86 adult patients with persistent, clinically significant ADHD symptoms who were already being treated with medication. Patients were randomized to 12 weekly sessions of individual CBT vs. progressive muscle relaxation training with educational support. Medications were continued during the trial. In post-treatment assessment at approximately 15 weeks, the CBT group had a higher rate of treatment response on the Clinical Global Impressions scale (53% vs. 23%, p = 0.01, NNT 4) and on the ADHD rating scale (67% vs. 33%, p = 0.002, NNT 3) (level 2 [mid-level] evidence). CBT was also associated with significantly greater improvement in self-reported symptoms (p < 0.001). Responders in the CBT group showed sustained improvement at 6 and 12 month follow-up visits (JAMA 2010 Aug 25;304(8):875).\nFor more information, see the Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults topic in DynaMed.",

        "raw_content": "by: John Stillwell.\nIn this new textbook, acclaimed author John Stillwell presents a lucid introduction to Lie theory suitable for junior and senior level undergraduates. In order to achieve this, he focuses on the so-called 'classical groups'' that capture the symmetries of real, complex, and quaternion spaces. These symmetry groups may be represented by matrices, which allows them to be studied by elementary methods from calculus and linear algebra. This naive approach to Lie theory is originally due to von Neumann, and it is now possible to streamline it by using standard results of undergraduate mathematics. To compensate for the limitations of the naive approach, end of chapter discussions introduce important results beyond those proved in the book, as part of an informal sketch of Lie theory and its history. John Stillwell is Professor of Mathematics at the University of San Francisco. He is the author of several highly regarded books published by Springer, including The Four Pillars of Geometry (2005), Elements of Number Theory (2003), Mathematics and Its History (Second Edition, 2002), Numbers and Geometry (1998) and Elements of Algebra (1994).",

The recommended survey season for Great Crested Newts approaches with the inevitability of Christmas. If you require or are likely to require Newt surveys this year it is worth booking them early to avoid any possible delays.\nTypically around 4-6 surveys are carried out in the spring of suitable Newt breeding habitat. If you are planning a development the suitable habitat is normally identified during the Phase I, or similar habitat appraisal, survey by a competent ecologist. If a development is likely to impact a suitable Great Crested Newt pond or terrestrial habitat then a mitigation licence from Natural England is likely to be required which will require suitable surveys. As the surveys are season, as well as weather, dependent it is important that they are planned to be carried out in plenty of time.\nIf you are unsure if you are going to require a Great Crested Newt survey, and you have not done so already, it is worth having a Phase I survey carried out. These are normally required as part of a planning application. A Phase I survey will assess all the habitats on a site as well as their potential to support protected or notable species.\nPlease contact us if you wish to discuss a Great Crested Newt Survey or a Phase I survey.",

        "title": "The Power Of Fashion | Fashion | Life Style | January 2013 | emel - the muslim lifestyle magazine",
        "raw_content": "Fashion is powerful, but not always good. Sarah Joseph declares Muslims can create a viable counter narrative to the excesses of the fashion industry.\nFashion was, for me, one of the more contentious additions to emel\u2014I had been brought up in the industry. My mother owned one of the world\u2019s top model agencies with offices in London, Milan, Los Angeles, and Tokyo throughout her 30-year career.\u202fSurrounded by fashion-conscious models, fashion shoots, fashion shows, and fashion magazines\u202ffrom three weeks old, I was all fashioned-out by the age of eight. I had seen how the industry worked, and I did not like it. Yet my experience is nothing to what happens today. When I was growing up, the models were size 10 as standard. Today, such sizing would be considered \u2018plus size\u2019 in the industry. Photoshopping makes models in mainstream magazines and advertising campaigns appear as illusions, not reality. With all of this as my background, how could there possibly be a \u201cMuslim angle\u201d to fashion?\nThere is no denying the power and pull of an industry worth close to one trillion dollars. The British fashion industry alone is worth over $32.75 billion. The luxury group LVMH\u2014Louis Vuitton Mo\u00ebt Hennessy\u2014has global sales of $14.4 billion. Muslims are not immune to that allure, and focus groups wanted fashion in the magazine. So the question was how could I overcome my considerable mistrust of the industry, and more importantly, how could we conceptualise fashion from within an Islamic framework?\nThe Qur\u2019an itself references the need for, and the objectives of, clothing, describing it as a protection, and one of God\u2019s blessing (16:81). The purpose of clothing is so that one can be recognised as upright (33:59). Clothing is used as part of a metaphor for paradise (18:31), and for the closeness of the marital relationship (2:187). It is to cover and to beautify:\u202f\u201cO children of Adam! Indeed, We have bestowed upon you from on high the knowledge of making garments to cover your nakedness, and as a thing of beauty: but the garment of God-consciousness is the best of all. Herein lies a message from God, so that man might take it to heart.\u201d\u202f(7:26) Given that the Divine has made so many references to clothing, the question we asked ourselves was how fashion could be relevant to the broad spectrum of social issues, and how it can make one more God conscious.\nThe first concern was the use of models. I was not comfortable with using models for any fashion feature. How would they be chosen? Should they be tall or average height, blonde or brunette, Western, Arab, Asian, size 0, 4, 8, 12, 16? Should they wear a scarf if they didn\u2019t normally wear one? Many Muslim fashion companies do use models\u2014tall, thin, Eastern European girls with full make-up, tiny figures, and a scarf stuck on. Instinctively, I would not agree, and so we had to find different ways of displaying clothes: we hung them from trees, on mannequins, and laid out on the floor, but there is nothing quite like a human wearing clothes to give them shape and form. So we tried what affectionately became known in the office as the \u201cFrench Revolution Approach\u201d\u2014we used models shown with their heads cut off. This carried with it huge logistical problems during the fashion shoot, and many readers found the pictures strange. Eventually, I agreed that people could be used to display the clothes, and we would show their faces, so long as they were ordinary people and not models. We would not choose the individuals, rather any person could volunteer. This would mean that our fashion was real and attainable.\nMuslim tradition has dealt with fashion in many ways. In terms of fabric, silk and cotton were historically made of a very high quality in the Muslim world. Egyptian cotton is internationally famed. Renaissance painters would paint Arabesque on the edges of the silk in paintings of The Holy Family so as to be associated with silk from the Muslim world. But fashion extends beyond the fabric of the garment, it permeates every aspect of its style. In emel we have covered designers, High Street designs, the layered look, traditional clothing, protest clothing, men\u2019s and women\u2019s clothing, children\u2019s clothes, second-hand fashion, ethical and fair trade, and many more themes and styles.\nI have been an admirer of your magazine from day one and i appreciate out-of-box thinking based on an Islamic framework to offer an alternative away from the prevailing obscenity. One of the method has been to completely erase the face making it blank, which has been copied as well by Muslim animators who wants to deliver story telling for children etc.",

        "title": "1st International Seminar \u201cEducation and eLearning in Prisons in Portugal\u201d",
        "raw_content": "November 2018 \u2013 Porto, Portugal\nOn the 6thof November, the city of Porto hosted the first International Seminar on \u201cEducation and eLearning in Prisons in Portugal\u201c.\nIn a combined organisation of the Open University (Universidade Aberta) and the Coimbra\u2019s University Centre for 20thCentury Interdisciplinary Studies (Centro de Estudos Interdisciplinares do S\u00e9culo XX \u2013 CEIS20 da Universidade de Coimbra), this Seminar aimed to give voice to several studies that have been carried out within the scope of the educational phenomenon in the prison context.\nThe presentation of the EducOnline@Pris Digital Campus, a project developed in partnership between Universidade Aberta and the Directorate General for Reintegration and Prison Services (Dire\u00e7\u00e3o-Geral de Reinser\u00e7\u00e3o e Servi\u00e7os Prisionais \u2013 DGRSP), intended to promote Higher Education and Training in prisons in Portugal, marked the programme\u2019s opening.\nAnt\u00f3nio Moreira, lecturer and director of the Universidade Aberta \u2013 Regional Delegation of Porto and \u201cEaD and eLearning in Prisons in Portugal\u201d Project Coordinator, explained how this project allows the prison population to access Higher Education through secure and limited Internet access.\nThis pioneering step taken by the Open University in national prisons inspired most of the presentations made at the Seminar. In the words of DGRSP\u2019s Deputy Director General, Isabel Antunes, \u2018Education and Training\u2019 play a key role in training and reintegrating people in detention, as this is usually related to dealing with change-averse places and staff having to face multiple challenges. The Education sector and its professionals are also aware of this reality and so far their response has been decisive and positive.\nPresentations in the fields of innovation, challenge and citizenship based on a digital culture, and bringing together justice and equity issues have coincided throughout the event, namely from the UK, Spain, Portugal and Brazil, for these form the basis of numerous projects concerning Prison Education (PE) nowadays.\nOne of the Seminar panels (from left to right): Anne Pike \u2013 Institute of Educational Technology (IET), Open University \u2013 UK | Carlinda Leite \u2013 Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, University of Porto (FPCEUP) \u2013 Portugal | Ant\u00f3nio Viedma Rojas \u2013 National Distance Education University (UNED) \u2013 Spain\nWith regard to these, Domingos Caeiro (Vice-Rector of the Universidade Aberta) stated that there is strong agreement that institutions, like the Open University, design projects that open doors for citizens with high levels of vulnerability and, therefore, it is an institutional duty to play an active role in working for more social justice within knowledge societies.\nTaking the premises of Ant\u00f3nio Viedma Rojas, from the National Distance Education University (UNED) \u2013 Spain, into account, the questions remained whether a student in the prison context is the same as any other; what steps are needed to be taken towards a more effective European Higher Education policy; and how to guarantee the right to Education for all, in a differentiated and inclusive way.\nAnne Pike, lecturer at the Open University (UK), alluded to the underlying irony that a protected teaching environment inside a prison means for the student, and also the need to analyse the creation of follow-up units to ensure continuity of studies after a sentence has been served.\nIn a space and time that is made up of overlapping temporalities, in which a process of dematerialisation could be regarded as a (plausible) solution for the greater good of protecting society, as referred to by Lu\u00eds Alcoforado, researcher at the CEIS20 Educational Policies, Organisations and Dynamics Group (GRUPOEDE), Regina Branco, Head of the Multidisciplinary Team: Centre for Programme Management and Prison Treatment Activities within the DGRSP, emphasised the need to walk the path slowly (\u2018step by step\u2019) and safely. However, one should bear in mind that, with the creation of a virtual campus, the possibilities are endless.\nAs Ant\u00f3nio Moreira pointed out, PE is now (and will continue) focusing on the digital, with its own brand at a technological and pedagogical level, and in a way that it creates a unique, pioneering and innovative digital ecosystem, enabling inmates to learn and develop competences differently from what they were used to.\nThis reality is also gaining new ground with the creation of the Portuguese Prison Education Association (APEnP), whose interests lie in: promoting Education and Training programmes and related activities in prison establishments in Portugal; stimulating professional development of prison teachers; supporting PE research studies; as highlighted by Jos\u00e9 Pinto (President) and Armando Loureiro (Member of the Executive Board) during their presentation.\nFinally, the work carried out by all present at this 1stInternational Seminar was reflected in the words of an inmate of the Prison Establishment of Porto, during the preview of a documentary, directed by Pedro Branco: \u201cWhen I am at school, I am rarely imprisoned!\u201d.\nFor this feeling to have a long-lasting effect in PE, collaborative work among all actors needs to be effective (universities, institutions, prison administrations, prison population, correctional staff, schools, teachers, associations\u2026), so that both academic and social reintegration goals can be, even more, accurately projected.\nby Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f3nio Moreira\n\u2013 Lecturer and Director of the Open University \u2013 Regional Delegation of Porto\n\u2013 \u201cEaD and eLearning in Prisons in Portugal\u201d Project Coordinator\nE-learning Methods Workshop 10-11 December 2015\n10-11 December 2015, Dublin, Ireland EuroPris, CEP and the Irish Probation Service organize jointly a...

        "raw_content": "The Wisden Forty\nLawrence Booth and Rob Smyth\nThe Wisden Forty, including the Leading Cricketer in the World, have been selected by Wisden as the top 40 cricketers in the game on the basis of their class and form shown in all cricket during the calendar year 2006. The selections were made in consultation with many of the world's most experienced cricket writers and commentators. In the end, though, they were Wisden's choices, guided by the statistics but not governed by them. The selection panel are no more infallible than any other selectors.\nThe poster boy in an essentially faceless New Zealand side \u00a9 Getty Images\nShane Bond New Zealand\nWith Bond, you know the script in advance: once again, his year was a mixture of exasperatingly frequent injury and occasionally thrilling harm to opposition batting line-ups. He managed only four of New Zealand's eight Tests because of a stomach virus and then a long-term knee injury, but won the match award in the two victories he played in: against West Indies at Auckland, when he dismissed Lara with both balls he bowled to him, and Sri Lanka at Christchurch. Bond was the poster boy in an essentially faceless New Zealand side, but fate skimped on the Blu-tack and he kept falling down. On song, he was up there with the world's best fast bowlers: of his 18 Test wickets, five fell for ducks and a further eight in single figures. In an age of flat pitches and capricious bowlers, Bond was one to cherish. It was just a shame sightings were so rare.\n4 Tests: 36 runs @ 9.00; 18 wickets @ 26.16\n11 ODI: 26 runs @ 13.00; 21 wickets @ 22.04\nStuart Clark Australia\nJust as batsmen looked free from a life of torture by tall, forensic, metronomic Australian seamers, Clark pulled them back in. His similarities to McGrath were startling. Without a Test cap at the start of the year, he was a revelation: brainy, immaculate in his appraisal of the correct length to bowl, and seemingly able to move the ball both ways off the pitch at will. Yet perhaps his greatest strength was his consistency: only once in 16 innings did Clark fail to take a wicket, and only thrice did he go at three an over, a remarkable achievement in the modern game. He replaced the absent McGrath in South Africa, where he took nine for 89 on debut and 20 wickets at 15 in the series. To prove that was no fluke, he bowled even better in the Ashes, this time alongside McGrath, and was again the top wicket-taker with 26 at 17. Batsmen were left hoping that he would be afflicted by second-album syndrome. There was little else to cling on to.\n8 Tests: 81 runs @ 11.57; 42 wickets @ 17.76\nMichael Clarke Australia\nWith Australia's geriatricos moving ever closer to retirement, Clarke's time was always going to come again. But it arrived rather sooner than expected when Shane Watson was ruled out of the Ashes, and he took advantage with a maturity and equilibrium of which few thought him capable. Technically he was playing much straighter, and psychologically he was now happy to play the straight man. Even his once-delirious celebrations were restrained. His 124 at Adelaide, when he reined himself to hit just nine fours from 224 balls, seemed as anonymous as any in modern history, until it acquired new meaning on a dramatic final day, and his unbeaten 135 in the next Test at Perth was lost in the wreckage of Gilchrist's onslaught. Where Clarke was a spectacular presence was in the field; his inclusion was a shot of Botox to an ageing unit, and few took liberties against him.\n6 Tests: 429 runs @ 71.50; no wicket for 60\n28 ODI: 729 runs @ 40.50; 8 wickets @ 35.87\nImpossible not to admire Collingwood \u00a9 Getty Images\nPaul Collingwood England\nCollingwood had always craved a regular seat at cricket's top table, and in 2006 he finally got it. Nobody played more than his 14 Tests, and only Mohammad Yousuf and Dravid faced more deliveries. But although he averaged over 50, many observers still felt he didn't belong: he reached 50 in only five of his 26 innings, and none came in an England victory, an apt reflection of his fire-fighting role. When he did get in, however, he invariably made it count: there was an accelerating 134 not out at Nagpur, his maiden Test century, a ruthless 186 against Pakistan at Lord's and, most famously of all, 206 at Adelaide. It was no coincidence that it came on Australia's most subcontinental wicket. Collingwood's stiff, bottom-handed technique made him vulnerable on bouncing, seaming pitches, and he struggled badly against Clark in particular. He remained a magnificent fielder, a consummate team man and a rugged scrapper confident enough to pick a series-long fight with Warne (and have a head-to-head average of 151 against him). It was impossible not to admire him.\n14 Tests: 1,121 runs @ 50.95; 1 wicket @ 174.00\nRahul Dravid India\nFor most, an average of 60 would have represented unimaginable treasures; for Dravid, it was merely a means of keeping the stats topped up. He was his usual, rock-solid self, never more than when grinding out 496 runs at 82 to seal India's first series win in the Caribbean for 35 years. Scores of 81 out of 200 and 68 out of 171 in the victory at Kingston represented one of the performances of the decade. But there were moments when the pressures of leading the world's most demanding cricket nation threatened even this monolith. Hundreds in the draws at Lahore and Faisalabad were followed by two single-figure dismissals - for the first time in the same Test for four years - during the doomed decider at Karachi, and he went surprisingly century-less at home to England. The tour of South Africa turned out to be a personal and collective disappointment but, with Tendulkar either injured or below-par, Dravid's wicket was the one most treasured by the opposition. And he remained the most courteous and affable captain on the circuit.\n12 Tests: 1,095 runs @ 60.83\n27 ODI: 919 runs @ 35.34\nStephen Fleming New Zealand\nPerhaps Fleming's outstanding achievement was that he was going strong in his tenth year as New Zealand captain. There was no sign of burnout; indeed, at 33, he was still burning himself in as a leader: he found all the possibilities of field placing, bowling changes and mind games infinitely fascinating. He remained impressively hard-nosed, and didn't suffer fools gladly, which was unfortunate given some of the personnel at his disposal. He became the first New Zealander to play 100 Tests, against South Africa at Centurion, and then slammed a year-defining 262 in the next match at Cape Town. His cover-drive was as pristine as ever, and his slip fielding as reliable; no non-keeper exceeded Fleming's 19 catches. The only black spot was his continued inability to reach fifty in the second innings; by the end of the year, he had not done so in 44 months and 20 attempts.\n8 Tests: 570 runs @ 47.50\nThe year began brilliantly, with the most improbable of wins in Mumbai \u00a9 Getty Images\nAndrew Flintoff England It was the year in which England's superhero was dramatically stripped of his powers: there were no centuries, no five-fors and, most surprisingly, none of the joie de vivre that usually characterises his game. He remained one of the best fast bowlers in the world, but his batting was racked by indecision: his strike-rate of 51 runs per 100 balls was down by 13 from the previous year. Yet when Flintoff, replacing Vaughan as captain in India at the last minute, led an inexperienced side to a victory in Mumbai as improbable and uplifting as any in recent memory, it seemed there was nothing he couldn't do. The first signs of trouble came against Sri Lanka at Lord's, when Flintoff overbowled himself horribly (51 overs in the second innings) in a failed bid for victory. He then missed the Pakistan series for more ankle surgery, before returning as captain in Australia, beating Strauss to the job by a whisker. He led from the front with a truly heroic bowling display in the First Test, but the gyp from a dodgy ankle and an even dodgier team soon began to wear him down, and long before the series was over he had the empty stare of a beaten man. It was hard to escape the conclusion that the captaincy had emasculated him, particularly with the bat: at first it had inspired him to make four consecutive, controlled half-centuries in India but, as the year went on, Flintoff seemed unsure whether to stick or biff, and in the remaining seven Tests he averaged just 20. England were left hoping that the return of Vaughan would lead to the return of the real Flintoff.\n10 Tests: 469 runs @ 31.26; 33 wickets @ 33.78\n7 ODI: 102 runs @ 14.57; 6 wickets @ 29.33\nChris Gayle West Indies\nAt his best, Gayle mixed nonchalance and big hitting like no one else in the game. His 37 sixes in all Tests and one-day internationals were more than any other player, and almost two-thirds of his 1,217 one-day runs - only Sangakkara scored more - came in boundaries. Three hundreds at the Champions Trophy made him the indisputable player of the tournament. At his worst, he lacked drive, ruthlessness and, many felt, concentration. In 11 of his 18 Test innings he made between 30 and 93, and a pair in the deciding Fourth Test against India in Jamaica again raised questions about his temperament. His deceptively languid off-spin - slow, slow, quick - made him a genuine all-rounder in the one-day game, and his left-handed brand of stand and deliver were one of the few reasons to keep watching West Indies. If Gayle could only turn cameos into concrete, there would have been even more.\n32 ODI: 1,217 runs @ 41.96; 29 wickets @ 33.44\nAdam Gilchrist Australia\nIt was a case of adapt or die as the world's seamers went round the wicket to harry and stifle Gilchrist, attempting to replicate England's success in stopping him in 2005. And although the deaths were quicker and more frequent than before, he occasionally managed to adapt, with predictably incendiary results. His 86 against South Africa at Sydney was full of characteristic counter-attack, while his 144 at Fatullah spared Australia the indignity of following on against Bangladesh; of course, they went on to win. But the most glorious response came at Perth against England. Had Gilchrist hit his 55th ball for three, he would have beaten Viv Richards's record for the fastest Test century, but he had to settle for a 57-ball hundred instead. In the one-day game, he continued to strike fear at the top of the order, though his keeping fell just short of his own exacting standards. Still, with Australia's bowlers creating so many chances, it hardly mattered.\n10 Tests: 459 runs @ 38.25; 35 catches, four stumpings.\n22 ODI: 810 runs @ 38.57; 32 catches, four stumpings\nPassion still firing on all cylinders \u00a9 Getty Images\nMatthew Hayden Australia\nExperience - plus the desire to take revenge on England - dictated Hayden's new-found fastidiousness, forged in the aftermath of the 2005 Ashes and developed as that year ran its course. Now he applied himself as never before, taking five hours over a century at Durban, 273 minutes to compile 72 in the Fatullah run-chase, and 252 to play his way back into form with 92 against England at Perth. His more natural aggression could not always be tempered, and the Ashes did not begin well, but with team-mates reaching the end of their shelf-life - including Langer, his old mucker - Hayden resolved to be around for another Australian summer and help bed in his new opening partner. His one-day career looked to be heading for a quiet conclusion until he was recalled for the Commonwealth Bank Series, and he survived for one more World Cup. Certainly, the competitive fires burned as patriotically as ever.\n10 Tests: 789 runs @ 43.83\n2 ODI: 103 runs @ 51.50\nMatthew Hoggard England\nThe more things change, the more they stay the same. The sight of Hoggard trudging back to his mark for one more over was one of the reassuring constants of England's up-and-down year: no other bowler came close to his tally of 14 Tests, and the side injury that kept him out at Sydney ended a run of 40 games, a sequence undoubtedly helped by his relatively rare appearances in the one-day side. As usual, he mixed thrift (2.98 an over) with toil while maintaining his habit of silencing those who felt he was less effective outside England: 30.5-13-57-6 at Nagpur, and 42-6-109-7 on a heartbreaker at Adelaide. But it was his sheer consistency that continued to astonish: only three times in 26 Test innings did he go wicketless, and his new-ball inswing to the ever-growing army of left-handed openers remained a captain's delight. By the end of the year he had moved ahead of Andrew Caddick - who had once made the mistake of publicly underestimating Hoggard - into seventh place in England's all-time list. Only his batting regressed: his contributions as night-watchman fell away, and he ended up as No. 11, even for England.\n14 Tests: 121 runs @ 6.36; 51 wickets @ 30.58\n2 ODI: 7 runs @ 7.00; no wicket for 118\nMike Hussey Australia\nSo you thought they might work him out, did you? Hussey's second year proved just as productive as his first. If the nickname \"Mr Cricket\" plumbed new depths of obviousness, it was hard to think of an apter alternative. Underpinned by an irrepressible cover-drive and a decisive leave-alone, his batting oozed dedication and inevitability. Even the only discernible weakness - he was out between 73 and 91 five times - was one most batsmen would crave, and by the end of the Ashes Hussey had made the No. 4 slot his own. His one-day batting continued to astound. Of his eight not-outs in 22 innings, seven came in Australian wins and the other - a century against West Indies in the DLF Cup - took place when Australia batted first. Was this the most unforgiving batsman to bowl at since Bradman? At the end of the year, career averages of nearly 80 in Tests and 77 in one-day internationals suggested it was a reasonable question.\n10 Tests: 965 runs @ 80.41; no wicket for 23\n27 ODI: 784 runs @ 56.00; 1 wicket @ 63.00\nAgitator or national hero? \u00a9 AFP\nInzamam-ul-Haq Pakistan\nAs Inzamam approached the twilight, the runs refused to flow as they once did, but then not even a triple-century against India would have overshadowed his role in the Oval fiasco. He was either decried as an agitator or hailed as a national hero for his protest against the penalty imposed for alleged ball-tampering. Almost incidentally, Inzamam's batting was below par. He hit 119 in the Faisalabad bore-draw against India and a pair of fifties at Lord's, but then went nine Test innings without a half-century - his worst sequence for eight years - before making an unbeaten 58 against West Indies at Karachi. It was hard to avoid the conclusion that, at 36, his powers were on the wane.\nSanath Jayasuriya Sri Lanka\nJayasuriya contravened all norms of ageing: at 37, he was more free-spirited than ever. Nobody who scored 300 one-day runs got near his blistering strike-rate of 107, and four of his five centuries came at comfortably more than a run a ball. The highlight was an astonishing 99-ball 152 at Headingley to seal a whitewash of England. But Jayasuriya's hammer was fickle in Tests, where he struggled badly after reversing his decision to retire in April: he made just one fifty in seven Tests, a raucous 73 in the narrow win over South Africa in Colombo.\n7 Tests: 211 runs @ 17.58; 4 wickets @ 66.25\nMahela Jayawardene Sri Lanka\nSmall, slight, and softly spoken, Jayawardene might have been the least likely assassin in world cricket, but this was a triumphant year, both as a batsman and a captain. Although there were eight single-figure scores in 20 innings, including four ducks, it was the high points that made the headlines. First, he helped save the Lord's Test with elegant innings of 61 and 119. Then he took two sparkling hundreds off England's ailing one-day attack. But the zenith came with his chanceless 374 - the fourth-highest individual Test score - against South Africa at Colombo's SSC, where he added 624 with Kumar Sangakkara, a world record for any wicket in first-class cricket. It went beyond the realms of career-defining and confirmed his status as one of the three best batsmen in Sri Lanka's history, along with Jayasuriya and Aravinda de Silva. His one-day aggregate was bettered only by Sangakkara and Gayle, while his captaincy stocks rose too, thanks to unlikely series draws in England and New Zealand, plus a home win against South Africa. Jayawardene's success story was one of the most popular in world cricket.\n36 ODI: 1,185 runs @ 40.86; no wicket for 15\nKallis, only the second player to achieve the Test double \u00a9 Getty Images\nJacques Kallis South Africa\nRun-gathering and milestone-passing had long been a fact of life, but so too had the feeling that Kallis's fortunes were not always bound up with that of his team. Some of his gutsiest batting came during the hammerings by Australia, but his statistically eye-catching return of 111 and 50 not out at Sydney was tempered by the fact that he took three hours over his second innings at a time when quick runs were required. Elbow surgery ruled him out of the ill-fated trip to Sri Lanka, but personal ambition and team success did coincide against New Zealand, when Kallis became the second player, after Garfield Sobers, to achieve the Test double of 8,000 runs and 200 wickets. His bowling was steady - he averaged 12 overs per Test innings - but good enough for him to stay top of the ICC's all-rounder rankings, and he briefly took over the captaincy twice. As usual, though, you wondered whether fourth gear would ever be located.\n8 Tests: 620 runs @ 44.28; 15 wickets @ 32.73\n14 ODI: 373 runs @ 31.08; 17 wickets @ 23.58\nKamran Akmal Pakistan\nHe was not the first keeper to look bad on his maiden tour of England, but it seemed fairer to discern Akmal's real worth in his performances at home to India at the start of the year. He began with an 81-ball century at Lahore, at the time the fastest by a wicketkeeper in Tests, then made 78 after being drafted in as an emergency opener at Faisalabad. But his all-wicket potential was displayed most thrillingly in the decider, when he made 113 from No. 8 after Pakistan had slid to 39 for six on an atypically green firstmorning pitch at Karachi. They ended up winning too, with Akmal holding on to six catches. He moved up and down the one-day order without finding a home, but that was a sign of Pakistan's desire to accommodate him as much as anything.\n12 Tests: 606 runs @ 40.40; 37 catches, 5 stumpings\n23 ODI: 340 runs @ 20.00; 22 catches, 3 stumpings\nAnil Kumble India\nMore than ever, Kumble's unyieldingly accurate top-spinners and leg-breaks stood four-square with Dravid's batting as the foundations of an erratic Indian team. Only Muralitharan and Ntini took more Test wickets, and no one came close to his 633 overs. At 35, he could still be relied upon to exploit favourable conditions: nine wickets at Mohali saw off England, and his six-for in Jamaica inspired India's historic win over West Indies. In the first of those games, he became the fifth bowler to pass 500 Test wickets; in the second, he inched past 2,000 runs. It was a double previously achieved only by Warne. Kumble's innate modesty somehow precluded fanfare, but he was still bowling with the guile of an all-time great.\n3 ODI: 3 runs @ 1.00; 2 wickets @ 49.50\n5,316 runs in defeat for Lara, whose appetite remained insatiable \u00a9 AFP\nBrian Lara West Indies\nFor much of a year in which West Indies failed to win a single Test, Lara could not even sugar the pill with his customary bouts of personal glory. He averaged 18 in New Zealand, 26 at home to India - lower than any of West Indies' recognised batsmen in that series - and even threatened to cut short his third stint as captain on the grounds that he was not getting the team he wanted. But 122 at Lahore and 216 at Multan, leading to a series average of nearly 90, restored the status quo, and, at 37, Lara finished the year only 47 runs shy of 12,000 in Tests. His appetite was all the more remarkable for the fact that he had now lost 63 Tests (out of 131), comfortably a world record, and had scored 5,316 runs in defeat, more than 2,000 clear of the next man, his team-mate Chanderpaul. During the Indian series he complained that his reputation as captain was being \"dragged down\". As a batsman, it was still sometimes a different matter.\nBrett Lee Australia\nIt was a typical Lee year: at times he bowled beautifully, at times he went round the park, and the chips fell, as they always do, on an average just the wrong side of 30. Often that felt like an inevitable consequence of his specific role - shock bowlers will always have the occasional shocker - but at other times there was frustration that he had not made significant progress. Or indeed any: his Test average for the year was just 0.01 greater than in 2005, but the finer points suggested a different, more cautious bowler. Lee's strike-rate worsened, but his economy-rate improved. He still had the appetite for destruction, however, and spreadeagled South Africa's lower order at Durban. Then, after taking a while to rev up in the Ashes, he took 12 wickets in the final two Tests and looked devastating. It was hard to believe that, with his cherubic features and insatiable enthusiasm, Lee was now the wrong side of 30 himself.\nDarren Lehmann South Australia and Yorkshire\nA beer, a fag and a century were all Lehmann usually needed to keep happy, and they were in regular supply in 2006. Even in his dotage he was one of the surest things around, averaging 48.82 in the Pura Cup at either end of the year and 77.54 in the Championship for Yorkshire in between. In his final innings for the county he made the highest-ever score at Headingley, 339, and was two short of Yorkshire's all-time record. With his protruding belly and naive behaviour - he got into trouble for comments after South Australia's ING Cup final defeat and for gestures to Lancashire fans - Lehmann felt like the last of a dying breed. But his time wasn't up just yet.\nNot as potent, but still pretty good \u00a9 Getty Images\nGlenn McGrath Australia\nMcGrath's final year as a Test cricketer was dominated by the break he took to be with his wife, Jane, who was recovering from her third bout of cancer, and by the Ashes, where he was below his best but still good enough to take eight more wickets than the best Englishman, Hoggard. His decision to miss the tours of South Africa and Bangladesh meant he approached Australia's one-day missions in Malaysia and at the Champions Trophy with renewed vigour, and he was as unhittable as ever. His one-day economy rate of 3.38 was bettered among regulars only by Pollock, and his Champions Trophy semi-final spell against New Zealand (10-2-22-3) was a reminder of past glories. He laughed off the Dad's Army jibes with a six-for at Brisbane, but concerns over his sore ankle resurfaced when he took none for 107, his worst-ever Test analysis, in the first innings at Adelaide. After that, it was a question of marshalling his resources: he failed to run through England again, but never went for more than 2.66 an over, and he finished his Test career congratulating himself on 563 wickets and - at last - a spot on prediction of a whitewash. The World Cup would be his last hurrah.\n14 ODI: 7 runs @ 7.00; 15 wickets @ 25.93\nMohammad Asif Pakistan\nA failed drug test, for which he was controversially acquitted, overshadowed a year of thrilling achievement. Mohammad Asif was not a typical Pakistan fast bowler - he relied on sharp seam movement and accuracy (12 of his 30 Test wickets were bowled) rather than reverse swing - but, in an age of strapping seamers, he threatened to overshadow them all: he was Harmison with brain, McGrath with nip, Clark with attitude. He bowled Pakistan to a series victory over India with seven wickets at Karachi, and then blew Sri Lanka away at Kandy with startling match figures of 11 for 71. Then, after missing much of the series in England, he returned to win the battle of the egos against Pietersen with contemptuous, knowing ease. When Asif returned to the team to begin 2007 with a flurry of wickets in South Africa, it was possible to see him as a very special talent.\n5 Tests: 6 runs @ 1.20; 30 wickets @ 18.23\n16 ODI: 13 runs @ 6.50; 17 wickets @ 32.23\nMohammad Yousuf Pakistan\nDown to the first two figures of Mohammad Yousuf's batting average, this was a Bradmanesque performance. His Test aggregate of 1,788 was a record in a calendar year, beating Viv Richards's 30-year-old mark of 1,710, while his nine hundreds - five of them 173 or more - beat the previous best of seven. Aside from a blip in his one Test in Sri Lanka, no one could stop him. He averaged 92 against India, 90 in England, and 133 against West Indies, where he hit four centuries in five innings. With a bit more care, he might even have reached 2,000: he was run out or stumped on five occasions. But he worked hard to improve against the short ball and was far more responsible. He was modest with it, complaining after his 192 against West Indies at Lahore that the flatness of pitches around the world had made \"batsmen too dominant\". Bowlers everywhere were inclined to agree.\nMuttiah Muralitharan Sri Lanka - Wisden's Leading Cricketer in the World, 2006\nSouth Africa's beacon \u00a9 Getty Images\nMakhaya Ntini South Africa\nNtini was indefatigable as ever, and it was a good job too. While he took 58 Test wickets - second only to Muralitharan - the 14 other South Africans who bowled in 2006 managed a total of 111. As often as not, it was a oneman show. He took successive ten-wicket hauls, in defeat to Australia at Johannesburg and victory over New Zealand at Centurion, and his relentlessly exacting use of the new ball did much to bring about a captain's-dream strike-rate of 37. His one-day form was not far behind, and his analysis of six for 22 to skittle Australia for 93 at Cape Town was one of the limited overs performances of the year. Ntini's fitness and enthusiasm were South Africa's shining beacon.\nMonty Panesar England\nIt was a measure of Panesar's instant impact on the public that he was celebrated as much for not being selected at Brisbane and Adelaide as he had already become for shackling some of the best players of spin in world cricket. Observers drew easy parallels with his idol Bishan Bedi, another Sikh who bowled left-arm spin for Northamptonshire, and it was true that Panesar was similarly engrossed by his craft. But he is a less adventurous bowler, and the name Derek Underwood cropped up too: not since his retirement in 1982 had England produced such a genuine spin-bowling article. The wicket of Tendulkar on debut at Nagpur provided the first example of his trademark child-in-a-sweetshop celebrations, and five-fors against Sri Lanka and Pakistan led Duncan Fletcher to say there was no better finger-spinner in the world. Reservations about his batting and fielding remained, but there was widespread outrage when Ashley Giles replaced him for the start of the Ashes. Two games later, Panesar was back in, taking five wickets on a heady opening day at Perth, and even earning a promotion to No. 10 on the back of a stroke-filled 16, followed by the role of night-watchman at Sydney. A mauling at the hands of Adam Gilchrist in the second innings at Perth was a reality check, even if it was the first time any batsman had successfully got after him, but a giddy year ended with selection for England's one-day squad in Australia.\n12 Tests: 86 runs @ 10.75; 40 wickets @ 33.15\nKevin Pietersen England\nThere were moments in 2006 when it felt as if the only player who could hold Pietersen back was Pietersen himself. At times, he made even the best look ordinary. A left-handed sweep for six off Muralitharan at Birmingham made him cricket's answer to snooker's Ronnie O'Sullivan - cocksure and ambidextrous - while Warne's decision to bowl wide of leg stump for two hours during his 158 at Adelaide was an admission that the Australians did not know how else to stem the runs. By now Pietersen, singled out ahead of the Ashes by Ponting as the game's next great phenomenon, had become the thread by which England's fate hung. It was stellar stuff, and the only frustration was that the stars did not align more often. His slog to get out after making 135 against Pakistan at Leeds, as well as a doomed attempt to take a single to Ponting at Adelaide, perhaps reflected the dangers of hubris. His unfettered unorthodoxy made him a hit yet again in the one-day arena, and his catching - a liability during the 2005 Ashes - moved into the realms of dependability. But the feeling that he had more to give, heightened by the bizarre decision to bat him at No. 5 for the first seven innings in Australia, never went away, and accusations of selfishness could not be dismissed with complete conviction. It could be lonely, Pietersen discovered Down Under, being a genius.\nVirtually unhittable, in one-dayers \u00a9 AFP\nShaun Pollock South Africa\nPollock had always been a model of consistency, but in 2006 his fortunes fluctuated wildly. The year began badly, when he took one for 164 at Sydney at more than four an over. He was manhandled in the return series, too, but once Australia were out of the way he rediscovered the joys of frugality. In four Tests at home to New Zealand and India, facing Pollock was like being buried alive while moisture dripped on your forehead: he took 13 wickets at an average of 17 and was almost unhittable. And his form in one-day cricket - 32 wickets at 17 with an astonishing economy rate of 2.98 - was peerless.\n14 Tests:8 Tests: 391 runs @ 35.54; 19 wickets @ 40.10\n21 ODI:379 runs @ 29.15; 32 wickets @ 17.34\nRicky Ponting Australia\nThe superlatives ran dry, for this was near perfection. With the bat, Ponting was almost matchless, scoring seven hundreds in his first 14 innings of the year and pulling like a demi-god. As a captain, he rated ten out of ten, which happened to be Australia's Test record. As an individual, he righted what he perceived as the wrong of 2005: Ponting would no longer be remembered as the first Australian captain to lose the Ashes for 18 years, but as the first to preside over an Ashes whitewash for 86. The personal pressure of having to beat England made his relentlessness with the bat all the more astonishing. Twice he took a pair of hundreds in a Test against South Africa, and his exacting standards were reflected in a slow trudge to the Brisbane dressing-room after he had fallen for 196 in the Ashes opener. After his 142 in the next game at Adelaide, his career average topped a vertiginous 60, which was the sign of an all-time great. Steve Waugh called him Australia's best behind Bradman, and few argued. After all, not one Test bowler managed to hit his stumps all year. So it was most unAustralian that his 164 off 105 balls in the manic Johannesburg one-dayer should not produce a win. But for Ponting, 2006 was all about regaining the Ashes. With the blunders of 2005 behind him, his reputation emerged enhanced. Icing on the cake did not come any sweeter.\n10 Tests: 1,333 runs @ 88.86; no wicket for seven\nAshwell Prince South Africa\nTo sum up Prince's 2006 as the year in which he became South Africa's first non-white captain is to give his batting less credit than it deserved. While the captaincy was undoubtedly an honour and a hugely symbolic moment in the country's ongoing battle with its past, it was Prince's elevation to the ranks of middle-order bulwark - he averaged three more than Kallis - that really caught the eye. Warne made life uncomfortable early on, but 119 at Sydney and 93 at Johannesburg, both against Australia, hinted at his gutsy, left-handed application, and after that he hardly failed: a hundred in the victory over India at Durban was the highlight. He was captain, as a stand-in for the injured Smith, for the two-Test trip to Sri Lanka, where - with Kallis missing too - it was an uphill task, despite his own pair of half-centuries. Prince was rarely thrilling to watch but, after a faltering introduction to international cricket in 2002, the feeling this time was that he was here to stay.\n11 Tests: 905 runs @ 47.63; 1 wicket @ 9.00\nThe world's best wicketkeeper-batsman? \u00a9 AFP\nKumar Sangakkara Sri Lanka\nWith Gilchrist on the wane, Sangakkara was arguably the world's premier batsman-wicketkeeper. He was irrefutably the most consistent. Nobody scored more than his 2,609 runs in all internationals, or reached 50 as often (21 times in 55 innings). The highlight, inevitably, was a career-best 287 against South Africa in Colombo, when he and Jayawardene added a worldrecord 624. But arguably two innings in New Zealand at the end of the year were better: an unbeaten 100 out of 170 at Christchurch, and a staggeringly accomplished 156 not out in a total of 268 at Wellington a week later to set up a series-levelling win.\n11 Tests: 1,242 runs @ 69.00; 18 catches as keeper, 2 stumpings\n36 ODI: 1,333 runs @ 44.43; 37 catches, 12 stumpings\nSreesanth India\nCompetition for places in the Indian fast-bowling pantheon has never been particularly fierce, but Sreesanth showed enough promise to suggest that, one day, he might take a seat alongside Kapil Dev and Javagal Srinath. In his first year as a Test player his control, interrogatory seam movement and chippy attitude troubled many a good batsman: he inflicted a pair on Chris Gayle in the series decider in Jamaica, and then took eight for 99 during an even more improbable victory, over South Africa at Johannesburg. India had the bad cop of their new bowling pair; if they found a good cop to go with him they could be really dangerous.\nAndrew Strauss England\nWith both Vaughan and, for much of the time, Trescothick absent, Strauss became the elder statesman of England's batting line-up. Yet, though he passed 1,000 Test runs for the first time, it was not an especially successful year. The high point came against Pakistan, when Strauss captained England to a forfeit-assisted 3-0 victory and scored 444 runs at 63, but in ten other Tests he averaged just 31. He lost the captaincy to the fit-again Flintoff for the Ashes, and then endured a lost series: Strauss's top score in five Tests was just 50, even though he looked in excellent nick throughout. Three umpiring howlers didn't help, but nor did a penchant for absent-mindedness that had surfaced in India earlier in the year. He redeemed that series with an outstanding 128 in the last-Test victory at Mumbai, but overall Strauss was dismissed between 11 and 48 in 17 of his 26 innings. It was a frustrating blot on an otherwise immaculate copybook.\nAustralia's biffer \u00a9 Getty Images\nAndrew Symonds Australia\nThe wild thing of Australian cricket finally found deliverance. Nobody seemed convinced that Symonds could cut it at Test level, least of all the man himself. But against England at Melbourne, he changed the habit of a lifetime and started exercising shot selection, moving from a maiden Test century to a relatively sober 156. There had been no such doubts about Symonds's worth at one-day level. He was the complete package: a devastating biffer - who hit an epic 151 in the VB Series against Sri Lanka - a versatile and underestimated bowler, and a fielder of frightening athleticism and intensity.\nJerome Taylor West Indies\nWest Indies had been holding out for a fast-bowling hero throughout this millennium, and Taylor, returning after more than two years' absence, became the man most likely. Unlike his peers, he seemed more interested in swing than bling, and his diligent adherence to the basics, as well as the ability to hoop the ball at the last moment, set him apart. There was a famous hat-trick against Australia in the Champions Trophy, where he was the top wicket-taker, nine wickets against India on a dicey Sabina Park pitch and, most admirably of all, some sustained excellence during a highscoring series in Pakistan.\nSachin Tendulkar India\nTendulkar's mortality was not so much intimated as screamed. Whether it was because of age or rust after a succession of injuries was a moot point; that he was not the player of old was irrefutable. He made just one halfcentury in eight Tests, and was booed by the crowd during an Indian-record 132nd Test appearance, against England at his home ground, Mumbai. He could still work the hairs on the back of the neck like nobody else, but those moments were few and further between. Even so, nobody in their right mind looked forward to bowling to him.\n700 and out \u00a9 Getty Images\nShane Warne Australia\nIt was no great surprise that Warne ended his Test career in magnificent fashion, with an Ashes whitewash and a 700th Test wicket in front of his home crowd at the MCG. With his powers waning ever so slightly, Warne had spent much of the year in the mode of rogue psychiatrist - inviting opponents on to his couch and persecuting them, encouraging them to torture themselves with imaginary demons. Even besieged umpires, who had to contend with incessant appeals of wildly varying credibility, could not escape his spell. Overall, his wickets cost more than 30 each for the first time since 2001 but, as always, Warne won the really big points: his legendary lastday performance at Adelaide, when his presence numbed England into a fatal strokelessness, turned a tight Ashes series into a walkover. His six for 86 on the final day at Durban, when he took Australia to a thrilling againstthe- clock victory, was almost as good. The coup de gr\u00e2ce came on the first day of his beloved Boxing Day Test, when he ran through England with five for 39, including his 700th wicket (Strauss). A week later, he walked into retirement, putting a lump in the throats of even those Englishmen whose dreams he had wrecked for a decade and a half. Cricket would never see his like again.\nDaniel Vettori New Zealand\nIf finger-spin was a dying art, then Vettori was pretty good at mouth-to-mouth. And wicket-to-wicket. His accurate, unrelenting left-arm spin was a real threat on wearing pitches: his strike-rate for the year halved to 49 in the second innings, and he took the second seven-for of his Test career against Sri Lanka at Wellington. He was also the highest-ranked spinner in the ICC's one-day rankings. That was not all he was good for: there was no more reliable lower-order batsman around, and Vettori stood and delivered four fifties in 11 Test innings. In a mixed year for New Zealand, he was a reassuring constant.\nYounis Khan Pakistan\nThe achievements of the run-machine Mohammad Yousuf dwarfed allcomers, but Younis Khan too was robotically productive: he averaged over 50 in Tests for the third year in a row. He began the year explosively, with 199 and 194 against India - he now averaged 106 against them in Tests - before leading Pakistan to a famous series victory over them in the final Test. A glorious 173 at Leeds confirmed his all-weather credentials, and his success at No. 3 was even more impressive given the fragility of Pakistan's ever-changing opening partnership. The only blemish came off the field, when Younis accepted the captaincy, resigned and then took it again in a farcical build-up to the Champions Trophy. On the field, there was no such indecision.\n11 Tests: 1,179 runs @ 65.50; no wicket for five\n20 ODI: 615 runs @ 38.43; no wicket for two\n\u00a9 Wisden Cricketer's Almanack",

        "title": "End of ageing and cancer? Scientists unveil structure of the 'immortality' enzyme telomerase \u2014 E Squared Research, Inc.",
        "raw_content": "Making a drug is like trying to pick a lock at the molecular level. There are two ways in which you can proceed. You can try thousands of different keys at random, hopefully finding one that fits. The pharmaceutical industry does this all the time \u2013 sometimes screening hundreds of thousands of compounds to see if they interact with a certain enzyme or protein. But unfortunately it\u2019s not always efficient \u2013 there are more drug molecule shapes than seconds have passed since the beginning of the universe.\nAlternatively, like a safe cracker, you can x-ray the lock you want to open and work out the probable shape of the key from the pictures you get. This is much more effective for discovering drugs, as you can use computer models to identify promising compounds before researchers go into the lab to find the best one. Now a study, published in Nature, presents detailed images of a crucial anti-ageing enzyme known as telomerase \u2013 raising hopes that we can soon slow ageing and cure cancer.\nEvery organism packages its DNA into chromosomes. In simple bacteria like E. coli this is a single small circle. More complex organisms have far more DNA and multiple linear chromosomes (22 pairs plus sex chromosomes). These probably appeared because they provided an evolutionary advantage, but they also come with a downside.\nAt the end of each chromosome is a protective cap called a telomere . However, most human cells can\u2019t copy them \u2013 meaning that every time they divide, their telomeres become shorter. When telomeres become too short, the cell enters a toxic state called \u201csenescence\u201d. If these senescent cells are not cleared by the immune system, they begin to compromise the function of the tissues in which they reside. For millennia, humans have perceived this gradual compromise in tissue function over time without understanding what caused it. We simply called it ageing.\nEnter telomerase, a specialised telomere repair enzyme in two parts \u2013 able to add DNA to the chromosome tips. The first part is a protein called TERT that does the copying. The second component is called TR, a small piece of RNA which acts as a template. Together, these form telomerase, which trundles up and down on the ends of chromosomes, copying the template. At the bottom, a human telomere is roughly 3,000 copies of the DNA sequence \u201cTTAGGG\u201d \u2013 laid down and maintained by telomerase. But sadly, production of TERT is repressed in human tissues with the exception of sperm, eggs and some immune cells.\nAgeing versus cancer\nOrganisms regulate their telomere maintenance in this way because they are walking a biological tightrope. On the one hand, they need to replace the cells they lose in the course of their ordinary daily lives by cell division. However, any cell with an unlimited capacity to divide is the seed of a tumour. And it turns out that the majority of human cancers have active telomerase and shorter telomeres than the cells surrounding them.\nThis indicates that the cell from which they came divided as normal but then picked up a mutation which turned TERT back on. Cancer and ageing are flip sides of the same coin and telomerase, by and large, is doing the flipping. Inhibit telomerase, and you have a treatment for cancer, activate it and you prevent senescence. That, at least, is the theory.\nThe researchers behind the new study were not just able to obtain the structure of a proportion of the enzyme, but of the entire molecule as it was working. This was a tour de force involving the use of cryo-electron microscopy \u2013 a technique using a beam of electrons (rather than light) to take thousands of detailed images of individual molecules from different angles and combine them computationally.\nPrior to the development of this method, for which scientists won the Nobel Prize last year, it was necessary to crystallise proteins to image them. This typically requires thousands of attempts and many years of trying, if it works at all.\nElixir of youth?\nTERT itself is a large molecule and although it has shown to lengthen lifespan when introduced into normal mice using gene therapy this is technically challenging and fraught with difficulties. Drugs that can turn on the enzyme that produces it are far better, easier to deliver and cheaper to make.\nWe already know of a few compounds to inhibit and activate telomerase \u2013 discovered through the cumbersome process of randomly screening for drugs. Sadly, they are not very efficient.\nSome of the most provocative studies involve the compound TA-65 (Cycloastragenol) \u2013 a natural product which lengthens telomeres experimentally and has been claimed to show benefit in early stage macular degeneration (vision loss). As a result, TA65 has been sold over the internet and has prompted at least one (subsequently dismissed) lawsuit over claims that it caused cancer in a user. This sad story illustrates an important public health message best summarised simply as \u201cdon\u2019t try this at home, folks\u201d.\nThe telomerase inhibitors we know of so far, however, have genuine clinical benefit in various cancers, particularly in combination with other drugs. However, the doses required are relatively high.\nThe new study is extremely promising because, by knowing the structure of telomerase, we can use computer models to identify the most promising activators and inhibitors and then test them to find which ones are most effective. This is a much quicker process than randomly trying different molecules to see if they work.\nSo how far could could we go? In terms of cancer, it is hard to tell. The body can easily become resistant to cancer drugs, including telomerase inhibitors. Prospects for slowing ageing where there is not cancer are somewhat easier to estimate. In mice, deleting senescent cells or dosing with telomerase (gene therapy) both give increases in lifespan of the order of 20% \u2013 despite being inefficient techniques. It may be that at some point other ageing mechanisms, such as the accumulation of damaged proteins, start to come into play.\nBut if we did manage to stop the kind of ageing caused by senescent cells using telomerase activation, we could start devoting all our efforts into tackling these additional ageing processes. There\u2019s every reason to be optimistic that we may soon live much longer, healthier lives than we do today.\nDec 5 Nanoparticles Hunt Down, Kill Endometrial Cancer\nJan 19 Scientists Develop Single Blood Test That Detects Eight Common Cancers",

        "raw_content": "Creating order out of the chaos of Mad Max: Fury Road\nAn informative piece by Vashi Nedomansky on the craft that went into giving the audience a clear spatial orientation of what was happening where amidst the furious action sequences in Mad Max: Fury Road.\nOne of the many reasons MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is so successful as an action film is the editing style. By using \u201cEye Trace\u201d and \u201cCrosshair Framing\u201d techniques during the shooting, the editor could keep the important visual information vital in one spot\u2026the Center of the Frame. Because almost every shot was center framed, comprehending the action requires no hunting of each new shot for the point of interest. The viewer doesn\u2019t need 3 or 4 frames to figure out where to look. It\u2019s like watching an old hand-drawn flip book whiz by. The focus is always in the same spot!\nThis was an edict passed down directly from director George Miller. Over the walkie talkies during every scene he could heard saying \u201cPut the cross hairs on her nose! Put the cross hairs on the gun!\u201d This was to protect the footage for editorial and to ensure that the entire high speed film would be easily digestible with both eyes and brain. Every new shot that slammed onto the screen must occupy the same space as the previous shot. This is by no means a new technique, but by shooting the entire film in this way, Margaret Sixel could amplify and accelerate scenes, cut as fast as possible with the confident knowledge that the visual information would be understood.\nGreat video: succinct, clear.\nIt's an under-appreciated skill, giving the audience a clear sense of arrangement amidst chaotic action, especially when so many directors just resort to lazy chaos cinema action filmmaking technique. Most filmgoers probably didn't even notice the center framing during Mad Max, but they likely felt the spatial coherence in a visceral sense.\nMost photographers have probably heard of the rule of thirds, but here is one time it made sense to go away from it. Knowing when to break rules is one sign of mastery.\nThis is also telling:\nAs they prepared to shoot the film, George Miller had no script. He did have over 3500 storyboards created by Mark Sexton. The Studio of course asked for a script and George said there wasn\u2019t one. He offered the 3500 storyboards as it had taken him more than 10 years to get the story mapped out with this precision. The Studio said they NEED a script. George apparently had one cranked out but said it was \u201cnot good\u201d. It didn\u2019t have to be. He already knew how the whole film would look and feel. Visually center framed and barreling right at the audience.\nI've heard a few people say they found the movie underwhelming after all the hype. I suspect many of them found the story too lean, but that's not so surprising for a post-apocalyptic allegory, and even less surprising given that Miller was working not off a script but storyboards.\nI enjoyed the muscular simplicity of it all. A Google Maps route of the movie would show Imperator Furiosa driving straight out and then making a sharp left turn, and then driving back on the same route.\nWhen Max tells Furiosa that \u201cout there is nothing but salt,\u201d he's speaking literally, but he's also saying that humanity's best chance for survival is with everyone working together, and perhaps only with women at the helm. That survival is also meant literally since a group of women living together wouldn't be able to procreate and continue the human race (Nux was along for the ride, I suppose, but he seemed sick and approaching death even as the movie began).\nFilmmaking craft is often under-appreciated in action movies, so here's a toast to Miller, Searle, Sixel, and the whole crew.\nmovies, cinematography, directing, editing, filmmaking",

A day of massive discounts and one-off deals kicks off the Christmas shopping period for many consumers.\nAccording to research carried out by Finder, consumers plan to spend an estimated \u00a37 billion on Black Friday and Cyber Monday purchases this year alone. 62% of shoppers plan to benefit from these sales, which is up from last year\u2019s 36%.\nThis year, consumers plan to spend an estimated \u00a3220 on average each over the weekend, which is a decrease on last year\u2019s \u00a3304. Although the average spend per person has decreased, more people are planning to participate, meaning the total estimated spend will be up from last year\u2019s \u00a34.5 billion to \u00a37 billion.\nWhat does this mean to small businesses? PwC found that in 2017, more than three-quarters of UK retailers participated in some kind of promotional activity during the Black Friday period. Debenhams Chief Executive, Sergio Bucher, told the BBC that \u201cdespite heavy discounting, companies can still make a profit during Black Friday\u201d, adding \u201cit is one of our biggest days of the year\u201d.\nAs well as seeing a surge in profits, the increase in consumer spending also supports small businesses in strengthening brand awareness, enabling them to reach new markets and audiences, supporting business growth and therefore the overall wealth of the economy.\nSmall businesses are also benefiting from Black Friday in other ways this year. It is expected that 1.3 million UK SMEs intend to take advantage of the savings and invest in new technology to support their business. The economy could see a \u00a3100bn boost should more businesses take advantage of innovation such as mobile technology and e-purchasing; read more in our SME productivity article.\nBlack Friday 2018 is already off to a strong start with UK online sales up 78% on last year\u2019s figures by 7 am.",

In many ways, L.A. lived up to its billing as a freer, more tolerant place. In many more ways, it didn't. Housing covenants (Welcome to the neighborhood! If you should later decide to sell your home to a black family, we'll kill your dog and put a bomb in your car!) were viciously enforced here. Employment discrimination was rampant, and black workers had few allies in government, industry, or the unions.\nThe war: Changed the whole economic and political climate in Southern California, creating an opportunity to sweep aside entrenched and rampant racism. Results, of course, are mixed to this day.\nThe scope: Sides introduces us to the editors of local black newspapers, gives a great history of Compton, looks into the prevailing economic and social conditions at the time of the Watts riots, follows the career of Tom Bradley, breaks down black employment opportunities along gender lines, and really delves into African Americans' experience with the Union movement.

        "raw_content": "by Jitesh Pillaai | February 11, 2013, 2:31 PM IST\nIt was nice to know that singer Bombay Jayashri was nominated in the best original song category for her song Pi\u2019s lullaby, along with Mychael Danna. Jayashri both sang and wrote the song and let\u2019s hope this versatile and talented singer brings home the trophy. She\u2019s a much sought after singer down South both in playback and classical circles. She had not sung much in Hindi films, though one remembers her Zara zara number from Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein. She won a Filmfare Award for the song Vaseegara from Minnale, the Tamil original of Rehna... This recognition adds another plume to her multi-feathered cap and we wish her all the luck for the big night.\nLife Of Pi is one of the most engaging films to have come out this year and it was no surprise that it got 11 nominations. Steven Spielberg\u2019s biopic, Lincoln, with 12, leads the race and given the political history of the Oscars, it looks to be the year of Lincoln. Oscar tends to throw a few curve balls each year and this year\u2019s surprise was the exclusion of Kathryn Bigelow in the Best Director\u2019s category. The inclusion of her film Zero Dark Thirty in the Best Picture category made her absence more profound. ZDT is a harrowing account for the search of Bin Laden and its attitude towards torture is surely going to be a reference point in American editorials for years to come.\nHeartthrob Bradley Cooper, made famous in such films as The Hangover and The A Team wins his first Academy Award nomination in the Best Actor category for Silver Linings Playbook. The \u2018sexiest man alive\u2019 (according to a 2011 poll) has chosen a wrong time to display histrionics as the field is filled with such heavyweights as Daniel Day Lewis for Lincoln, Hugh Jackman for Les Miserables and Denzel Washington for Flight.\nWhile such sweethearts as Naomi Watts for The Impossible and Jennifer Lawrence for Silver Linings Playbook compete in the Best Actress category, my heart goes out to French actress Emmanuelle Riva, who has been nominated for her scintillating performance for Amour. At 85, she\u2019s the oldest actress to be nominated for an Oscar. One remembers her from the 1959 French New Wave film Hiroshima Mon Amour and it\u2019s a tribute to her talent that she continues to find work even today.\nThe Best Supporting Actor and Actress category is filled with past nominees and winners. So you have the likes of Philip Seymour Hoffman (The Master), Alan Arkin (Argo), Robert De Niro (Silver Linings Playbook), Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained) and Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln) battling it out for the honours while Sally Fields (Lincoln), Helen Hunt (The Sessions) and Anne Hathaway (Les Miserables) look like prime candidates in the female arena.\nI have promised myself that I\u2019ll watch every Oscar nominated film as soon as the Filmfare Award madness is over. Fingers crossed, I\u2019m looking forward for the big day, as it is one award I can sit back and enjoy without heartaches and heartburns...",

        "raw_content": "Forgive me if I ramble tonight. Mia went down like a dream for the first time in a long while, so Tom and I finally got a chance to open up that bottle of champagne that we wanted to consume on our anniversary. And I've gotta say, having spent over three years either breastfeeding or pregnant has definitely turned me into a huge lightweight when it comes to alcoholic beverages.\nMy ramblings are of the happy sort, however. Because I am now on day two of Multiple Mia Naps (in her crib and not on my chest) and it is so blessedly wonderful.\nI almost feel guilty saying it. I do so love my cuddles with her. I do so wish to wring every single second I have out of this very brief, teeny-tiny stage she's in. However, the past few weeks have been rough. I haven't been able to keep up with housework, I've barely been able to move. I certainly haven't been able to eat in comfort or peace.\nMost of all, however, I've missed my other babies, and I didn't even realize how much until now.\nIn the beginning, I had some sort of weird switch turned on, where my focus was zeroed in on The Newborn, and it took great mental effort to expand it outward. As time went on, my interest was more fairly applied, however Mia still demanded a great deal of my attention in an an urgent, immediate way. My more independent older children often had to wait, or consent to less than their fair share. I guess I've been mostly too busy to notice, because while I've felt a bit of guilt about it on some level, based on the knowledge that it was happening, it didn't sting me in the way that it does now, reflecting on how things have been.\nLast night, I had the freedom of motion to take each older child in turn and spin them in circles in the air. Heavenly peals of laughter ensued.\nToday, I had two hands to scoop up my little boy and shower his handsome face with kisses, for no reason at all. The more I did it, the more I realized just how much I had missed him.\nThis evening, when Abby's cries rang out from downstairs as I closed the door to my bedroom on Mia's last nap of the day, I was unburdened to rush to her aid, gather her in my arms and position her squarely in my lap for an uninterrupted, unshared session of comforting. It's incredible to me how well she still fits there.\nSuddenly, as though the emotions were new (they are not, but have been sadly buried in all of the recent insanity), I am absolutely flooded with the intense love that I feel for all of my children. I am recommitted now to making sure that each of them gets some time each day to be reminded of it.\nAnd I am wishing, not for the first time, that there were more than one of me to go around to do it.\nLabels: big changes, Mommy guilt\nbig changes|Mommy guilt|",

        "title": "Dr. Burt Clark: Fire Service History Maker \u2013 Fire & EMS Leader Pro",
        "raw_content": "Dr. Burt Clark: Fire Service History Maker\nA while ago I wrote a post on who were some of the people who\u2019ve had a positive influence on my fire service career. One of those people is\nDr. Burt Clark, Fire Officer\nDr. Burton Clark who recently retired from his position on the staff at the National Fire Academy, where among many roles, he was a co-founder and Co-chair for the Executive Fire Officer Program, with Charles \u201cChuck\u201d Burkell (Also recently retired).\nToday, I learned that Dr. Clark had been recognized as a History Maker by the National Fire Heritage Center.\nThe \u201cHistory Makers\u201d feature of the NFHC News-letter will profile living members of the fire protection community who have made history by making a difference.\nMany of us first became familiar with Dr. Clark and his \u201cbig thinking\u201d approach to fire service issues when he was among the first fire service leaders on this firefighter safety issue: Firefighter \u201cMayday\u201d. Dr. Clark was the first to bring awareness to the issue by asking the tough questions:\nWhat constitutes a \u201cMayday\u201d situation? We were all taught to call for help if we got in trouble, but nobody had ever \u201cdefined\u201d what trouble looked like? Dr. Clark showed us the way.\nWhy don\u2019t firefighters call \u201cMayday\u201d? Dr. Clark helped us see that it was a combination of the above (not recognizing what being in trouble meant) and our overriding macho attitude (tough firefighters don\u2019t need anybody\u2019s help).\nHow should a firefighter declare \u201cMayday\u201d and how should the Incident Commander respond to a \u201cMayday\u201d declaration?\nSpeaker and writer on firefighter health and safety issues.\nThanks to Dr. Clark\u2019s advocacy, a great many departments now have training and policies and procedures that address the questions and that provide answers to their members. More importantly, we\u2019ve started to break down the \u201cdon\u2019t call for help, it\u2019s a sign of weakness\u201d mindset in the fire service (Though we still have work to be done).\nThat might have been a \u201ccareer milestone\u201d for most people, but not Dr. Clark. He next \u201ctook up the flag\u201d on the issue of firefighters dying in vehicle crashes because they weren\u2019t wearing their seatbelt. Once again, he took the lead in showing us that there was a problem and that our inaction was the biggest contributing factor in these preventable firefighter deaths and injuries.\nDr. Clark was particularly moved by the death of Firefighter Christopher Brian Hunton. Firefighter Hunton was 27-years-old and a member of the Amarillo (Texas) Fire Department for only one year when he fell out of his fire truck because he was not wearing his seatbelt. Firefighter Hunton succumbed to his injuries two days later.\nFirefighter Hunton\u2019s story motivated Dr. Clark to initiate another campaign to change a firefighter safety behavior: everyone should be seated and belted before the apparatus moves. The cornerstone of this effort was his development of the National Fire Service Seat Belt Pledge:\n\u201cI pledge to wear my seat belt whenever I am riding in a Fire Department vehicle. I further pledge to insure that all my brother and sister firefighters riding with me wear their seat belts. I am making this pledge willingly; to honor Brian Hunton, my brother firefighter, because wearing seat belts is the right thing to do.\u201d\nSurely, that would be enough for one firefighter\u2019s career, right? Not if you\u2019re Dr. Burt Clark. Today he continues the \u201cnext big thing\u201d for which he\u2019s been a leading proponent: getting firefighters and their leaders to see how our culture encourages risky behaviors that too frequently result in preventable deaths and injuries. Dr. Clark points out, \u201c\u2026that culture is really like the DNA of an organization\u2014it\u2019s the artifacts, beliefs and underlying assumptions that make up who we are and what we do\u2026\u201d\nHe continues to have a positive influence on changing our culture through his writings and public speaking engagements, like his \u201cGene\nTherapy\u201d for the Fire Service\u201d at FRI in 2012.\nClark underscores that many of the LODDs he has studied\u2014and shared in the class\u2014are not the fault of the individuals, or even necessarily the fire service. The \u201cgenes\u201d that the fire service now carries are the result of hundreds of years of decisions about how to approach fire protection. They started with Ben Franklin, and they remain largely unchanged today.\nClark argues that changing fire service culture requires changing society itself, getting the average citizen to understand that \u201cfire protection\u201d doesn\u2019t just mean firefighters rushing up in engines and trucks wearing lots of gear; it\u2019s working smoke alarms, family escape plans, residential and commercial sprinklers. (Shannon Pieper, \u201cGene Therapy\u201d for the Fire Service, www.firefighternation.com)\nI know that I became a better firefighter and officer because I learned who Dr. Burt Clark was and listened to what he was saying. More importantly, I did everything that I could to put his words into my actions and the actions of those that I worked with. Congratulations, Dr. Clark, on your latest accolade and best wishes for continued success in 2014 and for many years to come!\nBurt Clark fire service culture fire service leaders Firefighter Mayday National Fire Heritage Center National Seatbelt Use Pledge role models\t2014-06-16\nPrevious: Let\u2019s Really Starting \u201cThinking Outside the Box\u201d for Fire Protection in the USA\nNext: 5 Ways McDonald\u2019s Can Help Improve Your Department",

        "raw_content": "5 Advocacy Wins We Accomplished Together In 2017\nWhile 2017 was a challenging and politically divisive year, United Ways, partners and supporters stepped up to advocate for the communities we serve and managed to accomplish several policy wins to improve opportunity for all.\nWe would like to thank the United Way network for all the ways you advocated this year \u2013 Capitol Hill Days, letters to Congress, targeted outreach, site visits, social media and more. It made the difference. We will be calling on you to continue the fight in 2018 \u2013 particularly on tax reform and possible cuts to entitlement programs.\nBut, for now, we thank you for standing up and giving a voice to those we serve.\nHere are just a few things we accomplished, with your help, this year:\n1. Restored funding for the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA):\nThis summer, the House Financial Services Subcommittee voted to cut the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program (VITA) by 50% (from $15 million to $7.5 million) in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 appropriations bill. Fortunately, due to targeted outreach to members of Congress on the Appropriations Committee, local United Ways and supporters communicated the value of this critical program and worked with several congressional offices to restore funding to $15 million for VITA in a technical fix to the bill. The amended bill was passed by the full Appropriations Committee on Thursday, July 13th.\n2. Met with nearly 300 members of Congress and sent over 9,500 letters to Capitol Hill:\nThis year, the United Way network met with and communicated the organization\u2019s priorities to hundreds of members of Congress. Facing threats to the charitable deduction, budget cuts to safety net programs, and political uncertainty on health reform, United Way CEOs, staff and volunteers stormed Capitol Hill, met with members in district offices, and sent thousands of letters to Congress to fight for the health, education and financial stability of the communities we serve.\n3. Fought for robust funding for Health, Education and Financial Stability:\nGiven the Administration\u2019s proposed budget cuts this year and the current political environment, we expected an uphill battle to maintain funding for health, education, and financial stability programs. Fortunately, the United Way network and supporters rallied support for funding for critical community services and programs in the FY 2017 and FY 2018 appropriations bills. The FY 2017 appropriations bill, which funded the federal government through September 2017, was largely a success for United Way priorities, allocating level funding for programs such as EFSP, VITA, Head Start, CCDBG, and the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program.\nThe FY 2018 appropriations bill is still being debated in Congress. While we are gearing up for a fight, we secured several appropriations wins this year. The United Way network surpassed our goal to send 2,018 letters to Congress this year on the FY 2018 appropriations bill, for a total of 2,330 letters overall. What\u2019s more, United Ways sent over 600 letters to Congress in one day in advance of an important subcommittee mark-up.\n4. Launched the first-ever Advocacy Week of Action:\nDuring August Recess, the United Way network and supporters around the country participated in a social media campaign to raise awareness about United Way\u2019s top priorities. The week-long campaign, held on August 21-25, aimed to increase congressional and public support for United Way\u2019s priorities in health, education and financial stability. As a result of this effort, 241 unique Twitter accounts contributed to the digital Advocacy Week of Action, garnering over 1.9 million social media impressions on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. In addition, 50 United Way CEOs in the most influential congressional districts participated in a special policy call to strategize about communicating with their members of Congress during the August Recess.\n5. Protected critical health programs from funding cuts and structural changes:\nThrough call-in days, action alerts, sign-on letters and digital advocacy campaigns, the United Way Health Advocacy Cohort coordinated grasstops and grassroots advocacy in support of the network\u2019s health priorities. The Cohort now has over 95 local and state United Ways actively engaged in health policy-advocacy efforts. Despite attempts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, United Ways successfully advocated to ensure that these attempts did not result in a reduction of coverage for working Americans. In addition, United Ways worked to protect Medicaid from structural changes that could potentially have devastating consequences for state budgets, and healthcare coverage, and access for vulnerable populations.\nBy Sarah Yergeau\nPosted in 10-Year, basic needs, Blog, education, financial stability, health, place matters, Public Policy, Reading Room, Success Stories, Women's Leadership Council, Young Leaders UnitedTagged advocacy, health, healthcare, policy, public, VITA, washington",

        "raw_content": "Prophets \u2014 New Testament and Old Testament (There\u2019s a Difference)\nBeware of Authoritarian Prophets\nThere are misunderstandings regarding the gift of the prophet in the church; and false teachings as well. For instance, I\u2019ve heard it taught that when a prophet prophesies over a believer the believer is obligated to obey the prophecy to the letter and that church leaders are to hold him or her accountable to it. For instance, if the believer feels she wants to leave the church, for whatever reason, but is informed that she must stay because it was prophesied that she belonged to that church. Or if the believer intends on going to college or start a career but he\u2019s told he can\u2019t because the prophet prophesied that he was to be a missionary to Africa (or whatever). Absurd, you say? It\u2019s been known to happen, typically in churches that adopt an authoritarian spirit.\nThis is obviously a form of bondage. It\u2019s using the gift of prophecy for the purpose of manipulating people. Manipulation like this is condemned in the New Testament. It\u2019s a form of authoritarian abuse where the prophet\u2019s words are viewed as the spoken Word of God to which the believer cannot disagree.\nBefore I say anything else, I want to stress what a wonderful gift prophecy is to the church. Prophecies are very encouraging and are able to touch believers in that specific area where they need ministered. For example, Acts 15:32 says, \u201cJudas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers.\u201d This is the purpose of the prophetic gift in the church and reveals why it is so necessary \u2013 it encourages and strengthens believers. The original Greek word for \u2018encourage\u2019 in this passage means \u201cto cause to move forward.\u201d In other words, a prophetic word will inspire believers and provoke them to go forward and fulfill God\u2019s call on their lives. Have you ever been in the spiritual doldrums where you\u2019re not necessarily walking in sin, but you just seem to lack that spiritual drive and passion for the Lord and your calling? The gift of prophecy has the ability to wake believers from such doldrums and spark them onward! It\u2019s an awesome gift and a needed gift. As such, the office of the prophet should be valued and esteemed in the church. Unfortunately, too many churches and sects are ignorant of it or, for various reasons, the gift lies dormant.\nWhile the word of prophecy is important and necessary in the church this doesn\u2019t condone the abuse of it where people are made to feel like they\u2019re in bondage to a prophetic word that may be off or even completely wrong. Nor does it condone the dictatorial antics of prophets who think their prophecies are the Word of God which must be blindly accepted and obeyed to the letter.\nConfusing New Testament Prophets with Old Testament Prophets\nThe reason such abuse exists is because believers are largely ignorant of the gift of prophecy in the New Testament era. They confuse the office of the Old Testament prophet with that of the New Testament prophet, which shouldn\u2019t be done because they\u2019re very different. In the Old Testament, what the prophet said was equal to the Word of the LORD and kings made extremely important decisions at their word, like going to war. The primary purpose of the Old Testament prophet was to lead and guide Israel through the Word of the LORD and, in fact, a lot of their words became Holy Scripture, which we know today as the Old Testament.\nFor this reason, the words of a prophet had to be 100% accurate. If their words were proven to be false, they were to no longer be regarded as prophets and, in fact, were to be put to death (see Deuteronomy 18:20-22). If an Old Testament prophet missed it just once, they were done. This, of course, didn\u2019t happen in cases where the king and other leaders were corrupt and actually wanted false prophets to comfort them with lies, which occurred all too often in Israel and Judah.\nJesus Christ was the last person to operate in the anointing of an Old Testament prophet (see Hebrews 1:1-2) and, in fact, he was The Prophet that the Hebrews were waiting for almost 1500 years (see Deuteronomy 18:15, John 6:14 & 7:40).\nThe New Testament prophet is different. The gift of prophecy was not given to the body of Christ for the purpose of leading and guiding God\u2019s people, as was the case in the Old Testament, because believers are born-again spiritually and have the Holy Spirit within them for this very purpose. As Jesus said, \u201cBut when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come\u201d (John16:13). Since it\u2019s the Holy Spirit\u2019s job to guide believers in the New Testament era, we don\u2019t need the gift of prophecy for this function. So when a prophet prophesies over you and says you\u2019re to do this or that or go here or there, don\u2019t receive it unless the Spirit has already been leading you in this direction. In other words, prophecies in the New Testament are to confirm what the Holy Spirit has already been leading you to do. You could say it\u2019s an external source to confirm or compliment the believer\u2019s internal source of direction from God. I suppose it\u2019s possible that the order could be reversed sometimes, particularly in cases where the believer isn\u2019t sensitive to the moving of the Spirit, but both external and internal should match up.\nThere may be times, of course, when this is somewhat inapplicable because the prophet may warn you of a forthcoming negative situation, like a job loss. The purpose of this type of prophecy is to prepare you and encourage you to get through the negative situation. This was the function of Agabus\u2019 prophecy to Paul when he warned him of the severe persecutions he was going to face in Jerusalem, which we\u2019ll look at momentarily. With these types of prophecies, if the event doesn\u2019t come to pass then the prophet obviously missed it and I\u2019d be a little leery the next time he or she gives you such a word.\nWhy am I bringing all this up? Because in the New Testament era you are not in bondage to the words of some prophet who likes to throw his or her weight around. You\u2019re to be led and guided by the Holy Spirit, not a prophet. So if some prophet prophesies over you and it doesn\u2019t bear witness with your spirit, throw it out! Never allow yourself to be manipulated into to doing something you don\u2019t have a peace from God about doing!\nJudging Prophecies in the New Testament Era\nI want to prove to you beyond any shadow of doubt that you are not obligated to accept any prophecy spoken over you that you don\u2019t have a peace about in your spirit. In fact, the New Testament repeatedly instructs believers to judge prophecies before embracing them.\nLet\u2019s look at three such passages, starting with:\nAs you can see, the topic is false prophets and their false prophesies, which is why he encourages believers to \u201ctest the spirits,\u201d which means to try or examine the prophecy. If you have to test the prophecy then this means there\u2019s the possibility that it might be wrong.\nHow do you test prophecies? (1.) By the Word of God, and (2.) by the leading of the Holy Spirit in your spirit. If a prophet says to a married woman, \u201cYou are to attend to my sexual needs\u201d it can be thrown out as a false prophecy because it violates the morality of the bible; in fact, the \u201cprophet\u201d himself should no longer be considered a prophet since his \u201cfruit\u201d has exposed him (see Matthew 7:15-23). If a prophet tells you to quit your job in order to do such and such for the church and you don\u2019t have a peace about it then don\u2019t accept it. My wife, Carol, was at a church were someone told her that she was to do secretarial work for the church, even though they already had a secretary who didn\u2019t work outside the church. This was to free-up the secretary to concentrate more on worship, etc. Carol rejected this \u201cword from the Lord\u201d right away because she already had her hands full with a full time job as a general manager. More importantly, she didn\u2019t feel any moving by the Spirit to do secretarial work in her spare time. None. The woman who gave this word was a sincere woman of God, but she missed it on this occasion, pure and simple.\nLet\u2019s look at another passage:\nBe joyful always; (17) pray continually; (18) give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God\u2019s will for you in Christ Jesus.\n(19) Do not put out the Spirit\u2019s fire; (20) do not treat prophecies with contempt. (21) Test everything. Hold on to the good.\nThe reason I include verses 16-18 in this quote is to show that Paul was referring to all believers in Thessalonica and, as such, his words apply to all believers today.\nWith that understanding, he says that we are not to treat prophecies with contempt, meaning we should never look down on the gift of prophecy. Why would a believer be tempted to look down on prophesying? Because they\u2019re not always 100% correct. You heard me. They\u2019re not always completely accurate. Let me explain.\nNew Testament prophets speak by unction, that is, by spiritual influence. In other words, they pick something up in the spirit and speak by faith from there. Since those with the gift of prophecy are human beings and human beings are imperfect, it\u2019s always possible for a person who\u2019s prophesying to be inaccurate in some ways, even though they\u2019re legitimately picking something up in the spirit. It might simply be a matter of immaturity or inexperience where they have not yet fully learned to distinguish the vile (flesh) from the precious (spirit).\nFor instance, someone with the gift of prophecy may legitimately pick something up in the spirit but may wrap their prophecy in their pet doctrine or their conviction. For instance, \u201cYea, I the LORD love thee greatly and you are greatly blessed, now go out and witness door-to-door in your neighborhood.\u201d In this case, the prophet had an encouraging word from the Lord, but then throws in his own conviction.\nThis explains why Paul added \u201cTest everything. Hold on to the good\u201d after instructing believers not to hold prophecies in contempt. Why? Because it\u2019s possible for the prophecy to be partially right-on and partially off. Keep in mind that there were no verse numbers in the original text. What I\u2019m saying is that verses 20 and 21 go together. In verse 20 Paul\u2019s talking about prophecies and then instructs the believers in verse 21 to test or judge every prophecy with the conclusion that they are to hold on to the good, that is, what is accurate.\nSay a prophet gives you a personal prophecy but only half of it bears witness with your spirit. The rest of it simply doesn\u2019t apply, and you know it. Should you discard the entire prophecy? No. Paul says to hold on to what is good. The rest of it should be thrown out or, at least, put on the shelf until you have a peace about it. Are you getting what God\u2019s Word is saying? Don\u2019t despise prophecies just because people with this gift miss it in certain ways now and then. The prophetic word is good because it encourages believers to move forward and fulfill their calling. Yet don\u2019t just blindly embrace every jot and tittle prophesied over you. Only accept what you have a peace about, as confirmed by the Holy Spirit. Put the rest aside or throw it out entirely, if necessary. But please don\u2019t throw out the person who prophesies or their ministry, unless of course their \u201cfruit\u201d has exposed them as false (Matthew 7:15-23).\nLet\u2019s look at one final passage on this matter:\nTwo or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. (30) And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. (31) For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. (32) The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. (33) For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.\nThis passage specifically addresses the New Testament prophet. It\u2019s not talking about someone in the body who gives a prophecy, but those who are in the office of a prophet, which is part of the fivefold ministry (Ephesians 4:11-12). Like the two other passages above, this one stresses that believers should weigh carefully what the prophet says, meaning examine and judge it.\nSome have suggested that \u201cthe others\u201d refers to other prophets, as if the only valid people who can test the prophecy of a prophet are other prophets. This isn\u2019t so for four reasons: (1.) The other two passages above say that believers in general are to examine and judge prophetic words. Why would this text change that? (2.) The natural reading of the passage shows that \u201cthe others\u201d refers to the same people Paul was addressing in verse 26 where he said, \u201cWhat then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation.\u201d (3.) Since Paul was clearly addressing all believers in verse 26 he would have naturally specified who \u201cthe others\u201d were in verse 29 if he was referring only to prophets, but he didn\u2019t. (4.) The notion that only another fivefold ministry prophet can judge a prophet\u2019s words just doesn\u2019t make sense and it creates all kinds of obvious difficulties. What if there\u2019s no other prophet present at the church gathering, which is often the case? Would this mean that the believers would have to blindly embrace what the prophet says, including the pastor? Even if there are other prophets present, wouldn\u2019t it be silly for the pastor to have to turn to another prophet and ask, \u201cIs what he said true?\u201d What if two or three prophets got into cahoots and agreed to agree with one another\u2019s prophecy? In other words, this notion that only another prophet can judge a prophet\u2019s prophecy opens the door for authoritarian abuse.\nIn summary, it\u2019s the believer\u2019s responsibility to examine and judge prophecies based on God\u2019s Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit within, hold on to the good and throw out the bad. This is a good thing, a wise thing, because it protects the believer from abuse, which includes the manipulating of people to do things that aren\u2019t even God\u2019s will for their lives.\nThe Example of Agabus, the Prophet\nAll this information is good, but it helps to see an actual example from the scriptures, so let\u2019s look at Agabus. Agabus was a New Testament prophet, a good and respected prophet. Notice how he successfully predicted a famine:\nDuring this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. (28) One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This happened during the reign of Claudius.) (29) The disciples, each according to his ability, decided to provide help for the brothers living in Judea. (30) This they did, sending their gift to the elders by Barnabas and Saul.\nAs you can see, Agabus was a prophet. He came to Antioch from Jerusalem with some other prophets and prophesied a famine that would negatively affect the people of Judea. The great historian, Josephus, documented this famine as occurring around 46 AD when Claudius was the Roman emperor. So Agabus was right about the famine and it was good that the Christians at Antioch believed his prophecy and compassionately sent an offering to Judea.\nAgabus was obviously a highly respected prophet otherwise the believers wouldn\u2019t have sent aid to Judea. Think about it, if some Joe Blow off the street wandered into your fellowship and said there was going to be a famine in a bordering nation would you blindly accept it and dish out the cash? Not likely, and wisely so. This indicates that Agabus was a renowned and respected prophet. Also notice that the believers \u201cdecided to provide help\u201d (verse 29), meaning no one commanded them to give with a dictatorial air. Furthermore, this gives the impression that they decided after weighing the prophecy carefully and discerning the leading of the Holy Spirit. They had a peace about it so they generously gave.\nI mention this passage to show that Agabus was a good prophet, a respected prophet, and an accurate prophet. But this doesn\u2019t mean he was perfect. If he and other New Testament prophets were 100% right 100 % of the time the scriptures wouldn\u2019t instruct us to examine and judge their prophecies and hold on to the good. As a matter of fact, Paul had to do just this with another one of Agabus\u2019 prophecies:\nLeaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the seven. (9) He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.\n(10) After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. (11) Coming over to us, he took Paul\u2019s belt tied his own hands and feet with it and said, \u201cThe Holy Spirit says, \u2018In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.\u2019 \u201c\nAgabus obviously picked up something about Paul in the spirit and proceeded to speak in faith. Notice the impact this prophecy had:\nWhen we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. (13) Then Paul answered, \u201cWhy are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.\u201d (14) When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, \u201cThe Lord\u2019s will be done.\u201d\nThe other believers unwisely accepted Agabus\u2019 prophecy at face value and took it in a negative sense, that is, they assumed it wasn\u2019t God\u2019s will for Paul to go to Jerusalem to minister. They consequently tried to discourage Paul from going, even to the extent of weeping! Yet notice that Agabus never said it wasn\u2019t God\u2019s will for Paul to go to Jerusalem, he merely informed him of the intense persecutions he would experience by going there. Acts 23:11 verifies beyond any shadow of doubt that it was God\u2019s will for the apostle to witness in Jerusalem. With this understanding, the obvious purpose of Agabus\u2019 prophecy was to warn Paul of the troubles he would face so that he\u2019d have the grace to trust God and persevere when it happened.\nAfter hearing the prophecy and being discouraged by the others who took Agabus\u2019 prophecy the wrong way, Paul practiced precisely what he taught: He weighed Agabus\u2019 prophecy carefully, held on to the good, and made the decision to go to Jerusalem based on the leading of the Holy Spirit. In other words, Paul had a peace about going to Jerusalem despite Agabus\u2019 warning and despite the other believers\u2019 discouraging antics.\nBut there\u2019s more: Agabus\u2019 prophecy was good in that it prepared Paul for the severe persecutions he would face in Jerusalem, but the details of his prophecy weren\u2019t wholly accurate. Agabus said that the Jews in Jerusalem would bind up Paul\u2019s hands and feet and deliver him to the Roman government, but this isn\u2019t what happened. Nine days after arriving in Jerusalem the Jews apprehended Paul for the purpose of murdering him, not to turn him over to the Romans; and the Romans actually saved Paul from the Jews. The soldiers then bound him with chains and took him into custody, but as soon as they found out he was a Roman citizen they released him. This is all detailed in Acts 21:30-33 and 22:25-30.\nAs you can see, Agabus was a respected prophet and rightly so. He accurately predicted that Paul was going to suffer great persecution in Jerusalem and he was right that Paul was going to be bound hand and foot. This warning helped prepare Paul for his mission and gave him the grace to persevere when persecuted, but \u2013 clearly \u2013 some of the details of Agabus\u2019 prophecy were off.\nWhat this indicates is that Agabus legitimately picked up something from the Spirit, something Paul needed to hear, but as Agabus spoke in faith he missed some of the details. Frankly, these details are insignificant in the grand scheme of things because it was enough that Paul was warned of the troubles he was about to face. And, remember, Agabus never told Paul not to go to Jerusalem; it was the other believers who mistook the prophet\u2019s words and tried to stop the apostle from going.\nThis information is important because it proves that New Testament prophets can miss it even while they legitimately pick something up in the spirit. This is why believers must test prophecies by the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit. This is what Paul did and he was blessed because of it. Amen.\nNOTE: This article was edited from Dirk\u2019s book Legalism Unmasked. You can purchase a low-priced copy here (292 pages for about $10); or you can get the Kindle eBook for only $2.99!",

Small changes are always easier to make.\nI am going to take this one step further and use the Benjamin Franklin method of changing. The theory is that if you do something every day for 30 days, it will be a habit. Or, if you are trying to break a habit, keep from doing it for 30 days. Benjamin Frankly kept a calendar. If he did the thing he was trying to stop doing, he would make a mark on his calendar and start the 30 days over. Once he had accomplished his goal of refraining from his bad habit for 30 days, he considered the change complete and would move on to another goal, always striving to be a better man.\nThis is the way I am approaching my change. One of the things I hate most is gossip. It can be very damaging and is a terrible thing. Unfortunately, I have become a terrible gossip. I want this to stop. So, for as long as it takes to break this habit, I will not speak bad of a person. I will only speak good things about people.\nDo you have something you would like to change? Consider doing this for yourself.\nLabels: new month's resolution\nHi. Just stopping by to say happy easter :D\nKristina @ Freedom Lovers' Academy April 5, 2010 at 4:25 PM\nThanks, Jenny!

        "raw_content": "Definition: The verb is maybe the most important part of the sentence. A verb is a word that describes an action or mental or physical state. A verb or compound verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events, or states of being. The verb or compound verb is the critical element of the predicate of a sentence.\nTenses and Moods\nFrench verbs can be formed in four moods, each of which express a unique feeling. Each mood has a varying number of tenses, which indicate the time when an action takes place.\nThe infinitive form of the verb will be used to identify it. In English, the infinitive form is to \"Verb\". In French, the infinitive is one word. For example, parler translates to to speak, finir translates to to finish, and aller translates to \"to go\".\nFrench verbs conjugate, which means they take different shapes depending on the subject. English verbs only have one conjugation; that is the third person singular (I see, you see, he/she sees, we see, they see). The only exception is the verb \"to be\" (I am; (thou art); you are; he/she is; we are; they are;). Similar cases occur in Spanish verbs, like the Ser Conjugation, one of the most used verbs in that language. Most French verbs will conjugate into many different forms. Most verbs are regular, which means that they conjugate in the same way. The most common verbs, however, are irregular.\naccomplir - to accomplish\nb\u00e2tir - to build\nchoisir - to choose\nembellir - to make beautiful\nenvahir - to invade\nfinir - to finish",

Such a magnificent song.)\nI still remember that time when we were dancing, we were dancing to a song that I\u2019d heard. Your face was simple and your hands were naked, I was singing without knowing the words. But I started listening to the wolves in the timber, wolves in the timber at night. I heard their song when I looked in the mirror, in the howls and the moons round my eyes\u2026\nSo long, so high\nThen winter came, and there was little left between us \u2013 skin and bones of love won\u2019t make a meal. I felt my eyes lifted over your shoulder, there were wolves at the edge of the fields. But I still remember that time when we were dancing, we were dancing to a song that I\u2019d heard. Your face was simple and your hands were naked, I was singing without knowing the words\u2026\nThen one day I just woke up and the wolves were all there, wolves in the piano, wolves underneath the stairs, wolves inside the hinges circling round my door, at night inside the bedsprings, clicking cross the floor. I don\u2019t know how they found me I\u2019ll never know quite how. I still can\u2019t believe they heard me, that I was howling out that loud\u2026\nSometimes in the frozen nights I go roaming in the bed you used to share with me. I wake in the field with the cold and the lonesome, the moon\u2019s the only face that I see. I still remember that time when we were dancing, dancing to a song that I\u2019d heard. Your face was simple and your hands were naked, I was singing without knowing the words.\nSo long so high\nRitter has a \u201cteeny tiny Spring tour\u201d coming up, in which the band will be taking a break from the studio, shaking off some rust, and playing new songs. Yeah, I\u2019d recommend going.\nTagged with josh ritter, noise pop.\nI\u2019ve never heard this song before, but it is totally and completely where I\u2019m at right now. Thank you so much.\nPhilip \u2014 February 28, 2009 @ 12:20 pm\nI love, love, love, love, love Josh Ritter. Thanks for posting his stuff and trying to expose him to a wider audience.\nSuch an incredible song!\nAnytime you can go see Josh Ritter I\u2019d suggest it as well. The fact that Josh hangs around after his shows to chat and take pictures is pretty incredible as well. One of the nicest and most genuine individuals I\u2019ve ever met.\nNeil \u2014 February 28, 2009 @ 6:34 pm\nFunny, the chorus to this song has been running through my head for the past two years. I\u2019ll forget about it for a time, then it\u2019ll appear out of nowhere and suddenly I\u2019m singing it to myself. To say the track is \u201cinfectious\u201d simply doesn\u2019t do it justice!\nJustin \u2014 March 2, 2009 @ 5:21 pm\nJosh Ritter is one of my absolutely favorite singer-songerwriters. If you have a chance to see him, do it. He clearly loves his craft and it shows in his music. One his last tour, Josh wrote an essay on each city/stop on the tour. It was impressive.\nBrendan \u2014 March 2, 2009 @ 9:59 pm\nGod. He killed it at this year\u2019s Noise Pop. Just him and a string quartet, and several songs solo \u2013 a few without mic or amplification. Every person in the hall was rapt for the entire set.

The Office of the Chairman of the Group of 77 in New York will maintain the homepage and update its contents on a regular basis.\nThe immediate objective of this undertaking is to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the Internet to make available general information consisting of official documents such as statements, position papers, the G-77 bulletin, as well as other public information materials. Ultimately the objective is for the public Web site to evolve into an Intranet as this medium matures and is adopted by Member States to meet their electronic communication needs.\nThe impetus for this initiative originated in a directive from the Special Ministerial Meeting of the Group of 77 commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of the Group of 77 held in New York in June 1994. In this regard, the Foreign Ministers recommended renewed steps to enhance information exchange and communication among the Chapters of the Group of 77 located at various United Nations centres including through online and other electronic networking facilities.\nThe G-77 Web site constitutes a further step towards the enhancement of information flows and communications not only among the Chapters of the Group but also to the media and the general public. The homepage contains relevant information relating to development issues being discussed at the headquarters of various United Nations agencies, programmes and bodies where the G-77 Chapters are located, namely New York, Geneva, Paris, Rome, Nairobi, Vienna and Washington, D.C.

Rosenberg on Feb 4, 2012)\nOrder, Supreme Court, New York County (Geoffrey D. Wright, J.), entered February 10, 2011, which granted defendants\u2011respondents' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint as against them, unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and the motion denied.\nDefendant Duffy was driving a fire truck to the scene of an emergency when the truck collided with a van, injuring plaintiff, a passenger in the van. The record shows that Duffy had stopped on Third Avenue and was turning right onto 68th Street, with the traffic light in his favor, when the fire truck hit the van. Duffy was not engaged in any of the specific conduct that the driver of an authorized emergency vehicle in an emergency operation is permitted by Vehicle and Traffic Law Sec. 1104(b). He was not stopping, standing or parking in violation of the rules of the road, proceeding past a red signal or stop sign, speeding, or proceeding in the wrong direction or making an unlawful turn.

        "raw_content": "Got a tap that just won\u2019t stop dripping? Perhaps your pipes and drains are emitting odd sounds and smells. You\u2019re not wrong in thinking that you need a plumber. Getting problems like these seen to quickly and efficiently is important to keep your household bills down and stop bigger problems emerging down the line.\nBut when you hire a plumber, you\u2019re usually inviting them into your home. This is why it\u2019s important to choose someone reliable, professional and friendly so that you get a good all-round service.\nProbably the first thing you should check is how much experience a plumbing company has. You need a service that\u2019s been running for at least a few years. This means that not only will they be well versed in all types of plumbing problems, they\u2019re likely to offer a very reliable service. After all, an unreliable service is not sustainable over the years.\nYou should look for a plumbing company that is going to provide you with a good service at competitive prices. But we don\u2019t mean you should look for the cheapest option, nor should you go for over-priced plumbers. A cheap service might signal that they are not fully qualified or that perhaps they are using cheap parts or employing under-par engineers. And a service that is too expensive might be trying to rip you off. A good plumbing service will be frank and open about their rates and they should reflect the industry standard rates. Anything far higher or lower than these can signal a problem.\nAn often-overlooked quality, it\u2019s important to look for a friendly plumber. After all, this person is going to be coming to your house so you want to be certain they\u2019re a decent person. Our industry is plagued with cowboys who go around performing poor-quality qork and giving the rest of the plumbers in Plymouth a bad name. But friendly plumbers can still be found!\nThere are certain qualifications and industry requirements for safe plumbing work. Any plumber that you employ should meet these requirements and will be happy to prove their credentials if you wish.\nYour plumber should be able to respond to the work required within a reasonable time frame. Once they arrive, they should aim to complete the job as quickly and professionally as they can. This is mutually beneficial: it means that you save money on labour and that they can get off to the next job on their never-ending list. But watch out for plumbers that work too quickly. It could be a sign that they\u2019re cutting corners.\nPerhaps the most reliable form of advertising, getting a recommendation is a great way to find a good plumber in Plymouth. Sign up to review websites to see how they\u2019ve performed and follow them on social media to see their interaction with customers. This can give an insight into the way your plumber does business and how much importance they place on leaving a good reputation behind them.",

        "raw_content": "Can Drought Be Prevented? Slovakia Aims to Try\nby Ed Holt (bratislava)\nBRATISLAVA, Jan 22 (IPS) - A landmark programme to combat drought set to be implemented in the small Central European country of Slovakia could be an inspiration for other states as extreme weather events become more frequent, the environmental action group behind the plan has said.\nDanube border between Hungary and Slovakia. Credit: Ed Holt/IPS\nThe H2odnota v krajine (Value of H2O in the country) plan, which is expected to be approved by the Slovak government this Spring, includes a range of measures which, unlike many plans for drought, is proactive and focuses on prevention and mitigation instead of reacting to drought once it has occurred.\nRichard Muller, Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe at the Global Water Partnership, an international network of organisations working to promote sustainable management and development of water resources, helped draft the plan.\nHe told IPS: \"A few of the measures in this plan have been adopted in other countries as part of climate change adaptation, but Slovakia is the first country in the region to have this kind of action plan to combat drought.\n\"It is a landmark plan\u2026other countries could look at this and be inspired and say, yes, this is something we should copy.\"\nThe focus of the plan is on preventive measures in a number of areas, specifically agriculture and forestry, urban landscape, water management, research and environmental education.\nThe measures involve projects to modernise irrigation systems and change forest structure towards better climate change resilience as well as rainwater harvesting, tree planting, development of green spaces, green and vertical roofs and rainwater infiltration in urban landscapes.\nIt also covers water management, dealing with preparatory work for reconstruction of smaller reservoirs of water and green infrastructure, including wetlands restoration.\nThere is also a crisis plan to supply water to different sectors of national economy during prolonged drought while it also involves programmes for public education and raising awareness of drought and water scarcity.\nTogether, these measures should, Muller explained, mean that even if and when there are long, dry spells, there will be some mitigation of the effects.\n\"Other countries have plans for drought, but in some, such as the USA, measures are related to dealing with drought after the event. But the Slovak plan is focused on prevention and action beforehand,\" he said.\nStrbske Pleso lake in the High Tatras in Slovakia. Credit: Ed Holt/IPS\nSlovakia, like many other countries around the world, has seen an increased frequency of extreme weather events in recent years, including record heat and drought.\nLast year, some parts of the country saw the driest first half of the year in over six decades while there was a very severe drought during 2015 when there were 23 days classified as super-tropical, i.e. with maximum temperatures of over 35 degrees Celsius. This was compared to a maximum of five such days per year in years prior to 1990.\nSimilar droughts have been experienced across the wider central European region \u2013 in the Czech Republic conditions in last year's drought were particularly severe with serious water shortages reported - and intergovernmental talks on drought, other extreme weather events and the environment have taken place over the last year.\nThe Slovak plan has already drawn interest from other governments, being praised by officials at a meeting last November of the Visegrad Four group \u2013 a political alliance of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic \u2013 in Budapest.\nAs the plan is focused on prevention, its effectiveness during times of drought may not be immediately noticed by many. But even when there is no drought, it has the potential to effect a positive change.\n\"Some of the measures in the plan will improve people's quality of life, for instance in towns and villages, through things like rainwater harvesting, tree planting, the development of green spaces, vertical and \u2018green' roofs and rainwater infiltration\" explained Muller.\nBut while the adoption of the plan has been welcomed and it seems set to benefit Slovaks even in times when there is no drought, the need for it at all highlights growing concerns over the rapid changes in the country's climate and what they could mean for its water supplies and use.\nSlovakia has a relative wealth of groundwater sources due its specific geology and, historically, droughts have been infrequent and water shortages rare.\nBut the drought in 2015, which was the worst in more than 100 years, was, largely, what prompted the Slovak government to begin work on the action plan \u2013 \"the government wants to be prepared if it happens again,\" said Muller. And the drought last year only reinforced its determination to push on with it.\nSpeaking at a press conference to announce the plan in November last year, Environment Minister Laszlo Solymos said: \"If anyone has had doubts about global warming, this summer has offered a lot of opportunities to eliminate them. You just had to look into wells in the Zahorie area or talk to farmers. Slovakia isn't spared from drought.\"\nMore frequent and intense droughts are almost certain in the future, climatologists predict, as the climate in Slovakia changes.\nLocal climatologists agree that Slovakia's climate zones are pushing northward and that southern Slovakia's climate is rapidly becoming closer to that of northern Italy or Spain.\nAccording to the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute, the average annual air temperature in Slovakia rose 1 degree Celsius between 1991-2014 compared to 1961-1990.\nWith these higher temperatures comes not just greater demand for water but a higher risk of more frequent, intense and widespread drought. Indeed, official data from the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute shows that in the last three years some part of Slovakia has been affected by drought.\nSpeaking to the Slovak daily newspaper Hospdarske noviny this month (JAN), Milan Lapin, a climatologist at the University of Comenius in Bratislava, said: \"Since we expect that in the future there won't be greater rainfall in Slovakia, the country will be drier, there will be more frequent drought with dramatic consequences and we'll have serious problems with water.\"\nMuller admits that the current action plan may not be enough if worst-case scenarios of climate change come to pass and extra measures might be needed decades in the future.\n\"We might need new, innovative technology and large-scale infrastructure for water retention and distribution.\"\n<p><a href=\"http://www.globalissues.org/news/2018/01/22/23874\">Can Drought Be Prevented?

        "raw_content": "Near Infrared Light Therapy - ACNE \u2022 ANTI-AGING \u2022 PAIN\nResearch has shown that phototherapy can: increase circulation, accelerate tissue repair, decrease wrinkles, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone, texture and clarity, ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm and arthritis and kill acne bacteria, and much more.\nHow Does Light Energy work?\nSpecific wavelengths of light energy, when properly absorbed, up-regulates compromised cells. The light (photons) energy is absorbed by photoacceptors in the mitochondria and used to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP produced then stimulates various metabolic processes which can result in the repair and regeneration of cell and tissue components.\nReduce the excitability of nervous tissue. The photons of light energy enter the body as negative ions. This calls upon the body to send positive ions like calcium among others to go to the area being\ntreated. These ions assist in firing the nerves thereby relieving pain.\nIncrease phagocytosis, which is the process of scavenging for and ingesting dead or degenerated cells by phagocyte cells for the purpose of clean up. This is an important part of the infection fighting\nprocess. Destruction of the infection and clean up must occur before the healing process can take place.\nInduce a thermal like effect in the tissue. The light raises the temperature of the cells although there is no heat produced from the diodes themselves. (The BioPack cluster will be warm to the touch\nbecause of the electronics needed to power the 30 diodes.)\nIn an article, \u201cTherapeutic Light\u201d - by Chukuku S. Enwemeka, PT, PhD, FACSM, he wrote \u201cother reported mechanisms of light-induced beneficial effects include modulation of prostaglandin levels, alteration of somatosensory evoked potential and nerve conduction velocity, and hyperemia of treated tissues. The resultant clinical benefits include pain relief in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis, ankle sprain, and temporomandibular joint dysfunction, shoulder and neck pain, arthritis, and post-herpetic neuralgia, as well as tissue repair in cases of diabetic ulcer, venous ulcer, mouth ulcer, fractures, tendon rupture, ligamentous, tear, torn cartilage, and nerve injury.\u201d\nINFRARED LIGHT THERAPY Pain: Invisible Near infrared dominant (880 nm)\nInvisible to the naked eye, IR light penetrates deeper than any other color in the spectrum. Combating the signs of aging and accelerates healing of wounds, cuts, and damage.\nRED LIGHT THERAPY Wrinkles: Red Light Dominant (625 nm to 660 nm)\nRed light reaches deep layers of the skin, where it stimulates cellular repair and increases circulation to promote a more vibrant, youthful complexion. Red and IR light work synergistically to deliver optimal skin rejuvenation.\nBLUE LIGHT THERAPY Acne: Blue Light Dominant (405 nm to 465 nm)\nProven to have powerful anti-bacterial properties, blue light is used to treat mild to moderate acne. Blue light also helps to purify the skin, stabilize oil glands, and soothe inflammation.\nAMBER LIGHT THERAPY Complextion: 605 nm\nBrings vitality to dull complexions, Amber light reduces the appearance of redness, swelling and inflammation. This color of light is beneficial for rosacea and the treatment of burns, including sunburns.\nLED light Therapy session (Red and/or IR Light) specifically designed to address inflammation associated with trauma and/or an allergic reaction that causes discomfort with a focus on clients whonmxperience persistent problems such as joint and muscle discomfort. It is also used within 72 hours of any traumatic event including post-surgical interventions to reduce scarring and encourage normal tissue formation.\nInfrared (IR) light (wavelength 800nm - 900nm) energy penetrates tissue at a greater depth than the blue and red light. Approximately 50% penetrates to 8cm and decreases to less than 1% at 20cm (NASA study). Infrared energy is known to heat tissue and its effects are well documented for therapeutic pain management. For cosmetic applications, IR stimulates the NaK+ pump which increases cell membrane permeability; facilitating equilibrium of cellular pH, while increasing nutritional absorption and elimination of waste byproducts.\nRed and Blue Light designed to repair damaged skin and significantly reduce the P. acnes, the bacteria responsible for causing inflammatory acne vulgaris. 15 minutes of Blue light first enters the sebaceous glands and singlet oxygen is created. Singlet oxygen then in turn kills the bacteria. Next, the client is exposed to 15 minutes of red light. This acne treatment aids in the healing process of the skin and prevents infection and scarring from occurring.\nRed and/or IR Light designed to re-hydrate the face, and increase collagen and elastin formation resulting in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It aids in decreasing flaccidity, lifting sagging tissues and restoring skin tone and texture resulting in an overall improvement erasing years from the face. Ten treatments are recommended. Maintenance once a month or as needed can prolong the youthful appearance.\nRed and/or IR Light intended to improve discoloration caused by sun damage, chemical build-up, and chemical reactions from chemical peels, and excessive use of skin damaging products. This process normalizes the melanin within the skin. The amount of treatments needed vary depending on the amount of damage to the skin, the thickness of the skin and the age of the client. Severe conditions such as Melasma may be best treated with a combination therapy of topical ointments such as hydroquinone and/or IPL and/or laser followed by Light Therapy.\nScar Tissue - Red and/or IR Light uses powerful Infrared and red light to stimulate the reduction of fibrotic tissue and the replacement of normal tissue. Clients usually notice softening of scar tissue. They also notice flattening and widening of the scar. This is a normal sequence in scar reduction. With several more sessions the flat, wide scar will become thinner and remain flat. Some scars may appear to be resistant to this program (hypertrophic and/or keloid). If this is the case, a customized treatment protocol and/or additional treatment options may need to be considered.\nLightwave LED systems are for Licensed Professionals and have 5 FDA Clearances.\nOver the Counter LED for Home use - Revive Light - Neurocare Systems\nResearch Study Links to PubMed and Journals Click the links below to view study abstracts on PubMed.gov\nPAIN STUDIES\nChronic Low Back Pain, Joint Pain:\nhttps://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/unique-use-near-infrared-light-source-treat-pain\nMS-spinal treatment\nMuscloskeletal pain\nTBI, Brain, Neurological\nLLLT Overview\nExercise Recovery/Post Workout\nInfrared therapy reduces inflammation in the body. : https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5523874/ ,https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16503786\norigin: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3601794/\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30614743- overall healing, pain reduction and anti-inflammatory\nInflammation causes things such as: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK279298/\nInfrared therapy aids in these:\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28580494 - carpal tunnel\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28272964- hand and grip strength\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29116611-anti-inflammatory\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12775206- chronic joint disorders\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4126803/ - healing, stimulating, restoring\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23093133 - mensical pathology\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24049929 - skin healing\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10955339 - osteoarthiritis and rheumatoid arthritis\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16371497- tendinitis and related muscle strains\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25559198-tendinopathy\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23334615 - increases venous nitric oxide levels\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15954814/ - ischemic\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14499424- circulation\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30653125- plantar facitis\nhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30427505-migraines\nFibromyalgia etc: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22718472 ,https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20662037,https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24801056\nWound type: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29399303\n& why https://www.verywellhealth.com/the-thyroid-fibromyalgia-connection-3231681\nOver 60 peer-reviewed papers on tissue repair and pain control.

        "raw_content": "Recession: When the Market Cools, Consider a Fur Coat\nGail Guge & Jim Hughes, Brand Strategists\nHere we are again in another economic downturn. Headlines in the L.A. Times in late March of this year read, \u201cU.S. home prices drop 11.4% in year.\u201d Some would argue that it\u2019s really a recession. Defined on Wikipedia, a recession is a decline in a country\u2019s gross domestic product (GDP), or negative real economic growth, for two or more successive quarters for a year. Well, so, what\u2019s new? Been here before, right? Right, especially for those in the retail sector. Anyone there has felt the anxiety attacks more than once in the last decade. And, some emerge better and stronger than ever while some disappear from sight.\nThese economic gyrations have been revisiting us for a long, long time. The first recorded was the Panic of 1797 when the effects of the deflation of the Bank of England crossed the Atlantic Ocean to North America and disrupted commercial and real estate markets in the United States colonies. That lasted 3 years. More recently, we weathered the oil crisis of 1973, the Iranian Revolution of the early eighties, the late 80s/early 90s meltdown (particularly in California) of the Aerospace/Defense industry and Real Estate markets. Then, there was the burst of the Dot-com bubble in 2001-2003. During each rebound, some companies would rise up like a phoenix. Most would fall. Any lessons to be learned?\nA true story: A man was in the market for a fur coat for his wife in the early eighties. The economy was faltering, and bargains were plenty. He was poorly suited for the task and had no experience at buying such luxurious (or frivolous, you might think) items but was determined to make that year the Christmas to remember. He scanned the many ads from numerous furriers \u2013 most with bomb bursts and exclamation points promoting \u201cRed Tag Sale\u201d prices, \u201cInventory Reduction\u201d sales and even \u201cGoing Out of Business\u201d sales. It all made him liken these retailers to the many carpet store ads he\u2019d seen. Even more, they made him frightened to take such a plunge. He asked himself, what if these guys really do go out of business? Where did they get this merchandise, anyway? Then, one day he came across an ad from the high-end department store, Neiman Marcus. Two words, elegantly typeset, proclaimed \u201cFur Sale.\u201d The man soon found himself in the Neiman Marcus store and quickly spotted a well-designed, typical Neiman Marcus sign that read: \u201c30% Off All Furs.\u201d Heaven sent, he rationalized, and purchased a coat. Even had\nit monogrammed.\nThe lesson? Not for a moment did he think Neiman Marcus was going out of business or selling inferior products; it was opportunity knocking. Now did Neiman Marcus sell more furs than the others? Don\u2019t know. But the lesson learned, is that Neiman Marcus was still a shining example of a luxury brand when that recessionary period ended. The others were, more than likely, history. If they had a brand to begin with, they would now have to begin the time consuming and expensive process of rebuilding their brands all over again.\nSo what about car dealers and real estate developers? Ads proclaiming \u201cSale of the Century\u201d and \u201cNever Before Savings\u201d really promote \u201cMake us a ridiculous offer\u201d or \u201cHow low will they really go?\u201d and they bring out the bargain hunters, not the value buyers. There was a great ad for a new home development in the late seventies, during the 18%+ interest rate days. The headline read: \u201cBe Dazzled. Spectacular views, luxurious amenities, interest rates reduced to 6.75%.\u201d What a great way to add urgency to the ad to quickly reduce the builder\u2019s inventory, but all without commoditizing the community. Most of the competitive ads at the time were communicating desperation and distress to reduce their inventories.\nNow, make no mistake about it, inventory and its control or management is the economic engine that drives, or stalls, entire categories. And, marketing\u2019s responsibility is to reduce inventory and the faster the better. However, maintaining brand value while reducing those inventories should be the CEO\u2019s mandate to marketing. Case in point: the \u201cBe Dazzled\u201d ad approach. In the Neiman Marcus example, the fur coat shopper\u2019s purchase intentions were truly at risk. He was actually afraid to buy until he was persuaded by what appeared to be an opportunity to purchase a name brand fur at a reduced price. The brand was not the least bit injured. His consumer confidence was even lifted and brand loyalty secured \u2013 none of which happened with the other brands showcasing distress ads.\nSo, Mr. or Ms. Retailer, homebuilder, auto dealer, etc. Go ahead\u2026reduce your prices and inventories, but to protect your brand\u2019s value perception during a cold market, consider a fur coat.",

        "raw_content": "Most people are aware that melanoma is a more serious form of skin cancer, but are you doing everything possible to prevent this disease?\nOne of the main culprits for melanoma and other skin diseases are tanning beds, according to Amy Diamond, MD, from the Washington Health System Family Medicine-Greene Plaza and Medical Director WHS Wound and Skin Healing Center.\nMany people believe the UV rays of tanning beds do not pose as great a threat as sun overexposure. However, tanning lamps emit UV rays, which can cause long-term damage to your skin and can also contribute to melanoma or other forms of skin cancer.\n\"The risk of melanoma significantly increases when you use tanning beds, particularly if the person is younger than 35 years old,\" says Dr. Diamond. \"Tanning beds produce ultraviolet A radiation which is known to be a risk factor for melanoma and has been classified by the WHO as a human carcinogen.\"\nOther factors that put you in the high-risk category for melanoma include:\nA more distant personal history of melanoma\nA strong history of melanoma in your family\nMore than 25 moles on your body\nExcessive sunburns or tanning bed use in your past\n\"If you meet any of these criteria, you want to get annual skin checks either from your primary care physician or your dermatologist,\" says Dr. Diamond. \"If you are identified as having a greater risk for melanoma, you may be required to go for more frequent visits.\" According to Dr. Diamond, look for the \"ABCDE\" signs of melanoma, used and recommended by the American\nCancer Society and the American Academy of Dermatology. If you see one or more of these signs, call your doctor or dermatologist immediately:\nAsymmetry - If you draw an imaginary line down the center of your mole, will both halves match? If they do not, it's asymmetrical which is a warning sign for melanoma\nBorder - The borders of a benign mole typically are smooth and even. Irregular borders could indicate melanoma.\nColor - A variety of colors, even different shades of the same color, within your mole is a warning signal. A dark black mole is a warning sign as well.\nDiameter - Another cause for concern is if the suspected lesion is greater than 6mm in diameter.\nElevation - The most important warning sign is if your mole changes size or texture, or begins to bleed.\nIt's not just melanoma you need to be concerned about. Other heat-related conditions/tanning bed conditions that you should be aware of include heat exhaustion, heat stroke, sun poisoning, fungal skin rashes, atopic dermatitis, and even advanced signs of aging, or wrinkles.\n\"To prevent melanoma and other skin conditions, we recommend that you avoid tanning beds, seek shade, wear protective clothing and apply sunscreen, at least SPF 15 or higher, broadly before going outside and remember to continually reapply if exposed to sun for prolonged time periods,\" says Dr. Diamond.\nTo ensure that you're receiving the best care possible, be sure that you are taking an active role in your own care as well, especially if you exhibit some of the risk factors mentioned above. In addition to keeping an eye out for skin and mole changes, tell your doctor about any concerns you have, such as excessive sun or tanning exposure, or a personal/family history of skin cancer.\nHaving a risk factor does not mean that you will get melanoma. Many people with one or more risk factors may never get melanoma, while others may have few or no known risk factors.\n\"If you're worried or have one of the risk factors, it may turn out to be nothing,\" says Dr. Diamond. \"But we always recommend that if it's something that concerns you, call your doctor or dermatologist immediately and get checked out to be sure.\"\nFor more information, visit www.whs.org or to make an appointment with Dr. Amy Diamond, call (724) 627-8592.",

        "title": "Sleep Apnea Can Damage the Heart, But Diagnosis and Treatment Are Available at St. Clair Hospital's Sleep Disorders Center - Western Pennsylvania Guide to Good Health",
        "raw_content": "Sleep Apnea Can Damage the Heart, But Diagnosis and Treatment Are Available at St. Clair Hospital's Sleep Disorders Center\nIt has long been recognized that untreated sleep apnea leads to a host of medical problems that can significantly compromise one's health, quality of life and longevity. Now, there is new evidence indicating that a strong link exists between this common sleep disorder and the development of cardiovascular disease, including high blood pressure and congestive heart failure.\nKaren Gannon, RRT, RPSGT, manager of the Sleep Disorders Center and Department of Respiratory Therapy at St. Clair Hospital, explains that sleep apnea increases one's risk for developing congestive heart failure (CHF) because episodes of apnea are associated with low oxygen levels in the blood. This makes the heart pump harder to try to compensate, stressing the heart and eventually causing the heart muscle to weaken and become enlarged. A weakened heart muscle is no longer able to pump effectively \u2013 which is essentially what CHF means. Treatment for sleep apnea improves oxygenation, decreasing the stress on the heart at night and helping it to pump more effectively.\n\"Sleep apnea damages the heart. It is not a minor problem; it's a serious health issue that can have major long term consequences. Treatment for sleep apnea can help prevent the development of CHF and it can improve CHF in those patients who already have it. It improves the cardiac ejection fraction, an indicator of how effectively the heart is pumping,\" Gannon says. \"Treatment improves overall quality of life.\"\nAs a respiratory therapist with 33 years of experience, and a registered polytechsomnographic technologist \u2013 a person who is specially trained to perform diagnostic sleep studies - Gannon is one of the region's experts on sleep apnea and other sleep disorders. She is a graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania and was trained in sleep studies at Stanford University; she is credentialed by the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technology. She says that one cannot underestimate the connection between good sleep and good health: if you sleep better, you feel better and function better, and most people need 7 to 8 hours of good sleep. But if you are waking up at night and you don't breathe well in your sleep, you are not simply going to be tired, you are going to put your health at risk. People who lack good sleep are deprived of the physiological restoration that is sleep's purpose, Gannon explains. Waking up frequently creates stress that can lead to fatigue, weight gain, hypertension and even diabetes.\n\"We need both quality and quantity when it comes to sleep. Unfortunately, lack of sleep is common. When people are very busy, the first thing they will sacrifice is sleep. But sleep restores you and gives you the energy to maintain your busy life, without feeling terrible all the time.\" St. Clair's Sleep Disorders Center opened in 1993. Demand for sleep studies has grown so much that the Center is now operating seven days a week and never has an empty bed. To Gannon, this is a positive development: \"Physicians are more aware and educated about sleep disorders than ever before. As they recognize the dangers of sleep apnea and other disorders, they are referring more and more patients for sleep studies.\" A polysomnogram is the gold standard for diagnosing sleep disorders. This test has the capability of detecting many different aspects of sleep: breathing patterns, oxygenation, brain wave patterns, limb movement and heart rate and rhythm. It can even detect bruxism, which is grinding the teeth during sleep. Although most of the patients who come to the Sleep Disorders Center have symptoms of sleep apnea, there are other conditions that interfere with sleep. These include insomnia, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome and periodic limb movement disorders.\nThe overnight sleep study experience is generally pleasant and involves no pain or sedation. The Sleep Disorders Center provides private rooms with comfortable beds and a television, designed to replicate the patient's normal bedtime experience. Once the patient is ready for bed, the technologist attaches various sensors with which to monitor physiologic activity during sleep. Once the study is completed, it is interpreted by a physician who is a sleep specialist and the results are transmitted to the patient's primary care physician.\nThe usual treatment for sleep apnea is continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP. This is a system worn during sleep that consists of a small, carefully fitted face mask, tubing and a compressor that sends humidified air and sometimes oxygen to the airway, keeping it open. Most people find that they feel better so quickly that getting accustomed to the appliance is easy.\n\"Sleep is essential to your overall health and well being,\" Gannon states. \"If you think you may be experiencing symptoms of sleep apnea, discuss it with your doctor. Although sleep studies are sometimes done in outpatient settings and there is even a home sleep study program being developed, for quality results, it should be done in a hospital.\"\nFor more information or to speak with Karen Gannon, call (412) 942-2035 or visit the St. Clair Hospital website at www.stclair.org.",

Although the conquest of the Caucasus started at least as early as the Russo-Persian Wars, the term Caucasian War commonly refers only to the period 1817\u20131864. Those who use the term Russian\u2013Circassian War take its starting date as 1763, when the Russians began establishing forts, including at Mozdok, to be used as springboards for conquest.[5]\nThe Caucasian War ended with the signing of loyalty oaths by Circassian leaders on 2 June [O.S. 21 May] 1864. Afterwards, the Ottoman Empire offered to harbour the Circassians that did not wish to accept the rule of a Christian monarch, and many emigrated to Anatolia, the heart of the Ottoman Empire[5][6] and ended up in modern Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq and Kosovo. Different smaller numbers ended up in neighbouring Persia. Various Russian, Caucasus, and Western historians agree on the figure of ca. 500,000 inhabitants of the highland Caucasus being deported by Russia in the 1860s.[4] A large fraction of them died in transit from disease. Some of those that remained loyal to Russia, were settled into the lowlands, the left-bank of the Kuban River.\nEarly relations between Russia and Circassians 1\nOpportunity for Russia 2\nAnnexation of eastern Circassia 2.1\nInvasion of western Circassia 2.2\nPrologue: Russian invades the western Circassia lands 2.2.1\nThe invasion 2.2.2\nThe Revelation 2.3\nConsequences of the conflict 3\nCivilian casualties 3.1\nCitations and notes 5\nEarly relations between Russia and Circassians\nA map of Circassia about 1700\nCircassia (Cherkessia in Russian) refers to a region the majority of whose inhabitants before the 1860s were the Adygey (Adyghey, Adyghe) ethnic group, known to the West as Circassians. This region consisted for the most part of the region between the westward flowing Kuban River to the north and the Caucasus mountain range to the south, although the Kuban River constituted only part of the northern boundary. The Circassians were never politically united for a long period. The western bulk of Circassia, they belonged to any of about ten tribes, living in communities headed by chieftains. In the east of Circassia were two feudal polities, Greater Kabard\u00e1 and Lesser Kabard\u00e1. In the late 1550s, the ruler of one of the Kabard\u00e1s, Temryuk (or Temriuk), struck a politico-military alliance with Tsar Ivan IV of Russia (\"Ivan the Terrible\"), for mutual assistance against expansionist attacks by the Persian and Ottoman Empires. In this period of history, the Circassians were Christians; Islam did not begin to penetrate Circassia until the following century.[7] In the 1560s Ivan and Temryuk directed forts to be constructed, including Tumnev at the western end of Circassian lands and along the upper reaches of the Sunzha river, at the eastern end of Circassian lands.\nOpportunity for Russia\nPainting of the Russian fleet that was constructed in the ports along the Black Sea conquered during the conflict\nDuring the mid 18th century, the Circassian region was a key strategic location to the power struggle between the surging British and French empires, the emerging Russian Empire, and the declining Ottoman Empire. Russia had set its sights on expansion along the Black Sea, while Britain and France sought to reduce Russia's ability to take advantage of the declining Ottoman Empire, a foreign policy known as the answer to the Eastern Question.\nPeter the Great's plans for expansion into India and the Black Sea included engaging both Turkey and Persia. To facilitate the fall of Persia, Russia would require shipyards on the Black Sea, which made Circassia, with its coastline, a target.\nAnnexation of eastern Circassia\nConstruction of the Georgian Military Road through disputed territories was a key factor in the eventual Russian success\nOn a number of occasions, the Russian army took advantage of unrest and difficulty both within and between the Persian potentates,[8] illustrated on 22 June 1806 when \u2013 during the Russo-Persian War (1804-1813) \u2013 the Caspian Sea town of Derbend fell to the Russian forces without a shot being fired. The ruler of Derbend, Shaykh Ali, was so unpopular with his people that upon the arrival of the Russian army, they revolted and allowed the Russians to take over.[9]\nIn 1804, the subjugated Kabardians, as well as the remaining Western Circassians and neighbouring Balkars, Karachays, Abazins, Ossetins, Ingushes, and Chechens, united in a military uprising. The rebels demanded the destruction of the Kislovodsk Russian fort and of the Cordon line. This was one of three defensive lines, all of which consisted of chains of forts, which were built during the whole conflict: the Caucasian line in 1780, the Chernomorski Cordon line in 1793, and the Sunja line in 1817. With the refusal of these demands, and despite threats of bloodshed from Russian commander, General Pavel Tsitsianov, the rebel forces began threatening the Kislovodsk fort.[10] Kabardian forces pushed Russian forces commanded by General Glazenap back to Georgievsk and then besieged them, but the attackers were in turn eventually pushed back, and 80 Kabardian villages were torched as a reprisal. In October 1809, rebel forces attacked the Caucasian Line. Between 1809 and 1810, Russian reinforcements began arresting Kabardian princes for resisting colonial rule, which led many of the princes to submit to Russian control and some resistance forces to abandon the war.\nIn 1810, a Russian army under General Bulgakov destroyed 200 Circassian and Balkar villages and drove away 20,000 cattle.[11]\nAleksey Yermolov\nIn 1811, petitions were sent to St. Petersburg in Russia, appealing for the rights of Kabardian aristocrats in the occupied areas. While many other points were quickly agreed to, requests for the return of land occupied by Russian fortresses were deliberated over. Russia encouraged the loyalty of defeated Kabardian nobles with donations to the Circassian government and honorary military ranks for the aristocracy in the Russian army. Following the successes in the Russo-Persian War (1804-1813) and the resulting Treaty of Gulistan, Russia enabled itself to use a much larger portion of its army in this conflict in another part of the Caucasus. Meanwhile, on the military front, Russian forces in the Circassian region were consolidated into a new Caucasian corps in 1816 under the command of newly arrived General Aleksey Yermolov who just returned from service in the war of 1804-1813 against Persia. In May 1818, the village of Tramov was surrounded, burnt, and its inhabitants killed by Russian forces under the command of General Delpotso, who took orders from Yermolov and who then wrote to the rebel forces: \u201cThis time, I am limiting myself on this. In the future, I will have no mercy for the guilty brigands; their villages will be destroyed, properties taken, wives and children will be slaughtered.\" The Russians also constructed several more fortifications during that year.\nMilitary forces were sent into Kabardia, killing cattle and causing large numbers of inhabitants to flee into the mountains, with the land these inhabitants had once lived on being acquired for the Kuban Cossacks. The entirety of Kabardia (eastern Circassia) was now declared Russian territory.[12]\nRusso-Circassian fighting in A Scene from the Caucasian War, by Franz Roubaud (1856\u20131928)\nYermolov accelerated his efforts, with the month of March 1822 alone seeing fourteen Kabardian villages being displaced as Yermolov led expeditions into western Circassia. The construction of new defensive lines in Kabardia led to renewed uprisings, which were eventually crushed. To discourage further uprisings, the Russians granted freedom to the serfs of the lords who had led the latest uprisings. Circassia was placed under Russian military rule in 1822, with a Temporary Kabardian Court also being established.\nInvasion of western Circassia\nPrologue: Russian invades the western Circassia lands\nPainting of A.A.Kozlov, depicting feat of soldier Osipov, sacrificing themselves by leaping into a powder keg with the fire, during a Circassin massacre of a Russian Military Fort.\nA Circassian soldier\nMinor Kabardia, or western Circassia, was targeted for a new offensive by General Stal, who was given command of the Caucasian Line in 1819. In September 1820, Stal and his forces began to forcibly resettle inhabitants of western Circassia. Throughout the conflict, Russia had employed a tactic of divide and rule,[13] and following this, Yermolov instructed Stal on 1 July 1821 to encourage the Ingushes and Taugur tribes, who had previously been subjugated by the Circassians, to rise up and join the Russian efforts.\nWhile eastern Circassia was being occupied, Russia was also engaged in a war with the Turks to free the Black Sea coastline from Turkish control, and sporadic wars had also flared up with other neighbours, including the Chechens. In western Circassia, a number of tribes were dominant; the Besleneys, Abadzekhs, Ubykhs, Shapsughs, and Natkhuagias. The first of these were particularly involved in raiding Russian outposts in former eastern Circassia, or Kabardia.\nLocation of the conflict in relation to modern Russia\nThese raids continued for several years, while the Russians continued to fortify their position; constructing the Labinski defensive front in 1840, and beginning to develop a new form of scout, known as a plastun, for scouting Circassian held territory beyond such defensive positions. Russian and Circassian forces clashed repeatedly, particularly on the Kuban plains, where cavalry from both sides could manoeuvre freely.[14]\nTrade with Circassia could not be prevented, however, and both the Turks and the British supplied Circassia with firearms and ammunition with which to fight the Russians. Britain also supplied several advisors, while Turkey attempted to persuade Circassia to start a Holy War, which would draw support from other nations. In 1836, the Russian navy captured a British merchant ship supplying ammunition to the Circassians.[13][15]\nKazbech Tuguzhoko, Circassian resistance leader.\nAt this time, the current Russian Tsar, Nicholas I, ordered construction to begin on the coastline, by building fortresses at every point on the captured Black Sea coast that was able to accommodate Russian naval vessels.[16] Cape Adler was one of these locations. On 3 June 1837, Russian naval forces under the command Rear-Admiral Esmont, with troops commanded by General Volkhovski, began to head towards Cape Adler, arriving on 6 June. A Russian commander, Baron Rosen, sent a scout ship to locate a place for landing, but it was driven back by Circassian defenders.\nOn 7 June 1837, General Volkhovski landed at Cape Adler and entered a nearby forest, through which Circassian defenders had retreated after being bombarded by the Russian ships. In the dense forest, however, the Circassian defenders quietly approached the Russian positions and attacked. They were driven back, but the pursuing Russian forces ran into more Circassian defenders, and the messengers sent back for instructions were found by Circassian parties and killed. The Russians were then engaged in hand-to-hand combat with their enemy, and only after the late arrival of reinforcements managed to push the Circassians back and secure Cape Adler. Later that year, Nicholas I visited the area to see the situation for himself.\nOn 13 April 1838, Russian forces engaged the Circassian army in the estuary of River Sochi, and on 12 May 1838 the Russians landed at Tuapse. The majority of engagements during this part of the conflict took place in the form of either amphibious landings on coastal towns in accordance with the Tsar's directive to secure possible ports, or by routing out Circassian forces entrenched in mountain strongholds. At Tuapse, one of the fiercest battles of the conflict, the Russian landing had begun at 10:00 in the morning, and the Circassians were not beaten back from their positions until 5:00 in the afternoon, with the Russians suffering heavy casualties.[17][18] On the following day, 13 May, when arriving to request permission to remove their dead from the battlefield, the Circassians were lectured on the benefits of staying under Russian control by the Russian commanders, Colonel Olshevski and Lieutenant Colonel Baron Grach.[17]\nLater that year, the Russian Tsarevich Alexander III visited the Russian forces. The fall of Gunib and capture of Imam Shamil (or Schamyl),[19] a rebel religious leader, by Dmitry Milyutin in 1859, marked the final conquest of the eastern part of the North Caucasus (specifically, of Chechnya and Dagestan). This freed the Russian forces that had fought there to join the hostilities in Circassia. Between 1856 and 1859, two defensive lines were built to contain the remaining hostile tribes, the Adagumski Line and the Belorechenski Line. In May 1859, elders from the Bjedughs negotiated a peace with Russia and submitted to the Tsar, with the oath of loyalty to the Tsar being taken at assembly points beyond the Kuban River. The surviving Circassian leaders saw little chance in resisting against the economic and military superiority of Russia. Many of the remaining tribes soon submitted to the Russians, including the Abadzekhs on 20 November 1859.[20] The remaining Ubykhs were killed or forced to flee into the Ottoman Empire.[21] The Caucasian War, which had grown out of the Russian\u2013Circassian War, ended on 2 June 1864 (21 May 1864 (O.S.)), in Kbaada, a village populated by the Akhchipsou tribe of Abazins, as declared by the Tsar's manifesto. Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia, overall commander of Russian forces in the region, recognized this as the \"conquest of the Western Caucasus and the end of the Caucasian War.\"\nConsequences of the conflict\nIn response to persistent Circassian (and other Caucasian) resistance and the failure of their previous policy of building forts, the Russian military began using (first in the East, then later in the West) a strategy of disproportionate retribution for raids. With the goal of imposing stability and authority beyond their current line of control and over the whole Caucasus, Russian troops retaliated by destroying villages or any place that resistance fighters were thought to hide, as well as employing assassinations and executions of whole families.[22] Understanding that the resistance was reliant on being fed by sympathetic villages, the Russian military also systematically destroyed crops and livestock.[23] These tactics further enraged natives and intensify resistance to Russian rule. The Russians began to counter this by modifying the terrain, in both the environment and the demographics. They cleared forests by roads, destroyed native villages, and often settled new farming communities of Russians or pro-Russian Caucasian peoples. In this increasingly bloody situation, the wholesale destruction became a standard action by the Russian army and Cossack units, and was adopted by Circassians and other highland groups against Russian or pro-Russian villages.[24]\nNevertheless, the Circassian resistance continued. Villages that had previously accepted Russian rule were found resisting again, much to the ire of Russian commanders. Furthermore, the Circassian cause began to arouse sympathies in the West, especially Britain, Russia's imperial rival, and in the Crimean War they cooperated with Britain.[25]\nIn 1857, Dmitry Milyutin first published the idea of mass expulsions of Circassian natives.[26] Miliutin argued that the goal was not to simply move them so that their land could be settled by productive farmers, but rather that \"eliminating the Circassians was to be an end in itself - to cleanse the land of hostile elements\".[26][27] Tsar Alexander II endorsed the plans,[26] and Milyutin later would become the minister of war in 1861, and from the early 1860s expulsions began occurring in the Caucasus (first in the Northeast and then in the Northwest).[26][27]\nToward the end of the conflict, the Russian General Yevdokimov was tasked with driving the remaining Circassian inhabitants out of the region, primarily into the Ottoman Empire. This policy was enforced by mobile columns of Russian riflemen and Cossack cavalry.[28][29][30] \"In a series of sweeping military campaigns lasting from 1860 to 1864 . . . the northwest Caucasus and the Black Sea coast were virtually emptied of Muslim villagers. Columns of the displaced were marched either to the Kuban [River] plains or toward the coast for transport to the Ottoman Empire . . . . One after another, entire Circassian tribal groups were dispersed, resettled, or killed en masse\"[30] Such tactics had been in use for a number of years. Count Leo Tolstoy, the future author of War and Peace, saw action in the war in 1850\u201351. He described how \"It had been the custom to rush the auls [mountain villages] by night, when, taken by surprise, the women and children had no time to escape, and the horrors that ensued under the cover of darkness when the Russian soldiers made their way by twos and threes into the houses were such as no official narrator dared describe\"[31] Similar atrocities committed in the final campaign of 1859\u20131864 were recorded by contemporary Russian observers and British consuls.[30] A consul Dickson recounted in an 1864 dispatch: \"A Russian detachment having captured the village of Toobah on the Soobashi river, inhabited by about a hundred Abadzekh [a tribe of Circassians], and after these had surrendered themselves prisoners, they were all massacred by the Russian Troops. Among the victims were two women in an advanced state of pregnancy and five children. The detachment in question belongs to Count Evdokimoff's Army, and is said to have advanced from the Pshish valley. As the Russian troops gain ground on the [Black Sea] Coast, the natives are not allowed to remain there on any terms, but are compelled either to transfer themselves to the plains of the Kouban or emigrate to Turkey\".[32]\nThis expulsion, along with the actions of the Russian military in acquiring Circassian land,[6] has given rise to a movement among descendants of the expelled ethnicities for international recognition that genocide was perpetrated.[33] In 1840, Karl Friedrich Neumann estimated the Circassian casualties to be around one and a half million.[34] Some sources state that hundreds of thousands of others died during the exodus.[6] Several historians use the term 'Circassian massacres'[35] for the consequences of Russian actions in the region.[36]\nCircassian historians cite casualty figures that lie near the four million mark, while official Russian figures are near 300,000. The Russian census of 1897 records only 150,000 Circassians, one tenth of the original number, still remaining in the now conquered region.[37] In reference to the actions of the Russian army during the conflict, Russian President Boris Yeltsin stated in May 1994 that resistance to the tsarist forces was legitimate; however, he did not recognize \"the guilt of the tsarist government for the genocide.\"[38]\nCircassians have attempted to attract global media attention to the Circassian Genocide and its relation to the city of Sochi (where the Olympics will be held in 2014, on the official anniversary of the genocide) by holding mass protests in Vancouver, Istanbul and New York during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.[39][40]\nOn October 2006, the Adyghe (Circassian) organizations of many countries in North America, Europe and the Middle East sent the president of the European Parliament a letter requesting recognition of the genocide.[33][38]\nOn 20 March 2010, a Circassian [42]\nSome sources state that three million Circassians were evicted from Circassia in a period lasting until 1911.[14] Other sources cite upwards of two million Circassian refugees fleeing Circassia by 1914 and entering nations and regions such as the Balkans, Turkey, what was the Ottoman Empire in what was known as the Muhajir, Iran, the Qajar dynasty also as Muhajir, Syria, Lebanon, what is now Jordan, Kosovo, Egypt (Circassians had been part of the Mamluk armies since the Middle Ages), Israel (in the villages of Kfar Kama and Rikhaniya, since 1880) and as far afield as upstate New York and New Jersey.\nAccording to historians who support the concept of a Circassian genocide, 90 percent of people with Circassian descent now live in other countries, primarily in Turkey, Jordan and other countries of the friction between the two ethnic groups and the resulting War in Abkhazia.[6]\nMission of the Vixen\n^ McCarthy 1995:53, fn. 45\n^ a b King 2008:96\n^ a b Henze 1992\n^ a b c d e f Shenfield 1999\n^ Shenfield 1999:150\n^ Baddeley 1908:123\n^ Baddeley 1908:74\n^ a b Henze 1992.\n^ a b Karpat 1985.\n^ a b Mackie 1856:207\n^ Mackie 1856:1\n^ King, Ghost of Freedom, p47-49.

In a policy memorandum in of 1857, Dmitri Miliutin, chief-of-staff to Bariatinskii, summarized the new thinking on dealing with the northwestern highlanders. The idea, Miliutin argued, was not to clear the highlands and coastal areas of Circassians so that these regions could be settled by productive farmers...[but] Rather, eliminating the Circassians was to be an end in itself - to cleanse the land of hostile elements. Tsar Alexander II formally approved the resettlement plan...Milyutin, who would eventually become minister of war, was to see his plans realized in the early 1860s.\n^ a b L.V.Burykina.

        "raw_content": "Blacklisting exposes Trade Union Bill\u2019s folly\nBritain\u2019s blacklisting scandal, which saw thousands of construction union reps victimised or denied work for raising safety concerns, provides \u2018clear proof\u2019 of the dangers posed by the government\u2019s Trade Union Bill.\nTUC head of safety, Hugh Robertson, says the first tranche of compensation settlements \u2013 amounting to \u00a35.6m shared between 71 workers \u2013 \u201care no recompense for the thousands of ruined lives that resulted from the illegal actions of these companies, but they do show the importance of being in a union.\u201d\nWriting in the Left Foot Forward blog, he noted: \u201cWithout the support that the GMB, Unite and UCATT gave and the work they did with the incredible Blacklist Support Group, the workers would have either received nothing, or, at the very least, some token amount.\u201d He said more cases were due before the High Court in May, but added: \u201cOf course it is more than just about money.\nThe unions also want to protect future workers, which is why they are pushing for a full inquiry into blacklisting and strong laws to make sure that this scandal is never repeated. The Trade Union Bill is an attempt to stop us doing that by making it harder for us to recruit and represent members, campaign, and strike.\u201d\nHe warned that the Bill would give the Certification Officer new powers to investigate membership records, even where no complaints have been made. \u201cThis all raises concerns about the confidentiality of union membership and activism,\u201d Robertson notes.\n\u201cThe blacklisting scandal is clear proof of why we need trade unions. Workers need them to ensure they are protected and, when things go wrong, to fight for their rights against employers, through the courts and to campaign for action from governments.\n\u2018Guilty as sin\u2019 site firms try to buy silence\nVictims of a construction industry blacklist which targeted union safety activists have been awarded up to \u00a3200,000 compensation for having their working lives blighted.\nThe Mirror reports that so far 71 former bricklayers and carpenters have received \u201cfull and final settlements\u201d worth \u00a35.6m from major construction companies. Payouts averaged \u00a380,000 each, but some were as high as \u00a3200,000 to compensate workers for years when they were denied employment because they were illegally on a secret blacklist. Many were denied work on construction sites for raising health and safety issues, trade union activity or had been branded \u201ctroublemakers.\u201d\nThe construction union UCATT, which was fighting a legal battle for compensation for the workers, said the deal was a \u201cfirst significant milestone\u201d for blacklisted workers. Other cases involving hundreds of blacklisted workers are pending with the backing of the unions Unite and GMB, and the Blacklist Support Group, as well as UCATT. The defendants \u2013 Balfour Beatty, Carillion, Costain, Kier, Laing O\u2019Rourke, Sir Robert McAlpine, Skanska UK and Vinci plc \u2013 are due in court in May.\nBrian Rye, UCATT\u2019s acting general secretary, said: \u201cThis initial tranche of compensation is the first significant milestone in the battle to win justice for blacklisted workers.\u201d\nDave Smith of the Blacklist Support Group said many workers wanted the blacklisting firms to face the courts. He said the industry giants \u201cknow they are guilty as sin and are desperate to protect their corporate brand. But the millions they will be ordered to pay by the High Court will be dwarfed by the potential billions they could lose out on if banned from government and local authority contracts across Europe.\u201d\nHe added: \u201cBy covertly targeting union safety reps, these companies appear to have given themselves a competitive advantage, as implementing proper health and safety measures on major projects has obvious financial consequences. Blacklisting is a human rights scandal but it might also be viewed as a secret cartel. I\u2019m looking forward to the trial in May.\u201d\nLabour\u2019s John McDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor, commented in a statement: \u201cThe blacklisting of workers in the construction industry who raised concerns about safety is a national scandal. Those companies that caused untold suffering to thousands of honest hard working families are the unacceptable face of capitalism.\n\u201cLabour will do everything in our power to ensure that taxpayers\u2019 money is only given to companies with the highest ethical standards by ensuring that public contracts are not awarded to companies involved in serious human rights violations.\u201d",

        "title": "Our health and safety is not for sale - Hazards magazine",
        "raw_content": "Our health and safety is not for sale\nIncoming Health and Safety Executive head Dr Richard Judge is under government instruction to \u2018commercialise\u2019 the watchdog. But a Hazards campaign is urging the new chief executive to ensure the regulator uses its legal powers, people and skills to protect us at work, instead of flogging its services to all-comers.\nWhen the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) marked the 40th anniversary of the Health and Safety at Work Act in July 2014, it was bullish. HSE chair Judith Hackitt said the law \u201cmay be 40 years old but it \u2013 and our regulatory system - are world class.\u201d\nBut it is a \u201cworld class\u201d system that is being dismantled. HSE is no longer allowed to undertake preventive workplace inspections in most workplaces. Binding legal codes are being ditched in favour of non-binding guidelines. And, under a move the TUC said will \u201cmean more business for doctors - and undertakers,\u201d almost all self-employed workers will shortly find themselves outside of the scope of the law.\nTUC head of safety Hugh Robertson said \u201cwe have politicians, including the Prime Minister and Justice Secretary, declaring war on the \u2018health and safety culture\u2019, calls for Europe to reduce the level of protection of workers employed by SMEs [small and medium sized firms], the withdrawal of a range of Approved Codes of Practice and of course the removal of the threat of inspection to whole swathes of industry.\n\u201cYes, on the 40th Anniversary we need to celebrate the Act but at the same time let\u2019s make sure we are defending it. Our health, and that of future generations, needs it.\u201d\nThe union safety specialist said HSE\u2019s role was being undermined by \u201cincreasing political interference\u201d, adding there is now \u201cfar more resistance from the government to the very concept of regulation.\u201d\nWanna buy a watchdog?\nThere is worse to come for HSE, with government-driven changes going way beyond curtailing core regulatory activities. The watchdog has been told to \u201ccommercialise\u201d and peddle its services worldwide to anyone with the means to pay.\nDr Richard Judge (right), who will take over as HSE chief executive in November 2014, was handpicked for this job. The chartered engineer has no substantive experience in a regulatory role, but in his current job as head of the Insolvency Service he has experience of cherry picking and selling off the profitable bits of businesses.\nAnd in the five years prior to taking up the Insolvency Service role in July 2012, Dr Judge steered the government environment, fisheries and agriculture research agency CEFAS through its own controversial commercialisation process. One insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Hazards \u201cstaff were - and are - under great pressure to pick up research and consultancy contracts to ensure their jobs continue.\u201d\nHSE\u2019s drift into consultancy forms part of an explicit government plan to make regulators pay. Late in 2013, on the order of ministers, the first attempt to recruit an HSE chief executive was abandoned six months in, after final interviews had been conducted. The job description for the post was then re-written to emphasise the new chief\u2019s role in \u201ccommercialising\u201d the safety regulator.\nConstruction union UCATT expressed its \u201cdisgust and disquiet\u201d at a job advert for \u201ca new chief executive to help lead change in the organisation and take advantage of a range of national and international commercial opportunities.\u201d The union complained that while the job advert mentioned three times that the post holder would be expected to make the HSE more commercial, it omitted any mention of the importance of improving workplace health and safety.\nThe government had hoped the Triennial Review of HSE would give it a mandate for its HSE reforms. But when the January 2014 review findings concluded HSE was after all \u201cfit for purpose\u201d and declared \u201cunequivocal\u201d support for its regulatory role, ministers were forced to show their hand.\nAn immediate ministerial response said the government wanted to \u201cgo further\u201d, adding: \u201cThere is considerable potential for HSE to become more commercial in outlook and in delivery \u2013 increasing the pace of the work already started within the organisation.\u201d\nIn the government\u2019s June 2014 formal response to the report, then safety minister Mike Penning said: \u201cSelling our expertise abroad will not only help businesses and governments to save lives, but, as part of our long-term economic plan, will show the world we\u2019re leading the way in exporting expertise overseas.\u201d\nThe selection of Richard Judge to lead this change prompted a pre-emptive call from Unite. The union said it was looking forward to working with the new chief executive, but wanted him to stand up for safety. Unite national safety adviser Bud Hudspith said \u201cwe are calling on Dr Judge to act as chief executive and ensure more is done to protect workers.\u201d\nThe prospect of a diversion of HSE resources to money-spinning commercial activities and a further erosion of its regulatory purpose has prompted a new Hazards campaign. A print-out-and-send letter addressed to Dr Judge states \u201cwe think the government\u2019s workplace safety regulator should be using its legal powers, people and skills to protect us at work, not flogging its services to all comers to fill a government-imposed funding gap.\u201d\nThe message to HSE\u2019s new leader is simple. Please don\u2019t pimp our watchdog. HSE should be saving lives, not selling out.\nUS controversy hits UK Health and Work Service provider\nThe government\u2019s pick to run the new Health and Work Service in England and Wales is owned by a company under attack for mishandling similar contracts in the US, with allegations it has blocked access to health care and rehabilitation.\nThe Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) announced in July that the UK service will be delivered by Health Management Limited. The company, which describes itself as \u201cthe UK\u2019s leading occupational healthcare provider,\u201d is part of the US multinational MAXIMUS.\nThe firm, which already does medical assessments for the DWP\u2019s Work Programme, is used by California\u2019s state government to provide medical assessments and support for injured workers. This service came under attack from injured workers\u2019 groups at a 14 August 2014 public meeting. The Injured Workers National Network (IWNN) told Hazards that Independent Medical Review investigations conducted by the company to determine workers\u2019 compensation entitlements were \u201cpreventing injured workers from getting proper treatment.\u201d\nIt added California had given a $40m contract to MAXIMUS \u201cto make medical decisions on workers that they have not even examined.\u201d The US workers\u2019 compensation system provides the money to cover rehabilitation, medical treatment and welfare benefits for injured workers.\nDWP says under the UK service, employees on sick leave will be helped to return to work by providing them with an occupational health assessment when they reach, or are expected to reach, more than 4 weeks\u2019 sickness absence. Employees will normally be referred by their GPs. A return to work plan will then be shared with their employer and GP.\nThe service is set to be launched in late 2014 with a phased roll-out scheduled to be completed by May 2015. Minister for welfare reform Lord Freud said: \u201cProviding support where it\u2019s needed most will help to reduce the length of time employees take off sick which, in turn, will cut sick pay costs, improve economic output and reduce the chances of people falling out of work and having to claim benefits. All contributing to the government\u2019s long-term economic plan.\u201d\nUS Injured Workers National Network.\nFatalities down, work-related deaths up\nThe number of workplace fatalities in Britain fell last year to the lowest annual rate on record, but deaths overall increased markedly as asbestos cancer deaths soared.\nProvisional data released by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reveals that 133 workers were fatally injured between April 2013 and March 2014, compared with 150 in the previous year. The overall rate of fatal injury dropped to 0.44 per 100,000 workers, compared to 0.51 in 2012/13.\nBut while fatalities fell by 17, latest HSE figures for the asbestos cancer mesothelioma showed an increase of 244 deaths between 2011 and 2012, the most recent year for which figures for the asbestos cancer are available. The figures confirmed that 2,535 people died from mesothelioma in 2012, up from 2,291 in 2011. Deaths from asbestos-related lung cancer are generally thought to match or in all probability significantly exceed the mesothelioma figure, which is yet to peak.\nWorkplace fatalities in agriculture and waste and recycling fell, but increased in construction. Construction union UCATT said the provisional site deaths figure of 42 in 2013/14 was an 8 per cent increase on the previous year, when 39 construction workers suffered fatal injuries. Steve Murphy, general secretary of UCATT, said: \u201cThe rise in fatalities should send a chill through the industry and it corresponds with a very modest upturn in construction. All the previous evidence shows that as the industry gets busier deaths and accidents increase.\n\u201cThese dangers are being exacerbated by the massive cuts that the government have made to the HSE\u2019s budget and their continued attack on safety laws and regulations.\u201d He added: \u201cRather than cutting safety laws the government should be taking action to ensure that proper measures are introduced to punish employers who are prepared to risk the lives of their workers.\u201d\nDeaths in Scotland in 2013/14 were down on the previous year, from 23 to 20, but higher than in either 2010/11 or 2011/12.\n[back to main story]\nto HSE's Dr Judge\n\u2022 You wanna buy a watchdog?\n\u2022 Big sell out\n\u2022 US controversy hits UK Health and Work Service provider\n\u2022 Fatalities down, work-related deaths up\nVote to die",

        "raw_content": "What Should I Look for in a Item before Purchasing Its Resell Rights\nBefore you purchase resell rights, you need to do some research to find out whether purchasing the resell rights will be profitable for you. Not all resell rights products are worth having. First, take a look at the product itself. Is it a quality product? Even though your name is not on the product itself, your name will be associated with selling the product, and you don't want to sell junk. So, make sure that the product does what it promises, and that it is indeed of value. Next, you need to research the market.\nIs there a market for the product? An easy way to find out is to do a search in Google using keywords that potential customers would use to search for the product. Look at the sites that are advertising similar products. The sponsored ads are the ones you are interested in. People and companies do not continually spend money advertising products that are not selling. If money is being spent on advertising, then there is a market for the product.\nAlso look at related magazines to see if money is being spent on advertising. Read the license agreement before making the purchase. If it is not available to you without purchasing first, walk away. You want to check the license to make sure that you can market the product effectively, using methods that you know work. You want to know if the sales letter converts, but you also may want to make sure that you are allowed to change the sales letter as you see fit.\nAlso see if you can find out how many people are currently reselling the product. Is the market flooded? Remember that 90% of the people with resell rights either won't be reselling the product, or they don't know how to effectively market the product. After you've looked at all of these issues, and answered all of these questions, you will know whether you should purchase the resell rights product or not.

        "raw_content": "16.12.2016. There is something wrong with the media -- internationally. In Great Britain, they were unable to listen to British people who wanted to \"Brexit.\" In the US, they were unable to listen to American people who wanted Trump. And in France, they were unable to predict the victory of Fran\u00e7ois Fillon who \"unexpectedly\" won the presidential primary election of the center-right party. In each country, the media and journalists stigmatized and labeled the majority of the people -- those who wanted to Brexit, such as Trump and Fillon -- idiots and racists. So the question is: are journalists and media still people and companies paid to describe the world as it is? How did they go so wrong on such important questions? And go wrong so massively, with almost no exception? The corollary question is: are the media just playing a game? If so, what is the game? And why? Thus writes Yves Mamou in his article The Media Game: Creating the Hound Pack of the Day. He concludes as follows:\nThe problem for the media is coming: Brexit, Trump and Italy's referendum were a victory for millions of citizens from the \"working class\" against the elites, who seem to have become increasingly disconnected from them. They were also a victory for millions of people totally disconnected from the mainstream media, people liberated from \"political correctness,\" people liberated from \"ready-made answers and thinking.\" U.S. President-elect Donald Trump understood this disconnect so well that he has not even held a press conference since his victory, telling the press without a word that he does not need them. During the campaign, in fact, Trump spoke to very few from the media: He made his own media: tweeting every day, obliging the mainstream media to amplify his words. The more the lying media treating him as a liar, the more he was trusted.\nChristiane Amanpour, a CNN anchorwoman, said: \"We face an existential crisis. A threat to the very relevance and usefulness of our profession.\"\nArthur Sulzberger, publisher of the New York Times, understood quickly that empires -- and especially his empire -- can die. The day after Trump's election, he admitted the paper failed to appreciate Donald Trump's appeal:\n\"After such an erratic and unpredictable election there are inevitable questions: Did Donald Trump's sheer unconventionality lead us and other news outlets to underestimate his support among American voters?\"\nWhile insisting that his staff had \"reported on both candidates fairly,\" he also vowed that the paper would \"rededicate ourselves to the fundamental mission of Times journalism. That is to report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor.\" (It has not.)\nSulzberger also launched an appeal to the \"loyalty\" of Times subscribers -- because thousands of people abruptly cancelled their subscriptions. The disaffection with biased information is growing, and fewer and fewer people are ready to subscribe to propaganda, especially when the facts on the ground so visibly contradict it.\nDemocracy depends for its survival on journalists doing correctly the job for which they are paid: reporting facts and not stigmatizing people who do not resemble them. It is not the \"noble\" duty of journalists to prevent things from happening. Just report facts, propose analysis, and let people think for themselves.\nNew media have appeared on the internet, in the mold of Breitbart in the U.S. and Riposte La\u00efque in France -- many dozens across the U.S. and Europe. Their audiences consist of millions of readers. The mainstream media is still alive, but for how long? It had better move fast; a generation of new media is on its way.",

        "title": "HyperWar: First Offensive: The Marine Campaign for Guadalcanal",
        "raw_content": "First Offensive:\nThe Marine Campaign For Guadalcanal\nby Henry I. Shaw, Jr.\nA Marine machine gunner and his Browning .30-caliber M1917 heavy machine gun stand guard while 1st Marine Division engineers clean up in the Lunga River.\nDepartment of Defense [USMC] Photo 588741\nNational Archives Photo 80-G-34887 It was from a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress such as this that LtCol Merrill B. Twining and Maj William B. McKean reconnoitered the Watchtower target area and discovered the Japanese building an airfield on Guadalcanal.\nIn the early summer of 1942, intelligence reports of the construction of a Japanese airfield near Lunga Point on Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands triggered a demand for offensive action in the South Pacific. The leading offensive advocate in Washington was Admiral Ernest J. King, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). In the Pacific, his view was shared by Admiral Chester A. Nimitz, Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet (CinCPac), who had already proposed sending the 1st Marine Raider Battalion to Tulagi, an island 20 miles north of Guadalcanal across Sealark Channel, to destroy a Japanese seaplane base there. Although the Battle of the Coral Sea had forestalled a Japanese amphibious assault on Port Moresby, the Allied base of supply in eastern New Guinea, completion of the Guadalcanal airfield might signal the beginning of a renewed enemy advance to the south and an increased threat to the lifeline of American aid to New Zealand and Australia. On 23 July 1942. the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in Washington agreed that the line of communications in the South Pacific had to be secured. The Japanese advance had to be stopped. Thus, Operation Watchtower, the seizure of Guadalcanal and Tulagi, came into being.\nThe islands of the Solomons lie nestled in the backwaters of the South Pacific. Spanish fortune-hunters discovered them in the mid-sixteenth century, but no European power foresaw any value in the islands until Germany sought to expand its budding colonial empire more than two centuries later. In 1884, Germany proclaimed a protectorate over northern New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and the northern Solomons. Great Britain countered by establishing a protectorate over the southern Solomons and by annexing the remainder of New Guinea. In 1905, the British crown passed administrative control over all its territories in the region to Australia, and the Territory of Papua, with its capital at Port Moresby, came into being. Germany's holdings in the region fell under the administrative control of the League of Nations following World War I, with the seat of the colonial government located at Rabaul on New Britain. The Solomons lay 10 degrees below the Equator--hot, humid, and buffeted by torrential rains. The celebrated adventure novelist, Jack London, supposedly muttered: \"If I were king, the worst punishment I could inflict on my enemies would be to banish them to the Solomons.\"\nOn 23 January 1942, Japanese forces seized Rabaul and fortified it extensively. The site provided excellent harbor and numerous positions for airfields. The devastating enemy carrier and plane losses of the Battle of Midway (3-6 June 1942) had caused Imperial General Headquarters to cancel orders for the invasion of Midway, New Caledonia, Fiji, and Samoa, but plans to construct a major seaplane base at Tulagi went forward. The location offered on of the best anchorages in the South Pacific and it was strategically located: 560 miles from the New Hebrides, 800 miles from New Caledonia, and 1,000 miles from Fiji\nThe outposts at Tulagi and Guadalcanal were the forward evidences of a sizeable Japanese force in the region, beginning with the Seventeenth Army, headquartered at Rabaul. The enemy's Eighth Fleet, Eleventh Air Fleet, and 1st, 7th, 8th, and 14th Naval Base Forces also were on New Britain. Beginning on 5 August 1942, Japanese signal intelligence units began to pick up transmissions between Noumea on New Caledonia and Melbourne, Australia. Enemy analysts concluded that Vice Admiral Richard L. Ghormley, commanding the South Pacific Area (ComSoPac), was signaling a British or Australian force in preparation for an offensive in the Solomons or at New Guinea. The warnings were passed to Japanese headquarters at Rabaul and Truk, but were ignored.\nThe invasion force was indeed on its way to its targets, Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and the tiny islets of Gavutu and Tanambogo close by Tulagi's shore. The landing force was composed of Marines; the covering force and transport force were U.S. Navy with a reinforcement of Australian warships. There was not much mystery to the selection of the 1st Marine Division to make the landings. Five U.S. Army divisions were located in the South and Southwest Pacific:\nThe Pacific Areas: 1 August 1942\nthree in Australia, the 37th Infantry in Fiji, and the Americal Division on New Caledonia. None was amphibiously trained and all were considered vital parts of defensive garrisons. The 1st Marine Division, minus one of its infantry regiments, had begun arriving in New Zealand in mid-June when the division headquarters and the 5th Marines reached Wellington. At that time, the rest of the reinforced division's major units were getting ready to embark. The 1st Marines were at San Francisco, the 1st Raider Battalion was on New Caledonia, and the 3d Defense Battalion was at Pearl Harbor. The 2d Marines of the 2d Marine Division, a unit which would replace the 1st Division's 7th Marines stationed in British Samoa, was loading out from San Diego. All three infantry regiments of the landing force had battalions of artillery attached, from the 11th Marines, in the case of the 5th and 1st; the 2d Marines drew its reinforcing 75mm howitzers from the 2d Division's 10th Marines.\nThe news that his division would be the landing force for Watchtower came as a surprise to Major General Alexander A. Vandegrift, who had anticipated that the 1st Division would have six months of training in the South Pacific before it saw action. The changeover from administrative loading of the various units' supplies to combat loading, where first-needed equipment, weapons, ammunition, and rations were positioned to come off ships first with the assault troops, occasioned a never-to-be-forgotten scene on Wellington's docks. The combat troops took the place of civilian stevedores and unloaded and reloaded the cargo and passenger vessels in an increasing round of working parties, often during rainstorms which hampered the task, but the job was done. Succeeding echelons of the division's forces all got their share of labor on the docks as various shipping groups arrived and the time grew shorter. General Vandegrift was able to convince Admiral Ghormley and the Joint Chiefs that he would not be able to meet a proposed D-Day of 1 August, but the extended landing date, 7 August, did little to improve the situation.\nAn amphibious operation is a vastly complicated affair, particularly when the forces involved are assembled on short notice from all over the Pacific. The pressure that Vandegrift felt was not unique to the landing force commander. The U.S. Navy's ships were the key to success and they were scare and invaluable. Although\nA distinguished military analyst once noted that if title were awarded in America as they are in England, the commanding general of Marine Corps forces at Guadalcanal would be known simply as \"Vandegrift of Guadalcanal.\" But America does not bestow aristocratic title, and besides, such a formality would not be in keeping with the soft-spoken, modest demeanor of Alexander A. Vandegrift.\nThe man destined to lead the 1st Marine Division in America's first ground offensive operation of World War II was born in 1887 in Charlottesville, Virginia, where he grew up fascinated by his grandfather's stories of life in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. It was axiomatic that young Alexander would settle on a military career. Commissioned a Marine lieutenant in 1909, Vandegrift received an early baptism of fire in 1912 during the bombardment, assault, and capture of Coyotepe in Nicaragua. Two years later he participated in the capture and occupation of Vera Cruz. Vandegrift would spend the greater part of the next decade in Haiti, where he fought Caco bandits, and served as a inspector of constabulary with the Gendarmerie d'Haiti. It was in Haiti that he met and was befriended by Marine Colonel Smedley D. Butler, who called him \"Sunny Jim.\" The lessons of these formative years fighting an elusive enemy in a hostile jungle environment were not lost upon the young Marine officer.\nHe spent the next 18 years in various posts and stations in the United States, along with two tours of China duty at Peiping and Tientsin. Prior to Pearl Harbor, Vandegrift was appointed assistant to the Major General Commandant, and in April 1940 received the single star of a brigadier general. He was detached to the 1st Marine Division in November 1941, and in May 1942 sailed for the South Pacific as commanding general of the first Marine division ever to leave the United States. On 7 August 1942, after exhorting his Marines with the reminder that \"God favors the bold and strong of heart,\" he led the 1st Marine Division ashore in the Solomons Islands in the first large-scale offensive action against the Japanese.\nHis triumph at Guadalcanal earned General Vandegrift the Medal of Honor, the Navy Cross, and the praise of a grateful nation. In July 1943 he took command of I Marine Amphibious Corps and planned the landing at Empress Augusta Bay, Bougainville, Northern Solomons, on 1 November 1943. He then was recalled to Washington, to become the Eighteenth Commandant of the Marine Corps.\nOn 1 January 1944, as a lieutenant general, Vandegrift was sworn in as Commandant. On 4 April 1945 he was promoted to general, and thus became the first Marine officer on active duty to attain four-star rank.\nIn the final stages of the war, General Vandegrift directed an elite force approaching half-a-million men and women, with its own aviation force. Comparing his Marines with the Japanese, he noted that the Japanese soldier \"was trained to go to a place, stay there, fight and die. We train our men to go to a place, fight to win, and to live. I can assure you, it is a better theory.\"\nAfter the war, Vandegrift fought another battle, this time in the halls of Congress, with the stakes being the survival of the Marine Corps. His counter-testimony during Congressional hearings of the spring of 1946 was instrumental in defeating initial attempts to merge or \"unify\" the U.S. Armed Forces. Although his term as Commandant ended on 31 December 1947, General Vandegrift would live to see passage of Public Law 416, which preserved the Corps and its historic mission. His official retirement date of 1 April 1949 ended just over 40 years of service.\nGeneral Vandegrift outlived both his wife Mildred and their only son, Colonel Alexander A. Vandegrift, Jr., who fought in World War II and Korea. He spent most of his final years in Delray, Florida. He died on 8 May 1973. -- Robert V. Aquilina\nthe Battles of Coral Sea and Midway had badly damaged the Japanese fleet's offensive capabilities and crippled its carrier forces, enemy naval aircraft could fight as well ashore as afloat and enemy warships were still numerous and lethal. American losses at Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, and Midway were considerable, and Navy admirals were well aware that the ships they commanded were in short supply. The day was coming when America's shipyards and factories would fill the seas with warships of all types, but that day had not arrived in 1942. Calculated risk was the name of the game where the Navy was concerned, and if the risk seemed too great, the Watchtower landing force might be a casualty. As it happened, the Navy never ceased to risk its ships in the waters of the Solomons, but the naval lifeline to the troops ashore stretched mighty thin at times.\nTactical command of the invasion force approaching Guadalcanal in early August was vested in Vice Admiral Frank J. Fletcher as Expeditionary Force Commander (Task Force 61). His force consisted of the amphibious shipping carrying the 1st Marine Division, under Rear Admiral Richmond K. Turner, and the Air Support Force led by Rear Admiral Leigh Noyes. Admiral Ghormley contributed land-based air forces commanded by Rear Admiral John S. McCain. Fletcher's support force consisted of three fleet carriers, the Saratoga (CV-3), Enterprise (CV-6), and Wasp (CV-7); the battleship North Carolina (BB-55), 6 cruisers, 16 destroyers, and 3 oilers. Admiral Turner's covering force included five cruisers and nine destroyers.\nThe Landing and August Battles\nOn board the transports approaching the Solomons, the Marines were looking for a tough fight. They knew little about the targets, even less about their opponents. Those maps that were available were poor, constructions based upon outdated hydrographic charts and information provided by former island residents. While maps based on aerial photographs had been prepared they were misplaced by the Navy in Auckland, New Zealand, and never got to the Marines at Wellington.\nOn 17 July, a couple of division staff officers, Lieutenant Colonel Merrill B. Twining and Major William McKean, had been able to join the crew of a B-17 flying from Port Moresby on a reconnaissance mission over Guadalcanal. They reported what they had seen, and their analysis, coupled with aerial photographs, indicated no extensive defenses along the beaches of Guadalcanal's north shore.\nThis news was indeed welcome. The division intelligence officer (G-2), Lieutenant Colonel Frank B.

Plans to change this uniform had been underway for at least one year prior to the opening of hostilities.\nAs had the Army, the Marine Corps had used a loose-fitting blue denim fatigue uniform for work details and some field exercises since the 1920s. This fatigue uniform was either a one-piece coverall or a two-piece bib overall and jacket, both with \"USMC\" metal buttons. In June 1940, it was replaced by a green cotton coverall. This uniform and the summer field uniform were replaced by what would become known as the utility uniform. Approved for general issues on the Marine Corps' 166th birthday, 10 November 1941, this new uniform was made of sage-green (although \"olive drab\" was called for in the specifications) herring-bone twill cotton, then a popular material for civilian work clothing. The two-piece uniform consisted of a coat (often referred to as a \"jacket\" by Marines) and trousers. In 1943, a cap made of the same material would be issued.\nThe loose-fitting coat was closed down the front by four two-piece rivetted bronze-finished steel buttons, each bearing the words \"U.S. MARINE CORPS\" in relief. The cuffs were closed by similar buttons. Two large patch pockets were sewn on the front skirts of the jacket and a single patch pocket was stitched to the left breast. This pocket had the Marine Corps eagle, globe, and anchor insignia and the letters \"USMC\" stencilled on it in black ink. The trousers, worn with and without the khaki canvas leggings, had two slashed front pockets and two rear patch pockets.\nThe new uniform was issued to the flood of new recruits crowding the recruit depots in the early months of 1942 and was first worn in combat during the landings on Guadalcanal in August 1942. This uniform was subsequently worn by Marines of all arms from the Solomons Campaign to the end of the war. Originally, the buttons on the coat and the trousers were all copper-plated, but an emergency alternate specification was approved on 15 August 1942, eight days after the landing on Guadalcanal, which allowed for a variety of finishes on the buttons. Towards the end of the war, a new \"modified\" utility uniform which had been developed after Tarawa was also issued, in addition to a variety of camouflage uniforms. All of these utility uniforms, along with Army-designed M1 helmets and Marine Corps-designed cord and rubber-soled rough-side-out leather \"boondocker\" shoes, would be worn throughout the war in the Pacific, during the postwar years, and into the Korean War.--Kenneth L. Smith-Christmas\nJapanese occupied Guadalcanal and Tulagi. Admiral Turner's staff figured that the Japanese amounted to 7,125 men. Admiral Ghormley's intelligence officer pegged the enemy strength at 3,100--closest to the 3,457 actual total of Japanese troops; 2,571 of these were stationed on Guadalcanal and were mostly laborers working on the airfield.\nTo oppose the Japanese, the Marines had an overwhelming superiority of men. At the time, the tables of organization for a Marine Corps division indicated a total of 19,514 officers and enlisted men, including naval medical and engineer (Seabee) units. Infantry regiments numbered 3,168 and consisted of a headquarters company, a weapons company, and three battalions. Each infantry battalion (933 Marines) was organized into a headquarters company (89), a weapons company (273), and three rifle companies (183). The artillery regiment had 2,581 officers and men organized into three 75mm pack howitzer battalions and one 105mm howitzer battalion. A light tank battalion, a special weapons battalion of antiaircraft and antitank guns, and a parachute battalion added combat power. An engineer regiment (2,452 Marines) with battalions of engineers, pioneers, and Seabees, provided a hefty combat and service element. The total was rounded out by division headquarters battalion's headquarters, signal, and military police companies and the division's service troops--service, motor transport, amphibian tractor, and medical battalions. For Watchtower, the 1st Raider Battalion and the 3d Defense Battalion had been added to Vandegrift's command to provide more infantrymen and much needed coast defense and antiaircraft guns and crews.\nUnfortunately, the division's heaviest ordnance had been left behind in\nEnroute to Guadalcanal, RAdm Richmond Kelly Turner, commander of the Amphibious Force, and MajGen Alexander A.

Limited ships' space and time meant that the division's big guns, a 155mm howitzer battalion, and all the motor transport battalion's two-and-a-half-ton trucks were not loaded. Colonel Pedro A. del Valle, commanding the 11th Marines, was unhappy at the loss of his heavy howitzers and equally distressed that essential sound and flash-ranging equipment necessary for effective counterbattery fire was left behind. Also failing to make the cut in the battle for shipping space, were all spare clothing, bedding rolls, and supplies necessary to support the reinforced division beyond 60 days of combat. Ten days supply of ammunition for each of the division's weapons remained in New Zealand.\nIn the opinion of the 1st Division's historian and a veteran of the landing, the men on the approaching transports \"thought they'd have a bad time getting ashore.\" They were confident, certainly, and sure that they could not be defeated, but most of the men were entering combat for the first time. There were combat veteran officers and noncommissioned officers (NCOs) throughout the division, but the majority of the men were going into their initial battle. The commanding officer of the 1st Marines, Colonel Clifton B. Cates, estimated that 90 percent of his men had enlisted after Pearl Harbor. The fabled 1st Marine Division of later World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, and Persian Gulf War fame, the most highly decorated division in the U.S. Armed Forces, had not yet established its reputation.\nThe convoy of ships, with its outriding protective screen of carriers, reached Koro in the Fiji Islands on 26 July. Practice landings did little more than exercise the transports' landing craft, since reefs precluded an actual beach landing. The rendezvous at Koro did give the senior commanders a chance to have a face-to-face meeting. Fletcher, McCain, Turner, and Vandegrift got together with Ghormley's chief of staff, Rear Admiral Callaghan, who notified the conferees that ComSoPac had ordered the 7th Marines on Samoa to be prepared to embark on four days notice as a reinforcement for Watchtower. To this decidedly good news, Admiral Fletcher added some bad news. In view of the threat from enemy land-based air, he could not \"keep the carriers in the area for more than 48 hours after the landing.\" Vandegrift protested that he needed at least four days to get the division's gear ashore, and Fletcher reluctantly agreed to keep his carriers at risk another day.\nOn the 28th the ships sailed from the Fijis, proceeding as if they were headed for Australia. At noon on 5 August, the convoy and its escorts turned north for the Solomons. Undetected by the Japanese, the assault force reached its target during the night of 6-7 August and split into two landing groups, Transport Division X-Ray, 15 transports heading for the north shore of Guadalcanal east of Lunga Point, and Transport Division Yoke, eight transports headed for Tulagi, Gavutu, Tanambogo, and the nearby Florida Island, which loomed over the smaller islands.\nVandegrift's plans for the landings would put two of his infantry regiments (Colonel LeRoy P. Hunt's 5th Marines and Colonel Cates' 1st Marines) ashore on both sides of the Lunga River prepared to attack inland to seize the airfield. The 11th Marines, the 3d Defense Battalion, and most of the division's supporting units would also land near the Lung, prepared to exploit the beachhead. Across the 20 miles of Sealark Channel, the division's assistant commander, Brigadier General William H. Rupertus, led the assault forces slated to take Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanambogo: the 1st Raider Battalion (Lieutenant Colonel Merritt A. Edson); the 2d Battalion, 5th Marines (Lieutenant Colonel Harold E. Rosecrans); and the 1st Parachute Battalion (Major Robert H. Williams). Company A of the 2d Marines would reconnoiter the nearby shores of Florida Island and the rest of Colonel John A. Arthur's regiment would stand by in reserve to land where needed.\nAs the ships slipped through the\nchannels on either side of rugged Savo Island, which split Sealark near its western end, heavy clouds and dense rain blanketed the task force. Later the moon came out and silhouetted the islands. On board his command ship, Vandegrift wrote to his wife: \"Tomorrow morning at dawn we land in our first major offensive of the war. Our plans have been made and God grant that our judgement has been sound ... whatever happens you'll know I did my best. Let us hope that best will be good enough.\"\nAt 0641 on 7 August, Turner signalled his ships to \"land the landing force.\" Just 28 minutes before, the heavy cruiser Quincy (CA-39) had begun shelling the landing beaches at Guadalcanal. The sun came up that fateful Friday at 0650, and the first landing craft carrying assault troops of the 5th Marines touched down at 0909 on Red Beach. To the men's surprise (and relief), no Japanese appeared to resist the landing. Hunt immediately moved his assault troops off the beach and into the surrounding jungle, waded the steep-banked Ilu River, and headed for the enemy airfield. The following 1st Marines were able to cross the Ilu on a bridge the engineers had hastily thrown up with an amphibian tractor bracing its middle. The silence was eerie and the absence of opposition was worrisome to me riflemen. The Japanese troops, most of whom were Korean laborers, had fled to the west, spooked by a week's B-17 bombardment, the pre-assault naval gunfire, and the sight of the ships offshore. The situation was not the same across Sealark. The Marines on Guadalcanal could hear faint rumbles of a firefight across the waters.\nThe Japanese on Tulagi were special naval landing force sailors and they had no intention of giving up what they held without a vicious, no-surrender battle. Edson's men landed first, followed by Rosecrans' battalion, hitting Tulagi's south coast and moving inland towards the ridge which ran lengthwise through the island. The battalions encountered pockets of resistance in the undergrowth of the island's thick vegetation and maneuvered to outflank and overrun the opposition. The advance of the Marines was steady but casualties were frequent. By nightfall, Edson had reached the former British residency overlooking Tulagi's harbor and dug in for the night across a hill that overlooked the Japanese final position, a ravine on the island's southern tip. The 2d Battalion, 5th Marines, had driven through to the northern shore, cleaning its sector of enemy; Rosecrans moved into position\nMajGen Alexander A.

Though heavily used, the bridge held up.\nPhotographed immediately after a prelanding strike by USS Enterprise aircraft flown by Navy pilots, Tanambogo and Gavutu Islands lie smoking and in ruins in the morning sun.

Despite naval gunfire and close air support hitting the enemy emplacements, Japanese opposition from caves proved to be serious obstacles for attacking Marines.\nto back up the raiders. By the end of its first day ashore, 2d Battalion had lost 56 men killed and wounded; 1st Raider Battalion casualties were 99 Marines.\nThroughout the night, the Japanese swarmed from hillside caves in four separate attacks, trying to penetrate the raider lines. They were unsuccessful and most died in the attempts. At dawn, the 2d Battalion, 2d Marines, landed to reinforce the attackers and by the afternoon of 8 August, the mop-up was completed and the battle for Tulagi was over.\nThe fight for tiny Gavutu and Tanambogo, both little more than small hills rising out of the sea, connected by a hundred-yard causeway, was every bit as intense as that on Tulagi. The area of combat was much smaller and the opportunities for fire support from offshore ships and carrier planes was severely limited once the Marines had landed. After naval gunfire from the light cruiser San Juan (CL-54) and two destroyers, and a strike by F4F Wildcats flying from the Wasp, the 1st Parachute Battalion landed near noon in three waves, 395 men in all, on Gavutu. The Japanese, secure in cave positions, opened fire on the second and third waves, pinning down the first Marines ashore on the beach. Major Williams took a bullet in the lungs and was evacuated; 32 Marines were killed in the withering enemy fire. This time, 2d Marines reinforcements were really needed; the 1st Battalion's Company B landed on Gavutu and attempted to take Tanambogo; the attackers were driven to ground and had to pull back to Gavutu.\nAfter a rough night of close-in fighting with the defenders of both islands, the 3d Battalion, 2d Marines, reinforced the men already ashore and mopped up on each island. The toll of Marines dead on the three islands was 144; the wounded numbered 194. The few Japanese who survived the battles fled to Florida Island, which had been scouted by the 2d Marines on D-Day and found clear of the enemy.\nThe Marines' landings and the concentration of shipping in Guadalcanal waters acted as a magnet to the Japanese at Rabaul. At Admiral Ghormley's headquarters, Tulagi's radio was heard on D-Day \"frantically calling for [the] dispatch of surface\nLVT(1) -- The 'Amtrac'\nWhile the Marine Corps was developing amphibious warfare doctrine during the 1920s and 1930s, it was apparent that a motorized amphibian vehicle was needed to transport men and equipment from ships across fringing reefs and beaches into battle, particularly when the beach was defended.\nIn 1940, the Marines adopted the Landing Vehicle, Tracked (1), designed by Donald Roebling. More commonly known as the \"amtrac\" (short for amphibian tractor), the LVT(1) had a driver's cab in front and a small engine compartment in the rear, with the bulk of the body used for carrying space. During the next three years, 1,225 LVT(1)s were built, primarily by the Food Machinery Corporation.\nThe LVT(1) was constructed of welded steel and was propelled on both land and water by paddle-type treads. Designed solely as a supply vehicle, it could carry 4,500 pounds of cargo. In August 1942, the LVT(1) first saw combat on Guadalcanal with the 1st Amphibian Tractor Battalion, 1st Marine Division. Throughout the Solomon Islands campaigns, the LVT(1) provided Marines all types of logistical support, moving thousands of tons of supplies to the front lines. At times they also were pressed into tactical use: moving artillery pieces, holding defensive positions, and occasionally supporting Marines in the attack with their machine guns. They also were used as pontoons to support bridges across Guadalcanal rivers.\nThe LVT proved to be more seaworthy than a boat of comparable size; it was able to remain afloat with its entire cargo hold full of water. However, defects in the design soon became apparent. The paddle treads on the tracks and the rigid suspension system were both susceptible to damage when driven on land and did not provide the desired speeds on land or water. Although the LVT(1) performed admirably against undefended beachheads, its lack of armor made it unsuitable for assaults against the heavily defended islands of the central Pacific. This weakness was apparent during the fighting in the Solomon Islands, but LVT(1)s with improvised armor were still in use at the assault on Tarawa, where 75 percent of them were lost in three days.\nThe LVT(1) proved its value and validated the amphibious vehicle concept through the great versatility and mobility it demonstrated throughout numerous campaigns in the Pacific. Although intended solely for supply purposes, it was thrust into combat use in early war engagements. In its initial role as a support vehicle, the LVT(1) delivered ammunition, supplies and reinforcements that made the difference between victory and defeat.--Second Lieutenant Wesley L. Feight, USMC\nforces to the scene\" and designating transports and carriers as targets for heavy bombing. The messages were sent in plain language, emphasizing the plight of the threatened garrison. And the enemy response was prompt and characteristic of the months of naval air and surface attack to come.\nAt 1030 on 7 August, an Australian coastwatcher hidden in the hills of the islands north of Guadalcanal signalled that a Japanese air strike composed of heavy bombers, light bombers, and fighters was headed for the island. Fletcher's pilots, whose carriers were positioned 100 miles south of Guadalcanal, jumped the approaching planes 20 miles northwest of the landing areas before they could disrupt the operation. But the Japanese were not daunted by the setback; other planes and ships were enroute to the inviting target.\nOn 8 August, the Marines consolidated their positions ashore, seizing the airfield on Guadalcanal and establishing a beachhead. Supplies were being unloaded as fast as landing craft could make the turnaround from ship to shore, but the shore\nMarine Corps Personal Paper Collection\nImmediately after assault troops cleared the beachhead and moved inland, supplies and equipment, inviting targets for enemy bombers, began to litter the beach.\nparty was woefully inadequate to handle the influx of ammunition, rations, tents, aviation gas, vehicles--all gear necessary to sustain the Marines. The beach itself became a dumpsite. And almost as soon as the initial supplies were landed, they had to be moved to positions nearer Kukum village and Lunga Point within the planned perimeter. Fortunately, the lack of Japanese ground opposition enabled Vandegrift to shift the supply beaches west to a new beachhead.\nJapanese bombers did penetrate the American fighter screen on 8 August. Dropping their bombs from 20,000 feet or more to escape antiaircraft fire, the enemy planes were not very accurate. They concentrated on the ships in the channel, hitting and damaging a number of them and sinking the destroyer Jarvis (DD-393). In their battles to turn back the attacking planes, the carrier fighter squadrons lost 21 Wildcats on 7-8 August.\nThe primary Japanese targets were the Allied ships. At this time, and for a thankfully and unbelievably long time to come, the Japanese commanders at Rabaul grossly underestimated the strength of Vandegrift's forces. They thought the Marine landings constituted a reconnaissance in force, perhaps 2,000 men, on Guadalcanal. By the evening of 8 August, Vandegrift had 10,900 troops ashore on Guadalcanal and another 6,075 on Tulagi. Three infantry regiments had landed and each had a supporting 75mm pack howitzer battalion--the 2 and 3d Battalions, 11th Marines on Guadalcanal, and the 3d Battalion, 10th Marines on Tulagi. The 5th Battalion, 11th Marines' 105mm howitzers were in general support.\nThat night a cruiser-destroyer force of the Imperial Japanese Navy reacted to the American invasion with a stinging response. Admiral Turner had positioned three cruiser-destroyer groups to bar the Tulagi-Guadalcanal approaches. At the Battle of Savo, the Japanese demonstrated their superiority in night fighting at this stage of the war, shattering two of Turner's covering forces without loss to themselves. Four heavy cruisers went to the bottom--three American, one Australian--and another lost her bow. As the sun came up over what soon would be called \"Ironbottom Sound,\" Marines watched grimly as Higgins boats swarmed out to rescue survivors. Approximately 1,300 sailors died that night and another 700 suffered wounds or were badly burned. Japanese casualties numbered less than 200 men.\nThe Japanese suffered damage to only one ship in the encounter, the cruiser Chokai. The American cruisers Vincennes (CA-44), Astoria (CA-34), and Quincy (CA-39) went to the bottom, as did the Australian Navy's HMAS Canberra, so critically damaged that she had to be sunk by American torpedoes. Both the cruiser Chicago (CA-29) and destroyer Talbot (DD-114) were badly damaged. Fortunately for the Marines ashore, the Japanese force--five heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, and a destroyer--departed before dawn without attempting to disrupt the landing further.\nWhen the attack-force leader, Vice Admiral Gunichi Mikawa, returned to Rabaul, he expected to receive the accolades of his superiors. He did get those, but he also found himself the subject of criticism. Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the Japanese fleet commander, chided his subordinate for failing to attack the transports. Mikawa could only reply, somewhat lamely, that he did not know Fletcher's aircraft carriers were so far away from Guadalcanal. Of equal significance to the Marines on the beach, the Japanese naval victory caused celebrating superiors in Tokyo to allow the event to overshadow the\nU.S. 105mm Howitzer\nimportance of the amphibious operation.\nThe disaster prompted the American admirals to reconsider Navy support for operations ashore. Fletcher feared for the safety of his carriers; he had already lost about a quarter of his fighter aircraft. The commander of the expeditionary force had lost a carrier at Coral Sea and another at Midway. He felt he could not risk the loss of a third, even if it meant leaving the Marines on their own. Before the Japanese cruiser attack, he obtained Admiral Ghormley's permission to withdraw from the area.\nAt a conference on board Turner's flagship transport, the McCawley, on the night of 8 August, the admiral told General Vandegrift that Fletcher's impending withdrawal meant that he would have to pull out the amphibious force's ships. The Battle of Savo Island reinforced the decision to get away before enemy aircraft, unchecked by American interceptors, struck. On 9 August, the transports withdrew to Noumea. The unloading of supplies ended abruptly, and ships still half-full steamed away. The forces ashore had 17 days' rations--after counting captured Japanese food--and only four days' supply of ammunition for all weapons. Not only did the ships take away the rest of the supplies, they also took the Marines still on board, including the 2d Marines' headquarters element. Dropped off at the island of Espiritu Santo in the New Hebrides, the infantry Marines and their commander, Colonel Arthur, were most unhappy and remained so until they finally reached Guadalcanal on 29 October.\nWhen ships carrying barbed wire and engineering tools needed ashore were forced to leave the Guadalcanal area because of enemy air and surface threats, Marines had to prepare such hasty field expedients as this cheval de frise of sharpened stakes.\nDepartment of Defense (USMC) Photo 5157\nAshore in the Marine beachheads, General Vandegrift ordered rations reduced to two meals a day. The reduced food intake would last for six weeks, and the Marines would become very familiar with Japanese canned fish and rice. Most of the Marines smoked and they were soon disgustedly smoking Japanese-issue brands. They found that the separate paper filters that came with the cigarettes were necessary to keep the fast-burning tobacco from scorching their lips. The retreating ships had also hauled away empty sand bags and valuable engineer tools. So the Marines used Japanese shovels to fill Japanese rice bags with sand to strengthen their defensive positions.\nThe Marines dug in along the beaches between the Tenaru and the ridges west of Kukum. A Japanese counter-landing was a distinct possibility. Inland of the beaches, defensive gun pits and foxholes lined the west bank of the Tenaru and crowned the hills that faced west toward the Matanikau River and Point Cruz. South of the airfield where densely jungled ridges and ravines abounded, the beachhead perimeter was guarded by outposts and these were manned in large part by combat support troops. The engineer, pioneer, and amphibious tractor battalion all had their positions on the front line. In fact, any Marine with a rifle, and that was virtually every Marine, stood night defensive duty. There was no place within the perimeter that could be counted safe from enemy infiltration.\nAlmost as Turner's transports sailed away, the Japanese began a pattern of harassing air attacks on the beachhead. Sometimes the raids came during the day, but the 3d Defense Battalion's 90mm antiaircraft guns forced the bombers to fly too high for effective bombing. The erratic pattern of bombs, however, meant that no place was safe near the airfield, the preferred target, and no place could claim it was bomb-free.\nU.S. 90mm Antiaircraft Gun\nGeneral Vandegrift and His 1st Marine Division Staff\nWhenever a work about the Guadalcanal operation is published, one of the pictures always included is that of Major General Alexander A. Vandegrift, 1st Marine Division commanding general, and his staff officers and commanders, who posed for the photograph on 11 August 1942, just four days after the assault landings on the island. Besides General Vandegrift, there are 40 Marines and one naval officer in this picture, and each one deserves a pages of his own in Marine Corps history.\nAmong the Marines, 23 were promoted to general officer rank and three became Commandants of the Marine Corps: General Vandegrift and Colonels Cates and Pate. The naval officer, division surgeon Commander Warwick T. Brown, MC, USN, also made flag officer rank while on active duty and was promoted to vice admiral upon retirement.\nFour of the officers in the picture served in three wars. Lieutenant Colonels Gerald C. Thomas, division operations officer, and Randolph McC. Pate, division logistics officer, served in both World Wars I and II, and each commanded the 1st Marine Division in Korea. Colonel William J. Whaling similarly served in World Wars I and II, and was General Thomas' assistant division commander in Korea. Major Henry W. Buse, Jr., assistant operations officer, served in World War II, Korea, and the Vietnam War. Others served in two wars--World Wars I and II, or World War II and Korea. Represented in the photograph is a total of nearly 700 years of cumulative experience on active Marine Corps service.\nThree key members of the division--the Assistant Division Commander, Brigadier General William H. Rupertus; the Assistant Chief of Staff, G-1, Colonel Robert C. Kilmartin, Jr.; and the commanding officer of the 1st Raider Battalion, Lieutenant Colonel Merritt A. Edson--were not in this picture for a good reason. They were on Tulagi, where Rupertus headed the Tulagi Command Group with Kilmartin as his chief of staff, and Edson commanded the combat troops. Also notably absent from this photograph was the commander of the 7th Marines, Colonel James C. Webb, who had not joined the division from Samoa, where the regiment had been sent before the division deployed overseas.\nIn his memoir, Once a Marine, General Vandegrift explained why this photograph was taken. The division's morale was affected by the fact that Vice Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher was forced to withdraw his fleet from the area--with many of his ships not yet fully unloaded and holding more than half of the division's supplies still needed ashore. Adding to the Marines' uneasiness at seeing their naval support disappear below the horizon, was the fact that they had been under almost constant enemy air attacks beginning shortly after their landing on Guadalcanal. In an effort to counter the adverse influence on morale of the day and night air attacks, Vandegrift began making tours of the division perimeter every morning to talk to as many of his Marines as possible, and to keep a personal eye on the command. As he noted:\nBy August 11, the full impact of the vanished transports was permeating the command, so again I called a conference of my staff and command officers ... I ended the conference by posing with this fine group of officers, a morale device that worked because they thought if I went to the trouble of having the picture taken then I obviously planned to enjoy it in future years.\nRecently, General Merill B. \"Bill\" Twining, on Guadalcanal a lieutenant colonel and assistant D-3, recalled the circumstances of the photograph and philosophized about the men who appeared in it:\nThe group is lined up on the slope of the coral ridge which provided a degree of protection from naval gunfire coming from the north and was therefore selected as division CP ...\nThere was no vital reason for the conclave. I think V[andegrift] just wanted to see who was in his outfit. Do you realize these people had never been together before? Some came from as far away as Iceland...\nV[andegrift] mainly introduced himself, gave a brief pep talk ... I have often been asked how we could afford to congregate all this talent in the face of the enemy. We didn't believe we (at the moment) faced any threat from the Japanese. The defense area was small and every responsible commander could reach his CP in 5 minutes and after all there were a lot of good people along those lines. Most of the fresh-caught second lieutenants were battalion commanders two years later. We believed in each other and trusted.\n--Benis M.

The nightly visitors, whose planes' engines were soon well known sounds, won the singular title \"Washington machine Charlie,\" at first, and later, \"Louie the Louse,\" when their presence heralded Japanese shore bombardment. Technically, \"Charlie\" was a twin-engine night bomber from Rabaul. \"Louie\" was a cruiser float plane that signalled the harassed Marines used the names interchangeably.\nEven though most of the division's heavy engineering equipment had disappeared with the Navy's transports, the resourceful Marines soon completed the airfield's runway with captured Japanese gear. On 12 August Admiral McCain's aide piloted a PBY-5 Catalina flying boat and bumped to a halt on what was now officially Henderson Field, named for a Marine pilot, Major Lofton R. Henderson, lost at Midway. The Navy officer pronounced the airfield fit for fighter use and took off with a load of wounded Marines, the first of 2,879 to be evacuated. Henderson Field was the centerpiece of Vandegrift's strategy; he would hold it at all costs.\nAlthough it was only 2,000 feet long and lacked a taxiway and adequate drainage, the tiny airstrip, often riddled with potholes and rendered\nOf his watercolor painting \"Instructions to a Patrol,\" Capt Donald L.

Dickson, USMCR\nunusable because of frequent, torrential downpours, was essential to the success of the landing force. With it operational, supplies could be flown in and wounded flown out. At least in the Marines' minds, Navy ships ceased to be the only lifeline for the defenders.\nWhile Vandegrift's Marines dug in east and west of Henderson Field, Japanese headquarters in Rabaul planned what it considered an effective response to he American offensive. Misled by intelligence estimates that the Marines numbered perhaps 2,000 men, Japanese staff officers believed that a modest force quickly sent could overwhelm the invaders.\nOn 12 August, CinCPac determined that a sizable Japanese force was massing at Truk to steam to the Solomons and attempt to eject the Americans. Ominously, the group included the heavy carriers Shokaku and Zuikaku and the light carrier Ryujo. Despite the painful losses at Savo Island, the only significant increases to American naval forces in the Solomons was the assignment of a new battleship, the South Dakota (BB-57).\nImperial General Headquarters in Tokyo had ordered Lieutenant General Haruyoshi Hyakutake's Seventeenth Army to attack the Marine perimeter. For his assault force, Hyakutake chose the 35th Infantry Brigade (Reinforced), commanded by Major General Kiyotake Kawaguchi. At the time, Kawaguchi's main force was in the Palaus. Hyakutake selected a crack infantry regiment--the 28th--commanded by Colonel Kiyono Ichiki to land first. Alerted for its mission while it was at Guam, the Ichiki Detachment assault echelon, one battalion of 900 men, was transported to the Solomons on the only shipping available, six destroyers. As a result the troops carried just small amounts of ordnance and supplies. A follow-on echelon of 1,200 of Ichiki's troops was to join the assault battalion on Guadalcanal.\nThe Coastwatchers\nCoastwatcher Capt W.F. Martin Clemens, British Solomon Islands Defense Force, poses with some of his constabulary.\nNational Archives Photo 80-G-17080 courtesy of Richard Frank\nA group of fewer than 1,500 native Coastwatchers served as the eyes and ears of Allied forces in reporting movements of Japanese units on the ground, in the air, and at sea.\nOften performing their jobs in remote jungle outposts, the Coastwatchers were possessed of both mental and physical courage. Their knowledge of the geography and peoples of the Pacific made them invaluable additions to the Allied war effort.\nThe concept for this service originated in 1919 in a proposal by the Royal Australian Navy to form a civilian coastwatching organization to provide early warning in the event of an invasion. By the outbreak of war in September 1939, approximately 800 persons were serving as coastwatchers, operating observation posts mainly on the Australian coast. They were, at the outset, government officials aided by missionaries and planters who, as war with Japan neared, were placed under the control of the intelligence section of the Australian Navy.\nBy 1942, the system of coastwatchers and the accompanying intelligence network covered an area of 500,000 square miles, and was placed under the control of the Allied Intelligence Bureau (AIB). The AIB coordinated Allied intelligence activities in the southwest Pacific, and had as its initial principal mission the collection of all possible information about the enemy in the vicinity of Guadalcanal.\nCoastwatchers proved extremely useful to U.S. Marine forces in providing reports on the number and movement of Japanese troops. Officers from the 1st Marine Division obtained accurate information on the location of enemy forces in their objective areas, and were provided vital reports on approaching Japanese bombing raids. On 8 August 1942, Coastwatcher Jack Reed on Bougainville alerted American forces to an upcoming raid by 40 Japanese bombers, which resulted in 36 of the enemy planes being destroyed. The \"early warning system\" provided by the Coastwatchers helped Marine forces on Guadalcanal to hold onto the Henderson Field airstrip.\nThe Coastwatchers also rescued and sheltered 118 Allied pilots, including Marines, during the Solomons Campaign, often at the immediate risk of their own lives. Pipe-smoking Coastwatcher Reed also was responsible for coordinating the evacuation on Bougainville of four nuns and 25 civilians by the U.S. submarine Nautilus.\nIt is unknown exactly how many Coastwatchers paid the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of their duties. Many died in anonymity, without knowledge of the contribution their services had made to final victory. Perhaps they would be gratified to know that no less an authority than Admiral William F. Halsey recorded that the Coastwatchers saved Guadalcanal, and Guadalcanal saved the Pacific.--Robert V. Aquilina\nOn 20 August, the first Marine Corps aircraft such as this F4F Grumman Wildcat landed on Henderson Field to begin combat air operations against the Japanese.\nWhile the Japanese landing force was headed for Guadalcanal, the Japanese already on the island provided an unpleasant reminder that they, too, were full of fight. A captured enemy naval rating, taken in the constant patrolling to the west of the perimeter, indicated that a Japanese group wanted to surrender near the village of Kokumbona, seven miles west of the Matanikau. This was the area that Lieutenant Colonel Goettge considered held most of the enemy troops who had fled the airfield. On the night of 12 August, a reconnaissance patrol of 25 men led by Goettge himself left the perimeter by landing craft. The patrol landed near its objective, was ambushed, and virtually wiped out. Only three men managed to swim and wade back to the Marine lines. The bodies of the other members of the patrol were never found. To this day, the fate of the Goettge patrol continues to intrigue researchers.\nAfter the loss of Goettge and his men, vigilance increased on the perimeter. On the 14th, a fabled character, the coastwatcher Martin Clemens, came strolling out of the jungle into the Marine lines. He had watched the landing from the hills south of the airfield and now brought his bodyguard of native policemen with him. A retired sergeant major of the British Solomon Islands Constabulary, Jacob C. Vouza, volunteered about this time to search out Japanese to the east of the perimeter, where patrol sightings and contacts had indicated the Japanese might have effected a landing.\nThe ominous news of Japanese sightings to he east and west of the perimeter were balanced out by the joyous word that more Marines had landed. This time the Marines were aviators. On 20 August, two squadrons of Marine Aircraft Group (MAG) 23 were launched from the escort carrier Long Island (CVE-1) located 200 miles southeast of Guadalcanal. Captain John L. Smith led 19 Grumman F4F-4 Wildcats of Marine Fighting Squadron (VMF) 223 onto Henderson's narrow runway. Smith's fighters were followed by Major Richard C. Mangrum's Marine Scout-Bombing Squadron (VMSB) 232 with 12 Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless dive bombers.\nFrom this point of the campaign, the radio identification for Guadalcanal, Cactus, became increasingly synonymous with the island. The Marine planes became the first elements of what would informally be known as Cactus Air Force.\nWasting no time, the Marine pilots were soon in action against the Japanese naval aircraft which frequently attacked Guadalcanal. Smith shot down his first enemy Zero fighter on 21 August; three days later VMF-223's Wildcats intercepted a strong Japanese aerial attack force and downed 16 enemy planes. In this action, Captain Marion E. Carl, a veteran of Midway, shot down three planes. On the 22d, coastwatchers alerted Cactus to an approaching air attack and 13 of 16 enemy bombers were destroyed. At the same time, Mangrum's dive bombers damaged three enemy destroyer-transports attempting to reach Guadalcanal. On 24 August, the American attacking aircraft, which now included Navy scout-bombers from the Saratoga's Scouting Squadron (VS) 5, succeeded in turning back a Japanese reinforcement convoy of warships and destroyers.\nOn 22 August, five Bell P-400 Air Cobras of the Army's 67th Fighter Squadron had landed at Henderson, followed within a week by nine\nThe first Army Air Forces P-400 Bell Air Cobras arrived on Guadalcanal on 22 August, two days after the first Marine planes, and began operations immediately.\nNational Archives Photo 208-N-4932\nThe 1st Marine Division Patch\nThe 1st Division shoulder patch originally was authorized for wear by members of units who were organic or attached to he division in its four landings in the Pacific War. It was the first unit patch to be authorized for wear in World War II and specifically commemorated the division's sacrifices and victory in the battle for Guadalcanal.\nAs recalled by General Merrill B. Twining, a lieutenant colonel and the division's operations officer on Guadalcanal, for a short time before the 1st left Guadalcanal for Australia, there had been some discussion by the senior staff about uniforming the troops. It appeared that the Marines might have to wear Army uniforms, which meant that they would lose their identity and Twining came up with the idea for a division patch. A number of different designs were devised by both Lieutenant Colonel Twining and Captain Donald L. Dickson, adjutant of the 5th Marines, who had been an artist in civilian life. The one which Twining prepared on the flight out of Guadalcanal was approved by Major General Alexander A. Vandegrift, the division commander.\nGeneral Twining further recalled that he drew a diamond in his notebook and \"in the middle of the diamond I doodled a numeral one ... [and] I sketched in the word 'Guadalcanal' down its length ... I got to thinking the whole operation had been under the Southern Cross, so I drew that in, too ... About an hour later I took the drawing up to the front of the aircraft to General Vandegrift. He said, 'Yes, that's it!' and wrote his initials, A.A.V., on the bottom of the notebook page.\"\nAfter he arrived in Brisbane, Australia, Colonel Twining bought a child's watercolor set and, while confined to his hotel room by a bout of malaria, drew a bunch of diamonds on a big sheet, coloring each one differently. He then took samples to General Vandegrift, who chose one which was colored a shade of blue that he liked. Then Twining took the sketch to the Australian Knitting Mills to have it reproduced, pledging the credit of the post exchange funds to pay for the patches' manufacture. Within a week or two\nDesigner of the patch, LtCol Merrill B. Twining (later Gen) sits in the 1st Marine Division operations bunker. Behind him is his assistant D-3,a very tired Maj Henry W. Buse, Jr.\nthe patches began to roll off the knitting machines, and Colonel Twining was there to approve them. General Twining further recalled: \"after they came off the machine, I picked up a sheet of them. They looked very good, and when they were cut, I picked up one of the patches. It was one of the first off the machine.\nThe division's post exchanges began selling the patches almost immediately and they proved to be popular, with Marines buying extras to give away as souvenirs to Australian friends or to send home to families. Before long, newly established Marine divisions, as well as the raider and parachute units, and as the aircraft wings, sea-going Marines, Fleet Marine Force Pacific units, and others, were authorized to have their own distinctive patch, a total of 33, following the lead of the 1st Marine Division. Marines returning to the United States for duty or on leave from a unit having a distinctive shoulder insignia were authorized to wear that insignia until they were assigned to another unit having a shoulder patch of its own. For many 1st Marine Division men joining another unit and having to relinquish the wearing of the 1st Division patch, this rankled.\nShortly after the end of the war, Colonel Twining went to now-Marine Commandant General Vandegrift saying that he \"no longer thought Marines should wear anything on their uniforms to distinguish them from other Marines. He agreed and the patches came off for good.\" -- Benis M. Frank\nmore Air Cobras. The Army planes, which had serious altitude and climb-rate deficiencies, were destined to see most action in ground combat support roles.\nThe frenzied action in what became known as the Battle of the Eastern Solomons was matched ashore. Japanese destroyers had delivered the vanguard of the Ichiki force at Taivu Point, 25 miles east of the Marine perimeter. A long-range patrol of Marines from Company A, 1st Battalion, 1st Marines ambushed a sizable Japanese force near Taivu on 19 August. The Japanese dead were readily identified as Army troops and the debris of their defeat included fresh uniforms and a large amount of communication gear. Clearly , a new phase of the fighting had begun. All Japanese encountered to this point had been naval troops.\nAlerted by patrols, the Marines now dug in along the Ilu River, often misnamed the Tenaru on Marine maps, were ready for Colonel Ichiki. The Japanese commander's orders directed him to \"quickly recapture and maintain the airfield at Guadalcanal,\" and his own directive to his troops emphasized that they would fight \"to the last breath of the last man.\" And they did.\nToo full of his mission to wait for the rest of his regiment and sure that he faced only a few thousand men overall, Ichiki marched from Taivu to the Marines' lines. Before he attacked on the night of the 20th, a bloody figure stumbled out of the jungle with a warning that the Japanese were coming. It was Sergeant Major Vouza. Captured by the Japanese, who found a small American flag secreted in his loincloth, he was tortured in a failed attempt to gain information on the invasion force. Tied to a tree, bayonetted twice through the chest, and beaten with rifle butts, the resolute Vouza chewed through his bindings to escape. Taken to Lieutenant Colonel Edwin A. Pollock, whose 2d Battalion, 1st Marines held the Ilu mouth's defenses, he gasped a warning that an estimated 250-500 Japanese soldiers were coming behind him. The resolute Vouza, rushed immediately to an aid station and then to the division hospital, miraculously survived his ordeal and was awarded a Silver Star for his heroism by General Vandegrift, and later a Legion of Merit. Vandegrift also made Vouza an honorary sergeant major of U.S. Marines.\nAt 0130 on 21 August, Ichiki's troops stormed the Marines' lines in a screaming, frenzied display of the \"spiritual strength\" which they had been assured would sweep aside their American enemy. As the Japanese charged across the sand bar astride the Ilu's mouth, Pollock's Marines cut them down. After a mortar preparation, the Japanese tried again to storm past the sand bar. A section of 37mm guns sprayed the enemy force with deadly canister. Lieutenant Colonel Lenard B. Cresswell's 1st Battalion, 1st Marines moved upstream on the Ilu at daybreak, waded across the sluggish, 50-foot-wide stream, and moved on the flank of the Japanese. Wildcats from VMF-223 strafed the beleaguered enemy force. Five light tanks blasted the retreating Japanese. By 1700, as the sun was setting, the battle ended.\nColonel Ichiki[*], disgraced in his own mind by his defeat, burned his regimental colors and shot himself. Close to 800 of his men joined him in death. The few survivors fled eastward towards Taivu Point. Rear Admiral Raizo Tanaka, whose reinforcement force of transports and destroyers was largely responsible for the subsequent Japanese troop build-up on Guadalcanal, recognized that the unsupported Japanese attack was sheer folly and reflected that \"this tragedy should have taught us the hopelessness of bamboo spear tactics.\" Fortunately for the Marines, Ichiki's overconfidence was not unique among Japanese commanders.\nFollowing the 1st Marines' tangle with the Ichiki detachment, General Vandegrift was inspired to write the Marine Commandant, Lieutenant General Thomas Holcomb, and report: \"These youngsters are the darndest people when they get started\nU.S. M-3 Light Tank\nCapt Donald L. Dickson said of his watercolor: \"I wanted to catch on paper the feeling one had as a shell comes whistling over. ... There is a sense of being alone, naked and unprotected. And time seems endless until the shell strikes somewhere.\"\nyou ever saw.\" And all the Marines on the island, young and old, tyro and veteran, were becoming accomplished jungle fighters. They were no longer \"trigger happy\" as many had been in their first days shore, shooting at shadows and imagined enemy. They were waiting for targets, patrolling with enthusiasm, sure of themselves. The misnamed Battle of the Tenaru had cost Colonel Hunt's regiment 34 killed in action and 75 wounded. All the division's Marines now felt they were bloodied. What the men on Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanambogo and those of the Ilu had done was prove that the 1st Marine Division would hold fast to what it had won.\nWhile the division's Marines and sailors had earned a breathing spell as the Japanese regrouped for another onslaught, the action in the air over the Solomons intensified. Almost every day, Japanese aircraft arrived around noon to bomb the perimeter. Marine fighter pilots found the twin-engine Betty bombers easy targets; Zero fighters were another story. Although the Wildcats were a much sturdier aircraft, the Japanese Zeros' superior speed and better maneuverability gave them a distinct edge in a dogfight. The American planes, however, when warned by the coastwatchers of Japanese attacks, had time to climb above the oncoming enemy and preferably attacked by making firing runs during high speed dives. Their tactics made the air space over the Solomons dangerous for the Japanese. On 29 August, the carrier Ryujo launched aircraft for a strike against the airstrip. Smith's Wildcats shot down 16, with a loss of four of their own. Still, the Japanese continued to strike at Henderson Field without letup. Two days after the Ryujo raid, enemy bombers inflicted heavy damage on the airfield, setting aviation fuel ablaze and incinerating parked aircraft. VMF-223's retaliation was a further bag of 13 attackers.\nOn 30 August, two more MAG-23 squadrons, VMF-224 and VMSB-231, flew in to Henderson. The air reinforcements were more than welcome. Steady combat attrition, frequent damage in the air and on the ground, and scant repair facilities and parts kept the number of aircraft available a dwindling resource.\nPlainly, General Vandegrift needed\nCactus Air Force commander, MajGen Roy S. Geiger, poses with Capt Joseph J. Foss, the leading ace at Guadalcanal with 26 Japanese aircraft downed. Capt Foss was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic exploits in the air.\ninfantry reinforcements as much as he did additional aircraft. He brought the now-combined raider and parachute battalions, both under Edson's command, and the 2d Battalion, 5th Marines, over to Guadalcanal from Tulagi. This gave the division commander a chance to order out larger reconnaissance patrols to probe for the Japanese. On 27 August, the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, made a shore-to-shore landing near Kokumbona and marched back to the beachhead without any measurable results. If the Japanese were out there beyond the Matanikau--and they were--they watched the Marines and waited for a better opportunity to attack.\nSeptember and the Ridge\nAdmiral McCain visited Guadalcanal at the end of August, arriving in time to greet the aerial reinforcements he had ordered forward, and also in time for a taste of Japanese nightly bombing. He got to experience, too, what was becoming another unwanted feature of Cactus nights: bombardment by Japanese cruisers and destroyers. General Vandegrift noted that McCain had gotten a dose of the \"normal ration of\nSergeant Major Sir Jacob Charles Vouza\nJacob Charles Vouza was born in 1900 at Tasimboko, Guadalcanal, British Solomon Islands Protectorate, and educated at the South Seas Evangelical Mission School there. In 1916 he joined the Solomon Islands Protectorate Armed Constabulary, from which he retired at the rank of sergeant major in 1941 after 25 years of service.\nAfter the Japanese invaded his home island in World War II, he returned to active duty with the British forces and volunteered to work with the Coastwatchers. Vouza's experience as a scout had already been established when the 1st Marine Division landed on Guadalcanal. On 7 August 1942 he rescued a downed naval pilot from the USS Wasp who was shot down inside Japanese territory. He guided the pilot to friendly lines where Vouza met the Marines for the first time.\nVouza then volunteered to scout behind enemy lines for the Marines. On 27 August he was captured by the Japanese while on a Marine Corps mission to locate suspected enemy lookout stations. Having found a small American flag in Vouza's loincloth, the Japanese tied him to a tree and tired to force him to reveal information about Allied forces. Vouza was questioned for hours, but refused to talk. He was tortured and bayoneted about the arms, throat, shoulder, face, and stomach, and left to die.\nHe managed to free himself after his captors departed, and made his way through the miles of jungle to American lines. There he gave valuable intelligence information to the Marines about an impending Japanese attack before accepting medical attention.\nAfter spending 12 days in the hospital, Vouza then returned to duty as the chief scout for the Marines. He accompanied Lieutenant Colonel Evans. F. Carlson and the 2d Marine Raider Battalion when they made their 30-day raid behind enemy lines at Guadalcanal.\nSergeant Major Vouza was highly decorated for his World War II service. The Silver Star was presented to him personally by Major General Alexander A. Vandegrift, commanding general of the 1st Marine Division, for refusing to give information under Japanese torture. He also was awarded the Legion of Merit for outstanding service with the 2d Raider Battalion during November and December 1942, and the British George Medal for gallant conduct and exceptional devotion to duty. He later received the Police Long Service Medal and, in 1957, was made a Member of the British Empire for long and faithful government service.\nAfter the war, Vouza continued to serve his fellow islanders. In 1949, he was appointed district headman, and president of the Guadalcanal Council, from 1952-1958. He served as a member of the British Solomon Islands Protectorate Advisory Council from 1950 to 1960.\nHe made many friends during his long association with the U.S. Marine Corps and through the years was continually visited on Guadalcanal by Marines. During 1968, Vouza visited the United States, where he was the honored guest of the 1st Marine Division Association. In 1979, he was knighted by Britain's Queen Elizabeth II. He died on 15 March 1984. -- Ann A. Ferrante\nM3A1 37mm Antitank Gun\nThe M3 Antitank gun, based on the successful German Panzer Abwehr Kanone (PAK)-36, was developed by the U.S. Army in the late 1930s as a replacement for the French 37mm Puteaux gun, used in World War I but unable to destroy new tanks being produced.\nThe M3 was adopted because of its accuracy, fire control, penetration, and mobility. Towed by its prime mover, the 4x4 quarter-ton truck, the gun would trail at 50 mph on roads. When traveling crosscountry, gullies, shell holes, mud holes, and slopes of 26 degrees were negotiated with ease. In 1941, the gun was redesignated the M3A1 when the muzzles were threaded to accept a muzzle brake that was rarely, if ever, used.\nAt the time of its adoption, the M3 could destroy any tank then being produced in the world. However, by the time the United States entered the war, the M3 was outmatched by the tanks it would have met in Europe. The Japanese tanks were smaller and more vulnerable to the M3 throughout the war. In the Pacific, it was used against bunkers, pillboxes and, when loaded with canister, against banzai charges. It was employed throughout the war by Marine regimental weapons companies, but in reduced numbers as the fighting continued. It was replaced in the European Theater by the M1 57mm antitank gun.\nThe 37mm antitank gun, manned by a crew of four who fired a 1.61-pound projectile with an effective range of 500 yards. -- Stephen L.

Geiger, and his assistant wing commander, Colonel Louis Woods, moved forward to Guadalcanal to take charge of air operations. The arrival of the veteran Marine aviators provided an instant lift to the morale of the pilots and ground crews. It reinforced their belief that they were at the leading edge of air combat, that they were setting the pace for the rest of Marine aviation. Vandegrift could thankfully turn over the day-to-day management of the aerial defenses of Cactus to the able and experienced Geiger. There was no shortage of targets for the mixed air force of Marine, Army, and Navy flyers.

Seabees had begun work on a second airstrip, Fighter One, which could relive some of the pressure on the primary airfield.\nMost of General Kawaguchi's brigade had reached Guadalcanal. Those who hadn't, missed their land-fall forever as a result of American air attacks. Kawaguchi had in mind a surprise attack on the heart of the Marine position, a thrust from the jungle directly at the airfield. To reach his jump-off position, the Japanese general would have to move through difficult terrain unobserved, carving his way through the dense vegetation out of sight of Marine patrols. The rugged approach route would lead him to a prominent ridge topped by Kunai grass which wove snake-like through the jungle to within a mile of Henderson's runway. Unknown to the Japanese, General Vandegrift planned on moving his headquarters to the shelter of a spot at the inland base of this ridge, a site better protected, it was hoped, from enemy bombing and shellfire.\nThe success of Kawaguchi's plan depended upon the Marines keeping the inland perimeter thinly manned while they concentrated their forces on the east and west flanks. This was not to be. Available intelligence, including a captured enemy map, pointed to the likelihood of an attack on the airfield and Vandegrift moved his combined raider-parachute battalion to the most obvious enemy approach route, the ridge.

Their commander later said that he \"was firmly convinced that we were in the path of the next Jap attack.\" Earlier patrols had spotted a sizable Japanese force approaching. Accordingly, Edson patrolled extensively as his men dug in on the ridge and in the flanking jungle. On the 12th, the Marines made contact with enemy patrols confirming the fact the Japanese troops were definitely \"out front.\" Kawaguchi had about 2,000 of his men with him, enough he thought to punch through to me airfield.\nJapanese planes had dropped 500-pound bombs along the ridge on the 11th and enemy ships began shelling the area after nightfall on the 12th, once the threat of American air attacks subsided. The first Japanese thrust came at 2100 against Edson's left flank. Boiling out of the jungle, the enemy soldiers attacked fearlessly into the face of rifle and machine gun fire, closing to bayonet range. They were thrown back. They came again, this time against the right flank, penetrating the Marines' positions. Again they were thrown back., A third attack closed out the night's action. Again it was a close affair, but by 0230 Edson told Vandegrift his men could hold. And they did.\nOn the morning of 13 September, Edson called his company commanders together and told them: \"They were just testing, just testing. They'll be back.\" He ordered all positions improved and defenses consolidated and pulled his lines towards the airfield along the ridge's center spine. The 2d Battalion, 5th Marines, his backup on Tulagi, moved into position to reinforce again.\nThe next night's attacks were as fierce as any man had seen. The Japanese were everywhere, fighting hand-to-hand in the Marines' foxholes and gun pits and filtering past forward positions to attack from the rear. Division Sergeant Major Sheffield Banta shot one in the new command post. Colonel Edson appeared wherever the fighting was toughest, encouraging his men to their utmost efforts. The man-to-man battles lapped over into the jungle on either flank of the ridge, and engineer and pioneer positions were attacked. The reserve from the 5th Marines was fed into the fight.

The range grew as short as 1,600 yards from tube to impact. The Japanese finally could take no more. They pulled back as dawn approached. On the slopes of the ridge and in the surrounding jungle they left more than 600 bodies; another 600 men were wounded. The remnants of the Kawaguchi force staggered back toward their lines to the west, a grueling, hellish eight-day march that saw many more of the enemy perish.\nThe cost to Edson's force for its epic defense was also heavy. Fifty-nine men were dead, 10 were missing in action, and 194 were wounded. These losses, coupled with the casualties of Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanambogo, meant the end of the 1st Parachute Battalion as an effective fighting unit. Only 89 men of the parachutists' original strength could walk off the ridge, soon in legend to become \"Bloody Ridge\" or \"Edson's Ridge.\" Both Colonel Edson and Captain Kenneth D. Bailey, commanding the Raider's Company C, were awarded the Medal of Honor for their heroic and inspirational actions.\nOn 13 and 14 September, the Japanese attempted to support Kawaguchi's attack on the ridge with thrusts against the flanks of the Marine perimeter. On the east, enemy troops attempting to penetrate the lines of the 3d Battalion, 1st Marines, were caught in the open on a grass plain and smothered by artillery fire; at least 200 died. On the west, the 3d Battalion, 5th Marines, holding ridge positions covering the coastal road, fought off a determined attacking force that reached its front lines.\nThe Pagoda at Henderson Field, served as headquarters for Cactus Air Force throughout the first months of air operations on Guadalcanal. From this building, Allied planes were sent against Japanese troops on other islands of the Solomons.\nThe victory at the ridge gave a great boost to Allied homefront morale, and reinforced the opinion of the men ashore on Guadalcanal that they could take on anything the enemy could send against them. At upper command echelons, the leaders were not so sure that the ground Marines and their motley air force could hold. Intercepted Japanese dispatches revealed that the myth of the 2,000-man defending force had been completely dispelled. Sizable naval forces and two divisions of Japanese troops were now committed to conquer the Americans on Guadalcanal. Cactus Air Force, augmented frequently by Navy carrier squadrons, made the planned reinforcement effort a high-risk venture. But it was a risk the Japanese were prepared to take.\nOn 18 September, the long-awaited 7th Marines, reinforced by the 1st Battalion, 11th Marines, and other division troops, arrived at Guadalcanal. As the men from Samoa landed they were greeted with friendly derision by Marines already on the island. The 7th had been the first regiment of the 1st Division to go overseas; its men, many thought then, were likely to be the first to see combat. The division had been careful to send some of its best men to Samoa and now had them back. One of the new and salty combat veterans of the 5th Marines remarked to a friend in the 7th that he had waited a long time \"to see our first team get into the game.\" Providentially, a separate supply convoy reached the island at the same time as the 7th's arrival, bringing with it badly needed aviation gas and the first resupply of ammunition since D-Day.\nThe Navy covering force for the reinforcement and supply convoys was hit hard by Japanese submarines. The carrier Wasp was torpedoed and sunk, the battleship North Carolina (BB-55) was damaged, and the destroyer O'Brien (DD-415) was hit so badly it broke up and sank on its way to drydock. The Navy had accomplished its mission, the 7th Marines had landed, but at a terrible cost. About the only good result of the devastating Japanese torpedo attacks was that the Wasp's surviving aircraft joined Cactus Air Force, as the planes of the Saratoga and Enterprise had done when their carriers required combat repairs. Now, the Hornet (CV-8) was the only whole fleet carrier left in the South Pacific.\nAs the ships that brought the 7th Marines withdrew, they took with them the survivors of the 1st Parachute Battalion and sick bays full of badly wounded men. General Vandegrift now had 10 infantry battalions, one understrength raider battalion, and five artillery battalions ashore; the 3d Battalion, 2d Marines, had come over from Tulagi also. He reorganized the defensive perimeter into 10 sectors for better control, giving the engineer, pioneer, and amphibian tractor battalions sectors along the beach. Infantry battalions manned the other sectors, including the inland perimeter in the jungle. Each infantry regiment had two battalions on line and one in reserve. Vandegrift also had the use of a select group of infantrymen who were training to be scouts and snipers under the leadership of Colonel William J. \"Wild Bill\" Whaling, and experienced jungle hand, marksman, and hunter, whom he had appointed to run a school to sharpen the division's fighting skills. As men finished their training under Whaling and went back to their outfits, others took their place and the Whaling group was available to scout and spearhead operations.\nVandegrift now had enough men ashore on Guadalcanal, 19,200, to expand his defensive scheme. He decided to seize a forward position along the east bank of the Matanikau River, in effect strongly outposting his west flank defenses against the probability of string enemy attacks from the area where most Japanese troops were landing. First, however, he was going to test the Japanese reaction with a strong probing force.\nHe chose the fresh 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Lewis B. \"Chesty\" Puller, to move inland along the slopes of Mt. Austen and patrol north towards the coast and the Japanese-held area. Puller's battalion ran into Japanese troops bivouacked on the slopes of Austen on the 24th and in a sharp firefight had seven men killed and 25 wounded. Vandegrift sent the 2d Battalion, 5th Marines, forward to reinforce Puller and help provide the men needed to carry the casualties out of the jungle. Now reinforced, Puller continued his advance, moving down the east bank of the Matanikau. He reached the coast on the 26th as planned, where he drew intensive fire from enemy positions on the ridges west of the river. An attempt by the 2d Battalion, 5th Marines, to cross was beaten back.\nAbout the time, the 1st Raider Battalion, its original mission one of establishing a patrol base west of the Matanikau, reached the vicinity of the firefight, and joined in. Vandegrift sent Colonel Edson, now the commander of the 5th Marines, forward to take charge of the expanded force. He was directed to attack on the 27th and decided to send the raiders inland to outflank the Japanese defenders. The battalion, commanded by Edson's former executive officer, Lieutenant Colonel Samuel B. Griffith II, ran into a hornet's nest of Japanese who had crossed the Matanikau during the night. A garbled message led Edson to believe that Griffith's men were advancing according to plan, so he decided to land the companies of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, behind the enemy's Matanikau position and strike the Japanese from the rear while Rosecran's men attacked across the river.\nThe landing was made without incident\ntakes pleasure in presenting\nthe Medal of Honor posthumously to\nDouglas Albert Munro\nSignalman First Class\nfor service as set forth\nin the following citation:\nFor extraordinary heroism and conspicuous gallantry in action above and beyond the call of duty as Officer in Charge of a group of twenty-four Higgins boats engaged in the evacuation of a battalion of Marines trapped by enemy Japanese forces at Point Cruz, Guadalcanal, on September 27, 1942. After making preliminary plans for the evacuation of nearly five hundred beleaguered Marines, Munro, under constant strafing by enemy machine guns on the island and at great risk of his life, daringly led five of his small craft toward the shore. As he closed the beach, he signalled the others to land and then in order to draw the enemy's fire and protect the heavily loaded boats, he valiantly placed his craft, with its two small guns, as a shield between the beachhead and the Japanese.\nWhen the perilous task of evacuation was nearly completed, Munro was instantly killed by enemy fire, but his crew, two of whom were wounded, carried on until the last boat had loaded and cleared the beach. By his outstanding leadership, expert planning, and dauntless devotion to duty, he and his courageous comrades undoubtedly saved the lives of many who otherwise would have perished. He gallantly gave up his life in defense of his country.\n/s/Franklin Roosevelt\nand the 7th Marines' companies moved inland only to be ambushed and cut off from the sea by the Japanese. A rescue force of landing craft moved with difficulty through Japanese fire, urged on by Puller who accompanied the boats on the destroyer Ballard (DD-660) [sic: should be DD-267; DD-660 USS Ballard was not commissioned until the following year--ed.]. The Marines were evacuated after fighting their way to the beach covered by the destroyer's fire and the machine guns of a Marine SBD overhead. Once the 7th Marines companies got back to the perimeter, landing near Kukum, the raider and 5th Marines battalions pulled back from the Matanikau. The confirmation that the Japanese would strongly contest any westward advance cost the Marines 60 men killed and 100 wounded.\nThe Japanese the Marines had encountered were mainly men for the 4th Regiment of the 2d (Sendai) Division; prisoners confirmed that the division was landing on the island. Included in the enemy reinforcements were 150mm howitzers, guns capable of shelling the airfield from positions near Kokumbona. Clearly, a new and stronger enemy attack was pending.\nAs September drew to a close, a flood of promotions had reached the division, nine lieutenant colonels put on their colonel's eagles and there were 14 new lieutenant colonels also. Vandegrift made Colonel Gerald C. Thomas, his former operations\nShortly after becoming Commander, South Pacific Area and Forces, VAdm William F.

Many of the older, senior officers, picked for the most part in the order they had joined the division, were now sent back to the States. There they would provide a new level of combat expertise in the training and organization of the many Marine units that were forming. The air wing was not quite ready yet to return its experienced pilots to rear areas, but the vital combat knowledge they possessed was much needed in the training pipeline. They, too--the survivors--would soon be rotating back to rear areas, some for a much-needed break before returning to combat and other to lead new squadrons into the fray.\nOctober and the Japanese Offensive\nOn 30 September, unexpectedly, a B-17 carrying Admiral Nimitz made an emergency landing at Henderson Field. The CinCPac made the most of the opportunity. He visited the front lines, saw Edson's Ridge, and talked to a number of Marines. He reaffirmed to Vandegrift that his overriding mission was to hold the airfield. He promised all the support he could give and after awarding Navy Crosses to a number of Marines, including Vandegrift, left the next day visibly encouraged by what he had seen.\nThe next Marine move involved a punishing return to the Matanikau, this time with five infantry battalions and the Whaling group. Whaling commanded his men and the 3d Battalion, 2d Marines, in a thrust inland to clear the way for two battalions of the 7th Marines, the 1st and 2d, to drive through and hook toward the coast, hitting the Japanese holding\nVisiting Guadalcanal on 30 September, Adm Chester W.

Edson's 2d and 3d Battalions would attack across the river mouth. All the division's artillery was positioned to fire in support.\nOn the 7th, Whaling's force moved into the jungle about 2,000 yards upstream on the Matanikau, encountering Japanese troops that harassed his forward elements, but not in enough strength to stop the advance. He bypassed the enemy positions and dug in for the night. Behind him the 7th Marines followed suit, prepared to move through his lines, cross the river, and attack north toward the Japanese on the 8th. The 5th Marines' assault battalions moving toward the Matanikau on the 7th ran into Japanese in strength about 400 yards from the river. Unwittingly, the Marines had run into strong advance elements of the Japanese 4th Regiment, which had crossed the Matanikau in order to establish a base form which artillery could fire into the Marine perimeter. The fighting was intense and the 3d Battalion, 5th, could make little progress, although the 2d Battalion encountered slight opposition and won through to the river bank. It then turned north to hit the inland flank of the enemy troops. Vandegrift sent forward a company of raiders to reinforce the 5th, and it took a holding position on the right, towards the beach.\nRain poured down on the 8th, all day long, virtually stopping all forward progress, but not halting the close-in fighting around the Japanese pocket. The enemy troops finally retreated, attempting to escape the gradually encircling Marines. They smashed into the raider's position nearest to their escape route. A wild hand-to-hand battle ensued and a few Japanese broke through to reach and cross the river. The rest died fighting.\nOn the 9th, Whaling's force, flanked by the 2d and then the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, crossed the Matanikau and then turned and followed ridge lines to the sea. Puller's battalion discovered a number of Japanese in a raving to his front, fired his mortars, and called in artillery, while his men used rifles and machine guns to pick off enemy troops trying to escape what proved to be a death trap. When his mortar ammunition began to run short, Puller moved on toward the beach, joining the rest of Whaling's force, which had encountered no opposition. The Marines then recrossed the Matanikau, joined Edson's troops, and marched back to the perimeter, leaving a strong combat outpost at the Matanikau, now cleared of Japanese. General Vandegrift, apprised by intelligence sources that a major Japanese attack was coming from the west, decided to consolidate his positions, leaving no sizable Marine force more than a day's march from the perimeter. The Marine advance on 7-9 October had thwarted Japanese plans for an early attack and cost the enemy more than 700 men. The Marines paid a price too, 65 dead and 125 wounded.\nMore than 200 Japanese soldiers alone were killed in a frenzied attack in the sandspit where the Tenaru River flows into Ironbottom Sound (Sealark Channel).\nThere was another price that Guadalcanal was exacting from both sides. Disease was beginning to fell men in numbers that equalled the battle casualties. In addition to gastroenteritis, which greatly weakened those who suffered its crippling stomach cramps, there were all kinds of tropical fungus infections, collectively known as \"jungle rot,\" which produced uncomfortable rashes on men's feet, armpits, elbows, and crotches, a product of seldom being dry, If it didn't rain, sweat provided the moisture. On top of this came hundreds of cases of malaria. Atabrine tablets provided some relief, besides turning the skin yellow, but they were not effective enough to stop the spread of the mosquito-borne infection. malaria attacks were so pervasive that nothing sort of complete prostration, becoming a litter case, could earn a respite in the hospital. naturally enough, all these diseases affected most strongly the men who had been on the island the longest, particularly those who experienced the early days of short rations. Vandegrift had already argued with his superiors that when his men eventually got relieved they should not be sent to another tropical island hospital, but rather to a place where there was a real change of atmosphere and climate. He asked that Auckland or Wellington, New Zealand, be considered.\nFor the present, however, there was to be no relief for men starting their third month on Guadalcanal. The Japanese would not abandon their plan to seize back Guadalcanal and gave painful evidence of their intentions near mid-October. General Hyakutake himself landed on Guadalcanal on 7 October to oversee the coming offensive. Elements of Major General Masao Maruyama's Sendai Division, already a factor in the fighting near the Matanikau, landed with him More men were coming. And the Japanese, taking advantage of the fact that Cactus flyers had no night attack capability, planned to ensure that no planes at all would rise from Guadalcanal to meet them.\nOn 11 October, U.S. Navy surface ships took a hand in stopping the \"Tokyo Express,\" the nickname that had been given to Admiral Tanaka's almost nightly reinforcement forays. A covering force of five cruisers and five destroyers, located near Rennell Island and commanded by Rear Admiral Norman Scott, got word that many ships were approaching Guadalcanal. Scott's mission was to protect an approaching reinforcement convoy and he steamed toward Cactus at flank speed eager to engage. He encountered more ships than he had expected, a bombardment\nBy October, malaria began to claim as many casualties as Japanese artillery, bombs, and naval gunfire. Shown here are the patients in the division hospital who are ministered to by physicians and corpsmen working under minimal conditions.\ngroup of three heavy cruisers and two destroyers, as well as six destroyers escorting two seaplane carrier transports. Scott maneuvered between Savo Island and Cape Esperance, Guadalcanal's western tip, and ran head-on into the bombardment group.\nAlerted by a scout plane from his flagship, San Francisco (CA-38), spottings later confirmed by radar contacts on the Helena (CL-50), the Americans opened fire before the Japanese, who had no radar, knew of their presence. One enemy destroyer sank immediately, two cruisers were badly damaged, one, the Furutaka, later foundered, and the remaining cruiser and destroyer turned away from the inferno of American fire. Scott's own force was punished by enemy return fire which damaged two cruisers and two destroyers, one of which, the Duncan (DD-485), sank the following day. On the 12th too, Cactus flyers spotted two of the reinforcement destroyer escorts retiring and sank them both. The Battle of Cape Esperance could be counted an American naval victory, one sorely needed at the time.\nIts way cleared by Scott's encounter with the Japanese, a really welcome reinforcement convoy arrived at the island on 13 October when the 164th Infantry of the Americal Division arrived. The soldiers, members of a National Guard outfit originally from North Dakota, were equipped with Garand M-1 rifles, a weapon of which most overseas Marines had only heard. In rate of fire, the semiautomatic Garand could easily outperform the single-shot, bolt-action Springfields the Marines carried and the bolt-action rifles the Japanese carried, but most 1st Division Marines of necessity touted the Springfield as inherently more accurate and a better weapon. This did not prevent some light-fingered Marines from acquiring Garands when the occasion present itself. And such an occasion did present itself while the soldiers were landing and their supplies were being moved to dumps. Several flights of Japanese bombers arrived over Henderson Field, relatively unscathed by the defending fighters, and began dropping their bombs. The soldiers headed for cover and alert Marines, inured to the bombing, used the interval to \"liberate\" interesting cartons and crates. The news that the Army had arrived spread across the island like wildfire, for it meant to all marines that they eventually would be relieved. There was hope.\nAs if the bombing was not enough grief, the Japanese opened on the airfield with their 150mm howitzers also. Altogether the men of the 164th got a rude welcome to Guadalcanal. And on that night, 13-14 October, they shared a terrifying experience with the Marines that no one would ever forget.\nDetermined to knock out Henderson Field and protect their soldiers landing in strength west of Koli Point, the enemy commanders sent the battleships Kongo and Haruna into Ironbottom Sound to bombard the Marine positions. The usual Japanese flare planes heralded the bombardment, 80 minutes of sheer hell which had 14-inch shells exploding with such effect that the accompanying cruiser fire was scarcely noticed. No one was safe; no place was safe. No dugout had been built to withstand 14-inch shells. One witness, a seasoned veteran demonstrably cool under enemy fire, opined that there was nothing worse in war than helplessly being on the receiving end of naval gunfire. He remembered \"huge trees being cut apart and flying about like toothpicks.\" And he was on the front lines, not the prime enemy target. The airfield and its environs were a shambles when dawn broke. The naval shelling, together with the night's artillery fire and bombing, had left Cactus Air Force's commander, General Geiger, with a handful of aircraft still flyable, and airfield thickly cratered by shells and bombs, and a death toll of 41. Still, from Henderson or Fighter One, which now became the main airstrip, the Cactus Flyers had to attack, for the morning also revealed a shore and sea full of inviting targets.\nThe expected enemy convoy had gotten through and Japanese transports and landing craft were everywhere near Tassafaronga. At sea the escorting cruisers and destroyers provided a formidable antiaircraft screen. Every American plane that could fly did. General Geiger's aide, Major Jack Cram, took off in the general's PBY, hastily rigged to carry two torpedoes, and put one of them into the side of an enemy transport as it was unloading. He landed the lumbering flying boat with enemy aircraft hot on his tail. A new squadron of F4Fs, VMF-212, commanded by Major Harold W. Bauer, flew in during the day's action, landed, refueled, and took off to join the fighting. An hour later, Bauer landed again, this time with four enemy bombers to his credit. Bauer, who added to his score of Japanese aircraft kills in later air battles, was subsequently lost in action. He was awarded\nthe Medal of Honor, as were four other Marine pilots of the early Cactus Air Force: Captain Jefferson J. DeBlank (VMF-112); Captain Joseph J. Foss (VMF-121); Major Robert E. Galer (VMF-224); and Major John L. Smith (VMF-223).\nMaj Harold W. Bauer, VMF-212 commander, here a captain, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor after being lost during a scramble with Japanese aircraft over Guadalcanal.

DeBlanc, left, and Maj Robert E. Galer, right.\nThe Japanese had landed more than enough troops to destroy the Marine beachhead and seize the airfield. At least General Hyakutake thought so, and he heartily approved General Maruyama's plan to move most of the Sendai Division through the jungle, out of sight and out of contact with the Marines, to strike from the south in the vicinity of Edson's Ridge. Roughly 7,000 men, each carrying a mortar or artillery shell,\nA Marine examines a Japanese 70mm howitzer captured at the Battle of the Tenaru.

The trail behind them was littered with the supplies they carried.\nstarted along the Maruyama Trail which had been partially hacked out of the jungle well inland from the Marine positions. Maruyama, who had approved the trail's name to indicate his confidence, intended to support this attack with heavy mortars and infantry guns (70mm pack howitzers). The men who had to lug, push, and drag these supporting arms over the miles of broken ground, across two major streams, the Matanikau and the Lunga, and through heavy underbrush, might have had another name for their commander's path to supposed glory.\nGeneral Vandegrift knew the Japanese were going to attack. Patrols an reconnaissance flights had clearly indicated the push would be from the west, where the enemy reinforcements had landed. The American commander changed his dispositions accordingly. There were Japanese troops east of the perimeter, too, but not in any significant strength. The new infantry regiment, the 164th, reinforced by Marine special weapons units, was put into the line to hold the eastern flank along 6,600 yards, curving inland to join up with the 7th Marines near Edson's Ridge. The 7th held 2,500 yards from the ridge to the Lunga. From the Lunga, the 1st Marines had a 3,500-yard sector of jungle running west to the point where the line curved back to the beach again in the 5th Marines' sector. Since the attack was expected from the west, the 3d Battalions of each of the 1st and 7th Marines held a strong outpost position forward of the 5th Marines' lines along the east bank of the Matanikau.\nDuring the lull in the fight, a Marine machine gunner takes a break for coffee, with his sub-machine gun on his knee and his .30-caliber light machine gun in position.\nIn the lull before the attack, if a time of patrol clashes, Japanese cruiser-destroyer bombardments, bomber attacks, and artillery harassment could properly be called a lull, Vandegrift was visited by the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Lieutenant General Thomas Holcomb. The Commandant flew in on 21 October to see for himself how his Marines were faring. It also proved to be an occasion for both senior Marines to meet the new ComSoPac, Vice Admiral William F. \"Bull\" Halsey. Admiral Nimitz had announced Halsey's appointment on 18 October and the news was welcome in Navy and Marine ranks throughout the Pacific. Halsey's deserved reputation for \u00e9lan and aggressiveness promised renewed attention to he situation on Guadalcanal. On the 22d, Holcomb and Vandegrift flew to Noumea to meet with Halsey and to receive and give a round of briefings on the Allied situation. After Vandegrift had described his position, he argued strongly against the diversion of reinforcements intended for Cactus to any other South Pacific venue, a sometime factor of Admiral Turner's strategic vision. He insisted that he needed all of the Americal Division and another 2d Marine Division regiment to beef up his forces, and that more than half of his veterans were worn out by three months' fighting and the ravages of jungle-incurred diseases. Admiral Halsey told the Marine general: \"You go back there, Vandegrift. I promise to get you everything I have.\"\nWhen Vandegrift returned to Guadalcanal, Holcomb moved on to Pearl Harbor to meet with Nimitz, carrying Halsey's recommendation that, in the future, landing force commanders once established ashore, would have equal command status with Navy amphibious force commanders. At Pearl, Nimitz approved Halsey's recommendation--which Holcomb had drafted--and in Washington so did King. In effect the, the command status of all future Pacific amphibious operations was determined by the events of Guadalcanal. Another piece of news Vandegrift received from Holcomb also boded well for the future of the Marine Corps. Holcomb indicated\nthat if President Roosevelt did not reappoint him, unlikely in view of his age and two terms in office, he would recommend that Vandegrift be appointed the next Commandant.\nOn the occasion of the visit of the Commandant, MajGen Thomas Holcomb, some of Operation Watchtower's major staff and command officers took time out from the fighting to pose with him. From left, front row: Col William J. Whaling (Whaling Group); Col Amor LeRoy Sims (CO, 7th Marines); Col Gerald C.

Second row (between Whaling and Sims): LtCol Raymond P. Coffman (Division Supply Officer); Maj James C. Murray (Division Personnel Officer); (behind Gen Holcomb) LtCol Merrill B. Twining (Division Operations Officer).\nThis new of future events had little chance of diverting Vandegrift's attention when he flew back to Guadalcanal, for the Japanese were in the midst of their planned offensive. On the 20th, an enemy patrol accompanied by two tanks tried to find a way through the line held by Lieutenant Colonel William N. McKelvy, Jr.'s 3d Battalion, 1st Marines. A sharpshooting 37mm gun crew knocked out one tank and the enemy force fell back, meanwhile shelling the Marine positions with artillery. Near sunset the next day, the Japanese tried again, this time with more artillery fire and more tanks in the fore, but again a 37mm gun knocked out a lead tank and discouraged the attack. On 22 October, the enemy paused, waiting for Maruyama's force to get into position inland. On the 23d, planned as the day of the Sendai's main attack, the Japanese dropped a heavy rain of artillery and mortar fire on McKelvy's positions near the Matanikau River mouth. Near dusk, nine 18-tom medium tanks clanked out of the trees onto the river's sandbar and just as quickly eight of them were riddled by the 37s. One tank got across the river, a marine blasted a track off with a grenade, and a 75mm half-track finished it off in the ocean's surf. The following enemy infantry was smothered by Marine artillery fire as all battalions of the augmented 11th Marines rained shells on the massed attackers. Hundreds of Japanese were casualties and three more tanks were destroyed. Later, an inland thrust further upstream was easily beaten back. The abortive coastal attack did almost nothing to aid Maruyama's inland offensive, but did cause Vandegrift to shift one battalion, the 2d Battalion, 7th Marines, out of the line to the east and into the 4.000-yard gap between the Matanikau position and the perimeter. This moved proved providential since\nReising Gun\nThe Reising gun was designed and developed by noted gun inventor Eugene Reising. It was patented in 1940 and manufactured by the old gun-making firm of Harrington and Richardson of Worcester, Massachusetts. It is said that it was made on existing machine tools, some dating back to the Civil War, and of ordinary steel rather than ordnance steel. With new machine tools and ordnance steel scarce and needed for more demanding weapons, the Reising met an immediate requirement for many sub-machine guns at a time when production of Thompson M1928 and M1 sub-machine guns hadn't caught up with demand and the stamped-out M3 \"grease gun\" had not yet been invented. It was a wartime expedient.\nThe Reising was made in two different models, the 50 and the 55. The Model 50 had a full wooden stock and a Cutts compensator attached to the muzzle. The compensator, a device which reduced the upward muzzle climb from recoil, was invented by Richard M. Cutts, Sr., and his son, Richard M. Cutts, Jr., both of whom became Marine brigadier generals. The other version was dubbed the Model 55. It had a folding metal-wire shoulder stock which swivelled on the wooded pistol grip. It also had a shorter barrel and no compensator. It was intended for use by parachutists, tank crews, and others needing a compact weapon. Both versions of the Reising fired .45-caliber ammunition, the same cartridge as the Colt automatic pistol and the Thompson.\nIn all, there were approximately 100,000 Reising sub-machine guns produced between 1940 and 1942. Small numbers of the weapons were acquired by both Great Britain and the Soviet Union. However, most were used by the U.S. Marine Corps in the Solomon Islands campaign. The Model 55 was issued to both Marine parachute battalions and Marine raiders, seeing service first on Guadalcanal. After its dubious debut in combat it was withdrawn from frontline service in 1943 due to several flaws in design and manufacture.\nThe Reising's major shortcoming was its propensity for jamming. This was due to both a design problem in the magazine lips and the fact that magazines were made of a soft sheet steel. The weapons' safety mechanism didn't always work and if the butt was slammed down on the deck, the hammer would set back against the mainspring and then fly forward, firing a chambered cartridge. The design allowed the entry of dirt into the mechanism and close tolerances caused it to jam. Finally, the steel used allowed excessive rust to form in the tropical humidity of the Solomons. Nevertheless, at six pounds, the Reising was handier than the 10-pound Thompson, more accurate, pleasanter to shoot, and reliable under other than combat conditions, but one always had to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. The Model 50 was also issued to Marines for guard duty at posts and stations in the United States.--John G. Griffiths\none of Maruyama's planned attacks was headed right for this area.\nAlthough patrols had encountered no Japanese east or south of the jungled perimeter up to the 24th, the Matanikau attempts had alerted everyone. When General Maruyama finally was satisfied that his men had struggled through to appropriate assault positions, after delaying his day of attack three times, he was ready on 24 October. The Marines were waiting.\nAn observer from the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, spotted an enemy officer surveying Edson's Ridge on the 24th, and scout-snipers reported smoke from numerous rice fires rising from a valley about two miles south of Lieutenant Colonel Puller's positions. Six battalions of the Sendai Division were poised to attack, and near midnight the first elements of the enemy hit and bypassed a platoon-sized outpost forward of Puller's barbed-wire entanglements. Warned by the outpost, Puller's men waited, straining to see through a dark night and a driving rain. Suddenly, the Japanese charged out of the jungle, attacking in Puller's area near the ridge and the flat ground to the east. The Marine replied with\nFive Japanese tanks sit dead in the water, destroyed by Marine 37mm gunfire during the abortive attempt to force the Marine perimeter near the mouth of the Matanikau River in late October. Many Japanese soldiers lost their lives also.\neverything they had, calling in artillery, firing mortars, relying heavily on crossing fields of machine gun fire to cut down the enemy infantrymen. Thankfully, the enemy's artillery, mortars, and other supporting arms were scattered back along the Maruyama Trail; they had proved too much of a burden for the infantrymen to carry forward.\nA wedge was driven into the Marine lines, but eventually straightened out with repeated counterattacks. Puller soon realized his battalion was being hit by a strong Japanese force capable of repeated attacks. He called for reinforcements and the Army's 3d Battalion, 164th Infantry (Lieutenant Colonel Robert K. Hall), was ordered forward, its men sliding and slipping in the rain as they trudged a mile south along Edson's Ridge. Puller met Hall at the head of his column, and the two officers walked down the length of the Marine lines, peeling off an Army squad at a time to feed into the lines. When the Japanese attacked again as they did all night long, the soldiers and Marines fought back together. By 0330, the Army battalion was completely integrated into the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines'; lines and the enemy attacks were getting weaker and weaker. The American return fire--including flanking fire from machine guns and Weapons Company, 7th Marines' 37mm guns remaining in the positions held by 2d Battalion, 164th Infantry, on Puller's left--was just too much to take. Near dawn, Maruyama pulled his men back to regroup and prepare to attack again.\nWith daylight, Puller and Hall reordered the lines, putting the 3d Battalion, 164th, into its own positions on Puller's left, tying in with the rest of the Army regiment. The driving rains had turned Fighter One into a quagmire, effectively grounding Cactus flyers. Japanese planes used the \"free ride\" to bomb Marine positions. Their artillery fired incessantly and a pair of Japanese destroyers added their gunfire to the bombardment until they got too close to the shore and the 3d Defense Battalion's 5-inch guns drove them off. As the sun bore down, the runways dried and afternoon enemy attacks were met by Cactus fighters, who downed 22 Japanese planes with a loss of three of their own.\nAs night came on again, Maruyama tried more of the same, with the same result. The Army-Marine lines held and the Japanese were cut down in droves by rifle, machine gun, mortar, 37mm, and artillery fire. To the west, an enemy battalion mounted three determined attacks against the positions held by Lieutenant Colonel Herman H. Hanneken's 2d Battalion, 7th Marines, thinly tied in with Puller's battalion on the left and the 3d Battalion, 7th Marines, on the right. The enemy finally penetrated the positions held by Company F, but a counterattack led by Major Odell M. Conoley, the battalion's executive officer, drove off the Japanese. Again at daylight the American positions were secure and the enemy had retreated. They would not come back; the grand Japanese offensive of the Sendai Division was over.\nAbout 3,500 enemy troops had died during the attacks. General Maruyama's proud boast that he \"would exterminate the enemy around the airfield in one blow\" proved an empty one. What was left of his force now straggled back over the Maruyama Trail, losing, as had the Kawaguchi force in the same situation, most of its seriously wounded\nmen. The Americans, Marines and soldiers together, probably lost 300 men killed and wounded; existing records are sketchy and incomplete. One result of the battle, however, was a warm welcome to the 164th Infantry from the 1st Marine Division. Vandegrift particularly commended Lieutenant Colonel Hall's battalion, stating the \"division was proud to have serving with it another unit which had stood the test of battle.\" And Colonel Cates sent a message to the 164th's Colonel Bryant Moore saying that the 1st Marines \"were proud to serve with a unit such as yours.\"\nAmidst all the heroics of the two nights' fighting there were many men who were singled out for recognition and an equally large number who performed great deeds that were never recognized. Two men stood out above all others, and on succeeding nights, Sergeant John Basilone of the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, and Platoon Sergeant Mitchell Paige of the 2d Battalion, both machine gun section heads, were recognized as having performed \"above and beyond the call of duty\" in the inspiring words of their Medal of Honor citations.\nHeavy tropical downpours at Guadalcanal all but flood out a Marine camp near Henderson Field, and the field as well.

The enemy force was formidable, 4 carriers and 4 battleships, 8 cruisers and 28 destroyers, all poised for a victorious attack when Maruyama's capture of Henderson Field was signalled. Admiral Halsey's reaction to the inviting targets was characteristic, he signaled Rear Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, with the Hornet and Enterprise carrier groups located north of the New Hebrides: \"Attack Repeat Attack.\"\nEarly on 26 October, American SBDs located the Japanese carriers at about the same time Japanese scout planes spotted the American carriers. The Japanese Zuiho's flight deck was holed by the scout bombers, cancelling flight operations, but the other three enemy carriers launched strikes. The two air armadas tangled as each strove to reach the other's carriers. The Hornet was hit repeatedly by bombs and torpedoes; two Japanese pilots also crashed their planes on board. The damage to the ship was so extensive, the Hornet was abandoned and sunk. The Enterprise, the battleship South Dakota, the light cruiser San Juan (CL-54), and the destroyer Porter (DD-356) were sunk. On the Japanese side, no ships were sunk, but three carriers and two destroyers were damaged. One hundred Japanese planes were lost; 74 U.S. planes went down. Taken together, the results of the Battle of Santa Cruz were a standoff. The Japanese naval leaders might have continued their attacks, but instead,\nMarine engineers repair a flood-damaged Lunga River bridge washed out during a period when 8 inches of rain fell in 24 hours and the river rose 7 feet above normal.\ndisheartened by the defeat of their ground forces on Guadalcanal, withdrew to attack another day.\nThe departure of the enemy naval force marked a period in which substantial reinforcements reached the island. The headquarters of the 2d Marines had finally found transport space to come up from Espiritu Santo and on 29 and 30 October, Colonel Arthur moved his regiment from Tulagi to Guadalcanal, exchanging his 1st and 2d Battalions for the well-blooded 3d, which took up the Tulagi duties. The 2d Marines' battalions at Tulagi had performed the very necessary task of scouting and securing all the small islands of the Florida group while they had camped, frustrated, watching the battles across Sealark Channel. The men now would no longer be spectators at the big show.\nOn 2 November, planes from VMSB-132 and VMF-211 flew into the Cactus fields from New Caledonia. MAG-11 squadrons moved forward from New Caledonia to Espiritu Santo to be closer to the battle scene; the flight echelons now could operate forward to Guadalcanal and with relative ease. On the ground side, two batteries of 155mm guns, one Army and one Marine, landed on 2 November, providing Vandegrift with his first artillery units capable of matching the enemy's long-range 150mm guns. On the 4th and 5th, the 8th Marines (Colonel Richard H.J. Jeschke) arrived from American Samoa. The full-strength regiment, reinforced by the 75mm howitzers of the 1st Battalion, 10th Marines, added another 4,000 men to the defending forces. All the fresh troops reflected a renewed emphasis at all levels of command on making sure Guadalcanal would be held. The reinforcement-replacement pipeline was being filled. In the offing as part of the Guadalcanal defending force were the rest of the Americal Division, the remainder of the 2d Marine Division, and the Army's 25th Infantry Division, then in Hawaii. More planes of every type and from Allied as well as American sources were slated to reinforce and replace the battered and battle-weary Cactus veterans.\nThe impetus for the heightened pace of reinforcement had been provided by President Roosevelt. Cutting through the myriad demands for American forces worldwide, he had told each of the Joint Chiefs on 24 October that Guadalcanal must be reinforced, and without delay.\nOn the island, the pace of operations did not slacken after the Maruyama offensive was beaten back. General Vandegrift wanted to clear the area immediately west of the Matanikau of all Japanese troops, forestalling, if he could, another buildup of attacking forces. Admiral Tanaka's Tokyo Express was still operating and despite punishing attacks by Cactus aircraft and new and deadly opponents, American motor torpedo boats, now based at Tulagi.\nOn 1 November, the 5th Marines, backed up by the newly arrived 2d Marines, attacked across bridges engineers had laid over the Matanikau\n2dLt Mitchell Paige, third from left, and PltSgt John Basilone, extreme right, received the Medal of Honor at a parade at Camp Balcombe, Australia, on 21 May 1943.

Note the 1st Marine Division patches on the right shoulders of each participant.\nduring the previous night. Inland, Colonel Whaling led his scout-snipers and the 3d Battalion, 7th Marines, in a screening movement to protect the flank of the main attack. Opposition was fierce in the shore area where the 1st Battalion, 5th, drove forward toward Point Cruz, but inland the 2d Battalion and Whaling's group encountered slight opposition. By nightfall, when the Marines dug in, it was clear that the only sizable enemy force was in the Point Cruz area. In the day's bitter fighting, Corporal Anthony Casamento, a badly wounded machine gun squad leader in Edson's 1st Battalion, had so distinguished himself that he was recommended for a Navy Cross; many years later, in August 1980, President Jimmy Carter approved the award of the Medal of Honor in its stead.\nOn the 2d, the attack continued with the reserve 3d Battalion moving into the fight and all three 5th Marines units moving to surround the enemy defenders. On 3 November, the Japanese pocket just west of the base at Point Cruz was eliminated; well over 300 enemy had been killed. Elsewhere, the attacking Marines had encountered spotty resistance and advanced slowly across difficult terrain to a point about 1,000 yards beyond the 5th Marines' action. There, just as the offensive's objectives seemed well in hand, the advance was halted. Again, the intelligence that a massive enemy reinforcement attempt was pending forced Vandegrift to pull back most of his men to safeguard the all-important airfield perimeter. This time, however, he left a regiment to outpost the ground that had been gained, Colonel Arthur's 2d Marines, reinforced by the Army's 1st Battalion, 164th Infantry.\nEmphasizing the need for caution in Vandegrift's mind was the fact that the Japanese were again discovered in strength east of the perimeter. On 3 November, Lieutenant Colonel Hanneken's 23d Battalion, 7th Marines, on a reconnaissance in force towards Kili Point, could see the Japanese ships clustered near Tetere, eight miles from the perimeter. His Marines encountered strong Japanese resistance from obviously fresh\n75mm Pack Howitzer--Workhorse of the Artillery\nDuring the summer of 1930, the Marine Corps began replacing its old French 75mm guns (Model 1897) with the 75mm Pack Howitzer Model 1923-E2. This weapon was designed for use in the Army primarily as mountain artillery. Since it could be broken down and manhandled ashore in six loads from ships' boats, the pack howitzer was an important supporting weapon of the Marine Corps' landing forces in prewar landing exercises.\nThe 75mm pack howitzer saw extensive service with the Marine Corps throughout World War II in almost every major landing in the Pacific. Crewed by five Marines, the howitzer could hurl a 16-pound shell nearly 10,000 yards. In the D Series table of organization with which the 1st Marine Division went to war, and through the following E and F series, there were three pack howitzer battalions for each artillery regiment.--Anthony Wayne Tommell and Kenneth L. Smith-Christmas\nMarine Corps Historical Photo Collection\nIn a White House ceremony, former Cpl Anthony Casamento, a machine gun squad leader in the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, was decorated by President Jimmy Carter on 22 August 1980, 38 years after the battle for Guadalcanal.

A regiment of the enemy's 38th Division had landed, as Hyakutake experimented with a Japanese Navy-promoted scheme of attacking the perimeter from both flanks.\nAs Hanneken's battalion executed a fighting withdrawal along the beach, it began to receive fire from the jungle inland, too. A rescue force was soon put together under General Rupertus: two tank companies, the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, and the 2d and 3d Battalions of the 164th. The Japanese troops, members of the 38th Division regiment and remnants of Kawaguchi's brigade, fought doggedly to hold their ground as the Marines drove forward along the coast and the soldiers attempted to outflank the enemy in the jungle. The running battle continued for days, supported by Cactus air, naval gunfire, and the newly landed 155mm guns.\nThe enemy commander received new orders as he was struggling to hold off the Americans. He was to break off the action, move inland, and march to rejoin the main Japanese forces west of the perimeter, a tall order to fulfill. The two-pronged attack scheme had been abandoned. The Japanese managed the first part; on the 11th the enemy force found a gap in the 164th's line and broke through along a meandering jungle stream. Behind they left 450 dead over the course of a seven-day battle; the Marines and soldiers had lost 40 dead and 120 wounded.\nEssentially, the Japanese who broke out of the encircling Americans escaped from the frying pan only to fall into the fire. Admiral Turner finally had been ably to effect one of his several schemes for alternative landings and beachheads, all of which General Vandegrift vehemently opposed. At Aola Bay, 40 miles east of the main perimeter, the Navy put an airfield construction and defense force ashore on 4 November. Then, while the Japanese were still battling the Marines near Tetere, Vandegrift was able to persuade Turner to detach part of this landing force, the 2d Raider Battalion, to sweep west, to discover and destroy any enemy forces it encountered.\nLieutenant Colonel Evans F. Carlson's raider battalion already had seen action before it reached Guadalcanal. Two companies had reinforced the defenders of Midway Island when the Japanese attacked there in June. The rest of the battalion had landed from submarines on Makin Island in the Gilberts on 17-18 August, destroying the garrison there. For his part in the fighting on Makin, Sergeant Clyde Thomason had been awarded a Medal of Honor posthumously, the first Marine enlisted man to receive his country's highest award in World War II.\nIn its march from Aola Bay, the 2d Raider Battalion encountered the Japanese who were attempting to retreat to the west. On 12 November, the raiders beat off attacks by two enemy companies and they relentlessly pursued the Japanese, fighting a series of small actions over the next five days before the contacted the main Japanese body. From 17 November to 4 December, when the raiders finally came down out of the jungled ridges into the perimeter, Carlson's men harried the retreating\nSgt Clyde Thomason, who was killed in action participating in the Makin Island raid with the 2d Raider Battalion, was the first enlisted Marine in World War II to be awarded the Medal of Honor.\nNative guides lead 2d Raider Battalion Marines on a combat/reconnaissance patrol behind Japanese lines. The patrol lasted for less than a month, during which the Marines covered 150 miles and fought more than a dozen actions.\nenemy. They killed nearly 500 Japanese. Their own losses were 16 killed and 18 wounded.\nThe Aola Bay venture, which had provided the 2d Raider Battalion a starting point for its month-long jungle campaign, proved a bust. The site chosen for a new airfield was unsuitable, too wet and unstable, and the whole force moved to Koli Point in early December, where another airfield eventually was constructed.\nThe buildup on Guadalcanal continued, by both sides. On 11 November, guarded by a cruiser-destroyer covering force, a convoy ran in carrying the 182d Infantry, another regiment of the Americal Division. The ships were pounded by enemy bombers and three transports were hit, but the men landed. General Vandegrift needed the new men badly. His veterans were truly ready for replacement; more than a thousand new cases of malaria and related diseases were reported each week. The Japanese who had been on the island any length of time were no better off; they were, in fact, in worse shape. Medical supplies and rations were in short supply. The whole thrust of the Japanese reinforcement effort continued to be to get troops and combat equipment ashore. The idea prevailed in Tokyo, despite all evidence to the contrary, that one overwhelming coordinated assault would crush the American resistance. The enemy drive to take Port Moresby on New Guinea was put on hold to concentrate all efforts on driving the Americans off of Guadalcanal.\nOn 12 November, a multifaceted Japanese naval force converged on Guadalcanal to cover the landing of the main body of the 38th Division. Rear Admiral Daniel J. Callaghan's cruisers and destroyers, the close-in protection for the 182d's transports, moved to stop the enemy. Coastwatcher and scout plane sightings and radio traffic intercepts had identified two battleships, two carriers, four cruisers, and a host of destroyers all headed toward Guadalcanal. A bombardment group led by the battleships Hiei and Kirishima, with the light cruiser Nagura, and 15 destroyers spearheaded the attack. Shortly after midnight, near Savo Island, Callaghan's cruisers picked up the Japanese on radar and continued to close. The battle was joined at such short range that each side fired at times on their own ships. Callaghan's flagship, the San Francisco, was hit 15 times, Callaghan was killed, and the ship had to limp away. The cruiser Atlanta (CL-51) was also hit and set afire. Rear Admiral Norman Scott, who was on board, was killed. Despite the hammering by Japanese fire, the Americans held and continued fighting. The battleship Hiei, hit by more than 80 shells, retired and with it went the rest of the bombardment force. Three destroyers were sunk and four others damaged.\nThe Americans had accomplished their purpose; they had forced the\nDepartment of Defense (Navy) Photo 80-G-20824 Department of Defense (Navy) Photo 80-G-G-21099\nIn the great naval Battle of Guadalcanal, 12-15 November, RAdm Daniel J. Callaghan was killed when his flagship, the heavy cruiser San Francisco (CA-38) took 15 major hits and was forced to limp away in the dark from the scene of action.\nJapanese to turn back. The cost was high. Two antiaircraft cruisers, the Atlanta and the Juneau (CL-52), were sunk; four destroyers, the Barton (DD-599), Cushing (DD-376), Monssen (DD-436), and Laffey (DD-459), also went to the bottom. In addition to the San Francisco, the heavy cruiser Portland and the destroyers Sterret (DD-407), and Aaron Ward (DD-483) were damaged. One one destroyer of the 13 American ships engaged, the Fletcher (DD-445), was unscathed when the survivors retired to the New Hebrides.\nWith daylight came the Cactus bombers and fighters; they found the crippled Hiei and pounded it mercilessly. On the 14th the Japanese were forced to scuttle it. Admiral Halsey ordered his only surviving carrier, the Enterprise, out of the Guadalcanal area to get it out of reach of Japanese aircraft and sent his battleships Washington (BB-56) and South Dakota with four escorting destroyers north to meet the Japanese. Some of the Enterprise's planes flew in to Henderson Field to help even the odds.\nOn 14 November Cactus and Enterprise flyers found a Japanese cruiser-destroyer force that had pounded the island on the night of 13 November. They damaged four cruisers and a destroyer. After refueling and rearming they went after the approaching Japanese troop convoy. They hit several transports in one attack and sank one when they came back again. Army B-17s up from Espiritu Santo scored one hit and several near misses, bombing from 17,000 feet.\nMoving in a continuous pattern of attack, return, refuel, rearm, and attack again, the planes from Guadalcanal hit nine transports, sinking seven. Many of the 5,000 troops on the stricken ships were rescued by Tanaka's destroyers, which were firing furiously and laying smoke screens in an attempt to protect the transports. The admiral later recalled that day as indelible in his mind, with memories of \"bombs wobbling down from high-flying B-17s; of carrier bombers roaring towards targets as though to plunge full into the water, releasing bombs and pulling out barely in time, each miss sending up towering clouds of mist and spray, every hit raising clouds of smoke and fire.\" Despite the intensive aerial attack, Tanaka continued on to Guadalcanal with four destroyers and four transports.\nJapanese intelligence had picked up the approaching American battleship force and warned Tanaka of its advent. In turn, the enemy admirals sent their own battleship-cruiser force to intercept. The Americans, led by Rear Admiral Willis A. Lee in the Washington, reached Sealark Channel about 2100 on the 14th. An hour later, a Japanese cruiser was picked up north of Savo. Battleship fire soon turned it away. The Japanese now learned that their opponents would not be the cruisers they expected.\nThe resulting clash, fought in the glare of gunfire and Japanese searchlights, was perhaps the most significant fought at sea for Guadalcanal. When the melee was over, the American battleships' 16-inch guns had more than matched the Japanese. Both the South Dakota and the Washington were damaged badly\nThe Japanese Model 89 (1929)\n50mm Heavy Grenade Discharger\nBorn out of the need to bridge the gap in range between hand grenades and mortars, the grenade discharger evolved in the Imperial Japanese Army from a special purpose weapon of infantry assault and defense to an essential item of standard equipment with all Japanese ground forces.\nCommonly called Juteki by the Japanese, this weapon officially was designated Hachikyu Shiki Jutekidarto, or 1189 Model Heavy Grenade Discharger, the term \"heavy\" being justified by the powerful 1-pound, 12-ounce high explosive shell it was designed to fire, although it also fired the standard Model 91 fragmentation grenade.\nTo the American Marines and soldiers who first encountered this weapon and others of its kind in combat they were known as \"knee mortars,\" likely so named because they generally were fired from a kneeling position. Typically, the discharger's concave baseplate was pressed firmly into the surface of the ground by the firer's foot to support the heavy recoil of the fired shell, but unfortunately the term \"knee mortar\" suggested to some untutored captors of these weapons that they were to be fired with the baseplate resting against the knee or thigh. When a Marine fired on of these dischargers from his thigh and broke his upper leg bone, efforts were swiftly undertaken in the field to educate all combat troops in the safe and proper handling of these very useful weapons.\nThe Model 89 (1929) 50mm Heavy Grenade Discharger is a muzzle-loaded, high-angle-of-fire weapon which weighs 10-1/4 pounds and is 24 inches in overall length. Its design is compact and simple. The discharger has three major components: the rifled barrel, the supporting barrel pedestal with firing mechanism, and the base plate. Operation of the Model 899 was easy and straightforward, and with practice its user could deliver accurate fire registered quickly on target.\nEncountered in all major battles in the Pacific War, the Model 89 Grenade Discharger was an uncomplicated, very portable, and highly efficient weapon operated easily by one man. It was carried in a cloth or leather case with a sling, and its one-piece construction allowed it to be brought into action very quickly. This grenade discharger had the advantage over most mortars in that it could be aimed and fired mechanically after a projectile had been placed in the barrel, projectile firing not being dependent upon dropping down the barrel against a stationary firing pin as with most mortars, where barrel fouling sometimes caused dangerous hangfires. Although an instantaneous fuze employed on the Model 89 high explosive shell restricted this shell's use to open areas, the Model 91 fragmentation grenade with its seven-second fuze made this discharger effective in a jungle or forest setting, with complete safety for the user from premature detonation of projectiles by overhanging foliage. Smoke and signal shells, and an incendiary grenade, were special types of ammunition used with this versatile and effective weapons which won the respect of all who came to know it.--Edwin F. Libby\nenough to force their retirement, but the Kirishima was punished to its abandonment and death. One Japanese and three American destroyers, the Benham (DD-796), the Walke (DD-416), and the Preston (DD-379), were sunk. When the Japanese attack force retired, Admiral Tanaka ran his four transports onto the beach, knowing they would be sitting targets at daylight. Most of the men on board, however, did manage to get ashore before the inevitable pounding by American planes, warships, and artillery.\nTen thousand troops of the 38th Division had landed, but the Japanese were in no shape to ever again attempt a massive reinforcement.

Many enemy troops were killed in the attacks.\ntime to favor the Japanese, did not really represent a standoff. Every American ship lost or damaged could and would be replaced; every Japanese ship lost meant a steadily diminishing fleet. In the air, the losses on both sides were daunting, but the enemy naval air arm would never recover from its losses of experienced carrier pilots. Two years later, the Battle of the Philippine Sea between American and Japanese carriers would aptly be called the \"Marianas Turkey Shoot\" because of the ineptitude of the Japanese trainee pilots.\nThe enemy troops who had been fortunate enough to reach land were not immediately ready to assault the American positions. The 38th Division and the remnants of the various Japanese units that had previously tried to penetrate the Marine lines needed to be shaped into a coherent attack force before General Hyakutake could again attempt to take Henderson Field.\nGeneral Vandegrift now had enough fresh units to begin to replace his veteran troops along the front lines. The decision to replace the 1st Marine Division with the Army's 25th Infantry Division had been made. Admiral Turner had told Vandegrift to leave all of his heavy equipment on the island when he did pull out \"in hopes of getting your units re-equipped when you come out.\" He also told the Marine general that the Army would command the final phases of the Guadalcanal operation since it would provide the majority of the combat forces once the 1st Division departed. Major General Alexander M. Patch, commander of the Americal Division. would relieve Vandegrift as senior American officer ashore. His air support would continue to be Marine-dominated as General Geiger, now located on Espiritu Santo with 1st Wing headquarters, fed his squadrons forward to maintain the offensive. And the air command on Guadalcanal itself would continue to be a mixed bag of Army, Navy, Marine, and Allied squadrons.\nThe sick list of the 1st Marine Division in November included more than 3,200 men with malaria. The men of the 1st still manning the frontline foxholes and the rear areas--if anyplace within Guadalcanal's perimeter could properly be called a rear area--were plain worn out. They had done their part and they knew it.\nOn 29 November, General Vandegrift was handed a message from the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The crux of it read: \"1st MarDiv is to be relived without delay ... and will proceed to Australia for rehabilitation and employment.\" The word soon spread that the 1st was leaving and where it was going. Australia was not yet the cherished place it would become in the division's future, but any place was preferable to Guadalcanal.\nDecember and the Final Stages\nOn 7 December, one year after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, General Vandegrift sent a message to all men under his command in the Guadalcanal area thanking them for their courage and steadfastness, commending particularly the pilots and \"all who labored and sweated within the lines in all manner of prodigious and vital tasks.\" He reminded them all that their \"unbelievable achievements had made 'Guadalcanal' a synonym for death and disaster in the language of our enemy.\" On 9 December, he handed over his command to General Patch and flew out to Australia\nAmerical Division commander, MajGen Alexander M. Patch, Jr., watches while his troops and supplies are staged on Guadalcanal's beaches on 8 December, the day before he relieved Gen Vandegrift and his wornout 1st Marine Division.\nat the same time the first elements of the 5th Marines were boarding ship. The 1st, 11th, and 7th Marines would soon follow together with all the division's supporting units. The men who were leaving were thin, tired, hollow-eyed, and apathetic; they were young men who had grown old in four months time. They left behind 681 dead in the island's cemetery.\nThe final regiment of the Americal Division, the 132d Infantry, landed on 8 December as the 5th Marines was preparing to leave. The 2d Marine Division's regiments already on the island, the 2d, 8th, and part of the 10th, knew that the 6th Marines was on its way to rejoin. It seemed to many of the men of the 2d Marines, who had landed on D-Day, 7 August, that they, too, should be leaving. These took slim comfort in the thought that they, by all rights, should be the first of the 2d to depart the island whenever that hoped-for day came.\nGeneral Patch received a steady stream of ground reinforcements and replacements in December. He was not ready yet to undertake a full-scale offensive until the 25th Division and the rest of the 2d Marine Division arrived, but he kept all frontline units active in combat and reconnaissance patrols, particularly toward the western flank.\nThe island commander's air defense capabilities also grew substantially. Cactus Air Force, organized into a fighter command and a strike (bomber) command, now operated from a newly redesignated Marine Corps Air Base. The Henderson Field complex included a new airstrip, Fighter Two, which replaced Fighter One, which had severe drainage problems. Brigadier General Louis Woods, who had taken over as senior aviator when Geiger returned to Espiritu Santo, was relieved on 26 December by Brigadier General Francis P. Mulcahy, Commanding General, 2d Marine Aircraft Wing. New fighter and bomber squadrons from both the 1st and 2d Wings sent their flight echelons forward on a regular basis. The Army added three fighter squadrons and a medium bomber squadron of B-26s. The Royal New Zealand Air Force flew in a reconnaissance squadron of Lockheed Hudsons. And the U.S. Navy sent forward a squadron of Consolidated\nAs he tells it, \"Too Many, Too Close, Too Long,\" is Donald L. Dickson's portrait of one of the \"little guys, just plain worn out.

He is through.\"\nThe 'George' Medal\nThe George Medal is legendary among 1st Marine Division veterans of Guadalcanal. Only about 50 were cast, in Australia, before the mold gave out.\nThe medal commemorates the difficult situation of the division during the early days on Guadalcanal, when ammunition, food, and heavy equipment were short and the Japanese plentiful. When the issue was no longer in doubt, Marine had time to reflect on the D-plus-3 Navy withdrawal in the face of increasing Japanese air attacks and surface action which left the division in such a tight spot.\nIn the recollection of then-Captain Donald L. Dickson, adjutant of the 5th Marines, the Division G-3, then-Lieutenant Colonel Merrill B. Twining, resolved to commemorate the occasion. Twining told artist Dickson in general terms what he had in mind. Dickson went to work designing an appropriate medal using a fifty-cent piece to draw a circle on a captured Japanese blank military postcard.\nDickson's design was approved and when the division got to Australia a mold was made by a local metal craftsman and a small number were cast before the mold became unserviceable. Those wanting a medal paid one Australian pound for it and received a certificate as well. The medals are now an even greater rarity than at the time. In recent years, reproductions have been cast, and can be identified by the different metal and a poor definition of details.\nThe obverse design shows a hand and sleeve dropping a hot potato in the shape of Guadalcanal into the arms of a grateful Marine. In the original design the sleeve bore the stripes of a vice admiral intended to be either Vice Admiral Robert L. Ghormley, ComSoPac, or Vice Admiral Frank Jack Fletcher, Commander Joint Expeditionary Force, but the final medal diplomatically omitted this identification.\nAlso on the obverse is a Saguaro cactus, indigenous to Arizona, not Guadalcanal, but representing the code name for the island, \"Cactus.\" The obverse inscription if Facia Georgius, \"Let George Do It.\" Thus it became known as the George Medal.\nThe medal's reverse pictures a cow (the original design showed a Japanese soldier with breeches down) and an electric fan, and is inscribed: \"In fond remembrance of the happy days spent from Aug. 7th 1942 to Jan. 5th 1943. U.S.M.C.\"\nThe suspension ribbon was made, appropriately, of the pale green herringbone twill from some Marine's utility uniform. Legend has it that to be authentic the utilities from which the ribbons were made had to have been washed in the waters of Guadalcanal's Lunga River. Some medals were provided with the oversized safety pin used to identify laundry bags in Navy shipboard laundries.\nSuch unofficial commemorative mementos are not uncommon in military circles and recall, among other, the Soochow Creek medals recognizing the defense of Shanghai's International Settlement during the Japanese invasions of 1932 and 1937 which were inspired by the Military Order of the Dragon medals of veterans of the China Relief Expedition or Boxer Rebellion. -- Brooke Nihart\nPBY Catalina patrol planes which had a much needed night-flying capability.\nThe aerial buildup forced the Japanese to curtail all air attacks and made daylight naval reinforcement attempts an event of the past. The nighttime visits of the Tokyo Express destroyers now brought only supplies encased in metal drums which were rolled over the ships' sides in hope they would float into shore. The men ashore desperately needed everything that could be sent, even by this method, but most of the drums never reached the beaches.\nStill, however desperate the enemy situation was becoming, he was prepared to fight. General Hyakutake continued to plan the seizure of the airfield. General Hitoshi Immamura, commander of the Eighth Area Army, arrived in Rabaul on 2 December with orders to continue the offensive. He had 50,000 men to add to the embattled Japanese troops on Guadalcanal.\nBefore these new enemy units could be employed, the Americans were prepared to move out from the perimeter in their own offensive. Conscious that the Mt. Austen area was a continuing threat to his inland flank in any drive to the west, Patch committed the Americal's 132d Infantry to the task of clearing the mountain's wooded slopes on 17 December. The Army regiment succeeded in isolating the major Japanese force in the area by early January. The 1st Battalion, 2d Marines, took up hill positions to the southeast of the 132d to increase flank protection.\nBy this time, the 25th Infantry Division (Major General J. Lawton Collins) had arrived and so had the 6th Marines (6 January) and the rest of the 2d Division's headquarters and support troops. Brigadier General Alphonse De Carre, the Marine division's assistant commander, took charge of all Marine ground forces on the island. The 2d Division's commander, Major General John Marston, remained in New Zealand because he was senior to General Patch.\nWith three divisions under his command, General Patch was designated Commanding General, XIV Corps, on 2 January. His corps headquarters numbered less than a score of officers and men, almost all taken from the Americal's staff. Brigadier General Edmund B. Sebree, who had already led both Army and Marine units in attacks on the Japanese, took command of the Americal Division. On 10 January, Patch gave the signal to start the strongest American offensive yet in the Guadalcanal campaign. The mission of the troops was simple and to the point: \"Attack and destroy the Japanese forces remaining on Guadalcanal.\"\nThe initial objective of the corps' attack was a line about 1,000 to 1,500 yards west of jump-off positions. These ran inland from Point Cruz to the vicinity of Hill 66, about 3,000 yards from the beach. In order to reach Hill 66, the 25th Infantry Division attacked first with the 35th and 27th Infantry driving west and southwest across a scrambled series of ridges. The going was rough and the dug-in enemy, elements of two regiments of the 38th Division, gave way reluctantly and slowly. By the 13th, however, the American soldiers, aided by Marines of the 1st Battalion, 2d Marines, had won through to positions on the southern flank of the 2d Marine Division.\nOn 12 January, the Marines began their advance with the 8th Marines along the shore and 2d Marines inland. At the base of Point Cruz, in the 3d Battalion, 8th Marines' sector, regimental weapons company half-tracks ran over seven enemy machine gun nests. The attack was then held up by an extensive emplacement until the weapons company commander, Captain Henry P. \"Jim\" Crowe, took charge of a half-dozen Marine infantrymen taking cover from enemy fire with the classic remarks: \"You'll never get a Purple Heart hiding in a fox hole. Follow me!\" The men did and they destroyed the emplacement.\nAll along the front of the advancing assault companies the going was rough. The Japanese, remnants of the Sendai Division, were dug into the sides of a series of cross compartments and their fire took the Marines in the flank as they advanced. Progress was slow despite massive artillery support and naval gunfire from four destroyers offshore. In two days of heavy fighting, flamethrowers were employed for the first time and tanks were brought into play. The 2d Marines was now relieved and the 6th Marines moved into the attack along the coast while the 8th\nU.S. Halftrack\nMounting a 75mm Pack Howitzer and a .50-Caliber Air-Cooled Machine Gun\nFinal Phase: 26 January--9 February 1943\nMarines took up the advance inland. Naval gunfire support, spotted by naval officers ashore, improved measurably. On the 15th, the Americans, both Army and Marine, reached the initial corps objective. In the Marine attack zone, 600 Japanese were dead.\nThe battle-weary 2d Marines had seen its last infantry action of Guadalcanal. A new unit now came into being, a composite Army-Marine division, or CAM division, formed from units of the Americal and 2d Marine Divisions. The directing staff was from the 2d Division, since the Americal had responsibility for the main perimeter. Two of its regiments, the 147th and the 182d Infantry, moved up to attack in line with the 6th Marines still along the coast. The 8th Marines was essentially pinched out of the front lines by a narrowing attack corridor as the inland mountains and hills pressed closer to the coastal trail. The 25th Division, which was advancing across this rugged terrain, had the mission of outflanking the Japanese in the vicinity of Kokumbona, while the CAM Division drove west. On the 23d, as the CAM troops approached Kokumbona, the 1st Battalion of the 27th Infantry struck north out of the hills and overran the village site and Japanese base. There was only slight but steady opposition to the American advance as the enemy withdrew west toward Cape Esperance.\nThe Japanese had decided, reluctantly, to give up the attempt to retake Guadalcanal. The orders were sent in the name of the Emperor and senior staff officers were sent to Guadalcanal to ensure their acceptance. The Navy would make the final runs of the Tokyo Express, only this time in reverse, to evacuate the garrison so it could fight again in later battles to hold the Solomons.\nReceiving intelligence that enemy ships were massing again to the northwest, General Patch took steps, as Vandegrift had before him on many occasions, to guard against overextending his forces in the face of what appeared to be another enemy attempt at reinforcement. He pulled the 25th Division back to bolster the main perimeter defenses and ordered the CAM Division to continue its attack. When the Marines and soldiers moved out on 26 January, they had a surprisingly easy time of it, gaining 1,000 yards the first day\nand 2,000 the following day. The Japanese were still contesting every attack, but not in strength.\nBy 30 January, the sole frontline unit in the American advance was the 147th Infantry; the 6th Marines held positions to its left rear.\nThe Japanese destroyer transports made their first run to the island on the night of 1-2 February, taking out 2,300 men from evacuation positions near Cape Esperance. On the night of 4-5 February, they returned and took out most of the Sendai survivors and General Hyakutake and his Seventeenth Army staff. The final evacuation operation was carried out on the night of 7-8 February, when a 3,000-man rear guard was embarked. In all, the Japanese withdrew about 11,000 men in those three nights and evacuated about 13,000 soldiers from Guadalcanal overall. The Americans would meet many of these men again in later battles, but not the 600 evacuees who died, too worn and sick to survive their rescue.\nOn 9 February, American soldiers advancing from east and west met at Tenaro village on Cape Esperance. The only Marine ground unit still in action was the 3d Battalion, 10th Marines, supporting the advance. General Patch could happily report the \"complete and total defeat of Japanese forces on Guadalcanal.\" Nor organized Japanese units remained.\nOn 31 January, the 2d Marines and the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, boarded ship to leave Guadalcanal. As was true with the 1st Marine Division, some of these men were so debilitated by malaria they had to be carried on board. All of them struck observers again as young men grown old \"with their skins cracked and furrowed and wrinkled.\" On 9 February, the rest of the 8th Marines and a good part of the division supporting units boarded transports. The 6th Marines, thankfully only six weeks on the island, left on the 19th. All were headed for Wellington, New Zealand, the 2d Marines for the first time. Left behind on the island as a legacy of the 2d Marine Division were 263 dead.\nThe total cost of the Guadalcanal campaign to the American ground combat forces was 1,598 officers and men killed, 1,152 of them Marines.\nPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt presents Gen Vandegrift the Medal of Honor for his heroic accomplishments against the Japanese in the Solomons. Looking on are Mrs. Vandegrift, and the general's son, Maj Alexander A. Vandegrift, Jr.\nNational Archives Photo 208-PU-209V-4\nThe temporary resting place of a Marine killed in the fighting at Lunga Point is shown here. The grave marker was erected by his friends. The Marine's remains were later removed to the division cemetery on Guadalcanal, and further reburial at war's end either in his hometown or the Punchbowl National Cemetery in Hawaii with the honors due a fallen hero.\nThe wounded totaled 4,709, and 2,799 of these were Marines. Marine aviation casualties were 147 killed and 127 wounded. The Japanese in their turn lost close to 25,000 men on Guadalcanal, about half of whom were killed in action. The rest succumbed to illness, wounds, and starvation.\nAt sea, the comparative losses were about equal, with each side losing about the same number of fighting ships. The enemy loss of 2 battleships, 3 carriers, 12 cruisers, and 25 destroyers, was irreplaceable. The Allied ships losses, though costly, were not fatal; in essence, all ships lost were replaced. In the air, at least 600 Japanese planes were shot down; even more costly was the death of 2,300 experienced pilots and aircrewmen. The Allied plane losses were less than half the enemy's number and the pilot and aircrew losses substantially lower.\nPresident Roosevelt, reflecting the thanks of a grateful nation, awarded General Vandegrift the Medal of Honor for \"outstanding and heroic accomplishment\" in his leadership of American forces on Guadalcanal from 7 August to 9 December 1942. And for the same period, he awarded the Presidential Unit Citation to the 1st Marine Division (Reinforced) for \"outstanding gallantry\" reflecting \"courage and determination ... of an inspiring order.\" Included in the division's citation and award, besides the organic units of the 1st Division, were the 2d and 8th Marines and attached units of the 2d Marine Division, all of the Americal Division, the 1st Parachute and 1st and 2d Raider Battalions, elements of the 3d, 5th, and 14th Defense Battalions, the 1st Aviation Engineer Battalion, the 6th Naval Construction Battalion, and two motor torpedo boat squadrons. The indispensable Cactus Air Force was included, also represented by 7 Marine headquarters and service squadrons, 16 Marine flying squadrons, 16 Navy flying squadrons, and 5 Army flying squadrons.\nThe victory at Guadalcanal marked a crucial turning point in the Pacific War. No longer were the Japanese on the offensive. Some of the Japanese Emperor's best infantrymen, pilots, and seamen had been bested in close combat by the Americans and their Allies. There were years of fierce fighting ahead, but there was now no question of its outcome.\nWhen the veterans of the 1st Marine Division were gathered in thankful reunion 20 years later, they received a poignant message from Guadalcanal. The sender was a legend to all \"Canal\" Marines, Honorary U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Major Jacob C. Vouza. The Solomons native in his halting English said: \"Tell them I love them all. Me old man now, and me no look good no more. But me never forget.\"\n[*] The same Ichiki who commanded the Japanese troops at the Marco Polo Bridge in 1937 during the beginning of the \"China Incident\" which led directly to the Second World War.\nThe basic source work for this booklet is the first volume in the series History of U.S. Marine Corps Operations in World War II, Pearl Harbor to Guadalcanal, written by LtCol Frank O. Hough, Maj Verle E. Ludwig, and Henry I. Shaw, Jr. (Washington: Historical Branch, G-3 Division, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, 1958). Other books used in writing this narrative were: BGen Samuel B. Griffith II, The Battle for Guadalcanal (Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott, 1963); Gen Alexander A. Vandegrift as told to Robert B. Asprey, Once a Marine: The Memoirs of General A. A. Vandegrift, USMC (New York: W.W.

Johnston, Follow Me! The Story of the Second Marine Division in World War II (New York: Random House, 1948).\nThe correspondence of General Vandegrift with General Holcomb and other senior Marines, held at the Marine Corps Historical Center, was helpful. Equally of value were conversations that the author had had with General Vandegrift after his retirement. In the course of his career as a Marine historian, the author has talked with other Guadalcanal veterans of all ranks; hopefully, this has resulted in a \"feel\" for the campaign, essential in writing such an overview.\nThe literature on the Guadalcanal operation is extensive. In addition to the books cited above, there are several which are personally recommended to the interested reader: Robert Leckie, Helmet for My Pillow (New York: Random House, 1957); Herbert Merillat, Guadalcanal Remembered (New York: Dodd, Mead, 1982); John Miller, Jr., The United States Army in World War II: The War in the Pacific; Guadalcanal, The First Offensive (Washington: Historical Division, Department of the Army, 1949); T.

Morison, The Struggle for Guadalcanal: History of United States Naval Operations in World War II, Vol V (Boston: Little, Brown, 1950); and a recent, comprehensive account, Richard B. Frank, Guadalcanal (New York: Random House, 1990).\nHenry I. Shaw, Jr., former chief historian of the History and Museums Division, was a Marine Corps historian from 1951-1990. He attended The Citadel, 1943-1944, and was graduated with a bachelor of arts cum laude in history from Hope College, Holland, Michigan. He received a master of arts degree from Columbia University. Mr. Shaw served as a Marine in both World War II and the Korean War. He is the co-author of four of the five volumes of the official history of Marine Corps operations in World War II and was the senior editor of most of the official histories of Marines in Vietnam.

        "title": "Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis - IVF Clinics Worldwide",
        "raw_content": "You are here: Homepage > Treatments > Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis\n\u03a4he last few years, assisted reproductive technology, molecular biology and cytogenetics have progressed considerably, opening up new options in the diagnosis of hereditary and genetic disorders.\nIn this page: Details Techniques used for Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT): PGT-A, PGT-G Restrictions of PGT\nSince 1990 it is possible to genetically test embryos before they are transferred to the uterus! This method is known as Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (P.G.D) and is a reproductive technology that offers couples, at high risk of transmitting a genetic disorder to their future offspring, a valuable diagnostic tool.\nGenetic information, in other words our genes, is encoded as DNA sequences within our chromosomes. Normal cells have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). After fertilization, normal embryos have 23 chromosomes contributed by the spermatozoon and 23 chromosomes contributed by the oocyte. If an embryo has a missing or an extra chromosome it is called aneuploid and it is considered abnormal. Alan Handyside and his colleagues introduced Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis that improved birth rates of healthy babies worldwide.\nPreimplantation Genetic Diagnosis can be used to test for:\n1. any genetic condition where a specific gene is known to cause that condition and\n2. chromosomal abnormalities.\nDiagnosis of monogenic disorders has helped couples where both partners are carriers of the defective gene for a specific genetic disorder (e.g. a or b-thalassemia).\nTesting for chromosomal abnormalities involves either numerical disorders or structural abnormalities. It is known that the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities (e.g. Down syndrome) increases with maternal age.\nHowever, there are also other factors, than maternal age, contributing to structural chromosome abnormalities (chromosomal inversion or translocation).\nIt is common to find in couples that one or both partners are carriers of a chromosomal abnormality (not necessarily the same). This abnormality, not expressed in parents, may cause recurrent miscarriages or repeated IVF failure. Preimplantation Genetic Screening (P.G.S) can diagnose chromosomal abnormalities and protect the couple from the emotional distress or somatic burden caused by recurrent miscarriages or repeated IVF failure. Moreover, time and money are saved.\nThe terms Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and screening (PGS) have been replaced by Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT).\nThese include: PGT for aneuploidies (PGT-A)\nPGT for monogenic/single gene defects (PGT-M)\nPGT for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR).\n*According to The International Glossary on Infertility and Fertility Care, 2017.\nPGT has been used for:\n\u2192 Repeat IVF failure\n\u2192 Recurrent miscarriage\n\u2192 Advanced maternal age\n\u2192 Gender selection\n\u2192 Mutation carriers\n\u2192 HLA matching\n\u2192 Chromosomal abnormalities\n\u2192 Unexplained infertility\n\u2192 Inherited genetic disorders\n\u2192 History of chromosomally abnormal child or pregnancy\nTechniques used for Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT): PGT-A, PGT-G\nThere are two basic techniques used for PGT, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and Polymerase chain reaction (PCR).\nFISH has been used to diagnose numerical chromosome errors (aneuploidy \u2013 missing or extra chromosome) while PCR is mainly used to detect gene mutations.\nIn the last few years, a new molecular cytogenetic technique developed, known as Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (a-CGH). a-CGH or other approaches of CGH have been applied successfully to substitute FISH and simple PCR, as it can identify structural chromosome errors and also diagnose specific gene mutations.\nLately Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is the new technology for comprehensive chromosome testing of IVF embryos. Next Generation Sequencing for PGT is likely going to replace other technologies as the predominant method for testing due to lower cost and reduced errors.\nAccording to experience with PGT, a successful program involves the interaction between doctors, clinical embryologists, pshycologists and geneticists. It is also very important for the couple to receive proper genetic counseling prior to PGT.\nCouples having PGT should go through Assisted Reproductive Technologies, even in the absence of infertility. ART is the only way to produce the embryos to be tested, outside the woman\u2019s body. The early embryo (6 to 8 cells on day 3 of development) is biopsied by microsurgical removal of 1 to 2 cells. Some embryologists wait until the embryo reaches the blastocyst stage (day 5 of development) to undertake this biopsy. At this stage more cells can be removed and analyzed. Once collected, these cells have to be analyzed for detection of a certain medical condition. Their genetic material is the same as of the embryo they originated from. In all these procedures, analysis must be completed soon (1-2 days after biopsy). Embryo selection is based on diagnosis. Only healthy embryos can be successfully transferred, with high safety and success rates.\nThere are many advantages to PGT testing, such as:\nAn alternative to prenatal diagnostic testing. Couples avoid the distress associated with diagnosis, particularly if late in an established pregnancy.\nAn alternative to termination of pregnancy. Couples for whom the option of prenatal testing and termination is not an acceptable choice may not want to take the risk of a child having a genetic condition.\nReduces multiple pregnancy risk by identifying healthy embryos for implantation.\nThe process has an extremely high success rate of identifying genetic diseases and chromosomal issues.\nMany couples are unaware that they are carriers for genetic diseases until they have a child with a birth defect.\nAs a woman ages, she is more likely to have a child with a chromosomal defect due to decreased egg quality, PGT can avoid this. With aging women\u2019s eggs growing old what means that gene mutations and damage the integrity of the genetic material arise more often and as a result, frequency of occurrence of embryos with damaged genotype is increased.\nWomen with recurrent miscarriage. It can be connected with abnormal chromosome complement in man or woman\u2019s gametal cells.\nCouples with autosomal dominant disease or people who has changes of configuration of chromosomes.\nCouples with repeated failure of IVF (in vitro fertilization).\nImproved embryo selection. Only embryos presenting no abnormalities in terms of the number of chromosomes will lead to the birth of a healthy child. Therefore, when working with good embryos, when PGT techniques are applied, we are able to select chromosomally normal embryos and rule out those which would never be capable of leading to the birth of a healthy child even when their appearance would suggest that they are good quality embryos.\nAvoids the transfer of embryos that will not implant. Certain chromosomal abnormalities are incompatible with life and prevent the embryo from developing during its early stages and even from implanting in the mother\u2019s uterus. PGT means that embryos of this kind can be ruled out, thus optimising the number of transfers.\nAvoids the transfer of embryos that will lead to pregnancy loss.\nAvoids the birth of children with a variety of syndromes. Within the range of possible chromosomal abnormalities, some are less harmful to the embryo and allow it to implant. However, they do stop the pregnancy from developing correctly and can lead to pregnancy loss or the birth of a child with a number of possible syndromes such as Down\u2019s syndrome, Patau\u2019s syndrome or Edwards\u2019 syndrome. PGT means that embryos that will be the cause of situations of this kind can be ruled out.\nReduces the time required in order to get pregnant. By using PGT, we are able to avoid transferring embryos that will not lead to the birth of a healthy child since they will have been ruled out using the technique. Since we know which embryos will give rise to a full term pregnancy, \u2018time is not wasted\u2019 transferring embryos that will undergo embryo arrest during development and will not lead to the birth of a healthy child.\nReduces the financial burden. Adding a new analysis to the process could be indicative of an increase in the cost. However, an in-depth knowledge of the characteristics of each embryo means that embryos that would appear to be healthy but which, in fact, are not healthy from a genetics point of view are not frozen and stored. So the cost of transferring frozen embryos that will not lead to a pregnancy is avoided.\nPositive impact on physiological wellbeing. Using PGT means that the uncertainty that patients go through is reduced. On the one hand, they have the guarantee of the health of their embryo and that the very latest technology has been used in order to ensure this. On the other, the risk of pregnancy loss is reduced and this reduces emotional stress, particularly in the case of patients who have already gone through this.\nIncreases in vitro fertilization implantation and delivery rates. Implantation rates were statistically significantly higher (66.4% vs 47.9%). Delivery rates per cycle were also statistically significantly higher (84.7% vs 67.5%).\nFew of the most frequently diseases diagnosed by PGD are:\n2. b-thalassemia\n3. Fanconi Anaemia\n5. Spinal muscular atrophy type 1\n6. Myotonic dystrophy\n8. Fragile X syndrome\n9. Duchenne muscular Dystrophy\n10. X-linked Disease\n11. Single genes disorder\n12. Haemophilia A\nRestrictions of PGT\nCancellation of embryo transfer\n\u25ca The largest risk of PGT is not having embryos available for transfer, if the results of testing show that all of the embryos are chromosomally abnormal. In these circumstances, the cycle is cancelled.\n\u25ca The risk of getting incomplete or no diagnosis on biopsied cells, due to technical or other reasons, also exists. However, the couple will decide on whether to transfer embryos or not, upon detailed genetic counseling.\nDamage during embryo biopsy\nThere is always a minor risk of traumatizing an embryo during the embryo biopsy procedure, irrespective of embryologists\u2019 experience. This is more possible with embryos of poor quality. However, the incidence of embryo damage and subsequent degradation after embryo biopsy is very low (less than 1%).\nAll embryonic cells should contain the same number of chromosomes. It is well documented that some embryos have one or more blastomeres with different chromosomal complement. This phenomenon is called chromosomal mosaicism. This means that the blastomere biopsied for PGT may not represent the rest of the embryo and could result in an adverse outcome. For this reason, couples are strongly advised to undergo prenatal testing (amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling) after PGT in case of achieving a pregnancy.\nPGT-A is being used to improve the chance of a successful pregnancy in couples with recurrent miscarriages. However, miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormalities can still occur even after PGT-A.",

        "raw_content": "Sellers of highly appreciated property can choose from a variety of tax strategies designed to defer or cut capital gains taxes.\nBelow are some options:\nSTRATEGY HOW IT WORKS COMMENT\n1031 Exchange The 1031 Exchange strategy allows a seller to defer capital gains taxes by selling a property and quickly buying another property of equal or greater value. 1031 Exchanges have grown extremely popular but they only work for commercial or investments properties. There are strict rules and deadlines. See details below.\nCharitable Remainder Trust (CRT) In a CRT, a taxpayer put assets into a trust and receive regular payment streams. At the end of the trust's term, what's left goes to a charity for which the taxpayer receive an upfront tax deduction. This safe strategy can reduce capital gains, income and estate taxes. See details below.\nPRIVATE ANNUITY TRUST (PAT) In a private annuity trust, assets are sold to a trust in exchange for annuity payments that last the rest of the taxpayer's life. Whatever's left in the trust when the taxpayer dies goes to the heirs free of estate taxes. A PAT allows a taxpayer to defer capital gains taxes and reduce estate taxes. But the widely promoted tactic is controversial and many critics say some arrangementss might not pass IRS guidelines. As always, professional guidance is recommended.\nStructured Sale In a structured sale, a seller accepts a series of payments for the property, thereby spreading out capital gains taxes over years. The buyer does not make the payments directly to the seller but instead makes the payments to a financial services firm that issues the payment to the seller. Structured sales are a new twist on the traditional installment sales and have only just begun to gain market attraction. In a traditional installment sale, the buyer could default on payments, which is unlikely to happen with a financial services firm.\n1031 EXCHANGE DETAILS\nA 1031 Exchange allows investors to defer the payment of capital gains taxes when selling an investment property and exchanging into another like-kind investment property. Strict legal requirements of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code must be adhered to. There are four basic requirements when entering into a exchange. Investors should seek professional advice to ensure a successful exchange.\nProperty Qualifications Properties involved in a 1031 Exchange must be held for productive use in trade or business or for investment, and they must be \"like-kind\".\nTimeline Investors must complete a 1031 Exchange within 180 days. The timeline begins upon close of escrow (COE) of the relinquished property. The new property (or multiple properties) must be acquired on or before midnight of the 180th day. Additionally, investors are required to identify potential replacement properties by midnight of the 45th day of the exchange.\nIndentification All potential replacement properties must be identified on or before day 45 of the exchange. Identification must be in writing and the description of the properties must be unambiguous. There are two rules for identifying replacement properties:\nThe 3 Property Rule: Allows for identification of any three properties, of any price, anywhere in the U.S.\nThe 200% Rule: This is an optional rule for identifying more than three properties. Four or more properties can be identified. However, the combined value of all properties cannot exceed 200% of the appreciated property.\nTax Deferral To defer 100% of the capital gains taxes, two requirements must be met:\nAll the cash that was generated from the sale of the relinquished property must be reinvested\nThe value of replacement properties must be equal to or greater than the appreciated property\nCHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUSTS (CRT) DETAILS\nA CRT permanently defers, thus eliminating, any capital gains taxes from the sale of an appreciated property.\nA CRT is a valuable income and estate planning tool for selling a highly appreciated property.\nTo create a CRT, investors must complete the following four steps:\n1 Transfer the appreciated property to a CRT.\n2 The CRT sells the appreciated property and reinvests the proceeds.\n3 The CRT pays an annual income to the taxpayer(s) for their lifetime(s).\n4 Upon death of the taxpayer(s), the remaining assets inside the CRT are transferred to a charity or charities.\nBenefits of a CRT\nA CRT provides lifetime income potential, creates a charitable deduction for the taxpayer, eliminates capital gains taxes from the sale of the appreciated property, and eliminates the property from estate tax consideration.\n1 When the appreciated property is transferred to a CRT, an income tax deduction is created. The itemized deduction may help taxpayers pay less federal and state income taxes.\n2 Elimination of all capital gains taxes on the sale of the appreciated property. After the appreciated property is transferred to the CRT, the property is sold without any capital gains taxes. The proceeds of the sale are invested and designed to provide the investor with a lifetime income.\n3 The CRT is required to provide lifetime income to the investor through a Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust (CRAT) or Charitable Remainder Unitrust (CRUT).\n4 At the time of death, the income payments to the investor ceases. The amount remaining in the CRT is transferred tax-free to a charity. The assets are no longer part of the investor's estate and therefore free of estate taxes.\nOther CRT Considerations\nA CRT is an irrevocable trust. Once the property is transferred to a CRT, the taxpayer no longer owns the appreciated property. Upon death, the remaining investments in the trust go to a charity and not to the heirs.",

        "title": "Fourth Row Center: Film Writings by Jason Bailey: In Theaters: \"Zombieland\"",
        "raw_content": "In Theaters: \"Zombieland\"\nYou won't often find a movie as honestly advertised as Zombieland. If you've seen the trailers, you know exactly what you're in for; the picture knows why you're there, and delivers. It's gory, goofy fun, filled to the brim with shotgun blasts and exploding zombie heads and wry laughs and badass posturing, and that's all some folks ask for in a movie. You know who you are.\nThe trouble is that it never really finds its own unique comic voice, but it also can't quite match up to the films it draws from and pays homage to. It quotes liberally (and sometimes ingeniously) from Ghostbusters and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy, as well as the films of Edgar Wright (director Ruben Fleischer is clearly a Wright fan, and this--his studio debut--mixes the cheeky horror humor Shaun of the Dead with the hyperkinetic stylization of Hot Fuzz). The problem is, a film so open with its influences sets the bar pretty high for itself. Zombieland can't quite clear that bar, but it has a helluva lot of fun trying.\nThe picture takes place in a not-too-distant future where a virus has turned the bulk of humanity into fast-moving, flesh-eating zombies of the 28 Days Later variety. Jesse Eisenberg stars and narrates as Columbus (no one is referred to by their proper name, but by their eventual destination), the unlikely hero who has managed to survive by living by a set of stringent rules (\"Always check the back seat,\" \"Don't be a hero,\" etc). The idea of the meek, nebbish anti-hero dropped into a man of action situation is a good one, and Eisenberg is a nice fit for the role. While roaming the land, he joins up with Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), a shotgun-wielding badass; they end up losing their ammo and transportation to Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), a pair of young con artists, but the quartet eventually joins up in the interest of mutual survival.\nThe opening scenes, in which we meet Columbus and Tallahassee, learn Columbus' rules, and take in the world gone mad, have a lunatic genius to them; Fleisher's direction (and the script, by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick) is cranked up to 11, filling the screen with gallons of fake blood, zippy camerawork, and clever on-screen text. You're not sure if they can sustain that energy, and turns out, they can't--though I'm not sure that they'd want to (pounding away in the same style and at the same pace is part of what makes Michael Bay's movies so insufferable). But there's no question that it hits a bit of a lull; the dynamic of the two female characters isn't as well-developed as that of the men, though there are still some funny bits here and there.\nThings perk up with the crew lands in Hollywood and pays a visit to the seemingly abandoned mansion of Tallahassee's favorite movie star (I wouldn't dream of revealing who it is, though the beans have been spilled in some early reviews and on the movie's imdb page). Before you know it, they've already arrived at the climax (the picture is not a moment too long at 82 minutes), a crowd-pleasing zombie battle at an amusement park, full of smart action and good gags (bonus points for the Black Keys cue).\nEisenberg is carving out a nice niche as a comic lead--he's often compared to Michael Cera, and indeed they play some similar roles, but Eisenberg brings a different kind of comic timing to his work (to a degree that Drew McWeeny's comparison to a young Woody Allen is fairly accurate). Harrelson is brash and badass, but with a grin; it's the most entertaining work he's done in years. Breslin (from Little Miss Sunshine) has some nice moments, and Stone (most memorable as the object of Jonah Hill's desire in Superbad) is tough and sexy as hell--her relationship with Eisenberg is sweet and charming.\nZombieland sputters on occasion, and threatens to run out of gas in that middle stretch. But when it works, it really works--it's a knowing, witty, winky movie, cheerfully bloody, subversively smart, and slyly droll. It's a rare movie that gives you what you paid for--and, in places, might even give you a little more.\n\"Zombieland\" is now playing.\nLabels: Jesse Eisenberg, theatrical, woody harrelson, zombieland\nIn Theaters: \"The Invention of Lying\"\nOn DVD: \"Yellowstone\"\nIn Theaters: \"Brief Interviews with Hideous Men\"\nIn Theaters: \"A Serious Man\"\nBookshelf: \"The Marx Brothers as Social Critics\"\nIn Theaters: \"Capitalism: A Love Story\"\nIn Theaters: \"The Most Dangerous Man In America: D...\nOn DVD: \"Sunshine Cleaning\"\nOn DVD: \"The Willie Nelson Special\"",

        "raw_content": "Brexit equality plans \"lack ambition\", Commission tells ministers\nThe UK Government's Brexit plans show \"a lack of ambition for equality and human rights standards\", according to the chair of the Equality & Human Rights Commission, David Isaac.\nOn the Commission's launch of a five point plan on how to strengthen Britain\u2019s status as a world leader on equality and human rights after the country leaves the European Union, Mr Isaac called on the Government to set out its vision for a fairer Britain and demonstrate how it will take the opportunity to create a shared society and heal the divisions exposed during and since the referendum campaign.\nThe five points cover:\nprotecting parliamentary sovereignty over the UK\u2019s equality and human rights legal framework;\nretaining the UK\u2019s equality and human rights legal framework as it leaves the EU;\nensuring the UK is a global leader on equality and human rights;\nprotecting the UK\u2019s equality and human rights infrastructure; and\npromoting the UK as an open and fair place to live and do business.\nSteps to be taken to further the plan include:\nruling out the use of so called \u201cHenry VIII\u201d powers to repeal or amend equality and human rights laws without Parliament\u2019s approval;\nbringing into law every part of the Equality Act 2010 not yet implemented;\nintroducing a constitutional right to equality that every law and government action can be tested against;\nrequiring every UK and devolved government trade deal to contain a human rights and democracy clause to help advance equality and human rights;\nensuring that equality organisations relying on EU funding, such as disabled people\u2019s organisations, can keep running; and\nenshrining all UN human rights treaties, such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child, into UK and devolved government law and producing an action plan explaining how UN recommendations will be implemented.\nMr Isaac commented: \u201cWe\u2019ve had calls for all kinds of Brexit: a soft Brexit; a hard Brexit; and a red, white and blue Brexit. No one is talking about a fair Brexit, one that will unite the country and lead us to a shared society based on fairness and mutual respect the Prime Minister has talked about.\n\u201cAt any crossroads there are important decisions to be made. We can either set out the positive requirements to maintain our traditions of respect for equality and human rights and be a country that really does work for everyone, or we can miss this golden opportunity to demonstrate how post-Brexit Britain can create a fairer and more united Britain.\u201d\nHe continued: \u201cMarkets and trade deals are hugely important, but our vision for the future should not be narrowly economic. Both our economy and society will be stronger in a Britain where everyone is treated fairly and can achieve their potential. There is great deal of anxiety about leaving the European Union and the Government should go further to unite the country by setting out a positive vision for a post-Brexit Britain. That vision must be founded on pride in our shared values of tolerance and mutual respect.\u201d\nClick here to access the plan.",

Gentleman for giving way. I am sure that his thoughts on graffiti will be as profound as his thoughts on everything else, but does he recall the conversation that we had only last week, when he was unfortunate enough to be the only hon. Member to be squeezed out of a debate? Will he bear in mind the remarks made on that occasion as he frames and times the rest of his contribution, given that many Opposition Members would like to contribute to the debate?\n[Geraint Davies: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman, who refers to the debate on the police last Friday, in which many hon. Members wanted to speak. I sat for three-and-a-half or four hours, but remained the only hon. Member not called to speak. The hon. Gentleman said at the time, helpfully, that I should not worry, as I could always give the speech on another occasion. This is that other occasion, and I thank the hon. Gentleman very much for his help.]\nNOTE: By speaking for 22 minutes at a late stage of this debate on London and the South East, Davies squeezed out several other speakers. Julian Lewis was not trying to speak, but was the Opposition Whip on Duty.\n[Mr Denham: The hon. Member for South-East Cambridgeshire did not give way to Members wishing to intervene. I should like to give Members who have been present throughout our debate and made speeches the courtesy of reply, rather than respond to Members who have not been here all evening.]\nDr Lewis: On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Is it in order for a Minister who has discourteously refused to reduce his reply to the time to which the Opposition spokesman [James Paice] reduced his speech to refuse to give way to people whom he has named in his summation?",

He eventually meets Kim and they fall in love. The script follows their time together and struggles after they\u2019re seperated.\nMiss Saigon is nothing less than heart-wrenching. It's a whirlwind of a performance. From start to finish, there\u2019s reason to feel sorry for near enough every character on stage - an indication of just how impressive the writing of this musical (by Boubil and Schonberg) really is.",

        "raw_content": "Diary of an Unborn Baby\nMany young pregnant women decided to keep their babies after reading this fictional diary.\nGoldach (kath.net/Schweizerisch-katholisches Sonntagsblatt) \u201cThe Diary of an Unborn Baby\u201d describes the life of a child from her conception in the womb up until the day that the child realizes she has been killed before ever being born. The author seems to be unknown.\nOctober 5: Today my life began. My parents don\u2019t know it yet, but I am here. I\u2019m a girl; I\u2019ll have blond hair and blue eyes. All my genetic imprints are present, also that I will have a weakness for flowers.\nOctober 19: Some say I am not even a real person yet, and only my mother exists. But I am a real person, just like a crumb of bread is bread. My mother exists, and I do, too.\nOctober 23: Now my mouth opens. In about a year I will be able to laugh and speak. I know what my first word will be: Mommy.\nOctober 25: Today my heart began to beat. From now on it will beat for the rest of my life without ever stopping to take a break. Only after many years will it stop beating and I will die.\nNovember 2: Every day I grow more. My arms and legs are forming, but it will be a long time until I can stand on those tiny legs and run into the arms of my mother, until I can pick flowers with those tiny arms and hug my father.\nNovember 12: Tiny fingers are starting to grow on my hands. How small they still are! One day I will be able to stroke my mother\u2019s hair.\nNovember 20: Just today the doctor told my mother that I live beneath her heart. Oh, how happy she must be. Are you happy, Mommy?\nNovember 25: Mommy and Daddy are probably trying to come up with a name for me. But they don\u2019t know that I am a little girl. I would love to be called Susie. My, I have already grown so much!\nDecember 10: My hair is starting to grow. It is soft and with a beautiful shine. Wonder what kind of hair Mommy has.\nDecember 13: Soon I will be able to see. It is dark around me. When Mommy gives birth to me I will see sunshine and flowers. But the best will be to see my Mommy. I wonder what you look like.\nDecember 24: I wonder if Mommy hears the whispers of my heart. Some children are born ill. But my heart is strong and healthy. It beats evenly: bum-bum, bum-bum. Mommy, you will have a healthy little daughter!\nDecember 28: Today my mother killed me. She just killed me.\nI am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus\u2019 lap. He loves me and is close to me. I would have loved to be your little girl and don\u2019t quite understand what has happened. I was so excited to find out that I came to be. I was in a dark but cozy place. I realized that I had fingers and toes. I was quite developed, although not quite ready to leave that cozy place. Mostly I just thought and slept. From the very beginning I felt so connected with you.... Sometimes I heard you cry and I cried with you. Sometimes you yelled really loud and then you cried. And I heard how Daddy yelled back at you. I was so sad and hoped that you would feel better soon. I have always wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried all day long. My soul was hurting so much. I could not imagine that it was I who made you so unhappy.\nIt was this very day that something terrible happened. A mean monster came into this warm cozy place that I lived in. I was petrified and began to scream, but no sound came over my lips. The monster came closer and closer and I kept screaming, \u201cMommy, Mommy, help me, please help me!\u201d All I felt was horrendous fear. I screamed and screamed till I could no longer scream. Then the monster ripped my arm off. It hurt so much, what excruciating pain. And it would not stop. Oh, I begged and begged for it to stop. I screamed with horrific pain when that monster ripped out my leg. Despite inexplicable pain I knew I was dying. I knew that I would never see your face or hear from you how much you loved me. I wanted to stop all your tears, and had so many plans to make you happy - now I couldn\u2019t do this anymore; my dreams were shattered. Although I felt inconceivable pain and terrible fear, I felt mainly my heart breaking. More than anything I wanted to be your daughter.\nBut it was all in vain because I died a horrific death!\nI could only guess what they did to you. Before I went I wanted to tell you how much I loved you, but I didn\u2019t know the words you could understand. And soon afterwards I did not have the breath to say them. I was dead!\nI felt how I rose. I was carried by a giant angel to a large, glorious place. I still cried, but the physical pain was gone. An angel brought me to Jesus and sat me on His lap. Jesus said to me that He loved me and that God is my Father. I was happy. I asked Him what this thing was that killed me. He answered, \u201cIt was the abortionist.\u201d Then He said, \u201cI am so sorry, my child, I know what that feels like.\u201d\nI am writing to tell you that I love you, and how much I would have loved to be your little girl. I have done all in my power to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn\u2019t. The monster was too strong. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know that I tried to stay with you. I did not want to die! So, Mommy, please stay away from this monster called abortion. Mommy, I love you and I don\u2019t want you to go through the hell I went through.\nPlease take care of yourself!\nFr.

        "title": "Trump Took Fight For Border Wall To El Paso \u2014 Where O'Rourke Was Ready For Him | KCLU",
        "raw_content": "By Jessica Taylor \u2022 5 hours ago\nPresident Trump speaks during a rally Monday in El Paso, Texas.\nPresident Trump took his fight over a border wall to the U.S.-Mexico border on Monday night, promising a crowd in El Paso, Texas, that he would press forward for its construction regardless even as news was breaking in Washington that a deal reached between congressional negotiators would fall far short of his funding demands.\nAnd in a near-showdown that seemed to mirror the ongoing political dispute over the border, Trump was greeted by a counter-rally led by former Texas Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke. The former Texas lawmaker failed last year in his effort to unseat GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, but could parlay his newfound celebrity with Democratic voters into a 2020 bid to unseat the president \u2014 a White House bid that could especially challenge Trump over immigration policy, border security and the propriety of building a Southern border wall.\nBut the bigger threat to the message about the need to secure the border that Trump was trying to deliver was coming from many miles away. As another partial government shutdown loomed, bipartisan negotiations on Capitol Hill emerged with a deal Monday night for $1.375 billion for \"physical barriers\" at the border (the same level that was agreed to in last year's Department of Homeland Security funding bill). This will fund about 55 miles of fencing.\nOn stage, Trump claimed he didn't know the details and \"didn't want to hear about it,\" sticking to his robust talking points on the border wall anyway.\nPresident Trump speaks during a rally Tuesday in El Paso, Texas.\nThe Trump administration has frequently exaggerated about how many new barriers along the border are being built compared to those being repaired. And the selection of a rally in El Paso was no accident either \u2014 Trump has often highlighted the border city as evidence that walls work, noting the low crime in the U.S. border town compared to its Mexican counterpart. However, statistics have shown that violent crime had already dropped well before the border wall was erected in El Paso.\nTrump dismissed those facts though, calling them \"fake news\" and saying people are \"full of crap if they say it hasn't made a difference.\"\nThe president also claimed that the 35-day partial government shutdown over the wall \u2014 the longest shutdown ever in U.S. history \u2014 \"was a very important thing we did\" because it turned attention to the border crisis, even if it did cause a \"blip\" in a rise in unemployment. Multiple polls also showed most Americans blamed Trump and Republicans for the shutdown, and his approval ratings also dropped.\nIf Trump doesn't accept the deal lawmakers will present to him this week, another shutdown could begin at just after midnight Saturday \u2014 though Trump has also threatened to build the wall via the declaration of a national emergency if necessary.\nThe whole rally largely stuck to Trump's usual talking points \u2014 ticking off economic successes, trade deals, boasting about his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and rehashing much of what he had said last week in his State of the Union address.\nFormer Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke speaks to a crowd inside a ball park across the street from where President Trump was holding a rally inside the El Paso County Coliseum in El Paso, Texas, Monday.\nRudy Gutierrez / AP\nBut Trump seemed especially attuned to and plenty sensitive about the split-screen image of the rally O'Rourke, El Paso's former congressman, was holding outside in the heavily Democratic city. Exaggerating, as he's prone to do, about his crowd size, Trump claimed that O'Rourke had only drawn 200 or 300 to his protest while they had 35,000 people trying to get into his.\n\"That may be the end of his presidential bid,\" Trump said, mocking O'Rourke as \"a young man who's got very little going for himself except a great first name.\"\n\"He's supposed to win in order to run,\" the president jabbed. \"Beto was defeated,\" Trump said referring to the race against Cruz, as the president boasted of his own undefeated record in his first bid for elective office.\nAccording to NBC News, O'Rourke's team said there were about 7,000 people at his rally and mile-long march beforehand, per law enforcement. And Bloomberg News reported that O'Rourke's rally had been estimated at 10,000 to 15,000, according to local police. At various points during his own rally, Trump claimed that 69,000 people had RSVP'd and that fire marshals allowed 10,000 people in with \"tens of thousands\" still watching outside. But NBC News reported that Trump's rally was at its 6,500 capacity with 10,000 to 12,000 watching outside or in overflow areas, per the local police and fire departments.\n#marchfortruth passes the El Paso County Coliseum, where @realDonaldTrump is holding his rally pic.twitter.com/NNd08z9Qwm\n\u2014 Mallory Falk (@malloryfalk) February 12, 2019\nO'Rourke directly took on Trump over border security and Trump's desire for a wall or other physical barrier. The former Democratic congressman said El Paso was a peaceful and safe city \"because we treat one another with dignity and respect.\"\n\"We know that walls do not save lives; walls end lives,\" O'Rourke also told those gathered at his rally.\nHe also criticized the Trump administration's treatment of immigrants, from separating children from adults at the border to housing migrants in detention centers, and just a general vilification of the contributions of immigrants.\n\"We are making a stand for truth against lies and hate and ignorance and intolerance,\" the potential 2020 Democratic candidate said. \"We are going to show the country who we are. We're going to make a stand to ensure that we live up to our promise, to our potential, to our purpose as a country.\"\n\"We will not take advantage of them,\" O'Rourke added about immigrants. \"We will not send them back to certain death. We will not believe that walls can or should keep them out. Instead, we welcome them with open arms.\"\nPeople attend an outdoor rally for former Rep. Beto O'Rourke outside the El Paso County Coliseum where President Trump was holding his own rally in El Paso, Texas, Monday.\nTrump, meanwhile, at his rally painted a much darker image about the possible influx of new immigrants across the border, who he has characterized as bringing drugs and crime. Instead, the president argued that people should be allowed into the country based on merit.\n\"The Democrat Party has never been more outside the mainstream. They're becoming the party of socialism, late-term abortion, open borders and crime,\" Trump said. He criticized Democrats for wanting to put a cap on the bed capacity at detention facilities, saying that would be \"cutting loose dangerous criminals into our country.\"\n\"I will never sign a bill that forces the mass release of criminals into this country,\" Trump said.",

        "raw_content": "Largest EV Fast-Charging Network in US Rolls Out\nThe largest EV fast-charging network in the US rolled out in Illinois at the end of last week. Governor Pat Quinn and representatives from the Illinois Tollway, 350Green LLC and 7-Eleven, Inc. made the announcement last Friday, noting in a news release that drivers can now \"charge an electric vehicle in under 30 minutes using the current fast-chargers at 7-Eleven sites at four Tollway Oasis locations, and will soon be able to charge vehicles at all seven Tollway Oases.\"\n\"We want Illinois to be the greenest state in America,\" Governor Quinn said. \"By installing the largest network of cutting edge fast-chargers, Illinois will continue to support green jobs and provide people with environmentally-friendly and affordable travel options.\"\nIllinois has a ways to go to catch up to green leaders like California, Oregon, and Washington, but it's nice to see that it has such enthusiasm for this topic and is aiming so high, and the roll out of this EV fast-charging network certainly doesn't hurt!\nHere are some more details on the network:\nThrough the Chicago-Area EV Infrastructure Project, 26 fast-chargers have been installed, with 73 total fast-chargers planned. Eight of these are currently in place at Tollway Oases along the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90) at the Des Plaines Oasis and on the Tri-State Tollway (I-94/I-294/I-80) at the Lake Forest Oasis, O'Hare Oasis and Chicago Southland Lincoln Oasis. The installations, managed by 350Green, were performed by Chicago-based JNS Power & Control Systems.\nEV infrastructure is rolling out across the nation quite fast these days --- the West Coast Electric Highway is well under way, Europe's largest EV fast-charging network got the green light in January, Spain just got 100 EV charging stations in March, and I see news about new EV charging stations* going up across the US nearly every day. It might take stepping back a bit, but if you pay attention, you can see that we are in the midst of a transportation technology revolution.",

        "raw_content": "Turkey rhubarb, Chinese rhubarb, Indian rhubarb, Russian rhubarb or rhubarb root - Rheum palmatum L. (medicinal plant)\nKnotweed family (Polygonaceae)\nRhubarb is native to the mountains of Tibet's northeastern and northwestern China, Chinese rhubarb comes from southeast Tibet, southwest China and Burma. It came to Europe with the Arabs via India in the 12th century. We now grow it as an ornamental plant and medicinal herb. In its journey to the west, it bears the Persian name \"r\u00eawend\" (= rhubarb species), which became \"rh\u00eaon\" in Greek and rheum\" in Latin. \"Rh\u00e2\" is the ancient name of Volga. It is believed that it was either farmed there or exported from Volga. So from the medieval Latin \"ra-\" connected with the Lat. \"barbarus\" (= foreign, strange) it became \"rhubarb\". The epithet palmatum refers to the palm-shaped leaves of the plant, officinalis suggests that this is an old medicinal plant, because the \"officina\" is the sale room of a pharmacy and officinalis means: used in the pharmacies. The medicinal rhubarb is the garden rhubarb, whose stems are cooked in the form of a compote like to eat, quite similar. Its large leaves are palmately lobed, the upper surface is rough, the petioles are almost round. The leafy scapes rise up 1.50m high with far out over the foliage and bear numerous small pink flowers arranged in flower-rich panicles. Chinese rhubarb has rounded to kidney-shaped leaves, the flowers are greenish. Flowering time is May to June.\nThe dried underground parts are used. The drug consists of a fleshy root and is often divided and sold freed from the outer cortex, including lateral roots traded. The commercial drug comes from China and India.\nRhubarb root contains anthranoids (hydroxyanthracene derivatives, \"anthraquinones\"), mainly glycosides of the Rhine, Rheum emodi, Aloe emodin and chrysophanol, also tannins.\nThe quality of the rhubarb roots (Rhei radix) is specified in the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur), the quality of the standardised dried extract rhubarb (Rhei extractum siccum normatum) is specified in the German Pharmacopoeia (DAB).\nWith constipation (Commission E), for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation (ESCOP). The HMPC has accepted the internal administration of rhubarb root for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation as \"well-established medicinal use\". Alcoholic extracts are used externally in the form of brushing for inflammation of the gums and oral mucosa (approval).\nfor external use on anthranoids (Rhine) standardised dried rhubarb root extract dissolved in liquid dosage forms (brush the gums)\nTea infusion: 20 to 30mg of anthranoids per day is sufficient for the laxative effect. This is a tea infusion made from 1 to 2g of coarsely powdered rhubarb root. The tea is meant to be taken in the evening before bedtime. It is useful in combination with other drugs such as senna (for a laxative effect) or cumin (flatulence).\nPour 150ml of boiling water over 1 to 2g coarsely powdered rhubarb root and then strain after 5 minutes.\nRhubarb root may not be taken longer than 1 to 2 weeks (gut-irritating laxative), long-term use increases constipation. Rhubarb root should not be taken for intestinal obstruction, appendicitis, inflammatory bowel disorders (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), abdominal pain of unknown origin and severe dehydration symptoms. A slight discolouration of the urine may occur during the ingestion of rhubarb root. Although at present there are no reports of undesirable or harmful effects with rhubarb root in pregnant women and the foetus, it is advised to avoid the ingestion of rhubarb root during pregnancy because of the potential genotoxic properties of various anthranoids. The transfer of anthranoids into the breast milk cannot be excluded, so that even a dose of rhubarb root during breast-feeding is not recommended. Similarly, children under 12 years old should not take rhubarb root.\nRarely gastrointestinal cramp complaints (reduce dosage!). A prolonged ingestion of rhubarb root (laxative abuse) can lead to problems with the water and electrolyte balance, especially potassium loss. Protein and blood may appear in the urine (proteinuria, hematuria). Chronic use leads to (reversible) pigment deposition in the intestinal mucosa.\nChronic use of rhubarb root (laxative abuse) can increase the impact of digitalis drugs (drugs with cardiac glycosides) by the potassium deficiency, the effect of antiarrhythmic drugs may also be affected. By simultaneous use of thiazide diuretics, adrenal corticosteroids and liquorice root further enhance the loss of potassium.\nKommentar zum Europ\u00e4ischen Arzneibuch (Rhubarb root, no. 291); Kommentar zum Deutschen Arzneibuch (Rhubarb dried extract).",

        "raw_content": "That you have to focus the microscope to clearly see the section on the slide is kind of obvious. When you focus on the section, you move the section into the focal plane of the lens you are using. What may be less obvious is that the focal plane is not a plane but rather a box. The thickness (or height) of the box depends on the microscope lens you are using. The thickness of the box decreases at increasing magnifications.\nAt low magnifications (x4 and x10) the thickness of the focal plane will typically be large enough to contain the entire section, i.e. you will be able to see all features of the section clearly. However,\nwhen you use the x40 lens the focal plane is too shallow to contain the entire section, and you will only see part of the features of the section in focus.\nIf you are looking for specific cells it is sometimes worthwhile to browse the thickness of the section, i.e. to slightly focus up and down, instead of browsing the plane of the section, i.e. to move the stage.\nSlide - Features Stain Magnification\ntestis, convoluted seminiferous tubule H&E x40\ncompact bone, Haversian system / osteon ground (unstained) x40\nforebrain, mouse, cortex Giemsa x40\nforebrain, rat, cortex Golgi x20\nx100 - to oil or not to oil ...\n... a little more about x100 lenses The x100 lens is the lens with the largest magnification that you will find on light microscopes. That it has the largest magnification also means that it has the narrowest focal plane.\ntestis, convoluted seminiferous tubule, acrosomes PAS & iron haematoxylin x100\nred bone marrow, rabbit, megakaryocyte H&E x100\nspleen, reticular connective tissue reticulin x100\nparathyroid gland, chief cells and oxyphilic cells H&E x100\nMost x100 lenses require oil immersion, i.e. the space between the lens and the coverslip of the section is spanned by a drop of oil instead of air. Why that? Well, the refractive indices of air and glass are very different which will result in the scattering of light at the interface between the coverslip and the air and, again, at the interface between the air and the lens. The scattered light will obscure the finest detail visible in the section. The refractive index of the immersion oil is similar to that of glass, and light scattering will be minimal. If the oil is omitted x100 lenses resolve less detail than x40 lenses. The use a x100 oil lens requires all of the following:\na well adjusted microscope -\nIf the lightpath of the microscope is not close to perfectly adjusted, chances are that the x100 less will not resolve more detail than the x40 lens.\npatience and careful work -\nOnce the oil is on the slide it becomes difficult to go back to lower magnifications. Just a quick view with the x40 lens? Don't get tempted - it will inevitably end up in the oil. If you are searching for a particular feature you will have to scan at x100 which requires considerably more patience than at the lower magnifications. Also, the narrow focal plane means you will have to scan through the depth of the section in addition to scanning along the x and y axis.\nThe x100 lens and the section need cleaning after use. If the lens is not cleaned, the next user may get oil on their sections. If the section is not thoroughly cleaned, the thin film of oil that is left will result in \"hazy\" views at low magnifications for subsequent users of the section.\nUnfortunately, these conditions are rarely met in a teaching situation. Fortunately, there are only a few instances in which a x100 lens is really necessary to identify features of cells or tissues. The x40 lens will do the trick most of the time. The real power of the x100 lens is its very thin focal plane, which can provide a good idea of the 3-dimensional distribution of cells and tissue components in sections down to ~4 \u00b5m in thickness.",

        "title": "Nuwara Eliya - Lanka Excursions Holidays - Kandy",
        "raw_content": "Nuwara Eliya - Sri Lanka's \"Little England\"\nNuwara Eliya at an altitude of 1,868 m above sea level is Sri Lanka\u2019s highest city, close to the island's highest peak. This area had not been populated before the British colonial period. The British high society fell in love with Nuwara Eliya due to its cool climate. Like in India and Myanmar, they preferred such high elevations for their holidays, as an escape during the hottest period at the end of the dry season. Nuwara Eliya has remained to be an annual meeting point of the upper class also after Ceylon\u2019s independence.\nNuwara Eliya tea plantations\nNuwara Eliya, often pronounced as a single word \u201cNureliya\u201d by locals, means \u201cCity of Light\u201d or \u201cCity of the Clearing\u201d. Nuwara Eliya is also the name one of the three vastest tea-growing regions in Sri Lanka. But you should be aware: Though pocket guide books like to call it the largest tea region, it is definitely not. The main tea region of Sri Lanka is called Dimbula and stretches from Nanu Oya (10 km west of Nuwara Eliya) to Adam\u2019s Peak. Hatton in the very centre of this tea region can be called Sri Lanka\u2019s true tea capital. Secondly, the rule for tea quality is not: the higher the better. The best altititude is about 1500 m. This is why the tea growing area of Nuwara Eliya is situated further below, just at the other side of the 2100m high pass called \u201cTop pass\u201d that is crossed by the road from Kandy and marks the entrance of Nuwara Eliya (close to Toppass Breeze Hotel). Most tourists cross The Top Pass when arriving from Kandy. This means, they have seen the entire tea region known as Nuwara Eliya before reaching the town of Nuwara Eliya. The Nuwara Eliya tea region stretches 20 km between Pusselawa and Top Pass, as the crow flies, Ramboda being at the very center of it. Three tea factories can be visited near Ramboda, namely Glenloch, Blue Field and Labookellie, the latter being Sri Lanka\u2019s largest tea plantation at all.\nSamuel Baker and the history of Nuwara Eliya in colonial Ceylon\nThough tea is also grown in the immediate surrounding of Nuwara Eliya, the valley is a much more conenient place for growing vegetables. Ironically, Nuwara Eliya known as a tea region all over the world is in fact the best potato region of Sri Lanka. Potato and vegetable farming in the first place was the reason why a settlement came to existence in this remote and then not easily accessible highland region. In Nuwara Eliya valley, the British could grow just those kinds of food crop they were used to eat in England and liked to eat in their tropical new homes in Colombo, too.\nThe actual founder of the city was no less than Samuel Baker, the later explorer of the springs of River Nile and discoverer of Lake Albert in Africa. Baker developped the agrarian sector of Nuwara Eliya in the mid 19th century, although the history of the hill station had begun even earlier. British Ceylon\u2019s Governor Edwar Barnes (1824-31) liked to use the cool climate of the valley for hospitalizing convalescents, because this was much cheaper than sending sick public servants back to Britain. In 1828, a first access road and some bungalows were constructed. Barnes chose one place as his personal holiday accomodation. It was the place of the later Grand Hotel. The other bungalows became hotels in much later times, too, namely Andrews, Keena and Carlton. Barnes\u2019 successor, Robert John Wilmot-Horton, published several articles about Nuwara Eliya in the \"Colombo Journal\". So Nuwara Eliya was already known for its climate, when this attracted Samuel Baker, who came to Ceylon not as an explorer of the unknown but as a business man. His plan was to develop Nuwara Eliya to a small England within Ceylon to supply crops and beef to Colombo. For his venture \u201cBaker\u2019s Farm\u201d, he had to invested an enourmous amount of money, in spite of the low price of the land in the remote vally. But he had to transport of cattle from England and to hire agricultural specialists. The trek through the highlands turned out to be the most difficult part. Tragically, an oxcart fell down a cliff near Ramboda and many helpers came to death, Baker\u2019s brothers John and Valentine were among the victims. Samuel Baker burried them right at the spot. Despite of all the hardships, Samual Baker\u2019s Ceylon development project succeeded and today\u2019s Nuwara Eliya can be seen as the result of it.\nNuwara Eliya - flair of the former British hillstation\npost office in Nuwara Elia from the British colonial period\nVictorian Bungalow of Ceybank Rest in Nuwara Eliya\n18 Hole Golf Course right in the centre of Nuwara Eliya\nrenowned Grand Hotel near the Nuwara Eliya Golf Course\nMany of the buildings retain features from the colonial period such as the Queen's Cottage, General's House, Grand Hotel, Hill Club, St Andrew's Hotel and Town Post Office. New hotels are often built and furnished in the colonial style. Visitors the city can wallow in its nostalgia of bygone days by visiting the landmark buildings. Many private homes maintain their old English-style lawns and gardens.\nThe modern centre of Nuwara Eliya is \u2013 it has to be admitted \u2013 impersonal and faceless as most other towns in Sri Lanka. However, the adjacent area of the 18 hole golf course has retained its British flair. Due to Victorian hotels and Tudor-style bungalows surrounded by well-kept greens, Nuwara Eliya likes to be referred to as \u201cLittle England\u201d in tourist broschures. The golf course is an attraction in itself, it\u2019s considered one of the best in Asia.\nBesides a golf course, a classical British hill station needs a municipal park, a lake and horse race stadium. So Nuwara Eliya has all of this, although the latter is in an disrepair and car races have become more popular than horse races during Nuwara Eliya high season (or high society season) in April.\nNuwara Eliya is situated in the valley below Sri Lanka\u2019s highest mountain. Pidurutalagala, known as \u201cMount Pedro\u201d during the colonial period, reaches a height of 2.534 m. Nevertheless, it\u2019s not a spectacular view from Nuwara Eliya, because it surmounts the settlement area by less than 600 m. Climbing the summit is not permitted any more, because it is used by the army.\nThe peak at the opposite side of Nuwara Eliya is \u201cSingle Tree Mountain\u201d. A field road leads to the top. Single Tree Mountain is definitely the best vantage point close to Nuwara Eliya. Reaching the top is easy and will not take more than one hour uphill.\nNuwara Eliya makes a fine base for relaxation and day trips to the surrounding countryside of scenic tea plantations. Horton Plains excursions usually start in Nuwara Eliya. Although the central highland region of Sri Lanka is foggy and rainy throughot the year, there can be days with perfectly blue sky in every season.\nLake Gregory near Nuwara Elya\nNuwara Eliya is a Ceylon-tea region",

If you are computer or media friendly, a recording, either audio or video, of the material covered in the lesson will be waiting for them by the time they get home.\nYour guitar training will be focused on songs from the first lesson. This means you are learning to play songs on your guitar while learning and developing the skills necessary for you to be able to play anything you desire. This is the best approach for learning to play the guitar. As you improve on the guitar, you will be developing a timing and feel for music.\nWe all learn differently and we all have different dreams.\nAfter discussing aims, goals and desires with each guitar student, we determine whether to include music theory, and at what level.\nMost students already have some level of understanding. Working together we find out what you know and build on it in a way that makes sense. Our guitar lessons will help you put together all those loose ideas that you've gathered.\nComposition for songwriters and composers\nYou can also get lessons in composition for songwriters and composers for the guitar and voice. This could focus more on the lyrical or the musical side, or a combination of both, depending on the desires of the student.\nMost lessons are 1 hour, private, one-to-one sessions per week.\n1/2 hour and 45 minute lessons are also available.\nOften I teach small groups of 2-3 students at a time, focusing on learning to play together. Read about group classes\nSome guitar students are very busy and come less often, once a month, or whenever they are ready for that next step.

Her interest in depression piqued after reading this article in the Wall Street Journal, Grim Reminder On Mental Illness; Detroit Executive\u2019s Bouts With Depression.\nThe article talks about the suicide of a successful, well-connected businessman. Sheila wanted answers as to why this tragedy could not have been prevented, and sought knowledge about the pervasiveness of depression.\nShe quickly learned that depression touches all individuals in all aspects of society. Thus, LEAD evolved as a response to Sheila\u2019s exploration of depression: prevention, causes, and treatments. Her search for answers and the work of the LEAD Pittsburgh team amply illustrate how progress toward the goal of eliminating the stigma attached to depression and removing barriers to quality treatment requires communitywide involvement and fundamental systemic changes.\nIn 2009, LEAD identified a report, \u201cPreventing Mental Emotional and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People\u201d complied by the Research Council of the Institute of Medicine. The report recommended that programs which focused on teaching resiliency skills to the 18 \u2013 25 year old age group could be protective against the development of anxiety and depression.\nSCoRE\u00ae (Student Curriculum on Resilience Education) was created through a partnership with 3C Institute and the initial phase was released in May, 2011 in Pittsburgh, PA.",

        "title": "Thoughts of the Week by Jeffrey Weiner | In the Name of Fairness",
        "raw_content": "The U.S. Supreme Court is once again in a position to make history. This week, the Justices took up the issue of whether the definition of marriage should extend to same-sex married couples. The essential question being considered by the Court is: should gay marriage be a right that is recognized by the federal government?\nI, for one, think it's about time for the debate on this to come to an end. It's 2013. I am hoping the Supreme Court realizes that people should be able to legally marry the person of their choice, gay or straight, with all the rights, obligations and benefits that are attached. In nine states and the District of Columbia, this is already the case. The federal definition of marriage should be expanded to include all marriages in those states and in others that may permit same-sex marriage in the future. To continue the present double standard flies in the face of fairness and equitable treatment under the law.\nThere was a time in this country when slavery was common practice; U.S. Presidents owned slaves right up until Ulysses S. Grant. Women couldn't vote and were not considered to be peers of men. Black people couldn't attend the same schools, eat in the same restaurants or ride in the same bus seats as white people. And women didn't have the right to choose. The Court took care of the latter with the landmark Roe v. Wade decision of 1973. Forty years hence, the Justices now need to do the same for gay marriage and vacate the misguided law that subverts this basic human right.\nIt turns out that even President Bill Clinton, who in 1996 signed into law the bill defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman, has disavowed the Defense of Marriage Act entirely, urging that the law be overturned by the Supreme Court. Hurray for you, Mr. President! It is refreshing to see that people, including the man who signed the bill into law, are capable of realizing that what may have seemed like a good idea at the time, no longer works, and of taking steps to correct it.\nMarcum started an LGBT practice last year, led by our partner Nanette Lee Miller. This practice has been an extraordinary success due to the legal complexities and financial issues facing LGBT couples, which are not shared by married heterosexuals. It's mind-boggling that non-traditional families do not share the same income tax treatment, estate tax benefits, medical benefits and other favored status that many of us take for granted.\nI have close friends and business associates who today can't enjoy the same benefits and rights that I do. They deserve \u2013 and are entitled to \u2013 better.\nRedefining marriage to include same-sex families is the right thing to do to secure the principle of equal protection and ensure the continued evolution of civil liberty in our society.\nWe may have gotten a hint of what's to come from the Court during oral arguments on California's Proposition 8, which reinstated a ban on same-sex marriage in that state. In response to the argument that one of the main tenets of the institution of marriage is procreation, the Justices asked if 55-year-olds should therefore not be allowed to marry. Let's hope their deliberations on DOMA are equally guided by common sense.",

Finally, her luck had come. Now she could relax and give up her job, as a cleaner. She decided to celebrate and go out somewhere fun. Her favourite night-club that she could never afford to go to would be the ideal place. After all, it was Saturday and soon she'd be rich. She knew she was entitled to have some happiness once in her life. The place, where all girls her age, would crave to go to would be the Oasis night-club. The DJ of her dreams would be there tonight. She had fancied him for ages, but knew he wouldn't be interested in someone like herself. He was usually seen with the best and well known prettiest girls around, who wore expensive designer dresses. Cindy knew she'd never be someone like that. Of course, now that she'd won the money, she could live up to his expectations. She stared ahead at a dress on a model further along the shop. She moved closer towards it. It was expensive, but it was worth every penny. It was bright red satin with sleeves that hung loosely off the shoulder, which gave a daring appeal to it too. ...read more.\nThe thunderous tunes of pop music and the sound of the DJ's voice above it rippled through her veins, as she stepped inside. She slowly moved in and noticed him standing on the stage ahead. He was more handsome in person than in his pictures. He was famous for his work and now, at last, he was here in her favourite night-club that she could never afford to go to except on this one night. After knocking a few diet cokes down her, Cindy headed for the dance floor. The music was blaring, as she danced her way through the crowd and bumped into the one guy she didn't think she'd meet. \"Ah...oh....\"she screeched crouching down to console her foot. \"I'm so sorry. Are you okay? It's all my fault. I wasn't looking where I was going.\" She wasn't worried about her foot, but only the man in front of her. She gradually looked up and saw the DJ standing beside her. Her heart began to beat erratically and everything else around her was like a quiet murmur in the distance. She realized he was touching her arm and guiding her away from the crowded dance floor towards a nearby seating area. Once there, he helped her to sit down. \"Are you feeling okay? Do you want me to get you a drink?\" ...read more.\nShe could pay for them. It was Mark she would miss. She'd never see him again, but she knew she would remember this night forever. At home, she checked her numbers again and realized she'd only gotten four numbers out of six, but she was still glad for the extra money. Eighty pounds wasn't bad for a lottery win. She knew it was a shame that it couldn't have been a million, but she'd had a great night. \"Oh well, at least I met Mark and had a brilliant night with him.\" She told herself. The next morning, she headed to work early and put the dress back in it's place. She was prepared to pay for the sandals, since she'd lost one of them. It would be a souvenir of her one night of glamour. \"Hello again,\" said a well known voice behind her that made her shiver with excitement. \"You!\" she gasped as she turned around. \"How did you find me?\" \"I got the telephone number from the back of the limousine you were in. The driver was very helpful. I told him I needed to return this sandal to it's rightful owner.\" \"I see.\" \"If it fits the girl I'm looking for, then I hope she's prepared to go out with me tonight,\" Mark stated. She slipped her foot easily into the red sparkling sandal, as he took her hand and led her away with him.

For example, The Ugly Duckling when the duckling is repeatedly insulted in some way by animals or people he comes across at the start.\nHowever, Magwitch's fearfulness is inflated because he is seen through Pip's eyes. The reader sees all of this through the eyes of a child, so the description of Magwitch is exaggerated since Pip had a limited knowledge of the world in general.\nThe Late Clients\nOh well, only one way to find out.

He is lonely and secluded from everyone, trying to find support and refuge amongst the dead; some of them being his parents and his brothers.\nIn 1796, Charles Perrault published his Little Red Riding Hood. Perrault's context was very different to that of the peasant storytellers who preceded him. Perrault's society was the court of Louis XIV, a court that 'was famed for its wealth, its intrigue, and its sexual excesses...'\nThis was the typical outline of Victorian fiction- with the central character growing throughout the novel. 'Great Expectations' was first serialised in the journal 'All the Year Round' in 1861. Because it was published in individual chapters, Dickens had to ensure that each instalment was thrilling and exciting so that the reader would buy the next part.",

        "raw_content": "Marriage Alliance Submission to Senate Inquiry Into Same-Sex Marriage\nMarriage Alliance provided a submission to the Senate inquiry into the impact that same-sex marriage would have on freedoms and beliefs. In it, we articulate the real and serious threats to religious freedom for all Australians, and not just ministers of religion, that will take place in the event of the introduction of same-sex marriage.\nBottom line: it is clear that the Exposure Draft does not achieve its goal of preventing encroachment upon religious freedoms. We are taking a stand and we know that you are, too. Below is an excerpt from the Marriage Alliance Submission to the Senate Select Committee on the Exposure Draft of the Marriage Amendment on Same-Sex Marriage.\nThreats to religious freedom in relation to education\nArticle 18(4) of the ICCPR includes the freedom of parents \u201cto ensure the religious and moral education of their children in conformity with their own convictions.\u201d This freedom is threatened by the redefinition of marriage.\nThe Safe Schools program will shortly become compulsory in Victorian state schools, and is used in many schools around the country. Parents are not required to consent, or even to be notified, that their child\u2019s school has adopted the program. The Departments of Education in New South Wales and Queensland refuse to publish lists of participating schools. This is clearly in conflict with a parent\u2019s right to ensure the religious and moral education of their children in conformity with their own convictions, provided for by the ICCPR.\nThe Safe Schools program teaches, among other things, that sexual activity between people of the same sex is normal, which is contrary to the teachings of major faiths including Christianity, Judaism and Islam.\nIn countries where same-sex marriage has been legalised, education departments have made programs similar to Safe Schools compulsory, because once a law was enacted that deemed homosexual marriage to be \u201cequal\u201d to heterosexual marriage, sex education was changed to also make \u201cequal\u201d all forms of sexual activity.\nThe Exposure Draft does not provide any protection for the rights of parents over the education of their children in relation to sexual activity, and so fails to prevent the encroachment upon religious freedom in this respect.\nRead the full submission here.\nResources: Free Speech Resources: Traditional Marriage\nThere are 29 reactions, Login to View",

He has been a prominent supporter of bitcoin adoption and saw bitcoin as a means to promote economic freedom. He now promotes Bitcoin Cash, a hard fork of the cryptocurrency created with the intent to fix issues such as high fees and long transaction confirmation times.[2]\nBorn and raised in Silicon Valley, he sold explosives on eBay and later pleaded guilty to three related felony charges. He served 10 months in prison, then moved to Japan in 2005. He renounced his United States citizenship in 2014 after obtaining a Saint Kitts and Nevis passport. He identifies as a libertarian, an anarcho-capitalist, peace advocate, and an advocate for individualism and voluntaryism.\n2.1 MemoryDealers.com\n2.3 Cryptocurrency\nVer was born in San Jose, California. He attended De Anza College for a year, dropping out to pursue his business interests. He moved to Japan in 2005 after serving a 10-month prison sentence for illegally selling explosives.[3][4] He renounced his United States citizenship in 2014 after he became a citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis.[5][6] In 2015, he was denied a visa to reenter the United States by the U.S. Embassy in Barbados, which claimed that he had not sufficiently proven ties outside of the United States that would motivate him to leave at the end of his visit, causing fears he might become an illegal immigrant.[4][6][7] Later in the same year his visa was approved by the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, and he visited the United States in June 2016 to speak at a conference in Denver, Colorado.[citation needed]\nAccording to an interview he gave in 2016, Ver describes Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as one of his major passions in life. Ver can be seen in videos competing in BJJ world championships[8] and has achieved the rank of Brown belt.[9] He identifies as a libertarian, an anarcho-capitalist, peace advocate and advocates for individualism and voluntaryism. In 2018 he was ranked number 36 in Fortune's The Ledger 40 under 40[10] for transforming business at the leading edge of finance and technology.\nMemoryDealers.com[edit]\nHe was the CEO of MemoryDealers.com from 1999 until 2012.[11] In 2000, he attempted to enter politics by running for California State Assembly as a candidate for the Libertarian Party.[12]\nIn 2002, Ver pleaded guilty to selling explosives without a license, to illegally storing explosives, and to mailing the explosives. Ver bought 49 pounds of \"Pest Control Report 2000\" explosives, sold at least 14 pounds of them as large firecrackers on eBay, stored the explosives in a residential apartment building, and mailed them to customers via the U.S. Postal Service. He was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison.[5][4][3][13]\nCryptocurrency[edit]\nVer began investing in bitcoin in early 2011.[14] The first investment he made was for Charlie Shrem\u2019s Bitinstant.[15] Ver's investment allowed the company to hire a designer and another programmer.[16] He invested over a million dollars into new bitcoin related startups including Ripple, Blockchain.info, Bitpay[17] and Kraken.[5] In 2011, Ver's company Memorydealers was the first to accept bitcoin as payment.[18] His early advocacy for bitcoin earned him the moniker of Bitcoin Jesus.[14]\nIn 2012, he created bitcoinstore.com with hundreds of thousands of items available for purchase with bitcoin. In May 2014, an old email account used by Ver was hacked and used in a failed attempt to ransom bitcoin.[19]\nVer gained control of bitcoin.com in April 2014.\nIn 2012, Ver was organising bitcoin meetups in Sunnyvale.[20] He is one of five founders of the Bitcoin Foundation. Ver wants bitcoin to rival major fiat currencies.\nHe is one of the main proponents of a larger block size. He supported the development of Bitcoin XT as a hard fork method towards an increase. Ver and his high school friend Jesse Powell attempted to re-establish the Mt Gox exchange during the June 2011 bitcoin price crash.[20]\nVer writes opinion pieces for bitcoin-related websites and online forums. He has advocated for the widespread adoption of bitcoin software client that allows for an increase in the block chain block size limit. Ver strongly disagrees with the block size limit because it is contrary to his preferred strategy of rapid and widespread growth of bitcoin. Ver wants the use of this currency to be so widespread that an alternative cannot supplant bitcoin's first-mover advantage.\nDuring an interview with CNBC in December 2017 he expressed the opinion that insider trading is not a crime - \"I think insider trading is a non-crime\".[21]\nHe believes that the violent interventions of governments should be replaced by voluntary human interactions in the free market. Ver identifies with the political philosophy of individualism.\nIn 2012, Ver helped the establishment of the Bitcoin Foundation with a large donation.[citation needed] In late 2013, Ver donated more than $1 million worth of bitcoin to the Foundation for Economic Education.[14] Ver has donated more than $20K to antiwar.com.[22]\nList of former United States citizens who relinquished their nationality\n^ \"California Birth Index of Roger Keith Ver\".\n^ Popper, Nathaniel (2017-07-25). \"Some Bitcoin Backers Are Defecting to Create a Rival Currency\".

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Candidates set for May elections\nWine Fest Tickets on Sale \u00bb\nOn Thursday, March 8, the Virginia Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission (TRRC) met and approved Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative\u2019s request for a $2.6 million grant to deploy 135 miles of last-mile fiber broadband across Southside Virginia through its subsidiary, EmPower Broadband Cooperative (EBC). \u201cLast-mile\u201d is the terminology utilized to describe the final leg of a broadband connection from main line fiber to a home or business. The application for this grant was submitted in November 2017; and receiving approval is the culmination of the dedicated efforts of MEC\u2019s staff, board of directors, and a number of our area\u2019s legislators and citizen members on the TRRC. The grant will cover one half of the $5.2 million fiber-to-the-premises pilot project.\nJohn Lee, president and CEO of Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative (MEC), commented, \u201cWe are pleased and excited to receive these funds and we are eager to get EmPower Broadband Cooperative up and running and bringing value to Southside Virginia.\u201d Lee indicated that a tremendous amount of work went into the application, and even more into the process, and the cooperative extended its sincere thanks to the many who played critical roles in MEC receiving the grant. He singled out Halifax Mayor Ed Owen, Delegates James Edmunds and Tommy Wright, Senator Bill Stanley and several other members of the Commission who stepped up for Southside Virginia and those they represent and Lee emphasized, \u201cEd Owen\u2019s role in our success at the Commission cannot be understated, he aggressively carried the banner for MEC\u2018s application and we are grateful for his effective leadership.\u201d\nLee went on to say, \u201cAccess to fast, high capacity broadband is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity, and from that perspective, it\u2019s a travesty that rural Virginia has been left behind to fend for itself. Extending fiber-optic cable to our substations presents a unique opportunity for MEC to utilize those resources to the greater benefit of those we serve and, through EmPower, deliver the best in internet service to both unserved and underserved students, residents, and businesses throughout our service territory. Receiving the Tobacco Commission grant funding allows us to begin the substantial task of addressing the digital divide between Southside Virginia and urban areas, and provide a service that\u2019s a difference maker and has a proven impact on a region\u2019s social and financial health.\n\u201cElectric cooperatives are, far and away, the best positioned entities to bring ultra-high-speed broadband to the unserved or underserved rural areas of the Commonwealth, and MEC has been down this path before, providing electric service in the 1930\u2019s when no one else would. This time, we are addressing the injustice by leveraging a vast network of existing infrastructure including easements, poles and wires that connect every home and business in our service territories. Several Virginia electric cooperatives are already investing in fiber to accommodate increasing communications needs and, in those instances, the only remaining step is deploying fiber to the doorstep of the homes and businesses to whom they provide electric service. While the story of rural \u201cinternetification\u201d is still being written, it is clear that the electric cooperatives will have a significant effect on provisioning last-mile broadband services. We are committed to bringing economic and educational opportunities back to our region and believe this effort is a strong step towards meeting that objective,\u201d Lee stated.\nMEC will deploy fiber cable to connect its substations from Gretna to Emporia and points in-between. The EmPower pilot program, designed to prove surveyed estimates and fine tune best practice construction techniques, will enable members within 1,000 feet of the fiber backbone to subscribe for the ultra-high-speed internet service. Entry level services at 50 Megabits per second (Mbps) download and 50 Mbps upload will be offered at a monthly cost of $65-$75 including a Wi-Fi-enabled fiber optic router. This speed and bandwidth will enable the use of video streaming to multiple phones, tablets, and televisions. Further, as the pilot progresses, MEC will offer Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone service.\nThe retail fiber-to-the-premises pilot will serve portions of Brunswick, Charlotte, Greensville, Halifax, Mecklenburg, and Pittsylvania counties, and construction is anticipated to be complete within 26 months, well before the 36-month period required by the grant. Upon the successful completion of the pilot, MEC and EmPower will evaluate the feasibility of expanding broadband service to the remaining portions of its electric service area and beyond.\nIn addition to the TRRC grant, MEC and EmPower are evaluating multiple additional opportunities for grants, including Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Connect America Funds, to assist in deploying fiber-to-the-premises throughout Southside Virginia.\nMEC has already initiated material procurement for portions of its fiber backbone with the first deployment slated for the Bracey area of Mecklenburg County, and the Shockoe community of Pittsylvania County. The retail pilot, offered by EmPower Broadband Cooperative, will be open to members along the route, but MEC sees the opportunity to open service to those in nearby communities with the attainment of future grants. A deployment schedule will be released within the coming weeks as planning continues.\nDavid Jones, chairman of the MEC board of directors, comments, \u201cMEC\u2019s priority remains providing the best in electric service; however, our EmPower Broadband offering presents an intersection of two needs. Our electric cooperative\u2019s ever-increasing need for data communications has created an opportunity for our broadband cooperative to deploy fiber resources for high-speed internet to our members. It is unacceptable that to complete their homework assignments, and have access to the unlimited educational resources available through the internet, students in many of the areas we serve must go to a library or sit in a restaurant that offers Wi-Fi. Our families deserve more\u2026 and when it is financially feasible\u2026 MEC is compelled to provide it.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Does Garlic have Health Benefits?\nSince Greek and Roman times we have been consuming garlic both for its taste and for its assumed health benefits. It is easy to tell whether the chef has added too much garlic to the salad dressing. It is not so easy to say whether garlic is good for your health.\nGarlic (Allium sativum L) is a member of the onion family. It grows best in climates that have cool winters. Garlic does not grow well in hot climates. The quality of home-grown garlic depends on the seed bulb used, soil and growing conditions, and diseases. The most familiar type of garlic is the white skinned Common garlic. Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum L) has very large cloves, but very little garlic flavour.\nGarlic contains a wide variety of phytochemicals, but most attention has centred on allicin. Garlic, in fact, does not normally contain allicin. Allicin is formed when garlic is cut. The sulphur containing amino acid alliin is broken down by enzymes to form allicin. Allicin is relatively stable if it is kept cool, but starts to degrade when heated. As allicin breaks down, diallyl sulphides are formed.\nGarlic is said to be good for cardiovascular problems due to its blood pressure lowering effects, blood lipid lowering effects and its anticoagulant properties. It is believed to treat cancer, and helps fight hepatic and microbial infections. There are reports that eating garlic reduces the frequency and severity of the common cold. However, most claims are not backed by sound scientific data. Reviews of the scientific literature conclude that, at the present time, there is insufficient evidence to support health claims and no mechanisms of action have been shown for garlic or allicin that explain the purported benefits.\nSo for now keep garlic in the kitchen to spice up Mediterranean dishes.\nChemical Structure of Allicin\nAlder R, Lookinland S, Berry JA, Williams M. 2003.

This is done through constructing a stoma.\nThe stoma is the end of the small intestine that is extended through the muscle and skin and sutured in place. It becomes a combination rectum and anus but without the sphincter muscles that allow control. It puts out feces whenever it feels like it and there is nothing you can do about it. Modern medicine has developed technology, commonly called bags, to contain and control the output.\nThe stoma is a short section of the small intestine which, in the ideal circumstances that are used in the teaching videos, protrudes from 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch through the wall of your lower abdomen near your belly button. The exact placement on right our left depends on the type of surgery. Picture a jumbo hot dog that has been peeled sticking out of your side and you get the picture. It is red, glistening and rough, just like the tip of a hot dog would look without the skin.\nThe bag consists of a barrier, sometimes called a wafer, that sticks to your skin and a bag to contain the waste. They come in two piece and one piece. They come in different shapes sizes and materials. The difficult part is finding what works best for you and learning how to apply it.\nIn a perfect world you come home and are able to do the whole process of applying and changing the bags yourself. Life goes on.\nWe were not in a perfect world and from my reading on-line, neither are others.",

        "title": "Lower Back Pain: The Big 5: Part 1 - News",
        "raw_content": "The first of the \u201cBig Five\u201d is facet joint pain. The facet joints sit at the back part of the spinal column and are the source of back pain in at least 30 per cent of people. When people speak about having arthritis in their back, this is probably the part that is affected. However, arthritis in backs is common and in most cases doesn\u2019t actually hurt. As you get older is it more likely back pain is coming from facet joints, however, on MRI\u2019s of people aged 80 with NO PAIN, 83 per cent had facet joint arthritis. Just because it is on the scan, doesn\u2019t mean it hurts.\nThe symptoms of facet joint pain are non-specific and overlap with other structures from the back. As a rule of thumb, the pain is an ache above the belt line, tennis ball or larger in size, and commonly more to one side or the other. The pain can radiate down the leg as far as the calf and very regularly gets labelled as \u201cSciatica\u201d, but is it not. The pain is generally worse with bending backwards, and in the morning is associated with stiffness that improves as you warm up over 10-30 minutes. If you are being examined by a doctor they may try to reproduce your pain by pushing over the facets and doing a test called the Quadrant Test. This is done by bending backwards and toward the side of pain, trying to reproduce the \u201cusual\u201d pain. Interestingly, if you have no pain when doing this it makes it unlikely the pain is coming from your facets.\nConfirming that facets are the source of the pain is done either with facet joint injection or by blocking the nerves that supply the facets. This is known as a medial branch block. Although, you would think injecting the facet directly would be a good test, it turns out it isn\u2019t because of leakage out of the joint. As a result doctors tend to avoid these injections and perform medial branch blocks. Medial Branch blocks use a very small amount of local anaesthetic to numb the nerves that supply the joints. It is performed on two separate occasions and if the pain goes away both on occasions, it is highly likely the facets are responsible for the pain.\nTo be able to \u201cfix\u201d the joint would be great, but at the moment, there is no such solution.\nTreatment is aimed at decreasing the pain arising from the joints rather than \u201cfixing\u201d them. This is done utilising multiple techniques including medications, rehab and exercise. In addition, the pain signal can be disrupted from getting from the facet joint to your brain by a process known as radiofrequency ablation.\nThis process heats the same nerves we blocked during medial branch blocks. Radiofrequency ablation is effective in 60-90 per cent of people, and results in 60-90 per cent decrease in pain for nine to 18 months. In many people, when the nerve regenerates the pain does not return, however if it does, it can be repeated with expectation of getting a similar period of pain relief. With regards to stem cells, there has been some reports in the media about their success, but nothing has yet published, to my knowledge, in the scientific literature. It is certainly an area that may be effective and in the future Melbourne Stem Cell Centre will likely look at performing a study using cells in people with confirmed facet joint pain that have failed normal treatment.",

        "raw_content": "ORIGIN of SURNAMES : CORFF and LE CORFF by Nicholas J. CORFF and Patrick LE CORFF\nCorff : The story of a very old name : by Nicholas J. Corff\n1-The expansion of the surname Corff in Europe\nAmong other things I have discovered the name to be a very old one, indeed, going back to ancient Celtic roots and consisting of old and prominent families. I have visited Corfe Castle on the south coast of England, I found a book in St. Petersburg (then Leningrad) containing a picture and description of the old Count Corf of the Czar's court, I know a little about the Norman knight de Corf, and I have some information on von Corff in the Netherlands and the related von Korff's in Germany. I also know that in the ancient Celtic language \"Corff\" or \"Corffe\" or \"Corf\" meant the passage between two hills( a cutting or pass ) and in ancient French it may have had a connection to the raven.\nI have found several dozen Corff or Korff families in America, but have found there are two very diffierent lines that these families come from.\nAs I mentioned there is a noble family \"Corf or \"Corff\" in Russia, a General Corf was one of Peter the Great's main army commanders and Catherine the Great was escorted to Russia to marry the Czar by a Baron Corf, there is even a Baroness Corf Bay on the Kamchatky Penninsula in old maps\nHowever,apparently a Jewish family living just above the Black Sea in Russia began to use the name, probably from living on or near an estate owned by the noble family, began to use the name sometime in the 1800s --\nSome migrating to Germany and some to the U.S. In fact one Baruch Korff, a rabbi, was a strong supporter of former President Nixon.\nI have found in the old geneological records that quite often birth records and/or baptismal records will include the name of the church or place where these events happened or the records were stored. This can be very helpful since religion is often carried down through generations and was not something our ancestors changed lightly. My father, grandfather and great grandfather were Catholics, this I know, so the very high probability is that so were their fathers before that going back many, many generations.\nThis allows me to eliminate as very unlikely connections those Corffs who are or were Jewish, and also to search for those that are not obviously Protestant, although at some point in the 1500s or 1600s there may have been a connection. This approach has led me to some conclusions which you find interesting. First the English Corffs are a special case since nearly everyone there was forced to become Protestant by Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Second, the major part of the Russian and German nobility remained Catholic, or Russian Orthodox, even up to the Twentieth Century. The Dutch Corffs could be either Protestant or Catholic, although if they married with the German's they were probably Catholic, as would be the case with the English (I have found such marriages).\nAs to the Le Corffs, you are the first that I have found, so I know very little of your background or how you might fit in the above discussion. It may be that you are the most truly Celtic Corffs and therefore are the true source branch or are the closest to it.\nIt might interest you to know that in Germany today there is a Count von Korff and a Baron von Korff, in fact whole related families of Counts and Barons von Korff at the highest level going back to the earliest crusades. The \"K\" and \"C\" of the name seem to be interchangeable in spelling from what I can tell. The von Korff family line was given the French fleur de liev, in gold on a red background, in thanks for a Korff saving the life of Lewis the VIII of France in the crusades, and the crest comes with the motto in Latin roughly translated as \"in him have faith\". In the Neitherlands there is a von Corff family, that is very closely tied to these von Korffs\"\nMy own Corff family came to America sometime in the middle of 1800s, perhaps from the Luxembourg area, were Catholics, and that my great grandfather was named Nicolas\n. 2- possible origins\nTo start out, the oldest reference I have to the name is a Celtic one appearing in the book,\"Celtic Heritage\" by Alwyn Rees and Brinley Rees, printed by Thames & Hudson, 1961, reprinted in 1990. On page 182 of this book a passage reads as follows:\n\"The dichotomy manifested in the division into North and South appeared too in the division of the Welsh royal hall. One of the terms used for the partition that separated the two parts of the hall as corf, a word which is also used of 'a wood on the steep brink of a stream', such a wood as often formed the boundary between the upper and lower halves of territorial units. The king and his heir, his judge, his chief poet, and other dignitaries, sat in the upper part of the hall; the captain of the house/troop and his men, and the household bard, sat in the lower part...\"\nIn another source, which I cannot immediately identify, the word corff is used as a term referring to the \"passage between two hills\" and could not be a more accurate term in describing the physical location of Corfe Castle. \u00a9 FreeFoto.com\nThe Historical Research Center provided the following in a request for information on the name variations Corff, Corffe, Corfe or Corf (which seem somewhat interchangeable since, for instance, Corfe Castle has been spelled Corffe, Corff and Corfe in historical documents).\n\"The English surname Corfe derives its origin from two quite distinct sources. In the first place, this name is of toponymic origin, deriving from a particular place name near which the intial bearer resided or held land. Here the name Corfe derives its origin from Corfe Castle or Corfe Mullen located in Dorset or from Corfe in Somerset. Thus, the surname Corfe denotes one who hailed from one of the above places named Corfe, which name is derived from the Old French \"corf\", meaning \"raven\".\nReferences to the surname Corfe, where it derives its name from the place name Corfe, are generally prefixed by \"de\", meaning \"of or from\", and go back as far as the twelfth century. One Alard de Corf was recorded in the Pipe Rolls in the year 1195. Interestingly enough, the etymology of the place name Corfe bears a direct relation to the alternate origin of the surname Corfe. Early references to the name carrying the Norman-French definite article \"le\" meaning \"the\", identify Corfe as a nickname, being derived from a characteristic of the initial bearer. Here the name denotes one with the characteristics of a raven, that is, one with black raven hair or one with a hoarse croaky voice.\nRecords of this surname date as far back as the thirteenth century, to a mention of Angod le Corf in the Curia Regis Rolls for Berkshire in 1208...\" As you probably aware the Welch variation on the meaning of \"Corff\" is indeed a reference to \"body\". In fact this usage has continued to this day in their use of Corff to refer to almost any form of body -- including their governmental committees and legislature.\n\"A cutting or a pass\": these two uses seem to precede the modern Welsh use of the name for \"body\", which makes me think that perhaps the modern Welsh usage is a corruption of the English word \"corps\", since in the old writing script a \"p\" and an \"s\" both tended to look like an \"f\".\nOf course you could also connect all meanings in a kind of Druidic way: with the idea of a \"pass\" as a connection between life and death, and by extention bring in the symbolic \"raven\" and the resulting human \"body\".\nHowever, the use of \"Corff\" as a proper name of very respectable families across many countries of northern Europe over a thousand or more years argues strongly for the more universal and positive meanings of the name and, I believe, limits the modern Welsh meaning to an aberation that is probably not connected to the proper name usage at all. It is much more likely that these proud old families took their names from places of fortification and glossy black ravens then from dead bodies.\nHow these three very different meanings (boundary. raven and body) interrelate is an extremely intriguing question.\nThe name itself is so rare in numbers and so distinctive in pronunciation and spelling that an accidental variation of meaning at the original source is somewhat unlikely. More on this later. As to the Dutch, German and Russian connections.\"\nCorff, Le Corff : a Celtic origin ? :by Patrick Le Corff:\n\"For the time being and back to the XVth century for the oldest sources, we can say that the French branch is located only in Britanny (West of France) and more especially in the d\u00e9partement of Morbihan. We have identifyed 2 regions : one in the centre of Morbihan and the other one on the coast, close to the town Vannes). The name is commonly written LE CORFF or LE CORF (more rarely CORFF but it exists). It was a common custom in Britanny to add the briton article \"AN\" before the name ; later it was translated to the French article \"Le\".\n- As regards the meaning, i am very interested in you explanation about the meaning of CORFF. So far, the unique meaning found refers to the briton word KORV, i.e. Body. This might have applied to people having an uncommon physical look. One can also find CORVIC or CORFBIHAN (little body) or CORFMAT (handsome body). You are right when saying that CORF meant RAVEN in ancient French, with a latin origin, like KORV ( corvus) I have also found out the name CORFF on the web and the site of the city Reading in Berkshire (GB).\n- One CORFF ( his profession was moneyer ) is mentioned as having had a role in the history of Reading in the early XIth century. This matches your own references. As you probably know, celtic populations left Great-Britain in the Vth or VIth century because of Saxon invasions. They came back to Britanny and mixed themselves with local populations.\"\nPhoto du ch\u00e2teau libre de droits, provenant du site Freefoto.com./ portraits d'apr\u00e8s Microsoft Encarta \u00a9",

        "raw_content": "September 24, 2018 1 CommentINSPIRATION & BOOKS\nFirst, I will not be mentioning anybody\u2019s names in this post because the people who reach out to me trust me enough to share their pain with me. I will never share confidential information online or with anyone. I am grateful to you all for sharing your struggles and for picking my brain. Here are a few things you can do if you are not sure what to do about the thoughts of growth in your heart:\n1. Realise it is Okay to be Unsure\nBeing at a cross roads is a good sign. It means you know something is not right and that you need to correct that thing. You know that there is a burden in your heart you need to unload and you know that you need to grow or do more depending on what is applicable to you. You know you want more out of life than the status quo. So, congratulations for recognising that something needs to change.\nWhen many of us feel stuck, we always assume we are alone. We always conclude that everything and everyone is against us. We always conclude that everyone else is doing great or well except us. We always just categorically feel that our world is on a stand still and more.\nGood News! I am here to tell you that you are not alone. So many people are also going through what you are going through. Many of us are not sure about things, some of us are confused, some of us are indecisive of which of our plans to work on first, some of us can\u2019t just seem to find our way. So, know that you are not alone. One you know that you are not alone, it makes you realise that life is not just working against you.\n3. It is Time For Change\nNow that you know there is something you need to change and that you are not the only one who is unsure about what to do, it is time to do something.\na. Write Your Thoughts / Confusion / Uncertainty and Concerns Down.\nI always encourage everyone to get themselves a journal and write down the things they are not sure about down. The more you write, the more you continue to unburden your heart and the more you write, the more you know what direction to take.\nb. Pray\nYou see, I have experienced the hand of God in my life. I do not have everything I desire to have. In fact, I do not have half of the things that I want but I assure you, I have enough for my life right now and I am taking one step at a time to achieve more, not by my power but with the help of God. I want to encourage you to PRAY about those burdens in your heart. All your answers may not come to you right now BUT prayer makes you feel like you are releasing a burden to a higher power. Prayer also makes you feel at ease and makes you be able to go on. So, whether big or small round of prayers, prayer works, so pray.\nc. Speak to Someone\nI started out this blog saying some people contacted me and spoke to me about their challenges. Since they met with me, ALL of them have written back to me saying how helpful the tips and ideas I shared with them was. Look, in life, we have been blessed with people who can help us. If you are not sure about what to do, where to turn or what step to take next, look for someone who can help you and speak to them or pick their brain. When you speak to someone about your challenges or problems, it becomes half shared and then possibly half solved. Sharing your burden with people who may help you make you feel better. Not only that, it helps you find clarity and then solution.\n4. Action Time\nYes, you have done all the above. You have received counsel and you are better now or maybe not. One of the things that has helped me personally on my own journey is \u201cdiving into the river, even though I can\u2019t swim\u201d. Like, I said, I do not have it all but I tell you, nothing compares to the confidence I have now and this is why I can write to encourage you, speak to you and do all the many things I do now to help as many people as I possibly can. Still I do not have it all.\nI know you do not know everything. In fact, you are not sure how to go about things but did you know that the more you work on anything, the better you would be at it. A research shows that if you can spend up to 10000 hours on anything, you can be considered an expert on that \u201csubject\u201d. I can now consider myself an expert writer, after more than 2500blogs under my belt, two best selling books and many publications on other platforms.\nOkay, if it makes you feel better, let me share this: did you know that I finished writing this particular blog in less than 1 hour?, editing included. Well, I am still writing but relatively, these days, it take me so short a time to write once I get my thoughts together. Although I can say that I have been gifted to write, I can say also that the more I continued writing, the better I have been. Not only that, I have also been blessed enough to get paid to write for businesses, corporate organisations, other blogs and so many other platforms.\nSo, I want to encourage you, you do not have to know everything about what you feel led to do. You just have to be willing to start doing those things irrespective or what may come you way. This is exactly what I do and the more I work on anything, the more I continue to find my way. You can do that too.\n5. Don\u2019t Suffer in Silence\nI mentioned in point 3c above to speak to someone. See, when you start taking baby steps to work on the desires of your heart, it is obvious that you may not know everything. This is WHY you must reach out to people who know more than you do. Look for someone who do exactly what you want to do, ask them to mentor or coach you. I would say this though, a lot of \u201csuccessful people\u201d are always willing to help. However, if you do not ask them, you may not receive any help. Also, you may need to invest some time and money in some sort of mentoring or coaching \u2013 here, this may be what your chosen mentor or coach does for a living. So, some mentors or coaches may have to charge you for helping you or mentoring you. The question now is, what price will you pay for purpose? Don\u2019t suffer in silence, pay the price\u2026..\nFinally, my prayer for you is that as you take little steps towards achieving your goals, the spirit of God will direct you to find your way and may you find, live and fulfill your purpose. IJN. Amen. Have an awesome week ahead.\nLove Always, Mojisola.\nOther Blogs That Would Help You\n1. The Power of Journaling\n2. Dreams Don\u2019t Work Unless You Do\nOld Photos: I was wearing Next Dress | Zara Jumper | Next Shoes\nDid you know that shades of browns is one of the biggest trend for this Autumn/Winter 2018? This week on the blog, I have 7 Wearable Fashion Trends to Try and also 7 Make Up Trends to Try. Stay tuned to learn more.\nGreat early morning read.\nI was reading as I am getting ready and nodding my head agreeing with the pointers.\nThanks for always sharing you thoughts with us.",

        "title": "Debate Growing Over Preemption Of State Claims Over Organic Produce Labeling - Food, Drugs, Healthcare, Life Sciences - United States",
        "raw_content": "United States: Debate Growing Over Preemption Of State Claims Over Organic Produce Labeling\nArticle by Nino Przulj\nRecently, the Eastern District of New York held that the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C \u00a7\u00a7 6501\u20136522) preempts various state claims that Abbott Laboratories, Inc. falsely labeled its Similac\u00ae Advance\u00ae Organic Infant Formula as organic. Marentette v. Abbott Laboratories, Inc., 15\u2013CV\u20132837, 2016 WL 4444787 (E.D.N.Y Aug. 23, 2016). This decision comes on the heels of Quesada v. Herb Thyme Farms, Inc., 62 Cal.4th 298 (2015), where the California Supreme Court held that the Act does not preempt state claims against a certified grower of organic food for intentionally mislabeling organic produce.\nMarentette and Quesada reach opposite conclusions and symbolize two sides of the same implied preemption coin. That clash centers on a distinction made in In re Aurora Dairy Corp. Organic Milk Mktg. & Sales Practices Litig., 621 F.3d 781 (8th Cir. 2010). In deciding the Act's implied preemptive scope concerning state claims against organic-certified dairy producers and retailers, Aurora distinguished between complaints that attack the USDA's certification process itself and complaints that challenge the facts underlying that certification. Aurora considered an attack on the certification process itself as a direct challenge to the Act's purpose \u2013 namely to establish consistent national standards governing organically produced products flowing through interstate commerce, 7 U.S.C \u00a7 6501. Aurora, 621 F.3d at 795 (\"[T]o the extent state law permits outside parties, including consumers, to interfere with or second guess the certification process, the state law is an obstacle to the accomplishment of congressional objectives of the [Act].\") (internal quotations omitted). Aurora viewed an attack on the facts underlying certification, however, as \"not necessarily conflict[ing] with the [Act's] purposes.\" Id. at 797. Based upon that distinction, Aurora found the Act only preempted state claims challenging the certification process itself.\nBecause the Eighth Circuit is the only circuit court to address this issue, Aurora weighs heavily in any implied preemption analysis concerning the Act. Quesada and Marentette reflect this reality. In Quesada, the California Supreme Court stressed that \"the complaint here accepts as valid [i.e. does not challenge] Herb Thyme's certification and compliance with federal regulations on its certified organic farm,\" and instead challenges \"the intentional commingling and fraudulent substitution of conventional for organic produce[.]\" Quesada, 62 Cal.4th at 320-21. Although Quesada did not expressly adopt Aurora's reasoning, it took pains to avoid labeling the challenge as an attack on the certification process itself. On the other hand, in Marentette, the district court bluntly stated that the \"challenge to this labeling [i.e. the combination of the word 'organic' with the USDA seal on the infant formula label] cannot be described in any way other than a direct challenge to the USDA-accredited certifying agent's decision itself.\" Marentette, 2016 WL 4444787, at *6. Unlike Quesada, Marentette expressly adopted the Aurora distinction, concluded that the Act preempts a challenge to the certification decision itself, and granted Abbott's motion to dismiss.\nQuesada and Marentette thus reveal an important lesson: The success of a preemption argument under the Act depends heavily on the characterization of the challenge. Stated succinctly: Ignore Aurora at your peril.\nNino Przulj\nFDA's Approach to Regenerative Medicine \u2013 Joanne Hawana, Of Counsel, Health Law Practice (Video)",

        "raw_content": "Illinois to lead 5 state\u2019s purchases of high-speed locomotives\nTrains already running 110 mph between Dwight, Pontiac\nBy Jon Hilkevitch - Chicago Tribune\n(MCT) \u2014 Locomotives capable of exceeding the 110-mph speed limit on the passenger rail corridor between Chicago and St. Louis will be bought for five states under a process the Illinois Department of Transportation will lead, officials said Thursday.\nThe Federal Railroad Administration selected IDOT to manage the multistate procurement of at least 35 next-generation locomotives for high-speed rail corridors in Illinois, California, Michigan, Missouri and Washington state, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn said.\nThe locomotives will be capable of cruising at up to 125 mph, based on a request from California, and they will comply with the most stringent federal EPA emissions standards, officials said.\nCalifornia plans to operate the diesel-powered locomotives at 125 mph on portions of some routes. The state also has separate long-range plans for an electrified high-speed rail service topping out at 220 mph on an approximately 430-mile route between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The first 130-mile segment in a rural, middle section of the state is scheduled to be in operation in 2022. But the program, estimated to cost $68 billion, is under fire from opponents, and its future is in doubt.\nCurrent Amtrak trains on the Chicago-to-St. Louis corridor have been running at 110 mph on only a 15-mile segment between Dwight, Ill., and Pontiac, Ill., since last November, but the existing locomotives do not meet the latest and most stringent pollution regulations, officials said.\nIDOT and Amtrak\u2019s goal is to provide 110 mph service on at least 75 percent of the route, between Dwight and Alton, Ill., by the end of 2015, officials said.\nThe new locomotives that will be bought through a competitive-bidding process will be paired with 130 new bilevel rail cars that are being built at the Nippon-Sharyo plant that opened last year in Rochelle in northwestern Illinois.\nThe federal government has allocated $808 million to build the locomotives and passenger coaches, officials said.\nTwenty-one of the locomotives and 88 of the rail cars will operate on routes in the Midwest, IDOT spokesman Mike Claffey said.\nDelivery of the passenger cars is expected to begin in mid-2015 for testing, Claffey said. \u201cMultiple deliveries per month will start in early 2016,\u201d he said.\nThe delivery schedule for the locomotives will be determined by the procurement process, he said.",

        "raw_content": "How To Develop A Biopic: A Fast And Easy Way To Get Ready To Write\nWriting a screenplay about someone's life, whether a famous person, or someone special to you can be one of the most rewarding experiences a writer can have. If you have always wanted to write a biopic, here's a fast and easy way to get started:\nFirst, find your subject then make sure the subject's life is legally available to you. I recommend that you consult with an entertainment attorney before you begin unless you are writing about your own life.\nIdentify which part of the subject's life you want to write about and why. If you are writing about an athlete with a world record, you may want to write about the events that led up to the moment of winning; if it's a tormented celebrity, the events that led up to their tragic death or biggest success. Follow the steps below to get your biopic in shape.\n1. Write a synopsis\nWrite down all the events you wish to cover in the screenplay. The synopsis should be long and messy - you must tell the story as you see it before you can turn it into a good screenplay. The goal is NOT TO CENSOR yourself yet. Simply end a paragraph when you finish describing one event and begin a new one. I tell my students that there's an old Chinese proverb that says, \"If you would compress, first you must expand.\" Your synopsis, if done properly, will have way more than can fit into a screenplay.\n2. Read it aloud\nOnce you have written a synopsis that tells the whole story, my advice is to read it aloud to a sympathetic listener or to yourself. It's amazing how when you read your work aloud, it's easy to hear every mistake. Do this several times until you are satisfied with the story. Don't worry about it fitting into a screenplay form just yet.\nBy accepting that our natural style is often broader than the slim format of movies, we get to have it all: to tell our story just as we would like it, and then decide what we want to present to an audience.\n3. Create an outline for your story as a film\nThe next step is to structure the film. Here is where you must compress. Take your synopsis and try to mold the person's life into a 3-act structure. (Movie Outline software is an ideal tool for this) being aware that it can't fit perfectly -- because life is messy! In my writing system, we use The Mythic Journey Map, a narrative technique that defines 12 clear plot steps for feature length films. The key is to get as much of the story as you can to fit into the 3-act film structure. I teach my students to look at the 3-act structure In this way: Act I sets up the main character's dream, Act II is the unfolding of the main character's nightmare and Act III is the resolution of the dream from Act I. For example, in Witness, Act I is about catching the killer, Act II is about being unable to catch the killer, and Act III is about how the villain is caught.\nThe key to a strong outline is that by assuming that the climactic event you have chosen will be the climax of Act III, or the resolution of the dream, you can reverse engineer Act 1, the dream, and imply Act II, the nightmare. Once you have created your outline, read it aloud several times and make sure you are satisfied. Now you are ready to write the first draft of your biopic.",

        "raw_content": "How to Utilize Story Development Services\nBy Mere LaTour\nStory producers are an integral part of the collaborative effort in the cinematic arts. Their job is to bring out the fullest potential in the story. They hone story strengths and create the structural foundation necessary to generate an unforgettable on-screen experience. Directors, screenwriters, and studios use story producers to construct, develop, and evaluate their project\u2019s story.\nA great story begins as a diamond in the rough. Although the idea may come from nowhere, it doesn\u2019t emerge in its finished form. Instead, writers work to shape this raw potential into the most compelling tale possible. The premise may be both intriguing and commercially viable but for it to succeed, the portrayal must engage its audience. Because once an audience checks out, it\u2019s unlikely they\u2019ll reinvest in the story.\nThis is where the services of a story producer comes into play. They draw on their love of story and their expertise with structure to develop an absorbing screenplay that will translate to the big screen. Along with development and evaluation, a story producer prevents these pitfalls and realigns a story that gets off track.\nStory development can be approached from the screenplay before production begins, in post-production, or at any point in between. Professional story development spans analysis of story and structure for a screenplay as well as fleshing out a cohesive line of action from existing footage. For example, coverage is written for every screenplay submitted to a studio or agency in Los Angeles. However, in a documentary environment such as in Boston, the story line is more often developed through the hours of film that has already been shot without a pre-existing screenplay. Even when a feature or documentary is in production, it\u2019s common to use a story producer to sharpen the story by reworking the characters, crisis, conflict and overall arc.\nThe Los Angeles film business uses story analysts to evaluate literary properties and write industry standard coverage. Literary properties are primarily screenplays but can also be novels, investigative reports, memoirs and manuscripts that are being considered for the big screen. Coverage consists of a top sheet that includes the specifics, a logline and the premise. Studios require a grid that rates the plot and structure. Following the top sheet is a one- or two-page synopsis and a page of comments. The comments evaluate the story, characters, and structure and make recommendations concerning marketability. Finally, the project is rated as either pass, consider, or recommend.\nThe most common rating by far is \u201cpass.\u201d Screenwriters that have the opportunity to submit their screenplays to studios and agencies would be well advised to hire an analyst to evaluate their script before sending it out. Often, the screenwriter is so close to the story that they miss glaring issues. It\u2019s not unusual for a screenwriter to claim they have a commercially viable project and maybe even a blockbuster when in actuality, the script is far from ready. A professional analyst can help your screenplay gain its edge so it stands out among the stacks that are piled up and waiting for coverage. If a studio or agency story analyst evaluates the script as a pass, it will not be read by anyone else.\nAside from acting as a kind of gatekeeper who looks for scripts that stand out, story analysts also collaborate with directors, screenwriters, and studio executives to strengthen a story. A concept can be commercially viable but needs further development before the script is camera ready. There may be weaknesses in the structure and the story that need to be reworked. Often, flaws that need restructuring and refining show up during production and parts of the story are even reworked while the project is in post-production.\nAt the other end of the continuum, story producers develop a cohesive line of action by considering sequences of film clips. A documentary filmmaker with a strong vision may get stuck when they view their hours of footage. Their overarching theme is obvious but they need a compelling line of action that pulls it all together. This was the case for Cambridge-based filmmaker Bill Parker of Hindsight Media and his Last In Class project. Parker came from a Harvard educated legacy, but graduated college near the bottom of his class. He explored the concept of success by filming individuals who did not do well in school yet went on to create gratifying careers. Each person had their own intriguing story and Parker drew on my experience as a story producer to develop a cohesive line that integrated the individual stories. We explored poignant themes that emerged from the lives of these people and found the universal threads that connected them together.\nIt can be said that story professionals serve the story. They analyze and evaluate the story in terms of its structure, plot, characters, dialogue, genre, and underlying themes. Their goal is to flesh out the creative potential and elevate the story to its highest level while at the same time, ensuring a solid structural foundation. Collaborating with story professionals can provide fresh energy and significant insights that enliven a story. In the beginning and in the end, what sets a project apart is the power of its story.\nAbout Mere LaTour\nMere LaTour collaborates with filmmakers to strengthen the creative potential within the story.

        "raw_content": "How Local Teens Beat Sarah Palin In The Battle Of The Wasilla Skate Park\nA member of the band Portugal. The Man recalls a flap with then-Mayor Palin that took place 10 years ago.\narchive-Zachary-Scott-Carothers 10/16/2008\nMaybe you've never heard of the wild indie-rock band Portugal. The Man. But chances are good you've heard of their hometown of Wasilla, Alaska. And when we found out that the band, which just released its third album, Censored Colors, was from the same town as Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, we figured it's a small enough burg that they'd have some good stories to tell.\nLast month, singer/guitarist John Baldwin Gourley \u2014 who grew up in a remote generator-powered log cabin with no telephone outside Wasilla \u2014 wrote a passionate essay on his feelings about his former mayor's ascension to the national stage, but it was bassist Zach Carothers' story about his battle with Palin over a skate park that really caught our attention. We asked him to recount his tale for us.\nThe Saga Of Sarah Palin, A Bunch Of Alaskan Small-Town Teenagers, And The Wasilla Skate Park\nGrowing up in Wasilla, Alaska, was not the most exciting time. Out of all the thousands of things there are to do in a land as beautiful as that, there is a lot of downtime. My family brought me up to love the outdoors. Almost every weekend, we were fishing, hiking, camping or snowboarding. I loved all of it.\nAs boys become teenagers, we get bored. And, in a small town such as ours, it's incredibly easy to get caught up in bad habits. I was lucky enough to discover skateboarding. My parents bought me my first skateboard in Santa Cruz, California, while we were on a family vacation when I was 12. I returned home and talked most of my friends into getting skateboards as well. Honestly, my Think deck, Independent trucks and Alien Workshop wheels saved my life. Starting the summer before eighth grade, my friends and I would do nothing but ride into town and skate all day.\nAs we got older and more skilled, we were quite limited on where we could practice our hobby. Businesses were obviously not too fond of anyone hurting themselves for hours a day on their stairs or handrails, and those who have been to Wasilla know there is a general lack of pavement.\nBeing extremely jealous of the skate parks that we'd seen in movies and magazines, we decided to make some of our \"California dreaming\" a reality. We started small. During my sophomore year of high school, I talked a few friends into signing up for wood shop. The five of us earned our grades by building all sorts of ramps and rails that we carried across the school parking lot to the outdoor basketball courts that never really got used. We had the time of our lives, skating all day in a place where no one would bother us and we wouldn't bother anyone else.\nThis didn't last long. Several times, we showed up after school to see most of our ramps ruined either by guys who didn't like us or by kids trying to jump four-wheelers and dirt bikes off our ramps. After fixing our little park a few times, we decided we needed a more permanent \u2014 and safer \u2014 solution to our boredom.\nOur parents brought up the idea of going to the city to ask about the chances of getting a real, concrete skate park built. The number of kids skating was growing like crazy, and with all the baseball diamonds, hockey rinks, and tennis courts around, it seemed like a reasonable request.\nApparently, the City of Wasilla did not agree with us. Bummer. Sarah Palin, the mayor of our small town, informed us that a skate park simply would not fit in the budget.\nOddly enough, a few years later, we heard rumors of a multimillion-dollar hockey rink that was going to fit in the budget. Now, I don't have anything against hockey, I played my whole life, but there were already several places to play hockey in Wasilla. Of course, us dumb kids wouldn't take \"no\" for an answer. A few of my friends and our parents attended city hall meetings every week. Eventually, our persistence paid off. Mayor Palin made what could be considered a \"safe bet\" when she suggested that if we could raise half the money, the city would match it and we would start construction. We were very happy and very determined.\nThe \"Wasilla Skate Park Committee\" went to work immediately. Over the next few months, we held bake sales, car washes, raffles and six or seven benefit concerts. We convinced local businesses to donate goods, services or labor to help support us. We even put up one of those giant, lame thermometers in city hall and colored in every $5,000 we made. And, incredibly enough, we raised roughly $42,000. Not too bad for some punk kids in a small town in Alaska.\nI really don't think that Palin thought we could do it. She was certainly surprised when we filled in the red ball at the top of that stupid thermometer. And boy, did she have a surprise for us.\nAfter all of our hard work, she informed us that the project was going to have to be delayed ... indefinitely. That slippery little skate park had gone off and slipped right out of the city budget again. The Wasilla Skate Park Committee was not too pleased, and once again, we were back at city council meetings every week. Overall, the demeanor of the council was not a kind one. We felt looked down upon and generally not taken seriously. As we loved to skate, they probably thought of us as hoodlums. They may have thought we all did drugs, skipped school and defaced public property \u2014 and, you know, some of us did. But that is what I tried to explain to them. Wasilla's youth needed a place to go. We needed activities that would keep us from getting into trouble. Skateboarding is a sport. If kids were constantly playing football in front of the grocery store, the city would have had a problem with that as well. Eventually, and after jumping through numerous hoops, our persistence paid off.\nOver a year and a half later, the project was finally under way.\nNow, 10 years later, the Wasilla Skate Park I fought for as a 15-year-old boy is still functioning and as busy as ever \u2014 and celebrated its 10th anniversary on October 10. Despite the hoops that Mayor Palin and the city council made us jump through, I think the city agrees it was a very worthwhile investment and that it's done much more good than bad. I'm proud of myself and everyone who helped the Wasilla Skate Park come to be. All in all, I'm very grateful to have been part of the experience.",

The financing involved a master debt facility of up to $50.5 million for the construction and permanent financing of the projects, which will produce approximately 18.2 MW (DC) of energy. The majority of the electricity generated will be sold to various Massachusetts municipalities and will afford the cities with valuable savings to their electric bill and rental income for those sites also ground leased by the town for the development, in addition to local property tax revenues. Bethany A. Bartlett, chair of the Group and a partner in Sherin and Lodgen\u2019s Real Estate Department, led the legal team along with associates Matthew S. Cote, Jennifer L. Ioli, and Samantha A. O\u2019Malley.\nBartlett focuses her practice on solar energy, representing lenders and developers. She has a specialty concentration in representing lenders in complex financing transactions, including Solar and Investment Tax Credit deals, as well as permanent financing for solar facilities.\nKearsarge Energy focuses on public private partnerships to ensure that the benefits of each of its projects are shared with local stakeholders, including municipalities, school districts, municipal light departments, and affordable housing developments. The projects in this portfolio include an EPA Superfund site, a municipal landfill, a parking lot canopy, current and former industrial sites, and undevelopable open land.\nKearsarge Energy | http://www.kearsargeenergy.com\nSherin and Lodgen | http://www.sherin.com",

Power generated by the new system during its first year of operation will offset the equivalent of 152 tons of CO2.\nSolar energy is completely renewable, and unlike coal, oil or natural gas, does not release greenhouse gas emissions. Said Jim Kolea, President, \"We're always looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact. We care about how we treat the planet just like we care about how we treat our people.\"\nWork began on the project in November and is expected to be completed around the first week of December. The new system will function for at least 25 years and reduce PennFleet's dependence on the traditional power grid to near zero. The company works to shrink its environmental footprint in all aspects of operation, from recycling used solvents, batteries and tires to turning waste oil into a heat source.\nPennFleet | pennfleet.com",

        "raw_content": "A few years ago at a library sale, I picked up a book called \u201cOld Nova Scotian Quilts. For some reason I was drawn in by the photographs of antique quilts, remeniscing of my maternal grandmother, who spent many of her senior years quilting at the local seniors centre from 9 am \u2013 5 pm as if she were on a timeclock. I still think someday I will take on the opus of making a log cabin quilt or similar. But tonight I found a new level of interest in this book; just read on to the end of the post.\nThe other day, my mom sent me three more branches of our family tree. Generally I have been quite obsessed with my dad\u2019s dad\u2019s side, because we grew up on the family farm. I always had a vivid imagination about those ancestors. So this week I have been thinking about all these other people and stories, and tonight I was looking back through my maternal grandmother, Jean Elizabeth (Maynard) Sloan\u2019s roots.\nIt was the first week of April, 1774, and 21 year-old George Mennard boarded the ship \u201cThomas & William\u201d with his wife and child, and sailed from England to Nova Scotia.I found an account of the ship online, which I loved reading about here, especially the firsthand account of another passenger on the same ship named Jonathan Barlow.\nThey settled in the Cumberland County area until at least the 1820s, before my line moved to Southwestern Ontario. I read more of what the conditions were like in that area in Jonathan Barlow\u2019s account here.\nAll of this to bring me back to this quilting book. There are two quilts from about 1810, Cumberland County; the oldest quilt in the Nova Scotia Museum. The person who made it is unknown, but how fun it is for me to imagine, just for a moment, that my own ancestor or one of her neighbours or women she chatted with during the 6-week voyage could have stitched one of these.",

The white house has been replaced by the main building of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank. The brown building, formerly the home of Sir Maurice Davis, is now the bank\u2019s parking lot. The difference between what is there now and the old wooden houses is stark. All around the square there have been dramatic changes.\nMost of Basseterre was burnt to the ground in 1867 by a fire that started on the western side of Independence Square, then called Pall Mall Square. This was not the first time a fire had destroyed the town. Fortunately fires since then have only taken individual buildings.\nPerhaps, the question that this raises is how best to preserve the character of the town and still provide for a modern and safe business environment. It is a dilemma we should confront with a great deal of informed thought if we want to be considered a heritage destination.",

March 2018 data show that the share of total loans in GDP equalled 75.1%, while the estimated credit-to-GDP gap was -13.1 percentage points. The estimated credit-to-GDP gap is below its long-term trend, however it is entering the recovery phase, which indicates that the financial cycle is in a phase in which the introduction of a CCB rate above 0% could constrain credit activity. Also, the estimated credit-to-GDP gap is below its reference value of 2 pp and indicates that the reference guide for setting the CCB rate is 0%. Given all the above, the NBS Executive Board decided to keep the CCB rate for Serbia unchanged.\nAdditional information and explanation about the CCB can be found on the NBS website, in the part Financial Stability, Capital Buffers.",

        "raw_content": "Kids dealing with differences\nThese three full-color books help youngsters cope with feeling different and show them that \u201ceverybody will laugh at me\u201d can turn into laughing with friends who enjoy hanging out with them and celebrate the differences that make them wonderfully special.\n\u201cThe Day You Begin\u201d (by Jacqueline Woodson, illus. Rafael Lopez, Nancy Paulsen Books/Penguin, hardcover, 32 pgs., ages 3-8, 2018, $18.99) says, \u201cThere will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you.\u201d The classroom may erupt in giggles when you speak with the accent of your country. When the other students tell what they did last summer, you may have gone no farther than your own home. \u201cThere may be times when the world feels like a place you\u2019re standing all the way outside of\u2026.\u201d But everything changes on the day when you begin to open up and share the real you. The recipient of a National Book Award, Coretta Scott King Award, a Newberry Honor, and the Margaret A. Edwards Award for Lifetime Achievement, Jacqueline Woodson has crafted a powerful message. Rafael Lopez, who supports the lesson with appealing pictures, has won two America\u2019s Book Awards and has created no fewer than seven U.S. postage stamps.\n\u201cWhat in the World Is Wrong with Gisbert?\u201d (Jochen Weeber, illus. Fariba Gholizadeh, Flyaway Books, hardcover, 32 pgs, ages 3-8, 2018, $16.00) starts with a giraffe so tall he can nap with his head in the trees. He feels very cheerful until hyenas tease him about his spots on his way to kindergarten. Suddenly, he shrinks two inches. The next day, ostriches call him a beanpole. He shrinks again. Before long, he doesn\u2019t want to see anybody. He skips school, until his friends ask him to come back. Now he grows a whole six feet in a half second. Acceptance and putting his plight in perspective add up to an important, happy ending in this effective story about bullying and the power of words.\nIn \u201cCrouching Tiger\u201d (Ying Chang Compestine, illus. Yan Nascimbene, Candlewick Press, hardcover, 40 pgs, ages 6-9, 2011), Vinson\u2019s grandpa arrives from China. Vinson hopes to learn from him about tai chi and martial arts. Instead, they ride together on the bus, and he has to wear a red silk jacket to the New Year\u2019s Eve parade. How embarrassing! He hopes his friends won\u2019t see him. But when the lion dancers let him lead them in the procession, tradition emerges as better than he could have imagined. Engaging first-person text and beautifully thoughtful art combine to deliver a gentle, compelling tale. Named one of \"50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading\" by the Author\u2019s Show and regularly profiled in media such as the \u201cNew York Times,\u201d \u201cWashington Post,\u201d \u201cSan Francisco Chronicle,\u201d and \u201cHuffington Post,\u201d author Ying Chang Compestine appears frequently on national television.\nRidge Writers\u2019 book \u201cPlanet Mojave: Visions from a World Apart\u201d is available at the Historic USO Building, Jawbone Canyon, Maturango Museum, and Red Rock Books.",

        "raw_content": "Today marks the kick off of another \u201c100 days of happiness\u201d challenge. OMG! Like you should totes like do it with me. We could be like happiness BFFs!!\nStop rolling your eyes at my valley girl moment. I\u2019d seriously love you to join me because really, what\u2019s better than focusing on happiness for 100 days? One hundred days from now, we will be close to saying goodbye to 2014. I think focusing on happiness for the next 3+ months is just what I need. I\u2019m willing to bet you could use an infusion of happiness as well. Heck, I think it\u2019s what everyone needs.\nTo be honest, I\u2019ve had a stretch of days (ok, weeks) where I haven\u2019t been feeling super happy. I have been putting my best foot forward and posting about happier things but inside, I must say, it\u2019s kinda gray. I\u2019m at a crossroads. I know what I want for my life. I can see it. I dream about it constantly and it isn\u2019t in just one area of my life. I need major change on several fronts. I can see it just across the divide yet, I am here afraid to jump.\nI know better. I know I should be stepping (or leaping) out on faith. I have a plan but these days, more often than not, I find myself to-do-listing my dreams and spending all of my energy on the things that aren\u2019t on the list. At the end of each day, I am so wiped out from stressing over things I\u2019m not passionate about that I don\u2019t have time for the things that will change my life for the better. I nail myself to the wall at work and when I get home, my brain is fried. I grab dinner and plop down on the couch or the bed and zone out by reading or watching TV.\nSo, I\u2019ve decided this month marks the start of a boot camp phase (the kick ass phase) in my life. What\u2019s the plan? Well, I\u2019m starting with the 40 day Fresh Start meditation I posted about last week. I\u2019m layering the 100 Days of Happiness on top of that. I\u2019m also kicking off a two week juice detox (weekends will be free but not a free for all). Once I get my mind and body clear, maybe I will be ready to push my dreams into overdrive. Something has to shake loose. It would be awesome if you\u2019d join me and post about your experiences in the comments section. I\u2019m curious to know how you guys are breaking through. I believe with focus, we can change our lives and change the world. Here\u2019s to a fresh start!\nLabels: gratitude, Marelisa Fabrega, monday quotable, series",

        "raw_content": "Ohio Men's Basketball Falls Short At Akron\nOhio (9-10(2-5 MAC)) 29 39 68\nAkron (10-9(3-4 MAC)) 36 35 71\nReb: Gavin Block - 7\nAst: Teyvion Kirk - 6\nPts: IVEY, Jimond - 17\nReb: UTOMI, Daniel - 8\nAKRON, Ohio -- Junior guard/forward Gavin Block (Lincoln, Ill.) tied his career high by sinking six three-pointers to finish with a game-high 18 points, but the Ohio men's basketball team (9-10, 2-5 MAC) was unable to overcome several critical late-game miscues in a 71-68 setback to Mid-American Conference East Division rival Akron (10-9, 3-4 MAC) on Tuesday (Jan. 23) at James A. Rhodes Arena.\nThe Zips led by as many as 14 in the first half and took a 36-29 lead into halftime thanks in large to part hitting six treys in the opening 20 minutes of play.\nThe Bobcats opened the second half on a 12-6 run over the first five-plus minutes, with a jumper by freshman guard Teyvion Kirk (Joliet, Ill.) cutting Akron's lead down to one at 42-41. The Zips increased their lead back to seven points on a triple by sophomore guard Daniel Utomi with just over 11 minutes to play, but Block drained a pair of threes in a span of less than two minutes to even the score at 52-all with 8:47 remaining.\nFreshman forward Mark Kostelac provided the Zips with four points off a layup and a dunk over the ensuing minute to put Akron up by three, but Block once again delivered a dagger from beyond the arc to knot things up at 56-all with 7:33 to go. Akron responded with an 11-2 run over the next four minutes to take a nine-point lead at 67-58. The Bobcats missed four three-point attempts during the Zips' charge while Akron junior guard Jimond Ivery scored nine of his team's points during the stretch.\nOhio was not going to go away easily, though. Junior forward Doug Taylor got the Bobcats' rally started by drawing a foul with 2:57 left and hitting a pair of free throws. From there, Ohio went on an 8-0 run over the next 1:26, with senior guard Mike Laster (Detroit, Mich.) hitting a jumper, junior guard Jordan Dartis (Newark, Ohio) making a pair of free throws and Laster making a layup with 1:31 left to make it a one-point game at 67-66.\nUnfortunately for the Bobcats, they were not able to take advantage of the opportunity, with Block missing a three with 32 seconds left after Akron freshman guard Eric Parrish turned the ball over. Ohio was then forced to foul Ivey, who made a pair of free throws to increase Akron's lead to three at 69-66 with 20 seconds to go. The Bobcats did not get the shot they wanted on their next possession, and freshman guard Virshon Cotton came up with a big rebound for Akron off a missed layup by Block. Cotton was then fouled and sank both free throws to seal the win for the Zips.\n\"We had some silly mishaps at times on the offensive end,\" said fourth-year head coach Saul Phillips. \"At times, very good, but, again, in crunch time where you needed to generate it we weren't able to do it. We certainly our lightyears better at moving the ball than we were awhile ago, and I think if you look at it again, 16 assists on 23 field goals, we're getting closer to that. The other aspect of the game that got away from us a little bit was 50-50 type balls where they'd get a deflection and we'd be on the floor, they'd get it and score out of it. That happened on more than one occasion. I don't think our guys weren't playing hard; I'm not saying that. But, we just didn't get to enough 50-50 balls. If we could have, we probably would've gotten more stops.\"\nIn addition to being the game's leading scorer, Block hauled in a team-high seven rebounds and also added two assists in 38 minutes. He finished in double figures in points for the seventh time this season. Kirk finished 5-of-10 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free throw line to log 16 points, marking the team-high 17th time this year he has finished in double digits. He also distributed a game-high six assists, collected two steals and grabbed a rebound over 29 minutes of work. Taylor totaled 11 points off of 3-of-4 shooting from the floor and 5-of-6 shooting from the line. He also grabbed six boards and blocked a game-high four shots in 32 minutes. Taylor has blocked at least three shots in a game seven times this season -- including each of the last three contests.\n\"We kept fighting but we just couldn't execute,\" said Block of the loss. \"Down the stretch, you've got to come together as a team and grind it out and make a lot of winning plays.\"\nIvey went 6-of-15 from the floor with a pair of triples and converted three of his four free throw attempts to lead Akron with 17 points. He also added a team-high four assists, six rebounds and a steal in 30 minutes. Graduate guard Malcolm Duvivier recorded 16 points thanks in large pair to four three-pointers. He did the bulk of his damage in the first half, scoring 13 points. Duvivier also chipped in three assists and two steals in 32 minutes before fouling out. Utomi shot 5-of-10 from the floor with three triples to notch 13 points. He also pulled in a game-high eight rebounds to go along with three assists over 39 minutes. Kostelac gave the Zips 10 points, four rebounds and a steal in 24 minutes of work off of the bench.\nOhio plays host to a nationally televised contest against MAC East Division rival Buffalo (15-5, 7-0 MAC) on Friday (Jan. 26) at the Convocation Center. The game is set to tip-off at 6:30 p.m. ET and will be featured on CBS Sports Network.",

Still, the result was not without its extenuating storylines, including another pair of Florida Gators taking home rings from the big game.\nOffensive lineman Trent Brown and defensive back Duke Dawson have become the 25th and 26th different Gators to win Super Bowl rings. Brown started for the Patriots, while Dawson was listed as one of the team\u2019s inactives and neither suited up nor played in the game.\nOn the other side of the field, defensive linemen Dante Fowler Jr. and Dominique Easley represented Florida. Easley has missed the entire season with an injury, but Fowler saw extensive action for the Rams with four solo tackles and two tackles for loss in the game. That continued a dominant postseason run for Fowler.\nWith the Pats\u2019 victory, this is the ninth time in 11 seasons that a Florida player has win a Super Bowl ring. It is also the 17th consecutive year that the Gators had at least one former player in the game.

This project aims to endorse human development and assist in reducing youth unemployment by increasing the involvement and inclusion of young people in service development in South Africa and Namibia using participatory and explorative service design tools.\nThe challenges faced by the marginalized youth in developing countries, such as unemployment, are not simple or easily solved. This is influenced by a number of factors including levels of education, gender, self-esteem, geographic location, physical ability and transport. Employment and educational opportunities are two factors which impact on the future success of young individuals. Most of them do not have the necessary formal skills to access employment or to be involved in sustainable development. The project focuses on San youth and young adults (13\u201324 years of age), especially living in poor or otherwise marginal conditions who either are or face the risk of becoming marginalized. The target groups participate directly in the research project through workshops and social media. Another target group comprises developers of civic organizations and government officials working with the youth.\nProject team: Stefano Anfossi, Bilge Ozkan Porro, Fabrizio Pierandrei, Silvia Remotti, Valentina Vezzani, Valentina Salvi, Adrian Larripa Artieda, Nicola De Franceschi, Lucrezia Fratto.\nCape Town, Kimberley, South Africa; Windhoek, Namibia / 2015-2019\nMarginalised communities",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Uncategorized \u00bb Writer\u2019s Block\nMarch 2015. My mind is a blank. For the first time in years, I have no ideas for a book. I can\u2019t recall this ever happening before. As I was finishing Compassion in 2011, I came across a flyer for an exhibition I\u2019d seen a couple of years earlier in the Mus\u00e9e du Judaisme about Nazi art thefts during World War II, and that gave me the inspiration for the next book. Girl with Parasol was finished in the middle of last year, and since then \u2014 nada!\nIn the beginning I was quite happy to have my head to myself. With mental space to spare, I read some proper books, but now I\u2019m hankering to get back to my normal routine of research and writing, relieved by junk television series and trash fiction (mind you, trash that respects both intellect and syntax is hard to find.)\nOne reason I have no ideas is because the publishing future of Girl with Parasol is still undecided. My agent is still chasing print publishers, and she has also evoked the possibility of an in-house self publishing procedure (which means I can\u2019t be the only homeless author on their books). I put an early version of the novel on Amazon some months ago, but she made me take it down again to avoid scaring the punters. Print publishers get a large proportion of their income from digital sales. Estimates vary, but it might be as high as 50%. At some point, I will presumably have to grit my teeth and format the book for online platforms. This is not as fast and easy as they claim (Smashwords has a 200-page style guide!), but with time, concentration and Xanax it can be done. But right now everything is in flux and I don\u2019t know what I should be doing.\nThe other thing keeping the Muse at bay is, paradoxically, Art. I\u2019m selling my husband\u2019s collection of paintings, and I\u2019m sad to see them go. They are American Impressionists and post-Impressionists that he acquired over a period of nearly twenty years up until his death in 2009. They have been stocked wherever there was room, in basements, hallways, corners, and corridors. There were some in the space down by the side of the piano, and more in his brother\u2019s house in Normandy. The whole collection has never been together. There are close to 130 paintings. There has never been enough wall space to hang them all, and now that I\u2019m planning to downsize, there never will be. I\u2019ve spent the past two weeks trying to figure out what we have, what we used to have, and what we no longer have. Since one View of the Pont-Neuf looks much like another, it\u2019s very confusing. Thank God the experts are coming soon to do a real inventory.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home | Uncategorized | Construction Equipment Leasing & Financing\nThere are many businesses that require the use of specialized equipment to be able to perform their service, especially if they are in the construction industry. This equipment can consist of sophisticated machinery, or expensive tools. These things can be incredibly expensive. While it is a necessity for the success of the business to obtain these items, it may be difficult to be able to get enough cash to purchase said equipment. There are many options that business owners can explore when they find themselves in this predicament. There is construction equipment financing options that can be explored, as well as construction equipment leasing options.\nThere are many benefits that can be gained if a business decides to engage in construction equipment leasing rather than construction equipment financing. Anytime a business gets its hands on any type of machinery, then that business is financing the cost. If the business pays cash for the equipment, they are financing the cost. Once that cash has been used, it cannot be used again. If the business that used the cash runs into financial problems in the future, then that resource is not available to be used to solve financial problems. Smart business owners do not put their cash in assets that will lose their value over time. Business owners that lease their expensive equipment can pay off that equipment while simultaneously earning money by using it.\nBusinesses that lease construction equipment can have a long term repayment schedule with very low payments. These businesses are often able to avoid making any sort of down payment. If it is necessary, things like the cost of delivery and instillation can be added to the lease. Sales tax and agreements on maintenance costs can be added as well. This means that a business could start generating income through the use of construction equipment without making a single down payment. The income that is generated makes it possible for the business to make low monthly lease payments.\nIf the construction leasing is not done through a bank, then it can free up the businesses\u2019 credit line. Some people don\u2019t realize that their business\u2019s credit limit is limited by the amount of money they have received from the leasing department of the bank. Although commercial credit and leasing agreements are done by separate bank departments, the agreements are not often separate. Business owners that are good at utilizing their money will usually obtain several credit sources that aren\u2019t related. Businesses that turn to leasing companies that aren\u2019t run by banks instead of using construction equipment financing are more likely to come out ahead.",

        "raw_content": "Home News Some Saints players kneel during national anthem\nDuring in the New Orleans Saints game against the Carolina Panthers approximately ten Saints players \u201ctook a knee\u201d (kneeling on one knee) during the playing of our national anthem.\nNational Football League (NFL) players taking a knee during our national anthem has become a controversy since former NFL player Colin Kaepernick first took a knee last year during the playing of our national anthem as a protest against police shootings.\nKaepernick\u2019s display of disrespect for our country as a form of protest was unnecessary. One might say he did it as much to draw attention to himself as to protest. The display was unnecessary because as an NFL player Kaepernick had a big soapbox to stand on and make pronouncements since he was interviewed by sports media after every practice and game.\nKaepernick could have gotten his thoughts about police and gun violence out to millions through the media dozens of times without having to resort to disrespecting (in Donald Trump\u2019s view) the American flag, active duty military, veterans and our country as a whole by kneeling during our national anthem.\nNow, over a year later, other NFL players, including some New Orleans Saints, are taking a knee during the playing of our national anthem. Their sincerity can be questioned since now, after it has become a national controversy, they suddenly decide to take a knee. It is blatantly obvious that they are just getting on the bandwagon to draw attention to themselves and not because they are sincere about their \u201cprotests.\u201d\nSome, including President Trump, have called for NFL players who kneel or sit during our national anthem to be fired. That would be wrong. The First Amendment to the Constitution allows for free speech and free expression. What certain NFL players are doing comes under the protection of the First Amendment, they\u2019re exercising their rights as Americans to \u201cprotest.\u201d\nAll Americans have the same rights as NFL players. They have the right to use their freedom of speech to express that they do not like having their national anthem, flag, veterans, military and country as a whole disrespected by pampered millionaire football players.\nPatriotic Americans can make their displeasure with the disrespect for our country known by turning their backs to those who disrespect our national anthem and flag by not buying tickets to any NFL game, not buying NFL merchandise, and not watching the NFL on TV. This idea is not new, TV ratings for NFL games are down since the disrespectful \u201ctake a knee\u201d protests started.\nPatriotic Americans should also turn their backs to athletes in other sports, both professional and amateur, who disrespect America by sitting or kneeling during our national anthem. These insults to our country should not go unchallenged. Veterans should take a leadership role in continuing to defend our flag and national anthem from the disrespect shown by those who sit or kneel during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner.\nColin Kaepernick is an unemployed former NFL player because he disrespected our country. No NFL team hired him after his callus and thoughtless display of disrespect.\nNFL players are exercising their rights. Patriotic Americans who love our flag and our country should do the same by letting NFL players know loud and clear that disrespecting America is no way to get our respect.\n(Times Sports Editor Joel Ray is a member of the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.)\nPrevious articleDavid Drude remembers Rosaryville\nNext articlePonchatoula hosts second streets workshop for the region",

        "raw_content": "Presidential Mansion > Blog > Obama and Romney spend a campaign-free Sunday with family\nF2APWWKCBF8F President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican challenger Mitt Romney both spent Sunday by attending church services with their respective families. Yesterday was one of the rare occasions when the two front runners for the upcoming presidential elections have no campaign event to attend to.\nPresident Obama, together with first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters, Sasha and Malia, attended mass at St. John\u2019s Episcopal Church in Lafayette Square, just across the White House. The last time the president publicly attended church with his family was on Easter Sunday this year, also at St. John\u2019s.\nRev. Michael Angell mentioned what he called \u201ca summer of violence\u201d during the sermon and spoke about the tragic shootings in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado late last month as well as the one in a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. A total of 18 people were killed in both incidents. After the sermon, the first family took Communion from Angell.\nAccording to the White House, the president and his family has attended nine different churches in Washington during his almost four years in office. Aside from St. John\u2019s Episcopal Church, the other D.C.-area congregations the first family attended are the 19th Street Baptist Church, the Washington National Cathedral, Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church, Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, Shiloh Baptist Church, Zion Baptist Church, and Evergreen Chapel at Camp David in Maryland.\nMitt Romney, who is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also took a rest from the campaign yesterday morning and attended a Mormon sacrament meeting in Wolefboro, N.H. with his wife, Ann, his son Tagg, daughter-in-law Jen and their six children. Romney and his family listened intently to the speakers, which included members of the Marriott family, owners of the famous hotel chain.\nThe Romney family also took part in singing hymns and exchanging pleasantries with other worshipers. At one point during the service, his wife and daughter-in-law joined about 40 other women to sing \u201cBecause I Have Been Given Much,\u201d a popular Mormon hymn about using the blessings you have been given.\nRomney is the first Mormon to clinch the presidential nomination of the Republican Party, or any other major U.S. political party for that matter, and he doesn\u2019t speak often to voters about his faith in any great detail.",

The Board announced a possible one-year license suspension and $50,000 fine against a Florida family physician accused of allowing unlicensed medical assistants to perform liposuction, the second major disciplinary action recently taken by the Board that involves inadequate training in cosmetic surgery.\n\u201cLiposuction is a surgical procedure that should only be performed by a well trained and properly credentialed medical professional. Allowing unlicensed or unqualified personnel to perform this type of surgical procedure is a serious breach of patient safety. The recent actions taken by the Florida Board of Medicine send a clear message that this type of compromise to patient safety will not be tolerated,\u201d said Felmont Eaves III, MD, President of ASAPS.\nASAPS urges all consumers who are considering plastic surgery to have their procedures performed under the care of properly credentialed and trained medical professionals. A doctor's board-certification is the best indicator of his or her training in a particular medical or surgical specialty. Patients should select surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), the only Board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery, and avoid those whose liposuction training is based only on the completion of a brief, weekend course. Patients should also be wary of physicians offering \u201cdeep discount\u201d procedures, or those offering surgical procedures in non-clinical settings, such as medi-spas.

        "raw_content": "My name is Rachael Patoray, and I am a Native Oregonian. I was raised in this community, and now I live in Boring Oregon with my husband on our little farm.\nI grew up designing and sewing with my grandmother, Besse. Little did I know that she was not only spending time with me, but she was teaching me how to sew and to experiment with design, patterns, and material. My grandmother was not afraid of color or fun trim!\nAs I got older, I began to design my own clothes and I would then spend long weekends with my grandmother, figuring out how best to turn a pattern that she already had in one of her drawers, into one of my creations. She never told me that my designs were too difficult, or asked me if I was sure I wanted to wear Shakespearean-inspired britches!\nDuring this time, I also began experimenting with \"repurposing\" or altering men's suits and clothing into fashion pieces that I could wear myself. I turned one of my grandfather's suits into shorts and a coat with tails.\nHe gave me some of his ties that I then turned into a skirt and purse.\nI continued to repurpose not only clothing, but other found materials. I used fabric from an old set of curtains and turned them into a 50's-inspired pleated skirt!\nI've always been fascinated with handwork and craftsmanship which includes: beading, fabric dying, and embroidery.\nI have been blessed with my grandparents' creativity. My grandfather is an accomplished stained glass designer and woodworker. Besides sewing, my grandmother spun wool on her spinning wheel and was a skilled weaver; both of them inspired by their time spent in the Southwest later in life after becoming \"snowbirds\"!\nWhen I went away to college, I studied fine art, and then during my Junior year, I stumbled across Costume Design\u2026it was a perfect fit! I learned to hone the skills my grandmother had instilled in me for all those years. I found that I was able to use my fine art training and apply it to my love of design & sewing.\nAfter graduation from Purdue University, I decided to move to New York City and pursue a career in the fine art of Millinery (hat making). I created hats of all styles and learned a new craft, adding another skill to my sewing & design repertoire. I learned about the design process, the art of picking out and applying trim, and the importance of adding those special touches that make a piece unique!\nI have lived in many places before settling back in Oregon, including bustling cities and in-the-middle-of-nowhere towns. I've tried my hand at many different jobs, some that allowed me to be more creative than others. Over the last decade, I earned my Master's Degree in Art Therapy and Counseling, and I now have my own private practice as an Art Therapist and Counselor. I've realized though, that I really missed design and sewing. So here I go, let the reconstruction\u2026restructuring\u2026repurposing\u2026creative alterations begin!!!",

This can cause problems during the cycle, and when the system starts, especially for air conditioning.\nWhen the compressor cycles off, the liquid refrigerant remaining in the evaporator continues to boil for a while. If the compressor does not remove pairs produced by this evaporation pressure in the evaporator is rising quickly. It will stabilize the pressure, which corresponds to a temperature of ambient air vaporizer. For example, suppose that the air around the coil 80F. selection pressure 80F saturation temperature for R-22 is 143.6 pounds per square inch. This pressure is via the external equalizer line on the bottom of the diaphragm. Assuming that the sensing bulb is also exposed to 80F air, the same pressure on the top of the diaphragm. Starting with a gas pressure above and below the diaphragm are equal, spring bends pressure on the diaphragm upward; this causes the valve is closed.\nWhen starting the compressor, evaporator sends the refrigerant vapor in the 80F saturated suction temperature of the compressor. This continues for a period of time before the new fluid flowing into the evaporator controls the temperature to the normal range of about 30F 50F for comfort air conditioning work. High inlet temperature causes excess power consumption of the compressor, which will cause the overload of the compressor motor. If the overload of the compressor motor continues, it will also lead to the damage of the compressor due to high discharge temperature.\nAnother difficulty encountered in the launch is the result of remote sensing pressure light is not limited. He can climb as high as the air temperature around him permission. For example, in the previous case, 80F air around the sensing bulb placed 143.6 PSIG force above the diaphragm. When the compressor cycles ago, the evaporator pressure below the diaphragm is quickly reduced. Therefore, the light pressure above the diaphragm becomes a powerful opening force capable helmet valve is fully open. As a result, the liquid refrigerant is likely to flood the compressor before the valve regains control.\nBecause of these complexities and others, almost all air-conditioning systems with thermostatic valves limit the maximum pressure that can develop in the evaporator. They do it with pressure limiting valves, also called \"Maximum Working Pressure valves, or just M.O.P. valves. Some styles limit the maximum operating pressure in the evaporator by mechanical means, such as a spring. Others achieve the same result using the limited refrigerant in the sounding of the ball valve.\nThe valves shown so far, not been a sufficient amount of vapour refrigerant in sensing lamps, tubes and area above the diaphragm valve that there is always a liquid refrigerant into a ball. For this reason, the term \"Liquid-Charged Valve\" is sometimes used. Society with limited cost valve, on the other hand, M.O.P. valve, which has enough liquid refrigerant included below a pre-selected maximum working pressure (and temperature, that is connected with it). Higher pressure and temperature of the refrigerant in flasks, tubes and in the space above the diaphragm of all pairs. Increasing the temperature of the steam in the production of only a slight increase in pressure. For all practical purposes, when the gas valve, the pressure on the upper aperture stops increasing, when the temperature sensing reaches a certain limit. This solves the problems with residual liquid at the inlet of the compressor and start...",

        "raw_content": "Cheap Grace & Same-Sex Marriage\nApril 10th, 2013 Johnson, Jr.\t8 comments\nAs I watched and read the social media banter surrounding the recent Supreme Court hearing on same-sex marriage, I was appalled by the theological shallowness and simplistic moralizing coming from the hearts and mouths of those in my relational circle who profess to follow Christ. Much of the sermonizing was simplistic in that it failed to make the important distinction between personal ethics and public policy. On a relational level we are called to love everyone, including our enemies (Luke 6:27).\nWhile this is often easier said than done, I think all Christians would agree with the principle. Are we called to love those who are trapped in a homosexual lifestyle? Yes. Is their sin any different from the person committing adultery, fornication or any other sexual sin? No. God opposes all forms of sexual anarchy. But let\u2019s be certain about one thing \u2013 it\u2019s all sin. And sin dishonors God and destroys people.\nThe good news is Jesus died for sin and sinners (Romans 5:8). If we confess our sin, He has agreed to forgive us, cleanse us, and free us (I John 1:9). That is the good news of the gospel. Unfortunately, I wasn\u2019t seeing much life-giving, gospel advice on Facebook; just a lot of what Bonhoffer called \u201ccheap grace.\u201d\nBest selling author and pastor, Tim Keller, explains this phrase with great cultural clarity:\n\u201cBy the time of Hitler\u2019s ascension, much of the German church understood grace only as abstract acceptance \u2013 \u2018God forgives; that\u2019s his job.\u2019 But we know that true grace comes to us by costly sacrifice\u2026Many Christians want to talk only about God\u2019s love and acceptance. They don\u2019t like talking about Jesus\u2019 death on the cross to satisfy divine wrath and justice\u2026Yet if they are not careful, they run the risk of falling into the belief in \u201ccheap grace\u201d \u2013 a non-costly love from a non-holy God who just loves and accepts us as we are. That will never change anyone\u2019s life.\u201d\nIn the words of German pastor and Nazi martyr, Dietrich Bonhoffer,\nSo what does all this have to do with the current public policy debate on same-sex marriage? I tried to connect the dots in my recent Facebook post:\nWhen you claim to \u201clove Jesus\u201d but you promote a lifestyle which He condemned and you seek to re-define something which He already defined you are deceived. In doing so, you make a mockery out of the faith you profess.\nWhat America needs is not a \u201ccheap grace\u201d that comfortably fits within the politically correct parameters of moral relativism and religious pluralism. As Tim Keller wisely noted, \u201cThis will never change anyone\u2019s life.\u201d On a relational level, we need Christians to return to the message of \u201camazing grace,\u201d pointing the sexually confused and addicted to the powerful, life-changing message of the cross. On a public policy level, agree with Jesus\u2019 definition of marriage and hold your elected representatives accountable to honor God\u2019s transcendent laws over and above the evolving opinions of those who have no moral compass.\nCategories: Uncategorized\tTags: Bonhoffer, cheap grace, same sex marriage\nBonhoffer\u2019s Prophetic Question\nOn this day, the 68th anniversary of Dietrich Bonhoffer\u2019s death, we pause to honor the life of a true man of God who did not shrink from standing for truth while many of his pastoral colleagues lived under the convenient and comfortable delusion of cheap grace and a theology of cultural non-engagement. He died at the end of a Nazi noose, but before offering his last breath, he faithfully used both his pen and his proclamation in the service of the gospel.\nOn one occasion in August of 1934, Bonhoffer addressed a youth conference at Fano, a small island in the North Sea, a mile off the coast of Denmark. Bonhoffer spoke with prophetic clarity and authority, calling the young people to a life of radical obedience to Christ. He emphasized the need for each believer to spend time with the Lord in prayer and Bible reading and to hear and obey what the Lord was saying. The twenty-eight year old pastor told the next generation:\n\u201cPeace means giving oneself completely to God\u2019s commandment, wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of Almighty God, not trying to direct it for selfish purposes. Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won when the way leads to the cross.\u201d\nAccording to Bonhoffer\u2019s biographer, Eric Metaxes, \u201cHe was telling them that God had given them the power as his church to be a prophetic voice in the midst of the world, and they must take up their God-given authority and behave like the church that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, was God\u2019s answer to the problems of the world.\u201d\nThis is exactly the kind of wake up call the American church needs today. We are living in a time of unprecedented attacks on our most cherished liberties. The Church is God\u2019s answer to the problems of the world and we have the God-given authority to speak and to act. The question is, will we.\nAt the close of this historic youth gathering, one of the students who was present recalled Bonhoffer\u2019s unforgettable last words to these impressionable young people:\n\u201cWhat are we waiting for? The time is late.\u201d\nI believe Bonhoffer\u2019s words are just as timely and relevant to the Church in America today. May the pulpits in America once again proclaim the Lordship of Christ over every arena of public life and may God\u2019s people hear and obey all that the Holy Spirit is speaking to His Church in this dark hour. What are we waiting for? The time is truly late.",

        "raw_content": "Rescuing Love From the Grey\nOn Valentine\u2019s Day, America reached an all-time low in popular culture perversion with the release of the pornographic, sadomasochistic movie Fifty Shades of Grey. Perhaps it serves as a prophetic picture of the ever-deepening fog surrounding modern conceptions of love and romance. God never intended to leave us groping in the murky shadows of grey, especially when it comes to such critical issues as love, sex and romance.\nI have Christian friends who believe the \u201cspiritually mature\u201d actually live in the sophisticated, enlightened world of grey. Black and white thinking, the kind that draws clear lines between good and evil, is really a sign of haughtiness and narrow-mindedness. We all know, they argue, that the real world is mostly painted with various shades of grey. The general conclusion is something like this \u2013 \u201cSo shut up and quit judging people. Just love everyone. It might be right for them. We are all on our own journey.\u201d Ad nauseam.\nWhile life certainly has some grey hues, God has none! He is clothed in unapproachable light (I Timothy 6:16). He has no shadows (James 1:17); no grey, contour less lines. He is light and in Him is no darkness (I John 1:5).\nWhere God has chosen to speak, there remains no darkness.\nThe good news is that God has a lot to say about true LOVE.\nThe Apostle Paul shines God\u2019s clear light on LOVE in I Corinthians 13, a chapter that has become well known as \u201cThe Love Chapter.\u201d\nI want us to focus specifically on verse 7:\nI Corinthians 13:7, ESV\nI love the rendering in the Amplified version: Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fade less under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening].\nFirst of all, notice that all four of the main verbs in this verse are present tense, meaning these qualities should become part of our lifestyle.\nIn addition, notice the repetition of the phrase \u201call things.\u201d These four characteristics of what I am calling \u201cDaring Love\u201d cover every situation or circumstance we will encounter in life.\nAnd the best news of all is that LOVE, real love, reigns victorious over every situation.\nIn the days to come, we\u2019ll take a look at each of these phrases in an effort to pull LOVE from the world\u2019s fifty shades of grey.\nCategories: Uncategorized\tTags: Daring Love, Fifty Shades of Grey",

His artistic approach is built on observations of landscape and include installation, sculpture, drawing, actions and video.\nGu\u00e9rin's work questions the relationship between architecture and internal changes that occur in the surrounding landscape. His interest lies in challenging the foundations of urban planning that are in collision with the Earth's rhythm and its unpredictable structural mutations. The artist uses almost invisible gestures in his sculptures that are made of elements such as water, soil or snow. The artist challenges objects to the limits of their structure, disposing them of their own functionality and giving them new meaning.\nIn his latest solo exhibition \"Inclinaisons Variables\" (2012) at the Camac Art Center in France Guerin \"freezes\" his installation \"Landslide\" while the interactive installation \"Magnitude\" (2011), made of sanders blurs the perception of the viewer.\nHarold Guerin graduated from the Ecole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure d'Art de Nancy (2006). In 2009 he was invited to the FRAC Champagne-Ardenne residency in France where he presented the exhibition \"Hors champs\". In 2010, the FRAC Franche-Comt\u00e9 selected him for Grand Est residency. His work is featured in several group exhibitions such as \"L'avenir d'une illusion\" FRAC C-A at the CAC Passages in Troyes, France, \"The Robert Schuman Art prize /Kunstpreis\" in Metz, France, the \"Moving Worlds\" triennial in Luxembourg, \"Space Between\" at the CAB in Grenoble, France, \"The material feat\" in Geneva, Switzerland, \"Jeune Cr\u00e9ation\" Centre-quatre in Paris, \"Esta no es una historia\" in MACMA, Maracay, Venezuela.\nhttp://www.haroldguerin.com/en\nHarold\u2019s NYC residency occurs within the framework of the Residency Unlimited / Flux Factory partnership.

        "raw_content": "This week I was checking and adjusting a practice member who has been going to Chiropractors for years and coming to me for the last year. She asked me a question and after I gave the answer she said, \u201cYou really should tell everyone that because it is one of the biggest fears of those who know nothing about Chiropractic\u201d.\nHer question was, \u201cWhat causes the noise during some adjustments?\u201d It is a great question, and one that I possibly overlook in my explanation of Chiropractic care. I am going to answer it in the most concise way possible below:\nRemember that the human body is perfect in its design. This includes our joints which are designed for efficient movement over a lifetime. The two bones that come together to make a joint have a protective capsule of tough ligaments around them to keep them together. They also need lubrication! The lubrication comes in the form of a fluid that is in the joint that helps to keep it healthy by exchanging nutrients from the surrounding environment. It is VERY important to note that if the joint is not moving properly it does not circulate the fluid as well, nutrition to the joint lessens and you have a joint that is getting less healthy by the day. Now back to the noise. Just like a spray paint can with a ball bearing that helps to circulate paint, the fluid has gas (mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) suspended in it. When the joint has pressure put on it (Examples: during an adjustment, during exercise, during a stretch) sometimes this gas is released from the joint and later reabsorbed by the body.\n5 Additional things you should know about the noise (and Chiropractic):\n1) Hearing a noise from your spine during an adjustment is not something to be afraid of, and your Chiropractor should inspire you to feel confident that you are with a practitioner that is competent, gentle, and will work hard to earn your trust over time.\n2) The purpose of Chiropractic is not to release gas in joints. It is to find areas of spinal Subluxation which are causing interference to the transmission of information from the brain to the body parts.\n3) The sound is NOT necessary to receive an adjustment. I have been getting adjusted my whole life and some of the best adjustments I have ever received involved no noise.\n4) Some techniques are noisier than others. Many Chiropractors use different techniques to accomplish the same goal.\n5) Terms like \u201ccracking\u201d ,\u201dpopping\u201d, \u201cmanipulation\u201d are pet peeves of most good Chiropractors, and some find those terms insulting. If you read this article, you know know better. (the preferred term is \u201cadjustment\u201d)\n\u2039 Check your eggs\nA toothy conversation with a few twenty somethings \u203a",

However, having received my exam results with three of my five papers passed and having a young son and wife to support, I felt that civilian life would be preferable. I intended to resume my studies and to take up a job as Inspector of Weights and Measures. On discharge from the Army, I took up employment at Newport, Monmouthshire, for an annual salary of \u00a3309 and passed the remaining exams in 1947.\nReturning to civilian lifestyle was quite strange but I was fortunate with the support from my family and was well received in the department as my Chief Officer had been a serving officer in the First World War. Unfortunately, having passed my final examinations, I discovered that there was no vacancy for a qualified man in the County Borough of Newport. However, I was fortunate to find employment in Essex and was stationed at Colchester. My pay increased to \u00a3450 and I now had my first married home where my daughter Angela was born in 1949. In 1952, I moved to Wales, taking up a post in Swansea paying \u00a3525 annually and where, in 1955, my youngest child, Andrew, was born.\nMy career in Local Government progressed well and I ended up in 1974 in West Glamorgan as Chief Consumer Protection Officer. I was rewarded for my service to Local Government by being awarded an MBE in 1984.\nThroughout this period, I have retained individual contact with some of my former Army colleagues and their wives.

        "raw_content": "After yesterday\u2019s post on Mortgage-Backed Securities (click here), I felt that I should write something on the book that talks about the origination of the MBS (which, for the record, is a pun: Origination refers to the collection of mortgages and repackaging them as an MBS).\nMichael Lewis, before he became famous for writing books, was a bond trader with Salomon Brothers. And when I read this book, I realised the following:\nAt no point in my life do I want to sit at a trading desk;\nTraders look down on the Corporate Finance guys as being soft-core; and\nI\u2019m totally okay with being soft-core.\nBut apart from that little self-discovery, the most valuable realisation that came from this was just how new finance is. So much of the theory that we\u2019re lectured on in University gets confused with my impression of economics lectures: you think that this is all old-school well-covered territory. Well, it\u2019s not.\nIn this book, not only do they talk about Salomon Brothers traders coming up with MBS, they also make reference to the first call options being created. In the 1980s! Hectic.\nOther points I hadn\u2019t realised before:\nBond traders sound a lot like the Italian mafia.\nBond traders may actually have been Italian mafia.\nJohn Meriwether was heavily involved in the creation of Mortgage-Backed Securities. That\u2019s the same John Meriwether of LTCM fame \u2013 which was the Fed\u2019s bailout crisis of the late 1990s. That guy should be cast in bronze and placed next to the Wall Street bull.\nI\u2019ll be honest \u2013 the book is a bit slow at certain points, and the writing-style sometimes reminds me of the Godfather dialogue.\nBut worth it.\nThe Economic Schools: Gettin\u2019 Schooled\nBooks: Adapt\nBooks: The Zurich Axioms\nWhy would you never want to be a trader? Was asked that in an interview today and didn't have very compelling answers.\nMaybe I should read the book\u2026.\nJayson Coomer February 7, 2012 at 21:15\nHa ha \u2013 you must email me to tell me about the interview! My answer to that question would be along the following lines:\nI think that trading requires a certain type of personality. You need to have that gambling excitement; that willingness to make snap decisions; an ability to read market sentiment before the market is aware that it's feeling it. Just talking about it makes me tense. And even though some trading strategies can be quite technical, I still believe that active traders tend to go with their gut. And that just doesn't fit with my zen. I want to be involved in the process of unlocking value. Not hoping that I spot the unlocked value before anyone else \u2013 followed by hoping that everyone else spots it just after I've made my move. Maybe that's naive \u2013 but that's my gut speaking, ironically.\nWell, you see \u2013 I read this book. And I just knew.\nI'll have to go with the first response for the time being considering I haven't read the book!",

        "raw_content": "After spending time together in Canada, David Pino and Marien Dorleijn came back with a great album for the 'In A Cabin With Project'. The album with this one time group Tika was more than a simple addition of the qualities of both musicians. However making an album together is one thing. Playing it live on stage is different.\nTika at Paradiso Amsterdam, September 13 2011 (Ronald Says 7 out of 10)\nSince their album was recorded with the help of Canadian musicians they got members of both their own bands to help them out. And it is nicely divided between those bands. El Pino & The Volunteers' bass player Appie and Moss' drum player Finn Kruyning are completing the band on stage. They are only playing a handful of shows to support this occasion.\nThe show starts with the documentary around actor Carel Struycken and the song 'For Better Or For Worse'. The video doesn't play smoothly and it's not a good start. It will be characteristic for the entire show. Pino and Dorleijn take the stage and start playing. It's simply amazing how well their voices sound so good together. When Appie and Kruyning are joining them the harmonies are heavenly. Although the songs are great it doesn't really sound like a band. You can notice that they put this band together just for the occasion. It doesn't always sound tight and convincing, some things don't run smoothly and the musicians don't look like they are comfortable all time. Maybe they didn't have too much time either to prepare for it.\nOne can only hope that maybe this project will lead to more Tika music and that it will grow into something more steady in future. With a well prepared band this could turn into something great. They show that by stepping into the crowd in the last encore to play Fleetwood Mac's 'The Chain'. When they take the stage for a full blown climax to the song it's a great ending to a somewhat messy evening. But with these great musicians and fine songs it was a pleasure nevertheless.\nOfficial Website In A Cabin With\nLabels: alternative, live review, paradiso, tika",

        "raw_content": "Case Study \u2014 Autism\nJames had constant temper tantrums. He couldn\u2019t talk to his parents or say anything but \u201cba\u201d, which was James-speak for \u201capple\u201d. At 16 months old, James was not interested at all in his little brother. James didn\u2019t want anybody to touch him, and he wouldn\u2019t tolerate affection. Even playing with toys was a challenge; he would just stack blocks very high, over and over again.\nSimple outings with the family, to the grocery store, or to church were ultimately traumatic. In the grocery store James would start screaming, leaving Crystal, James\u2019 mother, not knowing what caused the upset. James was unable to communicate his basic needs or concerns. Crystal sought ways to help. James started speech therapy at 2 years old. She also started a gluten-free, dairy-free diet with him. Almost immediately there was a spark of relief. Twenty-four hours after removing dairy from James\u2019 diet he was able to finally kiss his mom. He connected a little more, and was somewhat calmer.\nJames was officially diagnosed with autism at age 2 1\u20442.\nCrystal read about Play therapy for children with autism. Play therapy is a technique which builds on a child\u2019s interests in order to develop relationships and communication skills. Crystal set up a playroom in her house using recommendations from the Play therapy methodology.\nPlay therapy worked well for James. He slowly started developing a desire to be with other people and started being able to express himself verbally. Play therapy focuses on relationships, not behavior. Most children with autism, including James, have a difficult time with relationships, and play therapy was a helpful solution.\nAround the same time that Crystal learned about Play therapy, she received a grant for Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy. ABA assesses the relationship between a specific behavior and the environment. The techniques for ABA can be utilized to change that behavior. ABA is the most common type of therapy for children with autism. It is a very structured approach using a system of demands and rewards. Crystal saw limited progress with James. It didn\u2019t feel like a good fit for the family. Eventually, the grant from ABA ran out, and she decided to end the treatment.\nAround 4 \u2013 4 1\u20442\nWhen James turned four Crystal began to homeschool him. He couldn\u2019t handle new information. He would throw things on the floor when being taught anything new or unfamiliar. He was very easily frustrated and upset. He was also a very picky eater; \u201cIt felt like WW III at the dinner table\u201d, proclaimed Crystal. She was desperate and willing to try anything.\nHomeopathic detox, which removed the toxic load from James, was attempted. There was little change in behavior. Crystal took James to a chiropractor for a weekly adjustment, with limited success.\nIn 2012 Crystal drove her family from Texas to California to start a new life in Camarillo. For the first 2 months in their new surroundings things went well.\nThen James started to regress behaviorally. One peaceful night out to dinner at a restaurant, for no apparent cause, James started kicking and screaming wildly. He couldn\u2019t communicate what his needs were and he was frustrated.\nExhausted and seemingly out of options, Crystal continued her search for someone to help. Determined that her son was to have access to a normal, happy, healthy life, she had no idea what to search for or where to start. She wanted something naturally holistic. After some research she learned about holistic chiropractors. Crystal read about a local holistic chiropractor and discovered Dr. Roth.\nDr. Roth offers the Neuro Modulation Technique (NMT) with strong evidence of its effectiveness for autism. NMT is best described as \u201cinformational medicine,\u201d because it works to identify and correct the informational source of illness \u2013 the confusion that can interrup t our innate healing mechanisms. \u201cThis was the missing piece!\u201d proclaimed Crystal. She watched a video testimonial of a little girl who went to see Dr. Roth for help with her allergies and thought, \u201cI\u2019ll take a shot.\u201d Crystal brought James to see Dr. Roth.\nInitially, James wouldn\u2019t even get on the table. Unable to communicate his discontent, James was throwing things because he was obviously upset.\nWith patience and persistence, eventually James took to Dr. Roth\u2019s care. By the time Crystal and James left the office, James was calm and at ease. He was expressing emotion and was generally happier. Crystal was delighted with the results and hopeful this was what she had been seeking for James. They continued seeing Dr. Roth.\nFor the first 2 months after the initial visit, James had appointments every week. Then the regularity was reduced to every other week for 4 months. Now James is seeing Dr. Roth only once a month.\nLife-Altering Success\nAfter receiving care from Dr. Roth, James started attending public school. He is now ahead academically and loves being with other kids. He is affectionate and empathetic. His ability to communicate what he is thinking and feeling is incredible. He is willing to try new things and is even eating new foods!\nBefore visiting Dr. Roth, James\u2019 ATEC (Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist) score by the Autism Research Institute was a 70. James is now a 3 and on his way to complete recovery.\nDr. Roth\u2019s practice of the NeuroModulation Technique altered the lives of 4 people: Crystal, Crystal\u2019s husband Joshua, James\u2019 brother Josiah, and James. Crystal now works with Dr. Roth at the Roth Wellness Center and is committed that other people with an autism diagnosis get the support they need.\nFor more information on how Dr. Roth uses the NeuroModulation Technique, click here.\nRead Dr. Roth's new eBook -- The Holistic Approach to Autism\nThe Holistic Approach to Autism was written by Dr. Roth to offer hope and practical help to anyone whose life has been touched by autism. Based on many years of experience working with children with autism in his own practice, Dr. Roth shares his insight into some of the many holistic alternatives available for helping these extraordinary children as well as their families and loved ones.\nThe Holistic Approach to Autism\nSchedule a Consultation with Dr. Roth",

        "title": "Raging Belle | Russell Roberts Music",
        "raw_content": "Raging Belle is a song about women looking after themselves. It\u2019s a song about women being independent and not requiring men to safe-guard their well-being.\nMy inspiration for the song came from my daughters, who, along with their girlfriends, were taking boxing classes at the local gym. I wanted to make a statement that encouraged them. I wanted them to know that I supported their endeavours to not only enhance their fitness and learn self-defence skills, but also to foster their belief in themselves. As a father, of course I want the best for my daughters. I want them to know that they are capable and able to live their lives to the fullest, that they are worthy of the right to make the most of their immense potential. My daughters, like all people, are precious. I don\u2019t want them to feel intimidated, derided, suppressed or repressed by a society that continues to allow many women to be disrespected and maltreated. The level of violence and abuse directed at women in our community is an indictment upon each and every one of us, it is a widespread chronic sickness that needs to be healed. To be subject to violence and abuse destroys who we are, it steals the innocence of children, damages them, sometimes irrevocably. The threat of violence is just as bad. We all have the right to be free of this scourge.\nWomen should be able to rely upon the community to protect their rights, but I\u2019d contend the community is failing them miserably. Given this situation, the more women who can be encouraged to take actions that will send out a clear message that they are not vulnerable to the violent wiles of others the better. The mindset that there is a hero who will save us, and that there are laws in our defence, has become redundant. We all must become heroes and uphold what we deem to be the laws by which we live. Women are capable of defending themselves, and their efforts to do so should be supported wholeheartedly. It may seem incongruous to support women\u2019s boxing, a blood sport, when our society is inflicted with so much violence. However, I\u2019d argue that the violence women are subjected to is largely a product of weakness, a consequence of an ill society that perpetrates domination against those perceived as the most vulnerable. Having all women being capable of fending for themselves against those who would subject them to violence and abuse is a strength our community could well do with. Every woman has the potential to develop her self-defence skills and sense of self through boxing. Every woman is a hero, not burdened with the belief that they need some white knight to protect them.\nThe Raging Belle video was filmed in the PCYC boxing gym in Broome, a town in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia. At first I considered featuring an up and coming female boxer, such as Elisha Buckley, Katie Taylor, Yanan Wang or Xiyan Zhang, as the video\u2019s main character. Fancifully I pondered setting my sights even higher, aiming for boxers who have already established substantial names for themselves, such as Holly Holm, Ira Menzer, Laila Ali or Jing Cheng. Availability and cost factors aside, I wasn\u2019t sure this is the way I wanted to go. There was a danger of reinforcing the hero myth, the star of the show being someone other than one\u2019s self. Besides, after checking out the local Life and Soul Fitness Club and the PCYC boxing shed, I was surprised to discover how many women were participating in boxing classes. There were women of all ages and backgrounds, women of diverse ethnic and cultural heritages. Some were at an elementary level, but others displayed skills that could only be attained through the hard work and discipline of serious training. I felt very encouraged, for Broome is a small town thousands of kilometers from any capital city. If Broome is a microcosm of the world, then women globally are participating in boxing to a huge extent.\nI wanted to capture this in the video clip for the Raging Belle song. There was no need for a Hollywood style approach, featuring as a role model a well known success story, preferably with the customary glamorous look. I wanted to portray what is happening at a grass-roots level, where the everyday woman is a role model for all women. I wanted this video to be real, as real as I believe the lyrics of the song to be. The participants in the video were chosen to illustrate that women of all ages, backgrounds and levels of skill development are working hard at altering the perception of women in our society. That a growing number of women are pulling on the gloves and embracing women\u2019s boxing suggests a social movement is well under way. Given the increasing popularity of women\u2019s boxing it is most timely that it has been included in the program for the 2012 London Olympic Games, and that nations such as the USA, China and England are investing substantially into this sport\u2019s development. These steps that women have taken to assert themselves as independent and capable individuals who can fend for themselves and heroically heal one of our society\u2019s gravest ills will be displayed on the highest stage. A clear message is being sent to our community at large. Those who choose to perpetrate violence and abuse against women would do well to take note.\nThis entry was posted on Thursday, July 22nd, 2010 at 4:20 pm\tand is filed under Russells Blog.

        "raw_content": "Tips on how to Organize a Garage Sale\nHas the home garage sale become an anachronistic method of getting rid of the accumulated junk that is ubiquitous around our homes? Indeed internet auction sites like Ebay make it possible for all of us to make money without having to go to too much bother. The answer to this question is; No. The home garage sale will always be part of our society and although it may not be as frequently seen as it once was, it is definitely never going to disappear. When do people usually hold one of these yard sales? You would be hard pressed to find a home sale in the middle of winter \u2013 no one wants to leave their house during the cold. The best time, albeit, most popular time for a garage sale is spring; right after spring cleaning. If you\u2019ve never had a garage sale, perhaps a few tips on how to organize a successful garage sale will come in handy.\nThe first thing is to spend a few days sorting out what you want to sell. Have your family members sift through their belongings; purging anything he or she doesn\u2019t want. Keep in mind that you\u2019re not going to sell anything for a good price, if it is in need of repair \u2013 this includes clothing. If, for example, you have an old alarm clock that you no longer need, make sure it still has its tick and tock. One of the most important garage sale tips is to make sure everything you sell is worth the asking price; you don\u2019t want to be accused of being a \u201crip off\u201d. The organization of a garage sale should be done thoroughly and for this reason it is always a great idea to organize and run it with friends or neighbors. This also allows you to split advertising costs and offer more to sell. Ask your friends and neighbors to sort through their own belongings and contribute to the sale. Having friends help will also allow you to take a break from time-to-time during the day.\nIt is very important to select an ideal weekend or day when you know you will be able to attract a large number of \u201cshoppers\u201d. This means having a garage sale in the middle of the week, is not wise \u2013 in fact it is plain dumb. The best days are the weekend days of Saturday and Sunday. People are, for the most part, off work and thus often do their weekly shopping on these two days. Once the weekend day or days are decided, select an area in front or next to your house to set up the business. Many ideas for organizing a garage sale guides or manuals, will recommend using your home garage and erecting wooden collapsible tables on which to place items. Keep items for sale in groups, is another fundamental point to remember. If you are selling tee-shirts, for example, keep them all together and accessible. I suppose keeping items together is an obvious thing to do, however, I mention it purely as a reminder.\nWhen listing item prices, make sure the price is easily displayed as well as easily read. If you have bad hand writing, consider getting someone with neat writing to write prices. Or, you could, make use of a computer and printer to create colorful price tags. Bear in mind however, that using a computer and printer, will be an added cost. Advertising is another one of the important garage sale tips. A couple of weeks prior to opening day; walk your neighborhood distributing flyers in mail-boxes is an easy way to get the neighbors drifting over to your house to see what is for sale. If your town or neighborhood has a local newspaper, perhaps you could take out a simple ad. Usually these small newspapers don\u2019t over-charge and often cover a large area. If you\u2019re a student, either high school or college, spreading the word around campus will have your friends and other class-mates stopping by. Painting signs or small billboards and taping them to trees or lamp-posts so that drivers are able to see and read carefully the date of you garage sale, is another method of advertising.\nYou are also going to need bags and other containers in which to wrap items after they\u2019re bought. With this in mind, start collecting grocery bags and other types of bags. If you\u2019re diligent, you\u2019ll be able to collect hundreds over the space of a few weeks. Whenever you mother goes to the supermarket and arrives home to begin stocking the cupboards and fridge, keep the empty grocery bag. If your father buys a newspaper every morning on his way to work, ask him to bring it home in the evening \u2013 you can wrap items in newspaper. In fact, save all kinds of wrap; you\u2019re going to need as much as you are able to lay your hands on.\nOn the day of your garage sale, make sure you wear some sort of pouch or fanny-pack around your waist. Having one of these bags will allow you to move about without fear of money dropping out from your pockets. When you need to give change, dipping into a pouch is so much easier than shoving your hand into the pocket of a pair of skin-tight Levis. If you do happen to enjoy wearing skin-tight jeans, consider wearing something loose \u2013 you\u2019ll be able to move about a lot easier. At the end of your one or two day garage sale, consider donating items not sold to a charity, a kindergarten or some other establishment that you think would make use of the items \u2013 remember donating isn\u2019t limited to money. For items that become broken, ripped or just dirty due to the garage sale throw those items out \u2013 you\u2019ll never sell them.\nYou can also check out other money saving tips like how to save money on house painting, how to save money on public storage or how to save money on house cleaning.\nThere are, no doubt, many other garage sale tips or tips on how to organize a successful garage sale and with a little research and patience, you\u2019ll be able to create the best sale your neighborhood has ever seen. It is clear, however, that garage sale organization and the ideas for organizing a garage sale, take a great deal of thought and imagination.

        "title": "How to Save on Home Improvements",
        "raw_content": "Posted by Ian on August-20-2011 under Save Money, Save Money on Home\nWe all remember the American classic sitcom from the 90s, \u201cHome Improvements\u201d. Each week the show\u2019s star, Tim Allen, would give us handy do-it-yourself hints on how to transform your house into a wonderful home. Although the show was a comedy, the message of do-it-yourself was reinforced and is, without a doubt, the best way to save on home improvements.\nThere is a feeling of accomplishment if you are able to make improvements on your home yourself; to stand back and admire one\u2019s handy work is always a treat. So, how does one go about being frugal with improvements to their home? The following are some ideas gleaned from various sources that will allow you to keep money in your pocket instead of in the deep pockets of a professional contractor.\nMake sure you visit a reputable home center to purchase any and all equipment needed. Don\u2019t go to a store that is not known or doesn\u2019t stock the very best in tools and accessories.\nFor the Internet auction savvy, go online and bid for the materials you need; you\u2019ll probably pick up some excellent home renovation materials at reason, if not cheap, prices.\nSalvage some of the cabinets, tables etc, that you intend to throw out. You may be able to sell these things on the aforementioned auction site. If you\u2019re looking to purchase cabinets, tables, etc, visiting a auction or scanning what is available on Craig\u2019s List, is another way of picking up a bargain.\nIf you do happen to hire a tradesperson to do the work, save money by preparing the work area; you may not be able to hammer a nail, but I\u2019m sure you can strip paint and do other rote work.\nFor those are they pretty good at flicking a paint brush back and forth; once the work is completed by a professional, save added costs on home improvements by doing the painting yourself.\nInstalling electrical items such as air conditioners, should be done in the early fall when the price for these necessary machines drops dramatically. This means that you should always consider the best time of year \u2013 from a financial prospective as well as climate prospective \u2013 before you start slapping paint, banging nails and ordering state-of-the-art air conditioning systems.\nShould you be one of these people that enjoys doing your own home repairs and renovations, but often need help with the job, make sure you asked someone with the same, or higher, level of skills that you yourself have. The last thing you want to do is ask a friend to help you who doesn\u2019t know the difference between a nail and a screw or a paint brush and a toothbrush. Don\u2019t over-work yourself.\nPlan your working day, so that you\u2019re not burnt out at the end of each day\u2019s work. Most home handymen and women, perform home repairs and changes during their vacation periods. Make sure you\u2019re not so tired that you can\u2019t enjoy your vacation at some point. In short, don\u2019t rush the job \u2013 you\u2019ll only make mistakes that could end up costing you more.\nYou can also check out other money saving tips like save money on house painting, save money on electricity bill and buying a house.\nThe above ideas are just a few of many other ways or methods in which to save a few bucks on home improvements. Visiting a home center is another way of gleaning ideas and pieces of advice. These stores have trained, skilled staff that will be of great assistance to you. You will not only save money, you\u2019ll learn a great deal also. Good luck and happy renovating.",

        "raw_content": "Today\u2019s investment environment in Ohio, especially in its major cities, is very strong. Investors \u2014 individuals, companies and firms \u2014 have a lot of cash and want to grow and they\u2019re looking for opportunities to put their money to work.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a big appetite for investments,\u201d says Michael Stevenson, managing partner at Clarus Partners. \u201cMaking the right pitch to the right people can make that money accessible.\u201d\nSmart Business spoke with Stevenson about raising capital at different stages of a company\u2019s life cycle.\nWhat are the most common reasons businesses and startups raise capital?\nEstablished businesses typically raise capital ahead of an expansion, when they\u2019re looking to buy a business, start a new service or launch a new product. There are also balance-sheet needs, for instance when a company wants to shore up its balance sheet for a potential sale, so it pays down its debt with capital. Established companies also use capital to diversify their ownership holdings, providing aging owners more latitude to put their money elsewhere while giving other investors an opportunity to buy in.\nOwners of startups often invest a lot of their own money into their fledgling company. As they grow, their working capital needs increase, but their money is tied up elsewhere, so they\u2019re in an illiquid position and they need outside capital to shore up their working capital and pay employees.\nWhat types of capital are being sought?\nExisting businesses are pinning their capital hopes to Small Business Administration or commercial loans. These are the top choices because existing businesses have the equity to back a line of credit or term loan. Their cash flow, or the increase in cash flow expected from the capital injection, gives the lender the confidence that the loan will be paid back within the term.\nFor startups, they\u2019re looking for angel investors, which typically want to invest in a company but don\u2019t want an ownership stake. Rather, they want 20 to 30 percent return in exchange for taking the risk.\nWho should businesses and startups seek advice from before raising capital?\nAccountants can put together a plan that accurately quantifies and identifies the company\u2019s capital needs, which is important because investors and banks need a number when looking to back a venture, and they need a rationale to commit.\nAn attorney can help the business as it builds and shapes its management team, which is important because banks and investors are throwing their money behind people, particularly people who they believe can manage the business to success.\nIt\u2019s also good to involve an attorney in the formation of the business plan. They\u2019re skilled at telling concise stories with information that\u2019s the most relevant to potential investors.\nHow do startups connect with investors?\nStartup owners need to go out into the community \u2014 via chambers of commerce and other economic development organizations \u2014 to make connections. They\u2019ve got to get out and tell their story to people in the community. It increases the chances that they\u2019ll meet an investor looking for an opportunity.\nWhat should startups keep in mind when pitching investors?\nWhatever the business thinks its capital needs are, double it. A startup doesn\u2019t want to be in a position, having received an investment, of having to go back to the investor and ask for more money. That hurts the business owner\u2019s credibility and makes it seem as if he or she doesn\u2019t have a complete understanding of the company\u2019s needs.\nAlso, investors want the business\u2019s story. The numbers are important, but revenue streams and markets change so rapidly that forecasts become useless. It\u2019s better to differentiate the business from others in the same space. Prepare a deck when raising capital to tell the story of the company.\nIt\u2019s really important to have a full and complete understanding of the business. Owners need to be able to answer investors\u2019 questions quickly and completely to prove that they understand the business and the marketplace in which it operates to convince finicky investors that the company is worth the risk.\nOpportunity zones have captured the attention of many. This program, developed under the federal tax reform, is a tax incentive to develop distressed areas. Investments are made through a qualified opportunity fund for the purpose of investing in these assets.\n\u201cThere\u2019s quite a bit of interest, seeing what\u2019s on the market, what it\u2019s going to cost and the projected benefits,\u201d says Jim Komos, tax partner-in-charge at Ciuni & Panichi, Inc. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to reawaken projects that didn\u2019t make economic sense before.\u201d\nSmart Business spoke with Komos about this innovative program, which is designed to promote development in economically distressed areas by delivering tax benefits to investors.\nHow are opportunity zones different from programs that have been tried before?\nTo create opportunity zones, states took census tracts with low property values and decided where they want to encourage development. It\u2019s broader in scope than prior programs. Empowerment zones or renewal communities might have picked 40 or 50 qualifying areas. More than 8,000 opportunity zones have been identified throughout the U.S. and its territories.\nThe program also isn\u2019t subject to as much bureaucracy as other programs, such as the earned income tax or new market tax credit. Opportunity zones are much simpler.\nWho benefits from opportunity zones?\nProperty owners and residents are one beneficiary. Property is worth more and residents may see their neighborhoods spruced up with new facilities or construction redevelopment. In some cases, business owners who have been wanting to move may now be in an opportunity zone. This program could open up the market.\nDevelopers and investors benefit in three ways:\n1. They can defer taxation on capital gains for up to 10 years if they invest in an opportunity zone. However, those gains must incur within six months of the investment. Many investors are looking at opportunities within the zones prior to incurring a gain \u2014 selling a property \u2014 and creating the related opportunity fund.\n2. If they stay in that fund for at least five years, 10 percent of that gain is eliminated. If they stay for seven years, another 5 percent is wiped off the books.\n3. If they have gains on their opportunity zone investment, it will not be taxed. For example, an investor buys a factory for $1 million, and then sells it for $2 million 10 years later. That $1 million appreciation will not be taxed.\nWhat restrictions could limit who can benefit from opportunity zones?\nAlong with making sure the opportunity fund application is filed by the developer, there are some investment restrictions. In most cases, 90 percent of the property, or the assets in that fund, have to be qualifying assets. There are different definitions of qualifying assets, whether it\u2019s an operating business or real estate. (Real estate is a little more restrictive.) Generally, investors need to be improving the property or bringing new business into the area.\nWhere are the opportunity zones in Northeast Ohio?\nBroadly, most of the downtown areas of major cities fall into the opportunity zones. That means much of downtown Cleveland, quite bit of downtown Akron, Youngstown, Warren, etc. But, surprisingly, there are other areas like around Warrensville Heights that also fall into an opportunity zone.

They should work with people who know what they\u2019re doing to ensure their investments will actually qualify for the exclusions and deferrals.\nIn addition, investors shouldn\u2019t overpay or get taken in by high fees. Too often, people are so excited about the tax benefits and deferring the tax, they don\u2019t realize they\u2019re paying too much for the property. Or, if they\u2019re investing through a developer, the developer takes too much for himself \u2014 rather than getting 20 percent of the upside, maybe he\u2019s taking 30 percent. So, investors must make sure, overall, it\u2019s a good economic investment.\nHow to ensure you\u2019re getting the most out of your accountant\nAccountants are often brought in to a business as an adviser to address issues that are too complex or outside the wheelhouse of the business owner or executives. But not all accountants are created equal.\nThere are signs business owners should be aware of that indicate an accountant isn\u2019t doing as much as he or she could to help move a business forward. And when those signs become apparent, it\u2019s time to part ways.\nSmart Business spoke with Kirk Trowbridge, CPA, director at Clarus Partners, about the signs a relationship with an accountant isn\u2019t working out, how to sever that relationship and what traits to look for in the next accountant.\nWhat should business owners consider as they look to evaluate the work their accountant is doing?\nA good place to start is to ask other service providers you currently have a good working relationship with and whose opinion you value if they could recommend an accountant.\nFor example, you could ask your attorney, banker or financial adviser for a list of potential accountants who they would recommend. You can then setup face-to-face meetings with the accountants on the list and determine if the person has the possibility to be a good fit to work with your organization. You can ask the accountants that you are interviewing for references from clients they currently service. It\u2019s a good idea to ask for references from their clients that are operating in similar businesses in terms of size and industry.\nWhat are some common signs that a relationship with an accountant isn\u2019t working?\nIf you cannot get your phone calls or emails returned in a timely manner, it is usually a sign that the accountant does not value you as a client.\nAnother sign is if you ask your accountant questions that are specific to your industry and they are not able to answer the question or at least get you an answer in an acceptable time frame. Not every accountant is going to know the answers to every question on the spot, but they should have the resources and ability to get you an answer.\nOnce it\u2019s determined that an accountant isn\u2019t right for an organization, how do you suggest the company end the relationship?\nIt depends on how long of a working relationship you have had with the accountant.\nIf you have been working together for a long time, a meeting to inform the accountant that your organization no longer fits them is a good idea. It\u2019s not necessary to give a lot of details about why you are making a change. It\u2019s a good idea that you put something in writing informing the accountant that you will no longer need their services as of a certain date. That way there can be no confusion on when the relationship ended.\nIf you have only been working together for a short period of time, informing the accountant in writing is fine, but putting a date as to when you will no longer need their services is recommended.\nHow can companies ensure their next accountant is a better fit?\nDo your due diligence. Interview more than just one accountant. Ask to meet other people in their firm. Ask to meet the other people that will be working on your account as well. Ask for an engagement in writing that specifies exactly what work the accountant will perform and the expectation of when that work will be completed. Know what the accountant expects of you as well. What information will you provide to them and in what manner? Make sure both sides know and are in agreement as to their role, and what is expected in this relationship.\nUsing the right accountant can be a big asset to your organization. The right accountant can both provide accurate and timely financial statements and tax returns, and can be a valuable part of your team and assist you in helping your organization be successful.\nAs the Wayfair decision takes hold, companies need to take action\nThe U.S. Supreme Court Case, South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., overturned the physical presence standard for sales tax that had been in place since 1992 in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, and replaced it with an economic standard.\nThe guidelines established by South Dakota\u2019s Supreme Court, which are anticipated to be adopted by states across the U.S., require out-of-state retailers to collect and remit sales tax if the retailer has delivered more than $100,000 of goods or services into South Dakota or engaged in more than 200 transactions for the delivery of goods or services to South Dakota. Companies that meet just one of the two guidelines have established nexus for state sales tax purposes.\nCurrently, there are more than 30 states that have enacted sales tax legislation similar to South Dakota\u2019s, though Ohio is not among them. It\u2019s expected that most of the remaining states will enact similar statutes.\nSmart Business spoke with Keri Boergert, a principal with Clark Schaefer Hackett CPAs & Advisors, about what businesses will need to do because of the Wayfair decision.\nHow does a business know whether it needs to comply with the laws coming out of the Wayfair decision?\nMany companies are interested in the case and are reaching out to law and accounting firms to understand the potential impact on their businesses. State and local tax experts can help companies perform an analysis to determine whether additional compliance is needed.\nOne of the first steps in determining whether the company faces additional compliance requirements is looking at the amount of sales and the volume of transactions the company has historically had in each state. Most states are following the guidance set forth in Wayfair.\nIn Wayfair, the court ensured that the obligation to remit sales tax would not be applied retroactively. Therefore, even though a company might review its sales and transaction footprint historically, the application should be applied prospectively according to each state\u2019s effective date.\nHow does this decision affect businesses?\nWayfair is causing significant compliance requirements for businesses that have never even set foot in a state. The number of sales tax returns could increase as more states adopt the new thresholds. This could change a company\u2019s tax filing burden from one home state to dozens of states.\nIt\u2019s a much different experience filing in one state versus 25. Every state has different filing requirements \u2014 annual, quarterly or monthly. This adds layers of compliance and tracking that might not have previously existed for a company.\nMany businesses may not even be equipped to deal with the changes and may have to consider special software that integrates with their accounting system to analyze transactions. Considering an outside state and local expert is the best course of action to provide software guidance and determine when to file.\nWhat are the consequences of not complying with new laws?\nIf a company has created sales tax nexus and therefore has a collection and filing responsibility and does not comply, the company will take on the risk for the sales tax liability. As with other state taxes, there is always a risk of examination by state agencies and if examined, the company will not only be liable for any potential tax due, but will also face penalties and interest. Depending on the magnitude of the potential exposure, the sales tax liability could put a business at serious risk.\nWhat else should businesses know about this decision?\nOnline retailers, distributors and remote sellers that traditionally may not have had a physical presence in a state will most likely be impacted. However, other industries, such as manufacturing, may be impacted because of increased collection and retention of exemption certificate responsibilities.\nThe move from a physical to an economic presence for sales tax collection is a sweeping change that has the potential to affect many businesses. Now is the time for companies to take a hard look at their business footprint and engage with experts to assess the potential impact.\nInsights Accounting is brought to you by Clark Schaefer Hackett\nBusiness entertainment tax deductions are gone: What you need to know\nBefore the federal tax overhaul, business meals and entertainment were generally deducted at 50 percent. Now, meals remain generally 50 percent deductible. Entertainment does not.\nThe changes are only to select expenses, but some companies were taking large deductions to entertain clients, which could impact their taxable income.\n\u201cThis affects everybody from a sole proprietorship to a large multinational company,\u201d says Melissa Knisely, CPA, Tax Department Senior Manager at Ciuni & Panichi, Inc. \u201cWe\u2019ve known about the changes and have made clients aware. The recent guidance has enabled us to clarify some of the previous unknowns.\u201d\nWhile this change under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was effective Jan. 1, 2018, the IRS recently provided some interim guidance while we wait for proposed regulations.\nSmart Business spoke with Knisely about what taxpayers need to consider with the revised meals and entertainment deduction, including interim guidance from the IRS.\nWhat exactly will need to be treated differently and what remains the same?\nThe two exceptions allowing entertainment to be deductible were repealed as of Jan. 1, 2018. So, all entertainment, amusement or recreation activities are now nondeductible. Theaters, clubs, lounges, tickets for sporting events, skyboxes, transportation to and from sporting events, cover charges, taxes, tips and parking for entertainment events would all be considered part of entertainment, amusement or recreation.\nThe TCJA clearly addressed entertainment, but meals were not specifically addressed. Recent interim guidance from the IRS did, however, provide some clarity. Business meals can continue to be deducted at 50 percent, provided they meet five qualifications:\n1. The expense is an ordinary and necessary business expense paid or incurred during the tax year when carrying on any trade or business.\n2. The expense is not lavish or extravagant.\n3. The taxpayer, or an employee of the taxpayer, is present when the food or beverages are furnished.\n4. The food and beverages are provided to a current or potential business customer, client, consultant or similar business contact.\n5. For food and beverages provided during or at an entertainment activity, they are purchased separately from the entertainment, or the cost of the food and beverages are stated separately from the cost of the entertainment on one or more bills, invoices or receipts.\nThis last point is particularly important. It means if the meal is part of the entertainment, such as a baseball game, taxpayers must pay for the entertainment separately. In cases where the food is included with the ticket to the game, the food would only be deductible if separately stated on the ticket or invoice.\nWhat are companies doing now to comply?\nIt\u2019s mostly a matter of understanding what\u2019s happening and then making sure it\u2019s being accounted for in such a way that it is easy to determine what is deductible for tax purposes and what is not.\nIn the past, businesses had one trial balance account for meals and entertainment. Now, they need to review their 2018 activity to ensure that food and beverage is stated separately, while recording invoices to two separate accounts \u2014 one to meals, one to entertainment.\nHow are calendar and fiscal year filers handling this differently?\nIf you have a business that is a calendar year-end filer, you\u2019ll follow the new rules for the entire 2018 calendar year. If you have a business that follows a fiscal year end, you\u2019ll follow the old rules for the portion of the year that falls in 2017 and you\u2019ll follow the new rules for the portion of the year that falls in 2018.\nWhat else is on the horizon for meals and entertainment deductions?\nCurrently, there\u2019s a 50 percent deduction for meals for employees\u2019 benefits, such as coffee, doughnuts, overtime meals or occasional group meals, as well as the expenses of an employer-operated eating facility. In 2026, if nothing changes, food at the office won\u2019t be deductible. This will be something companies should keep an eye on.\nBudgeting, forecasting for a business and how it impacts personal finances\nThe personal lives of business owners, especially those with smaller companies, are intertwined with their business as long as it\u2019s in existence. It\u2019s a means of support for family expenses and their lifestyle.\nGood budgeting and forecasting for business owners and their companies are critical to achieving the goals of each.\n\u201cA lot goes in to budgeting and forecasting, but when the business fiscal year ends, it\u2019s a brand new ball game. Questions need to be answered before it begins,\u201d says Michael Van Himbergen, CFP\u00ae, a financial advisor at Skoda Minotti.\n\u201cReview your financial situation and the financial situation of your business annually to make sure any obstacles \u2014 anticipated or otherwise \u2014 are handled before the end of the year so they don\u2019t become roadblocks.\u201d\nSmart Business spoke with Van Himbergen about what to include in annual financial reviews and why they\u2019re important.\nWhat are the major considerations business owners should make as they budget and forecast?\nEvery goal needs a timeline, whether short- or long-term. Consider inflationary factors \u2014 the longer the timeline to achieve the goal, the greater the impact of inflation \u2014 and establish a target rate of return for each goal.\nMake sure you\u2019re paying yourself first out of business revenue. Calculate that as an expense and build it into the budget every year.\nEstablish a retirement plan for yourself and your employees if you haven\u2019t already. There are a number of factors that determine what type of plan is best to implement, such as the number of employees, their average age, employer and/or employee contributions, to name a few.\nIf you want to cover college expenses for your children, the longer you wait, the more it costs. Families need to save $500 to $600 per month (per child) from the time their child is born to get them through four years of an in-state public university.\nHowever, take care of yourself first to make sure you\u2019re on track for retirement before funding for a child\u2019s education. Children will have their entire productive lives to pay back student loans. You can always help out down the road.\nAlso, don\u2019t forget to plan for weddings, big vacations and any other major purchases, accordingly. And it\u2019s always prudent to have three to six months of monthly living expenses to cover an emergency.\nHow frequently should business owners review their business and personal finances?\nEvery year. Is your plan doing what it\u2019s supposed to? Review the company 401(k) with employees. Is participation low? If so, determine the reason they\u2019re not participating and educate employees on the benefits of the plan.\nAlways review income projections. A cash flow analysis will show you whether income is stable or fluctuating.\nReview personal investments at least annually unless there are significant changes that would affect longer-term planning. If that\u2019s the case, talk to your financial advisor/accountant to determine how that life-altering event could affect your long-term financial goals.\nWhat, generally, are some ways to adjust to the new financial realities that follow a life-changing event?\nChanging jobs, death or disability, death or disability of a partner or a key employee, having children, getting married or divorced are common life-changing events. When these events happen, it\u2019s important to determine how they impact your financial plan.\nAny of these can affect cost of living, the level and type of insurance protection that\u2019s prudent, and how much money is available to save and spend. Regardless of what\u2019s happened, it\u2019s important to stick to a financial plan and make adjustments as needed, rather than stop saving altogether.\nUnexpected aside, define your goals to determine the level of risk that\u2019s prudent given your situation and the goal you\u2019re trying to obtain. Review your circumstances at least annually with your financial advisor, both in terms of what\u2019s going on in your life and in your finances, and you should have no trouble achieving your goals. \u25cf\nInsights Accounting is brought to you by Skoda Minotti.\nTips on identifying and reporting fraud in your organization\nFraud happens in businesses of all types, sizes and levels of sophistication. Though it can occur at any level of an organization, fraud more frequently happens at the management level or above. A 2014 report by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) found that 36 percent of those who committed fraud were mid-level managers. Most were male and 87 percent were first-time offenders.\n\u201cUpper-level employees are more likely to be entrusted with sensitive information and may be able to override controls,\u201d says J.W.Wilson, CPA, a partner in accounting and auditing services at Clarus Partners. \u201cHowever, having a profile of a common perpetrator isn\u2019t enough for an organization to stop fraud.\u201d\nSmart Business spoke with Wilson about fraud, its effect and what organizations can do to detect and mitigate it.\nWhat are the more common types of fraud and what can they cost an organization?\nThere are two categories of fraud that are most common: misappropriation of assets and misstatement of financial statements. Asset misappropriation is a scheme through which employees steal or misuse an organization\u2019s resources \u2014 for instance, false billing, inflated expense reports or outright theft of company cash. Misappropriation of assets is the most common, but it\u2019s the least costly, averaging around $130,000 per loss.\nFinancial statement fraud is a scheme through which employees intentionally cause a misstatement or omission of material information in the organization\u2019s financial statements. That could mean recording fictitious revenues, understating expenses or artificially inflating assets. Though financial statement fraud is the least common type of fraud, it\u2019s the most costly, averaging $1 million per loss.\nIn general, fraud costs businesses in the U.S. billions of dollars each year. Typical acts of fraud costs businesses between $10,000 and $500,000. But in addition to costing businesses money, fraud also hurts productivity and company morale. Fraud can damage the reputation and customer relationships of the business, which can take significant time and energy to repair.\nHow is fraud typically detected?\nMost often fraud is detected by an employee of the organization who then reports the fraud to someone internally.\nBecause staffers are most likely to identify and report fraud, it\u2019s a good idea to put in place a fraud hotline or reporting system. In making employees aware of the hotline, consider communicating to whistleblowers that they will be protected from any reprisal, and that they could earn a financial reward if they\u2019re willing and able to give useful information to law enforcement.\nWhat are internal control reviews?\nAn internal control review is an overall assessment of the internal control system and the adequacy of that system to address the risks of the organization. They can highlight weaknesses in a company\u2019s internal control structure or expose processes that could be strengthened to maximize efficiency. Detailed recommendations would be given to help mitigate risk or strengthen areas of identified weakness.\nMost often, a company\u2019s board, the owner or CFO requests internal control reviews. But it\u2019s a good idea to perform a review every three to five years or more often if there is significant change in the company.\nWhat should companies do once they have the results of their internal control review?\nManagement should work to implement the recommendations pulled from the findings of the internal control review and ensure that they are in place. Going forward, management should regularly communicate reminders of policies and procedures to the company, and periodically review the procedures and check that they are consistently being followed.\nResearch by the ACFE indicates that the typical organization loses 5 percent of revenues each year to fraud. While that 5 percent is certainly a chilling average, consider that the median losses from fraud for businesses with less than 100 employees are around $147,000. A loss of that size could be devastating for a midsize business.\nCompanies should understand that fraud could happen anywhere. Strong internal control policies and procedures are the best way to help minimize this risk.\nOversight is needed to mitigate occupational fraud\nBusiness owners, board members and other key stakeholders should give more consideration to what their organization is doing to prevent fraud, says Laurie A. Gatten, CPA, CFE, a director at Barnes Wendling CPAs.\n\u201cIt\u2019s concerning when I begin initial discussions with owners or other key stakeholders regarding internal controls, and when I ask them how they identify risks of fraud and what measures are put into place to mitigate those risks, the answer returned is, \u2018That\u2019s why you\u2019re here as our auditor,\u2019\u201d she says.\nSmart Business spoke with Gatten about occupational fraud and the internal controls that can mitigate it.\nWhat is occupational fraud and what forms does it typically take?\nOccupational fraud is the use of one\u2019s occupation for personal enrichment through the deliberate misuse or misapplication of an organization\u2019s resources or assets. It can be as simple as theft of company supplies or as complex as sophisticated financial statement fraud or corruption.\nAsset misappropriation, corruption, and financial statement fraud are three types of occupational fraud. Asset misappropriation is by far the most common, but the least costly with a median loss of $114,000. The least common type of scheme, but most costly, is financial statement fraud with a median loss of $800,000.\nWhat are the signs that fraud is occurring?\nIn most cases, fraudsters display at least one behavioral red flag and sometimes they exhibit multiple red flags.\nThe six most common red flags are:\n\u25a0 Living beyond their means.\n\u25a0 Financial difficulties.\n\u25a0 Unusually close association with vendors or customers.\n\u25a0 Control issues and an unwillingness to share duties.\n\u25a0 Divorce or family problems.\n\u25a0 A \u2018wheeler-dealer\u2019 attitude.\nThe leading detection methods are tips from employees or others, internal audit, and management review and oversight. More than half of all tips are provided by employees, but tips can also come from people outside of the organization, such as customers, vendors, and competitors.\nWhat should happen once fraud is detected?\nOnce fraud is suspected or determined to have occurred, the perpetrator should be immediately removed from his or her position. The company should consult legal counsel and a certified fraud examiner. The attorney will assist on human resource and other legal matters, while the certified fraud examiner can quantify the losses, present investigation findings, and assist in developing proper controls to deter future fraud.\nWhat steps can companies take to mitigate occupational fraud?\nThe first step an organization should take is actually implementing a fraud mitigation strategy. It\u2019s really important for everyone to understand that management is responsible for implementing a sound internal control structure. While having an external audit is one way to measure a certain amount of effectiveness of a fraud mitigation strategy, the auditors cannot be part of a company\u2019s internal control structure.\nHow can an organization test its fraud mitigation strategy to ensure it\u2019s effective?\nThe best way to test the effectiveness of a fraud mitigation strategy is to have an ongoing monitoring process in place to evaluate it.\nThere are several measures to incorporate into a monitoring process, but most important are:\n\u25a0 Establishing a third-party hotline where suspicious activity can be reported without reprisal. Ensure all employees are aware it exists and know how to access it.\n\u25a0 Communicating anti-kickback policies to vendors, customers, and other outside parties.\n\u25a0 Jobs rotations, mandatory vacations, and determining if proper segregation of duties is in place.\nEveryone in an organization is busy and it is easy to let certain internal controls go by the wayside. Continuous monitoring is key to ensuring the internal controls structure remains strong and is effective. \u25cf\nInsights Accounting is brought to you by Barnes Wendling CPAs",

        "raw_content": "Funds to Compensate Victims of Mesothelioma and Asbestos Related Cancers\nFiled Under: Civil Law, General Law Tagged With: asbestos, attorney, lawyer, lung cancer, mesothelioma, victim compensation\nThere are tremendous numbers of ads from mesothelioma lawyer and attorneys across all media publicizing compensation for victims of mesothelioma and other asbestos related cancers and diseases. There have been over 50 funds established for people who have become ill as a result of long ago asbestos exposure. The most detailed explanation of the history and compensation process for people afflicted by mesothelioma is found in a report by the US Government Account Office: Injury Attorney \u2013 The Role and Administration of Asbestos Trusts, GAO-11-819\nThe following is a summary of the report. The entire report is available here.\nSummary of GAO-11-819 ASBESTOS INJURY COMPENSATION\nAsbestos litigation arose out of millions of Americans\u2019 lengthy occupational exposure to asbestos which is linked to malignant and nonmalignant diseases. To date, about 100 companies have declared bankruptcy at least partially due to asbestos-related liability. In accordance with Chapter 11 and 524(g) of the federal bankruptcy code, a company may transfer its liabilities and certain assets to an asbestos personal injury trust, which is then responsible for compensating present and future claimants. Since 1988, 60 trusts have been established to pay claims with about $37 billion in total assets. GAO was asked to examine asbestos trusts set up pursuant to 524(g). This report addresses: (1) How much asbestos trusts have paid in claims and how trusts are administered, (2) How trust claim and payment information is made available to outside parties, and (3) Stakeholder\u2013plaintiff and defense attorneys, trust officials, and other interested parties\u2013views on whether more trust and claimant information should be made available to outside parties and efforts to change the trust system and processes. GAO analyzed trust agreements for 44 of 60 trusts and trust distribution procedures for 52 of 60 trusts, as well as financial reports for 47 of 60 trusts for 2009 and 2010. GAO also interviewed U.S. Bankruptcy Court judges and the trustees, general counsels, or directors from 11 trusts.\n$17.5 Billion Paid for Asbestos Disease Claims Over 12 Year Period\nFrom 1988 through 2010, GAO\u2019s analysis of available trust payment data show that trusts have paid about 3.3 million claims valued at about $17.5 billion and that each trust has trust distribution procedures (TDP) that govern its administration and establish the process for assessing and paying claims. Typically, TDPs include sections related to the intake and evaluation of claims, payment processes, and audit programs. Claims that meet the TDP\u2019s criteria for a particular disease are paid in the amount specified in the TDP. Most asbestos trusts we reviewed publish for public review annual financial reports and generally include total number of claims received and paid. Other information in the possession of a trust, such as an individual\u2019s exposure to asbestos, is generally not available to outside parties but may be obtained, for example, in the course of litigation pursuant to a court-ordered subpoena.\nConfidentiality Protections for Victims\nThe 44 trust agreements GAO reviewed all required that trusts submit annual financial reports to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of jurisdiction. Although TDPs typically provide that the trusts will make claim and payment information available to claimants and other parties, each trust ultimately determines what information it will make available. Of the 47 trust annual financial reports for 2009 and 2010 that GAO reviewed, all included the total amount of payments made and most included the total number of claims received and paid. One trust\u2019s financial report contained claimant names and amounts paid to these individuals. Of the 52 trust TDPs GAO reviewed, 33 (64 percent) included sections related to protecting the confidentiality of claimants\u2019 information and these sections often state that the trusts will only disclose information to outside parties with permission of the claimant or in response to a valid subpoena.\nViews differ on whether more trust and claimant information should be made available and there have been efforts to change the trust system. Plaintiff attorneys and trusts oppose proposals that would require additional disclosure of claimant information, such as amounts paid to individual claimants, stating that such information is available to the defense through subpoenas and that disclosure otherwise could compromise the confidentiality of claimants\u2019 private information. Defense attorneys support additional disclosure, stating that such information could be used to offset asbestos defendants\u2019 settlements in court and reduce fraudulent claims. In recent years, there have been various proposals to require additional disclosure of claimant information. One of these proposals was recently brought before the Judicial Conference of the United States, the primary policy making body of the U.S. courts. In commenting on a draft copy of this report, the Department of Justice and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts provided technical clarifications, which GAO incorporated where appropriate.\n(Download Full Report Here)\n[\u2026] Funds to Compensate Victims of Mesothelioma and Asbestos Related Cancers [\u2026]",

        "raw_content": "But by the grace of God I am what I am:\nand his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain;\nbut I laboured more abundantly than they all:\nyet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.\nA party spirit had developed in the church at Corinth that grieved Paul. \u201cNow this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ\u201d (1 Corinthians 1:12). The church was divided into different factions that touted their favorite preacher. They cried up the passion of Paul, the eloquence of Apollos, or the boldness of Peter. They pitted Paul against Apollos and Peter against Paul. Paul wrote to rebuke them for their carnality. \u201cFor while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?\u201d (1 Corinthians 3:4). None of these preachers strove for preeminence over the other, so why should the church argue over the greatest?\nIn our text, Paul speaks about his own case. \u201cBut by the grace of God I am what I am.\u201d Paul readily owned that Apollos was a great preacher. Luke said of Apollos, \u201cAnd a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John\u201d (Acts 18:24-25). Apollos was a very able speaker. He had a great command of the scriptures. He was diligent and passionate in preaching. After Aquila and Priscilla helped to complete his knowledge, \u201che mightily convinced the Jews.\u201d I believe that Paul rejoiced in Apollos and the fact that he used his great gifts in the service of the Lord.\nHowever, Paul states, \u201cBut by the grace of God I am what I am.\u201d Apollos was many things but Paul says, \u201cI am not him.\u201d Paul said, \u201cMy preaching was not with enticing words.\u201d (1 Corinthians 2:4). He admits that his own speech was rough and plain. He was not the polished preacher that Apollos was, but his preaching was \u201cin demonstration of the Spirit and of power\u201d (1 Corinthians 2:4). It would be a mockery to try to imitate Apollos. Paul says, \u201cI am what I am.\u201d\nNo doubt, Paul would commend the ministry of Peter. Peter had companied with the Lord during His earthly ministry. He was drawn into an inner circle of fellowship with Jesus along with James and John. Peter could be fiery and wax bold in preaching. He possessed a great ability in the ministry. Paul would rejoice in these things and would not seek to copy Peter. Paul says, \u201cI am what I am.\u201d\nPaul condemned the over-comparison that led to division. Each minister has his own work. \u201cI have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase\u201d (1 Corinthians 3:6). Often one man enters into the labors of another \u201creaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed\u201d (Matthew 25:24). It is foolish to heap praise on the laborers and set them up as some great one. \u201cSo then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase\u201d (1 Corinthians 3:7). Paul\u2019s goal was to exalt Christ not Paul. All true preachers want Christ to be exalted and lament if they themselves are lifted up. They say with the Baptist, \u201cHe must increase, but I must decrease\u201d (John 3:30).\nAs every one has his own work, every one has his own gifts to suit his work. \u201cIf any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ\u201d (1 Peter 4:11). Paul could not use the eloquence of Apollos or the boldness of Peter. He recognized \u201cBut all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will\u201d (1 Corinthians 12:11). Every one has their own gifts of the Lord. Paul said, \u201cBut by the grace of God I am what I am.\u201d\nIn the last place, we see that Paul did not seek credit for all his labors. Paul states the facts saying, \u201cI laboured more abundantly than they all.\u201d He is not bragging, just stating the truth. However, Paul does not glory in himself. He says, \u201cYet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.\u201d Paul rejoices in the grace of God.\nBut for the grace of God, where would you be today? You and I might be the worst lot of sinners the world has ever known, but for the grace of God. Instead of seeking to do His will and glorify Christ with our lives, we could be serving the flesh and wasting our substance with riotous living. Praise God! Who saved me and washed me from my sins in Jesus\u2019 blood! What do you know of the grace of God at this hour? Flee from the wrath to come and seek to lay hold of Christ through faith!\nPosted by Jeff Short on Wednesday, May 7, 2008 \u00b7 Leave a Comment\nFiled under 1 Corinthians, Devotions \u00b7 Tagged with 1 Corinthians, Devotions, Ministry, Short Thoughts",

        "raw_content": "Home / 2016 NASCAR season / Brad Keselowski / Charlotte Motor Speedway / Chase Elliott / Coca-Cola 600 / Daniel Suarez / five questions / Kristen Schneider / Kyle Larson / Martin Truex Jr. / Leave Their Mark: Five Questions for Charlotte\nLeave Their Mark: Five Questions for Charlotte\nIt\u2019s Memorial Day weekend, and in NASCAR, that means one thing \u2013 the Coca-Cola 600 is upon us.\nAfter an interesting Sprint All-Star Race, we don\u2019t know what to expect on Sunday night. The latest aero adjustments will be put to the test as late day transitions into night. The teams will fight to hoist Charlotte Motor Speedway\u2019s iconic trophy and leave their mark.\nHowever, this weekend isn\u2019t solely about racing and history; it extends beyond the sport\u2019s longest race and those in the driver seats. It\u2019s about those who fought for our country and paid the ultimate price. Their sacrifice doesn\u2019t go unnoticed, especially by those racing this weekend. The various paint schemes honoring the fallen are a sign of respect. They're also a reminder that freedom isn\u2019t free.\nThat thought, along with these five questions, are on my mind as we prepare to take on 600 miles.\nCan we really blame Keselowski for the All-Star mishap? This week, many fans were still confused about what happened last Saturday night. Some of the media members were in the same boat. \u201cSend angry comments Brad Keselowski\u2019s way,\u201d everyone said. When the format was announced, Dale Earnhardt Jr. outed the 2012 Sprint Cup champion as its creator, and now people are blaming him for the Sprint All-Star Race\u2019s convoluted execution. However, this criticism is misdirected. Although there are some elements of the format that need simplifying, Keselowski\u2019s idea has some great points. The way it was presented? Not so much. NASCAR wasn\u2019t prepared for both Matt Kenseth\u2019s \u201cmistake\u201d and Jamie McMurray\u2019s caution near the end of the first segment, and the sanctioning body certainly wasn\u2019t ready when the two incidents occurred together. That is NASCAR\u2019s fault. If McMurray\u2019s caution didn\u2019t happen, nobody would be upset with how the race turned out.\nThe other part of this deal is the concept \u2013 and the lack of interception. Many drivers \u2013 most notably Denny Hamlin \u2013 were vocal about the format\u2019s flaws after the race. If so many objected to it, why did it go through? The Driver Council was part of the decision-making process and was tasked with communicating an idea. That\u2019s why the Driver Council exists. That\u2019s also why they have a massive group text, to flesh out any details after hours. Either nobody expressed their thoughts, or nobody listened. Whatever the reason, Keselowski shouldn\u2019t shoulder all the blame. NASCAR and fellow drivers are also responsible. Hopefully, they get the kinks ironed out by next year\u2019s All-Star event.\nWhich XFINITY regular has the best chance of outrunning Hamlin and Logano? Two heavy hitters are entered in Saturday\u2019s XFINITY Series race, but Kyle Busch isn\u2019t one of them. Hamlin will pilot the No. 18 while Joey Logano drives the No. 22 for Team Penske. The void created by Busch could be filled by these two, but this is still an opportunity for series regulars to visit Victory Lane. Erik Jones and Elliott Sadler have punched their Chase tickets, and both can pressure Hamlin and Logano this weekend. However, the one to keep an eye on is Daniel Suarez. There\u2019s no \u201cSophomore slump\u201d coming out of the No. 19 camp. He\u2019s collected four top fives and eight top 10s in 2016, half of what he accumulated throughout 2015. Everyone knows who he is, as they should. Suarez\u2019s tough and effective driving style puts him in his competitor\u2019s crosshairs. With Joe Gibbs Racing equipment, he\u2019s an even bigger threat. A win has eluded him thus far, but that won\u2019t last for long. He\u2019s the one to watch going into Charlotte this weekend.\nCan Larson keep eyes on him? It\u2019s no surprise that everyone is focused on Kyle Larson. After collecting two top fives and three top 10s in 2016, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver dazzled in the Sprint Showdown and All-Star Race. His risky moves left everyone awestruck and impressed. Now, as we head into one of the biggest races of the season, can he build upon those exhibition finishes? It\u2019s definitely not out of the question because the No. 42 team is hot right now, and many are taking notice. This new downforce package suits Larson\u2019s style, and his competitors need to watch out. He should perform very well this weekend and show everyone his All-Star finish wasn\u2019t even close to a fluke.\nWill Sunday\u2019s quality of racing be a disappointment or a breath of fresh air? As previously mentioned, Saturday\u2019s racing was good. Like, really good. The adjustments to remove downforce and side-force worked, but will they change Sunday\u2019s action? Not drastically \u2013 because the rear toe adjustment won\u2019t be in effect. This will make the cars handle better, a positive for drivers. However, that translates into less action for the fans. When drivers can\u2019t get in sync with their cars, it makes for struggles that add entertainment value. Despite this, the Coca-Cola 600 has potential to be epic. The other changes \u2013 mounted truck trailing arms and a set number of cooling fans \u2013 will take away downforce and side-force as well, which will influence the racing. I\u2019m very optimistic for Sunday night, yet it won\u2019t exactly be like the All-Star action \u2013 and that\u2019s OK.\nWho makes history? As one of NASCAR\u2019s biggest races, the Coca-Cola 600 is a huge deal to drivers, crews and fans. It marks the ultimate test of stamina and focus. Teams must manage tires and tempers to have a shot at entering the history books. Who puts their name in it this year? It\u2019s hard to narrow it down to a single choice. Many of these drivers have won a Coca-Cola 600 before, and the others can make a strong run. Despite the surprises 600 miles can hold, a driver who did well in last year\u2019s event stands out \u2013 and his equipment is even better this season. Martin Truex, Jr. led 131 laps in the 2015 Coca-Cola 600 but couldn\u2019t seal the deal for him and his No. 78 Furniture Row Racing team. Some say he has bad luck, and others say he has a habit of choking. Either way, it ends with him not being in Victory Lane. This year, he has the ability to be different, because as a Joe Gibbs Racing satellite team, the No. 78 carries some of the best engines in the garage. The extra power puts them on a whole new level. Last season, Truex pulled off a win without the JGR boost. He starts on the pole for Sunday night's 600, and he's my pick to win.\nOf course, someone could come out of the shadows and prove me wrong \u2013 so I\u2019m choosing a dark horse, and it is Chase Elliott. You probably wouldn\u2019t consider him a \u201cdark horse,\u201d per say, but that\u2019s what I\u2019m calling him. That No. 24 car makes gains every weekend, and his performance in the Sprint Showdown says he is comfortable wheeling it around Charlotte. Many drivers \u2013 including his predecessor, Jeff Gordon \u2013 can say their first Cup victory was the Coca-Cola 600. If things go his way Sunday night, Elliott may say that as well. I expect both Truex Jr. and Elliott to do well \u2013 and have a chance to leave their mark.\nLeave Their Mark: Five Questions for Charlotte Reviewed by Kristen Schneider on Friday, May 27, 2016 Rating: 5\nTags 2016 NASCAR season X Brad Keselowski X Charlotte Motor Speedway X Chase Elliott X Coca-Cola 600 X Daniel Suarez X five questions X Kristen Schneider X Kyle Larson X Martin Truex Jr.\nTo show the movement and operation of sophisticated machinery metal aesthetic replica watches full hollow self jazz movement gives full hollow gentleman temperament and Zoran watch confident demeanor, elegant ladies replica watches sale and a different kind of charm.

        "raw_content": "Home Nation NASS Invasion: Saraki Praises Osinbajo, Says He Is Ready To Resign (Full...\nNASS Invasion: Saraki Praises Osinbajo, Says He Is Ready To Resign (Full Speech)\nThe President of the Senate Dr Bukola Saraki has commended acting President Yemi Osinbajo for the firm decision taken to punish those who invaded the National Assembly on Tuesday by sacking the DG of DSS.\nThis is even as he referred to those who orchestrated the siege on the National Assembly as cowards.\nSaraki condemned the act stressing that it was an attack on democracy and an attack on Nigeria as a whole.\nSaraki stressed that he as well as his deputy and the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara are willing to resign the day that two thirds of the members of each of the chambers lose confidence in them.\nRead the Full Text of the briefing by Saraki\nSTATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE AND SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AT A WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE HELD AT THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY COMPLEX ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 8, 2018.\n1. It is a matter of record that yesterday, lawmakers and staff of the National Assembly were prevented from entering the National Assembly Complex by heavily armed security agents of the Department of State Services (DSS). All entries to the Complex were blocked as early as 6.30 am. The National Assembly, the seat of democracy in Nigeria, was under lockdown. Senators and Members of the House of Representatives were prevented from gaining access.\n2. The ensuring standoff was a show of shame that played itself out over several hours in full view of the country. In no circumstances should this have happened. And we as a nation reaped the bitter fruits instantaneously, as evident in media images relayed around the world, images that shame us as a democratic nation. The siege was also an act of cowardice by those seeking to carry out an illegal impeachment of the leadership of the Senate in flagrant disregard of the law. People who seek control at all costs, by whatever means, never minding the injury to democratic norms.\n3. We have to say that this is not about us \u2013 Abubakar Bukola Saraki or Yakubu Dogara as an individual. It is not about Ike Ekweremadu, nor is it about Yusuf Lasun. We are speaking for my colleagues when I say that this is about the soul of Nigeria, what we represent as a country, (people) and our standing in the comity of nations. This is a country where so much is expected of us, so many rungs of the ladder that we are supposed to have ascended as a nation. Instead we are wallowing in impunity and illegal show of force, all of which retard our progress.\n4. This is most disheartening. We don\u2019t get any joy in saying: We said so. We don\u2019t. However, some of you may recall that about two years ago, I stated that there was a government within this government, to a purpose that was not in the interest of what the people voted for. I said it then, and now, almost on a daily basis, we are seeing the manifestations of that government within a government. It beats one\u2019s imagination how the head of a security agency could have authorized the brazen assault on the legislature that we saw yesterday. Only recently we saw in Benue how 8 members of the 30 members of State House of Assembly with the collaboration of security forces, DSS and police tried ot impeach the Governor. Despite the threat to our lives, we shall continue to fight impunity and injustice in this country.\n5. Happily, by the actions that Nigerians took yesterday, they demonstrated our strong resolve as a nation not to give ground to oppression. The legislature, more than any other institution in this country, more than any other arm of government, represents the will of the people. We are elected by the people, and an assault on the legislature is an assault on the people of Nigeria. The forcible shutdown of the legislature was an unconscionable assault on a national institution, and thanks to all your efforts, the aggressors have been put to shame.\n6. The resistance mounted by staff of the National Assembly, our colleagues in both chambers and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) who refused to leave the entrance of this Complex until the siege was broken, strengthens our faith in the people of this country. The rain fell, the sun rose, but Nigerians stood their ground in defence of democracy. With the strength of will demonstrated by everyone against unwarranted and unconstitutional militaristic might, the siege could not stand.\n7. By this, we have shown that Nigerians can resist government within government in whatever guise, and this is humbling for us. Those who sought to defend the attack on the National Assembly under our leadership for their selfish ends have further affirmed our belief in this country. They attempted to execute an illegal impeachment of the leadership of the Senate without the backing of the law, but they faltered. We are confident that, together, we shall always defeat acts of unconstitutionality. The rule of law shall always prevail.\n8. We want to thank Nigerians, Senators, Members of the House of Representatives and National Assembly Staff, for standing up to be counted for democracy during yesterday\u2019s siege. We thank the thousands who monitored the situation on radio, television and social media, voicing their outrage at the siege, thereby sending a clear message to those that hatched the plot that the Nigerian public would not buy this act of gangsterism using instruments of state such as the DSS.\n9. We also thank the international community \u2013 particularly the European Union that visited the complex \u2013 and the international press, for their prompt reactions to the invasion of the National Assembly. CSOs and Socio-cultural groups were emphatic in their statements during the crisis, and we very much appreciate their vigilance.\n10. Among the many that come up for special mention, we believe that Honourable Boma Goodhead, a member of the House of Representatives, stands out. She looked a masked security operative in the eye and dared him to shoot. She let it be known that Nigerians would not stand for the barricade at the National Assembly, that we would not be cowed. It was another pointer to what is possible in this country when women take their place in leadership.\n11. We applaud all who kicked against the atrocity and who stood firm until sanity prevailed. We are proud of how everyone conducted themselves in what was no doubt a tense standoff. The principled stance and defiant reactions to the ugly incident, proved crucial to the failure of the plot. This is what we have been saying about the power of the people. The role of the people in defending democracy is paramount.\n12. We thank the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, for his handling of the situation we were all confronted with yesterday. His decisive action went a long way towards restoring confidence and the image of our country. It sent a powerful message \u2013 that the DSS cannot be recklessly deployed against institutions of our democracy. The path of leadership is not by party, and we must commend it wherever it is found. Mr. Acting President did the right thing. However, the damage control so far does not address the question of how this invasion was allowed to happen in the first place.\n13. This is an incident concerning which we have it on good authority that it has been in the planning for months. How is it that such an atrocity was not prevented? How is it that the masterminds were not deterred? Very serious questions remain that can only be answered by a full investigation. We call for an investigation, and we demand that all perpetrators are brought to book. We owe it to ourselves to ensure that such a situation never occurs again. Many agencies have abused their powers and acted outside the ambit of the law on occasion. Where abuses occur, similar actions must be taken immediately and full investigation instituted.\n14. We must say that when we fought for Change, we could not have envisaged a scenario such as unfolded yesterday \u2013 an atmosphere where people cannot tolerate dissent, or mere differences of opinion as to the future of our dear country. This is not the Change we fought for. We did not fight for instruments of state to be used to oppress Nigerians and their lawmakers. We know that we, certainly, did not fight just so the legislature could be undermined and subjected to this onslaught.\n15. There are many lessons to be drawn from the ugly incident we all witnessed yesterday. For one, government must ensure that security agencies remain neutral and act in line with the position of the constitution as well as their enabling laws. Heads of Agencies should be accountable, and those who step out of line must be held responsible for their actions. Enough with impunity. Enough with the reckless and senseless deployment of militaristic force. Enough.\n16. In this dark cloud, we can see the silver lining, and that silver lining is the commitment of Nigerians to defending their hard-won democracy. We are more than encouraged by the strength, the determination and the resolve of ordinary Nigerians to see to it that democracy survives and thrives in this country. We are also strengthened by the determination of the media to report and analyse the truth as they see it.\n17. We want to reassure Nigerians that, on our part, we remain committed to working for a country governed by the rule of law. Our desire is to have a society where there will be equity and justice, not oppression. We stand committed to doing our utmost as lawmakers to ensure that the responsibility and functionality of governance are met. Although we are on annual break, we are daily reviewing the situation and are alive to the responsibility to take action as necessary. Unfortunately, yesterday\u2019s shutdown prevented us from meeting with INEC, as scheduled, to address their request. We will continue to do all to ensure a smooth and successful 2019 election. In the spirit of that we also appeal to Mr. President to sign the new 2018 Electoral Act Amendment Bill in line with his recommendations, which has been sent for his assent.\n18. We remain confident in the support of my colleagues and their focus on the job at hand, which is to serve the Nigerian people. My confidence is unshaken. We remain committed to the success of the historic 8th National Assembly, and to the continued progress of our country.\n19. In closing, let me reiterate that neither myself, Deputy Senate President or Speaker belong to the class of politicians that are desperate to stay in power by al means and at all costs. The day, two thirds of our members feel they do not have confidence in our leadership, we will gracefully bow out. I repeat again and again, this is not about us, but about respecting the constitution and the rule of law.\nPrevious articleMore Facts Emerge Following Sack Of DSS Boss By Osinbajo\nNext articleEx minister destroys boreholes he built after he lost an election, says he is hurt they should get water elsewhere",

        "title": "Peter Harrison: A new understanding of evolution and faith relationship",
        "raw_content": "venerd\u00ec 15 febbraio 2019 ..:: Interviews \u00bb Peter Harrison: A new understanding of evolution ::.. Login\nCould you describe us the history, the reasons and the targets of the Ian Ramsey Center ?\nThe Centre was founded in 1985 for the study of religious beliefs in relation to the sciences and medicine. It is a centre of the Theology Faculty in the University of Oxford. The Centre was named after Ian Ramsey, an Oxford Professor of the Philosophy of Religion and later Bishop of Durham, and who had interest in science, religion and medicine. The Centre runs a seminar programme, hosts an annual international conference, and is home to a number of research projects on science and religion.\nWhich have been more relevant activities, related to a more clear definition of science and faith relationship ?\nOne of the key annual events is the Centre\u2019s international conference that brings together scientists, theologians, historians and philosophers to discuss key issues in the field. Our 2009 conference, for example, was devoted to the theme of religious responses to Darwin. We had many lively and thought-provoking exchanges on the religious implications of Darwinian thinking. While the conferences tend to be oriented towards academics, our public seminar series seeks to bring to the wider public some of the distilled conclusions of the academic discussion.\nCould you talk us about next activities, particularly next Conference God and Physics ?\nContemporary physics and cosmology have been particularly fruitful areas for the contemporary dialogue between science and religion. One interesting area, for example, is the so-called fine tuning of the universe for the emergence of intelligent life. The remarkable features of the universe we inhabit have suggested to some that the laws of physics must be the result of design. Other contest this. So this will be one of the items on the agenda at the conference. Attending will be a number of prominent physicists, philosophers and theologians will offer presentations of their views about the possible intersection of physics and theology. There will also be the opportunity for contributed papers from other participants. The presentations of the major speakers will be published as a book.\nYou've dedicated this event to prof. John Polkinghorne\nIn a sense, Prof. John Polkinghorne embodies the possibilities for fruitful dialogue between theology and physics. As a distinguished physicist, who later in life become a Anglican priest, John Polkinghorne demonstrates how physics and religious faith can coexist. He has also published many important books on the interaction of science and religion, and has been a major contributor to the positive engagement between faith and science.\nFrom your point of view, are there, in United Kingdom and generally in anglosaxon countries, specific keys to interpretate Science and Faith relationship ?\nHistorically speaking, in England science and religion had a very positive relationship, certainly from the seventeenth century onwards. However, things began to change in the late nineteenth century, with the growing professionalisation and specialisation of science. It was around this time that the \u2018conflict myth\u2019 arose, according to which science and religion were necessarily in conflict. This is still a quite common view, and is vocally promoted by people such as Richard Dawkins. So it is sometimes difficult to promote the contrary view, which points to the possibility of peaceful co-existence between science and religion. The situation is much more polarised in North America, of course, partly due to the prevalence of strong anti-evolutionary movements there. These tend to promote a polarisation between science and religion.\nIf philosophy has a mediation role between science and religion, which should be a possible role for communication, and information too ?\nPhilosophy has a very important role to play, as a way of mediating central issues in the science-religion discussione. Equally important is communication. There are many myths and misconceptions about science and religion and their relationship. While many in academia are aware of the currency of these mistaken ideas, it is important that this message is communicated more broadly.\nIt is also important, as in all areas of academic research, that the results of considered reflection on these key issues be communicated to the public. This can be difficult, but it is an important part of our work to keep the public informed.\nAn important role that media sometime seem to misunderstand, or refuse, due to economic and audience reasons ...\nThe media often like short \u2018sound bites\u2019, and because science and religion issues tend to be quite complex, it can be difficult to comunicate the issues in an approachable and understandable way. The media also tend to favour stories about conflict and controversy, and so the idea that science and religion can co-exist peacefully is more difficult to get across.\nYour most recent book is The Cambridge Companion to Science and Religion\nThe collection is an attempt to provide a comprehensive introduction to the relations between science and religion, with contributions from historians, philosophers, scientists and theologians. It explores the impact of religion on the origins and development of science, religious reactions to Darwinism, and the link between science and secularization. It also offers in-depth discussions of contemporary issues, with perspectives from cosmology, evolutionary biology, psychology, and bioethics. The volume is rounded out with philosophical reflections on the connections between atheism and science, the nature of scientific and religious knowledge, and divine action and human freedom.\nAfter Charles Darwin's Year is it possibile to think to a \u201creconciliation\u201d and a dialogue between evolution and faith in a Creator God ?\nI would like to say that we are seeing a greater understanding of how evolutionary theory might be consistent with traditional religious belief. However, while this is true in some quarters, there seems to be a growth in both religiously inspired anti-evolutionary movements, and in the use of evolution as a kind of atheistic ideology. So while the Darwin year saw some very positive discussions about reconciling faith with evolutionary thinking, my sense is that more generally there is growing polarisation of views on this question. This disturbing polarisation is promoted both by aggressive atheists who attempt to implicate evolutionary thinking in their atheism, and by fundamentalist Christians and Muslims, who believe similarly that evolution must be linked to atheism. Of course, both groups are mistaken.\nInterview by Paolo Centofanti, SRM",

        "raw_content": "DJ Kelly-Quattrocchi is the director of housing and residential life at DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond Washington. DJ received his master\u2019s degree from Oregon State University\u2019s college student services administration program in 2014. When he\u2019s not working, DJ enjoys reading, baking, playing video games, working on his board game collection, and spending way too much time on YouTube.\nWhile finishing up my graduate program, I thought that I had my professional trajectory planned out. I had diversified my professional experiences, my internships, and written a thesis that I was proud of. I was unsure of where I wanted to end up, but I was shooting for my dream job. But after 50+ job applications and no on campus interviews, I did something I never thought I\u2019d do\u2026 I took an interim position in residence life across the country. With less than a week until my new student staff arrived on campus, I drove across the country to a school I\u2019d never visited and started my new role.\nI enjoyed my interim role and was considering to apply for the permanent position when my then fianc\u00e9 told me he had gotten into graduate school in Seattle. While I appreciated the interim role and wanted to continue in it, my fianc\u00e9 had gotten into his top school and I knew that it was time to do another cross-country search.\nThis search was faster, more localized, and higher stress since we had a \u201cdeadline\u201d to be in Seattle. At this time, I had a colleague working at DigiPen Institute of Technology and she suggested that I apply to a resident director position that just opened there. DigiPen is a private for-profit school, and I struggled with the idea of applying to the institution. I had only worked at public non-profit schools and had a skewed view of what for-profit schools were like. But I decided to take the plunge to apply, and make my own decision about DigiPen instead of lumping it with other private for-profit schools. My interview was delightful. I was drawn to the student demographic, as well as getting the opportunity to work in a relatively new housing program. I was in the airport, having left the interview less than 24 hours before when I was offered the position. I excitedly accepted, thinking that I found a good position that balanced my skills and interests.\nA few weeks later, I moved to Redmond and started at DigiPen. At the end of my first day my supervisor, the director of housing and residential life, asked to meet with me. She informed me that she had accepted a new position within the division and I was going to meet with the dean of students the following day to discuss whether or not I was interested in her position. I was shocked. I had hardly worked a full day, was dealing with transitioning into a new role and institution, and had less than 24 hours to figure out if I wanted to be considered for her position. The next day I met with the dean of students. We talked about what my intended career trajectory was, how I saw myself handling the challenge of transitioning into a director role and supervising two professionals (one of which currently worked there and one that I would have to hire), and whether I wanted the job. I expressed my hesitation about taking the role, especially since there was another RD who had worked within the department longer than I had. The dean of students asked me to push aside what I thought I \u201cshould\u201d do, and wanted me to reflect upon whether I felt like I could do and enjoy the work. In the moment, this was difficult for me to do. I am a contextual and empathetic person and was worried about the impact this promotion would have upon the other RD. The dean of students saw this and told me that he believed that I could handle the professional relationships that would be expected of this role, but only if I would enjoy the work. With that in mind, I said yes.\nWhy does this matter? Saying yes to opportunities that have shown up has drastically changed the trajectory that I assumed I would follow. Leaving graduate school, I never thought that I would move across the country twice, hold an interim role for ten months, accept a job at a private for-profit institution, and become a director of housing. Saying yes is powerful. It takes courage, knowledge of what you\u2019re able to do, and sometimes belief in others when you may not be able to believe in yourself. Saying yes can also be terrifying. Sometimes, it means standing on a precipice and not knowing where yes will take you. It means taking a leap of faith and being okay with where you land. Opportunity and yes are inherent in the work that we do, and being open to both can make your path fresh and exciting. Even now as a newer professional, I am learning about the power of yes and being open to opportunities.",

        "raw_content": "Curb Your Enthusiasm, American Dad, Law & Order: SVU\nMost of the time, you can tell someone is from New York City based off of voice and attitude alone. It\u2019s a bit of a stereotype for most New Yorkers, but sometimes you can end up making a career out of that. One notable New Yorker that\u2019s made a long acting career by playing a lot of characters that you envision when you think of New Yorkers is Susie Essman. The comedienne turned actress has been on screen for more than 30 years, including one comedy series that\u2019s been around for nearly two decades that you might be familiar with.\nEssman was born in New York City on May 31, 1955, but was raised just outside of the Big Apple. It was a rather normal upbringing for Essman, who\u2019s parents worked in the fields of medicine and education. Essman was quite the talented performer growing up, making friends and family laugh with quite a bit of ease. After attending college in Harrison, New York, Essman focused a lot of her time on performing stand-up comedy.\n\u201cI wanted to be a comedic actress, which is kind of different to being on stage, then one time I was doing stand-up, felt like the kind of thing I should have been doing for years,\u201d she said. \u201cRichard Pryor was my idol when I was growing up, the greatest comic that ever lived. He was everything that a comic should be. I like the people that I grew up with.\u201d\nThroughout the 1980s, Essman\u2019s stand-up career started to garner her some notice. Like many that have gotten into comedy, Essman knew that she wanted to add acting to her resume. In what would be her first film role, Essman played a very minor role, but was part of a very big movie. Following the success of the first \u201cCrocodile Dundee\u201d, a second movie starring Paul Hogan as the title character was ordered. The second film was released in 1988, with Essman playing the role of a tour guide. It didn\u2019t get Essman a lot of screen time, but it started off what has become a very long and successful career.\nIn the same year in which Essman had her first movie role, she also landed a starring role on the show \u201cBaby Boom\u201d as Charlotte Elkman. The series also starred Kate Jackson of \u201cCharlie\u2019s Angels\u201d fame, though it didn\u2019t last for long. NBC aired just eight episodes of the series\u2019 first season, with the final five of the first season not making it to broadcast.\nAfterward, Essman would have multiple guest roles on \u201cTrue Colors\u201d on television, as well as the shows \u201cNed and Stacey\u201d and \u201cLaw & Order\u201d. During the late 1970s, Essman also had her first notable film roles, appearing in both \u201cVolcano\u201d and \u201cWhat\u2019s Your Sign?\u201d in 1997. Then, when the new millennium started, Essman had her breakout.\nIn 2000, Essman was cast as Susie Greene, the brash and brutally honest wife of Jeff Garlin\u2019s character Jeff Greene. The role was only scheduled as a guest part, but over the years, Essman stole the scene in just about every performance and had a significant impact in many episodes. The show is still airing to this day (despite having a hiatus), and now Essman is listed on the main cast. During the show\u2019s original run, Essman also had several guest spots on other shows that include \u201cLaw & Order\u201d and \u201cDora the Explorer\u201d.\nAlso in the 2000s, Essman has added some more movie roles to her resume. This includes movies such as \u201cThe Man\u201d, \u201cKeeping the Faith\u201d and \u201cCop Out\u201d. Most recently, Essman was on the big screen in the 2017 film \u201cBand Aid\u201d. On top of still being on \u201cCurb Your Enthusiasm\u201d, Essman has been playing a role as Mrs. Lonstein on the Seth Macfarlane animated series \u201cAmerican Dad\u201d. Over the past few years, Essman has added recurring roles in shows such as \u201cBroad City\u201d, \u201cLaw & Order: Special Victims Unit\u201d and is still on the cast of \u201cThose Who Can\u2019t\u201d.\nWhile her character on \u201cCurb\u201d might be a bit of a Jewish stereotype, Essman sees the broad appeal that her character has. \u201cSusie is an iconic Jewish mother in her own right, but all moms are protective and feel injured when their kids don\u2019t behave,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are universal aspects about motherhood, and hey, about personhood. People in new York think that the only people who get the show are older Jewish people from the Upper West Side, and that\u2019s just not true. I travel all over the world\u2026and they love us there!\u201d\nAnd sometimes, if she\u2019s in the mood, her character spills over into real life. \u201cI\u2019m in an interesting position because people come up to me, and I\u2019m not always in the mood. I\u2019m going about my life, and I don\u2019t feel like screaming and yelling at them, but some people are so relentless that I end up gladly screaming and yelling at them, and they\u2019re happy,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever gone too far. It seems like I don\u2019t go far enough.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Which is worse for your health: sitting or smoking?\nSitting and smoking both have negative effects, but one is worse than the other\n\"A new study compares the health effects of sitting and smoking.\" Illustration published on Thursday, Nov. 1, 2018.\nThough the smell of cigarette smoke may not linger on campus due to ASU's tobacco-free policy, rumors circulate on whether another common habit of college students similarly impacts their health.\nAn ASU professor worked as part of a team researching whether the health effects of sitting are equal to that of smoking and how media contributed to the validity of the popular myth that sitting is the new smoking.\nHowever, a study has proved smoking is in fact, worse.\nAssociate professor in the College of Health Solutions, Matthew Buman, and his colleagues published a peer-reviewed paper in the American Journal of Public Health that sheds light on the burning question.\nThe researchers examined whether sitting or smoking could result in more health problems by analyzing and comparing multiple large-scale research studies on the various health risks and long-term effects of sitting versus smoking. These studies that were analyzed sampled a broad variety of adults and surveyed their health over long periods of time.\nJeff Vallance, the lead author of the paper, said his team quantified the resulting data on the negative effects of each habit, leading to the conclusion that the repercussions of smoking regularly are three times worse than the effects of prolonged sitting.\nThe study stated that \"the strongest risk estimates (for prolonged sitting) have been observed for type 2 diabetes.\"\n\"The knowledge that sitting can be harmful for our health has been around for the last 15 years.\" Buman said. \"Smoking is something you can abstain from, but you can't abstain from sitting. The problem isn't sitting itself, but prolonged sitting.\"\nVallance said it doesn't make sense for the media to compare sitting to smoking as a scare tactic, since the general public is informed by the media and depends on it for reliable information.\n\u201cIt is hard to compare something that is habit to an addiction. Also, secondhand smoke harms people compared to sitting, which can\u2019t harm anyone,\u201d Vallance said.\nResults also show that smoking has a strong link to lung cancer, where sitting does not directly lead to cancer, according to Buman.\n\"The public gets messages around health that can sometimes be misleading, and we want to avoid that if possible,\" Buman said.\nMedia outlets that sensationalized the idea of sitting being the new smoking include the LA Times, Bloomberg, the New York Post, Huffington Post, CNN and Forbes.\nJames Levine, president of Fondation IPSEN in France, formerly worked in the endocrinology division at Mayo Clinic Arizona and with the Mayo Clinic/ASU Obesity Solutions Initiative.\nLevine created the concept of the treadmill desk invention during his time at the Mayo Clinic/ASU with a goal of building a more active society.\n\"Data in the lab showed that people who do not exercise were more likely to have diabetes, heart disease and more health issues,\" Levine said.\nDespite the press making headlines with claims such as \"sitting is the new smoking,\" Levine believes the publicity is good for the public's awareness, despite the comparison of health effects.\n\"When someone says sitting is the new smoking, I don't think they are saying one is better or worse,\" Levine said. \"They both need attention, and I think it's a good thing the press would even debate such a matter and bring health to the public's attention.\"\nLelan Lawrence, a freshman majoring in psychology, smokes cigarettes despite his awareness of the health hazards.\nLawrence has been smoking cigarettes for over two years now. He said a friend of his got him into smoking, but his parents have also smoked since he was a child.\n\"I can remember the (smell) of Parliament menthol in the car when I was a little kid,\" Lawrence said.\nHe said he typically buys a pack of cigarettes every two weeks and usually smokes them socially with his friends. Lawrence also uses a JUUL regularly, but said he was not worried about health concerns at this moment. In the past, he temporarily quit smoking for financial reasons.\n\"I've had no problem quitting smoking, so I'm not too worried about addiction,\" Lawrence said.\nIf a student gets caught smoking on campus at ASU, they are given a written warning for the first offense, and a $50 fine and referral for the second and third offenses.\nLawrence said this policy does not deter his habit, and if he needs a smoke break while on campus, he'll walk five to 10 minutes off campus to smoke.\nAccording to the 2018 American College Health Association National College Health Assessment, 79.5 percent of students reported never having smoked a cigarette.\nSmoking is a higher risk to early mortality that sitting.\nMore than 2000 excess deaths per 100\u2009000 persons per year among the heaviest smokers , versus 190 excess deaths per 100\u2009000 persons per year for people with highest volume of sitting. https://t.co/PNzTQdU5Y5\n\u2014 Martha Bergren (@bergren) September 30, 2018\nRita Wermers, a nurse practitioner and advanced nursing practice graduate student, has been working for over five years with ASU Health Services, caring for students, faculty and staff.\n\"Common problems from smoking include more frequent upper respiratory infections,\" Wermers said. \"Younger students are more at risk for these infections when they inhale tobacco products whether that is vaping, or smoking cigars or cigarettes.\"\nThe natural defense functions in your body temporarily don't work while smoking, Wermers said. This makes smokers more susceptible to bouts of the flu and other health issues.\nHowever, Wermers said the negative effects of sitting for long periods of time should not be discounted despite smoking resulting in stronger consequences.\n\"Sitting weakens your muscles, including your heart, which can cause heart disease,\" Wermers said. \"In addition, people who often sit for long periods of time have upper and lower back pain and risk obesity, which opens up a path to many other problems like diabetes and high blood pressure.\"\nOverall, Wermers said students should pursue activities that contribute positively to their overall health and avoid ones which have health consequences.\nAny ASU students who are interested in quitting smoking can find resources and information here.",

        "raw_content": "ASU football wins third straight game in 31-28 victory over UCLA\nThe Sun Devils earned the victory on senior night with a win over the visiting Bruins\nASU sophomore running back Eno Benjamin (3) carries during the first half of the Sun Devils' 31-28 victory against the UCLA Bruins at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona, on Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018.\nIt wasn\u2019t its most complete victory, or its prettiest, but it was a victory nonetheless as ASU secured bowl eligibility with a 31-28 victory over the UCLA Bruins.\nA strong offensive performance, highlighted by another incredible game for sophomore running back Eno Benjamin, gave the Sun Devils their third straight win as they capped off their final home game of the season.\n\u201cThat game right there, four weeks ago, we don\u2019t win,\u201d defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales said. \u201cWe\u2019re just ok right now, we\u2019re playing good enough to win games. Earlier in the season, I sat in my chair in Colorado and said we\u2019re good enough to be close. We\u2019ve gotten a little bit better since then, and now we\u2019re good enough to win games and we\u2019ve won three in a row.\u201d\nRedshirt senior quarterback Manny Wilkins exited Sun Devil Stadium for the final time today, leaving victorious after an up-and-down performance that was just good enough to pull out the win. Finishing with three total touchdowns and 259 total yards, Wilkins struggled finding consistency through the air, but he came through when ASU needed him most.\nHis ability to milk the clock throughout the second half gave a struggling Sun Devil defense some much needed rest, and his orchestration of multiple 15 play drives late in the third quarter and into the fourth all but quelled any chances of a Bruin comeback.\n\u201cWe just stayed the course,\u201d Wilkins said. \u201cThey knew what we were going to run, we knew what they were going to run, and it\u2019s all about who wants it more. I think you could see that. It\u2019s a look in our eyes right now, and we damn sure wanted it, and we still want it.\u201d\nThe emotional toll of a moment like senior day can not be understated, and its effect on the players was obvious from the opening kickoff. Early on ASU\u2019s effort was there, but the team's execution was sloppy as it allowed the UCLA offense to drive down the field with ease.\nA Senior Day to Remember #ThankYouSeniors #ForksUp pic.twitter.com/K56cEeJJTi\nEach of the Bruins' first four drives ended in Sun Devil territory, and ASU was lucky to escape only allowing 14 total points. A handful of halftime adjustments though produced a much different second half, as the Sun Devil defense clamped down and secured the victory on senior day.\n\u201cIt was important these seniors left this field with a win,\u201d head coach Herm Edwards said. \u201cWe talked about it all week, how this would be the last time they play in this stadium. That was on everyone\u2019s mind. When you\u2019re a senior, your eyes are all watered up. I get it, this is your day.\u201d\nBenjamin had another fantastic day running the ball, totaling 182 yards on the ground en route to collecting his 12th rushing touchdown of the season. His performance today marks his third straight game with over 175 yards rushing, as ASU moves to 5-0 when Benjamin collects over 130 yards on the ground.\n\u201cI\u2019m not saying I don\u2019t want to pass the ball, but I think to be tough in moments like this, when you can run the football is says something about who you are,\u201d Edwards said. \u201cI liked the way we ran it. It\u2019s amazing, I know in this world everyone wants to see high scores and they want to see the ball thrown all over the yard, but I think if you run the ball with consistency you have a chance to have a pretty good football team.\u201d\nAs the team now prepares for its final two games of the season, a small group of players was faced with the realities of their impending departure from Arizona State.\nFew took it harder than Wilkins, whose self-described journey is one of turmoil and hardships, but is also filled with moments of pure, unfiltered joy.\n\"This place will be forever special to me, I\u2019m not going to go ghost, I\u2019ll always be back here, just cause this place is very special to me. I grew from a boy to a man, and it\u2019s bigger than football,\u201d Wilkins said.\nPreparation now begins for next week\u2019s game against the Oregon Ducks, as ASU travels to Eugene with a chance to further solidify its spot in the Pac-12 championship. A goal that once appeared impossible now may be in reach, as wins in ASU's final two games guarantees the Sun Devils a Pac-12 championship game berth.\n\u201cI told (the team) this was going to be the hardest game they play all year, and it turned out to be that,\u201d Edwards said. \u201c I kept warning the players that this is what type of game it\u2019s going to be, and lo and behold it showed up. To their credit, they withstood the peaks and valleys of the game, and they kept their poise. We learned a lot about ourselves today.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The 10 Best Italo Calvino Books\nBy Michael Wood |\nCalvino\u2019s first published work was The Path to the Nest of Spiders, a novel in more or less realistic (even neo-realistic, as in the Italian cinema) mode about the Italian resistance to the German army during World War II. After a protracted attempt at a second such novel, he never worked in this tradition again. But he didn\u2019t abandon reality, only the ambition to depict it directly. He made a subtle, helpful distinction when he protested against the translation of the title of his novella The Non-Existent Knight as The Unreal Knight. \"I never say the knight is unreal,\" Calvino remarked. \"I say that he does not exist. That is very different.\" What we imagine is real too, and may be one of our best roads to understanding the supposedly solid historical world.\nAnother fine phrase from a letter. Calvino said that as a writer he aimed at \"a clown-like mimesis of reality.\" A representation of life with lots of make-up and antics, full of laughter and sorrow, but not immediately, realistically plausible. Yet a version of reality all the same. Who has ever thought clowns are not real?\nHere are brief evocations of 10 works by Calvino. I haven\u2019t ranked them, because they are so different from each other--but it would be a fine game in the spirit of Calvino to try out different rankings and decipher our reasons for them.\nIf on a Winter\u2019s Night a Traveler -\nThis is a novel that pretends to be a novel that can\u2019t get started. Through various editorial and other mishaps, every chapter turns out to be not a continuation of the work we are supposed be reading but the first chapter of another one. There are wonderful parodies here, of Borges, of French thrillers, Japanese erotic fiction, political allegories, Latin American magical realism. And in the end the disparate stories do add up to an ironic but tender happy ending. The two readers we have kept meeting manage to get together and stay together.\nIn this extraordinary mixture of fantasy, fable and history Calvino traces the conversations of Marco Polo with the Great Khan. Each conversation is effectively a place, an invented, magical city that Polo \u2018tells\u2019 to the Khan as if it were a story. Every city offers images of great beauty and bewilderment, and the tone of the work darkens delicately as it progresses towards its ultimate, ambiguous visions of hell\nThese memos represent the lectures that Calvino was to have given at Harvard in 1983. He had written five of them at the time of his death, so that in English the very title represents a wish and a regret--the Italian book is called Lezioni americane, Italian Lessons (or lectures). Each lecture evokes a virtue that Calvino would like humanity to take with it, if possible, into the next millennium. The virtues are: lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, multiplicity\nThe Road to San Giovanni\n- This is an autobiographical essay about Calvino\u2019s childhood in San Remo--long walks in the mountains, many movies, time on the beach. His love-affair with Ginger Rogers, he says, was \"star-crossed from the start, even in my daydreams, since I didn\u2019t know how to dance.\"\nMr Palomar -\nMr Palomar is a lonely modern thinker, a portrait of the artist as a man with time on his hands. He looks at the sky, his lawn, the sea, starlings, tortoises, Roman rooftops, a girl, giraffes and much else. He wants only to observe, to learn a modest lesson from creatures and things. But he can\u2019t. There is too much to see in them. Still, he keeps looking, a model for all those of us who would like to understand more (of anything) than we do\n- In this pair of long stories, groups of travelers are stranded (in a castle, in a inn) and mysteriously unable to speak. They are desperate to tell their stories, though (they all have stories), and manage to do this by laying out playing cards on a table in a certain order. Many adventures arise, including some old and famous ones, those of Faust and Oedipus, for example. There is even a flickering figure who resembles Sigmund Freud",

        "raw_content": "Southwest continues to get plenty of press these days, including an article in today's The Washington Post. The article is about the new Safeway and the reopening of 4th Street. A bit of news in the article states that the sit-down restaurant planned at Waterfront Station is one of the retail leases signed (although that tidbit has been taken down in the past few hours). Previously, the restaurant was just in negotiations to open at Waterfront Station. Perhaps the lease wasn't actually signed yet, so that's why it was removed from the article...\nUpdate: The full article was put back in on Tuesday and includes some misinformation, as one commenter noted, about the Bank of America moving back into the development from their trailer. As of a few weeks ago, the developers at Waterfront Station said that Bank of America would not move back to the development and would remain in their trailer until their lease expires in December 2012. The developers are looking for another bank to take their place.\nLabels: 4th Street, Safeway, Waterfront Station\nECO said...\nIt also says that BOA is moving back from temporary quarters.... but I thought they were staying in their trailer until their lease was up?\nI have a feeling the information in the article was stolen from your blog. You reported everything they wrote about days ago.\nIf they did steal the information from my blog, they would have known that the Bank of America wasn't coming back to Waterfront Station. :-)\nan update about trash cans...I wrote to Tommy Wells (cc'ing forest city, vornado, and ANC members) and got the following response:\n\"Thanks for your email. I\u2019m not sure if these were installed by Safeway, Forest City or the District. I see we\u2019ve got the developer on this email, and I\u2019ve added Mr. Craig Muckle from Safeway to this response.\nI would assume it may take a short period of adjustment for people to get used to the new cans, but I\u2019ll ask folks to clean the cans and remove the trash more frequently.\nTommy\"\nIf the developer is looking for another bank, can local residents provide input?\nSend an email to Gordon Fraley at Vornado: gfraley@vno.com\nSW#1Fan said...\nThe sushi bar at the Safeway is a real giggle. The dishes and soup bowl set out are \"just for decoration\" I was told, there IS NO SOUP! That being said, they will make whatever you want fresh, but then THERE IS NOTHING TO DRINK. Newsflash: Green tea, black tea, or even a glass of water is sort of expected at a sit-down counter service food facility. You have to go into the store to buy a cold drink, or to Starbucks and wait in line for hot water and a tea bag if you want hot tea.\nNot one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I still cheer the fact that I can go to my local supermarket and have a delicious, freshly-made sushi meal.",

        "raw_content": "South Yorkshire groups to make communities safer under Fire Authority funding scheme\nCharities and community groups across South Yorkshire will deliver work to reduce fires, traffic collisions and water deaths, after being awarded funding by South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Authority.\nSixteen projects focussing on issues including loneliness, hoarding and water safety will all benefit from the funding which has been made available under the Authority\u2019s Stronger Safer Communities Reserve.\nLast year the fire service published plans which included a commitment to work more closely with community organisations to increase the reach of its safety work.\nFire Authority Chair Cllr Linda Burgess, said: \u201cThe Authority believes that charities, community organisations and other local groups can play an important part in supporting the work of the fire service to make our communities safer and stronger. Members look forward to seeing how the money which has been allocated following a rigorous assessment process will deliver real and far-reaching benefits for local people.\u201d\nThe Stronger Safer Communities Reserve is a Fire Authority scheme which reinvests money into local communities to support the fire service\u2019s work to prevent emergencies. The money has been set aside from the Authority\u2019s reserves.\nResearch carried out by social return on investment specialists found that projects delivered through both of the fund\u2019s previous bidding rounds produced nearly \u00a35 million worth of benefits to local people.\nThis time, local partners, charities and community organisations were able to bid for funding ranging from \u00a35,000 to \u00a3100,000. There were 48 applications for funding, with the final list of 16 successful projects being decided by an assessment board. The funding allocated totals \u00a3639,000.\nThe full list of funded projects can be found here\nKeep yourself warm this winter to help protect your health.

It is a 12 week personal development course for unemployed 16 \u2013 25 year olds, offering work experience, qualifications, practical skills, community projects and a residential week.\nThe event was also attended by local dignitaries and friends and family of the young people.\nSYFR Station Manager Spencer Rowland said; \u201cIt was a great honour to welcome The Prince of Wales to Dearne fire station and to be given the chance for the young people to demonstrate how far they have come on the Team Programme. It will be a day the young people cherish for the rest of their lives.\u201d\nWould you like to be part of the next Team Programme? We are recruiting for the members of the Rotherham Barnsley and Sheffield programmes, to be part of the Team or for further details contact John Daley on 07769 887249 or princestrust@syfire.gov.uk.\nChanges to Home Safety Checks service\nWe have carried out tens of thousands of home safety visits in South Yorkshire over the last decade, including the fitting of hundreds of thousands of free smoke alarms. We believe this work has contributed to big falls in the number of accidental house fires during that time.\nHowever, the majority of the visits we have undertaken have been to homes which are unlikely to ever suffer a serious fire. This is based upon detailed analysis of our historical incident data and the factors which we know are likely to contribute to a person\u2019s likelihood of suffering a fire.\nTo continue to reduce house fires, deaths and injuries we believe we need to become even more targeted in the way we deliver our prevention work.\nTo achieve this, we are changing our Home Safety Checks service from 1 March so that safety advice continues to be given to all, but home visits by fire service staff are only offered for free to those most at risk of fire based upon some clearly defined risk criteria.\nThose who self-refer themselves to us, but who are deemed to be lower risk based upon these criteria, will be offered the information and advice to carry out a home safety check themselves. You can find out more or request a visit using our online form here\nPeople who are referred to us by our network of more than 130 Safe & Well referral partners will continue to receive a free visit by a member of fire service staff.\nThe changes we are making were one of the changes we announced in plans which were published in April 2017, following a period of public consultation.

It rained all last night and part of this morning, but started to clear up towards lunch time, so Sandy and I went to Umstead and hiked from the Reedy Creek side. We hiked from the parking lot just a short ways on Company Mill Trail and took the short Inspiration Trail loop. Once finished we proceeded to the bridge across Crabtree Creek. Normally, this is a very popular area, but with the weather, we didn't see anyone else. It was a great opportunity to take some pictures. Then we continued the rest of the loop and back to the car. The leaves were starting to change, but it will probably be another week before the peak of foliage in the Triangle area.",

        "raw_content": "Good morning all~~\nWhat you are about to read is graphic in detail; parts of an interview with Luana.. they may be upsetting to read, but they are the TRUTH and I felt it necessary to write it.. thanks..Leigh\nI had a long and interesting discussion with Luana, DP ex-wife yesterday. As some of you may know, I had interviewed her extensively several weeks ago; she was incredibly brave and helpful. I purposely DIDN'T publish a lot of her interview, because at that time I was afraid for her safety. She had told me weeks ago the same info that was published that week, that she thought DP killed Kelly; he had threatened Luana multiple times in their tumultuous 10 year marriage.\n\"He told me that he knew how to kill somebody and get rid of the body so that NOBODY would find it,\" Luana said. \" He talked about using a wood chipper and dumping the body parts in the river.. He said that nobody would find any of me.\" He also held a gun to her head and made her urinate into a Tylenol bottle to avoid a random urine test while working at the prison. He grew pot in their basement. It was also convenient that he was trained in the testing procedures and was able to fake his test. It's widely thought that he did it for others in the prison; a small group who were his \"friends\" and fellow drug dealers.\nWhat is remarkable to me is the absolute HELL this man not only put Luana through, but his children as well. He used to hit his daughter Brandi all over hers legs and thighs.. she would often go to school with bruises all over them.\n\"He would get mad at her\"whining\".. he would pick her up and throw her down on the ground.When she tried to run upstairs to her room, her would chase her up the stairs. All I could hear was yelling and slapping. he used his fists on her. And nobody was allowed to go up and help her... if you did, you got the same treatment.,\" Luana said.\nLuana's other two children, Davey and Britney also received like treatment at their father's hand. He would regularly slap them and belittle them... they tiptoed around him, never knowing if something innocuous would set his temper off. A certain thing out of place, laundry not done properly.. it all made him mad.\n\"Dave would get down on his hands and knees and BEAT the floor, screaming 'WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?' all the time. It's like he would lose him mind or something.\" Luana said. \"then he would start swinging, and he would say.. see? you MAKE me do this.. it was sick, JUST sick.\"\n\"He kicked Britney out .. she was 18 and had a little baby.. she stayed with me for four months, before she ended up staying with her boyfriend, now husband.\nI am learning more each day about this psychopath... Luana would vacuum the house.. he would grab it when she was finished and do it again.. and again...\n\"When I saw that the neighbor in Florida said he could hear vacuuming all the time, I knew that was the truth. I lived it.\"\nDave Perry is a waste of flesh and bone.. let's bring him to justice.\nLeigh~~\nIt's absolutely disgusting what people have gone thru at the hands of Dave. I just will never imagine why people do such horrible deeds to others. I guess maybe they just don't like themselves or have any respect for themselves.\nMy land what a pathetic loser David Perry is. I had no idea that he did all this stuff to his family. Luana is a very BRAVE woman to say the least. I would be scared out of my mind to come out with all of this for the fear that he may try to do something to me, GOD BLESS YOU LUANA!! I am sick to my stomach reading what he did to her and her children! How absolutely horrible. May the Lord watch over her as well as with Kelly, The Rothwells, Donna and over you as well Leigh.\nThank you Leigh for this eye opening story! You truly are a blessing!\nI knew he was a POS, now I know he's not even that good. Rot in hell Dave.\nIt makes me sick inside...he is a monster that will be taken care of by a higher (or lower)power\nSo many of the traits Luana listed are typical in abusive men. Thats why women are in more danger when they leave then at any other time. These abusers cannot allow themselves to lose control over their property.\nLuana, if you read this, Thank you for having the courage and the strength to speak out.\nI worked with him at a restaurant while he was working as a guard, I always knew he was off, but never to that extent. It is heart breaking what his daughter went through, he used to bring her into the restaurant with his ex Anne I think her name was. While he was with his ex, he would constantly hit on the girls, and try to hook up. He had an awful temper then, and was eventually terminated for choke slamming a cook, because his food wasn't right. He would run around and belittle the female staff, calling them fat if they were eating. There are more stories, but don't want to go into them, but it's unfortunate that any women would have to deal with that. Poor Kelly should have been warned.. Dave have a heart, do the right thing, save your soul.. if you have one.\nKara Holland April 28, 2011 at 2:39 PM\nThat's just it, Anonymous, he doesn't have a soul or a heart! He is just a low life, for a lack of better words. Kelly did not deserve this nor did her family and friends. No woman/man/child should go through anything like this ever!!\nI worked with him @ the restaurant, too. Very full of himself. macho, chauvinist, racist and generally cynical\u2026.but I also saw that he could turn the charm on in an instant \u2013 flash a smile, schmooz the customers and rake in the tips. It\u2019s so easy to see how Kelly could have been taken in before she saw his dark side.\nAppealing to him will not work. Despite best efforts, he doesn't operate like the rest of us. He's banking on the notion that people will lose interest. Do NOT let that happen. He thinks of and responds to people being identified as either weak or strong. He, of course, sees himself as strong from an escapist point of view. Invincible and above the rest. His ego is all that matters. Go over his posts, you will see what I mean. Hope someone catches up with him soon.",

        "raw_content": "Volunteering at Operation Gratitude\nWhen I asked if we should put different Girl Scout cookie varieties in the packages for the troops instead of two of the same, a veteran replied, \"No, they just give them to Afghan children, who in turn, tell them where the bombs are.\" I knew then that I wasn't just packing mere care packages.\nI've written in the past about Operation Gratitude, which sends personal care packages to the troops-at least 100,000 per year. I had originally heard about the organization at last year's The Women's Conference. Inspired by the program, I had a little party where my girlfriends and I wrote letters to the soldiers to accompany Operation Gratitude's boxes.\nThis last weekend though, I got to see the whole operation in full force when I volunteered at the non-profit's headquarters--a garage at the California Army National Guard in Van Nuys- to help assemble the packages going out. Over 150 volunteers were there and it was a massive assembly line. My job was putting in DVDs along the side of the box (a lot of which were donated by the Walt Disney Home Entertainment team :) or were Emmy screeners of TV shows) into the boxes. Sounds simple enough, but the boxes were actually coming by really quickly and I had to put them in upright in every other box and would lose my order for a second. I couldn't help but be reminded of the classic I Love Lucy episode. Other items going overseas included books, toiletries, snacks, and handwritten letters.\nLearn easy ways how you can get involved.",

        "raw_content": "County-Centric\nBy Beth Duke, Executive Director of Center City of Amarillo, Inc.\nServing as a focal point for municipalities, county courthouses play an important role in locally sponsored events. In this post, Beth Duke, executive director of Center City of Amarillo, Inc. (the Amarillo Main Street program), explains Potter County\u2019s contribution to downtown Amarillo happenings.\nCenter City of Amarillo and Potter County have worked together on a partnership that will celebrate its 20th anniversary this summer. Center City sponsors High Noon on the Square every Wednesday in June and July on the Potter County Courthouse lawn. The free, nine-week concert series has grown to average about 600 people for each event. We sell a boxed lunch, but the entertainment is free. Entertainment ranges from the musical drama Texas to the Lone Star Ballet, and from the Amarillo Opera to local musicians Andy Chase and Mike Fuller.\nThis is an amazing partnership because Potter County allowed us to have High Noon on the Square even during the three years of the courthouse restoration, a project of the THC\u2019s Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program. In fact, the construction workers were some of our best customers! Our event attracts people of all ages from all of Amarillo\u2019s neighborhoods, making it truly a Main Street event.\nCenter City loves Potter County and its team so much that when it came time to rededicate the Potter County Courthouse, Center City sponsored the reception during the open house. Finally, we nominated the Potter County Courthouse for a Texas Downtown Association Design Award for Historic Restoration, and it won first place in 2013!",

        "raw_content": "10 Years Later: Did the Terrorists Win?\nBy Yasser Khalil\nEven a decade on, the memory of the 9/11 attacks is still present. While the terrorists achieved the physical destruction they set out to create, they failed to accomplish their goal of inciting all-out hatred between Muslims and the West. As such, on this 10th anniversary of 9/11, the most fitting legacy would be to reach out to our neighbours and to those who are different from us.\nIn 2002, I was selected to be a participant in a programme for young media professionals run by the U.S. Department of State. I travelled from Egypt \u2013 where I work as a freelance journalist \u2013 to the United States. I visited Washington, DC; New York; Illinois; Seattle; and Texas in 21 days. At dawn on 11 September 2002, we headed to Manhattan to visit the site where the World Trade Center collapsed and commemorated the first anniversary of the attacks. Looking out over the site where the Twin Towers once stood, I observed that it had become an almost empty stretch of land, surrounded by a small fence.\nDuring the commemoration ceremony, I realised the magnitude of pain and suffering that Americans felt as a result of that treacherous attack. I could not help but notice that all the Americans present \u2013 Muslims, Jews, Christians and others\u2013 were overtaken by deep emotion.\nAfterwards I travelled through several American states. I noticed that the majority of the Muslims I met during my tour emphasised that they were American and expressed a deep sense of belonging to this land.\nIn Seattle, I remember meeting an Egyptian immigrant named Samir Al-Arabi, who owned a shop selling traditional Egyptian artefacts. He told me: \u201cOn the day following the attacks, I found people waiting for me at the door of my shop. They knew I was a Muslim immigrant and they asked if I had been harassed or harmed, or if I had perceived any discrimination for being Muslim.\u201d Sometimes, he explained, he would find a bunch of flowers, or a letter that had been pushed under the store\u2019s front door, with an offer to help him if he was ever harassed. Al-Arabi added: \u201cI felt reassured as a Muslim immigrant who was becoming worried about his status in the United States after September 11 and I was grateful for this spirit of brotherhood. I felt true love for America and content with my life here.\u201d\nI heard similar remarks from many people on my visit to America. I also learned from discussions with a number of officials at civil society organisations focusing on Arab and Muslim affairs that they were involved in concerted efforts to convince Muslims of the need for their political and social participation in American society. These organisations encouraged positive integration and helped Muslims avoid the potential for isolation as a community.\nI also participated in discussions between Americans and citizens and journalists from Muslim-majority countries facilitated through the Internet, video conferencing and in-person cultural exchanges.\nThese conversations were only one result of 9/11. There were other consequences as well \u2013 all certainly unintended. For instance, many religious leaders in the Arab world spoke of the need to update religious sermons for the contemporary world, criticising extremism, and using evidence from the Qur\u2019an and the Sunnah (the words and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) to show that Islam does not condone terrorism.\nAdditionally, inter-religious dialogue flourished. Prominent leaders from the three Abrahamic faiths met with one another and expressed the desire for positive coexistence. One of the many important initiatives that developed was World Interfaith Harmony Week, proposed by King Abdullah II of Jordan. It was adopted unanimously by the United Nations on 20 October 2010 as an annual event.\nThe King\u2019s suggestion was based on the work of a group of Muslim figures who started the Common Word initiative in 2007 with an open letter to Christians about the commonalities between Islam and Christianity. Over 70 Christian religious leaders and institutions, including representatives from the Vatican, responded in writing. Such initiatives were a significant step toward global dialogue between Christians and Muslims.\nLooking at all the events that have taken place over the past decade, it is clear that though terrorists may have succeeded in committing a crime, they failed to achieve their goal.\nYasser Khalil is an Egyptian researcher and journalist.",

        "raw_content": "Dining Out for Life: Fight HIV/AIDS by Going Out for Dinner\nOn Thursday, April 28, you can enjoy a great meal while, at the same time, supporting the fight against HIV/AIDS.\nDining Out for Life is an annual dining fundraising event that raises money for HIV/AIDS service organizations in the U.S. and Canada. The concept is simple: On April 28, you eat breakfast, lunch or dinner at any of the more than 3,500 participating restaurants in 56 cities across North America. The restaurant then donates a portion of the proceeds to a particular HIV/AIDS organization in that area. (The portion donated varies by location. The local HIV/AIDS organization that receives the money signed up for the event by paying a $1,000 licensing fee.)\nLast year, the event raised $4 million total. This year, the organizers aim to surpass that amount.\nThe campaign's spokesperson, Ted Allen, host of Food Network's hit series Chopped, said he was eager to get involved. \"It is more important than ever to keep HIV/AIDS on the front burner,\" he said. \"Too many people think it's a minor problem solved by swallowing a few pills. It isn't.\"\nAllen added, \"Dining Out for Life is an easy and fun way to support a great cause. Gather a group of friends and have a good meal amongst others in your community that are there for the same reason. The generous contributions by participating restaurants go a long way to help AIDS service providers in a time of major funding cutbacks.\"\nThis is the 20-year anniversary of Dining Out for Life, which was started in 1991 by a volunteer for ActionAIDS in Philadelphia, Pa.\nAt a time when U.S. AIDS Drug Assistance Program cutbacks keep growing and many HIV/AIDS assistance budgets are shrinking, why not help out and have a good time in the process? See if your city is participating and find a restaurant by visiting Dining Out for Life.\nWebinar: The National HIV/AIDS Strategy -- What It Means for Black America\nTell Washington, D.C. to Fully Fund ADAP and Other HIV/AIDS Programs to Prevent Needless Deaths\nMore Calls to Action",

Goldilocks also gets to nominate a representative to the Noble board of directors.\nAbu Dhabi Financial Group, with which Goldilocks is affiliated, will also form a strategic partnership with Noble to explore opportunities in the Middle East.\nTrading resumed Wednesday after the agreement was reached, with Noble shares soaring as much as 57 percent to 8.5 Singapore cents. The stock remains 60 lower than last year.\nGoldilocks currently holds about 8.1 percent of Noble's shares.\n\"By reaching agreement with Goldilocks, the company is now able to move into the final stages of its restructuring,\" Noble chairman Paul Brough said in a statement.\nNoble, which is headquartered in Hong Kong and listed in Singapore, reported a massive net loss of almost US$5 billion last year despite selling many of its assets in a bid to ensure survival.",

That may sound harsh, especially if all you had in mind was making an extra dollar, sparing someone\u2019s feelings, or trying to make yourself look better. No human being would set such a standard, but God does. And He\u2019s serious about it. Case in point: Ananias and Sapphira. When this couple tried to create a false impression about their giving, they dropped dead in the presence of the apostles. As a result, \u201cNo one else dared join them\u201d (Ac 5:13 NIV). How long would you have lasted in that church? Peter said, \u201cYou have not lied to men but to God\u201d (v. 4 NIV). That puts a whole new slant on it, doesn\u2019t it? The story\u2019s told of a guy who went fishing and caught nothing. So he stopped by the market on his way home and bought three fish.

His father, George Ulshoeffer, born in 1748, at Creglingen, in the dominion of the Margrave of Anspach and Bayreuth, was forced into the British service and sent to America in 1777. Many of these Hessians became in the end citizens of the Republic. George Ulshoeffer remained in America after the war, and in 1785 came to New York, where he resided, a teacher of music, until his death in 1836. He married Margareth Miller, of Pennsylvania, who survived him many years and died in this city at the age of ninety-eight. Their son, Michael Ulshoeffer, studied law in the office of T. W. Smith, at No. 3 Cedar Street, and afterwards became his partner. In 1813 he was admitted as an attorney in the Mayor's Court or Court of Common Pleas, and in the same year in the Supreme Court of the State.\nHe was appointed in 1814 a Notary Public, and in in 1815 a Master in Chancery, and served from 1815 to 1825 as Notary of the City Bank. In 1816 he was admitted as a counselor-at-law in the Mayor's Court and in the Supreme Court, and in 1817 to the United States Circuit and District Courts. In 1817 he was elected to the State Assembly, and was re-elected in 1818, 1819, 1820, and 1821. Hammond, who was opposed politically to Judge Ulshoeffer, in his \"History of Political Parties in the State of New York,\" several times refers to his career in the Legislature. He says that \" The principal and most zealous of the members of the New York delegation ( opponents of DeWitt Clinton) in 1888 were: Ogden Edwards, Peter Sharpe, and Michael Ulshoeffer,\" and again, that \" In 1820, the most powerful and efficient men in opposition to endorsing the action of the Comptroller in auditing the accounts of Daniel D. Tompkins, late Governor, were Root, Sharpe, Remain, Ulshoeffer, J. T. Irving, and Seymour, and that for skill in argument, pungency of wit, and clear, sound, logical powers of mind, few men of that age would, he imagined, have excelled Oakley, Williams, Root, Spencer, Ulshoeffer, Remain, and McKown.\"\nIn General Wilson's \"History of the City of New York,\" it is written that \" When in 1820, a bill providing for a convention to revise the Constitution of the State was disapproved by the Council of Revision\u2014Chancellor Kent writing the opinion with all the conservatism of a trained lawyer\u2014the report of Michael Ulshoeffer, chairman of the select committee of the Assembly, combated the logic of the veto with great vigor, and the report was regarded as the abler State paper of the two. In 1819, Mr. Ulshoeffer was admitted as solicitor and counsellor in chancery. Mr. Ulshoeffer was in partnership with William W. Boyd from 1823 until 1829, when Mr. Boyd retired on account of ill-health. In 1821 he was appointed Corporation Attorney of the City of New York. In 1823, it was resolved by the Common Council that he should perform the duties of counsel to the Board during their pleasure. In 1825 he was formally appointed counsel to the Corporation, and the same year the offices of attorney and counsel to the Corporation were separated. He served until 1829. In 1828 he was admitted an attorney and counsellor in the Superior Court of the City of New York.\nIn 1834 he was appointed by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate, Associate Judge of the Court of Common Pleas and was re-appointed in 1843. In 1846 he was elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas under the new Constitution and drew the shortest term, two years. He was chosen First Judge by his associates in 1838, and held the office continuously until the expiration of his service on the bench, December 31, 1849. His portrait was painted by Elliott at the request of members of the bar, and hangs in what was the Court room of the General Term of the Common Pleas. As there were no regular reports of the Court of Common Pleas in his time, a few of his opinions appear in the first of E. D. Smith's Reports and in the Code Reporter and City Hall Reporter. Judge Ulshoeffer never afterwards practiced law, but served on many boards and commissions and as a referee and arbitrator. He was one of the commissioners to appraise the lands taken for Central Park. He was one of the founders of the Law Institute of New York City. He joined the Tammany Society in 1817 and\nwas elected Sachem in 1818.\nThe only public office he held after leaving the bench was as Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police in 1859 and 1860 under the Act of 1857. The Act of 1860 legislated the Board out of office.\nHe was a vestryman of St. Mark's Church for years, then warden. Afterwards a vestryman of Grace Church, until forced by age to retire. He served frequently as a delegate to the Diocesan Convention, where he was on the Committee for the Incorporation of Churches.\nIn politics he always claimed to be a Democrat, but insisted that often the party had deserted its principles. He voted for those he considered the best men without much regard to party. He was a War Democrat. During his last years he spent much of his time in\nreading over and destroying his papers and correspondence, and left nothing concerning himself or others. Although he lent his books freely, he always refused to allow any of his private papers to go out of his hands, believing that much unnecessary trouble is caused by raking over men's lives, and that there is much to be forgiven and more to be forgotten.\nHe married Mary Ann Gracie in 1823 and had several children, some of whom survive. He died in New York City, Sept. 6, 1881, at the age of eighty-eight years.\nArticle Name: Bio Sketch of the Honorable Michael Ulshoeffer\nSource: BIBLIOGRAPHY: History of the Court of Common Pleas of the City and County of New York with Full Reports of All Important Proceedings by James Wilton Brooks, LL.D of the New York Bar-New York 1896",

        "raw_content": "Cyclones cap perfect week with rout of Cowboys\nAMES \u2014 The Lindell Wigginton and Cam Lard that Iowa State had hoped to see all season finally showed up on Saturday, giving the Cyclones the hope that last year\u2019s stars are ready to play bigger roles down the stretch.\nMarial Shayok scored 20 points and the Cyclones beat the Cowboys 72-59, sweeping the season series .\nWigginton had 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting and Lard added 12 points, five rebounds and three blocks in just 14 minutes for the Cyclones (14-4, 4-2 Big 12), who forced 15 turnovers and used a late 13-2 run to hold off the Cowboys.\n\u201cI feel like I\u2019m starting to get into a rhythm,\u201d said Wigginton, who has been coming off the bench after battling a foot injury last month. \u201cIt\u2019s been tough with my situation \u2026 but my teammates and my coaches just told me to stick with it \u2014 and that\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do.\u201d\nAfter letting Oklahoma State creep to within five, Shayok followed a jumper with a wide-open corner 3 to give Iowa State a 59-47 lead with 5:30 left. Shayok buried another 3, this one contested, to push the Cyclones\u2019 lead to 13 with 3:49 to go.\nIowa State also didn\u2019t turn the ball over in the second half and finished with just six.\n\u201cI\u2019m happy for (Wigginton), because we need him and Cameron to be at their best,\u201d Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.\nCameron McGriff scored 17 points and Lindy Waters had 14 to lead Oklahoma State (8-10, 2-4), which dropped its second straight game. The Cowboys opened the second half on an 11-2 run after falling behind by 11, but they didn\u2019t get any closer.\n\u201cI thought it was a competitive game for the most part,\u201d Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re down men, you can\u2019t lose the 50-50 battle, which we did, and didn\u2019t have a chance, really, to put much pressure on them when we missed some free throws down the stretch.\u201d\nIowa State: The Cyclones are now 4-2 in the Big 12 \u2014 and 2-0 against Kansas and Texas Tech, the only league teams ranked in the top 10 in this week\u2019s poll. If Iowa State can continue to play like it did this week, it\u2019ll push for the conference title.\nOklahoma State: The Cowboys are going to have a tough go of it the rest of the way with just nine players on their roster. Still, Oklahoma State showed a lot of fight in a gym that has demoralized quite a few road teams in recent years.\nWigginton shot below 50 percent in each of his first seven games and came into play shooting just 33.8 percent overall. But with the Cyclones in need of an early boost, Wigginton buried 3s on back-to-back possessions. He then found Lard underneath the basket with a no-look pass from the 3-point line, and Lard\u2019s easy dunk made it 40-29 Iowa State at halftime. Wigginton also hit a corner 3 to put the Cyclones ahead 49-40, and his 3 with 3:12 left pushed Iowa State\u2019s lead to 65-49. \u201cHe\u2019s only going to get better,\u201d Shayok said.\nLard, who averaged 12.6 points a game last season, broke into double figures for the first time in 2018-19. He was active under glass, helping to neutralize Cowboys big man Yor Anei, and gave Iowa State exactly what it needed in the paint with Michael Jacobson and George Conditt struggling. \u201cI thought he was really good,\u201d Prohm said of Lard. \u201cHe provides some things that, the couple of guys that play (center) for us, they\u2019re all so different. So, it really depends on what you need in the moment.\u201d\nBoth teams went 23 of 55 from the floor.

It doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t still long for it, hope for it, and ask our Father for it (and we should), but it does mean the troubles we face today are sufficient for today. And the manna we have been given for today is enough for the day.\n1. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 together.\n2. What can\u2019t you thank God for? What circumstance are you currently walking through that you are refusing to give thanks for?\n3. What are you waiting for? What is holding you back from freely and fully giving thanks?\n4.

        "raw_content": "QUEBECKERS SPOKE\nPeople do strange things in the voting booth. Standard deviations skew. The pollsters who gave the PQ a 5% plus lead in popular vote were wrong and have egg on their faces. In fact, it raises the question whether polls should be published during future campaigns. For too long the media and pollsters have attempted to manipulate public opinion\nThe people of Quebec have spoken. As Mario Dumont pointed out in his victory speech, two parties lost popular votes yesterday and one party gained a lot of credibility and doubled its popular support. This is more than a statement of disaffected voters from the other parties, it is a statement of change. It is a statement of arrival. Almost half a million Quebeckers chose to support the ADQ. It is a foundation for future growth of this party that represents a true break from the past. We shall hear more from Mr. Dumont\nMr. Bouchard, in his victory speech, said the people of Quebec had shown confidence in the PQ. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it was a defeat. A big defeat. The popular vote actually favors the Liberals by about 24,000 votes. It is a message to Bouchard that Quebeckers are not ready to embark on a new referendum and he is only continuing as Premier of Quebec thanks to very skillful gerrymandering that favours the PQ in rural ridings\nEven though the PQ won 75 seats versus the 48 for the Liberals, it is a fallacy to view this as a mandate whatsoever to pursue anything else except good government. He certainly has no mandate to put together the \"winning conditions\" or any other monkey business\nWhat this vote also tells us is that there is an urgent need in Quebec to examine a new type of representation that would more truly reflect the popular vote. The ADQ took 11.6% of the popular vote and they only have one seat. It is fundamentally wrong. In order for Quebec to be truly a democratic state as Mr. Bouchard is so fond of saying, Quebec should adopt a proportional representation system\nAs for Mr. Bouchard he should now try and become the Premier of all Quebeckers as he stated is his intention in his victory speech. His short convoluted statement in English directed to a concerned anglophone population should be clarified at the earliest opportunity. It appeared to be once again one of his adroit attempts to be everything to everybody all of the time. Was it verbiage or is it a true offer to make Quebec society more inclusive? Only actions will tell\nActions like more hiring of minorities in the public service. Freedom of choice for schooling. Getting health care access plans in place. Recognizing that Montreal is a modern cosmopolitan city and not a unilingual backwater. These are the actions that will prove intentions. Actions not broken promises\nIn light of yesterday's result, Mr. Bouchard surely must be intelligent enough to understand that Quebec will never be united with the spectre of sovereignty in the background. The fact the vote split almost evenly (as did the vote in the referendum of 1995) says it all...Quebeckers are not agreed on anything at the present time except that an increasing number enjoy Mr. Dumont's tune.",

I'm talking about what you put into them. I was just thinking about this last night, while suffering stomach cramps.\nNow, I'm not an idiot, but I will admit that sometimes the most obvious doesn't hit me until much later, after everyone else has already gotten it. Especially jokes:) It's not that I was eating junk last night. Dinner consisted of steamed shrimp and salad. The salad dressing I made with virgin olive oil. That's the culprit! I know olive oil is supposed to be good for you, but for some reason it doesn't sit well in my tummy. Add that to the piping hot cocktail sauce made with horseradish. No wonder I was miserable!\nAs I sat there suffering it came to me that I take better care of my car. I take it into the shop every three months for an oil change. Check the tires, washer fluid, replace any filters they recommend. Wash it. After all, I want it to last me a while. I paid it off and I'd like to keep it at least a couple more years.\nHow come we don't think the same way about what we put inside our bodies? Don't we want to last a little while longer? I say we because I know there's others out there who've never given it a thought. Well, I thought about it last night!\nI began to wonder why I'm tired and sluggish all the time. Well...duh! Wake up and smell the coffee, Debbie! So today when hubby suggested fried potatoes with the ham steak I've set out I reminded him how awful we feel after eating fried food. So, a baked potato will replace it.\nDebbie...All \"Fuel for the Body Matters\" did for me is make me hungry....Nancy;)\nP.S. Of course, eating the right kinds of food is beneficial to all of us but I don't think it's the only thing that gives us the energy we want/need. I believe we need to add a bit of physical exercise to the program.\nI know you're right Nancy and I envy those folks who have that kind of dicipline.

        "raw_content": "This might be a two-parter. I'm not sure how long your (or my own, for that matter) attention span is.\nJust bear with me. I'm about to tell you a tale.\nLast fall, a man called me at work. Well, not me personally, but I was in charge that day so I got to take the phone call. This guy proceeded to tell me that his wife had lost her wedding ring while they were sitting on the patio. It was a priceless family heirloom that had been passed down in his family from generation to generation. It was also a very rare diamond or something of that nature and worth a lot of money. So while it was priceless to him, it was also very, very expensive for anyone else. He desperately needed to find it.\nThe only problem is that his wife had lost it a month prior to this phone call. She had just told him the night before. On an airplane. After a two week tropical vacation. There was already snow on the patio here.\nI told him I'd take a look around and check the safe to see if anything had been turned in, but the chances of it being found were slim to none. When the night manager got in, I told her about the phone call and this she said, \"That woman called again? She was up here a month ago and spent an hour looking for it on the patio. And has called every four days since. I'm sorry, but that ring is gone. Or buried under six inches of snow. Either way, there's nothing we can do.\"\nThen I remembered seeing this woman and a friend looking for something on the patio one day as I was leaving. She lost the ring, knew her husband would be (rightfully) furious, but didn't want to say anything because she didn't want to ruin their upcoming vacation. Instead, she hid it from him for a month and opted to tell him on a crowded airplane, where he couldn't make a scene on the way home from what I can only imagine was the greatest vacation this guy has ever been on.\nNow I'm sure she felt horrible, but what's the next step after that? Do you replace the ring with a new one? Does this man ever forgive his wife? Does he say he forgives her but resents her a little bit for the rest of their lives?\nAbout three weeks later, I was at Green Street on Halloween (Green Street, if you don't know is a place where only complete douchebags hang out. It was Halloween and we thought it might make for a funny/slightly more interesting evening than whatever else we could come up with). I had been thinking about those questions off and on ever since and as I leaned against the long table against the back wall, I looked over to my right and saw a man's wedding ring. It was sitting on a cocktail napkin all by itself. There were no drinks, wallets, phones, jackets or anything else on the table. Just a lone ring that someone had taken off because he probably wanted to cheat on his wife without looking like a complete asshole.\nSo I took it.\nI picked it up, put it in my pocket and left.\nThe way I looked at it was, if this guy is going to be enough of a prick that he leaves his wedding ring unattended on a table at fucking Green Street while he tries to hook up with drunk college girls, he deserves to explain that to his wife. On the way to my car, I saw a homeless guy and gave it to him. He probably pawned it two days later for heroin or beer.\nBoth of these stories got me thinking a lot about marriage and how I have no real desire to take that plunge any time soon.\nBut more than anything else, the biggest reason I don't think marriage is in my near future?\nBecause I fucking hate reality television.\nSure, I've lost a few hours here and there to Road Rules/Real World challenge just like anyone else. But just about every other reality show on TV I cannot stand. And it's come to my attention that once you're married, that's what you do. Your life ends up revolving around which show is on what night.\nI have a lot of married friends and I support them with all my heart. I'm glad they found what they were looking for and hope they stay together for a long time. And I hope none of them ever take their wedding ring off and hide it at a bar or lose it and wait a month to fess up to it.\nI also hope they all stop telling me what happened on Dancing With The Stars last night. Or who they picked to win American Idol or The Bachelor. Or asking me if I caught last nights episode of The Biggest Loser. I didn't see it. And I don't care who wins.\nSurrendering my life to reality TV is the biggest obstacle between me and a Happily Ever After. Well, that and a few other things. But one step at a time, right?\nLabels: TV, writings",

        "raw_content": "Phantoms fall to Tri-City in early OT goal\nYOUNGSTOWN \u2014 The Youngstown Phantoms lost, 2-1, just 18 seconds into overtime to the Tri-City Storm off a goal by Tri-City center Sam Hentges.\nThe Phantoms finish 0-1-1-0 on the two-game series after Friday\u2019s 5-1 loss to the Storm. This loss puts the Phantoms to 14-13-4-1 on the season after they suffered their third loss in a row.\nLosing in overtime still gains them a point in the standings, however, moving them to fifth in the United States Hockey League Eastern Conference. Despite the recent struggles, Phantoms coach Brad Patterson sees bright spots in this team and expects the goals to come shortly.\n\u201cYou play like they did tonight, and I\u2019m not concerned about it. It\u2019s gonna come, you don\u2019t go three or four games and only get a goal in each game.\u201d Patterson said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough while we\u2019re in it, but with the resiliency and the heart of those guys night after night, it\u2019s going to turn around quick.\u201d\nThe lone goal for the Phantoms was scored on the power play in the first period by captain and University of New Hampshire commit Eric Esposito, with assists from Yale commit and regarded 2018 NHL Draft prospect Curtis Hall. Esposito netted his eighth goal on the season with that strike. Tying the game midway through the second period for the Storm was Hentges on a one-timer, also on the power play.\nThe Phantoms\u2019 defense put up a solid effort in the loss. Phantoms goalie and Chicago Blackhawks draft pick Wouter Peeters made 25 saves on the night, and defenseman Julian Kislin made a couple key plays to keep the puck out of the net and send the game into overtime.\nNext weekend the Phantoms have a three-game set with a back-to-back-to-back. Friday night in Muskegon they face off against the Lumberjacks, and they return home to face the Dubuque Fighting Saints in a two-game series on Saturday and Sunday.",

However, in Canada there\u2019s a third certainty \u2013 you cannot write a Will for another person, pure and simple.\nIt doesn\u2019t matter whether you have a representation agreement for the person, a power of attorney, or even a Committeeship, as executing Will is deemed to be a personal action \u2013 like marriage \u2013 you can\u2019t do it on someone else\u2019s behalf.\nIn order for a person to do a Will, he or she must be able to do three key things:\nUnderstand the nature of the document (ie. \u201cit\u2019s a piece of paper which describes who gets my stuff when I die\u201d. Which includes the related question \u2013 what does it mean to \u201cdie\u201d.);\nAppreciate the nature of your financial/moral obligations (ie. \u201cI have a son and a daughter. My son is four years old and is completely dependant on me. I have a legal obligation to support him. My daughter is 22 years old, has a decent job, and I don\u2019t help her financially anymore \u2013 she survives on her own.\u201d); and\nAppreciate the nature of your finances (ie. \u201cI have a house worth about $400K, a mortgage of about $120K, and about $600 in my bank account.\u201d)\nIf a person is not able to appreciate these three things, they are not deemed to have \u201ctestamentary capacity\u201d. As a result, they\u2019re not legally capable of making a Will. Curiously, a person can be completely delusional \u2013 absolutely convinced that he IS the disposed King of England \u2013 but as long as he knows that the paper he is signing will give all of his stuff to his spouse when he dies, knows he has two grown, independent children, and knows he co-owns a $570K condo, has no mortgage, and has $3500 in the bank, he can make a Will.\nWithout a Will, property is distributed according to the Estate Administration Act. The EAA states that first, it goes to the person\u2019s spouse. If there is a spouse and natural or adopted children, the first $65K goes to the spouse, the remainder is divided between the spouse and the children.). If no spouse, then to the children. If no children, to the parents. No parents, to the brothers and sisters. No siblings, to nieces and nephews. . . and onwards.\nThis can create a significant problem when a person has significant assets \u2013 such as a home in their own name \u2013 and no testamentary capacity.\nMy question in this situation is \u2013 if your son doesn\u2019t have the capacity to make a Will, how does he have the capacity to sign the property transfer documents if his house needs to be sold? It could be a significant issue if there is a need to sell the house in the future.\nIf your son doesn\u2019t have the capacity to make a will, the only way to avoid the above statutory scheme is to have the asset in a trust, with a named residual beneficiary (someone who gets the remains of the trust when your son passes on). Unfortunately, if the home is already registered in his name, it is usually a bit late to get it into a trust!",

        "raw_content": "Buy A Sonic Antifouling System\nSonic antifouling is considered by professionals to be the future of antifouling for a variety of reasons. The simple one-off installation required means that boat lovers can spend less time with messy paints and more time enjoying life on the water. Your sonic antifouling system will quickly pay for itself if you consider the costs saved of the lift in and out of the water. Further more \u2013 no holes will need to be drilled in the hull.\nGo To The Product Selector To Find The Appropriate Sonic Solution For Your Boat\nThe sonic antifouling system, Ultra 10 (for boats up to 10m) or Ultra 20 (for boats up to 20m) just needs to be bonded to the inside of the hull, using a pre-threaded fixing ring. The transducer is then simply screwed into the ring and the cable run to the control box. The control box is attached by 4 screws to any bulkhead leaving you to connect to a power source \u2013 either mains or DC.\nYour hull will remain clear of growth and therefore allow you to maintain your maximum speed. It will also help to keep clear all those underwater areas that are critical to the performance of your boat.. ie speed log impellors, water intakes for engine and aircon units, props and running gear.\nSave on your fuel costs\nMake substantial fuel savings, particularly for motor boats. Pushing a heavily fouled hull through the water takes considerably more power than a clean one which has much less resistance. It can take up to 20% more fuel to push a dirty hull through the water. An Ultrasonic antifoul system will pay for itself!\nGreen Antifouling\nYou\u2019ll be doing your bit as there are no pollutants associated with this method of preventative antifouling. It is also completely harmless to humans and animals.\nHow do I choose which Ultra I need?\nThere are two sizes available, the Ultra 10 which is suitable for boats with a waterline length of up to 10 metres. This is supplied with one transducer and is suitable for both sail and power boats.\nThe Ultra 20 is suitable for boats with a waterline length of up to 20 metres and comes with two transducers, which should be sited equidistantly along the centreline of the hull within reason. This unit is also highly suitable for catamarans.\nThe main consideration is the waterline length when choosing the correct model for your boat. The siting of the transducers is very straightforward as they are fixed to a convenient place on the inside of the boat\u2019s hull.\nAll units are available in either DC (12-32 volts) or AC (100-240 volts) and now the Smart switching Dual voltage system.",

        "raw_content": "JOBS-Innovation At It's Core-Unhinged Reviews\nSteve Jobs definitely left his digital footprint on the monitors and hearts of many with his forever innovative creations.\n\"Jobs\" is an awesome film loosely detailing some of the early successes that he found as a rising trailblazer in the world of computer technology. Ashton Kutcher was chosen to play the role of Steve in this biopic, which just also happens to be his highly anticipated comeback.\nWith more than 70s style hair and tight pants riding on this one, Kutcher delivers a smash that brings the world of Apple to the big screen. Let's boot up the laptop and Unhinge this insightful film.\nNow as most of you have witnessed already,\nthere's a lot of negative talk and controversy circling around the truth of this film. To be frank, only Jobs and those closest to him around that time will ever truly know what happened, so let's enjoy the film for what it is..Entertainment.\nBeing that this movie isn't a \"fictional\" account of some character, we don't feel it's necessary to really swing around the plot line, so let's enter the center. Jobs is a film that gives you a little more insight about the man behind the plan, it goes beneath the black shirt to show that it wasn't all peaches and cream. Steve was a man just like anyone else with doubts and faults that some understood, while others misunderstood. One thing that stands out about the portrayal of Jobs is that he never gave up, even when the chips were down. Success or failure, Jobs followed his vision even when others abandoned him for the security of conformity.\nThe most intriguing aspect of this movie is the intensity that propelled Jobs throughout his life. Steve was a Do'er, \"if anyone's seen \"Pain and Gain\" they'll know what that means\", he followed his ideas to the finish. This is the point where you'll hear a lot of the bitter naysayers complaining about \"they did this\" and \"he didn't do that\", how about \"It's done\"! Can we just move forward and you keep playing your ipod touch while surfing the net on your mac? Sorry about that, just had to address the haters for a second, now let's continue forward.\nAs stated earlier, Kutcher's portrayal of Steve is exceptional to say the least. Everything from Steve's passionate gaze to the awkward walk are all there in Ashton's actions throughout the presentation. Judging by the flow of the movie, it seems that Jobs may have also had a touch of OCD with some personality issues, but hey \"He made some great gadgets didn't he\"? Now that's just our speculation, but overall we feel the film was solid as a whole. \"Jobs\" also contains depictions and mentions of some of the origianl crew that helped him build his amazing company, but ultimately the film revolves around the main attraction, Jobs.\nNow with that said, we'd like to invite those of you that have seen this film or are planning to see this film to help us continue the conversation, below. What are your thoughts about the movie? Is it an accurate account or overly exaggerated depiction of Steve's life? Did Ashton do Jobs justice in his performance?\nShare this review with others, so that we can explore Jobs and Apple to the core!",

More specifically, this paper reviews the development of the social sector through an analysis of the key social indicators for selected high growth developing countries. A second aim of this paper is to review social development policies adopted by some of these high growth developing economies. The main motivation for undertaking this review of policies and strategy is twofold: (1) to investigate the existence of any commonalities in social development policies; and (2) to provide a set of policies, as varied as they may be, that could be used by other developing countries to stimulate the growth of their social sector.",

Michigan eliminated the top seed in the conference tournament for the second time in as many years and hopes to advance to the championship game for the first time since 2014. D.J. Wilson led the way with 26 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots to lift the Wolverines past Purdue for the second time in two weeks. Zak Irvin added 13 points and seven rebounds, including the game-tying basket with 4.2 seconds left to send the game to overtime.\nMinnesota advanced to the semifinals for the first time in seven years following a hard-fought 63-58 victory against fifth-seeded Michigan State on Friday. The Golden Gophers have won nine of their last 10 games and turn their attention to beating Michigan for the second time this season after an 83-78 overtime victory in Minneapolis on Feb. 19. Reggie Lynch, who was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year earlier in the week, scored a team-high 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting and blocked five shots against Michigan State. Amir Coffey added 13 points and Jordan Murphy produced 10 points and 13 rebounds to notch his third double-double in the last four games.\n* Michigan is 4-0 ATS in its last four neutral site games.\n* Minnesota is 5-1 ATS in its last six games overall.\n* Under is 7-1 in Michigan\u2019s last eight neutral site games.\n* Over is 7-1 in Minnesota\u2019s last eight games following a SU win.\nNorthwestern Wildcats vs. Wisconsin Badgers (-4.5, 124)\nThe Wildcats advanced to the semifinals for the first time in the 20-year history of this event with Friday\u2019s 72-64 victory over third-seeded Maryland, taking control of the game in the second half thanks to a 20-2 run and 25 points off 14 turnovers by the Terrapins. Bryant McIntosh, who fueled Friday\u2019s upset with 16 points and six assists, played an even bigger role in Northwestern\u2019s 66-59 victory over the Badgers on Feb. 12, finishing with 25 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. McIntosh (team-high 14.6 points, league-best 5.4 assists), who has averaged 26.5 points per game in his last two games against Wisconsin, took most of the offensive load upon himself in last month\u2019s meeting, shooting 10-for-23 from the field as second-leading scorer Scottie Lindsey (14.1 points) was sidelined with mononucleosis.\nThat loss to the Wildcats triggered a 1-5 stretch for Wisconsin, but the Badgers appear to be back on track after beating No. 10 seed Indiana 70-60 in Friday\u2019s quarterfinals. The win was a second straight since the slide for Wisconsin, which will attempt to the reach the Big Ten tournament title game for the seventh time. On the same day he joined Frank Kaminsky as the only Badger to be named a finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award (nation\u2019s best center), Ethan Happ (13.9 points, 9.1 rebounds) posted his ninth double-double of the season Friday with 14 points and 12 boards. Bronson Koenig (team-high 14.2 points) led Wisconsin with 16 points against Indiana and has picked up his play on the offensive end over the last five contests, averaging 19.2 points in that span.\n* Northwestern is 5-1 ATS in its last six neutral site games.\n* Wisconsin is 1-5 ATS in its last six games following a ATS win.\n* Under is 10-3 in Northwestern\u2019s last 13 neutral site games.\n* Under is 11-1 in Wisconsin\u2019s last 12 neutral site games.",

The letter envisaged that a contract would be entered into that would incorporate JCT 98 and the ensuing contract did incorporate JCT 98, including its adjudication provisions. A dispute arose that was referred to adjudication by the contractor. The adjudicator made an award in favour of the contractor in his second decision. The contractor applied to the court to enforce the award. The flat owners resisted enforcement on the ground that the adjudication provisions in JCT 98 were unfair terms for the purposes of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.\nThe Court of Appeal rejected this ground on the basis that there was no lack of openness, fair dealing or good faith in the manner in which the contract came to be made. Judge Moseley in Lovell Projects v Legg and Judge Thornton in Westminster Building Company Limited v Beckingham both found, in cases where the terms had been imposed on the contractors (or suppliers) by the employers' (or consumers') architect, that the terms caused no significant imbalance to the employers (the consumers) and that there was no question of any lack of good faith or fair dealing by the contractors (the suppliers) in the circumstances in which the contracts came to be made. The flat owners faced exactly the same difficulties as did the consumers in the Lovell and Beckingham cases insofar as it was the flat owners (the consumers) who, acting through their surveyor, imposed JCT 98 on the contractor (the supplier) by the surveyor specifying the use of that standard form of contract in his original invitation to tender. The suggestion that there was any lack of good faith or fair dealing by the contractor was wrong insofar as: (1) If the contractor was to tender at all, it was being asked by the flat owners to tender on the very terms about which the flat owners complained to the court (2) It was not for the contractor to take the matter up with the flat owners and to ensure that they knew what they were doing and (3) The flat owners knew that they had the benefit of the services of a professional to advise them of the effects of the terms on which they were inviting tenders.",

Digital activity will be geo-targeted internationally, while print ads are directed at Scandinavian communities within the United States who have the propensity to visit the USVI during the Centennial year in 2017.\nIn an effort to attract more visitors to the territory, the D.O.T. has also launched a number of promotions, including a NICE promotion for the summer, fall and winter seasons. Other promotions will be targeted to Dine VI, the Centennial, MICE, and the Caribbean and Military markets. There is also a Family Reunion promotion, designed to encourage [US] Virgin Islanders living outside the territory to return home to reunite with their loved ones. All promotions are being tied into all overarching marketing activities.\nThe public relations program will continue to focus on securing coverage in national, regional and multicultural media outlets to promote St. Croix, St John and St Thomas. The programme will incorporate media relations activity, including news releases promoting destination news and offerings, media interviews for key DOT spokespersons, as well as proactive outreach (i.e. one-on-one deskside meetings and media pitching).\nThe department has executed a strong PR program for Fiscal Year 2016, with a YTD public relations value of more than $11 million. This included feature placements in the Miami Herald, AFAR and NBCNews.com, as well as broadcast coverage on WCCO (CBS Minneapolis), WSB-AM (Atlanta), WAVS 1170 AM (Miami) and WPFW-FM 89.3 (Washington, DC).\nFollowing the success of the Washington, DC in-market activation, which was planned to support the department\u2019s participation in the National Association of Black Journalists/National Association of Hispanic Journalists joint convention and has already generated an estimated value of more than $195,000 (which represents a return on investment of 9:1), the department will host events in Orlando and Maryland during the next three months. In addition to promoting the territory to members of the media, DOT will meet with travel agents, meeting planners, as well as USVI Tourism Ambassadors in those markets.\nThe department will amplify its media hospitality program by hosting journalists from top national, regional and multicultural publications to generate awareness through feature stories that showcase various facets of the destination. Plans are in the works to host a group of media from leading culinary, travel and lifestyle media for the upcoming Dine VI, which will take place on all three islands from October 27 to November 12, 2016.\nThe department\u2019s sales team has been deeply engaged this summer, hosting five groups of travel agents from Atlanta, the Mid-Atlantic, the Midwest, New England and the Southeast. The team is also conducting reservations sales training with JetBlue Vacations in Orlando and Utah and for other agents in Northwest Illinois, Maryland, Norfolk and Richmond, Virginia, as well as Madison, Wisconsin. Additionally, DOT will host a webinar on the territory\u2019s gastronomic appeal for Virtuoso agents.\nSeptember\u2019s schedule includes hosting tour operators and journalists from Denmark, visits to Detroit, Ohio and Toronto, as well as participation in the Apple Vacations annual trade show and product launch in Chicago, Delta Vacations\u2019 trade show in Atlanta, and the AAA bridal show in Burlington, Massachusetts.\nIn October, the team participates in IMEX America, the largest hosted buyer program in North America, attracting thousands of buyers and exhibitors from the U.S. and around the world. Sales calls and training are also set for Boston, Connecticut, Indianapolis, Michigan and St Louis, and participation in the Posh Travel consumer trade show in New Hampshire has been confirmed.\nThe team will also head to Puerto Rico to participate in the 23rd Annual FCCA Cruise Conference & Trade Show to promote the Territory\u2019s cruise ports and offerings. For this event, the Department of Tourism will subsidise registration for tour operators and attractions, giving local partners invaluable access to decision makers who plan shore excursions for cruise passengers.\nThe DEMA (Diving Equipment & Marketing Association) Dive Show in Las Vegas is a key November activity and will be supported by sales calls and agency training in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio, and Grand Rapids, Michigan. The team will also participate in the VSTA Trade Show in Vermont.\nIn a continued effort to increase airlift to the Territory, the Department of Tourism has announced new and additional service on Delta and United Airlines, bringing an increasing number of seats to St Croix and St Thomas during the fall and winter seasons.\nDelta Air Lines will inaugurate a daily service from Atlanta to St Croix for three weeks over the peak Christmas holiday season. The Atlanta-based carrier will augment twice weekly winter service from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to Henry E. Rohlsen Airport with daily flights from December 17, 2016 through January 7, 2017. The airline also will operate a third weekly flight between Atlanta and St. Croix during the first quarter of 2017. The new Monday service will begin on January 9 and continue through March 27, supporting Saturday and Wednesday flights.\nDelta has also expanded service to St Thomas for the winter travel season. The new flights will operate between Boston Logan International Airport and Cyril E. King International Airport from February 18 to July 22, 2017.\nFollowing the success of daily nonstop service from Washington, DC, to St. Thomas this summer, United Airlines has announced daily flights from the DMV area (District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia) this winter season. The new flights will operate between Washington Dulles International Airport and Cyril E. King International Airport from Friday, December 16, 2016, through Monday, April 23, 2017.\nAdditionally, United has announced that it will operate a weekly Saturday service from George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas to St Thomas for four weeks during the end-of-year holiday period. The service will start on Saturday, December 17, 2016, and run through Saturday, January 7, 2017.\nMore positive airlift news is the return of Norwegian Airlines\u2019 weekly service from Copenhagen, Denmark to St Croix. The service, which will run from November 2016 through April 2017, will attract visitors from Scandinavia and throughout Europe to experience the history, culture and strong Danish influences throughout the island.\nDeepening its outreach into the film industry remains a priority for DOT. The team is working on three major productions through the end of the calendar year in addition to hosting an international film crew from Denmark in November. The Department will also attend stateside trade shows and events that appeal to and attract the film, advertising and new media communities.\nThis month, the Department will resume its customer service training sessions for hundreds of tourism stakeholders from across the US Virgin Islands. The training will be led by one of the world\u2019s leading experts in service excellence, Bryan Williams, a USVI native and dynamic keynote speaker, consultant and author. Dr Williams will deliver sessions for airport representatives, supervisors, general employees and taxi operators on both St Croix and St Thomas.\nThe Department will also launch the \u201cTaxi Text To Win\u201d program next month to incentivize and motivate taxi operators to provide exceptional service. Each month, the program will reward taxi operators who receive the most positive feedback for excellent service. The prizes will be awarded to one taxi operator on each island.\nMrs Nicholson-Doty expressed confidence that this comprehensive approach, in partnership with the territory\u2019s tourism stakeholders, will help deliver promising returns to the territory as measured by visitor arrivals and combined direct and indirect economic impact.\n10 Responses to \u201cUSVI to invest over $2M in tourism for next 3 months\u201d\nSuper!

Off on another strange jog through Carin\u2019s mind.\nI had the TV on, and this commercial came on for this new weird thing that some company has that makes air fresheners. Anyway it\u2019s a disk and you put it in this special machine and press a button and it somehow sprays out five different scents, a half hour for each scent.\nOk that doesn\u2019t seem too weird. But here\u2019s where I get kinda freaked out. They call it \u201cscent stories\u201d. And they talk about how they tell you a story with scents. Ok, no. it\u2019s not a story without words, music, or at the very least, pictures. You cannot tell a story with scents, especially not one smell for a half hour. That\u2019s one slow moving story. It would be like me sitting here for a half hour going \u201cOnce upon a time, once upon a time, once upon a time, once upon a time\u2026\u201d\nI think this is the part where I got freaked out. Someone actually said on the commercial, \u201cI never get bored.\u201d Ok wait a minute. You can sit there and sniff the same thing for a half hour and not get bored? Maybe that smell is going straight to your brain. Maybe it\u2019s not just a smell. Maybe you\u2019d be just as amused by a show about rainforest animals viewed close up with a wide angle lens wearing hats. Ok South Park reference, but I think you get the picture. I just have to wonder, the really evil part of me, whether there\u2019s something else in these scents that we don\u2019t want to know about.\nAnd here\u2019s where it gets really creepy for me. It makes me think of the book \u201cBrave New world\u201d. Anybody remember the feelies? The mindless movies where the people could feel everything..and the scent organs played? And there was more emphasis placed on making the scent organs and the sensations good so the people wouldn\u2019t think? Well now we have scent organs! Aaa!\nI don\u2019t seriously think air-freshener companies are out to brainwash us, but it sorta makes me go, what the hell? Am I going nuts? Will they be coming to take me away, ha ha? What do you guys think?\nIt is extremely difficult to whistle Christmas songs while taking a piss. More later.\nSo. We got a new front door at our house the other day. Ummm..... it's\u2026",

DW\nSouth Africa\u2019s National Assembly has given the green light to change the constitution on the issue of land distribution, making way for land expropriation without compensation for the previous owners. The lawmakers agreed to establish a committee of 25 people, representing all parliamentary parties, to flesh out and introduce a new bill on land reform.\nThe lawmakers also set a date at the end of March 2019 for the committee to present its first report to parliament.\nAfter taking over from former president Jacob Zuma in early 2018, President Cyril Ramaphosa vowed to speed up reforms ahead of the general elections in 2019. Ramaphosa has repeatedly assured South Africans and the international community that the country won\u2019t face a repeat of the land evictions witnessed in neighboring Zimbabwe in the early 2000s.\nMore than 20 years after the end of apartheid, race and land ownership in South Africa remain sensitive issues. More than 70 percent of agricultural land is still owned by the white minority, compared to four percent in the hands of black farmers.\nRead more: South Africa is more unequal than ever, 20 years after post-apartheid TRC\nUrban areas and social justice\nAccording to President Ramaphosa, land which has not yet been used should be given precedence for expropriation. The greatest need, however, is not for agricultural land but for urban areas on the outskirts of major cities. \u201cMany more people are moving to the cities to find work, but they cannot afford housing there and the government realizes that the plight of these people and the slums has been growing for years,\u201d Anton van Dalsen from the Helen Suzman Foundation in South Africa told DW.\nPrevious post Australia passes law forcing tech firms to hand over encrypted data\nNext post AnalysisTheresa May could still get her Brexit deal through Parliament.

Alumni say they have been raising money to purchase a trophy case and a new costume.\nIstrouma grad Wayne Messina pitched the idea hoping to have the Indian restored, so that it can remain on display for the public to view by spring.\n\"We probably didn't realize at the time Nawaganti was not real,\" said Wayne Messina, 1964 graduate of Istrouma High. \"He was to us, and I guess that's where our pride comes from in our school.\"It's absolutely amazing it lasted as long as it did.\"\nAlumni say they've raised more than $2,000, but still need $1,500 more to make the changes to the statue.\nIf you would like donate, you can donate to the class of 1964.

Around 1970 he began his professional music career, and it was at the Arkansas Folk Festival in the early 70\u2019s where Jay met Grand Ole Opry star Grandpa Jones who took a liking to Jay\u2019s upright bass playing. Grandpa Jones invited Jay to Nashville in October 1973 during the taping of Hee-Haw and hired him to play bass with his band throughout the latter half of the 1970\u2019s. Jay recorded his first record album using the hammered dulcimer in 1974, and three others followed. During this time Jay was also the opening act for several Nashville stars including Hank Snow, Ernest Tubb, Crystal Gayle, Little Jimmy Dickens, and Dotty West throughout the United States and Canada. In 1984-85 the United States Department of Defense hired Jay to join the band Trans-Mason-Dixon Interplanetary Pickers for an extended concert tour of military sites throughout Asia, northern Africa, and Europe. From the mid 80\u2019s to the mid 90\u2019s Jay became more involved with audio production, working the sound system for such well known acts as the Marshall Tucker Band, Captain and Tenille, Neil Sedaka, Frankie Valle and the Four Seasons, and many others.\nI Wanna Party Like Charlie Sheen YouTube\n\u201cI Wanna Party Like Charlie Sheen\u201d is straight from the mind and pen of Jay Round.

        "raw_content": "Grey River, NFLD\nEach year I organize trips to some of the best water in the world. If you are interested in fishing the Grey River for Atlantic's than please contact me.\nIf you want to check out the Lodge online the web address is: www.flyfishinggreyriver.com\nThe dates for this year are from June 18th to 23rd or from June 23rd to 28th. I have three rods still available on the second date and six rods available for the 18th to the 23rd. In total the lodge holds 8 anglers. The cost for the 5 day trip is $3,800 per person, which includes lodging, guides, food and the helicopter from Deer Lake to the lodge (and back of course!).\nNot included are tips, alcohol (can be ordered in advance by emailing the owner, Tony Tuck) and license, which is available for purchase at the lodge on arrival and over nights at the Deer Lake Motel.\nNormally, I arrive in Deer Lake the day before the start of the trip and over night at the Deer Lake Motel. The lodge arranges for a taxi to meet guests at the airport and transport to the motel. The taxi returns the next morning to take guests to the helicopter terminal. Taxis also look after the return as well. If everything worked flawlessly, it is possible to get from the lodge, back to Deer Lake and a return flight on the departure day. Personally, I always count on another overnight in Deer Lake on the way out. Weather can play havoc with helicopter flights and cause delays in both directions.\nThe fishing has been generally quite good over the years. The fish are not huge, but they are strong and are primarily top water takers. I would guess that 75% to 85% of fish are taken either with the dry fly or hitched fly. These two weeks, by the way are strictly catch and release. For equipment, it's as you might expect; 8 weight rods, floating lines and plenty of blue charms. The lodge has a very large supply of flies, but does not have lines or leaders in stock. Waders are recommended although it is possible to fish several pools without them. There are roughly 9 pools within a 5 minute walk of the lodge. There are numerous pocket pools and very large pools down river (approximately 15 to 20 minute walk on a pathway through the woods). And for the adventurous, there are another 6 to 12 pools \"up river\", which are reached via a 45 to 60 minute walk. Each day, two anglers have the option of doing a full \"day trip\" up river with a guide, packing a lunch and spending the day up river. Otherwise, we fish in the morning from 8:00 until noon, then in the afternoon from about 2:00 until 5:00 and again in the evening from about 6:30 until dark.\nAnd, yes, bugs are in abundance. I use lots of repellent, which is available at the lodge, or cigars. Thankfully, once in the lodge, one is safe from the bugs.\nThe two weeks we have are considered two prime weeks. The second one is safer, in that there are always fish in the river by then. However, I have always had my best fishing during the first week; the fish are fresher and generally just in from the ocean.The run usually starts around the 10th to 15th of June and the run hits it's stride during the 18th to 23rd. There are usually enough fresh fish coming in each day that it is possible to maintain the fishing schedule I mentioned, without killing the pools.\nFishing in Iceland July 2011\nIceland continues to be one of the Meccas for Atlantic Salmon Fishing. This year we will be fishing two spectacular rivers: the Sela and the Hofsa rivers located in Northern Iceland.\nThe Sela has established itself as one of Iceland\u2019s best and most desired salmon rivers. It is a big river by Icelandic standards. It is fast flowing, rocky and challenging and exciting to fish. Its salmon are also on average, bigger than typical for Iceland and the river produces several twenty pound plus salmon each season. It is a wonderful river located in the northeast, just north of the village of Vopnafjordur. The fishing on the Sela is strictly fly only and catch and release.\nThe Hofsa is also one of the \u201cbig\u201d northeast rivers and one of the two major Vopnafjordur rivers, the other being the Sela. The Hofsa has different characteristics than the Sela. It has a long canyon near the upper beats, a dramatic set of falls and a series of challenging pools as the river cascades down the canyon. But once the canyon ends, the river turns into an almost endless string of long slow flowing pools, each one more enticing and inviting than the last one.\nWe fish the Hofsa from the 13th to the 15th of July (midday to midday) and then go directly over to the Sela from the 15th to the 18th of July (midday to midday).\nBecause of the size of the rivers and the length of the day of fishing (there is almost 20 to 22 hours of daylight) we generally only reserve one rod to be shared by two anglers throughout the day. The daily cost includes accommodations and meals, but does not include transportation to and from the river and guiding, both of which are easily arranged.\nThe cost for the Hofsa is $1,500 per single rod per day and the Sela costs $2,800 per single rod per day. Again, this does not include transportation and guiding. Two people sharing a rod is standard practise, making the cost acceptable.\nSeveral gateway cities have direct flights to Rykjavyk via Iceland Air. When we last checked, Toronto, Boston, NY, Halifax, London and several others were serviced. From Rykjavyk, we either use a domestic flight to head north or rent a vehicle and drive there.\nWe would recommend arriving in Rykjavyk at least a day or two in advance of the start of fishing. It's a wonderful city and worth an overnight or two. It would also be advisable to overnight there on the return voyage.\nIceland in July is very pleasant from a weather perspective. Tempuratures are generally in the 15 to 22 degree celsius range, although like most places, be prepared for rain and cooler evenings. There are almost no bugs in Iceland and virtually no predatory animals (bears, wolves, large cats, etc). The one important thing to keep in mind in planning this trip is that Iceland has strict rules about disinfecting all fishing gear prior to arrival or use in their rivers. Check the website for the Iceland government for details on this procedure and where to get it done. As a last option, the airport in Rykjavyk has a facility for doing this, if you cannot produce a certificate on arrival.\nHere are some web sites to check: www.sela.is; www.Iceland.is/travel-and-leisure/practicalinfo.\nPlease contact me if you would like to join us.\nWild Marlin, Reviews of various locations and tournaments\nwww.newfoundlandsportsfishing.com, These fishing adventures take place at our Little Harbor Deep Lodge located on the Eastern side of the Northern Peninsula at the mouth of the White Bay.\nwww.islandsafaris.com A full service BIG GAME hunting and fishing outfitter in Springdale, NF",

        "raw_content": "Wildcat crews have participated in emergency response, recovery and cleanup activities throughout some of the worst natural disasters in the city\u2019s history.\nNYC 14th District City Council Member Fernando Cabrera with Wildcat Snow Removal Crew in the Bronx after Winter Storm Jonas\nIn January 2016 Winter Storm Jonas dumped almost 27 inches of snow on New York City, making it the second biggest storm in NYC history. Fortunately for many seniors and residents with disabilities, Wildcat crews were there to dig them out. Beginning early on the morning of Sunday January 24, the crews cleared snow from 245 residences in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. Over 50 crew members participated in the six-day snow removal effort, clearing doorways, driveways and sidewalks for residents.\nIn District 43, Brooklyn, Council Member Vincent Gentile urged residents prior to the storm to register with his office to receive Wildcat snow removal services. Resident Margaret Thompson, 43, expressed the sentiments of many residents in a letter to Council Member Gentile\u2013\u201cMy dad is 91 years old, has a pacemaker and suffers from severe arthritis. My sisters and I live an hour away. Hearing the sense of relief and happiness in his voice when he told me Wildcat crews had shoveled and salted his driveway was priceless. I truly and sincerely want to thank you for offering this valuable service to a very vulnerable population and for implementing it in an effective, professional and friendly manner!\u201d\nIn District 14, Bronx, Council Member Fernando Cabrera grabbed a shovel and helped Wildcat crews remove snow from residences in his district. \u201cWildcat is doing an outstanding job helping with snow removal for senior homeowners in District 14,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a much-needed service for a vulnerable population in our community, and I am proud to partner with them.\u201d\nOn October 29, 2012, Superstorm Sandy made landfall as one of the most destructive hurricanes in the nation\u2019s history, causing $70 billion in damage in 24 states. New York and New Jersey were the hardest hit, and New York City experienced significant flooding, closure of streets, tunnels and subway lines, and prolonged power blackouts.\nThroughout the storm, Wildcat teams and Fedcap Facilities Management employees supported essential services at NYC\u2019s homeless shelters and helped move residents to new sites. The teams supported essential services at the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) installation in New Jersey and other vital contract locations in New York and New Jersey. After the storm Wildcat crews helped clear water, mud and debris at locations including Hunter College and John Jay College in Manhattan, and several locations in hard-hit areas in the Rockaways and Coney Island.\nIn recognition for these critical and timely services Steve Coons, President of Fedcap Rehabilitation Services, Inc., received the following letter from Fern Vasile, then-Assistant Deputy Commissioner, Office of Contract, Budget Management and Personnel Services, NYC:\n\u201cOn October 29, 2012, New York City was hit with Super Storm Sandy, causing significant damage to several HRA locations. In the days and weeks following this disaster, HRA requested your services and, without delay, you responded. You assisted this Agency in providing essential services to needy New Yorkers.\u201d\n\u201cIt is clear that without the cooperation and commitment provided by your company, HRA\u2019s ability to quickly meet our demands would have been far more difficult to achieve, if not impossible.\u201d\n\u201cPlease accept this Agency\u2019s most sincere appreciation for your assistance during this crisis.\u201d",

An old woman starts on an adventure while she waits for her bread to rise. Boats pass her by and refuse to take her aboard until she threatens to curse them if they don't. The story then moves into two similar situations (perhaps two separate stories), in which the old woman is befriended by a wealthy family. The old woman soon discovers that the wives are being physically abused by their overly jealous husbands. The old woman kindly and cleverly speaks her truth to the men and starts to open their eyes. In one of the stories, she crafts a plan to make the man believe his wife is pregnant. Ultimately through the old woman's patience and belief in the \"Universe,\" the wife is given a child and all is well. By the time the old woman leaves, the women are no longer mistreated. In this story the old woman is assertive and threatening while also being patient, kind and compassionate. She knows through her long experience how to maneuver the world of relationship between men and women. She understands her own role within her culture and uses it well. The wise old woman is able to make the invisible (the unjust mistreatment of the wives) visible. As the reader we become aware of the hidden worth found within an unlikely source (an unexpected old woman who is their house guest). See a discussion of this tale in Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales.",

        "raw_content": "Just who is St Andrew?\nEveryone knows that St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. But you may not be aware that up in heaven, Scotland, Wales and England are equally loved and watched over by their own patron saints.\nThe Patron saint of Scotland is St Andrew, who has been protecting the Scots ever since his relics were brought to the country circa 733. On 30th November, Scots all over the world will be putting on their kilts, dancing reels and feasting on haggis and whisky. St Andrew, the brother of St Peter, spent most of his life spreading the gospel in Greece and Asia Minor. He was crucified by the Romans on the Greek island of Patras, and his bones were brought to Constantinople by the Christian emperor, Constantine. Legend has it that a few centuries later, another saint, St Rule, had a dream that told him to take St Andrew's remains, \"to the ends of the earth.\" St Rule's response - logical or not - was to take the bones to Scotland. The present Cathedral of St Andrew was originally built to house these sacred relics.\nActually, St Rule was only able to get hold of some of Andrew's remains - namely, a tooth, an arm bone, a kneecap and some fingers. The rest of Andrew's relics were stolen from Constantinople by Crusaders in 1210, who took them to the Southern Italian city of Amalfi. But St Andrew must have had an unusually large number of body parts, because it turns out that still more of his bones ended up in Rome. Pope Paul VI gave these as a gift to Scotland when he paid a visit to the country in 1969.\nSt Andrew's day is celebrated, like all good festivals, by eating and drinking. In the past Scottish men would set traps for rabbits and squirrels, an event which they called \"going Sanct-Andraing.\" On the day itself they would bring the meat home, cook a great feast and, of course, bring out the bagpipes.\nDuring the Scottish reformation in the 16th century, when Scotland became Calvinist, the idolatry of St Andrew was abandoned for several centuries. Nowadays, luckily, the growth of the tourist industry and interest in folk culture has meant that the Scots have once more started celebrating 30th November. At long last, St Andrew is making a comeback!",

We'll help you reconcile the two and have some fun with it. Check out these six fun facts about why checking out the US sex club scene is so much fun!\nThe Weather Varies A Lot: The weather in the US varies as much as the variety of sex clubs does. From places in the northern part of the country where you definitely get 4 seasons (and lets not forget Alaska!), to the deep south where snow simply isn't a thing (and lets not forget Hawaii, either!). You can bet that whatever the temperature is outside, it's always going to be hot inside of a US sex club.\nThe US Is One Of The World's Largest Countries:. It's also got quite a few people living there. It's 3.8 million square miles in size, and boasts a population of over 325 million people.

Spanish is an incredibly sexy language, and if you're going to be heading to a place where the language is widely spoken, you can bet the sex clubs will be hotter than most.\nThe Statue Of Liberty Technically Resides in New Jersey Yes, ladies and gentlemen, let the truth be told.

Not to worry, though. The two states actually made a deal back in the 1800's, and decided that the location of the statue would be credited to NYC, where you'll also find some of the hottest sex clubs in the US.\nThere Are More Barrels Of Whiskey Than There Are People In The State Of Kentucky Now, here's a way of thinking that a lot of people would be happy to get behind. In case you were wondering, there are over 4.4 million people who reside in the state of Kentucky, and well over 6.6 million barrels of whiskey. To put that into perspective, that means that there are approximately 1.5 barrels of whiskey for every person in the state of Kentucky. Sound like your kind of state? Well, chances are it very well could be, and it's also one of many incredibly fun states in the US south, where you can find some of the hottest sex clubs in the country, and hook up with some incredibly friendly people who are clearly dedicated to their whiskey, and who also know how to have s very seriously good time!\nThe Very Best Sex Clubs You'll Find Anywhere In The US\nSex clubs are something that have been around in general for a really long time.

Things might be done differently today than they once were, but the concept remains pretty much the same, and the idea is much more acceptable now than it once was. They've thrived for a very long time in the United States for many reasons. There are some stuffy folks in the US, but even more liberal folks who are open minded. The sex club has definitely been a thing for many decades. These clubs give newcomers a place where they can mix and mingle and become more acquainted with the scene before deciding how far they want to take their own action. Sex clubs have become more acceptable in the last couple of decades for sure, and they're giving people places where they can feel more open and comfortable about exploring their sexuality. The United States has definitely got some of the best sex clubs you'll find anywhere if you're a swinger looking to enjoy the very best of what the scene has to offer.\nSome countries around the world might be more well known for their sex clubs than others, but when it comes to the sex clubs you'll find in the United States, you're entering some pretty seriously territory.

They provide their members with everything they need including a complimentary buffet and an in-house DJ to get people moving.\nClub Sinz: Club Sinz is the main workaround for New Englanders and their region's truly medieval laws. Sadly, it's not even in Boston, or Massachusetts, but it's as close as can be, in New Hampshire about an hour north of the city. Oh, and it's not exactly a swingers club. There are some great shows here, and some hot action to watch, but contact between guests is strictly forbidden, and there are no private rooms or VIP areas to speak of. You're probably going to want to factor in the cost of a hotel in nearby Seabrook or Amesbury.\nPrivate Encounters: Private Encounters is a swingers group in Chicago that hosts parties at Couples Choice VIP House on the 2nd Friday of each month. Their sex parties cater to bisexual couples and singles who want to live out their most secret fantasies.

        "raw_content": "Winter, dead at 70, starred recently in Lawrence\nZurich (ap) \u2014 With his imposing height and flowing white hair, Texas blues guitarist Johnny Winter cut an intimidating figure as he roamed the stage. The guitarist died at age 70 on Wednesday in Zurich during a European tour, a passing that confirms a musician dedicated to exploring his muse until the end.\nLast month, Winter headlined the Free State Festival in Lawrence, where the Lawrence Arts Center screened a documentary film on his life.\n\u201cYou just got to work at it,\u201d Winter told the Journal-World of mastering blues guitar. \u201cI practiced six to eight hours (a day) when I first started. I don\u2019t practice at all anymore.\u201d\nA musician who rose out of East Texas in the 1960s to become an ambassador to a generation of young fans digging for American music\u2019s roots, Winter was the most visible Texas blues progenitor of the era, at least until his avowed disciples, brothers Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughn, took up the torch.\nWinter was best known for his string of albums released on Columbia Records in the years after label-mate (and one-time lover) Janis Joplin and her band Big Brother and the Holding Company proved the market ripe for a striking hotshot like Winter. After signing a multi-album contract that offered him lots of money, freedom and an avenue to fame \u2014 and helped land him a slot at Woodstock \u2014 the guitarist released a string of successful albums featuring both his own band and luminaries of classic Chicago blues.\nA nasty drug habit, though, sidelined Winter\u2019s career, as did his steadfast refusal to abandon blues for more commercial guitar rock sound as popularized by then-chart toppers such as the Rolling Stones and Peter Frampton.\nAfter Winter got clean, he returned to his chief role, one that consumed his life: celebrating the raw, imposing sound of electrified Texas blues, one more link in a chain of fretmen including Freddie King, Clarence \u201cGatemouth\u201d Brown and Johnny \u201cGuitar\u201d Watson. Winter went on to produce three Grammy-winning albums for blues icons Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker while continuing to record and tour.\n\u2014 The Journal-World contributed to this report.",

Somewhat unusually, the figurehead of this market is, this year again, a woman, and an artist at the height of her art... Cindy Sherman\".\n\u00c2 \u00c2 \u00c2 \u00c2 (Logo: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/644091/Artprice_Logo.jpg )\n\u00c2 \u00c2 \u00c2 \u00c2 (Photo: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/821437/Artprice.jpg )\n1. Cindy Sherman (1954) - United States\u00c2\nWith 18 lots already auctioned above the $1 million threshold, Cindy Sherman is one of the three unmissable artists in today's photography market. The prices of her photos have been gradually rising since 2012 and her market is particularly liquid with more than 60 photographs selling at auction per year and an unsold rate of just 20%.\n2. Richard Prince (1949) - US\u00c2 \u00c2\n3. Andreas Gursky (1955) - Germany\u00c2 \u00c2\n4. Wolfgang Tillmans (1968) - Germany\n$4,947,645 \u00c2\nSingle edition photographs from Tillmans' series\u00c2 Freischwimmer Einzelg\u00c3\u00a4nger\u00c2 and\u00c2 Greifber\u00c2 have been hugely successful over the last two years in auction rooms and now fetch over $600,000. Yet more than 60% of his photos still sell for under $50,000 at auction. Wolfgang Tillmans was discovered by the general public in 2000 after winning the Turner Prize. In 2017, he was offered a retrospective at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel.\n5. Irving Penn (1917-2009) -\u00c2 United States\u00c2 \u00c2\n6. Robert Mapplethorpe (1946-1989) -\u00c2 United States\u00c2 \u00c2\n7. Hiroshi Sugimoto (1948) - Japan\u00c2 \u00c2\nWhile the United States largely dominates the photography market, Germany, Japan and France are still very attached to this medium. Hiroshi Sugimoto has been the most successful Japanese photographer on the secondary market for the last 15 years. His maritime horizons - photographed all over the planet - form his most accomplished works and the works most appreciated by collectors. His major photos, in five editions, today fetch over $300,000.\n8. Richard Avedon (1923-2004) - United States\u00c2\n9. Ansel Easton Adams (1902-1984) - United States\u00c2\n10. Diane Arbus (1923-1971) - United States\u00c2\n11. Helmut Newton (1920-2004) - Germany\u00c2 \u00c2\nNewton is one of the rare major photographers to have hammered an auction record in 2018. The only known print of\u00c2 Panoramic Nude with Gun, Villa d'Este Como\u00c2 (1989) far exceeded Phillips' estimates in London on 18 May, fetching nearly a million dollars.\n12. Peter Beard (1938) -\u00c2 United States\u00c2 \u00c2\n13. Thomas Ruff (1958) - Germany\u00c2\n14. Barbara Kruger (1945) -\u00c2 United States\u00c2 \u00c2\n15. Gerhard Richter (1932) - Germany\u00c2\n16. Gustave Le Gray (1820-1884) - France\u00c2\nIn 2018 no less than 77 photographs by Gustave Le Gray were auctioned, with a peak price of $225,000. This performance makes Le Gray the most successful 19th century photographer - or, put another way - the photography market's leading historical figure. However, the prices of his works seem to be contracting.\u00c2 Boats leaving the port of Le Havre\u00c2 (1856-57), which had set a record $1,264,000 on 18 June 2011 at Rouillac (France), was resold for $965,000 on 17 February 2016 at Christie's in New York.\n17.\u00c2 Man Ray (1890-1976) - United States\u00c2\nThe year 2017 gave a substantial boost to Man Ray's market, notably by setting two successive records for his photographs. First\u00c2 Portrait of a tearful woman\u00c2 (1936) on 17 May 2017 in New York, and then\u00c2 Black\u00c2 and White\u00c2 (1926) on 9 November 2017 in Paris, acquired for $2.2 million and $3.1 million respectively. Although his best works were much rarer in 2018, Man Ray remains a pillar of the photography market.\n18. Edward Henry Weston (1886-1958) -\u00c2 United States\u00c2\n19. L\u00c3\u00a1szl\u00c3\u00b3 Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946) - Hungary\u00c2\n20. Robert Frank (1924) - Switzerland\u00c2\nAfter experiencing strong price growth just before the 2008 crisis, the value of Robert Franck's works has slowly stabilized. The price of his photos are still 2.5 times higher on average than 20 years ago, with results regularly exceeding $100,000.\nCopyright \u00c2\u00a92019 thierry Ehrmann -\u00c2 http://www.artprice.com\nTry our services (free demo):\nhttps://www.artprice.com/artist/23640/baishi-qi\nSubscribe to our services:\nhttps://www.artprice.com/subscription\nAbout Artprice:\u00c2 \u00c2\nArtprice is listed on the Eurolist by Euronext Paris, SRD long only and Euroclear: 7478 - Bloomberg: PRC - Reuters: ARTF.\nFounded by thierry Ehrmann (see Who's who certified Biography) (c)\u00c2 https://imgpublic.artprice.com/img/wp/sites/11/2018/10/bio-2019-whos-who-thierry-ehrmann.pdf).\nDicover Artprice in video:\u00c2 https://www.artprice.com/video\nArtprice is the global leader in art price and art index databanks.

The male Muslim population in Sweden has worked really hard to fit in to the customs and culture of the Swede\u2019s (pictured below is the aftermath of rioting by muslim men in the streets of Stockholm).\nThis German town renowned for its rococo palace threw open its doors to arriving waves of refugees.\nDonations from clothing drives filled four garages. The volunteer fire department pitched in to build a tent city at the airport that now teems with 1,400 migrants.\nBut like other Germans in a country that has rolled out the welcome mat for Europe\u2019s largest wave of asylum seekers since World War II, residents here are having second thoughts.\nThat is especially true after the riot. In this quaint municipality of 3,000 inhabitants, the chaos started at lunchtime Sunday when a 19-year-old Albanian cut in the food line at the town\u2019s new tent city, prompting a reprimand from a 43-year-old Pakistani.\nPushes degenerated into punches. Soon, 300 migrants wielding pepper spray and metal pipes were attacking each other in rival mobs.\nA caravan of ambulances and SWAT team vans careened down streets lined with gawking residents. More than 50 police officers struggled for hours to restore order, with three hospitalized with injuries, according to witnesses and local officials.\n\u201cYou know, when the refugees started coming, I was one of those who saw people needing help and I thought we have to help,\u201d said Harry Kloska, 46, a shaggy-haired instructor in the skydiving club based at the airport. He and his stunned clients huddled inside his office as the violence flared, Kloska said.\n\u201cBut it\u2019s been weeks [since the refugee camp opened], and I have a different opinion now,\u201d he said. \u201cI am not sure that we\u2019re going to be able to do this, to help so many people from so many different countries.\u201d Via:Washington Post\nh/t Refugee Resettlement Watch",

        "raw_content": "Farmington Missouri -According to the World Wildlife Foundation, \u201dWhen the gray wolf was reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, elk, the primary prey of the gray wolf, became less abundant, thus freeing certain areas from constant grazing. This respite has allowed willows, aspens, and cottonwoods to grow, and has created a new habitat for beaver, moose, and scores of other species. If one species in a food chain becomes extinct, it then creates a knock-off effect on other species. The loss of a main predator can actually cause the extinction of a prey species as greater competition presents a threat to a species.\u201d\nOk, truth be told, it makes my head spin too, but it\u2019s true all the same. We are all vitally interconnected with wildlife in ways we humans can\u2019t begin to understand.\nThe tiger, for example, are at the top of the food chain in all the ecosystems it which they live. As such, it keeps populations of deer, wild pig, antelope and newly introduced animals in check. Without the tiger to control them, these species abound. These new uncontrolled populations then totally ravage food sources and cause vegetation impact on human populations. Now consider this: the Bali tiger, the Javan tiger and the Caspian tiger all became extinct in the 20th century.\nThere is a local business owner who is making a difference to preserve the tiger population and the species as a whole. Joe Scott, owner of Crown Winery and Crown Ridge Tiger Sanctuary is providing a wonderful service to us all, as well as a mighty fine experience for local wildlife lovers. We met up with zoologist Jeri Wright, program director and care giver of the Crown Ridge Tiger Sanctuary (CRTS), to find out what\u2019s up with tigers in Missouri?\ncommodo quis vel, pulvinar risus vulputate, Nullam sem, consectetur",

Such consent shall be filed with the regular minutes of the Board.\n4.17. Notice of Adjournment. Notice of the time and place of holding an adjourned meeting need not be given to absent directors if the time and place be fixed at the meeting adjourned.\n4.18. Committees. Committees of the Board of Directors shall be standing or special. The Board of Directors or the President may refer to the proper committee any matter affecting the Association or any operations needing study, recommendation, or action. The Board may establish such standing or special committees as it deems appropriate with such duties and responsibilities as it shall designate, except that no committee has the power to do any of the things a committee is prohibited from doing under the NEW YORK Nonprofit Corporation Act. The Board shall appoint the members of such committees. Persons other than directors may be appointed to such committees and the Chair of each committee need not to necessarily be a director of the Association.\n5.1. Responsibility. All officers are subordinate and responsible to the Board of Directors.\n5.2. Number and Selection. The Board of Directors shall appoint a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer, and may appoint one or more Vice-Presidents, Assistant Secretaries, Assistant Treasurers, and such other officers as they may determine. Any two or more offices may be held by the same person except the offices of President, Secretary and Treasurer. The President and the Vice President, if any, must also be a director of the Association. Each officer shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified, or until the officer\u2019s resignation, death or removal. Vacancies in offices shall be filled by election by the Board of Directors at any time to serve unexpired terms.\n5.3. Resignation and Removal. The resignation of any officer shall be tendered in writing to any other officer and shall be effective as of the date stated in the resignation. Any officer may be removed during their term by majority vote of the Board of Directors whenever, in their judgment, removal would serve the best interests of the Association. Such removal shall terminate all authority of the officer, except that any rights to compensation and other perquisites shall depend on the terms of the officer\u2019s employment and the circumstances of removal.\n5.4. President. The President shall be the chief executive and operating officer of the Association, and subject to the direction and under the supervision of the Board of Directors, shall have general charge of the business affairs and property of the Association. The President shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors. The President shall have such other duties and responsibilities and may exercise such other powers as are usually incident to the office or as from time to time may be assigned by these Bylaws or the Board of Directors.\n5.5.

The Secretary shall cause to be kept at the principal office of the Association, the Secretary\u2019s principal place of business, or such other place as the Board of Directors may order, the official seal of the Association (if any), [the membership book] and a book of minutes of all meetings of directors and members.

The Board of Directors or the President may delegate all or part of the authority and duties of the Treasurer to subordinate officers.\n5.8. Salaries. The salaries of the officers, if any, of the Association shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may delegate to any officer the authority to fix the salary or other compensation of subordinate officers. No officer or subordinate officer shall be prevented from receiving such salary by reason of the fact that such officer is also a director of the Association. The Board of Directors may make provision for continuance, for a reasonable period, of a reasonable portion of the salary of any officer who may become disabled during their term of office.\n5.9. Annual Transition. To maintain Association continuity, officers whose terms of office have expired shall assure the orderly transition of authority to their successors before being relieved of their responsibilities. Similarly, officers whose terms of office have expired shall take all appropriate steps to substitute their successors on all of the Association\u2019s financial accounts and signature cards.\nADMINISTRATION OF DONATIONS\n6.1. Donations. All donations of any nature, unless designated for a specific purpose, shall be used for such purposes as the Board of Directors may direct; and in the absence of any direction by the Board, such may be used for the general purposes of the Association. Donations include bequests and devises of deceased persons. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the Association may raise revenues through fund-raising activities and donations. The Board of Directors has the right to refuse any donation made or offered to the Association with or without cause in its sole discretion.\n6.2. All Donations Subject to these Bylaws. Donors may make donations to or for the use of the Association by naming or otherwise identifying the Association in the gift transfer instrument. Each donor by making a donation to or for the use of the Association accepts and agrees to all the terms of these Bylaws. Further, each donor specifically provides that any fund created as a result of such donation shall be subject to the provisions in these Bylaws relating to the presumption of donor\u2019s intent, the variance from donor\u2019s directions, for amendments and dissolution, and to all other terms of these Bylaws as amended from time to time.\n6.3. Segregation of Funds. No donation shall be required to be separately invested or held unless the donor so directs, or it is necessary in order to follow any other direction by the donor as to purpose, investment or administration, or in order to prevent tax disqualification, or is required by law. However, the Board may segregate any fund whenever convenient or useful as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Directions for naming a fund as a memorial or otherwise may be satisfied by keeping under such name internal bookkeeping accounts reflecting appropriately the interest of such fund in each common investment.\n6.4. Improper Donor Directions. If any direction by the donor, however expressed, would, if followed, result in the use of any donation or fund contrary to the charitable purposes of the Association, or if the Board is advised by counsel that there is a substantial risk of such result, the direction shall not be followed, but shall be varied by the Board so far as necessary to avoid such result, except that if a donor has clearly stated that compliance with the direction is a condition of such donation, then the donation shall not be accepted in case of such advice unless an appropriate judicial or administrative body first determines that the condition and direction need not be followed. Reasonable charges and expenses of counsel for such advice and proceedings shall be proper expenses of administration.\n6.5. Changed Circumstances. Whenever the Board of Directors decides that conditions or circumstances are such or have so changed since a direction by the donor as to purpose, or as to manner of distribution or use, that literal compliance with the direction is unnecessary, undesirable, impractical or impossible, or the direction is not consistent with the Association\u2019s charitable purposes, it may, by affirmative vote of two-thirds (b) of the directors, order such variance from the direction and such application of the whole or any part of the principal or income of the fund to other charitable purposes, as in its judgment will then more effectively serve such needs. Similarly, whenever the Board decides that a donor\u2019s directions as to investment or administration have because of changed circumstances or conditions or experience proved impractical or unreasonably onerous, and impedes effectual serving of such needs, the Board may likewise order a variance from such directions to the extent in its judgment is necessary.\n6.6. Charitable Trusts. If a donation is made to the Association by means of any charitable trust or charitable trust instrument, the payments to or for the use of the Association shall be regarded as Association funds only when the Association becomes entitled to their use, but the Board may take such actions as it from time to time deems necessary to protect the Association\u2019s rights to receive such payments.\n6.7. Board Determinations. The Board shall from time to time but not less frequently than annually:\n(a) Determine all distributions to be made from net income and principal of each fund pursuant to these Bylaws and any applicable donor\u2019s directions and make payments to organizations or persons to whom payments are to be made, in such amount and at such times and with such accompanying restrictions, if any, it deems necessary to assure use for the charitable purposes and in the manner intended.\n(b) Determine all disbursements to be made for administrative expenses incurred by the Board and direct the respective officers as to payment thereof and funds to be charged. Disbursements for proper administrative expenses incurred by the Board, including salaries for such professional and other assistance as it from time to time deems necessary, shall be directed to be paid as far as possible, first from any funds directed by the donor for such purpose, and any balance out of other Association funds.\n6.8. Making of Distributions. The Board may, in furtherance of the Association\u2019s charitable purposes, when needs therefor have been determined, and with appropriate provisions to assure use solely for such purposes, direct distributions to such persons, organizations, governments or governmental agencies as in the opinion of the Board can best carry out such purposes or help create new qualified charitable organizations to carry out such purposes.\n6.9. Distributions of Principal. Determinations may be made to distribute all or part of the principal from funds donated without directions as to principal or income, as well as pursuant to directions expressly permitting the use of principal. The Board shall in such circumstance inform the investment manager of the Association, if any, as far in advance as the Board deems practicable so as to permit the investment manager to adjust its investment policies accordingly and may, upon being advised as to how the desired distribution and any necessary liquidation of investments can most economically be accomplished, adjust its directions for distribution accordingly.\n7.1. Actions Jeopardizing Tax Status. This Association shall not carry on any activities not permitted to be carried on by an organization exempt from federal income taxes under \u2018501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the corresponding provision of any future United States internal revenue law.\n7.2. Lobbying and Political Activities.\n(a) The Association shall not lobby (including the publishing or distribution of statements) or otherwise attempt to influence legislation except as authorized by a resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.\n(b) The Association shall not participate or intervene in (including the publishing or distribution of statements) any political or judicial campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office whatsoever.\n7.3. Private Inurement. No part of the net income or net assets of the Association shall inure to the benefit of, or be distributable to, its directors, officers, members or other private persons. However, the Association is authorized to pay reasonable compensation for services actually rendered and to make payments and distributions in furtherance of its tax exempt purposes.\n7.4. Non-Discrimination. In the conduct of all aspects of its activities, the Association shall not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, national origin or gender.\n7.5. Prohibited Acts. [At any time during which the Association is deemed a private foundation,] the Association shall not engage in any act of self-dealing as defined in Internal Revenue Code \u20184941(d); the Association shall distribute its income for each taxable year at such time and in such manner as not to become subject to the tax on undistributed income imposed by Code \u20184942; the Association shall not own any excess business holdings that would subject it to tax under Code \u20184943; the Association shall not make any investments in such manner as to subject the Association to the tax imposed by Code \u20184944; and the Association shall not make any taxable expenditures as defined in Code \u20184945(d).\n7.6. Conflicts of Interest. A conflict of interest occurs when a person under a duty to promote the interests of the Association (a \u201cfiduciary\u201d) is in a position to promote a competing interest instead. Fiduciaries include all Association employees, directors or officers, and members of any Association committee. Undisclosed or unresolved conflicts of interest are a breach of the duty to act in the best interests of the Association and work to the detriment of the Association.\n7.7. Typical Conflict Situations. Conflicts of interest are likely to arise whenever: a) a fiduciary has a personal interest in a vendor of goods or services to the Association; b) Association employees are loaned to other organizations, or the employees of another organization are loaned to this Association; c) Association fund raisers give financial advice to donors; or d) project funding requests are submitted by a potential or actual grant recipient with which a fiduciary is connected.\n7.8. Discharging Conflicts of Interest. All conflicts of interest must be disclosed to the Board of Directors. After disclosure is made, the individual with a conflicting interest must not participate in judging the merits of that interest. That is, such individual must abstain from voting on, or recommending a course of action with respect to, the situation giving rise to the conflict. When these are done, the conflict of interest has been properly discharged.\n7.9. Preventing Conflict Situations. The Association, through the Board of Directors, shall encourage all fiduciaries to prevent conflicts of interest where possible.\n(a) Fiduciaries should refuse to enter into self-dealing relationships with the Association as a vendor.\n(b) Fiduciaries should not accept anything but gifts of insubstantial value from vendors.\n(c) The lending of employees to, or acceptance of loaned employees from, other organizations should be avoided. If done, however, a clearly drafted contract defining wages, responsibilities, indemnification and conditions of employment is required.\n(d) Fund raisers should be advised not to recommend that making any donation to the Association is in the best interests of a donor.\n(e) Financial, tax, and legal aspects of giving to the Association should be discussed with a donor only when the donor has independent financial, tax or legal counsel present.\n(f) Donors who plan to make a sizeable gift in response to a personal solicitation should be encouraged to act only with the advice of independent counsel.\n(g) A fiduciary should not participate in any way to submit, review, process or make a recommendation concerning a funding proposal on behalf of any potential or actual grant recipient which employs him or her or with which the fiduciary is affiliated or related, or concerning a funding proposal for a project in which the fiduciary will participate.\n7.10. Litigation. The Association shall not be a voluntary party in any litigation without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors.\n7.11. Association Leaders. Only voting members of the Association may lead Association meetings and other Association activities.\nOTHER FINANCIAL MATTERS\n8.1. Property of the Association. The title to all property of the Association, both real and personal, shall be vested in the Association.\n8.2. Dedication of Assets.

In no event shall any of the business, properties, assets or income of this Association, in the event of dissolution thereof, be distributed to the directors, members or officers, either for the reimbursement of any sums subscribed, donated or contributed by the same, or for any other purposes.\n8.4. Contracts. The Board of Directors may authorize any officer or agent to enter into any contract or execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Association. Such authority may be general or confined to a specific instance. Unless so authorized by the Board of Directors, no officer, agent, or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Association by any contract or engagement, or to pledge its credit, or render it pecuniarily liable for any purpose or to any amount. When the execution of any contract or other instrument has been authorized by the Board of Directors without specification of the executing officer, the President, either alone or with the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, may execute the same in the name of, and on behalf of, the Association, and any such officer may affix the corporate seal (if any) of the Association thereto.\n8.5. Voting Stock Owned by the Association. The Board of Directors may by resolution provide for the designation of the person who shall have full power and authority on behalf of the Association to vote either in person or by proxy at any meeting of the security holders of any corporation or other entity in which this Association may hold voting stock or other securities, and may further provide that at any such meeting such person may possess and exercise all of the rights and powers incident to the ownership of such voting securities which, as the owner thereof, this Association might have possessed and exercised if present. The Board of Directors may revoke any such powers as granted at its pleasure.\n8.6. Financial Accounts. The Association may establish one or more checking accounts, savings accounts or investment accounts with appropriate financial entities or institutions as determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors to hold, manage or disburse any funds for Association purposes. All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, and all notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the Association, shall be signed by such officer(s) or agent(s) of the Association, and in such manner, as is determined by the Board of Directors from time to time.\n8.7. Appointment and Employment of Advisors. The Board may from time to time appoint, as advisors, persons whose advice, assistance and support may be deemed helpful in determining policies and formulating programs for carrying out the Association\u2019s purposes. The Board is authorized to employ such persons, including an executive officer, attorneys, accountants, agents and assistants as in its opinion are needed for the administration of the Association and to pay reasonable compensation for services and expenses thereof.\n8.8. Auditing of Accounts.

Liability of Directors and Officers. No director or officer of the Association shall be personally liable to its creditors or for any indebtedness or liability and any and all creditors shall look only to the Association\u2019s assets for payment. Further, neither any officer, the Board nor any of its individual members shall be liable for acts, neglects or defaults of an employee, agent or representative selected with reasonable care, nor for anything the same may do or refrain from doing in good faith, including the following of done in good faith: errors in judgment, acts done or committed on advice of counsel, or any mistakes of fact or law.\n8.12. Liability of Members. No member of the Association shall be personally liable to its creditors or for any indebtedness or liability and any and all creditors shall look only to the Association\u2019s assets for payment.\n8.13. Property Interests Upon Termination of Membership. Members have no interest in the property, assets or privileges of the Association.

The fiscal year of the Association shall be the calendar year starting January 1st and ending December 31st.\n9.1. Committee Powers. Committees of the Association shall be standing or special. The Board of Directors or the President may refer to the proper committee any matter affecting the Association or any operations needing study, recommendation, or action.

Subject to all of the other provisions of this Article, the Association shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, formal or informal (other than an action by or in the right of the Association), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the Association, or, while serving as a director or officer of the Association, is or was serving at the request of the Association as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including actual and reasonable attorney fees), judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Association or its members, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Association or its members and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.\n10.2. Derivative Actions.

However, indemnification shall not be made for any claim, issue, or matter in which the person has been found liable to the Association unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought has determined on application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for the reasonable expenses incurred.\n10.3. Expenses of Successful Defense. To the extent that a person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in the action, suit, or proceeding, the person shall be indemnified against actual and reasonable expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding and any action, suit, or proceeding brought to enforce the mandatory indemnification provided by this Section.\n10.4.

Determination That Indemnification Is Proper. Any indemnification under this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Association only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the person is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article, whichever is applicable, and upon an evaluation of the reasonableness of expense and amounts paid in settlement. The determination and evaluation shall be made in any of the following ways:\n(a) By a majority vote of a quorum of the Board consisting of directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit, or proceeding.\n(b) If the quorum described in clause (a) above is not obtainable, then by majority vote of a committee of two or more directors who are not at the time parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit, or proceeding.\n(c) By independent legal counsel in a written opinion, which counsel shall be selected in one of the following ways: (i) by the board or its committee in the manner prescribed in subparagraph (a) or (b); or (ii) if a quorum of the board cannot be obtained under subparagraph (a) and a committee cannot be designated under subparagraph (b), by the board.\n(d) By the members, except for members who are also directors, officers, employees, or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit, or proceeding.\n10.7.

The authorization of payment must be made in the manner specified in Section 6 of this Article.\n10.9. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The indemnification or advancement of expenses provided under this Article is not exclusive of other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under a contractual arrangement with the Association.

        "raw_content": "With the aim to ensure that digital business activities are taxed in the country of the user, Member States are now starting to seek unilateral solutions how to capture business models that can make profit from digital services in a country without being physically present. Slovakia is doing the same; starting from 1 January 2018 the definition of permanent establishment is broader and thus, profits of foreign operators arising from Slovakia from certain digital activities are taxable.\nReflecting this trend and in an effort to ensure a coordinated approach to taxation of digital economy at Union level, the European Commission proposed new rules in that matter recently. To become law, the proposals must be adopted by the Council by unanimity. Below is a brief summary of the most important information.\nActual measures adopted in Slovakia with effect from 1 January 2018\nAs we have already informed you in our News Flash, Slovakia, with the aim to address the challenges of taxing modern digital business activities, introduced with effect from 1 January 2018 the broader local definition of permanent establishment.\nRecurring services of mediation of transport and accommodation even if they are performed through a digital platform are considered as activities carried on through a permanent place in the territory of the Slovak Republic and thus, lead to creation of a permanent establishment.\nForeign operators of such digital platforms are obliged to register in Slovakia for income tax purposes. According to the publicly available rulings of the Slovak Ministry of Finance, operators of digital platforms create permanent establishment in Slovakia with no regard to the fact if they come from state with which Slovakia has double taxation treaty, or from states that Slovakia does not have double taxation treaty with. In the case the tax registration obligation is not fulfilled, the payments for mediation services shall be subject to a withholding tax.\nLegislative proposals proposed by the European Commission\nMember States are now starting to seek fast, unilateral solutions to tax digital activities, which creates a legal and tax uncertainty for business. With the aim to ensure that the digital economy is taxed in a fair, growth-friendly and sustainable way, a coordinated approach is proposed at Union level.\nRecently, the European Commission proposed new rules to ensure that digital business activities are taxed in a fair and growth-friendly way in the EU. The proposed rules should be, if approved implemented by the Member States by the end of the year 2019.\nProposal 1: A common reform of the EU\u2019s corporate tax rules for digital activities\nThis proposal would enable Member States to tax profits that are generated in their territory, even if a company does not have a physical presence there. The new rules would ensure that online businesses contribute to public finances at the same level as traditional \u2018brick-and-mortar\u2019 companies.\nA digital platform will be deemed to have a taxable \u2018digital presence\u2019 or a virtual permanent establishment in a Member State if it fulfils one of the following criteria:\nIt exceeds a threshold of EUR 7 million in annual revenues in a Member State\nIt has more than 100,000 users in a Member State in a taxable year\nOver 3,000 business contracts for digital services are created between the company and business users in a taxable year.\nProposal 2: An interim tax on certain revenue from digital activities\nThis interim tax should ensure that those activities, which are currently not effectively taxed would begin to generate immediate revenues for Member States.\nThis indirect tax would apply to revenues created from certain digital activities, which escape the current tax framework entirely.\nThis system will apply only as an interim measure, until the comprehensive reform has been implemented and has inbuilt mechanisms to alleviate the possibility of double taxation.\nThe tax will apply to revenues created from activities where users play a major role in value creation and which are the hardest to capture with current tax rules, such as those revenues:\ncreated from selling online advertising space;\ncreated from digital intermediary activities which allow users to interact with other users and which can facilitate the sale of goods and services between them;\ncreated from the sale of data generated from user-provided information.\nTax revenues would be collected by the Member States where the users are located, and will only apply to companies with total annual worldwide revenues of EUR 750 million and EU revenues of EUR 50 million. This will help to ensure that smaller start-ups and scale-up businesses remain unburdened. The proposed tax rate is 3%",

Rabin Medical Center has opened its doors of the Women\u2019s Hospital for the first time and allowed a television crew to document thrilling moments in their maternity ward. The new reality show entitled \u201cBaby Boom\u201d is a rare documentation of every moment of the most significant event of our lives: the birth of a baby. The show invites viewers behind closed doors to witness the magical moments that the delivery staff experiences on a daily basis.\nFor two months, 40 cameras that were placed in two delivery rooms, in the corridors and in the staff\u2019s rooms, documented the precious moments from the time the expectant mother arrives at the hospital to the birth of her baby. The crew did not miss a minute of material because a broadcast and control room for 50 production staff members was built to oversee and observe 24/7 all the happenings in the filmed areas.\nEvery episode focuses on three excited, nervous, and happy couples who share with the viewers this exciting life experience they are going through. In addition, the viewers are also exposed to the delivery room staff\u2019s experiences \u2013 the midwife, doctors, assistants and secretaries \u2013 who are all part of the dramatic moments, the decisions, the feelings and the development of personal relationships.\nThis show is quite revolutionary in Israel as Dr. Eyran Halpern, CEO of Rabin Medical Center explains, \u201cWe are proud to be the chosen hospital to lead this unique documentary project for the first time in Israel.\u201d The show also aims to broadcast the diversity of the hospital including patients and staff:\n\u201cAs you can see in the program, our delivery room staff sees the wide diversity of Israeli culture \u2013 religious and secular, native Israelis and new immigrants, students and graduates, women who went through infertility treatment, etc. The human mosaic that comes to the delivery rooms, and our staff\u2019s adjustment to each and every woman giving birth and her family, is touching and something of which we are proud\u201d- Dr. Arnon Wiznitzer.\nEssentially, this will be more than just your average reality TV series. It will be a warm and inviting family experience.\nYou can learn more about the Helen Schneider Hospital for Women at Rabin Medical Center here.\nFebruary 11, 2014 February 11, 2014 by American Friends of Rabin Medical Center Categories: Inspirational StoriesTags: babies, birth, delivery room, doctors, families, Hospital, nurses, reality tv, women's health\tLeave a comment",

But if you\u2019ve got people in your group who aren\u2019t big hikers, there are also fun activities like baseball fields, basketball courts, fishing, picnicking, soccer, boating, and ice skating during the winter. However, the hiking here is our favorite activity, as the trails often beautiful scenic views of nature.\nFerry Landing is the place to visit if you want to take a ride on the famous Glastonbury-Rock Hill Ferry, which is the oldest continuously operating ferry in the United States.

And of course, fishers can enjoy casting a line into the river and seeing what they can catch.\nGreat Pond Preserve\nGreat Pond Reserve spans 70 acres of virtually untouched nature. It\u2019s owned by the Town of Glastonbury and managed in cooperation with the Great Pond Stewardship Committee. The Great Pond is a 12-acre glacial drawdown pond. This preserve features hiking and walking trails which help you get a deeper look into another one of the best preserved natural areas in all of New England.\nCotton Hollow Preserve\nThis 80-acre preserve is composed of 80 acres of untouched woodlands and the Roaring Brook and is one of the most interesting hikes in the Glastonbury area. This preserve was once home to many gristmills, sawmills, iron foundries, and a cotton mill during the 18th and 19th centuries. Even today, you can still catch a glimpse of the 1814 cotton mill\u2019s ruins while hiking through Cotton Hollow Preserve. Fishers can also enjoy fishing in the Roaring Brook.\nShenipsit Trail\nThe Shenipsit Trail runs for 40 miles from end to end, with a 5.5-mile gap with no trail markers between East Reservoir and the trailhead of Grahaber Road. There are bountiful scenic views to be had along these 40 miles, with some of our favorite sections lying at the southern trailhead from Gadpouch Road to where the trail crosses Gadpouch Road a second time. This trail is also popular among mountain bikers, especially the area near Case Mountain.",

        "title": "Benjamin Franklin Cooley \u00ab Welcome to Agincourt, Iowa",
        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb A few figs from thistles \u00bb Benjamin Franklin Cooley\nBenjamin Franklin Cooley\nDon\u2019t google Benjamin Franklin Cooley. You\u2019ll get too many hits and none of them will be the right guy.\nOur B. F. Cooley was born at Granville, Massachusetts in 1835 and died seventy-eight years later not too far from there, also in the western part of that state. Cooley plays prominently in my long-term research into the history of Dakota Territory, having been the rector at Christ Church, the original Episcopal congregation in Fargo. In fact, he\u2019s the genesis of my project. Father Cooley arrived in 1881 and left ignominously in November 1885, the scent of tar wafting on the wind.\nBFC was a clerical type present in all denominations: burning with zeal, they arrive at their new assignment, organize a functioning parish from sticks, stones and bailing wire, and then depart, ejected for having offended someone in the community\u2014usually an unidentified individual in an unspecified way. Cooley was that sort of priest. It is fair to say that he was used and abused from Maine to Dakota and back again and more than a dozen points between.\nCooley was of the Anglo-Catholic persuasion. That is, he saw the Episcopal branch of the Anglican church as another variety of Catholicism. There was, in his mind and the minds of similar \u201chigh church\u201d Episcopalians, the Roman Catholic church and its sister the Anglo-Catholic. In other words, one could be Catholic without a pope. I need not point out that not all Episcopalians were cut from that bolt of cloth, nor are many of them even today.\nDuring a fifty-plus year career, Cooley had to fill in many a hole before it was possible to build. Preoccupied with ritual and its proper setting, Cooley had become a de facto architect. And while he never claimed to have been an architect by title, he did work well with professionals like Fargo\u2019s Hancock Brothers and even managed to design and superintend the construction of a fair number of buildings without professional assistance. Then, having performed those minor miracles, he was either driven from town or packed off to refurbish at a mental hospital. That happened at least three times.\nResearching Reverend Cooley for the past thirty-five years (you\u2019d think I could have written a book by now) and sensing the repeating pattern of his life, I once thought to find statistics concerning mental illness among clergy. Trust me on this: such statistics do not exist in the public realm and are unlikely to see the light of day\u2014ever. What denomination or sect would want its soiled linens hoisted thusly for public consumption.\nSo, how could I deny the inclusion of such a one in our Agincourt Project. There was a post-Dakota and pre-Wisconsin point when he could easily have sojourned in Iowa. And the bishop during those years was tolerant of High Churchmanship. Why not borrow him for a little while.\nWe\u2019ve conscripted many historical figures for the Agincourt story; Father Cooley won\u2019t mind joining their ranks.\nHigh, Low and Broad\nIn the current marketplace of ideas, there are partisans at both ends of the political spectrum. Calling them liberals and conservatives may not be entirely accurate, but there also appears to be a growing body of moderates whose notions of government involve accommodation (call it compromise) and getting on with the process of making public policy. In the 19th century there was a similar breadth of churchmanship in the Episcopal denomination.\nI mention this because party politics upset the steady flow of events at our own Saint Joseph-the-Carpenter in the late 1880s.\nUntil 1878 Agincourt\u2019s Episcopalians worshipped in the chapel of Bishop Kemper Academy. Rev Ellis Clough served the dual role of acadmic dean and parish priest from the school\u2019s founding ten years before, but the complex needs of parish life made it clear that a separation was required. The Saint Joe\u2019s we see today is actually the product of three building campaigns: the 1878 original, an 1898 enlargement, and a 1915 chapel addition. And the cycles of construction seem to parallel the presence of priests with architectural inclinations. Perhaps the most interesting of them was Benjamin Franklin Cooley.\nReverend Cooley came in the fall of 1887 and left ten months later toward the end of August 1888. A Massachusetts native, Cooley schooled at Nashotah, the High Church seminary in Wisconsin founded by Bishop Kemper, namesake of our girls\u2019 school. From ordination to retirement his pastorates averaged three years, so I guess we\u2019d call him itinerant\u2014the Episcopal counterpart to the Methodist circuit rider. Cooley had come from Illinois and went to Wisconsin, but his ten months here bear the stamp of advanced views on the congruence of liturgy, music and design.\nDes Moines architects Proudfoot & Bird shaped the exterior of Saint Joseph-the-Carpenter in 1898, but its interior reflects the high church taste of B.F. Cooley. Faded remnants of Father Cooley\u2019s color scheme\u2014rich stenciling in multiple colors on beams and throughout the chancel walls and ceiling\u2014were handpainted by the priest himself. But a more visible sign of Cooley\u2019s tenure is the bell tower he designed and built in 1888, a Gothic Revival exercise straight from the design playbook of Richard Upjohn (poster child architect for Episcopalians in the 1850s and 60s).\nBut pestering our lumberyards for building materials and the Milwaukee Road for a 500-pound bell bordered on harassment. And his organization of a vested choir of men and boys set too high a tone for the evangelical element in the congregation. Whatever the cause and despite his success improving Saint Joe\u2019s, Cooley ran afoul of the vestry and found himself eastbound on the night train one rainy evening. The Plantagenet had only this to say, and surprisingly circumspect at that:\n\u201cThe Fumous Element that has sought to remove the alb from the Episcopal rector\u2019s shoulders are to be congratulated in accomplishing the object of their\u2014object\u2026. Mr Cooley may have eccentricities, but he also has energy and power to make success. He has made the Episcopal church a credit to his city, built up and made remarkable by his guiding hand. It has been charged that Mr Cooley is \u2018high church\u2019\u2014whatever that may mean\u2014but whether high or low it is admitted that The Plantagenet can find no fault with this staid, sedate, quiet and orderly man of much reserve.\u201d\nBefore coming here, Reverend B.F. Cooley had applied his considerable talents in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Dakota Territory. And he went on to do the same in Wisconsin, Maine and other points. Looking back on his accomplishments, it\u2019s curious that we\u2019re still unable to separate who we are from what we do; the actor from the act.\nThe world could benefit from a few more Cooleys.\nPOSTSCRIPT: The design of Saint Joseph-the-Carpenter and its scenario are mine entirely, but Benjamin Franklin Cooley was very real. His design credits\u2014especially in Dakota Territory earlier in the 1880s\u2014are indeed impresssive. And the Plantagenet quote was adapted from one actually written in the Fargo Argus.\nIn an earlier column, Howard Tabor linked Father Cooley with the choice of William Halsey Wood as architect for the second Fennimore county courthouse, a connection that might seem overly convenient. But I am pleased to report that for several months in 1875 Cooley served as assistant rector at the House of Prayer, a decidedly high church Episcopal parish in Newark, New Jersey. Remarkably, the choir director there during that same period was none other than William Halsey Wood, himself a high churchman and self-confessed Anglo-Catholic. I rest my case.\nOh, by the way, the rector at Newark\u2019s House of Prayer at that time was Reverend Hannibal Goodwin, inventor of an improved film that revolutionized America\u2019s nascent movie industry. I don\u2019t make this stuff up, really I don\u2019t.\nBy agincourtiowa in A few figs from thistles, Uncategorized on Wednesday/09/May/2012 .\n\u2190 Patience\tTheology 101 \u2192",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / BUSINESS / Rental Property Investment Offers Numerous Advantages\nRental Property Investment Offers Numerous Advantages\nMore and more people are becoming interested in investing in rental property due to the large number of advantages offered by owning rental property. One of the largest of those advantages is the fact that when you invest in rental property, you are able to take ownership of an asset that is tangible. Compared to other types of investments, this is a tremendous advantage. It can be difficult for many people to get excited about stocks and bonds; however, gazing at a piece of rental property that you personally selected and are maintaining can provide you with the same pride in ownership that you received when you bought your first home. Rental property is also an income-producing asset which can be a much appreciated inheritance for future generations.\nIf you have had concerns about investing your hard earned money in financial instruments in the past but are aware that you need to invest your money in order to grow your wealth, real estate offers the perfect solution. While the stock market is notoriously fickle in terms of fluctuation, real estate has historically held a strong foothold in regards to appreciation. Even with the current softening of the housing market, investing in real estate represents an excellent investment opportunity. To a large degree this is due to the fact that many consumers are finding it difficult to qualify for a home mortgage loan but still need a place to live that is comfortable and safe.\nIncome is another tremendous advantage of investing in rental property. While you will need to deduct the mortgage payment if you finance the property and any relevant expenses, a rental property is often able to produce ongoing income for you.\nThe value of appreciation should not be overlooked either. Generally, such properties improve in value over time. While appreciation can never be guaranteed, if you take the time to choose a property in an area that is stable then there is a very good chance that the property will continue to increase in value as time goes by.\nBlackberry leaves the phone market, stops production\nRental property owners are also able to take advantage of leverage. This is because you have the ability to purchase a rental property with funds that are borrowed. As a result, you are able to begin taking advantage of the benefits offered by owning rental property while only investing a percentage of the total value of the property. In addition, since the property itself will secure the debt you do not have to worry about using other assets to secure it.\nTax advantages are another important benefit of owning rental property. If you obtain a mortgage on your property, you will frequently be able to deduct your mortgage interest payments. There are also a number of other tax deductions which can potentially be taken when you own rental property including the cost of repairs and improvements.\nThe fact that you can be your own boss when you invest in rental property is a benefit which should not be underestimated. Whether you are considering quitting your current job to become a full-time rental property investor or you are looking to supplement your current income, you can benefit from the fact that there is a tremendous amount of independence to enjoy by owning and operating rental property.\nWhat to Consider before Buying Investment Rental Property\nTips for Locating the Right Rental Property\nGuide to Finding the Right Investment Rental Property\nTips for Handling Vacancies in your Rental Property\nTips to Avoid Pitfalls in Owning Investment Rental Property\nGuide to Inexpensive Rental Property Repairs that Won\u2019t Take a Bite out of your Budget\nFrustration sets in after MMM members celebrate comeback of the Ponzi scheme (Read funny comments)",

Zimbabwe votes in an election that could, if deemed credible, tilt the country toward recovery after years of economic collapse and repression under former leader Robert Mugabe. (AP Photo/Tsvangirayi Mukwazhi)\nMillions of Zimbabweans voted peacefully Monday in a pivotal election for the southern African nation. It\u2019s the first presidential election in nearly 40-years without former leader Robert Mugabe on the ballot.\nThe electoral commission says the average turnout was above 70 percent. Final results are expected by August 4 at the latest. Many Zimbabweans hope a credible vote will bring the lifting of international sanctions and the revival of a shattered economy.\nCGTN\u2019s Farai Mwakutuya spoke with voters about this landmark election.\nThe overwhelming numbers and verification process for a new biometric voter register led to delays at some polling stations. But it wasn\u2019t enough to discourage voters determined to have their say. More than 5.5 million people were registered to vote in the election featuring nearly two dozen presidential candidates and nearly 130 political parties vying for seats in parliament.\nZEC Chairperson Justice Priscilla Chigumba announcing at a press conference that the available statistics show that about 70% of the registered voters had voted in the 2018 harmonised elections pic.twitter.com/ryu1a2OMVd\n\u2014 ZEC (@ZECzim) July 30, 2018\nMonitors are investigating the delays as well as other isolated challenges that were reported during a largely smooth process.

Nelson Chamisa held a press conference and President Emmerson Mnangagwa issued a response to former President Robert Mugabe remarks, both after the expiration of the official campaign period, which ended Saturday.\nThe Zimbabwe Electoral Commission, which is the sole body responsible for announcing the final results, will do so within five days of the vote. A presidential candidate needs 50 percent plus one vote for an outright win. There will be a runoff September 8 if no candidate wins more than half the votes.\nGrateful to @IRIglobal & @NDI for their work to ensure a free & fair election in #Zimbabwe. Public faith in the electoral process is critical to freedom worldwide. Today\u2019s vote provides a historic opportunity for the Zimbabwean people to choose the trajectory of their country.\nAt stake in the landmark presidential election is a chance for Zimbabwe to move to a democracy free from international sanctions. The country suffered crippling hyperinflation under Mugabe. Its hoping free and fair elections will lead the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to start giving it loans again and the United States, European Union and others to lift sanctions.\nCalifornia wildfires leave 8 dead and thousands evacuated \u00bb",

Newspapers in the United States are already struggling with declining readership and are now fighting to stay in print, and this latest financial challenge could be the final nail in the coffin for many.\nThe latest copy of Chicago newspaper, The Daily Herald, whirs into production. However, the newspaper industry in the United States is under threat after the U.S. Commerce Department announced it will proceed with tariffs on imported paper from Canada. The extra costs are a further blow to an already vulnerable newspaper industry.\n\u201cWe are already dealing with technology revolution in our business. Newspapers are struggling. Advertising is declining, going to different places, certainly to the internet,\u201d said Scott Stone, the president and CEO of the Daily Herald. \u201cReadership is down, people are reading more on the internet, reading different things. To have this on top, it just seems like the government is giving us another push.\u201d\nAt its peak, the facility can print 60,000 newspapers an hour, but there is a real fear that if the tariffs remain, many printing presses across the country will grind to a halt.\nBehind the tariff decision is a U.S. paper manufacturer in Washington state that accused Canadian companies of unfairly benefiting from government subsidies.\nIn Mayville, Wisconsin, Andrew Johnson, owner of the Dodge County Pionier and President of the National Newspaper Association, is preparing his next newspaper and he cannot understand the reasoning behind the tariff decision. \u201cThe weekly newspapers alone have let go almost 10,000 people because of this,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIf the tariff continues it is our professional estimation that half the newspapers in America will close.\u201d\nIt\u2019s may not be just jobs that are at stake as those at the Pionier and the Daily Herald believe the impact on U.S. communities will be far-reaching.\n\u201cWhat happens if there is not a newspaper in these communities to cover the local news. Some of these communities would be unchecked. There would be no watchdog,\u201d Stone said. \u201cAnd then what would happen It would be devastating.\u201d\nBut there\u2019s still a chance the tariffs might be overturned and the International Trade Commission is set to make a final decision next month.\nKoreas exchange final list of participants for upcoming family reunions \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "The art of the possibleThere is no single solution to making the internet more decentralised\nStopping the internet from getting too concentrated will be a slog, but the alternative would be worse\nFIXING THE INTERNET can look like mission impossible, even in the West. A Jeffersonian reform in the form of Web 3.0 appears a long way off, and its regulatory equivalent, a vigorous antitrust policy, does not look much more promising. Online, humanity seems bound to sink ever deeper into a Hamiltonian hole. But such an outcome is not inevitable.\nIt is important to set realistic expectations. Nobody seriously thinks that the internet could ever return to its first, totally decentralised beginnings. Most markets are somewhat concentrated, and no technology is likely to change that. In the metaphor by Niall Ferguson quoted at the start of this report, rather than tear down the data towers, the task at hand is to create a sufficiently vibrant digital town square to make diversity flourish.\nSimilarly, there is no single solution for decentralising the internet. But a decent-sized digital square could be maintained through a mix of measures, combining both Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian approaches, as well as regulation. What might that look like?\nLooking back, forcing the tech giants of the past to share some of their wealth seems to have been a good idea. Intel would have found it harder to develop microprocessors without a consent decree in 1956 that forced AT&amp;T, then America\u2019s telephone monopoly, to agree to license all its past patents free of charge, including the ones for the transistor. Microsoft might never have come to rule PC software if IBM, accused of monopolising mainframes, had not decided in 1969 to market computers and their programs separately, a move that created the software industry. Google might not have taken off in the way it did had Microsoft not agreed, at the end of its antitrust trials in America and Europe in the 2000s, not to discriminate against rival browsers and to license technical information which allows other operating systems to work easily with Windows.\nThe equivalent course of action now would be to force today\u2019s giants to open up their data vaults, thus lowering the barriers to market entry and giving newcomers a better chance to compete. A useful case study might be the European Union\u2019s Second Payment Service Directive, which came into force early this year. On the old continent big banks must now give other firms access to transaction data at the say-so of an account-holder.\nAdmittedly, designing a similar solution for the world of data would be tricky. Mandating extensive data-sharing would amount to expropriation. It would also clash with privacy considerations: the reason why data on tens of millions of Americans leaked from Facebook ahead of the 2016 presidential election was that the applications on the firm\u2019s platform had some access to users\u2019 social graphs. But the information-technology industry has solved more difficult problems in the past.\nEqually important, governments must make it easier for decentralised alternatives to emerge. That could mean creating demand for such offerings either by using them themselves or by mandating their use, for instance by requiring that some of them, such as blockchain-based digital identities, are offered by big online-service providers. But it also means doing away with regulation that ends up strengthening existing online giants.\nIn America the Computer Fraud and Abuse act and Digital Millennium Copyright makes it an offence, punishable by prison, for outside firms to plug into the platforms of online giants. Such legislation should be dispensed with. It is also unhelpful to treat all crypto-tokens as securities and regulate them as such, as America\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission seems set to do. Exceptions should be made for those that are clearly intended to power new types of services. The European Union may need to tweak its brand-new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to make it less complex. Big firms have the resources to comply with its rules, whereas smaller outfits are likely to struggle.\nThe internet\u2019s physical infrastructure is still less concentrated than the applications that run on top of the network, and every effort should be made to keep it that way. America\u2019s recent decision to scrap strict rules requiring telecoms carriers to treat all types of traffic equally (known as \u201cnetwork neutrality\u201d) is counterproductive: it will give the carriers more control over the network and allow them to extract more rent. Instead, the Federal Communications Commission should expand such initiatives as the Citizens Broadband Radio Service, which allows more sharing of radio spectrum.\nSome of this may sound like small beer, but the history of information technology shows that small tweaks have often been effective in bringing down the giants. Moreover, the mix of technology and regulation will have to be adjusted and re-adjusted over time. \u201cThere won\u2019t be a great moment, one great battle which you win,\u201d says Mr Benkler, the Harvard academic.\nIt sounds Sisyphean, but the alternative would be even more painful. Decentralisation is ultimately a question of democracy. As digital technology penetrates society ever more deeply and the two become ever more intertwined, the rules of the former will increasingly govern the latter. And the more the internet, along with its applications and everything that is attached to it, is controlled by tech titans (or indeed by the government, as in China), the less free it is likely to be. As John Sherman, the senator who gave his name to America\u2019s original antitrust law in 1890, put it at a time when the robber barons ruled much of America\u2019s economy: \u201cIf we will not endure a king as a political power, we should not endure a king over the production, transportation and sale of any of the necessaries of life.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Brain scanDavid Deutsch, father of quantum computing\nA fundamentally new way of harnessing nature\n\u201cI OCCASIONALLY go down and look at the experiments being done in the basement of the Clarendon Lab, and it\u2019s incredible.\u201d David Deutsch, of the University of Oxford, is the sort of theoretical physicist who comes up with ideas that shock and confound his experimentalist colleagues\u2014and then seems rather endearingly shocked and confounded by what they are doing. \u201cLast year I saw their ion-trap experiment, where they were experimenting on a single calcium atom,\u201d he says. \u201cThe idea of not just accessing but manipulating it, in incredibly subtle ways, is something I totally assumed would never happen. Now they do it routinely.\u201d\nSuch trapped ions are candidates for the innards of eventual powerful quantum computers. These will be the crowning glory of the quantum theory of computation, a field founded on a 1985 paper by Dr Deutsch. He thinks the widely predicted \u201cquantum supremacy\u201d that eventually puts a quantum computation incontrovertibly ahead of a classical one will be momentous for scientists and laymen alike. He brushes off the fervent debate about whether the commercially available D-Wave computer offers a speed advantage. \u201cIf it works, it works in a completely different way that cannot be expressed classically. This is a fundamentally new way of harnessing nature. To me, it\u2019s secondary how fast it is.\u201d\nStill, these are steps towards a powerful, universal quantum computer that could solve a lot of thorny problems. To describe such a device properly is to account not only for the states of each of its constituent bits but also for all the couplings between them, for each is entangled with every other. A good-sized one would maintain and manipulate a number of these states that is greater than the number of atoms in the known universe. For that reason, Dr Deutsch has long maintained that a quantum computer would serve as proof positive of universes beyond the known: the \u201cmany-worlds interpretation\u201d. This controversial hypothesis suggests that every time an event can have multiple quantum outcomes, all of them occur, each \u201cmade real\u201d in its own, separate world.\nAt the same time, quantum computation, and the quantum-mechanical theory from which it springs, are all subsumed in a newer idea that Dr Deutsch is pursuing. He contends that what he calls his \u201cconstructor theory\u201d provides a perspective that will lead to the rewriting of physics altogether. As with classical computer science, quantum computation and even genetics, it is based on the role of information. But rather than letting physical laws define what is and is not possible, as science does now, constructor theory asserts that those laws actually arise from what is and is not possible.\nFrom observed possibilities, a mathematical object called a constructor can be fashioned. Operating with and on these constructors gives rise to what Dr Deutsch reckons is a theory even more fundamental than quantum mechanics. He is enthusiastic about the theory\u2019s potential to upend the very foundations of science, but concedes that testing it experimentally remains a distant possibility. Then again, a few decades ago he would have said the same thing about quantum computers.",

But the company will not proceed to draw down launch aid promised by European governments while it hopes for a bilateral settlement of the trade row with America over such subsidies.\nNTL, a British cable operator, confirmed it was buying Telewest, a rival, in a deal worth \u00a33.4 billion ($6 billion). The move creates a \u201ctriple play\u201d provider (phones, TV and broadband) in Britain's telecoms market that will provide competition to both BT (phones and broadband) and BSkyB (TV).\nA subsidiary of Sprint Nextel, America's third-biggest telecoms firm, filed a lawsuit against Vonage and Voiceglo Holdings claiming that the companies had infringed Sprint's patents relating to voice over internet protocol technology. Both Vonage and Voiceglo offer services that enable calls over the internet.\nGoogle and Sun Microsystems threw down a challenge to Microsoft by agreeing jointly to \u201cpromote and distribute\u201d their technologies. As a start, Sun will incorporate Google's toolbar into its Java packages, but techies were more excited by the potential for collaboration on OpenOffice, an alternative to Microsoft's Office software.\nElectronic firms that back the Blu-ray technology for high-resolution DVDs, notably Sony, received a boost when Paramount Home Entertainment said it would also support the format in addition to supporting HD-DVD, a rival and incompatible format. Last week, HD-DVD had received a boost when Intel and Microsoft said they would be supporting it, not Blu-ray.\nFord and General Motors reported sharp falls in vehicle sales for September. Ford's overall sales fell by 20%, compared with September 2004, and GM's by 24%. Sales of light trucks, which include sport-utility vehicles, shrank by even more as consumers fretted about petrol prices. Meanwhile, GM said it was selling its 20% stake in Fuji Heavy Industries, a Japanese carmaker. Toyota, which reported its best-ever quarterly sales in America, will buy almost half of GM's stake.\nBoots, a British health and beauty retailer, said it intended to merge with Alliance UniChem, a pharmaceutical retailer and distributor. The new company will have a market capitalisation of around \u00a37 billion ($12 billion). Boots wants to refocus its business, but most analysts think the merger comes too late for the icon of the British high street to challenge the fierce competition it has encountered from supermarkets. See article\nParmalat is laying another claim against a large financial institution for allegedly contributing to its collapse in 2003. It will sue Credit Suisse First Boston for euro7.1 billion ($8.5 billion). The trial of the Italian dairy firm's founder and 15 others on fraud charges connected to the euro14 billion bankruptcy began last week, only to be adjourned until December. This week, Parmalat also began trading on Milan's stockmarket again after it had relisted.\nKazakhstan's government said it would seek \u201cstrategic control\u201d of PetroKazakhstan's assets in the country, despite its imminent takeover by China National Petroleum Corporation. PetroKazakhstan's shareholders (the company is listed in Canada) are due to approve the $4.2 billion deal on October 18th. Meanwhile, Lukoil, Russia's biggest oil company, confirmed that it is close to buying Nelson Resources, another Canadian-listed firm that maintains energy assets in Kazakhstan, for $2 billion.\nNRG Energy, based in New Jersey, said it would buy Texas Genco, an electricity wholesaler in the Houston area, for $5.8 billion. See article\nBP issued an assessment on the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to its business, the first big oil company to do so. The storms swept away $700m in profit for the third quarter and caused the loss of 145,000 barrels a day in oil production\u2014more than analysts had thought. Separately, the Insurance Services Office, a firm that provides data to the insurance industry, estimated that 1.6m American policy-holders would file claims, stemming from Katrina, that would total $34.4 billion.\nThe Institute for Supply Management's index of business activity in America's services sector fell to 53.3 in September, far below Wall Street's expectations, reflecting concerns over the impact of rising energy costs and the recent hurricanes. However, the ISM's manufacturing index beat forecasts and rose by six points to 59.4. The optimism is fuelled by reconstruction prospects in the Gulf coast region.",

A long-term monitoring program has found that contamination is holding steady or slightly decreasing around the station and nearby marine environment.\nMcMurdo environmental monitoring project finds small signs of recovery\nTime is ever so slowly eating away at the bad habits of the past.\nA decade-long environmental monitoring program at McMurdo Station is showing that contamination around the facility and the nearby marine ecosystem is holding steady or slightly decreasing.\n\u201cThe terrestrial environment is really fairly clean,\u201d noted Andrew Klein , an associate professor at Texas A&M University , which has participated in the study every year since 2003 after a three-year pilot project that began in 1999 to establish the monitoring protocols.\nKlein and his small team, which includes collaborators from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi , collect soil samples, marine sediments and even tissue samples from some of the critters that live on the seafloor to gauge how well the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) is doing in limiting its environmental footprint.\nThe latest report card is looking pretty good, especially for the nearby marine environment that was polluted during the early decades of the USAP after the U.S. Navy established McMurdo Station in the mid-1950s.\nScientist Daniel Russell carries a GPS to locate sampling sites.\nTerry Palmer, right, prepares to dive into Winter Quarters Bay to collect sediment samples for contamination testing.\nAn area known as Winter Quarters Bay is particularly polluted. The small cove has been used as a harbor since the turn of the 20th century during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration when Robert Falcon Scott\u2019s first expedition wintered there for two years.\nThe Navy later used it as a convenient trash dump. An ROV survey conducted by Rikk Kviteck of California State University-Monterey Bay last decade counted 15 vehicles, 26 shipping containers and 603 fuel drums among 1,000-odd items deposited in Winter Quarters Bay.\nSuch practices are a thing of the past. Serious clean-up efforts began in the early 1990s. The 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty , which requires environmental assessments of all activities, was the impetus behind the McMurdo monitoring program, according to Klein.\n\u201cLike any monitoring program, our goal is to see if any changes are going on,\u201d noted Terry Palmer , an associate with the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.\nPalmer is part of the marine component of the monitoring program, donning a dry suit and diving into the frigid, toxic environment where he collects marine sediments and even some marine organisms to see if the pollutants are working their way up the food web.\nThe bay contains a wicked cocktail of contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), petroleum, combustion hydrocarbons and trace metals. Divers like Palmer collect samples along at three depths along transects in Winter Quarters Bay, as well as at the former waste disposal outfall and at control sites.\nRecent analyses show that while pollutants like PCBs and even DDT remain elevated, there are some improvements, according to Palmer.\n\u201cIt\u2019s really nice to see we\u2019ve had some decreases over time at some of the sites,\u201d he said during a presentation last year in Portland at a meeting of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research .\nBack on land, where Klein and his colleagues spend several weeks each austral summer filling small vials with volcanic soil that makes up Ross Island, contamination levels have held steady, despite the heavy industrial nature of McMurdo Station. The Texas A&M team has collected more than 2,500 surface soil samples since 1999.\nScientist Andrew Klein collects a soil sample.\nThe cold temperatures and the persistent nature of pollutants like PCB ensure they will linger for decades, according to Steve Sweet , a senior research associate at Texas A&M University-College Station.\n\u201cIt\u2019s all legacy stuff,\u201d he said of the soil contaminants, which also include heavy metals like lead and mercury, though the levels aren\u2019t necessarily any greater than those found in towns in the United States.\nKlein said the contamination is confined to places such as roads, helicopter pads and old fuel tanks.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not very extensive spatially,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s where you would expect it to happen, and it\u2019s where we\u2019re still doing stuff actively at McMurdo.\u201d\nToday, extensive measures are taken to ensure no additional contaminants make it into the McMurdo area environment. All waste is shipped off the continent each year. Containment berms are built around fuel tanks.\nIn the unlikely event of a fuel spill, counter measures are swift. Contaminated soil is collected and placed in a high-heat \u201csoil cooker\u201d to remove the hydrocarbons.\n\u201cThe spill levels are much, much less than they were in the past \u2013 and they\u2019re remediated immediately,\u201d Klein said. \u201cIt does make a difference.\u201d\nMahlon C.

While the way it\u2019s consumed varies by region, just the mere fact that it\u2019s so widely (and heavily) consumed has had researchers and clinicians interested in the long-term effects of coffee addiction.\nImprove Your Athletic Performance One Cup at a Time\nCoffee is a functional food, and not in the \u201cI need coffee to function\u201d sort of way. Rather, coffee promotes optimal health and potentially reduces the risk of disease, says the Mayo Clinic. And according to PLoS One Journal, studies have shown that dosing up on caffeine up to an hour pre-workout can actually improve your athletic performance and endurance. Maybe that early morning activity isn\u2019t looking so bad now!\nWhat remains in debate is the mechanism of action, says Robert E.C. Wildman in the Handbook for Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods. That is to say, it\u2019s the caffeine content in coffee that\u2019s to credit for its ergogenic (enhancing physical performance) effect. It may have the exact same effect as straight caffeine or other energy snacks containing caffeine, but it will shown up as a PR regardless.\nOf course, while there may be no legal limit for coffee consumption, pump the brakes on taking advantage of bottomless cups of coffee. The recommendation from the Food and Chemical Toxicology Journal is 3-4 cups of coffee, providing 300-400mg per day of caffeine. This amount has shown little evidence of health risks and maybe even some health benefits, like:\nReduced risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and liver disease\nWeight management by increasing energy expenditure and inducing lipolysis (the breakdown of fats and other lipids)\nIncreased longevity (a.k.a. living longer!)\nModern Coffee World\nWhile the love for coffee hasn\u2019t faulted over many centuries, who, how, and what consumers are drinking coffee has evolved significantly. According to the National Coffee Association USA, these are some common trends in the coffee industry:\n1. It\u2019s all about the experience\u2026\nThe main consumer of coffee has shifted as millennial populations exceed baby boomers in size and become the largest consumers of coffee\u2014but in a different way than their parents or grandparents. Rather than relying solely on the price of their coffee like their wise elders, millennials value the experience of drinking coffee.\n2. \u2026An on-the-go experience.\nOur on-the-go lifestyles have led us to seek coffee options that are portable and convenient. No more standing around the coffee machine waiting for it to brew\u2014consumers want ready-to-drink options! And the industry has provided.\n3. We want it fancy.\nOut with the old drip coffee, in with new and modern ways of brewing. Our preferences for coffee-rich beverages are ever-changing. Remember when we talked about millennials focusing on the experience? Well, the experience has led millennials to drinking more premium, specialty coffee. We\u2019re talking cold press, nitro brewed, and even bulletproof!\nWhile the debate rages on and more studies will likely follow, we can safely say that coffee can be a regular part of your healthy diet\u2014as long as you don\u2019t get caught up in the high-sugar options. You can always embrace the beverage and shifting seasonal options in a healthier way.",

        "raw_content": "British Museum Act 1963 (Amendment)Bill [H.L.]\nHL Deb 27 October 1983 vol 444 cc399-422 399\n\u00a7 Lord Jenkins of Putney\nMy Lords, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a second time. A little time ago\u2014indeed, it seems quite a long time ago\u2014on another measure the noble Lord, Lord Cockfield, was enunciating from the Government Front Bench the general proposition, to which the Government are devoted, that wherever possible powers shall be exercised by bodies other than the Government. As this is a measure which seeks to do just that, I am hopeful for a smile from the Government Front Bench from the noble Earl, Lord Gowrie, in accordance with the views expressed by his colleague on the previous measure. I see that we have a smile to start with; let us hope that it will continue throughout the proceedings.\nThis Bill seeks to amend the British Museum Act 1963 to extend the powers of the trustees of the British Museum so that international resolutions and obligations may be complied with. In pursuance of that object it amends Section 5 of the Act\u2014which deals with the question of disposal of objects\u2014to extend the powers of the trustees in this fashion. It adds an additional power to dispose of an object; that is to say, let it go from the collection, if\u2014and I quote from the Bill\u2014 in the opinion of the Trustees it is desirable that, in fulfilment of international obligations, an object shall be returned to its country of origin\". It gives the trustees this extra responsibility.\nSection 5 of the Act lays down the existing powers of the trustees in relation to disposal of objects. They may dispose of a duplicate. Now with modern methods of reproduction an object can be produced which only an expert can distinguish from the original. Therefore, one might say that they could reproduce the Elgin Marbles, and then send either the original or the reproduction to Greece, or perhaps some of each and no one would know\u2014but I would wager that there would be an unholy row, so that is really no solution.\nIt works, however, in the case of the famous head of Queen Nefertiti, which is exchanged regularly between Berlin and Cairo, and substituted when absent by a reproduction. Even to carry out such an exchange convincingly the trustees would need to have the 400 power to do it, whether or not they exercised it. Whether they exercised it fully, partially, or not at all they would need to have that power, and it is precisely that power which at the moment they do not possess. This Bill is intended to give them that power.\nAt present the trustees can only dispose of old printed matter of which they hold a copy. They also dispose of coins, although there may be some slight doubt as to whether they are in breach of the law in doing so. But they may dispose of nothing else other than objects unfit to be retained in their collection. They are hardly trustees at all in this respect, but mere appointees of the Government. This Bill frees the trustees. It gives them extra dignity and extra responsibility. That is why I originally wanted to call it the British Museum Trustees Liberation Bill, but I was told that a less dramatic title might be more appropriate, and so it is the rather prosaic measure now before us, but the contents are the same.\nIt may be argued in this discussion that the trustees do not want to be liberated. Certainly the director, Dr. Wilson, might perhaps be described as an old lag who clings to his legislative prisonwalls and dreads the fresh air of freedom. When he was before the Public Accounts Committee two years ago he brandished his shackles. Before the Public Accounts Committee on 18th March 1981, Dr. Wilson said: We are strictly forbidden by Act of Parliament from disposing of anything but duplicate material\". He was pressed a little by a member of the committee: Is it that Act of Parliament which prevents the Elgin marbles from being restored to Greece'? Dr. Wilson answered: I do not know whether it is that Act of Parliament\". He said: I think the answer is that it is a very useful thing in our negotiations with foreign countries\". One can understand that, but it might be thought that it is not particularly noble.\nIn the post-war years, if I may fill a little background, newly independent and liberated countries developed an understandable passion to establish, or to re-establish, their own cultural heritage. But it was not until 1976 that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation decided to set up an inter-governmental committee to seek ways and means of restoring cultural property to countries of origin.\nIn 1977 UNESCO appealed to the International Council of Museums to help in the task. An ICOM sub-committee examined the subject exhaustively, and referred to, The reassembly of dispersed heritage through restitution or return of objects which are of major importance for the cultural identity and history of countries having been deprived thereof\"\u2014 and those words are extremely important, because I think they remove the fears which have been expressed that once one returns one thing one has to return everything. It applies only to objects which are of major importance for the cultural identity and history of countries having been deprived thereof [which] is now considered to be an ethical principle recognised and affirmed by the major international organisations. This principle will soon become an element in the jus cogens of international relations\". That is not a body which knows nothing about it. It is the International Council of Museums. It is they 401 who are saying, \"We think that this is right. These adjustments must be made. This restoration, this redistribution, this return must be carried out\".\nIn 1979 the General Assembly of the United Nations gave the go ahead to UNESCO, and in the following year the inter-governmental committee held its first session. In 1981 the General Assembly received a UNESCO report that the work was actively in hand. The convention prohibiting illicit traffic in cultural property has now been ratified by 50 countries, and a beginning was being made in trying to create a more informed public. Among other things, the committee approved the return to Yemen by the Wellcome Institute of London of a collection of archaeological items. The committee also recognised the importance of adequate museum facilities in countries requesting the return of cultural property.\nHistorically, although plunder has commonly been practised it has often been condemned right from Polybius through Cicero, Charlemagne and Richelieu right up to Napoleon, who broke the generally good record of the French, who were forced at the Congress of Vienna to put into effect a massive restitution. This policy was also enforced against Germany in both world wars. In 1943 the declaration included not only plunder but \"apparently legal transactions\".\nIt is important to emphasise that we are not here concerned with things which have been stolen, although we are able to say that we alone of all countries have never plundered another country in the course of our history. In the natural course of events of course we have, but many of the objects we now possess have been legitimately acquired. Sometimes they have been partly legitimately acquired. Therefore, we are not concerned only with plunder, and certainly we are not concerned with plunder if we are thinking at the moment of the Elgin Marbles. But Britain, not having been conquered and occupied since 1066, has never been the subject of compulsory restitution. Therefore, we probably have more objects from other parts of the world than any other country.\nRecent developments include, as I have said, an agreement for the celebrated masterpiece, the head of Queen Nefertiti, to be shown in turn in Berlin and Cairo, and for reproductions to replace it while it is away. The efforts of Nigeria to secure the return of the famous Benin works from Britain and elsewhere have been less successful. Similarly, while some important pieces have been returned to Sri Lanka, much of the cultural heritage of that country remains in London and in other Western capitals. Australia, on the other hand, has returned many works to Papua New Guinea and other Pacific islands; Belgium has concluded a restitution agreement with Zaire, which includes generous aid; Holland has made similar arrangements with Indonesia, and France with India and Thailand. In the United States individual agreements have been made by United States museums with Latin American countries for the restitution and exchange of objects.\nIn all this Britain has given the impression of dragging her feet, to say the least, and the Greek Government's request for the return of the Elgin Marbles should be seen against this background. One of our problems is that the fact that the British Museum can return nothing has set the general pattern 402 for us. Other museums, which are not under a similar prohibition, are disposed to take their pattern and their behaviour in this matter from our premier museum\u2014I hardly dare call it that, but I will risk it.\nWhat, then, should we do? It is not enough to say that the whole world can come to Britain and see its heritage cared for here, nor even to plead that, but for our ancestors, these precious objects might not now exist, though that may be true. If our Crown Jewels were located in a Greek or Sri Lankan museum gratitude would not be the first emotion to surge into British breasts. We should not be greatly mollified to be told that we could always pop over to have a look. \"What we have we hold\" was never a particularly noble sentiment and it is time that our authorities caught up with the more outstanding and generous attitude that many other countries are showing. Arguments about title are internationally discredited in a world in which the \"haves\" are generally behaving deplorably towards the \"have-nots\". Restitution of cultural property would feed no starving children, but it might point the way, for, as Oscar Wilde said, \"life imitates art\".\nOn 2nd August this year The Times reported: The International Council of Museums yesterday passed a resolution supporting the claim by the Greek Government for the return of the Elgin Marbles, which are in the British Museum. At its conference at the Barbican Centre in London, the council called for the return of cultural property to its countries of origin. Although no specific names or examples were mentioned in the gneral resolution, Dr. Yannis Tzedakis, director of the Department of Antiquities at the Ministry of Culture in Athens, described the decision as a 'moral victory for us'. The resolution was one of the few that were put to the conference which was attended by nearly 1,000 museum representatives from all over the world. It was the only one that generated any considerable discussion. When the vote was taken it was carried nemine contradicente, but the British representatives were among a handful who abstained. There were no votes against.\nIn spite of that this is not a Bill to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece. It is, perhaps, an enabling Bill. The standing of the Anglo-Saxon countries is not as high as it might be in the rest of the world. Here is an opportunity for us to abandon the role of international Scrooge. I ask your Lordships to give the Bill a Second Reading. Noble Lords may wish to discuss it further in the later stages of the Bill. Some may wish to strengthen it; others might wish to weaken it, but I ask your Lordships to give it a chance; and I beg to move.\n\u00a7 Moved, That the Bill be now read a second time.\u2014(Lord Jenkins of Putney.)\n\u00a7 Lord Nugent of Guildford rose to move, as an amendment to the motion, That the Bill be now read a second time, to leave out (\"now\") and insert at the end (\"this day six months\"),\n\u00a7 The noble lord said: My Lords, I beg to move the amendment in my name on the Order Paper. I begin by explaining to the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins of Putney, as he well knows, that the procedural device of an amendment in this form is no disrespect to him. Indeed, I have listened to his speech with great interest. 403 I congratulate him on the wide research he has made and the convincing manner in which he has put it to the House.\n\u00a7 The Bill is of such simplicity. It is a Bill simply to give power to the British Museum trustees to return such objects as they think desirable to the countries of origin. It might be convenient to your Lordships if we were to deal with the main issue today. The matter has been discussed for some months now and there is some anxiety hanging over the trustees of the British Museum as to whether the Bill might proceed and go on the statute book. It would be the best thing for the trustees and the British Museum if that anxiety could be settled tonight, one way or the other.\n\u00a7 I do not propose to take up more than one or two of the many important points which the noble Lord made. I am sure that the trustees, some of whom are noble Lords who will speak in the debate, will deal with such points as that which the noble Lord cleverly made about the exchange arrangements between Berlin and Cairo which the Germans have for the bust of Nefertiti, which sound very attractive. However there are considerable technical problems involved in moving these very precious objects of sculpture about from one part of the world to another, which might be seen as very objectionable. I shall do no more than say that I hope that noble Lords will feel it is reasonable, in view of the simplicity of the Bill, that we should try to deal with it tonight.\n\u00a7 First, from myself and possibly from every noble Lord in the House, there is a great deal of sympathy for the Greek Government and people. Those of us who visit the country on holiday, and many noble Lords who had the advantage of a classical education, will know the sad history of Greece in latter centuries; how many of her treasures have been lost. One has to do no more than sail in a cruise ship along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey to see the remains of the magnificent Greek cities in the hands of Turkey and not in Greek possession. One feels great sympathy with the Greeks in their efforts to try to recover some of their great heritage. We acknowledge our debt to classical Greek culture, learning and art in the wonderful heritage they left for the world.\n\u00a7 It is against that background that one looks at a measure such as this to see just what it would mean and whether it would be possible to do what the noble Lord's Bill asks for, to enable the Elgin Marbles, particularly, to be returned.\n\u00a7 I shall make a short speech because no one wants long ones at this time of night. First I should like to deal with the legal ownership. The noble Lord wisely did not touch on that, but for the interest of the general public it should be set squarely on the record that Lord Elgin acquired the Marbles in the first place entirely legally. At that time, the Greek nation was part of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore, the Greeks were under the rule of the Turkish Government and the Turkish authorities ruled everything in Athens. It was from them that Lord Elgin obtained the necessary licence to acquire the Marbles. Lord Elgin shipped them to England. He sold them to the British Government, who gave them to the British Museum and, as a matter of historical interest, the House of Commons set up a 404 Select Committee in 1816 to investigate the acquisition of the Marbles and found that they had indeed been legitimately acquired. They advised the Government to pay Lord Elgin \u00a335,000 for them\u2014which is about half of what it had cost him to ship them to England, and he was very considerably out of pocket on it. But the point of it is that the legal ownership is beyond all doubt.\n\u00a7 My Lords, I turn to the morality of the acquisition and the custody of the Elgin Marbles. The first point that must be made is that Lord Elgin's motive was, without any doubt, the preservation of the Elgin Marbles. In 1800, the Parthenon was a ruin. It had been mainly wrecked in the engagement by the Venetian Navy against the Ottoman Empire in 1687, when a shell hit the Parthenon, which was being used as a gunpowder magazine, and the whole thing was blown up. Nothing had been done to it since. The Turkish garrison occupied the Acropolis and the Marbles lay about and were completely unprotected. It was freely used by the Turks as a quarry for building materials, so that if Lord Elgin had not acquired the Marbles they might very well not exist at all today; and, if they did exist there would not be very much of them. So it is really a matter of fact that the Marbles exist today, and in good condition, because Lord Elgin rescued them from their precarious situation, since when the British Museum has cared for them with expert care for nearly two centuries.\n\u00a7 In this context, there are two further points that I should make. The British Museum's conservation laboratory is foremost in the world in its techniques of protecting these ancient treasures against adverse environments and has played a major part in conserving the condition of the Elgin Marbles so significantly better than the Marbles which remain on the Acropolis. The second point that I must make\u2014and it is really the main one; and I am sure that the trustees will refer to it\u2014is the case for the existence of the great international museums. There are not many of them either in Europe or in America. They display works of art and learning and objects of archaeological interest collected from all over the world. There are very few such museums and galleries, as I say, and they perform a service to mankind of enlightenment and enjoyment of inestimable value.\n\u00a7 In this context the British Museum is outstanding. Its exhibits are superbly shown, the Elgin Marbles in particular in the Duveen Gallery. They can be seen freely throughout the year and they are available at all times. It is a fact that the British Museum's collection of works of art and learning spans not only the geography of the world but literally the millennia of human civilisation, so that the scope for research work on art and matters of learning and for education, both directly and for comparative purposes, which is a vital aspect of it, is of unique value and is drawn upon by schools and students who come not only from here at home but from all over the world to study them.\n\u00a7 All this would be set at risk if the British Museum were given the power to dispose of its major treasures like the Elgin Marbles. Here is my last point on this. If they had such a power, if the Elgin Marbles went back to Athens, that would be a precedent. Who would follow? Nobody can say how many other requests that they 405 would have from all over the world, and, in the process, this marvellous collection, which performs such a great service for the community as a whole, international as well as national, would be progressively dismantled\u2014a loss which would be unsustainable. In passing, I should like to pay my tribute to the trustees, both the present and the past, for the really marvellous job they have done over the years and centuries in looking after their treasures in the way they do.\n\u00a7 My Lords, I turn to my conclusion. I was going to mention the difficulty of the mechanics of dealing with other applications but I think that would really be inappropriate now. I have not argued that the rights of property are sacred and immutable. I am not one of those who thinks so and I think that between individuals we are free to give our property away if we feel like it; and occasionally there are acts of spontaneous generosity between individuals which I think are entirely praiseworthy. But the perspective changes in the case of a great national institution like the British Museum which has a responsibility to the general public, international as well as national. They cannot give away their treasures without injury to the viewing and studying public; and this is their trusteeship. Their long record of custody and conservation since the beginning of the century has provided education and enjoyment to millions of people of all nationalities. This must weigh heavily in the balance in favour of their continuing trusteeship. I would say that the balance of the moral argument is against disposal and therefore I invite noble Lords to support my amendment and reject the Bill. I beg to move the amendment standing my name.\n\u00a7 Moved, as an amendment to the Motion, That the Bill be now read a second time, to leave out (\"now\") and insert at the end (\"this day six months\").\u2014(Lord Nugent of Guildford.)\n\u00a7 Lord Trend\nMy Lords, I realise that somebody who has spent the greater part of his professional life as virtually a Trappist has to seek a more than usual measure of indulgence when addressing your Lordships for the first time. I shall try not to detain the House for very long. I also realise that I must not be unduly controversial. I hope that your Lordships will forgive me if the odd note of controversy does creep in now and then because, speaking as the chairman of the trustees of the British Museum, I can hardly wholeheartedly commend the noble Lord's Bill; but I am very grateful to him nevertheless for giving me the chance to put on record the view of the trustees about this Bill.\nIt is of course that they oppose it and they oppose it because they regard it as potentially damaging, perhaps irreparably damaging, to their main function as they see it, the function of maintaining and enhancing a great universal museum\u2014one of the greatest, if not the greatest, of the universal museums of the world. I emphasise the word \"universal\" because, although I think that there is no dispute about the excellence and the international reputation of the various individual collections in the museum\u2014the Egyptian antiquities, the Classical antiquities, the mediaeval and modern collections, and so forth\u2014and 406 although they have to be administered for obvious practical reasons as largely separate or self-contained collections, nevertheless the museum is more than the sum of those individual collections. It aims to present an integrated picture of the stages in the development of various civilisations of the world and their indebtedness one to another, and it has the kind of physical integrity which comes from that kind of concept of human history.\nIt is that concept, the integrity of the museum, of which the trustees are proud to be custodians. They bring to their task considerable qualifications of their own and I am very happy and very proud to be able to pay a tribute to them. They bring expert knowledge of their various fields of scholarship, great enthusiasm and great devotion to the public service of the museum. And there is one other thing, which I think is more important than all, and that is the kind of independent critical judgment which you can only form when you are not under any kind of extraneous pressure, when your judgment owes nothing to any other consideration save your own duty to do your best for the institution that you serve.\nIn that sense, the trustees, too, have their integrity\u2014an integrity of purpose which is in a sense the obverse of the physical integrity of the museum. They are two sides of the one coin. But of course the integrity of purpose of the trustees is dependent, and critically dependent, on the legal provision which for more than 200 years has prohibited them from permanently disposing of any of the objects in their care except exact replicas. It is that provision which for more than two centuries has preserved them from the random caprice of aesthetic taste, of fashion, moralistic judgments and\u2014even more important\u2014the fluctuations of political pressure, unpredictable, random and varying from day to day. Without that protection the trustees could not maintain the integrity of the museum; and if the integrity of the British Museum goes what will happen to other great collections in this country? I beg your Lordships to remember that it is no use saying that it is only in the most exceptional circumstances that the trustees would be expected to avail themselves of this new discretion that this Bill would give them. As we all know, it is the exception which proves the rule, and under the pressure of being proved the rule can break.\nIt seems particularly unfortunate and particularly untimely that this proposal should be made at this moment, just when the pressure for what is called the restitution of cultural objects is beginning to mount once again and when we have just had the latest example in the demand now officially made by the Greek Government for the return of the sculptures from the Parthenon which we popularly know as the Elgin Marbles.\nThe Elgin Marbles are I suppose one of the best known, the greatest and most widely loved of all the treasures in the museum; and in so far as they exemplify in a unique way the aesthetic genius of classical antiquity to which all subsequent civilisations have owed so much, one might have thought that it was particularly appropriate that they should be accommodated in a museum devoted to the history of humankind, in a gallery specially built for them and specially equipped to maintain the right conditions for 407 their conservation, and in a museum where, together with many other treasures, they are available without charge seven days a week, 52 weeks in the year to over 3 million visitors a year coming from all quarters of the globe and extending from, at one extreme, the scholar anxious to verify some abstruse academic point, to\u2014at the other extreme\u2014the ordinary member of the public anxious simply to know a little more about the roots from which he sprang and to gain pleasure and enjoyment in doing so.\nAre we really to put all those treasures at risk? If so, why? The Bill, I see, speaks of \"international obligations\". It is not for me to comment on that point but I would only say that I am not conscious of any obligation accepted by Her Majesty's Government which would be binding on the trustees in this sense. On the contrary, so far as I know, the Government have always said that it is the maintenance of the great international collections of the world which does most to promote cultural understanding, and I hope they will continue to say so.\nNo, my Lords, I think it is something rather different which underlies this Bill. I think it is a feeling\u2014not easy to define but one which we all recognise\u2014that in some mysterious way the great cultural objects of the world belong, necessarily and properly, where they began. I think that the imagination\u2014at least my imagination\u2014boggles if I contemplate the probable practical results if that kind of historicism were pressed to its logical conclusion. But whatever one thinks of the practical consequences, the argument seems to me to ignore the changes which history itself has wrought since the objects began their life\u2014changes in the territorial boundaries of the countries concerned, in the ethnic composition of their populations and in the whole concept of legal entitlement and ownership. You cannot unravel history in that way with any prospect of a result which would be accepted as just and right.\nBut the argument seems to me to ignore something else even more fundamental. It ignores the whole ethos of the British Museum and the spirit in which its trustees administer it. It is I think a little ironical that if I search round for words in which to summarise that ethos I cannot think of any words better than those which Pericles himself used, just about the time when the sculptures were newly shown on the Acropolis, when he reminded the Athenians in his great funeral oration that they should not grieve for their dead too deeply because the whole world is the tomb of famous men.\nI think perhaps the words are timely to remind us that there is a sense in which the British Museum is a microcosm of the whole world, and its great collections certainly recognise no arbitrary boundaries of time and space in their homage to the great achievements of the human spirit. It is for that reason that the trustees would regard it as nothing less than a betrayal of their trust to create a precedent for the piecemeal dismemberment of their collection, and it is for that reason that I must hope very much that your Lordships will reject the Bill.\n\u00a7 Viscount Eccles\nMy Lords, as a former chairman of the trustees of the British Museum, I have an interest to declare and I am very glad of it, because it enables me to say with special warmth to the noble Lord, Lord Trend, that we found his speech moving and entirely convincing. The noble Lord described himself as a Trappist. He was secretary of the Cabinet when I had the honour of sitting there. He was not always a Trappist. But he rendered great service to his country in administration, afterwards at Lincoln College and at the British Museum. For all those reasons, we do not wish him to look upon himself as a Trappist, but to come here rather more often and make many more speeches like he made today.\nI had some part in Section 5 of the 1963 Act and the restrictions on the disposal of the objects were very strictly drawn under the leadership of the late Lord Crawford and Balcarres. I think it is true to say that at that time and ever since the trustees have accepted those restrictions as something which, as the noble Lord, Lord Trend, himself said, define the character of their trust.\nI shall not add anything to the story of the Elgin Marbles, nor will I follow the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins, in his reference to the resolutions of UNESCO, which is the most wasteful and sloppy agency of the United Nations. I would rather direct my few remarks to the general question: should claims for the return of objects of art put forward by an international body, or for that matter by anybody else, be encouraged? Should there be some rule or convention which might lead to the success of such claims? No one would make such claims for music or literature. Mozart or Homer can be printed, translated and performed everywhere and anywhere. Ah! but it is said that the visual arts are different because they are physical objects. They can be in only one place at one time.\nAs your Lordships will have observed in the nursery, when children snatch each other's toys the change of ownership gives rise to strong feelings; and in the field which we are discussing these feelings are now sometimes of a rousing political nature. When that happens, reason flies out of the window and it is very easy to forget that the place where a great work of art is kept is less important than its careful preservation, its accessibility to a wide public and its immortal power to elevate the human spirit.\nThe popular campaigns which lie behind the Bill now before us are quite new. In classical times, it was taken for granted that the great works of Greece should be exported to Rome and the rest of the empire. In the Middle Ages, bishops and princes vied with each other to secure the best works of art from all Europe. The Church at that time recognised art as the most powerful communicator of her message and art was also seen, and it still is, to be an unrivalled source of prestige. The power to communicate and to glorify accounts for the continuing universal appeal of great works of art.\nWhen I go round the Greek and Roman galleries at the British Museum I am always amazed at the way in which visitors, who appear not to know a single word of each other's language, are moved by the same work 409 of art and in the same way. You can feel that you belong\u2014all of you\u2014to one world and that is what art can do. As has been said, because art has this dual power of communicating and glorifying, one understands the distress of a country on losing objects which have meant much to it in its history. But all countries have histories. The rise and fall of empires fashions the rhythm of civilisation. Works of art always have moved and always will move, in step with that rhythm. It is not a crime that each succeeding centre of power should be passionate to possess rare and beautiful objects. Indeed, had this acquisitive instinct not been continually at work at different times and in different places, many a great painting or statue would have been lost, thrown on the scrap heap or damaged beyond recognition.\nYour Lordships know that great collections are formed by great wealth,and wealth does not stay in the same place. Over the centuries, power has moved broadly speaking, from East to West, from Asia through Europe across the Channel to Great Britain and on over the Atlantic to North America, and there is no reason to suppose that the movement will stop there. The fact is that the tides of history are irreversible.\nI ask your Lordships to consider for a moment a famous example in Europe\u2014the still glorious but dilapidated city of Venice, once the Queen of the Sea. In the 9th century, the Venetians deliberately stole the body of St. Mark from Alexandria. Having secured their patron saint, they proceeded to loot or otherwise acquire from Byzantium marble lions, bronze horses and all kinds of precious stones and metals; and, let us be honest, none of us has ever deplored that great tale of smash and grab. We have never said that it was a blot on the history of mankind. Why now, then, should we approve if Egypt were to ask for the return of the saint's bones, or ought we go to UNESCO and make speeches, hands on hearts, asking the Turks to send an enchantress to Venice to plead for the return of the bronze horses?\nThe fact of the matter is that the movement of wealth from one country to another is something to be accepted with fewer regrets because it gives expression to the universality of art. It proves what all artists have said, that art knows no national boundaries. They have always wanted to learn from the art of all continents and all ages. Henry Moore tells us that as a young man he greatly profited from the study of Cycladic figures in the British Museum. If those figures had never been allowed out of Greece, he might never have seen them. Today we are proud that his works, inspired in many instances by the Greek examples, are treasured and collected all round the world. I hope that the time will never come when we ask for them back.\nI am urging your Lordships to think of works of art as messengers of civilisation and friendship. Those great objectives, as we all know, are promoted when men and women can move about the world freely, getting to know each other and sharing each other's traditions and culture. It should be the same with works of art, for they are the expression of human personality. They extend our knowledge of each other and they bring us together. Passports, visas, export licences are the insignia of a divided world. This Bill is 410 reactionary because it would hold up the march of civilisation, which none of us can hope to do.\nNo doubt from time to time we can do a little to alter for the better the course of human affairs; but neither priests nor princes nor parliaments can ever diminish the universal appeal of art. Like others, I salute the ancient Greeks for their wonderful history, but the Greeks of the 20th century should know that we, too, have a history. Part of our history is expressed in our admiration for their art. We should not open the door to political campaigns for the return of works fairly acquired and now splendidly cared for. I hope your Lordships will support the amendment so ably moved by my noble friend who sits next to me.\n\u00a7 Lord Adrian\nMy Lords, first I should very much like to thank the noble Lord, Lord Trend, and to congratulate him upon his splendid maiden speech. It was everything that we might have expected\u2014and which I most certainly expected, having sat with very great enjoyment under his wise chairmanship of the British Museum Trustees. We are very lucky to have had the benefit of his speech this evening. I am sure that I express the view of the whole House when I say that we would wish to hear him again very soon. That he has chosen this debate in which to break his vow of silence indicates the seriousness of the issues that we are discussing.\nLike several noble Lords who have spoken this evening and who are to speak, I have to declare at the outset that I am a trustee of the British Museum. I am appointed so, not by the Government\u2014and therefore am not a Government lackey\u2014but by the Royal Society. But that in itself is a limitation, for I fear that I shall not be able to beguile your Lordships with a learned speech, of the kind we have already heard. Nevertheless, I wish to say that I do not propose to support the Bill which is before the House, and I very much hope that the amendment to it will be supported.\nI cannot attempt to repeat what has been said already, although it is obvious that I agree very largely with it. At this stage I merely wish to put on record my surprise that so very major a change in the nation's policy towards the great treasures of which it finds itself guardian should have been put in train with apparently so little consultaion. It is perhaps the more surprising that these proposals come to us from the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins of Putney, who was himself at one time responsible for our national museums as Minister for the Arts, even though he has spoken so persuasively of his wider sympathies.\nAs has been said, for nearly 230 years\u2014and the position was confirmed in the 1963 Bill\u2014it was the nation's policy that objects in the British Museum were vested in the trustees, and the trustees were quite explicitly denied the right to give away the objects in their trust. Now the trustees are to be invited to give them away when they feel like it and in accordance with international obligations\u2014obligations, presumably, to be entered into by the Foreign Office. From being charged with the care of the nation's treasures we are being asked to become brokers in the international goodwill trade.\n411 Whether we like it or not, if such is the nation's decision we shall, of course, have to implement it, but it seems to me that the trustees should be given more guidance as to how they should carry out this task of sending back so many of the finest things in the museum. Are we, for instance, to be encouraged to give away an object which comes to the museum as a specific bequest from a generous benefactor? Are we to give away an object which has been allotted to the museum in lieu of capital taxes? May we give away, if we think fit, an object whose purchase has been greatly assisted by the National Heritage Fund? Has the Treasury anything to say about the proposal to give away objects purchased with taxpayers' money, let alone with a special parliamentary grant? What shall we do if two nations claim the same object? One might, for instance, suggest sculpture imported from Italy but made in a Greek colony there. Are Hellenistic sculptures from Asia Minor to go to Greece or to Turkey?\nThe complexities inherent in what has become known as the return of cultural heritage are enormous. As has been mentioned, pressure on museums for return is undoubtedly mounting in UNESCO and in many countries. It seems to me that the present position of the British Museum is clear and that such returns are at the moment outside the law. The nation, through Parliament, may decide otherwise, but I do not believe it should do so without very carefully considering the consequences and the complexities. Until that has been done we should not encourage the pillaging of the world's great museums.\nThis brief but, for all its brevity, mischievous Bill would do just that and I hope that your Lordships will not give it your support.\nMy Lords, my lack of enthusiasm for this Bill has been mitigated only by the fact that it has given us the opportunity to hear the maiden speech of the noble Lord, Lord Trend. In his speech he displayed those qualities of wisdom and experience which have been so conspicuous to those who have worked with him at various times in his distinguished public career. I, like the noble Lord, Lord Adrian, share the privilege of serving under Lord Trend's chairmanship as a trustee of the British Museum. It is for that reason that I intervene, quite briefly, in the debate this evening.\nI should like to say\u2014and I believe this view will be shared by my present colleagues as well as by past trustees\u2014that I have found it to be a most rewarding experience to be a trustee of the British Museum. Despite its outward appearance, the British Museum is not just a showcase for the display of an immense and varied collection of works of art and antiquity, gathered from all over the world. It is all that, and it is the aim to attract as many visitors as possible. Last year there were over 3 million visitors in total. The museum is open seven days a week, access is free, and great efforts are made to display the objects in the museum's collection in the most effective way and to make them known as widely as possible.\n412 However, the museum is also a place of learning. It is a place where knowledge is acquired and where knowledge is disseminated: about how people lived in the past; what their values were; how cultures arose and declined. There is a universal quality to this learning, this tradition of enlightenment\u2014the word used by my noble friend Lord Nugent of Guildford\u2014which matches the contents of the collections upon which it is based. The two together do have an integrity. The expression of the noble Lord, Lord Trend, was exactly the right one. There is an integrity about the collection and the tradition of learning. The whole is greater than the individual parts.\nFor centuries, the British Museum has been a universal institution of the front rank and one in which successive generations have taken great pride. Moreover, it has been a peculiarly British growth, different from comparable institutions in other parts of the world, where indeed there are comparable institutions. It is a public institution funded out of general taxation, but it is not controlled by Ministers or by Whitehall departments. On the contrary, it is controlled by independent trustees; some appointed by the Prime Minister, some appointed by learned societies, and some co-opted by the trustees themselves\u2014each of whom has a recognisable obligation to do what he believes is in the best interests of the museum.\nIt is not always as easy as it may sound to withstand pressures on any institution, and the British Museum is no exception. There will invariably be political or other pressures on the contents of the collection; pressures towards disposal for reasons which seem compelling to those who put them forward. Restitution is the pressure today. If I may say so, I thought that the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins of Putney, spoke eloquently and put the case as effectively as it is possible to put it in favour of restitution. It is a case I do not accept, for reasons similar to those advanced by my noble friend Lord Eccles. But restitution is undoubtedly the pressure of today.\nAt other times pressures may exist to sell some parts of the collection. When money is short and is needed for buildings, maintenance or other purposes, voices may be raised to dispose of some objects which do not seem so important, and which may not be on public display. It is said they could be sold for large sums of money to be used for the purposes of the museum. Sometimes there may be pressures for objects to be given away for the purposes of the state. There are even voices heard from time to time in favour of destroying objects because they are regarded as being offensive to fashionable sentiment or opinion.\nAgainst all these pressures, the trustees have since 1753 been protected by legislation which has prohibited them from permanently disposing of any objects in the collection, with one or two minor exceptions which have been mentioned already in this debate. That provision was re-enacted in the British Museum Act 1963. My noble friend Lord Eccles told us that some thought was given to this provision at the time, but it was concluded that it was an essential provision. Thus Parliament decided 20 years ago that this legislation was needed for the continued protection of the contents of the museum.\n413 I fear that if this short amending Bill were to reach the statute book it would erode an essential provision which exists for the protection, maintenance and good health of the British Museum. Thus I do not feel able to support the Bill. My noble friend Lord Nugent of Guildford in his amendment adopted an approach which is entirely proper for this House to follow.\nThere is no point in having a Committee stage of a one clause Bill with a single objective. Either the House agrees with the aim of the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins of Putney, or it does not. If it does not, it should vote for the amendment proposed by my noble friend Lord Nugent of Guildford as I intend to do. Those who agree with the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins of Putney, will vote against the amendment, and that will be the end of it. For this reason I agree with my noble friend Lord Nugent of Guildford that it is desirable to dispose of this issue by a vote this evening.\n\u00a7 Lord Donaldson of Kingsbridge\nMy Lords, I thought that the exposition of the trustees would be so well informed, so interesting and so moving, that it would not be necessary for me to add to it. I did make some notes, but they would not have enabled me to make comments so elegant as those we have already heard, and so I have thrown them away. I wish to make only two points. First, I believe it is desirable that someone who is not a trustee should speak as well in opposition to this Bill. I am by nature a consumer of art rather than an artist or a collector. Up until the age of about 68, that was all that I had ever been. Then I suddenly found myself in the important and interesting position of being an administrator who could hurt or help the arts. Obviously, I tried to help them.\nOne of the most agreeable and, to me, rather new elements I encountered was my position as the main administrator outside the trustees of the national institutions, whose business it was to know them, know about them, to go to them frequently to have meals with them, and to talk with them. I can only say that after three years I had totally fallen in love with them. I could not let this Bill be discussed in your Lordships' House without getting up and saying, from a very ignorant and rather philistine position, which is mine, how profoundly I disagree with this Bill, if only because there is not a single director or trustee of any national institution who does agree with it.\nAs someone who was in a sense their spokesman for quite a long time I felt that I had to speak for them now. I shall speak for them in only two ways. The first will be by saying that nobody could have spoken for them more eloquently, elegantly, or movingly than the noble Lord, Lord Trend. We have all said so and we all think so. I only hope that he can be persuaded to speak again\u2014but not, I hope, against an attack on his museum. I do not want to add to the various artistic and historical arguments which have been ably made, but my second point is rather different, it relates to an adjective used by the noble Lord, Lord Trend, when he said that this Bill was \"untimely\". When one is faced with a demand of a fundamental kind, and when one knows that the people concerned in that demand are passionately opposed to it, and when one knows that 414 there has been no thorough discussion in this country as to whether the demand should be considered or not, then it is totally untimely to prejudge the issue by putting a key into a lock and opening a door.\nMy own view is not as extreme as that of some directors and trustees. My own view is that there must be in time certain occasions when the nation\u2014not the museum\u2014will say, \"This demand from someone whose possession we have had for a long time is something we could reasonably meet\". But I would wish for there to be national legislation on each occasion. It must be kept difficult, and there can be no question of opening the door so that this can be done at the whim of a future director, who might be sentimental, foolish, fashionable, or this, that or the other. Why should we give anyone that power? My view is that the law should remain as it is and that, if the nation ever decides that restitution of this kind should be made, such restitution should be the result of special legislation. I shall oppose this Bill by supporting the amendment.\nMy Lords, I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Donaldson of Kingsbridge, that the law should really be left as it is and that these decisions should not be left to individual directors. I know this does not affect the British Museum, but I should not think there would be very many Victorian paintings left in our museums and galleries if the directors had been allowed to dispose of them in the 1930s, when in may cases the frames were worth more than the paintings. When I went to the Getty Museum this summer in California I found the most popular painting of all was an Alma-Tadema called \"Spring\"; a beautiful painting it is too, and that is the most popular painting in the whole of the museum. So the wheel always come full circle and it always will.\nWe are grateful to my noble friend for introducing this Private Member's Bill for the main reason I think that it has led to an interesting debate, and it has also provided an opportunity for the noble Lord, Lord Trend, to make, if I may say so, a most eloquent, lucid and moving maiden speech. I hope we shall have the pleasure of hearing from the noble Lord on many other occasions.\nThe Bill seeks to allow the trustees to return an object from the British Museum to its country of origin in fulfilment of what are described as international obligations, although this is not defined in the Bill. The Bill refers only to the British Museum and not to any other institution in the United Kingdom.\nThis may or may not be a laudable aim; I do not know; but I wonder if it is practicable or even desirable. Works of art have often changed hands, many times through the centuries as a result of wars and social upheavals, and indeed works of art have passed through many countries. Mention was made today by the noble Viscount, Lord Eccles, of the four bronze horses in Venice. I do not know which is their country of origin.They are Hellenistic, as has been pointed out; they have nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire, but they came from Byzantium. They have been in Italy for several hundred years. Do they belong 415 to Italy, to Greece or to Turkey? I do not know and nor does anybody else.\nAs well as works of art from other continents, many European works of art are dispersed. One thinks of all those divided Renaissance altar pieces, the left-hand wing in one country, the right-hand wing in another, the central panel somewhere else, the predella panels scattered all over the place. Should they all be joined together, and in each case which country has the stronger claim? I do not know. There are often advantages in dispersal, too, as works of art have always exerted a tremendous cultural influence on other civilisations and countries through their circulation. As the leader of the British delegation to the UNESCO World Conference in Mexico said last year: \"The maintenance of the great international collections with all their facilities for research and conservation is the right way to increase cultural understanding\". With those words I fully agree.\nThe passing of this Bill would open the way for demands for the return of material from the British Museum\u2014and from the British Museum alone, not from any other museum\u2014that has been acquired over many years, and it could lead, as the noble Lord, Lord Trend, has said, to the eventual destruction of this great cultural institution. I would have thought that the provisions of this Bill would profoundly affect in particular the British Museum's Museum of Mankind that the noble Viscount, Lord Eccles, had so much to do with setting up. I should imagine this ethnographical museum would be greatly affected if there were many demands for the return of much of the material. This would be a great loss to education, as the museum plays a leading role in teaching us all, adults and children alike, about other races and countries. I remember some of the important exhibitions that have been mounted there from the museum's collections, where the objects are shown against simulated natural backgrounds.\nAs the noble Lord, Lord Nugent of Guildford, has said, it is clear that Lord Elgin's action saved the Parthenon Marbles. They had been much vandalised in the early Middle Ages when it was turned into a church, and then later on when it became a mosque. I understand he was so shocked by their condition that he decided to remove them. If they were to be returned to Athens in the future they would need to be kept in a museum under controlled atmospheric conditions, as in London, to protect them from the pollution in the atmosphere. So far we have heard of no plans to build such a museum in Athens. The Greek Minister of Culture has said she would like to have one, but it does not seem to have got any further than this. The idea that the marbles are going to be put back on the Parthenon is, of course, a romantic and na\u00efve fantasy. They would go from one museum to another.\nOn the other hand, we understand the deep emotion\u2014and I thought this was not sufficiently understood today in this debate, if I may say so\u2014 with which the Greeks today regard the Parthenon, and we know what an inspiration it was to them during the last war, when, as our allies, they were driving back Mussolini's armies so valiantly, and later suffering under Nazi occupation. I hope one day there may be 416 a solution which could be acceptable to both Britain and Greece.\nMy Lords, I do not know whether there will be a Division tonight or what the noble Lord, Lord Nugent, will decide to do with his amendment. I do not agree, if I may say so, with the noble Lord, Lord Windlesham, about a Committe stage. Although the Bill is short, we have had quite a full Committee stage on short Bills before, and I think there would be advantages in discussing this in depth. I do not know what the noble Lord will do, or even what my noble friend will decide to do. All I can say is that from these Benches there is no Labour policy about this; there would be a free vote and my colleagues would be entitled to vote in any way they wished.\nThe Minister of State, Privy Council Office, and Minister for the Arts (The Earl of Gowrie)\nMy Lords, I certainly believe that this debate has been well worth while in order to listen to the maiden speech of the noble Lord, Lord Trend. When I was a young man, a distinguished figure, but not of the same sex as the noble Lord, Lord Trend, wrote a book called, I Leap over the Wall. I do hope that the noble Lord will continue to leap over the wall of his Trappist Monastery and treat us many times to the kind of cogency and wisdom we heard tonight. It is of course a convention in your Lordships' House to congratulate maiden speakers, but I can only say from the heart that that was the most distinguished such speech I have heard in recent years.\nMy Lords, I listened with great care and interest, of course, to the speech of the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins. As one would expect from the noble Lord personally, and from a former holder of the office of Arts Minister, he spoke very eloquently, but in my view\u2014perhaps a prejudiced one in favour of Arts Ministers\u2014his eloquence did not conceal a confusion of intent and a misunderstanding of the historic functions and purposes of the British Museum collection. Perhaps I may deal first with the matter of intention. The Bill would give very ill-defined and also very wide powers to the trustees of the British Museum. They would be powers in respect of unspecified and undefined international obligations which it would be left to the trustees to interpret. This is not a proper function for the trustees, and we all know the pressure they would soon face for so-called international obligations, as defined by other people, to be honoured.\nThe powers proposed for the trustees, moreover, are emphatically not ones they have sought. The noble Lord, Lord Trend, reminded us of that, and all other noble Lords who have spoken holding positions as trustees have reminded us of the fact as well. Indeed, we have been reminded that these proposed powers would run contrary to the purposes of the museum as an institution to preserve and make available to the whole world the heritage of man's past. The present powers of the trustees\u2014that is to say, Section 5(1) of the 1963 Act\u2014require them not to dispose of objects except in certain very limited and narrowly defined circumstances: for instance, where there are duplicates or the objects are of no value to the museum or, in the case of printed matter after 1850, where this can be 417 photocopied. This, surely, is a correct interpretation of the conservancy role of a great institution.\nThe Government are aware of no general wish to change these existing powers and they do not propose to seek authority from Parliament to do so. Moreover, in the Government's view, the trustees already have international obligations which they have fulfilled since the British Museum's inception as one of the world's great museums and these international obligations do reside in their existing powers. These are the true and real responsibilities of the museum to make its outstanding collection, one of the very greatest in the world, freely available for public viewing, research and scholarship. I could not countenance a new obligation which would potentially and substantially diminish that collection and thus the museum's ability to fulfil these same responsibilities.\nHaving dealt with the intention of the Bill, I now come quickly to the broader question of the desirability of a Bill on the lines suggested by the noble Lord. Lord Jenkins. Should the collection be subject to claims from other countries for the return of objects when requested, on the ground that there is some so-called international obligation to do so even although those objects were legally acquired? Let us be in no doubt about the consequences. It would open the door to a flood of claims for the return of cultural property to other countries on grounds that item after item was an inalienable component, as it would be called, of their cultural or historic heritage, often dating back to a period of years or centuries before the country in question might have existed in its present form.\nI do so agree with what my noble friend Lord Nugent of Guildford said on this and, once again, with the noble Lord, Lord Trend, when he said that the museum is more than the sum of its individual collections. The effect would not be confined to giving back one or two items or one or two pieces. We should be encouraging the dismantling of an incomparable collection\u2014and not merely the collection of the British Museum but those of other museums for which similar treatment would be proposed; and not merely museums in this country but museums throughout the whole world. There would be the nightmarish or farcical set of competitive bids to which my noble friend Lord Eccles, in a speech both trenchant and moving, rightly drew attention. There would be the legal and political jungle vividly painted by the noble Lord, Lord Adrian, and endorsed from the Labour Front Bench by the noble Lord, Lord Strabolgi.\nIt would be quite contrary to the policies of this Government to require or expect the independent trustees of the British Museum to act in the manner suggested. The museum is an important part of our national heritage and also a visible manifestation of the cultural heritage of mankind. As I have said precisely because it is a rich and comprehensive repository of archives, such collections are held in trust not just for this country but for the whole international community. I make no apology for saying that they are held in trust for this country first and they are held in trust, as my noble friend Lord Windlesham told us, against the vagaries of sentiment or fashion.\nIn sum, therefore, the fact that the Government oppose amending the powers of the British Museum 418 does not, of course, mean that we preclude useful discussion between the museum and other countries on various forms of international co-operation. This has always gone on and it will continue to go on. The record of the British Museum in helping to preserve the Hellenic heritage which underlies so much of Western civilisation\u2014again, my noble friend Lord Eccles made this point\u2014is, of course, a very proud one. It is, therefore, unnecessary to suggest that there should be new powers to undermine that record. It is inherently undesirable and a contradiction of the general powers of the trustees to give them any new power to return objects to countries of origin. This is the wrong approach to the complex problem of the best way of ensuring that the world as a whole benefits from the great works of art, culture and history. Surely the right way is to maintain the role of the institutions which safeguard those works of art and at the same time offer their own skills of conservation and research in co-operation with museums abroad. That has been the tradition of the British Museum all along and it is one that this Government fully intend to allow to continue.\nI enjoy listening to the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins. He can frequently bring, as he suggested, a smile to my face even if it is on occasion only the smile on the face of the tiger defending its young. All speakers in this debate have been against the noble Lord and I do hope that your Lordships will support my noble friend Lord Nugent of Guildford if this goes to a Division and that this misconceived and, indeed, mischievous Bill will be given a quiet burial tonight.\nMy Lords, the distinction of the speakers in this debate has only been exceeded by their unanimity. However, it is to be reflected that unanimity is not the same thing as rectitude and this I think has been abundantly made clear in the course of this debate. Not of course that I do not believe that each speaker from his very profound knowledge and deep conviction is not absolutely satisfied that he has been uttering the milk of truth this evening in exactly the same manner as I am equally convinced that I have been doing precisely the same thing but from a different direction.\nThe noble Earl, Lord Gowrie, in referring to the intention of the Bill says that he does not like the wording. I should have thought his proper course is to support the Second Reading and amend the Bill in Committee if that is his only complaint. I think it is worth recalling that most other trustees in the world enjoy powers which the British Museum trustees are most anxious to have. It is always possible, since I think I happen to be right although being the odd man out, that they might be right in being the odd man out. But I suggest to your Lordships that there is an element of doubt in that conviction.\nIf the view that I am advocating could be shaken it would have been shaken by the noble Lord, Lord Trend. I join in the congratulations which have been delivered to him for a most distinguished maiden speech. He rightly said that it is not customary to be terribly controversial in a maiden speech. He is correct, and I thought that he expressed himself very properly and in no way exceeded the proper balance 419 appropriate to a maiden speech. In return I am sure he will not mind me saying that I felt he defined the word \"integrity\" a little too tightly for this Chamber. The integrity of the museum is important and I can understand that to him it is absolutely paramount. But the integrity of this country in the world is more important and it is that integrity which is in charge of your Lordships and it is that integrity which is being challenged in the world today.\nI notice that hardly a speaker referred to the position that this country is being regarded, as I said earlier, as a Scrooge of the international museums world. May I remind the noble Viscount, Lord Eccles, that, it is not only UNESCO which is concerned with this matter. The meeting which took place in the Barbican was a meeting of the International Council of Museums. What was the position of our people there? They did not vote against the resolution, which I shall place in the Library, in case noble Lords have not seen it. The resolution advocates precisely the kind of position that I have been advocating in my speech, and it is unanimous in the museum world. Our people did not have the integrity to vote against it. They abstained because they knew that in that context they would have been the odd men out as much as I have been the odd man out in this debate.\nThat is the position that we are in, and in my view it is not a position in which it is healthy for this country to occupy in the museum world. There is a movement all over the globe for countries which have acquired precious objects from different parts of the world to think kindly of those countries from which the objects have been taken.\nNoble Lords are saying that we will not even take the minor step of allowing the trustees of the British Museum the power to make their own decisions on this point. They insist upon maintaining a legislative position in which they are unable to adopt that wider integrity, which I suggest is as much their duty as anyone else's. We must not confine ourselves. We, are, if I may suggest it, excessively inclined to be insular in this matter.\nI do not think that at this stage your Lordships will want me to comment on the various speeches which have been made. They were all in their different ways speeches delivered from knowledge. I believe that there is no real need for the trustees to be anxious. No compulsion is placed upon them by this measure. No slur has been cast by me, nor is it in my mind, as regards the activities of Lord Elgin. This is not a Bill which places upon the trustees of the British Museum a duty to do any of the things which my noble friend Lord Strabolgi in the course of his speech suggested that they might be doing. It is simply a Bill which enables the trustees to do what they want to do. But the trustees say, \"No, we want the law of the land to prevent us from doing what most trustees in any other part of the world are entirely free to do.\"\nCan we not trust the trustees to continue to operate in practice the kind of sentiments which they have been showering upon us this evening? I think it wrong that they should be legislatively prevented; and of course it is always possible that a future board of trustees might take a different view. At present that would not be possible.\n420 The noble Viscount, Lord Eccles, suggested that there is not, and never has been, a case for the restitution of objects. I think that he has forgotten Polybius; Right from the beginning restitution has always gone hand in hand with acquisition. Let him look at Cicero, and he will find that the restitution of objects taken from different parts of the world has cultural value and a background equal to that of acquisition and display. I have quotations here, but I am not going to trouble the house with them at this time of night.\nDuring the course of the debate we have almost been asked to believe that the retention of the Marbles will increase our friendship with the Greeks. Of course it will not. We should at least be able to be prepared to talk on the subject, and the iniquity of the current situation is that the legal position prevents the trustees from having any effective discussion on the issue. They can say, and do say, \"There is nothing that we can do about it. We are prevented by law\". So what is the use of talking to them when the law says that they must not do it?\nWhat the Bill seeks to do for the trustees is to give them a degree of flexibility, and I believe that in the course of giving them that flexibility it gives them additional dignity and in no way detracts from them. The Bill is certainly not an attack on the British Museum. It is nothing of the sort; on the contrary. I should hardly wish to attack an institution which is responsible as much as any other for my own education.\nIn no other country in the world is there legislation to prevent museum trustees from using their own judgment; and that is what we have all these years insisted upon doing. That is what we are doing. We call them trustees, but we do not trust them; and they do not seem to want to be trusted.\nI must wind up. I was just a little surprised to see the delaying amendment in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Nugent of Guildford. If this were a Bill to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece, if that is what it said, one could understand the case for an amendment of this kind. Although I believe it to be a strong case, it is certainly a matter of controversy, as has been made clear to the House tonight. The view might reasonably be taken that a period should elapse for further discussion before proceeding to Second Reading. But the Bill proposes no such thing. It simply removes an impediment. It proposes to trust the British Museum trustees, and the trustees have made it absolutely clear to us all tonight that they have not the slightest intention whatever of returning the Marbles to Greece. Certainly there would be no change on that while the existing trustees remain.\nWhat they would not be able to say after the passage of the Bill is that they would love to conform to the developing and now generally accepted international practice; that they would like to go along with the views of international gatherings where at present they are in a minority of one, but unhappily they are prevented from doing so because of this wicked Act. That position would be removed from them, and in removing it we should reduce the sum total of British hypocrisy by a small measure.\nThe Bill is a step to that end. What the trustees would have to say after the passage of the Bill would simply be, \"We are not going to return your Marbles because we do not think it right to do so.\" That is all 421 that they would have to say. As I say, the Bill would make it possible for a future group of trustees to take a different view; no more than that.\nFinally, I would urge the noble Lord, Lord Nugent, not to press his amendment, for what the Bill does is to take nothing away from the trustees; on the contrary, it expands their powers. At present they are not trusted enough. If they happen to think that an international resolution is right and they decide to vote for it, they are unable to act in accordance with their vote. If there is a single object in the museum that they would like to return to the country of origin, they have no power to do so.\nIn this day and age that cannot be right. I urge your Lordships when the matter goes to the vote to come in the Lobby and to exert your right, and indeed your duty, to consider yourselves the guardians of the integrity of this country in the international field, and not to take the narrow view which has been urged upon you with such eloquence and such distinction.\nMy Lords, in speaking to my amendment in reply I should first like to congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Trend, on a maiden speech of such impressive authority and such very great interest. I think that to all of us and indeed to the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins, as well\u2014but certainly to all supporters of the amendment who spoke\u2014the noble Lord, Lord Trend, really did define the theme of the British Museum trustees, which is to defend the integrity of the museum. It is that integrity which makes the whole so much greater than the individual collections which the trustees, and I hope noble Lords generally, will agree should be preserved and which the Bill would inevitably progressively destroy.\nI acknowledge the strength of the appeal and the sentiment of the noble Lord, Lord Jenkins of Putney. I congratulate him on his romantic heart. We have all been arguing the most rational arguments and he has developed, with great skill, the irrational ones that do touch the heart. Undoubtedly the Greeks feel very strongly, but when the noble Lord says that the trustees ought to have this additional power so that they could use their judgment over what they would part with and what they would keep, he, as an expert politician, knows as well as I do myself that these decisions really are political.\nOn the tapis now is a formal request from the Greek Government. So what can the trustees do except take a decision, if they have to, in a political context? It is surely wiser, in the interests of the British Museum, with its great responsibility, not just to us in this country, but with its worldwide responsibility to humanity, to defend it against pressures that really would become irresistible at times. We would thus preserve the integrity of this wonderful museum for the benefit of all.\nI am sorry that I must disagree with the noble Lord, Lord Strabolgi, who asked me not to propose my amendment, which, if carried, would stop the Committee stage. I feel that the issue is a simple one. I beg to move the amendment.\n\u00a7 Their Lordships divided: Contents, 49. Not-Contents, 11.\nAdrian, L. Harvington, L.\nAmpthill, L.

        "title": "Time to revisit broadcast law - Trinidad and Tobago Newsday Archives",
        "raw_content": "What is said in these licence agreements? According to the body with oversight for this process, all licences entitle the Government to two hours each day, or 14 hours per week.\n\u201cThe concessionaire shall, on a free-of-charge basis up to a limit of fourteen hours per calendar week, and thereafter at an agreed rate ... transmit any programme, announcement, information or other material which the Government may require to be transmitted as a matter of public interest,\u201d reads clause D30 of the 2007 Generic Concession Document published by the Telecommunications Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (TATT). The 2007 document is the official guideline for drawing up licences. Clause D30 is understood to have been replicated in all agreements signed by broadcasters, agreements which they must sign as a condition of operation under the Section 21 of the Telecommunications Act.\nIf this is spelt out in licences already agreed to by media houses under long-standing legislation, what exactly is the issue? There can be no doubt that the Government is by law entitled to the air- time.\nThe legal power is currently used by the State to air programmes produced by the Government Information Services Limited (GISL). An example of such a programme was a half-hour documentary produced by GISL over recent initiatives to boost tourism; another documented the opening of a bridge. For decades, these programmes \u2014 as boring as they may be \u2014 have detailed the work being done by government ministries, conveying information about what taxpayer money is doing.\nTwo half-hour programmes are currently aired daily: one at 10.30 am and another at 11 pm, according to the GISL schedule. The weekend evening slots, however, are the only slots which are understood to be paid for, but at a discounted rate of 50 percent, in acknowledgement that the slots are in primetime.\nThe GISL programmes appear to convey public information as opposed to propaganda.\nHowever, if the Government were to start using its legal right to go beyond information about the work of the State or issues and instead, for example, attack political enemies, then that may be a case to answer. The risk of abuse is perhaps something that should be considered for future reform or when most licences come up for renewal in four years\u2019 time, as most will in 2016.\nBut as things stand, where is the evidence that the free broadcasts will be used for propaganda purposes? Is the current outcry not premature?\nThe issue of paid political broadcasts is already a fraught one. This is why most media houses are very careful about political advertising. So much so that political parties are often made to pay the full cost for any political advertisement upfront.\nThough there may be legitimate concerns over propaganda, there is no doubt that State-commandeered broadcasts can be used for productive purposes. An example that comes to mind is the series of school programmes once produced by the Government Broadcasting Unit and played in schools and on the airwaves. What has happened to programmes like these? The GISL programmes that are already broadcast everyday \u2013 apparently without objection from anybody \u2014 are also arguably examples of the legal power being put to productive use.\nYet, none of these issues have informed the current debate.\nLast week, the Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT) \u2013 itself an organisation which is hardly representative of the overall media \u2014seemed to add confusion to the debate.\nMATT has not issued a definitive statement of its concerns. Instead there have been contradictory reports of talking-points after closed-door meetings with Communications Minister Jamal Mohammed.\nOn the one hand, MATT president Suzanne Sheppard stated, \u201cAs it stands right now, it is the law and we abide in the law,\u201d according to remarks published in one newspaper on Wednesday. But a day later, in another report, the MATT president appeared to say the opposite, \u201cMATT\u2019s position is that we are not at all in favour of this demand for broadcasting entities having to adhere to this requirement.\u201d\nYet, most television stations already adhere to the requirements of the law.\nHowever, the proposal to enforce the licence terms may have a greater impact on radio stations, where there may be no equivalent to the half-hour programmes currently aired on TV produced by GISL.\nOne radio station has been vociferously objecting to the exercise of the State\u2019s licence rights, citing fears that the programmes would be used for propaganda purposes.\nBut did media houses initially not read the terms of the licences they signed?\nNot only do the terms of each licence give the State a daily two-hour free pass, but the Telecommunications Act itself makes clear that media houses must allow access upon request by the State.\nRegulation 23 of the Telecommunications (Access to Facilities) Regulations (LN 180/2006) \u2013 issued under the Act \u2013 states that, \u201cA holder of a concession for the provision of a public telecommunications network or broadcasting service shall upon written request, provide access to its facilities and such access shall not be unreasonably withheld.\u201d There is no time-frame stipulated in this provision.\nWhile some have argued that the purpose of the two-hour airtime requirement is to deal with possible emergencies, the Act has a separate, specific provision to deal with this. In fact, it was this provision, Section 84, that was invoked by the State in 1990 during the attempted coup when radio stations in Port-of-Spain were taken over to contain the situation.\nUnder Regulation 23, when the State wants to access a media house\u2019s broadcast facilities, an agreement has to be drawn up subject to negotiation. If the State intervenes under emergency powers, it must pay for any damage done (but not loss of profit).\nWhile there are concerns over lost revenue due to the State using its entitlement, it is actually in the interest of the State to ensure that media houses that pay licence fees make profit in their commercial operations. This is because the licence fee is not a flat fee, but rather a percentage of profits. If the State itself disrupts profits of media broadcasters, it actually disrupts this stream of income into the Treasury.\nLast week, the Trinidad and Tobago Publishers and Broadcasters Association (TTPBA) said the central issue was the definition of programming which is in the \u201cpublic interest\u201d.\n\u201cWe are still not clear on the issue of what is public interest,\u201d said TTPBA president Kiran Maharaj after a meeting with Mohammed.\n\u201cHowever, we understand that a concession document was signed and that matters of public interest are supposed to be allowed air time. We are trying to find a practical and reasonable middle ground.\u201d\nThe Communications Minister has said the programmes are to be about informing the population about the work the State is doing.\n\u201cThe people of Trinidad and Tobago, the citizens, the taxpayers have a right to know what their Government is doing. The people must know what the Government is doing with its resources so that they can make informed choices and decisions,\u201d Mohammed said in a statement last month.\nOnce more, little has been said of what the licences actually say.\nAccording to the 2007 TATT guidelines, the question of what is in the public interest is left for the State to decide under Clause D31 of the generic licence, which reads, \u201cD31. Pursuant to condition D30, the Government may reasonably declare any matter or event to be of public interest and require the concessionaire to broadcast such matter or event, but the Government shall, in deciding the actual time of transmission and length of broadcast, consult with the concessionaire with a view to causing the least possible disruption to the normal commercial operations of the concessionaire.\u201d\nThus \u201cany matter or event\u201d can be deemed in the public interest. But that determination is left to the State. The State is only asked to be \u201creasonable\u201d, but must consult with each broadcaster on the question of scheduling, not content.\nIt would seem that until the law itself is reformed, the State\u2019s right to two hours air-time per day cannot be challenged. It is an irony that these laws were passed under the premise of supposedly liberalising the media sector after a period when it was almost deemed impossible to get a licence due to the rigors of the previous regime. Perhaps the focus should be more on reforming the law in the long-term, rather than trying to evade the law itself.\nReply to \"Time to revisit broadcast law\"",

JUNO, a 26-gun Spartan-class sixth rate frigate of the Royal Navy launched in 1844 at Pembroke. Hessian-bound. The entries contain the names of marines, their misconduct and their punishments, ranging from the withholding of grog for a week to 48 lashes. Crimes include insolence, wearing a dirty uniform, sleeping while on duty and being drunk and disorderly. Dated from 1845-1849.\nHMS Juno was a 26-gun Spartan-class sixth-rate frigate of the Royal Navy launched in 1844 at Pembroke. As HMS Juno, she carried out the historic role in 1857 of annexing the Cocos (Keeling) Islands to the British Empire. She was renamed HMS Mariner in January 1878 and then HMS Atalanta two weeks later.Atalanta was serving as a training ship when in 1880 she disappeared with her entire crew after setting sail from Bermuda for Falmouth, England on 31 January 1880. It was presumed that she sank in a powerful storm which crossed her route a couple of weeks after she sailed. The search for evidence of her fate attracted worldwide attention, and the Admiralty received more than 150 telegrams and 200 personal calls from anxious friends and relatives after it was announced that the ship was missing, and possibly lost.\nThe collection is open to access by appointment.\nDigital images available on request.\nDue to copyright law, prior written permission must be obtained from Aberdeenshire Museums Service for publication or reproduction of any material within the archive.

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Seed Planting\nSpiritual Manna in the smallest things \u00bb\nPublished May 13, 2012\tHearing God , Supernatural 4 Comments\nDid you know that a sign of the end times is an increase in prophetic dreams and visions? The Bible says,\nIn the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. (Acts 2:17 and Joel 2:28 (NIV))\nI have been experiencing spiritual and prophetic dreams more frequently over the past year. In future posts, I\u2019ll share them and their meanings with you. But first, I want to tell you why I believe this is happening to me and how you can share in this blessing.\nAs we mentioned in our book, 7 Spiritual Truths and the Lies that Hide Them, God will speak to you in the way that He knows that you will listen. My husband actively looks for signs in nature showing that God is working with him on various things. Because of that, God sends signs through nature to my husband (these are big and obvious supernatural signs \u2013 the kind that would make you say, \u201cWow, did you see that?!\u201d). In the book, we joke that if you believe that God will speak to you through billboards, then you better start looking at all of the billboards. But seriously, think about how you listen for God to speak to you. Is it through your feelings? Is it through visions? Does He talk to you out loud? Maybe he speaks to you through other people. I know a lot of people who were seeking God when suddenly someone came out of nowhere and helped them through their troubles with just the right supernatural advice.\nYou may have had a relationship with someone in which you knew what they were thinking before they even said anything. I would never presume to know what God is thinking, but once you know how He speaks to you, it becomes much easier to really KNOW that it is Him who is speaking. And then as your level of communication deepens, your relationship becomes more intimate.\nThese days I talk to God constantly, and I am constantly watching for His reply. Sometimes it comes with just a \u201cHoly Spirit-type\u201d feeling, but lately it\u2019s been in dreams. Because I am open to hearing from God in dreams, He is using them to speak to me.\nI am so excited about this new gift, and I am equally excited to share it with you! I want you to feel like you are walking hand-in-hand with God each moment of each day, and to feel the closeness of your loving Father.\n4 Responses to \u201cDreams and Visions\u201d\n1 Lilian June 12, 2012 at 6:58 pm\nGood article. I like your clear and sincere message on dreams and am looking forward to learn more about letting the Lord guide us through dreams and visions.\n2 Arming The Saints June 18, 2012 at 1:50 pm\nThank you Lilian! Stay tuned for more to come!\n3 Kathryn Zecchino May 19, 2012 at 8:56 pm\nI would love to hear more details about your dreams and visions. I have noticed that the more I stay in the word the more aware I am of God\u2019s presence.\n4 Arming The Saints May 20, 2012 at 11:06 pm\nThanks so much Kathy,\nI will be sharing a few of the dreams that I have believe are for all of us to share in the wisdom. You are 100% correct that the more we stay in the Word the more we are aware of His presence. If you are open, and God knows it, He will give you more of Him in the supernatural such as dreams and visions. Here is a tip \u2013 when you wake up (no matter what time of night) and have had a dream, get up and jot it down immediately and then ask the Lord to reveal the meaning.",

CIN can occur with the most commonly used chemotherapy (CTX) drugs including platinum compounds; taxanes; plant alkaloids; antiangiogenesis agents; and proteasome inhibitors. CIN can result in treatment delays or cessation of treatment which may lead to disease progression and decreased survival. The specific aims of this study in oncology patients with and without CIN who have completed CTX are to: evaluate for differences in sensory and motor characteristics of patients with and without CIN, evaluate for differences in mood, concurrent symptoms, balance, and quality of life in patients with and without CIN, and evaluate for genetic differences, in patients with and without CIN.\nThe purpose of this study at the University of California, San Francisco is to better understand the signs and symptoms of chemotherapy neuropathy and the genetic (inherited) factors that increase risk of developing it.\nThe researchers wanted to enroll up to 600 volunteers near San Francisco and they enlisted the Army of Women (AOW) to support the final stages of their recruitment efforts. The Call to Action for this study was sent to AOW members on June 10, 2015, and the researchers closed enrollment on Nov. 23, 2015, after the AOW provided them with 106 women who were interested in enrolling in the study.",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Another Spanish lesson\nTwo flowering trees in Kyoto \u00bb\nPingu watches over the gay boys\nOn AZBlogX, two postings of homoerotic Pingu-based collages (featuring the animated penguin Pingu), 8 in each set: \u201cPingu: first wave\u201d (here) and \u201cPingu: second wave\u201d (here) \u2014 being birds of the sea, penguins come in waves.\nPingu will then lead us to other pingu- words, only a few penguin-related; and to the pungi, a musical instrument (cobras will be involved).\nFirst, Pingu, who we met briefly in a 3/4/12 posting:\nPingu is a British-Swiss stop-motion clay animated children\u2019s comedy television series created by Otmar Gutmann and produced from 1986 to 2000 for Swiss television by Trickfilmstudio and The Pygos Group. It centres on a family of anthropomorphic penguins who live at the South Pole. The main character is the family\u2019s son and title character, Pingu.\n\u2026 One reason for Pingu\u2018s international success is its lack of real spoken language: nearly all dialogue is in an invented grammelot \u201cpenguin language\u201d consisting of babbling, muttering, and his characteristic sporadic loud honking noise \u201cNug nug!\u201d accompanied by turning his beak into a megaphone like shape. This noise is often incorrectly written as \u201cNoot noot!\u201d in popular culture. In style of voice retroscript was chosen, all voices performed by Carlo Bonomi, who created all the sound effects for the series. This feature enables people of different linguistic backgrounds to be able to follow the story.\n\u2026 The program is set in Antarctica and centres around penguin families living and working in igloos. The main character, Pingu, belongs to one such family. He frequently goes on adventures with his little sister, Pinga, and often gets into mischief with his best friend, Robby the Seal.\n\u2026 Pingu is the main character of the series, a typically playful, sometimes naughty, curious little boy penguin. His name comes from the German word for penguin, Pinguin. He is strong-willed and mostly well-behaved but prone to making mischief and throwing occasional tantrums. (Wikipedia link)\nAvian-related pingu- names. At least two. First, Pinguino portable air conditioners by De\u2019Longhi; Pinguinos keep you cool.\nSecond, computer boards from the Pinguino company, with this logo:\nOn the product, in techspeak:\nPinguino is an Arduino-like [computer] board based on a PIC [brand] Microcontroller. The goal of this project is to build an integrated IDE [integrated development environment] easy to use on LINUX, WINDOWS and MAC OS X.\nFat-related pingu- names. First, a pinguecula, \u201ca common type of conjunctival degeneration in the eye\u201d (Wikipedia), characterized by a yellowish spot on the conjunctiva (Lat. pinguiculus \u2018somewhat fat\u2019 < pinguis \u2018fat\u2019). From this, pingueculitis \u2018inflamed pinguecula\u2019.\nAnd then the plant genus Pinguicula, with a surprising etymology:\nPinguicula, commonly known as the butterworts, is a genus of carnivorous plants that use sticky, glandular leaves to lure, trap, and digest insects in order to supplement the poor mineral nutrition they obtain from the environment.\nThe name Pinguicula is derived from a term coined by Conrad Gesner, who in his 1561 work entitled Horti Germaniae commented on the glistening leaves: \u201cpropter pinguia et tenera folia\u2026\u201d (Latin pinguis, \u201cfat\u201d). The common name \u201cbutterwort\u201d reflects this characteristic.\nPinguicula moranesis\nReversal: the pungi. Switch the vowels, and we go from an animated Swiss penguin to a folk wind instrument. From Wikipedia:\nThe pungi \u2026, also called the been, is a wind instrument played by snake charmers in India and Pakistan. The instrument consists of a mouth-blown air reservoir made from a gourd, which channels air into two reedpipes. The pungi is played with no pauses, with the player employing circular breathing. The pungi originated in India and is still played by snake charmers in street performances.\nThe pungi was originally developed as an Indian folk music instrument, and is still important for religious purposes and music in India.\nA street charmer playing a pungi for two baby cobras:\nAnd you can watch a brief film of pungi-playing for dancers here.\nI had hoped to find an image of Pingu charming snakes \u2014 Pingu with a pungi \u2014 but no such luck.\nThis entry was posted on October 21, 2016 at 12:26 pm and is filed under Collages, Language and plants, Language of medicine, Linguistics in the comics, Movies and tv, Music, Names, Penguins.\tYou can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.

        "raw_content": "For hundreds of elementary- and middle-schoolers in Lane County, daydreams of thrilling outdoor exploration during class are now a reality: That\u2019s a crucial part of their math and science education, thanks to new teaching standards nationwide.\nForty Lane County school teachers \u2014 teaching third through eighth grade \u2014 are partnering with the University of Oregon and local community organizations in an effort to provide more science, technology, engineering and math education, also known as STEM classes. The classes reach students through project-based studies, which often involve a driving question, student choice of material and a public audience for their findings.\nThe partnership is made possible by a grant awarded to the UO by the Oregon Department of Education and funded by the United States Department of Education through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.\nThroughout the academic year, local teachers participate in the university\u2019s grant-funded course focused on math and science project-based teaching. In the class, teachers work with university faculty to develop lesson plans and class projects \u2014 called Content in Context SuperLessons, or C2SL \u2014 that focus on addressing open-ended questions that involve real-world problems.\nFifteen teachers enrolled in the course last February, immediately after the UO received the grant, and another 25 teachers joined them in August for the current academic year. The teachers come from seven out of 16 school districts in Lane County.\n\u201cThe course is providing opportunities for me to learn about the new standards, as well as the time to develop lessons that match these new standards,\u201d said Carrie Patterson, a math and science teacher at Agnes Stewart Middle School in Springfield. \u201cI hope I\u2019m able to develop lessons that capture students\u2019 interest and give them opportunities to think, discuss and do science so they can develop a strong understanding of the basic processes that are at work in our world.\u201d\nAs part of the course, the UO also facilitates a partnership between teachers from the school district and representatives from community organizations, including the Eugene Water and Electric Board, BRING Recycling, Lunar Logic, PeaceHealth Laboratories and several other groups who come to classrooms and help lead math and science projects.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve created a model where we\u2019re not just drawing on our faculty here, but partnering with the community as well,\u201d said Bryan Rebar, associate director of the STEM CORE Program at the UO. \u201cThe focus (of the lessons) is primarily on project-based teaching, but also on Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards. We know that teachers need training around these new standards; we\u2019re trying to support math- and science-based teaching together, as well as professional teacher development.\u201d\nWith the new standards in place, project-based math and science teaching has become the norm in Lane County. With the projects, there\u2019s a specific focus on authenticity and a connection to real-world professions.\n\u201cWe don\u2019t want students to say, \u2018We can\u2019t do math, this is science class,\u2019\u201d Rebar said. \u201cWe\u2019re pushing teachers to break out of the mold of traditional teaching and (see that) every single standard is no longer built around some fact, it\u2019s a performance expectation \u2014 using the same practices that scientists and professionals use in their everyday work.\u201d\nUtilizing their Content in Context SuperLessons, teachers are getting students outside to explore nature, facilitating meetings with community organizations during class visits and taking field trips all over the state so students can get the practical experience they need to fully engage with the academic material.\nOne of the projects, led by Patterson, was recently featured by the Springfield School District on their website.\nAround 180 seventh-graders at Agnes Stewart Middle School are answering the question, \u201cHow can we as students educate the public about the value of our local natural area?\u201d through projects scheduled throughout the academic year. They\u2019ve been exploring the wetlands around their school and learning about different topics related to natural resources in the area \u2014 topics like preservation of native plants and animals, restoring the Mill Race, park planning and the science behind water quality issues.\n\u201cThis type of hands-on exploration of the natural world is exactly the direction we want to go in Springfield,\u201d said Springfield schools Superintendent Sue Rieke-Smith in the article. \u201cThe students are learning the critical thinking skills they will need in the real world.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Famous panels: Kitty Pryde\nWolverine, Spider-Man vs. Planet Doom \u2192\nThe Nightcrawler and Scalphunter exchange\nAn attempt for diversity in comics will never go away. And I\u2019m glad, because the superhero world could use more characters that aren\u2019t white males. Frankly, as a white male myself, I have a horde of do-gooders to pick from who look and sound like me. It\u2019s nice. Plenty of role models to choose from. But a few more options for those who aren\u2019t white men would be nice.\nActually, it wouldn\u2019t be so bad to have some various colors and species among the supervillains as well. Luckily for us, Marvel gave us the Native American baddie John Greycrow \u2014 supervillain name Scalphunter. To be fair, DC premiered a character named Scalphunter a decade before Marvel, but he\u2019s unrelated.\nAnyway, as a mutant, Scalphunter can heal quickly and control machines or something. Here\u2019s his evil introduction in Uncanny X-Men #211, written by Chris Claremont and drawn by John Romita Jr. & Bret Blevins:\nSee? The guy\u2019s bad news. But as you know from the article title today, this isn\u2019t only a Scalphunter story. And as wildly different as Nightcrawler and Scalphunter are (Comanche techno-morph versus German Catholic half-demon) their story becomes intertwined during the X-Men event Messiah Complex.\nIn X-Men #205, written by Mike Carey and drawn by Chris Bachalo, the team battles the Marauders:\nIn Scalphunter\u2019s final act of desperation, you\u2019ll realize why Nightcrawler\u2019ll have the baddie on his mind for quite a while.\nObviously Nightcrawler gets better. More importantly, a few months after this, Cyclops disbands the X-Men. Fallout from Messiah Complex and whatnot. Now with the X-Men spreading throughout the country and not much on their plates (killer robots and monsters usually tend to attack groups), the mutants have time to deal with other matters. Like grudges.\nScalphunter and Nightcrawler meet one more time in X-Men: Divided We Stand #1, a compilation of short stories. Ours is written by Matt Fraction and drawn by Jamie McKelvie. On the run, our former supervillain decides to make a living cooking in a desert diner.\nNotice that last thought box? I forgot to mention one of the most important parts: Scalphunter\u2019s been dead for a long time. Y\u2019see, the Marauders work for Mr. Sinister, quite possibly the most dangerous X-Men supervillain since Magneto switched sides. Proof from Uncanny X-Men #221, written by Chris Claremont and drawn by Mark Silvestri & Dan Green:\nMr. Sinister\u2019s known for many things, like his forehead diamond and genius scientific mind (though he apparently didn\u2019t get his PhD), but mostly for his cloning. And boy, does he enjoy cloning. Revealed eventually, every time one of the Marauders gets killed in combat (like all the time), he replaces them with an exact clone. As you saw from the Scalphunter\u2019s internal monologue, the dude hits the pavement quite a few times. Unfortunately, with the Marauders disbanded and Mr. Sinister killed by Mystique during Messiah Complex, poor Scalphunter no longer has a replacement Scalphunter. Now he serves eggs.\nI know that\u2019s a lot of dialogue. Read it all, because it\u2019ll reward you at our finale. Have you figured out the secret identity of the talkative stranger? I\u2019ll give you some hints: he\u2019s a Catholic priest, he spoke German, and his name is in the title of the article. Thankfully, Nightcrawler possesses an image inducer that allows him to go into public without making small children cry.\nWhile Scalphunter\u2019s knowledge of philosophy and art borders on extreme apathy, he still notices a weirdo when he sees one. Bad vibes are bad vibes, even from someone who compliments his pig-mush of food. Unfortunately, you can imagine the story doesn\u2019t end with Scalphunter riding his motorcycle freely into the night. That\u2019d be a terribly boring tale.\nYes, most proselytizing doesn\u2019t begin with a jump kick to the face, but superheroes tend to attack first, convert second. Though Nightcrawler does make his scary soul-crushing point in the tenderest manner possible:\nSee? I told you reading all that dialogue would pay off. Look, besides Fraction being a genius writer, I believe the Nightcrawler\u2019s message means simply this: the mutants of the world, who are persecuted and hated, will one day find the peace and acceptance they desire through not just physical and mental superiority, but moral as well. Which is pretty much exactly what Professor X preaches. While Scalphunter totally deserves to pay for the crimes and murders he committed, instead of simply awaiting another Scalphunter clone to eventually emerge, Nightcrawler changes the course of Scalphunter entirely.\nDespite whatever concerns people have about religion, you cannot deny that it\u2019s a healthy moral output for many people. Criminals have religious conversations in prison for a reason. There\u2019s always a better way \u2014 in Nightcrawler\u2019s case, forgiveness \u2014 and Scalphunter needed to see that instead of simply the mechanical, soul-less reproduction of his continued supervillainy. I love it, and it solidifies Nightcrawler\u2019s place as a proper role model in the Marvel universe.\nI\u2019d like to believe if he hadn\u2019t been killed during the X-Men event Second Coming, he would be the moral compass of the X-Men universe right now (instead of Wolverine). But he returns to comics soon!

        "raw_content": "Formula 1 releases its iOS, Android, BlackBerry apps for the 2012 season\nFormula 1 has released updated mobile apps for the 2012 season, now available \u2026\nRegular readers will probably know that I'm Ars Technica's resident racing nerd. Actually going racing is about as much fun as you can have with your (nomex) clothes on, but it's not exactly the cheapest hobby in the world. But watching other people zoom round and round in circles provides enough of a fix to make NASCAR the US' largest spectator sport, the 24 Hours of Le Mans the world's biggest sporting event, and the Formula 1 (F1) season the most viewed sport on TV after the Olympics. F1 has been adapting to our ever more digital lifestyle, first by offering live timing and scoring via the Web, and more recently with mobile apps. Now, they've just released their latest version for the 2012 season, just in time for the first race taking place this coming weekend.\nThe app is available in two flavors, a free version that gives you news feeds, countdowns, and notifications for the races, and a paid version ($28.99 in the US iTunes App Store) that gives you access to live timing and scoring, real-time track positioning, and lap-by-lap text commentary and notifications. You can also pause races and download a complete race after the event.\nThat last feature is a real boon to those of us who timeshift the more inconveniently scheduled races; F1 is a global sport, but its biggest market is Europe, so most of the races end up being on very early in the morning if you're in the US. Being able to download the data for a race means you can still use the app even as you watch the race on your DVR.\nNo, it's not the cheapest app out there. And yes, if all you want is live timing, you can get that for free on F1's website. But if you're planning on attending an F1 race this year, having all that data at your fingertips at the track is incredibly handy, and at less than $30, it's quite a lot cheaper than renting a FanVision. Android and BlackBerry users will be glad to know that they're no longer neglected, with versions for those platforms also available.",

        "raw_content": "Why Our Founders Feared Democracy\nThe word Republic has all but disappeared from our political lexicon. It has erroneously been replaced by Democracy. The Founders must be turning over in their graves. They had nothing but contempt for democracy. They sought to, and did, create a constitutional republic, but not before doing their homework.\nUnlike today\u2019s politicians, talking heads, and academics, the Founders had an acute, in-depth, and nuanced understanding of history and political systems. Prior to the 1787 constitutional convention, James Madison undertook a comprehensive study of every known republic in recorded history to ensure that the Founders didn\u2019t repeat their mistakes. The Founders as a group were also well studied in democracies. They knew that every democracy in recorded history disintegrated in a pyre of chaos, tyranny, and mob violence.\nThe word democracy does not appear in any of the Founding documents: the Declaration, the Articles of Confederation, nor the Constitution. For good reason: the Founders had no intention of creating a democracy. They wanted to fashion a mixed republic of constitutionally infused checks and balances which incorporated elements monarchy, aristocracy, and popular consent. Monarchy would manifest itself in the Office of President, aristocracy the senate, and popular consent, the House of Representatives. The checks and balances are both vertical and horizontal. The division of the government into the executive, legislative, and judicial constitutes one form of checks and balances. The \u201cdivision of labor\u201d among the federal, state, and local levels of government constitutes the other. This division of labor was made law in Article 1, Section 8, and the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.\nThe Founders drew much of their inspiration and thought from Baron Montesquieu\u2019s \u201cSpirit of the Laws.\u201d Montesquieu (1689-1755), a Frenchman, was a political philosopher and man of letters. He is one of the central figures of the Enlightenment.\nPublished in 1748, the Spirit of the Laws is a comparative study of three types of government: republic, monarchy, and despotism. Montesquieu held that government powers should be separated and balanced to guarantee individual rights and freedom. It is considered one of the most influential political studies of all time. The Founders would agree, and some 40 years later, would incorporate much of Montesquieu\u2019s masterpiece in the founding of our Republic.\nI\u2019ll bet very few Americans can cite the differences between a republic and a democracy, or care for that matter. But even high-level politicians and prime-time political commentators continue to refer to \u201cour democracy\u201d rather than \u201cour republic.\u201d Spread the good word\u2014we don\u2019t live in a democracy; it\u2019s a republic, thank you.\nThe article below, by O.R. Adams, goes into great detail about this issue.\nWhy Our Founders Feared a Democracy\nBy O. R. Adams Jr.\n\u00a9 O. R. Adams Jr., 2008\nOur Founders very much feared creating a government that had too many aspects of a pure democracy. They feared the destructiveness that a majority might have in trying to make everyone equal, and in the process taking away property, rights of property, and with it our basic freedoms which they considered \u201cGod given Freedoms.\u201d They very much feared the development of the Robin Hood mentality we are seeing today \u2013 soak the rich and give to the poor. It is a democratic drift toward socialism. Such a program as the proposed \u201cUniversal Healthcare\u201d is a prime example.\nThe fear had good basis. Our Founders were all knowledgeable people, and all knew and discussed how all prior democracies ended in disastrous failures \u2013 one of the most well known being that of Athens, Greece. As stated by Paul Gagnon:\nAmerican history reaches way back\u2014to the texts of Judaism and Christianity, to the glory and failure of democracy in Athens, to Rome, Feudal times, and more. To explain our values, history classes need to reach back, too. http://www.aft.org/pubs-reports/american_educator/issues/summer2005/\nThere has been a historical writing floating around for a number of years on principles that were well known to our founders, which is:\nA democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world\u2019s greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: \u201cFrom bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.\u201d (Emphasis added) http://www.democrats.com/node/807\nThe above, in the reference shown, is attributed to Alexander Fraser Tytler, a Scottish born British lawyer and writer (1747-1813). However, there is some doubt about the original author, although the quotation has been often repeated by knowledgeable people. (See: http://www.lorencollins.net/tytler.html) Certainly, the principle was well known to our Founders, and to informed writers of that period.\nOne of the greatest of all writers about our American government, and the dangers it faced, was the French writer and historian, Alexis de Tocqueville. He toured all of America in the early 1800s, and after some years wrote the great two volume book, Democracy in America. The University of Virginia has done the great service to America of making this complete two volume works available online at http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/DETOC/toc_indx.html\nA good part of Volume II of Democracy in America was on the dangers of a democracy, which was along the same line as the above quoted information. He very much hoped that our Republic form of government could escape those dangers. Some excerpts from the book, in that regard, are:\nIt frequently happens that the members of the community promote the influence of the central power without intending to. Democratic eras are periods of experiment, innovation, and adventure. There is always a multitude of men engaged in difficult or novel undertakings, which they follow by themselves without shackling themselves to their fellows. Such persons will admit, as a general principle, that the public authority ought not to interfere in private concerns; but, by an exception to that rule, each of them craves its assistance in the particular concern on which he is engaged and seeks to draw upon the influence of the government for his own benefit, although he would restrict it on all other occasions. If a large number of men applies this particular exception to a great variety of different purposes, the sphere of the central power extends itself imperceptibly in all directions, although everyone wishes it to be circumscribed. (Volume 2, Section 4: Chapter III, That the Sentiments of Democratic Nations Accord with Their Opinions in Leading Them to Concentrate Political Power [in] America)\n\u2026 These powers accumulate there with astonishing rapidity, and the state instantly attains the utmost limits of its strength, while private persons allow themselves to sink as suddenly to the lowest degree of weakness. \u2026\nHence the concentration of power and the subjection of individuals will increase among democratic nations, not only in the same proportion as their equality, but in the same proportion as their ignorance. \u2026 (Volume 2, Section 4: Chapter IV, Of Certain Peculiar and Accidental Causes Which Either Lead a People to Complete the Centralization of Government or Divert Them From It)\nThus it every day renders the exercise of the free agency of man less useful and less frequent; it circumscribes the will within a narrower range and gradually robs a man of all the uses of himself. The principle of equality has prepared men for these things; it has predisposed men to endure them and often to look on them as benefits.\nAfter having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. (Volume 2, Section 4: Chapter VI, What Sort of Despotism Democratic Nations Have to Fear.)\nThese things we are seeing in America, today; and worse is proposed. As we get our government benefits, we resist less while it takes away our rights and controls our lives. Even our local governments are getting into the act. They even tell us how to flush our toilets. How long will it be before they regulate how we wipe our behinds?\nWell knowing the reasons for the demise of past democracies, our Founders, by our Constitution, created a Republic in an effort to avoid those pitfalls.\nIn an article, Are We a Republic or a Democracy, Professor Walter E. Williams of George Mason University, explains how our Founders strove to create a Republic instead of a Democracy, and why. The following are some excerpts:\nIn the article, Professor Williams also reflects on the sad situation we have in America today, in that it appears that today Americans seem to want the same kind of tyranny that our Founders tried to guard against. http://reliableanswers.com/patriot/2005/01/are-we-republic-or-democracy.asp\nWhen our Constitution was adopted the people of our country, against tremendous odds, had just fought and won the revolutionary war against Britain, and had a real sense of freedom and individual responsibility. They also feared the centralized government that a democracy could bring about, and by which their individual freedoms, which they had just gained by blood and sacrifice, could be lost. In Federalist Paper #10, James Madison gave a comprehensive dissertation on how a Republic would guard against such losses of freedom, in an effort to get our proposed Constitution ratified by the people and their states. The following are excerpts from Madison\u2019s paper:\nYale University has made available to the public the entire Federalist Papers at http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/federal/fed.htm\nOur founders gave us a republic, with a representative form of government, and I believe that, under our Constitution, we have the best form of government that there has ever been. But an irresponsible people, electing irresponsible representatives, can ruin any government. We are today experiencing that very danger.\nWe have had so much prosperity and so much ease of living, that we have lost our belief in personal responsibility. With it we have grown to believe in the ability of the government to take care of us, and we have lost our individualism and more importantly, our Faith in God. Instead of considering the good of the country as a whole, candidates promise the people to take care of their every need, including their medical care. And the people, relying on their promises of milk and honey, and equality for everyone, vote for those candidates. They have forgotten about the long term good of the country, the rights and responsibilities of individuals to run their own lives, and are fast making our country a socialized welfare state.\nWe elect people who want to take away our right to bear arms. This will make it more difficult to ever overthrow our yoke of oppression. This is a necessity to socialist and communist countries.\nWe elect people that teach us that perversion is commendable, and who want to remove our rights to say otherwise, or to write otherwise. They want to remove the right of those who disagree with them to be on radio or television.\nThey have no real respect for human life, and particularly the lives of the unborn.\nWhile they remove our rights to significant freedom of speech and freedom of press, they teach us that pornography, obscenity, and perversion are constitutional rights.\nThe freedom of religion allowed is to the extent that it is only within the walls of the church, and not offensive in any way to the atheists and nonbelievers. Practicing our religion in living our lives, and in conducting our schools and our businesses, is not allowed.\nContrary to the wishes of parents, their children are taught false anti-American history in public schools, and are taught that homosexuality and same-sex marriage are commendable.\nThese are the great principles of the Democratic Party of today.\nToday, all of the leading Democratic candidates are preying on the desires of the people for healthcare and other benefits. The idea of President John F. Kennedy, \u201cask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country,\u201d has now been completely reversed. Apparently the Democratic candidates of today think that the person who can get elected is the person who can promise the most government benefits to the people. This is the exact thing that our Founders feared. It leads to a socialized welfare state, the loss of individual freedom and of individual initiative. It will lead to the demise of America as the great bastion of freedom, and to the end of its status as a world power. It will eventually destroy our form of government, as it has in all past democratic experiments.\nPosted in education, History, liberty, Politics\t| Leave a reply\nFew Americans are aware of the fact that we are not a democracy, but a constitutional republic. And fewer Americans could cite the differences between them. The Founders were, among other things, historians. They understood the dangers of majority rule and built numerous checks and balances into our Constitution to thwart the tyranny of the majority. The word \u201cdemocracy\u201d does not appear in any of our founding documents. To a man the founders believed this anonymous quote: \u201cBetter a king than a mob.\u201d\nPlease read the article below by Professor Walter Williams.\nhttp://dailysignal.com/2018/01/17/republic-not-democracy/?utm_source=TDS_Email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MorningBell%22&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiT0dJM01EUTVPRFJtT0RJeCIsInQiOiJ3TksxSHM5NHZKOW55QlwvV0F3ekxNTU1RbWtPY1wvSWRmSklFNkJVR0NlMVJEelIzV0tjUXhIcnI5RUJXN2Z\nPosted in History, liberty, Philosophy, Politics, Uncategorized\t| Leave a reply\nPolitical Participation and the Sanction of the Victim\nSource: Political Participation and the Sanction of the Victim\nIn her 1957 masterpiece, Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand introduced us to a powerful concept which she called \u201cthe sanction of the victim.\u201d This concept is defined as \u201cthe willingness of the good to suffer at the hands of the evil, to accept the role of sacrificial victim for the \u2018sin\u2018 of creating values.\u201d As Rand explains through the character of her hero, John Galt, \u201cEvil is impotent and has no power but that which we let it extort from us,\u201d and, \u201cI saw that evil was impotent\u2026and the only weapon of its triumph was the willingness of the good to serve it.\u201d In Rand\u2019s view, morality requires that we do not sanction our own victimhood. This concept may be original in the thinking of Ayn Rand and is foundational to her moral theory: she holds that evil is a parasite on the good and can only exist if the good tolerates it.\nThe sanction of the victim takes many forms, on the individual level in our personal relationships, and in the social or public realm in our relationship with the State. In Rand\u2019s Atlas Shrugged it primarily takes the form of unearned guilt and the need to acknowledge and show kindness towards our tormentors and those who would exploit us. Ultimately, the sanction of the victim is used by our exploiters as the weapon of our own destruction. The victim becomes an accessory to the crime.\nOn the personal level, among countless situations, the sanction of the victim would apply to the beaten wife, the verbally abused husband, and the parents of mooching offspring that refuse to grow up and leave home. An ever-growing percentage of our youth now choose to remain at home with their parents indefinitely. The parent-victims have been played like a violin by their offspring, conditioned to believe they are financially and emotionally helpless, incapable of surviving independently. The parents are terrified of the unbearable guilt they would carry if they were to send them packing. The parents\u2019 acceptance and acquiescence constitute the sanction of the victim. Consequently, the parents become the victims of their own cowardice.\nThe sanction of the victim in the public or political realm expresses itself in two principal forms: participation in popular democratic processes, including elections, and acknowledging, approving, and extending respect and kindness toward our political exploiters (i.e. elected officials, their many toadies, and the supportive media).\nParticipating in the political process in all its forms constitutes the sanction of the victim. Again, you are an accessory to the crime, a victim of the crimes in which you are an active, but ignorant participant. You are in effect abating the crimes of the political elite. All of these things send the wrong message to the criminals and reprobates that comprise the political class. Voting, attending political rallies, and perhaps worst of all, sending them money, constitute the sanction of the victim. We are telling the political class, \u201cWe approve of your system. Even though you\u2019re robbing us blind and crushing our Constitutional liberties, we still like you. Even though you\u2019re corrupt beyond words, you are nevertheless lovable thugs, and we could not begin to fathom or contemplate life without you.\nSo how do we beat these people? Democracy and every form of representative government based on popular consent with constitutional constraints is the god that failed. We are told that political apathy and disengagement is to blame. I disagree. Disengagement is the solution, not the problem. The sanction of the victim only reinforces the problem, whether it\u2019s a bad marriage or a corrupt, tyrannical government.\nHere is the Three-Step Program for defanging the snake.\nDON\u2019T VOTE. As political satirist P.J. O\u2019Rourke said, \u201cDon\u2019t vote, it only encourages them.\u201d Elections change nothing systemically. They only decide who gets to pick your pocket and hold the boot over your neck. What if slaves had been allowed to elect their plantation overseers?\nWhen has there ever been an election that gives you the choice of A, B, or none of the above? Hmmm? Never. Wouldn\u2019t it be great to live in a voting district with no legislator, no congressman, no senator, no one to kiss up to? Yes, but you don\u2019t have that option. But you can refuse to part of the whole scam by not voting. So don\u2019t vote. Look, you\u2019re being used like a cheap condom. Furthermore, the odds of you casting the deciding vote are far less than the odds of your winning the Big Lotto. In fact, the odds of your being involved in a fatal car accident en route to the polling place are far greater than the odds of casting the deciding vote. When you vote, you are sanctioning the system, its leaders and their crimes.\nVoting is just a bad habit. Like all bad habits, it is self-defeating. Moreover, it serves to reinforce the bad habits of your tormentors. I gave up voting and smoking over 20 years ago. Both healthy choices, and among the most liberating and empowering I had ever made.\nI remember a popular saying when I young: Imagine if they held a war and nobody showed up. Well, imagine if they held an election and nobody showed up. Talking about sending the political class a message !\nSTOP TREATING POLITICIANS WITH KINDNESS. What do politicians crave more than anything? Attention. Attention is their drug of choice. Indeed, politicians must seek the affirmation and approbation and applause of those whom they would never invite into their homes, have a beer with, or call their friends. In other words people like you and me. They have nothing but scorn and contempt for us. And besides, they\u2019re corrupt beyond words. So what do we do? We cram into public auditoriums to catch a glimpse of their faces and suck up their lies like a cat does a saucer of warm milk. We reach out to grasp their hands as though they were the healing hands of a divine savior. If you came home from work to find a burglar carrying your possessions out of your house, would you shake his hands and wish him well? No, you\u2019d call the cops, maybe even beat him up. Why do we treat politicians any differently when they steal our money every day? If we started denying politicians the attention and approval they so crave, maybe they\u2019d consider getting an honest living.\nA few years ago, on my way to work, our district congressman was shaking hands with us commoners at a Metro station in his district. Half asleep, I shook his hand and actually wished him well. Not five seconds later, I realized what a dumb-ass I was\u2014shaking hands with a common criminal, a guttersnipe, a reprobate, a predator, a public parasite. There I was, extending my best wishes to high-ranking political leader who bore direct responsibility for the mess we found ourselves in. Would you shake hands with a cat-burglar, a serial rapist, a pedophile? No, of course not, so why would you shake hands with a politician?\nSo, take the pledge. When a politician reaches to shake your hand, act like the person has a communicable disease (what we used to call the \u201ccooties\u201d). Take your hand back as quickly as possible, and say something pithy like, \u201cNo, thank you. When you sleep with dogs, you get fleas. Don\u2019t ever try to shake my hand again.\u201d If more of us started treating politicians with the disdain and contempt they deserve, they might begin to consider a more respectable line of work.\n3-REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS AT ANY LEVEL. A good friend of mine is constantly urging me and everyone else he knows to \u201cget involved. It\u2019s the only way we can fix things.\u201d\nAs Sherman Potter would say, \u201cHorsehockey !\u201d What sort of track record does popular participation have compared to apathy and disengagement? None. Politicians have always used elections and every form of democratic process to sanction and justify the criminal enterprise we call government. It just gives them cover. Government is, and has always been, nothing more than an organized crime syndicate, a protection racket sanctioned by the many forms of popular approval\u2014which Ayn Rand called the sanction of the victim.\nSo, stay home, focus on your beautiful family, your kids\u2019 Little League and soccer games. Spend quality time with your friends. Work at your hobbies, do crossword puzzles, listen to a symphony, read a good book, take your spouse and kids to the movies. Watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Return the ladder you borrowed from your neighbor seven years ago. Clean out your fridge, there\u2019s probably stuff in there since you were in grammar school. Take your grandkids to the playground. Have a glass of champagne with your breakfast cornflakes. Tell your kid to rake the leaves while you nap in a hammock. Go to church, bake brownies, take your dog for a walk; mow the lawn; clean out your gutters; weed the garden, shovel the snow in your driveway. Be at peace with your Maker, whatever you imagine him to be. But whatever you do, avoid politicians like stray dogs.\nPosted in election, History, liberty, Politics\t| 1 Reply\nLook How Far We\u2019ve Come, Folks\nPOLITICAL CLASS OF 1787",

Coyote and Road Runner limited edition sericel by Chuck Jones was created for sale and is a wonderful opportunity to have a classic image of his great characters. Are you the Coyote or the Road Runner?\nWile E. Coyote (also known simply as \"The Coyote\") and the Road Runner are a duo of characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. In the cartoons, the Coyote repeatedly attempts to catch and subsequently eat the Road Runner, a fast-running ground bird, but is never successful. Instead of his species' animal instincts, the Coyote uses absurdly complex contraptions (sometimes in the manner of Rube Goldberg) and elaborate plans to pursue his prey, resulting in his devices comically backfiring with the Coyote often getting injured in slapstick fashion. One running gag involves the Coyote trying in vain to shield himself with a little parasol against a great falling boulder that is about to crush him.\nThe characters were created by animation director Chuck Jones in 1948 for Warner Bros., while the template for their adventures was the work of writer Michael Maltese. The characters star in a long-running series of theatrical cartoon shorts (the first 16 of which were written by Maltese) and occasional made-for-television cartoons. It was originally meant to parody chase cartoons like Tom and Jerry, but became popular in its own right.\nThe Coyote appears separately as an occasional antagonist of Bugs Bunny in five shorts from 1952 to 1963: Operation: Rabbit, To Hare Is Human, Rabbit's Feat, Compressed Hare, and Hare-Breadth Hurry. While he is generally silent in the Coyote-Road Runner shorts, he speaks with a refined accent in these solo outings (except for Hare-Breadth Hurry), beginning with 1952's Operation: Rabbit, introducing himself as \"Wile E. Coyote \u2014 Genius\", voiced with an upper-class accent by Mel Blanc. The Road Runner vocalizes only with a signature sound, \"Beep, Beep\", recorded by Paul Julian (although some viewers claim it sounds more like \"meep meep\"), and an accompanying \"popping-cork\" tongue noise.\nTo date, 48 cartoons have been made featuring these characters (including the three CGI shorts), the majority by Chuck Jones.\nTV Guide included Wile E. Coyote in its 2013 list of The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time.\nTags: chuck-jones, looney tunes, road runner, sericel, wile e coyote",

        "title": "ARC / John Everett Millais",
        "raw_content": "Francois-Dominique-Aime Milhomme\nWilliam Henry Millais\n76.2 x 111.8 cms | 30 x 44 ins\nBirmingham Museums and Art Gallery, Birmingham, United Kingdom\nManson and Woods Ltd., London, United Kingdom\nThe Black Brunswicker\nLady Lever Art Gallery, Bebington, United Kingdom\nFerdinand Lured by Ariel\nFitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, United Kingdom\nGuildhall Art Gallery, London, United Kingdom\nMillais was born in Southampton in 1829, the son of John William and Emily Mary Millais. His father came from a well-known Jersey family, and his mother nee Evamy came from a prosperous family of Southampton saddlers. Emily Millais had been married previously to one Enoch Hodgkinson, by whom she had two sons. By her marriage to John William Millais she had, as well as John Everett a daughter, and another son William Henry, who was the close companion of his famous younger brother throughout his life, and a well-known painter of watercolours The family initially moved back to Jersey and then to London in 1838, specifically to further the artistic education of their precocious son. Armed with a letter of introduction they visited Sir Martin Archer Shee, the President of the Royal Academy. As a result of this meeting Millais became the youngest ever pupil at the Royal Academy Schools in the summer of 1840. He was known at the RA Schools as \"The Child,\" and his talent caused considerable jealousy amongst fellow students. Millais was very thin, extremely agile, and physically brave, and was well-able to cope with the bullying he encountered at this time. At the RA Schools he met William Holman Hunt, who became a lifelong friend, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. From the meeting of these three youthful idealists the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was born.\nMillais was by far the most naturally gifted of the founders of the PRB. His early paintings in the PR style were amazingly accomplished for such a young artist. He produced pictures which were minutely observed, with a painstaking attention to detail, which meant that painting them was a slow and laborious process. He would typically paint landscape backgrounds in the summer, and add figures in the foreground in his studio during the winter. Each of his pictures was also the result of a large number of detailed preparatory drawings. He went to considerable trouble and expense, even as an impecunious young artist to find the right props, a notable example of this being the dress worn by Ophelia, for which he paid four pounds a considerable sum at that time.\nThe first paintings exhibited at the RA by Millais and the other Pre-Raphaelites were initially greeted with derision, followed by vicious critical attacks, the most notorious of these being that by Charles Dickens, on the famous early painting Christ in The House of His Parents, exhibited at the RA in 1850, in which Dickens spoke of the young Jesus as \"a hideous wry-necked blubbering boy.\" It is difficult for us to understand today why this particular work was felt to be so objectionable, but the depiction of the family of Christ as ordinary people was regarded as very disrespectful. When it emerged that this group were called the Pre-Raphaelites, and that they did not agree with the commonly held view that Raphael was the greatest artist of all time critical attacks on them reached a crescendo. As a result of these attacks John Ruskin, the foremost art critic of his day was asked to intervene, which he did writing a letter to The Times on behalf of the young artists. From this intervention came the meeting between Ruskin and Millais, which was to result in the most famous sexual scandal of the day. Ruskin had married Euphemia Chalmers Grey, daughter of a Scottish family living near Perth. Ruskin, his wife, and Millais set off together on a holiday in Scotland, and a strong attraction developed between Effie Ruskin and Millais. It transpired that Ruskin had not consummated the marriage. It is amazing for us today to learn that Effie knew that something was missing from her marriage, but that she was so innocent she did not know what it was. Following an acrimonious and notorious divorce case, Effie married Millais, and rapidly produced eight children. It is interesting to note that the publicly-humiliated Ruskin had the generosity of spirit to continue to provide critical support for the artist.\nThe Move Away From The Pre-Raphaelite Style.\nThe marriage of the John and Effie Millais proved to be a catalyst in the evolution of his style which started in the early 1860s. Millais said that it was no longer economically possible for him to spend the whole day painting an area \"no larger than a five shilling piece.\" Thus he changed to a broader, looser, more spontaneous style of painting, with a strong element of sentiment, which was perfectly in keeping with the popular taste of the day. This change has been seen by many critics as a great artist selling-out, and becoming a mere populist. These attacks persist to this day. Millais also became one of the most successful portrait painters of Victorian Britain. Some of these portraits are extremely successful by whichever criteria they are judged. Physical likenesses are, it goes without saying, excellent, and the best portraits as well as being wonderfully painted, are brilliantly successful in illustrating the character of the sitter. In the painting Twins, of 1876 Millais produced a portrait of the identical daughters of a wealthy manufacturer. The markedly different characters of the confident and assertive Kate, and the more nervous introverted Edith are illustrated wonderfully well. The portrait of Tennyson, now in the Lady Lever Gallery is dramatic and powerful, and is quite simply a masterpiece. None of this is to say that the later portraits are of uniform quality. The famous painting of the dying Disraeli is a lost opportunity, and some of the pictures of children are overly-sentimental pot-boilers.\nThe later paintings at their best are of great virtue. They are spontaneous, the use of paint is brilliant, with a creamy, textured surface. The reaction against Millais after his death was greatly exaggerated, and the blanket condemnation cannot be justified today. The Scottish Autumnal landscapes are also of very considerable merit.\nMillais The Man.\nMillais was in essence a great craftsman, and was not in any way an intellectual. He was a Victorian: hearty, with a love of hunting, shooting, and fishing. Throughout his life he remained at heart a large enthusiastic schoolboy. He was a devoted father, and was particularly indulgent to his daughters. He had the gift of inspiring loyalty and affection amongst a wide circle of friends. Fellow artists who one would not expect to be sympathetic to Millais the artist regarded Millais the man with affection, Edward Burne-Jones was amongst his admirers. The artist himself did not feel that he had compromised his standards. In later life he said \"I may honestly say that I have never consciously placed an idle touch upon canvas; and that I have always been honest and hardworking.\" This is not the comment of a cynical, financially motivated individual.\nIn later life Millais became very materially successful, earning over \u00a330,000 a year. In 1878 the Millais family moved into a vast house at 2 Palace Gate, Kensington, which had been designed and built for their use, and as an affirmation of the success of John Everett. The Scottish landscapes I mentioned above were painted during visits to a baronial house in Perthshire which Millais rented. Much of the adverse criticism directed at the artist since his death has been motivated by disapproval of his material success and ostentatious display of his wealth. In 1885 Millais became the first English artist to be made a baronet.\nMillais The Last Years And After.\nIn the early 1890s the wonderful facility to paint that the artist had used to such effect for over forty years started to decline. Millais was painfully aware of this situation. In 1892 he suffered from what was at first thought to be influenza, but turned out to be the onset of throat cancer-he had for many years been a constant pipe-smoker. In 1895 Millais gave an address to the Royal Academy in the absence of Leighton. He was very hoarse and giving the speech was a considerable ordeal. When Leighton died in January 1896, the dying Millais was elected PRA in his stead. His condition deteriorated and by July he was very ill. Queen Victoria contacted the PRA and asked if there was anything she could for him. Millais asked that the Queen received his wife, who had been excluded from court circles throughout their married life, due to the scandal attached to the annulment of her marriage to Ruskin - the now rather elderly Lady Millais was duly presented at court. Millais died on the 13th August 1896. He was succeeded by Sir Edward Poynter as President of the Royal Academy.\nSince his death Millais the artist and man has consistently received severe handling from some critics. The magnificent exhibition of his portraits at the National Portrait Gallery in 1999 was the subject of much hostile comment from such luminaries as Richard Dorment in the Daily Telegraph. In reality the censure is based on disapproval of Millais the man, and of his material success. This is sad, unfair, spiteful, and unnecessary.\nJohn Millais was one of the great nineteenth century artists.\nOur thanks go to Paul Ripley for kindly allowing us to quote these articles from his website, Victorian Art in Britain. Victorian Art in Britain is a major souce of information on Millais on the internet.\nObituary of John Everett Millais, The Times, 14th August 1896; with commentary by Paul Ripley.\nReview of the Millais Exhibition at the Birmingham Art Gallery, by Paul Ripley",

At Ash Investigations we aim to locate these individuals and/or legally serve the documentation. Ash Investigations Private Investigators use their 45-years of experience in detective work, law enforcement, prosecution, and FBI training to locate and track absent individuals. Our Investigators at Ash Investigations\u2019 Houston and Dallas offices use the same methods that police use to track suspects; including, background checks, utility, and phone records, surveillance on known associates, tracking vehicles, tracing last known whereabouts and using other methods to gather leads and find evidence.\nThe process of finding a witness will vary\nSometimes it may be hard to track down a witness due to certain circumstances. If they have left, skip tracking is used to find them. In any scenario, when the witness is finally located, someone will interview them and gather facts pertaining to the investigation. After the investigator will collect a statement and write one as well. It is important that this is done within the law so that is consistent with the court\u2019s evidence. A process server delivers the legal documentation to the individual being served. These documents explain why they were issued and the mandatory steps that need to be taken. They typically include for the individual to show up for court, reason and the date. We have seen a time span of it being delivered within 24 hours to a couple of weeks.\nA PI works closely with a law firm service to contact clients cases who have been closed for years. PIs are trained and have strong people skills that have proven to persuade witnesses that may not want to talk. Chances are high that witnesses have moved since the crime was committed. Hiring a PI will not only save you time but money as well. Famous people can be difficult locating at times. It gets difficult because most of their personal information is hidden due to paparazzi and they typically have multiple addresses that might not be in their name. Let us track them for you.\nCall Ash Investigations today to speak with one of our Find A Witness Investigators at (281) 578-0135 to receive a no-cost, confidential consultation 24-hours a day with one of our licensed Private Investigators with over 45-years experience about your surveillance needs.

Digital businesses use different marketing strategies to get the highest possible number of conversions, one of which social proof is a powerful strategy.

Basically, social proof provides people a sense of trust and credibility about your company. This Is why it\u2019s crucial that you know that which Proof is and how it can be quite helpful for you whenever you want to achieve a high conversion speed \u2013it\u2019s very important to continuously improve your conversion metrics since they can make the difference between success and failure. Proof is a software for your site that can make that difference and have a large effect on what you are attempting to achieve with your brand. Informational Influence\nIt\u2019s Clear to see that utilizing the fundamentals of social proof can increase the rate of conversion for your site and have a noticeable impact on your level of earnings. In fact, it\u2019s understood that world-renowned companies including Amazon or WordPress, have greatly favored this kind of conversion fostering software. Among the top conversion boosting social proof softwares out there is called Proof, which will be an outstanding program which employs the recent activity of your present clients to convert the traffic of your site to new customers.\nProof Includes a free trial version that lasts 14 weeks and six paid versions that adapt to various needs and requirements. Now we will make a brief description of every one of these. Each program has two forms of payment: one monthly and one yearly, which comprises a two-month free deal.\n\u00b7 Basic: This plan is the easiest and using least number of options, but it\u2019s Endless Notifications, Unlimited Websites, A/B Testing, Conversion Analytics and Recent Activities alternative. It has a price of $29 a month or $290 per year, even when opting for the annual payment program.\n\u00b7 Pro: This plan has the exact same standard program alternatives, such as Live Visitor Count and Hot Streaks along with a 10K visitor cap. It\u2019s a cost of $79 a month.\n\u00b7 Business: This program has the same Pro program options, such as Conversion Cards and Priority Support. Additionally, it has a 50K visitor cap or 100K visitor cap for monthly programs and yearly plans . It has a cost of $129 a month.\n\u00b7 Premium: The Premium plan has the same Business plan choices.

The cost varies depending on the services requested and the size of those.\nProof Is a program with an excellent reputation within the electronic social proof space and these are a few of the reasons which have taken it to that point. It\u2019s important to say these pros and cons are determined after considering the facts and feedback from multiple users so as to have a greater awareness of understanding about exactly what it is that makes Proof such a workable (or not-so viable) option that you utilize.\n\u00b7 The major tool of Proof is the notifications of the action of those folks in your web site, that are shown to be seeing your website or buying something on your website, which results in a considerable increase in conversions. This is quite useful since it encourages your prospects to take actions that they would not have, unless they found proof that others had been doing just what they may have been reluctant about.\n\u00b7 A little but very advantageous feature is the live visitor counter; this helps to provide a clearer idea of the reach of your webpage and functions as a snowball which increases over time; this connects quite nicely with the first benefit.\n\u00b7 The platform has a variant perfectly accommodated to mobile devices. If you are the kind of person who has to travel a great deal or you are not often on your own notebook, then this will be the best choice for you.\n\u00b7 It adapts very easily to a website, naturally and works without hindering the speed and operability of it.\n\u00b7 The price, especially the best plans may be somewhat excessive especially compared to its nearest competitors, so for somebody with no high purchasing power it might be too much to shell upfront for this software.\n\u00b7 Something which could be a bit silly but that a few people do not enjoy is the impossibility of removing the Proof logo. Informational Influence\nProof Is a system that is going to offer a means to your new to standout and it\u2019s Going to assist you in the several ways that can boost your conversions. Even though It may be somewhat expensive, it\u2019s also worth taking into consideration how useful It is and how much of a difference it can do for you in the long and short term.",

        "title": "Replacement of Older Smoke Detectors - Home Inspection in Arizona",
        "raw_content": "NFPA Recommends Replacement of Older Smoke Detectors\nSmoke detectors are one of the most important safety features of a home. Properly installed, working smoke detectors will provide the early warning needed to safely escape a fire. But how do you make sure the detectors are working? One important way is to replace them after 10 years as recommended by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).\nAs electronic devices, detectors are subject to random failures. Field studies indicate that about 3% (3 in 100) of older smoke detectors fail within the first year. After 30 years nearly all of the detectors will have failed, most years earlier. At 10 years there is roughly a 30% chance of failure of older units. National studies found home smoke detectors, when they fail, tend to fail totally as opposed to experiencing a simple loss of sensitivity. Regular monthly testing by pressing and holding the test button will help discover detector failure as well as a dead or missing battery. Replace detectors designed without a test button unless part of a security system.\nRecent changes in detector design makes electronic failure much less likely than with older models.\nBOTTOM LINE: Test all smoke detectors monthly and replace all units over ten years old.\nDuring an Arizona home inspection, the inspector may not know the age of your smoke detectors, so it may be a good idea to have them replaced if they are older than 10 years old or if any fail the test button test.",

        "title": "Tick Repellent - stay safe when outdoors, repels ticks",
        "raw_content": "Prevent tick, what repels ticks on humans\nTicks are everywhere. You find them in your yard, far out in the forest or on your favorite family campsite. The sit around many months waiting for their prey, which is everything that has warm blood. It\u2019s not just for the bite and the discomfort it creates. Ticks can transmit dangerous diseases through their bite. It is important to know about tick repellent and what repels ticks on humans to prevent getting bitten.\nThe best protection against ticks and tick-borne diseases is knowledge and finding the best Tick Repellent. The more you know about ticks, how and where they live and the diseases they can transmit, the more you can protect yourself and your family with the best tick repellent.\nThere a plenty tick repellents and remedies available but which help best. You can choose between a chemical and natural tick repellent. A tick repellent may be applied to your body, but there are also products that are applied to clothing to keep ticks off.\nTicks belong to the family of spiders (arachnids), an adult tick has 8 legs. Insects have 6 legs and may have wings too. There are over 800 species of ticks known worldwide. Ticks are ectoparasites (living on instead of inside a host). They need to feed on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amphibians. Ticks are carriers of a number of diseases that affect both humans and animals. Almost all ticks belong to one of two major families, the Ixodidae or hard ticks, which are difficult to crush, and the Argasidae or soft ticks.\nTicks live cycle\nThe adult tick will again sit and wait for a host. At all, a tick spends most of its life waiting on the ground, in the undergrowth, on shrubs or grasses. The female Adult tick needs the blood of the host to produce up to 3,000 eggs. A full-bodied female tick weighs almost 200 times as much as a hungry tick. To take up so much blood may take the female tick up to 10 days before voluntarily leaving her victim. The male tick can fertilize the eggs of the female without any further blood meal.\nTick Bite \u2013 risks when bitten by a tick\nThe Bite: When a host is found, a tick may walk around for a couple of hours until it finds a bite site. It then cuts through the skin with its jaw claws and anchors its \u201charpoon-like spike\u201d (the hypostome) into the wound. The small wound cuts capillaries from which blood flows, a tick is a so-called pool feeder. Before taking blood in, the tick releases a saliva secret, which contains several important components:\n\u2013A coagulation inhibitor, which prevents clogging of the spike (hypostome) and increases blood flow to the puncture site.\n\u2013A kind of adhesive that firmly anchors the mouth tools in the skin.\n\u2013An anesthetic that makes the puncture site insensitive.\n\u2013An anti-inflammatory agent which is intended to avoid stimulation of the body\u2019s immune defense at the injection site.\nThe blood is then taken up by the tick.\nInfection: While feeding blood from its host, the tick regurgitates indigestible food residues into its host at regular intervals. In this process, pathogens which may have been contracted from a previous host and which have been preserved or even multiplied in the tick body can be transferred to a human. the infection does not happen immediately, but the longer an infected tick is feeding, the higher the risk of contracting a tick-transmitted disease becomes. Lyme disease contraction, for example, takes about 6 to 24 hours after the tick bite. Therefore, a fast and careful removal of a tick is urgently recommended.\nThe development stage of ticks also has an influence on the risk of infection. A tick in the nymph stage contains ten times more pathogen than an adult tick.\nTick-transmitted diseases\nTick-borne diseases are caused by various types of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. A tick bite may cause more than one disease as ticks can carry several different bacteria in their intestine. There are 16 known illnesses that ticks may transmit to humans, the most common are below. Applying tick repellent can only reduce the risk of a tick bite, there is no 100% protection against tick-transmitted diseases.\nOr Lyme borreliosis is the most common tick-transmitted disease. It is caused by bacteria that lingers in the intestine of the tick. An infection is therefore only possible after several hours of suction time. Since there is no vaccination against human borreliosis, the most important prevention is the avoidance of tick bites as well as the immediate removal of the parasites.\nIf infected a few days, several weeks to a few month may pass from the tick bite to the first symptoms. Since the signs are not clear but are typical of numerous diseases, a clear diagnosis is often difficult.\nLyme disease symptoms may include:\nfever, limb pain, joint pain and inflammation, general exhaustion, a rash, headache, paralysis (especially in the face), circulatory and heart problems, strong pain, dry, aching and thinning skin, etc\u2026\nThere is currently no vaccination or a special cure for Lyme disease. However, the bacterial infection can be completely healed if antibiotics are used at an early stage. If the disease has already developed into a chronic course, the therapy is much more difficult and not always successful.\nHuman Anaplasmosis:\nThis is another form of a bacterial disease and the second most common when it comes to infections that are caused by ticks. It is transmitted through black-legged or deer ticks. The bacteria target and infect white blood cells altering the life cycle of these blood cells.\nlethargy, lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, neck pain, joint pain, difficulty in moving, sensitivity to light, etc\u2026\nThere is no vaccine against human anaplasmosis. Antibiotics are the only form of treatment.\nBabesiosis:\nThis is a parasitic malaria-like disease caused by Babesia, a microscopic parasite that infects red blood cells. It\u2019s a rare disease and most infections are asymptomatic with only mild flu-like symptoms. Only in very rare instances can it be severe and sometimes fatal. It is transmitted by the deer tick. A major host for the parasite is cattle, the disease is also known as Texas cattle fever.\nThese symptoms will include tiredness, lack of appetite, muscle ache, chills, and fever. Most patients spontaneously recover. Symptomatic patients will be treated with malaria medication like clindamycin and quinine.\nRocky Mountain Spotted Fever:\nThis dangerous disease is transmitted through the Lone Star and the American dog tick. It is caused by Rickettsia a parasitic bacteria. When infected, you will feel severely ill and immediate treatment is required.\nFirst symptoms are sudden rising fever, headache, nausea with vomiting, muscle pain and skin rash.\nDiarrhea and abdominal pain may occur. In early stages, the disease is difficult to diagnose since the skin rash becomes visible only about six days after the first symptoms.\nThe treatment must be started immediately in case of suspicion. Effective antibiotics are doxycycline and chloramphenicol, the latter should only be considered as a reserve because of possible serious side effects. The treatment is continued for at least three days after the fever.\nEhrlichiosis:\nSymptoms of this disease will start one to 21 days after being bitten by an infected lone star or brown dog tick. It\u2019s caused by a parasitic bacteria that will infect and kill white blood cells. Symptoms may include fatigue, headache, muscle aches, fever, vomiting, nausea and in rare cases a skin rash.\nAntibiotics such as doxycycline and minocycline are the medications of choice There is no vaccine against ehrlichiosis. Preventing tick bites is the main measure against the disease.\nIf symptoms occur after a tick bite, a doctor should immediately be consulted. No matter what disease \u2013 a fast diagnosis and treatment can prevent severe progression and late effects or at least reduce the risk\nTaggedgearrepellent\nPrevious Article Archer Outdoor Gear 1 Man Camping and Backpacking Tent Review\nNext Article Wenzel children\u2019s camping tent review, camping tent for kids",

If you have a book you\u2019re trying to publish\u2014even if it\u2019s your first\u2014 it\u2019s often helpful to have a skilled literary agent.\nIn this article, we\u2019ll explain the role of a literary agent and help prepare you to approach one of your own.

It only includes money that the publishing house pays you \u2013 whether this is advances or royalties. If a literary agent quotes you over 15 percent, you should consider looking at other agents.\nHow Do I Find a Reputable Literary Agent?\nFinding a reputable literary agent is often very difficult \u2013 there are tens of thousands of authors searching for a good one.

For example, on www.agentquery.com you can find a range of literary agent postings and contact agents directly. It\u2019s important to try and find an agent that has a proven track record and a sound plan to promote your book.\nAgents will often showcase previous published works and clients to help you understand their experience. You should be prioritizing working with agents that only receive commission once you get paid.

        "raw_content": "Architecture is branding | http://bb-creative.com\nIt strikes me as funny, that after having been a professional designer for my entire adult life, the realization that design is a perceived value has only recently come around full circle.\nAs I prepare notes for this paper I find myself blowing the dust off of various college stalwarts; Genius Loci, the Poetics of Space, and the obligatory papers by Heidegger regarding building or design. My head starts to spin. Not because it\u2019s complicated, but rather by how off the mark they are relative to the world we actually inhabit.\nDesign is purpose driven. Design seeks to solve a programmatic constraint. We need to achieve x with the resources/limitations of y. It has been this way from the dawn of time, and we, humans, are the ones that create the programmatic constraints.\nThe naturalness with which architecture and design need to speak, understand and practice persuasion (brand), lies at the heart of any real world design challenge; \u201chow do we achieve the desired result?\u201d Unless you are building a remote cabin for yourself, you will most likely want to solicit a particular response from others relative to your design. \u201cIt looks modern, it looks classical, it makes me feel \u2026\u201d.\nHence the real definition of a brand; it\u2019s what others perceive your design to be, not what you want it to be. A brand is nothing more nor nothing less. Branding should not be confused with marketing and advertising; the latter are tools to speak about the product after the fact (or the design in our case).\nEngineers build, Architects brand.\nAn engineer needs to build a structure that will resist wind loads of x and allow floors to handle a live load of y. Either they achieve this or they don\u2019t, and if they don\u2019t they will be looking for a new job. Designers however, need to design a structure that is perceived in a particular way by many (\u2026and to do so within certain constraints, ie. time & budget). If Designers do not achieve the desired perception, they too will soon be looking for a new job.\nSolving problems of reality versus solving problems of perception, that\u2019s where the real value of design can make a big difference.\nThe pyramid of Giza is a great example of branding in architecture. \u201cDo you Gods see me?\u201d The 20 years and 4,000 slaves it took to build it was solely for that purpose, so that the perception of the Gods would be \u201cwow, that\u2019s an amazing tomb, that guy must be really important\u201d. If the perception is any different, it is a total failure. A great design challenge would be, \u201ccan I get noticed by the Gods at fraction of that effort? I bet you there are plenty creative designers out there that would say \u201cYes! And I have an idea.\u201d\nYou are designing to the desired perception. Perceived value = brand value.\nBernini, one of my favorite designers, was a master of branding. He understood that design is a perceived value better than anyone else from the Renaissance. While Michelangelo was busy saying that \u2018David\u2019 was inside the rock already and he had only to remove the access stone around it, Bernini was busy loading the fountain in Piazza Navona with metaphors. The result is a moment of pure design genius. Next time you are in Piazza Navona, stand behind the cowering Rio de la Plata figure as it faces Borromini\u2019s church and see what you perceive. He did this again with the colonnade at St Peter\u2019s Square, he liked Michelangelo\u2019s dome but disliked Maderno\u2019s fa\u00e7ade which obscured it, so he pulled the center of the piazza back in order to reveal the dome. His design was directly connected to achieving the desired perception of \u201cwhat a majestic dome\u201d for the common man strolling to or through St Peters.\nA more contemporary example is Philip Stark\u2019s work, particularly the many hotels he did for Ian Schrager. The directive (desired perception) was very simple; make the guest feel like they are on a stage, that they are the starring actors. That was the desired perception, and boy did he hit the out of the park. If you were lucky enough to walk through the Royalton on 44th st in Manhattan before it was ridiculously remodeled, you would have felt exactly that way and it felt wonderful.\nI mean no disrespect to Luis Kahn when he asks a brick what it wants to be, (\u2026his answer; an arch) but isn\u2019t a better question what the overall desired effect needs it to be? (\u2026hardly on par with Kahn, but James Wine\u2019s Best stores elicited a completely different result out of that same brick).\nThe veneration of architecture is not good for design, we should stop building monuments to the earth, the genius loci, the Phenomenology of Architecture, the earth doesn\u2019t know, it doesn\u2019t care, however we humans do know and we care. We are the \u201csegment\u201d that the added value proposition of design enriches.\nIf we want to design things to make this a better world, we have to convince its inhabitants that it is going to make it a better world. We have to deal with us.\nSo the challenge of design is intrinsically connected with the challenge of perception. Perception is what we believe something to be. For a designer its realizing that intangible value constitutes a greater part of overall value.\nSo before you pull out the sketch book, think big, think desired perception, think brand.",

Mason believes the video may have been pointed out to her district superiors by some \"malicious\" person.\n\"I've worked so hard to try and make sure I can provide for my daughters and our livelihood to have it jeopardized just for doing something that I'm passionate about,\" said the single mother of two. Along with her pole dancing instruction credentials, Mason has a master's degree in psychology, a bachelor's in English and a phlebotomy certificate.\nMason said she was told she violated one of the school's policies, which reads, \"As role models for the school system, students, however, employees are responsible for their public conduct ... even when they are not performing their job duties as employees of the school system.\"\nIn the video, which was reportedly sent to the system's assistant superintendent, Mason did a routine to Eminem's \"Superman.\"\n\"The superintendent, the principal and another woman basically berated me about how my song choice was vulgar, and that if parents found out they would have an issue,\" Mason told BuzzFeed News. \"She also asked me what I thought seventh- and eighth-grade boys would think and whether they would still view me as a teacher.\"\nHowever, Mason said she went into pole dancing as a means of de-stressing.\n\"It was my outlet, my sanctuary, my peace, my go-to to unwind, my time to be free. Letting everything go and just be myself, no matter what form that took,\" Mason said. \"I remember the first heartache I and my daughters felt when I found out I didn\u2019t get the position that would take me off government assistance. My girls were so saddened they were crying. I felt so horrible for what happened I cried too. I blamed myself. I began to ask if I should keep my passion or part with it.\"\nMason confirmed she would try to appeal the school's decision to get her job back.\n\"I've never felt ashamed of pole dancing.

        "raw_content": "How Does LeBron Shape the Lakers' Youth and 'MUD' into a Contender?\nEric Pincus@@EricPincusTwitter LogoLA Lakers Lead WriterSeptember 25, 2018\nLOS ANGELES \u2014 Normalcy has returned to the Lakers: The team opened media day Monday before the 2018-19 season with the biggest star in the game leading off the interviews.\n\"What, if anything, at this stage of your career creates pressure for you?\" The Athletic's Andy Kamenetzky asked.\n\"Nothing,\" LeBron James answered, repeating with a smile and a laugh, \"Nothing.\"\nThe Lakers have always been about superstars. It's been over five years since Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon, hastening his decline and ultimate retirement in 2016.\nJames, at 33, is joining the Western Conference for the first time in his career, following eight straight NBA Finals appearances and three titles. Do the Lakers have the roster to push James' streak to nine, getting past the Golden State Warriors in the competitive West?\n\"We've got a long way to get to Golden State,\" James said. \"They can pick up right where they left off with training camp...we're picking up from scratch.\"\nJames joins a Lakers squad with an intriguing, young core. The team also brought in several veterans, each with colorful personalities, in Rajon Rondo, Michael Beasley, Lance Stephenson and JaVale McGee.\nOn Instagram, James gave the group of four the nickname \"MUD,\" for misunderstood, underappreciated and determined.\nDef Pen Hoops @DefPenHoops\nLeBron James nickname for the #Lakers bench unit? MUD https://t.co/SORSHiLBZo\nJames specifically gushed about Rondo and his ability to think the game.\n\"It's going to be a really cool moment when I step on the floor with Rondo,\" James said. \"Since I've competed against him over the years, he's always been one of the most cerebral players, smartest players that I've ever competed against. One of the most competitive guys I've competed against.\n\"There's not many of us in this league that can actually think and prepare with our minds before we even step on the floor and actually play the game like the two of us.\"\nJames is going to rely on Rondo for more than just his play, as the veteran point guard has already begun studying film with Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma.\n\"It was probably one of the best film sessions I've ever had,\" Ball said. \"I'm definitely going to learn a lot from him this year.\"\nRondo was impressed by Kuzma's offseason dedication.\n\"He's on my good side,\" Rondo said. \"I don't know how many second-year players are watching [film from pickup games] and critiquing themselves.\"\nConsider Rondo as James' lieutenant, helping the team's younger stars learn a winning mentality.\nRajon RondoMarcio Jose Sanchez/Associated Press/Associated Press\n\"Just watching him play pickup, five-on-five is crazy, because he's talking the whole time,\" Ball said. \"For me, I want to be more of a vocal leader. He can definitely help me with that.\"\nWhen it comes to the team's less experienced players, James liked what he saw last season.\n\"Watching these guys from the outside looking in, the level of pace that they play with, I'm excited about,\" he said. \"I love running up and down.\"\nThe Lakers were third in the league in pace at 102.62 possessions per 48 minutes. The Cleveland Cavaliers were 12th at 100.06, but historically James has not played on teams that run as Los Angeles did through 2017-18.\nCoach Luke Walton expects his squad to continue to run.\n\"Whether it's the same speed, faster, slower...we'll get to know our team as training camp goes. But we're going to play fast,\" Walton said. \"We have a very deep team\u2014a lot of guys that can push the ball. We want to attack. We think a big strength of ours this year will be our depth\u2014the amount of guys we can throw at you. When you have that type of team, it's a big advantage to push it down and make other teams play more possessions and play at a faster pace.\"\nThe Lakers do have a deep roster, albeit a young one. Only James, Rondo and McGee are in their 30s.\nAs far as the incoming veterans, they're ready to follow James' example.\n\"We have a lot of dogs\u2014guys who aren't afraid to go get those 50-50 balls,\" McGee said. \"If they get hit in the mouth, they're going to hit you right back in your mouth. They're not afraid of anything. I feel like a good core of me, Rondo, Lance, Mike Beasley\u2014we're just grimy guys who really like to get down and don't worry about the pretty stuff.\"\nThe veterans aren't as much of a worry as the younger players. Bryant certainly had his stone-faced moments in the face of his teammates' immaturity.\nKenny Ducey @KennyDucey\nKobe having none of it https://t.co/lgDCQfQalf\nThe blending of personalities won't be seamless, but from James' perspective, his Lakers teammates have a lot to offer.\n\"When you see how many guys who can do multiple things\u2014pass, shoot, rebound, put the ball on the court, get out and run\u2014it's going to be fun to see how I can implement myself into that,\" James said. \"We're all new to each other. We have to take our bumps and our bruises. There's going to be good times and bad times...but if we continue to work the process and sacrifice for one another and put in the commitment and the time to being great, everything else will fall into place.\"\nMeanwhile, each of the young Lakers worked on their games over the offseason.\n\"Zo has improved his body; you can tell just looking at him how much stronger he got,\" Josh Hart said. \"I haven't seen a player improve as much as [Kuzma has] improved.\"\nKuzma said he worked on his guard skills to add to his versatility, but much of his focus was on the defensive end.\n\"That's been my focus the whole summer: really trying to get my body right, get stronger, quicker, more agile. The knock on me last year was defense,\" Kuzma said. \"That's one area that I really wanted to fine-tune.\"\nBall, who was limited over the summer with a knee injury, strengthened his body in the gym while improving his jump shot.\n\"Everybody is saying my jumper is this new thing,\" Ball said. \"To me, it's not really changed a lot. I think I just got a lot stronger, so I don't really have to fling the ball like I did last year. It's moved a little bit more to the middle, but it's still on the left side. I'm just trying to focus on my mechanics, keeping my hand up, my elbow in more.\"\nRondo, who acknowledged he's probably on the roster to mentor Ball (\"It's obvious\"), was impressed by the 20-year-old's rookie season.\n\"If you're a point guard that shoots 28 times a game or you dominate the ball every time down the court, the guys running the lane three or four times haven't touched the ball...the body language can start to drop, and now defensively, they're not giving you the energy you need,\" Rondo said. \"Watching a young guy at that age [in Ball], being able to share the ball and he's not about himself, it's very refreshing that there are still point guards coming up that want to play the game the right way.\"\nBrandon Ingram worked to improve his game on many levels with the arrival of ball-handlers like James and Rondo.\n\"I knew I was going to have the basketball in my hand. I knew I was going to be off the ball. It was important for me to work on different things, whether it was cutting to the basket...catch-and-shoot, anything,\" Ingram said.\nHe has a lineup in mind that he thinks could be dangerous.\nFrom left to right: Lonzo Ball, LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram.Andrew D. Bernstein/Getty Images\n\"Having Lonzo Ball, Rondo and LeBron James on the basketball floor, maybe with me and Kuz, so we can just shoot everything,\" Ingram said. \"That's incredible, just to have those guys on the floor who can see the game like that and then you have scorers and defenders. That's a lot of talent when you step on the floor.\"\nBeyond James' individual talents on the court, he's the team's leader. The \"MUD\" veterans are ready to do whatever they can to support him. The young players are eager to contribute.\nNow, it's time for James and the Lakers to figure out how it all fits together through training camp and the first few weeks of the season.\nIt's difficult to say how Los Angeles compares to the rest of the league. The team may not be on the same level as the Warriors, but James alone makes any franchise a contender.\n\"It definitely helps when you have guys like LeBron,\" Hart said. \"He and JaVale are world champions. Lance brings a certain kind of grit to the game. You have [Beasley]...Rondo, who is a world champion. Veteran guys who have been through everything.\"\nHart also expressed reasonable concerns.\n\"It's good because we can learn from them, but I just hope it doesn't stunt [Ingram's] growth and [my] growth or Lonzo's growth in terms of being a leader,\" he continued. \"I think we can learn a lot from them...I think we're going to hold each other accountable to it. Make sure we talk as young guys. It's not just vets say this and that's what it is\u2014not challenging the vets but just having conversations, trying to learn, but also grow into your leadership role.\"\nThat's the trick for James and the Lakers: Can they play winning basketball without stifling the development of the emerging talent?\nJames will need to find a balance between pushing his young teammates to perform and allowing them to find their own voices on the court.\nFor the Lakers' long-term success, that's more important than any specific win total for the 2018-19 season.\nIt's a journey James and his teammates will begin in earnest Tuesday as training camp gets underway.",

A seed had been sown, even if the palate was not yet able to fully appreciate the nuances. After a couple of years spent with Majestic and completing the WSET Diploma, Adam moved to the little-known but highly-regarded importer Richards Walford, where he began a love affair with the Loire and Burgundy. Two years later, in 2012, the company was subsumed into Berry Bros. & Rudd and Adam joined our wholesale arm, Fields, Morris & Verdin. Today he is responsible for purchasing Burgundy (including Chablis and Beaujolais), Loire, Jura and Savoie wines across the business. In his spare time he can mostly be found on a bicycle.

There could be no better man for the job, as he has a true appreciation of aged and fortified wines: \u201cIt is their texture, longevity, sheer intensity, and yet \u2013 in old age \u2013 their capacity to be so beguiling and sensual which is the real appeal,\u201d he says. Tom also has an acute sense of when a wine \u2013 be it great or humble \u2013 might be approaching its perfect drinking window.

After completing an MA in Literature and History of Art, Katherine found herself in Oddbins where, over the next couple of years, she embarked on the steepest and most exciting learning curve. Having obtained her Master of Wine in 2006, she joined Richards Walford which merged with our wholesale arm, Fields, Morris & Verdin, in 2013. Today she works in our Buying team, responsible for purchasing wines from South Africa, England, Australia, Central and Eastern Europe, Austria, Germany and Alsace; but has \u2013 in her own words \u2013 \u201ca real soft spot\u201d for Austria, enjoying not just Riesling but the lesser-known Neuburger, Zweigelt and Blaufr\u00e4nkisch.

Read posts by Catriona Felstead MW\nFiona Hayes, Wine Buyer\nFiona first developed an interest in wine having spent her year abroad in Burgundy while at university. After graduating, she started working for a wine importer, Berkmann Wine Cellars, and quickly realised that a job in the wine industry was definitely worth pursuing. After just one year, she moved to the Buying team at our wholesale arm Fields, Morris & Verdin. Today she buys the wines from North America, the Rh\u00f4ne and Southern France for the whole business. Outside the office, she mostly juggles her Master of Wine studies, looking after a toddler and \u2013 when any spare time arises \u2013 eating and drinking.

Read posts by Sophie McLean\nEmily Miles, Content Editor\nEmily joined Berry Bros. & Rudd in 2013, in something of a career sidestep. Having previously worked as a copy editor and writer for magazines such as Esquire and Men\u2019s Health, as well as a freelance drinks writer, she elected to swap the bright lights of Soho for more stately streets of St James\u2019s in a bid to immerse herself more fully in all things wine and spirits. In her role, Emily heads up our Content team which produces a multitude of literature and communications for the company. Read posts by Emily Miles\nPhilip Moulin, Fine Wine Quality and Authentication Manager\nAfter his formative years at Majestic Wines, Philip joined Berry Bros. & Rudd in 1997 as Assistant Manager in the Warehouse Shop. He joined the old \u201cbroking department\u201d in 2000 and for five years was responsible for sourcing and broking rare wines for Asia. Today, however, he works within our Buying team, valuing and authenticating the finest and rarest of wines; and, every now and again, he finds himself in the dark and damp, rummaging through capacious cellars in search of the exceptional and the extraordinary. While Philip will drink wine from all over the world, it is to the M\u00e9doc that he inevitably returns. From his first \u201cproper\u201d Bordeaux purchase in 1994 (1990 Carruades de Lafite, purchased at \u00a34.99/bottle in Safeways), to today, it remains the region that pleases him most.

After working in fine wine for 15 years, he joined Berry Bros. & Rudd in July 2014. While a fan of the classic regions of France, Peter has a growing interest in Barolo too \u2013 not to mention a penchant for good Sherry. He also has a passion for artisan chocolate which he tries, often unsuccessfully he claims, to match with a broad range of wines.

Though his childhood ambition was to be an airline pilot, it wasn\u2019t long before Stewart\u2019s culinary vocation became clear: at school while his peers were trying to bake fairy cakes, he could be found putting the finishing touches to a sole bonne femme. These days, Stewart feeds his love of food by taking in as many restaurant visits as possible. In his recipes for the blog, Stewart aims to show just how good simple ingredients can be \u2013 especially when served with the right bottle of wine. Read posts by Stewart Turner\nDemetri Walters MW, Wine Educator and Presenter\nDemetri works as a Wine Educator and Presenter in our Events and Education team, which he first joined in 2001. His route into the trade was an unconventional one, coming to us via a brief stint in the army, a spell in Australia working as a jackaroo, a degree in property surveying and also a number of years in new media, including a spot of head-hunting. Since turning, professionally, to the bottle, he hasn\u2019t looked back, completing his Master of Wine in 2013. Read posts by Demetri Walters MW\nRob Whitehead, Spirits Buyer\nRob started with Berry Bros. & Rudd in March 2006, initially working at our Heathrow shop. After moving to our London shop, his passion for spirits (which first blossomed during his university days in Oxford) came to the fore. Rob\u2019s Yorkshire roots reveal a keen eye for value, and he enjoys exploring some of the more obscure spirits and wines of the world. That being said, he keeps returning to red Burgundies, the whites of Alsace and Germany, Jamaican and Demerara rums and, of course, Scotch whiskies. Read posts by Rob Whitehead",

        "raw_content": "By Mary Lull on November 20, 2012 in Business Solutions & Marketing Ideas, How to Use Promotional Products\nSustainable energy has long been an important topic, but it seems that homeowners are looking to lessen their carbon footprints now more than ever. The New York Times recently reported that Greentech Media, an eco-friendly research firm, found that the number of houses and businesses using solar energy has doubled in the last two years.\nUnfortunately, not all of your customers can access renewable energy. Some live in apartments and condos and can\u2019t make building-wide changes. There are everyday items, however, that can harness the power of the sun and serve as promotional giveaways.\nInstead of giving customers battery-powered flashlights, small businesses can hand out solar-powered versions. Patrons may actually appreciate these gifts more because there\u2019s no need to buy new batteries every few weeks.\nWhile these promotional items won\u2019t have an environmental impact comparable to installing solar panels, they can make a small difference and encourage consumers to reduce their carbon emissions.\nSmall businesses should always be aware of growing trends like solar energy. While some may turn out to be fads, others can have lasting appeals. Renewable power has been a popular topic over the last few years, so owners may want to consider joining the movement with their marketing campaigns.\nRestaurants must prepare for the holidays",

        "raw_content": "Muddy Waters is considered to be the king of Chicago Blues. His great voice and slide guitar, his larger than life persona, and his ability to make a hit spearheaded him to the top blues artist of Chicago in the early 1950s. He always had the best of bands and structured his sound where the brilliance of his players would shine. Harmonica players, in particular, were always showcased in Muddy\u2019s band. Some of Muddy\u2019s harmonica players included Little Walter (who recorded on the majority of his Chess hits), Big Walter Horton, Junior Wells, James Cotton, Mojo Buford, Paul Oscher, Carey Bell, and Jerry Portnoy. His classic songs cut for Chess Records are quite frankly as good as it gets. Bob first heard Muddy on the Radio singing \u201cRolling Stone\u201d at age 12 and from that point forward Bob\u2019s life was changed.\nHere is a page of photos to pay tribute to this great master.\nMuddy Waters 1950s Publicity Shot\nCover Photo for Muddy\u2019s Hard Again Album",

        "raw_content": "To the Library, and Beyond!\nAs a student about to start her master\u2019s in library and information science, it probably won\u2019t come as a surprise that I, you know, like libraries. Throughout high school and some of college I probably single-handedly kept my public library in business with my excessive fines. I know some people will go to the library, pick out a book or maybe two, then return it and find another. My library style has always been a bit more gluttonous: grab everything that looks interesting off the shelves. A week or two of fines adds up when you have fifteen to twenty overdue items. With the help of phone alarms and e-mail reminders, my on-time return rate has greatly improved in recent years.\nThe past few weeks have taken my appreciation of libraries on a very practical level. On one of my mom and sister\u2019s last nights in Seattle, we watched Matilda together. While watching the disdain of Mr. Wormwood, Matilda\u2019s father, for reading, libraries, and anything remotely intellectual, I was struck by an important but fleeting thought: I\u2019m lucky to have been born into a family that loves the library as much as I do. One of my earliest memories is my mom doing up my hair for the Beach Day-themed story hour, and the highlight of middle school was the annual system-wide interlibrary \u201cBattle of the Books\u201d competition. So I suppose I\u2019ve taken libraries and easy library-access for granted, just based on their continual presence in my own life.\nAs I mentioned last post, my apartment for August has no WiFi. I do have a smartphone, for which I\u2019m grateful, but I have a limited data plan and too much impatience to use it for sending e-mails or messages longer than a sentence or two. It\u2019s like trying to live on Ramen after years of dining hall meals \u2013 endurable, but hardly satiating. And my first month in Seattle has definitely given me experience in being creative with limited resources, both virtual and victual.\nCoffee shops have been my first destination for Internet access. I have a found a few rare gems \u2013 coffeehouses with plentiful seating, power outlets, and low prices. But even the cheapest coffee shop still costs a few dollars, and I feel guilty for staying past the end of my tea. While I\u2019m writing this, I\u2019m actually at the coffee shop with the best drinks I\u2019ve had in Seattle yet, but the worst WiFi. I\u2019m lucky if I can get it to work for five minutes. At the moment, it\u2019s not working at all.\nAt any rate, enter the library. The magical solution to all the world\u2019s problems. Honestly, my dad had to suggest it to me when I explained my dilemma. At first I brushed off the suggestion, thinking that since I\u2019m not yet able to get a library card (as I lack proof of address/Washington State ID), so I can only use their computers for thirty minutes at a time. Then it occurred to me that I could bring my laptop and use their WiFi for free. For as long as I wanted. So I\u2019ve started spending lots of time at the library, either on my computer or reading books. Unfortunately, as I have no card, I can\u2019t check things out. But I can use their Internet to look for jobs, housing, catch up on my Netflix. And just sit there and read books for free, so I don\u2019t fall too terribly far behind on my 2013 GoodReads goal. The possibilities are endless.\nIF YOU LOVE BOOKS AND LIBRARIES AND HAVEN\u2019T EVER SEEN THE PAGEMASTER, YOU\u2019VE BEEN MISSING OUT.\nSo this blog post has mainly been a combo testimonial and public service announcement. Don\u2019t take your local libraries for granted. They\u2019re a brilliant resource that do more than provide written entertainment for the masses. Next time your computer or WiFi or television breaks, if you want something new to read but it\u2019s not in the budget \u2013 head to your library. Add them on Facebook, or check out their summer programming. And for those of you that already have, if you\u2019re anything like me, I suggest you check your due dates!\nTagged as Blogging, Book Blogs, Books, libraries, Reading",

        "title": "The Travis Waltons Interview - BRISTOL IN STEREO",
        "raw_content": "The Travis Waltons Interview\n\u201cIt\u2019s the cool TV show, The Waltons and the name of a renowned UFO abductee combined. It sounded kind of country, which was what the music was like back then.\u201d A Dan Flay solo project, when he moved from Cambridge to Bristol, has expanded over time to the current three-piece alt-rock, \u201cloud indie\u201d incarnation of The Travis Waltons. Flay met Danny Watts at an all-dayer at The Fleece in 2012. Watts gave Flay a business card. The die was cast.\nIncidental recruitment perpetuated in 2016, when the duo acquired Amy Bevan on bass. \u201cWe were at the Stag and Hounds for a gig and we saw her play. We really had to ask her to be in the band,\u201d Flay explains, with Watts adding, \u201cAmy has breathed new life into our band. We were bashing around as a two-piece, generally being too loud and lacking the percussive element that bass brings. Her singing is awesome, and again adds the harmonies we were missing (as I never learned to sing and play drums at the same time).\u201d\n\u201cDan\u2019s songwriting and voice are incredible. If we don\u2019t make it big now, he\u2019ll be discovered by future generations after he\u2019s dead \u2013 which hopefully will be a long way off,\u201d adds Bevan. Three people in a band reaches Flay\u2019s point of maximum logistical faff, although he concedes, \u201cSmashing Pumpkins were my favourite band, so now we\u2019ve got a brilliant drummer and a female bassist, we\u2019re gonna need a keyboard player soon.\u201d\n2014\u2019s debut, Your Neck Is Bleeding, was a self-conscious reference to the TV show, 24, rather than a connection to the sleeve artwork of some bloke in the front of an 80s saloon car, amorously attached to a woman\u2019s throat. The televisual connection furthered with one of their biggest moments to date, the video to \u2018Homewrecker\u2019, beginning with Breaking Bad\u2019s, Aaron Paul, as Jessie Pinkman, declaring the band and the single to be \u201ca bitch\u201d.\n\u201cThere was a competition up to the end of Breaking Bad where you could win things if you donated money to charity. The more you donated, the cooler the prize,\u201d Flay explains. \u201cIt cost a lot, but it made a bunch of people take us seriously. We probably could have spent that on a whole PR campaign!\u201d\nThe second album, Separation Season is even more autobiographical. \u201cI broke up with someone,\u201d Flay continues. \u201cIt\u2019s about doing all the things that you did with someone else, but on your own, whilst seeing them out with other people. The idea of the \u2018separation season\u2019 comes from films like Shanghai Noon, where Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson fall out \u2013 the time when they stop being friends.\u201d\nTheir third album has been part-recorded at Invada Studios in Bedminster, and is \u201cso close to being done; if we had money for studio time, we could have it finished in two days,\u201d according to Flay. \u201cWe put out \u2018Bright Eyes\u2019 from it, because it was upbeat. It was an exercise in trying to write a love song for someone \u2013 not being able to tell that person how much you care, then doing it through a song instead. It turns a bit dark at the end!\u201d\nThe band played three new songs at their July Hy-Brasil show, with more to come at the Louisiana on 4th August. They esteem Bristol\u2019s venues for variety, quality of their sound and willingness to give bands a go, while lamenting the demise of the Stag and Hounds. They cite Bristol band Measures as their current earworms.\nOur chat turns to aliens, naturally, and what they would make of our planet if the band was abducted. Bevan says, \u201cI\u2019m sure they\u2019d wonder what the point of life on Earth was, much like we do,\u201d while Flay adds, \u201cI\u2019d like to think that if we played to them, they\u2019d reckon the Earth had pretty awesome music.\u201d\nThe Travis Waltons play The Louisiana on 4th August. The band are currently working on their third album, set to be released later this year. Check out \u2018Bright Eyes\u2019 below.",

        "raw_content": "Burlington Township Lewdness Attorneys\nUnder N.J.S.A. 2C:14-4, the State of New Jersey punishes persons who commit \u201cLewd Acts\u201d. Specifically, the statute reads that a person \u201ccommits a disorderly persons offense if he does any flagrantly lewd and offensive act which he knows or reasonably expects is likely to be observed by other non-consenting person who would be affronted or alarmed.\u201d As defined by the statute, a lewd act includes any act of \u201cexposing of the genitals for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire of the actor or of any other person.\u201d This act is more common than you might think and can include a multitude of activities beyond merely \u201cexposing\u201d one\u2019s self in public. For instance, having sex in a public place can turn into a lewdness charge if it is seen by another person. In a rare instance a client was charged with lewdness while changing out of their wetsuit while on the beach and in view of other beach patrons and children.\nIf you were arrested and charged with lewdness, criminal sexual contact, sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual contact, prostitution, endangering the welfare of a child or aggravated sexual assault, contact the Burlington County Attorneys at Proetta & Oliver.\nDisorderly Persons Offense Lewdness in Pemberton, NJ\nLewdness is most commonly charged as a disorderly persons offense. This means that you will generally be released after you receive a summons complaint. You will have to appear before the Municipal Court judge at a future date. A disorderly persons offense for lewdness carries up to six (6) months in jail along with a nominal fine. Rarely will a judge sentence a first time offender to jail for a disorderly persons offense. However, for young adults and gainfully employed adults, a criminal conviction alone may be enough to throw your world into disarray.\nLewdness charges can also be elevated to a fourth degree indictable offense if certain circumstances are present. Specifically, a person commits a fourth degree offense, if he exposes his intimate parts for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire of the actor or of any other person under circumstances where the actor knows or reasonably expects he is likely to be observed by a child who is less than thirteen (13) years of age where the actor is at least four years older than the child. A person also commits a fourth degree offense if he exposes his intimate parts for the purpose of arousing or gratifying the sexual desire of the actor or of any other person under circumstances where the actor knows or reasonably expects he is likely to be observed by a person who because of mental disease or defect is unable to understand the sexual nature of the actor\u2019s conduct. By intimate parts, the statute really means the reproductive organs of either a male or female, although, most typically speaking, the offense usually arises from the exposure of male genitalia.\nI Was Charged With Lewdness But I Didn\u2019t Know Anyone Was Around?\nOften times, clients will raise the defense that they \u201cdidn\u2019t think anyone was around.\u201d Good news, in certain instances, this may be an actual defense. While lewdness can technically occur on both private or public property, the State must prove that it was your intent that your act be seen or that you were aware that it was probable that your act would be seen by casual observers if they had looked. Your act must be done knowingly. This means that if these charges are based on an accident, and we can demonstrate this to a judge/jury, we may be able to mount a successful defense to your lewdness charges.\nWhat are the Penalties for Lewdness in Florence, NJ?\nIf you are charged and convicted of a fourth degree offense for lewdness, you will be facing a period of incarceration in the Burlington County Jail for up to eighteen (18) months and a fine of up to $10,000.00. Alternatively, a conviction for a disorderly persons lewdness offense exposes you to up to six (6) months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.00.\nLewdness Lawyers Moorestown, NJ\nDepending on your criminal history and the facts of your case, a diversionary program such as Pretrial Intervention (PTI) or Conditional Dismissal Program may be the best option. These programs require extended periods of probation but could ultimately result in a dismissal of your charges. Consult with an attorney to see if a Diversionary Program is right for you. While these are obviously the worst case scenarios, obtaining the best case scenario from a lewdness charge requires the best representation. Proetta & Oliver have the experience of a former Deputy Attorney General on staff to consult with you on your charges and plan out how best to protect your interests. We handle cases throughout Burlington County, including Pemberton, Evesham, Moorestown, Cinnaminson, Bordentown, Burlington Township, Delran, Florence, Delanco, Bass River, Southampton and Westampton.",

        "raw_content": "China vows to protect its interests from 'reckless' U.S. trade threats\nMichael Martina, Ben Blanchard\nBEIJING (Reuters) - China lashed out on Wednesday at renewed threats from the White House on trade, warning that it was ready to fight back if Washington was looking for a trade war, days ahead of a planned visit by U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.\nIn an unexpected change in tone, the United States said on Tuesday that it still held the threat of imposing tariffs on $50 billion of imports from China unless it addressed the issue of theft of American intellectual property.\nWashington also said it will press ahead with restrictions on investment by Chinese companies in the United States as well as export controls for goods exported to China.\nIts tougher stance comes as President Donald Trump prepares for a June 12 summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whose key diplomatic backer is China, and as Washington steps up efforts to counter what it sees as Beijing\u2019s efforts to limit freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.\nThe trade escalation came after the two sides had agreed during talks in Washington this month to find steps to narrow China\u2019s $375 billion trade surplus. Ross is expected to try to get China to agree to firm numbers to buy more U.S. goods during a June 2-4 visit to the Chinese capital.\n\u201cWe urge the United States to keep its promise, and meet China halfway in the spirit of the joint statement,\u201d Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a daily news briefing, adding that China would take \u201cresolute and forceful\u201d measures to protect its interests if Washington insists upon acting in an \u201carbitrary and reckless manner\u201d.\n\u201cWhen it comes to international relations, every time a country does an about face and contradicts itself, it\u2019s another blow to, and a squandering of, its reputation,\u201d Hua said.\nChina has said it will respond in kind to threats by Trump to impose tariffs on up to $150 billion of Chinese goods.\nIt was not clear if the developments would have any impact on the planned visit to China by Ross. China\u2019s Foreign Ministry referred questions to the Commerce Ministry, which did not reply to a fax seeking comment.\nU.S. OFFICIALS ARRIVE\nSeveral U.S. officials arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for talks.\nThey included Under Secretary of Agriculture Ted McKinney, the U.S. Trade Representative\u2019s chief agricultural negotiator, Gregg Doud and Commerce Department Deputy Assistant Secretary Alan Turley, according to a U.S. embassy spokeswoman.\n\u201cOver the next few days, the U.S. delegation of more than 50 people will discuss with China\u2019s team on implementing a consensus,\u201d China\u2019s Commerce Ministry said in a statement.\nEarlier, China\u2019s state council, or cabinet, said it will cut import tariffs on a range of consumer items including apparel, cosmetics and home appliances from July 1, and would finalize a so-called negative list for foreign investment by the same date, following through on earlier pledges.\nTrade war fears had receded after the Trump administration said it had reached a deal to put ZTE Corp back in business after banning China\u2019s second-biggest telecoms equipment maker from buying U.S. technology parts for seven years.\nThe easing in tension had fueled optimism that agreement was imminent for Chinese antitrust clearance for San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc\u2019s $44 billion purchase of Netherlands-based NXP Semiconductors NV, which has been hanging in the balance amid the trade dispute.\nA team of Qualcomm lawyers that is expecting to meet with Chinese regulators ahead of Ross\u2019s arrival remained in San Diego as of late Tuesday, a source familiar with the matter said.\n\u201cOn hold now,\u201d another person familiar with Qualcomm\u2019s talks with the Chinese government said on Wednesday, declining to be identified as the negotiations are confidential.\n\u201cTrump is crazy. Crazy tactics might work, though,\u201d the person added.\nTARIFFS AND TACTICS\nWilliam Zarit, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, said the U.S. threat of tariffs appeared to have been \u201csomewhat effective\u201d.\n\u201cI don\u2019t think it is only a tactic, personally,\u201d he told reporters on Wednesday, adding that the group does not view tariffs as the best way to address the trade frictions.\n\u201cThe thinking became that if the U.S. doesn\u2019t have any leverage and there is no pressure on our Chinese friends, then we will not have serious negotiations.\u201d\nThe Global Times, an influential tabloid run by the ruling Communist Party\u2019s official People\u2019s Daily, said the United States was suffering from a \u201cdelusion\u201d and warned that the \u201ctrade renege could leave Washington dancing with itself\u201d.\nAlso on Tuesday, a White House official said the U.S. government plans to shorten the length of visas issued to some Chinese citizens as part of a strategy to prevent intellectual property theft by U.S. rivals.\nCiting a document issued by the Trump administration in December, the official said the U.S. government would consider restrictions on visas for science and technology students from some countries.\nAdditional reporting by Brenda Goh in SHANGHAI and Matthew Miller, Ben Blanchard, Dominique Patton and Yawen Chen in BEIJING; Writing by Ryan Woo and Tony Munroe; Editing by Kim Coghill and John Stonestreet",

        "raw_content": "Young girls learn ABC of Cairo street life\nCAIRO (Reuters) - Nora, a mother at just 14, jingled keys above her infant daughter\u2019s head, drawing smiles from the baby she conceived while living on the streets of Cairo.\nInstisar (L) and Elhaim (C) do an arts project with their teacher at the shelter that they live at in Cairo November 14, 2007. The shelter takes in unmarried girls from the street that are not already pregnant. The girls that are taken in are often children of Egypt's rural poor or from families living in shantytowns on the outskirts of Cairo. REUTERS/Tara Todras-Whitehill\nShe was one of hundreds of thousands of children who the United Nations says may be living on Egypt\u2019s streets, including a growing number of girls arriving as young as four or five years old fleeing poverty, abuse or broken homes.\nWhile baby Shaimaa played with slippers at Nora\u2019s feet, the young mother described how she traded beatings by her brothers at the age of six or seven for a life of early forced sexuality on streets where she became pregnant soon after puberty.\n\u201cThe guys don\u2019t differentiate. They don\u2019t care if you are big or small. I got snatched,\u201d Nora said, using a word that in the parlance of Egypt\u2019s street girls means being taken by men and raped.\nCoupled with the lure of a city of fancy cars and luxury shops, economic hardship that has left one-fifth of Egyptians in absolute poverty has driven many like her out of their homes, as traditional family structures are strained.\nIn Egypt\u2019s socially conservative Muslim community, a life on the street can do lasting damage to young girls.\n\u201cSexual abuse is ABC in the phenomenon. Not only for street girls but for the boys also,\u201d said Seham Ibrahim, whose Tofoulty organization runs a shelter for street girls.\nNora lives in one such shelter with Shaimaa, her baby\u2019s ears pierced with tiny gold studs. But not all girls manage to find a safe way out.\nTwo leaders of a children\u2019s gang were sentenced to death in May for raping and killing at least three and possibly up to 26 street children in Cairo and northern Egypt.\nIn a separate case last month, Egyptian police arrested a man accused of imprisoning six youths, sexually assaulting them and forcing them to beg in the streets.\nSELLING TISSUES\nCairo\u2019s street girls \u2014 often children of Egypt\u2019s rural poor or from urban shanty towns \u2014 may sleep on the pavement or in public gardens, face a constant threat of rape, and sniff glue to dull the pain and numb the cold.\nSome beg or sell packets of tissues, weaving between cars at intersections. Ilham, a quiet 11-year old, said she had spent a week sleeping outside a police station, getting food handouts from officers after her parents split up and an aunt burned her with hot metal.\nA few turn to prostitution.\n\u201cThe sexuality of their existence on the streets starts very early on, when they are raped. So naturally when she is with someone they do have a sexual relationship,\u201d said Alia Mossallam, who works in child protection at UNICEF.\nNora said at one point as a young girl, she had an unofficial \u201cmarriage\u201d to a street guy: \u201cHe had a room, and I didn\u2019t want to be on the street.\u201d\nPeople who work with Cairo street children say they began to see girls living on the streets in the mid-1990s who would cut their hair to pass as boys and stay safe.\nTheir number has since swollen and Mossallam said an estimated 20 to 30 percent of street children are now girls. They are largely scorned in Egypt, where girls are expected to be virgins at marriage and rape victims may be seen as tainted.\nFor Magda, a chatty 11-year-old with a chipped front tooth and a ponytail who wants to learn karate, it was her parents\u2019 separation \u2014 followed by beatings by her grandmother \u2014 that led her to the streets more than three years ago.\n\u201cIt was easy. I slept on the pavement at night, normally,\u201d she said as she sipped a juice box. \u201cThere were things we were afraid of. We were afraid of boys coming at night.\u201d\nShe managed to leave the streets fairly quickly, finding her way to a shelter where she attends school and plans for the future. She hopes to go to university.\nAnother girl, Amani, facing beatings over her school performance, ran away from home with a friend in the port of Alexandria, but her friend left when she ran out of money.\n\u201cA guy came and attacked me and left me not a girl,\u201d the 15-year old said. She later discovered she was pregnant and, although she lost the baby, she still fears going home.\nA 2006 government survey showed roughly half of street girls had had sex and about 45 percent of those had been raped. People involved with the girls say the real numbers may be much higher.\nOften, they say, rape is one of the very first experiences a girl has once she arrives on the street. Once that happens, as it did to Yasmine, it becomes very difficult to go home.\n\u201cI was snatched. They kept me for four days,\u201d said Yasmine, now 20. \u201cThere were eight of them. They put dogs around us so we couldn\u2019t escape. When they had new girls coming they let us go,\u201d she said, her fingers twirling the ends of her pink headscarf.\nShe said she tried to return to a children\u2019s home after the rape, but although she had stayed there previously they would not admit her. Years later, she is pregnant with a baby boy she says was fathered by a man in jail for theft.\nTofoulty\u2019s Ibrahim said experienced girls often take birth control pills, which are easily accessible at Egyptian pharmacies \u2014 and many do not carry their babies to term.\nThey miscarry either intentionally or because of the toll of street life, Mossallam said: \u201cThey do glue and ... some normal types of medicine that could result in hallucinations in large dosages. They have names for them. One is called Sarasir (cockroaches) because when they have it they imagine they have cockroaches all over them.\u201d\nPregnant girls can get help giving birth if they go to a shelter. Otherwise, conditions are grim.\n\u201cThey get pregnant and deliver in the street. It\u2019s very unclean and very uncivilized,\u201d said Tarek Ali, an administrator at Hope Village Society, which runs a street mothers\u2019 shelter.\nMany of the young mothers cannot secure birth certificates for their children because the babies\u2019 fathers are unknown or deny paternity. With babies in arms, they find it nearly impossible to re-integrate in society.\n\u201cPeople always look at us with a look of hatred. I want to tell people to change their ideas about us,\u201d said Yasmine, patting her pregnant belly in the shelter where she is staying.",

        "raw_content": "Kenyan officials 'embezzled money meant for Rio team': government report\nNAIROBI (Reuters) - Large sums of money meant to cover the expenses of Kenya\u2019s team at the Rio Olympics were misappropriated by officials, according to an investigation ordered by the country\u2019s sports ministry.\nThe report, seen by Reuters, said the money had been earmarked to buy air tickets for team members, but was instead taken by unidentified ministry officials.\nThe report was compiled by an investigation team led by Paul Ochieng, the dean of students at Nairobi-based Strathmore University.\nThe report says the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK) also diverted money and kit from U.S. sports equipment manufacturer Nike worth millions of shillings.\n\u201cSome (sports) ministry officials misappropriated 88,611,480 shillings ($871,190) meant for air tickets. NOCK has been misappropriating Nike contract funds and kit amounting to 126 million shillings per year meant for athletes since 2013,\u201d the report said.\n\u201cThe eight-year (2013-2020) contract between Nike and NOCK on behalf of all national teams is heavily skewed toward Nike and needs review or cancellation.\u201d\nOfficials at the Ministry of Sports did not respond to telephone calls or text messages when contacted by Reuters. Nike did not return calls seeking comment.\nAthletes told the investigation committee that bonuses from Nike for medals won at Olympic and Commonwealth Games did not reach them.\nAthletes said Nike gives NOCK $15,000 for each gold medallist, $7,500 for each silver medallist and $5,000 for each bronze medallist, but medallists told the investigation committee they had never been given bonuses from NOCK.\nReuters was unable to confirm the specifics of Nike\u2019s agreement with NOCK.\nNOCK Chairman Kipchoge Keino said athletes dealt directly with Nike on such matters and that the ministry handled all ticketing and other financial matters.\n\u201cIt\u2019s all lies. Athletes sign for endorsement and bonuses with Nike. All we get are kit and training funding. We don\u2019t handle athletes\u2019 money,\u201d he said from Doha, Qatar, where he is attending a meeting of the Association of National Olympic Committees.\n\u201cIt is not our duty and we did not receive any money, nothing absolutely. We have never handled such things, and it\u2019s not in our agreement.\u201d\nThe probe was commissioned by Hassan Wario, minister for sports, culture and the arts, who has in turn presented it to President Uhuru Kenyatta, according to a source familiar with the matter. It has not been officially made public.\nThe report recommends that action be taken against those found culpable in the misappropriation of money and that NOCK account for the money received annually from Nike on behalf of the athletes.\nEditing by George Obulutsa, Mitch Phillips and Dale Hudson",

I knew it was going to be a big test for me today and I\u2019m really happy I was able to get through.\u201d\nIvanovic did well to contain her opponent\u2019s powerful serve, most notably in the first set when she broke three times in four games to pull ahead 5-3 before delivering an incredible backhand winner to hold to love.\nA topsy-turvy second set saw Williams grab the first three games and Ivanovic the next four before the world number one roared back to win the next three.\nThe Serb then grabbed the opening two games of the final set but Williams shifted into a higher gear to win six in a row and advance.\nThe American landed only 31 percent of her first serves in the opening set and 47 percent in the second but was much more efficient in the third, chalking up 68 percent.\n\u201cI just decided that if I wanted to stay out here and keep playing I had to pick my game up a level,\u201d said Williams who now has a 9-1 career record against Ivanovic.\n\u201cI had to do a \u2018Serena\u2019. I kind of like that actually.\u201d\nUp next for Williams will be 14th-seeded Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, a 6-4 2-6 6-0 winner over Czech Lucie Safarova, seeded seven.\nIn Friday\u2019s other quarter-finals, third-seeded Romanian Simona Halep plays Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova while unseeded Serbian Jelena Jankovic faces Slovakian qualifier Anna Karolina Schmiedlova.\nReporting by Frank Pingue; Editing by Tony Jimenez",

El Camino is al known as Highway 82.\nPedestrian Hit by Car in San Bruno, Oct 8\nParamedics responded to the scene and found the victim lying in the roadway with major injuries. The man was then immediately taken to the hospital where he was listed in critical condition.\nHis name was not released. Meanwhile, police affirmed that the driver involved did not stop to render aid and fled the area.\nThe suspect car was believed to be a newer model crossover SUV, similar to a Ford Edge, and either maroon or dark red in color. The investigation is ongoing.\nAnyone with any information is urged to contact the San Bruno Police Department at (650) 616-7100.\n*We extend our prayers and sincerest thoughts to the victim and his family and friends during such a difficult time.\nIt is evident that the driver of the SUV will be held responsible for causing the traffic incident that led to the major injuries of the pedestrian involved. Leaving the scene following a crash is a serious crime and punishable by law especially if the collision seriously hurt another individual.\nIn this case, the family of the critically injured man will be entitled to a personal injury claim seeking a compensation for all the hospital bills, future medical needs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.\nIf your loved one has been hurt in a hit-and-run collision, contact Johnson Attorneys Group at 855-703-4186 to help you with your case.\nSan Bruno pedestrian hit-and-run accident El Camino Real",

        "raw_content": "The American Shorthair is one of the most popular cat breeds. This breed of domestic cat is believed to have originated from European cats when settlers sailed from Europe to North America. They carried cats on board to protect the food storage from mice. Once these cats landed in the New World they interbred and developed certain characteristics to help them adjust to their new life. In the early 20th century, a selective breeding program was established to develop the best qualities for this breed.\nThe American Shorthair has a large, powerful build with round faces and short ears. Males are quite a bit larger than females and weigh 11 to 15 pounds when fully grown. Mature females weigh 6 to 12 pounds when fully grown around age six. The most well known color of this breed is the silver tabby. There is around eighty different colors and patterns ranging from the brown patched tabby, blue-eyed whites, silvers, smokes, calicos and many colors in between. Other less known colors are deep tones of black, brown or combinations of the mentioned patterns.\nThe American Shorthair breed is not only beautiful, but easy going, as well as affectionate. Unlike many breeds, it does not cry for attention and is easily trained. They are known for their quiet voices, adaptable personalities and devotion to its human. They are sociable and adapt well to other animals and children. They can be playful into old age and enjoy bird watching from the windowsill, as well as maintaining their hunting skills with the occasional catch.\nThe American Shorthair is known as a healthy, hardy breed with few genetic defects. With plenty of attention, love and quality nutrition, the American Shorthair can live 15 years or longer.",

Losing Game 5 in overtime to the Kings in the West Final really stings. But the future is really bright for this franchise, it starts with Coach Dave Tippett. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen any coach maximize effort and talent and get the results he does. When he came aboard he saved the franchise. Plus, The young and veteran players this team has gives the franchise a lot to look forward to.\nIt starts with Goaltender Mike Smith. He\u2019s only 30 years old and has a lot of great hockey ahead of him. He was easily the team\u2019s MVP and willed them to the teams\u2019 first Pacific Division Title. On the Blue Line, Defensemen Keith Yandle is a two-time All-Star and Oliver Ekmon- Larsson has the potential to be one of the game\u2019s best.\nOffensively, at only 25, Center Martin Hanzal might be the unsung hero of the team. He does all the dirty work, like defending the opposing team\u2019s best offensive player. He\u2019s a big body that gets in front of Goalies that you have to have. Forward Mikkel Boedker is only 22 and is getting better with each game. He was great down the stretch and could blossom into a 30 goal scorer.\nThe team has a great mix of veterans like Forwards Antoine Vermette and Radim Vrbata and Defensemen Rostislav Klesla that are in their prime and playing top flight hockey. The heartbeat of the team is Captain Shane Doan, no one cares more about this team than he does. I was in the locker room after the Elimination loss to the Kings and I felt so bad for Doaner. His rant against the poor officiating in Game 5 was justified. It was awful.\nHe\u2019s a great leader and person and the organization needs to re-sign him, that is priority number one. So keep the faith Coyotes fans, because the team is no longer a one year playoff wonder. They have a solid foundation for years to come.",

Fast forward to 2010, when Google announced its fleet of self-driving cars had quietly racked up over 140,000 miles on public roads. Robotic cars found in science fiction, as well as Leonardo\u2019s sketch books, will soon be science fact. To ensure innovation is fostered and fleet deployment is rapid, policy makers must prepare for this new reality.\nGoogle\u2019s announcement surprised even those who had been tracking vehicle automation developments. As of this writing, Google\u2019s self-driving cars have now logged a total of over half a million miles. Autonomous vehicles\u2014also known as driverless cars and self-driving cars\u2014promise to dramatically reduce human error, which is a crash factor in over 90 percent of auto accidents. This has the potential to save tens of thousands of lives annually, significantly reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, and offer greatly improved transportation access to traditionally mobility-impaired populations such as the disabled, elderly, and youth.\nSuch innovation would result in a massive shift in the role of automobiles in society and the institutions that have been built around automobility. The advent of highly automated vehicles may require modernization of our motor vehicle codes, auto safety regulations, infrastructure investment, products liability law, and local transportation service regulations to best adapt to this future.\nBut regulatory and legislative intervention also poses great risks to the development of the technology. In particular, laws and regulations that narrow the scope of permissible development, testing, and operational functionality risk locking in inferior technology, delaying adoption, and increasing prices faced by consumers. To reduce these risks, lawmakers and automakers should adopt a liberalized approach toward innovation and a cautious stance on legislation and regulation, particularly at this early stage.\nMarc Scribner - Self-Driving Regulation\nCEI Joins Coalition Letter Opposing Procedures Restricting Senior Social Security and Medicare Access\nMore Risk and Consumer Freedom",

Therefore Sri Lanka remains fully committed to implementing the provisions of the Convention in an effective manner.\nThe Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka was one of the first steps taken by a new administration in 2015 stating their commitment to democracy, good governance, independence of the judiciary, and the rule of law. This amendment, established independent commissions for namely: the Judicial services, Police, Public Service, Human Rights, Elections, Finance, Audit and of course the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery and Corruption (CIABOC) of which I am Director General.\nThis gave new life to existing institutions with an anti-corruption mandate and also formed new bodies charged with fighting corruption. Significantly, it recognized the importance of implementing the provisions of UNCAC.\nMay I say, that CIABOC,just last month, arrested two high ranking officialsat the highest levels of government on charges of bribery. This not only demonstrated the independence of our body,but also the policy of non-interference practiced by the government. These arrests marked a landmark in our work on anti-corruption, as this was the most high ranking official to have been arrested,while in office, in 60 years.\nEnsuring the independence of these Commissions from any kind of political influence is crucial in fighting corruption and restoring confidence in the system.\nWe are pleased that the Implementation Review Mechanism of UNCAC has demonstrated its value exceeding our expectations. Indeed, it sets a gold standard for other treaties covering crime prevention and criminal justice.\nThe Implementation of Chapter III (Criminalization) and Chapter IV (International Cooperation) of the UN Convention against Corruption was completed through the Implementation Review Mechanism in 2013. The second review cycle covering the implementation of Chapter II (Prevention) and Chapter V (Assets Recovery) of the convention was completed last year following the submission of the completed Self-Assessment Checklist by Sri Lanka. We are very happy to share with you that the Sri Lanka was among the first countries selected for the second review cycle, and our experience from actively participating in the two review cycles has been both rewarding and enlightening.\nWe note with appreciation that the UNODC has visited Sri Lanka on three occasions in connection with our work on anti-corruption, and is currently assisting in our capacity building efforts. To this end I am happy to announce that Sri Lanka will be hosting this July, a Global Expert Group meeting organized by the UNODC together with the UNDP and Transparency International. The decision to hold this meeting in Sri Lanka was in recognition of the active role played by us in the region in combating corruption.\nAmong our recent achievements we count as significant, the amendment,after a period of over 24 years, of several anti-corruption laws, namely, the substantive bribery law, the procedural CIABOC law and the Asset Declaration law. Towards this end, we have had several rounds of discussions with the World Bank and UNODC and we thank them for their assistance.\nMoreover, Sri Lanka\u2019s Cabinet has now given CIABOC the mandate to prepare a NationalAction Plan. In this regard we are currently conducting island wide national consultationsto create awareness and obtain the views of public officials including members of civil society to draft a prevention strategy and strengthen the enforcement machinery of the country.\nWe have identified through this productive engagement, \u2018action points\u2019 in the policy, legal, legislative and executive domains. We have now embarkedon a progressive transitioning of CIABOC from its current position to a fully-fledged, premier anti-corruption institution by increasing capacity and making crucial and innovative changes where needed.\nThere can be no sustainable development if corruption abounds. Which is why, today\u2019s debate,aptly focuses on the implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption as paving the way to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. Sri Lanka is committed to enhancing the principles of public trust doctrine, principle of inter-generational equity and preserve the national wealth for the future generations.\nWe are committed as I said before to promoting the objectives of the Convention. This includes pursuing effective follow up,establishingpartnershipsin order to share intelligence and best practices,and follow the money. It is vital also, to createanti-corruption networks including with financial institutions,for the purpose of the recovery of stolen assets from foreign jurisdictions. In order to achieve this, international cooperation is key. While we acknowledge with appreciation the cooperation that currently exists, there needs to be more engagement to achieve the objectives envisaged in the Convention.",

        "title": "Impact factor - Clarivate",
        "raw_content": "This essay was originally published in the Current Contents print editions June 20, 1994, when Clarivate Analytics was known as The Institute for Scientific Information\u00ae (ISI\u00ae).\nLibrarians and information scientists have been evaluating journals for at least 75 years. Gross and Gross conducted a classic study of citation patterns in the \u201920s.1 Others, including Estelle Brodman with her studies in the \u201940s of physiology journals and subsequent reviews of the process, followed this lead.2 However, the advent of the Clarivate Analytics citation indexes made it possible to do computer-compiled statistical reports not only on the output of journals but also in terms of citation frequency. And in the \u201960s we invented the journal \u201cimpact factor.\u201d After using journal statistical data in-house to compile the Science Citation Index (SCI) for many years, Clarivate Analytics began to publish Journal Citation Reports (JCR)3 in 1975 as part of the SCI and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI).\nInformed and careful use of these impact data is essential. Users may be tempted to jump to ill-formed conclusions based on impact factor statistics unless several caveats are considered.\nThe JCR provides quantitative tools for ranking, evaluating, categorizing, and comparing journals. The impact factor is one of these; it is a measure of the frequency with which the \u201caverage article\u201d in a journal has been cited in a particular year or period. The annual JCR impact factor is a ratio between citations and recent citable items published. Thus, the impact factor of a journal is calculated by dividing the number of current year citations to the source items published in that journal during the previous two years (see Figure 1).\nThe impact factor is useful in clarifying the significance of absolute (or total) citation frequencies. It eliminates some of the bias of such counts which favor large journals over small ones, or frequently issued journals over less frequently issued ones, and of older journals over newer ones. Particularly in the latter case such journals have a larger citable body of literature than smaller or younger journals. All things being equal, the larger the number of previously published articles, the more often a journal will be cited. 4, 5\nThere have been many innovative applications of journal impact factors. The most common involve market research for publishers and others. But, primarily, JCR provides librarians and researchers with a tool for the management of library journal collections. In market research, the impact factor provides quantitative evidence for editors and publishers for positioning their journals in relation to the competition\u2014especially others in the same subject category, in a vertical rather than a horizontal or intradisciplinary comparison. JCR data may also serve advertisers interested in evaluating the potential of a specific journal.\nPerhaps the most important and recent use of impact is in the process of academic evaluation. The impact factor can be used to provide a gross approximation of the prestige of journals in which individuals have been published. This is best done in conjunction with other considerations such as peer review, productivity, and subject specialty citation rates. As a tool for management of library journal collections, the impact factor supplies the library administrator with information about journals already in the collection and journals under consideration for acquisition. These data must also be combined with cost and circulation data to make rational decisions about purchases of journals.\nThe impact factor can be useful in all of these applications, provided the data are used sensibly. It is important to note that subjective methods can be used in evaluating journals as, for example, by interviews or questionnaires. In general, there is good agreement on the relative value of journals in the appropriate categories. However, the JCR makes possible the realization that many journals do not fit easily into established categories. Often, the only differentiation possible between two or three small journals of average impact is price or subjective judgments such as peer review.\nClarivate Analytics does not depend on the impact factor alone in assessing the usefulness of a journal, and neither should anyone else. The impact factor should not be used without careful attention to the many phenomena that influence citation rates, as for example the average number of references cited in the average article. The impact factor should be used with informed peer review. In the case of academic evaluation for tenure it is sometimes inappropriate to use the impact of the source journal to estimate the expected frequency of a recently published article. Again, the impact factor should be used with informed peer review. Citation frequencies for individual articles are quite varied.\nThere are many artifacts that can influence a journal\u2019s impact and its ranking in journal lists, not the least of which is the inclusion of review articles or letters. This is illustrated in a study of the leading medical journals published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.6\nReview articles generally are cited more frequently than typical research articles because they often serve as surrogates for earlier literature, especially in journals that discourage extensive bibliographies. In the JCR system any article containing more than 100 references is coded as a review. Articles in \u201creview\u201d sections of research or clinical journals are also coded as reviews, as are articles whose titles contain the word \u201creview\u201d or \u201coverview.\u201d\nThe Source Data Listing in the JCR not only provides data on the number of reviews in each journal but also provides the average number of references cited in that journal\u2019s articles. Naturally, review journals have some of the highest impact factors. Often, the first-ranked journal in the subject category listings will be a review journal. For example, under Biochemistry, the journal topping the list is Annual Review of Biochemistry with an impact factor of 35.5 in 1992.\nIt is widely believed that methods articles attract more citations than other types of articles. However, this is not in fact true. Many journals devoted entirely to methods do not achieve unusual impact. But it is true that among the most cited articles in the literature there are some super classics that give this overall impression. It should be noted that the chronological limitation on the impact calculation eliminates the bias super classics might introduce. Absolute citation frequencies are biased in this way, but, on occasion, a hot paper might affect the current impact of a journal.\nDifferent specialties exhibit different ranges of peak impact. That is why the JCR provides subject category listings. In this way, journals may be viewed in the context of their specific field. Still, a five-year impact may be more useful to some users and can be calculated by combining the statistical data available from consecutive years of the JCR (see Figure 2). It is rare to find that the ranking of a journal will change significantly within its designated category unless the journal\u2019s influence has indeed changed.\nAn alternative five-year impact can be calculated based on adding citations in 1988-92 articles published in the same five-year period. And yet another is possible by selecting one or two earlier years as factor \u201cB\u201d above.\nWhile Clarivate Analytics does manually code each published source item, it is not feasible to code individually the 12 million references we process each year. Therefore, journal citation counts in JCR do not distinguish between letters, reviews, or original research. So, if a journal publishes a large number of letters, there will usually be a temporary increase in references to those letters. Letters to the Lancet may indeed be cited more often that letters to JAMA or vice versa, but the overall citation count recorded would not take this artifact into account. Detailed computerized article-by-article analyses or audits can be conducted to identify such artifacts.\nSome of the journals listed in the JCR are not citing journals, but are cited-only journals. This is significant when comparing journals by impact factor because the self-citations from a cited-only journal are not included in its impact factor calculation. Self-citations often represent about 13% of the citations that a journal receives. The cited-only journals with impact factors in the JCR Journal Rankings and Subject Category Listing may be ceased or suspended journals, superseded titles, or journals that are covered in the science editions of Current Contents, but not a citation index.\nUsers can identify cited-only journals by checking the JCR Citing Journal Listing. Furthermore, users can establish analogous impact factors, (excluding self-citations), for the journals they are evaluating using the data given in the Citing Journal Listing (see Figure 3).\n(see Table 1 for numerical example)\nA user\u2019s knowledge of the content and history of the journal studied is very important for appropriate interpretation of impact factors. Situations such as those mentioned above and others such as title change are very important, and often misunderstood, considerations.\nA title change affects the impact factor for two years after the change is made. The old and new titles are not unified unless the titles are in the same position alphabetically. In the first year after the title change, the impact is not available for the new title unless the data for old and new can be unified. In the second year, the impact factor is split. The new title may rank lower than expected and the old title may rank higher than expected because only one year of source data is included in its calculation (see Figure 4). Title changes for the current year and the previous year are listed in the JCR guide.\nThe impact factor is a very useful tool for evaluation of journals, but it must be used discreetly. Considerations include the amount of review or other types of material published in a journal, variations between disciplines, and item-by-item impact. The journal\u2019s status in regard to coverage in the Clarivate Analytics databases as well as the occurrence of a title change are also very important. In the next essay we will look at some examples of how to put tools for journal evaluation into use.\nFounder and Chairman Emeritus, ISI\nSelf-Citation study of journals in the Reproductive Systems category of the 1992 SCI\u00ae Journal Citation Reports\u00ae (JCR\u00ae).\nTable 1: Calculation of impact factors without self-citations.\nTable 2: Comparison of JCR impact factors to revised impact factors.\n*In 1992, Human Reproduction was not covered in a citation index, but has been added to the Science Citation Index (SCI) for 1993.

        "raw_content": "Bent Branderup dedicates his life to the Academic Art of Riding. Over and over again, he studies the old masters, studies his horses and pupils and is questioning his work.\nThe Academic Art of riding became a life-long study for Bent Branderup. His aim in life is to revive the knowledge and the spirit of the old masters. He teaches and educates people and horses in the Academic Art of Riding since many years, at his stable in Denmark and throughout Europe.\nTherefore, more and more people become aware of the Academic Art of Riding. To be able to meet such a demand of interested people from all over the world, Bent Branderup developed a concept to become a Bent Branderup \u00ae Trainer.\nFor this concept, Bent Branderup has chosen some members of the Knighthood who found their calling in the Academic Art of Riding, and are characterized by their passion for their work with horses. They pay a special attention to their own continuous further and advanced training, always with an eye to future developments. These are the ones who are qualified to teach and call themselves a Bent Branderup \u00ae Trainer. Their common ambition is to spread the Academic Art of Riding all over the world, to examine their own work, and to develop themselves together with Bent Branderup and the Academic Art of Riding.",

As the economies of South Asia continue to grow and the region's strategic and commercial importance grows, demand for languages like Bangla continue to increase in international businesses, universities and research institutions, non-profit and development organizations, and the US government.\nBangla has a rich and diverse history, boasting a literary tradition that produced India's national poet and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Business majors looking to break into exciting developing economies, scientists who want to work with Bangladesh and India's leading researchers and educational institutions, anthropologists and ethnomusicologists studying the fascinating cultures of the region, and just about anyone from any field can add a unique dynamic to their career pursuits with this important and widely spoken Indic language.\nAudrey Ferguson (Dhaka, Bangladesh \u201911 and \u201912) is a staff nurse on the Intermediate Care Unit at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Fairfax, Virginia.

Then again, this is an uncommon story with no real template, so here we are.\nAfter keeping silent for the past few days outside of a statement, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te\u2019o is breaking his silence on the Lennay Kekua hoax story. Specifically, he\u2019s breaking it in an off-camera interview to ESPN reporter Jeremy Schaap. Details of the interview are expected to come some time later tonight.\nESPN PR has released this photo of the session.\nObviously, we\u2019ll have more as it develops, so stay tuned.\nIf for any reason you need to get caught up on what\u2019s going on, here\u2019s our original post on the Te\u2019o story (and the story itself) along with thoughts from Jack Swarbrick\u2019s press conference and the development today from \u201cOutside the Lines.\u201d\nYou can also see a timeline of events HERE and a cast of characters (so to speak) in the story HERE.",

        "raw_content": "The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2006/04/19/weill-55-steps-down-at-citigroup/)\nWeill '55 Steps Down at Citigroup\nSandy Weill \u201955 stepped down as chairman and a director at Citigroup yesterday. He made the announcement before hundreds at the annual shareholders meeting in New York, naming Charles Prince as his successor in the chairmanship. Prince had replaced him as chief executive in October 2003.\n\u201cSandy has made a huge difference,\u201d Prince said in a statement. \u201cHe has given his heart and soul to make Citigroup the great organization it is today, over years that saw our company grow like no other in the history of our industry and become the most successful financial services organization ever put together.\u201d\nWeill endowed Cornell\u2019s medical school in 1998, and he served as a Cornell trustee for many years. The medical school is now officially the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College and Graduate School of Medical Sciences.\nEveryone likes a comeback. But I think that people revel in the loss of famous people\u2019s fame just as much. Why not, when there\u2019s an entire subset of popculture commentary that produces television shows like One Hit Wonder on vh1, eager to pounce on the fallen from grace and make light of lost stardom and the ever-fleeting fifteen minutes? With that kind of hostility waiting to announce a celebrity\u2019s dreaded \u201chas-been\u201d status, it\u2019s not surprising to see the lengths that people are willing to go through in order to hang on to the spotlight for dear life. I just think about the oddity that is William Shatner, the host of One Hit Wonder, who has miraculously achieved life after media death by fickle public opinion in building a subsequent career based solely on public self ridicule. Shatner has become the best living parody of his former self as Captain Kirk, but recharging an entertainment career doesn\u2019t have to be a joke. Surely there\u2019s no prototypical way of staging a comeback. There are the television actors who leap on the the big screen in the vain of George Clooney, and the child actors who break the mold to build reputable careers later in life like Drew Barrymore.\nI think comebacks are more amazing when they occur after a career misstep that others might have floundered and never recovered from, like the amazing way Madonna has consistently been able to appear unphased by bad reviews of her equally bad movies roles. Of course reinvention or a return to the spotlight is not always an effective move. Sharon Stone\u2019s over hyped and anticipated return to her breakthrough role in Basic Instinct 2 didn\u2019t amount to much of anything, but a prolonged sequel more than worked for Ah-nuld and T:2 in the Terminator franchise, released nearly a decade after the original. Here are a few people that have successfully gone through a transformation or a slight reworking of their traditional terrain in my eyes.\nLL Cool J and J. Lo in Lose Control\nThis track sounds like it should be blasting on an old school boom box circa 1987. It\u2019s the latest single from LL\u2019s forthcoming Todd Smith album, and was impeccably produced by Jermaine Dupri. LL\u2019s slowed down flow reminds me of the sound of the glory days of hip hop a la Sugar Hill Gang when it was fresh and new but with a modern twist. Everyone is in awe of LL Cool J\u2019s career longevity, and how he\u2019s still a hot emcee at 37 years old. But I\u2019m more surprised at Jennifer Lopez\u2019s involvement with this hit than anything else. I simply cannot think of the last time she\u2019s done something cool and forward-moving that broke away from the usual pop music mold. It\u2019s the formulaic rapper / singer duet, but makes you do a refreshing double take. I guess Ms. Lopez is capable of a lot more musically than I ever gave her credit for.\nWill Smith in Hitch\nThis is more about Will Smith\u2019s redemption in my eyes. I mean Will Smith has never left the scene, and remains one of the biggest names in the business. But when this movie first came out, I refused to see it. Over the years Smith has acquired a cheesiness factor that downright annoys me. I don\u2019t know if it was Wild Wild West or because he insists on recording more horrible rap albums, I can\u2019t pinpoint it to be sure. However lame he seems at times, Hitch is a throwback to a time when Smith was a cool kid, back when he didn\u2019t diss rappers who use profanity and when he chilled with Jazzy Jeff and wrote songs about the Summer time. The movie affirms Smith\u2019s ability to carry a starring vehicle that shies away from the buddy comedies in which he first began his movie career.\nDave Chappelle in Block Party\nAmerica\u2019s former favorite funny man (for a quick minute) decided to have all of his friends and favorite artists perform a concert in Brooklyn. The event was free for all, including residents from his Ohio town who came along for the ride. The result has been heralded as Chappelle\u2019s return to form, and an enjoyable social remark and festival documentary. I don\u2019t think we will see Dave Chappelle back in the spotlight quite to the extent of his height in fame, but a return to a former element always helps ease the transition.\nArchived article by Sophia Asare Sun Staff Writer\nAn Album For Our Era\nIn two days, Danny Ross Weisfeld will be performing his 17-piece conceptual rock album One Way at the Williard Straight Memorial Room. Featuring a core band including piano, drums, bass, and guitar, many of the songs are also scored for six string parts, three horn pieces, and three vocalists. The music is intensely personal and powerfully diverse \u2013 comparisons to The Who\u2019s masterpiece Tommy are not out of the question.\nBut nine months ago, Danny could only sing and play a few piano riffs. \u201cI had the mind of a musician but not the ability,\u201d he told me. The story from September to Saturday is a testament to creativity and inspiration, one almost as rich as the one told in his debut performance of the album, One Way.\nOne Way is the finale to the College Scholars program Danny pursued in Popular Music Composition and Performance. Academically, the major means courses in music theory, piano, and voice, as well as weekly meetings with academic advisors in the music and English departments. In reality, One Way means months of writing music and lyrics, planning performance space, finding the best musicians on campus, and generally speaking, growing the confidence necessary to publicly present what Danny considers easily his life\u2019s greatest accomplishment.\nTo say Danny is devoted to the his musical project would be an understatement. More accurately, One Way is the culmination of months, even years, of obsessive daily work. The drive to create something musical began with the music his parents played when he was younger, was internalized in his teens with the music of Bob Dylan, Wilco, and Brian Wilson, and realized by the experiences of approaching adulthood. Through this lens, the story of making one\u2019s way will be a message any college students will understand.\nDanny told me that the The Kings of Leon album second title Youth and Young Manhood eloquently summarizes the experiences that his work tries to articulate. These are years of ambivalent in-betweenness \u2013 somewhere in the middle between ivory towers and office buildings. Adulthood is never too far away, and for Danny\u2019s protagonist, learning to embrace the future instead of fearing it is an important lesson. Although the transition is not an easy one, \u201cOne Way is a belief in progress, in getting to the place you want to get to.\u201d It is an affirmation of the dreams we have when we\u2019re young. For Danny, One Way is what happens when a dream comes true.\nYet another theme of the work is that achieving success is not a passive act. Consider Danny\u2019s lyrics, the result weekly meetings with Professor (and published poet) Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon that sharpened and articulated what are most often ineffable thoughts. The work shows in particularly poetic lines like \u201cThe yellow leaves of aging trees/ Invite the wind to smoke/ Steeped in rain, the colors change/ A chill felt through my coat.\u201d They\u2019re abstract enough to make the story universally relevant but still maintain a linear plot that narrates the inner thoughts of an introspective narrator.\nSitting in on one of One Way\u2019s rehearsals gave me an opportunity to see if the music is as intense as Danny makes it out to be. It is. The pieces begin with a melodic hook which eventually settle into familiar territory like rock or doo-wop. Sometimes just a few instruments and Danny\u2019s expressive voice round out a song, but more often horn parts subtly make their way in, with a little flourish of cellos, violas, and violins to complete the confluence.\nThe communication between musicians is uncanny, particularly between Danny and his drummer Zach Jauvtis. Through the twists and turns of complicated arrangements, the group stuck together even with only a few rehearsals under their belt. And though the pressures of the approaching debut loomed overhead, Danny kept the morale high with jokes and constant encouragement.\nDanny was unsurprised when I commented on how effortlessly the music came together. \u201cI surrounded myself with the best musicians at Cornell \u2013 and they make these songs better than I ever envisioned.\u201d The feelings seem mutual; violinist Aneesha Dharwadker told me she enjoys the musical setting which is both relaxed and serious. \u201cI was expecting a chamber orchestra, but I love playing next to a snare drums and guitars. It creates an interesting juxtaposition between shimmery strings and more percussive brass.\u201d Dharwadker told me that Danny trusts his musicians. His rehearsals are extraordinarily democratic; spontaneous revisions are welcome, all of which add to Danny\u2019s goal of making One Way as good as it can be.\nAbout half-way through the session, one of Danny\u2019s project advisors, Professor Steven Pond of the music department wandered in. He sat quietly in the back, but it was impossible not to notice his beaming smile and toe-tapping. When I grabbed Pond on the way out, he revealed that this was his first time actually hearing the music. \u201cI\u2019m more of an intellectual advisor,\u201d he said. \u201cI help him understand what the experience is all about: having a vision and orchestrating it.\u201d But he was obviously impressed with the result.\nDanny is the first to admit that he, too, would have never thought that One Way would turn out as inspiring as it is. \u201cI finished everything I set out to do, and more,\u201d Danny beamed. And after Saturday? \u201cThe second half of my life will begin.\u201d\nArchived article by Elliot Singer Sun Arts and Entertainment Editor and Jonnie Lieberman Associate Editor",

        "raw_content": "Tag Archives: the for-profit corporate was on public schools in the United States\nThe Hostile Corporate Takeover of America\u2019s Public Schools Opens a Pandora\u2019s Box\nUnless you live in a closet or cave without electricity and the internet, it\u2019s no secret that the hostile for-profit corporate takeover of America\u2019s democratic public schools has led to billions of tax dollars lost to white collar fraud and crime with a lot more to come. > Despite Big Problems Charters Attract Hedge Fund Support and Presidential Candidates Hungry for Dollars\nOne of those attempted hostile takeovers is happening in Los Angeles, I read about this at John Thompson: Dare Anyone Say No to Eli Broad on Diane Ravitch\u2019s Blog.\nThompson wrote, \u201cIt (Broad) produces a multicolored map of clusters of low-performing schools (in the city of Los Angeles), while pretending that it doesn\u2019t undermine their case. The graphic supposedly shows, \u2018These areas are especially ripe for charter expansion.\u2019\u201d\nThe Broad report doesn\u2019t mention the poverty in those same areas of low-performing schools, but, and this is a BIG but, there is more than just poverty in Los Angeles. With that poverty comes extremely dangerous street gangs, and Los Angeles is home to the largest population of street gangs in the United States.\nIt would be nice to compare the Broad map to two other maps\u2014the Los Angeles Street Gang map and a second map\u2014if I could find one\u2014that reveals where the most poverty is in Los Angeles, because in 2012, 29.9% of the children in Los Angeles lived in poverty.\n> Child Poverty in California\nIn addition, Los Angeles is home to more street gangs than any city in the United States. Will Broad\u2019s opaque, authoritarian, for-profit corporate Charter school scheme identify all the gang members and make sure none of them get in to his charters\u2014I think this is unlikely?\nI taught for thirty years in an area of Los Angeles County where the local street gangs pretty much ruled the streets around the schools\u2014even the local police didn\u2019t risk patrolling some of those streets at night. In fact, I witnessed with my own eyes a drive by shooting from my classroom doorway in the street beside the high school where I taught as school was letting out.\nHardly a week went by without one of our students being gunned down due to rival street gang violence. For instance, one night while working late with the editors of the high school newspaper, a hard core teenage gang member was gunned down and murdered with a shotgun blast to his guts on campus at 7:00 p.m. right outside of that classroom where I was working late with the seven female student editors of the high school newspaper. The poverty rate in that community was and still is higher than 90%.\n\u201cGang presence in U.S. schools is a formidable obstacle for educators, law enforcement, and other youth-service professionals. Street gangs are linked to crime in elementary, secondary, and high schools, and on select college campuses. Schools provide fertile grounds for recruitment and many public schools are rife with gang activity such as assaults, robberies, threats and intimidation, drug distribution, and weapons offenses. Gang presence on college campuses is a growing concern as more gang members are gravitating toward colleges to escape gang life, join college athletic programs, or to acquire advanced skill sets for their gang.\u201d\n> FBI\u2019s 2013 National Gang Report\nApproximately 1.4 million people were gang members as of 2011, and more than 33,000 gangs were active in the United States. Los Angeles has been nicknamed the Gang Capital of America, with an estimated 120,000 gang members as of 2007 (11.6% of the nation\u2019s total). According to a May 2001 Drug Threat Assessment by the National Drug Intelligence Center, Los Angeles was home to 1,350 gangs.\nBut the Los Angeles police department only has 9,843 officers, who were outnumbered more than 12 to 1.\nI wonder if Eli Broad plans to privatize the police force in Los Angeles too, so he can wage war against these gangs to clean up the streets and keep their members out of his corporate Charters. Imagine what that will cost the tax payers when the police work for an autocratic, opaque, for-profit corporation that doesn\u2019t have to answer to the same rules and regulations that the public police must follow or else. And if Broad ends up buying the Los Angeles Times newspaper as he wants, he\u2019d also control the media in Los Angeles so his corporate police crimes would probably not appear in his newspaper.\nStreet gangs are expanding in Los Angeles, and Eli Broad\u2014even if he doesn\u2019t know it yet\u2014is going to end up competing with them, because Eli Broad is an autocratic billionaire at war with democracy, but so are the street gangs in Los Angeles.\n\u201cVarious Crip and Blood factions have shown an inclination to cooperate with one another based on drug trafficking. They have established funds from drug money to provide for bail and lawyers. The traditional \u2018dope lawyers\u2019 are showing up on non-drug gang cases. These lawyers are not local attorneys but are from Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. This illustrates the growing wealth and sophistication of these gangs. Some of the older and more successful street gang members in Los Angeles County have purchased legitimate businesses to launder drug money. Some of these businesses are car washes, auto painting/body and fender shops, motels, auto dealerships, and liquor stores. The next step could be respectability in the community for these drug-trafficking gang members, as well as involvement in politics. The wealth and sophistication of the gangs, coupled with their penchant for violence gives them the potential for becoming one of the largest and most dangerous crime problems in the region if not the Nation.\u201d\nEli Broad wants to replace the transparent, democratic, public schools in Los Angeles with his own opaque, autocratic, for-profit, corporate charters. The street gangs already have a strong presence in the public schools to recruit new members, so Broad\u2019s charters will be in competition with the gangs as they attempt to infiltrate his corporate schools. This means Broad will soon be at war with the largest and most dangerous crime problems in the region if not the Nation.\nIn fact, the gangs might even take advantage of the opportunity Broad wants to create and open their own corporate charters through front organizations.\nEli Broad had better tread carefully with his hostile goal to grab the public schools in Los Angeles. He and his entire family might not wake up one morning to discover that he has been eliminated by the Crips and/or Bloods because he dared to invade their turf.\nBefore the hostile corporate takeover of public schools started with NCLB and Obama\u2019s RTTT, the gangs couldn\u2019t buy the public schools and own and manage them but now they can. The door is wide open. If one secretive Islamic Turkish Cleric can own 120 American Charter Schools, what\u2019s going to stop the gangs from doing the same thing? > The Atlantic\nThen again, maybe the Sinaloa drug cartel already owns Eli Broad, and he is allegedly their legitimate but corrupt front. After all, the feds say that Los Angeles is the epicenter of cartel money laundering, and what better business to launder money than an opaque corporate charter school chain that doesn\u2019t have to make its money transactions public like the public school?\nPosted by Lloyd Lofthouse on October 9, 2015 in American Public Schools, American Street Gangs, child abuse, child poverty in the US, NCLB, Obama's Race to the Top, politics, propaganda and lies, Public School, teaching children who live in poverty\nTags: childhood poverty, children with PTSD, Eli Broad's hostile take over of the public schools in Los Angeles, Eli Broad's propaganda and lies, Los Angeles street gangs, street gang violence, the for-profit corporate was on public schools in the United States",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Epiphany, Twelve Drummers Drumming & The Last Day of Christmas\nA Year With (or without) God\nI listened to the full NPR story about Ryan Bell, but it really isn\u2019t complete \u2013 at least not to me. My reactions to Pastor Bell\u2019s declaration to \u201cSpend A Year Without God\u201d aren\u2019t particularly philosophical, and (in truth) they\u2019re basically personal gut feelings. Here\u2019s a sampling \u2013 no special order \u2013 bullet point style:\nBell explains how he has been a long time leader in his church and states that it\u2019s an expectation of church leaders that they will have fewer questions about God and faith (but he doesn\u2019t give any examples of what that looks like) as opposed to being a member of a church who supposedly comes to there seeking answers and the guidance that an intercessor might provide. Bell goes on to say that he can\u2019t remember a time when he wasn\u2019t \u201cwrestling\u201d with his faith.\nFor me, every single clergy person whom I have ever truly felt guided by or had any sort of spiritual trust in \u2013 was someone who was able to articulate that yes, they believe in God \u2013 and yes, they have many questions. I would be wary of anyone who blindly or overzealously or dogmatically claimed to be completely in the know when it comes to God. The God I believe in has space for my questions. The leaders of faith I want to listen to and learn from are those who are humble and continually seeking.\nBell talks about going to church, and over time feeling as though it (church) was gradually no longer serving as a connecting point for him. He stopped going to church, and then eventually began to wonder about God in general.\nThis part simply got me thinking about my path. (Skip the next three paragraphs if you want something more meaty.) I both enjoyed and didn\u2019t like attending church as a child. I adored standing next to my mother and singing our favorite hymns; I didn\u2019t like getting up on Sunday morning and found Sunday school an abysmal waste of time. I appreciated sermons that taught me lessons that I could apply to present life and those that emphasized that timelessness of Christ\u2019s teachings; I didn\u2019t fancy hearing old testament stories that made me fearful and guilty. I was grateful for the community of people who looked out for me; I was angry when fellow church goers didn\u2019t act that true Christians.\nI grew up and eventually (physically) moved away from my childhood house of worship. When I later felt pulled to return to the place and all of its familiar trappings \u2013 to explore whether I wanted to bring and introduce my own children there, I found that I no longer wanted to express my faith in the same ways that my parents had raised me ie. a specific place, prayer books and hymnals, repetitive ceremonies lead by someone \u201cin charge\u201d (and yes, I know it\u2019s much more than these things).\nLet me be clear: I truly appreciate my religious foundation and what I learned in the first 18 years of my life as a baptized and very involved Episcopalian. Yet my relationship with a Higher Power grew most profoundly when I discovered that I had the belief and the ability to connect with God without books, specific venues or other people. I discovered that I needed to realize my own way of praying, and I did. For me, leaving behind the actual sanctuary enabled me to create an internal one that I am free to live in whenever I chose.\nFinally (and foremost), when I first read the NPR headline I wondered, \u201cHow exactly does someone live without God, especially one who has ever had a relationship with God? I mean, I sorta get it; I didn\u2019t hear Ryan Bell say he doesn\u2019t believe in God. He implies that he is taking a break from structure. I also didn\u2019t hear him saying, \u201cI\u2019m atheist.\u201d He\u2019s taking a year off to read and explore. Maybe he\u2019ll finish up with a book about his experience (like many comment-ors claim will occur). Maybe he\u2019ll end up back in the church and reinstated as a teacher. Maybe he\u2019ll depart religion altogether.\nBut for me, having taken many years off from thinking about God yet continuing to believe because of childhood conditioning, and then spending more years thinking very much about God while questioning passionately, sometimes angrily, and often wanting to (as I once wrote) \u201csit knee to knee with God to ask some very direct questions,\u201d the idea of being without God doesn\u2019t fit. Now that I have earned and learned Faith, I just don\u2019t think it would be possible for me to kick God out. I don\u2019t believe there\u2019s an off switch that will silence the deeper questions. I think that Ryan Bell may still be interrupted by God in the middle of the night \u2013 when he can\u2019t stop the thought (or the prayer?) that comes sneaking in from the outer boundaries between sleep and wakefulness. He can name it what he wants in the morning.\nWhatever Pastor Bell calls it, I hope this year feeds his soul in positive ways. I hope it allows him to continue to do good in the world and supports his being a person who asks questions and digs deeper in the name of wholeness and love.\nThis entry was posted in Siftings and Essays of the Heart and tagged \"Spend A Year Without God\", Church, Faith, NPR, Pastor Ryan Bell. Bookmark the permalink.\n3 Responses to A Year With (or without) God\nCynthia Lawlis says:\nI remember, as a youngster in Father Dubay\u2019s congregation, the anticipation of the searing horror of being \u201cappetized\u201d and the distinct opposition to the \u201cwetting of my bangs\u201d\u2026your dad survived although I doubt it was a subject included in his \u201cOrdination Exam\u201d\u2026 Just sayin\nFaith is a good thing when tempered with historical reference, common sense and consideration for others.\nHaving read a plethora of material covering numerous sources regarding worship, theory and human conditions, and having witnessed sudden death , pain beyond description, human viciousness, in the simplest translation, not all riddles are to be answered and not all puzzles must be solved.\nLife is what it is.\nMake each day grander than the one before, for yourself and for those you love. Don\u2019t waste a second of it and make the best of each day we have \u2013 the long and winding road will end for each of us. Make good memories while you can.\nI agree the story is not complete. We know little about Ryan Bell in terms of history, family, age, relationships or the hurts and joys of his life.. Nor do we know details as to what he was fired for exactly. What were his disbeliefs and how were they expressed? Better yet, what are his beliefs that brought him into conflict? We do know he was well established in his church being a full professor at two seminaries. I think that he is indeed grieving having been fired from a prestigious position and might damn well be angry with his God. Anyhow my heart goes out to him as no doubt he is in some pain.\nPutting all this aside, I think he touches on the key issue when he talks of the need for a \u201csociety and community which can contain my questions\u201d-and I might add answers. Apparently he cannot find this either in his own Church or with the atheists.\nMany clergy, hopefully all, struggle with questions of faith\u2026who am I, what am I doing here. What is life, my life all about? Some give up struggling and simply carry on, no longer attending church when they retire as I understand is the situation with many Episcopal clergy. Struggle is perhaps not the right word here. While it is for some, I think that perhaps yearning is closer to the mark: a yearning to understand and see more clearly. For me, C.S, Lewis says it well: \u201cAt present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure. We cannot mingle with the splendors we see. But all the leaves of the New Testament are rustling with the rumor that it will not always be so. Someday, God willing we will all get in.\u201d From \u201cthe Weight of Glory\u201d\nWhat is innocuous for me is the whole idea, \u201cSpend a Year without God.\u201d Is he confusing God with organized religion. I mean come on! Does he really have a switch inside that will turn off yea many years of his history as Martha so elegantly wrote. I suspect that \u201cGod\u201d will continue knocking on his head and his heart. Back in the \u201860\u2019s I talked with many Jewish folk who after Austerlitz decided \u201cthere is no God.\u201d They were bitter. But you know, they were still living as if there was, or if not, in hope that God would reveal God-self to them again someday and apologize.\nI just hope this guy is not planning on writing a book because it has already been written many times.\nThanks for sharing your own journey so beautifully and openly.",

I honestly don\u2019t know what style this album is. It\u2019s a concept album, but it\u2019s more than that. This isn\u2019t a normal concept album in the sense that it\u2019s sung from the outside looking in, rather it\u2019s sung by the characters themselves. There is a running plot, as well as characters, but each character is sung by a different person from a different band of a different genre. These guests bring their own feeling to the song they worked on. For instance, Max Bemis from Say Anything uses lyrics from his album \u201c\u2026Is a Real Boy\u201d; John Baldwin of Portugal. The Man brings a soul-full approach to his act; and Casey from The Dear Hunter soothes us with his gentle voice set to wonderful melodies that have a definite \u2018the-dear-hunter\u2019 feel. Not to mention that there is a narrator as well as dialogue between characters.\nContinue reading \u2018Critique: Razia\u2019s Shadow: A Musical by Forgive Durden\u2019\nFirst Listen: Razia\u2019s Shadow by Forgive Durded (Tom Dutton)\nPublished December 11, 2008\tMusic Leave a Comment\nI know. I know. I\u2019m really behind the times with this one, but I just discovered it, Forgive Durden\u2019s \u201cRazia\u2019s Shadow: A Musical\u201d, yesterday, and I haven\u2019t stopped listening since. On first listen, I didn\u2019t even know that there were cameos from other great bands on the disc. However,\nI was able to recognize five of the them, and they all fit perfectly. The biggest impression was Max Bemis referencing his own song in the lyrics with, \u201cI am the spider. Crawl inside her.\u201d Absolutely brilliant! The rest of the cameos each bring what-they-do-best to the song they were assigned and ultimately makes the album a beautiful piece of art. A full review will be written in the coming week, but until then, you can listen to the whole album streaming at Forgive Durden\u2019s Purevolume page and watch the first of what I can only assume as many music videos after the break.\nForgive Durden \u2013 Life Is Looking Up from david kalani larkins on Vimeo.\nUpdate: New Song From The Dear Hunter\u2019s Album Act III\nTags: Act III, MTVU, The Dear Hunter, The Freshman\nRemember how Casey, the lead singer of The Dear Hunter, promised that he would post a video of a new song from their soon to be released album \u201cAct III\u201d if they won MTVU\u2019s The Freshman contest?

        "raw_content": "With more than 50 student organizations, eight Greek organizations and 17 varsity sports, the C-SC student population has plenty of opportunities to lead. Students even have the opportunity to be involved with student government which is part of representing students\u2019 best interests during important decisions on campus. Because all these organizations\u2019 governing bodies are formed solely of students, leaders of these groups can help one truly get a sense of how important leadership is when trying to keep the organizations happy and afloat. However, C-SC teaches that leadership is not only about having a title or position of power.\nAnna Stock \u201919 is a biological chemistry and pre-med major from Quincy, Illinois. During her time at C-SC, Stock took up leadership roles on campus which led to tremendous personal growth. Stock was a captain of the volleyball team, a member of the Sigma Sigma Sigma (Tri-Sigma) board, and vice president of Alpha-Pi. She also took part in leadership courses which only strengthened the foundation she had already gained from Culver-Stockton College. She learned to lead through respect. Stock believes that leadership is a lifestyle. A leader does not need to be a dictator, or even have a role of power. During the 3-week class period, she learned some real life skills such as travel and money exchange during her trips to London and Ireland. She also took the opportunity to get closer to her professors. \u201cIt\u2019s been so inspiring to see my professors so respectful of students, despite them being in a position of leadership. They were so polite and understanding and it set a great example for all of us students.\u201d As a pre-med student with aspirations in the medical field, she is grateful that she will be able to apply the skills she has learned at C-SC to her professional career. \u201cSomething I\u2019ve learned about leadership here is that it\u2019s not the role that you\u2019re in, it\u2019s the effort you make reaching out to people around you, and being someone that people can look up to, even when you\u2019re not intending to display leadership, you can exert the qualities that make you a leader and a role model. The best leaders are the ones who are not seeking out a title.\u201d",

As much as I like to travel, I don\u2019t like airports.\nLuckily! I had a friend from high school who was living in Malaysia right when I was passing through. I had not seen him in about 10 years. I shot him a message saying when I was landing. Here is how the conversation went:\nHe picked me up from the airport, then promptly hit up the bar, got some photo shoots and shopping squeezed in.\nI got a quick tour of the city, which was beautiful and clean, and even got a glimpse of a political protest nearby the twin towers. You would have seen these iconic buildings by now.\nThe one thing about KL which is a must do, especially if you are a football fan, is to visit a Mamak. Mamaks are cafes where you can watch matches, get curry, naan bread and other things to eat amongst one of the most delicious drinks called Bundang. It consists of evaporated milk or condensed milk flavored with rose cordial syrup, giving it a pink color. The drink is an adaptation of rose milk served in India. It is often served cold and is refreshing af, especially in the summer while having a plate of curry.\nWith enough time to catch a train back to the airport and catch my flight, I was able to get a taste of Malaysia in under 8 hours.\nMoral of the story: 1) Stay in touch with old friends and acquaintances, you never know when you are gonna need them and, 2) Take advantage of those long layovers.\nPosted on April 8, 2018 July 26, 2018 Author Daniel FadelleCategories blog, TravelTags asia, blog, Bundang, daniel fadelle, Malaysia, Travel, Twin Towers\nPrevious Previous post: Cacao Tea Podcast with Jael Joseph\nNext Next post: Things to consider when planning your trip",

        "raw_content": "Writer, humorist | 1835-1910 | Keokuk\nNoted Missourian Mark Twain was an Iowan for a few short years as a young man. He had strong ties to Keokuk and Muscatine. Samuel Langhorne Clemens' life in Iowa came years before the native of Florida, Mo., acquired his pen name and became a legendary author. Twain's older brother, Orion, moved to Iowa first, purchasing the Muscatine Journal in 1853, and his younger brother contributed articles as a correspondent. Twain moved to Muscatine in the summer of 1854, and recounted his experiences later in \"Life on the Mississippi.\" He fondly recalled the sunsets in Muscatine, writing: \"I have never seen any, on either side of the ocean, that equaled them.\" Twain moved away, but returned to Iowa in 1855, working for Orion for about two years at his Keokuk printing business. In Keokuk, Twain made his debut as a speaker, giving his first after-dinner talk Jan. 17, 1856, at a printers' banquet. The Keokuk Post noted his much-applauded wit and humor. In a letter to his mother in 1886, Twain remembered Keokuk's hot weather - heat so extreme it could make a person cry, he said. In his autobiography he recalled the bitter winter of late 1856, when he found a $50 bill blowing on the snowy pavement. Twain sold his first written material to the Keokuk Post. He also corresponded regularly with a young woman of whom he was fond. Annie Taylor was a student at Iowa Wesleyan College at Mount Pleasant. Twain left Iowa until 1867, when he lectured at Keokuk, Davenport and Iowa City. In 1886 he was in Keokuk with his wife Olivia and their children for a family reunion on the Fourth of July in Rand Park. In 1889 he bought a home at 626 High St. for his mother, Jane Clemens, who was 82, and revisited her in 1890 when she was ill.",

        "title": "8 Sins of the Product Owner and Ideas for Change - Desmart Agile Software House",
        "raw_content": "Recently we shared an example of a Great Product Owner with you. Today I want to write a little bit about the mistakes a good Product Owner should avoid.\nWho is the Product Owner?\nScrum Guide speaks of 3 roles in a project - Scrum Master, Product Owner and the Team. According to the definition \"product owner is typically a project\u2019s key stakeholder\" and he is responsible for a number of things, such as prioritizing the backlog, sharing the vision with the team and making decisions. In our experience, most often it\u2019s either a project manager or someone from the marketing department, or sometimes even the CEO of the company.\nHis role is vital and requires a lot of attention, patience and availability. Every time we start a project I see that Product Owners are enthusiastic and willing to cooperate. In practice, it\u2019s not always what it\u2019s cracked up to be. Here are some issues that can be fixed:\nSin #1: Wishful thinking (\"We will make it all on time! People gonna love it!\")\nOnce you have entered the startup world, there are no ready recipes. There are no blueprints you can follow and predict exactly what it will take to build a given product. That\u2019s why you do it with agile process, because in agile you iterate and learn. From what you have learned comes the wisdom to make good decisions. Your best chance to deliver the best product is not to guess but to measure. To put it more simply - you can use the knowledge of what the team was able to accomplish in a given time to predict what else can be done.\nSame goes for the key functionalities that make a product - don\u2019t just guess what is the users\u2019 problem, ask them.\nSolution: Don\u2019t make decisions based on feelings only. Whenever possible, look for evidence that can support your decision.\nSin #2: Not knowing the product (\"I don\u2019t know what it should do, it was Mark\u2019s idea ...\")\nYou are the one person, who should know the product like the back of your hand. If there are more stakeholders with ideas of what the product should be like, you are the person who should collect these and funnel them into backlog. You are the master of the backlog, you were entrusted to deliver the product. The worst case scenario is when product owner doesn\u2019t know what the product should do. It means you haven\u2019t done your homework.\nSolution: There are many canvas tools (Business Model Canvas, Product Canvas) - use them to do your homework of learning together with the stakeholders what is the product you want to build.\nSin #3: Lack of vision and indecisiveness (\"Let\u2019s add back the functionality we\u2019ve removed 3 weeks ago\")\nAgile is all about embracing the change, but there are limits. The worst type of a product owner is a person who changes his mind every week. The Team has run a workshop with the Product Owner before the project, they agreed on the backlog and the scope of the first release, and started development. In the meantime, the Product Owner insists on changes or worse, sometimes brings back the functionality which he has decided to remove a couple of weeks ago. This leads straight to failure, as the goal was to deliver fast, fail fast and learn fast. With each unnecessary change you delay the release.\nSolution: Focus. Embrace the concept of MVP. Keep your personal perfectionist from stopping you from delivering. Make decisions and stick with them, until you have tests to prove they don\u2019t work.\nSin #4: Aggressive communication (\"Are you nuts, it\u2019s useless, we cannot launch it in this state\")\nIt\u2019s not uncommon that people speak of a startup as if it was their baby. It\u2019s your own personal idea you try to conceive and grow into a product that will be loved by millions. And there is this little perfectionist inside of you, who wants it to be the prettiest, most useful product on the market. Maybe you have this little feature that you love. It might be not critical, but you like it a lot. It\u2019s your idea. Then you encounter a minor difference in how it looks. Maybe the colour is missed by a tone, or the button position is not fixed where you would like it to be. Maybe the Team has missed a deadline. You get emotional and your words are not nice. But you know what - the people on the other side also get emotional about their work. Don\u2019t discard it as a whole just because you don\u2019t like a part of it. Screaming, blaming and making people feel guilty creates a toxic atmosphere.\nSolution: Keep calm. Believe that people in your tech team have good intentions and respect them by using positive communication (assertive and constructive feedback).\nSin #5: Not knowing the limits (\"Let\u2019s build it all. And add that too.\")\nA good Product Owner is a realistic one. She knows her limits - she may have a budget for a given number of weeks of the Team\u2019s work, she may have a deadline (fixed or flexible, but still a deadline). Don\u2019t cheat yourself by making an assumption that budget and time can be stretched, and the whole scope you would like to have in a product will come with the first release. Remember iterations? That\u2019s how you learn how much can be done in a specific amount of time. That\u2019s what you use to predict and evaluate what can be done in the time you have, within the budget at your disposal. Then use this knowledge to prioritize the backlog, to set milestones, the scopes of releases and make sure that the Team knows where they are heading.\nSolution: Set or learn the limits to stay in control and keep the transparency of your software development process.\nSin #6: Crossing the borders of competences (\"It will take you 3 days to make that\")\nI like this one. In my career I\u2019ve met so many business people who tell you what to build and even worse, how to build it. They may say: \u201cLet\u2019s use Ruby in this project\u201d, and the only reason they can give is that company X used it. They may question your estimations, even though they haven\u2019t made a single software project before. It\u2019s then that I ask myself why do they require my skills and experience in the first place.\nTrust is valuable nowadays. It\u2019s also said - \"trust builds trust\". If you want me to trust you in a given topic, then show me integrity, competences, intentions and a track record. If you switch into a control freak mode, you will find yourself with limited time and resources to envision the product.\nSolution: Do your homework - do some research about the Team you want to bring on board, ask them questions to learn if you can trust them. Then let them do their work and trust in their intent to make it the best possible.\nSin #7: Lack of preparation\nAgile software development requires a lot of availability from the Product Owner. Planning sessions, retrospections and sometimes daily stand-ups - it all requires preparation. We know you are most probably a really busy person. So respect your time and the Team\u2019s time and be ready for the meetings. When homework is not done, questions have not been answered, you haven\u2019t discussed with stakeholders what should come next - it\u2019s annoying. It may weaken the motivation of the Team.\nSolution: Be prepared. Always. Respect the Team who works hard and expects the same attitude from you. It\u2019s your business and your success is on the line, so make sure you have enough time to handle this. Or delegate the role of the Product Owner to someone else.\nSin #8: Lack of involvement\nWhen starting to work with a Team, the Product Owner usually has high expectations. The Team is paid for development, and deadlines are expected to be met. But then the Team starts to ask questions, schedule meetings with the Product Owner and faces a wall of silence, cryptic responses and postponed calls. For me it\u2019s as simple as that - if you don\u2019t have time for the communication necessary to deliver the product, the product is not important to you. We shouldn\u2019t have started this project in the first place. If I am wrong, and you care about the product, then show it to me.\nSolution: Get involved. Show that you care about the product, so that the Team starts caring about it with you.\nOf course the list is not finished. There are more sins, but these are the mistakes I recently encountered and often enough to make it worthwhile to point them out. I know that being a Product Owner is not an easy job, but it\u2019s a duty. We run a workshop for Product Owners and make them aware of their responsibility. It may be hard, especially at the beginning, but I am confident in the end you will appreciate being the founding father of the product.\nDo you have your own experience with annoying Product Owner behaviours?

        "raw_content": "End of the Line: What Happened to the Blue Ridge Railroad?\nStandard 5-2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the continued westward expansion (in South Carolina) of the United States.\n5-2.1 Explain how aspects of the natural environment \u2013 including the principal mountain ranges and rivers, terrain, vegetation, and climate of the region affected travel to the West and thus the settlement of that region. (G, H)\n5-2.3 Summarize how railroads affected development of the West, including their ease and inexpensiveness for travelers and their impact on trade and the natural environment. (G, E, H)\nL. Interpret maps, letters, and other artifacts.\nRailroads developed in the mid-1800\u2019s because of technological innovations such as the rail iron needed for tracks, steam-powered locomotives, and advancement of passenger and freight trains. As early as 1836-1837, John C. Calhoun explored the Blue Ridge Mountains to find a \u201cCarolina Gap.\u201d (Plisco 2002, intro.) In 1840 the total railroad laid across the US was less than 3,000 miles. By 1860, it was over 27,000 miles. The train lines moved traffic away from main water routes and across previously undeveloped land. However, enormous amounts of capital were necessary for railroad construction. (Brinkley 2005, 152). Some investments came from private sources, but much of it came from state and local government funding. South Carolina was behind the North in developing their railroads because they were opposed to accepting federal funding for internal improvements within the state.( Plisco 2002, intro.) Unfortunately, this put the entire financial burden on South Carolina and private investors.\nTowns and farms grew up along railroad routes. Areas once inaccessible to outside markets could transport goods for commerce. Railroads cut the time of shipment and travel and were a new stimulus for economic development. (Brinkley 2005, 152).\nStumphouse Tunnel was quite literally the end of the line in an attempt to complete a direct railroad line from Charleston, SC to Cincinnati, Ohio. One reason it wasn\u2019t completed was because of financial difficulties within the state caused by the misuse of money by the original contractors Anson Bangs & Co. who from the start of the project misrepresented their qualifications to build the railroad. (Plisco 2002,13). The Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad Company was founded in 1837 by private investors in Charleston and Cincinnati. The rail line was only completed to Anderson, Pendleton, West Union and Walhalla by the late 1850\u2019s. Stumphouse Mountain was one of the most costly portions of the rail to complete because of it steep grade and the blue granite that had to be drilled, blasted with black powder, dug and hauled. (Plisco 2002, 118). It was too much to overcome before funding ran out. In addition, another major problem hindering rapid progress was the lack of an adequate work force. (Plisco 2002, 92).\nIn 1852, the plan for crossing the mountain was renewed. The railroad would connect SC\u2019s railway system to existing Midwestern railways. In the second attempt the Blue Ridge Railroad Company was formed to complete a railway across the Blue Ridge Mountains from Anderson to Knoxville and later on to Cincinnati. In all, 13 tunnels were needed to be dug in order to cross the Blue Ridge Mountains. Three of the tunnels would be in SC, the first being Stumphouse Tunnel. The two others were Middle Tunnel and Saddle Tunnel. The Saddle Tunnel was never completed. The Middle Tunnel was completed but was closed due to land slides, and the Stumphouse Tunnel was meant to be completed but was also closed due to land slides. Stumphouse Tunnel was planned to be 5,863 ft., but in 1859 with only 4,363 ft. completed, the state refused to send more money. (\u201cHistory of Stumphouse Tunnel.\u201d Walhalla Chamber of Commerce. Internet, Accessed 16 July 2008.)\nIn 1860 Abraham Lincoln was elected President of the United States. It was widely known that he was in favor of a federally-funded Railroad connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. It was also understood that the Southern route to California, suggested by Jefferson Davis would be rejected because it would run through slave states. By December 17, 1860, SC voted to leave the Union. The political climate at the time ended any hopes for a completion of the line through Stumphouse Tunnel. The Transcontinental Railroad did indeed take a more Northern route and the majority of the capital came from federal funds.(Plisco, 2002,109).\n\u201cA New Map of South Carolina: With Its Canals, Roads & Distances, From Place to Place Along the Stage & Steam Boat Routes.\u201d Available from the Teaching U.S. History website.

This course opened my eyes to the excitement of history. For the first time in my life I learned that it is necessary to ask the right questions in order to understand the significance of events. The content instruction, cultural institution collaboration, and methods portions of the class were key components to help me learn how to use South Carolina primary sources to teach American history.\nThe content instruction taught by Dr. Paul Anderson of Clemson University was very engaging. I read nightly from Alan Brinkley\u2019s text The Unfinished Nation Volume 1: To 1877 to prepare for the next days lesson. The content was brought to life by a class discussion focused on key themes. Dr. Anderson would frequently introduce three key terms. After discussing each term at length the class would look for common threads that bound the ideas together into a comprehensive theme. This was a totally new way for me to experience history. I found I was actively engaged in the class and stretched to \u201cthink like a historian\u201d. I also learned it is essential to ask questions such as who, what, when, where, and why. It became necessary to explain history by defining and citing significance of people and events. Another technique I learned was that of \u201cFun with Events\u201d. This activity required groups to put events into chronological sequence in order to understand how events shouldn\u2019t be looked at in isolation, but as a stimulus for the next event. Belief systems trigger responses. Finally, the class worked through a list called \u201cFun with Terms\u201d. This activity required us to choose three terms from the list in order to lead the class to the conclusions and themes planned by the teacher.\nThe second part of the course involved touring local cultural institutions. I was embarrassed to realize that I had not visited a single site prior to the class. I really did not know that so many resources were available or that so many primary sources were under my nose. I couldn\u2019t wait to introduce my students to the Oconee Heritage Museum located in Walhalla, SC. I wondered how many of my students have visited the museum. I also realized how important it is to feel connected to history. I guess there really is something to the saying, \u201cYou have to know where you\u2019ve been before you know where you are going.\u201d I wanted to bring this excitement of local history to my students so they could see how it relates to American history.\nMandy Davison, a Master teacher from West Oak Middle School in Walhalla taught the methods instruction during the final portion of the class. I learned the difference between primary and secondary sources. I also learned the value of incorporating primary sources into my daily lessons. We also talked about the RAD method, Read, Analyze, and Do. Students needed to be actively \u201cinvolved in the doing and learning of history.\u201d We worked on a newspaper activity, and a birth certificate information activity. I learned what was required in my portfolio assignment. I was also introduced to primary sources from the Treasure Trove. I was continually amazed at the resources available to all teachers of history in South Carolina.\nThe class TAHSC encouraged me to select and teach a lesson on a local topic and relate it to US history. I probably would not have taken that approach. However, I think by using the theme of Stumphouse Tunnel. I was able to introduce the topic of how railroads transformed the United States. This opened discussion that will build to how the Transcontinental Railroad would play a major role in the development of the west. I also was able to use quite a few primary sources in the lesson, including a copy of the letter requesting additional funds from the state to pay for the Blue Ridge Railroad. I would not have included such sources before taking this class.\nMy students took more of an interest in the topic because they already had some knowledge of Stumphouse Tunnel. I was impressed with their prior knowledge but knew they were ready to learn more to bring it to life for them. Upon reviewing the informal assessment, I was pleased to see that the majority of students were able to list at least two reasons why the Blue Ridge Railroad was never completed beyond Walhalla, SC. Most students cited a lack of funding, the steep grade of the mountain, lack of an adequate workforce, and preparation for war as reasons for the railroad\u2019s failure. They also saw how the railroad was more developed in the Northern states.\nUpon reflection, I would change my lesson to get my students thinking on a higher level. I don\u2019t believe I had my students actively involved enough in the lesson. I am thankful I provided an opportunity for them to learn more about the railroad at the Oconee Heritage Center. At this cultural institution they were able to explore the artifacts left on Tunnel Hill. They also were able to see a recreation of the tunnel and see a mural that had been painted to depict Irish immigrants working on the tunnels.\nThe teacher will look at the \u201cLearned\u201d portion in the K-W-L chart. I would expect to see at least two reasons why the Blue Ridge Railroad failed to complete a route from Charleston to Cincinnati. No grade will be assigned to this activity, but the lesson serves as an introduction to the Transcontinental Railroad and similar challenges the builders of that railroad will face.\nStudent K-W-L Chart\nStudent K-W-L Chart 2\nWendy Westbrook\nWalhalla Elementary, Walhalla, South Carolina",

        "raw_content": "Christi from TX Asked \u201c\nWe are traveling to WDW the first week of September and driving ourselves. Is it better to use our own car to get around the parks or use the WDW transportation system. We are staying at the Animal Kindom Lodge.\u201d\nIf it were me in your situation, we would probably use the buses to get to the theme parks, but would use a car to go between most resorts, or between a theme park and Downtown Disney.\nI would use a car in these situations because it would likely save us time. Many of the times you travel between resorts on the buses, you will need to use a theme park or Downtown Disney as a transfer point. Also, when you go between Downtown Disney and a theme park on the buses you typically need to use a resort as a transfer point (since parking is free at Downtown Disney, they don't want to make it too easy to get from Downtown Disney to a theme park [where you pay for parking if you aren't a resort guest]). Both of these transfers tend to make the overall commuting time a bit too long for my taste.\nI will, however, share another perspective from a dad I met on the Monorail last weekend. He had driven with his family from Ontario, and hadn't touched his car since they arrived at WDW (8 days prior). His opinion was that if he is on vacation, he wants to leave the driving to someone else. Period. He and his family seemed to be very relaxed and enjoying their vacation thoroughly, and quite grateful that Disney has a very effective transportation system. I must admit that this dad had a fairly compelling point of view. ;-)\np.s. If you want info on helpful resources to figure out Disney point-to-point transportation options and times, click here.

        "raw_content": "The last part of our Malaysia trip was into the Cameron Highlands. The drive from Kuala Lumpur was a straight highway for the first hour followed by mountain climbing in the last hour or two. Our driver was to drive us to Tanah Rata, from where a local guide would pick us up and take us around for a full day tour. Once our guide showed up we were driven up to our first stop: Boh Tea Plantation.\nThe plantation itself was beautiful. In general, most tea plantations have a very similar look, but the surrounding area, the hills, make for a very pretty stop. I did bring my drone along, so I was able to get some pretty interesting videos and photos. Sadly a few minutes after being in the air, I was approached by security to bring it down. Sad. But my fault for not getting permission beforehand. So for drone flyers, they do give our permission\u2026from my understanding.\nOther than admiring the landscape, there was also a nice tea and food place up a small hill. A fun place to have a nice warm cup of tea whilst enjoying the views. It is a bit expensive, but worth it if you want to just sit back and relax for a little. It does get crowded as well. Considering we went off-season, it was still pretty full.\nOnce we were done with the plantation, our next stop was the Mossy Forest. A beautiful drive up to the top of one hill, to climb another. The good thing was drone use was not banned here. The hike up is not bad at all to get to the top of the hill. You get to see the beautiful green moss all around the trees. All very protected. Views from the drone were pretty nice.\nAnd the views, once you get to the top of the path, aren\u2019t bad either.\nAfter the good walk, we head to a place called the Cameron Highlands Butterfly Garden. I\u2019ll be honest here for a second. I was sad to see the state of animals and butterflies here. Not much space for the butterflies to fly around. Since it was already paid for, I did try and get some good shots of the nice parts..but I\u2019d not go back here. I didn\u2019t have a good macro lens on me, so getting real close was a little harder.\nAgain, I\u2019d not recommend going here to support this. In fact, after spending some time here, I decided to check out their reviews online and a lot of people share the same sentiment.\nOh, and it\u2019s not just a butterfly farm. Lots of other animals all in very small spaces. I felt bad for them. Being from Africa, I\u2019m just used to seeing animals moving freely. Even a zoo gives so much more space.\nThe one thing I do support, however, is how many flowers they grow. Seriously! So many flowers everywhere. They even had dedicated flower farms.\nNext was a quick stop for lunch, at a small town called Brinchang. Lots of options for food for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Not much else to do here. So we head for the Buddhist Sam Poh Temple. The temple itself doesn\u2019t have much to see other than the location, but it\u2019s so peaceful. No noise whatsoever. It was on a hill after all. All you hear is the wind blow and the chimes from that. It was a well-needed rest after the intense day.\nOur last stop of the day was a remote \u201cwaterfall\u201d. And I mean remote. No tourists or even locals to crowd the area. It started raining as we got there so just sitting under the shade listening to the waterfall\u2026I would definitely love to sit there for hours, drink a cup of coffee, and read a book.\nYou can always find (by trip) my stories which include videos on my Instagram, so do check it out \ud83d\ude42\nboh tea, buddha, butterfly, cameron, flowers, highlands, landscape, malaysia, mountains, nature, plantation, Travel\nPrevious article\t\u2190 Exploring Kuala Lumpur & Genting Highlands, Malaysia",

        "title": "Reptiles in Captivity",
        "raw_content": "Herpetology in Tasmania\nHome>Wildlife Management>Living with Wildlife>Reptiles in Captivity\nThe keeping of reptiles in captivity is not encouraged by the Department. All reptiles have evolved as part of an ecosystem and are vital to the overall health of the ecosystem. They are best left alone or observed in their natural habitat. Besides, reptiles do not make particularly good pets. They are not affectionate animals, neither are they warm or furry.\nCollecting reptiles from the wild can lead to habitat destruction, stress to the animal, the mixing of otherwise genetically isolated populations and the spread of diseases. Larger individuals of some species are often extremely important in the local ecology and their removal can throw ecosystems out of balance.\nThere are, however, opportunities for amateur herpetologists to make important contributions to our knowledge of Tasmanian reptiles and amphibians. Observations made on captive animals may be applied to assist in the conservation of these species in the wild. If the code of practice is adhered to and reptile keepers accept their responsibilities toward their charges, there is no reason that herpetologists should not be able to pursue their interests toward the benefit of herpetology in Tasmania.\nRecently laws have been introduced to protect all species of reptile in Tasmania, bringing the island state in line with mainland Australian states. Tasmania recognises the important contributions that amateur hepetologists can make (and have made) to our knowledge of reptiles.\nIt is a fairly straightforward process for anybody to obtain a herptology permit to keep a number of Tasmanian reptiles and frogs in captivity, provided they do this within the terms of the permit. One of the conditions of the permit is compliance with the code of practice, which has been drawn up in consultation with amateur herpetological groups in Tasmania to encourage responsible keeping practices.\nFor further information about the laws in place regarding keeping reptiles in Tasmania and your responsibilities see Herpetology in Tasmania.\nNotes on captive husbandry of Tasmanian reptiles are also available from the Wildlife Management Branch. A copy of these notes are sent out with every Herpetology Permit.\nTasmania has a long standing policy not to allow the import or export of reptiles to and from the State except under permit for scientific research or for zoological display. The exporting of any Australian species of reptile is illegal under federal law.\nThe movement of wildlife outside of their natural habitat endangers vulnerable populations, spreads diseases, and can have catastrophic environmental consequences. For example, a fungal disease which is killing Tasmanian platypus has recently been linked to the importation of Green Tree Frogs to Tasmania. Some diseases have long incubation periods and an animal that appears healthy can be a potential time bomb amongst a collection or population of reptiles.\nThe illegal export or import of wildlife (smuggling) is a serious threat to many vulnerable or localised animal populations. Many animals die en route and the market is usually for collectors who have more concern for their own prestige than for the welfare of the animal. If you know of any organisations or individuals involved in such activities in Australia, call Customs Watch on 1800 06 1800.\nWhile not as demanding as mammals, reptiles do have particular requirements in captivity.\nHousing requirements for reptiles vary between species, but all reptiles share some basic requirements. Reptile enclosures need to be kept clean and dry, so it is important to have a design that can be easily maintained. It is important that enclosures are secure not only to prevent the escape of the captive animals but to prevent pets and children from getting in. Security is obviously extremely important with snakes. An escaped snake turning up in your neighbour's house is unlikely to endear them to you or make them feel sympathetic towards your unusual hobby. A secure, well ventilated, easily maintained enclosure is best.\nIt is important that reptiles have access to a warm area and a cool area that they can move between to be able to maintain their preferred body temperature. Be aware that a glass enclosure left in the sun will very rapidly heat up above the temperature of the rest of the room. Be careful when considering where to put such an enclosure. In the wild many species of Tasmanian reptile enter a torpor during the colder months, during which time any prolonged disturbance such as unnecessary handling can lead to sickness as the reptile burns up energy reserves. If reptiles get too cold, they are unable to digest food. It is best to keep Tasmanian species in conditions that allow them to shut down over winter. This may make them rather boring \"pets\" but reptiles are not generally affectionate anyhow. If you tend to have a roaring fire at night in the same room that you keep your reptiles, their metabolism will speed up and they will require food.\nMany reptile species are naturally timid and need to have access to hiding places as otherwise they become stressed. Some reptiles never adapt to captivity and will always shy away at the approach of a person. Shelter can be provided in the form of a hollow log or a small box with an narrow entrance (a hinged lid will allow access for cleaning etc). Some species, like White's skinks, are strongly territorial and may injure or even kill \"strangers\" introduced to their territory.\nMany species of reptile are fussy eaters, requiring live food such as insects or a varied diet. All captive reptiles should have access to clean water. Some reptiles will feed on smaller reptiles, and it is important to avoid putting very differently sized animals in the same enclosure. While most skinks can be trained to feed on fruit, baby food or dogfood, some individuals will only ever accept insects. It is important to vary the type of insect food presented. Ask yourself whether you have the commitment to care for these animals before you decide to keep any.\nMany reptiles harbour parasites such as worms, nematodes, ticks and mites. Some diseases, such as salmonella can be passed on to people by handling reptiles and it is strongly recommended that anybody who handles reptiles washes and dries their hands thoroughly before eating. It is important to quarantine any new reptiles before introducing them to a collection.\nThere is a tremendous amount that we don't know about the behaviour and ecology of Australia's fauna. Anybody with good observation skills can make contributions to the body of knowledge on reptiles. Information on captive animals can sometimes be applied to the management of wild populations. It is a good idea to keep records of the following. Size of animal when it entered your care. Where the animal was acquired from. If the animal has been captive bred, where the parents came from. The sex of the animal (if known). Temperature gradients within the enclosure (a maximum/minimum thermometer can be used). Any unusual behaviour.",

        "raw_content": "The CDC says diseases from ticks, mosquitos, and fleas have tripled in recent years. Here\u2019s what Massachusetts residents need to know.\nA local health official and an infectious disease doctor break down the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.\nTicks are displayed that were collected by South Street Veterinary Services in Pittsfield, Mass.\n\u2013Ben Garver / The Berkshire Eagle via AP, File\nBy . Dialynn Dwyer\nDon\u2019t forget your bug repellant as you make your summer plans.\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a report last week that the number of illnesses caused by mosquito, tick, and flea bites more than tripled in the United States between 2004 and 2016.\n\u201cZika, West Nile, Lyme, and chikungunya\u2014a growing list of diseases caused by the bite of an infected mosquito, tick, or flea\u2014have confronted the U.S. in recent years, making a lot of people sick. And we don\u2019t know what will threaten Americans next,\u201d CDC Director Robert R. Redfield said in a statement. \u201cOur Nation\u2019s first lines of defense are state and local health departments and vector control organizations, and we must continue to enhance our investment in their ability to fight against these diseases.\u201d\nLocal experts began cautioning in early April that ticks alone in particular would be a headache for New Englanders this spring and summer.\nTo learn more about the risks for tick, mosquito, and flea-borne diseases Massachusetts residents face, we turned to Deputy State Epidemiologist and State Public Health Veterinarian Dr. Catherine Brown and Dr. Linden Hu, associate chief for research in the\nDivision of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Disease at Tufts Medical Center.\nHere\u2019s what they say Bay State residents should be on guard for as the ticks, mosquitos, and fleas emerge with the warm weather.\nIllness from ticks is of the most concern in Massachusetts\nBrown said she hopes most residents of the commonwealth are already aware that diseases carried by ticks are a \u201csignificant problem\u201d in Massachusetts.\n\u201cThe CDC findings really aren\u2019t new,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019re all based on data that are imported from the different states, and, in Massachusetts, we\u2019ve recognized for a very long time that tick-borne diseases have been on the rise for decades now.\u201d\nEvery year Massachusetts can be expected to have a \u201cbad tick year,\u201d Brown said, given the large number of blacklegged ticks in the state and that a \u201csignificant percentage\u201d of the small arachnids are carrying disease.\nIt\u2019s estimated that about 87,000 people a year contract Lyme disease in the state from tick bites, according to The Boston Globe.\nThe species of tick that carries Lyme disease \u2014 the blacklegged tick (sometimes called the deer tick) \u2014 carries at least five different illnesses, according to Brown. Lyme is just the one with the greatest number of cases. The next two most common diseases carried by the blood-suckers are anaplasmosis and babesiosis.\nAs for the other diseases carried by mosquitoes and fleas that are mentioned by the CDC? She said illnesses from flea bites aren\u2019t a problem in Massachusetts, but the state does have to worry about two mosquito-borne diseases.\n\u201cWe have both West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis \u2014 or Triple E,\u201d Brown said. \u201cThose are two things we talk about with the public every summer. But if you want to talk about true burden of disease and you compare just flat out the number of cases that we have in Massachusetts, just individual patients that have a disease carried by a mosquito versus numbers of patients that have a disease carried by a tick, the ticks win, unfortunately.\u201d\nHu said that while Lyme might be the most prevalent in Massachusetts \u201cby far\u201d of the bite-transmitted diseases flagged by the CDC, he\u2019s most concerned about the illnesses that don\u2019t have treatment options, even if they\u2019re not common in the state.\n\u201cLuckily we have treatments for many of these diseases,\u201d he said. \u201cThe ones that are devastating \u2014 the ones we don\u2019t have treatments for here in Massachusetts are Eastern equine encephalitis, deer tick virus, which is a new one that is luckily still very rare in Massachusetts but it\u2019s increasing, and West Nile virus.\u201d\nThe symptoms residents should look for with tick-borne diseases\nBrown said the most common symptoms to watch for with Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and babesiosis are fever, chills, headaches, and muscle aches.\n\u201cReally all of the diseases carried by ticks start out the same way,\u201d she said.\nMore specific symptoms develop for each illness as they progress, but she said each of the diseases start with those four.\n\u201cIf you know that you have been bitten by a tick or you know you\u2019ve been spending time outdoors during the months of April through November/December and you develop a fever, headache, chills, muscle aches, it\u2019s a good idea to go ahead and contact your health care provider to talk to them about your potential risks,\u201d Brown said.\nWith Lyme disease you may also see a rash around the site of the bite.\n\u201cIt may or may not look like a classic bullseye,\u201d she said. \u201cBut that\u2019s really the only thing that can help differentiate Lyme disease from some of the other early stages of disease.\u201d\nBrown said that unless ticks are buried under snow \u2014 or the temperature is below freezing \u2014 the arachnids can be out and active, meaning the season for ticks in Massachusetts can last from April through November or December.\n\u201cOur peak tick season, when we see the largest number of our tick-borne-disease cases, really occurs in May through August,\u201d she said.\nBrown said residents in Massachusetts should not be be afraid to go outside over ticks and the illnesses they can transmit.\n\u201cWhat\u2019s appropriate is not fear, but awareness,\u201d she said. \u201cKnowing that ticks are in the environment but that there are also tools that people can use that will help people protect [themselves].\u201d\nThere\u2019s a \u201claundry list\u201d of actions people can take to protect themselves from tick bites, which includes wearing pants and long-sleeve shirts when doing yard work, Brown said.\nBut the two particular measures recommended by the public health official are using an insect repellent with an EPA-registered active ingredient like Deet and performing a daily tick check after taking a shower or bathing your child.\n\u201cThe reason for that is that way you can find any tick that has become attached, that you find it quickly and you can remove it promptly,\u201d she said. \u201cThe shorter the amount of time that the tick has been attached, the less likely it is to have spread disease.\u201d\nHu also recommended showering within a few hours anytime you think you\u2019ve been exposed to ticks.\n\u201cIf you shower within two hours of walking your dog or gardening, the ticks take a while to attach and bite, and, if you shower early, they just wash right off,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that\u2019s really easy to do. It\u2019s been shown in studies to prevent disease.\u201d\nHe also suggested buying clothing that is embedded with Permethrin repellent, which is both anti-tick and anti-mosquito.\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t work 100 percent, but, again, you don\u2019t have to think about it, it doesn\u2019t make you smelly,\u201d Hu said. \u201cIf you buy the commercially embedded clothing, it lasts for 80 washes or so, so something where you don\u2019t have to think about it.\u201d\nHow to check for ticks if they\u2019re as small as poppy seeds\nThe CDC recently shared a photo illustrating just how small ticks can be by placing the insects on a poppy seed muffin.\n\u201cCan you spot all 5 ticks in this photo?\u201d the federal agency asked.\nHu suggested the best way to check for ticks if you\u2019re concerned you won\u2019t be able to spot a poppy seed-sized blood-sucker is to run your fingers over your skin and feel for abnormal bumps.\n\u201cThey do tend to like to hide in the tight areas where either clothing is tight against or the skin folds to make a nice enclosed area for them,\u201d he said. \u201cSo that is where they tend to feed \u2014 like along the belt line and in the groin area, along the scalp and the ear for children. So as you\u2019re showering, just take a feel through to make sure you don\u2019t feel any unusual bumps.\u201d Brown agreed.\n\u201cYou\u2019re feeling for something very subtle, even as small as a poppy seed, but, if you feel that bump, then you know you should take a closer look at that and see if it\u2019s a tick,\u201d she said.\nTo learn more how to safely get rid of these annoying pests, contact EHS Pest.",

        "raw_content": "The unspoken life of information in organisations\nMany activities in organisations are driven by information. Chief among these is decision-making : when faced with a decision, those involved will seek information on the available choices and their (expected) consequences. Or so the theory goes.\nIn reality, information plays a role that does not quite square up with this view. For instance, decision makers may expend considerable time and effort in gathering information, only to ignore it when making their choices. In this case information plays a symbolic role, signifying competence of the decision-maker (the volume of information being a measure of competence) rather than being a means of facilitating a decision. In this post I discuss such common but unspoken uses of information in organisations, drawing on a paper by James March and Martha Feldman entitled Information in Organizations as Symbol and Signal.\nInformation perversity\nAs I have discussed in an earlier post, the standard view of decision-making is that choices are based on an analysis of their consequences and (the decision-maker\u2019s) preferences for those consequences. These consequences and preferences generally refer to events in the future and are therefore uncertain. The main role of information is to reduce this uncertainty. In such a rational paradigm, one would expect that information gathering and utilization are consistent with the process of decision making. Among other things this implies that:\nThe required information is gathered prior to the decision being made.\nAll relevant information is used in the decision-making process.\nAll available information is evaluated prior to requesting further information.\nInformation that is not relevant to a decision is not collected.\nIn reality, the above expectations are often violated. For example:\nInformation is gathered selectively after a decision has been made (only information that supports the decision is chosen).\nRelevant information is ignored.\nRequests for further information are made before all the information at hand is used.\nInformation that has no bearing on the decision is sought.\nOn the face of it, such behaviour is perverse \u2013 why on earth would someone take the trouble to gather information if they are not going to use it? As we\u2019ll see next, there are good reasons for such \u201cinformation perversity\u201d, some of which are obvious but others that are less so.\nReasons for information perversity\nThere are a couple of straightforward reasons why a significant portion of the information gathered by organisations is never used. These are:\nHumans have bounded cognitive capacities, so there is a limit to the amount of information they can process. Anything beyond this leads to information overload.\nInformation gathered is often unusable in that it is irrelevant to the decision that is to be made.\nAlthough these reasons are valid in many situations, March and Feldman assert that there are other less obvious but possibly more important reasons why information gathered is not used. I describe these in some detail below.\nOne of the reasons for the mountains of unused information in organisations is that certain groups of people (who may not even be users of information) have incentives to gather information regardless of its utility. March and Feldman describe a couple of scenarios in which this can happen:\nMismatched interests: In most organisations the people who use information are not the same as those who gather and distribute it. Typically, information users tend to be from business functions (finance, sales, marketing etc.) whereas gatherers/distributors are from IT. Users are after relevant information whereas IT is generally interested in volume rather than relevance. This can result in the collection of data that nobody is going to use.\n\u201cAfter the fact\u201d assessment of decisions: Decision makers know that many (most?) of their decisions will later turn out to be suboptimal. In other words, after-the-fact assessments of their decision may lead to the realisation that those decisions ought to have been made differently. In view of this, decision makers have good reason to try to anticipate as many different outcomes as they can, which leads to them gathering more information than can be used.\nInformation as measurement\nOften organisations collect information to measure performance or monitor their environments. For example, sales information is collected to check progress against targets and employees are required to log their working times to ensure that they are putting in the hours they are supposed to. Information collected in such a surveillance mode is not relevant to any decision except when corrective action is required. Most of the information collected for this purpose is never used even though it could well contain interesting insights\nInformation as a means to support hidden agendas\nPeople often use information to build arguments that support their favoured positions. In such cases it is inevitable that information will be misrepresented. Such strategic misrepresentation (aka lying!) can cause more information to be gathered than necessary. As March and Feldman state in the paper:\nStrategic misrepresentation also stimulates the oversupply of information. Competition among contending liars turns persuasion into a contest in (mostly unreliable) information. If most received information is confounded by unknown misrepresentations reflecting a complicated game played under conditions of conflicting interests, a decision maker would be curiously unwise to consider information as though it were innocent. The modest analyses of simplified versions of this problem suggest the difficulty of devising incentive schemes that yield unambiguously usable information\u2026\nAs a consequence, decision makers end up not believing information, especially if it is used or generated by parties that (in the decision-makers\u2019 view) may have hidden agendas.\nThe above points are true enough. However, March and Feldman suggest that there is a more subtle reason for information perversity in organisations.\nThe symbolic significance of information\nIn my earlier post on decision making in organisations I stated that:\n\u2026the official line about decision making being a rational process that is concerned with optimizing choices on the basis of consequences and preferences is not the whole story. Our decisions are influenced by a host of other factors, ranging from the rules that govern our work lives to our desires and fears, or even what happened at home yesterday. In short: the choices we make often depend on things we are only dimly aware of.\nOne of the central myths of modern organisations is that decision making is essentially a rational process. In reality, decision making is often a ritualised activity consisting of going through the motions of identifying choices, their consequences and our preferences for them. In such cases, information has a symbolic significance; it adds to the credibility of the decision. Moreover, the greater the volume of information, the greater the credibility (providing, of course, that the information is presented in an attractive format!). Such a process reaffirms the competence of those involved and reassures those in positions of authority that the right decision has been made, regardless of the validity or relevance of the information used.\nInformation is thus a symbol of rational decision making; it signals (or denotes) competence in decision making and that the decision made is valid.\nIn this article I have discussed the unspoken life of information in organisations \u2013 how it is used in ways that do not square up to a rational process of decision making. As March and Feldman put it:\nIndividuals and organizations invest in information and information systems, but their investments do not seem to make decision-theory sense. Organizational participants seem to find value in information that has no great decision relevance. They gather information and do not use it. They ask for reports and do not read them. They act first and receive requested information later.\nSome of the reasons for such \u201cinformation perversity\u201d are straightforward: they include, limited human cognitive ability, irrelevant information, misaligned incentives and even lying! But above all, organisations gather information because it symbolises proper decision making behaviour and provides assurance of the validity of decisions, regardless of whether or not decisions are actually made on a rational basis. To conclude: the official line about information spins a tale about its role in rational decision-making but the unspoken life of information in organisations tells another story.\nPosted in Decision Making, General Management, Knowledge Management, Organizations, Paper Review\nTagged with Information Management",

        "raw_content": "(Redirected from 1909 Plan of Chicago)\nFind sources: \"Burnham Plan of Chicago\" \u2013 news \u00b7 newspapers \u00b7 books \u00b7 scholar \u00b7 JSTOR (March 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)\nThe Burnham Plan is a popular name for the 1909 Plan of Chicago, co-authored by Daniel Burnham and Edward H. Bennett. It recommended an integrated series of projects including new and widened streets, parks, new railroad and harbor facilities, and civic buildings. Though only portions of the plan were realized, the document reshaped Chicago's central area and was an important influence on the new field of city planning.\nTitle page of 1st edition\nEdward H Bennett\n1909 (Commercial Club of Chicago)\nThe project was begun in 1906 by the Merchants Club, which merged with the Commercial Club of Chicago, a group of prominent businessmen who recognized the necessity of improvements to the fast-growing city. They retained Daniel H. Burnham, an architect who had managed the construction of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. After the fair, he had presented ideas for improving Chicago's lakefront, and had worked on city plans for Washington, D.C., Cleveland, San Francisco, and Manila and Baguio in the Philippines. Burnham retained Edward Bennett as co-author, and a small staff to help prepare the plan. Charles Moore edited the finished manuscript, and renderer Jules Gu\u00e9rin created several birds-eye views for the full-color document, which was printed in lavish book form and presented to the city in July 1909.\nAspects of the planEdit\nPlan of central Chicago\nView, looking west, of the proposed Civic Center\nThe Burnham Plan focused on 6 major elements:\nImprovement of the lakefrontEdit\nForemost among the plan's goals was reclaiming the lakefront for the public. \"The Lakefront by right belongs to the people,\" wrote Burnham. \"Not a foot of its shores should be appropriated to the exclusion of the people.\" The plan recommended expanding the parks along the Lake Michigan shoreline with landfill, which was done in the early 20th century. Of the city's 29 miles (47 km) of lakefront, all but four miles (six kilometres) are today public parkland. The plan also provided for extensive lakefront harbour facilities, which became unnecessary with the city's development of facilities in the Lake Calumet regions.\nA regional highway systemEdit\nThe plan considered Chicago as the centre of a region extending 75 miles (120 km) from the city centre. At the dawn of the automobile age, the plan diagrammed both radial and circumferential highways for the region. However, the agencies who built and improved highways in the 1910s and 1920s do not appear to have been guided to build along the specific routes recommended in the plan.\nImprovement of railway terminalsEdit\nThe plan drew on technical studies previously done by others, including a plan for competing railroads to pool usage of tracks for greater efficiency in freight handling. In addition, the plan detailed the consolidation of Chicago's six intercity railroad passenger terminals into new complexes west of the Loop and south of Roosevelt Road. This, in turn, would allow the expansion of the business district southward. A new Chicago Union Station was finished in 1925, but no other stations were consolidated or relocated. In 1929, the South Branch of the Chicago River was rechanneled, between Polk and 18th Streets, to untangle railroad approaches as recommended by the plan.\nNew outer parksEdit\nThe movement to purchase and preserve the natural areas that became the Cook County Forest Preserves was well under way as the plan was being written. The plan includes those proposals and also calls for the expansion of the city's park and boulevard system, which had been first established in the 1870s.\nSystematic arrangement of streetsEdit\nNew wider arterials were prescribed to relieve traffic congestion and beautify the fast growing city, including a network of new diagonal streets. One of these diagonals was constructed: the extension of Ogden Avenue and there are several other diagonal streets throughout the city. Many of the plan's street recommendations were followed. The city renovated, widened, and extended Michigan Avenue, widened Roosevelt Road, and created Wacker Drive and Congress Parkway. With the growth in automobile usage after World War I, Chicago planners began to drastically alter or step away from Burnham's proposals for the street system.[1] Some 108 miles (174 km) of arterial streets were widened between 1915 and 1931, spurred by the tremendous growth in automobile usage. Writing in 1908, Burnham saw the automobile as a recreational vehicle that would allow city dwellers to visit the countryside; he did not foresee how it would overwhelm and transform the city itself.\nCivic and cultural centersEdit\nThe most iconic image of the plan was the new civic center proposed for the area around Congress and Halsted Streets. However, city officials who preferred the convenience of a Loop location never seriously pursued the proposal. At the east end of Congress Street, which would become the central axis of the reshaped city, Burnham proposed a cultural center in Grant Park consisting of the new Field Museum of Natural History and new homes for the Art Institute of Chicago and the Crerar Library. This proposal, however, placed Burnham and other civic leaders in conflict with a state supreme court decision forbidding any new buildings in Grant Park.\nAlthough Burnham died in 1912, the Plan of Chicago was promoted by Commercial Club members and the Chicago Plan Commission. They persuaded the mayor of Chicago to appoint co-author Edward H. Bennett, a graduate of the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts, and he advised various public agencies as they constructed the projects recommended by the plan, using a design vocabulary reminiscent of 19th century Paris. Mayor William Hale Thompson, elected in 1915, used Plan of Chicago projects to promote his image as a Chicago booster, and as a rich source of public contracts.\nThe plan has been criticized for its focus on physical improvements, an attempt to create \"Paris on the Prairie.\" Burnham's handwritten draft of the plan contained extensive discussion of social needs, but the final publication does not.[2] The plan's list of big infrastructure improvements were badly needed by a rapidly growing city, at a time when an expanding tax base made it possible to undertake large projects.\nEnthusiasm for the Burnham Plan's specific proposals faded with the onset of the Great Depression, but aspects of the plan continued to guide planners as they expanded parks, built new bridges, and laid out the city's superhighway network. Civic leaders still make frequent reference to Burnham's vision for the city, and to an aphorism posthumously attributed to him, the oft-quoted exhortation to \"make no little plans.\"\nPlan of a park\nDiagram of a system of freight handling\nSuggested docks at the mouth of the Chicago River\nSuggested location and arrangement of railway passenger stations\nTheoretical diagram of street circulation\nIntersection of the three branches of the Chicago River\nRoads and expressways in Chicago\n^ Wide Boulevards, Narrow Visions: Burnham's Street System and the Chicago Plan Commission, 1909\u20131930.

        "raw_content": "How Industrial Light and Magic Works\nPlanning the Film\nOne frame of an animatic. An animatic like this one helps the director and the team understand the dynamics and the look of each shot from many different angles.\nPhoto courtesy of ILM\nUpon reaching an agreement with Petersen, ILM named a visual effects supervisor, Stefen Fangmeier, to oversee the project. Fangmeier assembled a crew of 120 ILM staffers to develop the 340 visual effects shots needed for \"The Perfect Storm.\" Ninety of the shots in the movie are completely computer-generated (including virtual actors), and another 220 have CG water or other elements. In fact, only two of the stormy ocean shots in the entire film are completely real!\nThe film is carefully planned out, shot by shot, to match the overall vision that the director has for the film. ILM is involved even at this early stage, preparing a rough 3D animated storyboard known as an animatic. Animatics allow the director to ensure that the planned shot will work, both visually and practically.\nHere is a good example of how the animatic can change the development of a shot. Many of the close-up shots of the boats occurred in a mammoth indoor wave pool, about a quarter of an acre (1,000 square meters) in size! Full-size boats would be controlled by giant gimbals in the pool during the shot. The camera needed to move quite a bit to simulate the rolling movement of another ship in order to match up with the virtual camera viewpoint used in the visual effects. The originally planned position of the camera did not work when simulated -- the camera's motion would have taken it through a wall! By tweaking items like this in the storyboarding phase, directors are able to avoid many potential pitfalls that could lengthen the filming process and exceed the projected budget.",

        "raw_content": "Botanical Bliss: Garden Tours in Portugal\nIf you\u2019re keen on botanical expeditions then Portugal is for you. As spring gives way to the gentle Portuguese summer, garden tours in Portugal are one of the loveliest ways to get to know this country. From May onwards, garden-related events take place in several points of Portugal. Starting in the northern region of Minho, where the famous International Garden Festival of Ponte de Lima takes place, and setting out to discover the rebirth of Portuguese botanical treasures, in and around Lisbon.\nPonte de Lima International Garden Festival\nEvery year, from the last Friday of May to the end of October, the charismatic town blooms with floral creativity, welcoming the creations of hundreds of landscape and garden artists. The International Garden Festival of Ponte de Lima won the International Garden Festival of the Year 2013 Award at the Garden Tourism Awards \u2013 2013 North American Garden Tourism Conference \u2013 in Toronto \u2013 Canada.\nFacing the beautiful Roman-gothic bridge, on the right bank of the river Lima, this festival is a delight for garden enthusiasts, with around 2,5 ha of beautiful gardens set among the existing fruit plants, clinging plants and vines. In fact, Ponte de Lima is one of the most floral towns in Portugal. Don\u2019t miss the chance to visit unique, eccentric private gardens in the surrounding area, by planning your tailor-made garden tour in Portugal with Episode Travel.\nGarden Tours in Portugal: The Scent of a Journey\nA mix of eccentricity and heritage, romanticism and exoticness, gardens in Portugal are never predictable. Classic or modern, garden tours in Portugal are an invitation to long walks, contemplation and relaxation. In the mainland or the islands, gardens in Portugal are recognized internationally for their beauty and originality as many of them feature rare botanical species. While historic gardens from are a major attraction, contemporary gardens, such as Serralves, in Porto, and Gulbenkian, in Lisbon, are unmissable landscape gems.\nKeeping heritage alive: Garden Tours in Portugal\nDesigned in the 18th century, the Botanical Garden of the Queluz National Palace, near Sintra, is one of the jewels of Portuguese landscape art. The Palace, known as the Portuguese Versailles, used to be the summer residence of the Royal Family and its gardens are considered one of the most interesting European gardens.\nThe garden\u2019s composition and layout were lost after a flooding in the 1980\u2019s. Fortunately, the gardens have been restored in full respect for their original composition and recreational character. In recognition of this major intervention, the Botanical Garden of Queluz was honored with the prestigious Europa Nostra Award, EU\u2019s most important prize for Cultural Heritage. The laureates from 17 countries have been recognised for their impressive accomplishments in conservation, research, dedicated service, and education, training and awareness-raising.\nSantar Garden Village: a Garden Constellation in the Center of Portugal\nLaunched in 2016, the Santar Garden Village project will soon attract more visitors to the lovely village of Santar, in the center of Portugal. Located near Viseu, in the wine region of D\u00e3o, Santar is a small village of 1000 inhabitants, known for its beautiful manor houses and centuries-old palaces.\nThe project, led by architect Fernando Caruncho involves the requalification of 9 historic gardens \u2013 Casa de Santar, Linhares, Magn\u00f3lia, Pa\u00e7o dos Cunhas, Dom Miguel de Bragan\u00e7a and Ib\u00e9rico Nogueira, among others \u2013 which will be restored and united under a single landscape plan. In addition to this, Santar Garden Village will include an interpretative center which will allow visitors to know more about this splendid garden cluster and the extraordinary architectural heritage of the site. Yet another way of discovering Portugal\u2019s wonderful gardens in a program that will soon be included in Episode Travel\u2019s bespoke garden tours in Portugal.",

How good it was to stop doing, struggling, thinking, to leave it all for a time to nature, to become her thing, her concern, the work of her merciful, wonderful, beauty-lavishing hands.\nTime is giving me the chance to feel hurt without hate. If only the process didn\u2019t make the indivisible moments so overwhelmingly painful. The idea of being normal seems like a modest goal, now that an act as simple as washing the dishes becomes a burden I can\u2019t bear. It\u2019s the reason I don\u2019t trust myself behind the wheel of a car, the reason song and film do nothing to help me retreat.\nAs a result, our lives have been reduced to the simplest means of survival. I play my games like a full-time job, slowly processing things I\u2019ve kept in the back of my head as a means of staying safe from myself. We eat, we sleep, we start over again. My responsibility is to myself now, and it\u2019s a good day if I can get one productive thing done, from a simple shower to a step outside. And if even that proves too much, I\u2019m learning to be okay with that too, as time is measured across experiences and lives, not by the moments in which we stumble and fall.\nWhen she sees me trying to shake the thoughts loose, looking for support on cold tile, I\u2019m told to take as much time as I need to get better, and reminded she won\u2019t leave if I never do. I don\u2019t have to hide my feelings or moods, cause she doesn\u2019t judge me for the depth of my sadness, nor hold my anger against me. Every day she grows more tender than the last, even as I fall and break apart, and I\u2019m learning to understand how, when I have such a hard time accepting the shade of a person I am right now. It\u2019s such boundless affection that finally makes me feel loved because of who I am, and not what I do or offer or represent.\nAfter so many years living at arms-length with everyone around me, it\u2019s a feeling that\u2019s impossible for me to take for granted. I can\u2019t help but internalize every way her grace brings me joy. Every time she thanks me for letting her take care of my needs and wants.\nAnd with this foundation, I learn how to be a person again, as I try to write my way out of this hole.\n#depression #Heather #love #relationships",

I view medicine as a humbling profession where every day a different aspect is brought to light by every human being. As a diagnostic radiologist and vascular and interventional radiologist, I have the privilege to work with other Kaiser Permanente physicians to consult on diagnosis and treatment strategies.

I was inspired to become a physician during college and studied biomedical science and computer science at UC Riverside\u2019s Thomas Haider Program of Biomedical Science before heading to UCLA for medical school and business school. Subsequent training on the West Coast and East Coast allowed me to gain practical experience from diverse groups of physicians, groups of patients, and clinical settings including level 1 trauma centers in Philadelphia and Los Angeles and county/private settings, as well as Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center, where 3 months of training helped me decide to join the organization. I credit my physician teachers for what I do professionally today, and I look forward to sharing that in your care.\nDiagnosis and minimally invasive procedures with imaging guidance are my core value, for nearly every organ system in the body. I offer consultation in cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hematologic, urologic, gynecologic, musculoskeletal, endocrine, lymphatic, oncologic, and surgical specialties.\nBalancing personal and career development is an ongoing endeavor. I stay well by my commitment to my health and members\u2019 health and well-being. I strive to stay current with the latest on treatments and procedures within vascular and interventional radiology as well as interventional oncology to ensure I provide the care our members deserve.

        "raw_content": "Plant communities in Holy Land can cope with climate change of 'biblical' dimensions\nMiddle Eastern vegetation demonstrates high resilience to climate change\nAn international research team comprised of German, Israeli and American ecologists, including Dr. Claus Holzapfel, Dept. of Biological Sciences, Rutgers University-Newark, has conducted unique long-term experiments in Israel to test predictions of climate change, and has concluded that plant communities in the Holy Land can cope with climate change of \"biblical\" dimensions. Their findings appear in the current issue of Nature Communications at http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/141006/ncomms6102/pdf/ncomms6102.pdf.\nWhen taking global climate change into account, many scientists predict dire ecological consequences around the world. The Middle East in particular has been thought to be vulnerable, since east Mediterranean ecosystems not only are hotspots of biodiversity, but also contain many of the wild ancestors of important crop plants and therefore harbor a rich genetic reservoir for them.\nIn a region with the lowest per-capita water availability, rainfall is predicted to decrease further in the near future, and could spell extreme hardship for the function of these unique ecosystems and possibly endanger the survival of important genetic resources.\nFor nine years the research team of German, Israeli and American ecologists subjected extremely species-rich plant communities to experimental drought designed to correspond to predicted future climate scenarios. For this, the study used four different ecosystems aligned along a steep, natural aridity gradient that ranges from extreme desert (3-4\"annual rainfall) to moist Mediterranean woodland (32\").\nThe recently published study demonstrates that in contrast to predicted changes, no measurable changes were seen in the vegetation even after nine years of rainfall manipulations. None of the crucial vegetation characteristics, neither species richness and composition, nor density or biomass - a particularly important trait for these ecosystems traditionally used as rangelands - changed appreciably in the rainfall manipulations.\nThese conclusions were reached regardless of whether the sites were subjected to more or less rain.\n\"Based on our study, the going hypothesis that all arid regions will react strongly to climate change needs to be amended,\" stated Dr. Katja Tielb\u00f6rger (University of T\u00fcbingen in Germany), the lead author of the study.\nOne of the reasons for the high resilience of the ecosystems studied is likely the high natural variability in rainfall for which the region has been known throughout history. The climate scenarios tested included a decrease of rainfall to about 30% of the current values. That amount of rainfall seems to fall within the natural \"comfort zone\" of wild-growing plants. Archeological sources (and similar descriptions in the Bible) speak of such dramatic variation in climate over the course of centuries.\nThe team of scientists implemented a novel experimental approach in which irrigation and rain-out shelters were used not only to compare plots with changed climate within a site with un-manipulated controls, but the placing of sites along the steep aridity gradient also allowed testing the long-standing assumption that with climate change, species will track their climate zone and their ranges will simply shift.\nSuch shifts, commonly assumed by numerous climate-envelope models, have now for the first time been scientifically tested and have not been confirmed.\n\"Our experiment is likely the most extensive climate change study ever done, because of the number of sites involved, the long duration of experimental manipulations, and the immense species richness\", stated Dr. Claus Holzapfel of Rutgers University-Newark, adding: \"These facts add to the robustness of our results.\"\nThe study serves to decrease the \"doomsday\" scenario of climate change for the arid Middle East, despite the fact that the conclusions reached by the research team are only applicable to the specific regions studied. The authors of the study caution that these results should not be used to address global issues of climate change. However, the researchers maintain that their results are important for understanding and countering specific consequences of climate change in the Middle East.\nDr. Holzapfel can be reached at holzapfe@andromeda.rutgers.edu or 973-353-5385.\nKatja Tielb\u00f6rger, Mark.

        "raw_content": "Excellence Reporter: Dr. Teitelbaum, what is the meaning of life?\nJacob Teitelbaum: As Eleanor Roosevelt put it so simply \u201cThe purpose of life \u2013 is to live it!\u201d\nImho, the purpose of life is to explore, experience and become who we are. We do not do this by following other people\u2019s instructions. That is for them to do. As others have said, there is no need to lead somebody else\u2019s life \u2013 something else is already doing that. Meanwhile, the only meaning that life really has is the one we choose to give it.\nSo we really do get to write the script for and produce the movie of our own lives. In fact, I never met anybody who wasn\u2019t the star of their own life\u2019s movie.\nSo how do we decide on what to do and how to interpret life\u2019s experiences? I find that the road to authenticity is guided best by my feelings. My thoughts are simply the product of my beliefs and what I have been taught. Most of this is based on information given in the mass media and my schooling. And much of this, sadly, has turned out to be nonsense.\nAsking your brain what you should be doing is like asking the GPS in your car where you want to go. It really doesn\u2019t know. Our feelings, however, do know what is authentic to us. Once our feelings have guided us, our mind then becomes an excellent tool to help us get there.\nI find that ideas, thoughts, actions, and choices that feel good tend to be authentic, and simply doing what feels good has worked out very well for me. It has, not surprisingly, happily taken me down the road less traveled by.\nTwo caveats, however. Don\u2019t hurt anybody else, and ask how the choices are working out for you. For example, heroin may feel good. For a little while. But then it doesn\u2019t work very well, and soon leave you feeling badly. But these are rare exceptions.\nSo what if it truly is okay to do what feels good? As a physician, most of our puritanical advice to avoid pleasure, including things such as eggs, salt, sunshine, chocolate, and butter, have turned out to be nonsense. These things have turned out to be healthy. Running my own foundation, I have found that helping others feels especially good.\nSo at the end of the day, it truly is okay to be selfish. Perhaps a better term for this would be called being \u201cpersonally responsible.\u201d I find it ironic that people who use the term selfish are simply selfishly trying to get others to do what it is that they want.\nSo the bottom line? As the cultural anthropologist Joseph Campbell eloquently said when asked to summarize everything he learned in sentence, \u201cFollow your bliss!\u201d\n~Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., Director of the Practitioners Alliance Network, is one of the most frequently quoted integrative medical authorities in the world.

        "raw_content": "Functional Wellness, Part 4: Real Healthcare Reform\nEveryone\u2019s talking about universal coverage, single-payer plans, and other well-intended solutions to America\u2019s healthcare access dilemma, but we\u2019re missing the real question: What\u2019s the point of giving more people access to a system that is likely to make them sicker?\nBy Mark Hyman, MD | October 2008\nEditors\u2019 note: For more than 15 years, celebrated author and pioneering medical visionary Mark Hyman, MD, has been practicing and promoting a revolutionary healthcare concept known as functional medicine. It\u2019s a patient-centered (vs. disease-centered) approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic health challenges as opposed to merely treating symptoms. Functional medicine also emphasizes incorporating nutrition and lifestyle solutions rather than relying exclusively on pharmaceutical and surgical interventions. Experience Life is proud to bring you this six-part series in which Dr. Hyman describes the emerging practice of functional medicine and explains how it can improve your well-being.\nIt\u2019s October, the presidential election is upon us, and we\u2019ve all experienced a campaign season filled with politicians of all stripes debating access to healthcare. The problem? With all the debate over healthcare access, the real issue \u2014 the quality and effectiveness of that healthcare \u2014 has gone unaddressed.\nI felt the same frustration when I watched Michael Moore\u2019s documentary Sicko (2007). Don\u2019t get me wrong. I applaud Moore for provoking more debate on healthcare, and I\u2019m all for more access to healthcare and lower costs. But I don\u2019t support giving more people access to a broken healthcare system that creates more problems than it solves.\nConsider this: Our \u201csick\u201d healthcare system itself is responsible for more than 700,000 deaths each year from medical errors, hospital infections, bed sores, surgical errors and drug reactions \u2014 that\u2019s more than the number of victims claimed by heart disease or cancer. Plus, flaws in the system cost several billions of dollars annually. As a doctor, this is not the type of care to which I\u2019d like to see more people exposed.\nMoore\u2019s answer to all our healthcare woes is to have a single-payer system, like Canada\u2019s. Universal coverage may be part of the solution (or not), but if we improve a broken system just by reorganizing how it is funded, we still have a broken system.\nThe type of symptom-based, disease-oriented medicine we are practicing is antiquated, often dangerous, and it\u2019s based on the wrong premises and outdated approaches. Instead, it must be founded on the laws of biology that help us address the true causes of disease, not just find better drugs or procedures to deal with them once they occur. Giving more people access to the wrong treatments does not help us in the long term to create a sustainable model of health for society.\nWhat\u2019s missing in the healthcare debate is a direct discussion and analysis of the lack of quality in our healthcare system. And quality is defined as the health of our population, which is clearly worse than almost every developed nation and worse than many third-world countries: Americans rank 45th in life expectancy, worse than Bosnia and just ahead of Albania! And yet our nation\u2019s total annual healthcare bill is 40 percent higher than that of any other country, some $2.3 trillion a year (one-third of which goes to administration costs). That\u2019s more than $7,500 per person. And what do we get for all that money? A system that mostly ignores the patient\u2019s health.\nThe American healthcare system has been a subject of great interest to me as I have moved through various roles in my life \u2014 from family physician and emergency-room doctor, to chronically ill patient, to systems and functional medicine practitioner, to researcher, to clinic owner, to consumer educator.\nThere is no question in my mind that the inherent problems in our healthcare system \u2014 which profits from reducing access to care, denying care, avoiding preventive care or shifting costs to employers \u2014 are in desperate need of transformation. When a company like Starbucks pays more for its employees\u2019 healthcare than it does for coffee beans, then we know we are in trouble.\nIndeed, the entire ecosystem of business and products and services related to the health of our population operates on the basis of a flawed model: The healthcare industry and the food industry profit from us being sick and fat \u2014 not healthy and vital.\nCurrently, all the incentives are backward. As Marion Nestle, PhD, MPH, professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University put it in a 2003 editorial in Science magazine, \u201cIt is difficult to think of any major industry that might benefit if people ate less food; certainly not the agriculture, food product, grocery, restaurant, diet or drug industries. All flourish when people eat more, and all employ armies of lobbyists to discourage governments from doing anything to inhibit overeating.\u201d\nClearly, something needs to change. Until it is profitable for everyone to help create health rather than disease, we will not thrive as a society. So we need to find a way to line up all the incentives for everyone involved in healthcare, including:\nThe insurers\nThe government (which actually pays 60 percent of all healthcare bills through Medicaid, Medicare, the Veteran\u2019s Administration, tax deductions and other incentives)\nThe hospital industry\nThe food industry (which should profit more from selling products that support health than from selling foods that destroy health)\nThe doctors (who should be paid more for creating health than for doing procedures)\nWe have to change the competing needs in the healthcare industry and related industries. Promoting and treating sickness should not generate more profit. Creating health should.\nSo how can we, as a society, line up all the needs and interests of all stakeholders in our \u201csick\u201d healthcare system? If we follow the trail through our healthcare forest, it becomes clear that if there is to be meaningful change, an alignment of values, needs and interests must occur. It also becomes clear that no one component can be separated from any other \u2014 that, like a forest, the system producing our current state of health must be regarded as an integrated and self-perpetuating network.\nLet\u2019s follow the trail of a simple soda and French fries, for example:\nThe government pays farmers $30 billion a year in subsidies to grow corn and soy crops, which the fast- and junk-food industries use to make high-fructose corn syrup and trans fatty acids, the primary ingredients in energy-dense, poor-quality, disease-creating foods such as soda and French fries. (For more on our problematic food industry, see \u201cProgressive Eaters, Unite!\u201d)\nMeanwhile, funds for local schools are limited so they cannot provide students with quality food choices and physical education programs.\nThen the food industry steps in, encouraging children to choose nutrient-poor, energy-dense foods from school lunch lines and vending machines.\nCompanies spend more than $30 billion a year marketing these products (more than $13 billion of which is aimed at children), increasing demand.\nThese are tax-deductible expenses to corporations \u2014 in effect, further subsidies by our government.\nThese children then become obese and diabetic in their 20s and require care for heart disease and amputations before they are 30. And, if the patient can\u2019t afford that medical care, the government ends up picking up the tab through Medicaid or through tax write-offs for hospitals providing charity care.\nSo what is the answer? Clearly, it\u2019s a complex one, because the politics of food, agriculture, environment and education cannot be divorced from the traditional healthcare stakeholders: patients, providers, insurers, employers, payers and government. Ultimately, we have to address the roots of the problems and create a system in which everyone involved thrives. That means rethinking the true costs and true profits of this system at every level.\nHonest Reckoning\nThe real underlying problem to be solved is this: How do we shift our scientific approach to illness from reductionism (treating symptoms and diseases) to systems biology (treating causes and creating health)? And how do we change the way we deliver that care?\nWe have to think beyond just the patient in the exam room and his or her doctor simply dispensing prescriptions for diseases and symptoms. We have to consider all the potential health influences that may have brought that patient to that exam room in the first place.\nJust as we ask, \u201cWhat is the real cost to society of cigarette smoking?\u201d we should be asking: What are the real, long-term costs of a nation of overfed and undernourished citizens \u2014 citizens broadly encouraged to consume goods and services that have been clearly shown to create disease and increase all kinds of public costs?\nWe should also be asking: How can we change the fact that it is relatively hard to find health-promoting foods, activities, products and services in this country? What is the true cost in lost dollars, productivity, health and well-being from a large serving of trans-fat-soaked French fries or a 48-ounce soda consumed three times a week for a decade or more? What is the cost of cities and communities designed around cars rather than human beings? What is the impact on our bodies of decreased fitness and progressive muscle loss that results from our car- and computer-addicted population and that is linked to every known degenerative disease?\nThat\u2019s a lot of questions, and there is no one simple answer \u2014 no magic pill to cure our diseased healthcare ecosystem. But there are some clear opportunities we must grasp \u2014 opportunities to change our thinking, our public policies and our daily habits in directions we\u2019ll all find more rewarding in the long run.\nSo what are we to do? For starters\u2026\nWe have to adopt new ways of looking at chronic disease, and new ways of thinking about how all the problems and symptoms a patient has might be connected.\nWe need to think of helping people within a whole ecosystem of healthcare, not just the one-on-one, eight-minute office visit.\nWe need to use healthcare teams and group education on lifestyle, nutrition, exercise and stress reduction to help people deal with the causes of their problems.\nWe need to change research by allocating funding for what might work best, not what might make a company the most money. We currently embrace the latest drug or procedure without really looking at how it compares with the old drugs or an integrated lifestyle solution.\nWe need to rethink the use of placebos (fake pills) as the comparison group for new treatments. Instead, we should see how treatments compare with complete lifestyle and systems approaches, including diet, exercise, stress reduction and cognitive therapies. When drugs have been compared with these approaches, the drugs usually do worse!\nThe main question we face today is this: How can we find a way to reinvent healthcare practices to accommodate the changes in science, the advance of information technology, and the shift toward patient-directed and patient-centered healthcare?\nThese are the real questions and issues we need to be making the basis of our healthcare debate. Because in a desperately outdated, flawed, expensive and misaligned healthcare system, these are the concerns essential to our collective survival and renewal.\nIt\u2019s time for us to move from ordinary to extraordinary thinking about both health and healthcare. A better healthcare reality is eminently possible, but if we want to stem the impending tsunami of ill health and economic burden facing us, we all have to work together, and we have to demand \u2014 and create \u2014 something different.\nReal healthcare reform requires a fundamental change in our worldview about health \u2014 a view that helps us understand the core causes of illness, that empowers us to transform and safeguard our own health, and that transforms our \u201csick care\u201d system to a true healthcare system. But it all starts with our willingness to make small changes in the way we live, and in the way we think about our health. We all need to look carefully at how our current thinking leads us either toward or away from our common unspoken goal: to create a sustainable healthcare system and society so that our children and their children can thrive.\nThe 7 Keys to UltraWellness\nSimply put, when your core systems are out of balance, they make fertile ground for the roots of illness. When they are in balance, they become the keys to creating wellness and vitality:\nEnvironmental Inputs (diet, lifestyle, toxins, stress and trauma)\nInflammation and Immune Balance (the hidden fire within)\nHormone and Neurotransmitter Balance (insulin, thyroid, adrenal balance; sex hormones and mood chemicals)\nGut and Digestive Health (digestion, absorption, assimilation, intestinal ecosystem and the gut-immune system)\nDetoxification Imbalances and Function (getting rid of wastes and dealing with toxins)\nCreating Energy (the source of life energy and metabolism \u2014 antioxidant balance)\nMind-Body/Body-Mind Connection (change your mind, change your body; change your body, change your mind)\nMy favorite part of Michael Moore\u2019s documentary Sicko was when a British doctor described how he was paid more to help people lose weight, stop smoking, improve their blood sugar and lower their cholesterol. If an American doctor does that, he or she loses money. The American doctor earns thousands of dollars for doing angioplasties and stent procedures and maybe $30 for talking to someone about his or her cholesterol; British doctors actually get a bonus for keeping people healthy!\nOf all the problems with our healthcare system, one of the most glaring is the fact that the payment system is based on procedures and on diagnoses. Indeed, if you created a model of healthcare that addressed the underlying causes of illness and focused on prevention, a lot of the healthcare structure would collapse.\nTake the New York City hospital that had to shut down its diabetes prevention program because it was so successful helping patients improve their health, it actually reduced amputations and other serious complications of diabetes. But the hospital was losing money because it was being reimbursed from insurance only for nutrition consults ($60) instead of toe amputations ($6,000).\nThough doctors are generally well-meaning people, the healthcare system encourages them to do more procedures and provide more invasive care by paying them more for those procedures \u2014 even if it ultimately does not benefit the patient. That\u2019s because the healthcare system almost never addresses the real value of the care patients are receiving. If I can spend an hour and a half with a patient and show him how to change his diet and lifestyle in such a way that he can begin living a healthier life, I might get paid only $500, but the actual value of the treatment could be much higher if it leads to a life free of disease, disability and loss of productivity.\nMark Hyman, MD Mark Hyman, MD, is the medical director and founder of The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, Mass., and the former medical director at Canyon Ranch health resort.

        "raw_content": "Obama's Anti-Christian Refugee Policy: Yes to Muslim Terrorists, No to Christian Genocide Victims\nObama continues his quest to go down in history as the man who repealed the Edict of Milan. The \"anti-Constantine\" expands his pro-Muslim, anti-Christian bias.\nObama\u2019s Refugee Policy: Yes to Potential Terrorists, No to Genocide Victims\nJune 6, 2016 by Raymond Ibrahim\nOriginally published by the Gatestone Institute\nThe Obama administration has been escalating a policy that both abandons Mideast Christians and exposes Americans to the jihad. Late last year it was revealed that 97% of Syrian refugees accepted into the U.S. were Sunni Muslims\u2014the same Islamic sect to which the Islamic State belongs\u2014while fewer than half-a-percent were Christians.\nThis disparity has since gotten worse. From May 1 to May 23, 499 Syrian refugees\u2014a number that exceeds the total number of refugees admitted during the last three years\u2014were received into the U.S. Zero Christians were among them; 99 percent were Sunni (the remaining one percent was simply listed as \u201cMuslim\u201d).\nThese numbers are troubling:\nFirst, from a strictly humanitarian point of view\u2014and humanitarianism is the chief reason being cited in accepting refugees\u2014Christians should receive priority simply because currently they are among the most persecuted groups in the Middle East. Along with the Yazidis, Christians are experiencing genocide at the hands of ISIS, as the State Department recently determined. The Islamic State has repeatedly forced Christians to renounce Christ or die; has enslaved and raped them, and desecrated or destroyed more than 400 of their churches.\nAs Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) put it this March, \u201cWithout doubt, Syrians of all confessions are being victimized by this savage war and are facing unimaginable suffering. But only Christians and other religious minorities are the deliberate targets of systematic persecution and genocide.\u201d\nSunni Muslims are not being slaughtered, beheaded, and raped for refusing to renounce their faith since it is identical to ISIS\u2019. They are not having their mosques burned, nor are they being jailed and killed for apostasy, blasphemy, or proselytization. On the contrary, non-ISIS affiliated Sunnis are responsible for committing dozens of such atrocities against Christian minorities every single month all throughout the Islamic world.[1]\nUnsurprisingly, many Sunnis entering America and Europe\u2014including the terrorists who killed 120 people in Paris, 32 people in Brussels, and 12 in California\u2014share the same Sunni-sanctioned hate for and opposition to non-Muslim \u201cinfidels.\u201d Director of National Intelligence James Clapper admits that ISIS is \u201ctaking advantage of the torrent of migrants to insert operatives into that flow.\u201d\nEven if one were to operate under the assumption that refugee status must be made available to all Syrians, regardless of religion, the simple demographics of Syria expose the pro-Sunni, anti-Christian bias of the current Obama refugee policy: Christians account for 10% of Syria\u2019s total population\u2014yet they account for less than .5% of the refugees. Sunni Muslims are 74% of Syria\u2019s population\u2014yet 99% of those received into America. In other words, there should be 20 times more Christians and about one-quarter fewer Sunnis granted refugee status than there already have been.\nFinally, the excuse given by those who defend this disparity does not pass the smell test. According to the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR, Christian and other minorities \u201cfear that registration might bring retribution from other refugees.\u201d So supposedly they do not register and are left out of the process. Indeed, as ongoing reports reveal, the majority of those at refugee camps\u2014Sunnis\u2014are persecuting the Christians in their midst, sometimes killing them. During one Mediterranean crossing from Libya to Sicily, Muslim \u201crefugees\u201d shouted \u201cAllahu Akbar!\u201d as they hurled as many as 53 Christians overboard.\nAlthough the U.N and U.S. know that Sunni refugees are terrorizing Christians in their camps, they abandon the true victims who deserve sanctuary in the West, while \u201chumanitarianly\u201d taking in their persecutors.\nThe Catholic Church and several mainline Protestant denominations are equally guilty. Most recently, \u201cChristian refugees [were] \u2018let down\u2019 by Pope [Francis]: he promised to take them to Italy but then took only Muslims instead.\u201d\nSuch hypocrisy has been on open display since the question of refugees was first raised in America. Months ago, Barrack Obama\u2014who was raised a Sunni Muslim\u2014described the proposal that preference should be given to Christian minorities as \u201cshameful\u201d: \u201cThat\u2019s not American. That\u2019s not who we are. We don\u2019t have religious tests to our compassion,\u201d loftily added the American president.\nToday, however, it is clear from the statistics alone that there is a very clear bias[2] in the refugee program: it favors those most prone to committing acts of terror in America while ignoring those experiencing genocide. It is the Obama administration\u2019s own refugee policies that are \u201cshameful,\u201d \u201cnot American,\u201d and do not represent \u201cwho we are.\u201d\n[1] Even before ISIS\u2019 new \u201ccaliphate\u201d was established, Christians were and continue to be targeted by Muslims\u2014Muslim mobs, Muslim individuals, Muslim regimes, and Muslim terrorists, from Muslim countries of all races (Arab, African, Asian, etc.)\u2014and for the same reason: Christians are infidel number one. See Crucified Again: Exposing Islam\u2019s New War on Christians for hundreds of anecdotes before the rise of ISIS as well as the Muslim doctrines that create such hate and contempt for Christians who are especially deserving of refugee status.\n[2] These recent revelations of the Obama administration\u2019s pro-Muslim and anti-Christian policies fit a clear and established pattern of religious bias within his administration. Examples follow:\nWhen inviting scores of Muslim representatives, the State Department is in the habit of denying visas to solitary Christian representatives.\nWhen a few persecuted Iraqi Christians crossed the border into the U.S., they were thrown in prison for several months and then sent back to the lion\u2019s den.\nWhen the Nigerian government waged a strong offensive against Boko Haram, killing some of its jihadi terrorists, Secretary of State John Kerry called for the \u201chuman rights\u201d of the jihadis, who regularly slaughter and rape Christians and burn their churches. More recently, Kerry \u201curged Tajikistan not to go overboard in its crackdown on Islam.\u201d\nWhen persecuted Coptic Christians planned on joining Egypt\u2019s anti-Muslim Brotherhood revolution of 2013, the U.S. said no.\nWhen persecuted Iraqi and Syrian Christians asked for arms to join the opposition fighting ISIS, C. refused.\nLabels: immigration, Islamic supremacism, islamic terrorism, migrant crisis, muslim demographics, Muslim persecution of Christians, obama, refugee crisis, Western Corruption",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Education \u00bb Indonesian Education System \u2013 History and Development\nIndonesian Education System \u2013 History and Development\nEducation is the process of learning and developing of one\u2019s knowledge, skill, mind, character by formal schooling, teaching or training. Parents and family are the first place for children to start archiving their knowledge. At the age of 5-6, parents start introducing their children to formal education such as kindergarten. Formal education commonly divided into such stages. Such as:\nPreschool or kindergarten.\nSee also: Indonesian Democracy \u2013 Biggest earthquake in Indonesia\nEducation frequently takes place under the guidance of educators, but learners may also educate themselves through homeschooling service.\nEducation system has been around since the era of Hindu-Buddhist development. Then, the education was called karsyan. It has a meaning as a place of hermitage. When Islam entered and spread all over Indonesia, there were pondok pesantren. Pondok Pesantren is a type of Islamic boarding school. Then,it was introduced and several of them were established. The location of pesantren is mostly faraway from the hustling crowd of the city, resembling the location of Karsyan.\nFormal education in Indonesia starts around the time of Dutch\u2019s colonization over the country. Brugmans states that education is determined by political and economic considerations of Dutch in Indonesia (Nasution, 1987: 3). Not everyone has the same right when it comes to education back then\u2014only special people with special status allowed to taste the experience of formal education. Even though Indonesian people with special status allowed to learn, education for Dutch people has always been the main priority. In fact, the only reason Indonesian people can taste the experience of formal education is just so the Dutch can have as much cheap labor as they can.\nFinancial difficulties that happened to the Netherlands due to Diponegoro War in 1825 to 1830 as well as the Dutch and Belgian war in 1830 to 1839. It motivated the Dutch to forced labor Indonesian people in order to cover up their war expenditures. To ease the communication between the natives and the Netherlands, able to speak Dutch become Klein Ambtenaarsexamen low government employee exam\u2019s requirement in 1864. The characteristics of education the Netherlands gave for Indonesian people are gradualism, dualism and a very strong control.\nSee also: Deforestation in Indonesia \u2013 Poverty in Indonesia\nOnly when it comes to Ethical Political era that the government actually put enough attention to Indonesian people\u2019s education. However, it didnt offer benefit Indonesia. Indonesia education evolves until 1930 before the crisis hampered the world.\nWhen Japan win over the Dutch, the education for Indonesian people didn\u2019t change much. The attention to Indonesian people\u2019s education still so poor and forced labor (romusha) become worse.\nLikewise, when Indonesia won independence, the education of Indonesia\u2019s people still not improved.\nSee also: Indonesian Heroes \u2013 Indonesian Traditional Transportation\nImmediately after the proclamation of independence, the new formed Indonesian Government appointed Ki Hajar Dewantara as the first Minister of Education. From 1945 to 1946, there has been a lot of turnover Minister of Education and with the brief length of service for each, there is not much they can do.\nIn the period of 1945-1969, the national education of Indonesia\u2019s aim went through five changes. The national education of Indonesia\u2019s aim in the early days of independence is focused to patriotism. As time goes by, lot of changes made based on the environment of Indonesia\u2019s national life and no longer just patriotism. In UU No. 4/1950 on the Basics of Education and Teaching in Schools, Chapter II, Article 3 stated, \u201cThe purpose of education and teaching is to form human decency cover and citizens of a democratic and responsible for the welfare of the people and the homeland.\u201d\nSince Indonesia\u2019s independence day until today, there are 10 curriculum that have been implemented in the national education system of Indonesia. From 1974 until 2013, the government have changed the curriculum for almost 11 times\u2014in 1947, 1952, 1964, 1968, 1975, 1984, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2006 and 2013. The changes that occur is a manifestation of the consequences of changes in the era such as changes in economic, political, social, cultural as well as science and technology evolve.\nTypes of Indonesian Education\nThere are several types of education which applied in Indonesia. Such as:\n1. Public School\nPublic school is a school held by the government. In Indonesia, public school available in Middle and High School only. In order to be accepted, one must have passed through his or her exam with the total score as per the requirements of the school. The competition to be accepted in public schools every year is increasingly fierce. Almost every parent wishes for their children to be accepted in public school. Public school in Indonesia have quite a good reputation and free of any charge from 1st Grade of Elementary school to 9th Grade of Junior High School.\nPublic school is known as an independent schools, non-governmental, or non-state schools. Public school is not administered by local, state or national governments. Thus, they can select their own students with their own terms and conditions. Every private school are funded in whole or in part. It done by charging their students tuition along with donation from foundations. Then, it much better rather than relying on mandatory taxation through public government funding. Each private school applies policies from the Indonesian Government, and given the opportunity of additional activities whether cultural or for sport.\n3. Vocational School\nVocational School locally known as Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) is an education stage equal to Senior High School (most known as Sekolah Menengah Atas or SMA). When one is graduated from Elementary School, he or she can either enter SMK or SMA. Usually, those who wishes to continue to university will choose SMA, meanwhile, those who wises to immediately working will choose SMK.\nSMK is more focused on developing one\u2019s expertise in things such as:\nTechnology and Engineering.\nArts, Crafts and Tourism.\nAgribusiness and Agro-industry.\nBusiness and Management.\n4. Religion School\nThere are two major religious school in Indonesia, that is Christian school and Islamic School. Even though both school is exclusively for each religion only, as time goes by, a Christian can attend an Islamic school just fine and so the otherwise. These kind of school, usually have addition lessons that revolves around the religion itself.\nIn Indonesia, there are two types of Muslim schools, that is boarding schools known as \u201cpesantren\u201d and Islamic day schools known as madrassahs (or madrasas). Pesantren began as an informal religious school meanwhile madrassahs by offering a more formalized religious education but as time goes by sometimes, the situation can be reversed.\nAcademic education is a higher education. It is directed mainly at the acquisition and development disciplines of science, technology, or certain arts. Then it also includes educational programs of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degrees.\n6. Professional Education\nProfessional education is a higher education after undergraduate program. The purpose is for prepare students to have a job with a special skill requirements. Professional education graduates will get a professional degree.\nVocational education is a higher education that support the mastery of specific applied skills, including education programs Diploma. Graduates of vocational education will get a vocational degree.\nGrades of Indonesian Education\nThe school year in Indonesia is divided into two semesters. The first commences in July and ends in December while the latter commences in January and ends in June. Grades of Indonesia\u2019s education according to level is Preschool, Primary School, Middle School, High School, and Post-Secondary Education.\nPreschool is an educational establishment or learning for children between the ages of three and five, prior to the commencement of compulsory education at primary school. Few preschool have their own uniform color, not necessarily decided by the government. In Indonesia, Preschool known locally as TK (Taman Kanak-kanak) and divide into:\nPrimary or Elementary school is the first stage of compulsory education in most parts of the world, and is available without charge, unless if it\u2019s independent school.

Post-Secondary Education.\nPost-secondary education, or third level education is an optional final stage of formal learning. It occurs after completion of secondary education. This is the university stage. A person can continue his or her study to this stage or not at all. Usually, the one graduate from SMK will immediately work in a company, meanwhile the one graduate from SMA will continue to this stage in order to obtain positions with higher salaries\u2014though, it can be the otherwise.\nThere is no limitation of age at this stage and the normal time spent to finish the study is four years. Post-Secondary Education generally culminates in the receipt of certificates, diplomas, or academic degrees. The degrees available in Indonesia are:\nType of degree Indonesian term Equivalent in English-speaking countries\nDiploma 1 (D1) Profesional ahli pratama Associate degree\nDiploma 2 (D2) Profesional ahli muda Associate degree\nDiploma 3 (D3) Profesional ahli madya Associate degree\nDiploma 4 (D4) Sarjana sains terapan Bachelor\u2019s degree\nSarjana 1 (S1) Sarjana Bachelor\u2019s degree\nSarjana 2 (S2) Magister Master\u2019s degree\nSarjana 3 (S3) Doktor Doctoral degree\nAdmission of Indonesian Education\nIn UU No. 20 2003 Article 13, paragraph 1 states that the path of education in Indonesia consists of formal education, non-formal and informal. The reason government choose these path of education for Indonesia is to develop Indonesian people\u2019s potential through a learning process that is available on line, level and any type of education. Non-formal education is held for anyone who may wish for educational services that act as substitutes, enhancer, or complement formal education in order to support their lifelong education.\nExample of the Institution\nFormal Education which is held by school or college. \u00b7 TK\n\u00b7 SD, MI\n\u00b7 SMP, MTS\n\u00b7 SMA, SMK, MA\nNon-formal Education hosted by institutions outside school or college. \u00b7 Courses\n\u00b7 TPA\n\u00b7 Tutors\nInformal Education in family or community.

Some schools also offer an accelerated learning program in which students who perform well can complete the level in two years. It is not necessarily to go to preschool or higher education such as college\u2014it is purely one\u2019s decision and didn\u2019t affect the education system itself.\nThough, a perfect education in Indonesia spent seventeen years to complete\u2014one year in kindergarten, six years in Elementary School, three years in Junior High School, three years in Senior High School and four years in university.\nWhen it come to university, the length of time between those who run for Sarjana and those who run for Diploma are different.\nLength of Years\nSarjana 1 (S1)\n1,5 \u2013 2 years\nMost of students in Indonesia go to school six (or five, depending on the institution) days a week from 6:30 a.m. until afternoon (usually 2 or 3 p.m.) and followed by extracurricular activities. At university, there is a class exclusively for those who work, usually start around 5 to 10 PM in 4-5 days a week, namely evening class or employee class. Though, in some university employee class start in the morning to evening and only on Saturday and Sunday.\nLevel of Indonesian Education\nEducation level is the level or stage of development of the learners, the objectives to be achieved, and development capacities. In Indonesia, level of education divided into early childhood education programs, primary education, middle education and higher education.\n1. Early Childhood Education Programs\nIn Indonesia, early childhood education programs, locally known as Pendidikan anak usia dini (PAUD) is an optional stage of education. In the past, most parents didn\u2019t even think to enroll their children in PAUD and directly sent them to Elementary School. Many parents prefer to teach their children basic skill (reading, counting and writing) on their own before sending them to Elementary School.\nPAUD is held to assist the growth and development of children physically and mentally in order to have them ready for further education.\nAccording to Article 28 of the UU Education No.20 / 2003, paragraph 1, the range of early childhood education is 0-6 years. Meanwhile, according to Clumps Scientific Study of Early Childhood, early childhood implemented since the age of 0-8 years.\nHere is the range of early childhood education in Indonesia:\nPreschool / Kindergarten children (3-6 years)\nEarly Primary School (SD Class Starts) (6-8 years)\nPrimary education is the first formal education and a 9 years compulsory education program\u2014six years in Elementary School (SD) and three years in Middle School (SMP).\nThen, at the end of primary education, students are required to pass the National Examination (UN) as it is a requirement to be able to continue their education to the next level (SMP / MTs).\nMeanwhile, National Exam commonly abbreviated as UN / UNAS is a standard evaluation system of primary and secondary education.\nBoth of nationally and equal quality education levels among regions conducted by the education assessment center based on the Law of the Republic of Indonesia number 20 of 2003.\nHigher education is the final stage of education. It includes teaching, research, exacting applied work (e.g. in medical schools and dental schools), and social services activities of universities.\nThe general higher education and training that takes place in a university . Then, it usually includes significant theoretical and abstract elements, as well as applied aspects.\nMeanwhile, organizing educational unit include the academy, institute, polytechnic and universities.\nThe types of higher education are:\nSee also: Sumatran Tigers\nThe Development of Indonesian Education in New Era\nIn this new era, developing skill and knowledge are not limited only to formal school or homeschooling. Now, internet play an important part in the educational system of Indonesia. Everyone can easily learn about anything from internet at anytime. But even though education can easily obtained now, education in Indonesia\u2019s development still lacking a lot of things. Lacking of basic learning skills on curriculum and moral education. The quality of education in Indonesia still counts as poor. By looking at how easily a student has a good score even though they didn\u2019t understand the lesson, it\u2019s very saddening.\nUntil this very moment, Indonesia\u2019s curriculum in the education system is still lacking of basic learning skills, meanwhile, basic learning skills is counted as an important aspect to learn. Most curriculum are focused too much on making sure the students understand a lot of complicated things that they may never meets in real life. While not denying the fact that it is important, curriculum should also have basic learning skills. Basic learning skills, in fact, will absolutely meet the student in real life.\nAll this time, study or not, every student\u2019s achievement is considered equal and everyone passed exams at the same time. This generalizes treatment towards every student in Indonesia is considered unfair since everyone have a different potential and environment. In order to stabilize education system in Indonesia, the government need to consider the students\u2019 ability before deciding to use curriculum that too far ahead for them.\nAlthough there are still many deficiency on Indonesia\u2019s education system, education in Indonesia today is at least progressing quite well. Indonesia now ranks 69th out of 127 based on the Education For All (EFA) of UNESCO which is based Education Development Index (EDI).\neducation, Indonesia, Indonesia Education",

And given what we have experienced, we know that the future of our world depends on a critical mass of people learning to let go of hate and embrace forgiveness. To be human is to become part and parcel of human magnanimity and compassion as well as human betrayal, violence, and sin. Perhaps Paul was referring to this aspect of what it means for God to become human when he said, \u201cFor our sake he [God] made him [Jesus] to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:21).

        "raw_content": "Faroe Express: Faster Than Ever\nHome/Ports & Shipping/Faroe Express: Faster Than Ever\nFaroe Express offers an array of domestic and international transport and logistics services including courier, airfreight, warehousing, door-to-door services and more\u2014such as container shipping by sea.\nAirfreight forwarding and courier service Faroe Express is literally running to further fortify its position in the Faroe Islands. As a business division of Faroe Ship, Faroe Express has successfully developed services tailored for clients in need of safe and speedy freight services and solutions to and from the Faroe Islands, domestic as well as international forwarding.\n\u201cWe identified a growing demand for tailored solutions and door-to-door services,\u201d said Faroe Express managing director Jannis Moraitis. \u201cThe response to our offerings has been quite remarkable and we\u2019re looking to expand our business.\u201d\nAs a vibrant economy whose total population amounts to a mere 50,000 people, the Faroe Islands ships as much as between 500,000 and 700,000 tonnes of seafood to overseas markets every year. All of this translates into a wide variety of derived business activities, generating high demand for a number of services, not least in transport and logistics.\nFaroe Express was formed about two decades ago, focusing on the areas of ocean freight, airfreight, import and export, and domestic transport services including bonded warehousing.\nAccording to Mr. Moraitis, there is also an increasing demand for international forwarding services, and the business strategy has recently been broadened from its earlier emphasis on courier services.\n\u201cWe like to present ourselves as a comprehensive transportation company offering all services related to import and export to and from the Faroe Islands, and a full range of transit services around the world,\u201d he said.\n\u201cAs a part of the Eimskip Group, we are affiliated with major transport companies around the world, utilizing the broad service networks and production systems of our partners. The Faroe Islands, like any other country, needs reliable and timely shipping services. The needs however differ rather much and some clients require services that go beyond what most importers and exporters require. We work very closely with our clients and partners to ensure the best quality service. We also have extensive experience in cargo that requires special attention and oversized cargo.\u201d\nTo drive that point home, Faroe Express, for a second consecutive year, is holding a spectacular relay race in August this year (2018) in the area around its premises at T\u00f3rshavn\u2019s East Harbour.\n\u201cThe relay race last year was the first one and it was hugely popular,\u201d Mr. Moraitis said. \u201cWe expect a good outcome again this time around. The whole idea of relay racing matches our new brand and it illustrates the principle of offering a great service throughout the various links of the entire transport chain. This is good way of reminding people that we\u2019re here, and this event is something that Faroe Express is involved with for everyone to enjoy.\u201d\nOffering all relevant services associated with freight and door-to-door services includes a serious commitment to customs and paperwork on behalf of clients.\n\u201cBesides organizing transport and shipment and added services, by default we also handle the whole range of customs and documentation issues,\u201d Mr. Moraitis said. \u201cOur bonded area warehouse is exactly for the purpose of making the entire process from shipment through customs and delivery as seamless as possible for our clients.\u201d\nFaroe Express has its own fleet of vans and access to the Faroe Islands\u2019 largest fleet of trucks as well as the country\u2019s largest warehouse. Customers are offered a high degree of flexibility with options that include prompt or delayed customs clearance and individually adjusted delivery.\n\u201cAn added benefit for many customers is that they can free up liquidity, time and space by using our warehousing service, and many retailers, for example, opt for this. As well as handling all paperwork and customs, we can also take care of distribution to end customers who have the option of either having us delivering the shipped items to their door or to pick up them up themselves at the warehouse.\u201d\nMr. Moraitis further noted that being part of the Eimskip Group has strengthened Faroe Express\u2019 appeal to its customer base\u2014that the company has access to offices in more than 20 countries and is furthermore part of a network that reaches every corner of the globe.\n\u201cOur transport and logistics infrastructure connects the Faroe Islands directly to Scandinavia, Northern Europe and North America and indirectly to the rest of the entire world,\u201d he added.",

        "raw_content": "The Importance of the WTO Negotiations\nAgriculture, Frontier Centre, Publications, Rural January 27, 2005\nIntroduction \u2013 Who Are the Grain Growers of Canada\nThe Grain Growers of Canada is a national organization comprised of major grain and oilseed commodity groups that stretch across the country. We are devoted to representing grain and oilseed producer interests in national policy development.\nOur member organizations, which represent every region of the country, are:\nAtlantic Grains Council\nBritish Columbia Grain Producers Association\nF\u00e9d\u00e9ration des Producteurs de Cultures Commerciales du Qu\u00e9bec\nOntario Corn Producers\u2019 Association\nOntario Soybean Growers\nOntario Wheat Producers Marketing Board\nThe GGC\u2019s principles, as developed by farmers, are to:\nPursue a grower-driven, competitive agricultural trading environment based on comparative advantage and open markets\nPromote government policies that are transparent, non-distorting, and subject to periodic review, if government involvement is warranted\nAdvocate policies that will attract investment in a competitive value-added processing industry and stimulate innovative research and development\nAdvocate policies that cultivate consumer confidence through an agricultural industry that is environmentally sustainable, fosters responsible stewardship, and utilizes rigorous science to continue to provide a safe food supply.\nThe Importance of Trade to Canadian and Manitoba Agriculture\n90% of Canadian farmers depend upon the world market for the determination of their price and marketing opportunities. The importance of international markets is not restricted to any single commodity or region of the country.\n60% of Canadian canola production is exported.\nOver 75% of the wheat and durum produced in Canada is exported.\nExports of Canadian special crops range from 68% of dry pea production to 98% of canary seed production.\nOver 50% of Canada\u2019s pork production is sold on the export market.\nNormally over 60% of Canadian cattle and beef production is exported\nThe importance of trade can be shown in other ways:\nCanadian Canola \u2013 without canola exports Canada wouldn\u2019t need the production from 30,000 producers or 3 million acres. Canada could close the equivalent of 6 oilseed crushing plants.\nCanadian Wheat \u2013 without wheat exports, Canada would require 21,000 fewer producers and 19,000,000 fewer acres in wheat production. There would also be no need for 4 milling facilities.\nCanadian Pork \u2013 without pork exports there would be no need for the production from 7,000 producers, and the equivalent of 19 packing plants, accounting for 8,600 jobs would not be required, and 4 million tonnes of feed grains would not be required.\nCanadian Beef \u2013 It is clear that the BSE crisis has had a devastating impact on our beef industry, but it is also clear that one of the critical components of the strategy for the sector is expanded and diversified trade. If Canada didn\u2019t export beef, our country would require 37,000 fewer beef producers. We would need 13 fewer packing plants \u2013 representing over 5,500 jobs, and there would be no demand for 3.6 million tonnes of feed grains.\nAgriculture and international trade are also very important to Manitoba. Exports of agriculture and food products from Manitoba totalled over $2.5 billion in 2002 \u2013 about 10% of Canada\u2019s total agriculture and agri-food exports.\nAgricultural producers, processors and exporters in Manitoba are dependent on the international marketplace, but it is a market place that is highly distorted by market access barriers like tariffs, tariff rate quotas and non-tariff barriers, by export subsidies, and trade distorting domestic support. This needs to change if this key Manitoba industry is going to grow and prosper in the future. This needs to change if we are going to see increased job growth and development in our rural communities.\nWhat are the Benefits of Liberalization?\nIt has been estimated that European Union United States subsidy regimes cost Canadian grains and oilseed farmers at least $1.3 billion every year.\nThese subsides hurt all grains and oilseed farmers. For example, even a farmer who sells feed grain to his neighbour is negatively impacted by foreign interference in world markets because the price he receives is determined on the world market.\nThe impact of interference in world markets extends beyond subsidy programs.\nStudies have concluded that the elimination of foreign tariffs on our export products over the next 10 years would bring another $422 million annually to Canadian wheat producers, $236 million annually to barley producers and almost $80 million annually to corn producers.\nTariff parity for canola and its products, with soybean and its products in Korea and India, could add an additional $270 million to the Canadian canola industry.\nTariff barriers on our value added products are preventing the expansion of the Canadian agri-food processing industry and costing Canadian jobs, especially jobs in rural Canada.\nFor example, flour milling was once a very strong export sector in Canada. However, we no longer participate to any extent in the international market place. Canada was totally displaced by subsidized flour exports from the European Union.\nIndia, the world\u2019s largest importer of edible oil, provides another example of the potential benefits from trade liberalization for Canada and Manitoba in particular. India places an 85% tariff on canola oil imports. This has effectively cut off Canadian exporters from helping to supply this lucrative and growing market.\nTariff escalation in Japan \u2013 the practice of applying higher tariffs on processed products over raw seed \u2013 results in additional lost opportunities of about $250 million annually.\nThese are just a few examples of current trade restrictions that are restricting the growth of both the Canadian and Manitoba economy. Tariff barriers, subsides, and other restrictions are not only taking money out of the hands of farmers, they are taking jobs away from our rural communities.\nI firmly believe that one of the greatest rural development plans that the federal government could implement would be an aggressive stance for trade liberalization at the WTO.\nThe Doha Round \u2013 Continuing the Reform\nThe Grain Growers of Canada are strongly supportive of Canada\u2019s decision to sign on to the framework that was agreed to by the WTO\u2019s General Council on July 31, 2004. We believe that the framework will allow us to accomplish many of our trade goals. Specifically this framework will allow for:\nthe negotiation of an end to all forms of export subsidies, including the subsidy elements of export credits and food aid;\nsubstantial reductions in trade distorting domestic support with the assurances that the highest subsidizers will face the greatest cuts;\nincreases in market access for grains, oilseeds, and their value added products;\na curtailment of the practice of charging higher tariffs on processed products (tariff escalation); and\nbetter definitions and independent monitoring of programs that are supposed to be non-distorting (\u201cgreen\u201d programs).\nThe GGC notes that this framework agreement is not perfect. For example, we would have preferred to see \u201cblue box\u201d provisions eliminated entirely along with more coherent and aggressive guidelines in the area of market access that affect grains and oilseeds. However, despite the imperfections, we support the Government of Canada\u2019s decision to use this framework as the basis of future negotiations.\nThe July framework agreement is not an end to the WTO negotiations. We must now begin the difficult task of negotiating the specific modalities that will fulfil the WTO mandate.\nCanadian agriculture will only realize the full benefits outlined above, if there is true global free trade. That is not a realistic goal for this round of negotiations. Remember it took eight rounds of GATT negotiations over 50 years to bring industrial tariffs to their current low levels.\nAgriculture has only been part of the global trade agreement for one round. However, it is absolutely critical that the process of reform started in the Uruguay Round be continued.\nThe real results of the round cannot be quantified until countries agree on the numbers \u2013 the size of cuts to tariffs and domestic subsidies and the degree of expansion of tariff rate quotas, as well as the time frame for implementation of the cuts and export subsidy elimination.\nNegotiators will begin work on the \u201cmodalities\u201d or real numbers this autumn. It is hoped that there will be an agreement by the next WTO Ministerial meeting in December, 2005.\nCanadian agriculture is a highly trade dependent sector in a very highly trade dependent country. Without the international market place, there would be no market for millions of tonnes of production, and no future for tens of thousands of producers, or for many hundreds of thousands of Canadians who currently rely on the agriculture and food industry for employment.\nBeing forced to operate in a global marketplace where the activities and policies of governments, rather than market forces, dictate success, keeps the Canadian industry from realizing its full potential. Even more seriously, it has depressed farm incomes, reduced investment and decimated the Canadian rural landscape.\nIt is clear that the way to global wealth and prosperity is through open trade, where countries and sectors can compete based on their comparative and competitive advantages in a market place that is not artificially distorted by subsidies and access barriers.\nThe current round of international trade negotiations on agriculture is the world\u2019s opportunity to take substantial steps towards realizing the benefits that will be created for the world\u2019s economies, developed and developing alike, by continuing the process of liberalization. As the Uruguay Round built the foundation for real reductions in support and protectionism, the framework developed in July builds the foundation for substantial steps forward in the Doha Round.\nIt is absolutely critical that Canada resist demands, both from internal as well as external sources, to retrench into protectionism. Instead Canada must move forward alone and with international allies to lead the reform process.\nAnd here is where I leave a challenge. Even if you have not thought about it, the ongoing WTO negotiations matter a great deal to everyone in this room. Our governments, both federally and provincially, need to know this fact. Politicians need to hear support for trade liberalization directly from their constituents.\nIf this does not happen politicians will only hear from those who say \u201cstop\u201d. Canada could very well be left behind as a result. That would be a large loss for the national economy and for all the citizens of Manitoba.",

The development of communication skills develop early in life when we are children. According to the National Institute of Health in an article called Speech and Language Developmental Milestones, \u201cthe first 3 years of life, when the brain is developing and maturing, is the most intensive period for acquiring speech and language skills.\u201d\nEarly detection of any communication impairment in a child is critical because the ability to communicate is essential to learning. In Frequently Asked Questions: Speech and Language Disorders in the School Setting, the question is asked \u201cHow may a speech-language disorder affect school performance?\u201d The answer is \u201cChildren with communication disorders frequently do not perform at grade level.

The embankment was built across the mouth of the River Winster and resulted in a change to the tidal inundation pattern of the mudflats and saltmarsh area protected by the embankment. The sand within Morecambe Bay is extremely mobile causing the migration of drainage channels and has resulted in the construction of training walls for the two main discharges; the River Kent and River Winster. Since its construction the rail embankment has performed effectively as a coastal defence and still currently provides protection. In recent times however the flood risk on the landward side of the embankment has increased due to climate change and other external factors increasing the vulnerability of the critical infrastructure asset.This presentation will examine the work done by Network Rail to investigate the fluvial and estuarine processes which have caused the increased risk and set out the case for future management of the embankment and river channels to increase resilience and protect both the rail line and adjacent land and property.",

        "raw_content": "The South Asia Channel: How Europe Can Help the Rohingya How Europe Can Help the Rohi...\nHow Europe Can Help the Rohingya\nCan Europe offer any borderless lessons to help Southeast Asia with its own migrant crisis?\nBy Claire Greenstein, Brandon Tensley\nIn this photo taken on May 20, 2015 shows Rohingya migrants resting on a boat off the coast near Kuala Simpang Tiga in Indonesia's East Aceh district of Aceh province before being rescued. Indonesia's foreign minister demanded answers from Canberra about claims Australian officials paid thousands of dollars to turn a boat back to Indonesia after Prime Minister Tony Abbott refused to deny the allegations. AFP PHOTO / JANUAR (Photo credit should read JANUAR/AFP/Getty Images)\nWhen the dry season brings calmer seas to Southeast Asia, scores of Rohingya Muslims are likely to take to rickety boats to flee oppression in their homelands. As this sailing season looms again in the region, so does a refugee crisis that follows with equally seasonal regularity.\nThe Rohingya are a distinct, Muslim minority in Southeast Asia, whose presence in the region stretches back some 1,000 years. Since 2012, over 100,000 Rohingya have fled Myanmar due to religious discrimination, typically fueled by Buddhist agitators. Many have been shut out of nearby countries where they sought shelter. Today, there are sizeable Rohingya communities in Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Despite their historical roots in the region, the Rohingya are largely viewed as foreigners and denied basic rights.\nLooking back, 2015 could be summed up as the year of the global refugee crisis. Civil war in Syria has increased the global rate of displacement due to persecution and war to the highest recorded levels in history. Europe has yet to develop a coordinated, region-wide response to refugee floods. While Europe\u2019s refugee crisis has taken center stage in global politics, Asia has long been home to the largest number of asylum seekers and refugees on the planet. The United Nations estimates that the number of displaced persons in Asia skyrocketed by over 30 percent in 2014. Though there is an obvious need for leadership and strategies for supporting refugees, there remains a policy vacuum in the region.\nFew Asian countries have signed the 1951 Refugee Convention, which defines who qualifies as a refugee, the rights guaranteed to refugees, and the responsibilities that states have to them. The agreement could be beneficial in Southeast Asia, both for states and for refugees. By signing, states receive guidelines on how to address refugee inflows, and if they abide by the definition of who qualifies as a refugee, they also get political cover for rejecting individuals who do not fit the decades-old definition. Refugees, in turn, are guaranteed at least some basic rights.\nIn 2015, The New York Times described China and India, Asia\u2019s two top-league powers, as \u201csitting out\u201d of the Rohingya refugee crisis. This inaction was largely the result of putting moral concerns second to political calculus. Countries see no positive outcome in the short-term for touching a tinderbox issue.\nIf strong leadership cannot be found in Asia\u2019s most powerful countries, the best tool to address the crisis might be the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Southeast Asia\u2019s most inclusive intergovernmental organization. In 2012, after much debate, ASEAN adopted a Human Rights Declaration that explicitly enshrined the right to asylum.\nIronically, however, human rights activists are wary that this declaration may actually undermine human rights gains in the region, because it states that \u201cthe realization of human rights must be considered in the regional and national context.\u201d This clause can be interpreted as allowing states to use their national context \u2013 i.e. religious background\u2013 as a pretext to reject certain refugees. The declaration will likely not encourage a sense of shared responsibility.\nWith hopes of a regional approach waning, the Rohingya may benefit from the approach recently adopted by France and other European countries working to address the root cause of migration. Fearing that it can\u2019t take another year of heavy migrant influx, Europeans are leaning toward a retooled refugee strategy, one that devotes key resources to quelling the war in Syria to stem refugee flows at the source.\nIn Southeast Asia, fostering reconciliation, especially in Myanmar, between the Rohingya and their oppressors would be a serious step forward. Recent fieldwork conducted by Anthony Ware and Ronan Lee suggests that domestic compromise can be attained. Both minority Rohingya Muslims and majority Rakhine Buddhists in Myanmar\u2019s Rakhine State, where some 800,000 Rohingya Muslims live, believe that peace could be achieved if the government would provide the political leadership and resources necessary to ensure each community\u2019s human rights. Following a thumping victory by the National League for Democracy (NLD) in Myanmar\u2019s historic November election, all eyes have turned to NLD chairwoman Aung Sang Suu Kyi to bring attention and action to the plight of the Rohingya. Regrettably, the democracy icon has so far fallen short on addressing the widespread discrimination against the Muslim community, drawing criticism for what many see as bowing to political pressure from the country\u2019s overwhelmingly Buddhist voters.\nRegional leaders have a chance to prevent the next chapter of Southeast Asia\u2019s refugee crisis. ASEAN nations may be able to solve their refugee problem by using a judicious combination of carrots and sticks to entice governments to dismantle the anti-Muslim frameworks that have made the Rohingya one of the most persecuted minority groups in the world.\nWorking toward a solution to the region\u2019s substantial refugee challenges will require a bold response at the regional level to address the large numbers of refugees and the root causes of displacement. One or more regional governments must take up the mantle to support these efforts and funds must be provided to ultimately integrate Rohingya refugees into their new host countries or back into society in Myanmar.\n2015 has taught us that there is no silver bullet for refugee crises. If 2016 is to be different, and if fewer Rohingya are to lose their lives in the pursuit of safety, ASEAN countries must accept their responsibility and work together toward a sustainable solution.\nJANUAR/AFP/Getty Images\nClaire Greenstein is a PhD candidate in comparative politics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a 2015-16 Fellow in the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies at the Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin.\n@BrandonTensley\nTags: Myanmar, refugees, South Asia",

        "raw_content": "The Hardest Truth and the Death of My Childhood\nSo, I lied. I think there is one more blog to write before my work week is over. This is a blog I have avoided. It involves the truth that I hide even from myself. It involves all that I have discussed before, but it goes far deeper than that. It cuts to the heart of my fears in starting a relationship. It took me a long time to accept it as truth, but I\u2019ve yet to really be able to express it to anyone. It\u2019s pitiful and pathetic. It paints me as exceedingly weak and it calls into question my mental health. It is the basis for why I question my own sanity and why I accept that insanity is not far away.\nThat may not even play a part in it. I\u2019m sure I\u2019m not the only one to have done it and I know that it was borne out of a fracture started long ago. If I hadn\u2019t been broken down and berated by everyone around me, maybe it would not have happened, but it did and it scares me. I question all that I see in women because of this one folly. It was a major folly though and it is difficult to express\u2026\nMuch of what I saw and loved in Anna and much of what we had together had no basis in reality. I invented much of it. She was real. We did spend time together. We had moments. But, really, we spent one week together every year at camp, and that was mostly it. I saw her a few times outside of that and we wrote each other letters some, but not much. We both professed feelings for each other, but I carried much of it. I didn\u2019t really love the girl that she was. I loved the idyllic version of her that resided in my mind.\nIt all came crashing down that final day. Reality met dream and reality won out. It killed me.\nWhat I\u2019ve talked about before was true as well. She didn\u2019t help it with her words, but how could she have? I didn\u2019t know then that who I saw in my mind was not the girl that sat across that bench from me. Everything I\u2019ve written about about how her words hurt me is true, I never really got past it and it was detrimental to me. Really though, it was just the final blow. It was the culmination of a lifetime of being beaten down by ever kid in school, watching my mother go in and out of the hospital, the dissolution of my parent\u2019s marriage, and many other things. It was the death of my childhood.\nWhen all that had come before it kept getting more and more difficult to deal with, I clung harder to the illusion that was the relationship. I needed something to believe in and hope for and I chose love, even if it was false. I\u2019d lost my dignity and my confidence (and much, much more) to the bullying. I had lost my sense of family and love to the divorce. I was even losing my friends as we got older and I withdrew deeper. So, as I lost all I had I clung to the only thing I could see that had made me happy at any time in the recent past. And I\u2019ve paid dearly for it.\nUntil recently, I hadn\u2019t dealt with anything leading up to that day. It change everything I am, but I just sort of went along with it. A new version of me was born that day and he didn\u2019t really want to live. He just did what he had to to survive and did not survive well. I couldn\u2019t thrive. I ran away, moved to California for school and then Texas but never found much. Even when I cam home, I couldn\u2019t find anything. Everything I was running from was finally catching up to me and one night after to much gin, I found a knife and tried to end it all. I couldn\u2019t do it though. I had it on my wrist, pressing the point in, but I didn\u2019t actually have the will to pierce the flesh. I wanted to, but I couldn\u2019t. It was a move borne of desperation and a small part of me fought against it and kept me from doing it.\nIt was after that night that I went to my deepest and darkest places. I didn\u2019t talk to any of my friends for about 6 months after that. Everything I ran from had finally consumed me and I retreated deep within myself, first to escape and then to deal with it. That was 3 years ago and I\u2019m still trying to work it all out, though I am now doing so openly and talking with others about it. I have come a long way since that day but I still have a long way to go.\nThe experience I had of falling for someone that existed more in my mind than in the real world has tainted all encounters since. I second guess myself at every turn, wondering if what was said means what they said or if I have read more into it than was meant. If I did it once, it is not such a far stretch to think I would do it again. Because of that I couldn\u2019t trust anything that was happening. Still don\u2019t, really. I still tell myself I\u2019m being an idiot every time something seems to be starting. Even my recent trip was tainted by it. She told me that people mean what they say and that we are no longer in high school, and she was right, but at the same time it is not the other person I am questioning, it is my own mind. I lost trust in myself and if I can\u2019t trust myself, I\u2019m royally fucked. And royally fucked I have been.\nI still don\u2019t really know how to move forward from this. I do not know what to change to find trust in myself again. The crux is, I am still not ready for a relationship but the only thing I can thing of to fix it is to go out and keep trying, even if I keep failing. Admitting to it and really, truly accepting it are a good start though. I\u2019ll figure out the rest somehow. I have to. If I ever want to have a meaningful relationship, I\u2019m going to have to get past this. I think that while I work on it, I need to just put any option of a relationship out of my mind for a time. That thought still hurts though. I\u2019ve craved having someone in my life for a very long time. That may have been misplaced needs though. Not sure yet.\nI feel like there is more to this, but I can\u2019t find it yet. For now, I will leave you with a song. This song comes from an album I bought just two days after the last time I saw Anna, the day it all crashed down. The album spoke to me about what had happened. I have always clung to this song thinking of her. A part of me always knew just how apt it was, especially the final lament of \u2018She isn\u2019t real, I can\u2019t make her real\u2019. I never could see just how true the words were until much later. The song is Vermilion, pt. 2.\nI sometimes wonder what would happen if she found my blog and saw that I was talking about her 8 years later. In truth, I while I have been cognizant of her in the last 8 years, I have not focused on her much for the last 5/6 years. It took me a couple years before her name left my lips, before I stopped seeing her when my eyes closed. Once I did, she faded to the back of my mind though. Her ghost was there, moving around other things, but she was no longer a huge force. Even now, I talk of her and how that day changed me, but she is not on my mind that much. It is the changes that happened that day that I think of, that I wrestle with and am trying to overcome. She just happens to be there.\nSeptember 20, 2012 | Categories: Catharsis, Growth, Loneliness, Love, Processing | Tags: Folly, Letting Go, Sanity, Suicide, Trust, Vermilion pt. 2 | Leave a comment",

        "raw_content": "RECAP: BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS IN A GLOBALIZED ECONOMY5:07\nPROJECT: GENERAL FEEDBACK11:12\nIn this third part of your capstone project, the final peer reviewed exercise\nfor the specialization, globalization economic growth and stability.\nI'm going to ask you again to get involved with the data, to download data,\nto look at it, to contrast it, to see whether it matches what you've\nlearned to expect in the three courses of the specialization.\nAnd where there are deviations from normalcy, where things match what you\nwould think you would see, where policy appears appropriate, where it does not.\nAnd as we do this, our focus is now moving toward, okay, what risks?\nWhat opportunities?\nIs this going to apply for business?\nAnd this is a topic that we've addressed over and\nover again throughout this third course in the specialization.\nSo there are three parts to this exercise.\nYou're going to go to the World Bank Data Bank.\nNow this is probably the most used dataset for\neconomists and analysts and it does cover almost every country in the world.\nHere you're going to find some surprises because what I say to you is pick\nany country you want and then look for this data for six consecutive years.\nAnd you will find that sometimes it's hard if you're going to be really brave and\nlook for a country that's somewhat obscure on the international economic scene.\nYou're going to find that you might not get six consecutive years of data, or\nthere might be one piece of data, one variable, that you can't get at all.\nSo look, you're going to have to browse a bit, go to the website, look for\nthese indicators exactly the way I write them out for\nyou because there are more than 1,600 indicators here.\nMake sure you've got the right one, the one I've asked you to look for.\nAnd then browse countries until you find that you can actually get six\nconsecutive years of data for each of these variables.\nYou may have to change countries several times,\nwe're going to break it up into three parts.\nThe first part, we're going to be thinking about the opportunities and\nrisks involved with the market, the market size, the growth in the market.\nThis is important for an investor of a business.\nThe second part, we're going to think about fiscal risks and fiscal\nopportunities, so we're going to look at the fiscal situation of whatever country\nyou've chosen and see what opportunities but especially risks are implicit there.\nAnd then third, we're going to turn to the external account.\nSo mainly the balance of payments.\nWe'll also think about migration.\nAnd based on what you learned in the second course of the specialization.\nThink about what opportunities and risks are involved there.\nNow there won't be one answer for everybody, okay?\nAnd the first two parts of the first two peer reviewed exercises,\nwe were just thinking about Spain.\nAnd so I could tell you what the answers were.\nHere I'm not going to be able to give you a cut and\ndried answers, so you're going to have to evaluate\nhow you did based on our discussion in the feedback video.\nBut the excitement about all of it,\nif you can find the data you can choose any country you want,\nany time period you want, and see what kind of story the data tells you.",

Parameters and Statistics\nThe parameter and the statistic are two alternative numerical measures which\ndescribe the population in the sample.\nWhile a parameter is a numerical measure that describe\na specific characteristic of a population,\nA statistic is a numerical measure that describes a specific\ncharacteristic of a sample.\nThe aim of this lectures is to study ways to make decisions\nabout a population parameter based on a sample statistic.\nWe must keep in mind that a certain degree of uncertainty will always remain.\nIn fact, we do not know the exact value of the parameter.\nWhen we take a sample from the population,\nwe cannot know precisely the population parameter.\nOne source of error could be the so called sampling error.\nThis may result from the fact that information is available\non only a subset of all the population members.\nIt might be also the case in which the error is then connected with\nthe kind of sampling procedure use.\nFor example, if a complete census of the population is taken.\nIn these cases, the errors are called non-sampling errors.\nAs we have seen, the statistical thinking is a process.\nIt starts from problem definition and goes up to the final decision.\nThere are some logical steps we need to follow while using statistics\nIn an analytical way.\nTherefore, once we identify the problem that is the topic on the study\nwe need to understand what information is required.\nWhat is the population we are interested in and\nhow to select our sample which must be representative of the population.\nAnd finally, how to extract information by observing the sample.\nOnce we have done this preliminary and fundamental activity, we collect our data.\nNext we want to know how to use sample information to make\ndecisions about our population of interest.\nThat is after collecting the data, how do we need to\nanalyze the data in order to convert it into knowledge?\nLast, there is something in-between\nthe identification of the problem in the final decision.\nIn particular, we want to know how to use the sample's information.\nIn order to do so, we draw from the experience theory,\nliterature, and more than anything we use additional statistical procedures.\nThe main tools we use in order to transform the data into\nknowledge are descriptive statistics, and inferential statistics.",

Before that discussion begins, the HLS\u2019 Executive Director David Niose gave a brief summary of why this group is so important.\nWho knows? Maybe one day when there\u2019s a more sensible person in the White House looking for advice on which judges to appoint to federal benches, he or she will be able to look for guidance from a group like this one.\nAt least with appointments from the Humanist Legal Society, you wouldn\u2019t have to worry about judges letting the government dictate what a woman can do with her body, or telling business owners that their Christianity gives them the right to discriminate against gay customers.\nWe\u2019re a long way from that ever happening, but this is the first step. It\u2019s a welcome one. Anyone in the legal profession who wants to join can do so right here.\n\"God Spared My Child,\" Says Mother After Branson Boat Tragedy That Killed 17\nJuly 21, 2018 Pastor Robert Jeffress: Why Would White Evangelicals Care About Trump's Affairs?",

        "title": "White Campion, Silene latifolia Poir.",
        "raw_content": "White Campion (White Cockle, Evening Lychnis)\nWhite Campion is an erect annual to short-lived perennial introduced from Europe and naturalized, growing to 40 inches high on stems that have fine hair with glandular hair near the top. Stems branch freely.\nThe leaves are of two types: Leaves at the bottom of the stem are lance shaped, 5x as long as wide, hairy and tapering to a stalk. These are usually gone at flowering time. Stem leaves are opposite, with 6 to 9 pairs on the stem, hairy on both sides, smaller than the lower leaves and stalkless toward the top of the stem.\nThe inflorescence is composed of several many-flowered open clusters which have very small bracts and small stem leaves.\nThe flowers are stalked, 1 to 1-1/3 inches wide when open with 5 white spreading petals that are deeply 2-lobed but may occasionally be un-lobed. Plants are usually dioecious, that is, male and female flowers are on different plants. The calyx is tubular, usually hairy, with 10 prominent veins on male flowers and 20 veins on female flowers. Most calyx tubes are green with dark green veins, some have purplish veins, all with fine hair. Male flowers have 10 stamens, usually equal in length to the calyx. Female flowers have 5 styles, and are slightly longer than the calyx, which becomes inflated to ovoid shape after fertilization. Flowers are slightly fragrant, are open during the day, but may close in the afternoon.\nSeed: Fertile flowers develop into a capsule with 5 valves that are 2-cleft at the apex, giving the appearance of 10 teeth. The numerous seeds are gray to bluish-brown, with warty bumps in concentric rows. When mature the valves at the top of the capsule reflex and the seeds are shaken out by the wind.\nHabitat: White Campion is found in waste places and disturbed sites in various drier soil types and usually in partial shade. The plant grows from a woody taproot.\nNames: The genus, Silene, is from the Greek word seilenos and believed to be derived from Silenus who was the foster father of the Greek god Bacchus. Silenus was described as covered with foam, a reference to the white foam frequently found on stems of this genus. The species, latifolia, is a Latin word applied to plants with wide to broad leaves. In former days this species was classified as Lychnis alba, however, North American members of the genus Lychnis have been reclassified into the genus Silene. The author name for the plant classification - \u2018Poir.\u2019 is for Jean Louis Marie Poiret (1755-1834) French clergyman, botanist and explorer and Professor of Natural History at the Ecoles Centrale of Aisne. The authoritative Flora of North America reports that some references mis-apply S. latifolia to Bladder Campion, whose correct name is S. vulgaris. Also, in Europe, botanists recognize several subspecies, but the plants in North America tend to be intermediate and subspecies are not recognized here.\nComparisons: There are several Silenes with white flowers that may be mistaken for this species. Night-flowering Catchfly, S. noctiflora, is quite similar but the female flowers have 3 styles and of course, the flowers open at night and close in the morning. Starry Campion, S. stellata, has frilly lobes on the petals and leaves in whorls. Evening Campion, S. nivea, has no rib-like veins on the calyx which is bell shaped. Royal Catchfly, Silene Regia, has a red corolla. S. vulgaris, Bladder Campion has a more pronounced inflated calyx with pinkish color and deeper pink veins.\nAbove: Drawing of White Campion by Norman Criddle, 1909.\nBelow: The open flowers have 5 white spreading petals that are deeply 2-lobed but may occasionally by un-lobed. Male (2nd photo) and female (1st photo) flowers are on different plants.\nBelow: 1st photo - The calyx tube has prominent veins which are purple on some plants and green on others. 2nd photo - A female flower of White Campion has 5 styles which are longer than the calyx tube.\nBelow: 1st photo - When a flower becomes fertilized the bladder inflates. 2nd photo - The lower leaves are stalked and 5x as long as wide.\nBelow: Upper stem leaves are stalkless. The upper stem and the stem of the flower cluster have glandular hair. The leaves have fine surface hair on both surfaces.\nBelow: 1st photo - Female flowers have 20 veins on the hairy calyx tube. 2nd photo - Male flowers have 10 veins on the hairy calyx tube. 3rd photo - The stamens of male flowers are no longer than the calyx tube.\nBelow: The seed capsule appears to have a number of triangular flanges at the top opening but there are 5 valves that each have a flange that is cleft into 2 parts at the apex. Each capsule contains up to 50+ small seeds that have rows of concentric bumps.\nNotes: White Campion is a historical Garden plant. Eloise Butler planted the first one on June 12, 1916 with a plant sourced from \"the vicinity of Savage\" (MN). In 1938 Martha Crone noted the species blooming. It was present at the time of her 1951 census, but was missing on the 1986 census. White Campion has naturalized all across the U.S. except for 6 states in the far south. There are twelve Silenes found in Minnesota, 4 native and 8 not native; this species is one of 8 that is not native and is one of the most widespread, being absent mostly in the drier counties of the SW quadrant.\nThe Silenes native to Minnesota are: S. antirrhina, Sleepy Catchfly; S. drummondii, Drummond's Campion; S. nivea, Snowy Campion; and S. stellata, Starry Campion.",

I am not sure if I packed enough food for breakfast and lunch but for the first time in a long time, I was feeling hungry by the afternoon. So, when I got home and packed a heartier lunch and breakfast for tomorrow.\nHere is the update on the wake-up ritual that Weight Watchers suggested. I tried it and it was interesting. It felt a little artificial to wake up, stretch, drink water (with lemon), listen to some uplifting music and read something inspiring as part of my morning routine. Especially before heading out to work. I did like trying it on for size though, know what I mean? Trying new things helps to keep this process fresh and engaging.

This crowning achievement was open for business as the Burlington County Prison in 1811. Robert Mills, one of America\u2019s first native-born, trained architects, came up with a well-thought out plan, which spared this prison what other prisons experienced; fire, destruction and loss of life because of it. The prison has interior vaulted ceilings of poured concrete, and with brick and stone walls, the prison was fire-proof, which gave it a long life, in constant use until 1965.\nThis solid building which was in use for 154 years, had a basement, and two floors, originally built to handle 40 guests of the state. The warden\u2019s house eventually was located next door to the prison, connected by a tunnel.\nOriginally when the prison opened, the warden and his wife lived in two large rooms located on the main floor. The warden\u2019s wife was to supervise the women inmates, while the warden ran the ship as enforcer of the rules of the jail.\nThroughout the prison, cell blocks were organized into units of 4 individual cells, each with its own fireplace, opening off a short hall at each end of the floor. Each cell block held people accused of the similar offense/criminal type & sex. Women inmates, habitual criminals and first offenders were three of the categories, segregated in the housing plan.\nThen, there were those imprisoned because of their debts, still being done in 1811. They were kept in the larger rooms off the main hallways, which could accommodate 3 or 4 men in each room. They were allowed to move about the place in daylight hours and be employed in the basement workshops, probably with the idea of working off their debt.\nThe Basement \u2013 Was designed to house a workshop, where the incarcerated, both men and women, were expected to learn a skill, so that when they had done their time, they had a way to be in lawful employment. The kitchen and all supplies used in prison life were in the basement. Another room in the basement was designed to be the dining room, and a controlled access to the exercise yard, which was surrounded by a twenty foot, imposing wall.\nThe dungeon or maximum security cell was not in the basement but was located in a room in the center of the second floor, surrounded with small areas for guards or visitors, with an iron ring in the center of the floor for the incarcerated person. It was the only room without a fireplace, but had a small window, located high up on the wall. It was a cold place to spend the night, often used for the last night before the condemned would die by hanging out in the yard.\nOutside the main building in the yard there was a area where the inmates could tend a small garden and also a place where a set of leg stocks was located where all could see, for the punishment of uncooperative/rowdy ones, which is a more humane way to punish than what was used in other prisons. There was also a place in the yard for a portable gallows to be put up on the many occasions when people who were convicted of a capitol crime were hung without exception, as authorized by law by the state of New Jersey. All persons who were convicted in Burlington County came here for the carrying out of their sentence. The last such execution was in 1906, a double hanging of the murderous duo, Rufus Johnson and George Small. I guess, after 1906, executions took place in another facility.\nThere were some escapes planned and executed, with a few successfully gaining their freedom, if only for a short time. In 1875, some enterprising souls made a hole in the roof from a cell and then climbed down a huge pile of wood stacked by the prison wall.\nIn 1965, the prison was bursting with 100 inmates so they were moved to a bigger location, an old converted armory located behind the prison. In 1983, a new bigger prison was built somewhere else, becoming the new place of incarceration.\nThe Prison now is a Historic Landmark and a nice museum, a fascinating place to learn about prison life. It still holds a few entities who don\u2019t want to leave. This became evident when in 1999 renovation work began on the run-down building, in order to create this museum for the public.\nThe Prison now is a Historic Landmark and a nice museum, a fascinating place to learn about prison life. It still holds a few entities who choose to stay here. There is much psychic research done to support this haunting of the old prison. Thanks to the brave souls such as the North and South Jersey Paranormal Research groups, who don\u2019t mind rubbing space with the entities there. In a joint effort, they investigated this prison with video, photos, EVP equipment and came up with some interesting results.\n1) During the renovation work, workmen experienced some paranormal activities.\na) They were treated to loud noises, voices and screams from their new friends \u2013 The entities who stayed behind.\nb) The workers would find their tools missing and later found on another floor or other location much later in the day.\nBecause the workers were uneasy being the last ones in the building, they started to leave early, prompting the officials to call in the South Jersey Ghost Research team to confirm or deny the claims of the now scared workers, in order to ease their minds. Dave Juliano of theShadowlands.net was in on these early investigations and saw first hand evidence. This was the first of several investigations.\n2) An apparition was seen in the shower area, and a foot print in the dust was found there as well.\n3) The Maximum Security Cell \u2013 Haunted by entity or entities who spent their last nights here before being hanged.\nJoel Clough, who murdered his lover with blunt force, was hung in 1850. From then on, other prisoners and guards heard his moaning and chain rattling. Objects have been known to move around by themselves, and they actually saw his apparition sitting in the cell.\nPsychic Proof:\nDavid Juliano observed with his team that a stretcher next to the maximum security cell moved by itself, and that the movement sensors were set off by a force in the cell itself.\nSusan Bove (SJPR) meditates in the \u201cDeath Row\u201d cell while two orbs move past.\n4) The gallows which are on display \u2026 are haunted by the condemned. Possible candidates may include convicted murderers Rufus Johnson and George Small, as well as others who were executed here.\nPictures of Orbs have been taken by research members, which are seen in pictures as orbs SJPR\\\n5) The Basement.\na) Someone is still working down in the basement. Orbs have been filmed there\n6) Voices recorded via EVP: nnjpr.org/Burlington.htm\nEntities react to the researchers \u2013 (\u201cGet out of here!\u201d) Or imitate researchers words, (\u201cflash\u201d) or perhaps are reliving old experiences. (\u201cNo!\u201d)\nYes. Most definitely.\nEven though \u201cfreed\u201d from prison through death, they choose to hang around still.\nco.burlington.nj.us * theshadowlands.net\nNew Jersey Haunted House Index * Paranormal Videos",

        "raw_content": "Scientists Just Discovered Something Extraordinary About Iceland\u2019s Huge Volcano Eruption\nbardarbunga caldera\nThe Bardarbunga eruption as seen on September 4, 2014. (Image: Peter Hartree/Flickr)\nTwo years ago, Iceland\u2019s Bardarbunga volcano erupted\u2014and it kept erupting for the next 181 days, forming the largest volcanic depression ever seen. New research reveals the extraordinary processes that transpired beneath the surface, including the formation of a magma-filled canal that measured a whopping 28 miles long.\nThe Bardarbunga volcano began to erupt on August 29, 2014, ending finally on February 27, 2015. It was the strongest in Europe in more than 240 years, emitting large volumes of sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere and causing poor air quality in Iceland.\nThe Bardarbunga eruption produced the biggest caldera formation ever observed. (Image: GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences)\nIt also produced the largest caldera ever observed\u2014a rare and mysterious cauldron-like depression that forms atop volcanoes. Calderas are relatively rare geologic phenomena, occurring only a handful of times each century. Observations are thus exceptionally rare, and scientists are still trying to figure out what causes them and how they work. For example, geologists aren\u2019t entirely sure if calderas are triggered by volcanic eruptions, or vice versa.\nThe Bardabunga caldera and its location in Iceland. (Image: Magn\u00fas T. Gudmundsson et al., 2016/Science)\nThe Bardarbunga eruption provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for scientists to observe the formation of a caldera while it was happening. In a new study published in Science, lead researcher Magnus T. Gudmundsson from the University of Iceland, with the help of geologists from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, describe the Bardarbunga eruption in unprecedented detail.\nTheir analysis revealed surprising insights into calderas and how they emerge. The caldera and subsequent caving-in of the land\u2014a process known as subsidence\u2014began when magma seeped up from a depth of 7 miles (12 km) below the surface. This magma didn\u2019t just shoot straight up\u2014it flowed perpendicular to the surface along an underground canal for a distance of 28 miles (45 km), before erupting as a major lava flow northeast of the actual volcano at a site called Holuhraun.\nA 28-mile-long dike formed beneath the surface, channeling hot magma to the eruption sites at Holuhraun. (Image: Magn\u00fas T. Gudmundsson et al., 2016/Science)\nDuring the course of the eruption, the region experienced no less than 77 earthquakes. Data shows that this flow of magma along the subterranean dike preceded the formation of the caldera, which means it drove the formation of the caldera.\nOver the course of six months, the ice-filled land mass above it sunk down even further, creating a massive bowl-like depression that is characteristic of calderas. During the initial stage, the ground decreased in elevation at a rate of about 3 feet (1 meter) a day. By the end, the caldera measured 5 by 4 miles wide (8 by 7 kilometers), and up to 210 feet (65 meters) deep.\n\u201cWith an area of 110 square kilometers, this is the largest caldera collapse ever monitored,\u201d said geologist Eoghan Holohan, who works at the GFZ. \u201cThe results provide the clearest picture yet of the onset and evolution of this enigmatic geological process.\u201d His team\u2019s work showed that steeply-dipping ring faults controlled the collapse of the surface from intense depths.\nTremors and seismic shocks at the eruption site sent the magma rushing back and forth along the dike, which functioned much like a two-way water hose.\nAn aerial shot shows the forming caldera on October 21, 2014. (Image:Milan Nykodym)\nThe chamber is located beneath Europe\u2019s largest glacier, Vatnajokull, which was (and still is) filled with ice. But the eruption didn\u2019t happen directly beneath the ice. \u201cIn that case, we\u2019d have had a water vapour explosion with a volcanic ash cloud even bigger and longer lasting than the one that followed the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in 2010,\u201d said Thomas Walter from the GFZ.\nFor comparison, the Bardarbunga eruption spewed out two cubic kilometers of volcanic material over the course of several months, nearly ten times more than the Eyjafjallajokull.\nWhat will really happen when the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts?\nLurking beneath Yellowstone National Park is a massive underground reservoir of magma, capped by\u2026\nInsights gleaned over the course of this research project will undoubtedly help scientists understand other calderas, including the ominous kettle located at Yellowstone in the United States, or those in the Andes region. Back in 1815, the Eruption of the Tambora volcano in Indonesia led to a caldera and a devastating tsunami. Volcanic aerosols and ash in the stratosphere brought on the infamous \u201cyear without summer\u201d in 1816.",

She suffered severe injuries, including even skull fractures.\nJury awarded: The case was resolved by $900,000\n\u201cOne night, as I returned home from work, I stopped to buy something at the store. When I came out, I tripped on the cracked sidewalk, fell to the floor and hit my head very hard. The pain was terrible; I couldn\u2019t move. I waited for an ambulance, which took me to the hospital. When the doctors checked me, they found that I had a skull fracture.\nSince that day, my life changed forever and I am not the same. Simple things just aren\u2019t simple anymore. Now everything is very hard to overcome. I haven\u2019t been able to go back to work and I\u2019m not sure if I will ever be able to do so. I am worried about this because, without a job, I will not be able to survive and support my family. Besides, when the accident happened, I did not have health insurance. I didn\u2019t know what to do, what my rights were. I needed to find lawyers that were prepared to win.\nGorayeb & Associates drew my attention because of their slogan: \u2018Lawyers for the People.\u2019 That made me think that, if they call themselves \u2018Lawyers of the People,\u2019 it must be because they care about helping people like me.\nThat\u2019s when I found out that Gorayeb & Associates is a law firm with experience, and that they have won over $350 million for other victims who suffered accidents similar to mine. I liked that.\nThere was yet another thing that caught my eye: They offer transportation from my house to their Manhattan offices. That was a relief, because it was very hard for me to move.\nI met Chris Gorayeb in person, a very pleasant and kind young man. One of his assistants, who spoke perfect Spanish, explained to me the procedure to file a complaint. They understood my situation perfectly. Something inside of me told me that that I would be okay if I chose them as my lawyers. And I was right: They obtained a favorable verdict for me for $900,000 Now, my family and I are much more stable thanks to Gorayeb & Associates.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s a real problem when you go to charge your phone only to find out that your phone isn\u2019t charging. The panic starts to set in when your phone is dead and the charger isn\u2019t working. Yikes! Thankfully this very handy charger is great to use because it is a dual wall charger.\nNote: I received the charger at a discount in exchange for an unbiased review.\nThe dual USB charger makes it so easy to charge two different devices at once. It takes up less space that two separate chargers while at the same time makes it ideal for traveling. If there is only one electrical socket available I can plug this wall charger into the socket and have the advantage of charging two devices. I love that I don\u2019t have to unplug one device to charge another! I don\u2019t have to prioritize what I\u2019m going to charge first, I can charge both at the same time.\nA feature of the charger that makes it very helpful for traveling is that the plug is foldable. It folds into the charger so that it doesn\u2019t take up much room when I\u2019m traveling. When the plug is folded it\u2019s about two inches by two inches. The unit size is a decent size and I can easily put it in my purse or travel bag without it taking up an absurd amount of space.\nI find it to be clever and extremely helpful that the ports light up in a bright blue LED light making it very easy to see the ports in the dark. I can also easily tell if the cord isn\u2019t plugged in thanks to the brightness of the blue LED light. The amount of light emitted from the charger is just enough to see whether or not the cords are inserted into the charger. The blue light isn\u2019t bothersome or distracting to sleep.\nThe cords are secure once I plug them into the device. I have not had any problems with cords falling out once plugged into the ports.\nEach of the ports carry a 12 W voltage which is enough to charge two tablets at the same time without slowing down the charging process.\nI am very pleased with the features and the performance of the charger. I haven\u2019t found any negatives about this product but if after several months of use anything changes, I\u2019ll update.\nThe Amemo dual charger is $9.99 on Amazon. It\u2019s reasonably priced considering it\u2019s a dual charger.\nTags: Amemo Dual USB Wall Charger Electronics & Electronic Accessories Household",

        "raw_content": "Emission vs omission\nEmission and omission are two words that are very close in pronunciation and spelling, but have very different meanings. They are often confused. We will examine the definitions of the words emission and omission, where they came from and some examples of their use in sentences.\nAn emission is a discharge of something. Often, an emission is a release of gas or radiation into the atmosphere, or a discharge of bodily fluid. The word emission is derived from the Latin word emissionem, meaning releasing or sending out. Emission is related to the verb, emit. The plural form of emission is emissions.\nAn omission is something that has been excluded, something left out either by mistake or by design. An omission may be a simple mistake that is easily rectified or a failure to realize a legal or moral obligation, resulting in dire consequences. The word omission, related to the verb omit, is derived from the Latin word omissionem, meaning leaving something out. The plural form of omission is omissions.\nIt is true that coal is the dirtiest fuel with the highest carbon emission coefficient, but it presently plays a vital role in electricity generation worldwide. (The Hindustan Times)\nWHILE rising sea levels pose a threat to low-lying villages throughout Fiji, calls on developed nations to make bold and decisive cuts in carbon emissions is necessary to arrest the current rate of global warming. (The Fiji Times)\nStephen Cluxton\u2019s omission from the football selection seemed to be the main talking point at Friday night\u2019s ceremony at the Convention Centre in Dublin, the three-in-a-row winning captain of the Dublin team missing out in favour of Mayo\u2019s David Clarke for the second year running. (The Irish Times)\nSeveral commentators have suggested this flap is particularly embarrassing on account of it being Trudeau\u2019s second omission of Jews in a Holocaust statement (the first being his 2016 proclamation on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.)

        "title": "How to Use England, Great Britain, United Kingdom Correctly \u2013 Grammarist",
        "raw_content": "England, Great Britain, United Kingdom\n(Note: This post is meant for geographically challenged American readers.)\nThe British Isles are the group of islands northwest of continental Europe. The main islands are Great Britain and Ireland, and there are thousands of smaller ones.\nGreat Britain is the largest of the British Isles, comprising the countries of England, Scotland, and Wales. It was originally named Great Britain to differentiate it from Lesser Britain, which denoted the region of modern-day Brittany in France. The name Great Britain stuck even after Brittany was incorporated into France.\nGreat Britain is sometimes shortened in speech and writing to just Britain, and Britain is also sometimes used as shorthand for the United Kingdom as a whole.\nEngland is the largest country on the island of Great Britain. It borders the country of Wales to the west and the country of Scotland to the north.\nThe United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy comprising England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This is where things can get confusing. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have governments of their own, although they all fall under the power of the parliamentary system with its capital in London. The state also holds three Crown Dependencies and a number of overseas territories that are not constitutionally part of the U.K.\nUnless you wish to cause offense (or offence, in British English), referring to Welsh or Scottish people as British is not a good idea. Foreigners can usually be forgiven for the lapse in decorum, but Welsh and Scottish are preferred. There are some complex historical issues behind these names, and we should always try to call people what they call themselves.\nOf course, the Republic of Ireland (which shares the island of Ireland with the U.K. country of Northern Ireland) is not part of the U.K., so to refer to people from Ireland as British or English is wholly inappropriate (even though Ireland is in the British Isles).\nmito0 says:\na similar entry should be made for \u201cholland\u201d vs \u201cthe netherlands.\u201d\nthe country as a whole is properly called \u201cthe netherlands.\u201d\n\u201cholland\u201d refers to two counties, north and south holland, within the netherlands.\ncalling the netherlands \u201cholland\u201d would be akin to calling the united states \u201ctexas.\u201d\nScottish or Welsh people are not necessarily against being called British, it is personal preference. I myself am British, but I am also English. There are plenty of Welsh Brits or British Scots. Many Northern Irish also insist they are British and not just Irish.\nYou can see why we get confused.\nyoowin says:\nI am Scottish and don\u2019t object to being called British. It is quite correct. I do, however, object to being called English, because I am not! However where people from outside the UK are concerned I understand that the distinction between England/Britain/UK causes confusion so it isn\u2019t really a big deal (although I will correct them!) What is genuinely annoying is English people calling the whole of the UK \u2018England\u2019.",

Please try a hard refresh of the page to update the stylesheet and images.\nI agree I\u2019m a bit early in my update cycle. For a while I had standardised on restyling every two years. This update comes exactly one year after the last one.\nThe previous design was fun to make, but it was really, really dark. It quickly became clear that a refresh would have to be lighter. That would help to make the site more readable.\nWell, it\u2019s not night any more. Also, I think the addition of some fresh colour really improves the experience. Beside the obvious visual change, I played a bit with CSS3 properties. This means the site doesn\u2019t look that nice on Internet Explorer, because that one doesn\u2019t support any of that. The site looks best on the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari. Also, windows users should really activate Cleartype. And Internet Explorer 6 users should really just leave. I don\u2019t cater to obsolete software.\nI\u2019ve been working on the photo albums. The images in them were really small. A few months now I\u2019ve been experimenting with bigger images, and finally settled on 600\u00d7400 pixels. I already updated a few albums with rescaled images.\nThe comment section looks a bit nicer, and I spent a bit more time on icons in the site. I hope you like it.",

        "raw_content": "By Guillermo Posted on August 31, 2018 September 10, 2018 Category :\nMany people in these days are trying to lose weight, there are several reasons why people are trying to lose weight, been one of them and the most important, good health.\nIt\u2019s already evident and shown by many scientific studies that obesity is one of the main reasons for most health problems like, heart attack, type 2 diabetes, High blood pressure, gallbladder disease, some cancers, etc.\nSo, besides looking good and feeling more vibrant and energetic when we are in shape and our body is clean of toxins, it\u2019s no wonder why everyone is trying to lose weight nowadays. But not only that, there is another ingredient to that, \u201cwe want to lose weight quick\u201d.\nOne of the problems that when we start losing weight, or after we lose all the weight we needed is to keep it off. With that in mind I have written this article, to give you the fundamentals of losing weight and maintain it off.\n1- Eat Nutrient Dense Food.\nSome diets plan will make you eat less sometimes depriving your body from the nutrients it needs to function. Regardless of the diet plan you are going to follow procure eating nutrient dense food.\nThe nutrient dense foods are foods that give you more nutrients per calories, giving you the freedom to eat more, makes you feel satiated for longer periods of time and also nourishing our bodies. Eating this type of foods will make you lose weight fast and naturally and you won\u2019t need to starve yourself.\nRemember this, is not only about how many calories you should be eating to lose weight, but also the quality of calories, not all calories are created equal.\nHere are some examples of those foods:\n2- Exercise.\nExercising should be part of your life. Exercises are good for our overall health and everyone needs it. It helps you stay strong and healthy as you age and to burn fat and calories to lose weight.\nAmong the benefits of exercising are: Improve your mood, keeps bones and muscles density as we age, increase energy levels, help you sleep better, etc.\nIf you are reading this you probably want to lose weight and as a personal advice I will tell you to start practicing some sport if you can, cause you can make exercise while having fun and share with other people. But probably the best exercises to lose weight fast are HIIT or TABATA that are almost the same thing.\n3- Support.\nYou need support yes or yes. You have to set up one or more persons that are close to you, and these persons will be your support, they will be motivating you, helping you, if possible they will be making exercises with you.\nI\u2019m telling you this is very important, cause you are going to have moments when you\u2019ll want to quit, and those are the persons that will not let you quit. Another option can be finding a support group which you can join. And one day you will be the one supporting another person.\n4- Motivation.\nAlways have in mind the reason why you start. Think about health in a more open way, think that not only you need you healthy, but also your family, spouse, children, friends, etc.\nMotivation is very important in this journey. Together with your support person or team, keep yourself motivated. Take pictures of yourself and compare, weight yourself about every week, and write down the results. I have found that there is nothing more motivating that results.\nI want to make you conscious of the motivation killers so you don\u2019t let them kill yours. These are the most dangerous enemies of our goals. Among those are the thoughts of not having a certain type of food anymore, not seeing the results we were expecting, sometimes it can be words coming from people, etc.\nYou are aware about motivation killers now, so when they come your way don\u2019t let them crush you, keep consistent, keep moving forward. Remember this, the only ones who will not get results are those who quit.\n5- Make Goals.\nPersonally when I set goals to what I want to accomplish the possibilities that I will get it raises a 90%. The difference between a dream and a goal is the date. Let say you want to lose at least 40 pounds. That is what you want, now you sit down and calculate that you can lose 10 pounds by month in average, so you set a goal to lose those 40 pounds in 4 months.\nAnd you have a goal set up already, you follow that by breaking it into smaller goals if needed, let say, 10 pounds per month, or 2.5 pounds per week. After breaking your goal into smaller goals you make a plan to action and you act on it. I assure you that it will be a lot easier to make your weight lose a reality.\nAs humans when we think about losing 40 pounds it might seem impossible, but if you break it into 10 per month then it looks a lot more doable.\n6- Change your Mentality.\nThis advice will wrap all others. Eating the right food, exercising and keeping motivated will stay steady over time with a change of mentality, a change of how you see things, how you see food. This is something that will take some time to completely change your mind, but, Do you want to keep your extra pounds off? Then you need it.\nThese are some key points to change your mentality about food:\nForget about making a new diet. Think on changing the way you eat, start by cutting out the foods that you know are making you fat. And start adding foods that are good for you, until you get a sustainable healthy diet. Read this post to learn more about introducing healthy foods to your diet.\nMake the same with exercise, don\u2019t think to make a program of exercise until you get those pounds off, think about introducing exercises to your life style. But if you do, then before starting you have to know what you are going to do when that program is finished.\nIn Conclusion losing weight and maintain it off it\u2019s a matter of dedication and a change on our life style. You don\u2019t wanna be in a yo-yo diet, you don\u2019t want to look like a pharmacy as you age. But I\u2019m sure that if you can follow these tips, you will be able to lose weight quick and keep it off for the rest of your life.\nWhat do you think about these tips? Did you like them? Is there any other thing you know it\u2019s need it to lose weight fast and maintain it off? Feel free to leave it in the comments below.\ntips/ weight lose\n6 thoughts on \u201cHow to lose weight quick and keep it off.\u201d\nHi! Nice article on the weight loss! I agree with you on these points. I just want to add one more: Drink plenty of water!! It worked for me. I also have more energy.\nI do have a question, hoping you can clarify. You talked about the \u201cquality of calories\u201d, what do you mean? I never really think about the quality of calories.\nHi Kai, I\u2019m glad you like it, and as you said drinking enough water is also very important, I missed that point. About the calories quality, I\u2019m going to write about that soon, but to give you a quick explanation let me put an example. If you drink a can of soda, you\u2019ll have 150 calories, you will drink a lot of added sugars, you\u2019ll probably be still hungry and it does nothing good for your body, the opposite it gives your body more work to do by finding a place to storage that extra sugar and how to get rid of it later. But if you eat 150 calories of carrots, you will have sugar of course, but with those sugars you\u2019ll have the fibers so the body can quickly use the sugar it needs and send the other to the toilet, also within the same 150 calories you will get vitamins and minerals that will improve your eyesight, boost your immune system regulate blood pressure and sugar levels and reduce riak of cancer, plus you will feel more satisfy. That is an example of the quality of calories.\nHi, very good article. I think all the things you point out are important. Most you can do on your own, but sometimes it\u2019s hard to be motivated if you don\u2019t have a good support system in place. I think this is the most difficult part of following your guidelines on nutrition. A number of years ago I lost weight and got to the weight that I wanted to be at. I have been able to maintain this weight give or take 2-3 pounds, and it has been very satisfying. I eat right and exercise regularly. This helps. I\u2019ll read some of your other posts. Great job!\nHi Bob, thanks for passing by, I\u2019m glad you like the post.\nI\u2019m agree with you about the support and motivation part, and that is why I mentioned that here, I was helping a few friends in the month of June, to lose some weight, and I realized that that was the missing part in their journey.\nI have often been experiencing a yo-yo effect in my weight loss.\nDo you have a main tip that could help me stop this?\nAlso, great informative article. I appreciate the post!\nHi Russell, thanks for passing by. One of the most common things that provokes the yo-yo effect in weight loss, is going into unsustainable diets. Instead of trying one new diet, start making changes on the way you eat and the foods you eat. Focus on making changes that you can sustain in the long term. Also watch over your stress levels and rest. Hope that helps. Stay tune there are more interesting things coming soon, like healthy habits that can save your life.",

        "raw_content": "8 Ways of Loving Yourself\nAs you gather up holiday gifts for loved ones, be sure to also treat yourself. Not with another purse, shirt, or pair of shoes, but with one or more of these relaxing gifts. Love yourself by making the time and creating the space needed to achieve the mind-body balance that helps you stay happy and healthy.\nTips for Taking Care of YOU!\nEarthing (also known as grounding) is my list topper because it has such a profound effect on the way your body works and how you feel. Earthing is soaking up the Earth\u2019s natural, subtle surface energy by walking barefoot outside, as humans have done throughout history (but which we no longer do). Just make sure your bare feet are touching the ground when you\u2019re sitting, standing or even lying down outside. You can also ground by sitting, working, or sleeping indoors using Earthing devices designed to transfer the energy from the ground into your body.\nBreathe, empty your mind, and just be\u2026 We live in stressful times and we need a simple tool to use on a regular basis to keep the stress from compromising our health. Meditation can do so much for your inner stability, calmness, happiness, and health. All that you need to do to get started, is to set aside a small amount of time as often as you can. There are many different forms of meditation. The most popular and scientifically validated practice is Transcendental Meditation (TM). If working with a live teacher or group is not for you, there are plenty of good meditation CDs and DVDs out there.\n3. Book a Massage, Or Better Yet, a Series of Massages\nResearch clearly shows benefits of massage therapy for a wide range of medical conditions, including arthritis, pain, and rehabilitation from injury. Many physicians prescribe massage as a standard part of treatment programs and hospitals are increasingly bringing massage therapists on staff. Massage, of course, makes you feel good. It does that, according to the American Massage Therapy Association, by reducing your heart rate and blood pressure, increasing blood circulation and lymph flow, relaxing muscles, alleviating muscle spasm, improving range of motion, and boosting endorphins and serotonin: chemicals in the body related to feeling good and feeling calm.\nSuch facilities, also called destination spas, usually involve a stay of at least two or three nights with meals, classes, and some treatments included in the tab. They focus on fitness, healthy eating, relaxation and recharging your batteries. Some spas are geared toward weight loss, others the yoga lifestyle. This article can help you choose a spa that will best fit your needs.\nWe all need time off. A vacation is good for the body and soul, and also the heart. One study showed that frequency of vacations was a significant factor in reducing the risk of death during a nine-year follow-up period among more than twelve thousand men. The cause of death most strongly associated with vacationing frequency was coronary artery disease. Another study, among women, indicated that those taking a vacation every six years or less were almost eight times more likely to develop heart disease or have a heart attack than those who took at least two vacations a year. So vacations equate to living longer. And, according to a Swedish study, the personal restoration you achieve by taking time off also benefits those around you and society in general. So you are doing yourself a favor as well as others!\n6. Take Yoga, Pilates or Tai Chi Classes\nThese forms of movement and mental focus can do so much for you. I know first-hand, because I have practiced them for years, and finally settled into a yoga-Pilates regime that I combine with walking. The studio I go to is within walking distance from my home, and that is important because convenience is KEY in maintaining whatever program you choose. Yoga enhances stress relief, pain relief, flexibility, breathing, circulation, cardiovascular conditioning, and even weight management. Tai chi produces many benefits, including improved bone density, balance (suggesting potential to reduce falls), immunity, and quality of life in both healthy and unhealthy adults. Pilates helps strengthen core muscles to increase strength, flexibility and co-ordination. Not to mention, they are all great for brain health, as is learning anything new!\n7. Sign Up for Cooking Classes\nLearning to cook is an activity you can have fun doing; it allows you to be creative, and you can get a lot of gratification from using your new cooking skills. You can enroll in classes anywhere: as near as your local community college or as far as another country, where you can learn to cook their unique cuisine. You can even create a vacation around finding, eating, and learning to cook the healthful meals that excite you most. Additionally, cooking is a great way to be connected to others in a positive process. For some tasty inspiration, check out my healthy cooking video series on the website.\n8. Give of Your Time to People You Care For.\nOften, that\u2019s the best gift you can give anyone. Make a beautiful meal, or go for a walk together. Treat a loved one to a movie, or to a coffee. Put aside a little extra time to cuddle with your beloved, furry, four legged pals. Volunteer your time to a charity. How does volunteering qualify as loving yourself? You may be surprised to know that whenever you serve others you are the first beneficiary of your act of kindness. Your giving is simultaneously an act of receiving. Doing good deeds immediately generates the \u201chelper\u2019s high,\u201d a state of euphoria, increased energy, and general well-being.\nThese eight items are just a small sampling of the many wonderful things you can do to love yourself and bring better health into your life. Sometimes you have to put yourself first and recharge, pamper, and enjoy a much needed and well deserved time out. Don\u2019t put it off. Treat yourself periodically, and reap the benefits!\nBrooks G, Matthews K. Are Vacations Good for Your Health? The 9-Year Mortality Experience After the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial.

        "raw_content": "Time appears to pass way too quickly sometimes \u2013 it\u2019s already the end of the year again! Japan and significantly Tokyo could be a nice option to visit for a brand new Year\u2019s trip. The culture surrounding New Year\u2019s is maybe immensely completely different in Japan from what you\u2019re used to. Whereas it\u2019s celebrated on Dec 31rd, like in the West, you won\u2019t notice many of us heading out for crazy partying. Instead, New Year\u2019s may be a family festival wherever folks have day off to travel to their town, visit their family, and interact in a whole set of traditional customs and rites. Whereas several of Tokyo\u2019s retailers will shut early, there are still several fun shopping opportunities and in the evening, you\u2019ll wish to get ready to greet the New Year. We\u2019ve compiled the best spots in Tokyo for experiencing New Year\u2019s customs, saturate your party desire, and get some shopping done!\nZojo-ji is an ancient temple that dates back to 1393, located right at the foot of the romantic Tokyo Tower. You\u2019re greeted by a large, vermilion-lacquered gate referred to as\u201cSangedatsumon.\u201d it\u2019s survived the war almost unharmed and still stands because the original gate of the time of construction in the early Edo period. The temple and its ground emit a splendidly peaceful atmosphere, but most Japanese folks are aware of it for the mausoleum of the Tokugawa Shoguns.\nOn New Year\u2019s Eve of every year, locals and tourists visit Zojo-ji Temple to do \u201chatsumode,\u201d the standard initial shrine or temple visit of the year. The grounds begin to get crowded at around 10:00 p.m. in the evening and therefore the arrival of the New Year is then celebrated by a monk ringing a bell specifically 108 times. According to Buddhist belief, this tradition is done to be cleansed of the 108 worldly wishes. What might sound rather grim and formal is truly a rather joyous event and therefore the temple is stuffed with a warm, lively atmosphere.\nThe lit-up Tokyo Tower in the background solely adds to the experience. Along with the countdown for the New Year, the number of the year displayed on the famous landmark changes, making for an exciting moment and exciting scenery. Japan\u2019s famous coexistence between trendy and traditional can nowhere be as vividly felt as at Zojo-ji Temple.\nYokohama\u2019s New Year\u2019s countdown is exceptionally fun and lively because it takes place right at the port. When Japan signed a treaty of commerce with the U. S. in 1858, following two hundred years of seclusion, Yokohama has experienced an influx of Western culture. Thus, it\u2019s one amongst the few places in Japan that celebrates New Year\u2019s with fireworks and an entire heap of parties. We especially suggest Yokohama Hakkeijima Ocean Paradise for an exquisite, Western-style New Years\u2019 experience. Throughout the day, the place is both aquarium and amusement park in one, while illuminations light up the area when the sun has set. On top of that, look forward to a 10-Minute long firework show that greets the New Year. The colourful spectacle reflected on the ocean is a breathless sight.\nAfter the fireworks, enjoy yourself the entire night \u2013 but undoubtedly stay around! There\u2019s few additional lovely scenery than the first sunrise of the year dipping the port in soft, orange light, the mountains of the Boso peninsula in the background.\nAs already mentioned, the Japanese method of celebrating New Year\u2019s is to go to a shrine or temple with one\u2019s family. It\u2019s entirely totally different from the loud and spirited fireworks and parties you would possibly be wont to. We tend to named Zojo-ji as associate example of that, however with its closeness to Yeddo Tower and its reckoning, it fuses Japanese with Western traditions. If you wish the complete solely in Japan experience, we extremely suggest finding a captivating temple near your accommodation \u2013 it doesn\u2019t need to be an enormous place in any respect.\nThere, you\u2019ll be able to experience the 108 rings of the bell during a quieter atmosphere and through an unfiltered, ancient lens.\nNew Year Hours for popular Temples\nCountdown events are a well-liked New Year\u2019s interest all over the globe and conjointly in Japan. However, there\u2019s one issue that\u2019s even more popular: looking the first sunrise of the year. With its several skyscrapers and observation decks, Tokyo is the good place to do just that! As already mentioned, the Port of Yokohama is additionally decent alternative and if you are feeling like venturing into nature, celebrating New Year\u2019s on a mountain is additionally a gorgeous choice.\nIf you\u2019re searching for a classic New Year\u2019s party with lots of drinks, dancing, and music, head to Roppongi. The world is known for its several clubs and a favourite nightlife hotspot particularly for locals and tourists from the West.

        "raw_content": "If you've ever applied for credit or a loan at any stage in your life it\u2019s likely that you have a credit report against your name.\nA credit report records certain dealings you may have had with credit providers and contains a history of overdue debt, defaults and credit applications. It can be accessed by businesses and lenders to determine your suitability for a financial product, a line of credit or for a service, like a mobile phone plan.\nThe information collected about you is used to determine your credit score, a three digit rating out of 1000 that reflects your overall creditworthiness.\nSo, what exactly does a credit score say about you?\nIn some ways, a credit score is a number that represents your overall financial housekeeping habits; it tells lenders and service providers how much risk you represent as a borrower by reviewing how you manage your financial responsibilities.\nYour credit score is based on a range of factors such as: your age, income and employment history; car and home ownership; number of credit cards and credit providers; loans including home loans and mortgage offset accounts; payment habits on loans and services; overdue accounts on services and utilities; and bankruptcies or insolvencies, just to name a few. It is also influenced by records of your behaviour in relation to the number of credit applications you have made over a period of time i.e. if you have been shopping around for different credit options, whether you have outstanding notices or unused accounts, and if court judgments or a writ of summons exists under your name.\nYour credit score is most commonly used by lenders, who assess your score against their own lending rules when evaluating your application for a loan. Where you are approved for a loan, lenders may assign interest rates on the loan after evaluating your credit history. Financial institutions sometimes use credit information available to them to target their marketing. For example, if you have recently repaid a loan, you may find you are soon contacted with other offers of credit. Similarly, where your income increases, your existing financial institution may extend further facilities to you.\nHow can you manage your credit score?\nYour credit report is subject to privacy legislation. You can find out your individual credit score and the factors that contribute to it by contacting a credit reporting body. Importantly, where you suspect errors in the information contained in your credit report, it pays to have these resolved so that they do not impact you in future. Perhaps there is an outstanding account you have forgotten about, or an old utilities bill that you haven\u2019t paid? These factors can influence your access to credit and are worth attending to. In some cases, incorrect information may alert you to identity theft or cyber criminals.\nSome common errors in credit reports can be:\nA debt may have been listed twice or the amount is incorrect;\nOne repayment was missed on a loan but a full 60 days in default is listed; or\nCredit may have been used under stolen identity.\nRemember, a credit report is the document containing the information about your credit history, and your credit score is the overall score assigned to you based on the information in your credit report. If you still have questions about how your credit history is measured and reported, you can find more information here.",

        "title": "ICYMI: Notable February Free Agent Signings That We Missed | Home Run Daily",
        "raw_content": "As we flip the calendar from February to March, Spring Training games are in full force, and only about four weeks remain until Opening Day. We\u2019re finally in the home stretch!\nFebruary was a month that saw some of the biggest free agent names on the market finally agree to deals with new teams, most notably Yu Darvish, Eric Hosmer, and JD Martinez, which didn\u2019t go uncovered by our team.\nAside from those three names, there were plenty of additional Major League signings. Some players went to new clubs, while others returned to their most recent ones. So, without further ado, let\u2019s recap some of the deals that we missed on our site- most notably since February 13.\n2/13- Tampa Bay Rays agree to one-year, $2.5 million deal with RHP Sergio Romo. Romo, 34, posted a 1.47 ERA in 25 games for Tampa Bay in 2017 after the team acquired him from the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he had a 6.12 ERA in 30 games. Prior to pitching for the Dodgers and Rays, Romo was a nine-year member of the San Francisco Giants (2008-16). Overall, Romo has a career 2.69 ERA in 570 games (all in relief).\n2/14- St. Louis Cardinals agree to one-year, $3 million deal with RHP Bud Norris. The nine-year, 33-year-old veteran has pitched for six teams since 2009, and has a career record of 64-84 with a 4.49 ERA in 291 games (188 starts). In 2017, he pitched for the Los Angeles Angels, going 2-6 with a 4.21 ERA in 60 games (three starts) while recording 19 saves in 23 chances.\n2/15- Baltimore Orioles agree to two-year, $16 million deal with RHP Andrew Cashner with a $10 million vesting option for 2020. Cashner, 31, joins the Orioles\u2019 rotation after enjoying a solid 2017 season for the Texas Rangers where he went 11-11 with a 3.40 ERA in 28 games/starts. Cashner has pitched for four teams since 2010, and has a career record of 42-64 with a 3.80 ERA in 230 games (137 starts; 131 since 2013).\n2/15- Toronto Blue Jays agree to one-year, $8 million deal with LHP Jaime Garcia. Garcia pitched for three teams in 2017 (Braves, Twins, Yankees), going 5-10 with a 4.41 ERA in 27 games/starts, a year after going 10-12 with a 4.67 ERA for the Cardinals. The 31-year-old\u2019s career ERA in nine seasons (since 2008, missed 2009) is 3.69 (was 3.31 before 2016). Garcia looks to regain the type of success he had as an eight-year member of the Cardinals.\n2/17- Los Angeles Dodgers agree to two-year, $2 million deal with 2B Chase Utley. The 39-year-old Utley has been with the Dodgers since August 2015 after spending the first 13 years of his career as a Philadelphia Phillie. Utley\u2019s a career .276/.359/.469 hitter with 258 homers, and has hit .240 with the Dodgers, and went 0 for 15 in last year\u2019s World Series playoff run.\n2/18- Boston Red Sox agree to one-year, $4 million deal with 2B Eduardo Nunez. Nunez\u2019s deal comes with a $4 million player option for 2019 which includes a $2 million buyout. Nunez hit .319/.353/.539 in 38 games for the Red Sox last year after being acquired from the San Francisco Giants, and provides insurance at second base with Dustin Pedroia\u2019s health in question.\n2/19- Arizona Diamondbacks agree to two-year, $7.5 million deal with CF Jarrod Dyson. The speedy 33-year-old has swiped 204 bases in 241 attempts in his eight Major League seasons since 2010. He spent the first seven with the Royals, and was a Seattle Mariner in 2017, stealing 28 bases with a career-high five homers. Overall, Dyson\u2019s a .258/.325/.352 career hitter with 12 dingers, 32 triples, and 131 RBIs.\n2/19- San Francisco Giants agree to two-year, $7-9 million deal with LHP Tony Watson. Watson, 32, is an eight-year veteran for the Pittsburgh Pirates (2011-17) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2017). In 474 career games (all in relief), he has a career record of 33-17 with a 2.68 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. This past year for Pittsburgh and LA, he went 7-4 with a 3.38 ERA in 71 games.\n2/21- Miami Marlins agree to one-year, $3.25 million deal plus incentives with OF Cameron Maybin. The 2017 World Series champion returns to his former club, whom he played for from 2008-10. In 11 seasons for six teams since 2007, the 30-year-old is a career .255/.321/.372 hitter with 56 homers, 287 RBIs, and 164 steals. This past season for the Angels and Astros, Maybin hit .228 in 395 at-bats with 10 homers and 33 steals.\nSo, there you have it, some of the notable Major League free agent signings from the month of February that we missed! There were several Minor League signings too, with some notable names being Derek Holland, Wade Miley, Trevor Plouffe, Craig Breslow, Jason Motte, Fernando Abad, Peter Bourjos, Michael Saunders, and Erick Aybar.\nFor a full list of February free agent signings and other transactions, click here.\nRelated Topics:American Leaguefree agent signingsMLBNational League",

        "raw_content": "Erin Molan on baby Eliza: 'The most incredible thing we've ever done'\n'I could never have ever imagined loving anything more'\nErin Molan is loving life as a mum, and she's already found herself repeating things her own mother used to say, when she was a child.\n\"She's healthy and happy and we're just very blessed,\" Molan tells 9Honey of her daughter, Eliza Emily.\n\"I remember my mum saying to people, when we were young and growing up, 'as long as they're healthy and happy I couldn't care what they do for a living, or what they look like, or anything else' and it's so true.\n\"You've got the lottery if you have healthy, happy kids.\"\nThe Nine News journalist and NRL Footy Show host gave birth in early June.\n\"We're 15 days into parenthood and it's tiring but the most incredible thing we've both ever done,\" Molan says, referring to herself and fianc\u00e9 Sean Ogilvy.\"I have such a newfound respect and appreciation for mothers and fathers, let me tell you.\"\nMolan admitted she was in for a pleasant surprise when Eliza arrived.\n\"People told me what it would be like but I think until you've been there and done it, I could never have fathomed what the experience would be like or could have ever imagined loving anything more than I love her.\n\"It's just incredibly special.\"\nOne thing Molan is enjoying the most about motherhood is getting up in the middle of the night to breastfeed Eliza, even though she\u2019s more tired than ever.\n\u201cShe\u2019s a milk monster and wants to feed almost every hour. She feeds, then settles then feeds again \u2013 it\u2019s just constant. But if pure exhaustion is the worst of it then we\u2019re doing absolutely fine.\u201d\nUnlike many women who struggle to breastfeed, Molan is thankful she\u2019s had no issues so far.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a shock to the system her being that reliant on me \u2013 for food, for life \u2013 it\u2019s really special though and I really love those moments when she and I are just lying there, in the dark.\n\u201cI sure will miss it when it comes to an end.\u201d\nBut Molan hasn\u2019t been alone in handling the night feeds.\n\u201cI can\u2019t fault Sean at all because he gets up every single time with me but [breastfeeding] really is the one thing he can\u2019t do \u2013 he\u2019s the main nappy changer.\u201d\nMolan and Ogilvy have taken a relatively carefree approach to parenting. They didn\u2019t have a birth plan because they had full trust in their obstetrician, Dr John Grey, who Molan describes as \u201cthe best human being in the world\u201d.\nListen to this week's Honey Mums podcast, hosted by Deborah Knight who speaks with guest Kerri Sackville, who had a marriage breakdown after 17 years and is now back on the dating scene, Jo Abi talks about teaching kids how to look after themselves and psychologist Sandy Rea gives her tips on how to not over-cram your kids with after-school activities.\nThe sports journalist went into labour the night before the first State of Origin game, her labour lasting 10 hours before she was taken into theatre for an emergency caesarean.\n\u201cI had meconium in my water which is very, very dangerous,\u201d Molan remembers.\n\u201cIt wasn\u2019t ideal but I didn\u2019t know what to expect [with the birth]. It was very scary and I was sick the whole time from the drugs they had given me.\u201d\nMolan says she \u201chad the best of both worlds\u201d getting to experience natural labour and having a c-section.\n\u201cMy lordy those contractions hurt,\u201d she laughs.\n\u201cBut I don\u2019t even remember much about it \u2013 they say the pain disappears and it\u2019s actually true!\u201d\nAnd Ogilvy was by her side the whole time.\n\u201cHe cut the umbilical cord which was very special. He really looked after me and when she came out, he went straight to see her.\n\u201cI was expecting a little blonde baby but she was like a mini Sean. She\u2019s a bit more like me now, her nose and eyes.\u201d\nWhen asked about the moment she first held her daughter, Molan is initially lost for words.\n\u201cI actually hadn\u2019t really thought about that before now,\u201d she tells 9Honey.\n\u201cI do remember seeing the top of her head when they pulled her out and I wanted her to come to me straight away.\n\u201cWow, it\u2019s still so emotional,\u201d she pauses, saying, \u201cI was really anxious and once I heard she was perfect, great and healthy I was happy.\n\u201cI think more than anything I was in shock and I was still so sick.\n\u201cI just couldn\u2019t believe we had created something so perfect because the two of us really are far from it.\u201d\nMore than anything, Molan is thankful Eliza is healthy.\n\u201cParenting is so hard and that\u2019s with a healthy child so I can\u2019t imagine what parents go through if their baby is sick.\n\u201cSean is such a big help with everything \u2013 he\u2019s just a great dad and makes what I\u2019m doing so much easier.\n\u201cI look back at what my mum went through \u2013 she had three kids under three and dad was away in the Army \u2013 and I don\u2019t know how people do it alone.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the hardest job in the world and I\u2019ve heard others say that and now I can say it just after two weeks.\u201d\nSince Eliza\u2019s arrival, the couple has been inundated with well-wishes from friends, family and viewers who\u2019ve followed Molan\u2019s pregnancy journey.\n\u201cWe really wanted to introduce Eliza to everyone and thank all the wonderful people who\u2019ve sent messages and who have supported us,\u201d Molan says.\n\u201cI\u2019ve received thousands of messages on social media from lovely fans who\u2019ve said they can\u2019t wait to see Eliza.\n\u201cThis has been the most incredible experience and it\u2019s amazing how quickly you can fall in love with someone.\n\u201cShe has become our entire world.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Serena Williams' response to catsuit 'ban' is all class\nTotally ludicrous\nUPDATE: Serena Williams has addressed the controversy surrounding French Tennis Federation's recent ban of the Nike catsuit she wore to compete in the French Open in May.\nWhen asked at a recent press conference what she thought of the recent changes to the dress code, Williams responded with a typically legendary response.\n\"When it comes to fashion, you don't want to be a repeat offender,\" Williams deadpanned at the US Open over the weekend.\nThe 36-year-old star wore a black bodysuit for the match specifically to assist with her health concerns after giving birth to daughter, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr., in 2017.\nThe suit \u2013 which Williams said made her feel like a \"superhero\" \u2013 was designed to help the new mum's circulation and help prevent blood clots.\nRELATED: Serena Williams sends fan into hysterics\n\"I've had a lot of problems with my blood clots,\" she told NPR.\n\"God I don't know how many I've had in the past 12 months.\n\"I've been wearing pants in general a lot when I play so I can keep the blood circulation going.\"\nWhen asked during the US Open press conference how she would approach future outfits, she said that she's \"found other methods\" to prevent the blood clots she experiences.\nWilliams also insisted there is no bad blood between herself and French Tennis Federation's president Bernard Giudicelli.\n\"We have a great relationship,\" she explained. \"Everything's fine, guys.\"\nOn Friday, Giudicelli said he's instituted a stricter dress code for the French Open because he doesn't want to see the US tennis star in a cat suit on his court.\n\"I think that sometimes we've gone too far,\" Giudicelli told Tennis Magazine, singling out the cat suit Serena wore for round one of the tournament this year.\n\"It will no longer be accepted. One must respect the game and the place.\"\nAccording to The Associated Press, the federation will be asking the brands who designed players' outfits for the 2019 tournament for an early look at their uniforms.\nAfter news of the French Open ban broke, Tennis fans and legends alike have taken to Twitter to show their support of Williams.\n\"The policing of women's bodies must end,\" Billie Jean King tweeted.\n\"The 'respect' that's needed is for the exceptional talent @serenawilliams brings to the game. Criticizing what she wears to work is where the true disrespect lies.\"\nRELATED: Serena Williams reveals postnatal depression struggle: 'There's no escaping the fear'\nNike \u2014 the brand that designed Williams's catsuit \u2014 also tweeted its support of the tennis champion.\n\"You can take the superhero out of her costume, but you can never take away her superpowers,\" the tweet read along with a black-and-white photo of Williams at the French Open.\nWilliams is currently competing in the US Open.",

Including provisions on the right to erasure, binding corporate rules, and data breaches, the regulation will transform the privacy landscape known today.\nTo facilitate analysis of where global business input on the regulation will be most useful, ICC\u2019s Commission on the Digital Economy is publishing its second edition of the inventory to make it widely available. It will be used to identify where further guidance or implementing regulations will be promulgated and to convene global business input on those articles of the regulation where business practical experience and expertise could offer most insight. ICC hopes it will encourage other business organizations to work collectively on implementation cooperatively to cover all topics that need to be addressed to maximize the benefit to our collective memberships.\nThe GDPR has replaced the Directive 95/46/EC which was enacted in 1995, and will significantly change EU data protection laws. Entering into force on 24 May 2016, it will apply from 25 May 2018. During this two year implementation period, additional guidance is expected including whether and how Article 29 Working Party could transform into the European Data Protection Board.\nThe ICC Commission on the Digital Economy invites the global business community to use the inventory (second edition, published September 2016) and hopes it proves a useful resource.\nICC contribution to the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on E-commerce and the Digital Economy\nICC response to the European Union (EU) Consultation on the fair taxation of the digital economy",

        "raw_content": "Murray J. Fox, The \u201cJohnny Appleseed\u201d of U.S. Recycling\nby Neil Seldman\t| Date: 6 Oct 2016 | posted in: waste - recycling based economic development, Waste to Wealth | 0\nIn my career of five decades of working in the recycling field for ILSR there is only one person I consider a true \u201cJohnny Appleseed of Recycling\u201d in the U.S. His name is Murray J. Fox and he remains a sage of recycling, whose own history provides insight into today\u2019s policies and issues. He never failed to teach others about the configuration of the equipment, the technologies to be employed and the problems to be solved. In the 1970s, Fox provided guided tours to beginning community recyclers of his ingeniously designed beneficiation plants with modern equipment and expandable walls along concrete pads. These were the people who subsequently became national leaders in the emerging U.S. recycling movement.\nFox first became aware of how much glass was being wasted in his aluminum storm window business, and then, due to new regulations for safety glass, he entered into a joint venture to build a glass tempering plant in Webster, Massachusetts. His curiosity brought him to Belgium where they manufactured the furnaces for tempering glass and also recycled the waste glass from the tempering process. He studied these processes to incorporate them into the Webster, MA, tempering operation. This plant eventually employed 300 people, before it was subsequently sold to Guardian Industries.\nRecycling Enterprises was begun in 1975, starting the roster of Fox\u2019s prolific series of start-ups. Fox\u2019s initial plant was in Oxford, Massachusetts, where 30 workers processed and supplied cullet (broken glass) to the glass industry. Then, in the period of 1979 through 1981 additional plants were developed in southern and northern NJ, employing 15 workers in each plant, to process beer bottles delivered by local bars and restaurants and waste glass from municipalities into usable glass cullet. By 1986, glass picked up by curbside recycling required 80 workers for processing and distribution.\nIn 1981, he co-founded REI Distributors and became the largest glass processor for the industry in the Massachusetts to New Jersey corridor. He had a strategy of locating plants near glass manufacturers and developed partnerships with key companies in the field. In 1982, Fox\u2019s operation built two additional plants; one in Newark, NJ, with 40 employees and one in Elmira, NY, with 20 employees in order to handle the materials resulting from the NY state bottle bill law.\nIn 1985, with the help of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) and the Flint, MI, Environmental Action Team (FEAT), Fox received $500,000 from the newly created Michigan state recycling market development grant program and expanded westward from NJ to Flint. There, he developed a system to handle glass bottles from the MI state bottle bill. This new operation required processing the waste glass and the associated materials, such as aluminum, plastics, (PET bottles and polypropylene caps), and paperboard packaging. In addition to Flint, Fox set up plants across Michigan in Livonia, Grand Rapids and Howell in rapid succession.\nThis expansion led to a merger with Alumet Smelting Co. where 150,000 square feet was dedicated to aluminum and 60,000 sq. ft. for glass. The company is still in operation. Soon thereafter, another plant was dedicated to provide the insulation industry with glass, creating another 40 jobs.\nIn 1991, REI Distributors merged with Pure Tech International, a public corporation based in NJ. The company became one of the largest plastics recyclers in the U.S. In 1995, Pure Tech merged with Ozite Corp. and became a diversified manufacturer of plastic materials and products as well as continuing in the recycling field. Subsequently, Pure Tech International, which employed 2,400 people, was sold to a private entity.\nFrom 1988-1993, Fox\u2019s enterprises entered the Canadian markets with a recycling plant that served a glass container manufacturing company in Toronto, followed by new plants in Framingham, MA; glass/plastics plants in Springfield, MA; Augusta ME; Bakersfield CA; PureTech Plastics in Farmingdale NY; Connecticut Container in Manchester CT; each facility employing from 20-60 jobs.\nThroughout his career, Fox was a public interest businessman and was active at the local, regional, and national recycling levels. He was an early supporter of the nascent National Recycling Coalition (NRC). He shared his knowledge with anyone who asked, especially young people. To this day his philanthropy impacts new recruits to the recycling industry through several endowments for scholarships through the NRC and the Iowa Recycling Association. He has also made generous donations to ILSR\u2019s Waste to Wealth Initiative.\nMurray Fox is now retired at age 92 and living with his wife in northern Connecticut. He shared his business acumen and concern for the environment with many of the future leaders of the U.S. recycling movement, myself included. For myself, he provided an additional invaluable service. My mother, Zelda, could not quite figure out my work at a non-profit organization that was committed to expanding a fledgling recycling sector. I invited her to attend a panel discussion at which both Murray and I participated at Cooper Union in New York City. Afterward, at her favorite restaurant in nearby Chinatown, she listened attentively and learned from Murray about the importance of recycling. Perhaps she paid better attention because he had grown up in Brooklyn, NY, and had that wonderful mellifluous Brooklyn accent just like hers. Zelda\u2019s commitment to recycling and ILSR never wavered after this meeting with Murray, the true \u201cJohnny Appleseed of Recycling\u201d and a founding friend of ILSR.\nComposting\tILSR Sponsors the Fourth National Cultivating Comm\u2026\nBuilding Local Power\tThe True Value of Recycling and the Waste Stream (\u2026",

        "raw_content": "\u2026 the child \u2026\nThere are endless discussions on issues relating to children and teenagers, in the news, both in the press and on the television and radio. There is need for more care and supervision for children, teens are arrested for drunkenness and riots, all kinds of problems and we wonder, worry, are shocked and have concerns about our children and teenagers.\nOf course we worry about our children and adolescents; we want them to be successful, have a good life. But still I wonder and ask, are our concerns about them or us?\nSometimes I feel like our ideas about our children are illusions, something that we create in our minds, to gain importance. And sometimes I am not sure that we know what we are thinking and doing, as all of our actions are just empty words, hovering in thin air, with no results and no benefit.\nParents and concerns have been with us for thousands of years, and nothing has changed. We are still in the same place, with the same worries, the same ideas, the same resources and no result.\nIf our children have no appetite and do not eat their porridge, we have concerns.\nHundreds of children, and more, die every day of hunger and we are concerned about one child, who lives in the society of great prosperity, and who will not eat its porridge.\nWhy only one? Why do we not worry about all those children who at this moment suffer and die because of poverty? Why do we not worry about all the children of this world?\nIt is a dark night and youth is somewhere out there, having fun and we have concerns.\nThere are thousands of young people who have gathered together, having fun, in cities and towns around the world. And we worry about one.\nWhy only one? Why do we not worry about all the young people of this world?\nIs it because this one child, this one teenager is mine?\nI own it. And if what I owe fails in some way, and goes beyond the accepted norm of society, I have also failed.\nThis applies to all our assets, whether it is alive or dead. Does it not?\nIf our property fails or is not functioning in accordance with the requirements of society, it reflects on us and we fall with it. And we do not want to be the ones that fall. We do not want social exclusion.\nThe feeling of ownership is a very negative force that destroys everything it comes into contact with, no matter what it is.\nWe dare not to be alone and nothing so we find something to relate to, attach ourselves to. If the me has nothing to identify it with, then it disappears. The me is really all it associates with.\nWe have spouses, children, parents, siblings, friends, properties, material thing and so on. And if any of this fails, then we have failed. And then we get the judgment of society. Then we are not good enough.\nWe know this well we are ourselves good at judging others and in fact everything we come across. How often have we not heard or even said \u201cit is not surprising that the child is and acts as it does, look at the home, the parents. Is anyone surprised that this happened to this teenager, look at the home, the parents?\u201d\nThis is our judgment of others and at the same time others judgments of us.\nNew life can only come from life. Thus we are the channel that life uses to appear as new life, as \u2018our\u2019 children. That is all. We do not own them. We own in fact nothing.\nIt is no self-evident that children are better off with their parents or relatives than strangers. Children need shelter and safety. But they do not require us to give it to them. Many can do that.\nI should have said that children need, love, shelter and safety, but I did not intentionally, we can forget all about love and affection, because we have no such to give. Mother love and other such ideas are only empty words, phrases that have no value. We have created these ideas with our own importance in mind.\nThe me always takes first place. \u201cI cannot die, because then I cannot take care of my children. I am in agony from guilt, because I have to leave my child in the nursery, every day, so I can take care of my job. I am concerned about young people because I have responsibilities. I do not want, I cannot, and I have to\u201d. I, me, mine. That is what all this is about.\nWe have held many remarkable lectures about ourselves in this position and thereby made us very important. But we are not thinking of our children and their benefit, just our own.\nWe do in fact not want to be the shield and shelter for our children. We want the parental authority and all it involves. Nothing more.\nWe want the importance attached to the title parent, mother and father. It is a sweet title that gives importance.\nWe can just look at our responses to people, who cannot have children. \u2018Oh sad\u2019 describes well our attitude of what we think they are missing. As \u2018fortunate\u2019 describes well our attitude to those who through IVF (in vitro fertilization), adoption or other means, have a child to attach themselves to, and thus create themselves importance.\nI know this is harsh, and I know there are exceptions to this, people who dare to step aside and allow their kids to be themselves and try not to make them their property and important in the creation of the image of themselves. But it is like that, for many of us. Many are asleep and unaware of how they are. It is just a fact we might as well face. I know, because I am no different and better than other parents.\nWhen our ambitions and selfishness drives us to put the kids in second place, the me has the first, or otherwise trample on their rights, then it is not necessarily that which distresses us, but rather that we do it not wholeheartedly and completely.\nNot necessarily give the children entirely from us, although it may well be considered, but first and foremost to let go of our ownership of them.\nWhen we let go of our ownership of anything and everything then our importance is gone and we see reality as it is, whether we call it our own children, younger and older, or something else.\nWe really have no concern for the whole and therefore not for the individual, whether we say him our own or others. And the same applies to the care of others for us.\nOur concern about no appetite and night entertainment is fear. We are afraid and mostly for ourselves. Our responses are only fear responses. Nothing more.\nThe me takes ownership of, and holds fast to its property, because it knows that when it has nothing to attach to it disappears. Then it dies. And it fears death.\nWe dare not die, and then we will not let go of our ownership of our children or anything else.\nWe may, however, remember that we are only the device, the channel that life uses to appear as new individuals, as \u2018our\u2019 kids. Nothing more.\nWe can provide shelter and support to the children while they are growing up, that is all. We must never force us and our ideas up on them. And we should remember that if we stop to care for them, and maybe leave them, it does not equal that they will die. We are not indispensable. There are plenty of people who are just as able to care for them as we ourselves.\nWe may also know that love is either complete or none.\nAnd if we have true compassion, true love, then it would focus on everything.\nThen we would care for all the children and young people of this world, without conditions, without the prior ideas. Nothing less.",

But I couldn\u2019t be happier outside of WWE right now, because of places like MLW, Impact Wrestling, Lucha Underground and independent promotions all over the place.\n\u201cThere are a lot of really cool places to work outside of WWE, and I\u2019m having a really great time doing that right now.\u201d\nMorrison may have dropped a hint, as WWE is always looking to add talent to their roster and a returning Morrison could be a tremendous boost to either Smackdown, RAW, or event NXT in the future.\nA full preview for the upcoming fourth season of Lucha Underground has been published over at ESPN, and you can see a first look at the Lucha Underground Season 4 Extended Trailer, which will air during tonight\u2019s \u201cSeason 3 Greatest Hits\u201d episode.\n\u201cWhen we were doing [Seasons] 2 and 3, we finished two and then we went right into three. Here, we\u2019re trying to tell as many stories as possible but in a shorter period of time\u201d Lucha Underground head writer and co-executive producer Chris DeJoseph said in the ESPN article.\n\u201cIt\u2019s obviously a little bit different, but I think sometimes it\u2019s good because we put the pedal to the metal and go for it.\u201d\nThe 4th season, which is slated for 22 episodes, premieres Wednesday, June 13th on the El Rey Network.",

Phones that play songs were not new. Phones that have email or text messaging were not new. Phones that have games were not new. Touch screens were not new.\nWhat Apple did with the iPhone was create a phone that was fun and easy to use. They didn't do it with a complicated looking, bulky device. They made the iPhone simple and intuitive. Steve Jobs demanded a product from his engineers that not only looked beautiful, but also worked beautifully. He once said, \u201cDesign is not just what it looks like and feels like. It is how it works.\u201d In the end, the jury ruled that the look and feel of the iPhone, something known as \u201ctrade dress\u201d, as well as \u201chow it works\u201d was illegally copied by Samsung.\nTrade dress is not a new thing. A Hershey bar's unique brown and silver wrapper is protected by law, just as the shape of a Coke bottle and the Nike swoosh. In the case of Apple, the rectangular icons with the curved corners, the shape of the product, and the finger movements used to operate the iPhone all belong to Apple.\nThe really big news here is not the billion dollars that Samsung now owes Apple, and it's not even the possibility that some Samsung and Android products might be removed from the market. The really big news is that an industry that has been built on stealing ideas and copying them with impunity will need to re-assess its practices. The new mantra will become innovation, not imitation.\nOf course, this is easier said than done. As Youkyung Lee recently wrote in an Associated Press release, Samsung's \u201cability to build on the innovations of others, like Sony Corp. has helped Samsung become the world's largest maker of televisions, memory chips, LCD panels, and now smartphones\u2026said Chang Sea-jin, a professor at National University of Singapore. \u201cIf you don't have a technology, imitating more advanced companies is the easiest way to catch up.\u201d\nWhile this verdict will certainly not cause Samsung to cut and run, the long term effect will be that competitors will need to pay royalties for their mimicry, or they will need to learn to take risk and innovate.\nThis entry was posted in Business and tagged Apple, ideas, improvement, innovation, invent.

        "title": "Introducing Jersey: Carry on Jersey",
        "raw_content": "New currency unit THE PRAWN, after Lenny Harper\nA lot of carry on has been going on in Jersey since my last post at the end of November 2013. I'm not sure whether the island has lurched towards independence, but certainly there are things going on that should not be acceptable in any civilised society.\nI'll try and fill in developments below under a few relevant headings.\nOne of the posts requested to be taken down\nWhen we left Stuart, he was languishing in La Moye prison, serving a sentence of three months for contempt of court. His contempt was not removing some thirty specified posts from his blog, and also, of course, not doing the court the courtesy of turning up for the hearing.\nSo, technically he was jailed for contempt. But that is like saying that Gandhi was jailed for disrupting the traffic. You have to look behind the civil disobedience to discern the cause that is being pursued. In Gandhi's case this was getting rid of the British and in Stuart's the exposure, and ultimately replacement, of a corrupt oligarchy which, inter alia, was responsible for decades of perpetration and coverup of child abuse on the island.\nStuart served two of the three months and is currently out of jail. The contempt basis, which could have allowed him to be rejailed at the drop of a hat, is now somewhat in doubt as his blog has been taken down by its host, Google, on foot of a very dubious legal piece of paper which the Jersey administration waved in front of them.\nStuart was asked to take down about thirty specified blog posts and when he did not, Google suspended his blog. In forwarding him the request, Google inadvertently revealed that the Jersey administration had been attempting to get the blog taken down since 2008, which was when Stuart posted the affidavit of suspended Jersey Police Chief, Graham Power, QPM. So this has been a long war of attrition, and it's not over yet. It remains to be seen if Google will see through the stroke that's been pulled on them, where the Jersey legal firm Appleby appear to have served a court judgement based on libel whereas the whole case was brought under Data Protection Legislation, an entirely different matter.\nStuart's blog, minus most of the comments, has mysteriously popped up again in the newly created blog of Erlan Verhooten, and work is underway to have the full thing hosted again via a safe ISP, and formally outside of Stuart's control, though he would, of course, envisage continuing to post on the new blog.\nAs far as timing is concerned, the administration appear to have desperately wanted the blog out of the way before the beginning of the Committee of Inquiry into \"historic\" child abuse on the island. The devastating evidence in Stuart's posts, along with other documentary evidence in his possession, promised to make for a very uncomfortable inquiry for the administration. They are also in the process of trying to bankrupt him before the general election in October 2014 so that he will be disqualified from standing for election, should he wish to do so.\nDeputies Pitman\nTrevor and Shona Pitman, bankrupted and expelled from Parliament\nAs we saw in November, Deputies Trevor and Shona Pitman were effectively bankrupted when they unjustly lost their libel case against the Jersey Evening Post for publishing a cartoon stating that they only entered politics for the money. Since then they have been refused leave to appeal to the UK Privy Council by a Jersey court. Funny thing that.\nVisiting UK Parliamentary Justice Committee\nThe report of the vising UK Parliamentary Justice Committee has now been published, and, as expected, it says that all is rosy in the garden that is Jersey and, if anyone has any complaints, they should take them up with the Jersey authorities. The Committee is thus referring all complaints back for judgement by those against whom the complaints are made. This is, in some strange way, supposed to be a manifestation of the British monarch taking seriously her duty to ensure good governance on the island.\nThe Vulnerable Lady\nBishop Dakin, after his ducking\nThe vulnerable lady, who was the principal subject of my last post, is still on the run on the mainland. She has had some temporary \"relief\" from her life outdoors and has moved into accommodation, but, as a result of the trauma inflicted on her earlier, she is not adjusting well to this indoor existence and is feeling the need to go back to her homeless outdoor life.\nShe has been working hard on her blogs since November and the experiences she is revealing, sometimes in graphic detail, are quite horrific. They would make you very angry on her behalf and make you wonder how she's still there at all. But, as I said before, for all her afflictions, she is a tough lady and is, so far, toughing it out. She is intelligent and articulate and has a flair for descriptive writing, so her journals are a good, if tough, read, and her descriptions of happier times would make you cry for what she has lost, or, more correctly, what has been taken from her.\nThe constitutional crisis, precipitated by revelations of how she was treated, rumbles on. The Dean has been restored to his palace after Bishop Dakin was clobbered by a combination of civilian and clerical enemy fire, and the Jersey Deanery has been transferred, supposedly pro tem, to the Canterbury archdiocese, and put under the wing of the Dean's friend, Bishop Trevor Wilmot.\nThe Steel Report, commissioned by the Winchester diocese, is presumably completed but has not been published, having become embroiled in some lagal wrangle, which may never be sorted out.\nTeresa Rodrigues & Curtis Warren\nMale queue for admission to La Moye\nNow this is a very strange one. Out of the blue, a former Portugese drugs counsellor at La Moye prison, has claimed that she had an ongoing sexual relationship, or mushy mushy time as she described it, with jailed drug smuggler Curtis Warren. This has given rise to a storm, in which she is both praised and criticised, but, more importantly, raises questions about the running of the prison some years ago.\nIt is said that she raised the matter, in a national newspaper, in order to pre-empt some worse stuff that was about to come out. That poor unfortunate Ian Le Marquand is, again, the minister in the firing line and he has so far been true to form as his coy and confusing self. This one will rumble on awhile.\nJohn Nettles and Haut de la Garenne\nThe BBC (UK) has been re-running the 1980s TV detective series \"Bergerac\", but in response to all the Savile stuff and given that most of the series was set in Jersey, with police HQ in the notorious then recently almost vacated Haut de la Garenne, the Corporation has decided not to rescreen almost three quarters of the series. This is supposed to indicate the Corporation's sensitivity to the feelings of abuse survivors, but it seems to me more like a big Savile funk and an attempt to stay below the radar.\nThe local branch of the BBC in Jersey has been most reluctant, one could even say absolutely refused, to rock the boat on the island, particularly in relation to Haut de la Garenne. This is only one of the institutions which were being investigated by the former police team, Lenny Harper and Graham Power, with no help from the Corporation. Power was sacked and Harper rubbished by the administration in an attempt to stymie the first real investigation of abuse in decades.\nIn a recent interview, John Nettles, Bergerac to you, has suggested the BBC are going over the top in postponing screening of most of the old series. He has referred to the \"debacle\" of Haut de la Garenne, by which he means not the abuse but the stymied investigation. He also gives the impression that he thinks this whole Savile thing is overplayed. I wonder why.\nJust in passing, it is worth mentioning that Emma Martins, the Jersey Data Protection Commissioner, is Nettles's daughter, and it was she who orchestrated the recent court case against Stuart Syvret which led both to his imprisonment and the taking down of his blog. She has publicly admitted to taking advice from her father relating to her professional duties.\nI am not a Nettles fan, but was impressed by his recent book on the German occupation of the Channel Islands during WWII. How he can have such a cavalier attitude to a matter of such import as systematically covered up child abuse is beyond me. History, which he claims to respect, will judge him harshly in this.\nLeah McGrath Goodman, investigating US journalist\nLeah McGrath Goodman is primarily a financial journalist. She came to Jersey from the financial angle but became interested in the area of child abuse and is currently writing a book about the Jersey set up. She has recently published the first instalment of a three part series on the island in Newsweek. It is written with great understanding and care, and the next two parts promise to be as riveting as the first one. Assuming they are not spiked.\nShe had started a blog but appears to have given it up. This is not surprising as blogs are very time consuming and the Jersey bloggers are doing a fantastic job in that area in the face of both overt and covert opposition.\nWhile I only intend doing the odd post in this series, I am inclined to poke more regularly at my page of Jersey cartoons, where the illustrations are accompanied by descriptive text.\nYou can stay up to date by keeping an eye on these cartoons.\nWhich reminds me that they are also due an update now.",

        "raw_content": "150,000 hours for 31 pages?\n3000 kg of samples...\nMaps and archaeological plans\nWhispered, but never written, \"scientific conclusions\"\nWeeks of meticulous searching...\nSacred cow and ten-fingered foot\nThree-headed dragon and proto-script\nA little bit more dust in the eyes\nInternational validation\nOne of the reproaches made by the Bosnian scientific institutions to Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s Foundation is the total lack of scientific documentation on the \"excavations\" made in 2006 (see for instance the opinion on this point of the Bosnian Academy of Sciences, that thinks that this lack makes any serious evaluation of the project impossible); Mr. Osmanagic and his team reply to this reproach (for instance in this text (bs) which is an answer to the Minister of Culture Gavrilo Grahovac\u2019s critical letter) by explaining that\nthousands of photographs are visible on the Foundation website - true, but photos and videos are not a scientific report\na report on the 2006 excavations has been published in February 2007.\nThis \"excavation report\", with the title \"Report on the research program for the year 2006\", actually exists and can be downloaded (bs) on the Foundation website or below. But what is the actual content of this \"report\"?\nRapport de fouilles 2006\nT\u00e9l\u00e9charg\u00e9 le 13 mars 2007\nLet\u2019s first notice that, among the 63 pages of the report, 32 contain only photographs or scans of various documents; 31 pages of text (among which a notable part consist of thanks, summary, list of addressees...), it is not very much for such gigantic excavations: Mr. Osmanagic says that there were in 2006 150,000 work hours on 39 different probes, by no less than 60 employed people, not to mention the volunteers and foreign scientists.\nAfter 7 pages of generalities, thanks and summary, page 8 presents the events of the year 2005: \"discovery\" of the first pyramid by Mr. Osmanagic, first geological probes and conclusions drawn by Mr. Osmanagic and his at that time chief geologist Nadija Nukic. The following pages do not offer any new information, as they contain a vague summary of what I have called Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s \"preliminary evidence\", geological probes, satellite analysis, \"geodetic\" analysis [1]. None of these elements, that I have already commented last year in this part, can have any value as evidence or even scientific argument to support Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s hypothesis.\nPages 12 and 13 give a summary of what the research project was for the first years, then page 14 mentions again the various probe holes made in 2005 and 2006 on Visocica and Pljesevica: some of these holes went 200 meters down, and yielded no less than \"3000 kg\" of stones that have to be \"analysed\". Here is a first example of a method that is often used in this report and in other Foundation documents: we are given a long list of all possible analyses that could possibly be performed on such samples; the reader is drowned under impressing scientific words (\"mineralo-petrographic, sedimentologic, X-rays, differential thermal, thermogravimetric analyses, then datation analyses using radioactive isotope of carbon, oxygen, potassium-argon, rubidium-strontium dating methods, then micro- and macro-paleontological analyses, chemical, geochemical and other analyses, beside physico-mechanical and geo-mechanical analyses...\") evidently aimed at giving a veneer of scientificity - what the Sarajevo Museum scientists called \"dust in the eyes\" of the layman...\nAt last, at the end of page 14, are mentioned the excavations made in 2006. One would expect of an excavation report that it offers a detailed archaeological plan of the excavation; here is what this Foundation \"report\" offers by way of archaeological plan and map of the excavated areas:\n\"Pyramide du Soleil\"\n\"Pyramid of the Sun\" - Source\n\"Pyramide de la Lune\"\n\"Pyramid of the Moon\" - Source\nIf you never had the opportunity to see an archaeological plan, here is an instance from the excavations made on the celtic oppidum of Mont Vully in Switzerland:\nand the detailed plan of a small area:\nor the archaeological plan of the gallo-roman tile factory of Moissey in France:\nThe comparison doesn\u2019t need any comment... Not only this \"report\" doesn\u2019t contain any plan of any part of the excavations, but the Foundation never published any such plan elsewhere.\nNo archaeological plan, no photograph either of most of the excavated areas, only a few ones are shown, among other photographs whose value in a scientific work is quite dubious, like this one:\nThe captions of the few photographs showing excavated areas on Visocica (fig. 11, 13 and 14) mention either slabs of \"breccia\" or slabs of sandstone; however the text claims that the photographs show \"a concrete surface\". What proof, what scientific argument does this \"report\" present supporting this hypothesis of gigantic concrete slabs? Quotation:\n\"Just arrived from his trip, Dr Barakat, at dawn on the 28th of April 2006, visited along with Professor Muris Osmanagic the pyramid of the Sun, and he payed a particular attention to the probe hole S-4C. After a careful examination from every angle, and a testing of the surface of the megalithic breccia blocks with his little hammer, he softly whispered: \u2019These are cast concrete blocks, identical to those of the Egyptian pyramids in Gizeh\u2019.\"\nShall we have to call Dr Barakat \"The Pseudo-scientist Whisperer\"? The good Doctor\u2019s whispers have never been confirmed by any written text; after a 40 days stay in Visoko in 2006, and even when he is systematically used, like a few others, as scientific guarantee by Mr. Osmanagic, one could never see even the beginning of a report or of scientific written conclusions by Mr. Barakat [2]. Why doesn\u2019t Mr. Barakat write his scientific conclusions, instead of whispering them to Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s father? Or, if they were written, why doesn\u2019t the Foundation publish them?\nPage 16, and photographs 16 to 20, are devoted to the \"pyramid of the Moon\"; one can find there again, with no more proofs or arguments than usual, the same assertions repeated for more than a year, trying to make of Pljesevica geological phenomena various \"pavements\", \"mosaics\", \"steps\" and so on (see here for an explanation of these phenomena). The existence of a wall of which \"all archaeologists and geologists [...] agree that it must be of human origin\" is mentioned. Indeed, there is on Pljesevica a rectangular structure (see here); the report confirms that \"the Greek archaeologist Nancy Gallou has long and meticulously worked\" on this structure during the summer months of 2006, but nowhere is the result of this work mentioned! How can one imagine that a professional archaeologist could work for weeks in this structure, and that there is nothing to publish, no report, no plan [3], not even a few conclusions? This structure is the single artifact discovered during 2006, and the Foundation has nothing more to say about it? Either that\u2019s a case of total incompetence, or the archaeologist\u2019s conclusions did not \"fit\" to Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s theories, and the absence of her conclusions in this \"report\" can only confirm the suspicions that the Foundation is hiding some findings [4].\nLet\u2019s pass over the words by the Egyptian Professor Mohamed Ibrahim Aly who, like his colleague Dr Barakat, never gave more than a few vague and general declarations to the local newspapers; we now find, on page 17, the third place excavated in 2006, the hill of Toprakalija near Vratnica (figures 21 to 24). There again, the single \"argument\" supporting an artificial origin for the hill is a photograph of sandstone blocks; the report adds two photographs of \"artifacts\" found near the excavations. One is a \"stone monument\":\nof which it is said that it looks like a cow; and the \"report\" adds that the cow \"used to be sacred in all pagan peoples\" and that it is still so in India. The second artifact:\nis described as a \"two-sided human foot\" that could fit to \"a male shoe size 45\" [5]; the report makes the hypothesis (founded on the presence of \"fingers\" at each side of the \"foot\", by which it could be ascertained that the foot could not be shortened without anybody being aware of it) that this sandstone \"foot\" has been used as \"standard\" for the measurement of lengths, and that it could be the ancestor of roman foot, medieval foot and today English foot...\nPages 18 to 21 present the results of two analyses of sandstone and conglomerate samples taken on the hills of Visocica and Pljesevica. The first analysis is the one, already commented here, of the Tuzla Civil Engineering Institute (GIT), and, as usual, this report claims that this analysis shows lot of things that in fact it does not show. The single document given is a scan of one of the pages sent by the GIT in July 2006 as \"preliminary results\"; so that it is evident now that the GIT never gave a final report, and that the single document used by the Foundation is that series of preliminary results described in this article. I have no idea what the GIT engineers have said orally to Mr. Osmanagic, but their written preliminary results certainly do not show the existence of \"construction material\", nor of \"concrete type MB60 that doesn\u2019t exist in nature\", nor any similarity between the \"connection material\" of the different places. Here is by the way an obvious instance of disinformation, about this \"cement\" between the blocks: the report claims that the laboratory analysis (by titration) shows a quantity of 76,77% CaCO3 in a sample from the \"pyramid of the Moon\", and that \"a very similar percent of Calcium carbonate has been found in the samples taken on the pyramid of the Sun and on Toprakalija\". However the figures given by the GIT (published on the Foundation website (bs) itself) are, for the two other analyses made by titration of samples from Visocica, 40,36% and 97,64%!!!\nThe second analysis was made by a German company (LGA Bautechnik GmbH). It relates first to the mechanical characteristics of two samples from the two \"pyramids\": both have similar compressive strength, about 49 MN/m2 (or MPa), which, contrary to what the Foundation report claims, is nothing extraordinary. The chemical composition of 5 samples has been searched by EDX (or EDS: Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy); for once the Foundation cannot be accused of retaining informations, as are included in the report the resulting spectra (fig. 25 to 29), the only problem is that we are not given the origin of the samples, for which is only given a number, we do not even know which ones come from Visocica and which ones from Pljesevica! One cannot know, either, what exactly has been analysed: as the samples are from clastic rocks, have the clasts been analysed, the cement, or both? In my opinion the publication of these spectra is once again \"dust in the eyes\": all that we can learn from them is that the 5 samples contain a high quantity of carbonate, traces of iron, and that two of them (n\u00b0 2 and 5) contain a more important part of silica. None of these facts can allow any archaeological conclusion.\nPages 22 and 23 are devoted to the two tunnels and their \"reconstruction\". One can learn, among technical informations on the tunnels \"rebuilding\", that the tunnel called \"KTK\" contained two \"artifacts\", a \"three-headed dragon\":\nand an \"unknown idol\":\nfound not in the tunnel but near the river under its opening. One can also see, reading the paragraph about the Ravne tunnel, that Mr. Muris Osmanagic, who wrote a series of texts about this tunnel and the mysterious \"proto-script\" that it is said to contain, has at last found enough free time to read the geological map of Visoko region, as, instead of calling the Miocene conglomerate in which the tunnel is dug \"marine breccia\", he now calls it \"lacustrine/marine breccia\" - that doesn\u2019t mean anything, but is slightly more fitting with the geological facts, as this conglomerate has been deposited in a lacustrine environment, see here.\nThe \"Visoko proto-script\" of course is not forgotten in this \"report\", with the list of 51 symbols that Mr. Osmanagic Senior claims to have identified on a \"megalith\". One can notice however that the Foundation doesn\u2019t show any more than in the previous documents on the subject the photographs of these 51 symbols: all we are given is the same \"artistic view\" of the megalith and its symbols sketched by Mr. Osmanagic Senior (fig. 37), and the same much viewed photographs of the same few symbols. That the Foundation never found the time or the means, since the \"megalith\" was discovered a year ago, to have correct photographs of each symbol made, says a lot either about the incompetence of the team, or about the reality of the symbols...\nThat doesn\u2019t prevent the report to offer an interpretation of the \"script\" with the most valuable help of Mr. Paulo Stekel, Brazilian \"independant searcher\". Mr. Stekel is a writer, and self-claimed expert in \"hierolinguistics\", a \"science\" devoted to the \"study of sacred languages\" of which he is at the same time the creator and the single practitioner. He is also the author of one of the numerous decipherments of Glozel tablets (en) [6]. The joint interpretation by Mr. Stekel and Mr. Osmanagic Senior, that presents the \"Visoko proto-script\" as the ancestor of \"Glozel alphabet\" as well as of all the \"European and world-wide\" alphabets, lacks only two tiny details to obtain the slightest beginning of validity:\nthat the \"Visoko proto-script\" had any reality\nand that the date and origin of Glozel symbols were not so dubious...\nThe last part of the 2006 \"report\", from page 26 to page 29 (pages 30 and 31 contain only a summary of the projects for the following year and a list of the addressees), is an acme in the art of \"flabbergasting\" [7] the layman. It is devoted to two series of measurements, seismometric by a team from Belgrade Faculty of Mines and Geology, georadar by the already mentioned German company LGA Bautechnik GmbH. In both cases, the most part of the text consists of rather uninteresting details and technical precisions about the way the study took place (studied areas, number of research days, weather on these days, number of technicians working, number of measurement points...). The documents given are for a part totally useless photographs taken by Mr. Muris Osmanagic on the ground; the only documents from LGA Bautechnik come from a preliminary report and are given without any comment from the company experts. A radargram or seismometric measurements are absolutely not understable by most people: they can offer an interest only when analysed and interpreted by experts. But the Foundation never published the reports, neither of the Serbian experts nor of the German ones. What is the point of publishing such documents, not interpreted, in this \"excavation report\", except with the aim of making an impression on the non expert readers, beginning with the numerous politicians and journalists to whom it was sent ?\nIn the 60 pages \"study\" (bs) sent in answer to the Minister of Culture after his decision to withdraw the excavation authorization on Visocica, the German study is again mentioned [8], and scans of 4 pages of the report are given: three are again photographs without a comment, the last one is a very general conclusion on the existence of underground \"inhomogenities\", that allowed, for some areas that \"looked interesting\" for excavations, to conclude that \"excavations are not necessary\" when these inhomogenities were absent, and to mark areas were anomalies could make excavations interesting - but the Foundation doesn\u2019t offer a map of these marked areas. That is all we will learn from these expensive [9] investigations: that the three areas, Visocica, Pljesevica and Vratnica, present \"anomalies\" and \"inhomogenities\". Let\u2019s stress the fact that all kinds of natural anomalies and inhomogenities can exist (faults, stratification joints, variations of composition in the layers, natural cavities...), and that the geophysical techniques, if they can offer a precious help for archaeological survey and study of underground structures, cannot, by themselves, offer any proof of the existence of such structure.\nLast, as a definitive conclusion to this \"report\" that is everything except a real excavation report, the Foundation offers this most definitive document:\npompously called \"international validation\"...\nR\u00e9ponse de la Fondation au ministre Grahovac\nT\u00e9l\u00e9charg\u00e9 le 8 juin 2007\n[1] With, by the way, a quite funny use of vocabulary, as the notion of \"imagery\" is rendered by \"imaginacija\": every Bosnian dictionary I could find confirms that it can be translated only as \"imagination\"; geodetic imagination, that\u2019s a revealing lapsus calami!\n[2] It is true that he never, either, denied any of the things that Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s team claimed he had said; the position of the Egyptian scientist, as well as the one of some of his colleagues like Professor Ibrahim Aly or Professor Andretta, is quite strange: on the one hand they seem to support entirely the Foundation project (see for instance this article (bs) by an Egyptian journalist), but on the other hand not one of them ever wrote the slightest piece of scientific text supporting the hypothesis at the basis of this project. Are they afraid of compromising too much their reputation as scientists? or are they lacking real scientific arguments, and is their support to Mr. Osmanagic more \"politic\" than scientific?\n[3] Still, a little bit farther in the same report, it is claimed that Mrs. Gallou makes a serious work, with daily records and plans...\n[4] Or even destroying archaeological elements non consistant with Mr. Osmanagic\u2019s theories, as is the case with the skeletons found in 2005 on Visocica and \"lost\" by the Foundation (en)...\n[5] This discovery gives the opportunity for an extraordinary advancement in scientific anthropology: the width of this foot being 9 cm, the Foundation team is said to have taken measurements in Sarajevo of male and female feet, and to have found the same width of 9 cm; so that it can be deduced that the size of the inhabitants\u2019 feet of what is today Bosnia has not changed since the last Ice Age...\n[6] Let\u2019s remind the reader that the vaguely Phoenician symbols found at Glozel have had a great number of interpretations and decipherments, each more accurate and definitive than the previous ones, and that they have been identified as Basque, Chaldean, Berber, Hebrew, Turkish... See for instance a list of translations and decipherments during the years 1920-1930 (fr), 1970-1990 (fr), 2000 (fr)...\n[7] I really love this English word, and have tried to put it somewhere for months :-)\n[8] With this detail: the study being in English, 4 pages only could be translated in Bosnian for the use of \"the scientists that don\u2019t understand English\"... I have never seen a worst pretext as this one!\n[9] The Foundation claims having paid 50,000 KM (convertible marks) for these studies - it makes all the more surprising the fact that they could not find the necessary 200 or 300 euros for a datation of the skeletons found on Visocica before their mysterious vanishing!",

        "raw_content": "Work From Home Resources How the SBA Can Help Your Work-at-Home Business\nHow the SBA Can Help Your Work-at-Home Business\nIf you operate a small work-at-home business out of your spare bedroom or maybe even the laundry room, you may have shied away from asking for help from such organizations as the Small Business Administration (SBA). Maybe you think your endeavors aren\u2019t worth the time and effort of bigwig corporate execs or other business owners. Or maybe you\u2019re embarrassed that your current business assets include just your laptop and a rickety old office chair.\nThat\u2019s unfortunate because the SBA and its partners including SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives), the Small Business Development Centers (SBDC), Veterans Business Outreach Centers (VBOC), and the Women\u2019s Business Centers (WBC), all exist to help out small businesses, and especially those small businesses that are just starting out. That help includes a lot more than just providing info on how to secure loans. Here are a few of the perks and resources you will locate via the SBA:\nThe SBA offers a number of free tools to help you. One such tool is SizeUp; this application compares your business to area competitors, provides you with customer data, and offers suggestions on the best places you can advertise. Using this tool, you can find information on where you have lots of customers but little competition, for example.\nThe Build Your Business Plan tool offers a step-by-step guide to creating your business plan where you simply input the required information into individual sections of a template. You can save this information for up to six months as you work on creating your plan.\nMany government contracts are based on specific size standards for small businesses. Find out if your business qualifies for a particular contract by using the SBA\u2019s Size Standards tool.\nThe SBA and its partners offer many free educational seminars, trainings and workshops throughout the year. All these events can now be searched by date, topic and zip code using the SBA\u2019s Events Calendar tool.\nIf you just want to talk with someone in your area, there is a tool for that too. Via the SBA\u2019s Local Assistance tool, you can locate not only the nearest SBA office but partner organizations like SCORE and the SBDC, VBOC and WBC.\nFinally, if you are looking for a loan, there is a handy SBA LINC (Leveraging Information and Networks to Access Capital) tool that you can use to connect with lenders.\nThe SBA is, most notably, an association. As such, it works within a network of partnering business organizations. These organizations are more tailored towards specific area businesses and demographics and include the following:\nSCORE\u2013 This 350-chapter organization consists of over 13,000 actual executives who are (largely) either retired or still employed but committed to helping out other business professionals. Help topics can include everything from mobile marketing to grants and crowdfunding to avoiding bankruptcy. You can also input your unique question and issue and receive an answer from an online mentor. SCORE also offers a lot of free webinars on subject matters like business loans, balance sheets and SEO.\nSBDC\u2013 This centers offers low-cost and/or subsidized training and related services to business owners, including manufacturing and lending assistance, market research, and even disaster recovery assistance.\nVBOC\u2013 This organization offers funding and other information geared specifically to veterans who are starting businesses. The organization will even conduct on-site visits to entrepreneurs to go over their business plans, funding situation, etc.\nWBC\u2013 This organization helps women, especially those women who are economically or socially disadvantaged, to start and operate their businesses. Help is available in several different languages too.\nResource Guide for Small Business\nThe SBA offers a free magazine for small businesses which can be customized by state for local information and resources. In this magazine, you\u2019ll find content about obtaining loans and training, local regulations, outsourcing and business advocacy.\nIt may seem counter-intuitive that you would volunteer your services at the same organization where you need help. However, by volunteering your time and skills, you get to interact with and work more closely with other small business professionals. This can lead to mutually beneficial collaborations and business deals. Also, by being more closely involved with the SBA and its partners, you can get discounted rates to conferences, trade shows and other events.\nThe SBA is the place to get help- before you need it\nToo many work-at-home businesses fail not because their products or services are \u201cbad,\u201d but because the respective business owners remain isolated in a kind of business vacuum and don\u2019t collaborate with others. Then, when their small business encounters a difficulty or delay, the business owner had no one and nowhere to turn to for help.\nBy checking out organizations like the SBA and SCORE, you not only learn a lot online, but you connect to a community of people who are also starting or growing their businesses. Many of these business owners work from home or from their laptop. By finding such like-minded individuals now, you stand a better chance of surviving and thriving as a business- especially when the unforeseen occurs.",

I\u2019m here to make good on my IOU, as I had a weekend chock full of random goodness. It turns out I was already a winner. On Friday night I got a call from an unknown number that I usually wouldn\u2019t have answered, but I\u2019ve been in contact with various insurance agents because of my car, so I picked up. The fellow on the other end informed me that I had won a big prize in a contest that I don\u2019t remember entering. I was eligible to win a car or a TV or a large sum of money. All I had to do was go somewhere and listen to a brief presentation before I could claim my fabulous prize. When he asked to confirm my date of birth I said, \u201cYesterday.\u201d Then I hung up. On Saturday, my gal and I met up with friends Chris, Joe, and Allyson for a day of adventure. Usually, any adventure with Chris includes some kind of learning and this one was no different as we traveled to the Pope Leighy House, built by famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. We were led on a tour through and around the house by soon-to-be-famous tour guide, Fairfield. He was so happy to have people in his group that weren\u2019t dead eyed tweens that he gave us an extra long but very interesting look at the subtle details of the house. Here are some fun facts that I learned: 1) Frank Lloyd Wright was so rigid and dictatorial in his designs that he would force clients to use only the furniture that he provided. He would often visit months after the fact and rearrange to house as he saw fit\u2026 \u201cI took the liberty of removing your curtains and stacking your children while you were asleep.\u201d 2) His son invented Lincoln Logs. 3) I\u2019m thinking of changing my name to Fairfield. From there, it was a quick drive down the road to check out a giant watering can. You heard me. We also spotted something you might find in Stephen King\u2019s garden. After that, we swung on over to Silver Spring to batten down our collective hatches at Piratz Tavern. That\u2019s right, a pirate themed bar. Like Applebee\u2019s with scurvy. We got ourselves a pitcher of grog and drank in the one-eyed atmosphere. For those of you wondering what exactly grog is, it\u2019s spiced rum served in large quantities. Speaking of which, remove the \u201cquan\u201d and that describes the corseted waitresses. Huge tracts of land.",

As a matter of fact, according to a poll released in March by the National Center for Health Statistics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 1.4 percent of Americans identify themselves as \u201chomosexual.\u201d This means that out of the approximately 307 million citizens in the U.S., only a little more than 4 million fit the description.\nWhat this means is that people at certain media outlets, like U.S. News and The New York Times, are putting lots of energy into creating an aura of overwhelming numbers in order to further the progress of the homosexual agenda throughout the land.\nPrevious articleThe Ripples of 9/11: A decade of surprises in the war on terror\nNext articleOf course Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme",

I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a highlight of my writing career, but when the singer of the band left a comment on the site saying Billboard could be sued for publishing, I knew I had hit the right note.\nMany fans of the band also accused me of panning them because they were Argentinean and I was Chilean, which was also a first. Those commentators missed the essential point of my review: I think Argentina has produced one of the only (if not the only) solid rock and roll canons outside of the United States and Great Britain.

She was a child prodigy on the harpsichord and clavier and when she and her brother toured together as children, she often received top billing. She composed, too\u2013Wikipedia tells us \u201cthere are letters from her brother praising her work\u201d\u2013but nothing she wrote survives. After she reached her teens, her parents didn\u2019t allow her to tour, she stopped performing and probably composing, and she ended up getting married, raising a family, and giving piano lessons.\nThe whole story reminds me of Virginia Woolf\u2019s idea of \u201cShakespeare\u2019s sister\u201d in A Room of One\u2019s Own\u2013that even if Shakespeare had had a sister just as talented, she could have done nothing to develop it in the 16th century (or the 18th, apparently), because \u201cshe would have been so thwarted and hindered by other people [and] tortured and pulled asunder by her own contrary instincts.\u201d (The whole chapter is here.)\nI certainly don\u2019t have the feminist or musical insight any more to make a point other than, \u201cWhat a shame,\u201d but at least we\u2019re remembering her birthday.\nTuesday Project Roundup: Big Enough For A Sixpack And A Sock Monkey\nJuly 29, 2008 By Karen in knitting, Tuesday Project Roundup 2 Comments\nI decided to revisit the cotton knitted bag pattern that turned out too small to hold anything except a tomato, and the result is I overcompensated, ran out of yarn, used up some odds and ends to finish, and ended up with a bag that\u2019s big enough for a watermelon and looks like a sock monkey*:\nThe bag stretches a lot; it could probably hold TWO watermelons. But it\u2019s useful and it\u2019s finished. I\u2019m so tired of knitting with cotton, though\u2013it\u2019s time to break out wool and start planning fall projects.\n*Monsieur Le Singe, Guiseppi Tomasi, was something I made in high school. Because I was cool like that in high school.\nJuly 28, 2008 By Karen in Uncategorized 1 Comment\nAttack it like it\u2019s a bike pedal:\nOr just lay on it and impede progress:\n1. Werner Herzog, the crazy German filmmaker I studied in a college film class, has made a film about McMurdo station in Antarctica. My uncle is returning for another six months in McMurdo in August, so it would be cool to see what a crazy German filmmaker has to say about it in Encounters at the End of the World. The Salt Lake Tribune review can be read here.\n2. My latest favorite TV-on-DVD show is Mad Men, which has yet to make me feel angry or used the way Battlestar Galactic did. I started watching it for the costumes and to see how it compared with agency life today, and now I can\u2019t get enough. Season 2 starts Sunday.\n3. I somehow ended up reading about what you should have in a chicken first aid kit and a story about raccoons trying to kidnap Tickle Me Elmo online this week. I love the internet!\nIn the middle of one night we were awakened to the sound of Tickle Me Elmo laughing his little head off. Upon investigating we found Elmo stuck in the cat door unable to stop laughing and vibrating. The raccoons had abandoned him when they couldn\u2019t squeeze him through the door.\nBecause it\u2019s the birthday of Amelia Earhart and Zelda Fitzgerald and my friend Tiffin. It\u2019s also a day after the birthday of Raymond Chandler, the best detective novelist ever, and a day after the birth of a yet-to-be-named cria at Blue Moon Ranch (I\u2019d call him Nero):\nIt was also pretty special to go four blocks out of my way on my ride in this morning to avoid the crowds of pioneers.\nJuly 23, 2008 By Karen in gardening 2 Comments\nI\u2019ve finally stopped complaining how far behind and puny my garden is, because you can\u2019t really do that if the tomato plants are as tall as you. The ripening is still a little behind schedule, but at least the plants look healthy, if not completely out of control.\nI planted mostly tomatoes:\nAnd some zucchini, because about 85% of vegetarian recipes involve zucchini.\nI have a feeling I will regret the zucchini in a month, but right now I\u2019m still excited.\nTuesday Project Roundup: It\u2019s A Skirt AND A Picnic Blanket\nJuly 22, 2008 By Karen in sewing, Tuesday Project Roundup\nI think you can see why:\nDetails: Vintage 70\u2019s pattern, plaid from JoAnn, very large useful pockets, doubles as a picnic blanket/tablecloth when seated.\nDear Emmylou Harris\nYou are awesome and I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t realize it until the concert last night. I knew you sang backup for some good Neil Young albums and I remember seeing you in Heart of Gold recently and thinking, \u201cWhoa, plastic surgery!\u201d But I really didn\u2019t know what you sounded like on your own, and I have been missing out. I\u2019m going to go find \u201cOrphan Girl\u201d on iTunes now.\nAlso, your dress and boots were great.\nPS: I really shouldn\u2019t have taken your advice from the encore: \u201cTwo More Bottles of Wine.\u201d\n1. Wednesday I made my best riding time to and from work so far: 12 minutes to get there and only 20 minutes to get home. Now I\u2019m pretending I\u2019m competing for the maillot vert!\n2. Wednesday also marked the 63rd anniverasary of the first nuclear bomb test in Los Alamos. I\u2019ve known that Oppenheimer said, famously, \u201cI am become Death, destroyer of worlds\u201d but I didn\u2019t know that he was quoting from the Baghavad Gita:\n\u201cIf the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one. Now I am become Death, destroyer of worlds.\u201d\nSomething else I didn\u2019t know: That Kenneth Bainbridge, the site director of the test, retorted, \u201cNow we are all sons-of-bitches.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The defeat against the armies of the colonies at Yorktown did not destroy Cornwallis\u2019s career. He was too well-connected. Instead, in 1786, he was appointed governor-general of India, where he brought important reforms to the civil service and the judiciary. He also instituted a major land reform and led military campaigns against native uprisings. In 1792, he was made a marquess for his service in India so it was percieved as a successful mission..\nAs governor-general from 1786 to 1793, Charles Cornwallis professionalized, bureaucratized, and Europeanized the company\u2019s administration. He also outlawed private trade by company employees, separated the commercial and administrative functions, and remunerated company servants with generous graduated salaries.\nBecause revenue collection became the company\u2019s most essential administrative function, Cornwallis made a compact with Bengali zamindars, who were perceived as the Indian counterparts to the British landed gentry. The Permanent Settlement system, also known as the zamindari system, fixed taxes in perpetuity in return for ownership of large estates; but the state was excluded from agricultural expansion, which came under the purview of the zamindars. In Madras and Bombay, however, the ryotwari (peasant) settlement system was set in motion, in which peasant cultivators had to pay annual taxes directly to the government.",

        "title": "Chinese Protest Houses Defy Progress",
        "raw_content": "Chinese Protest Houses Defy Progress\nIn Chinese, they're called \"nail houses\" (\u9489\u5b50\u697c or \"ding zi lou\"). These protest abodes stick up for as long as the owner\u2014and ultimately, the Chinese government\u2014allows them to. Then, they're smashed down.\nRecently, Chinese site XinhuaNet ran photos of a nail house in Rui'An, Zhejiang Province. The entire building, save for one corner, has been torn down. Zheng Meiju, the apartment's owner, is refusing to vacate, alleging that the compensation the construction company offered is not sufficient.\nThis past January, the water was shut off. In February, the electricity was turned off. Since then, she's been carrying buckets of water from the village to use for the restroom, cooking, cleaning, and drinking. \"Now the weather is really hot so I head over to a friend's house to cool down,\" said Zheng. \"I come back to sleep at night.\"\nZheng is not an area local and thus has different resident status, which is why she says the construction company offered more money to the Rui'An locals. Compounding the problem is that it's necessary to pour in extra money to fix up the housing that was offered to her, she says. Zheng also claims that she's having financial difficulties and is therefore stuck in this apartment building until she gets a better offer.\nNail houses are not exclusively motivated by money. Often, there is a variety of factors at play. Moreover, nail houses are not strictly Chinese. There are countless examples abroad. The Pixar film Up, for example, featured a nail house.\nOver the years, there have been numerous nail houses in China, and they're increasingly common. During the 1990s, construction companies had more power to \"force\" a compromise. (People aren't \"kicked out\", but rather, a compromise is forced on them.)\nNow, thanks to the internet, a slightly more daring media, and new real estate laws, these protest houses get more exposure in China. And the construction companies (and their government backings) are forced to put up with them longer so as not to look too oppressive, with some residents refusing to leave for years. Allowing them to continue is, in a way, good PR.\nHere's a look back at some of China's nail houses from over the years.\n\u6e29\u5dde\u201c\u7247\u7247\u697c\u201d\u7acb\u5e9f\u589f \u8857\u9053\u79f0\u6237\u4e3b\u8865\u507f\u8981\u6c42\u592a\u9ad8 [Xinhuanet]\nEric Jou contributed to this article.\nPhotos: qjy168, Razno, 1688, ifeng, Bandao, CNHubei, Hexun, Soufun, NewsQQ, Ifeng, SZ.House, Ifeng, Guancha, Henan, People's Daily, TakungPao",

LOUIS \u2013 St. Louis firefighters responded to a salvage yard fire in the North Riverfront neighborhood late Monday afternoon. The fire started around 4:15 p.m. at Riverside Salvage in the 100 block of Humboldt Avenue. Captain Garon Mosby, a spokesman for the St. Louis Fire Department, said the fire ignited as employees were working drain fuel from one of the salvaged vehicles. Gusty winds of up to 40 miles an hour helped the fire spread. The fire quickly spread from [\u2026]\nMiller brings beer battle to A-B\u2019s backyard with taste test\nST. LOUIS \u2013 Back in September, Miller Brewing Company sent a film crew to downtown St. Louis to conduct a secret taste test among local beer drinkers. The test, filmed for an online ad, asked St. Louisans to sample two different beers (labeled \u201cA\u201d and \u201cB\u201d) and record their preferences by color, scent, and taste. Approximately three out of four St. Louisans who took the taste test (361 people) picked Miller Lite over Bud Light.

He then joined the youth set-up at Brazilian giants Palmeiras in 2013.\nJesus\u2019 talent came to the attention of all in Brazil when he scored a jaw-dropping 54 goals in 48 games in his first year at the club before 37 goals in 22 U17 Campeonato Paulista games in the next season.\nFollowing his debut for Palmeiras\u2019 first team in March 2015, the teenage sensation scored 19 goals in 41 games playing at the top level of the Brazilian game whereas he currently has five goals in six matches for the Brazilian national team.\nMajor tournament experience\nGabriel\u2019s Selecao beat the likes of Uruguay and Portugal on the way to the 2015 U20 final before a defeat to Serbia in the New Zealand tournament.\nFollowing that, Jesus was promoted to the first team and was crucial to the nation\u2019s Olympics Gold medal success on their home soil.\nPlaying with the stars\nIt\u2019s unlikely that Jesus will be fazed by his new glamorous surroundings in Manchester as the 19-year-old has already played alongside major names in some of the biggest matches in world football.\nJesus has lead the line for Brazil in matches such as the 3-0 thrashing of Argentina in November alongside the likes of Barcelona\u2019s Neymar and Liverpool\u2019s Phillipe Coutinho.\nBringing Palmeiras back to life\nPalmeiras are not only one of the biggest clubs in the vast metropolis of Sao Paulo, they are the most successful team in the history of Brazil\u2019s national championship with nine titles.\nHowever, before Jesus\u2019 talent inspired the club to glory in this year\u2019s Serie A, they had not lifted the title since 1994.\nPersonal accolades\nThe new City striker\u2019s blistering form during 2015 not only saw his Palmeiras side lift the Copa do Brasil trophy, he was also chosen as the winner of the prestigious \u2018Best Newcomer\u2019 award in Brazilian football.\nBrazilian excitement\nHaving been likened to many of the great Brazilian attacking talents of the last decade including Neymar and Robinho, Jesus has really gripped the imagination of the Brazilian public.\nThe 19-year-old\u2019s form since arriving at the top of the professional game has even attracted the attention of striking legend Ronaldo.\nSmoothie ritual\nVera Lucia, Jesus\u2019 mother and biggest fan, ensures she is in communication with her son before every match.\nAs well as wishing him the best of luck, she insists on checking up that he has polished off her \u2018miraculous\u2019 banana and oat smoothie recipe for avoiding cramps.\nHis determination to impress means that he works just as hard off the ball as on it.\nBruno Petri, his youth coach, said: \u201cHe is a boy who is easy to speak with and work with and who is different to the others in training, always giving more than 100 per cent.\u201d\nYou can see pictures from Gabriel\u2019s life on his Instagram profile at @dejesusoficial but as his profile says: \u201cN\u00e3o uso Twitter\u201d.\n- MAN CITY CONFIRM GABRIEL JESUS MOVE\n- GABRIEL JESUS TO WEAR NUMBER 33 SHIRT\n- PICTURE SPECIAL: GABRIEL JESUS ARRIVES AT MAN CITY\n- GABRIEL JESUS' FIRST INTERVIEW WITH CITYTV\nGabriel Jesus wins Brazilian league title\nThings We Love: Guardiola gold and standing alone\nWhat's caught our attention on the world wide web this week?\nIn our latest edition of Things We Love, Man City Club Journalist Caroline Oatway rounds up the best of the internet's offerings from the past seven days\u2026\nThe day they were born: Pep Guardiola\nCity boss Josep Guardiola celebrates his 46th birthday on this day, 18 January 2017 \u2013 but what else was happening when the Catalan was born?\nThe day they were born: Pep Guardiola - we look at events and popular culture around the birth of the City boss....\nHorsfield signs new City deal and joins NAC Breda\nManchester City youngster James Horsfield has signed a one-year contract extension that will see him remain at the Club until June 2018 and joined NAC Breda on loan until the end of the season.\nManchester City youngster James Horsfield has signed a one-year contract extension and joined NAC Breda on loan",

The study of these relationships will emphasize across-taxa examinaton of behavioural solutions as well as behavioural compromises in response to specific environmental regimes. Where appropriate, emphasis will be placed on mathematical or descriptive modelling, the degree of generalization among taxa, and the quantification of relationships as a predictive tool in ethology.

        "raw_content": "Gordon Gould was born in New York City in 1920. As a child, he idolized Thomas A. Edison and other inventors, with the encouragement of his mechanically-minded mother. Later, Gould himself would conceive and design one of the most significant inventions of the 20th century: the laser.\nIn 1957, Gould was working toward a PhD in Physics at Columbia University, where Physics research was booming. Among others, Charles Townes, the inventor of the maser (1951), was teaching there. Gould, whose former specialty was classical optics, was doing research in microwave spectroscopy. One Saturday night, Gould was inspired \"in a flash\" with a revolutionary idea: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, or the \"laser.\"\nA light-wave amplifier would be much more powerful than a maser (which amplifies microwaves), since every photon of light has a hundred thousand times more energy than a photon of microwave energy. By the end of that weekend, Gould had designed a device that he predicted could heat a substance to the temperature of the sun in a millionth of a second.\nFearing competition, Gould abandoned his doctorate in order to focus on bringing his invention into production quickly. He spent 1958 refining and improving his model, but he did not file for a patent until 1959, believing that he had to build a prototype before filing. Unfortunately, this resulted in a 20-year legal battle, which Gould finally won in 1977, when the first of his laser patents was issued.\nBy then, Gould's laser technology was already being used in countless practical applications, including welding, scanning, and surgery. But he had not been idle meanwhile. As professor at the Polytechnic Institute of New York (1967-1973), Gould founded the laser research lab and an entire new department. In 1973, Gould co-founded an optical communications company, where he earned additional patents before retiring in 1985. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1991. Gould died on September 16, 2005.",

From period to period, and from place to place, certain standards of conduct have been listed as acceptable, and others nonacceptable. These standards have not necessarily been the same in different places at the same time, nor at different times in the same place. Seldom among society as a whole have these accepted standards of conduct been written in the form of law, or for that matter written at all.

Poem read at the Old Bailey\nExtracts from a paper which was said to have advocated anarchy, and verses of a poem which asked that landlords should do the fighting, were read at the Old Bailey yesterday. Three men and a woman pleaded not guilty to having conspired to seduce from duty persons in the Forces and to cause disaffection. They are: Vernon Richards (29), civil engineer, and Marie Louise Richards (26), secretary, both of Eton Place, Hampstead; John Christopher Hewetson (32), medical practitioner, Willow Road, Hampstead; and Philip Richard Sansom (28), commercial artist, Camden Street, N.W.\nThey also pleaded not guilty to endeavouring to cause disaffection by disseminating copies of a paper called \u201cWar Commentary.\u201d The two Richards were further charged with having a leaflet headed: \u201cFight? What for?\u201d\nThe Attorney General (Sir Donald Somervell) said that \u201cWar Commentary\u201d was a paper which was headed \u201cFor anarchism.\u201d\nAmong the objects of the anarchists\u2019 movement was opposition to all means of maintaining a class-divided society \u2014 Parliament, the legal system, the police, armed Forces and the Church.\u201d\n\u201cThe principle these people advocated,\u201d said Sir Donald, \u201cis an armed revolution.\u201d\n\u201c\u2018Hold on to your arms,\u2019 is an expression repeated in two successive numbers of the paper.\u201d\nSir Donald read a circular letter, which was headed Freedom Press, 27, Belsize Road, October 25, 1944, and began \u201cDear Comrades.\u201d One extract read:\n\u201cSoldiers\u2019 councils\n\u201cThese discussions bring sympathy and unity of feeling to barrack rooms which authority is always trying to split...Solidarity frightens authority. You should therefore, do everything possible to establish closer contacts...\n\u201cOne of the most important questions, in our opinion, is that of the action of soldiers\u2019 councils in a revolutionary situation.\u201d\nWhen Mr. Justice Birkett asked the meaning of \u201cC.P.\u201d in the letter and Sir Donald replied \u201cCommunist Party\u201d there was a burst of laughter from the public benches.\nThe charge against Richards and his wife related to a poem in the leaflet \u201cFight? What for?\u201d Two verses read:\nYour country, who says you\u2019ve a country?\nYou live in another man\u2019s flat.\nYou haven\u2019t even a backyard.\nSo why should you murder for that?\nYou haven\u2019t a hut or a building.\nNo flower, no garden, it\u2019s true;\nThe landlords have grabbed all the country;\nLet them do the fighting \u2014 not you.\nDenials by soldiers\nA number of soldiers in whose possession copies of \u201cWar Commentary,\u201d or the circular letter, have been found gave evidence, and said they had not been disaffected.\nThe Attorney-General said he would not press against Sansom the charge referring to the dissemination of \u201cWar Commentary.\u201d\nMr. John Maude, K.C., for the defence, maintained that none of the accused had had the slightest intention of disaffecting any man in the Army.\nThe hearing was adjourned until today, and the accused were released on bail.\nReproduced via - http://theanarchistlibrary.org\nWar Commentary\nAnarchism and the British warfare state: the prosecution of the 'war commentary' anarchists, 1945\nThe Poetry of Dissent",

        "raw_content": "Who Should Use These Weapons?\nGlock 30/30sf/30s Review: Breakdown\nGlock 30/30sf/30s Review: Comfort and Shootability\nReview of: Glock 30/30sf/30s\nI think this goes without saying with a \ufeffGlock\ufeff.\nFor all they have going for them, Glocks aren\u2019t exactly notoriously accurate\nDepends on who you ask. Some people love the grip, some people hate it.\nGlock 30s aren\u2019t the most aesthetically pleasing weapons out there.\nGlocks are extremely easy to customize and add aftermarket parts to.\nVery high quality weapons, but they are pretty pricey.\nThe Glock 30 is a good weapon for concealed carry, and has a lot of features that you will like.\nIn this article, we will review three of Glock\u2019s offerings in .45ACP, the Glock 30, 30SF, and 30S. These weapons are all built around a subcompact frame, which means that they are smaller and size, and are great options for concealed carry.\nIf you are looking for an extremely high quality .45ACP pistol that you can comfortably concealed carry, continue reading on for our full review of the Glock 30 pistols. These weapons will be reviewed in terms of their pros, cons, and best uses.\nThe Glock 30 pistols are primarily aimed for concealed carry and self defense uses.\nHowever, this does not mean that the pistols aren\u2019t excellent for other uses as well. As you can expect from Glock, these are extremely high quality weapons.\nHowever, due to the fact that they shoot .45ACP but are also small, light, and very durable, these weapons are also commonly used as hunting sidearms. This specific round is very deadly, and the smaller size allows hunters to carry them all day without feeling dragged down.\nBut, like with most pistols, the uses are not limited. The Glock 30 pistols would be good for home defense, and are also relatively enjoyable to shoot at the range. More on that later.\nNext up in our review of the Glock 30 pistols, we will talk about some of the measurable statistics of the weapons.\nAs we mentioned earlier in the review, there are a few different versions. We will be focused on the Glock 30 Gen 4, the Glock 30SF, and the Glock 30S.\nThe Glock 30 Gen 4 and Glock 30SF are the exact same size. These pistols measure 6.88 inches long, 4.8 inches tall, and 1.27 inches wide. They have a 3.77 inch barrel, and they weigh 26.3 ounces unloaded. Their magazine capacity is 10+1, with an optional 13+1 magazine available.\nThe difference between these two weapons is the Short Frame (SF). Basically, what this means is that the Glock 30SF has a smaller, slimmer grip. The part of the weapon that you actually wrap your hand around is smaller. For shooters with smaller hands, this is a huge pro.\nThe Glock 30S has the same measurable stats as the other two weapons, with one key difference. The Glock 30S is built on a 30SF frame, but it has a smaller slide. This slide reduces the amount of metal in the weapon, which reduces the weight of the weapon to only 22.95 ounces when unloaded. For concealed carry, this is something that you will enjoy.\nOne of the biggest pros of all Glocks is how easy they are to maintain. The Glock 30 pistols are no different.\nTo start with, the Glock 30 doesn\u2019t require as much maintenance as some of its competition. Glocks are notoriously durable, and can take a beating. While we certainly don\u2019t recommend being rough on your pistol unnecessarily, it can take it. There\u2019s a reason that they are used by so many police departments and militaries around the world.\nBack to the maintenance though, Glocks are extremely easy to maintain. Like we mentioned, this is one of the main reasons that people love them. They are extremely easy to take down, and they have very few internal parts. This makes it a very easy weapon to clean and maintain.\nAnother huge pro of Glocks is their reliability. We mentioned it earlier when talking about the maintenance of the weapon, but Glocks have almost no internal parts. As such, there is very little internally in the weapon that can go wrong.\nIt is not heard of for Glocks to last for 60,000 rounds. This is undeniably one of the biggest pros of the weapon. Buying any of the Glock 30s will be an investment that will last for years to come.\nGlocks are extremely safe weapons\u200b\nSafety is somewhat of a point of contention with Glocks, and is one of their biggest concerns to some people. Before getting into the one fact that some don\u2019t like, let us start by saying that Glocks are extremely safe weapons. In fact, Glocks utilize three different safeties. Two of these are internal, and will protect from accidental discharges if you drop the weapon, and the other is a trigger safety.\nOne complaint that some have against Glocks is they don\u2019t have a manual thumb safety. However, as we just said, these are very safe weapons, so this really shouldn\u2019t be a concern.\nOne other con in the eyes of some firearms users is the comfort and ergonomics of Glocks. Not everyone loves the grip and how the weapon feels in your hand.\nHowever, as with many aspects of Glocks, this is kind of a topic of debate. For as many people as there are that dislike the grip, there are others that really like it, and think it feels natural. While we like the way Glocks feel, we recommend that you try it out for yourself to see how it fits you.\nFor the Glock 30 specifically though, since it is a subcompact weapon built in the classic Glock mold, it may be slightly more difficult to grip, especially if you have larger hands. The smaller size of the weapon will make it slightly more difficult to hold than its larger counterparts.\nIf you\u2019ve got smaller hands, the Glock 30SF or Glock 30S will be a better fit for you.\nIn terms of shootability, the Glock 30 is not as enjoyable to shoot as some of the other Glock weapons for one primary reason: you are shooting .45ACP out of a subcompact weapon. The smaller grip makes it harder to control the increased recoil.\nShootability is the worst in the Glock 30S, due to the reduced weight. This will make the recoil even more exaggerated.\nIf you are looking for a range gun, the Glock 30 pistols will certainly work, but there may be better options to check out. This is one of the cons of the Glock 30 specifically.\nAnother huge pro of Glock weapons is how easy they are to upgrade. There are literally hundreds of aftermarket parts available, both internal and cosmetic. From new slide stop plates to extended mags to upgraded internal parts such as springs and triggers, you are able to find any parts you could possibly want.\nWith so few internal parts, it is really easy to replace and upgrade them as you go as well.\nHopefully our Glock 30 review has been helpful to you. While this weapon is primarily aimed at concealed carry and self defense, there are a few other uses that this weapon would serve well at. While there are certainly plenty of options out there, we recommend you check out a Glock 30 at some point.\n1 thought on \u201cGlock 30/30sf/30s Review \u2013 The Best .45ACP for Concealed Carry\u201d\nI carry a Glock 30 for my EDC. I am 78 years young. I am 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. I have medium sized hands. The recoil is totally manageable. I can rapid fire all eleven rounds (10+1) and shoot a fist sized group at 7 yards. The longest potential shot distance in my house is 17 feet. For me, this is the perfect handgun.",

        "raw_content": "10 February 2018 /in News/by Lilieci.ro\nFollowing our call to vote for the Romanian bat of the year, more than 400 of you have voiced your opinion. Thank you! The winner of the public vote, and hence, of the title \u201cBat of the year\u201d in 2018 in Romania is:\nM\u00e9hely\u2019s horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus mehelyi)\nTypical for caves, rare and vulnerable, with under 1.000 bats in Romania.\nA total of 413 votes were cast, out of which Rhinolophus mehelyi gathered 211 votes (51.1%), while Pipistrellus pipistrellus gathered 147 (35.6%) and large Myotis gathered 55 (13.3%). The voting period started in 6th of December 2017 and lasted till the 26th of January 2018, the public having 51 days to choose their favorite.\nThe designation of Bat of the year exists in several European countries, and is based on the importance of the bat species for our environment, or on its research aspects. Sometimes the species is selected due to cross-border links, such as seasonal migration, that does not take into account classical boundaries. At the same time, the designation has a role in raising awareness about the species among the general public. Currently, the European Bat of the year for 2018 is the lesser horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus hipposideros), that gathered 91 votes (40.63%) out of a total of 224.\nBut let\u2019s talk about our winner, Mehely\u2019s horseshoe bat, one of the five horseshoe bats of Romania, named after Hungarian bat researcher Lajos M\u00e9hely.\nM\u00e9hely\u2019s horseshoe bat is one of five horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus) species of Romania, and the largest of the three medium-sized Rhinolophus species. It can be identified based on the nasal formations, which are typical of these species, and through which they emit ultrasounds, in the range of 104-112 kHz. The fur of the ventral side (their belly), often white, is in sharp contrast with the fur on their dorsal side (their back), which is grey-brown. Adult bats seem to have brown-dark circle of hair around their eyes, making the impression that they are wearing glasses, spectacles (1). However, this is not an identification key, since other species might also have often such \u201eglasses\u201d.\nThe species is an exclusive cave-dweller, preferring warm caves or other underground shelters (ex. mines, bunkers) located below 700 m altitude, and extensive karstic areas (1). It often forms mixed colonies with other medium sized horseshoe bat species, and other cave-dwelling species. R. mehelyi hunts in a variety of habitats, from deciduous forests, steppe areas, pastures, sometimes farmland, and shows a clear preference for open habitats. Its diet consists predominantly (in over 94%) of moths (2, 3). Although sedentary in nature, R. mehelyi can migrate at distances of up to 94-100 km (1, 4).\nThe species, being very sensitive, can be affected by the disturbance and degradation of underground roosts, but also by the loss of feeding habitats (pastures, meadows). The Romanian population of the species, especially in the Dobrogea region was significantly affected by the loss of roosting sites, mainly caves, due to the high frequency of uncontrolled cave visits. Intensive agriculture largely contributed to the modification/fragmentation of feeding areas (5).\nThe drastic decrease of colony size (from over 5.000 to a few hundred) in Dobrogea is also combined with low genetic variability (6), and can lead to the extinction of this regional population in Romania. Although new colonies and distribution areas have been recently discovered (5), the preferred habitats of the species (deciduous forests, steppe areas, etc.) remain threatened. The total European population is around 50.000 bats (1), while the Romania population is likely to be less than 1.000 bats. Due to its fragmented distribution and significant population declines, IUCN classifies M\u00e9hely\u2019s horseshoe bat as vulnerable (7).\nMore information on R. mehelyi (also used in our article):\nDietz, C. & Kiefer, A.

        "raw_content": "COLUMBIA AND HER REJECTED SUITOR.\nA fond yet sardonic tribute to the aging Massachusetts statesman Daniel Webster, whose final bid for the Whig presidential nomination was defeated by Winfield Scott in 1852. The artist is wryly critical of the apparent Whig predilection for military candidates. The print seems to have appeared in the fall of 1852 (the Library's copyright deposit impression was registered on September 18), at around the time Webster, running as an independent candidate, withdrew, mortally ill, to his estate at Marshfield. He died on October 24, 1852.\nWebster is shown as a schoolboy, standing before the U. S. Capitol building, holding the hand of Columbia, a young girl with an American flag as a sash. In her free hand, she holds a pole topped with a Phrygian cap. Nodding coyly, Columbia says, \"Though my Guardians at Baltimore won't let me have you--believe me, Daniel, I love and honor you for all your past devotion and services, and can never forget you. If you had neglected your \"Books\" and \"Slate,\" and attended more to \"Fencing\" and \"Gymnastics,\" you might have succeeded better.\"\nWebster stoically responds, \"Notwithstanding the past, I am still your friend, and when you are in difficulty you may command my services.\" In the foreground lie his books, slate, and cap. In the background, two unidentified men are engaged in a fencing match.",

        "title": "Hilton Head Lakes - A Hidden Gem - Yost Group Properties",
        "raw_content": "June 14, 2018 by MissyYost Leave a Comment\nThe first time I made the trip to Hilton Head from Cincinnati we took exit 8 off I-95. The Exit was not much to write home about. There was a small sign suggesting Hilton Head and Sun City was near as well as a few gas stations with touristy shops. So, we turned towards Hilton Head on Highway 278 and began the 20-minute drive to the Island. About five minutes into our ride, we could see towers that lined the left and right sides of the street. As we passed, we were amazed by the beauty of the entrance. The waterfalls and landscaping suggested that something extraordinary lay behind those entrances. At the time, we didn\u2019t know that we would eventually call this community our home and that it genuinely did offer luxury living at an affordable price.\nHilton Head Lakes has quite a history. Its story began as \u201cThe Traditions\u201d in 2005. The original plan included 9,500 homes, 1.5 million square feet of commercial space, recreational areas, school sites, and new emergency services. By May of that year, only about 30 homes were built. By January, the bank began foreclosure proceedings on about one-third of the project, and the City of Hardeeville would not allow any further developing of the community until the developer paid the $1 million promised towards the new fire station. The other two-thirds of the development was also in a separate foreclosure.\nIn 2010, Hilton Head Lakes, who already owned the development on the south side of the street took ownership of The Traditions on the north side of the street, and the development was resuscitated. With the purchase, Hilton Head Lakes could develop a Lake Side, with a higher price point and navigatable boating lakes, and a Golf Side, with a lower price point and a Fazio Golf Course.\nThe new development still faced obstacles and was slow to develop. But, it was slow and steady that won the race. By the end of 2015, many of the homesites on the North Side were purchased, and construction was booming. By the end of 2017, most of the first phase was fully developed. Enter Latitude Margaritaville.\nIn May 2017, it was announced that Latitude Margaritaville, a Mintos Development, had purchased the Development of Hilton Head Lakes South (The boating side) to build a new 55+ community. With the purchase, Hilton Head Lakes could now concentrate on fully developing their golf side.\nSoon after the sale to Latitude Margaritaville, Hilton Head Lakes began developing a new area inside the development. Also, they have built a new Golf Clubhouse with a Bar & Grill (opening soon), a new Amenities Center with a pool, pickleball courts, a fitness center, and a residents clubhouse (opening in 2018). The development also has one of the best (if not the best) public golf course in the entire area.\nAs a resident of this community, there are intangible benefits that make this community one of the best communities in the area. The neighbors are social, caring, and engaged. There is no such thing as an outsider here. We are all from different places and backgrounds and in different phases of our lives, but we share the common bond of community. Our social committees organize Euchre, Bunco, Golf, Pickleball, Garden Club, Book Club, on and on and friendly neighbors, that know your name, wave from their golf carts, bicycles, or while walking their dogs. This community is inviting, and I am proud to call it home.\nUnfortunately, because Hilton Head Lakes has been a slow and steady development, it fell off the radar of many local Realtors. If you haven\u2019t visited in a while, come to see how it\u2019s changed. If you\u2019ve never been here, come to see what you\u2019re missing. There are some great resale homesites with water views beginning in the 60s which is significantly less than the ones offered at the Sales Office. Any Realtor can give you more information on the resales. And, if you purchase a homesite, you can use the onsite builder or bring in your own custom builder. There is no time limit for building.",

        "raw_content": "Store International Direct Taxation in Relation to the Freedom of Establishment and the Free Movement of Capital\nDirect Taxation in Relation to the Freedom of Establishment and the Free Movement of Capital\nBy Mattias Dahlberg\nDirect taxation is considered as an area within the almost exclusive competence of the individual Member States of the European Union. Some politicians believe that if the European Union intervenes in the tax systems of the Member States, the financing of the public sector of the Member States could be at risk. Even against this background, however, the European Union has exercised considerable influence in the area of direct taxation of Member States. Despite the fact that unanimity among the Member States is required to reach a Community decision in the area of direct taxation, it is now clear that the European Union has gained legal competence in the field. The adoption of pertinent directives is clear evidence of that. Of greater significance, however, is the increasing number of cases in which the European Court of Justice decides that specific elements of national tax legislation are in breach of fundamental freedoms provided for in the EC Treaty.\nThis major new study analyses the case-law of the European Court of Justice on the freedom of establishment and the free movement of capital in matters of direct taxation. The author identifies two areas where cases from the European Court of Justice are especially important: what constitutes discrimination, and which circumstances may justify such discrimination. Among his specific approaches to the complex issues involved may be noted the following:\nthe Court's interpretation of discrimination and restriction, both in general and in particular regarding the freedom of establishment and the free movement of capital;\nthe grounds of justification, according to the rule-of-reason doctrine, accepted by the Court, such as the prevention of tax abuse, the preservation of fiscal coherence, the effectiveness of fiscal supervision, and the fiscal principle of territoriality;\ngrounds rejected by the Court, such as lack of harmonisation, counterbalancing advantages, a new form of establishment being seen as subject to equal treatment, lack of Community competence in the field of tax treaty law, and the protection of tax revenue;\nthe characteristics of national legislation on direct taxation that the Court has found to be in breach of the freedom of establishment and the free movement of capital;\nthe neutrality between different forms of establishment, in the form of either a branch or a subsidiary (the pending Marks & Spencer case is subject to a thorough analysis in this respect);\nthe degree of convergence between the freedom of establishment and the free movement of capital, especially in cases on direct taxation; and\nthe territorial extension of the free movement of capital.\nDirect Taxation in Relation to the Freedom of Establishment and the Free Movement of Capital uncovers the present principal standpoints of the Court, how those standpoints have evolved, and how they are likely to develop in the coming years. As all proposals on unified corporate taxation of the European Union must consider the findings of the European Court of Justice on the compatibility of national tax legislation with Community law, and as individual Member States must consider and follow the case-law of the European Court of Justice when revising old tax legislation and adopting new legislation in this area, the significance of this penetrating analysis cannot be underestimated. It will be of immeasurable value not only to European policymakers and tax lawyers, but to tax and business lawyers worldwide engaged in European commerce.\nAbbreviations. 1. Introduction. 2.

        "title": "What Makes Me A Stage Manager \u2013 My Little Corner Of The Universe:",
        "raw_content": "Posted byLukas C\t January 16, 2015 May 10, 2016 Leave a comment on What Makes Me A Stage Manager\nWhat is a Stage Manager?\nTaken right from Wikipedia, which sums it up very nicely:\nStage management is the practice of organizing and coordinating a theatrical production. It encompasses a variety of activities, including organizing the production and coordinating communications between various personnel (e.g., between director and backstage crew, or actors and production management). Stage management is a sub-discipline of stagecraft. Stage managers may use a Stage Manager\u2019s book to help organize the production.\nA stage manager is one who has overall responsibility for stage management and the smooth execution of a production. Stage management may be performed by an individual in small productions, while larger productions typically employ a stage management team consisting of a head stage manager, or \u201cProduction Stage Manager\u201d, and one or more assistant stage managers.\nHow Am I A Stage Manager?\nI have been applying the label of Stage Manager to myself since 2004, since I was given that title in my high school drama club. I grew more into that role during my years at UW \u2013 Parkside and Sunset Playhouse, and since have found that that title applies to so much more outside of the theater world.\nThe Stage Manager\u2019s job begins by going through the script and throughly researching every line, stage direction, and footnote that they are going to need to understand and run during the course of the show. This step comes in before they even get to the first production meeting or rehearsal. I look at life as very scripted, since many life events are predictable (in my eyes), such as when I\u2019m going to be in school, when I\u2019ll be at work, when specific television shows come on, when certain movies come out, so on and so forth. I\u2019ve arranged my own music library on this concept \u2013 that one can predict one\u2019s own life:\n#28DaysOfSaving @mintdotcomblog Getting Organized: My 7,332 song music library is organized by the year it was relevant to me.\nA photo posted by Lukas Condie (@lukascondie) on Feb 5, 2014 at 12:52pm PST\nFrom there, the Stage Manager organizes their \u201cPromptbook\u201d or binder with all the information related to the show they are working on, which acts as a living bible for the production. I do this with the different aspects of my personal life. I have a binder with all the paperwork related to my car, I have a binder with all the paperwork related to my health, I have a binder with all the paperwork related to my finances, ect.\nFrom an electronic perspective, I look at my cloud storages such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, etc as my e-Promptbooks, with any notes I find on the internet or want to save in my everyday thoughts organized on there.\nThe Stage Manager monitors their cast during the rehearsal and production process, and I feel the same way about my own circle of friends. I tend to identify as the \u201cmother\u201d of my own groups.\nDuring the performance, the stage manager is \u201ccalling\u201d the cues, be they lights, sounds, special effects, and many other types. In other words, they are orchestrating everything is going on using language on headsets connected throughout the performance space. I see life events, online posts, and life moments as my own cues that my mind is orchestrating around me. This is the core of my belief in the phrase \u201cEverything happens for a reason.\u201d\nFinally, after the performances are over, it\u2019s the stage manager\u2019s last job to coordinate \u201cstrike\u201d or the takedown of the production. I find myself in various settings that are similar to this, such as the closing shift in a restaurant, or moving from one place to another. The more I go through these processes, I better I am able to create closure on my life events, and process them better mentally and emotionally.\nAt the end of the day, I identify as a stage manager because it accurately sums up how I view my life on a day-to-day level.\nPosted byLukas C January 16, 2015 May 10, 2016 Posted inWhat Makes Me",

        "title": "Cops Bust a Burlington Pot Shop That Hid in Plain Sight | Crime | Seven Days | Vermont's Independent Voice",
        "raw_content": "News + Opinion \u00bb Crime\nGood Times owner Derek Spilman being detained by Burlington Police\nUpdated January 29, 2019 at 8:50 p.m.\nAuthorities on Tuesday raided a Church Street business that had been selling marijuana for months in the shadow of Burlington City Hall. They arrested Derek Spilman, the longtime owner of Good Times Gallery, on unspecified charges.\nRoughly 20 federal, state and local law enforcement officers participated in the bust, which unfolded at dusk under a light snowfall on the Church Street Marketplace. As Burlington Police Department officers led Spilman away in handcuffs, plainclothes agents poured out of city hall, where the raid had been staged, and into Good Times to assist with a search.\nBurlington Lt. Jim Trieb said that the officers were executing a sealed federal warrant. City cops were joined by agents from the state Division of Liquor Control, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Trieb said.\nAuthorities took action shortly after Seven Days published an earlier version of this story online. It noted that law enforcement officials had known for at least three months that Spilman was dealing drugs out of his store.\nLast week, a Seven Days reporter witnessed him selling buds over the counter and heard him say that the edibles for sale in his shop were infused with THC, the psychoactive chemical in marijuana. At least one customer appeared to be a teenager.\nRelated Feds Say Burlington Pot Shop Owner Possessed Guns, Sold to Minors\nThough Vermont legalized the adult use, possession and cultivation of pot last summer, it remains illegal to sell it under state and federal law.\nThose advocating for full legalization in Vermont said they worried that Good Times' actions might jeopardize their push for a regulated cannabis market \u2014 and they wondered why they had to abide by the law when Good Times did not. They also questioned what took authorities so long to crack down on the joint, given its prominent location between Red Square and Honey Road.\n\"This has been going on since July,\" Timothy Fair, a Burlington attorney and advocate who specializes in cannabis laws, said before the raid. \"We have office-pool bets every month about when they're going to be shut down, and they keep going. Honestly, it drives me crazy.\"\nAfter receiving a tip last year \"involving the sale of cannabis,\" a plainclothes liquor control officer conducted a sting on the shop in late December, according to DLC enforcement chief Skyler Genest. (The division has jurisdiction over Good Times because the establishment holds a license to sell smoking paraphernalia.)\nThe investigator seized evidence from the store, Genest said, and the DLC had been using forensic testing to determine \"what, in fact, was for sale at this licensed premises.\" He said Monday that he expected \"tangible results ... by the end of the week.\"\nThe Burlington Police Department had been conducting its own investigation, though it didn't appear to have been a priority until recently. Asked about it last Friday, Chief Brandon del Pozo said his department had heard \"in the last few weeks\" that Good Times was selling pot.\nAt first, the chief downplayed the situation, noting that the state might soon legalize the sale of cannabis. \"There are some places that look like they're getting into the commercial marijuana business a little early,\" he said.\nIn the midst of an opioid epidemic, del Pozo argued, the city had bigger problems on its hands. \"In the context of limited resources, if we had to choose between conducting a fentanyl investigation and a marijuana investigation, we would prioritize investigating the product that has clearly killed people,\" he said.\nIn subsequent interviews, del Pozo suggested that the Good Times probe had become a higher priority. He said he was particularly concerned that the store might be selling pot to minors. On Monday, the chief revised his timeline. He said the BPD had received a tip as far back as last October that Good Times was selling marijuana and Adderall, a commonly abused prescription stimulant.\nAccording to Mayor Miro Weinberger, the cops picked up the pace of their investigation after learning that Seven Days was looking into the matter. \"Your reporting on the specific retailer caused them to accelerate some actions, because they realized they were going to lose their window to act before your story,\" the mayor said. He added that investigations of other suspected dealers in the area were \"well along.\"\nWeinberger called selling pot from a storefront \"a more brazen act\" than doing so in private spaces.\n\"If they're selling certain edible products, I do have concerns about that, because a lot of those could be marketed toward youths or kids,\" said Justin Jiron, Chittenden County's chief deputy state's attorney.\nA spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney for the District of Vermont declined to comment.\nSpilman's arrest Tuesday wasn't his first. In 2004, according to court records, he was charged with unlawful restraint after apprehending a group of suspected shoplifters and tying them up in the back of his store. Police alleged at the time that he and an associate had menaced them with pit bulls and a skill saw \u2014 and wrote \"thief\" on their foreheads in magic marker.\nSpilman pled down to simple assault and was given a year of probation and 200 hours of community service.\nIn recent months, Good Times wasn't exactly subtle about its business practices. The head shop, which has existed in various locations on Church Street for more than 15 years, no longer focused on selling bongs and T-shirts, and it no longer maintained conventional business hours. Its doors were locked into the late afternoon, when it opened \u2014 by appointment only \u2014 for an hour or two at a time.\nIn recent weeks, the store's windows were covered with black curtains. Handwritten signs taped to the door instructed would-be customers to \"send a text for info\" \u2014 but otherwise steer clear.\n\"DON'T (Do NoT) KNOCK!!!\" one sign read. Just below it, another note clarified, \"If YOU CAN'T READ, We CAN'T HEAR YOU!! Don't Be An ASSHOLE!!\"\nLast week, a Seven Days reporter stood outside the store until Spilman unlocked the door and gestured for a young man in a red parka to enter. When the reporter followed them inside, Spilman \u2014 a tall, skinny man in his mid-forties with shoulder-length brown hair tucked under a wide-brimmed hat \u2014 handed the reporter a business card, told him to make an appointment and ushered him back out the door.\nThe card was decorated with pot leaves and advertised \"Headies\" and \"Eddies.\" \"Enjoy & Celebrate Your Freedom,\" it read.\nTen minutes after the reporter texted the number on the card, Spilman responded, \"Swing in ASAP.\"\nInside the store, which reeked of weed, a man and a woman leaned against a counter and admired a glass pipe. The woman asked Spilman how much a quarter-ounce of pot would cost. A third customer crossed the room to withdraw a wad of cash from an ATM. Hip-hop music played on a sound system.\nSpilman rang up the couple, let them out, locked the door and returned to the counter. \"Do you guys have any bud right now?\" the third customer asked. The proprietor said he had a quarter-ounce each of three strains. He reached under the counter to pull out three bags and described their contents.\n\"OK, I'll stick with these two,\" the customer said.\n\"That gonna be it?\" Spilman asked.\nAfter letting him out the door and locking it again, Spilman slipped back behind the counter and showed the reporter \u2014 who had not identified himself as such \u2014 his wares. \"We have sour deezy,\" he said, placing a bag of sour diesel on the counter. \"You can look at it.\" The buds glimmered under the store lights. \"That's LSD,\" he continued, referring to another strain of marijuana in another bag.\n\"And what about the edibles?\" asked the reporter.\n\"Those are all right there,\" Spilman said, gesturing toward a pizza box propped open on the counter. Neatly arranged inside was an array of chocolates, candies and pastries.\nAsked about another set of treats displayed under the counter, Spilman clarified that those were cannabidiol, or CBD, products, which are legal to sell in Vermont. \"And this,\" he said, pointing to the contents of the pizza box, \"is, uh, THC.\"\nSpilman recommended the largest candy bar in the pizza box. \"Yeah, it's 350 \u2014 300 milligrams,\" he said, correcting himself. \"I like it because a couple pieces \u2014 you can take two at a time, no problem.\" He pointed to a pastry. \"This is good, if you can portion it yourself. Cut that into four, and you'll be good.\"\nThe THC, he said, was \"pretty well evenly distributed\" throughout each of the edibles. \"Anything that we've gotten that doesn't work well or that's inferior, we don't reorder. We just basically deal with reputable people, reputable farmers,\" he said. \"And if we didn't make the edibles, it's someone [who's] basically family.\"\nAll but two of the treats were produced in Vermont, Spilman said. The others came from Maine and Massachusetts, where retail sales are legal. Prices, scrawled in magic marker, ranged from $20 to $30.\n\"And how about the bud?\" the reporter asked. \"How much is that going for?\"\nA quarter-ounce of two strains cost $90, Spilman said. A quarter of a single strain was $80.\nWhen the reporter asked if he could think about it and return later, Spilman warned that he was running low on supplies. \"Yeah, text. We're gonna be out,\" he said, noting that it was 5:19 p.m. \"We'll close at 6:15. We're not gonna have enough to last that long.\"\nOn most afternoons, Spilman added, he sold out in an hour. \"I can't believe it's lasted this long,\" he said of that day's supply.\nFair, the cannabis attorney, can't believe that Good Times has lasted this long.\n\"The Church Street Marketplace association wouldn't let buskers play if they didn't audition, and this has been going on for six months,\" Fair said. \"It's kind of mind-boggling on some level.\"\nSome appear to have been oblivious to the commerce. Weinberger, whose office is across the street, said he hadn't noticed a thing. \"I have a lot going on,\" he explained.\nChurch Street Marketplace executive director Ron Redmond said he was equally unaware, adding that it \"would be horrible\" if a marketplace business were, in fact, dealing behind the counter.\nOthers may have preferred to look the other way. Employees of neighboring businesses mostly declined to comment, though Benjamin Higgins, a manager at Quarterstaff Games, which is in the same building as Good Times, said he'd complained to property manager Kevin Day about the chronic smell of pot. Day did not respond to requests for comment; building owner Christine Farrell could not be reached.\nBut for much of Burlington's cannabis community, Good Times was the worst-kept secret around.\nShayne Lynn, executive director of the Champlain Valley Dispensary, said he learned about it from a friend a month ago. \"When I started asking around, I felt like I was the last to know!\" he said.\nAttorney General T.J. Donovan said he was \"definitely aware of rumors\" that Vermont retailers were selling pot. \"I am not na\u00efve enough to think that the market has completely closed down,\" he said.\nDonovan argued that the only way to address the problem was to legalize the sale of marijuana.\n\"We can't tell Vermonters you can possess it and then be silent on how you obtain it,\" he said. \"Because capitalism is going to continue to grow in this area.\"\nSaid Fair, \"They're going to close down Good Times, and then somebody else will pop up. It's whack-a-mole. So why not have regulation to be able to control this?\nCrime Cannabeat Burlington Good Times Gallery",

        "raw_content": "HomeMiscellaneousTop 12 Mistakes New Graduates Should Avoid When Applying For Jobs\nTop 12 Mistakes New Graduates Should Avoid When Applying For Jobs\nJuly 23, 2012 Guest Blogger Miscellaneous 0\nHighlighted below are 12 mistakes that new graduates should avoid when applying for jobs.\nIt is important to research about the company and the job you are applying for. Interviewers want to know why you are seeking employment in their company. If you don\u2019t come up with a convincing answer, you will most probably not be considered for the job.\nAlso, research about the position you are applying for. They would want to know what you know about the position and what you can bring to the company.\nTaking the Job For Granted\nDon\u2019t be cocky and take the job for granted. So what if you had a scholarship at college or great grades? If your attitude puts the company off, you will never get the job. No company wants to hire arrogant employees.\nOverestimating Himself/Herself\nNever overestimate yourself. You don\u2019t know what the company is looking for. Always, give it your best shot and do not look over-confidence. It is important to have a certain level of trust in yourself. However, it should never look \u2018too much\u2019 and come across as cockiness.\nUnderestimating Himself/Herself\nUnderestimating yourself, looking nervous and unprepared for the job impacts your chances of getting the job very negatively. The job market is very tough. It isn\u2019t easy to get a job. If you get an interview, make sure you come across confident and able to do the job well. The \u201cI don\u2019t think I can do it\u2026\u201d attitude negatively impacts your chances of landing the job.\nTalking about Financial Factors\nDo not discuss the salary until you are asked for it. Talking about your debt settlement issues will put you in a bad light. If you are under debt and badly need a job, you don\u2019t need to discuss it with your potential employees. There are debt settlement advice firms for this purpose.\nIgnoring Specific Requests\nAt times, job advertisements have certain points that must be kept in mind. They might be about a specific resume format or interview dress-code. The failure to obey the requests will leave a very bad taste in your potential employer\u2019s mouth and will put you in a bad light.\nAlways, go fully prepared for the interview. It is vital to reach the suggested venue on time. Make it a habit to keep a notepad and a pen with you, in case the need to note anything down arises. You should come across as someone who is really keen on getting the job.\nIf you are required to take certain documents along with you, make sure you do. The failure to produce the documents asked for can disqualify you. Several companies are very strict about such issues. Do not consider them petty and take everything that you\u2019ve been asked for.\nSlip of Tongue\nDuring interviews, due to pressure and other reasons, people often have a slip of tongue. It\u2019s an embarrassing moment where one ends up saying what he or she shouldn\u2019t have had. It might be hard to believe, but this is a major reason for employers denying jobs. Talking about debt settlement or your financial difficulties in an interview is not the right thing, even if you are asked about your financial position.\nNo Back-up Plan\nIn case something goes wrong, there should always be a backup plan. If you have confidence and deem yourself suitable for the job, you will be prepared with a back-up plan. If you\u2019re asked to come for another interview or a test, do not hesitate in saying a yes. Looking confused or lost will show disinterest.\nThinking that Grade Means Everything\nHaving a good GPA is good, but it\u2019s not everything. Companies do not look for geeks, but people who can solve problems. You must come across as an intellect and not a crammer who knows every definition by heart.\nLying about material or immaterial facts is the biggest reason people lose the job. If you do not qualify for the job, do not lie about it in your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 or during the interview. Employers do a good amount of research before offering the contract. Any discrepancy will not only disqualify you, but will also cause you serious image-damage in the long-run.\nThe above article is written by Roxanne Peterson from Consolidated Credit Group. She often advises people to take care of their debt related queries in a smarter way.",

        "raw_content": "HomeIn The OfficeInvestment needed for NZ red meat sector to realise sustainable advantage \u2013 industry report\nIncreased investment into the ethical and sustainable aspects of New Zealand\u2019s red meat production systems can deliver a range of benefits for the sector, according to a recently-released report by agricultural banking specialist Rabobank.\nIn the report, Realising the Sustainable Advantage: How investments in sustainability can benefit the New Zealand red meat sector, Rabobank says in order to address local concerns about the impact livestock farming is having on animals and the environment, regulation of the New Zealand agricultural sector is set to tighten over the next 12 to18 months, requiring the industry to invest more into the ethical and sustainable aspects of its production systems. However, this investment can pay strong dividends to the sector by helping to mitigate risks and providing future market opportunities.\n\u201cWhile it will be challenging in the short to medium term for the sector to pass on the associated cost increases to New Zealand\u2019s offshore customers, changing global trends and market requirements ensure there are benefits to be realised from this investment,\u201d report author, Rabobank animal proteins analyst Blake Holgate says.\n\u201cThese benefits include risk mitigation measures which will help to future proof the red meat sector, as well strategic advantages that position the industry to unlock new markets, develop long-term supply arrangements and influence the direction of future regulation.\u201d\nThe report says the three aspects of red meat production that are most commonly the focus of public, and regulatory, attention in New Zealand are environmental sustainability \u2013 including freshwater use and pollution, loss of biodiversity/land use change \u2013 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and animal welfare.\nHolgate says increased regulation relating to each of these aspects of production was expected in the short to medium-term.\n\u201cIn September 2017, the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management was amended to set a national target of making 90 per cent of New Zealand\u2019s rivers and lakes swimmable by 2040. In order to achieve this target, new stock exclusion rules have been proposed which will require increased on-farm investment in fencing and other mitigation measures,\u201d he comments.\n\u201cThe Minister for the Environment has also this week indicated that it is likely the government will be introducing a new National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management and a new environmental standard by 2020.\u201d\nIn regard to bio-diversity, Holgate says, a draft policy statement for indigenous biodiversity is due to be released for public consultation in late 2018.\n\u201cThere has been no indication of what, if any, implications this will have for red meat farmers, however, with 24 percent of New Zealand\u2019s native vegetation estimated to be on sheep and beef farms, there is potential for rules to be introduced that will further restrict ability to convert any existing native vegetation into pasture in order to expand production.\u201d\nIn addition to these policy developments, the report says a new GHG emissions bill is currently being drafted, while new animal welfare regulations were introduced earlier this month.\n\u201cBy mid-2019, the Zero Carbon Act is expected to be in force, which will put targets into law that require New Zealand to be carbon neutral by 2050. In order to achieve this target, the Productivity Commission recently concluded that agricultural emissions need to be included in the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme. Should that occur, it would introduce a new cost into the farming system in the form of an emissions price,\u201d says Holgate.\n\u201cNew regulations for animal welfare standards also came into force on October 1. The most relevant changes for red meat farmers are the introduction of new minimum standards for castration and stock handling, with further regulations for de-budding and dehorning due to come into effect in a year\u2019s time.\u201d\nBenefits of investment\nThe report says while improvements to the ethical and sustainable aspects of the red meat sector\u2019s production systems will incur a cost, improvements that go beyond minimum compliance standards now will help to reduce risks that could eventuate in the event standards become more arduous in the future.\n\u201cAt the farm level, this investment will help protect against future regulatory changes that may otherwise threaten the viability of the operation and/or necessitate a significant one-off spend. In addition, banks are increasingly incorporating an applicant\u2019s ability to meet certain production standards into their lending assessments,\u201d says Holgate..\n\u201cFor processors, and the sector as a whole, future risk primarily comes in the form of reputational damage. If New Zealand is unable to meet the non-regulatory production standards prescribed by major food retailers and foodservice providers, it will increasingly find itself excluded from these sales channels, and unable to access these markets.\u201d\nHolgate notes beyond risk mitigation, a number of strong strategic advantages would also become available to the New Zealand red meat sector from increased investment into the ethical and sustainability aspects of production.\n\u201cObserving robust production standards will help reinforce New Zealand\u2019s position as a credible and reliable source of ethical and sustainable red meat products in the eyes of global consumers as well as major food buyers and retailers. Adhering to these higher standards will also be an important complement to the other aspects of New Zealand\u2019s production systems, such as pasture-raised, that underpin New Zealand\u2019s red meat country of origin brand.\u201d he said.\nFurther, says Holgate, increased investment would create opportunities to identify and supply those niche markets where consumers were willing to pay a premium for ethical and sustainability-produced food.\n\u201cTo date, mainstream consumers have proven reluctant to pay noticeably more for products that meet higher sustainability standards, however, further investment in this area will place New Zealand in a strong position to capitalise on any change in mainstream consumers\u2019 behaviour should they start to become increasingly willing to pay for sustainability attributes,\u201d he says.\nA further strategic benefit of increased investment in ethical and sustainability aspects of red meat production was an improved perception of the sector among young people, he comments\n\u201cRetention and attraction of high quality workers into the red meat sector will be crucial for the long-term success of the industry and investments into ethical and sustainable practices will help ensure the industry is viewed by the younger generation as an appealing sector to be part of, both within and outside the farm gate.\u201d\nAdditionally, Holgate says, increased investment would place the industry in a stronger position to negotiate any future regulation.\n\u201cThe power to sufficiently influence future regulation flows directly from how much trust the public have in the sector to act in a way it considers to be acceptable. Investments made to secure this trust now will place the red meat industry in a much better position to influence the final shape of any future regulations ensuring they are not ineffective, over burdensome, or ultimately unnecessary,\u201d he said.\nHolgate says realising the potential benefits of investment would require open and transparent communication between regulators, industry and farmers.\n\u201cThe most efficient means to capitalise on the opportunity created by pending regulatory changes will be by ensuring there is as much alignment as possible between the needs of consumers, the needs of the local community, and the investments that are made by the sector,\u201d he said.\n\u201cTransparent communication will be required to ensure future production standards are both appropriately designed, and signalled sufficiently in advance, to inform any future investment decisions.\u201d\nBarber\u2019s Wire: Market development a major challenge for red meat sector",

This controller is an attack surface of interest. First, the ability to modify the block allocation and erasure algorithms introduces the opportunity to perform various MITM attacks in a virtually undetectable fashion. Second, the controller itself is typically powerful, with performance around 50MIPS, yet with a cost of mere pennies, making it an interesting and possibly useful development target for other non-storage related purposes. Finally, understanding the inner workings of the controller enables opportunities for data recovery in cards that are thought to have been erased, or have been partially damaged.\nThis talk demonstrates a method for reverse engineering and loading code into the microcontroller within a SD memory card.",

        "raw_content": "\u201cselective color photography of person holding orange gas smoke standing on snow\u201d by Hugo Jehanne on Unsplash\nHow I Finally Quit Smoking and How to Change Any Behavior\nI was at university and I had been smoking cigarettes for years. I was exercising most days and I had begun to notice that my level of fitness seemed to be capped by the smoking. My body and everything I owned smelled of cigarette smoke.\nI detested smoking but I didn\u2019t seem to be able to stop doing it. I began to notice that smoking was the number one thing I thought about. I was always planning when I would smoke my next cigarette and when I would smoke the one after that.\nI remember one time lighting a cigarette while thinking about when I would smoke the cigarette after the next one. Then I placed the cigarette that I had just lit into an ashtray only to find another cigarette already burning there. This shocked me. I was so completely engrossed in my addiction that I was paying almost no attention to what was happening in my surroundings.\nAt the time, I was smoking about forty cigarettes per day, that\u2019s two normal (large) packs, and the term \u201cchain smoker\u201d didn\u2019t quite capture the level of my addiction. I had become a parallel smoker.\nI had tried to quit many times and it had always been an enormous struggle. I had planned to cut down, to limit, and to gradually stop. It\u2019s been said that the withdrawal experience of a nicotine addict is more challenging than that of a heroin addict. I experienced all the well-known withdrawal symptoms, including physical discomfort, obsessive thinking, shaking, and irritability. In each instance, I finally tricked myself into caving-in and returning to smoking. Each time I failed to quit I felt a little more shame. I, the smoker, couldn\u2019t do it.\nOne day, I had had enough and I simply decided that I was not a smoker. Instead of trying to change, I simply decided that I was not someone who smoked. It was not that I was not a smoker anymore. I was simply not a smoker.\nWhenever a smoking-related thought would pass through my mind, I let it be there in its fullness and noticed that it had no relevance to me because I was not a smoker. Because any thoughts related to smoking found no identity to hook into, to give them energy and to sustain them, they quickly dissipated.\nI experienced absolutely no physical or mental withdrawal symptoms. I had no craving, no shaking, and no irritability. It has now been over two-and-a-half decades since I last smoked a cigarette and I have not once felt drawn to it.\nA few times, I have smelled cigarette smoke and thought, \u201cMmm, that smells like roast beef,\u201d but that thought also sometimes passes through my mind when I happen to get a whiff of my own farts. I would never consider intentionally breathing large amounts of smoke, or farts, into my lungs.\nThe trick to changing behavior is not to try to change the behavior. The trick is to be a person who behaves differently. The trick is to simply choose, wholeheartedly, to be a different person. Not to be a different person \u201cfrom this day forth,\u201d but to choose that you have always been a different person.\nI was never a smoker. It\u2019s truer to say that I was a non-smoker who smoked. It\u2019s very clear to me now. For example, even when I smoked cigarettes, I despised doing it. I don\u2019t know how I was able to put myself through that.\nThoughts and feelings occur and we stitch them into an identity, making sense of them in the context of who we think we are. Since the \u201cme\u201d is a blatant fabrication anyway, as long as there is a sense of a \u201cme\u201d it\u2019s possible for it to be anything.",

However, the target for the number of natural gas supply points in core ports is 2025.\nThe targets in a nutshell:\n2020 targets include:\n\u2013 5,000 electric vehicles\n\u2013 Electric car charging points to increase six-fold\n\u2013 20% of vehicles must be non-conventionally powered\n\u2013 50% of total vehicles must be non-conventionally powered\nStakeholders present said that the target for the 5,000 electric vehicles by 2020 is quite \u201cambitious\u201d, arguing that a number of obstacles do not entice people to purchase electric vehicles. Some of the reasons include the prices of electric vehicles, which are still on the high side when compared to other vehicles, the second-hand car market in Malta, whereby the majority of Maltese people tend to purchase second-hand cars from the UK, and running costs of electric vehicles, where buyers complain of high electricity tariffs when charging their car battery at home. Another issue is that it is not always feasible to have a car off the road for some six hours to have its battery charged, especially taxi drivers who own or would potentially own such vehicles.\nConsultation Session: Key Competences for Lifelong Learning\nConsultation Session: National Emissions Ceiling (NEC) Directive",

        "raw_content": "By mexicoretold August 5, 2015 A\u00f1o Dual 2015 Ballet Folklorico Ellie Cusack Folkloric Ballet Mexico Mexico UK Dual Year\nGuest blog by Ellie Cusack of Tea and Tacos\nIn a flash, the stage is bursting with almost forty Juans and Mar\u00edas whirling about at a hundred miles an hour, hankies in hand, dressed in dazzling costumes of orange and yellow like a bowl of zesty citrus fruit come suddenly to life. The first five minutes leave you simultaneously exhausted and invigorated, and that in itself lets you know it\u2019s going to be really really Mexican.\nAmalia Hern\u00e1ndez\u2019s Ballet Folkl\u00f3rico de M\u00e9xico visited the London Coliseum in July for the first time in over twenty years as a part of the programme of events for the Mexico-UK Dual Year 2015. Dance, music, parties and celebration form such an integral part of Mexican life, and have done since time immemorial, that it\u2019s just the perfect way to capture the essence of Mexico in one intoxicating showcase.\nThe dances are Mexican, of course; a varied programme of beautifully choreographed pieces that give us a political as well as historical and geographic tour of Mexico. It\u2019s important to appreciate the impressive amount of research, training and technical ability that goes into its production (the ballet has a permanent residency at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City as well as its internationally touring company). But the show from start to finish is just so much more: it encapsulates the vital elements of Mexican life, and, crucially, the feel of it. Essentially, it\u2019s a complete education in Mexican spirit delivered in full volume, at breakneck speed.\nOne of the things I love most about Mexican culture is how inclusive it is, nowhere more evident than at the regular family fiestas where guests both young and old are trussed up in ridiculous party paraphernalia dancing alongside one another from dusk until dawn. Mexicans just really get stuck in and throw themselves into things without the stuffy self-awareness and stiff upper lip that\u2019s so characteristic of the British. The Ballet Folkl\u00f3rico appeals to everyone, it\u2019s just impossible not to get swept up in the vivacious energy that radiates from the stage. They\u2019re having fun and they love what they do; it\u2019s evident and contagious.\nWith an abundance of sombreros and criminally tight trousers, and enough elaborate stomping to get Michael Flatley toe-tapping, the show is hugely entertaining, a visual and aural delight. The performance, like the culture, is totally immersive, not just literally (when the company dances with the audience in the aisles), but emotionally, too. It\u2019s cheeky and romantic, raucous and unapologetic. There are shouts of encouragement amongst compadres on the stage: \u201c\u00a1Eso!\u201d and \u201c\u00a1Viva M\u00e9xico!\u201d, and streamers are thrown bountifully into the auditorium. Just the same as you\u2019ll find when visiting Mexico, they don\u2019t just want you to enjoy it, they want to you to share it: it\u2019s an open invitation to empathise with their national pride \u2013 an honour indeed as it\u2019s hugely cherished and was notably hard-won.\nI can\u2019t talk about the Ballet Folkl\u00f3rico without giving the musicians \u2013 the mariachi and jarochos (who belt out the tunes as well as mastering their handheld instruments) \u2013 the praise they deserve. The show is not only a dancing triumph but a musical extravaganza. And I\u2019m pretty sure they\u2019re the only nation who could fit two full-blown fiestas into a couple of hours. It\u2019s no mean feat, and a thoroughly enjoyable one. When you\u2019ve got a British audience in one of the UK\u2019s most prestigious venues whooping and cheering on their feet, I think you can safely say you nailed it.\nYou\u2019ve now missed the opportunity for a slice of fiesta with your afternoon tea (hopefully they won\u2019t wait another twenty years), but, as if you needed an excuse to go to Mexico, the Ballet Folkl\u00f3rico is performed throughout the year at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City and tours internationally.\nYou can read more Mexican musings on Ellie\u2019s blog, Tea and Tacos.\n2 thoughts on \u201cGuest Blog: Why the Ballet Folkl\u00f3rico de M\u00e9xico Captures Mexico Perfectly\u201d\nPingback: Why the Ballet Folkl\u00f3rico de M\u00e9xico captures Mexico perfectly | Tea and Tacos\nMarcia Gage\nThank you Ellie for your blog. I agree with your remark about the dance performances being inclusive, not only regarding the performers, but also the audience. Does this group ever perform in Puerto Vallarta? My husband and I will be moving there in November.",

        "raw_content": "HERKIMER, NY \u2013 After an uncharacteristic third-place finish in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) championship last year, head coach P.J. Anadio was on a mission to create a team mentality at Herkimer College.\n\u201cWe recruit the person before we recruit the athlete. It\u2019s about fitting the mold; what we think is the best Herkimer athlete,\u201d Anadio said. \u201cI think the blend of different cultures has made us one of the tightest teams ever [this season]. That can bring you further than talent\u2026 we value each person for who they are as a teammate and as a human being.\u201d\nIt\u2019s that \u201cwe, not me\u201d mentality that has Anadio\u2019s Lady Generals sitting at 9-3 and near the top of the national rankings early on in the 2018 season. However, it wasn\u2019t always that way, especially after last season. The 2017 season was the first in five years that the Lady Generals weren\u2019t one of the teams in the national championship game. Several players, including sophomore pitcher/outfielder Alicia Swavely (daughter of former RFA head football coach Ted Swavely), cited a lack of team cohesiveness as a reason why the Generals only walked away from the national championships with only a third-place trophy to their names.\n\u201cThe energy was there [last year], but it was fake energy,\u201d Swavely said. \u201cLike my dad, Coach PJ is a similar leader. He teachers that how you play will affect how you win.\u201d\n\u201cI think [the loss] was upsetting because we didn\u2019t do the little things,\u201d sophomore catcher/outfielder Elizabeth Toscano said. \u201cWe talked about \u2018holding the rope\u2019 this season. The question they ask us is, if someone is falling off the edge, can you trust them to hold the rope and catch you? I don\u2019t think I could have said that last season, [but] I think I can count on everyone this year. Everyone is buying in, everyone is doing the little things.\u201d\nDespite all of that, the Lady Generals will look to build on a season that, by everyone else\u2019s standards, were through the roof. The team won all nine of their games at Wehrum Stadium last season, going 32-8 overall and producing two First-Team All Americans (both who are returning to Herkimer College this season), infielder Shannon Moore and pitcher Keeanna Wolcik.\nA big factor in that 32-8 record was the Lady Generals\u2019 performance at the plate. Herkimer was seventh in the nation in home runs, with ten, and hit an outstanding .425 average (which ballooned to an even more astounding .526 at home). In that .425 average hides not only an average of ten runs per game, but two games in which they racked up 30 runs, on both sides of a doubleheader against Clinton last April. (Those two games also helped raise over $6,000 for Hits For Hope, a charity that the Lady Generals created.) Though some of those bats are now gone, Anadio and his players both believe that they have the talent to pull that same feat again, though most don\u2019t believe that\u2019s the way they\u2019ll win in 2018.\n\u201cOur batting lineup is disgusting,\u201d sophomore catcher and Oneida native Morgan Sgarlata said. \u201cThe girls coming off the bench are crazy good. Every at-bat is a team at-bat. It\u2019s the team this season, not the individual.\u201d\n\u201cThe thing that defines our team this season is our depth and athleticism,\u201d Anadio said. \u201cWe can come at you so many ways\u2026our short game, our power game. We can smack it out of the park, we have a great softball IQ and we have execution too. We\u2019re always reloading, and I think we\u2019ve reloaded bigger and better. We can deliver some jabs, but we can deliver some haymakers and uppercuts too.\u201d\nDespite losing several players, Anadio can boast 11 freshmen to replace them, including all-state outfielder Taylor Zaino from West Canada Valley. Despite going from a superstar in Newport to one of those 11 freshnmen, Zaino has found the transition to be nothing but smooth.\n\u201cFrom the first time I met everybody, we just clicked,\u201d Zaino said. \u201cI was always confident coming here\u2026I knew a lot of these girls (six Herkimer players, including Zaino, are from the Mohawk Valley), and they helped me make the transition. They came from small schools too, so we\u2019re all in the same boat. It feels good to have everyone looking up at us and to be a part of something bigger.\u201d\n\u201cI think because of how we didn\u2019t mesh last season, we wanted to mesh with the freshmen as much as possible,\u201d sophomore infielder and Richfield Springs native Madisyn Butler said. \u201cWe wanted them to be comfortable and feel at home.\u201d\nDespite the new cohesiveness within the Lady Generals, they haven\u2019t really been able to prove it on the diamond. Since coming back from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, eight of Herkimer\u2019s first ten games have been canceled or postponed due to the wild weather in New York State, including this weekend\u2019s doubleheader with Corning Community College. However, while the weather keeps Herkimer inside, most of the Lady Generals would rather be on the diamond.\n\u201cWe try to find the silver lining\u2026we\u2019re getting more out of our inter-squad scrimmages,\u201d Anadio said. \u201cMy pitchers are seeing some of the best hitters in the nation, my hitters are seeing some of the best pitchers. We\u2019re champing at the bit to get out and play someone in a different-colored jersey. Right now, we\u2019re playing the hand we\u2019re dealt the best we can.\u201d\nOne person that has no problem with the compacted schedule is Zaino. Her West Canada Valley Indians dealt with the weather quite a bit during the 2017 season, forcing the sectional committee to allow everyone into the Section III playoffs. Luckily, the Indians were able to rise above it all, getting all the way to the New York State tournament. \u201cI\u2019m used to it,\u201d Zaino said. \u201cIn high school, we had to play so many games a week [due to the weather].\u201d\nNo matter what happens, Anadio is confident the 2018 version of the Lady Generals will be able to do the same thing and make a run towards yet another national championship. \u201cThe game is funny,\u201d Anadio said. \u201cThe best team doesn\u2019t win all the time. That\u2019s the reason I coach\u2026when we don\u2019t reach our goal, I\u2019m there to teach them that that\u2019s a part of life. When we fall, we fall forward. When you come to play softball at Herkimer, the goal is national championship or bust. We have a great group of young girls and I\u2019m most proud of the legacy they leave off the field.\u201d",

        "title": "HOW TO OVERCOME PROBLEMS IN MINISTRY (AND LIFE) | Ministry to Youth",
        "raw_content": "HOW TO OVERCOME PROBLEMS IN MINISTRY (AND LIFE)\nMinistry is full of problems, adversity, and obstacles.\nParents complain. The senior pastor doesn\u2019t support your vision. Your youth group isn\u2019t growing like you hoped.\nSometimes you might feel like the problem is eating you (like my daughter in the above pic).\nBack when I was in full-time ministry I remember facing adversity daily.\nAs I reflect on the last year and a half of my life, one of the primary themes that emerges is the idea of facing adversity.\nNot the kind of adversity that cracks a human being. Nothing tragic or traumatic. But stuff that has weighed me down.\nHere are some of the problems I faced:\nThe small youth group that I was leading fizzled out.\nI launched a travel blog that was a bust.\nI started a website for lead pastors, which I shut down after a few months.\nI experimented with trading Penny Stocks and lost hundreds of dollars.\nI helped a group of junior high students launch a business. After spending over $3,500 on app development, inventory, and packaging \u2013 we hit a huge wall and have to start all over from scratch. Which means the $3,500 is a total loss from a financial perspective.\nI had high hopes for each of these things, but none of them turned out the way that I thought.\nAnd I didn\u2019t even mention my personal life. There\u2019s always a lot of obstacles to face as a devoted husband (usually I\u2019m the one who creates the problems) and father of three teenagers (my youngest turns 13 next month\u2026 so let\u2019s just round up her age).\nBut isn\u2019t that the way life works? Why is it that we expect life to go as planned, when in reality it seldom does? Aren\u2019t problems, obstacles, and adversity a part of the human experience?\nAwhile back, I was feeling bummed out about all of these things.\nThen, I remembered a book I read back in 2014, \u201cThe Obstacle is the Way\u201d by Ryan Holiday.\nAt the time, reading that book was a pivotal point in overcoming a huge obstacle in my life. It helped me see how the obstacle I faced could actually lead to the solution.\nI embraced that mindset and was able to find the solution IN the obstacle.\nIn fact, my life was actually WAY better on the other side of that problem. Wow. Mind blowing.\nAs I began to re-read the book, I saw the situations I faced over the last year and a half with fresh eyes. I asked God to show me his perspective and speak to me.\nI started to journal some of my thoughts.\nThen, something really cool happened. A saying or a motto emerged. It was a way for me to put problems and adversity in their proper perspective.\nMy hope is that it will help you face the problems in your ministry and life.\nI EXPECT and EMBRACE problems, which I see as opportunities for GROWTH, and I am learning to ENJOY them.\nThis has become my personal motto. I\u2019ve memorized and internalized it.\nNow, before I break it down.\nThe exception to this truth is when dealing with tragedy, trauma or real human suffering. It\u2019s probably not healthy to EXPECT those situations, nor is it realistic to ENJOY a horrible life event while going through it.\nWhat I am talking about here are what I define as \u2018small to medium-sized problems in your life.\u2019\nYou\u2019ll pretty much always have some problems in your ministry and life. When one is solved, another emerges.\nThe sound board and computer stop working 30 minutes before the youth service. You manage to fix it, but that night you find out a small group volunteer quits after only 2 weeks.\nYour summer camp venue raises its price by $2,000. You figure out a way to reallocate the budget, only to find out 2 weeks later that your youth budget is cut in half.\nIf you expect problems to surface, then they won\u2019t blindside you.\nWhat I typically do instead is freak out when something bad goes wrong. It throws me off my game. For some reason, I expect everything to go as planned, but that rarely happens.\nInstead, hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.\nJust accept the reality that problems are a part of ministry. They\u2019re a part of life. In fact, they\u2019re a part of being human.\nEMBRACE PROBLEMS\nI\u2019m learning to embrace each problem that comes my way.\nWhat I usually do is ignore it. Then, it gets worse down the road.\nI ignore the tension between two volunteers for months, and then at missions camp it unravels leaving students caught in the crossfire.\nInstead of dealing with a parent who is upset with me, I look the other way. The situation gets worse, and they eventually threaten to leave the church.\nI put this one on video (it\u2019s only a few minutes). I talk about how I almost lost my eyesight because I ignored a problem. Watch it here:\nWe all have a choice in how we respond to problems. We can choose to ignore, complain, or deny it. Or we can tackle it head on.\nI\u2019m learning to address the problem right away and do something about it.\nNow there are times when we can\u2019t solve the problem. We have to accept the harsh reality of a situation.\nBut, we can choose how we respond to the problem, and that\u2019s where the next step comes into the picture.\nSEE PROBLEMS AS OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH\nPain is often necessary for growth. Not always, but most of the time (in my experience) this is true.\nAbout a year ago, I hired a personal trainer to help build upper body muscle. I workout with him two days a week, then one day a week on my own.\nI hate my workouts with him. He pushes me WAY beyond what I would do on my own, and it\u2019s grueling. I despise every second of it. I actually pay him to cause pain in my life. Kind of crazy if I think about it.\nBut I like the results. I\u2019m so happy with the physical and mental growth I\u2019ve experienced over the past year.\nPain was the path that led to the growth. Growth doesn\u2019t exist without pain.\nThe same is often true with adversity. It\u2019s the path that leads to growth if you allow God to shape and mold you through the process.\nFor example, dealing with conflict is uncomfortable but often necessary to build a deeper sense of intimacy and trust.\nAfter 15 years of marriage I\u2019ve had LOTS of opportunities to grow in this area. Through dealing with a lot of conflict over the years (mostly brought on due to my issues), I\u2019ve become a more present, patient, emotionally aware, and understanding person.\nAs church leaders, we know this. We teach it. But we forget to live it.\nLEARN TO ENJOY PROBLEMS IN THE MOMENT\nOk, stay with me on this.\nIt\u2019s something I\u2019ve been experimenting with.\nI started journaling about my problems, writing down:\nThe emotions I experience\u2026\nMy reaction and approach to problems\u2026\nThe potential growth or opportunity that resulted\u2026\nMy thought is\u2026 if most problems result in some kind of growth, then is it possible to enjoy them in the moment?\nA few months ago, I journaled about a problem I experienced with my kids not doing the dishes.\nEmma\u2019s job is to put away the clean dishes. Ethan puts the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and Joey cleans the pots and pans.\nBut the system has been fundamentally flawed for a long time. I would ask them to do their job. They whine, complain, or give me an attitude about the request. Then, they take as long as possible to do their chore. I get angry, deny that I\u2019m angry, and stuff it down. Every few weeks I explode in anger and let them have it.\nI was done ignoring this problem. They\u2019re old enough to do their chores without me telling them to do it. So, I implemented a new rule. I gave them each a time to do their chore each day. If they didn\u2019t do it by then, they lost their phones for a day.\nI explained the rule. They agreed to the consequence, but kind of brushed me off.\nWithin a few days all three of them didn\u2019t do their job on time. I followed through on the consequence. They ALL complained and thought the new rule was unfair. One of my kids even call me \u201ca jerk,\u201d which didn\u2019t end up too well for him. There was a lot of conflict overall, but I stuck to my guns.\nWithin a week everyone was doing their chore on time without me telling them to do it. It was a huge win for me as a parent!\nHere\u2019s the interesting part\u2026\nI was actually enjoying the process. Yep\u2026 all the yelling, crying, and complaining was actually enjoyable. I know, that probably sounds cruel. But the entire time I kept thinking that all this conflict, which I usually hate and avoid at all costs, will lead to something good. I was hoping it would bring peace of mind, with all my kids doing their job without me telling them.\nBecause I kept that goal at the forefront in my mind, I was able to enjoy the experience.\nSo, yes, I do think enjoying problems in the moment IS possible (but maybe just some of the time).\nAs I continued to journal about my problems I realized that many problems just suck. They\u2019re not fun to go through\u2026 even if there is some kind of growth you experience as a result.\nBut sometimes, with the right attitude, you can learn to enjoy the problem.\nThat\u2019s my new approach to life\u2019s problems\u2026 try to enjoy them in the moment.\nSometimes it works. Sometimes not. But it\u2019s worth a shot.\nA little side note about the dishes situation. That happened a few months ago, and since then the new rule I established fizzled out. I\u2019m back to telling the kids to do the dishes now. But, they do their job right away with a good attitude. Although that is a big improvement, I might need to take my own advice, address the problem, and re-establish the rule.\nI recently re-connected with a former mentor of mine. He shared a quote that stuck with me:\n\u201cEverything works better when we know how to GAZE AT GOD and GLANCE AT LIFE.\u201d\nI just Googled that quote, and it\u2019s attributed to various people. So, who knows the origin.\nI think that\u2019s a great way to look at problems, don\u2019t you?\nThat helps me put problems in perspective. God is bigger than any adversity or obstacle we face. The goal is to focus more on HIM.\nYes, life will throw you a lot of curve balls. We should expect and embrace them, looking at them as opportunities for growth. And even try to enjoy them as much as possible.\nBut in the end\u2026 God is bigger than all of it.\nWe need to keep our eyes focused on Him!\nNick Diliberto July 25, 2018 August 1, 2018 Thoughts About Life 7 Comments\n\u2190 YOUTH GROUP LESSON ON FORGIVENESS\nYOUTH GROUP LESSON ON GOING DEEPER \u2192\n7 thoughts on \u201cHOW TO OVERCOME PROBLEMS IN MINISTRY (AND LIFE)\u201d\nRuth Vetrone\nA great timely word.

        "title": "Why the iPad is Significant - \uf4f1 Mobile Meandering",
        "raw_content": "Why the iPad is Significant\nThe reason Apple has been so successful with their devices is because their products solve problems. The iPod (coupled with iTunes) solved the problem of music distribution and portability. While the iPhone solved the problem of mobile Internet access and smartphone usability. Just like its close cousins, the iPad solves several longstanding problems with data portability and usability.\nA Computer for Everyone\nWhile many will see the iPad as a consumer electronic gadget, at its core it\u2019s a computer. It just doesn\u2019t look like a computer. The iPad is what Microsoft Bob dreamed of being. It\u2019s a computer that\u2019s easy enough for a child, but also has all of the functionality that people expect from a computer.\nThe functions you can do on the iPad include, but are not limited to, e-mail, Web browsing, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, media playback and manipulation (including music, videos, and images), and calendar and contact management. And as developers start to write software for it, it will soon do everything a desktop computer or notebook computer can do.\nThe significance of the iPad is not that it mimics a computer, it\u2019s in the fact that it doesn\u2019t mimic a computer, at all. The software and user interface have been designed in a way that anyone can start using it without any training whatsoever. It\u2019s also a computer that no longer requires technical support. The device either works or it doesn\u2019t. There\u2019s no longer the need for certified computer technicians or company IT staff, because the iPad simply works.\nIntuitive and Natural Interaction\nThe keyboard and mouse are being replaced right before our eyes. The iPad still has a virtual keyboard, and an optional physical keyboard with dock, but the main user interface is controlled through hand gestures.\nThe user interface is designed to do what you would expect it to do. Beyond the most simple functions, like button pushing, the iPad user interface allows you to swipe, pinch, and rotate objects. If there are a stack of images, and you want to get a quick sample without selecting all of them, you touch the stack and slightly expand your fingers. If you want to put away or close an object, you pinch. If you want to turn a page, you swipe.\nWhat are gone are invisible keyboard commands to remember, and being at the mercy of a mouse. Instead of using and moving an external device to manipulate objects, your hand becomes the device. There is no more device (mouse) middleman, just the natural gestures of your fingers against the objects on the screen.\nLifestyle Portability\nTraditional computers\u2014desktops and notebooks\u2014may be able to access and view libraries of data, but there isn\u2019t an easy way to share that data conveniently and naturally. For example, if you\u2019ve been reading an interesting blog entry or article, and you want to share it with a family member, you have to coax them into either coming to your desktop, or get them to hold your large seventeen inch clamshell notebook computer. Neither is ideal. With the iPad, you can easily hand the device to them, and they can hold and read it just like they would a regular book or magazine.\nThe same is true for traveling. Holding and using an iPad in a car, at an airport or anywhere else will provide the best experience for consuming media. With the long battery life, form factor, and light weight, it can easily replace traditional books, magazines, and newspapers. While at the same time, providing the same rich multimedia experience traditionally experienced on a computer.\nWhy the iPad is Significant by Jon Henshaw is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.

        "raw_content": "\u201cJIRAMA: until when?\u201d \u201cJIRAMA: it\u2019s been 2 hours!\u201d \u201cJIRAMA: you\u2019re destroying our equipment!\u201d It is 11 a.m. Numerous complaints against the national water and electricity company, JIRAMA, are posted on social media by Internet users. The electricity supply has been cut in several neighborhoods in Antananarivo. Cue the familiar sounds of power generators in offices and a number of stores. The scene is nothing new. Over the past decade, JIRAMA\u2019s customers, both household and industrial alike, have experienced repeated power outages.\nA Crucial Resource for Economic and Social Development\nIn Madagascar, only 15% of the population has access to electricity. In 2017, the country had just 570 MW of mainly thermal (60%) and hydroelectric (40%) installed production capacity. Furthermore, only 60% of this energy is truly available owing to poor maintenance of power plants. Apart from the fact that these challenges in the energy sector undermine the quality of citizens\u2019 daily lives, they also represent one of the major obstacles to the country\u2019s development and to private sector expansion. In the World Bank Group\u2019s Doing Business 2018 report that assesses the business climate, Madagascar ranks 184 out of 190 countries for access to electricity.\nKeenly aware of this challenge, in 2014, the Government of Madagascar decided to embark on intensive reforms to transform the sector. In March 2016, the country was granted $65 million in financial support from the World Bank through the Electricity Sector Operations and Governance Improvement Project (ESOGIP) and in June 2018, $40 million in additional financing. The objective: increase production capacity and reduce energy loss, while helping the Government improve governance of the sector and JIRAMA\u2019s operational performance. The ESOGIP also aims to expedite progress on renewable energies in order to provide a reliable, more affordable alternative to expensive and environmentally unfriendly diesel generators.\nBetting on Solar Energy\nWith all regions of Madagascar enjoying over 2,800 hours of sunlight per year, the Grande \u00cele is the perfect location for development of solar power, with a potential capacity of 2,000 kWh/m\u00b2/year. The Government is counting on this potential to fulfill its objective of providing energy access to 70% of Malagasy households by 2030.\n\u201cOur energy policy for 2015-2030 addresses several pressing economic, social, and environmental challenges. It supports the transition to the energy mix for electricity and lighting, which will include 80% of renewable resources. To achieve our goal of providing electricity to 70% of the population, we will have to produce 7,900 GWh by 2030, as opposed to the 1,500 GWh currently produced,\u201d explains Lantoniaina Rasoloelison, Minister of Energy and Hydrocarbons.\nAn ambitious project, particularly if it is entirely dependent on public financing.\nAn Innovative Financing Mechanism to Support the State\nTo supplement public funds in order to finance large-scale construction of solar plants by promoting private investment, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector arm of the World Bank Group, is helping the Government set up a public-private partnership (PPP).\nThrough the Scaling Solar initiative, in March 2016, IFC signed an agreement with the Malagasy Government to construct a plant of approximately 25 MW, connected to the Antananarivo network, through a transparent international competitive bidding process.\nMadagascar is currently the fifth country in Africa in which a Scaling Solar tender process was launched, after two tender processes in Zambia, one in Senegal, and another in Ethiopia. It is also the first Scaling Solar project to include solar energy storage requirements by pairing solar with batteries.\nThe process began with feasibility studies conducted by IFC experts to determine the solar capacity that could be added to the existing network and to select a suitable location.\nIn October 2017, the Government of Madagascar invited private investors to participate in a prequalification process, based on strict eligibility criteria, to select potential candidates with the necessary experience, expertise, and financial resources to complete the project as expeditiously as possible.\nExpertise of the Various World Bank Group Institutions\nOver 100 companies from 28 countries expressed their interest. In February 2018, six companies and groups were selected to participate in the tender process and will be able to make use of the feasibility studies provided by IFC to prepare their technical bids and identify financial partners. This last step will also be facilitated by the investment guarantees and credit enhancement tools provided by the World Bank and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), which offers a number of protections, particularly against non-commercial risks (political, expropriation disputes, etc.).\n\u201cScaling Solar Madagascar aims to propose an integrated solution that includes financing and the implementation of technical solutions in which the operating company chosen will benefit from coverage against political and financial risks, offered by the World Bank,\u201d explains Satyam Ramnauth, IFC Country Manager for Madagascar. \u201cThis project will also set the operating standards that will serve as a reference for legitimate operators, as well as for the Government with respect to the implementation of its energy policy.\u201d\nRelated Topics:AfricaEconomicsMadagascarRenewable EnergyWorld Bank\nEgypt Could Meet More than 50% of its Electricity Demand with Renewable Energy",

        "raw_content": "Author Spotlight no.107 \u2013 Chester D Campbell\nComplementing my daily blog interviews, today\u2019s Author Spotlight, the one hundred and seventh, is of mystery thriller novelist Chester D Campbell.\nMystery and thriller author Chester D. Campbell has been writing professionally in one form or another for sixty-five years. He got his start as a newspaper reporter in 1947 while still in journalism school. He worked for two different dailies sandwiched around a stint as an Air Force intelligence officer in the Korean War, where he picked up lots of ideas for future use. After that he freelanced magazine non-fiction, wrote speeches for a governor, edited a local (Nashville) magazine, worked in advertising and public relations, and wound up his business career as manager of a statewide trade association, which included editing its magazine.\nOn retirement in 1989, he began a new career as a novelist. The eighth manuscript he wrote became his first published novel. He has five published books in the Greg McKenzie Mystery series and two in the Sid Chance Mystery series. His newest novel is Beware the Jabberwock, the first of a Cold War thriller trilogy available as an ebook.\nAnd now for the author himself.\nI grew up in the thirties and early forties, when the field of aviation was just reaching its stride. All I ever wanted to do was fly airplanes. I had no thought of writing as a career until shortly before the end of World War II when I was an Aviation Cadet at Randolph Field in San Antonio, Texas. I hadn\u2019t reached the flight training phase and, with the war winding down, they had no more need for us. A fellow cadet who had spent a year at Yale told me if he had it to do over, he would study journalism. Somehow that resonated with me. It also proved my mother right. She always said if I was going to do anything, it would have to be with my head since I didn\u2019t like to get my hands dirty.\nAfter my discharge in November 1945, I enrolled at the University of Tennessee, where I studied journalism and got my first job with The Knoxville Journal. During that initial year as a cub reporter, I read two books by Horace McCoy that inspired me to try my hand at mystery writing. It was, of course, the story of a reporter helping solve a murder. I sent it to a Philadelphia publisher and got a letter from the editor saying he was sorry but they couldn\u2019t handle any more manuscripts at present.\nI\u2019ve received many more rejections since then, but that one threw a kink in my novel writing plans that lasted about twenty years. I tried a Cold War spy story in the sixties that stayed with a New York editor for six months before he gave up trying to sell it to \u201cthe committee\u201d. After that I became too entangled in other phases of career development to do much more than think about novel writing until I retired in mid-1989.\nAlthough I hadn\u2019t written any fiction in years, I had been an avid reader of spy stories by the likes of John le Carre, Graham Greene, Len Deighton, Ken Follett, and Robert Ludlum. When I sat down to write novels full-time, the Cold War was ending. I started with a trilogy of Post-Cold War spy plots featuring Burke Hill, a former FBI agent out to prove he did not deserve J. Edgar Hoover\u2019s dismissal as a failure. I had different New York agents for each manuscript who accomplished nothing for me. Spy stories were going out of style. The books remained as stacks of printouts on my office floor or languished in computer files.\nAfter twenty years, I decided the stories were too good to remain covered with dust. I began to revise them and get new edits. At my age, I\u2019m not inclined to follow the time-consuming process of querying agents and undergoing agonizing delays in the publishing process. I got a great cover done by a young designer who specializes in this area and, with the cooperation of my current small press publisher, now have Beware the Jabberwock available in the Kindle Store. It\u2019s a tale of dissident factions of the CIA and KGB plotting to maintain their grip on power by bringing down the heads of the U.S. and Russian governments. Recruited by an old CIA buddy, Burke Hill finds himself the only hope of foiling the plot. It was a fun story to write and got me started on new career that is still going strong.\nBottom line, you\u2019re never too old to start.\nAbsolutely! Barbara Cartland was writing prolifically in her 90s. \ud83d\ude42 You can find more about Chester and his writing via\u2026\nWebsite: http://www.chesterdcampbell.com, Blogs: http://chestercampbell.blogspot.com and http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com, Amazon, Smashwords, Facebook and Twitter.\nThe blog interviews will return as normal tomorrow with multi-genre author Roger Hurn \u2013 the four hundred and forty-ninth of my blog interviews with novelists, poets, short story authors, biographers, agents, publishers and more.

I believe you\u2019re right that no one\u2019s too old to write. The older you are, the more you have to share!\nChester Campbell says:\nThanks, Morgen. I guess I\u2019m a storehouse of trivia.\nI enjoyed reading Chester Campbell\u2019s back story, and it is great to discover an individual that refused to surrender to the pitfalls of the traditional publishing industry where many authors have fallen between the corporate cracks.\nDue to the Internet, the rejected author within us all now has the opportunity to bypass agents and traditional publishers and go straight to readers letting them decide.\nIs there anything more democratic than that?\nJ. R. Lindermuth says:\nYou\u2019re an inspiration to us all, Chester. Congratulations and best wishes for success on tackling another genre.\nRick Friedman says:\nSuperb Chester!!",

        "title": "Mark\u2019s #43 \u2013 Matterhorn: A Novel of The Vietnam War by Karl Marlantes \u2013 My 52 Books",
        "raw_content": "Mark\u2019s #43 \u2013 Matterhorn: A Novel of The Vietnam War by Karl Marlantes\nAs a missionary to the military community, I try to read a few military related books each year. When I saw this highly recommended book on Amazon, I realized that my depth of knowledge regarding the Vietnam War was very shallow and that this book could help broaden my understanding in regards to one of Americas less than fondly remembered forays into war (not unlike our current campaign in Afghanistan).\nAs a highly decorated Marine officer and veteran of the Vietnam War, Karl Marlantes does an excellent job of immersing the reader, almost immediately, in the deep tropical jungle of Vietnam. Along the way, the story mostly follows the young Lieutenant Waino Mellas and the men of Bravo Company. As a \u2018boot\u2019 Lieutenant, he faces the horrors of war for the first time.\nThrough Mellas\u2019 eyes, one gets a sense of both the shear terror of leading a patrol in the jungle which could at any moment explode with NVA fire, land mines, or grenades. Beyond the heart pumping adrenaline of combat, there is an almost overwhelming monotony of jungle related ailments such as swarms of mesquites, blood-sucking leaches, and constant jungle rot.\nIn addition to helping me understand what it would be like to be in Vietnam during the war, the author also makes it clear of what he thought of the asinine political maneuvers during the war \u2013 both by Congress as well as those of the upper ranking military members trying to make a name for themselves and continue their climb up the ladder of rank and position. While I have certainly heard and seen military commanders make baffling and blatantly stupid decisions, I felt that the author tried too hard to make all senior officers look like self-serving buffoons (other reviewers with stated Vietnam war experience seem to agree with this assessment).\nAnother point which seemed a little far fetched was that of the tension in race relations amongst the troops of the time. Certainly the Black Panther movement was growing back in the states, but Marlantes makes it seem like a central point of concern for the men in the field during this time. Perhaps it was, I don\u2019t know.\nThe book does seem to take a liberal slant on the war as a whole. It also paints the NVA soldiers as utter professionals with a personal stake in winning the war because it was \u2018their land\u2019\u2026 It wasn\u2019t their land, they were trying to sweep down south with their communist ideology.\nOverall, this book is a sobering look into the lives, emotions, triumphs, and tragedies of a dark, difficult, and frustrating war. I think that, for the most part, the characters are well developed and the scenes are masterfully described. This is a good novel for an introduction to what it might have been like for the men on the ground in Vietnam. Be warned, however, the imagery and language of this book can be very graphic at times.\nMark Oshman",

        "title": "So Men On TV Are Dumb. So What? \u2013 The Tater Blog",
        "raw_content": "Amateur Philosophy, Marriage and Parenting, Masculinity\nI\u2019ve heard that there are two typical methods of dealing with problems in our society. Take racism for example. In a group of people plagued with such a problem, Method 1 is to change the individual man himself. Through proper parenting and education, let each person know how racism hurts us as a nation, and how to properly combat it in their own lives. They may take years, even generations, but the result will last for a long time. Method 2 is significantly different. This method deems the first to be too slow, and seeks to change society by making undesirable behavior illegal. Laws against hate speech are an example of this, where a group of people didn\u2019t want to take years or generations to end racist behavior, so they simply made it against the law. Instead of changing the individual, they change society.Method 1 relies mainly on the use of the family and small \u201ctribes\u201d of people to simply make better human beings within their groups. Method 2 relies on legal force and media portrayals to change a whole nation.\nI completely disagree with Method 2, because instead of fixing a problem, it merely tells us to just look at it differently. When a people group feels slighted, they tend to use this methodology when they cry out about how they are portrayed in the media.\n\u201cHave you seen the way such and such a TV show portrays my gender/race/ethnicity/sexual orientation?! We need different, more positive portrayal in today\u2019s media so that everyone will look at us different!\u201d\nThe specific example I have in mind is the media\u2019s portrayal of fathers, and the typical (in my experience) male reaction to it.\nI recently read an article written by a mother that speaks about some of the dumb phrases we as a society need to quit saying to dads. It was creatively titled, \u201cDumb-Ass Stuff We Need To Stop Saying To Dads.\u201d The writer argues that we (American society as a whole) need to quit looking at fathers as an \u201cinept accessory to parenting.\u201d While I agree with her assumption that fathers are a vital and equally necessary part of the parenting team, why are we attempting to change the way society views us? Why not, instead, attempt to become better fathers and men, and let the first problem fix itself?\nTalk about an obvious statement. \u201cReally Nate? Your point is that men should be better fathers?!\u201d\nLet me expound.\nThe \u201cchange the way society views dads\u201d method lowers the bar, in my opinion. I hear so many men (including myself) who spend significant amounts of time complaining about the typical sitcom dad, who is a stupid mouth-breathing sports fanatic with nothing to offer his wife and children besides comic relief. We complain about how we are viewed, yet how many of us take the time to actually become something more than that?\nWe can rant and rave all we want to make society respect us. We can demand that our wives read Love And Respect, scream for better portrayals of men in entertainment, and complain about this generation of disrespectful children all we want.\nIn the end, if we\u2019re not getting respect as husbands and fathers, it\u2019s not because of an unfair stereotype. It\u2019s because we didn\u2019t individually do anything to earn it.\nIf I as a man would take more time to properly provide for my family\u2019s needs and protect it from negative influences, they would see the efforts of a good man and respect them. I don\u2019t want or need society\u2019s acceptance, or their changing views on fatherhood. If I have earned the respect and love of my family, I can use the remote to silence the rest.\nAllow me to give an example.\nI have a good friend who is a pastor at a local church. He has five (!) daughters with his wife. Last year, he decided to give his wife a break for a week so that she could travel with her friends to Florida while he took time off of work to spend with their girls.\nAs he recounted the experience to me, he was exasperated with the amount of people who gave him pity and/or sympathy for his \u201cplight.\u201d\n\u201cHow are you holding up?\u201d seemed to be the typical comment he would receive.\nHere\u2019s what he did. He took that situation, and freaking crushed it.\nHe planned activities with his kids. He reveled in the good times he had with them. He cooked for them, got them dressed, and watched their movies. He did it all without help, and blew everyones\u2019 minds.\nI\u2019m not saying that every father out there should become Mr. Mom. Masculinity isn\u2019t found in performing a mother\u2019s role. My friend only did that for a week, then went back to his traditional role of provider and protector of the household.\nI am saying that he never needs to complain about the way society portrays men to his family, because he has proven himself as a capable parent, and done it on more than one occasion.\nWe\u2019re trying to \u201cmove the goalposts\u201d of good fatherhood. It would be much easier to have TV shows change the way my children think of me than it would be to spend individual time with them each day, help them with their schoolwork, show them the importance of physical fitness, teach them how to hunt, or be an example of a praying father.\nI\u2019m not there yet, but I would rather actually be the man I want portrayed in the media, than have them change everyones\u2019 minds for me. I\u2019m going to have to quit complaining, and just be a man.\nAdditional thoughts from my friends on this subject:\n\u201cIf a man wants something, he builds it, earns it, becomes it, takes it, asks for it, or does without. He doesn\u2019t go to the government or media to do the work for him.\u201d\n\u201cIf you want to make the world better, make your world better. Be a father and mentor to your kids. Be a mother, a good friend, a hard-working employee, a respectful person, and be the kind of change you want to see. I do believe men live down to the stereotype because it\u2019s easy and expected. I think plenty of women bash, belittle, and emasculate their men, set the bar low then bitch when they hit that standard. We have almost deified motherhood while chipping away at the importance of fatherhood. Motherhood isn\u2019t the most important or the hardest job\u2026parenting is. Fathers and mothers should be complimentary. The roles are different but certainly equally important. Taking the focus off the family and placing it on one parent or the other is misguided.\u201d\nPrevious Post A Nerd Too Far\nNext Post Throat Punched By Satan\nVery well said. Thank you!",

        "raw_content": "fashion, style\tby naturallykam June 5, 2018\nI heard the news of Kate Spade\u2019s passing, as I\u2019m sure most of the fashion world has by now. As a result, I\u2019ve been very reflective for most of today about how the brand (and the woman behind it) have really impacted and inspired me. I started seeing Kate Spade bags floating around on girls\u2019 arms in high school. Going to an all-girls Catholic school and wearing a uniform, we had to find creative ways to express ourselves. As a teenager at the time, I remember seeing Kate Spade as a status symbol, like wearing Ugg boots or hair extensions, and instantly thought of it as something to achieve solely based on that. However, as I grew older, went off to college and started working, I realized that Kate Spade is so much more than just adorable handbags and wallets.\nI love how Kate Spade herself was truly invested in her brand, her own personal style reflecting the message she has conveyed for decades: fashion can be versatile and practical while maintaining a level of class and elegance. Her clean lines and bright colors, along with the perfect mix of fashion, function and affordability have all laid the groundwork for the essence of my style aesthetic. I\u2019ve admired and absolutely adored the brand\u2019s iconic style, all thanks to Kate Spade\u2019s entrepreneurship and leadership. Though she sold her company in 2007, her aesthetic has always been #goals, and always will be. Thank you, Kate Spade, for helping to shape me into the fashionista I am today. Rest in power.\nfashioniconkate spadelifestylestyle",

        "raw_content": "12 Apr A Parent\u2019s Guide to Recovery\nPosted at 07:00h in Family by Jeff 0 Comments\nAddiction is insidious. It likes to hide. It doesn\u2019t want to be seen. If it\u2019s called out into the light it is much more difficult for it to exist. If someone says, \u201cI see you\u201d then it has been acknowledged and can no longer be unseen. But then what do you do??\nOnce you see addiction you can no longer un-see it as much as you might like to go on denying and hoping it wasn\u2019t there or possibly not that bad. Don\u2019t be fooled. Know where and when to get help. Don\u2019t go it alone. You will want to isolate and circle the wagons and try to keep it hush, hush. This is natural. We want to protect our kids. We don\u2019t want them to get a bad reputation or be judged or have them carry the consequences of adolescent mistakes with them into adulthood. We can handle this in-house, you say.\nWhen I first realized my son was using heroin the sheer panic that I felt was something I had never felt before. Something akin to the first time your child gets lost in the department store and is gone just long enough to make you believe he is gone forever but much worse because they are lost right in front of you, within arms-reach.\nThe instinct to do everything possible to save your kid from becoming the junkie in the gutter is absolutely the most caring, loving thing you can do. Until it isn\u2019t. Of course, you are going to do everything you can to save your kid. Until you\u2019ve already done everything. Then what?\nI\u2019ll give you some examples of what I did to try to help my son with his drug abuse.\nFirst, I scoured the internet for everything I could find out about heroin use and/or every other drug, that I didn\u2019t want to know about in the first place. Oh yeah, my kid drank a little or maybe it was a lot \u2026 but wasn\u2019t that normal experimenting for a teenager? So I thought at the time.\nSecond, (still on the internet) I searched what are the\u2026 signs to look for, ways to treat, treatment centers, how to help them detox, books to read on addiction, natural remedies, doctors and everything else that I thought I must find out about now in order to save my son.\nThen I asked him all the questions\u2026 How did this happen? What are we going to do now? Who did this to you? Where did you get it? When did this start? WHY?\nThen the feelings of anger and sadness, guilt and disbelief and fear welled up in me. My fear was overwhelming. The fear made me crazy. The fear kept me up all night, waiting for him to text me that he was ok so I could go to bed. I\u2019d go through his room, his backpack, his coat pockets, his car. I\u2019d lend him money when I knew I shouldn\u2019t have. I\u2019d call him out sick from work. I\u2019d bail him out of jail. I thought I was doing the right thing at the time.\nThings got worse. He got in a car accident. He stole money and medication out of my purse. (Which I suspected, but ignored because I didn\u2019t want to confront him.) Then he stole from his little brother and pawned his Christmas gifts and his PlayStation. Not to mention, the first rehab and then the second (because 30 days is not enough time for anyone to get well) but that\u2019s where we all start.\nThen they might relapse (this can be part of recovery) or overdose and if they survive you think they\u2019re so lucky and now they will stop for sure and agree to go back to rehab. Go back to the AA meetings. Get a sponsor. Pray. Not sell their suboxone on the street.\nHad enough? Are you totally exhausted at your wits end? Are you done saving your kid yet? Of course, you\u2019re exhausted but you\u2019re NOT done saving your kid yet!! Good! Right? Well, sort of.\nYou may have heard the term enabling and possibly the term co-dependency. Has anyone suggested you go to an Al- Anon or Nar-Anon meeting?\nI had heard of these but wasn\u2019t convinced I needed them at first since because who had the time?! I\u2019m dealing with my addicted kid and driving him around going to outpatient programs, and therapists and doctors and lawyers appointments and AA meetings and when I\u2019m not doing that then I\u2019m watching him like a hawk to make sure he doesn\u2019t OD in the bathroom.\nWe\u2019ve all heard about letting someone hit their bottom. But how do you do that as a mother as a parent when it\u2019s your job to protect your kids and keep them safe? How do you stand by and let your kid fall? Especially when falling could mean ultimately death. You\u2019re the one holding it all together for them, you\u2019re the one doing damage control while trying not to lose complete control over your kid, yourself, your marriage, your finances, your job. At least that\u2019s what you think initially until you actually go to an Al-Anon meeting, or a Nar-Anon or a Family Anonymous meeting.\nThen you think\u2026. who are all these people? Why aren\u2019t they DOING anything?? Why aren\u2019t we talking about how to get my kid back into rehab again? Why aren\u2019t they telling me what I should do to make him stop using? This isn\u2019t help.\nBut you hang in there cause there was this one story and even though you didn\u2019t share your story this time you finally don\u2019t feel quite so alone. So, you go back. And then you find out it\u2019s about you\u2026really? Am I the problem? I thought the drugs were the problem, my kid\u2019s friends were the problem, the cell phone was the problem. Have you smashed one of those yet? I did.\nOk, maybe I\u2019m part of the problem. Maybe I have a problem, or maybe I don\u2019t. I don\u2019t know yet. But maybe if I stick with this and say this serenity prayer I can be part of the solution. Maybe I can incorporate some of these steps and change a few of my own behaviors.\nStep One: I needed to admit I was powerless over the addict- that our lives had become unmanageable.\nOk, yes. I definitely agreed with that one. Our life had become unmanageable and nothing I did seemed to work so far, and it possibly made things worse. Maybe I\u2019ll follow some of these Do\u2019s and Don\u2019ts as while I am at it:\nDo always encourage attempts to seek help\nDo remember the good in others and yourself\nDo allow other people to accept their own responsibilities\nDon\u2019t forget addiction is an illness, not a moral issue\nDon\u2019t overprotect, cover up or rescue from the consequences\nDon\u2019t underestimate the importance of release with love\nDon\u2019t underestimate the importance of release with love.\nRelease with love? Hmm.. my kid can still be in active addiction and I can still love him. Maybe I can\u2019t help him, but I can still love him. Maybe I can only help myself and pray and encourage him to seek help, and let him know I\u2019ll be there to support him when he asks for real help. Maybe I can already have that help lined up for him when he asks for it. Now, how do I hold on until he asks for it?\nHow do you hold on until their ready? Go to Al-Anon. Or any of the support groups. Go now. Undoubtedly there is a meeting going on right now or in an hour, or tonight close to where you live. Go on your lunch break. Get up and go. It\u2019s the best thing you can do for yourself and your kid.\nYou can\u2019t unsee addiction. It\u2019s insidious. Don\u2019t ignore it or try to fight it alone. Get help and support for yourself and your family. Also, I would recommend two books that helped me understand my son\u2019s struggle and what I could actually do to help. No More Letting Go by Debra Jay and Love First A Family\u2019s Guide to Intervention by Jeff & Debra Jay.\nMy son Adam through many tries at sobriety became successful at a wonderful wilderness program and now New Life House and has remained sober for 21 months. He has worked incredibly hard and has had enormous amounts of help, structure and caring instruction on how to live his new sober life for which I am so grateful.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Art / Tales From the Crypt: A Look Back\nTales From the Crypt: A Look Back\nOh my gory glory goodness\nOh my gory glory goodness\u2026 it\u2019s that time of year again, isn\u2019t it? October. While Halloween takes on a more passive role for most adults, becoming an excuse to dress up in a funny costume and drink at a party, for others it becomes an excuse to dig out the DVDs, VHS tapes, and anything else we\u2019ve got and explore the world of monsters and mayhem for a while. There\u2019s tons of films worth mentioning: the Universal monster films, plenty of 80s VHS trash, the majestic slasher movies of the 70s and 80s\u2026 then there\u2019s television. We had the cerebral but ultimately tame Twilight Zone, the regal and dignified show hosted by Mr. Hitchcock, and even some funnier ones like The Munsters.\nThen there\u2019s a little series that came on HBO in 1989 and opened it all up into a bloody mess\u2026 Tales from the Crypt.\nThe original brain-seed for the series was one of a set of comic book series from the 1950s; Tales from the Crypt ran 27 bi-monthly issues from 1950 to 1955 that broke rules even back then. In fact, Bill Gaines (The publisher, who ran EC Comics, the imprint under which the horror comics were produced) was among those called to testify in the highly-publicized 1954 Senate Subcommittee hearings that resulted in the Comics Code Authority we know today. While gone, the comic was far from forgotten, and had a lasting influence on a generation of future storytellers. Publisher Russ Cochran has overseen several reprints of the original EC line, and EC itself eventually doubled down on another title in its repertoire\u2026 MAD Magazine.\nThis is the issue where Crime Patrol went completely out the window and starting being about werewolves and shit. History, needless to say, was made.\nIt\u2019s worth noting that, in 1972, Amicus Films produced a Tales from the Crypt movie. While it isn\u2019t incredible, it\u2019s still pretty good, and stars Peter Cushing, Joan Crawford, and has Ralph Richardson as the Crypt Keeper. The film was a modest success; it spawned a sequel (named after another EC horror title, Vault of Horror) in 1973. For a good while afterward, the crypt was quiet. The dead slept.\nCushing as the undead Mr. Grimsdyke, Richardson as the Crypt Keeper, and the typically cheesy 70s-style titles of the 1972 film.\nThen suddenly, in mid-1989, commercials began to air on pay-cable channel HBO\u2026\nI still remember these commercials chilling my young blood. My first sight of the undead host had me both horrified and fascinated\u2026 I could barely stand to look into his perfect blue eyes, but I had to know more.\nOn June 10th of that year, Tales from the Crypt hit cable TV and became a legend. Since it was on HBO, it was unbound by typical censorship, and the blood and gore flowed like wine. The stories from the old comics were often adapted into teleplays, though some episodes were original scripts. As we\u2019ll examine below, many of these terror-tales combined a high FX budget with black humor and surprisingly star-studded casts. All of this magic was introduced and wrapped up by the Crypt Keeper, who had doubtless aged poorly since the 1950s but was still full of life\u2026 or unlife, whatever it may have been.\nOn the left, you have the Crypt Keeper as he appeared from 1950 to 1955 in the comics. On the right, you have him in 1989 on the TV show. Clearly, 34 years can do a lot.\nThe Crypt Keeper was designed and built by Kevin Yagher, a special FX artist famous for his work on Nightmare on Elm Street 2 though 4, Child\u2019s Play, and other horror blockbusters. The puppet required a team of puppeteers to operate, including a rig to handle the intricate facial movements that made him seem all too real. The voice of the undead storyteller was provided by John Kassir, a talented voice actor whose work you\u2019ve definitely heard if you\u2019ve ever watched cartoons. Kassir adopted a high, rich but reedy tone for the Crypt Keeper\u2019s speech, providing an odd touch of class while remaining insidious. The end result had long lasting psychological impact on me as a kid; I found the Crypt Keeper both terrifying and fascinating due to how real he seemed, how lifelike the movements of his dead face and body looked.\nMC Kids, Jail Break, Konami, arcade, grab bag, virgin games, toilet kids, TurboGrafx 16, NES\nGrab Bag: A Dose of the Absurd\nLunacy awaits you.

There are plenty of episodes that come off as corny, but even those have value; what truly stand out are the episodes with all-star casts that tell memorable stories and contain innovative film work or FX. I\u2019d like to note that while the ones I mention are my favorites, they are far from the only ones worth seeing; I advise anyone who hasn\u2019t had a look to seek out the DVDs or Blu-Rays\u2026 and a little bird told me some episodes might be on YouTube\u2026 there are few episodes that don\u2019t have something to like.\nMy man was a big star for a while. He had his own TV show for 7 seasons, rubbed elbows with celebrities, and even had an action figure made in his likeness. But stars have the farthest to fall. Still\u2026 that is a killer tux. Unknown Hinson either loaned that to him or is envious of it. I\u2019ll bet anything on that.\nSeason 1 starts off slow, with a few real clunkers, but two episodes deserve notice. One is actually the very first episode, \u201cThe Man Who Was Death.\u201d It stars William Sadler as the man who pulls the switch in a penitentiary\u2019s Death Row; he loses his job due to the repeal of the death penalty and decides to keep doing his work freelance. The episode is excellent not only for Sadler\u2019s top-notch performance, but because it sets the tone for many tales to come; Without spoiling too much, the executioner gets his just desserts in a truly ironic twist of events. \u201cAnd All Through the House\u201d is another noteworthy episode, starring Mary Ellen Trainor (the mom from Goonies) as an unscrupulous wife who kills her husband, with the legendary and late Larry Drake (Dr. Giggles) as the psycho Santa who interrupts her insidious plan. These two episodes set the bar for the series moving forward.\nSeason 2\u2019s most notable episode is \u201cThe Switch,\u201d directed by none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger himself. William Hickey plays an old millionaire who is deeply infatuated with a beautiful young lady (played by 80s-90s bombshell Kelly Preston). He has a doctor replace parts of his body with those of a young man named Hans when the young lady claims to like fit men; Once he\u2019s bankrupted himself to gain the bodybuilder\u2019s form, she decides she\u2019s attracted to money instead\u2026 and walks off with the now-shriveled bodybuilder, who has the millionaire\u2019s body\u2026 and his millions. Schwarzenegger makes a cameo appearance in the Crypt Keeper segments, starting a trend that would continue as stars occasionally hammed it up with the old corpse. Episode 14, \u201cLower Berth,\u201d tells a tale of circus freaks, love, violence\u2026 and the origin of a certain famous horror host\u2026 It isn\u2019t particularly innovative or memorable on its own, but \u201cLower Berth\u201d is still noteworthy for more great FX work.\nYes, that\u2019s a baby Crypt-Keeper. Yes, this one\u2019s based on a story from the comics where they find a baby Crypt Keeper. And yes\u2026 this was a choice they made.\nThe series began to hit its stride in Season 3, and three episodes immediately came to mind that show how versatile Tales from the Crypt was becoming in terms of the stories told. \u201cCarrion Death\u201d features Kyle MacLachlan as an escaped convicted killer, an unusual but well-played role for him. He and the police officer who tries to bring him in (George DelHoyo) are the only characters seen onscreen\u2026 unless you count the vultures in the desert that serves as the episode\u2019s grim setting. \u201cYellow,\u201d one of my favorite episodes, could well be considered one of the best in the entire series. Set during World War I (Specifically 1918), this episode is less horror than it is a wartime morality play. Kirk Douglas plays a general whose son (Eric Douglas) is a lieutenant under him during some of the war\u2019s worst trench fighting. Sadly, the apple has fallen far from the tree, and the general must face the humiliating truth that his son is a coward. Lance Henriksen and Dan Aykroyd play supporting roles, and I don\u2019t need to tell you that the acting is superb throughout. One could even consider it supplemental viewing for the WWI drama Paths to Glory, also starring Kirk Douglas. \u201cThe Reluctant Vampire\u201d stars Malcolm MacDowell as a bloodsucker who gets his fix by working as the night watchman at a blood bank. The episode also stats George Wendt (Cheers) as the blood bank manager and Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) as Dr. Rupert van Helsing. It\u2019s a bit more of the black humor than the horror, but the episode is charming and hard not to enjoy.\nSeason 4 continues the hit parade, and its sixth episode, \u201cWhat\u2019s Cookin,\u201d stars Christopher Reeve, Judd Nelson, and Meal Loaf in a story about a restaurant owner\u2019s quest to find the perfect dish\u2026 at any costs. \u201cSplit Personality\u201d features Joe Pesci as a con-man who pursues a pair of knockout twins by pretending to be a pair of twins himself. Let\u2019s just say it doesn\u2019t work out for him, and he finds himself torn between the lovely girls! \u201cWerewolf Concerto\u201d plays out a lot like a good mystery, eventually pitting a monstrous lycanthrope (Timothy Dalton) against a clever vampiress (Beverly D\u2019Angelo) at its conclusion. This episode also stars Dennis Farina, Reginald VelJohnson, and even Wolfgang Puck as the other guests at the resort where the monster battle goes down.\nThe fifth season has less to offer overall, but contains two episodes worth discussing. The first, \u201cDeath of Some Salesmen,\u201d is a testament to the versatility and talent of an actor some of us may be familiar with\u2026 one Tim Curry. Curry plays all three members of a deranged family who kidnap and eventually serve twisted justice to a crooked salesman played by Ed Begley Jr. Not only is the performance by Tim Curry the stuff of legend, but the camerawork is excellent as well, deftly maintaining the illusion that these are three separate people and not one amazingly talented actor. A cameo by Yvonne DeCarlo (The Munsters) caps this off as another of my favorites in the series. Also notable is \u201cOil\u2019s Well That Ends Well,\u201d a crime story about a set of swindlers who really have it in for each other over a bit of bubbling crude. One of them has a distinctive laugh you may have heard in the series\u2026 in fact, you\u2019ve heard it often.\nSeason 6 and 7 are when Tales from the Crypt began its decline; there were still episodes worth watching, but they became fewer and further between. One is Season 6\u2019s \u201cYou, Murderer,\u201d which stars John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini, Sherilyn Fenn\u2026 and Humphrey Bogart. The FX crew didn\u2019t need a shovel or a necromancer to put Bogie onscreen; the episode was an experiment in then-blossoming digital video technology. We see Bogart\u2019s face through reflections in mirrors, glass, and elsewhere\u2026 but barely do we ever see things outside his own point of view, which is how the story is framed. It\u2019s all done very skillfully, and remains an excellent example of good digital film work to this day. Lastly, Season 7 contains the only animated episode, \u201cThe Third Pig,\u201d a much more\u2026 well, adult retelling of the classic \u201cthree little pigs\u201d story. The antagonist, the Big Bad Wolf, is voiced by none other than Bobcat Goldthwait.\n4\u00d74\u2019s, jeep, 80s, car, review, feature\nPorsche 944, 80s, 90s, vehicle, car, review\nTFTC also put its name on a trio of films; two are pretty decent and one is absolutely terrible. Demon Knight, released by Universal in 1995, features William Sadler as a good guy this time, a nearly-immortal soldier keeping a sacred vial of blood safe from demons who want to rule the Earth. Billy Zane plays the human-seeming leader of these evil creatures as they lay siege to an old hotel Sadler\u2019s character has been cornered inside of. Jada Pinkett plays the young woman who eventually inherits the guardianship and ends the demon problem\u2026 for the time being. While it isn\u2019t a classic at any rate, Demon Knight is worth a watch, and has some great FX as well as a few solid scares.\nBilly Zane as the most charming demon you\u2019ll ever meet. Zane easily steals the show, as evidenced in this supercut of his performance for the film.\nBordello of Blood (1996) is about vampire whores, and stars Dennis Miller as a private investigator trying to get to the bottom of a young man\u2019s disappearance. Erika Eleniak, Corey Feldman, and Chris Sarandon also star in the bizarre black comedy film. Aubrey Morris plays a secondary role as the mortician whose business conceals the bloodsucker brothel, and the vampires are led by none other than 90s model-actress Angie Everheart. Everheart\u2019s performance is decidedly wooden, but everyone else does a fantastic job making this one fun. Miller\u2019s style of comedy is admittedly not everyone\u2019s taste, but his co-stars make up for him by playing decent foils to his constant referential comedy. All said and done, this one bombed at the box office.\nThis shot typifies the movie. Angie Everheart delivers some flat-as-a-board line in her best \u201csexy\u201d voice and Dennis Miller replies with something\u2026 very Dennis Miller. There is a badass vampire-destruction sequence (NSFW \u2013 TITS) in the middle and the FX are better than okay, but audiences didn\u2019t care for this one.\nRitual (2002) started off not even bearing the TFTC imprint. RKO\u2019s final film, it stars Tina Grey (Dirty Dancing) and Tim Curry in a clumsy jaunt through medicine, money, and the supernatural. Grey plays a medical professional who loses her license and takes a job on an island as a young man\u2019s nurse. She comes to suspect, over time, that he is under someone else\u2019s influence. Universal and Miramax bandied back and forth about who would own and release this movie, and if the Tales from the Crypt dressing would even grace it\u2026 the end result is a set of endcaps hosted by an incredibly shitty version of the puppet. He looks horrible, moves horribly, and even sounds horrible because of the affected accent. It\u2019s an atrocity. It makes me sad that this was the note RKO died on.\nAll I\u2019m going to show you is the cover of the DVD release, and even that\u2019s a goddamn disaster. If you insist on hurting yourself, I\u2019m pretty sure this one\u2019s on YouTube, and the owners of the intellectual property don\u2019t give a shit because they know they created a masochist\u2019s playground.\nIn July of 1996, TFTC was canceled. It was felt, perhaps rightfully, that the show had run its due course. The franchise lingered on for a while; there was a childrens\u2019 version of the show (and an accompanying line of action figures), a Nickelodeon-style game show, and even a radio show in 2000 for Seeing Ear Theater. The Crypt Keeper hosted a couple events, notably 2013\u2019s New Years Eve celebration on FEARnet (warning, pathetic)\u2026 but he wasn\u2019t his old self. The wonders of the original puppet were lost, replaced by a cheap and toylike mannequin that barely moved.\nSpeaking of toys\u2026 this guy\u2019s been with me since I was 11. When I go places, sometimes I pack him for good luck. And oh boy\u2026 has he been places. Also, shut up, the bathroom has the best lighting for shitty photos taken with a cell phone.\nBut let\u2019s not remember that. Let\u2019s remember the music video that shows him ogling a woman\u2019s ass and using turntables.\nLet\u2019s remember when his friends would come to visit and cheer the old cadaver up a little bit.\nLeft to right: CK and Tom Hanks wonder what it must be like to be Tom Hanks; Whoopi stops in on CK\u2019s talk show to set him straight; Arnold tries to put some meat on those old bones, to no avail.\nLet\u2019s remember one of CK\u2019s trademarks: His terrible, awful puns.\nAnd let\u2019s remember that even though M. Night Shyamalan is helping himself to a legacy he has no right to disinter, we\u2019ll always have 7 seasons of delightful horror to look back on. However you want to describe him further, the Crypt Keeper, in his undead TV form, became a pop-culture fixture. His stories were chilling morality plays tinged with blood and madness, and his presence is a difficult chill to shake off. Independent publishers still occasionally produce a rag or two bearing the logo and the likeness, and who knows\u2026 maybe this new series won\u2019t be total shit. We\u2019ll wait and see. Until then, pleasant screams!\nThanks for reading, Fright Fiends! October\u2019s still got plenty of chills and thrills for the RetroMonster in all of you.

Though it seems safe to say that wrapping up her storyline in a single episode means she\u2019ll suddenly develop extreme progeria and rapidly age 50 years right before our eyes, using whatever brief time she has left to resolve all of her differences with Piper and come to terms with her own troubled upbringing, before finally dissipating into dust.

        "raw_content": "Researchers show how one gene becomes two (with different functions)\nIllinois animal biology professor Christina Cheng led a study that traced the evolution of a gene for an antifreeze protein in an Antarctic fish from the gene for a protein with an entirely different function.\nCHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Researchers report that they are the first to show in molecular detail how one gene evolved two competing functions that eventually split up - via gene duplication - to pursue their separate destinies.\nThe researchers traced the evolution of a gene in the Antarctic eelpout (Lycodichthys dearborni) that enables it to survive in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean.\nPhoto by Christina Cheng\nThe study, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, validates a decades-old hypothesis about a key mechanism of evolution. The study also confirms the ancestry of a family of \"antifreeze proteins\" that helps the Antarctic eelpout survive in the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean.\n\"I'm always asking the question of where these antifreeze proteins come from,\" said University of Illinois animal biology professor Christina Cheng, who has spent three decades studying the genetic adaptations that enable Antarctic fish to survive in one of the coldest zones on the planet. \"The cell usually does not create new proteins from scratch.\"\nScientists have known since 2001 that the sequence of genes coding for a family of antifreeze proteins (known as AFP III) was very similar to part of a sequence of a gene that codes for a cellular enzyme in humans. Since Antarctic fish also produce this enzyme, sialic acid synthase (SAS), it was thought that the genes for these antifreeze proteins had somehow evolved from a duplicate copy of the SAS gene. But no study had shown how this happened with solid experimental data.\nCheng and her colleagues at the Chinese Academy of Sciences began by comparing the sequences of the SAS and AFP III genes.\nThere are two SAS genes in fish: SAS-A and SAS-B. The researchers confirmed that the AFP III genes contain sequences that are most similar to those in a region of SAS-B.\nThey also found a sequence in the SAS-B gene that, when translated into a new protein, could - with a few modifications - direct the cell to secrete the protein. This slightly modified signal sequence also appears in the AFP III genes. Unlike the SAS enzymes, which remain inside the cell, the AFP III proteins are secreted into the blood or extracellular fluid, where they can more easily disrupt the growth of invading ice crystals.\n\"This basically demonstrates how something that 'lives' inside the cell can acquire this new functionality and get moved out into the bloodstream to do something else,\" Cheng said.\nFurther analysis revealed that the SAS proteins function as enzymes but also have modest ice-binding capabilities. This finding supports a decades-old hypothesis that states that when a single gene begins to develop more than one function, duplication of that gene could result in the divergent evolution of the original gene and its duplicate.\nThe new finding also supports the proposed mechanism, called \"escape from adaptive conflict,\" by which this can occur. According to this idea, if a gene has more than one function, mutations or other changes to the gene through natural selection that enhance one function may undermine its other function.\n\"The original enzyme function and the emerging ice-binding function of the ancestral SAS molecule might conflict with each other,\" Cheng said. When the SAS-B gene became duplicated as a result of a copying error or some other random event in the cell, she said, then each of the duplicate genes was freed from the conflict and \"could go on its own evolutionary path.\"\n\"This is the first clear demonstration - with strong supporting molecular and functional evidence - of escape from adaptive conflict as the underlying process of gene duplication and the creation of a completely new function in one of the daughter copies,\" Cheng said. \"This has not been documented before in the field of molecular evolution.\"\nCheng said that even before the gene for the secreted antifreeze protein was formed, the original SAS protein appears to have had both the enzymatic and ice-binding functions. This suggests that somehow the SAS protein (which is not secreted) acted within the cell to disrupt the growth of ice.\nThis could have occurred \"in the early developmental stages of the fish,\" Cheng said, since the eggs are spawned into a cold environment and would benefit from even the modest antifreeze capabilities of the SAS protein.\nLater, after the SAS gene was duplicated and the AFP gene went on its own evolutionary path, Cheng said, the antifreeze protein appears to have evolved into a secreted protein, allowing it to disrupt ice formation in the bloodstream and extracellular fluid, where it would be of most benefit to the adult fish.\nThe National Science Foundation and the Chinese Academy of Sciences supported this research.\nEditor's note: To contact Christina Cheng, call 217-333-4245; e-mail c-cheng@illinois.edu.

        "raw_content": "Home / News - Our Students - University Philanthropy / Kashian Family Foundation Stre ...\nAs a global academic institution of higher learning, the American University of Armenia (AUA) welcomes students from around the world, particularly study abroad participants. Thanks to the generosity of the Kashian Family Foundation, undergraduates from California State University, Fresno (CSUF), spend a semester on AUA\u2019s campus in Yerevan where they have the opportunity to learn both in the classrooms as well as from their rich environment, located in the country\u2019s capital city.\n\u201cThe Kashian Family Foundation is pleased to support the CSUF/AUA partnership which has allowed students to study abroad in Armenia,\u201d said Georgeanne White, President of the Kashian Family Foundation. \u201cThe experience of participating in academic courses while immersing themselves in the Armenian culture is invaluable to these students and will hopefully create lifelong memories and friendships.\u201d\nTwo CSUF students were selected for the summer and fall 2018 semesters, Avedis Kachadourian and Christine Idjian, respectively, whose personal and professional lives were enriched during their months at AUA as they forged ties to Armenia early on.\nA senior at CSUF, Idjian is a Business Accounting major with a minor in Armenian Studies and is currently on AUA\u2019s campus enrolled in Intermediate Managerial Accounting, Introduction to Armenian Government, Photography and International Relations. While she has traveled to Armenia several times, her experience as a study abroad student has been quite different, particularly in terms of academic approach.\n\u201cI wanted to study abroad at AUA because it has always been interesting for me to see what the education system and teaching style is like in Armenia,\u201d said Idjian, who plans to obtain her master\u2019s degree and become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) upon graduation. \u201cI was interested in seeing what the studying environment is like in another country, but where almost everyone is Armenian.\u201d\nIn her classes, Idjian recognized similarities and differences, such as the importance of participation, larger homework load, emphasis on group work and computer-based exams. She notes that her courses have had \u201ca great impact\u201d on her academic goals, especially since she would like to acquire knowledge in international accounting and study the practices in Armenia. In addition, she appreciates the lively atmosphere and the new friendships she has made in the country.\nBorn and raised in Fresno, Idjian desired to explore her homeland further, despite her previous trips to Armenia and courses in Armenian studies at CSUF.\n\u201cI have enjoyed experiencing the feeling of living in my homeland for a few months,\u201d said Idjian. \u201cBy studying abroad in Armenia, I have discovered what the real Armenian culture is like and have added to my knowledge of the history and religion while discovering new cultural values and traditions by seeing, participating and attending cultural events.\u201d\nAn aspiring history professor, Kachadourian saw an opportunity for \u201cpersonal growth, historical knowledge, and cultural immersion\u201d that would shape his future as a study abroad student at AUA.\nHe sought to broaden his horizons and develop a deeper understanding of his Armenian heritage.\n\u201cLearning about Armenia\u2019s past has always been of utmost importance to me,\u201d said Kachadourian. \u201cIn Sunday school and at home, I grew up around the culture that runs deep in Fresno, California.\u201d\nHe learned of key Armenian figures as well as the Armenian Genocide while studying the history of the country in class, but desired to witness first-hand the \u201cfirst churches that withstood centuries of invasion from enemies against both Armenia and Christianity, and the rich mountains and hillsides that paint the Armenian landscape.\u201d\nA history major, Kachadourian enrolled in Armenian Society and Culture with Dr. Anahid Keshishian and Global Perspectives and Armenian Site Stories with Dr. Gregory Areshian at AUA.\n\u201cThe opportunity to learn from both of those professors was something I will always be grateful for,\u201d said Kachadourian. \u201cCombining their teachings with the multiple excursions we took every week, I was able to understand far more about Armenia and the rest of the world than I ever had before.\u201d\nHis favorite was the trip to the Areni 1 cave and the Norovank Monastery where the class was able to see \u201cthe remnants of ancient peoples who once lived in the Armenian Highlands and a monastery from the middle ages.\u201d\nDuring his semester on campus, Kachadourian appreciated the well-kept campus, modern facilities and helpful staff and above all, the kindness and hospitality of the students and faculty, who he noted were very welcoming.\nUpon receiving the scholarship and attending AUA, Kachadourian realized the memories he created in the homeland would stay with him forever.\n\u201cTraveling to Armenia was something I honestly thought I would not do until far later in my\nlife,\u201d said Kachadourian. \u201cI am extremely grateful to the Kashian Family Foundation that gave me the chance to go to Armenia and study at AUA because this was an opportunity of a lifetime.\u201d\n\u2190 AUA SPH Participates in National No Tobacco Day 2018\n\u2192 \u2018Entrepreneurs in Health\u2019 Project Helps Expand Medical Services in Kotayk and Tavush",

        "raw_content": "Book Tour: Jessie by Rebekah Lyn\nToday, I\u2019m participating in a blog tour by the fabulous Wendy Ewurum of Fabulosity Reads (heh heh, see what I did there?) for Jessie, by Rebekah Lyn. Make sure to enter the giveaway here, to win some awesome space stuff!\nWhat is Jessie about?\nThe four Cole boys suffer abuse at the hands of an alcoholic father, while largely being left to their own devices by a heartbroken and overworked mother. Their adventures on their island home have become a welcome escape, and one of the only things in life the boys can truly rely on. Jessie, the youngest and a dreamer, become enamored with US plans for manned space flight and its race to the moon, stirring his own dreams of one day becoming an astronaut. In a strange twist of fate, it is the space program and the momentum it gains that abruptly brings their beloved island life to an end. The family is forced to move to the city and start anew.\nLife in town creates new challenges, financial pressures, news of the Vietnam War and the impending threat of the military draft for Max the eldest of the Cole brothers.\nRebekah Lyn, author of Jessie\nHi Rebekah, good to see you here. Your last three books were centered on female lead characters. Why did you choose to write a story about teenage boys?\nI have no idea! For the most part, the characters choose me; most of my characters or plot ideas come to me at night. As soon as I turn off the light I start getting glimpses of the character or words start rolling around my brain. There is a letter from Virginia in this book that came to me one night and I couldn\u2019t get to sleep until I got up and wrote it all down.\nI know the feeling, happens to me all the time! What was your biggest challenge writing about teenage boys? Was it easy or difficult to relate to them? Did you discover something about boys that you had never imagined?\nIn a lot of ways I think writing about teenage boys was easier than any of my adult female characters. I had a lot of guy friends in high school and college. My mom was so excited when I was chosen to be a Resident Assistant in my college dorm my senior year, thinking it would help me make more female friends. Instead I ended up in the one co-ed dorm and had even more guy friends. Since I spent so much time around these guys I learned what made them tick. I can\u2019t think of anything I discovered that I didn\u2019t already know about boys.\nJessie\u2019s father is an alcoholic and your Beta readers indicated you are spot on in explaining Jessie\u2019s emotions regarding his father. Where did that insight come from?\nI was never exposed to drunken behavior as a child, but I\u2019ve always been a keen observer of human nature. As an adult, I\u2019ve seen my share of drunks, but, ultimately, I think the details that have resonated with beta readers who\u2019ve lived with alcoholic parents were divinely inspired.\nThe race for the moon was initiated by President John F Kennedy. What was the influence or inspiration to entwine the space race in Jessie\u2019s life?\nI wanted to tell a story about the town I grew up in, but needed an interesting angle and what could be more interesting than the space program? Many families lived in small communities on Merritt Island when the government chose to base the space program there. The conflict of Jessie\u2019s love for the space program and the loss of their home because of the program was the first spark of inspiration for this book.\nThis book only goes to the 1969 moon landing. Do you plan a follow up on the lives of the four Cole boys?\nI had a hard time deciding where to end this book. I wanted to honor and recognize all of the brave men and women who\u2019ve dedicated themselves to space exploration, but didn\u2019t want the book to be the size of War & Peace. The moon landing was such a tremendous milestone and emotional moment, not only in the United States, but also around the world. The more I researched it and watched a variety of news reports on it, the more it felt like the right spot to end this book. Once I settled on that, a follow up storyline developed, so there will definitely be another book coming, perhaps from a different character\u2019s point of view.\nBook Excerpt: Set Back\nJessie stood at the edge of the playground with two other boys, anxious for the next space launch. Recess would be over any minute. There would be no time for a hold in the countdown. Two weeks earlier the Russians had announced the successful launch of Yuri Gagarin into space. Once again the Americans had been left behind but today\u2019s launch would hopefully be the last before America put their own man into space.\nJessie held his breath as the rocket appeared above the trees. Then it happened. The plume of white smoke erupted into a fiery ball, debris flying in all directions. Jessie didn\u2019t wait for the teacher\u2019s frantic call to take shelter in the school. He shook his head and turned his back on the carnage. At the door, the teacher gently laid a hand on his shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look. Any other day and Jessie might have resented it, but he knew, today, it had nothing to do with his father and the reputation he\u2019d developed for himself the past couple of years.\nWhen school was out, Jessie dragged his feet along the familiar path home. He kept walking when he came upon his brothers, his head down, watching the sand shift beneath his worn-out sneakers.\n\u201cI heard the explosion.\u201d Max draped an arm over Jessie\u2019s shoulders. \u201cSorry.\u201d\nJessie nodded.\n\u201cMaybe we should go out to the beach, see if we can find any pieces,\u201d Ricky suggested.\nThe thought turned Jessie\u2019s stomach, but then he stopped. \u201cThat\u2019s not a bad idea. I\u2019d like to have something to remember we at least tried to get to space.\u201d\n\u201cDon\u2019t talk like that,\u201d Sam said. \u201cWe\u2019ll get there, it\u2019s just going to take time.\u201d\nJessie knew Sam was trying to be encouraging, and so attempted a smile of thanks before shifting course across the large field of scrub grass.\nThe boys spread out when they reached the beach. The tide was low but turning. Jessie took the section closest to the water, knowing the rising tide would cover it in another hour. The salty tang of sea spray filled his nostrils and he inhaled, while his eyes and ears locked away every detail of the sand and surf.\nHe saw a flash of light ten feet ahead and quickened his pace, keeping his eyes on the spot. The ocean foamed up, then slowly retreated. Jessie squatted down to find a silver and black triangle, partially buried in the sand. Another wave rushed toward him, splashing over his feet and soaking the bottom of his shorts. He held onto the metal afraid the undertow would pull it out to sea. When the water receded, Jessie pulled the debris free of the remaining sand. It was five inches tall and three wide. Turning it over in his hands he noted scorch marks and part of what he thought might be the letter U or A from the USA painted on the side of the rocket.\n\u201cGuys,\u201d he waved to his brothers.\nMax arrived first. \u201cWhat\u2019d you find?\u201d\nJessie handed him the piece of metal.\n\u201cCool.\u201d Ricky joined them and reached for the newfound treasure.\n\u201cGood job, Jess.\u201d Sam clapped his brother on the back. \u201cI didn\u2019t think we\u2019d find anything that big.\u201d\nJessie reached for the metal and traced the rough edges. \u201cYou don\u2019t think they will give up do you?\u201d\nSam shook his head. \u201cSince the Russians have gotten into space already, I don\u2019t see how we can give up now.\u201d\n\u201cI hope they don\u2019t.\u201d Jessie tore his gaze away from his find and looked at his brothers. \u201cI want to be an astronaut.\u201d\nMax laughed. \u201cYou can\u2019t be an astronaut.\u201d\n\u201cCause you gotta have money to be an astronaut. You don\u2019t think Shepard and Grissom and all those other guys are dirt poor do you?\u201d\n\u201cMaybe they\u2019re not dirt poor, but they aren\u2019t filthy rich. They were chosen because they were in the military and had good records.\u201d\n\u201cSo you gonna enlist when you turn eighteen? We\u2019ll probably still be in that dag gum Vietnam and you\u2019ll go and get yourself killed the first day in the jungle.\u201d\n\u201cNuh-huh. I know how to take care of myself. I hide from you in the woods all the time.\u201d Jessie balled his hands into fists and planted his feet.\nSam stepped between them. \u201cCool it, Max. If Jessie wants to be an astronaut, then maybe he can be. Lots of things are changing.\u201d\nMax snorted. \u201cYeah, and I could be President.\u201d\n\u201cIf that happens, then I\u2019m moving to Mexico,\u201d Ricky quipped.\nJessie laughed and unclenched his fists. Yet again Sam had brokered peace without anyone coming to blows. Maybe Sam was the one who would become President.\nSam stepped back. \u201cLet\u2019s head home.\u201d\n\u201cDid you hear Mom and Pop got another letter from the government yesterday?\u201d Max asked as they walked along the hard packed sand.\n\u201cAbout what?\u201d Jessie asked, turning up the beach, shuffling through the soft sand to a well-worn path across the dunes. Thick saw palmettos, sea grapes, and sea oats grew on either side of the path, slowly thinning as the boys moved farther from the beach.\n\u201cAbout buying our land. They want to expand the missile complex more. They\u2019ve been buying up all the land around here.\u201d Max swatted at a dragonfly buzzing around his head.\n\u201cBut they already have so much land, what do they need more for?\u201d Jessie ducked under the wispy needles of an Australian Pine tree, his brothers close behind.\n\u201cHow\u2019m I supposed to know? I didn\u2019t see the letter, I just heard them arguing about it after we went to bed. Mom wants to take their offer, but Pop doesn\u2019t want to move.\u201d\n\u201cI don\u2019t want to move either,\u201d Ricky agreed. \u201cI like being close to the beach and huntin\u2019 in the woods.\u201d\n\u201cI don\u2019t think we have much choice. Sounded like the government letter said we take the offer or they\u2019ll just take the land away from us.\u201d\n\u201cThey can\u2019t do that,\u201d Jessie cried. \u201cWe\u2019ve lived here forever.\u201d\n\u201cNot forever, you moron,\u201d Max sneered. \u201cMom and Pop only moved here during the war, when Pop got assigned to the Banana River Naval Air Station.\u201d\n\u201cStill, that\u2019s practically forever.\u201d Jessie let his fingers run through the thin pine needles as they emerged from the copse of trees into a clearing.\n\u201cThere are families that have lived here since the 1800s and they\u2019re being bought out too. I don\u2019t think the government is going to consider our twenty years here more important,\u201d Sam replied.\nJessie rolled his eyes. Leave it to Sam to know the history of the island.\n\u201cBut they can\u2019t just take our land,\u201d Jessie insisted.\n\u201cYes, they can, it\u2019s called eminent domain. If they can prove to the court that private property is needed for public use and fair compensation has been offered, the court will likely rule in favor of the government.\u201d\n\u201cBut this isn\u2019t public use,\u201d Ricky interjected.\n\u201cYes and no.\u201d Sam leaned forward, obviously warming to the subject. \u201cA public park isn\u2019t being created, but the research being conducted and the satellites being launched are for the public good. Plus, the government will probably be able to make a pretty good case for public safety. Think about how close this piece of the rocket landed to our house. The government can use this incident and the others before as evidence of danger to the people still living on this end of the island.\u201d\n\u201cAll right, professor, we get it, but it still doesn\u2019t mean I want to move,\u201d Ricky interrupted.\nUp ahead, Jessie could see the orange grove that bordered their land, and glanced back over his shoulder. He couldn\u2019t see the beach through the trees, but it had taken less than five minutes to stroll home. Sam was right. This one had been a little too close for comfort.\nRebekah is a Christian with a heart for new beginnings. She is a Florida native and a graduate of Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, Fl.

        "raw_content": "Scott May 3, 2012 September 26, 2017 2 Comments on Saving 25 Bond Street in Augusta, Maine\n25 Bond Street in Augusta Maine\nThis is a sad tale of an historic house and street in limbo. The Bangor Daily News recently reported on the ongoing saga of 25 Bond Street in Augusta, Maine which has been in the city\u2019s possession for over a decade:\nThe city plans to enlist neighbors, downtown advocates and historic preservationists as officials try to figure out what to do with the historic but dilapidated and cheaply built former millworker house at 25 Bond St.\nThe city-owned house, vacant since 1999, in considered by many to be a significant and unique example of millworker housing.\nHowever, the owner of a neighboring building has told city officials it is a hazardous eyesore making it hard to attract tenants to his building next door, and should be torn down, according to city councilors.\nResearch done in 2004 when a city committee studied what to do with the mustard-yellow building, which now has painted-on fake windows, could not pinpoint when it was built but determined that it probably was built sometime between 1875 and 1878. It was built on the property of Sprague Manufacturing Co.\nThe house is believed to have been built for millworkers, many of whom came to Maine from Quebec to work at the cotton mill that would later be owned by Edwards Manufacturing Co. Other homes and apartment buildings also were constructed on the street and on Sand Hill to house the thousands of workers employed at the mill.\nThe city bought the house in 2000, for $14,500, from St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church, which had been willed the house at the death of its previous owner, John Dienaltoski.\nThe 2004 study committee concluded the time was not right to conduct a major restoration of the building, but recommended the city keep possession of it.\nA 2007 report by a committee charged with studying the future and potential for revitalization of Bond Street, a very short street running between Water Street and Mount Vernon Avenue, recommended the city sell 25 Bond St. but require, through a preservation easement, that the new owner restore and maintain the building \u201cto its historic 19th Century character.\u201d\nWe\u2019re not sure what the hold-up is on selling the house with the preservation easements. That sounds like a reasonable plan and vital to maintaining the historical integrity of Bond street.\nHaving driven on Bond street many times, we have always been struck by the underlying cohesiveness of the buildings. As you can see in the Google Map below, the buildings on the street are in pretty good condition and are all of the same general age and style. Additionally, all of the buildings on the side with 25 Bond Street back up to, not surprisingly, Bond Brook which adds to the desirability.\nThat being said, Bond Street needs a lot of help since it is a major connector road between Northern Avenue and Mt. Vernon Avenue so it gets a lot of traffic for a short road. The geography of the area with Northern Avenue shooting up a hill and Bond Brook means Bond Street is the only option for traffic to switch between roads. Naturally, this traffic reduces the desirability of Bond Street as a residential area.\nTo add desirability, the city should look at doing three things:\nFirst, there has been some nice sidewalk work on Water Street (which becomes Northern Avenue) that needs to be extended up Bond Street. It\u2019s been awhile since we\u2019ve been through there so perhaps this work has already been done or is in the works, but from the Google Map it is vital that this happens.\nSecond, Bond Street should be zoned mixed use so that some of the buildings can capitalize on the traffic with commercial space. This would bring cars that would parallel park on the street which not only calms traffic, but provides a buffer for pedestrians from traffic.\nThird, add a few sidewalk bump-outs with tree wells would be important for adding needed shade for pedestrians (currently lacking due to the low stature of the buildings), providing safer mid-street pedestrian crossing, and additional traffic calming.\nWhat do think . . . does this sound like a plan? Any other options or ideas out there?

As Voltaire once put it, the empire was neither \u201choly, nor Roman, nor an empire,\u201d and that was indeed true at the time of Voltaire, as the medieval empire had grown into something that, by the early modern period, resembled nothing we understand as a \u201ccountry\u201d or a \u201cnation\u201d today. While predominantly an empire of German people, as its later name, Heiliges R\u00f6misches Reich Deutscher Nation (albeit not an oft-used name), suggests, it is in fact a collection of people who we would regard today as \u201cGermans\u201d\u2014Franks, Bavarians, Saxons, etc\u2014and those who we wouldn\u2019t regard as \u201cGermans\u201d\u2014Austrians, Swiss, Dutch, Poles, Bohemians, northern Italians, etc. The empire is a puzzle, with its pieces coming from people of different nations and religions, with decentralised authorities.\nIt is the empire\u2019s decentralised and lack of coherence from a nationalistic angle that makes its history so unique and difficult to tell. A chronological history would leave various individual aspects of the empire disjointed without common threads, while a thematic history, as Peter H. Wilson has chosen to organise this book, would allow a more coherent narrative around individual aspects of the empire, but would sacrifice the coherence in a temporal sense. This is an unavoidable trade-off in discussing the Holy Roman Empire, and Peter H. Wilson has done it with an almost superhuman ambition. The result, while at times difficult to follow, is perhaps the best one can possibly achieve in narrating the thousand-year history of central europe, from the founding of the Empire by Charlemagne to the Abdication of Francis II and beyond.",

        "title": "ARC Four Star Review: The Disasters by M.K. England \u2013 Novel Lives",
        "raw_content": "On September 10, 2018 September 10, 2018 By Susan CrosbyIn 2018, Book 1, Reviews, Sci-fi/Fantasy, September, Series, YA\nARC provided by HarperTeen and Edelweiss in Exchange for an Honest Review\nOk before I actually go into the review of The Disasters by M.K. England I feel the need to go into a bit of a disclaimer. This is the third high review I\u2019ve given in a row. However, it is also a completely different genre of the two books before it.\nAlso, the book before these three was a 3.5 star review and before that I went through quite a book slump. I don\u2019t usually give a public review to books that are going to fall into a one or two star review. However, I made one exception because I was so entirely disturbed, ethically, by some of what was covered in the book. It was completely in appropriate for Young Adult novel (and I\u2019m a Game of Thrones fan, so that takes a bit for me to say). So I felt it the right thing to do (and if you want to see the review, please scroll through my reviews to find it. It is the only published two star review.\nSecondly, before that there were three books I could not, for the life of me finish. I will not name them here. I do not, unless in the case above, publicly review books that I cannot finish. I don\u2019t feel any good comes of doing this to an author or their work. It could just not be my type of book. So while it might seem like there are a lot of high rated books over last week and starting this week. It has come at the end of a drought of good reads. It is not that I\u2019m an easy to please reader. I just don\u2019t tend to publish anything below three stars and It has been a case of DNF or BRILLIANCE lately.\nLastly, I have read, in the past week in a half- two weeks three completely different genres and loved all three, which is a good thing. I like variety (and need it right now). So while yes, I have given out high ratings to the two previous books, and now The Disasters, comparing them would be apples and oranges. They are of completely different genres. OK. Now that is out of the way\u2026\nThe Disasters is a laugh out loud mash-up of characters so diverse that even when you think you know where they lie on the spectrum of diversity, two chapters later you realize they have a multi-cultural and sexual orientation chasm going on in one character. Meanwhile I don\u2019t remember any of this being mentioned in the promotion for the book, nor the overriding Middle-Eastern themes. Well done on the England and HarperTeen\u2019s part to let that be a surprise welcome. This book is being promoted on the the plot, characters and overall fun to be had. Oh and the dedication, which I love.\nTo everyone who\u2019s ever felt like a disaster. Here, have a spaceship! Now fly.\nThere is so much of Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy in this book that I almost forced myself not to laugh. However it only took about thirty pages before I couldn\u2019t help but laugh out loud (and that isn\u2019t easy to make me do these days). Nax, the main character and our first person point-of-view is the self-confident on the outside and all kinds of hot mess on the inside \u201ccaptain, my captain\u201d as co-conspirator to be, Rion calls him, provides that laugh.\n\u201cStop yawing, stop yawing!\u201d I shout back to Rion, not even slightly sure that yawing is an actual word, but also not giving a flying, crashing fuck.\nNax is definitely Hans Solo-esque all the way. Although Rion definitely takes the cake as a bi-sexual, African-American British male raised for the political world with a flair for table top dancing meant for distraction.\nMeanwhile, in the middle of the humor, the layers of cultural, sexual and worlds of diversity England manages bring in political commentary that while set about 150 years from now, is completely relevant to current times. While not spoiling the story, beseech it to say that a group that was supposedly put to rest a hundred years ago found a way to go underground and infiltrate itself into different systems that made it more powerful then when it was publicly out in front as a political force garnering support. By infiltrating the different worlds systematically it was able to reach the upper echelon\u2019s of power and rear its ugly heads in the most powerful positions in the worlds beyond Earth and devise a plan to destroy everything that had been built over the past 100 years (sound familiar)? .\nNow it is up to our Space Academy rejects that are accused of all the crimes they didn\u2019t commit to clear their names, stop this evil force and save the universe. Here is where I start to hear a bit of Lord of the Rings ringing in my head. At one point, Nax is thinking\u2026\nThis whole thing is cracked. Way dangerous; god, I know it is\u2026 We each have to execute our roles perfectly. Grenades flying, weapons firing, beefy security guys\u2026 I hope we all live\u2026 I take a deep breath\u2026 \u201cLet\u2019s do this.\u201d\nAnd with that all I can hear is\u2026\nDon\u2019t get me wrong. This is NOT a criticism. There is nothing wrong with drawing from your inspirations. Especially when you draw from the best there is and England definitely draws from the best.\nIn the end, The Disasters is a high-paced, #squadgoals, laugh out loud, fun read that I hope to see on the big screen some day. It was built for it! Each world was vividly described in immense detail and would make for brilliant tie-ins in a second book. The same could be said for each character.\nWhile we had the chance to begin to delve into the character back stories I get the suspicion that was just the beginning. I would love to see this squad move forward, as well. The ending went a little too fast for me and maybe that is why I would like to see them move forward together.\nAfter that ending, which I won\u2019t spoil\u2026 this squad deserves another impossible mission and chance to find their identity as a team and each other. I can\u2019t help but get the feeling there is so much more to come for them as a team and individually! There is more to be learned about each character\u2019s back story, family and what makes them tick, more on why they were booted from the academy and why some are done with Earth. Again there were surface reasons given but I just have an inkling that is the tip of the ice burgh.\nI can see a second book full of \u2026 Why is Case? What is Case? When is Case? Who is Case? Where is Case? \u2026 ok I will stop Guardianing now\u2026. FLY ON Disasters!!! I can\u2019t wait to see what is in store next.\nActionBisexualBook1DiversityGame Of ThronesGuardians of the GalaxyInclusionLord of the ringsMK EnglandMulticulturalOwn VoicesSci-FiSpaceStrong Female CharactersThe DisastersThrillerTransgender\n6 thoughts on \u201cARC Four Star Review: The Disasters by M.K. England\u201d\n\ud83d\ude42 That looks like a rather interesting book to read.\nIf you are looking for a fun space read? It most definitely is one!!!\njessmcombs\nLove this review! I\u2019ve had a streak of good books lately as well and have been writing about the same thing. I don\u2019t want it to come across as if everything I read makes me happy\u2026 Especiallysince it\u2019s Usually the exact opposite!\nThank you! I was thinking of doing a separate blog post/rant but then I decided otherwise. There are so many rants I would like to do lol\u2026.. I am afraid my blog would turn into one big rant and people would tune off after a while!\nNah\u2026everyone loves a good rant! (Or 2 or 3 or 50\u2026) One of my favorite bloggers used to only post rants. They were really very funny! When she stopped blogging, I really missed reading them.\nI will definitely keep that in mind and make sure to make a list of my rants and prioritize them\u2026 maybe start making them into tags/discussions! Thank you for the feedback and encouragement!",

        "raw_content": "Court Interpreter Program Training Courses\nEthics in the Courtroom for Court Interpreters (2017)\nDuring this session, presenters will review the \"Code of Professional Responsibility for Nevada Court Interpreters\". The training will outline the 10 different areas of the Nevada Code of Professional Responsibility and discuss various ethical considerations for credentialed court interpreters.\nUnderstanding and Preventing Vicarious Trauma and Compassion Fatigue in the Court Community (2017)\nWe are individually and collectively affected by trauma through the work we do each day. We are traumatized by what we see, hear, and read and by the questions we must ask and the answers we receive. Most of us have lived with the message that \u201cif we care enough, we\u2019ll tough it out.\u201d We are learning very quickly that we have been deceiving each other and ourselves with such a mantra. In fact, the toll that trauma takes is significant and serious. As representatives of the courts, we cannot be delinquent in tending to our needs while embracing our roles as public servants.\nBetween 1990 and 2013, the number of individuals with limited English proficiency in the United States grew by 80%. This represents 9% of the total U.S. population. And more than one in every five people in the US currently speaks a language other than English at home. Our civil and criminal justice systems must effectively respond to all people seeking safety and justice through the courts, including those with limited-English proficiency. Survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault can face special challenges as they navigate the justice system. A survivor with Limited-English proficiency (LEP) can encounter even greater obstacles to finding help, recovery and justice. This introductory course - Interpreting for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Cases - seeks to equip court and legal interpreters with fundamental knowledge and insights about domestic violence and sexual assault that will enhance their ability to help LEP survivors make their voices heard.\nInterpreting for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Cases consists of self-paced interactive modules guided by a virtual coach. Participants can move through the course with several navigational tools and may return to various learning points. The first two modules of the course offer a learning experience for interpreters as well as other professionals in the justice system who may encounter domestic violence and sexual assault survivors with limited English proficiency. Subsequent modules will have a greater focus on the interpreter\u2019s role and the critical skills and specific knowledge needed to most competently interpret in domestic violence and sexual assault cases.",

        "raw_content": "FREE AGENCY HAS A PRICE\nALL the whining this week from Vancouver GM Dave Nonis \u2013 he doesn\u2019t like the new NHL\u2019s early-decision free agency, he doesn\u2019t like the new NHL\u2019s schedule format \u2013 reminds us that, yes, indeed, he sure did apprentice under Brian Burke.\nFunny, isn\u2019t it, that Nonis failed to mention he was able to trade for Roberto Luongo only because the goaltender would have qualified for 2007 accelerated free agency, but that must have slipped Nonis\u2019 mind.\nEven funnier is that when NHL GMs meet this week, the agenda will feature a discussion about changing salary arbitration. The union, which is believed amenable to amending the system, will agree to changes only in exchange for even more liberalized free agency.\nSo the GMs can pick their poison. They can either lose core players through a salary-arbitration system that is incompatible with a hard-cap structure, or they can lose their players through free agency at the age of 25 or 26.\nThe league, by the way, couldn\u2019t care less. Nonis and his brethren might want to recall that Gary Bettman\u2019s tirades during the Summer of \u201904 labor talks were directed at the GMs and their collective inability to make coherent business decisions, not at Bob Goodenow or the players.\nNonis\u2019 complaints about the league\u2019s division-heavy, conference-tilted schedule in which Eastern and Western clubs visit each other once every three years will get a hearing this week. But a return to the day when interconference opponents played home-and-home annually is not likely.\nHome-and-home interconference play would eat 30 games of an 82-game schedule, thus leaving 52 games to divide among 14 conference opponents. Even now, NHL teams play 39 percent of their games within the division, a smaller percentage of divisional games than played by every Major League Baseball team except those in the AL West.\nYes, it\u2019s true, fans in Vancouver don\u2019t get to see Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin or Alexander Ovechkin every season. But Nonis should think of it this way: Each and every one of them can sign as a free agent with Western teams in another five or six years.\nBy the way, according to Team Marketing Report, 17 of the 30 teams in the TYFL (Thank You Fans League) raised season-ticket prices this season, with 10 holding steady and three dropping their price.\nIn between counting the empty seats at the rink in Anaheim for the Rangers\u2019 game Wednesday, we checked the media guide and saw that the price of single-game tickets downstairs had increased from $85 last year to $96 this season.\nAt first we thought it was some kind of a joke, then quickly remembered that the Ducks\u2019 executive VP and GM, Burke, has no sense of humor.\nEvery time we read or hear about some 5-7 guy who wouldn\u2019t be in the NHL without the new rule interpretations, we wonder how many 5-9 guys would be in the NBA if they outlawed shot-blocking.\nThe writers who have been around the league forever and can find nothing wrong with this NHL, they\u2019re pretending to think this way so they\u2019re allowed to have regular spots on the state-endorsed Canadian TV networks, right?\nThe irony is, the impact of playing eight games against divisional opponents has been diluted by the disappearance of intimidation \u2013 hence, to a significant degree, passion \u2013 in the NHL.\nNo intimidation factor, no opponent to \u201chate.\u201d\nEvery game is a variation of the same theme. The Big Bad Bruins can no longer exist. The Broad Street Bullies have been legislated into obsolescence. The Flying Frenchmen are no longer distinct.\nBut, hey, look at that 5-7 guy dance to the net without fear of paying the price.\nThe LCDL (Lowest Common Denominator League) \u2013 and yes, we are full of, uh, acronyms today, aren\u2019t we? \u2013 continues to devalue its history. Within moments of the Ducks\u2019 4-3 OT loss on Wednesday to the Rangers, Anaheim issued a press release proclaiming the accomplishment of becoming the first team since the 1995-96 Penguins to earn a point in its first 13 games.\nOf course, the Ducks actually lost four games (in OT) in opening 9-0-4, whereas the Penguins had gone undefeated in opening 12-0-1 (one tie), but then, according to the release, the columns in the standings have been redefined as, \u201cW, L, P,\u201d for, \u201cWins, Losses, Points.\u201d\nPLAX DOWNGRADED TO QUESTIONABLE",

A whole staff for that matter.\u201d\n\u201cGod bless our #NYPD,\u201d said another.\nBut Sunset Park High students defended the piece \u2014 and the school\u2019s right to display it.\n\u201cIt\u2019s free speech, right?\u201d said one sophomore. \u201cJust because people from wherever call in, we have to take it down? I don\u2019t think that\u2019s right.\u201d\nAnother said many students at the school are generally suspicious of police and that the poster reflected that sentiment.\n\u201cIt sends a strong message,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t think they should have moved it. That\u2019s how the person who made it felt.\u201d\nTeachers steered clear of the matter Thursday.\n\u201cThis is the reality these days,\u201d one said. \u201cThat\u2019s all I can say about it.\u201d\nThe Department of Education confirmed that the poster had been displayed and was later relocated after the complaints.\n\u201cAll schools must provide a supportive and inclusive learning environment, and we encourage students to express themselves in creative ways,\u201d said DOE spokesman Michael Aciman. \u201cThe poster was made as part of an after-school program and it has been moved.\u201d\nFiled under brooklyn , high schools , nypd , police\nIntruder beats woman with crowbar after she returns home",

Maybe they have large families or are remodeling their home. Perhaps it is a new construction project, a yard makeover or any variety of other reasons, but whatever those reasons may be the only way to get rid of all that refuse is a Dumpster in Suffolk County NY. Well, it may not be the only way, but it is certainly the most convenient. After all, who wants to drag out extra cans to the curb, assuming the trash service will allow you to toss the stuff out that way.\nOf course, not all people have considered their trash collection alternatives. In fact most people think that garbage collection is just a couple of cans they set at the curb twice a week or a plastic cart they lease from their local garbage pickup service. Few ever realize that a Dumpster in Suffolk County NY can come in a variety of sizes or that most companies lease to homeowners as well as businesses.\nDumpsters have a variety of purposes. They can be leased for short term use such as quick construction or demolition jobs or they can be hired for long term usage although this is usually done in commercial settings. One popular use for small to medium sized dumpsters is the clean out of vacated homes or commercial buildings. People often leave a lot of junk behind when the move and sometimes the best way to get rid of it is using a Dumpster in Suffolk County NY. Of course, you might try dragging it all to the dump yourself if you have a vehicle capable of carrying it and if you don\u2019t have anything better to do.\nIf you have decided on renting a Dumpster in Suffolk County, NY make sure you understand exactly what the company will accept and what they cannot. For example, electronics are a definite no no when it comes to trash disposal. Federal regulations forbid the disposal of electronics in local landfills. Likewise, some Metal recycling facilities have specific dumpsters for recyclable metals and would prefer to keep refuse out. Discuss your situation with the leasing company who will gladly fill you in on all the details.",

A Review of the Problems Caused by China's One Child Policy and Their Potential Solutions\nYuanting Zhang, Bowling Green State University\nFranklin Goza, Bowling Green State University\nChina's one child per couple policy has been controversial since its implementation. Scholars have examined this policy from multiple angles and most agree that one unavoidable consequence of the one child policy will be the aging of China's population. Because the increasing proportion of elderly among the Chinese population will have profound social and economic implications, the development of appropriate policies and measures is required. To help with the development of such policy, qualitative data recently collected from elderly individuals representing various segments of Chinese society are presented. These interviews help personalize the consequences of China's demographic shifts and also suggest possible solutions for lessening their effects. To help contextualize these demographic transformations, China's past, present and likely future demographic situations are discussed, as are several relevant theories on aging. The paper concludes by presenting and discussing possible resolutions specific to the elderly in urban areas and the countryside.",

        "raw_content": "Can we truly appreciate the sunshine without the shade?\nA dear friend told me that she loved when I posted things that really helped her learn about me. This piece may not be the best. It may ramble, it may be too long and it may mean nothing to most, but it means something to me because it is a part of me.\nOctober. Yes, that\u2019s the month we\u2019re in. It\u2019s also the most difficult month of the year for me. You\u2019ll understand why by the end of this post, but for now, I have to provide you with a little background. Last Tuesday at work, during our monthly all-staff meeting, we had a training about grief. A woman who truly understood the meaning of loss delivered the training. Her husband died on Christmas day. He left her with a four-year-old and they were expecting their second son. I can\u2019t imagine. She talked about the work she did with a company called Fernside. The company\u2019s website says, \u201ca non-profit organization offering support and advocacy to grieving families who have experienced a death.\u201d She explained that grief isn\u2019t merely the result of the death of someone in one\u2019s life and it doesn\u2019t only manifest in days of sobbing into one\u2019s pillow. My coworkers and I are all too aware of the angry, rude, threatening, mental breakdown, and manic manifestations of grief. And not grief from the death of a loved one: the parents we work with have lost their children to a system they feel is out to get them. Reality is just individual perception: grief is all about loss in your reality. This is about loss in my reality: first grief, biggest grief, and current grief.\nFIRST GRIEF\nWhen I was ten, my Pop lost his battle with brain cancer. He was, in my ten-year-old reality, the best person to ever walk the face of the planet. He was a Penn State grad and had been in the Navy for what seemed like a lifetime. As early as six-years-old, I memorized that the Pop that existed before me was a Master Chief Electrician on the USS Sam Rayburn, a nuclear class submarine, and was the Chief of the Boat of the Gold Crew (that\u2019s the highest you can get if you\u2019re enlisted in the Navy). The Pop I knew was a teacher at the local vocational school. He was tall and smart. He danced with me standing on the tops of his feet to Elvis Presley\u2019s \u201cFalling in Love With You.\u201d He knew someone everywhere we went. But the important thing was that he was MY Pop.\nI was nine when I learned what cancer was. I knew it was in Pop\u2019s brain. I knew there were several \u201ctumors.\u201d I learned about chemotherapy and radiation. Every night \u2013 every single one \u2013 I prayed over and over, \u201cPlease let Pop live one more Christmas. Please, please, please let Pop live one more Christmas.\u201d What you don\u2019t understand about Christmas at Pop and Grammy\u2019s is this: miracles could happen then and there. My little heart just knew that if he lived until Christmas, everything would be ok. I was so sure he would live one more Christmas, all the Christmas crafts we made at school; I wrapped and put his name on.\nWhen we had gone up at Thanksgiving, my Pop was his normal self. He was having some radiation treatments, but nothing outside the fatigue I was used to. Somewhere between the Thanksgiving and Christmas trip, I recall my mom telling me that Pop was not doing well. She tried to prepare me for what I would find when we made the nine to ten-hour trek to Pop and Grammy\u2019s house over the river (the Susquehanna) and through the woods for the yuletide holiday, but the words in my head never made it to my heart. I was shocked to find him completely immobilized on the couch. He was nonverbal. He didn\u2019t eat. He was weak. He would only take a few sips of Ensure for me. I recall on Christmas Eve, he kept trying to get up. Something was wrong and no one could figure out what he was trying to get up to do. Mom, Dad and Grammy huddled in the kitchen and discussed the possibilities. I don\u2019t recall the conversation but I remember my Mom coming to me saying, \u201cPop always hid presents around the house and would put them under the tree on Christmas Eve. We think he knows they aren\u2019t out and is trying to get them. Ask him if that\u2019s what he\u2019s doing and tell him we\u2019ll look and find everything.\u201d I walked through the dining room, across the living room and sat on the couch where his defeated body rested. His eyes bore through me as I repeated the instructed script. He sighed and closed his eyes. That night we found a scarf, diamond ring and a lapel pin for my Grammy.\nHe lived one more Christmas. He died on December 28, 1994; two days after we drove back to Cincinnati from Pop and Grammy\u2019s house in Berwick, PA. Pop always said he would never go into a nursing home. He died while my Grammy was signing admission papers. My small ten-year-old mind had little understanding of loss. I was angry. I was the only person who had gifts for Pop under the tree. I thought he knew this and it may have made him feel like no one wanted him anymore. I understand now, the completely illogical process of this thought. That was the first time I saw my Dad cry. I still shutter at that thought. I have the most vivid memory of saying to my Mom, \u201cPop wouldn\u2019t want us to cry,\u201d and thinking, \u201cBut I just can\u2019t hold it in.\u201d I didn\u2019t feel physical pain at the loss of my Pop. I was sad, but my brain wasn\u2019t really able to comprehend the loss. My Grammy had lost her whole life in him. Helping to take care of her made it easier for me to survive. Just like one never forgets a first love, one never forgets first loss.\nHARDEST GRIEF\nToday is the hardest day. Thirteen years ago, October 30th became the worst day of my life. I was sixteen and although I had experienced my fair share of loss at that point, I had no idea what I was in for. I was about to embark on a life long journey in cognizant grieving. With my Pop and other loss along the way, grieving was just being sad. This would be an entirely different beast because my brain was capable of processing it in a new and more complex way.\nMy Dad lost a long battle with brain cancer. The thing I remember most about the grief I experienced with the loss of my Dad was the physical pain. Put your hand in the middle of your chest, right where the CPR guys tell you to make your compressions. Move your hand up about two inches and to your right about two more. That\u2019s where the pain is. It\u2019s not a sharp pain. It\u2019s more like an ache. I get that ache when I hear the Van Morrison song, \u201cInto the Mystic.\u201d That\u2019s the song Dad and I would have danced to if he\u2019d been alive when I got married.\nI remember the tumors were pushing on the part of his brain effecting his sight and speech. He had double vision and had to wear an eye patch. This was tough at the grocery store because of those mid-aisle displays that he would run into from time-to-time. I would walk on the patch side so he would run into me instead. Near the end, there was very little Dad could say. Frequently, he said, \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d over and over. Parts of my days, at that time, were spent remembering every little thing so that when he asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d I had something new to say. He got so skinny and he craved chocolate. One night, he wanted something specific to eat. As he was rarely hungry, we were planning on doing whatever it took to get him what he wanted. The trouble was, he couldn\u2019t say what he wanted. The only descriptor he could get out was, \u201cLike a cracker, but not a cracker.\u201d We looked through EVERY cabinet, pulling everything off the shelves to see if that\u2019s what it was. Someone finally said, \u201cCookie.\u201d He yelled, \u201cYES! COOKIE! With lots of chocolate.\u201d From that day until he was gone, there was always a package of Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chunk cookies in his immediate vicinity.\nThe week before he died, we were called to the hospital in the middle of the night because his breathing was shallow. I watched his chest go up and down all night. The next day, after school and cross county practice, we completed the new nightly ritual of going to my Dad\u2019s house to get Grammy and then going to the hospital. That night was different. Before we left, Mom talked to me in the hall. She said, \u201cHe\u2019s hanging on for you. You need to tell him that it\u2019s ok to go.\u201d The moments following in that hospital room were the most difficult moments of my life. He died the following Saturday.\nThree levels of grief accompany the life of my Dad, the death of my Dad and my life after my Dad. First kind of grief while he was sick: grief with hope. The kind of gritty determination hope that this thing would not beat my Dad because, well, he was MY Dad. A second kind of grief: my Dad was not indestructible and I would have to adjust to life without him. The third kind of grief: living life feeling like something is missing. Something is missing: my Dad. People say, \u201cIt gets easier. The pain fades. It will get better with time.\u201d I don\u2019t think any of that is true. It doesn\u2019t get easier not having my Dad to share ups and downs with. The pain does not fade. When I went to Roger Water\u2019s The Wall in Cleveland, the pain in my chest as I cried listening to, \u201cMother,\u201d was just as strong as the day I learned he was gone.\nCURRENT GRIEF\nI work, part-time, for the Ronald McDonald House in Greater Cincinnati. Working in a building that houses the embattled families of chronically ill children and sometimes the children themselves, should prepare one to experience death. It doesn\u2019t. Each time a child associated with the house dies, the manager on duty sends out e-mail to notify all staff. Until a few weeks ago, I had never been on duty when such e-mail needed to go out. There are, literally, no words to describe witnessing a parent\u2019s decimated being after having lost a child. The look a parent carries with them will haunt me forever.\nAs a Guest Services Assistant, I don\u2019t carry much \u201cofficial\u201d responsibility. I get to meet and spend time with some amazing volunteers. I\u2019m fortunate to work with and for some beautiful (inside and out) people. I schmooze with meal groups, check families in and out of the house from time to time and I drive the shuttle back and forth from the House to Children\u2019s Hospital. These are the most precious pockets of time. When a parent/relative gets in the shuttle, my favorite question is: \u201cHow are things at the hospital?\u201d I\u2019m not sure why, but families just let it all go. It may be that I have no understanding or use of flashy medical jargon or that I really don\u2019t have all that much information, and therefore no judgment, about their situation. Whatever the reason, the families seem quite able to communicate a few moments of complete and unguarded honesty. Hearing about the peaks and valleys of the little heroes fighting their daily battles will forever be precious treasures.\nOne particularly quiet evening at Ronald McDonald House would prove to hold the most precious of the aforementioned vignettes. A family had checked into the House just a few hours before. As I recall, the aunt and eight-year-old sister of the patient attended the check in. The mom was at the hospital with her daughter. They had stated she wasn\u2019t doing well. At the House, the shuttle runs every half hour on the half hour BY REQUEST. I place emphasis on that last part because I like planning and often feel not at all planned when family\u2019s idea of \u201cby request\u201d for the 8:00 p.m. shuttle is asking at 8:05 p.m. The aunt and sister came down to the front desk and requested the next shuttle. They stated their patient wasn\u2019t doing well. As they clamored into the back seat of the donated white Cadillac Escalade, I heard the sister whisper to her aunt, \u201cDo you think we\u2019re going to make it in time?\u201d It took everything I had to hold it together. \u201cIt\u2019s not your turn to cry. It\u2019s not your turn to cry.\u201d I repeated that to myself over and over. I dropped off the family and returned to the House.\nJulie, the manager on duty, and I were standing at the front desk when a mother and her boyfriend walked into the lobby. She stared at me and said, \u201cMy son\u2019s gone.\u201d She buried her face into the man\u2019s chest and almost fell to the ground. Again, \u201cIt\u2019s not your turn to cry. It\u2019s not your turn to cry.\u201d That pain from before, you know, the two inches up and two inches over? It was back. Funny how loss, even when it has a different catalyst, can manifest itself in similar ways.\nWhat seemed like moments later, the phone at the front desk rang. It was a pick up at the hospital. I left Julie to care for the sorrowful mother, as I don\u2019t think anyone else could have done. As I pulled around the circle, I recognized the woman standing just outside the sliding doors. She walked to the back passenger door, opened it, got in, shut the door and put on her seatbelt. I was frozen in the driver\u2019s seat as she tearfully looked at me through the rearview mirror. \u201cShe\u2019s gone. We made it.\u201d She began to cry in the silence. After a few moments she thanked me and said, \u201cI\u2019m ready.\u201d On the short ride back, I asked her if she needed anything from me. I can honestly say, I don\u2019t remember what happened between then and when I walked her to the car and gave the bereavement book and Ronald McDonald House nightlight every family who\u2019s lost a child while staying at the House gets. It is such a gift to be able to be there for others in their darkest moments. My coworkers at Ronald McDonald House are true pillars of strength and courage for the families staying there. It is truly a breathtaking thought.\nI\u2019ve processed this post through countless runs. How am I going to organize this? What am I going to say? Who am I going to talk about? This is going to be one of those posts that if I looked at it tomorrow, I\u2019d find a whole new level of grief to discuss. I\u2019m going to wonder why I took out that part about my Nanny. I\u2019m going to think about Maci, my first Dachshund. I\u2019m going to remember that grief doesn\u2019t just surround death and I\u2019m going to think about that one guy who broke my heart. I\u2019ll remember friends that moved away and wishes that never came true. I\u2019ll look at all that and think, \u201cThat\u2019s a lot of loss.\u201d I\u2019ll think about how fortunate I\u2019ve been to care about so much. To have never experienced this kind of grief would mean that I never really loved anything.\nGrief now, isn\u2019t about burying my head into the pillow and sobbing for days on end. Grief is about watching my October movies and listening to my October songs because of the meaning they have for me. Tom Hanks as Sam Baldwin in Sleepless in Seattle, says of recovering from the loss of his wife, \u201cWell, I\u2019m gonna get out of bed every morning: breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while, I won\u2019t have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out. And, then after a while, I won\u2019t have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.\u201d I\u2019ve heard it said, \u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as perfect.\u201d I don\u2019t agree. If reality is individual perception, then it\u2019s entirely possible for my perception of perfect to be an existence not without hardship, but survival through hardship.\nChildren, dad, Death, fall, Grandfather, grief, loss, October, peace, perfection, reality, RMH, Ronald McDonald House, sleepless in Seattle, strength, thankful, Tom Hanks\n\u2190 Why do I?\nThirty Days of Thankful(TDT): HONEST PEOPLE \u2192\nBlessed to read your words and know the real you! Your raw honesty, your compassion and your ability to truly \u201csee\u201d life inspires me. Embracing u in prayer as your continue to walk through the last two days of October!\nI read this post in the dark and in the quiet before my family woke up the morning of Hurricane Sandy. I shed a few tears for you that morning. As always, beautifully written. Thanks for sharing!",

        "raw_content": "Anderson Township, located in the southeastern corner of Hamilton County, Ohio, is one of the most heavily populated townships in the State of Ohio and has the fourth highest population total of Hamilton County\u2019s 49 political jurisdictions.\nBounded by the Little Miami and Ohio Rivers, the community is dominated by rolling, wooded topography that creates scenic vistas of the beautiful natural environment in which the Township is located.\nAnderson Township has managed to preserve many of these features, while witnessing significant population and commercial growth. Much of this activity has followed Beechmont Avenue (State Route 125), the community\u2019s major thoroughfare that connects much of Southern Ohio to Columbia Parkway (U.S. 50) and Downtown Cincinnati.\nFounded in 1793, Anderson Township was the fifth township in Hamilton County, originally bounded by the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers and extending into what is now Clermont County. The first settlement in the Township was believed to be located near the mouth of the Little Miami River as pioneers moved west from Green County, Pennsylvania. In the early 1800s, the dwellings in this area were scattered along the Little Miami River (in settlements such as Newtown) since the wooded hilltops were not conducive to settlement. As time passed, settlers concentrated near Mt. Washington and California, communities that were later annexed into the City of Cincinnati.\nGrowth in the Township as we know it today occurred in farming outposts such as Forestville, Sweetwine, Fruit Hill, and Cherry Grove. Throughout the remainder of the 1800s, large woodlots were cleared for hardwood and\nriverboat fuel. This gave way to a rise in agricultural activities in Anderson Township. During this time, a majority of the population growth in the Cincinnati region continued to be focused in the Mill Creek Valley. Thus, Anderson Township remained fairly undeveloped until the suburbanization that followed World War II. This development increase was fueled by the completion of the Beechmont Levee, and later the development of I-275 and I-471,\nwhich provided residents more direct routes to Downtown Cincinnati and other parts of the Tri-State. As a result (as reflected in the chart to the right), the population of Anderson Township grew by an average of nearly 1,000 persons per year from the mid 1950s through the early 1990s.\nEven as a smaller supply of land in recent years has slowed development, the Township continues to witness around 100 new housing starts each year, along with a steady stream of commercial developments.\nSearch Anderson Township, Ohio Homes for Sale\nToday's Market Trends for Anderson Township, Ohio *\nAnderson Township, Ohio Listings Search\nAnderson Township, Ohio New Listings (17)\nAnderson Township, Ohio Single Family Homes for Sale (135)\nAnderson Township, Ohio Condos & Townhomes for Sale (9)",

        "raw_content": "Senator GREENWOOD (Victoria) - The Opposition proposes an amendment to clause 84, namely, to leave out sub-clause ( 1 ). The sub-clause reads:\n(1 ) Where, in a proceeding under this Part in respect of any conduct engaged in by a body corporate, being conduct in relation to which a provision of Part V applies, it is necessary to establish the intention of the body corporate, it is sufficient to show that a servant or agent of the body corporate by whom the conduct was engaged in had that intention.\nMy sense as I have read the sub-clause is that the amendment would have been a consequential amendment if Part V of the legislation had been omitted. In the circumstances which I earlier indicated, there is no point in moving the amendment. It was only when I stood to read the subclause and addressed myself to it that I appreciated that.\n( 1 ) Subject to sub-section (2), in a prosecution under this Part in relation to a contravention of a provision of Part V, it is a defence if the defendant establishes-\n(a) that the contravention in respect of which the proceeding was instituted was due to a mistake, to reliance on information supplied by another person, to the act or default of another person, to an accident or to some other cause beyond his control; and\n( b ) that he took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to avoid the contravention.\n(2) If a defence provided by sub-section (1) involves an allegation that a contravention was due to reliance on information supplied by another person or to the act or default of another person, the defendant is not, without leave of the Court, entitled to rely on that defence unless he has not later than 7 days before the day on which the hearing of the proceeding commences, served on the person by whom the proceeding was instituted a notice in writing giving such information that would identify or assist in the identification of the other person as was then in his possession.\n(3) In the proceeding under this Part in relation to a contravention of a provision of Pan V committed by the publication of an advertisement, it is a defence if the defendant establishes that he is a person whose business it is to publish or arrange for the publication of advertisements and that he received the advertisement for publication in the ordinary course of business and did not know and had no reason to suspect that its publication would amount to a contravention of a provision of that Part.\n(4) In a proceeding under this Part in relation to a contravention of Part V committed by the supplying of goods that did not comply with a consumer product safety standard or in relation to which the supplier did not comply with a consumer product information standard, it is a defence if the defendant establishes-\n(a) that the goods were acquired by him for the purpose of re-supply and were so acquired from a person who carried on in Australia a business of supplying such goods otherwise than as the agent of a person outside Australia; and\n(b) that he did not know, and could not with reasonable diligence have ascertained, that the goods did not comply with that standard or that he had not complied with that standard in relation to the goods, as the case may be, or he relied in good faith on a representation by the person from whom he acquired the goods that a consumer product safety standard or a consumer product information standard, as the case may be, had not been prescribed in respect of the goods.\n(5) A person is not, without leave of the Court, entitled to rely on the defence provided by sub-section (4) unless he has, not later than 7 days before the day on which the hearing of the proceeding commences, served on the person by whom the proceeding was instituted a notice in writing identifying the person from whom he acquired the goods.",

        "raw_content": "When I saw this blog written by our dear colleague Erika at Star Meadow Counseling, I knew I had to share it! As a therapist who specializes in working with business owners and entrepreneurs, workaholics are absolutely my cup of tea. I hope you will also find this piece to be informative and worth sharing.\nEnjoy! -Emily De La Torre, LMHC\nI didn\u2019t need to use drugs because my bloodstream was manufacturing my own crystal meth.\n\u2014 WORKAHOLICS ANONYMOUS MEMBER\nWorkaholism is described by some as the \u201crespectable addiction,\u201d though its affects can be destructive and even deadly to those who are compulsively addicted to work.\nHow can you tell if you are a workaholic?\nHow do we distinguish workaholism from \u201chard work?\u201d\nIn his book, \u201cChained to the Desk,\u201d Bryan Robinson describes workaholism as \u201can obsessive-compulsive disorder that manifests itself through self-imposed demands, an inability to regulate work habits, and an over-indulgence in work to the exclusion of most other life activities.\u201d\nHow is a person diagnosed as a workaholic? Actually, workaholism is NOT a recognized mental health diagnosis in diagnostic manuals, though it might be a symptom of something bigger at play, as Dr. Robinson suggests. The urge to overwork can feel compulsive and anxiety provoking. A person with workaholism might not be able to clock-out mentally, even when they\u2019d like to. It is a brand of achievement-oriented perfectionism, mixed with some rigidity, anxiety, and preoccupied thoughts.\nThe following is a checklist from Workaholics Anonymous (WA), useful for assessing workaholism.\nDo you get more excited about your work than about family or anything else?\nAre there times when you can charge through your work and other times when you can\u2019t?\nDo you take work with you to bed? On weekends? On vacation?\nIs work the activity you like to do best and talk about most?\nDo you work more than 40 hours a week?\nDo you turn your hobbies into money-making ventures?\nDo you take complete responsibility for the outcome of your work efforts?\nHave your family or friends given up expecting you on time?\nDo you take on extra work because you are concerned that it won\u2019t otherwise get done?\nDo you underestimate how long a project will take and then rush to complete it?\nDo you believe that it is okay to work long hours if you love what you are doing?\nDo you get impatient with people who have other priorities besides work?\nAre you afraid that if you don\u2019t work hard you will lose your job or be a failure?\nIs the future a constant worry for you even when things are going very well?\nDo you do things energetically and competitively including play?\nDo you get irritated when people ask you to stop doing your work in order to do something else?\nHave your long hours hurt your family or other relationships?\nDo you think about your work while driving, falling asleep or when others are talking?\nDo you work or read during meals?\nDo you believe that more money will solve the other problems in your life?\nDid you answer \u201cyes\u201d to 3 or more questions? According to Workaholics Anonymous, a person can be considered workaholic if they answer affirmatively to three or more of the questions.\nIs work addiction really that dangerous?\nIn Japan alone, thousands people die annually from karoshi (\u201cdeath by overwork\u201d). Over-work affects people holistically. Physically, they may experience ulcers, chest pain, heart attacks, asthmatic attacks, or urges to binge eat. Psychologically, workaholism has been connected to depression, anxiety, perfectionism, stress, anger, burnout, low self-worth and low self-esteem. Socially, workaholics may be isolated from friends, family, or co-workers. In addition, their behavior can potentially lead to marital discord, divorce, or job loss. Children of workaholics are negatively affected too; research indicates that adult children of workaholics are at higher risk for depression, anxiety, and feelings of low self-worth.\nWhat happens in the workaholic brain? Work addiction alters the physiological and chemical nature of the brain. Workaholics attain an adrenaline high from binge-working. After the high, the person is left with a \u201cwork hangover,\u201d which may involve heightened anxiety, irritability, or suicidal ideation. Akin to substance use disorders, workaholics often experience cognitive distortions that complicate their adrenaline addiction.\nHow is workaholism different from hard work?\nThe big distinctions are balance and boundaries. In order to have a balanced life, a person must be engage in healthy relationships, maintain outside interests and hobbies, and demonstrate overall self-care (ex. Slowing, family time, adequate sleep, etc.). Boundaries allow a person to distinguish their work life from their home life and social life and so forth.\nThomas Merton, in his book \u201cConjectures of a Guilty Bystander\u201d described workaholism and its threat to inner peace:\nHealthyplace.com.

        "raw_content": "I made it! I\u2019m in Thailand! I\u2019m processing all of this change. I\u2019m excited, but also exhausted and feeling a bit\u2026off. I\u2019m hot. I\u2019m unsure. I\u2019m anxious. But\u2026I\u2019m here. And I\u2019m all in.\nExhaustion doesn\u2019t quite begin to cover it. By the time I get home each evening I am beyond tired. The heat is more challenging than I expected, most evenings I\u2019m laying in bed by 8:30pm. Everything is emotional here. Just existing takes all of my effort. I\u2019ve made friends who are wonderful, but new. So on top of being exhausted by the daily tasks of life, and the daily emotions of living, I\u2019m exhausted by the daily requirement to connect and form friendships. I can\u2019t remember the last time I have been so wholly consumed by the effort of making it through each day.\nI feel bashful about how much I love my site. My host family is kind and fun. My community is welcoming and full of smiles. My counterpart speaks great English and we seem to be building a great foundation for friendship. All around my site there are endless fields of rubber trees and fruit. It may take 15km to bike one way to civilization, but for now, something about that seems romantic. Maybe it\u2019s just the honeymoon period. Maybe this will wear off. But for now I\u2019m going to bask in it. I\u2019m going to squeeze as much joy out of these days as I possibly can.\nThe power has been out for most of the day. I took the hour bike ride to 7/11 and the coffee shop where I had 15 minutes of internet before they lost power too. I biked home in the pouring rain. I dried off, sat on my bed, in the stillness of my powerless house and laughed. It\u2019s my daily routine now to have no routine. I now expect that the plan in my head will not be my reality. Mostly I\u2019m content with that. Mostly.\nThe moment I got through my front door today after school I started crying. I wish I could pinpoint the why\u2026but I can\u2019t. Maybe it\u2019s the feeling of constantly second guessing my word choice, inflection, and gestures. Maybe it\u2019s because I haven\u2019t had a chance to bike, or run, or play volleyball. Maybe it\u2019s because I miss the freedom of being able to go and do and see whenever I want. Maybe it\u2019s pent up frustration from not understanding 90% of what the people around me are saying. Maybe I don\u2019t need to pinpoint the why. Maybe it\u2019s better to just let the tears out, sleep, and start over with a clean slate tomorrow.\nI haven\u2019t lived full time in America since Obama was president. Since One Direction was still together. Since Maya Angelou, David Bowie, Carrie Fisher, Alan Rickman, and Gene Wilder were alive. Since the iPhone had a headphone jack. Since Amazon was online only and not a storefront. Since Uber was only used for rides and not food. I haven\u2019t lived and breathed and existed in America for over three years. The thought of returning to America full time is now more terrifying to me than starting over in a foreign country. I am now more fearful of \u201chome\u201d than I am of the world, and I wonder how much of that is our current president\u2019s fault. Or maybe that\u2019s the whole point of traveling \u2013 once you see so much of the world, you begin to realize that the world isn\u2019t scary after all. It\u2019s unique and interesting and every bit worth seeing. Sometimes the amount that I love being abroad scares me, how long can you be away before you can\u2019t go home again? How long before you give up on trying to figure out what \u2018home\u2019 even means?\nSchool break was amazing. Two weeks of rest and friends and exploring. Two PC friends came to visit my site and then I went to Siem Reap, Cambodia on an amazing trip. I can\u2019t remember the last time I went on a trip that was so stress-free and rejuvenating. Surely a combination of good company and amazing scenery. I\u2019m tired and in major need of introvert time, but I can\u2019t imagine a better break and I feel ready to jump back into school for second semester.\nSometimes I wonder if I\u2019ll regret it. If I\u2019ll wish I\u2019d picked a more conventional path. Maybe I should have taken that consulting job in DC right out of college. Maybe I should have stayed in the States for grad school. Maybe I shouldn\u2019t have joined the Peace Corps. Maybe I\u2019ll regret all of the birthdays, engagements, weddings, and babies I\u2019m missing out on being present for. Maybe I\u2019ll wish I had this time back. Maybe I\u2019ll wish for a do-over. Maybe I\u2019ll wish I had stayed in closer proximity to the people I love and care about. Then again\u2026maybe I won\u2019t.\nWhen I read back through my old journal entries, my heart swells with gratitude. For the amazing experiences of year one in Thailand, and also for the hardships. For the new friendships, and for the refining of old ones. For the opportunity to be here and to live this one wild and crazy life. It\u2019s such an honor. And that sounds so corny. So trite. So clich\u00e9. But right now it\u2019s my truth, and I\u2019m going to tell it. If I learned one thing in year one here, it\u2019s that even if I\u2019m making no sense and a room full of Thai students are looking at me like I\u2019m a nutcase\u2026being me is all I\u2019m ever going to get to be, so I will try my best to enjoy it. Everyone is out here just trying to do the best they can. And that is enough. I am enough.\nExactly one year ago today I had been at site for 4 days. I was in the honeymoon period. Completely enraptured by all things new. I think back on that time with a smile and gratitude that I now feel more comfortable here. I frequently talk with my friends about how weird time is. How it flies, then it drags. How it seems to ebb and flow, without paying attention to how I would prefer it to behave. Time, like life, is so fleeting. I can\u2019t help but get a little in my feelings these days. For 14 months I\u2019ve been \u201ccounting up\u201d. Marking time by it\u2019s entry point. I arrived in Thailand and have been here one day\u2026one month\u2026six months\u2026one year\u2026 From here on out, it\u2019s easier to count down. To mark my time in Thailand by it\u2019s inevitable termination. I have one year left at site\u2026six months left\u2026one month left. The psychological shift in the marking of time feels significant somehow. As if having \u201cx\u201d amount of time left means I have \u201cx\u201d amount of time to do something with it.\nRecently I was talking with a dear friend who asked what I love most about living abroad. I said I love that it\u2019s never boring. Most of the time, I love that each day could hold something unexpected, because I never have to worry about becoming bored or complacent. I\u2019d like to amend that response now. I\u2019d like to tell her that what I love most about living abroad is that it forces growth and change. So yes, I love the unpredictability of each day, but even more I love that each challenge (and there have been many) that I\u2019ve faced so far in this journey is one I can look back on with gratitude because it taught me something about myself or the world around me. It forced me to acknowledge and accept both the good and the bad in myself and the world.\nSo here\u2019s to the finish line, however near it or far it may be from this moment right now. Here\u2019s to using the time we\u2019re given the best we can.\nTagged as: 129, Celete Kato, Journal, PCV, peace corps, peace corps thailand, TCCS, thailand\nMichael\u2019s Site Through Chandler\u2019s Eyes",

        "title": "Iraq \u2014 and Everything Else \u2013 The Peace House Oklahoma City",
        "raw_content": "October 15, 2005 June 19, 2011 by Nathaniel Batchelder\nA peace activist\u2019s manifesto\nNathaniel Batchelder, 10/15/2005\nSocial Justice Forum \u2014 Norman, Oklahoma\nThe author has worked at a peace center in Oklahoma City 18 years. He is a Vietnam veteran and active member of Church of the Open Arms, UCC.\nThis is about Iraq \u2014 but it is more about the soul of America and the possibilities for humanity. As bad as the Iraq War is, I believe it is a last gasp of those with an obsolete view of the world. What is called for is not simply to end a bad war, but to completely transform the vision and spirituality of our nation into alignment with a future that serves humanity\u2019s real needs: physically, mentally, intellectually, and spiritually.\nThe Neoconservatives currently misruling the White House and controlling Congress are, of course, the polar opposite of the leadership which a transformed vision of humanity calls for. Indeed, they are simply the culmination of 30 to 40 years of politics reflecting NOT the common good and general welfare of Americans and the rest of humanity who are our neighbors on earth \u2014 but rather the interests of profit-making by an elite minority invested in transnational corporations. Their agenda is a single-minded drive to deregulate finance, business and industry so that corporations may enjoy the cheapest possible labor and operate with the fewest possible environmental regulations, the fewest possible worker protections, the least possible financial oversight, and the lowest possible taxation or return investment into society.\nThis savage view of the world is terribly short-sighted because it is not sustainable economically or environmentally, and is clearly not aligned with the needs of the great majority of people or humanity\u2019s future.\nIt is a vision grounded in selfishness like that of an addict or an alcoholic who is just unable to consider the long-term consequences of their actions. They herald as praiseworthy the most base and selfish impulses of financial gain and disregard for everything else.\nA brief review of the state of things \u2014 taking of stock of where we are \u2014 is troubling and even frightening, but we can never reach the best without taking a full look at the worst. Cancer must be diagnosed before it can be cured. The solutions I will then propose will, I hope, be both hope-giving and inspiring to us as human and spiritual beings \u2014 because the solutions are not only politically necessary for our nation\u2019s and the world\u2019s economic stability and survival, they are actions and politics reflecting and expressing humanity\u2019s important spiritual motivations as emotional and sentient beings in community with one another, to express and live out our possibilities for life in harmony with Nature and all others on earth.\nThe War in Iraq \u2014 planned and waged by people in government, but even more by those who pull their strings from international financial institutions and board rooms of transnational corporations \u2014 is very simply about global dominion by a super-power willing to smash anything in its path to gain control over the resources needed to fuel its addictions: in this case the region of the world where petroleum is found.\nThe lies and disinformation broadcast to sell the war before it started \u2014 that Iraq had or was building nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction, and that Iraq was a hotbed of terrorism with links to Al Quaeda and the 9/11 terrorist attack, have all proven false. The Downing Street Memos from the highest levels of British intelligence reveal that the administration was fabricating evidence to gain the support of a manipulated American People and United Nations for war.\nThe projections of the administration that the war would be a cake-walk because American forces would be welcomed as liberators also proved false \u2014 and was either the grossest miscalculation by the war-planners, duped by their own deceptions, or was just more of the most cynical and deceitful propaganda put out to manipulate the American People into supporting war.\nOn a wall of names of the almost 2000 Americans killed since this war began, which was displayed at the recent ANTI-WAR FAIR in Oklahoma City on September 24th, there were 12 columns of names with about 160 names in each column.\nSome two-thirds of the way down the FIRST COLUMN of names is the note that, at that point, President Bush announced \u201cMission Accomplished\u201d from that aircraft carrier. More than 90% of the dead were killed after Bush proclaimed victory and that the fighting was over.\nWorse, reports of people closer to the fighting and killing reveal their suspicion that numbers of Americans killed may be much higher, masked by technical mathematics \u2026 that the wounded evacuated to Germany and elsewhere who die later may not be listed as killed in Iraq \u2026 or that individuals killed in non-hostile events may not be listed as War casualties.\nIn any case, we veterans of the Vietnam War know that there are already \u2014 and will be more \u2014 tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands whose wounded bodies, minds, and spirits will result in lives knocked off the tracks into alcoholism, drug addiction, mental illness, depression and rage, resulting in domestic violence, social incompetence, and personal dependence on decades or lifetimes of counseling and support to struggle back into productive and satisfying lives.\nThis war was not engineered by people who served in combat themselves, or who have any personal insights into the grave social costs of war. The vast majority of those planning and executing this war were born to elite families whose sons and daughters rarely serve in combat, but avoid military service entirely. The privileged sons and daughters of their families avoid the grime of military service in favor of college and life in the Country Club set who perceive themselves above the class giving military service when their nation goes to war.\nAnd, in this war, untold tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed by military sweeps of cities like Fallujah where planners ordered a \u201cscorched earth\u201d policy to destroy pockets of what may have been support or sympathy for an insurgency which reflects the natural inclination of any people to throw out an occupying military force.\nPlanners of this war totally ignored the political, social, and religious complexities of Iraq and its factions of Baathists, Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds, and others which had been held in a tension of civility by the oppressive Saddam Hussein government. Today, some of these opposing forces seem on the surface aligned as working for development of a new government \u2014 a hopeful possibility \u2014 but underneath is the other reality about which so many express apprehension: that these factions are temporarily aligned around the desire to cast out the foreign military which they view as occupying Iraq, but may well devolve into civil war as soon as the American military leaves.\nThe United States is losing its soul in more ways in Iraq, by stooping to mass imprisonment and interrogation of thousands of Iraqis in a desperate quest to smash the insurgency, sinking to degrading torture and humiliation to gain knowledge of who and how the insurgency is organized and carried out. More than a year ago, we read about national leaders considering a \u201cSalvador Option\u201d for Iraq \u2014 in short, the implementation of techniques utilized or tolerated during the decade of the 1980s in El Salvador to smash the insurgent revolution there through mass killings, scorched earth policies, torture houses and death squads to identify and assassinate those who sympathized with or supported the revolution.\nIn this caldron of tensions, violence, and degradation, what is the \u2018Right Course\u2019 for America?\nWhat we must call for with one voice is to end the war now and bring the troops home. This is not a criticism of America\u2019s military forces, but rather an admission of bad decisions by the government which sent them to war in the first place. The growing insurgency and political dissolution in Iraq require that the United States agree to turn the situation over to some body of nations willing to take over the crying needs in Iraq for security, to supply a police force to maintain some kind of order while a new government forms and US forces are withdrawn.\nMany people, and certainly I, believe that the continuing US presence in Iraq is the very lightning rod energizing the insurgency, and that American forces must be removed before peace can be achieved. The US is an unwelcome military presence in Iraq and the Middle East \u2014 and about this I believe the entire Middle East and Moslem world are in agreement. This is not Central America \u2014 what the United States considers \u201cour back yard\u201d where military control and economic policies from Washington, DC, can be implemented and reasonably controlled.\nThe Middle East is too far away, too large and too foreign to us in language, culture and religion for the United States to control as the planners of this War dreamed was possible. The War in Iraq is a train wreck based on false assumptions, false hopes, incompetent planning, and arrogant reliance upon US military force. It is the culmination of decades of self-serving national policies which placed so-called \u201cUS interests\u201d above all other human and civil considerations.\nSo we must end the war, and we know that. But more, we must be about the transformation of American society back into the kind of society which our parents or grandparents remember after World War II.\nThat was a time in which Americans really believed that our nation had helped to defeat evil in the world, and had helped bring about the possibility for expansion of democracy, human rights, and global human development which could reach into every corner of the world where poverty, ignorance, disease, and political oppression caused suffering.\nThe great social programs of the Franklin Roosevelt era caused an explosion in this country of repair and development of America\u2019s infrastructure serving human need: \u2026. railroads, highways, schools, public buildings, libraries, civic centers and concert halls including Oklahoma City\u2019s Civic Center, built by WPA in 1936. Social Security for the first time extended a guarantee of dignity to retired older people. Huge development projects extended electrification, safe water and sanitation to virtually every community in the country. Our postal service was the finest in the world. Telephones brought communication to virtually every home. It was a time of unbridled expansion of prosperity for average working families, and missionary zeal that the American Way was indeed the hope for the world.\nBut, incrementally, especially in the last 30 years, beginning with the so-called Reagan Revolution, virtually all of that has been compromised by growing mountains of legislation which have slowly but surely chipped away at that commitment to the Common Good and the General Welfare.\nThe litany of tax cuts to America\u2019s wealthy citizens and corporations \u2014 sold as investments in economic vitality \u2014 have simply resulted in the expansion of the unimaginable wealth of a few at the expense of public and social services benefiting America\u2019s working and poor families.\nThe passage of all the so-called \u201cGlobal Free Trade Treaties\u201d facilitated the exodus from America of tens of millions of jobs providing wages and benefits regulated to ensure worker safety, job stability, health care and retirement guarantees.\nMillions of jobs were exported \u2014 and are still leaving \u2014 going to the farthest reaches of the world where women and children work for two dollars a day and less, with no protections from dangerous working conditions, chemical and environmental hazards, no health benefits, no retirement guarantees, virtually no protections at all.\nThis has been a profit bonanza for transnational corporations able to reduce labor costs to virtually nothing, and to operate without environmental and other regulations achieved in the US through decades of social struggle by and for the American people.\nFor hundreds of millions of Americans, this has brought economic insecurity, lower wages, and an environment where corporations like Walmart can pay the lowest wages and employ workers with so few benefits that many of their workers remain in poverty, needing social services, Food Stamps and Food Pantries to get through the month.\nMeanwhile, the numbers of billionaires in America, according to Forbes Magazine which tracks such things, has grown from some 17 in 1983 to more than 300 today. America\u2019s growing disparity of wealth between rich and poor is already the greatest of any other nation. We are a nation of expanding wealth among the elite, and expanding numbers of families in poverty, whose desperate circumstances exist in \u201cPockets of Poverty\u201d exposed by the recent hurricane which flooded New Orleans. Hundreds of thousands simply had no means to evacuate the city, and were left when the hurricane arrived, not \u201chigh and dry\u201d but flooded, ignored, and uncared for by a government which has simply turned its back on the needs and plight of its most vulnerable citizens.\nAnd \u2014 if you follow environmental matters \u2014 you have watched and resisted to the best of your ability the alarming reversals and compromise of America\u2019s environmental regulations protecting our air, waters, and land from the degradation of corporate exploitation. When regulations are removed or non-existent, competition of corporations inevitably reduces standards of behavior to the lowest common denominator. Bill McKibben\u2019s book \u201cThe End of Nature\u201d first published in 1990, is one of hundreds outlining ways in which the human use and misuse of natural resources, spaces and Nature itself are degrading the very environmental systems which support life. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.\u2019s book published in time to be read before the 2004 elections: \u201cCrimes Against Nature\u201d outlines more than 400 reversals and compromises of environmental regulations just during the four years of the Bush administration since 2000.\nThese and more reveal the extent to which the US government is handing over responsibility for clean air, safe water, and productive land to the very corporations willing to degrade them all for short-term profit. Ultimately \u2014 as I have said \u2014 these short-sighted and exploitative policies are unsustainable.\nThe world outside the United States understands that human and corporate activity are changing the climate and weather around the world. Environmental and public health experts predict negative health effects upon populations from deregulating industries which pollute the environment.\nEven more ironic, such policies are not even financially sustainable. How can an economy continue which enriches only those at the top while impoverishing virtually everyone else. As wages and disposable incomes of 80% of Americans stagnate or decline, purchases of the very fruits of capitalist production also decline, with the ultimate result being something like the collapse of the 1930s \u2014 the Great Depression \u2014 brought about when America\u2019s warehouses were full but people were too poor to buy.\nTo you and me \u2014 and the vast majority of Americans \u2014 such an economic collapse looks bleak: a time when bankruptcies and foreclosures result in millions losing homes, farms, and businesses.\nBut, frankly, and quite cynically, such a collapse is a windfall bonanza for the rich, who can then buy houses, real estate, and businesses at a national tag sale for ten cents on the dollar. There are financial wizards lurking on the top rungs of America\u2019s economic ladder who see the looming economic collapse which a 30-year spree of profit-taking may well bring about, and they don\u2019t see it as all bad.\nAs the wizened economist says in ads for a leading investment corporation, \u201cWhen the economy goes up, our clients make money; when the economy goes down, our clients make money.\u201d\nAs a nation whose government professes to hold as a top priority the Common Good and General Welfare of all its citizens, America has truly lost its way.\nAs individuals, it may seem as though our impact is too small to make much difference, but it is high time that all of us lived as though all of our choices do make a difference, because they do: socially, economically, spiritually, environmentally, and politically.\nWin, lose, or draw in this great effort to humanize and civilize our nation and the world, we will always feel better about our own lives if we made a best effort.\nFirst, we must live personally as though all our choices make a difference, because they do. Many of you are already doing this: living more simply, reducing your environmental impact, driving more fuel-efficient vehicles, living communally, buying food from Coops supporting sustainable food production, becoming vegetarians.\nAn internet search for \u201cEcological Footprint\u201d reveals websites providing information about lifestyle choices which really make a difference in reducing our environmental impact on earth.\nMany of you already monitor your purchases to avoid corporations with the least socially responsible policies \u2014 Walmart being one of the worst \u2014 and endeavoring to support companies whose policies are labor friendly and environmentally sustainable. Numerous websites guide consumers to socially responsible purchasing. Such information must be shared widely.\nMore than ever now we must nurture and encourage our immediate communities of friends and family to support one another in better choices, wiser purchases, shared resources, and communal consciousness of the ways we live which affect the natural world near and far, and which affect workers and families in this country and around the world. This spiritual connection, one to another, I believe is key to our personal and social health and energy for living in ways that contribute to the Common Good and General Welfare of all people and Nature. It is really taking the first steps toward changing what we do as a part of changing the world.\nThen, as we are cleaning up our act at the personal level, we are liberated to more cleanly seek change in the larger world around us.\nWe can become effective advocates of social change and political change at all levels \u2014 local, state, national, and global \u2014 as we study and learn how this is effectively done. I stress the crucial value of NOT isolating oneself, but in working with and through communities of like-minded citizens supporting one another in small gatherings that are joyful and loving, but also politically astute and realistic about what it takes to implement small and large changes in society.\nIf we would build a world where love for humanity and Nature are paramount, where compassion for society\u2019s most vulnerable citizens is a shared common value, where the elderly and mentally ill and families in poverty find access to resources lifting them above the status of discarded garbage into a world where the common concern of all extends the hand up they need \u2014 then our lives, our spirits, and our manners must reflect that love and possibility in all our interactions and choices.\nIn short, we must demonstrate, as have all the prophets, that love CAN conquer all. The human potential for compassion and service are deeply rooted in us all, and can \u2014 if we WILL it to happen \u2014 come to infuse all our political and economic systems with that same spirit.\nDifficult as it often feels, this means that we must work as effectively as we can with those who currently hold the seats of power in government \u2026 even as we empower ourselves and others to become involved in the political arena where candidates run for office, and candidates get elected to public office.\nIt is ultimately up to us, individually and collectively, to bring to the political and economic arenas the love and compassion for humanity and Nature which fuels our hope and vision for the world.\nAnd \u2014 even more difficult \u2014 we must do this reflecting the very love, compassion and hopes which underlie all our lives and which inspire our spirits to seek a better world. I don\u2019t believe we can ultimately change the world for the better through energy based primarily upon our anger, resentments, hostilities, and rage.\nOf course these are present in everyone working for justice and for leadership better than the current self-serving and short-sighted zealots. Anger at violence, greed and savagery proves that you are still alive and fighting for something better. Anger about what is simply wrong proves your love of a higher vision.\nBut, in contending against wrong we must struggle not to become wrongly contentious ourselves. For when we do, we simply slide into oppositional contests which gentle people usually lose anyway. And we compromise our better spirits which seek to implement policies of compassion and love for humanity and Nature. Operating out of angry contention may seem cathartic in the moment, and it may even seem politically advantageous during one election cycle, but it is not truly sustaining, for it taps into the same roots of aggression and contention which our better natures seek to overcome and to dissolve. It saps the good energy we feel when grounded in joy and loving spirit. We should not give our opponents this victory over us.\nI have found it true that, to be really effective, our campaigns and our lives must also be joyful, happy and creative. As we go about our work for change, we must celebrate all the things in the world which are beautiful and worthy of exalting, like glorious days, family picnics, and outings in Nature. We must celebrate living things and obscure species which share the earth with humanity and contribute to the beauty of Nature.\nWe must celebrate and participate in music, art, poetry, sculpture, dramatics, weaving, carving, pottery, tapestries, quilts, gardening and every other form of human creativity which lift human life above mere survival into something which exalts the human potential.\nWe must celebrate and love our own sexual natures and the sexual natures of others as expressions of the free gift to humanity and the good energy for loving and pleasure which sexuality is meant to be. Have you noticed how the authoritarian powers of both the political-right and the religious-right, which usually support the systems of human greed, exploitation, conquest, aggression and war, generally reflect no appreciation for art, creativity, personal expression, sexual love and the personal freedom of being fully alive to Nature and the world?\nNo \u2014 they are afraid of such free expression of creativity, energy, love and sexuality. Their dysfunctional twisted maladjusted souls want you to compromise yourselves too: to become as self-serving and materially acquisitive and unconcerned about the future and humanity as they are.\nIn every moment we are alive, we can say \u201cYES\u201d to life and personal freedom, and \u201cNO\u201d to the death-dealing politics of personal selfishness, military aggression and fundamentalist religiosity which would crush the human spirit and make a world where a few live in obscene excessive consumption while the rest live less-than-human existences.\nThis is our choice: Will we say \u201cYes\u201d to life and all its possibilities for humanity to live in harmony with our natural surroundings and one another? Or will we compromise our better natures and just \u201cgo along to get along,\u201d living half alive as bystanders, tolerating systems that exploit people and Nature, because we have given up on the possibility that our lives can make a difference?\nIt is not given to us to know at the outset whether we shall \u201cwin\u201d or \u201close\u201d in this great struggle for everything on earth which has meaning. But I say at the outset that from my perspective, my own life has more meaning and more satisfactions when I find expression of my love for the world and my hopes for humanity\u2019s possibilities through daily actions in the social and political arenas where great decisions are made.\nThey would like us to give up, but we will not.\nThey would like us to descend into cynical and angry oppositional tactics, proving that we are just like them, but we will not.\nThey would like to reshape us in their image, into people whose desperate pathetic lives are defined by material possessions and wealth, but we will not.\nThey would like us to go away, move to a different country, silence our calls for social change and environmental sustainability, but we will not. They would like to contain and constrain our spirits and have us become automatons serving the systems they support, and become people disconnected from our own creativity and loving and sexual natures, but we will not. Look around you and recognize that we are the ones we have been waiting for. There is no one else but us. There is no one else but you. This is the time. Now is the moment.\nLet all of us henceforth live our lives as though every breath we take and every move we make can be our contribution to a better world, living harmoniously with Nature, other species, other nations, cultures and religions, building a world where the needs of every working family, mother and child, becomes a high priority of societies and governments the world around.\nLet us live life as though our lives matter, because they do\nCategories ViewpointsTags iraq war\tPost navigation",

        "raw_content": "Member Profile: Community Water Center\nCWC is a community-based, environmental justice organization based in the San Joaquin Valley, whose goal is to ensure that California\u2019s most vulnerable communities have access to safe, clean and affordable drinking water. We believe that clean water is a human right, and safe, clean and affordable water can and must be a reality for all communities. The Center employs three primary strategies in order to accomplish our goals:\n1) educate, organize and provide legal and technical assistance to low-income, communities of color facing local water challenges;\n2) advocate for systemic change to address the root causes of unsafe drinking water; and\n3) serve as a resource for information and expertise on community water challenges.\nThe Community Water Center provides direct organizing, education and legal assistance to low-income, predominantly Latino communities in order to help them address immediate drinking water challenges. Here are some of the community-led water efforts that CWC has supported:\nAlpaugh:\nAs a result of the efforts of the Committee for a Better Alpaugh, the community received $4 million in state and federal grants to upgrade their water system after finding high levels of arsenic in their wells.\nCutler-Orosi:\nThe community group Vecinos Unidos not only forced the rescission of an unconstitutional ordinance discriminating against extended families \u2013 with literally 200 residents participating at local water board meetings and press conferences \u2013 but have pushed for language access policies that allow the mostly Spanish-speaking community to effectively participate in board meetings.\nDucor:\nThe community group Si Se Puede en Ducor forced their water board to clean up residential water that was black and smelled like sewage.\nEast Orosi:\nThe community group Vecinos Unidos forced the East Orosi Community Services District to hold public meetings for the first time in over a year and apply for half a million dollars in grants to reduce illegal nitrate levels and secure safe water.\nMonson:\nResidents in Monson have come together to address the high levels of nitrates in their private wells.\nPlainview:\nConcerned residents took over the Plainview Mutual Water Company and helped secure $2.3 million for a new well and distribution system.\nAfter almost 6 months of negotiations, Seville residents successfully convinced the County of Tulare to temporarily take over their water system and apply for over $1 million in grants to upgrade the distribution system and secure a new safe source.\nTonyville:\nAfter nearly a decade of receiving nitrate-contaminated water three months out of the year, Tonyville families created the grassroots group, La Voz de Tonyville, and convinced the state to issue a compliance order requiring the water provider to deliver potable water year-round.\nTooleville:\nThe community-based, Tooleville Mutual Nonprofit Water Association secured emergency funding to fix a broken well during the sweltering summer heat and secured funding to develop a permanent safe source.\nWest Goshen:\nResidents resurrected the West Goshen Mutual Water Company, secured funding to fix a broken well, and brought the system back from near-bankruptcy.\nSince 2006, CWC has built community power to develop community-driven water solutions and address the root causes of unsafe drinking water. Over the past five years, CWC has trained over 500 residents from at least 33 communities in the San Joaquin Valley to address specific drinking water challenges locally and to advocate for clean and affordable drinking water for the San Joaquin Valley region. CWC coordinates monthly meetings of the AGUA coalition, which includes representatives from 17 local communities and youth, as well as a number of partner nonprofits, focused on securing safe and affordable drinking water. Our public education efforts have reached tens of thousands of people through hundreds of media stories, various workshops, tours, presentations, meetings, and other types of public education and outreach events.\nDuring the past several years, CWC has also developed and disseminated comprehensive information on the drinking water contamination problem in the San Joaquin Valley, and continues to serve as a resource for communities and policymakers alike, who seek information on the problem as well as the potential solutions. In January 2009, CWC published the Guide to Community Drinking Water Advocacy, available for free at our website in both English and Spanish. The Guide is a comprehensive community education and training tool that contains information on topics including water quality, water supply, applicable water laws and regulations. It also contains stories of communities that have organized to address various types of drinking water challenges, as well as handouts, fact sheets, templates, and other tools community residents can use to work in their own communities. Since its publication, over 250 copies of the Guide have been distributed, serving as an invaluable tool to organize, educate and train impacted residents, local water boards, the media, and even policy-makers about the severity and extent of the drinking water contamination crisis in the San Joaquin Valley, and on potential solutions to the problem. CWC has also recently published a white paper on the health impacts of nitrate-contaminated groundwater titled Water & Health in the Valley: Nitrate Contamination of Drinking Water and the Health of San Joaquin Valley Residents, as well as co-authored a report on the Human Costs of Nitrate Contamination with the Pacific Institute, Clean Water Fund and California Rural Legal Assistance Foundation.\nCommunity Water Center works to ensure that disadvantaged communities in California\u2019s San Joaquin Valley have access to safe and affordable water. CWC was originally started in 2004 as the Rural Poverty Water Project at the Delano office of the Center on Race, Poverty, and the Environment (CRPE). Under the auspices of CRPE, this team successfully helped many individual communities in the southern San Joaquin Valley obtain safe, clean, and affordable water. Over time, it became clear that dozens, possibly hundreds, of communities in the region face similar drinking water issues. In September 2006, the Rural Poverty Water Project spun off from CRPE to form the Community Water Center, and established its office in Visalia, CA. As an independent entity, CWC is able to focus entirely on fostering strategic grassroots capacity to address water challenges in small, rural, low-income communities and communities of color. The Center\u2019s target population includes rural, low-income communities and communities of color in the SJV. This includes unincorporated communities located in all eight counties of the SJV, with a greater focus in the southern valley, including Tulare, Kern, Kings and Fresno counties. The Center reaches its constituency by organizing and working directly in impacted communities through local workshops, trainings, and at meetings of the regional coalition, AGUA and Youth for AGUA, and through Spanish language media outlets.\nwww.communitywatercenter.org\nArvin Union School District POU filter installation\nUnited States | California | communities in Tulare, Fresno, Kings and Kern Counties\nSeville Community Water Vending Machine\nUnited States | California | Seville",

        "raw_content": "Well, here we are. It\u2019s the beginning of another New Year. We can all look back on the year 2018 and remember the good and the bad. Today, if you\u2019re one who is looking back and remembering all of your regrets \u2014 shoulda, coulda woulda\u2013STOP.\nStop right there and don\u2019t allow yourself to ruin one more second of your life. Proverbs 16:24 says, \u201cGracious words are honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.\u201d I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019ll take honey any day over something sour and bitter.\n\u201cGracious words are honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.\u201d Proverbs 16:24\nYou see, the year is just beginning. I can recall someone recently sharing with a child a very important word. He told her that she had a choice in what she would choose to do. \u201cYou have the choice to be positive or negative. You have the choice,\u201d he said, \u201cto choose how you will allow a situation to affect you.\u201d\nHis words have continued to stew in my mind for the last few weeks. But you know what, he\u2019s right.\nIt\u2019s the same with our words. Our words are weapons and again they can be sweet like honey to heal the soul\nor they can be bitter like vinegar and destroy and ferment everything and everyone around us.\nSo, why not choose to remember the good of the past year? Why not choose to go into the New Year, 2019. expecting the good things of God for you. Expect God\u2019s best. He is your heavenly Father and what father does not want the best for his children.? I love in the book of Matthew where Jesus is sharing with us Who God really is and how He desires to give us his best. He compares Him to an earthly father and how he wants to give good gifts to his children, but how much more God wants to give to us when we ask.\n(\u201cAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. \u201cWhich of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!) Matthew 7 7-11\nSo, it\u2019s day one. January 1st, the slate is clean.\nRemember you have a choice in how you live out every day. Let your words as Proverbs says, be like honey. Enjoy the sweetness of the honeycomb and all it has to offer. Allow this to be your best year yet. Stay positive and don\u2019t allow the enemy to rob you of even one day for the very best of what God has in store for you.\nIn closing, I\u2019d like to wish you a Very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year. Remember, head into this new year on a positive note. Allow your Heavenly Father bless you in 2019 in ways like you never imagined possible!\nBlessings you,\nThanks for stopping by \u2026\nHey, and if you\u2019d like to receive more of these blogs in your mailbox, just click the link on the right, drop me your e-mail and your all set to go! Thanks again\u2026 Del\n2 thoughts on \u201cWipe The Slate Clean\u201d\nOh, Elaine.. so good to hear from you. So glad to be able to give encouragement and thanks for the encouragement to keep on writing.. God is so good! Happy New Year to you!\nDear Del, thank you for your inspiring words. I was getting caught in regrets today over what happened yesterday and in days past. Your words lifted my spirits-especially these: \u201cAllow this to be your best year yet. Stay positive and don\u2019t allow the enemy to rob you of even one day for the very best of what God has in store for you.\u201d\n\u2190 Deep to Deep\nContinue On\u2026 \u2192",

Fifty years ago to the day Yuri Gagarin became the first person to see the Earth from space. To mark this extraordinary anniversary, I\u2019m proud to be involved in a project devised by my friend Christopher Riley.\nIn a unique collaboration with the European Space Agency, and the Expedition 26/27 crew of the International Space Station, we have created a new film of what Gagarin first witnessed fifty years ago.\nBy matching the orbital path of the Space Station, as closely as possible, to that of Gagarin\u2019s Vostok 1 spaceship and filming the same vistas of the Earth through the new giant cupola window, astronaut Paolo Nespoli, and documentary film maker Christopher Riley, have captured a new digital high definition view of the Earth below, half a century after Gagarin first witnessed it.\nWe have partnered with YouTube to share First Orbit with the World in a special global streaming event on the 12th April. The Yuri\u2019s Night network will also be showing the film at over 120 parties around the world that day. If you would like to watch it at one of these events then please contact the organizers directly through the Yuri\u2019s Night clickable party map.\nThe music in the film is all composed by me and comes from my album Cloud Songs.\n\u201cWe\u2019d been working with some of these tracks on another project\u201d says Chris, \u201cand we suddenly realised how perfectly they could compliment \u2018First Orbit\u2019 as well. We contacted Philip to ask his permission to use them, only to find that his entire Cloud Song album was already in orbit onboard the International Space Station!\u201d\nNASA astronaut Cady Coleman, had them on her iPod\u2026 Her husband, Josh Simpson is a friend of mine and they\u2019d listened to a lot of my music together before she left, so I made up a playlist for her. Quite by coincidence Cady had been listening to the music in \u2018First Orbit\u2019 at one end of the Space Station whilst European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli was shooting for the film at the other end, without either of them knowing the connection!\nIf you want to see the film, it\u2019s going to be a completely free download.\n0 comments on \u201cFirst Orbit \u2013 Yuri\u2019s Night\u201d\nDaniel Downes on April 12th, 2011 - 10:18am\nDear Phillip, you are an emotive and musical geniouse, being a man who loves space and is studying astronomy, this music fits so well to the lauch that it actually made me emotional watching one of the greastest historical events that has happened in recent times.\nBest of wishes to you",

Johnston and Carson-Banister were elected co-captains by their teammates after the 2014 campaign while Donnelly and Wozniak were recently chosen as leaders by the coaching staff.\n\u201cI\u2019m proud to announce Christian, Patrick, Ryan and Greg as this year\u2019s captains,\u201d Polley said. \u201cAfter last year, Ryan and Christian were elected by the team and have been exemplary leaders both on and off the field ever since. Following a successful fall season, The coaching staff felt that two more Terriers were up to the task and added two student-athletes in Patrick and Greg that have shown exceptional dedication to the team since the program\u2019s beginning. All four bring a great work-ethic and passion to the field and will do a great job as role models this season.\u201d\nEach player was instrumental in the success of the Terriers\u2019 inaugural season.

        "raw_content": "A Personal note from Ernst Zundel\u2019s wife\nBy Dr. Ingrid R. Zundel on August 17, 2017\nIn Memoriam \u2013 \u201cThere has Passed a Radiance from this Earth\u201d\nTo our friends around the world \u2013\nToday I have very sad words to convey. A little more than a week ago, Ernst left us forever due to what seems to have been a deadly heart attack while he was getting ready to visit a close friend in Switzerland.\nI had no premonitions, and I am still in shock. It was so unexpected. I had just put the final touches on our little Mexican home that was to be our \u201cinterim solution\u201d \u2013 not our final solution! I was flying home to Tennessee on Saturday, August 5 and must have been in the air over Charlotte, North Carolina, when Ernst passed away.\nI am not fond of flying, especially of landing, which a pilot friend of mine had once described to me as a \u201ccontrolled crash.\u201d I always get tense when we land. But Ernst was different \u2013 he loved to be in the air in a magnificent flying machine. In the 23 years we have known and loved each other, 17 of them as a married couple, we were never away from each other in thoughts.\n\u201cI am with you in spirit,\u201d Ernst always used to say. So was I. I was thinking of him as we prepared to land, cutting through the snow-white clouds, and a memory came to me how Ernst and I had visited in May of 2010 for the first time in Costa Rica after his release from prison. At that time, he said to me: \u201cI love to fly! I feel like a god looking down on the earth, in awe of all of earth\u2019s beauty!\u201d\nIs that what Ernst does now \u2013 looking down on us from wherever his spirit now dwells? That thought, as esoteric as it is, gives me a shimmer of some comfort.\nI will have more to say in my regular letter in September. For reasons we all understand, I cannot be in Germany, not even for Ernst\u2019s funeral. That hurts much more than I can say. But we are in a war for survival, and we must do our duty.\nToday, I will send out and also post the following notice via the Internet, and I ask you to share it with friends. Many of Ernst\u2019s supporters are old and do not know how to access a website. Please help me spread the word.\nA Soaring Eagles Press Release / August 14, 2017\nThis is an unorthodox press release about an unorthodox man who refused to live on his knees.\nErnst Z\u00fcndel, 78, passed away on August 5, 2017 in his 400-year-old ancestral home in the Black Forest, where he was born on the eve of World War II.\nHe died at what might well become the eve of World War III \u2013 a period in time where truth is no defense and honest citizens are put in chains and thrown into imprisonment for speaking Truth to Power. The Aryan seer, Savitri Devi, called our time \u201cthe age of Kali Yuga\u201c \u2013 end times before a brand new dawn. Let\u2019s hope it\u2019s coming soon!\nControversial from the start, Ernst was a man with an encyclopedic mind, a forceful personality, an inner strength of will that simply would not quit, and a caressing warmth for his devoted comrades he allowed into his orbit. Loved and adored by millions worldwide, he was equally hated by many.\nMore than anybody else, Ernst Z\u00fcndel straddled post-war Germany with his demand to stop the demonization of Germans. He was \u201c\u2026 the man in time, the man above time, and the man against time \u2026\u201d \u2013 possessing the features ascribed to an avatar\u2019s distinct personality traits.\nThe greatest dissident of our time \u2026\nPaul Eisen, Founder and President of Deir Yassin Remembered, sent his condolences to Ingrid Rimland Z\u00fcndel, Ernst\u2019s wife of 17 years:\nI got to know Ernst uncannily well through you, and then, a few years later, I met him and what I already knew was all confirmed.\nThe Ernst I knew and met was a lovely, lovely man but also a great man. I believe he is the greatest dissident of our time \u2013 and one day, will be held as such.\nI know neither you nor Ernst were believers, but I am, so forgive me when I say that I know Ernst is where he should be, with his Creator, bathed in the Grace which he so richly deserves.\u201d\nThere is no need to repeat the details of Ernst Z\u00fcndel\u2019s struggle to remove the Stain of Cain from his beloved Volk, the postwar German people , maligned and demonized with a ferocity and cruelty for decades that has no equal anywhere among the Western nations \u2013 almost as long as the length of Ernst Z\u00fcndel\u2019s political life.\nAll information why and what he fought is on the Internet \u2013 if you google \u201cErnst Z\u00fcndel died,\u201d you can peruse 180,000 hits that testify to the reaction of his passing. Try \u201cyoutube Ernst Z\u00fcndel\u201d and in the span of mere half-dozen seconds, a total of 253,000 video clips are at your fingertips. \u201cErnst Z\u00fcndel\u201d by itself yields more than 6,830,000 results.\nNot bad for a man who came to Canada as a nineteen-year-old lad with only eighth-grade post-war German schooling \u2013 and who, in less than a decade, competed for the top political spot in the country of his choice which guaranteed him that he would not have to serve in uniform, as he himself has put it to underline his lifelong pacifism, \u201c\u2026 to kill a man who has done me no harm.\u201d\nThe youngest candidate ever \u2026\nIn his capacity as one of seven candidates for the Liberal Party ticket \u2013 which, had he won, would have made him automatically Prime Minister of Canada, Ernst Z\u00fcndel addressed an audience of 25,000 in the Ottawa Sports Stadium. Speaking flawlessly in three Old-Continent languages \u2013 English, German, and French \u2013 he pleaded for chivalrous treatment for newly arrived immigrants of German descent who had landed on Canada\u2019s shores after the collapse of the Third Reich, and who were subjected routinely to ferocious demonization.\nGordon Duff, Senior Editor of Veterans Today, one of the most popular alternative websites in cyberspace that defines itself as a Journal for the Clandestine Community, had this to say about Z\u00fcndel:\n\u201cErnst was a lion in a world of jackals\u2026\u201d\nRobert David Steele, a former high-level CIA operative and now a rising populist star on the AltRight, an activist who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize, paid tribute in an email to Ernst\u2019s wife with these words:\n\u201cSo sad about your husband. Ernst Z\u00fcndel clearly knew in great depth the entire history [of WWII] and all the myths and deceptions. (\u2026) Your husband was a scholar-historian of the first order.\u201d\nMichael Walsh, a popular nationalist writer living in exile in Spain, paid his tribute as follows:\n\u201cOn August 5, Ernst stumbled. He dropped his baton which is our baton too. We pick it up and this is the best tribute of all.\nErnst, you escaped your tormentors after humiliating and defeating them. The time will come when parks, esplanades, squares and libraries will be named in your honour. Rest in Peace, comrade, there are few more deserving than you, a true comrade [who] joins the already tried and fallen.\nWhen spirits flagged we picked each other up. I am fortunate as at my age it will not be too long before we two meet up again. Most of you, unfortunately, may wait a little longer.\u201d\nLinda Hart, a committed volunteer at Zundel Tennessee Headquarters, wrote this:\n\u201cErnst\u2019s passing seems like the passing of an era. I can only hope that more warrior saints such as [Ernst] will rise in our ranks. In the meantime, it feels a bit like being left orphaned.\nKonstantin B\u00fcnger, a smart millennial, expressed his sentiments in an e-mail to Ingrid:\nErnst was the greatest man I\u2019ve met in my entire life, a man one in a hundred million. I will my whole life be thankful to have met him \u2013 what an honour! He once told me that he was not afraid to die. This man had truly nerves of steel and the kindest and most beautiful heart \u2026\u201d\nAnd Ingrid had this to say about her husband:\n\u201cIf I were asked to summarize these last seven days since word reached me that Ernst had died of what seems to have been a heart attack, a William Wordsworth saying comes to mind, here paraphrased, \u201c\u2026that there has passed a radiance from this earth\u2026\u201d\nFor further information, please visit http://www.soarungeaglesgallery.com or http://www.zundelsite.org You may also write to:\nIngrid Rimland Zundel, Ed.D.\n3152 Parkway, 13-109,\nI am still lacking details about what really happened and where to go from here. I need a few more days. In the meantime, I want to share with you what Horst and Gisela, two Z\u00fcndel friends in Ernst\u2019s vicinity, have shared with me that will bring tears to your eyes, as it did to my eyes and my heart:. This is not a literal translation, since my German is no longer reliable enough. I am doing the best that I can to hold myself to its meaning.\nDear Ingrid \u2013\nWe are sending you our deepest condolences to the tragic loss of your and our dearest Ernst.\nOn August 5, about 9:30 in the evening, we received a phone call from Ernst\u2019s oldest sister who informed us that Ernst had passed away. That was an enormous shock to us \u2013 it was as though the entire world came to a sudden standstill.\nWe immediately jumped into our car and drove to Ernst\u2019s home. I (Horst) wept like a child as we were driving, and I am not embarrassed to say so. Gisela was afraid I might cause an accident because of my tears.\nUpon arrival, we found your (our) Ernst in his little bathroom on the floor, covered head to foot with a blanket. I (Horst) was totally alone with Ernst. I knelt in front of him and very carefully pulled the blanket from his face in order to thank him for the wonderful friendship he had extended to us, and in order to bid him goodbye.\nDear Ingrid, I will never forget what I saw. I almost did not recognize our Ernst \u2013such pain, sorrow, and disappointment had distorted his face!\nHow cruel can destiny be! Cruel not only to you but also to Gisela and myself because we lost the best, the gentlest, the most precious friend that we would ever know!\nWe will never forget Ernst. He will live on in our hearts. That\u2019s why we take it as our sacred duty to do honor to his memory. Thousands of comrades all over the world will feel likewise.\nWith Frank R., J\u00fcrgen K. and many other German comrades in the national camp we plan to have a memorial September 1 \u2013 3 for our much-loved Ernst \u2013 our heroic warrior for Truth, Freedom and Independence. It will be a memorial that will convey honor to Ernst.\nWith all our hearts, we wish you much strength and resolve to master all the difficult tasks now before you. With our very best wishes,\nYour Horst and your Gisela.\nThat is all I can tell you today. There is much more that I will have to say in the future. For now, please just know that Ernst did not want and did not in the least intend to die. We had such gentle dreams. We were all ready to help fashion the future, not just for ourselves, but for our many friends in the entire world \u2013 not just in Germany or here in the United States. That resolve did not die when Ernst died. Believe me!\nI miss Ernst achingly.\nIngrid Z\u00fcndel\nPrevious Previous post: In what language did God write the Ten Commandments?\nNext Next post: The Mystery of the 14 Dead Russian Officials",

Become a...\nFor people who care about the men, women, and children who are lost, hungry, and homeless in Maricopa County, Torchbearers lead the way by providing an affordable monthly gift each month that helps offer life-transforming solutions which save lives at Phoenix Rescue Mission.\nBecome a Monthly Torchbearer and Help Struggling Neighbors Like Noora\nFor most of her life, Noora never could have imagined the darkness and struggles she would one day face.\nBorn in Finland, her family moved to Israel when she was still a small child. It's a time she recalls as enjoyable and normal\u2014although she often found herself surrounded by a \"culture of alcoholism,\" which left a lasting mark on her.\nLater, after marrying, she and her husband moved to Phoenix, far from her support system of family and friends. As her husband became increasingly abusive, Noora found herself isolated and didn't know where to turn. She turned more and more to alcohol to help her cope. When the abuse finally turned physical, Noora says, \"I knew this was going nowhere good and was about to get worse.\"\nDesperate, the 27-year-old mother of three left her husband and began looking for a friend or a domestic abuse shelter who could take her young family in. After searching for several days, God led her to Phoenix Rescue Mission's Changing Lives Center, which quickly became a light for her in the darkness.\nNoora soon joined the Mission's Foundations program, an 8-plus week course that introduced her to recovery principles and gave her the basic skills necessary for a Christ-centered recovery. It was there she found God.\n\u201cGod somehow closed all the doors so I could come here, so that he could finally get a hold of me,\" Noora says. She has now moved through a number of the recovery programs available at the Changing Lives Center and is currently in the Servant Leadership program, which will give her the chance to invest her life in the Phoenix Rescue Mission.\n\"I just want to grow in my relationship with the Lord,\" she says. \"I want to strive to get to know him more, and never again allow a person, substance, or anything to be above God. To be a great mom for my kids. And to be intentional.\u201d\nA Monthly Light of Hope and Life-Changing Care\nAs a Monthly Torchbearer, for less than $1 per day, you'll provide struggling men, women, and children at Phoenix Rescue Mission with...\nMeals and emergency food boxes\nLong-term comprehensive services\nSolutions program to connect to short-term resources\nSpiritual recovery / Christian counseling\nJob and life skills training\nBenefits of Being a Monthly Torchbearer\nAs a Monthly Torchbearer, you'll get an inside look at news from around the Mission and invitations to special events. Best of all, you\u2019ll know that every month you\u2019re providing a light of hope and life-changing care to people in need.\nBecome a Monthly Torchbearer.

The purpose of this plan is to establish and implement best management practices to include, but not limit to, public education and outreach, hazardous waste education, construction-site stormwater runoff control, and pollution prevention. The scope of the Water Quality Management Plan is very similar to the requirements of the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) general permit, which includes the City of Georgetown, based on the rules adopted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) on December 11, 2013.\nThe TCEQ\u2019s newly adopted rules require the City to submit to TCEQ the Implementation Program for the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). The SWMP describes the minimum control measures and Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented by the City in order to achieve the regulatory standard of reducing pollutants in the City\u2019s storm water to the \u201cmaximum extent practicable\u201d. The Implementation Program for the SWMP proposes to reduce stormwater pollution by increasing the city\u2019s control of pollution sources. In addition, it provides maps and photos that identify many of the points where stormwater is discharged from the city to other municipalities. The City\u2019s SWMP was approved by TCEQ on November 17, 2014, and must be fully implemented within 5 years of the TCEQ\u2019s issuance of the General Permit.\nFor purposes of the Water Quality Ordinance, the 2014 SWMP also serves as the Water Quality Management Plan.\nIf you have additional questions or would like further information on the City\u2019s SWMP, to include the MS4 general permit, please contact the SWMP lead at MS4Operator@Georgetown.org.",

        "title": "$1 Million For A Wharton MBA? Not so.",
        "raw_content": "$1 Million For A Wharton MBA? Not so.\nA week ago, we reported that in all likelihood an MBA in this year\u2019s graduating class at Stanford Graduate School of Business would be the highest paid MBA of the year. The freshly minted grad landed a hedge fund job that paid a guaranteed bonus of half a million dollars, bringing the person\u2019s total starting compensation package to at least $675,000.\nFew thought anyone could top that number, and Wharton reported earlier this week that one of its grads in the Class of 2011 also bagged a $500,000 signing bonus\u2014just for agreeing to go to a certain, unidentified firm. It turns out, however, that the school input the wrong number. Instead of half a million, it was $300,000. Nothing to sneeze at, but hardly big enough to unseat the Stanford grad as the highest paid MBA of the year.\nThe Wharton sign-on bonus now merely ties the previous $300,000 signing bonus record reported by a Wharton grad in 2006.\nThat\u2019s not all, however, Wharton says that the highest starting salary for one of its MBAs was $375,000, the highest yet reported by any business school this year. (Wharton\u2019s record is $420,00 snagged by a 2009 MBA).\nAnd wait. The highest guaranteed bonus\u2014which is separate from a signing bonus\u2014was $230,000. (Wharton\u2019s high was $450,000 received by a 2008 MBA).\nSo much for the recession\u2013and so much for critics who think the MBA is passe.\nWharton used to total each of these numbers\u2014starting salary, sign-on bonus and other guaranteed bonus\u2013into one tidy sum, but stopped that practice five years ago (see table on next page). So even when the school releases its 2011 employment report next week, it\u2019s unlikely that you can tell with certainty what the person who got the half-a-million-dollar signing bonus will bring home in the first year.\nThough Wharton won\u2019t disclose which industry its highest-paid grad entered this year until the school\u2019s official employment report comes out next week, in all probability the person headed into either a hedge fund or private equity job. The highest paid MBAs at Wharton over the past seven years have gone into either of those two fields. Indeed, Wharton\u2019s known record, set by one of its MBAs in 2004, was for a total compensation package of $680,000 at a private equity firm.\nThese are, of course, the extreme highs of MBA pay. \u201cThey are usually people who have done it and are going back in,\u201d says Maryellen Reilly Lamb, the newly appointed director of Wharton\u2019s Career Management Center. \u201cThese are not the average MBAs who are switching careers.\u201d Wharton says the median starting salary for the Class of 2011 was $120,000. Some 68% of the class got a median signing bonus of $20,000, and fewer still\u2013some 16% of the class\u2013received median guaranteed year-end bonus of $30,000.\nBy and large, the highest-starting salaries these days are being paid by private equity firms and hedge funds which recruit far fewer MBAs than the elite consulting firms and investment banking partnerships that buy MBAs in the boatloads. Among the largest private equity players, TPG Capital and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) are known as the highest paying PE shops. Not far behind, according to a recruiter for a top private equity firm, are Blackstone, Bain Capital, Carlyle Group, Providence, and Apollo. Even so, median pay in private equity isn\u2019t nearly as large as these big numbers. At Harvard, the median salary for an MBA going into private equity this year was $130,000 and the median salary for an HBS grad going into hedge funds was $150,000.\nTagged: highest paying MBAs, Wharton compensation, What highest paid Wharton MBAs make\nPrevious: What Are Your Odds of Getting In?\nNext: Stanford\u2019s Mind-Boggling Essay",

        "title": "Meet Dartmouth Tuck's MBA Class Of 2019",
        "raw_content": "Meet Dartmouth Tuck's MBA Class Of 2019\nMeet Dartmouth Tuck\u2019s MBA Class Of 2019\nby: Jeff Schmitt on November 14, 2017 | 0 Comments 26,127 Views\nSome of the MBA students in the Class of 2019 at Dartmouth College\u2019s Tuck School of Business\nMost people head to New Hampshire to get away from it all. It is a rustic land of colonial bed and breakfasts, apple orchards, and pumpkin patches. Here, the four seasons converge, making it the perfect place to reflect and imagine \u2013 all with a backdrop of clear crackling brooks and majestic whitecaps surrounded on all sides by maple and spruce trees. People come to New Hampshire to spread out and blend, knowing neighborly New Englanders won\u2019t insert themselves into their business.\nFor the Class of 2019 at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, the Upper Valley is actually a place to come together. In the 293 member class, there is no place to hide. Think of Tuck as the personification of the communitarian spirit \u2013 a self-select program where students seek \u201ca truly immersive, transformative experience\u201d in the words of Darryn J. Lee, a BlackRock relationship manager from California. At Tuck, you won\u2019t find any pesky undergrads or imperious doctoral candidates siphoning off resources. Instead, the program is geared exclusively to MBAs \u2013 a postcard perfect resort where the majority of students live in posh dorm rooms replete with private baths.\nThis remote setting, coupled with a culture of camaraderie, creates perhaps the most unique dynamic found in any American MBA program. \u201cA small campus is exactly what I wanted because I want to be really close with my classmates and professors, and those that choose Tuck tend to want something similar,\u201d says Lee. Emma He, an MBA to Watch from the 2017 Class, frames the Tuck experience more starkly. \u201cTuck is a very tight community. You will not only know your classmates\u2019 names, but also their partners\u2019 names, their baby\u2019s name, and their dog\u2019s name. Be prepared to spend a lot of time together.\u201d\nOn the surface, that might give some MBA candidates pause \u2013 even those who crave fresh air and forests. In fact, the first question many ask is, \u201cWhat is there to do in Hanover, New Hampshire?\u201d (Aside from huddling around the fireplace, that is). Turns out, Tuckies (as they\u2019re called) have a special talent for making their own fun. Not that it\u2019s all that hard with the wealth of skiing, hiking, biking, and fishing opportunities nearby. Plus, the ocean is just an hour awa\u2026and you can drive New York City in an afternoon too. Beyond that, the school is known for student-run social and academic activities galore. When those quieter times finally come, the school is the perfect place to slow down and have real conversations over coffee.\nIn other words, if you\u2019re bored at Tuck, you\u2019re probably the one who\u2019s boring.\nStell Hall at the Tuck School of Business\n\u201cI\u2019ve found that we\u2019re more creative with how we spend our time \u2014 and much more deliberate about the people with whom we spend it,\u201d explains Tom Allin, a classmate of He who graduated this spring. Lee has a different take. \u201cTuck\u2019s location and class size are a recipe for close friendships and introspection,\u201d he explains. \u201cWhen you\u2019re based in rural Hanover, NH, where the closest major city is Boston (2 hours away), what else is there to do but study and have fun with the people there?\u201d\nFROM AN OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST TO A BRAZILIAN SUPERMODEL (SORT OF)\nLooking at the 2019 Class, there is plenty of fun to be had over the next two years. The class comes to Hanover after working for 256 different employers over the past year, with experiences ranging from managing sales for Google to leading platoons in Afghanistan. The majority are changing career like Ahra Cho, who describes herself as a \u201cformer teacher turned medical student, escaping to b-school.\u201d It is a class that comes from all walks of life as well. Lee is a first generation college student; Tayo Odusanya is a mother and teacher from Atlanta who already has one master\u2019s degree to her credit; and William Taylor is a banker-turned-consultant \u201cwith a passion for building community through technology, retail, architecture and hospitality.\u201d\nAlas, you won\u2019t find a bigger career changer than Gillian Apps, who joins Cho in returning to Dartmouth. She calls herself a \u201cwashed up Canadian hockey player\u201d \u2013 washed up, that is, after winning three Olympic gold medals for Team Canada in women\u2019s ice hockey! Speaking of transitions, Katie Donovan, who studied the history art and architecture as an undergrad, might want to settle on an identity at Tuck. She describes herself as \u201cequal parts Ohio redneck, New England prepster, Vermont hippie and Silicon Valley techie.\u201d Her claim to fame? \u201cI once accidentally exiled the rapper, Pitbull, to Kodiak, Alaska. Never underestimate the power of the Internet!\u201d\nThe class has certainly had their brushes with celebrity\u2026well, sort of. Lee was a finalist on Fear Factor \u2013the live show at Universal Studios. Chicagoan Orlando G\u00f3mez, whose journey has taken him from the Peace Corps to Credit Suisse, once pitched Flava Flav on expanding his fried chicken empire. And Brazilian Swellen T. Macieira nearly became the next Gisele\u2026for the Pampers set. \u201cI used to be a Brazilian super model, to be more precise, a baby model,\u201d she shares. \u201cI won a few beauty contests for babies and was invited to shoot for Johnson & Johnson but my father did not like the idea of having his baby\u2019s face everywhere. He was too jealous and my career as a super model finished before it began.\u201d\nA CLASS FILLED WITH TEACHERS\u2026IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER\nIf one trait defines the Class of 2019, it would be determination. Apps learned to waterski when she was just three years old. Katie Hill was so determined to see a snow leopard in its natural habitat that she camped in the Himalayas for two weeks at 4,000 feet (perfect prep for Hanover winters). Her resilience was rewarded when she saw two of those notoriously reclusive cats. Speaking of adventurous, Matthew O\u2019Sullivan spent nine days motorcycling across Mongolia. And Travis Cyphers is either clairvoyant or very, very driven. He listed two goals as a third grader: He wanted to serve in the U.S. Army and become a teacher. In the end, he was promoted to captain \u2013 and was among the 2% of applicants selected to teach at West Point.\nCyphers isn\u2019t the only class member who delivered results while giving back. Cho takes pride in 100% of her students passing the Texas Statewide Examinations, achieving scores that were 30% above state and national standards. Not to be outdone, Odunsanya produced a 147% increase in the number of students in her classes who scored at the highest level on the state assessment. For Gonzalo Charr\u00f3, who was named \u201cRookie of the Year\u201d by Google for new business sales in the Americas, his startup is an effort to address an issue close to home for him. \u201cMy two siblings suffer from celiac disease,\u201d he explains. \u201cThree years ago, I decided to chase my lifelong dream of becoming an entrepreneur: I started up a bakery to produce and commercialize high-quality gluten-free products, with tangible impact on the celiac community.\u201d\nOther Tuck first-years found their purpose by pushing for greater diversity where it was needed. As an intern at BlackRock, barely 1% of Lee\u2019s class was African American. Looking ahead, he vowed to make an impact. Eventually, he built a recruiting pipeline that engaged with minority candidates, enabling him to raise a quarter million dollars for his cause. At the same time, G\u00f3mez taught finance and investing to a local mother\u2019s club \u2013 and quickly discovered how much his efforts really mattered.\nTuck in winter.\n\u201cThe advice seemed relatively straight-forward to me, but once I was done with the workshop the women showed me that there was value in sharing it anyways,\u201d he shares. \u201cOne-by-one, each woman stood up and thanked me for taking the time to teach them these basic business concepts because no one had ever thought them capable of becoming business owners. This newfound knowledge was a tremendous gift for them and their families.\u201d\nTUCK TIES WHARTON FOR HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF WOMEN\nTuck\u2019s performance during the 2016-2017 recruiting cycle was up across nearly every measure. Applications rose to 2,610, a rise of one percentage point that enabled the school to enroll an additional eight students over the previous year. Academically, average GMATs climbed five points to 722, equaling the incoming class at MIT Sloan. This was also the first time that the program broke the 720 mark after hovering from 716-718 over the past seven years. At the same time, average GPAs held steady at 3.51.\nSteady was a net positive when it came to the percentage of women. The Class of 2019 is again composed of 44% women, tying Tuck with Wharton for the largest concentration of female MBA candidates. Even more, it represents a 12 point jump in just the past two years alone. In fact, you could think of the incoming class as a family affair, with 31% bringing a partner to Hanover. The percentage of underrepresented minorities also hiked up five points. That said, Tuck joined many of its peers in experiencing a drop in international students. Overall, 30% of the class hails from overseas, which includes students from 34 nations outside the United States.\nThis first-year class features students from 169 undergraduate institutions worldwide who majored in 70 different disciplines. Another 12% of the class already holds advanced degrees. Among academic backgrounds, the numbers remained relatively consistent with the 2018 Class. 55% earned degrees related to humanities and social sciences \u2013 a 4% bump up over last year. Such numbers reinforce Tuck\u2019s reputation as the bona fide place to switch careers. In fact, business and finance majors account for just 20% of the class, down three points. STEM majors make up the remaining quarter of the class.\nProfessionally, the class skews higher towards consumer goods and government and military service. These sectors jumped by 7% and 3% respectively, meaning they make up 16% and 14% of the class. Technically, finance composes the largest bloc of the class. For some reason, Tuck separates these professionals between financial services (14%) and investing (8%). Combined, they are a point higher than consulting at 21% \u2014 though they collectively lost eight points over the previous year. Technology again represented 9% of the class.\nGo to page 2 to see in-depth profiles of incoming Dartmouth Tuck MBA students.\nTagged: Ahra Cho, Class of 2019, Darryn J.

        "raw_content": "Blog Tour: LJ Cohen\nI\u2019ve never done one of these before, and it sounds like a fun idea. A blog tour! Basically, authors with new releases write up articles or answer questions on other peoples\u2019 blogs. So today we have LJ Cohen, author of the Halcyone Space series (and others. Go check her Amazon site to see if there\u2019s anything in her list that you think looks interesting)\nAfter reading an Advanced Review Copy (ARC) of her latest book, Dreadnought and Shuttle, I decided I\u2019d send her a few questions.\n1) There are so many aspects of your books that I enjoy, it\u2019s hard to pick a favourite. From the characters themselves, to the \u201chistory\u201d (our future) on Earth, the technology, realistic injuries with interesting lingering symptoms, and fun with physics (I LOVED space billiards in Dreadnought and Shuttle). So my question has to be, what\u2019s your favourite part of your writing?\nWow \u2013 thanks! Space billiards was a lot of fun to write. It kept me amused for days. My favorite part of the writing? I think it is in finding the right turns of phrases that fit the characters and their settings. In our everyday language, we use colloquial expressions so often, I suspect we are nearly blind to them. I know I am. In writing dialogue and close point of view narration, I would find myself relying on those expressions: needle in a haystack, cat and mouse game, throw someone under the bus. But those aren\u2019t anything relevant to the future world of Halyone Space or my characters\u2019 lived experiences. So I needed to find the day to day expressions they would use. Someone might get \u2018thrown under the afterburners\u2019 for example.\nDev \u2013 being a planet-sider \u2013 often says \u2018what in the world. . .\u2019 or \u2018what on Earth. . .\u2019, where Micah, being a spacer, rarely if ever uses \u2018Earth\u2019 in his turns of phrases. He\u2019s more likely to say \u2018what in the cosmos . . .\u2019 instead. It\u2019s those little things that I really enjoy layering in my writing.\n2) Ro and Barre both play important roles as Halcyone\u2019s \u201caccidental crew.\u201d We see each of them deal with different issues, and both feel necessary on board. Let\u2019s say disaster strikes, and only one of them is available to pilot Halcyone out of trouble. In your opinion, which one of them is more vital to the safety of the ship and crew, and why?\nThat\u2019s a really great question! Especially since it is relevant to the story line in book 4. (No spoilers!) As much as Ro would be angry with me for saying this, I think Barre would be the pilot Halcyone herself would choose. While Ro is the coder/hacker/engineer and it\u2019s her code mods that brought Halcyone back to life, Barre\u2019s relationship with the AI has evolved into a close partnership that Ro really doesn\u2019t understand. To her, computers \u2013 even ones a sophisticated and with complex personalities like Halcyone \u2013 are not beings. Barre sees Halcyone as a fellow crew member more than as the ship\u2019s computer. And with his growing skill at communicating with her directly through his neural, I suspect he and Halcyone would make quite a team.\n3) If humanity was to create a moon base, or Mars base, in our lifetime, would you like to get off world?\nYes. It has been a dream of mine since the time I was a child. I believe I have the skills to be valuable to a colony, but unless biotech comes up with the ability to turn back the clock and lengthen my telomeres, I suspect I\u2019d be too old to be considered.\n4) You paint a pretty bleak picture of Earth. How likely do you think it is that Earth will suffer the way you depict it?\nUnfortunately, all too likely.\nI\u2019ve experienced some of the effects of sea level rise in the increasing number and severity of storms on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. My in-laws live on the Eastern Shore. They\u2019ve already lost their home once to a storm. It seems like higher storm surges are now the new normal. I suspect their property will be scoured clean and taken by the sea sometime in the next decade or so. Same thing is happening in Cape Cod in Massachusetts, along with so many other coastal areas.\nAnd I extrapolated from some of what happened during Hurricane Katrina and Super Storm Sandy combined with the increasing permanence of refugee camps all around the globe due to military conflicts. It didn\u2019t feel like such a big push to get to the settlements I described in DREADNOUGHT AND SHUTTLE.\n5) I\u2019m always interested in what inspires authors. What is your writing process? Is there anyone in particular who inspires you?\nI spend a lot of time listening to NPR (National Public Radio in the US) and particularly love the stories they do on science and technology. I also love TED talks as a source of inspiration. Stories about the crew of the International Space Station are hugely inspiring as well. I loved the recent photo of the astronaut with a \u201cdon\u2019t panic\u201d towel in honor of Douglas Adams and Towel Day. The fact that so many of the astronauts are huge SF geeks makes me happy.\nMy writing process probably looks really boring from the outside! When I\u2019m drafting a novel, I set a goal of 1,000 words a day and hope to average 5,000 words a week. I write on an old laptop that will need to be replaced soon. A lot of the letters are worn off the keyboard and it\u2019s running Windows 7. I use a program called y-Writer which lets me break down the story into chapters and scenes. And I start at the beginning and keep going until the end. I know there are writers who can easily write out of chronological order, but that\u2019s not something that works for me. My brain is stubbornly linear.\nI struggle with keeping my focus single-tasked on the writing, especially when I hit road blocks in the story and to be perfectly honest, I waste a lot of time on the internet. But I still am able to finish a solid first draft of a full novel in about 5 months on average.\n6) I look forward to reading more adventures in your galaxy! Any idea how many books there will be in total?\nI\u2019m planning on 5 books for this story arc. However, it\u2019s a big universe and I suspect there may be other stories set there. I have an idea for a story about a freighter pilot in the period right after wormholes were discovered and just as hostilities are starting to break out between the colonies and the Commonwealth \u2013 forty-five years or so before the events in DERELICT. I\u2019m not sure yet if that will be a series of short stories or a full novel.\n7) Where can people find you and your books?\nThe best place to find up-to-date links to all my books and where they are available is on my website: http://www.ljcohen.net\nI\u2019m fairly active on Google+, less so on Twitter and Facebook.\nCurrently, all my novels are available on Amazon for kindle. Some are also available more widely. As I don\u2019t use DRM (digital rights management) in any of my work, if you buy it in one format and need it in another, it can be converted. I am also happy to furnish the format of the reader\u2019s choice.\nThank you for inviting me on your blog!\nPosted in Blog Tour",

        "title": "Folk Tales",
        "raw_content": "Home \u203a Parenting \u203a Children's Books \u203a Folk Tales\nFairy tale books for children are plentiful and tell the folk tales that have been told for centuries. Every culture has its own folktales or fairy tales, stories or legends that are part of the oral tradition of the culture. In the Western culture, The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson, and Aesop's Fables are all considered to be folk tales peculiar to that culture. Short fairy tale stories usually have a moral attached that help children learn life lessons.\nJapanese Folk Tales - Two Frogs\nThe Japanese culture has its own folk tales and fairy tales as does the African culture. Japanese folk tales for children tell a short folktale story and gives a lesson with it, as is common to the genre. One such tale involves two frogs who want to get out and see the world, one from Osaka and one from Kyoto - one from the seashore and one from the big city. In a bid to see their destinations to determine whether the trip was worth the effort, they agree to help each other see where they are headed. They stand on their hind legs, each looking back to where they had come from and deduce that the trip would not be worth the effort because what they saw looked just like what they'd left. What they didn't know was that they were looking at their old homes. They determine to return home and never do get to see the world. They assume that the two cities were exactly alike, when they are totally different. Assuming something does not make it true.\nAn Africa Tale - The Lion's Whisker\nAn African folk tale for children is called The Lion's Whisker and is the story of a woman whose husband doesn't seem to love her any more. She goes to the old wise man in her village and he says he will make a magic potion for her to give to her husband to make him love her - but he needs the whisker of a living lion to concoct the mixture. Frightened, she devises a plan whereby she feeds a wild lion raw meat every day, from a distance, and gradually she gets closer and closer to the lion. Over a period of weeks, the lion becomes accustomed to her presence and she is able to pluck a hair from the lion's beard. She returns to the old man who says that she didn't need the potion because she had the qualities to draw her husband back without it. Courage and patience are what is needed to wait for her husband to start loving her again. She applies the same principle to her husband as she did to the lion and her husband begins to love her again. Often, what works in one situation is the seed of the answer to other problems.\nBy seeing other cultures through their folk tales, a child can get a glimpse of the lifestyle, morals and principles that the people of those cultures enjoy. Children's folklore books and folk tales enrich the reader and make a wonderful possession for a budding library.\nFolklore Is Not The Same As Folk Tales\nFolklore is different from folk tales and fairy tales. New York folklorist Ben Botkin wrote in 1938, \"Every group bound together or by common interests and purposes, whether educated or uneducated, rural or urban, possesses a body of traditions which may be called its folklore. Into these traditions enter many elements, individual, popular, and even \"literary,\" but all are absorbed and assimilated through repetition and variation into a pattern which has value and continuity for the group as a whole.\"\nThe traditional forms of knowledge and wisdom are learned one-to-one or in small groups, or through performance and by example. Whatever method of communication, folklore is learned and kept alive in the context of the group. The shared experiences give shape and meaning to the collective. We see folklore very much alive today in the First Nations people and the Indigenous of South America and Mexico.\nChildren Can Learn From Books\nChildren can learn much about the way groups live by learning about their folklore through children's folklore books. Groups are generally open and welcome those from other life cultures into their world. Folklore stories for kids involve heroes of the specific culture or group, the spiritual aspect of their beliefs and how they live their lives.\nIt really is a small world, and children can learn and travel to many different places and cultures by reading books and learning the folklore, folk tales and fairy tales of those cultures.",

        "title": "3-FPM - PsychonautWiki",
        "raw_content": "(Redirected from PAL-593)\nSummary sheet: 3-FPM\n3-FPM, PAL-593\n2-(3-Fluorophenyl)-3-methylmorpholine\n3-Fluorophenmetrazine (also known as 3F-Phenmetrazine, PAL-593, and 3-FPM) is a novel stimulant substance of the phenylmorpholine class. 3-FPM is a derivative of phenmetrazine, a once-popular stimulant substance that was clinically used as an anorectic in Europe in the 1950s.[1] It produces its activity by increasing the levels of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the brain.\nThe synthesis and pharmacology of 3-FPM was first reported in a patent filed in 2011.[2] Reports of human use first surfaced in early 2015 after it appeared for sale on the online research chemical market.\nUser reports indicate that 3-FPM produces classical stimulant effects comparable to those of amphetamine. Common effects include stimulation, enhanced focus and motivation, thought acceleration, and euphoria. Many reports describe 3-FPM as having a relatively subtle and controlled stimulant effect which produces less nervousness, insomnia and euphoria than other stimulants, which makes it suitable as a study-aid or productivity-enhancer.\nVery little data exists about the pharmacological properties, metabolism, and toxicity of 3-FPM. Due to the lack of information on its properties, it is highly advised to use harm reduction practices if using this substance.\n3-Fluorophenmetrazine (3-FPM) is a synthetic molecule of the amphetamine family. Molecules of the amphetamine class contain a phenethylamine core featuring a phenyl ring bound to an amino (NH2) group through an ethyl chain with an additional methyl substitution at R\u03b1. Amphetamines are alpha-methylated phenethylamines. 3-FPM contains a fluorine atom attached at R3 of the phenyl ring. Additionally, part of its amphetamine skeleton is incorporated into a morpholine ring. At R2 of its chain, an oxygen group is bound -- this oxygen group is linked by an ethyl chain to the terminal amine of the amphetamine chain to form a morpholine group. 3-FPM is a fluorinated derivative of phenmetrazine.\n3-FPM is a sympathomimetic drug which has classical stimulant effects when consumed. Its mechanism of action appears to function by acting as a releasing agent for dopamine and norepinephrine, increasing their concentrations in the synaptic clefts of neurons in the brain. This accumulation of neurotransmitters results in the experience of euphoric and stimulating effects. Its parent compound, phenmetrazine, was previously marketed as an appetite suppressant in the 60s and 70s but has since been withdrawn from the market due to concerns of abuse and addiction.\nBelow is a table showing 3-FPM's potency for inducing release (EC50) of dopamine (DA), serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NE) in comparison to phenmetrazine:\nCompounds >\nNeurotransmitters V PAL-593 Phenmetrazine\nDA Release 43 87\n5-HT Release 2558 3246\nNE Release 30 38\nAccording to anecdotal reports, 3-FPM is considered to be more subtle in its effects when compared to other stimulants and produces less nervousness, euphoria, and insomnia than substances of the substituted amphetamine class, leading to its adoption as a study and productivity-enhancing drug as opposed to the more typical recreational stimulant with pronounced euphoric properties.\nStimulation - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the user, 3-FPM is usually considered to be mildly to moderately energetic and stimulating in a fashion that is considerably weaker in comparison to that of traditional recreational stimulants such as amphetamine, MDMA or cocaine. This encourages physical activities such as performing chores and repetitive tasks which would otherwise be boring and strenuous physical activities.\nIncreased heart rate - In comparison to other stimulants such as amphetamine or cocaine, 3-FPM only has a mild effect on one's heart rate.\nAppetite suppression - The above components are also accompanied by a suppression of appetite which is usually much less intense in strength in comparison to the appetite suppression experienced with amphetamine or methamphetamine.\nVasoconstriction[citation needed]\nIncreased libido - 3-FPM is known for having aphrodisiac properties and is said to enhance sex drive and improve sexual performance.[citation needed]\nTeeth grinding - This component can be considered to be less intense when compared with that of MDMA and many other stimulants.\nDisinhibition - While 3-FPM is often noted for its potential functional applications, higher doses can result in the kind of disinhibition seen in traditional stimulants like amphetamine or cocaine, leading to increased sociability.\nCognitive euphoria - This component is much less intense than the euphoria experienced with other stimulants such as amphetamine, cocaine, or methamphetamine.\nMotivation enhancement - This component is experienced in a functional form even at moderate to high doses.\nErowid Experience Vaults: 3-FPM\nThe toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational 3-FPM use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because 3-FPM has very little history of human usage.\nAnecdotal evidence suggests that 3-FPM is relatively well-tolerated, with most users encountering few side-effects at low to moderate doses. However, several users have encountered serious flu-like symptoms on the comedown of 3-FPM, consisting of muscle and joint aches, fever and chills, and headaches, sometimes with migraine auras present. This is speculated to be systemic inflammation induced by 3-FPM. Therefore new users should exercise great caution in dosing to gauge their own physiological response to 3-FPM.[citation needed]\nAs with other stimulants, the chronic use of 3-FPM 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 effects may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage.\nTolerance to many of the effects of 3-FPM develops with prolonged and repeated use. 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). 3-FPM presents cross-tolerance with all dopaminergic stimulants, meaning that after the consumption of 3-FPM all stimulants will have a reduced effect.\nStimulants - 3-FPM can be potentially dangerous in combination with other stimulants as it can increase one's heart rate and blood pressure to dangerous levels.\nIsrael: 3-FPM is illegal to buy, sell or possess in Israel as of 2017. [6]\nSweden: The public health agency suggested the classification of the drug as an illegal narcotic on June 1, 2015.[7]\nSwitzerland: 3-FPM was added to the list of controlled substances in December 2015.[8]\nUnited Kingdom: 3-FPM is illegal to produce, supply, or import under the Psychoactive Substance Act, which came into effect on May 26th, 2016.[9]\nUnited States: 3-FPM may be considered to be an analogue of phenmetrazine, a Schedule II drug, under the Federal Analogue Act if it is intended for human consumption.[citation needed]\n3-FPM (Wikipedia)\n3-FPM (Isomer Design)\n3F-Phenmetrazine (3-FPM) (Bluelight)\nPAL-593 / 3-fluorophenmetrazine (3-FPM) (Drugs Forum)\n\u2191 Kalant, Oriana Josseau (1966).

        "raw_content": "The US Has The Potential To Create A Carbon-Capture Network, But It Hinges On Funding By New Tax Credits\nResearchers recently released an article that suggests the development of a pipeline network to enable the United States to capture, utilize, and store greater amounts of Carbon, reducing the amount of CO2 released into the environment. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper proposes a pipeline network that can transfer carbon dioxide from ethanol refineries across the American Midwest.\nThe article, written by Ryan W. J. Edwards and Michael A. Celia of the Civil and Environmental Engineering department at Princeton University, focuses on the need for government financing of their proposed project. With the government financing 50% of the pipelines, they estimate that nearly 19 million tons of carbon dioxide per year could be captured and transported at a profit.\n\u201cWithout government finance, we find that a network earning commercial rates of return would not be viable,\u201d wrote Edwards and Celia.\nFigure of colocated sources of CO2, existing CO2 pipelines, and potential saline storage capacities. Image by Ryan Edwards, Princeton University\nThe tax credit that was recently passed by Congress in the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 initially gave the authors the motivation to propose their pipeline network, and suggest that the new tax credits are one of the most significant policies incentivizing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS).\nThe UN\u2019s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented computer-model-generated scenarios that suggested that reducing carbon emissions could reduce global temperatures from rising and maintain a goal of keeping the planet\u2019s average temperature within 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. This threshold was further established in the Paris Climate Agreement.\nEdwards and Celia decided to focus on ethanol biorefineries, because the excess gas produced is 99 percent carbon dioxide, and ethanol refineries in the Midwest produce 43 million metric tons of carbon dioxide.\nHowever, the construction of new pipelines has been a controversial topic for years. Fatality statistics from 2005 through 2009 state that oil pipelines are roughly 70 times as safe as oil trucks, which are more likely to be involved in car accidents, but pipeline failure poses disastrous environmental consequences. It was estimated that more than 3.1 million gallons of hazardous liquid per year were spilled from pipelines between 2008 and 2012.\nTony Iallonardo of the National Wildlife Federation told ProRepublica, \u201cIt\u2019s inevitable that as pipelines age, as they are exposed to the elements, eventually they are going to spill. They\u2019re ticking time bombs.\u201d\nMost notably, an ExxonMobil pipeline carrying Canadian oil sands through Mayflower, Arkansas, broke and spilled an estimated 210,000 gallons of Canadian crude oil onto the homes of 29 people. Reporters who covered the incident were threatened with arrest because Exxon wanted to release the daily updates covering the spill.\n\u2190 Due To Recent Flood Events, Coal Ash Has Escaped Into The North Carolina Landscape \u2014 What Environmental Impact Has It Had?\nFEMA Chief Brock Long Is Facing Charges Detailing Misuse Of Government Vehicles, And People Are Mad \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Days later I was chatting \u2014 typing \u2014 with one of the guys, War Wager. I had maybe 40 friends in my extended series of underground circles, out of several hundred in and around the greater group at any time, but there were only maybe ten or twelve who I\u2019d met in person. Maybe two of them knew my real name. War Wager was not one of them, though I\u2019d met him, and I liked him.\n\u201cHow was the party the other day?\u201d I typed.\n\u201cCan you talk?\u201d he asked. We got on the phone.\n\u201cCrazy,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was crazy. Hulk\u2019s sister, man, you wouldn\u2019t believe it. You really should\u2019ve been there.\u201d Wendy\u2019s brother, Mark, called himself Hulk.\n\u201cWhat happened? Was she horrible?\u201d\n\u201cSo\u2026is she really big?\u201d I thought back to the girl down the street. \u201cOr\u2014\u201d\n\u201cNo, no, no, not that kind of bad. Just\u2026almost gross. She was all over X-Man, and I know you haven\u2019t met him but he\u2019s thin, nerdy, nothing special. I mean, I\u2019m basically just some dude, and if it was me she was hanging on to I wouldn\u2019t have complained, but all this guy\u2019s got going for him\u2014\u201d\n\u201cDude. Listen to me. She was hot, dude. Like, fifteen with a whisper, and crazy, crazy hot \u2014 she could\u2019ve said she was nineteen and I\u2019d have believed it. And not slutty hot, even with how she was acting. Just crazy hot. That smile, man \u2014 I ain\u2019t seen nothing like it. Her parents keep her under lock and key, but she seems to find a way, man.\u201d\n\u201cYou must be kidding me. X-Man?!\u201d I had no respect for the guy because of his handle. He always said it had nothing to do with The X-Men, the comic book, but they\u2019d been putting them out for twenty years at that point, so come on. If he\u2019d used the name of one of the characters \u2014 like Wolverine or Cyclops \u2014 then fine, it\u2019s uncreative, though we were pirating software and not filing for trademarks. But there was never even an X-Man in The X-Men. It made him sound like an idiot.\n\u201cHe\u2019s 21, you know, right?\u201d he said.\n\u201cOh, shit, of course.\u201d That was the new drinking age in Texas at the time. I didn\u2019t like the idea of drinking, so it never figured into my equations, even though Frank had offered to buy me beer on numerous occasions, to the point of being disappointed when I didn\u2019t take him up on it. One time, we stopped by the grocery store and I had him buy me some wine coolers. He seriously questioned whether I knew what I was doing, and I explained that I\u2019d be seeing some girls that night and that as an older guy maybe he didn\u2019t know that girls dug wine coolers. His eyes got wide and he nodded, slowly, understanding. I drank one that evening and tossed the rest.\n\u201cSo he gets a pitcher of beer \u2014 Avatar was there, too; he\u2019s also 21 \u2014 and we sat in the back where they show movies and stuff, and everybody gets all chatty. X-Man especially cannot stop talking about how cool his car is, so after we finish the pitcher we go check it out.\u201d He laughed. \u201cDude fires up his car, and it dies right there: the radiator empties out into the parking lot, and something about a belt, I don\u2019t know car stuff, and we had to help him push his piece of crap car around the corner and wait with him for a tow truck. Hulk was really unhappy about how his sister was saying all kinds of sexy shit to X-Man. It was nuts.\u201d He lowered his voice. \u201cThere\u2019s something really hot about that girl, man, I\u2019m serious.\u201d\nI knew what it was. She was has-sex hot. I opted not to tell him that, which was fine because it turned out he knew already.\n\u201cSo Hulk was unhappy, but everybody finally went home, right?\u201d\n\u201cMmm, yeah, yeah.\u201d\n\u201cWhat\u2019re you not telling me?\u201d\nHe made a sound like a balloon being inflated near its breaking point. Then he said, \u201cOkay. But you can\u2019t tell anybody.\u201d To my credit, I didn\u2019t say a word about it to anyone for almost thirty years, until writing this right now. I\u2019m even mixing up names and handles a bit, just in case.\n\u201cSure,\u201d I said. \u201cI can keep a secret.\u201d\n\u201cYou gotta swear, okay? Okay. Yesterday, X-Man calls, asks me for a lift. I say sure. We stop on a street with a bunch of houses. He tells me to wait. I\u2019m like, okay, shit, I should have known, but fine, I wasn\u2019t doing anything anyway.\u201d\nHe squeezes back a laugh. \u201cI\u2019m parked on the street; all I know is he was doing something. I\u2019m high, I don\u2019t care.\u201d He paused, wondering if maybe he shouldn\u2019t have said that last part. \u201cTwenty minutes later, X-Man is scrambling out of Hulk\u2019s sister\u2019s bathroom window, with Hulk chasing after his ass! I didn\u2019t even know where Hulk lived! Dude jumps in the car and he\u2019s like, \u2018Go! Go! Go!\u2019 So I punched it. Totally Blues Brothers. X-Man\u2019s talking non-stop about, well, you know what he\u2019s talking about.\u201d\n\u201cSure,\u201d I said, heart crashing. \u201cAnd this was just yesterday?\u201d\n\u201cYep. After school, before dinner.\u201d I didn\u2019t offer that I might have been on the phone with her, right before the Great Escape. \u201cX-Man is in so much trouble,\u201d he said. \u201cHulk is gonna kill him.\u201d\n\u201cHulk smash,\u201d I agreed.\nWendy never called me again, and I hardly ever thought of her after that \u2014 maybe once or twice, here and there. When I did think of her, all I could see was dorky-assed X-Man squeezing his pitiable way out a bathroom window, and how she was no longer some random, irredeemably hot hacker girl, she was someone\u2019s little sister. After that, I only went out with girls who were older than me or who were older sisters, with one big, ill-fated and hard exception.\nI had moved on. I was dancing.\nLiterally, actually. Between running the system and playing Photon \u2014 and school; I always forgot about school \u2014 I had become a dancer. I know it sounds strange, but trust me: this is the only way to explain what happened next.\n\u2192 Confusion",

It stalls many middle managers who are looking to break into the executive ranks.\nOn the flip side, those who have executive presence, seem to have a mysterious quality that propels them forward. Sure, they might do great work as well, but there is capacity they seem to possess that motivates others to follow their leadership (the definition of a leader being one who has followers!) and enables their steady rise up the ranks.\nIn this blog post, I\u2019ll decode executive presence. It isn\u2019t a magical quality. It is, however, a vague term that if left unexplained will have you avoiding the inner and outer work that is necessary to continue making progress in your career. We can break down executive presence into its fundamental parts, examine them, and use these insights as a tool to zero in the particular behaviors that are present or lacking in your current day to day work.",

        "raw_content": "Typologies of suburban guardians: understanding the role of responsibility, opportunities, and routine activities in facilitating surveillance\nEmily Moir\nTimothy C. Hart\nResearch suggests that personal and situational characteristics influence how and when residents provide guardianship over where they live (Reynald in J Res Crime Delinq 47(3): 358\u2013390, 2010). However, there is limited empirical scholarship regarding what motivates residents to act as guardians and control crime in different contexts. The current study explores the role motivation and opportunity play in facilitating monitoring and intervention among potential guardians against crime in suburban Australia. Twenty semi-structured interviews with Brisbane suburban residents were conducted and suggested the existence of four typologies of suburban guardians: active, opportunistic, responsive, and non-guardians. Factors crucial to facilitating monitoring include the physical design of houses, relationships with neighbours, prior victimisation, and daily routine activities. Direct intervention is supported by feelings of responsibility and capability. Other themes found to support guardianship decision-making were also identified, and results suggest that residents supervise and monitor their street regardless of current crime rates.

        "raw_content": "Spatial legend compatibility within versus between graphs in multiple graph comprehension\nEva Riechelmann\nLynn Huestegge\nPrevious research has shown that spatial compatibility between the data region and the legend of a graph is beneficial for comprehension. However, in multiple graphs, data\u2013legend compatibility can come at the cost of spatial between-graph legend incompatibility. Here we aimed at determining which type of compatibility is most important for performance: global (legend\u2013legend) compatibility between graphs, or local (data\u2013legend) compatibility within graphs. Additionally, a baseline condition (incompatible) was included. Participants chose one out of several line graphs from a multiple panel as the answer to a data-related question. Compatibility type and the number of graphs per panel were varied. Whereas Experiment 1 involved simple graphs with only two lines/legend entries within each graph, Experiment 2 explored more complex graphs. The results indicated that compatibility speeds up comprehension, at least when a certain threshold of graph complexity is exceeded. Furthermore, we found evidence for an advantage of local over global data\u2013legend compatibility under specific conditions. Taken together, the results further support the idea that compatibility principles strongly determine the ease of integration processes in graph comprehension and should thus be considered in multiple-panel design.\nSpatial compatibility Graph comprehension Multiple panel Display design Visual complexity\nThe original version of this article was revised: In the original article the authors\u2019 names were mistakenly included in the article title.\nThe omnipresence of graphs\nGraphs have become omnipresent across a wide range of contexts in our everyday life (Purchase, 2014; Shah, Freedman, & Vekiri, 2005; Zacks, Levy, Tversky, & Schiano, 2002). Especially in the scientific world, they are a key ingredient for disseminating statements in a compact and yet powerful way. If well designed, graphs are a convenient way to communicate data, with many advantages over textual presentation (Larkin & Simon, 1987). These advantages include portraying complex data and relationships in an easy and understandable way, reducing reading time by presenting key findings in a readily visible manner, and reducing the overall word count (Franzblau & Chung, 2012). Given the omnipresence and potential effectiveness of graph usage, it is unfortunate that some graphs do not live up to their potential due to poor construction.\nEarly graph design guidelines often relied on common sense, positing plausible principles without strong empirical evidence (Bertin, 1983; Schmid & Schmid, 1979; Tufte, 1983). Over the years, however, graph comprehension theories have been backed up by empirical data (e.g., Carpenter & Shah, 1998; Cleveland & McGill, 1984; Pinker, 1990), and subsequent research has empirically addressed specific aspects of graph design. This resulted in various empirically informed design guidelines (Franzblau & Chung, 2012; Hollands & Spence, 1998; Kosslyn, 1994, 2006; Kumar & Benbasat, 2004; Shah & Carpenter, 1995; Shah & Hoeffner, 2002; Wickens, Hollands, Banbury, & Parasuraman, 2013), including guidelines for specific scientific disciplines (see, e.g., American Psychological Association, 2010, for psychological research). Note that these guidelines have mainly focused on the design of single graphs.\nOne example of a powerful display design principle is the well-known proximity compatibility principle (PCP) (Wickens & Carswell, 1995), which states that similarity (perceptual proximity) of graph elements fosters integration processes (processing proximity). The concept of similarity can refer to perceptual attributes (e.g., color and texture) as well as to absolute spatial position (Gillan, Wickens, Hollands, & Carswell, 1998; Wickens et al., 2013). The principle of compatibility is a concept related to the PCP. It is a common psychological principle with a long research tradition (e.g., Proctor & Vu, 2006), which is often referred to when designing effective graphs (Kosslyn, 2006) in terms of its benefits for performance\u2014reflected, for example, in decreased error rates and/or response times (e.g., Hommel & Prinz, 1997; Huestegge & Philipp, 2011). Compatibility, as we refer to it in the present study, describes the degree to which the components of different elements in a display (i.e., stimulus\u2013stimulus [S\u2013S] compatibility) are spatially interrelated (Fitts & Simon, 1952; Proctor & Vu, 2006).\nHuestegge and Philipp (2011) addressed S\u2013S compatibility in graph comprehension by investigating the influence of spatially compatible versus incompatible data\u2013legend relations. A facilitation of graph comprehension in terms of faster response times (RTs) and higher accuracy for spatially compatible (vs. incompatible) data\u2013legend relations was revealed when judging the correspondence of a graph with a previously displayed statement. For example, participants were faster when reading a graph in which the upper data line was black and the upper legend entry also referred to this black line. Furthermore, it has been shown that the compatibility effect scales up with increasing complexity, in terms of both data pattern complexity (i.e., stimuli depicting interactions instead of main effects) and visual graph complexity (i.e., high vs. low amounts of data depicted within a graph). With this finding, the authors extended the original claim of the PCP, since they demonstrated that display proximity can also refer to relative spatial proximity, in terms of the relative position of elements in the legend and data regions. This finding is informative for theories of graph comprehension.\nTheories of graph comprehension\nAmong others (e.g., Cleveland & McGill, 1984; Kosslyn, 1989; Lohse, 1993; Pinker, 1990; Simkin & Hastie, 1987), Carpenter and Shah (1998) introduced an influential, empirically informed model of graph comprehension. They proposed a multicycle, three-stage processing model. Every cycle starts with a pattern recognition phase, devoted to the encoding of visual patterns by forming visual chunks. An interpretation phase involves retrieving and constructing qualitative and quantitative meaning from the chunk (e.g., associating an ascending line with increase), and finally, an integration phase relates these meanings to the semantic referents inferred from legend, labels, and titles. Thus, to facilitate the process of information integration, the comprehensibility of the legend (and/or label and title) should be maximized. The model\u2019s assumption of a multicycle process was empirically supported by corresponding eye fixation patterns (i.e., frequent gaze transitions between elements of the graph). The importance of information integration processes for graph comprehension has been further supported by other studies (e.g., Ratwani, Trafton, & Boehm-Davis, 2008). Huestegge and Philipp (2011) addressed integration processes with special interest regarding the integration of elements of the data region and the legend by manipulating the spatial compatibility between these elements (spatially compatible vs. incompatible data\u2013legend relations). Corresponding eyetracking data showed a decrease of gaze transitions between the data region and the legend in data\u2013legend-compatible conditions, suggesting that data\u2013legend compatibility facilitates integration processes in graph comprehension.\nHowever, there is a substantial lack of empirically backed knowledge regarding the design of multiple panels. Multiple panels are widely used in all fields of science and refer to the combined presentation of several graphs showing (closely) related, yet different, sets of data (Wickens et al., 2013). Many research guidelines lack any recommendations for the design of multiple panels (e.g., American Psychological Association, 2010), or mention this issue only vaguely (e.g., Coghill & Garson, 2006). Given the obvious advantages and widespread use of multiple panels (Kosslyn, 2006), this is highly surprising. Hence, in the present study we aimed to focus on one specific open issue, namely spatial legend compatibility, that we consider relevant to maximizing the efficiency of information integration processes in multiple-panel graphs.\nThe central starting point of the present study was the consideration of two different, but equally plausible, design options for multiple-panel line graphs, with respect to compatibility within elements in the data and legend regions and between legends. First, optimizing each individual graph of the multiple panels (along the lines of Huestegge & Philipp, 2011), and thus applying the principle of data\u2013legend compatibility (i.e., within-graph compatibility), would lead to local optimality, whereas global between-graph legend incompatibility might occur\u2014given sufficient variability in the data presented (see Fig. 1a). Second, it is possible to achieve global (i.e., between-graph) legend compatibility, but at the cost of potential local data\u2013legend incompatibility in several graphs of the multiple panels (see Fig. 1b). Where Kosslyn (2006) argued in favor of the concept of within-graph compatibility, Andre and Wickens (1992) considered global compatibility (albeit in the context of human\u2013machine interface design) as an important design feature. The goal of the present study was to put the competing compatibility principles to an empirical test by comparing the effects of both kinds of compatibility (pitted against an incompatible baseline condition) on graph comprehension processes. Specifically, spatial compatibility was manipulated by changing the order of the legend entries relative to the data region.\nExamples of the multiple panels used in (a) Experiment 1 (example for the local, within-graph-compatible condition) and (b) Experiment 2 (example for the global, between-graph-compatible condition). The original graphs were presented in the German language\nWe also addressed the issue of panel size (number of graphs in a panel: two vs. six) in the present experiments, because several studies have shown that spatial compatibility effects scale up with visual complexity (Huestegge & Philipp, 2011; Ratwani et al., 2008). These previous findings indicated that at a certain threshold of complexity, the likelihood of observing adverse effects of incompatibility is increased (Carpenter & Shah, 1998; Ratwani et al., 2008), probably due to the limits of working memory capacity.\nFurthermore, the presentation order of the compatibility conditions (blocked vs. random) was varied for two reasons. First, it appears reasonable to assume that compatibility effects could become more pronounced when trials are presented in blocks as compared to a random presentation order, since in blocked conditions participants might learn to take advantage of the particular type of compatibility over the course of a block. Second, the blocked-design condition allows for a separate analysis of initial performance (i.e., performance in the first block of a particular compatibility condition, without having experienced any other compatibility conditions) versus total performance averaged across the experiment. We considered such an analysis of initial performance relevant because it best represents the rather spontaneous encounter with a single (nonchanging) type of graph design in everyday life. In contrast, we anticipated that the repeated processing of graphs with varying types of legend arrangements (in the random sequence, or across all blocks in the blocked sequence) might yield a special processing strategy in order to cope with all types of legend arrangements encountered throughout the experiment, eventually yielding potentially diluted effects of compatibility.\nOn the basis of the aforementioned research indicating that graph complexity plays a major role regarding the presence/size of spatial compatibility effects in graph comprehension, we additionally ran Experiment 2, in which the complexity within each graph was increased by using line graphs with four (vs. two in Exp. 1) lines/legend entries per graph. Thus, we examined visual complexity in our study in two ways: namely, regarding panel complexity (within each experiment) and regarding graph complexity (across experiments).\nTaken together, we predicted that both between- and within-graph compatibility would facilitate graph processing, and that such compatibility effects should scale up with visual complexity. Thus, we expected to find more substantial evidence for compatibility effects in Experiment 2 than in Experiment 1, and a stronger compatibility effect for larger panels (containing six graphs) than for smaller panels (containing two graphs). Regarding the two types of compatibility, we reasoned that especially for larger panels, in which working memory limits (Baddeley, 1983; Baddeley & Hitch, 1974) should strongly constrain any integrated or parallel processing of multiple graphs due to the greater number of graphs to be processed, within-graph compatibility should yield better performance than between-graph legend compatibility. In within-graph-compatible arrangements, we assumed that graph readers would automatically generate expectations regarding the (spatial) data region layout when they encoded the legend, and that meeting these expectations might promote integration processes (Huestegge & Philipp, 2011).\nIn Experiment 1, we examined legend compatibility in simple multiple panels\u2014that is, panels in which each graph consisted of only two lines/legend entries. Every graph within the multiple panels consisted of two parts: the data region and the legend, which was placed at the center right of the data region. To manipulate compatibility, we varied the order of the legend entries. In within-graph-compatible multiple panels, the order of the graph lines corresponded to the order of the legend entries in each graph of the multiple panels. Between-graph compatibility was obtained by maintaining a constant legend order for every graph of the multiple panels. There was no spatial match\u2014neither between data region and legend nor between several legends\u2014in incompatible multiple panels.\nTwenty-five university students (20 women, five men; age range: 20\u201329 years; M = 23.25, SE = 0.51) participated in the experiment and received credit points. One participant was excluded due to low accuracy (see the Results and discussion section for details). All of the remaining 24 participants reported normal or corrected-to-normal vision and had basic prior experience with statistics (e.g., due to statistics classes, work as a research assistant, or in the context of writing an empirical thesis). They gave informed consent. A power analysis using G*Power (Faul, Erdfelder, Lang, & Buchner, 2007), based on the very large observed effect sizes (regarding compatibility effects on RTs in line graphs) in the study of Huestegge and Philipp (2011), indicated that a sample size of four participants was sufficient to observe a spatial compatibility effect (power = .95, \u03b1 = .05). Nevertheless, we opted for a larger sample size of n = 12 for each group, since we could not be sure that the compatibility effects in the present study could be expected to be as large as those in Huestegge and Philipp\u2019s study.\nEach trial consisted of the simultaneous presentation of several graphs (generated with Microsoft Excel), together forming multiple panels (consisting of either two or six graphs of equal size; see Fig. 2). There was a horizontal distance of 3.1\u00b0 of visual angle between two graphs and a vertical distance of 0.9\u00b0 between each of the three graphs in the six-graph panel.\nSpatial arrangement of graphs in multiple panels consisting of two (left) or six (right) graphs\nThe size of each graph amounted to 9.2\u00b0 \u00d7 8.1\u00b0 of visual angle (width \u00d7 height). All graphs were black-and-white line graphs consisting of two uncrossed black lines each. The graphs depicted main effects and/or interactions, with both types of effects being represented within each of the multiple panels. The data point markers were black or white circles. Each legend (1.8\u00b0\u20132.5\u00b0 \u00d7 1.5\u00b0 of visual angle, depending on legend\u2019s content) was placed to the right of the data region (5.5\u00b0\u20136.3\u00b0 \u00d7 5.7\u00b0, depending on the legend\u2019s size) and contained two entries, each consisting of a data marker (black/white circle) and a verbal label. The spatial separation between legend and data amounted to 0.3\u00b0, and the title and the data region were separated by 0.6\u00b0 (see Fig. 1a).\nTo increase generalizability, we generated graphs (identical in design) covering three different topics (fictional dependent variables). These variables were represented on the y-axis: namely screen viewing time, life satisfaction, and learning outcome. These measures were plotted as a function of three independent variables. First, the x-axis referred to a dichotomous variable and was more or less related to age, thereby following the recommendation of Wickens et al. (2013) to place a (quasi-)quantitative variable on the x-axis of line graphs. The two lines in the graph represented the second independent variable, defined through the legend. The third variable was also categorical and was presented above the data region, thus also representing a graph title (see Fig. 1a).\nWe designed two basic multiple-panel figures per each of the three topics: a two-graph multiple-panel figure, and a six-graph multiple-panel figure. These six basic multiple panels served as templates, and each multiple panel was designed with both spatially compatible (within-graph- and between-graph-compatible) and incompatible legends, resulting in 18 multiple panels. In between-graph-compatible multiple panels, the order of the black and white data point markers in the legend (e.g., black markers in upper position/white markers in lower position) was counterbalanced across trials.\nNote that due to the restriction of depicting only two lines (i.e., graphs with two legend entries), it was not possible to create between-graph-compatible panels that did not involve some individual graphs with compatible data\u2013legend arrangements (here, half of the graphs per panel). For example, when using a constant \u201cblack above white marker\u201d legend, half of the graphs in the panel also contained \u201cblack above white line\u201d data (otherwise, all data regions would have been arranged in the same manner, which would be unlikely in real data sets as well as an uninteresting case for the present research question). Thus, global (between-graph) compatibility here was characterized by the absence of consistent local (within-graph) compatibility, not by the absence of any local compatibility.\nEach trial consisted of the simultaneous presentation of a question (white font on black background), extending over seven to ten text lines (10\u00b0 horizontally), and the multiple panels (see Fig. 1a for an example). For every question, there was a single correct answer, which corresponded to (the title of) one specific graph of the multiple panels (e.g., \u201cFor what kind of learning support is the learning outcome for the subject mathematics higher than that for the subject English?\u201d\u2014correct answer: \u201cextra tuition\u201d for two-graph multiple panels; \u201cFor what kind of learning support in high school is the learning outcome for the subject English most superior to the learning outcome for the subject mathematics?\u201d\u2014correct answer: \u201ctutoring in small groups\u201d for six-graph multiple panels). Half of the questions (for both two-graph and six-graph multiple panels) were designed to ask for main effects, and the other half to ask for simple main effects (considering the two temporal categories of the x-axis each as reference points). The questions always relied on vertical spatial terms (e.g., higher/lower) to indicate the task. We generated four questions for each of the three topics (screen viewing time, life satisfaction, and learning outcome) and for each kind of multiple panel (two-graph and six-graph multiple panels), resulting in 24 questions in total. Each of the 24 questions was combined with the corresponding graph (regarding the topic and number of graphs within the multiple panels) in its three different compatibility condition versions, resulting in 72 experimental trials in total.\nApparatus, task, and procedure\nThe text and figures were presented centered on a 19-in. TFT screen (1,280 \u00d7 1,024 pixels) at a viewing distance of approximately 57 cm. A standard keyboard and a computer mouse were available as input devices for the participants. The experiment was run using the PsychoPy presentation software (Peirce, 2007).\nBefore the single-session experiment (about 30 min) started, participants read a visual instruction (white font on a black background) and underwent four practice trials to familiarize themselves with the task. Each trial started with a white fixation cross (0.5\u00b0 \u00d7 0.5\u00b0) on a black screen, presented for 1 s and placed on the left side of the screen (see Fig. 3). After a 2-s black screen interval, the question and the multiple panel were presented simultaneously, with the question located at the position of the prior fixation cross and the multiple panel on the right side of the screen. With the onset of question and multiple panel, the mouse cursor appeared at the center of the multiple panel to ensure equal starting positions for each trial. Participants were asked to indicate (with a left mouse click) as quickly and accurately as possible the specific graph representing the correct answer. There was no implemented time limit for the answer. Each trial contained only one correct option to answer the question. After each click, performance feedback was provided for 1 s. The assignment of the correct answer to a position within the multiple panel was equally distributed across trials. For half of the participants, the trials were presented in a fully randomized order. For the other half, compatibility type (within-graph compatibility, between-graph compatibility, incompatible) was manipulated block-wise (six blocks altogether), with the block order being fully counterbalanced across participants.\nSchematic representation of a trial: After the presentation of a black screen with a white fixation cross, a question and a multiple panel appeared simultaneously on the screen. After the participant\u2019s response (a mouse click on the corresponding graph representing the answer), performance feedback was provided. Per each compatibility condition (incompatible, between-graph compatible, within-graph compatible), 24 trials were presented, resulting in 72 trials altogether. Note that the mouse cursor is enlarged in this figure for the sake of visibility. In the actual experiment, the cursor was of default size, and there was no overlap between the cursor and any of the graphs\nDesign and data analysis\nCompatibility (incompatibility vs. between-graph compatibility vs. within-graph compatibility, within-subjects variable), number of graphs (two vs. six graphs within the multiple panels, within-subjects variable), and context (random vs. blocked presentation of compatibility groups, between-subjects variable) served as independent variables. Corresponding three-way mixed analyses of variance (ANOVAs; \u03b1 = .05 throughout) were conducted to analyze performance (RTs and error rates). Additionally, we assessed initial performance on the first block of trials in the blocked-presentation group (see the introduction for details) with two-way ANOVAs, treating compatibility as a between-subjects variable. In the case of sphericity violations, Greenhouse\u2013Geisser corrections were applied.\nOutliers were calculated on the basis of correct trials and defined as trials with exceedingly long RTs (three SDs above the mean per participant, corresponding to 20 trials in total across all participants). These outliers, together with practice trials, were omitted from further analysis. Additionally, participants with very high error rates (three SDs above the mean, amounting to a cutoff value of 17.41%) or who lacked above-chance performance in at least one cell of the design were excluded (corresponding to one participant). In both the initial performance analysis and the global performance analysis, participants on average performed significantly better (in terms of faster RTs and fewer errors) when the multiple panels consisted of two (vs. six) graphs, F(1, 9) = 43.27, p < .001, \u03b7p2 = .83, and F(1, 9) = 36.00, p < .001, \u03b7p2 = .80, respectively, for RTs and errors in initials performance analysis, and F(1, 22) = 276.56, p < .001, \u03b7p2 = .93, and F(1, 22) = 101.74, p < .001, \u03b7p2 = .82, respectively, for RTs and errors in global performance analysis.\nInitial performance analysis\nThe two-way ANOVA with number of graphs as a within-subjects variable and compatibility as a group variable revealed a significant effect of compatibility neither on RTs, F(2, 9) = 2.60, p = .128, \u03b7p2 = .37, nor on error rates, F < 1. For both RTs and error rates, the number of graphs did not significantly interact with compatibility, both Fs < 1.\nGlobal performance analysis\nRTs were submitted to a three-way ANOVA with compatibility and number of graphs as within-subjects variables, and context as group variable. We observed no significant main effect of compatibility, F(2, 44) = 1.29, p = .285, \u03b7p2 = .06, and no significant main effect of context, F < 1 (see Fig. 4a). Furthermore, none of the two-way interactions were significant, all Fs < 1. However, the three-way interaction was significant, F(2, 44) = 3.49, p = .039, \u03b7p2 = .14, indicating that compatibility had a different effect in the blocked (vs. the random) context, especially in the six-graph condition. However, when we conducted pairwise post-hoc t tests between the compatibility conditions, none of the comparisons approached significance, all ps > .10.\nMeans and standard errors (SEs) for (a) response times (RTs, in seconds) and (b) error rates (in percentages) in Experiment 1, as a function of spatial compatibility (incompatible, between-graph compatible, within-graph compatible) between the data region and/or the legends, as well as presentation context (random vs. blocked context) for the judgment of multiple panels depicting two or six graphs\nThe mean overall error rate amounted to 9.20% (SE = 0.58). The main effect of compatibility on error rates was not significant, F < 1 (see Fig. 4b). None of the interactions revealed significant effects\u2014neither the interaction of compatibility and context nor that of number of graphs and context (both Fs < 1), nor the three-way interaction, F(2, 44) = 1.18, p = .316, \u03b7p2 = .07. Only the interaction of compatibility and number of graphs was marginally significant, F(2, 44) = 2.97, p = .062, \u03b7p2 = .09. We decided to follow up on this marginal interaction by computing pairwise comparisons between the compatibility conditions. In the two-graph condition, the within-graph-compatible condition differed significantly from the incompatible condition, p = .009, whereas none of the remaining comparisons (including those in the six-graph condition) approached significance, all ps > .10. These results suggest that (specifically within-graph) compatibility tended to reduce error rates in the two-graph condition, but there clearly was no such tendency in the six-graph condition.\nIn sum, Experiment 1 revealed the expected result that graph comprehension is quicker and more accurate when the number of graphs depicted in the multiple panels is low. However, there was only sparse evidence (in terms of a fewer errors for within-graph-compatible designs in the two-graph condition) for a beneficial effect of spatial legend compatibility.\nProbably this lack of a clear performance advantage for compatible relative to incompatible graphs in Experiment 1 can be attributed to the fact that the individual graphs within each panel were all rather simple, consisting of only two lines and legend entries. A reason for not finding performance differences between the two compatibility conditions may be that in the between-graph-compatible condition, half of the individual graphs per panel were still data\u2013legend compatible (due to the restriction of depicting only two lines; see the Method section), which may have reduced the actual difference in design between the two compatibility options.\nThe explanation that the lack of clear effects could have been due to the lack of individual graph complexity corresponds to previous findings showing strongly attenuated (or absent) data\u2013legend compatibility effects in single-graph panels with simple (two-line) graphs, whereas much stronger effects emerged for more complex graphs consisting of more than two lines (Huestegge & Philipp, 2011). To explicitly test this explanation, we conducted Experiment 2, which involved more complex graphs consisting of four (instead of two) lines per graph.\nIn Experiment 2, we focused on visually complex graphs (e.g., graphs depicting more data) by raising the number of lines and legend entries for each graph from two to four. On the basis of previous research suggesting that legend compatibility effects scale up with graph complexity, we reasoned that we should observe clearer compatibility effects in Experiment 2 than in Experiment 1, as well as stronger compatibility effects for large (vs. small) panels.\nWe recruited 26 new participants. Due to low accuracy (see the Results and discussion section for details), the data of only 24 participants (21 female, three men; age range: 18\u201328 years, M = 22.67, SE = 2.76) were finally analyzed. All participants reported normal or corrected-to-normal vision and had basic prior experience with statistics (similar to the sample in Exp. 1).\nStimuli, apparatus, task, procedure, and design\nThe apparatus, task, procedure, and design were the same as in Experiment 1. Only the line graph stimuli differed. On the basis of the data material of Experiment 1, we created two additional legend entries per each graph in Experiment 2, thereby increasing visual complexity.\nAs a consequence of the additional legend entries, the legend\u2019s height increased to 2.9\u00b0, as compared to 1.5\u00b0 in Experiment 1, but the other graph dimensions remained constant. In addition to the circular data point markers from Experiment 1, we used black and white triangles as data markers (Fig. 1b). We maintained the global tendency of the data pattern used in Experiment 1, but to avoid any ambiguity in answering the questions in Experiment 2, single data points had to be altered within the graphs taken from Experiment 1. We also slightly altered the questions, to incorporate the additional legend entries as correct answers and to avoid any ambiguity regarding the answers, but the types of questions remained unchanged.\nUnlike in Experiment 1, there were several possible options for implementing the incompatibility and between-graph compatibility manipulations in Experiment 2, thus requiring some additional specifications. For the incompatible condition, we randomly selected two versions for each multiple panel (two-graph and six-graph multiple panels for each topic) out of all possible versions with incompatible legend arrangements. Thus, neither between-legend compatibility nor any individual data\u2013legend compatibility was present in this condition.\nDue to the presence of four legend entries in each graph, it was (unlike in Exp. 1) not necessary to design panels in the between-graph-compatible condition that also contained many individual data\u2013legend-compatible graphs. However, we considered it more realistic (to ensure generalizability to real-world data contexts) to include one data\u2013legend-compatible graph in each between-graph-compatible panel. Thus, similar to Experiment 1, between-graph compatibility was defined in terms of the absence of consistent (not of any) within-graph compatibility. Again, the assignment of the correct answer to a position within the multiple panels was equally distributed across trials.\nOutliers were defined in the same way as in Experiment 1. Altogether, 26 trials across all participants were excluded due to exceedingly long RTs, and two participants were excluded because of low accuracy (the cutoff value amounted to an error rate of 26.39%). In both the initial and global performance analyses, RTs and error rates were higher for multiple panels depicting six graphs than for multiple panels depicting two graphs, F(1, 9) = 228.63, p < .001, \u03b7p2 = .96, and F(1, 9) = 9.59, p = .013, \u03b7p2 = .52, respectively, for RTs and error rates in the initial performance analysis, and F(1, 22) = 252.40, p < .001, \u03b7p2 = .92, and F(1, 22) = 19.41, p < .001, \u03b7p2 = .47, respectively, for RTs and errors in the global performance analysis.\nWe found a significant main effect of compatibility on RTs, F(2, 9) = 10.55, p = .004, \u03b7p2 = .70 (see Fig. 5). On average, RTs were longest for the incompatibility condition (M = 27.63 s, SE = 1.51), followed by the between-graph compatibility condition (M = 23.26 s, SE = 1.51) and the within-graph compatibility condition (M = 17.86 s, SE = 1.51). The interaction of compatibility and number of graphs was also significant, F(2, 9) = 4.99, p = .035, \u03b7p2 = .53, revealing a larger influence of compatibility on RTs in the six-graph than in the two-graph condition. In the two-graph condition, pairwise follow-up comparisons showed that RTs were significantly longer in the incompatible condition than in the within-graph-compatible condition, p = .004, whereas marginally significant differences were found between the incompatible and the between-graph-compatible, p = .089, as well as between the between-graph- and within-graph-compatible conditions, p = .084. In the six-graph condition, RTs were also significantly longer in the incompatible condition than in the within-graph-compatible condition, p = .002, and marginally significant differences were obtained between the incompatible and the between-graph-compatible conditions, p = .090. Crucially, RTs were also significantly different between the between-graph- and the within-graph-compatible conditions, p = .029, yielding faster RTs for the within-graph-compatible condition.\nMean RTs (in seconds) and SEs in the initial performance analysis of Experiment 2, as a function of spatial compatibility (incompatible, between-graph compatible, within-graph compatible) between the data region and/or the legends, for the judgment of multiple panels depicting two or six graphs. Asterisks and daggers indicate the significance levels of two-tailed paired t tests. **p < .01, *p < .05, \u2020 p < .10\nRegarding error rates, we observed neither a significant main effect of compatibility, F(2, 9) = 1.38, p = .301, \u03b7p2 = .23, nor a significant interaction of compatibility and number of graphs, F < 1.\nThe results of the initial performance analysis in Experiment 2 indicated a strong general advantage of compatible designs for graph comprehension, which was particularly pronounced for within-graph-compatible designs in multiple panels of greater visual complexity (i.e., in the six-graph condition). Note that these effects were significant despite the relatively small sample size (N = 12) underlying this particular analysis.\nRegarding RTs, we observed a marginally significant main effect of compatibility, F(2, 44) = 2.95, p = .063, \u03b7p2 = .12 (see Fig. 6a). Pairwise post-hoc t tests revealed that incompatible designs (M = 19.54 s, SE = 1.20) elicited larger RTs than did within-graph-compatible designs (M = 17.54 s, SE = 0.69), p = .020. There were no significant differences between incompatible designs and between-graph-compatible designs (M = 18.26 s, SE = 0.96), as well as between the two compatible designs, both ps > .10. We found no significant RT effect of context, F < 1, nor did any of the interactions reach significance, all Fs < 1.\nMeans and SEs for (a) RTs (in seconds) and (b) error rates (in percentages) in the global performance analysis of Experiment 2, as a function of spatial compatibility (incompatible, between-graph compatible, within-graph compatible) between the data region and/or the legends, as well as presentation context (random vs. blocked context) for the judgment of multiple panels depicting two or six graphs\nThe mean overall error rate amounted to 6.98% (SE = 0.97). We detected no significant effect of compatibility on error rates, F(2, 44) = 1.11, p = .339, \u03b7p2 = .05 (see Fig. 6b). Also, the main effect of context on error rates was not significant, F < 1, nor were the interactions of compatibility and context and of compatibility and number of graphs, both Fs < 1. The interaction of context and number of graphs was only marginally significant, F(1, 22) = 3.56, p = .072, \u03b7p2 = .14.\nNote that between-graph compatibility elicited worse initial performance than did within-graph compatibility, despite the fact that the former condition also contained one data\u2013legend-compatible graph per panel (see the Method section). Therefore, the relative disadvantage of between-graph compatibility might even be slightly more pronounced in situations that lacked any within-graph compatibility in a panel.\nIn sum, the global performance analysis of Experiment 2 tended to confirm the superiority of data\u2013legend-compatible graph design over incompatible design. However, as compared to the initial performance analysis, the compatibility effect was only marginally significant and was considerably smaller. Given that the difference in visual graph complexity between experiments was additionally associated with differences in other design features (e.g., visual clutter, data:ink ratio), we did not consider a direct comparison of data across experiments.\nThe aim of the present study was to investigate legend compatibility effects on graph comprehension in multiple panels on the basis of performance measures. We manipulated spatial compatibility between the data region and the legend, in terms of either global (legend\u2013legend) or local (data\u2013legend) compatibility. The influence of visual complexity was addressed in two ways: within experiments, by manipulating the number of graphs depicted within a panel, and between experiments, by manipulating the amount of data (and legend entries) within each graph of the panel. We also considered potential effects of presentation context by varying the order of the stimulus presentation, and we deliberately planned an analysis of initial performance before participants had been repeatedly confronted with changing types of legend design.\nOverall, the results supported our hypothesis that spatial multipanel legend compatibility speeds up integration processes in graph comprehension (Exp. 2). Importantly, the effect requires that a certain level of visual complexity emerges, since we could not find substantial effects of compatibility in Experiment 1 with relatively simple graphs (each with only two lines/legend entries). However, in Experiment 2, which involved more complex graphs, corresponding effects on RTs were present in both two-graph and six-graph panels. The assumption that compatibility effects scale with visual complexity is evident not only in the between-experiment comparison of result patterns but also in Experiment 2, in which compatibility effects were larger for six-graph than for two-graph panels. The interaction of compatibility and visual graph complexity is in line with previous reports (Huestegge & Philipp, 2011; Ratwani et al., 2008; Shah et al., 2005), and our results further emphasize that compatibility is an important factor (beside other factors related to task type or format) that needs to be taken into account when reasoning about the issue of graph complexity (Shah et al., 2005).\nThe present results also confirmed our hypothesis that encountering an unnatural situation with many changing types of graph design throughout the experiment (in the random group as well as in the blocked group, when all blocks were considered) may trigger a special strategy (e.g., a more time-consuming strategy involving very detailed encoding of the whole legend information in order to deal with all types of compatible/incompatible graph designs), yielding diluted compatibility effects. The initial performance analysis, which is more similar to real-life encounters with multiple graph panels, was much more sensitive to compatibility effects (despite relying on fewer participants). We thus propose that the initial performance analysis was more representative of real-life performance than the full analysis of all available data, which will be important to consider in future studies of graph design and its impact on comprehension processes. As expected, both experiments showed that a greater amount of information to process (six vs. two graphs) increases the overall processing demands, an effect reflected not only in RTs but also in error rates.\nOur results bear interesting implications for the design of multiple-panel graphs. First, we advise that graph designers generally consider compatibility issues when designing multiple panels. Regarding complex multiple panels, however, it is compulsory to consider spatial data\u2013legend compatibility: Our present results generalize the previous findings of Huestegge and Philipp (2011), who also reported evidence for legend compatibility effects in single graphs that scaled up with graph complexity to multiple panels. More specifically, the initial performance analysis in Experiment 2 revealed an advantage of within-graph-compatible data\u2013legend designs over between-graph-compatible designs in multiple panels. Since this advantage was especially present in the six-graph panels, it is likely that this effect is due to serial (as opposed to parallel or integrated) processing of the individual graphs (due to working memory limitations). Specifically, participants appear to follow a graph-by-graph decoding strategy that benefits from spatial data\u2013legend compatibility within each single graph. Spatial data\u2013legend compatibility could reduce the need for mental transformations and working memory load necessary to associate the data lines with their respective meanings coded in the legend (Huestegge & Philipp, 2011). This superiority of within-graph compatibility is in line with the recommendations of Kosslyn (2006) to design each graph of multiple panels in conformity with the recommendations for that specific type of graph, suggesting a lower priority for the concept of global compatibility (Andre & Wickens, 1992) in multiple-panel graph design.\nNote that we did not find effects of compatibility on error rates, except for the marginally significant interaction in the initial performance analysis of Experiment 1. Although error rate is a well-established and sensitive measure used in the study of graph comprehension processes (e.g., K\u00f6rner, H\u00f6fler, Tr\u00f6binger, & Gilchrist, 2014; Meyer, 2000), it is possible that our setting, which did not impose any time limit for responding, together with the instruction to respond accurately, contributed to the selective effects on RTs. However, one should keep in mind that many real-life situations (e.g., attending a research presentation) provide graphs for only a limited amount of time; thus, in these situations one would expect more comprehension errors for incompatible panels.\nNote that under specific conditions (specifically, the two-graph panels in the blocked within-graph condition), it is (at least in principle) possible to adopt a strategy of finding the right answer without integrating information across graphs, simply by focusing on spatial legend position. Furthermore, it is also possible in principle to answer the questions without explicitly comparing trend patterns across the graphs in the two-graph conditions (thus minimizing the benefits of between-graph-compatible designs). However, given the overall complexity of the task in general, we think it is relatively unlikely that most participants would really adopt these particular (theoretically optimal) strategies throughout. More importantly, even if we assume that such specific strategies might have been present when processing the two-graph panels, these alternative explanations could not account for any effects in the larger panels. In general, we are confident that the specific potential processing shortcuts in the two-panel condition do not endanger our overall conclusions.\nApart from a few recommendations without strong empirical support (e.g., Kosslyn, 2006; Wickens et al., 2013), there has been a general lack of knowledge in the scientific community regarding the design of legends in multiple panels. To the best of our knowledge, our study was the first one to systematically study the role of legend compatibility in multiple panels, providing empirical evidence for the use of multipanel compatibility (specifically, local within-graph compatibility), especially when the graphs are visually complex.\nWe here analyzed RTs and error rates as objective performance measures, which is probably the most common approach in graph-processing research. However, in recent years the number of eyetracking studies focusing on integration processes in graph comprehension has increased (Huang, 2013; K\u00f6rner et al., 2014; Renshaw, Finlay, Tyfa, & Ward, 2004; Strobel, Sa\u00df, Lindner, & K\u00f6ller, 2016), which has also advanced our understanding of spatial legend compatibility effects (Huestegge & Philipp, 2011). The obvious advantage of tracking eye movements is that temporal and spatial information about how graph-readers allocate their visual attention to distinct elements in the graph (= graph-readers\u2019 strategies) can be revealed (K\u00f6rner et al., 2014), in order to more precisely pinpoint underlying processing mechanisms (e.g., Carpenter & Shah, 1998). Thus, for future studies and an extension of theories of graph comprehension to multiple panels, an eye-movement-based analysis of data\u2013legend compatibility will certainly be a promising approach to further specifying the mechanisms of compatibility effects.\nOne limitation of the present study is that we used only uncrossed line graphs, since these provided unambiguous solutions for a data\u2013legend-compatible graph design. Thus, we cannot directly draw conclusions regarding graphs with crossed lines, which will inevitably occur in real-life data. Nevertheless, and in line with the discussion of Huestegge and Philipp (2011), the order of the legend entries for crossed line graphs (with the legend on the right side) should likely be analogous to the respective order of the rightmost endpoints of the lines. These considerations are based on the Gestalt principle of proximity (Wertheimer, 1923; i.e., that proximity is the result of elements being placed close together, whereby the elements tend to be perceived as belonging together), as well as on insights from eyetracking studies (Huestegge & Philipp, 2011, who showed that participants started graph comprehension by encoding the legend, thus reading the graph from right to left). Note, however, that this prediction should be explicitly addressed in a future empirical study.\nA final limitation of the present study is that it did not consider the case of having only a single legend across multiple panels (e.g., in one of the corners of the figure; see Kosslyn, 2006). Here we did not implement such a condition because it would not have allowed us to manipulate the two types of compatibility in a controlled fashion. However, such a single legend should, with variable real-life data, nearly always result in incompatible spatial relations with most individual graphs in a figure. Thus, this design option would lose the advantage of within-graph-compatible legends, namely saving the mental transformation processes and working memory load involved with associating the data with their respective meanings. Again, this prediction should be tested explicitly in future research.\nThe present study allows us to make clear recommendations about the design of legends in multiple-panel graphs: One should avoid spatial incompatibility and, if possible, ensure local, within-graph-compatible data\u2013legend relations, since this design option yielded no performance disadvantages in simple graphs (Exp. 1), but substantial performance advantages in more complex graphs (Exp. 2). With this study, we have contributed to resolving controversy about the suitability of different types of multipanel legend compatibility in graph comprehension, even though further research will be necessary for a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Given the omnipresence of graphs in general, and of multiple panels in particular (in science and in daily life), it is highly recommended that researchers consider empirically backed-up design recommendations more seriously.\nAmerican Psychological Association.

Jackson\nNanofabrication and nanotechnology present a great challenge to engineers and researchers as they manipulate atoms and molecules to produce single artifacts and submicron components and systems. Micro and Nanomanufacturing provides a comprehensive treatment of established micro and nanofabrication techniques and addresses the needs of practicing manufacturing engineers by applying established and research laboratory manufacturing techniques to a wide variety of materials. Engineers seeking more knowledge of how nano and micro devices are designed and fabricated will learn about: Manufacturing and fabrication techniques at the micro and nanoscales; Using bulk and surface micromachining techniques, LiGA, and deep x-ray lithography to manufacture semiconductors; Producing master molds with micromachining; The deposition of thin films, pulsed water drop machining, and nanomachining. Mark J. Jackson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering Technology at Purdue University. His current research focuses on understanding the properties of materials in the field of micro scale metal cutting, micro and nano abrasive machining, and laser micro machining.",

        "raw_content": "Three essays on human capital\ndicksond25139.pdf (455.8Kb)\nDickson, Lisa Marie\nThe first essay evaluates the relationship between language skills and earnings. Unlike previous studies that analyze the relationship between English skills and earnings, this study uses both subjective measures and objective measures of English skills. The results suggest that the self-reported ability to speak English well and the self-reported ability to write English well are the most powerful predictors of earnings even when controlling for English language skills with objective measures. vi The second essay evaluates how ending affirmative action in public colleges in Texas affected the percent of minority high school graduates applying to college. I find the end of affirmative action significantly lowered the percent of Hispanic students applying to college by 1.6 percentage points and significantly lowered the percent of black students applying to college by 2.1 percentage points. The end of affirmative action in public colleges in Texas did not significantly affect the percent of white students applying to college. In 1997, the Texas state legislature passed a percent plan that guarantees students who graduate in the top ten percent of their high school class admission to any public college in Texas. The percent of minority students applying to college increased significantly when the percent plan was accompanied by changes in financial aid. The third essay evaluates wage differentials between the public sector and the private sector. This study uses employee preferences for job security and employee preferences for non-pecuniary sector characteristics to instrument for the selection of workers into each sector. The results reveal a significant wage penalty to being employed in the public sector in Bangladesh, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Norway, Poland and Switzerland. Private sector workers are significantly positively selected in 12 out of 18 countries and public sector workers in Cyprus, Germany, and Hungary are significantly negatively selected.",

        "raw_content": "Pakistan's untapped resources empowered by e-commerce boom\n\"The online platform eliminates the middleman,\" says Nasrin Samad, the entrepreneur behind the artisan brand Kai, which works with women across the region.AFP | February 28, 2016, 09:38 IST\nKai products are sold on polly & other stories (pollyandotherstories.com), which launched late in 2015 to connect traditional artisans like those in Chitral with consumers hungry for \"authentic\" products.\nISLAMABAD: In the Hindu Kush mountains craftswomen painstakingly stitch flowing scarves, skilled artisans who were unable to sell their products beyond the remote region until mobile internet came to Pakistan and dropped the market into the palms of millions of previously marginalised people.\nThe women of northern Chitral are among the unlikely profiteers of an e-commerce boom since 3G and 4G Internet arrived in the deeply conservative Muslim country in 2014, suddenly able to market and sell traditional products without leaving their villages or in some cases even their homes.\n\"The online platform eliminates the middleman,\" says Nasrin Samad, the entrepreneur behind the artisan brand Kai, which works with women across the region.\nNow, Chitrali women \"have access to a global audience,\" she says.\n\"Years of working with local community and craft groups had shown us how difficult it was for local small businesses, even the most talented, to access mainstream markets or connect with buyers, both within Pakistan and abroad,\" founder Amneh Shaikh-Farooqui told AFP.\nTo bridge the gap, says co-founder Ange Braid, the pair built a website to give \"small, creative businesses, many of them led by women or young students, the chance to market and sell\".\nOpportunities like this in a country like Pakistan are \"huge\", says Adam Dawood, head of online marketplace Kaymu.pk.\nIn the first quarter of 2015 smartphone shipments to the country soared by 123 percent, according to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority's annual report, one of the fastest growth rates in the developing world.\nBroadband subscribers have topped 26 million people, the Ministry for Information Technology said in February, with broadband penetration going from three percent to more than 15 percent.\nThe ministry cited World Bank studies showing that a 10 percent increase in high-speed internet connections can boost Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 1.38 percent, adding the arrival of broadband in Pakistan is set to have a \"very positive impact on economic growth\".\nDawood echoed the report's optimism. \"There are tremendous opportunities for everyone to start selling and buying instantly and earn money,\" he said.\nWomen are seeing the benefits, but e-commerce presents potentially an even greater opportunity for young people in a country where roughly two thirds of the population -- of around 200 million -- are estimated to be under the age of 30.\nA recent economic survey by the finance ministry singled out the challenges facing youth in Pakistan, including \"limited job search expertise, a mismatch between education, aspirations and employers' requirements and a lack of mobility, among other factors\".\nSeventeen-year-old Daniyal Admaney says he was able to defy scepticism over his youth to launch his T-shirt design business on Kaymu, however.\n\"I... thought that I should do something productive during summer vacations when I have nothing to do except getting bored and sleeping,\" he says.\nKaymu, a venture of German company Rocket Internet, which builds online start-ups, has helped launch several other e-commerce companies unique to Pakistan such as consumer goods site Daraz.pk.\nThe online marketplace launched in the country about three years ago and now boasts 3,000 transactions every day, with around 11 million unique visitors in 2015, Dawood told AFP.\nKaymu now employs some 150 people in Lahore and Karachi working with 15,000 vendors like Admaney, and has a customer base of more than 300,000 people from around the country.\nIt has also helped bring some international e-commerce sites to Pakistan, such as carpooling site Tripda and restaurant delivery site foodpanda.\nBut global giants of e-commerce such as Amazon still do not have an established presence in Pakistan, hampered by a lack of regulations and infrastructure such as a payments system, says IT expert Shahzad Ahmad.\nUnrest in the militancy-plagued country is also a factor, he says.\nThe promise of Pakistan remains enormous, he says, adding that the country's central bank \"should undertake a study on the potential of online business and also come up with clear regulatory framework so that foreign giants are attracted to tap into Pakistani e-commerce market\".\nSome hurdles are in the process of being removed already. Last year the global Financial Action Task Force removed Pakistan from its list of high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions linked to money laundering.\nFollowing the decision, the IT ministry announced in November it will ease e-commerce regulations and invite online payment giants PayPal and Alibaba to the country, where cash on delivery remains prevalent but use of debit and credit cards is growing.\nIn the meantime, ambitious Pakistanis are crowding the booming market with their own, localised, and in many cases successful products.\nLaunching an online business allows Nosheen Kashif, a former banker who quit her job to raise her family, to remain a housewife even as she launches an online jewellery selling business.\n\"The scope of selling online is nationwide,\" she says.\nPayPal opens innovation labs in India\nPaytm likely to begin due diligence for Freecharge in a cut-price deal\nPayPal, Google team up for digital wallet\nMNCs, startups train staff in tackling terror, crime\nTags : E-commerce, E-tailing, Paypal, Pakistan, Online shopping, Foodpanda, Amazon, Alibaba",

(Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)\nTottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino praised Hugo Lloris following his impressive performance in their 3-1 win over Leicester City.\nThe French keeper was at his very best today at Wembley after pulling off a string of big saves, which included denying Jamie Vardy\u2019s penalty-kick, to help Spurs secure a fourth successive Premier League win.\nSpeaking after the match, Pochettino heaped special praise on his captain who at times has been questioned this season following a sluggish start to the season.\n\u201cI think we are talking about one of the best keepers in the world, with a lot of experience and having played a lot of games here at Tottenham,\u201d said Pochettino, according to Football London.\n\u201cI think he\u2019s showing his value and of course in the decisive moments like today I think it was so important to help the team achieve the three points.\n\u201cOf course, his quality is there and we cannot doubt that.\u201d\nDavinson Sanchez opened the scoring for Spurs in the game after being set-up by Christian Eriksen in the 33rd-minute before the Danish playmaker doubled their advantage after the break.\nVardy, who came on as a second-half substitute, eventually did find the net for Leicester by converting Ricardo Pereira\u2019s low cross for his eighth league goal of the season.\nBut hopes of a comeback for the Foxes ended when Son Heung-min scored a stoppage-time goal for Spurs to seal a 3-1 victory.\n\u201cIt was an even game,\u201d said Pochettino.\n\u201cThe way we conceded is more than we usually concede. I think the victory is fair. I am so happy.\n\u201cOne more time to congratulate the players. Again their effort was fantastic. With all the circumstances that happened during the game and this season it\u2019s so important to recognise that they are doing a fantastic effort and I am so proud of that.\u201d\nLONDON, ENGLAND \u2013 FEBRUARY 10: Hugo Lloris of Tottenham Hotspur celebrates after his team\u2019s third goal during the Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City at Wembley Stadium on February 10, 2019 in London, United Kingdom.

        "title": "Charter for Christian Living and Recipe for Extreme Holiness -- A Biblical Reflection for the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A | Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation",
        "raw_content": "Charter for Christian Living and Recipe for Extreme Holiness -- A Biblical Reflection for the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A\nAs the Church continues her pilgrim journey throughout history, we need a vision to sustain us and give us hope in the midst of our shadows, ambiguities and sins, our joys and hopes and victories. That biblical vision is found in the great Christian charter in today's Gospel passage. Today\u2019s Gospel often called \u201cthe Sermon on the Mount\u201d [Mt 5:1-12a] is the first of the five discourses [5:1-7:29] that are a central part of the structure of Matthew\u2019s Gospel. The Lucan parallel is the \"Sermon on the Plain\" [Luke 6:20-49], although some of the sayings in Matthew's \"Sermon on the Mount\" have their parallels in other parts of Luke.\nThe careful topical arrangement of the sermon is probably not due only to Matthew's editing; he seems to have had a structured discourse of Jesus as one of his sources. The form of that source may have been as follows: four beatitudes [Matthew 5:3-4, 6, 11-12], a section on the new righteousness with illustrations [5:17, 20-24, 27-28, 33-48], a section on good works, [6:1-6, 16-18], and three warnings [7:1-2, 15-21, 24-27]. Unlike Luke's sermon, Matthew\u2019s text is addressed not only to the disciples but to the crowds.\nThe formulation \u201cBlessed are (is)\u201d used in today\u2019s Gospel passage occurs frequently in the Old Testament in the Wisdom literature and in the psalms. Although modified by Matthew, the first, second, fourth, and ninth beatitudes have Lucan parallels (Matthew 5:3; Luke 6:20; Matthew 5:4; Luke 6:21, 22; Matthew 5:6; Luke 6:21a; Matthew 5:11-12; Luke 5:22-23). The others were added by the evangelist and are probably his own composition.\nThe meaning of the beatitudes\nThe beatitudes are the great charter for Christian living. They reveal God's ultimate justice and outline Jesus' prophetic outreach to those who live on the fringes of society. So many people\u2013 the sick, the lame, the poor and the hungry converge on Jesus on that Galilean hillside. In this awesome biblical scene overlooking the Sea, Jesus puts biblical justice into practice by proclaiming the beatitudes. Authentic justice is a bonding of one's self with the sick, the disabled, the poor and the hungry. The crowds that listened to Jesus were awestruck because he spoke with authority, with the force of someone who knew the truth and offered it freely to others. He was a teacher like no other.\nWhile today\u2019s Gospel is undoubtedly one of the favorite texts for all types of liturgical celebrations, how many people really grasp the radicality of what is being stated or realize that the beatitudes are not simply a lovely introduction to the sermon on the mount but actually the foundation of Jesus\u2019 entire teaching? We are often at a loss to understand and explain the meaning of the beatitudes beyond the fact that they are words of solidarity, compassion and blessing. The Aramaic language of Jesus may help us to understand Jesus' teachings in a deeper way. \u201cBlessed\u201d is the translation of the word \u201cmakarioi\u201d used in the Greek New Testament. If we look further back to Jesus' Aramaic language and vocabulary, we discover that the original word was \u201cashray,\u201d from the verb \u201cyashar.\u201d \u201cAshray\u201d does not have this passive quality. Instead, it means \"to set yourself on the right way for the right goal; to turn around, repent; to become straight or righteous.\"\nWhen we understand Jesus' words in the Aramaic, we may translate the beatitudes like this: \"Get up, go ahead, do something, move, you who are hungry and thirsty for justice; you who desire peace.\" This reflects Jesus' words and teachings more accurately. We hear him saying to us: Get up, stop complaining, do something about the homeless, about the poor, about the discouraged and disillusioned people around you. \"Get up, go ahead, do something, move,\" Jesus says to his disciples and to us. In this way the beatitudes reveal God's ultimate justice and solidarity with the human condition.\nWe must hold up the beatitudes as a mirror in which we examine our own lives and consciences. \"Am I poor in spirit? Am I humble and merciful? Am I pure of heart? Do I bring peace? Am I 'blessed,' in other words, happy? Jesus not only gives us what he has, but also what he is. He is holy and makes us holy.\nBlueprint for Holiness\nThe beatitudes are also a recipe for extreme holiness. Holiness is a way of life that involves commitment and activity. It is not a passive endeavor but rather a continuous choice to deepen one's relationship with God and to then allow this relationship to guide all of one's actions in the world.\nMen and women of the beatitudes\nThe beatitudes were lived out in the life of John Paul II. He himself was an extraordinary witness who, through his devotion, heroic efforts, long suffering and death, communicated the powerful message of the Gospel to the men and women of our day. A great part of the success of the Pope\u2019s message is due to the fact that he has been surrounded by a tremendous cloud of witnesses who stood by him and strengthened him throughout his life. In the nearly 27 years of his pontificate, he gave the Church 1338 Blesseds and 482 Saints.\nOn April 2, 2005, he died a public, global death that stopped the world for several days. On April 8, 2005, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger told the world that the Holy Father was watching and blessing us \u2018from the window of the Father\u2019s House.\u201d On Sunday May 1, 2011 only six years after his return to the Father\u2019s house, the Church will formally confirm what many of us have known for so long: not simply \u201cSanto Subito\u201d (\u201cMake him a saint quickly) but \u201cSanto Sempre\u201d (Saint always). May we learn from \"Papa Wojtyla\" how to cross thresholds, open doors, build bridges and proclaim the Gospel to the people of our time. May we become men and women of the beatitudes and beg for a small portion of the fidelity of Peter's witness and the boldness of Paul's proclamation that were so mightily present in Karol Wojtyla -- Pope John Paul II.\nToday as we continue our reflection on Pope Benedict\u2019s Apostolic Exhortation Verbum Domini that followed the Synod of Bishops on the Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church, we read paragraphs #72 and #73.\nEncountering the word of God in sacred Scripture\nIf it is true that the liturgy is the privileged place for the proclamation, hearing and celebration of the word of God, it is likewise the case that this encounter must be prepared in the hearts of the faithful and then deepened and assimilated, above all by them. The Christian life is essentially marked by an encounter with Jesus Christ, who calls us to follow him. For this reason, the Synod of Bishops frequently spoke of the importance of pastoral care in the Christian communities as the proper setting where a personal and communal journey based on the word of God can occur and truly serve as the basis for our spiritual life. With the Synod Fathers I express my heartfelt hope for the flowering of \"a new season of greater love for sacred Scripture on the part of every member of the People of God, so that their prayerful and faith-filled reading of the Bible will, with time, deepen their personal relationship with Jesus\".\nThroughout the history of the Church, numerous saints have spoken of the need for knowledge of Scripture in order to grow in love for Christ. This is evident particularly in the Fathers of the Church. Saint Jerome, in his great love for the word of God, often wondered: \"How could one live without the knowledge of Scripture, by which we come to know Christ himself, who is the life of believers?\". He knew well that the Bible is the means \"by which God speaks daily to believers\". His advice to the Roman matron Leta about raising her daughter was this: \"Be sure that she studies a passage of Scripture each day... Prayer should follow reading, and reading follow prayer... so that in the place of jewelery and silk, she may love the divine books\". Jerome's counsel to the priest Nepotian can also be applied to us: \"Read the divine Scriptures frequently; indeed, the sacred book should never be out of your hands. Learn there what you must teach\". Let us follow the example of this great saint who devoted his life to the study of the Bible and who gave the Church its Latin translation, the Vulgate, as well as the example of all those saints who made an encounter with Christ the centre of their spiritual lives. Let us renew our efforts to understand deeply the word which God has given to his Church: thus we can aim for that \"high standard of ordinary Christian living\" proposed by Pope John Paul II at the beginning of the third Christian millennium, which finds constant nourishment in attentively hearing the word of God.\nLetting the Bible inspire pastoral activity\nAlong these lines the Synod called for a particular pastoral commitment to emphasizing the centrality of the word of God in the Church's life, and recommended a greater \"biblical apostolate\", not alongside other forms of pastoral work, but as a means of letting the Bible inspire all pastoral work\". This does not mean adding a meeting here or there in parishes or dioceses, but rather of examining the ordinary activities of Christian communities, in parishes, associations and movements, to see if they are truly concerned with fostering a personal encounter with Christ, who gives himself to us in his word. Since \"ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ\", making the Bible the inspiration of every ordinary and extraordinary pastoral outreach will lead to a greater awareness of the person of Christ, who reveals the Father and is the fullness of divine revelation.\nFor this reason I encourage pastors and the faithful to recognize the importance of this emphasis on the Bible: it will also be the best way to deal with certain pastoral problems which were discussed at the Synod and have to do, for example, with the proliferation of sects which spread a distorted and manipulative reading of sacred Scripture. Where the faithful are not helped to know the Bible in accordance with the Church's faith and based on her living Tradition, this pastoral vacuum becomes fertile ground for realities like the sects to take root. Provision must also be made for the suitable preparation of priests and lay persons who can instruct the People of God in the genuine approach to Scripture.\nFurthermore, as was brought out during the Synod sessions, it is good that pastoral activity also favor the growth of small communities, \"formed by families or based in parishes or linked to the different ecclesial movements and new communities\", which can help to promote formation, prayer and knowledge of the Bible in accordance with the Church's faith.\nThe readings for this Sunday are Zephaniah 2.3, 3.12-13; 1 Corinthians 1.26-31; Matthew 5.1-12.\nClick here for the Salt + Light Television tribute to Pope John Paul II: \"Thank you, John Paul II\" or the shorter version on YouTube.\nImages: Sermon on the Mount, Cosimo Rosselli, 1481-82, Vatican's Sistine Chapel; and undated photo of JPII, CNS photo/Catholic Press Photo.\nCharter for Christian Living and Recipe for Extreme Holiness\nSynod of Bishops on the Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church\nsynod of bishops word of god",

        "raw_content": "All multicellular organisms have unicellular ancestors somewhere in their evolutionary past. Yet it is unknown how single-celled creatures evolve into a community of cells with a collective individuality. To answer this puzzle, Eric turns his attention to the microbial world and the phenotypic acrobatics of bacteria, slime molds, and fungi. Single mutations can allow these beautiful organisms to rapidly switch between forms. Eric combines mathematical approaches with experimental observations of these organisms to find the evolutionary conditions that can lead single cells to form groups capable of reproduction, i.e. primitive multicellular organisms. Understanding the origins of multicellularity is not simply a dig into the past but also an exploration into what types of collective entities can be formed from individuals. In this way, research into the origins of multicellularity is intimately connected with research into cooperation, self-organization, the human microbiome, tissue construction, and the stability of communities and ecosystems.\nEric is an Associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at Ume\u00e5 University. He completed postdoctoral fellowships at the Santa Fe Institute and at the New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study. Before that he earned a Ph.D. in quantitative physiology from McGill University and a B.A. in computational and applied mathematics from Rice University.",

        "raw_content": "The following piece of writing originally appeared on my earlier blog.\nI have been observing people lately who do similar work as mine. The core engineering group is highly dependent on simulation of physical problems. All of it is to essentially de-risk actual physical events or worse, to evaluate the root cause of a real world problem. Well, one of the key causes of such kind of work in India can be attributed to the lack of manufacturing units. Our engineering education, no matter how rigorous it may be, on one hand addresses the curriculum from a purely theoretical standpoint, while on the other hand helps create brilliant analysts who can actually shine through jobs that require simulation on a computer. It doesn\u2019t mean that the person is incapable of real world engineering. It\u2019s just that he has very less opportunities here.\nThe toolset of the environment\nAs of today, I have come across many software that ease the process of creating these models for simulation. There are essentially two types of such software. One that takes the parameters of the model in a text format and can run the required analysis, and another that only allows the user to operate within the proprietary limits of the software itself. Needless to say, unless the latter kind of software exposes any API to let the user tinker with its parameters, any kind of attempt at automation will be futile. Luckily, it is the former group that forms the majority of the environment in which a simulation engineer with Mechanical Engineering background thrives.\nLet me clarify a bit about the subset of people I am referring to. These are the engineers who work on structural problems, problems of fluid dynamics and in general static and dynamic physical systems. Often the toolset comprises of the bigger names that serve the foundation of such computation. Say, in the fluid dynamics world, there is Fluent, Star CCM+ and their likes, while in the structural world, there is Ansys, Nastran, Abaqus and their brothers and cousins. These simulators work well with hand written textual inputs that describe the nooks and corners of the model. And indeed, that\u2019s how such a software should be. The really good ones also have exposed APIs thus even encroaching the territory of the latter kind of software described in the earlier paragraph.\nIn short what one needs is a lexical parser. In fact, the knowledge of a simple language that supports regular expression is what the engineer needs in his arsenal. If there is one thing that he needs to learn it has to be regexp. Let me put it in a way that would set a pathway for learning. One of the easiest way to deal with this is to work on it using the standard grep program on any *NIX machine. However I really found this to be a difficult job as many of us have to log into clusters and just getting into something complex for the experimentation kills the drive to have a go at it. One simple alternative is to use a text editor that supports at least basic regexp and start off experimenting with simple find / replace expressions. While Vim, with its availability on both Unix / Linux as well as Windows, is a good idea, it may be a daunting task for a beginner to start working on a purely console based editor[1]. One alternative is to use Notepad++ or similar text editor on Windows.\nText editors do have quite a bit of limitations regarding this. I have to admit that the implementation of regexp in text editors is not really exhaustive. Also, most editors really focus on simple find / replace solutions. This is when one has to upgrade to a programming language that has really good support for regexp. Also, it would be beneficial to choose a language that is simpler to code. I have been using Python for it lends well to rapid prototyping. Indeed, any similar scripting language can be used \u2013 whatever the user is comfortable with and whatever is available at hand.\nBeyond this point, I would be leaving the generics and cite examples of my own approach. Anyone interested can easily extrapolate or morph the information to suit his own needs.\nParsing text into bits of useful information\nThe text often follows a pattern and that\u2019s a good thing. In my case, the two most frequently used solvers are Nastran and Abaqus. The former has a very rigid syntax while the latter is a bit more human readable. From a lexical coding point of view, I must say, the more rigid the syntax, the better. Indeed, when I had to think about dependent entries laid out in a sequential manner in Abaqus, I was cursing its syntax. This meant that there were keywords that had to be a slave to another keyword and the lexical parser should be able to create master information and slave information. I am quite sure that every solver (in any field) would have its quirks.\nIdentification of this pattern is only half the battle won. At this point one will have to come up with a framework that can do generic parsing. In my case, it was a labyrinth of classes that threw out a nest of basic data structures \u2013 lists, dicts and tuples. One of my colleagues prefers to extract data as custom class objects. I differ with that philosophy. If the data exists as custom class objects, the author will have to write a lot of other methods to extract the data contained in those objects. That is inefficient. It\u2019s like extracting randomly scattered data from a box, organising them and putting them in another box. I prefer the organised data straight out of the first box. His methods have their own merits \u2013 i.e. if there is an industrial level distributive application being written, I can acknowledge the usefulness and to some extent necessity of such an approach. Then again, here we are talking about the simulation industry where rapid, disposable[2], development of code comes more handy.\nWhat we are looking for here is to build a framework with a handful of exposed APIs. These APIs will become the backbone of any disposable application that one intends to build. For example, the framework I use to parse Abaqus files allows me to write complex alterations in only a couple of lines. The most expansive ones does not exceed fifty lines. Of course, the framework took me months to build and contains a few thousand lines. Knowing that those thousand lines will work well in the background, writing disposable programs takes anything from few minutes to at most a few hours.\nAs a concluding remark, I can say that this is one way of doing things but is not a do all, end all kind of scenario. I am quite sure that there are other ways of textual automation, some more efficient than the others. In case one is totally afraid of writing codes \u2013 and I have seen quite a few people \u2013 they should be able to do some level of lexical parsing using a modern spreadsheet software.\n1. It would be a good idea to invest some time in learning to use a faster editor like Vim in order to code. Even Emacs will be a good option. Personally, I have a bit bias towards Vim.\n2. By \u201cdisposable\u201d I mean applications that exist only to solve a problem at hand and may have no importance later \u2013 thus negating any merit in storing the application in a cool, dry place.",

        "raw_content": "A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Total Knee Replacement Academic Article\nMore than 670,000 total knee replacements are performed annually in the United States; however, high-quality evidence to support the effectiveness of the procedure, as compared with nonsurgical interventions, is lacking.In this randomized, controlled trial, we enrolled 100 patients with moderate-to-severe knee osteoarthritis who were eligible for unilateral total knee replacement. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo total knee replacement followed by 12 weeks of nonsurgical treatment (total-knee-replacement group) or to receive only the 12 weeks of nonsurgical treatment (nonsurgical-treatment group), which was delivered by physiotherapists and dietitians and consisted of exercise, education, dietary advice, use of insoles, and pain medication. The primary outcome was the change from baseline to 12 months in the mean score on four Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score subscales, covering pain, symptoms, activities of daily living, and quality of life (KOOS4); scores range from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).A total of 95 patients completed the 12-month follow-up assessment. In the nonsurgical-treatment group, 13 patients (26%) underwent total knee replacement before the 12-month follow-up; in the total-knee-replacement group, 1 patient (2%) received only nonsurgical treatment. In the intention-to-treat analysis, the total-knee-replacement group had greater improvement in the KOOS4 score than did the nonsurgical-treatment group (32.5 vs. 16.0; adjusted mean difference, 15.8 [95% confidence interval, 10.0 to 21.5]). The total-knee-replacement group had a higher number of serious adverse events than did the nonsurgical-treatment group (24 vs. 6, P=0.005).In patients with knee osteoarthritis who were eligible for unilateral total knee replacement, treatment with total knee replacement followed by nonsurgical treatment resulted in greater pain relief and functional improvement after 12 months than did nonsurgical treatment alone. However, total knee replacement was associated with a higher number of serious adverse events than was nonsurgical treatment, and most patients who were assigned to receive nonsurgical treatment alone did not undergo total knee replacement before the 12-month follow-up.

        "raw_content": "Goodbye Christopher Robin Review: A Bear of Very Little Happiness\nGoodbye Christopher Robin is handsome and well acted, but has mixed success when it comes to presenting Milne's life story in a neat and tidy package.\nBased on the life and times of Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne and his family, Goodbye Christopher Robin is an awards season friendly dramatization of the true story behind a literary icon and the real world people, events, and places that inspired them. Milne's actual life is a fascinating case study in how a work of art that touches the hearts of people around the world, across multiple generations, can come at a great personal cost to its creator and their loved ones. Goodbye Christopher Robin is handsome and well acted, but has mixed success when it comes to presenting Milne's life story in a neat and tidy package.\nFollowing his experiences during WWI, Alan Alexander Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) attempts to resume his old life as a playwright in England with his wife Daphne (Margot Robbie), but finds himself traumatized by his time at war and disillusioned with the state of things in the world. After the birth of their son Christopher Robin, Alan coaxes Daphne into leaving the bustling city life behind to go live out in the countryside with their nanny Olive (Kelly Macdonald), based on the idea that Alan will be able to properly resume writing in their new home. Once there, however, Milne finds that his mind is as restless and distraught as it was in the city.\nDomhnall Gleeson and Will Tilston in Goodbye Christopher Robin\nUpon getting (or, rather, having) to spend time with young Christopher (Will Tilston), Alan finds himself inspired by his son and their adventures together in the nearby woods, as well as Christopher's toy animals. Over time, Alan begins to write stories about a fictional version of Christopher Robin (\"Billy Moon\", as he's nicknamed by his parents) and his friends like Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, who reside in the Hundred-Acre Wood. Alan's Winnie the Pooh novels then go on to become a global phenomenon, offering hope and joy to millions of people and making Christopher Robin a household name. But what will the cost be to the real Christopher, who wanted nothing more than to spend time with his parents?\nGoodbye Christopher Robin, as was written by Frank Cottrell Boyce (The Railway Man) and Simon Vaughan (Ripper Street), is an insightful memoir comparable to such biopics as Finding Neverland and Saving Mr. Banks, in that it examines how whimsical classics - stories that delight countless children and parents around the world - are sometimes born out of tragedies in the lives of their authors, as well as their own personal failings. While Goodbye Christopher Robin is willing to present both Alan and Daphne Milne as flawed and sometimes downright unlikeable products of their time, it smooths over the rough edges of their troubling relationship with their son in an effort to paint the Milne family's story in a more flattering light. This gives rise to a larger tonal issue that weakens the film's otherwise solid narrative, as Goodbye Christopher Robin tries to spin a heartwarming story out of one that is more heartbreaking and poignant.\nMargot Robbie and Domhnall Gleeson in Goodbye Christopher Robin\nDirector Simon Curtis brings the world of Goodbye Christopher Robin to life through aesthetically pleasing sunlit frames captured by his My Week With Marilyn cinematographer Ben Smithard, as well as lovely period costumes from Odile Dicks-Mireaux (Brooklyn) and production design by David Roger (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell). Further setting the mood is the score by the Coen Brothers' frequent collaborator Carter Burwell, which embellishes the wondrous vibe of Alan and Christopher's time playing together in their own Hundred-Acre Wood, and nicely contrasts those scenes with the more dramatic somber moments of the film. If anything, Goodbye Christopher Robin looks and sounds too polished, given the messy emotions and difficult questions raised by its story. This further contributes to the sense that the film is tugging too hard on heartstrings, in an effort to lighten up its somber narrative proceedings.\nOn the other hand, Goodbye Christmas Robin doesn't shy away from acknowledging Alan's PTSD and uses clever editing transitions to illustrate how something as harmless as a balloon popping (or glaring stage lights) can trigger memories of his time at war. Gleeson is typically good here as the Winnie the Pooh author himself, crafting a three-dimensional portrait of the writer and painting his complicated relationship with his son in a touching light. Robbie is equally solid as Daphne, as the film allows her room to make Mrs. Milne feel like a real person and not simply a bad mother who often prioritized her social life over her family. That said, Daphne ends up somewhat underserved as a character, as Goodbye Christopher Robin focuses much much more on Alan and Christopher than her connection with either of them.\nKelly Macdonald and Will Tilston in Goodbye Christopher Robin\nOlive is presented as being more of a proper mother figure to Christopher than Daphne, though Goodbye Christopher Robin struggles at times to juggle scenes of the pair's time together with the moments between Christopher and his actual parents. Nevertheless, Macdonald is moving as ever in the role of Olive, while newcomer Will Tilston is equally believable as Christopher/ \"Billy\" - capturing his sense of childhood innocence, oblivious to how he is being used by his mother and father. Unfortunately, Goodbye Christopher Robin then commits the sin of telling rather than showing much of Christopher's unpleasant coming of age, leaving Alex Lawther as the grownup Christopher Robin to do little more than explain the nature of his emotional journey.\nGoodbye Christopher Robin successfully sheds light on the real-life events and people that led to Winnie the Pooh's creation, but its sugarcoating of that story and efforts to give it more of a happy spin ultimately hamper the film. It's an overall solid biopic all the same and, thanks to its compelling performances, will no doubt move some filmgoers to tears with its portrayal of the sad truth behind characters that have brought happiness to so many. Goodbye Christopher Robin isn't necessarily a movie that begs to be seen on a big screen, nor is its likely to gain much traction this awards season (meaning, it's not really a must-see for cinephiles). That said, those who are curious to learn more about what inspired the bear of very little brain and his friends in the Hundred-Acre Wood, may want to check it out at some point.\nGoodbye Christopher Robin is now playing in a semi-limited U.S. theatrical release. It is 107 minutes long and is Rated PG for thematic elements, some bullying, war images and brief language.\nGoodbye Christopher Robin (2017) release date: Oct 13, 2017\nTags: goodbye christopher robin",

        "raw_content": "Is Bob Dylan Schizophrenic?\nI should preface that I'm not a huge Dylan fan, but almost everyone I know and am related to, loves the man. And of course, he's one of the most regarded American musicians of all time. So I'm curious how fans will react to this film.\nBasically, Todd Haynes, who directed Velvet Goldmine, is directing this film that shows Dylan throughout the years, but here's the catch...different actors will portray him, such as Heath Ledger, Richard Gere (presumably the later-in-life Dylan), Christian Bale (okay, Batman and the Joker in this one), and more, including Cate Blanchett. Um, what?!\nThat's right, I guess Dylan had a sort of feminine period, according to a friend of mine, and I'm Not There covers a little bit of that, too. Now my friend could be wrong, but I guess it makes sense.\nSo I watched this clip via Ain't It Cool News, twice, and here's what I think. They should've stuck to one period of the guy's life, first off, and had only one actor regardless, like Val Kilmer in Oliver Stone's excellent The Doors.\nThe clip doesn't 100% work for me, probably because of Blanchett and David Cross as Allen Ginsburg, a very famous beat poet, and it just didn't seem to work. And I have a feeling it's going to be distracting when I see all these different actors playing Dylan.\nWell, I hope I didn't turn anyone off the film, because I'm always a big fan of biopics and fact-based films, especially ones by Michael Mann (while Ali is good, The Insider is excellent).\nI just feel they either should have followed one segment of Dylan's life with one actor as Bob, or do the life story with one actor, unless they have a child playing lil' Dylan. Oh, wait, I think they do.\nTags: i'm not there",

HendersonColvert, death certificate, Roanoke VA 4 Comments\nAnother treasure from Ancestry.com\u2019s new Virginia vital records. The death certificate of my great-grandfather Lon W. Colvert\u2018s half-sister, Henrietta Colvert:\nHenrietta Rebecca Colvert! I\u2019ve never seen a middle name for Henrietta before, and it\u2019s nice to see that she was named for her father\u2019s step-mother.\nDate of birth \u2014 4 March 1911? More like 1893.\nI\u2019m still not sure how Henrietta wound up in Roanoke, though I assume she ended her nursing career there.\nThe Colvert \u201chome house\u201d in Statesville was on Harrison Street. The nursing home in which Henrietta spent her final years was on Harrison Avenue.\nE.S., my grandmother\u2019s first cousin and son of Henrietta\u2019s sister Ida Colvert Stockton, lives in suburban D.C., and he told me that he and his wife visited Henrietta in her declining years. Did my grandmother know that her aunt was living in Roanoke? Did she know when she died?\nIs her grave marked?

HendersonAllen, death certificate, Whirley 3 Comments\nThe Commonwealth of Virginia has thrilled and astonished me by making vital records available via Ancestry.com. Yesterday, cousin Barbie Jones notified me that the databases were up and open, and I thank her for part in the gargantuan task of indexing these documents.\nJust as with North Carolina Marriages a couple of months ago, Virginia Birth, Marriage and Death Records are unveiling little mysteries and setting records straight.\nI\u2019ll start with the Allens.\nIn the 1900 census, Graham Allen is listed in Charles City County, Virginia, with wife Mary, sons Alexander and Edward, and grandsons Milton and Junius. My assumption has always been that Graham and Mary\u2019s eldest daughter Emma was the mother of the younger boys.\nLast night, I found this:\nSo, yes. Conjecture confirmed. Milton William Allen \u2014 the middle name is new to me\u2013 was 16 year-old Emma\u2019s son. Who was Mrs. Laura Ray, \u201cfriend\u201d? And Milton was alive as late as 1958??? Where was he living?\nIs this right? Was Junius really Graham and Mary\u2019s youngest child? (For a fact, my grandmother told me Junius was John C. Allen\u2018s brother, but I figured this was a manner of speaking.) And who is James Dobson, \u201cuncle\u201d and \u201ca neighbor at the time,\u201d who attested to Junius\u2019 birth for this delayed certificate? And when did Junius move to Paterson, New Jersey? And there was once a King James Bible recording family births and deaths?\nAnd then I found Emma Allen Whirley and two of her children:\nNo surprises, but who was informant Joseph Ghee?\nA bit of a sad surprise. As I wrote here, Graham\u2019s brother Samuel is the one who\u2019d had a brush with infamy, yet Graham ends up shot in the chest. Where was South \u201cB\u201d Village? Taxi driver and wood dealer? And where did his wife pull \u201cBinford\u201d from as Emma\u2019s maiden name?\nSamuel Whirley, at least, lived a longish life.\nWhat I\u2019ve found after just a bit of looking:\nLaura Ray appears in the 1900 census of Harrison, Charles City County, with husband Graham Ray and three children. Laura Ann Wray\u2019s death certificate shows that she was born 24 September 1873 to Lennie Glenn and \u201cAnnie\u201d and died 12 June 1958 in Harrison district, Charles City. She was buried at New Vine church. Her husband Graham Wray\u2019s death certificate reveals that he was born about 1871 to John Wray and Margaret Jones, that he was a farmer, that he died 3 March 1916, and that he was also buried at New Vine. New Vine, of course, was the Allen family\u2019s church, too.\nI have not found Milton in any Virginia censuses after 1900, but I\u2019m even less sure now that the Milton Allen that lived in Kokomo, Indiana, in the 1920s is my Milton. However, he may be the Milton W. Allen listed in the 1960 Petersburg, Virginia, city directory:\nI don\u2019t have a death certificate, but the Social Security Death Index shows that Junius Allen, born 22 February 1896, died in January 1975 in Paterson, New Jersey. He had obtained his Social Security number prior to 1951 in New Jersey.\nJunius\u2019 handwriting had immeasurably improved since his scrawl on his World War I draft registration card.\nA James Henry Dobson, self-employed barber and minister born 25 December 1884, registered for the World War II draft in Paterson, New Jersey. He reported being born in Richmond, Virginia, and named Mrs. Lavinia McKay as his contact person. Is this the same man? (The James Dobson above was born about 1875.) How could he have been Junius\u2019 uncle?\nJoseph Wiley Ghee\u2019s death certificate reveals that he was born in 1897 in Charles City County to Robert S. and Lovey Williams Ghee, that he died in 1957, and that he was buried at New Vine. He was a member of the Allens\u2019 church then, and there\u2019s no evidence so far that he was related to Emma.\nIn the 1940 census of Hopewell, Virginia, Graham Whirley is listed as a 25 year-old lodger living in the Maplewood Avenue Extension household of Andrew Joyner, a fellow chemical plant worker. Graham is described as married, but no wife appears with him. This might be why:\nPer Wikipedia\u2019s Hopewell, Virginia, entry: \u201cDue to its hasty construction as a mill town during the First World War, Hopewell had a large number of kit homes that were hauled in and erected in neighborhoods laid out by DuPont [Company, which operated a dynamite, and then a guncotton factory there] known as \u2018A Village\u2019 and \u2018B Village.'\u201d\nAs I\u2019ll show elsewhere, Graham\u2019s life contrasted sharply with his violent death. Newspaper accounts reveal that he was a church man, popular about town, and respected in and outside his community.\nSamuel Whirley\u2019s marriage to India Carter Lee was a late one. Their license correctly lists his mother\u2019s name:\nAnd here\u2019s an earlier marriage:\nAnd the sorry end of that one. (Los Angeles, California???):\nI mused earlier that it was hard to believe that of Mary Brown Allen\u2019s children, only John and Emma had children. Emma\u2019s sole known grandchild died childless, leaving my great-grandfather\u2019s relatively few descendants as the only extant Allens. (By my count, we number only 25 across three generations. Twenty-five.) These additional records do not change that scenario. Neither Samuel nor Graham Whirley had children, and I\u2019ve seen no evidence that Junius or Milton did.\nNew Ancestor Discovery, no. 1: Stephen Nathaniel Grant.\nMay 26, 2015 Lisa Y. HendersonAncestry DNA, DNA, Grant, Louisiana, Wayne County 3 Comments\nI don\u2019t know. Am I?\nAncestry.com\u2019s New Ancestor Discovery \u201cis a suggestion that points you to a potential new ancestor or relative\u2014someone that may not be in your family tree previously. This beta launch is our first step toward an entirely new way to make discoveries, and a way to expand how we do family history.\u201d\nAncestry\u2019s bio of this NAD (it\u2019s based on a compilation of 143 user family trees, and so may be way inaccurate): Stephen Nathaniel Grant was born on November 27, 1820, in Natchitoches, Louisiana, to Stephen Grant and Marie Louise Saidec. He married Marie Celine Armand on February 6, 1840, in Natchitoches, Louisiana. On September 4, 1862, he married Marie Adelaide Elizabeth Armand in Natchitoches, Louisiana. He lived in Natchitoches, Louisiana, from 1850 to 1865 and moved to Calcasieu, Louisiana, sometime between 1865 and 1870. Stephen died on June 3, 1878, in Vernon County, Louisiana, at the age of 57, and was buried in Leesville, Louisiana.\nAt first glance, I\u2019m puzzled. Natchitoches? All my roots lie north of South Carolina and east of the Appalachians. \u201cGrant,\u201d though. That stirs an antenna.\nMy great-grandmother Bessie Henderson\u2018s putative father was Joseph Buckner Martin (1868-1928). Buck\u2019s parents were Lewis H. Martin (1836-1912) and Mary \u201cPolly\u201d Ann Price (1836-1902). Lewis H. Martin was the son of Waitman G. Martin (1810-1866) and Eliza Lewis (1813-??). Waitman G. Martin was the son of Lewis Martin (1779-1820?) and Charity Grant (1788-1864?).\nCharity Grant was my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother. Is Ancestry picking up a connection this distant? It has matched me to collateral Price and Lewis descendants. Maybe Grant then.\nI know very little about Charity Grant. Unsourced internet information asserts that she was born 7 October 1788 in Wayne County to Ephraim Grant (1765-1864) and Nancy Kinchen. The date of her marriage to Lewis Martin is unknown; their other children were Lavinia G. Martin (1812-1899), Abraham George Martin (1815-1862) and Henderson Napoleon Martin (1821-1877). (Henderson Martin married Bethany Lewis, daughter of Urban and Susan Casey Lewis, and sister of Waitman\u2019s wife Eliza Lewis.) Charity allegedly died in 1864 in Onslow County. There\u2019s a lot about this I don\u2019t trust though. I consulted Marty Grant\u2019s website, http://www.martygrant.com, which contains the most detailed accounting of the evidence regarding early Wayne County Grants available. He lists a daughter Charity for Ephraim and Nancy, but notes that she was born in 1824 and married Martin Johnston. The only other early reference that I have for Charity is Michael Grant\u2019s 1818 Wayne County estate record, which mentions Charity Martin as the purchaser of \u201c7 bus. & 3 Pecks corn\u201d at his estate sale. (It also lists Elisha, John and Stephen Grant among Michael\u2019s creditors.) Michael Grant was a close neighbor of William and Elisha Grant in the 1790 Wayne County census. Marty Grant conjectures the three as brothers and Charity as William\u2019s daughter.\nI dug a little deeper on Stephen Nathaniel Grant. (Meaning, I tried to make sense of the mish-mash of information in the trees of his descendants on Ancestry.) With no attribution, all seem to agree that Stephen\u2019s father was also named Stephen Grant, born 1770 in Tolland, Connecticut, died 1821 in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana. Stephen Sr.\u2019s father is also uniformly listed as Ephraim Grant, born 1726 in Tolland, Connecticut.\nThese Stephens and Ephraims stretching from New England through North Carolina to Louisiana are intriguing, but what\u2019s my link?\nAncestry.com assigned Stephen N. Grant to me as a New Ancestor Discovery on the basis of a DNA Circle. \u201cUsing DNA evidence and family trees, we\u2019ve created a DNA Circle of probable descendants of Stephen Nathaniel Grant. You match 2 of 5 members. \u2026 Because of this, there is a good chance (up to 70%) you could be either a descendant or relative of Stephen Nathaniel Grant.\u201d (There\u2019s a lot of wiggle room there, notice.)\nHere are the five people in Stephen Grant\u2019s DNA Circle by Ancestry user name:\nM.G. \u2014 a \u201cvery high confidence\u201d DNA match \u2014 20-30 centiMorgans, meh \u2014 estimated in the 4th to 6th cousin range; descends from Stephen via daughter Louisa O.

J.F.\u2019s cousin administers this account and knows little about this line.\nAnthonyQuinn1987 \u2014 not a DNA match; also descends via daughter Elizabeth Grant Bolton; J.F. and AnthonyQuinn1987 also share (1) Wiley Hunt (1798, Georgia-1880, Louisiana) and Susan Alford Hunt (1812, North Carolina-1880, Louisiana); (2) John Alexander Brown (1819, South Carolina-1881, Louisiana) and Anny Harris Brown (1828, Georgia-1911, Louisiana); and (3) John F. Bolton (1815, Tennessee-1883, Louisiana) and Mary Ann Goodman Bolton (1818, Alabama-1897, Louisiana) as common ancestors.\nFor now, I have no idea how I relate to M.G. or J.F. (especially at the predicted closeness), or if Stephen Grant was closely related to Charity Grant, or if Grant is a red herring and some other common ancestor ties me to these two.\nEvidence of the rites of matrimony.\nMay 18, 2015 Lisa Y. HendersonBattle, Edgecombe County, marriage license, Williams 2 Comments\nMore revelations from Ancestry.com\u2019s updated North Carolina marriages database:\nNo mystery why I didn\u2019t find this earlier. Jonah Wiggins? No, actually, Jonah Williams, brother of my great-great-great-grandfather Adam Artis. And though I knew Pleasant Battle was from the Battleboro area, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d ever searched Edgecombe records for their marriage license.\nHere\u2019s the marriage bond:\nI don\u2019t know who George Terrell was to Jonah. He and his wife Martha Lindsey, who married a few days before Jonah and Pleasant, appear in the 1870 census of Cokey township, Edgecombe County.\nAnd here\u2019s the marriage license. I am a little surprised that Jonah was married by a Justice of the Peace, rather than a minister of the gospel, but perhaps he was not yet the man he would become:\nBirths Deaths Marriages, Maternal Kin, Migration, North Carolina\nThe Boston branch.\nMay 12, 2015 Lisa Y. HendersonBoston, Cambridge MA, Harlem, Kiner, McConnaughey, migration Leave a comment\nI\u2019ve written about Angeline McConnaughey Reeves and her family \u2014 particularly her daughter Carrie Reeves Williams. But what of her other children?\nA short notice appeared in the 14 March 1895 edition of the Charlotte Observer:\nFrank Eccles and Ada Reeves, colored, were married Tuesday night. The groom is Farrior\u2019s man \u201cFriday.\u201d He is a good citizen and deserves happiness and prosperity.\nFive years later, the census taker trudging through Charlotte\u2019s Fourth Ward knocked at the door of 413 Eighth Street. Forty-two year-old Angeline Reeves likely answered the door. In response to the enumerator\u2019s queries, she identified her husband Fletcher as the head of household and detailed the three children remaining at home \u2014 18 year-old Frank, 16 year-old Edna, and 12 year-old John. Daughter Ada, her husband Frank and 4 year-old son Harry were probably living in Charlotte, but seem to have given the enumerator the slip.\nFrank married Kate Smith in Charlotte in 1902; their ill-fated story is told here. Edna was next to wed. In 1905, at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse in Charlotte, William H. Kiner applied for a marriage license for himself, age 25, of Boston, Massachusetts, colored, son of Anderson and Agnes Kiner, and Edna Reeves, age 20, of Charlotte, colored, daughter of Fletcher Reeves and Angeline Reeves. Robert B. Bruce, minister of the AME Zion Church, united them in matrimony on 5 April 1905 at the bride\u2019s residence. According to Kiner family researcher Peggy Jorde, William Henry Kiner, actually a native of Staunton, Augusta County, Virginia, had come to Charlotte to study theology at Biddle University.\nWilliam and Edna\u2019s first son, Addison F., was born in Charlotte in 1906, but by the following summer, when son Carroll Milton arrived, the Kiners were permanent residents of Massachusetts. Carroll has two birth records, one listing his birth place as Oak Bluffs, and a second listing Cambridge. On the first, William\u2019s occupation was described as theological student.\nEdna Reeves Kiner was not the only one of Fletcher and Angeline\u2019s children to pack up and move north to the Bay State. The 1910 census of Cambridge, Middlesex County, shows William H. Kiner, wife Edna E., children Addison F., 4, and Carroll M., 2, sister-in-law Ada Ecles, and brother-in-law John H. Reeves living at 8 Rockwell Street. William worked as a clothes presser in a tailor shop, Ada as a servant, and John as a hotel waiter. Ada\u2019s husband Frank (and son Harry) are nowhere to be seen, but \u201cAida\u201d Eccles appears a second time in Cambridge as a servant in the household of George W. Clapp, a self-employed chemist.\nJohn Reeves\u2019 stay in New England did not last long. In April of 1915, at the age of 26, he died of tuberculosis in a state hospital.\nMeanwhile, it\u2019s not clear that William Kiner was ever able to respond to his religious calling. When he registered for the World War I draft in 1918, he was working as a chipper in a foundry at Hunt-Spiller Corporation.\nTwo years later, when the 1920 census of Cambridge was recorded, William was described as a chipper in a shipyard. His family, still at 8 Rockwell Street, included wife Edna E. and children Addison F., Carroll M., and Evelyn C. Kiner. Ada Eccles and her 23 year-old son Harry Eccles, a laundry janitor, had found their own lodging and appear in the 7th Ward at 65 Grigg Street.\nI have found no death certificate for William H. Kiner, but assume that he died between 1923, when he last appears in a Cambridge city directory, and 1930. In the latter year, the census taker listed his widow widow Edna M. Kiner, her children Addison F., Carrell M., and Evelyn C., plus aunt (sister, actually) Ada M. Eccles living on Essex Street in Cambridge in the household of Joseph S. Blackburn, a black Kentucky-born railroad porter, and his wife Cynthia, a beauty shop manicurist born in Maine. Addison worked as a department store elevator operator and Carrell as a shoestore porter.\nThe Kiners emerged from the Great Depression decentralized. In 1940 census, Edna Kiner was over the river in Boston, Suffolk County, living in an apartment or shared house at 361 Massachusetts Avenue. Her son Carroll Kiner, a 32 year-old shoe store porter, lived in Cambridge with his Virginia-born wife Ella and three year-old daughter Caroline at 27 Pleasant Street. Addison Kiner was not captured in the census, but he seems to have remained in Massachusetts and was active in Cambridge\u2019s small African-American social scene.\nThe Afro-American, 20 June 1942.\nDaughter Evelyn C. Kiner had completely escaped the Bay State orbit, however, having moved to New York City and begun work as a social worker with the Department of Welfare. She was living in the heart of Harlem at 172 West 127th Street, between Lenox Avenue and what was then Seventh Avenue. She quickly integrated into the Harlem world and over the next ten or years or so appears half-a-dozen times in the social columns of the New York Age. Evelyn\u2019s primary social activities swirled around her membership in the National Urban League Guild, but she was also actively involved in civic outreach through the Church of the Master, a Presbyterian congregation at West 122nd and Morningside.\nCity directories show that Edna\u2019s sons remained in the Boston area the remainder of their lives. She, however, moved to New York to live with Evelyn in her declining years and died there in August 1969. I don\u2019t know exactly when Carroll died, but I\u2019m a little haunted by how closely my path crossed with Addison and Evelyn. In the fall of 1986, I arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for my first semester of law school. My residence hall, a graceless, L-shaped brick hulk, was at the campus\u2019 far northwest corner, at Massachusetts Avenue and Everett Street. (I lived on the fourth floor of Wyeth Hall that year. Michelle Robinson Obama lived in the suite one floor above.) Unbeknownst to me, if I had walked a mile straight up Mass Ave, turned left on Walden Street, and knocked at No. 28, Addison Kiner would have answered the door. As far I can tell, he lived there for the three years that I was in Cambridge. He died 7 May 1990. After law school, I enrolled in graduate school at Columbia University. For the two years I was there, I lived in an apartment building on 121st Street, at the crest of the hill between Broadway and Amsterdam. Walking west down 121st led me to the edge of Morningside Park. Had I descended through it \u2014 and I didn\u2019t in that era, which was crazy, crack-ravaged Manhattan at its nadir \u2014 I\u2019d have landed on the plain of central Harlem just a block or two from Evelyn Kiner\u2019s beloved Church of the Master. She died in February 2003, and the church was demolished six years later.\nAgriculture, Business, Land, North Carolina\n\u201cI told anybody that it was my land\u201d; or, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you stir it while it\u2019s hot?\u201d\nMay 7, 2015 Lisa Y. HendersonArtis, Coley, court case, land dispute, Wayne County Leave a comment\nThe ninth in an occasional series excerpting testimony from the transcript of the trial in J.F. Coley v. Tom Artis, Wayne County Superior Court, November 1908.\n(Tom Pig Artis\u2019 testimony continued from here.)\nI have been claiming this land all the time. I have not been listing it for taxes. Before the mortgage was given I was listing it. I have not listed it ever since 1892, \u2019till this last year. I listed my other property, but don\u2019t know that listed this land. I have been mortgaging the crops on this land. I mortgaged it one year in 1893. I guess I did. To Mr. Minshew. I don\u2019t know that I described the land in the Minshew mortgage as the land belonging to Napoleon Hagans. I don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t. I can\u2019t tell the date, but I have rented some land from Hagans. Two or three years. That mortgage to Minshew was intended to cover the crops to be made on the 30 acre piece. (Defendant objects to all about mortgage.) I don\u2019t know that I made another crop lien on that same land in 1895. I don\u2019t remember that I made one then. I made a mortgage to Mr. Peacock in Fremont on the same land. I described the land as mine. I don\u2019t know that I said it was known as the Hagans land. I made a crop lien to Peele & Copeland in 1906. That was to cover crops on the 30 acre piece I guess. I described it as the land known as Will Hagans land. I guess, I don\u2019t know. I might have described it as mine. I made Peele & Copeland another crop lien in 1907 on the same land. I described it as the land known as the Will Hagans land, if its there, I expect I did. I didn\u2019t say in that mortgage that it was my land. On April 16th 1908 I made Peele & Copeland another crop lien. I don\u2019t know that I gave them a mortgage this year. I may have. I guess I did. If it shows it, I did. I described it as my own land. First time that I ever put a statement in a paper or that made reference to crop on this 30 acre piece, that they would be grown on my own land. On March 23rd 1908, I made a real estate mortgage on this land to Peele & Copeland for $420.00. This crop lien I made this year, and also this mortgage on this land was made after the action was made to recover the land. I rented some other land from Hagans beside the 30 acre piece. I didn\u2019t have any of the Hagans land under rent beside the 30 acre tract last year in 1907. I had land rented off, but not the Hagans land. (This action was brought March 18th 1908.) The real estate mortgage to Peele & Copeland was given Mar. 23rd, 1908. Was served Mar. 27th 1908, and the crop lien Apr. 16th 1908.) Last year I didn\u2019t have any of W.S. Hagans\u2019 land rented. I cultivated only the 30 acre tract, and lived in the house on the other side. (Summons introduced by Plaintiff.) At the time Mr. Cook was negotiating about buying this land from Hagans I was cultivating the 30 acre tract, and was living across the line on the 24 acre piece. I knew that Cook was trying to buy the Calv place. I didn\u2019t know that he was trying to buy both places then. Not until I heard from other people that he was trying to buy both places. I heard that a few days before he came up here to get the papers fixed. When I heard this news, I didn\u2019t go see Mr. Coley. I happened to see him. I was just passing and saw him. He spoke to me first about it. He said he understood Mr. Cook was about to buy all the land about there, and mine too. He said why didn\u2019t I let him know. He said if he had known it he would have bought some. I told him I understood they were going to fix the papers the next day. I said if he is, I am going to Goldsboro, and he said if you go, and he and Cook don\u2019t trade, tell Hagans to send me a note. I went the next day, and I told him exactly what he told me. I carried it to him. The rumor was that he Cook was buying both places. I told Coley that if anybody got it I would rather him get it, for I didn\u2019t think that I could get along with Mr. Cook. I didn\u2019t have any reference to my place. I didn\u2019t tell Coley that I didn\u2019t mean the 30 acre piece. I told him myself. I told him I understood Mr. Cook was trying to but all the land down there, trying to buy the 30 acre piece and the 24 acre piece. I told him I was coming to Goldsboro, he asked me to speak to Hagans. I told him if anybody had to have it, I had rather for him to have it than Cook. I came and saw Hagans. I didn\u2019t ask Hagans not to sell it to Cook. I didn\u2019t ask him to let Coley have it. I didn\u2019t tell him I would get along better with Coley than Cook. I didn\u2019t say that. I don\u2019t remember that I told Hagans I could get along better with Coley than Cook. I don\u2019t swear, but I never told him that. I told Coley. I told Hagans what Coley said, if he and Mr. Cook didn\u2019t trade to send him a note. Hagans and Coley did trade. They went to my place. I got in the buggy with him. Rode over to Mr. Coleys. They were talking but I don\u2019t know what they were talking about. They were around the house. I didn\u2019t hear a word except that Hagans would see him later, maybe some other things were said, I don\u2019t remember. I didn\u2019t hear how much Coley was to give him for it, not until he had bought it. Mr. Coley came, but I don\u2019t know if he came to see me. He just passed by. He didn\u2019t say anything about renting it. He said he never knew where these lines were, and he said he wanted me to go around and show them to him. I don\u2019t know whether he had any deed for it or not. I went all around and showed him the lines between his and mine too. There was a fence off the line a little. He told me to take the fence and put it around the pasture. He didn\u2019t say he wanted me to. I didn\u2019t move the rails of the fence, because Mr. Cook saw me with my cart. He said that fence was on the line of the 30 acre place, and told me not to move it. I didn\u2019t because Cook said it was on the line. I went to move it. This fence was on the line between the 30 acre place and Cook\u2019s line, not between the 30 and 24 acre pieces. Mr. Coley came back at another time, and talked about renting the land. Never reached any agreement. He said Uncle Tom aren\u2019t you going to rent it. I said \u201cNo, I never rented my land.\u201d I told him all the time it was my land, when I was showing him the corners etc. He was Now was the time to stir while it was hot. I told him I didn\u2019t have to rent my own land. I told anybody that it was my land. I don\u2019t know when I told Coley first it was my land. He knew I suppose that it was my land. I told him before I went to see Hagans that it was mine. I offered to buy from Hagans an acre along the 24 acre piece. He asked me if I couldn\u2019t get somebody else to buy the rest of it. I told him I didn\u2019t know. I never offered to buy the 30 acre piece, in presence of Reid or anybody else, nor offered to pay any on the mortgage, but I told him I could take up the mortgage. I told him that this year, and told him so last year. This last winter. I made a mortgage to H.J. Harrell in 1895. It was intended to cover crop on the 30 acre tract. I described it as the Hagans & Ward land. I tended some land on the Ward place, the other was on the 30 acre piece. That was on the 11th of May, 1908. (Book 18, Page 180) Reason I didn\u2019t move the fence was because Cook stopped me. I didn\u2019t go to see Coley and tell him what Cook said. I told him about about it. I don\u2019t remember where I told him, but I told him. I said Mr. Coley Mr. Cook said you gave him these rails, and he said no he didn\u2019t. Cook had done moved the rails. I was aiming to have the line run. I went to have the lines turned out. I knew the fence was off the line for maybe 25 years. I never have had it run. I didn\u2019t advise Mr. Coley to have it run. I showed Mr. Coley lines and corners, because he asked me to go around with him. I told him at the time it was my land. I didn\u2019t tell Coley he would get Cook\u2019s tobacco barn. I told him the line would strike the tobacco barn. It was on my side. There had been a division since then. He had alreday told me that Hagans had sold him the land, he wanted to know the land between me and him. He said, \u201cLet\u2019s go all around and we went with two more men. I told him it was my land. He asked me why didn\u2019t I stir it while it was hot. He said not to let it get cold, do it now. I gave Peele & Copeland a lien on this land for $420. for supplies etc. I owed for supplies last year and for now. I have a statement of how much I owed him. He had crop lien as security last year. I paid him some. I owed him about $300 together with the mule claim and cow, they amounted to about $200 or $300. I gave him a note for $420. I bought the mule from Mr. Pat Coley. He stood for me. That was put in the Peele & Copeland mortgage. They took up my claim for Mr. Pat Coley. I gave them a mortgage for $420.",

        "raw_content": "Title: Made to Order: A Preliminary Review of Crime Risk Assessments in New South Wales, Australia\nKeywords: crime risk assessments\nAbstract: In 2001, guidelines were introduced in New South Wales (NSW) to ensure that proposed developments/redevelopments of the built environment reflected key crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) principles. The guidelines state that in certain circumstances a crime risk assessment report is required on the proposed development. To date, these guidelines have not been evaluated, making it impossible to assess their impact and the utility of the associated crime risk assessment reports. Partially to address this gap, a small number (four) of publicly available crime risk assessment reports have been reviewed and key issues highlighted here. In particular, the relevance of some aspects of these reports is questioned, as is the impact of the relationship between the client (i.e. developer) commissioning the report and the \u2018independent\u2019 consultant. The small sample of risk assessment reports reviewed here cannot be considered representative of the larger body of such reports. Further research is required to determine the veracity of the findings of this small review.\nClancey_CCC FINAL.pdf 244.09 kB Adobe PDF View/Open",

        "title": "Game of Thrones Recap/Review: Season 6, Episode 2 \u201cHome\u201d | SF Bluestocking",
        "raw_content": "Game of Thrones Recap/Review: Season 6, Episode 2 \u201cHome\u201d\nAnother week, another episode of Game of Thrones that proves both that the show really is capable of doing some things right and that the show\u2019s writers have no clue what those things are or how to replicate their successes in any kind of consistent fashion. It\u2019s the great moments\u2014albeit few and far between\u2014that keep me coming back to this show even though I know that, objectively, it\u2019s the worst kind of trash programming, made even more offensively bad by the fact that they\u2019re spending like $10 million and episode to make it happen. That said, most of \u201cHome\u201d isn\u2019t extraordinarily bad or good; it\u2019s simply boring, and nothing happens that isn\u2019t expected, either because its demanded by the (ridiculous) narrative that the show\u2019s writers have created, or because it\u2019s so obviously exactly the sort of nonsense that we know the show for that one can\u2019t possibly be truly surprised by it.\nSpoilers, obviously, under the cut.\nThe hour starts off with Bran stuff, which is almost by necessity mind-numbingly dull. I\u2019ve always found Bran\u2019s chapters to be the most boring in the books, largely because his journey is so disconnected from the paths of every single other character that it\u2019s not always easy to even see why Bran\u2019s story is very relevant other than that he is a Stark kid and not dead. The simple answer to the problem of Bran\u2019s chapters in the books, of course, is that George R.R. Martin is playing a very long game and that there is going to be some kind of grandly satisfying payoff for our patience with Bran\u2019s stuff in the end. I fully expect for Bran to become a significantly important figure in The Winds of Winter, and I suspect that his abilities as a greenseer will figure largely in the resolution of events north of the Wall.\nThe show has also struggled to find a place for Bran in its narrative, and last season he was absent entirely and mostly not missed, especially since season four Bran stuff was some of the worst garbage adaptation D&D have ever done\u2014which is saying something. A year (or, really, almost two years) off from Bran and his mysterious, mystical journey will have given most of the audience some time to forget (or at least gloss over in our minds) the worst aspects of season four, and it gives the show some opportunity to reinvent the character and his story in a very different show landscape than existed two years ago. While I\u2019m not entirely sold on what the show is making of Bran, I have to admit that they made relatively smart use of him this week in order to introduce what passes for an overarching theme of the episode.\nWe see Bran first (sort of\u2014it\u2019s very poorly lit) wrapped in the branches of the Three-Eyed Raven\u2019s tree, and the eyes of both Bran and his new mentor are white to show that they\u2019re doing their magic thing. They\u2019re at Winterfell, in the past, and Bran is fascinated by seeing his father, uncle and aunt as children. It\u2019s a nicely conceived, thematically appropriate flashback, but it doesn\u2019t actually convey any important information. Probably it exists to reintroduce us to the Starks and to give us some idea of who Lyanna is ahead of the likely revelations involving her character later in the season, so I suppose it works at that. Certainly, it\u2019s the smartest use of a flashback so far on the show, and I can kind of see where they\u2019re going with this.\nThe one concrete fact we learn from this flashback, however, regards Hodor, who it turns out was once a boy of seemingly average capabilities who was called Willas. Here\u2019s the thing, though: Hodor\u2019s name was never Willas, at least not in the source material. His name was Walder, and if I remember correctly, Hodor is just a mispronunciation of that. You know who was named Willas, though? Willas Tyrell, who GRRM has publically lamented being cut from the show. In light of that, this decision feels almost like a not-so-subtle jab at the author of the source material, who has distanced himself considerably from the show in the last couple of seasons. If that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s beyond petty and childish of the writers, and this disclosure (kind of) of Hodor\u2019s backstory isn\u2019t very relevant or interesting to, well, anything. Even worse, it creates the potential for a narrative about disability in which I could easily see either Hodor, Bran, or both being \u201ccured\u201d of their respective afflictions. At the very least, it feels as if the audience is being primed to care more about Hodor because we now know that he wasn\u2019t always disabled, as if that is the greatest tragedy about the character. The ways that Hodor was utilized in the books weren\u2019t always the best, but I\u2019ve always felt the GRRM has a very real sympathy and respect for the character\u2019s basic humanity and that he tries to explore that and get into the ethics of Bran\u2019s warging into him and so on. The show has never done anything to suggest that it\u2019s capable of that kind of nuance, but it\u2019s still disappointing that it can\u2019t be bothered to even attempt it.\nWhat I found most infuriating about the Bran segment of \u201cHome,\u201d however, comes at the end of it. Hodor carries Bran outside to see Meera, who seems to still be deeply grieving her brother\u2019s death and suffering from the trauma of her experiences. She\u2019s also clearly tired of being stuck beyond the Wall watching Bran have visions day in and day out while unable to really do anything herself. For a young, active woman with some combat skills, it must be incredibly frustrating feel so helpless. Don\u2019t worry, though! The show has recast the Child of the Forest, Leaf, so that she can explain to Meera that all Meera needs to do is give up her own ambitions and forget about having feelings or desires of her own because Bran needs her. Because it\u2019s not enough that Meera hasn\u2019t left yet, in spite of her own frustrations and misgivings. She needs a lecture and a guilt trip to keep her in her place and make sure that she and the audience know that it\u2019s bad for her to feel resentful or doubtful about the usefulness of what she\u2019s doing with Bran. Thank goodness that\u2019s all cleared up now.\nAt the Wall, Alliser Thorne is trying one last time to sweet talk Davos and company into coming out without a fight. \u201cNobody needs to die tonight\u201d doesn\u2019t sound very convincing, though, with a bunch of crossbows pointed at the door while you take a sledgehammer to it. Just in the nick of time, though, Dolorous Edd shows up with the Wildlings and puts an end to that nonsense. It\u2019s a scene that is basically equal parts ridiculous and kind of cool. I love the show\u2019s giants, top to bottom, so I was thrilled to see them make use of one here\u2014the show hasn\u2019t named him, but I\u2019m calling him Wun Wun regardless\u2014but the actual conflict kind of fizzles in one of the worst anticlimaxes the show has given us to date. After all the buildup last week and this\u2014with Alliser and Davos negotiating and endless meandering shots of Jon Snow\u2019s body and Edd having to go get the Wildlings to save the day and Davos making a show of pulling out his sword and Ghost growling up a storm while a guy is beating down the door\u2014it\u2019s all over in a moment. Wun Wun smashes through the gate, Tormund kills one dude, everyone stands around looking nonplussed for a minute, a guy shoots an arrow at the giant and gets smashed against a wall, and then Thorne and Olly and a couple of other guys are easily disarmed and sent to crow jail. It\u2019s not altogether terrible, but it definitely feels far too easy for everyone involved.\nOh, also, they are totally going to burn Jon\u2019s body finally. For real, obv. Definitely this isn\u2019t one last fake-out\u2014complete with a lingering shot on Jon\u2019s bloody corpse. I guess it\u2019s a good thing he didn\u2019t turn into a zombie during all the time they were dicking around with stuff, which feels like at least a couple of days, although the lighting situation at Castle Black never changes. It\u2019s pretty much always so dark that I can barely see what\u2019s happening.\nIn King\u2019s Landing, zombie Gregor Clegane does not appreciate a guy telling lewd stories about Cersei and smashes the guy\u2019s head against a wall. I\u2019m not sure how zombie Gregor even knows that this is happening, to be honest\u2014Is Cersei just letting her zombie roam around town on his own instead of guarding her?\u2014but this is a thing that happens. It\u2019s a strange act of random violence that, frankly, wastes time that could have been better spent elsewhere, and while I ought to be used by now to the show squandering time and resources, this is a particularly egregious case of it. It doesn\u2019t show us anything particularly new, and it\u2019s not tied to the episode\u2019s bigger themes (such as they are). I suppose it could be a sly\u2014so sly that it would be easy to miss for book readers and nearly impossible to catch for those who aren\u2019t familiar with the source material\u2014reference to the way Gregor Clegane is supposed to have kill the infant Aegon Targaryen during Robert\u2019s Rebellion. However, unlike with the source material, there\u2019s not even the smallest pretense of mystery surrounding the identity of this new Kingsguard. It might not be entirely known to the populace of King\u2019s Landing, but it\u2019s always been completely clear to the audience. I suppose the show could be setting up some kind of situation where Cersei faces some kind of consequences when it becomes widely known in King\u2019s Landing what she and Qyburn have done, but that level of subtle foreshadowing and plot development is usually beyond this show. It\u2019s much more likely that someone in the writers\u2019 room thought this would be cool and no one said no because of course they didn\u2019t. So Shocking\u2122.\nIt\u2019s the day of Myrcella\u2019s funeral, and Tommen has Cersei grounded to her room, which is actually kind of a dick move on his part, even if he thinks she did have Trystane killed. Two things about this: I\u2019m still not clear on exactly how the Sand Snakes managed to kill Trystane and escape so entirely, and Tommen should definitely not take any advice from someone as hopelessly na\u00efve as his uncle father Jaime. Sure, Cersei didn\u2019t have Trystane killed, but Tommen is right; she definitely would if she had the chance, and probably definitely would have actually done it if Obara and Nym hadn\u2019t gotten to him first. In any case, this whole conversation between Tommen and Jaime is a total burning garbage pile of toxic masculinity and Jaime giving awful advice.\nTommen has all kinds of reasons to be angry with his mother, and so does Jaime for that matter, but instead of an uncle father and nephew son bonding over their love for a difficult woman or their shared frustration with Cersei\u2019s manipulation or her day drinking or her suicidally ill-advised ambitions, poor Tommen gets a guilt trip about any negative feelings he might have, has all his toxic-masculinity-fueled feelings of shame validated and encouraged, and is told to go beg his mother\u2019s forgiveness. At the very least, Jaime should be completely familiar with Cersei\u2019s emasculating tendencies, but he sends his son right back into that lion\u2019s den just as Tommen seems to be making some decisions for himself that might actually improve his situation and enable him to accomplish his goals on his own. I can\u2019t help but feel sorry for the poor little guy, and when he actually does go to his mother, you can already see the wheels turning in Cersei\u2019s head as she calculates her new options now that Tommen is back under her power.\nSpeaking of dick moves, Jaime\u2019s conversation with the High Sparrow after Tommen leaves the sept is moderately interesting. Sadly, though, it\u2019s a battle of wits, and Jaime is obviously outmatched. What I found most interesting about this scene, though, is that it looks like the show might actually be trying to incorporate at least some small portion of what the Sparrows and the Faith Militant were about in the books, albeit in a completely half-assed and backwards fashion. It\u2019s still not clear what exactly they are trying to get Margaery to confess to, and there\u2019s no update on Loras, but there is some talk about how everyone is equally horrible and deserving of death in the eyes of the gods or whatever and the High Sparrow does talk about being poor even if he doesn\u2019t seem to have any agenda for helping actual poor people. Mostly what this scene proves, though, is that the High Sparrow has much bigger balls than Jaime. Or just that Jaime doesn\u2019t understand how populist movements work. Little of column A, little of column B, probably.\nIn Meereen, Tyrion\u2019s first line of the night is joke about eunuchs because D&D think this is hilarious comedy. It\u2019s not. It\u2019s boring and low brow and even the actors look like they hate it. It\u2019s okay, though, because Tyrion is sure that Varys thinks dwarf jokes. Hahahaha. Haha. Ha. Let\u2019s give this show another fucking Emmy.\nMoving along, though, it\u2019s nice to see Missandei and Grey Worm again in spite of their having to sit around and be insulted to their faces by Tyrion. The line that was teased in one of the pre-season trailers\u2014when Tyrion tells Missandei, \u201cI drink, and I know things\u201d\u2014is every bit as obnoxious as I found it when I first heard it. More context doesn\u2019t really help, and Tyrion is absolutely insufferable throughout the scene as the small group discusses the current state of things in Slaver\u2019s Bay and Meereen before moving on to the topic of what to do about Viserion and Rhaegal, who are still chained under the pyramid and have stopped eaten since Daenerys left. Tyrion decides that he\u2019s going to go down and release the dragons himself, which makes very little sense, but okay.\nIn spite of how ill-advised this idea is and how much it continues to add to Tyrion\u2019s characterization on the show as the worst sort of Gary Stu, I actually kind of love the following scene. The dragons are legitimately gorgeous, and I\u2019ve always liked the story that Tyrion tells them about how he wanted a dragon when he was a boy. When he finally gets to lay hands on one of them and he\u2019s moved almost to tears, it\u2019s a genuinely nice moment. I\u2019m nothing if not a sucker for characters getting to live out, even in a small way, childhood dreams, and I really like stories that deal with people encountering things that they once considered mythological.\nArya is still blind and begging on the streets of Braavos this week, and she gets another nonsensical beating from the Waif, although Arya is able to land a couple of hits of her own this week. There\u2019s a profoundly silly moment where Arya is just spinning and swinging her stick around wildly, and then Jaqen H\u2019ghar is there trying to get her to say her real name. When Arya insists over and over again (well, three times) that \u201ca girl has no name\u201d Jaqen I guess decides that she\u2019s learned her lesson and invites her back to the House of Black and White. She\u2019s \u201cnot a beggar anymore,\u201d but it remains to be seen what becomes of Arya next. I doubt she will get her sight back right away, but there\u2019s really no telling with this show. Arya\u2019s punishment already seems silly, and it\u2019s difficult to say exactly what she\u2019s supposed to have learned from her experience so far this season. Her chapters were never my favorites in the books, and I\u2019ve always felt like she gets bogged down in Braavos. Though the show has handled things very differently, it has the same problem. In two episodes now, nothing much has happened for Arya, and with her scenes so light on meaningful dialogue, there\u2019s not a lot to analyze about them.\nNext up, we\u2019re taken to Winterfell, where Ramsay is trying to convince Roose Bolton that they should march against Jon Snow and the Night\u2019s Watch because that\u2019s probably where Sansa is heading. It seems strange that they wouldn\u2019t have heard of Jon\u2019s assassination yet, but okay. This is happening. Ramsay insists that they don\u2019t need the whole North to follow them, since they have the Manderleys, Karstarks and Umbers on their side, even though those guys haven\u2019t been mentioned since Robb Stark died and much was made of Roose requiring the support of the Lannisters since his role in the Red Wedding burned all his bridges with the other Northerners. Also, that was part of Littlefinger\u2019s deal with Roose, to provide additional help from the Eyrie, I thought. I don\u2019t even know anymore, and it doesn\u2019t matter because right as Roose is tearing Ramsay apart for having such clearly terrible and antisocial ideas, a maester pops in to let them know that Lady Walda has had her baby.\nRamsay promptly congratulates his father, hugs him, and stabs him in a move that is nicely reminiscent of Roose\u2019s own murder of Robb Stark at the Twins, which wasn\u2019t entirely unexpected. Ramsay\u2019s next move\u2014to secure his position as Lord Bolton by doing away with Walda and the baby\u2014is also not unexpected, but the way in which these events are all torturously dragged out is gratuitously awful even for this show. There are at least five full minutes here that could have been cut after Ramsay told the maester to send for Lady Walda, and the manner in which the show forces us to watch her death unfold, including the baby crying and Walda begging for their lives as Ramsay slowly and methodically unlocks the kennels, is downright unpleasant. It\u2019s condescending to the audience, who could easily intuit Ramsay\u2019s intentions towards his stepmother and infant brother, and it\u2019s, frankly, a colossal waste of screen time when there is so much story to be told and so much of the source material is left unadapted. This is all made worse by the contemptuous way in which Walda has been treated all along, so that her final fate is adding injury to a great deal of insult. Even Ramsay\u2019s final line to her\u2014\u201cI prefer being an only child\u201d\u2014is one that seems weirdly calculated to put the audience on Ramsay\u2019s side and turns Walda\u2019s brutal and entirely undeserved death into a joke at her expense.\nElsewhere in the North, Sansa and company are taking a break from their journey to the Wall so they can ill-advisedly build a fire (I mean, come on. That\u2019s going to give away their position to anyone for miles around!) and so they can talk. I\u2019m glad that Brienne finally told Sansa that she saw Arya, though I\u2019m disappointed that she didn\u2019t mention the Hound by name. It also doesn\u2019t make much sense that, if Brienne was aware that Arya didn\u2019t want to leave the Hound, Brienne would try to kill the guy, but my expectations for this show to make sense are getting lower and lower every week. I also hate that, though Brienne doesn\u2019t say \u201cI told you so,\u201d there\u2019s a distinct tone to that effect when the conversation turns to Sansa\u2019s decision not to go with Brienne when they first met. It\u2019s vaguely and insidiously victim-blaming, and that sucks. Still, I definitely enjoyed seeing Sansa speak lovingly of Arya, even if it is just for a moment.\nThe other important conversation that happens here is between Sansa and Theon, and this one is less problematic. I\u2019m not hugely into Theon\u2019s redemption arc in the show, mostly because it\u2019s a gross bastardization of Theon\u2019s arc in the books, but they manage to inject it with some amount of nuance in this conversation. It\u2019s good to see that Theon seems to be cognizant of the magnitude of his sins, and there\u2019s both a sweetness and a maturity in Sansa\u2019s attempts to comfort him and her sadness at his decision not to go to the Wall with her. She appreciates that he\u2019s helped her, and she wants to help him in return, but she also recognizes, at least on some level, the futility of it. Unfortunately, Theon\u2019s decision to try returning to the Iron Islands instead of taking the black kind of ruins the moment because it makes almost no sense. I guess that\u2019s happening, though.\nTheon\u2019s voicing of his choice, nonsensical as it is, does let the show segue right into a segment in the Iron Islands, where Balon and Yara Greyjoy are arguing/expositing about the things they\u2019ve done in previous seasons. Balon threatens to make a new heir if Yara pisses him off too much, and then he decides to go out walking on a rickety bridge during a hurricane, where his estranged brother throws him off onto the rocks below. Asha is such a great character in the books, but I find myself struggling to care about Yara on the show, mostly because I have no faith whatsoever in D&D\u2019s ability to adapt this material in a coherent way. The introduction of Euron Greyjoy is deeply silly so far, from the too-young actor, to his too-posh accent, to his insane-sounding dialogue that sounds as if he is supposed to be a sort of amalgamation of all three of Balon\u2019s brothers from the books. The introduction of the Kingsmoot idea is equally absurd and poorly executed. Somehow the show contrived to make sure that they got across the point that Yara would be the first woman ever to rule the Iron Islands, but they failed to convey that the Kingsmoot is an ancient tradition that is only being revived in order to keep Yara from inheriting (as has been the practice for hundreds of years) specifically because she is a woman, which kind of misses a big part of the point of the whole exercise.\nFinally, we return to Castle Black, where Melisandre is moping in front of the fire when Davos shows up to ask her to do something about Jon Snow. Listen, we all know what\u2019s coming. We\u2019ve known since the end of last season. Those of us who have read the books have known for even longer. It\u2019s so obvious, it\u2019s almost embarrassing, but at the same time the show seems determined to get to the point in the most circuitous, nonsensical way possible while completely ignoring characters\u2019 history, personalities, and repeatedly stated feelings.\nBefore I get into what\u2019s so completely wrong with the way that Jon Snow\u2019s resurrection goes down, I should first say that Carice van Houten is mostly excellent as Melisandre, and she definitely makes the most of some garbage material this week. Melisandre\u2019s crisis of faith is convincingly portrayed, and while the events that led to it have definitely been painted in broad strokes and with copious hand-waving, it works here. Unfortunately, Melisandre\u2019s dejection over Stannis\u2019s death and what she sees as proof that her god and her faith have been false all along is about the only thing about this whole mess that feels at all believable.\nA probably non-comprehensive list of ridiculous things that we are supposed to believe about the current events at Castle Black:\nDavos has basically forgotten entirely about Stannis. I\u2019d have to watch both of these first couple episodes a third time each to be totally certain, but I don\u2019t think Davos has even said Stannis\u2019s name this season, much less expressed any grief or sense of loss over the king he loved. I don\u2019t even have to rewatch the episodes to be sure that Davos hasn\u2019t mentioned Shireen Baratheon at all.\nDavos has become deeply embroiled in the affairs of the Night\u2019s Watch, and in just a few days since Stannis\u2019s death has become a strong partisan of Jon Snow in spite of the fact that they barely knew each other previous to this.\nBoth the loyal-to-Jon members of the Night\u2019s Watch and the Wildlings under Tormund defer to Davos\u2019s judgment and are willing to stand with and fight for him unto death in order to I guess protect Jon\u2019s legacy or something?\nAlthough almost everyone at Castle Black must have now had at least some first- or second-hand experience with a zombie by this point and at least one man of the Night\u2019s Watch has come back as a wight within the very walls of the castle and it\u2019s customary for both the Night\u2019s Watch and the Wildlings to burn their dead as soon as possible after death, Jon Snow\u2019s body has been kept, and not even under watch or guard.\nEven when Tormund finally says he\u2019s going to go get things ready to burn the body, early in this episode, no one actually does it, which gives Davos plenty of time to go and convince Melisandre to try and resurrect Jon somehow.\nDavos knows that there is at least an outside chance that Melisandre can resurrect someone, even though at no point in the show has he been exposed to this information. Melisandre\u2019s side trip in which she met Beric and Thoros, which is where she would have gotten the idea if it was truly something she didn\u2019t already know was possible, was a journey she took alone, and we\u2019ve never seen her speak about it to anyone, much less Davos, who has never had any love for the red priestess.\nDavos, though not a devout man, has for some reason decided to put his faith in Melisandre, even though he has long been a critic of what he considers dark and evil magic that she performs and skeptical of her religious claims. If anything, recent events seem like they would make him more distrustful of her, not less.\nWe are also to believe that Davos holds no ill will towards Melisandre over the deaths of Stannis, Shireen, and thousands of men\u2014a fate which Melisandre only escaped by fleeing on her own right as shit hit the fan. While it\u2019s possible that Davos doesn\u2019t know any of the particulars of how things went down, especially about Shireen\u2019s death by burning, Davos\u2019s previous mistrust and dislike for Melisandre would more naturally and believably lead him to feel resentment towards her for leading Stannis to his death and failing to protect Shireen.\nDavos, a man who is not devout and who is not highly educated (was actually illiterate until very recently) is capable of making impassioned theological arguments to a priestess and suggests magical solutions to problems that Melisandre was unable to think of on her own.\nEveryone is totally okay with a mysterious foreign priestess of a god they have likely never heard of prior to meeting Melisandre perform magic rituals over the dead body of their beloved Lord Commander in order to try and raise him from the dead. Even though most men of the Night\u2019s Watch follow the Faith of the Seven, which would consider Melisandre\u2019s magic heretical, and the Wildlings are almost exclusively believers in the Old Gods of the North and are distrustful of more organized religions. And foreigners. And women. Also, the only experience that the Watch and the Wildlings have had with risen dead so far has been with terrifying zombies that try to murder them all. But they are completely cool with Melisandre raising Jon Snow from the dead.\nBecause Jon Snow is so popular and well-liked and effective as Lord Commander that the Night\u2019s Watch, now inexplicably led by Davos, Edd, and Tormund, just don\u2019t feel like they can do without him, even though Jon has not achieved anything of note during his time as Lord Commander and opinions on his decisions have been polarizing enough to motivate an assassination.\nIn any case, the only thing I\u2019m surprised at in all of this is that we got to see Jon actually wake up before the credits roll. I was certain before the season started that we wouldn\u2019t see it in the first episode, and when it was left so late in this one I rather thought that they\u2019d milk the \u201csuspense\u201d until at least the beginning of the third one. That we don\u2019t have to wait that long is really a testament to how quickly the show is burning through story this season. There were several major events in this episode alone, and I expect more are to come next week.\nAll things considered, though, this episode definitely could have been worse. So far, I have to admit the season is off to an okay start, and I think the show benefits from having somewhat more freedom from the source material. At the same time, there was a lot of stuff here that was either part of A Feast for Crows or A Dance with Dragons or that could be easily extrapolated from one of those novels. For all that much has been made of the show surpassing the books, we\u2019re still firmly in that territory and, honestly, being more faithful to at least some tiny portion of the spirit of the source material than the vast majority of the last two seasons was.\nIn the opening credits, they call it Pyke, not the Iron Islands, but Pyke is only one of the islands, not all of them. On the one hand, they might have thought it would be confusing. On the other hand, this is not confusing at all, and the audience isn\u2019t nearly as stupid as D&D think we all are.\nWhy does Lyanna look older than Eddard?\n\u201cIt is beautiful beneath the sea, but if you stay too long you\u2019ll drown\u201d could be a lovely line in a better-written show.\nI actually hate that the show has decided to portray the lands north of the Wall as just a sort of bleak, Antarctic-looking wasteland. Sure, it\u2019s symbolic or whatever here with Meera glumly looking out at it, but it\u2019s definitely hitting the audience over the head with that symbolism. Plus, it doesn\u2019t actually make sense, just, you know, for how worlds are put together.\nI also dislike how monochromatic all the cities are. King\u2019s Landing is all sort of warm beige-y tones, Meereen is cool beige-y tones, and Braavos is more neutral beige-y and brown tones. I guess it does give each place a distinctive character, but only a distinctively beige one, which is exactly as visually boring as it sounds.\nHow is there literally no one at Myrcella\u2019s funeral?\nI love the way the dragons look, but I do wish they had managed to give them some brighter coloration as described in the books, or at least some differences that would let us tell them apart.\nI definitely want to see Yara feed someone to sharks.\nI feel like D&D probably came in their pants when they finally got to write Melisandre telling Davos that he was right all along.\nI guess on the bright side at least Melisandre didn\u2019t have to get naked to do her magic on Jon Snow.\nI bet the smell of all the burning hair was vile, though.\nGame of ThronesGoT S6Home\nPrevious PostWeekend Links: April 30, 2016Next Post11 Nonsensical Things We\u2019re Supposed to Believe About Davos and Melisandre",

Nestled within southern Orange County resides the picturesque city of Dana Point. The small city boasts a majestic coastline, acclaimed hospitality services, and perhaps most importantly, renowned whale-watching tours.\nDana Point's sought-after tours are hosted by Capt. Dave Anderson, a respected ocean-life educator, and distinguished author and filmmaker, as Dana Point Harbor explains. According to Dolphin Safari, Anderson launched his whale-watching tours in 1995, which is when he learned that very few people actually knew of the wildlife that occupied Dana Point's coastal waters. Dolphin Safari explains that the seasoned captain purchased an underwater camera and hydrophone which he mounted to his boat in order to record the stunning sights captured during each expedition.\nThe video below provides a six-minute glimpse of one of Anderson's whale-watching tours complete with drone footage of blue and gray whales, and a megapod of dolphins swimming near the ocean's surface, as the YouTube description reports. According to Dana Point Harbor, Anderson uses \"high-speed,\" \"high-tech\" catamarans that house a maximum of 49 passengers on any given tour, ensuring that the boat won't be crowded.\nThe footage below includes several shots of the catamaran and one of Anderson himself before he launches the helicopter drone to soar above the sea. Anderson's camera equipment wasn't always as high-tech as it's presented in this video. Dolphin Safari refers to Anderson's early days of filming at sea and how he relied on standard DVRs and handheld recorders to capture the wildlife. Regardless of his common camera gear, Anderson still managed to use the equipment to acquire material for his documentary \"Wild Dolphins and Whales Of Southern California,\" which went on to win seven awards, as cited by Dolphin Safari.\nAnderson's tours remain a popular attraction in Dana Point, especially as more and more people are exposed to his documentary and award-winning book \u201cLily: A Gray Whale\u2019s Odyssey.\" Anderson has also received publicity through a number of television broadcasts, some of which include appearances on the Travel Channel, \"The Ellen Show,\" and ABC, as referenced by Dolphin Safari.\nAnderson's whale-watching tours are $65 for adults and can be booked on the Dolphin Safari website.\n\u00a7 Dolphin Safari, Dolphin Safari, and Dana Point Harbor\nComments Drone Flying Over The Coast Of California Captures Breathtaking Images\nWoman steals wallet, but footage shows witnesses doing nothing about it",

        "raw_content": "In this podcast, David Sachs, Principal at Sachs Gerace Broome, answers questions in relation to common property in Strata.\nSpeaker 1: Need help with a strata law issue? Or a building and construction matter? Sachs Gerace Lawyers is a leading Sydney law firm that can help. With over twenty years\u2019 experience. Sachs Gerace Lawyers focus on commercial litigation, building and construction, strata Law and local government regulation issues. Now, here is your podcast.\nDan: It\u2019s probably not surprising that in some strata schemes there can be uncertainty around who is responsible for the maintenance or repair of certain items, particularly in the context of what is often referred to as common property. Well, to find out more, I\u2019m with David Sachs of Sachs Gerace Broome.\nDan: David, what is common property?\nDavid Sachs: Common property is essentially the residual within a strata scheme and when you\u2019re looking for the definition of common property, there\u2019s a bit of legislation called the Strata Schemes Development Act and it is a formula for identifying what is lot property. The lot property is all the places within the strata scheme where people live or they operate in their unit. And then it says that the common property is everything else other than the lot property.\nDavid Sachs: So, to give you an example, lot property in a standard residential apartment block, the lot property is all of the space, the cubic space between the inner surface of the walls, the ceilings and the floors of any particular apartment and everything else is common property. So, the structure of the walls, the structure of the floors, the structure of the roof, the doors, the windows of the apartment, usually the tiles, the waterproofing, all those bits, the drains, the electricity, the conduits for pipes for getting power or gas or air conditioning, all of those things are common property and they\u2019re the responsibility of the owners\u2019 corporation.\nDan: Now, David, what does an owners\u2019 corporation do if a lot owner wants to have exclusive use of that common property?\nDavid Sachs: This is something that comes up very frequently in owners\u2019 corporations, that a particular lot owner will want to have exclusive use of some common property and sometimes that is because the person has a particular desire to have a common property only for themselves, for example somebody in a garden unit may look after a patch of the garden that\u2019s immediately adjacent to their apartment and is not really used by any other people and is not convenient for other people to use it and so that lot owner would like to exclusively manage and have that area of common property for themselves and that they\u2019re prepared to pay a fee, for example and take on the responsibility of repair and maintenance of that area. That\u2019s something that might suit the owners\u2019 corporation to do that.\nDavid Sachs: It can also arise where a lot owner wants to carry out some renovations and it will come as no surprise that if in doing that the people might want to move some of the- if they want to move a toilet, they\u2019ll need to move the pipes that are connected to the toilet. If they want to move a shower, they will have to move the pipes that bring water into the shower, they will need to move electricity conduits, all those sort of things.\nDavid Sachs: So ancillary to renovations which people are doing every day in apartment blocks is the need to make adjustments to common property and sometimes the renovations that people have got in mind are more significant than that. They want to relocate walls, they need to- even very small adjustments to walls will require some sort of encroachment or intrusion into the common property and that needs to be approved in a particular way. The particular way is that there needs to be a resolution made by the owners\u2019 corporation to authorise that and, in particular, there needs to be a bylaw created to set up the rules around which that common property can be used by the particular lot owner.\nDavid Sachs: Those bylaws and resolutions need to be passed by a special resolution. So, in the ordinary sense you need to get 75% support in favour of it and the bylaw needs to comply with some of the intricate regulations that are in the Strata Schemes Management Act. I\u2019ve seen many of these documents and, really, they rise on or fall on their accuracy and their enforceability and their compliance with the Act. There are bylaws that are drafted in the casual way by somebody who doesn\u2019t know what they are doing- really are a disaster waiting to happen.\nDavid Sachs: These are important things, because the bylaw is attached to the lot itself and they continue forever. So, if I have a unit that has the benefit of a bylaw and I sell it to you, then when I sell my unit to you I sell it with the benefit of the bylaw, so the benefit transfers from me to you. The benefit of the bylaw is only mine whilst I\u2019m the owner of the lot and I had it on.\nDavid Sachs: So, it can be- it\u2019s not much good there being an understanding that I might have about the way these things operated if it\u2019s not reflected in the bylaw. Then when it\u2019s being sold to you, when you sell it to somebody else, then that person, three or four links down the chain is not gonna know what I knew and therefore would not enjoy the benefit of that knowledge. If it\u2019s not in the bylaw, then you can effectively- it\u2019s not something that\u2019s there at all.\nDan: So, David, the lot owner, I\u2019m assuming, would need to get legal advice and so too would the owners\u2019 corporation in regard with this bylaw?\nDavid Sachs: Absolutely. It\u2019s one of the examples where people think it\u2019s an unnecessary intrusion of lawyers of what they think is a very simple thing. The fact is the price of not getting it right can be very, very significant and can lead to significant expensive problems down the line. The owners\u2019 corporation should definitely get advice about the bylaws they\u2019re putting forward, because in the end if it\u2019s something that they want to achieve and it\u2019s something that the community of strata is good for everybody, then people should be able to understand it and want to be comfortable that what they\u2019re doing is in fact correct and complies with the law and is not gonna cause a problem later on. And, of course, lot owners who are asking people to assist them in the way in which they use their lot want to be able to satisfy the owners\u2019 corporation that they\u2019re doing everything according to law.\nDan: Now, David. What if somebody else who is not a lot owner wants to use the common property? What happens in that circumstance?\nDavid Sachs: This is a frequent problem as well. If there\u2019s, for example, a developer next door and that developer wants to use a crane, then they will need the permission of the owners\u2019 corporation to do that and they\u2019ll need a licence from the owners\u2019 corporation. They are very complicated documents that have particular requirements in them, insurance, some indemnities, identifying exactly how the airspace is gonna be used, how long it\u2019s gonna be used. There\u2019s always a right to demand compensation to use the airspace. You can usually speak to the developer about covering your legal costs. These arrangements need to be made and they need to be done properly. They can be of benefit to the owners\u2019 corporation.\nDavid Sachs: There can also be- if something more permanent is required, for example, if the neighbour next door wants to put rock anchors into the substrate of the land on which the strata scheme is built, then there will need to be- easements need to be arranged, because these things are gonna be there forever. That needs to be done in a proper and legal way and the owners\u2019 corporation needs to approve that in general meetings, with motions, etc. They always need to keep one eye also on the possibility that if they don\u2019t comply, then they might receive an application from the developer next door for rights under the Access to Neighbouring Lands Act or being brought into the Supreme Court for a developer who\u2019s thinking to have an easement imposed on an owners\u2019 corporation.\nDavid Sachs: It\u2019s always good in those situations, if they arise, for a strata scheme to get legal advice right away so they know exactly what- not only what their obligations are, but- sorry, not only what their rights are, but also what their responsibilities are. The last thing you wanna do is to be on the receiving end of proceedings in the Supreme Court that\u2019s gonna go on for six to nine months with all the attendant costs involved.\nDavid Sachs: Thanks, Dan.\nSpeaker 1: Thanks for listening.

Many factors come into play when transferring a fact based story to the big screen, from costumes, to historical accuracy, to the ever-present \u201cwill anyone pay to watch this\u201d dilemma. The American Civil War stands among the pivotal moments in our nation\u2019s history, so it stands as no surprise that there have been a plethora of flicks based on that time period made over the years, from the infamous Birth of a Nation in 1915, the legendary Gone with the Wind, and 2003\u2019s Gods and Generals. It was 1989 when a powerful gem named Glory was released into theaters, chronicling the formation of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, an all black regiment mustered in 1863. Directed by Edward Zwick, the movie featured some serious star power in Denzel Washington, Matthew Broderick, Morgan Freeman, Andre Braugher, Cary Elwes, and a host of recognizable faces. Incorporating a triumphant score by James Horner, the film succeeds in painting a multi-layered picture of the trials and hurdles that had to be overcome by black and white troops in the Union Army following the Emancipation Proclamation passed into law by President Lincoln. The film carefully creates a vivid portrait of the main characters, with the simmering tensions of the war serving as a commanding backdrop. I remember getting misty-eyed in the theaters when I saw this film as a kid, and the message that it conveys holds true today. Definitely worth a watch.",

        "raw_content": "7 Things You Didn\u2019t Know About Strokes\nTORACE.TUMBLR.COM\nNo longer only associated with the elderly, recent statistics have shown the age at which the average Briton will experience their first stroke has fallen significantly, with women more at risk than men.\nFour in ten new strokes are now occurring in the age group 40 to 69, equivalent to 22,000 new strokes every year. Intrigued? Keep reading to discover what\u2019s behind the shift in figures and how to safeguard your health against this potentially deadly condition...\n1. What exactly is a stroke?\nA stroke is similar to a heart attack, except it affects the brain. A heart attack happens when blood suddenly can\u2019t get through to a part of your heart; and a stroke happens when blood suddenly can\u2019t reach certain parts of your brain.\nDuring a stroke, cells in the affected areas of the brain become damaged because they\u2019re not getting the oxygen they need from the blood, which can have long-term consequences on both the mind and body.\nAround 85% of all strokes are ischaemic (caused by a clot, or blockage cutting off the bloody supply to the brain) while the remaining 15% are haemorrhagic (caused by a blood vessel bursting within, or on, the surface of the brain). Urgent treatment of either kind of stroke is essential and the sooner a person receives treatment, the less damage is likely to happen.\n2. So what\u2019s the latest?\nNew figures show strokes are becoming more common among British middle-aged adults, with obesity and poor diets allegedly driving the trend. Statistics have revealed that although the majority of strokes happen to people aged 70 and over, it seems an increasing number of younger people are also experiencing them, with 38% of first-time incidents occurring in those aged between 40-69 years old.\nThe latest figures show one person in six in the UK will have stroke this year with strokes now the third most common cause of death in the under 75s.\n3. What\u2019s behind the figures?\nSenior doctors believe lifestyle factors are responsible for the shift. A study in the British Journal of Psychiatry revealed drinking has become one of the biggest causes of illnesses in the baby-boomer generation, with strokes up on the list.\nPublic Health England has also claimed poor diet, higher rates of obesity and smoking are putting millions of Britons at risk \u2013 two in three British adults are now classed as overweight or obese.\n4. How can you tell if someone is having a stroke?\nStrokes usually happen suddenly and no two are the same. To an extent, the symptoms of a stroke depend on which area of the brain is damaged, because different parts control different abilities such as speaking, memory, swallowing and moving.\nThe most common signs of a stroke include numbness or weakness in your face, arm or leg, especially on one side; confusion or trouble understanding others; difficulty seeing with one or both eyes; trouble walking or staying balanced or coordinated; dizziness; and severe headache that comes on for no reason.\n5. Why are women more at risk than men?\nHealth experts believe there are some risk factors specific to women when it comes to strokes. Firstly, it\u2019s believed high levels of the female hormone oestrogen can make the blood more likely to clot. Overall, the risks are very low but if you are concerned about using the Pill \u2013 which can raise levels of oestrogen \u2013 speak to your GP.\nSecondly, it is believed that during pregnancy, health conditions such as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes can raise your risk of a stroke.\n6. Is anyone else at risk?\nYes \u2013 if a close relative (parent, grandparent, brother or sister) has had a stroke, your risk is likely to be higher. At the same time, if you are of South Asian origin, or from an African or Caribbean background, you may be at a higher risk of stroke than other people in the UK \u2013 people in these groups can be more likely to have conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, which can raise your stroke risk.\n7. Is there anything you can do to prevent a stroke?\nHealth experts believe simple lifestyle factors can have a significant impact on stroke prevention. These include:\nMonitoring your blood pressure: High blood pressure can increase your risk of a stroke \u2013 those over the age of 40 should have regular checks (at least every five years). A normal blood pressure is defined as the upper level below 140 mmHg and the lower level below 90 mmHg.\nWatching your weight: Make healthy decisions and choose heart-healthy fats such as fish and nuts, and avoid processed foods with little nutritional value or high salt and fat content. Also make an effort to stay active, partaking in physical activity at least three or four times a week.\nQuitting smoking: There are hundreds of reasons to quit smoking, and preventing a stroke is yet another one. Smoking causes plaque build-up in your arteries, damages your blood vessels and increases your blood pressure \u2013 all factors that could potentially contribute to a stroke.\nDrinking less: Excessive amounts of alcohol can increase the risk of a stroke. The recommended limit is 14 weekly units for women \u2013 people who drink more than this run a higher risk of stroke, high blood pressure and liver disease.\nIf you think you or someone you know is having a stroke, remember the acronym F.A.S.T:\nF= FACE: ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?\nA= ARM: ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?\nS= SPEECH: Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Does the speech sound slurred or strange?\nT= TIME: If you observe any of these signs, call 999 immediately.\nFor more information, check out the official NHS advice.\n#MillennialProblems: New Year, Same Old You\nSL\u2019s Features Writer puts the world to rights.\nHow To Improve Your Decision-Making",

        "raw_content": "Brythonic Celtic language and a recognised minority language of the United Kingdom\nCornish is a very old language from the unitary authority area of Cornwall in the southwest of England, UK. Cornish is a Celtic language and is very similar to Welsh, and slightly to Gaelic.\n13,000 fluent[1]\nA long time ago Cornish was the only language spoken in Cornwall, but more and more people began to speak English instead of Cornish. In 1550, when the prayer book was written in English instead of Latin, the Cornish people got angry and there was a rebellion. Because many Cornish speakers died and because they would now hear the Bible in English the language was used less and less.\nBy 1800 there were only a few people who could speak Cornish, and no-one spoke it to each other any more. The language was then considered endangered.\nPeople say that a woman called Dolly Pentreath was the last person who could speak Cornish. This is not quite true, but she was one of the last people to use it instead of English.\nMethods of spreadingEdit\nSome people learned about Cornish by traveling around talking to people who could still speak it and by reading old plays and books. Some people wanted to learn the language and speak it, so in 1904 a learned man called Henry Jenner wrote a book to help people. After this some people began to learn the language and speak it again.\nNo one knows how many Cornish speakers there are now. People think there are probably about 8,000 to 13,000 people who speak Cornish. Some young people have grown up speaking it. A majority of people in Cornwall know a few sentences or words in Cornish. In a hundred years the Cornish language has grown from almost no speakers to many thousands which is very exciting for many people.\nThere are now many new books, films and songs in Cornish. The Bible has now been translated into Cornish. There is an event called the open Gorseth where there is a story and poetry competition. Sometimes Cornish is used in churches.\nThere used to be a problem with Cornish, in that there were three different dictionaries with different spellings and people did not agree about how to write the words, or how to say them. This was confusing for people when they have not been speaking long, so in 2008 people who used the different types of Cornish came together and agreed on a new standard form of Cornish to be used everywhere.\nThe beginning of Origo Mundi (Origin of the World) a play written in Cornish in the late 14th century\nHere are some words in Cornish:\nKernowek: Cornish\nKernow: Cornwall\nDen: Man\nBenyn: Woman\nDuw genes!: Goodbye!\nDydh da!: Good day!\nOnen hag oll: One and all\nGorthugher da : Good afternoon.\n\u2191 \"'South West:TeachingEnglish:British Council:BBC\".

        "raw_content": "Home About Single Christianity Magazine\nAbout Single Christianity Magazine\nSingle Christianity Magazine is a blog style interactive magazine created by bible believing Christian singles. SCM provides insight and transparency to what single Christians, who fail every day, go through, and how they tackle life issues while moving forward in their relationship with Christ. Our staff, guest, and featured writers provide resources for the common sense Christian single that are both practical and Biblically sound.\nSingle Christianity\u2019s vision is to encourage, equip, and inspire single Christians to live out daily joy and contentment through Jesus Christ.\nOur mission is to be the Christian resource for the single Christians encouraging them to enjoy the gift of singleness, equipping them with the tools to grow in spiritual depth, and inspiring them to reach out and share their faith with others.\nGod is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. These are co-equal and are one God. Genesis 1:1,26,27,3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; I Peter 1:2; II Corinthians 13:14\nJesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sin of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven\u2019s glory and will return again someday to earth to reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1: 1-5, 14: 10-30; Hebrews 4: 14, 15; I Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9-11; I Tim 6:14-15; Titus 2:13\nAbout the Holly Spirit\nThe Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father, and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians we seek to live under His daily control. II Corinthians 3: 17; John 16:7-13; 14:16, 17; Acts 1:8; I Corinthians 2:12,3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18\nThe Bible is God\u2019s Word to us. It was written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because God inspires it; it is truth without any mixture of error. II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20, 21; II Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119: 105, 160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5\nWe believe that man was created in the image of God and though he was made for fellowship with God, the first man sinned, and thereby incurred the judgment of death, which occurred in him first spiritually (he was separated from God), which leads to physical death, which can lead to eternal death. All men are born with a sin nature and all are sinners in thought, word and deed. The great need of sinful men is to be restored to fellowship with God. Romans 3:23, 5:12; Psalm 51:5. Ephesians 2:1\nWe believe that God, in His sovereign grace and in His eternal purpose, has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified and accepted on the basis of His shed blood. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ arose from the dead on the third day, according to the Scriptures; that He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God as the believer\u2019s High Priest and Advocate. We believe that salvation is God\u2019s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God\u2019s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin\u2019s penalty. When we turn from the self-ruled life to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his life by faith. Ephesians 1:4; I Cor. 15:3; II Cor. 5:21; Romans 5:9; Mark 16:1-14; Acts 1:9-11; Hebrews 1:3; 4:14; 7:25; I John 2:1-2; Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-9; John 14:6; 1: 12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5: 1\nPeople were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence. John 3: 16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; I Cor. 2:7-9\nGet to know the people of Single Christianity!",

In each chapter, the author introduces the main topic, then compares a traditional approach to the topic with a behavior analytic approach. Also included are logical extensions to ideas and concepts students may have heard about in other psychology courses, but about which students may have thought behavior analysis has nothing to say.\nEach chapter is self-contained, which allows instructors to rearrange topics to suit their courses.

        "raw_content": "\"Civil rights advocates, social scientists and regular citizens have all called out President Trump as a racist in recent weeks. The president\u2019s supporters have countered with stories about the blacks and Latinos he has hired or befriended, and with personal testimonies: \u201cI\u2019ve known Donald Trump for many years. He doesn\u2019t have a racist bone in his body.\u201d\nAs a professor who researches and teaches courses on the health effects of race, racism and inequality, I can assure you that the president's defenders are wrong. Trump is a racist. What he says and does meets the scholarly definition of the term.\nBroadly speaking, a racist combines negative prejudicial biases with sufficient power to leverage action against targeted groups. Trump's words and behaviors demonstrate considerable prejudicial bias, and, as president of the United States \u2014 arguably the most powerful office in the contemporary world \u2014 he has indeed leveraged action against various groups.\nRacism is predicated on belief in the scientifically discredited concept of biological race. Skin color simply has no correlation with significant inherent distinctions among human beings. However, \"race\" in the past and now has led to notions of a natural hierarchy among various populations. In the United States, it was used to justify stealing labor from black Africans through slavery and stealing land from red Native Americans through forced relocation and genocide.\nAs far back as Colonial days, northwestern European immigrants placed themselves at the pinnacle of the pecking order while relegating populations of color and other ethnic groups to inferior positions. False perceptions of inherent differences in traits, such as intelligence or work ethic, have been systematically associated with geographic origin, ancestry, skin color or some combination of all three.\"\nJay A.

        "raw_content": "Home Projects Commercial Solar HK\u2019s Largest Solar Power Farm at the Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment...\nHong Kong Landscape\nHong Kong \u2013 an expensive city\nHong Kong, a special administrative region of the People\u2019s Republic of China, has been known as one of the most expensive cities in the world. Statistics from Numbeo reveal that, the price per square meter to buy an apartment in City Center is about 23,762.89 US dollars; even if an apartment is outside of the City Center, the price per square meter can be also as high as 15,051 US dollars.\nSo, land is MORE precious than gold in Hong Kong. It can be said that it\u2019s unrealistic to free up much space to construct a solar power farm, especially a large-scale one. In general, most officials would prefer a skyscraper or public housing for low-income citizens.\nOn the other hand, energy is regarded as the engine of the development of a city \u2013 it\u2019s not easy for the government to balance the relationship between renewables and economic efficiency in this new era.\nEven so, as the charm of renewables has been obtained in-depth experience by many citizens, and advances have been achieved in the technical fields, more and more renewable power farms with good economic results are gradually appearing in this \u201cgold city\u201d.\nThe largest solar power farm located at the Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works\nRecently the largest solar power farm, located at the Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works, was officially put into operation.\nThis solar power farm, consists of 4,200 pieces of polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, is expected to generate 1.1 million kWh of solar power per year. And in the meantime, it can help reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by about 770 tons.\nSolar Power Farm at the Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works. Photo: GovHK\nTo make this concrete-structured solar power farm more flexible, then profitable, engineers utilized concrete bases to install the photovoltaic panels, without attached devices used to fix the photovoltaic arrays to the ground. So the \u201cfarm\u201d can be easy to relocate to a proper place for better sunlight absorption and power conversion.\nAdditionally, many digital screens are installed next to the photovoltaic panels to display real-time data, which help better monitor and master the operation of the solar power farm.\nMr Edwin TONG Ka-hung, Director of the Drainage Services Department (DSD), said that the Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works has been providing sewage treatment services for a total of around 200,000 citizens who are based in Chek Lap Kok Airport, Tung Chung, Discovery Bay and Hong Kong Disneyland. This solar power farm is sufficient to meet approximately a quarter of the power demand of the water treatment works \u2013 that equivalent to the annual power consumption of 230 households or a 30-storey residential building.\nPlanform. Photo: GovHK\nActually, there\u2019re many other solar photovoltaic farms to be built\nEdwin TONG also added that besides the project at the Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works, the DSD is planning to install small-scale solar photovoltaic systems in other 20 facilities, basing on their local conditions. As the one mentioned in this article, these solar photovoltaic systems are designed to satisfy a portion of the power demand of their corresponding facilities where they\u2019re located.\nSince a large amount of biogas can be produced during the sewage treatment process, the DSD is considering actively making good use of this type of renewable energy. One of the approaches is to convert the biogas into electricity and thermal energy, aiming to reduce the dependence on traditional power supply.\nEdwin TONG also explained that the utilization of renewables like solar energy and biogas by the Department is generating considerable energy equivalent to 32 million kWh of power per year. This amount can satisfy one-tenth of the total energy demand of the sector.\nAccording to relevant statistics, the DSD has over 300 flood control and sewage treatment facilities, and is operating nearly 70 water treatment works. The total capacity of sewage treatment per year has reached 1 billion cubic meters, equivalent to the capacity of 400,000 standard swimming pools.\nSEE ALSO: Green Power: 90% of the Chinese Respondents Are Willing to Pay More\nIt\u2019s a forward-looking way to practice the concept of \u201cuse less, waste less\u201d\nMr Wong Kam-sing, Secretary of the Environment Bureau, said in the opening ceremony of the solar power farm at the Siu Ho Wan Water Treatment Works that for combating climate change, the community must jointly practice the concept of \u201cuse less, waste less\u201d, including energy and water conservation, green commuting and consumption.\nThe \u201cUse Less, Waste Less\u201d Concept. Photo: Homepage of the Environment Bureau\nTo achieve a low-carbon city, in addition to the promotion of energy saving and the use of natural gas for power generation, the Hong Kong government is actively exploring approaches to utilize different types of renewable energy. The integration between a renewable facility and an infrastructure facility, like a solar power farm and a water treatment works, can be a good way to convert waste into energy. Photovoltaic power generation is proven to be a right direction and also an ideal way for Hong Kong to develop renewable energy, worthy of more support from the government.\nWhat do you think about the development of the solar energy/renewable energy industry in Hong Kong?

        "raw_content": "Upcoming Interview with James Alan Gardner on Thursday, May 9\nOn Thursday May 9, Speculating Canada will be interviewing James Alan Gardner. Gardner is the author of The League of People\u2019s Universe novels Expendable, Commitment Hour, Vigilant, Hunted, Ascending, Trapped, and Radiant. I first encountered James Alan Gardner through the recommendation of Alissa Paxton (who has co-hosted several Speculating Canada programmed on Trent Radio). She had recommended Mr. Gardner as an author who would interest me because of my research on portrayals of disability in Canadian SF.\nI was very lucky that Mr. Gardner was willing to do an interview and share his thoughts with readers. Check out our interview on May 9 and read about James Alan Gardner\u2019s insights on the power of SF to open things to questions, trying to do SF that hasn\u2019t been done before, the development of character voices, relationships between characters and power relationships, the difference in Canadian SF, and the figure of the alien.\nHere are a few teasers from the upcoming interview:\nJames Alan Gardner: \u201cScience Fiction is always based on the question, \u2018What would happen if things were different?\u2019\u201d\nJames Alan Gardner: \u201cThe whole premise of SF is that the status quo is impermanent: it hasn\u2019t always been what it is today, and it won\u2019t be the same in future.\u201d\nJames Alan Gardner: \u201cThe whole idea of the League of Peoples comes out of a desire not to do warring interstellar societies. War in space is so old hat. How could I do space adventure stories without war? So I invented a universe where interstellar war was absolutely impossible. Then I followed all the implications to see what would happen.\u201d\nJames Alan Gardner: \u201cRecently, John Scalzi has come up with a great way of expressing something I was talking about in Expendable. Scalzi said that being a straight white (non-disabled) male is like playing video games on the easiest setting. It\u2019s not that life is problem-free, but that the bar you have to clear is lower. An ongoing issue in the League of Peoples stories is that Explorers are better prepared to deal with the unknown because they\u2019ve faced more adversity than most of the other people in their time.\u201d\nJames Alan Gardner: \u201cEvery character is a collection of blind-spots, and that stops them from being able to tell certain types of stories.\u201d\nJames Alan Gardner: \u201cI went into Vigilant wanting to write about a democracy. Too often, SF shows future societies that are monarchies or oligarchies; I wanted to write about a real democracy with institutions designed to keep it working well. This led to an interest in the relationship of individuals to groups\u2026so it was a short step to making group marriage the standard family form. It\u2019s more social, less claustrophobic.\u201d\nJames Alan Gardner: \u201cI hope my readers enjoy spending time with the characters. I also hope I\u2019ve given people things to think about that they haven\u2019t seen before.\u201d\nJames Alan Gardner: \u201cScience fiction and fantasy can deal with the world being changed to an extent that doesn\u2019t happen in other branches of literature.\u201d\nI hope that you enjoy this conversation with Mr. Gardner as much as I did. The questions and ideas he brought up stimulate excellent discussion. Check out the full interview on May 9th.\nIf you have not yet had a chance to explore James Alan Gardner\u2019s books, they are available in ebook format from his website at http://www.thinkage.ca/~jim/english/index.shtml\nThis entry was posted in Interviews and tagged alien, challenging norms, character genesis, democracy, gender, interviews, James Alan Gardner, marriage, polygamy, privilege, questions, Science Fiction.",

        "title": "The inside details from baseball's fascinating new CBA",
        "raw_content": "The inside details from baseball's fascinating new CBA\nYahoo Sports US December 2, 2016, 8:25 AM GMT\nBaseball will have labor peace for the next five years. (Getty)\nThere will be baseball. That was the first thing everyone said Thursday morning. Players, agents, officials at Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association \u2013 all were appreciative of those who sequestered themselves inside a Dallas conference room for the marathon negotiating sessions that produced a collective-bargaining agreement Wednesday. Five years of baseball, guaranteed. Twenty-seven years of uninterrupted labor peace. Hooray. Huzzah. Bravo.\nAnd then, when all the backslapping ceased, came the unvarnished truth.\nThis was not a transformative labor deal, far from it, but a wide swath of people familiar with its inner details told Yahoo Sports some version of the same story Thursday: What it lacks in instantaneous impact it may make up for in historical resonance. Because baseball is barreling toward a potentially nuclear negotiation in 2021, when this current deal expires, that could see a confluence of factors \u2013 massive revenue increases, a growing chasm between big and small markets, continued international strife \u2013 lead to a far more tortuous and torturous path toward a deal.\n\u201cThis is just the setup for war in 2021,\u201d one high-ranking official told Yahoo Sports.\nAnother longtime power broker went a step further.\n\u201cIf there\u2019s not a strike,\u201d he said, \u201cI\u2019ll be shocked.\u201d\nTrying to play Baseball Nostradamus is tricky, of course, because the ever-present potential for seismic change in the sport makes predictions a half-decade down the road murky. \u201cThe ink isn\u2019t even dry on this agreement yet,\u201d reminded one sage source. And yet this agreement is full of interesting levers that will maneuver the sport in a new direction \u2013 and many of them stem from a single decision in the last 48 hours of negotiations that divided the union and allowed MLB one of its more surprising victories in nearly five decades of MLB/MLBPA relations.\nWhen a contingent of players from the Dominican Republic showed up in Dallas, it was a great sign for the union. Engaging Latin American players had proven difficult for a group whose membership had grown increasingly Latino in recent decades, and here they were, ready to fight for what infuriated them: the prospect of an international amateur draft proposed by MLB.\nThe fervor with which the players railed against the draft came from a place more emotional than logical. The rearing of young baseball players, particularly in the Dominican Republic, is part of an economy that supports thousands. It also can take boys as young as 12, rescue them from poverty, supply them with meals and training, and prepare them to sign with a major league team at 16 years old. Almost every Dominican player goes through this system. It becomes a part of him.\nA subjective view, on the other hand, shows a system where trainers take usurious cuts of players\u2019 bonuses, shoot them up with performance-enhancing drugs in their early teen years, don\u2019t continue their education and teach them skills that suit them better for scouting showcases, not fundamental skills. The argument against the current system is strong enough that as much as cost containment drove MLB\u2019s desire for an international draft, so did the prospect of bringing some semblance of order to the chaos.\nIn exchange for the international draft, MLB was prepared to offer the union something it long dreamt of: unfettered free agency. The qualifying offer \u2013 which attached draft-pick compensation to the best free agents and hindered their earning potential for the previous five seasons \u2013 would be gone. The market, and only the market, would determine their contract. As unwieldy as the international draft felt, the MLBPA had made a habit of prioritizing its membership \u2013 the 1,200 players on major league rosters \u2013 over the amateurs long from the big leagues.\nThis did not happen in Dallas. The desire of a vocal segment of players to avoid an international draft at all costs was abundantly clear, and ultimately \u2013 over the objection of a number of top players and officials \u2013 the union took that position: No deal until there\u2019s no draft. MLB saw an opportunity and instead got the cost containment it desired without having to spend a penny on the infrastructure a draft would necessitate. The league asked for a hard cap on money spent internationally and couldn\u2019t believe its fortune: The union acceded, a stunning reversal from past negotiations when a hard cap of any kind, be it on team salaries, draft spending or international money, was rejected outright.\nNot only did the league introduce a hard cap, because it had moved off its desire for an international draft, it asked for constraints on free agents \u2013 ones less restrictive than the qualifying offer but certainly stronger than the get-back from agreeing to an international draft.\n\u201cWe got hijacked,\u201d one player told Yahoo Sports, echoing a word \u2013 \u201chijacked\u201d \u2013 others frustrated with the international-draft fallout used as well.\nAnother player involved said \u201cthe draft was going to ruin baseball in Latin America,\u201d a common talking point among the trainers and power brokers in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela whose politicking ended up winning the day. They were frightened, understandably so, not just at MLB\u2019s desire to bump the age of Latin American players signing from 16 years old to 18 but because already they had targeted players in international classes all the way through 2020 \u2013 kids who, today, are 12 years old. The fear of a sea change in business fueled their desire to enlist those who could save a way of life many believe isn\u2019t worth saving, or at least warrants an overhaul.\nWhat they\u2019ve got, some fear, is worse for the players than a draft. Every team will start with $4.75 million to spend from July 2 to June 15 the next year on amateurs under 25 years old. Teams in the bottom 10 of local revenues or market size will receive extra money depending on the year. One year, they\u2019ll get a Competitive-Balance Round A pick in the U.S. amateur draft, after the first round, plus an additional $500,000 in international bonus money, and the next year, they\u2019ll get a Competitive-Balance Round B pick, following the second round, with a million-dollar international bonus allotment. In addition, teams can trade all of their international-spending space, and teams can trade for up to 75 percent of theirs, meaning the teams with $5.75 million can acquire an additional $4.3 million to spend internationally.\nStill, a cap of just over $10 million pales compared to the current agreement. The San Diego Padres, in the midst of a rebuild, have spent upward of $40 million on Latin American amateurs since July 2 \u2013 and they\u2019re happy to pay the dollar-for-dollar tax that accompanies nearly all of it. In the new agreement, teams cannot shatter their ceiling. It is a hard cap, counting every dollar spent except those on players who cost $10,000 and under, which tend to be the longer-shot prospects.\nWith the same severe penalties in place for exceeding the bonus pool in the amateur draft and now the hard cap internationally, executives spent Thursday asking: Where do I spend my money? This is a fairly common refrain after every new basic agreement, and yet this time it resonated, not just because of the international rules but ones intended to rein in major league payrolls at the highest level.\nThis is where the fear of a strike comes into play, and much of it concerns the rate of revenue growth. One person anticipated revenues will grow by more than a billion dollars annually over the next five years and end up at $16 billion when the current deal expires. While others weren\u2019t quite as optimistic, it\u2019s impossible to see owners not growing far richer, especially with the proceeds of Major League Baseball Advanced Media, the beyond-successful digital media arm of the league, shielded from the players.\nJust how much of the wealth is distributed to the players will guide their tack come 2021. Some of the spending restrictions put in place with Wednesday\u2019s deal could prevent teams from exceeding certain payroll levels, though that same refrain was uttered after the last agreement, and the 2015 Dodgers spent well over $300 million.\nThe competitive-balance tax \u2013 also known as the luxury tax \u2013 will increase from $189 million in 2016 to $195 million this year and $197 million, $206 million, $208 million and $210 million in the coming years. Any team that exceeds the threshold for the first time must pay a 20 percent tax on every dollar over. Two-time offenders pay 30 percent. Those over for the third time and beyond are taxed at 50 percent.\nOn top of those base tax rates are new surtaxes. The first kicks in at $20 million over the luxury-tax threshold, which calls for an additional 12 percent penalty. For example, if a team this season has a $220 million payroll, it will pay 50 percent on the $25 million over the threshold and another 12 percent on the $5 million above the $215 million threshold. At $40 million over comes another surtax: 42.5 percent, which jumps to 45 percent for third-time offenders.\nWhich is to say luxury-tax recidivists with enormous payrolls could stand to pay nearly a dollar-for-dollar tax on money spent, a level never seen before and one a club president said \u201cmight as well be like a cap.\u201d That might be an exaggeration, but other rules do strongly disincentivize spending for teams over the luxury tax.\nTake, for example, the qualifying-offer rules. For both those losing and signing players with qualifying offers, the rules separate them into three categories: teams receiving revenue-sharing money (there are 16), teams over the luxury-tax threshold and teams that don\u2019t fall into either category.\nIf a revenue-sharing payee loses a player it gave a qualifying offer to a contract for $50 million-plus, that team receives a pick right after the first round and for under $50 million after the second. Teams over the luxury tax don\u2019t get a pick until after the fourth round. The rest of the teams are given picks after the second or third rounds. If a team receiving revenue sharing signs a qualifying-offer player, it forfeits a third-round pick. The in-between team gives up a second-round pick and $500,000 in international bonus money. And the team over the luxury tax? Well, it has every reason to be frightened: It surrenders second- and fifth-round picks, plus $1 million in international money. And if it happens to be a team more than $40 million over the threshold, its first-round draft pick automatically falls 10 spots from its original location, too.\nFor teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, this makes for a paralyzing decision, one that has the ability to stifle their spending. Whether it will, of course, depends on market dynamics that are near impossible to forecast, but the penalties on teams exceeding the luxury tax may put a governor on those on the cusp of it, which would only exacerbate the potential lack of spending.\nComplicating matters more is the evergreen issue of how high- and low-revenue teams coexist. Cleveland was the only team with a sub-$100 million payroll last season to make the playoffs. The other nine had payrolls among the league\u2019s top 14 and spent at least $135 million. A nightmare scenario for baseball is an oligarchy, where the rich benefit the most from the rules. Indeed, with the elimination in this agreement of the so-called \u201cPerformance Factor\u201d \u2013 a multiplier on local revenue that cost the highest-earning teams the most in shared money \u2013 the Yankees stand to benefit more from the new deal than perhaps any team. The Cardinals, a big-revenue team that gets extra international dollars and draft picks because of their small market, are a close second.\nMLB commissioner Rob Manfred has greater room to punish teams that cheat internationally. (Getty)\nAt one point in the negotiations, with competitive balance in mind, the union suggested the amateur-draft order be determined by market size and revenue instead of win-loss record. The proposal never got off the table, and even with the potential spending restrictions on high-revenue teams, they\u2019re still at enough of an advantage that a have/have-not world in baseball isn\u2019t entirely far-fetched.\nNobody wants that, not with peace still on the mind, not with all of the other parts of the agreement. Some of the more interesting are as follows:\n\u2022 No longer will the All-Star Game serve as the determinant of home-field advantage in the World Series. Hallelujah. The stupidest rule in sports is dead. Instead, the pennant winner with the best regular-season record hosts Game 1. Should the teams have identical records, the first tiebreaker is head-to-head matchups during the regular season, then record within division.\n\u2022 Foreign players under 25 years old are subject to international bonus limits, which \u2026 ugh. That means Shohei Otani, the 102-mph-throwing, 30-homer hitting Japanese version of Babe Ruth, cannot come to MLB for another three years, unless he wants to sign for a maximum of a sliver over $10 million. Which he doesn\u2019t because Otani isn\u2019t dumb. Thankfully, sources told Yahoo Sports, there could be ways to tinker with the rules so a player like Otani, who on the open market could command a $200 million-plus outlay, doesn\u2019t need to bide his time to reach the major leagues.\n\u2022 Good-bye, sweet prince. The 15-day disabled list, a staple for 50 years, is no longer. It is now two-thirds the inanimate object it used to be. The 10-day disabled list, a relic of the past, banished to the glue factory in 1984, is back and will be the main spot for the ailing and aggrieved. The 15-day DL has been placed on the 60-day DL.\n\u2022 Not only did the rumored 26th roster spot never materialize, the rules of September are the same, which is to say the next five Septembers are bound to be unwatchable.\n\u2022 While this isn\u2019t exactly a death penalty, a new rule allowing commissioner Rob Manfred to hammer teams that cheat internationally has serious teeth. Manfred can take away up to 50 percent of a team\u2019s international bonus allotment for the remainder of the contract, meaning if a team is caught cheating this season \u2013 like the Red Sox were this year \u2013 he can rescind money for 2018-21 as well. Just because it got a hard cap doesn\u2019t mean the league is done with Latin America. The league may push for an international draft again with the next negotiations.\n\u2022 There will be no amnesty for teams with existing international-spending penalties. Following their spree this year, the Padres will not be allowed to spend more than $300,000 on an individual international player for the next two seasons. They can, however, still trade as much of their international money as they\u2019d like to potentially recoup value there.\n\u2022 The top slot value in the amateur draft will be $7.4 million, lower than it has been since 2012. By bringing the slots for the first four picks closer to one another and changing international funding, the incentive to tank isn\u2019t nearly as strong as it might have been. That said, the idea that rebuilding teams aren\u2019t going to use every possibility to rebuild through amateur players is foolhardy. Allowing teams to trade draft picks only would have helped this situation, but that did not happen. Only competitive-balance picks can be dealt.\n\u2022 With international play a priority written into the CBA, it wouldn\u2019t surprise anyone to see a regular-season Yankees-Red Sox matchup in London at some point in the near future.\n\u2022 The season will start four days earlier, which will give players four extra off-days. That doesn\u2019t sound like much. Over the course of the now-187-day season, though, every off-day is like a gleaming pond in the desert for a parched soul, and not one of those mirages, either.\n\u2022 Every clubhouse will have a chef. Players are guaranteed to have two seats on every spring training bus ride. Teams are now allowed to pay players\u2019 meal money in check cards. These are real rules.\n\u2022 Players who haven\u2019t appeared on a major league roster yet cannot chew tobacco on the field. Current players are grandfathered in and are allowed to dip in stadiums where it is legal. True story: The league employs people who, as part of their job, look at which players are chewing tobacco. They could conceivably be fined.\n\u2022 The minimum salary this season is $535,000.\n\u2022 High-school players can formally opt out of the amateur draft instead of just telling teams not to draft them.\n\u2022 Like the 15-day DL, optional waivers are no more. What are optional waivers? Exactly. They will not be missed by anyone.\nThere are hundreds more rules to be revealed in the coming days, when the lawyers from both sides finish drafting the document and owners and players ratify it. At this point, that is a formality, and that\u2019s a good thing, because no matter how idle the owners\u2019 threats may have been, the fact that in his first negotiation Tony Clark, the new head of the union, avoided any sort of labor stoppage was promising.\nIt was a good lesson, too, in the preparedness of MLB, how in the event of something like the international draft falling through, not only did the league have a backup plan but somehow managed to leverage itself into an even stronger position. It\u2019s a lesson Clark and the union won\u2019t forget, not now, not going into 2021, when they\u2019ll try to do the toughest thing in bargaining: get back what once was lost.\nPerhaps the next five years do turn out to be a mutually beneficial deal, enough to prevent any of the doomsday scenarios from playing out and reminding the world what baseball looked like amid a labor mess. It was ugly and protracted, but it put baseball in its current position. Corrections can be necessary and beneficial. In the meantime, just enjoy the next half-decade, knowing there will be baseball, and that is never a bad thing.",

        "title": "An open letter to the IAAF: Oscar Pistorius research | The Science of Sport",
        "raw_content": "My name is Dr Ross Tucker, I am an exercise physiologist based in the University of Cape Town\u2018s Sports Science Institute. I am writing to you out of growing concern over a situation which I am sure that you realise poses some very serious problems for you in the future (as it has in the past), and that is the issue of Oscar Pistorius\u2019 participation in the able-bodied IAAF sanctioned meetings.\nLet me state first and foremost my position \u2013 I do not think that Pistorius should be allowed to compete against the able-bodied runners until it is conclusively shown that the limbs do not assist performance. It is likely we agree on the fact that research is required in order to establish whether his prosthetics are in fact an advantage or disadvantage. We are all aware of the hype and comment on this topic. However, the current angle you have taken is risky and the IAAF is in danger of putting itself in a compromised position if it accepts the responsibility to perform the research during his competitions at future IAAF meetings.\nIt is my understanding that your plan is to allow him to run and then to monitor stride length and frequency during his 400 m races. However, by doing this you are destined to show only that he does not have an advantage, and this would be a Type II statistical error because you are asking the wrong question.\nMy involvement with Oscar Pistorius is of direct personal origin. As I have mentioned I am an exercise scientist and an athletic coach. I recently coached another South African athlete who won medals at the Paralympic Games of Athens 2004. Based on this, I was contacted in October 2004 by journalists seeking my opinion on whether Pistorius\u2019 prosthetics were an advantage or disadvantage. My responses were the following:\nFirstly, the legs must be considered to provide an advantage until such time that it was proven otherwise by Oscar Pistorius. The burden should be entirely on him to show that he gains no advantage running on feet specially designed for speed\nSecondly, because of his inability to balance out of the starting blocks, his current events of the 100 m and 200 m would not be his strongest. I said in 2004 that he would be able to challenge able-bodied athletes if and when he went up to the 400 m distance. This has now happened, and it has been borne out.\nNow, my reasons for writing this in 2004 were the following:\nBased on an analysis of Pistorius\u2019 races during the 2004 Olympic Games, it was obvious to me that he was at a severe disadvantage at the start of the race because by the time the other athletes had run 30 m, Pistorius had done 20 m. Yet he was always able to catch and then pass his opposition to win by 5 m or more. There was even a race where he stumbled, stood up and then managed to catch up to the other runners and win the race.My conclusion then was that his ability to catch up and make up the distance that he lost over the first 30 m was unnatural, suggesting that he had some advantage as a result of his limbs. In effect, he was running 80 m while others where running only 65 m, at least a full second and a half difference. The opposition athletes were single leg amputees and this gave them better ability to balance and thus they were able to start faster, but unable to reach the same top speeds as Pistorius. To me, this was the first evidence that we were witnessing a performance-enhancing effect of the limbs.\nAnecdotally, his stride length and incredibly high stride rate were the factors that were responsible for this difference.\nThese two factors led me to suggest in 2004 that the IAAF would soon be faced with a very difficult predicament, because it was inevitable that Pistorius would soon step up to the 400 m event. Here, his slow start would not be as much of a barrier to success and he would be a candidate to run an Olympic able-bodied qualifying time for the 400 m event.\nMy colleagues at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa shared this view. Professor Tim Noakes was also contacted and echoed the sentiments I expressed above, though we did not confer at any time. I have no doubt that you have heard similar concerns regarding the limbs.\nMy next interaction with Oscar Pistorius was when his agent contacted me in early 2006 to say that he would bid to run in the Olympic Games in Beijing. They wanted me to endorse his efforts and say that the limbs did not provide an advantage. I discussed this with Pistorius\u2019 agent and repeated my opinion that the legs may in fact provide and advantage, although I did not have the scientific evidence to say either way. My suggestion at the start of 2006 was that research needs to be done.\nIn addition, for technical reasons that I will not go into here, there are factors that must be explained, because from a pure physics point of view, Pistorius does in fact have certain advantages. It is important to note that these advantages may in fact be present without the expected increase in stride length. For example, the metabolic cost of accelerating a carbon-fibre limb may reduce the work of running for Pistorius by more than he loses by not having certain muscles to perform that work. This would not require an increase in stride length to enhance his performance.\nRecently I communicated with Pistorius and his group and they proposed that research be done on the prosthetics. However, this communication stopped and has never been re-initiated since. At about the same time, Pistorius\u2019 agent contacted Professor Tim Noakes, who also said that research was required before it could be conclusively stated that the legs did not confer an advantage. In neither case was research done.\nCurrently we have a situation where it is the IAAF who has been tasked with the responsibility of doing the research to either prove or disprove this theory about Pistorius\u2019 prosthetics. Let me again emphasize that I firmly believe it is not the responsibility of the IAAF to prove this due to a very obvious conflict of interest. However, research is clearly required, and it is critical that the research be performed professionally so that we do not incorrectly find that the prosthetics either do or do not provide an advantage.\nThe media have reported that you are going to allow Pistorius to run in the 400 m races at future IAAF meetings and use video technology to analyse his stride patterns. This will fail to find any effect, even it exists, because the 400 m event is sub-maximal by nature and thus his stride length will be constrained in accordance with the pace he chooses to run at. The benefit of the limbs, if any, is therefore an energy conserving one. Since you will not be in a position to measure the metabolic demands of his running, so you will never know whether or not the limbs work. Therefore, there it is likely that you will experience a Type II error (a false negative), because you are analysing the wrong circumstances.\nThe only way you will be able to discover whether the limbs provide him an advantage is by the following:\nAnalyse a 100 m race, and examine only the final 50 m. If Pistorius\u2019 stride length or frequency is higher during this phase, this is an indication that his limbs are transferring energy that enhances his stride mechanics.\nHowever, as I pointed out, there are factors that might contribute to improved performance without necessarily increasing his stride length. Just because his stride may be the same length, does not mean he does not have an advantage.\nTherefore, we must attempt to analyse the elastic recoil of the limbs. For this, you would require an extremely high-definition camera which can film the flex and potential storage of energy in the limb between the time where Pistorius\u2019 prosthesis makes contact with the ground and toe-off. If the limb flexes and then \u2018releases\u2019 this energy, then the limbs should be disallowed, for they are clearly providing an elastic recoil that an able-bodied runner does not possess.\nOn this note, one might wonder why the limbs have this very specific bend and shape. The reason is comfort but also the advantage it gives to elastic energy. In fact, a member of Pistorius\u2019 family has stated that in the beginning, Pistorius wore \u201cprimitive prosthetics\u201d and they (the manufacturers) have since changed the shape. If this is not an indication of the role of design in speed, nothing is.\nFurther to this, there are a number of studies which can be conducted to investigate this debate, although I will not discuss these here. If the IAAF continues on its current path, there is real danger of creating an untenable situation. I recognize that this may be an unpopular decision since it may be seen as discriminatory to prevent a Paralympic athlete from competing in the Olympic Games. However, I repeat, the burden to prove that the limbs do not improve performance lies with Pistorius, not the IAAF. However, all parties have too much to lose and this is the reason why, despite my and others\u2019 suggestion, no scientific research has yet been performed.\nFinally, let me say that I believe that Oscar Pistorius is a great role model for everyone, not only those with amputations. I think that his courage and spirit are fantastic, and my scientific stance in no way reflects on my perceptions of his efforts as an athlete or a human. However, in the name of the sport, which surely is greater than any individual, I urge the IAAF to strongly consider its approach to this research before we make a great mistake, one way or the other.\nDr Ross Tucker\nEmail: ross.tucker@nulluct.ac.za",

        "raw_content": "There is a great story about a young woman who went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as if she solved one problem only to have a new one pop up almost instantly.\n\u201cCarrots, eggs, and coffee,\u201d the daughter replied. The mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. The daughter did and noted that they got soft. Her mother then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, the daughter observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, her mother asked her to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled, as she smelled its rich aroma. The daughter then asked. \u201cWhat\u2019s the point, mother?\u201d\nHer mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity \u2014 boiling water \u2014 but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. It\u2019s thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, it\u2019s inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique however. After they were in the boiling water they had changed the water.\nThat\u2019s a fair question for all of us. When \u201cstuff\u201d happens, how do you respond? Do you get weak in the knees? Maybe hard headed or worse, hard hearted? Or do you take control and change the very circumstances that created the challenge in the first place?\nEvery successful person has overcome challenges on the road to success. Many people who failed were just a few steps away from success and only needed to push ahead a little more to succeed. In both cases their outcomes weren\u2019t determined by the challenges they faced but by how they responded to them.\nThe next time you\u2019re tempted to quit think about why you started and then think about how you\u2019re going to change the circumstances to eliminate that temptation.\nDon't QuitOvercome AdversityPerseveranceSucceedSucceedingSuccess\n7 thoughts on \u201cAre You a Carrot, an Egg or a Coffee Bean?\u201d\nThe simple story really explains it so well. Many of us quit in frustration without thinking of what the real purpose was. Sucess, therefore, becomes even more elusive.\nYes, the story really does make you think. Success can be so close and still hard to see. Sometimes I think the only secret to success is that there is no secret. Constantly evaluate your plan, adjust where needed but never never stop moving and absolutely never never never give up.\nQuoting: \u201cSometimes I think the only secret to success is that there is no secret.\u201d Totally agree!\nI\u2019ve expressed it this way: \u201cThere are no recipes except for cooking / baking; and the good chefs even modify them some for better, tastier outcomes.\u201d We owe it to ourselves and others to be seeking the best! AND, I believe strongly there\u2019s always something we can do \u2026\nFinally, may I suggest we consciously Consider what definition of our success we\u2019re using for any situation. That definition is critical to our efforts, our motivation. It will or should change and must be consciously chosen.\nExcellent point, success is deeply personal, it is different for everyone and it\u2019s meaning changes throughout our lives. But we need to know our personal definition of success because few things are more frustrating than chasing someone else\u2019s dream.\nPingback: Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean? | Management Briefs\nI love the analogy. Truly inspirational and timely",

        "title": "Strobist: On Photographing People: Pt. 1",
        "raw_content": "On Photographing People: Pt. 1\nSara Lando is an occasional contributor to Strobist, but is also a commercial photographer based in Milan, Italy. Today, I am very pleased to present the first in her three-part series on photographing people.\nLet me back up. A few months ago, I met with all of the Strobist's correspondents in Los Angeles. We were brainstorming to fill the knowledge gaps in the site's content. Suddenly Sara started off on this tangent on all of the things that get lost in the shuffle when thinking about lighting and lenses and cameras, etc. Picture a tiny Italian woman gesturing continuously as she uncorks a full brain dump (from a very, very creative mind) on all of the little things that many people never think of when photographing others.\nAs I was listening I kept thinking, \"Someone should be writing this stuff down RIGHT NOW.\"\nEnglish is Sara's second language, and I normally smooth it out a little when editing her pieces. Not today. I am sending this through largely untouched. Should you come across an unusual way to express something, just imagine the Italian accent behind it.\nOn Photographing People, Pt. 1: Before the Shooting\nBy Sara Lando -- So you know your f-stops, you can balance speedlights with ambient, you can overpower the sun and color correct light to the point you can walk into a room and guesstimate the Kelvins like a boss... and yet all you get are sharp images of really uncomfortable people?\nCan you be a people photographer if you\u2019re not a people person?\nMy best asset, according to clients and subjects, is the fact that I can make people enjoy having their picture taken and, as a result, I can ask them to do almost anything and they\u2019ll be happy to oblige.\nIt hasn\u2019t always been like this, though: the first time I had to photograph someone that wasn\u2019t myself, I spent the night before puking, and it was half a disaster. Ten years later, these are the things I wish someone had told me back then.\nBefore you can even think about what to do when you\u2019re photographing someone you have to convince them to be in front of your camera. And a lot of people find this to be really hard (after all a camera is one of the best ways to avoid talking to other human beings...).\nThere are basically two possibilities: hiring a professional model vs asking someone, be it a loved one or a stranger (I\u2019m intentionally not going to cover how to steal portraits from unaware passers by with very long lenses). If you\u2019re really uncomfortable with asking people you know, I highly recommend avoiding paying for a professional model. Yet, it is often harder to take a good portrait of a model because they have enough experience to save your pictures when you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing. So you end up mistaking a photo of a beautiful girl for a beautiful photo. You learn very little and waste lots of money.\nAlso, models won\u2019t tell you what you did wrong (but they\u2019ll tell the next female photographer they work with, aka: me), while a wife is probably making a list the moment you unzip the camera bag. Suck it up and go for it!\nI very rarely meet someone who doesn\u2019t hate to have their picture taken though, so we meet our very first obstacle:\nHow to convince people to be photographed by you\nTruth is, people don\u2019t hate having their picture taken. People hate being tagged on Facebook in awful photos that everyone will see.\nMy advice is to start with friends and loved ones, people you feel comfortable with and can easily speak to. If you already know your friend Bob is a Star Wars fan, he will not pass on the opportunity of posing for a portrait with a full Darth Vader costume. And if you\u2019ve been married for years to a woman who hates the shape of her ears, you won\u2019t make the rookie mistake of having her hair up for the pictures (ending up with her forbidding you to EVER show them to anyone).\nVolunteer as the official photographer at your nana\u2019s 90th birthday. Bribe your kids. Do it again and again.\nI was incredibly shy when I started photography so I decided to take a bazillion self portraits instead. Whatever you decide to do, the main goal is to build a very small portfolio of decent pictures you can show to potential victims subjects. I have a couple of ongoing projects that are great for contacting potential subjects. Both are really easy setups and it takes me just a few minutes to get the shot, leaving me plenty of time to do something else. And most of all it shows potential subjects the kind of image they would be getting from me.\nThis is important because it takes an incredible amount of trust to let someone take you picture and you have to reassure people you actually DO know how to operate a camera. The only way to do so is by having work to show.\nThis alone isn\u2019t going to be enough. Most of the time, people will still be wary. Why would you want to take their picture? Why them?\nSpot the difference between \u201cCan I take your picture? I asked everyone else and they said no,\u201d and \u201cCan I take your picture? I have this image in mind for a personal project and you would be the perfect fit for that. You can say no, of course, but can I show you my moodboard first?\u201d\nThe second sentence works best for several reasons:\n\u2022 you don\u2019t sound like an a-hole\n\u2022 you are making them feel worthy of being photographed\n\u2022 you imply you have an actual project in mind\n\u2022 you are giving them the chance to say no\nIf you don\u2019t have a picture to show what you have in mind, this is where moodboards come in really handy. I can use less words and be more effective. I\u2019m sure you can perfectly understand what I\u2019m going after if I say: \u201cBotticelli\u2019s Spring, Vivaldi, champagne colored tulle, and really soft hand gestures\u201d rather than \u201cBiker gang in a smokey bar, runaway girl, smeared mascara and a missing tooth.\"\nEven a quick sketch can be helpful when you\u2019re trying to explain a concept. Here\u2019s an example of a concept sketch and the resulting image (takes a good leap of imagination, but it still works better than \u201cI want to paint your face.\u201d)\nOf course you need to make sure you\u2019re picking the right idea for the right subject. Don\u2019t be the one who sidelights the girl with bad skin using hard light or tries to force the shy girl into a skimpy bikini; if the picture comes out awful it\u2019s not because they\u2019re bad models, it\u2019s just that you\u2019re a jerk.\nThe same approach is valid even if you are contacting potential subjects on Facebook or on websites for test shootings. Have pictures in your portfolio, approach people with a project that is designed around them and be professional about it.\nIf you\u2019re working with a creative team everyone needs to receive the same reference material. You\u2019re the director of the whole thing. If it comes together, it\u2019s thanks to the team. If it fails, it\u2019s your fault.\nTHEY SAID YES: NOW WHAT?\nOnce you start planning a shooting, the first thing you might want to do is to gather all the data you will need: contact info, location availability, measurements, details that might ruin the photo shoot (e.g. a long haired model who just cut her hair really short, or has a big tattoo you weren\u2019t aware of). You can send a questionnaire to fill out, you can talk to people over the phone.\nI\u2019d rather invite them for a coffee. This is great for several reasons:\n\u2022 you get to see them in person and you can start figuring out their best angles\n\u2022 you get to see how they move\n\u2022 you can start building a relationship with them, making them excited about the shooting\n\u2022 you can answer any question or address any concern they might have and see if some of your suggestions rub them the wrong way\nThere\u2019s a bunch of questions first time subjects always ask me:\n1) what clothes do I bring?\nUnless the concept is very specific or I have a stylist involved, I usually ask them to bring something really basic, preferably in plain color. A black top, a white top, something they are very comfortable in, and a bunch of their favourite clothes. I want them to feel beautiful. Everyone has that pair of pants they wear when they want to impress. It might not be what you end up using for \u201cThe Picture,\" but it\u2019s a great starting point.\nOne piece of advice I always give: do not wear stuff your kids might mock you for, 20 years from now.\n2) What about makeup?\nHaving a makeup artist can be great (it makes people feel pampered and special and really cuts the time you spend post producing skin.) But I often like to work without one and for a first timer I\u2019d rather have no other people on the set.\nUsually women can take care of their own makeup, but I still ask them to keep it natural. A nice base and some mascara will be enough not to make them feel \u201cnaked\u201d and a bad makeup can really ruin a good photo.\nThis is also when I reassure them about skin imperfections: I will take care of them. The lights I use will make their skin beautiful and if there is a pimple, I will get rid of it in 2 seconds in Photoshop. I also send them this rollover image.\nWhy would I do that? Because people will obsess about a single zit and they will try to cover it with their hand, hair or hiding it away from the camera. I want them to completely forget about it when we are working. Photoshopping away an imperfection takes less than 2 seconds, but I cannot photoshop away a scared expression.\n3) can I bring someone?\nI don\u2019t mind people watching me work now, but it used to make me really nervous. I\u2019ve always been honest about it, and I still prefer not to have people sitting around just watching.\nSome may get very self-conscious while others are watching them\u2014even more when it\u2019s loved ones\u2014because they are afraid of being judged as \u201cvain\u201d. My policy now is that if someone is on set, they work. I have them hold reflectors or strobes, I ask them to throw rose petals in the background. Wind machine? Pppft. I\u2019d rather use a big piece of cardboard and someone\u2019s escort.\nThere are things subjects usually don\u2019t ask, but I tell them anyway:\na) bring your own music.\nI like people to bring their i-Pods or burn CDs of music they love. It\u2019s something familiar in a very unfamiliar situation and can be the difference between getting to the shot in 10 minutes or 2 hours. I ask for something specific according to the mood I\u2019m going for: bring music that makes you feel powerful. Bring the kind of music you\u2019d listen to on a rainy day. Bring music that makes you wanna dance. If they have the reference images and I have asked them to pick songs, I can be pretty sure they will be rehearsing in front of a mirror.\nOne of my best purchases has been the Jambox by Jawbone. It's a small, powerful wireless bluetooth boombox you can take with you on location.\nb) What I will do with your photos and what I won\u2019t do with them.\nYou have to have this conversation before people step into your studio. They need to know they\u2019ll be asked to sign a release and they need to be comfortable with it. I take the time to explain that the release also prevents me from using their pictures for commercial uses without their consent and that I will never publish something they haven\u2019t approved first.\nc) I give them my contact informations and collect theirs.\nNot only I will need this information for the model release, but I will definitely need to get hold of people if something happens and there\u2019s a change of plan and I need to make sure they can contact me if they have any problem.\nMy advice for dealing with \u201cmodels\u201d who don\u2019t want to give you their phone numbers or at least an email? Don\u2019t bother booking shootings with them. The pizza delivery place asks for my phone number when I place an order: it\u2019s part of what they do. No number, no pizza.\nTHE DAY BEFORE THE SHOOTING:\nMake sure the studio (or location) you\u2019ll be shooting in is going to be clean, comfortable, with the right temperature for the clothes your subject is going to wear and a separate place for changing into them. If you don\u2019t have a changing room, a screen or a sheet stretched between two light stands will do just fine. If you\u2019re going to be outdoors, invest in a small popup tent.\nGet food and water for the shooting. This might be obvious to some of you, but I assure you most photographer don\u2019t even offer their subjects a glass of tap water.\nI usually go for tea and cake, but also have bottled water and fresh fruit available. I\u2019d recommend avoiding stuff that stains teeth (no cranberry juice) and keep disposable toothbrushes and dental floss available: you don\u2019t want to photoshop speck of food out of people\u2019s smiles.\nHave a list of shots you want to do and figure out in which order you are going to shoot them: you\u2019ll want to keep the time you spend building sets while your subject is standing there to a minimum. But you also might want to think about makeup and props: go from simple to most messy. If you have several steps of makeup, remember that building up is easier than taking away.\nBuild the first set and test your lights. Mark the spot in which you want your subject to stand. I usually ask my husband to stand in (after all that\u2019s part of his marital duties), take a bunch of self-portraits or use my pig mask impaled on a light stand, which works just as well. (You don\u2019t need to be fancy: I have used upside-down mops duct taped on chairs for quite a while and it works like a charm.)\nI check my gear: batteries must be loaded, cards must be formatted, lens must be clean.\nI make a call sheet and send it to everyone involved in the project: location address should be written on it, as well as everyone\u2019s contact info and a list of things they are supposed to bring and a rough schedule of the shooting. It might sound something really silly to do if it\u2019s not a big production, just like you might feel uncomfortable asking your friends to sign a model release because, after all, they\u2019re your friends, right? To answer your question: my mum signed a model release when I took her portrait.\nThis might make me look a bit of a nutjob, but the night before the shooting I mentally go over the whole process: I lay in bed staring at the ceiling and imagine every step of the shooting; me taking out the camera and choosing a lens, me moving lights, etc. if I get stuck at some point, I know I have a problem to solve, then I figure out a way to do that and I come up with a plan B. This is particularly helpful when you have to transition between several sets. Your model will need to wash her face from glitter before wearing a white dress and you\u2019ll be outdoor: did you get wipes?\nIt\u2019s not going to be like this each and every time, of course. And experience is going to play a great part in being able to get a good portrait even if my hair is on fire and my subject hates me. But being prepared gives me the luxury to make the most of the time I will have with them. If I get the picture I want in 15 minutes and the model is there for a whole hour, I now have at least 55 minutes to experiment and that is exactly what I want (I\u2019m not great at math, but I\u2019m quite good at pushing time limits).\nComing next: Part 2: During the Shooting",

        "title": "Hubert Harrison Play to Premier Next Month | St. Thomas Source",
        "raw_content": "Home News Local news Hubert Harrison Play to Premier Next Month\nHubert Harrison Play to Premier Next Month\nMany Virgin Islanders are aware of the contributions of West Indian writers, artists and activists to the intellectual life of Harlem in the first half of the 20th century. What is perhaps less known is that one of the most influential of them all, the man who has been called \"the father of Harlem radicalism,\" was born on St. Croix.\nA new play written and directed by University of the Virgin Islands professor David Edgecombe titled \"Hubert Harrison\" aims to change that lack of notariety.\nHubert Henry Harrison was born in 1883 in Estate Concordia. His father, Adolphus, had been born a slave. In 1900, at the age of 17, Harrison migrated to New York City, where he would make a name for himself as one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time.\nAs an orator, educator, writer, editor and political activist, Harrison helped shape some of the most important radical movements of his day before dying during surgery for appendicitis at 44.\nAmong Harrison\u2019s achievements were founding both the Liberty League and The Voice, the first organization and newspaper of the \"New Negro\" movement of the 1920s (the cultural component of which is often termed \"The Harlem Renaissance\"). He was also celebrated as an insightful critic and journalist whose articles appeared in widely circulated publications including The New York Times, The Nation and The New Republic.\nEdgecombe said he became fascinated with Harrison\u2019s story nearly 20 years ago when he learned about his work from Marilyn Bailey, an editor at the Daily News.\n\"I wrote a story about him then and was so intrigued I thought of writing a one-man show about his life. That idea never left me.\"\nWhat started as an idea for a one-man show has evolved into a play with more than 20 characters, Edgcombe said. He plans to premier \"Hubert Harrison\" at UVI Little Theater on St. Thomas from March 20 \u2013 22.\nThe play will also be performed during UVI\u2019s first Literary Festival and Book Fair on Harrison\u2019s home island of St. Croix on March 28 and 29. Harrison\u2019s biographer, Jeffery Perry, who has described the Harlem intellectual giant as \"significantly influenced by his Crucian roots,\" will present at the festival.\n\"Harrison was considered the most influential thinker of his generation, which included Booker T. Washington, W.E.B Du Bois and Marcus Garvey,\" explained Edgecombe. \"He is among the top five intellectuals the Caribbean has produced. He was born on St. Croix and most people in the V.I. have never heard about him.\"\nEdgecombe says he wants to bring the story of Harrison\u2019s life to the Virgin Islands in an artful way to encourage the community\u2019s interest in learning more about this neglected native son.\n\"The challenge has been how to get to where the historian can\u2019t go\u2014into the head and heart in telling an interesting and hopefully deeply moving story,\" he said\nEdgecombe says that rehearsals for the play are under way but there are still roles available for interested actors. He can be contacted at 693-1355.

        "raw_content": "Lightning Strike in Flight\nJune 18, 2003 July 7, 2018 ~ Chad Austin\nHere\u2019s a story you don\u2019t hear very often. It is a tale of a hard IFR flight, and a chance encounter with a thunderstorm in a twin engine Cessna 421. The results of the encounter would challenge any pilot, and in most cases, would have cost a lot more\u2026\nIT WAS A STANDARD RUN IN THE 421\nThe plane had been chartered in the summer for a flight in Michigan, and the weather was turning quite foul. There were scattered thunderstorms all over the area, but with weather radar on board, our pilot was confident that he would be able to find his way through the mess, and on to his destination. The first leg of the flight went well, and they reached the destination with only a few deviations to avoid the building storms.\nAS NON-STANDARD WEATHER BREWED\nAs the pilot waited for his passengers to return, the weather continued to wind itself up into an impressive storm. The winds picked up, the clouds grew and grew and, in general, the storms grew in intensity. They were the kind of storms most pilots would prefer to stay well clear of. By the time the passengers returned, night had fallen, and the storms had taken on a menacing tone.\nFOR A NIGHT DEPARTURE\nWith a weather briefing in hand, and the weather radar on, our pilot departed for his flight towards the home airport. After some initial deviations around weather, the 421 encountered rain. The pilot was looking at the radar returns, but the rain was causing problems \u2014 it was truncating the range of the radar from its normal range, down to just a few miles. Now, for those who don\u2019t know, a 421 cooks along at better than three miles a minute. Translation: The pilot was starting to fly nearly blind \u2014 with only a few miles of radar range, he would only have a minute to identify trouble and make course changes if weather turned up.\nLet\u2019s add up the challenges in this flight:\nScattered convective weather;\nRain that was truncating the radar being used to avoid the weather;\nIFR flight at night\n\u2026did I mention the convective weather?\nIT WAS OVER IN A FLASH\nA bolt of lightning pounced from a cloud, and struck the left engine. The damage to the engine was immediate and severe. The strike welded the connecting rod to the crankshaft, which locked in place and punched a hole through the top of the engine. The electrical system took a major hit, knocking all the electronics off line, including the radios, transponder, and radar. The pilot was partially blinded by the intense white light of the lightning strike, and struggled to maintain control of the airplane. Still, using his vacuum instruments, he was able to make a controlled descent, find his way to a nearby airport, safely land the stricken Cessna 421 and unload its shaken passengers.\nWhat he did wrong: In this case, our pilot made some errors in judgement and, clearly, was lucky to get away alive.\nHe flew at night in an area of known convective activity.\nDependent on radar, he flew through a rain shower that reduced the range of his radar, making evasion of storms nearly impossible.\nWhat he did right: On the plus side, our pilot knew exactly where he was at when his plane was struck by lightning. When the plane was hit, he retained composure and orientation while transitioning to his basic flight instruments, and plotting a course to the closest airport. Despite an airplane that was electrically trashed, with an engine that was fatally crippled, he managed to execute a safe landing at the airport.\nTHE BOTTOM LINE: DON\u2019T MESS WITH MOTHER NATURE. When convective activity is widespread, the only safe place to be is on the ground. Flying near these storms is asking for a lesson in mortality. Take it from countless pilots who have tried, Mother Nature doesn\u2019t care if you\u2019re a nice guy or a good pilot \u2014 she\u2019ll still kick your behind. Don\u2019t become a statistic. Know your limits, and respect the weather. Don\u2019t suffer the fate of other pilots \u2014 learn from them!\n\u2039 PreviousTrivia Testers : Let It Snow\nNext \u203aFlying And The All-Star Game: Don\u2019t Get \u201cSTMP\u2019d\u201d",

        "title": "Uprooting Self-Sabotaging Behaviors: Learning How to Make Changes that Stick - Submissive Guide",
        "raw_content": "Uprooting Self-Sabotaging Behaviors: Learning How to Make Changes that Stick\nThere are many relationships both inside and outside of the Lifestyle that exist under undue strain and eventually crumble under the weight of the behaviors that are a result of self-sabotage, and all too often these habitual patterns aren\u2019t recognized though they are repeated with great frequency. A cycle of strife is perpetuated year in and year out. With tepid determination, one may say, \u201cThis time is going to be different. I\u2019m making changes,\u201d yet the confidence and tenacity to follow through on those changes are lacking due to not really knowing where to begin and not being aware of the avenues to make the transformation a reality.\nAfter so many years of living a certain way under repeated cycles of self-sabotage, can one make changes? Is it possible to unlearn more destructive habits and learn how to implement thinking and behavior that will instead nurture a budding or existing relationship? Yes! However, to do so takes time, patience, determination, and consistency. I would like to take time to discuss some key points on recognizing self-sabotaging behaviors and give an example of how to begin making changes. Though I use a very practical example, the process is universal and can be applied to our Power Exchange relationships as well.\nWhy the term \u201cuprooting\u201d? Roots systems are a vital part of the plant kingdom. They provide not only an anchor point for vegetation, they also help to stabilize the surrounding area by helping to hold soil in place. The root system is also responsible for providing nourishment for the plant. Many nutrients and water are absorbed through the root system. Those plants that are well rooted in rich soil in areas that have access to fresh water, say for instance a stream or regular periods of rain, tend to thrive in great abundance. And if the vegetation is thriving, it usually points to wildlife that is also flourishing. On the contrary, when the soil is poor, the ground is rocky, and there\u2019s a lack of water sources the root systems can\u2019t fully extract what\u2019s needed in order to nourish the plants. As a consequence, plant life is scarce, dies, or \u2018hibernates\u2019 until more favorable conditions occur. Even we speak metaphorically about \u201cour roots\u201d or \u201cbeing rooted\u201d, meaning where we started, what sustains us day in and day out, as well as what gets us centered and keeps us balanced.\nRoot systems can also have what we perceive as negative impacts. Anyone walking through the city will often see roots breaking through sidewalks or causing sidewalks to buckle as the roots continue to spread and grow in girth. Roots have also been known to break through and fill pipes. We see that as an inconvenience and a disruption to our daily lives, mobility, and in the case of the buckled sidewalks that tends to go against what we consider aesthetically appealing. But, roots are doing what they are designed to do \u2013 to bring and maintain life in the system that is supported by them. This is why uprooting troublesome systems is necessary.\nThe negative habits and thought processes contribute to acts of self-sabotage work in the exact same way. They seek to be fed so that they can actually thrive and the self-sabotage can perpetuate day in and day out because of this. Sometimes the patterns can be insidious, while other times being quite blatant. So, how do we identify and determine at least some of the contributories to self-sabotaging habits? Here is a perfect starting point to begin the examination process:\nWhat specific behavior/pattern is causing a disruption of or hindering the path to a healthy life physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually?\nHow is this behavior/thought impacting my relationships?\nSometimes we overthink how to start changing deleterious patterns and thoughts. Simple questions can help us hone in on patterns when we take the time to reflect. For example, I used to want to lose weight and be able to do fantastic physical feats. Whenever I would start a workout routine, after about 3-4 weeks, I would lose steam and stop all together. What actually helped me see that pattern was looking back over my workout journals and seeing the huge gaps that were prevalent. But what precipitated me looking into the pattern I was keeping was a reality check given to me by Master. In essence, he said either I will or I won\u2019t; and if I won\u2019t then I will continue to gain and lose the same weight over and over because I wasn\u2019t being consistent. That was when I looked back over my workout journals and saw the startling truth of what I was doing.\nUsing the following questions can help take the examination even further to better zero in on the behaviors and more precisely identify and flesh out the root causes:\nWhat are some ways I\u2019ve experienced self-sabotage?\nWhat is the earliest memory of experiencing this particular pattern/habit/thought?\nHow many times have I attempted to change this habit?\nWhat held me back from the changes needed to remove or redirect the habit/pattern/thought?\nWhile looking at the journal was a solid start, I also needed to address why I would fall off from doing what was actually good for me only to settle into what was keeping me from thriving and succeeding in this particular area in my life. Fear and doubt kept coming up. I actually had (and still deal with it from time to time) a fear of being athletic in anyway. I was afraid that I would lose my femininity (the softness associated with it) and be seen as unattractive. The irony is that I also deal with the fear of being attractive and desirable. I know, it\u2019s convoluted and complex. Oh the joy of being human! At any rate, after arming myself with this awareness and delving deeper into it, I was able to set a goal and stick to it no matter what \u2013 workout regularly for a minimum of six weeks.\nEvery act of self-sabotage was once a seedling planted from sometimes the strangest or most tragic of experiences. Sometimes, they were even planted by erroneous \u201cwords of wisdom\u201d given to us from trusted sources such as loved ones. We accepted these seedlings for whatever reasons and allowed them to grow through constant reinforcement over time. That reinforcement is what nurtured the pattern and allowed it to grow and become a part self-identification. When it came down to changing the habit of discontinuing my workouts after a certain number of weeks, making the goal wasn\u2019t enough. I had to address the issues of fear and doubt. I doubted my ability to be athletic because I was only looking at my size and limitations in mobility. I had listened to the negative taunts and ridicule from different people in my life. I feared becoming mannish in appearance and being too strong to be considered feminine. So, each time I would start on a good consistent streak determined to reach a specific outcome, somewhere in a relatively short period of time, all of my efforts would cease.\nA major step in uprooting the beliefs that haunted me and threatened to destroy my health eventually was allowing myself to become curious as to what my body is capable of. This helped me to learn a \u201cnew song to sing\u201d about myself and what I was doing in the area of my health. I looked at the words I said to myself and began deconstructing the negative beliefs. I make it sound rather cut and dry, but nothing was cut and dry about it at all. Surely enough, around four weeks in I found myself feeling hopeless about what I was doing, the excuse I had to give up was that I didn\u2019t see any progress. I had to fight internally to break the chain and free myself to move beyond the usual stopping point. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind to reach out to people for encouragement and help talk me off the ledge. That support made a huge difference for me because without it I more than likely wouldn\u2019t have been able to muscle through what could have been a breaking point. I also had to continuously speak positively towards myself in order to maintain the wonder of discovering a fuller range of my physical capabilities. I\u2019m pleased to say that and more has sustained me over the past four years. The results of persistent and consistent efforts have been that my diet has been overhauled with great success; health issues that I was once plagued with are no longer points of concern; and there are constant improvements that continue to delight and motivate me.\nSo, how does all of this tie in with our chosen relationship styles? As I said in the opening, self-sabotage can put a tremendous strain on our relationships and hinder our ability to serve in any capacity. To elaborate further on my experience from above, by me not remaining consistent with my health endeavors, I was falling short on being a good steward of the property, which would have eventually led to illnesses and complications that more than likely could have been avoided or at the very least well managed with proper attention. That would have been a disservice to Master; but even more, he requires that his slave manages the affairs of health and wellness. So, to be very blatant, me not taking my health, wellness, and fitness seriously was a turnoff for him. Furthermore, the shift in my attitude and disposition has impacted other areas of my life including my submission and service to him. Amazing, right?!\nBefore closing, I would like to share a few suggestions to help assist you in making changes so that you can be the best you:\nRecognize the issue(s) and be honest about what you see.\nMake different decisions based what will support the life and relationship you want. This requires putting aside the tendency to make decisions based on fear, anger, and regret and so on. Decisions should support thriving, especially in our relationships with others. For me, this looked like making decisions that were the opposite of what I would have done in the past based on my former way of thinking.\nSeek and graciously receive effective tools to help you become a more objective thinker, then use them. If it wasn\u2019t for me earnestly seeking and humbly accepting the tools given to me in an effort to help me do and be better, I wouldn\u2019t be doing and being better. Tools are useless if they aren\u2019t used, that\u2019s the most important part!\nEven if you stumble and fall down, get back up and keep moving forward. This will help you develop your consistency muscles.\nIncorporate your spiritual beliefs/practices if you are a theist. If you are an agnostic or atheist, implement the practice of positive thinking and make positive choices.\nSeek professional help as needed and allow those who care for you to support you. There is nothing wrong with seeing a counselor, pastor, psychiatrist, and/or hypnotherapist to get the guidance and help that\u2019s needed to go on this journey. Those who genuinely care for you will be thrilled to support you, and in a way, you may inspire them on some level.\nBe patient yet courageous and unyielding in this process. This isn\u2019t a one time shot, the reality is that we can face such behaviors at any point in life due to any number of possible triggers. But the beauty is that going through the initial process creates a better depth of self-awareness that can be readily accessed at any point going forward, and you will surely meet with success.\nBelow the Mood of Blue: One Girl\u2019s Experience With Depression\nOvercoming the Fear of Being Triggered to Open a Dialogue",

If you haven't received the verification email, click here.\nStep 3: If your phone number hasn\u2019t been verified from your device in the previous 30 days, you\u2019ll be prompted to add your number after selecting \"Set up withdrawals\". This is an important security feature called Multi-factor Authentication which is a way of protecting your account information from being tampered with.\nStep 4: Once your phone number has been verified, you\u2019ll be given the following options:\nMyself or Someone else: choosing \"Myself\" means that you will be adding your own personal information and bank account. Choosing \"Someone else\" means that you\u2019re sending the funds to someone else\u2019s bank account. Do not select \"Myself\" and then add someone else's information.\nPersonal or Organisation: \"Personal\u201d means that an individual will be withdrawing to their own bank account. \"Organisation\" will set up a company to add their bank account. Read more about organisation withdrawals here.\nNote: If your account is connected to Stripe or you created a charity campaign connected to PayPal Giving Fund, withdrawals are set up differently. You can read more about Stripe here and registered charity campaign withdrawals here.\nIf you\u2019re not using Stripe or the PayPal Giving Fund and you still can\u2019t see an \"Organisation\" option, please contact us if you need help adding organisation details to your account.\nStep 4: If you select \"Someone else\", you will then be directed to send an email invitation to the person managing withdrawals. If the invitation doesn\u2019t send successfully, try sending it to another of their email addresses \u2013 that usually does the trick! If they don't have an email address, we recommend that you help them set up a Gmail account so that they can withdraw.\nIf you chose \"Myself\", you will verify your own personal information and add your bank account. Do not add anyone else\u2019s details to your own account.\n\"Something went wrong\" error\nIf you receive an error when filling in your details that says \"Something went wrong - Contact our team\" this could be for a number of reasons. We advise you to double-check the following:\nDo you have the correct routing number (sort code)? In the US, routing numbers are exactly 9 digits long and you will need to use the number for ACH transfers only. Contact your bank for the most accurate information.\nAre you entering the correct state or province code for North America? It should be 2 letters long. For example, if you are in California, you will need to enter \"CA\". If you are in Alberta, you will need to enter \"AB\".\nAre you entering an address that starts with a letter? If so, you'll need to start the address with a number then a letter. Do not enter a PO box when filling out your personal information.\nStep 5: After you confirm, the withdrawals for your full account balance will be initiated at the frequency of your choice (daily, weekly or monthly). Withdrawing will not affect your campaign at all. Your campaign\u2019s \"Total Amount Raised\" meter will stay the same and you can continue accepting donations for as long as you like.\nOnce withdrawals are sent, it will take 2-5 working days to arrive (weekends and Bank Holidays do not count as working days).

(We are not celebrating in Gone Girl-style, although I\u2019m not going to lie, I thought about it.)\nFive years is 1/6 of my lifetime. It doesn\u2019t sound quite as impressive as saying that Drew and I have been together for almost 10 years, which is 1/3 of my lifetime, and encompasses perhaps the most interesting decade of my life. I\u2019m so glad that for most of my \u201cOmg, remember when this happened?\u201d moments, he\u2019s a part of that.\nI love our team. When counting my blessings, I put this at the top of the list. I just feel very lucky.\nFiled under Awesome, Drew, Love, Memoir, Nonfiction, Sentiment\nTagged as 5 years, anniversary, love, marriage, skimbleshanks, wedded bliss, wedding\nThrowback Thursday: Last will and testament\nI wanted to find a good tbt blog post from my old livejournal. But most of them are just\u2026incredibly embarrassing. I went back to April of 2004, because I thought that\u2019d be cool, but man. I was so not cool. Everything is so angsty, and it\u2019s all music or book references, and I basically cannot get through a post without berating myself for being \u201cnot pretty\u201d or something. Yikes.\nSo, I skipped ahead to April of 2005, when things were really starting to look up. And I found this.\nAnd I thought, Still embarrassing, but it\u2019s young love, and I\u2019ve always been cheesy, and at that point it\u2019s not like my livejournal was something I censored or worried about other people reading, so okay. And then I clicked on the 5 comments and saw a comment from me saying, \u201cI DID NOT WRITE THIS! That would be Drew.\u201d\nSo, this week\u2019s tbt blog post is brought to you by 2005 Drew\u2026which is a lot like 2014 Drew but with fewer responsibilities and access to my online journal.\nFiled under Beginnings, Being a girl, Drew, Humor, Love, Memoir, Nonfiction, Sentiment, Writing\nTagged as april, chandelier, honeymoon period, humor, livejournal, love, postaweek, throwback thursday, will\nMy parents recently went on a trip to Italy and Spain. When they returned, they posted hundreds of pictures on Facebook, which I dutifully scrolled through last week, liking some so that they would know I had looked at them. One of the pictures they posted was this one, from Borghetto:\nI have a vague memory of hearing about this phenomenon before, but thank goodness my uncle posted a link to the Love Lock wiki page, so I could refresh my memory. You write your names on a lock, fasten it on a fence, and then pitch the key into the river \u2013 because your love will never be undone. (It\u2019s a little cheesy, but I think that kind of stuff works in Europe and in the Napa Valley.)\nThank goodness my uncle also posted a comment that there is a love lock bridge in Napa, just a quick trip north of here. Which set my mind to working\u2026\nToday is Drew\u2019s and my fourth wedding anniversary. We didn\u2019t make any plans to go out tonight. (I mean, Survivor is on.) (Also, we have this baby.) But over the last couple weeks, I\u2019ve been tyring to think of something cool we could do together to celebrate.\nI figured Napa would be a good day trip \u2013 we could get brunch, seal our love with a $6 padlock from Ace Hardware, and we could even take B with us. So on Sunday morning, we packed up plenty of baby accoutrements, stopped by the hardware store for a lock, and drove up to Napa.\nWhen we found the restaurant I had randomly picked from Yelp, we saw the long line outside and drove on by. But we were in downtown Napa (I guess?) and so we just parked and walked around. We found a place that wasn\u2019t crowded, and had plenty of outdoor seating, with a view of Napa Creek. After brunch, we walked the half mile to the Napa Valley Wine Train, where the bridge is located.\nThere wasn\u2019t much call for ceremony, so I snapped the lock on and we took a couple pictures. We debated throwing the keys away, but in the end kept them as a keepsake. I like keepsakes. Then we walked back to the car, stopping on the way for milkshakes.\n(It was pretty bright out.)\nIt was a fun trip. I\u2019m glad we did it. I\u2019m glad that my uncle posted all those comments (thanks, Uncle Pastor!), and that my parents uploaded 336 pictures of their trip, and that I took the time to look through them because I thought that\u2019s what a good daughter would do.\nFour years. We\u2019ve now officially been married longer than we were just boyfriend-and-girlfriend (not counting the 9 1/2 months that we were engaged). That\u2019s nice.\nI take him for granted, sometimes. This has been a pretty emotional year, full of ups and downs (although even the downs have their silver linings). I think the roller coaster nature of this last year has shown me how strong our relationship is, which is good to know. I\u2019ve heard that the first year of marriage, and the first year of parenthood, are two years that test relationships. So far we\u2019re getting an A+.\nHappy fruit-and-flowers anniversary!

        "raw_content": "Home / Through The Looking Glass: An Interview with Stacey Huget, Executive Director of the Looking Glass Foundation\nThrough The Looking Glass: An Interview with Stacey Huget, Executive Director of the Looking Glass Foundation\nThe sad truth is that there are far too many women who suffer from a distorted, and undervalued sense of self. For years Sympli has been a proud supporter of the Looking Glass Foundation, sharing the belief that every woman is perfectly whole when they are purely themselves.\nThe foundation is an organization that strives to raise awareness and offers support to those affected by eating disorders. It is a serious illness, with a complexity that shouldn\u2019t be hidden. It is also a cause that the fashion industry must accept responsibility for.\nExecutive Director of the foundation, Stacey Huget, agreed to an interview with us in which she explains her mission and the very real struggle many still face today.\nWhy was it necessary to create the Looking Glass Foundation?\nIn 2002 three mothers, Deborah Grimm, Dolores Elliot, and Cindy Dobbe were desperate to find help for their daughters, all of which were struggling with eating disorders. Canada\u2019s lack of resources forced them to seek treatment at a facility in the United States, adding exorbitant costs to an already emotionally fraught journey of recovery.\nFed up with this inadequacy they banded together and created the Looking Glass Foundation. It\u2019s been a long road, but the foundation has expanded immensely to include the Looking Glass Residence, an annual summer camp, live support agents, and a plethora of online and digital resources to aid and educate people on the complexity of eating disorders.\nThe Looking Glass Foundation has since impacted the lives of thousands of individuals and families affected by this disease. The daughters of all three founding mothers are also now happily recovered.\nWhat do you feel is the biggest struggle faced by those with eating disorders?\nThe struggles are as complex as they are difficult. It\u2019s impossible to narrow it down to only one. Last year we launched the Something\u2019s Gotta Give campaign, discussing how we can really work to get to the other side of this disease.\nSufferers, more often than not, hit a wall of ignorance which deters them from trying to seek further help. Those who have been hospitalized have very few options for treatment after they leave. What does exist is restrictive, expensive, and often incompatible with the schedules and commitments of daily life. Our campaign, Something\u2019s Gotta Give, has culminated into a full feature documentary (premiere screening held December 2017).\nDo you feel that there is a stigma that prevents sufferers from coming forward? Why do you think that is?\nAbsolutely! Eating disorders are accompanied with a lot of shame which prevents people from seeking help. People don\u2019t understand that it is a serious disease, not a lifestyle choice.\nThere are also plenty of barriers that prevail throughout our mainstream culture. There is confusion and misinformation on what healthy food is, what constitutes reasonable exercise, and of course, all the unrealistic beauty standards that make individuals feel inadequate. Cases of eating disorders are also hugely under-represented in statistics. It\u2019s not that the public doesn\u2019t care, they just aren\u2019t well enough informed to realize how serious of a problem it is!\nWhat role do you think fashion plays in women\u2019s self-image?\nFashion plays a huge role. When women go shopping and try on clothing that should be their size, and it doesn\u2019t fit, they feel inadequate. The problem at the root of this is that beauty has become equated with being thin. Women are forced by the fashion industry to be constantly comparing themselves to a false ideal, one that clearly doesn\u2019t represent reality.\nModeling agencies aren\u2019t at the core of the issue; it\u2019s the clothes themselves, and the designers who make them for mannequins instead of real people. It\u2019s a distorted culture of perfection and celebrity, one that demands the impossible from women. It can be extremely toxic.\nHow can fashion change the way women see themselves for the better?\nSympli is a fantastic example of a brand that does just that!\nClothing should be designed for women with real bodies. It should showcase them and make them feel comfortable and beautiful in their own skin. Sadly, the majority of fashion brands focus on how women should look, rather than how they truly feel. It takes courage to design clothes for all women. If this was the rule rather than the exception, I have no doubt that the rates of eating disorders would plummet.\nCan you explain the name of the foundation and the significance of the Looking Glass?\nWe get a lot of questions about that, and we find that it can mean very different things to different people. Without sounding too limiting, I would say that the mirror plays a significant role in how we see ourselves. If our view is distorted, it can compromise our whole life.\nThe Looking Glass Foundation aims to support women to see their true selves, without compromise. We want them to look in the mirror and love themselves for everything that they are.\nIn an ideal world, how would you like to see women judge their own worth?\nI would want women not to judge their own worth, but to celebrate it; It shouldn\u2019t be a conditional thing. Every individual has intrinsic value, and this is something they should recognize and cherish. I would love to see women assume and declare their worth, defining it however they wish to. That\u2019s how we should all live our lives.\nBefore becoming Executive Director of the Looking Glass Foundation, Stacey Huget enjoyed 30 successful years as an executive and consultant in the private sector \u2014 two decades of which were also spent hiding her devastating battle with an eating disorder, depression, and alcoholism. Happily recovered now for 13 years. Stacey looks forward to a day when eating disorders are something we remember as a thing of the past.\nFor more information on the Looking Glass Foundation visit http://www.lookingglassbc.com.\nFiled Under: Story, Women Tagged With: Beauty standards, Eating Disorders, Self-image, women",

        "raw_content": "\u2018I created my own suffering:\u2019 A Seattleite reflects on the election of Donald Trump\nWritten by Jessica Eggert\nHere's another test caption\nIn nine days, Donald Trump will move into the White House. And most of us still don\u2019t understand how this happened.\nLet\u2019s get real: we\u2019re embarking on some challenging times. An ongoing battle of prejudice and bigotry. Louder discrimination against the amount of melanin in our skin, who we love and how we want to look when naked. Weakening climate change policies. Harmful trade disputes with foreign countries. A new universal health care plan (or lack thereof). The continued war on Syria. Barring immigration from countries labeled \u201chigh-risk\u201d. January 20, 2017, and everything following that date.\nJessica Eggert is a diversity and inclusion advocate and the co-creator of Medley.\nMost of these issues aren\u2019t new and shouldn\u2019t come as a shock. We\u2019ve been living in a messed up world for a long time. Yet many of us didn\u2019t see these events coming \u2014 including myself.\nAt some point in my life, I became all consumed in my bubble here in downtown Seattle \u2014 where I live and work. Why? Maybe it was the way I was raised. The mindset that I\u2019m accustomed to. My life\u2019s dramatic changes from four years ago to today.\nMy family and I moved to Seattle from Tampa, Florida a few years ago. At that time, we started making more money than we ever thought we would. And that\u2019s when my problems noticeably became first-world ones.\n\u201cYou want to charge me WHAT for rent?!\u201d\n\u201cI have to get a nanny because all the daycares are full.\u201d\n\u201cYou use plastic bags? Sorry, only reusable bags for me.\u201d\nI am a black female in one of the most homogeneous cities in the United States. And I have become privileged in ways that many have not experienced.\nThat\u2019s not to say that I lost sight of who I am. I worked my ass off to get where I am today. I held down two jobs from the age of 16 to afford my $600 apartment, put myself through school, and take care of my cats. I\u2019ve experienced and fought sexism, racism, and inappropriate behavior in the corporate world. I\u2019ve negotiated for myself and leaned all the way in. I battled bible-thumping comments against my interracial marriage and my mixed baby. And I\u2019m painfully aware that when walking through the streets of South Lake Union, I\u2019m often the only one who looks like me.\nYet, I was consumed in my bubble. My worries extended to whether I should rent or buy in this market. Whether I should keep my son in a nanny-share or put him back into daycare. Or how I can help more women and people of color feel as valued at work as their peers. My daily news consisted of GeekWire, TechCrunch, LinkedIn and my Twitter feed. I surrounded myself with conversations on inclusion and went to events on women in tech and diversity in tech. I held events to push for equality in the workplace.\nAnd yes, people are becoming more aware of the issues we face in many industries around the country. And, hell yes \u2014 I\u2019m proud of the knowledge I\u2019ve gained, the work that I\u2019ve done, and the work I\u2018ll continue to do.\nBut I was becoming less aware of the issues that affected other people across the nation \u2014 even my family and friends back home.\nSo when Trump won, I was sick to my stomach. I cried. I held my son tight, watching words and actions of hate on the news. I thanked God that I could shield him from that nonsense, for now. I took the next day off work and had lunch and drinks with a friend, and we mourned. When my Facebook and Twitter feed filled with cheers and words of hate toward non-supporters, I cut myself off from social media.\nThen the next day, I realized how wrong I\u2019d been. Not just the day before. But how wrong I\u2019d been for years. I saw what I wanted to see. I saw the issues that I could deal with, the issues that intrigued me, and the issues I knew I could help solve. I didn\u2019t pay attention to growing residential economic segregation. Or the unequal education system. Or even the fact that we still have thousands of Americans still fighting in the Afghan war.\nYes, I read the news I saw a decent amount of issues that the world faced.\nBut I didn\u2019t let the words sink in. I stopped seeing outside of my bubble and blocked the ugly from my mind and from my life. I didn\u2019t see how many Americans were still hurting. I didn\u2019t notice how many needed their voices to be heard and prayed for drastic change. I didn\u2019t realize how many people needed a Donald Trump. To hear the words, like rays of sunshine breaking through dark clouds on their faces, that said, \u201cI hear you. I support you. And I want to help you.\u201d\nNow, let\u2019s be clear\u2026 those were just words. Words mean nothing without action. Ones that won\u2019t and can\u2019t be taken. But I digress\u2026\nI was creating my own suffering. I tailored what I wanted to hear and see when it came to the media. And technology created that possibility for me. The chance to hide behind my screen, my phone, my keyboard, and read what I wanted to read. See what I wanted to see. And block what I wanted to block.\nIn The Art of Happiness, the Dalai Lama states:\n\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that with growing technology, the general level of physical comfort has improved for many in Western society. It is at this point that a critical shift in perception takes place; as suffering becomes less visible, it is no longer seen as part of the fundamental nature of human beings \u2014 but rather as an anomaly, a sign that something has gone terribly wrong, a sign of \u201cfailure\u201d of some system, an infringement on our guaranteed right to happiness!\u201d\nWhen that ugly truth or suffering occurs, we see it as an unnatural occurrence. We think: \u201cHow could this have happened?\u201d \u201cWhere is this coming from?\u201d \u201cThe world is worse today than it\u2019s been in a long time!\u201d And then we start looking for someone to blame. Most of the time, that\u2019s our peers. Our government. The education system. Our bosses.\nThat\u2019s what I was doing. And what I believe many others are doing as well. The fact that someone who I found to be so insulting, degrading and WRONG could end up as our president was just unnatural. Who did this?! It wasn\u2019t my state, my friends, my leaders, my neighbors. Something had gone terribly wrong.\nBut things had been going terribly wrong for a while for many others. And I didn\u2019t realize this until after election day \u2013 until I sat back and thought about what I was missing, and reflected on how I handled the situation and who I was blaming. Lucky for me, at that time I had just started the \u201cArt of Happiness\u201d. I was at a point in my life where I was focused on reflection and shaping myself to prepare for a new journey. But I couldn\u2019t just prepare myself to be open for my own personal journey ahead. I had to be open to my surroundings, to how other\u2019s journeys could change my path, and how I could help shape the world around me.\nAnd to do this, I had to change my perception of the world. Realize that it really is a messed up, beautiful place. Realize that there was suffering all around me that I wasn\u2019t seeing. It wasn\u2019t just on the corners asking me for spare change. It wasn\u2019t only in the tears and cries for help from the man sitting on that park bench. And it wasn\u2019t only told through career experience stories from women and people of color. The suffering was behind closed doors, in truths that I\u2019ve been blessed to not have to experience. And in truths that, God forbid, could happen to me at any point in my life.\nOnce I accepted that suffering is everywhere and is a natural fact of human existence, I knew that future events as drastic as Trump becoming America\u2019s next president wouldn\u2019t be as shocking to me. I knew that I had to stop placing myself at the center of the universe. Because I am just one loud, determined, way too cheerful piece of hay in a haystack. Realizing the problem is the first step, right?\nOf course, it doesn\u2019t stop there.\nWhether I continue to suffer depends on how I react to situations. I learned to let the words of hate and violence come, but not respond with hate and violence in my mind or out loud.\nInstead, I learned to respond with love and compassion. And try to understand other\u2019s point of view and where their anger is coming from. A world of hurt? Unacknowledged pain? Jealousy? Or just straight up rudeness? Whatever it is, it doesn\u2019t mean I have to stoop to that level of anger. It means that I have to acknowledge the fact that there\u2019s more suffering out there than I\u2019m aware of. And I have to be compassionate, understanding, and take action to help in any way that I can.\nBecause change starts with awareness. I\u2019ve grown my personal awareness. I no longer read just GeekWire and TechCrunch. I add in a little CNN and Huffington Post. I attend more events that make me uncomfortable, that challenge my beliefs or make me see events in a different light. I practice active listening. I started Medley, to help share stories of inclusion and exclusion. I interview people getting it right, looking outside of their lives, and giving back to others. I also started volunteering at an organization that helps those who are disadvantaged get back on their feet.\nAnd I know these are baby steps. I have a long way to go. (Don\u2019t we all?) But I\u2019ll keep seeking out and approaching situations with a wider perspective on others\u2019 opinions and desires.\nAnd I will no longer create my own suffering.\nJessica Eggert is a diversity and inclusion advocate and the co-creator of Medley, a social journalism aggregator that promotes transparency and helps people share their experiences of inclusion and exclusion in the workplace. She and her family have lived in Seattle for almost 3 years, are very active in the community, and don\u2019t believe in the Seattle freeze.\nLooking for something to do on Inauguration Day?\nJoin us at our event Inauguration Night: Reflect, Be Heard, Take Action.

Tadgh found something else to look at.\nAs soon as she started speaking again the blinking light on the consoles opposite them stopped holding his interest and he turned back to face her. He couldn't let her speak like this and not be giving her his full attention.\n\u201cThank you. Again. And thank you for being there when I woke up. At the hospital and in that cell. I didn't say that before and I should have. It meant a lot to not be alone then.\n\u201cLooks we'll get this crap done with Helix and over time it will just be further and further behind us. Just going to be\u2026 Yeah for a while.\u201d He failed to think of a good word for what the aftermath was, but managed to garble his point across.\nFor some reason that she couldn\u2019t quite explain, Lyla felt the sudden urge to reach out to Tadgh as his spoke. She hadn\u2019t even realized that her hand had moved towards him until it was resting lightly against his forearm.\nBefore she gave her answer, she hesitantly pulled her hand back, realizing that it might be entirely too personal a touch. \u201cYou\u2019d had done the same. I couldn\u2019t just leave you there alone, not in that condition.\u201d She murmured softly, giving a faint smile.\n\u201cI just hope Helix doesn\u2019t get us killed with this job of theirs\u2026 double crossing Petrov is dangerous.\u201d She added a moment later, clasping her hands together in her lap to keep them from moving on their own accord a second time.\nBack on Ceres he had barely been aware when she had comforted him with a touch. This time the way she slowly retracted her hand was apparent.\nYou should let her know you didn\u2019t mind, he thought to himself. Instead he kept his hands together and just nodded in agreement. Coward, he chastised himself.\nHe took a breath, gathered some courage and reached out. He laid his hand across both of hers. Like that it was so easy to see the differences between them. Her fingers were much longer than his own. Compared to her it seemed he had just crude, inelegant extremities.\n\u201cI\u2019m glad you think I would have done.\u201d He had stuck out his neck for others before and it had gone badly for him. Despite what he might have thought to himself he knew that if the same conditions came around he would do what he could for her.\n\u201cAlways a good old triple cross. Feed them duff info. We\u2019ll work it out,\u201d he tried confidently before changing his tone. \u201cI was out of it at the time, but that officer was creepy as hell right?\u201d\nThe smile he tried was a little lopsided, dimple appearing on his left cheek. It was good to talk openly, but also good to try not to dwell on the troubling side of life in his opinion. Not that he had ever been through anything so trying before. He wouldn\u2019t have put her through what she had been through, but in some respects he was glad for a shared weight.\nLyla looked down at his hand rest on top of hers, then she slowly turned one of her hands over and opened her fingers. The difference in their limbs was stark when compared next to each other, and she idly brushed a thumb over the back of his hand. She felt a pang of self-consciousness at the physical manifestation of their different upbringings. Nevertheless, she was grateful that he\u2019d reached out to her and she didn\u2019t pull away.\n\u201cWhich one?\u201d She asked with a soft chuckle, shaking her head slightly from side to side. \u201cThey were both\u2026 a little weird.\u201d It was a pleasant distraction, even if she did know what it was, she was more than happy to pursue that line of conversation.\n\u201cAt least you missed the worst of it.\u201d She smiled, teasing Tadgh a little with a playful wink.\n#24 Lyla, Dec 8, 2018\n\u201cHeh.\u201d He went, but inside his own mind he went: oh no. The wink had been innocent, but suddenly he was aware of the smudge of grease lingering on her cheek, the way her curls threatened to fall forwards, the way the green was more vibrant around the outside of his eyes. Don't you go thinking things like that about another member of such a small crew, he chastised himself as he tried to push that stirring back down. Now he was the one more aware of their hands together.\n\u201cIsarde seemed like your usual level or Helix corrupt. Turn the eye kind of guy. The other one was more, \u2018my badge says Helix but my eyes say serial killer.\u2019 Don't even remember if he gave a name?\u201d\n#25 Tadgh, Dec 19, 2018",

The amendments clarify and simplify certain provisions Regulation J, remove obsolete provisions, and align the rights and obligations of sending banks, paying banks, and Federal Reserve Banks (Reserve Banks) with the Board's recent amendments to Regulation CC to reflect the virtually all-electronic check collection and return environment. The final rule also amends Regulation J to clarify that terms used in financial messaging standards, such as ISO 20022, do not confer legal status or responsibilities.\nClinton N.

This subpart includes the warranties and indemnities that are given to the Reserve Banks by parties that send items to the Reserve Banks for collection and return, as well as the warranties and indemnities for which the Reserve Banks are responsible in connection with the items they handle. Subpart A also describes the methods by which the Reserve Banks may recover for losses associated with their collection of items. Subpart A authorizes the Reserve Banks to issue operating circulars governing the details of the collection of checks and other items and provides that such operating circulars have binding effect on all parties interested in an item handled by a Reserve Bank. The Reserve Banks' Operating Circular No. 3, \u201cCollection of Cash Items and Returned Checks\u201d (OC 3),1 is the operating circular that is most relevant to the Reserve Banks' check collection activities. Subpart B of Regulation J provides rules to govern funds transfers through the Reserve Banks' Fedwire Funds Service. This service is also governed by the Reserve Banks' Operating Circular No. 6, \u201cFunds Transfers through the Fedwire Funds Service\u201d (OC 6).2\n1\u2009See, https://www.frbservices.org/assets/resources/rules-regulations/072315-operating-circular-3.pdf.\n2\u2009See, https://www.frbservices.org/assets/resources/rules-regulations/operating-circular-6-102917.pdf.\nII. Overview of Proposal and Comments\nIn March 2018, the Board published a notice of proposed rulemaking (\u201cproposal\u201d) intended to align subpart A of Regulation J with the Board's 2017 amendments to Regulation CC and cross reference certain provisions (83 FR 11431). The proposal also included amendments to subpart B of Regulation J to clarify that terms used in financial messaging standards, such as ISO 20022, do not confer legal status or responsibilities. The Board received 25 comments in response to its proposal during the comment period from a variety of commenters, including financial institutions, trade associations, clearinghouses, and private individuals. The Board has considered all comments received and has adopted amendments to Regulation J as described below.\nA. Alignment With Regulation CC Amendments Addressing Electronic Checks\nUnder subpart A of Regulation J, Reserve Banks handle \u201citems,\u201d which are defined to include \u201celectronic items.\u201d Regulation J currently defines an \u201celectronic item\u201d as an electronic image of, and information describing, an item that a Reserve Bank agrees to handle pursuant to an operating circular. Regulation J also sets forth certain warranties provided to the Reserve Banks by the sender of an electronic item and certain warranties provided by the Reserve Banks when sending or presenting an electronic item. Specifically, Regulation J provides that for electronic items, the sender and the Reserve Banks make warranties (1) as set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.) and Regulation CC as if the electronic item were subject to their terms; and (2) similar to those made for substitute checks under the Check 21 Act (\u201cCheck-21-like warranties\u201d). Regulation J also currently provides similar provisions related to checks that are returned as electronic items.\nIn 2017, the Board published a final rule amending Regulation CC to reflect the virtually all-electronic check collection and return environment (82 FR 27552). Among other things, the amendments created a regulatory framework for the collection and return of electronic items (i.e., electronic images and electronic information derived from a paper item) by defining the terms \u201celectronic check\u201d and \u201celectronic returned check,\u201d creating Check-21-like warranties for electronic checks and electronic returned checks, and applying existing paper-check warranties to electronic checks and electronic returned checks.\nIn its proposal, the Board proposed to remove the term \u201celectronic item\u201d from Regulation J and define \u201ccheck\u201d and \u201creturned check\u201d to include an electronic check and electronic returned check as defined in \u00a7\u2009229.2 of Regulation CC. The proposal defined the term \u201citem\u201d to include an electronic check as defined in Regulation CC. The Board also proposed to eliminate duplicative provisions by removing the Check-21-like warranties currently provided under Regulation J by the sender and the Reserve Banks. Instead, the proposal provided that the sender of an item (including an electronic check) and the Reserve Banks would (as applicable and unless otherwise provided) make all the warranties and indemnities set forth in and subject to the terms of subparts C and D in Regulation CC. The Board proposed similar amendments to the provisions of Regulation J that currently address returning checks as electronic items.\nCommenters generally supported aligning Regulation J with Regulation CC's amendments regarding electronic checks. The Board received specific comments on cross referencing Regulation CC electronic check warranties and indemnities, which is discussed in detail in the relevant section-by-section analysis. The Board has revised proposed \u00a7\u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3) and 210.12(e) to extend the warranties with respect to electronic checks and electronic returned checks provided by Reserve Banks to the same scope of recipients as in Regulation CC, as discussed in detail in the relevant section-by-section analyses.\nB. Electronically Created Items\nIn the 2017 amendments to Regulation CC, the Board included certain indemnities with respect to electronically-created items (ECIs), which are check-like items created in electronic form that never existed in paper form. ECIs can be difficult to distinguish from electronic images of paper checks. As a practical matter, a bank receiving an ECI often handles it as if it were derived from a paper check. However, because there was no original paper check corresponding to the ECI, the warranties, indemnities, and other provisions of Regulation CC would not apply to those items. As the Board explained in the 2017 Regulation CC amendments, the payee and the depositary bank are in the best position to know whether an item is electronically created and to prevent the item from entering the check-collection system. Therefore, to protect banks that receive ECIs during the check collection process, the Board's Regulation CC amendments provided indemnities that ultimately shift liability for losses to the depositary bank. These losses could arise because the ECI (1) is not derived from a paper check, (2) was unauthorized, or (3) was transferred or presented for payment more than once.3 As described above, the final rule cross references Regulation CC's warranties and indemnities in Regulation J, including Regulation CC's ECI indemnities.\n3\u200912 CFR 229.34(g) provides that each bank that transfers or presents an electronically-created item and receives a settlement or other consideration for it shall indemnify, as set forth in \u00a7\u2009229.34(i), each transferee bank, any subsequent collecting bank, the paying bank, and any subsequent returning bank against losses that result from the fact that (1) the electronic image or electronic information is not derived from a paper check; (2) the person on whose account the electronically-created item is drawn did not authorize the issuance of the item in the amount stated on the item or to the payee stated on the item (for purposes of paragraph (g)(2), \u201caccount\u201d includes an account as defined in \u00a7\u2009229.2(a) as well as a credit or other arrangement that allows a person to draw checks that are payable by, through, or at a bank); or (3) a person receives a transfer, presentment, or return of, or otherwise is charged for an electronically-created item such that the person is asked to make payment based on an item or check it has already paid.\nIn its proposal, the Board explained that although Regulation J does not explicitly address ECIs, the definition of item in Regulation J does not encompass ECIs and therefore Regulation J does not allow for the handling of ECIs by the Reserve Banks. Specifically, Regulation J defines an item, in part, as \u201can instrument or a promise or order to pay money, whether negotiable or not\u201d that meets several other requirements.4 The terms \u201cinstrument,\u201d \u201cpromise,\u201d and \u201corder\u201d are defined under the U.C.C. as requiring a writing.5 Because they never existed in tangible form and therefore do not qualify as writings, ECIs are not \u201citems\u201d as defined in Regulation J.\n4\u200912 CFR 210.2(i).\n5\u2009Terms not otherwise defined in Regulation J or Regulation CC have the meanings set forth in the U.C.C. Under the U.C.C., \u201cinstrument\u201d means a \u201cnegotiable instrument\u201d which is defined in part as \u201cunconditional promise or order to pay a fixed amount of money.\u201d U.C.C. 3-104. \u201cPromise\u201d is defined as \u201ca written undertaking to pay money signed by the person undertaking to pay.\u201d U.C.C. 3-103. \u201cOrder\u201d is defined as \u201ca written instruction to pay money signed by the person giving the instruction.\u201d U.C.C. 3-103. \u201cWriting\u201d and \u201cwritten\u201d are defined as including \u201cprinting, typewriting, or any other intentional reduction to tangible form.\u201d U.C.C. 1-201.\nTo provide greater clarity that Regulation J does not allow for the handling of ECIs by the Reserve Banks, the Board proposed to amend the definition of \u201citem\u201d in subpart A of Regulation J to state explicitly that the term does not include an ECI as defined in Regulation CC. Furthermore, because Regulation J is intended to provide rules for the collection and return of items by the Reserve Banks, the Board proposed to allow the Reserve Banks to require senders to provide warranties and indemnities that only \u201citems\u201d and any \u201cnoncash items\u201d the Reserve Banks have agreed to handle will be provided to the Reserve Banks. The Board's proposal also permitted the Reserve Banks to provide a subsequent collecting bank and a paying bank the warranties and indemnities provided by the sender. The Board requested comment on possible implications that this clarification and change related to ECIs in Regulation J may have on financial institutions or the industry more broadly. The Board also requested comment on whether, and to what extent, the Board should consider amending Regulation J as part of a future rulemaking to permit the Reserve Banks to accept ECIs.\nThree commenters, including a Federal Reserve Bank and a comment letter submitted by a group of trade associations (\u201cgroup letter\u201d), supported the Board's proposal on ECIs. The Reserve Bank commenter noted that it is aware that some advocates support allowing ECIs to be handled in the same manner as checks and has worked with these advocates to explore the possibility of making legal and operational changes to support ECIs. However, the Reserve Bank commenter stated that there is currently no consensus among industry participants to change laws or adopt standards necessary to support ECIs. In the absence of such laws and standards supporting ECIs, the Reserve Bank commenter believes that ECIs represent an unacceptable level of risk to financial institutions. Similarly, the group letter stated that ECIs lack legal status under existing laws and expose financial institutions to risks that cannot be effectively mitigated. The group letter stated that due to ECIs uncertain legal status, it is important to protect financial institutions that receive ECIs during the check collection process from damage or loss arising from the fact that ECIs are not derived from paper checks. Therefore, the group supported the Board's proposal to allow Reserve Banks to require senders to provide warranties and indemnities with respect to ECIs and did not support additional rulemaking to allow the handling of ECIs by the Reserve Banks.\nFourteen commenters, including a joint commenter letter submitted by businesses, financial institutions, and industry associations (\u201cjoint letter\u201d), generally did not support the Board's proposed amendments on ECIs. The joint letter stated that the Board's proposal concerning ECIs is not in line with the Board's recent payment system improvement efforts.6 Another commenter stated that the Board's proposal limited consumer choice because ECIs may be initiated by consumers that do not have access to a debit or credit card. Commenters stated that the Board's proposal discouraged the evolution of the check system to an all-electronic payment system that would result in lower barriers to entry, lower cost, increased speed, and increased parity among financial institutions. Two commenters requested the Board to conduct further studies on ECIs. One commenter expressed concern that institutions would be unable to identify ECIs and requested that the Board provide guidance on how banks can recognize ECIs. Another commenter requested that the Board expressly set out rules for alternative methods of direct exchange of ECIs in its final rule and guidance.\n6\u2009The joint letter specifically cited the Federal Reserve's 2013 consultation paper. The Federal Reserve Banks, Payment System Improvement\u2014Public Consultation Paper (2013).\nThe Board has considered the comments received and has adopted the amendments concerning ECIs as proposed in its final rule. The Board notes that numerous comments erroneously viewed the Board's proposed amendments as substantive modifications that created a new prohibition on ECIs. However, as discussed above, ECIs are not \u201citems\u201d under the Board's current Regulation J and therefore cannot be handled by the Reserve Banks. This exclusion of ECIs under current Regulation J is already reflected in current OC 3, which requires that an \u201celectronic item\u201d contain an image and data captured from a paper check. The Board's amendments to the definition of \u201citem\u201d are intended only to provide additional clarity regarding these existing exclusions and do not create any new prohibitions. The Board believes this existing exclusion shifts liability to parties better positioned to know whether a purported item is electronically created and that can either prevent the ECI from entering the check-collection system or assume the risk of sending it forward. Moreover, the Board's amendments would not prevent entities that desire to exchange ECIs from doing so by agreement using direct exchange relationships or other methods not involving the Reserve Banks.\nThe Board appreciates comments regarding the Federal Reserve's payment system improvement efforts and continues to support technological innovation in the payments system. However, as set forth in the Federal Reserve's Strategies for Improving the U.S. Payment System paper,7 the Federal Reserve is committed to improving the speed and efficiency of the U.S. payment system from end-to-end while maintaining a high level of safety and accessibility. As explained in that paper, \u201ccredit-push payments,\u201d which allow the paying bank to authenticate the customer and confirm \u201cgood funds\u201d are available to support the transaction, have become the expectation when making electronic person-to-person, business-to-business and certain bill payments. Unlike \u201ccredit-push payments,\u201d \u201cdebit-pull payments\u201d such as ECIs have a higher risk profile because they generally do not have the same authentication processes and may allow unauthorized parties who have access to a payer's account information to fraudulently pull funds out of the payer's account. To date, there has not been the industry support or necessary investment to address the heightened risk profiles created by processing electronically-created debit instruments through the check collection system. Moreover, there is legal uncertainty as to the status of ECIs that are processed as if they were checks under the U.C.C. and the Electronic Funds Transfer Act. The Board believes that the heightened risk profile and legal uncertainty surrounding ECIs currently outweigh the potential benefits of ECIs mentioned by the commenters and, accordingly, will not conduct further studies on ECIs at this time.\n7\u2009Federal Reserve System, Strategies for Improving the U.S. Payment System (2016).\nThe Board does not believe it is appropriate to adopt guidance to clarify how banks can distinguish ECIs from electronic checks. As it stated in its proposal, the Board recognizes that a bank receiving an electronic image generally cannot distinguish an image that is derived from a paper check from an ECI. This inability to distinguish ECIs from electronic images of paper checks is the reason the Board adopted indemnities with respect to ECIs in Regulation CC. The parties in the best position to know whether a purported item is electronically created are also in the best position to assess and take on any associated risks that may arise from ECIs entering the check collection system and can also address such risk in agreements with their customers that deposit ECIs.\nC. Settlement and Payment\nRegulation J currently provides that settlement with a Reserve Bank for cash items \u201cshall be made by debit to an account on the Reserve Bank's books, cash, or other form of settlement\u201d to which the Reserve Bank has agreed.8 With respect to noncash items, Regulation J provides that a Reserve Bank may require settlement by cash, by a debit to an account on a Reserve Bank's books or \u201cby any of the following that is in a form acceptable to the collecting Reserve Bank: Bank draft, transfer of funds or bank credit, or any other form of payment authorized by State law.\u201d\u20099 Regulation J also currently provides that a Reserve Bank may require a nonbank payor to settle for items by cash, or by \u201cany of the following that is in a form acceptable to the Reserve Bank: Cashier's check, certified check, or other bank draft or obligation.\u201d\u200910 In order to facilitate the efficient collection of items, the Reserve Banks' current practice is generally to settle for items by debit to an account on the Reserve Bank's books. The use of cash is rare, typically only done in emergency situations, and could be covered by a provision allowing \u201cother form of settlement to which the Reserve Bank agrees.\u201d\n8\u200912 CFR 210.9(b)(5).\n10\u200912 CFR 210.9(d).\nThe Board proposed to revise certain settlement provisions of Regulation J to remove references to cash and other specified forms of settlement (e.g., cashier's checks or certified checks) and instead state that the Reserve Banks may settle by a debit to an account on the Reserve Bank's books, or another form of settlement acceptable to the Reserve Banks. The Board requested comment on possible implications that the proposed changes may have on financial institutions with which the Reserve Banks settle for the presentment of items.\nThe Board received one comment supporting the proposal and no opposing comments. The Board has adopted these amendments as proposed in the final rule.\nD. Legal Status of Terms Used in Financial Messaging Standards\nFinancial messaging standards provide a common format that allows different financial institutions to communicate. The Board has separately requested comment on the Federal Reserve Banks' plan to migrate to the ISO 20022 financial messaging standard for the Fedwire Funds Service.11 ISO 20022 is an international standard that employs terminology that differs in key respects from that used in U.S. funds-transfer law, including Regulation J. The Board proposed an amendment to subpart B of Regulation J that would clarify that terms used in financial messaging standards, such as ISO 20022, do not confer or connote legal status or responsibilities.\nThe Board received four comments supporting these proposed changes and no opposing comments. The Board has adopted these amendments as proposed.\nIII. Section-by-Section Analysis Subpart A\u2014Collection of Checks and Other Items by Federal Reserve Banks Section 210.2\u2003Definitions 1. Section 210.2(h)\u2014Check\nRegulation J defines the term \u201ccheck\u201d as a draft as defined in the U.C.C. drawn on a bank and payable on demand. The Board proposed to revise the definition of \u201ccheck\u201d to mean a \u201ccheck\u201d and an \u201celectronic check\u201d as those terms are defined in Regulation CC. This amendment aligns the terminology in the two regulations.\nRegulation J also includes the term \u201ccheck as defined in 12 CFR 229.2(k)\u201d (the Regulation CC definition of \u201ccheck\u201d). This term is used in Regulation J in those provisions that require specific references to the Regulation CC definition of \u201ccheck.\u201d (See \u00a7\u00a7\u2009210.2(m), 210.7(b)(2), and 210.12(a)(2).) The Board proposed to delete the definition of \u201ccheck as defined in 12 CFR 229.2(k)\u201d because it was no longer needed in light of the proposed revision of the Regulation J definition of \u201ccheck\u201d to cross-reference the Regulation CC definition. The Board also proposed to revise the three provisions where it is used by deleting the reference to \u201ccheck as defined in 12 CFR 229.2(k).\u201d\nSix commenters, including the group letter, were generally supportive of the Board's proposed changes to align Regulation J with Regulation CC. The Board did not receive specific comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.2(h) or any opposing comments. The Board has adopted these changes as proposed.\n2. Section 210.2(i)\u2014Item\nRegulation J uses the term \u201citem\u201d to refer to the instruments and electronic images that the Reserve Banks handle. Regulation J uses the term \u201celectronic item\u201d to refer to an electronic image of an item, and information describing that item, that a Reserve Bank agrees to handle as an item pursuant to an operating circular. To align the terminology of Regulation J with Regulation CC, the Board proposed to delete the definition of \u201celectronic item\u201d and revise the definition of \u201citem\u201d in \u00a7\u2009210.2(i) to include a check, which, under the proposed amendment discussed above would include both a check and an electronic check as defined in Regulation CC. The Board also proposed to add a clarifying statement that the term \u201citem\u201d does not include an ECI as defined in \u00a7\u2009229.2 of Regulation CC.\nSix commenters, including the group letter, were generally supportive of alignment between Regulation J and Regulation CC. With respect to ECIs in particular, three commenters supported the Board's proposed amendments, while fourteen commenters generally opposed amendments that restricted the Reserve Banks' handling of ECIs. For reasons described in the overview section, the Board has adopted \u00a7\u2009210.2(i) as proposed.\n3. Section 210.2(m)\u2014Returned Check\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.2(m) defines a \u201creturned check\u201d as \u201ca cash item or a check as defined in 12 CFR 229.2(k) returned by a paying bank.\u201d To align the definition of \u201creturned check\u201d with \u201ccheck,\u201d the Board proposed to delete the reference to \u201ccheck as defined in 12 CFR 229.2(k)\u201d and instead refer to the definition of \u201celectronic returned check\u201d in Regulation CC. The Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.2(m). The Board has adopted these changes as proposed.\n4. Section 210.2(n)\u2014Sender\nA \u201csender\u201d under \u00a7\u2009210.2(n) is any of several listed entities that sends an item to a Reserve Bank for forward collection. The Board proposed to add \u201cmember bank, as defined in section 1 of the Federal Reserve Act\u201d in \u00a7\u2009210.2(n)(2) to include a bank or trust company that is a member of one of the Federal Reserve Banks to ensure inclusion of any member bank that does not fall under the existing definition. The Board proposed to redesignate current \u00a7\u2009210.2(n)(2)-(6) to \u00a7\u2009210.2(n)(3)-(7) to accommodate the insertion.\nOne commenter requested that the Board clarify whether its proposed changes to \u00a7\u2009210.2(n) would expand the types of institutions that may directly participate as a sender in the Fedwire services subject to subpart B of Regulation J, such as nondepository trust companies. The commenter noted that revising the definition of sender to capture member nondepository trust companies would prompt concerns regarding payment system risk with respect to access to Federal Reserve financial services. The Board's proposed changes to the definition of \u201csender\u201d does not affect the rights of any particular type of entity to obtain access to Federal Reserve services. (In any case, the definition of \u201csender\u201d in \u00a7\u2009210.2(n) applies only to the collection of checks and other items by the Reserve Banks and not to the Fedwire Funds Service.) As stated in the Board's proposal, proposed \u00a7\u2009210.2(n) is intended to ensure inclusion of any member bank that does not fall under the existing list of entities that send items to a Reserve Bank for forward collection. Whether any particular member bank, including a nondepository trust company, obtains an account and access to Reserve Bank check services continues to be governed by existing laws, rules, and policies, including the Federal Reserve Act, the Board's Policy on Payment System Risk and the Reserve Banks' internal risk analysis. The Board intends no expansion of rights by this technical change. The Board has adopted the amendments as proposed.\n5. Section 210.2(q)\u2014Fedwire\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.2(q) defines \u201cFedwire\u201d as having the same meaning set forth in \u00a7\u2009210.26(e). The Board proposed to amend this definition to refer to both \u201cFedwire Funds Service and Fedwire\u201d to conform to the proposed amendment to \u00a7\u2009210.26(e). The Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.2(q) and has adopted the revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.3\u2003General Provisions\nSection 210.3(a) provides general provisions concerning the obligations of Reserve Banks and the role of operating circulars. As discussed in the overview section on ECIs, the Board proposed to add a sentence to \u00a7\u2009210.3(a) to permit Reserve Banks to require a sender to provide warranties and indemnities that only items and any noncash items the Reserve Banks have agreed to handle will be sent to the Reserve Banks. Additionally, in order to allow the Reserve Banks to pass any such warranties and indemnities forward, the Board proposed to authorize the Reserve Banks to provide to a subsequent collecting bank and to the paying bank any warranties and indemnities provided by the sender pursuant to this paragraph.\nThe Board received one comment, the group letter, supporting the proposal. The Board did not receive any comments opposing these particular amendments, although as discussed in the overview section, fourteen commenters generally opposed amendments that restricted the Reserve Banks' handling of ECIs. For the reasons described in the overview section, the Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.4\u2003Sending Items to Reserve Banks\nSection 210.4(a) sets forth the rule for determining the Reserve Bank to which an item should be sent. The Board proposed to clarify this paragraph to provide that a sender's Administrate Reserve Bank may direct a sender (other than a Reserve Bank) to send any item to a specified Reserve Bank, whether or not the item is payable in the Reserve Bank's district. This amendment reflects current practice in the Reserve Banks' check service and is not expected or intended to have a substantive affect. The Board also proposed to capitalize the term \u201cAdministrative Reserve Bank\u201d wherever it appears to conform to the defined term in \u00a7\u2009210.2(c).\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.4 and has adopted the revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.5\u2003Sender's Agreement; Recovery by Reserve Bank 1. Section 210.5(a)\u2014Sender's Agreement\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.5(a) lists the warranties, authorizations, and agreements made by a sender. The first two paragraphs (current \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(1) and (2)) apply to all items and require the sender to authorize the Reserve Banks to handle the item sent and warrant that the sender is entitled to enforce the item, that the item has not been altered, and that the item bears the indorsements applied by all prior parties. The Board did not propose to revise these paragraphs. Current \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(3) and (4) set out warranties for electronic items and electronic items that are not representations of substitute checks, respectively. These warranties are now specified in Regulation CC, and the Board proposed to revise Regulation J accordingly. Specifically, the Board proposed to amend \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(3) to require the sender to make all applicable warranties and indemnities set forth in Regulation CC and the U.C.C. The proposal retained the existing requirement that the sender make all warranties set forth in and subject to the terms of U.C.C. 4-207 for an electronic check as if it were an item subject to the U.C.C. The proposed changes were intended to streamline Regulation J, align \u00a7\u2009210.5(a) with the Regulation CC provisions that set out warranties and indemnities for electronic checks, and ensure a seamless chain of warranties for the items handled by the Reserve Banks.\nThe Board also proposed to require a sender to make any warranties or indemnities regarding the sending of items that the Reserve Banks include in an operating circular issued in accordance with \u00a7\u2009210.3(a) to ensure that only items and any noncash items the Reserve Banks have agreed to handle will be sent to the Reserve Banks (proposed \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(4)). Finally, the Board proposed to add a reference to \u201cindemnities\u201d to the introductory text of \u00a7\u2009210.5(a) to reflect the coverage of sender indemnities in proposed \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(3) and (4).\nOne commenter, the group letter, requested that the Board add commentary concerning the cross referencing of Regulation CC's image quality warranty. Under Regulation CC, each bank that transfers an electronic check warrants that \u201cthe electronic image accurately represents all of the information on the front and back of the original check as of the time the original check was truncated and the electronic information includes an accurate record of all MICR line information required for a substitute check under \u00a7\u2009229.2(aa) and the amount of the check.\u201d\u200912 The group letter requests that the Board add commentary in Regulation J to clarify that the warranty does not require that the electronic check capture those characteristics of the paper check, such as watermarks, microprinting, or other physical security features, that cannot survive the imaging process.\n12\u200912 CFR 229.34(a)(1)(i).\nThe Board acknowledges that the warranty in \u00a7\u2009229.34(a)(1)(i) does not require that the electronic check capture those characteristics of the paper check that cannot survive the imaging process. The commentary to \u00a7\u2009229.34(a)(1)(i) states that the electronic check warranties correspond to the warranties made by a bank that transfers, presents, or returns a substitute check.13 The commentary to the corresponding substitute check warranty states \u201ca substitute check need not capture other characteristics of the check, such as watermarks, microprinting, or other physical security features that cannot survive the imaging process or decorative images, in order to meet the accuracy requirement.\u201d\u200914 The Board's amendments to Regulation J requiring the sender to make all applicable warranties and indemnities set forth in Regulation CC also cross reference the relevant commentary in Regulation CC. Accordingly, the Board does not believe it is necessary to add additional commentary in Regulation J and adopts the revisions as proposed.\n13\u2009See Regulation CC, Official Staff Commentary Section 229.34(a)-2.\n14\u2009See Regulation CC, Official Staff Commentary Section 229.51(a)-3; see also First Am. Bank v. Fed. Reserve Bank of Atlanta, 842 F.3d 487 (7th Cir. 2016).\n2. Section 210.5(a)(5)\u2014Sender's Liability to Reserve Bank\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(5) sets out the sender's liability to Reserve Banks. The Board proposed to amend this paragraph to align this paragraph to changes elsewhere in the proposed rule.\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(5)(i)(C) states that the sender agrees to indemnify the Reserve Bank for any loss or expense resulting from \u201c[a]ny warranty or indemnity made by the Reserve Bank under \u00a7\u2009210.6(b), part 229 of this chapter, or the U.C.C.\u201d The Board proposed to amend this provision to provide that the sender will also indemnify a Reserve Bank for any loss or expense sustained resulting from any warranties and indemnities regarding the sending of \u201citems\u201d required by the Reserve Bank in an operating circular issued pursuant to proposed \u00a7\u2009210.3(a).\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(5)(ii) specifies conditions and limitations to a sender's liability for warranties and indemnities that a Reserve Bank makes for a substitute check, a paper or electronic representation thereof, or any other electronic item. The Board proposed to delete the term \u201celectronic item\u201d in current \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(5)(ii) and replace it with \u201celectronic check.\u201d\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(5)(ii)(A) provides that a sender of an original check is not liable for any amount that the Reserve Bank pays under subpart D of Regulation CC for a subsequently created substitute check or under \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3) for an electronic item, absent the sender's agreement to the contrary. The Board proposed to delete the reference to current \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3), which lists warranties and an indemnity for an electronic item that is not a representation of a substitute check, and replace it with a reference to \u00a7\u2009229.34 of Regulation CC with respect to an electronic check, consistent with other proposed amendments to \u00a7\u2009210.6(b) described below.\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(5)(ii)(B) provides that nothing in Regulation J alters the liability structure that applies to substitute checks and paper or electronic representations of substitute checks under subpart D of Regulation CC. The Board proposed to add that this subpart also does not alter the liability of a sender of an electronic check under \u00a7\u2009229.34 of Regulation CC, consistent with the other proposed revisions to Regulation J.\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(5)(ii)(C) provides that a sender of an electronic item that is not a representation of a substitute check is not liable for any related warranties or indemnities that a Reserve Bank pays that are attributable to the Reserve Bank's own lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care. The Board proposed to broaden this provision by applying the limitation on liability to all senders for any amount that the Reserve Bank pays that is attributable to the Reserve Bank's own lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care under Regulation J or Regulation CC. The Board proposed to redesignate this paragraph as \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(5)(iii) and make conforming changes to cross-references.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.5(a). As discussed in the overview section, the Board received numerous comments generally supporting aligning Regulation J with Regulation CC. The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\n3. Section 210.5(c) & (d)\u2014Recovery by Reserve Bank and Methods of Recovery\nSection 210.5(c) sets out the procedures by which a Reserve Bank may recover against a sender if certain actions or proceedings related to the sender's actions are brought against (or defense is tendered to) a Reserve Bank. A portion of this paragraph was inadvertently dropped from the Code of Federal Regulations. The Board proposed to reinstate the dropped language, which provides that, upon entry of a final judgment or decree, a Reserve Bank may recover from the sender the amount of attorneys' fees and other expenses of litigation incurred, as well as any amount the Reserve Bank is required to pay because of the judgment or decree or the tender of defense, with interest. In addition, the Board proposed to correct cross-references to this provision in \u00a7\u2009210.5(d).\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.5(c) & (d). The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\n4. Section 210.5(e)\u2014Security Interest\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.5(e) provides that when a sender sends an item to a Reserve Bank, the sender and any prior collecting bank grant to the sender's Administrative Reserve Bank a security interest in all of their respective assets in the possession of, or held for the account of, any Reserve Bank to secure their respective obligations due or to become due to the Administrative Reserve Bank under this subpart or subpart C of part 229 (Regulation CC). The Board proposed to amend this paragraph to refer to subpart D of Regulation CC in addition to subpart C, as senders may have obligations to Reserve Banks under that subpart as well.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.5(e). The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.6\u2003Status, Warranties, and Liability of Reserve Bank 1. Section 210.6(a)(2)\u2014Limitations on Reserve Bank Liability\nSection 210.6(a)(2) limits a Reserve Bank's liability with respect to an item to three instances: (1) The Reserve Bank's own lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care, (2) as provided in this section of Regulation J, and (3) as provided in subparts C and D of Regulation CC. The Board proposed to expand this list to provide that a Reserve Bank may be liable under any warranties and indemnities provided in an operating circular issued in accordance with \u00a7\u2009210.3(a) regarding the sending of items.\nThe Board received one comment, the group letter, supporting its proposal to allow the Reserve Banks to address warranties and indemnities for eligible items and non-cash items in the operating circular. The Board did not receive any opposing comments. The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\n2. Section 210.6(b)\u2014Warranties and Liability\nSection 210.6(b) sets forth the warranties and indemnities made by a Reserve Bank when it presents or sends an item. In alignment with the Board's proposed amendments to the sender's warranties in \u00a7\u2009210.5(a), the Board proposed to replace current \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(2) and (3), which provide warranties and indemnities for electronic items and electronic items that are not representations of substitute checks, respectively. Those warranties are now covered by Regulation CC. The Board also proposed to make a conforming amendment to \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(1)(iii) to eliminate the unnecessary reference to \u201cpaper or electronic form.\u201d\nThe Board proposed a new \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(2) to provide that a Reserve Bank would make any warranties or indemnities regarding the sending of items as set forth in an operating circular issued pursuant to proposed \u00a7\u2009210.3(a). This language corresponds to the similar proposed provision for sender liability in \u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(4).\nThe Board proposed a new \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3) to provide that the Reserve Bank makes to a subsequent collecting bank and to the paying bank all the warranties and indemnities set forth in subparts C and D for Regulation CC. Proposed \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3) would retain the existing application of U.C.C. 4-207 warranties to electronic items (now called electronic checks).\nIn \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(4), the Board proposed to retain the existing Reserve Bank indemnity for substitute checks created from electronic checks, which is in current \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3)(ii). This provision provides an indemnity chain for substitute check indemnity claims under Regulation CC, enabling receiving banks (and, in turn, Reserve Banks) to pass the loss on such claims to the bank whose choice to handle an item electronically necessitated the later creation of a substitute check.\nThe Board received one comment, the group letter, on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3). The group letter noted that the persons that receive the electronic check warranties from the Reserve Banks appeared to be more limited than the persons that receive the electronic check warranties under Regulation CC. Specifically, proposed \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3) does not extend the electronic check warranties to the drawer of the check on the forward side, unlike the warranties in Regulation CC. The group letter noted, however, that proposed \u00a7\u2009210.6(a)(2)(iv) provides that a Reserve Bank does not assume any liability with respect to an item or its proceeds \u201cexcept as provided under subparts C and D of Regulation CC.\u201d The group letter requested that the Board clearly require that the Reserve Banks provide the same scope and recipients of the new electronic check warranties in Regulation J as provided under Regulation CC.\nThe Board agrees with the group letter that Reserve Banks should provide the electronic check and electronic returned check warranties to the same scope of recipients in Regulation J as in Regulation CC, including to drawers and owners of checks. The Board believes that extending the warranties to the drawers and owners is consistent with the warranty flow set forth in section 5 of the Check 21 Act for substitute checks and will protect parties outside the banking system from any undesirable consequences resulting from check truncation. The Board has revised proposed \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3) accordingly in the final rule. Otherwise, the Board has adopted \u00a7\u2009210.6(b) as proposed, with minor revisions to correct typographical errors in \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(2) & (3).\n3. Section 210.6(c)\u2014Limitation on Liability\nThe limitations on Reserve Bank liability are set forth in proposed (and current) \u00a7\u2009210.6(a)(2). The Board proposed to delete paragraph (c) as it is redundant and to redesignate current paragraph (d) as paragraph (c). The Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.6(c). The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.7\u2003Presenting Items for Payment\nSection 210.7(b) provides the places of presentment for a Reserve Bank or subsequent collecting bank. Current \u00a7\u2009210.7(b)(2) states \u201cIn the case of a check as defined in 12 CFR 229.2(k), in accordance with 12 CFR 229.36.\u201d In alignment with the Board's proposed deletion of the defined term \u201ccheck as defined in 12 CFR 229.2(k),\u201d the Board proposed to delete the use of that term in \u00a7\u2009210.7(b)(2), as it is no longer needed, and make other minor edits.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.7. The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.9\u2003Settlement and Payment 1. Section 210.9(b)(5), (c), and (d)\u2014Manner of Settlement, Noncash Items, and Nonbank Payor\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.9(b)(5) requires that settlement for cash items with a Reserve Bank be made by debit to an account on the Reserve Bank's books, cash, or other form of settlement to which the Reserve Bank agrees. The Board proposed to amend this provision by removing the reference to cash as a means of settlement. The Board also proposed to make conforming amendments to \u00a7\u2009210.9(c) and (d), as well as to remove the references to other rarely-used forms of settlement (cashier's checks, certified checks, or other bank drafts or obligations). The Board proposed to correct cross-references and to capitalize the term \u201cAdministrative Reserve Bank\u201d wherever it appears to conform to the defined term in \u00a7\u2009210.2(c).\nAs discussed in the overview section, the Board received one comment, the group letter, supporting the proposal. The Board did not receive any opposing comments. The Board has adopted the revisions as proposed.\n2. Section 210.9(e)\u2014Handling of Payment\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.9(e) states that a Reserve Bank may handle a bank draft or other form of payment it receives in payment of a cash item as a cash item and that a Reserve Bank may handle a bank draft or other form of payment it receives in payment of a noncash item as either a cash item or a noncash item. The Board proposed to delete this paragraph as it is now obsolete.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.9(e) and has deleted this paragraph as proposed.\n3. Section 210.9(f)\u2014Liability of Reserve Bank\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.9(f) states that a Reserve Bank that acts in good faith and exercises ordinary care shall not be liable for the nonpayment of, or failure to realize upon, any bank draft or other form of payment that it accepts pursuant to \u00a7\u2009210.9(b)-(d). The Board proposed to renumber this paragraph as \u00a7\u2009210.9(e) and to replace the reference to \u201cbank draft or other form of payment\u201d with \u201cany non-cash form of payment\u201d to conform to the proposed changes to the other provisions of this section.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.9(f). The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.10\u2003Time Schedule and Availability of Credits for Cash Items and Returned Checks\nSection 210.10(a) states that each Reserve Bank shall \u201cinclude in its operating circulars\u201d its time schedules for availability of cash items and returned checks and, correspondingly, when credits can be counted toward reserve balance requirements for purposes of Regulation D (12 CFR part 204). The Reserve Banks' practice is to publish the time schedules on the Federal Reserve website for financial services. Accordingly, the Board proposed to amend this paragraph to delete the requirement that time schedules be included in the operating circulars and, instead, require only that the time schedules be published.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.10. The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.11\u2003Availability of Proceeds of Noncash Items; Time Schedule 1. Section 210.11(b)\u2014Time Schedule\nSection 210.11(b) states that a Reserve Bank may give credit for the proceeds of a noncash item subject to payment in actually and finally collected funds in accordance with a time schedule included in its operating circulars. To conform to amendments made in proposed \u00a7\u2009210.10, the Board proposed to delete the reference to operating circulars and require only that the time schedule be published.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.11(b). The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\n2. Section 210.11(c)\u2014Handling of Payment\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.11(c) prohibits a Reserve Bank from providing credit for a bank draft or other form of payment for a noncash item until it receives payment in actually and finally collected funds. The Board proposed to delete this paragraph, as actually and finally collected funds are already required by \u00a7\u2009210.11(a).\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.11(c) and has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.12\u2003Return of Cash Items and Handling of Returned Checks\nSection 210.12 sets out provisions governing the handling of returned checks. It is the counterpart to \u00a7\u00a7\u2009210.5 and 210.6, which govern the handling of items for forward collection.\n1. Section 210.12(a)\u2014Return of Items\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.12(a)(2) sets out the procedures by which a paying bank may return checks not handled by Reserve Banks and refers to \u201ccheck as defined in \u00a7\u2009229.2(k) of this chapter (Regulation CC).\u201d In alignment with the Board's proposal to delete the defined term \u201ccheck as defined in \u00a7\u2009229.2(k)\u201d in \u00a7\u2009210.2(h), the Board proposed to delete the use of this term in this paragraph, as it is no longer needed, and to use the term \u201ccheck\u201d instead.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.12(a) and has adopted these revisions as proposed.\n2. Section 210.12(c)\u2014Paying Bank's and Returning Bank's Agreement\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.12(c) provides the warranties, authorizations, and agreements related to returned checks made by paying banks and returning banks. The Board proposed amendments to this paragraph that are parallel to the proposed amendments for forward-collection items with respect to the liability of the sender (\u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(3)) and the Reserve Banks (\u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(2)). Specifically, the Board proposed to replace current \u00a7\u2009210.12(c)(3) and (4), which provide warranties for all returned checks that are electronic items and warranties for returned checks that are electronic items that are not representations of substitute checks, respectively, with a provision that requires the paying bank or returning bank to make all the warranties and indemnities as set forth in Regulation CC, as applicable (proposed \u00a7\u2009210.12(c)(3)).\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.12(c)(5) sets out the conditions under which a paying bank or returning bank is liable to a Reserve Bank. The Board proposed to redesignate this paragraph as \u00a7\u2009210.12(c)(4) and amend the paragraph to correspond with the proposed amendments to the section on sender's liability to a Reserve Bank (\u00a7\u2009210.5(a)(4)). The proposed amendments were intended to create consistent liability provisions for senders, paying banks, and returning banks.\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.12(c) and has adopted these revisions as proposed, with a minor revision to correct a typographical error in \u00a7\u2009210.12(c)(1).\n3. Section 210.12(d)\u2014Liability Under Other Law\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.12(d) is titled \u201cPreservation of other warranties and indemnities.\u201d The Board proposed to change the title of this paragraph to \u201cReturning bank's or paying bank's liability under other law\u201d to mirror the heading for the corresponding paragraph for senders (\u00a7\u2009210.5(b)).\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.12(d). The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\n4. Section 210.12(e)\u2014Warranties by and Liability of Reserve Bank\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.12(e) sets forth a Reserve Bank's liability when it handles a returned check, including warranties and liabilities. The Board proposed to amend this paragraph to correspond to the amendments proposed in \u00a7\u2009210.6(b) related to the warranties and liabilities that are made by Reserve Banks when presenting or sending an item.\nThe Board receive one comment, the group letter, on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.12(e). Corresponding to the comment discussed in the section-by-section analysis for \u00a7\u2009210.6(b)(3), the group letter stated that the proposed Regulation J does not extend the electronic check warranties for returns to the owner of the check, unlike the warranties in Regulation CC. The group letter requested that the Board require the Reserve Banks provide in Regulation J the same scope and recipients of the new electronic check warranties as provided under Regulation CC.\nFor the reasons described in the section-by-section analysis for \u00a7\u2009210.6(b), the Board has revised proposed \u00a7\u2009210.12(e)(ii) to extend the warranties for electronic returned checks provided by Reserve Banks to the same scope of recipients as provided in Regulation CC. The Board has also revised proposed \u00a7\u2009210.12(e)(2)(i) to correct a typographical error.\n5. Section 210.12(f) & (g)\u2014Recovery by Reserve Bank & Methods of Recovery\nSection 210.12(f) parallels \u00a7\u2009210.5(c) and sets out the procedures by which a Reserve Bank may recover against a paying bank or returning bank if certain actions or proceedings related to the paying bank's or returning bank's actions are brought against (or defense is tendered to) a Reserve Bank. A portion of this paragraph was inadvertently dropped from the Code of Federal Regulations. The Board proposed to reinstate the dropped language, which provides that, upon entry of a final judgment or decree, a Reserve Bank may recover from the paying bank or returning bank the amount of attorneys' fees and other expenses of litigation incurred, as well as any amount the Reserve Bank is required to pay because of the judgment or decree or the tender of defense, with interest. In addition, the Board proposed to correct cross-references and make organizational changes in \u00a7\u2009210.12(g).\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.12(f) & (g) and has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSubpart B\u2014Funds Transfers Through Fedwire Section 210.25\u2003Authority, Purpose, and Scope\nSection 210.25 sets out the authority, purpose, and scope for subpart B of Regulation J, which governs Fedwire funds transfers. The Board proposed to add a new \u00a7\u2009210.25(e) to clarify that financial messaging standards (e.g., ISO 20022), including the financial messaging components, elements, technical documentation, tags, and terminology used to implement those standards, do not confer or connote legal status or responsibilities. The proposed amendment would specify that Regulation J, Article 4A of the U.C.C., and the operating circulars of the Reserve Banks govern the rights and obligations of parties to the Fedwire Funds Service and supersede any inconsistency between a financial messaging standard adopted by the Fedwire Funds Service. The proposal would also make a conforming change to \u00a7\u2009210.25(b)(2). Additionally, the Board proposed to add in the commentary examples of inconsistent terminology between the ISO 20022 financial messaging standard and U.S. funds transfer law.\nSection 210.2(e) defines the term \u201cFedwire\u201d to mean the funds-transfer system owned and operated by the Federal Reserve Banks that is used primarily for the transmission and settlement of payment orders governed by subpart B. The Board proposed to amend this definition so that it applies to the official title of the service, \u201cFedwire Funds Service,\u201d as well as the shorthand term \u201cFedwire.\u201d The Board also proposed to change references to \u201cFedwire\u201d to \u201cFedwire Funds Service\u201d in \u00a7\u00a7\u2009210.9(b)(4)(i), 210.25(a) and (b)(3), and 210.29(b).\nThe Board did not receive any comments on proposed \u00a7\u2009210.26 and has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nSection 210.32\u2003Federal Reserve Bank Liability; Payment of Interest\nCurrent \u00a7\u2009210.32 sets out provisions that govern Federal Reserve Bank liability and payment of interest. Section 210.32(b) provides that compensation that is paid by Federal Reserve Banks in the form of interest shall be calculated in accordance with section 4A-506 of Article 4A. Under section 4A-506(a), the amount of interest may be determined by agreement between the sender and receiving bank or by funds-transfer system rule. If there is no such agreement, under section 4A-506(b), the amount of interest is based on the federal funds rate. The current commentary to \u00a7\u2009210.32(b) states that \u201cInterest would be calculated in accordance with the procedures specified in section 4A-506(b).\u201d The Board proposed to delete this statement and rearrange the commentary to clarify that interest can be calculated in accordance with both section 4A-506(a) and (b).\nThe Board did not receive any comments on the proposed commentary to \u00a7\u2009210.32. The Board has adopted these revisions as proposed.\nThe Board conducts a competitive impact analysis when it considers an operational or legal change, if that change would have a direct and material adverse effect on the ability of other service providers to compete with the Federal Reserve in providing similar services due to legal differences or due to the Federal Reserve's dominant market position deriving from such legal differences. All operational or legal changes having a substantial effect on payments-system participants will be subject to a competitive-impact analysis, even if competitive effects are not apparent on the face of the proposal. If such legal differences exist, the Board will assess whether the same objectives could be achieved by a modified proposal with lesser competitive impact or, if not, whether the benefits of the proposal (such as contributing to payments-system efficiency or integrity or other Board objectives) outweigh the materially adverse effect on competition.15\n15\u2009Federal Reserve Regulatory Service, 7-145.2.\nThe Board does not believe that the amendments to Regulation J will have a direct and material adverse effect on the ability of other service providers to compete effectively with the Reserve Banks in providing similar services due to legal differences. The final rule would align the provisions in Regulation J governing Reserve Bank services to the generally applicable provisions in Regulation CC. The final rule would not affect the competitive position of private-sector presenting banks vis-\u00e0-vis the Reserve Banks.\nV. The Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994\nThe Riegle Community Development Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 requires that agency regulations that impose additional reporting, disclosure, and other requirements on insured depository institutions take effect on the first calendar quarter following publication in final form, unless the agency determines for good cause that the regulation should become effective before such time. 12 U.S.C. 4802(b). Consistent with the Riegle Community Development Act, this final rule is effective on January 1, 2019.\nIn accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506; 5 CFR part 1320, appendix A.1), the Board may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The Board reviewed the final rule under the authority delegated to the Board by the OMB and determined that it contains no collections of information under the PRA.16 Accordingly, there is no paperwork burden associated with the rule.\n16\u2009See 44 U.S.C. 3502(3).\nAn initial regulatory flexibility analysis (IRFA) was included in the proposal in accordance with section 3(a) of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. (RFA). In the IRFA, the Board requested comment on the effect of the proposed rule on small entities and on any significant alternatives that would reduce the regulatory burden on small entities. The Board did not receive any comments. The RFA requires an agency to prepare a final regulatory flexibility analysis (FRFA) unless the agency certifies that the rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. In accordance with section 3(a) of the RFA, the Board has reviewed the final regulation. Based on its analysis, and for the reasons stated below, the Board certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.\nThe final rule will apply to all depository institutions regardless of their size.17 Pursuant to regulations issued by the Small Business Administration (13 CFR 121.201), a \u201csmall banking organization\u201d includes a depository institution with $550 million or less in total assets. Based on call report data, there are approximately 9,631 depository institutions that have total domestic assets of $550 million or less and thus are considered small entities for purposes of the RFA. The Board's final rule generally does not have any projected reporting, recordkeeping or other compliance requirements, as the revisions to Regulation J align the rights and obligations of sending banks, paying banks, and Federal Reserve Banks (Reserve Banks) with the Board's recent amendments to Regulation CC. The final rule's warranties and indemnities are similar to the warranties and indemnities that apply to paper and electronic checks under existing Regulation J and other law. The final rule does not require any bank to change the form in which it submits checks, nor do they require any bank to submit reports, maintain records, or provide notices or disclosures.\n17\u2009The final rule would not impose costs on any small entities other than depository institutions.\nWith respect to ECIs, provisions in the final rule would allow the Reserve Banks to require that senders provide certain warranties and indemnities. The Board recognizes these provisions may affect the creation and acceptance of ECIs by small entities. Neither Regulation J nor Regulation CC would prevent private-sector collecting banks from doing the same. In addition, the Board's final rule would not prevent small entities that desire to exchange ECIs from doing so by agreement using direct exchange relationships or other methods not involving the Reserve Banks. The Board believes the final rule will help to shift liability to parties better positioned to know whether an item is electronically created and that can either prevent the item from entering the check-collection system or assume the risk of sending it forward.\nFurthermore, the Board does not expect the amendments that remove references to cash and other specified forms of settlement to burden small entities, as the use of cash as settlement is rare and typically only done in emergency situations. The Board's final rule will allow use of cash as settlement in emergency situations by continuing to permit other forms of settlement to which the Reserve Banks agree. The Board does not expect the rule to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.\nPART 210\u2014COLLECTION OF CHECKS AND OTHER ITEMS BY FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS AND FUNDS TRANSFERS THROUGH FEDWIRE (REGULATION J) 1.

Item does not include a check that cannot be collected at par, or a payment order as defined in \u00a7\u2009210.26(i) and handled under subpart B of this part. The term also does not include an electronically-created item as defined in \u00a7\u2009229.2 of this chapter (Regulation CC).\n(m) Returned check means a cash item returned by a paying bank, including an electronic returned check as defined in \u00a7\u2009229.2 of this chapter (Regulation CC) and a notice of nonpayment in lieu of a returned check, whether or not a Reserve Bank handled the check for collection.\n(n) Sender means any of the following entities that sends an item to a Reserve Bank for forward collection\u2014\n(1) A depository institution, as defined in section 19(b) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 461(b));\n(2) A member bank, as defined in section 1 of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 221);\n(3) A clearing institution, defined as\u2014\n(i) An institution that is not a depository institution but that maintains with a Reserve Bank the balance referred to in the first paragraph of section 13 of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 342); or\n(ii) A corporation that maintains an account with a Reserve Bank in conformity with \u00a7\u2009211.4 of this chapter (Regulation K);\n(4) Another Reserve Bank;\n(5) An international organization for which a Reserve Bank is empowered to act as depositary or fiscal agent and maintains an account;\n(6) A foreign correspondent, defined as any of the following entities for which a Reserve Bank maintains an account: A foreign bank or banker, a foreign state as defined in section 25(b) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 632), or a foreign correspondent or agency referred to in section 14(e) of that act (12 U.S.C. 358); or\n(7) A branch or agency of a foreign bank maintaining reserves under section 7 of the International Banking Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 347d, 3105).\n(q) Fedwire Funds Service and Fedwire have the same meaning as that set forth in \u00a7\u2009210.26(e).\n(s) * * *\n(1) The terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in \u00a7\u2009229.2 of this chapter applicable to subpart C or D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC), as appropriate; and\n(a) General. Each Reserve Bank shall receive and handle items in accordance with this subpart, and shall issue operating circulars governing the details of its handling of items and other matters deemed appropriate by the Reserve Bank. The circulars may, among other things, classify cash items and noncash items, require separate sorts and letters, provide different closing times for the receipt of different classes or types of items, provide for instructions by an Administrative Reserve Bank to other Reserve Banks, set forth terms of services, and establish procedures for adjustments on a Reserve Bank's books, including amounts, waiver of expenses, and payment of compensation. As deemed appropriate by the Reserve Bank, the circulars may also require the sender to provide warranties and indemnities that only items and any noncash items the Reserve Banks have agreed to handle will be sent to the Reserve Banks. The Reserve Banks may provide to a subsequent collecting bank and to the paying bank any warranties and indemnities provided by the sender pursuant to this paragraph (a).\n5. In \u00a7\u2009210.4, revise paragraphs (a), (b)(1)(ii) and (iii), and (b)(3) to read as follows:\n\u00a7\u2009210.4 Sending items to Reserve Banks.\n(a) Sending of items. A sender's Administrative Reserve Bank may direct a sender other than a Reserve Bank to send any item to a specified Reserve Bank, whether or not the item is payable in the Reserve Bank's district.\n(ii) The initial sender's Administrative Reserve Bank (which is deemed to have accepted deposit of the item from the initial sender);\n(iii) The Reserve Bank that receives the item from the initial sender (if different from the initial sender's Administrative Reserve Bank); and\n(3) The identity and order of the parties under paragraph (b)(1) of this section determine the relationships and the rights and liabilities of the parties under this subpart, part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC), section 13(1) and section 16(13) of the Federal Reserve Act, and the Uniform Commercial Code. An initial sender's Administrative Reserve Bank that is deemed to accept an item for deposit or handle an item is also deemed to be a sender with respect to that item. The Reserve Banks that are deemed to handle an item are deemed to be agents or subagents of the owner of the item, as provided in \u00a7\u2009210.6(a).\n6. In \u00a7\u2009210.5, revise paragraphs (a), (c), (d), and (e) to read as follows:\n\u00a7\u2009210.5 Sender's agreement; recovery by Reserve Bank.\n(a) Sender's agreement. The warranties, indemnities, authorizations, and agreements made pursuant to this paragraph (a) may not be disclaimed and are made whether or not the item bears an indorsement of the sender. By sending an item to a Reserve Bank, the sender does all of the following.\n(1) Authorization to handle item. The sender authorizes the sender's Administrative Reserve Bank and any other Reserve Bank or collecting bank to which the item is sent to handle the item (and authorizes any Reserve Bank that handles settlement for the item to make accounting entries), subject to this subpart and to the Reserve Banks' operating circulars, and warrants its authority to give this authorization.\n(2) Warranties for all items. The sender warrants to each Reserve Bank handling the item that\u2014\n(i) The sender is a person entitled to enforce the item or authorized to obtain payment of the item on behalf of a person entitled to enforce the item;\n(ii) The item has not been altered; and\n(iii) The item bears all indorsements applied by parties that previously handled the item for forward collection or return.\n(3) Warranties and indemnities as set forth in Regulation CC and U.C.C. As applicable and unless otherwise provided, the sender of an item makes to each Reserve Bank that handles the item all the warranties and indemnities set forth in and subject to the terms of subparts C and D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC) and Article 4 of the U.C.C. The sender makes all the warranties set forth in and subject to the terms of 4-207 of the U.C.C. for an electronic check as if it were an item subject to the U.C.C.\n(4) Warranties and indemnities as set forth in Reserve Bank operating circulars. The sender makes any warranties and indemnities regarding the sending of items as set forth in an operating circular issued in accordance with \u00a7\u2009210.3(a).\n(5) Sender's liability to Reserve Bank. (i) Except as provided in paragraphs (a)(5)(ii) and (iii) of this section, the sender agrees to indemnify each Reserve Bank for any loss or expense sustained (including attorneys' fees and expenses of litigation) resulting from\u2014\n(A) The sender's lack of authority to make the warranty in paragraph (a)(1) of this section;\n(B) Any action taken by the Reserve Bank within the scope of its authority in handling the item; or\n(C) Any warranty or indemnity made by the Reserve Bank under \u00a7\u2009210.6(b), part 229 of this chapter, the U.C.C., or, regarding the sending of items, an operating circular issued in accordance with \u00a7\u2009210.3(a).\n(ii) A sender's liability for warranties and indemnities that the Reserve Bank makes for a substitute check, a paper or electronic representation thereof, or for an electronic check is subject to the following conditions and limitations\u2014\n(A) A sender of an original check shall not be liable under paragraph (a)(5)(i) of this section for any amount that the Reserve Bank pays under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter, or under \u00a7\u2009229.34 of this chapter with respect to an electronic check, absent the sender's agreement to the contrary; and\n(B) Nothing in this subpart alters the liability of a sender of a substitute check or paper or electronic representation of a substitute check under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter, or a sender of an electronic check under \u00a7\u2009229.34 of this chapter.\n(iii) A sender shall not be liable for any amount that the Reserve Bank pays under this subpart or part 229 of this chapter that is attributable to the Reserve Bank's own lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care.\n(c) Recovery by Reserve Bank. (1) A Reserve Bank that has handled an item may recover as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section if an action or proceeding is brought against (or if defense is tendered to) the Reserve Bank based on\u2014\n(i) The alleged failure of the sender to have the authority to make the warranty and agreement in paragraph (a)(1) of this section;\n(ii) Any action by the Reserve Bank within the scope of its authority in handling the item; or\n(iii) Any warranty or indemnity made by the Reserve Bank under \u00a7\u2009210.6(b), part 229 of this chapter, or the U.C.C.\n(2) Upon entry of a final judgment or decree in an action or proceeding described in paragraph (c)(1) of this section, a Reserve Bank may recover from the sender the amount of attorneys' fees and other expenses of litigation incurred, as well as any amount the Reserve Bank is required to pay because of the judgment or decree or the tender of defense, together with interest thereon.\n(d) Methods of recovery. (1) The Reserve Bank may recover the amount stated in paragraph (c) of this section by charging any account on its books that is maintained or used by the sender (or by charging a Reserve Bank sender), if\u2014\n(i) The Reserve Bank made seasonable written demand on the sender to assume defense of the action or proceeding; and\n(ii) The sender has not made any other arrangement for payment that is acceptable to the Reserve Bank.\n(2) The Reserve Bank is not responsible for defending the action or proceeding before using this method of recovery. A Reserve Bank that has been charged under this paragraph (d) may recover from its sender in the manner and under the circumstances set forth in this paragraph (d).\n(3) A Reserve Bank's failure to avail itself of the remedy provided in this paragraph (d) does not prejudice its enforcement in any other manner of the indemnity agreement referred to in paragraph (a)(5) of this section.\n(e) Security interest. When a sender sends an item to a Reserve Bank, the sender and any prior collecting bank grant to the sender's Administrative Reserve Bank a security interest in all of their respective assets in the possession of, or held for the account of, any Reserve Bank to secure their respective obligations due or to become due to the Administrative Reserve Bank under this subpart or subpart C or D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC). The security interest attaches when a warranty is breached or any other obligation to the Reserve Bank is incurred. If the Reserve Bank, in its sole discretion, deems itself insecure and gives notice thereof to the sender or prior collecting bank, or if the sender or prior collecting bank suspends payments or is closed, the Reserve Bank may take any action authorized by law to recover the amount of an obligation, including, but not limited to, the exercise of rights of set off, the realization on any available collateral, and any other rights it may have as a creditor under applicable law.\n7. In \u00a7\u2009210.6: a. Remove the word \u201cand\u201d at the end of paragraph (a)(2)(ii). b. Revise paragraph (a)(2)(iii). c. Add paragraph (a)(2)(iv). d. Revise paragraphs (b) and (c). e. Remove paragraph (d).\n\u00a7\u2009210.6 Status, warranties, and liability of Reserve Bank.\n(iii) As provided in an operating circular issued in accordance with \u00a7\u2009210.3(a) regarding the sending of items; and\n(iv) As provided in subparts C and D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC).\n(b) Warranties and liability. The following provisions apply when a Reserve Bank presents or sends an item.\n(1) Warranties for all items. The Reserve Bank warrants to a subsequent collecting bank and to the paying bank and any other payor that\u2014\n(i) The Reserve Bank is a person entitled to enforce the item (or is authorized to obtain payment of the item on behalf of a person that is either entitled to enforce the item or authorized to obtain payment on behalf of a person entitled to enforce the item);\n(2) Warranties and indemnities as set forth in Reserve Bank operating circulars. The Reserve Bank makes any warranties and indemnities regarding the sending of items as set forth in an operating circular issued in accordance with \u00a7\u2009210.3(a).\n(3) Warranties and indemnities as set forth in Regulation CC and U.C.C. As applicable and unless otherwise provided, the Reserve Bank makes all the warranties and indemnities set forth in and subject to the terms of subparts C and D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC) and Article 4 of the U.C.C. The Reserve Bank makes all the warranties set forth in and subject to the terms of 4-207 of the U.C.C. for an electronic check as if it were an item subject to the U.C.C.\n(4) Indemnity for substitute check created from an electronic check. (i) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(4)(ii) of this section, the Reserve Bank shall indemnify the bank to which it transfers or presents an electronic check (the recipient bank) for the amount of any losses that the recipient bank incurs under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC) for an indemnity that the recipient bank was required to make under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter in connection with a substitute check later created from the electronic check.\n(ii) The Reserve Bank shall not be liable under paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this section for any amount that the recipient bank pays under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter that is attributable to the lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care of the recipient bank or a person that handled the item, in any form, after the recipient bank.\n(c) Time for commencing action against Reserve Bank. (1) A claim against a Reserve Bank for lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care shall be barred unless the action on the claim is commenced within two years after the claim accrues. Such a claim accrues on the date when a Reserve Bank's alleged failure to exercise ordinary care or to act in good faith first results in damages to the claimant.\n(2) A claim that arises under paragraph (b)(3) of this section shall be barred unless the action on the claim is commenced within one year after the claim accrues. Such a claim accrues as of the date on which the claimant first learns, or by which the claimant reasonably should have learned, of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the claim.\n(3) This paragraph (c) does not alter the time limit for claims under \u00a7\u2009229.38(g) of this chapter (which include claims for breach of warranty under \u00a7\u2009229.34 of this chapter) or subpart D of part 229 of this chapter.\n8. In \u00a7\u2009210.7, revise paragraphs (a)(1) and (b)(2) to read as follows:\n\u00a7\u2009210.7 Presenting items for payment.\n(1) A Reserve Bank or a subsequent collecting bank may present an item for payment or send the item for presentment and payment; and\n(2) In accordance with \u00a7\u2009229.36 of this chapter (Regulation CC);\n9. In \u00a7\u2009210.9, revise paragraphs (b)(2)(i), (b)(3)(i)(A) and (B), (b)(4) through (6), and (c) through (e) and remove paragraph (f) to read as follows:\n\u00a7\u2009210.9 Settlement and payment.\n(i) On the day a paying bank receives a cash item from a Reserve Bank, it shall settle for the item so that the proceeds of the settlement are available to its Administrative Reserve Bank, or return the item, by the latest of\u2014\n(A) The next clock hour or clock half-hour that is at least one half-hour after the paying bank receives the item;\n(B) 8:30 a.m. eastern time; or\n(C) Such later time as provided in the Reserve Banks' operating circulars.\n(A) On that day, settle for the item so that the proceeds of the settlement are available to its Administrative Reserve Bank, or return the item, by the latest of the next clock hour or clock half-hour that is at least one half-hour after it ordinarily would have received the item, 8:30 a.m. eastern time, or such later time as provided in the Reserve Banks' operating circulars; or\n(B) On the next day that is a banking day for both the paying bank and the Reserve Bank, settle for the item so that the proceeds of the settlement are available to its Administrative Reserve Bank by 8:30 a.m. eastern time on that day or such later time as provided in the Reserve Banks' operating circulars; and compensate the Reserve Bank for the value of the float associated with the item in accordance with procedures provided in the Reserve Bank's operating circular.\n(4) Reserve Bank closed. If a paying bank receives a cash item from a Reserve Bank on a banking day that is not a banking day for the Reserve Bank, the paying bank shall\u2014\n(i) Settle for the item so that the proceeds of the settlement are available to its Administrative Reserve Bank by the close of the Fedwire Funds Service on the Reserve Bank's next banking day, or return the item by midnight of the day it receives the item (if the paying bank fails to settle for or return a cash item in accordance with this paragraph (b)(4)(i), it shall become accountable for the amount of the item as of the close of its banking day on the day it receives the item); and\n(ii) Settle for the item so that the proceeds of the settlement are available to its Administrative Reserve Bank by 8:30 a.m. eastern time on the Reserve Bank's next banking day or such later time as provided in the Reserve Bank's operating circular, or return the item by midnight of the day it receives the item. If the paying bank fails to settle for or return a cash item in accordance with this paragraph (b)(4)(ii), it shall be subject to any applicable overdraft charges. Settlement under this paragraph (b)(4)(ii) satisfies the settlement requirements of paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this section.\n(5) Manner of settlement. Settlement with a Reserve Bank under paragraphs (b)(1) through (4) of this section shall be made by debit to an account on the Reserve Bank's books or other form of settlement to which the Reserve Bank agrees, except that the Reserve Bank may, in its discretion, obtain settlement by charging the paying bank's account. A paying bank may not set off against the amount of a settlement under this section the amount of a claim with respect to another cash item, cash letter, or other claim under \u00a7\u2009229.34 of this chapter (Regulation CC) or other law.\n(6) Notice in lieu of return. If a cash item is unavailable for return, the paying bank may send a notice in lieu of return as provided in \u00a7\u2009229.31(f) of this chapter (Regulation CC).\n(c) Noncash items. A Reserve Bank may require the paying or collecting bank to which it has presented or sent a noncash item to pay for the item by a debit to an account maintained or used by the paying or collecting bank on the Reserve Bank's books or by any other form of settlement acceptable to the Reserve Bank.\n(d) Nonbank payor. A Reserve Bank may require a nonbank payor to which it has presented an item to pay for it by debit to an account on the Reserve Bank's books or other form of settlement acceptable to the Reserve Bank.\n(e) Liability of Reserve Bank. Except as set forth in \u00a7\u2009229.35(b) of this chapter (Regulation CC), a Reserve Bank shall not be liable for the failure of a collecting bank, paying bank, or nonbank payor to pay for an item, or for any loss resulting from the Reserve Bank's acceptance of any form of payment other than cash authorized in paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this section. A Reserve Bank that acts in good faith and exercises ordinary care shall not be liable for the nonpayment of, or failure to realize upon, any non-cash form of payment that it accepts under paragraphs (b), (c), and (d) of this section.\n\u00a7\u2009210.10 Time schedule and availability of credits for cash items and returned checks.\n(a) Each Reserve Bank shall publish a time schedule indicating when the amount of any cash item or returned check received by it is counted toward the balance maintained to satisfy a reserve balance requirement for purposes of part 204 of this chapter (Regulation D) and becomes available for use by the sender or paying or returning bank. The Reserve Bank that holds the settlement account shall give either immediate or deferred credit to a sender, a paying bank, or a returning bank (other than a foreign correspondent) in accordance with the time schedule of the receiving Reserve Bank. A Reserve Bank ordinarily gives credit to a foreign correspondent only when the Reserve Bank receives payment of the item in actually and finally collected funds, but, in its discretion, a Reserve Bank may give immediate or deferred credit in accordance with its time schedule.\n11. In \u00a7\u2009210.11, revise paragraph (b) and remove paragraph (c) to read as follows:\n\u00a7\u2009210.11 Availability of proceeds of noncash items; time schedule.\n(b) Time schedule. A Reserve Bank may give credit for the proceeds of a noncash item subject to payment in actually and finally collected funds in accordance with a published time schedule. The time schedule shall indicate when the proceeds of the noncash item will be counted toward the balance maintained to satisfy a reserve balance requirement for purposes of part 204 of this chapter (Regulation D) and become available for use by the sender. A Reserve Bank may, however, refuse at any time to permit the use of credit given by it for a noncash item for which the Reserve Bank has not yet received payment in actually and finally collected funds.\n12. In \u00a7\u2009210.12, revise paragraphs (a) and (c) through (g) to read as follows:\n\u00a7\u2009210.12 Return of cash items and handling of returned checks.\n(a) Return of items\u2014(1) Return of cash items handled by Reserve Banks. A paying bank that receives a cash item from a Reserve Bank, other than for immediate payment over the counter, and that settles for the item as provided in \u00a7\u2009210.9(b), may, before it has finally paid the item, return the item to any Reserve Bank (unless its Administrative Reserve Bank directs it to return the item to a specific Reserve Bank) in accordance with subpart C of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC), the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Reserve Banks' operating circulars. A paying bank that receives a cash item from a Reserve Bank also may return the item prior to settlement, in accordance with \u00a7\u2009210.9(b) and the Reserve Banks' operating circulars. The rules or practices of a clearinghouse through which the item was presented, or a special collection agreement under which the item was presented, may not extend these return times, but may provide for a shorter return time.\n(2) Return of checks not handled by Reserve Banks. A paying bank that receives a check, other than from a Reserve Bank, and that determines not to pay the check, may send the returned check to any Reserve Bank (unless its Administrative Reserve Bank directs it to send the returned check to a specific Reserve Bank) in accordance with subpart C of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC), the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Reserve Banks' operating circulars. A returning bank may send a returned check to any Reserve Bank (unless its Administrative Reserve Bank directs it to send the returned check to a specific Reserve Bank) in accordance with subpart C of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC), the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Reserve Banks' operating circulars.\n(c) Paying bank's and returning bank's agreement. The warranties, indemnities, authorizations, and agreements made pursuant to this paragraph (c) may not be disclaimed and are made whether or not the returned check bears an indorsement of the paying bank or returning bank. By sending a returned check to a Reserve Bank, the paying bank or returning bank does all of the following.\n(1) Authorization to handle returned check. The paying bank or returning bank authorizes the paying bank's or returning bank's Administrative Reserve Bank, and any other Reserve Bank or returning bank to which the returned check is sent, to handle the returned check (and authorizes any Reserve Bank that handles settlement for the returned check to make accounting entries) subject to this subpart and to the Reserve Banks' operating circulars.\n(2) Warranties for all returned checks. The paying bank or returning bank warrants to each Reserve Bank handling a returned check that the returned check bears all indorsements applied by parties that previously handled the returned check for forward collection or return.\n(3) Warranties and indemnities as set forth in Regulation CC. As applicable and unless otherwise provided, a paying bank or returning bank makes to each Reserve Bank that handles the returned check all the warranties and indemnities set forth in and subject to the terms of subparts C and D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC).\n(4) Paying bank or returning bank's liability to Reserve Bank. (i) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(4)(ii) and (iii) of this section, a paying bank or returning bank agrees to indemnify each Reserve Bank for any loss or expense (including attorneys' fees and expenses of litigation) resulting from\u2014\n(A) The paying or returning bank's lack of authority to give the authorization in paragraph (c)(1) of this section;\n(B) Any action taken by a Reserve Bank within the scope of its authority in handling the returned check; or\n(C) Any warranty or indemnity made by the Reserve Bank under paragraph (e) of this section or part 229 of this chapter.\n(ii) A paying bank's or returning bank's liability for warranties and indemnities that a Reserve Bank makes for a returned check that is a substitute check, a paper or electronic representation thereof, or an electronic returned check is subject to the following conditions and limitations\u2014\n(A) A paying bank or returning bank that sent an original returned check shall not be liable for any amount that a Reserve Bank pays under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter, or under \u00a7\u2009229.34 of this chapter with respect to an electronic returned check, absent the paying bank's or returning bank's agreement to the contrary; and\n(B) Nothing in this subpart alters the liability under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter of a paying bank or returning bank that sent a substitute check or a paper or electronic representation of a substitute check or under \u00a7\u2009229.34 of this chapter of a paying bank or returning bank that sent an electronic returned check; and\n(iii) A paying bank or returning bank shall not be liable for any amount that the Reserve Bank pays under this subpart or part 229 of this chapter that is attributable to the Reserve Bank's own lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care.\n(d) Paying bank or returning bank's liability under other law. Nothing in paragraph (c) of this section limits any warranty or indemnity by a returning bank or paying bank (or a person that handled an item prior to that bank) arising under state law or regulation (such as the U.C.C.), other federal law or regulation (such as part 229 of this chapter), or an agreement with a Reserve Bank.\n(e) Warranties by and liability of Reserve Bank\u2014(1) Warranties and indemnities. The following provisions apply when a Reserve Bank handles a returned check under this subpart.\n(i) Warranties for all items. The Reserve Bank warrants to the bank to which it sends the returned check that the returned check bears all indorsements applied by parties that previously handled the returned check for forward collection or return.\n(ii) Warranties and indemnities as set forth in Regulation CC. As applicable and unless otherwise provided, the Reserve Bank makes all the warranties and indemnities set forth in and subject to the terms of subparts C and D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC).\n(2) Indemnity for substitute check created from electronic returned check. (i) Except as provided in paragraph (e)(2)(ii) of this section, the Reserve Bank shall indemnify the bank to which it transfers or presents an electronic returned check (the recipient bank) for the amount of any losses that the recipient bank incurs under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC) for an indemnity that the recipient bank was required to make under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter in connection with a substitute check later created from the electronic returned check.\n(ii) The Reserve Bank shall not be liable under paragraph (e)(2)(i) of this section for any amount that the recipient bank pays under subpart D of part 229 of this chapter that is attributable to the lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care of the recipient bank or a person that handled the item, in any form, after the recipient bank.\n(3) Liability of Reserve Bank. A Reserve Bank shall not have or assume any other liability to any person except\u2014\n(i) For the Reserve Bank's own lack of good faith or failure to exercise ordinary care;\n(ii) As provided in this paragraph (e); and\n(iii) As provided in subparts C and D of part 229 of this chapter (Regulation CC).\n(f) Recovery by Reserve Bank. (1) A Reserve Bank that has handled a returned check may recover as provided in paragraph (f)(2) of this section if an action or proceeding is brought against (or if defense is tendered to) the Reserve Bank based on\u2014\n(i) The alleged failure of the paying bank or returning bank to have the authority to give the authorization in paragraph (c)(1) of this section;\n(ii) Any action by the Reserve Bank within the scope of its authority in handling the returned check; or\n(iii) Any warranty or indemnity made by the Reserve Bank under paragraph (e) of this section or part 229 of this chapter; and\n(2) Upon entry of a final judgment or decree in an action or proceeding described in paragraph (f)(1) of this section, a Reserve Bank may recover from the paying bank or returning bank the amount of attorneys' fees and other expenses of litigation incurred, as well as any amount the Reserve Bank is required to pay because of the judgment or decree or the tender of defense, together with interest thereon.\n(g) Methods of recovery. (1) The Reserve Bank may recover the amount stated in paragraph (f) of this section by charging any account on its books that is maintained or used by the paying bank or returning bank (or by charging another returning Reserve Bank), if\u2014\n(i) The Reserve Bank made seasonable written demand on the paying bank or returning bank to assume defense of the action or proceeding; and\n(ii) The paying bank or returning bank has not made any other arrangement for payment that is acceptable to the Reserve Bank.\n(2) The Reserve Bank is not responsible for defending the action or proceeding before using this method of recovery. A Reserve Bank that has been charged under this paragraph (g) may recover from the paying or returning bank in the manner and under the circumstances set forth in this paragraph (g).\n(3) A Reserve Bank's failure to avail itself of the remedy provided in this paragraph (g) does not prejudice its enforcement in any other manner of the indemnity agreement referred to in paragraph (c)(4) of this section.\nSubpart B\u2014Funds Transfers Through Fedwire 13. In \u00a7\u2009210.25: a. In paragraphs (a) and (b)(3), remove the word \u201cFedwire\u201d and add in its place the words \u201cthe Fedwire Funds Service\u201d. b. Revise the introductory text of paragraph (b)(2). c. Add paragraph (e).\n\u00a7\u2009210.25 Authority, purpose, and scope.\n(2) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this section, including Article 4A as set forth in appendix B to this subpart, and operating circulars of the Reserve Banks issued in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section, this subpart governs the rights and obligations of:\n(e) Financial messaging standards. Financial messaging standards (e.g., ISO 20022), including the financial messaging components, elements, technical documentation, tags, and terminology used to implement those standards, do not confer or connote legal status or responsibilities. This subpart, including Article 4A as set forth in appendix B to this subpart, and the operating circulars of the Reserve Banks issued in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section govern the rights and obligations of parties to funds transfers sent through the Fedwire Funds Service as provided in paragraph (b) of this section. To the extent there is any inconsistency between a financial messaging standard adopted by the Fedwire Funds Service and this subpart, this subpart shall prevail.\n(e) Fedwire Funds Service and Fedwire means the funds-transfer system owned and operated by the Federal Reserve Banks that is used primarily for the transmission and settlement of payment orders governed by this subpart. Fedwire does not include the system for making automated clearing house transfers.\n15. In \u00a7\u2009210.29(b), remove the word \u201cFedwire\u201d and add in its place the words \u201cthe Fedwire Funds Service\u201d. 16. In appendix A to subpart B: a. Under \u201cSection 210.25\u2014Authority, Purpose, and Scope\u201d, add paragraph (e). b. Under \u201cSection 210.32\u2014Federal Reserve Bank Liability; Payment of Interest\u201d, revise paragraph (b).\nAppendix A to Subpart B of Part 210\u2014Commentary Section 210.25\u2014Authority, Purpose, and Scope\n(e) Financial messaging standards. This paragraph makes clear that financial messaging standards, including the financial messaging components, elements, technical documentation, tags, and terminology used to implement those standards, do not confer or connote legal status or responsibilities. Instead, subpart B of this part and Federal Reserve Bank operating circulars govern the rights and obligations of parties to funds transfers sent through the Fedwire Funds Service as provided in \u00a7\u2009210.25(b). Thus, to the extent there is any inconsistency between a financial messaging standard adopted by the Fedwire Funds Service and subpart B of this part, subpart B of this part, including Article 4A as adopted in appendix B to subpart B of this part, will prevail. In the ISO 20022 financial messaging standard, for example, the term agent is used to refer to a variety of bank parties to a funds transfer (e.g., debtor agent, creditor agent, intermediary agent). Notwithstanding use of that term in the standard and in message tags, such banks are not the agents of any party to a funds transfer and owe no duty to any other party to such a funds transfer except as provided in subpart B of this part (including Article 4A) or by express agreement. The ISO 20022 financial messaging standard also permits information to be carried in a funds-transfer message regarding persons that are not parties to that funds transfer (e.g., ultimate debtor, ultimate creditor, initiating party) for regulatory, compliance, remittance, or other purposes. An \u201cultimate debtor\u201d is not an \u201coriginator\u201d as defined in Article 4A. The relationship between the ultimate debtor and the originator (what the ISO 20022 standard calls the \u201cdebtor\u201d) is determined by law other than Article 4A.\nSection 210.32\u2014Federal Reserve Bank Liability; Payment of Interest\n(b) Payment of interest. (1) Under article 4A, a Federal Reserve Bank may be required to pay compensation in the form of interest to another party in connection with its handling of a funds transfer. For example, payment of compensation in the form of interest is required in certain situations pursuant to sections 4A-204 (relating to refund of payment and duty of customer to report with respect to unauthorized payment order), 4A-209 (relating to acceptance of payment order), 4A-210 (relating to rejection of payment order), 4A-304 (relating to duty of sender to report erroneously executed payment order), 4A-305 (relating to liability for late or improper execution or failure to execute a payment order), 4A-402 (relating to obligation of sender to pay receiving bank), and 4A-404 (relating to obligation of beneficiary's bank to pay and give notice to beneficiary).\n(2) Section 210.32(b) requires Federal Reserve Banks to provide compensation through an explicit interest payment. Under section 4A-506(a), the amount of such interest may be determined by agreement between the sender and receiving bank or by funds-transfer system rule. If there is no such agreement, under section 4A-506(b), the amount of interest is based on the federal funds rate. Similarly, compensation in the form of explicit interest will be paid to government senders, receiving banks, or beneficiaries described in \u00a7\u2009210.25(d) if they are entitled to interest under this subpart. A Federal Reserve Bank may also, in its discretion, pay explicit interest directly to a remote party to a Fedwire funds transfer that is entitled to interest, rather than providing compensation to its direct sender or receiving bank.\n(3) If a bank that received an explicit interest payment is not the party entitled to interest compensation under article 4A, the bank must pass the benefit of the explicit interest payment made to it to the party that is entitled to compensation in the form of interest from a Federal Reserve Bank. The benefit may be passed on either in the form of a direct payment of interest or in the form of a compensating balance, if the party entitled to interest agrees to accept the other form of compensation, and the value of the compensating balance is at least equivalent to the value of the explicit interest that otherwise would have been provided.\nBy order of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, November 14, 2018.\nAnn Misback, Secretary of the Board.

This AD was prompted by a determination that new and more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.\nFor service information identified in this final rule, contact Dassault Falcon Jet Corporation, Teterboro Airport, P.O.

It is also available on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-0642.\nWe issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 10, 2018 (83 FR 39626). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations are necessary. The NPRM proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations.\nWe are issuing this AD to address, among other things, fatigue cracking and damage in principal structural elements; such fatigue cracking and damage could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.\nThe European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2018-0078, dated April 9, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or \u201cthe MCAI\u201d), to correct an unsafe condition for all Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes. The MCAI states:\nThe airworthiness limitations and certification maintenance instructions for the Dassault Falcon 10 aeroplanes, which are approved by EASA, are currently defined and published in the Dassault Falcon 10 [Airplane Maintenance Manual] AMM, Chapter 5-40. These instructions have been identified as mandatory for continued airworthiness.\nFailure to accomplish these instructions could result in an unsafe condition [fatigue cracking and damage in principal structural elements, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.]\nPreviously, EASA issued AD 2008-0221 to require accomplishment of the maintenance tasks, and implementation of the airworthiness limitations, as specified in the Dassault Falcon 10 AMM, Chapter 5-40, at Revision 8.\nSince that [EASA] AD was issued, Dassault issued the [Airworthiness Limitations Section] ALS, which introduces new and more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations.\nFor the reason described above, this [EASA] AD takes over the requirements for Falcon 10 aeroplanes from EASA AD 2008-0221, and requires accomplishment of the actions specified in the ALS.\nDassault has issued Section 5-40-00, Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 13, dated July 2017, of the Dassault Falcon 10 Maintenance Manual. This service information describes repetitive mandatory maintenance tasks. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.\nWe have determined that revising the existing maintenance or inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although we recognize that this number may vary from operator to operator. In the past, we have estimated that this action takes 1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), we have determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate. Therefore, we estimate the total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours \u00d7 $85 per work-hour).\nThis AD applies to all Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 10 airplanes, certificated in any category.\nThis AD was prompted by a determination that new and more restrictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations are necessary. We are issuing this AD to address, among other things, fatigue cracking and damage in principal structural elements; such fatigue cracking and damage could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.\nWithin 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate Section 5-40-00, Airworthiness Limitations, Revision 13, dated July 2017, of the Dassault Falcon 10 Maintenance Manual (\u201cSection 5-40-00\u201d). The initial compliance time for accomplishing the actions is at the applicable time specified in Section 5-40-00; or within 90 days after the effective date of this AD; whichever occurs later.\n(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate.

(Type Certificate Previously Held by Finmeccanica S.p.A. and AgustaWestland S.p.A.) Helicopters AGENCY:\nWe are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Leonardo S.p.A. (Leonardo) Model AW189 helicopters. This AD requires replacing the tail plane lower fitting with an improved tail plane lower fitting. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks on the tail plane fittings of Model AW189 helicopters. The actions of this AD are intended to correct an unsafe condition on these products.\nFor service information identified in this final rule, contact Leonardo S.p.A.

(now Leonardo) Model AW189 helicopters with a tail plane lower fitting part number (P/N) 8G5350A07051 installed. The NPRM proposed to require replacing the tail plane lower fitting with an improved tail plane lower fitting. The proposed requirements were intended to prevent a crack on a tail plane fitting, which could result in failure of the tail plane fitting and loss of helicopter control.\nThe NPRM was prompted by AD No. 2016-0161, dated August 8, 2016 (EASA AD 2016-0161), issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, to correct an unsafe condition for Leonardo Model AW189 helicopters. EASA advises that some cracks have been reported in-service on the tail plane fitting of AW189 helicopters following an onset of abnormal play. According to EASA, this condition, if not detected and corrected, could jeopardize structural integrity of the helicopter. EASA further advises that Leonardo developed a tail plane lower fitting with an improved design (P/N 8G0000P00511). Accordingly, EASA AD 2016-0161 requires repetitive inspections of the tail plane lower fitting assembly until the improved tail plane lower fitting is installed.\nWhen the NPRM was issued, the FAA was in the process of updating AgustaWestland's name changes to Finmeccanica S.p.A. and then to Leonardo Helicopters on its FAA type certificate; therefore the NPRM specified AgustaWestland as the type certificate holder. Because this name change is now effective, this AD applies to Leonardo helicopters.\nWe gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this AD, but we received no comments on the NPRM.\nThese helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of Italy and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with Italy, EASA, its technical representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all information provided by Italy and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these same type designs and that air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD requirements as proposed except for the name change from AgustaWestland to Leonardo. We have also updated the estimated costs to reflect that this AD affects 4 helicopters of U.S. Registry rather than 2 helicopters. These changes are consistent with the intent of the proposals in the NPRM (83 FR 23827, May 23, 2018) and will not increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of this AD.\nThe EASA AD requires inspecting the tail plane lower fitting for play within 50 flight hours and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 25 flight hours. If a crack or other damage exists, the EASA AD requires the improved tail plane lower fitting be installed within 10 flight hours. If no crack exists, the EASA AD requires that the improved tail plane lower fitting be installed within 200 flight hours or 2 months, whichever occurs first. This AD does not require inspections and requires installing the improved tail plane lower fitting within 50 hours time-in-service.\nWe reviewed Leonardo Helicopters Bollettino Tecnico (BT) No. 189-038, Revision B, dated October 13, 2016, which specifies repetitively inspecting the tail plane assembly for a crack.\nWe also reviewed BT No. 189-070, Revision A, dated October 13, 2016, which provides instructions for replacing the tail plane lower fitting with the improved tail plane lower fitting retromodification P/N 8G0000P00511.\nWe estimate that this AD affects 4 helicopters of U.S. Registry and that labor costs average $85 a work-hour. Based on these estimates, we expect that replacing the tail plane lower fitting with an improved tail plane lower fitting requires 64 work-hours and parts cost $15,424 for a total cost of $20,864 per helicopter and $83,456 for the U.S. fleet.\n2.

The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 3, 2018 (83 FR 38086). The NPRM was prompted by LCF cracking of the fuel manifold leading to an engine fire. The NPRM proposed to require removal from service of certain fuel manifolds at the next engine shop visit and their replacement with parts eligible for installation. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.\nRevision to Related Service Information\nGE published GEnx-2B Service Bulletin (SB) 73-0038 R03, dated August 17, 2018, to provide operators with instructions for replacing the lower fuel manifold system when in the intermixed configuration. This SB eliminates the need to replace the top main and lower fuel manifolds in the shop.\nWe gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing this final rule. We have considered the comment received. The Boeing Company supported the NPRM.\nWe reviewed GE GEnx-2B SB 73-0038 R02, dated November 19, 2015, and GEnx-2B SB 73-0038 R03, dated August 17, 2018. GE GEnx-2B SB 73-0038 R02, dated November 19, 2015 describes procedures for removing and replacing the fuel manifold system with parts eligible for installation. GE GEnx-2B SB 73-0038 R03, dated August 17, 2018 describes procedures for replacing the fuel manifold system when in the intermixed configuration.\nWe estimate that this AD affects two engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.

This AD requires removal of affected HPT cases from service and their replacement with a part eligible for installation. This AD was prompted by the discovery of a quality escape at a manufacturing facility involving unapproved welds on HPT cases. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.\nFor service information identified in this final rule, contact CFM International Inc., Aviation Operations Center, 1 Neumann Way, M/D Room 285, Cincinnati, OH 45125; phone: 877-432-3272; fax: 877-432-3329; email: [email protected].

These welds were not reviewed or approved by either CFM or the FAA. CFM's review of manufacturing records determined that these parts include HPT cases installed on CFM LEAP-1B turbofan engines. These HPT cases are life limited. The unapproved repairs reduced the material capability of these cases which requires their removal prior to reaching their published Airworthiness Limitation Section life limit. This condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of the HPT case, engine fire, and damage to the airplane. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.\nWe reviewed CFM Service Bulletin (SB) LEAP-1B-72-00-0193-01A-930A-D, Issue 003, dated November 5, 2018. The SB describes procedures for removing the affected HPT cases from the engine. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.\nThis AD requires removal of the affected HPT cases from service and their replacement with a part eligible for installation.\nAn unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies waiving notice and comment prior to the adoption of this rule because the compliance time for the required action is shorter than the time necessary for the public to comment and for us to publish the final rule. Certain HPTs cases must be removed within 200 cycles after the effective date of this AD to ensure they do not fail. Therefore, we find good cause that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reason stated above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.\nWe estimate that this AD affects two engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.\nRemove HPT case and FPI of forward flange 1000 work-hour \u00d7 $85 per hour = $85,000 $179,400 $264,400 $528,800\nReplace combustion case assembly 10 work-hours \u00d7 $85 per hour = $850 $558,800 $559,650 Authority for This Rulemaking\n2.

We may use one or more of these priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2019 and later years. We take this action to support the replication and expansion of high-quality charter schools by charter management organizations (CMOs) throughout the Nation, particularly those that serve educationally disadvantaged students, such as students who are individuals from low-income families, students with disabilities, and English learners; and students who traditionally have been underserved by charter schools, such as Native American students and students in rural communities.\nThese priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are effective November 30, 2018.\nAllison Holte, U.S. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue SW, Room 4W243, Washington, DC 20202. Telephone: (202) 205-7726.\nSummary of the Major Provisions of This Regulatory Action: We announce these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria to achieve two main goals.\nFirst, we seek to continue to use funds under this program to support high-quality applications from highly qualified applicants. To that end, we announce priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria that encourage or require applicants to describe, for example: Past successes working with academically poor-performing public schools;\u20091 experience operating or managing multiple charter schools; plans to expand their reach into new and diverse communities; logical connections between their proposed projects and intended outcomes for the students they propose to serve; and plans to evaluate the extent to which their proposed projects, if funded, yield intended outcomes.\n1\u2009Italicized terms are defined in the Final Definitions section of this document.\nSecond, these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are designed to increase the likelihood that CMO grants support expanded high-quality educational opportunities for educationally disadvantaged students, as well as students who traditionally have been underserved by charter schools, such as Native American students and students in rural communities. Specifically, among other things, the final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria enable the Department to give priority to applications that propose to: Replicate or expand high-quality charter schools with an intentional focus on recruiting students from racially and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds, and maintaining racially and socioeconomically diverse student bodies, consistent with nondiscrimination requirements contained in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws; serve a meaningful proportion of students who are individuals from low-income families; and replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that serve high school students, students in rural communities, and Native American students. Further, in order to meet the final requirements announced in this document, CMO applicants must describe how the schools they intend to replicate or expand would recruit and enroll educationally disadvantaged students and support such students in mastering State academic standards.\nCosts and Benefits: The Department of Education (Department) believes that the benefits of this regulatory action outweigh any associated costs, which we believe would be minimal. While this action imposes cost-bearing requirements on participating CMOs, we expect that applicants will include requests for funds to cover such costs in their proposed project budgets. We believe this regulatory action strengthens accountability for the use of Federal funds by helping to ensure that the Department awards CSP grants to CMOs that are most capable of expanding the number of high-quality charter schools available to our Nation's students. Please refer to the Regulatory Impact Analysis in this document for a more detailed discussion of costs and benefits.\nProgram Authority: Title IV, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA).\nWe published a notice of proposed priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria for this program in the Federal Register on July 27, 2018 (83 FR 35571) (NPP). The NPP contained background information and our reasons for proposing the particular priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria.\nThere are several significant differences between the NPP and this notice of final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria (NFP). First, we have revised the title and focus of Priority 2 (which was proposed as \u201cSchool Improvement through Restart Efforts\u201d) to clarify that applicants addressing the priority should be focused on reopening, and not restarting, academically low-performing public schools as charter schools. In addition, we have revised Priority 2 to require applicants to address each subpart in order to meet the priority. Second, we have revised Priority 3\u2014High School Students to clarify that there is a broad range of postsecondary education options for which high-quality charter schools that serve high school students may prepare their students, including certain one-year training programs as well as two- and four-year colleges and universities. We have also revised Priority 3 to specify that high school students include educationally disadvantaged students. In addition, we have revised Priority 4\u2014Low-Income Demographic to require applicants receiving priority points to demonstrate that they will maintain a poverty threshold that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the level specified in the grant application for the entire grant period. Further, we have revised Priority 7 and related definitions to include students who are Native Hawaiian or Native American Pacific Islander, as well as students who are Indians (including Alaska Natives), and to clarify that applicants must meaningfully collaborate with community leaders. Finally, we have revised Selection Criterion (b)\u2014Significance of Contribution in Assisting Educationally Disadvantaged Students to emphasize students with disabilities\u20092 and English learners. We discuss these changes in detail in the Analysis of Comments and Changes section of this document.\n2\u2009For purposes of these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria, \u201cstudents with disabilities\u201d or \u201cstudent with a disability\u201d has the same meaning as \u201cchildren with disabilities\u201d or \u201cchild with a disability,\u201d respectively, as defined in section 8101(4) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA). Under section 8101(4), \u201cchild with a disability\u201d has the same meaning given that term in section 602 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.\nPublic Comment: In response to our invitation in the NPP, 36 parties submitted comments on the proposed priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria.\nWe group major issues according to subject. Generally, we do not address technical and other minor changes. In addition, we do not address comments that raised concerns not directly related to the proposed priorities, requirements, definitions, or selection criteria.\nAnalysis of Comments and Changes: An analysis of the comments and changes in the priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria since publication of the NPP follows.\nComments: One commenter suggested that we include a focus on students from military families, noting that military families may not be able to afford charter school tuition.\nDiscussion: First, we note that charter schools are public schools and, by definition, may not charge tuition (ESEA section 4310(2)). Nonetheless, we agree that military- and veteran-connected students often face unique challenges. On March 2, 2018, the Department published in the Federal Register (83 FR 9096) the Secretary's Final Supplemental Priorities and Definitions for Discretionary Grant Programs (Supplemental Priorities), which are available for use in all of the Department's discretionary grant programs, including the CMO grant program. In recognition of the unique challenges faced by military families, Priority 11 in the Supplemental Priorities focuses on ensuring that service members, veterans, and their families have access to high-quality educational options. In any fiscal year in which the Department awards new grants under the CMO grant program, we may use this supplemental priority in conjunction with the priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria in the ESEA and established in this document. Therefore, we decline to revise the final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria to add a focus on military families.\nComments: Seven commenters urged the Department to clarify through these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria that virtual charter schools must ensure that all students, particularly students with disabilities, can access virtual and online content. Several commenters requested that we require all virtual public schools, including virtual charter schools, to demonstrate compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Other commenters suggested that applicants proposing to replicate or expand virtual charter schools be required to focus on enrollment and retention of, and academic outcomes for, educationally disadvantaged students, and make performance and compliance data available publicly and in a timely manner. One commenter suggested that we refrain from awarding grants to virtual charter schools altogether.\nDiscussion: Section 4310(2)(G) of the ESEA requires charter schools receiving CSP funds to comply with various laws, including section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Thus, consistent with the requirements in Section 504 and Title II of the ADA, virtual charter schools must ensure that all content is accessible to students with disabilities enrolled in the school as well as prospective students with disabilities and parents or guardians. Similarly, like other local educational agencies (LEAs), public charter schools that operate as LEAs under State law, including virtual charter school LEAs and LEAs that include virtual charter schools among their public schools, must ensure that eligible students with disabilities enrolled in these schools receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE) in accordance with the requirements of Part B of the IDEA.3 To meet this obligation, these schools must provide instructional materials to students with disabilities in accessible formats, consistent with the requirements in Section 504 and Title II of the ADA. If web-based instruction or online instructional platforms are used, these schools must ensure that the information provided through those sources is accessible to students with disabilities, consistent with the requirements in Section 504 and Title II of the ADA. Because these requirements are already established by Federal law, we decline to revise these final priorities, requirements, definitions, or selection criteria.\n3\u2009Students with disabilities attending public charter schools and their parents retain all rights under Part B of the IDEA. Further, charter schools that operate as LEAs under State law, as well as LEAs that include charter schools among their public schools, are responsible for ensuring that the requirements of Part B of the IDEA are met, unless State law assigns that responsibility to some other entity. See 34 CFR 300.209.\nFurther, while we understand that WCAG is designed to make web content accessible to a wide range of individuals with disabilities and that demonstrating compliance with WCAG is a widely accepted method for public schools, including virtual public charter schools, to meet the obligations discussed above, the Department does not require grantees to adopt a particular standard to ensure accessibility of web content or online platforms to meet their obligations under Section 504 or Title II of the ADA. Moreover, the WCAG standards are updated periodically.\nWith respect to requiring virtual charter schools to focus on the enrollment and retention of, and academic outcomes for, educationally disadvantaged students, to receive a grant under the CMO grant program, an applicant must provide, among other things, student assessment results and attendance and retention rates for all students served by its schools, including educationally disadvantaged students (ESEA section 4305(b)(3)(A)). Further, CMO grantees must assure that each charter school receiving CSP funds makes annual performance and enrollment data publicly available (ESEA section 4303(f)(2)(G)(v)). CMO applicants must also provide the Department with information on existing significant compliance and management issues (ESEA section 4305(b)(3)(A)(iii)). These requirements apply to all CMO grantees, regardless of whether they intend to replicate or expand virtual or brick-and-mortar charter schools.\nFinally, while we recognize that virtual charter schools can present unique challenges with respect to the enforcement of CSP requirements, the ESEA does not preclude virtual charter schools from receiving CSP funds. For this reason, we decline to adopt the commenter's suggestion that we preclude applicants that propose to replicate or expand virtual charter schools from applying for funds under this program.\nComments: Several commenters requested that we clarify that charter schools are obligated to serve students with disabilities. One commenter stated that charter schools must adhere to the IDEA, hold regular individualized education plan meetings, and offer face-inclusive policies as codified by State law. Another commenter urged the Department to focus specifically on the needs of students with Tourette's syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder. Several commenters suggested that we include a priority for applicants that propose to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that serve students with disabilities.\nDiscussion: It is unclear what the commenter meant by \u201cface-inclusive policies,\u201d but we agree that students with disabilities face unique educational challenges. As stated above, all eligible students with disabilities attending public charter schools and their parents retain all rights under Part B of the IDEA, including the right to receive FAPE. In addition, these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria include a requirement that applicants for CMO grants describe how they intend to comply with Part B of the IDEA.\nFurther, a number of priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria under this program focus on educationally disadvantaged students, which include students who are children with disabilities, as defined in section 8101(4) of the ESEA. The Supplemental Priorities also include two priorities that focus on the needs of students with disabilities and could be used in future CMO grant competitions. These priorities are: Priority 1\u2014Empowering Families and Individuals to Choose a High-quality Education that Meets their Unique Needs (which includes a specific option for focusing on students with disabilities) and Priority 5\u2014Meeting the Unique Needs of Students and Children with Disabilities and/or Those with Unique Gifts and Talents. For these reasons, we decline to include a specific priority for students with disabilities or to focus this priority on students with a particular disability or impairment, such as Tourette's Syndrome or obsessive compulsive disorder.\nComments: Several commenters urged the Department to clarify whether applicants could still apply for CMO grants as groups or consortia and, if so, what the Department's expectations are for how a group or consortium application should be organized.\nDiscussion: Federal regulations at 34 CFR 75.127-75.129 specifically authorize applicants to apply as a group or consortium, and prescribe the requirements governing such applications. These final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria do not alter the requirements for group applications in 34 CFR 75.127-75.129. Therefore, we decline to make any changes in this area.\nComments: One commenter suggested that the Department allow high-performing applicants to submit streamlined applications for CMO grants. The commenter also suggested that we increase per-seat funding caps for CMOs that are expanding grades in schools because grade expansion can often be as costly as opening new schools. In addition, the commenter asked that we allow CMOs to apply for CMO grants and subgrants under section 4303 of the ESEA. Finally, the commenter asked that we issue nonregulatory guidance that would broadly interpret the term \u201cminor facilities repairs\u201d to ensure that charter schools can use CSP funds to ensure that students attend safe, clean, and well-maintained schools.\nDiscussion: Although the Department may have information regarding the past performance of some applicants\u2014in particular, CMOs that have received CSP grants previously\u2014we rely on the expertise of independent peer reviewers to evaluate the quality of applications submitted under a grant competition in order to ensure the fairness and integrity of the competition. Further, each application proposes to carry out different activities, and an applicant's successful implementation of one project does not guarantee the successful implementation of subsequent projects. To ensure an equal playing field, we believe it is critical that all applicants be required to submit the same general information for review. Therefore, we decline to enable high-performing applicants to submit streamlined applications, as suggested by the commenter.\nWith respect to the commenter's suggestion to raise per-seat funding caps, no revisions to these final priorities, requirements, definitions, or selection criteria are necessary for the Department to change per-seat funding caps for CMO grants in a given year. Under 34 CFR 75.101 and 75.104(b), the Secretary may establish maximum funding amounts for grants by publishing a notice in the Federal Register. When establishing funding limits under a CMO grant competition for a given fiscal year, the Department considers a number of factors, including the availability of funds.\nWe also note that section 4303 of the ESEA authorizes the CSP Grants to State Entities (State Entities) program, under which the Department awards grants to State entities, and State entities, in turn, award subgrants to eligible applicants (i.e., charter school developers and charter schools) to enable such eligible applicants to open and prepare for the operation of new charter schools and replicated high-quality charter schools, and to expand high-quality charter schools. The ESEA does not explicitly prohibit an entity that qualifies as a CMO and an eligible applicant from applying for both a CMO grant under section 4305(b) and a subgrant under section 4303(b). In order to receive funds under both programs, however, the CMO must propose to carry out different activities under each application and demonstrate that it has the resources and capability to administer multiple projects effectively and efficiently.\nFinally, we agree that students learn best in safe, clean, and well-maintained environments. Section 4303(h)(3) of the ESEA authorizes the use of CSP funds to \u201c[carry] out necessary renovations to ensure that a new school building complies with applicable statutes and regulations, and minor facilities repairs (excluding construction)\u201d (20 U.S.C. 7221b(h)(3)).4 We believe this provision affords CMO grantees the flexibility they need to ensure that the charter schools they manage occupy buildings and facilities that are safe, clean, and well-maintained. For examples of the types of repairs that could qualify as \u201cminor facilities repairs\u201d under section 4305(c), please see the Department's nonregulatory guidance entitled, \u201cCharter Schools Program New Flexibilities under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA): Frequently Asked Questions.\u201d\u20095\n4\u2009Under section 4305(c) of the ESEA, \u201cthe same terms and conditions\u201d that apply to State Entity grants under section 4303 apply to CMO grants.\n5\u2009See https://innovation.ed.gov/files/2017/12/CSP-ESSA-Flexibilities-FAQ-2017.pdf.\nComments: One commenter suggested that we add a priority for CMOs that propose to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that focus on dropout recovery and academic re-entry in order to maintain consistency with the authorizing statute.\nDiscussion: We agree that these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria should align with the ESEA and believe that they do. Section 4305(b)(5)(D) of the ESEA authorizes the Secretary to give priority to applicants that \u201cpropose to operate or manage high-quality charter schools that focus on dropout recovery and academic re-entry.\u201d We believe this statutory language is clear. Like the other statutory priorities as well as the priorities established under this NFP, the Secretary may choose to apply the statutory priority for dropout recovery and academic re-entry charter schools under a CMO grant competition in FY 2019 and future years. Accordingly, we decline to add a priority for CMOs that propose to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that focus on dropout recovery and academic re-entry.\nComments: Several commenters suggested that we designate specific priorities as absolute priorities or competitive preference priorities for competitions in FY 2019 and later years.\nDiscussion: Federal regulations at 34 CFR 75.105 authorize the Department to establish annual priorities and to designate the priorities as invitational, competitive preference, or absolute. Therefore, we do not need to revise the final priorities in order to designate them as absolute or competitive preference priorities for competitions in FY 2019 and in later years. In accordance with 34 CFR 75.105(c), we will designate specific priorities as invitational, absolute or competitive preference priorities for the FY 2019 competition, and competitions in later years, through a notice inviting applications (NIA) in the Federal Register.\nPriority 1\u2014Promoting Diversity\nComments: Several commenters expressed support for a priority that encourages diverse student populations. One commenter recommended that we follow a specific methodology for assessing whether applicants meet the priority. Several commenters questioned whether an applicant could meet this priority and Priority 4\u2014Low-Income Demographic, stating that it may be difficult for a school focused on socioeconomic diversity to maintain a high percentage of students who are individuals from low-income families. Some commenters recommended that the Department expand the scope of the priority to include students with disabilities, in addition to students from racially and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds. Finally, two commenters expressed concern about the priority's effect on communities and school districts more broadly. Specifically, one commenter argued that providing incentives for CMOs that propose to replicate or expand charter schools with diverse student bodies is unlikely to be successful because students typically attend schools in or near their neighborhoods, and neighborhoods, particularly in cities, tend to be segregated due to decades of deeply rooted societal forces, including racially motivated housing practices and school assignments. Another commenter suggested that we revise the priority to require that any efforts to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools with an intentional focus on diversity yield \u201czero net effect\u201d on the demographics of the schools from which the students are recruited.\nDiscussion: We believe that students can benefit from attending high-quality charter schools with racially and socioeconomically diverse student bodies. We agree that following a rubric, or methodology, for determining whether an applicant meets the priority can be useful. We will determine an appropriate method for reviewing applications addressing this priority in the NIA for a given competition.\nWe agree with the commenters that some aspects of Priority 1\u2014Promoting Diversity could potentially conflict with certain subparts of Priority 4\u2014Low-Income Demographic and, as such, it may be challenging for a CMO grant application to meet both priorities. The Department has flexibility in choosing priorities, requirements, and selection criteria for its grant competitions. In FY 2019 and in future years, we will select a combination of priorities, requirements, and selection criteria that is appropriate for the CMO program and aligned with the Secretary's policy objectives.\nIn addition, we share the commenters' concerns about ensuring that students with disabilities receive FAPE. However, this priority focuses specifically on diversity with respect to race and socioeconomic status. Race and socioeconomic status are commonly cited in research on diversity and its relationship with student academic achievement as two demographic factors that have a major impact.6 Further, we believe it is important that the final priority aligns with the statutory priority for this program in ESEA section 4305(b)(5)(A), which focuses on replicating or expanding high-quality charter schools with racially and socioeconomically diverse student bodies.\n6\u2009See, e.g.: The Century Foundation (2018). Diverse by Design Charter Schools. https://tcf.org/content/report/diverse-design-charter-schools/.\nWe agree with the commenter that cultivating and maintaining a diverse student body can be difficult and is unlikely to happen overnight. We also agree that high-quality charter schools can be a powerful option for educationally disadvantaged students but that many factors, such as safe and reliable transportation to and from school, can impact a family's realistic educational choices. This priority focuses on applicants that propose to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools with an intentional focus on racial and socioeconomic diversity, but it does not dictate how a CMO should approach this work. Promising practices for promoting diversity continue to emerge, and charter schools have great flexibility to choose an educational program that attracts students from diverse backgrounds and geographic areas outside of the immediate area surrounding the school. The intent of this priority is to encourage CMOs to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools with purposefully diverse student bodies through strategies that comply with non-discrimination requirements in the U.S. Constitution and in Federal civil rights laws, make sense for their local contexts, and are aligned with reliable research on the relationship between academic achievement and racial and socioeconomic diversity in schools.\nFinally, we agree with the commenter that CMOs should consider the community context when replicating or expanding high-quality charter schools, particularly charter schools with an intentional focus on racial and socioeconomically diverse student bodies. However, we do not think it is appropriate or practical to require that CMOs demonstrate to the Department a net zero effect on surrounding schools. For these reasons, we decline to revise the priority.\nDiscussion: Upon further review, we determined that it is critical to remind applicants addressing Priority 1 of their nondiscrimination obligations under Federal law. As such, we are revising the priority to clarify that proposed projects must be consistent with nondiscrimination requirements contained in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws.\nChanges: We have added the phrase \u201cconsistent with nondiscrimination requirements contained in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws\u201d to the priority.\nPriority 2\u2014Reopening Academically Poor-Performing Public Schools as Charter Schools\nComments: Several commenters expressed support for this priority. One commenter asked that we revise the priority to encourage applications from CMOs that can share best practices for turning around low-performing traditional public schools. Two commenters requested that we clarify whether an applicant could address the priority by proposing to open a new charter school, rather than to reopen an academically poor-performing public school as a charter school. One commenter suggested that we focus the priority on reopening academically poor-performing middle and high schools as charter schools.\nDiscussion: We agree with the commenters that the purpose of this priority\u2014to \u201creopen\u201d academically poor-performing charter schools\u2014could be clearer. An applicant proposing only to open new charter schools, and not \u201creopen\u201d an academically poor-performing public school as a charter school, would not meet this specific priority (but could meet other priorities established in this NFP). Therefore, in order to clarify the purpose of this priority, we are replacing the term \u201crestart\u201d with \u201creopen.\u201d In addition, we agree that starting a new school is an important endeavor, and note that opening new high-quality charter schools is a key element of the CSP. We also believe that charter schools can play an important role in helping to improve academic outcomes for students in low-performing public schools. Therefore, this priority is specifically focused on CMOs that propose to reopen academically poor-performing public schools as charter schools.\nWe also agree that applicants should be required to demonstrate past success working with low-achieving public schools in order to meet the priority. Accordingly, we are revising the stem of the priority to require applicants to address each subpart of the priority, including the subpart focused on demonstrating past success working with at least one academically poor-performing public school or schools that were designated as persistently lowest-achieving schools or priority schools under the School Improvement Grant program or ESEA flexibility. Under this standard, an applicant can share best practices working with traditional public schools as well as nontraditional public schools, such as public charter schools.\nFinally, we agree that a focus on middle schools and high schools may be appropriate in specific contexts, and have included a priority for applications that propose to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that serve high school students. Under this priority, an applicant can propose to reopen an academically poor-performing middle school or high school as a charter school as it sees fit. Therefore, we decline to revise the priority to focus on reopening academically poor-performing middle schools and high schools.\nChanges: We have revised the priority to replace the term \u201crestart\u201d with \u201creopen.\u201d In addition, we have revised the stem of the priority so that all subparts must be addressed in order for an applicant to meet the priority.\nComments: Several commenters opined that there is a disproportionately high percentage of students with disabilities in turnaround schools and suggested that we require CMOs proposing to reopen academically poor-performing public schools as charter schools to address the issue.\nDiscussion: A major goal of these priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria is to expand high-quality educational opportunities for educationally disadvantaged students, including students with disabilities. CMO grantees, and the charter schools they manage, must comply with applicable laws, including Part B of the IDEA, Section 504, and Title II of the ADA. Further, to meet the priority, an applicant must propose a strategy that targets a student population that is demographically similar to that of the academically poor-performing public school. Therefore, we decline to revise this priority in the manner suggested by the commenter.\nComments: Several commenters requested that the Department clarify its policy regarding admissions lotteries, including how a CMO might use a weighted lottery to address this priority. One commenter urged the Department to ensure that any grantee using a weighted lottery meet all relevant statutory requirements, and another commenter suggested that we ensure that any weighted lotteries are designed to enroll students with disabilities in proportion to the enrollment of such students in neighboring schools. Several commenters suggested that the Department update its nonregulatory guidance to clarify that CMOs that are reopening academically poor-performing public schools as charter schools could exempt from admissions lotteries students who are enrolled in the academically poor-performing public school at the time it is reopened.\nDiscussion: Under section 4303(c)(3) of the ESEA, charter schools receiving funds under a CMO grant generally may use \u201ca weighted lottery to give slightly better chances for admission to all, or a subset of, educationally disadvantaged students,\u201d so long as weighted lotteries in favor of such students are not prohibited under State law and are not used to create schools that would serve a particular group of students exclusively.7 Therefore, a charter school could use a weighted lottery for the purpose of enrolling a proportionate number of students with disabilities in the charter school as compared to the number of such students enrolled in neighboring schools. As such, the Department declines to expand the statutory requirements for weighted lotteries as they apply to CMO grants.\n7\u2009As stated above, under section 4305(c) of the ESEA, CMO grantees generally are subject to the same terms and conditions as State entity grantees funded under section 4303.\nFurther, the Department's most recent update to the CSP nonregulatory guidance was issued in January 2014.8 Although that guidance was issued prior to enactment of the ESSA, much of it is applicable to the CSP lottery requirement in section 4310(2)(H) of the ESEA. Specifically, the January 2014 CSP Nonregulatory Guidance identifies several categories of students who may be exempted from a charter school's lottery, including students who are enrolled in a public school at the time it is converted into a charter school. The Department may update this guidance to address changes to the CSP made by the ESSA. In the meantime, CMO grantees may continue to follow the guidelines in the January 2014 CSP Nonregulatory Guidance regarding the categories of students who may be exempted from the lottery requirement.\n8\u2009See http://www2.ed.gov/programs/charter/fy14cspnonregguidance.doc.\nComments: One commenter recommended that we use Priority 2 cautiously because available research on charter school performance is mixed.\nDiscussion: We agree that, where possible, Federal funding should be used primarily to support strategies that are based on research. To meet this priority, applicants would need to demonstrate past success working with academically poor-performing public schools. In addition, all applicants, regardless of whether they address this priority, must disclose compliance issues, provide a logic model for how they will replicate or expand high-quality charter schools, and describe how they currently operate or manage high-quality charter schools. This program specifically supports the replication and expansion of high-quality charter schools, and the final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are designed to differentiate between high-quality applications that are likely to be successful and low-quality applications that have little chance of succeeding.\nPriority 3\u2014High School Students\nComments: Several commenters expressed support for the priority but asked that we revise it to require applicants to demonstrate that their proposed strategy for replicating or expanding high-quality charter high schools is evidence-based. One commenter also suggested that applicants be required to provide data on former students' postsecondary degree attainment and employment. Conversely, another commenter suggested we use this priority cautiously due to a lack of research on charter high schools.\nDiscussion: We agree that using research to inform CMO grant proposals is useful in certain contexts, but we also understand that research in this area is limited. The Department's regulations at 34 CFR 75.226 specifically authorize the Secretary to give priority to applications that are supported by \u201cevidence.\u201d The Department may choose to implement such a priority under the CMO grant competition in a given year.\nLikewise, we agree that obtaining data on students' postsecondary degree attainment and employment may be relevant and encourage applicants to submit such information, as appropriate. On the other hand, the Department must balance its interest in obtaining sufficient information to assist peer reviewers in evaluating the quality of applications with its interest in minimizing the burden on applicants. In order to meet the priority, an applicant must describe how it will prepare students for postsecondary education and provide support for its graduates who enroll in institutions of higher education (IHEs) and certain one-year training programs that prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation. In addition, applicants must establish one or more project-specific performance measures that will provide reliable information about the grantee's progress in meeting the objectives of the project. We believe these requirements will generate the necessary information to enable peer reviewers to evaluate the quality of applications without placing an undue burden on applicants. For these reasons, we decline to revise the priority in the manner suggested by the commenters.\nComments: Several commenters suggested that we broaden the priority to focus on high schools that prepare students for paths to career and technical training and military service, as well as enrollment in two- and four-year colleges and universities. Several other commenters suggested that we revise the priority to encompass high schools that focus on transitional programming for students with disabilities.\nDiscussion: We agree that sending students to two- or four-year colleges and universities is not the only measure of a charter high school's success and that, for some students, getting a job or attending technical school may be the best option immediately after high school. Accordingly, we are revising subparts (ii) and (iii) of the priority to encompass a broader range of postsecondary education, training, and career options. Specifically, for this priority, postsecondary education institutions include both IHEs and educational institutions that offer one-year training programs that prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation (as described in section 101(b)(1) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA)). For clarity, we are also defining \u201cIHE\u201d in this NFP. The definition we are adding to the NFP is the same as the definition of \u201cIHE\u201d in section 8101(29) of the ESEA.\nFurther, while a career in the military can be very rewarding, the Department's mission is to promote student academic achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access. Therefore, we believe the primary goal of elementary and secondary education should be preparing students for success at the postsecondary education level. Nevertheless, charter schools have great flexibility to establish a unique mission and educational focus. Thus, an applicant may propose to replicate or expand charter schools with a wide range of educational programs, including a military (i.e., Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC)) focus, so long as the charter school meets the definition of \u201chigh-quality charter school\u201d in section 4310(8) of the ESEA and the terms of its charter. Our ultimate focus remains on ensuring that students graduate from high school prepared to succeed in a wide variety of postsecondary education options.\nWe also agree with the commenters that ensuring that students with disabilities (as well as other educationally disadvantaged students) graduate from high school with adequate preparation for postsecondary education options is paramount. Therefore, we are revising the priority to include specific references to educationally disadvantaged students where appropriate. Also, as stated above, eligible students with disabilities attending public charter schools and their parents retain their right to receive FAPE, and the IDEA requirements for transition services apply beginning with the first individualized education plan (IEP) to be in effect when the student turns 16, or younger if determined appropriate by the IEP team.9 Further, in order to be considered a high-quality charter school (a key aspect of this program), a charter school that serves high school students must have demonstrated success in increasing student academic achievement and graduation rates, and must provide that information disaggregated by subgroups of students defined in section 1111(c)(2) of the ESEA, which includes children with disabilities, as defined in the IDEA. Therefore, while we are revising the priority to include specific references to educationally disadvantaged students, we decline to revise the priority to include a specific focus on high schools that provide transitional programming (i.e., preparation for specific postsecondary education options) for students with disabilities.\n9\u2009See 20 U.S.C. 1414(d)(1)(A)(i)(VIII) and 34 CFR 300.320(b); see also 20 U.S.C. 1401(34) and 34 CFR 300.43.\nChanges: We have revised Priority 3\u2014High School Students to include specific references to educationally disadvantaged students and to clarify that the priority applies to high-quality charter schools that prepare high school students to attend IHEs, which generally consist of two- and four-year colleges and universities, as well as certain postsecondary education institutions that offer one-year training programs. We have also added a definition for \u201cIHE;\u201d this change is discussed later in this notice.\nPriority 4\u2014Low-Income Demographic\nComments: Several commenters expressed support for the priority but requested that we revise it to support only CMOs that can demonstrate that at least 60 percent of the students across all of the charter schools they operate or manage are individuals from low-income families. One commenter stated that the vast majority of CMOs operate schools with at least 60 percent students who are individuals from low-income families, so this priority would not meaningfully differentiate applicants. Another commenter suggested that we keep the priority's original structure but revise it to support CMOs that can demonstrate that 60 to 90 percent, instead of 40 to 60 percent, of the students across all of the charter schools that they operate or manage are individuals from low-income families.\nDiscussion: We believe that this priority is essential to provide incentives for CMOs to support charter schools that serve student populations with the most need. As written, the priority affords the Secretary discretion to establish a poverty threshold of 40 percent, 50 percent, or 60 percent individuals from low-income families under the CMO grant competition in a given fiscal year. We believe that 40 percent is an appropriate lower bound for this priority because it is aligned with the poverty threshold a Title I school generally must meet in order to operate a schoolwide program under section 1114 of the ESEA. For this reason, we decline to revise the priority to establish only one poverty threshold of 60 percent individuals from low-income families.\nWe also decline to revise the priority to require that CMOs operate or manage charter schools with 60 to 90 percent students who are individuals from low-income families since, as stated above, the priority could potentially conflict with Priority 1\u2014Promoting Diversity in a single competition. We recognize that many CMOs focus their efforts in high-need communities, but we believe it is also important to support high-quality charter schools that are designed with an intentional focus on racial and socioeconomic diversity. In any given year, we may include in an NIA one or more of these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria individually or in combination with each other; therefore, we decline to revise the priority as suggested by the commenters.\nComments: One commenter stated that applicants addressing this priority must demonstrate past success. The commenter also suggested that we revise the priority to encourage applicants to provide transportation and meal services to students.\nDiscussion: While applicants' past performance is not an explicit focus of this priority, it is embedded in the program through the various application priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria, including the Quality of the Eligible Applicant selection criterion. We also recognize that transportation and meals are important issues for charter schools that serve large numbers of low-income students. While CSP funds may be used to provide transportation and \u201chealthy snacks\u201d for students in limited circumstances, a number of other Federal, State, and local programs (such as the United States Department of Agriculture's National School Lunch Program) provide resources specifically for those purposes. For this reason, we decline to revise the priority to encourage applicants to provide transportation and meal services to students.\nComments: One commenter asked that we expand the priority to focus on other high-need populations, such as students with disabilities and English learners.\nDiscussion: Many aspects of the CMO grant program and these priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria focus on educationally disadvantaged students, which include students with disabilities and English learners. In addition, we are revising some selection factors under the Contribution in Assisting Educationally Disadvantaged Students criterion to include specific references to students with disabilities and English learners. Further, the Supplemental Priorities, which may be used under the CMO grant program, include several priorities (e.g., Priority 1(b)(ii) and (iii) and Priority 5) that focus on students with disabilities and English learners. Therefore, we decline to revise this priority to focus on other high-need groups, such as students with disabilities or English learners.\nComments: One commenter requested that we clarify how the priority would work as a competitive preference priority in a competition. Specifically, the commenter asked us to clarify whether points would be awarded on a sliding scale (e.g., one point for an applicant that can demonstrate its schools have at least 40 percent students who are individuals from low-income families, two points for an applicant that can demonstrate its schools have at least 50 percent students who are individuals from low-income families, and three points for an applicant that can demonstrate its schools have at least 60 percent students who are individuals from low-income families). The commenter expressed concern that an applicant could receive the maximum number of priority points for a higher poverty threshold, but only be required to maintain the minimum threshold throughout its grant project. The commenter also expressed concern that the focus of the priority is on all schools operated or managed by the CMO, and not only on the charter schools to be replicated or expanded as part of the grant project.\nDiscussion: While the priority is written in a manner that gives the Department flexibility to apply one, two, or all three poverty standards in a single competition, we do not anticipate applying more than one poverty standard in a single competition or assigning points on a sliding scale.\nWe agree with the commenter that an applicant receiving points for this priority should be required to maintain the same, or a substantially similar, poverty threshold throughout the life of the grant. As such, we are revising the priority to clarify that an applicant must demonstrate not only that its current portfolio of schools meets the specified poverty threshold, but also that it will maintain the same, or a substantially similar, poverty level in the charter schools that it replicates or expands, as well as its other schools, for the entire grant period. We recognize that the percentage of students who are individuals from low-income families may fluctuate on an annual basis and, for this reason, believe the priority should focus on all schools operated by a CMO and not just the charter schools to be replicated or expanded as part of the grant project.\nChanges: We have added a requirement that applicants demonstrate that they will maintain for the entire grant period a poverty threshold across the schools they operate or manage that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the poverty level proposed in the grant application.\nPriority 5\u2014Number of Charter Schools Operated or Managed by the Eligible Applicant\nComments: Several commenters suggested that we use the priority sparingly or remove it altogether. One commenter noted that the size of a CMO does not directly correlate to the quality of its schools, and another cited recent research suggesting that CMO size should not be used as a proxy for other characteristics. Other commenters expressed concern that the priority would dilute the quality of funded applications because it would create several smaller competitions for CMO grants. One commenter questioned the purpose of the priority, noting that if the intent is to support smaller, less-established CMOs, we may get better results using the priority for novice applicants in 34 CFR 75.225.\nDiscussion: We agree that size is not necessarily positively correlated with quality. We note, however, that the Department can employ several mechanisms, established in the ESEA and these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria, to assess the quality of an applicant and its proposal. This priority, by itself, is not intended to assess quality with respect to the size of the applicant. Rather, this priority is designed primarily to enable the Secretary to give a competitive advantage to small, medium, or large CMOs in a given year based on the Department's policy objectives for that year. We understand the concern that this priority could be used to create smaller sub-competitions that would decrease the amount of available funds for other CMOs. In any year in which we announce a competition, we will select a combination of priorities, requirements, and selection criteria that meet the requirements of the CMO grant program and is aligned with the Secretary's policy objectives.\nFinally, we agree that 34 CFR 75.225 provides a useful tool for encouraging applications from novice applicants. The Department will continue to follow the requirements in 34 CFR 75.225 to give priority to novice applicants in future CMO grant competitions, as we deem appropriate.\nPriority 6\u2014Rural Community\nComments: Several commenters expressed support for the priority but questioned whether an applicant could meet the priority by proposing to replicate or expand schools in a combination of rural communities and other communities.\nDiscussion: As written, this priority gives the Department flexibility to establish an absolute or competitive preference priority for applications that propose to replicate or expand one or more high-quality charter schools in a rural community or one or more high-quality charter schools in a non-rural community. To meet the priority, an applicant would need to propose to replicate or expand at least one high-quality charter school in a rural community or at least one high-quality charter school in a non-rural community, depending on the Department's policy objectives in a given year and which prong of the priority the applicant is addressing. The priority language does not preclude an applicant from also proposing to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools in other communities. We believe the priority is clear and, therefore, decline to revise it.\nComments: One commenter asked that we revise the priority to focus on opening new charter schools in rural areas. Conversely, another commenter raised concerns that new charter schools in rural areas would drain resources from traditional public schools.\nDiscussion: The purpose of the CMO grant program is to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools. Although replicated charter schools are based on educational models at existing high-quality charter schools, for all practical purposes, they are new charter schools. Further, in light of the unique challenges faced by rural communities, we believe prospective applicants for CMO grants should have the flexibility to design their projects in a way that meets the specific needs of the communities they plan to serve, including determining whether a particular rural community would be best served by creating a new, or replicated, charter school or by expanding an existing charter school.\nIn addition, we recognize that replicating or expanding high-quality charter schools will impact the surrounding community and is likely to have a greater impact in a rural community. The Department's broad focus is on expanding high-quality educational options for all students, including students in rural communities. Ideally, increasing access to high-quality educational options in rural communities will help improve student academic achievement not only in charter schools, but also in traditional public schools in the community. For these reasons, we decline to revise the priority.\nPriority 7\u2014Replicating or Expanding High-Quality Charter Schools To Serve Native American Students\nComments: Several commenters urged the Department to add a priority that would support Indian students by encouraging CMOs to replicate or expand dual language immersion schools that focus primarily on Indian languages. Another commenter suggested that the Department consider a CMO's ability to meaningfully engage with Tribal communities when making CMO grant decisions.\nDiscussion: As discussed in the \u201cDefinitions\u201d section below, we have replaced the term \u201cstudents who are Indians\u201d with the term \u201cNative American students\u201d in this priority. These changes allow applicants to receive priority points for proposing to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that serve Native Hawaiian and Native American Pacific Islander students, as well as students who are Indians (including Alaska Natives). We agree with the commenters that cultivating strong relationships with the communities to be served is crucial, and that focusing on Native American language immersion is a promising strategy for building and maintaining those relationships and improving academic outcomes for Native American students. To meet this priority, an applicant must propose to replicate or expand a high-quality charter school that will meet the unique needs of Native American students. The applicant may employ various strategies that reflect and preserve Native American language, culture, and history, including a \u201cdual language immersion\u201d program that focuses on Native American languages. Thus, an applicant proposing to replicate or expand a high-quality charter school with a dual language immersion program that focuses on Native American languages could meet this priority.\nIn addition, while we believe that a requirement for applicants to demonstrate a commitment to meaningfully collaborate with Tribal communities would result in actual collaborations, we agree that the language in the priority could be clearer with respect to requiring applicants to meaningfully engage with Tribal communities. Therefore, we are revising the priority to clarify that applicants must do more than demonstrate a commitment to collaborate.\nChanges: We have revised the priority to replace the phrase \u201cdemonstrate a commitment to meaningfully collaborate\u201d with \u201cmeaningfully collaborate.\u201d\nComments: One commenter expressed support for the priority but suggested that we revise it to require applicants to submit a resolution or official document, rather than a letter, from surrounding Indian Tribes or Indian organizations that demonstrates their support for the proposed project. The commenter also suggested that we clarify our expectations for the composition of the board for a charter school to be replicated or expanded under the grant, and suggested that we require the board to have a percentage of Indian Tribe or Indian organization members that is comparable to the percentage of Native American students enrolled in the school. Finally, the commenter suggested that we revise the priority to require that applicants demonstrate a record of success in Tribal communities, particularly for applicants proposing to replicate or expand virtual charter schools.\nDiscussion: We agree that a CMO with strong support from surrounding Indian Tribes or Indian organizations is more likely to succeed in replicating or expanding high-quality charter schools that serve a high proportion of Native American students. Accordingly, in order to meet this priority, the applicant must submit a letter of support from an Indian Tribe or Indian organization located in the area to be served by the charter school. While a resolution is not required, an applicant is not precluded from submitting a resolution, or other official document, to demonstrate support.\nLikewise, we believe that charter school developers and charter schools in the communities where the charter school will be located are best suited to assemble a school board that understands the unique educational needs of the students to be served. We believe that requiring a specific percentage or number of board members from Indian Tribes or Indian organizations could limit the ability of applicants to fully respond to the needs of the communities they propose to serve. In order to meet the priority, however, CMOs will need to collaborate with an Indian Tribe or Indian organization in the communities in which they propose to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools to ensure that school boards represent their students appropriately. While a school board with a percentage of members of Indian Tribes or Indian organizations that is comparable to the percentage of Native American students to be served could satisfy the substantial percentage requirement in this priority, there may be circumstances where a smaller or larger percentage of members from an Indian Tribe or Indian organization is appropriate. For these reasons, we decline to revise the priority as suggested by the commenter.\nFinally, while an applicant is not precluded from demonstrating past success working with Tribal communities, we decline to revise the priority to impose such a requirement. In order to receive CMO funds, all applicants must describe how they operate or manage the charter schools (including virtual charter schools) for which they have presented evidence of success (see Requirement (e)). We believe that Indian Tribes and Indian organizations located in the community to be served by the replicated or expanded charter school are in the best position to determine whether a particular CMO applicant has the requisite knowledge and experience to serve Native American students effectively. Therefore, the requirements that an applicant obtain a letter of support from, and meaningfully collaborate with, a local Indian Tribe or Indian organization should prevent CMOs that lack the knowledge and experience necessary to serve Tribal communities successfully from meeting the priority. For these reasons, we decline to revise the priority in the manner suggested by the commenter.\nComments: A few commenters requested that we clarify which requirements we would include in future CMO grant competitions. One commenter also requested that we clarify which requirements represent existing obligations under Federal law.\nDiscussion: As a general matter, the CSP statute prescribes the priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria that apply to all CMO grants, regardless of the fiscal year in which the grant is awarded. In addition, the Department's regulations at 34 CFR part 75 prescribe the procedures the Department must follow when awarding and administering discretionary grants. The main purposes of these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are to clarify the Department's interpretation of certain statutory requirements and to establish other priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria consistent with congressional intent. The Department generally has discretion to choose specific priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria to apply to CMO grants in a given year based on the Department's policy objectives for that year. All of the requirements in this NFP are aligned with existing requirements for CMO grants under the ESEA and the Department's regulations.\nComments: One commenter suggested that we require applicants to disclose whether any charter schools in their network meet the definition of \u201cacademically poor-performing public school.\u201d The commenter also suggested that we differentiate between \u201cschools\u201d and \u201ccampuses\u201d because States vary in how they define the two terms.\nDiscussion: We agree that knowing whether an applicant has \u201cacademically poor-performing public schools\u201d in its network could give the Department an indication of the overall quality of the CMO's charter schools. On the other hand, there are many reasons why a charter school may qualify as an academically poor-performing public school and, ultimately, the existence of one or more academically poor-performing public schools in a CMO's network is not necessarily dispositive proof that the CMO is unable to administer a CMO grant effectively and efficiently. For example, it would not be unusual for an applicant that has reopened one or more low-achieving public schools to have an academically poor-performing public school in its network. Under Requirement (e), any CMO that receives a grant must provide evidence of success, regardless of whether the CMO has operated or managed academically poor-performing public schools.\nIn addition, Requirement (a) provides that applicants must demonstrate that they operate more than one charter school. Requirement (a) clearly states that, for purposes of the CMO grant program, multiple charter schools are considered to be separate schools if each school meets the definition of \u201ccharter school\u201d in section 4310(2) of the ESEA and is treated as a separate school by its authorized public chartering agency and the State in which the charter school is located, including for purposes of accountability and reporting under Title I, Part A of the ESEA. For these reasons, we decline to revise the priority as suggested by the commenter.\nComments: Several commenters requested that we clarify the definition of \u201chigh proportion,\u201d as that term is used in Priority 7. One commenter provided data suggesting that the definition of \u201chigh proportion\u201d may not be ambitious enough. Conversely, one commenter suggested that we define \u201chigh proportion\u201d as 25 percent students who are Indians, consistent with one of the requirements in section 6112 of the ESEA.\nDiscussion: As discussed above, we are revising Priority 7\u2014Replicating or Expanding High-Quality Charter Schools to Serve Native American Students to replace \u201cstudents who are Indians\u201d with \u201cNative American students.\u201d As written, the priority gives applicants an opportunity to explain why the number of Native American students it proposes to serve constitutes a \u201chigh proportion,\u201d based on the specific circumstances and context of the community in which the charter school is or will be located. For this reason, we decline to require charter schools to serve a specific percentage of Native American students, such as 25 percent, in order to meet the priority.\nWe appreciate that some data may suggest that many charter schools have student bodies comprised of 75 percent or more Native American students. Such schools would generally meet the definition of high proportion established in this document. On the other hand, if an applicant proposes to replicate or expand a charter school that has less than a majority of Native American students but provides a compelling rationale for why the school should be considered to have a high proportion of Native American students, we may consider the applicant to have met the standard. Applicants addressing Priority 7 must, among other things, meaningfully collaborate with Indian Tribes or Indian organizations and must replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that have an academic program purposely designed to meet the unique needs of Native American students. We believe that all of the components of Priority 7, including the definition of \u201chigh proportion,\u201d set an appropriately rigorous bar for CMO applicants while also affording some flexibility. Therefore, we decline to revise the definition of high proportion as suggested by the commenters.\nComments: A few commenters suggested that we revise the definition of \u201cIndian\u201d to include Native Hawaiians.\nDiscussion: We agree that Native Hawaiian students have many of the same unique educational needs as students who are Indians. We also believe that students who are Native American Pacific Islanders have similar educational needs. Therefore, as stated above, we are replacing the terms \u201cIndian\u201d and \u201cIndian language,\u201d respectively, with \u201cNative American\u201d and \u201cNative American language\u201d throughout the final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria. Likewise, we are removing the definition of the term \u201cIndian\u201d and adding definitions for \u201cNative American\u201d and \u201cNative American language,\u201d based on the definitions for those terms in section 8101(34) of the ESEA.10 The ESEA definition of \u201cNative American\u201d explicitly includes Indians (including Alaska Natives), Native Hawaiians, and Native American Pacific Islanders.\n10\u2009Section 8101(34) defines \u201cNative American\u201d and \u201cNative American language\u201d as having the same meaning given those terms in section 103 of the Native American Languages Act of 1990 (NALA). Under section 103, \u201cNative American\u201d includes Indians (including Alaska Natives), Native Hawaiians, and Native American Pacific Islanders.\nChanges: We have removed the definition of \u201cIndian\u201d and added definitions for \u201cNative American\u201d and \u201cNative American language.\u201d\nComments: One commenter suggested that we use the term \u201cTribal organization\u201d instead of \u201cIndian organization\u201d because \u201cTribal organization\u201d is the term used in the ESEA.\nDiscussion: While the term \u201cTribal organization\u201d is used under several ESEA programs, the term is not defined in section 8101 of the ESEA, which provides general definitions that apply to programs authorized under the ESEA. The term \u201cIndian organization\u201d is used in the authorizing statute for the Department's Indian Education program (20 U.S.C. 7401-7492) and defined in the Department's regulations implementing the Indian Education program at 34 CFR 263.20. We think it is important to maintain consistency with the Indian Education program.\nComments: One commenter suggested that we revise Selection Criterion (b)\u2014Contribution in assisting educationally disadvantaged students to enable the Department to assess better the extent to which an applicant would effectively support students with disabilities. Specifically, the commenter suggested that we add a selection factor focused on attendance rates and outcomes for educationally disadvantaged students, including students with disabilities and English learners, and revise the existing selection factors to focus on effective instructional strategies for educationally disadvantaged students.\nDiscussion: Two major purposes of the CSP are to expand educational opportunities for educationally disadvantaged students and to assist such students in meeting State academic content and performance standards. As written in the NPP, this selection criterion would enable the Department to evaluate the quality of an application with respect to achieving these two objectives. While educationally disadvantaged students include students with disabilities, we agree with the commenter that an emphasis should be placed on students with disabilities and English learners because enrollment of such students in charter schools tends to be lower than enrollment of such students in neighboring traditional public schools. Therefore, we are revising the selection criterion to emphasize students with disabilities and English learners.\nChanges: We have revised two selection factors in Selection Criterion (b) to sharpen the criterion's focus on serving educationally disadvantaged students. We also have revised the title of the criterion to clarify the focus on the significance of the contribution in assisting educationally disadvantaged students.\nFinal Priorities Priority 1\u2014Promoting Diversity\nUnder this priority, applicants must propose to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that have an intentional focus on recruiting students from racially and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds and maintaining racially and socioeconomically diverse student bodies in those charter schools, consistent with nondiscrimination requirements contained in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws.\nUnder this priority, applicants must\u2014\n(i) Demonstrate past success working with one or more academically poor-performing public schools or schools that previously were designated as persistently lowest-achieving schools or priority schools under the former School Improvement Grant program or in States that exercised ESEA flexibility, respectively, under the ESEA, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001; and\n(ii) Propose to use grant funds under this program to reopen one or more academically poor-performing public schools as charter schools during the project period by\u2014\n(A) Replicating one or more high-quality charter schools based on a successful charter school model for which the applicant has provided evidence of success; and\n(B) Targeting a demographically similar student population in the replicated charter schools as was served by the academically poor-performing public schools, consistent with nondiscrimination requirements contained in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws.\nUnder this priority, applicants must propose to\u2014\n(i) Replicate or expand high-quality charter schools to serve high school students, including educationally disadvantaged students;\n(ii) Prepare students, including educationally disadvantaged students, in those schools for enrollment in postsecondary education institutions through activities such as, but not limited to, accelerated learning programs (including Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses and programs, dual or concurrent enrollment programs, and early college high schools), college counseling, career and technical education programs, career counseling, internships, work-based learning programs (such as apprenticeships), assisting students in the college admissions and financial aid application processes, and preparing students to take standardized college admissions tests;\n(iii) Provide support for students, including educationally disadvantaged students, who graduate from those schools and enroll in postsecondary education institutions in persisting in, and attaining a degree or certificate from, such institutions, through activities such as, but not limited to, mentorships, ongoing assistance with the financial aid application process, and establishing or strengthening peer support systems for such students attending the same institution; and\n(iv) Propose one or more project-specific performance measures, including aligned leading indicators or other interim milestones, that will provide valid and reliable information about the applicant's progress in preparing students, including educationally disadvantaged students, for enrollment in postsecondary education institutions and in supporting those students in persisting in and attaining a degree or certificate from such institutions. An applicant addressing this priority and receiving a CMO grant must provide data that are responsive to the measure(s), including performance targets, in its annual performance reports to the Department.\n(v) For purposes of this priority, postsecondary education institutions include institutions of higher education, as defined in section 8101(29) of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act, and one-year training programs that meet the requirements of section 101(b)(1) of the HEA.\nUnder this priority, applicants must demonstrate one of the following\u2014\n(i) That at least 40 percent of the students across all of the charter schools the applicant operates or manages are individuals from low-income families, and that the applicant will maintain the same, or a substantially similar, percentage of such students across all of its charter schools during the grant period;\n(ii) That at least 50 percent of the students across all of the charter schools the applicant operates or manages are individuals from low-income families, and that the applicant will maintain the same, or a substantially similar, percentage of such students across all of its charter schools during the grant period; or\n(iii) That at least 60 percent of the students across all of the charter schools the applicant operates or manages are individuals from low-income families, and that the applicant will maintain the same, or a substantially similar, percentage of such students across all of its charter schools during the grant period.\nUnder this priority, applicants must propose to replicate or expand one or more high-quality charter schools in\u2014\n(i) A rural community; or\n(ii) A community that is not a rural community.\n(A) Utilize targeted outreach and recruitment in order to serve a high proportion of Native American students, consistent with nondiscrimination requirements contained in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws;\n(B) Have a mission and focus that will address the unique educational needs of Native American students, such as through the use of instructional programs and teaching methods that reflect and preserve Native American language, culture, and history; and\n(C) Have a governing board with a substantial percentage of members who are members of Indian Tribes or Indian organizations located within the area to be served by the replicated or expanded charter school;\n(ii) Submit a letter of support from at least one Indian Tribe or Indian organization located within the area to be served by the replicated or expanded charter school; and\n(iii) Meaningfully collaborate with the Indian Tribe(s) or Indian organization(s) from which the applicant has received a letter of support in a timely, active, and ongoing manner with respect to the development and implementation of the educational program at the charter school.\n(b) Provide information regarding any compliance issues, and how they were resolved, for any charter schools operated or managed by the applicant that have\u2014\n(d) If the applicant currently operates, or is proposing to replicate or expand, a single-sex charter school or coeducational charter school that provides a single-sex class or extracurricular activity (collectively referred to as a \u201csingle-sex educational program\u201d), demonstrate that the existing or proposed single-sex educational program is in compliance with title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681, et seq.) and its implementing regulations, including 34 CFR 106.34.\n(e) Describe how the applicant currently operates or manages the high-quality charter schools for which it has presented evidence of success and how the proposed replicated or expanded charter schools will be operated or managed, including the legal relationship between the applicant and its schools. If a legal entity other than the applicant has entered or will enter into a performance contract with an authorized public chartering agency to operate or manage one or more of the applicant's schools, the applicant must also describe its relationship with that entity.\n(h) Describe how the applicant will ensure that all eligible children with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education in accordance with part B of the IDEA.\n(j) Provide a budget narrative, aligned with the activities, target grant project outputs, and outcomes described in the logic model, that outlines how grant funds will be expended to carry out planned activities.\n(i) A request and justification for waivers of any Federal statutory or regulatory provisions that the applicant believes are necessary for the successful operation of the charter schools to be replicated or expanded; and\n(ii) A description of any State or local rules, generally applicable to public schools, that will be waived, or otherwise not apply, to such schools.\nFinal Definitions\n(b) A public school otherwise identified by the State or, in the case of a charter school, its authorized public chartering agency, as similarly academically poor-performing.\nEducationally disadvantaged student means a student in one or more of the categories described in section 1115(c)(2) of the ESEA, which include children who are economically disadvantaged, students who are children with disabilities, migrant students, English learners, neglected or delinquent students, homeless students, and students who are in foster care.\nHigh proportion, when used to refer to Native American students, means a fact-specific, case-by-case determination based upon the unique circumstances of a particular charter school or proposed charter school. The Secretary considers \u201chigh proportion\u201d to include a majority of Native American students. In addition, the Secretary may determine that less than a majority of Native American students constitutes a \u201chigh proportion\u201d based on the unique circumstances of a particular charter school or proposed charter school, as described in the application for funds.\nInstitution of higher education means an educational institution in any State that\u2014\n(i) Admits as regular students only persons having a certificate of graduation from a school providing secondary education, or the recognized equivalent of such a certificate, or persons who meet the requirements of section 484(d)of the HEA;\n(ii) Is legally authorized within such State to provide a program of education beyond secondary education;\n(iii) Provides an educational program for which the institution awards a bachelor's degree or provides not less than a 2-year program that is acceptable for full credit toward such a degree, or awards a degree that is acceptable for admission to a graduate or professional degree program, subject to review and approval by the Secretary;\n(iv) Is a public or other nonprofit institution; and\n(v) Is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association, or if not so accredited, is an institution that has been granted preaccreditation status by such an agency or association that has been recognized by the Secretary for the granting of preaccreditation status, and the Secretary has determined that there is satisfactory assurance that the institution will meet the accreditation standards of such an agency or association within a reasonable time.\nNative American means an Indian (including an Alaska Native), Native Hawaiian, or Native American Pacific Islander.\nNative American language means the historical, traditional languages spoken by Native Americans.\nFinal Selection Criteria\n(i) The extent to which the academic achievement results (including annual student performance on statewide assessments, annual student attendance and retention rates, and, where applicable and available, student academic growth, high school graduation rates, college attendance rates, and college persistence rates) for educationally disadvantaged students served by the charter schools operated or managed by the applicant have exceeded the average academic achievement results for such students served by other public schools in the State.\n(iii) The extent to which one or more charter schools operated or managed by the applicant have had any significant issues in the area of financial or operational management or student safety, or have otherwise experienced significant problems with statutory or regulatory compliance that could lead to revocation of the school's charter.\n(b) Significance of contribution in assisting educationally disadvantaged students.\nIn determining the significance of the contribution the proposed project will make in expanding educational opportunities for educationally disadvantaged students and enabling those students to meet challenging State academic standards, the Secretary considers one or more of the following factors:\n(i) The extent to which charter schools currently operated or managed by the applicant serve educationally disadvantaged students, particularly students with disabilities and English learners, at rates comparable to surrounding public schools or, in the case of virtual charter schools, at rates comparable to public schools in the State.\n(ii) The quality of the plan to ensure that the charter schools the applicant proposes to replicate or expand will recruit, enroll, and effectively serve educationally disadvantaged students, particularly students with disabilities and English learners.\nIn determining the quality of the evaluation plan for the proposed project, the Secretary considers the extent to which the methods of evaluation include the use of objective performance measures that are clearly related to the intended outcomes of the proposed project, as described in the applicant's logic model (as defined in 34 CFR 77.1), and that will produce quantitative and qualitative data by the end of the grant period.\nThis document does not preclude us from proposing additional priorities, requirements, definitions, or selection criteria, subject to meeting applicable rulemaking requirements.\nUnder Executive Order 13771, for each new rule that the Department proposes for notice and comment or otherwise promulgates that is a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, and that imposes total costs greater than zero, it must identify two deregulatory actions. For Fiscal Year 2019, any new incremental costs associated with a new regulation must be fully offset by the elimination of existing costs through deregulatory actions. Because the proposed regulatory action is not significant, the requirements of Executive Order 13771 do not apply.\nWe are issuing these final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria only on a reasoned determination that their benefits justify their costs. In choosing among alternative regulatory approaches, we selected those approaches that maximize net benefits. Based on the analysis that follows, the Department believes that this regulatory action is consistent with the principles in Executive Order 13563.\nIn accordance with these Executive orders, the Department has assessed the potential costs and benefits, both quantitative and qualitative, of this regulatory action. The potential costs are those resulting from statutory requirements and those we have determined as necessary for administering the Department's programs and activities.\nThe Department believes that this regulatory action does not impose significant costs on eligible entities, whose participation in this program is voluntary. While this action does impose some requirements on participating CMOs that are cost-bearing, the Department expects that applicants for this program will include in their proposed budgets a request for funds to support compliance with such cost-bearing requirements. Therefore, costs associated with meeting these requirements are, in the Department's estimation, minimal.\nThis regulatory action strengthens accountability for the use of Federal funds by helping to ensure that the Department selects for CSP grants the CMOs that are most capable of expanding the number of high-quality charter schools available to our Nation's students, consistent with a major purpose of the CSP as described in section 4301(3) of the ESEA. The Department believes that these benefits to the Federal government and to State educational agencies outweigh the costs associated with this action.\nThe Department believes that the priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are needed to administer the program effectively. As an alternative to the selection criteria announced in this document, the Department could choose from among the selection criteria authorized for CSP grants to CMOs in section 4305(b) of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7221c) and the general selection criteria in 34 CFR 75.210. We do not believe that these criteria provide a sufficient basis on which to evaluate the quality of applications. In particular, the criteria do not sufficiently enable the Department to assess an applicant's past performance with respect to the operation of high-quality charter schools or with respect to compliance issues that the applicant has encountered.\nWe note that several of the final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are based on priorities, requirements, definitions, selection criteria, and other provisions in the authorizing statute for this program.\nThe final priorities, requirements, and selection criteria contain information collection requirements that are approved by OMB under OMB control number 1894-0006; the final priorities, requirements, and selection criteria do not affect the currently approved data collection.\nElectronic Access to This Document: The official version of this document is the document published in the Federal Register.

[FR Doc. 2018-26095 Filed 11-29-18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4000-01-P LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Copyright Office 37 CFR Parts 201 and 202 [Docket Nos. 2018-2, 2018-3] Group Registration of Newsletters and Serials AGENCY:\nThe U.S. Copyright Office is amending its regulations governing the group registration options for newsletters and serials. With respect to group newsletters, the final rule amends the definition of \u201cnewsletter,\u201d eliminating the requirement that each issue must be a work made for hire, and the provision stating that group newsletter claims must be received within three months after publication. Under the final rule, newsletter publishers now should register their issues with the online application and upload a digital copy of each issue through the electronic registration system instead of submitting them in a physical form. With respect to group serials, the final rule clarifies that serials governed by the rule generally must be published at intervals of a week or longer, and that the publication dates provided in the application need not match the dates appearing on the issues themselves. In addition, the rule phases out the paper application for group serials and the submission of physical copies. Beginning one year after the rule goes into effect, serial publishers will be required to use the online application for group serials and to upload a digital copy of each issue, rather than submitting them in a physical form. The final rule updates the regulations for both newsletters and serials by confirming that publishers do not need to provide the Library of Congress with complimentary subscriptions to or microfilm of each issue as a condition for registering their works with the Office, but newsletter and serial issues that are submitted for purposes of registration will no longer satisfy the mandatory deposit requirement. Publishers will be expected to separately provide the Library with two complimentary subscriptions if the newsletter or serial is published in the United States in a physical format (unless the publisher is informed that the publication is not needed for the Library's collections). If the newsletter or serial is published solely in electronic form, the publisher will remain exempt from mandatory deposit unless the Office issues a formal demand for copies of that publication.\nRobert J. Kasunic, Associate Register of Copyrights and Director of Registration Policy and Practice, or Erik Bertin, Deputy Director of Registration Policy and Practice, by telephone at 202-707-8040, or by email at [email protected] or [email protected]; or Cindy Paige Abramson, Assistant General Counsel, by telephone at 202-707-0676, or by email at [email protected]\nOn May 17, 2018, the Copyright Office (the \u201cOffice\u201d) published two notices of proposed rulemaking (\u201cNPRMs\u201d) setting forth proposed amendments to the regulations governing the group registration options for newsletters and serials. 83 FR 22902 (May 17, 2018); 83 FR 22896 (May 17, 2018). The Office did not receive any comments in response to the NPRM on group newsletters. In response to the NPRM on group serials, the Office received comments from the Copyright Alliance and one individual.1 Having reviewed and carefully considered these comments, the Office is issuing a final rule that is nearly identical to the rule proposed in the NPRM on group newsletters, and substantially similar to the rule proposed in the NPRM on group serials; in both cases, the Office has made a few modifications reflecting the concerns raised by the comments regarding online registration and electronic submission of deposits regarding group registration of serials, which are discussed in more detail below.2\n1\u2009The comments can be found on the Copyright Office's website at https://www.copyright.gov/rulemaking/group-serials/.\n2\u2009The final rule also includes a few technical amendments. The rule has been revised to account for a recent amendment that was made by the final rule on group registration of newspapers. See 83 FR 25375 (June 1, 2018). The rule removes cross-references to the prior regulations on newsletters and serials. See 37 CFR 202.4(l), 202.6(e)(1). It also corrects an error made by the Federal Register in publishing the regulation on supplementary registration. See 82 FR 27424 (June 15, 2017). Specifically, the rule removes the term \u201cSE.\u201d (which is an abbreviation for \u201csoutheast\u201d) and replaces it with the term \u201cSE\u201d (which is the correct abbreviation for the term \u201cserials\u201d). See 37 CFR 202.6(e)(1).\nTopics Involving Solely the Group Registration Option for Newsletters\nThe final rule revises current practices for the group registration option for newsletters. It clarifies and expands the category of works eligible for this option by amending the definition of what constitutes a \u201cnewsletter\u201d and by making clear that newsletters need not be collective works. It also eliminates the work-made-for-hire requirement and the requirement that the issues must be submitted within three months after publication.\nThe final rule also phases out the paper application (known as Form G/DN) and generally requires applicants to register their newsletters using the designated online application. In addition, it requires applicants to upload their newsletters in a digital format through the electronic registration system. If an applicant submits Form G/DN after the effective date of the final rule, the Office will refuse to register the claim. Likewise, the Office will refuse registration if an applicant submits physical copies of a newsletter, such as printed copies or photocopies, or digital copies that have been saved onto a flash drive, disc, or other physical storage medium.\nTopics Involving Solely the Group Registration Options for Serials\nThe final rule codifies, clarifies, and revises current practices for the group registration option for serials.\nFirst, the final rule requires that each claim must include at least two issues, that each issue must be a work made for hire, and that the author and copyright claimant for each issue must be the same person or organization.\nSecond, the final rule eliminates the current requirement that each issue must have been created no more than one year prior to publication.\nThird, the final rule requires that applicants may only register serials that are \u201cgenerally . . . published at intervals of a week or longer\u201d (e.g., weekly, every two weeks, monthly), and requires that the issues be \u201cpublished in a given three month period\u201d within \u201cthe same calendar year.\u201d The proposed rule reflected the current practice that issues must be published at intervals of one week or more, however, the Copyright Alliance noted that publishers sometimes distribute two issues during the same week, such as when a \u201cspecial\u201d issue is published in addition to a regularly scheduled issue.3 To accommodate these practices, the final rule clarifies that a serial must \u201cgenerally\u201d be published at intervals of one week or more. The Copyright Alliance also explained that issues may be published in one month but contain an issue date for the following month and, in the case of issues published in December, may contain the issue date for January of the following year.4 Based on this information, the final rule eliminates the requirements that the issues themselves must bear issue dates reflecting the same three-month period and the same calendar year. Instead, applicants will be required to provide a publication date for each issue in the group.\n3\u2009Copyright Alliance Comment at 2-3.\n4\u2009Copyright Alliance Comment at 2.\nFourth, the final rule requires that each issue must be an \u201call-new\u201d collective work that has not been previously published, and each issue must be fixed and distributed as a discrete, self-contained collective work. The Copyright Alliance expressed concern that this requirement may prevent publishers from registering \u201cenhanced, digital issues which may contain content hosted on and linked to another platform such as videos and blogs that allow the reader to manipulate or interact with the issue.\u201d\u20095 The Office does not believe a change to the language of the rule is necessary. If a particular issue contains enhanced content, such as an embedded video, the registration will cover that material if it is included within the deposit and if the examiner can access and view that material in the context where it appears within the actual serial.6 Any additional content that appears on the publisher's website\u2014but does not appear within the issues themselves\u2014must be registered separately.\n6\u2009See U.S. Copyright Office, Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices, sec. 1508.1 (3d ed. 2017) (noting that the Office \u201cmust be able to perceive the entire content of the work, including the context where each element appears within the work as a whole\u201d).\nFifth, the final rule generally requires applicants to register their issues using the online application designated for group serial claims, and eliminates the paper application known as Form SE/Group.7\n7\u2009An individual filed a public comment supporting the requirement for applicants to file electronically and stated that he believed this would promote efficiency, reduce the burden on applicants, and encourage broader participation in the registration system. Kotelnikov Comment at 1. The Copyright Alliance also agreed that eliminating the paper form and requiring publishers to use the online application will \u201cfacilitate economy and efficiency.\u201d Copyright Alliance Comment at 3.\nFinally, the final rule amends the deposit requirements by requiring applicants to upload their issues in digital form through the electronic registration system, instead of submitting them in a physical form, absent exceptional cases. While the Copyright Alliance agreed that requiring publishers to upload a digital copy of each issue \u201cwill generally `increase the efficiency of the group registration process,'\u2009\u201d it questioned whether the electronic registration system is capable of handling large digital files, whether the process of uploading these files may be burdensome for some publishers, and whether the Office has implemented and deployed robust security measures to protect its digital deposits.8 The Copyright Alliance suggested that the Office should gradually phase out the paper application and continue to accept physical deposits \u201c[u]ntil the registration system is able to fully accommodate the digital deposit process.\u201d\u20099 After carefully reviewing these comments, the Office has decided to adopt the online digital deposit requirement proposed in the NPRM, but to give publishers time to adjust to this change, the Office will continue to accept physical deposits and paper applications for another twelve months. Generally, if a publisher submits a Form SE/Group or submits a physical deposit after the phase-out period has expired, the Office will refuse to register the claim.\nThe Office has concluded that the other concerns raised by the Copyright Alliance about digital deposits were already adequately addressed by the proposed rule. The Office has accepted digital deposits from serial publishers since September 14, 2012, and is not aware of any technical issues that have prevented them from using the upload feature. The current registration system will accept any digital deposit, as long as it is submitted in an acceptable file format and does not exceed 500MB. And as noted in the proposed rule, the files may be compressed to comply with this limit, if necessary.\nThe Office first introduced its electronic registration system more than a decade ago, and as the Copyright Alliance acknowledged, the Office has not experienced any issues concerning the security of its digital deposits.10 The Office utilizes a multi-level security design to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the files that are stored within this system. The system is certified to operate at the moderate security level, as defined by the FIPS 200 and SP 800-53 standards published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.11 The entire system operates on hardware and software that is dedicated to this system and it does not share storage resources with other systems. Strict access controls have been placed throughout the system that enforce the principle of \u201cleast privilege,\u201d meaning that each type of user may access only what is needed for that particular role. The system is also protected by multiple levels of network firewalls and other network-based security, such as anti-malware protection, and it is continuously monitored to ensure that these security controls remain effective.\n10\u2009Copyright Alliance Comment at 3.\n11\u2009See NIST, Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 200, Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems, and NIST, Special Publication 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems, available at https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/.\nIn addition to these technical measures, the Office's regulations restrict the parties who may obtain access to its digital registration deposits. Briefly stated, the Office will provide a copy of a registration deposit only if it receives (i) written authorization from the copyright claimant or the owner of the exclusive rights in the work, (ii) a written request from an attorney representing a plaintiff or defendant in litigation involving that work, or (iii) a court order directing the Office to produce a copy of that work for use in a legal proceeding.12\n12\u2009See 37 CFR 201.2(d)(2).\nSimilarly, regulations restrict how parties may access digital registration deposits that have been transferred to the Library of Congress. Specifically, the Library currently provides access to the digital registration deposits that it receives through the group registration option for newspaper issues, subject to certain conditions specified in the regulations.13 But the Library currently does not provide public access to digital registration deposits for any other type of work, including deposits submitted under the group registration option for serial issues. As noted in the NPRM on group newspapers, the Library would like to expand the regulation to include other types of digital registration deposits, but before doing so, the Office will conduct separate rulemakings to provide notice and seek comment from the public.14\n13\u2009See 37 CFR 202.18 (limiting access to electronic works to \u201ctwo Library of Congress authorized users via a secure server over a secure network that serves Library of Congress premises\u201d).\nTopics Involving Both the Group Registration Option for Newsletters and the Group Registration Option for Serials\nThe final rule makes four changes that modify the regulations governing both newsletters and serials.\nFirst, the rule memorializes the Office's longstanding position regarding the scope of a group registration. It confirms that a registration for a group of newsletter or serial issues covers each issue in the group. It also confirms that if each issue is a collective work, the registration will cover the articles, photographs, illustrations, or other contributions appearing within those issues if they are fully owned by the copyright claimant and if they were first published in those issues.\nSecond, the rule confirms that newsletter and serial publishers will no longer be required to provide the Library of Congress with complimentary subscriptions to or microfilm copies of their issues as a condition for seeking a group registration under section 408(c)(1) of the Copyright Act. The Copyright Alliance applauded the elimination of this requirement.15 But newsletter and serial issues that are submitted to the Office for purposes of registration will no longer satisfy the mandatory deposit requirement set forth in section 407 of the Copyright Act.16\n16\u2009The final rule does not apply to newspapers; deposits submitted in compliance with group registration of newspapers also satisfy the mandatory deposit requirement. 37 CFR 202.19(d)(2)(x).\nThird, the rule provides guidance on how newsletter and serial publishers may comply with the mandatory deposit requirement. If a newsletter or serial is published in the United States in a physical format, the publisher will be expected to provide the Library with two complimentary subscriptions to physical copies of that publication, unless the publisher is notified that the newsletter or serial is not needed for the Library's collections. The rule does not change for newsletters or serials published solely in electronic format; in that case, the publisher will not be expected to provide copies of that publication unless the Office issues a formal demand for that newsletter or serial under section 202.24 of the regulations.\nFourth, the final rule includes provisions to address the Copyright Alliance's concerns about the potential burdens of electronic filing and digital deposit on applicants transitioning from traditional print to digital media.17 These provisions permit the Office to waive the online filing requirement in \u201can exceptional case\u201d and \u201csubject to such conditions as the Associate Register and Director of the Office of Registration Policy and Practice may impose on the applicant.\u201d Registrants who do not have internet access or are unable to use the online applications may contact the Office, and the Office will review the specific details of their cases and determine their eligibility. The rule also provides that applicants may request special relief under \u00a7\u2009202.20(d) if they are unable to comply with the deposit requirements for these group options. These provisions are consistent with recently amended rules for group registration of contributions to periodicals and of photographs (published and unpublished) and for supplemental registration.18\n18\u200937 CFR 202.4(g)(9), (h)(11), (i)(11), 202.6(e)(7); see also 82 FR 47415, 47419 (Oct. 12, 2017) (proposing same for group registration of unpublished works).\nThe Office plans to offer several resources for newsletter and serial publishers that should ease the transition to these new requirements, including an updated version of the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices, Third Edition and updated Circulars that discuss these group registration options and the mandatory deposit requirements for these types of works. The Office will also update the onscreen instructions and help text that accompanies the online applications for each type of claim, and add warnings to the corresponding paper applications to notify applicants that Forms G/DN and SE/Group will soon be phased out.\n2. Amend \u00a7\u2009201.1 by revising paragraph (c)(6) to read as follows:\n(6) Mandatory Deposit Copies. Mandatory deposit copies of published works submitted for the Library of Congress under 17 U.S.C. 407 and \u00a7\u2009202.19 of this chapter (including complimentary subscriptions to serial publications), and newspaper microfilm copies submitted under \u00a7\u2009202.4(e) of this chapter, should be addressed to: Library of Congress, U.S. Copyright Office, Attn: 407 Deposits, 101 Independence Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20559-6600.\nRegistration, recordation and related services Fees\n*\u2003*\u2003*\u2003*\u2003*\u2003*\u2003* (6) Registration of a claim in a group of serials (per issue, minimum two issues) 25 *\u2003*\u2003*\u2003*\u2003*\u2003*\u2003*\n5. Amend \u00a7\u2009202.3 by removing and reserving paragraphs (b)(6) and (9). 6. Amend \u00a7\u2009202.4 as follows: a. Add paragraphs (d) and (f). b. In paragraph (l) remove \u201cthrough (7), or (9)\u201d. c. Revise the first sentence of paragraph (n).\n(d) Group registration of serials. Pursuant to the authority granted by 17 U.S.C. 408(c)(1), the Register of Copyrights has determined that a group of serial issues may be registered with one application, the required deposit, and the filing fee required by \u00a7\u2009201.3(c) of this chapter, if the following conditions are met:\n(1) Eligible works. (i) All the issues in the group must be serials.\n(ii) The group must include at least two issues.\n(iii) Each issue in the group must be an all-new collective work that has not been previously published, each issue must be fixed and distributed as a discrete, self-contained collective work, and the claim in each issue must be limited to the collective work.\n(iv) Each issue in the group must be a work made for hire, and the author and claimant for each issue must be the same person or organization.\n(v) The serial generally must be published at intervals of a week or longer. All of the issues must be published within three months, under the same continuing title, within the same calendar year, and the applicant must specify the date of publication for each issue in the group.\n(2) Application. The applicant may complete and submit the online application designated for a group of serial issues. Alternatively, the applicant may complete and submit a paper application using Form SE/Group, provided that the application is received on or before December 30, 2019. The application may be submitted by any of the parties listed in \u00a7\u2009202.3(c)(1).\n(3) Deposit. The applicant must submit one complete copy of each issue that is included in the group. Copies submitted under this paragraph will be considered solely for the purpose of registration under 17 U.S.C. 408, and will not satisfy the mandatory deposit requirement under 17 U.S.C. 407.\n(i) The issues may be submitted in digital form if the following requirements have been met. Each issue must be contained in a separate electronic file. The applicant must use the file-naming convention and submit digital files in accordance with instructions specified on the Copyright Office's website. The files must be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF), they must be assembled in an orderly form, and they must be uploaded to the electronic registration system as individual electronic files (i.e., not .zip files). The files must be viewable and searchable, contain embedded fonts, and be free from any access restrictions (such as those implemented through digital rights management) that prevent the viewing and examination of the work. The file size for each uploaded file must not exceed 500 megabytes, but files may be compressed to comply with this requirement.\n(ii) Alternatively, the applicant may submit a physical copy of each issue, provided that the deposit is received on or before December 30, 2019. If the claim is submitted with an online application, the copies must be accompanied by the required shipping slip generated by the electronic registration system, the shipping slip must be attached to one of the copies, the copies and the shipping slip must be included in the same package, and the package must be sent to the address specified on the shipping slip.\n(4) Exceptional cases. In an exceptional case, the Copyright Office may waive the online filing requirement set forth in paragraph (d)(2) of this section or may grant special relief from the deposit requirement under \u00a7\u2009202.20(d), subject to such conditions as the Associate Register of Copyrights and Director of the Office of Registration Policy and Practice may impose on the applicant.\n(f) Group registration of newsletters. Pursuant to the authority granted by 17 U.S.C. 408(c)(1), the Register of Copyrights has determined that a group of newsletter issues may be registered with one application, the required deposit, and the filing fee required by \u00a7\u2009201.3(c) of this chapter, if the following conditions are met:\n(1) Eligible works. (i) All the issues in the group must be newsletters. For purposes of this section, a newsletter is a serial that is published and distributed by mail, electronic media, or other medium, including paper, email, or download. Publication must usually occur at least two days each week and the newsletter must contain news or information that is chiefly of interest to a special group, such as trade and professional associations, colleges, schools, or churches. Newsletters are typically distributed through subscriptions, but are not distributed through newsstands or other retail outlets.\n(iii) Each issue in the group must be an all-new issue or an all-new collective work that has not been previously published, and each issue must be fixed and distributed as a discrete, self-contained work.\n(iv) The author and claimant for each issue must be the same person or organization.\n(v) All the issues in the group must be published under the same continuing title, they must be published within the same calendar month and bear issue dates within that month, and the applicant must identify the earliest and latest date that the issues were published during that month.\n(2) Application. The applicant must complete and submit the online application designated for a group of newsletter issues. The application may be submitted by any of the parties listed in \u00a7\u2009202.3(c)(1).\n(3) Deposit. The applicant must submit one complete copy of each issue that is included in the group. The issues must be submitted in digital form, and each issue must be contained in a separate electronic file. The applicant must use the file-naming convention and submit digital files in accordance with instructions specified on the Copyright Office's website. The files must be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF), they must be assembled in an orderly form, and they must be uploaded to the electronic registration system as individual electronic files (i.e., not .zip files). The files must be viewable and searchable, contain embedded fonts, and be free from any access restrictions (such as those implemented through digital rights management) that prevent the viewing and examination of the work. The file size for each uploaded file must not exceed 500 megabytes, but files may be compressed to comply with this requirement. Copies submitted under this paragraph will be considered solely for the purpose of registration under 17 U.S.C. 408, and will not satisfy the mandatory deposit requirement under 17 U.S.C. 407.\n(4) Exceptional cases. In an exceptional case, the Copyright Office may waive the online filing requirement set forth in paragraph (f)(2) of this section or may grant special relief from the deposit requirement under \u00a7\u2009202.20(d), subject to such conditions as the Associate Register of Copyrights and Director of the Office of Registration Policy and Practice may impose on the applicant.\n(n) The scope of a group registration. When the Office issues a group registration under paragraphs (d), (e), or (f) of this section, the registration covers each issue in the group and each issue is registered as a separate work or a separate collective work (as the case may be). * * *\n7. In \u00a7\u2009202.6(e)(1) remove \u201c\u00a7\u2009202.3(b)(6) through (10) or\u201d; and remove \u201cSE.\u201d and add \u201cSE\u201d in its place. 8. Amend \u00a7\u2009202.19 by adding paragraph (d)(2)(xi) to read as follows:\n(xi) In the case of serials (as defined in \u00a7\u2009202.3(b)(1)(v), but excluding newspapers) published in the United States in a physical format, or in both a physical and an electronic format, the copyright owner or the owner of the exclusive right of publication must provide the Library of Congress with two complimentary subscriptions to the serial, unless the Copyright Acquisitions Division informs the owner that the serial is not needed for the Library's collections. Subscription copies must be physically mailed to the Copyright Office, at the address for mandatory deposit copies specified in \u00a7\u2009201.1(c) of this chapter, promptly after the publication of each issue, and the subscription(s) must be maintained on an ongoing basis. The owner may cancel the subscription(s) if the serial is no longer published by the owner, if the serial is no longer published in the United States in a physical format, or if the Copyright Acquisitions Division informs the owner that the serial is no longer needed for the Library's collections. In addition, prior to commencing the subscriptions, the owner must send a letter to the Copyright Acquisitions Division at the address specified in \u00a7\u2009201.1(b) of this chapter confirming that the owner will provide the requested number of subscriptions for the Library of Congress. The letter must include the name of the publisher, the title of the serial, the International Standard Serial Number (\u201cISSN\u201d) that has been assigned to the serial (if any), and the issue date and the numerical or chronological designations that appear on the first issue that will be provided under the subscriptions.\n9. Amend \u00a7\u2009202.20 by removing and reserving paragraph (c)(2)(xvii). 10. In Appendix B to Part 202, revise the last sentence of paragraph a. to read as follows: Appendix B to Part 202\u2014\u201cBest Edition\u201d of Published Copyrighted Works for the Collections of the Library of Congress\na. * * * (For works first published only in a country other than the United States, the law requires the deposit of the work as first published.)\nDated: November 5, 2018. Karyn A. Temple, Acting Register of Copyrights.\nCarla D. Hayden, Librarian of Congress. [FR Doc. 2018-26091 Filed 11-29-18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 1410-30-P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [EPA-R09-OAR-2018-0413; FRL-9985-75-Region 9] Revisions to California State Implementation Plan; South Coast Air Quality Management District; Stationary Source Permits AGENCY:\nThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing action on a revision to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD or District) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). We are finalizing a conditional approval of one rule governing issuance of permits for stationary sources, including review and permitting of major sources and major modifications under part D of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA). Specifically, the revision pertains to SCAQMD Rule 1325\u2014Federal PM 2.5 New Source Review Program.\nThis rule will be effective on December 31, 2018.\nThe EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket No. EPA-R09-OAR-2018-0413. All documents in the docket are listed on the http://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are available through http://www.regulations.gov, or please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section for additional availability information.\nOn August 8, 2018 (83 FR 39012), the EPA proposed to conditionally approve the following rule that was submitted for incorporation into the SCAQMD portion of the California SIP.\nTable 1\u2014Submitted Rule Rule No. Rule title Amended Submitted 1325 Federal PM2.5 New Source Review Program 11/4/16 5/8/17\nWe proposed a conditional approval of this rule because we determined that, separate from the deficiencies listed in Section II.B of our proposed rulemaking action, the rule met the statutory requirements for SIP revisions as specified in section 110(l) of the CAA, as well as the substantive statutory and regulatory requirements for a nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) permit program as contained in CAA sections 110(a)(2)(C) and 173(a) through (c), and 40 CFR 51.165 that pertain to a PM2.5 nonattainment area classified as Serious. Moreover, we concluded that if the State submits the changes it committed to submit in its July 16, 2018 commitment letter, the identified deficiencies will be cured.\nThe EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period. During this period, we received two comments on the proposed rule. These comments raised issues that are outside the scope of our proposed approval of Rule 1325, including air pollution monitoring in China and India, climate change, and wind and solar power costs and regulations. None of those comments are germane to our evaluation of Rule 1325.\nNo comments were submitted that change our assessment that submitted Rule 1325 satisfies the applicable CAA requirements. Therefore, under CAA sections 110(k)(4) and 301(a), and for the reasons set forth in our August 8, 2018 proposed rule, we are finalizing the conditional approval of Rule 1325. This action incorporates Rule 1325 into the federally enforceable SIP and will be codified through revisions to 40 CFR 52.220 (Identification of plan) and 40 CFR 52.248 (Identification of plan\u2014conditional approval).\nIf the State meets its commitment to submit the required changes, the revisions to Rule 1325 will remain a part of the SIP until EPA takes final action approving or disapproving the new SIP revisions. However, if the State fails to submit these revisions within the required timeframe, the conditional approval will automatically become a disapproval, and EPA will issue a finding of disapproval. EPA is not required to propose the finding of disapproval.\nIn addition, because we are finalizing our proposed action, we are removing the existing Rule 1325 from the SCAQMD portion of the California SIP.\nIn this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the SCAQMD rule listed in Table 1 of this preamble. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials available electronically through www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).\nDated: October 11, 2018. Deborah Jordan, Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.\nSubpart F\u2014California 2. Section 52.220 is amended by adding paragraphs (c)(458)(i)(A)(2) and (c)(509) to read as follows:\n(2) Previously approved on May 1, 2015 in paragraph (c)(458)(i)(A)(1) of this section and now deleted with replacement in paragraph (c)(509)(i)(A)(1), Rule 1325.\n(509) New and amended regulations for the following APCDs were submitted on May 8, 2017 by the Governor's designee.\n(i) Incorporation by reference.

Statutory and Executive Order (E.O.) Reviews I. General Information A. Does this action apply to me?\nThis action applies to entities that manage airbag waste (i.e., discarded airbag modules and airbag inflators) that are subject to hazardous waste regulations. The dealerships performing the Takata recall work constitute the majority of the facilities that will be impacted by this rule. These dealerships fall under NAICS code 441: Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers. EPA estimates that about 15,256 dealerships may be affected by this rule. Other potentially affected entities include those in NAICS code 336: Transportation Equipment Manufacturing, and in NAICS code 562: Waste Management and Remediation Services.\nB. Why is EPA issuing an interim final rule?\nSection 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedures are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. EPA has determined that there is good cause for issuing this interim final rule without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because such notice and opportunity for comment would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. Specifically, prompt promulgation of this rule without delay is necessary to protect human health and the environment by facilitating the urgent removal of dangerously defective Takata airbag inflators from vehicles, and by preventing defective Takata airbag inflators from scrap vehicles from being reused, while maintaining protection of human health and the environment during airbag waste collection, storage and disposal.\nIn its November 3, 2015 Coordinated Remedy Order, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that it was imperative to accelerate the rate of the recalls because \u201c[e]ach airbag inflator with the capacity to rupture, as the recalled Takata inflators do, presents an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death . . . Since the propensity for rupture increases with the age of the inflator, and increases even more when the vehicle has been exposed to consistent long-term HAH [high absolute humidity] conditions, the risk for injurious or lethal rupture increases with each passing day.\u201d\u20091 This report emphasizes that as the inflators get older, each day that passes brings forth an increased danger. In addition, as noted in a November 15, 2017 report prepared by the Independent Monitor for the Takata Restructuring on The State of the Takata Recalls, \u201c[t]he words `grenade' and `ticking time bomb' accurately convey the lethal potential of these defective inflators.\u201d\u20092\n1\u2009National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Coordinated Remedy Order, November 3, 2015, Docket No. NHTSA-2015-0055, paragraph 32. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/nhtsa-coordinatedremedyorder-takata.pdf.\n2\u2009The Independent Monitor of Takata and the Coordinated Remedy Program, The State of the Takata Airbag Recalls, November 15, 2017, page 1, paragraph 1. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/the_state_of_the_takata_airbag_recalls-report_of_the_independent_monitor_112217_v3_tag.pdf.\nDelaying promulgation of this rule through notice and comment procedures would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest because such a delay would further increase the risk of death or serious injury by slowing down the removal of defective Takata airbag inflators from vehicles and impeding the collection of defective airbag inflators from salvage yards and other locations (and increasing the potential for defective airbag inflators in scrap vehicles to be reused). This existing risk has now increased significantly since the date of the 2015 NHTSA report because of recent events that further heighten the urgency to accelerate the recall.\nFirst, more time has passed since the date of the 2015 NHTSA study, and as noted in that study and reiterated in the 2017 study by the Independent Monitor, each passing day brings forth more danger. The danger is greater today than in 2015 because of the increased age of the inflators.\nSecond, with the recent amendment to DOT's Preservation Order on April 12, 2018, and with Takata's restructuring due to bankruptcy finalized on February 21, 2018, vehicle manufacturers no longer have to send recalled inflators to Takata warehouses for long-term storage but may now send them directly for disposal. EPA is encouraging this through today's conditional exemption, since long-term storage of recalled inflators can make the defect more dangerous. These recalled inflators that are sent directly to disposal are not covered by the amended Preservation Order and thus are regulated as hazardous waste, whereas in the past they were not regulated as waste under the original Preservation Order. As a result, many automobile dealers and other entities who continue to replace recalled airbag inflators at the current rate of repair could become subject to additional hazardous waste generator requirements in 40 CFR part 262, which would impose additional regulatory obligations on the dealers' and salvage vendors' management of the inflators. Through our conversations with DOT, the automobile manufacturers, automotive salvage vendors, and other affected stakeholders, EPA has learned that imposing full generator requirements on automobile dealers and salvage vendors who lack the expertise and experience in managing hazardous waste would result in the slowdown, rather than the necessary acceleration, of the recall effort, resulting in even greater harm to human health and the environment.3\n3\u2009EPA 2018. Compilation of Stakeholder Meeting Summaries Regarding RCRA Regulation of Airbag Waste.\nThis rule is intended to assist the automobile dealers and other entities in their handling of the airbags, and ensure delivery of the airbags to facilities that can more expertly manage these airbags in order to accelerate the recall. Thus, it is essential that there be no delay in promulgating this rule.\nThird, there have continued to be deaths as recently as 2018 as a result of Takata airbag explosions. On January 1, 2018, there was a death in Malaysia\u20094 , and before that, on July 13, 2017, a death in Australia\u20095 as well as another on July 19, 2017 in Florida\u20096 as a result of defective Takata airbags.\n4\u2009Confirmed Rupture of Takata Driver's Airbag Inflator in Malaysia on January 1, 2018 (Jan. 30, 2018), https://www.honda.com.my/corporate/press_release_details/660/Confirmed-Rupture-of-Takata-Driver%E2%80%99s-Airbag-Inflator-in-Malaysia-on-January-1,-2018.\n5\u2009Takata Recall: Sydney man was due to replace airbag two days before fatal accident (last updated Sept. 6, 2018), https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/07/takata-recall-sydney-man-was-due-to-replace-airbag-two-days-before-fatal-accident.\n6\u200920th death from faulty Takata airbags reported by Honda (Dec. 20, 2017), https://www.cbsnews.com/news/20th-death-from-faulty-takata-air-bags-reported-by-honda/.\nFinally, with respect to the effective date, EPA finds that it has good cause to make the revisions immediately effective under section 553(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(d), and section 3010(b) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6930(b). Section 553(d) provides in pertinent part that final rules shall not become effective until 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, \u201cexcept . . . a substantive rule which grants or recognizes an exemption or relieves a restriction . . . or as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause\u201d. RCRA section 3010(b) has similar provisions for an immediate effective date. It provides for an immediate effective date, rather than the usual six month period, for \u201c(1) a regulation with which the Administrator finds the regulated community does not need six months to come into compliance . . . . or (3) other good cause found and published with the regulation,\u201d among other exceptions.\nThe purpose of section 553(d) of the APA is to \u201cgive affected parties a reasonable time to adjust their behavior before the final rule takes effect.\u201d Omnipoint Corp. v. FCC, 78 F.3d 620, 630 (D.C. Cir. 1996); see also United States v. Gavrilovic, 551 F.2d 1099, 1104 (8th Cir. 1977) (quoting legislative history). Similarly, as noted above, whether the regulated community needs a period of time to come into compliance is relevant to the application of RCRA section 3010(b). Because this rule grants a conditional exemption from certain RCRA hazardous waste requirements, it qualifies for the APA exemption for any rule that \u201crecognizes or grants an exemption or relieves a restriction\u201d as well as the RCRA exemption for any rule for which \u201cthe regulated community does not need six months to come into compliance.\u201d\nMoreover, EPA has determined that for purposes of both the APA and RCRA effective date provisions, there is good cause for making this final rule effective immediately. In determining whether good cause exists to waive the 30-day effective date under the APA, an agency should \u201cbalance the necessity for immediate implementation against principles of fundamental fairness which require that all affected persons be afforded a reasonable amount of time to prepare for the effective date of its ruling.\u201d Gavrilovic, 551 F.2d at 1105. EPA has also applied this balancing test to the RCRA effective date provision for purposes of this rule. This rule facilitates a more expedited removal of defective Takata airbag inflators from vehicles by dealerships, salvage yards and other locations for safe and environmentally sound disposal by exempting the collection of airbag waste from hazardous waste requirements so long as certain conditions are met. Because this action provides an exemption to certain requirements that automobile dealers and other parties would otherwise need to follow under RCRA, and because this exemption is optional, the regulated community does not need time to prepare for this rule. Specifically, as further discussed in this preamble, the conditions for the exemption mirror how recalled airbag modules and airbag inflators have been managed under the DOT Preservation Order during the past three years, and therefore no additional time is needed to start operating under the exemption. In contrast, the necessity of immediate implementation is great, as previously discussed.\nAs a result, EPA is making this interim final rule effective upon publication.\nThese regulations are promulgated under the authority of sections 2002, 3001, 3002, 3003, 3004, 3006, 3010, and 3017 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). This statute is commonly referred to as \u201cRCRA.\u201d\nIII. When will this interim final rule be effective?\nThe revisions to 40 CFR 260.10, CFR 261.4 and CFR 262.14 become effective on November 30, 2018.\nIV. Background Information A. Regulation of Airbag Modules and Airbag Inflators Under RCRA\nAn airbag module is a fully assembled unit including both the airbag inflator and the fabric cushion. An airbag inflator is the small metal canister within the airbag module that generally houses explosive propellant and an initiator. The airbag module is deployed when the airbag inflator receives an electronic pulse from a vehicle's crash sensor. In properly functioning airbag modules that use a gas generating system, chemical propellant contained in an airbag inflator unit burns in a fast and controlled manner, quickly emitting an inert gas through vents in the canister out into the airbag module, which inflates the cushion. Airbag modules across the automobile safety industry utilize explosive propellants for rapid response to an automobile accident.\nMost airbag inflators use oxidizers as part of the gas generating composition of the propellant and, therefore, when discarded, would meet the definition of ignitable hazardous waste under the RCRA hazardous waste regulations at 40 CFR 261.21(a)(4), which states that a solid waste exhibits the characteristic of ignitability if, \u201c[i]t is an oxidizer.\u201d\u20097 In addition, due to the explosive propellant component, discarded airbag modules and airbag inflators meet the definition of reactive hazardous waste at 40 CFR 261.23(a)(6), which states that a solid waste exhibits the characteristic of reactivity if, \u201c[i]t is readily capable of detonation or explosive reaction if it is subjected to a strong initiating source or if heated under confinement.\u201d\u20098 The deployment of airbag inflators generally results in the depletion of the ignitable and/or reactive components to cause the release of inert gas, after which the inflators would no longer exhibit the ignitable or reactive characteristics under the RCRA regulations.\n7\u2009Ignitable hazardous waste carries the waste code D001.\n8\u2009Reactive hazardous waste carries the waste code D003.\nAirbag modules and airbag inflators that exhibit hazardous waste characteristics under 40 CFR part 261 subpart C may be exempt from hazardous waste regulations under certain scenarios, as summarized in an EPA memorandum signed on July 19, 2018.9 As the memo explains, the applicable RCRA hazardous waste regulations for airbag modules and airbag inflators depend on the type of device, and how it is managed. However, it is important to note that, as the memo explains, recalled Takata airbag modules and airbag inflators removed from vehicles do not qualify for the exemptions and exclusions available to non-recalled airbag modules and airbag inflators because, as described in this preamble, the Takata recalled airbag inflators cannot be safely reused or deployed.\n9\u2009U.S. EPA, Regulatory Status of Automotive Airbag Inflators and Fully Assembled Airbag Modules, July 19, 2018.\nB. Background on the Takata Inflator Recalls\nIn May 2015, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced a national recall of airbag inflators manufactured by Takata due to a defect in their phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant, which has resulted in fifteen deaths and at least 250 injuries in the U.S. as of August 2018.10 These airbag inflator recalls constitute the largest automotive recall in U.S. history, with 19 vehicle manufacturers affected and approximately 65-70 million airbag inflators scheduled to be recalled by December 2019. Of these affected airbag inflators, 50 million inflators in an estimated 37 million vehicles were recalled as of August 2018 and the remaining inflators will be recalled by December 2019.11 Included in this number are tens of thousands of \u201cAlpha\u201d airbag inflators, which have a significantly higher risk of rupture due to a manufacturing defect resulting in low-density propellant in addition to the propellant defect described below. Nine of the 15 fatalities in the U.S. were caused by Alpha airbag inflators.12\n10\u2009National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Takata Recall Spotlight. https://www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/takata-recall-spotlight.\n11\u2009Id.; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), The State of Takata Recalls, https://www.nhtsa.gov/recall-spotlight/state-takata-recalls.\n12\u2009National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Takata \u201cAlpha\u201d Airbags Pose Increased Risk, https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls/takata-alpha-air-bags-pose-increased-risk.\nOn November 3, 2015, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a Coordinated Remedy Order that set forth the requirements and obligations of certain motor vehicle manufacturers and the airbag manufacturer, Takata, in connection with the recall and remedy of certain types of Takata airbag inflators.13 In its Coordinated Remedy Order, NHTSA found that it was imperative to accelerate the rate of the recalls because \u201c[e]ach airbag inflator with the capacity to rupture, as the recalled Takata inflators do, presents an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death. . . . Since the propensity for rupture increases with the age of the inflator, and increases even more when the vehicle has been exposed to consistent long-term HAH [high absolute humidity] conditions, the risk for injurious or lethal rupture increases with each passing day.\u201d\u200914\n13\u2009National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Coordinated Remedy Order, November 3, 2015, Docket No. NHTSA-2015-0055. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/nhtsa-coordinatedremedyorder-takata.pdf.\n14\u2009Ibid, paragraph 32.\nThe PSAN propellant used in the recalled Takata airbag inflators degrades over time when moist propellant is exposed to long-term daily temperature cycling. Moisture from the air adsorbs to PSAN particles, changing the structure of the propellant and causing the inflator to over-pressurize during deployment.15 In some cases, this over-pressurization causes the metal canister to rupture, producing shrapnel-like metal shards during airbag inflation. To mitigate these effects, Takata began manufacturing PSAN airbag inflators containing desiccant to prevent the adsorption of moisture to the PSAN particles. While some inflators with desiccant have been recalled, others are still under evaluation and may or may not be recalled in the future.16\n15\u2009National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Expert Report of Harold R. Blomquist, Ph.D., May 4, 2016. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.\n16\u2009National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), New Takata recall involves Nissan, Ford, and Mazda vehicles, https://www.nhtsa.gov/recall-spotlight/new-takata-recall-involves-nissan-ford-and-mazda-vehicles.\nA 2015 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Takata pyrotechnic automotive safety devices, including airbag modules and airbag inflators, describes the hazards of the devices, including an \u201c[i]nitiation hazard of an uncontrolled activation of the safety device due to: Fire; heat; electrostatic discharge; inductions through electromagnetic radiation; or, excessive mechanical load\u201d and a \u201c[b]urn hazard when there is direct contact with pyrotechnic safety device during activations.\u201d\u200917 The firefighting measures described in the SDS include evacuating personnel and emergency responders for 1500 feet (1/3 mile). In the event of spilled material from damaged devices, the SDS recommends that an explosive expert conduct the cleanup using anti-static equipment.\n17\u2009Takata Safety Data Sheet (SDS)\u2014Pyrotechnic Automotive Safety Devices, January 2015.\nPropagation and bonfire testing results submitted to EPA by Takata provides further information regarding the hazards posed by recalled Takata inflators.18 In September 2016, a third-party company performed sympathetic propagation testing on two types of recalled Takata airbag inflators for Takata. The testing generally consisted of bundling several inflators together and deploying the center inflator in order to observe the effects of deployment on the surrounding inflators. The results of the testing showed that deployment of one inflator does not cause deployment of surrounding inflators. In some tests, the center inflator fragmented, but it still did not cause surrounding inflators to deploy or fragment, although some superficial damage to the surrounding inflators did occur. In April 2017, a third-party company performed the UN 6(c) external fire (bonfire) test on recalled Takata airbag inflators in individual fiberboard boxes. The inflators did not mass detonate when exposed to fire, but they did initiate, as would be expected when inflators are exposed to temperatures generated by this type of fire. In some cases, they were propelled from their initial locations of rupture, throwing fragments beyond the initial location of the inflator.\n18\u2009Testing information was submitted as confidential business information (CBI). The summary of results in this preamble does not contain CBI.\nC. Damage Incidents Related to Airbag Inflator Recycling\nWhile non-Takata airbag inflators do not present the same shrapnel-producing defect as recalled Takata airbag inflators, these airbag inflators can still present an explosive risk when processed or recycled, as demonstrated by recent incidents at two facilities. In February 2015, an explosion and fire occurred at one airbag manufacturing and recycling facility as two workers handled airbag inflators that had been processed in an incinerator prior to recycling the metal.19 In that incident, one worker was hospitalized with head injuries and burns. In March 2018, a large explosion at a different airbag recycling facility in the dedicated airbag recycling area killed one worker and seriously injured another.20 This explosion is suspected to have been caused by the ignition of aluminum dust, which was created in the process of shredding airbag inflators. These incidents demonstrate the characteristically hazardous nature of waste airbag inflators and their component materials and the potential risk they pose to human health during processing.\n19\u2009U.S. EPA, Autoliv Promontory Facility (20 June 2017), July 24, 2018.\n20\u2009Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Redacted Report: Lighting Resources LLC Explosion on March 14, 2018, August 16, 2018.\nD. Impact of Takata Bankruptcy and the Amended Preservation Order on Management of Takata Inflators 2015 Preservation Order\nA Preservation Order issued by DOT and signed by Takata in February 2015 required all recalled airbag inflators be preserved intact, except for those utilized for testing purposes. Takata was required to take all reasonable and appropriate steps designed to prevent the partial or full destruction, alteration, deletion, shredding, incineration or loss of recalled or returned inflators, ruptured inflators and any other inflators under the recalls. The recalled Takata inflators were organized into categories of inflators that must be preserved. Ruptured inflators from field events were required to be preserved in a locked, secured, climate-controlled area, except for testing, inspection or analysis purposes. Recalled or returned inflators were also to be kept in a locked, secured and climate-controlled area.\nEPA June Memorandum\nIn the June 23, 2017 memorandum, EPA clarified that the recalled Takata airbag inflators are not subject to RCRA Subtitle C regulatory requirements while they are being held under the 2015 DOT Preservation Order because EPA does not consider materials being stored pending judicial proceedings or investigations to be \u201cdiscarded.\u201d This interpretation is consistent with previous interpretations EPA has taken on similar materials, such as seized fireworks held as evidence and materials from aircraft accidents subject to investigation, where such items would otherwise be considered hazardous waste.21\u200922 Additionally, EPA clarified that Takata recalled airbag inflators would be considered \u201cused\u201d (i.e., spent materials), and therefore a solid waste, once the preservation requirements are lifted. When the recalled Takata airbag inflators are discarded as a solid waste, EPA believes that they meet both the ignitability and reactivity hazardous waste characteristics.23\n21\u2009U.S. EPA, Explosives Presenting an Immediate Safety Threat and Explosives Stored During Analysis, August 11, 1988.

Reactive waste code D003 (40 CFR 261.23(a)(6)).\nImpact of Takata Bankruptcy on Recall Procedures\nTakata's U.S. subsidiary, TK Holdings Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 25, 2017, and received U.S. court approval for its plan on February 21, 2018.24 Takata's manufacturing assets were sold to Key Safety Systems, another automobile safety system manufacturer, and the money from the sale was used to settle debts and legal claims. A small portion of the company emerged from bankruptcy and has a section dedicated to facilitating the replacement of recalled airbag inflators.25 Takata's plan sets aside funds designated for the removal, handling and eventual disposal of recalled airbag inflators received before the effective date of the bankruptcy, April 10, 2018, and states that Takata will continue to provide replacement airbag inflators until the recall process is finished, expected in 2020.26 Takata will also continue to receive recalled airbag inflators for storage prior to testing or eventual disposal after April 10, 2018, although it is not required to do so. EPA's understanding is that Takata will charge the automobile manufacturers to cover the costs associated with storage and eventual disposal of these inflators received after April 10, 2018. These costs include the overhead expenses associated with Takata managing the collection, storage, and disposal of airbag inflators, including wages and benefits for their workers that are involved in handling and coordinating the movement of the inflators. Prior to the bankruptcy effective date, Takata accepted and managed these inflators from the affected vehicle manufacturers free of charge.\n24\u2009Prime Clerk, Takata TK Holdings Inc Bankruptcy Case Information, https://restructuring.primeclerk.com/takata/Home-Index.\n25\u2009To avoid confusion, the entities responsible for managing the Takata airbag inflator recalls, including Takata's post-bankruptcy successor company TK Global, will collectively be referred to as \u201cTakata\u201d in this preamble.\n26\u2009U.S. Bankruptcy Court\u2014District of Delaware, Fifth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of TK Holdings Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors, filed February 20, 2018.\n2018 Amended Preservation Order\nThe April 12, 2018 Amendment to the February 25, 2015 Preservation Order and Testing Control Plan, issued by the U.S. DOT's NHTSA, requires Takata to preserve certain airbag inflators that are the subject of an ongoing defect investigation by NHTSA and the subject of private litigation.27 The Amendment also requires Takata to implement a control plan for the inspection, testing, or analysis of those inflators.\n27\u2009National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Amendment to the February 25, 2015 Preservation Order and Testing Order Control Plan, April 12, 2018, EA15-001 (formerly PE14-016). https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/preservation_order_amendment_public_-_april_12_2018-tag.pdf.\nThe original 2015 Preservation Order required Takata to preserve indefinitely all affected airbag inflators, while the 2018 Amendment enables Takata to reduce the number of preserved airbag inflators by requesting the release of certain inflators from the Preservation Order allowing them to be disposed in compliance with all applicable regulations, including RCRA. The Amended Order also requires Takata to account for returned foreign and other ammonium-nitrate containing inflators. The Amendment applies to Takata airbag inflators removed from vehicles as a result of recalls affecting the 19 vehicle manufacturers.\nThe terms of the Amendment require Takata to track all airbag inflators in its possession by unique serial number and set aside at least 5% of inflators, proportionate to the overall number of inflators received from each State and of each type of inflator, for future analysis. The Amendment allows Takata to submit Disposal Designations to NHTSA, identifying a specific quantity of inflators to be released from preservation and disposed. The designated inflators are considered released from the Preservation Order fifteen business days after NHTSA's confirmation of receipt of the Disposal Designation.\nAlthough the affected vehicle manufacturers may choose to contract with Takata's post-bankruptcy reorganized entity to transport and store recalled airbag inflators, they are not required to do so by the Preservation Order or Amendment. If a vehicle manufacturer chooses to contract with the Takata entity, the Takata entity must preserve those airbag inflators under the terms of the Preservation Order, and therefore those airbag inflators are not solid wastes per EPA's June 23, 2017 memorandum as described above. However, a vehicle manufacturer may choose not to contract with the Takata entity for a variety of reasons, including increased cost, increased liability, and slower disposal, in which case those airbag inflators would not be covered by the Preservation Order or Amendment, and would be considered discarded when removed from the vehicle.\nV. Rationale for Conditional Exemption for Collection of Airbag Waste\nIn its 2015 Coordinated Remedy Order pertaining to the Takata airbag recalls, DOT found that it was imperative to accelerate the rate of the recalls because \u201c[e]ach airbag inflator with the capacity to rupture, as the recalled Takata inflators do, presents an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death. . .Since the propensity for rupture increases with the age of the inflator, and increases even more when the vehicle has been exposed to consistent long-term HAH [high absolute humidity] conditions, the risk for injurious or lethal rupture increases with each passing day.\u201d\u200928\nSince the original order was issued by DOT, the affected vehicle manufacturers have been working steadily to remove the recalled Takata airbag inflators from vehicles. As discussed earlier, because of DOT's Preservation Order, the recalled airbag inflators have not been regulated as hazardous waste and have instead been safely collected, transported as hazardous materials and stored under the Preservation Order.\nWith the amendment to DOT's Preservation Order and with Takata's restructuring due to bankruptcy, vehicle manufacturers may now dispose of recalled inflators that are not covered by the amended Preservation Order directly, rather than sending them to the Takata warehouses for long-term storage. This approach is preferable from a public health and environmental protection perspective both because it reduces the volume of inflators in long-term storage and because it is more efficient in freeing up resources spent on handling and storage that can be spent directly on the recalls themselves.\nHowever, because this subset of recalled inflators is not subject to the DOT Preservation Order, they would be regulated as hazardous waste. As a result, many automobile dealers and other entities who continue to replace recalled airbag inflators at the current rate of repair would become subject to additional hazardous waste generator requirements in 40 CFR part 262, which would impose additional regulatory obligations on the dealers' and salvage vendors' management of the inflators.\nMost automobile dealers and salvage vendors are currently in the category of \u201cVery Small Quantity Generators\u201d of hazardous waste. By managing hazardous airbag waste, the dealers and salvage vendors would likely generate sufficient amounts of hazardous waste (on a monthly basis) to become subject to increased regulations associated with higher generator categories for which dealers and salvage vendors typically have not had experience, familiarity, or expertise. Imposing these increased generator obligations on dealers and salvage vendors would result in a much less efficient, effective and environmentally protective approach to the urgent, time-critical recall effort. Through our conversations with DOT, the automobile manufacturers, automotive salvage vendors, and other affected stakeholders, EPA has learned that imposing full generator requirements on automobile dealers and salvage vendors who lack the expertise and experience in managing hazardous waste might result in the slowdown, rather than the necessary acceleration, of the recall effort, resulting in greater harm to human health and the environment.29 The automobile manufacturers are worried that, because of their lack of familiarity and expertise with full RCRA hazardous waste generator regulations and the additional costs related to the management of hazardous waste in these higher generator categories, if the dealers were to become fully regulated small or large quantity generators due to handling recalled airbag waste, they may slow down or stop removing recalled airbag inflators altogether. In addition, some stakeholders have expressed their concern of a lack of hazardous waste transportation capacity, especially in more sparsely populated rural areas of the country. As hazardous waste generators, dealers would be required to use certified hazardous waste transporters, which are less numerous and more expensive than standard hazardous material transporters used to transport recalled inflators under the DOT preservation order. Thus, placing full hazardous waste generator requirements on dealers or salvage yards would not be the most efficient or environmentally protective approach for the above reasons. In contrast, as explained in the following section, an airbag waste collection facility under the control of a vehicle manufacturer or their authorized representative or under the control of an authorized party administering a remedy program in response to the recalls or a designated facility as defined in 40 CFR 260.10, has greater expertise and familiarity in properly managing hazardous waste.\n29\u2009EPA 2018. Compilation of Stakeholder Meeting Summaries Regarding RCRA Regulation of Airbag Waste.\nA related but separate issue involves airbag modules and airbag inflators scavenged from scrapped automobiles. One vendor company has been involved in the collection of Takata airbag modules from the approximately 6,000 salvage yards in the United States. The company was approached by one automobile manufacturer after they discovered a number of injuries were caused by recalled Takata airbag inflators recovered from salvage yards and installed in other vehicles. The salvage vendor worked with the automobile manufacturer, DOT, and the independent monitor to put together a program to retrieve airbag modules containing recalled airbag inflators before the inflators can be removed and placed in another vehicle because at that point, they are virtually untraceable. The vendor collects the airbag and brings them to a central location where they undergo a validation step to determine whether they are definitively recalled airbag inflators. This validation includes using visual aids and scanning all VIN and serial numbers. The vendor also supplies specifically designed packaging and handles the transportation for the airbag modules. Once a pallet of validated airbag modules is collected (approximately 100-110 pieces), the pallet is sent for disposal and a certificate of destruction is provided. The airbag modules are transported in compliance with DOT hazardous materials regulations. According to this vendor, if the airbag modules must be handled as RCRA hazardous waste when removed from a vehicle in the salvage yard, the salvage yards would likely stop removing them.\nDue to the potential for the replacement of defective Takata airbag inflators to slow down with the application of full RCRA generator requirements, EPA has determined that modified RCRA requirements are appropriate for automobile dealers, salvage yards, and other entities that are removing the recalled airbag inflators and facilitating the recalls.\nAs discussed earlier, any potential delay to the recalls presents an immediate public health threat, increasing the chances of death or serious injury due to a defective airbag deploying in a vehicle. Moreover, the system for managing the recalled airbag modules and inflators under the DOT Preservation Order over the last three years has provided for protection of human health and the environment during collection and transport of the airbag modules and inflators. Under the recalls, each individual recalled inflator is tracked by vehicle identification number, and subject to DOT packaging and transportation regulations. Vehicle manufacturers work with their dealers to make sure that the recalled inflators are quickly moved offsite and not over-accumulated, and have a strong incentive from a liability perspective to continue to do so in the future.\nThe conditions for the exemption promulgated by this rule mirror how recalled airbag modules and airbag inflators have been managed under the DOT Preservation Order during the past three years, except that instead of going to long-term storage under the Preservation Order, the collected airbag waste will be sent for safe disposal at a RCRA facility designated to receive hazardous waste per 40 CFR 260.10. Thus, exempting the collection of airbag waste from RCRA requirements, provided certain conditions are met, will result in an increase in protection of public health by facilitating the recalls, allowing the current airbag waste collection system to continue to safely collect the recalled inflators, and sending them directly to appropriate disposal facilities rather than to long-term storage facilities under the Preservation Order.\nAs previously explained in other rulemakings, EPA has authority under RCRA to issue conditional exclusions from the hazardous waste regulations. EPA has previously interpreted RCRA section 3001(a) to authorize the issuance of \u201cconditional exemptions\u201d from the requirements of RCRA Subtitle C, where it determines that \u201ca waste might pose a hazard only under limited management scenarios, and other regulatory programs already address such scenarios.\u201d 62 FR at 6636 (February 12, 1997); 66 FR at 27222-27223 (May 16, 2001). The final rule takes a similar approach to those earlier rules.\nSection 3001(a) requires that EPA decide whether a waste \u201cshould be subject to\u201d the requirements of RCRA Subtitle C. Hence, RCRA section 3001 authorizes EPA to determine when subtitle C regulation is appropriate. EPA has consistently interpreted section 3001 of RCRA to give it broad flexibility in developing criteria for hazardous wastes to enter or exit the Subtitle C regulatory system.\nRCRA section 1004(5) further supports EPA's interpretation. This interpretation has also been upheld upon judicial review. See, e.g., Military Toxics Project v. EPA, 146 F. 3d 948 (DC Cir. 1998) (upholding conditional exemption for storage of military munitions, based on EPA determination that such wastes are subject to binding standards that meet or exceed RCRA standards, in addition to an institutional oversight process.) EPA has interpreted the statutory definition of hazardous waste in RCRA section 1004(5)(B) as incorporating the idea that a waste that is otherwise hazardous does not require regulation under RCRA so long as it is properly managed.\nEPA has most recently provided a full discussion of EPA's authority for conditional exclusion from RCRA Subtitle C requirements in the preamble in its final rule entitled Hazardous Waste Management System: Conditional Exclusion for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Streams in Geologic Sequestration Activities, 79 FR 350, 353-354 (January 3, 2014). Consistent with that rule, and other rules involving conditional exemptions, EPA has determined in this rule, as discussed above, that exempting the collection of airbag waste from RCRA requirements, provided certain conditions are met, will result in an increase in protection of public health by facilitating the recalls and allowing the current airbag waste collection system to continue to safely collect the recalled inflators. It is important to note, however, that this conditional exemption only applies to the storage and transport of airbag waste during collection. The final disposition of the hazardous airbag waste continues to be regulated under applicable RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations.\nEPA has received requests from stakeholders to unconditionally exempt airbag modules and inflators from RCRA hazardous waste regulations.30 However, EPA has determined, based on the nature of the waste and the damage cases that have occurred at airbag recycling facilities, an exemption for the final disposition of airbag waste would not be protective of human health and the environment. While the collection of intact airbag modules and inflators by vehicle manufacturers or their authorized representatives according to DOT requirements can be done safely without imposing RCRA requirements beyond the conditions of the exemption discussed in this preamble, processing the airbag inflator, which requires treatment of the ignitable and reactive propellant inside the inflator, is another matter. As discussed earlier, there have been at least two explosions at airbag recycling facilities, including one that resulted in a fatality, and in the case of the recalled Takata airbag inflators, the degraded nature of the propellant makes the potential for explosive reactions even worse. The protections provided by a RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste permitted facility, including personnel training, inspections, contingency planning and emergency response, and an informed community through public participation address the risk of explosion from the end-of-life management of the collected airbag waste.\nEPA solicits comment on the conditional exemption for airbag waste, including the applicability of the exemption and the specific requirements of this conditional exemption as explained in this preamble. EPA will consider these comments in determining whether any additional revisions to the regulation of airbag waste are necessary in the future.\nVI. Summary of Requirements of the Conditional Exemption for the Collection of Airbag Waste A. Applicability of Conditional Exemption\nThe new airbag waste conditional exemption found at 40 CFR 261.4(j) applies to all airbag waste (i.e., airbag modules and airbag inflators) collected from auto dealers or other airbag waste handlers for the purpose of safe disposal. Entities that generate airbag waste under the conditional exemption are referred to as \u201cairbag waste handlers\u201d and can include automobile dealers, independent repair facilities, collision centers, and salvage and scrap yards.\nThe vast majority of items affected by the conditional exemption will be Takata airbag waste. As of August 2018, an estimated 50 million defective airbag inflators were under recall in approximately 37 million U.S. vehicles, with the potential for more recalls to be issued in the future.\nHowever, EPA has determined that the conditional exemption should also apply to the collection of non-Takata airbag waste for the purpose of disposal, provided that the conditions of the exemption are met. Managing all airbag waste under the same protective requirements will avoid confusion, increase efficiency and will help prevent non-Takata airbag waste from being diverted into the municipal waste stream. Because non-Takata airbag waste is expected to be a much smaller volume waste than the recalled Takata airbag waste, in many cases automobile dealers that generate hazardous waste would be below the Very Small Quantity Generator threshold of 100 kilograms/month, which under the federal RCRA requirements in 40 CFR 262.14 would allow the non-Takata airbag waste to be disposed of in the municipal wastestream. Including these materials under the airbag waste conditional exemption is more protective of human health and the environment because it would encourage their disposal at hazardous waste management facilities. To make it clear that VSQGs have the option of managing their airbag waste under the airbag waste conditional exemption and sending their airbag waste to an airbag waste collection facility or a designated facility subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 261.4(j), EPA is including a conforming change to the VSQG regulations at 40 CFR 262.14(a)(xi). (Note that the airbag waste conditional exemption does not prevent the airbag modules or airbag inflators from being managed under other applicable exemptions as explained in the July 2018 memo referenced in section IV.A. in this preamble) In addition, EPA also requests comment on expanding the applicability of the airbag waste exemption to include other similar propellent-actuated devices and their components. It would be helpful if commenters include detailed information on these additional wastestreams, including descriptions of the wastestreams, volumes generated, risks posed and current management practices.\nB. Limits on Accumulation Times and Quantities at Airbag Waste Handlers\nBased on information provided by automobile manufacturers, automobile dealers limit the quantity of recalled airbag modules and inflators stored onsite. According to one automobile manufacturer, guidance provided by Takata requires that dealers ship out the recalled airbag inflators that have been removed from vehicles every two weeks, or when the quantity reaches 200 inflators (i.e., a small truckload).31\n31\u2009EPA 2018. Compilation of Stakeholder Meeting Summaries Regarding RCRA Regulation of Airbag Waste, Appendix 1.\nLimiting the quantity and accumulation times at airbag waste handlers for airbag waste prevents over-accumulation and limits the potential hazards posed by the inflators in case of a fire. Under the airbag waste exemption finalized in this action, airbag waste handlers are allowed to accumulate up to 250 airbag modules or airbag inflators for up to 180 days, whichever comes first. Limiting the quantity of airbag modules and airbag inflators accumulated onsite to 250 (i.e., a little over one small truckload) allows the dealer and other airbag waste handlers to prepare one truckload for shipping while continuing to accumulate airbag waste for future shipments. The 180-day timeframe is based on the small quantity generator limits in 40 CFR 262.16, and addresses the future situation when the Takata recalls near completion, resulting in a slower turn-around in recalled inflators accumulated at the dealer. At that point it may take much longer to reach the 250-item limit, and the 180-day time limit ensures storage does not extend indefinitely, and that the airbag waste is safely disposed and not abandoned.\nC. Packaging, Labeling and Transportation Requirements for Airbag Waste Handlers\nDuring accumulation under the airbag waste exemption, airbag waste must be packaged in a container designed to address the risk posed by the airbag waste. Such a container would help reduce the potential for the airbag waste to react in case of a fire, and also reduce the projectile hazard if the defective Takata airbag inflators were to deploy. In most cases, this container would be the same container that the replacement airbag part was shipped in to the airbag handler, or, in the case of salvage yards, the container provided by the salvage recovery vendor. However, any container that meets DOT requirements for transporting the airbag items would meet the terms of the conditional exemption. Each container must be labeled \u201cAirbag Waste\u2014Do Not Reuse.\u201d\nAirbag waste must be shipped directly to either (1) a designated facility as defined in 40 CFR 260.10, or (2) an airbag waste collection facility in the United States under the control of a vehicle manufacturer or their authorized representative, or under the control of an authorized party administering a remedy program in response to a recall under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Airbag waste collection facilities may include part supply centers/parts distribution centers or any other facility authorized by vehicle manufacturers to collect their airbag waste and hold it for more than 10 days. (Airbag waste held at a transfer facility for less than 10 days is considered to be in transport and only subject to the DOT transportation regulations). Because the airbag waste is not subject to hazardous waste generator requirements under 40 CFR part 262 while at the airbag waste handler, the designated facility or the airbag waste collection facility that accepts the airbag waste from the airbag waste handler is considered the hazardous waste generator for the purposes of 40 CFR part 262 as the person whose act first causes a hazardous waste to become subject to the generator regulations.\nD. Tracking and Recordkeeping Requirements for Airbag Waste Handlers\nAs a condition for exemption from RCRA hazardous waste requirements, airbag waste handlers must maintain at the facility and make available upon inspection certain records that document off-site shipments of airbag waste for a period of three years to help verify the airbag waste went to an appropriate destination. Specifically, for each shipment of airbag waste, the handler must maintain documentation of the date of each shipment, the name of each transporter, the type and quantity of airbag waste (i.e., airbag modules or airbag inflators) shipped, and the name and address of the destination facility or airbag waste collection facility. This recordkeeping requirement may be fulfilled by ordinary business records, such as bills of lading, including electronic records. In addition, airbag waste handlers are required to maintain confirmations of receipt from the designated facility or airbag waste collection facility in order to verify that the airbag waste reached its intended destination and was not diverted. These receipts must be maintained at the airbag waste handler for a period of three years. Specifically, the airbag waste handlers must maintain documentation of receipt that includes the name and address of the designated facility or airbag waste collection facility, the type and quantity of airbag waste (i.e., airbag modules or airbag inflators) received, and the date which it was received. The Agency is not requiring a specific template or format for confirmations of receipt and anticipates that routine business records (e.g., financial records, bills of lading, copies of DOT shipping papers, electronic confirmations of receipt, etc.) could contain the appropriate information sufficient for meeting this requirement. Note that these recordkeeping requirements will be implemented under an emergency Information Collection Request (ICR). Based on the public comments received on this rule, EPA will publish a separate revised ICR. See Section VIII.C in this preamble.\nE. Prohibition on Reuse of Defective Airbag Modules and Airbag Inflators\nWhile used airbag modules and used airbag inflators are not solid waste when reused for their intended purpose, in the case of airbag modules and airbag inflators that are subject to a recall under the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, such reuse is not allowed under RCRA. Reuse of recalled Takata inflators is particularly dangerous due to the shrapnel producing defect that can cause death or serious injury when the airbag is deployed, even when the vehicle accident would otherwise be considered minor. As noted in a report by the Takata Independent Monitor, salvaged Takata inflators may pose an even greater risk than other defective Takata inflators due to possible exposure to high heat and humidity for an extended time in the scrap vehicles. In one case, a vehicle that was repaired with a salvaged Takata airbag inflator was involved in a minor accident. The resulting shrapnel from deployment of the defective resulted in serious injury to the driver. The family owning the car had no reasonable way of knowing that it contained a defective inflator.32 Any person who reuses a defective inflator or causes it to be reused may therefore be placing another person in imminent danger of death or serious injury. Such a reuse would not meet the definition of legitimate recycling in 40 CFR 260.43 and would be considered sham recycling under 40 CFR 261.2(g). Specifically, because the defective airbag modules and airbag inflators cannot serve as an effective substitute for a commercial product, and do not otherwise provide a useful contribution per 40 CFR 260.43(a)(1), their reuse is considered to be sham recycling and prohibited under the hazardous waste regulations.\n32\u2009National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), The State of Takata Airbag Recalls\u2014Report of the Independent Monitor, November 15, 2017. https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.dot.gov/files/documents/the_state_of_the_takata_airbag_recalls-report_of_the_independent_monitor_112217_v3_tag.pdf.\nVII. State Authorization A. Applicability of Rules in Authorized States\nUnder section 3006 of RCRA, EPA may authorize a qualified state to administer and enforce a hazardous waste program within the state in lieu of the federal program, and to issue and enforce permits in the state. A state may receive authorization by following the approval process described in 40 CFR 271.21 (see 40 CFR part 271 for the overall standards and requirements for authorization). EPA continues to have independent authority to bring enforcement actions under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003. An authorized state also continues to have independent authority to bring enforcement actions under state law.\nAfter a state receives initial authorization, new federal requirements and prohibitions promulgated under RCRA authority existing prior to the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) do not apply in that state until the state adopts and receives authorization for equivalent state requirements. In contrast, under RCRA section 3006(g) (42 U.S.C. 6926(g)), new federal requirements and prohibitions promulgated under HSWA provisions take effect in authorized states at the same time that they take effect in unauthorized states. As such, EPA carries out the HSWA requirements and prohibitions in authorized states, including the issuance of new permits implementing those requirements, until EPA authorizes the state to do so.\nAuthorized states are required to modify their programs only when EPA enacts federal requirements that are more stringent or broader in scope than existing federal requirements. Under RCRA section 3009, states may impose standards that are more stringent or broader in scope than those in the federal program (see also 40 CFR 271.1(i)). Therefore, authorized states are not required to adopt new federal regulations that are considered less stringent than previous federal regulations or that narrow the scope of the RCRA program. Previously authorized hazardous waste regulations would continue to apply in those states that do not adopt \u201cderegulatory\u201d rules.\nB. Effect on State Authorization of Interim Final Rule\nThe regulations finalized in this interim final rule are not promulgated under the authority of HSWA. Thus, the standards will be applicable on the effective date only in those states that do not have final authorization of their base RCRA programs. Moreover, authorized states are required to modify their programs only when EPA promulgates federal regulations that are more stringent or broader in scope than the authorized state regulations. For those changes that are less stringent, states are not required to modify their program. Pursuant to section 3009 of RCRA, states may impose more stringent regulations than the federal program. This rule eliminates specific hazardous waste requirements that would otherwise apply to airbag waste (airbag modules and airbag inflators) managed under the conditional exemption, and therefore, these changes are less stringent than the federal program and authorized states are not required to adopt them. However, if a state were, through implementation of state waiver authorities or other state laws, to allow compliance with the provisions of the conditional exemption in advance of adoption or authorization, EPA would not generally consider such implementation a concern for purposes of enforcement or state authorization. Of course, the state could not implement the requirements in a way that was less stringent than the federal requirements in this rule.\nVIII. Statutory and Executive Order (E.O.) Reviews A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review & Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review\nThis action is a significant regulatory action that was submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. This rule has been determined significant because it raises novel legal or policy issues arising out of a legal mandate, the President's priorities or the principles set forth in the Executive Order. Any changes made in response to OMB recommendations have been documented in the docket. The EPA prepared an economic analysis of the potential costs and benefits associated with this action. This analysis, \u201cEconomic Assessment of the Safe Management of Recalled Airbags Rule\u201d, is available in the docket. This analysis estimates the impacts of the rule relative to two separate baseline scenarios. The first baseline scenario assumes that all aspects of the Preservation Order established between Takata and the Department of Transportation in February 2015 and amended in April 2018 will remain in effect until the completion of the recall process. The alternative baseline scenario assumes the removal of the Preservation Order provisions that allow dealerships to disregard the volume of recalled airbag inflators when determining their hazardous waste generator status (e.g., LQG) under RCRA. For each baseline and for the rule, EPA created a monthly schedule in order to estimate the number of airbag inflators shipped, accumulated, and disposed of by affected entities. EPA then assigned unit costs for storage, transport, management, and disposal of airbag inflators for each scenario to estimate the cost savings associated with this regulation. The cost impacts of the rule were then calculated as the difference between post-rule costs and costs under each baseline scenario. In summary, this regulatory action is expected to result in a total cost savings between $7.6 million and $56.9. million for the duration of the Takata recalls, resulting in an estimated annual cost savings of $1.7 million to $13.0 million per year (discounted at 7%).\nThe information collection activities in this rule have been granted emergency approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the PRA. The Information Collection Request (ICR) that has been approved by OMB was assigned EPA ICR number 2589.02 and OMB Control Number 2050-0221. You can find a copy of the ICR in the docket for this rule, and it is briefly summarized here.\nThe collection of information is necessary in order to ensure that the hazardous waste airbag modules and airbag inflators exempted under this rule are safely disposed of and that defective airbag modules and airbag inflators are not reinserted into vehicles where they would pose an unreasonable risk of death or serious injury. Information collection activities include requiring affected entities maintain copies of shipping records and confirmations of receipt for three years.\nIn addition to the emergency ICR which will implement the requirements for up to six months, EPA is also developing an ICR based on comments received on this rulemaking. Towards this goal, pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.\nRespondents/affected entities: The respondents will primarily be composed of automobile dealerships. These dealerships fall under NAICS code 441: Motor Vehicle and Parts Dealers.\nRespondent's obligation to respond: The recordkeeping requirements for the interim final rule consist of maintaining at the airbag handler for no less than three years records of (1) all off-site shipments and (2) confirmations of receipt of airbag waste. The recordkeeping requirements may be fulfilled by ordinary business records, such as bills of lading, and are intended to allow the Agency to verify that the airbag waste reaches its intended destination and is not diverted back into vehicles. The statutory authority to require the recordkeeping activities derives from sections 2002, 3001, 3002, 3003, 3004, 3006, 3010, and 3017 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act of 1965, as amended by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA).\nEstimated number of respondents: EPA estimates that there will be 15,256 respondents per year.\nFrequency of response: EPA estimates that average facility will make 3 relevant shipments per year over a 5-year period. The facilities must retain documentation for each shipment.\nAn agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for the EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. When OMB approves this ICR, the Agency will announce that approval in the Federal Register and publish a technical amendment to 40 CFR part 9 to display the OMB control number for the approved information collection activities contained in this final rule.\nThis action is not subject to the RFA. The RFA applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. The APA exempts from notice and comment requirements rules for which an Agency finds \u201cfor good cause\u201d that notice and an opportunity to comment are \u201cimpracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.\u201d The Agency is invoking this exemption to address exigent public health issues associated with the Takata airbag recalls.\nThis action does not have tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. This action does not have substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.\nSection 5-502 of Executive Order 13045 provides that in emergency situations, or where the Agency is required by law to act more quickly than normal review procedures allow, the Agency shall comply with the Executive Order to the extent practicable. This action is being issued under a good cause exemption of notice and comment rulemaking under the APA to address an emergency situation associated with defective airbag inflators and risks to public health. The rule will remove potential regulatory impediments associated with the Takata airbag recalls. The recalls address explosion risks associated with faulty airbag deployment which could cause (and have caused) serious harm to passengers in vehicles, including children.\nThis action is not a \u201csignificant energy action\u201d because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy. This rulemaking simply removes potential regulatory impediments associated with the Takata airbag recalls; therefore, by itself, this rulemaking will not have any effect on the supply, distribution or use of energy.\nThe EPA believes that this action is not subject to Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) because the rule increases protection of human health and the environment by removing potential regulatory impediments associated with the Takata airbag recalls while ensuring safe management and disposal of airbag waste. The recalls address explosion risks associated with faulty airbag deployment which could cause (and have caused) serious harm to passengers, including passengers from minority and low-income communities.\nM. Congressional Review Act\nThis action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. The CRA allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and comment rulemaking procedures are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest (5 U.S.C. 808(2)). The EPA has made a good cause finding for this rule as discussed in Section I.B. of this preamble, including the basis for that finding.\nEnvironmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure, Definitions, Hazardous waste.\nEnvironmental protection, Hazardous waste, Recycling, Solid waste.\nEnvironmental protection, Hazardous waste, Generator Standards.\nDated: November 13, 2018.

On June 5, 2018, HHS published a final rule that delayed the effective date of the 340B ceiling price and civil monetary rule until July 1, 2019, to consider alternative and supplemental regulatory provisions and to allow for sufficient time for additional rulemaking. On November 2, 2018, HHS issued a proposed rule to solicit comments to change the effective date from July 1, 2019, to January 1, 2019, and to cease any further delay of the rule. HHS proposed this action because it determined that the January 5, 2017, final rule has been subject to extensive public comment, and had been delayed several times. HHS has considered the full range of comments on the substantive issues in the January 5, 2017, final rule. After consideration of the comments received on the effective date of the proposed rule, HHS is changing the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule, to January 1, 2019.\nThe effective date of the final rule published in the Federal Register on January 5, 2017, at 82 FR 1210, and delayed March 6, 2017 at 82 FR 12508, March 20, 2017 at 82 FR 14332, May 19, 2017 at 82 FR 22893, September 29, 2017 at 82 FR 45511, and June 5, 2018 at 83 FR 25944, is changed to January 1, 2019.\nHHS published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in June 2015 to implement civil monetary penalties (CMPs) for manufacturers who knowingly and intentionally charge a covered entity more than the ceiling price for a covered outpatient drug; to provide clarity regarding the requirement that manufacturers calculate the 340B ceiling price on a quarterly basis and how the ceiling price is to be calculated; and to establish the requirement that a manufacturer charge a $.01 (penny pricing policy) for drugs when the ceiling price calculation equals zero (80 FR 34583, June 17, 2015). The public comment period closed on August 17, 2015, and HRSA received 35 comments.\nAfter review of the initial comments, HHS reopened the comment period (81 FR 22960, April 19, 2016) to invite additional comments on the following areas of the NPRM: 340B ceiling price calculations that result in a ceiling price that equals zero (penny pricing); the methodology that manufacturers use when estimating the ceiling price for a new covered outpatient drug; and the definition of the \u201cknowing and intentional\u201d standard to be applied when assessing a CMP for manufacturers that overcharge a covered entity. The comment period closed May 19, 2016, and HHS received 72 comments.\nOn January 5, 2017, HHS published a final rule in the Federal Register (82 FR 1210, January 5, 2017). Comments from both the NPRM and the reopening notification were considered in the development of the final rule. The provisions of that rule were to be effective March 6, 2017; however, through a series of rules, HHS delayed the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule until July 1, 2019 (83 FR 25943, June 5, 2018). On November 2, 2018, HHS issued a proposed rule (83 FR 55135) to cease any further delay of the January 5, 2017, final rule and to change the effective date from July 1, 2019, to January 1, 2019. HHS received a number of comments both supporting and opposing the delay. After consideration of the comments received, HHS has decided to change the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule to January 1, 2019. The substantive provisions included in the January 5, 2017, final rule were subject to extensive public comment, and have been delayed several times. HHS has considered the full range of comments on the substantive issues in the January 5, 2017, final rule.\nIn previous rulemaking, delaying the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule, HHS stated that it \u201cis developing new comprehensive policies to address the rising costs of prescription drugs. These policies will address drug pricing in government programs, such as Medicare Parts B & D, Medicaid, and the 340B Program. Due to the development of these comprehensive policies, we are delaying the effective date for the January 5, 2017, final rule to July 1, 2019.\u201d (83 FR 25944)\nHowever, as explained in the proposed rule, HHS has determined that the finalization of the 340B ceiling price and civil monetary penalty rule will not interfere with HHS's development of these comprehensive policies. Accordingly, HHS no longer believes a delay in the effective date is necessary and is changing the effective date of the rule from July 1, 2019, to January 1, 2019. The implementation date and the effective date will be the same.\nIn the NPRM, HHS solicited comments to change the effective date from July 1, 2019, to January 1, 2019, and cease any further delay of the rule. HHS received approximately 160 comments, which contained a number of issues from covered entities, manufacturers, and groups representing these stakeholders. In this final rule, HHS will only respond to comments related to whether HHS should change the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule to January 1, 2019. HHS did not consider and does not address comments that raised issues beyond the narrow scope of the NPRM, including comments related to broader policy matters. HHS has summarized the relevant comments received and provided its responses below.\nComment: Some commenters urge HHS not to change the effective date to January 1, 2019, and to further delay the rule to refocus the 340B Program on its mission, and issue new reforms. Commenters also express concern that the new ceiling price system has not yet been released, substantive guidance on the system has not been issued, and stakeholders will not have had an opportunity to gain experience in the system before the enforcement mechanism for the system becomes effective. These commenters recommend that HHS delay implementation until it rolls out the new ceiling price system in a thoughtful manner. Finally, the commenters state that first issuing substantive guidance on the new pricing system would be more consistent with fundamental fairness in a civil penalty enforcement context, inasmuch as program stakeholders should understand their substantive obligations and the timeframes for compliance prior to any enforcement activity.\nResponse: HHS does not believe that the issuance of additional guidance is needed in order to implement this final rule. Current policies under the 340B Program already provide stakeholders with sufficient guidance regarding programmatic compliance. More specifically, the January 5, 2017, final rule contains information related to the calculation of the 340B ceiling price and the imposition of CMPs against manufacturers who knowingly and intentionally overcharge a covered entity. In addition, the development of the 340B ceiling price reporting system has proceeded under a separate information collection request (ICR) process that is operational in nature and has not been contingent upon the specific provisions contained in the January 5, 2017, final rule. The ICR was submitted and approved by OMB on September 28, 2015, after a formal notice and comment process (80 FR 22207, April 21, 2015, OMB No. 0915-0327). HHS plans to release the 340B ceiling pricing reporting system shortly and HHS will communicate further information through its website. HRSA will also ensure all impacted stakeholders receive education and training to prepare to utilize the 340B ceiling price reporting system.\nComment: Commenters disagree with HHS that changing the effective date of the rule is necessary. Commenters also disagree that HHS has meaningfully responded to comments or considered the full range of comments on the substantive issues in the January 5, 2017, final rule, despite the rule being delayed several times. Commenters urge HHS to fully reconsider substantive comments on the January 5, 2017, final rule as the rule contains several policies that are inconsistent with the 340B statute and imposes unnecessary costs and needless administrative burdens on manufacturers.\nResponse: HHS has decided to change the effective date of the final rule to January 1, 2019, as the rule has been subject to extensive public comment. HHS believes that it has had adequate time to consider comments on the substantive issues in the January 5, 2017, final rule. The rule is consistent with the 340B statute. HHS has the statutory authority under section 340B(d)(1)(B)(i)(I) of the PHSA to develop and publish through appropriate policy or regulatory issuance, the precisely defined standards and methodology for the calculation of 340B ceiling prices. HHS has undertaken the effort to issue the January 5, 2017, final rule to comply with this statutory provision. Section 340(d)(1)(B)(vi) of the PHSA also provides for the imposition of sanctions in the form of civil monetary penalties against manufacturers that knowingly and intentionally charge a covered entity a price for a 340B drug that exceeds the 340B ceiling price. HHS believes that CMPs provide a critical enforcement mechanism for HHS if manufacturers do not comply with statutory pricing obligations under the 340B Program.\nComment: Some commenters express concern that HHS has not provided an adequate rationale for its change of view on the need for additional rulemaking and HHS has not released information related to the \u201ccomprehensive policies\u201d that it has suggested it intends to promulgate. The commenters explain that HHS made a decision to change course and put the Final Rule into effect before it has fully analyzed and explained to the public its conclusions on key issues it identified as requiring further consideration. The commenters contend that this contradicts the deliberative rulemaking principles at the heart of the Administrative Procedures Act.\nResponse: The effective date of the final rule, for which comments were collected multiple times, has now been delayed for almost two years. It has now been more than eight years since Congress instructed HHS to issue regulations concerning CMPs. The issues that HHS was examining are well documented in the January 5, 2017, final rule. Furthermore, HHS does not believe that a January 1, 2019, effective date will undermine the comprehensive policies under consideration within the Department to address rising drug prices. Given the significant delays, HHS feels that it would be more efficient for the rule to go into effect and assess the need for further rulemaking and guidance after the rule is in effect.\nComment: Some commenters express concern that HHS has not fully considered any new comprehensive policies that will curb the rising cost of drug prices and the 340B Program's impact on those rising prices. The commenters state that in previous rulemaking, HHS has stated that it would be counterproductive to effectuate the final rule prior to a more deliberative process of considering additional or alternative drug reform measures as HHS is in the process of developing new comprehensive policies to address the rising cost of prescription drugs, not limited to the 340B Program. These comments also explain that there is no basis for HHS to suddenly move up the effective date by six months and there is no material development that rationally justifies HHS's change of view on the need for additional rulemaking. They urge HHS to further delay until additional rulemaking is completed, as opposed to specifying a date certain.\nResponse: HHS disagrees with the commenters. HHS has issued several policies related to lowering prescription drug prices, particularly in the Medicare Program. HHS also notes that as previously discussed in other rulemaking related to this issue, HHS continues to explore other policy documents related to drug pricing in government programs, including the 340B Program.\nIn addition, commenters have not demonstrated that the finalization of the January 5, 2017, final rule would interfere with HHS's development of these comprehensive policies. As such, HHS does not believe that any further delay is necessary and is changing the effective date of the final rule from July 1, 2019, to January 1, 2019.\nThe effective date of the final rule has been delayed for nearly two years, which has provided affected entities more than enough time to prepare for its requirements.\nComment: Several commenters urge HHS to specify that the January 5, 2017, final rule's effective date is at least two quarters after the final rule's publication in the Federal Register. These commenters raise that in the January 5, 2017, final rule, HHS explicitly noted that the implementation date would be April 1, 2017, the beginning of the next quarter thereby providing a full quarter for implementation. They believe that HHS should follow the same logic here and anticipate publication of a final rule around January 1, 2019, with implementation coinciding with the beginning of the second quarter of 2019, April 1, 2019. They contend that many companies have not completed operational and other process changes because manufacturers fully expected that HHS would revisit the rule and address the rule's significant infirmities. These commenters raise that HHS previously indicated that it would delay the January 5, 2017, final rule to July 1, 2019, and an abrupt change such as this, with fewer than 60 days to implement, makes it difficult for companies\u2014particularly smaller manufacturers\u2014to upgrade their operational systems in time to ensure compliance with the rule. These commenters explain that there is no precedent where the established effective date of a rule imposing substantial compliance burdens on regulated parties was accelerated. Finally, these commenters state that reducing the effective date by six months will negatively affect their ability to come into compliance, which could be compounded by the implementation of the CMP provisions.\nResponse: Based on the review of the comments received, HHS has determined that the January 5, 2017, final rule will be effective January 1, 2019. The implementation date and the effective date will be the same. Unlike the previous rule, which was effective in the middle of a quarter, this rule is effective at the beginning of a quarter. HHS does not agree that a further delay is necessary for implementation. Manufacturers that offer 340B ceiling prices as of the quarter beginning January 1, 2019, must comply with the requirements of the January 5, 2017, final rule. HHS believes that since the January 5, 2017, final rule was issued, stakeholders have had sufficient time to adjust systems and update their policies and procedures.\nComment: Some commenters urge HHS to publish the ceiling price data on a secure website shortly after January 1, 2019, because the website is essential for effective enforcement of the 340B Program. These commenters explain that entities have no way of detecting overcharges and are at the mercy of manufacturers.\nResponse: While the ceiling price reporting system is not directly governed by this rule, HHS agrees that covered entities will be able to utilize the system to detect overcharges. As previously stated, the 340B ceiling pricing reporting system is forthcoming, and HHS will convey further updates through its website. HRSA will ensure all impacted stakeholders receive education and training on how to utilize the system.\nComment: Many commenters supported changing the effective date to January 1, 2019, and stated that any other delay would be unreasonable and would continue to reward manufacturers that are flouting ceiling price requirements. The commenters urge HHS to promptly enforce the final rule in order to bring drug companies into compliance and to ensure that 340B providers are able to \u201cstretch scarce federal resources as far as possible, reaching more eligible patients and providing more comprehensive services\u201d as Congress intended. The commenters state that the rule is entirely consistent with HHS's stated goal of addressing the issue of the rising costs of prescription drugs. These commenters also explain that CMPs are an important deterrent to manufacturers who knowingly overcharge entities and initiatives to strengthen manufacturer transparency should be supported.\nResponse: For reasons stated above, HHS agrees with the commenters that any other delay is unreasonable and will change the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule, to January 1, 2019.\nHHS has examined the effects of this final rule as required by Executive Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning and Review (September 30, 1993), Executive Order 13563 on Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review (January 8, 2011), the Regulatory Flexibility Act (September 19, 1980, Pub. L. 96-354), the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4), and Executive Order 13132 on Federalism (August 4, 1999).\nExecutive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 is supplemental to and reaffirms the principles, structures, and definitions governing regulatory review as established in Executive Order 12866, emphasizing the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting flexibility.\nSection 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 defines a \u201csignificant regulatory action\u201d as an action that is likely to result in a rule: (1) Having an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more in any 1 year, or adversely and materially affecting a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or state, local, or tribal governments or communities (also referred to as \u201ceconomically significant\u201d); (2) creating a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfering with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) materially altering the budgetary impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or (4) raising novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in the Executive Order. A regulatory impact analysis (RIA) must be prepared for major rules with economically significant effects ($100 million or more in any 1 year), and a \u201csignificant\u201d regulatory action is subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).\nHHS does not believe that this final rule to change the effective date of the January 5, 2017, final rule from July 1, 2019, to January 1, 2019, will have an economic impact of $100 million or more in any 1 year, and is therefore not designated as an \u201ceconomically significant\u201d final rule under section 3(f)(1) of Executive Order 12866. The 340B Program as a whole creates significant savings for entities purchasing drugs through the program, with total purchases estimated to be $19 billion in CY 2017. This final rule to implement the January 5, 2017, final rule would codify current policies regarding calculation of the 340B ceiling price and manufacturer civil monetary penalties. HHS does not anticipate that the imposition of civil monetary penalties would result in significant economic impact.\nWhen the 2017 Rule was finalized, it was described as not economically significant. Therefore, changing the effective date of the 2017 Rule is also not likely to have an economically significant impact.\nSpecifically, the RIA for the 2017 Rule stated that, \u201c[. . .]manufacturers are required to ensure they do not overcharge covered entities, and a civil monetary penalty could result from overcharging if it met the standards in this final rule. HHS envisions using these penalties in rare situations. Since the Program's inception, issues related to overcharges have been resolved between a manufacturer and a covered entity and any issues have generally been due to technical errors in the calculation. For the penalties to be used as defined in the statute and in this [2017] rule, the manufacturer overcharge would have to be the result of a knowing and intentional act. Based on anecdotal information received from covered entities, HHS anticipates that this would occur very rarely if at all.\u201d Since the civil penalties envisioned in the 2017 Rule were expected to be rare, changing the effective date of these civil penalties is unlikely to have an economically significant impact.\nExecutive Order 13771 (January 30, 2017) requires that the costs associated with significant new regulations \u201cto the extent permitted by law, be offset by the elimination of existing costs associated with at least two prior regulations.\u201d This rule is not subject to the requirements of Executive Order 13771 because this rule results in no more than de minimis costs.\nThe final rule would affect drug manufacturers (North American Industry Classification System code 325412: Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing). The small business size standard for drug manufacturers is 750 employees. Approximately 600 drug manufacturers participate in the Program. While it is possible to estimate the impact of the final rule on the industry as a whole, the data necessary to project changes for specific manufacturers or groups of manufacturers were not available, as HRSA does not collect the information necessary to assess the size of an individual manufacturer that participates in the 340B Program. For purposes of the RFA, HHS considers all health care providers to be small entities either by virtue of meeting the Small Business Administration (SBA) size standard for a small business, or for being a nonprofit organization that is not dominant in its market. The current SBA size standard for health care providers ranges from annual receipts of $7 million to $35.5 million. As of January 1, 2017, over 12,000 covered entities participate in the 340B Program, which represent safety-net healthcare providers across the country. HHS has determined, and the Secretary certifies that this final rule will not have a significant impact on the operations of a substantial number of small manufacturers; therefore, we are not preparing an analysis of impact for the purposes of this RFA. HHS estimates that the economic impact on small entities and small manufacturers will be minimal and less than 3 percent.\nHHS has reviewed this final rule in accordance with Executive Order 13132 regarding federalism, and has determined that it does not have \u201cfederalism implications.\u201d This rule would not \u201chave substantial direct effects on the States, or on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.\u201d The proposal to rescind the June 5, 2018, final rule and make the January 5, 2017, final rule effective as of January 1, 2019, would not adversely affect the following family elements: Family safety, family stability, marital commitment; parental rights in the education, nurture, and supervision of their children; family functioning, disposable income or poverty; or the behavior and personal responsibility of youth, as determined under Section 654(c) of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act of 1999.\nThe Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) requires that OMB approve all collections of information by a Federal agency from the public before they can be implemented. This final rule is projected to have no impact on current reporting and recordkeeping burden for manufacturers under the 340B Program. Changes finalized in this rule would result in no new reporting burdens.\nDated: November 27, 2018. George Sigounas, Administrator, Health Resources and Services Administration.

The corrected date is January 2, 2019.\nEffective date: This correction is effective November 29, 2018.\nComment period: To be assured consideration, comments on the payment classifications assigned to the interim APC assignments and/or status indicators of new or replacement Level II HCPCS codes in FR Doc. 2018-24243 of November 21, 2018 (83 FR 58818), must be received at one of the addresses provided in the ADDRESSES section no later than 5 p.m. EST on January 2, 2019.\nIn FR Doc. 2018-24243 of November 21, 2018 (83 FR 58818), entitled \u201cMedicare Program: Changes to Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment and Ambulatory Surgical Center Payment Systems and Quality Reporting Programs\u201d (hereinafter referred to as the CY 2019 OPPS/ASC final rule with comment period), there was an error that is identified and corrected in the Correction of Errors section below.\nOn page 58818, we made an error in the DATES section under the heading \u201cComment period.\u201d We inadvertently stated that comments on the payment classifications assigned to the interim Medicare Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) assignments and/or status indicators of new or replacement Level II Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes in the final rule with comment period must be received no later than 5 p.m. EST on December 3, 2018. The corrected date is January 2, 2019, 60 days from the date of filing for public inspection.\nUnder 5 U.S.C. 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the agency is required to publish a notice of the proposed rule in the Federal Register before the provisions of a rule take effect. Similarly, section 1871(b)(1) of the Act requires the Secretary to provide for notice of the proposed rule in the Federal Register and provide a period of not less than 60 days for public comment. In addition, section 553(d) of the APA and section 1871(e)(1)(B)(i) mandate a 30-day delay in effective date after issuance or publication of a rule. Sections 553(b)(B) and 553(d)(3) of the APA provide for exceptions from the notice and comment and delay in effective date of the APA requirements; in cases in which these exceptions apply, sections 1871(b)(2)(C) and 1871(e)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act provide exceptions from the notice and 60-day comment period and delay in effective date requirements of the Act as well. Section 553(b)(B) of the APA and section 1871(b)(2)(C) of the Act authorize an agency to dispense with normal rulemaking requirements for good cause if the agency makes a finding that the notice and comment process is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. In addition, both section 553(d)(3) of the APA and section 1871(e)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act allow the agency to avoid the 30-day delay in effective date where such delay is contrary to the public interest and an agency includes a statement of support.\nWe believe that this correcting document does not constitute a rulemaking that would be subject to these requirements. This correcting document corrects a technical error in the preamble to the CY 2019 OPPS/ASC final rule with comment period but does not make substantive changes to the policies or payment methodologies that were adopted in the final rule. Rather, it is intended to ensure that the public has 60 days to comment on the payment classifications assigned to the interim APC assignments and/or status indicators of new or replacement Level II HCPCS codes in the CY 2019 OPPS/ASC final rule with comment period, which is the duration of the typical comment period on these topics.\nIn addition, even if this were a rulemaking to which the notice and comment procedures and delayed effective date requirements applied, we find that there is good cause to waive such requirements. Undertaking further notice and comment procedures to incorporate the correction in this document into the final rule or delaying the effective date would be contrary to the public interest because it is in the public's interest to have adequate time to comment on the payment classifications assigned to the interim APC assignments and/or status indicators of new or replacement Level II HCPCS codes included in the CY 2019 OPPS/ASC final rule with comment period.\nFurthermore, such procedures would be unnecessary, as we are not altering our payment methodologies or policies, but rather, we are simply correcting the incorrect comment period end date. This correcting document is intended solely to ensure that the comment period end date included in the CY 2019 OPPS/ASC final rule with comment period is correct for those items on which the public can submit public comments. For these reasons, we believe we have good cause to waive the notice and comment and effective date requirements.\nIn FR Doc. 2018-24243 of November 21, 2018 (83 FR 58818), make the following corrections:\n1. On page 58818, in the second column, in the DATES section, under the heading \u201cComment Period,\u201d correct \u201cDecember 3, 2018\u201d to read \u201cJanuary 2, 2019\u201d.\nDated: November 26, 2018.

[FR Doc. 2018-26079 Filed 11-29-18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4120-01-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 50 CFR Part 648 [Docket No. 151211999-6343-02] RIN 0648-XG607 Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Northeast Multispecies Fishery; Georges Bank Cod Trip Limit Adjustment for the Common Pool Fishery AGENCY:\nThis action adjusts the possession and trip limits of Georges Bank cod for Northeast multispecies common pool vessels for the remainder of the 2018 fishing year, in order to ensure that the common pool fishery is able to harvest, but not exceed, its annual quota for the stock. These changes are intended to provide the common pool fishery with additional fishing opportunities.\nThese possession and trip limit adjustment are effective November 29, 2018, through April 30, 2019.\nPossession and Trip Limit Increase for Georges Bank Cod\nThe regulations at \u00a7\u2009648.86(o) authorize the Regional Administrator to adjust the possession and trip limits for common pool vessels in order to help avoid the overharvest or underharvest of the common pool quotas.\nBased on information reported through October 13, 2018, the common pool fishery has caught 5,797 lb (2.6 mt) of Georges Bank (GB) cod, or approximately 11 percent of its 53,374 lb (24.2 mt) annual quota. At the current rate of fishing, the common pool fishery is not projected to fully harvest its annual quota for the stock by the end of the 2018 fishing year. A moderate increase in the possession and trip limits for the stock will provide additional opportunities with little risk of exceeding the common pool quota of the stock.\nEffective November 29, 2018, the possession and trip limit of GB cod is increased, as summarized in Table 1. Common pool groundfish vessels that have declared their trip through the vessel monitoring system (VMS) or interactive voice response system, and crossed the VMS demarcation line prior to November 29, 2018, may land at the new possession and trip limits for that trip.\nTable 1\u2014Current and New Possession and Trip Limits for GB Cod Permit type Current possession/trip limits New possession/trip limits Day-At-Sea (DAS) 100 lb (45.4 kg) per DAS, up to 200 lb (90.7 kg) per trip (Outside of the Eastern U.S./Canada Area)\n100 lb (45.4 kg) per DAS, up to 500 lb (226.8 kg) per trip (Inside the Eastern U.S./Canada Area)\n250 lb (113.4 kg) per DAS, up to 500 lb (226.8 kg) per trip. Handgear A 100 lb (45.4 kg) per trip 250 lb (113.4 kg) per trip. Handgear B 25 lb (11.3 kg) per trip unchanged. Small Vessel Category\u2009* 100 lb (45.4 kg) per trip 250 lb (113.4 kg) per trip. *\u2009The Small Vessel Category trip limit of 300 lb of cod, yellowtail flounder, and haddock combined remains in place. Reduction of the GB Cod Trip Limit in the Closed Area II Haddock Special Access Program\nThe projection supporting the increase of the common pool possession and trip limits for GB cod is based on the assumption that the common pool fleet fishes primarily within the Western U.S./Canada area, outside of any Special Access Programs (SAPs), as it has done for several years. As described in 50 CFR 648.85(b), SAPs are established to authorize specific fisheries to allow increased yield of certain target stocks without undermining the achievement of the goals of the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan. The Closed Area II Haddock SAP (CA2 SAP) has a limit of 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) per trip of GB cod, which is double the GB cod trip limit for common pool vessels not participating in the SAPs.\nUnder a worst-case scenario projection, the common pool fleet could take up to 12 trips within the CA2 SAP at 1,000 lb (453.6 kg) per trip. In this scenario, the common pool could potentially land the entire common pool Eastern GB cod sub-ACL of 11,500 lb (5.2 mt), and could substantially contribute to exceeding the entire common pool GB cod sub-ACL.\nIn order to avoid this worst case scenario that would contribute to the common pool exceeding its quotas, effective November 29, 2018, the trip limit of GB cod for common pool vessels participating in the CA2 SAP is set to 500 lb (226.8 kg) per trip. In addition, this change may help avoid confusion and facilitate enforcement by making the CA2 SAP GB cod trip limit consistent with other common pool limits for the stock.\nCommon pool groundfish vessels participating in the affected SAPs that have declared their trip through the vessel monitoring system (VMS) or interactive voice response system, and crossed the VMS demarcation line prior to November 29, 2018, are not subject new possession and trip limits for that trip.\nWeekly quota monitoring reports for the common pool fishery can be found on our website at: http://www.greateratlantic.fisheries.noaa.gov/ro/fso/MultiMonReports.htm. We will continue to monitor common pool catch through vessel trip reports, dealer-reported landings, VMS catch reports, and other available information and, if necessary, we will make additional adjustments to common pool management measures.\nThe catch data used as the basis for this action only recently became available. The available analysis indicates that the increased possession and trip limit adjustments for GB cod will help the fishery achieve the optimum yield (OY) for this stock. Any delay in this action would limit the benefits to common pool vessels that this action is intended to provide.\nThe decrease in the CA2 SAP trip limit reduces the low likelihood of overages should vessels participate in the CA2 SAP. An overage of the common pool quota for this stock would undermine conservation objectives and trigger the implementation of accountability measures that could reduce available catch in the next fishing year, which would have negative economic impacts on the common pool fishery.\nThe time necessary to provide for prior notice and comment, and a 30-day delay in effectiveness, would keep NMFS from implementing the necessary possession and trip limit changes in a timely manner, which could prevent the fishery from achieving the OY and cause negative economic impacts to the common pool fishery.\nDated: November 26, 2018.

Background information and documents are available at NMFS' West Coast Region website at www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov/fisheries/management/whiting/pacific_whiting.html\nBackground Pacific Whiting\nPacific whiting (Merluccius productus) is a very productive species with highly variable recruitment (the biomass of fish that mature and enter the fishery each year) and a relatively short life span when compared to other groundfish species. Pacific whiting has the largest annual allowable harvest levels (by volume) of the more than 90 groundfish species managed under the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP), which governs the groundfish fishery off Washington, Oregon, and California. The coastwide Pacific whiting stock is managed jointly by the United States and Canada, and mature Pacific whiting are commonly available to vessels operating in U.S. waters from April through December. Background on the stock assessment, and the establishment of the 2018 Total Allowable Catch (TAC), for Pacific whiting was provided in the final rule for the 2018 Pacific whiting harvest specifications, published May 15, 2018 (83 FR 22401). Pacific whiting is allocated to the Pacific Coast treaty tribes (tribal fishery) and to three non-tribal commercial sectors: The catcher/processor cooperative (C/P Coop), the mothership cooperative (MS Coop), and the Shorebased Individual Fishery Quota (IFQ) Program.\nThis document announces the reapportionment of 40,000 metric tons (mt) of Pacific whiting from the tribal allocation to the non-tribal commercial sectors on September 24, 2018. Regulations at 50 CFR 660.131(h) contain provisions that allow the Regional Administrator to reapportion Pacific whiting from the tribal allocation, specified at 50 CFR 660.50, that will not be harvested by the end of the fishing year to other sectors.\nPacific Whiting Reapportionment\nFor 2018, the Pacific Coast treaty tribes were allocated 77,251 mt of Pacific whiting. The best available information on September 24, 2018, indicated that less than 5,000 mt of the 2018 allocation had been harvested, and at least 40,000 mt of the tribal allocation would not be harvested by December 31, 2018. To allow for increased utilization of the resource, on September 24, 2018, NMFS reapportioned 40,000 mt from the Tribal sector to the Shorebased IFQ Program, C/P Coop, and MS Coop in proportion to each sector's original allocation. Reapportioning this amount is expected to allow for greater attainment of the TAC while not limiting tribal harvest opportunities for the remainder of the year. NMFS provided notice of the reapportionment on September 24, 2018, via emails sent directly to fishing businesses and individuals, and postings on the NMFS West Coast Region website. Reapportionment was effective the same day as the notice.\nThe amounts of Pacific whiting available for 2018 before and after the reapportionment are described in the table below.\nSector Initial 2018\nTribal 77,251 37,251 C/P Coop 123,312 136,912 MS Coop 87,044 96,644 Shorebased IFQ Program 152,326.5 169,127 Classification\nNOAA's Assistant Administrator for Fisheries (AA) finds that good cause exists for this notification to be issued without affording prior notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), because such notification would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. As previously noted, NMFS provided actual notice of the reapportionment to fishery participants at the time of the action. Prior notice and opportunity for public comment on this reapportionment was impracticable because NMFS had insufficient time to provide prior notice between the time the information about the progress of the fishery needed to make this determination became available and the time at which fishery modifications had to be implemented in order to allow fishers access to the available fish during the remainder of the fishing season. For the same reasons, the AA also finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in effectiveness for these actions, required under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).\nThese actions are authorized by \u00a7\u00a7\u2009660.55 (i), 660.60(d) and 660.131(h) and are exempt from review under Executive Order 12866.\n16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. and 16 U.S.C. 7001 et seq.\nDated: November 27, 2018.

Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (\u201cDodd-Frank Act\u201d)\u20093 amended the Commodity Exchange Act (\u201cCEA\u201d or \u201cAct\u201d)\u20094 to establish a new regulatory framework for swaps. This new framework included, among other reforms, the registration and regulation of swap execution facilities (\u201cSEFs\u201d)\u20095 and the mandatory clearing of certain swaps by derivatives clearing organizations (\u201cDCOs\u201d).6 SEFs and DCOs have since become a significant part of swaps trading infrastructure and have helped to transition a large portion of swaps trading from unregulated, uncleared OTC markets to regulated trading venues and central clearing.\n5\u2009See CEA section 5h, as enacted by section 733 of the Dodd-Frank Act; 7 U.S.C. 7b-3. See also Core Principles and Other Requirements for SEFs, 78 FR 33476 (June 4, 2013).\n6\u2009See Section 2(h)(1)(A) of the CEA, as enacted by section 723 of the Dodd-Frank Act; 7 U.S.C. 2(h)(1)(A). In 2012, the Commission issued final rules to implement the clearing requirement determination under section 723 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rules required certain classes of credit default swaps and interest rate swaps to be cleared by DCOs registered with the Commission. Clearing Requirement Determination Under Section 2(h) of the CEA, 77 FR 74284 (Dec. 13, 2012).\nMany swaps are traded on SEFs through trading methods and protocols that are electronic, voice-based, or a hybrid of both; and that provide for anonymous trade execution, trade execution on a name-disclosed basis, or a combination thereof. This variety of trading methods and protocols has developed because of the broad and diverse range of products traded in the swaps market that trade mostly episodically rather than on a continuous basis. The decision by a market participant to use one execution method or another depends on considerations such as the type of swap, transaction size, complexity, the swap's liquidity at a given time, the number of potential liquidity providers, and the associated desire to minimize potential information leakage and front-running risks.\n\u201cPost-trade name give-up\u201d is a long-standing market practice in many swaps markets and originated as a necessary practice in OTC markets for uncleared swaps. Post-trade name give-up refers to the practice of disclosing the identity of each swap counterparty to the other after a trade has been matched anonymously. In the case of uncleared swaps, post-trade name give-up enables a market participant to perform a credit-check on its counterparty prior to finalizing a trade. Due to the bilateral counterparty relationship that exists in an uncleared swap agreement, post-trade name give-up is also necessary in order to keep track of credit exposure and payment obligations with respect to individual counterparties.\nFor trades that are cleared, however, the rationale for post-trade name give-up is less clear cut. That is because a DCO enables each party to substitute the credit of the DCO for the credit of the parties, thereby eliminating individual credit risk and counterparty exposure. Swaps that are intended to be cleared are subject to pre-execution credit checks and straight-through processing requirements, effectively eliminating counterparty risk and, presumably, the need for market participants to know the identities of counterparties to anonymously matched trades.\nPost-trade name give-up continues today in some swaps markets, including with respect to swaps that are anonymously executed and cleared. Such disclosure may be made by a SEF as part of its trading protocols, or through middleware used for trade processing and routing trades to DCOs. For example, when a swap is matched using a voice-based execution method, a SEF employee may verbally disclose to a party the name of the other party to the trade. For swaps executed electronically on an anonymous order book, disclosure of counterparty names can occur through an electronic notification provided by the SEF after the trade is matched. Post-trade name give-up can also occur through third-party middleware and associated trade processing and affirmation services that provide counterparties with various trade details captured from SEF trading systems, including the identity of the party on the other side of a trade.7\n7\u2009Trade affirmation refers to a process that occurs after a trade is executed whereby counterparties verify and affirm the details of the trade before submitting it for settlement. Third-party trade processing and affirmation services commonly used for SEF trades include MarkitWire and ICE Link. The Commission has provided that SEFs may use such services to route trades to DCOs if the routing complies with \u00a7\u200937.702(b). See Core Principles and Other Requirements for SEFs, 78 FR 33476, 33535 (June 4, 2013).\nAs the swaps market increasingly becomes a cleared market, the Commission believes that it is reasonable to ask whether the post-trade name give-up practice continues to serve a valid industry purpose in facilitating swaps trading. A variety of views exist on both sides of this issue, depending on one's position in the market. Some industry participants have criticized the continued practice of post-trade name give-up in cleared swaps markets. During a meeting of the Commission's Market Risk Advisory Committee held in April 2015, several participants in a panel on SEFs identified post-trade name give-up as a concern with respect to SEF trading.8 Post-trade name give-up is said to deter buy-side participation on some SEFs due to the prospect of information leakage, whereby disclosing the identity of a market participant could potentially expose the participant's trading intentions, strategies, positions, or other sensitive information to competitors or dealers.9 Some industry participants have also alleged that post-trade name give-up serves as a policing mechanism used by swaps dealers to retaliate against non-dealer firms that attempt to trade on interdealer markets.10 Such interdealer markets provide for competitive execution of large-sized trades at wholesale prices. Buy-side participants that have interest in trading on interdealer markets and otherwise meet participation criteria to join these platforms are said to be deterred because of post-trade name give-up.11 Based on these concerns, critics of post-trade name give-up have argued that the practice is anticompetitive, hinders liquidity, and lacks credible justification in cleared swaps markets where participants are not exposed to counterparty credit risk.12\n8\u2009See Transcript of CFTC Market Risk Advisory Committee Meeting (April 2, 2015) (\u201cMRAC Transcript\u201d) at 133 et seq., available at https://www.cftc.gov/About/CFTCCommittees/MarketRiskAdvisoryCommittee/mrac_meetings.html.\n9\u2009See MRAC Transcript at 142-144, 164. See also Managed Funds Association Position Paper: Why Eliminating Post-Trade Name Disclosure Will Improve the Swaps Market (Mar. 31, 2015) (\u201cMFA Position Paper\u201d), p. 4-5. The Commission notes that other factors, such as the current lack of certain trading features, e.g., the ability to calculate volume-weighted average pricing on an order book may have also deterred buy-side participation on certain SEFs.\n10\u2009See In re: Interest Rate Swaps Antitrust Litigation, 261 F.Supp.3d 430, 458-59 (S.D.N.Y. 2017) (\u201cThe compulsory disclosure of swap counterparties, plaintiffs claim, serves as a policing mechanism, allowing the Dealers to retaliate against entities that attempt to trade on all-to-all platforms.\u201d).\n11\u2009The argument is that swap dealers threaten to shun platforms in the interdealer markets that attempt to execute trades between dealers and non-dealers.\n12\u2009See MRAC Transcript at 169-71; MFA Position Paper at 4-5, 8.\nOther industry participants have claimed that post-trade name give-up is an important tool used to mitigate liquidity risk or the risk that traders will game the market.13 Some participants argue that as bank market-making capital becomes further constrained by regulations,14 liquidity providers need to more precisely allocate their bank capital among their customer base in coordination with their overall bank cross-marketing strategies. Without the information provided by post-trade name give-up, the ability to make such allocations would become more difficult. As a result, liquidity providers would be less willing to provide liquidity to the market, especially in times of crisis, and charge higher prices to customers.15 This outcome arguably would hurt all market participants.\n13\u2009See, e.g., Tom Osborn, How to game a Sef: Banks fear arrival of arbitrageurs, Risk.net (Mar. 19, 2014).\n14\u2009Such post-financial crisis regulatory reforms include the Volcker Rule, Basel III Accords, capital charges and other bank capital-based restrictions.

Short of exiting the market entirely, some swaps dealers might become more selective in providing liquidity (holding back in times of market stress and volatility, for example) out of concern that they may not be able to adequately hedge their risk in interdealer markets.\nAnother reported concern is that buy-side clients may undercut prices from dealers, for example, by posting aggressive bids or offers on an interdealer order book and then soliciting dealers through a request-for-quote (\u201cRFQ\u201d) on a dealer-to-client platform, hoping to motivate dealers to provide more favorable quotes based on prices posted in the order book.16 Post-trade name give-up is said to mitigate these concerns because it can help to identify a client that is attempting to game the market.\nThe Commission requests comment from the public relating to the practice of post-trade name give-up on SEF markets where trades are anonymously executed and intended to be cleared. The Commission encourages all comments, including relevant background information, actual market examples, best practice principles, expectations for possible impacts on market structure and market liquidity, and estimates of any asserted costs and expenses. The Commission also encourages substantiating data, statistics, and any other information that supports any such comments. In particular, the Commission requests comment on the following questions:\nQuestion 1: What utility or benefits (e.g., commercial, operational, legal, or other) does post-trade name give-up provide in SEF markets where trades are anonymously executed and cleared? Is post-trade name give-up a necessary or appropriate means to achieve such benefits?\nQuestion 2: Does post-trade name give-up result in any restraint of trade, or impose any anticompetitive burden on swaps trading or clearing?\nQuestion 3: Should the Commission intervene to prohibit or otherwise set limitations with respect to post-trade name give-up? If so, what regulatory limitations should be set and how should they be set in a manner that is consistent with the CEA? What would be the potential costs and/or benefits of doing so? What might be the potential impacts on liquidity, pricing, and trading behavior? Would a prohibition cause dealers to remove liquidity from the market or charge higher prices? Would new liquidity makers fully and consistently act in the market to make up any shortfall in liquidity?\nQuestion 4: Should post-trade name give-up be subject to customer choice or SEF choice given the flexible execution methods in the Commission's recent SEF notice of proposed rulemaking?\nIssued in Washington, DC, on November 6, 2018, by the Commission.

The Act requires VA to amend its regulation on VA-guaranteed or insured cash-out refinance loans and to publish the amended regulation within a shortened time frame. If VA determines that urgent or compelling circumstances make compliance with the advance public notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act impracticable or contrary to public interest and publishes notice of that determination in the Federal Register, the Act permits VA to amend the regulation through an interim final rule or final rule. VA has determined that urgent and compelling circumstances do exist and is, therefore, issuing this Federal Register document announcing VA's intent to promulgate an interim final rule implementing the Act.\nLoan Policy & Valuation, Loan Guaranty Service (26), Veterans Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420.\nGreg Nelms, Assistant Director for Loan Policy & Valuation, Loan Guaranty Service (26), Veterans Benefits Administration, Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20420, (202) 632-8862. (This is not a toll-free number.)\nOn May 24, 2018, the President signed into law the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (the Act), Public Law 115-174, 132 Stat. 1296. Section 309 of the Act, codified at 38 U.S.C. 3709, provides new statutory criteria for determining when, in general, VA may guarantee a refinance loan. The Act also requires, among other things, VA to promulgate regulations, within 180 days after the date of the enactment of the Act, for cash-out refinance loans, specifically those where the principal of the new loan to be VA-guaranteed or insured is larger than the payoff amount of the loan being refinanced. Public Law 115-174, 132 Stat. 1296.\nSection 309(a)(2) of the Act permits VA to waive the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 551 through 559, if the Secretary determines that urgent or compelling circumstances make compliance with such requirements impracticable or contrary to public interest. Public Law 115-174, 132 Stat. 1348-1349.\nVA believes there are several urgent and compelling circumstances that make advance notice and comment on this rule contrary to the public interest. First, VA is concerned about lenders who seem to continue to exploit legislative and regulatory gaps related to seasoning, recoupment, and net tangible benefit standards, despite anti-predatory lending actions that VA and Congress have already taken. VA's regulatory impact analysis for this rule indicates that perhaps more than 50 percent of cash-out refinances remain vulnerable to predatory terms and conditions until this rule goes into effect. VA believes that VA must immediately seal these gaps to fulfill its obligation to veterans, prudent lenders, and those who invest in securities that include VA-guaranteed loans.\nVA is also gravely concerned about constraints in the availability of program liquidity if VA does not act quickly to address early pre-payment speeds for VA-guaranteed cash-out refinance loans. In large part, cashflows derived from investors in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) furnished by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) provide liquidity for lenders that originate VA-guaranteed refinance loans. When pricing MBS, investors rely on pre-payment models to estimate the level of pre-payments and any resultant potential losses of revenue expected to occur in a set period, given possible changes in interest rates. These pre-payment models tend to drive, at least in significant part, the valuation of Ginnie Mae MBS. Ginnie Mae, buyers of VA-guaranteed loans, and other industry stakeholders have expressed serious concerns that early pre-payments of VA-guaranteed loans are devaluing these investments. See \u201cSlowing Down VA Refi Churn Proving More Difficult Than Expected\u201d, National Mortgage News (November 12, 2018), https://www.nationalmortgagenews.com/news/slowing-down-va-refi-churn-proving-more-difficult-than-expected. If such stakeholders view MBS investments that include VA-guaranteed refinance loans as less desirable, even prudent lenders could be deprived of the cashflows, i.e. liquidity, necessary to make new VA-guaranteed loans to veterans.\nIn a hearing before the House Veterans' Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae) issued warnings to Congress regarding the ripple effects that risky refinancing practices had on the valuing of VA-guaranteed loans, as well as Ginnie Mae pools at-large. See Hearing on Home Loan Churning Practices and How Veteran Homebuyers are Being Affected Before the Subcomm. on Econ. Opportunity of the House Comm. on Veterans' Affairs, 115 Cong. (2018). Thus, VA believes that, unless VA promulgates rules quickly, a loss of investor optimism in the VA product could further restrict veterans from being able to utilize their earned VA benefits.\nExacerbating the issue is the lending industry's varied interpretation of the Act, which has led to lender uncertainty in how to implement a responsible cash-out refinance program. VA believes this uncertainty has caused prudent lenders to employ a high degree of caution, (e.g. refraining from providing veterans with crucial refinance loans that are not predatory or risky). Absent swift implementation of clear regulatory standards, cautious lenders are less likely to make cash-out refinance loans, which means that veterans do not enjoy the widest range of competitive, responsible credit options that can, when used properly, result in placing the veteran in a better financial position than the veteran's current circumstances afford. Unfortunately, such caution has the potential to compound the risk of predatory lending, as irresponsible lenders have more opportunity to prey upon veterans by stepping into areas where prudent lenders may have stopped competing.\nAt the same time, VA is concerned that certain lenders are exploiting cash-out refinancing as a loophole to the responsible refinancing Congress envisioned when enacting section 309 of the Act. VA recognizes there are certain advantages to a veteran who wants to obtain a cash-out refinance, and VA has no intention of unduly curtailing veterans' access to the equity they have earned in their homes. Nevertheless, some lenders are pressuring veterans to increase artificially their home loan amounts when refinancing, without regard to the long-term costs to the veteran and without adequately advising the veteran of the veteran's loss of home equity. In doing so, veterans are placed at a higher financial risk, and the lender avoids compliance with the more stringent requirements Congress mandated for less risky refinance loans. Essentially, the lender revives the period of subprime lending under a new name.\nVA does not plan to dispense with the notice and comment requirements altogether. Section 309(a)(2)(A)(ii) and (iii) of the Act requires VA, 10 days before publication of the final rule, to submit a notice of the waiver to the House and Senate Committees on Veterans' Affairs and publish the notice in the Federal Register. Public Law 115-174, 132 Stat. 1296. VA is complying with these requirements. Section 309(a)(2)(B) further requires VA to seek public notice and comment on this regulation if the regulation will be in effect for a period exceeding one year. Public Law 115-174, 132 Stat. 1296. VA anticipates the regulation will be in effect past the one-year mark. Therefore, VA is seeking public comment on the interim final rule once it is published in the Federal Register.\nThe Secretary of Veterans Affairs approved this document and authorized the undersigned to sign and submit the document to the Office of the Federal Register for publication electronically as an official document of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Robert L. Wilkie, Secretary, Department of Veterans Affairs, approved this document on November 19, 2018, for publication.\nDated: November 19, 2018. Jeffrey M.

Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations I. General Information A. Executive Summary\nOn March 16, 2015 (80 FR 13672), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the NSPS for new residential wood heaters, new residential hydronic heaters, and new forced-air furnaces. For this action, the term wood heaters refers to all appliances covered in 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA, and the terms hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces refer to appliances covered in 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ. Also, for this action, the term wood heating devices refers to all units regulated by the 2015 NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subparts AAA and QQQQ).\nIn this action, the EPA proposes to amend 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ of the 2015 NSPS by adding a two year \u201csell-through\u201d period for retailers to sell new hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces that are manufactured or imported before the May 2020 compliance date and are compliant with the \u201cStep 1\u201d standards. This will allow retailers additional time after the May 2020 effective date of the \u201cStep 2\u201d standard, to sell \u201cStep 1\u201d compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces remaining in inventory. The EPA is also taking comment on whether a sell-through period for retailers to sell new residential wood heaters (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA) is appropriate following the May 2020 compliance date and, if so, how long a sell-through period is needed and why. In addition, this action is taking comment on whether the current minimum pellet fuel requirements should be retained or revised. In the 2015 Final Rule Preamble (at 80 FR at 13682/2), the EPA stated: \u201cFor pellet-fueled appliances, operation according to the owner's manual includes operation only with pellet fuels that are specified in the owner's manual.\u201d\nThe Agency estimated the cost and benefits of the proposed rule by developing a memorandum (supplemental RIA)\u20091 to supplement the Regulatory Impact Analysis prepared for the 2015 Final Rule. This memorandum acknowledges uncertainty driven by consumer, manufacturer, and retailer response to this proposed \u201csell-through\u201d period and evaluates three scenarios. Section VII.A of this preamble summarizes the information in that supplemental RIA. Given the nature of this rule, costs are presented here as the forgone benefits of forgone emission reductions. We estimate the average annual cost savings to be $0.01 billion. We estimate the average annual forgone benefits to be $0.10 billion to $0.23 billion at a 3 percent discount rate and $0.09 billion to $0.21 billion at a 7 percent discount rate. The Agency represents the benefits as cost savings, which the Agency estimates as the increase in revenues to manufacturers and retailers of affected hydronic heaters and forced air furnaces. Estimated costs and benefits reflect the average annual impacts for the 2019 to 2022 timeframe, which are the implementation years analyzed in the supplemental RIA. All estimates in the supplemental RIA reflect the primary scenario analyzed for this proposal (which estimates the number of affected wood heaters available during the sell-through period with no change in wood heater production as estimated in the 2015 NSPS). Results are also provided in the supplemental RIA for wood heaters covered by 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA, which are wood heating devices not included in the proposed 2-year sell-through extension but for which comments are requested to determine if they should be.\n1\u2009U.S. EPA.

Following signature by the EPA Administrator, the EPA will post a copy of this proposed action at https://www.epa.gov/residential-wood-heaters/final-new-source-performance-standards-residential-wood-heaters. Following publication in the Federal Register, the EPA will post the Federal Register version of the proposal at this same website.\nII. Background A. Statutory Background\nSection 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the EPA Administrator to list categories of stationary sources that, in his or her judgment, cause or contribute significantly to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. The EPA must then issue \u201cstandards of performance\u201d for new sources in such source categories. The EPA has the authority to define the source categories, determine the pollutants for which standards should be developed, and identify within each source category the facilities for which standards of performance would be established.\nCAA section 111(a)(1) defines \u201ca standard of performance\u201d as \u201ca standard for emissions of air pollutants which reflects the degree of emission limitation achievable through the application of the best system of emission reduction which (taking into account the cost of achieving such reduction and any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirement) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated.\u201d This definition makes clear that the standard of performance must be based on controls that constitute \u201cthe best system of emission reduction (BSER).\u201d The standard that the EPA develops, based on the BSER, is commonly a numerical emission limit, expressed as a performance level. As provided in CAA 111(b)(5), the EPA does not prescribe a specific technology that must be used to comply with a standard of performance. Rather, sources generally can select any measure or combination of measures that will achieve the emission level of the standard.\nThe Residential Wood Heaters source category is different from most NSPS source categories in that it is for mass-produced residential consumer products. Thus, important elements in determining BSER include the costs and environmental impacts on consumers of delaying production while wood heating devices with those systems are designed, tested, field evaluated and certified.\nSection 111(b)(1)(B) of the CAA requires that the standards be effective upon promulgation of the NSPS. Given this statutory requirement, as discussed more fully in the Federal Register notice for the 2015 NSPS rulemaking (80 FR 13672), the EPA adopted the stepped (phased) approach for residential wood heaters, hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces to provide sufficient implementation time for manufacturers and retailers to comply with Step 2 limits.\nResidential wood heaters were originally listed under CAA section 111(b) in February 18, 1987 (see 52 FR 5065). The NSPS for wood heaters (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA) was proposed on February 18, 1987 (see 52 FR 4994) and promulgated on February 26, 1988 (see 53 FR 5859) (1988 Wood Heater NSPS). The NSPS was amended in 1998 to address an issue related to certification testing (see 63 FR 64869).\nOn February 3, 2014, the EPA proposed revisions to the NSPS (See 79 FR 6330) and promulgated revisions on March 16, 2015 (See 80 FR 13672). The final 2015 NSPS updated the 1988 Wood Heater NSPS emission limits, eliminated exemptions over a broad suite of residential wood combustion devices, and updated test methods and the certification process. The 2015 NSPS also added a new subpart (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ) that covers new wood burning residential hydronic heaters and new forced-air furnaces. It also directs owners of pellet or wood chip heaters to burn only the fuel specified in the owner's manual and that meet certain minimum requirements.\nAs a part of the 2015 rulemaking, the EPA identified the percentage of wood heaters estimated to be meeting the Step 2 standards prior to promulgation of the 2015 NSPS as 70 percent of pellet stoves and 26 percent of wood stoves. Similarly, 18 percent of hydronic heaters were meeting the Step 2 standards prior to promulgation of the 2015 NSPS, while the limited dataset for forced-air furnaces showed no models meeting the Step 2 standards prior to promulgation of the 2015 NSPS. As of March 20, 2018, there were a total of 78 models (44 pellet models and 34 crib/cord wood) that met the Step 2 standard for wood heaters (as required under 40 CFR 60.532(b) or 60.532(c)), nine models that met the Step 2 standard for hydronic heaters (as required under 40 CFR 60.5474(a)(2) or (b)(3)) and one model that met the Step 2 standard for forced-air furnaces (as required under 40 CFR 60.5474(a)(6)). The inventory of certified models as of March 2018 is provided in the document titled: \u201cList of EPA certified Wood Heating Devices March 2018,\u201d which is available in the docket and at the website https://www.epa.gov/compliance/wood-heater-compliance-monitoring-program.\nIn promulgating the 2015 NSPS, the EPA took a \u201cstepped compliance approach\u201d in which certain \u201cStep 1\u201d standards became effective in May 2015 and more stringent \u201cStep 2\u201d standards would become effective five years later, in May 2020.\nA major component of demonstrating compliance with either Step 1 or Step 2 is a certification test, using an EPA approved test method, for a given wood heating device. Among other requirements, the emissions from the certification test cannot exceed the emission limit for the standard for which it is certifying (either Step 1 or Step 2). It is worth noting that, because these certification test methods were developed outside of the 2015 NSPS, certification test methods have their own requirements independent of the 2015 NSPS, such as fuel requirements.\nThe 2015 NSPS included a sell-through provision which allowed seven and a half months for retailers to sell current wood heater and hydronic heater non-compliant inventory (Step 1 sell-through). No sell-through provision was provided for forced-air furnaces because small forced-air furnaces did not have to comply with a numerical emission standard until May 2016, and large forced-air furnaces did not have to comply with a numerical emission standard until May 2017 (see 80 FR 13682 and 13685). While manufacturers could no longer make units that were not certified for the Step 1 standard (after the May 2015 Step 1 effective date), the Step 1 sell-through allowed retailers several months to sell their existing inventory that was not Step 1 compliant. The 2015 NSPS provided no such sell-through provision for the more stringent Step 2 standards that are currently scheduled to become effective in May 2020. The Step 1 and Step 2 standards are discussed further below.\nIn promulgating the 2015 NSPS, the EPA took a stepped compliance approach to implementing the emission limits for the rule. The Step 1 standard was intended to codify emission limits that were already being met. For wood heaters, (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA), the Step 1 limit was based on the Washington State standard that had been in effect since 1995 and had been met by most wood heater manufacturers. For hydronic heaters, the Step 1 emission limit was based on the 2010 Phase 2 Voluntary Hydronic Heater Program. Step 1 for forced-air furnaces was what the EPA concluded would be immediately achievable based on a limited dataset.\nThe Step 1 standard went into effect in May 2015, and Step 2 becomes effective in May 2020 (see discussion at 80 FR 13676-13677). For the Step 1 standards, the EPA provided a \u201csell-through\u201d period of seven and a half months, until December 2015, to allow retailers additional time after the effective date of the rule to sell the non-compliant wood heaters and hydronic heaters remaining in inventory (see 80 FR 13685). Specifically, the 2015 NSPS allowed non-compliant wood heaters and hydronic heaters manufactured before May 15, 2015, to be imported and/or sold at retail through December 31, 2015 (see 40 CFR 60.532(a) and 60.5474(a)(1)).2 For the Step 2 standards, the EPA did not provide a sell-through period following the May 2020 compliance date. The EPA concluded at the time that the 5-year period leading up to the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date would provide manufacturers with sufficient lead time to develop, test, and certify Step 2-compliant wood heating devices. Meanwhile, in the time before the Step 2-certified models were available for sale, both manufacturers and retailers would be able to continue making and selling Step 1-certified wood heating devices (see 80 FR 13676). The EPA provided further explanation in the 2015 Response to Comments (RTC) document (Docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0734). On page 99 of the RTC, the EPA noted that the 5-year period from 2015 to 2020 \u201cmatches the window of time many manufacturers noted they would need to conduct research and development (R&D) and bring a new model to market,\u201d and on page 231 of the RTC, the EPA concluded that Step 2 standards provide \u201cappropriate lead times for manufacturers to redesign their model lines to accommodate the improved technology across multiple model lines and test, field evaluate, and certify new model lines.\u201d\n2\u2009The EPA did not provide any sell-through period for forced-air furnaces, because the EPA determined that the requirements that became effective for these heaters in May 2015 (to revise the owner manuals, and training and marketing materials) could be accomplished without disrupting sales and creating undue burden on manufacturers or retailers. See 80 FR 13682 and 13685.\nRecently, the EPA has learned from manufacturers and retailers that a substantial number of retailers are already reducing or even ending their purchases of Step 1-certified wood heating devices from the manufacturers because they are concerned that they will not be able to sell these devices before the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date and will be left with unsaleable inventory.3 Additionally, some manufacturers have indicated that they will need until May 2020 to develop, test, and certify wood heating devices to meet the 2020 Step 2 standards. As a result, manufacturers may face revenue losses as retailers are not willing to buy the Step 1-certified models and the Step 2-certified models have not yet been developed, tested, and certified. Further, as May 2020 approaches, the EPA expects that retailers will become increasingly reluctant to purchase non-Step 2-compliant wood heating devices which they will not be able to sell after May 2020, resulting in stranded capital. The EPA also acknowledges that the price differential between the Step 2 models and Step 1 models may dampen demand for these heaters and could result in consumers declining to purchase new heaters altogether (although the supplemental RIA does not examine this consumer response in detail).\n3\u2009The following statements from various groups or individuals demonstrate these concerns:\nHearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA): As time goes on and we get closer to the May 2020 effective date, retailers will reduce their purchase orders of Step 1 products. We are already seeing this happen today\u2014a full two years before the effective date of Step 2. If orders are decreased or cut off, this implies that manufacturing is also being cut off or decreased. (May 31, 2018, response to request for information from the EPA.)\nFrank Moore (President & Owner, Hardy Manufacturing): Like manufacturers, retailers are making business decisions right now based on the Step 2 2020 requirements. It can sometimes take up to five years for a retailer to sell a hearth product from the time they purchase it from a manufacturer. With that in mind, many retailers aren't purchasing products from manufacturers that don't already meet the 2020 requirements. Even though it is still 2017, in practice the effective date is already having an impact. (September 13, 2017, testimony before the House Committee on Energy & Commerce Subcommittee on the Environment in support of H.R. 453 (the Relief from New Source Performance Standards Act)).\nMark Freeman (Owner, Kuma Stoves): SELL THROUGH\u2014This is the most immediate need. I can't tell you how important this is to provide sell-through relief for manufacturers of AAA appliances as well as for the QQQQ manufacturers. Already we are seeing Early-buy orders for the 2018 season being affected from our dealers who are worried about having stock that they won't be able to sell by May 2020. We need this as it is hurting my business and our industry. (May 1, 2018, email to the EPA.)\nChris Neufeld (Vice President, Blaze King): The 2015 New Source Performance Standards failed to provide a sell through date. The magnitude of this omission in the 2015 NSPS is growing and growing quickly. Here is what we have learned from my visits to nearly 60 retail locations in the past 3 months:\n1. Retailers are hesitant to order products that are set to expire on May 15th, 2020.\n2. Compounding their concerns, by some estimates, there are 100,000 or more wood and pellet heaters in showrooms across the country that must be sold by May 15th, 2020. Based on these estimates, this could represent an entire year of industry sales. This does not include inventory held by distributors.\n3. Dealers expressed real concern that excessive discounting will result and in turn cause their small businesses to become vastly less profitable resulting in layoffs or closure.\n4. Retailers are hesitant to schedule summer and fall participation is fairs, home shows and other costly public events, which will reduce profitability.\nAs a manufacturer, one that has acted in good faith, this could hurt our company to an insurmountable degree. Even though our company and others may demonstrate compliance in advance of May 15, 2020, the very real threat is retailers stop ordering our products in an effort to sell off all the products with the expiration date of May 15, 2020. This matter is very time sensitive. A decision to provide an extension needs to be communicated soon and effectively so as to avoid a serious disruption to our business and that of retailers. (June 1, 2018, email to the EPA.)\nTo address this situation, the EPA is proposing to amend the 2015 NSPS, 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ requirements to create a two-year sell-through period for retailers after the Step 2 compliance date that is similar to the Step 1 sell-through period. The EPA is proposing an amendment that will allow Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces manufactured or imported before May 15, 2020, to be sold at retail through May 15, 2022. The EPA is not proposing any changes to its BSER determination and is not proposing any changes to the 5-year compliance period for Step 2 or the associated May 2020 compliance date. As stated in the March 16, 2015, notice of final rulemaking, the EPA concluded that:\n\u2022 A final hydronic heater Step 2 emission level of 0.10 lb/mmBtu within 5 years as BSER is a reasonable balance of environmental impacts and costs; and\n\u2022 a final forced-air furnace Step 2 emission level of 0.15 lb/mmBtu within 5 years as BSER is a reasonable balance of environmental impacts and costs.\nWhile the EPA is soliciting comment on the compliance date for the Step 2 emission limits in a separate Federal Register notice, this notice of proposed rulemaking maintains the Agency's 2015 BSER determination, while at the same time seeking to ensure that the full 5-year compliance period is available so that consumers, manufacturers, and retailers are not adversely affected.\nIn this action, the EPA is seeking comment on this two-year sell-through period for retailers after the Step 2 compliance date, including the reasonableness of the Agency's determination that there is a need for a Step 2 sell-through period and, if providing a sell-through period is reasonable, what length of sell-through period is appropriate and why. The EPA is particularly interested in soliciting comments for the following topics regarding compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces and the sell-through period:\n(1) The Agency solicits comment on whether retailers are currently declining to purchase Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces and how widespread is this reduction in purchases. The EPA also solicits comment as to whether this will become a more significant issue as the May 2020 compliance date approaches and, if so, when is it likely that retailers will no longer be willing to buy Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces at all. The EPA solicits comment on the cost or other impacts that retailers could have on manufacturers who are small businesses if they decline to purchase Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces.\n(2) The Agency is soliciting comment as to what is the typical period of time between (a) when a retailer purchases a hydronic heater or forced-air furnace, and (b) when the device is sold to a consumer. In particular, the Agency is soliciting comment on these periods of time for small businesses.\n(3) The Agency is soliciting comment on the EPA's proposal that a sell-through period for retailers to sell Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces is a reasonable way to address concerns about retailers' reluctance to purchase Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces and/or manufacturers' inability to sell such heaters and furnaces before Step 2-certified models are available. In particular, the EPA is soliciting comment on the sell-through as a reasonable way to address concerns about retailers of devices and products from small businesses.\n(4) The Agency is soliciting comments regarding, if a sell-through period for the May 2020 compliance date were to be promulgated, what period of time after May 2020 would be sufficient for retailers to sell their inventory of Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces. The EPA is proposing a two-year period but is also taking comment on whether either a shorter or a longer sell-through period may be more reasonable and, if so, why a sell-through period other than two years is appropriate. For small businesses in particular, the Agency is soliciting comment on a two-year period and whether that amount of time is reasonable.\n(5) The EPA is also soliciting comment on whether the Agency's proposal to provide the same two-year Step 2 sell-through period for both hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces is reasonable, or whether a sell-through period of some different length may be more appropriate for each of these types of wood heating devices. The EPA is also soliciting comment on whether it may be more appropriate not to provide a sell-through period at all for either hydronic heaters or forced-air furnaces.\n(6) The Agency is soliciting information on the number of Step 1 forced-air furnaces and hydronic heaters that are currently in production and the number that are being designed for Step 2 compliance that have not yet received their EPA certification for Step 2 compliance. The EPA requests information on the number of Step 2 pellet and cord/crib wood forced-air furnaces and hydronic heaters that are currently certified to meet Step 2. The EPA is soliciting comment on how far in advance of the current May 2020 Step 2 compliance date manufacturers will need to submit their EPA certification applications to not only meet the standards, but also to manufacture, market, and distribute their products without disruption to their business.\n(7) The Agency seeks comment on whether and what type of small business relief may be appropriate in place of the extended sell-through period that would accomplish the same goal.\n(8) The Agency seeks comment on the effects on the consumer as a result of a sell-through period.\nProviding specific information and data to explain the basis of your comments on these topics discussed above (and on all matters that you address in your comments) will be helpful in the Agency's consideration of the issues presented by this proposed rule.4\n4\u2009In an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in another Federal Register document that the EPA plans to publish soon, the EPA intends to seek comment on several additional matters, including whether the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date should be extended. The EPA does not view this proposed action for a retailer sell-through period as a measure that would preclude an extension of the Step 2 compliance date. The EPA might both (1) finalize the proposed sell-through period, and (2) subsequently extend the 2020 compliance date. In short, the EPA views the proposed sell-through period and a possible extension of the 2020 compliance date as related, but not mutually exclusive. Whether the EPA does one or both (or neither) will be decided after the EPA considers comments and the other pertinent information.\nIV. Request for Comments on Wood Heaters (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAA)\nThe EPA is also taking comment on whether the 2015 NSPS, 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA, should also be revised to create a two-year sell-through period for retailers after the Step 2 compliance date for wood heaters similar to what is being proposed for 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ appliances in section III of this preamble. The EPA is seeking comment on whether to allow Step 1-compliant 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA wood heaters manufactured or imported before May 15, 2020, to be sold at retail through May 15, 2022. In this action, the EPA is seeking comment on a two-year sell-through period for retailers after the Step 2 compliance date, including comment on whether a Step 2 sell-through period for wood heaters is needed, and, if a sell-through period is added, what length of sell-through period is reasonable, and why.\nThe EPA is particularly interested in soliciting comments for the following topics regarding compliant wood heaters and the sell-through period:\n(1) The Agency solicits comment on whether retailers are currently declining to purchase Step 1-compliant wood heaters and whether this reduction in purchases is widespread. In particular, the EPA solicits comment on whether there is a disproportionate change in purchases of crib/cord wood heaters (certification tests with either crib wood or cord wood) compared to pellet wood heaters due to the approaching May 2020 compliance date. The EPA also solicits comment as to whether this will become a more significant issue as the May 2020 compliance date approaches and, if so, when it is likely that retailers will no longer be willing to buy Step 1-compliant wood heaters. The EPA solicits comment on the cost or other impacts that retailers could have on manufacturers who are small businesses if they decline to purchase Step 1-compliant wood heaters.\n(2) The Agency is soliciting comment as to what is the typical period of time between (a) when a retailer purchases a wood heater, and (b) when the device is sold to a consumer. In particular, the Agency is soliciting comment on these periods of time for small businesses.\n(3) The Agency is soliciting comment as to whether a sell-through period for retailers to sell Step 1-compliant wood heaters is a reasonable way to address these concerns about retailers' reluctance to purchase Step 1-compliant wood heaters and/or manufacturers' inability to sell wood heaters before Step 2-certified models are available. In particular, the Agency is soliciting comment on the sell-through as a reasonable way to address concerns about retailers of devices and products from small businesses.\n(4) The Agency is soliciting comments regarding if a sell-through period for the May 2020 compliance date were to be promulgated, what period of time after May 2020 would be sufficient for retailers to sell their inventory of Step 1-compliant wood heaters. The EPA is also taking comment on whether the sell-through period should be as short as one year or as long as three years (or more), and, if so, why such a sell-through period would be more appropriate than two years. For small businesses in particular, the Agency is soliciting comment on a two-year period and whether that amount of time is reasonable.\n(5) The Agency is soliciting information on the number of Step 1 wood heater models that are currently in production and the number that are being designed for Step 2 compliance that have not yet received their EPA certification for Step 2 compliance. The EPA requests information on the number of Step 2 pellet and crib/cord wood heaters that are currently certified to meet Step 2. The EPA is soliciting comment on how far in advance of the current May 2020 Step 2 compliance date manufacturers will need to submit their EPA certification applications to not only meet the standards, but also to manufacture, market, and distribute their products without disruption to their business. The EPA solicits comment on any potential impact on consumers if the production of Step 2-compliant wood heaters is limited.\nProviding specific information and data to explain the basis of your comments on these topics discussed above (and on all matters that you address in your comments) will be helpful in the Agency's consideration of the issues presented by this proposed rule.\nV. Request for Comments on Pellet Fuel Requirements\nCertification tests for residential wood pellet heaters require pellet fuels be made of wood with certain minimum quality requirements to ensure consistent operation for every certification test. These requirements have the added benefit to manufacturers of minimizing emissions during certification testing.\nThe 2015 NSPS requires that pellets burned in a residential wood pellet heater meet the same minimum quality requirements to ensure consistent operations and comparable emissions. See Pellet Fuel Requirements stated in 40 CFR 60.532(e) and 60.5474(e). These requirements were intended to maintain a level of quality consistent with the requirements of a pellet heater certification test to ensure these pellets are similar to pellets used in certification testing. The EPA concluded at the time that this requirement provided some assurance that the wood pellet heater's performance in the home would be consistent with the laboratory certification test. A pellet manufacturer is not obligated to produce pellets that meet the pellet fuel requirements, but operators and manufacturers of residential pellet heaters in the United States are prohibited from using pellets that do not meet the pellet fuel requirements. However, the Agency has learned of issues regarding these requirements since publication of the 2015 rule. Therefore, the EPA is taking comment on whether the minimum quality pellet fuel requirements in the 2015 NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subparts AAA and QQQQ) should be retained and, if they are retained, whether they should be revised.\n(1) The EPA is taking comment on whether 40 CFR part 60, subparts AAA and QQQQ should retain the minimum pellet fuel requirements, which are currently found at 40 CFR 60.532(e) and 60.5474(e). In support of the 2015 NSPS and in response to a remand of the record requested by the EPA, the EPA prepared a memorandum that set forth the Agency's rationale for including pellet fuel requirements. See November 21, 2016, Memorandum from Stephen D. Page, Director, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, titled \u201cEPA's Response to Remand of the Record for Residential Wood Heaters New Source Performance Standards.\u201d\u20095 The EPA is requesting comment on the rationale presented in the above-mentioned memorandum and if the current minimum requirements should be retained in its current form at 40 CFR 60.532(e) and 60.5474(e).\n5\u2009This memorandum was placed in the 2015 docket as Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0734-1805 and is in the docket for this proposed rule at EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0195.\n(2) The EPA is taking comment on whether the minimum pellet fuel requirements in 40 CFR 60.532(e) and 60.5474(e) should be eliminated entirely.\n(3) The EPA is taking comment on whether the pellet fuel requirements, if retained, should be revised. Such revisions could include adding new requirements or removing one or more of the current requirements or revising the requirements that are currently stated. For example, with respect to the maximum dimensions stated in 40 CFR 60.532(e)(2) and 60.5474(e)(2), the Agency is seeking comment on whether this criterion should be removed or replaced with larger or smaller dimensions. The EPA has reviewed the pellet requirements and solicits comment on whether the Agency should revise the current minimum pellet fuel requirements:\n1. Density: Minimum of 38 lbs/ft3.\n2. Dimensions: Maximum length of 1.5\u2033.\n3. Fines: <1% (EPA referred to \u201cinorganic fines\u201d in the 2015 NSPS. Should this be modified to \u201cfines\u201d?).\n4. Chlorides: \u2264300 ppm.\n5. Ash content: \u22642%.\n6. Contains no demolition or construction waste.\n7. Total of each trace metal: 100 mg/kg. Clarify if this should be reported \u201cas received\u201d or \u201cdry basis\u201d. The trace metals include mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, and zinc.\n8. None of the prohibited fuels in paragraph (f) of this section. The prohibited list does not prevent the use of unseasoned wood as an input material for manufacturing pellets.\nThe EPA is interested in receiving comments that both support the current requirements (and explain why they are necessary) and comments that advocate that the requirements be removed or revised.\nVI. Impacts of This Proposed Rule A. What are the air impacts?\nThe air impacts associated with the requirements of this proposed rule are the forgone emission reductions of PM2.5, HAPs, as well as other criteria pollutants and their precursors, including CO and VOC. VOCs are precursors to PM2.5 and ozone. These forgone emission reductions are estimated using the baseline emissions reflected in the final 2015 NSPS as presented in the emissions estimation memorandum and the 2015 NSPS RIA.6 The average annual forgone emission reductions for the primary scenario (Scenario 2), calculated over the timeframe of 2019-2022, is 257 tons of PM2.5, 271 tons of VOC, and 1,444 tons of CO. More information on how these impacts are estimated can be found in the supplemental RIA.\n6\u2009Memo to Gil Wood, USEPA, from EC/R, Inc. Estimated Emissions from Wood Heaters. January 30, 2015. Available in Docket ID: Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0734. Regulatory Impact Analysis for Residential Wood Heaters NSPS, Final Report. EPA-452/R-15-001. February 2015. Available at Docket ID: EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0734-177407344.\nB. What are the energy impacts?\nThese proposed actions are anticipated to have negligible impacts on energy costs or usage. To the extent that Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces continue to be sold for an additional two years, it is difficult to determine the precise energy impacts that might result from this proposed action. Wood-fueled appliances compete with other biomass forms for residential heating as well as more traditional energy sources such as oil, electricity, and natural gas. There is also a lack of sufficient data to determine the potential for affected consumers to choose other types of fuels and their associated appliances, nor the potential impacts to affected manufacturers.\nC. What are the cost savings?\nThe cost savings of the proposed action are the increase in revenues for manufacturers and retailers of hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces affected by this rulemaking. The overall distribution of the avoided compliance costs as well as the distribution of forgone benefits is uncertain. The increase in revenues is calculated by estimating the reduction in unit costs from producing Step 1-compliant hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces as compared to Step 2-compliant devices with estimates of sales taken from the 2015 NSPS RIA, using the estimates calculated for the final 2015 NSPS requirements as the baseline. The revenue estimate calculated is the average of the annual estimates calculated for the 2019-2022 timeframe and the primary scenario (Scenario 2). The estimate of additional average annual revenues to manufacturers is $0.01 billion (2016 dollars). Calculated as an EAV, the estimate is $0.01 billion (2016 dollars). More information on how these impacts are estimated can be found in the supplemental RIA of this proposed rule.\nD. What are the economic and employment impacts?\nThe economic impacts of this proposal are the cost savings that are shown in section VI.C of this preamble. Impacts on employment are qualitatively examined in the supplemental RIA.\nE. What are the forgone benefits of the proposed rule?\nThe overall distribution of the avoided compliance costs as well as the distribution of forgone benefits is uncertain. Although this proposed action may result in the delay of the emission reductions from the 2015 NSPS by up to two years, this proposed action to establish a sell-through period does not change the standards upon implementation. The proposed revisions in this action would defer emission reductions into the future, thus delaying the health benefits estimated in the Residential Wood Heaters 2015 NSPS RIA. Due to analytical limitations, it was not possible to conduct air quality modeling for this proposed rule. Instead, the Agency used a \u201cbenefit-per-ton\u201d approach to estimate the forgone benefits. In brief, the EPA calculated benefit per-ton (BPT) values for this sector by: (1) Characterizing the photochemical modeled PM2.5 air quality levels associated with this sector; (2) quantifying the number and economic value of adverse health impacts attributable to these PM2.5 concentrations; (3) dividing these values by the sum of the emissions for the sector. The BPT reflects the average national benefits of reducing PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors from the residential wood sector and cannot characterize the benefits occurring in discrete geographic locations such as non-attainment areas. For more detailed discussion of the benefit-per-ton approach, please refer to the benefits section in the supplemental RIA accompanying this proposed rulemaking.\nAs compared to the 2015 NSPS RIA, for the years 2019 to 2022, this proposed rule, if finalized, would result in less emission reduction of PM2.5, HAPs, as well as other criteria pollutants and their precursors, including CO and VOC, compared to the 2015 NSPS final rule. VOC are precursors to PM2.5 and ozone. For this proposed rule, the Agency was only able to quantify the monetized forgone health benefits associated with forgone decreased exposure to directly emitted PM2.5. The forgone benefits reflect the average of annual PM2.5 forgone emission reductions occurring between 2019 and 2022 (inclusive). The Agency estimates the annual average monetized PM2.5-related forgone health benefits of the residential wood heaters NSPS in the 2019-2022 timeframe to be $0.10 billion to $0.23 billion (2016 dollars) at a 3-percent discount rate and $0.09 billion to $0.21 billion (2016 dollars) at a 7-percent discount rate. The ends of the range are quantified using Hazard Ratios reported in the Krewski, et al. (2009) and Lepeule, et al. (2012) long-term epidemiological studies. Using alternate relationships between PM2.5 and premature mortality supplied by experts, higher and lower estimates of forgone benefits are plausible; but, most of the expert-based estimates fall between these two estimates.7 A summary of the forgone emissions and monetized forgone benefits estimates for this proposed rule at discount rates of 3 percent and 7 percent is provided in Table 2 of this preamble. All estimates reflect the primary scenario analyzed for this proposal (Scenario 2). Another metric that can be used to calculate such estimates, EAV, yields monetized forgone benefits estimates of $0.09 billion to $0.21 billion at a 3 percent discount rate and $0.07 billion to $0.16 billion at a 7 percent discount rate. More information on all of these calculations can be found in the supplemental RIA.\n7\u2009Roman, et al., 2008. \u201cExpert Judgment Assessment of the Mortality Impact of Changes in Ambient Fine Particulate Matter in the U.S.,\u201d Environ. Sci. Technol., 42, 7, 2268-2274.\nTable 2\u2014Summary of Annual Average Monetized PM2.5-Related Health Forgone Benefits for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces NSPS Proposal in 2019-2022 Timeframe [Billions of 2016 dollars]\u2009a b c d Pollutant Estimated\nTotal monetized forgone benefits\n(3% discount rate)\nDirectly emitted PM2.5 257 $0.10 to $0.23 $0.09 to $0.21. PM2.5 Precursors: VOC 271 CO 1,444 a\u2009All estimates are for the 2019-2022 timeframe (inclusive) and are rounded to two significant figures. The total monetized forgone benefits reflect the human health benefits associated with reducing exposure to PM2.5 through reductions of PM2.5 precursors, such as NOX, and directly emitted PM2.5. It is important to note that the monetized benefits do not include reduced health effects from exposure to HAP, direct exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2), exposure to ozone, VOC, ecosystem effects, effects from black carbon or visibility impairment. b\u2009Forgone PM benefits are shown as a range from Krewski, et al. (2009) to Lepeule, et al. (2012). c\u2009These models assume that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature mortality because the scientific evidence is not yet sufficient to allow differentiation of effects estimates by particle type. d\u2009All estimates reflect the primary scenario (or Scenario 2) for the proposal.\nThese forgone benefit estimates represent the annual average economic value of the health benefits that would have occurred in the years 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, were the proposed sell-through date not deferred from 2020 to 2022.\nThe Agency assumes that all fine particles, regardless of their chemical composition, are equally potent in causing premature mortality because the scientific evidence is not yet sufficient to allow differentiation of effects estimates by particle type. Even though the Agency assumes that all fine particles have equivalent health effects, the benefit-per-ton estimates vary between precursors depending on the location and magnitude of their impact on PM2.5 levels, which drive population exposure.\nFor this analysis, policy-specific air quality data are not available. Thus, the Agency is unable to estimate the percentage of forgone premature mortality associated with this specific proposed rule's forgone emission reductions at each PM2.5 level. As a surrogate measure of mortality impacts, the Agency provides the percentage of the population exposed at each PM2.5 level using the source apportionment modeling used to calculate the benefit-per-ton estimates for this sector. Using the Krewski, et al., (2009) study, 93 percent of the population is exposed to annual mean PM2.5 levels at or above the lowest measured level (LML) of 5.8 micrograms per cubic meter (\u00b5g/m3). Using the Lepeule, et al, (2012) study, 67 percent of the population is exposed above the LML of 8 \u00b5g/m3. Therefore, caution is warranted when interpreting the LML assessment for this proposed rule. The Agency refers the reader to the supplemental RIA prepared for this proposed rule for detailed discussion.\nEvery benefit analysis examining the potential effects of a change in environmental protection requirements is limited, to some extent, by data gaps, model capabilities (such as geographic coverage) and uncertainties in the underlying scientific and economic studies used to configure the benefit and cost models. A detailed discussion of these uncertainties is provided in the supplemental RIA. Despite these uncertainties, the benefit analysis for this action provides a reasonable indication of the expected forgone health benefits of the proposed rulemaking under a set of reasonable estimations.\nThe monetized forgone benefits estimates provided above do not include forgone benefits from a variety of additional benefit categories. Although the Agency does not have sufficient information or modeling available to provide monetized estimates for these forgone benefits, the Agency includes a qualitative assessment of these unquantified forgone benefits in the supplemental RIA for this proposed rule. For more information on the benefits analysis, refer to the supplemental RIA for this proposed rule, which is available in the docket at Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0195.\nThis action is an economically significant regulatory action that was submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. Any changes made in response to OMB recommendations have been documented in the docket. The EPA prepared an analysis of the potential costs and benefits associated with this action. This analysis, Supplemental Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA)\u2014Estimated Cost Savings and Forgone Benefits Associated with the Proposed Rule, \u201cStandards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces\u201d is a memorandum that is available in the docket. It is also summarized in section I of this preamble.\nConsistent with Executive Orders 12866 and 13563, \u201cImproving Regulation and Regulatory Review,\u201d the Agency has estimated the cost and benefits of the proposed rule. Given the nature of this rule, the Agency modified the discussion of net benefits (benefits\u2212costs) to be more consistent with the relevant terminology of traditional net benefit analysis. The costs are presented here as the forgone benefits presented in section 5 of the supplemental RIA and section VI.E of this preamble. The Agency represents the benefits as the cost savings presented in section 2 of the supplemental RIA and section VI.C of this preamble, which the Agency estimates as the increase in revenues to manufacturers of affected wood heaters. The net benefits are the benefits (cost savings) minus the costs (forgone benefits). In this proposed rule, the estimated costs are greater than the benefits, leading to a negative net benefit (or net cost). The estimated annual average net benefit at a 3-percent discount rate is $0.09 billion to $0.22 billion, and $0.08 billion to $0.20 billion at a 7-percent discount rate in 2016 dollars, over the 2019 to 2022 timeframe. The net benefit estimate reflects an annual average of 257 tons of forgone PM2.5 emission reductions per year, and a total annual average cost savings of $0.01 billion (2016 dollars). The forgone benefits also include forgone emission reductions of 271 tons of VOC reductions per year and 1,444 tons of CO reductions per year; forgone reduced exposure to HAP, including formaldehyde, benzene, and POM; forgone reduced climate effects due to forgone reduced black carbon emissions and GHG emissions; forgone reduced ecosystem effects; and forgone reduced visibility impairments. Table 3 summarizes the estimated costs and forgone benefits for the affected forced-air furnaces and hydronic heaters. The estimated costs and benefits reflect the average annual impacts for the 2019 to 2022 timeframe, which are the implementation years analyzed in the supplemental RIA for this proposed rule. All estimates reflect the primary scenario analyzed for this proposal (Scenario 2). Results for wood stoves, a category not included in the 2-year sell through proposed extension but for which comments are requested to determine if they should be, are also provided in the supplemental RIA.\nTable 3\u2014Summary of Annual Average Cost Savings, Monetized Forgone Benefits, and Monetized Net Forgone Benefits (Billions of 2016 Dollars) in the 2019-2022 Timeframe for the Proposed Rule\u2009a\u2009b 3% Discount rate 7% Discount rate Costs: Forgone Benefits\u2009c ($0.10) to ($0.23) ($0.09) to ($0.21). Benefits: Cost Savings from Increased Manufacturers' and Retailers' Revenues $0.01 Net Benefits ($0.09) to ($0.22) ($0.08) to ($0.20). a\u2009All estimates in this table are rounded to one decimal point, so numbers may not sum due to independent rounding. All estimates reflect the primary scenario (Scenario 2) as described in the supplemental RIA. b\u2009All estimates are for the timeframe from 2019 to 2022 inclusive. All estimates reflect the primary scenario (Scenario 2) for this proposal. These results include units anticipated to come online and the lowest cost disposal assumption. These cost savings are presented in the supplemental RIA. The monetized forgone net benefits at a 3% interest rate are minimally different than those calculated at a 7% interest rate. c\u2009The total monetized forgone benefits reflect the forgone human health benefits associated with reducing exposure to PM2.5 through reductions of directly emitted PM2.5. Monetized forgone benefits include many, but not all, health effects associated with PM2.5 exposure. Forgone benefits are shown as a range from Krewski et al. (2009) to Lepeule et al. (2012). We do not report the total monetized forgone benefits by PM2.5 species.\nIn addition, Table 4 reports the present values and equivalent annualized values of the net benefits discounted at 7 and 3 percent. EAV are the annualized present values, or the levelized flow of the present values (PV), over the three years affected by the proposal. The PV of the net benefits are negative $0.07 billion to negative $0.19 billion when using a 7 percent discount rate and negative $0.07 billion to negative $0.20 billion when using a 3 percent discount rate. The equivalent annualized values of the net benefits are negative $0.06 billion to negative $0.15 billion per year when using a 7 percent discount rate and negative $0.08 billion to negative $0.20 billion per year when using a 3 percent discount rate. The negative values indicate that EAV of the estimated benefits (cost savings) of the proposal are smaller than the EAV of estimated costs (forgone benefits). All these estimates are in 2016 dollars and are discounted to 2016.\nTable 4\u2014Estimated Present Values and Equivalent Annualized Values of the Benefits, Costs, and the Net Benefits of the New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces NSPS Proposal [Billions of 2016] 7% Discount rate PV EAV 3% Discount rate PV EAV Benefits\u20091 $0.025 $0.01 $0.029 $0.01. Costs\u20092 ($0.09) to ($0.21) ($0.07) to ($0.16) ($0.10) to ($0.23) ($0.09) to ($0.21). Net Benefits ($0.07) to ($0.19) ($0.06) to ($0.15) ($0.07) to ($0.20) ($0.08) to ($0.20). 1\u2009The EAV of benefits are the EAV of the cost savings. 2\u2009The EAV of costs are calculated from the PV of the forgone monetized benefits. Results are rounded to two significant figures. Totals may not sum due to rounding. Values in parentheses are negative.\nFor more information on the forgone benefits analysis, the cost analysis and the calculation of net benefits, please refer to the supplemental RIA prepared for this proposed rulemaking under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0195.\nThis action is expected to be an Executive Order 13771 deregulatory action. Details on the estimated cost savings of this proposed rule can be found in the rule's economic analysis. See section VI of this preamble.\nThis action does not impose any new information collection burden under the PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection activities contained in the existing regulations and assigned OMB Control number 2060-01 for 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA and OMB Control number 2060-0693 for 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ. This action is believed to result in no changes to the information collection requirements of the 2015 Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-air Furnaces rule, so that the information collection estimate of project cost and hour burden from the 2015 final rule have not been revised.\nI certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no net burden, or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small entities subject to the rule. This proposed rule will not impose any new requirements on any entities because it does not impose any additional regulatory requirements relative to those specified in the 2015 NSPS. The Agency has, therefore, concluded that this action will have no net regulatory burden for all directly regulated small entities.\nThis action does not have tribal implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. This rule will not impose any requirements on tribal governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. Consistent with the EPA Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes, the EPA will provide outreach through the National Tribal Air Association and will offer consultation to tribal officials.\nThis proposed action is subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is an economically significant regulatory action as defined by Executive Order 12866. As noted in the preamble to the 2015 NSPS, the EPA does not believe that the environmental health risks or safety risks addressed by the NSPS presents a disproportionate risk to children based on distributional assessments of effects from residential wood smoke emissions (see 80 FR 13700). Although this proposed action may result in the delay of the emission reductions of some hydronic heater and forced air furnace appliances in the 2015 NSPS by up to two years, this will not alter the EPA's prior findings that on a nationwide basis, cancer risks due to residential wood smoke emissions among disadvantaged population groups generally are lower than the risks for the general population due to residential wood smoke emissions. (One of the demographic variables examined by the EPA was that of people 18 years and younger.) Furthermore, the proposed action does not affect the level of public health and environmental protection already being provided by existing NAAQS and other mechanisms in the CAA. This proposed action does not affect applicable local, state, or federal permitting or air quality management programs that will continue to address areas with degraded air quality and maintain the air quality in areas meeting current standards. Areas that need to reduce criteria air pollution to meet the NAAQS will still need to rely on control strategies to reduce emissions. To the extent that states use other mechanisms in order to comply with the NAAQS, this action will not have a disproportionate adverse effect on children's health.\nThis action is not a \u201csignificant energy action\u201d because it is not likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution or use of energy. This action allows affected wood heating devices to sustain their current levels of operation. It does not promote the reduction in energy use nor does it increase the cost of energy production. Further information on the energy impacts can be found in section VI.B of this preamble.\nThe EPA believes that this proposed action will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority populations, low-income populations or indigenous peoples as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). As noted in the preamble to the 2015 NSPS, the EPA believes that the human health or environmental risk addressed by the NSPS will not have potential disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income or indigenous populations from residential wood smoke emissions (see 80 FR 13701). Although this proposed action may result in the delay of the emission reductions of some hydronic heater and forced air furnace appliances in the 2015 NSPS by up to two years, this will not alter the EPA's prior findings that on a nationwide basis, cancer risks due to residential wood smoke emissions among disadvantaged population groups generally are lower than the risks for the general population due to residential wood smoke emissions.\nFurthermore, the overall distribution of the avoided compliance costs as well as the distribution of forgone benefits is uncertain. Although this proposed action may result in the delay of the emission reductions of some hydronic heater and forced air furnace appliances in the 2015 NSPS by up to two years, this proposed action to establish a sell-through period does not change the standards upon implementation.\nEnvironmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure.\nDated: November 21, 2018.

B. How do I obtain a copy of this document and other related information?\nIn addition to being available in the docket, an electronic copy of this action is available on the internet. Following signature by the EPA Administrator, the EPA will post a copy of this action at https://www.epa.gov/residential-wood-heaters/final-new-source-performance-standards-residential-wood-heaters.\nFollowing publication in the Federal Register, the EPA will post the Federal Register version of this notice at this same website.\nSection 111 of the CAA requires the EPA Administrator to list categories of stationary sources that, in his or her judgment, cause or contribute significantly to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. The EPA must then issue \u201cstandards of performance\u201d for new sources in such source categories. The EPA has the authority to define the source categories, determine the pollutants for which standards should be developed, and identify within each source category the facilities for which standards of performance would be established.\nSection 111(a)(1) of the CAA defines \u201ca standard of performance\u201d as \u201ca standard for emissions of air pollutants which reflects the degree of emission limitation achievable through the application of the best system of emission reduction (BSER) which (taking into account the cost of achieving such reduction and any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirement) the Administrator determines has been adequately demonstrated.\u201d This definition makes clear that the standard of performance must be based on measures that constitute BSER, while taking into account multiple statutory factors. The standard that the EPA develops, based on the BSER, is commonly a numerical emission limit, expressed as a performance level. As provided in CAA 111(b)(5), the EPA does not prescribe a specific technology that must be used to comply with a standard of performance. Rather, sources generally can select any measure or combination of measures that will achieve the emission level of the standard. Where certain statutory criteria are met, the EPA may promulgate design, equipment, work practice or operational standards instead of a numerical standard of performance. See CAA 111(h)(1) and (2).\nThe Residential Wood Heaters source category is different from most NSPS source categories in that it applies to mass-produced residential consumer products. Thus, an important consideration in determining the emission limit that is achievable through the application of the BSER here is the cost to both manufacturers and consumers as well as any potential environmental impact of delaying production while wood heating devices with those systems are designed, tested, field evaluated and certified.\nSection 111(b)(1)(B) of the CAA requires that the standards be effective upon promulgation of the NSPS. Given this statutory requirement, as discussed more fully in the Federal Register notice for the 2015 NSPS rulemaking (80 FR 13672), the EPA adopted the stepped (phased) approach for residential wood heaters, hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces to provide sufficient implementation time for manufacturers and retailers to comply with the Step 2 limits. That is, for the 2015 NSPS rulemaking, the EPA determined that certain emission limits phased in over time reflect the degree of emission limitation achievable through the application of BSER.\nOn February 3, 2014, the EPA proposed revisions to the NSPS (see 79 FR 6330) and published notice of its final rule making revisions on March 16, 2015 (see 80 FR 13672). The final 2015 NSPS updated the 1988 Wood Heater NSPS emission limits, eliminated exemptions over a broad suite of residential wood combustion devices, and updated test methods and the certification process. The 2015 NSPS also added a new subpart (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ) that covers new wood burning residential hydronic heaters and new forced-air furnaces.\nFor this action, the term \u201cwood heaters\u201d refers to all appliances covered in 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA, and the terms \u201chydronic heaters\u201d and \u201cforced-air furnaces\u201d refer to appliances covered in 40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ. Also, for this action, the term \u201cwood heating devices\u201d refers to all units, collectively, regulated by the 2015 NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subparts AAA and QQQQ).\nIn promulgating the 2015 NSPS, the EPA took a \u201cstepped compliance approach\u201d in which certain \u201cStep 1\u201d standards would become effective in May 2015, and more stringent \u201cStep 2\u201d standards would become effective five years later, in May 2020. Considering that over 90 percent of wood heating device manufacturers and retailers are small businesses, the Agency adopted this two-phased implementation approach to try to provide manufacturers adequate lead time to develop, test, field evaluate and certify technologies across their product lines to meet the Step 2 emission limits.\nThe Step 1 standard reflected demonstrated wood heater technologies at the time. For wood heaters, the Step 1 limit was based on the Washington State standard that had been in effect since 1995 and had been met by most wood heater manufacturers. For hydronic heaters, the Step 1 emission limit was based on the 2010 Phase 2 Voluntary Hydronic Heater Program. The Step 1 standard for forced-air furnaces was what the EPA concluded would be immediately achievable based on a limited dataset (see 80 FR 13693).\nFor the Step 1 standards, the EPA provided a \u201csell-through\u201d period of seven and a half months, until December 2015, to allow retailers additional time after the effective date of the rule to sell the non-compliant wood heaters and hydronic heaters remaining in inventory (see 80 FR 13685). Specifically, the 2015 NSPS allowed non-compliant wood heaters and hydronic heaters manufactured before May 15, 2015, to be imported and/or sold at retail through December 31, 2015 (see 40 CFR 60.532(a) and 60.5474(a)(1)).2 For the Step 2 standards, the EPA did not provide a sell-through period following the May 2020 compliance date. The EPA concluded at the time that the 5-year period leading up to the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date would provide manufacturers with sufficient lead time to develop, test and certify Step 2-compliant wood heating devices (see 80 FR 13676). However, in light of concerns raised by manufacturers, in a separate rulemaking action, the Agency is proposing a 2-year sell-through period for certain types of wood heating devices that are manufactured before the May 2020 compliance date to be imported and/or sold at retail.\n2\u2009The EPA did not provide any sell-through period for forced-air furnaces because the EPA determined that the requirements that became effective for these heaters in May 2015 (to revise the owner manuals, and training and marketing materials) could be accomplished without disrupting sales and creating undue burden on manufacturers or retailers (see 80 FR 13682 and 13685).\nA major component of demonstrating compliance with both the Step 1 and Step 2 standards is a certification test, using an EPA-specified test method, for a given wood heating device. Among other requirements, the emissions from the certification test cannot exceed the emission limit for the standard for which it is certifying (either Step 1 or Step 2). It is worth noting that, because these certification test methods were developed outside of the 2015 NSPS, they have their own requirements independent of the 2015 NSPS, such as fuel requirements.\nAnother important point is that the EPA-specified test methods may not reflect how a typical consumer uses the device. Some test methods require the use of crib wood,3 which is air-dried dimensional lumber, rather than typical cord wood,4 or firewood. Additionally, the EPA-specified test methods direct the certification laboratory to target specific burn rate categories for performance assessment purposes.\n3\u2009Crib wood fuel is air dried, dimensional cut Douglas fir lumber, arranged in the firebox per the EPA Method 28R.\n4\u2009Cord wood fuel is traditional firewood cut to nominal commercial sale length and air dried.\nThe EPA has worked with a wide array of stakeholders, including but not limited to industry, states, and non-governmental organizations, in implementing the 2015 NSPS and received feedback from these stakeholders on how to improve the 2015 NSPS. Based on this feedback, the EPA is soliciting comments on the following 10 topics:\nA. Test Methods\u2014Transition to Cord Wood\nAs discussed at 80 FR 13678, 13684 and 13690 in the 2015 NSPS, the EPA contemplated requiring \u201creal world\u201d cord wood test methods for the Step 2 standards in the final rule. However, the Agency determined that it was premature to require a cord wood based-Step 2 emission limit (except for forced-air furnaces for which CSA B415.1-10 already specified cord wood as the test fuel) because no cord wood test method for wood heaters was available at that time. Rather, the EPA based the Step 2 emission limit on crib wood test data but included a voluntary alternative cord wood compliance option and emission limit to encourage manufacturers to certify with cord wood as soon as possible to provide consumers with better information for actual in-home-use performance. Recently, the EPA approved the use of ASTM 3053-17, finalized in November 2017, through the EPA's Broadly Applicable Test Methods approval process. Broadly applicable test methods Alt-125 and Alt-127 (https://www.epa.gov/emc/broadly-applicable-approved-alternative-test-methods) are now available for manufacturers wishing to use this voluntary cord wood compliance option.\nAs the 2015 NSPS did not include a new test method intended to provide \u201creal world\u201d data through cord wood compliance testing, the EPA has received many informal comments and taken part in several discussions concerning the differences between the existing compliance test methods and \u201creal world\u201d cord wood compliance testing. These discussions have led the EPA to review existing wood appliance test methods and conduct research into the data sets provided by those test methods. In doing so, the Agency recognizes a need to better understand what compliance test procedures are necessary in order to provide a cord wood emissions test data set that serves both the compliance test benchmark (pass/fail) and \u201creal world\u201d data collection to support other regulatory needs. Our review of existing test methods has focused on two distinct facets of the testing procedures: (1) Particulate collection and measurement during the testing; and (2) operation and fueling of an appliance during the testing. Each of these two pathways is currently represented in our compliance testing paradigms by a separate test methodology. For example, ASTM E2515-11 serves as the particulate collection and measurement test method for all existing NSPS compliance test requirements, but this test method is always used in conjunction with any one of several different operation and fueling protocols, such as the EPA Method 28R for crib wood fuel testing of a wood heater or the EPA Method 28WHH for crib wood fuel testing of a hydronic heater. There is inherent variability in each facet of the testing, and the overall variability of the testing result combines the variability inherent to each facet. The EPA recognizes that moving away from a crib wood fuel compliance testing paradigm to a cord wood fuel compliance paradigm involves the introduction of the additional variability inherent to cord wood fuel including the use of various species of cord wood fuel across different regions of the U.S. and in different countries where compliance testing may occur. In that light, a review of test method processes and procedures is appropriate with respect to handling this additional and unknown variability, and the Agency is seeking public comment regarding the direction and extent to which the EPA should undertake such evaluations of existing test methods, including the scope of test method, appropriateness of testing procedures, validation of test methodology, and revision and/or developing new compliance test methods not currently associated with the existing NSPS standards. To inform comments, the Agency would point out that the EPA has an existing guideline covering Validation and Peer Review of test methods: (https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2016-02/documents/chemical_method_guide_revised_020316.pdf). While the EPA Methods 5H and 5G (both particulate test methods) underwent a similar review prior to their publication in the 1988 NSPS (see: R. Gay and J. Shah, Technical Support Document For Residential Wood Combustion, EPA-450/4-85-012, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC, February 1986), those are the only wood burning appliance test methods upon which the EPA has collected such data and done such analysis. The EPA Method 5G is closely related to the current ASTM E2515-11, which is required for measuring particulate throughout the 40 CFR part 60, subparts AAA and QQQQ, and so some understanding of this method variability of ASTM E2515-11 exists through our understanding of the EPA Method 5G. Beyond particulate measurement, the EPA's Method 28, Method 28R, Method 28WHH, Method 28WHH-PTS and all other operation and fueling protocols required by 40 CFR part 60, subparts AAA and QQQQ have not been individually validated or assessed through such a process.\nIn addition to the lack of information surrounding the validation of these operating and fueling protocols, the Agency recognizes the need to understand the variability introduced to a compliance test protocol through the combustion of various fuel species. Beyond this, the Agency seeks comment on the need to develop a thorough understanding of appliance use and emissions from typical appliance operations such as startup, refueling (adding logs) and other common modes of operation more representative of actual in-home use than the \u201chigh burn, mid burn, and low burn\u201d modes currently required by Method 28R and/or similar operating conditions required by the various operating and fueling protocols throughout 40 CFR part 60, subparts AAA and QQQQ. The Agency realizes that \u201creal-world\u201d data collection stems from an understanding of the actual in-home use of the appliance, and any compliance test paradigm relies on consistent application of appliance fueling and operation during performance tests and, while our existing compliance paradigms provide some testing consistency, the Agency would like information supporting their use or specific information as to more appropriate compliance operation and fueling protocol direction for this program.\nThe EPA seeks comment on whether existing operation and fueling protocols are suited to deliver an appropriate compliance test result and if existing operation and fueling protocols are suited to deliver \u201creal world\u201d emissions data where such data are a necessary output of this program. The EPA also seeks comment on the need to validate existing operation and fueling protocols and/or expend time and resources to develop new validated operation and fueling protocol methods in support of cord wood fuel compliance testing and providing such \u201creal world\u201d emissions data from those tests. Relatedly, the EPA also seeks comment with respect to developing new emission standards to correspond with new test methods, if new test method development is found to be necessary. Commenters should provide relevant information and data to support their comments.\nB. Feasibility of the Step 2 Compliance Date of May 15, 2020\nWhile some manufacturers have begun manufacturing Step 2-compliant units, the EPA has learned of issues with compliance with these emission limits by the May 15, 2020, deadline. In the 2015 NSPS, the EPA concluded that the 5-year period leading up to the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date would provide manufacturers with sufficient lead time to develop, test and certify Step 2-compliant wood heating devices (see 80 FR 13676).5\n5\u2009The EPA provided further explanation in the 2015 Response to Comments (RTC) document (Docket ID EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0734-1775). On page 99 of the RTC, the EPA noted that the 5-year period from 2015 to 2020 \u201cmatches the window of time many manufacturers noted they would require to conduct research and development (R&D) and bring a new model to market,\u201d and on page 231 of the RTC, the EPA concluded that the Step 2 standards provide \u201cappropriate lead times for manufacturers to redesign their model lines to accommodate the improved technology across multiple model lines and test, field evaluate, and certify new model lines.\u201d\nThe Step 1 emission standards reflected demonstrated wood heater technologies at that time. Step 2 standards were deemed to be reasonable levels of emission control five years after promulgation. As a part of the 2015 rulemaking, the EPA identified the percentage of wood heaters estimated to be meeting the Step 2 standards prior to promulgation of the 2015 NSPS as 70 percent of pellet stoves and 26 percent of wood stoves. Similarly, 18 percent of hydronic heaters were meeting the Step 2 standards prior to promulgation of the 2015 NSPS, while the limited dataset for forced-air furnaces showed no models meeting the Step 2 standards prior to promulgation of the 2015 NSPS. As of March 20, 2018, there were a total of 78 (44 pellet and 34 crib/cord wood) models that when certified for the Step 1 and Step 2 standards reported emission levels that met the Step 2 standard for wood heaters (as required under 40 CFR 60.532(b) or 60.532(c)). In addition, there are nine models that met the Step 2 standard for hydronic heaters (as required under 40 CFR 60.5474(a)(2) or (b)(3)) and one model that met the Step 2 standard for forced-air furnaces (as required under 40 CFR 60.5474(a)(6)) based on the Step 2 certification process. The inventory of certified models as of March 2018 is provided in the document titled: \u201cList of EPA certified Wood Heating Devices March 2018,\u201d which is available in the docket and at the website https://www.epa.gov/compliance/wood-heater-compliance-monitoring-program. The EPA requests comment and information regarding the percentage of models referenced above that the agency projects are meeting standards for each type of equipment.\nRecently, some manufacturers have indicated that they need more time to develop, test, and certify wood heating devices that meet the Step 2 standard and that the costs of Step 2 compliance are beyond what the industry can bear. As a result of this input, the EPA is soliciting comment on whether it is feasible/practicable for manufacturers to meet the Step 2 emission limits by May 15, 2020. Commenters should discuss whether the Step 2 compliance date is achievable or not and should provide relevant information and data to support their position. For example, commenters may wish to address the following questions:\n1. Are there other factors that have changed or that the Agency did not consider when issuing the 2015 NSPS that have influenced whether some manufacturers are able to comply, and others are not? Why are some manufacturers able to comply with the Step 2 emission limits by May 2020 and others cannot comply by then?\n2. For manufacturers expecting to achieve Step 2 emission limits by May 2020, what is the time and cost to bring the model to market and how does this compare to the EPA's 2015 NSPS estimates? Were there other timing considerations associated with new state level requirements that were issued in the intervening time between 2015 NSPS promulgation and the May 2020 deadline that may have changed the design timeline? Do manufacturers, considering the size of their businesses, typically sell different models to meet differing state standards or do manufacturers typically have just one model for the nation? Does the manufacturer's business model and distribution chain affect their ability to comply by the compliance deadline? If so, please provide specific information on how this occurs. What is the typical engineering design cycle for small businesses and did five years provide enough time?\n3. For manufacturers that do not expect to achieve the Step 2 emission limits by May 2020, what factors are preventing your model(s) from meeting the emission limits? Are there other factors that have changed or that the Agency did not consider when issuing the 2015 NSPS that have had an effect on meeting the May 2020 emission limits? Are there features of wood heating devices that make meeting Step 2 standards more challenging or more expensive? Does a lack of desirable consumer features lead to delays in replacing older dirty stoves or promote switching to other fuels?\nThe EPA is also soliciting comment on how much the compliance date should be extended, if at all. Commenters should provide relevant information and data to support any request for an extension of the compliance date. For example, commenters may wish to address the following questions:\n1. What new factors resulted in the need for time beyond the five years of the 2015 NSPS? The Agency seeks comment and information explaining how cost affects meeting the Step 2 emission limits by May 2020, including why cost projections have changed since the 2015 NSPS, along with relevant data on the cost of research and development, certification testing, and bringing a model to market. Are there other cost considerations such as material costs, warranty costs, installation costs, or maintenance costs that were unexpected or different from what the Agency estimated in the 2015 NSPS? Have there been any other unforeseen impacts on costs for manufacturers due to changes in consumer preferences or attitudes towards the devices and products that would be needed to comply with Step 2? For example, would any of the new designs needed to meet the May 2020 standards impact the size of the unit, how much it would cost consumers to operate it, or change the maintenance frequency or cost?\n2. If more time is needed to meet the Step 2 emission limits, the EPA seeks comment on the time and resources devoted to research and development of a Step 2 model since 2014. Commenters should include information regarding time spent on emissions testing, and the number of runs/tests passed versus the number failed. Both manufacturer-produced test data and certified laboratory test data are of interest to the EPA. The Agency is also interested in receiving information regarding emission reduction efforts and any other information outlining attempts to develop a Step 2-compliant model.\n3. If more time is needed to meet the Step 2 emission limits, then how much additional time is needed? For example, the Agency solicits comments and detailed information regarding the timetable for conducting research and development, additional testing, developing saleable products, marketing, and any other relevant information and data that supports a request for a delayed compliance date.\nThe EPA also solicits comment on the environmental consequences and public health effects, if any, of delaying compliance.\nC. Step 2 Emission Limit for Forced-Air Furnaces\nAt the time of the 2015 NSPS, the EPA expected most forced-air furnace manufacturers to transfer technology and knowledge from wood heaters and hydronic heaters to design Step 2-compliant forced-air furnaces by the 2020 compliance date; however, the EPA is only aware of one manufacturer that has received EPA certification as being Step 2 compliant, see website: https://www.epa.gov/compliance/wood-heater-compliance-monitoring-program. Prior to the 2015 NSPS, some small forced-air furnace manufacturers had already transferred technology from wood heaters to forced-air furnaces to achieve good performance as discussed at 80 FR 13687. Several manufacturers, however, question whether it is feasible to transfer technology from hydronic heaters. These manufacturers point to the fact that space limitations may affect their ability to adequately insulate models that may be installed in close proximity to combustibles. The Agency requests comment on the installation of cord wood-fired indoor hydronic heaters without large volumes of thermal insulation around the firebox, and whether this approach is feasible and cost effective for forced-air furnaces. The EPA also seeks comment on whether technology transfer is necessary for forced-air furnaces to meet the Step 2 emission limit, and on the technological feasibility and costs of alternatives to thermal insulation around the firebox. The EPA solicits comment on the feasibility of the Step 2 limit for forced-air furnaces and what factors the Agency should consider concerning the feasibility and costs of transferring technologies from other wood heater devices to forced-air furnaces. Comments should include information and data supporting their perspective.\nAlso, since promulgating the 2015 NSPS, the EPA has received feedback from some manufacturers that complying with the Step 2 emission limit is cost prohibitive. Therefore, the EPA is soliciting comment on whether, regardless of technical feasibility concerns, it is economically feasible to comply with the Step 2 emission limit for forced-air furnaces. Commenters should explain the issues regarding costs and the feasibility/practicability for achieving the Step 2 emission limit and whether changing the Step 2 emission limit would alleviate these issues, along with data supporting the position. The EPA is also soliciting comment on the environmental and public health effects, if any, of modifying the Step 2 emission limit for forced-air furnaces.\nAs noted earlier, the EPA is also soliciting comment on the feasibility of the Step 2 compliance date of May 15, 2020. The EPA is soliciting comment on whether to extend the Step 2 compliance date for forced-air furnaces. Commenters should provide relevant information and data to support any request for a delayed compliance date. The EPA is also soliciting comment on the environmental and public health effects, if any, of potential extensions of the Step 2 compliance date for forced-air furnaces.\nD. Step 2 Emission Limit for Hydronic Heaters\nFor the 2015 NSPS, the EPA set the Step 2 emission limits based on its determination of the BSER, which takes into account the cost of achieving such reduction and any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements (See 80 FR 13687). Since promulgation, however, the EPA has received comments from industry representatives that the cost of compliance with Step 2 emission limits for hydronic heaters is exceeding the EPA's original estimation. The EPA estimated a yearly cost of $46 million (2013$), that would be incurred from 2015 to 2020, for implementation of the 2015 NSPS. Details of how costs of the 2015 NSPS were estimated can be found in Chapter 5 of the Regulatory Impact Analysis for that standard.6 Furthermore, these comments have indicated that the excess costs have made complying with the Step 2 emission limit cost prohibitive. Are there other cost considerations such as material costs, warranty costs, installation costs, maintenance costs, or other costs that were unexpected or different from what the Agency estimated in the 2015 NSPS? Have there been any other unforeseen impacts on costs for manufacturers due to changes in consumer preferences or attitudes towards the devices and products that would be needed to comply with Step 2? Therefore, the EPA is soliciting comment on the feasibility of complying with the Step 2 emission limit for hydronic heaters. Commenters should explain the issues regarding the practicability of achieving the Step 2 emission limits, whether the EPA's estimated costs are being exceeded\u20097 or if there are other aspects of the costs that the Agency had not previously considered, and whether changing the Step 2 emission limit will alleviate these issues. Commenters should provide relevant information and data to support their positions. The EPA is also soliciting comment regarding the potential environmental and public health effects, if any, of modifying the Step 2 emission limits for hydronic heaters.\n6\u2009U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Estimated Residential Wood Heater Manufacturer Cost Impacts. January 30, 2015. Available in Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0734.\nAs of March 20, 2018, there are nine models that meet the Step 2 standard for hydronic heaters (as required under 40 CFR 60.5474(a)(2) and 60.5474(b)(2) or (b)(3)), and one model that meets the Step 2 standard for forced-air furnaces (as required under 40 CFR 60.5474(a)(6) and 60.5474(b)(6)) based on the Step 2 certification process. These models are listed in the document titled \u201cList of EPA certified Wood Heating Devices March 2018,\u201d which is in the docket at EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0196. Also see link https://www.epa.gov/compliance/wood-heater-compliance-monitoring-program.\nThe EPA is requesting comment regarding these models and models that have not met the Step 2 standard for hydronic heaters and what they demonstrate about achieving the standard at a reasonable cost. Specifically, for manufacturers expecting to be unable to design a hydronic heater to meet the Step 2 standard, the EPA is interested in whether the Step 2 standard applicable to your device is achievable at a reasonable cost by the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date. The Agency is also interested in receiving information regarding efforts undertaken to design hydronic heaters to meet the applicable Step 2 standard, including cost, and if one or more models are expected to be ready for certification by the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date, when you expect to submit your application(s) for certification to the EPA.\nAs noted earlier, the EPA is also soliciting comment on the feasibility of the Step 2 compliance date of May 15, 2020. The EPA is soliciting comment on whether to extend the Step 2 compliance date for hydronic heaters. Commenters should provide relevant information and data to support any request for a delayed compliance date. The EPA is also soliciting comment on the environmental and public health effects, if any, of potential extensions of the Step 2 compliance date for hydronic heaters.\nE. Step 2 Emission Limit Based on Weighted Averages Versus Individual Burn Rates for Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces\nFor hydronic heaters, the 2015 NSPS retained the proposed Step 1 emission cap of 18 grams per hour (g/hr) for all burn rates. For forced-air furnaces, the 2015 NSPS does not require an emission cap for any burn rates for Step 1. The Step 2 requirements for hydronic heaters did not retain the g/hr cap. Instead, to balance industry's concern with the g/hr cap with concerns about very large emissions at individual burn rates, the Step 2 emission standards for hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces require the devices to meet the emission limits for crib wood and cord wood, at each individual burn rate (see 80 CFR 13684 and 13690).\nThe emission limits for hydronic heaters reflect the data available for the 2015 NSPS rulemaking, when 18 percent of hydronic heaters in the EPA's Voluntary Hydronic Heater Program already met the Step 2 standard. For forced-air furnaces, the EPA determined that research and development would be needed in order to meet the Step 2 limits.8\nIn the 2014 NSPS proposal, the EPA proposed a weighted average approach for compliance. But, because of the large emissions that could potentially result from individual burn rates, along with the proposed weighted average approach, the EPA also proposed a g/hr cap for the certification test. Comments received from industry representatives in 2014 suggested that the g/hr emission cap would be too difficult to meet. To accommodate these concerns, and after considering other public comments, the EPA finalized the emission standards without a g/hr cap but required the devices to meet the emission limit at each individual burn rate to prevent large emission discharges.\nBased on concerns raised since promulgating the 2015 NSPS, the EPA is soliciting comment on determining compliance with weighted averages instead of individual burn rates. Commenters should describe the relevant issues pertaining to compliance with the Step 2 emission limit with individual burn rates versus a weighted average and also include data to support their position. Commenters should also discuss and support with data how a weighted average would impact emissions and compliance costs.\nF. Step 2 Emission Limit for Wood Heaters\nAs of March 20, 2018, there were a total of 78 models that when certified for the Step 1 and Step 2 standards reported emission levels that meet the Step 2 standard for wood heaters (as required under 40 CFR 60.532(b) or 60.532(c)). These models are listed in the document titled \u201cList of EPA certified Wood Heating Devices March 2018,\u201d which is in the docket at EPA-HQ-OAR-2018-0196. Also see link https://www.epa.gov/compliance/wood-heater-compliance-monitoring-program.\nThe EPA is requesting comment on all aspects of the costs associated with the Step 2 standards for wood heaters compared to the costs estimated by the EPA in the 2015 NSPS and whether Step 2 is achievable at a reasonable cost. The EPA requests comment on the potential cost difference for consumers to operate different types of wood heaters and, in particular, the cost of operating a pellet wood heater compared to the cost of operating a cord/crib wood heater.\nIf you are a manufacturer that has been unable to design a wood heater to meet the Step 2 standard, the EPA is interested in whether you think the Step 2 standard applicable to your device is achievable at a mean capital cost per model of $162,300 (for wood stoves and pellet stoves, in 2016 dollars) by the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date and whether this cost is reasonable.9 The EPA is requesting comment on the technical feasibility of achieving the Step 2 standards for 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA wood heaters including both pellet and cord/crib wood heaters and whether the Agency should consider creating separate source categories for these different wood heaters types.10 Since more pellet stoves meet Step 2 than crib/cord wood stoves, the EPA is interested in hearing from manufacturers and the public on the concept of different emission standards for pellet-fired and crib/cord wood-fired heating devices. The Agency is also interested in receiving information regarding the efforts you have undertaken to design a wood heater, both for pellet and crib/cord wood heaters, to meet the applicable Step 2 standard, including the cost of your efforts to do so. In addition, the EPA requests information on how many models of pellet and crib/cord wood heaters you expect will be and will not be ready for certification by the May 2020 Step 2 compliance date, and when you expect to submit your application(s) for certification to the EPA.\n9\u2009Estimate is based on the mean capital cost per model in Table 5-1, p. 5-5 of that RIA, escalated to 2016 dollars from the original 2013 dollar estimate of $156,000. Escalation uses the annual value of GDP implicit price deflator, which is 1.04127 higher in 2016 than 2013.\n10\u2009In the 2015 final rule, the EPA noted that it was \u201cmaking a single determination of BSER for catalytic, noncatalytic, hybrid, cord wood and pellet heaters and furnaces in order to not restrict open market competition.\u201d Furthermore, as noted in the Response to Comment document: \u201cIt is up to manufacturers to decide what combustion technology/wood fuel to use to meet the emission limits and up to consumers to decide what types of heaters they wish to purchase that are certified to meet those limits.\u201d Performance standards may drive competition in the marketplace; however, maintaining just one source category for these wood heaters may distort the marketplace and raise costs for both manufacturers and consumers if only a limited number of wood heaters or predominantly one type of wood heater can meet the Step 2 standards. Pellet wood heaters may be more readily able to meet more stringent standards due to the consistent fuel type and continual operating mode compared to crib/cord wood heaters that may require more costly redesigns to meet the Step 2 standards. In addition, the agency did not consider the lifetime operating costs in the 2015 NSPS as the difference in fuel costs between operating a crib/cord wood and pellet wood heater could be considerable over the lifetime of the wood heater if consumer choice is limited to just pellet stoves due to the Step 2 standards.\nAdditionally, the EPA has received informal comments from several parties regarding emissions testing variability and, along with those discussions, issues have been raised regarding the units or format of the Step 2 emission limit in 40 CFR 60, subpart AAA. One issue raised is that the existing emission limit in units of grams per hour (g/hr) increases variability in that the duration of the performance test directly impacts the g/hr result, thus incentivizing longer test periods. The EPA is soliciting comments on this form of the standard (g/hr) and whether it is appropriate for the purpose of defining the compliance limit and, if not, what form of a standard would be more appropriate and reasons supporting those positions. Other possible unit options for the emission limit could be g/kg or lb/mmBtu. Commenters are asked to provide relevant information and data (where available) to support their comments.\nG. The EPA Compliance Audit Testing\nThe EPA seeks comment with respect to the EPA compliance audit test provisions in the current rules (2015 NSPS), found at 40 CFR 60.533(n) (80 FR 13708) for wood heaters and at 40 CFR 60.5475(n) (80 FR 13721) for hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces. Specifically, the Agency is seeking comment on whether revisions to the current compliance audit test provisions are necessary to ensure compliance. First, the Agency is seeking comment on 40 CFR 60.533 (n)(2)(i) and 40 CFR 60.5475(n)(2)(i) regarding if it is appropriate for the EPA to select a lab to perform the audit test from any approved test laboratory, and whether the EPA should also consider using a federal laboratory. Alternatively, the EPA seeks comment on whether audit tests should be performed by the same lab that did the certification test for a given wood heater appliance. If the audit test should be done by the certifying lab, the EPA seeks comment on how to handle situations where the original certifying lab is out of business or unable to accommodate the audit test. Commenters should include any relevant information and data that support their views and comments.\nSecond, as some variability is inherent in emissions testing, the Agency is seeking comment (and information) on whether and, if so, to what degree, the EPA should consider this variability when assessing the result of an audit test to determine if a wood burning appliance successfully passed the test, or not. Please provide relevant information and data to support your comments.\nThird, the Agency is seeking comment on establishing (as well as how best to manage the regulatory cost of), through NSPS regulation, a program using ASTM E691-99 \u201cStandard Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study to Determine the Precision of a Test Method.\u201d The intent of such a program would be to develop and establish wood heating device audit test acceptability criteria, and to provide data useful to the EPA in both refining wood heating device test methodology development and in aiding the regulatory data collection with respect to wood heater, forced-air furnace, and hydronic heater emissions and standards setting processes. The EPA is also requesting comment on the cost or any concerns with specifying a specific certification lab and any discussion of the use of a federal versus a private lab. For the 2015 NSPS, the EPA estimated a cost of $63,564 for each compliance audit conducted for each hydronic heater and forced-air furnace over the period of 2015 to 2017, an estimate documented in the Supporting Statement for the standard.11\n11\u2009U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. NSPS for New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces (40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQQ) (Final Rule). January 2015. Pp. 11-12.\nH. ISO-Accredited Third-Party Review\nIn the 2015 NSPS, the EPA included a new feature to improve the process by which manufacturers of wood heating devices apply for certification (see 80 FR 13684, and the ISO-accredited third-party review at 80 FR 13706 and 80 FR 13719). The ISO-accredited third-party review was included in the 2015 NSPS to streamline and speed up the review process.\nThe EPA is seeking comment on whether third-party review has streamlined the process for manufacturers to submit their certification applications and/or what issues and problems stakeholders have experienced with third-party review process. The EPA also solicits suggestions for improving the third-party review and reducing regulatory burden, including what specific rule changes would be appropriate, and why. Commenters should provide relevant information and data to support their comments and suggestions.\nThe current process allows the EPA-approved certifying lab to also act as the third-party reviewer for a given appliance. Some external stakeholders have raised concerns about allowing a lab to act as both the certifying test lab and third-party reviewer for a given certification test. The EPA solicits comments as to whether an EPA-approved lab should be allowed to act as both the certifying lab and third-party reviewer. Commenters should address whether this is a problem and provide available data to support their position.\nI. Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT)\nThe EPA seeks comment on establishing electronic reporting for submitting the non-confidential business information (CBI) certification application, including the compliance test data, rather than via hard copy, to relieve manufacturer burden and enhance efficiencies. One possibility is the EPA's Electronic Reporting Tool (ERT). The ERT is a Microsoft Access\u00ae application that generates electronic versions of source test reports. Information on the ERT can be found at https://www.epa.gov/electronic-reporting-air-emissions/electronic-reporting-tool-ert. The EPA believes that using the ERT will relieve the burden on manufacturers in the certification application process by standardizing the reporting format by having specific data elements reported, thereby helping to ensure completeness and accuracy of the data submitted. As a result, the electronically submitted application with complete and accurate data will enable an efficient and timely review. In addition, because the ERT performs the required method calculations, certification test report errors will be reduced and the burden of performing these calculations manually will be eliminated for the manufacturers as well as for the third-party certifiers and the EPA reviewers. If the ERT were used, it would generate a non-CBI test report (in pdf format) along with the ERT-generated Access database (accdb) file that could be submitted to the EPA for certification and once certified, posted to the manufacturer's website. This ERT-generated test report would include a list of attachments in the ERT file but not the attachments themselves. The attachments would be contained in the ERT accdb file and if posted to the manufacturer's website would be available to the public. Posting the pdf will also address the version control concerns of the ERT-generated database file. These two components could satisfy the reporting requirements in 80 FR 13713 and 13725. The EPA seeks comment on whether to include the option of using the ERT to create a non-CBI and a CBI test report and certification package (pdf and .accdb file) that satisfies the reporting requirements in 40 CFR 60.537(f) and 60.5479(f), which requires the manufacturer to submit the results of a certification test within 60 days of completing each performance test. If the EPA changes the current provisions, the Agency expects that the manufacturers would still be required to post the full non-CBI test report (pdf with all attachments or ERT generated pdf with the Access database (accdb) file) on the manufacturer's website and submit the CBI test report separately to the EPA. Manufacturers, who claim that some of the information being submitted is CBI (e.g., design drawings), could also utilize the same non-CBI test report generated by the ERT and add the design drawings as an attachment to be submitted to the EPA as CBI in order to satisfy the requirements under 40 CFR 60.537(f) and 60.5479(f). Similarly, the non-CBI report with no CBI information attached could be posted to the manufacturer's website within 30 days of receiving a certification of compliance to satisfy 40 CFR 60.537(g) and 60.5479(g). Please provide as much detailed information as possible to support your comments regarding this approach.\nJ. Warranty Requirements for Certified Appliances\nThe 2015 NSPS requires owners or operators to operate wood heating devices consistent with the owner's manual (see 40 CFR 60.532(f)(13) and (g) and 60.5474(f)(13) and (g)). The 2015 NSPS also requires manufacturers to provide an owner's manual that clearly states that operation in a manner inconsistent with the manual, such as burning prohibited material or pellets that do not meet the minimum requirements of the 2015 Rule, would void the warranty (see 80 FR 13751, appendix I to Part 60). The cost of this requirement to provide an owner's manual is an average of $3,750 per hydronic heater or forced-air furnace model over the time period of 2015 to 2017, according to the Supporting Statement for the 2015 NSPS.12 Although numerous states expressed their support for these requirements as a mechanism to help enforce the 2015 NSPS, some stakeholders have questioned whether the EPA has the statutory authority to impose these requirements. Stakeholders have also raised other issues regarding the warranty requirements. The EPA is, therefore, soliciting comments regarding retention, revision, or elimination of the warranty requirements. For example, the EPA would be interested in hearing whether such requirements are necessary for the safe and efficient operation of the wood heater devices. Commenters supporting retention of the requirements should address whether any changes are recommended to the warranty requirements along with data, as appropriate, and an explanation to support their position. Commenters supporting elimination of the requirements should provide an explanation to support their position.\n12\u2009U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Because this action does not propose or impose any requirements, and instead seeks comments and suggestions for the Agency to consider in possibly developing a subsequent proposed rule, the various statutes and Executive Orders that normally apply to rulemaking do not apply in this case. Should the EPA subsequently determine to pursue a rulemaking, the EPA will address the statutes and Executive Orders as applicable to that rulemaking.\nDated: November 21, 2018. Andrew R. Wheeler, Acting Administrator. [FR Doc. 2018-26082 Filed 11-29-18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560-50-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 50 CFR Part 648 [Docket No. 181031994-8999-01] RIN 0648-XG608 Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Atlantic Herring Fishery; Adjustment to Atlantic Herring Specifications and Sub-Annual Catch Limits for 2019 AGENCY:\nThis action proposes an in-season adjustment to the Atlantic herring specifications and sub-annual catch limits for 2019. These adjustments are necessary to reduce 2018 herring catch limits that would otherwise remain in effect for 2019. This action is intended to prevent overfishing of the herring resource while minimizing negative social and economic impacts of reduced catch limits.\nPublic comments must be received by December 31, 2018.\n\u2022 Mail: Submit written comments to Michael Pentony, Regional Administrator, 55 Great Republic Drive, Gloucester, MA 01930. Mark the outside of the envelope, \u201cComments on Adjustments to Atlantic Herring Specifications for 2019.\u201d\nCopies of this action, including the Supplemental Environmental Assessment and the Regulatory Impact Review/Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (SEA/RIR/IRFA) prepared in support of this action, are available from Thomas A. Nies, Executive Director, New England Fishery Management Council, 50 Water Street, Mill 2, Newburyport, MA 01950. The supporting documents are also accessible via the internet at: https://www.regulations.gov/.\nCarrie Nordeen, Fishery Policy Analyst, 978-281-9272.\nWe implemented 2016-2018 Atlantic herring specifications on November 1, 2016 (81 FR 75731), as recommended by the New England Fishery Management Council. The specifications included an overfishing limit (OFL) of 111,000 mt for 2018. The acceptable biological catch (ABC) for 2018 was also set at 111,000 mt. The ABC was based on the Council's interim control rule, set equal to the OFL with at least a 50-percent probability of preventing overfishing, and consistent with the Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee's (SSC) advice. The annual catch limit (ACL) for 2018 was 104,800 mt.\nIn June 2018, a new Northeast Regional Stock Assessment Workshop (SAW) for herring, reviewed by the Stock Assessment Review Committee (SARC), was completed. The assessment concluded that although herring was not overfished and overfishing was not occurring in 2017, poor recruitment would likely result in a substantial decline in herring biomass. The stock assessment estimated that recruitment had been at historic lows during the most recent 5 years (2013-2017). The assessment projected that biomass could increase, after reaching a low in 2019, if recruitment returns to average levels, but that herring catch would need to be reduced, starting in 2018, to prevent overfishing and lower the risk of the stock becoming overfished. The final assessment summary report is available on the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) website (www.nefsc.noaa.gov/publications/).\nThe Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP) allows us to make in-season adjustments to the herring specifications and sub-ACLs, after consultation with the Council, consistent with the Herring FMP's objectives and other FMP provisions. In August 2018, at the request of the Council, we used an in-season adjustment to reduce the 2018 ACL from 104,800 mt to 49,900 mt to reduce the risk of overfishing (83 FR 42450, August 22, 2018). This ensured at least a 50-percent probability of preventing overfishing in 2018. However, assessment projections indicated that catch would need to be further reduced in 2019 to prevent overfishing and lower the risk of the stock becoming overfished.\nBy regulation, herring catch limits for 2018, as modified by the 2018 in-season adjustment, will remain in effect until replaced. At its September 2018 meeting, the Council adopted a new ABC control rule for the herring fishery developed in Amendment 8 to the Herring FMP and recommended we use an in-season adjustment to reduce 2018 herring catch limits for 2019 while it develops new specifications starting in 2020. The Council was scheduled to begin developing the 2019-2021 herring specifications at its September meeting and take final action on the new specifications at its December 2018 meeting. The Council planned for us to implement the new specifications during 2019, based on the new ABC control rule it adopted in Amendment 8. However, because of the time required for the Council to prepare the necessary documentation and for us to review and approve the control rule in Amendment 8 and implement final approved measures, the new specifications would not have been effective early enough to prevent catch from exceeding the lower catch limits required to prevent overfishing in 2019.\nProposed Adjustments to Herring Specifications\nWe are proposing to adjust the current herring specifications and sub-ACLs for 2019, consistent with the Herring FMP's objectives of preventing overfishing while maximizing social and economic benefits. We will strive to publish the final rule as close as possible to the start of the new fishing year in January 2019. The 2019 specifications and sub-ACLs proposed in this action, as well as the Council's recommendations for 2019, are shown in Table 1.\nTable 1\u20142019 Atlantic Herring Specification and Sub-ACL Alternatives (mt) Alternative 1\u2014no action Alternative 2\u2014council-\nAlternative 3\u2014proposed action Overfishing Limit 111,000 30,688 30,688 Acceptable Biological Catch 111,000 21,266 30,688 Management Uncertainty 6,200 6,200 6,200 Optimum Yield/ACL 49,900\u2009* 15,065\u2009* 24,488\u2009* Domestic Annual Harvest 104,800 15,065 24,488 Border Transfer 4,000 0 0 Domestic Annual Processing 100,800 15,065 24,488 U.S. At-Sea Processing 0 0 0 Area 1A Sub-ACL 27,743\u2009* (55.6%) 4,354\u2009* (28.9%) 7,077\u2009* (28.9%) Area 1B Sub-ACL 2,639 (5.3%) 647 (4.3%) 1,053 (4.3%) Area 2 Sub-ACL 8,200 (16.4%) 4,188 (27.8%) 6,808 (27.8%) Area 3 Sub-ACL 11,318 (22.7%) 5,876 (39%) 9,550 (39%) Fixed Gear Set-Aside 295 39 64 Research Set-Aside 3% of sub-ACLs 3% of sub-ACLs 3% of sub-ACLs *\u2009If New Brunswick weir fishery catch through October 1 is less than 4,000 mt, then 1,000 mt will be subtracted from the management uncertainty buffer and added to the ACL and Area 1A Sub-ACL.\nWe consulted with the Council on potential 2019 specifications during the Council's September 2018 meeting. At that meeting, the Council recommended that we:\n\u2022 Use the most recent assessment and projections to develop the 2019 specifications.\n\u2022 Use the ABC control rule approved by the Council in Amendment 8.\n\u2022 Maintain the sub-annual catch limits for herring management areas based on the proportions allocated in the 2016-2018 specifications package.\n\u25cb Area 1A: 28.9 percent.\n\u25cb Area 1B: 4.3 percent.\n\u25cb Area 2: 27.8 percent.\n\u25cb Area 3: 39 percent.\n\u2022 Proportionally reduce the fixed gear set-aside allocation which is based on a small weir fishery west of Cutler, ME.\n\u2022 Set the border transfer (which allows U.S. vessels to transfer herring to Canadian vessels to be processed as food) at 0 mt.\nBased on the best available science, we are proposing to reduce the OFL for 2019 to 30,688 mt. The Herring FMP specifies that the OFL must be equal to catch resulting from applying the maximum fishing mortality threshold to a current or projected estimate of stock size. When the stock is not overfished and overfishing is not occurring, this is usually the fishing rate supporting maximum sustainable yield. Catch that exceeds this amount would result in overfishing. An OFL of 30,388 mt would ensure at least a 50-percent probability of preventing overfishing in 2019. This OFL is based on projections by the SAW/SARC, as updated by NOAA's NEFSC staff using 2018 catch, and was recommended by both the SSC and the Council.\nThe Herring FMP specifies that the ABC may be equal to or less than the OFL depending on scientific uncertainty concerning stock size estimates, variability around recruitment estimates, and consideration of ecosystem issues. For the 2019 ABC reduction, we are proposing to continue applying the interim control rule that was used to set ABC in recent specifications (2016-2018). Our proposed ABC would have a 50-percent probability of preventing overfishing in 2019 and would be set equal to the OFL. In contrast, the SSC and Council recommended reducing the ABC for 2019 based on the new control rule the Council adopted in Amendment 8 that accounts for herring's role in the ecosystem. Our proposed ABC is 30,688 mt and the SSC/Council recommended ABC is 21,266 mt.\nOur proposed ABC prevents overfishing and accounts for scientific uncertainty in the short-term until we are able to consider the Council's recommendation for addressing scientific uncertainty in a long-term control rule in Amendment 8. The approach to continue using the interim control rule for 2019 is independent of and involves different considerations than our consideration of the Council's recommended control rule in Amendment 8. We expect the Council to submit Amendment 8 to us for review and approval in late 2018. Additionally, while the 2018 assessment showed that the probability of the stock becoming overfished has increased since the last stock assessment, our proposed ABC is intended to reduce the risk of the stock becoming overfished.\nWe are proposing to maintain the current management uncertainty buffer (6,200 mt), as recommended by the Council, so the resulting ACL would be 24,488 mt. This ACL is almost 10,000 mt higher than the ACL that would result from the Council-recommended ABC (15,065 mt). Allowing this additional harvest helps to achieve optimum yield (OY) by accounting for social, economic, and ecological factors, specifically the need to conserve herring biomass while mitigating severe economic hardship on the herring industry. Because the majority of herring catch is bait for the lobster fishery, we expect this additional harvest to help minimize the negative economic impacts associated with bait shortages and higher bait prices on the lobster fishery. The management uncertainty buffer, in conjunction with low fishery closure thresholds (95 percent of the ACL and 92 percent of a sub-ACL), has prevented herring catch from ever exceeding the ABC, which further minimizes the probability of overfishing.\nWe are proposing to maintain the sub-ACL allocations used in the recent specifications (2016-2018) for 2019. This means that 28.9 percent of the ACL would be allocated to Area 1A, 4.3 percent allocated to Area 1B, 27.8 percent allocated to Area 2, and 39 percent allocated to Area 3. These sub-ACL allocations were recommended by the Council for past specifications, as well as for 2019, because they do not substantially impact one stock component (inshore versus offshore) more than the other while maximizing opportunities for the fishery to achieve OY. Adjusting the sub-ACL allocations for the herring management area may have impacts beyond those we considered in this action. For that reason, we are seeking public comment on the proposed sub-ACL allocation versus other possible sub-ACL allocations that would be consistent with the Herring FMP's objectives.\nBased on the Council's recommendations, we are also proposing to reduce border transfer to 0 mt and reduce the fixed gear set-aside to 64 mt for 2019. Border transfer is a processing quota and is the maximum amount of herring that can be transshipped to Canada via Canadian carrier vessels for human consumption. Border transfer has been under-utilized in recent years, and there has been no border transfer since 2015. Reducing the border transfer to 0 mt for 2019 would ensure all herring caught in U.S. waters are available to U.S. Federal dealers for lobster bait or human consumption. Additionally, we are proposing that the fixed gear set-aside be reduced proportionally to the Area 1A sub-ACL to 64 mt. The Herring FMP allows up to 500 mt of the Area 1A sub-ACL to be allocated for the fixed gear fisheries in Area 1A (weirs and stop seines) that occur west of 67\u00b016.8\u2032 W long (Cutler, Maine). This set-aside is available for harvest by fixed gear within the specified area until November 1 of each fishing year. Any portion of this allocation that has not been harvested by November 1 is transferred back to the sub-ACL allocation for Area 1A. The proposed reduction of the fixed gear set aside is intended to allow additional herring harvest to be available to both fixed and mobile gears in Area 1A to help ensure OY is achieved. Like border transfer, the fixed gear set-aside has been under-utilized in recent years. Fixed gear landings tracked against the set-aside have averaged less than 12 mt in the past 5 years.\nThe Herring FMP requires we adjust for catch overages and underages in a subsequent year. Total catch in 2017 did not reach or exceed any of the management area sub-ACLs, so typically we would carryover those underages, or a portion of the underages, to increase sub-ACLs in 2019. However, to help ensure catch does not exceed the ABC/OFL in 2019 and to help prevent overfishing, we are proposing to not increase any sub-ACLs in 2019 based on carryover from underages in 2017.\nAll other herring specifications for 2019, including the river herring and shad catch caps, would remain unchanged from 2018. While our proposed adjustments to the herring specifications in 2019 are generally consistent with the Council's recommendations, our proposed ABC and the resulting ACL and sub-ACLs are not as conservative as those recommended by the Council. However, the specifications proposed in this action are expected to prevent overfishing and reduce the risk of the stock becoming overfished. We expect that implementing an ABC lower than the 30,688 mt ABC proposed in this action would not increase the probability of preventing overfishing or the stock from becoming overfished enough to outweigh the increased financial hardship on the herring and lobster fisheries. If herring specifications are too low, they may preclude a viable fishery in 2019 and some businesses may not be sustainable and may fail. Our proposed specifications for 2019 are intended to balance preventing overfishing and maintaining a viable herring fishery to achieve OY, while we consider approval and implementation of a long-term ABC control rule in Amendment 8 to the Herring FMP.\nHerring Research Set-Aside Announcement\nWe are soliciting public comment on the Herring Research Set-Aside (RSA) program awards for 2019-2021. The Herring RSA Program allocates up to 3 percent of each management area sub-ACL annually, as established by the Council in Amendment 1 to the Herring FMP (72 FR 11251, March 12, 2007). Exempted Fishing Permits (EFPs) exempting vessels from certain herring management regulations have been routinely approved since 2007 to support compensation fishing that funds herring-related research consistent with RSA priorities identified by the Council. By continuing to issue these EFPs we would facilitate compensation fishing in support of the projects funded under the 2019 Herring RSA Program. Herring RSA proposals for 2019 are currently under review with the NEFSC, with selections expected in late November or early December of this year. RSA compensation fishing may be allowed as early as January 2019.\nConsistent with previous herring RSA compensation fishing EFPs, vessels would be authorized to harvest herring RSA after a herring management area sub-ACL had been caught and the directed herring fishery is limited to a 2,000 lb (907.2 kg) limit of herring per day/trip. It would also allow vessels to harvest RSA during times when the sub-ACLs were not seasonally available for harvest, specifically during January through May in Area 1A and January through April in Area 1B. RSA grant recipients would be required to meet all EFP application requirements prior to the issuance of the EFPs.\nIf approved, the EFP applicants may request minor modifications and extensions to the EFP throughout the year. EFP modifications and extensions may be issued without further notice if they are deemed essential to facilitate completion of the proposed research and have minimal impacts that do not change the scope of the initially approved EFP request. Any fishing activity conducted outside the scope of the exempted fishing activity would be prohibited.\nThe NMFS Assistant Administrator has determined that this proposed rule is consistent with the Herring FMP, national standards and other provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), and other applicable law.\nThis proposed rule is exempt from review under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 because this action contains no implementing regulations.\nNMFS prepared an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA) for this proposed rule, as required by section 603 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 603. The IRFA describes the economic impact that this proposed rule would have on small entities, including small businesses, and also determines ways to minimize these impacts. The IRFA includes this section of the preamble to this rule and analyses contained in the SEA/RIR/IRFA for this action. A copy of the full analysis is available from the Council (see ADDRESSES). A summary of the IRFA follows.\nDescription of the Reasons Why Action by the Agency Is Being Considered and Statement of the Objectives of, and Legal Basis for, the Proposed Rule\nThis action proposes in-season adjustments to the herring specifications and sub-ACLs for 2019. A complete description of the reasons why this action is being considered, and the objectives of and legal basis for this action, are contained in the preamble to this proposed rule and are not repeated here.\nThe RFA recognizes three kinds of small entities: Small businesses, small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes of the RFA only, the small business criteria in the finfish fishing industry (NAICS 114111) is a firm that is independently owned and operated and not dominant in its field of operation, with gross annual receipts of $11 million or less. Small organizations and small governmental jurisdictions are not directly regulated by this action.\nThere are five permit categories in the herring fishery: (1) Limited access permit for all management areas (Category A); (2) limited access permit for access to Areas 2 and 3 only (Category B); (3) limited access incidental catch permit for 25 mt per trip (Category C); (4) an open access incidental catch permit for 3 mt per trip (Category D); and (5) an open access permit for limited access mackerel permit holders authorizing up to 9 mt per trip (Category E) in Areas 2 and 3.\nIn 2017 there were a total of 1,566 permitted herring vessels. Of those, 1,434 were exclusively Category D vessels. Of the remaining 132 permitted herring vessels, 22 belonged to large businesses. Every Category B permit was also authorized for Category C, and all but one Category E permitted vessel also carried a Category D authorization. We included Category E vessels that also have Category D authorization in the analysis. Table 2 presents the counts of permitted vessels by category along with their affiliated entity's small or large business status (the status of the company that holds the herring permit).\nTable 2\u2014Number of Herring Permits by Category, 2015-2017 Herring permit categories Number of herring permits 2015 Large Small 2016 Large Small 2017 Large Small A 5 32 5 30 6 30 B/C 4 4 4 4 4 4 C (exclusive) 3 37 3 37 3 37 D (exclusive) 112 1222 115 1306 114 1320 E 9 39 9 40 9 39 Total 133 1334 136 1417 136 1430 Source: NMFS.\nTable 3 refines the counts from Table 2 to include only those vessels that had revenue from herring at least once in the 3-year period of analysis. In 2017, there were 4 large businesses and 69 small that had revenue from herring.\nTable 3\u2014Number of Herring Permits With Herring Revenue, 2015-2017 Herring permit categories Number of herring permits 2015 Large Small 2016 Large Small 2017 Large Small A 4 20 4 19 4 19 B/C 0 2 0 2 0 3 C (exclusive) 0 11 0 9 0 12 D (exclusive) 0 27 0 29 0 31 E 0 4 0 1 0 4 Total 4 64 4 60 4 69 Source: NMFS\nFinally, Table 4 defines the small entities affected by this proposed action\u2014small businesses with a Herring Category A, B, C, or E permit and revenue from herring during the 2015-2017 period of analysis. There were 37, 31, and 38 such vessels in 2015, 2016, and 2017 respectively.\nTable 4\u2014Affected Small Entities, Permitted Herring Vessels With Herring Revenue, 2015-2017 Herring permit categories Number of herring permits 2015 Large Small 2016 Large Small 2017 Large Small A 4 20 4 19 4 19 B/C 0 2 0 2 0 3 C (exclusive) 0 11 0 9 0 12 E 0 4 0 1 0 4 Total 4 37 4 31 4 38 Source: NMFS.\nTo better understand the impact of this action on the affected small businesses, we compared the revenue from herring fishing to total revenue brought in by the entity (business) that holds the herring permit. The 17 to 18 small entities with Category A permits show the most dependence on the herring fishery, with 49.75 percent to 62.03 percent of their revenue coming from herring landings. The 4 small Category E permitted entities have the least dependence on the herring fishery with less than one percent of total entity revenue coming from the herring fishery.\nThis proposed rule does not introduce any new reporting, recordkeeping, or other compliance requirements.\nFederal Rules Which May Duplicate, Overlap, or Conflict With the Proposed Rule\nThis action does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with any other Federal rules.\nDescription of Significant Alternatives to the Proposed Action Which Accomplish the Stated Objectives of Applicable Statues and Which Minimize Any Significant Economic Impact on Small Entities\nWe are proposing to adjust the current herring specifications and sub-ACLs for 2019, consistent with the Herring FMP's objectives of preventing overfishing while maximizing social and economic benefits. Non-preferred alternatives would likely not accomplish these objectives for this action as well as the proposed action.\nAlternative 1 would not achieve the stated objectives of the action because it has a less than 50-percent probability of preventing overfishing in 2019 and, thus, is inconsistent the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Additionally, Alternative 1 would negatively impact the herring stock by increasing the probability that it would become overfished. The primary difference between Alternative 2 (Council-recommended) and Alternative 3 (proposed action) are the proposed specifications for ABC and the resulting ACL for 2019. The ABC associated with the proposed action (30,688 mt) is higher than the ABC associated with Alternative 2 (21,266 mt). After applying the management uncertainty buffer (6,200 mt) to the ABC, the resulting ACL associated with the proposed action (24,488 mt) is almost 10,000 mt higher than the ACL associated with the Alternative 2 (15,065 mt).\nWe expect that implementing an ABC lower than 30,688 mt in 2019 would not increase the probability of preventing overfishing or the stock from becoming overfished enough to outweigh the increased financial hardship on the herring and lobster fisheries. If the ACL is too low, it may preclude a viable fishery in 2019 and some businesses may not be sustainable and may fail. The proposed ABC for 2019 is intended to balance preventing overfishing and maintaining a viable herring fishery to achieve OY, while we consider approval and implementation of a long-term ABC control rule in Amendment 8 the Herring FMP.\nDated: November 27, 2018.

Copies of the submission(s) may be obtained by calling (202) 720-8958.\nTitle: Specimen Submission.\nSummary of Collection: The Animal Health Protection Act of 2002 (AHPA) is the primary Federal law governing the protection of animal health. The law gives the Secretary of Agriculture broad authority to detect, control, or eradicate pests or diseases of livestock or poultry. Disease prevention is the most effective method for maintaining a healthy animal population and for enhancing the United States' ability to globally compete in the trade of animals and animal products. VS Forms 10-4 and 10-4A, Specimen Submission are critical components of APHIS' disease surveillance mission. They are used routinely when specimens (such as blood, milk, tissue, or urine) from any animal (including cattle, swine, sheep, goats, horses, and poultry) are submitted to APHIS' National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) for disease testing. VS Form 5-38, Parasite Submission form, is completed by State veterinarians or other State representatives, accredited veterinarians, private laboratories, research institutions, and owners or producer.\nNeed and Use of the Information: Using the Specimen Submission Form and Continuation Sheet (APHIS VS 10-4 & 10-4A), State or Federal veterinarians, accredited veterinarians, or other State and Federal representatives will document the collection and submission of specimens for laboratory analysis. The form identifies the individual animal from which the specimen is taken as well as the animal's herd or flock; the type of specimen submitted, and the purpose of submitting the specimen. Occasionally the time pressures exerted by or field conditions existing during a disease outbreak leave submitters no time to find or fill out the 10-4; thus, a Nonconforming Submission using whatever scrap of paper is handy. The National Tick Surveillance Program is based on the information submitted on the Parasite Submission Form (VS 5-38), in addition to critical surveillance information needed for the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program. This information identifies the individual submitting the tick samples. Without the information APHIS would not have the critical information necessary to effectively operate a disease surveillance program.\nRuth Brown, Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.

This exempted fishing permit would allow participating groundfish bottom and midwater trawl vessels more flexibility than allowed in current regulations to target pelagic rockfish species, such as widow, chilipepper, and yellowtail rockfish.

Attachments to electronic comments would be accepted in Microsoft Word, Excel, or Adobe PDF file formats only.\nLynn Massey, West Coast Region, NMFS, at (562) 436-2462, [email protected]\nThis action is authorized by the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and implementing regulations at 50 CFR 600.745, which allow NMFS Regional Administrators to authorize exempted fishing permits (EFPs) to test fishing activities that would otherwise be prohibited.\nIn 2017, NMFS permitted 32 vessels to fish under the 2017 Trawl Gear EFP. The EFP exempted limited entry bottom and midwater trawl vessels from the minimum mesh size requirement, and exempted limited entry bottom trawl vessels from the requirement to use selective flatfish trawl gear shoreward of the Trawl Rockfish Conservation Area (RCA) north of 42\u00b0 North latitude (N lat). The purpose of this EFP was to collect information on potential impacts to prohibited and protected species from modifying or eliminating certain gear and area regulations by allowing participants to configure their gear to re-establish a targeted rockfish fishery for widow, yellowtail, and chilipepper rockfish. From March 2017 to December 2017, a total of 11 limited entry groundfish bottom trawl vessels went on 63 EFP trips and landed 1,355 metric tons (mt) of groundfish, totaling $1,613,178 in revenue. Prohibited species bycatch included five Chinook salmon and no sturgeon.\nTo continue collecting information on the impacts of modifying or eliminating gear and area regulations, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) recommended and NMFS issued, a 2018 Trawl Gear EFP that expanded on the 2017 Trawl Gear EFP. As with the 2017 EFP, the 2018 EFP was intended to collect data on if and how the removal of certain gear, time, and area restrictions for the Shorebased Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program may impact the nature and extent of prohibited species bycatch. In addition to the exemptions provided by the 2017 Trawl Gear EFP (i.e., required minimum mesh size and requirement to use a selective flatfish trawl shoreward of the Trawl RCA and north of 42\u00b0 N lat.), the 2018 Trawl Gear EFP provided participating vessels exemptions from the following limited entry prohibitions:\n\u2022 Fishing with midwater groundfish trawl gear north of 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat. in all areas (i.e., seaward, within, and shoreward of the RCA) prior to May 15th each year;\n\u2022 Fishing with midwater groundfish trawl gear south of 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat. within the boundaries of the Trawl RCA;\n\u2022 Bringing a new haul onboard before a previous haul is stowed; and\n\u2022 Carrying and fishing more than one type of groundfish trawl gear (midwater and bottom trawl gear) on the same trip.\nThe 2018 Trawl Gear EFP began on January 1, 2018. As of October 23, 2018, a total of 15 vessels (7 midwater-only trawlers, 4 bottom-only trawlers, and 4 that used both gears) have completed 289 EFP trips and landed approximately 9,000 mt of groundfish, totaling approximately $7 million in revenue. Those vessels harvested 213 Chinook salmon and no sturgeon or coho salmon.\nAt the June 2018 Council meeting, the 2017 and 2018 Trawl Gear EFP applicants submitted a modified EFP application titled, \u201cYear-round Coastwide Midwater Rockfish EFP: Monitoring and Minimizing Salmon Bycatch When Targeting Rockfish in the Shorebased IFQ Fishery\u201d (herein referred to as the \u201c2019 Trawl Gear EFP\u201d). At the September 2018 meeting, the Council recommended that NMFS implement this EFP for 2019, and made a preliminary determination to recommend the EFP to NMFS for 2020. Separately, NMFS has issued a proposed trawl gear rule that would incorporate some of the exemptions included in the 2017 and 2018 EFPs into the groundfish regulations (Proposed rule: 83 FR 45396, September 7, 2018; final rule expected to publish in late November/early December 2018). The exemptions authorized under this 2019 Trawl Gear EFP will be finalized following the publication of the trawl gear rule so that the EFP does not include exemptions from requirements which may be removed from regulations by the rule. The 2019 Trawl Gear EFP is anticipated to include, at a minimum, exemptions from the following limited entry restrictions:\n\u2022 The requirement to use selective flatfish trawl gear, and the prohibition on using small footrope trawl gear, other than selective flatfish trawl gear, shoreward of the Trawl RCA between 42\u00b0 N lat. and 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat.;\n\u2022 The prohibition on fishing with midwater groundfish trawl gear north of 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat. in all areas (i.e., seaward, within, and shoreward of the RCA) prior to May 15th each year;\n\u2022 The prohibition on fishing with midwater groundfish trawl gear south of 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat. within the boundaries of the Trawl RCA; and\n\u2022 The prohibition on retaining certain prohibited species.\nIf NMFS approves this EFP, vessels fishing on an EFP trip with limited entry bottom trawl gear would be permitted to use any small footrope gear that meets the definition in regulations at \u00a7\u2009660.11 shoreward of the Trawl RCA and between 42\u00b0 N lat. and 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat. Vessels fishing on an EFP trip with limited entry midwater trawl gear would be permitted to fish within all areas north of 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat. and within the boundaries and seaward of the Trawl RCA south of 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat. Midwater trawling will still be prohibited shoreward of the Trawl RCA south of 40\u00b010\u2032 N lat. Participating vessels would not be constrained to the Pacific whiting primary season dates in existing groundfish regulations (see CFR 660.131). Participating vessels would be required to carry observers or use a NMFS-approved electronic monitoring system on 100 percent of trips, as is currently required in the IFQ program. Participating vessels would also be required to retain all salmon (excluding salmon already sampled by the West Coast Groundfish Observer (WCGOP) program) until offloading.\nA goal of this EFP is to collect information on the effects of lifting the restrictions described above on bycatch, including bycatch of Endangered Species Act (ESA)-listed species. Previous analyses suggest that bycatch rates of ESA-listed salmon and green sturgeon could increase as a result of the increased and changes in gear configurations resulting from this EFP. However, because a targeted fishery for chilipepper, widow, and yellowtail rockfish has not existed in more than a decade, and because the current groundfish trawl fishery has changed considerably in recent years, available data may have limited utility for predicting current impacts to protected and prohibited species in fisheries conducted with the exemptions that would be allowed under the EFP. NMFS staff worked with the applicants to develop an EFP that would increase the ability of fishery participants to target pelagic rockfish species while also minimizing bycatch to the extent practicable and collecting information about bycatch. To address potential increased protected and prohibited species encounters, the EFP applicants proposed gear-based Chinook salmon bycatch limits for midwater trawl and bottom trawl EFP vessels in 2019 (based on the Council Groundfish Management Team's recommendations at the September 2018 meeting; Agenda Item I.8.a). Under this proposal, if Chinook salmon catch on EFP trips for either gear type reaches the applicable bycatch limit, NMFS would revoke the EFP for that gear type for the remainder of the year.\nDuring discussion at the September 2018 meeting, the Council recommended simplifying the EFP terms by proposing that the Chinook bycatch limits be based only on the 42\u00b0 N lat. management line, rather than by gear type north and south of the 42\u00b0 N lat. line. This recommendation would reduce unnecessary complexity while still providing adequate safeguards for limiting salmon bycatch under the EFP. If this EFP is approved, NMFS would set a bycatch limit of 1,000 Chinook salmon north of 42\u00b0 N lat. and 100 Chinook salmon south of 42\u00b0 N lat. for vessels declared into the EFP, regardless of gear type. If either of these bycatch limits are reached, NMFS would revoke the EFP for both gear types in the respective management area (i.e., north or south of 42\u00b0 N lat.).\nThe application includes a requirement to retain and land salmon bycatch on all EFP trips, consistent with current requirements for vessels participating in the shoreside Pacific whiting fishery. The intent of this provision is to provide a complete census of salmon bycatch for each EFP trip and maximize the amount of biological and genetic salmon samples. At the September 2018 meeting, the Council expressed a desire to provide state fish and wildlife agencies the opportunity to sample salmon bycatch. This sampling effort would be in addition to the salmon sampling already conducted by WCGOP. To address the request for additional sampling, the Council requested that NMFS work with NOAA's Office of Law Enforcement and state fish and wildlife agencies to establish proper chain-of-custody and sampling protocols in the event that salmon are landed. NMFS is supportive of making salmon bycatch available to state fish and wildlife agencies for additional sampling, however NMFS is confident that WCGOP's sampling approach is sufficient to collect the necessary scientific information for assessing salmon bycatch.\nThe EFP applicants have not proposed a specific list of participating vessels, but rather are proposing that NMFS publish a public notice to gauge interest from limited entry groundfish midwater and bottom trawl vessels. Depending on the amount of interest and where vessels may be fishing, NMFS may need to limit participation by time and area to mitigate potential impacts.\nInformation collected under the EFP would be used to support analysis for potential new gear regulations and modifications to existing gear regulations. Because many of the current gear regulations have been in place for more than ten years, it is difficult for NMFS, the Council, and industry to predict the impacts of removing these regulations. In the past ten years, the industry has changed significantly. Reduction in capacity, innovations in gear technologies, and changes in management have all contributed to these changes. This EFP would help demonstrate what potential impacts, if any, today's fleet may have if some of the current gear, area, and time regulations are modified from what is currently in regulation.\nNMFS is proposing to approve the 2019 Trawl Gear EFP, covering all the exemptions stated above, following the conclusion of the public comment period and review of public comment. Pending approval, NMFS would issue the permits for the EFP to the vessel owner or designated representative as the \u201cEFP holder.\u201d NMFS intends to use an adaptive management approach in which NMFS may revise requirements and protocols to improve the program without issuing another Federal Register Notice, provided that the modifications fall within the scope of the original EFP. In addition, the applicants may request minor modifications and extensions to the EFP throughout the course of research. NMFS may grant EFP modifications and extensions without further public notice if the changes are essential to facilitate completing the proposed research and result in only a minimal change in the scope or impacts of the initially approved EFP request.\nNMFS analyzed the potential effects of implementing the 2018 Trawl Gear EFP in an environmental assessment (EA), dated December 2017 (Available at: http://www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov). In that EA, NMFS stated that it anticipated issuing additional, similar, one-year EFPs that would cover a portion or all of the components discussed in the EA. Those EFPs would be supported by the analyses in the EA, as long as there were not substantial changes to the affected environment (e.g., status of the stock), components of the EFP (i.e., gear, area, and time restrictions), or unanticipated effects on the environment from permitting fishing activities that were not discussed in the EA's analysis. Since the 2019 Trawl Gear EFP meets those criteria, NMFS does not anticipate any adverse environmental impacts from the 2019 Trawl Gear EFP beyond those analyzed in the EA for the 2018 Trawl Gear and future similar EFPs. NMFS welcomes public comment on the NEPA coverage for this EFP.\nAfter publication of this document in the Federal Register, NMFS may approve and issue the EFP after the close of the public comment period. NMFS will consider comments submitted, as well as the Council's discussion at their September 2018 meeting, in deciding whether to approve the application as requested. NMFS may approve the application in its entirety or may make any alterations needed to achieve the goals of the EFP.\nDated: November 27, 2018. Karen H. Abrams, Acting Director, Office of Sustainable Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service. [FR Doc. 2018-26049 Filed 11-29-18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 3510-22-P DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration RIN 0648-XG589 Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area; Cost Recovery Programs AGENCY:\nNotice of standard prices and fee percentages.\nNMFS publishes standard prices and fee percentages for cost recovery for the Amendment 80 Program, the American Fisheries Act (AFA) Program, the Aleutian Islands Pollock (AIP) Program, and the Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) groundfish and halibut Programs. The fee percentage for 2018 is 0.75 percent for the Amendment 80 Program, 0.24 percent for the AFA inshore cooperatives, 0.34 percent for the AFA mothership cooperative, 3.0 percent for the AIP program, and 0.66 percent for the CDQ groundfish and halibut Programs. This action is intended to provide the 2018 standard prices and fee percentages to calculate the required payment for cost recovery fees due by December 31, 2018.\nThe standard prices and fee percentages are valid on November 30, 2018.\nCarl Greene, Fee Coordinator, 907-586-7105.\nSection 304(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes and requires the collection of cost recovery fees for limited access privilege programs and the CDQ Program. Cost recovery fees recover the actual costs directly related to the management, data collection, and enforcement of the programs. Section 304(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act mandates that cost recovery fees not exceed three percent of the annual ex-vessel value of fish harvested by a program subject to a cost recovery fee, and that the fee be collected either at the time of landing, filing of a landing report, or sale of such fish during a fishing season or in the last quarter of the calendar year in which the fish is harvested.\nNMFS manages the Amendment 80 Program, AFA Program, and AIP Program as limited access privilege programs. On January 5, 2016, NMFS published a final rule to implement cost recovery for these three limited access privilege programs and the CDQ groundfish and halibut programs (81 FR 150). The designated representative (for the purposes of cost recovery) for each program is responsible for submitting the fee payment to NMFS on or before the due date of December 31 of the year in which the landings were made. The total dollar amount of the fee due is determined by multiplying the NMFS published fee percentage by the ex-vessel value of all landings under the program made during the fishing year. NMFS publishes this notice of the fee percentages for the Amendment 80, AFA, AIP, and CDQ groundfish and halibut fisheries in the Federal Register by December 1 each year.\nThe fee liability is based on the ex-vessel value of fish harvested in each program. For purposes of calculating cost recovery fees, NMFS calculates a standard ex-vessel price (standard price) for each species. A standard price is determined using information on landings purchased (volume) and ex-vessel value paid (value). For most groundfish species, NMFS annually summarizes volume and value information for landings of all fishery species subject to cost recovery in order to estimate a standard price for each species. The standard prices are described in U.S. dollars per pound for landings made during the year. The standard prices for all species in the Amendment 80, AFA, AIP, and CDQ groundfish and halibut programs are listed in Table 1. Each landing made under each program is multiplied by the appropriate standard price to arrive at an ex-vessel value for each landing. These values are summed together to arrive at the ex-vessel value of each program (fishery value).\nFee Percentage\nNMFS calculates the fee percentage each year according to the factors and methods described in Federal regulations at 50 CFR 679.33(c)(2), 679.66(c)(2), 679.67(c)(2), and 679.95(c)(2). NMFS determines the fee percentage that applies to landings made during the year by dividing the total costs directly related to the management, data collection, and enforcement of each program (direct program costs) during the year by the fishery value. NMFS captures direct program costs through an established accounting system that allows staff to track labor, travel, contracts, rent, and procurement. For 2018, the direct program costs were tracked from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018 (the end of the fiscal year). The individual 2018 fee percentages for the Amendment 80 Program, the American Fisheries Act (AFA) Program, the Aleutian Islands Pollock Program, and the Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) groundfish and halibut Programs are higher relative to percentages calculated for the programs in 2017. Although fishery values in each program rose in 2018 relative to 2017, direct program costs in 2018 also rose, and contributed to the higher percentages.\nNMFS will provide an annual report that summarizes direct program costs for each of the programs in early 2019. NMFS calculates the fishery value as described under the section \u201cStandard Prices.\u201d\nAmendment 80 Program Standard Prices and Fee Percentage\nThe Amendment 80 Program allocates total allowable catches (TACs) of groundfish species, other than Bering Sea pollock, to identified trawl catcher/processors in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI). The Amendment 80 Program allocates a portion of the BSAI TACs of six species: Atka mackerel, Pacific cod, flathead sole, rock sole, yellowfin sole, and Aleutian Islands Pacific ocean perch. Participants in the Amendment 80 sector have established cooperatives to harvest these allocations. Each Amendment 80 cooperative is responsible for payment of the cost recovery fee for fish landed under the Amendment 80 Program. Cost recovery requirements for the Amendment 80 Program are at 50 CFR 679.95.\nFor most Amendment 80 species, NMFS annually summarizes volume and value information for landings of all fishery species subject to cost recovery in order to estimate a standard price for each fishery species. Regulations specify that for rock sole, NMFS shall calculate a separate standard price for two periods\u2014January 1 through March 31, and April 1 through October 31, which accounts for a substantial difference in estimated rock sole prices during the first quarter of the year relative to the remainder of the year. The volume and value information is obtained from the First Wholesale Volume and Value Report, and the Pacific Cod Ex-Vessel Volume and Value Report.\nUsing the fee percentage formula described above, the estimated percentage of direct program costs to fishery value for the 2018 calendar year is 0.75 percent for the Amendment 80 Program. For 2018, NMFS applied the fee percentage to each Amendment 80 species landing that was debited from an Amendment 80 cooperative quota allocation between January 1 and December 31 to calculate the Amendment 80 fee liability for each Amendment 80 cooperative. The 2018 fee payments must be submitted to NMFS on or before December 31, 2018. Payment must be made in accordance with the payment methods set forth in 50 CFR 679.95(a)(3)(iv).\nAFA Standard Price and Fee Percentages\nThe AFA allocates the Bering Sea directed pollock fishery TAC to three sectors\u2014catcher/processor, mothership, and inshore. Each sector has established cooperatives to harvest the sector's exclusive allocation. In 2018, the cooperatives for the mothership sector and the inshore sector are responsible for paying the fee for Bering Sea pollock landed under the AFA. Cost recovery requirements for the AFA sectors are at 50 CFR 679.66.\nNMFS calculates the standard price for pollock using the most recent annual value information reported to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game for the Commercial Operator's Annual Report and compiled in the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Gross Earnings data for Bering Sea pollock. Due to the time required to compile the data, there is a one-year delay between the gross earnings data year and the fishing year to which it is applied. For example, NMFS used 2017 gross earnings data to calculate the standard price for 2018 pollock landings.\nUnder the fee percentage formula described above, the estimated percentage of direct program costs to fishery value for the 2018 calendar year is 0.24 percent for the AFA inshore sector, and 0.34 percent for the AFA mothership sector. To calculate the 2018 fee liabilities, NMFS applied the respective fee percentages to the landings of Bering Sea pollock debited from each cooperative's fishery allocation that occurred between January 1 and December 31. The 2018 fee payments must be submitted to NMFS on or before December 31, 2018. Payment must be made in accordance with the payment methods set forth in 50 CFR 679.66(a)(4)(iv).\nAIP Program Standard Price and Fee Percentage\nThe AIP Program allocates the Aleutian Islands directed pollock fishery TAC to the Aleut Corporation, consistent with the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-109), and its implementing regulations. Annually, prior to the start of the pollock season, the Aleut Corporation provides NMFS with the identity of its designated representative for harvesting the Aleutian Islands directed pollock fishery TAC. The same individual is responsible for the submission of all cost recovery fees for pollock landed under the AIP Program. Cost recovery requirements for the AIP Program are at 50 CFR 679.67.\nNMFS calculates the standard price for pollock using the most recent annual value information reported to the Alaska Department of Fish & Game for the Commercial Operator's Annual Report and compiled in the Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission Gross Earnings data for Aleutian Islands pollock. Due to the time required to compile the data, there is a one-year delay between the gross earnings data year and the fishing year to which it is applied. For example, NMFS used 2017 gross earnings data to calculate the standard price for 2018 pollock landings.\nFor the 2018 fishing year, the Aleut Corporation selected participants to harvest or process the Aleutian Islands directed pollock fishery TAC. Some harvest occurred; however, the majority of that TAC was eventually reallocated to the Bering Sea directed pollock fishery TAC. Due to the small harvest, the estimated percentage of direct program costs to fishery value for the 2018 calendar year were disproportionately high and well above 3.0 percent. Pursuant to section 304(d)(2)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the fee percentage amount must not exceed 3.0 percent. Therefore, the 2018 fee percentage is set at 3.0 percent. To calculate the 2018 fee liability, NMFS applied the respective fee percentage to the pollock landings attributed to the AIP Program that occurred between January 1 and December 31. The 2018 fee payments must be submitted to NMFS on or before December 31, 2018. Payment must be made in accordance with the payment methods set forth in 50 CFR 679.67(a)(3)(iv).\nCDQ Standard Price and Fee Percentage\nThe CDQ Program was implemented in 1992 to provide access to BSAI fishery resources to villages located in Western Alaska. Section 305(i) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act identifies sixty-five villages eligible to participate in the CDQ Program and the six CDQ groups to represent these villages. CDQ groups receive exclusive harvesting privileges of the TACs for a broad range of crab species, groundfish species, and halibut. NMFS implemented a CDQ cost recovery program for the BSAI crab fisheries in 2005 (70 FR 10174, March 2, 2005) and published the cost recovery fee percentage for the 2018/2019 crab fishing year on July 19, 2018 (83 FR 34119). This notice provides the cost recovery fee percentage for the CDQ groundfish and halibut programs. Each CDQ group is subject to cost recovery fee requirements for landed groundfish and halibut, and the designated representative of each CDQ group is responsible for submitting payment for their CDQ group. Cost recovery requirements for the CDQ Program are at 50 CFR 679.33.\nFor most CDQ groundfish species, NMFS annually summarizes volume and value information for landings of all fishery species subject to cost recovery in order to estimate a standard price for each fishery species. The volume and value information is obtained from the First Wholesale Volume and Value Report and the Pacific Cod Ex-Vessel Volume and Value Report. For CDQ halibut and fixed-gear sablefish, NMFS calculates the standard prices using information from the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Ex-Vessel Volume and Value Report, which collects information on both IFQ and CDQ volume and value.\nUsing the fee percentage formula described above, the estimated percentage of direct program costs to fishery value for the 2018 calendar year is 0.66 percent for the CDQ groundfish and halibut programs. For 2018, NMFS applied the calculated CDQ fee percentage to all CDQ groundfish and halibut landings made between January 1 and December 31 to calculate the CDQ fee liability for each CDQ group. The 2018 fee payments must be submitted to NMFS on or before December 31, 2018. Payment must be made in accordance with the payment methods set forth in 50 CFR 679.33(a)(3)(iv).\nTable 1\u2014Standard Ex-Vessel Prices by Species for the 2018 Fishing Year Species Gear type Reporting period Standard\nex-vessel price\nper pound ($)\nArrowtooth flounder All January 1, 2018-October 31, 2018 $0.22 Atka mackerel All January 1, 2018-October 31, 2018 0.32 Flathead sole All January 1, 2018-October 31, 2018 0.26 Greenland turbot All January 1, 2018-October 31, 2018 0.60 CDQ halibut Fixed gear October 1, 2017-September 30, 2018 4.95 Pacific cod Fixed gear\nTrawl gear\nPacific ocean perch All January 1, 2018-October 31, 2018 0.22 Pollock All January 1, 2017-December 31, 2017 0.14 Rock sole All\nJanuary 1, 2018-March 31, 2018\nApril 1, 2018-October 31, 2018\nSablefish Fixed gear\nOctober 1, 2017-September 30, 2018\nYellowfin sole All January 1, 2018-October 31, 2018 0.20 Authority:\nDated: November 26, 2018.

Telephone: (202) 401-2266. Email: [email protected]\nPurpose of Program: The major purposes of the CSP are to expand opportunities for all students, particularly traditionally underserved students, to attend charter schools and meet challenging State academic standards; provide financial assistance for the planning, program design, and initial implementation of public charter schools; increase the number of high-quality charter schools\u20091 available to students across the United States; evaluate the impact of charter schools on student achievement, families, and communities; share best practices between charter schools and other public schools; encourage States to provide facilities support to charter schools; and support efforts to strengthen the charter school authorizing process. Through CSP Grants to Charter Management Organizations for the Replication and Expansion of High-Quality Charter Schools (CFDA number 84.282M) (also referred to as CMO [i.e., Charter Management Organization] grants or the CMO grant program), the Department provides funds to charter management organizations (CMOs) on a competitive basis to enable them to replicate or expand one or more high-quality charter schools. Grant funds may be used to expand the enrollment of one or more existing high-quality charter schools, or to replicate one or more new charter schools that are based on an existing, high-quality charter school model.\n1\u2009Italicized terms are defined in the Definitions section of this notice.\nBackground: The CMO grant program is intended to support high-quality charter schools that are operated by high-performing CMOs seeking to broaden and increase their impact on student achievement. Since FY 2010, the Department has awarded almost 80 new CMO grants, resulting in a portfolio of high-quality CMOs using Federal funds to replicate and expand their successful charter school models to serve greater numbers of students, particularly educationally disadvantaged students.\nWe have published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register a notice of final priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria (NFP) for use in this and future CMO competitions. The NFP aligns with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESEA), and clarifies key statutory provisions. In the FY 2019 CMO competition, we are using several priorities from the NFP and one priority from the Education Department General Administrative Regulations.\nFirst, applicants must choose to submit their applications under one of two absolute priorities\u2014Absolute Priority 1\u2014Rural Community or Absolute Priority 2\u2014Low-Income Demographic. A major purpose of this program is to replicate and expand high-quality charter schools that serve educationally disadvantaged students. Students living in rural communities often have few high-quality educational options and face unique challenges. Similarly, we believe it is critical to ensure that students who are individuals from low-income families, particularly such students who attend schools with high percentages of students who are individuals from low-income families, have access to multiple high-quality educational options. Accordingly, in order to receive a grant under this competition, applicants must demonstrate that they will replicate or expand one or more high-quality charter schools in a rural community, or operate or manage charter schools with student bodies that are comprised of at least 40 percent of students who are individuals from low-income families.\nThis competition also includes five competitive preference priorities. First, we encourage applicants to propose projects that focus on replicating or expanding high-quality charter schools with an intentional focus on racially and socioeconomically diverse student bodies, consistent with nondiscrimination requirements contained in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws.\nSecond, we encourage applicants to propose to reopen one or more academically poor-performing public schools as charter schools, based on a successful charter school model. In order to receive points, an applicant must ensure that the replicated high-quality charter school maintains a student body population that is demographically similar to that of the academically poor-performing public school, consistent with nondiscrimination requirements in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws. In accordance with the most recent version of the Department's Charter Schools Program Nonregulatory Guidance (issued in January 2014),2 grantees may exempt from any admissions lotteries students who are enrolled in a public school, including an academically poor-performing public school, at the time it is reopened as a public charter school, as permissible under State law.\n2\u2009See: http://www2.ed.gov/programs/charter/fy14cspnonregguidance.doc.\nThird, we encourage applicants to propose to replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that serve high school students. To meet this priority, applicants must demonstrate that they will prepare students for postsecondary education and provide support for their graduates to enroll and persist in, and obtain a degree or certificate from, postsecondary education institutions. In addition, to meet this priority, applicants must propose one or more specific performance measures that will provide valid and reliable information on their students' progress to and through postsecondary education institutions.\nFourth, we encourage applications from eligible entities that would replicate or expand high-quality charter schools that are designed to meet the unique educational needs of Native American students, consistent with nondiscrimination requirements in the U.S. Constitution and Federal civil rights laws. In order to meet this priority, an applicant must submit a letter of support from an Indian Tribe or Indian organization in the community where the charter school will be located, meaningfully collaborate with such Indian Tribe or Indian organization, and propose to replicate or expand one or more high-quality charter schools with a mission and project focus that addresses the unique educational needs of Native American students, such as through the use of instruction that reflects and preserves Native American language, culture, and history.\nFinally, we encourage novice applicants to apply.\nPriorities: This notice includes two absolute priorities and five competitive preference priorities. The absolute priorities and Competitive Preference Priorities 1-4 are from the NFP for this program published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. Competitive Preference Priority 5 is from 34 CFR 75.225.\nAbsolute Priorities: For FY 2019 and any subsequent year in which we make awards from the list of unfunded applications from this competition, these priorities are absolute priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3), we consider only applications that meet one of these priorities.\nEach of these absolute priorities constitutes its own funding category. Applicants may propose projects that address both absolute priorities, but must clearly indicate under which absolute priority they are officially applying. The Secretary intends to award grants under each absolute priority for which applications of sufficient quality are submitted.\nAbsolute Priority 1\u2014Rural Community.\nUnder this priority, applicants must propose to replicate or expand one or more high-quality charter schools in a rural community.\nAbsolute Priority 2\u2014Low-Income Demographic.\nUnder this priority, applicants must demonstrate that at least 40 percent of the students across all of the charter schools the applicant operates or manages are individuals from low-income families, and that the applicant will maintain the same, or a substantially similar, percentage of such students across all of its charter schools during the grant period.\nCompetitive Preference Priorities: These priorities are competitive preference priorities. Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i), we will award up to an additional three points to an application that addresses Competitive Preference Priority 1, up to an additional three points to an application that addresses Competitive Preference Priority 2, up to an additional three points to an application that addresses Competitive Preference Priority 3, up to an additional three points to an application that addresses Competitive Preference Priority 4, and an additional three points to an application that meets Competitive Preference Priority 5. The maximum number of competitive preference priority points an application can receive for this competition is 15.\nCompetitive Preference Priority 1\u2014Promoting Diversity. (up to 3 points)\nCompetitive Preference Priority 2\u2014Reopening Academically Poor-performing Public Schools as Charter Schools. (up to 3 points)\n(i) Demonstrate past success working with one or more academically poor-performing public schools or schools that previously were designated as persistently lowest-achieving schools or priority schools under the former School Improvement Grant program or in States that exercised ESEA flexibility, respectively, under the ESEA, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB); and\nCompetitive Preference Priority 3\u2014High School Students. (up to 3 points)\n(v) For purposes of this priority, postsecondary education institutions include institutions of higher education, as defined in section 8101(29) of the ESEA, and one-year training programs that meet the requirements of section 101(b)(1) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA).\nCompetitive Preference Priority 4\u2014Replicating or Expanding High-quality Charter Schools to Serve Native American Students.

Funding Restrictions: Grantees under this program must use the grant funds to replicate or expand the charter school model or models for which the applicant has presented evidence of success. Specifically, grant funds must be used to carry out allowable activities, as described in section 4305(b)(1) of the ESEA. In addition, grant funds must be used to carry out one or more of the activities described in section 4303(h), which include\u2014\n(a) Preparing teachers, school leaders, and specialized instructional support personnel, including through paying costs associated with\u2014\n(i) Providing professional development; and\n(ii) Hiring and compensating, during the applicant's planning period specified in the application for funds, one or more of the following:\n(A) Teachers,\n(B) School leaders, and\n(C) Specialized instructional support personnel.\n(b) Acquiring supplies, training, equipment (including technology), and educational materials (including developing and acquiring instructional materials).\n(c) Carrying out necessary renovations to ensure that a new school building complies with applicable statutes and regulations, and minor facilities repairs (excluding construction).\n(d) Providing one-time, startup costs associated with providing transportation to students to and from the charter school.\n(e) Carrying out community engagement activities, which may include paying the cost of student and staff recruitment.\n(f) Providing for other appropriate, non-sustained costs related to the replication or expansion of high-quality charter schools when such costs cannot be met from other sources.\nFurther, under section 4305(b)(1) of the ESEA, CMO grant funds must be used to open and prepare for the operation of one or more replicated high-quality charter schools or to expand one or more high-quality charter schools. Within the context of opening and preparing for the operation of one or more replicated high-quality charter schools or expanding one or more high-quality charter schools, a portion of grant funds can be used for appropriate, non-sustained costs associated with the expansion or improvement of the grantee's oversight or management of its charter schools, provided that (i) the specific charter schools being replicated or expanded under the grant are the intended beneficiaries of such expansion or improvement; (ii) such expansion or improvement is intended to improve the grantee's ability to manage or oversee the charter schools being replicated or expanded under the grant; and (iii) the costs cannot be met from other sources. In order to use grant funds for this purpose, an applicant should describe how the proposed costs are necessary to meet the objectives of the project and reasonable in light of the overall cost of the project.\nWe reference additional regulations outlining funding restrictions in the Applicable Regulations section of this notice.\n1. Selection Criteria. The selection criteria are from the NFP and 34 CFR 75.210. The source of each selection factor is included in parentheses following each factor. The maximum possible score for addressing all of the criteria in this section is 100 points. The maximum possible score for addressing each criterion is indicated in parentheses following the criterion.\nIn evaluating an application, the Secretary considers the following criteria:\n(a) Quality of the eligible applicant (45 points).\nIn determining the quality of the eligible applicant, the Secretary considers the following factors:\n(i) The extent to which the academic achievement results (including annual student performance on statewide assessments and annual student attendance and retention rates and, where applicable and available, student academic growth, high school graduation rates, college attendance rates, and college persistence rates) for educationally disadvantaged students served by the charter schools operated or managed by the applicant have exceeded the average academic achievement results for such students served by other public schools in the State (15 points). (NFP)\n(ii) The extent to which one or more charter schools operated or managed by the applicant have closed; have had a charter revoked due to noncompliance with statutory or regulatory requirements; or have had their affiliation with the applicant revoked or terminated, including through voluntary disaffiliation (15 points). (NFP)\n(iii) The extent to which one or more charter schools operated or managed by the applicant have had any significant issues in the area of financial or operational management or student safety, or have otherwise experienced significant problems with statutory or regulatory compliance that could lead to revocation of the school's charter (15 points). (NFP)\n(b) Significance of contribution in assisting educationally disadvantaged students (30 points).\nIn determining the significance of the contribution the proposed project will make in expanding educational opportunities for educationally disadvantaged students and enabling those students to meet challenging State academic standards, the Secretary considers the following factors:\n(i) The extent to which charter schools currently operated or managed by the applicant serve educationally disadvantaged students, particularly students with disabilities\u20094 and English learners, at rates comparable to surrounding public schools or, in the case of virtual charter schools, at rates comparable to public schools in the State (15 points). (NFP)\n4\u2009For purposes of this competition, \u201cstudents with disabilities\u201d or \u201cstudent with a disability\u201d has the same meaning as \u201cchildren with disabilities\u201d or \u201cchild with a disability,\u201d respectively, as defined in section 8101(4) of the ESEA (and this NIA). Under section 8101(4), \u201cchild with a disability,\u201d has the same meaning given that term in section 602 of the IDEA.\n(ii) The quality of the plan to ensure that the charter schools the applicant proposes to replicate or expand will recruit, enroll, and effectively serve educationally disadvantaged students, particularly students with disabilities and English learners (15 points). (NFP)\n(c) Quality of the evaluation plan for the proposed project (10 points)\nIn determining the quality of the evaluation plan for the proposed project, the Secretary considers the extent to which the methods of evaluation include the use of objective performance measures that are clearly related to the intended outcomes of the proposed project, as described in the applicant's logic model, and that will produce quantitative and qualitative data by the end of the grant period. (NFP)\n(d) Quality of the management plan and personnel (15 points).\nIn determining the quality of the applicant's management plan, the Secretary considers the following factors:\n(i) The ability of the applicant to sustain the operation of the replicated or expanded charter schools after the grant has ended, as demonstrated by the multi-year financial and operating model required under section 4305(b)(3)(B)(iii) of the ESEA (5 points). (NFP)\n(ii) The adequacy of the management plan to achieve the objectives of the proposed project on time and within budget, including clearly defined responsibilities, timelines, and milestones for accomplishing project tasks (5 points). (34 CFR 75.210(g)(2)(i))\n(iii) The qualifications, including relevant training and experience, of key project personnel (5 points). (34 CFR 75.210(e)(3)(ii))\n2. Review and Selection Process: We remind potential applicants that in reviewing applications under any discretionary grant competition, the Secretary may consider, under 34 CFR 75.217(d)(3), the past performance of the applicant in carrying out a previous award, such as the applicant's use of funds, achievement of project objectives, and compliance with grant conditions. The Secretary may also consider whether the applicant failed to submit a timely performance report or submitted a report of unacceptable quality.\n4. Integrity and Performance System: If you are selected under this competition to receive an award that over the course of the project period may exceed the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $150,000), under 2 CFR 200.205(a)(2) we must make a judgment about your integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards\u2014that is, the risk posed by you as an applicant\u2014before we make an award. In doing so, we must consider any information about you that is in the integrity and performance system (referred to as the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)), accessible through the System for Award Management, or SAM. You may review and comment on any information about yourself that a Federal agency previously entered and that is currently in FAPIIS.\nPlease note that, if the total value of your currently active grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from the Federal Government exceeds $10,000,000, the reporting requirements in 2 CFR part 200, Appendix XII, require you to report certain integrity information to FAPIIS semiannually. Please review the requirements in 2 CFR part 200, Appendix XII, if this grant plus all other Federal funds you receive exceed $10,000,000.\n5. Performance Measures: (a) The Secretary has two performance indicators to measure progress towards achieving the purposes of the program, which are discussed elsewhere in this notice. The performance indicators are: (1) The number of charter schools in operation around the Nation and (2) the percentage of fourth- and eighth-grade charter school students who are achieving at or above the proficient level on State assessments in mathematics and reading/language arts. Additionally, the Secretary has established the following measure to examine the efficiency of the CSP: The Federal cost per student in implementing a successful school (defined as a school in operation for three or more consecutive years).\n(b) Project-Specific Performance Measures. Applicants must propose project-specific performance measures and performance targets consistent with the objectives of the proposed project. Applications must provide the following information as directed under 34 CFR 75.110(b) and (c):\n(1) Performance measures. How each proposed performance measure would accurately measure the performance of the project and how the proposed performance measure would be consistent with the performance measures established for the program funding the competition.\n(2) Baseline data. (i) Why each proposed baseline is valid; or (ii) if the applicant has determined that there are no established baseline data for a particular performance measure, an explanation of why there is no established baseline and of how and when, during the project period, the applicant would establish a valid baseline for the performance measure.\n(3) Performance targets. Why each proposed performance target is ambitious yet achievable compared to the baseline for the performance measure and when, during the project period, the applicant would meet the performance target(s).\n(4) Data collection and reporting. (i) The data collection and reporting methods the applicant would use and why those methods are likely to yield reliable, valid, and meaningful performance data; and (ii) the applicant's capacity to collect and report reliable, valid, and meaningful performance data, as evidenced by high-quality data collection, analysis, and reporting in other projects or research.\nAll grantees must submit an annual performance report with information that is responsive to these performance measures.\n6. Continuation Awards: In making a continuation award under 34 CFR 75.253, the Secretary considers, among other things, whether a grantee has made substantial progress in achieving the goals and objectives of the project; whether the grantee has expended funds in a manner that is consistent with its approved application and budget; and, if the Secretary has established performance measurement requirements, the performance targets in the grantee's approved application.\n7. Project Director's Meeting: Applicants approved for funding under this competition must attend a two-day meeting for project directors at a location to be determined in the continental United States during each year of the project. Applicants may include the cost of attending this meeting as an administrative cost in their proposed budgets.\nDated: November 27, 2018. James C.

If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's EA.\nThere are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 3 copies of filings made with the Commission and must provide a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.\nPersons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could result from its action whenever it considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires the Commission to discover concerns the public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as \u201cscoping.\u201d The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 24, 2018.\nYou can make a difference by submitting your specific comments or concerns about the reroute. Your comments should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Commission staff will consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.\nIf you sent comments on this project to the Commission before the opening of this docket on November 14, 2018, you will need to file those comments in Docket No. CP19-17-000 to ensure they are considered as part of this proceeding.\nThis notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental mailing list for this amendment. State and local government representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed amendment and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.\nIf you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission approves the amendment, that approval conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be determined by a judge in accordance with state law.\nMidship Pipeline provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by FERC entitled \u201cAn Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?\u201d This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings. It is also available for viewing on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov) at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/gas/gas.pdf.\nThe Commission offers a free service called eSubscription which makes it easy to stay informed of all issuances and submittals regarding the dockets/projects to which you subscribe. These instant email notifications are the fastest way to receive notification and provide a link to the document files which can reduce the amount of time you spend researching proceedings. To sign up go to www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp.\nMidship Pipeline proposes a 0.8-mile reroute between mileposts 195.2 to 195.9 of the MIDSHIP Project in Bryan County, Oklahoma. This reroute would shift the pipeline about 400 feet west and south of the certificated pipeline route. The general location of the reroute is shown in appendix 1.2\nConstruction of the proposed reroute would disturb about 12.5 acres of land. Following construction, Midship Pipeline would maintain about 5.3 acres for permanent operation of the project; the remaining acreage would be restored and revert to former uses. This represents an increase from the certificated route of about 1.2 acres during construction and 0.5 acre during operation.\nThe EA will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of the proposed amendment under these general headings:\n\u2022 threatened and endangered species;\nCommission staff will also evaluate reasonable alternatives to the proposed amendment, and make recommendations on how to lessen or avoid impacts on the various resource areas as applicable.\nThe EA will present Commission staffs' independent analysis of the issues. The EA will be available in electronic format in the public record through eLibrary\u20093 and the Commission's website (https://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis.asp). If eSubscribed, you will receive instant email notification when the EA is issued. The EA may be issued for an allotted public comment period. Commission staff will consider all comments on the EA before making recommendations to the Commission. To ensure Commission staff have the opportunity to address your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public Participation section, beginning on page 2.\n3\u2009For instructions on connecting to eLibrary, refer to page 5 of this notice.\nIn accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the Commission is using this notice to initiate consultation with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), and to solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on historic properties.5 Commission staff will define the project-specific Area of Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO as the project develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor stations, and access roads). The EA for this project will document findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status of consultations under section 106.\nThe environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property may be used temporarily for project purposes, and anyone who submits comments on the project. Commission staff will update the environmental mailing list as the analysis proceeds to ensure that Commission notices related to this environmental review are sent to all individuals, organizations, and government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the proposed amendment.\nIf the Commission issues the EA for an allotted public comment period, a Notice of Availability of the EA will be sent to the environmental mailing list and will provide instructions to access the electronic document on the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov). If you need to make changes to your name/address, or if you would like to remove your name from the mailing list, please return the attached \u201cMailing List Update Form\u201d (appendix 2).\nAdditional information about the amendment/reroute is available from the Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the FERC website at www.ferc.gov using the eLibrary link.

This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through November 30, 2018. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on June 29, 2017 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.\nSubmit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OECA-2014-0097 to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), or by email to [email protected], or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460; and (2) OMB via email to [email protected] Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for EPA.\nAbstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW) apply to both existing and new plating and polishing facilities that are an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions and that use one or more of the following metal HAP: Cadmium, chromium, lead manganese, or nickel (hereafter referred to as the plating and polishing metal HAP). A plating and polishing facility is a plant site that is engaged in any of the following processes: Non-chromium electroplating; electroless or non-electrolytic plating; other non-electrolytic metal coating processes such as chromate conversion coating, nickel acetate sealing, sodium dichromate sealing, and manganese phosphate coating, and thermal spraying; dry mechanical polishing of finished metals and formed products after plating or thermal spraying; electroforming; and electro-polishing. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW.\nRespondents/affected entities: Plating and polishing area source facilities.\nRespondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW).\nFrequency of response: Initially and annually.\nTotal estimated cost: $7,410,000 (per year), which includes no annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.\nChanges in the estimates: There is an increase in the total estimated burden and number of responses from the most-recently approved ICR due to several adjustments. First, burden hours were added to allow each facility to refamiliarize themselves with the regulatory requirements each year. Second, the number of sources that complete but do not submit annual compliance certifications was left out of the response count in the previous renewal and this has been corrected.\nThere is a decrease in the annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs since the previous renewal due to an adjustment. There are no ongoing monitoring requirements in the rule and no new sources are expected to incur capital/startup costs. Therefore, the capital/startup costs were reduced to zero since those costs have already been incurred when the existing sources became subject to the rule.\nCourtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Purpose of the TSCA SACC\nThe Science Advisory Committee on Chemicals (SACC) was established by EPA in 2016 under the authority of the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, Public Law 114-182, 140 Stat. 448 (2016), and operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2. The SACC supports activities under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et seq., the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA), 42 U.S.C. 13101 et seq., and other applicable statutes. The SACC provides expert independent scientific advice and recommendations to the EPA on the scientific and technical aspects of risk assessments, methodologies, and pollution prevention measures and approaches for chemicals regulated under TSCA.\nThe SACC is comprised of experts in: Toxicology; human health and environmental risk assessment; exposure assessment; and related sciences (e.g., synthetic biology, pharmacology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, biochemistry, biostatistics, PBPK modeling, computational toxicology, epidemiology, environmental fate, and environmental engineering and sustainability). The SACC currently consists of 26 members. When needed, the committee will be assisted in their reviews by ad hoc participants with specific expertise in the topics under consideration.\nB. In-Person Meeting\nThe focus of the TSCA SACC in-person meeting is to peer review the Agency's draft risk evaluation of C.I. Pigment Violet 29, which was developed under EPA's existing chemical substance process. C.I. Pigment Violet 29 is an organic pigment that has a low solubility, low volatility, is expected to be highly persistent, and has low bioaccumulation potential in fish and other animals. The pigment is utilized as an intermediate to create or adjust the color of other pigments, as well as in commercial paints, coatings, plastics, and rubber products.\nUnder TSCA, the purpose of the risk evaluation is to determine whether a chemical substance presents an unreasonable risk to health or the environment under the conditions of use, including an unreasonable risk to a relevant potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation. EPA released the draft risk evaluation for C.I. Pigment Violet 29 for public review and comment on November 15, 2018 (83 FR 57473; FRL-9986-45), and is submitting the same materials to the TSCA SACC for peer review.\nAfter the peer review process, EPA will consider reviewer comments and recommendations, and public comments, to finalize the risk evaluation.\nApproximately one hour of the TSCA SACC's in-person meeting will be closed to the public for the TSCA SACC to consider and discuss material that has been claimed as CBI and provided to the Committee as background for the draft risk evaluation for PV29. In accordance with FACA section 10(d), and section (c)(4) of the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b, this approximately one-hour session of the TSCA SACC will be closed to the public to avoid the potential disclosure of CBI, which is protected from disclosure by statute. See the Administrator's determination for a closed meeting available in the docket identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OPPT-2018-0604 at http://www.regulations.gov.\nC. TSCA SACC Documents and Meeting Minutes\nEPA's background paper, related supporting materials, and draft charge/questions to the TSCA SACC are available on the TSCA SACC website and in docket. In addition, the Agency will provide additional background documents (e.g., a list of the SACC Members participating in this meeting and the meeting agenda) as those materials become available. You may obtain electronic copies of these documents, and certain other related documents that might be available at http://www.regulations.gov and the TSCA SACC website at https://www.epa.gov/tsca-peer-review.\nTSCA SACC will prepare meeting minutes and final report summarizing its recommendations to the Agency no later than 90 days after the meeting. The meeting minutes and final report will be posted on the TSCA SACC website and in the docket.\n15 U.S.C. 2625(o) et seq.; 5 U.S.C. Appendix 2 et seq.\nDated: November 21, 2018.

This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through November 30, 2018. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on June 29, 2017, during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.\nSupporting documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed either online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.\nAbstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters apply to existing and new industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters located at major sources of HAP. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63, DDDDD.\nRespondents/affected entities: Industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters.\nRespondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, subpart DDDDD).\nFrequency of response: Initially, semi-annually, annually, biennially, and every five years.\nTotal estimated cost: $196,000,000 (per year), which includes $131,000,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.\nChanges in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden and cost estimates occurred because there is continued growth for certain subcategories of equipment subject to the standard. In addition, the standards have been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities and provided for the timeframe for existing facilities to come into compliance prior to January 31, 2016. This included purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting initial performance tests, and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. Activities for existing sources include annual testing, continuous monitoring of pollutants, and the submission of semiannual, biennial, or five-year reports, as determined for each subcategory.\nThere is an adjustment decrease in the number of responses as compared with the previous ICR. This decrease is a result of removing some of the one-time response requirements for existing sources that have already met the initial compliance requirements. There is an overall increase in the total capital/startup and annual operation and maintenance costs compared with the previous ICR. These changes assume all existing sources have met the initial requirements of the rule. In addition, there are a small number of new facilities that are in the initial compliance phase described above.\nCourtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

        "raw_content": "New Year. New Thoughts.\nHey! It\u2019s me!! Yeah, I am back, refreshed, and ready to tackle 2015 with a whole new perspective and a whole lot of clarity. Since posting our last post for 2014 on Christmas Eve, Mike and I have been in a quieter and more reflective space in order to relax, look back, and move our eyes forward. To be honest, during this time we did very little. We went to the art museum, we planned out the house decor, we stayed up talking late into the night, we spent time with our friends without the stress of tomorrow\u2019s deadlines, and we really truly relaxed for the first time in a long while. I believe these last few weeks have been some of my favorite weeks of 2014\u2026 well at least my soul says that anyways\u2026 2014 did have some pretty amazing moments as our recap shared. This time has been so good for our creativity, our relationship, our souls, and our bodies. We thought about taking a trip during this time-off, but instead we opted to save the air miles for a time we really needed that trip, which we know will come this year. We realized, right now, we needed to be in one place, in the quiet, in the stillness, and to truly enjoy what it means to just be.\nIncase you didn\u2019t know, the act of just being is possibly the most difficult thing for an entrepreneur. During our everyday, my head and body thinks if I am not working I am not earning. The go-to thought is that every moment needs to be spent improving and bettering your craft or you will become complacent, stale, or washed up. So, to settle into a state of stillness and relaxation was uncomfortable, at first. What resulted was some amazing, and way over due, talks about what we really need as a couple and as individuals. As we found, when the noise of client projects quiets down you are left to hear the noise of your own needs, and that is where we found ourselves. It was exactly what we needed, in all the most positive and life-giving ways you can imagine.\nLooking back to 2014, we made the word intention our focus for the entire year. I am a strong believer in the idea of choosing a word to help direct the goals for each year. I am someone who needs a checklist, an overarching idea, and a mindset. I think of each year similar to how I think of a client project. I see it as a new chance to define myself, and an opportunity to become a little bit better version of myself. So how did it go?\nIn our year of intention, we found a lot of success. We bought a house, launched the Wild Measure website and gave TFE a massive facelift. We traveled to Spain and Portugal, got healthy and pretty darn fit, spent a summer in Northern Michigan, learned to sail on a bigger boat, and grew our company in many ways. So in a lot of ways, you could say the year was nothing but success. And overall yes, the year was a success, but that list was our external list. There was a lot going on outside on the other side of the lens this year that tested us more than any year of our lives.\nIn all honesty, I spent much of the last 7 months of 2014 remaining safe and predictable, both out of a need to survive and a fear of failing. What resulted was anxiety and insecurity on a level I could never have imagined. Mike and I found ourselves in our own worlds just struggling to keep our heads above water; one in the studio and one in the blog \u2013 simply out of survival. We found ourselves losing our creative drive, vision, and understanding of ourselves. I saw myself becoming lost in a sea of predictability and self-expectation in my work. There were bright moments, but for the most part I no longer had a firm place to stand on or to root myself in order to know how to take creative risks like I used to. In a metaphorical way, I was in this giant ocean trying to keep my head above water while searching for a base to stand on. It is difficult to take risks in that environment. I knew if I failed I had no idea where safety would be. October and November were some of the scariest, darkest, and ugliest months of during that time. It isn\u2019t something that can always been written about with clarity in the moment, and I wish it was something I could have talked about in a real way in the moment, because I know this may sound like a shock when you see a different story in this space. But often times it just takes some time away to gain a real perspective on a situation. As any blogger will tell you, you can find a way to focus on the beautiful things, and stuff the difficulties of life away into neat boxes far out of sight. The thing is that you cannot escape that forever, so we opened those boxes over the break and more or less organized, cleaned, and took a new perspective over our break.\nAfter some hard moments, good talks, and family and friends who I now value more than ever, Mike and I both found a way to let go of what had us bottled up in fear, anxiety, and insecurity that was keeping me at arms length from everything in life. As we ended 2014, I found myself refocusing into my word for the year by intentionally focusing on letting people in, giving everyone I can the benefit of the doubt, and letting myself find solid ground again. It felt good. The day we left for Asheville, right before Christmas, I could feel myself getting closer to that place of safety and firm footing again. I found my head space again, and I felt a release of so much fear I had felt within myself creatively.\nI am sure you are learning as you read this, that no one is perfect, no matter what an Instagram, Blog, Facebook, or Pinterest will show you. We have heard this a hundred times, but what is real is that those spaces are where we all find escape and release of sometimes the scary reality of what lies on the other side. I don\u2019t think that is bad, and in fact for me it is something I need as an introvert. The issue, or problem, begins when we find ourselves more us being more present in these online spaces than being at a dinner table with family, enjoying a glass of wine with an old friend, or laughing in bed with your better-half. That \u201cnon-presense\u201d in life is where the breakdown begins. This is what we have to be intentional about, we have to find the balance of both the on-and-the-off. We are all different, but what I have learned about myself is that I need to be intentional about not hiding away my thoughts, out of fear or speculation of what people will think, assume, or misconstrue. Instead, I need to live in the present moment to become the healthiest, strongest, and most honest version of myself. In turn, I then will help move those around me in that direction as well.\nIt took the last few weeks of our break to truly come to realize all of this in a real and deep way. It was only after that realization that I had enough clarity to understand how to write about the last few months. After a lot of long walks, wandering drives, and staying up till 3 AM, to finally get to a place of clarity. Much of what we had found beneath the surface was fear. We had found ourselves caved to fear and second-guessing ourselves. We came to terms with the fact all of this fear of failure had kept us from having depth in a lot of our relationships and our own creative process. It is scary to say you succumbed to fear creatively, but it is reality.\nWhich is why we have chosen DEPTH as our guiding word for 2015. It is about pushing aside fear, and being our greatest creative selves and truly living an adventurous and fearless life. I know this may be a surprising thing to hear from us, but it is what will lead our year and it has us really excited. Like really excited.\nOur plan is to dig in deeper to our new city, to set roots, to cultivate deeper relationships that inspire us to be better, to break down the walls of fear between ourselves as a husband-and-wife team, to talk more openly and honestly here about this journey we are on, and to bring more honesty and authenticity to the beauty than we ever have. Beauty is the easy part for us, but bringing depth is the harder more mature part, and it is the scary part. As an introvert and as someone who moved a lot as a kid I very rarely had the opportunity to have those lasting deep relationships. I always felt safer within my head and by myself. But this year, I feel it is time to dive in head first and let go of all my fears. I plan to embrace my wild and to inspire you and all those around me to do the same.\nSo, what does this mean for goals for 2015? We are planning on reading more, making purposeful times for meals with friends where we can be fully present, and we plan to blow your mind with creative work that is truly our best work. This means we plan to post a little bit less frequently in order to produce higher quality content for ourselves and for you. Everything from stronger grammar, to better writing, to stories you want to read again and again because they bring so much life into your world. We are going to take the time it takes to truly produce work that is our best and we are deeply proud of. More importantly, we want to find a way to be more open, real, and less fearful of sharing what it means to be a husband and wife creative team. This may mean at times someone will get offended or stop reading. That\u2019s ok. We have to create and write for ourselves first and we hope that helps and inspires you to do the same. Our hope is to slow down and to take the hum out of the day to day in order to see our greatest work surface. What we can promise is that everything you have loved about our space will only become better. It may come a little bit less frequently, but hey we have 5 years of content for you to check out between posts :), in order to offer our best to you this year. We love this space and it has challenged us to live a more adventurous and more honest life. Many of you have emailed or commented that The Fresh Exchange has also done that for you, and we literally could not receive a higher complement than that.\nSo cheers to the new year of Depth! Do you have a word for 2015? And then what do you want to see on The Fresh Exchange this year? Serious! Give us some good answers we are ready to dig in and really hit all of it this year.\nPingback: weekend reading | 01.09.14 - Kory Woodard\nPingback: midweek musings: 14-jan-2015. \u2013 eleventh floor provisions\nPingback: My word for 2015 - A Girl Named PJ",

        "raw_content": "At the end of 2010 Ireland became the second European Union (EU) country following Greece to receive a bailout loan from the EU/International Monetary Fund (IMF) as the Irish State reached a point of sovereign insolvency coinciding with the global financial crisis. Once the poster child of globalisation, Ireland is now the poster child of austerity, implementing a program of economic restraint including tax rises and public service funding cuts that curtails the recently found financial freedom in Irish society. In a crisis that is still unfolding, allegations of widespread corruption and cronyism in political and business life and a lack of civil morality in Irish society have emerged.\nThe Future State of Ireland seeks to examine the repercussions of the crash for an island on the periphery of Europe from a cultural perspective. Examining cultural responses both pre and post economic meltdown, the conference will explore the possibilities of a new post-crisis Ireland: from the highly visible to the barely perceptible consequences of the crash and austerity, sources and limits of citizen resilience in crisis, the perceived value of cultural responses and active/passive citizenships. It will provide an opportunity for leading thinkers and practitioners across different disciplines to come together to discuss artists\u2019 and citizens\u2019 reactions and resilience in times of crisis and austerity.\nA programme of visual and live art focused on crisis, resilience and endurance will intersect the conference schedule. Artists presenting their work include Kennedy Browne, Anthony Haughey and Troubling Ireland.",

        "title": "Review of City of Lies by Sam Hawke \u2013 The Illustrated Page",
        "raw_content": "City of Lies by Sam Hawke. \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\nCity of Lies will likely be one of my top debut novels of 2018. It\u2019s an incredibly well written fantasy novel that has everything I love about fantasy and also feels like a breath of fresh air. The comparisons to Robin Hobb and Naomi Novik are not off base\u2026 but I think I actually prefer City of Lies.\nJovan and Kalina\u2019s family has a duty: to protect the Chancellor and his heir from death by poison. Their uncle is the Chancellor\u2019s food tester and master of poisons, and he\u2019s training Jovan to follow in his footsteps. This training is expected to continue for years to come\u2026 but then both the Chancellor and their uncle dies by a mysterious poison. The Chancellor\u2019s heir (and Jovan and Kalina\u2019s close friend) is now a potential target for whoever murdered their uncle. They\u2019ve only begun to search for the poisoner when things get worse in a way none of them expected: an army shows up at the city gate, and they are promptly under siege. With their city\u2019s own army away and communication difficult to impossible, there is no rescue in sight. Jovan and Kalina will have to save not only the Heir and themselves but also their entire city.\nBefore I get down to the nitty gritty, I need to gush about how addicting this book was. It was just so good! I stayed up to nearly midnight when I had to wake up at 6 AM the next morning. I kept promising myself, \u201cJust one more chapter,\u201d and before I knew it, I\u2019d gone and read the entire book. If you can\u2019t tell from that, the pacing is great. And I guess I didn\u2019t read the synopsis closely enough because I didn\u2019t even know about the siege going in? When the army showed up, I was thrown for a loop in the most wonderful way. This book can get really intense!\nCity of Lies also shakes up the genre in some great ways. To start with, while I\u2019ve read plenty of fantasy books about assassins, I\u2019ve never read a book with a protagonist who\u2019s job is to guard against assassins. Well, at least not from the perspective of a food tester and poison master. There\u2019s a lot of other fantastic, new, and vital things going on with this book from characters to world, but more on that later. I also want to talk about how City of Lies weaves together its plots so well! You\u2019ve got the murder mystery of who killed the Chancellor, and you think that\u2019s going to be the sole focus of the story when BAM they\u2019re under siege! It\u2019s like murder mystery + political intrigue + epic fantasy, and I love every bit of it.\nIn the synopsis, I mention that Jovan is being trained as the new poison master. Well, before he started his training, his uncle tried to train Kalina. As the older sibling, she was first in line for the family duty, but her poor health meant that her life was in danger whenever she tried taking the small amounts of poison necessary to build up immunity. She knows she can\u2019t take on the family responsibility\u2026 but she also feels like she\u2019s overlooked and that people treat her like she\u2019s inconsequential and doubt her abilities due to her chronic illness. To some extent, she\u2019s turned this in her favor, becoming a spy master to secretly protect and serve the Chancellor and his heir.\nI really loved Kalina. When I was first considering picking up City of Lies, my big hesitation was that it would be a dude fantasy. You know, those fantasy books where the only woman of note is the girlfriend and she doesn\u2019t do a whole lot, even if we\u2019re told she\u2019s badass. City of Lies wasn\u2019t that. Kalina was just as much a protagonist as her brother. I also loved that she wasn\u2019t the usual sort of heroine. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever before read about a fantasy heroine with chronic illness, and I love that City of Lies allows her to take center stage and be an incredibly brave, smart and determined heroine.\nSpeaking of disability representation, Jovan is also disabled. He has an anxiety disorder that read to me as OCD, although since this is a second-world fantasy, it\u2019s never named. I\u2019ve got general anxiety, not OCD, but some of his experiences felt familiar. I could go off on a whole rant about how fantasy and science fiction doesn\u2019t have nearly enough characters with mental illness, but I\u2019ll save it for later. Suffice to say, I\u2019m very glad to have Jovan (and Kalina) as protagonists.\nCity of Lies has fantastic world building. If you know me, you know I love great world building in my fantasy books. The city-state the story\u2019s set in feels distinctly non-Western, although I can\u2019t pinpoint any specific influences. It also isn\u2019t a culture that honors violence or is really centered around warfare, which is another aspect that can be unusual in fantasy (or maybe I\u2019ve just read too much grimdark). Jovan and Kalina\u2019s culture also is egalitarian and matrilineal. Marriage is an unfamiliar concept, and women define the family. Jovan and Kalina\u2019s mother caused a scandal by abandoning her family and running away with a man. It\u2019s a bit of background information that doesn\u2019t actually play into the larger story, but it shows you the cultural norms. Oh, and there isn\u2019t any sexism or homophobia either. The protagonists are all straight (or at least aren\u2019t explicitly shown to be anything other than heterosexual), but there\u2019s enough background same-sex couples for it to be clear that it\u2019s not a big deal in this world.\nThe city is wealthy off of trade, and they\u2019ve grown out of touch with the surrounding countryside\u2026 which appears to be where the army at the gates is from. There\u2019s obviously a reason for that, and I won\u2019t say too much more on it. This is also one of those fantasy books where the protagonists don\u2019t think magic is real, that it\u2019s just a myth from history. Meanwhile, you the reader are sitting there rubbing your hands, knowing they\u2019ve got a huge surprise coming for them\u2026\nCity of Lies is also pretty low on romance, another reason it\u2019s a good story for me. Not that there wasn\u2019t romance \u2014 there was, but the most important relationships in the story tended to be platonic. I didn\u2019t care much for the romance that was there, but that\u2019s probably just a me thing. Anyway, they were both minor subplots so it wasn\u2019t much of an annoyance.\nIf I have one complaint, it\u2019s that Jovan and Kalina\u2019s voices could sound similar. City of Lies is told in alternating chapters of first person narration. Sometimes I could get confused about whether was reading Jovan or Kalina, as their voices weren\u2019t distinctive. This feels like a problem I\u2019ve seen a lot with debut novels using multiple first person narrators. It\u2019s hard to create a distinctive voice, and City of Lies doesn\u2019t manage it. It might have helped if the story was written in third person instead.\nBut overall, I\u2019m really hoping there\u2019s sequels! So go out and get yourself copies so that Tor buys more books from Sam Hawke! If your tastes are similar to mine, you won\u2019t be disappointed.\nARCepic fantasyfantasymultiple leadsneurodiverseother world\nPrevious Post Review of Bookburners: \u201cThe Blood-Dimmed Tide\u201d by Mur Lafferty\nNext Post June 2018 Short Story Reading Part II\nI see on the cover that it says \u201cA poison war novel\u201d that means they are other books in the same universe? I have to admit whenever I see a book compared to Robin Hobb\u2019s I am a bit put off because I found her series to be long and not as good as they are said to be (they are not bad but they are not greatly amazing either). I must admit I am very interested in Jovan because I never saw a fantasy book character with an anxiety disorder, I might give this book a try ^^\nIt\u2019s a debut book, so whether or not there will be more depends on if enough people buy this one. This book works fine as a stand-alone, but there\u2019s enough room for the author to make a sequel. There\u2019s no cliffhangers or major plot threads left unfinished.\nI liked Hobb\u2019s Livetrader trilogy, and the only other ones I\u2019ve tried are the Assassin\u2019s Apprentice trilogy. I gave up during the third book, because Fitz was just too angsty for me, and I\u2019d realized I\u2019d stopped caring about the plot. That\u2019s part of why I said I liked City of Lies better than Robin Hobb\u2019s books.\nI gave up Assassin\u2019s Apprentice after the first book, I am glad to see other people find it boring and too angsty xD\nwell I will give this book a try !\nI love reading such a positive review! I\u2019m really excited to read this, hopefully I can get to it next month\ud83d\ude01\nI\u2019d love to see what you think!\nI\u2019m writing my review now.

IT IS GOOD!\nSuch a good review, I keep seeing this book everywhere on twitter and while at first I didn\u2019t give it a second glance, I think I\u2019ll read as soon as possible \ud83d\ude00\nYou should!

        "title": "Chocolate, chocolate everywhere\u2026even some to drink \u2013 The New Griswolds",
        "raw_content": "Chocolate, chocolate everywhere\u2026even some to drink\nChocolate Town, USA, lived up to its name. We spent the entire day enjoying the smells, tastes and excitement that is Hershey\u2019s Chocolate World.\nOur adventure began on the Hershey Trolley. We got a tour of the main points in town including the Hershey Plant (the largest chocolate plant in the world), Hershey homestead and Milton Hershey\u2019s mansion, The Milton Hershey School, and Hershey Park. During the tour, we were taught about all of the sites by wonderful tour guides, along with many \u201cspecial guests\u201d that popped in along the way. We also sang songs\u2026well, some of us sang and some of us just mouthed the words. It was a very enjoyable way to get acquainted with all that the town has to offer.\nOne of the most interesting sites we saw was the Milton Hershey School. It is a private, residential school. It was originally started for orphaned boys by Milton Hershey and his wife. They were unable to have children of their own, so they built a school for children who did not have families. They chose only boys because in most orphanages they visited, there were very few girls. The girls would usually be taken in by relatives because they were helpful in the home. The boys were left behind. After Hershey\u2019s wife, Catherine, died (just a couple of years after the school opened), Hershey signed over all of his stock in the Hershey company to the school so it would be financially set for the future. Currently, the school has an enrollment of 1800 students (now gender-balanced). The students come from economically disadvantaged families and while they attend, they learn academics and a trade and all of their needs (food, shelter, clothing, dental, medical) are met. When they graduate, each student receives $100 and can earn up to $88,000 in scholarships for college. I was so impressed to learn about the philanthropy of Milton Hershey.\nWhen we returned to Chocolate World, we learned how to taste chocolate. With all the chocolate I\u2019ve eaten in my life, you\u2019d think I would know how to taste it. I guess not. First you listen to it, then you sniff it, then you put it onto your tongue and let it melt. I enjoyed the first chocolate \u2013 good old-fashioned milk chocolate. The next few were not as enjoyable. They were all dark. I don\u2019t care for dark chocolate much, no matter how healthy I\u2019m told it is.\nFollowing the tasting, we watched a 3D movie about\u2026 chocolate. What else? The movie was fun, not only because of the 3D effects, but because of the rain that fell, the surprises under the seats, and the bubbles. Van went nuts for the bubbles.\nAfter the movie, we grabbed some lunch. The afternoon was filled with making our own chocolate bar, packaging kisses, taking the Hershey invention tour, and shopping. Other than not being stroller-friendly (warning to parents of infants and toddlers), Chocolate World was a fantastic place for the whole family. We all enjoyed it very much. I\u2019m sure that was, in part, because after every activity we got free chocolate. Free chocolate makes everyone happy\u2026 a little sick perhaps, but happy.\nOnce our bodies were fatigued and we were nearly in chocolate-induced comas, we returned to the resort. Actually, most of us returned to the resort. There was an outlet mall across the street from the resort, so I ended up there. I decided it was time to begin my quest to find a swimming suit. Seriously, this is one of the tasks I despise. There is no such thing as enjoying swimsuit shopping. The most I can ever hope for is to return home without feeling like an elephant squeezed into a rubber band and with some shred of my self-esteem intact. Surprisingly, I actually felt\u2026ok after shopping. I found a suit and didn\u2019t feel like a pachyderm. I think the key is to shop for a swimming suit while you\u2019re pregnant. It\u2019s easy to feel good in a swimsuit when you know you\u2019re the skinniest you\u2019ll be for the next several months.\nUpon my return to the resort, I again found the kids in the pool. I swear they have gills hidden somewhere in their bodies. Especially Brooke and Van. They would spent all day in a pool if we\u2019d let them. Unfortunately, they had to get out, get cleaned up, and get to bed. They were in for another full day Wednesday. Unfortunately,in true Griswold style, we had a mishap on the way up to our room.\nVan loves elevators. He loves pushing the buttons, which is pretty harmless. For some reason tonight he decided to put his hand on the door as it opened. Jim and I were discussing plans for tomorrow, so I didn\u2019t see it until it was too late. Van\u2019s hand got pinned between the door and the elevator entry wall. It was stuck! Jim and I freaked out, Van started crying, and pandemonium ensued for about 20 seconds. As I held Van\u2019s arm with one hand, I frantically pushed the \u201cdoor close\u201d button and alarm buttons with the other. Jim was pulling on the door trying to get it to close. Finally the door closed and the hand was released. Once he was free, Van calmed down. We iced his hand, he got some magical, healing Mommy kisses on it, and he looked up and told me, \u201cThat\u2019s better.\u201d I felt so relieved. I knew he\u2019d end up with a bad bruise, but at least it was not worse. You can be sure I won\u2019t let him anywhere near an elevator door in the future!\nAs I fell asleep, I had visions of mangled little hands. I said a prayer of thanks that Van wasn\u2019t badly hurt. I know we are so lucky and blessed to be a healthy, happy family and have the opportunity to make memories like the ones we are making on this trip.\nPrevious Celebrating Sixes\nNext Adventures of Historic Proportions",

        "title": "A Voice across the Great Chasm: An Interview with Miroslav Volf - The Other Journal",
        "raw_content": "18: Celebrity Issue\nA Voice across the Great Chasm: An Interview with Miroslav Volf\nBy Chris Keller & Miroslav Volf\nMiroslav Volf, the Henry B. Wright Professor of Systematic Theology at Yale Divinity School, is a world-renown theologian who combines impeccable scholarship with a deep passion for the church. Shaped by his experience of growing up in a Christian community in communist Yugoslavia, Volf has provided an important, distinct theological voice to many of the social and theological issues of our day. In this interview, Volf talks about his new book, Allah: A Christian Response, common misconceptions of the Trinity, and what it means to be a Christian in conversation with Muslim brothers and sisters.\nThe Other Journal (TOJ): In the introduction to your new book, Allah: A Christian Response, you write, \u201cI know that the boundary separating truth and falsehood is not the same as the boundary between political parties or ideological combatants.\u201d Can you talk a little bit about how you see the current political and cultural configuration in the United States obfuscating the truth? And how does this current political landscape cloud our vision as US Christians when it comes to understanding Islam?\nMiroslav Volf (MV): I am writing this response two days after Representative Peter King\u2019s hearings (March 10, 2011) about radicalization in Muslim communities. These hearings were a political spectacle, not an instrument of truth finding. They did something to consolidate the position of Mr. King in his political camp but nothing to improve the security of the nation. To the contrary, instead of eliminating radicalization, I have argued elsewhere that these hearings will perpetuate it.\nAnother example of how the US political landscape obfuscates truth is clearly apparent in the great uproar about the Islamic Center near Ground Zero. That was politically motivated, and it was one massive expression of prejudice. Basically, it rested on identifying Islam with a terrorist ideology. Now, I disagree with Islam on many points\u2014I am, after all, a committed Christian\u2014but to identify Islam with a terrorist ideology is simply false and represents a great injustice toward the majority of Muslims. And this falsehood was publicized in the service of gaining political capital. That is morally wrong. Any right-minded Christian must consider it a grave sin.\nTOJ: The central and bold claim of this book is that \u201cChristians and Muslims worship one and the same God, the only God.\u201d What are the common mistakes about the doctrine of the Trinity that Christians and Muslims both make? When a deeper understanding of the Trinity is realized, how might this open up important commonality between the religions?\nMV: Christians often understand the doctrine of the Trinity as if there were three separate divine agents who form a kind of loving troika and as if, when they want to do something in the world, they deliberate as a committee. Muslims understand what Christians mean by the Trinity in a similar way. They claim that Christians associate another being\u2014Jesus Christ\u2014with God; Christians, in their view, believe in one God and then add to that one God a divine associate.\nBut as I argue in my book, this is all wrong. It is a bastardized doctrine of the Trinity. Christians who know what they are talking about believe that there is one and only one God who has no associates\u2014no divine troika, no divine committee of three. The Word and the Spirit are distinct but inseparable from the Speaker of the Word and Breather of the Spirit, and no divine \u201cperson\u201d\u2014neither Father, nor Son, nor the Spirit\u2014ever acts independently in any activity. The Holy Three who are the Holy One interpenetrate each other in a way that creatures do not. Consequently, you cannot count God in the same way you count things in the world, and of course, you cannot count when it comes to God simply because God is not one of the things to be counted but is a source of all things that can be counted. Therefore, what Muslims deny about the Trinity, we Christians, when we know what we are talking about, do not affirm; Muslims are not contesting what we believe about the divine Trinity. So where some Muslims and Christians think there is an unbridgeable gulf, there is actually much commonality (though also some significant difference).\nTOJ: You argue that the Islamophobia in North America is sustained more by geopolitical interests than by theological difference and discernment. Who benefits from the Islamophobia in North America and what effect does it have on Christian theopolitics?\nMV: Islamophobia is not created by theological differences. It is the other way around: theological differences are exaggerated so that struggles against Muslims can be justified. Again, there are significant differences between Muslim and Christians beliefs, and these differences should be debated. For instance, I believe that a great majority of Muslims have gotten things wrong when it comes to their beliefs about Jesus Christ\u2014both his identity and his work on the cross\u2014as well as some other important Christian beliefs. But this is no reason for considering them enemies. And when some of them in fact act as enemies\u2014as the terrorists inspired by radical versions of Islam do and as those Muslims who persecute Christians in countries like Pakistan do\u2014it is our Christian duty to love them. Christ enacted love of enemies on the cross and commanded us to follow him in this regard. How can I say that I worship Christ as divine Lord and that I rest my life on his love of sinners but act in regard to Muslims in the exact opposite way from what he commands me to do?\nTOJ: As with other books you have written, this book is tied deeply to your personal story. From your time growing up in Communist Yugoslavia to your current interfaith dialogues, what have you discovered as a Christian theologian about God from your Muslim brothers and sisters? What have they taught you about the Christian faith?\nMV: These dialogues have deepened my faith. I have become even more attracted to Jesus Christ\u2014Jesus Christ is the reason I am a Christian\u2014and to the beauty of the Christian faith. And I have rediscovered that because I am so attracted to Jesus Christ and to the Christian faith, I can find new inspiration to respect, care for, and work for the good of people of all religions, Muslims included.\nTOJ: You argue that at the center of their faiths, Christians and Muslims both find the command to love God with their whole selves and to love their neighbors as themselves, and you argue that we must apply this shared ethic to bridge a deep source of conflict between these faiths\u2014missions. You write that \u201cMission, colonialism, and globalization feed off of each other to the detriment of Muslims.\u201d Where does reconciliation start on the heels of something like the war in Iraq, where, as you note, in 2003 missionaries landed shortly after the troops? And if we do need what you call a \u201ccommon code of conduct\u201d for missionary practice, how is such a code created, and by whom?\nMV: Reconciliation always starts in the hearts of individuals and then, ideally, it spreads. Church bodies and political bodies can also be involved. As to the common code of conduct, the discussions can start both at the very top and on the ground. I think that it would be important for influential Muslims, who command the respect of rank-and-file Muslims, to start a formal dialogue on this issue with representative evangelical and Catholic Christians who, again, command the respect of rank-and-file Christians worldwide.\nTOJ: A deep point of friction between the Christian and Muslim faith is how the prophet Muhammad is understood. As a Christian theologian, what are specific ways you understand the prophet Muhammad that are distinctly Christian, respectful to Islam, and consistent with your thesis that we worship the same God?\nMV: Where we stand in relation to Muhammad is a complicated issue that deserves careful deliberation. Clearly, a Christian will not be able to accept Muhammad as \u201cthe Seal of the Prophets.\u201d For Christians, God\u2019s self-revelation in Jesus Christ and in the Bible is ultimate. A Christian will not even be able to accept that Muhammad has the same level of authority as the Old Testament prophets or New Testament apostles. But it might be possible for Christians to think of Muhammad as a prophet in a loose sense of the word, the way we sometimes think of Martin Luther King Jr. or Mahatma Gandhi as prophets. Christians can then judge the truth of their prophetic message against the measuring rod of God\u2019s self-revelation in Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible.\nTOJ: As we watch protests in Egypt, Libya, Iran, Bahrain, and other places in the Middle East, it is evident that this is an important time to have a book like Allah: A Christian Response. We are watching largely peaceful protests that are asking for change in their governments and standing up against tyranny. I\u2019m sorry for such a broad question, but what are your general reflections on the Middle East protests?\nMV: What we see are hopeful signs. We don\u2019t know yet how things will turn out, and it may well be that major difficulties are still ahead of us. After all, none of the big structural problems\u2014for instance, youth unemployment\u2014that plague these nations have been solved by successful revolutions. Egypt is a good example. On the one hand, Muslims and Christians (and secularists) in Egypt have together deposed a dictator. And Muslim leaders like Sheik al-Qaradawi are recognizing publicly the importance of Christians in this endeavor (as I noted in my Huffington Post article from March 3, 2011). At the same time, tensions between some Muslims and Copts continue, and there is a possibility that the Christian minority will have it worse under the new regime than it had under the old. Similarly, unemployment is continuing, and creating jobs will be a major problem. We\u2014Muslims and Christians everywhere\u2014should highlight what we have in common (our similar convictions about the One God, most importantly) so that we can build a common future. As I have argued in Allah: A Christian Response, Muslims and Christians have a common platform to stand on and work together. In the process of working together, however, it will also be important to discuss our differences, whether these touch on the role of women in society or the character of Jesus Christ as the way to God.\nMiroslav Volf is the Henry B.

        "title": "Adam Reiter: The underdog story \u2013 The Simpsonian",
        "raw_content": "Photo by Luke Behaunek\nStanding at 6 feet 9 inches tall, junior forward Adam Reiter is a force to be reckoned with down low for the Simpson men\u2019s basketball team.\nThe first-year starter has helped the Storm claim a 4-2 record, averaging 13.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks. But his path was not the path of your average high school basketball star.\n\u201cThe only reason why Simpson started recruiting me was because they were there to watch Conor (Riordan),\u201d Reiter said. \u201cI was probably like our 11th or 12th guy.\u201d\nStill growing into his body (he grew eight inches before his senior season), Reiter found himself sitting on a deep bench in a guard-heavy, talented offense at Ankeny. His senior year, he averaged a mere three points per game\u2014a stat that doesn\u2019t jump out to college coaches.\nBut Simpson Head Coach Brad Bjorkgren saw potential.\n\u201cWe recruited Conor Riordan pretty hard, so when I was going to games, I was watching this young-looking, tall guy go through warmups,\u201d Bjorkgren said. \u201cAfter Conor committed, I said to him that I\u2019d like to know more about Adam \u2026 Conor was all in on recruiting him.\u201d\nIn his sophomore season, Riordan was a breakout star a year ago, averaging 19.4 points and earning first team all-conference honors. But once again, the path wasn\u2019t the same for his high school teammate.\nAt the start of the 2017-18 season, Reiter was sitting as the third big-man on the squad behind senior all-conference forward Sam Amsbaugh and fellow sophomore Kenton Thoms. When Thoms went down with an injury early in the year, Reiter was forced to play meaningful minutes when Amsbaugh needed a break or was in foul trouble.\n\u201cThat was the best learning experience that I could get,\u201d Reiter said. \u201cI was definitely really nervous. My heart was beating, like, a thousand miles an hour. Those first few games I was sweating bullets.\u201d\nAfter settling in and settling down, Reiter showed he was capable of performing at a high level when the Storm needed him.\n\u201cI was definitely more relaxed and confident as the season progressed,\u201d Reiter said. \u201cIf you look at the eye-test and also stats, I think the more big games I played in, the better I was doing.\u201d\nNow, a season later, Reiter is the man responsible for replacing Amsbaugh in the starting lineup.\n\u201cThe thing that Adam is handling better and still needs to get better at is, now all of a sudden, he\u2019s a 25-minute guy,\u201d Bjorkgren said. \u201cIt\u2019s a different role for him. He\u2019s a starter, and he\u2019s earned that spot and he needs to continue to accept his role and expand it.\u201d\nReiter attributes much of his improvement to assistant coach Brandon Stromer. Stromer works with the post-players in practice and has worked hard to develop Reiter\u2019s game.\nReiter was given the opportunity to show off his much-improved game this summer at the YMCA Cap City League in Des Moines.\nIn the league, the best college basketball players in the state of Iowa are drafted to teams, and the public can watch for free. A late addition, he was able to gain more confidence by playing against, and beating, Division I players.\n\u201cWe both got to play in the Cap City League,\u201d Riordan said. \u201cIt was totally evident, like, he was going up against Michael Jacobson (ISU) and a bunch of these D-I guys, and he was holding his own. He was playing really well, and that can only boost your confidence.\u201d\nA true underdog, Reiter never stopped believing in himself, no matter how tough the times seemed.\n\u201cI knew my talents, and I knew I could always bring a lot to the floor,\u201d Reiter said. \u201cI never stopped believing in myself, and I think if you have a passion and you\u2019re always confident in yourself, it\u2019s going to pay you back for sure. Once you work hard, the process will love you back eventually.\u201d\nTags: adam reiter, basketball, brad bjorkgren, conor riordan, simpson college, storm athletics",

        "raw_content": "Eagles football gets underway with home game\nAugust 29, 2012\tFootball, Sports Comments Off on Eagles football gets underway with home game\nThe Vienna-Goreville High School football team kicked off its fourth season of varsity level competition last Saturday at Vienna, with a 34-20 loss to Chester.\nThe Yellow Jackets took the opening kick-off and went on a 66 yard drive that ended with a short touchdown run at the 7:30 mark. The kick for the conversion was no good. V-G answered with an 80 yard drive that featured the running of Caleb Belcher, Hayden McClain, Caleb Miles, and Connor Seavers. Seavers scored on a three yard run near the end of the first period and Mason Bishop kicked the extra point to give the Eagles a 7-6 lead. Chester took a 12-7 lead when they scored on a 25 yard pass play early in the second quarter. The pass for the extra points was incomplete. The Eagles once again responded by driving 70 yards, with Seavers scoring on a nine yard run. Bishop\u2019s conversion kick was wide, putting V-G ahead 13-12 with 3:52 left in the half. Chester scored again with 1:10 remaining on a 19 yard touchdown run and two point conversion, to give them a 20-13 halftime lead.\nNeither squad could move the ball early in the third period as both teams were forced to punt on their first two possessions. Late in the quarter, Chester recovered a V-G fumble, then scored on an 11 yard pass play. The conversion kick was good, giving the Yellow Jackets a 27-13 lead going into the fourth quarter. With 6:57 left to play Chester appeared headed for another score when V-G\u2019s Blake Crain picked up a fumble and ran it back to the Yellow Jackets\u2019 29 yard line. Five plays later, Colton Brown made a leaping catch of a Christian Dahncke pass in the end zone for a 12 yard touchdown reception. Bishop\u2019s kick was good, closing the gap to 27-20 with plenty of time left. However, Chester returned the ensuing kick-off for a touchdown, and the extra point kick made the 34-20 final margin.\nConnor Seavers led the V-G rushing attack with 96 yards. Hayden McClain had 38 yards, Caleb Belcher added 25, and Caleb Miles ran for 19. Christian Dahncke threw for 42 yards, with Colton Brown (19), Seavers (17), and Miles (6) combining for the receiving yards.\nThe V-G varsity squad travels to Hamilton County this Friday for a 7 p.m. game. The freshman team takes on Hamilton County this Thursday at Vienna, at 5 p.m., and the sophomore team has a home game with Hamilton County next Tuesday (Sept. 4), at 5 p.m.\nvienna-goreville football\t2012-08-29\nTags vienna-goreville football",

You\u2019ll hear a number of familiar sounds, but what I like is that with the tools of the trade and the ingredients to create, he adds something of himself into each of these tracks. It\u2019s not lazy production, far from it, and I found myself concentrating on his tracks on the same level as the production greats.\nAs for Venomous2000, he has a charisma that doesn\u2019t sound fake or forced, it sounds quite natural and it\u2019ll make you want to hear each of the 16 songs featured on Still Connected. Maybe that comes from being East Coast and representing New Jersey, or simply choosing to keep to the (sometimes) unspoken honor system that genuinely becomes a state of mind and how you do things. How does he do things? Listen to \u201cGod\u2019s Prison\u201d, \u201cSearching\u201d, \u201cStep 1, Rock 2\u201d, and \u201cStress Relief\u201d, which aren\u2019t only songs but may come off to some as important and encouraging listens, teaching listeners that they\u2019re not alone and dealing with the various things in our lives that tend to grind us down.\nSmart/intelligent, exceptional, and maybe for some, life-affirming. Naysayers might read that and go \u201cwow, that\u2019s the recipe for corny\u201d but I would say listen to it first before you throw out verbal vegetables. This is a powerful and positive hip-hop album that you will want to recommend to a lot of people, and you\u2019re not going to be ashamed to say you\u2019re a fan.\nhttp://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/v=2/album=300497648/size=venti/bgcol=4AC200/linkcol=DCABF6/\nPosted in Bandcamp, MP3\t| Tagged hip-hop, Kingshon, Venomous2000\t| Leave a comment",

Courtesy UC Riverside\nIf Republican front-runner Donald Trump succeeds in building his border wall, it may choke off the fastest growing source of new businesses in California.\nResearch released last week by UC Riverside found that businesses owned by Hispanics are being created at a significantly faster pace than all businesses in the United States, California and the inland Southern California region.\nIn fact, Hispanics are proving to be the one major demographic group that is bucking a trend of diminished business formation following the Great Recession.\nHispanic-owned businesses now comprise 37 percent of all businesses in inland Southern California \u2014 Riverside and San Bernardino counties \u2014 23 percent in California and 12 percent across the U.S.\nThe new analysis finds that from 2007 to 2012, the number of Hispanic-owned businesses grew 46 percent across the U.S., 44 percent in California, and a whopping 51 percent in Inland Southern California.\nComparatively, the rate of growth among all businesses was much slower \u2014 3 percent across the U.S., 5 percent in California, and 8 percent in Inland Southern California.\nThe study by the Center for Economic Forecasting and Development at the UC Riverside School of Business Administration examined data from the Census Bureau\u2019s newest Survey of Business Owners, which is published once every five years The most recent survey includes data on business owners through 2012 and was released in December.\n\u201cFor years, Hispanics have made up a large and growing share of the population and workforce of the nation, state, and inland region,\u201d said Christopher Thornberg, director of the forecasting center and one of the report\u2019s lead authors. \u201cAs a measure of socio-economic advancement, it is an important and positive trend to see propietorships increasing and a healthier balance developing between Hispanic business owners and workers.\u201d\nThe one negative for Hispanic businesses, according to the study, is that they tend to have fewer employees and lower revenues. The authors say that is due to the fact that Hispanic businesses are newer overall.\nEarthFair, Avocado Festival Fill San Diego County's Sunday \u00bb\n\u00ab Sports Chalet Closing All Stores, Including 3 in San Diego",

Total Capital backed Arthouse in 2007.\nRossendale-based Arthouse is one of the largest providers of wall coverings and home decoration products in the UK, supplying to major retailers including B&Q, B&M, Wilko and Homebase.\nSince Anita Kenyon led the MBO of Arthouse in 2007, the business has delivered impressive growth, increasing its annual turnover from \u00a317 million to \u00a325 million and its employee base from 37 to 65. The management team has worked with Total Capital to diversify its product lines, sales channels, supplier base and to expand internationally.\nWith the support of NorthEdge, Arthouse is now looking to further strengthen its presence in the UK, and expand into overseas markets, in particular the US and Middle East. It is also aiming to enhance its digital offering, and make further bolt-on acquisitions, with focus on other companies in the UK targeting overseas markets.\nAnita Kenyon, Managing Director at Arthouse, commented:\n\u201cWe have worked closely with the team at Total Capital for eight years since taking the business independent. Their innovative investment structure was ideally suited to support our growth plans, with the result that we have diversified to become one of the country\u2019s leading suppliers of interior decor solutions.\nNatalie Eastham, founding partner of Total Capital and former non-executive director of Arthouse, commented:\n\u201cAnita and the team at Arthouse have done a fantastic job since the initial MBO.

        "raw_content": "Some people have fixed ideas about telemarketing and they are almost uniformly negative. But seeing it simply as a means of badgering people to buy things they do not really want and intruding on their lives is a very limited view.\nThe truth is, in the right context, telemarketing is a highly valuable marketing tool, employed with skill and diligence.\nPaula Bates, Managing Director of Toucan Telemarketing, explains how it works for B2B lead generation, and why it is a powerful means of engaging with prospects while complementing other marketing activities.\nBreathing New Life into a Lost Skill\n\u201cConversation has always been the key to relationship-building, and talking to prospects on the phone should be no different. Using the telephone for lead generation is a sound principle, providing you go about it the right way.\n\u201cThe temptation, in a connected, digital world, is to see talking on the phone as somehow inessential when there are other marketing channels. What we find, though, is that it is an essential component in a wider marketing strategy.\n\u201cWe can win big business for our clients not by selling but by making introductions. It\u2019s like matchmaking for B2B.\n\u201cIt\u2019s about having the right people for the job, who have the necessary skills to engage with businesses over the phone. We have a rigorous selection process to ensure we have people with personalities to match the demands of the work.\u201d\n\u201cWe fit right in with digital marketing strategies because we provide the crucial follow-up to email campaigns and the pull marketing of landing pages and blogs. Metrics and analytics will give you names, downloadable content will give you email addresses, but we\u2019re the people who can make verbal contact and take your engagement to the next level.\n\u201cFor many businesses, they don\u2019t have the resource to keep calling people and, crucially, they\u2019re not comfortable doing it. For us, it\u2019s what we specialise in.\u201d\n\u201cIt can be a case of looking to increase your business coverage from scratch, which means reaching out with targeted calls. In fact, it\u2019s a form of content marketing, because the content of the call, the subjects we raise, will be what brings results.\n\u201cAlso, like content marketing, the means of delivery is vital \u2013 the calls we make should start a dialogue by striking a tone that\u2019s friendly but also professional. This\nis what makes a difference, and what marks out our form of telemarketing as a professional marketing discipline.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "David Hogg Turns on Democratic Leadership: 'Pelosi Is Old' And Needs to 'Move the F**k Off the Plate'\nIn a New York Magazine cover story, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting survivor turned progressive activist David Hogg lashed out at Democratic leadership, accusing them of not getting \u201cthe f**k off the plate\u201d and giving the next generation its turn.\nIn the glowing profile, Hogg shares that he plans to run for office when he turns 25. He is on a gap year but will begin college next year and read a \u201cs**tload of books.\u201d\nHe said that Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is \u201ca future president of the United States\u201d and floated the idea of age limits for politicians.\nOcasio-Cortez, 28, won a primary against fourth-ranking House Democrat Joe Crowley (D-NY), but has made a series of gaffes since coming into the national spotlight. Most recently, she drew criticism for banning press from some of her events.\n\u201cThe reason Republicans are successful right now is because they\u2019re empowering young people,\u201d Hogue argued. \u201cOlder Democrats just won\u2019t move the f**k off the plate and let us take control. Nancy Pelosi is old.\u201d\nThere has recently been some clamoring within the Democratic Party for Pelosi to step down, particularly from Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA), the fifth-ranking House Democrat, who called for a \u201cgenerational change\u201d in the leadership, pointing out that the top three House Democrats, Pelosi, Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) , and Clyburn, are all \u201cof the same generation,\u201d in their late 70s.\nFollowing the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Pelosi was among the loudest voices pushing for stricter gun laws.\n\u201cI\u2019d rather pass gun-safety legislation than win the election, because people die from this,\" she said at the time.\nNew York Magazine\u2019s Lisa Miller also notes Hogg's criticisms of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former president Barack Obama, lamenting that \u201chis antenna for adult hypocrisy has made it especially difficult to find a comfortable vision of a future self \u2014 he sees so few real-life examples of the kind of politician he aspires to be.\u201d\nHogg\u2019s expletive-laden criticisms of politicians are reminiscent of an interview he gave to The Outline in March.\n\"It's like when your old-a** parents are like, \u2018I don't know how to send an iMessage,' and you're just like, \u2018Give me the f**king phone' and you take it and you're like, \u2018OK, let me handle it,' and you get it done in one second,\" Hogg said. \"Sadly, that's what we have to do with our government because our parents don't know how to use a f**king democracy, so we have to.\"\nHogg\u2019s mother told New York Magazine that \u201cfrom birth her son has been an old soul and preternaturally mature.\u201d",

        "title": "Two Ends of the Pen: Interview with Meg Benjamin, RUNNING ON EMPTY",
        "raw_content": "Sure. Running On Empty is book 3 in my Salt Box Trilogy (Books 1 and 2 were published by Samhain Publishing).\nShe\u2019s running her heart out to stay in the same place.\nRonnie Ventura has every reason to distrust Fairstein Productions: she\u2019s had run-ins with their shows before. But Fairstein\u2019s newest reality show offers Ronnie a chance to redeem herself from looking like a blonde bimbo. All she has to do is win a modified triathlon. Simple, right? Except this is Fairstein, and nothing is ever simple with them.\nRonnie\u2019s boss at the Blarney Stone bar and caf\u00e9, owner Ted Saltzman, is a lot less convinced that another Fairstein show is just what Ronnie needs, particularly when he\u2019s head over heels about Ronnie himself. But she\u2019s determined, and he\u2019s a man in love.\nTed becomes her running coach, which fans their budding romance to a fever. But can Ronnie\u2019s newfound confidence stand up to the usual Fairstein plots? And can Ted find a way to keep his true love in Salt Box if Hollywood tries to steal her away again?\nI\u2019m very fond of my heroine, Ronnie Ventura. Ronnie first appeared in book 1 of the trilogy, Finding Mr. Right Now, where she was a na\u00efve and sort of annoying bachelorette on a reality show. In book 2, Love In the Morning, she\u2019d become a lot savvier, and her backstage knowledge about the reality show world helped the book\u2019s heroine overcome a major challenge in her life. Now she\u2019s the heroine herself and I had a lot of fun showing how much she\u2019s grown and what traits she still shares with the sweet innocent from Finding Mr. Right Now.\nThis happens to me all the time! I just finished a book where a little girl showed up as a very minor character (a sales clerk) and managed to become a major part of the plot before I was done. Her contribution made me rethink how the Big Black Moment would take place in that book. And now she\u2019s become a major supporting character in the next book in that series.\nI do both. Running on Empty was originally supposed to have been published by Samhain Publishing, but they went through a difficult period and I took the rights back. Publishing this book myself has been a major learning experience, but I\u2019m so glad I did it. Now I know how the process works, and I\u2019ll feel more confident about publishing books on my own if that seems to be the more promising way to go.\nAs I said, Running On Empty was originally set to be published by Samhain, which published books 1 (Finding Mr. Right Now) and 2 (Love In the Morning). When Samhain went through financial difficulties, they could no longer bring the book out. My choice was to let the trilogy remain unfinished or to publish the book myself. I really wanted to bring the trilogy to a close and to give Ronnie a chance to be the heroine of her own story, so I decided to go for it.\nSamhain always allowed a lot of writer input on cover design. The first two covers in the trilogy were done by Angela Waters with a common theme: Mountains (the books take place in Salt Box, Colorado), a sunrise/sunset, and a happy couple. I really wanted the cover for Running On Empty to use the same theme, so I contacted Angie, who (fortunately for me) also works freelance. I found the couple I wanted to use on a stock photo site, and Angie put the cover together. I\u2019m very happy with the way it worked out.\nI\u2019ve belonged to various critique groups over the years, but I sort of evolved into using a critique partner, the fabulous Teri Wilson. We exchange chapters every week or so. To me, it\u2019s more useful to have the same person look at extended passages from a book so that she knows what\u2019s come before and what you\u2019re trying to do. Teri\u2019s been a huge help in finding plot holes and pointing out things about the characters that I wouldn\u2019t have picked up on my own.\nI wish I could use music, but I really have to have silence to write. I can\u2019t really deal with distractions\u2014I have to be able to concentrate on what I\u2019m doing.\nI\u2019m a total plotter, always have been. I really need to have a clear idea of where the plot\u2019s going before I start to write. I may end up heading in different directions once I actually start working, but I need to know I won\u2019t run out of ideas as I go.\nAbsolutely! Having an editor look over your manuscript is a crucial step in getting your book ready for publication. In my case the editor pointed out some weaknesses I hadn\u2019t noticed (and took care of quickly), as well as picking up those random mechanical errors that can cause all kinds of problems. I used to be a copyeditor, but it\u2019s almost impossible to edit your own book\u2014you\u2019ll read through the errors because you know what\u2019s supposed to be there. Kelli Collins, my editor, made a big contribution here.\nMeg Benjamin is an award-winning author of contemporary romance. Her Konigsburg series for Samhain Publishing is set in the Texas Hill Country and her Ramos Family Trilogy is set in San Antonio\u2019s King William District. Her Salt Box trilogy takes place in her new home the Colorado Rockies. She\u2019s also the author of Going Up In Flames, part of the Sapphire Falls Kindle World series.

        "title": "5 Ways Multilingual Education Helps ELL Students Succeed",
        "raw_content": "5 Ways Multilingual Education Helps ELL Students Succeed\nDid you know that February 21 was International Mother Language Day? UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) began observing International Mother Language Day in 2000 to promote multilingualism and linguistic diversity.\nInternational Mother Language Day has a different theme each year. This year\u2019s theme is \u201cTowards Sustainable Futures Through Multilingual Education.\u201d But what is multilingual education, why is it important? And\nis it as important in countries where the majority of people speak English?\nWhat is multilingual education, anyway?\nMultilingual education means that students are educated in their mother tongue when they begin school, even if they don\u2019t speak the dominant or official language. Later on, students who have learned to speak the official language are taught in both languages.\nMultilingual education has a wide range of benefits for both ELL students and the community as a whole. Here are 5 ways multilingual education helps ELL students learn.\nWhy do students need multilingual education?\nForget what you might have heard about ELL students needing to be taught in English as much and as early as possible. Research shows that children learn better when they are taught in their mother tongue at first. It\u2019s much harder for students to understand what\u2019s being taught when they struggle to understand the language of instruction.\nTeaching ELL students in their mother tongue first prevents them from getting behind as they learn a new language. In fact, according to UNESCO, \u201cat least six years of mother tongue instruction is needed to reduce learning gaps for minority language speakers.\u201d\nMultilingual education increases language capabilities in both the students\u2019 first and second languages.\nOf course, students in the US and other English-speaking countries do need to learn English. But teaching young ELL students in their native language first actually leads to better English skills later on.\nFor example, in Mali, the official language is French. But many families speak indigenous African languages at home. Mali children who are taught in their mother tongue when they start school speak French better by the end of elementary school than students educated in French alone.\nAnd it\u2019s not just Mali. That same trend shows up again and again, in research from Burkina Faso, Guatemala, and yes, the United States. Children who are taught in their native language first and who are more proficient in their native language become more proficient in their second language, as well.\nMultilingual education keeps parents involved.\nParental involvement is key to student success. But how can we expect parents to be involved if they don\u2019t understand what\u2019s going on? Want parents with low English proficiency to stay engaged in their children\u2019s schooling? Multilingual education combined with a well-planned translation program will enable and encourage their participation.\nOf course, it\u2019s also important that your translated outreach materials be culturally sensitive and tailored to the parents at your school. For more, see our resource Translating K12 Outreach: 5 Translation Tips to Reach LEP Parents.\nMultilingual education can help alleviate poverty.\nAccording to UNESCO, multilingual education helps improve test scores, encourages academic achievement and reduces dropout rates. Education is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty in vulnerable populations. For example, UNESCO notes that one extra year of school increases earnings by 10% for individuals overall and 20% for women.\nMultilingual education fosters respect for cultural diversity.\nAs this report from the New York Department of Education notes, ELL students who maintained proficiency in their native language had better self-esteem because they understood that their culture and heritage were valued.\nOf course, your institution may not have the resources to offer the type of fully multilingual education promoted by UNESCO. Even so, you can encourage ELL student success by:\nReaching out to families in their native languages\nTaking their culture and experiences into account\nTailoring communications to the family\u2019s level of literacy\nVIA can help.

        "raw_content": "discover (verb) to see, get knowledge of, learn of, find, or find out; gain sight or knowledge of something previously unknown or unseen\nOne of my favorite things about running is being able to discover new places. Whether it\u2019s just down the road or thousands of miles away, running gives me the ability to learn about an area that is new to me. I just love that.\nA few years ago, I snapped that picture above on a run. It remains one of my favorite pictures to this day. When I was running in the countryside, that view just floored me. I couldn\u2019t believe that a mile down the road from where my father-in-law lives, there was a whole other world. Had I not mustered up the courage to just go a little further and look for something new, I would have just been stuck running on the same road time and time again.\nI suppose a part of why I love running is that this discovery of new places, give me a glimpse at just how much I can miss if I\u2019m not running. If I was driving down this same country road, nine times out of ten I would not have noticed the way the corn field sloped down and was filled with mud from the recent rainfall. The red silo and barn, crooked fence posts and the hazy morning light would have just been a passing blur had I not taken the opportunity to go running down this road.\nDiscovery is a beautiful gift and you don\u2019t even have to go thousands of miles away to unwrap it. It\u2019s right in your neighborhood, in our backyards. Running down a road or taking the unmarked trail I never noticed before (usually) has a pleasant way of surprising me.",

        "raw_content": "Researcher Seeks to Starve Cancer of Nutrients\nFor Pew-Stewart Scholar for Cancer Research Roberto Zoncu, science has always been an adventure. \u201cScientific research allows you to explore the unknown,\u201d he said.\nRoberto Zoncu in his laboratory at University of California, Berkeley.\nGrowing up in Sardinia, Italy, with physicians for parents, he knew from an early age that he wanted to improve care for people suffering from some of the most serious illnesses. But instead of treating patients, Zoncu decided to focus his efforts at the cellular level by investigating the biological mechanisms of diseases.\nAfter studying neuroscience at the University of Pisa, Zoncu came to the United States as a doctoral student and began to explore cell biology and physiology in the laboratory of Pietro de Camilli at Yale University. As a postdoctoral fellow, he joined the laboratory of 2003 Pew scholar David Sabatini and began to ask big-picture questions in cellular biology\u2014for instance, how does a cell\u2019s intake and release of nutrients affect an organism\u2019s metabolism?\n\u201cI wanted to understand how organisms react to food by visualizing this process as it unfolds inside individual cells in real time,\u201d he said.\nToday, as a member of the inaugural class of Pew-Stewart Scholars for Cancer Research and assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, Zoncu continues to investigate cellular energy flux. In researching how cells sense their own nutrients, Zoncu has found that a particular enzyme plays a vital role in making sure that a cell has the proper balance of nutrients and energy.\nIn a healthy cell, a structure called the lysosome\u2014originally thought of as a cellular \u201crecycle bin\u201d\u2014breaks down materials that the cell consumes or will eliminate. Zoncu found that the lysosome monitors nutrient levels and helps regulate the cell\u2019s metabolism. For example, when cells experience stress, the lysosome becomes hyperactive to increase nutrient intake.\nFluorescence micrograph of affinity beads coated with organelles known as lysosomes. The lysosomes appear red due to the presence of a fluorescence protein (RFP) on their surface, and can be seen as individual red dots in the inset. Immuno-isolated lysosomes are the starting point for biochemical and microscopy-aided assays that will determine how these organelles supply essential nutrients to cancer cells.\n\u201cThe problem is that cancer cells can also use the lysosome to their own advantage,\u201d explained Zoncu. \u201cIn that way, they\u2019re able to salvage nutrients and continue to grow.\u201d\nZoncu wants to understand how the lysosome provides cancer cells with a survival advantage in an environment that is poor in nutrients. Ultimately, understanding how to thwart this activity will position him to create novel therapies for the disease.\n\u201cThe Pew-Stewart award is great because it allows me to take a new approach in my research,\u201d said Zoncu. \u201cNot only do I now have the financial means to do that, but I also look forward to networking with like-minded scientists in Pew\u2019s biomedical programs.\u201d\nThe Pew-Stewart Scholars Program for Cancer Research is a national initiative\u2014funded by the Alexander and Margaret Stewart Trust and administered by Pew\u2014launched in 2014 to support promising early career scientists whose research will accelerate discovery and advance progress to a cure for cancer. This article is part of a series highlighting Pew\u2019s biomedical programs, which have supported promising beginning researchers in the health sciences since 1985.\nThis article was originally published by The Pew Charitable Trusts at http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/about/news-room/news/2014/12/16/researcher-seeks-to-starve-cancer-of-nutrients.",

        "title": "Naneu K5 V2 Field Test - Visual Adventures",
        "raw_content": "Naneu K5 V2 Field Test\nPosted May 10th, 2013 by Mike Hagen | Photography, Travel | Permalink\nThe Naneu K5 V2 expedition backpack and camera bag. Photo by Allison Hagen.\nA few weeks ago I took a brand-new prototype hiking photo backpack from Naneu Bags on trek into the Northwest forest for a field test. As I previously mentioned in a blog post back in February, 2013, I found a Kickstarter campaign by Naneu for their brand-new K5 V2. I contacted their headquarters and asked the owner of the company if he would send me a prototype for testing, and to my surprise he happily agreed. The Naneu K5 V2 is specifically designed for photographers who go on multi-day back-country hiking trips with a full complement of camping gear and camera gear. In my mind, the K5 V2 seemed too good to be true. I\u2019ve been going on back-country adventures for a long time, so I was a bit skeptical that a backpack would be able to do it all. By \u201call\u201d I mean be big enough to hold both my camera gear and my hiking/climbing equipment.\nAfter receiving the prototype and taking it out of the shipping box, my heart skipped a beat. Seriously. This bag is the real deal. I couldn\u2019t wait to get it out on the trail, so a few days later, I took the pack out for a hike to test it in the real world. I stuffed the backpack with about 40 pounds of hiking gear, then loaded the camera bag in the front with a Nikon D800, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8, and 14-24mm f/2.8. To my surprise, everything fit just fine! After a few minutes of setting up the suspension and straps, I set off for a few miles on the trail to see how the system performed.\nIt became evident right away that the K5 V2 is incredibly well designed and that quite a bit of thought went into every pocket, seam, strap, and zipper. Everything about the backpack is fully integrated and modular which allows you to reconfigure it for the type of trip you are taking. For example, the front camera bag will nest fully inside the main backpack if you don\u2019t want to carry the camera gear in front. Alternately, the camera bag pouch can be repurposed into a small backpack (see below).\nEverything on the system is adjsutable from strap lengths, to waist belt, to suspension height, to chest strap. I do a lot of outdoor and adventure photography and have been using technical backpacks for decades now. I\u2019m really pleased with the technology Naneu put into the K5 V2. The materials are top-notch and everything just works. Also, since the backpack has a capacity of 80 liters, it is big enough to hold a giant load for multi-day back-country adventures. My estimate is that it is big enough for hikes lasting between 7 \u2013 10 days.\nOne of the neat features on the K5 V2 are the small pockets on the waist belt. I found these very useful as they are the perfect size to hold batteries and memory cards while hiking. Also, I used these waist belt pockets to hold a smaller point and shoot camera, the Canon S110.\nThe camera bag portion of the K5 V2 is the perfect size to hold a pro DSLR and three f/2.8 lenses. If you travel with a smaller camera system, then you can use half of the camera bag for food/drink and the other half for camera gear.\nHere, I\u2019m holding a D800 with 24-70mm f/2.8 mounted and a 70-200mm f/2.8. My 14-24mm f/2.8 is inside the camera case. Photo by Allison Hagen.\nI placed my Gitzo carbon fiber tripod in one of the exterior side pockets (see first photo), but the K5 V2 also has a dedicated tripod pouch that attaches to the back side of the pack.\nAs I mentioned above, one of the neat features of the K5 V2 is that the front camera bag can even be repurposed as it\u2019s own small backpack. You can see how the setup works in the two images below of my wife. This mini backpack feature is helpful for when you\u2019ve arrived at your base camp and want to go out exploring with a tiny day pack. Additionally, the camera bag portion ships with a shoulder strap so you can use it like a traditional around-town shoulder bag.\nThe camera bag case easily converts into its own backpack as shown here.\nHere\u2019s Stephanie hiking with the camera bag portion of the Naneu K5 V2.\nI don\u2019t have any vested interest with Naneu other than the fact that I wrote the owner of the company and asked if I could test out their prototype. That said, I\u2019ve since returned the K5 V2 to the owner, but I can\u2019t wait to get one for myself. Seriously, it\u2019s good. Very good. I\u2019ve been looking for a pack like this since I started my serious pursuit of photography in the early 1990\u2019s. The K5 V2 will hold all my hiking and climbing gear for a week-long trip, while also holding just the perfect amount of camera gear.\nSo, what are the downsides of the K5 V2? Well, from a design standpoint, I found very little to nit-pick. Honestly, I think the only negative is that the overall weight when loaded with all my gear is going to be too much to handle! A week\u2019s worth of back-country gear easily weighs 40-50 pounds, then tack on my pro DSLR gear with another 10-15 pounds and the total pack weight is quickly up to 50 or 65 pounds. I take this much gear with my traditional backpacks, so it is hardly a \u201cdownside\u201d for the K5 V2. Maybe the difference is that the K5 V2 makes it too easy to bring along my f/2.8 lenses, where before I would bring my all-in-one zoom lenses because I didn\u2019t have the space.\nSince the Naneu K5 V2 is currently in the prototype stage, you won\u2019t be able to purchase the bag just yet. The developers are in the final phase of design and should have bags ready for the market in August/September 2013. Right now, the plan is produce two colors of the K5 V2 in dark blue or black. Head over to their website here to see their other excellent products while also keeping up to date with their progress on the K5 V2: https://www.naneubags.com. This backpack gets a very high recommendation from me and I know it will get used in my mountain adventures.\nHere\u2019s the K5 V2 from the front. Photo by Stephanie Hagen.\nTaking a camera in and out of the case is very easy to do. In fact, that\u2019s the genius of the K5 V2; it is designed to allow you to photograph while on the run.

It seems that certain probiotics may even be able to help some individuals to attain their weight loss goals.\nWhat are the Benefits of Probiotics for Weight Loss?\nCertain studies are now finding that probiotics, whether those found in foods or supplements, may be able to help individuals to lose those extra pounds.\nA research study that was published by Lay, et al, in the journal Nature found that the balance of good bacteria is different in those who are obese when compared to those who are leaner. As the obese participants in the study lost weight, the balance of this microbiota became more equalized, showing how excess stores of fat can affect digestive health.\nThis could make it appear that obesity, or the storage of excess adipose tissue, can negatively impact gut flora. Scientists are finding that this association may go both ways. By regulating the balance of the microbiome in the gut through the use of probiotics, individuals may be able to lose excess weight.\nIncreased Fat Elimination\nFor some dieters, removing consumed fat from the body before it has a chance to do damage would be a great help. Probiotics may increase the amount of dietary fat that is released by the body through feces, according to the results of a study published in Lipds in Health and Disease by Japanese researchers.\nFat consumed by the subjects was not as easily digested for use or for storage by the body in those who were given certain probiotics, resulting in the excess consumed fat being eliminated by the body through the digestive tract.\nAs the fat was being emulsified through normal bodily processes, fat droplets were found to be larger in those who were given the specific probiotics. While the mechanism of action is unknown at this time, perhaps the larger droplets of fat are not able to be used as easily by the body, allowing them to be released as waste.\nTaking the appropriate probiotics for weight loss could be beneficial for those who want to lose weight while eating a balanced diet to help prevent the accumulation of excess fat while they are trying to lose what they already have.\nThose who have a hard time losing those extra pounds because they feel hungry all of the time might want to think about using probiotics for weight loss. It seems that certain probiotics may actually influence how satisfied you feel by regulating the way your body reacts to a hormone called leptin.\nLeptin is produced by fat cells to let the brain know that there is enough stored away for energy. The brain can then signal the body to reduce the appetite. However, those who are obese may develop what is known as leptin resistance, where the brain can no longer properly identify those signals when leptin levels get way too high.\nResearch in the British Journal of Nutrition showed that probiotic supplementation helped leptin signals to reach the brain, allowing subjects to feel more satisfied after eating. In turn, this can help individuals to eat fewer calories to better help with weight loss.\nDecreased Fat Storage\nWhile certain probiotics have been shown to move some of the extra fat that is consumed out of the body before it can cause problems, it appears that probiotics may help to reduce the amount of additional fat that is stored in the body. The reduction of increased fat stored occurred even with excess food intake.\nResearch by Osterberg, et al, published in the journal Obesity showed that those who were given a certain probiotic gained less weight while eating too many calories compared to those who were given a placebo. Another study shows how the good bacteria of the gut may affect this. Aronsson, et al, in a study published in PloS One, found that a certain protein can help to prevent the accumulation of fat within adipose tissue.\nThis protein is increased with a proper balance of the microbiome in the gut, effectively reducing how much consumed fat gets stored for later use. While these studies did not necessarily show the benefits of probiotics for weight loss, it showed that the use of probiotics can help with weight management by reducing the amount of extra calories that are stored as fat.\nAnother way that probiotics have been shown as useful in regards to body weight is in their ability to reduce the amount of fat that is currently being stored by the body. This process actually begins in the gut, according to research by Omar, et al, that is published in the Journal of Functional Foods.\nBy increasing the number of specific good bacteria in the intestines through the use of supplementation of probiotics, researchers were able to induce a change in body composition in the subjects. The probiotics changed the way the body utilized food for energy, allowing for an increase in the use of existing fat stores for fuel. Individuals noted a decrease in body fat, specifically around the organs. The probiotics given in the study helped subjects to enjoy more weight loss, a healthier BMI, and loss of belly fat.\nBy equalizing the levels of beneficial bacteria that are found in the digestive tract, probiotics can help the body to function more effectively. The same study that showed probiotics may reduce the amount of fat that is already stored in the body draws interest in the ability of these same probiotics to increase metabolism.\nA health metabolism continues to use calories, even when you are not exercising. Fat is a little more difficult for the body to digest, so many dieters find that they lose muscle over fat stores when eating a calorie-restricted diet.\nBecause probiotics may change how the body utilizes macronutrients for fuel, these beneficial bacteria can help the body to burn fat for fuel rather than the protein stored in muscle. Those who take probiotics with their healthy diet and exercise program may enjoy a higher calorie burn even during inactive periods.",

        "raw_content": "Analysis and Characterization of Fiber Nonlinearities with Deterministic and Stochastic Signal Sources\njhlee_etd.pdf (1.211Mb)\nLee, Jong-Hyung\nIn this dissertation, various analytical models to characterize fiber nonlinearities have been applied, and the ranges of validity of the models are determined by comparing with numerical results.\nFirst, the perturbation approach is used to solve the nonlinear Schr\u00c3\u00b6dinger equation, and its range of validity is determined by comparing to the split-step Fourier method. In addition, it is shown mathematically that the perturbation approach is equivalent to the Volterra series approach. Secondly, root-mean-square (RMS) widths both in the time domain and in the frequency domain are modeled. It is shown that there exists an optimal input pulse width to minimize output pulse width based on the derived RMS models, and the functional form of the minimum output pulse width is derived. The response of a fiber to a sinusoidally modulated input which models an alternating bit sequence is studied to see its utility in measuring system performance in the presence of the fiber nonlinearities. In a single channel system, the sinusoidal response shows a strong correlation with eye-opening penalty in the normal dispersion region over a wide range of parameters, but over a more limited range in the anomalous dispersion region. The cross-phase modulation (CPM) penalty in a multi-channel system is also studied using the sinusoidally modulated input signal. The derived expression shows good agreement with numerical results in conventional fiber systems over a wide range of channel spacing, df, and in dispersion-shifted fiber systems when df > 100GHz. It is also shown that the effect of fiber nonlinearities may be characterized with stochastic input signals using noise-loading analysis. In a dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) system where channels are spaced very closely, the broadened spectrum due to various nonlinear effects like SPM (self-phase modulation), CPM, and FWM (four-wave mixing) is in practice indistinguishable. In such a system, the noise-loading analysis could be useful in assessing the effects of broadened spectrum due to fiber nonlinearities on system performance. Finally, it is shown numerically how fiber nonlinearities can be utilized to improve system performance of a spectrum-sliced WDM system.\nThe major limiting factors of utilizing fiber nonlinearities are also discussed.",

        "raw_content": "Ambient Studios Part i\nIf I had free reign to establish my game dev studio anywhere on the planet, I\u2019d either stick it on top of the Burj Khalifa or at the bottom of the Med, accessible only via submarine. Failing that, round the back of a warehouse named Bed World in Guildford would do.\nIt\u2019s precisely round the back of a warehouse named Bed World in Guildford that Ambient Studios is located. And it\u2019s here that the small team \u2013 comprised partly of ex-Lionhead, Criterion and Media Molecule developers \u2013 are hard at work on Death Inc., a strategy game about the Black Death. Chin up though, Ambient are doing a fine job of converting the appalling death of some two-hundred million human beings into a beguiling and cheery strategy game, one that boasts a clean control scheme, a visual motif to die for and a deceptively deep pool of tactics to wrap your head around.\nAmbient are also clambering aboard the Kickstarter wagon to help secure funding for Death Inc. We ventured south to Ambient HQ to take an early peek at Death Inc. and aim the question gun at Creative Director Daniel Leaver and Design Lead Mike Green. In Part 1 of our interview, we discuss strategy, the origins of the project and Ambient\u2019s key influences from the genre.\nHow did Death Inc. come about?\nDaniel Leaver: Death Inc. began as an idea: \u2018wouldn\u2019t it be cool if you could play a game where you played as the zombies?\u2019 But we knew, pretty much straight away within the same breath, that we didn\u2019t want to use zombies.\nMike Green: We didn\u2019t want to use zombies and we didn\u2019t want to use that apocalyptic setting that\u2019s been done to death now.\nDaniel Leaver: We always knew it would be a strategy game because to control a horde you couldn\u2019t have a third-person perspective. They\u2019ve been done but I don\u2019t think they\u2019re as effective as the top-down isometric proper strategy game.\nThe game\u2019s set in Medieval England, which is a relatively untouched time period as far as games are concerned. What informed the decision to set it in that period?\nMike Green: When we were first trying to think of what else it could be \u2013 we went through loads of different iterations, things like little computer people in an electronic world \u2013 Tim and John the art guys here had a Eureka moment of \u2018we could set it in Medieval times, it\u2019s the Black Death\u2019. We sat there going \u2018yeah that\u2019s okay, that\u2019s cool, it hasn\u2019t been done before\u2019 and then we struck upon the idea that actually you were playing as the Grim Reaper.\nDaniel Leaver: I love re-imagining the past. I love any game that takes something that happened and puts a spin on it. Even something like Resistance: Fall of Man, I loved the idea of taking World War Two and making it about aliens. It\u2019s really cool because our history gives us so much to feed upon, we\u2019ve got plague rats, nobles and bishops and that kind of stuff.\nYou\u2019ve taken something dark and turned it on its head. It\u2019s a funny game with a cheery outlook, yet it\u2019s a game about the appalling death of millions\u2026\nDaniel Leaver: It has to happen as part of tackling a dark subject unless you really want to put a lot of people off. In the end, there are some games which are really dark and moody and gritty and they\u2019re great, but at the same time you can\u2019t feel like you could show it to your kids, for instance, and we want to feel like we can show this to everybody. Putting that kind of humorous spin on something as dark as the Black Death is a necessary thing to do. We haven\u2019t tempered our creative vision it\u2019s still a game about killing people in the 17th century with the Black Death and yet it\u2019s funny.\nHow much humour are you hoping to have in there?\nMike Green: I\u2019d like to inject as much as we can and I think we\u2019re definitely going to get that with some of the things that happen through the sandbox nature of the levels and some of the cool things you can use, catapults flinging your infected over walls and stuff like that, so I think there\u2019ll be that side of things. Going into the meta-game we\u2019re building, which is in the office, I think there\u2019s a lot of visual humour we can put in.\nDaniel Leaver: There\u2019s going to be a certain level of dark humour in the game that, even though you\u2019ll laugh at it, you\u2019ll think \u2018that\u2019s bad\u2019. Like perhaps some of the villagers run and they\u2019ll fall over and if they hadn\u2019t had fallen over they\u2019d have been safe.\nSpeaking of fear, I think I noticed some archers bolting after their comrades had been defeated, is there an emphasis on playing with morale or using tactics to incite fear in your enemies?\nMike Green: Yeah, definitely. At the moment it\u2019s based on how many infected are running at them at one point in time, but I love the idea that you send in your infected and there\u2019s a point where a town just accepts that all hope is lost and they\u2019re all [animated screaming, then death noises] running for their lives.\nDaniel Leaver: One area I definitely want to see us put a lot of effort into is the morale of troops and it\u2019s not going to be like a morale bar, it\u2019s not going to be a counter that ticks down and they have unhappy faces. It\u2019s going to be simply, if they\u2019re facing too many of you some of them will break and run. It won\u2019t have to be explained to players, hopefully, that this is what happened. It\u2019ll be obvious. They\u2019ll be running and shouting.\nOne of the things I like to ask developers working on comical games is why they think there\u2019s so little humour in games?\nDaniel Leaver: It\u2019s really hard to do, and it\u2019s really subjective as well. So what\u2019s funny to English people isn\u2019t necessarily funny to American people and vice versa so really all we can promise is it\u2019ll be funny to us.\nMike Green: I think you\u2019ve hit upon a big point. I think a lot of it is down to the people that are driving a project. Ron Gilbert is a funny guy and I think that\u2019s going to naturally pass down to other people on the game, they\u2019ll feel like that\u2019s the kind of experience they\u2019re building. Certainly that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing here. We want it to be funny.\nIs there more room for that in a smaller, more-focused team?\nDaniel Leaver: Absolutely. I know that working in a small group is the best way to make games because I only need to turn to my right and speak to the designer and then turn to my left and speak to the animation guy and it\u2019s that kind of closeness that allows you to make really lovingly crafted games. I think as far as humour is concerned if we all share the same sense of humour, which I think we do, that\u2019ll definitely be seen in the game.\nYou\u2019ve got a team of eleven people, many of whom have worked on some of the more personable games of recent memory, the likes of LittleBigPlanet and Fable. Have elements of those games found their way into Death Inc.?\nMike Green: For me, a lot of the Fable games were built around Albion and that kind of British countryside theme, so that\u2019s definitely helped in imagining all the places we could go. And I think, from the MM side, that was always just a really fun game. There was lots of experimenting with gameplay and it\u2019s been a really nice collaboration.\nDaniel Leaver: We always had this idea of emergent gameplay, because the whole point of LittleBigPlanet was for it to be something very simple to approach that had lots of gameplay that unravels as you go \u2013 lots of physics based stuff, which is always funny because it\u2019s different every time, and lots of puzzles. Having worked at Media Molecule for six years I\u2019ve learned that if you give people a bit of creativity in how they approach something they\u2019ll love it ten times more. It gives them their own personal stamp on things.\nSo the buzzword for Death Inc. is streamlined strategy, what does that entail?\nDaniel Leaver: We prefer the term freehand, now. We don\u2019t want people to think there isn\u2019t strategy in it. We want it to be seen as freehand in that you have the flexibility to make some really intricate decisions and complex strategies, but without that control barrier.\nMike Green: I definitely find with games like StarCraft, especially when I\u2019m playing multiplayer \u2013 and I\u2019m shit at multiplayer \u2013 it often comes down to number of clicks per second. There\u2019s so much going on but in my head I know exactly what I want to do. I think that\u2019s the nice thing with our mechanic, you just paint it. You don\u2019t have to worry about all the multiple things you have to do in between. So streamlined is the wrong word I think.\nI think I\u2019m obliged to ask whether you\u2019re hoping to draw the attention of strategy veterans with the game?\nDaniel Leaver: Yes, definitely. We don\u2019t want to make it feel as though we\u2019re not catering to the hardcore strategy player by making a streamlined control mechanism. It certainly isn\u2019t a case of that. They will just be able to get into our game quicker and easier than they would another game and then they\u2019ll be able to use the same strategy mentality that they\u2019d use to win in other games.\nMike Green: I think the types of troops and enemies you\u2019re going to encounter should flip some gameplay on its head a little bit. You\u2019ll encounter a situation where you think, \u2018hey, I\u2019m going to do this thing again\u2019 but there\u2019ll be a troop in the way who does something that causes your plan to change or fail dismally.\nDaniel Leaver: Perhaps he\u2019s buffing the unit or curing the infected as you charge in so you can\u2019t use melee. That\u2019s where real strategy comes from I think, from looking at the different combination of units in front of you and knowing you can\u2019t use range, for example.\nYou\u2019ve confirmed there won\u2019t be any micromanagement in Death Inc. There are a lot of people that might argue that\u2019s intrinsic to the genre.\nDaniel Leaver: I\u2019ve played some games recently for various reasons, lots of different strategy games, and some of them have asked me to reference a Wikipedia page or an in-game manual to get those elements and I think if you have to ask someone to do further reading on a subject in a game you\u2019ve kind of missed the point a little bit. So what we\u2019d love to have with Death Inc. is, when you\u2019re playing the game, it\u2019s all very instantaneously satisfying and very visually clear what\u2019s going on, yet you\u2019ve got a separate meta-game where you can calm down and cool off a little bit and manage the business side of things. I\u2019m not a fan of micromanagement to the point where it gets in the way of you having fun with the game.\nSo if you had to pin down some influences from the strategy genre, what would you go for?\nDaniel Leaver: I love strategy games, I\u2019ve played Homeworld and Dawn of War 2 almost religiously. I love 40K. XCOM Enemy Unknown is amazing and I play a lot of Total War which I think is probably at the more complex end of most strategy experiences. But I also love tabletop war-gaming, so I get a lot of the turn-based strategy from that kind of area.\nMike Green: I play a lot of Total War and StarCraft, Age of Empires. I don\u2019t play tabletop war-games but I should! We play a lot of board games here.\nDaniel Leaver: There is a game called Incubation, which is a turn-based game, and my favourite aspect of turn-based is the idea that it\u2019s not about reaction times, it is purely about your ability to out-think your opponent. It\u2019s not this, \u2018ah, I didn\u2019t click this button quick enough, or I didn\u2019t retire this unit quick enough\u2019. It is purely about, \u2018okay, I can see him going this way, so if I move my units to this side I can catch him in the crossfire\u2019. There\u2019s something incredibly satisfying about out-thinking someone.\nYou\u2019re targeting a September/October realistic, how realistic is that. There have been a few Kickstarters recently that have slipped recently.\nDaniel Leaver: There are two types of slippages. There\u2019s one where you\u2019ve got the game to a point where it\u2019s 90% complete and you know that last 10% will basically double how amazing it is, and that\u2019s a slippage for a really good reason. If you think, \u2018I know if we release this now it\u2019s an 8/10, I know we can make it a 10 we just need two more months\u2019.\nMike Green: One of the things we want to do is release an alpha and a beta as early as we can so there\u2019ll be something out there the second we feel we can get people to test it out, or play a couple of levels. It\u2019s going to be good that we can get feedback before the game is actually released. Quite often you slog away at a game for years and years and years and it doesn\u2019t matter how many people Microsoft have put in front of a camera to test the game, until it\u2019s out in the public you just have no idea.",

        "raw_content": "Back after a two-day break. Family members, who are now aware of the strict writing discipline I am trying to enforce weekday mornings, asked if I was going to continue the program through the weekend. I indignantly replied that I deserved a break, but then I came across this from a writer via Andrew Sullivan at the Daily Dish.\nThe No. 1 question I get at readings is: \u201cHow many hours a day do you write?\u201d I used to stumble on this question. I don\u2019t write every day, but when I first started going on book tours I was afraid I\u2019d be revealed as a true fraud if I admitted that. Sometimes I write for 20 minutes. Other times I don\u2019t stop writing for six hours, falling over at the end like an emotional, wrung-out mess, simultaneously exhausted and exhilarated. Sometimes I go months without putting a word on the page.\nOne night, however, I was asked that question and the right answer just popped out, unknown to me before it found solidity on the air: \u201cI write every waking minute,\u201d I said. I meant, of course, that I am always writing in my head.\nThis, of course, freaked the insecure writer in me out! I certainly don\u2019t write like that, though there are moments during the day when I do get inspired by something I read or see. And, as I mentioned before, walks with the dog do wonders in recharging the imagination. But I approach writing as a job that I do for a few hours each day, not as a raison d\u2019etre. Perhaps every writer approaches their task in a different way. What\u2019s yours?\nThe problem with having been an editor for a while is that I am always looking to construct perfect sentences and have the logic and chronology of the story all figured out before I put pen to paper(or cursor to computer). My sense is that this is probably not the way I should be doing it, because it really slows me down.\nFor instance, one of my characters needs to have been very ill with a modern disease that requires intensive treatment in a hospital. What is this disease going to be? Why can\u2019t it be fixed in a private clinic? The Freedom software that I\u2019ve installed prevents me from doing the research right away, so I will have to use a place holder illness and simply move the plot along. I\u2019m finding that difficult to do, though common sense tells me that it is not a big deal to rewrite if the real illness I use later turns out to have different complications. Or I could even create a disease out of whole cloth. But the urge to get it right the first time is very strong!\nAnother issue that bugged me was that I realized each of the first three paragraphs of my fourth chapter began with the word \u201cWhen.\u201d This is an absolute no-no for the editor brain, though I know that this can be easily changed during a redraft. I tried to let it go, but it nagged me so much that I ended up fixing it before I moved on, though there were plot ideas that were fizzing in my brain, waiting to be released.\nToday\u2019s target: Finish Chapter 4. When I began writing this chapter, it was only supposed to be a little background to where the heroine came from, but a new character forced himself in and demanded to be fleshed out. I remember an interview given by Chitra Bannerjee Divakaruni where she said that when she begins writing she feels a god-like spirit channeling through her, putting words on the page. (I\u2019m paraphrasing here, sorry Chitra). I am beginning to understand what she means, though my muse appears to be far less benign!\nIf a character muscles his or her way into the story, stand aside and let it happen.\nSome people have the luxury of being able to write 8 hours a day. The rest of us? As much as we can when we can and as we can.\nAnd oh, yeah, don\u2019t let your inner editor bother you too much just yet. Tell her to go read a book and you\u2019ll call her when she\u2019s needed. \ud83d\ude00\nmalini patel December 11, 2012 at 7:51 pm\nI\u2019m loving the \u201cWriting a Novel\u201d itself can\u2019t wait to read the book. \ud83d\ude09 \ud83d\ude09\nI\u2019m with you, Malini! I\u2019m enjoying the blog entries tremendously, and for me, it\u2019s a nice reminder that someone else is writing a novel.\nSo Vidya, thank you for this blog. It\u2019s helping me stay focused, too. And now \u2026 back to work while I\u2019m at my writers\u2019 work group!",

The Wizards won 125-118. (AP Photo/Nick Wass)\nWASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 There has been a lot of negativity around the struggling Washington Wizards in recent days. When they fell behind the Los Angeles Clippers by 24 points midway in the second quarter, the Wizards didn't fall apart again. Instead, they rallied for their biggest win of the season.\nJohn Wall scored 30 points, Bradley Beal had 27 and Jeff Green added 20 as Washington wore down the Clippers 125-118 on Tuesday night.\nAmid a 5-11 start, there were reports the team would listen to trade offers for All-Star guards Wall and Beal, and talk of a nasty practice last week with Wall yelling at coach Scott Brooks and being fined for disrespectful behavior.\n\"It happened. We talked about it, we moved on,\" Brooks said. \"I'm not here to throw anything in anybody's face.\"\nWall, Beal and Green each scored 10 in the fourth quarter as Washington outscored Los Angeles 39-23 to pull out the win.\n\"We've still got a lot of stuff to fix,\" Beal said. \"I'm still not happy. I know everybody's not happy with where we are.\"\nThe Wizards cut the Clippers lead to 95-86 after three quarters and took a 115-113 lead on Wall's layup with 2:33 to play.\nTobias Harris scored a season-high 29 points, Montrezl Harrell had 20, and Lou Williams and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander each added 17 for the Clippers, who had won five straight. Williams was ejected with 34.5 seconds to play.\n\"You have a team, you can see they're wounded, and I really thought we had a chance to be up 30 at halftime,\" Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers said. \"And you can just see it we kind of got the lead, kind of turned down the energy.\"\nClippers: C Luc Mbah a Moute missed his 12th straight game with a sore left knee. ... Rivers said it wasn't a problem to face his son, Austin, who was traded from Los Angeles to Washington in the offseason. \"We should have that one down tonight,\" Rivers said. \"If we mess that one up, I'm going to go off on the whole team.\" The Clippers held Austin Rivers to two points. ... G Tyrone Wallace left the court after a violent collision with Beal late in the third quarter. Wallace held a towel over his left eye as he departed, but Rivers said he had tested negatively for a concussion.\nWizards: C Dwight Howard was out with a glute injury. Howard missed the season's first seven games with the injury. Thomas Bryant received his first NBA start and scored seven points in 19 minutes. ... F Kelly Oubre, Jr. started in place of Markieff Morris. It was the first time Morris came off the bench since Feb. 28, 2016. Oubre committed five fouls in 12 minutes.\nWILLIAMS TOSSED\nWilliams, who Rivers said was subpar because of illness was ejected after being assessed a technical foul. Generally, two technical warrant ejection.\n\"I felt like we were playing through a lot of contact and I didn't think that Washington was playing through a lot of contact, and I wanted a real answer why that was,\" Williams said.\nTOUGH WALL\nBrooks defended Wall from talk that he was soft and slow.\n\"John, he's been taking hits,\" Brooks said. \"You hear all the reports, he's heavy. He has seven percent body fat.He hasn't played well. None of us have.\"\nBrooks said that Wall suffered a bruised thigh in the season's second game, and played through it for several games. \"He didn't say one word, and I wasn't going to say it,\" Brooks said.\nWall had little to say about the tenor of the team after the game.\n\"It's cool,\" he said. \"It's a good start.\"\nClippers: Host Memphis on Friday.\nWizards: Visit Toronto on Friday.",

For more than half a century, Fountain loomed large over the city's cultural landscape, from music to Mardi Gras to Bourbon Street. Pete\u2019s clarinet tone instantly evoked New Orleans. His most famous recordings included \u201cJust a Closer Walk With Thee\u201d and \u201cBasin Street Blues\u201d, and at least three of his dozens of albums sold more than a half-million copies apiece. Pete represented Dixieland jazz on an international stage, and performed for four Presidents and a Pope. He hung out with everyone from Louis Armstrong to Dolly Parton to Hank Williams Jr. and was the unofficial ambassador of good-time New Orleans jazz. His greatest friendly rivalry was with trumpeter Al Hirt, whose club was down the street from Fountain's. They stole musicians from each other, and sometimes came into each other's clubs and played together. They were good friends who came up together and later recorded several albums together.Fountain was a founder and the most prominent member of the Half-Fast Walking Club, one of the best known freelance marching units that parade in New Orleans on Mardi Gras Day. Pierre Dewey Fountain, Jr. was born March 3, 1930 and died peacefully on August 6, 2016. \u201cThe Gospel According to New Orleans\u201d, my collection of iconic New Orleans musicians, commemorates their role in the evolution of the eccentric culture and music traditions of New Orleans.

Both women \u2013 Ilhan Omar, 37, and Rashida Tlaib, 42 \u2013 are Democrats from the Midwest and outspoken advocates of minority communities that have found themselves in the sights of US President Donald Trump\u2019s anti-immigrant policies.\nOmar won a House seat in a strongly Democratic district in Minneapolis, Minnesota, succeeding Keith Ellison who was himself the first Muslim ever elected to Congress. Tlaib\u2019s victory was no surprise. She ran unopposed in a congressional district that stretches from Detroit to Dearborn, Michigan. Their stories trace a similar trail-blazing rise through local politics.\n\u201cI\u2019m Muslim and black,\u201d the hijab-wearing Omar said in a recent magazine interview.\nHer family settled in Minnesota in 1997, where there is a sizable Somali population. She won a seat in the state\u2019s legislature in 2016, becoming the first Somali-American lawmaker in the country.\nShe decided to run for Congress after Ellison, who is also black, decided to give up his seat after 12 years in Congress to run for attorney general of Minnesota. Omar has forged a progressive political identity. She supports free college education, housing for all, and criminal justice reform.\nRashida Tlaib is the Detroit-born daughter of Palestinian immigrants, the eldest of 14 children. An activist who once heckled US President Donald Trump during a 2016 campaign stop in Detroit, she says she didn\u2019t run to make history as Muslim.\n\u201cI ran because of injustices and because of my boys, who are questioning their (Muslim) identity and whether they belong,\u201d Tlaib said in an US television interview in August. \u201cI\u2019ve never been one to stand on the sidelines.\u201d\nWith no Republican challenger in the race, Tlaib\u2019s election on Tuesday became a formality. The seat she won is in a predominantly African American congressional district with few Muslim voters. She says her constituents were attracted to her progressive politics, which are the polar opposite of Republicans.\nShe also has been mindful of the historic nature of her candidacy. During her tearful primary election victory speech in August, with her immigrant mother by her side, she said relatives in the West Bank were watching her success.\nPreviousNaureen Akhter: An accidental career in politics\nNextMilwaukee Streetcar opens new transportation option for Muslims working downtown",

Once the Netherlands' largest church, dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours, it is one of the country's two pre-Reformation cathedrals, along with the cathedral in Middelburg, Zeeland. It has been a Protestant church since 1580. The building is the one church in the Netherlands that closely resembles the style of classic Gothic architecture as developed in France. All other Gothic churches in the Netherlands belong to one of the many regional variants. Unlike most of its French predecessors, the building has only one tower, the 112-metre-high (367 ft) Dom Tower, which is the hallmark of the city.\nIn 1674 the central portion of the cathedral with the nave collapsed in a storm, a tornado ripped through Utrecht causing many to die and split the cathedral in two. It has never been rebuilt, leaving the tower now isolated from the east end.\nThis page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/St._Martin's_Cathedral,_Utrecht\nUtrecht (/\u02c8ju\u02d0tr\u025bkt/; Dutch pronunciation: [\u02c8ytr\u025bxt]) is the capital and most populous city in the Dutch province of Utrecht.

It has been the religious centre of the Netherlands since the 8th century. It lost the status of prince-bishopric but remains the main religious center in the country. Utrecht was the most important city in the Netherlands until the Dutch Golden Age, when it was succeeded by Amsterdam as the country's cultural centre and most populous city.\nUtrecht is host to Utrecht University, the largest university in the Netherlands, as well as several other institutes for higher education. Due to its central position within the country, it is an important transport hub for both rail and road transport. It has the second highest number of cultural events in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam.

        "raw_content": "One Teen\u2019s Mission to Change the World\nSaturday, September 4th, 2010:\n\u201cWell, here\u2019s my first blog. It\u2019s pretty late at night, but I feel like there\u2019s always a time to talk about fashion. No matter if you\u2019re walking the streets at 5 am, or shopping (of course), no matter what, fashion is always surrounding you. It\u2019s pretty amazing.\u201d\nI wrote my first blog post when I was 12. I didn\u2019t know what a blog was, but it all started with this idea that I could help other young girls overcome insecurities through voicing my relatable life experiences. If my blog enabled one or two girls to feel more confident, I would have succeeded. I never anticipated being able to reach thousands.\nI typed in blogger.com, and up came a platform to create your own website. \u201cA Life in the Fashion Lane\u201d came to me, and I decided to name the site alifeinthefashionlane.blogspot.com. I wrote for about an hour and eventually clicked publish. As easy as it would\u2019ve been for my blog to turn into a one-day fad, I woke up with a burning desire every day to write a new post.\nIf you ask me whether I grew up wealthy or poor, I\u2019d lean more towards poor than wealthy. My parents work hard: My mom is a nurse and my dad is a sales rep. They\u2019re average parents. I didn\u2019t want to grow up bored, or be someone who would come home and resent his or her career. How many people have you met in your life so far that simply aren\u2019t happy? Rarely do we meet people who aren\u2019t waking up every day thinking of how they\u2019re going to afford the groceries tomorrow or pay the rent.\nI started blogging daily, trying to write and pass the classes I was doomed to fail. The first seven followers of my blog were the most exciting moment of my life. For a full year, I kept photographing and writing, because I knew this blog was my only outlet. The bullying I endured through school was rough. If I wasn\u2019t being called a freak (I had an outgoing sense of fashion), I was being called a nerd (which was nowhere near true because I spent most of my day trying to not fail out)!\nWhen I turned 14, I came across the word \u201cPR\u201d and realized publicists were the people I needed to get in touch with. On a snowy winter day when I was stuck home with the flu (and just looking for an excuse to skip school), I looked up \u201cPR BCBG\u201d and came across a woman named Lalena. Lalena was the woman who put on the BCBG runway show. I sent her an email, explaining my desire to attend Fashion Week. Known for being one of the most exclusive events in the fashion industry, it was something I knew I had to go to. But how would I attend a show when I knew absolutely no one?\nAll of my emails began with \u201cHi! I\u2019m a 14-year-old blogger. I\u2019m trying to inspire girls to follow their dreams, and I\u2019d love to attend your Fashion Week show!\u201d Lalena emailed me back within the hour, inviting me to the runway show in February. And guess what? She wasn\u2019t even going to charge me!\nI brought up attending Fashion Week to my parents, and they were against the idea. My mom despises the fashion industry, since all she sees are the anorexic models that grace the covers of Vogue and W. They said no. I cried. I ran upstairs, slammed my door, and bought a bus ticket on a prepaid gift card my uncle sent me for Christmas. That\u2019s right, Mom and Dad, I\u2019m not the girl who accepts no as an answer. When they found out I went (and hitched a ride to the bus stop), they weren\u2019t exactly smiling with glee.\nFashion Week gave my blog some needed publicity. I began to grow my LinkedIn profile, accepting each connection as it came. Managing social media wasn\u2019t an area I thought I was interested in, until a woman with a small glove-wear company out of Los Angeles messaged me. She asked me if I wanted to take over social media for her company. She would pay me $50 per week for about four hours of work. I began working for her one week later, researching how to build a brand around Twitter and Facebook. I slowly taught myself how to use platforms like Hootsuite, so I could have posts scheduled during the school day, or if I wanted time off on the weekend to catch up on homework. When media didn\u2019t reply within two days, I would follow up until I got a reply. Frequently, the reply was a \u201cNo, we aren\u2019t interested, but keep in touch!\u201d which lit up my face. Most people wouldn\u2019t take no as a gateway to a yes, but knowing that the editor of Teen Vogue had seen my name in their mailbox forced me to keep pushing. I was hooked.\nOver the past five years, I have built a brand based on the platform of a dream. At 14, I was managing ten social-media clients, as well as my own website. I was forced to ignore the bullying and my sinking grades. I wanted to give young girls a reason to wake up each day and fall in love with who they are, something I struggled with daily.\nI\u2019ve been asked how I\u2019ve come from nothing and made myself something. Over a year ago, I moved out of my small Connecticut condo, away from my family and friends, to Manhattan. I didn\u2019t even have $500 in my bank account, and I hadn\u2019t finished high school.\nFast-forward to today: I recently turned 19 and my company is an LLC, with an intern and an assistant following me around.\nIt was during these moments that I realized an insecure, sheltered teenage girl could take over the world.\nAbout the Author | Alexa Curtis\nAlexa Curtis is a young adult influencer and motivational speaker, who is a true success story.

        "raw_content": "Open research data is key to open science\nby Caroline Ingram\nwonkhe-caroline-ingram\nDr Caroline Ingram is a Senior co-design manager at Jisc.\n\u2018The evidence for the benefits of sharing research data is overwhelming\u2019 \u2013 the words of Ian Hrynaszkiewicz, Head of Data Publishing at Springer Nature, in his Wonkhe blog last month. It\u2019s a powerful statement, and one that will likely be echoing around the halls of Westminster after the recent hearing of the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee on Research Integrity.\nSharing data, methods, and software can all support research integrity by ensuring research can be reproduced and by creating transparency. Being able to verify and build on research results can help accelerate research and science at scale, but in order to make this possible there has to be access to data, for reuse \u2013 and the road towards open access can be full of hurdles.\nThis year\u2019s Open Access Week brought the focus firmly back to why the movement is critical to international research and collaboration with the theme \u2018Open in order to\u2026\u2019 But what is it that we\u2019re setting out to achieve?\nAt Jisc it\u2019s a theme which informs our work on a daily basis \u2013 we support our member universities and research institutes with a range of solutions to ensure the move towards open research data and open access to publications is achievable, and meets policy requirements. Open science is the goal on the horizon but to get there and play a part in the government\u2019s plans for a flourishing research economy, we have to delve into the details, and the data.\nReuse of data can drive innovation \u2013 exactly what\u2019s being called for in the UK industrial strategy and the Higher Education and Research Act \u2013 so what is stopping this process at present?\nFor starters, there\u2019s an issue with interoperability \u2013 in other words, can the various bits of technical infrastructure talk to one another? It\u2019s a well-known problem between primary and secondary care providers in the NHS, but perhaps less commonly envisaged as a problem for those clever folk in academia.\nSecondary use, or analysis, of datasets means previously created data can be used for new projects. But without associated documentation, code, methods, or software, data may have little value. A lack of supplementary information alongside datasets can make them difficult to reuse singly or in combination with other data. Since data is usually collected with a particular research question in mind, reuse is rarely considered.\nOther barriers to reuse of open data include a lack of licensing and provenance information; a lack of metadata (making it hard to search for useful datasets) and a lack of awareness among researchers of where to find open datasets. Researchers are also concerned that they may lose their competitive advantage if they share their data for use, reuse, or combination with other data.\nThe Science and Technology Committee hearing into research integrity considered the \u2018crisis in reproducibility\u2019 and how fraud can be stamped out. As Borgman reported earlier this year, reproducibility is often cited as a key reason to share data, in which case data will need to be routinely made open with its associated documentation, code, and software\u2026 whatever is needed to verify the results using the same methods. We still need to develop a better understanding of what prevents researchers (and their institutions) from adopting open practices so that interventions can be targeted successfully.\nThe Open Research Data Taskforce is developing a road map for the UK to meet the aspirations of the Concordat on Open Research Data , but should this go further given the concerns of the inquiry into research integrity?\nIn part what\u2019s needed are the technological platforms that support research workflows, but, alongside the nuts and bolts, there are of course policy, cultural and skills issues to be tackled before we can see open research data as business as usual for the research community (and their collaborators outside of academia). Changes take time, and the policy framework has to be right in order to drive forward the infrastructure solutions, and the funding, to a sector that aims to support modern research but is having to balance a number of pressures from government and changes.\nMeeting open research data aspirations requires services and tools so it is easy for a researcher to store, access and reuse data. This requires curation, storage and access services and technical infrastructure. At Jisc, we are currently working with 17 higher education institutions to develop a shared service solution with a good user experience and cost efficiencies built in. This Research Data Shared Service aims to smooth the path towards efficient research data management. This will facilitate open access to research data, in a sustainable way, and with the necessary archiving and preservation of datasets. Working collaboratively optimises the development a sustainable solution in what is a new area of responsibility for universities.\nOpen science is not a lofty goal, but our universities and research institutions are at different stages along the road to producing open research data. Fortunately the sector is keen to share their knowledge to support others and there is a huge wealth of open access good practice to draw upon.\nWithout Government and the public research funding bodies also taking responsibility for ensuring that good practice is embedded in policy, how can we incentivise the behaviours and create a data environment conducive to open research?\nThe inquiring society will benefit from open science \u2013 but we need inquiring minds right now, to make sure we get this right.",

I\u2019ve worked many different jobs in my life, including making cigarettes in a factory and selling vegetables. I have lived alone all of my life until I adopted my daughter. The happiest moment in my life was when we received this World Housing home.\nBefore, we lived in a wooden rental room for $15 USD. I felt so happy when we moved away from there and into the new World Housing home. There is nothing to compare with this feeling. Life is easier now than before. I like everything in this home including the cooking and sleeping materials. The neighbours here are so kind and always help us. We never argue with the neighbours.\nIf there was no World Housing, life would be so difficult. With the support that we get, we can now pay for food.",

        "raw_content": "Differences Between Outlook For Windows 10 And OS X Show A Clear Winner\nMicrosoft's Outlook program has been a mainstay for personal and office planning and e-mail operations for decades now. The latest versions of the program works for both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. While checking out the new features of the program, one user was able to find some interesting programming differences between the two.\nFor those reading this and using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, consider restoring the browser window so it takes up less than full screen and then dragging the window in and out while trying to read this text. If this website has been programmed for responsiveness, you'll notice the text and some of the elements on the page moving around, resizing and sometimes disappearing on the fly to better fit the shape of the window. (If this site doesn't seem to be working, go ahead and browse to Facebook.com, which is known for its clever web responsiveness).\nNowadays web responsiveness is pretty commonplace and practically an expectation of modern web design and programming. This preference has bled over to programs that use operating system windows as well, and Microsoft Office is no exception. As it turns out, however, Office's responsiveness works completely differently on Windows compared to Mac OS X, as detailed by this animated image.\nAs the image shows, the responsiveness on the Mac machine on the right operates in real time, while on the left, the Windows machine must wait for the user to stop dragging the window before any adjustments to the elements within are made. This is due to the Mac version of office using OS X's built in WebKit engine, which Windows 10 lacks. With the WebKit engine, programmers can call \"@media\" queries within the programming to tell the windows what to do as a window is being resized. Windows lacks this option and has to issue some sort of query after the fact.\nThis is significant for those who design programs for both of these huge operating systems and want to fully utilize the features of OS X. It could be a nice surprise for your users. For more information click here https://i.imgur.com/lTiiQKQ.gif.\nWindows Product Design",

I\u2019ll say it\u2019s time for a change, starting with scratching Greenpeace off your Christmas card list.\nEarlier there was the spectacle of Canada\u2019s national media, reflexively denouncing Ottawa\u2019s supposed inaction on greenhouse gases after U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled a surprise climate agreement with China in advance of Peru.\n\u201cOver to you, Mr. Prime Minister,\u201d chirped CBC anchor Wendy Mesley, joining other TV networks in falsely portraying the U.S. deal as a breakthrough.\nThis non-binding gesture soon produced many cartoons, one of which shows Obama stripped to his underwear in a poker game with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is surrounded by a pile of chips and an American flag.\nThe U.S.-China announcement served as a preview of Peru, where developing countries would again refuse any substantive restrictions on their fuel use. China graciously agreed to continue ramping up its world-leading greenhouse gas emissions until 2030, while lame-duck Obama pretended he could commit the U.S. to further reductions.\nBetween them, the U.S. and China account for about half of global human-caused carbon emissions. Due mostly to the surge from China and India, Canada\u2019s share has fallen from two per cent to 1.5, which should help put all those \u201ctar sands\u201d protests into perspective.\nDays later, Environment Canada released its latest national emission statistics, an event ignored by most media.\n\u201cBetween 2005 and 2012, total Canadian GHG emissions decreased by 5.1 per cent, while the economy grew by 10.6 per cent over the same period,\u201d the report states.\nB.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak joined the throngs who jetted to Lima. There she met officials from California and other U.S. states to re-announce their modest efforts to put a price on carbon emissions. TV anchors and other wide-eyed innocents might have been left with the mistaken impression that the huge U.S. petroleum industry is cutting back, when in fact it has grown enormously thanks to shale oil and gas production.\nAnd California continues to produce, by its own state government measure, the most carbon-intensive heavy crude in North America.\nOvershadowing all of this is the drop in the world price of oil, mainly the result of Saudi Arabia flooding the market in an effort to push competitors out of business. In the latest sign of the U.S. public\u2019s lack of interest in reducing emissions, sales of larger vehicles immediately spiked up as gasoline prices fell.\nI\u2019m still receiving criticism for a recent column in which I declared myself an \u201cagnostic\u201d on human-caused global warming. Agnostic means searcher, and my search has continued for real signs of climate change and its potential causes.\nOur glaciers are receding, no question, but the current trend started around the 1850s, when a sport utility vehicle had one horsepower in leather harness and B.C. was about to be declared a British colony.\nBut amid the noise, there is serious evidence being put forward that our province is undergoing a climate shift with major consequences.

        "title": "Giant Streaks Discovered in the Clouds Covering Venus",
        "raw_content": "Japanese scientists found massive streaks in the atmosphere of Venus by making use of Akatsuki and AFES-Venus.\nThe second planet from the Sun and Earth\u2019s \u2018sister\u2019 planet, Venus has been displaying rather odd behavior. Its surface is obscured by a thick layer of gases. While probes have been sent to the planet many-a-times, there\u2019s so much yet unknown about the planet. Unusual weather and odd patterned wind are nothing new for Venus. However, a Japanese research team has spotted two symmetrical giant streaks in the planet\u2019s atmosphere. One of them covers the Northern Hemisphere and the other mirrors it on the southern part of the planet. Both of these massive streaks are spread on a planetary scale.\n\u2018Akatsuki\u2019, a Japanese Venus Climate Orbiter, uses infrared cameras to look beyond the thick atmosphere. The cameras are capable of viewing the lower cloud levels in great detail. The data gathered by Akatsuki was used along with a simulation program named \u2018AFES-Venus\u2019. The software is capable of running a complex simulation of Venus\u2019 atmosphere. Another version of this program exists for the atmosphere on Earth. Both of them work similarly except for one difference which is based on the clarity of the atmosphere of each planet (Earth\u2019s atmosphere is clear compared to the cloudy one covering Venus). According to the data, the streaks are huge: stretching 10,000 kilometers across the sky while being hundreds of kilometers wide.\nHow did the Streaks Form?\nAlthough Earth shares a lot of its features, this phenomenon is totally limited to Venus. Ironically enough, the streaks can be explained using other atmospheric models of Earth. It seems the polar jet streams (tight wind jets caused by heat) along with atmospheric wind and pressure instabilities cause huge vortexes to be formed. Large-scale atmospheric flow patterns of Venus, caused by the planet\u2019s rotation, stretch these vortexes and causes them to appear as a long streaks.\nAkatsuki and Venus\nAkatsuki has been orbiting Venus since the end of 2015. During this phase, it has gathered data and made observations so we can know more about our \u201csister\u201d planet. Even before Venus\u2019 atmosphere was probed, AFES-Venus was used to run simulations about the atmosphere. The program uses a supercomputer system of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) to run these complex simulations. Before the launch of Akatsuki, the data used to create these simulations was rather inaccurate. Contrary to that, the data provided by the probe yields accurate results.\nSo far, scientists have been studying the atmosphere of Venus in two dimensions, East and West. This new discovery now allows them to view the planet\u2019s atmosphere in three dimensions. However, the explanation provided for these streaks may still be inaccurate as other numerous factors must be added to the equation. The data provided by Akatsuki is of great importance as the probe uses state-of-the-art technology to gather data about the eccentric planet. After all, Venus is the odd planet in our solar system. The team believes that they can reveal a lot more through further investigation. They said,\n\u201cWe need to understand these mechanisms to evaluate the robustness or sensitivity of the speculated formation mechanism presented here. However, we keep these further investigations for our future studies.\u201d\nThe Twin Planets\nEven though Venus is often referred to as the \u201csister\u201d planet of the Earth, both are different worlds in many ways. Despite the fact that both of them have striking similarities such as size, gravity, pressure, and temperatures at the core, Venus is not as comfortable to live on as Earth is. The Sulfuric acid atmosphere renders the planet inhabitable on the surface. However, things improve considerably as we move to the upper atmosphere. In fact, researchers believe there may be microbes living in the upper part of the atmosphere and this may explain the dark patches in the atmosphere of Venus. These patches indicate the existence of life by changing occasionally. Having said that, Venus still has a lot of information for humanity to find out.\nThe research carried out by the Japanese team can be translated into a \u201cleaps and bounds\u201d addition to the limited knowledge we possess about Venus. The puzzle of this planet may get solved pretty soon as even more complex simulations will be run in the future, with the hopes of unveiling whatever secrets there are below the thick atmosphere of the planet.\nAFES-Venus, Akatsuki, computer simulations, dark patches, earth, eccentric planet, Giant Streaks, Infrared, JAMSTEC, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, microbes, polar jet streams, simulation program, Sulfuric Acid, thick atmosphere, Venus, vortexes",

        "title": "Amy Adams Biography and Life Story",
        "raw_content": "Amy Adams Biography\nBorn Amy Lou Adams on August 20, 1975 at the U.S. military base located in Aviano, Italy to American parents Richard and Kathryn Adams as one of their seventh children, the Oscar-nominated American film and television actress was more than an exceptional beauty. Started her acting career in Hollywood movie industry from nothing, she really is an intelligent woman whose skills as an actress will only increase with time looking upon her becoming a sought after young performer. Clockwise from the early life of her, Amy was raised in Castle Rock, Colorado, as a result of her father's military career as to why the girl then attended Douglas County High School. Grew up in a Mormon family, a member of a religious organization formed in 1830 in the US, officially called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, the girl grew up finding out life was fun just like any other girls of her age.\nProbably inherited an interest in performing from her father who was an amateur actor as well, Amy should double her thanks to the man for it was him who wrote scripts for all to perform. Already had the skill as her main asset, she then performed dinner theater in Colorado following her high school graduation while also was taking the job as a waitress at Hooters for a short time.\nWhen reaching her early 20s, Amy decided to leave Colorado to head for Minnesota searching for more dinner theater projects and to her delight found ones in \"Brigadoon\" and \"Good News\" at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater. After studying dance and working in regional dinner theater, she landed her first film role in the satiric 1999 comedy \"Drop Dead Gorgeous,\" revealing at how far girls will go to win a teen beauty pageant. In that film, she played a cheerleader who enters a beauty contest in order to make her high school boyfriend wrestler happy. Upon urged by co-star Kirstie Alley, Amy then decided on a professional acting career, moved to Los Angeles and luckily didn't have to wait long for her next gig as she soon landed a part on a series called \"Manchester Prep,\" a prequel to the hit movie \"Cruel Intentions\" (1999).\nUnfortunately, the latter project was never aired as its network decided that the show's sexual content was too strong for television, although several episodes were eventually re-edited into a direct-to-video feature entitled \"Cruel Intentions 2\" (2000) following a conflict between Fox Broadcasting and Columbia TriStar after just three episodes were shot.\nSticking it out when the goings get tough, Amy was next seen made guest appearances on a number of television series, including that of \"That 70's Show\" (1998), and \"Charmed\" (1998), before then played a bikini-clad seductress in the independent comedy, \"Psycho Beach Party\" (2000). More episodic television then followed, including appearances on \"Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane\" (2000), \"Providence\" (1998-2003) and \"Buffy, The Vampire Slayer\" (1996-2003).\nIn between those projects, Amy was seen in an episode of \"Smallville\" before then was billed to star as the girlfriend of a greedy cattleman, played by Bruce Campbell, trying to cheat his wife, Elizabeth Hurley, out of a divorce settlement in \"Serving Sara\" (2002). A tiny role in \"Pumpkin\" (2002) was followed by her eye-catching performance in Steven Spielberg's \"Catch Me If You Can\", featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. Rounded out the year with a guest spot on the perennial political drama, \"The West Wing\" (1999-2006), the starlet afterwards starred in the not-so-successful feature, \"The Slaughter Rule,\" a bittersweet coming-of-age drama about a teenager, Ryan Gosling, cut from his high school football team, the only means of escape from his lonely rural existence.\nHowever, it was not until the year of 2004 that Amy's career started to rebound. Kicked off the year with a recurring role on CBS' \"Dr. Vegas\", which didn't bring quite significant impact to her acting career, Amy next voiced several characters on a couple episodes of FOX's \"King of the Hill\" before then made a return to big screen feature, playing the self-involved half-sister of a woman, Debra Messing, on a desperate search for the right man in the 2005 \"The Wedding Date\", which unfortunately failed to attract much attention for the star instead of a merely solid performance.\nThanks to her next film feature of \"Junebug\" that Amy could taste the fruit of her hard work. A humorous drama about a British diplomat's daughter who travels from Chicago to the rural hill country of North Carolina to pursue a local, self-taught painter for her outsider art gallery, she takes this road-trip opportunity to meet her husband George's family, who happens to live only 30 minutes away. There's his flinty, judgmental mother Peg, his dour, taciturn father Eugene and his sullen, resentful, twenty something brother Johnny who, although married, still lives at home, studying for his high school equivalency certificate. They're superficially hospitable but hardly welcoming, except Johnny's talkative, very pregnant wife Ashley who plans to name her baby \"Junebug,\" if it is a girl.\nDid it well in the Phil Morrison direction, Amy's role in the flick not only was considered the emotional focal point of the film, but most of all it led her to be bestowed a deluge of accolades, including that of the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, the National Society of Film Critics award for Best Supporting Actress, and the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Female. Additionally, she was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture too.\nThat's not all for the glory kept continuing ever since that in January of 2006 Amy was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the role. From that point on, the actress got abundant offer of roles, being tapped to star in \"Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby\" (2006) and \"Charlie Wilson's War\" (2007) as well as voicing Princess Giselle and 'Sweet' Polly Purebred in Disney's \"Enchanted\" and \"Underdog\", respectively, both came up in the same year as \"War\". More acting stints came by 2008 as she afterwards managed to secure core parts in \"Sunshine Cleaning\" alongside Emily Blunt and \"Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day\" opposite Susan Sarandon.",

        "title": "Los Angeles-Area Catholics And Muslims No Strangers To Dialogue | A Common Word Between Us and You",
        "raw_content": "Los Angeles-Area Catholics And Muslims No Strangers To Dialogue\nA recent forum at the Vatican designed to foster interfaith communication is the kind of thing local followers have been doing for years.\nWorld Roman Catholic and Muslim leaders made headlines this month when they met in a first-of-its-kind interfaith forum at the Vatican. Locally, some faithful saw the forum not as something new but as an affirmation of efforts they have been making for years.\nThe goal of the forum was to discuss commonalities between the two religions, focusing on theology, spirituality, human dignity and mutual respect. Twenty-nine leading religious clerics and theologians were present, including Pope Benedict XVI and Mustafa Ceric, grand mufti of Bosnia.\nThe result was a 15-point declaration that addressed several issues, such as the rights of religious minorities, gender equality and ethical financial systems for the poor. The first point, also the longest, basically summarized the tenets of each religion.\nThe forum, held Nov. 4-6, came two years after Benedict was widely criticized by Muslims for quoting a 14th century Byzantine emperor who said the prophet Muhammad had introduced \u201cthings only evil and inhuman.\u201d The pope later apologized, and the next year 138 Muslim clerics, theologians and academics sent an open letter to Christian leaders focusing on the commonalities between the faiths.\nIt was that letter that prompted this month\u2019s forum, said the Rt. Rev. Alexei Smith of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Smith, the director of ecumenical and inter-religious affairs for the archdiocese, said it was unclear how the meeting would affect local churches and mosques.\n\u201cCertainly in Los Angeles we have been at the forefront of inter-religious dialogue,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI think this is a great affirmation of what we\u2019ve been doing all along.\u201d\nThe forum could serve as an inspiration in areas where dialogue is not occurring or where believers sometimes feel unwelcome, such as for Muslims in Europe or Christians in Saudi Arabia, he said.\nSmith\u2019s sentiments on local interfaith efforts were echoed by Usman Madha, director of the King Fahad Mosque in Culver City.\nBefore the mosque was built in 1998, the permit process was drawn out because of opposition by some neighbors. But nearby St. Augustine Catholic Church held a special prayer session for the mosque to get the permits. The weekend after 9/11, Madha was invited to St. Augustine to speak about Islam at the Saturday Mass and all six Sunday Masses.\nKing Fahad Mosque is also part of a national \u201ctwinning\u201d campaign between mosques and synagogues to confront Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. Today the mosque will help kick off the campaign at Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills.\nBut Madha, too, recognized the importance of the meeting at the Vatican.\n\u201cIt may come across as a show, but these are the leaders, and they have to point the way,\u201d Madha said. \u201cLet\u2019s dwell on our commonalities, not our differences, and the Abrahamic faiths have a lot of similarities.\u201d\nOne benefit from the declaration is that Catholics will finally hear what they have wanted Muslims to say for a long time: a denunciation of terrorism and violence, Smith said. And because the declaration comes in part from the Vatican, Catholics may finally recognize that message.\nMuslims have denounced terrorism for years, \u201cbut seemingly very few people have heard it,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI think Muslims especially in the Los Angeles area have been saying it.\u201d\nAlthough religious leaders are, predictably, lauding the meeting, how will it affect average parishioners? Two local believers \u2014 one Catholic, one Muslim \u2013 offered some opinions.\n\u201cYou have to start at a grass-roots level and change the way people feel in small increments,\u201d said Vito DeBellis, who attends Holy Family Church in South Pasadena. \u201cYou can go top down, but you can also go bottom up, and I think you have to attack it at both ends.\u201d\nDeBellis, a retired violence intervention administrator with the Los Angeles Unified School District, has recently become involved in inter-religious activities through the archdiocese.\nDeBellis, 60, said people are more comfortable when things are black and white, whereas interfaith efforts are about creating a gray area where religions can come together. It\u2019s not religious tolerance, he said, but the acceptance that, in the end, the religions believe in the same God and the same destiny.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the acceptance of gray as a legitimate color \u2014 it\u2019s not dirty white, it\u2019s the acceptance of gray,\u201d he said.\nAcceptance is a big theme for DeBellis. He wants Muslims to know that not all Catholics are entrenched in dogma and rituals and that they are open to learning about other religions. And he wants to know what Muslims think of Catholics.\n\u201cDo they believe others are infidels? You know you hear that word. Do they view other people as sinful?\u201d he wondered. \u201cI\u2019d hope to hear, \u2018You know what, yeah, we believe something different, but in the end it\u2019s small potatoes. Bottom line, we believe in a powerful all-loving, forgiving God.\u2019 \u201d\nA few miles away, in West Los Angeles, Mohammad Sabah said things that would have reassured DeBellis.\n\u201cWhat I would like to do is bring out the common ground that I see, like Islam is not anything different \u2014 it\u2019s just a continuation of what came before,\u201d he said. \u201cI just want to bring it out that Islam is not something new.\u201d\nSabah, 30, a software engineer for a media company, liked the idea of the Vatican forum and said not enough of these initiatives take place. He has never taken part in any formal interfaith event, saying he is more interested in the practical, everyday discussions that spring up and can lead to better understanding.\nHe recalled the time a colleague, who had spent a few years in Saudi Arabia, asked why women there can\u2019t drive. Sabah described the difference between culture and religion (the ban is cultural), and then explained about women\u2019s rights in Islam, something often misconstrued in the West.\nThat kind of direct dialogue is preferable to silence, he said, because prejudices can be directly addressed and changed. It\u2019s about exchanging ideas, not proselytizing.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not about changing or shaking\u201d your faith, he said. \u201cIt\u2019s about learning more.\u201d\nAbdulrahim is a Times staff writer.",

The core financiers are AFC, the African Development Bank (AfDB), FMO, BOAD \u2013(Banque Ouest Africaine de Developpement), EBID-(Ecowas Bank for Investment &amp; Development) and the Pan African Infrastructure Development Fund. AFC was the mandated lead arranger of the junior tranche of the financing and provided an aggregate commitment of EURO 40 million comprising commitments to the senior and junior loan facilities, and an equity investment. Once completed, the new toll bridge is expected to reduce transportation costs by easing congestion over the existing two (non-tolled) bridges crossing the lagoon within the city. It is being constructed by the key project sponsor - Bouygues Group, under a turnkey fixed price arrangement. The Government of C\u00f4te D\u2019Ivoire has provided a 30 year concession.\nThe Euromoney Project Finance Magazine Deals of the Year Awards established over 14 years ago, are given for innovation, deal replication, best practice, problem solving, risk mitigation and speed of delivery in infrastructure financing. The project was deemed to have exceeded all the requisite criteria. During the award gala held in London, the project's sponsor and core financiers accepted the prestigious award, with special recognition given for the innovative nature of the project, the tenacity of the lead sponsor \u2013 Bouygues Group in developing the project, from inception to financial close, over 14 years (during and post civil conflict in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire), and the commitment of the core financing team.\nThe President and Chief Executive Officer AFC, Andrew Alli, said: \"We are delighted to receive this recognition of our innovation, speed and efficacy in delivering core financing to this project, and we are pleased to share this award with Bouygues Group, our financial and legal partners, without whom this critical project could not have been realised\u201d.\nAFC \u2013 3a Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria \u2013 Tel. +234 1 279 9600 \u2013 www.africafc.org\nAFC is an African-led international financial institution, established in 2007 whose mission is to improve African economies by proactively developing and financing infrastructure, industrial and financial assets.

        "raw_content": "Government Opens Temporarily as Longest Shutdown in History Ends\nThe 35-day partial government shutdown ended on January 25, 2019, after President Trump announced a deal with congressional leaders to reopen the government for three weeks during which time a conference committee would negotiate the homeland security provisions of the fiscal year (FY) 2019 appropriations - the legislation that funds border security.\nCongress quickly passed a continuing resolution on the same day the deal was announced to fund until February 15 agencies that had been shuttered since December 22. The legislation did not include funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. Disagreement between the President and Congress on border wall funding had prompted the government shutdown.\n\u201cThis is an opportunity for all parties to work together for the benefit of our whole beautiful, wonderful nation,\u201d said the President. He added, \u201cIf we don\u2019t get a fair deal from Congress, the government will either shut down on February 15th, again, or I will use the powers afforded to me under the laws and the Constitution of the United States to address this emergency,\u201d alluding to declaring a disaster in order to make funding available for the border wall.\nCongressional appropriators on the conference committee have initiated talks over appropriations and border security and are hopeful that a deal will be reached before the 3-week deadline. \u201cExcept for Homeland Security, we are very close to agreement on the six appropriations bills. While we have some differences on disaster relief and recovery, I believe we can come to a speedy agreement there, as well,\u201d said House Appropriations Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-NY). An agreement on Homeland Security funding is yet to be reached, with Democratic lawmakers insisting on not allocating any funding for the border wall. E&E News reported that Senate Republicans favor a combination of physical barriers, more security personnel, and expanded technology.\nAlthough, the President has ensured that all federal workers will receive their back pay \u201cvery quickly or as soon as possible,\u201d the shutdown is expected to have long term impacts on the operations of the agencies that were shuttered for more than a month. Research agencies, such as the National Science Foundation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, will need to spend significant effort in resuming operations and catching up on the work they were unable to perform during the course of the shutdown. At NSF, this includes processing frozen award transactions and scheduling more than a hundred review panels that were suspended as a result of the shutdown.\nIn January, AIBS issued a statement expressing concern for the long-term impacts of the shutdown and urging that the government be funded. AIBS also endorsed the call from a large coalition of scientific societies and universities that urged the President and Congress to end the government shutdown and provide $8.175 billion to NSF for FY 2019. Read the letter from the Coalition for National Science Funding here: https://cnsf.us/statements/CNSFPartialGovernmentShutdownLetter_1.23.19.pdf\nReport Details Attacks on Federal Science, Urges Congressional Oversight\nA new report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) asserts that the Trump Administration has sidelined science when making critical decisions. The report details an extensive list of instances where science was undermined in the first two years of the Administration. The report, \u201cThe State of Science in the Trump Era,\u201d urges Congress to investigate such policies and decisions and pass legislation to reinforce the role of science at federal agencies.\nUCS lists 80 examples of \u201cattacks on science\u201d across agencies, ranging from censorship of scientific findings, sidelining science advisory committees, restricting conference attendance, and halting, editing, or suppressing studies. A significant proportion of the listed incidents occurred at the Environmental Protection Agency.\n\u201cThe administration is trying to accomplish its goals by pushing science out of the process,\u201d said Jacob Carter, lead author on the report and a research scientist at UCS. \u201cScience is being silenced, in a truly unprecedented way \u2014 and we\u2019re all paying the cost.\u201d\nThe report offers detailed recommendations for Congress to use its oversight powers to ensure that policy decisions are supported by scientific evidence and urges lawmakers to investigate the possibility of \u201cinappropriate corporate influence\u201d. \u201cFor the first time in two years, we could see some meaningful checks and balances in Washington,\u201d said Carter, referring to Democrats taking control of the House of Representatives after the 2018 midterm elections. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of damage to undo, but we have a roadmap to get there.\u201d\nInvitation: Meeting and Workshop on Biological Collections\nThe National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is organizing a public meeting of the Committee on Biological Collections: Their Past, Present, and Future Contributions and Options for Sustaining Them. The meeting is intended to examine history and value of biological collections in research and education.

The meeting will also be available via webcast.\nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/biological-collections-their-past-present-and-future-contributions-and-options-for-sustaining-them-tickets-55657594363\nNASEM Convenes Panel on Safeguarding U.S. Bioeconomy\nThe National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) has convened an ad hoc committee to consider strategies for safeguarding and sustaining the bioeconomy, defined as the economic activity driven by research and innovation in the life sciences.\nThe committee has been tasked with outlining the landscape of the U.S. bioeconomy, identifying approaches for assessing the value of the bioeconomy, developing a framework to measure the value of intangible assets, such as datasets and intellectual property, and identifying potential economic and national security risks and policy gaps.\nAccording to NASEM, \u201cMaintaining competitiveness in the bioeconomy is key to maintaining the economic health and security of the United States and other nations. This study is being undertaken to define and assess the scope of U.S. bioeconomy.\u201d\nIn their final consensus report, the panel will identify multiple approaches to safeguarding the bioeconomy, provide analyses of the pros and cons of each strategy, and recommend the most effective strategies to protect the technologies, data, and other intellectual property, while sustaining innovation and growth.\nRead more about the study at http://nas-sites.org/dels/studies/bioeconomy/\nParticipate in 2019 Congressional Visits Day\nSupplemental training program: In conjunction with the 2019 Congressional Visits Day, AIBS is offering its highly acclaimed Communications Boot Camp for Scientists. This professional development training course will be offered on March 25-26. All participants who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion indicating that they have successfully completed 12 hours of communications training. This professional development training program provides practical instruction and interactive exercises designed to help scientists (e.g. researchers, graduate students, professionals, educators) translate scientific information for non-technical audiences and to effectively engage with decision-makers and the news media. For more information and to register for the training program click here.\nExpress your interest in participating in the event by registering. Registration will close on February 15, 2019. Space is limited and it may not be possible to accommodate the participation of all interested individuals.\nActing Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler has announced the appointment of eight new members to the Agency's Science Advisory Board. Among the new members is John Christy, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Alabama and a prominent critic of mainstream climate science. Christy has previously advocated for a \"red team-blue team\" debate on climate science. Other new members include mainstream academicians and consultants.\nHouse lawmakers have passed legislation that would raise salaries for federal civilian employees by 2.6 percent for 2019. The pay hike is intended to match a raise approved by the President for the military in 2019 and end a pay freeze implemented by him for civilian employees. An equivalent bill has also been introduced in the Senate. Last year, the Senate passed similar legislation providing a 1.9 percent salary hike to the federal workforce, but the bill failed to pass in the House.\nHouse Natural Resources Committee Chairman Ra\u00fal Grijalva (D-AZ) has announced who will helm the panels subcommittees during the 116th Congress. Representative Deb Haaland (D-NM), a freshman, will head the National Parks, Forests and Public Lands Subcommittee, Representative Jared Huffman (D-CA) will chair the Water, Oceans and Wildlife Subcommittee, and Representative Alan Lowenthal (D-CA) will chair the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee.\nIn an explanatory statement accompanying the fiscal year (FY) 2019 Agriculture-Rural Development-Food and Drug Administration appropriations bill, appropriators have expressed concerns over the unknown costs of relocating the Economic Research Service (ERS) and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) outside the national capital region. The statement reads, \"Insufficient information and justification relating to the reorganization and relocation make moving forward on these proposals premature at this time.\" Appropriators have directed the Department of Agriculture to include cost estimates for the proposed relocation in its budget justifications for FY 2020. According to Agriculture Secretary Perdue, USDA is currently reviewing proposals by communities and universities to host the ERS and NIFA operations and is on track to complete the move by the end of 2019. Last year, 107 stakeholder organizations, including AIBS, urged Congress to scrutinize the proposal to relocate NIFA.",

Tayob said the families had been reunited with their families but were not in a position to divulge any further details.\nOne man whose sister, husband and three children had returned on Friday told Al Jazeera that the family was in good health.\nFamilies made journey\nIn May, an Al Jazeera investigation revealed that at least 23 South African citizens had relocated to ISIL-held territory since June 2014. At least eight families were believed to have made the journey.\nTo date at least two South Africans have died while fighting in Syria.\nExperts say that most South Africans travelling to ISIL-held territory have done so in a non-combatant capacity.\nUK drone strike kills British ISIL fighters in Syria\nIn May, Jasmine Opperman, a Cape Town-based analyst with TRAC, a terrorism research and consultant consortium, told Al Jazeera that some were looking to assist with humanitarian emergencies, while others wanted to assist ISIL in bolstering its administration and emergency services.\nDr Hisham Al Alawi, the Iraqi ambassador to South Africa, said that local authorities had worked to repatriate those who posed no threat to the safety and security of the country.\nThe ambassador added, however, that there remained a threat that elements among the returnees could still harbour sympathy for ISIL, and might recruit others, as has been in the case among returnees in the United Kingdom.\n\u201cWe cannot say that they have lost their faith in ISIL, not for all of them at least,\u201d Alawi said.\nIt is understood that the South Africans met officials in Turkey and were provided with consular services enabling them to travel back to South Africa.\n'Half-truths and propaganda'\nSimon Allison, a senior correspondent with the Daily Maverick, who was among the first to report on South Africans joining ISIL, told Al Jazeera that the return illuminated the fallacies in the lure of ISIL.\n\u201cMuch of the attraction of the Islamic State to outsiders is built on half-truths and propaganda. It\u2019s no surprise that the reality did not live up to the illusion.\n\u201cMore surprising is the South African government\u2019s willingness to help them to return home. Not all governments are so accommodating.\u201d Allison said.\nSouth Africa's Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act forbids citizens from participating in military activities abroad. South African mercenaries are well known to be active in Somalia, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Iraq, while South Africans with dual Israeli citizenship have also been known to have actively participated in battle for the Israeli army.\nWhile several warnings have been issued against South Africans fighting abroad, to date, no South African has been tried for contravening this law. Earlier this week, however, a report in the Sunday Times suggested that South Africa would move to ban dual citizenship in an effort to impede South Africans from fighting for the Israeli army.",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019m three miles away from the water. I can\u2019t possibly need USL&H insurance!\u201d\nDon\u2019t be too sure. Let\u2019s talk about situs, again (see previous discussions, for example, October 12, 2011).\nBy way of introduction, AEU offers a 4 hour class in the Longshore Act which is approved for Continuing Education credits for producers and CSRs in many states. During the class, the coverage concept of \u201csitus\u201d is discussed at length.\nIn the process of discussing situs, a misconception occasionally arises to the effect that at a certain distance from the water there is a line where the Longshore Act stops. The distance varies, but for example the idea is that, \u201cthe Longshore Act stops 100 feet from the water.\u201d It should be so easy.\nThe question can be framed as, \u201cHow far is too far?\u201d In other words, is there some distance that is automatically too far from navigable waters to even be considered as a possible \u201cother adjoining area\u201d under Section 3(a) of the Act? Is there an invisible line at some point where the usual geographic and functional analyses are no longer necessary simply because of the distance involved?\nLet\u2019s start at the beginning. Section 3(a) of the Longshore Act, the situs provision, states, \u201cExcept as otherwise provided in this section, compensation shall be payable under this Act in respect of disability or death of an employee, but only if the disability or death results from an injury occurring upon the navigable waters of the United States (including any adjoining pier, wharf, dry dock, terminal, building way, marine railway, or other adjoining area customarily used by an employer in loading, unloading, repairing, dismantling, or building a vessel).\u201d\nIn previous discussions, we\u2019ve seen how various courts use their own versions of geographic and functional analyses to determine whether a location is an \u201cother adjoining area\u201d. Typical are the so-called \u201cHerron factors\u201d used by the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. These include consideration of the particular suitability of the site for maritime uses, whether adjoining properties are devoted primarily to maritime commerce, proximity of the site to the waterway, and whether the site is as close to the waterway as feasible given all of the circumstances in the case.\nThe purpose is to determine whether the general location of the injury, not the pinpoint spot where it happened, but the surrounding area, is characterized by maritime activity, i.e., loading and unloading of ships and building, dismantling and repair of vessels.\nAnd we\u2019ve also seen that the federal Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals uses a different approach. In the Fourth, \u201cadjoining\u201d means adjoining. That is, to be considered an \u201cother adjoining area\u201d, a site has to be adjacent to or contiguous with the water.\nSo, everywhere except the Fourth Circuit, we are looking at a two part functional and geographic analysis which takes into account several factors, of which distance from the water is only one. If the claimant is not injured on navigable waters or on an enumerated site (pier, wharf, dry dock, terminal, building way, or marine railway), the question is whether the injury occurred in an \u201cother adjoining area\u201d which is in the vicinity, neighborhood, or general area of navigable waters (geography) and is customarily used for maritime activity related to that navigable water (function).\nLet\u2019s assume for the rest of this discussion that the area in question has a functional connection with maritime activity, for example, a container repair yard or tool maintenance and storage facility. Typically it seems that these types of operations are moved back from the water because of space limitations at the terminals (space needed for storing cargo). So, we can consider the remaining test, geography.\nLogically, at some point from each body of water the geographic analysis must become stretched to the breaking point. You have maritime activity, performed by workers who meet the status test for coverage, in an area that is simply too far from the water to constitute an \u201cother adjoining area\u201d. Simple rules are good. Courts use them. For example, if you spend less than 30% of your time working on board a vessel then you are probably not a Jones Act seaman. If you worked 75% of the preceding year in your regular employment, then you get credit for 100% in your average weekly wage calculation. So how about, three miles away is automatically not a covered situs under Section 3(a)?\nIt\u2019s not so simple. In a recent case involving a maritime facility over 3 miles away from the water, the Court engaged in a Herron type analysis of the area, including consideration of the use of surrounding properties and site selection considerations. It would have been easy to say, \u201cThree miles is too far \u2013 there is no geographic nexus.\u201d But we don\u2019t have that automatic line.\nDon\u2019t take anything for granted. A distance test, even one at the fringe or extreme, would be helpful, but distance from the water, any distance, is only one factor to be considered in a situs analysis. Each case has its own specific facts, and each case must be analyzed on its own. Always bear in mind that the courts interpret the Longshore Act liberally, and this extends to questions of coverage.",

        "title": "The Defense Base Act",
        "raw_content": "The Defense Base Act (42 U.S.C. 1651) (DBA) is a workers\u2019 compensation law that extends the benefits of the Longshore and Harbor Workers\u2019 Compensation Act to employees outside of the continental United States under certain circumstances (under the DBA Alaska and Hawaii are part of the Continental U.S.). It was passed in 1941, supplemented in 1942 by the War Hazards Compensation Act, and amended in 1953 and 1958 to broaden its coverage.\nSince September 2001 there have been nearly 60,000 injuries reported under the DBA, including nearly 2,000 deaths. There are a lot of civilian contractors working overseas on government contracts.\nThe DBA covers the following employment activities:\nAll employees working overseas for private employers on U.S. military bases or on any lands used by the U.S. for military purposes outside the continental U.S. in any Territory or possession;\nAll employees working on public works contracts with any U.S. Government agency outside the continental U.S.;\nAll employees working on contracts approved or funded by the U.S. Under the Foreign Assistance Act, generally providing for cash sale of military equipment, materials, or services to allies, if the contract is performed outside the continental U.S.;\nAll employees working for American employers providing welfare or similar services outside the U.S. for the benefit of the armed forces (such as the USA).\nIf you have employees working overseas then you should be thinking about the Defense Base Act.\nHere are the top ten things that you should know about DBA coverage:\nThe Defense Base Act is not a good name for this law. It does not have to be about defense, and it does not have to be on a military base;\nThe DBA applies to all employees, not just to Americans;\nThe DBA applies to subcontractors just like prime contractors;\nThe DBA applies to foreign employers employing only third country nationals;\nThe language in a contract does not determine whether or not the DBA applies. The statutory language determines the coverage. If the government contracting officer makes a mistake and does not require DBA coverage, then it is the contractor/employer who faces the consequences of being uninsured;\nThe DBA may apply regardless of the length of the contract, whether just a few days, a year, or longer;\nThe DBA has no exclusion for corporate officers. They are covered;\nThe DBA may apply even if an Iraqi ministry is administering the contract, the contractor is not an American company, and none of the employees is American;\nThe U.S. Navy cannot waive the DBA just because they think that it costs too much;\nThe U.S. Department of Labor can waive the application of the DBA under certain circumstances. One of the conditions for waiver is that the waived employees must be covered by the local workers\u2019 compensation law. Because there is no local workers\u2019 compensation law in Iraq or Afghanistan, there is no effective waiver of the DBA in Iraq or Afghanistan;\nThe Longshore Act minimum rate does not apply under the DBA;\nThe reference point for whether a waiver applies is where the contract is to be performed, not the country of origin of the worker;\nSection 1651(a)(1) of the DBA says, \u201c\u2026irrespective of the place injury or death occurs, and shall include any injury or death occurring to any such employee during transportation to or from the place of employment, where the U.S. or the employer provides the transportation or the cost thereof.\u201d You could have a DBA exposure within the continental U.S.;\nThe DBA, if it applies, is the worker\u2019s exclusive remedy;\nThere does not necessarily have to be a causal relationship between the employment of the injured worker and the injury, nor is it even necessary that the employee be engaged at the time of the injury in an activity of benefit to his employer. All that is required is that the \u201cobligations and conditions\u201d of employment create the \u201cZone of Special Danger\u201d out of which the injury arose.",

        "raw_content": "\"Maurice Braun was born on October 1, 1877 in Nagy Bittse, which then, was within the boundaries of Hungary and now is a resort in Czechoslovakia. Hungarian by birth, at the age of four Maurice and the Braun family migrated to the United States and settled in New York City.\nAs a young man Maurice Braun rejected a career as a jeweler and instead opted to become a painter. From 1897 to 1900 his professional studies took him to the National Academy of Fine Arts studying in the French academic tradition under Francis C. Jones, George W. Maynard and Edgar M. Ward. Following his training at the Academy, in 1901 Braun studied for one year with the famous American painter William Merritt Chase.\nAfter having been established in New York as a figure and portrait painter, Braun left for California in 1909 to escape the influence of his fellow artists. California's incredible landscape proved to be inspirational. Reveling in the color and forms of the region, with a strong sense of composition, he masterfully balanced the challenges of California's intense light and color. His landscapes reflect a deep respect and appreciation for nature.\nCaptivated by San Diego and southern California throughout his career, Braun became an integral figure of the Southern California landscape school along with his contemporaries Charles Reiffel, Charles A. Fries, Leon Bonnet and Elliot Torrey. He was considered by many to be San Diego's most famous of early painters. He maintained studios in San Diego, California and Old Lyme, Connecticut.\nMaurice Braun won the Hallgarten Prize, National Academy of Design in 1900 and later the Gold Medal at the Panama-California Exposition, San Diego in 1915,1916. His paintings can be found in the Houston Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Laguna Beach Museum of Art and the San Diego Museum of Art. Maurice Braun died in his beloved city, San Diego, on November 7, 1941.\"\nResearch Source: AskArt.com, material provided by Lawrence Beebe Fine Art",

        "raw_content": "Discovering New York for the second time, 30 years later\nHerbert Murray spent nearly 30 years in jail after being convicted for a crime he didn't commit. Photo Credit: Mark Chiusano/AMNY\nUpdated September 3, 2018 11:29 PM\nHerbert Murray didn\u2019t understand what all the chirping was on the bus down to New York City. Birdsong, maybe? It was 2008, and he\u2019d just been released from prison, nearly 30 years after being convicted for a crime he didn\u2019t commit. Eventually, he realized the sounds were ringing cell phones. He hadn\u2019t known how cell phones worked.\n\u201cI was totally behind on technology,\u201d Murray, 60, says. He was visibly bewildered getting off at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. A man noticed the temporary clothes given to prisoners upon release. The man said he had once been incarcerated, too, and led Murray to the phone booths. \u201cCongratulations,\u201d the man said.\nThat was 10 years ago. Today, Murray goes through the bus terminal regularly on his way to work. This summer, he celebrated his 10-year anniversary at the Times Square Alliance a few blocks east.\n\u201cHerbert is our gift,\u201d says Tom Harris, senior vice president of the Alliance, which has worked with nonprofits to employ people who\u2019ve been in prison. \u201cWhat he has been through, what would have made anyone just be a negative person . . . he is the opposite of negative.\u201d\nIt started in a Fort Greene subway station in 1981. An elderly, blind man was confronted by two black men in what law enforcement said was an attempted robbery. The blind man was shot and killed. The attackers fled the subway station. But some time later, according to Murray\u2019s former lawyer, Frederick Feder, detectives circulated pictures of a group of young men who as teenagers had been arrested as youthful offenders.\nOne of the young men was Murray, who regretfully remembers tagging along with a tough crowd near a Fort Greene school, where they\u2019d been caught stealing. But he had turned his life around after the earlier offense, and had found a job. He\u2019d actually received a paycheck the night before the attempted robbery happened, says Feder. Murray knew nothing about the murder. But apparently his picture looked similar to one of the attackers, and despite having introduced six alibis at trial, he was convicted of felony murder.\nMurray found out eventually that it was likely his brother Anthony, addicted to drugs at the time, who had done the deed. \u201cWe look like twins,\u201d Murray says. His brother later died while in prison for drug-related crimes.\nMurray had a hard time adjusting to prison, hammering out New York State license plates for a pittance and proclaiming his innocence. What authorities saw as his \u201clack of remorse\u201d didn\u2019t help in parole hearings. He unsuccessfully went through seven. Then, Feder, the lawyer, was able to get a letter from the judge who had presided over the case. Feder said the judge had told him that if it had been a non-jury trial all those decades ago, he would have acquitted. The evidence was that weak. Letters from the judge and Feder finally did the trick with the parole board and Murray was free.\nThat was all a long time ago now, Murray feels. In the years since, he has gone from feeling claustrophobic around crowds of people to loving the \u201chustle and bustle\u201d of Times Square. He is now a supervisor, and patrols his territory from 42nd to 47th streets getting events set up in the pedestrian plaza expanse. He lives alone in New Jersey but has a good relationship with his daughter, who was a year old when he was arrested. Now he is a grandfather.\n\u201cHe\u2019s a remarkable guy,\u201d says Feder.\nAside from his day job wrangling seating arrangements and jazz performances in Times Square, Murray became involved in the movement to close Rikers Island, which he calls the worst and most dangerous facility he spent time in.\nJanos Marton, formerly of the advocacy group JustLeadershipUSA, says Murray was one of the first campaign members and became a leader.\nMarton remembers Murray confronting Mayor Bill de Blasio at a fundraiser months before de Blasio came forward with a plan to close the jail complex. De Blasio put his hand on Murray\u2019s shoulder and said they were on the same page, and talked about reforming Rikers. Murray wasn\u2019t satisfied: he said he wanted to close Rikers, not reform it. The crowd cheered.\nNow Rikers is scheduled to close, as Murray and the activists wanted (though not as soon as they\u2019d hoped).\nIt\u2019s just one way the city has changed since the years before Murray was consigned to prison (and yes, he now is adept with a cell phone). Murray, in his upbeat way, sees it as an upward progression. He remembers going to Times Square as a kid: $1 for three movies in the cruddy area. Now he keeps the place organized and loves every minute of it \u2014 except the dress up characters, who he feels are extorting people.\nHe\u2019s spent time back in Fort Greene, too, the scene of his youth, where he has admired the outdoor dining, the new basketball stadium. Now he can walk around and appreciate what\u2019s there.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t know,\u201d he says, \u201cI was raised up in a beautiful area.\u201d",

Whether you consider it in the fortunate, or unfortunate category, it's still just a render, which could easily be created by anyone with the necessary skills. But, we'll continue to hope beyond hope that HTC is indeed giving us a new myTouch family member, and especially one that looks as good as this.\nOf course, if this device does exist, and it is indeed the first HSPA+ device for T-Mobile, it's probably going to rake in quite a bit of money for the Magenta carrier. But, as it stands right now, there's still no word from anyone at T-Mobile or HTC that can confirm whether or not the myTouch 3G HD is real, or coming soon to the carrier any time soon. So for now, we'll just have to stare at the pictures and drool, with our fingers firmly crossed.",

        "title": "Samsung Galaxy Core LTE Going to Eastlink With Galaxy Note 4 Coming Soon! | Android Headlines",
        "raw_content": "Samsung Galaxy Core LTE Going to Eastlink With Galaxy Note 4 Coming Soon!\nBy Cory McNutt October 08, 2014, 11:59am\nSamsung loves to sell many models of smartphones - all specifications, from flagship to mid-range to low-end. One of their newer smartphones is a mid-level device called the Galaxy Core LTE, which we reported earlier this month was available on Rogers, Videotron and Fido...we now can say that regional carrier, Eastlink, has announced that the Galaxy Core LTE is now available on their network for $0 with EasyTab or $288 no-term. The Galaxy Core LTE is a great fit for those that cannot afford or just don't want to spend the money on a Galaxy S5. It has the \"Samsung Galaxy\" look and is a nice looking, solid device...great for school age kids or older adults can use it in the Easy Mode to help move them from their old flip-phone to their first smartphone.\nThe Galaxy Core LTE has a 4.5-inch qHD display with a resolution of 960 x 540 with about 245 pixels-per-inch (PPI) - one thing to note...the Core LTE uses the TFT LCD technology rather than their usual Super AMOLED technology. It uses a quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage that can easily be expanded an additional 64GB via a microSD card...allowing you to store all of those pictures, videos or songs right on your device. Speaking of photos, it uses a 5MP main camera with auto focus and an LED Flash. The front-facing camera (FFC) is only a VGA, but good enough for a quick selfie for social media. The Galaxy Core LTE even sports a built-in FM radio, Wi-Fi, DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0 A2DP, NFC and a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer. It runs Android 4.4 KitKat and measures in at 132.9 x 66.3 x 9.8mm and weighs in at 137 grams.\nEastlink has also announced that they will be carrying the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. As usual, no exact date was given, but more than likely, it will be the same time later this month as all of the other usual suspects - Rogers, Bell, Telus, Sasktel, Videotron, WIND Mobile, MTS and Koodo Mobile. Please hit us up on our Google+ Page and let us know if you will be picking up the new Samsung Galaxy Core LTE or if you will be waiting for the new Galaxy Note 4...as always, we would love to hear from you.",

        "title": "Declining Sales Are Not A Reason To Worry, Says Xiaomi's CEO | Android Headlines",
        "raw_content": "Declining Sales Are Not A Reason To Worry, Says Xiaomi's CEO\nXiaomi is, next to Huawei, the largest smartphone manufacturer in China at the moment. The two companies have been trading places at the top of that list for quite some time now. Xiaomi has shipped 61 million devices in 2014, and the company has set a goal to ship 80 to 100 million handsets this year, but it is possible they won't be able to achieve that. The company has managed to sell 34.7 million units in the first half of the year, and it is still possible they'll hit that 80 million number, though somewhat unlikely. The Xiaomi Mi 5 would certainly boost Xiaomi's sales at the end of the year, but they still haven't released their new flagship. That handset will be announced next year, so it won't be able to boost Xiaomi's sales even further. Xiaomi did, however, release the Redmi Note 3 and MI Pad 2 recently, so there's still a chance.\nAnyhow, it seems like Xiaomi underestimated the competition a bit. Some of the China-based companies started copying Xiaomi's business model, and Huawei has been an enormous success this year, not only in China, but globally as well. That being said, Xiaomi's CEO doesn't seem all that worried about it. He said that it was to be expected considering smartphone sales are declining in China. The company has started selling devices in Brazil this year, and is growing really fast in India, not to mention that we're expecting them to arrive to the US in 2016 as well. Now, it remains to be seen how many devices will Xiaomi sell before the end of the year, but even if they don't meet their forecast, 2015 can still be considered a successful year for this company, that's for sure.\nXiaomi will have a far harder time penetrating other markets which are completely different than the one in China, like the U.S. smartphone market, for example. It will be interesting to see if Xiaomi will stick to their flash sales and social media model, or will they adapt to the U.S. market and start doing business as other companies do, like Samsung, LG, Motorola, Huawei, etc. We'll see what happens, but 2016 will surely be an interesting year for this Chinese smartphone manufacturer.\nSource: The Wall Street Journal Via: Phone Arena",

Amid global concerns about entering a new era of protectionism with regards to trade, regional trade meetings held in Vietnam over the past weekend (Sunday 21 May) are pivotal for the future of Australian and New Zealand trade liberalisation and associated benefits.\nThe Australian and New Zealand Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade have respectively released their perspectives on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) which has been under negotiation, between the 16 members, for the past four years and is hoping to be finalised by the end of 2017. The RCEP builds upon the strong relationships that Australia and New Zealand already have in Asia, has the potential to open up many more opportunities with the region's fastest growing economies and provide strategies for further growth.\nSimilarly, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) has also been a topic of discussion for both countries visiting ministers, as Australia, New Zealand and Japan lead the primary discussions for TPP 11, an agreement which promises economic benefits despite the United States withdrawal. Aiming to liberalise the flow of goods among countries in the Pacific Rim, TPP would ultimately result in new economic opportunities for Australian and New Zealand businesses. Access to new markets provides our exporters with opportunities for expansion as well as our physical proximity to Asia giving us a comparative advantage to benefit from Asia-led trends of a growing middle and upper class, rising incomes, and increasing urbanisation.\nTPP aims to provide a way to promote regional economic integration, contribute positively to the economic growth prospects of its member countries, and create new opportunities for all stakeholders involved, including workers, families, businesses and consumers. These efforts would address our concern about protectionism, contribute to maintaining open markets, strengthening the rules-based international trading system, increasing world trade, and raising overall living standards. The recent regional trade meeting in Hanoi underlined the vision for TPP to be expanded in the future to other economies, as well as for the TPP agreement assessment to be prepared before the next APEC Economic Leaders Meeting in November of 2017.\nAs such, given this month\u2019s significant free trade discussions and negotiations, the ANZCCJ is motivated to continue to pursue the outcomes of their roundtable talks with the Keizai Doyukai (Japan Association of Corporate Executives) in Japan, as well as the aforementioned objectives presented by the visiting trade ministers respectively, and Prime Minister English.\nTo read the actions and outcomes from the 23rd Meeting of APEC Ministers responsible for Trade, click here.\nTo read more about the RCEP from the Australia DFAT, click here.\nTo read more about the RCEP from the New Zealand MFAT, click here.\nFor more information, or general inquiries, please contact info@anzccj.jp\nANZCCJ Welcomes New Zealand & Japanese Business Leaders to a Luncheon with Rt Hon Bill English\nThe ANZCCJ hosted the Rt Hon Bill English, the Prime Minister of New Zealand at a working luncheon where he spoke to New Zealand, Australian and Japanese business leaders at the Conrad Hotel Tokyo on 17 May 2017.\nThe Prime Minister was accompanied by his wife, Dr Mary English, Trade Minister, Hon Todd McClay, and a delegation of leading business representatives from NZ.\nThis was part of Mr English\u2019s first visit to Asia as Prime Minister, and he spoke at length about the strong relationship between Japan and New Zealand, as well as the future of the TPP11 deal.\nFollowing the lunch was a round table for business leaders, and the signing of a \u2018sports collaboration\u2019 Memorandum of Understanding between the Japanese and New Zealand govts.\nThe ANZCCJ was proud to host a working luncheon for the visiting Prime Minister of New Zealand, the Rt Hon Bill English and his wife, Dr Mary English, at the Conrad Hotel Tokyo on 17 May 2017. In attendance from the Prime Minister\u2019s delegation was the Trade Minister, Hon Todd McClay, leading business representatives from NZ, and local NZ media. Also in attendance were the New Zealand Ambassador to Japan, HE Stephen Payton, members of the ANZCCJ executive council, and local New Zealand, Australian and Japanese business leaders.\nThe event MC was ANZCCJ Executive Council Member, Catherine O\u2019Connell, and HE Ambassador Payton introduced the Prime Minister. Both spoke of the rich potential for bilateral cooperation that this trip represented.\nDuring his speech Prime Minister English spoke about his visit with Prime Minister Abe later that afternoon, and how best NZ could build on the \u201cstrategic cooperative partnership\u201d that they had built with Japan. PM English stated that NZ had become known in Japan as a \u201creliable, safe supplier of high quality foodstuffs\u201d and that Japanese investment into NZ enjoyed a stellar reputation for being high quality, long-term, and relationship-oriented.\nHe also acknowledged that Japanese investment had been key in helping to establish many NZ industries such as aluminum production. On top of this, joint investment and aid by NZ and Japan has been beneficial to the Pacific region and the NZ-JP relationship. Key to NZ\u2019s success as one of the highest performing economies within the OECD, according to English, was high rates of transparency in govt and NZ\u2019s open society that welcomed foreign trade, investment, and migrants.\nOne of the key messages of the PM\u2019s Speech was to show how both NZ and Japan were strongly in favour of the TPP11 trade deal, as they were the only two countries to have ratified the original TPP agreement. PM English also stated that this agreement would play an important role in securing global financial stability, restoring confidence in multilateral trade deals and combat harmful protectionist rhetoric. He hopes to impress this upon ministers at a meeting to discuss this issue in Hanoi next week, with the aim that through greater trade and growth the US will once again be willing to join the deal. PM English also spoke about NZ\u2019s fear of instability in East Asia due to the actions of the North Korean government, and the importance of international legal institutions in resolving the ongoing territory disputes within the region.\nFinally, on the subject of Rugby, the PM welcomed the signing of the MoU on Sports Collaboration. In ending his speech, the PM spoke of the common democratic values that link Japan and New Zealand despite their geographic distance and cultural differences.\nFollowing this was a speech by JNZBC Chair, Mr Kiyotaka Shindo.\nANZCCJ Media contact: Cristina Merino, ANZCCJ Executive Director\nPress release: New Zealand-Japan Summit Meeting\nNew Zealand \u2013 Japan Summit Meeting Joint Press Release\n1. Prime Minister of New Zealand the Right Honourable Bill English and Prime Minister of Japan His Excellency Shinzo Abe held a productive meeting in Tokyo on 17th May 2017. The two leaders reiterated the Strategic Cooperative Partnership between New Zealand and Japan founded on common values, such as freedom, democracy, rule of law and human rights, as well as a strong commitment to peace and security, free trade and investment, and sustainable development.\n2. The two leaders acknowledged the success and maturity of New Zealand \u2013Japan relationship at all levels, reflecting strong cooperation over many years.\n3. The two leaders reiterated their firm commitment to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Prime Minister Abe welcomed New Zealand\u2019s recent ratification of the TPP Agreement, alongside Japan. The two leaders appreciated the value of the TPP in enhancing high-standard regional trade rules and architecture, and contributing to growth, competition, innovation, and productivity that creates jobs and lower costs to consumers, as well as its strategic benefits. The two leaders affirmed the importance of close cooperation in realising TPP\u2019s strategic and economic benefits and remain committed to maintaining the unity among the signatories and early entry into force of the TPP Agreement, whilst bearing in mind opportunities for other economies to join if they accept the high standards of the TPP. They also confirmed that New Zealand and Japan continue to work together on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement negotiations to achieve a high-quality agreement, covering trade in goods, trade in services, and investment as well as rules such as trade facilitation, rules of origin, e-commerce, intellectual property and government procurement, reaffirming the RCEP Guiding Principles and the Joint Statements by RCEP Leaders. They shared the view that ambitious, comprehensive, balanced, and high-standard TPP and RCEP outcomes would contribute positively to the shared goal of regional economic integration.\n4. The two leaders condemned in the strongest terms North Korea\u2019s nuclear tests, repeated ballistic missile launches and proliferation activities. They strongly urged North Korea to cease its destabilising and provocative actions immediately and to fully comply with its international obligations and commitments, including those under relevant United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions. The two leaders welcomed the unanimous adoption of UN Security Council resolution 2321 and emphasised the importance of enhancing pressure on North Korea through full, thorough and sustained implementation by Member States of all relevant UN Security Council resolutions, including Resolutions 2270 and 2321. The two leaders strongly urged North Korea to resolve the abductions issue at the earliest time.\n5. The two leaders underlined the importance of ensuring a stable, free and open rules-based order and of enhancing connectivity in our region and beyond. They confirmed that New Zealand and Japan will continue to work proactively in this regard, together with other like-minded partners. Prime Minister English appreciated the briefing by Prime Minister Abe on Japan\u2019s \u201cFree and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy\u201d and welcomed Japan\u2019s greater engagement in the region.\n6. The two leaders also re-emphasised the importance of upholding the rules-based regional and international order in the maritime domain, and called on all states to respect freedom of navigation and overflight, and unimpeded trade. They reaffirmed that any issues in the maritime domain should be resolved peacefully and in accordance with international law and expressed their strong opposition to any use of force or actions that could increase tensions.\n7. In this regard, the two leaders expressed concern over the situation in the South China Sea and called on the parties to settle disputes by peaceful means in accordance with United Nations\nConventions on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and in light of the award rendered by the Arbitral Tribunal on 12 July 2016. They called on all parties to uphold freedom of navigation and overflight and ensure unimpeded trade while avoiding provocative actions that could increase tensions and erode regional trust and confidence, including land reclamation, building of outposts, construction and militarisation.\n8. The two leaders encouraged early finalisation of an effective Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) and full implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) in its entirety.\n9. The two leaders welcomed the contribution of the East Asia Summit (EAS) and Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) as important elements of regional architecture that promote stability and prosperity and advance regional economic integration. Japan welcomed New Zealand\u2019s hosting of APEC in 2021.\n10. Recognising the unique and complex challenges in the Pacific region, the two leaders emphasised the importance of cooperation between Japan, New Zealand, and the Pacific island countries to build economic and environmental resilience and maintain regional peace and stability. The two leaders committed to continue practical cooperation and policy consultation.\n11. The two leaders acknowledged the commitment to develop the security and defence relationship following the signing of a Memorandum of Intent on Defence Cooperation in 2013. They welcomed recent concrete progress on the unit-to-unit exchanges and underscored the importance to seek further exchange and cooperation opportunities. They encouraged their officials to continue work on a possible acquisition and cross-servicing agreement (ACSA) between the two countries.\n12. The two leaders encouraged stronger business linkages between Japan and New Zealand in areas of complementary strengths. They reaffirmed the importance of strengthening the partnership in food and agriculture between the two countries, and a shared commitment to food quality and safety. They welcomed the recent growth in research and commercialisation partnerships in functional food, elderly care technologies, agri-business, and geothermal energy. The two leaders welcomed the ongoing discussion between their officials to explore a Japan-New Zealand partnership on renewable energy. Prime Minister English welcomed Japan\u2019s upcoming role as Chair of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA). The two leaders instructed their officials to resume Joint Economic Consultations.\n13. The two leaders welcomed enhanced bilateral cooperation in sport, culture and people-to- people linkages. They stated their intention to cooperate for the success of the Rugby World Cup 2019, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the World Masters Games 2021 to be hosted by Japan. They appreciated both initiatives; \u201cSport for Tomorrow\u201d and \u201cGame on English\u201d. They also welcomed the signing of the bilateral Memorandum of Cooperation between the Japan Sports Agency and the Sport New Zealand. The two leaders reaffirmed the importance of sister city exchanges for promoting mutual understanding especially among young people.\n14. With their past experiences of natural disasters in both countries, including great earthquakes, the two leaders shared the intention that both sides will seek further opportunities to work together to enhance recovery and resilience in the region.\n15. The two leaders reaffirmed that Japan and New Zealand would continue to work closely together on global issues such as security, disarmament and non-proliferation, human rights, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, climate change, the UN Security Council reform, based on their shared commitment to common democratic values, peace and security, free trade and investment, and international law. \"The information contained in this email message is intended only for the addressee and is not necessarily the official view or communication of the Ministry.

At the draw in Kyoto, eight slots were allocated to the teams yet to qualify.\nPool A: Ireland, Scotland, Japan, Europe 1, play-off winner\nAmong the highlights of the pool draw was of course, New Zealand & South Africa being in same pool given their history as long term competitive rivals. Attendees playfully celebrated their friendly rivalries over potential outcomes of the cup, as the draw was screened as well as following up with inquiries about how Japan intends to address the various logistical considerations of hosting such an event, both fun and serious. The expert panel addressed many of these questions in the discussion and follow-up Q&A session as moderated by Julianne Merriman, Trade Commissioner, from the Australian Trade Commission.\nThe Panel featured Sam Pearson (Kiwi), the Partnership Development Director for CSM Sports & Entertainment in Japan, David MacCallum (Aussie), the Commercial Director of STH Group Asia and finally our Japanese panelist was Yuji Honda, the Head of Strategy & Legacy on the RWC 2019 Organising Committee.\nThe Rugby World Cup is an opportunity for Japan to showcase itself as a global hub for tourists who will be visiting. During the panel, Yuji Honda explained, \"From a hospitality perspective the aim is on creating a great experience for guests and there are a number of fun ideas about the structure and opportunities.\"\nWorking at STH group, who were also the global rights holder for the official hospitality and travel programmes for Rugby World Cup 2007, 2011 and 2015, David explained that \u201cThe Rugby World Cup is low risk, high return relative to other major sporting events. In terms of organising and hosting sporting events, it is one of the better events to be charged with in terms of organising. Looking at the data from the last Rugby World Cup in England in 2015, on average 400,000 tourists, each spending around 3000 pounds and staying on average 14 days. Most people were following a team over a couple of weekends, balancing travel and games.\u201d\nYuji Honda explained that the Rugby World Cup 2019 will have 12 host cities across Japan, including major cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama. \"The important challenge is the other 10 cities and concerns as to how to fill the venues, and activating the local and international communities of the featured games.\"\nOther important points that were mentioned were the need to create general awareness among the Japanese public, but also increase understanding about how companies can leverage major sporting events to the benefit of their businesses. Given that the Rugby World Cup is one of the largest events in the world, the panelists further added that the excitement surrounding it can simultaneously translate into business opportunities. This can be taken advantage of through the use of social media, for example.\nAltogether, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening featuring both entertainment and business networking complemented by the stunning views of the Roppongi Hills Club. ANZCCJ would also like to acknowledge the sponsors of this amazing event, Air New Zealand, and thank them for their donation of the generous lucky draw prize. Congratulations to ANZCCJ member Ryo Hayakawa, on his winning the two tickets to New Zealand! A further thank you to Robert Walters, an official sponsor of the Brave Blossoms for the goodie bags.\nIn his closing remarks, ANZCCJ Chair Andrew Gauci, remarked, \"The Chamber looks forward to working with Australian and New Zealand businesses in Japan to leverage the many events we will be hosting over the following years as we get closer to the RWC and the Olympics.\"\nYou can read further details about the Rugby World Cup Pool Draw on the official site here, in both English and Japanese.\nANZCCJ inquiries: Cristina Merino, ANZCCJ Executive Director\nANZCCJ Website Redesign\nThe Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce is proud to launch our newly redesigned website!\nTo read our press release, click here.\nWith visitors to our website approximating 1672 per month, the primary objectives of our site development efforts were focused on access, diversifying content, and increasing the visibility of our committees and events.

        "raw_content": "AODA Alliance\u2019s Discussion Paper on Options for Reforming Human Rights Enforcement in Ontario\nOn February 20, 2006 the Ontario Government announced plans to introduce a\nbill into the Legislature this spring to amend the Ontario Human Rights Code,\nwith the aim of speeding up the enforcement of human rights. The Government\u2019s\nbill, whose details haven\u2019t been made public, will remove the Ontario Human\nRights Commission\u2019s lead mandate to investigate and prosecute discrimination\ncomplaints before the Human Rights Tribunal. The Government says that under its plans, discrimination victims will file and present their human rights\ncomplaints directly with the Human Rights Tribunal, whose job is to rule on\nthese complaints. The Ontario Human Rights Commission is the public agency now charged with responsibility to publicly investigate and prosecute those who\nunlawfully discriminate on grounds such as mental or physical disability, race,\nreligion, sexual orientation, sex or age.\nThe Government proposes to require discrimination victims to investigate and\nprosecute their own cases. It has made vague statements about providing legal\nadvice and supports to discrimination victims. However the Government has yet to answer requests for specifics.\nThe AODA Alliance is a province-wide non-partisan voluntary, grass-roots\ncoalition of individuals and community organizations from Ontario\u2019s disability\ncommunity. It\u2019s united mission is: \u201cTo contribute to the achievement of a\nbarrier-free Ontario for all persons with disabilities, by promoting and\nsupporting the timely, effective, and comprehensive implementation of the\nAccessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.\u201d The AODA Alliance recognizes\nthat the Human Rights Code and a strong effective Ontario Human Rights\nCommission to enforce it are absolutely indispensable for the achievement of a\nbarrier-free Ontario for all people with disabilities through the AODA.\nThe AODA Alliance believes that the Ontario Government\u2019s planned changes to the human rights enforcement system, announced on February 20, 2006, is seriously flawed. It will make things worse, not better. We explain why in Appendix 1 to this Discussion Paper. For more details, visit:\nhttp://www.www.aodaalliance.org or\nhttp://dawn.thot.net\nsystem needs to be significantly improved. Unfortunately, the Ontario Government hasn\u2019t released a Discussion Paper offering a range of options on how to fix this system. Public discussion and debate on this topic since the Government\u2019s February 20, 2006, announcement has focused on the pros and cons of the Government\u2019s single proposed option, an option, which many community organizations oppose.\nMany individuals and community organizations including the AODA Alliance have called on the Ontario Government, before introducing a bill into the\nLegislature, to hold an open, accessible, province-wide public consultation on\nhow to improve Ontario\u2019s system for enforcing the Ontario Human Rights Code. To help the public think about this issue, the AODA Alliance prepared this\nDiscussion Paper, which:\nBriefly explains how the Human Rights Code is now enforced.\nLists key principles that could guide reform of the enforcement of human\nSuggests eleven options, which could be considered to improve this\nThis Discussion Paper offers these options to help generate public discussion. You may like some, all or none of them. These options may help you think of other options for reform. By offering these options for discussion, the AODA Alliance Board has not endorsed them as a package. The options are not listed in any order of importance.*\nThe AODA Alliance has to date, called on the Ontario Government to strengthen\nthe Ontario Human Rights Commission, not weaken it. The only proposal that the\nAODA Alliance has so far urged upon the Government is to increase the Human\nRights Commission\u2019s budget. That idea is expanded upon in Option 1, below.\nThe AODA Alliance wants your feedback on this Discussion Paper. What do you\nthink, of these options? Which do you like or dislike? What other options might\nyou suggest? What are the top priorities?\nRemember we must be practical. Long experience shows that the provincial\ngovernment isn\u2019t receptive to proposals that have an unrealistic price tag. On\nthe other hand, we don\u2019t have to accept the current Human Rights budget as\ncemented in stone.\nPlease understand that our volunteer Board won\u2019t be able to write back to\neveryone, to separately comment on each item of your feedback. However we will definitely use all the feedback we get in developing any final proposals to\nGovernment. Send us your feedback at:\nThis Discussion Paper isn\u2019t just intended for Ontario\u2019s disability community. We\nhope it will also generate discussion, views and ideas from other equality-seeking communities, outside the disability community. We have tried to put forward options that will interest any individuals and organizations who are interested in having the Ontario Human rights Code effectively enforced. We encourage other equality-seeking communities to circulate this Discussion Paper, gather feedback on it, and let the Government know what measures to take to strengthen the enforcement of human rights in Ontario.\nB. HOW ARE HUMAN RIGHTS NOW ENFORCED IN ONTARIO?\nThe Ontario Human Rights Code is a very important law. It makes it illegal\nfor anyone in the public or private sectors to discriminate against a person\nbecause of his or her disability, sex, religion, race, sexual orientation or\ncertain other grounds. It bans discrimination in access to things like\nemployment and the enjoyment of goods, services and facilities. It requires\nemployers, stores and others offering goods, services and facilities to accommodate the needs of disadvantaged groups protected by the Human Rights Code like persons with disabilities. It requires organizations in the public and private sectors to remove existing barriers to persons with disabilities, and to prevent the creation of new ones.\nThe Human Rights Code is the underpinning of the Accessibility for Ontarians\nwith Disabilities Act a new law that is aimed at achieving a barrier free\nOntario for persons with disabilities with 20 years. The Human Rights Code\ndidn\u2019t originally cover disability discrimination. People with disabilities\nfought long and hard to win these rights back in the late 70s and early 80s.\nHow do you enforce these rights now? If you believe an organization has\ndiscriminated against you because of your disability, race, religion, sex, age,\nor other protected ground, you can file a formal document called a \u201chuman rights complaint\u201d with the Ontario Human Rights Commission. In that document you explain the events that you say amounted to unlawful discrimination.\ndecides that your complaint has merit under the Code, and if it can\u2019t work out a\nvoluntary settlement between you and the organization complained against, its\njob is to take your case to a separate, independent Tribunal, the Ontario Human\nRights Tribunal. At the Tribunal, the Human Rights Commission is the public\nprosecutor that prosecutes the case. It sends a publicly paid Human Rights\nCommission lawyer to present the complaint. Discrimination victims can also\nbring their own lawyer. Importantly, they don\u2019t have to.\nC. KEY PRINCIPLES FOR REFORM\nThe current system for enforcing the Ontario Human rights Code\u2019s ban on\ndiscrimination is too slow, backlogged, and ineffective. Reforms should\naddress and solve this problem.\nOntario needs a strong, effective public law enforcement agency to\npublicly investigate human rights complaints, and where a case comes before\nthe Human Rights Tribunal for a hearing, to serve as the public prosecutor.\nReforms to the system for enforcing human rights should be based on, and\ntake into account, the front-line experience of discrimination victims.\nChanges shouldn\u2019t be decided on and adopted without a proper, open\naccessible public consultation. This includes both (a) open, accessible\nconsultations by Government before it introduces a bill into the\nLegislature, and (b) province-wide open public hearings on the bill after\nthe bill is introduced into the Legislature.\nThe process for enforcing human rights should be barrier-free and fully\naccessible to those equality-seeking individuals and communities whose\nrights the Human Rights Code guarantees. Existing barriers in the human\nrights system should be identified and removed. No new barriers to it should\never be created now or in the future.\nD. OPTIONS FOR STRENGTHENING THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION AND TRIBUNAL\nImmediately Increase and Stabilize Funding to the Human Rights\nCommission to Enable Prompt, Effective Investigation and Prosecution of\nLower The Legal Threshold For The Commission To Refer A Case To A\nSimplify and Reduce The Number of Internal Formal Decisions The\nHuman Rights Commission Must Make in a Single Case\nUndertake Prompt, Serious and Substantial Independent Review of OHRC\nGate-Keeping, Investigation, Conciliation and Mediation Procedures.\nReform Human Rights Commission Process for Deciding to Dismiss a\nSubstantially Streamline the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal.\nImpose Enforceable Time-lines for Major Steps in the Human Rights\nImprove Access to Legal Representation /Advice to Complainants\nDuring Human Rights Commission Investigation and Mediation\nSignificantly Expand Human Rights Remedies\nGive Discrimination Victims More Time to Launch a Human Rights\nMake The Human Rights Commission Independent of Government\nOption 1. Immediately Increase and Stabilize Funding to the Human Rights\nHuman Rights ViolationsThe Human Rights commission is Canada\u2019s largest anti-discrimination law\nenforcement agency. It has responsibility for over 11 million potential\ncomplainants, and many, thousands more public and private organizations as\npotential respondents. Its caseload has steadily grown, as have the grounds\nof discrimination it must investigate and prosecute.\nThe cases the Human Rights Commission must deal with keep growing in their\ncomplexity. Some of the organizations it must investigate and prosecute have\nbecome increasingly sophisticated in their legal strategies to slow down and\nresist investigations and prosecutions. Human Rights Tribunal hearings have\nbecome longer and more complex, causing public expectations and scrutiny of\nthe Commission to steadily escalate.\nDespite all these huge challenges, the Human Rights Commission\u2019s budget has\nremained basically static for at least a decade. It hasn\u2019t grown to match\nthe Commission\u2019s expanding task, even though prices and salaries have\nclimbed with inflation.\nIn the 1995 election, the previous Harris Government promised to increase\nthe Human Rights Commission\u2019s funding. Instead, after it was elected, it\nannounced cuts to the Commission\u2019s budget. A number of regional Commission\noffices were closed; placing the Commission more distant from those it is\nserves. Beyond raw dollars, the commission\u2019s front-line staff hasn\u2019t grown\nto cope with its swelling number of cases, and the ballooning complexity of\nthose cases. Its total number of staff is smaller than in years gone by.\nIt is thus no surprise that Commission investigation, mediation and\nprosecution of human rights complaints are too often too slow and can be\ninsufficiently rigorous, and that the Commission hasn\u2019t prosecuted more\ncases before the Tribunal. There are, for example, only so many hours in a\nCommission investigator, mediator\u2019s or prosecutor\u2019s day.\nTo speed up and improve the quality of the Commission\u2019s investigations and\nprosecutions, and to let it effectively prosecute more human rights violators, the provincial Government could provide increased, stabilized funding for the Commission. A budget number shouldn\u2019t just be pulled out of the air. It is necessary to develop a sensible budget based on the number of human rights complaints the Commission annually receives, and the number of cases a Commission investigator, mediator or prosecutor can effectively and reasonably handle in a year. From this a reasonable budget can be drawn up that will give the Commission enough investigators, mediators and lawyers to do timely investigation, mediation and prosecution of cases.\nThat budget could also provide for effective staff training so these investigators, mediators and lawyers can deliver improved service, especially given the problem of staff turnover at the Human Rights Commission. To these figures could be added amounts for the Commission\u2019s public education and policy work. A one-time figure would need to be added to clear the existing backlog of cases, as the NDP Government did in a blitz in the early 1990s. As well, a one-time figure would be needed to get a new stream-lined system for handling cases up and running, as is recommended below.\nIn a proper public consultation, the Commission could provide useful staffing and other financial information to enable a proper funding increase to be reasonably discussed and debated. As well, it ought to be possible from those figures to craft a rough formula for responding to any future needs for increases to the Commission\u2019s budget to address future increases in its caseload. If, for example, the Commission receives 2,700 human rights complaints in a future year (up from the recent rate of 2,400 per year), it should be straightforward to estimate the increasing investigation, mediation and prosecution resources it will need to effectively and promptly deal with the additional 300 cases.\nThis option isn\u2019t a proposal to randomly \u201cthrow money\u201d at a problem. If human rights complaints are to be properly and promptly investigated, mediated and where necessary, prosecuted; the required number of properly trained staff will need to be employed to do this work.\nOption 2. Lower The Legal Threshold For The Commission To Refer A Case To A Tribunal\nThe Ontario Human Rights Code now has a fairly vague threshold for when the\nCommission can refer a case for hearing to the Human Rights Tribunal. That\nthreshold could be lowered to make it easier for the Commission to refer a\ncase to a Tribunal. The Human Rights Code could also be amended to include\nstrong language that tells the courts that, when the Commission decides to\ntake a case to the Human Rights Tribunal, the courts should not interfere\nwith that decision.\nFor example, where the merits of a case will depend on a credibility assessment of clashing evidence from the complainant and the respondent, where the Commission doesn\u2019t determine based on its investigation and on the parties\u2019 submissions, that the complainant\u2019s case is inherently false, the case could be referred to the Tribunal. In that event, it would be the Tribunal\u2019s job to make credibility assessments based on live testimony.\ntheir dispute is irresolvable and should be decided by the Tribunal, the parties should be able to jointly ask the Commission to refer the case for a hearing at the Human Rights Tribunal. On consent, the parties could submit to the Commission sufficient evidence, to show what happened, what is in dispute, and why the matter needs a hearing. This joint submission could be deemed to fulfill the Commission\u2019s duty to investigate the case.\nOption 3. Simplify and Reduce The Number of Internal Formal Decisions the\nNow, when a person files a human rights complaint with the Human Rights\nCommission, the Commission can be required to make up to three separate\nformal decisions on that case. These are:\n34(1) of the Code. This is where the complaint is outside the Commission\u2019s mandate, or was filed more than six months after the discrimination, or where the complaint is frivolous, vexatious or brought in bad faith, or where the complaint is properly dealt with elsewhere.\n3) If under Decision 2, the Commission decides not to take the case to a\nfull hearing before the Tribunal, and if the complainant asks the Commission\nto reconsider this under section 37 of the Code, a reconsideration of whether the Commission should prosecute the case before the Tribunal.\nunder Decision 1 above, this can bog the case down for months, creating delays. These three decisions, which the Commission may have to make, could be streamlined and compressed. Opportunities for the Commission\u2019s investigation/conciliation process to become log-jammed with technicalities and procedural gamesmanship can thereby be reduced. Decisions 1 and 2 could be consolidated into one. Regarding Decision 3, see Option 5 below.\nOption 4. Undertake Prompt, Serious and Substantial Independent Review of\nOHRC Gate-Keeping, Investigation, Conciliation and Mediation Procedures\nThe Human Rights Commission\u2019s current procedures for screening,\ninvestigating, conciliating, mediating and handling complaints, from the\ninitial filing of a human rights complaint all the way through to the case\nproceeding to a Tribunal, even within its\u2019 existing budget is not operating\nat peak efficiency. A reliable expert from outside the Government and\nCommission should do a thorough review and audit of these practices, and\nshould make recommendations on how to simplify, improve and streamline the\nindependent, external review that could lead to substantial reforms in how\nthe Commission takes in, processes, investigates, conciliates and assesses\nhuman rights complaints. This could include a forensic audit of complaint\nfiles and other investigations to track why things take so long, and why\ninvestigations aren\u2019t more thorough. These procedures can\u2019t be fixed without\nan informed understanding of what\u2019s gone wrong and why, beyond the obvious\ndrag on the Human Rights Commission created by its chronically being\nunder-funded.\nAs part of this external audit, there should be a thorough review of any\nbarriers to access to the Human Rights Commission and Tribunal for persons\nprotected by the Code, such as persons with disabilities, people who don\u2019t\nspeak English or French, and others. That audit could identify any such barriers. It could present an action plan for their elimination and to prevent new barriers from being created.\nOption 5. Reform Human Rights Commission Process for Deciding to Dismiss\nThe Human Rights Commission\u2019s decision with the most final and potentially\ndetrimental consequences for human rights complainants is its power to\ndecide to not take a discrimination complaint to the Human Rights Tribunal\nfor a full hearing. If the Commission decides not to take a human rights\ncomplaint to the Tribunal for a full hearing, and if the Commission doesn\u2019t\nreverse this decision after a complainant asks the Commission to reconsider\nit, the practical result is that the complainant\u2019s human rights complaint is\nfinally and permanently rejected and dismissed.\nCommission to dismiss complaints (\u201cgate-keeping\u201d) has led the Commission to\nturn down human rights complaints that had arguable merit. They also object\nto the fact that the Human Rights Commission doesn\u2019t give the complainant an\noral hearing before making this decision. In Appendix 1 to this Discussion\nPaper, we explain that the Government\u2019s proposed changes don\u2019t eliminate\nthis gate-keeping function. It just creates new gatekeepers.\nInstead of moving the gate-keeping role elsewhere, there could be substantial improvements made to the way that the Commission exercises this function, to make it more fair, prompt, open, and accurate. Here are some ideas:\ntribunal for a full hearing, it could be required to give more fulsome reasons in writing for this decision.\n(b) Right now, when the Commission makes its decision whether to take a\nhuman rights complaint to the Tribunal for a full hearing, it does so in a\nclosed meeting. If it decides to dismiss the complaint, and a complainant\nasks the Commission to reconsider that decision, the Commission also\nconsiders that request in a closed meeting, without holding an open hearing.\nThe complainant can only make written submissions. Critics of the current\nsystem object to the fact that a complainant can have their case permanently\ndismissed without a chance to see the decision-maker, and argue their case\u2019s\nstrengths to the decision-makers in person.\ndismiss their human rights complaint. By this new procedure, if the Commission has decided not to take a human rights complaint to the Tribunal for a full hearing, and if the complainant asks the Commission to re consider that decision, the Commission could hold an open in-person hearing. The Commissioners could let the complainant and the respondent present arguments in person to the Commissioners on whether the case should proceed to the Tribunal for a full hearing. The parties could make their arguments based on the Commission\u2019s investigation file and anything else the parties wish to submit to it.\nThen the Commission would make its final decision on whether the case should\nbe referred to the Tribunal for a full hearing. The issue is a simple one. It should be decided promptly. Subsequently, if this procedure is adopted, then the Commissioners who preside at these resconsideration hearings, should be free to decide the question afresh i.e. to form their own opinion on whether the case should be prosecuted at the Tribunal.\n(c) To speed up the process of deciding whether a case will be sent to the Tribunal for a full hearing, it shouldn\u2019t be necessary for the case to be\nreviewed by all the Commissioners appointed to the Human rights Commission.\nSection 27(6) of the Human rights Code lets a panel of three Commissioners\nmake a decision. To move cases through the system more quickly, the Commission should have panels of three Commissioners decide whether to take a case to the Tribunal. If the panel of Commissioners decide not to refer\nthe case to the Tribunal for a full hearing, and if the complainant then asks for this decision to be reconsidered at an oral hearing, a panel of three different Commissioners should preside at the oral hearing.\nOption 6. Substantially Streamline the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal\nThe Human Rights Tribunal needs very substantial reform to simplify, speed\nup and de-formalize its procedures. The Tribunal is quite backlogged. It takes months to get a case on for hearing.\nMoreover, Tribunal hearings are extremely \u201cjudicialized\u201d and legalistic. Some defense lawyers, representing some organizations accused of discrimination, tie a hearing up for days and days with highly technical procedural objections. Oral argument on these objections can take hours or days. Then the hearing may be further delayed while the Tribunal has to rule on these objections and arguments.\nThe Tribunal couldn\u2019t now cope with an increase to its caseload. Options for\nimproving it include:\n(a) Appointing more permanent, full-time sitting members to the Tribunal,\nwho can hold hearing dates back to back. Too often, hearings now have to be\nspread out over a day here and a day there, over weeks, months or even years. This is in part because some Tribunal members are only part-time, and are tied up on other dates with other jobs. This option can require the Government to increase the Tribunal\u2019s funding.\n(b) The Tribunal\u2019s process for dealing with procedural motions is far too\njudicialized. It can be slower and more formalized than are some Courts. The\nstatus quo serves only parties who are interested in delaying the process and wearing down complainants. As a non-court tribunal, the Human Rights Tribunal is intended to be more expeditious and less formal than the Courts.\nThe Tribunal\u2019s procedures should be simplified and streamlined to, for example, require that all procedural motions be dealt with entirely in writing on a very expeditious time schedule. This eliminates the problem of the case being tied up for days of oral hearings on technical motions.\nIn very exceptional cases the Tribunal could agree to hold an oral hearing on procedural motions. In those cases, these motions could be confined to very limited timelines, e.g. thirty minutes per motion.\n(c) The Tribunal used to automatically produce and provide transcripts of\nall hearings. No doubt to save money, this was terminated in the mid 1990s.\nAs a result, unless the Tribunal orders that a recording of the hearing be made and transcribed, there is no record whatsoever of the formal hearings of the Tribunal.\nAs a middle ground to provide for a useful record at lower costs, the Tribunal could automatically audio-record all hearing. If a party believes a transcript is needed e.g. for an appeal, this recording would be available. Public funding should be available at least for those parties who cannot afford to order transcripts, and who can show that a transcript is truly needed.\nOption 7. Impose Enforceable Time-lines for Major Steps in the Human\nRights Process\nThe Human Rights Code could set specific deadlines within which important steps must be taken by the Commission or Tribunal after a human rights complaint is filed, e.g. assignment of a Commission investigation, rendering of a Commission decision on a reconsideration application. These deadlines can only be imposed if the Government gives the Human Rights Commission and Tribunal sufficient funding to let it meet those deadlines.\nNow, one of the only deadlines in the code is the requirement in section 41(5) that the Tribunal must render a decision in a case by 30 days after the end of the hearing. Too often the Tribunal doesn\u2019t meet this deadline. There are extreme cases where the Tribunal took years to render its decision.\nIf deadlines are imposed, a complainant should have an expeditious avenue to\nget them enforced. A respondent shouldn\u2019t be able to use these deadlines to get a complaint dismissed.\nOption 8. Improve Access to Legal Representation /Advice to Complainants\nA new system or new funding could be put in place to provide improved access\nto legal advice for human rights complainants when dealing with the Human\nRights Commission\u2019s investigation, mediation and review of a human rights\nThe Human Rights Commission can give out very general information but can\u2019t\ngive legal advice. Ontario\u2019s under-funded, over-extended Legal Aid Plan can\u2019t fill this gap now. In any event, it only serves the very poor. Few can afford to hire a lawyer for this. Some lawyers advise some clients without charge. Trade Unions can assist some unionized workers. The rest are at a disadvantage. This option has potentially significant budget implications. Implementing this option is no substitute for the other options identified here.\nOption 9. Significantly Expand Human Rights Remedies\nThe Code could be amended to provide for better, stronger remedies including\nbigger monetary compensation orders when a complainant\u2019s human rights have\nbeen violated. Historically, remedies ordered for human rights violations too often have been paltry. For example, section 41(1) of the code imposes an arbitrary $10,000 cap on monetary compensation for mental anguish due to\nthe violation of the complainant\u2019s human rights. It only permits such orders\nif the discrimination is proven to be willful or reckless.\nThe fact that human rights remedies are too often too limited can force legitimate discrimination victims to settle their case for too little. They can fear they won\u2019t fare much better at a hearing.\nMoreover, there is a pressing need for easier access to systemic and public interest remedies. Even though the Code\u2019s remedy powers are worded in broad terms, and the Supreme Court has spoken broadly about the need for such\nremedies, it is still too much of an up-hill battle to get effective systemic and public interest remedies.\nOption 10. Give Discrimination Victims More Time to Launch a Human Rights\nThe Code could be amended to give discrimination victims more time to launch\na human rights complaint, e.g. two years. Now section 34(1)(d) give the Human rights Commission a discretion to dismiss a human rights complaint if it was filed more than six months after the discrimination occurred, unless the Commission is satisfied that the delay was incurred in good faith and no substantial prejudice will result to any person affected by the delay. In sharp contrast to this short six-month deadline, people can wait fully several years before suing in court for many other reasons.\nOption 11. Make The Human Rights Commission Independent of Government\nThe Human Rights Commission could report directly to the Ontario Legislature, rather than a ministry of the Ontario Government. Now the Human Rights Commission is under the responsibility of Ontario\u2019s Ministry of the Attorney General. Previously it was under the supervision of the Ministry of Citizenship, and before that, the Ministry of Labour.\nIt has repeatedly been recommended that the Commission be made truly independent of the Ontario Government. An important part of the Commission\u2019s mandate is to investigate and prosecute human rights violations committed by the Ontario Government. The commission is now in a difficult position when it remains under the direct supervision of the very Government it must itself oversee.\nMoreover, Commissioners are now appointed through a purely political\nprocess. In place of this, an arms-length nominations/applications process\ncould be established akin to those used to advise the Government on judicial\nSUMMARY OF AODA ALLIANCE RESPONSE TO GOVERNMENT\u2019S PLAN TO ALTER HUMAN RIGHTS\nThe AODA Alliance opposes the Ontario Government\u2019s plans, announced on\nFebruary 20, 2006, to introduce legislation to require discrimination victims to\nfile their human rights complaints directly with the Human Rights Tribunal, and\nto by-pass the Human Rights Commission. The AODA Alliance supports the Government\u2019s goal of speeding up human rights enforcement. It believes, however that the Government\u2019s plan will make things worse, not better, because:\nIt is necessary to strengthen the Human Rights Commission, Ontario\u2019s public law enforcement agency for investigating and prosecuting human rights violations. Instead, the Government\u2019s plan substantially weakens the Commission, by largely taking away its mandate to investigate all non-frivolous human rights complaints within its jurisdiction that are filed with it in a timely fashion, and to prosecute those complaints it investigates, can\u2019t settle, and finds warrant a hearing before the Human Rights Tribunal.\nThe Government\u2019s plan takes away discrimination victims\u2019 important right to have a publicly funded investigation of their human rights complaint, and their right to have their case publicly prosecuted by the Human Rights Commission, if the Commission\u2019s investigation shows their complaint deserves a Tribunal hearing, and if the case can\u2019t be settled through negotiation. It largely privatizes human rights enforcement. It forces discrimination victims, like persons with disabilities, to investigate their own complaints. Few organizations will voluntarily cooperate with such investigations. The Government\u2019s plan also forces discrimination victims to hire their own lawyer to present their case to the Tribunal at long hearings. With no lawyer, a discrimination victim is completely out-matched. The organization complained against will often have a lawyer to vigorously oppose them. Now the Human Rights Commission can pay for expert witnesses at a Tribunal hearing. Under the Government\u2019s plan, discrimination victims will usually have to pay for that hefty expense.\nThe Government suggests it\u2019s eliminating the \u201cgatekeeper\u201d who decides whether a discrimination victim gets a hearing on his or her human rights complaint. However, the Government\u2019s plan doesn\u2019t eliminate the gate-keeping role. It just moves it from the Human Rights Commission to the Tribunal. Also, private lawyers and Legal Aid clinics will become gatekeepers, when they decide which human rights complainants they will or won\u2019t represent.\nThe Government says its plan implements two reports on human rights reform, one 15 years old and one 6 years old. Yet the Government\u2019s plan doesn\u2019t fulfill those report\u2019s important findings that a discrimination victim must have effective legal representation at a Tribunal hearing. Legal Aid serves only the very poor. Under-funded Legal Aid budgets aren\u2019t guaranteed year after year, and are already stretched beyond the limit. Even if the Government adds to Legal Aid this year, it is easily cut next year. Many discrimination victims aren\u2019t so severely poor as to qualify for Legal Aid, but still can\u2019t afford steep legal fees.\nThe Government vaguely said it will provide some new means for discrimination victims to get legal advice and help, but hasn\u2019t answered requests for details. If it creates a new community legal clinic to advise and represent human rights complainants, that clinic, unless given enormous funding, won\u2019t be able to represent at hearings all 2,400 human rights complainants who annually file a human rights complaint, and the many more who might wish to. That clinic will become another new \u201cgatekeeper\u201d. Unlike the Human Rights Commission, such a clinic cannot be taken to court to challenge its decision to turn away a human rights complaint. Unlike the Human Rights Commission, that clinic wouldn\u2019t have statutory powers to investigate discrimination claims.\nThe Government says this new system will be quicker. Yet its plan just moves the long line-up from the Human Rights Commission\u2019s door to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal door.\nIn 1982 Ontarians with disabilities fought for and won a place for persons with disabilities in the Human Rights Code. They won two important rights. The first is the right not to be discriminated against. The second is the right of discrimination victims with disabilities to have a public investigation of human rights complaints, and a public prosecution if they warrant a hearing. The Government\u2019s plan takes away that second right.\nThe Government\u2019s plans renege on its commitments when it negotiated the\nAccessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. They will weaken that new\ndisability legislation, for which persons with disabilities fought for a decade. In the 2003 election, Premier McGuinty promised to pass an AODA with effective enforcement. The disability community asked that the AODA have a new independent public enforcement agency. After that election, during 2004-5 negotiations over that legislation\u2019s contents, the Government said persons with disabilities don\u2019t need a new enforcement agency, since the Human Rights Commission investigates and prosecutes disability discrimination. After the disability community cheered the enactment of the AODA in 2005, it\u2019s unfair for the McGuinty Government to turn around and rip out most of the Human Rights Commission\u2019s enforcement teeth.\nSupporters of the Government\u2019s plan put out statistics about the Human Rights Commission. We don\u2019t share their interpretation of those statistics. More importantly, we agree that the system needs to be fixed. However, you don\u2019t strengthen the enforcement of human rights by weakening the human rights enforcement agency.\nSome who support the Government\u2019s plan argue that discrimination victims\nneed a human rights investigation that supports the claimant, whereas the Human Rights Commission now investigates to see if a human rights complaint has merit. Yet the Government\u2019s plans don\u2019t ensure a public investigation of each case. Moreover, an investigation is not supposed to be biased in favour of one side or the other. It should be an unbiased effort to get at the truth.\nPrevious Previous post: Attend Major Toronto Public Forum On Government\u2019s Plans To Weaken Human Rights Commission And Privatize Human Rights Enforcement\nNext Next post: April 4, 2006 \u2013 Toronto Star Columnist Calls AODA Alliance News Conference Speakers \u201cChicken Littles\u201d \u2013 and Other Developments",

        "raw_content": "Installation Mass Homily of Bishop Michael F. Burbidge\nThe following is the printed version; the video is online at youtube.com/arlingtondiocese\nUpon receiving the call informing me that I had been appointed the Bishop of Arlington, I did two things that, most likely, most bishops do on receiving such news. First, I found a way to pick myself up off the floor! Second, I went to the website to learn more about my new diocese. Upon doing so, I was so happy to see that the cathedral is named Saint Thomas More, who is also the patron saint of the Diocese.\nIn my family, there was always a close bond with Saint Thomas More, the same name of the all-boys Catholic High School in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia from which my father graduated. My father often said that in addition to receiving an excellent education, he and his fellow students were constantly challenged to imitate the courageous and faithful witness of Saint Thomas More, a lesson he passed on to my brother and me and his grandchildren.\nFor prudent reasons, the high school eventually closed, but what remained until the present day is the steadfast spirit of the alumni. Their motto, which appears on license plates and other items, is respectful and dear to their hearts: \"Saint Tommy More, forevermore!\"\nDear friends in the Diocese of Arlington and brothers and sisters in Christ, more than ever in these unsettling times, we need to reflect Saint Thomas More's courageous witness to the faith we profess. As \"God's Servants First,\" we are to bring the truth and joy of the Gospel into the public arena with conviction and always, in love. We are called to do so especially as we: protect the unborn and the sacredness of life at every stage; defend the dignity of each and every person without exception; safeguard our religious freedom; promote the sacredness of marriage as Jesus taught; and speak and act on behalf of those who are poor, vulnerable and in most need. Faithfulness to that call will not always be easy and there can often be a price to pay for not compromising our faith, including being labeled and rejected. That is why Saint Paul tells us today not to rely on our own resources but on the strength that God supplies. Call upon that help daily so that all of us can say that within our lives and our diocese, here is what you will see: the spirit, witness and faithful example of Saint Thomas More, forevermore!\nNow I know that right now in heaven my mother is saying to me that, \"having spent time talking about your father, you'd better also have a story about me\"-and I do-one that is true and most appropriate today as the Church honors Saint Nicholas, the one we so often associate with the gifts with which God has blessed us and whose spirit of giving we are called to imitate.\nMy mother spent the last year of her life in the nursing center compassionately operated by the Sisters of Saint Joseph, for whom I am ever grateful. While there, my mother made a new best friend named Ruth. Each day, they would help one another down the hall and make their way downstairs to the gift store. Daily, they would find another new gift (a trinket, an ornament or something else), only to give it away to another resident or family member (just ask my nieces and nephew). After seeing a constant flow of gifts, I finally had to check out the gift store-how big could it be in a facility like this? In fact, it was very small, not much larger than an average sitting room. Yet, each and every day, somehow, someway, my mother and her friend found a new gift in their midst.\nTo me, that is a beautiful image for all of us. In light of the trials and struggles in our world and very lives, God is always present, offering us gifts to behold and to share with one another. On this joyful day in the life of the Diocese, I am aware of so many gifts for which to be thankful:\nI am most grateful to Pope Francis for entrusting me with the pastoral care of this faith-filled and vibrant diocese. We are also thankful to the Holy Father for his recent Apostolic Letter at the closing of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, in which he tells us that, like any other gift, the mercy we receive must be shared, especially with our suffering brothers and sisters so that they may be sustained by the Father's compassionate and healing love.\nToday, I am especially thankful for the presence of the Holy Father's personal representative to the United States, the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Christophe Pierre. Thank you, Cardinal McCarrick, Cardinal Rigali and Cardinal Wuerl and brother bishops, for your fraternal support. We are thankful for the faithful service of my predecessors, Bishop Welsh (whose crosier I carry today) and Bishop Keating. In a special way, we thank you, Bishop Loverde, for the gift you have been and remain to this diocese!\nAnd to all who serve so well in this diocese: my brother priests, dear deacons, consecrated religious, seminarians, colleagues at the chancery, dear lay faithful including you, the wonderful young people in our diocese-thank you for the gifts you are to this local church.\nAnd today at this Mass, I express deep thanks to God for having blessed me with such loving parents and a wonderful brother whose children and grandchildren mean the world to me. And thank you, dear friends in the Diocese of Raleigh and Archdiocese of Philadelphia. You are like family to me, and I will be ever grateful for your love and support.\nAnd we are thankful for the most precious gift of all, the gift of God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the One who nourishes us and sustains us most especially in this Holy Eucharist.\nIt is He who teaches us how to move forward as a diocese, as He speaks to us in the Gospel. The Lord sends His disciples out in the company of one another to preach the Good News. He tells them to \"travel lightly\" and not to bring anything on the journey that would weigh them down. I do not believe Jesus was simply talking about material things but rather was telling His disciples and all of us to leave behind any anxiety, fear, doubt or a false independence and, thus, to rely on and trust in Him as we repeat daily: \"Here I am Lord, I come to do your will.\"\nDear friends in Christ, with the gift of the Holy Eucharist, the help of Mary our Mother, the intercession of Saint Thomas More and Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, may we go forth recognizing and sharing God's gifts; imitating the courageous and faithful witness of Saint Thomas More, forevermore, always with the strength the Lord supplies so that we may walk humbly with our God and \"travel lightly\" today and always. Amen.",

Under a new proposal made by city supervisor David Chiu, San Francisco would ban the sale of plastic water bottles at any events on public land with more than 100 people. The proposed ordinance would also prevent the city from spending any public money on bottled water.\n\u201cGiven that San Franciscans can access clean and inexpensive water out of our taps, we need to wean ourselves off our recent addiction to plastic water bottles,\u201d Chiu said. \u201cI hope San Francisco can again lead the way, by drinking water without harming the environment or the bottom line.\u201d\nThe proposal does have exemptions \u2013 for example, stores operating on private property could still sell bottled water, and races and charity walkathon events would not face restrictions. A first offense would bring a fine of up to $500. The proposal includes a sort of sliding scale, too, with provisions that could reduce sales over time. Vendors applying for future permits, for instance, to sell items on city streets might have to agree to not sell plastic water bottles.\nUnsurprisingly, there are critics of the proposal, like the American Beverage Association (ABA), which represents companies like Coca-Cola (which produces Dasani water). \u201cThe consumer should have a choice on how they drink their water,\u201d ABA spokeswoman Kate Krebs recently told the San Francisco Examiner.\nSan Francisco\u2019s board of supervisors is expected to vote on the proposal by February. If approved, San Francisco will join Concord, MA, in enacting a plastic water bottle ban.",

        "raw_content": "Functionalism and Indian English Fiction : From Cradle to Grave (Hardbound)\nRituals and festivals form an integral part of every society, whether ancient or modern. Indian English fiction has shown a capacity to accommodate a wide range of concerns. Rituals and ceremonies associated with different religions, cultural and ethnic groups, so characteristic of Indian society, have been sensitively and effectively portrayed by many Indian writers. They give the reader picturesque glimpses of the rituals and practices. While some writers concentrate on the common rituals and practices, others have tried to bring to light those customs and practices which are unique to a particular community. The book Functionalism and Indian English Fiction: From Cradle to Grave brings out the functional significance of rituals and ceremonies associated with different phases of human life as analysed in some of the works of Indian English fiction. It brings out the similarities, differences and the gradual process by which certain practices are given up in favour of others, or are modified in consonance with the changing cultural milieu represented in literature. The important works of major Indian fiction writers like R.K. Narayan, Mulk Raj Anand, Arundhati Roy, Anita Desai, Kamala Markandaya, U.R. Anantha Murthy, Manohan Malgnonkar, Muhammad Basheer, Kavery Nambisan, Rohinton Mistry and others have been studied to give the book a wide coverage. Drawing from anthropologists/ sociologists like Durkheim, Malinowsky, and psychologists like Freud, the functionalism as well as the absorbing religio-mythical and socio-cultural changes have been highlighted here. The subject matter of the book has been divided into six inculcating chapters including An Overview which throw light on various aspects of functionalism in fiction and describe the inextricable links that Indian English fiction has with customs, traditions, beliefs, etc. A rich Bibliography has been provided for detailed further reading. The book will be useful to students and teachers of Indian English fiction and upcoming scholars focusing on this area.\nSunitha Srinivas C., M.A. (English) and Ph.D. from the University of Calicut, is presently working as a Lecturer in Govt.

        "raw_content": "Gender and Culture in Works of Select Women Novelists of Indian Sub-Continent (Hardbound)\nWomen\u2019s writings in the present world have made a deep impact on the social and cultural ambience. Women\u2019s literature is now perceived as an individual entity, bringing women\u2019s consciousness, experiences and values in the act of reading. Literatures produced by women exhibit the subjects, motifs and problems exploring their urge for self-definitions, at times by flouting the structured norms of propriety as well as discarding the prescribed norms of gender relations. The novels that have been chosen for study are: Difficult Daughters, A Married Woman and Home by Manju Kapur; The Crow Eaters, Ice-Candy-Man, The Pakistani Bride, An American Brat and Water by Bapsi Sidhwa; and Lajja by Taslima Nasrin. The work of these three women novelists focuses on the area of contention between hegemonic values and the simultaneous changes transmuting women\u2019s consciousness, represented as a marginalized section in their own textual narratives. The underlining theme in the textual construction of the three novelists is the Partition holocaust. These writers centre on the myriad meanings that Partition manifested for the different communalist discourses, and have highlighted the marginalized status of women within the socio-political framework of the Partition process. The book analyses women characters as represented in the work of the three novelists\u2014their mental, social, emotional and physical abuse, with reference to the tragedy of Partition and in the political and social extremity observed in the three nations. The work also analyses the reason for gender inequalities and injustices which exist in society. The study focuses on culture and its various ways of assigning different roles, responses, and attributes to the male and female. The book assesses the emergence of women writers in the Indian subcontinent; studies how Manju Kapur, Bapsi Sidhwa and Taslima Nasrin have responded to Partition and all the trauma associated with it; comprehends the psyche of female characters their sexual urges; and studies the female characters in pain, anguish, vulnerability, abuse and sufferings. It discusses not only the female psyche but also women\u2019s encounter with men and vice versa, providing an in-depth analysis of the female world. The conclusion provided at the end is the assimilation and incorporation of the main theory that the work envisages. The book will be useful for the students of English literature, women\u2019s literature and researchers in these fields.\nLalima Chakraverty holds a Ph.D. degree in English literature from Patna University.

        "raw_content": "Decline should not be seen as a sign of failure\nBy Contributor on June 8, 2018 in Opinion 2\nRather than stigmatised, decline needs to be recognised as part of a life-course approach to ageing well, writes Felicity Chapman.\nMuch of the discourse around \u2018ageing well\u2019 resists depictions of decline or frailty because it is seen to feed into a negative view about ageing and fuel ageist attitudes. Instead, positive views about age are promoted that encourage people to believe in their strengths and assert their right to health and wellbeing no matter what their age.\nI am not suggesting a move away from empowering older adults to feel good about themselves and be as healthy as possible. But I caution against an approach that leaves little room for reality and implies we can prevent decline.\nWe need a paradigm that more strongly incorporates ageing well with experiences where people can no longer be as active as they want to be and are for all intents and purposes frail and highly dependant. What do we do when after adjusting and treating as much as possible we simply can\u2019t live the type of life that we want to?\nI am concerned at how an overemphasis on health and prevention might rob us of peace of mind in our latter days.\nMedical science \u2013 as good as it is \u2013 can seduce us into thinking that we can control and prevent everything. And our youth focused society fuels a fear about \u2018old age\u2019 and natural decline.\nIt\u2019s perfectly normal to want health and independence and we should seek that \u2013 at any age. But the fact is that from the moment we are born we are ageing and at some point, if it is a natural process, our bodies will deteriorate to the point of death. How can this process not be one related to decline?\nAgeing well is about holding onto health and independence but it is also about knowing when and how to let it go. If we cling to it at all costs it can subtract from our quality of life and how we feel about ourselves.\nEastern philosophies have a lot to teach us about letting go, and mindfulness-based interventions are now widely used in psychology, but I find that the current group of over 85 year olds have their own wisdom to share.\nMy observation is that collectively this group has a very refreshing take on the realities of life and death. They appear to have this mix of gratitude, pragmatism, steely resilience and acceptance that I find humbling and instructive because of how it seems to cultivate contentment. It truly is an honour to hear their stories and facilitate dignity and peace in their final days.\nI\u2019m not suggesting that we pretend that losing our health and ultimately life is okay with us. This process is often one that admits to fear and allows for grief. I am simply saying that the path toward death, that we are all on, means that most of us will decline to the point of frailty and ageing well needs to account for this trajectory.\nIf we don\u2019t encourage people to embrace the reality that ageing does in fact relate to decline then we actually set people up to see themselves as a failure when decline becomes obvious. This can make us more susceptible to internalised ageism, depressive symptoms and flies in the face of the tenets of positive ageing.\nThere is nothing more important to mental health than the way we appraise ourselves and our situation. At its core, ageing well should be about having a positive self-image and being able to find quality and meaning in life right to the very end. Our identity does not have to be attached to what we can and can\u2019t do.\nThe freshly established national anti-ageism campaign EveryAGE Counts from the Benevolent Society has a slogan: \u201cStop discriminating against our future selves,\u201d which can equally be applied to our understanding of ageing well.\nWe need to make sure that the well-meaning tenets of positive ageing don\u2019t entrap us into resisting and preventing decline at every turn. This is likely to fuel a sense of negativity in relation to age and be a road block to peace of mind.\nIt\u2019s about fostering a sense of value, purpose and choice no matter what age you are. Ageing well is a state of mind more than one of body and promoting this sense of value even with the presence of decline is a social responsibility.\nValuing older adults and being senior friendly is also ensuring that words and concepts are inclusive and empowering. Let\u2019s renovate our understanding of ageing well to include decline \u2013 for the sake of the current group of over 85 year olds and for our future selves.\nFelicity Chapman is a clinical social worker and the author of Counselling and Psychotherapy with Older People in Care: A Support Guide, which was published earlier this year.\neveryage-counts, felicity-chapman, mental-health\nEveryAGE Counts, Felicity chapman, mental-health, slider\nNoticeboard: Opal unveils new facility\n2 Responses to Decline should not be seen as a sign of failure\nFelicity, while recently at uni, I looked at ageing with addictions among a group of people who are definitely in a spiral of decline but continue to live at home, often with minimal support. I argued that counselling provided an opportunity to support them living at home no matter the choice. Declining but not necessarily a failure!!\nYour opinion piece resonates well with the idea that decline needs to be viewed within the context of a life course (as does ageing with addictions). There is too much emphasis on independence, wellness, happiness, images of happy retired people, etc. and I would argue, isolation and loneliness as something to rescue people from. YES, we need a new paradigm of ageing with decline (inc ageing with addictions!) where the focus remains on supporting people who are ageing whatever the decline, natural or otherwise. I thought that was the purpose of home care packages, for example. I\u2019m also critical of the concept of independence as we are naturally people who live in interdependent relationships particularly as we age and need someone else to support us no matter how determined or resilient we are about letting in help.\nThe reality of ageing with decline needs to embraced and celebrated! That decline is associated with the physical, social and mental health of a person. That\u2019s reality! We can never be the person we once were but we can be someone who is still ageing and living the best possible life, no matter what!\nMy dissertation attempted to look at the concept and policy of positive ageing from the position of older people with addictions. It was a struggle to find any literature, let alone any discussion about ageing with addictions.\nYES to ageing well even in decline!\nJudy Smith June 17, 2018 at 11:31 pm #\nHi. Thanks for writing this so eloquently. The message resonates with me on so many levels. I\u2019m nearly 70. I still work part time. My aim is for quality of life not quantity. I really want to be \u201cat peace\u201d with myself as I age. I don\u2019t want to hate my body and what it\u2019s doing I want to maintain a loving relationship with it. I find myself increasingly resenting health professionals who seem to think they have a right to tell me how to live my life. Statements like you need to learn to live with your pain incense me.

        "raw_content": "Some cars rooted in our Heritage\nFOR this Heritage Day we take a look back down Memory Lane. We have compiled a list of some of the most iconic cars to have ever roamed our streets over the years. Which of these have you owned? Write to us and let us know.\nToyota Conquest/Tazz\nThe Sixth Generation five-door hatchback that was made in South Africa was marketed as the Toyota Conquest. Production began in October 1988, with a 1.3-litre 53kW engine. The Twin Cam version of this model was also sold as the RSi Twin Cam; it developed 96kW.\nLater on, in October 1996 an entry-level model called the Toyota Conquest Tazz appeared. This model had a very low equipment level, originally only available in a four-speed manual and was missing things such as a rear windshield wiper and a cigarette lighter. However, the Tazz received a twin-tip exhaust and body-coloured bumpers. A five-speed became available three years later. From October 2000 the car received a light facelift with a more ovoid front-end treatment and the name was simply changed to, Toyota Tazz. This model continued to be built until the 5th July, 2006.\nThe Hilux started production in March 1968 as the RN10 in short-wheelbase form with a 1.5-litre engine, producing 57kW in the Japanese market spec, and in Japan it was available at Toyota Japan dealership retail chains called, Toyota Store. This was upgraded to a 1.6-litre inline-four engine in February 1971.The modification to the engine was enough for a claimed 130km/h top speed.\nIn April 1969, a long-wheelbase version was added to the range. The short-wheelbase version also continued in production for many more years. The long-wheelbase version was not sold on the North American market until 1972. Here, in South Africa, we really fell in love with the Fourth Generation Hilux, which was introduced in 1983. Toyota introduced a new generation of the Hilux in most markets in late 1988 but the Fourth Generation remained in production until 1997 in South Africa. Toyota says this was due to South African \"content laws,\" which made it cheaper to continue to produce the Fourth Generation Hilux, rather than to retool the plant for the Fifth Generation.\nThe Volkswagen Citi Golf was produced by Volkswagen in South Africa from 1984 until the 21st August 2009. It was a face-lifted version of the original Volkswagen Golf Mk1 hatchback, which ceased production in Germany in 1983. The car was only produced with right-hand-drive.\nWhen Volkswagen released the Golf Mk1 in 1974, the car was an overnight success. It was easy and economical to drive with exceptionally good handling compared to other small hatchbacks of the time. It was also easy and inexpensive to maintain. Volkswagen South Africa started assembly of the Golf Mk1 in 1978. When the Golf Mk2 was launched in 1984, VW South Africa found itself falling short of a demand for a small, affordable entry level car, as the Golf Mk2 was bigger and somewhat more expensive than its predecessor. The best viable option for VW South Africa was to continue producing some variant of the Mk1 to fill the gap in the market, as they already had all the tooling in place at the VW assembly plant in Uitenhage.\nIntroduced in 1967, the HiAce was offered as a cab over pickup, delivery van, and a stretched commuter vehicle. It was also called the HiAce Commercial in camper-van configuration. Here, in South Africa, we know them as taxis. They pester us on the roads and haunt us at every turn but they are a huge part of our country\u2019s heritage. They form part of a thriving business, which services many a South African citizen. Today we know the HiAce as the Toyota Quantum.\nThe First Generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 with the split windshield, informally called the Microbus, Split screen or Splittie among modern fans, was produced from the 8th March 1950 through the end of the 1967 model year. From 1950 to 1956, the T1 (not called that at the time) was built in Wolfsburg; from 1956, it was built at the completely new Transporter factory in Hanover. Like the Beetle, the first Transporters used the 1100 Volkswagen air-cooled engine.\nThe Third Generation was introduced in 1979 and was produced up until 1992. It was the last Volkswagen van to use an air-cooled engine. Today, the Volkswagen T6 features some of the latest technological advancements in both practicality and mechanical areas. It is seen as a luxury van here, in South Africa.\nThe Ox wagon\nThe Voortrekkers used the wagons during the Great Trek north and north-east from the Cape Colony in the 1830s and 1840s. Often, the wagons were employed as a mobile fortification called a laager, such as was the case at the Battle of Blood River.\nAfter the discovery of gold in the Barberton area in 1881, Ox wagons were used to bring in supplies from former Louren\u00e7o Marques. James Percy FitzPatrick worked on those Ox wagons and described them in his famous 1907 book, Jock of the Bushveld.\nAuto Dealer \u00bb Motoring \u00bb Articles \u00bb Latest News \u00bb Some cars rooted in our Heritage",

        "raw_content": "This Is Our Faith (Revised and Updated Edition)\nA Catholic Catechism for Adults\nMore Adult Faith Formation, Religious Education, Supplemental Texts, Theology\nThis Is Our Faith: A Catholic Catechism for Adults is a bestselling overview of the faith for those preparing entry into the Church, as well as for both newly initiated and lifelong Catholics who wish to understand Church teachings more clearly. This revised and updated edition strengthens one of the strongest endorsements of the book: that it communicates important Church teachings in an engaging and understandable manner.\nRevised and updated in collaboration with longtime RCIA leaders, this new edition of This Is Our Faith has been refreshed with two new chapters, with language and style more in line with the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and with updated cultural and historical references.\nThe text maintains the popular book\u2019s accessible tone and easy-to-follow organization, following the four pillars of the Catechism:\ncelebration of the sacraments, liturgy, and the Paschal Mystery\nlife in Christ: foundations of Catholic morality\nChapters in each of the four parts lead with a thought-provoking story that connects the reader to important teachings, which are then communicated through an easy-to-understand question-and-answer format. Discussion questions and suggestions for additional reading are included for RCIA and parish adult-education groups wishing to explore Church teachings in a group environment.\nThis Is Our Faith provides a solid, clear presentation of the Catholic faith for adults at any stage in their faith journey.\n\"An inviting, accessible, complete explanation of the Catholic faith.\"\n\"This book is gold. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever read a more inviting, accessible, complete explanation of the Catholic faith. This is Our Faith is more than a catechism; it is an invitation to believe! Pennock explains the faith with the patience of an experienced fellow traveler on the way to God. With a conversational style that combines question-and-answer with scripture reflection, prayer, and examples from the saints and human experience, he draws the reader into a living understanding of the faith. I highly recommend this to everyone with questions, wherever they are on their journey. It belongs on every Catholic\u2019s bookshelf.\"\nCodeveloper and author of The Great Adventure Catholic Bible Study program\n\"A valuable resource in faith formation for decades.\"\n\"This Is Our Faith has been a valuable resource in faith formation for decades and this new edition will solidify its place on the book shelves of parish leaders, catechists, and catechumens alike for years to come. I have always admired the work of Michael Pennock and his ability to make complex theological concepts accessible to beginners and those hungry to learn more about our Catholic faith.\"\nCreator of TheReligionTeacher.com\nAuthor of 31 Days to Becoming a Better Religious Educator\n\"Thorough yet never overwhelming.\"\n\"We have used This Is Our Faith with our catechumenates for ten years. Our RCIA team unanimously decided there is still no better catechism for our weekly RCIA sessions than This Is Our Faith. We especially like that it matches the general structure of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and references it throughout. In addition, each chapter works wonderfully with our ninety-minute weekly sessions. The number of chapters corresponds quite well with the period from early September to Easter. The topics in This Is Our Faith are covered thoroughly yet are never overwhelming. The writing is crisp and accessible.\"\nHoly Eucharist Church in Cherry Hill, New Jersey\n\"Still the first book I go to for new seekers.\"\n\"After more than thirty years in adult faith formation ministry, This Is Our Faith is still the first book I go to for new seekers, no matter their status. From the uncatechized to the fully initiated and practicing, there is something for everyone in This Is Our Faith\u2014something accessible, something inviting, something understandable, something encouraging, and something wonderful!\"\nMartha Danks-Ferguson\nSt. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in Fresno, California\nThe Faith We Profess\nThe Seeker's Catechism",

        "raw_content": "Mourners hear tributes to murdered couple\nThe funeral of Michael and Marjorie Cawdery. Picture Mark Marlow/pacemaker press\nWarm tributes were paid to murdered Portadown couple Michael and Marjorie Cawdery at a joint funeral service today (Thursday).\nMarjorie was described as \u201ckind\u201d and \u201clovely\u201d and her husband Michael as possessing \u201ca bright and inquisitive mind\u201d.\nMarjorie and Michael Cawdery\nThe couple, both aged 83, were murdered in their Upper Ramone Park home on May 26. They had been married for more than 55 years.\nThe service in Drumcree Parish Church was conducted by rector, the Rev Gary Galway.\nA large number of mourners, from as far away as the USA, Isle of Man, Britain and many parts of Ireland, attended the service along with members of the close family circle.\nFamily members included Michael\u2019s brother Paddy, his sister Sally and Marjorie\u2019s brother Ned, as well as the couple\u2019s three children Shirley, Wendy and Graham, son-in-laws Brian and Charles, and four grandchildren, Peter, Calum, Alex and Tasha.\nColin Wilkins, Marjorie\u2019s nephew, delivered a eulogy, describing Marjorie as \u201cone of the most lovable people that I will ever know. The best words to describe Marjorie are \u2018kind\u2019 and \u2018lovely\u2019 \u2013 and her greatest quality -loving kindness.\n\u201cMarjorie was an incredibly soft-hearted, patient and generous person. She was a delight to be around. She loved life and made everyone around her happy, with her positive sense of fun \u2013 and the fact that she was always more interested in other people rather than herself. Nobody who knew Marjorie will ever forget how special she was. We will carry memories of her in our hearts for ever.\u201d\nIn his eulogy for his brother, Paddy said that Michael \u201cpossessed a bright and inquisitive mind. To the end, he was engaged in using his skills to the benefit of others through the medical and veterinary communities in Britain and Ireland\u201d.\nThe Rev Galway also paid tribute to the couple in his address saying, \u201cA person once said that it is not words but actions that speak louder and to witness love in action is a beautiful thing.\n\u201cI have witnessed this love in action through the family, through friends, through the church and through the community and I have to say it is beautiful. No one can dispute that a horrible act was committed and the family have been devastated by such an act, but they remain resilient and continue to be such a comfort and strength to each other.\n\u201cMy heart and the heart of this community goes out to the family and I know from speaking to many within our church and in the local community who are in faith, that they continue to uphold the family in their prayers.\u201d\nThe service included the hymn Abide with Me marking Michael\u2019s early education at Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, and Morning Has Broken, which was a favourite of Marjorie\u2019s.\nThe family have expressed their gratitude to the community in Upper Ramone Park and throughout Portadown and wider afield for their expressions of condolence and simple acts of remembrance such as the leaving of flowers.\nThey said, \u201cSupport to the family has also been provided by members of Drumcree Parish Church which is attended by Shirley, the couple\u2019s elder daughter, and for this we are very grateful.\n\u201cWe are still deeply shocked by the terrible events of 26th May and it will take time to accept them. But we are pleased that so many people have contacted us to pay tribute to Michael, a man of enormous intellect and hands-on ability who never ceased learning, and Marjorie, his devoted wife and partner for over 55 years. We remember her as a gentle, warm and humorous mother and grandmother.\u201d\nMichael, a veterinary surgeon, was educated at Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, and Trinity College, Dublin. He gained other qualifications including from London School of Tropical Medicine and the Open University.\nHis 50 years of veterinary service in Ireland was recognised by the awarding of a special medal by the Veterinary Council of Ireland in 2011.\nMarjorie was educated at Wesley College, Dublin, and the couple were married in 1962 in Entebbe, Uganda. They spent their early married life in Uganda and both maintained a deep love for East Africa throughout their lives.\nMichael had a long career in veterinary research, first in East Africa and then from 1965 to 1989 with Teagasc, the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority.\nHe took early retirement and became an independent veterinary medicine consultant.\nHe wrote a number of seminal papers which are still referred to in the present day.\nFollowing the funeral, there was a private committal at Roselawn Crematorium.",

        "raw_content": "Plaintiff in Vioxx Case Rests after Widow Testifies\nAfter calling a woman suing Merck & Co. to testify about the 2001 fatal heart attack of her husband, plaintiff attorneys in the first federal Vioxx trial rested their case.\nThe woman, Evelyn Irvin Plunkett, told jurors her husband took Vioxx to relieve back pain, but was a healthy, active man who displayed no signs of heart disease before his death.\nJurors also watched the video testimony of Edward Scolnick, a former top Merck scientist who wrote emails in 2000 saying in regard to Vioxx study results that the \u201cCV events are clearly there\u201d and that the problems were \u201cmechanism-based as we feared\u201d they were. Dr. Scolnick said his actions were always guided by his concern about patient safety.\nIn this case, being heard by Judge Eldon E. Fallon of U.S. District Court in New Orleans, but being tried in Houston post-hurricane, attorneys for the plaintiff argued that Merck knew Vioxx could cause heart attacks and strokes years before the Whitehouse Station, N.J., drug maker withdrew the drug last year, and failed to warn of the risks.\nMerck withdrew the drug after a study linked Vioxx to an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients taking it for 18 months or longer.\nMerck in the case has argued it acted in full compliance with regulatory guidelines, and said it rigorously tested Vioxx before and while it was on the market.\nMerck lost the first Vioxx liability trial a few months ago when a Texas jury in a state case awarded $253.4 million to a widow of a man who died while taking Vioxx. The award will likely be reduced to $26 million under state damage caps. The drug company last month scored a victory in a case heard in Atlantic City, N.J. Analysts have estimated Merck\u2019s potential liability for Vioxx at as much as $50 billion.\nIn the current case, Mr. Irvin took the drug intermittently for less than a month. Experts called by the plaintiff said Vioxx posed cardiovascular risks in the short term, which Merck denied. All four of Mr. Irvin\u2019s grown children, his boss and a friend have testified in the trial.\nMerck opened its defense at the end of the day by calling rheumatologist and internal-medicine physician David Silver, an associate professor at UCLA, who told jurors of the dangers of older painkillers and explained the mechanism of Vioxx.",

Is it possible that we have perhaps lost touch with our values?\u2026 Yes, I know \u2013 to ask such questions, means to commit a crime\u2026[But) there\u2019s nothing worse than to remain quiet out of convenience.\u201d\n(Moritz de Hadeln shows claws against the permanent criticism, that the Berlinale is too servile to Hollywood.)\nHomage 1994: Sophia Loren\nStrengthened self-confidence of European film\nThe decision issue for the film industry in the previous year were the GATT negotiations, which were intended to put trade in cultural products on a new footing. When it came to film, many observers believed this to be a fateful decision on the integrity of European cinema in opposition to the economic superiority of Hollywood. The American negotiator Jack Valenti hadn\u2019t been able to push through all points of his agenda, and so the mood at this Berlinale was marked by the strengthened self-confidence in European film. At the same time, European discussions would often descend into protectionism. On the fringe of the festival a conference took place at which European filmmakers and media policymakers agreed upon a 15-point catalogue on the \u201crescue\u201d of European film.\nAnd so special attention was lavished on the European films in the festival programme and, indeed, this year they cut a good profile. Ken Loach\u2019s Ladybird, Ladybird, Krzystof Kieslowski\u2019s Trzy kolory: Bia\u0142y | Three Colours: White, Alain Resnais\u2019 double feature Smoking - No Smoking and Jim Sheridan\u2019s Golden Bear winner In the Name of the Father were true festival films \u2013 grand, passionate, narrative cinema. In the other sections too, European films provided plenty of material for discussion. Eric Rohmer\u2019s L\u2019Arbre, le Mairie et la M\u00e9diathek | The Tree, The Mayor and the Mediatheque, Jacquette Rivette\u2019s Jeanne La Pucelle and the raw Irish entry High Boot Benny by Joe Comerford were outstanding works shown at the Forum.\n\u201cThat two totally different directors like Sheridan and Comerford at the end of the day offer the same conclusions and send their heroes off to fight, is characteristic of the mood amongs the intellectuals of the country,\u201d wrote the former Berlinale director Wolf Donner in the \u201cFrankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung\u201d on In the Name of the Father and High Boot Benny. Such thematic interconnections between the sections were many this year. With so much diversity, seldom before had the Berlinale left one with such a forceful impression.\nGay and lesbian demonstrators in front of Zoo-Palast\nBerlinale at 100%: Diversity, quality, discoveries and a wide open window to the East\nThe Forum and Panorama even managed to keep open the window to the East with a \u201cCountry Focus Mongolia\u201d (Forum) and the \u201cView to the East\u201d (Panorama), without stepping on one another\u2019s feet. Kira Muratova\u2019s surreal, light comedy Uvletschenja | Passions and Nikita Michalkov\u2019s long-term observation Anna: 6-18 in the Panorama, Vitalij Kanjewski\u2019s Nous, Les enfants du vingti\u00e8me si\u00e8cle | We, the Children of the 20th Century and B\u00e9la Tarr\u2019s powerful, monolithic opus S\u00e1t\u00e1ntang\u00f3 | Satan's Tango in the Forum, plus Aleksandr Sokurov\u2019s Tikhiye stranitsy | Whispering Pages and Semyon Aranovich\u2019s God Sobaki | The Year of a Dog in the Competition: wWhat was begun in one place was taken up in another, it appeared. Themes reappeared, images were repeated, the dream of one film could be the awakening of another. Spread across the festival, Eastern European cinema impressed and shocked with class and radicalism.\nAfter the convincing previous year, the 1994 Berlinale was a true success. In the eyes of most observers it had everything that a good festival needed: a large number of outstanding films, thematic focuses, regional profiles. The stars showed up \u2013 besides the directors and stars of the Competition, they included Samuel Fuller, Bernardo Betrolucci, Liv Ullmann, Isabella Rossellini and ahead of everyone else and omnipresent: Sophia Loren, who was honoured for her lifework with a Honorary Golden Bear. There were also several tangible surprises: such as Pas tr\u00e9s Catholique | Something Fishy by the French Tonie Marshall in the Competition, but especially the Cuban comedy Fresa y Chocolate | Strawberry and Chocolate which casually and with bounce portrays the fears and taboos of contemporary Cuba and received the Special Prize of the jury. The big discovery in the Panorama was Linda Fiorentino, the lead actress in John Dahl\u2019s neo-noire thriller The Last Seduction.\nBears are loose in the Kinderfilmfest\nIn the Kinderfilmfest, an Australian film was a great surprise: In Mathilda Bell David Elfick tells the story of a girl whose family is forced to swap the raw paradise of the Australian heartland for the bleakness of the big city. The film thrilled the audience, the press and the film industry alike. Elfick\u2019s film was the first winner of the Crystal Bear, the newly created official prize which was to be presented by the Child\u2019s Jury from then on \u2013 a sign of appreciation for the work of the young jurors, but also of the increasing significance of the Kinderfilmfest.\nAt this Berlinale the Forum again offered the privilege of being able to see films that reject any commercial compromise: three, four, ten-hour works, that give their stories the space that they require, and the viewers the pleasure of being able to watch images at work. Besides B\u00e9la Tarr\u2019s S\u00e1t\u00e1nt\u00e1ngo were two German documentaries: Barbara and Winfried Junge\u2019s Das Leben des J\u00fcrgen von Golzow and Volker Koepp\u2019s Die Wismut. Just here, in dealing with East German reality, through hast and ignorance, so much had already been destroyed.\nThe festival's budget no longer fits its status\nThe success of this Berlinale was all the more surprising, since it had had to cope with drastic budget. After suffering from across the board budget cuts in culture, the latest reduction of 500,000 deutschmarks was a serious threat to the festival. With a permanent staff of just eight people, in terms of infrastructure, the festival was a \u201cmidget\u201d among the festivals. Another problem was the fact that the Berlinale still had no festival centre \u2013 it lived by \u201csubletting\u201d, which became increasingly risky and expensive for such a large festival.\nThe meagre facilities of the Berlinale in comparison to other festivals, was a permanent problem and stood in contrast to its growing international importance. Under the management of Beki Probst, the film market had developed into one of the most important marketplaces for the European film industry and the Berlinale was, according to a survey, for producers, the most important festival after Cannes \u2013 ahead of Venice.\nThe debate was about the public valuation of culture and the fact that well-intentioned speeches too seldom led to action, or in other words, money. The federal government and Berlin would shift responsibility back and forth to one another. There were also constraints of infrastructure, which at the end of the day had to do with political assumptions. Sponsoring as a source of income was still underdeveloped and was to gain in significance in the coming years. And perhaps it was during this \"meantime\" that Moritz de Hadeln first dreamed of moving the festival to Potsdamer Platz \u2013 such as the time when he showed Sophia Loren the red Infobox which documented the construction of the \u201cNew Berlin\u201d.",

        "raw_content": "100. The Velveteen Rabbit\nWritten By: Margery Williams\nIllustrated By: William Nicholson\nThe Velveteen Rabbit is a story of love between a child and his toy. While the boy is distracted for a time with flashier, mechanical toys, eventually the rabbit becomes his favorite. The rabbit is told, during the course of the story that if a toy becomes loved enough by his child he can become real. One day the boy becomes terribly sick and is sent off to the seaside, and the doctor orders all of his toys to be destroyed. As this is about to happen, the Velveteen Rabbit cries real tears, and a fairy comes to take him away and make him real. This book is one of the original tales of the bond between child and toy that has spawned so many of our favorite stories. Movies like Toy Story have their roots in The Velveteen Rabbit. The bond between child and toy is something special, especially at a young age when the child\u2019s vivid imagination can make the toy seem more real than not. This story captures that feeling beautifully.\nWritten By: Beatrix Potter\nIllustrated By: Beatrix Potter\nThis is one of the best examples of classic children\u2019s literature you will ever find. The book was originally written in 1893 and after years of rejection it was finally published in 1901 after which it enjoyed massive success. Over the years the book has sold more than 45 million copies, making it not only one of the most popular children\u2019s books, but one of the most popular books of all time period. The story focuses on a family of rabbits, particularly Peter Rabbit. Peter is always getting into trouble, messing around with Mr. Macgregor\u2019s garden. This is an adventure tale about what happens when you push boundaries too far. Peter is told by his mother that he\u2019s not allowed to go in the garden, indeed that his father was put into a pie by Mrs. MacGregor, but he goes anyway and nearly pays the price, narrowly escaping with his life.\n98. The Real Mother Goose\nThe Real Mother Goose is a collection of nursery rhymes that date back over 500 years. Nobody knows who wrote them originally, and it is very likely that many simply evolved with folklore from generation to generation for centuries. This particular collection features childhood staples like: Little Jack Horner, The Mouse and the Clock, Hush-a-Bye, Hot Cross Buns, Old Mother Hubbard, and Pat-a-Cake. These rhymes have been part of growing up for centuries and this quality collection was compiled in 1916. Every house needs a book of Mother Goose nusery rhymes.\n97. Curious George\nWritten by: Hans Augusto Rey and Margret Rey\nCurious George is a series of children\u2019s books featuring a lovable yet mischievous chimp named George and his pal known as The Man in the Yellow Hat. The book series has spawned a major motion picture, television series, and an interactive website on PBS Kids. The original series includes seven very successful books published between 1941 and 1966. Since the passing of the series\u2019 creators the brand has lived on in various forms, including the movie, a video game, a PBS animated series, and a live performance based on the animated series currently rumored to be in development. This is one of the most popular children\u2019s literature properties ever and deserving of its spot in our top 20 for this age group.\n96. Goodnight Moon\nWritten by: Margaret Wise Brown\nIllustrated By: Clement Hurd\nGoodnight Moon was first published in 1947 and has been a bedtime story staple ever since. The story is told in the form of a rhyming poem and describes the bedtime of an anthropomorphic rabbit. In the 1940s the book was selling around 1,500 annually, but that slowly increased throughout the decades to 20,000 and more sold per year, the book has sold well over 4 million copies over the years. Goodnight Moon isn\u2019t just a story, it\u2019s also a very simple ritual, and studies have shown that having a bedtime ritual is one of the most effective ways to get children to sleep, making the book more than just another great story, but a useful parenting tool.\nWritten and Illustrated by: Don Freeman\nCorduroy was written with a purpose, to communicate basic values, while providing the reader a juxtaposition of the luxury of department stores to the more basic life lived by most people. The book was published in 1968 after being shopped around to and rejected by multiple publishers. In 1978 the sequel, \u201cA Pocket for Corduroy\u201d was published as well. The 2006 story Corduroy Lost and Found was penned by a different children\u2019s book author, B. G. Hennessey. The books have been extremely popular, spawning a 1984 tv movie, and two different tv shows, one running from 1997-1999 and the other from 2000-2001.\n94. Frog and Toad are Friends\nWritten by: Arnold Lobel\nFrog and Toad are friends is the first in a series of four Frog and Toad books. The book features simple stories about two friends that help each other through various situations. Over the course of the book series the books demonstrate aspects of healthy friendships. The books have received much recognition since the publication of the first in 1970, including a Newbery Award. A musical that ran on Broadway for a brief period in 2003 was nominated for three Tony awards and in 2012 the Jim Henson Company announced intentions to create an animated movie based on the books. There was also a lesser series of stop motion animation shorts made in 1985. The books have become known as some of the best and most influential children\u2019s literature ever written.\n93. Go, Dog. Go!\nWritten by: P.D. Eastman\nThis book is one of P.D. Eastman\u2019s classic works. Published first in 1961, the book has served as an introduction to group and one on one social interaction for decades. The book has a great sense of humor and is an absolute blast for children, illustrated with vibrant, appealing images, the book employs simple, humorous text making it enjoyable for children to have it read to them and to read it themselves. The book has also been adapted to stage, originally for the Seattle Children\u2019s Theater. The play continues to serve as a popular introduction to theater for young people. This classic is the kind of book that kids will want you to read them over and over again, and once they have it memorized, will peruse themselves, which can help them learn to read once they are ready.\n92. Green Eggs and Ham\nWritten by: Dr. Seuss\nGreen Eggs and Ham is one of Dr. Seuss\u2019 greatest and best known works. Really this book serves as a stand in on this list and could be read as \u201call books by Dr. Seuss\u201d as he is truly the preeminent children\u2019s book author. Indeed Dr. Seuss is not just an enjoyable read, but introduces children to interpersonal relationships, social archetypes, poetry, and basic philosophical concepts, in an intuitive and immensely entertaining fashion. In all Seuss published a whopping 46 children\u2019s books. He won multiple awards throughout his life, and his books collectively have been converted into eleven tv specials, four tv series, four feature films, and a broadway production. His first children\u2019s book was published in 1937 and according to Wikipedia, when the publisher asked for the opinion of Beatrix Potter she responded that it was \u201cthe cleverest book I have met with in many years.\u201d Dr. Seuss didn\u2019t let up for years, his last book published in 1990, capping a 50 year career just one year before his death. Green Eggs and Ham was his 20th children\u2019s book and is considered one of his greatest achievements.\n91. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie\nIllustrated by: Felicia Bond\nThis book is a wonderfully told circular story that has all the elements necessary to capture the imagination and attention of a child. The story features an adorable mouse, and cookies, milk, and other assorted items beloved by children. The story spawned many other stories and turned into a sixteen book series at last count with the first (If You Give a Mouse a Cookie) being released in 1985 and the latest in 2012. This book, and its series has won numerous awards throughout the years for both story and art. This book is definitely destined to become a classic work of children\u2019s literature.\nWritten and Illustrated by: Eric Carle\nThe Very Hungry Caterpillar may end up being many children\u2019s first lesson on the progression of the life of another species. The story follows a caterpillar from its moment of hatching, to spinning its cocoon and eventually transforming into a butterfly. The caterpillar mostly just searches for and eats food ranging from various fruits to ice cream and sausage. OK so maybe the book diverges from the technical diet of the caterpillar but this can serve a different purpose, which is encourage food diversity in young children. The book has been translated into over forty languages, and has received numerous awards for both its story and art. It was first published in 1969 and has been referenced in numerous television shows. According to Wikipedia in 2011 the American Academy of Pediatrics distributed special copies of the book complete with a healthy eating curriculum to help promote healthy diets in the United States.\nWritten and Illustrated by: Maurice Sendak\nThis is one of the most important children\u2019s books ever written. When you ask somebody about classic children\u2019s literature, this book is near the top of every list. Sendak was an eclectic person, working on jobs ranging from set design and construction for ballets and operas in addition to his writing. Like much great literature, Where the Wild Things Are has seen its fair share of controversy, receiving negative reviews from critics and banned from many libraries. However after a couple years the demand of children who were checking the book out of libraries where it wasn\u2019t banned in droves, critics and libraries revisited their stances. While not as prolific as some of the other children\u2019s book authors, Sendak\u2019s Where the Wild Things Are is an enduring classic that has captured the imaginations of children for generations and will continue to do so for many years to come.\n88. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?\nWritten by: Bill Martin Jr.\nIllustrated by: Eric Carle\nThis book doesn\u2019t have a plot, which is perfectly suited to very young children. Instead it features the narrator asking a brown bear about what he sees. The book goes along at a gentle rhyming pace with chances for interaction between the reader and child. The book helps children utilize their raw observation skills, channeling them into searching for specific things. Children will also learn about animals, and the subtle rhyming in the background can help develop vocabulary and oral skills. \u201cBrown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?\u201d is certainly one of the top childrens books for the very young.\n87. A Bear Called Paddington\nWritten by: Michael Bond\nPublished in 1958, the author of this book was inspired by an actual teddy bear he purchased for his wife at Paddington Station. This book about a found anthropomorphic bear is one of the most endearing children\u2019s stories. The popularity of the book has been massive. The real life Paddington Station even features a statue of him, and booths with Paddington Bear memorabilia. There are 24 Paddington Bear books, many sporting five or more stories in the book. The book has been adapted for stage and both the big and small screen.\n86. The House at Pooh Corner\nWritten by: A.A. Milne\nIllustrated by: E.H. Shephard\nThis book stars Winnie the Pooh, one of the most beloved fictional children\u2019s book and television characters. Winnie the Pooh and his friends are based off stuffed animals owned by the author\u2019s son, Christopher Robin Milne. The House at Pooh Corner was published in 1928 and since then multiple books, tv shows, and movies have been made. Winnie the Pooh\u2019s popularity has endured even after it was acquired by Disney. The House at Pooh Corner is actually the second Winnie the Pooh book, the first was published in 1926 but we included The House at Pooh Corner in the list because many of the most iconic Winnie the Pooh stories are in this book.\n85. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel\nWritten by: Virginia Lee Burton\nMike Mulligan and his steam shovel Mary Anne have been inspiring children since late in the Great Depression. The book was published in 1939 and has been popular with children throughout the generations. This children\u2019s literary classic is ranked among the National Education Association\u2019s top 100 books for children. Mike Mulligan is a lot more than just a story though, it has a message; hard work, perseverance, and faith in your abilities can set you apart from the pack. Mike\u2019s Steam Shovel isn\u2019t the newest, or best piece of equipment around, but Mary Anne\u2019s dependability, and Mike\u2019s work ethic enable them to accomplish grand things together. It was a message of encouragement that spoke to many during the Great Depression, and the story has resonated ever since.\n84. The Little Engine that Could\nWritten by: Watty Piper (Arnold Monk)\nThis story has been around in various forms since the early 1900s. Various incarnations of the story were published in newspapers, magazines, and book series throughout the early 20th century. The best known version of this timeless tale was published in the 1950s under the pen name Watty Piper. Arnold Monk, the writer behind the pen name was a publishing mogul. The story is that of a little train engine hauling a big load. Once the engine arrives at a mountain it has trouble but refuses to give up, repeating to itself the famous phrase \u201cI think I can\u201d over and over. The book is one of the classics bearing to children the idea that with hard work and determination, anyone can accomplish something great.\n83. The Gruffalo\nVery simply, The Gruffalo is the story of a mouse going for a walk in the woods, and the adventures he has along the way. As the mouse encounters dangerous animals, he scares them off by frightening them into thinking a mythical Gruffalo (half grizzly, half buffalo) has appeared, and they run off. Eventually the mouse, which doesn\u2019t believe in the creature, encounters one for real. The mouse is clever, and cleverly manipulates the perceptions of people around him in order to keep himself safe. The book is an entertaining take on a Chinese tale about a fox that appropriates the intimidating presence of a tiger. Children will be enthralled with the story which is well told, and features critically acclaimed artwork. The book has sold more than 10.5 million copies, which is a lot considering it was only published in 1999 and is one of the more recent works on this list.\n82. The Giving Tree\nWritten and Illustrated by: Shel Silverstein\nThis is possibly the best known work of Shel Silverstein, one of the greatest writers of children\u2019s literature and poetry in history. The Giving Tree is special in part because it can mean so many different things. People from different cultural backgrounds tend to interpret the book and its symbolism differently. The book is an exploration of the nature of relationships, whether that be between God and humankind, mother and child, friendships, or humankind and the earth, it seems that no matter what culture a person lives in, the book finds a way to relate to them, and that is part of what makes it incredible.\n81. Zen Shorts\nWritten by: John J. Muth\nZen Shorts is a collection of short children\u2019s stories based in the Zen and Taoist traditions. The book\u2019s beautiful prose and artwork combine to communicate ideas and capture the imagination. This book is fantastic for many reasons, especially that it can introduce cultural diversity to a children\u2019s book collection, but the book stands primarily on its quality. Reviewers have said that it would be difficult to find a more perfect children\u2019s book than this, and as far as children are concerned, well the main character is a panda, which is an animal almost universally loved by kids. The book was published in 2005 and won the Book Sense Book of the Year Award in 2006.\nPrevious: Top 100 Kids\u2019 Books of All Time",

        "raw_content": "The idea of fashioning a game involving playing poker against the house instead of against other players, with the house taking a portion of pots known as the rake, was first put forth by poker expert and author David Sklansky in 1982, with a game he called Casino Poker.\nThe main idea behind this was to look to simplify the game of poker, at least on its face, in a way that would make it more accessible to players and in particular make it less intimidating.\nWith standard poker, the expected outcome has a great deal to do with one\u2019s skill, and less skilled players tend to struggle a fair bit, at least until they bring their skill level up. While many prospective poker players are up for this challenge, and are willing to out the time in to master the game enough, a lot of casino players are not.\nSo casino poker removes the element of strategy from one\u2019s opponent, as one is now playing against the house, and the house does not undertake any strategy at all with casino poker, the hand is just revealed and the outcome becomes decided just on the basis of the strength of the player\u2019s hand versus the house hand.\nThis fixes the expected outcome within a certain range that casino players find acceptable, comparable to other popular casino games, although as is the case with other casino games, the house does retain this edge over time, unlike standard poker, where one can have a positive expected outcome by playing the game skillfully, where long term outcomes are decided based upon the skill of a player versus the skill level of opponents.\nIn other words, players aren\u2019t going to beat the game with casino poker, just like they won\u2019t beat the game in the long run with other casino games, as that\u2019s the nature of casino games. So this is an entertainment based game, as all casino games are, it certainly does provide plenty of entertainment, particularly due to a fair bit of strategy involved, not anywhere near as much as standard poker but quite a bit more than typical casino games, where there often is no strategy employed at all.\nThe most popular form of casino poker these days is called Caribbean Stud Poker, getting its name from first being popularized on the Caribbean island of Aruba. Casino poker was originally criticized by some people as having a little too high of a house edge, although it really wasn\u2019t that much higher, and in cases where this perception exists among players, often the house will look to add a progressive jackpot to even the playing field more and make the game more appealing.\nSo this is what happened with Caribbean Stud Poker, and in fact it was the first table game to use a live progressive jackpot, and this led to it standing out and becoming so popular.\nSo in addition to the standard betting, players may also place an extra bet to get a shot at a much bigger score, and given people\u2019s penchant for big wins, and the fact that this game does appeal to more casual players who find such bets enticing, Caribbean Stud Poker became a real hit, and remains so today.\nOnce the poker craze during the early part of the 21st century hit, Caribbean Stud Poker really took off as well, allowing the average casino player who weren\u2019t willing to spend the time to learn how to get good at standard poker to get in on all the fun.\nAt land based casinos anyway, Caribbean Stud is even more popular than standard poker, with many casinos offering casino poker but not even offering standard poker tables. Caribbean Stud is also offered at online casinos as well these days.\nThe rules of this version of poker are quite simple actually. Players place an ante bet, along with a progressive jackpot bet of $1 as well if they wish. Each player is dealt a hand of 5 cards face down, with the dealer also getting 5 cards, with one face up. Players decide whether they want to fold their hand and forfeit their ante bet, or raise.\nIf they raise, they remain in the hand, and if the dealer does not have at least AK high, the dealer\u2019s qualifying hand, their ante bet gets paid 1:1 and their raise bet is returned to them, regardless of their hand. If the dealer does have a qualifying hand, and beats the player, both the ante bet and the raise are lost.\nIf the player wins the hand, the ante bet is paid out 1:1 and the hand is paid out based upon the strength of it, with a pair paying 1:1 on the raise bet, two pair 2:1, and so on, up to 100:1 for a royal flush.\nIf the player has made a progressive bet, and hit\u2019s a flush or better, they become eligible to collect, with better hands collecting more additional money. Hitting a straight flush collects 10% of the progressive jackpot at the time, and getting a royal flush wins the entire jackpot.\nThe only decision that players make here, aside from whether to play the jackpot or not, is whether they wish to play on or fold with their hands, but this does add some interesting strategy to the mix and makes the game more interesting and entertaining to a lot of players than just the randomness of many casino games.\nCaribbean Stud Poker remains a very popular casino game and a real favorite among many casino players.\nMore casino games:",

        "raw_content": "Beyond...Fit, Body Sculpt & Butts and Guts\nFit and beyond...\nOur vision at Beyond Fit is to provide MORE, to provide classes beyond expectation. There are millions of gyms and classes you can attend, that all provide the same \"cut and paste\" workouts. The difference at Beyond Fit is we take the time to create periodized workout designs.\nWhat the heck is that!?\nPeriodization is the process of varying a training program at regular time intervals to bring about optimal gains in physical performance (see footnote 1). Some proven benefits of periodization are improved muscular endurance, strength, power, motor performance, and/or muscle hypertrophy. The goal of periodizing an exercise program is to optimize training during short (e.g., weeks, months) as well as long periods of time (e.g., years, a life time, or an athletic career). Using periodization, a competitive athlete is able to peak physical performance at a particular point in time, such as for a major competition. The same concept works if your goal is overall health and fitness. Periodization will help maximize results in a minimal amount of time! (http://training.strengthengine.com/periodization.shtml)\nAll classes are planned to take your results to the next level, in the least amount of time possible. You'll feel leaner, stronger, more conditioned and have a boost of self-confidence.\nBeyond Fit = fit is the act of being able to perform any exercise without the incidence of injury. The body should be agile, conditioned, strong and possess a great amount of endurance. Class will be designed to help the body do just that, your physical results will excel as a result.\nBeyond Body Sculpt = to sculpt the body is to get lean and toned. Beyond Body Sculpt will get you lean, toned and super strong quickly. You will no longer have to ask someone to open a jar for you or have to walk past those skinny jeans!\nBeyond Butts and Guts = the core is fundamental to pain-free movement. Butts and guts class places a huge emphasis on restoring strength in the core, so you can crush other classes.\n(1) Bompa, T.O. Periodization of strength: the new wave in strength training.

        "title": "Global Power Project - Examining the Activities and Individuals Behind the Bilderberg Group",
        "raw_content": "from Occupy Website\nAndrew Gavin Marshall is a researcher and writer based in Montreal, Canada. He is project manager of The People's Book Project, chair of the geopolitics division of The Hampton Institute, research director for Occupy.com's Global Power Project and World of Resistance (WoR) Report, and hosts a weekly podcast show with BoilingFrogsPost.\nMeet the Bilderberg Group, High Priests of Globalization\nMeet the Bilderberg Group - an annual gathering of 130 of the Western world's top financial, corporate, political, academic, media, military and policy elites, held every year since 1954.\nThey meet behind closed doors, at five-star hotels, where participants are encouraged to speak frankly - meaning \"off the record\" and away from the prying eyes and piercing ears of the public. Some journalists and media executives are invited, but they don't actually cover the meetings: they simply attend them as guests.\nThe famous exclusivity and secrecy of the Bilderberg Group, we are told, is designed to encourage frank and open discussions among some of the most influential people in North America and Western Europe. But unlike its portrayal as a place where powerful people simply \"talk shop,\" critics for years have considered the meetings a form of secret world government, and a shadowy cabal.\nThe truth, as it often is, rests somewhere between these extremes.\nBilderberg is a meeting of the movers and shakers, the managers and policy-makers, the plutocrats, technocrats, financiers and imperialists of the North Atlantic powers. Its original purpose was to provide a forum where Western European elites could meet in private with American officials to encourage the strengthening of the \"Atlantic Alliance.\"\nThe forum has provided the geopolitical and economic framework for behind-the-scenes collaboration and cooperation between the major NATO powers.\nFounding members of the group in 1954 included,\nJoseph Retinger\nDavid Rockefeller of the United States\nNamed after the Hotel de Bilderberg in the Netherlands, where the first conference took place, attendees decided to hold a conference annually with locations rotating between Europe and North America.\nIn its early years, much of the funding for the group came from the CIA and American philanthropic foundations such as the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation.\nThese institutions, along with the CIA, other major foundations and the Bilderberg conference itself, were pivotal in the early process of post-WWII European integration, laying the groundwork for what decades later would become the European Union.\nIn the 1955 meeting of the Bilderberg Group, the topic of \"European Unity\" was a major discussion point, with attendees articulating the need to eventually create a \"common currency\" and \"a central political authority\" in Europe.\nOne American participant reportedly encouraged the European attendees \"to be practical and work fast.\" Within two years, the Treaty of Rome was signed, establishing the European Economic Community (EEC).\nA New York Times article from 1957 noted that the first Bilderberg meeting to take place on U.S. soil represented,\n\"an unpublicized backdoor approach to better relations among nations\" of NATO, and noted that U.S. State Department officials were \"meeting in secret for three days for an unofficial but frank exchange of views.\"\nAmong the American participants were,\nformer Ambassador to the Soviet Union (and architect of America's \"containment\" policy) George F. Kennan\nWorld Bank President Eugene R. Black\nGabriel Hauge, an economic adviser to President Dwight D. Eisenhower\nThe issue of European integration remained important to attendees at Bilderberg, as a Reuters article noted in 1965, when a communiqu\u00e9 was issued confirming that the meeting's participants,\n\"believed that only a united Europe could join the United States in effective direction of the Atlantic alliance.\"\nHow It Works and Who Is Involved\nBilderberg is run by its Steering Committee of roughly 40 members whose responsibility is to organize the annual meetings and invite guests from their respective countries, bringing the average yearly attendance to roughly 130 people.\nParticipants and Steering Committee members come from the largest banks, corporations and think tanks; they run media empires, military and intelligence agencies.\nThey include European royalty and representatives from some of the world's most prominent financial and corporate dynasties, including,\nthe Rockefellers of the U.S.\nthe Rothschilds of Europe\nthe Agnellis of Italy\nthe Wallenbergs of Sweden\nthe Desmarais of Canada\nthe Koc family of Turkey,\nThese elites meet together with top foreign and economic policy makers from North American and European nations, as well as up-and-coming politicians being groomed for high office and the heads of major international and regional organizations including,\nthe WTO,\n...and some of the world's most powerful central banks.\nStill, its members and leadership contend that there is nothing the public needs to worry about when all these people get together in secret meetings to discuss the major geopolitical and economic issues of the day.\nEtienne Davignon, one of the chief architects of European integration in recent decades, has been a long-time Bilderberg member and was, until recently, the chairman of the steering committee.\nIn 2005, Davignon was quoted by the Financial Times saying that the meeting is,\n\"not a capitalist plot to run the world... If we really believed we were running the world, we would immediately resign in complete despair.\"\nIn 2009, Davignon acknowledged that the formation of the euro was debated and promoted in annual Bilderberg meetings.\nA decade ago, The New York Times wrote that the guest list of Bilderberg meetings,\n\"would more or less overlap with the 'Wanted' posters of anti-globalization protesters,\" noting that a former participant, Will Hutton, once referred to the Bilderberg members and participants as the \"high priests of globalization.\"\nMore recently, a 2013 article from the Daily Telegraph asserted that while many members contend the group,\n\"is still merely a debating society,\" interviews with past guests and steering committee members referred to the conference as among \"the most important events they ever went to,\" where \"the discussions that took place decisively shaped modern Europe.\"\nReferring to the group as \"a club for life's winners,\" the article noted that former steering committee member Denis Healey said he debated the Vietnam War with Henry Kissinger, and that the group brought,\n\"the architects of the European integration... together for open-ended discussions with bankers and economists about how the European monetary system might work.\"\nHealey was quoted saying:\n\"The great advantage of the Bilderberg thing was they did not have to reach agreement. You had time to discuss things with people who influence events who normally you would not meet at all... People could talk very freely, much more freely than they would at home.\"\nOther former participants noted that it was at Bilderberg meetings where they first heard of the intentions of the West Germans to unify Germany, and where British policymakers convinced other nations in attendance to apply sanctions on Argentina during the Falklands War.\nAs Denis Healey explained:\n\"I found it the most useful of all the meetings I attended regularly. The Bilderberg was the best because the level of the people attending regularly was so much higher... Bilderberg was the most useful of the lot.\"\nIndeed, in a June 1974 Argus-Press article, the then-Chairman of Bilderberg, and one of its founding members, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, explained that,\n\"the purpose of the conference... is that eminent persons in every field get the opportunity to speak freely without being hindered by the knowledge that their words and ideas will be analyzed, commented upon and eventually criticized in the press.\"\nGerald Ford, who attended two Bilderberg meetings long before becoming vice president and president of the United States, was quoted in 1965 saying:\n\"You don't really belong to the organization: one gets an invitation from the prince,\" referring to Bernhard.\nIt should be noted, however, that there was one year in which the annual meeting was cancelled - 1976 - due to revelations of corruption involving bribes between the Lockheed military contractor and Prince Bernhard, leading to his resignation as chairman of the group.\nIn 2005, the BBC quoted then-chairman Etienne Davignon as saying:\n\"I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists. I simply think it's people who have influence interested to speak to other people who have influence...\nBilderberg does not try to reach conclusions - it does not try to say 'what we should do'... Business influences society and politics influence society - that's purely common sense. It's not that business contests the right of democratically-elected leaders to lead.\"\nWill Hutton, who attended a 1997 meeting, explained:\n\"On every issue that might influence your business you will hear first-hand the people who are actually making those decisions and you will play a part in helping them to make those decisions and formulating the common sense.\"\nFormer NATO Secretary-General and Bilderberg participant, Willy Claes, said in a 2010 interview with a Belgian radio program,\n\"Well look, it's not all that secret really. There is an agenda for the day with the most pressing problems the world is confronted with... that is discussed... there is never a vote, no resolutions are being put to paper.\"\nHowever, he added,\n\"naturally... the rapporteur always tries to draw up a synthesis, and everyone is assumed to make use of these conclusions in the circles where he has influence.\"\nAn anonymous former participant in Bilderberg meetings was quoted by the Financial Times in 2013 saying:\n\"The reason it's perceived as sinister is because it brings together big international institutions - the IMF, the World Bank and the European Union - with heads of state, royalty and corporate leaders, and they don't produce a statement at the end of it.\"\nIn 2001, founding member Denis Healey told the Guardian in an interview,\n\"We aren't secret... We're private.\"\nSpeaking of the meeting's critics who contend that the member of the conference aim to achieve a type of \"global government,\" Healey told journalist Jon Ronson:\n\"To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair.\nThose of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn't go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing.\"\nThe key issue, however, is that the world which Bilderberg is helping to shape and support is one in which financiers and industrialists are the key beneficiaries - one in which democratically-elected politicians engage with their real constituents behind closed doors, in \"private\" conversations that have profound and real effects upon policy and thus upon entire populations who are given no such access to public officials.\nElected leaders and policy-makers don't meet in secret with the world's major financiers and industrialists so they can discuss the best ways to serve the interests of the public, or populations, of their respective nations.\nThey meet to serve their own collective and individual interests.\nIt is not a conspiracy:\nit is a forum in which leaders from the upper echelons of Western power structures aim to establish consensus on priorities and policies for major political and economic issues.\nBilderberg contributes to directly undermining democracy, while further institutionalizing technocracy - the \"rule by experts\" - at the national and international level.\nIs the Bilderberg Group Picking Our Politicians?\nWhen it comes to the secretive meetings of the world's financial, corporate, political and technocratic elites at the annual Bilderberg conferences, a common criticism from conspiracy theorists and others is that the group pre-selects major politicians - choosing presidents and prime ministers in private before populations have a chance to vote themselves.\nBilderberg participants contest this framing, suggesting that Bilderberg participants simply invite up-and-coming politicians who appear to have a bright future ahead of them.\nThe truth is that it's a bit of both.\nBilderberg invites politicians who appear to have an influential future in their respective nations, but their attendance at the meetings (depending on their ability to impress Bilderberg members and participants) can itself have a very significant influence on their political futures.\nThis is because the industrialists, bankers and media moguls in attendance hold significant individual and collective power over the political processes across much of the Western world.\nThe main ideologies that pervade the group are an undeterred commitment to corporate and financial globalization, support of a Western-led world order, and the advancement and further institutionalization of global governance. Politicians who share similar views are more likely to be invited.\nAs former Bilderberg chairman Etienne Davignon explained,\n\"automatically around the table [at meetings] you have internationalists\" who support European integration, the WTO and trans-Atlantic cooperation.\ninvited politicians who impress the attended members and guests through speeches or contributions to debates are likely to gain the support of some of the world's most powerful individuals and institutions.\nThis is no absolute guarantee of political success for higher office, but there are numerous examples of politicians whose attendance may have provided supportive - or even pivotal - influence in their reaching higher office.\nAs Bilderberg's former Steering Committee member Denis Healey explained in an interview with the Guardian,\n\"Bilderberg is a way of bringing together politicians, industrialists, financiers and journalists.\nPolitics should involve people who aren't politicians. We make a point of getting along younger politicians who are obviously rising, to bring them together with financiers and industrialists who offer them wise words.\nIt increases the chance of having a sensible global policy.\"\nOf course, the notion of what is \"sensible\" is clearly biased toward policies that benefit the interests and objectives of financiers and industrialists.\nThe Thatcher and Clinton Factors\nOne good example of this is the rise of Margaret Thatcher. In 1975, when Thatcher became the leader of the opposition in British Parliament, she was invited to that year's Bilderberg conference.\nA Financial Times article that year by C. Gordon Tether noted that Thatcher and other British participants,\n\"were engaging - in company with a handful of British banking and industrial chiefs - in 'completely private talks on world problems' with the top-most brass of the international business community - the super-capitalists.\"\nThe article noted that,\n\"if Bilderberg is not a conspiracy, it is conducted in such a way as to give a remarkably good imitation of one.\"\nJon Ronson interviewed the member of Bilderberg (who remained anonymous) that had invited Thatcher to the meeting.\nThe former Bilderberg member recalled that Thatcher had sat in silence for the first two days of the meeting, leading to some participants \"grumbling\" about this lady who \"hasn't said a word.\"\nSo the Bilderberg member spoke with Thatcher, and then,\n\"the next day she suddenly stood up and launched into a three-minute Thatcher special... The room was stunned. Here's something for your conspiracy theorists.\nAs a result of that speech, David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger and the other Americans fell in love with her. They brought her over to America, took her around in limousines, and introduced her to everyone.\"\nFour years later, Thatcher was Prime Minister, and her reign left a legacy of privatizations, neoliberalism and profit for the powerful.\nBut Thatcher is not the only politician who reached great heights after attending a Bilderberg meeting.\nBill Clinton was invited to a 1991 meeting in Germany when he was the Governor of Arkansas. Two years later he would be the U.S. president. Clinton was invited by his friend and Bilderberg Steering Committee member Vernon E. Jordan Jr., a major corporate figure in America who later became known as President Clinton's \"closest confidant.\"\n\"Plenty of governors try to make that scene; only Clinton got taken seriously at that meeting, because Vernon Jordan said he was okay.\"\nVernon Jordan later recalled that after Bill Clinton won the presidential election and became president,\n\"the steering committee of Bilderberg came to Washington in January, and I called the president up and said 'Mr. President, they're here' - and he came to the Four Seasons hotel, and the Europeans felt like they owned them because they met him when he was totally unknown.\"\nShaping Canada, America, the U.K. and beyond\nAmong the Canadian politicians who attended Bilderberg meetings before they became prime ministers were,\nFormer British Prime Minister Tony Blair had also attended before becoming prime minister of the UK.\nVirtually all presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before being appointed to office.\nIn 2004, as John Kerry was running for president against George W. Bush, a potential running mate, John Edwards, was invited to speak at that year's Bilderberg meeting.\nAccording to a report in the New York Times, John Edwards,\n\"spoke so well in a debate on American politics... that participants broke Bilderberg rules to clap before the end of the session.\"\nA friend of John Kerry's who had attended that meeting recalled that the speech by John Edwards,\n\"was important... I have no doubt the word got back to Mr. Kerry about how well he did.\"\nShortly after, Edwards was selected as Kerry's running mate (though they clearly did not win the more important election that year).\nBilderberg's Influence on Obama\nIn fact, it was a Bilderberg member, James A. Johnson, a prominent American corporate executive, who John Kerry tapped for choosing a running mate.\nAnd in 2008, that same Johnson,\n\"was tasked with spearheading Barack Obama's 2008 search for a running mate.\"\nAs the Financial Times reported in May of 2008, James Johnson was appointed,\n\"to head a secret committee to produce a shortlist for [Obama's] vice-presidential running mate,\" though the Obama campaign refused to comment \"on this process.\"\nFrom June 5 to 8 of 2008, Bilderberg was meeting in Chantilly, Virginia, just as the campaign to win the presidential nomination was heating up between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.\nAs is typical during campaign season, the candidates traveled with a regular entourage of journalists.\nBut on the night of June 5, following a campaign rally in Bristow, Virginia, Obama's press entourage was,\n\"whisked away to Dulles Airport outside of Washington, D.C., to board a flight to Chicago,\" as CBS reported.\nThe press waited on the plane for Obama, who was said to be doing interviews with local reporters.\nAfter an hour of waiting, the pilot informed the press that the plane was about to take off, without Obama on board, leading many journalists to feel that they \"had all been duped.\"\nRobert Gibbs, Obama's communications director (and later press secretary) informed the reporters on the plane that Obama decided to stay behind in Washington for \"meetings,\" though he refused to say whom the meetings were with.\nGibbs explained:\n\"It wasn't an attempt to deceive in any way, it's just private meetings.\"\nShortly after the plane landed in Chicago, Gibbs informed the press that Obama had gone to meet with Hillary Clinton, though provided no details of the meeting or where it took place.\nAt the time, there was speculation that both Obama and Clinton had gone to attend the Bilderberg meeting taking place nearby.\nThough never confirmed, the question remains, and two days after the \"private meetings,\" Hillary withdrew from the race and Obama became the presidential nominee.\nLater, as president, Obama gave Clinton the role of Secretary of State.\nIn the summer of 2012, John Kerry attended the Bilderberg meeting, and he went on to replace Hillary Clinton as Obama's Secretary of State for the second term.\nForbes noted that Kerry's attendance at the Bilderberg meeting may have helped his selection as secretary - also noting that Canadian Mark Carney had attended his first Bilderberg meeting in 2011 when he was Governor of the Bank of Canada, and was invited back in 2012 when he attended alongside British Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne.\nWithin a couple months of the meeting, Osborne announced Carney's appointment as the Governor of the Bank of England - the first time a non-British citizen was appointed to head the institution.\nJust prior to being appointed as President of the European Council in 2009, Belgian politician Herman Van Rompuy attended a \"secret dinner\" of the Bilderberg group's Steering Committee in order \"to promote his candidacy.\"\nHe was invited by then-Bilderberg chairman Etienne Davignon, and attending members included other leading industrialists and financiers as well as influential figures like Henry Kissinger. Van Rompuy impressed the audience.\nHe later served as President of the European Council from 2009 to 2014.\nAttending Bilderberg is not a guarantee of higher office, but it can often support a rapid rise to state power for politicians who impress the members and guests at the annual meetings.\nAs Etienne Davignon explained, Bilderberg's Steering Committee,\n\"does its best assessment of who are the bright new boys or girls in the beginning phase of their career who would like to get known.\"\nBilderberg Group and Its Link to World Financial Markets\nThis article looks at the published lists of participants attending recent Bilderberg meetings, specifically ones that took place between 2008 and 2014.\nFrom these lists, we're better able to understand the relevance of Bilderberg meetings to specific institutions, ideologies and powerful sectors of society connected with global economic governance. As such, the following articles in this series examine financial markets, banks, technocracy, finance ministries, central banks, the IMF and the European Union.\nWhen discussing the Bilderberg group, its meetings and their impacts, there is one major problem: the meetings are held in secret.\nWhen 130 of the world's most influential individuals and institutions get together behind closed doors for a \"private chat,\" the public is left unaware of what was said, debated, agreed or decided.\nThe official website for Bilderberg publishes recent lists of attendees as well as a press release of the \"topics\" due to be discussed.\nWith no details added, the list for the 2014 meeting's topics included,\n\"Is the economic recovery sustainable?\"\n\"What next for Europe?\"\n\"China's political and economic outlook\"\n\"Current Events\"\nThis is essentially all we have to go on in our efforts to discern what was debated and discussed behind the scenes.\nSo, instead of engaging in speculation about what was or was not discussed at Bilderberg meetings, let's instead look at the individuals and institutions that are frequently represented there.\nWhat role do those groups play in society?\nWhat is their history and evolution as institutions and individuals?\nWhat ideologies do they embrace and propagate?\nSeeking the answers to these questions raises further inquiries:\nwhat do these individuals, institutions and ideologies tell us about our society? What do they tell us about power and how it is organized, exercised and expanded?\nBilderberg and Financial Markets\nSome people suggest we may judge others by the company they keep.\nAfter all, who we choose as friends says a great deal about ourselves. Applying this logic to the Bilderberg Group, we see a body whose activities and internal discussions remain largely secret, which we can get to know better by examining the membership and guests it invites.\nBilderberg's official website provides a press release for each meeting held between 2010 and 2014.\nIn all of these meetings, issues such as,\nthe financial crisis and regulation\neconomic recovery and growth\nausterity and global economic governance,\n...are relevant throughout.\nWith membership drawn primarily from North America and Western Europe, the financial and economic turmoil of the past several years has been a consistent topic of discussion and concern for Bilderberg meetings.\nWithin all of these issues, \"financial markets\" play an extremely important and influential role.\nGiven that Bilderberg represents the interests of some of the largest and most powerful banks and financial institutions in the world, the meeting provides a forum where \"financial markets\" are duly given a powerful voice.\nBut before we address the relevance of these financial market leaders, let's briefly define what \"financial markets\" are.\nThe Financial Times Lexicon calls them a,\n\"generic term for an exchange that facilitates the trading of financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, or commodities.\"\nIn other words, \"financial markets\" create and collect vast sums of money (or debt) and move it around in order to collect more money and debt. Financial markets manage the investment and exchange of money and debt.\nMany major institutions and actors shape financial markets. There are individual financiers, such as billionaires George Soros and Warren Buffett, who are able to move financial markets with words and actions.\nThere are also,\nmajor global banks (the \"too big to fail\" financial institutions)\nprivate equity companies\nconsulting and accounting firms\nDespite - or because of - their many different areas of operations and institutions within financial markets, the power of these groups is heavily concentrated, largely globalized and highly destructive.\nBut don't take my word for it. Instead, take the word of a Bilderberg Steering Committee member, Roger C. Altman, who has attended every meeting since 2010.\nAltman is the chairman of Evercore, which claims to be the \"most active independent investment bank\" in the United States.\nHe was a former partner at Lehman Brothers in the 1970s, became a fund-raiser for then-Governor Jimmy Carter, and later served as an Assistant Treasury Secretary in the Carter administration from 1977 to 1981, during which time he oversaw the $1.5 billion government bailout of Chrysler Corporation.\nAltman returned to Wall Street in 1981, working for Lehman Brothers.\nThe New York Times noted that apart from his stint in the Carter administration, Altman,\n\"spent the 70s and 80s on Wall Street, growing very wealthy.\"\nHe became close with the chairman of Lehman Bros., Peter G. Peterson, who founded the major investment firm Blackstone in 1987, today one of the world's largest independent asset management firms managing nearly $300 billion in assets.\nAltman joined Blackstone at its founding as Vice Chairman, staying until 1993 when he was appointed as Bill Clinton's Deputy Treasury Secretary.\nOne of Clinton's closest economic advisers at the time, Gene Sperling, commented that Altman was,\n\"one of the six or seven people who is always consulted on any significant economic position.\"\nAltman left the Clinton administration in 1995 and founded Evercore that same year, where he has remained until the present.\nHe is currently also a director of Conservation International, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Steering Committee of Bilderberg, and regularly writes columns for the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Financial Times.\nIn 2006, Altman served as an adviser to Hillary Clinton for her presidential campaign.\nToday, Evercore manages over $14 billion in assets and has handled over $1.4 trillion of transactions for major global corporations, investment agencies and the super rich.\nWhat does all this mean? It means when Roger Altman writes articles that are widely distributed and read by the key decision-makers and those who shape the global financial markets, he speaks not simply as an observer but as an active participant and player.\nHis words carry weight - like in December of 2011, a month after the democratically elected leaders of Greece and Italy were removed from office. The EU elite replaced those countries' leaders, who had displeased the financial markets, with economic technocrats and bankers who swiftly imposed ruthless austerity measures that punished their populations into poverty in order to pay the interest on debts to banks.\nAltman wrote in the Financial Times that financial markets were,\n\"acting like a global supra-government\" with the power to \"oust entrenched regimes where normal political processes could not do so. They force austerity, banking bail-outs and other major policy changes,\" and their influence \"dwarfs\" that of major global institutions like the International monetary Fund (IMF), he wrote.\nIndeed, the markets \"have become the most powerful force on earth,\" and when those markets flex their muscles, \"the immediate impact on society can be painful\" with high unemployment and collapsing governments.\nBut, he added,\n\"the longer-term effects can be often transformative and positive,\" at least for the interests of banks.\nUltimately, Altman concluded:\n\"Whether this power is healthy or not is beside the point. It is permanent... there is no stopping the new policing role of the financial markets.\"\nMartin Wolf, another frequent Bilderberg participant, is considered to be perhaps the most influential financial journalist in the world, being the chief economics commentator and associate editor at the Financial Times.\nHe is consistently rated among the 100 most influential \"thinkers\" in the world, with,\n\"a devoted following among top economists, politicians, and financiers.\"\nWolf himself once explained:\n\"I'm writing for the people who are doing these things, who are running these things.\"\nLawrence Summers, another top economist, former Treasury official and occasional Bilderberg participant, has referred to Wolf as,\n\"the world's preeminent financial journalist,\" and the economist Kenneth Rogoff called him \"the premier financial and economics writer in the world.\"\nMohamed El-Erian, former CEO of the world's largest bond trader, PIMCO, stated that Wolf was \"by far, the most influential economic columnist out there,\" and the current governor of the central bank of India, Raghuram Rajan, commented:\n\"You cannot measure influence, but you can feel influence... And I think [Wolf] has it.\"\nWolf himself acknowledged,\n\"I don't know if there's any significant central banker I don't know.\"\nAs the New Republic explained in a profile, Wolf's audience and readership,\n\"are some of the top earners, spenders, and decision-makers in the world,\" noting that he was \"staggeringly well-connected within the elite circles he is writing for.\"\nNo doubt, Wolf's consistent presence at Bilderberg meetings, and at the World Economic Forum, has helped to secure that access and maintain those connections.\nThus, when Wolf writes about issues related to financial markets, his commentary holds far more weight than when outside or more critical voices speak up.\nThis is all the more notable when Wolf defines and criticizes what he perceives as the primary problems of financial markets, and the financial system as a whole - which he did in 2011, writing that,\n\"an out-of-control financial sector is eating out the modern market economy from inside, just as the larva of the spider wasp eats out the host in which it has been laid.\"\n(Wincott Annual memorial lecture, Oct. 24, 2011).\nThe Super-Entity\nCombining the analyses of these two prominent Bilderberg members who have strong connections to leading global financiers and regulators, we can thus understand financial markets as something of a global parasite - one with unprecedented power to determine the fate of nations and peoples through investments and exchanges of money and debt.\nFinancial markets, in other words, represent a global parasitic social structure in which power is gained and exercised through the manipulation of numbers on screens.\nAt the core of financial markets are what Swiss scientists have called the \"super-entity,\" composed of 147 of the world's top transnational corporations, primarily banks and insurance companies concentrated in the United States, Western Europe and Japan, which collectively own each other through shareholdings.\nAs a group, these 147 corporations own roughly 40% of the entire network of the world's top 43,000 transnational corporations. One of the financial researchers commented,\n\"In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network.\"\nMany of these institutions are frequently represented in Bilderberg meetings, including,\nCollectively, these are the leaders in financial markets and the overlords of Roger Altman's \"global supra-government.\"\nThe leaders and advisers to these banks who have been represented at Bilderberg meetings, and the influence and views they hold, will be the focus of the next installment in this series.\nBilderberg and the Global Financial Mafia\nIn the previous Bilderberg article (above), I wrote that financial markets were,\n\"a type of global parasite with unprecedented power capable of determining the fate of nations and peoples.\"\nIn truth, the \"super-entity\" known as financial market power functions like a cartel, or an organized criminal network: a Mafia.\nThis installment examines some of the members of the global financial mafia who are present at Bilderberg meetings and thus are given unparalleled access to political leaders behind closed doors.\nAt Bilderberg meetings, participants frequently include leading officials and advisers to banks like,\nThe participation of leaders and advisers to these and other large financial institutions provides world leaders with direct, \"private\" access to some of the leading voices at the core of global financial markets. The interests and actions of financial markets can thus be articulated to the leaders of powerful political, media, military, intelligence and technocratic institutions.\nThe \"invisible hand\" may voice where and when it might smack.\nThrough Bilderberg, leaders in financial markets are given an inside look at, and access to, those who shape and wield foreign and economic policy in the world's most powerful nations. Their interests become a part of that process, just as geopolitical interests are integrated into the actions of financial markets.\nWhile financial markets command no armies, they determine the flow and functions of money upon which all armies are dependent, and to which nations are obedient.\nBilderberg brings these institutions and individuals together for an off-the-record, private chat about global affairs and policy.\n- Martin Feldstein, who serves on the International Council of JPMorgan Chase, attended all but one Bilderberg meeting between 2010 and 2014.\nFeldstein is one of the most influential American economists over the past several decades, serving as a professor at Harvard, a member ,\nthe Group of Thirty\nthe International Advisory Board of the National Bank of Kuwait\nHe advised President George W. Bush as a member of the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board between 2007 and 2009, a position in which he was given access to top-secret intelligence information.\nHe had previously served as one of Ronald Reagan's chief economic advisers, and President Obama appointed him in 2009 to serve on the Economic Recovery Advisory Board, advising on how to manage the \"recovery\" following the financial crisis.\nFeldstein's views are well known. Relating to Europe's debt crisis, for which Bilderberg meetings hold a great deal of significance, Feldstein wrote in the Financial Times in July of 2013 that governments that bowed to \"popular political pressure\" to lessen the brutal austerity measures widely seen as the cause of mass unemployment, poverty and social unrest, were at risk of facing rising interest rates and \"a new fiscal crisis.\"\nIn other words, if governments bend to the will of the people, financial markets will seek to bend them back.\nA \"fiscal crisis\" only takes place when creditors (financial markets) decide to stop funding the government. In Europe, nations are largely dependent upon banks to provide them with credit to function.\nThus, if the heads of financial markets don't like the policies of nations, they can cut off their funding, creating a major crisis and even collapsing the government.\nThis leverage forces nations to follow policies favored by financial markets, such as austerity and various other \"structural reforms.\" Meanwhile, the policies combine to impoverish the population, enrich the elite, allow for mass exploitation of resources and labor, and consolidate control of the economy into the hands of relatively few, large global banks and corporations.\n- Another key Bilderberg member and leading figure in financial markets is Josef Ackermann, whom I have written about previously.\nAckermann has been one of Europe's most powerful bankers over the past decade, as the CEO of Deutsche Bank and a major power player throughout the debt crisis holding key leadership positions in large industry associations such as the Institute for International Finance (IIF).\n- The current chairman of the Bilderberg Group, Henri de Castries, is chairman and CEO of the French insurance giant, AXA, one of the top companies on the Swiss study's list of the \"super-entity\" of banks and insurance giants.\nDe Castries is also a member of the European Financial Services Round Table (EFR), a lobby group made up of the chairmen and CEOs of Europe's largest financial institutions.\nIn 2012, the Financial Times referred to Henri de Castries as one of France's \"best known captains of industry,\" having served as an unofficial adviser to former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and been school classmates with the current President Francois Hollande.\nDe Castries is considered,\n\"as establishment as you can get in France.\"\nIn the wake of the European debt crisis, Henri de Castries supported the policies of austerity and structural reform, warning in 2012 that the crisis would continue for some time.\nHe suggested that governments needed to learn how to,\n\"spend less\" and the only way to \"win back our competitiveness\" was \"through business investment and not by public spending,\" adding: \"What we need is a profound cultural change.\"\n- Marcus Agius, a member of Bilderberg's steering committee, is the chairman of PA Consulting, having previously served as the chairman of Barclays, the bank listed in the number one spot on the list compiled by the Swiss study.\nAs chair of Barclays between 2007 and 2012, Agius also served as chairman of the British Bankers Association, was a director of the BBC from 2006 to 2013, and served as a Business Ambassador of the Trade and Investment Ministry of the British government.\nAgius also married the daughter of Edmund de Rothschild, bringing him into the family of one of the most prestigious and influential financial dynasties in the world.\nAgius resigned from Barclays in 2012 as a result of the massive global financial fraud revealed by the Libor rate scandal, whereby some of the world's largest banks - including Barclays - formed a cartel at the British Bankers Association to manipulate the interest rate at which banks lend to each other, influencing prices throughout the global economy.\nDespite the resulting scandal for Agius and others, which forced resignations in 2012, he stayed on the bank's payroll as an adviser until March of 2014, a full 20 months following his official resignation.\n- Douglas J. Flint, who is chairman of HSBC, has attended every Bilderberg meeting since 2011.\nHe is also,\nchairman of the Institute of International Finance (IIF)\nmember of the European Financial Services Round Table (EFR)\nmember of the Financial Services Forum\nmember of the International Monetary Conference (IMC)\nserves on advisory boards to the Mayors of Shanghai and Beijing\n- W. Edmund Clark, the chair of one of Canada's largest banks, TD Bank, has attended every Bilderberg meeting since 2010.\n- Peter Sutherland has been a long-time Bilderberg participant, and serves as the chairman of Goldman Sachs International.\n- Robert Zoellick, former World Bank president and Bilderberg participant at every meeting between 2010 and 2014, now serves as the chairman of the Board of International Advisers of Goldman Sachs.\n- Peter R. Orszag, a Vice Chairman at Citigroup, attended Bilderberg meetings between 2010 and 2012.\n- The Vice Chairman of Goldman Sachs, J. Michael Evans, attended Bilderberg meetings in 2012 and 2013.\nThis is but a small sampling of some of the names of the leaders of financial institutions represented at Bilderberg meetings over the past few years.\nApart from leading individual banks and financial institutions, many of the financiers who attend Bilderberg meetings simultaneously hold leadership positions within other large banking lobby groups, industry associations, and major international conferences.\nFor example, Bilderberg members and participants frequently hold simultaneous leadership positions at,\nthe Institute of International Finance (IIF)\nthe International Monetary Conference (IMC)\nthe Group of Thirty (G30),\nall of which have been the focus of previous installments of the Global Power Project, as they have been profoundly influential organizations in their own right.\nThe fact that so many leading figures in those organizations are leaders and participants in Bilderberg meetings lends extra weight to the importance of the meetings.\nRoger Altman, a Bilderberg steering committee member and head of a large investment bank, wrote in a May 2013 article in the Financial Times that financial markets in the 21st century were,\n\"much more powerful than any government leader,\" noting that the spread of austerity across Europe was not driven by Angela Merkel of Germany or other political leaders, but rather, by \"private lenders... who declined to finance further borrowing by those countries,\" and thus, \"markets triggered the Eurozone crisis, not politicians.\"\nThe views and the desires of bankers and financiers are important - and influential - precisely because if these individuals don't get what they want, they wield the power in numbers on screens that can force the hands of even the most powerful governments and politicians.\nAs such, the favored policies of bankers frequently become the implemented policies of states.\nThe Bilderberg Group and the Tyranny of the Technocrats\nBilderberg is an inherently technocratic institution.\nIt brings together top \"experts\" and decision-makers from a number of important sectors to engage in off-the-record conversation, speaking a \"common language\" in order to help design and coordinate policies that more accurately represent the interests of concentrated power.\nAs such, Bilderberg not only serves a technocratic function, but it is also populated with a number of the world's most influential technocrats who are members and invited guests:\ntop officials of central banks\nTheir participation in Bilderberg meetings provides them with a \"private\" forum in which to engage with the political, corporate and financial oligarchy.\nMore concretely, Bilderberg meetings enable participants to promote the expansion and further institutionalization of technocracy. But to understand Bilderberg's relevance to technocracy, let's first define the concept.\nWhat is Technocracy?\nTechnocracy is largely defined as \"rule by experts,\" or the exercise of power by \"professionals.\"\nAs The Economist explained in 2011:\n\"Technocracy was once a communist idea: with the proletariat in power, administration could be left to experts.\"\nBut the scientific management of society \"was popular under capitalism too,\" and the magazine noted there was even a prominent \"Technocratic Movement\" in the United States in the early 20th century.\nThe late 19th and early 20th century witnessed rapid industrialization, new oligarchies, mass migration, revolution, a clash of empires between old and new, emerging technologies and inventions, expanded literacy, new energy sources and novel forms of communication and transportation.\nIt was an age of oligarchs and unrest. Many of the most powerful societies turned to technocracy to help manage the great transitions of the era.\nAs the oligarchs sought to maintain their influence by institutionalizing it within society, they also while sought to manage the expectations and interests of the population:\nby engaging in social engineering with the objective of maintaining social control, or what the ruling class called \"stability.\"\nCapitalist, Communist (or State-Socialist) and Fascist societies turned to technocracy and the rule of experts to transform the structure of modern civilization through a \"scientific management\" of human society - where oligarchic power is legalized and institutionalized, and the population gives its consent, or is at least its obedience, to the ruling structure.\nThe Chinese Communist Party and state is largely ruled by unelected technocrats, as are several military dictatorships and one-party states.\nOn occasion, even Western \"democratic\" nations become ruled by unelected technocrats, though as The Economist noted,\n\"only for a short time\" and \"in unusual circumstances.\"\nRecent examples include the imposition of technocratic governments in Italy and Greece, in late 2011 when democratically elected leaders were removed of the government was handed to a former central banker.\nDespite these exceptions of direct technocratic rule, there are technocratic institutions and individuals who oversee major parts of our society and determine important policies that have profound consequences for hundreds of millions, and often billions, of people around the world.\nCentral banks, finance ministries, international organizations, think tanks, foundations and universities are all highly influential technocratic institutions, often managed by high-level technocrats and governed (or advised) by members of the financial and corporate oligarchy.\nChina's Technocratic Tyranny\nA November 2013 article in The Atlantic described Chinese politics as \"a nightmare\" for those who were \"lovers of clear, concise language.\"\nThe author, Matt Schiavenza, cited the names of the top ruling body (Politburo Standing Committee), the major conference establishing policy and direction for the following years (Third Plenary Session of the 18th Party Congress), and the conference's resulting document that promised to \"comprehensively deepen reforms,\" and argued:\n\"Chinese politics are designed to attract as little attention as possible.\"\nThe technicality and obscurity of the language serves to hide the exercise and effects of power behind an image of \"expertise.\"\nOnly those who are experts in matters of law, finance, economics, political science, etc., are capable of understanding the language, and thus, the implications of its use. In China, the technocratic language of the Party and state hide the rule of not only the visible top technocrats, but of the powerful political and financial oligarchs and dynasties behind them.\nChina's political and economic power is concentrated in the hands of a new aristocratic class of what are called \"Princelings,\" the descendants of Communist China's revolutionary leaders.\nThese leaders wielded formal political power, and after the turn to capitalism, from the late 1970s onward, the descendants of these families came to dominate the economic resources of the country.\nAs Bloomberg noted, in China,\n\"wealth and influence is concentrated in the hands of as few as 14 and as many as several hundred families.\"\nFor foreign businesses and banks to gain access to the Chinese market, the most effective means has been through the practice of hiring or establishing relationships with the Princelings.\nMajor global banks, such as,\n...and others, frequently hire princelings in order gain access and influence within China's leadership, since the relatives of princelings themselves govern the bureaucracies and state-owned industries, determining the flow of money through society.\nJPMorgan Chase has been under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its practice of hiring hundreds of princelings in China to gain access to its lucrative market.\nIn the words of Bloomberg, these princelings have become China's \"new capitalist nobility.\"\nWen Jiabao served as China's prime minister for the decade leading up to 2012, and his family amassed billions in assets, a practice consistent for most (if not all) of China's ruling political figures, including its new president, Xi Jinping.\nAlmost all of the nine members of the ruling Politburo Standing Committee under the previous Chinese government were from families that amassed enormous fortunes and controlled entire areas of the economy, with corruption \"more severe than at any time in history,\" as the Financial Times quoted a veteran Communist Party member and journalist.\nChina is a one-party dictatorship with powerful military and security forces and high-tech surveillance. It is ruled by gangsters, oligarchs and technocrats.\nChina is, essentially, a Mafiocracy. Yet the language of its technocratic form of governance obscures this reality behind the veneer of impartiality and expertise. Behind the scenes, gangsters rule and families feud.\nThis reality of Chinese politics was revealed in 2012 when one of China's princelings and rising political stars, who was set to gain a seat on the Politburo Standing Committee in 2013, became the subject of a dramatic downfall worthy of the palace intrigue in ancient imperial China.\nBo Xilai's rise to power was turned into a life sentence in prison after his closest adviser sought asylum in a U.S. consulate, fearing for his life and telling the Americans that Bo Xilai's wife had murdered a British banker in a hotel room with cyanide.\nThe fall of Bo Xilai and his family was not a subject the Chinese leadership wanted aired publicly.\nThe popular attention and implications of the story were largely the result of social media being used by an increasing percentage of Chinese citizens. What was intended to be the behind-the-scenes factional power struggles of families vying for top-spots on the Politburo Standing Committee, spilled out into the public as the most dramatic news story since the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, and changed the course of Chinese politics.\nIt is also interesting to note that one of China's top technocrats, Liu He, was invited to the Bilderberg meeting in 2014. In China, Liu He is one of President Xi Jinping's top economic advisers, considered to be largely \"pro-market\" and seen as a prominent reformer.\nThe Wall Street Journal described Liu He's job as,\n\"nothing less than to craft an economic vision that will guide China for the decade to come.\"\nHe has also been referred to as \"China's Larry Summers.\"\nTechnocracy in the West\nMuch like the powerful, dramatic and shocking figures and processes hiding behind the bland language of Chinese politics, the ambiguous language of global economics and finance hides its own ruthless realities.\nBehind the words and actions of central bankers, finance ministers and other top technocrats, we're able to see countries collapse, governments overthrown, populations impoverished, societies destroyed, fascism and racism explode as people riot, rebel and revolt.\nThe language of \"financial technocracy\" belies a world of mass impoverishment, exploitation, domination and immense concentrations of power.\nThese technocrats define and manage global financial and economic policy, construct the ideology the justifies the rule of the oligarchy, and implement policy which is intended to protect and expand the interests of that oligarchy.\nAs central bankers demand \"fiscal tightening\" and finance ministers implement \"structural reforms,\" the populations of,\n...were plunged into crisis.\nMeanwhile, poverty and unemployment rise, fascist parties emerge, social unrest and riots in the streets become common, suicide rates increase, health and education systems come under strain and collapse, and governing political parties lose legitimacy and turn to police repression to control the crowds.\nEconomic opportunity and political democracy become things of the past. Behind the technocratic language of economics lies a world of brutality.\nBilderberg's structure, members and objectives that promote and expand the power of technocracy are inherently destructive to democracy. Europe's debt crisis, and the technocratic institutions and individuals that managed it, have had profoundly negative consequences on the lives of hundreds of millions of people.\nThe functions of technocracy and the actions of Europe's top technocrats effectively serve the interests of concentrated financial and corporate power.\nThe Bilderberg Group and the Cult of Austerity\nIt could almost be a slogan: Bilderberg brings people together.\nSpecifically, every year, the Bilderberg Group holds secret, \"private\" meetings at four star hotels around the world, bringing together nearly 150 of the world's most influential bankers, corporate executives, dynasties, heads-of-state, foreign policy strategists, central bankers and finance ministers.\nIt also invites the heads of,\nmilitary and intelligence officials\nmedia barons\nParticipants at Bilderberg appreciate having a closed-door forum where they can speak openly and directly to one other - and of course, not to us. But perhaps we, the people, would also like to hear what they have to say.\nFor the past four years, Bilderbergers have been running around the world preaching the gospel of \"austerity\" and \"structural reform\" - very important terms.\nIf you don't know what they mean, Bilderbergers are working their day jobs to make sure you will learn.\nIf you've been to Bilderberg, chances are you're a fan of austerity:\npromoting it, demanding it, implementing it and profiting from it.\nAusterity has several names and phrases, including \"fiscal consolidation\" and \"balancing the budget.\" There are so many things to call it - but in the end you know it's austerity because the policies are the same and the effects of those policies are, too.\nThere is a reason why political and technocratic language is made to sound so vague and dull: because behind the words lie brutal actions and devastating consequences. If we understood their true meaning, their use would very often be shocking and unacceptable.\nInstead, their use has become common and seemingly inconsequential.\nHere, however, are the consequences:\nAusterity is a set of policies which are, in theory, designed to help a nation or government reduce its \"budget deficit,\" balance its books and, in time, even produce a yearly \"surplus,\" or profit.\nThus, \"austerity measures\" are designed to do one thing: cut spending on almost everything, except, of course, the really important things like military and police, subsidies to large banks and corporations, and debt repayments.\nOtherwise it's like at a clearance sale for countries, where everything must go.\nThis is how the story generally works:\nA country is in the midst of a \"fiscal crisis.\"\nIt must make a very large interest payment on a debt it owes to some very large banks. These banks individually control more wealth and assets than most of the countries they deal with. Collectively, the banks hold more wealth and assets than any other single group in the world, and they always want their pound of flesh. When a country needs money, banks are there to help.\nThen the country is in their debt, with regular interest payments at a premium. A country can borrow an enormous sum of money by doing this, and not just from banks but from an array of financial institutions.\nApart from direct loans, this money is often borrowed in a very specific way.\nA country is in need of financing its budget over the coming year, so it plans what is called a \"bond sale.\" Bonds are financial instruments (aka, numbers on screens) that represent government or corporate debt.\nGovernments sell their bonds in the \"open market,\" and when a government sells its bonds, the buyers are typically other nations, banks, asset management firms, sovereign wealth funds, international organizations and rich people.\nThese parties \"purchase\" the bond at a set price, providing cash which that government puts in its treasury or finance ministry. In return, the newly purchased bond is a promise of future profits. It comes with a set interest rate and agreed upon dates for future payments.\nThe government gets to fund its budget and manage its ministries and policies, while the banks earn interest - and influence.\nThe arrangement suits both parties, so long as it keeps going forever. But of course, it doesn't. Eventually, the country builds up a substantial overall debt. Its interest payments become much larger and more frequent. Its need to borrow becomes much greater, and in ever greater amounts.\nOn top of managing its budget, the government now has to pay huge sums of money to the global financial cartel. If the government can't fund its budget, provide services and pay employees, it's a government that is likely to collapse. But if it doesn't pay its interest to the banks, then the government will almost certainly collapse.\nThis is because it has entered the world of global financial warfare.\nIf a nation looks like it's facing such a situation (which we call a \"fiscal crisis\"), financial markets tend to lose confidence in that country's ability to repay its debts, and the downward spiral proceeds.\nThey now begin to see the country as a \"risk,\" and suddenly institutions like credit ratings agencies are downgrading the country's rating, just like a credit card company downgrades your individual rating. There are only three ratings agencies that dominate almost the entire global market for rating credit, so when they declare a downgrade, it becomes the gospel.\nThis means that once a country is officially a risk, the financial institutions that continue to purchase its bonds (i.e. debt) can demand a much higher interest rate on future payments, since those institutions are taking a greater risk.\nAt this point, one of two things happens.\neither financial markets continue to purchase the country's bonds with higher interest rates\nor they decide that the country is too much of a risk and they refuse to fund it further\nIf they continue funding, the country continues to make its payments, though it remains unable to fund its regular functions.\nThe country is left in a perpetual fiscal crisis whereby the interest payments get larger and the crisis gets deeper. This continues until financial markets stop purchasing debt.\nThe country is now in a major crisis. This is when rich, powerful governments and international organizations come to the \"rescue\" with money to lend - specifically, the United States, Germany, Britain, France, Japan, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). But their money comes with strict conditions.\nThese conditions have been defined and demanded beforehand by the major banks and financial institutions, and by the plethora of economists, central banks and finance ministries that support them.\nThese are the \"experts\" and technocrats of global economic governance.\nSuch conditions require a country to \"fix the problem\" that created its fiscal crisis. But the main problem facing countries, according to bankers, economists, technocrats and politicians, is that they spend far too much money on social services that benefit their populations. Therefore, in order for a country to be able to borrow, it must implement \"correct\" policies designed to balance its budget and restore public finances.\nThese policies are collectively described as \"austerity measures,\" and the process of implementing them is frequently referred to as \"fiscal consolidation.\"\nLong story short: governments must cut spending.\nThis means that healthcare, education, pensions, welfare and social services must be drastically gutted, masses of public sector employees must be fired, and taxes must be increased.\nThus, austerity creates a new class of unemployed, pushed into poverty and deprived of all the resources that are meant to help the poor and disadvantaged, let alone everyone else. The economy goes into a deep depression as people stop spending and businesses collapse, unemployment and poverty soar, suicide and mortality rates increase, and racial and ethnic conflicts erupt.\nAll of this is done so that a country is able to get a large loan (sometimes called a national bailout) from institutions like the IMF, European Union and the central banks of powerful U.S., Japanese and European nations. This loan is provided in order to pay the interest the country owes to the global financial cartel.\nPopulations are impoverished and societies are devastated in order to pay interest to global banks. All of this happens as a result of numbers on screens.\nThis is \"austerity,\" or \"fiscal consolidation,\" as we know it.\nEither coupled with or following from austerity measures, lenders and bankers demand that the conditions of the loans include not only \"necessary\" austerity measures, but also important \"structural reforms.\"\nThis bland term hides policies and objectives behind it that have the effect of radically altering the entire structure of the economy over a period of several years or even decades. These \"reforms\" will make the economy strong and \"competitive\" again, and bring the country out of its austerity-induced depression.\nTypical structural reforms include privatizing all state-owned companies, assets and resources, which allow foreign companies, states and banks to purchase important national assets cheaply (and provide a short cash infusion in the process).\nCountries then have to further \"liberalize\" markets by reducing any and all government protections and regulations over specific sectors of the economy, allowing foreign banks and corporations to \"compete\" on an \"even playing field.\"\nThis forces local and national industries, businesses and communities to compete against some of the largest transnational corporations in the world, many with more wealth and assets than their entire country is worth.\nAs a result, foreign investors can afford to out-compete the local economy by providing cheaper products and services while maintaining global profits. Local businesses cannot compete, so they fail or are bought up.\nThis often contributes to growing unemployment.\nOne of the key \"structural reforms\" demanded is \"labor flexibility.\" In countries with unions, workers rights, pensions and protections, where the labor force has institutional power, the labor market is often considered \"rigid.\" It does not bend to the wishes and demands of corporations and financial markets that want labor to be \"flexible\" to their demands.\nWhat do they demand? Cheap, exploitable labor.\nImplementing \"labor flexibility\" means it's necessary to dismantle labor protections, regulations and benefits. Essentially, it's a war on the working class.\n\"Structural reforms,\" in essence, open up a nation, its resources and its population to be controlled, exploited and plundered by the world's largest banks and corporations.\nThese would be hard policies to sell if those who sold them spoke plainly. Instead, they describe a world in which nations need to \"increase competitiveness\" and implement the necessary \"structural reforms\" to create \"economic growth.\"\nThe point is that it's all so technical, you're not supposed to understand it.\nBut actually, it's pretty simple. Which is why, every day, more and more of us are getting the message.",

The management did not divulge who had purchased the bicycle.\nIt was revealed at the function that Hero now has 200 models of cycles, and their daily production is nearly 1,650 cycles. To celebrate the day, the management gave 150 cycles to needy persons all over the state, as per the list presented by the chairmen of the various Improvement Trusts in the state.",

The backdrop for the work is once again ideal, however.\n\"It's extremely warm out here so we've got to be careful with the times we train and that's early in the morning and evenings,\" he said. \"We've come out here to get the fitness and the heat and we're certainly being put through it.\"\nThe 31-year-old hasn't had that long an off-season though, with international duty calling earlier this month.\n\"I didn't really stop after the season, I had to obviously keep myself fit for going away with Scotland because that level is another step up. I had to keep myself in good shape and that's what I did.\n\"It was a tough week away to be quite honest, in Scotland and Croatia. We got a good result at the end of it and I came home happy and had a couple of weeks off before returning to the club.\"\nStill in reasonably good shape, Gilks no longer worries about the demands of pre-season and has adapted his body to suit.\n\"As I get older I stop worrying about it so much. As a kid you had to come back and be up there with the pros and you're still trying to make your mark on the game,\" he admitted. \"It's about managing it and as you do get older, with more experience, you know how your body feels and what you've got to do to keep your fitness up.\"\nOne change to his training ground routine is the arrival of Matt Murray in Portugal, with the former Wolves man taking sessions with the keepers.\n\"He's a great bloke. I've met him on a few occasions just to say 'hello' really but I'm getting to know him and he's good man and a good coach. You wouldn't argue with him and tell him you don't want to do something because he's a man-beast,\" he joked.",

Over 20 shots reigned in on The Seagulls' goal yet Pool had to settle for a 1-1 draw after conceding a goal described as, \"as soft as a wet potato\" by Holloway.\nOllie left on the morning of the away game at Derby County (Saturday 3 November) leaving Steve Thompson in charge for the matches at Derby and Sheffield Wednesday.\nMichael Appleton was announced as Pool's new boss the day after the 2-0 win at Hillsborough - the start of his 65-day spell on the Fylde Coast.\nHis opening four games set the tone for his tenure with four consecutive draws with Bolton, Bristol City, Watford and Birmingham; three of which were at home.\nAppleton's first win came at Peterborough on 1 December where a drab first-half was followed up by an emphatic second-half showing in which they fired in four goals to take the points.\nA draw with Holloway's Palace superseded the win at London Road in an emotional affair, before a comfortable home win over Blackburn Rovers, which turned out to be Appleton's second and last win as Blackpool boss.\nIn the last game before Christmas The Seasiders had 24 shots to Wolves' five yet suffered a 2-1 defeat, leaving supporters and players alike scratching those heads once again as to how Pool left pointless.\nIt was a similar story on Boxing Day at the John Smith's Stadium where many chances came and went before Huddersfield scored with their only shot on target. Nathan Delfouneso's clever finish in stoppage time rescued Blackpool from suffering back-to-back defeats.\nThe manner in which The Seasiders performed in the games either side of Christmas cued a post-match response of: \"eventually I do believe someone will take a tonking,\" from Appleton.\nIt was hard to disagree at the time, but it wasn't going to come whilst the former Portsmouth manager was at the helm, as he was to take charge of just a further two league games before he made the short trip across Lancashire to Blackburn Rovers.\nOn Thursday we will review the third quarter of Blackpool's campaign, which saw the end of Michael Appleton, a longer caretaker stint for Steve Thompson and the introduction of Paul Ince...",

        "raw_content": "Megavitamin and mineral therapy to successfully treat psychosis.\nFor those afflicted with bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia or any form of psychosis, successful treatment is vital. Unfortunately, psychiatric medications often fall short when a lack of specific vitamins and minerals may be at the root of the problem.\nIt is apparent that proper diet, nutrition, and clean drinking water are the foundation for physical and emotional well-being. However, often the very individuals who are ill are not able to make healthy choices for themselves. This is why assistance and advocacy for those afflicted is so important.\nDr. Abraham Hoffer M.D., Ph.D., F.R.C.P.S. (Canada) has researched and tested extensively the use of megavitamins to treat Psychosis.\nhttp://www.4optimallife.com/Alternative-Medicines-Cures-For-Schizophrenia-Mental-Illness.html\nEven though the next documentary entails a discussion of how corporations are influencing governmental law, within the context of the short video, the author tells the story about his bi-polar, schizophrenic wife who committed suicide, and then discusses how he came to explore methods to prevent his two children from falling into the same illness.\nHe states that his children were exhibiting symptoms of bi-polar, schizophrenia and, with his research, discovered that mega-vitamins and minerals, taken daily, removed the symptoms over time. He indicated that the difference between an unbalanced and balanced mind may simply be the presence of one mineral or vitamin.\nHere is the video link: http://vimeo.com/13024940\nExtracting vitamins and minerals from locally grown vegetables:\nSt. John's Wort as a successful treatment to Depression:\nThis next web link will enlighten any reader to the researched benefits of St. John's Wort. Grant yourself the favor and take this herbal component most seriously.\nhttp://www.hypericum.com/\nWearing dark sunglasses and a wide brimmed hat is recommended when taking the herb regularly.\nhttp://www.raysahelian.com/stjohn.html\nAs a final note, the harmful side-effects to our bodies from eating processed, hydrogenated, or genetically engineered foods such as cloned beef and salmon must always be taken seriously:\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B9MeO3SRxU&NR=1\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSpkLk0vYmk&feature=related\nL.Beckman\nI just finished reading a vitamin therapy book that briefly mentioned Dr. Hoffer's research on vitamin therapy for schizophrenia. I was intrigued, so I searched for more info on the internet and was led to your website. I am in the process of pouring over all of the info and links that you have on your website. I am a nursing student and I feel that I know there is more to mental illness than what they are teaching us in school. I am getting ready to prepare a class assignment on schizophrenia and I plan to include the nutritional aspect of it. Thank you for doing what you have done here!\nYour writing has impressed me. It\u2019s simple, clear and precise. I will definitely recommend you to my friends and family. Regards and good luck.\nmother of a bi-polar link\nI discovered Dr. Hoffer thirty + years ago because of my favorite aunt who was diagnosed as having Schizophrenia. Then my daughter became bi-polar at the age of 24. I took both to see Dr. Hoffer in Victoria, B.C. and both followed his vitamin regime. My Aunt was up in her 80s by then and had difficulty in swallowing the pills. My daughter however has been following Dr. Hoffer's vitamin/niacin treatment plan and has not suffered a \"break\" in decades. . She works and enjoys a decent normal life. I believe we owe this to Dr. Hoffer. He was a wonderful man and very courageous. There still is not much acknowledgement of the benefits of vitamins and good nutrition in the treatment of mental illness or cancer which Hoffer had also done a lot of research on. Our Doctors and our Governments are not well educated when it comes to vitamins or nutrition except for the very obvious.\nThank you for your helpful and insightful comment. I am grateful your daughter has done so well over the years. Dr. Hoffer once said something like the following: \"A person may be one mineral or one vitamin shy of perfect health\".\nAlthough Dr. Abraham Hoffer received little support from the medical industry with regards to his research, many thousands of individuals experiencing psychosis were successfully treated with his megavitamin and mineral therapy. His contribution to healing and health care will be cherished by many.",

        "raw_content": "The Cerro Rico or Rich Hill (also known as Cerro de Potosi) is the largest silver deposit in the world, and in 1987 the UNESCO named it a world heritage site. Located in the Andes near the city of Potosi in Bolivia, the Cerro is often said to be \u201cmade of silver\u201d, because of the vast amount of silver that was mined (and continues to be mined) in this mountain for centuries. It was this wealth that funded Spain during the New World Spanish Empire period, and also made the city of Potosi the second largest city of the New World.\nAround the 1800s began the mining of tin and ore as a solution to the lack of silver in the mines, this led to a slow decline in the economy of Potosi and Bolivia. However to this very day the Cerro is still mined for silver, tin, ore, lead, zinc, and employs about 15,000 miners. Many of which due to inferior working conditions such as daily inhalation of dust, and the lack of modern tools and protective equipment has cause some of the miners to contract silicosis, an occupational lung disease that in most cases means a life expectancy of about 40 years. The Cerro Rico is also infamously known as \u201cThe Mountain That Eats Men\u201d it\u2019s said that up to 8 million miners have died in this mountain since the 16th century.\nCerro Rico \u2013 El Tio\nSuch is the fear of this mountain that the miners pray to El Tio or The Uncle a lord of the underworld, which is said to offer protection to the miners. In the mines can be found many statues of this demon-like looking spirit, El Tio watches over the mines and is believed to bring destruction if it\u2019s not fed. So in order to ensure protection from El Tio miners bring offerings; alcohol, coca leaves, and cigarettes. Also some of the locals from Potosi ritually sacrifices a llama and smear the blood at the entrance of the mines. However most of the miners and the people in general of Potosi and Bolivia are in fact 80% Catholic, they simply believe in both El Tio and Jesus, this is their culture. After centuries and centuries of constant mining for silver a sinkhole appeared in 2011 at the top of the mountain, although the sinkhole was filled with ultra-light cement, the summit still sinks a few centimeters each year.\nMany locals fear that the entire city of Potosi will one day sink, either due to the sinkhole itself or because of the loss of the city\u2019s main source of income. Likewise, the \u201cuncontrolled mining operations\u201d have risked \u201cdegrading the site\u201d to such an extent that in 2014 the UNESCO added this city and Potosi to the list of endangered sites. What a shame to lose such an incredible and historic place, but as the old saying goes; \u201cyou don\u2019t know what you\u2019ve got until it\u2019s gone\u201d.",

        "title": "Bahrain: avoiding the first sovereign sukuk default? - Bond Vigilantes",
        "raw_content": "Bahrain spreads have widened in recent months, despite the rise in oil prices. The market is focusing on the $750 million Bahrain Sukuk maturing on November 22, 2018. Given that the country\u2019s international reserves are estimated at around $2.1 billion, the country will need additional funding to repay it. The market consensus is that Bahrain will receive financial support from neighbouring Saudi Arabia and potentially other Gulf Cooperation Countries, who will seek to avoid the economic, financial contagion and pressures on their own economies and currency pegs should a default (and de-peg) ensue. The fact that the Bahrain is a relatively small economy versus its neighbours is another reason why the markets believe that it is a relatively small price to pay in exchange for diffusing the problem into the future. It is not clear, however, what kind of conditions its neighbours would demand in exchange for support. Would they require fiscal tightening, so that Bahrain\u2019s debt dynamics can start stabilizing in a few years? But what if the market consensus is wrong, the support does not materialize and Bahrain cannot pay its sukuk?\nWhy are markets starting to worry about a Bahrain default? Debt has doubled in just 3 years, to over 90% of GDP, as the decline in oil prices negatively impacted the fiscal position of the oil exporters in the Middle East. Unlike, most of its neighbours, however, the fiscal adjustment required (i.e. reducing some expenditures such as subsidies and benefits or broadening or increasing non-oil taxes, including VAT) has been very slow.\nGiven a large debt stock and a sizeable fiscal deficit (flow), it appears that Bahrain\u2019s debt dynamics will continue to deteriorate, especially if borrowing costs, which have been relatively low thus far reflecting debt that had been issued at lower interest rates a few years ago, increase further. Increasing US rates continue to be transmitted very quickly into Bahrain\u2019s financial sector due to its currency peg and this is not helping either. Even with Brent in the mid-70s, Bahrain\u2019s spreads remain elevated, signalling that for risk premia to decline, either much higher levels of oil prices, an explicit statement by neighbouring countries detailing financial support or an announcement of a large fiscal adjustment by the government is required.\nThe fact that the security maturing in November is a sukuk adds more uncertainty due to there having been some corporate sukuk defaults in recent years (with the exception of Dana Gas ($700 million, Al Mudarabah) and Golden Belt ($650 million, Al Ijara)) which have been relatively small and limited to a handful of bonds. A Bahrain default, if it were to happen, would be the first sovereign sukuk default, comprising of 4 sukuks and 9 conventional bonds, totalling almost $15 billion. Sovereign conventional bond defaults for larger issuers with numerous bonds and a wide investor base can be complex and its resolution time consuming. The Argentina 2001 default and subsequent legal battle with holdouts took over a decade to resolve. Venezuela and PDVSA bonds were issued under different legal structures, are held by a wide array of investors and will likely take many years to be restructured. Bahrain, incidentally, is not part of the JPM emerging market bond indices as the country is classified as high-income (like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait). Oman, however, is part of the indices as it is not considered a high-income country.\nSukuk defaults have additional legal layers of uncertainty versus a conventional bond (for discussions on Sukuk defaults and legal considerations, see here and here). The trust agreement is normally governed by English law, while the underlying lease agreements (the asset-based part of the sukuk) are governed by national law, Bahraini law in the case of its own sukuks. Finally, whether or not the structure is Sharia compliant, is subject to a third interpretation. The rating agencies do not seem to explicitly take into account the legal risks when rating the transactions. One of them, has stated that \u2018XXX does not express an opinion on whether the relevant transaction documents are enforceable under any applicable law. However, XXX\u2019s rating on the certificates reflects its belief that XXX would stand behind its obligations. When assigning ratings to the sukuk issuance, XXX does not express an opinion on its compliance with sharia principles.\u2019\nThe oddity is that, despite being far more complex from a legal standpoint, spreads on Bahrain sukuks are currently far lower than the spread on its conventional bonds. That is largely because of the strong local support and demands for sukuks vs conventional bonds in recent weeks. Some local investors also cannot sell an instrument below par, as this will require them to account for its market to market loss and may also not be permitted according to Islamic finance. Many international investors have also invested in sukuks, but have the ability to arbitrage between sukuks and conventional bonds as they do not have the same market-to-market considerations or a preference for sharia vs non-sharia compliant instruments.\nGiven the potential legal complexities should a default occur, not to mention the underlying sovereign credit risk, investors are not being compensated for the risks on Bahrain\u2019s sukuks.\nCategorised as: Countries sovereign debt\nTagged: Bahrain oil sukuk",

        "raw_content": "On War and Leadership\nThe Words of Combat Commanders from Frederick the Great to Norman Schwarzkopf\nBy: Owen S. Connelly\nWhat can we learn about leadership and the experience of war from the best combat leaders the world has ever known? This book takes us behind the scenes and to the front lines of the major wars of the past 250 years through the words of twenty combat commanders. What they have to say--which is remarkably similar across generational, national, and ideological divides--is a fascinating take on military history by those who lived it. It is also worthwhile reading for anyone, from any walk of life, who makes executive decisions.\nThe leaders showcased here range from Frederick the Great to Norman Schwarzkopf. They include such diverse figures as Napoleon Bonaparte, commanders on both sides of the Civil War (William Tecumseh Sherman and Stonewall Jackson), German and American World War II generals (Rommel and Patton), a veteran of the Arab-Israeli wars (Moshe Dayan), and leaders from both sides of the Vietnam War (Vo Nguyen Giap and Harold Moore). What they have had in common is an unrivaled understanding of the art of command and a willingness to lead from the front. All earned the respect and loyalty of those they led--and moved them to risk death.\nThe practices of these commanders apply to any leadership situation, whether military, business, political, athletic, or other. Their words reveal techniques for anticipating the competition, leading through example, taking care of the \"troops,\" staying informed, turning bad luck to advantage, improvising, and making bold decisions.\nLeader after leader emphasizes the importance of up-front \"muddy boots\" leadership and reveals what it takes to persevere and win. Identifying a pattern of proven leadership, this book will benefit anyone who aspires to lead a country, a squadron, a company, or a basketball team. It is a unique distillation of two and a half centuries of military wisdom.\n\"A superb and thought-provoking primer from masters of the art of command on the timeless elements of leadership that can be followed to help overcome any adversity.\"--Military Heritage \"This book has a rich compilation of leadership traits, characteristics, and principles that some of the great battle captains of the past have adhered to. It provides an exceptional reference for comparison for officers toady.\"--Major General Harry W. Jenkins, Marine Corps Gazette \"Owen Connelly has done us a favor by scouring the writings of the world's foremost warrior-leaders and presenting their thoughts in one well-connected volume.\"--John S. Chilstrom, Air Power History \"This is an excellent book... This is a book that is a pleasure to read, not simply dip into. It is an excellent choice for anyone interested in command and leadership of troops. It also would be a useful addition to any military history course covering the past two centuries.\"--Ronald L. Spiller, Journal of Military History\nThe Modern Originals: Frederick the Great (1713-1786) and Napoleon (1769-1821) p. 9\nWilliam Tecumseh Sherman (1820-1891) p. 20\nStonewall Jackson (1824-1863) p. 33\nJohn Singleton Mosby (1833-1916) p. 52\nThomas Edward Lawrence (1888-1935): \"\"Lawrence of Arabia\"\" p. 69\nArchibald Percival Wavell (1883-1950) p. 89\nErwin Johannes Eugen Rommel (1891-1945) p. 101\nGeorge S.

        "raw_content": "Tehran's reformist mayor was replaced on Tuesday following claims he was threatened with arrest if he did not step down. Mohammad Ali Najafi, who took power after reformists swept the council elections last May, said he was suffering from unspecified health problems that required extensive treatment.\nBut his allies say he was under pressure after accusing his conservative predecessors of corruption. Morteza Alviri, a member of the council and a former mayor, said on Sunday that Najafi was summoned one night to the prosecutor's office.\n\"I'm informed he was summoned, not in a polite manner\", Alviri said in a video posted on the reformist Khabaronline website. He said Najafi was woken while in bed.\n\"I heard he was threatened with arrest,\" Alviri added. Najafi had attracted criticism from hardliners last month after attending a show at City Hall for Iranian Women's Day in which schoolgirls performed a traditional dance.\nIslamic law in Iran prohibits public dancing, and prosecutor general Mohammad Jafar Montazeri said the show included \"acts against public morality\" and Islamic tradition.\nNajafi resigned a few days later, citing health reasons he had not previously mentioned.\nThe council rejected his decision, prompting the prosecutor general to accuse them of playing \"a political game\" and calling on Najafi to submit a fresh resignation, which he did on Monday.\nThe second resignation was approved by the council on Tuesday, and he has been temporarily replaced by a deputy, Samiollah Hosseini Makarm.\nNajafi's supporters strongly criticized the prosecutor's involvement, and asked why he was not instead focused on the corruption allegations revealed by the mayor.\nReformists displaced the conservatives for the first time in 14 years in last year's municipal elections.\nIn January, Najafi presented a report on the previous administration, run by former police chief and presidential candidate Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, saying large sums had been diverted from council contracts into officials' pockets.\nThe report said thousands were being kept on the payroll in non-existent jobs, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency, and an extra 13,000 added ahead of the election.\n\"Inside the municipality, there have been many serious financial violations, but no one has been invited to explain these violations,\" Alviri told Khabaronline.\nMohammad Ali Najafi, Tehran, mayor, municipality, Iran",

        "title": "Why Your Website Isn't Generating Leads | Brainstorm Studio",
        "raw_content": "Design | Marketing\nYour business is like a shark \u2013 if it doesn\u2019t move forward it dies. Moving forward means growth, increased sales, and the opening or expansion of markets. But to do this, you need leads \u2013 qualified leads. As with most businesses nowadays, your website is probably the best tools for generating these leads. The question is, \"Is it working?\" More specifically, \"Is it converting visitors into qualified leads?\" If not, the six pointers below could help make it happen:\n1. Make Yourself Visible\nIf you are not showing up in search engines, or no other websites link to yours, you are essentially invisible to prospective clients. To change this, you will need to explore search engine marketing(SEM) and search engine optimization(SEO). These are big topics -too big to explore in this article \u2013 which you can\u2019t afford to ignore any longer.\n2. Be Compatible\nIf prospective clients are finding you, but they do not come back after the first visit, one issue may be compatibility. Does your website work in different internet browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari? Have you tested it on both Mac and PC platforms? How does it perform on smaller notebook screens? Can it be seen on a mobile device?\u2026 Don\u2019t assume that potential clients have equipment or technology similar to yours. Instead, study your target demographic and try to account for the variety of computer screens, browsers, and platforms they may be using. Then, design your website accordingly and test it in each environment.\n3. Be Action-Oriented\nAre you the owner of a website that looks great but does little to generate leads? What may be lacking is a clear call-to-action \u2013 a link, button, or other site element that tells visitors, \"Do this!\" To correct this all too common problem, begin by defining exactly what you want visitors to do on your website. Do you want them to call? Fill out a web form? Make an online purchase? Consider what type of action holds the most potential value for your business. Then, encourage visitors to act by placing prominent and compelling calls to action on your website. Here\u2019s an example: Let\u2019s say you want visitors to fill out a contact form so that you can add them to your lead base. Consider placing a prominent call to action button on your website offering a Free Catalog or Free Phone Consultation. When visitors click through, they arrive at the contact form page, where they are required to submit their user data in order to obtain the free offering.\nReality check: You\u2019re not the only game in town. Potential clients aren\u2019t just looking at your website, they are looking at many others as well and comparing all of them. Showing what makes you different is crucial to your success and survival. If you have a lot of experience in your field or the technology you harness is unique, make sure people know about it. When writing articles, use your own voice instead of trying to sound like everyone else. If you have a unique design aesthetic, don\u2019t be afraid to flaunt it. It\u2019s a competitive world, leave an impression.\nPotential customers like to know that people just like them have tried out a service with positive results. You need to show that you have helped others in the past. Provide testimonials and case studies to make your message clear. Once potential customers see that you have a track record helping people just like them, you\u2019ll gain trust and credibility \u2013 traits that go a long, long way in the world of business.\nThis one is pretty straightforward: if your site never changes, there is no reason for clients or potential clients to ever return to it. Furthermore, Google and the other major search engines know how old your content is, and this affects you search engine rankings, which in turn affects how many visitors and leads you generate. The solution: come up with a clear and manageable plan for updating your site. Blogs are a great way to start \u2013 they are easy to update and they provide a platform for you to write about a wide variety of topics. Consider investing in a content management system (CMS) as well. A quality CMS will allow you to manage and edit nearly all aspects of your website using a user-friendly interface.\nAt the end of the day, in order to grow, you will need new clients. But in order to win new clients, you first need to generate leads. If that isn\u2019t happening on your current website, following the 7 steps above could make all the difference in the world. The next step would be to analyze, track, measure and confirm your success using Google Analytics. But to find out about that, you\u2019ll have to wait for our next post. Stay tuned\u2026\nTo read more really swell articles, follow our blog at Long Island web design company, Brainstorm Studio.",

        "raw_content": "Who is Counselling and Psychotherapy for?\nDeciding to come to counselling or therapy can be a daunting decision. Some people still view the decision to come to counselling or therapy as one of weakness and a sign that they cannot cope when they should.\nThis belief is unhelpful and could not be further from the reality. Recognising that we have a challenge, problem or issue that we wish to tackle takes courage and is a way of taking responsibility for our life in a healthy and constructive way with a focus on change.\nAt Brighton and Hove Psychotherapy, we firstly identify how we can help you and then work with you to achieve your goals for change enabling you to take more and more responsibility for your life and your future, leaving the traumas of the past behind. We offer counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, couples, families and groups.\nGenerally we find that our clients come to see us for help or support with issues falling into one of these areas:\nLife can at times become overwhelming or behaviour traits that we have kept under control up until now can get the better of us. When we are in a period of crisis, counselling or psychotherapy can be invaluable in enabling us to regain some control of our lives and in breaking painful or difficult patterns or in coming to terms with loss. Present crises can be just that \u2013 an overwhelming situation that we need support in navigating \u2013 or it can be a trigger that has caused a past unresolved trauma to resurface in our life which is making it difficult to separate our present experience from our past wounds.\nOften people choose to come into therapy at a time when they wish to reflect on how they are living their lives and become more aware of how the choices we are making contribute directly to our experience of being in the world and relating to ourselves and others. We cannot choose everything that happens to us, but through therapy we can learn to choose how we are in relation to what has happened / is happening to us. Deeper therapeutic change happens when we are in regular therapy and have time and space to think about who we are and how we are experiencing the world, our relationships with others and our relationship with ourself: in other words, long-term change can be considered when we are not in crisis.\nCounselling can be useful in helping us discover what we want and how we can go about making that a reality. This may sound simple, but often we repress our desires out of fear of the consequences \u2013 we find we are scared of getting what we want. Avoiding our desire and seeking safety, leaves us feeling anxious, depressed and lacking a sense of fulfilment and meaning. Clients also use psychotherapy as a tool to enable them to remain \u2018on-track\u2019 and focused on their goals and objectives. In this sense ongoing psychotherapy becomes an invaluable tool in enabling us to cope and thrive in our lives.\nBeing in a relationship is never easy. It is common for couples to find themselves in a crisis or unable to relate to each other at some point in their relationship. Couple therapy enables you and your partner to feel supported as you are guided in re-establishing honest communication with each other, so that you can work out how best to move forward in your relationship. You may rediscover what originally brought you together; you may need to move out of painful and dysfunctional patterns of relating to create a new relationship. Or, it may mean that the relationship has run its course. Couple therapy provides a safe, supportive and facilitative environment to focus on your relationship. As couple therapists we are not invested in whether you stay together or split. Our goal is to help you both work out what you want and to assist you in establishing a dialogue together.\nPlease click here for our contact details and to book an initial consultation. We have practices in Lewes and Hove and have clients from right across Sussex as well as London and further afield \u2013 Get In Touch today to find out more.",

        "raw_content": "Underuse of anti-clotting therapies common among patients with atrial fibrillation who have a stroke\nInadequate use of anticoagulation therapies was prevalent among patients with atrial fibrillation who experienced a stroke, according to a study appearing in the March 14 issue of JAMA.\nAtrial fibrillation (AF) is an independent risk factor for stroke, increases stroke risk by a factor of 4 to 5, and accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of all ischemic strokes. While the burden of AF-related stroke is high, AF is a potentially treatable risk factor. Numerous studies have demonstrated that vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin, or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs), reduce the risk of ischemic stroke. Based on these data, current guidelines recommend adjusted-dose warfarin or NOACs over aspirin for stroke prevention in high-risk patients with AF.\nYing Xian, M.D., Ph.D., of the Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C., and colleagues conducted a study that included 94,474 patients who had an acute ischemic stroke and known history of AF admitted to hospitals participating in the Get With the Guidelines-Stroke program.\nOf these patients:\n84 percent were not receiving therapeutic anticoagulation prior to stroke\n30 percent were not receiving any antithrombotic treatment prior to stroke\n7.6 percent were receiving therapeutic warfarin\n8.8 percent were receiving NOACs\n40 percent were receiving antiplatelet therapy only\nTherapeutic anticoagulation was associated with lower odds of moderate or severe stroke and lower odds of in-hospital mortality.\n\"Atrial fibrillation is a highly prevalent and important, but treatable, risk factor for stroke. Despite numerous international guideline recommendations, many patients fail to receive proper treatment for stroke prevention,\" the authors write.

        "raw_content": "king of Castile and Leon\nAlternative Titles: Alfonso el Sabio, Alfonso the Learned, Alfonso the Wise, Alphonso X\nAlfonso X, byname Alfonso the Wise, or the Learned, Spanish Alfonso el Sabio, (born November 23, 1221, Burgos, Castile [Spain]\u2014died April 4, 1284, Sevilla), king of Castile and Leon from 1252 to 1284.\nAlfonso\u2019s father, Ferdinand III, conquered Andalusia and imposed tribute on the remaining Muslim states in Spain\u2014Murcia and Granada. His mother, Beatrice, was granddaughter of the Holy Roman emperor Frederick I. Alfonso, already known as a scholar, became king in 1252. He had many scholars in his traveling court, and he was an active participant in their writing and editing. Some were experts on Roman law, which Alfonso hoped to make the basis of a uniform code for his lands. The court, gifts to friends, and foreign intrigue proved expensive, and Alfonso taxed heavily.\nAlfonso crushed a Muslim revolt in 1252 and a revolt by nobles in 1254. Morocco, Granada, and Murcia invaded in 1264, but Alfonso won with Aragonese help and annexed Murcia. In 1272, a revolt and withdrawal to Granada by nobles forced him to confirm local privileges. In 1273 Alfonso founded and granted privileges to the Mesta, a guild of migratory shepherds.\nAlfonso claimed many foreign titles, notably that of Holy Roman emperor in 1256. In 1257, bribes won him four electoral votes for emperor to three for Richard of Cornwall, but Richard, unlike Alfonso, could go to Germany. In 1275 Richard died, and Alfonso went to France to appeal to Pope Gregory X, who persuaded him to renounce his claim.\nWhile Alfonso was in France, Morocco and Granada invaded Castile. Ferdinand, Alfonso\u2019s eldest son, was killed in the fighting. Sancho, Alfonso\u2019s second son, became a hero in defeating the invaders and proclaimed himself heir, disregarding Ferdinand\u2019s sons, who were nephews of the French king. Alfonso recognized Sancho\u2019s claim in 1278 but, under French pressure, became ambiguous in 1281. Taking advantage of grievances against Alfonso, Sancho declared himself regent. Towns and nobles rose against Alfonso, who had to take refuge in Sevilla (Seville). Some of Sancho\u2019s followers deserted, but, after Alfonso died, Sancho took Sevilla and became King Sancho IV.\nAlfonso\u2019s court scholars wrote mostly in Castilian Spanish, which they made a literary language by regularizing the syntax and by borrowing\u2014and defining\u2014words for concepts not previously discussed. In their Premera cr\u00f3nica general, they tried to determine historical facts from chronicle, folklore, and Arabic sources. Less factual was their Gran e general estoria, a world history, with extensive translations from the Old Testament. The Tablas Alfons\u00edes were planetary tables, based on an Arabic source but updated by observations at Toledo 1262\u201372. Siete partidas was the most important law code. It was based on Roman law and contained discourses on manners and morals and an idea of the king and his people as a corporation\u2014superior to feudal arrangements\u2014with the king as agent of both God and the people. After Alfonso\u2019s death, Siete partidas was proclaimed the law of all Castile and Leon in 1348, and the language of Alfonso\u2019s court evolved into modern Castilian Spanish.\nGermany: The Great Interregnum\nThree months after Richard\u2019s election, Alfonso X of Castile, who aspired to the empire in order to strengthen his foothold in Italy, was chosen in similar fashion by the archbishop of Trier, the duke of Saxony, the margrave of Brandenburg, and the duplicitous Otakar.\u2026\n\u2026commenced during the reign of Alfonso X (the Learned, 1252\u201384), who is perhaps best known for the literary and scientific achievements under his direction by scholars whom he summoned to his court.

        "raw_content": "Samsung is about to make a major shift in the way its business works\nBoo-Keun Yoon, president and CEO of Samsung consumer electronics.\nSamsung is looking to move away from its sole focus of hardware, transitioning into a software company. The move, which has been in the works for a while, culminated in the replacement of Samsung's smartphone head yesterday.\nMany in the media put the change down to falling hardware sales, mainly through competition from both the low-end market \u2014 typified by Huawei and Xiaomi \u2014 and the high-end, which is owned by Apple.\nHowever, some analysts are saying that this narrative is wrong.\n\"I think that Samsung is very well positioned,\" said Susana Santos, an analyst for IDC. \"Even if it faces challenges because the market isn't growing, it is well positioned.\"\nThe start of 2015 was rough for Samsung, with two quarters of falling revenue but the third quarter \u2014 which came directly after the launch of the S6 handset \u2014 saw more positive results, growing profits to $6.4 billion (\u00a34.3 billion). The S6 Edge, which features a unique curved display, has been a hit.\n\"In the Android space, Samsung has been able to keep its share of the market,\" said Santos. \"It has been the likes of HTC and Sony which have suffered.\"\nA report from Bloomberg suggests that the incoming head, Koh Dong Jin, brings with him a new focus for Samsung, moving the company's mobile division away from hardware \u2014 which makes up all of its revenue \u2014 and towards software, such as mobile payments.\n\"[Samsung has] established a strong position as one of key technology's leaders in mobile devices but they need more sustainable differentiation and distinctive value attached to their devices this can only come from a shift to software and services,\" said Roberta Cozza, an analyst for Gartner, in an email.\n\"Based on Koh's career background, it suggests Samsung will put more weight on its software focus instead of hardware,\" said analyst Greg Roh. \"The change shows that just the new cycle of hardware offerings won't do much to revive growth. The new leader will try to boost software power and foster new innovations.\"\nSamsung wants to make more per phone by leveraging its software.\nApple has diversified its offerings away from hardware, introducing new initiatives including an iPhone upgrade programme \u2014 in which users pay $32 (\u00a321) a month and receive a new phone every year \u2014 Apple Pay, and Apple Music, a Spotify-like subscription service.\nAnalysts for Goldman Sachs pegged Apple's potential revenue from this subtle shift at $7.6 billion (\u00a35 billion) per month, without breaking a sweat. It's clear that Samsung wants some of that.\nUnder Jin, who previously worked on Samsung Pay, the company will likely move toward offering better software products, many of which will come with a subscription, increasing the revenue generated per device.\nApple, which already makes around $200 (\u00a3133) on every iPhone, also has the benefit of offering the App Store, iTunes, Apple Pay, and more, all of which generate the company revenue. The software and services division of Apple \u2014 which includes exactly these things \u2014 recorded $5 billion (\u00a33.3 billion) in revenue during Q4 2015.\n\"The biggest threat to Samsung is definitely the competition on the lower end,\" said Santos. \"Local players, such as Xiaomi, have been successful in entering local markets.\" Samsung is leaving these markets in 2016, according to Santos, lowering the company's exposure to these risks.\n\"The shift to software is necessary and will be a challenging one for Samsung,\" said Cozza. \"Samsung will need more resources and expertise devoted to this and a truly transformative strategy that will be able to generate software improvements that truly puts the user experience at the center of everything they do.\"\nSamsung has a difficult path ahead, but the company's new focus on moving to monetise users who buy its phones is smart and the appointment of Jin shows that the company is willing to make changes, even if it incurs bad press.\nMore: Samsung Apple",

        "title": "Six Reasons American Political Polarization Will Only Get Worse - Business Insider",
        "raw_content": "Six Reasons American Political Polarization Will Only Get Worse\nSteven Strauss,\nWelcome to the world of dysfunctional Belief Communities.\n\"Americans ... values and basic beliefs are more polarized along partisan lines than at any point in the past 25 years.\" (Pew Research)\nPundits bemoan this polarization, and await a leader who'll cut the Gordian knot of gridlock politics to deliver us to a bi-partisan nirvana. The pundits will have a long wait.\nAmerica's current hyper-partisanship stems from a perfect storm of factors (described below). And it's created Belief Communities -- where people who want to believe patently untrue things (e.g., that President Obama was born in Kenya) are never challenged in their beliefs, and may even be encouraged in their fantasies.\nLet's examine the causes of American political polarization.\n1. Confirmation Bias and Weak Feedback Loops:\n\"When Democrats and Republicans see the same presidential debate on television, both sets of viewers claim that the facts clearly show that their candidate was the winner.\" (Daniel Gilbert)\nWe believe what we want to believe, and we selectively filter out information contradicting our preferences (this is called Confirmation Bias). Convincing us of something we don't want to believe requires: (i) repeated challenge and reinforcement with contradictory information, or (ii) strong immediate feedback loops (e.g., 99.99% of Americans believe a green light means 'go' and a red light means 'stop' because acting contrary to that belief causes car crashes). Unfortunately, many issues about which citizens are most detached from reality have weak feedback loops.\n2. Changing Economics of the Media Industry:\nConfirmation Bias was less of an issue in the 1960s, when Americans got their news from one of three TV networks, and local newspapers were often a monopoly. National TV was regulated and subject to licensing, and networks could lose their licenses for biased or inaccurate reporting. Under these conditions, news wasn't targeted to distinct Belief Communities. Instead, news providers tried to create a common narrative on current events. With the arrival of cable and the web, news media became more like the cereal business -- with different brands targeted at different segments. Through targeting and segmenting, people are told what they want to hear, about topics with non-immediate feedback loops (e.g., basic science and public policy). Fox News is the network of choice for the Right, and many smaller channels/websites are even more micro-targeted, all of which exacerbates the Confirmation Bias problem.\n3. Filter Bubbles: Google/Facebook know whether you're a liberal, conservative, birther, believer in ghosts or whatever -- and your information is tailored to reinforce what you already believe.\n4. Ideologically Safe Congressional Seats:\nAbout 80% of all Congressional Districts are solidly Democratic or Republican. We have bipartisan agreement on one issue -- politicians prefer safe Congressional seats, which sometimes happens naturally, but also because politicians use redistricting to create them. Instead of engaging with challengers from the other party, most members of Congress now engage only with challengers within their own party -- Democrats with their Left, and Republicans with their Right. Bipartisan compromise becomes a dirty word, as a consequence.\n5. Advocacy Industry Expansion:\nOver the past generation, we've seen the rise of special interest groups, often narrowly focused on a single issue. The National Rifle Association, for example, spends $250 million/year fighting gun control. These advocacy groups employ a small army of people at high wages (the head of the NRA is paid $1 million/year). Institutionally, the NRA has every incentive to find new battlegrounds to justify its existence. Replicate this incentivized self-interest for all sorts of narrow issues, mix in even greater ability to raise funds due to Citizen's United -- and you have a formula for polarization.\n6. Lack of a Shared Context:\nThe post-WW II era of bi-partisanship (from the 1940s-1970s) was characterized by a shared context. Americans experienced some combination of: WW I, the Great Depression (25% unemployment rate), and WW II (requiring every healthy draft-age male to serve, with no college deferments). After WW II, Americans all faced the shared challenge of the Cold War. Today, despite a U.S. at war for the past 10 years, fewer than 1% of Americans have served in Afghanistan or Iraq. Neither Romney nor Obama has done military service, and few of their relatives and friends have either. (Note: President Clinton, President Bush, and Governor Romney all had children of appropriate age for military service, but none of them has served.)\nWe can begin to break the polarization cycle with: (i) Stronger public finance for political campaigns to reduce the power of special interest groups; (ii) Discouraging ideologically pure Congressional districts thereby forcing Congressmen to appeal to moderates; (iii) Setting limitations on algorithmic filtering of news; and (iv) Engaging Americans in a shared narrative/experience (e.g., requiring mandatory community service for all high school graduates).\nOtherwise, welcome to the new normal.

        "raw_content": "Home News An \u2018una...\nAn \u2018unacceptably low\u2019 amount of women are up to date on a test that can catch cervical cancer, according to a new study\nCaroline Praderio, Insider\nA microscopic view of cervical cancer.\nAmerican Cancer Society/Getty Images\nA recent study of more than 47,000 women found that many weren\u2019t up to date on the Pap smear, a test that screens for cervical cancer.\nThe study\u2019s author said the rate of cervical cancer screening in this population was \u201cunacceptably low.\u201d\nAnyone who can get cervical cancer should start getting Pap smears at age 21, according to expert recommendations.\nHow often you get tested depends on your age and your test results.\nCervical cancer used to be the top cause of cancer-related death for American women, but cases and deaths related to the disease have dropped significantly in recent decades, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This decline happened largely thanks to widespread adoption of the Pap smear, a screening test that catches abnormalities in cervical cells well before cancer develops.\nBut a new study suggests that many younger women may now be skipping out on this important test.\nFor the study, published in January in the Journal of Women\u2019s Health, researchers used medical records to determine cervical cancer screening rates among more than 47,000 Minnesota women from 2005 to 2016.\nThey found that, in 2016, less than two-thirds of the women ages 30 to 65 were up-to-date with their screenings. The rates were worse among those ages 21 to 29: Only about half of the women in this age group were up-to-date on their screenings in 2016.\nIn a statement about the research, study author and Mayo Clinic family medicine specialist Dr. Kathy MacLaughlin said these rates are \u201cunacceptably low.\u201d\nThe researchers also found racial disparities that MacLaughlin called \u201cespecially concerning.\u201d In the study population, African-American and Asian women were less likely to be current on their Pap smears than white women.\n\u201cWe, as clinicians, must start thinking outside the box on how best to reach these women and ensure they are receiving these effective and potentially life-saving screening tests,\u201d MacLaughlin said in the statement.\nNot sure whether or not you\u2019re due for a Pap smear? Here\u2019s a simple guide to the test itself and how often you should get it.\nA Pap smear may be uncomfortable, but it shouldn\u2019t be painful\nA Pap smear is a quick test that shouldn\u2019t be painful.\nSherry Saye/Shutterstock\nThe Pap smear \u2013 named for its creator, Greek researcher Georgios Papanicolaou \u2013 is a quick test.\nFirst, a doctor inserts a speculum into your vagina to hold it open. Then, they use a small, brush-like tool to gently scrape some cells from your cervix.\n\u201cYou\u2019re going to feel some discomfort, but it should not be painful,\u201d Dr. Jessica Shepherd, OB-GYN and gynecologic surgeon at Baylor University Medical Center, told INSIDER. \u201cIf anyone ever feels pain during a pelvic exam or a Pap smear, then I think that that should be voiced.\u201d\nThe sample of cells is sent to a lab, and your doctor\u2019s office will contact you with the results later. If you get a normal result, you\u2019re good until your next test. If you get an abnormal result, you don\u2019t necessarily have cancer. Most abnormal Pap results are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), a common sexually transmitted infection that typically clears up on its own. But certain high-risk strains of the virus can cause cervical cancer. In fact, HPV is thought to be responsible for more than 90% of cervical cancers, according to the CDC.\nThat means your doctor may need you to come back for further testing to determine how severe your abnormalities are and which HPV strain you might have, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).\nThe frequency of testing depends on your age\nWomen younger than 21 don\u2019t need to get Pap smears.\nThe ACOG\u2019s current recommendation is that women ages 21 to 29 get a Pap smear every three years. (If you\u2019re younger than 21, you don\u2019t need the test yet.)\n\u201cThis is for people who have normal results with no abnormalities,\u201d Shepherd said. \u201cIf the result of your Pap is abnormal, the recommendations will change and you may have to have one every year. Make sure you follow the recommendations of your OB-GYN.\u201d\nFor those ages 30 to 65, the ACOG recommends any one of three options: a Pap smear every three years, an HPV test every five years, or a Pap smear plus an HPV test every five years. (An HPV test is done the same way as a Pap smear, Shepherd said.)\nIn this age group, the rate of cervical cancer is higher, Shepherd said, hence the additional testing.\n\u201cWe know that the leading cause of cervical cancer is exposure to HPV, so that\u2019s why testing for HPV is helpful,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause we know that if a person has been HPV-exposed, we would follow them a little bit more closely.\u201d\nFinally, those over 65 should stop getting Pap smears if they\u2019ve had several years of normal results. (See the ACOG website for specifics.)\nThe Pap smear isn\u2019t the only key player in the fight against cervical cancer\nThe HPV vaccine helps prevent cervical cancer.\nA Pap smear can help detect cervical cancer, but the HPV vaccine helps prevent it from happening in the first place.\nHPV can lead to more than just cervical cancer. Some anal, vaginal, vulvar, penile, and throat cancers are also caused by the virus, according to the CDC.\nThe safe and effective vaccine protects against several cancer-causing strains of HPV. The CDC estimates that the shot could prevent more than 90% of the 33,700 cancers caused by HPV every year in the US.\nRead more: You should probably still get the HPV vaccine \u2013 even if you missed your chance as a kid\nThe CDC recommends the HPV vaccine for kids ages 11 through 12 because it\u2019s most effective when the person getting the shot hasn\u2019t yet had any exposure to the virus via sexual activity. But for anyone who missed their chance when they were younger, the agency also recommends the shot for many young adults up to age 26.\nIf you\u2019re over 26, things are a bit more complicated.\nIn October 2018, the FDA announced that it had approved the HPV vaccine for people up to 45 years old. The approval was based on new research showing that, in older adults, the vaccine is still highly effective in preventing HPV infection, genital warts, and some precancers and cancers, the New York Times reported.\nUnfortunately, insurance may not cover the vaccine for people over 26. As of this writing, the CDC\u2019s recommendations for who should get vaccinated have not changed to reflect the FDA\u2019s expanded approval, and insurance companies will be far more likely more to cover the cost of the shot if it\u2019s recommended by the CDC, the Washington Post reported in October.\nFor now, if you\u2019re older than 26, you may have to pay out of pocket for the vaccine, which could cost between $400 and $500, according to CNN. Talk with your doctor to determine the best choice for you.\nSubtle signs of ovarian cancer that might be easy to miss\n5 things to know about how birth control affects your cancer risks\nA husband and wife who \u2018share everything\u2019 got breast cancer at almost the same time\nHundreds of Americans have developed a rare cancer that\u2019s linked to breast implants, and the FDA is urging doctors to stay alert",

The Post reported that some of the jet\u2019s flights were merely to get it from one side of Los Angeles \u2013 where Musk lives in a five-mansion compound \u2013 to another.\nFrom The Washing Post story:\nMusk\u2019s jet flew roughly 75 times last year to the San Jose airport, the closest stop to Tesla\u2019s headquarters in Palo Alto and car-making factory in Fremont, where Musk often said he was so busy he would end up sleeping among the machines. Dozens of other flights were made to airports near SpaceX\u2019s headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif., and the battery-producing Gigafactory outside Reno, Nev.\nTesla said Musk never used the plane to fly between different spots in Los Angeles. But the jet would fly to meet him at a closer airport if, say, he began his workday at SpaceX\u2019s office on the south side of L.A. and the plane was on the north side, the company said. Some of these repositioning flights only went about 20 miles, the aircraft data show.\nTesla, known in the investment world for its prodigious cash burning, has turned a profit only three times in its history, and never on an annual basis.\nIn June, the company laid off 9% of its workforce, and it laid off another 7% earlier this month.

        "title": "Rear End Accidents in California | SF Injury Lawyer",
        "raw_content": "\u201cRear enders\u201d are the most common type of injury car accidents. Most rear end accidents involve one or both of three key factors: driver inattention by the driver behind, following too closely, or a rapid deceleration by the driver whose car is hit. Many times, rear end accidents occur when there was no quick stopping, and the driver who is hit had been stopped for several seconds or longer.\nWho\u2019s at Fault in Rear End Accidents?\nRear end accidents are almost always the fault of the driver behind. In many rear end accidents, the car that is hit is then pushed in to another car ahead, causing two impacts for the people in that car. In such an accident, the insurance company for the driver who caused the accident may try to claim that the person who was hit actually struck the car ahead first. This claim is usually resolved by asking the driver of the first car how many impacts he/she felt. In a multi-car \u201cpileup,\u201d your claim may have to be made against two or even more drivers from behind. In the multi-car situation, the claim can be greatly complicated by disputes about dividing up the percentage of fault.\nThe primary force upon the occupants of a car hit from behind are to the rear, but there is also a jerking forward which occurs immediately afterward, due to rebound. Neck and back injuries are common in rear enders, as are head injuries, including concussions and traumatic brain injuries. Injuries are often much worse in a rear end accident when the person in the car which is hit is turned to the left or right at the time of impact. The quality of the car\u2019s seat can be a big factor in the extent of injuries in rear enders. Sometimes bucket seat backs will fail in a rearender, in which case it is very important to document this, as it can make for significantly greater injuries.\nRear End Accident Cases\nAs in other types of car accident injury cases, insurance companies always look at rear end accidents to see how much damage the car had. Many carriers wrongly assume that if it did not cost more than $1,000 \u2013 $2,000 to repair the car, then any injuries must be minimal. The carriers can get away with this in many cases, because they know that juries want to see significant damage to the car that was rear-ended. When the car that causes a rear ender, though was braking before the impact, this can cause \u201cbrake dive,\u201d the tendency of a car\u2019s front end to go down under heavy braking. This is turn can cause \u201csubmarining,\u201d where the nose of the car behind partially goes under the bumper of the car it hits. This can cause the car that is rear ended to look as though it was not damaged very much, but often cars hit this way have more damage that is uncovered when the repair shop removes the bumper.\nContact an Attorney for Rear End Accidents\nContact one of the San Francisco injury lawyers at Callaway & Wolf for a free consultation about your car accident case. Callaway & Wolf have practiced together for nearly 20 years, and have handled many rear end accident injury cases in San Francisco, Oakland, Marin, and around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Kirsten Crow, Corpus Christi Caller-Times\nPossible Election Night 2018 surprises include the race for Texas attorney general and a couple of congressional contests.\nKen Paxton and Justin Nelson(Photo11: Campaign photos)\nAUSTIN \u2013 The main characters in Texas\u2019 2018 political drama are without a doubt Democrat Beto O\u2019Rourke and Republican Ted Cruz as their year-and-a-half battle for the U.S. Senate comes crashing to a close.\nBut while Cruz and O\u2019Rourke controll the spotlight, a handful of down-ballot races might end up providing the surprise ending as the curtain comes down when the votes are finally counted Tuesday night.\nHere are a few of the races to keep an eye on as the vote totals come in. It\u2019s not an exhaustive list, but it\u2019s a starting pointing in case you\u2019re keeping score at home.\nATTORNEY GENERAL DOGFIGHT\nIf O\u2019Rourke, the three-term congressman from El Paso who\u2019s relinquishing his safe seat for chance to move up the political ladder, hadn\u2019t jumped in to challenge Cruz it\u2019s a safe bet the Democrats would have put most of their chips on a Houston lawyer named Justin Nelson.\nThe one-time clerk to former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O\u2019Connor is running an aggressive, if somewhat underfunded, campaign against first-term incumbent Ken Paxton. Nelson, through some clever TV and video ads and roadside billboards, has called attention to the fact that Paxton is the only statewide officeholder in Texas ever to seek re-election while under indictment.\nPaxton, who has insisted he\u2019s innocent of the securities fraud charges that have dogged him pretty much his entire term, is not doing much in the way of fighting back. He\u2019s put some TV ads of his own touting in-office accomplishments and calling Nelson a liberal, but mostly he\u2019s betting Texas voters are creatures of habit.\nAnd they\u2019ve been in the habit of voting for Republicans in statewide races since Bill Clinton\u2019s first term as president.\nThere hasn\u2019t been much polling lately in the race, so it\u2019s hard to gauge the effectiveness of Nelson\u2019s effort, but so he\u2019s the only Democrat besides O\u2019Rourke who\u2019s been able to drive and sustain a statewide message.\nMJ HEGAR vs. JOHN CARTER\nRepublican John Carter is a former judge who\u2019s represented a Central Texas congressional district that includes Fort Hood for the past 14 years. It\u2019s been, likely still is, a Republican stronghold. But the part about Fort Hood, one of the largest military posts in the nation, is important, at least this cycle.\nMJ Hegar is a Purple Heart-winning former Air Force helicopter pilot whose commercials about her still fighting after being shot down in Afghanistan and her fight to allow women in uniform to serve in combat roles have gone viral nationally and brought her a ton of money.\nCarter is favored to keep the seat in the Republican column. Hegar is hoping that Democrats in the district that includes some of the Austin suburbs along with veterans and active-duty GIs in and around Fort Hood who are moved by her personal story might be able to flip a red seat blue.\nA DUEL IN DALLAS\nA Republican-held seat that is considered in play pits another 14-year congressional Republican against an upstart Democrat with a compelling backstory. This one\u2019s in Dallas, where former NFL linebacker turned civil rights lawyer Collin Allred is seeking to tackle Pete Session.\nAllred, who played four seasons for the Tennessee Titans, could have a shot. Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump in the district by 2 percentage points in 2016.\nMore: Texas congressional race pits Jerry Jones vs. former NFL player\nTEA LEAVES IN THE TURNOUT\nHow these races and a score of others that could be in play Tuesday night turn out depend on, well, turnout.\nEarly voting totals were off the charts for a Texas midterm election. Analysts whose job it is to plow through arcane and complex data turnout among voters under 40 was up some 400 percent from 2014. Among black and Hispanic voters, it was up some 200 percent. Turnout was up among older and white voter, but not nearly as much.\nThat suggests good news for Democrats.\nBut recall the primaries when early voting figures showed Democrats streaming to the polls in greater numbers than Republicans. That turned out to mirror the old tortoise-and-hare fable.\nDemocrats hop-hop-hopped to the polls like super-charged bunnies during the early voting period while the Republicans plodded along at a turtle\u2019s pace. Until Election Day. When all the votes were tallied up, a half-million more Republicans cast primary ballots than the Democrats did.\nSo if you hadn\u2019t voted early, vote Tuesday. It just might make a difference.\nBeto O'Rourke holds campaign event at Del Mar College\nU.S. Rep.

He\u2019s considered a moderate risk for violence towards an intimate partner.\nHe has a long history of belligerence and threatening behaviour. The new parole record notes that \u201cyou have continued to make threats towards those you feel have wronged you.\u201d It reveals that Ambrose made threats toward a lawyer who had worked for him. \u201cThe lawyer believed that you may be able to carry out such threats, so police and your [case management team] were both advised,\u201d the written record of the February 1 hearing states.\nAmbrose told the board that he wants to live on Vancouver Island, if he\u2019s released, but he provided no concrete release plan. He has no community support contacts in the area. Ever the pest, Ambrose warned the parole board that he intends to fight any decisions that keep him locked up and it\u2019s his intention to \u201cembarrass the Board and CSC\u201d and pursue court action. Ambrose hasn\u2019t been successful in the past. Last year, he was ordered to pay court costs to Corrections Canada after a failed court action.\nAmbrose was released from prison on day parole in 1999 but, after a fall that caused a brain injury, he assaulted an intimate partner and made threats towards others. Ambrose has sometimes claimed that he doesn\u2019t remember the 1974 murders that put him behind bars, because of his brain injury, although his latest claim that he didn\u2019t pull the trigger seems to suggest he remembers precisely what transpired 43 years ago. The only person who could corroborate Ambrose\u2019s claim about his lack of culpability is conveniently dead. James Hutchison, the mastermind of the 1974 kidnapping that led to the murders of O\u2019Leary and Bourgeois, died behind bars in 2011 at age 83.\nHutchison and Ambrose kidnapped the 14-year-old son of a wealthy Moncton restaurateur, Cy Stein, in December 1974. Stein paid a $15,000 ransom to the kidnappers, who returned the boy unharmed. O\u2019Leary and Bourgeois were part of the police dragnet hunting the kidnappers and had been assigned to check out a suspicious car when they disappeared.\nHutchison and Ambrose subdued the two police officers and took them to a wooded area about 25 kilometres outside Moncton, where they were shot in the head and buried in shallow graves. (Read a detailed account of the crime).\nDale Swansburg, a retired RCMP officer who caught the killers, told me in 2009 that the pair should have been hanged. Their sentences were commuted to life in prison after capital punishment was abolished in 1976.\n\u201cWhen they committed the crime, there was capital punishment,\u201d Swansburg said. \u201cIt should have been carried out.\u201d\n\u00bb Previous coverage of Ambrose and Hutchison and the 1974 murders\nThe written record of the February 1, 2017 parole hearing:\nTagged Const.

        "raw_content": "The Strength of Survivors\n\"We share our stories; we learn we are not alone in our fight.\" The words of Lance Armstrong enlarged and powerful in an examination room of the new LiveSTRONG Survivorship Center at the Dell Children's Medical Center in Austin.\nThe purpose of the Center is to help young cancer survivors during and after their treatment. Many will face tough physical and psychological issues related to their cancer and treatment long after it may have been cured. In a press conference on Wednesday, September 12, 2007 Armstrong said \"We expect people not only to survive, but to thrive.\"\nOne survivor in particular is giving back to make a difference in the organization and the Center. Eric Von Lehmden was treated for cancer at age 16 and again at 18. He now is a professional photographer shooting portraits, weddings and beautiful fine art photographs.\nWhile speaking at an American Cancer Society Parent Teaching Conference, Von Lehmden met with one of the doctors who had treated him years before. On learning he was a photographer, she thought he might be able to help provide some photos to decorate the new space they would be moving into. In January of this year, working closely with the Center, Von Lehmden volunteered his time and talent to create the striking photos that would decorate the office.\nCanvas Press worked with Von Lehmden to print the images on canvas gallery wraps. By creating a multitude of 8x10 and 11x14 gallery wraps, the images fit into the walls and style of the clinic seamlessly. The clean edge of the gallery wrap canvas allows for groupings of images together to make creative wall displays.\nThe Center's decor fits with the Lance Armstrong Foundation's black & yellow motif. The photographs are black & white portraits, with the bright yellow LiveSTRONG bracelets standing out in each. The kids (and some adults) in the pictures are the first group of patients to go through this unique clinic. One of only seven like it in the country, the Survivorship Center also has a resource center and research clinic. While the most recent photo shoot ended in August, this is an ongoing project. Von Lehmden expects to do at least two shoots annually of the new survivors coming from the clinic.\nVon Lehmden's purpose in getting involved with this project was to give back to the community that gave him so much as a teenager dealing with cancer. The kids can look forward to coming to the clinic and be proud of their picture on the wall. The images are there to encourage and inspire current patients and parents as well. \"They see these photos and it gives them strength and determination to be in one of those photos one day.\" Von Lehmden said.\nLIVESTRONG Survivorship Centers of Excellence\nInstead of buying a piece of equipment you don't know a lot about. Ask your local photo store if you can rent it for a weekend to see how you like it.",

        "raw_content": "Care2 Causes | This Polar Bear Starved to Death Because of Climate Change\nThis Polar Bear Starved to Death Because of Climate Change\nAll that remained of a 16-year-old polar bear found by scientists in northern Svalbard in Norway in July was \u201cskin and bone.\u201d The bear had starved to death because of climate change, says Dr. Ian Stirling of Polar Bears International. With the sea ice where the bears hunt for seals melting at a record-setting rate, the animals who are the iconic symbol of the Arctic are more and more not able to catch the main source of their diet.\nWhile it is not entirely possible to pinpoint one cause of the polar bear\u2019s death, Douglas Richardson, head of living collections at the Highland Wildlife Park, says that 16 is not \u201cparticularly old\u201d for a male polar bear in the wild; most typically live into their early 20s.\nScientists who examined the bear\u2019s body say that he was otherwise healthy. Some researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute had actually seen the bear in the southern part of Svalbard, an Arctic island archipelago, back in April, and noted that he appeared healthy. In previous years, the bear had been captured in the same place, suggesting that he was used to return there to hunt. But his severely emaciated body was found instead in northern Svalbard, 250 kilometers away. Scientists speculate that the bear may have walked two or three times that distance as it followed the fjords inland and headed north in its hunt for food.\nWarmer temperatures are certainly altering the bear\u2019s habitat and creating poor conditions for ice. As Prond Robertson of the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, points out, \u201cthe sea ice break up around Svalbard in 2013 was both fast and very early.\u201d\nNew NOAA Report Confirms Extremely Fast Rate of the Sea Ice Melting\nA new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) makes it all too clear how very fast the sea ice is melting due to climate change.\nA team of American and British scientists conducting annual tests found that, last year, greenhouse gas emissions reached record levels in the Arctic and Greenland while temperatures in the Arctic increased at about twice the rate as those at lower latitudes. As a result, by June of 2012, snow cover fell to its lowest levels since such records were kept.\nBy September of 2012, the sea ice cover had shrunk to the lowest levels since satellite records were recorded. The sea ice cover is now 18 percent lower than the previous low in 2007 and a shocking 54 percent lower than in 1980.\n\u201cRecord-breaking events\u201d including unusually warm temperatures are becoming the new normal, the NOAA report underscores. They are also occurring inland in the Arctic. On July 11, 2012, 97 percent of Greenland\u2019s ice sheet experienced surface melting. This past year, Alaska\u2019s permafrost temperatures and those in the Canadian Arctic were at record highs in 2012.\nThe polar bear\u2019s existence is closely tied to the sea ice. With the ice melting at such an accelerated rate, between one-third and a half of polar bears will perish in the next three generations in about 45 years, says the IUCN. The U.S. and Russian governments are even more pessimistic, saying that the losses of polar bears could be even higher \u2014 two-thirds could soon be gone \u2014 as the ice melts.\nOtherwise, Polar Bears are Almost \u201cIndestructible,\u201d But\u2026\nRichardson of Highland Wildlife Park emphasizes that the 16-year-old made found in Svalbard is not the only one suffering such a fate. Rather, he says that \u201cthere are an increasing number of bears in this condition: they are just not putting down enough fat to survive their summer fast.\u201d\n\u201cOnce polar bears reach adulthood they are normally nigh on indestructible, they are hard as nails,\u201d Richardson also comments. Sadly, and tragically, they have more than met their match in the face of greenhouse gas emissions and rising global temperatures that are causing the sea ice to melt, depriving the bears of food and the earth of a priceless species.\nAnastasia Z5 years ago\nThis is awful. And the most awful point is that authorities all over the world don't care a bit.\nRebecca G5 years ago\nOMG, when are we going to wake up and stop destroying this beautiful earth God gave us and all the wonderful animals, plants and yes, people on it. We are the most self centered, greedy species ever created and have done more damage I the last 50 years than in all the many, many years before. We do not own the planet, we are only renting it, and it is our responsibility to leave it better than we found it: we are failing miserably.\nBiby C5 years ago\nWe saw this a long time coming, didn't we?!\nDan Blossfeld5 years ago\nRuhee,\nAn exception was made to the international hunting ban for Inuits and others for sustenance hunting. I do no believe that yhd bears were ever on the endangered list, which is a testament to how well the ban has worked. Other species on the list have not fared HSS well as these bears, as there numbers have increased several fold.\nRuhee B5 years ago\nHow awful - polar bears need to go back on the endangered species list NOW. Cannot believe they are still being hunted and killed. Unfortunately I think climate change is here to stay and is only going to get worse. Humans will NEVER give up their cars and \"dirty fuels\" - as individuals (even ones who try and do the best they can) I think we are pretty powerless. Every day, I pray that the fossil fuels run out tomorrow ............... eventually they will but by then it will be too, too late for us, for the poor earth and for all her inhibitants.\nKelsey Horn5 years ago\nwe need to take action before its too late\nJennifer Frederick5 years ago\nIt is obvious Global Warming is here. No more naysaying or tests. Test upon test- climate change is here. We need to help the environment-not test it.\nWhat a shame, we won't happy until everything is gone.\nSadly, and tragically, the polar bears have more than met their match in the face of greenhouse gas emissions and rising global temperatures that are causing the sea ice to melt, depriving the bears of food and the earth of a priceless species.\nAbsolutely sickening. It's long past time we stop using dirty fossil fuels that are heating up our planet, causing climate change, and killing our Polar Bears.\nAngela Ray5 years ago\nI hope that wildlife specialists are in a position to do something even if it means providing a food source temporarily. They do this for the plains in North America. Why not the polar bear regions as well?",

        "raw_content": "Home >> About Castle >> History & Heritage\n\u00a9 Crown Copyright:\nRCAHMS. Licensor\nwww.rcahms.gov.uk\nThe history of Castle Precision starts with its founder Jack Tiefenbrun. He was born in Krakow, Poland, in 1921, moving to a farm outside Vienna, Austria, when he was 5. He left Europe before the outbreak of war and arrived in the UK in 1938, at the age of 17.\nJack completed a part time engineering qualification at college and had his first job in the textile industry maintaining large knitting looms and machinery. It was here that Jack developed his talent for machine tool design. At age 30 Jack started his own company. Castle was established in 1951 as the Textile Engineering Company and serviced a diverse range of customers; the main one being the Singer Sewing Machine Company based in Glasgow on the River Clyde.\nTop Row Left To Right: Matt Tennant, Pat Morgan, John Carroll, Brian Collins, Unknown Scrimgeour, Joe Turnbull, Harry Young, Charlie Devennie, John Morgan.\nBottom Row Left To Right: Harbans Singh, Mr J Y Tiefenbrun, Henry Flood, Mohammed Zahoor.\nMany of the completed parts in the early days would be loaded into Jack\u2019s bike basket and delivered by hand to the customer.\nAt the time Singer employed 10,000 people and was one of many significant Clydeside industries that supported a wealth of engineering shops across Glasgow.\nTextile Engineering Co. provided jigs, tools, fixtures and press tools. Early growth saw diversification from dependence on textile machinery to more general subcontract engineering, as well as tool making and special purpose machinery.\nIn 1954 Jack Tiefenbrun took on the company\u2019s first apprentice, John Carroll. This was to set a precedent and an ongoing commitment to training within Castle Precision.\nIn these early days, a lack of resources was counterbalanced with ingenuity, forming the basis of very high skill levels within the company.\nAfter its first year, Textile Engineering moved from Kidston Street to a snooker hall in the Gorbals down Old Rutherglen Road. For the first few years they even kept some of the snooker tables.\nThe Textile Engineering Co. Machinery Manufacturers.\nBy the 1960s the company had increased its main customer base, moving into different sectors, but still providing the same tool making service, with the addition of special purpose machinery and prototypes.\nIn 1963 the company moved location to new purpose built premises in Castlemilk and started trading nder the name Castle Precision Engineering (Glasgow)Ltd.\nDespite the absence of CNC, the components were of a very accurate nature and resulted in Castle buying some of the most accurate machinery available during that period; including the Swiss built, SIP jig grinding and jig boring machines. The jig borer cost over \u00a3100,000; a vast sum of money at the time.\nApart from Singer, Castle had around 300 customers. In 1964 the company broke the \u00a31m turnover barrier and at the tool-making peak of the \u201860s, the company employed 30 people.\nThere were hundreds of engineering shops around Glasgow and good tradesman would often move from one to the other in search of top rate. Castle was a hard place to work, but it was also the best payer with the best work.\nIn 1968 the first toolroom extension was built to house new lathe and heavy milling machines. It later took other machines, but was often an eclectic mix.\nThe original toolroom was 9000 sq ft. In these days toolmakers were the best of the best; skilled in turning, milling, grinding and jig boring. These highly respected men often wore a shirt and tie under their overalls. Right to left: Willie Whitehouse and George Barclay.\nA bandaging machine designed by Mr Jack, it brought together the various constituents of the bandage, sealed it within the packaging and parted it off.\nLeft to right: John Cameron, Mr Jack and Edgar Clumpus assessing a finished special purpose machine tool designed for a customer.\nThe Ford Zodiac MkIII above was Mr Jack\u2019s car. At the time, the only car on the street.\nThere are many theories behind the why\u2019s of white coats in a factory. One theory is that Mr Jack considered Castle to be specialists, the best in the field and the white lab coats reflected this.\nTriggered by the arrival of the first CNC machinery, the main customer base grew and for the first time moved into aerospace and production work. Power presses and press tools also became a significant part of business during this period.\nIn 1970, Castle did its very first job for Rolls-Royce; the early days were predominantly jig and fixture work, but the company also produced prototypes, such as the blades for the RB211 engine.\nThe company was a very early adopter of new technology, with some of the first NC and CNC machines in the UK. In 1971, Castle took delivery of the first NC Mazak Yamazaki pegboard lathe and would have also had the first CNC Mori-Seiki in the UK had it not already been bought off the stand at an exhibition.\nDuring this period Castle bought the rights from King Aircraft to manufacture aircraft filler cap assemblies.\nIn 1973 Linn Hi-Fi was founded as an offshoot of Castle. Utilising the skills on the shopfloor, Castle produced the first Linn turntables. The company ground the drive belts, produced the patented bearings, stamped and pressed top plates and completed final assembly of the first LP12.\nThe iconic and world renowned Linn LP-12 (Long Player 12 Inch) featured a number of patented innovations designed and manufactured by company founder Jack Tiefenbrun.\nAn overview of some of the smaller ore intricate parts machined and pressed by Castle in the 1970s.\nCastle draftsman designed the press tool dies, manufactured the dies and pressed the components. The dies were extremely intricate and complex; all drawn and calculated longhand.\nAt this time several different companies owned or occupied the various Drakemire Drive buildings including Castle, Bata Shoes, Linn Hi-Fi, House of Lawrie Bagpipes and Parazone Chemicals.\nThe company fully embraced CNC and with the arrival of larger equipment started moving into heavy industry and oil work. The electronics industry also came to the fore, with much of the tool making origins of the company being replaced by production work.\nIn 1980, the 241 extension was built adding 9000 sq ft to the factory. The section was built to house the two Herbert Devlieg\u2019s and Kearns Richards 125 boring machines. The Kearns had one of the largest capacities of any machine in Castle\u2019s history with a 2m table capable of taking 6 tonnes. An incredibly versatile machine\nwith interchangeable heads, it was\noften used for specials and one offs.\nThe section also housed a row\nof Matchmaker and Bridgeport\nThese machines were\nalways busy making small components such as the cash gate machines for Honeywell and lids for Marconi which made up the early cylindrical phones used by the army. This was the training ground for our early CNC setters. Programming of these machines was done longhand using trigonometry to work out the toolpaths and often 10 to 1 drawings of pockets and cutters to determine code. The code was then hand written and punched out to produce the CNC tape. Even to this day we sometimes refer to the CNC code as the tape.\nIn 1986 the company\u2019s founder, Jack Tiefenbrun passed away. A born engineer and a gentleman in every sense, he was fondly known and will be remembered as Mr Jack.\nIn 1986 Leah Tiefenbrun took over Castle with much of the day to day running of the company being left to Edgar Clumpas and Alex Skinner. It would not be until 1993 that the next generation would pick up the reins.\nIn 1983 Castle became one of the first engineering companies in Scotland to be awarded BS5750, later ISO 9002. The company was always an early adopter of new higher standards and still is to this day.\nThrough the 1980s, Castle subcontracted for industry leading companies including: IBM, Compaq, Caterpillar and Kamatsu as well as being involved in major projects like Haysham & Torness nuclear power stations.\nThe 1990s marked an era where the electronic and oil sectors made up a significant portion of Castle\u2019s turnover.\nDuring this period, Castle also started work for Wyman Gordon, machining shafts and discs to the pre sonic stage. These parts would be finished by the customer and in later years by Castle itself. This was Castle\u2019s introduction into mainstream machining of exotic alloys for the aerospace industry.\nIn 1993 Marcus Tiefenbrun was appointed as the managing director of Castle. At the time Castle was a very technically strong, traditional west of Scotland engineering company, but without clear leadership to drive the company forward. Marcus focused on removing\nthe non-performing assets, and spent a large proportion of his first two years training and modernising the culture.\nThe company was also in need of an IT system. Having investigated the market extensively, the new managing director came to the conclusion that there was nothing worthwhile out there and that Castle would build its own.\nSerious work on the system started in 1999. The general consensus was that it couldn\u2019t be done. Within ten years Castle had one of the foremost production control IT systems in the world.\nWilliam Greenwood training a young apprentice Ross Cornet. Castle has had apprentices since 1954 becoming an officially recognised and approved EMTA training centre in 1997.\nCastle has a long history of working on defence programmes with the MOD & Marconi. Over the years Castle has been involved in Radar Systems, Artillery Systems, Laser Defence and Targeting Systems, Torpedo\u2019s and Missile Programmes.\nAn excerpt from Castle\u2019s 1990s brochure featuring Castle\u2019s Aerospace and Automotive solutions. Aerospace production had arrived but during this period the Oil and Automotive industries accounted for a largest proportion of Castle\u2019s turnover.\nAn iconic image of a Rolls-Royce Tay Aero Engine fan disk. This was the first fan disk manufactured by Castle representing a major leap in the Aerospace sector for the Company. The Tay family was used a number of airliners and large business jets.\nThe early 2000s marked a continued consolidation, more strategic and demanding customers and a dominance in production and aerospace. The consolidation focused on the most demanding sectors and customers, in alignment with the company\u2019s mission at the time.\nAt the turn of the millennium the company employed 91 people, turned over \u00a34.4m and occupied 40,000 sq ft. By the end of the decade, the company had increased its turnover by over 300% to \u00a314.4m, employing 150 people and occupying almost 90,000 sq ft.\nThe company\u2019s growth was driven by an ambitious investment and sector strategy. During the 2001 recession,\nCastle invested \u00a32m in plant and machinery in preparation for the upturn, whilst also beginning its pursuit of the Aerospace Quality Standard AS9100, which it received in 2006. The new standard set the future of the company and moved Castle heavily into the aerospace sector. By 2009 Castle was more than 70% aerospace.\nDuring this period the company made a complete move from 2D model CAD/CAM to full 3D modelling and simulation. The move was shortly followed by complete verification simulation, allowing the engineers to simulate highly complex processes in a virtual environment for the first time.\nAn early image of Castle\u2019s first 211 facility opened in 2001. The image above shows this new machining centre shop taking delivery of the company\u2019s new flagship machine, the Mori-Seiki SH-8000.\nFormer Engineering Works Manager (left) Alex Skinner photographed alongside Head of Engineering Development Alan Perry. Alex joined Castle in 1968 from King Aircraft as a young draftsman. He would later become one of the most influential figures in the company\u2019s history, and one of the finest manufacturing engineers in the country, serving 41 years in the company. Alex retired April 2009.\nManaging Director Marcus Tiefenbrun set the strategic direction and vision for Castle, a unique and outspoken leader, arcus Tiefenbrun would later be nominated and shortlisted for Entrepreneur of The Year at the annual Scottish Business Awards.\nQuality Engineer Robert Thompson photographed operating a CMM.\nCastle taking delivery of one of several Mori-Seiki SL-603 CNC lathes, image taken 2005. By the mid 2000s the Company had one of the largest independent machining facilities in the UK.\nTowards the end of the decade Castle became greatly involved in industry wide improvement programmes, the pursuit of further accreditations and major industry awards. The pace of development throughout this period was arguably the fastest in the company\u2019s history and helped progress Castle towards a more rounded complete package, more in line with a medium sized enterprise rather than an SME.\nIn 2007 Castle joined the Society of British Aerospace Companies SBAC (now ADS) and joined the SC21 initiative. Later, in 2010, Castle would become the first company based in Scotland to receive an SC21 award.\nIn 2008 Castle began construction on its newest facility; the extension to the 211 building, adding 12000 sq ft to house the latest in mill-turn and grinding technology. It was during this period that Castle took its first steps into five axis machining.\nDuring the 2009 recession the company invested more than \u00a36m in plant and machinery. Castle began a complete refurbishment programme of the company\u2019s facilities, refitting the 20,000 sq ft Linn 257 unit and relocating the toolroom facility, allowing for the refurbishment of the original 9000 sq ft 241 building as a five axis centre.\nOn Tuesday 8th of September 2009, Castle held an official opening for the new 211 and 257 facilities. With key business partners and members of government in attendance, Dr Masahiko Mori, President of Mori Seiki machine tool company, conducted the ceremonial opening.\nIn 2010, Castle was recognised across industry for its achievements: winning Scottish Engineering\u2019s Presidents Award for Achievement, The Manufacturers SME of Year and overall Manufacturer of the Year Awards.\nCastle\u2019s entire toolroom relocated and refurbished in 2009. The facility was previously owned by sister company Linn Hi-Fi to house the paint plant and fabrication equipment.\nTiefenbrun family receiving the Manufacturer of the Year Award at the annual ceremony in 2010.

        "raw_content": "Impact Of Design Requirements On Generators At Nuclear Plants\nIMPACT OF 60- TO 80-YEAR DESIGN LIFE REQUIREMENTS ON EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATORS AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS\nDavid B. Hedrick\nCaterpillar, Inc. Electric Power\nNuclear Emergency Diesel Generators\nThis paper will take a closer look at how the evolution of longer-life nuclear power plants (NPPs) impact emergency diesel generators (EDGs) used for station blackout (SBO) support. Extending the life of EDGs from an initial 40-year design life basis to the current reactor design life basis of up to 80 years will present challenges to the owner. We examine the concerns involved with keeping existing EDGs ready to run. There are many lessons to be learned from current regulatory trends and new post-Fukushima seismic and flooding requirements, as well as unique factors an owner should proactively address. This paper will examine potential solutions to address specific current and future challenges in the following sections:\nBackground on life extension of nuclear power plants\nResulting challenges for emergency power generator installations\nThree ways to meet these challenges\nConsiderations, advantages and disadvantages of these philosophies\nConclusions / recommendations\nExisting nuclear power plants (NPPs) were built with original requirements for 30- to 40-years of design life. These existing NPPs either already have or are now looking at design life extensions of up to 20- to 30-years.\nOperators building new NPPs are demanding 60- to 80-years of design life with an expected extension. If you consider that the EDGs/SBOs could have been built several years prior to the NPP coming on line, as well as the need to be ready to run during the decommissioning phase, NPPs could be looking at a range of 70- to 90-years of design life for EDGs/SBOs. Is this obtainable? Is this practical? Can you maintain the reliability for this duration? This lengthy period of time is presenting challenges to existing owners/operators of EDGs/SBOs and posing future challenges to us all. Let\u2019s examine the situation a little closer.\nFirst, let\u2019s take a look at the so-called bathtub curve, which illustrates the increase or decrease in reliability of a product over time. The first part, shown in blue in Figure 1 (on next page), is the decreasing early hour or infant mortality failures. The second part, in orange, represents the constant failure rate or random failures over time. The third part, in green, shows age-related or wearingout failures. When you combine these three types of failures you get an observed failure rate, in purple, which resembles a cross section of a bathtub shape, and hence the name of this type of chart. Nuclear applications generate a probabilistic failure model to determine an estimated and an acceptable or allowable rate of failure, illustrated in red.\nFigure 1: Bathtub curve of product reliability\nMuch time and effort is spent in new nuclear projects to address and reduce early-hour failures. Multiple quality checks, numerous verifications and extensive testing are examples of efforts for reducing the likelihood of these types of early-hour failures.\nHowever, the focus of this paper is the end part of the curve, where the observed rate approaches the acceptable level of failure. NPP operators\u2019 plans or long-term asset management programs for handling increasing unreliability and the end of life concerns of an EDG system will be discussed later in this paper. At some point in the future, the perceived reliability will cross over the deemed acceptable limit. Until then, what will operators do? Let\u2019s take a look at the options that an operator could consider.\nFor an EDG/SBO to live for 70 to 90 years and still remain in an acceptable reliability range, there are three options that quickly come to mind that can be planned and followed. The first choice is for the operator and generator set manufacturer to try to keep the units in operation for the entire duration of the design life. The second option is to replace the units at some point, perhaps mid-life, with newer units. The third option is adding a completely new diesel engine-driven system to the existing infrastructure to supplement the original units. Let\u2019s take a closer look at the pros and cons of each of these three options.\nKEEPING EXISTING UNITS OPERATIONAL\nAging is inevitable, and the task of keeping a generator set in peak operational condition can be daunting. This approach consists of proactively performing normal and predictive maintenance at specific intervals in an attempt to keep the actual reliability in an acceptable range. This can be done by renewing, replacing, upgrading and improving specific piece parts in the generator set systems. As an example, we can look at the Prairie Island NPP, where Caterpillar is supplying piece parts for a Cat\u00ae D399 engine built in the 1970s. From time to time, there may also be an opportunity to upgrade parts that have been redesigned.\nOne advantage to this approach is the initial investment is still in a ready-to-run state. Improvements in piece parts can be validated and incorporated into the existing sets. Operators are able to follow well-established, existing processes and procedures.\nHowever, there are some challenges to this approach that can be confirmed by the operators of older NPPs, including obsolescence, supply issues and maintaining an acceptable level of reliability in the entire system.\nOver time, many companies and suppliers have changed, with some suppliers or sub-suppliers having gone out of business. This certainly has and will continue to complicate the issue of getting validated piece parts. However, some NPP operators and third-party dedicators have become creative in reverse engineering designs and finding new suppliers. Even so, the situation will not get better over time. It will only get worse and continue to be a costly approach.\nAnother issue with keeping existing EDGs/SBOs operational is that some countries have a time limit for getting the actual work done before a rule-initiated reactor shutdown is required. As the unit ages, there is usually more work to perform, and in some cases there is not enough time to perform the actual work without getting a special permit or shutting down the reactor.\nSome NPP operators have to consider the addition of new swing diesels in order to have enough time to perform the required maintenance work for the existing and aging EDGs/SBOs. This solution can address the time issue, but the costs for this solution are not insignificant, and operators still have to address the existing issues in keeping the generator sets running.\nAnother point to consider is the cumulative cost of keeping the units running. While no single parts order will be that significant, the cumulative cost to continue moving forward with this solution up until the decommissioning of the NPP may approach or exceed other options.\nREPLACE EQUIPMENT IN SITU\nThe next concept we will review is completely removing the major equipment and replacing it with new EDGs/SBOs. Newer equipment can relieve the operator of obsolescence or supplier issues. New equipment meets new or updated regulations or new plant requirements, such as having more power available for emergency loads. There could be an issue if the new power requirement is such that the equipment cannot fit into the available space in the existing powerhouse, but this is not usually the case since the power density, or kilowatts per square meter, of most modern EDGs/SBOs has increased substantially in recent years.\nMost of the cons to this choice center on the time it takes to execute this option. Does the replacement have to occur when the NPP is down? Most refueling opportunities are accomplished in just a few weeks\u2019 time. This really is not a sufficient amount of time to perform the removal and replacement of equipment.\nReplacement could be scheduled during an extended outage, such as the mid-life plant refurbishment projects at CANDU-designed reactors, where multiple projects are pursued to extend the life of the power plant.\nAn example of this approach can be seen at the Embalse Power Plant in Argentina, where the operator will remove the existing equipment and replace it with upgraded systems.\nNow let\u2019s explore some additional options dependant on the specific nuclear power plant. It is great if there is sufficient redundancy to replace the generators while the NPP is operational, but if not, an operator can look to use portable backup generators during the removal, installation, commissioning and hand over of the new equipment.\nThis situation is reflected in a Caterpillar project performed at an NPP in the United Kingdom. One of two battery-charging diesel generator sets experienced a catastrophic failure. Emergency mobile equipment was placed on-site to provide the backup power. The operator took the opportunity to increase the technical requirements \u2013 specifically flooding and seismic standards in the wake of Fukushima \u2013 went to tender, and selected a Caterpillar-based solution to replace the existing EDGs in situ.\nADD TO EXISTING NPP BY BUILDING NEW EDG/SBO STATION\nThe final option is adding a completely new building for upgraded EDGs/SBOs. One example is the emergency power system (EPS) updated at a CANDU reactor.\nThe CANDU EPS system is designed to provide the CANDU reactor unit with the required electrical power needed to perform all safety functions under both operating and accident conditions. It contains two seismically qualified, redundant standby generators, batteries and distribution gear in a reinforced building.\nAnother example is a more modular approach used at two NPPs operating in the Czech Republic. Here, the modular approach resulted in a quicker delivery and lower cost compared to a more traditional permanent brick-and-mortar civil structure.\nThere are several pros and cons as we look at this option. New equipment can alleviate any obsolescence or supplier issues, while simultaneously increasing reliability. With a blank sheet, NPPs can begin with a design that can include the latest EDG/SBO strategies. It can incorporate lessons learned, new regulations and new requirements \u2013 in the selection of the equipment as well as the building design. This can include new seismic and flooding requirements.\nAlso, the construction can occur as the nuclear plant continues operations. The only time the plant would need to shut down is for the final ties into the existing system, which can usually be done during a scheduled refueling period. Utilizing the modular approach can result in an even shorter time from concept to installation and final handover.\nOne issue with this approach is space. Some NPPs do not have enough ideal space around the reactor to install a new system and building. New procedures and processes must be created in the design modification package. Also, as with any new system or design, training has to be considered. While cost is certainly an issue for all options, this option can entail the largest one-time cost. However, this one-time cost can be rationalized by taking a longer-term view on costs and reliability.\nCOMPARISON OF THE THREE OPTIONS\nFrom the perspective of current operating NPPs, all options have their pluses and minuses. One might gravitate toward keeping existing EDGs/SBOs running, as this would appear to be the lowest cost option. NPPs can choose the status quo and replace old parts with new parts to keep things moving along. However, internal and external forces may require the owner to take a closer look at the other two options, as the balance between costs and reliability can change over the course of time. Let\u2019s look at the individual costs for each option.\nEstimating the individual costs for the various options in any given year may make some options cost-prohibitive. It is assumed that the costs to maintain existing generator sets will grow over time.\nFrom the highest single-year cost to the lowest single-year cost, the options rank as follows:\nNew build \u2013 traditional\nReplacement in situ\nNew build \u2013 modular replacement\nSwing diesel\nHowever, if you look at the cumulative cost, the story looks a bit different. At some point in time, the cumulative cost to maintain existing units rises above the cumulative cost to replace. Of the various options, the swing diesel is actually the most costly over the long term. This is no surprise, as it really only addresses a time issue, and this comes at a cost. The modular approach has a low cumulative cost, and it has a shorter time period for crossing over the keep running line as shown in the next graph.\nLet\u2019s review the bathtub curve for reliability. Again, for illustrative purposes the bathtub curve has an initial decreasing slope, remains fairly flat through the mature part of life, and then increases through the end of life.\nIn a situation where the NPP elects to replace the generator sets, the bathtub curves for reliability would be stacked side-by-side.\nAs you can see, it makes the most sense to replace the existing unit with a new unit and maintain reliability under the acceptable failure rate for a long time.\nHow hard is it to get parts? What is the reliability of current EDGs/SBOs and what is it predicted to be moving forward? What is the health of your supplier base? Have new regulations forced new requirements? How long does the plant intend to continue operations? These are just some of the many factors that guide NPP operators to take a closer look at maintaining existing units, replacing in situ, constructing a new building or adopting a modular approach.\nAn ongoing analysis of the costs to maintain, the impact on reliability, the health of suppliers and the effects of replacement is needed at every operating nuclear power plant. There will be a tipping point when replacement makes sense in terms of cost, reliability or both. The key for an operator is to determine if this tipping point will occur within the lifetime of the NPP.\nCurrent design expectations for operating diesel generator sets for at least 60 to 80 years will only increase the chances of that tipping point occurring during this operating window. Decreasing reliability coupled with the increasing cost to keep running will drive operators to explore various options to address these two issues.\nProactive planning is the key for keeping ahead of the curve, not only for existing nuclear power plants, but also as a design input for future nuclear power plants. Designing buildings for the easy replacement of equipment or purposely leaving space for future construction that includes places to tie into existing systems can alleviate some of the costs down the road.",

Photo courtesy of the Becket Fund.\nWashington D.C., Dec 20, 2012 / 05:53 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Arts and crafts giant Hobby Lobby will appeal to the nation\u2019s highest court after an appeals court ruled the federal contraception mandate does not impose a \u201csubstantial burden\u201d on the owners\u2019 religious freedom.\n\u201cThe Green family is disappointed with this ruling,\u201d said Kyle Duncan, general counsel for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which is handling the case.\nHe explained that the Christian family that owns and operates Hobby Lobby must now \u201cseek relief from the United States Supreme Court.\u201d\n\u201cThe Greens will continue to make their case on appeal that this unconstitutional mandate infringes their right to earn a living while remaining true to their faith,\u201d Duncan said.\nOn Dec. 20, an appeals court denied the plaintiffs\u2019 request for a temporary injunction to block the federal contraception mandate from being enforced against them while their case moves forward in the court.\nThe mandate requires employers to offer health insurance covering sterilization and contraception, including drugs that may cause early abortions. As Christians, the Greens are morally opposed to funding any type of abortion, including those caused by \u201cmorning after\u201d and \u201cweek after\u201d pills.\nIn its decision, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that the mandate did not impose a \u201csubstantial burden\u201d on the Greens\u2019 religious freedom because it only forces them to fund \u201csomeone else\u2019s participation\u201d in an activity that their religion condemns.\nStarted in a garage in Oklahoma City in 1972, Hobby Lobby now has more than 500 stores in 41 states. Its owners, the Greens, have said that they seek to serve God through all of their endeavors, including their business decisions.\nThe company donates considerable amounts to charity, maintains a minimum wage that is much higher than the federal requirement and closes all of its stores on Sundays, sacrificing profit to allow its employees to rest and worship with their families.\nA lower court ruled last month that as a \u201csecular, for-profit\u201d corporation, Hobby Lobby does not have a constitutional right to freedom of religion, even if its owners see its management as part of their call to Christian stewardship.\nForty-two separate lawsuits challenging the mandate have been filed on behalf of religious schools, hospitals and charities, for-profit businesses and individual states. Rulings in the cases have been split. Among for-profit businesses, four have been granted preliminary injunctions and two have been denied them.\nHobby Lobby is the largest business to file a lawsuit challenging the mandate. If it is not granted relief from the regulation, it will be forced to pay $1.3 million per day in fines for refusing to comply with the objectionable provision.\nThe company will now turn to the Supreme Court to ask for an injunction protecting its right to religious freedom.\n\u201cIt is by God\u2019s grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured,\u201d said David Green, founder and CEO of the company. \u201cTherefore we seek to honor God by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles.\u201d\nTags: Contraception mandate, Religious freedom, Obama Administration\nHobby Lobby granted full court hearing for mandate case\nChristian-owned craft giant Hobby Lobby will be able to make its appeal against the federal...\nContraception mandate case argued at US Supreme Court\nThe Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a challenge to the Affordable Care Act...",

        "raw_content": "No question, much of what is seen on episodes of HGTV\u2019s House Hunters and House Hunters International is staged\u2014fake-ish, a set-up. And honestly, I don\u2019t care. The charming couple, or rambunctious family, or adventurous singleton, may have already selected their new address before ever contracting to be on the show and may be \u201cre-staging\u201d their search. Again, I don\u2019t care. What I look forward to with every episode is a glimpse inside three residences from which the subject hunters ostensibly select the one that, like in the tale of Goldie Locks and her three bears, is \u201cjust right.\u201d There\u2019s something thrilling and highly entertaining about analyzing their choices and voyeuristically picturing myself in each of the properties; answering the same questions presented on the show; size, location, features, amenities, price. And finally, can I truly see myself living here? So far, I am fulling committed to moving to Sydney, Auckland, London, Paris (naturally), Salzburg, Raleigh, Washington DC, Denver, Palm Springs, and Key West.\nThe successful formula HGTV has found with their House Hunters franchises boils down to the same pivotal question every property seeker must ultimately ask themselves; do I see myself living here? What it takes to answer that question are a multitude of features, amenities, and feelings to be evaluated throughout the process.\nIf you have ever listened to a discussion about the location of a piece of real estate that is being considered for purchase, rent, or sale, how the property is described in terms of how far it is from something, or how close it is to something, will say a lot about its viability. \u201cThe house on Elm Street is 30 minutes from my job, but five minutes to the Piggly Wiggly.\u201d \u201cThe walk to school is only two blocks, but we would be 15 miles from my parents.\u201d These insights reveal a great deal about what\u2019s important, and listening carefully helps determine if the location box may be ticked. Being able to string together a list of places and people the property is close to will likely indicate a good candidate. An equally long list of how far from specific places and people the real estate is may mean you will want to keep looking.\nFeatures vs. amenities\nThe features of a home, whether an efficiency condominium or a multiple-acre estate, identify the practical aspects of a property, such as its location, the number of rooms and their uses, the square footage, or the amount of land included. Amenities, on the other hand, are also features of a property. However, they are considered less necessary to the function of the dwelling, and are inclined to provide comfort, convenience, or pleasure to the property owner or renter. A refrigerator may be a feature. That refrigerator may have amenities, such as French doors, an ice maker, Wi-Fi compatible video content monitoring, or accessible compartments for kid-friendly snacks. A home office may be simply an extra room or loft space. However, an office with built-in bookcases and high-tech wiring is amenity-rich. Features of the property are items expected to be included in the sale or rental. Amenities are the luxuries that create fluctuations in pricing. Awareness of the differences between features and amenities will assist in determining if the asking price is fair.\nChecking out the kitchen is usually the first stop for homebuyers, with bathrooms coming in a close second. These are the rooms that tend to have the most bells and whistles in a home, sporting the most fun features and amenities. How you see yourself using these spaces is the key to finding something that is \u201cjust right.\u201d In the kitchen, gourmet cooks will have different requirements than microwave maestros. In the bathroom, are long, bubbly baths a requirement, or will any shower do? Being completely honest about what you need in these rooms will pay off, because renovations down the road are commonly costlier in kitchens and baths than anywhere else on the property.\nThe face that any property presents to the world is made up of architecture: building architecture and landscape architecture. It may include amenities like manicured gardens and water and fire features, pools and spas, outdoor living areas, and cooking and play spaces. Most people know at first glance if the actual architecture of a home or building is to their liking, giving them the opportunity to offer a subjective yea or nay. Water features such as pools, fountains, and spas require care and attention. Plantings and lawns also require regular maintenance. Property hunters should take time to evaluate their level of commitment to the necessary exterior care, or consult with maintenance professionals to see just what they are getting themselves into. That being said, the exterior amenities of a property can be tons of fun. Swimming, barbecues, star-gazing, growing vegetables, cutting flowers, relaxing on a screened porch all are worthy of careful consideration.\nNumber of bedrooms and baths are part of the floorplan of a property, along with the living spaces, kitchen and dining areas, work space, storage, which all create the home\u2019s flow. Prospective buyers or renters should consider with care how the people in their household use their home. Is an open floorplan ideal, or do more cozy, secluded rooms make more sense? Where will the children drop their backpacks and jackets at the end of the school day? How much work and recreation gear does the family have\u2014golf equipment to computers, surfboards to soccer balls, food processors to French presses? Lives will be lived here. Take the time to see how that feels before signing any contracts or making any offers.\nEncouraged by those HGTV house hunters who begin their searches with lists of wishes and needs, like Goldie Locks who found just the right bowl of porridge, just the right chair, and just the right snuggly bed, finding just the right home is absolutely worth the search.

        "title": "Hilton Head Magazines: CH2/CB2: Facing up to Tay-Sachs: Twins with rare disease raise awareness, funds for cure",
        "raw_content": "Living with an undiagnosed medical condition is like being stuck behind a line cars on the freeway with no open lane or alternative route\u2026and no end in sight. For 28-year-old fraternal twins Katie and Allie Buryk, 2006 graduates of Hilton Head Preparatory School, the medical traffic jam lasted eight years, as they searched for a diagnosis and hoped for a treatment to combat their unusual symptoms, all while pursuing college degrees and their respective careers. After many tests and trips to the most renowned medical authorities, it was through genome sequencing that life\u2019s pathway finally cleared\u2014yet the road ahead remains uncertain.\nOn a cold November day in 2014, Katie got the call from her doctor\u2019s office, asking her to come in and suggesting she bring someone with her. \u201cI knew the news wasn\u2019t good,\u201d she said. Genetic testing revealed that both Katie and Allie have late-onset Tay-Sachs, a rare inherited neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.\nTo put rare into context, each year, about 16 cases of Tay-Sachs are diagnosed in the United States. According to the National Tay-Sachs & Allied Diseases Association (NTSAD), the Buryk twins are among fewer than 100 cases reported annually, worldwide.\nChildren with Tay-Sachs disease lack a vital enzyme, hexosaminidase A (Hex-A), which is needed for the body to break down a fatty waste substance found in brain cells. Without Hex-A, this substance accumulates abnormally and causes progressive damage. In infants, it is always fatal\u2014usually between ages two and five. People with the juvenile form of Tay-Sachs typically display symptoms between the ages of two and 10 and usually pass away in their teens. Tay-Sachs that manifests in teens and adults occurs more rarely and causes less severe symptoms. Nevertheless, the disease is progressive and there is currently no known treatment or cure.\nPeople of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage (of central and eastern European descent) are at the highest risk, and a child who inherits the gene from both parents develops Tay-Sachs disease. The Buryks had no Jewish heritage that they knew of, yet both parents unknowingly carried the gene. (Alexis has since learned through DNA testing that she has 5 percent Jewish in her heritage.) Their older daughter, Liz, does not have the disease, but she is a carrier.\nLate-onset symptoms typically appear during adolescence or adulthood, which was the case for the Buryk twins. Katie said she always just thought she was a bit clumsy\u2014not the athletic type. \u201cShe had tremors that caused her to spill things,\u201d her mother, Alexis Buryk relayed, \u201cand the family joke was that she could never be a waitress.\u201d But during a college visit home, both Katie and Allie noticed that they had to use their hands to get up from a chair because of weak leg muscles\u2014a puzzling realization that led to more heightened efforts to find out what was wrong, Alexis said.\nAs the disease has progressed, Katie describes the symptoms and daily challenges: \u201cI feel like I\u2019m carrying dead weight. My legs don\u2019t work like they\u2019re supposed to.\u201d (She cannot cross her leg without lifting it with her arms.) \u201cStanding up is one of the biggest challenges. To get changed, to put on leggings or pants, I have to lift my leg up. Steps are very challenging. I can do them still, but because I fall at random, I avoid them. Every day is challenging\u2014little things that you would never think of. If someone asks me to go have a drink, I have to think, \u2018Are there stairs? Is there a railing? Am I going to fall? Who\u2019s going to see me?\u2019 There are so many questions I have to ask rather than just enjoying myself.\u201d\nWhat people don\u2019t see is also challenging. \u201cI look fine, but I\u2019m not okay,\u201d Katie said, describing her frustration when she could not board a plane because it required climbing stairs. \u201cI\u2019m not being lazy, I just can\u2019t physically do it.\u201d\nCoping for Katie is a matter of reminding herself that there are worse diseases, and appreciating the life she has. At the same time, she has a new awareness: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who you are or how much money you have. I have a great life and a great family. I\u2019ve had everything in the world I needed and everything I want, but they can\u2019t fix me,\u201d she said, through tears. \u201cI\u2019ve stopped getting upset over the petty little things in life, but it\u2019s always on my mind, from the second I wake up until I go to sleep.\u201d\nAllie, whose symptoms are less severe, says she does not think about her condition except when it limits her, e.g. walking to her car after a long day at work. \u201cBecause I haven\u2019t progressed as rapidly, I hope I can maintain. I try not to think about it or worry about it, and it doesn\u2019t control my life,\u201d she said. \u201cI do have the leg weakness. Back in college, I would go out dancing and just randomly fall down. I was determined not to let it stop me from dancing. I can almost sense when it\u2019s going to happen now.\u201d Allie is also aware of changes in her speech\u2014speaking rapidly and sometime stuttering. \u201cPeople can\u2019t always understand what I\u2019m saying,\u201d she said.\nPatients with chronic conditions often must adjust their aspirations, lifestyle, and employment. For Katie, that meant leaving behind the excitement and energy of New York City\u2014along with the transportation challenges and her daily commute. Fortunately, she was able to keep her job as assistant planner for contemporary sportswear at Lord & Taylor and now works remotely from her home on Hilton Head Island, visiting the city as needed.\nShe also must accept that she cannot grow her career in the way she had hoped. \u201cI don\u2019t want people to think I\u2019m that girl who doesn\u2019t want to go to work. I would love to be out there making the commute, seeing people every day, and doing all those crazy things. But I can\u2019t. I loved New York; it\u2019s just not for me anymore.\u201d\nShe does have friends, and with some extra planning, is able to go places and enjoy activities like shopping, movies, and dinners out. \u201cEveryone has been very supportive. You still get me\u2014just me with Tay-Sachs. It doesn\u2019t define me. It\u2019s just part of who I am,\u201d she said.\nRecognizing that her symptoms may worsen, Allie, who is a registered nurse, specializing in neurology and currently working fulltime on the stroke floor at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, is in grad school, pursuing a master\u2019s degree with a goal of becoming a nurse practitioner, which will potentially be less physically demanding than her current job.\n\u201cThe way I see it, my deficits are not very severe. What I see at the hospital is severe. I can relate to it on a small level. It lets me know that you can\u2019t take anything for granted,\u201d she said. By example, she cited stroke patients who are paralyzed. \u201cYou can see their arm, but you can\u2019t see why they can\u2019t move it. Just like if my legs are tired and I fall, I can\u2019t control that. It helps me understand a little bit of their frustration and what they\u2019re going through. Everyone is going through something that you might not be able to see.\u201d\nTurning fear into action\nThe Buryk girls have the potential to live a normal lifespan, but not without many trials along the way. Katie says her biggest fear is what\u2019s to come, which will likely include wheelchairs, difficulty swallowing, cognitive decline and perhaps mental illness. \u201cI\u2019m not giving up. I\u2019m fighting every day, but it\u2019s just accelerating faster than I would like it to be.\u201d\nSetting fear aside, the Buryk family refuses to sink into hopelessness. \u201cIn the beginning, it was very hard\u2014lots of crying. But it\u2019s out of my control, and I have to control what I can control. We just go on and live our lives the best we can every day,\u201d Alexis said\u2014and that means taking action.\nIt was Katie who came out fighting from the start, and now, the entire family is working to raise awareness and funds for Tay-Sachs research. In the two and a half years since receiving the diagnosis, they have raised over $330,000 for the National Tay-Sachs & Allied Diseases Association (NTSAD), helping to fund four grants, one of which includes a study by the National Institutes of Health, using wearable devices to collect patient data that will set benchmarks for future clinical trials.\nIn addition, a family friend, Peggy Furth, made a generous donation to the Mayo Clinic to fund a lysosomal storage disorder initiative, which includes Tay-Sachs and similar diseases such as Pompe, Sandhoff, Gaucher and Niemann-Pick to name a few. \u201cWe are beyond excited and filled with hope for all the possibilities for my children as well as others with these rare genetic disorders,\u201d Alexis said.\nGene therapy could potentially cure the mutated gene for future generations. For now, Alexis is hanging her hopes on a drug that might slow the progression of the disease. \u201cNo mother wants her children to suffer,\u201d she said. \u201cThe lesson is to get genetic testing before you have children\u2014even if you\u2019re not Jewish. I would have liked to have known, and we could have done it differently, [had children by using her egg and donor sperm or vice versa].\u201d\nWhen it comes to research funds, rare diseases such as Tay-Sachs are not likely to attract large national campaigns and widespread fundraising efforts. But the Buryks want to you to know that every contribution counts.\nFurth\u2019s donation to the Mayo Clinic is exemplary. \u201cShe\u2019s one person. She\u2019s not related. But she is a friend who feels in her heart that she can be of help. What\u2019s in it for her? She believes she can make a difference, and she has the money and the moxie to make it happen,\u201d Alexis said. \u201cThis will be her legacy; she will leave a mark in this world.\u201d\nThe Buryk twins will also leave a mark by going public with their story and speaking out on behalf of the children who will never have a chance to do so. \u201cI hope to spread awareness. I would love to be able to educate others,\u201d Allie said. \u201cThe brain really fascinates me\u2014what we don\u2019t know about it and what we do. I just want to be able to help patients who suffer from neurological disorders and do everything I can to treat them.\u201d\n\u201cA hundred years from now, when I\u2019m not here, I know my name will come up [regarding Tay-Sachs],\u201d Katie said. Realistically, the cure will not come in her lifetime, but Katie\u2019s wish is to \u201cput up a big enough fuss\u201d to create some awareness. \u201cI feel like it\u2019s started something. Our family has opened the door for other people. I have my life, and I have a voice to speak up.\u201d\nFor more information on the NTSAD, call (617) 277-4463 or (800) 90-NTSAD, or visit ntsad.org/index.php/katie-allie buryk-research fund.

Although he had a degree in mathematics, after spending a summer working in an advertising agency, he decided to become a graphics artist and airbrush illustrator.\nDan moved to San Francisco in the late 1970s and worked for many advertising agencies. He eventually opened his own studio and formed a partnership with another artist, Sandra Fenton. Together they helped design advertisements and logos for many clients including the San Francisco 49ers, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) district, and Mornings on 2, a local television news program.\nDan had many loves: his dogs Anushka, Diddley, and Euphoria; his brother, Rene; his very close friends Carol, Cathie, and Ricky; his close friend and partner for five years, Lou; and, of course, his work and his computer.\nDan was also an avid Star Trek fan. In fact, he held on to life long enough to see the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. He wanted to see the movie Generations, which was due out in December 1994, but he could not wait any longer -- he passed away earlier that year. Because Dan was always one for the dramatic and the mystical, however, his friends were not surprised when the opening of Generations was moved up to Dan's birthday, November 18.\nHow fitting it is that Dan should be on the Celestis Founders Flight: by his presence on this historic flight, he is indeed boldly going where no one has gone before.",

Life, no matter how long, is too short for anything else.\u201d\nPatricia Jo Shelor Lambert, age 69, was born in September 1948 in Logan, West Virginia to coal miner and electrical engineer Roy Shelor and his wife Marguerite Cooper Shelor. She was the first of three children, her siblings Roy Shelor and James Shelor. She passed away in her sleep on February 17, 2018 after months of continued health issues.\nPatricia graduated in the top 10% of her class from Logan Sr. High School in Logan, West Virginia where she enjoyed the \u201cadvanced learning\u201d program, art classes and physical education. This led her to attend Marshall University, in West Virginia, where she graduated with a degree in secondary education.\nShe then moved to Virginia where she met her husband Jack Lambert and married him in 1970. They began their married life in South Western Virginia and settled in Radford, Virginia for the majority of their young married life. In 1972 they had their first son, Dr. Eric Lambert and in 1981 they had their second son, Michael Lambert. She was very proud of her family and strived to build good relationships with her family.\nIn 1975 she was hired as one of the first women in the Data Control Department at Volvo White Truck Corporation (White Motor Corporation at the time). She took night computer and business classes to continue her education and was promoted to computer programmer/analyst after several years. Then was eventually promoted to manager of Quality Control and Security of Volvo Heavy Truck Information Technology Division for North America and South America. She received several awards while working for Volvo and was on the World Council for Volvo, in which she traveled to Sweden several times a year, which she really enjoyed.\nShe was an extremely independent, positive, loving woman, who valued her family and friends above all else.\nShe wanted to share these words of advice for future generations:\n\u201cIf I had any advice to pass along to future generations, it would be to develop yourself to your highest potential. Involve yourself in creative activities and don\u2019t become a \u2018TV Junky\u2019. During the span of an average lifetime, the normal human being only \u2018taps\u2019 the hidden potential of the powerful brain that he or she possesses. So much more can be accomplished through the powers of the mind that can only be dreamed of by those with only physical power. I truly feel that our nation is \u2018missing the boat\u2019 in this field. A person must constantly strive throughout life to improve the \u2018temple\u2019 that God has so graciously give us. Try to develop a good sense of self-worth. In feeling good about yourself, you help others to do the same through your good example. Maintain the quality of empathy in order to keep a balanced perspective of yourself and the world around you. Never stop caring and giving of yourself in order to improve life for others and yourself. Don\u2019t be ashamed to cry when you feel the need, because this is a necessary function given from God to keep us healthy, physically and mentally. Don\u2019t be afraid to be a little \u2018different\u2019. Sometimes it is necessary not to \u2018go along with the crowd\u2019 in order to establish your own \u2018path\u2019. This is a sure sign of maturity and responsibility. Please remember that there is always something good in even the worst of us, just as a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day. Do not be quick to judge others and place blame, until you have personally \u2018walked in their shoes\u2019. Most of all, love whenever possible.

Crowns are made of a variety of different materials such as porcelain, gold, acrylic resin or a mix of these materials. Porcelain generally has the most natural appearance, although it is often less durable. This process generally consists of a minimum of 2-3 visits over a three to four week period.\nA dental bridge is a dental device that fills a space that a tooth previously occupied. A bridge may be necessary to prevent:\nA root canal is a procedure that extracts infected nerve tissue from the central part of the tooth, reshapes the canal and replaces it with strengthening filler. A cavity is the result of superficial decay of the enamel of the tooth. Left long enough, this decay can burrow into the deeper reaches of the tooth, causing extensive damage to tooth structure. When the damage goes beyond what can be treated with a filling, dentists can perform a root canal (or endodontics), preserving the tooth and retaining its original integrity; thereby, saving a tooth that in the past would have to have been pulled.\nA dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from the mouth. Extractions are performed for a wide variety of reasons, including tooth decay that has destroyed enough tooth structure to prevent restoration. Extractions of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are routinely performed, as are extractions of some permanent teeth to make space for orthodontic treatment.\nDental implants are artificial tooth replacements used to counter tooth loss. The procedure is categorized as a form of restorative dentistry, though it also falls into the category of cosmetic dentistry as well.\nAlthough you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.\nCentury City Dental Fillings | Dental Implants in Century City | Dental Crowns near Rancho Park",

        "raw_content": "Le penseur by Auguste Rodin at Columbia University. InSapphoWeTrust/Flickr\nJason Healey is president and founding board member of the Cyber Conflict Studies Association and a senior research scholar at Columbia University\u2019s School of International and Public Affairs. Christopher Hocking is a board member and the executive director of the Cyber Conflict Studies Association and a staff officer at Headquarters Air Force in Washington DC. You can follow them @Jason_Healey and @HockingRTB\nEvery academic discipline has a shared core body of knowledge that researchers in that field accept as foundational. Over the last few years, the Cyber Conflict Studies Association (CCSA) has worked to identify the foundational texts that should be familiar to anyone researching this area.\nThis work is important. The field of cyber conflict is growing faster than most other disciplines: not only are the underlying technologies booming but so is the audacity with which adversaries are using them for criminal and national security purposes. This makes it far more difficult for the cyber conflict community of researchers to identify what research has already been done especially as the most important work is often in non-traditional sources such as industry reports, news articles, blogs, or think tank analyses.\nCompared to the rise of air and nuclear power, for example, research into cyber has yet to identify \u201csettled truths.\u201d Even though many of the foundational texts are decades old, they are often ignored as new researchers join a field where so much seems fresh and forward-looking.\nTo attempt to close these gaps, the CCSA\u2014in partnership with the Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies at Columbia University\u2019s School of International and Public Affairs\u2014has held three annual workshops on the State of the Field of Cyber Conflict (SOTF).\nThe 2016 and 2017 conferences sought to identify the central questions of the field and which, if any, can be considered largely settled; the remaining or expanding gaps in the community\u2019s knowledge and research; and the canonical works which should form the core of any literature review for researchers new to the field. At both conferences, participants examined cyber conflict using a sub-field approach for tactical and technical dynamics, international relations and strategic dynamics, intelligence, history, and legal issues.\nThe 2016 SOTF resulted in a 115-page report which characterized these research areas and created a working bibliography of each of them.\nThe 2017 SOTF expanded the characterizations of the previous year and sought to answer critical questions in each subfield. This resulted in six whitepapers, jointly published by CCSA and SIPA, which represent the overall maturity of thinking in the field.\nThe 2018 SOTF took a different approach. The pervasive and persistent nature of cyber conflict, combined with Russia\u2019s application of proven information warfare techniques applied at scale against the integrity and confidence in the U.S. democratic process compelled a return to the most fundamental questions. This year\u2019s SOTF examined the three fundamentally unresolved questions of the cyber conflict era:\nWhat is the nature of cyber and information power?\nWhat is the nature of cyber conflict?\nHow has cyberspace changed the state and society?\nAt the end of the event, participants generally agreed that social science, as applied up to this point, has not been sufficient to understand much less stem the tide of cyber conflict and instability. Writing in this blog in September, Melissa Griffith summed up why scholarly research about cyber conflict is a significantly more challenging task than for, say nuclear. There are significant start-up costs for an academic looking to study cyber conflict as it requires \u201cboth technical and policy knowledge to be effective,\u201d and \u201cmuch of the important data about incidents and how private or government actors reacted\u201d is unavailable. The impacts of nuclear warfare are easily quantified absent a technical background. Conversely, the effects of cyber conflict are more nebulous and far more difficult to quantify. Quantifying discrete events of cyber conflict, as is done to develop theories of other kinds of conflict, may only count spikes such as when a long-running campaign like Stuxnet finally comes to light or sudden, spectacular incidents like NotPetya and Wannacry of 2017. The environment of persistent engagement where \u201cadversaries continuously operate against \u2026 the threshold of armed conflict\u201d means individual actions will confound easy quantification.\nThe SOTF reveals the scope and limits of the field\u2019s shared knowledge. Traditional political science methods created the foundation for research resulting in the bibliographies and the important subfield questions. The unique nature of information about cyber conflict\u2014companies tend to treat it as proprietary and state\u2019s asymmetric emphasis on inbound attacks and classification of their outbound attacks, challenges the use of traditional methods to understand causation. The nature of modern political science pedagogy and methods inhibits the types of non-traditional research we believe to be essential to studying cyber conflict. To remain relevant to cyber conflict, the political science discipline must evolve to reflect the agility seen in cyber conflict.\nIn the fifteen years since the founding of CCSA, the rate of occurrence and the actual and perceived consequence of cyber conflicts have only become more severe and the issues more confounding. The merge between \u201ccyber\u201d and \u201cinformation\u201d has blurred, making it difficult to identify whether those who create laws or those writing code set government policy in the space. Future SOTF workshops need to continue to push interdisciplinary boundaries, especially to include economists and sociologists to examine the fundamental and evolving nature of cyber conflict and be the connective tissue between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.\nCyber Week in Review: November 9, 2018",

Comrade 6079, Winston Smith, thinks a thought, starts a diary, and falls in love. But Big Brother is always watching. Filtering the spirit and the ambition of the novel through the lens of contemporary culture, this radical new staging for the first time is informed by the appendix of Orwell\u2019s definitive book, as it explores surveillance culture, identity and how thinking you can fly might actually be the first step to flying.\nGeorge Orwell\u2019s 1984, published in 1949, is one of the most influential novels in recent history, with its chilling depiction of perpetual war, pervasive government surveillance and incessant public mind control.

        "raw_content": "Cheese aficionados are no doubt familiar with Cypress Grove's Humboldt Fog, which is famed in the San Francisco Bay area and beyond. Thankfully, they've done it again, to paraphrase Britney; but it's a classic Jimi Hendrix song, not one of hers, that inspired the name of another unique cheese from the renowned northern California cheesemaker. The name refers to the appearance of this 3-inch round chevre disk which contains flakes of lavender buds and wild harvested fennel pollen in the goat's milk cheese. Believe it or not, there was a time goat cheese wasn't popular in the United States. Just twenty-five years ago, all the goat cheese sold in the United States was imported from Europe. Then, a few enterprising Americans \u2014 mostly women and mostly in northern California\u2014 began raising goats and making small batches of goat cheese in their kitchens.\nMary Keenh, founder and owner of Cypress Grove Creamery, was one. In the 1970s she began raising Alpine goats because she wanted a source of healthy milk for her children. Happily for us, she had a natural talent for raising goats. By selectively breeding her goats, Mary began winning numerous awards and soon gained fame as America's premier breeder of Alpine dairy goats. As her goats continued to thrive, she was faced with an unanticipated consequence\u2014lots and lots of surplus milk from fifty goats! So she began dabbling in cheesemaking\u2014creating unique and delicious recipes. It soon became clear that, in addition to selective goat breeding, she had a natural flair for cheesemaking. So in 1983, with the help of family and friends, Mary made the move from kitchen hobbyist to cheesemaking entrepreneur by founding Cypress Grove.\nFrom the get-go, quality was paramount to Mary. Her goal was to make the highest quality, tastiest, artisanal cheeses \u2013 which is not to say they were quickly accepted by Americans. At the time, too many of us consumed bland, sliced \"cheeses\" wrapped in plastic. Those who were open to goat cheese had become accustomed to the strong, tangy chevre cheeses of France. Fortunately, people\u2014and palates\u2014can be educated. It took quite a few years, but eventually consumers developed an appreciation for the smooth, delicate flavors of Cypress Grove cheeses. Patience, hard work, and a commitment to quality paid off, and over time a large, loyal following began to seek out the Cypress Grove label. Today, Cypress Grove is a leader in the domestic goat cheese market. Internationally awarded for excellence, they're renowned for their innovative range of fresh, aged, and ripened cheeses \u2014 many invented by Mary.\nAll fresh goat cheese should be kept as cold as possible without freezing (33\u00b0\u201335\u00b0F). To open the cheese, simply cut around the edge with kitchen shears and lift off the top and bottom of the package. If you don't consume all of it upon first opening, wrap the leftovers tightly in plastic wrap and place in the coldest part of your refrigerator. As with most artisan cheeses, bring the portion you plan to serve to room temperature to enhance the depth of flavor.\nThis 3-inch round chevre has a sweet, flowery (but not overwhelming) flavor and a soft, creamy texture. Enjoy it with crackers, ripe figs, and a red Zinfandel or with slices of kalamata olive bread and a glass of your favorite light red.",

        "raw_content": "Nursing Home Neglect Leads To Fall and Potentially Fatal Hemorrhage at Watseka Rehab\nA resident of the Watseka Rehab and Health Care Center in Watseka, Illinois suffered from facial lacerations and a subarachnoid hemorrhage after falling from her bed. A subarachnoid hemorrhage is the term used when blood fills the area between the skull and the brain. It\u2019s an extremely dangerous condition.\nThe injured resident was an Alzheimer\u2019s patient. That diagnosis included cognitive difficulties and total assistance with all daily activities including eating, bathing, and getting in and out of her bed and wheelchair. She also has a history of falls. An Alzheimer\u2019s patient requiring this level of assistance has certainly progressed well past the initial stages of the disease. It would be highly unlikely that any competent caregiver could fail to identify the fragility and helplessness of the resident.\nThe resident\u2019s physician made several orders regarding her care including an alarm device fitted to her bed and chair. The physician also ordered a bed that could be lowered close to the ground while the resident was in it and a mat to be placed on the floor. Clearly, the risk of a catastrophic injury as a result of a nursing home fall was foremost on the physician\u2019s mind.\nIn spite of these precautions, the resident experienced a nursing home fall from her bed at the Watseka Rehab and Health Care Center. The mat was not on the floor. The bed was not in a lowered position.\nAccording to the testimony from the certified nurses aide (CNA) present at the time, he had only just moved the mat from the floor. He also testified that the bed was in the lowered position, although his fellow employees refuted that assertion.\nNursing home falls are some of the most dangerous risks that exist in nursing homes because, in many instances, the most deadly ramifications from the fall are not realized for weeks or months after the fall has taken place. Injuries that restrict mobility can easily lead to infection, bed sores, pneumonia, and more.\nIf you have a loved one who has been injured in a nursing home fall in an Illinois nursing home, contact our Illinois nursing home lawyers for a free and confidential evaluation of your case.",

Already two families were paying close attention to the study of the Bible.\nThe animistic/Catholic practices involved drunken festivals and idol worship, the two missionaries realized. Expelled from the village, they were forlorn that all they could do for the two families attentive to the gospel was pray for them.\nThe native missionaries went to a nearby village, where people from the same ethnic group lived. One year after Christian Aid Mission emailed a prayer request that a miraculous opportunity for the gospel would open for the unreached people of this tribe, Christ is becoming known in the area.\nExpelled from the village, they were forlorn that all they could do for the two families attentive to the gospel was pray for them.\n\u201cWe thought it was the end of the work in that area, but now we see with joy that when they moved to a nearby indigenous tribal community, the doors were opened in three other communities of the same ethnic people group,\u201d the ministry leader said. \u201cIn addition, they continue to visit the contacts of the ethnic community from which they were expelled.\u201d\nNative missionaries are convinced that their work in this area will grow, he said.\n\u201cWe praise the Lord and celebrate that in recent months 12 new believers were discipled and decided to get baptized, despite the threats they have suffered after becoming believers,\u201d he said. \u201cTime after time these believers have told us, \u2018No matter what comes, we will serve the Lord.\u2019\u201d\nIn another village in the region, residents who had fiercely resisted the message of Christ\u2019s salvation now have a growing church.\nIn an area where evangelical Christians make up only 1 percent of the population, native missionaries saw their biggest victory when local authorities allowed them to hold a wedding, a Protestant ceremony open to everyone at the well-known community center.\n\u201cThis was an event that served as a testimony to the community and established good relations with people who oppose the gospel,\u201d the ministry leader said.\nThe gospel is spreading in Mexico as it is throughout Latin America thanks to the courage and commitment of native missionaries. Please consider a gift today to help bring the message of eternal life in Christ to people living in darkness.",

Donations to the PC survival horror game's development passed the goal of $50,000 earlier today.\n\"We want to thank everyone for helping us reach our goal so quickly from major Press, Youtubers, those building their fanbase, and others sharing the game all over the globe! We owe you a great deal and will be working just as hard as we always have (for most of us it's all we do after work with the support of our friends and loved ones),\" the developer said in an update on the game's Kickstarter page.\nIn Contagion, players take on the role of either human survivors or the zombies trying to eat them. The humans must scrounge up any weapons and ammo they can find throughout the map to fight off the advancing zombies. The zombie players, accompanied by an A.I. horde, try to wear down the survivors. Ammo is limited and each dead survivor becomes a zombie, so humans must quickly complete their objectives to avoid being overwhelmed by the infected.\nThe game will be released with at least three game modes. In Extraction, the human team must escort NPC's to safety while the zombies try to kill them. Escape mode tasks the survivors with accomplishing a few objectives and then making it to an exit point. Hunted is a free-for-all mode in which players battle over dwindling supplies in hopes of being the last man or woman standing. The objectives, items, and zombie spawn points are randomized in each map to increase replayability.\nThere are still 11 days left in the Kickstarter campaign so Monochrome is hoping to be able to hit some of their stretch goals. They'll be able to expedite the Mac and Linux versions if they hit $75,000. Earning $100,000 or $125,000 will allow Monochrome to develop a survival mode called Flatline and a vehicle-based Cruise mode, respectively, along with new maps, characters and weapons. The final goal of $250,000 will help Monochrome pursue console versions. Monochrome says they plan to do all of these things regardless of whether they hit these stretch goals but \"knowing we can afford the work involved as well as the ability to set deadlines it sure doesn\u2019t hurt.\"\nContagion will hit Steam Early Access on October 25th. Players will be able to buy the in-development version of the game for $15 and get all of the updates, including the final build of the game, for no additional charge. After the game officially launches, it will be $20 to purchase.\nYouTube personality PewDiePie got some hands-on time with Contagion recently and posted the video footage today.

        "raw_content": "Subscribe To Why Bruce Wayne Isn't In Batman: Arkham City Updates\nWhy Bruce Wayne Isn't In Batman: Arkham City\nWhile Batman is the main character of both Batman: Arkham City and its predecessor Arkham Asylum, neither game lets you play his alter ego Bruce Wayne.\n\"Because it\u2019s a Batman game. He\u2019s powerful and aspirational but you never lose sight of the fact that he is mortal,\" Rocksteady Studios marketing manager Dax Ginn told PlayStation.Blog. \"It\u2019s such fertile ground and in Arkham City we will go deeper into the man behind the cowl by bringing in characters like Hugo Strange, who knows Batman\u2019s true identity, and Talia al Ghul, who has a romantic relationship with him.\"\n\"Through those characters we see his vulnerable side but our aim has always been to make an action game, not a business simulator, and when you start thinking about what you would do while playing as Bruce Wayne, it doesn\u2019t seem terribly exciting in comparison.\"\nArkham City's structure doesn't really lend itself to a Bruce Wayne segment, anyway. Batman is trapped inside a walled-off section of Gotham filled with the city's most vile criminals. He's pretty much in \"battle mode\" the whole time. There's no reason for him to remove the cowl.\nStill, the idea of having to maintain a secret identity in a video game is interesting. It's not something attempted very often. Splinter Cell: Double Agent was sort of like that. The player controlled a government agent that had to infiltrate a terrorist group. He had to perform terrorist activities but limit the damage so he'd maintain the trust of his agency. In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, players took on the role of vampires who had to fit into society by not using supernatural abilities or feeding in view of humans.\nStill, I'm not sure there's ever been a game that focused on the double identity of a super hero. The Arkham series already has its niche so it probably won't go there. It seems like an opportunity for some other developer, though.",

Though it earned some attention in Oscar\u2019s now mostly ignored musical category, there\u2019s still never been anything quite like it. The man who wrote and directed it, John Carney, never really got much attention. Now though, it seems like he\u2019s starting to get his due.\nCarney\u2019s working on a new music-themed movie called Can a Song Save Your Life? and The Post says Scarlett Johansson is set to star. The movie would have Scarlett as a burgeoning young music star who falls for a washed up A&R man, a part yet to be cast. Names as widely varied as Jim Carrey and Mark Ruffalo have been rumored for that part.\nWord is that Scarlett will actually be required to sing in the movie. Though that may sound strange to fans of her movies, in which she hasn\u2019t actually done much singing, Johansson actually released an album called Anywhere I Lay My Head in 2008, in which she covers Tom Waits songs.\nOf course Paris Hilton once released an album too, when you\u2019re already famous, releasing an album isn\u2019t necessarily proof you can sing. Not everyone can be Zooey Deschanel. So here\u2019s the title track from Scarlett\u2019s album. Check out her pipes:\nMaybe she can pull it off. She\u2019s got sort of a Fiona Apple thing going on. It\u2019ll probably help that she has a proven genius, in Carney behind her. It doesn\u2019t hurt that Can a Song Save Your Life? is being produced by Judd Apatow, who generally seems to know what he\u2019s doing.

With Charlize Theron as the villainous evil queen and Kristen Stewart playing Snow White, it's probably not a spoiler to suggest that the two will face off at some point. A clip from the film has made its way online that offers a peek at what could be a big moment between the two characters.\nSnow White And The Huntsman Debuts Surprisingly Terrible New Poster\nI seriously don't understand how they've got the entire world of awesome visuals they've shown off in the trailers and come up with a poster that's not just generic, but actively bad. It's almost enough to make me wonder about the quality of the film as a whole, but everything else we've seen has been so intriguing that it seems fair to regard this as an outlier\nSnow White And The Huntsman Sequel May Hire David Koepp To Write The Script\nDavid Koepp is now in negotiations with Universal to write the script for the untitled follow-up to the upcoming fairy tale adaptation. The reason why the studio is so eager to bring a writer on-board this early is because they want to fast track the sequel and keep director Rupert Sanders locked in and ready to make the next installment immediately as his next project.\nSecond Snow White And The Huntsman Trailer Puts Kristen Stewart In Combat\nTheron continues to dominate the show as the wicked queen, doing with frozen gazes and a flawless beauty what most actresses probably wouldn't even be capable of.

This course will inspire you to rethink assumptions to address global challenges in conservation and development, and introduce you to new models and approaches that harness technological, behavioral, and financial innovation. This course will equip you with the insights, skills and approaches necessary to successfully overcome these obstacles. In addition, this course will provide participants with the tools, models, and approaches to address global grand challenges in conservation and development, to question fundamental assumptions, and to create and execute new solutions. Course participants will be trained in the processes around innovation and design to address global grand challenges. This includes content focused on constructing innovation pipelines, principals of design and engineering unique to the developing world and to conservation (Design for the Other 90%), on harnessing and developing disruptive technologies, principles of behavior and marketing, and on overcoming the challenges with setting up social ventures.\nThe course format will facilitate the development of a global community of innovators who will help solve the current and future grand challenges our planet faces in conservation and development, and will encourage thinking about how to do so that rethinks traditional assumptions and approaches within both conservation and development. This course will leverage the incredible idealism and interest in social entrepreneurship, design, and innovation among the millennials, in the US and abroad, and is intended to appeal to those interested in the maker movement. It also seeks to engage individuals in the developing world who are closest to the problems of conservation and development, who would benefit from the approaches taught in the course, and who can leverage their own knowledge of local culture.\nThis course will focus on new approaches to development problems that harness technological and financial innovations, coupled with entrepreneurship, to improve the scale, sustainability, and efficacy of development and conservation approaches. Specifically, the course will seek to ask: How can the next generation of technologies, coupled with new financial innovations and approaches, help address conservation and development challenges and rethink assumptions? How can science and technology help us deliver more services with less costly infrastructure? To achieve these goals, the course will be split into four segments: 1) Review of the major challenges, current approaches, and criticisms of those approaches for development, including what development has been effective; 2) Review of the major challenges for conservation and the current debate in the field of how we may transform conservation; 3) Rethinking assumptions to solving the grand challenges in conservation and development, including review of new technologies and innovations; and 4) Design, marketing, and entrepreneurship for addressing global grand challenges.\nTo get started, begin by watching the Welcome Video, view the Course Overview document, and review the Course Resources information I provided. I hope you enjoy the course!\nWe are in the middle of a period of extraordinary change on the planet, a sixth great mass extinction. Unlike the previous mass extinction events, this is the first extinction in Earth\u2019s history that is driven by the actions of a single species. During this period, the earth has been fundamentally changing physically, chemically, biologically, and ecologically. The problems of extinction and habitat destruction are increasing exponentially, while our solutions are incremental. Conservation remains at times technophobic, risk-averse, reactionary, intransigent, and uninspiring, but it is changing. Much as humans have caused these problems, we have the ability to solve them. This module will present the Grand Challenges in Conservation, from wildlife trade, to energy, to climate change, to addressing the underlying drivers of global extinction. You will hear from leaders of some of the world\u2019s most important conservation organizations working on these topics. We will examine the current debate underway in the future of conservation.\nThis week's module will demonstrate ways to: (1) apply our unparalleled innovation capacity and harness our technological advances to engineer resilience to global environmental changes; and (2) change demand and incentive structures to alter our behavior, and improve our ability to monitor and protect species around the world. Finally, this module looks in-depth at one of the world\u2019s most important biodiversity hotspots, Madagascar, an 8th continent that has served as a laboratory for evolution. To get started, begin by watching the video \"Conservation Grand Challenges.\"\nThe democratization of science and technology has given us powerful new tools to apply to the grand challenges identified in previous modules. Technology has gained exponentially in processing power, memory capacity, sensor density and number, pixel capacity, and storage. Current advances in molecular biology are rivaling (and in some cases overtaking) the rate of change that we have seen in computing and information technology. The democratization of information technology, coupled with the global spread of mobile platforms, particularly smartphones, allows for revolutionary new approaches in conservation and development that were impossible a decade ago. We have new ways of monitoring the planet from low cost sensors on artisanal fishing boats, to drones and to nanosatellites, that allow us to monitor the planet at multiple scales with unprecedented resolution and cadence. 3D Printing allows for faster prototyping and decentralization of manufacturing. Greater degrees of global connectivity allow us to crowd source the world for new ideas through open innovation. Open source approaches can help develop and/or source new ideas or products, distribute the burden for collecting and analyzing data, co-design new solutions, and share in the burdens of research, publication, and funding, while simultaneously engaging the public.\nThis module is an introduction to these new tools and technologies for conservation and development through lectures, technology demos, and interviews with leading engineers, innovators, and entrepreneurs who are at the cutting edge of some of these areas. These interviews include leaders at Indiegogo, XPRIZE, Planet Labs, and USAID. You will receive an in-depth look at open source innovation, including how to run a crowdfunding campaign. You will closely examine the internal mechanics of two of the Grand Challenges for Development programs: maternal and child health, and using innovation to design a better protective suit for Ebola.\nTo get started, view the video \"Emerging Technologies for Conservation and Development, Part 1.\"\nBehavior is the cutting edge of adaptation. It can be the fastest way to meaningful change and also the biggest barrier against it. Behavioral innovations such as incentives and rewards, harnessing competition and gamification, knowledge gaps, social pressure and networks, fear, self-identity and self-worth, and altruism provide powerful new tools to accelerate change and break down barriers. Financial innovations are a subset of behavior change. They include pay-for-performance mechanisms such as direct payments for conservation, advance market commitments, social impact bonds, conservation finance, conservation credit trading platforms, as well as harnessing new tools and platforms such as crowdfunding, microinsurance, microcredits, peer-to-peer lending, pay-as-you-go mechanisms, and franchise schemes. Finally, design is the application of behavioral science and anthropology to products and systems. When done well, design can integrate the needs of people and species; the possibilities of technology; and the demand for impact, sustainability, and scalability.\nThis week's content is an introduction to new models of behavioral and financial innovation, and design theory. This module features lectures and interviews with Asher Jay, a creative conservationist who uses art and marketing to end wildlife trafficking, Krista Donaldson, the CEO of Design Revolution (D-Rev), and Ron Gonen, the cofounder of Recyclebank, a model of how behavior change, technology, and entrepreneurship can solve environmental challenges.\nTo get started, view the video Design for Impact.\"\nOnce you have your idea or innovation, how do you translate it into an enterprise (entrepreneurship) or a startup within a company or institution (intrapreneurship)? How do you influence other companies to adopt your novel approach (extrapreneurship)? How do you create a social enterprise, a value-driven organization that borrows heavily from tools of the private sector, or a new for-profit venture that has a double bottom line \u2013 the twin aims of both profit and impact? This module is an introduction to the art of the start \u2013 from understanding how to think about your business model, to putting together a team, to pitching for funding, and getting to scale.\nTo get started, view the video \"Introduction to Social Entrepreneurship.\"\ninnovation sustainability global challenges usa north america\nInnovation & Entrepreneurship - From Basics to Open Innovation via Coursera\nOpen Innovation via FutureLearn\nLeadership Through Design Innovation via Coursera\nInnovation Management: Winning in the Age of Disruption via FutureLearn\nCrafting Strategies for Innovation Initiatives for Corporate Entrepreneurs via Coursera\nReviews for Coursera's Innovation and Design for Global Grand Challenges",

        "title": "Is My Company At Risk If I Don\u2019t Have A Managed IT Services Company?",
        "raw_content": "Of the risks your company faces on a regular basis, those associated with your IT department are likely a low concern and priority. The fact is, in today\u2019s world most office professionals are capable of conducting the majority of their own IT work as needed for their individual devices. However, that isn\u2019t their primary job description; their time is better used for the projects they were hired to do. There is also a matter of uniformity and consistency with how work is performed. When these issues are considered, it begins to make sense as to why a designated IT team is generally a worthwhile investment.\nJust like employees are specialists in their own job description, IT people also tend to have specialties. Although IT people have the training and education required to work in any field, their personal expertise depends on their individual professional experience. Someone who has worked in architectural offices, as an example, may have a bit of learning curve when dealing with medical software and equipment. That\u2019s not to say they \u201ccan\u2019t\u201d do the job and do it well, but they will take longer and likely have to correct some errors after initial setup. Hiring an outside source with specific industry experience for managed IT services is recognized as a solution for these and other problems that arise when using an in-house team.\nBudgeting and Accounting for IT Expenses\nWith an in-house IT department, you know what you pay the employees who conduct the work, but are you aware of how much you\u2019re really spending regarding efficiency? This can include issues with how much downtime the IT team has, and how much time other employees are spending to do some of the work themselves. Many office needs can be provided with an app, but what happens when the marketing department is using one app while the sales team uses a different app? Then you have to consider the time spent when they work together to make their work compatible with each other. An in-house IT team will likely work with each department individually rather than pointing out how efficiency would be boosted if they both agreed to use the same programming. Having an outside managed IT resource is going to be more likely to assure such inconsistencies are corrected.\nTo the layman, \u201cSecure Network\u201d can vary according to each person\u2019s concerns. Cyber attack is something everyone who uses a computer is aware of, and certainly a threat every company faces. But there are other ways in which a network can be insecure. Imagine the nightmare of having a major system-wide failure and losing important client information. Such an incident might happen from a computer crash due to improper setup, outdated software, or even a natural disaster. It\u2019s important to remember information has to be backed up, securely, as insurance might cover the physical damage of a flood or fire but no amount of insurance payment can cover the cost of lost data when hardware is destroyed in such a scenario.\nKeeping a Backup Plan in Case of Emergency\nThere always has to be a backup plan in place for such an emergency. One of the worst things that can happen to a business is for clients to lose faith in the company\u2019s ability to provide their service, and that\u2019s what happens when you lose data. Think about how you would feel if an investment adviser had to ask you to resupply all your information with an explanation it had been lost in a network failure. You probably wouldn\u2019t feel comfortable continuing to work with that company because even though they might be really good with financial advice, they aren\u2019t completing the job by keeping your investments secure. Likewise, your clients are going to wonder about your professionalism if you lose their information.\nSpecialized Services for Your Field\nSpecialized services are the new norm and expectation of every business, and this concept holds true for IT personnel as well. To return to the previous example, the IT person who works with an architect knows how to set up a plotter to make blueprints, and they understand how to use software toward making graphic designs for presentational purposes. They have an aptitude for such things which is why they went into the IT business, but they still don\u2019t have the experience to set up medical equipment and even though some software might be the same or similar, it\u2019s going to be used differently by a doctor\u2019s office. Someone with a specific specialty working with people in your field is merely going to be more efficient for your needs.\nTrying to \u201cFigure It Out on the Fly\u201d\nHaving office workers conduct their own IT work can potentially be even more disastrous toward office morale and overall efficiency. Most people have a familiarity with computers and equipment and can figure out how to get it working, but might take all day or even settle for a less than perfect setup. Have you ever seen someone print a 20-page document one page at a time because they can\u2019t get the printer to print the entire project as a single function? Now imagine that situation with over a hundred pages, and what else they could be working on instead of manually printing each page and then having to put the papers in proper order after spending half a day trying to make it work. An IT person fixes it by spending five minutes to clear old data and restart the printer.\nThe rest of your company is specialized by department, so should your IT. A managed IT services company can provide for your needs and due to the nature of the work, makes more sense than allowing the job to be conducted in-house. You end up with oversight for your network by specialists not only in IT work, but how it pertains to your business needs.",

        "title": "Chapter 6",
        "raw_content": "About Demian\nEmil Sinclair\nSummary and Analysis Chapter 6 - Jacob Wrestling\nAt the onset of chapter six, Emil Sinclair is a young man of eighteen. Because of the teachings of Pistorius, he has learned a great deal about self-acceptance and self-reliance, as well as about human nature in a more universal sense. With Pistorius, Sinclair has been very open, sharing his inner feelings and dreams. There is one exception, though. Sinclair has never told Pistorius about his one dark dream, the haunting dream of his return home and of the forbidden embrace of the half-masculine, half-motherly figure.\nPistorius continues to encourage Sinclair to listen to his dreams, to seek after them, and above all, not to fear them. Much earlier, Demian had told Sinclair that he had to learn what was permitted and what was forbidden for him individually. This brought up the concept of individual morality and Emil's statement that evil acts are not justified simply because they exist. Sinclair questioned whether a wrong such as murder could be justified. Demian did not provide a definite answer at that time, saying only that Sinclair had to sense and do what he thought he should do. Pistorius and Sinclair also touch upon this concept.\nThis time, however, it is discussed from a psychological point-of-view rather than as a purely philosophical concept. Concerning the justification of murder, Pistorius claims that, at times, it could be permissible although most often not. He tells Sinclair that he must discern whether or not such urges are simply Abraxas interacting with the individual. His rationale is that if an individual hates another so much that he wants to kill him, it is usually because there is some specific characteristic in the other person that he hates. Pistorius adds that the hatred is directed toward that specific aspect which is also present in the person himself. What is not part of ourselves doesn't bother us. Therefore murder would be a mistake. Again though, Pistorius stresses that all of reality is relative to the individual.\nDuring his final term in high school, Sinclair is suddenly approached one day by a younger student named Knauer. Knauer has been carefully observing Sinclair and is aware of his unique qualities, his \"mark of Cain.\" It is Knauer's desire to befriend Sinclair and to learn whatever Sinclair can teach him, while he himself offers some interesting concepts to Emil. Knauer knows a bit about the mystical world and such things as white magic. Knauer's deepest problem is his fear of his own sexuality. He expresses his belief that continence is necessary for spiritual purity. Sinclair disagrees with this idea. Although he has never had any sort of sexual contact with a woman, he feels that he should and would have sex under the proper conditions, namely mutual love. Sinclair informs Knauer that he can tell him nothing; he must find his own way by listening to his inner voice. Disappointed and disillusioned, young Knauer leaves in a fit of anger after insulting Sinclair.\nAfter painting another picture, once again in a dreamlike state, of his dark dream image, Sinclair begins to worship it. The words of the biblical Jacob exhorting the blessing of the angel he has wrestled into submission come to Emil's mind. This partly explains the significance of the chapter title. Emil is clinging to the figure he has imprisoned on canvas and is asking its blessing. During this particular trance, Sinclair's mind flashes to the remote past, even pre-existence, and then to the future.\nWaking from his deep sleep, he finds the painting mysteriously missing. He is unable to remember what happened to it but thinks he might have burned it, and that possibly in his dream he burned it in his palm and then ate the ashes. The most probable answer is that the painting existed only in Sinclair's mind.\nRestless, Sinclair ventures into the night and finds himself hurriedly drawn through the town by some unidentifiable force until he arrives at a new, partially constructed building. The setting is reminiscent of Sinclair's earlier liaison with Kromer. Here, inside the building, he finds the student Knauer, cowering in the dark, waiting for daybreak to implement his plan of suicide. Sinclair has saved Knauer's life. There is no rational explanation for this event. However, keeping in mind the chapter title, the occurrence seems fitting because Jacob also saved a life through his struggle with the angel. Once again Sinclair's progression, both inward and upward, is apparent through this scene, which is comparable to Demian's earlier salvation of Emil.\nIn the subsequent conversations with Pistorius, Sinclair learns a great deal more about religions. He learns about Abraxas, reads from the Vedas, and even speaks the sacred \"Om.\" Shortly, however, Sinclair realizes that he has absorbed all the knowledge that Pistorius has to offer. Knowledge is communicable, but wisdom is not. Pistorius has been of great value in presenting knowledge, but when one considers Pistorius's utilizing or living all that he endorses, Pistorius is a failure. Unable to resist a sudden impulse caused by a moment of frustration, Sinclair blurts out this opinion to Pistorius, deeply wounding him and causing a breach between the two which will never really heal. Despite his immediate guilt feelings, Sinclair is unable to apologize because he feels the fundamental truth of what he had said. Thus, the student has surpassed his teacher.\nSinclair comes to believe that each individual has but one real function in life: He must find the way to himself. What his vocation might turn out to be, or whether the person turns out good or evil is of no real consequence. The important concern is simply for the individual to seek his own destiny. Any other approach to life leads to shallowness and unfulfillment.\nA bildungsroman is a novel of\ncomedic action among the principal characters.\nepic proportions.\nmoral and psychological development of the main character.\nromantic entanglement with an archnemesis.",

        "raw_content": "A few weeks ago, I did a basic analysis of AngelList job postings. That analysis looked at attributes like job locations, vesting schedules, and commonly requested skills.\nIn this post, I'll look at salary and equity numbers based on startup size. In my experience, founders frequently give out equity grants that are too generous or too stingy. The dangers of stinginess are that candidates will choose to work somewhere else and that you will waste a lot of time interviewing people who definitely won't take your offer. The danger of generosity is that, especially for the first few hires, you are giving away much more equity than you need to. That equity could be used to give stronger offers to multiple candidates later on, to raise more money from investors, or to retain more decision-making power for founders.\nEvery job posting on AngelList has a salary range and an equity range. For example, at the time of this writing, Casetext is hiring a full-stack software engineer and offering $90k - $125k in salary and 0.3% - 1.5% in equity.\nTwo notes on these ranges: first, the more senior and well-qualified you are, the closer your offer will be to the top of the company's salary/equity ranges. Second, a lot of companies will let you trade equity for salary. That is, if a company is offering 1% - 2% equity and $100k - $130k salary, a specific candidate might get to choose between $100k and 1.75% or $125k and 1.2%.\nI used AngelList's API to find all full-time jobs in Silicon Valley that were posted in the last 2 months and offered salaries of at least $20k. I then checked LinkedIn and manually counted the number of employees at each company. (This was exactly as fun as it sounds.) To keep the manual work manageable, I limited the companies I was looking at to those with an AngelList Signal score of 6 or more, which cut the number of companies in half. All of these filters resulted in a list of jobs at over 300 startups. Finally, I grouped startups by the number of employees they had, then graphed the equity and salary offers for different company sizes.\nMy methodology is far from perfect, and there are lots of areas where fuzziness was introduced. For example, not everyone is on LinkedIn, so employee counts based on LinkedIn data won't be perfectly accurate. The following data is meant to provide ballpark ranges for salary and equity offers. Please don't treat it as gospel.\nNote: These are benchmarks based on a medium-sized sample; they're not hard-and-fast rules. The benchmarks are for engineering jobs in Silicon Valley. (Non-engineering jobs are discussed at the end of this post.)\nAssuming that a startup has two founders, here are some ballpark numbers for engineering job offers:\nFor employee #1:\n20th percentile salary range is $70k - $100k\nFor employees #2 through #13, salaries rise for higher paying jobs:\n80th percentile salary range is $100k - $150k\nFor employees #14 through #35, salaries rise for lower paying jobs :\nLower salary ranges tend to be for more junior or more specialized roles (e.g. front-end engineer). Higher salary ranges tend to be for more senior roles, or for full-stack engineers. That is, a Junior Front-End Engineer is more likely to get an offer in the 20th percentile, while a Senior Full-Stack Engineer is more likely to get an offer in the 80th percentile.\nHire #1: 2% - 3% of equity\nHires #2 through #5: 1% - 2%\nHires #6 and #7: 0.5% - 1%\nHires #8 through #14: 0.4% - 0.8%\nHires #15 through #19: 0.3% - 0.7%\nHires #21 through #27: 0.25% - 0.6%\nThese ranges indicate the maximum equity amounts offered by companies. These amounts are typically reserved for ideal candidates, or candidates who are very senior. If you're just out of college or not a perfect fit for a company, you will probably get a little (or a lot) less. A good way to frame these numbers is to add \"up to\" before each range. For example, a typical 6th hire will get up to 0.5%-1%.\nGiven the recent attention to burn rates, one interesting observation here is that the first ten employees of a company will own about 12% of the company, and will cost, on average, about $100k/month for salary alone. Companies that are able to raise $1.5m+ seed rounds are fortunate because they can usually get about 18 months of runway as their team grows from a few founders to 10-15 people.\nSalaries for Engineers\nAfter employee #1, salaries for employees were relatively close together, with one noticeable jump occurring around the 13th or 14th hire. I suspect this is around the size of a company raising a Series A, and as soon as an A round is closed, the company increases salaries a little bit.\nHere are graphs of min/max engineering salaries:\nThe way to interpret these graphs is that the horizontal axis is the salary's percentile among all other salaries. For example, if a company is offering a salary range of $90k - $140k for an engineer who will be the 8th employee, then we can see that $90k and $140k are each at the 60th-70th percentile on their respective graphs, so the salary offer is pretty good (better than 2/3 of startups).\nEquity for Engineers\nThe following graphs are histograms for max equity stakes of different job offers. Each bar represents a single startup's offer. For example, the first graph shows that for hire #1, 6 startups offered up to 2% equity, 4 startups offered up to 3%, and 3 startups offered up to 5%.\nI expected to see a consistent drop for each additional employee, but was surprised to find that offers remained consistently high for many employees at a time. For example, the equity for Hire #5 is often similar to the equity for Hire #2. This feels like a market inefficiency, as Hire #5 is taking on much less risk than Hire #2.\nWhat about latecomer VPs, Directors, etc?\nThe dataset only had 7 data points for VPs and Directors of Engineering who came in when a company already had 10+ people. In those cases, their equity stakes were at the top of the ranges for their employee numbers (e.g. 1.5% for a VP who was employee #13), and their salary ranges were consistently around $120k - $180k.\nWhat about non-Engineers?\nThe sample size of non-engineering jobs at early stage companies is too small to analyze rigorously. That said, here are some high-level observations:\nVPs tend to get 1%-2%. Directors tend to get 0.5% - 1.0%. Salary ranges for directors are often $80k - $140k.\nNon-director role salaries were very inconsistent, ranging from $40k - 60k to $80k - $120k (for the same job titles). Presumably there's also a commission structure, but that's not captured by AngelList.\nEquity stakes for non-director roles were generally 1% or less. For the first 10 hires, equity was typically 0.3% - 0.5%, then dropped off to 0.1% - 0.2% for subsequent hires.\nVPs: not enough data\nDirectors at < 15-person companies: $80k-$120k, 0.5% - 1.0%\nDirectors at >= 15 person companies: $120k-$180k, 0.25% - 0.5%\nUI/UX/Designer jobs\nMedian salary range was around $80k-$130k.\nDesigners among the first four hires get up to 1-2% equity, occasionally only 0.5%. Designers among next 5 hires get up to 0.5% - 1.0%. 0.2% - 0.5% for employees #10-30.\nI'd like to reiterate that there wasn't enough data to deeply analyze non-engineering jobs. There were sales reps who joined early and only got 0.05% stakes, as well as marketers who joined late and got 1% stakes.\nWhat about outside of Silicon Valley?\nI chose to focus on Silicon Valley because the dataset was more manageable. For other locales like NYC or Houston, a hack that might work is to look at a dozen random, high-quality companies and see how their offers compare to Silicon Valley's. Seeing where those offers fall can help calibrate expectations.\nThat's a lot of data. Now what?\nThere are four common problems with startup job offers:\nThe founder's offer is too generous. In this case, the employee will be happy in the short term, but the company suffers in the long term. If the founder gives away 10% more than they should to the first 10 employees, then that's 10% less that's available for fundraising and future equity grants -- and that might break the company.\nThe founder's offer is too stingy. In this case, the entire interview process is usually a waste of time for both parties. Furthermore, even if an employee takes the offer, it's harder to retain them because they'll either resent the founder once they realize they're being paid below market, or they'll just move to a company that pays better.\nThe employee's expectations are too high. In this case, the interview process is likely a waste of time, and the employee is likely to pass on multiple good job opportunities before realizing they have unrealistic expectations.\nThe employee's expectations are too low. If a founder exploits this, it hurts long-term retention and builds long-term resentment among employees.\nThe goal of this analysis is to increase transparency, which can help mitigate these four issues. The benchmarks are just rough guidelines, but they can be helpful if the employee expects to receive 2% while the founder thinks 0.2% is fair, or vice versa.\nAs a parting thought, I'd like to reiterate that these are not rules, they are starting points. There are plenty of reasons to have higher equity grants (e.g. a specific employee can change the entire direction of a company) and plenty of reasons for lower grants (e.g. there are significant non-financial perks, like working with an amazing founder or working on a particularly meaningful project).\nThanks to Mike Greenfield and Cheng-Tao Chu for feedback on earlier drafts of this post.",

        "raw_content": "Tit-For-Tat Office Hours with a Seed-Stage VC\nFor a while now, I've wanted to try holding office hours. I've been a big beneficiary of Silicon Valley's pay-it-forward culture, and I'd love to play a part in maintaining that culture. Winter holidays are a forced vacation for VCs*, so this seems as good a time as any to give office hours a try. The experiment that I want to conduct is \"tit-for-tat office hours\": each person I meet with can ask me whatever they want for 20 minutes, and then I can ask them to teach me something related to their professional experience for 5 minutes. I've never tried this before, but hopefully it'll be useful and fun for everyone involved.\nWhat? 25-minute time slots for office hours with a software engineer turned VC.\nWhen and Where? 10am-4pm on Dec 28 (Redwood City), Jan 4 (Redwood City), and Jan 11 (SF).\nWho is this for? Current and aspiring founders in the SF Bay Area. (If this experiment is successful, I'm open to online office hours in the future.)\nHow to Apply? If you're interested, please email me with 1-3 topics that you'd like to discuss and a link to your LinkedIn profile (so that I have a sense of whom I'm talking to).\n(Anticipated) FAQ\nWhat can we cover during office hours?\nSome things I can offer during a session: feedback on your business/idea/pitch, general business advice, my impressions of where your company's biggest risks are, opinions on what the market valuation for your next round might be, etc. I'll honestly answer any question that you have, or I'll tell you that I don't know the answer.\nI studied computer science at Caltech, then spent ten years working as a software engineer. During that period, I was one of the first engineers at LinkedIn, and then spent three years at Google and four years at Factual. For the last four years, I've been a cofounder/partner at a seed-stage venture fund called Susa Ventures. We've invested in about 50 companies so far, including Andela, Flexport, LendUp, and Robinhood. Most of my investing experience is with seed-stage B2B companies.\nMy LinkedIn profile.\nWhy should I care about your opinion?\nYou probably shouldn't. But hey, it's free!\nHow will you pick who gets a time slot during office hours?\nMore likely: there are fewer people that want time slots than there are time slots. Everyone gets a slot.\nLess likely: if there are more people than time slots, there will be a preference for discussion topics where I think I can be more helpful, and for people who come from groups that are underrepresented in the founder community (when emailing me, you can optionally let me know if you fall into such a group).\nCan I use my office hours slot to pitch you for an investment?\nNo. If you want to practice your pitch and get feedback then I'm happy to help. If you want to do a formal pitch because you think my fund may be a good fit for your seed round** then office hours are not the right venue. Just email me about doing a formal pitch instead.\nCan you refer me to other investors after we talk?\nSorry, no. Most VCs only want intros that are warm/vouched for, and I can't offer intros like that if we've spent <30 minutes together.\nWhat kind of things would you like to learn?\nAlmost anything: what it's like to work in a field I'm unfamiliar with, your thoughts on the industry you work in, your favorite management advice, etc.\nWill you reply to every email?\nI'll try! I have no idea how much interest there will be. In the likely scenario that I get 1 or 10 or 50 emails, I'll reply to all of them. In the very unlikely scenario that I get 500 or 1,000 emails, I might not be able to reply to everyone, but I'll do my best.\nWill you make office hours a regular thing?\nIf the experiment works out well, then yes.\n* Founders assume VCs don't work during the holidays, so they don't try setting up pitch meetings. As a result, VCs don't have any work to do and end up going on vacation. =\\\n** Roughly speaking, Susa Ventures invests $500k-$750k into seed-stage companies. We mostly invest in B2B companies, like to see a little bit of traction/market validation (e.g. $10k+ in monthly revenue), and we limit our focus to companies that have the potential to build strong long-term competitive advantages (network effects, proprietary data, economies of scale, and so on).",

The consultation process will also help to ensure that the White Paper, once published, induces a lasting discussion process and leads to practical implementation by as many partners as possible.\nIn April 2006, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe set down the guidelines for the consultation process. They outline the consultation process with:\nthe governments of the 46 member states;\nthe various independent organs of the Council of Europe and the institutions established under partial agreements;\nthe steering committees of the Council of Europe;\ninternational organisations active in the area of intercultural dialogue;\nrepresentatives of local and regional authorities, of ethnic and religious communities and civil society organisations;\nexperts in the field of intercultural dialogue;\nConsultations will be organised through written questionnaires, discussions and dialogue events, written reports and individual contributions, such as through this web site.\nMore information on how you can contribute to the White Paper\nIn order to facilitate the consultations, the Council of Europe developed a \u201cconsultation document\u201d, which can be downloaded here. The document presents the background, the aims and the mechanisms of the consultation process and outlines the envisaged messages of the White Paper. It also contains more than 30 questions.\nMore information on the consultation questions\nAt present, the highlights of the consultation process include:\nMarch 2007 - Meeting with youth organisations and national committees of the \u201call different \u2013 all equal\u201d youth campaign\nApril 2007 - Consultation with the Conference of International Non-Governmental Organisations; European conference on the religious dimension of intercultural dialogue (San Marino)\nMay 2007 \u2013 Consultation with immigrant communities (Lisbon) and with representatives of Roma and Travellers\nJune 2007 \u2013 Colloquy on the consultation results\nThe consultation period is expected to last from the end of 2006 to May 2007.\nThe White Paper is expected to be adopted by November 2007.\nIn order to solicit the views of the major stakeholders, the Council of Europe uses a general questionnaire (contained in the \u201cconsultation document\u201d) as well as a number of specific questionnaires designed for particular groups. Examples are the questionnaires for:\nOrganisations representing, working with or supporting immigrants and persons of immigrant background\nMembers of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe\nUpdated information on the consultation process\nThe consultation process will be accompanied by a group of eminent intellectuals and high political representatives, who will meet to evaluate the results of the consultations and to contribute to the drafting of the final text of the White Paper.",

        "raw_content": "We're Calling It: Lucky's Is the Grocery Chain Everyone Will Soon Be Loving\nPhoto courtesy of Lucky's Market / Facebook.\nIf you're in one of the 12 locations they're coming to by year's end, lucky you.\nImagine taking a leisurely stroll down a produce aisle chock full of organically grown, locally sourced options, all at low, affordable prices. And when you're not leafing through fresh greens and herbs, you're sipping a $3 glass of Pinot Grigio you picked up at the store's entrance. Sounds like a dream, right?\nAt Lucky's Market, a regional grocery chain (that is a big departure from what you'd expect of a health-focused store), it's reality. And since the Boulder, Colorado-based company announced plans for a large expansion by the end of the year, it could very soon be your reality, too.\nCurrently, the supermarket has just under 30 locations in 11 different states. But the chain has experienced lots of grassroots buzz among shoppers due to their store models and unique policies.\nThe hype is only going to get more intense, as a Lucky's representative shared with Supermarket News that it has signed more than 20 new leases for locations from Montana to Florida.\nThe biggest expansion will be in Florida, with 16 new stores. New stores will also pop up in Cleveland, Ohio; Missoula, Montana; and Fort Collins, Colorado. You can also find Lucky's Markets in Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, and Wyoming.\nRELATED: Supermarkets Share the Best Customer Policies That You Might Not Know About\nSipping and Strolling into the week like @yanzp from our Lucky's Market Tallahassee store.\nPosted by Lucky's Market on Monday, May 8, 2017\nI first encountered Lucky's Market in 2015 in Gainesville, Florida. I was a sophomore in college, and I couldn't ignore the hubbub on campus when someone told me about a supermarket that sold $2 beer and $3 wine at the door, equipping all of their shopping carts with cup holders.\nPhoto courtesy of Lucky's Supermarket / Facebook.\nBut when I arrived, I discovered that Lucky's Market is much more than a gimmick\u2014the sheer diversity of what you could find in this supermarket would impress any shopper.\nThere's a fresh selection of made-from-scratch breads at their in-house bakery; a full butcher's counter with what the store calls \"never ever\" meats, meaning the product has never touched antibiotics or artificial hormones (plus, they have in-house smoked bacon and sausage!).\nGotta love #luckysmarket\nA post shared by miguel j rodriguez (@miguelo70) on Apr 1, 2018 at 9:29am PDT\nThere are signs touting just how far away all of their local produce was grown, which is a clear win for eco-minded shoppers. And there's even an \"apothecary\" with better-for-you beauty and home products you wouldn't find anywhere else.\nRELATED: 5 Kitchen Brands With the Greatest Lifetime Warranties\nAnd the best part is the ready-to-eat offerings from Lucky's. An entire in-house pizzeria is located within the Lucky's I often visited, as well as a made-to-order sushi bar, hot-and-ready ramen bars, a juicing counter stocked with local fruit, and a cheese offering that will blow your socks off (it's referred to as the \"cheese island\" in store).\nEvery trip I took to Lucky's was magical, and I was surprised to later learn that such a special concept was actually a chain. And given that the parent company behind Kroger supermarkets just invested an undisclosed amount to help Lucky's Market expand into the national scene, I'm guessing that it won't be long before you're just as obsessed as I am.",

I stopped the car beside it; it didn\u2019t move. Blind, miserable and lethargic, it was dying. There are few more pitiful sights in the countryside, and, out of pity, I killed it. Myxomatosis has been the constant curse of the rabbit since it was introduced to the UK in 1953. Fleas and mosquitoes spread the disease, and the recent wet and humid conditions have been perfect for them. It hangs like death over the rabbit population and local outbreaks are commonplace, but, over time, it\u2019s become clear that the animals have built up some immunity to the disease.\nCertainly, the total number of rabbits is now at its highest since the 1950s, when it is estimated that as many as 100 million perished from the disease. But this summer, as anyone driving around the countryside will have noticed, there has been a bigger outbreak than for many years. There is no doubt that the rabbit is a terrible pest to gardeners and farmers, and numbers do need to be controlled, but it is a sickening thought that the disease is so cruel. If you find a rabbit suffering, you should be kind and put it out of its misery.",

        "raw_content": "What is WeTrust and ROSCAs?\nBanking institutions are still inaccessible to a large portion of the world\u2019s people, an issue affecting those in both developing countries and developed countries. Today, an estimated 2 to 3 billion adults throughout the world have little or no access to the services provided by traditional financial institutions.\nGiven the human knack for ingenuity, people without access to traditional platforms often look for an alternative.\nIn order to fight financial exclusion, several organizations have taken measures to provide financial services like loans and savings to the unbanked and under-banked populations of the world. Microfinance institutions, for example, have provided financial services to many people in developing countries, many of them workers in the gray economy. These organizations fund income-producing activities and support small businesses. Unlike traditional banks, they rely on relationship-based banking and group-based models to provide loans, often times allowing the borrower to become self-sufficient.\nWhile some microfinance institutions offer loans from government or nonprofit programs geared to helping disadvantaged economic communities, other microfinance organizations are for-profit companies. These will, of course, act in their best interest financially. For-profit microfinance organizations charge interest rates on their loans, and due to the perceived risk of microfinance recipients, these rates are often larger than those charged by traditional banks.\nMany times, the loans offered by these organizations are used not for investment, but to buy basic goods like food and medicine. Although this relieves poverty, it has a long run negative effect of putting many people into debt.\nOne of the most popular alternatives to microfinance is known as reciprocal aid. In these organizations, both the lenders and receivers of the financial services are also the ones that provide them, acting as shareholders. This ensures the members of the organization must work towards a direction that helps both the organization and themselves.\nWhat is ROSCA\nROSCA stands for Rotating Savings and Credit Association, and is a form of reciprocal aid. It\u2019s a mutual lending platform that allows the user to both save and borrow funds, depending on the situation. A ROSCA acts as a simultaneous peer-to-peer banking and peer-to-peer lending service, and is most commonly used in developing countries where financial exclusion is prevalent.\nIndividuals that usually have a certain degree of trust due to communal bonds like family ties, culture, language, or religious affiliation will come together and form a ROSCA. Meetings are scheduled and in each meeting, the members of the ROSCA will pool together funds, with each member contributing an equal pre-determined amount. One of the individuals (usually the one with the most urgent need for funds) will then take the whole sum. In the following meetings, the process is repeated with a different member receiving the funds, until every member of the ROSCA has had a chance to take the whole pool.\nThis system can be employed to reward savers by charging a small fee to the ones that take the pot first and giving the fee to the ones that use it last. Not only do ROSCAS promote saving, they also allow individuals to access larger amounts of capital in order to put money to productive use. For example, the funds from a ROSCA payout can be used to start a business or to buy farming supplies, for example.\nIn ROSCAs, the social element comes into play. Members of ROSCAs are more motivated to save due to the group nature of the organization. Members are also motivated to pay back their loans, based on the close relationship they have with the other ROSCA members. Therefore, trust between members is a crucial element of a successful ROSCA.\nHowever, these organizations have had their share of problems, mostly owing to their closed nature and geographically bounded limitations.\nWhat is WeTrust\nWeTrust is a decentralized financial services platform created to provide an intuitive and global alternative to the traditional financial services provided by banking institutions. WeTrust provides financial services through reciprocal aid models like ROSCA, allowing individuals to be both lenders and borrowers.\nWeTrust was created in order to provide a global and transparent solution for reciprocal aid systems, ensuring that these can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection. Since ROSCAs only exist in certain limited locations and require a trust bond, many people don\u2019t have access to them. WeTrust plans to change this with their first product, the ROSCA dApp platform. The platform not only ensures that ROSCAs are global, it also provides a more efficient way of creating and joining them.\nThe WeTrust ROSCA Dapp is a credit and savings platform which allows users to frictionlessly lend and borrow from each other at self-determined interest rates. WeTrust is being built to create a competitive alternative asset class for savers, to promote group savings as a way to reach individual saving goals, and to create an inexpensive path for the two billion unbanked to obtain and track their savings and credit.\nHow does WeTrust ROSCA dapp work?\nUpon downloading the WeTrust ROSCA app, users will be able to create an account, after which they can join an existing ROSCA or create their own ROSCA. Once the ROSCA has the required number of members, users will pool together their money at regular intervals, and the money will then be available to one member of the ROSCA.\nTo determine who receives the funds from the ROSCA, users will make bids on the pot based on the urgency of their need for capital. The bidder that has the lowest offer will take the pot. For example, if the pot is $40 and the lowest bid is $35, the remaining $5 will be split evenly by the remaining members.\nWhen the ROSCA ends, the members that have saved and taken the pot last are rewarded with the leftovers from the earlier bids. Members who were the first to take the pot, although they have to return a higher amount than what they borrowed, still had access to a large pool of capital which they did not have before and in a timelier fashion than the other ROSCA members.\nTo learn more about WeTrust and its ROSCA platform, read the whitepaper and join the official Slack channel.\nHow to earn Bitcoin through p2p lending\nValorem: A value-based multi-layered marketplace",

        "raw_content": "Obama gives White House solar panels (another) moment in the sun\nWhite House solar panels are back at the First Family's residence, the Obama administration announced Friday. The White House solar panels cap off the Obama administration's week of energy and climate change initiatives, aimed at raising public awareness of the threats posed by carbon emissions.\nHarvey Georges/AP/File\nPresident Carter speaks against a backdrop of solar panels at the White House in 1979. On Friday, President Obama announced solar panels would again top the White House.\nSolar panels have returned to the White House roof, the Obama Administration announced Friday, capping off a week of energy and climate change initiatives.\nAnother initiative he announced Friday: More than 300 private and public organizations have also committed to boosting solar power and efficiency upgrades, according to the White House, joining in the Obama administration\u2019s efforts to cut carbon emissions and energy waste.\nHaving begun the week with a sobering assessment of climate change\u2019s impact, the White House finished the week with proposed solutions to the challenge of rising greenhouse gas emissions. It is part of an effort to win public support on climate issues that will likely factor into this year\u2019s midterm elections.\n\"One of the biggest factors in bringing back jobs in America has been our commitment to American energy over the past five years,\" President Obama said at a Walmart in Mountain View, Calif., that has adopted clean-energy and energy-efficiency improvements. \"We\u2019re producing more traditional energy, but we\u2019re also becoming leaders in the energy sources of the future.\"\n\"Every four minutes another American business or home goes solar and every panel is pounded in by a worker whose job cannot be shipped overseas,\" Mr. Obama added.\nUS climate change report: What lies ahead for your region?\nFriday was not the first time solar panels have appeared on the White House roof. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter installed 32 solar panels for heating water at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but they were quietly removed by the Reagan administration during a roof resurfacing in 1986.\nPresident George W. Bush was the first to install a solar-electric system on White House grounds, adding 9 kilowatts of photovoltaic panels to a maintenance building. In 2010, the Obama administration announced it would be returning solar power to the White House roof, which it completed Friday.\nThe new, American-made panels amount to 6.3 kilowatts of solar generation as part of a broader White House retrofit that includes updated building controls and energy-saving, variable-speed fans. The average size of a residential solar photovoltaic system in the US is 5 kilowatts, according to the trade group Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).\n\u201cThe project, which helps demonstrate that historic buildings can incorporate solar energy and energy efficiency upgrades, is estimated to pay for itself in energy savings over the next eight years,\u201d White House spokesman Matt Lehrich wrote in an e-mailed statement. The White House declined to offer specifics on the building\u2019s total energy consumption.\nThe administration also issued two new efficiency rules Friday for electric motors and walk-in freezers and coolers, like those used at supermarkets. The standards are expected to cut carbon emissions by about 158 million metric tons and save consumers over $26 billion through 2030, according to the White House.\nGoogle, Ikea, Apple, and a broad range of other private companies also announced solar and efficiency measures that together represent more than 850 megawatts of solar power deployed \u2013 enough to power nearly 130,000 homes. Walmart pledged to double the number of on-site solar energy projects at its US stores, Sam\u2019s Clubs, and distribution centers by 2020.\n\u201cWe know from experience that investing in energy innovation allows us to save money, reduce carbon pollution, and create jobs,\u201d Bill Simon, president and CEO of Walmart U.S., said in a statement Friday. \u201cEvery day, millions of Americans depend on us to watch every penny so that we can provide the best prices on products they love. Our customers can feel good that we\u2019re watching out for both their wallets and their children\u2019s future.\u201d\nSolar remains a tiny fraction of the nation\u2019s overall energy mix, but Friday\u2019s announcements underscore remarkable growth in the sector, and the potential for future technological development.\nThe precipitous drop in the cost of solar power has helped boost the small but rapidly growing US solar industry. The average price of a solar panel has declined by 60 percent since the beginning of 2011, according to SEIA. New solar photovoltaic installations installed grew 41 percent last year over 2012 installation levels, and accounted for 29 percent of all new electricity generation capacity added in 2013.\n\"I am very bullish on the future of solar energy as a key part of our clean energy future,\" US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said in a video about the White House solar panels.\nWith US-made panels, White House goes solar ... again",

CSUCI began using the software, which was developed by the University of California, on Oct. 1, 2018.\nAssessment: this tool allows Principal Investigators (PIs) to conduct hazard assessments relevant to their research environment and determines the proper Personal Protective Equipment that should be used to ensure safety in the lab.\nInspect: a flexible, customizable tool that manages the scheduling, completion and long-term tracking of safety inspections. It is available for phones, tables and desktops.\nChemicals: a chemical inventory management tool that uses a barcoding system to quickly add chemicals to an inventory. It includes a library of chemicals that are referenced to populate chemical details, like hazards and first aid information. Chemicals is available in a native phone application, as well as for tablet or desktop.\n\u201cThese software tools enable a culture of safety at our University by helping students, faculty and staff to safely focus on pursuing their passions,\u201d said Peer Gerber, CSUCI\u2019s Director of Environmental Health & Safety. \u201cAdditionally, since these tools are fully integrated, system administrators will be able to generate analytical reports to identify and correct laboratory safety deficiencies.\u201d\nRisk and Safety Solutions developed Assessment, Inspect and Chemicals as part of its suite of risk management and safety tools. The software has been used extensively throughout UC\u2019s 10 campuses and five medical centers.\nTraining materials on how to use the tools, including written tutorials and how-to videos are available at CSUCI\u2019s EH&S website.\nFor additional information contact Peer Gerber, Director of Environmental Health & Safety at peer.gerber@csuci.edu or 805-437-8847.",

Ultimately, consumer prices would rise, too, making Gillette and Venus razors less affordable.\nThankfully, Procter & Gamble has dodged that bullet for now. The company was recently granted an exemption to the costly 25 percent tax on imported steel.\nEmployees of steel-using industries, including some of the 92,000 P&G employees, could be considered front-line troops of the trade war, a war unfortunately manifested primarily (and surprisingly, to many) in conflict between American companies and the American government.\nLike Procter & Gamble, many other American companies are fighting the American government for exemptions from its harmful protectionist policies.\nEconomic policy founded in protectionist principles, while well-intentioned for some sectors, has the power to stifle American progress in other parts of the economy.\nDynamic economic growth depends not only on preserving a competitive, transparent business climate, but also on ensuring the open markets on which so much of America\u2019s prosperity has been built.\nTax cuts and deregulation have been generating strong economic growth of more than 3 percent in recent quarters.\nThe U.S. economy can grow even more if tariffs are lowered and protectionist policies get dismantled.",

        "raw_content": "Amylase: 5 Health Benefits\nAmylase, protease and lipase are the three most vital digestive enzymes in the body. The body uses these enzymes to properly digest and break down food. Amylase in particular is responsible for helping the body process carbohydrates into simple sugars. Amylase health benefits include the ability to improve digestion, fight diabetes, provide the body with energy and monitor stress levels. Research has shown that amylase may also work as an alternative cancer treatment. As it turns out, this digestive enzyme has some pretty impressive health benefits. You can find amylase in raw fruits or veggies, royal jelly, seeds, nuts and legumes.\nAmylase Health Benefits\nAmylase health benefits include the ability to improve digestion. By processing starches in your diet, amylase aids in the digestive process. It helps the body absorb nutrients form the food you eat while breaking down carbohydrates. Amylase helps keep digestive problems at bay while ensuring that your body absorbs the nutrients from the food you eat. (1)\n2. Provides the Body With Energy\nAmylase health benefits include the ability to provide the body with a natural source of energy. It helps break down starch so the body can use it as fuel. Amylase plays an important role in breaking down high-starch foods like bread, grains, cereal, rice, pasta, beans, potatoes and corn. Without amylase, the body wouldn\u2019t be able to convert these carbohydrates into energy.\nAmylase health benefits include the ability to fight diabetes. According to a 2013 study published in the Journal of Clinical & Diagnostic Research, type 2 diabetes patients were found to have high blood sugar levels that correlated with low serum amylase levels. The study suggests that amylase plays an important role in maintaining the health of the pancreas. Low amylase levels have been linked to an increased risk of diabetes as well as metabolic syndrome. Amylase health benefits include the ability to reverse diabetes symptoms by reducing high blood sugar levels. (2)\n4. May Work as an Alternative Cancer Treatment\nResearch suggests that amylase health benefits may include the ability to work as an alternative cancer treatment. Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez developed a holistic approach to cancer that combines nutritional supplements, coffee enemas, prescribed diets and pancreatic enzymes. His method focuses on detoxifying the body, correcting imbalances in the nervous system and supporting the natural immune system process. Studies have shown that pancreatic enzymes have anti-cancer effects on the body, suggesting that amylase health benefits may include the ability to protect the body from cancer. (3)\n5. Can Help Monitor Stress Levels\nAmylase health benefits include the ability to monitor stress levels. Chronic stress can take a dangerous toll on the body, leading to many health problems. Researchers measured salivary alpha-amylase and salivary cortisol levels to determine if the two were linked. The found that amylase is sensitive to psychosocial stress. The results suggest that the enzyme may be helpful in measuring stress levels in humans, and detecting stress-reactive changes in the body.\nPrevious Article5 Alpha Lipoic Acid Health Benefits\nNext ArticleHay Fever: Seasonal Allergy Symptoms & Natural Treatments\n9 Ancient Chinese Herbs That Help To Balance Hormones",

        "raw_content": "Home Governance Governance ISS: Does regime security come ahead of real reform in Gabon?\nAli Bongo.\nSince Gabon\u2019s coup attempt on 7 January, President Ali Bongo Ondimba has been making changes to restore confidence in his government. Bongo, who was recovering from a stroke in Morocco at the time of the attempted coup, named a new cabinet under Prime Minister Julien Nkoghe Bekale.\nHe returned to Libreville to sit through the swearing-in ceremony for the new cabinet on 15 January, and then reshuffled the cabinet again on 30 January \u2013 this time in five ministerial departments.\nGovernment spokesperson Nanette Longa said this new reshuffle was to \u2018deepen the coherence of ministerial portfolios\u2019. Youth activists were then intimidated and arrested under suspicion of being connected with the coup plotters. These moves showed the regime would brook no dissent.\nThe president\u2019s protracted absence is unsettling both the population and the governing elite\nGabon will however need to do more to assuage spiralling sociopolitical discontent in the country. The president\u2019s protracted absence is increasingly unsettling both the population and the governing elite.\nThe failed coup showed the depth of dissatisfaction with government, which appears to have reached the ranks of Gabon\u2019s elite republican guard. Since a similar coup attempt was reversed by French paratroopers in 1964, Gabon\u2019s armed forces have largely stayed out of politics, despite securing the Bongo family\u2019s hold on power. The Bongos have been in charge since 1967.\nPolitical stability in Gabon has been rattled by ongoing waves of sociopolitical unrest since 2015. This has largely taken the form of public protests motivated by labour syndicates, political parties and student movements.\nTwo events in the country\u2019s recent past crystallised factions in the political class and fanned the flames of discontent. These are the battle for presidential succession following Omar Bongo\u2019s death in 2009, and the August 2016 presidential election that pitted Bongo\u2019s son against his former foreign minister, Jean Ping.\nThe election cemented the divide between the traditionalist and the modernist factions of the ruling Gabonese Democratic Party. After succeeding his father, Bongo strengthened his control of the ruling party by marginalising and then ostracising the modernists who largely opposed dynastic succession and repression. Many were forced to either join the established opposition or form new political parties.\nIn a crowded field of 10 candidates, the interior minister declared Bongo the winner, with a little over 5 000 votes more than Ping, leader of the Union of Forces for Change opposition. The other eight candidates polled just over 7 000 votes in total. State institutions such as the Constitutional Court, the National Assembly and the Permanent National Electoral Commission, stacked in favour of the incumbent, ensured his contested re-election.\nElection observers highlighted irregularities including the highly questionable vote count in Bongo\u2019s home Haut-Ogoou\u00e9 Province, which registered a 99.9% turnout with 95.9% voting in favour of his re-election.\nGabon\u2019s military expenses in 2017, at US$288 million, were the highest ever recorded\nNine candidates running against Bongo provided him with an apparent justification for victory by splitting the vote among his many rivals, in a one-round winner-takes-all election system. This despite a usually fractious opposition having coalesced around Ping, aware of the difficulty of unseating a president who succeeded his father to prolong 49 years of dynastic rule.\nThe post-electoral crisis led to a need for consensus in governing. However Bongo preferred selective consensus building by drawing from the fringes of the opposition, to show evidence of outreach. Pierre-Claver Maganga Moussavou, the candidate who placed fifth, was appointed vice-president.\nGabon\u2019s worrisome sociopolitical backdrop has been compounded by a flagging petro-dependent economy. Since the 2016 elections, Gabon\u2019s economic outlook hasn\u2019t improved much. The government has requested and received US$395.9 million from the International Monetary Fund over the past two years to ensure its macro-economic stability.\nBut fiscal stabilisation doesn\u2019t necessarily address the socioeconomic and political challenges that resurface during protests. These include lack of access to jobs, diminishing social mobility and the deteriorating quality of health and education services.\nMeanwhile Gabon\u2019s military expenses in 2017, at US$288 million, were the highest ever recorded. This as the country\u2019s debt-to-GDP ratio rose to its highest in 10 years, at 66.5%. Gabon\u2019s government chooses funding for security \u2013 from both real and imagined threats \u2013 over investment in real political and socioeconomic reforms, which could help address discontent.\nThe elephant in the room \u2013 a constitution without presidential term limits \u2013 remains unaddressed\nTo mend fences after the 2016 post-electoral crisis, Bongo convened national political talks \u2013 the Angondj\u00e9 dialogue \u2013 from March to May 2017. The talks delivered only cosmetic changes to the four main agenda items \u2013 institutional reform and consolidation of the rule of law, electoral reform, political modernisation, and national cohesion and peace consolidation. Some opposition parties participated, but Ping\u2019s bloc boycotted the process, which was largely viewed as an attempt to legitimate a president elected in a deeply flawed process.\nThe dialogue\u2019s agenda also failed to address the elephant in the room \u2013 a constitution without presidential term limits. Ping\u2019s refusal to recognise Bongo\u2019s electoral victory almost three years since the last election and four years to the next one, sustains post-electoral discontent.\nTo avoid future electoral crises, institutional roadblocks must be removed. Since the attempted coup, government\u2019s reaction to public protest has been security-based, intending to protect the regime rather than address the causes of discontent. This threatens stability and doesn\u2019t bring any relief to the problems brought on by Gabon\u2019s economic stagnation.\nGabon needs broad-based dialogue that delivers legitimate, accountable, responsive and depersonalised governance. Who will make the call? With its president in long-term recovery, the power vacuum only lengthens the shadow of uncertainty.\nWritten by Fonteh Akum, Senior Researcher, ISS Dakar\nISS Africa\nISS: Will Sudan\u2019s latest protests bring down Bashir?\nGreeks strike over government\u2019s \u201cstarvation\u201d budget\nSouth Africa\u2019s Malema says ANC brass wants him out",

Check out this story on detroitnews.com: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/michigan-state-university/2018/11/07/against-ohio-state-msu-spartans-embarks-revenge-tour-its-own/1918420002/\nMatt Charboneau, The Detroit News Published 1:13 p.m. ET Nov. 7, 2018 | Updated 8:22 p.m. ET Nov. 7, 2018\nOhio State running back Mike Weber runs 82 yards for a touchdown in last year's win over Michigan State.(Photo11: David Guralnick, Detroit News)\nEast Lansing \u2014 Bring up last season\u2019s trip to Ohio State, and the mood quickly sours around Michigan State\u2019s football facilities this week.\nFor a team that has had as much success as any in the Big Ten against the Urban Meyer-led Buckeyes, last year\u2019s matchup was anything but for the Spartans. Before most could settle into their seats at Ohio Stadium, the Buckeyes already were beginning their onslaught as Mike Weber burst through for a 47-yard touchdown on Ohio State\u2019s opening drive.\nBy the time things were all said and done, Weber, the former Detroit prep star, had added an 82-yard gallop and Ohio State finished with 335 yards rushing to go with 524 total yards as Ohio State cruised to a 48-3 victory. The final stat sheet was as one-sided as it\u2019s ever been under Mark Dantonio as Weber and JK Dobbins each ran for more than 100 yards and Michigan State managed just 195 yards and was sacked six times.\nIt was total domination.\n\u201cThat\u2019s one I want to forget,\u201d linebacker Joe Bachie said. \u201cProbably the worst loss I ever had.\u201d\nMSU's Joe Bachie on facing Ohio State The Detroit News\nIt\u2019s hard to find a game in recent years that went as bad, as quickly, as last year\u2019s game at Ohio State did for Michigan State. Even the 33-point loss at Penn State in 2016 was a game at halftime.\nAgainst the Buckeyes, that was never the case.\n\u201cIt\u2019s always a game in the fourth quarter,\u201d senior linebacker Andrew Dowell said. \u201cIt\u2019s always a football game. That wasn\u2019t even a football game. We couldn\u2019t even just do what we do.\u201d\nWhat Michigan State normally does is stop the run and get after the quarterback, making life miserable for its opponents. It\u2019s done so in the past against Ohio State, beating the Buckeyes in 2013 and 2015 while pushing them to the limit in one-point losses in 2012 and 2016. Add in the shootout in 2014 and Michigan State-Ohio State has usually meant good football.\nMore: Miffed Mark Dantonio makes clear Brian Lewerke is starter\nMore: Once seemingly pro-bound, MSU's LJ Scott eyes possible redshirt\nGetting back to that point is the next step for Michigan State (6-3, 4-2 Big Ten) as it gets set to host No. 10 Ohio State at noon Saturday. The Spartans enter the game as the No. 1 rushing defense in the nation and are 16th in the country in scoring defense, allowing 19 points a game.\nOn the flip side, Ohio State (8-1, 5-1) is one of the top scoring offenses in the country at 42.2 points a game while piling up 547.2 yards a game. Trying to stop that and keep turning toward a top bowl game would be motivation enough most weeks. But the Spartans admit this one is a bit different.\n\u201cEspecially after last year and how that went,\u201d junior quarterback Brian Lewerke said. \u201cEspecially the way we lost. It\u2019s not just losing but in the fashion we did. It was a blowout. Coach (Ken) Mannie harped on that yesterday just how it was kind of embarrassing for us, being in the position we were in with the chance to go to the Big Ten Championship and see it all fall apart like that.\n\"I definitely see more motivation from the other guys.\u201d\nMSU QB Brian Lewerke on facing Ohio State The Detroit News\nA win this season would keep No. 18 Michigan State\u2019s dimming hopes in the Big Ten East alive, but almost as importantly, it would help erase the feeling the Spartans had last season when they left Columbus. The Spartans didn\u2019t let it linger and finished the season with 10 wins, but it was Ohio State that ended up going to Indianapolis and winning the Big Ten title.\nAnd along the way, they wiped out the Spartans.\nMichigan State is focused on righting that wrong this week.\n\u201cI think every game is sort of a new season,\u201d Dantonio said. \u201cAnd you can look at every single game and build on it from the past and look to the future. I expect our players to get ready every single game, regardless of who we play. It's too difficult in this league not to be prepared mentally and emotionally. You know, how high can you get?\nMore: Ex-Spartan Robertson pleads guilty to sexual assault, faces three years in prison\n\u201cI want our guys at peak performance at game time, whatever that is. Their peak performance, whoever that is, whether it's quarterback, defensive back, backup, whatever it is, I want them to be at their peak performance.\u201d\nThe Spartans believe the last couple of weeks have shown they are reaching their peak. They knocked off red-hot Purdue two weeks ago and allowed Maryland to gain only 100 total yards last week.\nStill, they know, lingering below the surface, is the beating they took last season. They\u2019re ready to put that in the past.\n\u201cI think that it\u2019s a challenge,\u201d senior safety Khari Willis said. \u201cThat\u2019s we did. We have to own it. I feel like we did that, and we move forward from it. Same guys but a different team. I feel like we\u2019re playing pretty good ball right now and we just want to continue to peak in November and what better challenge than Ohio State?\u201d\nRecords: Michigan State 6-3, 4-2 Big Ten; Ohio State 8-1, 5-1",

        "title": "Doing business in Iraq \u2013 Director magazine",
        "raw_content": "Thinking about doing business in Iraq? Law firm Eversheds has grown rapidly through mergers and global expansion, with its most recent overseas office opening in Erbil, Iraq. Director asked why the country can be an attractive market for British businesses\nEversheds was established in 1988 through the merger of four smaller legal practices based in Manchester, Sheffield, Norwich and Birmingham. In the quarter of a century that has followed, the business has grown vastly through a strategy of mergers and international expansion. Now headquartered in London, the company posted revenues of \u00a3376m in the year to 2013 and employs 4,500 people through 50 offices across the UK, continental Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.\nThe firm\u2019s newest office, opened last November, is in Erbil \u2013 capital of the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. It is the company\u2019s second office in the country, adding to the one it has operated in Baghdad since merging with Middle Eastern legal consortium KSLG in 2011. Tawfiq Tabbaa, now Eversheds\u2019 managing partner for Iraq after joining as part of the merger, told Director about the strategy:\n\u201cPrior to the merger, Eversheds had two offices in the Middle East \u2013 one in Qatar and one in Abu Dhabi, that were doing quite well. But there was a feeling that market penetration needed to be stronger,\u201d he says. \u201cAt KSLG we already had offices in Amman, Baghdad, Dubai and Riyadh. The footprint was important, but so were the resources \u2013 our people are mostly lawyers from each respective region who have very strong local connections and knowledge. It fits the Eversheds model very well, so that\u2019s how the merger came about.\u201d\nThe company currently has five lawyers in its Baghdad office, and two in the newest practice in Erbil \u2013 all of whom are Iraqi. \u201cWe plan to grow as demand for our services grows,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019re not interested in bringing in ex-pats and giving advice that\u2019s very much about desk research \u2013 we want to be staffed by locals who know the market and are very much in tune with how it behaves.\u201d\nIraq\u2019s lively economy\nOn the potential of Iraq\u2019s economy, Tabbaa says: \u201cObviously the security situation has been very challenging, and things have deteriorated since the withdrawal of the American forces [in 2011]. But putting all of this aside, and the misery it causes, the Iraqi economy today is vibrant \u2013 World Bank figures put Iraqi growth at 10 to 12 per cent, which in today\u2019s world is seen in very few economies.\n\u201cNot a day passes without me reading an article in the news about a new contract being signed up here or someone saying how important Iraq is to their business\u2026 PwC recently announced that their revenue in Iraq grew 35 per cent year on year and that it\u2019s one of the very few markets where they feel growth can run into double-digit figures for a while to come.\u201d\nWhile Tabbaa points out that 95 per cent of Iraq\u2019s GDP is still made up from oil exports \u2013 the industry so central to impassioned divided opinions on the most recent war in the country \u2013 he says there are many other sectors and industries that offer huge potential for overseas companies: \u201cThe country\u2019s infrastructure is one of the biggest areas \u2013 the construction of hospitals, schools, waste water projects, telco, you name it,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd, of course, banking and finance \u2013 Standard Chartered opened their first bank here last November [in Baghdad], which is an interesting sign of what they think of the market.\u201d\nSo as a business that has itself set up in Iraq, and that helps others to start up there, what would Eversheds advise UK businesses looking to launch operations in the country? \u201cOn paper, the laws of Iraq are quite progressive,\u201d says Tabbaa. \u201cBut in reality the bureaucracy of setting up can still be a lengthy process. Remember, pre-2003 Iraq was still very much a socialist economy driven by the state with few foreign companies participating in anything. Suddenly it opened \u2013 so in a way I feel sorry for the government machine. It will take time to have a seamless and more streamlined system of dealing with investments in Iraq.\u201d\nTabbaa advises companies interested in entering the country to plan well ahead and think of Iraq as a long-term venture: \u201cThere are certainly complications over the visa situation for getting your people in, and inconsistencies when it comes to taxation, along with issues on getting certain types of equipment into Iraq and currency considerations like restrictions on the exchange rate of the dollar. So, first, draw up a detailed road map so expectations are in place from day one and you can avoid surprises and frustration.\u201d\nAnd how should companies approach the security situation? \u201cWe haven\u2019t seen any major incident in the past few years against a foreign company, workers or security companies \u2013 it\u2019s not like anyone is targeting foreigners, so it would really be about being in the wrong place at the wrong time,\u201d he says.\n\u201cWhat you need to do is all preventative, and there are very good security firms out there now that offer a full solution for your business \u2013 from picking you up at the airport to providing protection around your office, to having your logistics working through. But, of course, it\u2019s a big cost of doing business here.\u201d\nTabbaa says the cities where Eversheds operates are far from what people might imagine: \u201cFrom what people see on the TV, they might not know that Baghdad is an extremely vibrant city with people shopping and going to restaurants, even late at night,\u201d he says.\n\u201cAnd Erbil and the north are extremely safe \u2013 it\u2019s like being anywhere else in the world. There are many recreational activities, a beautiful park and Kurdistan itself is famous for its natural sights, waterfalls and mountains\u2026 And there are a lot of airlines now coming into both cities, including Austrian Airlines, Etihad, Lufthansa, Royal Jordanian and Turkish Airlines [flying from various UK airports with a stop en route].\u201d\nSo, once you\u2019re set up there, what is business life in Iraq like? \u201cDoing business in Iraq is not very different to elsewhere in the Middle East,\u201d he says. \u201cThere are customs \u2013 when you meet someone on business it\u2019s important to start by having a small-talk conversation about other things first, and a lot of business deals happen over tea in Iraq \u2013 that\u2019s important. Also, many businesses here are still small and family-owned, which can mean they\u2019re disorganised and put emphasis on their word rather than written contracts \u2013 that can be challenging if they\u2019re acting as an agent, partner or consultant for you. But on the other side they are also very passionate and know their business inside out.\u201d\nTabbaa says the time is right for more UK businesses to take a closer look at Iraq, pointing to the recent trade mission \u2013 which saw a group of British business leaders, led by UKTI and the Iraq Britain Business Council, visit Baghdad and Erbil \u2013 as an indication of the growing interest. \u201cI would say there\u2019s been more Chinese and Korean companies who\u2019ve had more of an appetite to invest than UK companies. Outside the sphere of oil and gas, certainly, there\u2019s much more British companies of all sizes can do in Iraq.\u201d\nTags: ExpertInternationalIraq\nNoble M600 test drive review\nNails Inc founder Thea Green\nThea Green turned an idea to launch a nail bar chain into a \u00a322m market leader.

        "raw_content": "Degenerative disc disease is a condition that most of us \u2013 if we are fortunate enough to live a long life \u2013 will develop. Degenerative disc disease, which is also called spondylosis, is a general term used to describe changes that can occur along any area of the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar). It is most common in the lumbar area. Labeling the condition as a \u201cdisease\u201d may be unfortunate, since it is a age-related condition in which the discs \u201cdegenerate,\u201d or lose their flexibility and ability to cushion the spine.\nMany Texans and Americans apply and qualify for social security disability benefits based upon degenerative disc disease. The mere fact, however, that one has been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease does not mean that social security disability benefits will be awarded. Many with degenerative disc disease experience no symptoms or limitations.\nThe key determinate of whether degenerative disc disease will provide the basis for social security disability benefits is the extent of functional limitations that the condition causes. how does the degernative disc disease affect the ability to stand? to walk? to lift and carry? to sit?\nAs with all social security disability cases, age and vocational background play an important role. Persons under 50 years of age must in general prove inability to do any work, including so-called \u2018sedentary\u201d work. Persons over 50 years of age can be successful in a social security disability claim if the functional impairments of their degenerative disc disease keep them from doing the type of work they have done in the prior 15 years and they have no skills that can be used in different, less strenous work.\nProving a Texas social security disability claim based upon degenerative disc disease requires an experienced social security disability lawyer. I have been handling only social security disability claims in Dallas Texas since 1991.",

        "raw_content": "DJ Equipment Stolen\nDJ Stripped Bare at Pole Dance Competition\nWhen Pete Jensen first added pole dancing to his list of DJ services, he had low expectations. But when the trend took off and pole dancing became a major party event, he was thrilled. He loved the acrobatic energy and strong, daring dance moves. In his mind, it didn\u2019t get much better than raising the heartbeats of beautiful women when they were twisting, turning and sliding down a giant pole.\nPete worked hard to build his reputation, mixing music for private pole dance parties, studios and nightclubs on a regular basis. He offered the complete package of DJ entertainment, including audio, video, lighting and sound. Within a short time, the pole dance craze and his winning package catapulted his business into a new tax bracket. But it wasn\u2019t until he was asked to emcee a regional pole dancing competition that he felt his dedication had really paid off.\nThe competition was a big deal. He knew his high-quality equipment was one big reason why he was picked for the event, so he was ready to impress. And he did. The competition went off without a technical hitch and his performance was legendary!\nEquipment stolen\nAfter the competition, Pete rounded up the $50,000 worth of DJ equipment he had carefully set up. It took him several trips to load the van and after each load, he locked the vehicle and set the alarm \u2013 just to be safe. Before his final trip out, he stopped to chat with his client (the event organizer) and spent some time reminiscing about the evening\u2019s high points.\nWhen Pete finally returned to the parking lot, he realized something was amiss. His van was not there. It didn\u2019t take him long to realize the van had been stolen, along with all his music and equipment!\nA bad situation becomes worse\nPete was furious. He immediately called the police and a friend to come pick him up. After Pete gave a statement to the police, his friend drove him home. That\u2019s when things went from bad to worse. The thieves who stole the van found Pete\u2019s home address on the registration form inside the glove box. Knowing he wasn\u2019t at home, they drove to his house, kicked in the front door and continued their crime spree. In addition to ransacking his personal belongings, they took the rest of his sound, lighting and video equipment, along with his entire music investment, including thousands of CDs, KDs, DVDs, LPs and even a collection of vintage vinyl records. In less than an hour, his business had been stripped of $228,000 worth of equipment and media.\nWhen Pete called his insurance agent the next day, the news wasn\u2019t good. Although Pete felt he did everything right, he overlooked the most critical step in maintaining a business. The expensive lesson? No business insurance.\nHe\u2019d been meaning to get a separate insurance quote for his DJ business but never got around to calling his agent. In the back of his mind, he always felt partially protected by his personal insurance. Unfortunately, his personal policies did not provide coverage for his business personal property, including his DJ equipment and media.\nMake the right move to industry-tailored protection\nPete learned firsthand that personal insurance seldom provides coverage for your business. He should have protected his DJ equipment with the DJ/KJ/VJ insurance program exclusively available through R.V. Nuccio and Associates.\nThe DJ/KJ/VJ program provides everything Pete needs \u2013 General Liability, Property/Equipment, Employee Crime insurance \u2013 in one convenient place. Most importantly, it is designed to protect the unique exposures of his business. Endorsed by the American Disc Jockey Association, R.V. Nuccio and Associates is the only online nationwide insurance source for DJs, offering the most customized protection at the most competitive rates.\nUnderwritten by Fireman\u2019s Fund, one of the largest, most respected carriers in the country, the DJ/KJ/VJ policy provides \u201cA\u201d rated commercial property, crime and general liability insurance protection.\nHow a Parking Lot Peril Smashed a DJ\u2019s DreamsEmployee Crime Spree Crushes DJ Company Profit",

        "raw_content": "With whom will you have lunch in 2018?\n\u2018Thank you\u2019 for being a fan and follower in 2017! Wishing you, your team and your family a 2018 full of health, love, joy, adventure and prosperity. When we can be helpful in any way, we\u2019ll be delighted to chat about \u2018possibilities\u2019.\nThroughout this coming year you could have lunch alone, or skip lunch altogether. But imagine what you could learn and accomplish if, just once a week, you chose to have lunch with someone special. Someone who doesn\u2019t normally have access to you. That special person could be any one of the following:\nAn employee or a small group of employees. Do this on a regular basis with employees from various parts of your business, or department. Before the lunch make sure that you know what they do, if there have been challenges with them recently, if they\u2019ve been promoted, or any training they\u2019ve recently had. Then at the lunch, first, \u2018thank\u2019 them for being part of the Team and then, in a kindly way, ask them a few questions like this\u2026\nAssure them that if they have any thoughts about any of these subjects in the future, you\u2019d like to hear them and then tell them how they can best do that. Following the lunch, touch bases with their immediate supervisor or manager to let them know what was discussed and what you learned.\nAn important customer. At least once a month take a customer to lunch. Find out ahead of time how long they\u2019re been a customer, if their purchases from you are up or down, if there have been any \u2018issues\u2019 and how they were resolved. Do your homework. At the lunch, first, \u2018thank\u2019 them for their business then, in a kindly way, ask them a few questions like this\u2026\nA key prospect. At least once a month take a prospective customer to lunch. Thank them for their time and ask them a few questions like this\u2026\nWhat might be a process through which we could earn some of your business?\nNote: If the prospective customer appears to be very loyal to their current supplier(s), ask if you can be their \u201cEmergency go-to back up supplier\u201d, if something goes wrong.\nKey suppliers. At least once a month take a key supplier to lunch. Thank them for their service and then ask them a few questions like this\u2026\nFrom your perspective as a supplier, what will be the most important innovations and biggest market challenges in our industry in the next 3 \u2013 5 years?\nFrom your observations of our business and the marketplace, what can we do to improve and grow our business?\nNote: Pick a lunch spot that will make conversation easy and comfortable. A spot that will honor but not intimidate your lunch guest(s). When your lunch is with employees, it can be close to your place of business. Or, it could just be sharing a great pizza with a small group of employees in a quiet corner in the office.\nBut, when the \u2018special lunch\u2019 is with a customer, prospect or key supplier, it should be close to their place of business to be considerate of their time.\nWhen we listen to our staff, our customers and our suppliers, two things happen. We learn from them and we honor them. So, if you think this makes sense, announce to your team that you\u2019ll be doing this on a regular basis and that it\u2019s not to go behind anyone\u2019s back. It\u2019s simply to stay in touch with the heart and soul of the business, or your department. It\u2019s to stay in touch with \u2018reality\u2019. Designate yourself the \u2018Chief Listening Officer\u2019\u2026but make sure you report what you discover to those who need to know. So, with whom will you have lunch in 2018?\nOne Response to With whom will you have lunch in 2018?\nJack Leitch December 20, 2017 at 10:49 am\tReply\nSome great ideas in this article, Donald.

        "title": "Strategic Pastoral Counseling, 2nd Ed | Dr David G Benner",
        "raw_content": "This is a book I was reluctant to write because I have never been either a pastor or a pastoral counselor. However, I have worked with many clergy from a great variety of denominations and countries over the years, supervising some of them on their counseling and offering consultation to others. It is from this vantage point that I wrote this book, originally published in 1992 and then revised and greatly expanded in the current edition that was released in 2003.\nThe response to this little book has been both surprising and deeply gratifying \u2013 first, that it sold enough that the publisher wanted a revised edition and second, that it continues to sell about as many copies each year as it did in its first and consequently is still in print. What I find encouraging about steady sales of a book is that it suggests that it continues to meet a need, that fact being verified by Nigerian, Philippine and Korean editions subsequently being published. I am humbled and deeply thankful that what I hear from many, in a number of countries around the world, is that this model serves them well in the uniqueness of their culture.\nWith over three hundred different English language books on pastoral care and counseling currently in print, it is quite reasonable to ask why one more is needed. An adequate justification for a new book must be based upon the demonstration of both the importance of the subject matter and the unique contribution that the book will make. Let me briefly state, therefore, why I think this present book is both important and unique.\nSince you are reading this preface, you probably need no further convincing about the importance of pastoral counseling. And yet, this is the place to begin. The importance of pastoral care and counseling is grounded in the centrality of the proclamation of the Word of God in Christian ministry. While this fundamental nature of proclamation would probably be readily acknowledged by most clergy, the common understanding of what this means is too narrow. We tend to equate proclamation with preaching, although, more correctly understood, it involves much more than the mere imparting of information and includes a much broader range of activities than preaching. Proclamation involves not only a communication of an event but also an actualization of this event. Proclamation delivers or makes real what it talks about, and it does this in the present moment and experience of the one who receives the proclamation. Properly understood, therefore, proclamation brings individuals into direct, immediate, and personal contact with God\u2019s Word. While this is the essence of all good preaching, it should also be the foundation of a broad range of other pastoral activities.\nUnderstood in this way, pastoral care and counseling are legitimate parts of Christian ministry because they provide a unique opportunity for God\u2019s Word to be spoken to the specific life experiences of the person seeking pastoral help. Pastoral counseling should never be a matter of simply preaching to someone after hearing his or her story. Rather, it involves relating the Word to specific needs and life experiences and embodying it in what could be described as a living relationship of loving service. It is a form of proclamation that often cannot be performed equally well by any other act of ministry, and for this reason it has had a central and important role in the long tradition of Christian soul care.\nThe importance of pastoral counseling is reinforced by the fact that for most pastors it is not an optional activity but one which the needs and demands of their parishioners regularly necessitate. Research indicates that the average pastor spends between six and eight hours each week in counseling. Very few pastors are able totally to avoid counseling responsibilities, and those that do seem generally to be on the staff of churches where others are providing these services. For the vast majority of pastors, some counseling responsibility is a given that cannot be avoided. The needs of their parishioners demand that they see people in counseling relationships, whether they are adequately prepared to do so or not.\nAnd how well prepared for counseling do most pastors judge themselves to be? In background research for the present volume only 13 percent of the pastors contacted reported that they felt adequately prepared for their counseling responsibilities; 87 percent reported a need for further training in pastoral counseling. Both seminary training and existing books on pastoral counseling leave most pastors unprepared for counseling. This lack of preparation is obviously a major reason so many pastors reported counseling to be frustrating and unfulfilling. They know counseling is an important part of their overall responsibilities and so feel guilty if it is minimized or ignored. But at the same time they also feel inadequate in the face of its demands. Unavoidable, counseling quickly becomes a source of frustration and dissatisfaction.\nOur sample of pastors was asked what sort of help they needed to prepare them better for their work in pastoral counseling. Their answer was that if books on pastoral counseling are to be helpful, they must be much more practical than is usually the case. Books on the theology of pastoral care or the theory of pastoral counseling may look good on the shelf but provide little help when a disturbed parishioner enters the office. To be helpful, books must tell pastors specifically what to do with those they face in counseling sessions. General principles are simply not good enough.\nStrategic Pastoral Counseling is a model of counseling that has been specifically designed in response to this request for practical help for pastors who counsel. The term strategic emphasizes the fact that the approach is highly focused, the pastor being provided with clear goals and strategies for each of the five recommended sessions. This recommended maximum of five sessions fits both what pastors tell us is the actual length of most of their counseling and what they think is the amount of time they can give to counseling and still meet the other demands of their schedules. The focus of Strategic Pastoral Counseling is the parishioner\u2019s spiritual functioning, and the parishioner\u2019s life and present struggles are the context in which these spiritual matters should be discerned. Strategic Pastoral Counseling is also explicitly Christian, and the use of the unique resources of the Christian life is fully encouraged.\nSince as part of their formal training most pastors have limited coursework in pastoral counseling, Strategic Pastoral Counseling does not assume a background in psychology or counseling theory. This book will, therefore, avoid jargon and when technical terms are employed, they will be clearly explained. However, the approach does not fail to recognize that most pastors have some experience in counseling and considerable experience in pastoral care. In fact, general ministry and more specialized pastoral-care experience will be the assumed foundation for what is presented, and Strategic Pastoral Counseling will be positioned as integral to and necessarily consistent with these broader pastoral roles.\nPastoral counseling should be at the very heart of pastoral care and ministry. However, the clinical models of counseling that have often been adopted by pastoral counselors have tended to make counseling into a specialized activity that bears little relationship to other pastoral activities and responsibilities. Strategic Pastoral Counseling seeks to address this problem by presenting an approach to counseling that, while drawing extensively on the general principles and approaches to counseling which have been developed within therapeutic psychology over the past several decades, takes its form and direction from the pastoral role. It is hoped that it will be of value to those pastors who seek to provide counsel that is not simply congruent with their theological commitments and biblical understanding but that is also congruent with their primary role as ministers of the gospel of Christ.\nThirteen years ago when I offered the first edition of this book I did so with quite modest expectations. Pastoral counseling was firmly wed to a traditional long term counseling model. I had long been convinced that pastors could much better fit counseling within the rest of their pastoral ministries by making it brief and focused. However, most pastors that I encouraged to do so responded in some way intended to make it clear that a psychologist could never be expected to really understand the realities of pastoral life and practice and that the sort of problems they encountered simply demanded long term counseling.\nAll that has changed enormously in the past decade. Numerous models of short term pastoral counseling now exist and the argument has largely been won that short term counseling best fits the mix of responsibilities encountered by pastors who counsel.\nChanges in this edition are based on feedback from pastors who have adopted Strategic Pastoral Counseling, many of whom have now utilized it for the past decade. Nigerian, Philippine and Korean editions have provided helpful response from several cross-cultural applications and the comments of a number of professors in seminaries who have been utilizing the book as a text, as well as from students studying it, have also been invaluable.\nCompletely rewritten and revised, this second edition includes more case examples, a new Appendix on ethical consideration, and updated suggestions for additional reading. A new first chapter places pastoral counseling into a much broader context of Christian soul care than was present in the first edition. This includes a discussion of the relationship between pastoral counseling and spiritual direction. Chapter 2 now includes a more extended case for brief pastoral counseling, including reference to some of the other existing models that are available. The place of homework and the spiritual focus in Strategic Pastoral Counseling both get more extended treatment in Chapter 3, as does the use of congregational and other spiritual resources. And Chapter 6 presents a new case illustration of single session Strategic Pastoral Counseling.\nThe primary audience for this edition once again remains pastors who counsel as part of other broader pastoral care responsibilities. They, along with seminarians who are preparing for such a role and non-clerical counselors who offer their counseling from within the church and as an integral part of its ministry, have sat on the corner of my desk as I have worked on this revision. My secondary audience is the pastoral counselor whose counseling is not part of a parish ministry but may be offered in a hospital, inter-denominational or inter-faith community counseling center or private practice. Some of what I present may be basic to those within this group who have completed more advanced counseling or clinical pastoral education training. However, my hope is that it will also serve individuals within this group well by highlighting the spiritual aspects of brief pastoral counseling practice that characterize Strategic Pastoral Counseling.\n\u201cI highly recommend this volume to all pastors of local churches and all practicing or aspiring Christian counselors.\u201d\n~ Moses Lee (Amazon.com)\n\u201cBenner provides an excellent model for counseling with just enough counseling content and technique to communicate how it would work.

Fall-calving herds have the help of the hot, late summer/early fall sunshine to reduce the buildup and spread of the pathogens that cause calf diarrhea. However, whether you have spring or fall-calving cows (or both) there are some key management procedures that will reduce the likelihood of a scours outbreak in your calves. These procedures are meant to decrease the pathogen exposure to the newborn calf. Other measures will be discussed in a later newsletter that are intended to increase the immunity that protects the calf from the pathogens in his environment.",

        "title": "A Visit To Iguazu Falls \u2014 The Duane Storey",
        "raw_content": "A Visit To Iguazu Falls\non February 24, 2011 :: Argentina\nLast weekend I flew up to Puerto Iguazu to check out some of the most impressive waterfalls in the world, Iguazu Falls. Here is a breakdown of my visit to Iguazu Falls in South America.\nFlight From Buenos Aires To Puerto Iguazu\nI booked a flight on LAN airlines from Buenos Aires to Puerto Iguazu. Round trip airfare on the weekend is roughly $380 CAD, but thanks to some points on my credit card I managed to get about $300 off, ultimately costing me only $80 or so.\nUnlike most international flights, domestic flights within Argentina usually leave from the Aeroparque Jorge Newbury, which is a small airport in Northern Palermo. It was a 30 ($7 CAD) peso cab ride from my apartment to the airport, and took about 10 or fifteen minutes.\nChecking in was a breeze, and the line-ups were basically non-existant. Everyone at the counters speaks english, so I didn\u2019t have any issues with communicating (although I did toss in a bit of Spanish).\nI had about 60 minutes to kill, so I went and had myself a little pizza in the food fair. Pizza is pretty much everywhere in Argentina, and while I have enjoyed it, I have to say I\u2019m looking forward to have a fully loaded pizza back in North America when I land.\nThe flight ended up being delayed almost an hour, so I just sat downstairs in the waiting area and casually sipped a bear. We had to then board a little bus to take us to the airplane, which happened to be parked some distance away from the terminal out on the runway. After sitting on the plane for about 30 minutes or so, we taxied out onto the runway and made a sharp left for Puerto Iguazu.\nLanding In Puerto Iguazu\nThe flight was mostly uneventful, other than about 15 minutes of bouncing as we ascended to cruising altitude. There was a thunderstorm in Buenos Aires earlier in the day, so I imagine the bumpiness was due to that.\nPuerto Iguazu is a small, quaint little airport, and the runway also doubles as the taxiway back to the terminal. The airplane parked on the tarmac, and the stairways were brought up to the plane so people could disembark.\nSince I didn\u2019t check any luggage, I was able to walk out of the terminal in less than about 60 seconds. I quickly located the minibus service to Puerto Iguazu, paid my 20 pesos, and actually got the last vacant spot on the bus. The trip to Puerto Iguazu took about a half hour or so, and the bus stopped periodically to drop people off at various hotels.\nThe Hotel Jardin de Iguazu\nI googled for a nice hotel in Puerto Iguazu, and ended up settling on the Hotel Jardin De Iguazu (the #2 hotel in Puerto Iguazu based on TripAdvisor reviews). It\u2019s a nice little boutique hotel that\u2019s centrally located, and it was a great location to hit the bus the next day as well as check out some of the restaurants in the area. It\u2019s actually somewhat smaller than the photos make it look, but it was still very comfortable.\nThe room was very cozy, and the air conditioner was whisper quiet compared to the one back in my apartment in Buenos Aires. As a result, I slept really well in Iguazu and managed to get caught up on sleep.\nSome people on TripAdvisor complained that the people at the front desk didn\u2019t speak much english (really though, why should they?). I found that between my broken Spanish and the english at the front desk that I was more than able to communicate. Everyone was really welcoming at the desk and made the stay enjoyable.\nOne aspect of the hotel that was new for me is that you have to give your keys to the front desk whenever you leave. I Googled it as soon as they told me that, and it turns out that\u2019s a pretty common practice over in Europe. As soon as you come back you simply give them your room number and they hand you the keys. Strangely enough, they don\u2019t really do any sort of security validation or ask for ID. I walked up, asked for the keys to room 101, and they simply handed them to me each and every time. Maybe it\u2019s a practice from a simpler time when people didn\u2019t have to worry about theft. It was a nice change though, and I thought it was a pretty neat practice. I had everything of value in the hotel safe, so I wasn\u2019t worried in the least.\nThe cost of the hotel was around $110 USD per night, and that included a nice pastry-based buffet breakfast along with coffee and juice.\nI was really craving a good meal my first night in Iguazu, so I walked down the street to El Quincho, one of the better restaurants in town. I ended up ordering a steak in black pepper sauce, which is one of the first times I\u2019ve had steak in a sauce in Argentina. It was a welcome change from the other steaks I\u2019ve had, and was definitely a very enjoyable meal. If you go with more than one person, they also have a really great parrillas, so check that out.\nWith a nice big bottle of Patagonia beer, the meal came to about 110 pesos (around $27 CAD or so). Definitely expensive by Argentine standards, but worth the price considering how nice it was.\nAfter dinner I went and watched some TV (True Lies was actually playing in English, and it was nice to watch some English TV for a change), and then hit the sack with the intention of getting up early.\nBus To The Falls\nI woke up around 8am, and headed down to the front desk area to have breakfast. I filled up on tasty pastries, and then made the 5 minute walk to the main bus station in Puerto Iguazu. I bought a return transfer for Iguazu Falls for a price of 20 pesos (around $5 CAD). I then hopped on board the bus, grabbed the rail (since there weren\u2019t any seats left), and held on for dear life.\nI gotta say, people drive crazy in Argentina. I grew up with friends who were also crazy drivers, so it doesn\u2019t really scare me. But I can why people are afraid to get into cars here. First, the lines on the road seem to be more like suggestions than rules. Very often you\u2019ll see three cars side by side in a space meant for two cars, and wonder how in the world they don\u2019t touch. Cabbies seem to always have their hand on the horn, and aren\u2019t afraid to use it when other people come within an inch or two of their car. Strangely enough, traffic moves along at a good pace and I haven\u2019t seen any accidents. But if you\u2019re afraid of driving like that, best to pop an ativan or two before getting in a vehicle here.\nThe bus picked up a few more people along the way, and after about 30 minutes we arrived at Iguazu Falls. The entrance fee was 100 pesos ($25 CAD), which was reasonable considering I spent five hours there. If you want to come back the next day, just make sure you get your ticket stamped and you\u2019ll get in for half price.\nJourney To The First Falls\nI didn\u2019t sign up for any dedicated tours, which meant I was on my own for the falls. In general, I\u2019m not a huge fan of guided tours as most of them are heavily commercialized and often go at a snails pace. I did the entire falls in five hours, which was a leisurely pace for me \u2013 I heard stories of other tours lasting more than eight hours, and I really don\u2019t know how you could stay that long there.\nUnfortunately because I didn\u2019t do a guided tour, I didn\u2019t really have a map of the complex. There were a few billboards with maps, but none of them seemed to have a \u201cyou are here\u201d icon, so I had a hard time getting my bearings. I ended up walking into a train that every one was getting on, so I figured I would go along for the ride. As it turns out, that was the right thing to do, as that train takes you from the entrances gates to the various trail heads that lead to the falls.\nAccess to the falls are along various hiking trails. The three main ones are the Superior Trail (which takes you along the upper falls), the Inferior Trail (the lower falls), and the trail to Garganta del Diablo (the devil\u2019s throat). I started with the superior trail.\nAs you walk along the superior trail, you can start to hear the sound of rushing water. I was pretty astounded when I got my first glimpse of the falls, and realized I basically was smiling ear to ear. It\u2019s strange to look at a site in Argentina on Wikipedia and suddenly end up in that very spot a few months later.\nIt\u2019s actually an engineering marvel just how close you can get to the falls. Most of the walk ways are literally over the edges of where the falls start descending down the cliffs. I assumed you would be able to walk pretty close to the falls, but never did I imagine that you\u2019d actually get to walk *on top* of them. Definitely cool.\nThe Inferior Trail\nThe inferior trail takes you along the bottom of the falls, and provides a few vantage points for some nice panorama shots. They also give you a pretty clear look at the trails and boardwalks that make up the superior trail.\nYou can also get pretty close to the falls on one part of the inferior trail, so I decided to go the distance to see just how wet I could get. I turns out you can go from zero to completely soaked in about 5 seconds, which is what happened to me.\nI had my iPhone in my pocket wrapped in a garbage bag, so I wasn\u2019t worried about it getting soaked. But my main digital SLR wasn\u2019t wrapped up, and it was pretty much covered in water after walking to the edge of the falls. It\u2019s been wet before, so I knew it would be fine, but the glass on my lens was wet and I had nothing dry to wipe it off with. It basically meant that I had to wait almost 30 minutes until some of my shirt was dry enough to clean the lens off.\nGargantua del Diablo\nWhile the entire falls are spectacular, the very last bit of the tour (depending on what order you visit the falls in) is Gargantua del Diablo, The Devil\u2019s Throat. To go there, you have to board another train and ride of about seven minutes or so. It\u2019s a fun little adventure, and it takes you through the trees and a bit of the jungle.\nThe only downside to the train is the long queue to get on the train. The trains come about every 20 or 30 minutes, so waiting in line can be a bit uncomfortable when it\u2019s hot outside. Thankfully they can fit quite a few people on the trains, so I never had to wait more than one queue, but there were a few other people behind me who didn\u2019t make it on when the train came, and in their case it was more like a 45 minute wait.\nOnce you leave the train, you have about a 10 or 15 minute walk along the little water bridges to get to the falls. You don\u2019t really realize it at the time, but you\u2019re walking right on top of the same river that eventually forms some of the falls for the inferior and superior trails. It\u2019s a bit of an engineering marvel that they\u2019ve constructed walkways all the way from the train, over water, to the Devil\u2019s Throat.\nWithout a doubt, it\u2019s absolutely amazing being right at the edge of the waterfall and watching it tumble over the edge. Everyone got absolutely soaked from this vantage point, but it was well worth it. Here\u2019s a little video I shot of the Devil\u2019s Throat.\nI lucked out heading back to Puerto Iguazu in that I caught every train at Iguazu without any waits. I also basically walked onto the return bus in the parking lot, so I was back to the hotel in no time. After a brief swim I ended up passing out on my bed for a couple hours, and then went for another round of dinner. The next morning I woke up, got a shuttle to the airport (for 20 pesos), and caught my flight back home (which was unfortunately almost three hours late).\nIf you are in Argentina, then you absolutely must see Iguazu Falls. My flight cost around $380 CAD, and the hotel was another $220 CAD. Factor in about $100 for discretionary spending and the total trip was around $700 for the weekend (or $400 in my case since I used some points). Given that it\u2019s routinely ranked as the #1 waterfalls in the world, it was definitely money well spent in my opinion.\nI\u2019ve been posting a lot of videos and photos on my Facebook page, so follow along there for updates as well.\nThree Month Visit To Argentina Six months ago I was sitting back in my apartment in Chilliwack trying to figure out where the first destination on my big adventure would take me.

        "raw_content": "Retired officers urge Musharraf to resign\nBy Tim Johnson | McClatchy\nISLAMABAD, Pakistan \u2014 About 100 retired senior military officers issued a blunt open letter Tuesday exhorting President Pervez Musharraf to resign, as an attack on an army fort in a troubled tribal zone near Afghanistan left 37 Islamic militants dead.\nThe demand from the retired officers is the latest sign that Musharraf, who\u2019s traveling in Europe to shore up his battered image, faces increasingly strong challenges to his rule. Musharraf shed his army uniform last month but relies on the military as a pillar of support.\nThe retired officers \u2014 including about two dozen army generals, three air force air marshals and eight naval admirals \u2014 signed the letter after a meeting at a hotel adjacent to the general headquarters of the Pakistan armed forces in nearby Rawalpindi. The letter said the officers voiced \u201cgreat concern and anguish\u201d during discussions about the \u201cprevailing conditions\u201d in the country.\nSome of the officers had signed statements against Musharraf before, but never in such numbers.\nThe group, calling itself the Pakistan Ex-Servicemen\u2019s Society, said in its statement that it had determined that Musharraf must act quickly.\n\u201cHe should resign his office of the president. This is in the supreme national interest and makes it incumbent on him to step down,\u201d it said.\nThe group\u2019s leader, retired army Lt. Gen. Faiz Ali Chishti, said in a telephone interview that the retired officers believe they represent most Pakistanis.\n\u201cWe are speaking our conscience,\u201d Chishti said. \u201cThis is what the nation wants.\u201d\nMusharraf is expected to travel from France to Switzerland today, where he\u2019ll attend sessions of the World Economic Forum at the Davos alpine resort and meet U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. During a stop in Brussels, Belgium, on the eight-day trip, Musharraf pledged that the Feb. 18 elections would be free, fair and transparent.\nUncertainty has enveloped Pakistan following the Dec. 27 assassination of Benazir Bhutto, a former prime minister and leading politician. Recent bombings have hit all three major cities of Pakistan.\nGen. Mirza Aslam Beg, a retired army chief, predicted that the officers\u2019 statement wouldn\u2019t have much impact on Musharraf.\n\u201cHe will ignore them,\u201d Aslam Beg said.\nAslam Beg, who said he didn\u2019t sign the letter Tuesday, although his name appeared on a printed copy, said that the 64-year-old Musharraf would have difficulty hanging on to the power he\u2019s held since a 1999 bloodless coup.",

        "raw_content": "Belarus and Ukraine: Fort Trump\u2019s accidental victims?\n\u200bYauheni Preiherman\nPresident of Ukraine (cropped) - CC BY 4.0\n\"Fort Trump\" would further the security spiral in eastern Europe, catching Ukraine and Belarus in the crossfire between Russia and the West\nDuring a recent visit to Washington, Polish President Andrzej Duda proposed that the United States establish a permanent military base in his country. This was not the first time the Polish government had tried to secure such an American military presence on its soil. This is despite the fact that several NATO battlegroups already operate in Poland and the Baltic states on a rotational basis as part of the Enhanced Forward Presence. With the US leading the Polish battlegroup \u2013 as the \u201cframework nation\u201d \u2013 there are currently at least 800 American military personnel in Poland at any given time.\nNonetheless, for several months, the Polish authorities have lobbied for the deployment of an entire US armoured division to eastern Poland. They have even said they would provide up to $2 billion to cover the costs of establishing a permanent US base \u2013 although President Donald Trump claimed that they \u201coffered us much more than $2 billion to do this, and so we\u2019re looking at it\u201d. To ensure they had the US president\u2019s ear, the Polish authorities suggested naming the base \u201cFort Trump\u201d, as ECFR's Pawel Zerka wrote recently.\nAlthough it has received a great deal of media attention, the plan is far from set in stone. It does not excite everyone in the US. General Ben Hodges, former commander of US Army Europe, laid out a compelling argument against establishing a permanent base in Poland, focusing on the damage it would do to US interests and NATO cohesion. Nonetheless, it is worth assessing the idea through the lens of eastern European countries\u2019 security interests \u2013 which great powers often ignore. In particular: what unintended consequences could a Fort Trump have for stability in the region and the security of individual eastern European nations?\nIf the US established a permanent military base in Poland, Minsk would find it increasingly difficult to resist Russian pressure\nEstablishing a permanent US base in Poland would inevitably create a classic security dilemma in eastern Europe. Such dilemmas involve \u201ca situation where the actions a state takes to increase its own security cause reactions from other states, which leads to a decrease rather than an increase in the state\u2019s security\u201d, as political scientist Anders Wivel puts it. Indeed, Moscow\u2019s immediate reaction to the Fort Trump proposal leaves little doubt that a permanent base would set in motion a security spiral. For example, Russian General Anatoly Sidorov, chief of the joint staff of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO), quickly stated that, in this scenario, Washington and Warsaw would receive \u201can adequate response\u201d.\nOne might argue that Russia and the West have been locked into a security spiral since Russian forces annexed Crimea and began a war in eastern Donbas. Yet, this hardly changes the fact that a US base in Poland would intensify distrust and hostility between the sides. Moreover, establishing a Fort Trump would mean abandoning the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act, which stipulates that Alliance will abstain from \u201cadditional permanent stationing of substantial combat forces\u201d. The act may be irrelevant in today\u2019s security environment, but de facto renouncing it would significantly strengthen Moscow\u2019s resolve to act.\nRussia would continue to militarise its Kaliningrad exclave as a primary countermeasure. Yet, both symbolically and practically, this will not be enough. For Moscow, the next logical step would be to exert intense pressure on Belarus to accept a permanent military Russian presence on its territory.\nMoscow pushed for just this in 2015, only for Minsk to decline \u2013 almost certainly because the proposed airbase would have drawn Belarus into the escalating confrontation between Russia and the West. Hosting a foreign military base is tantamount to placing your country on the adversary\u2019s list of primary targets. Mindful of this, Minsk has done its best to play a neutral role in holding Ukraine peace talks rather than becoming a party to the politico-military confrontation in the country.\nHowever, if the US established a permanent military base in Poland, Minsk would find it increasingly difficult to resist Russian pressure. Belarus has defence commitments in its bilateral relations with Russia, as well as within the CSTO\u2019s framework. The deployment of an American armoured division on its border would constitute too big a challenge to ignore, especially as Minsk is aware of the West\u2019s powerlessness to help it refuse Moscow\u2019s demands.\nImportantly, Belarus would not be the only accidental victim; a Fort Trump would also have repercussions for Kyiv. Were the base to be constructed, Minsk would find it much harder to maintain its guarantee that there will be no military attack on Ukraine originating in Belarusian territory. President Aleksandr Lukashenko first provided this guarantee in 2014, and he has reiterated it on multiple occasions. The pledge is important because it allows Ukraine to shift its attention and resources away from its northern border and towards the conflict zone in Donbas. Lukashenko\u2019s good relationship with his Ukrainian counterpart, Petro Poroshenko, indicates that the guarantee matters.\nThus, one knock-on effect of a Fort Trump could be to increase the risks for Ukraine, forcing the country to spend significantly more on the defence of its northern border. In these circumstances, an escalation of the war between Ukraine and Russia could be even more disastrous for Kyiv than it otherwise would have been, given that the Belarusian-Ukrainian border is 1,084km long and only 150km from Kyiv at one point.\nIn light of these issues, Washington should carefully consider the eastern European security dilemma before deciding whether to build a Fort Trump. The European Union should also pay greater attention to the plan for the base, as it raises a fundamental issue for its Eastern Neighbourhood Policy. Indeed, a Fort Trump would have major implications for the Eastern Partnership, a project that deteriorating security in eastern Europe could halt, if not destroy.\nYauheni Preiherman is head of the Minsk Dialogue Track-II Initiative.\nRead more on: European Power,New European Security Initiative,Security and Defence,European Strategy,Transatlantic relationship",

        "raw_content": "$60 Million in Recovery Funds Now Available for Washington, D.C. to Save Jobs and Drive Education Reform\nApplication for Part 1 of Washington, D.C.\u2019s State Stabilization Funds Approved Today\nU. S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced that $60 million is now available for Washington, D.C. under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. This funding will lay the foundation for a generation of education reform and help save hundreds of thousands of teaching jobs at risk of state and local budget cuts. Washington, D.C. will be eligible to apply for another $29 million this fall. Today\u2019s funding is being made available per Washington, D.C.\u2019s successful completion of Part 1 of the State Stabilization Application, which was made available on April 1st.\n\u201cThe $60 million Washington, D.C. will receive today is part of the single largest boost in education funding in recent history,\u201d said Duncan. \u201cThe President\u2019s leadership and support from Congress have made this historic investment possible. Washington, D.C. can now utilize these funds to save jobs and lay the groundwork for a generation of education reform.\u201d\nTo date, Washington, D.C. has received more than $29 million in education stimulus funds\u2014representing a combination of funding for Title I, IDEA, Vocational Rehabilitation Grants and Independent Living Grants. On April 1st, Washington, D.C. received $19 million in Title I funding and more than $9 million in IDEA funding. This represents 50% of the Title I and IDEA funding Washington, D.C. is eligible for in total. On April 1st, Washington, D.C. also received $940 thousand in Vocational Rehab funds and more than $246 thousand in Independent Living funds.\nIn order to receive today\u2019s funds, Washington, D.C. provided assurances that it will collect, publish, analyze and act on basic information regarding the quality of classroom teachers, annual student improvements, college readiness, the effectiveness of state standards and assessments, progress on removing charter caps and interventions in turning around underperforming schools.\nWashington, D.C. is also required by the Department of Education to report the number of jobs saved through Recovery Act funding, the amount of state and local tax increases averted and how funds are used.\nSee Washington, D.C. and other state applications for initial funding under the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund Program at http://www.ed.gov/programs/statestabilization/resources.html.\nTags: District of ColumbiaState Fiscal Stabilization FundRecovery ActP-12 ReformPress Releases",

        "raw_content": "Oklahoma City Public Schools, U.S. Education Department Reach Settlement to Address Disproportionate Discipline of Black Students\nThe U.S. Department of Education today reached a settlement agreement with the Oklahoma City Public Schools to address disproportionate discipline of black students. An investigation revealed black students were significantly overrepresented in disciplinary actions.\nBefore the Department's Office for Civil Rights had completed its probe, the district expressed an interest in resolving the case voluntarily, resulting in the agreement announced today. The agreement is aimed at correcting Oklahoma City's discipline practices to ensure that the district satisfies its civil rights obligations to its students going forward.\n\"I applaud the district for its commitment to improving its discipline policies, procedures and practices for the students it serves every school day, including through evaluation of its reliance on and training for school resource officers,\" said Catherine E. Lhamon, assistant secretary for the Office for Civil Rights. \"I appreciate the positive steps the district took during the course of our investigation and I look forward to working with the district to implement this agreement.\"\nOCR's investigation found that black students were considerably overrepresented in all of the district's disciplinary actions. For example, for the 2014-15 school year, OCR's investigation exposed a high rate of black students being referred for discipline as compared with white students. Notably, black students accounted for 42 percent of in-school suspensions although they represent only 26 percent of the population. Likewise, for the 2011-12 school year, black students received in-school and out-of-school suspensions, were referred to law enforcement, and were arrested for school-related incidents at statistically significant proportions compared to their enrollment in the district.\nDuring the course of OCR's investigation, the district initiated an internal audit. Both OCR's investigation and the audit found scores of concerns including: incomplete and inconsistent recordkeeping; inconsistent provision of due process rights; that the district as an entity is inconsistent in its discipline practices; there are inconsistencies within individual schools themselves; there are inconsistencies in information provided to parents when their children were suspended; and that parameters of certain disciplinary sanctions are unclear, such as \"defiance of authority\" and \"disrespect\" among others.\nIn response, the district has undertaken a number of corrective steps, including initiating a review of its discipline policies and practices and its discipline code. The district also created the Office of School Climate and Student Discipline and hired a director of school climate and student discipline and three student behavior specialists.\nThe agreement, in part:\nDesignates an employee to serve as the district's discipline supervisor.\nProhibits exclusionary discipline to the maximum extent possible.\nRequires the district to retain experts to advise the district on research-based strategies to prevent discrimination.\nImplements revised policies and practices.\nRequires training for staff and administrators and programs for students and parents to explain the policies and behavioral expectations.\nRequires the district to provide teachers and administrators with the tools and training to support positive student behavior to prevent and address misconduct.\nRequires school staff to employ a range of corrective measures before referring a student to disciplinary authorities.\nEnsures a system of supports at each school to assess students who display behavior problems.\nAddresses school climate issues.\nImplements measures to engage students, staff and parents in the implementation of the revised policies, practices and procedures.\nRequires a comprehensive review of the School Resource Officer program to assess the program's effectiveness and alignment with ensuring misbehavior is addressed in a manner that minimizes exclusionary discipline to the maximum extent possible.\nFacilitates communication with the parent complainant should she choose to re-enroll her children.\nA copy of the OCR letter to the Oklahoma City Public Schools can be found here. A copy of the agreement can be found here.\nToday's agreement resolves one of three OCR investigations of the Oklahoma City district. The two ongoing investigations involve complaints alleging the district failed to provide male and female students with equal opportunity and access with respect to athletic activities. Additionally, the complaints allege that the district discriminated against students with disabilities with regard to the provision of a free appropriate public education.\nOCR's mission is to ensure equal access to education and promote educational excellence throughout the nation through the vigorous enforcement of civil rights. OCR is responsible for enforcing federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination by educational institutions on the basis of disability, race, color, national origin, sex, and age, as well as the Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act of 2001. For more information about OCR and how OCR processes civil rights cases, please visit OCR's website at www.ed.gov/ocr.\nThe Department of Education launched its Rethink Discipline initiative last year to assist school leaders in their efforts to reduce suspensions and expulsions and provide school environments that are safe, supportive, and conducive to teaching and learning. Rethink Discipline builds on the work of the Supportive School Discipline Initiative\u0097a collaboration between the Departments of Education and Justice to support the use of school discipline practices that foster safe, supportive, and productive learning environments while keeping students in school.\nHighlights from the Initiative's work include the School Climate and Discipline Guidance Package released by Education and Justice to provide schools with a roadmap to reduce the usage of exclusionary discipline practice and clarify schools' civil rights obligation to not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin in the administration of school discipline.",

        "title": "Junior Senator Carves a Policy Niche In Telecommunications for Education - Education Week",
        "raw_content": "Junior Senator Carves a Policy Niche In Telecommunications for Education\nWASHINGTON--Although he is a first-term lawmaker from a thinly populated state, Sen. Conrad Burns of Montana has already established himself as a major player in the national debate over the role of telecommunications in education.\nThis fall, Mr. Burns enjoys the double distinction of having written both the distance-learning section of the Republican national platform and an education-technology bill endorsed by the Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate, Sen. Al Gore of Tennessee.\nSenator Burns's bill would provide incentives to telephone companies to develop a national, fiber-optic-based \"telecommunications highway,'' with priority given to extending the reach of such a system to schools and libraries by 2015, years ahead of the industry's current schedule.\nHe also has sponsored another, more controversial, measure that would provide federal loan guarantees to underwrite a privately developed educational-satellite network.\nAs the Congressional session drew to a close last week, both bills appeared certain to die in committee. But a spokesman said the senator plans to reintroduce both measures in the new Congress next year.\nA farm broadcaster before being elected to the Senate in 1988, Mr. Burns uses an agricultural metaphor to explain why he has taken such an active role on education-technology issues.\n\"I was born and raised on a small farm, where, if you were a good agriculturist, you planned a certain acreage for a certain crop and those plans were made five or six years in advance,'' he said. \"You were taught that you had to put an infrastructure in first before all these other things could happen.''\nSitting recently in his Capitol Hill office, surrounded by prints and photographs of Montana on the walls and a frequently used spittoon beneath his desk, Mr. Burns added that his broadcasting background has helped him see the urgency of planning now to provide students with the electronic tools they will need to compete in a technologically advanced world.\nAlthough he admits that he does not have any particular expertise in educational policy or curriculum development, Mr. Burns argues that educators cannot afford to ignore technological progress.\n\"I think the role of government is to make available all of the tools to the people who know how to teach,'' he said. \"If we're going to move information with the speed of light, and in great quantities, then the infrastructure has to be in place to deal with that.''\nMr. Burns's seat on the Commerce Committee has given him an ideal post from which to highlight issues of educational access to technology.\nFor example, he recently encouraged the chairman of the Communications Subcommittee, Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, D-Hawaii, to hold a lengthy hearing on distance learning.\nThe Montana Republican argues that a recent decision of the Federal Communications Commission to allow telephone companies to transmit television programming is evidence that his ideas are gaining wider support. While his fiber-optic bill was considered \"radical'' when first introduced, he said, it is now on the forefront of technological change.\nSenator Burns's stands have won him strong backing from some in the education-technology industry.\n\"I think [his actions] reflect what people involved in educational technology know very well: that there is a way to distribute our educational resources both equitably and cost-effectively,'' said Shelley Weinstein, the president of the National Educational Telecommunications Organization, a Washington-based nonprofit group.\nAnalysts say Ms. Weinstein's group would be the chief beneficiary of Senator Burns's satellite loan-guarantee measure.\nMixed Ties to Educators\nBut Mr. Burns has had a more mixed relationship with educators at the federal and state levels.\nDuring the recent subcommittee hearing, for example, he repeatedly clashed with Diane S. Ravitch, the Education Department's assistant secretary for educational research and improvement, over priorities for federal technology programs.\nMs. Ravitch, arguing against the need for a dedicated educational satellite, advocated spending money to develop educational programming for the existing distribution system.\nSenator Burns said he has since mended fences with officials at the department, but still believes there are important philosophical difference between them.\nMr. Burns also has had a mixed relationship with Montana school officials, some of whom describe his record in backing federal education-spending bills as lackluster.\nObservers say Mr. Burns's standing with educators may suffer in comparison with that of his Montana colleague in the Senate, Max Baucus, a Democrat with close ties to school groups and a more consistent record of support for education bills.\n\"We haven't sensed much of a role in education,'' said Holly Kaleczyc, the chief of staff for State Superintendent of Public Instruction Nancy Keenan. \"But, on the other hand, it's difficult for him because he doesn't have the appropriate committee assignments.''\nAides to Mr. Burns note that he has received a 100 percent vote rating from the National School Boards Association during his first term.\nAt Odds With PBS\nSenator Burns's satellite loan-guarantee measure also has displeased officials of the Public Broadcasting Service, which is on the verge of launching its own satellite-based distance-learning experiment.\nMr. Burns initally sought to include the loan-guarantee provisions as an amendment to a PBS funding bill.\nAlthough Mr. Burns quickly abandoned that tactic, his bill has continued to spur sharp debate between PBS officials and advocates of the \u00ee\u0178\u00e5\u0178\u00f4\u0178\u00ef\u0178 satellite.\nScarce federal dollars would be better spent on providing videocassette recorders and other equipment that schools need to take advantage of available programming, argued Sandra Welch, the executive vice president of PBS for education.\nJohn M. Lawson, a spokesman for America's Public Television Stations, the trade association that represents PBS and its locally owned stations, faulted Senator Burns for refusing to broaden the terms of the loan-guarantee measure to include aid aimed at enabling schools to use the expanded programming that would be available from a new satellite.\nBut N.E.T.O. supporters accuse PBS of using its lobbying clout to kill a bill that could challenge its dominance of educational programming.\nSenator Burns acknowledges that his satellite bill may not be able to overcome its powerful opposition.\n\"I guess if I had a little nook and cranny over here where I was very safe and didn't have any competition,'' he said, \"I would imagine I would be maybe opposed to this too.''",

        "raw_content": "Worst Behavior: The Real Reason Why We Love To Be Bad\nBy Umeshi Rajeendra\nHave you ever paused for a second or two and wondered why you did something?\nWhy did I just eat three whole cupcakes, when I want to lose weight by the end of this week? Why did I just ignore her completely, even though I wanted to talk to her all night? Why did I break up with him, when deep down I was just scared to take the next step?\nWe've all done things and wondered why we did them in the first place. Sometimes we feel regret; other times, we just move on. If you\u2019re the latter, you\u2019re good to go because you realize there is no point in worrying about the past; however, if you\u2019re the former, then there might be a problem.\nThe bottom line is we all do things we shouldn't be doing, and most of the time, we do those things while knowing it\u2019s not the best decision. So why do we do it, anyway?\nSelf-interest through learned behavior is the answer. It is human nature to do things out of self-interest, especially in the short run because, let's face it: Feeling instant gratification is of the utmost importance. We usually ignore all the other voices in our head that tell us otherwise.\nPerhaps you\u2019re someone who says yes to everything and everyone, when in reality, you should be saying no to people, choices and actions that destroy you. However, you've learned to say yes, and it feels great in the moment. Once the action is done, though, you immediately regret it.\nThen there are times we are feeling empty, and we tell ourselves if we do or say this one thing, the pain will go away. But in reality, when you give into this urge, the gratification is short lived.\nMost of the time, we do things because we want to avoid the pain or the guilt of saying no. We fail to realize that by doing so, we are only creating more pain the future. It is a never-ending cycle.\nIn addition, emotions make us prone to tunnel-vision decisions. We do things that will help us in the spur of a moment, while simultaneously choosing to oversee the effects in the long run. We are all culprits of this.\nThere is no point in worrying about the past and the decisions you've made; what you can do is focus on changing your learned behavior in the future. When you're about to do something you have think twice about, or you hear all sorts of voices in your head, acknowledge what you\u2019re feeling before making a decision.\nOf course it is easier said than done; it takes time and progress, but eventually it will become a new learned behavior. You just have to put your mind to it and create new habits.",

Now, this report comes shortly after news that Jenner reportedly called it quits with NBA star Ben Simmons, her other rumored flame. E! reported on Thursday, Aug. 30 that the summer romance between Simmons and Jenner had fizzled out. Elite Daily reached out to Jenner's representation for a comment on both her reported relationship with Hadid and her reported relationship status with Simmons but did not hear back at the time of publication.\nMeanwhile, Jenner was reportedly heating things up with Hadid at the Malibu Chili Cook-Off in Malibu, California on the Friday of Labor Day weekend. Per ET, the Jenner and Hadid \"cozied up\" and kept close to one another as they rode a carnival slide. This sounds like it has all the makings of a possible fall romance.\nIt wasn't an exclusive night out for the purported twosome, though. They were reportedly joined by Bella Hadid and other pals as they closed out summer with a fun night out at the Malibu Chili Cook-Off. Given that Hadid's sister was with the crew, it makes sense that there aren't any reports of the Jenner and Hadid sharing a kiss, but I wouldn't say that it's totally out of the question \u2014 or that it means that these two aren't reportedly an item. If Jenner and Hadid are actually an item, it's clear that she still knows how to spend quality time with her besties, because Bella and Jenner both shared fun moments from their night out on their IG accounts, per ET.\nFriday's night out wasn't the first time that Hadid and Jenner were linked together. In fact, Jenner and Hadid reportedly locked lips back in the beginning of the summer on Tuesday, June 5, following the 2018 Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards after-party in New York City. Elite Daily reached out to Jenner and Hadid's teams at the time for comment on the report but did not hear back by the time of publication. That reported smooch came amid reports at the time that Jenner had just struck up a romance with Simmons around Memorial Day 2018.\nFast-forward to the end of summer 2018, and these names are swirling around in romance rumors once again. Although, I think it's safe to say that Jenner and Simmons have officially cooled. Even though they spent a week in Mexico with Jenner's sister Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian and her beau, Tristan Thompson, in mid-August, the E! reports of this split cite a source who said of Jenner,\nShe always wanted to keep her options open. She likes Ben but she knew it was more of a summer fling. They both have busy careers and it is what it is. Kendall isn't looking for anything serious. She had fun with Ben, but wasn't ever fully committed or looking for a long-term, exclusive relationship.\nSo, that's that, but now all eyes are on Jenner and Hadid. I guess you'll just have to wait to see how this reported romance plays out.",

        "title": "Will Zendaya Be Ariel In 'The Little Mermaid'? She's Definitely Ready To Go Under The Sea",
        "raw_content": "No one could have predicted just how wildly popular or successful Disney's return to fairytales would be. Their live-action remakes of Cinderella and Beauty & The Beast have been box office triumphs, their re-imagining of Winnie The Pooh as Christopher Robin was a critical darling. Everyone is looking forward to a Beyonce and Donald Glover-led The Lion King in 2019. With these sort of out-of-the-box successes, who wouldn't want to find themselves cast in the next major Disney live-action remake? This is why fans are wondering, will Zendaya be Ariel in The Little Mermaid?\nUnlike some of the Disney remakes, The Little Mermaid does not yet have a release date, and is still in the writing phase, which suggests it wouldn't be coming out until 2020 at the very earliest, but more likely aiming for a 2021 release. There was a The Little Mermaid trailer which came out back in May, but it is not Disney's version. (That live action Little Mermaid came out last month and no one really noticed.)\nRumors have been flying for almost a month that Zendaya is the Mouse House's preferred choice for the part. She's already an established player in another corner of their enormous stable of production companies, playing Mary-Jane Watson in Spider-Man: Homecoming and the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe co-production with Sony, Spider-Man: Far From Home.\nNord96 on YouTube\nIt wouldn't be too big a leap to move over to the Disney princess part of the lot and join the likes of Lily James and Emma Watson in a musical remake of her own. The fact Zendaya has serious singing chops and an actual pop music career, unlike her predecessors, is just bonus cookies for casting her as the mermaid with the vocal chords of gold.\nBut while the rumor mill has practically cast her already, Zendaya says there's no deal for her to play the part being hammered out. This is all just a rumor.\nSpeaking to Variety at the Smallfoot premiere this weekend, she was upfront about wanting the part if Disney will have her.\nI mean, yeah, why wouldn\u2019t I?\nAs for what is confirmed about Disney's remake of The Little Mermaid, according to Entertainment Weekly:\nVeteran Disney composer Alan Menken officially confirmed at D23 Expo that [Lin-Manuel] Miranda will be collaborating with him on new music for the film, which is to re-imagine the studio\u2019s 1989 animated classic. 'For the live-action Little Mermaid, I\u2019m writing additional songs with lyrics by Hamilton and Moana songwriter Lin-Manuel Miranda,' he said.\nMiranda is also involved with Disney's next live-action (probable) hit, Mary Poppins Returns, which comes out a few days before Christmas. If Poppins turns out to be a monster like Beauty & The Beast was last year, the role of Ariel will become the next hottest part to land on the Disney lot. Fans of Zendaya hope if she is in talks for the character, she gets it locked down ahead of this coming December.\nMeanwhile, Zendaya can be heard next in the animated Smallfoot, which arrives in theaters Friday, Sept. 28. 2018.",

I, however, am in the habit of praising the ancients and our predecessors rather than the men of the present day, and more greatly, as a precaution against the envy of the living and through fear of the wrath of those who are dead.\nSoc.: Yours, Hippias, is a most excellent way, at any rate, of speaking about them and of thinking, it seems to me and I can bear you witness that you speak the truth, and that your art really has progressed in the direction of ability to carry on public together with private affairs. For this man Gorgias, the sophist from Leontini, came here from home in the public capacity of envoy, as being best able of all the citizens of Leontini to attend to the interests of the community, and it was the general opinion that he spoke excellently in the public assembly, and in his private capacity, by giving exhibitions and associating with the young, he earned and received a great deal of money from this city ; or, if you like, our friend here, Prodicus, often went to other places in a public capacity, and the last time, just lately, when he came here in a public capacity from Ceos, he gained great reputation by his speaking before the Council, and in his private capacity, by giving exhibitions and associating with the young, he received a marvellous sum of money ; but none of those ancients ever thought fit to exact the money as payment for his wisdom or to give exhibitions among people of various places ; so simple-minded were they, and so unconscious of the fact that money is of the greatest value. But either of these two has earned more money from his wisdom than any artisan from his art. And even before these Protagoras did so.",

        "raw_content": "Real Estate News: It\u2019s all about Art!\nToday is the last exhibition day of the Art Basel Hong Kong, the leading contemporary art fair in Asia. It brings together visitors who are interested in art, but also in investing in high-quality goods. We talked with Chris Liem, our Licence Partner in Hong Kong, about the correlation between art lovers and real estate enthusiasts and how art assumes a significant role in the real estate market.\nIs there a relation between Real Estate and Art in Hong Kong?\nIn general, there is a correlation, similar to yachts and private jet acquisitions: Art is a sign of affluence. Many renowned buildings in Hong Kong are themselves considered to be work\u2019s of art. The Sir Norman Foster-designed HSBC headquarters in Central, Frank Gehry\u2019s the Opus, The Bank of China building by I. M.Pei, are some such world-famous architecturally and artistic buildings in Hong Kong.\nDo people that are interested in real estate also like to go to an art exhibit like Art Basel?\nYes, Hong Kong people love a party and in recent years Hong Kong has become a prominent hub on the Arts circuit. Hong Kong is home to a significant affluent population who view both art and real estate as choice investment assets.\nHow is the real estate market in Hong Kong developing at the moment?\nThe real estate market towards the end of 2014 had rebounded from the lows of 2011 when the government introduced the first cooling measures. The Land Registry recorded 63,807 residential sales in 2014. This figure represents a 25% increase over 2013. Primary home sales accounted for a bulk of these sales as several new builds were launched by developers at attractive price points. The market thus has improved, but uncertainties about the political situation and the tapering of quantitive easing and the rise of interest rates in the US still remain.\nWhat are clients most searching for in Hong Kong?\nHong Kong provides a stable, safe living environment at the same time the city is diverse, vibrant and exciting. All these attributes are extremely attractive to foreign real estate buyers in Hong Kong. As a result, they don\u2019t hesitate to put down big bucks to acquire \u2018a dream home\u2019 or even a \u2018trophy house\u2019 in Hong Kong. The business environment and climate in Hong Kong means that our clients looking for Hong Kong property look for objects which fit their image and brand, which is comfortable and convenient and is a stable and secure investment.",

        "raw_content": "Jan 5, 2017 - by Rory Whelan\nThe decade so far has seen start up fever sweep the UK. In 2015, according to Start Up Britain, more than 600,000 new businesses were set up, with the previous year's figure standing at 500,000. These businesses are vital to the British economy, providing employment to nearly 7 million people.\nWith record numbers establishing new businesses, hopefully 2017 will be another triumphant year for start ups. For those wanting to make the leap and set up on their own in the New Year, finding your feet may be daunting at first. Don\u2019t let the fear of the unknown prevent you from sticking to your dream though. Take some advice from Rory Whelan, Voice Marketing Manager, eReceptionist.\nHave a business plan \u2013 As the saying goes, if you fail to plan then you plan to fail. Have a succinct and clear business plan which should include points such as sales forecasts, identification of competitors and an outline of how your money will be spent. Having a plan will not only enable you to monitor your business\u2019s success but it will also prove useful when asking outsiders for funding. Conversely, don\u2019t be beholden to the plan, we all know that the pace of change in any business is rapid so make sure you are able to adapt \u2013 the joy of entrepreneurship is often the ability to make decisions on the fly.\nSet up from home \u2013 In the early days of your business, cash flow is king, so forget about wasting precious resources on renting an office. Save as much money as you can by setting up your base from home. Your accountant can ensure that part of your electricity bills and even part of your mortgage expenses are offset against your tax bill. To help this, and to maintain a personal life, it\u2019s now simple and cost effective to set up a second phone line for your business calls. When you bundle your number with a virtual office phone system you\u2019ll have all the benefits of a real time receptionist, answering and directing your calls so that you never miss a business opportunity.\nKeep track of your finances \u2013 Hopefully the money will be flowing in in no time. However, don\u2019t get too carried away, always keep good track of your financial status. Do you have savings that can be invested and will these be enough? If you don\u2019t, approach potential investors and lenders early-on. Don\u2019t rule out considering government-backed funding too. Investigate the many business incubator services that are on hand to advise you, and in some cases offer financial backing.\nDon\u2019t go it alone \u2013 Taking on the weight of a business all by yourself might be too much, especially if you have a family. Try and find a business partner who has the same goals as you, but with different skills and knowledge to you, then you\u2019ll both complement each other.\nCreate a Buzz \u2013 If you don\u2019t shout about your new business, who will? Make the most out of free tools such as social media to spread the word. Similarly, something as simple as asking your customers to tell their friends and family about you can have a big impact. Also, make sure to network \u2013 this doesn\u2019t have to be at a specialist \u2018networking event\u2019 but in your day to day activities \u2013 just keep telling people about your service and you may find yourself talking to someone who knows someone or something of use!\nImage is everything \u2013 A good business name, business cards and a professional website all contribute to how your business is perceived by the public. But don\u2019t underestimate the power of the telephone number too. By setting up a national number such as an 0800 number, your business projects the image of being a bigger enterprise, with national reach. Similarly, acquiring local phone numbers will give you the freedom to run your business from any location and expand into new territories without the added cost. Should you want to appeal to customers in Birmingham despite being based in Manchester, then it\u2019s easy enough to have an 0121 number with the calls routed to your existing landline or mobile allowing you to be \u2018local\u2019 wherever \u2018local\u2019 is.\nPick up the cost \u2013 0800 numbers instantly give a company a customer friendly appearance, as they are free to call from landlines and will soon be free from mobiles too. Our research shows that UK businesses have seen a call volume increase of 167% when they switched to a Freephone number. So show your customers that you are not afraid of hearing from them; it\u2019s great for call volumes and it will give you the instant credibility you need when trying to get your business up and running.\nGo digital \u2013 Keep your start-up costs to a minimum and look to invest in cloud-based services. In the early stages, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll have to sign lots of contracts and orders. Investing in the right fax software will make running your business more smooth, time and cost efficient. Digital faxing, for example, eliminates any need for any fax hardware and also allows you to sign orders or contracts through a digitised signature anywhere from your mobile, dramatically reducing the time it takes to convert new business into revenue.\nDon\u2019t focus on only one area \u2013 Customer care, business development and administration are the three key areas you should concentrate on. They are all equally important and all need equal attention. If you neglect one, then it will have an impact on the business as a whole. No one likes doing paper work, but it needs to be done!\nDon\u2019t give up - Learn from your mistakes and adapt accordingly. Be prepared to continue refining your business methods as you encounter new hurdles. No one successful ever launched with the finished product, so keep tweaking and adding. You\u2019ll learn so much from your first few sales and customers to help you refine the way you do business and make things easier for you going forward. Overall keep motivated and don\u2019t lose sight of why you started the business in the first place.\nLearn more about creating your virtual office here",

        "raw_content": "Anorexia Nervosa Is a Serious Research Paper\nPages: 10 (2922 words) \u00b7 Bibliography Sources: 6 \u00b7 Level: Master's \u00b7 Topic: Psychology \u00b7 Buy This Paper\n[. . .] In younger patients, a family assessment can be critical to treatment planning, as the patient will typically have extensive contact with family members while she is in treatment and attempting to regain weight and recovered from her disordered eating habits (Keel & McCormick, 2010).\nThe patient's environment and family experiences, in fact, are often heavily factored in the etiology of anorexia. Many experts suggest that family dynamics may play a key role in the development of anorexia. A person needing to individuate from family members or maintain a sense of control over her environment may develop disordered eating habits. Environmental factors are, however not the only possible cause of anorexia. Current studies indicate that there may be a myriad of biological factors, such as brain chemistry and genetics, which contribute to anorexia. Studies have indicated that anorexics tend to have higher levels of cortisol, the hormone related to stress, and lower levels of serotonin, which is related to feelings of well being. Imbalances in brain chemistry may result in obsessive-compulsive behaviors and mood disorders, both of which are highly associated with anorexia. Cultural factors also play a role, as the media and society in general promote thinness as a measure of beauty and desirability. A young person with a weak self-concept and a predisposition to perfectionism or obsessive behavior may be highly influenced by these social cues. In fact, groups such as dancers, models, and media personalities have some of the highest rates of anorexia and other eating disorders because so much emphasis is placed on their physical appearance and body weight (Smith et. al., 2011). Each individual may have different factors contributing to the development of anorexia, and treatment teams must investigate the causes in order to develop the most promising treatment plan.\nTreatments?\nTreatments for anorexia include medical, nutritional, and psychological interventions. The patient's weight and vital signs help a treatment team determine the appropriate treatment setting. Patients who are severely underweight, show evidence of metabolic or cardiac abnormalities, or display an inability to care for themselves due to their physical or psychological state, may require treatment in a hospital setting. Hospital treatment may include the use of a feeding tube and intravenous fluids, and patients typically gain an average of 2 to 3 pounds a week. Hospitalization normally lasts as long as the patient has serious health risks due to low weight or associated health issues (Franco, 2011).\nNutritional therapies for anorexia are designed to return the patient to a healthy weight. These interventions may require careful monitoring of the patient and the use of positive reinforcement and restrictions from exercise. Regular weigh-ins, thorough physical exams, and monitoring of urine output and bowel movements are critical for the charting of patient progress. It has been repeatedly noted that many patients treated for anorexia in hospital or outpatient settings may be very ambivalent about their treatment, and in many cases this can lead to treatment resistance. Some patients report that they feel coerced into treatment and deny the presence of health issues related to their weight. These cases may be very difficult to treat, as the patient may engage in behaviors that directly undermine the effectiveness or success of treatment (Franco, 2011)\nPsychological interventions for eating disorders include interpersonal and cognitive behavioral therapies with the aim of changing the patient's attitudes and behaviors towards food and enhancing both social and interpersonal functioning. These therapies are used in both in-patient and outpatient settings. Cognitive behavioral techniques are combined with nutrition planning, and often use strategies such as meal planning, stress management techniques, and gradually increasing exposure to different foods. A main theme of these psychosocial approaches is to help a patient develop coping skills to manage anxiety and fear regarding food and increasing body weight. In addition, many approaches directly address issues of low self-esteem or distorted thinking that often precipitates food-restricting behaviors. In addition, depending on the needs of the patient, family or marital therapy may be implemented to address any dysfunctional patterns that may have contributed to development of the eating disorder (Smith et al., 2011).\nMany forms of group therapy and support are available to individuals with anorexia. Some of these are clinically based therapy groups run by mental health professionals. The participants learn communication skills, and use the group as a source of feedback regarding treatment progress. Some support groups, such as Overeaters Anonymous, are peer-based groups that are primarily used to prevent relapse once a patient has recovered to a healthy weight. Overeaters Anonymous and related 12-Step programs approach the treatment of eating disorders from a physical, emotional, and spiritual perspective, and many aspects of the program's counseling and steps format incorporate a spiritual emphasis that integrates quite directly with Christian counseling methods, that is, incorporating a spiritual approach to emotional and physical recovery (Franco, 2011).\nPhysiatrists often prescribe psychotropic medications once patients have regained a significant amount of weight. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly used to treat depressive symptoms and control anxiety and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. In addition, anti-psychotic medications may be prescribed to treat issues of severe agitation or psychotic thinking that may result from nutritional deficiencies or, during recovery, increases in food intake. In addition, fast-acting anti-anxiety medications, such as benzodiazepines can be used to treat extreme episodes of anxiety or panic that may result from the reintroduction of food or the limitation of exercise.\nThe prognosis for an anorexic patient may vary widely depending on the severity of her symptoms at the time of diagnosis. A variety of studies indicate that an estimated 10% of cases end in death. Physical complications, such as kidney damage, heart irregularities, and weakened bones, and thyroid malfunction may also result in long-term medical issues, and up to 20% of patients suffer from ongoing medical issues. A prognosis may be more promising for a patient who shows very few signs of comorbid disorders, such as personality or substance abuse disorders. Outcomes are also typically better for patients who respond to SSRI medications for the treatment of anxiety or depressive symptoms. Patients with comorbid disorders and duel diagnosis may respond to medical treatments and behavioral therapies, but their risk of relapse may be higher due to multiple risk factors (Halse et al., 2008).\nPatients who are treated at a younger age and earlier in the progression of the disease have a higher chance of full recovery. Likewise patients with families or support systems, such as significant others, church groups, or spiritual leaders who are directly involved in the recovery process, have a better rate of recovery compared to patients who lack strong support system or report highly dysfunctional or conflict filled home environments (Franco, K., 2011).\nOverall the diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of anorexia nervosa presents many and varied challenges for researchers and providers. This disorder continues to have a complex relationship with both biological and psychological factors, and can be present with a wide variety of comormid and extremely complicated conditions, such as substance abuse disorders and personality disorders. As such, treatment plans and prognosis much be highly individualized, and researchers must continue to study how these complexities guide or determine specific treatment strategies.\nAmerican Psychiatric Association.

His findings are as follows:\nJust to find some solid numbers, how many Catholic clergy are involved in misconduct? We actually have some good information on this issue, since in the early 1990s the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago undertook a bold and thorough self-study. The survey examined every priest who had served in the archdiocese over the previous 40 years, some 2,200 individuals, and responded to every internal complaint ever made against these men. The standard of evidence applied was not legal proof that would stand up in a court of law, but just consensus that a particular charge was probably justified. By this low standard, the survey found that about 40 priests, about 1.8 per cent of the whole, were probably guilty of misconduct with minors at some point in their careers. Put another way, no evidence existed against 98 per cent of parish clergy, the overwhelming majority of the group. Since other organizations dealing with children have not undertaken such comprehensive studies, we have no idea whether the Catholic figure is better or worse than the rate for schoolteachers, residential counselors, social workers, or scout masters.\" (Jenkins)\nArgument for the Connection\nMany psychologists and religious scholars say that some evidence points to the fact that the serious and widespread problem of sexual deviance within the priesthood is caused, at least in some part, by the Church's clerical celibacy requirement. (Berry) These specialists have urged Catholic leaders to reexamine and modify their teachings about sex.\nIn \"The Naked Ape\" by Desmond Morris, homosexual behavior is reported as \"seen in situations where the ideal sexual object (a member of the opposite sex) is unavailable.\" Morris argues that if males or females are forbidden sexual access to their opposite members, they will find sexual outlets in other ways.\nPsychologists link these findings to Catholic priests and celibacy, saying that priests are required to remain celibate and taught to abhor sexual relationships with women. (Berry) Therefore, many might be more inclined to seek other outlets for their sexuality, including sexual deviances, like homosexuality or pedophilia.\nDr. Jay Feierman, a psychiatrist who has treated hundreds of pedophilic priests at a Catholic treatment center for abusive priests, believes that celibacy is an unnatural state and could result in deviant behavior. \"If you tell a man that he's not allowed to have particular friends, he's not allowed to be affectionate, he's not allowed to be in love, he's not allowed to be a sexual being, you shouldn't be surprised at anything that happens.\"\nIn view of evidence like this, it seems logical to conclude that, if priests were permitted a normal outlet for their sexuality; they would be less inclined to seek an outlet through deviant behavior.\nSIGNIFICANCE recent estimate reveals that there are currently approximately one thousand legal actions against priests alleged to have sexually abused young children. However, heads of religious orders are overlooking the issue as much as they can.\nThe Pope has stated that these incidents are heinous crimes against humanity and serious sins, but has not done anything about them. (Jenkins) Many Catholics assumed that religious leaders would immediately dismiss the culprits from priesthood, but instead, nothing happened. In fact, there have been several cases brought up recently that suggest that religious leaders have intentionally covered up evidence of sexual deviance in an attempt to protect the Catholic Church.\nBecause of the current structure of the Catholic Church, in which all authority emanates from the Vatican, only the pope is authorized to defrock a member from the priesthood. The pope's current view involving the church's priests is similar to that of a marriage vow, which means they take each other for better or worse.\nHowever, as a result of the increase in sexual misconduct charges against its priests, the pope has appointed a committee to study ways within the church's canon that might allow for priests who are found guilty of child molestation to be dismissed. Still, little has been done to punish or reprimand the guilty clergy, other than medical treatment.\nPriests who have been accused of sexual deviance are often sent to treatment centers, in which medical professional aim to make the priest acknowledge that he does have a sexual problem; accept responsibility for his sexual behavior; and understands the sequence of thoughts, feelings, events, circumstances or triggers that make up the pattern that precedes his sexually offensive behaviors.\nThe treatment of clergy sexual offenders is long and costly. In today's economic climate, there is increasing pressure within the Church to justify such high levels of expenditure, out of a limited church treasury, when treatment will seldom enable priests to return to ministry.\nThe Catholic Church has been recently hit with more allegations of clergy sexual abuse than any other faith or denomination, but clergy sexual abuse has afflicted virtually every religious denomination. In recent years priests, rabbis, ministers, and gurus have all been charged with molesting children.\nMany church critics immediately seize upon the most obvious difference between Catholic priests and other clergy: Priests are supposed to be celibate. Critics argue that the requirement for celibacy draws sexual deviants into the priesthood, and gives priests no acceptable alternatives for their sexual desires.\nThe significance of this paper is that it will show that there is no substantial evidence so far that Catholic priests or any other celibate clergy are any more likely to be involved in misconduct or abuse than clergy of any other denomination or even non-clergy.\nThe facilities available for this research project include computer labs, libraries, and bookstores.\nBerry, Jason.

The filing shows that Spotify\u2019s revenue for last year was \u20ac4.09 billion compared to \u20ac2.95 billion the previous year. The losses for last year were also higher at \u20ac1.2 billion.\nSpotify has also faced other major obstacles like competition from smartphone makers (Apple, Amazon and Google) as well as lawsuits for failing to find and pay all rights holders.\nThe Swedish company is opting for an unusual process and is well aware of how \u2018risky\u2019 its chosen alternative is. It claims that it won\u2019t sell its shares on the stock market but will instead pursue direct listing. Spotify\u2019s existing investors and insiders, like employees, can also trade their shares on the open market.\nThe company says that it is positioning itself in a benevolent light not just for the music industry but also for the fans. Spotify\u2019s prospectus summary overview states: \u2018Our mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by these creators.\u2019\nSpotify is obviously ambitious about its move. But given that it has opted for a direct listing, in addition to some of the obstacles mentioned above, might that harm its debut on the public market and make it volatile?",

        "title": "Konso tribe & village | Travel Ethiopia Omo Valley Cultural Attraction",
        "raw_content": "The Konso live in an isolated region of the basalt hills of Lower Omo Valley in Sourthern Nations province of Ethiopia. The area is made up of hard rocky slopes. A Konso village maybe fortified by a stone wall used as a defensive measure. Their village is located on hilltops and is split up into communities, with each community having a main hut. In order to enter a Konso village, you must pass through a gate and a series of alleys. These paths are part of it's security system, keeping the village difficult to access.\nKonso Cultural Lanscape has been registered as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.\nThey are mixed agriculturists using their dry and infertile lands to grow crops. Animal dung is used to fertilize the grounds and their most important crop is the sorghum. Sorghum is used as a flour and to make local beer. Grains, beans, cotton, corn and coffee are also grown by the Konso people.\nThe erection of stones and poles is part of the Konso tradition. A generation pole is raised every 18 years, marking the start of a new generation. The age of a village can be determined by how many poles are standing. Carved wooden statues are also used to mark the grave of a famous Konso tribal member. The marker, called a Waga is placed above the grave and smaller statues are then placed around the larger one representing his wives and conquered enemies.\nAlthough the Konso people have many customs dating back hundreds of years, it is not uncommon for them to be seen wearing western clothing. As newer generations grow, their traditional attire has gradually changed to modern societies. The Konso is a very interesting tribe to visit on your trip to the Lower Omo Valley.\nKonso Cultural Landscape is a 55km2 arid property of stone walled terraces and fortified settlements in the Konso highlands of Ethiopia. It constitutes a spectacular example of a living cultural tradition stretching back 21 generations (more than 400 years) adapted to its dry hostile environment. The landscape demonstrates the shared values, social cohesion and engineering knowledge of its communities. The site also features anthropomorphic wooden statues - grouped to represent respected members of their communities and particularly heroic events - which are an exceptional living testimony to funerary traditions that are on the verge of disappearing. Stone steles in the towns express a complex system of marking the passing of generations of leaders.\nThe Konso Cultural Landscape is characterized by extensive dry stone terraces bearing witness to the persistent human struggle to use and harness the hard, dry and rocky environment. The terraces retain the soil from erosion,collect a maximum of water, discharge the excess, and create terraced fields that are used for agriculture. The terraces are the main features of the Konso landscape and the hills are contoured with the dry stone walls, which at places reach up to 5 meters in height.\nThe walled towns and settlements (paletas) of the Konso Cultural Landscape are located on high plains or hill summits selected for their strategic and defensive advantage. These towns are circled by between one and six rounds of dry stone defensive walls, built of locally available rock. The cultural spaces inside the walled towns, called moras, retain an important and central role in the life of the Konso. Some walled towns have as many as 17 moras. The tradition of erecting generation marking stones called daga-hela, quarried, transported and erected through a ritual process, makes the Konso one of the last megalithic people.\nThe traditional forests are used as burial places for ritual leaders and for medicinal purposes. Wooden anthropomorphic statues (waka), carved out of a hard wood and mimicking the deceased, are erected as grave markers. Water reservoirs (harda) located in or near these forests, are communally built and are, like the terraces, maintained by very specific communal social and cultural practices.\nThe boundaries of the Konso Cultural Landscape coincide with natural features, like rivers or edges of densely terraced landscape, and are demarcated by the cultural and socio-economic history of the Konso people. All components relevant to the understanding of the traditional system have been included, such as the key tangible attributes of terraces, walled settlements, sacred forests, shrines and burial sites. The clear distinctive character of the landscape is vulnerable to dispersal of the fortified settlements, in case houses are built outside the town walls.\nThe Konso Cultural Landscape still largely retains its original form and design. The materials used for the construction of the terraces and the town walls are original and their conservation continues following traditional practices, executed by the community members. The terraces continue in their original arrangements, use and function. The walled towns are still inhabited by the communities and remain organized following the traditional system. The traditionally protected forests are still protected and used for ritual and burial and the water reservoirs remain in use and are periodically conserved. Associated traditions, which continue shaping the landscape, such as the ritual erection of generation and man-hood stones and generation trees continues to be actively practiced. The same applies for the use of the moras and the erection of wakas on the graves. The communities nurture the traditional code of respect to the culture and adherence to the age group (hela) and the ward (kanta), which is responsible for the protection and conservation of the attributes and continues the traditional guardianship.",

        "raw_content": "EXCLUSIVE: 'I can only cook two or three dishes' says Celeb MasterChef champ Alexis Conran\nALEXIS CONRAN has admitted that his culinary skill-set was far from vast before taking part - and ultimately winning - the latest series of Celebrity MasterChef.\nAlexis admits that he put a lot of energy and time into practising his dishes for the competition\nCelebrity MasterChef takes those from the world of show-business, sports and media away from their normal lives and inserts them into a kitchen. And 2016 champion Alexis Conran has been the first to admit that he was certainly no expert when it all began.\n\"I cook as much as any normal person,\" the actor told Express.co.uk. \"There's about two or three things I cook really well. But I wasn't in any way a chef. I was just happy not to be the first one out. By that point I was obsessed.\"\nFriday's finale of Celebrity MasterChef's 11th series saw judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace crown Alexis the series champion; something that has taken him by surprise more than anyone.\n\"I couldn't believe it when I got through to the semis, and then the final week,\" the 44-year-old admitted. \"I became addicted to the challenge. I am competitive by nature anyway, but when I said I'd do it I never thought I'd do it to win.\"\nThe amateur chef admits he came into the competition only really knowing how to cook two/three meals\nActor Alexis Conran crowned winner of Celebrity MasterChef 2016\nCelebrity MasterChef viewers heartbroken after Jimmy Osmond loses out\nKnown for roles in The Durrells and Waking The Dead, Alexis puts his success in the MasterChef kitchen on \"rehearsal\".\n\"It's like acting,\" he explained. \"The secret to success is rehearsing. If you work when you rehearse, you get the performance for free.\"\nAlexis admits that he put a lot of energy and time into practising his dishes for the competition, making the three-course-meal he whipped up in the finale at least three or four times beforehand.\n\"The key to success is failure,\" he said. \"You're allowed to fail when you practise at home. But there's no room for a wobble in the real thing. It happened to me when I cooked for the Chelsea Pensioners. It all nearly went south then. That was the moment I thought I'd get kicked out. When I forgot to wrap the meat in that ham!\"\nAlexis Conran wins Celeb MasterChef 2016\nThe star of The Real Hustle said he's looking forward to returning to the show next year, as past champions do, to critique whoever the next batch of celebrities will be. He admitted that he'll be happy to take part without the pressure of the competition though.\nBut of the immediate future, he plans to wrap filming on the upcoming series of The Durrells and take a holiday to his native Greece.\n\"I'll be taking my notebook,\" he said. \"I'd like to see what I can do with cooking next. Perhaps a show on Greek food?\"\nMore than anything, the 2016 champion is excited about being able to acknowledge the fact that he has won - something he had to keep to himself for a long time.\n\"We filmed it months ago,\" he said. \"And it's a really well-guarded secret. Hardly anyone's allowed to know. I told my family because I had to but none of my friends. They would all ask 'how did you do?' So it feels good not to have to lie to them anymore.\"\nCelebrity MasterChef: Reverend Richard Coles fails to make the final\nGregg Wallace dubs Louise Minchin 'The Iron Lady' of Celeb MasterChef\nGregg Wallace: It wasn\u2019t difficult picking Celeb MasterChef 2016 champ",

MacMahon, of Irish descent, fought in the Algerian campaign, in the Crimean War, and in the Italian war of 1859. For his victory at Magenta (1859), Napoleon III created him duke of Magenta. He was governor-general (1864\u201370) of Algeria and a commander in the Franco-Prussian War , taking part in the battle resulting in the great defeat of the French at Sedan (1870). He aided (1871) in the bloody suppression of the Commune of Paris . A monarchist, he was chosen by the monarchist majority in the national assembly to succeed Adolphe Thiers in 1873 as president of France for a seven-year term. MacMahon inaugurated measures designed to repress the republicans but was unwilling to go to the illegal extremes necessary to reestablish a monarchy. This reluctance, as well as dissension among the monarchists, served to preserve the Third Republic, and France received its new constitution in the organic laws of 1875. On May 16 ( le Seize Mai ), 1877, MacMahon precipitated a crisis by forcing the republican premier, Jules Simon , to resign, although Simon had the support of the newly elected (1876) chamber of deputies, which had a republican majority. MacMahon appointed a royalist cabinet, dissolved the chamber of deputies, and ordered new elections; this was the only time during the Third Republic that the chamber was dissolved. Despite a Republican victory in the elections in Oct., 1877, MacMahon again named a royalist ministry. He was finally forced (December) to accept a ministry that had the approval of the chamber of deputies. This incident established the principle of ministerial responsibility to the chamber rather than to the president, thus limiting presidential power in the Third Republic. Involved in continuing conflict with the chamber of deputies, MacMahon resigned in Jan., 1879, before the end of his seven-year term. Jules Gr\u00e9vy succeeded him.",

        "raw_content": "Missouri: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revision\nThis final authorization will become effective on April 28, 2000 unless EPA receives adverse written comment by March 29, 2000. If EPA receives such comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal of this immediate final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public that this authorization will not take effect.\nF. What Has Missouri Previously Been Authorized For?\nH. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules?\nJ. What Is Codification and Is the EPA Codifying Missouri's Hazardous Waste Program as Authorized in This Rule?\nK. Regulatory Analysis and Notices\nSubmission to Congress and the Comptroller General\nMissouri has applied to EPA for final authorization of the changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization, and is authorizing the state's changes through this immediate final action. EPA is publishing this rule to authorize the changes without a prior proposal because we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect opposing comments. Unless we get written comments which oppose this authorization during the comment period, the decision to authorize Missouri's changes to its hazardous waste program will take effect as provided below. If we get comments that oppose this action, we will publish a document in the Federal Register withdrawing this rule before it takes effect. A separate document in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register will serve as a proposal to authorize the changes.\nSend written comments to Heather Hamilton, U.S. EPA Region VII, ARTD/RESP, 901 North 5th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. We must receive your comments by March 29, 2000. You can view and copy Missouri's application during normal business hours at the following address: Hazardous Waste Program, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0176 (573) 751-3176.\nHeather Hamilton, U.S. EPA Region VII, ARTD/RESP, 901 North 5th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. (913) 551-7039.\nStates which have received final authorization from EPA under RCRA section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must maintain a hazardous waste program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less stringent than the Federal program. As the Federal program changes, states must change their programs and ask EPA to authorize the changes. Changes to state programs may be necessary when Federal or state statutory or regulatory authority is modified or when certain other changes occur. Most commonly, states must change their programs because of changes to EPA's regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 124, 260 through 266, 268, 270, 273, and 279.\nWe conclude that Missouri's application to revise its authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we grant Missouri final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in the authorization application. Missouri has responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) within its borders and for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA program described in its revised program application, subject to the limitations of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). New Federal requirements and prohibitions imposed by Federal regulations that EPA promulgates under the authority of HSWA take effect in authorized states before they are authorized for the requirements. Thus, EPA will implement those requirements and prohibitions in Missouri, including issuing permits, until the state is granted authorization to do so.\nThe effect of this decision is that a facility in Missouri subject to RCRA will now have to comply with the authorized state requirements instead of the equivalent Federal requirements in order to comply with RCRA. Missouri has enforcement responsibilities under its state hazardous waste program for violations of such program, but EPA retains its authority under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003 which include, among others, authority to:\nDo inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or reports,\nThis action does not impose additional requirements on the regulated community because the regulations for which Missouri is being authorized by today's action are already effective, and are not changed by today's action.\nEPA did not publish a proposal before today's rule because we view this as a routine program change and do not expect comments that oppose this approval. We are providing an opportunity for public comment now. In addition to this rule, in the proposed rules section of today's Federal Register we are publishing a separate document that proposes to authorize the state program changes.\nIf EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization, we will withdraw this rule by publishing a document in Start Printed Page 10406the Federal Register before this rule becomes effective. EPA will base any further decision on the authorization of the state program changes on the proposal mentioned in the previous paragraph. We will then address all public comments in a later final rule. You may not have another opportunity to comment. If you want to comment on this authorization, you must do so at this time.\nIf we receive comments that oppose only the authorization of a particular change to the state hazardous waste program, we will withdraw that part of this rule but the authorization of the program changes that the comments do not oppose will become effective on the date specified above. The Federal Register withdrawal document will specify which part of the authorization will become effective, and which part is being withdrawn.\nOn November 20, 1985, EPA published a Federal Register notice announcing its decision to grant final authorization for the RCRA base program to the State of Missouri which became effective December 12, 1985 (50 FR 47740). Missouri received authorization for revisions to its program as follows: February 27, 1989, effective April 28, 1989 (54 FR 8190); January 11, 1993, effective March 12, 1993 (58 FR 3497) and on May 30, 1997, effective July 29, 1997 (62 FR 29301). On January 7, 1998, (63 FR 683) a correction was made to the May 30, 1997 (62 FR 29301) notice to correct the effective date of the rule to be consistent with sections 801 and 808 of the Congressional Review Act, enacted as part of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. Additionally, the state adopted and applied for interim authorization for the corrective action portion of the HSWA Codification Rule (July 15, 1985, 50 FR 28702). For a full discussion of the HSWA Codification Rule, the reader is referred to the Federal Register cited above. The state was granted interim authorization for the corrective action portion on February 23, 1994, effective April 25, 1994 (50 FR 8544). Final authorization for corrective action was granted on May 4, 1999, effective July 5, 1999 (64 FR 23740).\nOn August 25, 1999, Missouri submitted a final complete program revision application, seeking authorization of its changes in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We now make an immediate final decision, subject to receipt of written comments that oppose this action, that Missouri's hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. Therefore, we grant Missouri final authorization for the following program changes and revisions:\nFR date and page\nState rule\u20091\n80\u2014Toxicity Characteristic: Hydrocarbon Recovery Operations 55 FR 40834-40837, 10/5/90;

Each new surface impoundment shall be constructed with a double liner as required in 40 CFR 264.221(c), incorporated in this rule in accordance with the additional requirements in subparagraphs (2)(K)1.C. and D. of the state's rule.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(K)1.C. This state regulation imposes stricter standards with regard to what the lower component of the composite liner must consist of that is required by 40 CFR 264.221(c) which is incorporated by reference.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(K)1.D. This state regulation requires the leak detection system required by 40 CFR 264.221(c)(2) to cover the entire sides and bottom of the surface impoundment, whereas 264.221(c)(2) requires the leak detection system to be installed between the liners, and immediately above the bottom composite liner in the case of multiple leachate collection and removal systems.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(K)1.E., 7.264(2)(L)2.E., and 7.264(2)(N)2.F. When liquids are detected in a leak detection system, Missouri regulations require an owner/operator to notify the department within 30 days of the event, and to continue to operate and maintain the leak detection system so that liquids are removed as they accumulate or with sufficient frequency to prevent backwater within the system, and to implement leachate monitoring requirements in accordance with 7.264(2)(K)1.F. for surface impoundments, 7.264(2)(L)2.F. for waste piles, or 7.264(2)(N)2.G. for landfills. The Federal regulations do not contain these requirements.\nMissouri's CSR 10-25.7.264(2)(K)1.F.(I), 7.264(2)(L)2.F.(I), and 7.264(2)(N)2.G.(I). These state regulations require the owner operator who is required under 7.264 (2)(K)(1)E., 7.264 (2)(L)2.E., or 7.264 (2)(N)2.F. to initiate leachate monitoring to remove any accumulated leachate in the leak detection system collection sumps at least weekly during active life and closure periods. Whereas, 40 CFR 264.221(c)(3), 264.251(c)(4), and 264.301(c)(4) do not impose a time requirement and merely require the owner/operator to collect and remove pumpable liquids in the leak detection system sumps to minimize the head on the bottom liner.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(K)1.F.(II), 7.264 (2)(L)1.F.(II), and 7.264(2)(N)2.G.(II). These state regulations require owner/operator to analyze the leachate at least annually. The Federal regulations do not contain this requirement.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(L)2.B. Each new waste pile shall be constructed with a double liner as required in 40 CFR 264.251(c), incorporated in this rule, and in accordance with the additional requirements in subparagraphs (2)(L)2.C. and D. of the state's rule.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(L)2.C. This state regulation imposes stricter standards with regard to what the lower component of the composite liner must consist of that is required by 40 CFR 264.251(c), which is incorporated.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(L)2.D. This state regulation requires the leak detection system required by 40 CFR 264.251(c)(3) to be capable of detecting leaks from the entire area of the waste pile, whereas 264.251(c)(3) requires the leak detection system to be capable of detecting leaks through all areas of the top liner likely to be exposed to waste or leachate during the active life and post-closure care period.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(L)3.A. In addition to recording the amount of liquids removed from each leak detection system sump at least once per week during the active life and closure period, as required by 40 CFR 264.254(c), the owner/operator shall record the amount of liquids removed from each leachate collection/removal system sump at the same frequency.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(N)2.B. Each new landfill shall Start Printed Page 10409be constructed with a double liner as required in 40 CFR 264.301(c), incorporated in this rule, and in accordance with the additional requirements in subparagraphs (2)(N)2.C. of the state's rule.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(N)2.C. This state regulation imposes stricter standards with regard to what the lower component of the composite liner must consist of that is required by 40 CFR 264.301(c), which is incorporated.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(N)2.E. This state regulation requires the leak detection system required by 40 CFR 264.301(c)(3) to be capable of detecting leaks from the entire sides and bottom of each cell, whereas 264.301(c)(3) requires the leak detection system to be capable of detecting leaks through all areas of the top liner likely to be exposed to waste or leachate during the active life and post-closure care period.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(H)6. This state regulation modifies the requirements for letters of credit per 40 CFR 264.143(d), 264.145(d), and 264.147(h) which are incorporated. The Missouri regulation provides that letters of credit shall be issued by a state-or Federally-chartered and regulated bank or trust association. This state regulation also states that if the issuing institution is not located in Missouri, a bank or trust association located in Missouri shall confirm the letter of credit and the confirmation and the letter of credit shall be filed with the department.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(H)7. An owner/operator of a facility that is a commercial facility may not satisfy financial assurance requirements for closure, post-closure, or liability coverage, or any combination of these, by the use of a financial test as specified in 40 CFR 264.143(f), 264.145(f), or 264.147(h), which are incorporated.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(H)8. This state regulation modifies the requirements for closure insurance per 40 CFR 264.143(e), post-closure insurance per 264.145(e), liability coverage for sudden accidental occurrences per 264.147(a)(1), and liability coverage for non-sudden accidental occurrences per 264.147(b)(1), which are all incorporated. The state regulation provides that each insurance policy shall be issued by an insurer which, at a minimum, is licensed to transact the business of insurance or is eligible to provide insurance as an excess or surplus lines insurer in Missouri. In contrast, the Federal regulations require the insurer to be licensed or eligible to provide insurance as an excess or surplus lines insurer in one of more states.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(H)9., 7.264(2)(H)10., and 7.264(2)(H)11. Missouri incorporates the cited Federal regulations (40 CFR 264.143(f), 264.145(f) and 264.147(g)) but deletes from them the phrase, \u201cor a firm with a \u2018substantial business relationship,\u2019 with the owner or operator.\u201d Missouri does not recognize a \u201csubstantial business relationship,\u201d and deletes it from the incorporation wherever it occurs in the three CFR provisions noted.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.265(2)(H)5. This state regulation modifies the requirements for letters of credit per 40 CFR 265.143(c), 265.145(c), and 265.147(h), which are incorporated. The Missouri regulation provides that letters of credit shall be issued by a state-or Federally-chartered and regulated bank or trust association. The state regulation also states that if the issuing institution is not located in Missouri, a bank or trust association located in Missouri shall confirm the letter of credit and the confirmation and the letter of credit shall be filed with the department.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.265(2)(H)6. An owner/operator of a facility that is a commercial TSDF may not satisfy financial assurance requirements for closure, post-closure, or liability coverage, or any combination of these, by the use of a financial test as specified in 40 CFR 265.143(e), 265.145(e), or 265.147(f), which are incorporated.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.265(2)(H)7. This state regulation modifies the requirements for closure insurance per 40 CFR 265.143(d), post-closure insurance per 265.145(d), liability coverage for sudden accidental occurrences per 265.147(a)(1), and liability coverage for non-sudden accidental occurrences per 265.147(b)(1), which are all incorporated. The state regulation provides that each insurance policy shall be issued by an insurer which, at a minimum, is licensed to transact the business of insurance or is eligible to provide insurance as an excess or surplus lines insurer in Missouri. In contrast, the Federal regulations require the insurer to be licensed or eligible to provide insurance as an excess or surplus lines insurer in one or more states.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 7.265(2)(H)8., 7.265(2)(H)9., and 7.265(2)(H)10. Missouri incorporates the cited Federal regulations (40 CFR 265 265.143(e), 265.145(e), and 265.147(g)), but deletes from them the phrase, \u201cor a firm with a \u201csubstantial business relationship,\u2019 with the owner or operator.\u201d Missouri does not recognize \u201ca substantial business relationship,\u201d and deletes it from the incorporation wherever it occurs in the three CFR provisions noted.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 3.260(2)(B). 40 CFR 260, Subpart C, Rulemaking Petitions, is not incorporated in this rule; 3.260(2)(B) provides that not more than 60 days after promulgation of the final federal determination, the department shall approve or disapprove all delistings granted under 40 CFR 260.20 or 260.22. If the department fails to take action within that 60-day time frame, the delistings shall be deemed approved.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-7.264(2)(B)1. In addition to the requirements in 40 CFR 264.12(a) incorporated in this rule, an owner/operator shall submit a separate analysis for each hazardous waste that he/she intends to import.\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-4.261(2)(A)11.C. Missouri regulations specify that a process, procedure, method, or technology is considered on-site treatment, for the purposes of 40 CFR 261.5(f)(3) and 261.5(g)(3), as incorporated in this rule, only if the process, procedure, method or technology reduces the hazardous characteristics and/or the quantity of hazardous waste; and the process, procedure, method, or technology does not result in off-site emissions of any hazardous waste or constituent. These criteria provide a more specific definition of on-site treatment than the Federal analog and are, therefore, more stringent.\nThe following state requirement goes beyond the scope of the Federal program:\nMissouri's 10 CSR 25-4.261(2)(A)(8). The state rule does not incorporate 40 CFR 261.4(a)(11), which excludes from the definition of solid waste non-wastewater splash condenser dross residue from the treatment of K061 in high temperature metals recovery units, provided it is shipped in drums (if shipped) and not land disposed before recovery. Because the state regulation provides fewer exceptions, it is broader in scope.\nBroader-in-scope requirements are not part of the authorized program and EPA can not enforce them. Although you must comply with these requirements in accordance with state law, they are not RCRA requirements. Start Printed Page 10410\nMissouri will issue permits for all the provisions for which it is authorized and will administer the permits it issues. EPA will continue to administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits or portions of permits which we issued prior to the effective date of this authorization. We will not issue any more new permits or new portions of permits for the provisions listed in the Table above after the effective date of this authorization. EPA will continue to implement and issue permits for HSWA requirements for which Missouri is not yet authorized.\nCodification is the process of placing the state's statutes and regulations that comprise the state's authorized hazardous waste program into the CFR. We do this by referencing the authorized state rules in 40 CFR part 272. We reserve the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart AA for this authorization of Missouri's program changes until a later date.\nEPA has determined that section 202 and 205 requirements do not apply to today's action because this rule does not contain a Federal mandate that may result in annual expenditures of $100 million or more for state, local, and/or tribal governments in the aggregate, or the private sector. Costs to state, local and/or tribal governments already exist under the Missouri program, and today's action does not impose any additional obligations on regulated entities. In fact, EPA's approval of state programs generally may reduce, not increase, compliance costs for the private sector. Further, as it applies to the state, this action does not impose a Federal intergovernmental mandate because UMRA does not include duties arising from participation in a voluntary Federal program.\nThe Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the SBREFA of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in today's Federal Register. This rule is not a \u201cmajor rule\u201d as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).\nExecutive Order 13132, entitled \u201cFederalism\u201d (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure \u201cmeaningful and timely input by state and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have Federalism implications.\u201d \u201cPolicies that have Federalism implications\u201d is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that have \u201csubstantial direct Start Printed Page 10411effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.\u201d\nThis authorization does not have Federalism implications. It will not have a substantial direct effect on states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132, because this rule affects only one state. This action simply approves Missouri's proposal to be authorized for updated requirements of the hazardous waste program that the state has voluntarily chosen to operate. Further, as a result of this action, newly authorized provisions of the state's program now apply in Missouri in lieu of the equivalent Federal program provisions implemented by EPA under HSWA. Affected parties are subject only to those authorized state program provisions, as opposed to being subject to both Federal and state regulatory requirements. Thus, the requirements of section 6 of the Executive Order do not apply.\nThis rule is not subject to Executive Order 13084 because it does not significantly or uniquely affects the communities of Indian tribal governments. Missouri is not authorized to implement the RCRA hazardous waste program in Indian country. This action has no effect on the hazardous waste program that EPA implements in the Indian country within the state.\nSection 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (\u201cNTTAA\u201d), Public Law No. 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.\nWilliam Rice,",

You may access all documents the FAA considered in developing this policy statement, including any analysis or technical reports, from the internet through the Federal eRulemaking Portal referenced in paragraph (1).\nOn July 24, 2004, the final rule, Certification of Aircraft and Airmen for the Operation of Light-Sport Aircraft, was published in the Federal Register (69 FR 44772). The rule established requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates for light-sport category aircraft under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) \u00a7\u200921.190, Issue of special airworthiness certificates for light-sport category aircraft. Additionally, the rule established procedures for the airworthiness certification of these aircraft in accordance with industry-developed consensus standards. Through the use of consensus standards, the FAA believed that light-sport aircraft (LSA) could be designed, manufactured, and certificated with less FAA oversight than that required for an aircraft manufactured under type and production certification procedures.\nPersons presenting an aircraft for airworthiness certification in the light-sport category must provide the FAA with a Statement of Compliance (FAA Form 8130-15) issued by the aircraft's manufacturer indicating that the aircraft meets the provisions of an identified consensus standard that has been accepted by the FAA. Additionally, an aircraft presented for airworthiness certification as SLSA must be inspected to determine that it is in a condition for safe operation. This inspection is accomplished after the aircraft has been completed but before issuance of the airworthiness certificate. The airworthiness certification process also requires a review of the applicant's documentation supplied with the aircraft, which includes the manufacturer's Statement of Compliance.\nWhen originally proposing the rule, the FAA noted that an aircraft presented for airworthiness certification would be inspected by the FAA (or an FAA-designated representative) to determine that it is in a condition for safe operation. The person conducting the inspection would rely upon the manufacturer's Statement of Compliance to assist in determining that the aircraft meets the applicable consensus standards. At the time that the rule was originally proposed, the FAA indicated that it would follow this course of action unless FAA experience with a manufacturer dictated otherwise (67 FR 5378; February 5, 2002). This intent remained unchanged with publication of the final rule.\nAs the number of aircraft certificated as SLSA rapidly grew, the FAA determined that it was appropriate to conduct an assessment to evaluate the health, state of systems implementation, and compliance of the SLSA industry. From September 2008 through March 2009, the Aircraft Certification Service, Production and Airworthiness Division (AIR-200) conducted an assessment of SLSA manufacturers by evaluating their systems and processes through on-site evaluation, analysis, and reporting.\nThe FAA assessment team collected data from SLSA manufacturers (including their extensions and distributors located in the United States) regarding compliance with applicable regulations and standards. After reviewing this data the team recommended enhancements to industry consensus standards for LSA design, manufacturing, continued airworthiness, and maintenance. It also made recommendations for changes to agency internal processes and procedures. A copy of the report can be found in the docket for this notice.\nAmong the report's conclusions, the FAA found that the majority of the manufacturing facilities evaluated could not fully substantiate that the aircraft for which they had issued Statements of Compliance did, in fact, meet the consensus standards identified in those documents. Therefore, the FAA could not determine that aircraft for which these statements were issued actually met the provisions of the identified consensus standards.\nThe assessment raised concerns that the SLSA airworthiness certification process, as originally envisioned, does not always achieve its intended purpose. Additionally, the FAA was particularly concerned that SLSA manufacturers have not been sufficiently verifying that their continued airworthiness systems are functioning properly. The FAA has determined that its original policy of reliance on manufacturers' Statements of Compliance for the issuance of airworthiness certificates for SLSA under the provisions of \u00a7\u200921.190 should be reconsidered and that more FAA involvement in the airworthiness certification process for SLSA is warranted.\nThe FAA notes that a manufacturer's Statement of Compliance presented during the airworthiness certification process for an SLSA must contain a statement that at the request of the FAA, the manufacturer will provide unrestricted access to its facilities. The Statement of Compliance, when signed by the aircraft's manufacturer, sets forth the manufacturer's consent to FAA inspection of its facilities and constitutes an assertion that the information contained in the document is true. If, upon examination, the FAA finds that the manufacturer's statements are not accurate, an airworthiness certificate will not be issued for that SLSA until it has been demonstrated that the aircraft meets the identified consensus standards and that the manufacturer is able to comply with the provisions of its Statement of Compliance. SLSA manufacturers signing a Statement of Compliance must ultimately be able to demonstrate their ability to carry out those functions and responsibilities referenced in the statement to the satisfaction of the FAA, and meet all other relevant airworthiness certification requirements.\nThe current process for airworthiness certification of SLSA is described in FAA Order 8130.2, Airworthiness Certification of Aircraft and Related Products. The process includes reviewing the applicant's documentation supplied with the aircraft, and verifying it agrees with the identification and description of the aircraft and that it conforms to applicable regulations. The FAA considers an SLSA manufacturer to be a person who not only can attest to meeting the provisions of 14 CFR 21.190, but who can demonstrate these abilities to the satisfaction of the FAA. A person who cannot demonstrate these abilities, or complete the manufacturer's Statement of Compliance would not be considered a manufacturer.\nThe Statement of Compliance issued for an SLSA in accordance with \u00a7\u200921.190(c), by an SLSA manufacturer, must:\n(1) Identify the aircraft by make and model, serial number, class, date of manufacture, and consensus standard used;\n(2) State that the aircraft meets the provisions of the identified consensus standard;\n(3) State that the aircraft conforms to the manufacturer's design data, using the manufacturer's quality assurance system that meets the identified consensus standard;\n(4) State that the manufacturer will make available to any interested person the following documents that meet the identified consensus standard:\n(i) The aircraft's operating instructions.\n(ii) The aircraft's maintenance and inspection procedures.\n(iii) The aircraft's flight training supplement.\n(5) State that the manufacturer will monitor and correct safety-of-flight issues through the issuance of safety directives and a continued airworthiness system that meets the identified consensus standard;\n(6) State that at the request of the FAA, the manufacturer will provide unrestricted access to its facilities; and\n(7) State that the manufacturer, in accordance with a production acceptance test procedure that meets an applicable consensus standard has\u2014\n(i) Ground and flight tested the aircraft;\n(ii) Found the aircraft performance acceptable; and\n(iii) Determined that the aircraft is in a condition for safe operation.\nIf a manufacturer cannot demonstrate it can perform the functions specified in the Statement of Compliance for an SLSA or cannot substantiate that those functions have been (or can be, as appropriate) accomplished, the FAA would not consider that person to be the manufacturer of the aircraft intended for airworthiness certification as an SLSA.\nPersons providing the FAA with a Statement of Compliance must understand the implications of making the statement. The FAA expects the Statement of Compliance to reflect the manufacturer's understanding of its responsibilities, its capability to execute those responsibilities fully, and a commitment to meeting its obligations in the future.\nThe FAA is particularly concerned that manufacturers issuing a Statement of Compliance have a system to monitor and correct safety-of-flight issues. The manufacturer therefore must be able to monitor and notify operators to correct unsafe conditions for as long as these aircraft are U.S.-registered. The manufacturer also is responsible for issuing corrective actions in accordance with its program to monitor and correct safety-of-flight issues and must notify the owners of the affected aircraft of these corrective actions. To ensure the success of the FAA's program for SLSA airworthiness certification, the FAA expects manufacturers to implement a vigorous system to monitor and correct safety-of-flight issues.\nSLSA manufacturers must be able to provide for the continued operational safety of their aircraft. In order to meet this obligation, which the manufacturer has accepted through its issuance of a Statement of Compliance, it must maintain adequate engineering data and engineering staff to monitor and correct safety-of-flight issues affecting the aircraft. This continuing obligation is incurred by both manufacturers who have issued Statements of Compliance for aircraft that are currently certificated as SLSA and manufacturers who have issued Statements of Compliance for aircraft being presented for airworthiness certification.\nIf, during the FAA's examination of an aircraft, it finds that the aircraft was received from a location outside the United States and only assembled within the United States, the requirements of 14 CFR 21.190(d) must be met for the aircraft to be considered eligible for an airworthiness certificate. This is further clarified in the following section.\nAircraft intended for airworthiness certification as SLSA that have been manufactured outside the United States must be manufactured in country with which the United States has a Bilateral Airworthiness Agreement concerning airplanes, a Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement with associated Implementation Procedures for Airworthiness concerning airplanes, or an equivalent airworthiness agreement. The aircraft must also be eligible for an airworthiness certificate, flight authorization, or other similar certification in its country of manufacture. These requirements are set forth in 14 CFR 21.190(d).\nDuring the recent assessment, the FAA identified several anomalies involving aircraft manufactured outside the United States. These included:\nAircraft manufactured outside the United States that were shipped disassembled to the United States, and assembled by U.S. persons who declared themselves to be the U.S. manufacturers. The FAA found that some aircraft were manufactured in countries with a bilateral agreement and some were not. In both situations, the U.S persons who performed the assembly did not, or could not, carry out the functions to which they attested in their Statements of Compliance for the aircraft.\nAircraft manufactured in countries without bilateral agreements that were \u201cpassed through\u201d a country with which the U.S. has a bilateral agreement. A person in the country with which the U.S. has a bilateral agreement completed the Statement of Compliance before shipping the aircraft to the United States. Again, these persons did not, or could not, carry out the functions to which they attested in their Statements of Compliance for the aircraft.\nAircraft for which a foreign entity claimed responsibility for certain aspects of the Statement of Compliance and a U.S. person claimed responsibility for the remaining aspects, thereby splitting the manufacturer's responsibility between two distinct persons; and\nAircraft manufactured in countries with appropriate bilateral agreements by entities that would ship the aircraft to a U.S. distributor. Neither the U.S. distributor nor the foreign entity could maintain a program to correct safety-of-flight issues as attested to in the aircraft's Statement of Compliance.\nThe assessment clearly identified that aircraft have been supplied to U.S. persons who lack the ability to reasonably attest to the provisions set forth in \u00a7\u200921.190(c). Additionally, U.S. persons have been providing the FAA with a manufacturer's Statement of Compliance identifying themselves as the U.S. manufacturer of an aircraft when the aircraft was in fact produced outside the United States. These situations are not in compliance with the regulations. The FAA did not intend for U.S. persons to receive disassembled LSA from outside the United States, reassemble them within the United States, and characterize themselves as the U.S. manufacturer of an SLSA. As these persons cannot substantiate the information contained in the Statement of Compliance, the FAA does not consider them to be the manufacturers of the aircraft. Accordingly, the FAA will not issue airworthiness certificates in the light-sport category for these aircraft.\nAdditionally, persons who are unable to make available the documents required by the consensus standards and regulations, do not have the systems in place to monitor and correct safety-of-flight issues, or are unable to adequately ensure the continued airworthiness of the aircraft they assemble, would not be able to sign a Statement of Compliance as a manufacturer. The FAA also notes that any person who makes any fraudulent, intentionally false, or misleading statement on the Statement of Compliance could be found to be in violation of 14 CFR 21.2.\nThe FAA recognizes that it may be possible for a U.S. person to receive portions of a LSA from an entity outside the United States that is acting as a supplier to the U.S. SLSA manufacturer. If this person signs a Statement of Compliance, this person is asserting that the declarations made in the statement are true, and that the person can fulfill the responsibilities set forth in that statement. While some of the U.S. SLSA manufacturers can meet this standard; the FAA has concerns that many cannot substantiate the declarations made in their Statement of Compliance when the majority of the production activity for the aircraft takes place outside the United States.\nThe provisions of \u00a7\u200921.190(d) were enacted to ensure that a bilateral agreement would exist which would provide the FAA with a means, if necessary, to seek assistance from local civil aviation authorities on any issues affecting the design, production, continued airworthiness, or other matters needing investigation or analysis (69 FR 44806). Any attempts to circumvent the provisions of \u00a7\u200921.190(d) significantly hinder the FAA's ability to address safety issues affecting aircraft certificated as SLSA.\nThe FAA's actions are intended to ensure compliance with existing regulations and enhance the safety of the existing and future SLSA fleet. The FAA recognizes that these actions may impact existing SLSA manufacturers as well as those persons intending to initiate SLSA production. The FAA has established a Frequently Asked Questions page at http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/ to assist current manufacturers in assessing their own capabilities, and ensuring that the Statements of Compliance they issue are accurate.\nAircraft that were issued an airworthiness certificate prior to the effective date of this notice are not affected by this policy statement provided all other applicable requirements are met.\nThe FAA recognizes that upon implementation of this policy, some entities who have claimed to be SLSA manufacturers may not be able to issue a valid Statement of Compliance, and that other entities may not be willing to assume responsibility for continuing operational safety requirements. Therefore, aircraft within the existing fleets from these manufacturers may no longer be eligible to retain their airworthiness certification as SLSA. These aircraft, however, may be eligible for airworthiness certification as experimental light-sport aircraft (ELSA). The FAA does not intend to accept continued operational safety responsibility for an SLSA whose manufacturer no longer exists or is unable or unwilling to assume that responsibility. The FAA also recognizes that some aircraft that are primarily manufactured outside the United States and assembled in the United States may be found to be ineligible for airworthiness certification as SLSA or ELSA.\nFrank P. Paskiewicz,\nDeputy Director, Aircraft Certification Service.",

        "raw_content": "Home [english] Region Europe & Central Asia Georgia Redress for victims of (...)\nRedress for victims of the 2008 war depends on efficient ICC investigations and genuine national proceedings\nen fr ka\n\u00a9 FIDH\n(Paris-Tbilisi) From 23 to 27 April 2016, FIDH and Human Rights Center (HRIDC) conducted a joint evaluation mission in Georgia in the context of the opening of the investigation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) into international crimes committed in Georgia during the 2008 war. The delegation met with war-affected communities and representatives of national authorities, Georgian civil society organisations and victims\u2019 lawyers. Following the recently opened ICC investigation, our organisations recall the importance of national authorities\u2019 full cooperation with the Court and of effective national proceedings to ensure long-awaited truth, justice and reparation for victims.\n\"There is a great need to reach out to victims and conflict affected communities to explain the mandate and possibilities of the ICC. The awareness of Georgian general public about the ICC should be raised and the capacity of Georgian authorities and civil society strengthened, which is essential for a meaningful impact of ICC proceedings at national level\"\nNino Tlashadze, HRIDC Deputy Executive Director.\nDuring the delegation\u2019s visit to the area adjacent to the administrative borderline with South Ossetia, including to Ergneti village, our organisations were able to confirm victims\u2019 strive for justice and reparation that is reinforced by the economic, social and psychological consequences of the armed conflict that, eight years after, still affect them and have not been adequately addressed. Villagers also expressed their support to reconciliation efforts between war-affected communities, which is unfortunately undermined by the persisting climate of insecurity for the inhabitants of the borderline areas. Indeed, hostage takings of civilians still occur and the construction of barbed-wire frontiers and fences, which actually moved the Russia controlled administration borderline further into Georgia controlled territories, causing new property and land losses for the local population, only reinforce this climate.\n\"The importance of ICC investigation cannot be overestimated in the region. It sends the signal that disputed entities, like South Ossetia, cannot be zones of impunity and that those most responsible for these crimes must be held accountable\"\nKarim Lahidji, FIDH President.\nOur organisations also reiterate the need for national authorities to fully cooperate with the ICC, which will essentially target those who bear the greatest responsibility for the crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during the 2008 war. At the same time, it is essential that Georgian authorities ensure effective national investigations and prosecutions of all those responsible, thus ensuring victims\u2019 genuine access to justice. Yet only a minority of victims are said to have been granted victims status in national judicial proceedings and victims\u2019 lawyers, whom FIDH met, reported not having access to the case files, preventing them from assessing and acting upon the effectiveness of national proceedings.\nClashes between the Georgian army and South Ossetian paramilitary groups escalated in the early days of August 2008, leading to an intervention by the armed forces of the Russian Federation on the side of South Ossetia on 10 August 2008. By 12 August 2008 a ceasefire had been negotiated, though crimes continued to be committed. Russia agreed to withdraw its forces by 10 October 2008.\nAccording to the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Conflict in Georgia (IIFFMCM), approximately 850 civilians were killed in the conflict while upwards of 100,000 people were forced to flee their homes.\nIn 2008, the ICC Office of the Prosecutor opened a preliminary examination related to the conflict in Georgia as it was still ongoing. The conflict notably led to the forcible displacement of tens of thousands of ethnic Georgians. Investigation and prosecution of such massive displacement would be an important first for the ICC.\nAfter examining the ICC Prosecutor\u2019s request of 13 October 2015 to open an investigation, supported by submissions made on behalf of 6,335 victims, the ICC Pre-Trial Chamber concluded that \"there is a reasonable basis to believe that crimes within the ICC\u2019s jurisdiction have been committed\" in and around South Ossetia and that an investigation should be opened. Such crimes include crimes against humanity, such as murder, forcible transfer of population and persecution, and war crimes, such as attacks against the civilian population, wilful killing, intentionally directing attacks against peacekeepers, destruction of property and pillaging allegedly committed in the context of an international armed conflict between 1 July and 10 October 2008.\nHRIDC - Human Rights Center\nMember organisations - Georgia\nIn Memoriam of Vitaly Safarov, Georgian Human Rights Defender\nThe EU Must Not Let Sudanese Victims Down: do not Ignore the Pending ICC Arrest Warrants Against...\nAfter the rose, the thorns: Political prisoners in post-revolutionary Georgia",

        "raw_content": "Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a rare, painful and chronic inflammation of the wall of the urinary bladder. In case of interstitial cystitis, the wall of the urinary bladder is irritated, making it stretch less easily and decrease the capacity of the bladder. As a result, a person sooner feels that the bladder is full and thus has urge.\nInterstitial cystitis often occurs spontaneously. Sometimes, the disease is the result of a severe bladder infection or surgery, for example to the uterus or prostate. The cause of the disease is still unclear. Bacteria don\u2019t play a role. The inflammation possibly occurs because the immune system produces antibodies against its own urine (autoimmune response).\nInitially, the symptoms are the same as for an ordinary bladder infection. They can gradually get worse. The signs and symptoms of interstitial cystitis are:\nPeeing often.\nConstantly feeling urge.\nAbdominal pain, radiating to the back, groin or legs.\nBladder pain, especially when the bladder is fuller. Peeing reduces this pain.\nPain when holding one\u2019s water.\nPainful urethra.\nStabbing pain in the vagina (in women).\nBurning sensation in the area around the genitals.\nHormonal changes in women can increase the symptoms. Those changes occur, for example, by taking the pill, menopause or menstruation.\nInterstitial cystitis can be very troublesome in daily life. Because the symptoms also occur overnight, the condition can lead to sleep deprivation and exhaustion. Outdoor activities are becoming increasingly difficult, because a person with interstitial cystitis often needs to go to the toilet.\nThe diagnosis of interstitial cystitis is difficult to determine and can only be made when other causes, such as an ordinary bacterial bladder infection, don\u2019t play a role. Sometimes, the urologist decides to look inside the bladder with an endoscope (cystoscopy). In case of an interstitial cystitis, the doctor can usually see some small bleedings in the bladder wall. Via this endoscope, a small piece of tissue (a biopsy) can be taken from the bladder wall. Then so-called \u2018mast cells\u2019 can be seen. These are cells that are loaded with dirty molecules, which are secreted by these cells into the bladder wall.\nInterstitial cystitis cannot be cured, but there are treatments to reduce the symptoms:\nPain medication and anti-inflammatories. Medication will relax the bladder and reduce the urge.\nNeurostimulation (PTNS). With PTNS, the nerves that run to the bladder are stimulated by electrical impulses, often causing the urge to be reduced.\nBladder rinsings inhibit the inflammations and restore the sugar layer.\nThe pain sites and ulcers in the bladder can be treated with laser.\nBotox injections in the bladder mucosa. This is done in the operating room.\nIn some cases, when the bladder is seriously damaged, the bladder capacity is greatly reduced and there\u2019s a lot of pain, surgery may be needed. The bladder is removed then. The urologist constructs a urostoma or a new bladder may be made from a part of the intestine.\nInterstitial cystitis is a chronic condition that won\u2019t pass without treatment. But even with treatment there is usually no cure. Quality of life can be increased by the treatment, but treatment is not without side effects. When doing nothing, there\u2019s chronic pain. When opting for treatment, one may have less or even no pain, but has to deal with other inconveniences. In the largest group of patients, one of the previously mentioned treatments is sufficient in order to achieve an acceptable level of pain.\nMany patients with interstitial cystitis are helped with a diet, which is low in alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, spices and citrus fruits.\nFor patients with interstitial cystitis, there's no reason to drink extra fluid.\nExperience shows that cold has a bad effect on the symptoms and heat a good. Therefore, wear warm (under)clothing, make a hot-water bottle or use an electric blanket in order to relieve the symptoms. A warm hipbath for twenty to thirty minutes can also relieve the pain.\nWhen there\u2019s pain during intercourse, a long hipbath before having sex may also help, possibly combined with a painkiller or suppository.\nThe term \u2018interstitial cystitis\u2019 is derived from the Latin words interstitium (interruption, between the structures) and cyste (fluid-filled vesicle). The suffix -itis indicates that it is an inflammation.\nThe prevalence of interstitial cystitis is 5% and increases with age.\nInterstitial cystitis usually occurs in people aged 20 to 65 years.\nThe condition is mainly a problem in women.\nBladder Pain Syndrome (BPS)",

        "raw_content": "Glossary > Long Term Care\nLong care is designed to provide assistance for the elderly, or someone who has a chronic medical condition that requires special and ongoing services to ensure that their needs are met.\nLong term care may require visits or medical attention on a daily basis, and it can be done either in someone's home, or an assisted living facility. Since this care can be costly, many people look to health insurance to reduce their expenses.\nWho Needs Long Term Care?\nWhile health insurance will cover a wide range of medical problems and treatments from medical services to housing, many providers do not automatically include this type of care in their policies. As a result, you cannot assume that just because you have robust health insurance that long term care is also included.\nThe average annual cost for long term care is quite high. A private room in a nursing home may run you about $92,000 per year, and even at-home assisted living averages more than $43,000 per year. That's why long term care insurance is usually recommended, as it averages between $2,000 and $3,000 per year.\nThere are a number of health insurance companies that provide this type of care, so there's no set type of coverage. However, it generally includes things like the costs of staying in a nursing home or assisted living facility or having an individual come to a person's home to provide care.\nThe level of care required by an individual can vary wildly, and the costs of this type of care can vary significantly depending on the level of care someone needs. For instance, an individual who needs help getting dressed or cooking meals will often have costs far lower than someone who needs medical care or has severely limited mobility.\nThe level and flexibility of the coverage will also determine the cost, so make sure to check with your health insurance provider to see what long term care options are available to you.\nFactors of Long Term Costs\nOther factors that will determine the cost of your premiums are ones that normally affect insurance costs. They include your age, your overall health and how likely you may be to develop certain medical conditions. The length of your coverage and how much your policy will pay out for coverage per day will also affect your premiums.\nHow to Buy a Long Term Care Policy\nResearch the cost of long term care insurance in your area, and create a budget to determine how much you can afford to invest with your current income or retirement savings. The best time to apply is when you're in your mid-50s, but you can apply for this coverage at any time. Compare a range of options, and choose a plan that's suitable.\nTypes of Long Term Care\nSome of the most common types of long term care are -- in order from most to least expensive:\nIn-home health aide services\nTo determine the best type of long term care, it's important to assess the level of assistance that you require.

        "title": "Waiting Period",
        "raw_content": "Glossary > Waiting Period\nA waiting period in the realm of health insurance simply refers to the amount of time you have to wait between enrolling in your health insurance policy, and your benefits to kick in.\nSince the passage of the Affordable Care Act, most health insurance waiting periods are limited to 90 days. If there is a job change, for example, you will typically have to wait 90 days before you will be able to utilize your employer's health insurance plan. However, there are more specific time restrictions called exclusion, employer and affiliation waiting periods, and they each impose different restrictions and time periods.\nPurpose of a Waiting Period\nWaiting periods exist primarily to protect the insurance company from someone who simply signs up for health insurance only because they need a particular condition covered, or they need quick coverage due to a recent injury. The insurance company wants to know who they\u2019re insuring to properly rate the risk.\nHow Long Are the Waiting Periods?\nEmployers can make their own decisions about how long periods can last. However, the maximum wait time allowed for employer-based coverage is 90 days.\nTypes of Waiting Periods\nExclusion Waiting Period\nFor those who enroll in a new health plan with a pre-existing condition, the insurer may impose an exclusion period for that condition. The wait time is predetermined, and they can be included as part of a group plan or an individual plan. The exclusion waiting period can be avoided if you\u2019ve been insured by a plan for more than 18 months or if you have not been without health insurance for more than 63 days.\nAn employer waiting period states that a newly hired employee must wait a given time period before they can take advantage of the group health insurance plan. Waits are usually 90 days. However, some employers can choose to grant a smaller wait time. These holds are important in keeping costs down for the group because they limit the possibility of a new hire filing a large claim after starting with the company and then leaving. Claims like that can have a tremendous impact on how expensive premiums are for the rest of the group.\nThe affiliation period is imposed by group HMOs rather than the employer. The waiting times are restricted by HIPAA to no more than two months, and the HMO cannot enforce an exclusion waiting period for pre-existing conditions in addition to the affiliation period.",

OK, but if that\u2019s the case, then why do I know so few people my age who are divorced?\nWell, one answer is that in comparison to my parents generation, fewer are married. Another answer is that the returns aren\u2019t yet in, which is to say that some marriages will break up later in life.\nBut Wilcox offers the most significant explanation. It turns out that getting divorced is like getting lung cancer. There are risk factors. So, if you make over $50,000 annually, then you\u2019re 30 percent less likely to get divorce. Have a college degree? 25 percent less likely. Haven\u2019t gotten pregnant or had children before getting married? 24 percent less likely. Religious? Fourteen percent less likely. Parents still married? Fourteen percent less likely.\nThose are some pretty significant factors, so much so that if you\u2019ve got a college degree, a decently paying job, haven\u2019t been knocked up, your parents are still married, and you go to church, then you\u2019re not at all likely to get divorced. That, I suppose, explains why so few of my friends have been divorced, certainly far fewer than 50 percent.\nIn any event, as the report as a whole makes clear, there seems to be a virtuous circle at work for those who are lucky in our society. Educational levels, economic success, and family stability reinforce each other. It\u2019s not something we didn\u2019t already know, but it\u2019s useful to be reminded.\nAnd it\u2019s also useful to be reminded of something else: The sexual revolution, like most revolutions (all revolutions?) has ended up benefiting the people on the top at the expense of the people on the bottom. Bourgeois Americans have judiciously incorporated sexual freedom into their lives, retaining to a great degree the stabilizing institution of marriage. Not so the folks in the middle and on the bottom, many of whom are undone by the collapse of older moral strictures.\nI\u2019ve long been baffled by progressives. They make the observation, largely true, that increased economic freedom since the Reagan years has disproportionately benefited those who are most capable of taking advantage of new opportunities in the marketplace\u0097that is to say the well-educated and well-disciplined bourgeoisie. But these same progressives line up to trash traditional morality, ignoring the fact that the same holds for sexual freedom.\nNo, not the same but worse. It\u2019s not at all clear that investment banker bonuses diminish the earning power of coal miners or janitors. But it is clear, I think, that the sexual liberties that can be gently folded into upper-middle class life wreck havoc on working class communities.\nThat\u2019s why I think that a Catholic commitment to what\u2019s known as \u201cthe preferential option for the poor\u201d\u0097a proper commitment, I might add\u0097would seem to require a fairly strict social conservatism when it comes to sex, marriage, and the family.",

        "raw_content": "Air Force Pilot Flies \u2018Pipe Dream\u2019 F-22\nBy U.S. Air Force Capt. Erin Dorrance, 49th Wing\nAfter three years of rigorous training, 25-year-old U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. Andrew Van Timmeren, a pilot with the 7th Fighter Squadron here at Holloman Air Force Base, N.M., finally got to climb into the cockpit of a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor \u2014 the world\u2019s most advanced fighter jet \u2014 and take it for a spin.\nThe single-seat, twin-engine aircraft is an air dominance fighter that uses stealth technology and eventually will replace the aging F-15C Eagle fighter jets. \u201cIt is a pipe dream to fly the Raptor,\u201d said Van Timmeren, who was assigned the F-22 after completing undergraduate pilot training.\nThe Grand Rapids, Mich., native studied political science at the U.S. Air Force Academy and graduated in 2010. Everyone asked him what he wanted to fly while he was at the academy, he said, but cadets who expressed a desire to fly the F-22, were laughed at because it was an unrealistic dream.\nPreviously, F-22 aircraft were assigned only to F-15 and F-16 pilots with fighter experience. The Air Force opened up the F-22 pipeline to new pilots after several years, once experienced instructor and evaluator pilots were in place.\n\u201cIt is well within the capacity of these new pilots to fly the F-22,\u201d said Air Force Lt. Col. Shawn \u201cRage\u201d Anger, 7th Fighter Squadron commander. \u201cNew pilots make our experienced instructor and evaluator pilots even better at their jobs because of the meticulous training required when you are brand new to the jet.\u201d\nOnce pilots arrive to the 7th Fighter Squadron, they have several weeks of training before they are considered \u201ccombat ready\u201d in the F-22. Since the F-22 is a single-seat airplane, its pilots are on their own, with a wingman flying alongside for support. Air Force 1st Lt. Stephen Renner, another 7th Fighter Squadron pilot, said that when he walked out to an F-22 for the first time, he had to do a \u201cgut check.\u201d\n\u201cI knew I was prepared because of my amazing training, but I did feel anxious to fly the F-22 on my own the first time,\u201d he said.\nRenner graduated from the Air Force Academy with a degree in astronautical engineering in 2010. The Piedmont, Calif., native said he has wanted to be a pilot for as long as he can remember.\n\u201cIt has been a long road, but entirely worth it,\u201d he said. \u201cFlying the F-22 is a far-fetched dream come true.\u201d\nVan Timmeren and Renner both graduated at the top of their undergraduate pilot training classes. \u201cWe were pretty lucky to get F-22 drops, because it doesn\u2019t happen often,\u201d Renner said.\nBoth lieutenants have spent the past three years enduring the Air Force\u2019s intense pilot training program, which includes hundreds of hours of simulator and training aircraft flying, water survival, austere land survival, and medical evaluations. The training also includes three flights in an F-16 Fighting Falcon to prove could the pilots can withstand 9 G\u2019s of gravitational force, land a fighter aircraft and complete aerial refueling, Van Timmeren said.\n\u201cFlying is a bug I was born with,\u201d he added. \u201cI was just blessed to be able to realize it, and to chase my dream.\u201d\nPhoto by Sr. Airman Kasey Close",

        "raw_content": "How Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Took Over America\n\u00a9 Bobby Bank/Getty Images\nWith beef and bun hanging out of his mouth and the clock rapidly ticking down to zero, 23 year old Matt Stonie was relishing the changing of the hot dog eating guard. The young upstart had defeated eight-time reigning champion Joey Chestnut in the 99th annual Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest by consuming 62 tubes of meat to Chestnut's 60. It was an upset of foot long proportions.\nAs it always does, the 2016 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest will commence on Independence Day at the Nathan's on Coney Island in New York. This year's edition will mark the 100th anniversary of this venerable race. Here's the history of how this gluttonous competition got started and became an intrenched part of America's holiday tradition.\nUpon a Trans-Atlantic steamer, 20-year-old Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker arrived in America in 1912. He found work as a dishwater on the Lower East Side at Max's Busy Bee, a popular New York chain of restaurants. Handwerker soon graduated to delivery boy, making $4.50 a week, as well as working weekends as a roll-slicer at Charles Feltman's German biergarten at his Coney Island resort. Feltman is a legendary figure in Coney Island's history, known for building what was billed as the \"world's largest restaurant,\" attracting a higher-class of visitor to Coney Island and being the first to put a pork sausage on a bun (to some, that means he invented the hot dog). Charging ten cents a sausage, even his own employees thought that was too much for a few bites of food. The story goes that Handwerker was so determined to save money that he slept on Feltman's kitchen floor and lived off of free hot dogs for a full year. By 1915, he had saved three hundred dollars, enough that when two singing waiters - Eddie Cantor and Jimmy Durante, both of whom went on to vaudeville fame - told him he should start his own business and charge only five cents per sausage, he listened. In the summer of 1916, Nathan opened his hot dog stand at the corner of Stillwell and Surf Aves, a mere block from his former employer.\nRelated: ICE CREAM HOT DOGS: THE BEST USE OF YOUR LEFTOVER HOT DOG BUNS\nWhile Handwerker may have popularized it, he was not the first to use the word \"hot dog.\" One apocryphal story goes that in 1901 the New York Evening Journal's sports cartoonist Thomas Aloysius Dorgan overheard a vendor at New York's Polo Grounds yell, \"Get your red hot dachshund sausages!\" Not knowing how to spell \"dachshund,\" he wrote \"hot dog\" under the image of the sausage. According to etymologist Barry Popik, this story is false. The word actually arose a few years earlier as a slang word used by Yale students when describing sausages because there was a belief that they were made out of dog meat, a thing that Popik claims \"had a basis in fact.\"\nDespite undercutting Feltman's prices and using his wife Ida's secret spice recipe, Nathan's hot dog stand struggled. This perhaps had something to do with a dirty trick that Feltman apparently deployed against his ex-employee: spreading rumors that the reason Nathan's dogs were cheaper was because he was using meat other than cow - maybe horse or actual dog. Not one to miss a chance to promote his business, Handwerker responded by hiring people off the streets, throwing a white lab coat on them and proclaiming them doctors from a nearby hospital. Then, he gave them free hot dogs. Passersbys walking past saw what they thought were a group of doctors eating at Nathan's - convincing them that if a group of health care professionals were enjoying Nathan's hot dogs, then they must be good enough for them.\nOf all the stories about Nathan's the one about how the hot dog eating contest came to be may be the least verifiable, but it shouldn't be totally discounted. Always a fan of a publicity stunt, Handwerker no doubt encouraged the proceedings. The legend goes that on July 4th, 1916, Nathan overheard several recent immigrants arguing in a large crowd about who was most American. Thinking fast on his feet, Handwerker stepped in and told the men that whoever could eat the most of his hot dogs should be considered the most American. The men took up the challenge and an Irish immigrant named James Mullen proved victorious, eating 13 dogs in 12 minutes. The Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest was born.\nRelated: 5 TIPS FOR SURVIVING YOUR JULY 5TH HANGOVER\nA century later, the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest is a curious part of American culture and history. Seemingly everyone, from Bugsy Siegel to Lucille Ball to Bernie Sanders, have intersected with this Coney Island institution at one time or another. Reportedly, a struggling actor that would later become known as Cary Grant once worked there. Nathan's even helped to spawn the professional competitive eating league.\nAs the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest celebrates its 100th birthday, its place in history is secure, unlike the partially-chewed hot dogs of the contest's competitors.",

        "raw_content": "A Foolish Take: How New U.S. Corporate Tax Rates Compare Globally\nThe tax reform package that became law late last year had substantial impacts on American taxpayers. Major changes to the standard deduction, various credits and itemized deduction provisions, and individual tax rates left many people confused about whether they&apos;d end up saving money or paying more on their individual returns. Yet there&apos;s one area where tax reform unambiguously resulted in lower taxes: the corporate tax rate.\nPrior to tax reform, the U.S. had a corporate tax rate that was just under 39%. That consisted of a 35% federal tax rate on corporate income, with the remainder coming from state-level taxes that most U.S. states impose. That put the U.S. in the top three countries in the world in terms of corporate tax, according to figures last year from the Tax Foundation. Now, though, federal rates on corporate income have fallen from 35% to 21%. That puts the total federal and state burden at around 24%, just above the worldwide average of roughly 23%.\nStill, even when you ignore tax havens with little productive economic activity, the new U.S. rate is far from the lowest level you&apos;ll find. Among major industrialized nations, Hungary leads the way, and Ireland isn&apos;t too far behind.\nProponents of tax reform argue that lower corporate tax rates will boost business profits, leading to greater levels of economic activity that should result in higher wages over time. Opponents argue that lower business tax rates will only concentrate more wealth in the hands of high-income taxpayers.\nFor many businesses, the biggest benefit of tax reform will come not from lower rates but rather from simplified calculations. With some complex tax breaks going away to help pay for lower tax rates, companies hope that the new tax regime will be easier to navigate as well as result in lower cost.",

It was in college that France became an activist. Long before Obamacare, she fought for healthcare subsidies for poor students when the university passed a policy mandating health insurance upon enrollment. In 2006, when the state of Florida tried to cover up the death of a young boy, Martin Lee Anderson, at the hands of detention center guards, she and a group of like-minded students formed the Student Coalition for Justice and led a sit-in in then- Governor Jeb Bush's office.\nThroughout those experiences, she wrote. She wrote as an act of resistance, an opportunity to challenge the status quo, and a chance to corroborate the reality of marginalized people. When an all-white jury found the killers of Anderson \"not guilty,\" the essay she wrote detailing how that rocked her faith in the justice system, launched her into graduate school at American University.\nFrance's work has been featured in Huffington Post, Ebony.com, The Root, and other publications. During her time working with refugees in Egypt, her Black in Cairo blog won the 2010 Best Travel Blog award.\nAfter the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, France took her Masters in International Development and Conflict Resolution and pivoted her energies back to social issues in the country of her birth for years. Haiti has painted her storytelling and activism with a sense of loss, a discomfort with injustice, a fierce dignity, and an ever-growing wanderlust.\nFrance is redefining what it means to be a black woman abroad. Her insights into culture, policy, travel, and current events drive her commitment to social change with the power of the pen and the power of the people. She writes for those who aim to know a country's roots, not its resorts.\nHaving left her career in international development, she is currently living in Panam\u00e1.",

Juggs from Cape Town, South Africa, put the competition to shame during the World Chess Championships in Mexico City, Mexico, defeating all challengers to claim her first World Championship. In the gruelling seven match final against defending champion Vladimir Kramnik, Juggs trapped Kramnik when he suddenly became distracted and the time clock ticking down. The 73 hour 17 minute game was played in searing heat at the Plaza de Mexico which had its air conditioning fail. Both combatants were forced to play in informal attire which may have been too much for Kramnik to overcome.",

        "raw_content": "Tech companies should stop pretending AI will not cost jobs\nYou are doomed says AI expert\nKai-Fu Lee, the founder and CEO of Sinovation Ventures and president of the Sinovation Ventures Artificial Intelligence Institute, believes that we're not ready for the massive societal upheavals on the way.\nWriting an op-ed in the MIT Technology Review, Lee said that the rise of China as an AI superpower isn't a big deal just for China.\n\u201cThe competition between the US and China has sparked intense advances in AI that will be impossible to stop anywhere\u201d, he said.\n\u201cThe change will be massive, and not all of it good. Inequality will widen. AI will displace a large number of jobs, which will cause social discontent\u201d, Lee warned.\nHe cites Google DeepMind's AlphaGo software, which beat the best human players of the board game Go in early 2016. It was subsequently bested by AlphaGo Zero, introduced in 2017, which learned by playing games against itself and within 40 days was superior to all the earlier versions.\n\u201cImagine those improvements transferring to areas like customer service, telemarketing, assembly lines, reception desks, truck driving, and other routine blue-collar and white-collar work\u201d, Lee said.\n\u201cIt will soon be obvious that half of our job tasks can be done better at almost no cost by AI and robots. This will be the fastest transition humankind has experienced, and we're not ready for it. Not everyone agrees with my view. \u201c\nWhile some people argue that it will take longer than we think before jobs disappear, since many jobs will be only partially replaced, and companies will try to redeploy those displaced internally. But even if true, that won't stop the inevitable, Lee said.\nLee thinks that while it is true that every technology revolution has created new jobs as it displaced old ones, it's dangerous to assume this will be the case again.\nsinovation\nMore in this category: \u00ab Porsche driverless car controlled by smartphone\tGoogle employee fired for threatening \"conservative\" \u00bb",

The game, which is Kinect controlled, will give users the ability to land the Mars Rover without crashing it.\nNormally, news of a Mars Rover Landing game would not be a big deal at all, but the fact that it is free will turn some heads. The game will be released on Monday and is meant to simulate what NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory will going through on August 5th.\nThe game will have players attempting to try to complete all three stages of the landing. Players are rated on how well they do and get a score based on each individual phase, which is compiled into an overall score.\nIt is unknown if the game will work without Kinect, but we suspect that it will not and you will also have to have Kinect to download it. Still, free is free; and while it might not be the old Atari Lunar Lander, it could be an unexpected way to have a little fun and learn something about science at the same time.\nRead the USA Today report that broke the news here.\nMore in this category: \u00ab Steam is coming to Linux\t360 controlled by iPad? \u00bb",

Later this week, we\u2019ll be taking a more detailed look at how to determine sex and ethnicity from a skull.\nTeeth can reveal information about diet and a comparison between dental records of the deceased and the recovered skull is often the primary method of identification.\nThe bones of the skeleton can disclose injuries, illnesses or surgical procedures that occurred during life and they can also give an indication of the occupation of the deceased.\nExperts are able to determine if damage to the skeleton has occurred post mortem and the nature of that damage. This allows inferences to be drawn regarding the cause of death and whether the location where the body was discovered was the location where the individual died.\nEvery skeleton tells the story or osteobiography of an individual\u2019s life.

To become a finalist is an honor but to win this accolade is something I have always aspired to achieve one day.\nSo, with my company Avon, putting me forward and nominating me after 11 years of dedicated service to my team and my business I was astounded to be told I had got through to the final 3 and I was invited to the entire event for the awards ceremony and gala dinner.\nThe evening cocktails started at 7pm and the recognition and awards ceremony began at 7-30pm. So with my fancy frock on and a glass of wine in my hand I stood nervously awaiting for my category to be announced.\nWith the Avon team around me I was so excited to be able to say I was part of this amazing global company. Soon my name was called out and I was asked to join the stage with the other 2 finalists for the Direct Seller of the year award 2013. I was nervous and excited to be on stage for the most anticipated award of the evening. Within minutes the Golden Envelope was opened and the winner announced\u2026.\nThe winner of the UK DSA Direct Seller of the year 2013 is\u2026..\nDSA Direct Seller of the year award 2013 Gail Reynolds\nOnce my name was called out as the winner, I have to say I had a feeling of overwhelming gratitude. I often have to say to people and remind myself \u201cI am just a house wife that has goals and aspirations like anyone else. I am not extra ordinary in any way\u201d. But, this award has given me even more determination and inspiration to continue to do what I have done since 2002 and shout from the roof tops about how wonderful the Direct Selling Industry really is. The awards and recognition are all part of the journey, but my most treasured gifts from this industry is that of my own personal growth and being able to coach guide and develop others to go forward and achieve everything they have ever wanted within this amazing industry\u2026\nAfter 11 years in the direct selling industry and achieving many personal and work related goals I have to say that this one is one of the most memorable and I am humbled into being given this amazing accolade. I love what I do, and I still wake up every morning knowing I have an amazing business opportunity to offer and I always say to myself every morning \u201cWhose life can I help change for the better today\u201d.

        "title": "Gamasutra - Jonathan Blow: The Path to Braid",
        "raw_content": "Jonathan Blow: The Path to Braid\nby Simon Parkin [Design, Interview, Console/PC, Indie, North America]\nOne of the things I found interesting while playing the game is that it's kind of like a series of logic puzzles. Each room you get to, you've got a logic puzzle. You work out what to do, and then you can move onto the next one.\nI don't know if you saw Jonathan Smith's talk about the springy path, so you could get through the game and generally get through the game without too much resistance, but you can see all these other things if you go back and look again.\nBut the bit about being in a room and trying to work out what to do in a room kind of reminds me of point-and-click adventures. It's something that's been kind of left by the wayside, that way of doing things. Obviously, it's in no way a point-and-click adventure, but that active process that you go through as a player is similar.\nIt's one of those games where one person might get it straight away. They'll walk into a room and go, \"Okay, I get it.\" And then someone else will be there for an hour. I've seen that with your game. Some people do it straight away, and some people take forever. How on earth do you balance something like that? It depends on the minds approaching the game in a much more exaggerated way than in most games.\nJB: Early on, once I had all these ideas and was really hyped about the game, I decided that this is going to be the best game I've done so far. It's going to be like a philosophical pursuit for me. So I'm going to abandon all the other traditional ideas about game design that I've had.\nThose include stuff like, \"You need to have danger in order to keep the player interested.\" It started as an action-platformer, and it moved to puzzles when it was like, \"Well, I don't want to kill the player or have lives, so how do I make the game interesting?\" It's about thinking about where you are, and not just jumping over monsters.\nAnother part of game design that I just threw out was the idea of balance, or even the idea that everybody should be able to finish a game. That's certainly something that's come into prevalence. It's not something the industry does very well. People still don't play through most games.\nBut it's something that designers try to do. I was like, \"No.\" This game is like a meditation or a kind of study -- a fun kind of study, hopefully. But it's about understanding the answers to these puzzles, and if you don't understand them yet, you just haven't finished the game, and that's okay.\nNow, I did design the game because... not only are different people going to have different ease at solving this kind of puzzle, based on how much they've thought about weird time stuff or if they've read science fiction as a kid. I don't know what it has to do with. Not only that, but different people find different puzzles harder than others. There are definitely some puzzles that are easier and some that are harder, but among the ones that are harder, you just don't know.\nSo the game is designed so that it doesn't actually block you in a room almost ever. It does that a very little bit at the beginning in order to make sure the player understands the rules of the game. It starts out with just rewind, and then rewind with exceptions, but once you understand the exceptions... well, you can get through that level without really understanding it by failing, but once it's been shown to you, then the game is actually open. All you have to do is walk to the end of every level. You don't actually have to solve a puzzle almost ever. There's boss monsters that lock you in until you kill them, but that's it.\nAnd that was just to provide some pacing and not make the game totally feel like a cakewalk to get to the end. That was actually a case in which I didn't throw out traditional design wisdom, which has been hard-earned over many years. It's like, if there's a hard puzzle that you just can't get because you can't read the designer's mind or whatever and it's frustrating, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to play the rest of the game and then come back to that later. I wanted to allow that.\nIn fact, in Braid, sometimes there will be a puzzle that's pretty hard. It's almost like dynamic difficulty adjustment. Sometimes you'll have a puzzle that's hard in some way. \"I don't get it.\" And then you play on, and maybe there's another puzzle that has an easier aspect of that that you can solve that will remind you of the earlier one and give you an idea. \"Oh yeah, that puzzle that I was stuck on might work like this!\"\nSo if you're a more hardcore player who wants to grind through the game, you can attack that puzzle and not give up, but if you don't do it that way, it might be a little easier, but you're still not being given hints. The game never gives you hints.\nI think Microsoft wanted a hint system early on and I was like, \"No. There's no way that there's going to be a hint system in this game, because it's opposed to the fundamental philosophy of the game, which is about actually understanding.\" So yeah, I think I talked that one dry, but I don't feel like I've quite hit the end.\nWhen you were testing, did you balance anything as a result of that? Or were you like, \"No, there's no room for balancing. Either you get it or you don't and come back to it later, but that's just how it is?\"\nJB: Yeah, most of the puzzles are just the best puzzles that I've found through interpretation. It so happened that there was a good difficulty variety.\nThat was another thing. One traditional idea of games is that a game starts out easy and then gets harder toward the end, and it ramps up, because you've got to have this challenge that ramps up. I didn't find that to be the case when I really questioned that for Braid because of a couple of reasons.\nOne is that it has this parallel structure. Every time you go into a new world, there's a new rule that wants to ramp up from easy to harder, at least. But then also, it's just nice to have pacing. It's nice to be playing something hard for a while and then have something easy and then hard.\nIf you go see an action movie, it doesn't ramp up the action until it's solid action for the last hour, necessarily. I guess some movies do that, but it's kind of exhausting. It's like, maybe you open with a big scene, then you have a rest period, then you have another big scene. Things like that.\nKind of like comic relief game mechanics.\nJB: Yeah. I've had lectures about rewards -- artificial rewards and natural rewards -- and it's kind of a natural reward to work on something hard and figure it out. First of all, that feels really good, like, \"Dude, I am smart. I figured this out. I didn't think I would be able to. It took me an hour of just staring.\"\nBecause Braid is not like one of those 13-puzzles or whatever where you're moving something around, or a Rubik's Cube, or anything. It's like, there's two things on the screen, and you're like, \"What? It's not possible to get that thing,\" and then like an hour later it's like, \"Oh yeah, I actually just do one action and I can get it.\"\nThat's another reason why it feels good, because it's not arbitrary. It's not like you've stumbled your way through a complex series of motions, usually. There are a couple of puzzles in the game that you can get that way, but there's always a better solution. The speed run at the end of the game that unlocks after you win it encourages you to find a better solution so that you can get through the game in the minimal time. There's layers of improvement that can happen.\nBut what I was trying to say is not only do you get that little rush of, \"I've figured out something hard. That's so cool.\" But then you get some easy stuff as a little lull after that, hopefully. You can't quite predict what's easy for whom, but you don't want to bang your head against something and then bang your head against the next thing. Ebb and flow was more of the idea, so I tried to pace it that way. Who knows if I did a good job? But I do feel like it doesn't feel like traditional pacing. I think people can see that.\n132180 item_feature /view/feature/132180/jonathan_blow_the_path_to_braid.php Loading Comments",

They have usually ended up with a set of outdated and contradictory information emerging from various organizations and institutions working on the environment in Kuwait. Accordingly, Kuwait Environment Public Authority (EPA) has taken the initiative to establish Kuwait Official Environmental Portal \"Beatona.net\" in order to share authentic environmental information about Kuwait with the public over the internet in an easy and transparent manner. Beatona (our environment) is the Arabic name chosen for this portal, which is a key component and output of the Environmental Monitoring Information System of Kuwait (eMISK).\neMISK - GeoDatabase\nThe infrastructure for the eMISK geodatabase has been put in place, along with all hardware and software components. Assessment of user needs and data modelling were implemented by a team of experts to come up with the requirement analysis and recommendation for the design of eMISK geodatabase and systems, which will form the backbone of Kuwait EPA data repository. Eleven data domains are identified to organise data within eMISK geodatabase; each domain represents an environmental sector.\neMISK - Enterprise GIS\nThe main user interface of eMISK Enterprise Kuwait\u2019s Environment Public Authority (Kuwait EPA), provides leadership in the nation's environmental science, research, monitoring, education and assessment efforts. It works closely with other federal agencies and local government organizations to develop and enforce regulations under existing environmental laws. Kuwait EPA is responsible for setting national standards for a variety of environmental programs, monitoring and enforcing compliance.\nWhere national standards are not met, Kuwait EPA can issue sanctions and take other steps to assist the state in reaching the desired levels of environmental quality. The Authority also works with industries and with all levels of government bodies in a wide variety of pollution prevention programs and energy conservation efforts.\nSpatial Data Modeling and Management, Course Material, Irrigation and Hydraulics Department, Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt (2004)\nIn the framework of the TEMPUS project \u201cNew curriculum for training courses in GIS \u2013 NCGIS\u201d, GISCON assisted the University of Braunschweig, Germany in the preparation and development of course material for the post graduate education in the faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University.

        "raw_content": "America\u2019s New Proxy, The Syrian National Coalition: The Many Faces of its Leader, Sheikh Ahmad Moaz Al-Khatib\nCompletely unkown to the international public only a week ago, Sheikh Moaz al-Khatib has been catapulted to the presidency of the Syrian National Coalition, which represents pro-Western opposition in the Damascus government. Portrayed by an intense public relations campaign as a highly moral personality with no partisan or economic attachments, he is in truth a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and an executive of\nThe dislocation of the armed Syrian opposition is a reflection of the conflict between the various States which are trying to \u201cchange the regime\u201d in Damascus.\nWe should pay particular attention to the Syrian National Council (SNC), also known as the Istanbul Council, since it was instituted there. This council is guided with an iron hand by the French DGSE (Direction G\u00e9n\u00e9rale de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 Ext\u00e9rieure), and financed by Qatar. Its members, who have obtained residency and various other privileges in France, are under constant pressure from the secret services, who dictate every declaration they make.\nThe Local Coordination Committees (LCC) represent those local civilians who support armed action.\nFinally, the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which is principally managed by Turkey, unites most of the combatants, including the d\u2019Al-Qaida brigades. 80% of these units recognise the Takfirist Sheikh Adnan Al-Arour as their spiritual leader. He is based in Saudi Arabia.\nSeeking to regain leadership and bring a little order to this cacophony, Washington ordered the Arab League to call a meeting in Doha, sabotaged the SNC, and obliged as many of the tiny groups as possible to integrate a single and exclusive structure \u2013 the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces. Behind the scenes, ambassador Robert S. Ford himself allotted the seats and privileges for this assembly, and has imposed as President of the Coalition a personality who has never yet been mentioned in the Press \u2013 Sheikh Ahmad Moaz Al-Khatib.\nRobert S. Ford is considered to be the State Department\u2019s principal specialist for the Middle East. He was the assistant of John Negroponte from 2004 to 2006, while this master spy was busy applying in Iraq the methods he had developed in Honduras \u2013 the intensive use of death squads and Contras. Shortly before the events in Syria began, Ford was nominated as Ambassador to Damascus, and assumed his functions despite Senate opposition. He immediately applied the Negroponte method to Syria with obvious results.\nWhile the creation of the National Coalition objectifies Washington\u2019s take-over of the armed opposition, it does not solve the question of representivity. Very quickly, various components of the SLA withdrew. In particular, the Coalition excludes any form of opposition which is hostile to armed struggle, especially Haytham al-Manna\u2019s National Coordination Committee for Democratic Change.\nThe choice of Sheikh Ahmad Moaz Al-Khatib responds to a clear necessity \u2013 in order for the President to be recognised by the combatants, he has to be religious figure, but in order to be accepted by Westerners, he has to appear moderate. And especially, in this period of intense negotiations, the new President has to have a solid understanding of the subject in order to discuss the future of Syrian gas \u2013 but this is not a subject to be introduced in public.\nUS spin doctors quickly gave Sheikh Ahmad Moaz Al-Khatib a make-over, dressing him in a suit but no tie. Some of the media speak of him as a \u201cmodel\u201d leader. For example, a major US daily newspaper presents him as \u201ca unique product of his culture, like Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma\u201d [1]\nHere is the portrait of him drawn up by the Agence France Presse (AFP):\n\u201cSheikh Ahmad Moaz Al-Khatib, the consensual man\nBorn in 1960, Sheikh Ahmad Moaz Al-Khatib is a moderate religious figure who was for a time the Imam of the Omeyyades mosque in Damascus. He belongs to no political party.\nIt is this independence, and his proximity to Riad Seif at the origin of the initiative for a wider coalition, which makes him a consensual candidate for the leadership of the opposition.\nHis background is in Sufi Islam. A religious dignitary, he has studied international relations and diplomacy, and is not linked to the Muslim Brotherhood or any other Islamist organisation in the opposition.\nArrested several times in 2012 for having publicly called for the end of the regime in Damascus, he was forbidden to speak in Syrian mosques by order of the authorities, and found refuge in Qatar.\nBorn in Damascus, he played a decisive role in the mobilisation of the suburbs of the capital, notably Douma, which was active from the very beginnings of the peaceful demonstrations in March 2011. \u201cSheikh al-Khatib is a consensual figure who enjoys true popular support on the ground\u201d, underlines Khaled al-Zeini, a member of the Syrian National Council.\u201d [2]\nThe truth is quite different.\nIn reality, there is absolutely no evidence that Sheikh Ahmad Moaz Al-Khatib ever studied international relations and diplomacy, but he does have training as an engineer in geophysics. He worked for six years for the al-Furat Petroleum Company (1985-91), a joint-venture between the national company and other foreign enterprises, including the Anglo-Dutch Shell, with whom he has maintained contact.\nIn 1992, he inherited the prestigious charge of preacher at the Omeyyades mosque from his father, Sheikh Mohammed Abu al-Faraj al-Khatib. He was rapidly relieved of his functions and forbidden to preach anywhere in Syria. However, this episode did not occur in 2012, and has nothing to do with the present contestation \u2013 it happened twenty years ago, under Hafez el-Assad. At that time, Syria was supporting the international intervention to liberate Kuwait, in respect of international law, in order to get rid of their Iraqi rival, and also to forge closer ties with the West. As for the Sheikh, he was opposed to \u201cDesert Storm\u201d for the same religious motives which were proclaimed by Oussama Ben Laden \u2013 with whom he aligned himself \u2013 notably the refusal of Western presence on Arab lands, which they consider sacrilegious. This position led him to deliver a number of anti-semitic and anti-Western diatribes.\nFollowing that, the Sheikh continued his activity as a religious teacher, notably at the Dutch Institute in Damascus. He made numerous trips abroad, mainly to Holland, the United Kingdom and the United State. Finally, he settled in Qatar.\nIn 2003-04, during the attribution of oil and gas concessions, he returned to Syria as a lobbyist for the Shell group.\nHe came back to Syria again at the beginning of 2012, where he inflamed the neighbourhood of Douma (a suburb of Damascus). He was arrested, then pardoned, and left the country in July to settle in Cairo.\nHis family is indeed steeped in the Sufi tradition, but contrary to what the AFP claims, he is a member of the Muslim brotherhood, and declared this quite clearly at the end of his speech of investiture at Doha. According to the usual technique of the Brotherhood, he adapts not only the form, but also the content of his speeches to his audience. Sometimes leaning towards a multi-religious society, sometimes towards the restoration of sharia law. In his writings, he qualifies Jewish people as \u201cenemies of God\u201d, and Chiite muslims as \u201crejectionist heretics\u201d, epithets which are the equivalent of a death sentence.\nIn the end, Ambassador Robert S. Ford has played his hand well \u2013 once again Washington has duped its allies. Just like in Libya, France has taken all the risks, but in the major compromises which are to come, Total will have gained no advantage.\nThe original source of this article is Voltaire Net\nCopyright \u00a9 Thierry Meyssan, Voltaire Net, 2012",

But the odds for home victory are too low, so I decide to suggest Over 3.5 goals.\nBayern is the best team in Bundesliga, they are on the top of the table with 9 points advantage to the second placed Bayern Leverkusen. At the same time Bayern have 12 points advantage to the biggest rival and actual champion Borussia Dortmund. The atmosphere in the squad is very good and the players confidence are high. The coach Jupp Heynckes has almost all players available for this match. I wrote almost as Holger Badstuber is out for the rest of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. However, Heynckes has a big roster and his absence is not a problem.\nGreuther Furth is in very difficult situation. They are on the bottom of the table with only 9 points from the first 17 matches. They finished 2012 with bad results too. Greuther Furth have suffered three defeats in the last four matches. The additional problem for the coach Michael Buskens is the absence of many important players. Issa Ndoye, Michael Hefele, Heinrich Schmidtgal, Edgar Prib and Sebastian Tyrala are out injured, while the captain Megrim Mavraj is suspended. Just for Your information, Mavraj played all 17 games so far and his absence is a big handicap for Buskens.\nBayern Munich overcame Greuther Furth in the only match played at the Allianz Arena with 6:2. It was in the quarterfinal of DFB-Pokal, on 10.02.2010. Bayern also won the reverse fixture on the opening day of the season (25.08.2012). I expect another high victory for the Rotens.",

        "title": "Kenny G: No. 1 Musician Golfer (2006) - Golf Digest",
        "raw_content": "Golf & MusicSeptember 16, 2008\nKenny G: No. 1 Musician Golfer\nAfter selling millions of records, Grammy winner Kenny G wants to conquer golf\nSweet track: Kenny G on his putting green at home in Southern California.\nKenneth Gorelick was in grade school when he took up golf and the saxophone. Entering Franklin High in Seattle, he made the golf team but not the jazz band.\nSurprised? Albert Einstein flunked math, and Michael Jordan got cut from the varsity. \"I was shocked, but somehow not discouraged,\" Kenny says. \"I think because I loved the sax so much, and I just wanted to play it well so badly.\"\nThe next year he earned first chair in the school band and was soon playing professionally as Kenny G. In 1986, he released \"Duotones\" and became the sound of smooth jazz. Today, the Grammy winner has sold more than 70 million records and is in the Guinness World Records for holding the longest sustained note on a saxophone: 45 minutes, 47 seconds.\nThe career explosion caused Kenny to put golf aside for nearly 20 years. But set for life in his early 40s, (he's one of the 10 original investors in Starbucks), he returned to the game with a passion. Now 50, Kenny G tops Golf Digest's inaugural Top 100 in Music ranking with a plus-0.6 Handicap Index. He's a club stroke-play champion at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., where his most frequent partner is actor Craig T. Nelson. Kenny has shot 67 at Riviera, \"but from the middle tees with no rough. I don't want to ever fool myself that I'm better than I am.\" As a 6-handicap in 2001, he partnered with Phil Mickelson to tie for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am title. Last year Kenny played on a sponsor's exemption in a Nationwide Tour event and quickly discovered that his short game and 250-yard drives weren't up to the task. He shot 82-83 to miss the cut but is considering trying again next year.\n\"People asked me if I was upset,\" he says. \"I said, 'You don't understand. I experienced a whole new level of the game that told me exactly where I stand. Who else gets the chance to learn like that?' \"\nHe has spent time with greats like Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Johnny Miller and Jack Nicklaus and asked them what their bodies feel like at specific moments in their swings. \"I'd try to force improvement with hours on the practice tee or launch monitors,\" he says. \"My teachers warned me that I could get too mechanical, but I'd say, 'I'm a different guy. I'm going to learn it differently than anybody else.' But I got myself pretty tangled up in technique.\"\nA recent breakthrough changed that pattern. \"Hal Sutton once said to me, 'You have to let go of control to gain control.' I didn't really know what he meant and forgot about it. But the words came back when I remembered Tiger watching me hit a driver and saying, 'What are you afraid of? Let it go.'\n\"I started realizing that music is the one area where I've always let go. When that saxophone goes into my mouth, I get into a space where I never think about the notes I've already played or anticipate the notes ahead. I'm the way you're supposed to be in golf: in the moment, letting it go.\n\"To this point, even my good rounds have been a series of good swings more than a series of good shots. I've never really played golf. With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That's where I want to get in golf.\"\nGolf Digest Interview: Justin Timberlake - Golf Digest\nTop 100 in Music - Golf Digest\nTop Golfing Musicians: Saving Grace - Golf Digest\nGolfer We Like: Joshua Bell - Golf Digest\nGolf Digest's Top 100 In Music - Golf Digest\nGolf News & ToursTop Golfing Musicians: Saving Grace - Golf Digest\nGolf News & ToursGolf Digest Interview: Justin Timberlake - Golf Dig\u2026\nMagazineGolfer We Like: Joshua Bell - Golf Digest",

We have 100 songs for Michael Jackson Piano, Vocal and Guitar Sheet Music and other instruments.\nGenre: Popular & Folk, R & B, Soul, Classical, Rock and More\nBrilliant, tragic and odd are all words which can be justifiably used to describe Michael Jackson, a man who holds the record as the most successful entertainer. His music and dance routines were stunning and loved by 100s of millions across the world. Even though he died at just 50, his career spanned more than 4 decades. Starting as a child prodigy with his brothers in the Jackson 5, Michael progressed to going solo producing epic albums for his adoring fans and for the rest who simply loved his great music.\nThe oddness in his life included having a pet monkey, Bubbles, a theme park in his back garden and his ever changing look where he seemed to want to alter his skin pigment to become more \"white\".This is doubly odd considering songs such as Black or White where the message is one of promoting inter-racial relationships. The weirdness of his life included his befriending of children who he would share his bed with but the associated court cases didn't seem to diminish the respect the world had for him. He also dangled one of his children out of a hotel window. On the flip side, his foundation donated millions to worthy causes across the globe.\nA Place With No Name 1\nABC (The Jackson 5 - ABC album) 25\nPVG, Piano, Vocal, Guitar, SATB, SAB, Lyrics & Chords, Cello, Ukulele, French Horn, Lead Sheet, Drums, Tenor Saxophone, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Flute, Trombone, Trumpet, Viola, Violin\nAnother Part Of Me 1\nBaby Be Mine 2\nAlto Saxophone, PVG, Piano, Vocal, Guitar\nBeat It 3\nPiano, PVG, Vocal, Guitar, Alto Saxophone\nBehind The Mask 2\nPVG, Piano, Vocal, Guitar, Lyrics & Chords, Ukulele, Guitar TAB, Flute, Violin, Lead Sheet\nBillie Jean 4\nAlto Saxophone, Vocal, Piano, PVG, Guitar\nPVG, Piano, Vocal, Guitar, Guitar TAB, SATB, SAB, Ukulele\nGuitar TAB, Vocal, PVG, Piano, Guitar\nBlack Or White (Rap Version) 1\nBlame It On The Boogie 5\nPVG, Piano, Vocal, Guitar, Lyrics & Chords, Band\nBlood On The Dance Floor 2\nBlue Gangsta 1\nBurn This Disco Out 2\nCan You Feel It 6\nChicago (Michael Jackson - Xscape) 1\nCry (Michael Jackson - Invincible) 2\nDancing Machine 4\nDirty Diana 1\nDo You Know Where Your Children Are 1\nDon't Stop The Music (Michael Jackson; Rihanna; Jamie Cullum) 12\nPVG, Piano, Vocal, Guitar, SAB, SATB, Handbells\nDon't Stop 'Til You Get Enough 6\nEarth Song 1\nFarewell My Summer Love 2\nGet It Together (The Jackson 5 - G.I.T.

        "raw_content": "Microsoft has revealed the next set of games coming to Xbox Game Pass in February.\nThe library service has been going from strength to strength in recent months, and with this month\u2019s additions, it appears Microsoft is not ready to slow down.\nThe hot ticket for February is Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the third entry in the rebooted Tomb Raider series. This is a perfect addition to Game Pass.\nThe game only launched in September of 2018, but due to the timing of it, many fans missed out. It didn\u2019t receive universal critical acclaim, but it\u2019s something many may be tempted by, especially for the very low price tag.\nBeyond Tomb Raider, Game Pass subscribers will also receive The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season on February 7, which is a solid addition, especially if you\u2019re not caught up on the series.\nThe final episode of The Final Season launches in late March, meaning there\u2019s plenty of time to power through Lee and Clementine\u2019s story.\n3D platformer de Blob also makes a messy landing on Game Pass this February 14, with Batman: Return to Arkham following suit on February 21.\nReturn to Arkham bundles both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City into one remastered package. Both of these games still hold up today and act as a gritty antidote to Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man, which launched earlier in the year.\nCrackdown 3 will also launch on Game Pass in tandem with its February 15 release on both Xbox One and PC.\nAll in all, this is a very solid month for subscribers, offering something worthwhile to a variety of gamers, from AAA blockbusters to indie darlings.\nPrevious articleAssassin\u2019s Creed III Remastered given March release date\nNext articleNew Sekiro trailer explores protagonist\u2019s origins\nMicrosoft lines up Xbox Game Pass for PC",

        "raw_content": "The 1965 Cadillacs featured all-new styling with dual vertical headlamps, which were very much in vogue. For the first time since 1958, the Series Sixty Special had its own specific body, on an extended 133-inch wheelbase. Eschewing the old X-braced frame for a new perimeter frame also gave the car more interior room. The bodies were advertised as being \u201cby Fleetwood\u201d, but in reality the cars were simply extended GM C-body vehicles. The only body style was the four-door hardtop sedan. A rather astounding 18,100 were built, coming within 310 vehicles of actually outselling the entire Imperial line by Chrysler. Prices started at $6,479, about $1,500 above the least expensive Cadillac Calais four-door.\nThe engine was carried over from Cadillac\u2019s new-for-1964 V-8, which displaced 429 cubic inches and put out 340 hp. The transmission was also carried over from the all-new-for 1964 Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission.\nThe 1966 line was expanded with the addition of an even more upcale Fleetwood Brougham. The new sub-series outsold the base car by 13,630 to 5,455, and pricing started at $6,695 and $6,378, respectively. This made the 1966 Sixty Special quite the bargain, since it was actually a $101 price reduction from 1965. The 1967 cars had new styling, retaining the still fashionable vertical headlamps. Once again, the Sixty Special Fleetwood Brougham outsold the Sixty Special.\nThe 1968 cars carried over much of the 1967 styling, with the addition of a longer hood and hidden headlamps. Under the hood, however, the big (though admirably light) Cadillac V-8 was bored and stroked to a full 472 cubic inches, for 375 hp. Every Cadillac owner now could get to the golf course or Country Club that much faster. A new 60/40 split bench seat was standard on the more luxurious Sixty Special Fleetwood Brougham, which saw sales increase while the Sixty Special sales dropped again. Clearly, most Cadillac buyers were willing to spend a little extra for the Fleetwood Brougham features.\nThe 1969 cars were entirely restyled in front, with horizontal dual headlights and no more vent wings on the front doors. For 1970, the cars were only lightly facelifted with a new grille and taillamps. In fact, 1970 was the last year for the plain (if they could ever be considered that!) Sixty Special, which only sold 1,738 units versus 16,913 Sixty Special Fleetwood Brougham cars. Today, these cars make for a sublime driving and riding experience for what is really no more outlay than a modern blob-mobile family car.",

        "raw_content": "Court Throws Flag on NFL Player\u2019s Claim of California Jurisdiction\nThe California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, in Larry Tripplett v. Workers\u2019 Compensation Appeals Board, Indianapolis Colts, et al., G054825 (June 28, 2018), found that California jurisdiction in a workers\u2019 compensation case was not conferred during negotiations for an employment contract in California and by playing two games in this state.\nLarry Tripplett (Tripplett) played professional football for The Indianapolis Colts (Indianapolis) from 2002 to 2006, for the Buffalo Bills from 2006 to 2008, and briefly for the Seattle Seahawks in 2008. After his retirement, Tripplett filed a claim for workers\u2019 compensation benefits in California, although he played games in California on only two occasions during his career. A trial was held in January 2012 on the sole issue of whether California had jurisdiction to adjudicate the case.\nTripplett, a California resident, testified that all of his professional football contracts were negotiated by his agent whose office was in Newport Beach. Tripplett admitted that he was unsure where he was when he executed the employment contract. Tripplett did confirm that he relied heavily on his agent to negotiate his employment contracts, but Tripplett \u201chad the final say\u201d with respect to acceptance of the contract and its terms.\nA representative of Indianapolis testified that the first contract, dated July 26, 2002, was most likely executed while Tripplett attended the team\u2019s minicamp. The Workers\u2019 Compensation Judge found that Tripplett\u2019s signing the agreement in Indianapolis was merely a condition subsequent to acceptance of the contract, which occurred when Tripplett\u2019s agent negotiated the contract in California. Therefore, California jurisdiction over the workers\u2019 compensation case was proper.\nIndianapolis filed a petition for reconsideration and the Workers\u2019 Compensation Appeals Board ruled that an employee must be hired in California in order to confer jurisdiction in the state. Specifically, there must be evidence sufficient to support a finding that a hiring occurred in California \u201cby the acceptance of employment within this state\u201d in order for jurisdiction to apply. Since insufficient evidence was presented to prove that the contract was signed in California, the finding of jurisdiction by the Workers\u2019 Compensation Judge was reversed.\nIn its review the Fourth Circuit agreed with the Workers\u2019 Compensation Appeals Board that California jurisdiction was not justified. The Court rejected Triplett\u2019s argument that the execution of the contract was a mere condition subsequent to the acceptance of the contract by Tripplett\u2019s agent during negotiations in California. First, the Court noted that the agreement was in writing and specified that it would only become effective upon execution. Additionally, the Court stated that workers\u2019 compensation law has previously looked to principles of contract law to determine the location where an employee was hired. The Court\u2019s analysis of past cases concluded that a contract is accepted when it is signed, and that the employee must sign while physically present in California for the contract to be accepted in California. In the instant case no party was in California when the contract was signed and accepted. The fact that the contract was negotiated in California was not enough to establish jurisdiction in that state.\nThe outcome may have been different had Tripplett\u2019s agent been authorized to unilaterally bind his client to the terms of the contract as negotiated. However, Tripplett testified at trial that he \u201chad the final say\u201d over whether to accept or reject the contract. This served as additional evidence that the contract was not accepted until signed by Tripplett in Indianapolis.\nThe court also rejected Tripplett\u2019s argument that playing two football games in California during his career was sufficient to confer California jurisdiction, because these games contributed to his industrial cumulative trauma. Citing Federal Ins. Co. v. Workers\u2019 Comp. Appeals Bd. (2013) 221 Cal.App.4th 116, 1130, the court found that a cumulative injury \u201coccurs\u201d when the injury \u201chas ripened into a disability.\u201d Each separate, fragmented exposure during a cumulative trauma is not determinative of the date of injury in a workers\u2019 compensation case. In this case, the Court determined that Tripplett\u2019s injury ripened into disability at the time of his retirement, and had not done so at the time he played the two games in California.\nThe Tripplett case confirms that when seeking California jurisdiction over an injury occurring out of state, the primary focus must be on where the employee was hired. Traditional principles of contract law, and this decision, hold that the employment contract must be accepted and signed in California.\nThis document is intended to provide you with information about recent legal developments.

        "raw_content": "HR dilemma: When bullying is blamed for poor performance\nHC Online | 22 Sep 2014, 12:30 PM Agree 0\nWhat risks does HR face when an employee claims their underperformance is due to workplace bullying?\nGerard | 22 Sep 2014, 01:05 PM Agree 1\nUnbalanced article!\nTo allege that they have been bullied by their manager, take personal leave, and make a workers compensation claim, is ALSO the easiest and most reliable tactic used by those who are not performing, are worried about their performance, or are indeed incompetent. In fact, the only time I've seen a college pull that tactic was then they were not performing or had been caught lying on their resume and were never going to be skilled for their role.\nThe tactic described is so easy and learnable, in fact, I've seen people coaching others on how to do so convincingly. The WIIFM is compelling - \"extra holidays with a bonus\". If only they put that much energy and creativity into their work...\nBernie Althofer | 22 Sep 2014, 02:32 PM Agree 1\nAs many have commented across a range of discussion groups, it seems that both managers and workers have concerns with performance management and the potential for allegations to be made during the process.\nIt seems that whilst many organisations do have well documented policies and procedures, the implementation thereof or the actual workplace practices in relation to performance management do leave the door open to allegations.\nIt seems that to reduce allegations, all parties involved or potentially involved in the process of performance management and appraisals, need to be actually trained in what is specifically required.\nIn addition, the policies and procedures have to be followed (irrespective of whether or not people like it) so that natural justice and procedural fairness are present. From experience, it seems that individuals may be more likely to perceive they are being singled out when there are variances in how the policy and procedures are applied.\nIt seems the best way to reduce the potential of allegations being made is to ensure consistency in the application and implementation of the process i.e. the same process for everyone.\nAll too often organisations provide training in relation to workplace bullying and overlook the need to ensure that hazards or factors that contribute to bullying or the potential for bullying to occur are addressed and controls put in place.\nRelying on word of mouth to learn about performance management is hardly ideal. In much the same, emailing a performance form to an employee with a time for completion, is in my view, one way of creating a situation where a worker will challenge any assessment.\nMichael Collins | 22 Sep 2014, 04:23 PM Agree 0\nUnfortunately, workplace bullying and harassment by managers is more common than previously thought, and is responsible for mental and physical harm to employees as well as damage to organisations. Whilst managers are often praised for 'getting results', e.g., by managing poor performance, sometimes employees view such task-focused actions as bullying or abusive.\nThere are at least two issues that need to be resolved here. First, impulsive aggressive behaviour often occurs in demanding work situations where managers feel under pressure to perform and have difficulty controlling strong negative emotions. This outcome is more likely for managers with low attentional resources (e.g., working memory/fluid intelligence).\nSecond, poor performing employees often react anxiously or angrily to such behaviour. This can lead to avoidance (e.g., unplanned leave) or aggressive behaviour (e.g., arguing), respectively. Both reactions are clearly ineffective and often demonstrates further poor performance by the employee.\nThe solution involves helping managers recognize the impact of frustrating situations on their emotional reactions and inappropriate behaviours. The tendency for managers to react this way under pressure is the subject of a number of recent studies at the Australian School of Business, UNSW (available on request).\nDenis Jenkins | 22 Sep 2014, 06:58 PM Agree 0\nI do not believe that an employee should be able to make such a claim at a performance review. If a company has adequate conflict management policies put in place, it is up to the employee to use the proper channels for such a complaint. The complaint must be made immediately the bullying occurs and the person should have evidence to back up the claim. It must be made very clear that unless proper channels are used for the resolution of conflict that consideration cannot be made at a performance review. It is the conflict resolution process that would be making such considerations not the performance review process itself. These problems occur only in companies where there is poor boundary and that such policies are not made clear to the employees. If that is the case the company has made their own problem and therefore must wear it. It is a matter of good and clear governance.\nBernie Althofer | 23 Sep 2014, 08:40 AM Agree 0\nLife as a manager is never easy. It is even more difficult when a person finds themselves in a managerial position and they lack the knowledge, skills and abilities to perform at that level. There will be times when a manager in this situation may struggle, and their ensuring behaviours etc may be perceived by others as bullying.\nThere is little doubt in my view that managers are being expected to perform in the best interests of their organisation. It seems that for some, they have been promoted into a managerial position because of their operational skills, and if as reported recently in the media, that 7 out of 10 managers should not be let near workers, then perhaps the selection process needs to change. However, it might also be the case that if an organisation uses the performance management process to provide those managers with learning and development opportunities, the level of risk might reduce. Learning and development needs to be viewed as an investment in the future.\nHowever, when performance management processes are reduced to a tick and flick approach where everyone gets the same tick, then a level of mediocrity develops. This may suffice until such stage that a skilled manager comes in and starts communicating with their workers. They can then find allegations being made because some workers perceive the system is being used against them.\nOrganisations can and do introduce a range of difference performance management systems. It does seem that it is the implementation thereof that ends up creating an issue. If managers or workers perceive the system to be time consuming, too bureaucratic, does not value add, or information gathered is used in the manner intended, then the level of risk exposure might increase.\nThere may be times when the performance management process is required to manage a person out of an organisation for various reasons. However, given this should be a last resort when all other options have been tried and tested, problems may occur if the worker indicates that previous assessments only contain high praise, or there has been no 'remedial' or 'corrective action' incorporated into the performance process.\nIt seems that whilst performance management processes conducted in a reasonable way has been and always will be reasonable management actions.\nIn my experience, individuals do not make complaints of bullying at the performance review, although they may from time to time use the review to explain how bullying has impacted on their performance. In my experience they are more likely to perceive that the performance management process is being used as a tool to bully them e.g. being singled out, treated differently to other workers.\nConflict in the system is going to occur when either the manager or the worker or even when both parties have received no formal training on how the process works (and that includes how to lodge a grievance if they are not satisfied with the assessment made).\nSome organisations do provide coaching for all parties so that issues that lead to frustration, angst and complaints can be negated.\nThe communication aspect relating to performance management and appraisals can be the most difficult, and I suspect that has given rise to various publications that outline how and why to have difficult or fierce conversations.\nPeople don't make formal complaints for many reasons e.g. power imbalance, need to maintain income etc. Some of the other barriers that can exist include:\nLack of policy, procedure and training in how to report bullying\nOut of date, not evaluating effectiveness of training\nMistaken belief of what is required to report an incident\nInformal versus formal reporting\nResolution options that provide an option of \u2018doing nothing\u2019\nTarget has to make the decision\nWorkplace culture and practices\nFear and perception\nReward for alleged bully\nIt seems that in fair and just performance management process, managers and workers who engage in regular discussions about performance and productivity would be equally aware of factors that have a positive and negative impact. Waiting until the end of the year tick and flick to raise factors e.g. bullying that may have impacted negatively is an indication that the process is not working.\nDavid | 23 Sep 2014, 10:35 AM Agree 0\nI would like to ask regarding the articles last paragraph:\n\"Woodward will draw on recent case studies and offer tips as to how performance should be managed, to reduce the risk of a successful bullying claim.\"\nSo... as I interpret it, Woodward will not be offering solutions to reduce and prevent bullying in the workplace, just providing legal tips and strategies to prevent success of a claim, regardless of its veracity.\nHR managers and internal legal advisers would in my view be interested in strategies that they can implement on behalf of the organisation to reduce the risk of a successful bullying claim.\nWorkers would be interested in knowing in how they can be successful in achieving a position result in relation to their bullying claim or allegation.\nManagers would probably want to know what they can do to detect workplace bullying, what they can do to prevent or reduce the risk of bullying occurring on their watch.\nAlleged bullies or those accused of using bullying behaviours may want to know how whether or not their actions would be considered reasonable.\nWorkplace trainers and support personnel e.g. Harassment Referral Officers etc may want to understand current trends and issues impacting on workplaces so they can incorporate same into workplace presentations.\nI guess if I were a target sitting in the audience and heard about tips and strategies to prevent the success of a claim, I would use that information to identify any gaps that might weaken my claim or reduce the chances that I have in getting the outcome that I wanted.\nGerard | 23 Sep 2014, 11:00 AM Agree 1\nAwesome comments. I'd propose that there seems to be three levels of performance management \u2014 and organisation, managerial and employee perceptions and responsibilities around performance and bullying are different at each level:\n3. Suitable process exists and is followed\n2. Suitable process exists and is not followed\n1. Suitable process does not exist\nI'd also suggest:\n- the ability of a manager to manage performance is itself part of their own performance that needs to be managed by their own manager\n- the ability of an employee (including a manager as employee) to participate well in the management of their own performance process is itself a performance matter\n- the organisation needs to ensure that a suitable process exists (including appropriate access to resources and training)\nI agree that some managers deliberately or inadvertently end up bullying.\nI agree that some employees use the grievance process inappropriately and falsely claim bullying.\nI agree that some performance management practises are unsuitable and make the experience of bullying or the ability to falsely claim bullying more likely.",

So thank you everyone for joining us. And every episode of Sales Pipeline Radio past, present, and future always available at salespipelineradio.com. We are featuring some of the best and brightest minds in sales and marketing and today is no different. We are continuing EO month, apparently. We had an Entrepreneur Organization member and the founder of 1-800-Got-Junk last week. And today we have the co-founder, CEO of Guidant Financial, David Nilssen joining us today. Dave, thanks so much for joining us on Sales Pipeline Radio.\nDavid: Yeah, thanks for having me.\nMatt: So, excited to have you on the show. Have wanted to get you on for a while to talk about a number of topics. And last week we talked an awful lot about entrepreneurism, and talked about just sort of the tenacity it takes to just be a professional, but also be an entrepreneur. You have been doing this for a very long time. You\u2019ve written your own book, Making the Jump Into Small Business Ownership, which I would encourage people to check out. But really want to spend tonight, want to get into a conversation here with Dave Nilssen from Guidant Financial. They\u2019ve been around for almost 16 years helping small businesses grow with financing options. And Dave, want to talk a little bit about your entrepreneurial journey, before we get into sort of how you have built a sales and marketing engine. What was it about this topic that was a passion for you? And just give a quick story of sort of where you started and how you\u2019ve gotten to this point today.\nDavid: Sure. Well, mine, like many entrepreneurs was accidental. So I was developing real estate here in Washington state and had an opportunity to raise some additional funds. And as I was talking to an attorney one day, she suggested that I look at self-directed IRA\u2019s or retirement plans as a way to help people invest in real estate. And through a process of exploration and discovery realized that not only can people invest retirement assets in real estate, but they can invest in things like small businesses, and private mortgages, and tax liens. And so, we actually initially launched Guidant to help people do that, invest in alternative assets. Over time though, what happened was my co-founder and I realized that we weren\u2019t really as passionate about those alternative investments as we were the businesses themselves.\nAnd so, in the course of sort of figuring out what our model was going to be and connecting with our customers, we realized that the real gap in the marketplace wasn\u2019t helping individuals who are looking to buy or start a business, and needed between about 100K and a million dollars to do that, there was a real gap in terms of them being able to access capital. And so, in addition to helping them use retirement assets, we\u2019ve built an SBA capability and unsecured credit. And so we\u2019ve sort of evolved as we went from more traditional or alternative financial services to really a small business financing organization. But it was accidental. I actually have in my office here a piece of paper. They say people start businesses on the back of the napkin. I\u2019ve got a drawing. And that was really our initial business plan from the get go.\nMatt: That\u2019s fantastic. One thing that stood out to me in that conversation is something I know a lot of people face, either in their businesses or in their career, and it\u2019s the idea of a pivot, right? The idea that you see an opportunity and sometimes you move from what you were doing to something different. I think in hindsight those successful pivots always look like a slam dunk. In the moment, they\u2019re not always a clear cut choice. Could you talk a little bit about that moment of making that pivot, and sort of what you had to go through just sort of mentally to do that. And I\u2019m thinking about that not just for those that might be entrepreneurs, or are thinking about stepping out on their own, but people that are looking at their own even sales and marketing careers and facing an opportunity that isn\u2019t certain, that it sometimes is scary.\nDavid: Yeah. I always love how we talk about it as a moment of time. There\u2019s this moment where you pivoted and everything changed. The reality is, when I talk about the fact that our business shifted, that was a five year process. So it\u2019s something that you start to see, hey, this doesn\u2019t really connect for me, and I\u2019m wondering if this is the right path for us. And then over time what we saw is that we were investing more and more time and energy in the small business component of our operation. And less and less in the alternative asset. So you start to see these resource conflicts that came up within the business, those that were working on the real estate side were concerned that maybe they weren\u2019t getting the time and attention. And so eventually we divested it. We sold that portion of the business to a company who wanted to continue to grow and expand in that area, and that was ultimately best for our customers best for our team members on that side.\nAnd it would give the existing organization, the remaining organization a chance to focus in on who they really wanted to serve, and who we wanted to be long term. I\u2019d like to say that it was a moment in time, but the reality is it was a long, painful decision because you\u2019re talking about people, your clients, your employees. And as entrepreneurs you have this sort of emotional attachment to this thing that you\u2019re building. So, not easy.\nMatt: No, not easy at all. And I think we could probably spend the whole show talking on the concept of pivot as a process. Which I think is something that a lot of people that have been through that, both successfully and unsuccessfully can talk about. But I want to cover today, and we talked before, as we sort of talked about all the different topics we could cover in this conversation. I want to talk about the sales and marketing engine you have built. As a lot of people, you start the business, you start to figure out what are people looking for? What does our sales process look like? And as you\u2019ve grown the business successfully over the last 16 years, you really have developed an engine for growth of the not only supporting your growth goals, but also you\u2019re doing it without making cold calls. You\u2019re doing it without having to do a lot of complicated, and sometimes just frustrating outbound selling efforts. So I wanted to talk a little bit about sort of how you came to that process, and how you\u2019ve been able to sort of systematize and scale that.\nDavid: Yeah. Well let me start by just talking philosophically. And no offense to those that are listening to this podcast, but in general I hate being sold. So, there\u2019s a stigma in general with, and I\u2019m using air quotes, you can\u2019t see it, but with salespeople. Because I personally don\u2019t like going through the process of trying to be sold. And so, when we designed our system initially, I was chief cook and bottle washer because when we started this thing, it was just two of us. And I was the one that was focused on sort of developing and generating our revenue engine. And so I had to build a system that allowed me to play to my strengths, but also felt like it was the right thing for our clients. Now, we were fortunate in that we started this business at a time that our industry was a little bit immature. There wasn\u2019t a ton of competition. And so we had the benefit of having a lot of potential interest, and not a lot of competition for those individuals.\nAnd so, the things that I tried to do was make sure that we were providing good information to the marketplace, that we were meeting people where they wanted to consume that information. So we\u2019re providing in lots of different ways. And then making it easy for them to engage with us. And so that system was sort of built under the premise of making it simple for people to engage, and not having them feel sold. So, we are a financial firm, so we are helping people look at ways that they can capitalize the business. But we try to take a more of a care and empathy approach than a clinical one.\nMatt: Yeah. I\u2019ve heard a lot of people characterize that approach in different ways. And one of the ways I\u2019ve heard that is, you\u2019re not selling, you\u2019re helping. I\u2019m curious how you think about that moment when you do in some cases, even if you are providing value to someone, even if you\u2019re sort of coming to a mutually beneficial agreement, even when you\u2019re sort of enabling some outcome they care about, there still is part of that is the moment of getting a close, right? I mean, I assume you\u2019re not just waiting for them to on their own volition, say yes. That even as we sit here on the last day of January, I\u2019m sure you are staring at a dashboard and hoping to hit a certain number, and not just hoping and praying it happens, but also putting things in place to compel people to make a decision now versus next month, or now versus later. How do you bring those together? How do you provide a very customer centric benefit outcome oriented process, but still manage to close?\nDavid: Yeah, that\u2019s a good question. And it\u2019s one that I think we struggled with for a long period of time. I can tell you what works for us, and that is taking a little bit longer perspective. So for example, a moment ago you made the comment about me staring at a dashboard. Well, we actually work off quarterly targets, and quarterly plans, versus monthly ones. Because I personally wasn\u2019t a big fan of every single month us having these real big ebbs and flows in terms of our energy, and effort, and sales. And it just put extra stress on the team. And so, we built our sales engine to have a little bit longer perspective. In addition to that, we wanted to make sure that while we provide lots of potential services, that our compensation strategy doesn\u2019t cater towards one of those products any more than the others. And so we wanted to make sure that people could be objective about what they are suggesting a client consider.\nThe other thing that I would say is that, the way that we generate our business is with a lot of sort of inbound marketing tactics. And a big part of that is our channel. Right now, about 50% of our business is either coming from customer referrals or channel referrals. That\u2019s a big number. And so we have to take really good care of those customers, because word travels fast. So for us, we\u2019ve tried to take that long view, make sure that our internal practices and plans certainly support that. And then make sure that we understand that we are serving a base where our reputation is going to either enable or disable our ability to grow.\nMatt: Talking today on Sales Pipeline Radio with Dave Nilssen, he\u2019s the co-founder and CEO of Guidant Financial. And real quick, before we have to take a quick commercial break here, we talked about the machine you guys have built from a sales and marketing standpoint. And one of the metrics you guys look at is appointment set. So not just so those inbound leads and inbound requests, but the number of appointments you get set to sort of move things along. Talk a little bit about how you characterize appointments to make sure that it\u2019s not just a number that the sales team is hitting, but something that the prospect themselves is enthusiastically signing up for and committing to as well.\nDavid: Yeah. So, I\u2019ll try and do this really quickly. We can dig in after the break if we need to. But we generate a tremendous amount of leads on a monthly basis. And so we have to be very careful who we are spending our time with. And so we have a team of individuals who spend their time calling down on these people that have inquired about the stuff that we do. And try and extract a little bit of information to understand whether or not we are potentially a good fit. About half the time we realize we\u2019re actually not a great fit. And so it\u2019s both in our interest and this perspective small business owner\u2019s interest to give them resources to help them continue their search, and maybe get where they want to go, but recognize that we\u2019re probably not the right company to do that for them.\nThose that do though qualify in, meaning that we think we could potentially be a good fit, then we set these appointments. And so the appointments then are more of a deep dive, where we\u2019re really giving our gold, and educating the client on the ways that they capitalize their business. Because this is a very high stakes transaction for individuals, arguably the largest investment that they will make in their lifetime. And so it is not a sales process. It really is an educational one. So they\u2019re excited there\u2019s something to gain from it.\nMatt: That\u2019s awesome. I think that\u2019s the only way you can do it and do it successfully is when, if you set an appointment with someone and that day comes, and they\u2019ve got other fire drills and things that they\u2019re supposed to be doing. If they don\u2019t know why they\u2019re setting up to that appointment, or what they\u2019re going to get out of it, it\u2019s a lot easier just to blow it off. But if they know they\u2019re going to learn, they\u2019re going to get some insights, they\u2019re going to get some value, they remain committed to the process and the appointment. But we got a lot more coming up here with Dave Nilssen, the co-founder and CEO of Guidant Financial. We\u2019re going to talk about the content strategy they\u2019ve put together and how that\u2019s been so successful in helping drive their inbound leads. We\u2019re going to be talking about internal culture, and why that\u2019s so important to building a successful sales and marketing engine, and why it\u2019s been so important to Guidant. We\u2019ll be right back after paying a couple bills here. This is Sales Pipeline Radio.\nMatt: Next week on Sales Pipeline Radio, I will be joining you live from the heart of the vortex in Chicago. And I\u2019ll be out there with a client\u2019s marketing kickoff for the year. But Sales Pipeline Radio rolls on. We are going to be featuring next week, Alex Shootman. He is the CEO of Workfront. And has recently written and published a new book on not just hitting your number but doing it the right way. And I\u2019ve known Alex for a very long time, from back in his time at Eloqua and he is one of my favorites in this topic of integrity, and doing business, and doing sales with integrity, and doing business the right way. So very excited next week to have Alex Shootman joining us on Sales Pipeline Radio. Want to continue our conversation today with Dave Nilssen, the co-founder and CEO of Guidant Financial.\nAnd I want to get to some of your content in a minute. Because if anybody that\u2019s listening that is an entrepreneur, or working in a small business, whether or not you\u2019re looking for funding has an awful lot to learn from the content you create, and we\u2019ll point some of that out in a minute. But I want to talk about culture. Because I think that topic we\u2019re going to cover next week with Alex around hitting the number but doing it the right way, I know is a big focus of yours with your co-founder and partner winning best places to work. I know it is a huge source of pride for you. Talk a little bit about the importance of culture, and what you\u2019ve done to build a culture that facilitates the sales success and growth that you\u2019ve seen.\nDavid: Yeah. Well, I mean, I say this to nearly every single new team member that we bring on. My personal belief is you spend more time at work than you do with your family, so you better enjoy what you do. Believe in what you\u2019re providing to them. Enjoy the people that you work with. So we work really hard to foster a culture here that is passionate about the entrepreneurs that we serve, wants to invest in the community that we all sort of live and work in every single day, and ultimately make a difference in the lives of these people that are starting businesses, and creating jobs, and taking ownership over their own life. So it\u2019s very important, because I would take personally someone that\u2019s a great cultural fit over a great skills fit any day.\nMatt: If you check out the Guidant Financial page, just even on LinkedIn, you see a lot of great examples of sort of the investment you\u2019ve made in your people. The growth you put into, not just the growth of the company, but also in new markets. Just recently, I think it was just earlier this month, you guys launching a new office in Boise, Idaho. And really contributing to a number of different markets, and providing jobs and great cultures for a lot of people. What you also see on that LinkedIn page is a lot of the great content you have. You can just scroll down and you see topics on the top five startups of last year and what you can learn from them. You see the value of hiring with emotional intelligence. And there\u2019s a wide variety of content, and I set this up somewhat facetiously, it is not about funding. It doesn\u2019t go right for the throat and say, would you like to expand your business? Can we provide you funding?\nYou clearly have put a focus in your content strategy on providing a wide variety of value added content for your target. Can you talk a little bit about the strategy behind that? And how you\u2019ve been able to successfully convert that into pipeline a new business.\nDavid: Yeah. Well let me start with our content strategy, and sort of some of the core tenants behind that. I mean, if you look at the vision that we have, our vision is to increase the number of people that succeed in small business. It has nothing to do with helping them access capital, giving them money. That\u2019s a catalyst to the reason they come to us. They come to us because they want to open a business. They want to take control over their lives, and their financial futures, and invest in themselves. That\u2019s why they come to us. And so for us, the way that we serve them, and the way that we generate value per se in that is by helping them access capital. But where we can best serve them is by educating them, and helping them understand ways that they could be more successful as a business owner.\nIt\u2019s also a way that we reach more of these perspective entrepreneurs and start to nurture them over time is by providing them great content. So just like you pointed out there, we want to make sure that we\u2019re covering the gamut of issues that affect small business owners, not just the thing that is self-serving.\nMatt: And that\u2019s an intentional strategy, right? To be able to sort of build some value. And is part of that knowing that some of your prospects that are highly qualified as prospects just aren\u2019t ready to buy today. Talk a little bit about sort of that top of funnel strategy and how it relates to the timing of when people may or may not be ready to engage in sort of an actual purchase decision, or at least purchase process.\nDavid: Well, it\u2019s funny. So we survey our customers, or sorry our prospects every single year. And we ask them the question, where are you at in your process? Blah, blah, blah. We do the same thing with our customers. And what we find from our customers is, the number one reason they bought a business because an opportunity presented itself. And that\u2019s pretty interesting, because we generate thousands of leads per month. A significant number of them won\u2019t move forward right away. And so what that means is that they\u2019re thinking about this, they\u2019re open to the idea, but they haven\u2019t found the right opportunity. For us, we sort of played the mortgage professional role in a real estate transaction. So somebody could be looking online at Redfin or Zillow, they could be working with an agent, but they don\u2019t actually need to really get a mortgage until they\u2019ve found a transaction. Right? A deal to do. And so for us, as people are starting to think about this and dream about it, they start searching the web looking for information.\nAnd so this is part of our acquisition strategy is to provide good, relevant, credible content to the market that helps move them towards a transaction over time. And of course, once we\u2019ve had an opportunity to capture a little bit of the information, then we certainly do make sure that we continue to keep our information in front of them, so that when the time is right, our hope is that we\u2019ve established a level of trust and credibility with them that they\u2019ll want to engage.\nMatt: Well, I just have a couple more minutes here with Dave Nilssen, the co-founder and CEO of Guidant Financial. We\u2019ve been talking about the key components of building a scalable sales engine. And part of that is the people themselves. Not just the culture you provide for the organization overall, but the very people you hire to begin with. Can you talk a little bit about, what are some of the attributes that you look for in a successful sales rep as you continue to scale your inside sales team? You may be looking for experience, but what are the components or attributes of new sales reps that you\u2019ve seen that most lead to success in your organization?\nDavid: Yeah. So when I\u2019m doing interviews with our sales professionals, there\u2019s really, I don\u2019t know, four to five attributes that I\u2019m on personally looking to assess. Certainly I want to understand, do they have some experience? Have they seen success in the past doing this? But the things that I really care about is, are they a learner? What are they doing to stay sharp on sort of modern practices? How are they continuing to stretch and grow themselves? The second is, I actually tried to find a way inside of that to role play so that we can actually do some live coaching, because coachability, in my opinion, is one of the greatest keys to success for someone who\u2019s going to take on a sales career. And then, knowing that Guidant is a dynamic and evolving organization, one of our core values is adaptability. We need people who are willing to sort of roll with the changes, and adapt as we try, and fail, and succeed in various ways.\nAnd then the fourth is a level of humility. Understanding who they are, and where they\u2019re strong, and where they need support, or where they can get better. And the final one is just a passion for entrepreneurship. I mean, no matter where you work, as good as the culture can be, as fun as it is, sometimes it actually does feel like a job. And so, you\u2019ve still got to be passionate about the role that you play and the customer that you serve. So those are the things that I look for when I\u2019m talking to potentially a hiring someone in a sales capacity.\nMatt: That\u2019s a great list. And I think oftentimes, especially when people look for sales reps, we look at their past experience, we want to see that they\u2019ve been successful selling somewhere else. And as for those that have built and run sales organizations, you learn the hard way that just past experience does not mean they\u2019re necessarily going be successful in your industry, in your culture, in a different environment. So I think those attributes oftentimes are better indicators of whether someone\u2019s going to be successful, and scale and grow in your business. Well, almost out of time here. But I want to ask you one final question. I think you mentioned one of the attributes you look for in new hires is you look for people that are hungry, and people that are lifelong learners. Yourself as a learner, and I know just knowing you the last few years through EO, you continue to be a voracious learner.\nYou read, and you always want to learn new things. Who were some of the people that stand out in your learning experience, in your history of learning? People that are either authors, or mentors, past managers. They can be alive or dead. People that you might recommend others listening to the show look for, and keep an eye out for, or seek to get some guidance and learning as well.\nDavid: Sure. Well, a couple of people come to mind right out of the gates. So one is a gentleman named Lex Sisney. Lex was the founder of Commission Junction. He wrote a book called Organizational Physics The Science Behind Growing a Business. So he takes rules of science and applies them to growing a business. I love his concepts in terms of how he thinks about product development, designing the sort of organizational structure and some of the processes that you can implement in order to run a business more efficiently. So, for your listeners out there, Lex Sisney is probably the single greatest mentor that I\u2019ve had in my professional life.\nThen the other one that I would just say is, one of the books that I subscribe to, the concepts and just personally feel like a lot of our business is designed around, is The Toyota Way. So the purpose of using lean methodology to learn fast, not launch fast is something that we try to live every single day. So there\u2019s one person and one resource that I think anyone who wants to learn about what it takes to own and operate a small business would find really, really interesting. And I think there\u2019s a lot of concepts there that apply to those that want to remain in a revenue generating role.\nMatt: Love it, love it. Well, thank you so much for that. We will put links to those resources in our show notes, and in the blog posts we put up on this as well. So, if you liked what you heard today from David Nilssen on this episode of Sales Pipeline Radio, we will have this entire episode of course up available on demand at salespipelineradio.com in a couple of days. We\u2019ll also have a summary of this conversation up on our blog heinzmarketing.com, along with links to the Guidant Financial webpage. You can see more of their content strategy firsthand, as well as some of the resources Dave has recommended that have been influential to him. So thanks so much Dave for joining us today. We will be back next week with more from deep in the heart of the upper Midwest, in the, hopefully not quite as cold polar vortex, but very excited for our conversation with Workfront CEO, Alex Shootman. We\u2019re out of time for today. Thanks so much for joining us for another episode of Sales Pipeline Radio. For my great producer, Paul. This has been Matt Heinz. We\u2019ll see you next week.\nSales Pipeline Radio, Episode 151: Q&A with Brian Scudamore @BrianScudamore\nSales Pipeline Radio, Episode 150: Q&A with John Crowley @justjohncrowley\nSales Pipeline Radio, Episode 149: Q&A with Tiffani Bova @Tiffani_Bova",

With experience of working alongside local authorities, corporate occupiers and private landowners, we can advise on the full range of development options, often dealing with the complexities of multiple-party interests and site constraints.\nThe availability of new developments has reduced over recent years, particularly in the industrial and office markets. Without new accommodation becoming available, secondhand property has also become difficult to obtain, causing stagnation in the occupier market. We advise clients on development opportunities and over the past 12 months have been involved in the acquisition and disposal of over 50 acres of development land including redundant factory buildings, much of which has been converted into a range of buildings for industrial, storage, office and leisure uses.\nWhile the availability of development sites across the south remains limited, we continue to to look to identify sites for developer clients, both greenfield and brownfield, which in some instances are suitable for the residential sector.\nWe are pleased to offer initial advice with no obligation to land owners with regards to the development potential of a site.

        "raw_content": "5 Notorious Female Pirates\nTake a look back at the criminal careers of five of history\u2019s most ferocious seafaring women.\n1. Cheng I Sao\nOne of history\u2019s most influential raiders began her career in a Chinese brothel. Cheng I Sao, or the \u201cwife of Cheng,\u201d was a Cantonese former prostitute who married a powerful corsair named Cheng I in 1801. The husband and wife team soon raised one of China\u2019s most formidable pirate armies. Their outfit boasted hundreds of ships and some 50,000 men, and it preyed on the fishing vessels, supply junks and the coastal villages of Southern China with impunity.\nUpon her husband\u2019s death in 1807, Mrs. Cheng elbowed her way into power and partnered with a trusted lieutenant and lover named Chang Pao. Over the next few years, she plundered her way across Southeast Asia and assembled a fleet that rivaled many countries\u2019 navies. She also penned a rigorous code of conduct for her pirates. Rape of female prisoners was punishable by beheading, and deserters had their ears lopped off. Mrs. Cheng\u2019s bloody reign made her public enemy number one of the Chinese government, and in 1810, the British and Portuguese navies were enlisted to bring her to justice. Rather than duking it out at sea, she shrewdly agreed to surrender her fleet and lay down her cutlass in exchange for the right to keep her ill-gotten riches. Mrs. Cheng retired as one of history\u2019s most successful pirates, and went on to run a gambling house until her death in 1844 at the age of 69.\nCredit: The Print Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images\nThe notorious pirate Anne Bonny began her life as the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy Irish lawyer. In an effort to hide her dubious parentage, her father had her dress a boy and pose as his law clerk for part of her youth. She later moved to America, where she married a sailor in 1718 and journeyed to the pirate-infested island of New Providence in the Bahamas. There, she abandoned her husband and fell under the spell of \u201cCalico\u201d Jack Rackam, a flamboyant buccaneer who plied his trade in the Caribbean.\nBonny had always been known for her \u201cfierce and courageous temper\u201d\u2014according to one legend, she nearly beat a man to death when he tried to force himself on her\u2014and she quickly showed she could guzzle rum, curse and wield a pistol and cutlass with the best of Calico Jack\u2019s crew. She later forged a friendship with fellow female pirate Mary Read, and the pair played a leading role in a spree of raids against small fishing boats and trading sloops in the summer and fall of 1720. Bonny\u2019s stint on the high seas was cut short that October, when Calico Jack\u2019s ship was captured by a band of pirate-hunters. Calico Jack and several other men were executed, but Bonny and Read dodged the noose after they were both found to be pregnant.\n3. Mary Read\nCredit: Culture Club/Getty Images\nBorn in England in the late-17th century, Mary Read spent most of her youth disguised as her deceased half-brother so that her penniless mother could scam the boy\u2019s grandmother. Hoping to quench her thirst for adventure, she later adopted the name Mark Read and took on a succession of traditionally male jobs, first as a soldier and later as a merchant sailor. Read turned pirate in the late-1710s, after buccaneers attacked the ship she was working on and impressed her into their ranks. She later found her way aboard Calico Jack Rackam\u2019s boat, where she met and befriended Anne Bonny and revealed herself to be a woman.\nRead only sailed with Calico Jack for a few months, but during that time she won a fearsome reputation. One of her most famous exploits came in October 1720, when she and Bonny fought like banshees during an attack by pirate-hunters. \u201cIf there\u2019s a man among ye,\u201d she supposedly screamed at the male buccaneers cowering below decks, \u201cye\u2019ll come up and fight like the man ye are to be!\u201d Despite Read\u2019s heroics, she and the rest of Calico Jack\u2019s crew were captured and charged with piracy. Read avoided execution by admitting she was \u201cquick with child,\u201d but she later came down with a fever and died in prison.\n4. Grace O\u2019Malley\nClew Bay, where O\u2019Malley was based. (Credit: Universal History Archive/Getty Images)\nDuring a time when most women were denied an education and kept restrained to their homes, pirate Grace O\u2019Malley led a 20-ship fleet that stood up to the might of the British monarchy. Also known as \u201cGranuaille,\u201d or \u201cbald,\u201d for her habit of cutting her hair short, O\u2019Malley was born into a powerful clan that lorded over the coastlines of western Ireland. After taking the reigns in the 1560s, she continued a family tradition of piracy by plundering English and Spanish shipping vessels and attacking rival chieftains. Her escapades were legendary\u2014one tale claims she did battle at sea only a day after giving birth\u2014but they also drew the ire of the authorities. She was forced to repel a siege against her stronghold at Rockfleet Castle in 1574, and later did 18 months behind bars after she was captured during one of her raids.\nO\u2019Malley resumed her marauding after her release, but more trouble arrived in the early 1590s, when British authorities impounded her fleet. With nowhere else to turn, the 63-year-old buccaneer appealed directly to Queen Elizabeth I for assistance. During a famous royal audience in London, O\u2019Malley portrayed herself as a tired and broken old woman and begged the Queen to return her ships, release one of her captured sons and allow her to retire in peace. The gambit worked, but it seems that \u201cGranuaille\u201d didn\u2019t keep up her end of the bargain\u2014records show that she and her sons continued pirating until her death in 1603.\n5. Rachel Wall\nBoston Harbor (Credit: Buyenlarge/Getty Images)\nRachel Wall\u2019s biography is peppered with myths and legends, but if certain tales about her are true, she was one of the first and only American women to try her hand at piracy. As the story goes, Wall was a Pennsylvania native who ran away from home as a teen and married a fisherman named George Wall. The couple settled in Boston and tried to scrape out a living, but constant money problems eventually led them to turn to a life of crime. In 1781, the Walls procured a small boat, teamed with a few low-life mariners and began preying on ships off the coast of New England. Their strategy was as ingenious as it was brutal. Whenever a storm passed through the region, the buccaneers would dress their boat up to look like it had been ravaged by rough seas. The comely Rachel would then stand on the deck and plead for aid from passing ships. When the unsuspecting rescuers came near, they were promptly boarded, robbed and murdered.\nWall\u2019s siren song may have lured as many as a dozen ships to their doom, but her luck ran out in 1782, when a real storm destroyed her boat and killed George. She continued her thieving on land, and was later arrested in 1789 for attacking and robbing a Boston woman. While in prison, she penned a confession admitting to \u201cSabbath-breaking, stealing, lying, disobedience to parents, and almost every other sin a person could commit, except murder.\u201d Unfortunately for Wall, the mea culpa was not enough to sway the authorities. On October 8, she became the last woman ever executed in Massachusetts when she was hanged to death in Boston\n6 Famous Pirate Strongholds\n8 Notorious Kidnappings\n5 Famous Pyrrhic Victories",

The last Thai troops were withdrawn from Vietnam in April 1972. In addition to providing troops, Thailand also provided bases for the U.S. Air Force, which included four tactical fighter wings. In addition, strategic bombing missions by B-52s over both North and South Vietnam were flown from U.S. bases in Thailand.

Santa shows himself in the form of men and women who eat far less milk and cookies.\nI watch the Team and Individual Events whenever I can to stay up to date on who\u2019s on top of the leaderboard and cheer and yell at my favorite athletes on screen as they are tested with some of the most grueling workouts any sportsman or woman has ever seen. Picture the Olympics, the best of the best in their sport, but with trials that combine Olympic lifting, endurance running, cycling, open water swimming, gymnastics, and strongman events, all in a matter of a few days.\nThese athletes are the closest to superheroes in terms of strength, stamina, cardiovascular endurance, agility, speed, balance, and coordination that you'll find. Fittest man and fittest woman on Earth are not titles that are given lightly and it is literally \"awe\"some to watch these men and women do things.\nSo why should you watch?\n1. To see what the human body is capable of.\nThis is pretty self-explanatory, but some people don\u2019t realize just how hard it is to even make it to the Games\u2122 in the first place! These athletes, who are lucky enough to compete, have made it their life\u2019s work to train every day for hours just for the chance to go to Madison.\nOnce they get there, they\u2019ll face only a few disclosed workouts; the rest are revealed to them just moments before it\u2019s time to start competing! But that's what CrossFit prepares you for- the \u201cUnknown\" and the \"Unknowable.\" Just like life. In training, it's emphasized day in and day out over the course of the entire year.\nAthletes will be challenged with various events including an endurance swim and run, a cycling course, an obstacle course... their 1 rep max Snatch (Olympic lift) and much more grueling, holy cow type workouts. Some of these individuals can lift two times or more of their body weight (like ants and beetles!) after completing events earlier that same day. These finely chiseled bodies weren't made from hours of Netflix, but hours of lifting, running, jumping, and climbing. Pushing their bodies to the limits. And it is most definitely a spectacle.\n2. The CrossFit Games\u2122 shows the world the importance of community and support.\nCrossFit takes physical and mental strength. It's not easy to keep a cheery disposition when lifting whoknowshowmuch over your head, and that's where connection, community, sportsmanship, and support come in from every angle. Icelandic athlete versus American athlete? Good job. Hand shake. Laughter. Everyone is competing on the same floor, the same space, and no one will leave that floor until the time runs out or the last athlete has completed his or her workout. No man or woman left behind. PERIOD.\nPersonal record breakthroughs? Claps and cheers. Winners? Heck yeah, person who did that thing! Speaking from experience, it\u2019s a really cool feeling when you have a group of your peers cheering you on through something bigger than yourself. Sometimes, it's a teammate's voice that gets you through your \"dark place.\"\nDuring Team Competitions, 6 individuals work together, sometimes even in unison (yes, synchronized!) to complete brutal workouts. The notorious \"worm,\" which you'll discover when you watch, is yet again, physically and mentally taxing. Relying on teammates, trusting their abilities and cheering others on, it's a wonderful, beautiful thing.\n3. It's a demonstration of the broad reach of fitness across multiple generations\nThis is what I love most. There\u2019s a Teens level of competition as well as the Master\u2019s level, which spans to age 60 and up. People almost twice my age are killin\u2019 it out there! How inspirational is that? Brb- have to wipe the tears from eyes. As a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, it's motivating to see the continuation of strength and perseverance from older competitors. And the Teens competition shows us the bright future of the sport; that\u2019s SO EXCITING! From all walks of life, all ages, what a cross-generational conglomeration of awesomeness.\nLooking to get some new gear?\nCheck out our 2017 Best Shoes for CrossFit blog or shop online.",

        "raw_content": "Parents Television Council Blasts Sex Episode of 'Glee' as 'Appalling'\n12:51 PM PST 3/9/2011 by Lindsay Powers\n\"Real-world teachers don't lap dance with their students,\" says Dan Isett, the group's director of public policy, of Gwyneth Paltrow.\nThe Parents Television Council is up in arms about Tuesday night's episode of Glee, which featured a scantily-clad Gwyneth Paltrow opening up her shirt, the club dancing provocatively and two students talking about making a sex tape.\nDan Isett, the group's director of public policy, tells The Hollywood Reporter the scenes he watched were \"pretty appalling.\"\nPHOTOS: Behind the scenes of Glee\n\"Most notably was the discussion between a couple of students about wanting to become famous by making a sex tape,\" said Isett, referring to Puckerman (Mark Salling) and Lauren Zizes (Ashley Fink) -- who decided not to make a tape after Paltrow's sub teacher, Holly Holliday, informed them it would be child pornography because they're under 18. \"Exactly what kind of message is that?\"\n\"It's sort of funny how the show has evolved,\" Isett goes on of the series, which was the highest-rated on TV Tuesday night. \"Because they sort of subconsciously put in these sections that talk about real consequences of behavior like that, but then focus on more [bad] behavior. They try to have it both ways.\"\nRELATED: Inside the hot business of Glee\n\"It sends a muddled message, frankly,\" Isett adds. \"I'm sure if you were to talk to Fox or [creator] Ryan Murphy, they would say they're trying to present an honest portrayal, and that it makes it easier for kids to talk to their parents about these issues, and all of that is certainly commendable. But at the same time, the show is based on making sexual content look cool. That's why it's a popular show.\u201d\nIsett was not a fan of the scene in which Paltrow and several students ripped open their shirts while dancing suggestively to \"Do You Wanna Touch Me.\"\n\"If you had a real-life instance of that, I think it's fair to say the teacher involved would no longer be a teacher,\" he says. \"But somehow it's acceptable for a fictional teacher to do this. Again, this is a real problem. Real-world teachers don't lap dance with their students.\"\nIsett didn't see the scene in which Kurt Hummel's (Chris Colfer) father responsibly explained sex and the ramifications, but says, \"kudos for having a real discussion about those things. You really don't see a responsible sex talk on TV very often.\"\nBut the Parents Television Council doesn't appreciate the show mocking the celibacy club.\n\"From the beginning of the episode, it was pretty clear the gist of it was going to be that abstinence is off the table,\" says Isett, \"and we're going to make the celibacy club look like the nerds convention essentially. There was very little doubt -- despite the sort of lip service the show gave to responsible sexual activity -- that the gist of the show was lap dances with students is cool, the celibacy club is not, and when it's presented in that way, it really cheapens whatever discussion there is about consequence and responsibility.\"\n\"It seems like they're running out of risqu\u00e9 topics,\" snipes Isett. \"They've done the full-on sex episode, so what's left? It'll be interesting how they continue to write the show.\"",

(Photo: Lauren Collins)\nWe Need a Law group \u2018advocates for fetal interest\u2019 protection: legal counsel\nIn a sea of pink flags at Holland Park, volunteers took the time to answer questions about imbalanced birth rates in Canada on International Day of the Girl.\nTabitha Ewert, the legal counsel for We Need a Law, said the goal of Thursday\u2019s (Oct. 11) event was to shine a spotlight on gender-based violence that happens around the world, \u201cand even here in Canada.\u201d\n\u201cSpecifically, we want to talk about sex-selection abortion which is pre-born women who are targeted just because they\u2019re women,\u201d Ewert said.\nShe said this is the first time the group has done an all pink flag display, adding that the displays are usually pink and blue flags.\n\u201cWe\u2019ll either have 100,000 (flags) to represent the 100,000 abortions that happen every year in Canada or sometimes we\u2019ll do 10,000 or a smaller one.\u201d\nSex-selection abortion, she said, is not widely talked about.\n\u201cI think when it does get talked about, it gets talked about as a problem in other countries \u2014 that\u2019s generally the way people talk about it. They don\u2019t realize it\u2019s happening here in Canada too.\u201d\nA news release from We Need a Law states that researchers \u201cpoint to sex-selective abortion, which is allowed in Canada, as a contributor to this imbalance.\u201d\n\u201cNaturally, about 105 boys are born for every 100 girls,\u201d according to the release.\nIn South Asian families with two girls and one or more reported abortions after that, \u201cthe ratio shifts up to 280 boys for every 100 girls,\u201d the news release adds.\n\u201cIt was initially thought that sex-selective abortions in South Asian communities would decrease with the next generation. This most recent study, however, confirms that second-generation South Asian women, born in Canada, continue to show this preference for boys,\u201d states the release, referencing a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.\nEwert said the focus is not on the community, but that sex-selection abortions are happening at all.\n\u201cCanada is a multicultural country. We value the fact that we have people from all over the world here, so if it affects one community, it affects everyone,\u201d she said.\nThe release states that abortion \u201cdisproportionately targets baby girls.\u201d\n\u201cAbortion is not about a woman\u2019s right to choose \u2013 it is about taking away a child\u2019s right to live, and it makes a statement about the value, or lack thereof, that we place on women in Canada when we allow sex-selective abortion,\u201d the release reads.\nTabitha Ewert, legal counsel for We Need A Law, explains why there are 50,000 pink flags at Holland Park today. #SurreyBC @SurreyNowLeader pic.twitter.com/o1x1sYUJUv\n\u2014 Lauren Collins (@laurenpcollins1) October 11, 2018\nEwert said it\u2019s important that sex-selection abortion doesn\u2019t continue to occur in Canada.\n\u201cWe understand that rights are really important and that should start even before birth.\u201d\nWe Need a Law, Ewert said, \u201cadvocates for fetal interest to be protected by Canadian law.\u201d\n\u201cWe\u2019re having people sign a petition that calls on the government to condemn sex-selection abortion.\u201d\nWe Need a Law, according to its website, was launched in 2012.\nIts three main initiatives are: Protect a Woman\u2019s Right to Have Her Child, Defend Girls and End Late-Term Abortion.\nThursday\u2019s event was part of the Defend Girls initiative.\nFor more information, visit defendgirls.com.\nFifty-thousand flags were put into the ground at Holland Park on Thursday, Oct. 11 on International Day of the Girl.

        "raw_content": "Iraqis attack Fallujah, recalling fiercest U.S. fight since Vietnam\nU.S. plans peripheral role in fight against Islamic State group\nBy Mitchell Prothero, MCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS July 13, 2015\nIraqi security forces backed by Shiite and Sunni pro-government fighters on Monday prepare to \ufefffight Islamic State militants in an attempt to dislodge them from Fallujah\ufeff, Iraq\ufeff.\nPhoto: Uncredited, STR\nIRBIL, Iraq - Eleven years after U.S. forces launched what's widely described as the fiercest American military operation since the Vietnam War, Iraqi forces loyal to the government in Baghdad have begun a long-awaited operation to retake the predominantly Sunni Muslim city of Fallujah.\nWhen the Americans set out to capture Fallujah in April 2004, it was under the control of al-Qaida in Iraq, the precursor of the Islamic State, whose fighters have held onto the city for the past 18 months.\nThis time, the Americans plan only a peripheral role in the coming fight. In the lead now are Iranian-trained and -equipped Shiite Muslim militias - some of whose members, ironically, fought against American forces during the U.S. occupation of their country.\nThe Iraqi Defense Ministry announced Monday that the militias and loyalist troops had surrounded the city of 500,000 and were beginning operations to capture it - a task that in 2004 took U.S. Marines two separate assaults six months apart and, in total, three months of hard fighting. By the time the 2-month-long Second Battle of Fallujah ended in December 2004, more than 100 Americans were dead and the city had been all but leveled by a torrent of artillery rounds, precision guided missiles and tens of thousands of bullets from automatic weapons. Enemy casualties were estimated at 1,500.\nIn a statement on state television, Iraqi military officials said that Monday's assault, which began after six weeks of preliminary bombardment, had been greeted with heavy resistance from the militants, including no less than five suicide car bombs and a number of gunfights on various axes around the city.\nNo surprise. Fallujah has from the beginning of the American occupation been the heart of the Sunni insurgency, first against the American occupation and then against the Baghdad-based Shiite-led government that Sunni Muslims have long accused of mistreating them and ignoring their needs.\nThe Sunni tribes of Anbar province were the first major group to resist the American occupation. Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the now dead extremist who founded al-Qaida in Iraq, already had developed a network of support and manpower there when Fallujah became a death trap for four Blackwater security contractors who were escorting a shipment of food. Ambushed on March 31, 2004, their burned bodies were dragged through the city, then dangled iconically from a city bridge.\nIn its current incarnation, the Islamic State has controlled Fallujah since January 2014, months before the group became the focus of a U.S.-led international coalition after it captured Mosul on June 10, 2014, and swept across northern and southern Iraq, scattering fleeing Iraqi government troops.\nIraqi officials have been candid that the brunt of the fighting about to engulf the city will be borne by an umbrella group of Shiite militia groups formed under the supervision of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the elite of Shiite Iran. That's raised dire concerns from American advisers that these sectarian groups - overtly hostile to American and Sunni Muslims - will break the already deeply frayed relationship between the Shiite government in Baghdad and the Sunni tribes that dominate the large swaths of Iraq currently under the Islamic State's control.\nThe government claims that Sunni tribal fighters and local policemen from Anbar will join the militia-led assault. But many remain skeptical that Sunnis have joined in sufficient numbers to avoid the impression of a Shiite pogrom against Sunnis in Fallujah.\nThe offensive is expected to last weeks, if not months. The Iraqi military and its Shiite militia allies have shown little ability to fight effectively in urban areas without taking huge casualties; the assault on Tikrit, another Sunni city that had been in Islamic State hands for months, claimed hundreds of militia lives in its first weeks.",

        "title": "An Initial Experience of the xAPI",
        "raw_content": "This blog represents my own opinions about the xAPI from my personal experience with it and does not represent the views of everyone maintaining Learning Locker. I do however share some of the thoughts shared by Aaron in one of his recent blog posts and I would suggest that anyone reading this also reads that.\nI have been interacting with the xAPI for over a month now and whilst I can see why it\u2019s useful in terms of analysing experiences to enhance learning, I can\u2019t see it becoming a useful standard in its current form due to a lack of separation and adoption. I believe the specification must be separated into smaller specifications to (a) increase adoption, (b) reduce complexity, and (c) encourage modular implementations.\nSplitting the specification into smaller specifications can increase adoption since other specifications can use the same parts. For example the xAPI currently shares parts with Activity Streams but these parts have been completely re-specified by the xAPI when instead the parts could be specified in the same way in one specification to improve interoperability between the two specifications. Additionally, increasing adoption means that there are more people maintaining the specification.\nReducing the complexity of the xAPI may also increase adoption since it becomes easier to understand for newcomers. This would be achieved by splitting up the specification into smaller parts as (a) these parts could be used in other specifications that newcomers could be familiar with, and (b) the dependencies of the parts and their scope would be far more obvious.\nFinally, splitting up the xAPI would probably encourage modular implementations, for example someone may just want to validate that the data meets the specified data model instead of implementing the API too, etc. Multiple LRSs could then use the same validator and have their own API implementation hence reducing their workload.\nI\u2019m not 100% on what the parts could be, but I like to look at the specification from a MVC perspective since it seems that the specification has already defined a model and a view (the API). The controller would therefore supply the API with the model most likely from a Database or an external source.\nThe model could be limited to representing an experience and could be split up further to share parts with the Activity Streams specification (such as the actor, object, etc). The model could also be specified in such a way that it may be used in XML, JSON, and other similar formats. Aaron also refers to this as \u201cA standard for the Data Model\u201d in his blog post.\nThe scope of the API (view) could be restricted to creating and retrieving experiences so that they can be analysed and shared. I\u2019m unaware if this is true but parts of this API could also be split if it shares parts with other specifications such as the Activity Streams specification. This is referred to by Aaron as \u201cA standard for the Statement API\u201d.\nFinally, the scope of the controller could be maintaining the data such that it continues to comply with the specified data model so that it can be retrieved correctly via the API. Aaron refers to this as \u201cA standard for the Learning Record Store\u201d.\nA standard is \u201can accepted or approved example of something against which others are judged or measured\u201d, yes the xAPI meets the definition of a standard for the most part, but the specification must improve to gain greater adoption otherwise it\u2019s likely to become stagnant and useless.\nThe first steps to improving the specification, in my opinion, are to split the specification up into smaller parts.",

        "title": "At Universities, Too, the Rich Grow Richer | HuffPost",
        "raw_content": "Lawrence Wittner, Contributor\nProfessor of History emeritus, SUNY/Albany\nAt Universities, Too, the Rich Grow Richer\nAlthough many Americans believe their universities are places where administrators and faculty members coexist on a fairly equal basis, the reality is that this is far from the case.\nAccording to recent surveys by the Chronicle of Higher Education, 35 private university presidents and 4 public university presidents topped $1 million in total earnings during the 2011-2012 fiscal year. Among the public university presidents, Graham Spanier of Pennsylvania State University received $2.9 million for that year, followed by Jay Gogue of Auburn University ($2.5 million), E. Gordon Gee of Ohio State University ($1.9 million), and Alan Merten of George Mason University ($1.9 million). Overall, the presidents of public universities -- the poor relations of their private university counterparts -- had a median annual total compensation of $441,392.\nThis very substantial income does not include many additional perks. According to the New York Times, President Gee is known for \"the lavish lifestyle his job supports, including a rent-free mansion with an elevator, a pool and a tennis court and flights on private jets.\"\nMoreover, despite hard times, including pay cuts, for many Americans, university presidents are rapidly increasing their income. President Gogue's annual earnings soared from $720,000 to $2.5 million in a single year. Between 2010-2011 and 2011-2012, the number of public university presidents in the $600,000 to $700,000 income range jumped from 13 to 28.\nOf course, it might be argued that they \"earned\" these hefty incomes through superior performance on the job. But is this true?\nPresident Spanier, whose $2.9 million income in 2011-2012 made him the best-paid public university president in the United States, resigned his post in November 2011. His resignation came five days after the arrest of Jerry Sandusky, the Penn State assistant football coach, on child sex abuse charges -- charges that sparked nationwide outrage over that university's failure for nearly a decade to alert law enforcement authorities to alleged sexual assault on campus. Spanier was himself charged criminally in an alleged cover-up of Sandusky's crimes, although he continues to maintain his innocence.\nIn most cases, however, the bloated incomes of university presidents result from their fundraising prowess. President Gogue, whose $2.5 million compensation placed him second to Spanier, was lauded by Auburn University officials for his close relationship with business leaders. \"In basic financial terms,\" a university spokeswoman explained, \"the return on investment is remarkably high.\" Similarly, Hollis Hughes, Jr., the president of Ball State University's board of trustees, justified the huge income of Jo Ann Gora, the university president -- who, at just under $1 million income placed fifth in the financial ranking of public university presidents in 2011-2012 -- on the basis of her success at fundraising.\nCultivating corporate and wealthy donors, of course, has long been a major task of university presidents, but it has become an obsession in recent years, especially as state governments have cut back funding for public universities. Over the course of a decade, the nation's largest public university system, the State University of New York, has gone from a situation in which the state paid 75 percent of the university's costs and student tuition paid 25 percent to exactly the reverse, in which state support covers 25 percent of costs and student tuition covers most of the remainder. In these circumstances, public universities are desperately seeking to attract financial support from corporations and the wealthy, with obvious consequences when it comes to rewarding the top fundraisers and setting campus priorities.\nMeanwhile, faculty members are left out in the cold. Despite the fact that most faculty at public universities have many years of graduate education, doctoral degrees, publications, and years of teaching experience, their average annual salary is just over $80,000 per year. These, of course, are the full-time, \"regular\" faculty. Part-timers, a talented but cheap labor force who administrators are increasingly substituting for full-timers, are paid, at best, a few thousand dollars per course. Thus, even when they shuttle from campus to campus, cobbling together the equivalent of a full course load, they are so impoverished that they qualify for food stamps. These part-timers and other \"contingent\" faculty -- large numbers of low-paid, full-time educators in temporary positions, without job security -- today constitute the vast majority of people who teach at American colleges and universities.\nNor do faculty salaries seem likely to rise very much. At the State University of New York, the faculty and other professional staff are now voting on a new, five-year contract with the state that will provide them with a salary raise of about 1 percent a year -- a raise that, when inflation is taken into account, will actually give them a salary reduction. Although United University Professions, their faculty/professional staff union that engaged in tough, lengthy contract negotiations with the state, fought until the end for a minimum salary for part-time faculty, state negotiators -- loyal to Governor Andrew Cuomo's hostile approach to public sector workers -- adamantly refused to consider it. Consequently, although top administrators can (and will) be paid increasingly outlandish amounts, there will be no salary floor for those who do the teaching and research.\nOn university campuses, it seems, everyone is equal. But some are much more equal than others.\nLawrence Wittner (http://lawrenceswittner.com) is Professor of History emeritus at SUNY/Albany. His latest book is \"What's Going On at UAardvark?\" (Solidarity Press), a satirical novel about campus life.

        "raw_content": "This has made quite the impression recently and we can totally see why. Hygge (pronounced hue-gah) is a scandinavian concept of taking pleasure in the ordinary and everyday. Have you noticed how in this day and age you\u2019re always on the go? Always busy, always in communication, always doing, and many of the normal tasks we undertake everyday become a burden. We forget or perhaps don\u2019t make the time to take pleasure in things. Like making a cup of tea, enjoying the few minutes the tea bag is infusing the water, the gentle stirring of the spoon and the first uninterrupted sip. Hygge is about making the most of the everyday, and it\u2019s a great mindset for the winter months. When it\u2019s darker, colder and wetter, make the most of brewing your cuppa, wrapping yourself in a blanket and creating a cosy space for yourself.\nPubs are as British as...a British thing, and there\u2019s nothing quite as warm and welcoming as a cosily lit, rambunctious and laughter-filled pub. Believe it or not, although the capital is well known for bars and clubs, there are some excellent traditional pubs. Whether you\u2019re popping into Holborn\u2019s The Princess Louise's opulent Victorian interior (perfect for the holiday season), Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on Fleet Street for the authentic beamed ceiling experience, or the Coach & Horses for a warm, relaxing evening. There\u2019s nothing better then heading to an old pub on a cold winter night like all those characters in a Charles Dicken\u2019s novel. In fact, the venerable novelist actually frequented Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, giving you even more of a reason to get out to your local pubs at this time of year to warm up with a drink and friends.\nGood food is so essential at this time of year. It\u2019s not just about the treats and the holiday snacking, it also about making sure you\u2019re eating well. It can be easy as the night\u2019s draw in, to go for comfort rather than health but keep a good balance of both. Treat yourself to some good food at home or warming pub grub at the aforementioned establishments, and in between, make sure you\u2019re getting a healthy amount of fruit and vegetables. It\u2019s also good to remember to keep the fluids on the go, it can be easy to settle for a warm cup of coffee, but remember to drink plenty of water too. These habits will keep you healthy and happy even when the weather is less than cheery outside!\nDon\u2019t be a hermit! Cold, dark nights, and the holiday season can be hard for some people. If that\u2019s you, just remember to socialise. Get out and see your friends, whether it\u2019s for a spot of Christmas shopping, a coffee on the weekend or some drinks on a Friday night. It\u2019s remarkable what a good laugh with friends will do to keep you positive and enjoying yourself throughout the winter.\nEven better, why not do a bit of exploring while the tourists are less prevalent in the capital? You might want to avoid Oxford street and the Christmas shopping craziness, so why not go to some local sights and attractions while the cold weather keeps people away.\nHats, gloves and scarves aren\u2019t just fashion accessories! There\u2019s nothing better than being out and enjoying the crisp mornings, but being clothed for it is key! A decent coat will keep the winter winds at bay and popping your gloves on before you head out will save your fingers from getting chapped.\nAnd when you\u2019re inside, keeping some woolly socks at the ready or a pair of slippers, to keep your extremities warm around the house will do wonders for keeping you warm. Plus, if you take up the Hygge perspective we talked about earlier, you could invest in a few lovely blankets and cushions, to make your evenings in warm and cosy and provide for yourself a little haven in the midst of winter.\nThere you have it, 5 easy ways to survive the winter in London this year!",

        "raw_content": "This book focuses on the culture and politics involved in building, maintaining, and researching hip-hop archives. It addresses practical aspects, including methods of accumulation, curation, preservation, and digitization and critically analyzes institutional power, community engagement, urban economics, public access, and the ideological implications associated with hip-hop culture\u2019s enduring tensions with dominant social values.\nRoughly forty-five years since hip-hop culture emerged, a broad and sizeable array of material artifacts, recorded materials, and various cultural ephemera has accumulated. Pioneering artists, life-long fans, industry mavens, and keen collectors have amassed collections of artifacts that are essential to the definition of localized hip-hop scenes, providing crucial insights onto the people, places, aesthetics and other often-obscure details that trace the arc of cultural development. Included in these collections are photographs, event flyers and posters, recordings (in multiple configurations), video materials, magazines, clothing and other stylistic signifiers, personal papers and notebooks, and oral history recordings. These materials, and their archival existence, have thus far received only scant scholarly attention within a sustained critical framework and, thus, this book seeks to enhance an understanding of hip-hip culture more widely by expanding our knowledge and understanding about the emergent role of hip-hop archives.\nArchives are generally a response to a need to actively preserve a culture, allowing for present and future citizens to access and interpret the evolution of a people\u2019s innovations and endeavors. Archives encompass facets of heritage and legacy, merging the temporal past with present and future implications. They are repositories of cultural histories and, as such, they are also sites for the amplification of narratives and other representational forms that, in their diversity, disseminate symbolic values and meanings. At the current cultural moment, digitization also amplifies the ubiquity and importance of archival processes in relation to hip-hop\u2019s ongoing vitality. The archiving of hip-hop culture consequently offers a powerful initiative that simultaneously celebrates the achievements of cultural forebears while critically engaging with ideologies, social and political issues, economic forces, and artistic creativity, repositioning the once-marginal practices and attitude associated with hip-hop at the center of larger debates about the character of our urban environments and cultural priorities.\nThe book aims to present rigorous scholarly research that critically and theoretically examines hip-hop\u2019s archival turn, including interrogating the distinctions between small, independent archives and collections as well as those that feature larger holdings and that are institutionally located in public and university libraries or national spaces such as the U.S. Smithsonian Institute. Further emphasis will be placed on the ways in which hip-hop archives mobilize community involvement, facilitating engagements that take various shapes and have diverse implications for how local hip-hop scenes envision themselves and their relationship to the wider hip-hop culture.\nOf this latter point, the book strongly advocates for a global perspective. We invite chapters with a pronounced international foundation, seeking to draw on the insights and archival practices enacted in multiple national contexts, exploring the constraining and enabling factors that arise in dispersed locales.\nDeadline for Proposals: April 1st, 2019\nProposals should be 250 words\nProposals can be submitted in word.doc format to:\nMark V. Campbell: [email protected]\nMurray Forman: [email protected]",

        "raw_content": "New Wider 130 in development\nWider Yachts is developing a new Wider 130 superyacht model. In a recent company newsletter, Michael Hackman, interim chairman of Wider and executive VP of marine operations at Genting HK, says: \"I'm thrilled to be involved with Wider at this pivotal time, with the first of its superyacht handovers just completed, the Wider 165 to hit the water early next year, and now the launch of plans for the new 130ft, exciting developments are afoot. I'm now looking forward to developing the company further.\"\nHackman acknowledged the hard work put into developing the Wider brand, saying that: \u201cCooperation with the firm's German shipyards would be an asset in terms of managing production and increasing operational efficiency \u2013 while maintaining the highest standards.\u201d\nGenting HK, which owned 50% of Wider Yachts for a number of years, acquired the remaining 50% following the departure earlier this year of Tilli Antonelli and Paolo Favilla, respectively CEO and managing director of Wider Yachts.\nThere is no further information at this time of who is working on the design of the Wider 130 or when it will be introduced to the market. Wider traditionally has a presence at the Cannes Yachting Festival, so more might be made known then.\nThe newsletter states that Genting HK Ltd's recent acquisition of Wider, through its subsidiary Exa Ltd, complements its existing portfolio of yachting assets that include investments in the Singapore-listed Grand Banks Yachts, Dutch submersible manufacturer U-Boat Worx and Lloyd Werft shipyard in Germany.\nGenting is primarily known as one of the largest operators in the international cruise industry, owning Star Cruises, Dream Cruises and Crystal Cruises, as well as for its extensive worldwide network of hotels and resorts.\nAs to Hackman, he has a career of more than 25 years' experience in the Asian and Australian cruise and ferry business, as well as time spent on various board positions, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service, one of Australia's largest charitable organisations.",

        "raw_content": "The Best Book I Read This Month: Lady Cop Makes Trouble by Amy Stewart\nFebruary 28, 2017 in The Best Books I've Read\nConfession: nothing I read this month knocked my socks off as much as The Quartet did last month. It's not that I read anything bad (although The Dead Tracks by Tim Weaver came close); just that I didn't read anything spectacular.\nMy favorite read, though, was Lady Cop Makes Trouble by Amy Stewart. Lady Cop is historical fiction, the second in a series about Constance Kopp, the first female deputy sheriff in New Jersey. I adored the first book in the series--Girl Waits With Gun. It touched on serious issues, but with a light touch and a sense of humor. There was something almost \"Keystone Cops\" about it.\nI had high hopes for the sequel. In some ways, Lady Cop was as good as Girl. The characters of Constance and the sheriff, for example, were satisfying. They grew with the story. The mystery was well-plotted with appropriate twists and turns. The supporting cast--the minor characters--added color to the story and depth to the story's world.\nThe characters of Constance's sisters were not as satisfying. Norma and Fleurette were fun in the first book, but by the end of this one, they grated and annoyed. Each sister is unique and colorful. However, they stayed in their lanes, rigidly. They reminded me very much of George and Bess in the old Nancy Drew books. The tomboy and the girly-girl, the same in every book, the same strengths, the same flaws, no growth as people or characters. Constance's sisters felt just like that. While their lives in this book had broadened since Book 1, it didn't seem like they'd changed as a result of those wider experiences. And while Lady Cop had the same light touch as Girl, it lacked the \"Keystone Cops\" humor of its prequel. I missed that.\nThat said, I do enjoy this series, and I will read the next one. This book might be the \"sophomore slump,\" but it was still an enjoyable read.\nTags: reading, Book Recommendation, fiction",

        "raw_content": "> Housing > Homebuyer Education > InCharge Guide to Homeownership > What Kind of Mortgage Should I Get?\nWhat Kind of Mortgage Should I Get?\nIn the world of mortgage lending, there are many different types of loans and loan terms. How can you decide which loan best fits your financial circumstances? Knowing what goes into your loan application and what happens when you submit it will help you become a more knowledgeable participant in the lending process.\nYou\u2019ve determined what you need and want in a home and you have a \u201cballpark\u201d figure on how much you can afford to spend. Now it\u2019s time to ask a loan officer exactly what you\u2019re worth as far as a home loan goes. Let\u2019s peek inside the loan officer\u2019s magic bag of tricks.\nWhat types of home mortgages are available?\nThe home-mortgage process can be complex and filled with pitfalls for uninformed consumers. The lender and the type of loan you choose will affect your upfront costs as well as your monthly payments. Before you choose a home, take time to explore the different types of financing so you can choose one that will best fits your needs. You can begin by looking at the differences between a fixed-rate and an adjustable-rate mortgage.\nA fixed-rate mortgage will have the same principal and interest payment amounts throughout the life of the loan. Most fixed-rate mortgages can be repaid in 30 years or less. An adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, will have interest rates and payments that change from time-to-time over the life of the loan. Depending on the type of ARM, your interest rate may increase gradually every couple of years until it reaches a preset ceiling. Or, your rate may stay level for a short time and then have a large final payment known as a \u201cballoon payment\u201d at the end. When you apply for an ARM, you\u2019ll be told how, when and why the rates may change.\nAn assumable loan is an existing mortgage loan that a buyer takes over or assumes from a seller. Assumable loans may be fixed-rate or adjustable and are more common when high interest rates make homes difficult to sell. You may also find an assumable loan when a seller is having difficulty making mortgage payments and needs to be relieved of the mortgage debt. If you are thinking of assuming a loan, first do your homework. Read the mortgage contract to be sure you understand and can accept its existing terms. Contact the lender or loan servicer to find out the current loan balance and make certain that loan payments are current. Also find out if the lender will allow an assumption. The lender may be able to call the loan, which means he can demand immediate payment of the entire balance if you try to assume it without permission.\nThere are advantages and disadvantages to fixed-rate mortgages and ARMs. Take a look at the chart on the following page to compare the two.\nFixed- and Adjustable-Rate Mortgages\u2014Pros and Cons\nYour monthly principal and interest payment will never change, but your cost for taxes and insurance may increase. Fixed-rate loans do not take into account any anticipated increases in your earning power.\nYour monthly principal and interest amount will be lower when the loan is new; however, your cost of taxes and insurance may increase.\nInterest rates sometime decrease. If the index that your ARM is based on goes down, so will the amount of your monthly mortgage payments. Be prepared to factor increases into your budget after two, three, or five years if interest rates increase.\nTake care to avoid loans that offer extremely low \u201cintroductory\u201d rates. When you could be stuck with a much higher full rate-and monthly payments you can\u2019t afford.\nAnother area to explore is the availability of government-sponsored loans vs. conventional or privately insured loans.\nMany forms of government-sponsored loans are offered by federal or state government agencies. These loans help specific groups of people to become homebuyers by providing insurance to protect lenders against default. For example, FHA offers loans to meet the needs of low-and moderate-income buyers: VA loans help active duty and former members of the nation\u2019s armed forces and RHS loans are geared towards serving rural populations. In general, these federal loan programs require low or no down payments from buyers. The programs offer advice and counseling services to guide buyers through the entire process of purchasing a home. They also provide counseling and intervention services to assist program participants who have difficulty repaying their mortgage loans.\nConventional loans are available from traditional lenders such as banks, savings and loan institutions, or credit unions. These loans are available to any borrowers who meet the lending institution\u2019s qualifications. Unlike the government, conventional lenders don\u2019t limit the size of individual loans. However, they protect themselves from default by requiring borrowers to make larger down payments.\nWhat type of loan is best for me?\nBefore you answer this question, you need to look at your personal financial situation, your long-term goals and the needs of your household. Where do you plan to be living in the next few years? How secure is your job? Where will the money come from for your down payment and closing costs? There are trade-offs when choosing between a government-backed loan and a conventional loan. The low- or no-down payment government-sponsored loans may be less expensive initially. This allows buyers who have steady incomes with little or no personal savings and other assets to become homeowners. Many of these buyers have been shut out of the conventional market because they couldn\u2019t make large down payments or couldn\u2019t obtain private mortgage insurance. However, over time, the cost of these loans may be higher because of insurance premiums and interest paid on higher loan amounts.\nOn the other hand, a conventional loan that requires a 20% down payment and all closing costs paid upfront may cost less over time. Less interest will be paid on the lower loan amount and mortgage insurance may not be required. Plus, the government-backed programs don\u2019t permit wealthier buyers to obtain \u201cjumbo\u201d mortgage loans. The following tables 8-2 and 8-3 offer some basic guidance to help you make this choice.\nFixed Rate or Adjustable\u2014Which Is Better?\nA Fixed-Rate mortgage might be better if\u2026\nAn Adjustable-Rate mortgage might be better if\u2026\nYou plan to live in your home for many years.\nYou believe your income will remain level for many years.\nYou plan to stay in your home for only a few years.\nYou have a good reason to believe your income will rise steadily over the years.\nYou intend to refinance at a lower fixed rate once you reach the ARM\u2019s interest cap.\nGovernment-Backed or Conventional\u2014Which Is Better?\nA Government-Backed loan might be better if\u2026\nA Conventional loan might be better if\u2026\nYou qualify for a government- backed loan (e.g., veteran status, low-income, etc).\nYou have a steady income, but not much money for a down payment.\nAffordable conventional loans aren\u2019t available in your area.\nYou can afford to make a large down payment.\nThe home you want to buy costs several hundred thousand dollars.\nYou don\u2019t want to pay for private mortgage insurance.\nYou don\u2019t want to finance fees or closing costs.\nOnce committed to purchasing a home, your decision for a fixed-rate mortgage or an ARM, and your choice of a government-backed loan or a conventional loan, should be based on your personal needs and financial situation.\nWhat goes into a loan application?\nRemember, you must meet certain financial standards to qualify for a mortgage. Most lenders will want to see that your monthly mortgage payment including taxes, insurance, and all other fees, does not exceed 28% of your gross or before-tax monthly income. Generally, lenders will want you to have your monthly mortgage payment and other debt payments under 36% of your gross monthly income. You may find a lender who will let you exceed this guideline if you have an excellent credit history or can make a large down payment.\nYour ability to qualify for a loan will depend on the \u201cFour C\u2019s\u201d of credit:\nCapacity to repay the debt.\nCredit history of how much and how often you borrow, whether you pay bills on time, and whether you\u2019re living within your means.\nCapital, or the amount of cash you have for a down payment, settlement costs, and cash reserves.\nCollateral to protect the lender\u2019s investment.\nThe language of mortgages may seem foreign at first, but you can learn to speak and understand the basic terms that your loan officer will use. Before you meet with a loan officer, refer to the glossary for definitions of these terms:\nBefore you meet with a loan officer, refer to the glossary for definitions of these terms:\nClosing statement (settlement)\nFHA insured loans\nYou\u2019ll be able to complete a loan application quickly when you arrive with the following documents:\nW-2 forms for the past two years, or tax returns for the past two years if you\u2019re self-employed.\nEarnings statements or pay stubs for the past two months.\nBank statements for the past three months for savings, checking, mutual funds, and other accounts.\nSelf-employed homebuyers will need to provide additional documentation including signed copies of their business tax returns, W-2 forms and 1099 forms for the past two years. The lender may ask for statements to verify retirement accounts, or funds received from an annuity or alimony. Without this type of documentation, the self-employed buyer may need to make a larger down payment.\nYou\u2019ll be asked to sign an authorization form that allows the loan officer to get your credit report. If you\u2019ve identified the home you want to buy, you\u2019ll sign another form to authorize a property appraisal. If you\u2019ve been divorced, you may need to show your divorce decree to prove that you\u2019re now legally single. If you\u2019re not a United States citizen, you may need to provide proof of residency such as a green card, or visa.\nThe Equal Credit Opportunity Act ensures that you will not be subjected to discrimination based on your race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or reliance on public assistance for any part of your income. As part of the act\u2019s compliance measures, your lender must ask for and report information on your race, sex, marital status, and age when you submit your loan application.\nWhat does the loan officer do with my application?\nYour loan officer will use the documents you provide to verify your employment history and income and the market value of the home you want to buy.\nThe loan officer will examine your assets such as cash or stocks to make sure you have money for a down payment and closing costs. While your application is under review, you shouldn\u2019t deposit or withdraw any large sums of money without telling the loan officer and providing proof of where the money comes from or where it goes. You should also avoid any large credit purchases that would adversely affect your debt-to-income ratios.\nYou may be asked to provide additional documents. Respond as quickly as possible to avoid delays or denial. Your loan officer will also use your application as a basis for developing a list of costs and fees that you\u2019ll pay over and above the sale price of the home.\nWhen you apply for a mortgage loan, RESPA, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, requires your lender to provide the following documents when you apply for a mortgage loan:\nInformation booklet that describes various real estate settlement services.\nGood Faith Estimate of closing costs the buyer can expect to pay.\nMortgage Servicing Disclosure Statement that tells if the lender will service the loan or transfer it to another loan servicer.\nThe Good Faith Estimate will give you a detailed list and explanations for closing costs\u2014amounts you\u2019ll pay over and above the sale price of your new home. The number and dollar amount of these costs may vary according to the size and type of loan you have. Your lender will tell you which costs are exact and which are estimates. They may include the following:\nLoan fees\u2014Origination, appraisal, administrative, credit report, survey attorney fees and fees for discount points.\nTitle fees\u2014Insurance, document preparation, escrow, and recording fees.\nEscrow accounts\u2014Prepaid mortgage insurance premiums, taxes, and interest.\nYou can pay these costs at closing from your personal savings, gifts, contributions from the seller or government grants. Some of these costs will be deductible from your income when you prepare your tax return.\nRESPA allows your lender up to three business days after you submit your application to mail these documents to you. However, if your loan is denied within three days, the lender is not obligated to provide this information.\nRESPA entitles you to obtain certain facts about your closing costs beforehand. It also protects you against unfair referral fees such as kickbacks, which plagued home buying transactions in the past. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) enforces RESPA provisions for loans on one-to-four-family residential properties. This includes purchase loans, refinancing loans, assumptions, home improvement loans and home equity lines of credit.\nYou may also receive an Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure notice from the individual handling the closing. Federal law requires you to get this notice whenever the closing agent refers you to any service provider such as a lender, or attorney with whom the closing agent has any kind of business relationship. The notice must describe the business relationship and provide an estimate of the second service provider\u2019s charges.\nYour loan officer will also explain the value of points. Basically, the more money you pay at settlement, the less money you pay in monthly repayments. A point is a percentage of your loan amount that when paid at closing can be used to lower your interest rate and reduce your monthly payments. Should you pay discount points?\nAs with so many other home buying matters, the answer depends on your plans and your financial situation. In general, paying discount points is a good idea under the following circumstances:\nYou have the money available at closing.\nYou can quickly make up in monthly savings the extra amount you pay out.\nFor example, on a $100,000 loan with a 10% APR, and no discount points, you would pay about $880 each month in principal and interest. However, if you can pay one discount point an extra $1,000 at closing which lowers your APR by one-half of a percent, you would pay about $840 each month in principal and interest. In about two years, the monthly savings would allow you to recover the extra amount you paid out at closing.\nBefore you say yes or no to paying discount points, figure out if you can afford the extra money required to pay points. Then, ask how much each point would reduce your monthly payments. Finally, find out how long it would take you to recover the cost of paying points. Keep in mind that your lender is not required to offer discount points. Also, if your lender offers points, the offer may be structured in a way that takes you a long time to recover the extra money you pay out at closing. If the numbers are in your favor, consider paying the points.\nYour loan officer will also explain how prepaid expenses are paid. Costs that are collected at closing include the following:\nPro-rated interest.\nPro-rated property taxes.\nIf your LTV is over 80%, you\u2019ll also pay a portion of these expenses as part of your monthly mortgage payment. These partial payments will be collected in an escrow account that your lender will use to make periodic payments for these expenses. If you borrow less than 80% of the home\u2019s value, you\u2019ll most likely be able to pay your property taxes and homeowner\u2019s insurance on your own.\nWhy did I get turned down and what do I do next?\nHaving your loan application rejected might be disappointing, but it\u2019s not the end of the world. Before you think of giving up on your goal of homeownership, talk to your loan officer to find out why your request was turned down. Most applications are denied for the following reasons:\nBad credit score\u2014You can challenge any errors and possibly explain other negative information on your credit report.\nToo much debt\u2014You may have to pay off some of your debts, or look for a less expensive home before your loan can be approved.\nInsufficient income\u2014If your current rent is almost the same as your proposed mortgage payment, ask your loan officer to reconsider. Also, different lenders use different formulas to calculate how much they think you can afford. Another lender may be more accepting.\nInsufficient down payment\u2014You may be eligible for a government backed low- or no-down payment loan. Or, you may be able to use cash gifts from relatives to pay all or part of your closing costs.\nLow appraisal price\u2014If your written purchase offer includes a contingency covering a low appraisal, you may be able to negotiate a lower selling price the lender will finance.\nIf your loan application is denied, your loan officer must explain the denial in writing. The problems may be real, or you simply may need to provide additional information. Depending on the reason for rejection, you may be able to provide information or explanations that convince your loan officer to reconsider the loan denial. If that fails, your choice is to search for another lender who will accept your application. Or, you can use the loan officer\u2019s explanation as guidance to take the necessary steps that will improve your financial situation so you CAN get the loan approved.\nCan I really get a home loan online?\nAlthough most steps in the home buying experience are still \u201cface-to-face,\u201d there are many steps in the process that you can do from your home or office. Getting a home loan certainly is one of them. Before you fill out an online application, however, you\u2019d be wise to first review various online resources.\nStart by looking at online information resources that can help you work through the maze of financing a new home. Many public and non-profit organizations are waiting to hear from you.\nThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Affairs provides information about finding, financing, and keeping a home. Go to www.hud.gov.\nInCharge Debt Solutions counsels potential homebuyers, educates and prepares them for the purchasing process. Visit www.incharge.org and choose \u201cHousing Counseling\u201d from the list of services, or call toll-free 877-267-0595.\nOnce you familiarize yourself with the process and terminology, you\u2019ll be better prepared to look at the private lenders\u2019 websites. Online lenders will tell you if they participate in government-backed lending programs. You can usually get interest rate quotes and loan pre-qualifications very quickly.\nHowever, you\u2019ll still have to provide the same detailed financial information to a virtual lender that a brick-and-mortar lender would require. And you\u2019ll have to use the same caution in rating online loan offerings that you would use when applying face to face. There are a few important financial safety points to remember before you apply online for a loan:\nLimit the number of applications you make. It\u2019s easy to fill out applications and submit them with the click of a mouse. But be aware that too many applications in a short period of time may hurt your credit score. Unfortunately, you\u2019ll seldom get a rate quote until you submit an application, but instead of seeing the rates go down, you may see them go up after you\u2019ve submitted loan requests to several lenders.\nWatch out for \u201cbait and switch\u201d offers. As it sometimes happens face-to-face, you may be offered a great low interest rate online, only to see the low rate disappear just before you go to closing. While you may qualify for better terms elsewhere, the cyber-lender is betting that you don\u2019t have time to search, apply and get approved before your closing date. Make sure your online rate is locked in, the same as you would when dealing with a lender face-to-face.\nMake sure you know where your financial data goes. Online fraud gets more creative everyday and it\u2019s not difficult for con artists to create attractive, professional-looking websites. Don\u2019t be fooled by offers of unbelievably low rates from unknown lenders. Identity theft really happens and online lending often makes it easy. If you submit a loan application but don\u2019t receive a response, what can you do? Before you transmit your social security number, bank and credit account numbers and other personal information online, be sure the \u201clender\u201d is real.\nPredatory lending is unfair, fraudulent and/or deceptive lending. The easiest targets are borrowers who are not informed and those who do not comparison shop for loan rates and terms. While women, the elderly and minorities are affected in greater numbers, anyone can become the victim of a predatory loan.\nThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has identified specific \u201chot spots\u201d in several cities where predatory lending has become almost epidemic. Check www.hud.gov to see if you live near one.\nHow can you protect yourself from predatory lending? First, be aware that it exists. Take time to read the real estate section of your local newspaper or search online to see what interest rates local lenders are charging. When you are considering a loan, ask if the loan terms being offered are the best terms for which you qualify. Above all, learn to recognize predatory lending practices.\nAvoid lenders who call and offer to send a \u201cloan officer\u201d to your home.\nExamine fees and charges. A loan origination fee higher than 1% of the loan is a red flag.\nAccess the Better Business Bureau report on the lender to see if complaints have been filed.\nDon\u2019t accept costly pre-paid credit insurance and disability insurance that you\u2019ll have to finance.\nAvoid prepayment penalties. If you can refinance at better terms, those prepayment penalties can cost you up to 5% of the original loan amount.\nDemand to know exactly what your monthly payments will be. If you can\u2019t afford the payments, don\u2019t accept the loan.\nVictims of predatory lending can find themselves locked into high-fee mortgage loans with steep variable interest rates, costly pre-paid credit insurance, huge balloon payments, and severe prepayment penalties. When a borrower fails to make timely payments, the predatory lender will \u201cflip\u201d the loan. This means the lender will refinance the loan with additional high fees or foreclose and seize the borrower\u2019s home. In the end, the borrower gets a damaged credit score, loses equity in the home or loses the home.\nWarning Signs of Predatory Lending\n\u201cBad Credit? Use the equity in your home to get the cash you need.\u201d Even with an imperfect credit history, you can usually find better loan terms elsewhere if you look. Your credit score suffers even more when you fall behind on payments.\nYou lose your home to foreclosure.\nLow payments, low fees and low interest rates. The interest rates and loan processing fees are 3-4 times higher than honest lenders charge. These higher rates and fees lead to higher monthly payments than you expect.\nLow-cost insurance to protect you in case you can\u2019t pay.

        "raw_content": "KOLKATA \u2014 Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy has said that people of the country were totally \u201cdisappointed\u201d with the administration of Narendra Modi and heaped praise on his West Bengal counterpart Mamata Banerjee, saying she is a \u201cgood administrator\u201d and has all capabilities of leading the country.\nThe Janata Dal (Secular) leader, however, maintained that leadership was not the pressing issue at hand and the opposition needs to focus on ways and ideas to win the polls.\nIn an interview to PTI, the Karnataka chief minister said, \u201cAccording to me, deciding on the leadership is not a criterion to win the polls. People of the country are totally disappointed with the administration of Narendra Modi. Several states have their own problems. It is not necessary to select a leader before the elections.\n\u201cThere are effective leaders, who can move in a big way for the development of the country. They can make headway in areas where the previous governments have failed. But we can sit and select our leader after the elections are over,\u201d he said.\nKumarswamy, who was part of the Trinamool Congress-led mega opposition rally \u2015 United India Rally \u2013 held here on Saturday, also said that Banerjee has the abilities to run the country.\n\u201cShe (Mamata) is simplest of the simple and a very good administrator. I believe that Mamata ji has all the capabilities of leading the country. And she has already proved herself by leading West Bengal for so many years.\u201d\nDrawing parallels with the situation the country in 1977 when Prime Minister Indira Gandhi faced revolt from various quarters, Kumaraswamy said, \u201cThe present scenario is quite similar to that period. Even the politicians sat together and select their leader. This time, too, I think we will also have no problem in doing that.\u201d\nThe Janata Dal (Secular) leader asserted that the Mahagatbandhan would be \u201can alternate to the national party\u201d.\n\u201cSeveral states have their own problems. Each of them have regional leaders who are as strong as national party members. And these regional parties will play a crucial role in the elections. This time people are going to bless them.\u201d\nTalking about the absence of Telangana Chief Minister KCR at the mega rally called by Banerjee, Kumaraswamy said, \u201cI think after the elections everybody will join. Everybody will come together. I am quite hopeful.\u201d\nIncidentally, KCR had came down to Kolkata to meet Banerjee last month for a discussion on the grand alliance. He, however, stated that his efforts for a non-BJP and non-Congress alliance would continue.\nHeaping praises on Banerjee for bringing together opposition leaders on a same platform, the Karnataka CM said, \u201cMamata ji did a great job in organizing the rally. She had even requested the Left to join her. This shows her generosity in her tactics in fighting the BJP government. She is ready to make compromises to take our fight to the next level.\u201d\nSetting the tone for the Lok Sabha polls, leaders from 22 opposition parties came together at the mega rally here on Saturday and declared they will put up a united fight to oust the Narendra Modi government.",

This is where hundreds of thousands of Iowans show up to formally begin the presidential nominating process for both major national parties. However, the Iowa caucuses are also held during mid-terms (2014, 2018, 2022, etc.), and while no presidential voting will take place, the business conducted is also still very important. The decisions made during the biennial caucuses can have a big impact on Iowa agriculture. The precinct caucus is the ultimate grassroots function of Iowa politics and it is where one is elected to a leadership position in one's county party, it is the first step to becoming a delegate to the county, district, state, or national conventions, and it is also where changes to the party\u2019s platform (statement of beliefs and policy) can be introduced.\nTo participate in an Iowa Republican or Iowa Democratic caucus, an individual must be registered to vote and be a registered member of the party\u2019s caucus they are attending. The individual must also be 18 years old by the date of the next general election, which in this case is Tuesday, November 8, 2016. That means it is possible for 17 year-olds to participate at their local caucus as long as they will be 18 years old by November 8, 2016. He or she must also reside in the precinct that they are caucusing in. \u201cNo Party\u201d registrants, or people who are not registered with either the Democratic or Republican Parties, will have to change their registration to one party or the other in order to caucus.\nWhen is my caucus?\nEvery single precinct in Iowa will hold a Republican and Democratic caucus beginning at a time yet to be announced on Monday, February 1, 2016. However, these local meetings are usually held in the evening.\nWhere is my caucus?\nCaucus sites are normally in public buildings, such as churches, community centers, schools or libraries, but they can also be held in homes or even machine sheds. To find your individual caucus locations, you should contact your county Republican or Democratic organizations or call the Republican Party of Iowa at 515-282-8105 or the Iowa Democratic Party at 515-244-7292.\nHow does the Presidential Preference Poll work?\nUnlike primary elections which are administered by the State of Iowa, a caucus is administered by the political party, and the parties govern the rules for the event. Instead of the voting hours being available all day, as is the case with primaries or a general election, caucus voters have a specific time and location for the caucusing and voting to happen. While there are many similarities between the Democratic and Republican caucus process, there is some differences in the presidential preference poll portion.\nThe Republican presidential preference poll is relatively straight forward. Once you are in your precinct and your precinct meeting has been called to order, usually the chair of your caucus will invite anyone to speak briefly in support of their favored candidate. Once all speeches have concluded, each eligible voter in the caucus will be given a piece of paper to either write or mark their choice. After everyone has filled out their secret ballot, the votes are counted in the precinct and announced to the room. All the precincts of a county are collected by party leadership and then reported to the Republican Party of Iowa to tabulate the state results.\nThe Democratic process is a bit more complicated. In Democratic caucuses, after given an opportunity to speak on behalf of a favored candidate, participants physically move into different parts of the room to show which candidate they support. The size of candidate\u2019s support is counted, and candidates who don't have enough support are deemed non-viable. The viability threshold is 15 percent of the participants in the room. Members of the non-viable groups can try to attract more people to their candidate, disperse and join other candidate groups, or remain \u201cuncommitted\u201d. The number of votes each candidate gets determines what percentage of that precinct's delegates will represent that person at the county convention. Because of this process, it becomes very important for Democratic campaigns to not only line-up supporters of their candidate but also try to identify the second choice of each caucus attendee in case their first choice is not deemed \u201cviable\u201d.\nWhat is a platform plank? How do I submit one? Why should I do so, and what happens with it after submit it?\nBoth major political parties, like the Iowa Farm Bureau, have a policy development process that requests input from the grassroots. Every two years, the parties from the local to the national level develop platforms which are essentially a statement of beliefs and policies that they support, or in some cases, oppose. Depending on the tradition of your county or state, parties will adopt very short and succinct platforms and sometimes they will develop very long documents with lots of information. A platform plank is simply a policy statement or policy belief that you believe your political party should support and adopt. On caucus night, usually after the presidential preference poll is taken and other business is concluded, the chair of your caucus will ask anyone if they have any suggested platform planks to offer. At that time, you can submit your planks and they will be added with the other suggested planks for your county and put into the process for consideration at your county convention. At each step, from the county to the district to the state and all the way to the national convention, it is possible that your planks will be added to that level of the process\u2019 platform. The Iowa Farm Bureau has a list of suggested planks that are good suggestions for Farm Bureau members to offer at their caucuses in order to ensure pro-agriculture policy is strongly considered in the platforms of both parties.\nWhat is the \u201cCaucus to Convention\u201d process and timeline?\nYou might hear the term \u201cCaucus to Convention\u201d and that is merely the period of activity between the caucuses in the winter to the county and district conventions in the spring, and the state and national conventions held in the summer.\nCounty Conventions\nAfter the precinct caucuses on Monday, February 1, 2016, each county Republican and Democratic Party convenes their county convention. At the county convention, parties discuss the county party platform, elect delegates to the district and state conventions, and hear speeches from officeholders and candidates for office. The dates and times for these county conventions for both parties in each of Iowa\u2019s 99 counties will be announced at a later date. However, usually these events are held in March.\nSeveral weeks after the county conventions, both parties will hold four district conventions. These districts are the same as Iowa\u2019s four congressional districts. District convention delegates elect members to different state convention committees (rules, platform, credentials, etc.) and also elect members to the State Central Committee (the governing board of the state parties). Finally, delegates debate the district party platform and hear from officeholders and candidates for office. Both parties will hold their district conventions at a date, time, and location yet to be announced. Additionally, should no candidate running for Congress break the 35 percent threshold in their respective primary (held in June), these delegates will get together again shortly after the primary to pick a candidate for the November ballot. Last year, this was relevant in Iowa\u2019s third district when Republicans ultimately selected David Young to be their candidate.\nAt the state convention, delegates debate the state party platform, elect representatives to serve Iowa at the party\u2019s national committee, elect Iowans to be delegates to the national convention, and also hear from many candidates and current officeholders. Also, should any statewide candidate fail to get 35 percent of the vote in the primary, the delegates will pick that nominee to represent the party on the November general election ballot. The dates, locations, and times for the Iowa Republican and Iowa Democratic state conventions have not yet been announced.\nNational political conventions are held every four years, usually a few months before a November presidential election. Like the previous conventions, delegates will debate and adopt a platform, conduct other business of the national party, and hear from lots of office holders and candidates. However, perhaps most notably, delegates will officially nominate the party\u2019s presidential candidate and his or her running mate for the November ballot. The 2016 Democratic National Convention will be held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from July 25 to July 28. The 2016 Republican National Convention will be held in Cleveland, Ohio from July 18 to July 21.\nDisclaimer: This page is intended for general informational purposes only and is not meant to provide a comprehensive listing or overview of all caucus and political convention information.

Reuters reports that both the Justice Department filing, and Facebook\u2019s response, were sealed by the court \u2013 and an attempt by the ACLU to have them unsealed has failed.\nA U.S. judge on Monday rejected a bid by two civil rights groups that had sought to force the release of documents describing a secret U.S. government effort to compel Facebook Inc to decrypt voice conversations between users on its Messenger app.\nThe ACLU argued that the public had the right to know whether or not Facebook Messenger calls were secure in order to protect their own privacy. The government countered that the court papers would reveal too much about the government\u2019s wiretapping capabilities.\nU.S. District Judge Lawrence O\u2019Neill in Fresno ruled that the documents described sensitive law enforcement techniques and releasing a redacted version would be impossible.\nThere is some encouraging news for those using the app: we do learn that the FBI was unable to intercept Facebook Messenger calls, and Facebook itself supported the ACLU in wanting the papers made public, suggesting that the filings would confirm the security of the app.\nThe report does say that the government intercepted text messages using the service, but the likelihood is that this was via alternative means, like hacking into a phone or persuading one of the suspects to share.\nPrevious articleiPad mini 5 May Not Get A New Design After All\nNext articleAnker\u2019s Roav Jump Starter Pro Will Kickstart Your Vehicle In No Time, Features 2 USB Ports Too, Just $74.99\nGerman Court Rules Apple Not Liable For Pre-Lawsuit Patent Damages Claimed By Qualcomm\nApple settles 10-year tax battle with France, paying a reported \u20ac500M ($570M)",

        "raw_content": "On September 9, 2008, in Nawab Shah, Pakistan, religious extremists entered the workplace of Sate Mohammad Yusuf and shot him three times. A shot to his heart resulted in his death at the scene. This horrific act of terror, the second in as many days, also took place in the Province of Sindh, the home of Pakistan\u2019s new President, Asif Ali Zardari, as well as during Islam\u2019s holy month of Ramadhan.\nMr. Yusuf was the President of the local branch of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a long-persecuted religious minority which, in 1974, was declared non-Muslim, and then in 1984, became criminally prohibited from declaring themselves as Muslims and peacefully practicing their Islamic faith, including greeting people and praying in accordance with Islamic custom and practice.\nMr. Yusuf\u2019s murder follows the murder of Dr. Abdul Mannan Siddiqui who was shot multiple times and killed by religious extremists on September 8 while he was attending to his patients in his medical clinic. Extremists targeted both Mr. Yusuf and Dr. Siddiqui because of the peaceful adherence to their Ahmadiyya Islamic faith and that they were prominent members of their respective local branches of the Ahmadiyya Community.\n\u201cReligious Extremists across Pakistan incite hatred against Ahmadis, their beliefs, and call for their killing. Most profane and unfortunate is it that these clerics are doing so during the holy and blessed month of Ramadhan, a month of fasting, prayer and quiet devotion\u201d said Mr. Lal Khan Malik, President of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Canada.\nSince 1974, countless members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community have been killed in Pakistan and their properties desecrated or destroyed. To date, no one has ever been convicted of any crimes against Ahmadiyya Community.\n\u201cThe Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is persecuted on account of its faith and strict adherence to non-violence and non-retaliation. Ahmadis will no doubt continue to endure this suffering with patience and steadfastness, and will be ever-ready to offer sacrifices in the cause of their faith\u201d said Naseem Mahdi, Senior Vice-President of the Ahmadiyya Community in Canada.",

I felt we could bring them in, train them and make them assets to the company and even the society. It\u2019s also a way to give back to the community.\u201d\nDare explained that the company received about 220 applications when it made its plans public, and that after an online test was conducted for them, 15 of them emerged victorious.\nHe stated that the 15 persons were invited to Inlaks Academy in Lagos for the training, which lasted six months.\nAt the end of the exercise, Dare said 13 of the trainees were employed by the company, while one of them withdrew at the end of the exercise.\nThe Coordinator of Inlaks ATM Academy, Mr. Rahmon Alabi, said the training given to the beneficiaries went beyond the ATM management to include stock operation, customer service operation and quality assurance.\nHe said the training comprised two month intensive classroom session and four months of practical in the workshop and field work. He added that the trainees were well taken care of and paid monthly stipends, even though there was no formal agreement signed between them and the company.\n\u201cSuch is hard to come by, especially when you are not in the employ of the trainer, but we believed in them, and so we encouraged them to maximise the opportunity given to them to be a part of this company,\u201d Alabi said.\nThe beneficiaries expressed appreciation to the company for the gesture, saying it was a renewal of their hope.\nThey also promised to be diligent in their work, adding, \u201cI have been amazed by the way the training turned out and I\u2019m confident that when I leave here, I can do a lot based on what I have learnt during the training,\u201d one of them, Chinonso Ikpeazu, said.\nWhile advising the beneficiaries to be professional and be good ambassadors of the company, the Executive Director, Business Innovation, Inlaks, Olufemi Muraino, said the initiative would help the beneficiaries to be self-sustaining.\n\u201cThis is the first batch and we are planning an academy for other units within the organisation. Our company is prepared to churn out the best breed of human resources in the country,\u201d he added.\nentrepreneur ICT Technology",

        "raw_content": "Well, we won\u2019t be driving you crazy about astrology but will be covering some of the most important things that you must know about astrology and will be discussing why you must consider consulting an astrologer. There is no doubt in that fact that astrology, in reality, is not exactly science. It is mere subtle, fluid symbolic system that has interpretive results. Astrology was and is considered to be a philosophical art form. And visiting an astrologer is also an art. A number of people think that it is just like attending a lecture or signing up for a tedious workshop, where you sit and listen to the information that is offered and the information provided can be applied to anyone. But in reality, astrology is just like the unvisited city of misconceptions for most of the people.\nIf you haven\u2019t visited an astrologer before then for sure, you should consider visiting one as soon as possible. But we would warn you that out there most of the astrologers are not trustworthy.

The group enjoyed a string of chart success by way of such enduring classics as \u201cKeep On Running\u201d \u201cGimme Some Lovin'\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m A Man\u201d. The international success of these singles bolstered Winwood\u2019s confidence and strengthened his resolve to seek out new rhythmic possibilities.\nIn 1967, Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group and co-founded Traffic. Beloved for their eclectic style and superbly crafted songs, Traffic routinely defied convention to celebrate a host of diverse sounds and influences. Landmark albums such as Mr. Fantasy and John Barleycorn Must Die confirmed their position as one of the most important British groups of the 1960\u2019s and 1970\u2019s.\nEager to try his hand with other creative partnerships, Winwood left Traffic in 1969 to join a new group formed by Cream guitarist Eric Clapton and drummer Ginger Baker. The pairing of Winwood with Cream\u2019s Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and later, former Family bassist Rick Grech, created what many critics dubbed rock first supergroup. The international popularity of Blind Faith, the group\u2019s sole album, confirmed their special chemistry. Blind Faith staples such as \u201cCan\u2019t Find My Way Home\u201d continue to rank among Winwood\u2019s finest achievements.\nIn 1970, Winwood reformed Traffic and guided a highly successful run founded on such popular albums as Low Heeled Spark Of High Heeled Boys and Shoot Out At The Fantasy Factory. By 1975, Traffic splintered as the allure of solo projects and new creative partnerships proved too tempting to resist.\n1977\u2019s solo debut Steve Winwood signaled a bold new artistic direction. Such a shift should hardly come as a surprise for those who have followed Winwood\u2019s distinguished career. Beginning with Traffic and extending through such landmark solo albums as the Grammy Award winning Back In The High Life and Roll With It, Winwood has nurtured a restless creative spirit, mining rich musical traditions such as Delta blues, English Folk, R&B, and West African calypso and merging these diverse influences within his own unmistakable sound.\nWinwood\u2019s solo career has yielded a rich catalog of popular songs including \u201cBack In The High Life,\u201d \u201cWhen You See A Chance,\u201d \u201cValerie,\u201d and \u201cHigher Love\u201d. His most recent solo album, About Time, has continued that success, earning Winwood one of his highest Billboard chart entries.\nWinwood has since renewed his creative partnership with Eric Clapton. Their expansive CD and DVD Live At Madison Square Garden was nominated for two Grammy Awards and rewarded their many fans with some of the most exciting performances of their careers. Subsequent tours of the United States and Japan make clear the lasting appreciation fans have for their unique talents.\nWinwood continues to perform throughout the world and record new music, furthering his impressive legacy. In addition to his many achievements as a solo artist, Winwood remains in high demand for special collaborations with other artists. His distinctive Hammond organ has graced such classic fare as Jimi\u2019s Hendrix\u2019s \u201cVoodoo Chile\u201d as well as Miranda Lambert\u2019s recent chart hit \u201cBaggage Claim\u201d.\nIt should come as no surprise to learn that many honors have been bestowed on Steve Winwood. He is a recipient of the Ivor Novello Outstanding Song Collection and the Musicians Union Classic Rock Award\u0097honors both voted for by his peers. He has also received an honorary Doctorate Degree in Music from Berkeley College Of Music as well as a second Doctorate from Ashton University in his hometown of Birmingham, England.

        "raw_content": "Glacier trip from Tasiilaq, Greenland\nHere at Show Me Something Interesting, we like to explore the snowier parts of the world. On a trip to Greenland, I decided to take a trip to the top of a glacier. The trip started from Tasiilaq (otherwise known as Ammassalik) on the East Side of Greenland, where I borded a helicopter which took me over some stunning scenery. To get to Tasiilaq, you have to travel from Kulusuk (the main transport hub on the East side of Greenland), normally by helicopter.\nThe video below shows the view from the top of the glacier down to the lake of icebergs below. It was, apart from the wind, completely quiet. Only the voices of the tour group could be heard. The air was so clear, and the sky so blue, that the light was dazzling, bouncing off of the snow.\nIt was such a strange feeling, completely cut off from civilisation, atop this beautiful glacier. Somehow it was more spiritual than any building I've ever visited. For me, the sight of the mighty iceberg lake, the bright sun and clear sky, and the crisp white snow, felt so euphoric that I was buzzing for some time afterwards.\nWhen it came to go back on the helicopter, I found myself saying goodbye to this amazing place. I shall always remember the feeling I had, standing on that glacier, seeing nothing but the raw beauty of the north all around me. I hope the short video below can show you something of the beauty I witnessed.",

        "title": "Daily Bible Reading is Necessary for Every Christian.",
        "raw_content": "Not Reading the Bible on a Daily Basis is a Sin\nIf the polls are to be believed the majority of Christians almost never read their Bible. Not just sometimes or once-in-a-while but almost never. The Bible cleary states that we are to be in the Word on a daily basis. The Bible is the foundation of the Christian faith. It is living and active, sharper than a double-edged sword. It is the very word of God. There is no excuse for a Christian to not read, and know, the Bible.\nI had a pastor once tell a story about two horses. The owner fed one of the horses but starved the other. Which one got stronger? When we read our Bible we are feeding our spiritual nature and starving our sinful nature. As our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces in the heavenly realms we need to keep feeding our spiritual nature. Our sinful nature gets enough food just by living in this fallen world.\nI had another pastor who had his own take on Bible reading. He said that we eat three meals a day but sometimes we need a snack. He went on to explain that in-depth Bible study is very important in a Christian's life. But there will be times when we are in situations where it would be helpful to have God's word quickly at hand. He recommended memorizing scripture. I took that advice to heart and began to memorize the word of God. I cannot even begin to recall how many times a Bible verse would come into my mind when I needed it. For anyone who might be interested I placed a list of my memory verses in a separate file.\nMy Memory Verses\nReading the Bible also helps us be able to quote scripture if needed. But when we quote God's word it is important to do it correctly. When Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness He quoted scripture. He did not paraphrase it. It seems that for many Christians when quoting scripture close seems to be good enough. But from the example set by Christ it is not. When quoting Bible verses we need to be careful not to let our words take the place of God's words.\nNo matter what the reason, or the method, it is important for the Christian to be in God's word on a daily basis. Just as a doctor studies medical texts or a mechanic reads service manuals the Bible should be the Christians guidebook for living. But when it comes to Bibles a question often asked by believers and non-believers alike is \"which version is the best one?\" Because there are so many versions of the Bible in circulation today it is difficult to know which version is the best one. I offer my own opinion on that subject in a separate letter.",

The figures are from the recently released Villa Home Price Index\u2122 (VHPI\u2122), a quarterly index focused on tracking home prices in key coastal Orange County neighborhoods.\nFor the second quarter, the weighted average sales price for a home in Newport Beach, Newport Coast and Corona Del Mar was $3,833,304, up 14.46% from the previous quarter and up 20.86% year over year.\nIn Newport Beach (92660, 92661, 92662 and 92663), the average sales price for a home was $3,404,183, up 14.64% from the previous quarter and up 21.51% year over year.\n\u201cThese figures show that the home values in Orange County, especially in the coastal communities continues to experience strong price appreciation,\u201d said Dave Girling, a Villa agent and real estate economist who helped spearhead the VHPI with Villa co-founder and President Steve High. \u201cWhile most zip codes in the VHPI saw double digit increases, we anticipate that with higher interest rates and signs of increased inventory levels that we may see a correction in the market could be healthy because the current rates of appreciation are unsustainable, especially in the higher priced markets.\"\nThe VHPI tracks single-family detached housing prices since 1998 in select neighborhoods where Villa Real Estate is actively representing buyers and sellers of residential real estate properties. The index provides a look at real estate values on a micro level, focusing on Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Corona Del Mar, Laguna Beach and Eastside Costa Mesa.\n\u201cThe VHPI is a tool that enables both buyers and sellers to better understand Orange County\u2019s unique coastal real estate market, and to make more informed decisions,\u201d says High. \u201cCurrently, we\u2019re seeing a strong demand with savvy buyers who recognize that these markets are solid investment opportunities.\u201d\nThe VHPI is released on a quarterly basis.

        "raw_content": "CHICAGO \u2014 Mike Zunino knew the ball hit the sweet spot. He just wasn't sure at first if it would clear the wall.\nZunino homered and scored twice to back Felix Hernandez in the Seattle Mariners' 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday.\nChicago's Yoan Moncada hit his first career leadoff homer . But at 5-16, the White Sox are off to their worst start since 1950.\nZunino doubled and scored in a two-run third and gave the Mariners a 4-3 lead with an opposite-field, solo drive to right against James Shields in the sixth.\n\"The rhythm, the timing's, the biggest thing and that's what's gonna come,\" Zunino said. \"Obviously, that's where I'm trying to drive those fastballs. It's tough on a day like today when you have Shields (who) can mix it up so well, add that really slow curveball and was able to locate it just below the zone. But I was just able to try to battle, get in a good count and get a good pitch to hit.\"\nNelson Cruz added three hits, including two RBI singles.\nHernandez (3-2) settled down after giving up the homer to Moncada and a double by Yolmer Sanchez on his first two pitches. The 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner went six innings, scattering three runs and seven hits while striking out six and walking two.\n\"After the first inning, I was in better command, making better pitches,\" Hernandez said. \"I had a good curveball, had a good sinker.\"\nJames Pazos worked a perfect seventh. Juan Nicasio struck out all three batters in the eighth, and Edwin Diaz tossed a one-two-three ninth for his 10th save in as many chances .\nThe bullpen also dominated in Tuesday in a 1-0 win, with Marco Gonzales and four relievers combining on a five-hitter.\nShields (1-3) went six innings, allowing four runs and six hits. The right-hander is 0-3 in four starts and five appearances since a season-opening win at Kansas City.\nYolmer Sanchez doubled, singled and scored two runs for Chicago. The White Sox lost for the 14th time in 16 games.\n\"We don't want to lose, ever,\" Shields said. \"No matter what the situation is, we're all competitive in this clubhouse, so we all want to win. The effort level is definitely there, but things just aren't going our way.\"\nMariners: The Mariners expect 1B Ryon Healy (sprained right ankle) to return from the 10-day disabled list at during this weekend's four-game series at Cleveland. Healy \u2014 who had 25 homers and 78 RBIs with Oakland last season \u2014 was 2 for 22 before getting hurt during a postgame workout. \"He needs to come in and contribute; he knows that. He's off to a slow start,\" manager Scott Servais said. \"Giving him the extra days of at-bats and playing time on the rehab assignment hopefully helps him.\"\nWhite Sox: Slugger Jose Abreu left the game because of flu-like symptoms and was replaced at first base by Matt Davidson to start the fourth. Manager Rick Renteria said the 2014 AL Rookie of the Year had been \"feeling a little bit queasy\" but opted not to sit out the game.\nMariners: The Mariners and Indians open their four-game series, with Seattle's LHP James Paxton (1-1, 5.61 ERA) trying to bounce back from a rough start and RHP Mike Clevinger (2-0, 1.75) looking to remain unbeaten.

        "raw_content": "Antipodism in Mexico\nThis article first appeared in DokuCirco magazine, a Mexican circus publication. To learn more about DokuCirco, visit Dokucirco.org\nTranslation: Thom Wall\nAntipodism is the practice of juggling with the feet while reclining on the back with the legs raised upwards. It is usually performed on a \u201ctrinka\u201d \u2013 a special kind of chair, designed for this purpose \u2013 though it is unclear when the trinka was first used.\nWithin antipodism, there are a diverse number of variations. The artists not only juggle objects, but sometimes also other people \u2013 however, when an act is purely acrobatic, without using juggling or balance with objects, it is commonly called \u201cIcarian games\u201d or \u201cRisley.\u201d\n\u201cThe practice of juggling with the feet is another of those balancing acts with an ancient origin \u2013 which is still performed today.\u201d \u2013 Wu Zimu, a scribe of the Song Dynasty (960-1279 [1]), describes juggling with bottles, plates, urns, and clocks that artists turned with their feet. Peng Shiwang, of the Chi\u2019ing dynasty (1616 \u2013 1911,) described how an acrobat used their feet to perform juggling tricks \u2013 tossing an eight year old child, a table, a wooden hammer, and a ladder with nine rungs into the air. An artist in Beijing painted one hundred screens to illustrate the customs of the Chi\u2019ing dynasty. One of those depticts an acrobat with a ladder balanced on the soles of his feet while another acrobat balances fearlessly on the ladder\u2019s top rung. [2]\nHowever, the Chinese are not the only culture with an ancient tradition of foot juggling. This art was also practiced in pre-colombian Mexico \u2013 an ancient ritual called Xocuahpatollin. There are communities in Mexico where antipodism can still be seen, performed in the traditional manner. Circus historian Julio Revolledo [3] says that this ritual practice is one of Mexico\u2019s greatest contributions to the modern circus community.\nIn 1528, when Hernan Cortes returned to Spain from his conquests in Mexico, he brought a troupe of indigenous antipodists with him \u2013 presented as a treasure of the conquered land to Emperor Carlos V of Spain, and I of Germany, as well as to Pope Clemente VII. Armando de Maria and Campos describes the spectacle that these indigenous Mexicans presented in the courts of Carlos V and Pope Clemente VII:\n\u201cA dancer lay on the ground on his back and lifted his legs. The large beam made of wood was placed horizontally on his feet. He began rotating it quickly, and stopped its spinning in an instant. Several times, other dancers stood atop the sides of the beam. Again, it was made to gyrate, and the standing men did not fall.\nThe word \u2013 the name of this game \u2013 translates to Spanish as \u201cthe game with timber on the feet.\u201d In the Florentine Codex (Sahagun, Troncesco,) you can see a scene with this performance. Clavijero, in his History of Ancient Mexcio, depicts these games with many drawings\u2026\u201d [4]\nThe first antipodism number that went on stage in the United States was performed by Marino Perez in 1831. This Colombian artist\u2019s routine contained traditional antipodism feats, but was performed on the hindquarters of a horse that galloped around the ring. This could be called \u201cEquestrian Antipodism.\u201d [5]\n[1] \u2013 The Song Dynsasty was a dynastic government in China between the years 960 and 1279. It followed the Five Dynasty and Ten King periods, and was followed by the Yuan dynasty. It was the first government in world history that used paper money, and the first Chinese government that established a permanent navy. The first known use of gunpowder happened in this dynasty. This dynasty also discerned true North using a compass.\n[2] A fragment of \u201cThe hundred amusements, two thousand years of endless acrobatic arts in China.\u201d Written by Huang Minghua and published in the UNESCO newsletter, January 1988.

He has written a number of books about the history of circus in Mexico.

        "title": "Sporting KC needs to proceed with caution with Johnny Russell | The Kansas City Star",
        "raw_content": "It was 53 weeks ago that Russell began training camp with Derby County for its 2017-18 campaign. By the time the Sporting KC regular season concludes in October, Russell will have played 16 months without a true offseason. A playoff run would further extend the workload.\nThe quandary affects a host of overseas players who make the move to MLS during the winter. It would have similarly impacted Sporting KC midfielder Felipe Gutierrez, but a sports hernia injury provided an unintended summer break.\nRussell, 28, has just kept on playing. He tallied five goals and six assists in his first half-season in Kansas City, though he has not scored an MLS goal since his hat track on April 20.\nJohnny Russell reacted to his hat trick in Sporting KC\u2019s 6-0 win against Vancouver on April 20, 2018.\nOn Wednesday, Vermes held Russell out of the starting lineup against Real Salt Lake, an attempt to give him a rare night off with a long-term plan in mind. But after a particularly lackluster opening half, Russell was on the field to start the second half. He recorded an assist in his 45 minutes.\n\u201cI have to be more cognizant of that,\u201d Vermes said. \u201cHe\u2019s a strong guy, but I just don\u2019t want to overburden him.\n\u201cI\u2019m more worried about the psychological (aspect). You can get a little, maybe bored is the wrong word, but I don\u2019t want it to get monotonous for him. Every day, he has to keep playing, keep hearing about soccer. And he has for a year now. I have to think about all those things.\u201d\nIt\u2019s a dilemma that has faced Sporting KC more than this season than at any point in Vermes\u2019 tenure. Last month, he preached caution with commanding a group of teenagers to play extended spells. It was the mental aspect that concerned him, not the physical one.\nWith Russell, it\u2019s both. He insists his body is holding up, but on several occasions over the past week, Russell and Vermes have been seen talking in a one-on-one setting on the practice field, a coach seeking an honest update about a player\u2019s well-being.\nIt\u2019s more proactive than reactive. For now, at least.\n\u201cHe constantly asks me how I\u2019m doing physically and mentally,\u201d Russell said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to be one that says I\u2019m struggling. I want to play. Every time he\u2019s asked, I\u2019ve said I\u2019m good to go.\u201d\nThe breaks come in other manners. With his wife and 1-year-old daughter in Kansas City, Russell says he has made more of an effort to draw his mind away from soccer when he\u2019s not at the training grounds.\n\u201cI know my body. I know I need to watch after myself,\u201d Russell said. \u201cBut it\u2019s one of those sports where you\u2019re in that environment where your head has to be on every day. I\u2019ve had to mentally sweat at times. Mentally, when you do get away, it\u2019s good to relax, do different things and just take your mind away from it. It\u2019s been working for me so far.\u201d\nSporting KC forward Johnny Russell has made a definite impact in his first season of MLS competition.Nick Tre. SmithSpecial to The Star",

        "title": "..one small step....",
        "raw_content": "..one small step....\nYesterday, like millions of others around the world, I was sat, glued to the tv watching Felix Baumgartner make his recording breaking skydive from 128,100 feet. The pictures from the capsule, just as he was about to jump, were awe-inspiring. I wondered what he was thinking at that moment and I was reminded of the grainy black and white images of Neil Armstrong descending the ladder on the Lunar Module and pausing just before stepping onto the surface of the moon back in 1969 (ok, im not that old, I have seen the footage on the tv many times over the years).\nAll it takes is \"one small step.....\" (and some balls!) But surely it's the same for anyone starting a new journey? Yesterday my eldest son started his Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award by undergoing expedition training near to where we live. Ok, not on the same scale as setting foot on the Moon, you might say, but it's all new to him. Equally, a good friend of mine is about to set off for South America and Antarctica, having never been very far away from her family and friends before, and is venturing out on her own. I'm sure it's a similar experience for anyone going rock climbing for the first time..the excitement, the doubt, the apprehension and fear of the unknown. Many scoff and deride such activities as crazy, or a waste of time, money and resources, but if we didn't do these things, I doubt whether we, as a species, would have been around very long. Each time we do something that is \"outside our comfort zone\", we learn something and gain much from that experience (if we survive it, of course). For instance, another friend of mine recently decided to try and lead their first rock climb. Despite my advice to take things easy, being full of enthusiasm, they set off up their chosen climb, only to fall off from about 15 feet and land heavily on their bum. Fortunately they escaped with a fractured coccyx and severe bruising (I would have posted the picture, but it's not a pretty sight, believe me!). \"What did you learn from that?\" I inquired. \"place better protection\" they said, \"oh, and hitting the ground hurts, so I don't intend to do that again. Can you teach me how to place protection properly?\" Of course I said I would, and so far there hasn't been any more mishaps. Training and experience does help you to cope with the unexpected, just look at Baumgartner's jump and how he stopped himself from spinning. Armstrong also used his training to avert disaster just before the Lunar Module touched down on the Moon, by taking manual control, coolly and calmly.\nI posted this next picture on my personal Facebook page. It caused quite a stir amongst my non-climbing friends.....\nTo the uninitiated, it looks quite foolhardy and scary. There I am, about 100ft up, above the sea, climbing without safety ropes or equipment. Yes, if I had fallen off, I wouldn't be writing this blog now. BUT, I have been climbing a long time. I have lots of experience of doing this sort of thing, the climb is well within my capability, the rock is solid and the weather is good. I weighed up all the pros and cons, based on my experience, and gave it a go. Baumgartner could have aborted his jump yesterday when he had problems with his visor heater, which meant that his visor misted up and he couldn't see properly, but his experience told him that he would be able to cope with this minor problem. Both of us stepped into the unknown. Surfers have a saying, which is \"If you don't go, you'll never know\", so why not take that small step that we all face in life? What ever you are deliberating over, do a bit of research, ask advice, go on a 'taster session'/training course and step into the unknown. Life would be so boring if you didn't.\n***Just in case you are wondering, I wouldn't advocate that everyone should start climbing solo. I know and accept the risks involved and have in excess of 25 years climbing experience. It was also done in my own time and I don't do this sort of thing while working professionally. Let me draw you to the British Mountaineering Council Participation Statement: \"The BMC recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement.\" ***\n10 Comments to ..one small step....:\nOtherwise, you can easily choose a method for incredibly dull instead of particularly original And this is quite often feasible.

        "raw_content": "Banks, Unions Are Big Ark. Losers\nSen. Blanche Lincoln's come-from-behind win may have lasting repercussions for both groups.\nWhen incumbent Blanche Lincoln pulled off a 52%-48% upset last night, her opponent, Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, was only one of many losers. Some of the more obvious include those in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party who want more orthodoxy and loyalty, voters who want to throw out all incumbents and the scores of political pundits who predicted Lincoln was toast.\nLabor unions, though, were the most obvious losers. They set out to make an example of Lincoln, who bucked their demands to support card check legislation, a more robust health care bill and other union priorities. Organized labor poured $10 million into the primary on Halter\u2019s behalf, insisting it wanted to send a message to Democrats that they couldn\u2019t take labor support for granted. In doing so labor leaders proved they don\u2019t really understand the mood of the country and ended up ticking off Democratic moderates, President Obama and the party establishment that backed Lincoln.\nThey also \u201cflushed $10 million of their members\u2019 money down the toilet in a pointless exercise,\u201d as one White House official told Politico. \u201cIf even half that total had been well-targeted and applied in key House races across this country, that could have made a real difference in November.\u201d\nBut there was another big loser last night: Banks. They were fervently hoping for Lincoln\u2019s defeat (but smart enough to stay in the background) because of her sponsorship of a key provision in the financial regulatory overhaul legislation. Lincoln, as chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, succeeded in getting the Senate to add language that would force big banks to shed most of their lucrative derivative business. The provision was important to Lincoln because it allowed her to campaign as someone willing to take on Wall Street, and some Democratic senators went along rather than undercut her in the middle of the primary campaign. Many figured they could quietly remove the prohibition in conference because the House version of the bill has no such provision and House Banking Chairman Barney Frank is skeptical of it.\nBut Lincoln\u2019s victory gives new impetus to the provision. For one thing, it makes her a more powerful player in the negotiations beginning this week. And because it was popular with voters and effective in proving her anti-Wall Street credentials, it will make nervous Democrats think twice about axing it. Modifications are still likely, but some version of the plan is now a good possibility, much to the dismay of the big banks.\nLincoln\u2019s victory last night is, of course, just a step in a very steep climb. She emerges from the process damaged and drained and is still an underdog in her November race against GOP Rep. John Boozman, who leads by as much as 20 percentage points in recent polls. But a Lincoln loss in November won\u2019t provide much solace to labor unions and banks, which will be licking their wounds in the coming weeks.",

        "title": "Vision and priorities for justice announced - Kirkintilloch Herald",
        "raw_content": "Vision and priorities for justice announced\nAn ambitious new strategy to create safer, just and more resilient communities across Scotland was unveiled by Justice Secretary Michael Matheson today.\nThe \u2018Vision and Priorities\u2019 for Justice was launched as demolition work began at Cornton Vale women\u2019s prison and the areas that will host Scotland\u2019s first community-based custody units (CCUs) were announced.\nDeveloped and agreed by the leaders of Scotland\u2019s justice system, and drawing on latest evidence, the Vision paper identifies effective approaches and emerging challenges. A delivery plan, detailing how justice professionals will work with the wider public and third sector to achieve their vision, will also be published annually.\nThe Justice Secretary said: \u201cOver the last decade Scotland has become a safer place, with less crime, including violence, falling drug use, improved fire safety and better support when people are victims of crime or other serious incidents. But we strive for greater progress, not least while inequality continues to influence the likelihood of someone being a victim of crime or being drawn into offending. This is among the challenges outlined in the Vision paper, which also highlights the relatively poor physical and mental health of people in contact with the justice system.\n\u201cOur criminal and civil justice system, and the valued professionals who sustain it are focused on building a safer and a fairer Scotland \u2013 protecting the public while supporting individuals and families facing financial, emotional or other crises. Our decisive shift in approach to youth justice, intervening earlier and providing multi-agency support, has seen huge falls in youth offending and we continue to draw lessons from that success.\u201d\nThe number of under-18s in custody has fallen by around two-thirds (64%) since 2006. The resulting extra capacity at HMP Polmont Young Offenders Institute has allowed many women to be transferred there ahead of Cornton Vale\u2019s demolition \u2013 which will make way for a new, smaller purpose-built national facility for around 80 women during 2020.\nMr Matheson said: \u201cWhile our imprisonment rate \u2013 the second highest in western Europe \u2013 remains too high, prisons will always be necessary for those who commit the most serious offences, or who pose significant risks to public safety. The Scottish Prison Service is transforming how they work to better rehabilitate those in custody, addressing underlying issues that can often drive their return to jail. With the demolition of Cornton Vale under way, there is no turning back on our plans for a smarter, more progressive approach to managing women in custody, ensuring they are prepared for life after release.\n\u201cThat is why I am also pleased to announce that the first two community custodial units for west and east Scotland will be in Glasgow and in Fife or Dundee. By housing women in smaller, community-based units closer to their families, and providing additional support to address their needs, such as drug and alcohol advice or mental health support, we can further reduce re-offending \u2013 and so keep crime down and our communities safe.\u201d\nThe new approach to women in custody reflects the key role \u2013 highlighted in the Vision and Priorities paper \u2013 of wider public services, notably in health but also other areas like parental support, education, housing and employability, in supporting justice partners to deliver on their priorities and achieve the ambition of safer, just and more resilient communities in every part of Scotland.\nThe Vision and Priorities for justice outlines seven priorities, stating that:\nWe will enable our communities to be safe and supportive, where individuals exercise their rights and responsibilities\nWe enable our people, economy and infrastructure to respond to major risk, recover from emergencies and adapt to emerging threats\nWe will modernise civil and criminal law and the justice system to meet the needs of people in Scotland in the 21st Century\nWe will work with others to improve health and wellbeing in justice settings, focusing on mental health and substance use\nWe will work to quickly identify offenders and ensure responses are proportionate, just, effective and promote rehabilitation\nWe will improve the experience of victims and witnesses, minimising court attendance and supporting them to give best evidence\nWe will use prison only where necessary to address offending or to protect public safety, focusing on recovery and reintegration.",

        "raw_content": "Eric Levenson, CNN\n(CNN) -- Despite the circumstances, Bill Cosby said his time in prison is an \"amazing experience,\" his press spokesman Andrew Wyatt said in a TV interview.\n\"Yeah, he used the term amazing experience,\" Wyatt said.\nWyatt's interview with WCAU in Philadelphia provides new details of Cosby's time behind bars at SCI Phoenix, the prison outside Philadelphia. Cosby was sentenced in September to three to 10 years in prison for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand at his home in 2004.\nCosby was moved to the prison's general population two weeks ago and is now in a single cell without a cellmate, said Amy Worden, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. He was previously being held in a single cell in a unit adjacent to the infirmary.\nBill Cosby's wife Camille has not yet visited him in prison, and that's just how Cosby prefers it, Wyatt said.\n\"Right now I'm his only visitor outside of his attorneys, and that's the way he wants it,\" Wyatt said. \"She has not visited him. He does not want her to visit him.\"\nInstead, Cosby prefers to speak to his wife by phone -- three times a day for three minutes each, Wyatt confirmed. The prison, 30 miles outside of Philadelphia, is about a 30- to 45-minute drive from Montgomery County, where Cosby has a home.\n'He's mentally strong'\n\"And he hasn't drank any coffee since he's been in there. Now the funny part about it (is) Mrs. Cosby's been trying to stop him from drinking coffee for 55 years and it took this to stop him from drinking coffee,\" Wyatt said.\n\"He's mentally strong. He's just a strong man,\" Wyatt added.\n\"He does not eat in the area with other residents, he does not have a cellmate, and he does not exercise with other residents,\" Wyatt said last week.\nThe general population cells where Cosby is being held are arrayed in two stories around a central \"day room,\" where inmates can talk, watch TV or play cards, Worden said. Like all other general population inmates, Cosby must be accounted for in his cell seven times a day.",

        "raw_content": "KUKA continues to grow\nGuidance targets for 2014 completely fulfilled\nOrders received totaling \u20ac2.2 billion \u2013 over \u20ac2 billion for the first time; sales revenue rose to \u20ac2.1 billion (+18.1 percent)\nEBITDA up to \u20ac184.9 million (+16.7 percent); EBIT margin at 6.8 percent (constant)\nDividend recommendation \u20ac0.40 per share (previous year \u20ac0.30 per share)\nIntegration of Swisslog continuing apace\nTargets for 2015: Sales revenue around \u20ac2.8 billion and EBIT margin around 5.5% before purchase price allocation\nTargets for 2020: Sales revenue \u20ac4-4.5 billion and EBIT margin over 7.5 percent\nIn 2014, KUKA clearly surpassed the previous year\u2019s key figures. Due to the high global demand for robots and automation solutions, orders received, sales revenue and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were all higher, with percentage growth rates in double figures. The group fully met the guidance targets for 2014: sales revenue totaled around \u20ac2.1 billion and was thus over the target value of around \u20ac2.0 billion. At 6.8 percent, the EBIT margin was also above the forecast estimate of 6.5 percent.\nGeneral Industry business expanded to over 50 percent\n\u201cWe not only achieved outstanding results in 2014, we also set a strategically important course: the acquisitions of Reis and Alema and the purchase of Swisslog have helped us to diversify further, gain access to new markets and expand our General Industry business to over 50 percent of sales revenue. We have continued to invest intensively in research and development, thereby increasing our innovative strength. The course is thus set for further growth,\u201d said Dr. Till Reuter, CEO of KUKA AG.\nIncrease in orders through acquisitions and organic growth\nOrders received reached \u20ac2,229.0 million and thus considerably exceeded the previous year\u2019s value (2013: \u20ac1,881.9 million). Both divisions contributed to the organic growth. Robotics recorded orders received totaling \u20ac805.5 million. This is equivalent to a plus of 1.5 percent on the previous year\u2019s result of \u20ac793.5 million. Systems saw orders received increase to \u20ac1,456.0 million (2013: \u20ac1,111.6 million). Systems registered strong demand, particularly from the North American automotive industry, but also from leading automotive manufacturers in Germany, China and Brazil. The division also won major contracts from the aerospace sector.\nSales revenue of the KUKA Group increased to a total of \u20ac2,095.7 million in the financial year 2014. This was some 18.1 percent higher than the previous year\u2019s level (2013: \u20ac1,774.5 million). The newly-acquired companies Reis Group and Alema contributed \u20ac135.8 million of sales revenue, so organic sales revenue also reached an all-time high at \u20ac1,959.9 million. This corresponds to organic growth of 10.4 percent on the previous year. The Robotics division saw a 10.7 percent increase in sales revenue to \u20ac834.6 million (2013: \u20ac754.1 million). The Systems division increased sales revenue from \u20ac1,045.9 million in 2013 to \u20ac1,285.6 million in the financial year 2014. This corresponds to an increase of 22.9 percent. Systems thus achieved sales revenue in excess of one billion euro for the third year running. This includes the sales share of the acquired companies, Reis Group and Alema, totaling \u20ac135.8 million. In organic terms, Systems increased its sales revenue to \u20ac1,149.8 million\nAs in the previous year, the book-to-bill ratio, i.e. orders received in relation to sales revenue, was once again over 1 at the end of the year. The latest figure of 1.06 signals high capacity utilization.\nKUKA Group\u2019s order backlog amounted to \u20ac1,702.5 million at the end of 2014.\nCompared with the reference value for the previous year, this corresponds to an increase of 71.7 percent (December 31, 2013: \u20ac991.6 million). The new companies acquired contributed a total of \u20ac642.6 million. This also includes Swisslog due to the initial consolidation on December 31, 2014. Robotics had an end-of-year order backlog (not including frame contracts with the automotive industry) of \u20ac241.5 million (December 31, 2013: \u20ac280.7 million). The order backlog at Systems rose significantly to \u20ac955.4 million (previous year: \u20ac714.4 million).\nEBIT margin at previous year\u2019s level despite acquisitions\nEarnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the KUKA Group exceeded \u20ac100 million for the third year running. In the year under review, EBIT rose by 17.9 percent to \u20ac142.0 million (2013: \u20ac120.4 million). The EBIT margin of 6.8% was the same as the previous year despite the acquisitions and associated restructuring costs at Reis. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) rose in financial year 2014 to \u20ac184.9 million (2013: \u20ac158.4 million). Robotics considerably surpassed the previous year\u2019s result of \u20ac77.1 million with an EBIT of \u20ac89.5 million. At 10.7 percent, the EBIT margin was also above that of the previous year (2013: 10.2 percent). EBITDA of Robotics rose from \u20ac101.9 million in 2013 to the new record value of \u20ac112.0 million in the year under review. The EBITDA margin of 13.4 percent almost equaled the previous year\u2019s result. KUKA Systems generated an EBIT of \u20ac80.2 million in 2014 (2013: \u20ac60.8 million). The EBIT margin was 6.2 percent \u2013 representing a year-over-year rise of 0.4 percent. The EBIT margin for Systems without the acquisitions even reached 7.6 percent. This increase is primarily attributable to improved process structures, the expansion of competence centers in countries with lower cost structures and the high capacity utilization. EBITDA of Systems rose from \u20ac71.0 million in 2013 to \u20ac97.4 million in the year under review. The EBITDA margin increased from 6.8 percent in 2013 to 7.6 percent in 2014.\nEarnings after taxes significantly increased\nAt Group level, KUKA achieved earnings after taxes of \u20ac68.1 million (2013: \u20ac58.3 million). This corresponds to an increase of 16.8 percent. Adjusted to take into consideration the one-off costs of around \u20ac18 million for the early redemption of the high-yield bond, the earnings after taxes would have risen to over \u20ac80 million (+38 percent on the previous year). Earnings per share improved accordingly from \u20ac1.72 (2013) to \u20ac1.99 (2014). For this reason, the Executive Board is recommending to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of \u20ac0.40 per share for the financial year 2014. This represents a rise of 33.3 percent on the previous year.\nThe free cash flow in the year under review was affected by the company acquisitions, and in particular the purchase of Swisslog, and achieved a negative value of -\u20ac198.5 million (2013: \u20ac95.4 million). Adjusted to take the effects of the acquisitions into consideration, the organic positive free cash flow for 2014 was \u20ac89.8 million.\nPrimarily as a result of the capital increase, the net profit and currency conversion differences, equity capital as at December 31, 2014, rose by 42.7 percent to \u20ac541.1 million. The increase in equity capital was thus proportionate to the balance sheet total. The equity ratio thus remained virtually constant at 27.3 percent (2013: 27.5 percent).\nGrowth in workforce through acquisitions and organic growth\nDue to the acquisitions of Reis, Alema and Swisslog, the workforce of the KUKA Group has grown significantly. The number of employees also rose due to new hires, particularly in China, North America and Germany. At the end of 2014, the Group\u2019s workforce totaled 12,102. This corresponds to an increase of 51.5 percent on the previous year\u2019s figure of 7,990. Around 85 percent of the new employees work for the newly acquired companies Swisslog (2,369 employees), Reis (1,032 employees) and Alema (87 employees).\nExpected growth in sales revenue due to Swisslog consolidation and organic growth\nThe KUKA Group expects the current economic trend to have positive effects on sales revenue. Given the current economic forecasts and general conditions, KUKA expects high demand in the financial year 2015, particularly from the North America and Asia regions, and especially from China. Demand in Europe is expected to remain relatively stable or to rise slightly.\nOn this basis, KUKA is expecting total sales revenue of around \u20ac2.8 billion for the financial year 2015. Moreover, the two customer segments General Industry and Automotive, and the key regions of China and North America, are expected to make a positive contribution to sales development. EBITDA should improve to over EUR 200 million in 2015. Investment for growth in new industries, in global processes and IT structures, and in the Chinese market is expected to have a negative impact on the EBIT margin in the current financial year 2015, as are the integration and restructuring costs for Swisslog. The Group expects to achieve an EBIT margin of around 5.5 percent before purchase price allocation for the Swisslog acquisition. KUKA is aiming to achieve rapid integration of Swisslog into the KUKA Group. The targeted EBIT margin will be reduced from 5.5 percent to an expected 3.5 percent due to a regular writedown of assets totaling around EUR 60 million identified as part of the purchase price allocation following the purchase of Swisslog Holding AG.\nKUKA will benefit from the global trend towards automation and is expecting strong impetus and growth, particularly in the fields of production and logistics. Furthermore, the Executive Board issued a 5-year outlook for the first time, in which it forecast sales revenue for the Group totaling EUR 4 to 4.5 billion for the financial year 2020 and an EBIT margin of over 7.5%.\nWe have set ourselves three core targets for 2015. With the integration of Swisslog, we intend to expand our General Industry business still further, strengthen our global presence still further, and further develop our innovative technologies in order to play a role in shaping the factory of the future.\nKey figures - KUKA group\nKey figures - KUKA robotics\nKey figures - KUKA systems",

        "title": "Big banks roll out Zelle, a money-transfer app to take on Venmo - Los Angeles Times",
        "raw_content": "Big banks roll out Zelle, a money-transfer app to take on Venmo\nA consortium of 17 institutions, including some of the nation's largest banks, are rolling out a new person-to-person payment app as a challenger to Venmo. (Early Warning)\nA consortium of banks, including Wells Fargo & Co., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Bank of America Corp., are rolling out a new money-transfer app to take on Venmo and other mobile payment upstarts.\nThe app, dubbed Zelle, will offer the same kind of instant, person-to-person payments users of Venmo have been making for years \u2014 and that banks have been eager to offer as they try to stay relevant to younger customers.\nZelle users will be able to send money to almost anyone, as long as they have a Visa- or Mastercard-branded debit card. That's a feature that Venmo has long had but something new for the big banks, which have operated a more limited person-to-person payment system for several years.\nThe money would be transferred immediately and could be used to pay bills or make payments to friends or others.\nIn addition, customers of the 17 institutions that have founded the Zelle network, who count some 76 million customers, will be able to use Zelle to send money while signed into their bank's mobile apps.\nIn the long-term, the banks hope that essentially all U.S. financial institutions will be part of the network and that the app might not even be necessary.\n\"If we're successful, the Zelle app could go away at some point,\" said Lou Anne Alexander, group president of payment solutions at Early Warning, the bank-owned developer of the app. \"The goal is to get every financial institution participating and getting this integrated into their own mobile apps.\"\nThe banks and associated payment processors previewed Zelle at an industry conference Sunday, prior to an official announcement Monday.\nEarly Warning traces its roots back to a 2011 push by Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase to build a system that would allow their customers to send money to each using phone numbers or email addresses rather than the older, clunkier system of using account and routing numbers.\nThat system, called ClearXchange, is still in use now, and processes about $175 million in payments each day, Alexander said. That figure that would put it ahead of Venmo, which processed $4.9 billion in payments in the most recent quarter, or about $54 million a day.\nBut ClearXchange has a big limitation: It only works if the parties sending and receiving money both had accounts at participating banks.\nZelle would replace ClearXchange and, like its predecessor, is designed to keep Square Cash, PayPal-owned Venmo and other mobile payment platforms from eating into bank business.\nThough banks would likely prefer to have their own customers continue to use their own mobile banking apps, rather than giving them the option of a third-party app, Alexander said opening the system up to everyone was necessary.\n\"I think the banks look at the Zelle app as something that's needed for the immediate growth of the network,\" she said.\nThe Zelle app will roll out sometime in the first half of next year, though some banks will begin adding Zelle to their own apps sooner.\nAlready, Bank of America said in an announcement Monday that Zelle will be part of its mobile app starting in December.\nAlexander estimated that Americans make about 1 billion person-to-person payments a year, some electronically but many in the form of cash or checks. That's everything from paying a babysitter or a gardener to splitting rent or a restaurant check.\nThose payments totaled about $1.2 trillion in 2014, according to research and consulting firm Aite Group.\nBut not everyone is comfortable making them electronically. More than 40% of millennials made mobile payments in 2014, compared with only 12% of Baby Boomers, according to Aite.\nZelle's goal, she said, is to handle 60% of those payments \u2014 or some 600 million transactions annually \u2014 within the next three to five years as the practice becomes more common.\nTimes staff writer Jim Puzzanghera contributed to this report.\nCalifornia actually benefits a lot from trade with China\nElon Musk describes his vision for human habitats on Mars\nThe rise of the small screen is what's driving AT&T's $84.5-billion deal for Time Warner\n6:30 p.m. This article was updated with comments from Lou Anne Alexander, group president of payment solutions at Early Warning, and other details.",

        "raw_content": "Why Criminal Defendants Should Not Represent Themselves in Court\nIf you've been charged with a crime and are thinking about representing yourself in court, think again. You've heard the saying, \"A doctor who treats himself has a fool for a patient.\" Similarly, a criminal defendant who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.\n5 Reasons to Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer\nWhy shouldn't you save some money and represent yourself? Let's look at some of the reasons:\nYou'll make mistakes. The law is precise, with a lot of rules and requirements. A simple mistake-a missed deadline or filing the wrong paperwork-could mean the difference between freedom and jail time. Do you have complete confidence in your ability to become an overnight expert in the legal system and the criminal process?\nThe prosecutor and judge won't take it easy on you simply because you lack a lawyer. The judge hearing your case and the lawyer who is prosecuting it may see dozens of criminal defendants each and every day. With a long list of cases to deal with, they will have little patience if you slow things down and are making mistakes. Ask yourself: Do you want to annoy the two people who may have the biggest influence on whether you land in prison?\nCriminal defense lawyers study and train for years before they first appear in court. If the law were easy, the world wouldn't need lawyers. After college, attorneys spend three years in law school then train as \"associates\" for seven to 10 years. All the while, they're regularly attending seminars, reading articles and continuing to learn.\nIt probably won't save you any money. Say you've been charged with a misdemeanor crime that could bring a fine of a couple hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. Maybe you want to save the cost of hiring a criminal defense attorney because you know you'll have to pay the fines. An attorney may be able to strike a deal with the prosecutor in exchange for a lower fine-or no fine at all. Often a lawyer is the best investment you'll make when you've been charged with a crime.\nMost importantly, a criminal conviction will have long-lasting repercussions. Depending on the severity of the charges, you're putting your freedom, your job, your relationships and your money on the line when you represent yourself in criminal court. Are you really willing to take the risk and lose all of those things simply because you decided not to hire an attorney?",

        "raw_content": "Meteor City & Meteor Crater, Arizona\nMeteor City Trading Post, Arizona\nAfter leaving Winslow and heading west on Route 66 you will soon come to Meteor City, an abandoned tourist attraction that enticed travelers to stop for many years. Despite the name, Meteor City was never the name of a town, but, rather, it was a trading post. In addition to the many items that it sold, it was, and still is, a great photo opportunity with its geodesic dome and the world\u2019s largest dream catcher.\nWith no one watching the \u201cstore\u201d the Meteor City Trading Post has been badly vandalized\nThe first business established at the site was a gas station in 1938. Three years later, in 1941, a store was also built on the site. Somewhere along the line the gas station closed. In 1979, a dome replaced the rectangular building that housed the store. Unfortunately, the dome burned in 1990 and was replaced by the current structure. After operating for years, the owners tried to sell the business. However, when they had no buyers, the property was left to nature, animals, and unfortunately vandals.\nMeteor City Dream Catcher\nToday, though the building and its iconic dream catcher remain, it sits abandoned and deteriorating each day in the desert sun.\nMeteor Crater, Arizona courtesy Wikipedia\nJust west of Meteor City, is the road to the Meteor Crater, some six miles south of I-40. The crater was formed approximately 50,000 years ago when an iron mass, weighing over 60,000 tons entered the Earth\u2019s atmosphere, resulting in the formation which is about 4,000 feet wide and 570 feet deep.\nDuring the hey days of Route 66 a man named D.M. Barringer built an observatory just off of the Mother Road so that the many travelers passing by the area could see the crater without having to travel the additional six or so miles to the site. For just 25 cents, travelers could stand from the observation tower and see the crater through a telescope.\nMeteorite Observatory\nToday the observatory is nothing but stone ruins; however, a visitor\u2019s center and guided tours are available at the crater itself.\nContinuing west upon your journey you will soon see the exit of Two Guns. Here, there are actually two ghost towns \u2013 Two Guns and Canyon Diablo, one almost on top of the other. Located on the far side of the canyon, Canyon Diablo was described, during its heyday, like this: \u201cTombstone, Virginia City and Abilene could not hold a candle to this end-of-the-rail depravity.\u201d Two Guns, built after Canyon Diablo was already long dead, thrived during the peak years of Route 66 popularity.\nToday, both towns sit silently looking upon the canyon below. Located on private property, the site is sometimes inaccessible, with gates closed and photo opportunities available only from the frontage road. At other times, the gate is open, seemingly inviting a visit.\nTo Two Guns\nTo Winslow",

        "raw_content": "Dull Knife \u2013 Northern Cheyenne Chief\nCheyenne Chief Dull Knife, 1873\nThe life of Dull Knife, the Cheyenne Chief, is a true hero tale. Simple, child-like yet manful, and devoid of selfish aims, or love of gain, he is a pattern for heroes of any race.\nDull Knife was a chief of the old school. Among all the Indians of the plains, nothing counts save proven worth. A man\u2019s caliber is measured by his courage, unselfishness and intelligence. Many writers confuse history with fiction, but in Indian history their women and old men and even children witness the main events, and not being absorbed in daily papers and magazines, these events are rehearsed over and over with few variations. Though orally preserved, their accounts are therefore accurate. But they have seldom been willing to give reliable information to strangers, especially when asked and paid for.\nRacial prejudice naturally enters into the account of a man\u2019s life by enemy writers, while one is likely to favor his own race. I am conscious that many readers may think that I have idealized the Indian.\nTherefore I will confess now that we have too many weak and unprincipled men among us. When I speak of the Indian hero, I do not forget the mongrel in spirit, false to the ideals of his people. Our trustfulness has been our weakness, and when the vices of civilization were added to our own, we fell heavily.\nIt is said that Dull Knife as a boy was resourceful and self-reliant. He was only nine years old when his family was separated from the rest of the tribe while on a buffalo hunt. His father was away and his mother busy, and he was playing with his little sister on the banks of a stream, when a large herd of buffalo swept down upon them on a stampede for water. His mother climbed a tree, but the little boy led his sister into an old beaver house whose entrance was above water, and here they remained in shelter until the buffalo passed and they were found by their distracted parents.\nDull Knife was quite a youth when his tribe was caught one winter in a region devoid of game, and threatened with starvation. The situation was made worse by heavy storms, but he secured help and led a relief party a hundred and fifty miles, carrying bales of dried buffalo meat on pack horses.\nAnother exploit that made him dear to his people occurred in battle, when his brother-in-law was severely wounded and left lying where no one on either side dared to approach him. As soon as Dull Knife heard of it he got on a fresh horse, and made so daring a charge that others joined him; thus under cover of their fire he rescued his brother-in-law, and in so doing was wounded twice.\nThe Sioux knew him as a man of high type, perhaps not so brilliant as Roman Nose and Two Moon, but surpassing both in honesty and simplicity, as well as in his war record. (Two Moon, in fact, was never a leader of his people, and became distinguished only in wars with the whites during the period of revolt.) A story is told of an ancestor of the same name that illustrates well the spirit of the age.\nIt was the custom in those days for the older men to walk ahead of the moving caravan and decide upon all halts and camping places. One day the councilors came to a grove of wild cherries covered with ripe fruit, and they stopped at once. Suddenly a grizzly charged from the thicket. The men yelped and hooted, but the bear was not to be bluffed. He knocked down the first warrior who dared to face him and dragged his victim into the bushes.\nThe whole caravan was in the wildest excitement. Several of the swiftest-footed warriors charged the bear, to bring him out into the open, while the women and dogs made all the noise they could. The bear accepted the challenge, and as he did so, the man whom they had supposed dead came running from the opposite end of the thicket.\nThe Indians were delighted, and especially so when in the midst of their cheers, the man stopped running for his life and began to sing a Brave Heart song as he approached the grove with his butcher knife in his hand. He would dare his enemy again!\nThe grizzly met him with a tremendous rush, and they went down together. Instantly the bear began to utter cries of distress, and at the same time the knife flashed, and he rolled over dead. The warrior was too quick for the animal; he first bit his sensitive nose to distract his attention, and then used the knife to stab him to the heart.\nNorthern Cheyenne Painting\nHe fought many battles with knives thereafter and claimed that the spirit of the bear gave him success. On one occasion, however, the enemy had a strong buffalo-hide shield which the Cheyenne bear fighter could not pierce through, and he was wounded; nevertheless he managed to dispatch his foe. It was from this incident that he received the name of Dull Knife, which was handed down to his descendant.\nAs is well known, the Northern Cheyenne uncompromisingly supported the Sioux in their desperate defense of the Black Hills and Big Horn country. Why not? It was their last buffalo region \u2014 their subsistence. It was what our wheat fields are to a civilized nation.\nAbout the year 1875, a propaganda was started for confining all the Indians upon reservations, where they would be practically interned or imprisoned, regardless of their possessions and rights. The men who were the strongest advocates of the scheme generally wanted the Indians\u2019 property \u2014 the one main cause back of all Indian wars. From the warlike Apaches to the peaceful Nez Perce, all the tribes of the plains were hunted from place to place; then the government resorted to peace negotiations, but always with an army at hand to coerce. Once disarmed and helpless, they were to be taken under military guard to the Indian Territory.\nA few resisted, and declared they would fight to the death rather than go. Among these were the Sioux, but nearly all the smaller tribes were deported against their wishes. Of course those Indians who came from a mountainous and cold country suffered severely. The moist heat and malaria decimated the exiles. Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce and Chief Standing Bear of the Poncas appealed to the people of the United States, and finally succeeded in having their bands or the remnant of them returned to their own part of the country. Dull Knife was not successful in his plea, and the story of his flight is one of poignant interest.\nHe was regarded by the authorities as a dangerous man, and with his depleted band was taken to the Indian Territory without his consent in 1876. When he realized that his people were dying like sheep, he was deeply moved. He called them together. Every man and woman declared that they would rather die in their own country than stay there longer, and they resolved to flee to their northern homes.",

        "raw_content": "Branding Cattle in 1891. Click for prints & products.\nInto the vast open range of Wyoming, where thousands of buffalo once roamed, came great herds of cattle in the 1880s. At this time, most of the land was public domain and utilized primarily by large cattle ranchers, but, as more and more small homesteaders moved into the region, the cattle barons began to resist.\nIn 1884, the entire range was monopolized by some 20 big ranches who allowed their cattle to roam freely on the open range. Each spring, a roundup was held, where the cows and calves belonging to each ranch were separated and the calves branded. However, sometimes, calves were taken and branded before they could be rounded up, causing the large ranch owners to aggressively punish cattle rustlers. Because the cattle barons generally ran their ranches with a \u201chands-off\u201d approach, hiring cowboys and foremen to do the work, they usually forbade their own employees from owning cattle. This eliminated any temptation to take a few orphan or stray calves. In the beginning, property and water rights were usually respected among big and small ranches based on who was first to settle the land and the size of the herd. However, as more and more homesteaders moved into the region, some of the large ranches banded together to monopolize large areas of the open range in order to prevent newcomers from settling.\nAdding fuel to the fire was an increasing number of missing cattle, especially the unbranded calves. Though the vast majority of small ranchers were hard-working men, there were some who saw the maverick calves as a way to build their herds and would unscrupulously make away with them before the large ranch round-ups. Before long, the cattle barons began to blame the homesteaders for any missing cattle. The cattle barons were also unhappy as they watched more and more of the open range being taken over by large sheep herds \u2013 blasphemy to a cattleman.\nCowboy in the Winter in Wyoming by Charles Belden\nThe tension increased between the cattle barons and the smaller ranch owners after a summer of drought was followed by severe blizzards during the winter of 1886-1887. Thousands of cattle died of the bitter cold and more were lost to wolves and cattle rustlers. At the same time, cattle prices plummeted, causing the cattle barons\u2019 profits to drop dramatically and even put a few of them out of business.\nBy this time, the large ranches were greatly outnumbered by the homesteaders who had little sympathy for their problems. Time after time, cattle thieves were hauled into court, but, it was almost impossible to get a jury to convict anyone. Finally, the cattle barons decided to take matters into their own hands and stepped up the number of range detectives hired by the Wyoming Stock Growers Association to help curb cattle rustling. The Association also drew up a number of new rules that made it extremely difficult for anyone to register a new brand and employed stock inspectors at shipping points to confiscate cattle with unregistered brands.\nThe large ranchers also began to aggressively appropriate land where they controlled the water supply and excluded smaller ranchers from participation in the annual roundup. At the same time, the detectives hired by the Association were increasingly implicated in the deaths of a number of small ranchers and suspected cattle thieves.\nThings really came to a head when homesteaders Ella Watson, aka Cattle Kate, and Jim Averell were accused of cattle rustling and hanged in July 1889. Though the small area ranchers were enraged, the intimidation continued.\nFinally, in the spring of 1892, the angry small ranchers decided to start their own association called the Northern Wyoming Farmers and Stock Growers Association.\nIn response, the Wyoming Stock Growers Association decided to hire some 50 men, including a number of known Texas killers, to eliminate the alleged rustlers in Johnson County. On April 5, 1892, a large party of cattlemen, five stock detectives, including Frank M. Canton, and 23 gunfighters, under the command of Major Frank Wolcott, set out from Cheyenne on their way to Buffalo. Beyond Casper, the force, called the \u201cRegulators,\u201d began cutting the telegraph lines along the way, in order to prevent an alarm.\nThe armed men first targeted Nate Champion of the KC Ranch, who some have said had been actively promoting the rival Northern Wyoming Farmers and Stock Growers Association and a competing roundup. However, according to Dale Champion, Nate\u2019s Great Great Great Nephew, in his research he found that Nate was not actively promoting the association, nor a competing roundup. In fact, Champion tells us that the Association had appointed Nate as their leader during a meeting he wasn\u2019t even at. When Nate found out, he declined the nomination, but by then word had gotten out about the meeting. Dale Champion says \u201cBy them choosing Nate, they signed his death warrant.\u201d\nWhen the hired guns arrived, they found only four men at the ranch cabin. Two trappers who were just passing through were captured, but Nate Champion and cowboy, Rueben \u201cNick\u201d Ray, were shot and killed. Dale Champion adds, \u201cAt the time of Nate\u2019s death he had eight pack horses, all just paid for, and nearly 200 head of cattle of his own. He was getting ready to take a ranch and homestead it. He had a good reputation as an honest businessman.\u201d\nDuring the siege, Jack Flagg, a suspected rustler, and his stepson Alonzo Taylor unwittingly crossed the firing zone. Though the gunfighters chased them, the pair escaped to warn the people of Buffalo of the group of armed men. The following day, Buffalo Sheriff Red Angus led a posse of 200 men to find the gunfighters. Holed up at the TA Ranch on Crazy Woman Creek, the posse laid siege to the ranch and Wolcott\u2019s men.\nA standoff occurred until one of the \u201cRegulators\u201d escaped and contacted the Wyoming Governor. In no time, the Sixth Cavalry from Fort McKinney proceeded to the TA Ranch to save the Association members from the sheriff\u2019s posse. Early on the morning of April 13th, the standoff came to an end when the cattlemen surrendered to the 6th Cavalry.\nIn the protective custody of the cavalry, Wolcott and his men were transferred to Cheyenne. The Texas gunfighters immediately disappeared after bail was made and they were released. Court proceedings began for the locals and a trial was eventually set for January 1893. But as time dragged on, material witnesses disappeared and finding impartial jurors proved to be next to impossible. Ultimately, the high cost of the trial led the court to dismiss the entire case.\nThough the Johnson County War was over, scattered violence continued for over a decade as rustlers continued to be hanged.\n\u00a9 Kathy Weiser/Legends of America, updated December 2018.\nAt Legends\u2019 Photo Print Shop.\nThe Homestead Act \u2013 Creating Prosperity in America\nWolcott\u2019s Regulators of the Johnson County War",

Such waste, including but not limited to plastic bags, medical waste, human feces and dirty or used fuel, threatens marine species in the various wetlands.\nEnvironmentalists and other concerned stakeholders have consistently called for urgent and practical action aimed at protecting wetlands from abuse. But such concerns have often gone unheeded by authorities responsible for environmental conservation and protection.\nReports from urban areas with coastal mangroves such as Robertsport, Monrovia, Buchanan, Marshall, say wood harvested from mangroves are highly prized by local people for drying fish.\nThere are also reports of the use of dynamite to kill fish. Even marine turtles and crocodiles are said to be under threat from poaching activities.\nSeveral officials of the Liberia Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the past 12 years have conducted several professional and technical workshops geared towards enhancing the protection of wetlands in Liberia. In spite of support from partners and stakeholders, wetlands including mangrove swamps continue to come under pressure from uncontrolled human activity.\nSome examples of wetlands and mangrove swamps that are under threat of abuse in the Monrovia area include Peace Island, SKD Boulevard, King Grey and New Hope communities in Monrovia and Paynesville.\nLegal experts point out that environmental laws and regulations are weak and enforcement mechanisms are not robust to safeguard and protect the Liberian environment especially wetlands, which include the mangrove swamps.\nComments and views from Liberians in the affected areas strongly underscore the urgent need for some robust and practical actions on the part of environmental authorities in order to protect the wetlands of Liberia.\n57-year old former EPA staff Steven B. Sanford called on the EPA senior staff to design new programs and strategies that will enhance the full protection of all the wetlands and mangrove swamps in Liberia.\n\u201cI would greatly appreciate were the EPA and our support partners to focus on the practical application of environmental laws, regulations and policies that will serve to protect our wetlands and mangrove swamps,\u201d Sanford stressed.\nElizabeth Gerald Williams, 48, noted that priority should be placed on the full protection of wetlands and mangrove swamps in Liberia\nThe former Monrovia sanitary health inspector described the protection of wetlands and mangrove swamps as critical to the development of Liberia\u2019s ecosystem and its vital biodiversity.\nShe added that there are too many vital and endangered species in the wetlands and mangroves that need all practical protection from the current threat of abuse.\n\u201cI really want the EPA and our support partners to wake up and work without fear and favor and fully protect our wetlands and mangrove swamps in our country,\u201d she pleaded.\n55-year old environmental advocate Sam K. Collins of Monrovia called on all support partners connected to the environment of Liberia especially the World Bank and United Nations Environmental Program to double up their engagements with the EPA and other relevant stakeholders.\nHe, however, urged the new Liberian Government to review and formulate concrete short, medium and long range plans that are practical and achievable in the years to come in Liberia.\nCollins also underscored the urgent need for substantial funding to the EPA, Ministry of Health, research institutions and other relevant agencies that are connected with the vital protection of wetlands and mangrove swamps in Liberia.\nThe Convention on Wetlands, called the RAMSAR Convention, is the intergovernmental treaty that provides the framework for the conservation and wise use of wetlands and their resources. Liberia is a signatory to the RAMSAR Convention.\nAccording to the RAMSAR Convention, \u201cWetlands are vital for human survival. They are among the world\u2019s most productive environments; cradles of biological diversity that provide the water and productivity upon which countless species of plants and animals depend for survival.\n\u201cWetlands are indispensable for the countless benefits or \u2018ecosystem services\u2019 that they provide humanity, ranging from freshwater supply, food and building materials, and biodiversity, to flood control, groundwater recharge, and climate change mitigation.\u201d\nThe Convention uses a broad definition of wetlands. This includes all lakes and rivers, underground aquifers, swamps and marshes, wet grasslands, peatlands, oases, estuaries, deltas and tidal flats, mangroves and swamps\nPrevious articleMr. President, Be Careful as You Seek Guidance from Your Predecessor\nNext articleCFL Graduates 30 Primary School Teachers",

        "raw_content": "Video 1 of 11 of the Introduction to Political Philosophy guide (Download MP3 Version)\nWhat Makes Institutions Just or Unjust? 06:04\nBrennan gives a sense of the sort of questions examined in the field of political philosophy.\nBrennan: So imagine that your neighbor, Vani, is really virtuous. Let\u2019s call her Virtuous Vani. And she realizes that too many people are consuming too much sugar so she decides to take the nation\u2019s health problems into her own hands. Next thing you know, she\u2019s showing up at the local 7-11 with a gun in her hand saying, \u201cYou can\u2019t sell Big Gulps anymore, or candy bars. And if you do, well I\u2019ve got this gun to take care of that.\u201d And suppose you\u2019ve got another neighbor, Principled Peter, who thinks you\u2019re not giving enough money to charity. He thinks you should be giving more money to Oxfam. He hacks into your bank account, takes some of your money out, and gives it to Oxfam on your behalf, and sends you a little email saying, \u201cGood news! Your duties are done. I discharged your duties on your behalf.\u201d And finally suppose that you\u2019ve got another neighbor named Decent Danny who thinks it\u2019s really important that you buy American. I mean you\u2019ve benefit so much from your neighbors and their work and you want to buy a German car. Why should you do that? So when you show up to the dealership, he comes over and says, \u201cYou know I\u2019m willing to let you buy this car but only if you first me say another $3,000 which I\u2019ll then redistribute to various people that are being put out of work in Michigan because of your choice to buy German rather than buy American.\u201d\nNow if your neighbors, Danny, Vani, or Peter did this, you probably call the cops. And the police would in fact show up and would in fact arrest them for doing these things. But there\u2019s a bit of a puzzle here because the police are also helping other people do exactly the same things that Vani, Danny, and Peter want to do. So right now, there are people who will go into your bank account and take some of your money and give it to other people that are poor on your behalf. There are people that think that it\u2019s okay to restrict you from buying things from foreign countries or to tax you for doing so. And there are people that think it\u2019s okay for them to forbid you from consuming sugar and other things that are bad for you. The difference though is it\u2019s not your neighbors; it\u2019s the government.\nSo why is the government allowed to do that if you\u2019re not? I\u2019m not allowed to do that. Your neighbors aren\u2019t allowed to do that. Why is the government allowed to? Why is it the police will help with one group and forbid the other group from doing it? So this is a puzzle. It\u2019s a puzzle that calls for explanation. And in political philosophy, the problem here, the terms we use for this is the problem of political legitimacy and political authority. What allows government to do things that no normal person is permitted to do? So one of the questions of political philosophy is \u201cIs there an explanation for this?\u201d or maybe not. Maybe the answer will turn out to be that government shouldn\u2019t be doing this, we should dispense with government altogether, or its rights should be really restricted.\nThere are a lot of other questions we quit asking too though. So one question is we have speed signs and things like that. Should you obey the law? When you\u2019re told what to do, do you have to actually obey that rule? Another question is \u201cShould we have government in the first place?\u201d Another question is \u201cWhen we\u2019re talking about government, who counts as the governed? Who counts as a fellow citizen?\u201d We\u2019re accustomed to thinking about national borders and thinking like we\u2019re Americans and they\u2019re Canadian, and they\u2019re Mexican but is that right? Is there any reason to divide the world up into nation states the way that we do? When we\u2019re talking about governments, we can ask questions like \u201cWell should we have democracy or something else, some alternative form of government? If we do have democracy, what form should it take?\u201d And also finally, and maybe the most abstract way of putting this is \u201cWhat makes the institutions that we live under good and just? What are the standards by which we evaluate institutions as good or just?\u201d So by institutions, what I mean is the rules of the game that we live under.\nSo you don\u2019t realize it but in our common lives, we\u2019re constantly living under rules most of which are kind of unconscious, and we\u2019re not really paying attention to. We walk around the hallway, we\u2019re not thinking about like consciously thinking about whether we should kill one another or not or take one another\u2019s stuff. We just unconsciously follow a bunch of moral rules. And that\u2019s probably a good thing that we\u2019re doing that but the question is \u201cWhat are the good rules?\u201d So economists like to use the word institution to refer to the rules of the game that structures social life. And if you think about it, a lot of the things that we deal with are just a set of rules. So take the private property like if this is my mug, it\u2019s just a set of rules governing how people can use this and destroy it and modify it. So what counts as good rules with regard to private property? If you think about democracy, democracy is just a set of rules. It\u2019s a set of rules about who gets to make the other rules, it\u2019s a set of rules about who gets to decide certain things; or the institution of marriage is a set of rules about how custody rights will be allocated and how property rights will be allocated among two people, so literally a contract.\nSo what makes institutions good or bad? What political philosophy is trying to do is come up with the ultimate fundamental standards for evaluating institutions as good or bad, just or unjust. So there are a lot of people who look at political philosophy and say, \u201cThis stuff is just high-falutin\u2019 nonsense. I don\u2019t really care about this. I\u2019m a pragmatist and I only care about what works.\u201d But the problem with that is it\u2019s kind of dogmatically saying, \u201cI care about what works.\u201d Well everybody cares about what works. The question is what counts as working. So if you have institutions that help some people and hurt other people, does that count as working? If you have institutions that are making some people free but less equal, does that count as working? If you\u2019ve institutions that make people more equal but less free, does that count as working? These are big, hard moral questions, and just saying you care about what works doesn\u2019t really answer the question for you.\nSo what we\u2019re talking about over the next few sessions are some attempts to answer these questions about what counts as working. But one final bit about this is that at the end of the day, you can\u2019t really evaluate the institutions just with the tools of political philosophy alone. You\u2019re going to need some other tools, the tools of the social sciences, because it\u2019s not enough to have a set of standards about what counts as better and worse, you need to know how the institutions actually function in the real world before you can set a final stance one way or another.\nLiberty: Who Needs It?",

        "raw_content": "CC Diagnostics\nImproving cervical cancer diagnostics.\nIn the western world, 10 million triage tests are performed in cervical cancer screening programs on an annual basis. In Europe, almost one million women are falsely diagnosed with having cervical cancer with the use of today\u2019s available tests. This leads to an annual financial burden of \u20ac360 million per year for the European society and severe psychological distress for the woman. Implementation of the CC Diagnostics\u2019 methylation assay will decrease the number of false positives with 33%. As a result, we will save >\u20ac120 million of annual healthcare cost for the European society and prevent unneeded emotional stress for thousands of women.\nCC Diagnostics collaborates with the research group of the UMCG. During 15 years of research, this group has identified unique tumor-suppressor genes. Small-scale validation of the best combination of genes show, using the methylation assay as a triage test, an 81% specificity and a 50% increase in reproducibility, which outperforms any triage test available, regardless which primary test has been used. CC Diagnostics will, in collaboration with the UMCG, validate this combination in a large-scale study with 3600 samples; results of this study are expected Q4 2019. CC Diagnostics holds an exclusive worldwide license on the patent.\nIn short, CC Diagnostics offers a superior, easily implementable triage test with an unsurpassed specificity and reproducibility, which will decrease the number of misdiagnosed women, decrease healthcare costs, and increase screening participation.\nBesides the UMCG as launching hospital, the four other laboratories in the Netherlands will be targeted for pilot use, followed by Southern European countries with a privatised market and high screening rate (once per year) such as Northern Spain and Northern Italy. Next step will be implementation in national screening programs in Europe, i.e. The Netherlands. To complete clinical validation of the technology and preparing the product and company for its first sales end 2019, CC Diagnostics needs an investment of \u20ac1.15 million. Aiming for a government loan of 320k for the validation study, we plan to raise 830k in the first round. The company aims to reach break-even in 2021 and have a revenue of \u20ac3.6 million in 2022.\nCC Diagnostics was founded in 2016 by Jean-Luc Kraaijenoord, Wisse Krikke, and Nutte van Belzen. In 2017, Arnoud Huisman, an experienced life science expert with a broad network within the industry joined the team. Inventor of the technology and our scientific advisor is Bea Wisman, PhD, with 14 years of experience on this topic.\nArnoud Huisman | a.huisman@cc-diagnostics.com\nNutte van Belzen | n.vanbelzen@cc-diagnostics.com\nwww.cc-diagnostics.com",

        "raw_content": "Sam Sauer | May 11, 2017\nFeatured Manufacturing Project Management Teams\n5 Stats You Need to Know from the 2017 State of Project Management in Manufacturing Report\nIn manufacturing, time is money. Every delay, machinery breakdown, and defective product adds up and, ultimately, hurts the bottom line.\nBut following structured project management methods can help companies reduce delays, stay on budget, and deliver quality products.\nTo better understand how manufacturers practice project management, we surveyed more than 100 executives, engineers, and project managers, resulting in the 2017 State of Project Management in Manufacturing report. It details project stats and methodologies, the lowdown on major challenges, and a look at manufacturers\u2019 plans for cutting costs and building revenue in the coming year.\nTo learn more about the challenges facing manufacturers today, download the free 2017 State of Project Management in Manufacturing report here.\nHere are some of the most interesting highlights from the report:\n1.) More than half of manufacturers use a combination of project management methodologies.\nWaterfall, agile, scrum, critical path\u2014there\u2019s a wide range of project management methodologies, and they\u2019re rarely one size fits all. In fact, 57% of respondents use a combination of methodologies to keep their projects on track. Manufacturing is an industry that\u2019s built on the principle of continuous improvement, and a hybrid approach allows for increased flexibility.\n2.) Those who use a combination of methodologies are also the happiest.\nOf the respondents who said they were highly satisfied with existing PM practices, three-fourths use a combination of methodologies.\n3.) \u201cWork smarter, not harder\u201d could be manufacturers\u2019 motto in 2017.\nSixty-nine percent of respondents said that revenue growth and cost reduction are equally important this year.\n4.) This focus on building revenue while cutting costs is leading many manufacturers to invest in new technologies and solutions.\nAs we move into Industry 4.0, manufacturers need to invest and experiment with new solutions or risk falling behind their competitors. Supply chain management (56%), Lean manufacturing (52%), and cloud computing or SaaS offerings (47%) are the top three technologies manufacturers are looking into this year.\nLearn more about Industry 4.0 in this eBook.\n5.) Deadlines, costs, and communication are the top project management challenges that manufacturers face this year.\nLike many project teams, manufacturers\u2019 cited managing project costs (50%) and hitting deadlines (46%) as their top challenges. Sharing information across teams came in at number three (44%).\nIntrigued? This is just a preview of the insights found in this report.

        "raw_content": "Some projects turn out like you 'see' them in your mind, like the recent quilted Bible bookcover...\n....and some projects do not, like this duffel bag I recently completed for my husband, Tom, who needed a bag to hold his tennis shoes, change of clothes and water bottle for his 2 mile walks after work...\n....poor thing, it looks a little pitiful in these photographs....\nIt is pretty neat in that it is loaded with pockets...\n...one on each side and 2 built-in with the webbing straps...one on the front/one on the back...4 total...\n...a nice sport zipper...\n...the stripes matched up evenly...\nSo what happened.. .why am I not 'loving' this bag...\n....for one....it's huge..it's more like a 'weekender' sized bag than a bag for tennis shoes and change of clothes... I've got 2 full-sized pillows in there to 'shape' it for these photographs!...\n...and the fabric choice...\n...that seemed like a good idea at the time...\n....an outdoor heavy-weight canvas from my stash....\n...turned out way too 'stripey'.....I should've made a trip to the fabric store.\nWhat about the pattern....\n....the pattern was actually quite simple...\n....I just didn't comprehend 'size on paper' vs. 'size completed'....\n....this pattern is for a circle shaped duffel bag and I wanted a square bottom so I made a new template for the design I wanted....which meant I had to change/modify ALL her measurements.... basically re-make the pattern, but follow her instructions...no problem, just took a little more time....\n....it was actually an easy project....\n....from this book \"Made For Travel\" by Mary Mulari....I love this book!\nA little story about how I obtained this book..... our local library had a copy of this book that I could (almost always) count on to be available for me to check out whenever I wanted to use it....but all of a sudden, it was never there any time I stopped in....it had simply vanished.\nOur library system has a book sale each month, of which we've never attended, until this one Sunday afternoon we happened to be in the area and thought it'd be fun to see what the sale was all about...and imagine my surprise to find this book for sale for $1.00!!!! It had been discarded, pulled from circulation and ready to be sold----to me!! I was so happy.\nBack to the duffel bag....I am going to make another....shortening the length considerably.... the width too... but still basically following Mary Mulari's instruction... with my modifications.\nMeanwhile, Tom is using this one and Melissa wants it when his next new one is complete.\nSo I guess it will be used after all. She says she likes it..... !!\nLabels: Bags, Duffel Bag, SEWING | ALL\nAnd you're worried about learning how to quilt??! If you can (basically) make your own pattern for a duffle bag and have it look as good as this one does, I'd say you're one purdy darn good sew-er lady!\nWould you throw something at me if I said I think the striped fabric would be better for a female? (I'm ducking . . . ) Like your daughter, I'd gladly carry it, but maybe a solid color would be better for Tom.\nAll in all though, I think you did a FANTASTIC job on it . . . there's maybe just too much of it. And too jazzy a fabric for a guy. Please don't feel like the Lone Ranger though. Sometimes I wonder where my \"perception\" faculties have gone when something comes out looking totally different than I had imagined it would. Sigh. I think it happens to us all. Double sigh.\nHi Mama Pea ~ one thing I really like about you, is that you give honest feedback. I should've run the striped fabric by you first as my perception was quite askew with this one. Hey, I know, next time I'll send you a swatch first for your opinion, as you are most definitely correct here!! Maybe if I'd made the bag in a solid color and just used the stripes on the pockets... yes, sigh...\nThank you so much for your wonderful comments!! I so much appreciate what you have to say.\n2nd story sewing March 31, 2012 at 8:38 PM\nI have been looking for a new bag to take to the gym! This may be just the one.

        "raw_content": "By Ian Winwood\nIan Winwood\nTwo decades after the Sex Pistols and the Ramones birthed punk music into the world, their artistic heirs burst onto the scene and changed the genre forever. While the punk originators remained underground favorites and were slow burns commercially, their heirs shattered commercial expectations for the genre. In 1994, Green Day and The Offspring each released their third albums, and the results were astounding. Green Day's Dookie went on to sell more than 15 million copies and The Offspring's Smash remains the all-time bestselling album released on an independent label. The times had changed, and so had the music.While many books, articles, and documentaries focus on the rise of punk in the '70s, few spend any substantial time on its resurgence in the '90s. Smash! will be the first to do so, detailing the circumstances surrounding the shift in '90s music culture away from grunge and legitimizing what many first-generation punks regard as post-punk, new wave, and generally anything but true punk music. With astounding access to all the key players of the time, including members of Green Day, The Offspring, NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, and many others, renowned music writer Ian Winwood will at last give this significant, substantive, and compelling story its due. Punk rock bands were never truly successful or indeed truly famous, and that was that--until it wasn't. Smash! is the story of how the underdogs finally won and forever altered the landscape of mainstream music.\nA ROUGH TRADE MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR'Beautifully judged account of the Manchester scene . . . There is something of the fairy tale about Dave Haslam's sage joyful testament to the kind of life that nobody could ever plan, a happy aligning of a cultural moment and a young man who instinctively knew that it was his once upon a time' Victoria Segal, Sunday Times'Witty, sometimes dark, revealing, insightful, everything one could hope for from one of those folk without whom independent music simply wouldn't exist' Classic RockSonic Youth Slept on My Floor is writer and DJ Dave Haslam's wonderfully evocative memoir. It is a masterful insider account of the Hacienda, the rise of Madchester and birth of the rave era, and how music has sound-tracked a life and a generation.In the late 1970s Dave Haslam was a teenage John Peel listener and Joy Division fan, his face pressed against a 'window', looking in at a world of music, books and ideas. Four decades later, he finds himself in the middle of that world, collaborating with New Order on a series of five shows in Manchester. Into the story of those intervening decades, Haslam weaves a definitive portrait of Manchester as a music city and the impact of a number of life-changing events, such as the nightmare of the Yorkshire Ripper to the shock of the Manchester Arena terror attack.The cast of Haslam's life reads like a who's who of '70s, '80s and '90s popular culture: Tony Wilson, Nile Rodgers, Terry Hall, Neneh Cherry, Tracey Thorn, John Lydon, Johnny Marr, Ian Brown, Laurent Garnier and David Byrne. From having Morrissey to tea and meeting writers such as Raymond Carver and Jonathan Franzen to discussing masturbation with Viv Albertine and ecstasy with Roisin Murphy, via having a gun pulled on him at the Hacienda and a drug dealer threatening to slit his throat, this is not your usual memoir.\nSet Your Voice Free (Expanded Edition)\nRoger Love, Donna Frazier\nWhether your goal is to carry a tune, expand your vocal range, or speak with ease and confidence before an audience, Roger Love provides you with exactly the help you need.

There are so many songs I want to record that I will be kept busy for as long as I can keep it up ... It is the people you meet along the road of life who make the travelling easier. No wonder I loved it all.' - Slim DustySlim Dusty was Australia's most well-loved and best known country music performer. A legend in the bush, his famous hit 'A Pub With No Beer' made him a household name in the towns and cities too. This is the story of the life that Slim Dusty and Joy McKean shared for their fifty years of marriage and touring together - their love for each other, their family and their music - and their determination to bring country music to the whole of Australia. Slim died in 2003, but throughout Australia, and around the world, people are still playing his songs and passing them on to new generations of fans. In this updated edition of the classic autobiography, Joy McKean writes about her family's commitment to honouring his memory and their work to keep his name alive. If you love today's Australian country music, this is the story of where it all started. '... just like his lyrics, the prose is perfect. Here he is talking about the early Dusty days. It's just like listening to a bright spark in the bush.' - The Age'Slim blazed the red-dirt trail for Australian singer/songwriters, allowing us to remain unashamedly ourselves.' - Missy Higgins\nA Simple Brazilian Song\nBy James Woodall\nIn 1992, James Woodall was asked to write an article about a Brazilian musician he'd never heard of, called Chico Buarque. He discovered that Buarque was a national hero in his native country and that interviewing him was a bit like a Latin American interviewing Paul McCartney. Woodall fell under Buarque's spell and began an affair with Brazilian pop music which has lasted to this day. His new passion took him to Brazil and in particular to Rio de Janeiro, world capital of Carnival and samba. Over several visits, he met with Chico Buarque, discovered the city's immodest beach culture and took part in Carnival. He met Chico Buarque's great contemporary, Caetano Veloso and other stars. Picking up Portuguese on the hop, he learnt a great deal about Chico Buarque's life and about the strange and dangerous city where he lives. This book is as much a hymn to Rio de Janeiro as it is to the music that beats at its heart.\nThis is the second volume in Clinton Heylin's magisterial survey of the songs of Bob Dylan. The first volume - Revolution in the Air which is now available in paperback - charted the rise of Bob Dylan from his first jottings to the full expression of genius in songs such as 'Hard Rain Gonna Fall' and 'The Times They Are a Changin''. Still on the Road begins in 1974 with \"Blood on the Tracks\", the album filled with masterworks such as 'Tangled Up in Blue' and 'Simple Twist of Fate' that heralded a watershed in Dylan's creative journey, and continues to chart his never-ending fascination with music and the art of song up to 2006's \"Modern Times\". Praise for Revolution in the Air:'Beg, steal, borrow ... a compelling history of Dylan's mercurial song writing.' Mojo, 5-star review'Better than any biography could ever be, and a crucial Dylan book' Jonathan Letham'Valuable resource' Observer'A gripping new book by Dylan scholar Clinton Heylin so is so far in the deep end that its borderline insane . . [yet] has been devoured with a ravenous, insatiable appetite, and I have even made notes in the margin.' Mark Ellen, Word.'Terrifically interesting for Dylan nuts' Sunday Herald'Manna for completists' Metro 'True to form, Heylin digs deep-way deep-into the songs, mixing cold hard facts with illuminating anecdotes.' - Mark Smith, managing editor, Acoustic Guitar\nThe Supremes is a sprawling tale of unforgettable music, cutthroat ambition, and heartbreaking betrayal. Mark Ribowsky explodes Dreamgirl fantasies by taking the reader behind the closed doors of Motown to witness the rise of group leader Diana Ross, the creation of timeless classics like Where Did Our Love Go?,\" and the dramatic power struggles within Detroit's fabled music factory. Drawing on firsthand, intimate recollections from knowledgeable sources such as the Temptations's Otis Williams and other Motown contemporaries,many never before interviewed, The Supremes is a comprehensive look at the tumultuous relationships within the Supremes as well as among others at the Motown label\" ( Library Journal ).\nBy Kevin Crouch, Tanja Crouch\nKevin Crouch, Tanja Crouch\nMusic producer Sam Phillips and his landmark studio, Sun Records, hold a unique place in the history of rock 'n' roll - by many accounts, before Phillips recorded 'Rocket 88' by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats in 1951, rock 'n' roll as we know it didn't even exist. Phillips is simultaneously hailed as the man who discovered Elvis Presley and derided as the man who sold the same artist to RCA for a paltry $35,000. The list of musical legends that passed through the doors of Sun Records is simply astounding, including BB King, Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and more. SUN KING strips away the glossy veneer of legend around the Phillips story - which, like his signature sound, was much the result of his own careful crafting - to reveal a man who, from a very young age, heard a musical sound that no one else heard. Complete with a full Sun Records discography, 'Sun King' is an indispensable document in the history of rock music.\nBy Peter Kobel\nPeter Kobel\nFew people realise the extent to which the Hollywood movie industry today was shaped in the silent era. Drawing on the resources of The Library of Congress, one of the greatest repositories for silent film and associated memorabilia, Peter Kobel explores the fascinating world of silent film, from its birth in the 1890s, with the earliest narrative shorts, through the full-length features of the Twenties and puts directors, actors and their films into a broad historical perspective. The book also looks at the technology of early film, the use of colour photography and the restoration work being spearheaded by some of Hollywood's most important director such as Scorcese and Francis Ford Coppola. Lavishly illustrated by the Library of Congress's extensive collection of posters, paper prints, film stills and other memorabilia, most of which has never been in print, SILENT MOVIES will take its place as the defining work on this most important and fascinating aspect of American culture.\nIn 1978, Greil Marcus asked twenty writers on rock-including Dave Marsh, Lester Bangs, Nick Tosches, Ellen Willis, and Robert Christgau-a question: What one rock-and-roll album would you take to a desert island? The resulting essays were collected in Stranded , twenty passionate declarations to such albums as The Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet , the Ramones' Rocket to Russia , Something Else by the Kinks, and more. Universally revered as the ur-text of rock journalism, Stranded is an indispensable classic.\nBy Andy Gill, Kevin Odegard\nAndy Gill, Kevin Odegard\nIn 1974 Bob Dylan wrote, recorded, reconsidered, and then re-recorded the best-selling studio album of his career. Blood on the Tracks was composed as Dylan's twelve-year marriage began to unravel, and songs like \"Tangled Up in Blue\" and \"Shelter from the Storm\" have become templates for multidimensional, adult songs of love and loss. Yet the story behind the creation of this album has never been fully told even the credits on the present-day album sleeve are inaccurate. Dylan recorded the album twice-once in New York City and again in Minneapolis, with a rag-tag gang of local musicians, quickly rewriting many of the songs in the process. For A Simple Twist of Fate , the authors have interviewed the musicians and producers, industry insiders, and others, creating an engaging chronicle of how one musician channeled his pain and confusion into great art.\nThis expanded fourth edition of Songwriters on Songwriting includes ten new interviews- with Alanis Morissette, Lenny Kravitz, Lou Reed, and others. In these pages, sixty-two of the greatest songwriters of our time go straight to the source of the magic of songwriting by offering their thoughts, feelings, and opinions on their art. Representing almost every genre of popular music, from blues to pop to rock, here are the figures that have shaped American music as we know it.\nSongwriters Notebk\nBy Running Press Adult\nThis practical journal is ideal for lyricists who want to record their creations in one place. It's a notebook for songwriters to call their own, uniquely designed with beautifully illustrated cover, high-quality paper, user-friendly worksheet pages, boxes and lines for verses and chords, and more than 50 inspirational quotes from a variety of famous musicians and music lovers. Makes a great companion to our Muscian's Notebook!\nGary Giddins has been called \"the best jazz writer in America today\" ( Esquire ). Louis Armstrong has been called the most influential jazz musician of the century. Together this auspicious pairing has resulted in Satchmo, one of the most vivid and fascinating portraits ever drawn of perhaps the greatest figure in the history of American music. Available now at a new price, this text-only edition is the authoritative introduction to Armstrong's life and art for the curious newcomer, and offers fresh insight even for the serious student of Pops.\nBy John Chilton\nFifty years after hearing Sidney Bechet (1897-1959) in 1923, Duke Ellington recalled, \"I have never forgotten the power and imagination with which he played.\" The first great jazz soloist, Bechet was a genius of the clarinet and the notoriously difficult soprano saxophone. In a career that spanned five decades and two continents he worked with Bunk Johnson, King Oliver, Duke Ellington, Josephine Baker, Jelly Roll Morton, and Louis Armstrong. He was a giant in early New Orleans jazz and a pioneer of improvisation whose contribution to the music, from the traditional to the avant-garde, has been a vital and lasting one. This biography reveals with insight and precision the man and his music, and illuminates the many events obscured by Bechet's own highly readable but factually suspect autobiography, Treat It Gentle.\nSarah Vaughan possessed the most spectacular voice in jazz history. In Sassy , Leslie Gourse, the acclaimed biographer of Nat King Cole and Joe Williams, defines and celebrates Vaughan's vital musical legacy and offers a detailed portrait of the woman as well as the singer. Revealed here is \"The Divine One\" as only her closest friends and musical associates knew her. By her early twenties Sarah Vaughan was singining with Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Billy Eckstine, helping them invent bebop. For forty-five years thereafter, she reigned supreme in both pop and jazz, with several million-selling hits (among them \"Broken Hearted Melody,\" \"Make Yourself Comfortable,\" and \"Misty\").But life offstage was never smooth for Sarah Vaughan. Her voluptuous voice was matched by her exuberant appetite for excess: three failed marriages, financial difficulties through many changes in management, late-night jam sessions, liquor, and cocaine. In Sassy , though, we also see the feisty and unpretentious woman who worked hard all her life to support her parents and adopted daughter, and who came to savour the hard-won independence and worldwide acclaim she achieved as the greatest jazz singer of her generation.\nThe first autobiography of a jazz musician, Louis Armstrong's Swing That Music is a milestone in jazz literature. Armstrong wrote most of the biographical material, which is of a different nature and scope than that of his other, later autobiography, Satchmo: My Life in New Orleans (also published by Da Capo/Perseus Books Group). Satchmo covers in intimate detail Armstrong's life until his 1922 move to Chicago but Swing That Music also covers his days on Chicago's South Side with \"King\" Oliver, his courtship and marriage to Lil Hardin, his 1929 move to New York, the formation of his own band, his European tours, and his international success. One of the most earnest justifications ever written for the new style of music then called \"swing\" but more broadly referred to as \"Jazz,\" Swing That Music is a biography, a history, and an entertainment that really \"swings.\"\nScreening The Blues\nThe noted blues scholar Paul Oliver here examines the many different skeins of the blues form, relating them to other black traditions - musical and religious - and tracing the origin of the blues through the dense, many-coloured warp and weft of influences and inspiration. He describes \"the dozens,\" Christmas rituals, and the coded (as well as blatant) sexual imagery that has always been a vital element of every popular song tradition. With extensive source notes, photographs, a discography, and two indexes of song titles and singers, this book serves as a sound, serious, and entertaining guide to the blues heritage that has vitalized so much of the world's musical culture.\n\"In all my whole career the Brick House was one of the toughest joints I ever played in. It was the honky-tonk where levee workers would congregate every Saturday night and trade with the gals who'd stroll up and down the floor and the bar. Those guys would drink and fight one another like circle saws. Bottles would come flying over the bandstand like crazy, and there was lots of just plain common shooting and cutting. But somehow all that jive didn't faze me at all, I was so happy to have some place to blow my horn.\" So says Louis Armstrong, a tough kid who just happened to be a musical genius, about one of the places where he performed and grew up. This raucous, rich tale of his early days in New Orleans concludes with his departure to Chicago at twenty-one to play with his boyhood idol King Oliver, and tells the story of a life that began, mythically, on July 4, 1900, in the city that sowed the seeds of jazz.\nBy Michael Haralambos",

        "raw_content": "01.02.2012 > Looking at the social networks of unemployed people in Vaud\nLooking at the social networks of unemployed people in Vaud\nA questionnaire will be distributed to 5000 people looking for work during the months of February and March 2012, first step in an analysis of the impact of links with the human environment in access to employment. A project of the NCCR LIVES, hosted by the Universities of Lausanne and Geneva.\nAs from February 1st, 2012, and for two months, the newly unemployed people following the collective briefing on the unemployment insurance of Canton de Vaud (a meeting named \u201cSICORP\u201d, gateway to accessing the unemployment benefits), will receive a questionnaire of ten pages with multiple choice questions about their social network at large (parents, friends, neighbors, former colleagues, community associations, etc.). Participants will have twenty minutes to complete this survey related to the NCCR LIVES individual project (IP) No 4, directed by Professor Jean-Marc Falter, entitled Economic inequalities: Towards pathways out of vulnerabilityy.\nDuring the next twelve months, people having found a new job will receive a second questionnaire. Those who are still unemployed after one year will receive a third type of form at the end of these twelve months, step considered as the transition to long-term unemployment.\nLed by doctoral students Anna Von Ow and Nicolas Turtschi with post-doc Patrick Arni under the guidance of professors Giuliano Bonoli, Rafael Lalive and Daniel Oesch, such a survey on social networks and access to employment has never been done yet in Switzerland. \"To our knowledge, only four studies were conducted in the world on the subject, but in different contexts,\" says Nicolas Turtschi, who holds a master's degree in social sciences.\nThe power of close relationships\nThe project is a continuation of the theory of Mark Granovetter on the strength of weak ties. In the early 70's, the latter argued that the distant network of a person - weak links - better than the closest - strong links \u2013 give better access to the flow of information, necessary process in reaching employment. Indeed, the usual circle of relationships does generally not bring new useful information. This theory is now called into question because it is believed that the group of intimates has other functions: it will be easier for example to be recommended by a relative than by a vague acquaintance.\nThe first data collected in the survey will be coded quickly, with the participation of two students from the IDHEAP and analyzed in conjunction with the results of the other two questionnaires. In parallel, Nicolas Turtschi will conduct qualitative interviews with about forty people suffering from the greatest obstacles to employment integration (age, education level, migration patterns, etc.).\nFinally, a test will be conducted on the impact of information on the activation of social networks. Half of the hundred SICORP conducted in February and March will offer an awareness module given by the advisors of the regional employment offices (ORP). It will be possible to compare the results of those encouraged to mobilize their communities with those of the unemployed who have not had this type of incentive. This measure is of great interest to the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), which funds a part of the project.\nThe State of Canton de Vaud was another valuable ally of the research. \"We have excellent contacts with the Employment Service, who supported us, and with the nearly 60 ORP counselors involved throughout the territory, whom we met in January for a half day. They were extremely motivated and positive\", says Nicolas Turtschi.",

        "raw_content": "Title Loans auburndale, Florida\nAs the world and the nation gets back on a stable financial footing, economic conditions in the great state of Florida are improving as well. That being said, things are often still fiscally difficult for many individuals and families. This is because the job situation is less than satisfactory for many people, with low wages and job insecurity being the order of the day. To make matters worse, everyone must face the pressures and calamities that everyday life throws at them. These issues can include unexpected unemployment, foreclosures, severe injuries, divorce, chronic illnesses, and even deaths in the family.\nIn many cases these problems may be unavoidable, but the shocks can often be mitigated with the help of a little extra cash flow. Unfortunately, the regular banking system is not set up to help the average person through their time of need, with red tape and strict regulations making it nearly impossible for anyone without stellar credit to get a loan. To make matters worse, even those who enjoy a good credit rating may find it unreasonably difficult to obtain a timely loan.\nThe good news is, all is not lost. A way out of sudden financial disaster exists, and it is known as a car title loan.

If your car is somewhat valuable, you may be able to borrow a significant amount more than you could borrow with a payday loan.

This number is usually a portion of the overall value of your car.\nTo finalize the loan process, a Loan Cheetah representative will be in contact you to discuss the many details, including when your repayment schedule will begin and what kind of interest will be attached to the loan. Once everything is agreed upon, you will receive your cash.\nThe Legal Details of Title Loans\nTitle loans can help you get out of debt quickly and easily, but it is also important to remember that a title loan is still a loan. If you are unable to make the payments on your title loan, you could find yourself falling back into the debt you were so desperately trying to crawl out of.\nYou will be expected to uphold your end of the loan deal, meaning you should meet your payment due dates to the best of your ability. If you are unable to make each payment, the interest will continue to accumulate and your provider may even decide to increase the level of interest to push you to meet more payments.\nIn the event that you cannot make any of the loan payments and you need to default on your loan, your loan provider holds the right to ownership of your vehicle. They are allowed to repossess or sell the car, truck, or motorcycle in order to cover the cost of the debt if they see fit.",

        "raw_content": "Separation, divorce, custody, payment of or receipt of child support, and the many other issues which flow from a relationship or marriage are emotionally charged issues which can cloud one\u2019s ability to be objective. It is in your best interest to seek out the services of an attorney and learn about your rights and obligations.\nIf there are children involved, the two of you will need to decide who will be the primary custodial parent once you separate. The next question to address is child support. Often, the party paying child support feels that the money he/she pays for the children is not used for the children, but is used by the custodial parent for his/her own expenses. Each of you needs to be realistic as to how much it costs to house, feed, clothe and care for the children.\nIt is more difficult to support two households than one. The custodial parent (payee) relies on receiving child support each week to meet expenses. The non-custodial parent (payor) often finds it difficult to meet the support obligation and to cover his/her own living expenses as well.\nProblems often arise when the payor loses or quits his/her job or when the payee refuses to allow the payor to see the children because the support payments are late or not being made. Each of the parties involved needs to think what is best for the children.\nParenting time is another issue which creates problems between parents. The custodial parent may say that the children do not want to visit the other parent or say that the noncustodial parent does not exercise his/her visitation with the children. Whether or not there is a court order in effect setting out a visitation or parenting schedule, it is the obligation of both parents to exercise his/her parenting time and to encourage the children to see the other parent. If there is a court order in effect, each of you is obligated to comply with the court order and explain to the children that they need to see the other parent. Of course, if you are concerned about abuse or neglect, you should contact your attorney immediately to determine what steps should be taken to protect the children.\nNeither party should dictate to the other what he/she is going to do in a situation. Instead, there needs to be a give and take when it comes to working out many of the problems which arise when there is a separation or divorce. There will be times when you may need to change the day of a scheduled visitation or will want additional time with the kids. If you have shown flexibility in the past, it may benefit you when you need it most.",

        "title": "The First Protestant: A play for our time - Photo 1 of 3 - Longford Leader",
        "raw_content": "The First Protestant: A play for our time\nPlaywright Gerry Farrell draws on his own experiences for 'The First Protestant'\nGerry Farrell as the anaylst and Michael Roper is Martin Luther in 'The First Protestant'.\nMichael Roper is larger than life as Martin Luther.\nPlaywright Gerry Farrell and Michael Roper who plays Luther with Charlie McGettigan on a visit to Longford last weekend.\nWhen playwright and actor Gerry Farrell thought about writing a play he did what many playwrights do: drew from his own personal experience.\nA psychotherapist for the last 41 years, he also holds a deep love of the arts. Passionate, too, about history, he is often found head down devouring historical biographies.\nIt was here he was to renew an acquaintance with the formidable and, some might say, controversial historical figure, Martin Luther, resulting in the birth of 'The First Protestant'.\nLuther made a stand against the Christian church of the time, an overwhelmingly powerful institution, which forced the split we see today.\nIt was a play in many ways desperate to come out. Fascinated by the man, Farrell caught the bug and was to read every pamphlet that Luther wrote. He was well and truly hooked.\nThis was in spite of the memory of the voices that he heard from the brothers in his old De La Salle School to his 9-year-old self as he recalls what he was told.\n\u201cIf I went into a Protestant Church I was going to hell,\u201d he laughs. But decades on, it was to turn out to be worth the potential wrath of the brothers.\nHis play 'The First Protestant' on its last outing gained standing ovations and hugely positive feedback. So much so that Spl\u00f3dar theatre who produce the play has decided to bring it back on the road playing The Dock Theatre in Carrick-on-Shannon on January 18 before heading to Dublin's Smock Alley Theatre from January 23 to 26.\nFarrell says that people with moral courage have always intrigued him: \u201cThere are people throughout history who actually believe in the truth and put their lives on the line for that truth.\u201d\nThere\u2019s a glimpse of that courage perhaps in some of the whistle blowers of today he believes.\nThe success of the play for many is Farrell\u2019s unique interpretation of Luther feeding from his work as a psychotherapist.\nWhat kind of man goes up against such odds? \u201cWas he saintly or psychotic?\u201d he adds.\n\u201cWhat would it be like if Martin Luther came into me and said I have awful anxiety?\u201d says Farrell.\nThe play, develops the story of Luther through a psychological dual between the pious monk Martin Luther and the atheist 'Analyst' who is loosely based on Freud.\nLuther\u2019s life, both the man and the psychoanalytical process, and some may say its willingness to label is up for inspection.\nLuther had rebelled before against his father who wished him to marry, turning his back instead to become a monk. Had he a 'father' and later maybe a \u2018martyr' complex?\nThere is humour and much of that comes from the contrasting styles and banter between the two men. There is also a development of the characters throughout the play and their power differential. \u201cThat\u2019s the stuff of drama!\u201d laughs Farrell.\nFor whatever reason, Luther was driven to rebel against what he saw as the bad practices of the church. He led opposition to the selling of indulgences to the poor, a practice some would say was exploiting a poorer congregation to feel they could buy their own and their families way from purgatory into heaven, but was no more than a tax that helped fund the extravagant wealth of the church.\n\u201cLuther spoke up and said it was wrong,\u201d says Farrell.\nHe advocated that 'faith alone' was the pathway to heaven, not indulgences. But this was such a radical position, Luther risked bringing down not just the church but also the status quo and Pope Leo X's plans to rebuild St Peter's, financed through the sale of those same indulgences.\n\u201cHe saw abuses and he wasn\u2019t going to stay quiet,\u201d says Farrell.\nIf this sounds familiar, it is that the play illuminates and strikes a deep chord with rich parallels drawn from the 16th Century resonating today.\n\u201cThe church was more interested in itself as an institution rather than the truth and what its primary function was, and the Christian message,\u201d says Farrell. Food for thought indeed.\nIt\u2019s not surprising that it has been referred to as a \u201cplay for our times\u201d.\nThe similarity between the time of Luther and twenty first century Europe doesn\u2019t stop there.\nLuther was able to rouse and mobilise, aided by the printing press, which revolutionised the speed of communication and the culture of pamphlets where literally anyone could publish an opinion - the Internet and social media of their day.\nThere was a banking collapse too, not unlike our recent one. German Banks insisted on getting their money back from what they lent to the church diocese.\nFunds that could no longer be raised from indulgences went instead to rents, causing brutal austerity for peasants and social unrest.\nThey had the Holy Roman Empire. Today, we have the EU based on the treaty of Rome. There was a fear of the Holy Roman Empire breaking up. We have the threat of Brexit now looming large.\nEurope of the sixteenth century had a huge fear too of an Ottoman Empire determined to spread a radical Islam through Jihad. Similar too to today with\u201ca fear of Islamic State with its brand of Radical Islam and its terrorist Jihad\u201d, says Farrell.\nThe play coming from the border counties also inspired a discussion event around its themes in the Glens Centre, Leitrim where the playwright spoke on a panel organised by a cross border project \u201cAcross the lines\u201d based in Manorhamiliton.\nThe cross community program funded by the International Fund for Ireland builds on cross border connections and works with partner arts and community organisations in North Leitrim and Fermanagh.\nReturning to the playwright Gerry Farrell, is he looking forward to getting out on the road with his play?\nIt\u2019s obvious he\u2019s delighted that his writing and history can make an impact in everyday life. He recalls warmly how on his last outing he was stopped on the street by a local shop keeper opposite the theatre who was keen to share with him how \u201cno play that she saw had roused so much discussion for weeks in the butchers!\u201d Strong praise indeed.\nThe First Protestant stars Michael Roper and Gerry Farrell, directed by Prin Duignan. It will play the Dock Theatre Carrick-on-Shannon January 18 and Smock Alley Theatre Dublin from January 23 to 26.\nTickets can be got online or by phoning the box office at theatres.",

They\u2019ll play as a team and a team ethic carries you a long way.\n\u201cThey\u2019ve grown as a club on team ethic and don\u2019t have too many star individuals, which isn\u2019t knocking their players as they\u2019ve got some good players.\n\u201cEllison\u2019s always a handful, always, always causes a problem.

        "raw_content": "Most of you might know by now that in the past 18 months or so, cancer has touched our lives four times!\nMy husband\u2019s mom\u2013Lynn\u2013died October 24th, 2011 of cancer. If you\u2019ve been following this blog or any of my writing journey, you know that Lynn was very near and dear to my heart. So close that she is the reason I took Lynn as my pen name! Even called her Mom II.\nMy husband\u2019s childhood friend, Jeremy, lost his mother to cancer in July 2011.\nMy dear friend, Sandy, was diagnosed with cancer in November 2011 and is fighting hard to beat it.\nMy Mum (stepmom) was diagnosed with cancer May 2012.\nAll of this prompted us to start AZ Pain Train. Our first event is Ragbrai (Bike across Iowa). We EXCEEDED our $2,000 goal. Thank you so very much.\nBut the reason for today\u2019s post is\u2026.\nI\u2019ve talked in the past about how I believe all things happen for a reason. I fully trust in God\u2019s plan for everything, even the bad stuff that happen. While it\u2019s difficult going through, I always grow during tough times.\nMy eyes are opened. Revelations are made.\nAnd with all this cancer around me, I wanted to know what I could do to try and help. So, as I mentioned earlier, my sweet hubby and I formed the AZ Pain Train, but I wanted to try and do more.\nBut what? How?\nAnd then I got to thinking (I know that\u2019s a scary thought sometimes, but hang with me\u2026.)\nI write a lot. Heck, I\u2019ve penned twenty-six novels. Six are spoken for with CMP, and I\u2019ve not really shopped around many of the others. I\u2019ll be jumping into the self-publishing pool in the near future with some of my novels.\nWith that said, it\u2019s pretty safe to assume writing is a HUGE part of my life, and I wanted to see how I could use that to help in this fight against cancer.\nSo, starting today, July 1st, 2012, I will be donating a portion of my proceeds from book sales to the American Cancer Society. That\u2019s all my books, the ones out now and those to come in the future.\nI know it\u2019s only a small part in a vast issue, but I figure every bit helps.\nDo you guys have a cause you\u2019ve partnered up with? Something close to your heart that you support? I\u2019d love to hear your story!\nThis entry was posted in Cancer and tagged American Cancer Society, Cancer, Cancer SUCKS by Lynn Rush.

Cancer is a terrible disease. I\u2019m going through something similar right now. My family has a history of cancer \u2013 my mom lost a lung to it 12 years ago but thankfully is still with us. My sister was just diagnosed with skin cancer 2 weeks ago (her 3rd cancer \u2013 she\u2019s had uterine cancer and non-hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma and she\u2019s not even 40 yet!) and will need surgery. Sadly the cancer is on her face, so she\u2019ll have scars from it and it\u2019s really getting her down. My uncle was also just diagnosed the same week with throat cancer (I had a cousin die of it a year ago) but thankfully they caught it early and he\u2019s already started treatment and all looks good.\nI think its amazing that you\u2019re being so active in the fight. I pray that everyone who is fighting cancer beats it and that they find a way to eradicate cancer entirely in the future. But for now, we have heroes like you. Thank you!\nVictoria-writes on July 1, 2012 at 2:11 am said:\nSo sorry to hear about all those close to you but I think it\u2019s so inspiring that you\u2019re doing something positive!",

        "title": "Opportunity Zone Funds - An Exciting New Tax Incentive Investment Program \u2014 MAPLE - The Canadian-U.S. Business Council of Southern California",
        "raw_content": "Opportunity Zone Funds - An Exciting New Tax Incentive Investment Program\nBy Garth Stevens and Marc Schultz*\nThe Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed in 2017 created as a new federal income tax incentive program, the opportunity zone program, located in Section 1400Z-1 and Section 1400Z-2 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. In just the past few weeks, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS issued much anticipated guidance on many important aspects of the opportunity zone program, which has now moved investors\u2019 and other business stakeholders\u2019 interest in opportunity funds into high gear.\nThe opportunity zone program is designed to encourage private capital investment in qualified \u201copportunity zones,\u201d which are designated census tracts throughout the United States that qualify as low-income communities. Opportunity zones have now been designated in almost all states, including California. Various parts of Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties and much of greater San Diego incorporate designated opportunity zones (among many other parts of the state).\nThe opportunity zone program provides investors with significant tax benefits for investing in opportunity zones, provided that such investments are made through qualified opportunity funds, which serve as intermediaries between the investors and the particular opportunity zone investments.\nAn opportunity fund is an investment vehicle that has been organized as either a corporation or a partnership (typically formed as a limited partnership or a multi-member limited liability company), has undergone (or will timely undergo) the requisite certification process, and holds at least 90% of its assets in qualified \u201copportunity zone property\u201d (as further discussed below). Certification is a self-certification process whereby the opportunity fund attaches IRS Form 8996 to its federal income tax return for the tax year in which the fund first elects to be an opportunity fund and to its federal income tax return for each subsequent tax year. An opportunity fund may be formed to invest in a single project, such as a real estate development or in a qualified entity. However, the opportunity fund may also be formed to invest in multiple different investments.\nAs noted above, an opportunity fund is required to hold at least 90% of its assets in \u201copportunity zone property\u201d (described below). An opportunity fund holds opportunity zone property either by directly holding \u201copportunity zone business property\u201d or by holding stock (treated as equity) or partnership interests in a domestic corporation or partnership, where such stock or partnership interest is issued to the opportunity fund after Dec. 31, 2017, in exchange for cash, as long as such entity is a qualified \u201copportunity zone business\u201d (described below) on certain testing dates.\nIn general (and subject to certain other qualifications not mentioned here), an \u201copportunity zone business\u201d is an entity engaged in a trade or business in which substantially all (at least 70%) of its tangible property owned or leased is opportunity zone business property, and where such entity derives at least 50% of its gross income from the active conduct of a trade or business in an opportunity zone. \u201cOpportunity zone business property\u201d is tangible property used in a trade or business of the opportunity zone business or opportunity fund (as the case may be) that was acquired by the opportunity zone business or opportunity fund (as the case may be) by purchase from an unrelated person after Dec. 31, 2017 and that meets other certain requirements.\nTax Benefits to Opportunity Fund Investors\nThe opportunity zone program provides three principal benefits to taxpayers who invest in opportunity funds. The first principal benefit is that a taxpayer (by making an election) may defer any taxable capital gain (short term or long term) arising from a prior sale transaction (e.g., a sale of a company or business, or a division thereof, real property or other assets), where the purchaser in such transaction was an unrelated person, by investing all or a portion of such taxable capital gain in an opportunity fund within 180 days after the date of the sale. The amount of the taxable capital gain that is deferred by the taxpayer is equal to the amount that the taxpayer invests in the opportunity fund.\nThe deferred gain (i.e., the amount the taxpayer invests in the opportunity fund) is required to be included in the taxpayer\u2019s income for tax purposes upon the earlier of (a) the date that the taxpayer sells or exchanges his interest in the opportunity fund or on which the opportunity fund liquidates, or (b) Dec. 31, 2026. However, the second principal benefit of the opportunity zone program is that if the taxpayer holds his investment in the opportunity fund for at least five years prior to the date on which the taxpayer is required to include the deferred gain that the taxpayer invested in the opportunity fund in his income for tax purposes (as noted in the prior sentence), the amount of the deferred gain to be included in the taxpayer\u2019s income will be effectively reduced by 10%; and if the taxpayer holds his investment in the opportunity fund for at least seven years prior to the date on which the taxpayer is required to include the deferred gain that the taxpayer invested in the opportunity fund in his income for tax purposes, the amount of the deferred gain to be included in the taxpayer\u2019s income will be effectively reduced by an additional 5%.\nIn short, not only can an opportunity fund investor defer paying federal income tax on capital gain from a sale transaction for potentially many years, the amount of capital gain subject to tax, once due, can be reduced by up to 15%. Such gain, when finally taxed, will likely be subject to the investor\u2019s income tax rate in effect at the time such tax is required to be paid. Therefore, when considering an investment in an opportunity fund, thought should be given as to the potential risk of income tax rates rising between the time of making such an investment and the end of the deferral period when the investor is required to pay tax on the original deferred gain.\nThe third principal benefit of the opportunity zone program is where the taxpayer holds an interest in the opportunity fund for at least 10 years. In such a case, the taxpayer may make an election to increase the tax basis of his investment in the opportunity fund to the investment\u2019s fair market value on the date of a sale of such interest, thereby eliminating any taxable gain on the appreciation of the taxpayer\u2019s investment in the opportunity fund. This is where much of the excitement in the opportunity zone program has been generated because this benefit permits the taxpayer to continue to obtain tax-free appreciation on his opportunity fund investment as long as the taxpayer disposes of such investment on or before December 31, 2047.\nBecause the above-noted tax benefits are U.S. federal income tax benefits, they should be available to all eligible taxpayers who are subject to U.S. federal income tax and generate capital gains sourced in the U.S., including Canadians who have taxable capital gain from the sale of a company, business, real property or other capital assets in the U.S. (Canadians, as well as other non-U.S. persons should nevertheless consult with their own tax advisors as to how these tax benefits and other aspects of the opportunity zone program may be treated under the tax laws for their own jurisdiction).\nThe opportunity zone program is an exciting new tax incentive program that aims to promote capital investment in economically disadvantaged communities in the U.S. by offering substantial federal income tax benefits to opportunity fund investors. This article touches only on a few key aspects of the opportunity zone program. The program is subject to many other pertinent details, rules and limitations, as well as continuing development by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS of further regulations and related guidance. As such, this article should not be construed as a complete discussion of the opportunity zone program. Persons interested in learning more about the program can contact the authors through the email addresses noted below.\nGarth D.

Schultz (mschultz@swalw.com) is a federal tax partner at Snell & Wilmer L.L.P.

        "title": "A Mother's Faith, a Son's Conversion | Marians of the Immaculate Conception",
        "raw_content": "A Mother's Faith, a Son's Conversion\nOn the day of his priestly ordination, Fr. Donald gives thanks to his mother.\nEven though the Church's Year for Priests is over, we are continually called to pray for and remember those whom our Lord has called to be His representatives on earth. We continue our series of conversations with the mothers of Marian priests, with Mrs. LaChita Calloway, the mother of Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, the Marians' vocation director. Father Donald has spent the last several years traveling and speaking about his amazing conversion from run-away teen to Marian priest.\nBy Sarah Chichester\nAs I read Fr. Donald's book, No Turning Back: A Witness to Mercy, I kept wondering about his mom. The teenage Donald Calloway was a defiant runaway who abused drugs, was promiscuous, was jailed, was thrown out of a foreign country. ... In other words, he was a mess. During those painful years, how did his mother cope? How much longer would she keep taking him back?\nJust recently, Fr. Donald shared with me that in those tumultuous years as his mother drew strength from her new Catholic faith, he actually got worse. He writes about this in his book:\nDuring my Deadhead phase, I often found myself in the unfortunate position of having no money and no place to stay. Sometimes there was simply no one available that I could \"use\" for food and shelter. In that situation, I had no choice but to return home, just so I'd have something to eat and a place to sleep. Somehow, my parents always found it in themselves to take me back, although they were usually furious with me for running off, and rightly so. But I never could stand being home for long. The minute I lined up a new place to stay or a friend to bum around with, I would be back out on the road.\nIt was during one of those brief stays at home that my mother approached me and said, \"Donnie, why don't you go to church with us?\" I just looked at her with my usual blank stare and replied, \"Are you nuts? Have you completely lost your mind? Me, go to church? No way. Church is for the weak. It's for the losers who are looking for some false hope when there is none. Church is a joke and a lie. I can't believe you and Dad have been suckered into believing this nonsense.\"\nThe truth is, I wasn't interested in any organized religion. The Grateful Dead was my religion. The Deadheads were my family, and Jerry Garcia was my leader. I didn't need anything else.\nTo this day, I'm amazed and humbled that even though I had for all practical purposes renounced my parents and wouldn't stay at home unless I absolutely had to, my mom and dad didn't stop providing for me.\nCountless people who have read his book have been moved by Fr. Donald's parents and the continual forgiveness they extended to their son. Even when he was clearly just using them for shelter and food, they never lost hope that someday, that seemingly ever-distance, illusive \"someday,\" Fr. Don would change.\nTheirs was not an empty hope; it was a hope grounded in the mercy of God, and in the intercession of the Blessed Mother and the saints; it was a hope grounded in the truth of God's omnipotence, in His power to heal a wounded heart and bring a druggie/hippie/slacker to Himself (and eventually to the divinely instituted priesthood).\nTheirs was also a hope that was tried through suffering.\nWhen their family moved to Norfolk, Va., Mr. Calloway's position in the Navy called him to sea for many months, leaving Fr. Donald's mom at home with her sons \u2014 Donald and his younger brother Matthew. Mrs. Calloway continually turned to the Lord and Our Lady for help in the face of her trials.\n\"I'm just like so many other moms,\" she said in a recent interview. \"I remember missing my husband a lot and crying myself to sleep, always asking Jesus, Our Blessed Mother Mary, and St. Joseph to keep my children and our family safe and under their loving guidance and protection every night before I closed my eyes, a practice I continue to this day.\"\nYet, she is quick to add that her family persevered together: \"I honestly would be remiss if I did not include my whole family when speaking about God's mercy and Our Lady's intercession. We hung in there, stuck it out together, prayed a lot, practiced our faith, and trusted.\"\nTheir trust was not in vain. One night in March 1992, Donald was hit with what he calls a \"Divine 2x4.\" In an uncharacteristic move, he declined overtures from his friends to go out partying, deciding to stay in his room instead. But after a while the stillness drove him to seek distraction. He perused a hallway bookshelf, where he grabbed a book that changed his life: The Queen of Peace Visits Medjugorie.\nHe began to flip through it behind his locked bedroom door (it being a book about religion, after all). It was full of foreign-sounding words like \"Eucharist,\" \"Blessed Virgin Mary,\" \"Rosary,\" and \"scapular.\" Something about this \"Blessed Virgin\" intrigued him, as did her message that she was sent by God as a mother to all, especially to sinners.\nHe also found a card in the book that read, \"You don't have to change to love me; loving me will change you.\" And it did. He fell in love with this heavenly mother who captivated him with her love and her tenderness. He writes:\nAs I read, I knew I had to give myself to this thing Mary called \"church.\" She always seemed to be leading or pointing towards it. I always imagined church as being oppressive, something that dominated your life and sucked all the fun out of life. I believed that was the role of the Church, so naturally I hated church, just like I hated Jesus. But if I was going to surrender to Mary, I had to believe her and give myself to Jesus and the Church. And even though I didn't verbalize it or speak it internally, somehow I knew I had to surrender to this Blessed Virgin Mary. She would help me to understand the real Jesus, the Jesus whom I never knew.\nEarly in the morning, when I closed the book, I said, \"The message in this book is life-changing. I have never ever heard anything so amazing and convincing and so needed in my life.\" One might say that this was my first prayer. Whoever this Virgin Mary was, I believed what she was saying \u2014 that she was my mother and came from heaven for me.\nIt was around 5:30 in the morning when I finally closed The Queen of Peace Visits Medjugorje. Knowing that my mother would soon be coming downstairs for her morning coffee, I made the decision to stay awake until I could talk to her. Not that there was a chance I could go to sleep. My mind was racing with all that I had read and felt. When I heard her rustling around upstairs, I went to the bottom of the stairwell to meet her.\nAs soon as she came down the stairs, I said, \"Mom, I've got to talk to a ... .\" My voice trailed off. I couldn't say it. I was like pride incarnate. I simply could not make myself say the words. Again, I said, \"Mom, I've got to talk to a Cath ... .\" I just could not say it. I could not get the words out. It was like the ultimate humiliation, a sign of need, and a religious one at that.\nMy mom looked at me quizzically and said, \"Donnie, what are you trying to tell me?\"\nFinally, I blurted out, \"Look, Mom, I have to talk to a Catholic priest, okay?\" I remember feeling so humiliated. I couldn't believe I just said those words. I felt like the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz after Dorothy splashed water on her.\nIn my mind, I started shrinking. I suddenly felt very small.\nMy mom's response? \"Yeah, right,\" she said, as she brushed by me on the way to the kitchen. God bless her. She probably assumed I was trying to manipulate her. It was certainly a reasonable response, considering my long history of lies and deceit.\nBut this time I was serious. I said, \"No, Mom. You don't understand. I read a book last night. That book is tripping me out!\"\n\"Which book?\" she said, raising an eyebrow at me.\nI quickly retrieved The Queen of Peace from my room and asked her point blank: \"Who is this Blessed Virgin Mary? What is this all about?\"\nAt that point, my mom's jaw just about hit the floor. She didn't say another word. She ran to the phone in the living room and began dialing. I overheard snippets of a conversation between her and a priest, one who she had apparently awakened.\nShe said, \"Yes, Father ... . I know ... . I apologize. I didn't mean to wake you. But you have to talk to my son. Can I bring my son over in a half an hour? She must have met resistance because she continued pleading, \"Father, you don't know my son. You don't know my son. You have to talk to him right away.\"\nBut the priest did not comprehend the urgency of the situation \u2014 the need for a meeting at 6:30 a.m., with no prior notice. In his mind, what could be so important that it couldn't wait a couple of hours? Unwilling to give up so easily, my mother called a second priest but got much the same response. \"Can we put off the meeting until 8:30 or 9:00 a.m.?\" he asked.\nAs she was dialing a third priest, I interrupted and said, \"Mom, isn't there one of those ... .\" My voice trailing off much as it did before. I didn't even know what to call it. We were living at Norfolk Naval Air Station, and I didn't know if the place I was thinking of was called a church or a chapel. I said, \"Isn't there one of those things just inside the main gate?\"\nUnderstanding what I was referring to, she looked me right in the eye and said, \"Yes, Donnie. Run!\"\nDisbelief? Shock? Surprise? What was running through Mrs. Calloway's mind at that moment?\n\"When Fr. Donald announced he wanted to talk to a priest, I was shaken at first,\" admitted Mrs. Calloway. \"But not really surprised. I never once gave up hope and faith in our Lord. I have loved both of my children more than life itself from the very moment I was blessed to have children. So for me, it was as if I was shielded by mercy and grace in practicing my faith daily, knowing in my heart that we were all, as a family, going to be okay.\"\nAnd indeed, Fr. Donald's journey, while not free from difficulties or crosses, rests in the peace that only God in His mercy can bring. Father Donald persevered through a period of preparation before he could join the Catholic Church, followed by discernment to join a religious order, being accepted into the Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, and years of formation and education before being ordained a priest in 2003 at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, in Stockbridge, Mass.\n\"The road [for Fr. Donald] has been long, with many a winding turns. But out of the darkness there was always the light of the Lord holding out His arms,\" Mrs. Calloway said. \"We must always hope in the promises of Christ and His unfathomable mercy. Blessed be God forever!\"\nSo this is the sound of a motherly heart. It weeps over her children as they stray and breaks over their confusion and rejection, but how it rejoices when they find the true Way and give up all they have to follow it. And how this mother's heart sings in praise of the Merciful Lord for all that He has done for her son, the priest.\nFor more information on Fr. Donald, visit www.fathercalloway.com.\nMary Rose - Mar 13, 2011\nI have read this book and it is beautiful. Our Blessed Mother warned us that the devil works with those who THINK they are doing good things but are strayed to his ways at times. That does not mean those persons cannot change after temptation and be redeemed! How blessed we are to have a forgiving and loving God who never rejects His own. I am in tears right now because I have children who were raised Catholic but have strayed. I pray for Mary's intercession more than ever now.\nChris - Aug 6, 2010\nGreat article! Once again I was inspired by Father Calloway's story. But this time I was also inspired by his mother's faith!\nsopheesam - Jul 11, 2010\nI have had the priveledge to meet Fr. Calloway in Dallas during a retreat at St. Monica Church. He is so Holy Spirit filled. What an amazing life he has lived. He is a humble man who is a servant of God. That evening fr. made us laugh. He has a great sense of humor. He is a great story teller. His talk is well presented. Hearing him talk makes you realize he is young. My teenage son could have related to his presentation. Fr. is very educated. All ages who were there had a wonderful evening listening to him. I often wonder about the faith of his mother. How powerful her faith must be. I would go hear fr. Calloway's mom speak if she would do speaking engagements. They are both blessed by divine mercy. May God and our mother always hold them in the palm of their hands. Alleluja Thank you Jesus and Mary\nRob in Arizona - Jul 9, 2010\njust an increbibly inspiring story for any and all who might ever think of losing hope!!\nthanks for sharing! i've read the book! and in my opinion it should be read by everyone, catholic/christian, or not!!\njls - Jul 8, 2010\nMy daughter ran away from home at age 16, Holy week, and has not returned to the Church. She is now 28 and has two nBaptized children, is \"married\" to a devil-worshipper. This story just reminds me that: to NEVER give up Hope is not fooling ourselves, as some might think. I want to say, Praise God for His Divine Mercy. Thanks be to God!\nAmanda Yeates - Jul 8, 2010\nI pray for all 4 of my children daily to Our Blessed Mother.\nThis is a very inspiring story and I know i'm not alone and there is hope.",

        "raw_content": "Determining where to file for child custody\nOn behalf of Mark Childress, PC posted in Child Custody on Thursday, March 2, 2017.\nTypically, a parent will file for child custody in the child's home state. This is generally the state where the child has lived with a parent or guardian for the past six months. For instance, if a child lived with his or her mother in Texas, the father would file for custody in Texas. However, there are exceptions to this rule.\nFor instance, the home state of a child who is less than six months old is his or her birth state. It should also be noted that brief absences from a state may not have any bearing on the six-month rule. If a parent moves to a new state, he or she may need to wait six months before filing a custody claim in that state. In the event that a court in another state has already made a ruling, that state may be the child's home state regardless of other circumstances.\nIf multiple states are involved, federal law may determine when and how an individual can file for custody. Parents of children who are subject to abuse may ask for emergency custody under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act . Every state except Massachusetts follows it, and Massachusetts has a slightly modified version of the law.\nThose who are seeking legal custody of a child may wish to consult with an attorney. In most cases, a custody order will be made that is in the best interests of the child. Therefore, both parents may have visitation or custody rights regardless of how they feel about each other. Legal counsel may be able to help a parent determine which state to file a claim or whether the child is eligible for an emergency custody order.",

        "title": "\u2018An Evening with Branford Marsalis\u2019 at Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center | Marsalis Music",
        "raw_content": "Introduced by Susie Farr, the quartet sauntered onstage as if they were showing up to an informal jam session\u2014a fun, relaxed tone that continued throughout the evening, and allowed the audience to relax and truly get excited about the music. They were constantly laughing, talking, even exchanging inside jokes while playing and between pieces (Branford Marsalis clued the audience in to one of the jokes: the audience was to google \u201cthe Lick\u201d\u2014an overdone musical phrase that the quartet only uses in an attempt to make each other laugh, or groan). In response, the audience was extraordinarily energetic\u2014responding to the music with cheers and hoots, and even interacting with the musicians. At one point, Marsalis was talking about how, as a young man, he learned how important it was to learn the old jazz masters\u2014\u201cthe old men\u201d, and proceeded to play an arrangement of the Gershwin\u2019s \u201cOur Love Is Here to Stay.\u201d The audience clearly was a fan of the standard (and the \u201cold men\u201d), as they wildly applauded, but one man, encouraged by Marsalis\u2019s warmth and informality, yelled \u201cOld Men rock!\u201d Marsalis, in the midst of a solo, responded, \u201cYes they do!\u201d Such engaging showmanship, in conjunction with fantastic music, made for a truly enjoyable evening.\nWith Joey Calderazzo on piano, Eric Revis on bass, and Justin Faulkner on drums, while Marsalis played saxophones, the audience was treated to truly fantastic, masterful, jazz. The night began with two original compositions by members of the quartet: the challenging and difficult \u201cThe Mighty Sword\u201d by Calderazzo, then an equally engaging but slower and quieter composition by Revis. The contrast of the two pieces truly highlighted the strength of the quartet, as they were equally moving and impressive with the first flashy piece as with the second, more languid piece.\nThe Branford Marsalis Quartet also put their unique twist on familiar compositions by jazz greats Thelonius Monk and Jelly Roll Morton, even George Gershwin. And of course there were the requisite solos by each member of the quartet throughout the night: impressive solos that masterfully exhibited the talent and skills of each musician. One drum solo in particular brought audience members to their feet in appreciation, so there was no surprise at the end of the concert, when there was an immediate and enthusiastic standing ovation that brought the quartet back for a fantastic encore, despite Marsalis\u2019 comment that the quartet didn\u2019t know their encore very well.\nThe best summary of the night came at the end, when the Dean of the College of Arts and Humanities at UMD, Bonnie Thornton Dill, said that she had not been \u201cchallenged, enthralled, and engaged\u201d at a concert in a long time. And the audience agreed. The Branford Marsalis Quartet did indeed challenge, enthrall, and engage the audience in a way that they will not soon forget.",

        "raw_content": "830 CMR 64H.6.1: Casual and Isolated Sales\n830 CMR 64H:00: Sales and Use Tax\n830 CMR 64H:00 is repealed and replaced with the following:\n(1) Statement of Purpose; Outline of Topics\n(a) Purpose. 830 CMR 64H.6.1, describes the application of the Massachusetts sales and use tax to casual and isolated sales made by persons, groups, for-profit, and nonprofit organizations, and persons, groups or organizations acting through or on their behalf. It also deals with the taxation of sales made to them. 830 CMR 64H.6.1 will apply retroactively to all open tax years.\n(b) Outline of Topics. This regulation is organized as follows:\n(1) Statement of Purpose; Outline of Topics.\n(3) General Rules.\n(4) Special Rules for Fundraising Activities.\n(5) Sales in the Regular Course of Business.\n(6) Special Substantiation Requirements.\n(8) Vendor Registration Requirements.\n(9) Revocation of Prior Policies, Rulings and Agreements.\nFor purposes of 830 CMR 64H.6.1 the terms below have the following meanings:\nCasual and isolated sales, sales of tangible personal property originally acquired for use or consumption by a seller and later resold by that seller other than in the regular course of a business engaged in by that seller.\nGovernment organization, government organizations include the United States and its agencies, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and any of its political subdivisions and their respective agencies, and any organization that Massachusetts is prohibited from taxing under the Constitution or laws of the United States.\nNonprofit organization, includes any organization falling within the provisions of s. 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as amended and in effect for the applicable period, whether or not the organization has been classified as such by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Revenue.\nRetail establishment, any store or other medium or facility through which the business of selling services or tangible personal property at retail is regularly conducted. The presence of a retail establishment is a question of fact.\nSale at retail or retail sale, a sale of services or tangible personal property or both for any purpose other than resale in the regular course of business.\n(a) The sales or use tax does not apply to casual and isolated sales made by a person, group, or organization not regularly engaged in the business of selling tangible personal property. The casual and isolated sales exemption set forth in M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(c) may apply to sales by a person, group, or organization engaged in the business of making sales of tangible personal property, if the sales are of a type of property not ordinarily sold in the regular course of the person's, group's or organization's business. See, e.g., 830 CMR 64H.6.1(7)(a)5. The use tax, however, does apply to the casual and isolated sale of a motor vehicle or trailer as defined in M.G.L. c. 90, s. 1, or of a boat or airplane where the purchaser is not the spouse, parent, brother, sister, or child of the seller.\n(b) Items not purchased for resale in the regular course of business are generally taxable. Whether or not the purchase of such property was taxable, any person, group, or organization may later make tax exempt casual and isolated sales of such property. So long as the property sold at such sales was not originally acquired for resale, the number of these sales in a calendar year is immaterial.\n(c) Sales to government organizations are exempt under M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(d).\n(d) Under M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(e), sales to nonprofit organizations which are exempt from taxation under s. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or sales to nonprofit organizations that are in the process of obtaining exemption under s. 501(c)(3) but have not yet obtained certification from the Internal Revenue Service (hereinafter \"s. 501(c)(3) organizations\") are exempt from sales tax if the following rules are met.\n1. The tangible personal property or services sold to the s. 501(c)(3) organization will be used to further its exempt purpose;\n2. The s. 501(c)(3) organization has obtained a certification (i.e. Form ST-2) from the Commissioner stating that it is entitled to the exemption. Organizations subject to the mandatory exceptions of s. 508(c) of the Internal Revenue Code are exempt from this requirement. Nonprofit organizations that have applied for, but not yet received, a certification from the Internal Revenue Service establishing their status as a s. 501(c)(3) organization may be eligible for exemption for their purchases if they have obtained temporary certification from the Commissioner in accordance with the requirements of Technical Information Release 96-9;\n3. The s. 501(c)(3) organization gives the vendor a properly completed Exempt Purchaser Certificate (Form ST-5) certifying that the property purchased is for an exempt use. A copy of the organization's Form ST-2 must accompany the Form ST-5 given to the vendor;\n4. The vendor keeps a record of the sales price of each separate sale, the name of the purchaser, the date of the sale, and the number of the Certificate of Exemption; and\n5. The s. 501(c)(3) organization in all other respects complies with the provisions of 830 CMR 64H.8.1: Resale and Exempt Use Certificates.\n(e) Sales to persons, groups, or organizations not described in 830 CMR 64H.6.1(3)(c) or (d) are generally taxable regardless of whether the property is to be used for fundraising, unless exempt under some other provision of law.\n(f) Sales to persons, groups, or organizations acting through or on behalf of entities described in 830 CMR 64H.6.1(3)(c) or (d) are also exempt from taxation when the purchases are made through or on behalf of the exempt entity, provided that the substantiation requirements of 830 CMR 64H.6.1(6)(b) or (d) are met.\n(4) Special Rules For Fundraising Activities\n(a) Sales of tangible personal property by a government organization for fundraising purposes are exempt from sales tax as casual and isolated sales if the organization does not make sales in the regular course of business of the same type of property. Sales of tangible personal property by a nonprofit organization for fundraising purposes are exempt from sales tax as casual and isolated sales if\ni) the organization does not make sales in the regular course of business of the same type of property and\nii) amounts derived from such casual and isolated sales are used to further the organization's exempt purpose. If these tests are met, the number of casual and isolated sales in a calendar year is immaterial.\n(b) The Commissioner will generally presume that amounts derived from the sale of tangible personal property purchased for fundraising activities are used to further the organization's exempt purpose.\n(5) Sales in the Regular Course of Business\nIn general, whether a nonprofit or governmental organization conducts sales in the regular course of business is a question of fact, to be determined from an examination of the facts and circumstances surrounding the transactions and overall operations of the organization. The Commissioner will consider the following factors in deciding whether a sale is made in the regular course of an organization's business:\n(a) Whether the organization conducts sales from a retail establishment that it operates, as defined in 830 CMR 64H.6.1.\n(b) Whether the organization is required to hold a vendor's registration certificate pursuant to M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 7, and is ordinarily engaged in making sales of the same type of property that it sells in its fundraising events.\n(c) Whether the proceeds from sales of meals or tangible personal property constitute unrelated business income within the meaning of applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions and the regulations promulgated thereunder.\n(6) Special Substantiation Requirements\n(a) Sales Directly to Government Organizations.\nGovernment organizations are encouraged to obtain a Certificate of Exemption (Form ST-2) and submit to the vendor a properly executed Exempt Purchaser Certificate (Form ST-5) and a copy of its Form ST-2, if available, when making exempt purchases. Vendors must retain forms in the same manner as other sales tax records. See Record Retention regulation, 830 CMR 62C.25.1, for further recordkeeping requirements. If the government organization does not present Form ST-5, the vendor must maintain other adequate documentation verifying that the purchaser is exempt, e.g., a copy of the organization's check or credit card.\n(b) Sales to Entities Purchasing Through or on Behalf of Government Organizations.\nEntities purchasing through or on behalf of government organizations must certify that they are doing so by presenting a properly executed Form ST-5 when making such purchases. Form ST-5 may be made out by the exempt organization or the purchaser, but must contain the name, address, and, if available, the exemption number of the government organization on whose behalf purchases are made, as well as a description of the property purchased. At the time of purchase, the purchaser must attach to the Form ST-5 submitted to the vendor, a copy of the government organization's Form ST-2 if it is available. Vendors must retain forms in the same manner as other sales tax records. See Record Retention regulation, 830 CMR 62C.25.1, for further recordkeeping requirements.\n(c) Sales Directly to Organizations Exempt Under I.R.C. s. 501(c)(3).\nA s. 501(c)(3) organization must first obtain a Form ST-2 (or temporary certification: see TIR 96-9) from the Commissioner certifying that it is entitled to exemption under M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(e). When making purchases these organizations must submit to the vendor a copy of their Form ST-2 attached to a properly executed Form ST-5. Vendors must retain both forms in the same manner as other sales tax records. See Record Retention regulation, 830 CMR 62C.25.1, for further recordkeeping requirements.\n(d) Sales to Entities Purchasing Through or on Behalf of Organizations Exempt Under I.R.C. s. 501(c)(3).\nEntities purchasing property through or on behalf of organizations exempt under I.R.C. s. 501(c)(3) must submit to the vendor a copy of the organization's Form ST-2 attached to a properly executed Form ST-5 from the organization on whose behalf it is making purchases. Vendors must retain both forms in the same manner as other sales tax records. See Record Retention regulation, 830 CMR 62C.25.1, for further recordkeeping requirements.\nThe provisions of 830 CMR 64H.6.1(6)(b) and (d) are illustrated by the following example:\nEvery year, the parent teacher organizations (PTO) at two different high schools conduct a \"Spring Fling\" for fundraising purposes to benefit their school. Each PTO hires a band, purchases flowers, and contracts with a local hotel for a banquet hall and the provision of 100 meals. Additionally, the PTO reserves a block of 30 rooms at the hotel for parents.\nOne high school in this example is a public school in Boston (Public High). The PTO for Public High holds no exemption itself, but would like to avail itself of the exemption which would be available to Public High under M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(d) had Public High purchased the property directly . In order to substantiate a claim of exemption under M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(d), Public High PTO must submit to the vendor a properly executed Form ST-5 and must attach a copy of Public High's Form ST-2 if the Form ST-2 is available. If Public High does not present these forms to PTO, the PTO may itself fill out the appropriate sections of Form ST-5 and submit the form to vendors when making purchases through or on behalf of Public High.\nThe other high school is a local non-governmental high school (Private High) that has 501(c)(3) status. The PTO for Private High does not itself have 501(c)(3) status but would like to avail itself of the exemption which would be available to Private High under M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(e) had Private High purchased the property directly . In order to substantiate a claim of exemption under M.G.L. c. 64H, s. 6(e), Private High PTO must submit to the vendor a properly executed and signed Form ST-5 and must attach a copy of Private High's Form ST-2 or temporary Form ST-2. If the PTO itself has applied for and received 501(c)(3) status, the substantiation requirements in section 830 CMR 64H.6.1 (6)(c) apply.\nGenerally, if a customer rents a room for the purpose of serving a meal and the meal is provided by the operator of the room, the charge for the room is subject to sales tax whether or not the charge for the room is separately stated from the charge for the meal. See 830 CMR 64H.6.5(7)(b)2. Here, however, the rental of the banquet hall is exempt as a sale to an entity purchasing through or on behalf of an organization exempt under I.R.C. s. 501(c)(3) or an entity purchasing through or on behalf of a government organization.\nThe rental of the 30 rooms in this example for sleeping and living purposes is subject to the Room Occupancy Excise under M.G.L. c. 64G s. 1. There is no exemption for room rentals under M.G.L. c. 64G corresponding to the exemption under the sales tax statute for purchases by governmental and s. 501(c)(3) organizations and entities purchasing through or on their behalf.\n(e) The substantiation requirements of 830 CMR 64H.6.1(6) are in addition to any other recordkeeping requirements imposed by law.\nSince the existence of a casual and isolated sale is a question of fact, the examples in this section are for illustrative purposes only.\n(a) Exempt casual and isolated sales by persons, groups, or organizations.\n1. A person selling his household furniture, a grocer selling his cash register, or an insurance agent selling his typewriter;\n2. Sales by executors, administrators, trustees, receivers, and other fiduciaries except when they continue the operation of a business as sellers;\n3. Legal sales or executions pursuant to a court order or a court officer;\n4. Sale of a business in its entirety by the owner, other than the sale of any motor vehicle, trailer, boat or airplane included therein;\n5. Sales of used machinery, fixtures, equipment and like items by an owner who is engaged in a business or occupation such as manufacturing or farming, but who is not engaged in the selling of such items as a business;\n6. Fundraising sales by nonprofit organizations. When a nonprofit organization uses an auctioneer to facilitate its fundraising sales the auctioneer's sales are casual and isolated only if the auctioneer receives no fee or other consideration in exchange for the auctioneer's services.\n(b) Sales that are not casual and isolated.\n1. Auctioneer sales, except as provided in 830 CMR 64H.6.1(7)(a)6;\n2. Sales of motor vehicles, trailers, boats or airplanes by any person other than the spouse, parent, brother, sister or child of the purchaser;\n3. Retail sales by manufacturers, wholesalers, processors, and jobbers even though such sales are infrequent and only comprise an insignificant fraction of their total business;\n4. Sales that constitute an integral part of a business, such as the sale of repossessed fixtures or other property by a finance company, even though the sale of tangible personal property is not the primary function of such business;\n5. Sales by a manufacturer who liquidates his business and sells his machinery, equipment, and other tangible property in a number of sales over a period of time to either the same or to different purchasers;\n6. Sales of motor vehicles, trailers, boats, or airplanes in connection with the organization, reorganization, dissolution or partial liquidation of a business entity, except where the seller is the spouse, parent, brother, sister, or child of the purchaser;\n7. Sales by a museum shop of postcards, books, jewelry, games, chinaware, etc.\n(8) Vendor Registration Requirements\n(a) Any person, group, or organization, including s. 501(c)(3) organizations certified by the Commissioner as exempt, making sales of tangible personal property in the regular course of business must register as a Massachusetts vendor and collect and remit sales taxes whether or not the property is to be sold at fundraising events. The person, group, or organization should present a resale certificate to its vendors when it purchases property for resale.\n(b) Nonprofit organizations and government organizations making sales of tangible personal property for fundraising purposes in casual and isolated sales need not register as vendors with the Commissioner and collect sales tax.\n(9) Revocation of Prior Policies, Rulings and Agreements\n830 CMR 64H.6.1 supersedes any and all prior policy statements, Letter Rulings, Directives and Technical Information Releases addressing the sales and use tax treatment of casual and isolated sales. All such prior policy statements, Letter Rulings, Directives and Technical Information Releases are hereby revoked in their entirety. This includes, without limiting the foregoing, Directive 91-1.\nEmergency Regulation: 4/28/66\nDate of Promulgation: 10/22/69\nNew regulation promulgated: 7/7/00",

        "raw_content": "Routine dental cleanings are important to maintaining good oral hygiene. A professional cleaning by a Dental Hygienist can remove mineralized plaque that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach. It is recommended you have a professional Dental cleaning and Exam once every six months.\nYou can expect your dental cleaning to last between 30 minutes and an hour. Typically, a trained Dental Hygienist will do the cleaning, and the dentist will come in for your exam at the end. Most people find that dental cleanings are painless, and do not cause any discomfort. The teeth will feel clean and smooth.\nThere are two important steps to a dental cleaning. The first step is scaling the teeth, whereby the hygienist will remove the plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces. This can be performed by hand or with ultrasonic scalers depending on the amount of builup on your teeth. If necessary, the hygienist will also clean beneath the gums to remove any plaque and tartar buildup.",

        "title": "Clinique Marketing Mix (4Ps) Strategy | MBA Skool-Study.Learn.Share.",
        "raw_content": "Clinique Marketing Mix (4Ps) Strategy\nMarketing Mix of Clinique analyses the brand/company which covers 4Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) and explains the Clinique marketing strategy. The article elaborates the pricing, advertising & distribution strategies used by the company.\nLet us start the Clinique Marketing Mix:\nClinique is one of the leading companies providing skincare, cosmetics etc. All the products made by Clinique laboratories are based on the basic 3 steps of cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing. All the products manufactured are clinically tested by dermatologists and are manufactured as per the standards of allergy tested, 100% fragrance free and suitable for different types of skin. Clinique started with the mission of providing beautifying products for women but in 1976 the company began with men\u2019s product line as well and became the first women's cosmetic company to introduce men\u2019s range. Main reason for the success of Clinique is its adaptability to change as per the needs of its customers and coming up with variety of products by keeping the growing trends of the market. The company has not limited itself to skin care but has increased its product portfolio in its marketing mix by introducing hair care products, make up products etc. Below is the product line provided by Clinique for different categories:\nSkin Care: It has cleansers, eye/lip care, hands, body wash, masks etc. It helps in removing dark spots, anti aging, dryness, oiliness etc\nMakeup: Blush, bronzer, eyeliner, eye shadow, brow, lip gloss, lipstick, face brush etc.\nFragrance: Perfumes and deos for both men and women\nClinique caters the need of upper class people, those who believe in the quality of the product and don\u2019t worry about the cost associated with it. As Clinique is always associated with the quality products, the prices of the products are slightly at the higher end. The strategy used is prestige pricing in its marketing mix. In this the customers relate quality to the price and believe that the low cost products will not be able to provide the same result or service that high cost products provide. Prestige pricing helps to create a brand value and convinces the customers that the product provides an added value as compared to its competitors.\nClinique became one of the first cosmetic brands which provided the online store for purchasing for its customers. Clinique anticipated the power of online media and how this can help the brand to increase the sale. Apart from this, Clinique has always believed in setting up physical stores to provide the customers a feeling of belongingness. These physical stores have few trained consultants who assist the customers with their skin related queries. This creates a positive brand image and a sense of real care in customer\u2019s mind. Earlier Clinique was very particular about the distribution channel and used up-scale stores nut now the products are available with mass retail stores to increase the sales.\nClinique generally indulges in conducting different sweepstakes and contests to lure more customers and promote the brand. In 2007, Clinique launched Beauty Boot Camp to launch Clinique's Acne Solutions Clear Skin System, to help acne-prone skin. In this contest, 10000 people were awarded with 2 complete months\u2019 supply of Acne Solutions Clear Skin System. After the use of the products, the contestants were supposed to share their, before and after photos to win $5,000, a day with celebrity Emmy Rossum, including a tour of the Teen Vogue and a bag full of Clinique products. Sometime the company also provides gifts to their customers like gift hamper, coupons etc. Clinique is also using social media and other marketing campaigns to make a loyal customer database. The company has official account on Facebook, twitter and Instagram handles and Youtube channels to promote the brand. Hence this completes the Clinique marketing mix.\nAbout Clinique:\nClinique Laboratories, a subsidiary of Est\u00e9e Lauder Companies, is an American manufacturer of skincare, cosmetics, toiletries and fragrances. Clinique was the first dermatologist guided, allergy tested and 100% fragrance free launched by Est\u00e9e Lauder Companies in 1968. The beginning of this brand was based on the philosophy of Dr. Norman Orentreich \u201cGreat skin can be created\u201d.\nBrowse 4Ps Analysis of more brands and companies similar to Clinique Marketing Mix.

        "raw_content": "Laissez Faire can be a good idea and all, but there are certain industries that absolutely need government regulation.\nNamely, the hospital waste treatment industry.\nA Large Portion of Hospital Wastes Are Dangerous.\nThere are four different types of medical waste. There\u2019s general waste, infectious medical waste, radioactive waste, and hazardous waste.\nGeneral waste refers to the type of garbage and trash you might normally find in a household, and makes up about 80% of the waste generated by healthcare activities. However, 20% of all medical waste is still a lot.\nHealth care facilities generate about 2 million tons of medical and surgical wastes each year, which breaks down to about 5,500 tons of waste generated each day. That\u2019s 1,100 tons \u2014 2,200,000 pounds \u2014 of hospital and surgical wastes that\u2019s considered to be dangerous, the majority of which (15%) is infectious and anatomic waste.\nHazardous Medical Waste Can Pose a Huge Threat to People\u2019s Health.\nIf hospital and surgical wastes are mishandled, people could get hurt, sick, or infected. Each year, about 16 billion injections are administered across the world, but not all are properly disposed of. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), some 260,000 new HIV infections were directly related to the mismanagement of needles and syringes.\nMishandling Medical Waste Can Negatively Impact the Environment.\nIf not handled correctly, hospital and surgical wastes could wind up severely damaging the environment. One of the most common medical waste disposal methods is incineration. Though it works quite well, it can actually pollute the environment if not done correctly.\nDuring the Ebola crisis, Liberia was warned not to use old incinerators to destroy all of the hospital and surgical waste produced by the pandemic by WHO, as it could release chemicals into the air and pollute the West African country\u2019s environment. However, the overwhelming amount of medical waste produced by Ebola forced the nation to use them.\nHospital and surgical wastes need to be handled correctly.\nIf not, people could get hurt.\nIf you have any questions about how medical waste is managed, feel free to share in the comments.",

Now, a bunch of human beings are trying it. They\u2019re called CRONies \u2014 for calorie restricted, on optimal nutrition:\nTechnology Review: What\u2019s the most striking finding you\u2019ve seen in those following a calorie-restricted diet so far?\nJohn Holloszy: They are powerfully protected against the diseases of old age, such as heart disease. They have low levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and extremely low blood pressure \u2014 similar to a young child, around 100/60. As a result of the low blood pressure, they have less strain on the arteries, which are much more elastic than usual for people of their age. Their hearts resemble the heart of a person 17 years younger. They also have very good insulin sensitivity, so they are not going to get Type 2 diabetes.\nWow, sounds amazing! But then:\nTR: You also compared them to a group of runners to see how caloric restriction measures up to exercise.\nJH: Yes. We studied a group of master athletes, who are the thinnest group of people eating regular diets that we could find. They were very lean, but not as thin as the CRONies. It\u2019s hard to find anyone that thin, unless they\u2019re sick.\nJust think: They\u2019ll be grossing out everyone around them, for decades to come\u2026\nMore from the Calorie Restriction Society, and Peter Voss\u2019s CRON pages\u2026",

        "raw_content": "Pitt leads trial to reduce antibiotic overuse at post-acute and long-term care facilities\nThe University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine will be leading a $1.5 million national trial to examine methods to reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics in post-acute and long-term care (PA/LTC)facilities.\nThe three-year study, funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), will investigate guidelines and tools to help PA/LTC facilities better manage urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are commonly misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated.\n\"Antimicrobial resistance is a hot button issue in health care nationally and internationally - and improper overutilization of antibiotics is the single largest culprit,\" said David A. Nace, M.D., M.P.H., director of long-term care and flu programs in Pitt's Division of Geriatric Medicine, and primary investigator on the AHRQ grant. \"It is critically important that we find ways to cut unnecessary use of antibiotics.\"\nThe World Health Organization and the White House, among others, recently made announcements declaring efforts to address antimicrobial resistance top priorities. JAMA Internal Medicine has published an article finding that antibiotic use is highly variable across nursing homes, exposing residents to an increased risk of antibiotic-related harms and indicating a need to improve antibiotic stewardship in PA/LTC facilities.\nThe leading reason for antibiotic use at PA/LTC facilities is to treat a suspected UTI. Antibiotics often are started before a correct diagnosis is made. However, as many as two-thirds of those suspected cases turn out not to be UTIs, and the patients don't benefit from - and could be harmed by - the antibiotics.\nWhen used incorrectly, antibiotics can kill good bacteria and allow harmful, drug-resistant bacteria to flourish. Antibiotics also can cause allergic reactions or side-effects and are the leading cause of adverse drug reactions in long-term care facilities.\nDr. Nace, also chief medical officer for UPMC Senior Communities, and his co-investigators at AMDA - The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine and the University of Wisconsin are looking at existing guidance and research on UTIs to develop comprehensive guidelines and tools geared toward easy implementation at PA/LTC facilities. University of Wisconsin co-investigator Christopher Crnich, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of medicine, is an expert in antimicrobial stewardship in long-term care facilities. AMDA has long been respected for improving care in nursing homes, and their reputation will be critical to disseminating the results of this project and improving care across the U.S.\nNext year, the team will enroll 40 PA/LTC facilities from Pennsylvania, Texas, North Carolina and Wisconsin in their trial. Half will receive the guidelines, as well as on-going mentoring and education, while the other half will operate as normal.\nFor a year, the team will collect data on the number of UTIs before and after the trial, the rate of appropriate and inappropriate treatment, and adverse outcomes. Once the trial concludes, all the facilities will be given the guidelines, tools, mentoring and education.\n\"There's a lot of pressure across both agriculture and medicine to rein in use of antibiotics,\" said Dr. Nace. \"We are very quickly running out of antibiotics to do the job for us, and the problem is only going to grow worse. New antibiotics are not being created and licensed fast enough to keep pace with bacterium's ability to develop drug-resistance. Efforts like ours to become better stewards of existing antibiotics are among the few solutions left at our disposal.\"\nUrology / Nephrology Seniors / Aging Caregivers / Homecare\nUniversity of Pittsburgh School of Medic. \"Pitt leads trial to reduce antibiotic overuse at post-acute and long-term care facilities.\" Medical News Today.

        "raw_content": "LASER, which is the most commonly used method around the world for refractive surgeries, is also used for the treatment of myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Customized intraocular lens replacement surgeries are performed for people who are not suitable for laser surgery. You can get rid of your glasses thanks to these surgeries.\nWho Can Have Laser Surgery?\nThose who are over 18 and use glasses or contact lenses,\nThose whose diopters have not changed more than 0.50 diopters during the last 1 year,\nThose who have myopia up to -10 diopters,\nThose who have astigmatism up to -6 diopters and hyperopia up to +4 diopters,\nThose who have a sufficient cornea tissue thickness,\nThose who do not suffer from systemic diseases such as diabetes or rheumatism,\nThose who do not suffer from any other eye diseases (cone-like bulging of cornea, eye pressure etc.),\nAnd those whose eye structure is found to be suitable for surgery based on the pre-operative examinations and procedures to be done can be treated with laser.\nLaser Treatment at D\u00fcnyag\u00f6z\nLASIK method is based on the principle of opening the cornea as a flap by cutting a thin layer on the upper surface of the cornea, and the diopter correction with \"excimer laser\" on the exposed cornea surface. At D\u00fcnyag\u00f6z Hospitals Group, surgeries are performed by doctors specialized in the treatment of eye diseases with laser.\nAccording to the studies conducted at D\u00fcnyag\u00f6z Hospitals Group, the eyes of only 50% of those who would like to undergo laser surgery are eligible for treatment.\nLASIK procedures at D\u00fcnyag\u00f6z are performed with laser devices which have been approved by the FDA (American Food and Drug Administration).\nExcimer Laser treatment for refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism has been recognized in the medical community as a reliable method with known rules and results. Since the early 1980s, millions of people have benefitted from this treatment and were relieved of the limitations of wearing glasses or contact lenses that they encountered in their social and professional life. More than 31.4 million people around the world have been treated by this method since it first started to be used. The rate of success is nearly 98% if laser treatment is applied for eligible patients under the right conditions.\nMisconceptions about Laser\nWrong: The reliability of laser treatment is not known.\nRight: Laser treatment is a completely reliable, FDA-approved technology.\nWrong: One goes blind in 10 years following laser treatment.\nRight: Laser technology has been in use since the 1980s. There is no risk of going blind.\nWrong: Cataract surgery is not possible after laser treatment.\nRight: Laser surgery neither prevents nor results in a future eye treatment (including cataract surgery).\nWrong: Laser treatment is only for myopia. It cannot be used for astigmatism or hyperopia.\nRight: Laser surgery can be performed successfully in eyes with myopia of 1 to 10 diopters or astigmatism or hyperopia of 1 to 7 diopters which are found to be suitable for laser.\nWrong: Laser treatment can be applied only once. If the eye's diopter increases in the future, it is impossible to apply the treatment.\nRight: Laser treatment can be applied for a second time if your eye structure is suitable for it.\nWrong: The retinal layer is damaged in laser treatment.\nRight: Laser treatment is applied on the eye's corneal layer. The retina cannot be damaged.\nWrong: Color blindness develops after laser treatment.\nRight: Color blindness is impossible to develop after laser treatment.\nWrong: Laser treatment is painful with bleeding.\nRight: Laser treatment is applied on the cornea, where there are no veins, and therefore is not an open procedure with bleeding. Pain is not felt during laser treatment since anesthetic eye drops are used.\nWrong: Eye drops should be used for a lifetime after laser treatment.\nRight: Eye drops should be used for the first several months following laser treatment. However, lifetime use of eye drops is not necessary.\nWhat should you be careful about at the hospital where you will have your laser surgery?\nThe institution's technological and hygienic infrastructure\nThe physician's experience and expertise in laser\nAvailability of the entire technological infrastructure for laser treatment and tests\nAll medical supplies including surgical gowns, injectors and special medication used during your surgery being personal and single-use\nWhether services are provided in all eye-related areas or not\nSave for a lifetime with a one-time, 10-minute laser treatment.\nMany ophthalmologists recommend that adults have an eye examination every year and renew their glasses. The glasses and contact lenses that we replace every year result in a waste of time and money without us even noticing. A pair of glasses cost somewhere between TL 200 and 1,500 on average. Similarly, lens wearers spend at least TL 400 every year for their lenses and complementary products. Considering these costs, the money spent to get rid of glasses with laser treatment is recovered in 1-2 years and results in significant savings in the following years. A person having laser treatment at 18 years of age saves nearly TL 21,600 during their lifetime.\nSave Time with Laser\nLaser treatments help you save not only money but also time. Research shows that a person using contact lenses spends 50 hours a year putting in and taking out the lenses. Time is one of the most valuable assets of our day; instead of wasting it, you can put your time to good use after laser treatment.\nWhat Will Laser Change in Your Life?\nYou will get rid of the discomfort caused by glasses and contact lenses once and for all.\nYou will be able to see the time easily when you wake up in the morning or at night.\nYou will have a natural appearance and sight without glasses or contact lenses.\nYou will feel more comfortable and be more successful in sports activities.\nYou will feel less discomfort from weather events like wind and rain.\nYou will never have problems like misplaced contact lenses or broken glasses.\nYou can benefit from all these advantages with a 10-minute laser treatment.",

        "raw_content": "Jun 14, 2017 | Back Pain, DBS Scoliosis Rail, Idiopathic Scoliosis, Orthopaedics, Pain relief, Vertetrac |\nWhat must it be like, living with scoliosis, especially having to grow up with it at a time when appearance is important in high school? Scoliosis often leads to patients being even more self-conscious that a typical high school student. A second problem is the pain that is often associated with the condition which can cause problems in concentration, affecting academic ability.\nScoliosis affects 2-3% of the population, so in the United States that would translate to between 6 to 9 million people, and in the UK, to 1.32 to 2 million. Scoliosis develops in infancy or early childhood but most cases onset at 10-15 years old, occurring equally among boys and girls. Girls are 8 times more likely to progress to a curve magnitude requiring treatment intervention. Some children are fitted with a brace, while others often require surgery.\nDepending on the degree of the curve, it may look as if the child is slouching or simply has bad posture, rather than an actual disability. It is important to determine the cause of the \u2018bad\u2019 posture by visiting a GP and getting a referral to an orthopaedic consultant, after the GP\u2019s initial diagnosis, for further tests.\nPain Associated with Scoliosis\nLiving with scoliosis is often a painful condition, mentally and physically, in children and in adults. Yoga and spinal decompression can often significantly afford pain relief and arrest or slow the curve progression. See more information on a number of treatments in our Guide \u2018Diagnosis: Scoliosis. But what does that actually mean?\u2018. For information on the Dynamic Brace System for Scoliosis using the Vertetrac & DBS Rail, click here and scroll to the end of this article for more information.\nWhat is the emotional cost, not to mention the physical pain due to living with scoliosis, as many patients have scoliosis-associated backache? Living with pain affects quality of life and ability to take part in sports, social events and school activities. Not taking part in sports creates a peer-to-peer issue too as friendships are often forged in the playing field. We are all judged by our peers, on athletic prowess, looks and popularity, \u2018cool\u2019 factor, and whether or not we are \u2018in\u2019 with the right crowd, etc. Cheerleaders and baseball / basketball jocks typically lead the pack. But what if you can\u2019t join in these activities? Where does that leave you?\nBe Open and Inviting\nHaving a disability often leads to being stigmatized by callous peers and the general public. Having to constantly explain the condition is mentally exhausting. The merits of being open about it and \u2018letting people in\u2019 will bring its own rewards. It is therefore worth doing in your social circle and networks. Why? Because once discussed and out in the open, it won\u2019t be something whispered about and will soon be forgotten. Another topic will quickly become more important, because the curiosity will be requited. Being open may even create empathy (not to be confused with pity \u2013 who needs that?!) and creativeness, looking at how to be included rather than the opposite.\nDon\u2019t Let Your Condition Define You!\nScoliosis, or any disorder or disability for that matter, doesn\u2019t have to define you unless you let it. Attitude is key and life-changing for better or worse. Living with scoliosis doesn\u2019t have to be a stigma. It could be celebrated! What do I mean by that? Have you seen the Britain\u2019s Got Talent \u2018Just Us\u2019 dance troupe starring Julia? She is a prime example of not letting her disability define who she is, and her openess about her condition is awe inspiring!\nLastly, there are ways to improve your condition, such as the braces and surgery \u2013 but before you opt for either of these, do check out Meditrac\u2019s Vertetrac & Dynamic Brace Scoliosis System: in prepubescents it may correct the curve without surgery, or arrest the progression of the curve until surgery, and without having to wear the system for more than 30 mins 1-3/day , depending on the degree of curvature and frailty of the patient. For the treatment regimen, click here. If you are an adult, the DBS Scoliosis Rail System Attachment to the Vertetrac will help to reduce the associated pain.\nTags: living with scoliosisscoliosis diagnosis by Adam's testscoliosis diagnosis with X-rayscoliosis treatmenttreating scoliosis",

        "raw_content": "How Do You Know When It's Time to Upgrade Your AMS\nWhen you think about your association management software, the first two words that come to mind probably aren\u2019t \u201cproject management\u201d.\nBut to be successful when implementing your AMS, you have to adhere to the principles of good project management.\nWhether it was three months or three years ago, someone had to build an initial business case to purchase an AMS for your association. Maybe you were there or perhaps it was a predecessor who was responsible for your association management software. Together with your association\u2019s executive team, the requirements were determined for your AMS and a budget was set for the type of investment to make in your association\u2019s technology.\nIf your association\u2019s board decided it wanted to make a small initial investment, your AMS might have been a lower price and delivered quickly but did not have all the functionality you need. Or, if a larger investment was made for a full association technology enterprise system, which would take months to implement, perhaps you\u2019ve had a change in requirements that aren\u2019t included in your current AMS system\u2019s functionality.\nGood project management principles state that constant review of requirements is needed to ensure there are no changes in scope and that the deliverables meet all of your goals for technology that will help your business. The same is true for your AMS. It\u2019s time to look at your association\u2019s technology and determine if you need to make improvements.\nHere are ways to know when it\u2019s time to upgrade your AMS:\n1. The person who built the AMS doesn't work there anymore\nIf you weren\u2019t the one to project manage the implementation of your association management software, then you probably weren\u2019t a part of the initial process to gather requirements. Hopefully they didn\u2019t try to build your own AMS, and if they did hopefully there\u2019s documentation on your association's technology. The good news is you can take all the information from your current database and upload it into your new AMS.\n2. The system hasn't been upgraded in years\nIf you built your own AMS, or hired an engineer to build it for you, then chances are your system is need of serious updates. That\u2019s the benefit of partnering with an association management software as a service (AMS SaaS) technology vendor. Your association will always be on the latest version. Even if there is no budget to upgrade, your AMS provider will always be pushing upgrades and updates for free\n3. Investigate how technology has changed since you purchased your prior system\nInnovation, technical skills, and vision are essential for continuous delivery of cutting edge software solutions for modern associations. Even if you bought your AMS as recently as last year, you want to keep up with the latest association technology trends especially for membership engagement, event management, and membership financials.\n4. Members are complaining about your association\u2019s technology\nIf your association members aren\u2019t able to easily use your AMS portal and are having a bad experience then it will be detrimental to your association\u2019s brand. For modern associations, the technology they offer to members is an integral part of membership engagement. If you\u2019re getting complaints about your AMS, then it\u2019s time to upgrade.\n5. Staff members are desperate for automation\nDo you have association staff members who are still doing manual data entry? It\u2019s time to streamline those processes with automation and eliminate the monotony of manually entering information that\u2019s vital to your association. It\u2019s 2015! Why would a modern association still be doing manual data entry?\n6. You can\u2019t connect other platforms to your AMS\nIn a perfect world, all of your association\u2019s technology will seamlessly integrate without any issues. But in reality, you want to connect other systems to your database but are unable to do so. If your email marketing automation system doesn\u2019t integrate with your AMS, or if financial applications can\u2019t directly connect with your membership collections, then it\u2019s time to upgrade your association management systems.\n7. You\u2019re using too many systems and need to consolidate\nThere\u2019s a bevy of different platforms to choose from. A modern AMS provider will offer one cloud-based system with modules for all of your association\u2019s functions including membership engagement, billing, financials, CRM, event management, certifications, continuing education, awards...everything your association needs to function in a modern, social world.\nIs now the time to upgrade your AMS?

        "title": "Car Safety Continued",
        "raw_content": "Between the ages of 4 to 8 years, from 40 to 80 pounds or more, children should continue to use a belt-positioning booster seat to make sure that the seat belts will protect them properly and not injure them in the event of an accident. Children should continue to use booster seats until they can sit in the regular seat and the safety belt can be latched and fit appropriately as it would for an adult. Caregivers should not allow a child to sit in a regular car seat with the shoulder harness placed under the child's arm, for example. If a child can not sit appropriately in the car seat as would an adult, he or she should continue to use a booster seat.\nChildren should never ride in the front seat of a car until they are at least 12 years old due to risk of injury from air bags. Most cars on the road today have front-impact air bags that expand explosively upon impact. While such air bags are a wonderful lifesaving device for adults, they end up being more harmful than helpful to infant bodies. Infants in a rear-facing car seat should never be placed in the front seat of a car as the impact of an air bag would perhaps be fatal. Infants and younger children will have the happiest and safest ride in the rear center seat of the car. This position affords them the most protection from impacts to any side of the vehicle and keeps little hands away from window, locks, and other buttons.\nOnce babies and small children are safely restrained in the car, there are a few more things caregivers should check before starting up the engine. Often when a parent is transporting one or more children, there is a good chance that one or more children are still around the house or in the neighborhood. Caregivers should always walk around their vehicle to make sure that no children or cherished pets are playing behind or close to the vehicle. Taking this extra step is an inexpensive insurance policy to help insure the safety of all children in the neighborhood. Having determined that the area around the car is clear, another quick scan is appropriate to similarly check on the safety of the car's interior. Heavy objects should be stored in the car's truck and not in the back seat. Also clear the seats and dashboard of smaller objects that could become dangerous flying objects in an accident. Store such objects in the glove compartment, mesh seat holders, in a container in the trunk, or in some other enclosed and fixed storage location.\nOn a more long-term preventative note, check your automatic garage door opener (if there is one in your home). Since 1982, all new automatic garage door openers must be installed with a feature that will automatically raise the door mid-closing if it comes in contact with an object. However, since 1993, all new openers must be installed with an even better feature that uses an invisible light ray to detect objects moving under a closing door and automatically stop the door's downward progress.\nHaving attended to these precautions, caregivers can now roll out of the driveway. However, the safety measures don't end there. Drivers transporting young children should be especially cautious about following all traffic laws and being aware of their surroundings. Caregivers should pay special attention to keeping their focus and attention on the road. This task can be difficult when a young child or multiple young children are present and making noise in the back seat.\nCaregivers' best means of insuring a calm and quiet car trip is to make sure that all children have something to do. Children can be supplied with toys or books that are only for use within the car (so as to better maintain their novelty). Older children may prefer to use a hand-held gaming device to keep themselves occupied. Also, caregivers can play age-appropriate music or encourage an older child to lead a safe car game, like \"I Spy.\" For longer car trips, try driving later at night, in the early morning, or during nap times, when younger children will quickly fall and stay asleep for the ride.\nIf babies become upset and there isn't another passenger to soothe them, or if older children who are fighting or screaming require intervention, the caregiver should pull over the car to handle the situation and not move again until the problem is resolved. Adults should use common sense about where and when they pull over, of course, and great caution must be taken when pulling over on a fast moving highway.\nIt's important to note that caregivers should never leave a baby unattended in a car even if they are only leaving the car for a moment to run into a building or store. Never. Car temperatures can rise and fall quickly, creating extreme conditions that may harm the child. As well, caregivers cannot monitor or protect their child from other people in the vicinity who may wish the child harm if they are not themselves present in the car. Never leave a child unattended in the car.",

        "raw_content": "For laid off workers, so hard to e-mail goodbye\nWASHINGTON \u2014 When Jim Neill got laid off, he sent around a farewell e-mail with a subject line designed to get people\u2019s attention: \u201cFree food in the employee lounge.\u201d\nThen Neill, who had been with the National Association of Manufacturers for years, left \u2019em laughing.\n\u201cThese are tough times and with a young family I\u2019m hunting for employment,\u201d he wrote, \u201cbut you\u2019ll be pleased to know I\u2019ve also begun work on my long-delayed book and instructional DVD \u2018Rhymes with Truck: How to Use Profanity in Every Sentence.'\u201d\nThere\u2019s an art to the goodbye e-mails flooding inboxes as a result of massive layoffs. A few, like Neill\u2019s, are laugh-out-loud funny. Some are bitter flameouts. Some read like brief memos or mysteries with no explanation of the move; others are like lengthy Oscar speeches thanking co-workers.\nWhatever the tone, they are everywhere; more than 45 million Americans were either laid off last year or left their jobs for greener pastures.\nIn the days before company e-mail distribution lists, the task of letting friends and colleagues know about your departure was primarily done by phone or through an interoffice memo written by Human Resources.\nWith the wider reach of e-mail and more casual messages comes some danger: An e-mail will last longer and may pop up into the inbox of unintended recipient.\nLawyer Shinyung Oh\u2019s angry goodbye quickly made rounds of legal blogs. Oh was let go from the Paul Hastings law firm\u2019s San Francisco branch six days after having a miscarriage. She wrote a blistering e-mail accusing the firm of heartlessness, and sent it to all her colleagues.\n\u201cIf this response seems particularly emotional, perhaps an associate\u2019s emotional vulnerability after a recent miscarriage is a factor you should consider the next time you fire or lay someone off,\u201d she wrote.\nOh has since started her own blog but declined to comment on the incident.\nTruly angry flameouts are a rarity for that reason \u2014 most people understand they will whip through the ether at breakneck speed. One scathingly funny goodbye that has been posted on blogs around the world with the subject line \u201cSo long, suckers! I\u2019m out!\u201d turns out to be a hoax, written by comedy writer Chris Kula.\n\u201cFor nearly as long as I\u2019ve worked here, I\u2019ve hoped that I might one day leave this company,\u201d the mock kiss-off reads. \u201cAnd now that this dream has become a reality, please know that I could not have reached this goal without your support.\u201d\nExperts warn against real displays of such anger over concerns that it could hurt a future job search. Many caution against even a hint negativity.\n\u201cDon\u2019t show any bitterness. Don\u2019t complain. Just be positive,\u201d says Donna Flagg, a workplace expert and the President of The Krysalis Group, a business and management consulting firm in New York.\nAt its simplest, the e-mail only needs to let friends and colleagues know you\u2019re leaving and how to reach you. A goodbye handled properly can even help with the job search.\nWhen Kristin Brown lost her job at a mid-size PR firm due to downsizing, she spoke highly of her former employer, attached her resume and asked her contacts to keep her in mind for any openings, \u201cbecause, let\u2019s face it, I\u2019ve become quite attached to having a roof over my head!\u201d\nThe letter seems to have helped; she\u2019s landed several leads and interviews through her former co-workers.\nNeill, who joked about free food in the office lounge, sent a separate, more formal e-mail to outside business contacts, but wanted to lighten the mood inside the office.\n\u201cThere was a lot of tension in the air,\u201d says Neill, who has since landed a job as Vice President of Product Safety for the Retail Industry Leaders Association. \u201cI wanted people to feel comfortable saying goodbye. I didn\u2019t want anyone walking on eggshells around me. Humor seemed the best way to do that.\u201d\nStaying professional doesn\u2019t mean checking your personality at the inbox. Before Pete Seat, a deputy press secretary under President George W. Bush, left the White House, he sent a goodbye e-mail to friends, White House colleagues and journalists.\n\u201cWith most of us embarking on a new personal or professional adventure over the next few weeks and months, remember the words of Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone when he said, \u2018This is it, don\u2019t get scared now.\u2019 That always helps me,\u201d he wrote.\nSeat also included a quote from former press secretary Tony Snow, reminding those who have worked in the White House how special it is. \u201cLeave no room for regrets, for someday, in the not-so-distant future, you will be back where you started: On the sidewalk with the folks, gawking at that grand, glorious, mysterious place \u2014 where Lincoln walks at night, and our highest hopes and dreams reside.\u201d\nWith that, Seat had the e-mail hat trick: His message was lofty, humorous and satisfied his basic need to get his new contact information out.\n\u201cI wanted to have a little bit of fun with it,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a silly line from a silly movie, but it does have a practical point to it. Even in uncertainty, we need to move forward.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "FDA Calling for Public Input into 510 (k) by Sept. 30 Deadline\nHome/FDA News/FDA Calling for Public Input into 510 (k) by Sept. 30 Deadline\nFollowing the release of a controversial new report from the Institute of Medicine on how medical device are cleared for marketing, in many instances bypassing a premarket scientific review for safety, the Food and Drug Administration is calling for public input into the 510(k) clearance process.\nThe IOM report said the FDA should develop a new regulatory framework to replace the 35-year-old 510(k) process because it \u201clacks the legal basis to be a reliable premarket screen of the safety and effectiveness of moderate-risk Class II devices and cannot be transformed into one.\u201d\nThe 510 (k) process allows medical devices to be cleared for marketing if the manufacturer claims the device is \u201csubstantially similar\u201d to a device already on the market. Even if that \u201cpredicate\u201d device has been recalled because of safety concerns, the devices that relied on it for approval do not have to be revisited. Since 510 (k) was established in the mid 1970\u2019s new plastics, computer components, and materials have been developed, but many of today\u2019s device makers still claim to be substantially similar to devices of the past. The 510 (k) process gets a product to market faster and without the costly premarket review for safety.\nThe IOM believes the old 510(k) should be scrapped and a new framework developed that uses premarket clearance and postmarket surveillance of medical devices to make sure they are performing as promised.\nHere is the Federal Register calling for public input into 510(k).\nThe FDA adds in the Federal Register that this public docket does not mean it endorses the conclusions of the IOM.\nPublic comment must be submitted by September 30, 2011. #\nBy Jane Akre|2011-08-04T13:46:00+00:00August 4th, 2011|FDA News|0 Comments",

        "raw_content": "[Competition Closed] MHM 84 Quiz: Win a copy of Their Finest on DVD!\nThis month, three lucky readers have the chance to win a copy of stellar war-movie Their Finest.\nThe year is 1940. London is enduring the Blitz. With the country\u2019s morale at stake, inexperienced screenwriter Catrin (Gemma Arterton) and a makeshift cast and crew work under fire to produce a film to lift the country\u2019s flagging spirits and inspire America to join the war.\nCapturing the spirit of a nation at war, irresistible British comedy drama Their Finest tells the story of one woman who must navigate the complexities of movie production, the stiff upper lips of government, and her own romantic entanglements.\nIn partnership with fellow screenwriter Buckley (Sam Claflin), Catrin sets off to make a film that will warm the hearts of the nation while navigating the constant threat of the Blitz, limited resources, and the demands of gloriously egotistical actor, Ambrose Hilliard (Bill Nighy).\nBased on the novel Their Finest Hour and a Half by Lissa Evans, Their Finest is brought to the screen with aplomb by acclaimed director Lone Scherfig and the Oscar-nominated producers of Brooklyn and Carol. It is a witty, engaging, and powerful portrayal of a young woman finding her voice amid the mayhem of war.\nTheir Finest is available on digital platforms from 14 August 2017, and on Blu-ray and DVD from 21 August 2017.\nPrevious article MHM 83 \u2013 August 2017\nNext article Battle Maps: Passchendaele, 1917",

        "raw_content": "Nine Soldiers Named to 2014 US Olympic Team\nAmerican Forces Press Service | By Tim Hipps\nCOLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. \u2013 Nine soldiers in the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program are members of the U.S. Olympic Team that will compete at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, scheduled for Feb. 7 through 23 in Sochi, Russia.\nThe U.S. Olympic Committee officially announced the team today.\nThe soldier-athletes named to Team USA are 2010 Olympic gold medalist in four-man bobsled Sgt. Justin Olsen, 26, of San Antonio; 2010 Olympic bobsledder Capt. Christopher Fogt, 30, of Alpine, Utah; 2010 Olympic bobsledder Sgt. Nick Cunningham, 27, of Monterey, Calif.; bobsledder Sgt. Dallas Robinson, 31, of Georgetown, Ky.; 2006 Olympic luger Sgt. Preston Griffall, 29, of Salt Lake City; and luger Sgt. Matt Mortensen, 28, of Huntington Station, N.Y.\nThree WCAP coaches also will represent the U.S. Army in Russia. Team USA luge coach Staff Sgt. Bill Tavares, 50, of Lake Placid, N.Y., will be making his sixth appearance in the Olympics, including once as an athlete and five times as a coach. Team USA skeleton coach Sgt. 1st Class Tuffield \u201cTuffy\u201d Latour, 45, of Saranac Lake, N.Y., will make his fourth trip to the Olympics. He has coached U.S. and Canadian men\u2019s and women\u2019s bobsledders to Olympic medals. Team USA assistant bobsled coach 1st Lt. Michael Kohn, 41, of Myrtle Beach, S.C., is a two-time Olympic competitor who will make his Olympic coaching debut at the Sochi Games. He won a bronze medal in four-man bobsled as a WCAP athlete at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City.\nUSA-1 bobsled driver Steven Holcomb, 33, of Park City, Utah, is the reigning Olympic champion in the four-man event. He spent seven years in the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program.\nThe 230-member team is comprised of 105 women and 125 men \u2013 the largest athlete delegation for any nation in the history of the Olympic Winter Games. The United States will be represented in all 15 disciplines across seven sports, and up to 94 of the 98 medal events that will be contested in Sochi.\n\u201cWe are thrilled to announce the 230 athletes who will represent Team USA in Sochi,\u201d said USOC CEO Scott Blackmun. \u201cThis is the largest team we have ever sent to an Olympic Winter Games, and I\u2019d like to commend all of those who helped support our athletes in the pursuit of their Olympic dreams.\n\u201cMost of all,\u201d he continued, \u201cthis is a time to celebrate our athletes, who have made countless sacrifices and dedicated themselves to being their best, both on and off the ice and snow. I am very excited to watch them compete as they represent our nation with excellence and distinction on the world stage.\u201d\nThe 2014 U.S. Olympic Team features 106 returning Olympians \u2013 including one five-time Olympian, two four-time Olympians, 10 three-time Olympians and 23 two-time Olympians. Returning from the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, where the U.S. finished first in the overall medal count with 37 medals, are 99 U.S. Olympians. Overall, among the veterans are 49 Olympic medalists, 13 of whom are Olympic champions.\nNordic combined skier Todd Lodwick becomes the first American to compete at six Olympic Winter Games. The two U.S. Olympians headed to their fifth Olympic Games are Billy Demong (Nordic combined) and Bode Miller (alpine skiing). Only four other athletes in U.S. Olympic history, including Lodwick, have competed in five or more Olympic Winter Games.\nAdditionally, women\u2019s bobsled push athletes Lolo Jones \u2013 a two-time Olympic hurdler \u2013 and Lauryn Williams \u2013 a three-time Olympic sprinter \u2013 become the ninth and 10th Americans to compete at both the winter and summer editions of the Olympic Games.\nHighlighting this list of accomplished U.S. men\u2019s athletes are Miller and long track speedskater Shani Davis. A five-time Olympic medalist, Miller needs three medals to match U.S. short track speedskater Apolo Anton Ohno as the most decorated U.S. Olympian in history on the winter side.\nDavis is making his fourth Olympic appearance after winning consecutive Olympic gold and silver medals in the 1,000- and 1,500-meter events in 2006 and 2010. Both Davis and snowboarder Shaun White will have the opportunity to become the first American man to win three gold medals in the same event at consecutive Olympic Winter Games.\nHeadlining the list of U.S. women\u2019s athletes are three-time Olympic medalists Julie Chu (ice hockey) and Julia Mancuso (alpine skiing). Mancuso already is the most decorated U.S. Olympic female alpine skier, with one gold medal and two silver medals, while Chu is looking to help Team USA reclaim the top podium spot for the first time since women\u2019s ice hockey debuted at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games.\n\u201cThis distinguished group of athletes represents the largest delegation in the history of the Olympic Winter Games, which is a true testament to the growing number of winter sport opportunities across the United States,\u201d said Alan Ashley, chief of the U.S. mission and USOC\u2019s chief of sport performance. \u201cWith 106 returning Olympians, this year\u2019s team is an exceptional blend of youth and experience, and represents the finest our nation has to offer. During the Games, we will continue to support our athletes, coaches and National Governing Bodies in every way possible to succeed.\u201d\nThe 2014 U.S. Olympic Team roster may still be adjusted due to injury, illness or exceptional circumstances up to the technical meetings for each sport.",

The fact that this particular brand has been in the industry for over 30 long years now, a lot of people are already comfortable with buying products that they are offering when it comes to air conditioners.\nThe good thing about this particular brand or company is that they are truly taking into consideration how their users will feel like even during the harshest weather conditions. Because of this, they really take their time into building a particular that they have to be able to fully satisfy the needs of the users. In addition to giving people the best quality of performance, the users should not worry too much about the cost of the electricity that they need to pay for in the end because the air conditioners from LG are able to preserve and minimize the amount of energy that they will use up in the process of using them. Only a few brands are able to do this at this point in the market; this is practically the reason why people are not thinking twice if they should stick to the products of LG or not.\nMost importantly, the units from this particular company have been designed in such a way that an inverter has already been integrated into its system. What these inverters do is that they control the unit of the air conditioner depending on a specific frequency level; this means that you do not need to check up on your air conditioner every so often just to check if adjustments must be made to it because the unit can do that for itself. Because a lot of people have become so dependent on the benefits that technology is able to give them, they get truly amazed by this feature that LG air conditioners are capable of letting them experience",

        "raw_content": "Holland housing partnerships align to fix abandoned homes\nPress file photoImproved home: HomeCor executive director Amy Alderink demonstrates a new energy-efficient window last year in a renovated home in the 900 block of Lincoln Avenue in Holland.\nHOLLAND \u2014 Three nonprofit organizations are partnering with the city to buy and fix up abandoned or foreclosed homes in the Midtown neighborhood.\nLakeshore Habitat for Humanity, Jubilee Ministries Inc., and HomeCor will take part in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which is being made possible by a $404,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority.\nThe three nonprofits are seeking to buy up to five homes in an area bordered by Washington and Central avenues and 15th and 19th streets.\nThey cannot invest more than $100,000, between purchase and rehabilitation on any house, City Manager Soren Wolff said.\nIn some respects, the program is similar to one the city and two of the nonprofits have been working on the past couple of years.\nThrough that program, the city purchases a foreclosed U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-financed home for $1, then sells it to the\nnonprofit to rehabilitate and put on the market.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the same end result \u2014 the goal of getting abandoned and foreclosed homes back as owner occupied,\u201d said Amy Alderink, executive director of HomeCor.\nThe agency purchased a foreclosed home from the city in the 900 block of Lincoln Avenue, then invested about $35,000 in improvements before selling the home last\nAugust to a family that is now living there.\nEach of the nonprofits will try to market its homes to specific buyer markets.\nLakeshore Habitat will sell its homes to buyers who are at 50 percent of Holland\u2019s median income, which was $44,620, according to 2007 U.S. Census estimates.\nJubilee Ministries will seek buyers with 60 to 80 percent of the median income range. HomeCor will target buyers with up to 120 percent of the median income.\n\u201cBy using three different organizations, we can get started on three different projects immediately,\u201d Community and Neighborhood Services Director Phil Meyer said.\nBuyers would finance the purchases through the Michigan State Housing Development Authority with an 80 percent first mortgage and a 20 percent second mortgage, with the latter canceled after the buyer has lived in the home 10 years.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity for us to help people buy homes,\u201d said Sue Harder, Ourstreet program coordinator.\nThe Neighborhood Stabilization Program is one of two programs Lakeshore Habitat is participating with receiving federal funding.\nIn addition, the Lakeshore chapter is receiving a $208,000 share of a nearly $1.9 million grant submitted by a consortium of Habitat chapters across Michigan, including Kent County and Kalamazoo.\nA portion of those funds will be used to fix up a former HUD-foreclosed home at 351 W. 19th St., which Habitat purchased from the city last year, with remaining funds to be used to buy and fix up four more homes, Habitat Business Manager Jill Miller said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a direction we want to go in. There are certainly plenty of abandoned and foreclosed homes in our community.\u201d\nWhile no timetable has been set, Alderink says the city and nonprofits are \u201cmotivated to move as soon as possible\u201d on acquiring homes.\nWolff says having the non-profits take care of the purchase and fixing up homes relieves the city of the responsibility. It also provides more opportunities for home ownership.\n\u201cWe think this is the best way to do these type of projects,\u201d he said.\nE-mail the author of this story: lakeshore@grpress.com",

Wearing a long blue dress and a giant hat, she takes her books out for a walk in a wheelbarrow and shows the children that reading can be fun and useful. Sometimes she is so caught up in the magic of the stories she shares with her audience that she forgets all sense of reality - so much so that one dayshe loses consciousness and the children must find a way to bring her back.\nThe second in Dominique Demers's popular The Adventures of Miss Charlotte series, The Mysterious Librarian, brilliantly illustrated by Tony Ross, is a wonderful story about the magical and inspiring power of books.\nA former professor and journalist in her native Canada, Dominique Demers is the successful author of over fifty books for children, young adults and adults.\nAuthor : Dominique Demers; Tony Ross (Illustrator); Sander Berg (Translator)",

        "title": "How We Helped David Save His Apartment Building | Maryland Foreclosure Lawyer",
        "raw_content": "Maryland Foreclosure Lawyer Edward Gonzalez Home\nContact McLean, Virginia Bankruptcy Lawyer Edward Gonzalez\nHow We Helped David Save His Apartment Building\nNOTE: The names have been changed to protect client confidentiality . . . and also to make for a more interesting story.\nLike many real estate investors during the bubble, David succumbed to the temptation of easy credit and took on more mortgage debt than he could handle.\nHe had a nice 15-unit apartment building with more than $100,000 in equity, but he thought he could grow his empire by branching off into commercial buildings.\nThat was Mistake #1: Commercial landlording is very different from residential. With fifteen units, he could lose one tenant and still have more than enough to pay the mortgage. Not so with small single-tenant commercial. In fact, to a large extent, the landlord is banking on the success of the small business itself. It was easy enough to get a loan. It was not so easy for David to find steady, reliable commercial tenants. He fell behind and soon his commercial property, the mortgage on which he personally guaranteed, was heading to foreclosure.\nMistake #2: Without consulting an attorney, and ever optimistic, he agreed with Goliath Bank, his commercial lender, to what he thought was a forbearance agreement to stop the foreclosure and get a payment plan that would give him some time to catch up. In fact, it was also a cross-collaterization agreement. He put his valuable apartment building up as additional collateral on a commercial building that was severely devalued against its own mortgage. He fell behind again. Goliath Bank, of course, now moved to foreclose on the apartment building -- the only building with real equity.\nThe wolf was at his door when he came to us. Given that his personal secured debt exceeded the then $1,081,400 limit for Chapter 13, we decided he would have to file a personal Chapter 11 case to stop the foreclosure and reorganize his finances to where his existing cash flow could service the debt.\nWe gathered all the financial documentation he had to calculate his income and expenses and make an accurate determination of his cash flow. We then hired real estate appraisers to value his apartment building, as well as several single-family rental houses he and his wife held. Based on that cash flow, and the valuations, we would make decisions as to what property he would keep, what he would surrender back to the bank holding its mortgage, and which loans would be restructured in his plan of reorganization.\nEarly on, we could see this was going to be a contentious and litigated bankruptcy case. Goliath Bank's attorney was present, and asking pointed questions, at the initial creditor's meeting. (This doesn't often happen.) Barely a couple months into the case, while David was still doing the legwork of getting property valuations done, compiling financial data and getting his legal documents analyzed, Goliath Bank moved to \"lift the stay,\" asking the court to remove the apartment building from bankruptcy court protection so it could proceed with foreclosure.\nArguments were made by us that the bank did not have grounds to lift the stay. But we also showed the court that, based on preliminary information, a successful reorganization was likely, and there was a likelihood of a significant pay-out to unsecured creditors. Removing the apartment building from the estate of this debtor, on balance, would do more harm than good to everyone involved in the case. The judge, signaling his intention to deny the bank's motion completely, ordered a brief recess for settlement discussions. Goliath Bank settled for a nominal interim payment on its claim (known as \"adequate protection\") pending finalization of the case.\nThis, however, would not be the end of the battle with Goliath Bank. Over the year-long progress of the case, the bank's attorney brought additional motions, including one to \"dismiss or convert\" the case to a liquidation in Chapter 7, and also threatened to contest David's valuation of the apartment building.\nIn the end, based on the financial information we developed and shared with all creditors, a plan of reorganization was presented and approved by all \"classes\" of creditors in the case, making confirmation by the judge almost a mere formality.\nDavid kept his apartment building (and a couple other single-family homes where the rent exceeded the restructured mortgage) on commercial loan terms that prevailed in the market at the time, and which was affordable to him. The secured creditors ended up with a performing loan and a percentage of the unsecured portion of the original debt -- a much better deal than they would have gotten if the apartment building had been foreclosed upon, or sold off in Chapter 7.\nHow We Helped David Save His Apartment Building | Maryland Foreclosure Lawyer",

Naturally, the SUV will also benefit from the usual handling upgrades to make sure it can handle the extra power.\nAs for the possible i20 N hatch, the Korean company feels that it needs a proper Ford Fiesta ST and Renault Clio R.S. rival. Set to debut next year, it will be blessed with the classic modern hot hatch formula: a electronic differential, front-wheel drive and a turbocharged engine that will produce more than 200bhp.\nJamesc Feb 04 2019 11:52 PM\nI give this car A1 for styling.",

        "raw_content": "Take a new view of the debt snowball\nJust as there is no diet that works for everyone, the best and fastest way to reduce debt is whatever works for you. We all have different stories about how we got into debt and different personality traits will call for different strategies to get out. The good news is any of these plans will create financial freedom.\nThe most commonly advised debt reduction strategy is called the \u201csnowball.\u201d Specifically, picture a snowball rolling down the hill and getting bigger. Usually you\u2019ve seen that snowball as debt crashing down upon you. Instead, see yourself launching the snowball down the hill, watching it take out bigger chunks of your debt.\nThe first step is to add up your monthly payments and figure out how much extra you can spend on at least one of the debts. Then, pick one of two ways to apply the snowball.\nLet\u2019s say you have six credit cards, with balances from $500 to $10,000. The fastest way to paying off all the cards, assuming you can follow this, is to pay off the card with the highest interest rate first. That might not be the one with the lowest or highest balance. Whatever extra you pay means the less interest you\u2019ll pay later. Once you have that card paid off, that\u2019s when the snowballing begins. Whatever you were paying on that card, now apply it to the card with the next highest interest rate.\nFor example, say you were paying $75 a month on a card that you recently paid off. Take that $75 and, continuing the example, add it every month to the next card you are paying off. If that payment was $25 a month, it\u2019s now $100 a month. You keep doing that with your debts and before long you start seeing a big difference in how much you owe.\nThe challenge for many people is that they need to see a zero on a credit card balance sooner to stay motivated. That\u2019s a big club; so don\u2019t feel bad if this describes you. If that is you, instead of going after the highest interest rate, focus first on the card with the lowest balance. Add something extra beyond the minimum to pay it off quicker. Before long you\u2019ll see the zero you wanted to see and can apply what you were paying on that bill to the next one. By the time you snowball to the last card your payment will be so huge it will be hard not to see the difference. While this strategy is somewhat slower, there is a psychological benefit to that zero.\nOther things to bear in mind while you do this is to apply any extra money you get to debt, helping you enlarge the snowball faster than planned. If you need more explanation about the snowball, or anything related to credit counseling, talk to an American Financial Solutions credit counselor. Most counseling is free, so chances are good you won\u2019t be adding another bill just by talking to someone who can help.",

At no time was President Buhari, as a private person, ever forbidden from entering any country in the world. Rather, the rest of the world has always held Muhammadu Buhari as a man of sterling qualities, strong on integrity, transparency and accountability. The same testimony is still borne of the Nigerian President by many world leaders today.\nIt is curious that former VP Abubakar had been asked why he had not visited America for over a decade, something that had been a stubborn fact dogging his footsteps. Instead of answering directly, he begged the question, saying Buhari also had been disallowed from entering the same country for 15 years, before becoming President.\nWe hereby make it resoundingly clear that what the former Vice President said only exists in the realm of his imagination. If he has issues to settle with American authorities, he should do so, rather than clutch at a straw.",

File photo by The Canadian Press/Adrian Wyld\nDefence Minister Harjit Sajjan says he was heartened to see Conservative MPs denouncing a hateful Facebook post that targeted him.\nThe \"Okanagan Conservatives\" posted a photo and a link to a critical news article about Sajjan on their page, along with the comment: \"This is what happens when you have a cabinet based on affirmative action.\"\nSajjan said when he saw the post he was surprised and disappointed.\n\"This type of language has no place in Canada. I was heartened also at the same time to see that Conservative MPs have stepped forward, apologized and denounced this type of wording and discussion,\" Sajjan said in Halifax Friday morning.\nManitoba Conservative MP James Bezan, the party's defence critic, tweeted that he was disgusted. Bezan said Sajjan is a respected veteran who proudly served Canada and deserves nothing less than gratitude for his service as a soldier and as defence minister, even if the two don't always agree on policy.\nConservative MP Dan Albas, who represents Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola, wrote on Twitter that the post came from another riding association's account and he asked that it be removed. He said although he did not authorize it, he would like to apologize to Sajjan.\nLast night the Okanagan Conservatives took to Facebook again, but this time to apologize to Sajjan and those who were offended.\nThe group says it deleted the post, that it was inappropriate and that it does not reflect the views of the party or any of the riding associations in the Okanagan.\n\"At the end of the day this is not about me or cabinet, it's about what type of message are we sending young Canadians,\" Sajjan said.\nSajjan also pointed out that he will be having dinner Friday night at Pier 21, the very place that welcomed people from around the world.\nWhen asked how Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer should respond to the group's post, Sajjan said all leaders should work to promote inclusiveness and make sure Canadians feel safe.\nLiberals not ruling out joining U.S. on ballistic missile defence: Sajjan\nBy Lee Berthiaume in News, Politics | October 5th 2017\nCanada won't be rushed into peacekeeping mission: Sajjan\nBy Lee Berthiaume in News, Politics | September 13th 2017\nSajjan blasts Boeing in defence industry speech over trade spat with Bombardier\nBy Mike Blanchfield in News, Politics | May 31st 2017",

        "raw_content": "Pigments Composition and Permanence\nRublev Colours Pigments Composition and Permanence\nThe Composition and Permanence tables in the description of Rublev Colours Pigments provide important information on the composition, characteristics and permanence of Rublev Colours dry powder pigments. Using the tables helps you to choose colors based on how they will appear as well as how long lasting the finished artwork will be and by understanding exactly what\u2019s in your paint, you can be sure to create the highest quality painting.\nThe term \u2018permanence\u2019 is used here to mean the quality of lasting or remaining unchanged indefinitely. This does not imply that it will remain unchanged forever, but rather for a long period of time that cannot be measured.\nThe common names of the pigment are provided in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.\nSynonyms for the pigment in historical or modern usage are provided in English and other languages.\nThe nomenclature includes the common name of the pigment or mineral, the name of the primary mineral or mineral equivalent of the pigment and the geographical source of the pigment or mineral. If a pigment is synthetic it is not derived from a native mineral, but the equivalent of the natural mineral is given.\nThe color of the pigment.\nPigment Classification\nThis is a classification of the pigment type. Pigments can be classified as being either Synthetic or Natural and Organic or Inorganic. For example, Lead White is Synthetic and Inorganic. Yellow ocher is Natural and Inorganic.\nEach pigment can be universally identified by its Colour Index Name. As an example: Cobalt Blue is Pigment Blue 28, abbreviated to PB 28.\nColour Index Names of the pigments allow you to cross reference the working properties in other sources if you wish, e.g. lightfastness, opacity, toxicity, etc. It is also necessary to fully identify some of the modern pigments, for example, the disclosure of a pigment as Naphthol Red is insufficient because there are over a dozen different types, differing widely in lightfastness and opacity.\nChemical Name or Composition\nThis row provides the chemical name or description of the principal colorant in the pigment or the pigment itself.\nThis is the common formula of the principal colorant in the pigment or the pigment itself.\nThis row provides the CAS Number of the principal colorant in the pigment or the pigment itself. The CAS Registry Number, also referred to as CASRN or CAS Number, is a unique numerical identifier assigned by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) to every chemical substance described in scientific literature (currently including those described from at least 1957 through the present), including organic and inorganic compounds, minerals, isotopes, alloys and nonstructurable materials.\nThe Series number indicates the relative price of the pigment. Series 1 is the least expensive and Series 5 is the most expensive. Series 7 pigments are historical or rare pigments with pricing that ranges above series 1 through 5.\nLightfastness is shown with an ASTM rating for the pigment in three different paint vehicles: Oils, Acrylics and Watercolors. The ASTM abbreviation stands for the American Society for Testing and Materials. This organization has set standards for the performance of art materials including a color\u2019s lightfastness.\nTo measure lightfastness using this system, colors are reduced to a level of 40% reflectance by the addition of titanium white, except for watercolors, which relies on the white paper. This means the amount of light reflected from the color swatch. The swatches are then tested in both sunlight and artificially accelerated conditions.\nThe swatches are measured with an instrument before and after exposure to light and the difference is calculated. Based on these calculations swatches are assigned different lightfastness categories. For example, pigments that exhibit a mean color change of 4.0 or less \u0394E*ab are assigned to Lightfastness Category I; pigments with a mean color change of more than 4.0 but not more than 8.0 \u0394E*ab to Lightfastness Category II; and so on. In this system I is the highest lightfastness available and V is the lowest, though both ratings I and II are considered permanent for artists\u2019 use.\nWhere no ASTM rating is given for a pigment, it is labeled as \u2018N/L\u2019 meaning \u201cNot Listed\u201d, this usually indicates that the pigment has not yet been tested by the ASTM. It does not necessarily indicate a lack of lightfastness.\nThe mean or average particle size of the pigment. Particles of pigments are actually an ensemble (collection) of different particle sizes, making them polydisperse, which means that the particles in an ensemble have different sizes. The notion of particle size distribution reflects this polydispersity. There are several different ways of defining the particle sizes, including median size, geometric mean size, and average size. The size represented in this row is the average or mean particle size of the ensemble of pigment particles.\nDensity is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given unit volume (density = mass/volume). For pigments it is usually expressed in g/cm3. Put simply, if mass is a measure of how much 'stuff' there is in an object, density is a measure of how tightly that 'stuff' is packed together.\nIf available the Mohs hardness of the pigment is shown. The Mohs scale of mineral hardness is a qualitative ordinal scale that characterizes the scratch resistance of various minerals through the ability of a harder material to scratch a softer material.\nIn this row the refractive index of the pigment is indicated. In optics the refractive index or index of refraction n of an optical medium is a dimensionless number that describes how light propagates through that medium. It is defined as n = c/v where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the phase velocity of light in the medium.\nThe quantity of oil required to wet completely a definite weight of pigment to form a stiff paste when mechanically mixed. The oil absorption number or value of a pigment is the number of milliliters or grams of oil, usually refined linseed oil, used to bind together 100 grams of pigment under specified conditions of test. The unit used is grams of oil for each 100 grams of pigment. The figure is not absolute, but depends on the operator as well as on the method of determination. The term \u201coil absorption\u201d is frequently used as a measure of plastic viscosity. As such it can lead to unpredictable results, since oil absorption as measured bears little relation to finished mill-ground pigment dispersion. Oil absorption has meaning of a qualitative sort, however, in relation to a preliminary mixer operation.",

I believe this year is a year of significant advancement or moving forward as the body of Christ tears down walls of division and religion. Job says this, \u201cThe righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.\u201d 2014 is a year of moving forward, not retreating. Here are some things in this year of moving forward that we'll have to keep before us:\n1. HIM - Colossians 1:15-23, it is all about Jesus, we have to always have Him before us. It truly is all about Him.\n2. Releasing the past - Isaiah 43:18,19 - Don't keep stuck in the mud of this past year, move on! Let God heal any hurts, wounds, offenses and then embrace the new thing He is doing.\n3. Denial of self - Luke 9:23 - this is a daily process that we all must face. \"Not my will Father, but yours be done today\"\n4. Hope - Isaiah 40:31 - Hope will be imperative for the advancing and movement of the body of Christ. Without it faith and love will falter. Hope is the anticipation and expectation of good from God in ALL circumstances or situations. Hope is the spring board to our faith and love (Col. 1:5).\n5. Endurance - Hebrews 12:1-3 - Remember the movie \"Forest Gump?\" Remeber the line in the movie, \"run Forest run?\" This year is not a sprint it's a marathon, we run with perseverance and endurance, and we throw off all the sins that so easily entangle us. The race has been marked out for us, we just need to go back to NUMBER #1 and keep our eyes on Jesus.\nI believe that 2014 is a year of movement and advancement for families, the Next Generation and the Church.",

        "raw_content": "US Won't Hesitate to Impose Sanctions Over Fuel to N. Korea\n(VOA): The U.S. State Department said Saturday that Washington would not wait to impose sanctions on any shippers helping to get fuel to North Korea, in\nan apparent warning to Russia days after the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations accused Moscow of cheating on the measures.\nNorth Korea continues to employ tactics to evade U.N. sanctions, Heather Nauert, the State Department spokeswoman, said in a statement, adding that U.N. member states are required to prohibit ship-to-ship transfers of petroleum fuel to the country.\n\u201cThe United States will not hesitate to impose sanctions on any individual, entity or vessel supporting North Korea's illicit activities, regardless of nationality,\u201d Nauert said.\nThe 15-member U.N. Security Council has unanimously boosted sanctions on North Korea since 2006 in a bid to choke off funding for Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.\nBut the United States and Russia have recently shown cracks in the unity of the council over the sanctions.\nWashington has \u201cevidence of consistent and wide-ranging Russian violations\u201d of the sanctions, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said Monday.\nRussia was helping North Korea illegally obtain fuel through transfers at sea, had refused to expel a North Korean whom the Security Council blacklisted last year, and had pushed for changes to an independent U.N. report on sanctions violations to cover up breaches by Russians, she said.\nRussia blames Haley\nRussia said after Haley's comments that Moscow had not pressured the authors of the U.N. report, and it blamed Haley for heightening tensions.\nWith the warning on fuel shipments, the Trump administration signaled it was keeping pressure on Pyongyang even after saying there has been progress.\nPresident Donald Trump this week hailed a summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, and said there had been \u201ctremendous progress\u201d with North Korea on several fronts,\nincluding Pyongyang's denuclearization.\nWashington has tracked 148 cases this year of tankers delivering fuel to North Korea in breach of a U.N. cap of 500,000 barrels a year. Haley has not said how many of those transfers may have involved Russia.\nBoth Russia and China have suggested the Security Council discuss easing sanctions after Trump and Kim met in June and Kim pledged to work toward denuclearization.\nU.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday that the United States was working to set up another summit between Trump and Kim after their unprecedented meeting in Singapore, but that there was still work to do.",

        "raw_content": "Cyber security and the future of driverless cars\nCar hacking, security flaws and trust - could they stand in the way of driverless cars?\nHead of Technology Futures\nHarry currently leads Nesta\u2019s futures work, exploring the potential impacts of emerging technology and innovations, like Artificial Intelligence, on industry, society and the economy...\nCar manufacturers have been bruised from recent hacking conferences. Digital security is not something they have historically had to deal so it\u2019s not surprising they are experiencing a few (rough) bumps in the road. No security system is ever perfect but some of the glaring flaws found in a number of cars and Internet of Things (IoT) devices is a little worrying. As more and more cars and other devices start connecting to the internet and each other the security challenge is only getting bigger.\nDriverless cars are almost with us but as we put our lives in the hands of the car, potential security threats start to look very scary. After the discovery of fundamental flaws in one of its systems Fiat Chrysler recalled 1.5 million vehicles but some worry the Wired stunt has done more to damage the relationship between the security research field and car companies. Car manufacturers and other IoT vendors are not used to working with the cyber security community and may already be a little suspicious. Volkswagen even sought to prevent vulnerability information from being published. Things are changing and many companies are starting to take more notice. Tesla are even encouraging researchers to expose more flaws with a bounty and Uber has just hired the two hackers who exposed the Fiat Chrysler flaw. The more of this that happens the better.\nMobile apps and cloud services represent a particularly vulnerable element in the connected ecosystem. Access to vehicles has been gained through mobile apps for BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Fiat Chrysler cars and cloud services present another potentially easy way in. It is attacks through connected car services like Fiat Chrysler\u2019s Uconnect that allow hackers to gain access to the car from any secure internet connection. 3G and 4G connections are notoriously difficult to secure and are easy to take control of.\nInternal security is also part of the issue. The ease with which you can go from connecting to the car to controlling different elements like the brakes or acceleration is part of the problem. In most cars these elements are not fully connected, providing some incidental security and preventing hackers from accessing some of the vital car operations. It\u2019s not just about gaining control of the car either, a hacker could use any unwanted access to gain information from the car about where it is, what it\u2019s doing and even personal information.\nDriverless cars will run on many more software systems all directly connected to the important bits of the car. Reliance on more external sensors will open up new vulnerabilities. Someone may not even need to hack into the car directly, they may be able to cause as much damage simply by blocking the car's sensors or flooding it with miss information. LiDAR sensors that the LUTZ pathfinder pods, Google\u2019s driverless car and many other AVs rely on can be easily tricked into thinking there are objects in the way when they don\u2019t actually exist.\nIn any computer system as the number of lines of code goes up so do the number of bugs that can be exploited. At the moment the newest cars on the market operate with around 100 million lines of code, but truly autonomous cars will have several magnitudes more than this to operate. The number of critical systems will also increase, it would only take one operation to fail or be disrupted for a fatal accident to happen.\n\"Cybercrime is a business after all and if there isn\u2019t a profit to be made through hacking cars, people won\u2019t do it.\"\nI would say worried and vocal enough to make sure the situation changes and the sector matures but you shouldn\u2019t be losing sleep over it. Cybercrime is a business after all and if there isn\u2019t a profit to be made through hacking cars, people won\u2019t do it. At the moment there seems to little financial motivation which is good news. That\u2019s not to say a few people won\u2019t try to cause disruption simply because they can, but the greater the obstacles and better the failsafes the less likely it is to happen. In the end if someone really wants to take control of your connected car and has the means, they probably will. Equally if someone wants to cut your brakes they can. The only difference is now someone might be able to do it from anywhere in the world rather than having to get their hands dirty.\nPerhaps a more attractive target for hackers is accessing data through the car, particularly personal information that could either be sold or used to turn a profit in some other way. How car manufacturers respond to security and software issues will decide how much trust customers place in connected - if they get it wrong it won\u2019t be good for a driverless car revolution.\nThis is the first in a series of blogs on driverless cars, the next will explore the technology and trials that are paving the way for driverless cars. Cyber security was explored further in a recent Hot topics event.\nPhoto credit (main image): myinternetbiz\nPhoto Credit (Google car): Lokan Sardari on Flickr CC",

        "raw_content": "Using network science to explain the where, why and how.\nScrolling through the Twitter feed even before opening the window blinds. Sharing photos of today\u2019s breakfast on Instagram. Sending happy birthday stickers to friends on Facebook. Emailing colleagues and setting up calls through Skype. Getting home with Uber and ordering dinner with Deliveroo. The digital world is filled with interactions between individuals and among users and companies.\nResearchers have long tried to explain human behaviour using the traces our steps leave in the digital space [1]. Those working in the field of network science represent our digital interactions as networks with distinct entities called nodes which are connected with an edge if they are somehow related.\nThe digital traces we leave behind are stored in massive databases, harnessed by the online places where we spend our clicks. Here, I discuss how the corners of the World Wide Web that gather most of our clicks came to be at its centre, what the impact on the digital economy might be and why policy makers should use new tools from network science to track economic development and implement new policies.\nThe rise of platform economy\nIn 1959 Erdos and Renyi formulated two models that generate random graphs [2], meaning that every new item has an equal probability to connect with any node on an existing graph. Decades later, Barabasi and Albert came up with a different structure, the scale-free network, which could explain how real networks, such as biological ecosystems, are formed [3]. They showed that scale-free networks add nodes using a preferential attachment mechanism which describes our tendency to connect with nodes that already have a high connectivity. In 1999, Bianconi and Barabasi showed that there is also another mechanism at play, fitness, which describes the inherent competitive factor a node may have, enabling latecomers in a network to acquire links at a faster rate than the older nodes.\nLet\u2019s demystify these processes with an example. Suppose there are two kinds of nodes, social networking platforms and users. Now draw a link between every user and the platform a person is using. Preferential attachment indicates that there is a high probability for a new user to connect with the most popular social network, meaning the one that already has the most users. To explain fitness, suppose that a new platform enters the network and provides some novel, very appealing features. This new entry will attract new users even without having as large installed user base as its established competitors.\nDue to these processes, new entrants are not connected to existing nodes uniformly, but in a way that older nodes with some desirable characteristics are preferred. As Barabasi and his colleagues showed, the degree distribution in scale-free networks follows a power law, meaning that there are a few nodes, also called hubs, that are connected with a significant proportion of the total nodes, while the rest of them acquire only a few links.\nFigure 1. Power law degree distribution of scale-free networks.\nBy empirically studying the structure of the World Wide Web, Barabasi and his colleagues showed that it is a scale-free network. Today, its main hubs are the online locations we visit on a daily basis such as Google, Facebook, Amazon and Uber.\nAll of the above companies are platforms but their business models vary. Google and Facebook are advertising platforms specialising in targeted ads but using different mechanisms for it, while Uber is a lean, asset-less platform. Amazon, best known as an e-commerce giant, also has activities expanding in cloud computing, brick and mortar stores, artificial intelligence and crowdsourcing marketplaces.\nWhat makes these platforms stand out of the competition and be central hubs in a network of almost two billion nodes is their ability to transform our interactions with them into the most valuable resource of the information age; Data. By providing a seemingly free product or giving access to a marketplace with an abundance of choices, these platforms collect our data to increase their fitness by optimising their algorithms and offering better services. The improved services attract more users which leads to an increased data generation and thus, even more users. The mechanisms of scale-free networks can be observed here. Due to network effects, popular platforms attract more users, while their large user base improves their services and therefore, increases their fitness.\nAfter connecting to a platform, its goal is to increase the time we spend on it in order to generate even more data which could be seen as increasing the edge weight between a user and a platform. However, this has some implications. Our attention span is a limited resource and has to be shared across platforms that satisfy different needs. This leads to companies that seemingly work on different markets converge and compete on multiple fronts due to their hunger for additional links. Google and Uber are developing self-driving cars, Amazon and Google offer cloud computing services, home assistants and other kinds of hardware. All of them compete on artificial intelligence innovations.\nThis competition might be beneficial in the short term, providing a variety of products and improved services to the users, however, the long term impact could be worrisome. Instead of having a whole, densely connected network of users and platforms, users might start spending increasingly more time on a single platform that satisfies the majority of their needs, drop most of their connections to other platforms and consume content and services of a single provider. Consequently, the World Wide Web is slowly transformed from a web for rich interactions and on everything to a series of walled gardens that prevents us from spotting alternatives and dramatically increases the cost of reconnecting to other platforms.\nFragmentation might be the long term consequence of the short term gains.\nBut how does it affect digital economy?\nWe can use network science and the properties of scale-free networks to examine how the existence of hubs might affect the digital economy.\nIn the 1960s, Paul Baran was hired by the RAND corporation [4] to create a communication system that could survive a nuclear attack. While reviewing the communication networks of his time, Baran discovered the topological vulnerabilities of the existing systems and proposed one that could sustain a devastating attack.\nFigure 2. Possible structures of the Internet according to Paul Baran.\nInitially, Baran identified networks with a centralised architecture (Figure 2, A). These graphs have a starlike topology and a single point of failure, meaning that the destruction of the central node will make the network collapse. Fortunately, the structure of our digital economy is different.\nBaran also found systems that are decentralised, meaning that there is a hierarchical structure of stars that are connected to each other (Figure 2, B). Our digital economy, with its central hubs and smaller platforms resembles that.\nAt first glance, living in an economy with this network architecture seems fine and in many cases it actually is. Assuming that various attacks such as economic disasters and bankruptcies occur at random, networks with hubs are exceptionally robust against catastrophic failures. The reason behind this is that the probability of removing a big hub is quite low due to their small number and therefore, the chance of fragmenting the digital economy network is negligible. The hubs are the strength of scale-free networks and have the power to hold the different communities together.\nHowever, not all attacks are random. In the case of targeted attacks on hubs, the network falls apart in a short time. This might seem rare but the financial market meltdown in 2008 and the bankruptcy of some of the largest hubs that led to a breakdown of the economy [5] showcases the devastating effects this might have. Living in a non robust economy where the removal of a few key players brings down the network could create long-term challenges.\nApart from the fragile structure of the distributed economy (Figure 2, B), there are some other caveats related to the node fitness and data acquisition. Networks with such an intense \u201crich gets richer\u201d nature are not friendly places for new nodes that would like to increase their links, take a central position in the network and compete with the main hubs. This has a negative impact on innovation. New entrants in the network are either bought, making them disappear from the graph, or get starved from the much wanted for their survival links that generate data and revenue. As a result, new ideas are not created, or if they do, they originate from pre-existing hubs.\nHow can we use network analysis in policy making?\nNetworks can potentially provide a much richer picture of an economy. Indicators are useful, but if policy makers want to drill a bit deeper and get a better understanding of an economy\u2019s inner workings, using networks could be the way forward. The ability to concentrate on and engage with individual nodes, platforms and potential challengers, could provide valuable insights on the reasons of their success or failure.\nNetworks could also be used to create indicators that would measure the probability of a node to become a hub. Graph embeddings, a set of machine learning techniques that finds the vector representation of nodes, could help us identify hubs in two ways. Firstly, we can use the node vectors to predict the number of links that a node might acquire and determine if it will become a hub in the future. Secondly, we can spot hubs based on their position on the network. Given a list of platforms, we can find other nodes on the graph that have a similar vector representation.\nCentrality or node influence metrics could be used to strengthen our antitrust laws. For example, we can examine how the removal of a node and the additional links that a hub will get might change the network structure and decide if the acquisition should happen. These metrics are also complementary to the idea of using the amount of data a company holds to decide if an acquisition should get the green light. More links lead to more data, more data increase a hub\u2019s fitness and thus, it attracts more links.\nBaran proposed in the 1960s that the Internet should be designed to have a mesh-like, distributed architecture (Figure 2, C), redundant enough that it would survive a nuclear attack, even if many of each nodes went down. Nowadays, the fear of a nuclear attack is not as prominent but the growing importance of hubs in our digital economy and the catastrophic effects their failure might have should be a major concern and a drive to search for new ways of spotting them. Using network science to understand the topology of the economy is a prerequisite for designing tools and implementing policies that make the system adapt fast and in reliable ways to failures.\nThanks to John Davies and Juan Mateos-Garcia for their comments and thoughts on this blogpost!\n[1] Barab\u00e1si, A.L., 2010.

However, it must also be compliant \u2013 and with the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018 this has become a matter of even more pressing importance.\nThe financial implications of non-compliance\nThe Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) has been given new powers with the introduction of the GDPR. This is set to herald a new era of financial penalties for a lack of compliance \u2013 penalties that could be crippling for businesses that are caught by them. A vast increase in the new GDPR fines that could be imposed for a lack of compliance is seen as a sign of intent. While previous penalties never topped \u00a3350,000, the GDPR has made it possible for the ICO to fine a non-compliant business 4% of global turnover or up to \u20ac20 million, whichever is the larger. All the signs are that the ICO fully intends to flex this fearsome new power so an IT network that fails on the compliance front could be the source of serious issues.\nThe reputational issues of non-compliance\nNew provisions in the GDPR require organisations to provide notifications and reports where an IT system has failed to keep data secure. These are much more stringent than was previously the case and will mean that there will be much less give when it comes to ensuring data security \u2013 and admitting to clients or customers where this has been less than compliant. For any firm \u2013 but particularly those in the alternative investment sector where there is a great deal of trust between firm and client \u2013 a lack of compliance that results in a system breach could be catastrophic in reputational terms. Given the wealth of sensitive data that is in play, if there is evidence that this is not being handled securely there is every reason for clients to take their business elsewhere.\nThe legal issues of non-compliance\nNon-compliant IT systems can trigger a broad array of legal issues due to the danger this presents to sensitive or personal data held within them. Legal issues could be anything, from individual legal action where someone has suffered loss as a result of inadequate compliance, to criminal penalties such as prison terms where the requirements of legislation have not been met. On the whole, most organisations are likely to be given time to improve a non-compliant situation before action is taken. However, if another party has already suffered loss this may not be the case.\nThe GDPR actively encourages the use of certification schemes such as ISO 27001. This sets standards that will ensure compliance and due diligence in protecting customer information and adhering to it demonstrates that a business is proactively managing its data security in line with international best practice.\nEnsure your IT infrastructure is fully compliant with our netGovernance service \u2013 or contact netConsult today to find out how we could help you to get your network GDPR-ready.",

        "raw_content": "Newbury MP calls for A34 improvements to be a priority\nAction group meeting raises safety concerns\nFRESH calls for safety improvements on the A34 have been made by campaigners and politicians at a meeting of the A34 Action Group.\nConcerns were raised that the road is no longer fit for purpose owing to the large amount of traffic now regularly using it, prompting demands for urgent action.\nThe introduction of crawler lanes and average speed cameras along certain stretches of the major trunk road was suggested at last week's meeting, which heard from Newbury MP Richard Benyon and representatives from the Road Haulage Association, the Joint Roads Policing Unit Hampshire Constabulary and Thames Valley Police, and Oxford County Council.\nSafety on the dual carriageway has been in the spotlight following a number of fatal collisions, including an eight-vehicle pile-up at East Ilsley, which claimed the lives of a mother and three children in August.\nJust two weeks later, three-year-old Isla Wiggin and her unborn baby brother died in a crash at Hinksey Hill in Oxfordshire.\nSpeaking after Monday\u2019s meeting, Richard Benyon said it was important for the improvements to become a priority given the recent fatalities, coupled with the continued increase in road users.\nHe said: \u201cSafety is our primary concern.\u201d\n\u201cThe quantity of traffic on this road is set to increase even more and it\u2019s already beyond the expectations of those who planned the road decades ago.\n\u201cThings like Southampton container port expansion, new houses in West Berkshire and Oxfordshire, as well as this route being the major route connecting the South with the Midlands and West, means we have to have action on it now.\u201d\nMr Benyon again pointed to improvements suggested in a Highways England feasibility study, which are yet to be implemented, including an electronic traffic management system.\nHe said: \u201cThe plan is to introduce this by 2020.\n\u201cBut, there are some pretty quick ones that could be introduced speedily.\n\u201cChevrons on the road, these sort of things, can make a difference and then, of course, there needs to be some wider and strategic discussions about the importance of the road.\u201d\nMeg Williamson of the A34 Action Group said: \u201cThe aims are still very clear, \u2018making a safer A34\u2019, but we are aware that we need long-term goals.\n\u201cSimilarly, some quick fixes such as signage, cutting back vegetation and policing have been highlighted as a must.\n\u201cIt\u2019s given us a real boost in morale and confidence to know that we have the backing of those that can help us make the changes \u2013 a definite step in the right direction.\u201d\nFollowing last week\u2019s report in the Newbury Weekly News, revealing the causes of collisions along an eight-mile stretch of the A34, calls to address driver behaviour along the busy stretch have also been made.\nCo-founder of the A34 Action Group Alisdair Cunningham said: \u201cDriver behaviour and general driving awareness are a serious issue that must be addressed as these are, in effect, mostly avoidable accidents.\n\u201cWe are looking at how to tackle this issue.\n\u201cThe A34 Action Group has been in contact with road safety and driver-awareness companies and charities in order to discuss possible solutions and share information and knowledge of solutions that already exist.\u201d\nA34 crash caused by Mobile phone use. Speed was reduced to 50mph at the time of the incident. Won't matter if it's 10mph limit if you not looking at the road\nCan we raise concerns that Newbury is no longer fit for purpose? looking at the traffic as I walk to work every day it sure seems that way.\nSpeeding is not the issue, it's concentration....so be interesting to see what safety measures are suggested. The recent four-death smash caused by a Polish lorry driver changing a CD. How do you prevent that?\nThere used to be chevrons on a stretch North of Chilton to Didcot, but were removed some years back.\nRemoved or just worn away, given the almost non-stop volume of heavy traffic?!",

        "raw_content": "https://www.newmilfordspectrum.com/news/article/New-Milford-school-board-reviews-roof-options-13427915.php\nNew Milford school board reviews roof options\nNew Milford High School on the first day of classes, the start of the facility's 16th school year in August. 2015.\nNEW MILFORD \u2014 The school board is asking the Town Council to include the high school and Sarah Noble Intermediate School roofs in the upcoming borrowing cycle.\nPlans to replace the\nroofs at both schools, as\nwell as some town buildings have been in the works\nSarah Noble\u2019s roof will be a standard replacement while the high school roof has several options on what should go in its place.\nIt can either have new asphalt shingles put on, continuing with its current appearance, or it can switch to metal with either steel or aluminum panels, which was the intended design for the school.\nOfficials will also have to decide if they want to add solar panels if they go with a metal roof.\nBids ranged between $3.1 million and $4.8 million for the shingles and metal roofs, with several prices available for each option.\nThe decision will ultimately be up to Town Council, but the school board said the metal roof is the best option.\n\u201cThe original design was metal and I think we\u2019re paying for that mistake in 1999,\u201d said board member Brian McCauley.\nBoard member Eileen Monaghan, who also served on the building committee when the high school was built, said the project came in on time and under budget, which wouldn\u2019t have happened if they did the metal roof.\nShingles are continually blown off the school due to the topography and how the wind flows, resulting in thousands of dollars to replace them each year.\nThe macroburst in May damaged the roof so badly it was leaking, prompting officials to patch it for $200,000. Those repairs are now complete as officials craft the permanent replacement plan.\n\u201cWe\u2019re all buttoned up for the winter,\u201d interim Superintendent Stephen Tracy said.\nBoard members were divided on whether they should have solar panels, but most agreed they should make the roof solar ready so that they don\u2019t close themselves off to the option later.\nBy making the roof able to accommodate solar panels by adding the needed hinges now, it will be $6,500 more than just a regular metal roof. If that work were to be done years later, it would cost about $500,000 because each roof panel would have to be removed and reinstalled with the fixtures for the panels.\nFacilities Director Kevin Munrett said it will take about 10 years for the district to see the payback from the solar panels but then they can expect $92,000 to $93,000 in energy savings annually.\nSome board members questioned those figures though.\nBoard member Angela Chastain said the high school is one of the first things seen upon entering town and she didn\u2019t want solar panels all over the high school.\nBoard member Joseph Failla said he supports solar and would be fine with panels on the lawn, but doubted the high school would benefit from panels on the roof based on the age and design of the building. Given his concerns, he still said they should go with the option to be solar ready.\nBoard member Wendy Faulenbach also reminded the board that the Sarah Noble roof has been a long-term priority and shouldn\u2019t be overshadowed by the high school.\n\u201cWe need to work with the town and not lose sight that the Sarah Noble Intermediate School roof is a high priority,\u201d she said. \u201cWe don\u2019t know what the town can and will bond.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Home > Buttering Up California's Budget Director (?) Fighting 'Draconian' Spending Cuts (Now It Makes Sense)\nButtering Up California's Budget Director (?) Fighting 'Draconian' Spending Cuts (Now It Makes Sense)\nNew York Times reporter Jennifer Medina\u2019s Sunday story from Sacramento focused on the state\u2019s cute political couple, Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown and his young budget director Ana Matosantos: \u201cPolitical Odd Couple, United by Crisis In California Budget.\u201d\nThey are a constant if unlikely pair these days: the oldest man elected governor of California and the woman who is its youngest budget director, shuttling from office to office as they meet with lawmakers, confer quietly in the Capitol hallways and fend off reporters and lobbyists.\nGov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, lived through another fiscal crisis when he was governor 30 years ago. The budget director, Ana Matosantos, 35, was barely able to do addition back then, but she has the experience that comes with having served under the last governor and through three years of California fiscal crises.\nMedina painted Matosantos as a budgetary whiz (who, conveniently, is also opposed to Republican spending cuts):\nAnd now the two of them are at the center of what has become the critical battle in Mr. Brown\u2019s first few months on the job, as he tries to push through a budget that would almost certainly define much of his remaining years here. And for all of Mr. Brown\u2019s knowledge and self-assurance, it is this unlikely budget director -- a Republican appointee -- to whom the governor keeps turning to help him navigate this treacherous terrain....Without hesitating, she explained how the state made up for services that local governments could not afford.\nMonths later, Bill Emmerson, a Republican state senator, asked for similar information in a private meeting. Ms. Matosantos ticked off the information without looking at any notes, convincing Mr. Emmerson that an inflexible spending cap would not work. A few weeks later, Mr. Emmerson could not remember the details himself. But he was certain that Ms. Matosantos had given them the right guidance.So why would the Times bother to butter up a relatively obscure political figure in the bowels of the California state bureaucracy? Maybe because her pull may help push up state taxes and reduce spending cuts:\nWhile the Legislature has moved forward in approving more than $11 billion in cuts, parallel negotiations to put a tax extension up for a statewide vote have sputtered and stalled. Now Ms. Matosantos is going through marathon meetings with Mr. Brown, as well as painstaking, occasionally painful sessions with Senate Republicans, whose votes are needed to get the tax initiative on a June ballot. Without those taxes, Mr. Brown has said, the cuts to the state\u2019s budget will need to be even more draconian.\nMedina even made politically correct points out of Matosantos\u2019s gay relationship.\nMs. Matosantos seems unconcerned about her status as a first in so many categories -- in addition to being the youngest, she is the first Latina and the first openly gay person to hold the job -- and likes to keep her matter-of-fact tone on any topic. \u201cAt the end of the day, what matters is the numbers: this all has to add up and make sense.\u201d\n(Back in June 2007, Medina fretted that after arrests of illegals immigrants in New Haven, Conn, \u201cany sense of sanctuary that the city and advocates for immigrants had developed over the years was turned upside down, replaced with fear.\")\nTimesWatch Budget New York Times California Jennifer Medina Ana Matosantos\nSource URL: https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/clay-waters/2011/03/29/buttering-californias-budget-director-fighting-draconian-spending",

        "raw_content": "Elk Garden contracts with Rice as grant writer\nELK GARDEN \u2013 Hoping for a good return on their investment, the Elk Garden Mayor and Council this week agreed to hire Ralph Rice as a grant writer for the town.\nRice had contacted the town to offer his services, saying, \u201cThis is a guaranteed contract stating Ralph Rice will obtain in excess of $1,000 in funding and or goods within one year or he will refund the initial payment made to him by the Town of Elk Garden.\u201d\nUnder the agreement for the one year term, the council will pay Rice five percent of all grants received whether in monies or goods in addition to his $1,000 fee.\n\u201cAs a career public servant with a successful 21 year track record as a police chief, city government leader, innovator, professional writer, and proven grant writer I find myself ready to take on the challenge of becoming a team member with your municipality and become part of the future of this historic city and area as a grant writer,\u201d said Rice, who resides in Myrtle Beach.\n\u201cOver the course of my career I have been responsible for acquiring in excess of $2.5 million in grant money, funding, etc. I have gained a wealth of experience successfully managing teams and growing public, as well as private sector entities. I have a strong track record for directing budget planning initiatives, developing marketable strategies, increasing shareholder responsibility and productivity, and being part of highly productive teams. I am particularly proud of attaining the wealth of knowledge that I have gained in strategic planning and grant writing,\u201d he said.\nMineral County Sheriff\u2019s Deputy Paden Yonker, who served under Rice while working in Capon Bridge, appeared before the council on Rice\u2019s behalf.\n\u201cHe\u2019s a great guy and if he tells you he\u2019s going to get you something, he will,\u201d said Yonker. \u201cSomebody with that kind of knowledge and experience is going to be valuable.\u201d\n\u201cRalph was consistent in working with Wal-Mart and other businesses. You\u2019re not going to get a better person for a full-time grant writer,\u201d said Yonker.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a win, win situation,\u201d said Councilman Kevin Broadwater with the provision that if Rice doesn\u2019t get $1,000 in grants he will repay his initial $1,000 fee.\nTo get started, the council is going to formulate a list of needs for the town with hopes that Rice will have success like he boasts in Ridgeley, Piedmont and Capon Bridge.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not something that is immediate. It\u2019s a four to six month period to see results. He\u2019s going to continue to pursue other grants,\u201d assured Yonker.\nRice had presented a similar proposal last year to write grants for the City of Keyser, but the council voted in November to not accept his proposal.\nOn a final note, the council is seeking another medical provider to provide services in town with Potomac Valley Hospital giving notice of terminating its rental agreement in the town hall building.\nMembers of the council noted that originally the clinic was open more, but recently had only been open one day a week.\n\u201cI\u2019d like to see an E-Z Care or an Urgent Care,\u201d said mayor Marian Droppleman.\n\u201cI think we should give everyone a chance, if they want to come here,\u201d added Broadwater.\nElk Garden will have its municipal election June 11 and registered voters living within the town limits wishing to file for mayor or council should call Droppleman at 304-813-3450 to complete a candidate packet. Applications must be filed between Jan. 14-26. Applications returned by mail must be postmarked by midnight Jan. 26.",

        "raw_content": "City Steps Up To Bat For Little League With Additional Funds\nThe Winslow Little League received an additional $6,000 from the city council to help the organization with their upcoming season.\nThe Little League had previously received $10,000 each year from the council to cover the costs of their season. Once the city\u2019s budget was cut by the 2000 Census, the organization was only allotted $1,000. It was suggested that the Little League work to raise the remaining $9,000 they needed to fund the season.\nThe Little League has restructured their budget to bring it down to $7,000 from $10,000. The council received a request from the organization asking an additional $6,000 to be given to the group to cover the full $7,000 budget. The request stated the Little League needed more time to create plans for raising their funds.\nThis request brought both supportive and disapproving discussion from members of the council.\nCouncilman Tom McCauley made a motion to award the $6,000 to the Little League. He said the Little League serves as the only summer recreation for some of the kids in the area. He added the city could either give the money to the Little League or the police department for the extra patrolling they would have to do during the summer if the kids did not have their games to keep them occupied.\nCouncilwoman Dee Rodriguez believes the Little League should not ask for more money because the funds they received was a gift from the city when the money was available. She pointed out the organization is already an expensive project with the cost of the lights and mowing. Councilman Robert Beamish made a suggestion that \u201cparents should donate more than just the children.\u201d\nCouncilman Bob Mansell expressed concern about the city \u201cpulling the rug out from under [the Little League]\u201d and they should help the organization get used to the covering their portion of the costs. He also added Little League is the largest contact the city has with both parents and children in their community. Mansell seconded McCauley\u2019s motion.\nWhen called to a vote, Rodriguez was the only member who voted against awarding the funds to the Little League.\nThe council approved an agreement between the Parks and Recreation Department and the Little League that states the city will mow and maintain the Little League Field and Vargas Field. The agreement also says the city will maintain and repair all the buildings, fences and stands, as well as cover the cost of the lighting.\nThe approval of an agreement with Winslow\u2019s Officials\u2019 Association gave the responsibility of hiring, training and supervising umpires for the Little League to the organization. The payment of this organization and the officials will come from the $7,000 the city gave the Little League.\nThe city approved Ordinance No. 881, which creates a buffer zone for the Santa Fe Subdivision. The agreement was finalized at the last council meeting and then sent to the subdivision developers for approval.\nThe ordinance states the city will water and mow the greenbelt and drainage channel at the old golf course as necessary. The city is also responsible for maintaining the ponds and the area around the city-owned cabooses during the months of April through October.\nTwo of the old putting greens, Greens 4 and 5, are to be replanted and maintained by the developers.\nThe council adopted Ordinance No. 882, which approves a land exchange between the city and Winslow Unified School District. The district will be trading land located west of Desert View Cemetery for land located at the corner of Maple and Pope Streets.\nThe district will use the land as their transportation fleet yard. Since the district\u2019s land is valued higher than the city\u2019s, the city will make up the difference through labor to the district.\nThe council adopted Resolution No. 1216, which accepts the canvas of votes and election returns from the Primary Election, which was held on March 12.\nThe council adopted Resolution No. 1217, which declared April 8-12 as Strong Cities and Towns Week. The week is aimed at encouraging communities and elected officials to interact and celebrate superior delivery of city services.\nThe council adopted Resolution No. 1219, which expresses the city\u2019s concern over the proposed layoffs to the Department of Corrections Facility in Winslow due to budget cuts.\nThe resolution states that the council is deeply concerned over the effects of the layoffs, mainly the changing of safety and working conditions.\nThe council also adopted Resolution No. 1220, which shows the council\u2019s support for the Rural Economic Development Initiative (REDI) Program. In the consent calendar part of the agenda, the council approved applying to become a REDI partner. By being part of REDI, the city will receive aid in its goal of bettering the economic status of Winslow. Becoming a REDI partner will cost the city nothing.\nThe council took the following actions on other items on the consent calendar:\n\u2022 Approved the payment of $3,000 to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for fees.\n\u2022 Approved a change order for the box culvert at Ice House Wash on the Mike\u2019s Pike extension.\n\u2022 Approved the purchase of manholes for the Santa Fe Subdivision sewer extension.\n\u2022 Approved a lot split and recombination of properties located at 1407, 1407 and a half and 1415 Short Street.\n\u2022 Accepted a report on action taken by the Planning and Zoning Commission on February 28, 2002.\n\u2022 Accepted a report on action taken by the Board of Adjustments on March 5, 2002.\nCouncil approves $10k for umps despite confusion in funding\nWinsow City Council considers Din\u00e9 cultural and commerce center\nHow To Spend Millions All In One Place?<br>Budget Planning Process Begins For 2003\nWater \u2013 Improvements On Winslow\u2019s Agenda\nCity closes another alley due to the presence of fecal matter",

        "raw_content": "Titla takes run for Congress to Flagstaff\nMary Kim Titla, candidate for Arizona Congressional District One (Photo courtesy of Mary Kim Titla).\nFLAGSTAFF-Mary Kim Titla hopes to become the first Native American woman in Congress. She has announced her candidacy and plans to unseat Rick Renzi from Arizona's Congressional District One.\nTitla took her campaign race onto the winding woodland trail above Flagstaff's Thorpe Park that has served as the route for the Native Americans for Community Action (NACA) Sacred Mountain Prayer Run for several years now.\nTitla competed in the 5k portion of the event on June 2.\nTitla, who was born and raised at San Carlos, has been a respected journalist for many years. In 1987 she became the first Native American television reporter in Arizona at KVOA-TV in Tucson, where she worked for six years. In 1993, she moved on to KPNX-TV, Channel 12, in Phoenix. Titla resigned from her position in 2005 in order to publish her own e-magazine, Native Youth Magazine.\nIt isn't unusual at all to find her at a race.\n\"I've been running most of my adult life,\" Titla said. \"I enjoy it.\"\nIn considering the Sacred Mountain Prayer Run, Titla understands the concern for the protection of the Peaks, and the sovereignty issues inherent in the battle.\n\"What is significant about the case is that the 9th District Court of Appeals recognized that the mountain is a living, breathing entity to Native Americans. As a Native American, I understand and respect that.\"\nTitla is aware that the U.S. Department of Justice has filed for a rehearing and appeal en banc on behalf of the Forest Service in this case, which could have the case heard before the entire 9th Circuit.\n\"I hope the court will let the ruling stand. The decision will be significant for a lot of cases being brought forward.\"\nTitla said that she was initially surprised when she heard that she was being considered as a congressional candidate.\n\"What happened is that a month and a half ago I was in Brazil for a week, and the news broke about the federal investigation [of Renzi] at a Washington political Web site,\" Titla said. She was also approached by people who told her that her name had been thrown into the hat.\n\"Leaders, both Native and non-Native asked me if I would consider running against Renzi,\" Titla continued. \"First, I discussed it with my family. I talked to elders. It boiled down to what one elder said to me. He said that these kind of things don't just happen to people. These things happen to you for a reason. [He told me,] \"'You need to take this seriously, take your prayers to the Creator and make sure this is what He wants for you.'\"\n\"After taking a look at the pot of candidates who surfaced at the time, I didn't think I would vote for any of them,\" Titla said. \"I feel I can do a better job. I've always been concerned about the welfare of my community.\"\nIn many cases where Native Americans have run for significant seats in government, non-Indians have asked how they will be able to fairly represent their interests. When asked how she would answer this concern, Titla was quick to answer.\n\"I hope this won't be an issue of race. I hope people won't vote on race,\" Titla said. \"I happen to be Native American but that doesn't change how deeply I care about this community. When I say that, I don't mean the Native American community only.\"\nIn fact, like many people in District One, Titla's family is representative of the cultural diversity of the region through intermarriage.\n\"Naturally the welfare of all peoples must be considered, and whoever represents this district must be concerned about all who live here, because this is the community,\" Titla emphasized.\n\"The media has already picked up on my being a Native American-that if elected, I would be the first Native American woman in Congress, but that's not all I bring to the table. That's not all that I'm about.\"\nTitla has enjoyed overwhelmingly positive response, she said.\n\"I've been embraced by the public as a reporter by all nationalities, and I left Channel 12 in good standing. I'm very proud to be seen as a fair, sound journalist. People trusted me and they expect that of me in my campaign. I will bring those qualities to office.\"\nTitla's life experiences give her a broad ability to understand the concerns of many different groupings of people. She has known poverty at an extreme level-she grew up without running water and electricity and on commodity foods. She began her own family as a young person, and though she wasn't on welfare, she did take advantage of the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program.\n\"I am a parent. I've experienced the ups and downs of raising [children]. I'm aware of the issues our young people are experiencing. I have a two-year-old granddaughter and my parents are raising my nephew. I understand the issues of grandparents raising children and grandparent rights.\"\nTitla's platform includes a strong focus on children. \"I've been an advocate for youth for more than 20 years, and I continue to do that. When children are struggling or suffering, I am concerned,\" she said.\nThere are many areas we can improve to make the lives of children better,\" Titla continued. \"There is a need to improve health care, education, and the environment.\n\"I don't know how many of the candidates will bring this experience to the race. I can relate to people on many levels, and my experience as a journalist is a plus,\" Titla said. \"I met with people in Arizona face to face. I was there in good times and in tragedy. I covered the issues that are important to the people in Congressional District One, and I covered the political races. I learned the issues. I did research. And I will continue to do research as a candidate.\"\nFormer Miss Navajo Nation Radmilla Cody ran the 10k race, and has been a strong advocate for issues important to the Western Agency, including the Peaks issue. She has known Titla for about nine years, and fully supports her friend in her latest endeavor.\n\"I am excited for her. She's not only a beautiful person inside and out, but she's genuine about what she puts her heart and mind to,\" Cody said. \"If elected to Congressional District One, I truly believe she will do what's best for people as a whole, and she's a new face and new energy for the position. That's what we're looking for.\"\nTitla campaign gears up with local, national tribal support\nMary Kim Titla featured in new book 'Native Women of Courage'\nTitla Announces Candidacy For Congress\nTitla gains tribal support for Congressional race\nRunning, walking, limping across the finish line",

        "raw_content": "The Foundry Wedding: New York: USA\nFor this profile I spoke to Lindsey Hamma, Events Manager at The Foundry.\nThe Foundry is a 19th Century building that housed The Albra Metal Foundry (their logo is still visible on the corner of the building at 9th Street and 43rd Avenue). By 1906, it was one of several steel foundries in the Long Island City area that catered to the needs of New York City\u2019s riverfront manufacturers. Once restored and renovated the space to reflect its original industrial character, we began hosting events in 2001. We're proud to say we are the only foundry in the area still standing today. We host about 100 weddings a year and are happy to also host a multitude of other events such as corporate events, social engagements and film and photography.\nWhat makes us stand out over other venues is our abundant outdoor space and flexibility amongst so many different variations and layouts no two weddings feel the same. While our couples begin with the Foundry Main Space and accompanying Courtyard they also have the option to add on four additional spaces.\nAside from the regular questions like our capacity and availability the single most common question is about our ivy!\nThe Foundry can accommodate up to 180 guests for cocktails or 125-140 guests for a dinner (this also includes the dance floor or up to 140 with dancing in a separate area). Outside in the The Courtyard, we can accommodate up to 165 guests for a seated dinner and couples have the option of adding on a weather plan tent.\nThe ivy begins to blossom around mid-April and will thrive well into October. At that point certain vines will begin to change colors, mostly yellow and some red. The leaves begin to thin and are usually gone by mid-November.\nHere is a link to our Frequently Asked Questions: http://www.thefoundry.info/faqs\nAnd a link to our photo gallery to see each space: http://www.thefoundry.info/discover/\nWe host events up to 180 for a cocktail style event or 165 for a seated dinner in the Courtyard vs 140 for clients who host dinner inside the Foundry main space.\nWe have a list of 40 caterers to choose from. Here is a link to our full list and they would handle beverages as well: http://www.thefoundry.info/vendors-we-love-1\nYes, absolutely. We love to host a ceremony on site and the three most popular areas based on a client's guest count are the Foundry Main Space, the Courtyard or Greenhouse.\nAre the couples free to decorate as they like?\nYes, we love to see what couples come up with! Of course we have a couple of rules (i.e.: don't drill into our walls) set in place to protect the building but we are open to a lot of idea and have ample beams to hang items from.\nThe Foundry can arrange for a tent to be rented and on standby in case of inclement weather.\nFor the Foundry Main Space and accompanying Courtyard rates fluctuate between $8,000-$14,000 depending on the day of the week and the time of the year. Optional spaces (such as the Greenhouse) can be added for a flat rate.\nWe say that a couple should book with a venue once they know they have a particular date in mind. I'd say our couples are booking with us about a year to a year and a half in advance.\nWe have a guest curfew of 12:30am. If a client wishes to extend or host an after party they can and it would just adjust the rental rate.\nWe don't have anywhere to stay on site but we have wonderful relationships with local hotels.\nWe can be reached at 718.786.7776 or you can check our our website at www.thefoundry.info or on Instagram @TheFoundryLIC\nPhotos of The Foundry\nAll photos supplied by The Foundry\nWebsite: The Foundry\nAddress: 42-38 9th St, Long Island City, NY 11101",

        "raw_content": "'Afterquake': Rebuilding Sichuan With Song A year after a devastating earthquake, Sichuan province in China is still rebuilding. Many children remain separated from their parents. To raise awareness of victims still in need, Abigail Washburn and Dave Liang spent two weeks in Sichuan to create Afterquake, an album that mixes actual sounds of the rebuilding with the voices of relocated school children.\n'Afterquake': Rebuilding Sichuan With Song\n'Afterquake': Rebuilding Sichuan With Song 8:55\n< 'Afterquake': Rebuilding Sichuan With Song\nAnd I'm Robert Siegel. We're in Washington.\nAnd I'm Melissa Block, wrapping up our week of stories from Sichuan, China. And today, we'll the hear voices of children who lived through the earthquake here last May.\n(Soundbite of a horn)\nMs. ABIGAIL WASHBURN (Folk Musician): These are excerpts from the interviews that we had with all the children, where we asked them: what did the earthquake sound like. And separately, none of them listening to each other's interviews, all made this sound, sort of like a hawng.\nBLOCK: That's folk musician Abigail Washburn talking about her new project, a benefit album called \"Afterquake.\" Washburn and electronic artist Dave Liang recorded the children, their songs, poems and games, and set them to music in a kind of post-quake soundscape.\nWashburn use to live in Sichuan as an exchange student and after the earthquake, she and Dave Liang came back. She brought her banjo and she played at temporary schools set up for children who'd lost their homes. The kids have been relocated often hours away from their parents.\nMs. WASHBURN: After I would perform, I'd have these students come up to me and want to share their songs with me. And a lot of times, they would share stories, too. And there were very, there were many very emotional moments where girls would sit on my lap and start crying and saying, (Foreign language spoken) I don't believe in myself. I don't know how to believe in myself anymore. I don't trust the world. I don't trust life.\nI was shook to the core by that and I didn't...\nBLOCK: What do you say to that?\nMs. WASHBURN: I said, (Foreign language spoken).\nMs. WASHBURN: I said, (Foreign language spoken) You've got to believe in yourself. When you're down, sing. Sing, you know, your voice is so beautiful, you should sing. It will make you feel better. And that's where it kind of left off.\nBLOCK: Let's listen to one of these songs. This is called \"Song for Mama.\" And this includes sound of people rebuilding their home.\n(Soundbite of song, \"Song for Mama\")\nMr. DAVID LIANG (Electronic Artist): So what you hear at first is brick laying, and then you hear a cement mixer come in. And that's the sound of a wheelbarrow that actually carries the bricks and also some of the gravel.\nBLOCK: Mm-hmm. Now we're hearing a woman speaking here.\nMr. LIANG: Yeah, that's the mother of this boy that we met named (unintelligible). He and all of his classmates were relocated to (unintelligible), which is I guess four to six hours away. And they don't see their parents on a regular basis anymore. So that was the sound of his mother speaking and she was saying, you have to study hard. Whatever you do, mother and father will always support you.\nBLOCK: Hmm.\nMr. LIANG: And he's sort of repaying this with a very emotional dedication to his mother.\nBLOCK: What's the son singing in the song to his mother here, Abigail?\nMs. WASHBURN: At first, he's singing of moon. He's singing to the moon. Moon, I give you my heart's longing, you know, my missing of my mother, for you to then give to her because we're so far away. Mom, your child misses you so much.\nAnd she's saying, (unintelligible), I'll always support you. I'm always going to support you.\nMr. LIANG: It was just a really moving song, purely a cappella when he sang it for us. So we went and visited his family in (unintelligible). There was a really poignant scene when Abby took out her laptop and actually played the acappella of her son singing this song, which is dedicated to her, to the mother. And she just broke down in tears. And she had these headphones on and it was a very surreal scene and, I think, reminded us of how powerful this music could be.\nBLOCK: There are beautiful photographs there on your Web site that show these girls at these relocation schools, washing their laundry out of plastic buckets and their toothbrushes are all lined up, and they're sitting on bunk beds. It looks like a happy place and I'm sure it isn't always by any stretch. But there's one song here which includes, I guess a poem from one of the students at one of these schools, and you call it \"Dream Seek.\" Tell us about that one.\nMs. WASHBURN: The poem was written by a young name Loho Mei((ph) and she wrote this in response to the earthquake and this actually just an excerpt of a much longer poem. We took the first portion of it from this poem called (Foreign language spoken), which means chasing the dream.\n(Soundbite of song, \"Dream Seek\")\nMs. WASHBURN: The door to my dream slowly opens. The bloom of my dream slowly unfolds. Dream, I slowly, slowly come to you. I can't wander from you. I will forever follow after you.\nBLOCK: Had a lot of the students at these schools lost friends, lost family members in the earthquake?\nMs. WASHBURN: Oh, yes. This particular relocation school took kids from Chuamoa(ph), which is a certain part of Wentrun County. They luckily weren't in the epicenter of the earthquake, so not everyone lost someone. But three of them lost direct relatives. And during our interviews with them, they clearly showed their grief and their continued grief. And one girl said, I just don't know how to feel comfortable in the world anymore, because the people I shared my life with have gone.\nMr. LIANG: You know, it's interesting. When we interviewed them, they were obviously a lot of stories of loss and separation that obviously are just uncomfortable for any human being. But I think what both Abby and I did not anticipate was that from, I guess, the darkest depths, these children were actually able to find so much happiness, especially in the school at (unintelligible). It was just an amazing communal experience. And I think the earthquake definitely brought them all so much closer together.\nAnd we definitely, we saw so much joy and obviously half of the record is just very uplifting. And they were some of the happiest kids, to be honest, that I think I've ever seen. And it was just very reassuring to both Abby and myself.\nMs. WASHBURN: It was. It was really surprising. We thought we were going to go into the heart of this and find out that grief was the thing we needed to work through. And although a portion of it absolutely is, the bulk of what we found was children rebuilding their lives and living to the best they could, and taking advantage of everything they had around them to make that possible. There's a lot of hope. So much hope.\nBLOCK: Well, let's end on one of the most uplifting pieces here that you've done. This is two sisters from one of the Tibetan areas of Sichuan. And there's just incredible lyricism and sweetness in this song.\n(Soundbite of a Tibetan lullaby)\nMs. WASHBURN: Well, you would never know it but this is actually the response to Dave and I asking the group, hey, what did your parents sing to you at night? You know, is there a lullaby or something? And these girls step up and they just jump in. And it's like, jamming rap.\nMs. WASHBURN: We're like, this is awesome.\nBLOCK: Tibetan rap.\nWell, Abigail Washburn and Dave Liang, thanks so much.\nMs. WASHBURN: Thank you so much for having us, Melissa.\nMr. LIANG: Thanks very much.\nBLOCK: You'll find more music and video from \"Afterquake\" at nprmusic.org.",

The Government has a four-pronged biofuels strategy in order to:\nreduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from fuel use,\nencourage greater production of biofuels,\nprovide new market opportunities for agricultural producers and rural communities, and\naccelerate the commercialization of new biofuel technologies.\nAccelerating the commercialization of new technologies\nThe 2007 Budget made $500 million available to Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) to invest with the private sector in establishing large scale demonstration facilities for the production of next-generation biofuels. Next-generation biofuels are renewable alternatives to gasoline, produced from non-traditional feedstocks such as wheat straw, corn stover, wood residue and switchgrass, and renewable alternatives to diesel, produced from non-traditional feedstocks such as waste oils and animal fats.\nNext-generation biofuels have the potential to generate even greater environmental benefits than traditional biofuels. Whereas use of traditional biofuels result in 40-80% less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to gasoline or diesel, next-generation biofuels can result in up to 100% fewer GHG emissions on a life-cycle basis compared to these fuels.\nThe Government and the SDTC have signed an agreement that provides the terms and conditions under which the SDTC will manage the $500M NextGen Biofuels FundTM. The Fund will:\nfacilitate the establishment of first-of-kind, large scale demonstration facilities for the production of next-generation biofuels and co-products in Canada\nimprove the sustainable development impacts arising from the production and use of biofuels in Canada\nencourage retention and growth of technology expertise and innovation capacity for the production of next-generation biofuels in Canada\nFor detailed information on the eligibility and selection criteria for the Fund and how to apply, visit SDTC's website.\nbe a first-of kind facility that primarily produces a next-generation biofuel at large demonstration-scale;\nbe located in Canada;\nuse feedstocks that are or could be representative of Canadian biomass; and\nhave demonstrated their technology at the pre-commercial pilot scale.\nFor the purposes of this Fund, a next-generation biofuel is produced using non-traditional renewable feedstocks such as lignocellulosic materials (including fast-growing grasses, agricultural residues and forest biomass) and non-conventional conversion technologies.\nThis measure complements other research and development initiatives including the following:\necoENERGY Technology Initiative\nAgricultural Bioproducts Innovation Program (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada)\nAgri-Opportunities Program (not applicable to transportation fuels) (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada)\nSustainable Development Technology Canada (existing SD Tech fundTM)",

        "raw_content": "Conservatorships may be elder law area of interest in Louisiana\nOn behalf of Doug Sunseri of Nicaud & Sunseri Law Firm, LLC posted in Elder Law on Tuesday, January 3, 2017.\nThough many Louisiana residents may think estate planning deals only with wills and what happens after death, there are various other areas that these plans may also address. With their estate plans, individuals can also plan for potential situations that could lead to incapacitation or an inability to make decisions on one's own. Within this area of elder law, individuals may want more information on conservatorships.\nIn the event that an individual is unable to make decisions for him or herself, there is an obvious need for another party to make those decisions. In some cases, a court-appointed individual may have to step in, and those individuals are called conservators. They deal with financial and personal care aspects of an incapacitated person's life in which choices need to be made.\nIf an individual has named a party that he or she would like to serve as a conservator, the court takes that choice into consideration first. If no choice was specified, the court must then move on to other options, such as a spouse, a party suggested by the spouse or other relatives. However, an interested person could petition to be named conservator, including those who have a claim against an estate.\nIn order to reduce the risk of an undesired person being named as a conservator, Louisiana residents may wish to plan ahead. They may utilize their estate plans to name conservators or power of attorney agents in order to dictate who has the power to make certain decisions. Interested individuals may wish to speak with experienced elder law attorneys in order to ensure that their plans are correctly created and put on record.\nSource: noozhawk.com, \"Chris Jones: Guardians and Conservators -- What's the Difference?\", Chris Jones, Dec. 25, 2016",

        "raw_content": "U.S.|Cellphone Ordinance Puts Berkeley at Forefront of Radiation Debate\nCellphone Ordinance Puts Berkeley at Forefront of Radiation Debate\nA cellphone user near the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. An ordinance passed by the city in May requires retailers to warn customers that the phones may be hazardous to their health.CreditCreditJim Wilson/The New York Times\nBy Carol Pogash\nBERKELEY, Calif. \u2014 Leave it to Berkeley: This city, which has led the nation in passing all manner of laws favored by the left, has done it again. This time, the city passed a measure \u2014 not actually backed by science \u2014 requiring cellphone stores to warn customers that the products could be hazardous to their health, presumably by emitting dangerous levels of cancer-causing radiation.\nUnder the so-called Right to Know ordinance, passed unanimously in May by the Berkeley City Council, retailers are supposed to notify customers, starting in August, that \u201cyou may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure\u201d to radio frequency radiation by carrying a cellphone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra. \u201cThe potential risk,\u201d the warning continues, \u201cis greater for children.\u201d\nEven supporters of the ordinance acknowledge that there is no definitive scientific link between cellphones and cancer, although they argue that it may take years for cancers to develop. The American Cancer Society says that cases of people developing cancer after carrying cellphones may be coincidental or anecdotal. But some supporters are undeterred, noting that there are similar warnings in the fine print of cellphone manuals, and that the Berkeley warning is carefully written to reflect that language, albeit with additional cautionary words.\n\u201cWe want to raise awareness,\u201d said Ellie Marks, the founder of the California Brain Tumor Association. Ms. Marks does not live in Berkeley but brought her case here because, she said, \u201cBerkeley has a reputation for taking progressive action.\u201d She said she was convinced that her husband, Alan, a real estate agent, contracted brain cancer at age 56 from often having a cellphone pressed to his ear.\nNot surprisingly, the cellphone industry is not allowing such insinuations to go unchallenged. A few weeks after the law passed, CTIA-The Wireless Association, a trade group, filed a First Amendment lawsuit against Berkeley, charging that retailers cannot be forced to say something that is \u201cfalse.\u201d A hearing is set for Aug. 6 in federal court in San Francisco, and the ordinance will not go into effect until the matter is settled.\nTheodore B. Olson, a lawyer with the firm of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher who was solicitor general under President George W. Bush, represents CTIA (formerly known as the Cellular Telephone Industries Association) and said in an email that the Berkeley ordinance was \u201calarmist\u201d and \u201cviolates the most fundamental principles of the First Amendment.\u201d\nRadio frequency-shielded handsets plugged into Ellie Marks's iPhone. Ms. Marks, the founder of the California Brain Tumor Association, said she believes that her husband contracted brain cancer from often having a cellphone pressed to his ear.CreditJim Wilson/The New York Times\nIn its lawsuit, the trade group said there was no safety concern \u201cno matter how the phone is worn.\u201d\nMany doctors and scientists tend to agree. \u201cX-rays, which emit ionizing radiation, are known to cause adverse biological effects at high doses, including cancer,\u201d said Jerrold T. Bushberg, a medical physicist and a professor of radiology and radiation oncology at the University of California, Davis. Cellphones, which emit non-ionizing radiation, do not, he said.\nSpeaking for himself and as a representative of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, Dr. Bushberg said possible connections between cellphones and cancer have been studied exhaustively.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been looking for signs of adverse effects at low levels for over 50 years without success,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can\u2019t say it\u2019s impossible, but if there is a risk it would be very, very low, or we would have seen an increase in brain cancers.\u201d\nIf cellphones were carcinogenic, Dr. Bushberg said, researchers would have seen an increase in brain cancer in Scandinavian countries, where they have been used longer and where, because of socialized medicine, excellent cancer registries exist. That has not happened, he said.\nAt the heart of the debate is \u201csimply one word: radiation,\u201d said Robert Cahn, a senior scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. \u201cJust because cellphones emit radiation doesn\u2019t make them dangerous.\u201d\nOther devices that emit low-energy radio frequency radiation and that have not proved harmful include baby monitors, garage door openers, wireless routers and smart meters.\nNevertheless, Berkeley has a habit of passing first-in-the-nation laws that seem radical but are promptly copied by other municipalities including creating smoking bans, a sanctuary for immigrants in the country illegally, a Styrofoam ban and health benefits for domestic partners. So if Berkeley succeeds in its fight to warn people about cellphones, can Cambridge, Mass., and other cities be far behind?\nMax Anderson, right, a Berkeley City Council member, helped write the ordinance on cellphone warnings. \u201cEven if the science isn\u2019t firm,\" he said, \"if there\u2019s a risk, we should proceed with caution.\u201dCreditJim Wilson/The New York Times\n\u201cIf you can get it passed in Berkeley, you have a beginning,\u201d said Susan Wengraf, a City Council member. \u201cIf you can\u2019t, forget it, or come back three years later.\u201d\nOn the streets of Berkeley, reviews for the ordinance were mixed. \u201cLabeling things that have a potential threat is always good,\u201d said Benjamin Fahrer, a farmer who said he creates \u201curban agriculture on rooftops.\u201d He likened the new law to notifying the public on secondhand smoke and genetically modified foods.\nBill Doran, an engineer from Pasadena who had his cellphone out while in line for ice cream, said, \u201cI\u2019m a little skeptical about cellphones causing harm.\u201d He was more concerned \u201cthat I\u2019m not able to get reception here.\u201d\nAt a phone store here, Calico Rose said the law would not change the way she carried her phone. She demonstrated by tucking her cellphone in her wallet, which she pressed into her bra. \u201cIt would probably take substantial use to cause cancer,\u201d she said.\nNevertheless, a Berkeley City Council member who helped write the legislation, Max Anderson, said he had appealed to his colleagues in May to pass the ordinance on ethical grounds. \u201cEven if the science isn\u2019t firm, if there\u2019s a risk, we should proceed with caution,\u201d he said.\nLawrence Lessig, a professor at Harvard Law School, and Robert Post, the dean of Yale Law School and an expert on the First Amendment, have agreed to defend Berkeley pro bono over claims that the legislation is unconstitutional. \u201cThe First Amendment is being contorted to all sorts of wrong ends,\u201d Mr. Lessig said.\n\u201cWe\u2019re not intending to challenge the science of cellphones,\u201d Mr. Lessig said. \u201cWe\u2019re just making people aware of existing regulations.\u201d\nA version of this article appears in print on , on Page A14 of the New York edition with the headline: Berkeley Offers Safety Guidance on Carrying Phones.

        "raw_content": "As frontline workers and service providers in EMS, it\u2019s a safe bet that we have all had some experience with youth regarding mental health issues. It is also safe to say that in many parts of our province accessing mental health services can be a lengthy process. This is especially true in the north and even more prevalent in First Nations Communities. In some of these communities there remains a crisis involving our youth, which is illustrated via \u201ccluster suicides.\u201d.\n\u201cThe loss of human life through suicide is a tragic reality in First Nations and Inuit Communities. For the First Nations population, suicide rates are double the Canadian average but are higher in some communities. And 6-11 times the Canadian average in Inuit Communities, making it one of the highest suicide rates in the world\u201d. (\u201cAboriginal People\u201d issue of Visions Journal, 2008, 5 (1),pp. 6-7)\nWith this knowledge, how do we stand by and do nothing, allowing those numbers to continually rise? Today, with our greater understanding of mental health and the issues such as PTSD that affect so many in our industry, it is even more important to find better ways to help those struggling with mental health issues, including our youth. This is why it was so important for our service, Naotkamegwanning EMS, to be a part Hope in the Darkness.\nOn July 26th and 27th, Naotkamegwanning EMS had the privilege of providing an escort for the walkers. On the 26th, we were on hand to provide emergency medical services and first aid at the Kenora rally and physically demonstrate our support by walking in the national event.\n\u201cIntended to be a call to action for Indigenous and non-Indigenous police officers that have worked with youth in crisis, the walk will provide officers with an opportunity to meet with youth and listen to their stories along the way.\u201d (Hopeinthedarknessca.wordpress.com) It has become so much more.\nOne team started on the east coast and the other on the west coast, averaging 40kms a day, with a plan to meet in the center of the country.\nTo bring attention and raise awareness of youth mental health in Canada\nTo provide a platform for Indigenous youth mental health success stories to be shared\nTo rally active and retired police officers across the country to get involved in empowering youth\nTo raise funds to support culture-based youth mental services across Canada\nThe Man and the Inspiration\nThis national walk is the \u201cbrainchild\u201d of Sgt. Kevin Redsky, of the Anishinabek Police Service. He has been policing for 15 years giving him both professional and personal understanding of the issues at hand as his \u201cniece died by suicide in 2013.\u201d (Nick Melony \u2013CBC News) Kevin has been very open with his struggles on both fronts.\nSgt. Kevin Redsky is originally from Shoal Lake #40, located in the northwestern corner of the province between Kenora and the Manitoba/Ontario boundary, an area that is part of Treaty #3 territory. He has lived and served in First Nations communities and has \u201cworked with at-risk youth and missing persons cases and has personally felt the effects of youth mental health issues.\u201d (hopeinthedarknessca.files.wordpress.package-2.pdf)\nThe Kenora Rally\nThe event contained several traditional ceremonies and was a pleasure to experience. The MC, Howard Copenace, did a fantastic job of ensuring everyone was included by explaining the significance of each ceremony or song and provided translation when necessary. We were honoured by the presence of the Grand Chief of Treaty #3 and the Mayor of Kenora, to name few. All of the speakers delivered powerful messages of hope, perseverance and change.\nDescription provided by Harmony Redsky\n4 Matches \u2013 Starting a fire\n1st match lit April first, EAST COAST START at the easternmost point of Canada- Cape Spear, St Johns NFLD (Starting the conversation- addressing the stigma)\n2nd match lit WEST COAST START at the westernmost point of Canada in Haida Gwaii BC, May 15th. (MMIW) Missing and Murdered\nIndigenous Women and Girls\n3rd match lit THUNDER BAY ARRIVAL, July 13- (the youth experience with racism)\n4th match will be lit Aug 3rd, Winnipeg Closing Ceremony, (youth at risk/child welfare)\nIt only takes one small flame to start a fire- one person can change the world.\nMany have now been inspired to commit to making a change, however big or small, by this national walk. It could be seen by the diversity in the crowd. Individuals from many backgrounds, families, community groups, frontline workers (police, paramedic, mental health workers and youth support workers) and their leadership were present, officially and unofficially expressing their commitment and willingness to be a part of the solution.

        "raw_content": "\"The things I do for love,\" he said with loathing.\nJaime was talking about how he just pushed a small kid off a very high wall, because he saw him having sex with his sister. Was he being serious or sarcastic? Probably a little of both.\nAfter I read this line, it made me think -- What have I done for love? A lot of things we do for love because we are \"in love\" at the time, then we look back and resent it because we think the other person didn't appreciate it.\nBut, that's not the case here. She doesn't have to thank him. He knows.\nI think the key is to do everything for love, not for the other person to notice or even thank you for it and, especially not expecting it, but just because YOU love them. No easy task. We want to be thanked and appreciated ALL THE TIME.\nRemember the Meatloaf song:\n\"I will do anything for love, but I won't do that...\"\nDo you have a \"that?\" I think it's better to make lists of what we have done for love with no regrets. There are things we have all done which resulted in no \"thank you's, \"no appreciation\" and yet we would do it again, because we know we did it for love.\nThere's no doubt Jaime loves his sister. He is stating the obvious. He pushed the kid off the wall, because having someone know what he was doing to her was not going to hurt him as much as it would hurt her.\nHow do I know? Because I have a brother. There is no stronger bond. I can say that even with having children and grandchildren. He is the ONE person who knows me better than anyone.\nI know what I would do for him and I know what he would do for me.\nNothing is Fair\n\"Nothing is fair,\" Jon said.\nHow many times have I said that to my kids???\nI said it because I believed it to be so. I didn't think life treated me fairly, so why would it be any different for them? I'm a good mom; I need to prepare them for life. After a couple of years, I softened it a little.\n\"Life doesn't feel fair.\"\nThat's a little bit closer to the truth. Life doesn't feel fair. We look around us and see people who aren't sick who we think should be. Or, we see people who haven't really experienced any kind of trauma, the way we define it, and think that's not fair.\nI have learned something amazing things these past couple of years. The biggest one being -- Life is more fair than we can even imagine.\nThere is nothing in your life you have experienced which you didn't get exactly what you wanted.\nRight now, you are saying \"No way. I've had experiences I did not want to go through.\" Well, I think I have too. But, it's not true. Just because it seems true, doesn't mean it is.\nThis time/space reality we are living is not only fair but perfectly fair. There is only one thing stopping you from getting exactly what you think you want. BELIEF. That's it.\nYou have to believe whatever it is you want is yours. Not \"will be\" or \"in time.\" Right now! Believe it and it has no choice but to be yours.\nIf you think your life isn't fair, then it's because you believe that to be the case.\nI can think back to things that have happened to me, good and bad, and I KNOW the only reasons they happened was because of my belief.\nI'll give one quick example -- From the time I was a little girl, I wanted to be a cheerleader. My parents didn't let me cheer on the little league in our community like my friends did. It felt very unfair. But, I still wanted to be a cheerleader. I watched my friends and I practiced and practiced and practiced. Then, one day I got to try out for our junior high squad. I was up against all the girls who had been cheering for years. The thing is -- I had no doubts I was better than all of them. My jumps were better, my gymnastics was better and I was way more skilled at the cheers. I wasn't even nervous on try out day.\nI found out I made it and I thought to myself, \"of course I did.\" I wanted it, practiced for it and believed I belonged on that squad. The little girl inside of me knew it too.\nIf you want life to start feeling more fair, start going for it. Define what you want and then start going for it.\nOh, and while you are going for it -- BELIEVE it!!!\nMoney: A Love Story\nI'm reading this book right now too. It's amazing -- so far. I've only read one chapter and I can't put it down.\nIt's written by Kate Northrup. I couldn't figure out why her name sounded so familiar -- upon further examination, I found out her mom is an ob/gyn who used to be on Oprah all the time. This made me want to read it even more. I loved her mom.\nAnyway, first assignment -- write your own money love story. I've been able to rewrite my past really well. I've made it my own rewarding story with me as the heroine. Now, she tells me to do it again, except with regards to money. Write my own love story and make it great. So -- here it goes:\nNeither my mom or dad graduated from high school. My mom eventually got her diploma when I was in junior high and I remember watching her study for her GED test. She was thrilled when she passed. My dad worked in a union at Mack Trucks and never had to worry about a high school diploma.\nI remember money always being a topic of conversation, but not in a good way. My brother and I learned very early on that money was something that came into the house once a week (Thursday) and we had to make it last until the following Thursday. I believe my dad did put money into a savings account, but we never really had knowledge of it.\nMy mom worked and her weekly pay check paid for the groceries. It was pretty simple and they were very honest about it. Money came in and was gone every week. We were allowed to spend it, just as long as we realized it needed to last seven whole days.\nIn my first marriage, Brian and I both worked and we were very financially independent. We worked on the money together and we always had money to spare. But after, the divorce, I was a single mom to three and then four children and money became extremely tight.\nMy second husband came along and basically saved me from welfare. He had lots of money but he never shared any information regarding it, so I never knew what we had. I had budgets I had to live by, but that was it. He had his own issues regarding money and it was all very confusing for me. During this time, money and I were on a kind of break, you would say.\nWhich leads to now... my second divorce... child support and alimony. I get money every month, but I don't work yet and I haven't worked in almost 20 years. Money and I are back together again, but we are still trying to work things out.\nI want to love money again. I want to be financially free on my own. I want to buy whatever I want without ever thinking about my spending.\nSo... I guess it all comes down to this... money and I have had a rocky relationship. Loving each other again is going to take work on both our parts. I want it back in my life -- healthier, more committed, and it is trying to reach me the same way.\nNothing will work unless you do - Maya Angelou\n\u201cLet me give you some counsel, bastard,\u201d Lannister said, \u201cNever forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.\u201d\nI just started reading Game of Thrones. I've read this passage at least 100 times in the last week. I can't get past it. Brilliant!!\nWhat am I? In the words I have always described myself with - I am a victim of sexual abuse. That's what I used to say. I don't say it any more, but it defined me for a long time.\nHe says to armor yourself in it and it can never be used against you.\nHow can I make it a strength? I have. It is now my greatest strength and I wouldn't trade it for anything. That probably sounds weird because most people wouldn't say it. They would think it was a curse. But, that's only because they want it to be.\nWhy is it my greatest strength? Because it taught me more than anything I have ever been through how to think of someone other than myself. I always had the thought that if my dad was abusing me, he would leave my brother alone. I'm not sure why the thought was there, but it was. He never said anything about my brother, but for some reason I took it on to be some kind of sacrificial lamb.\nNo one asked me to. Maybe since I'm the oldest, it was just a natural instinct. I'm not sure. All I know is that it was the only thought that kept me sane during times when I could have easily been insane.\nThere were times when abuse was used against me -- especially when my father died. Everyone thought I would be happy he was no longer here. I wasn't allowed to grieve him. But, it was so far from the truth. I felt like he left me with no real answers to why he did it.\nThe good thing is I don't need his explanation anymore.\nBecause of him, I know what forgiveness is.\nBecause of him, men don't scare me.\nBecause of him, I had six children.\nBecause of him, I get to be a grandmother before I turn 50.\nBecause of him, I got to experience unconditional love at a very early age.\nBecause of him, I am strong.\nTherefore, my greatest weakness IS my greatest strength.\nIf I Was Dear Abby...\nI have been in a relationship for two years. We gave each other our phone passwords as soon as we made it official to avoid keeping things from each other.\nOne night I had a sudden urge to go through his phone. I had never done it before, and when I looked at his FB messages, I saw he had been exchanging inappropriate pictures with someone. I was shocked and angry, and it almost ended our relationship. He deleted and blocked this person, and I forgave him. We don't talk about it anymore. I haven't noticed any other red flags, but now, when he's asleep or goes somewhere and leaves his phone at home, just looking at it upsets. I'll put a pillow or a blanket over it so I can \"forget\" it's there. I don't know if I should take another peek to make sure he's staying on the straight and narrow, or if ignorance is bliss. What do you think? -\nReading this question was painful -- which is why I decided to write my own response. We have so many outlets -- FB, Twitter, Linked In, Instagram, etc. to connect us -- you can't possibly keep track of what your boyfriend/girlfriend are doing online. So what's the point here? I only see one option. Trust. But who are you trusting, you or him/her? I say you. If you are trustworthy, the only thing you can expect from other people is for them to be trustworthy. There is only a problem when you are not.\nI know what you are saying -- but I didn't do anything -- he/she did. Maybe true, maybe not. Do you expect your boyfriend/girlfriend to be trustworthy? If not, why? It all comes down to what you expect. When you expect them to be trustworthy, wanting to pick up his/her phone will go away.\nLook at it this way, you have two choices. You can either be a trusting person or a suspicious person. That's it. Pick one. Living the life of a suspicious person is not fun. I know what I am talking about. No matter how many times you feel you have been let down by people close to you for being too trusting, it is far better for you to be that way than to walk around thinking everyone is going to cheat on you.\nYou worry about you. Are you trustworthy? If yes, then that's it. That's your only job. You did not come here to make sure you pick only trustworthy people to be around. You will attract whoever YOU are. So, if you notice anything \"suspicious,\" ask yourself - \"Why did I notice this?\" \"What am I being untruthful about?\"\nTrust yourself first. Trusting others will then get easier.\nExactly. What do I want? I like to make lists of my wants and then go back and see which ones I've gotten. It works -- try it.\nBut here's the short list --\nI want to be a successful writer - you know -- really successful. I can't even define what it means but when it happens, I'll know.\nI want to be the best mother and grandmother I can be. This one I work on every day because it's always different. Sometimes I should pay lots of attention and other times I should let them figure stuff out on their own. It takes work to figure out what I need to do on any particular day.\nI want to be a great wife. There I said it -- what does that mean? I have no idea. I've been married twice and feel like I haven't quite gotten it right.\nThat's it -- pretty simple and basic, but then again, if it were easy, I wouldn't still be trying...\nYou Think You're Being Helpful\nAre you Joan or Peggy?\nI'm a little of both. I want to be taken seriously as a writer, but I want to be sexy like Joan. That's what I thought the first time I watched it. Then, I watched it again and I realized something -- Peggy is sexy. Not in the way Joan is, because she doesn't think looking like Joan is what makes her sexy.\nSexy isn't cleavage, even though that can be sexy.\nSexy is being confident in whatever you are wearing.\nSexy is knowing who you are.\nThe question then becomes -- do you think you are smart and sexy?\nTough question for me because I'm not all that sure being a grandma, turning 50 this year and being heavier than I have ever been not pregnant is sexy.\nBut that is my problem. If I don't FEEL it, I can't BE it.\nWomen try to be helpful with other women, just like Joan thinks she is helping Peggy. Here's the thing -- Peggy doesn't need her help. Joan needs to think Peggy needs her help.\nWho has the real problem - Joan. The only confidence she has at this point is looking good. She is jealous that Peggy is taken seriously and she is not.\nToday my grandmother would have been 100. She worked in the fashion industry. She always tried to tell me what to wear to be more sexy. She also thought it mattered what I wore.\nNow I understand -- she NEEDED to think I NEEDED her help.\nI did. But not to tell me what to wear, but to tell me whatever I wear is sexy as long as I think it is.\nWomen feel the NEED to tell each other what to eat, wear, mother, etc. because we NEED to be NEEDED.\nThank you, Nana, now I know I did NEED you.",

        "raw_content": "ODEMM focuses on the structure, tools and resources required to choose and evaluate management options that are based on the principles of Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM). The approach proposed is one which can translate policy driver objectives to an operational process of creating, appraising and choosing management options to inform decision makers. The components of the overall approach, plus the linkages between them, are illustrated in the figure below. The tools and knowledge (Resources) developed in ODEMM address particular aspects of the overall approach. Hover over the Resources toolbar on the right and see the parts of the process that are addressed by a particular resource highlighted in the ODEMM Approach diagram below. You can then use the Resource links to find out more...\nDIAGRAM IS IN HERE!\nPHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE ODEMM APPROACH\nThe approach to management of the marine environment is evolving to one in which there may be less detail but greater overall understanding of the whole system. Ecosystem-based management (EBM) allows for a holistic view that includes humans and their activities, and the ecosystem services that ecosystems provide to humans as an integral part of the ecosystem. It is largely accepted that an ecosystem-based approach to management is required to deal with the increasing human use of the marine environment\nOver time, the need for an ecosystem-based approach to management has been recognised in policy, with progression from the appreciation of the place of human activities in the ecosystem, to the clear objective of achieving an ecosystem approach to management. Nevertheless, fully implementing a holistic approach like EBM is not straightforward.\nODEMM considered there to be five key principles to an approach that would make EBM operational. It must:\nHave clear objectives that are linked to relevant policy and to then link these objectives to specific components of the ecosystem (= work within a fully integrated ecosystem assessment framework)\nAccount for all possible interactions that are relevant to the policy objectives no matter how insignificant they may at first seem (be holistic), and then be able to weight and rationalise what is important and what management and/or monitoring and research should focus on\nBe based on structured, transparent and repeatable analyses that can work in data-poor situations (as well as those that are data-rich), because EBM should be holistic in evaluation of objectives\nInclude evaluation of management options that considers the implications in terms of ecological, social and economic outcomes (be able to consider trade-offs)\nHave clear consideration of the relevant governance settings and how these might influence performance in achieving the EBM goals, at both a broad and specific (e.g. Management Option Evaluation) level\nThe ODEMM Approach allows identification of key human activities or sectors, ecological components and ecosystem services \u2013 and the linkages between them, supporting the identification of threats. Following this it is then possible to create management options and to then consider the trade-offs faced between different management strategies.\nConsult our fully accessible report 'Towards Delivering Ecosystem-Based Marine Management: The ODEMM Approach' for further information on all our work: ODEMM Report.pdf",

        "raw_content": "In an outage starting at 2:10 PM PST Friday, subscribers of certain cell phone service providers were not able to use the internet, nor make outgoing nor receive incoming calls. Calling Cricket Wireless' customer service 1800 Cricket number, yielded only a fast busy signal. Customers from San Diego to New York City, from Tennessee to South Dakota have all written us this afternoon, to say their cell service remains out.\nAT&T and Cricket Wireless customers were affected, which makes sense since they share the same network. The outage seemed to be affecting outgoing calls as well as incoming.\nPlease share this story on social networks such as Facebook, as that may encourage the carriers to come forward with more information.\nUPDATE: KIVI TV in Nampa, Idaho reports a widespread Cricket outage. KIVI reports that the carrier, Cricket Inc, has tweeted: \"We are aware of a service issue affecting some customers & are working quickly to resolve it. We apologize for this inconvenience.\"\nThe outage was first reported around 5 p.m. Eastern, WPTV in West Palm Beach, Florida reports. As of 9:55 Eastern, service had not been restored to customers.\nThe Santa Monica Oberserver Reports:\nOur Readers Tell Us\nOne of SMOBSERVED.COM's Colorado readers reports his Cricket cell phone service is out in Denver. Readers in Portland, Oregon, Vancouver, Washington and in Arkansas also report their Cricket Wireless is out. So the outage appears to be national. One reader in Chicago, IL reports no service for 2 hours. \"Out here East of Dallas\" a Texas reader posted. \"I have data, but phone and text aren't working. 19:00CST\"\nIn comments, our California readers reported service outages in Los Angeles, San Jose, San Luis Obispo, Santa Rosa and San Diego. Readers across the United States told us of cell phone outages in Seattle, WA, Aurora, IN, Raleigh NC, Indianapolis, IN, Akron OH, Orlando FL, Nashville, TN, Pittsburg, PA, Atlanta, GA, Dallas, TX, Sedona, AZ, Las Vegas, NV, Chicago and New York City\n\"I'm in Utah and Cricket phone service seems to be out across the state. I've been searching online and it pretty much looks like it's out across the country as well,\" writes one of our readers. \"I'm in Wichita, KS and service seems to be out across the state. This is so exasperating!\" writes Alyssa. \"It would be nice to know why this is happening and more importantly, when/if its going to be fixed...\"\n\"The same here in Arizona,\" wrote \"Margedarlin\" at 5:15 PM PST. \"I went into a cricket store they say it's happening all over. I was told there is a tower down & it knocked the service out. I was told it would be back on by Saturday if not sooner.\"\nA Texas reader also heard about the downed tower from his local store: \"Outage here in San Antonio Texas too since about 4:30pm !! Called store was notified towers were done and they weren't sure when it was coming back up. Would be nice if they gave an approximate time. The fact that they don't know when is concerning. Were they hacked??!!\"\n\"Cape Girardeau, MO... cricket customer with no service since 6:45...really wish I knew when it would be back. Called an AT&T customer from my work phone and their phone is working just fine... what the heck is going on?\" a reader posted at 5:22 PM PST.\n\"In Santa Rosa,(Northern) CA. Service Flickers out Around 3:10 PM PST. Service is unavailable currently despite this phone displaying 2-3 bars and the cricket service indicator in the top left corner. Still a busy signal at customer support. The time is 5:25. Thank you and good luck!\"\nSwitchgod writes: \"Having worked Network Operations for Cricket for 8 years before the AT&T M&A, this is an absolute embarrassment for AT&T. Incredibly, this is the only article I've been able to locate on the net regarding this outage. I'm currently in Morgantown. WV and my wife's Cricket service is out. When manually forcing the phone to search for the AT&T network, the error message Network not available pops up. Luckily I now work for another wireless carrier. AT&T SUCKS!!!\"\nCricket Wireless is a prepaid wireless service provider in the United States. Cricket Wireless offers voice, text, and data and is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T Inc. As of 2011, it provided prepaid wireless services to approximately 5 million subscribers in the United States.\nI am personally in Fort Myers Flordia, and we still are without phone service here... my story:\nThe phone grid flutters:\n..... We dropped the kids at gymnastics for a one hour class and two hours of free time in the gym, and put our emergency contact numbers on the list.\nMy phone wasn't acting right. On the way to gymnastics, my wife had been really pissed at the amount of time I was spending with it while driving. I couldn't get internet to work between signals. I cycled the phone about four times, then removed the battery. I tried to call my son, and it put me into 911 mode... couldn't call out. I tried with my other phone, and found the same result. I knew I had just paid my bill the other day, and It was an hour long process before I realized all four phones on the account were dead.\nWe connected to wifi at Kohls to try to figure out what was going on. The incoming storm looked menacing. Shortly after, lightning flickered the lights, and the rumble of thunder shook the place.\nI began to ramble through the possibilities... was it the storm? We have four cell phones.... all on one network.... AT&T, and all of them are down. I twittered Cricket support, and saw a list of issues coming from Nashville and Dallas, but nothing specific to our area in South Florida. As we drove, the silence of staring at the road, and noone twittering their thumbs at a screen... was deafening. I said...\"how did we used to do this\"?... turned on the radio, and took hold of my wife's hand. I said I think we used to hold hands instead of phones. She said... I think God's trying to tell you something. It wasn't until a few minutes ago, I discovered there's an AT&T outage in much of the U.S.... maybe He's talking to a lot of us at the same time. :)",

The Catholic Church in France has been one of the main centres of western Christianity, and is the majority church. France was the birthplace of the Calvinist Reformation, but Protestantism has remained a minority. As a result of the Enlightenment and the French revolution, a particular concept of separating the temporal and the spiritual developed in France, called \"la\u00efcit\u00e9\". Islam has become the second religion, because of immigration, which has also brought many African Christian communities. The Protestant Federation of France embraces a wide variety of denominations, including Evangelical and Pentecostal groups. The Assemblies of God, the largest Pentecostal church, is not part of the Federation. The Council of Christian Churches groups together the Catholic Church, the Protestant Federation and the Orthodox churches. There is also an Evangelical Alliance, affiliated with the WEA. A survey in 2006 is showing a slight increase in the number of Protestants in France, mainly due to the growth of the Evangelical churches, especially those of African origin.",

        "title": "Ethiopia\u2019s Physician Brain-Drain Problem; What to Do? - OPride.com",
        "raw_content": "By Gelane Gemechisa\nSince the advent of \u201corganized medical practice\u201d in 1896, when the Russian Red Cross built the first hospital, Ethiopia has experienced a rapid expansion of the delivery of healthcare that lasted well into the 20th century.\nThe establishment of the Ministry of Health in 1948 played pivotal role in centralizing healthcare and leading a concerted effort that resulted in the construction of 93 hospitals (public and private), and a sizable increase in the number of physicians in the public sector.\nBut, even with donor-funded and much celebrated projects such as the community-based health extension program,the trends in the past twenty years tell a different story. A population boom, with a record rate of growth averaging 2.1 percent over the last five years according to a World Bank report, coupled with minimal infrastructural development has taken a heavy toll on every aspect of the country\u2019s livelihood, especially on the healthcare sector.\nIn a 2005 strategy report, the World Health Organization, found Ethiopia\u2019s population per primary healthcare facility to be 24,513, a ratio triple the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. With only 13,469 hospital beds in the entire country, the figure comes to one hospital bed per 5,276 people and exceeds the average ratio for the rest of sub-Saharan Africa five-fold. As bewildering as these figures may seem, facilities and material resources are only a fraction of the complex problems that weigh on healthcare in Ethiopia.\nThis brings me back to a topic that I began to tackle while I was back home and promised to share regarding healthcare in the country. I wrote a blog about the state of healthcare delivery in Ethiopia but decided not to publish it while I was actually in the country. Taking the extra time to ponder my statements, however, proved to be an eye opening experience and I hope that translates into what I share here.\nIn one blog entry during my trip, I wrote about a humanitarian project that is taking aim at remedying the symptoms of a broken system. While such efforts are dire and help thousands of patients every year, they cannot solve the problem at its root. The issues are complicated and involve many facets of healthcare. One obvious problem is the overall lack of medical resources in the country, which could easily be attributed to the still fledgling economy however a growing issue has become the lack of medical personnel, especially physicians, to handle the expanding healthcare burden. How is it that a country with more medical schools than Ghana and South Africa has significantly lower ratio of physicians to population than most of sub-Saharan Africa?\nIn a conversation with medical faculty at one of Ethiopia\u2019s premier medical schools, I learned that the incoming class size for first year medical students has grown to 400 every year. These are the best and brightest, so let\u2019s indulge and say only 75 percent graduate (even though it is much higher), we\u2019re still talking about 300 new doctors generated from one medical school in one class. A very conservative extrapolation of this data could suggest an average of anywhere from 1000 to 1500 new physicians graduating every year from Ethiopia\u2019s 12 medical programs. Compare that to the most recent census data from the CIA Fact Book, which estimates Ethiopia\u2019s population at 94 million and the problems seem to take shape before our eyes.\nThe fact that physician shortage exists in Ethiopia may not be groundbreaking news but the evidence shows that the problem is only getting worse. One promising fact, however, is that the majority of Ethiopia\u2019s medical schools are only a few years old and have yet to really impact the numbers in a positive way. This will be an interesting trend to watch as these programs gradually begin adding to the physician pool.\nWhile the of total number of physicians in the country may represent a steady ebb and flow state, the number of physicians who practice in the public sector has been dwindling. Most doctors opt for better-paying jobs with NGOs and private hospitals where the average citizen cannot afford to access their care. This adds to the physicians who are physically leaving the country for a chance at a more financially rewarding future in economically developed nations.\nHow did the problem get to this point? Well the simple answer is that it\u2019s brewing for quite some time now. A 1988 article in the New England Journal of Medicine estimated the physician to population ratio to be one to 57,876. The journal\u2019s report, however, precedes a period of widespread physician attrition (1990-2006) where the total number of physicians in the public sector reached an all-time low of 638 in 2006.\nThese figures are even more alarming at the regional level. For instance, in December 2006, a physician to population ratio in the Oromia region was one to 220,000. A field report the following year by WHO noted that the Oromia region contains 29 hospitals, 192 health centers, 895 health stations and 1070 health posts. These include facilities owned by government, private sector, and NGOs. According to the report, there were about 8,172 health professionals serving the Oromia region,an estimated 40 million people. The numbers indicate potential health service coverage for 70.5 percent but health service utilization remains at mere 27 percent.\nThese statistics beg the question; is anything being done to stop the outflow of physicians or increase the number of available providers?\nThe answer is yes but the consequences may be even more complicating than helpful in the long run. In an effort to increase the number of healthcare providers, the Ministry of Health has employed two major initiatives to address these issues.\n1) Physicians are now required to serve in the public sector for a number of years or pay a sum of 450,000 birr (that\u2019s $26,300) before they receive their diplomas. (Public education is free in Ethiopia.) Since the average physician salary is far less than a fraction of that cost, this is not even an option. Thus, they remain in the public sector a few years longer before making the move to the private sector or leaving the country.\n2) The Ministry has also created a relatively new breed of health professionals called health officers. Under this promising plan, health officers receive training from doctors and function as physician extenders (like nurse practitioners) who can also perform general surgery. The idea of creating such a profession is that they function as doctors, but have no credentials to do so anywhere else in the world, so they too are bound to practice in Ethiopia.\nThe necessity for measures to counteract the loss of healthcare providers is not in question. But the government initiatives, while a good starting point to steer the system in the right direction, may have negative consequences. In the next installment, I will continue with other factors weighing in the balance as well as suggestions for the Diaspora-based health professional interested in influencing the direction of healthcare in that country. As always thank you for reading and stay tuned.\n*Gelane Gemechisa is a fourth year medical student at University of Maryland.

        "title": "Woldia massacre: Ethiopian security forces kill a dozen, turning a holiday procession into nightmare - OPride.com",
        "raw_content": "(OPride)\u2014Ethiopian security forces on Saturday killed nearly a dozen people and wounded many others turning a time-honored holiday gathering into a nightmare.\nIt\u2019s becoming an all too familiar storyline in Ethiopia: A religious festival that was supposed to be a joyous occasion turned into a scene of carnage by the security forces\u2019 disproportionate use of force to disperse crowd.\nThe Woldia massacre on January 20, 2018, in the Wollo district of the Amhara state, took place on the second day of the Ethiopian Epiphany or \u201cTimket\u201d celebration.\nReliable casualty figures are hard to come by amid an internet blackout in the city and surrounding areas, but local reports indicate that federal forces fired live ammunition on unarmed civilians, who chanted anti-government slogans. The death toll is expected to rise amid reports that many are being treated for critical injuries at the Woldia City General Hospital.\nThe \u201cTimket\u201d celebration is one of the most vibrant, colourful, and popular of Ethiopian traditions. Members of the Ethiopian Orthodox faith commemorate the baptism of Jesus Christ by flocking en masse to roads and meadows surrounding churches. That\u2019s followed by a ceremonial parade of each church\u2019s replica of the Ark of the Covenant known as \u201cTabot.\u201d Every year, millions take to the streets to see off their local church\u2019s Tabot and roads are often closed to traffic during the two-day festivities which also attracts a considerable amount of tourists.\nOn Saturday, the youth in Woldia who turned out in droves were as vociferous and exuberant as they always are on this day, according to eyewitness reports. Political tension has been high in the area in recent months so security was apparently beefed up to ensure that the occasion would not become an opportunity to voice the collective resentment of the region\u2019s people.\nActivists allege that the weekend calamity came as a result of retaliatory action by federal security forces against celebrating youth, who chanted political slogans condemning the Ethiopian government. Some protesters reportedly hurled stones at local police officers before the army started shooting at the crowd but none of the demonstrators were armed. Security forces are said to have warned the youth to stop chanting anti-government slogans before unleashing bullets on those who defied the orders.\nAccording to eyewitnesses who spoke to Deutsche Welle, the crackdown lasted for hours, with sounds of intermittent gunshots running from 3pm to 6pm local time. The city\u2019s residents also reported seeing troops putting up blockades and restricting the movement of people.\nA nurse at the Woldia Hospital told Addis Standard that at least 18 people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds. The city remains militarized. The thousands who left their homes to witness the traditional send off of the St. Michael \u201cTabot\u201d may have been stranded as the military set up checkpoints around Woldia.\nBackground: Tension in the Amhara Region\nThe Amhara people have long been at odds with the incumbent regime in Addis Ababa, but a brutal crackdown on Amhara protesters in 2016 served to permanently widen the divide between the region\u2019s inhabitants and their rulers.\nFor decades, the allocation of the Wolkait Tegede region \u2014 believed by many Amharas to be an ancestral land belonging to their kin \u2014to the neighbouring Tigray regional State has been a contentious sticking point. In 2016, a committee of concerned citizens attempted to engage central authorities in dialogue to end the stalemate, but members of the \u201cWolkait Committee\u201d were repeatedly rebuffed and eventually rounded up and imprisoned.\nThe group\u2019s leader, Colonel Demeke Zewdu, took to the media to express his frustrations. \u201cThe (Amhara) people have been opposing this in different forms,\u201d he told Voice of America in August 2016. \u201cUnder the Tigray Region administration, the (Wolkait) people didn\u2019t gain any benefits. Land has been taken away from them and they don\u2019t have socio-economic advantages. The society feels like it is regarded as second-class citizens.\u201d\nAfter that interview, he too was detained. Two weeks after his detention, thousands of outraged citizens took to the streets demanding his release and an end to their political and economic marginalization. The protests brought the entire Amhara State to a virtual standstill for months. The violent military crackdown that was launched to quell the \u201cAmhara Protests\u201d resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians. At a press conference in Addis Ababa last year, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn conceded that 120 Amhara protesters were killed.\nAmhara activists say the actual death toll is closer to 500. Among the most horrific bouts of violence in the region, a near 24-hour violent campaign on August 7, 2016 left 30 unarmed demonstrators dead in the state\u2019s capital, Bahir Dar. The day before, seven people were similarly gunned down by security forces in Gonder. Nearly two years later, despite international calls for investigation into the disproportionate use of force against civilian protesters, nobody has been held accountable for the deaths of hundreds of Amhara demonstrators throughout 2016. Meanwhile, Amhara activists and leaders such as Colonel Zewdu and youth activist Nigist Yirga, remain behind bars on alleged terrorism charges.\nThe residents of Woldia protested throughout 2016 and their discontents where on full display when the ruling Amhara National Democratic Movement (ANDM) organized a town hall meeting days after the massacres in Bahir Dar and Gondar. The hall was mostly empty after locals elected to instead take part in city wide sit-in protests.\nThe outbreak of fresh protests on January 20 in Woldia is almost certainly a result of simmering tensions and growing resentment felt among residents because the repression across the region in recent years.\nIn a statement posted on Facebook, Amhara State Communications Affairs head Nigussu Tilahun said a \u201cclash\u201d between local youth and security forces have resulted in the loss of lives. He offered no details or casualty figures, but pledged to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for the killing of innocent people.\nOn Sunday, Amhara State President Gedu Andargachew made a surprise visit to Woldia and met with residents and community representatives. He stated that the responsibility of keeping the streets of Woldia safe wasn\u2019t just that of security forces but also \u201crequires the cooperation of everyone in society.\u201d In a telephone interview with the State-run EBC, although he never explicitly strayed from the narrative of a \u201cclash between security forces and festival goers,\u201d he noted \u201cin tragic incidents such as what happened (in Woldia on Saturday), the ones who often suffer the most are innocent civilians. The ringleaders who stay in the background and egg others on to commit acts of violence are rarely harmed.\u201d It isn\u2019t clear who he was referring to. Later, it was reported that everyone who was detained during the chaos was freed after Gedu personally intervened on behalf of their loved ones and community elders.\nMeanwhile, Amare Goshu, police chief of the North Wollo zone that encompasses the Woldia municipality, gave a highly conflicting statement to EBC. He corroborated the claims that no more than seven had died in the incident, without pointing a finger at anyone. He then went on to declare that his men have regained control of the city and are working alongside religious and community leaders to address concerns of worried residents.\nAt the same time, he claimed that youths had laid siege to the city, rioting and damaging property, and that the local police was working to subdue those who sought to wreak havoc in the city.\nDespite the deaths and destruction on the heels of a very important day in the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian calendar, there have been no public statements or messages of condolences by anyone affiliated to the Church\u2019s governing body or the Patriarch Abune Mathias. No church officials have made themselves available for comment although victims were worshippers and its members who organized mass celebrations.\nEthiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn is also yet to make a statement on the tragedy.\n#AmharaProtests amhara AmharaResistance Ethiopia Woldia",

        "raw_content": "Nick\u2019s Note: At the Daily, we\u2019re always trying to stay in front of big, money-making trends\u2026 And one that we\u2019re excited about comes courtesy of PBRG friend and Strategic Investor editor, E.B. Tucker.\nE.B. has been following the legalized sports betting trend for months\u2014and shows why it\u2019ll be even more lucrative than selling alcohol or cigarettes\u2026\nHe stared down his opponents, with his eyes barely visible under the broad brim of a Stetson cowboy hat.\nHe had a rattlesnake with its jaw open and fangs exposed glued to the front of it. With a Texas drawl, he\u2019d tell the other players how he\u2019d killed it himself.\nAt 6-foot-4 and 170 pounds, Amarillo Slim was the greatest gambler to ever live. He made his first million in 1947 when he was only 19. His unforgettable look helped make poker a mainstream game around 20 years ago.\nSlim was so good at poker that he said he was one of only four men who deserved to call themselves players. He won millions of dollars back when a million was considered serious money. He took pots from presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, Hustler magazine founder Larry Flint, and even drug lord Pablo Escobar.\nThe most interesting fact about the man who popularized mainstream competitive poker was that it wasn\u2019t his first love. Before he played professional cards, Amarillo Slim was a bookie. If the federal government hadn\u2019t banned the transfer of sports information across state lines in 1961, we might remember him for bringing sports betting mainstream.\nThat\u2019s right. Before Slim became a poker legend\u2026 he was a successful sports bookie.\nTo him, taking sports bets was a more sophisticated way of putting his odds-making ability to work. If he set the lines properly, his profit was almost guaranteed.\nSlim realized that sports gamblers make a lot of mistakes. For example, they always bet on the home team, regardless of the odds. And they rarely bet on the underdog. Traits like these made bookmaking easy in his eyes.\nBut in 1961, the U.S. government stepped in, making the bookmaking business too difficult for Slim. As is the case with most government laws, sports betting legislation protected some licensed bookies in places like Las Vegas. But it made transmitting sports information across state lines illegal. Slim didn\u2019t want to tangle with the government. So he traded bookmaking for poker hustling.\nIn today\u2019s essay, I\u2019ll show why the ban on sports was unconstitutional\u2026 what the Supreme Court\u2019s new ruling means going forward\u2026 and why this trend needs to be on every investor\u2019s radar today\u2026\nFree Report Reveals: The Greatest Day in Stock Market History\nCould February 4, 2019, be the greatest day in stock market history? A former money manager, famous for predicting the renter trend, legal marijuana wave, blockchain boom, and Bitcoin bubble is going on record with his next prediction: The Greatest Day in Stock Market History\u2026\nIf you\u2019re searching for new opportunities to potentially turn a small investment into a nice nest egg, be sure to give this report a read.\nYou can claim it free here\nThe Federal Ban on Sports Betting Was Unconstitutional\nThe feds stepped up their attack with the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA). The justification was for keeping integrity in sports.\nI always say if you want to know the true effect of a law, just look at the opposite of its name. The Food Safety Act made the small farmer a criminal and agribusiness a hero. The Patriot Act made the average American prove he\u2019s not a terrorist if he wants to open a checking account.\nAnd of course, PASPA did nothing to safeguard sports. It did, however, make thuggish bookies across America rich.\nLast May, the U.S. Supreme Court finally heard a case challenging this preposterous law. The suit spent years winding its way through New Jersey courts before making it to Washington.\nThe argument against the law rested on the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That amendment says that any power not delegated to the federal government by the Constitution\u2014or outlawed specifically by it\u2014belongs to the states.\nThere\u2019s no mention of gambling in the Constitution. That\u2019s why states can license casinos and lotteries. The Supreme Court said federal laws limiting a state\u2019s right to license, regulate, control, and tax betting within its borders violate the Tenth Amendment.\nWithin days of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision, New Jersey announced plans to open up sports betting. By the end of June, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Connecticut, and Mississippi had enacted sports betting legislation.\nAnd about a dozen other states are currently working to pass new laws.\nAs regular readers know, this is a massive trend my team and I are covering closely. [See E.B.\u2019s previous Daily essays on the subject here and here.]\nWe think it will be one of the best money-making opportunities in the years ahead. Here\u2019s why\u2026\nThe Plot Against Trump\u2019s America\nI believe a very serious threat to the Trump administration is on the way, and some Americans are going to get caught in the middle of this mess.\nI fear that you could be one of them.\nMillions of people could stand to lose a lot of money\u2026 especially if you own stocks, bonds, annuities, or life insurance.\nUnderstand, I\u2019m not a prepper. I\u2019m not a \"doom and gloomer.\"\nAfter studying mathematics and philosophy at one of the most exclusive schools in America, I was employee No. 2 at a tech startup during the \u201990s internet boom. I went on to become a part of one of the most successful internet media companies in America.\nBut today, I need to share a message with every American I can.\nBecause I\u2019ve caught wind of a big move against Trump. One that\u2019s going to cause massive problems in our financial system. One that could change your life in irreversible ways.\nPlease click here to see what\u2019s going on\nWhat the Numbers Look Like\nIt\u2019s impossible to know how much revenue legal sports betting will bring in. Most people who bet illegally don\u2019t want to talk about it much.\nAll we have to work from are estimates. We pored over studies like the one Ernst & Young carried out that says $107 billion in sports wagers changes hands illegally every year in the U.S. And research from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas that suggests the illegal sports betting industry is turning over $150 billion a year. That\u2019s more than the GDP of Nebraska.\nMy own research shows that the market should turn out to be even larger than that. Markets the government has outlawed always get bigger when they become legal again.\nBased on all the available data, we think up to $400 billion in wagers could flow through licensed channels when sports betting is fully legal.\nThat sounds like a huge number, considering Americans only consumed $121 billion worth of tobacco in 2017. And they only drank $223 billion worth of booze in 2016.\nBoth of those vices are legal, licensed, and heavily taxed. Betting, on the other hand, while still illegal, brought in an estimated $4.76 billion in bets on the Super Bowl alone in 2017. The American Gaming Association (AGA) figured 97% of those bets happened underground.\nThe AGA also estimated that bets on the NCAA men\u2019s basketball tournament totaled $10 billion in 2017. Most importantly, people either had to fly to Nevada or break the law to make their bets.\nOur estimate of up to $400 billion in sports wagers starts to look reasonable as we consider the first states that legalized betting. Tiny Delaware took in $322,135 in sports bets on the first day after legalization\u2014June 5, 2018. Outside of regular season baseball games, there weren\u2019t any major sporting events taking place in the U.S. that day.\nBrand-New: Start with $100 and Retire Rich?\nThat\u2019s why Tim is now offering this full book AND a year of access to his wisdoms\u2026 for only $20.\nYes only $20\u2026 because Tim knows that every $100 you keep could turn into $500 or even $1,000 down the road..\nThe Floodgates Are Open\u2026 Now\u2019s the Time to Take Advantage\nLegal sports betting is the type of investment theme I\u2019ve made a career out of spotting.\nStrategic Investor subscribers know this is a good example of why my investing newsletter is very different from others you might read\u2026\nWe know the trick to making money in the stock market is spotting what\u2019s on the horizon\u2014before you read about it in the mainstream news.\nThe government deciding to lay down arms and allow licensed, legal operating of anything means a chance to profit.\nBy striking down a federal law prohibiting sports betting, the Supreme Court has opened the floodgates to a multibillion-dollar industry.\nAnd when you see a business that\u2019s about to get a lot better, you buy a handful of stocks likely to benefit. That\u2019s what we\u2019re doing at Strategic Investor.\nSo if you\u2019re interested in learning more, I invite you to join me tonight at 8 p.m. ET for a free investment summit.

        "raw_content": "Deer Valley owner taking hands-off approach to brands\nAspen Skiing Co. employees Ben Cook, front, and Pete Falk walk down to the Gondola Plaza at Aspen Mountain Wednesday afternoon after skinning up to ski down. They said they \"had to test out Aspen Mountain\" and reported conditions weren't too bad for mostly manmade snow.\nASPEN, Colo. \u2013 Aspen Skiing Co.'s new sister ski conglomerate will soon announce its name and, probably more importantly to skiers and snowboarders, unveil some new pass options later in the season for 2018-19.\nDavid Perry, president and chief operating officer for the new firm, said this week his team has selected a name and will release it before the holidays.\nHowever, the name won't be prominently used in marketing the resorts under its umbrella, Perry said. The emphasis will be on keeping the strong individual identity of each of the resorts, which include Steamboat and Winter Park in Colorado, Deer Valley in Utah and Mammoth and Squaw Valley in California.\n\"It's not going to be a public-facing brand,\" Perry said of the new name. \"You're not going to pull into Steamboat and see a sign that says, 'Welcome to Steamboat, part of the XYZ Company.'\"\nThe resorts will collaborate on a ski pass or passes that will be marketed through a shared name.\n\"I don't think there's any secret we will have a pass product on the market next year,\" Perry said.\nHow Aspen Skiing Co.'s four ski areas fit into the ski pass plan remains a secret.\nSkico currently offers a pass that is good at Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk. It's also a participant in the Mountain Collective Pass, which was created to help independent operators compete against Vail Resorts' Epic Pass.\nThe Epic Pass was created in 2008. Aspen and other independent resorts responded with the Mountain Collective Pass, good for two days of skiing at each of the participating resorts, in 2012.\n\"There's no plans to decommission the Mountain Collective,\" said Christian Knapp, chief marketing officer for Aspen Skiing Co. and a creator of the pass. He said it has been particularly popular with urban millenials.\nPerry said two of the new ski company's resorts, Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows and Mammoth, are members of the Mountain Collective and will continue to participate.\nWhatever pass the new company offers will be able to \"work alongside\" the Mountain Collective, he said.\nKnapp, like Perry, wouldn't hint at how Aspen Skiing Co.'s resorts will be marketed with the new company's resorts, if at all.\n\"Clearly there's a new collection of resorts coming together\" that have overlapping ownership, he said.\nSkico President and CEO Mike Kaplan said during a recent public meeting that the top question about the resort-buying binge is whether a joint ski pass will be offered.\n\"We'll be working something out,\" he said.\nHenry Crown and Co., owners of Aspen Skiing Co., teamed with KSL Capital Partners of Denver last winter to form a new affiliate to dive into the ski industry. They made their first splash in April with the purchase of Intrawest Resorts Inc. and its six resorts. They later added four ski areas held by Mammoth Resorts. KSL already owned Squaw Valley-Alpine Meadows and brought them into the mix of the new company.\nThe buying binge was topped off with the purchase of Deer Valley in August.\nAspen Skiing Co. remains \"fiercely independent\" and owned separately by the Crowns, Kaplan said. The bonds are tight. Perry was a top executive at Skico for 15 years and Kaplan's right-hand man. Both men have said Aspen Skiing Co. and the unnamed firm will look for opportunities to share resources.\nIt's a safe bet that Perry and Kaplan and their teams are working on plans to get skiers at Mammoth, Deer Valley and Steamboat interested in trying out Aspen-Snowmass, and vice versa.\nWhile waiting for the new ski company to step out of the shadows, some in the ski industry have dubbed it Newco.\nGregory Wagner, teaching associate professor in the University of Denver Department of Marketing and a former advertising industry executive, said it was smart of the new company to take its time and conduct thorough research before selecting a name.\nThe company doesn't want to come across as big brother for fear of alienating customers at the individual resorts, he said. It had to determine its mission statement and its objectives at each of the 13 resorts before coming up with a moniker.\n\"Once you have all the input, it's so much easier to come up with the name,\" Wagner said. \"It avoids false starts. You can't just say, 'Hey, give me a name.'\n\"It's a big deal to get it right,\" he added.",

        "raw_content": "Parkite preaches unity during run for Utah Education Association presidency\n20160329__2Matthewsp1\nHeidi Matthews, a librarian at Treasure Mountain Junior High, was one of two Utah Education Association presidential candidates to advance through the primary election. She says she has learned much about the state of education in Utah through her campaign, and she hopes to bring a strong voice to the association. (Park Record file photo)\nHeidi Matthews began her quest to become president of the Utah Education Association last fall, hopeful that her voice could help unite the roughly 20,000 licensed teachers who lead Utah classrooms.\nMatthews, a librarian at Treasure Mountain Junior High and former president of the Park City Education Association, is closing in on her goal. She was the leading vote-getter in the UEA\u2019s four-candidate primary election in February and is awaiting the results of the general election, which runs through April 15.\n\"It\u2019s been really exciting,\" she said. \"And it\u2019s been a long process. It\u2019s been a really good experience, but I\u2019m ready for it to be decided. My reasons for running and putting my name in the hat seem so long ago. They\u2019ve really evolved.\"\nMatthews\u2019 self-professed evolution stems from her experiences traveling the state and meeting with local teachers association leaders. She\u2019s come away with an understanding that there\u2019s an expanding disconnect between educators and state lawmakers. Many teachers, continually asked to do more with fewer resources \u2014 and with no end to that cycle in sight \u2014 are feeling beaten down.\n\"They\u2019re feeling like the people in positions of power in our Legislature aren\u2019t listening to them,\" she said. \"They don\u2019t listen, they don\u2019t invite teachers to the table. In some cases, they\u2019re anti-teacher and certainly anti-union or any collective body. Yet they have no expertise or experience to be making these decisions about education. Then (the policies) don\u2019t work, and who gets blamed when they fail? The teachers. And who is left to pick up the pieces? Teachers. And I think teachers are just weary of this constant cycle of being so overlooked and dismissed.\"\nShe added that getting to hear from teachers across the state has been an enlightening and valuable experience, whether she wins or loses the election.\n\"I don\u2019t want to say we\u2019re in a bubble here in Park City, because we do face a number of the same issues that are across the state,\" she said. \"But you begin to realize the impact of class sizes in rural areas and things like what we are facing as a state in a teacher shortage \u2014 our existing teachers are being asked to mentor people who have no experience teaching.\"\nRallying UEA members to become more unified and stand with a collective voice would go a long way toward fixing the problems, Matthews said. She wants to encourage more teachers to join their local associations \u2014 which are affiliated with the UEA \u2014 and to inspire more engagement among current members.\nMatthews believes her experience leading the Park City Education Association from 2009 to 2012 makes her the right person to lead the charge.\n\"We need a UEA leader with a proven experience of building membership,\" she said. \"Under my leadership, Park City membership grew to just over 80 percent. That really changes the conversations that you have, in public and behind closed doors and at negotiations tables. When you\u2019re a partner and representing the vast majority of your people, that brings with it a considerable more influence. I\u2019d like to see that type of influence on a state level.\"\nShe is also hoping to develop strong binds with Utah communities, which she said often have misconceptions about teachers associations. Many people believe the associations only look out for their own interests and hamper a district\u2019s ability to fire bad teachers. Matthews said the picture that\u2019s often painted couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.\nShe said healthy teachers unions advocate for things such as smaller class sizes, due process for teachers and better salary schedules to lure and retain better teachers \u2014 all of which make a difference in the classroom.\n\"I really want to instill the values in our communities and our parents and show them the value we provide,\" she said. \"There\u2019s a whole bunch of research that shows a strong teachers union correlates to student success. When you have a stronger teachers union, you have a collective voice that is advocating for conditions that are conducive for learning for our kids.\"",

        "raw_content": "by Oliver Kemp | Aug 4, 2018 | News | 0 comments\nRight to Work can mean different things to different people. In the USA, some states have regulations stating people have a \u2018right to work\u2019 without being forced to join a union, humanitarian organisations subscribe to the concept that people have a human right to work, or engage in productive employment, and should not be prevented from doing so. In the UK, it is all about immigration compliance and is sometimes also labelled \u2018preventing illegal working.\u2019 This article uses the UK Hime Office term of \u2018right to work\u2019 but the alternative of \u2018preventing illegal working\u2019 gives a good indication of what is required.\nFrom January 1997, employers have been required to make checks on immigration status to check for illegal workers. Initially employers were required to be able to demonstrate a statutory defence, but following new legislation implemented in 2008, employers are now required to demonstrate they have a statutory excuse for all employees.\nThe statutory excuse means employers need to check the identity and immigration status of prospective staff members before employment starts. This requires checking a proscribed document from the Home Office lists of acceptable documents. The employer needs to make basic, but appropriate checks to ensure the document belongs to the person presenting it; check the document is valid proof of right to work and that it is genuine and has not been tampered with. [This is where Passport Proven can help] Most importantly the employer needs to retain a copy of the document checked and be be able to demonstrate they have followed the necessary steps. An audit trail is important, so signing and dating copies also helps.\nIf an employer is satisfied with the documents, then it is likely the statutory excuse is in place; but what if a candidate cannot produce the required documents; or what if there are some doubts? The Home Office advise that employment should not be offered at this stage. It may be that the candidate has to apply for and provide some new documents or that the employer needs to research into their options. Either way it would be a mistake to employ someone without the necessary paperwork being in place. This is because of the potential for a Civil Penalty, or worse.\nEmployers who get this wrong could be subject to an illegal working penalty of up to \u00a320,000 per illegal worker; and if the Home Office can demonstrate that the employer \u201chad reasonable cause to believe\u201d that the employee is an illegal worker, the ultimate penalty can be a prison sentence.\nPassport Proven is here to make this process easier for you. It takes you through the steps of checking a document and provides you with a report meeting the record requirements for the statutory excuse\nIn summary, the right to work in the UK can be defined as the process and record needed to ensure the statutory excuse is in place. The process requires following a few simple steps in order to create the relevant record. Doing this will protect employers from the Civil Penalty.",

        "raw_content": "I. bA_30..f(x)/cantordust/f(f(x))/cant__dust/calm/f(f(f(f(x))))/c_t__d_t\nII. PortRaitS_12&13,**NYC14\nIII. bA_31..BABEL/BbAaBbEeLl/BbgAarBbeEeeLlk/chaos\nIV. PortRait_4teen,**NY2011\nV. PortRait_15,**NYC'11\nAs in a few of my BABEL pieces, the title spells out the word \"Sheshach\", instead of the word \"Babel\", in five different scripts. \"Sheshach\" is a town referred to in the Hebrew bible that is almost certainly just code (using something called the the Atbash cipher) for \"Babel\" or Babylon. In this case, the SH is an illegal, double-consonant use of Korean, the E is Greek, the SH is Futhark, the A is Ancient Mayan and the CH is Morse code. This is a jumbling of the same scripts used in the companion piece to this one, BABEL(maya). The f(f(3)) part of the title means this piece is the third in my f(f(x)) series as well. In this case, that means there are several melodies that contain themselves fractally, and the individual movements are themselves separate pieces inside the larger piece. Really, watch that video, it makes more sense there I think.\nBriefly, this is a five-movement piece written as a duet for me and the incredible Ken Thomson (who is featured in the recording of this piece on my album BABEL fragments). Both of us are multi-instrumentalists, and I wanted to take advantage of that; Ken plays alto sax, clarinet and bari sax at various points, and I play trombone and cello. Some movements also use pre-recorded electronics.\nThe first movement is a duet for alto sax and trombone. It alternates between disjunct music meant to resemble attractors and strange attractors, and a stentorian tone row. In each iteration, the tone row has chunks torn out of it, mimicking the Cantor Set.\nThe second movement is a hot mess. Because it's a smaller BABEL piece inside the larger BABEL piece, it's in five sections, and the five sections themselves ape the forms of the five movements of the piece as a whole. The first section is initially for solo trombone with multiphonics and a plunger mute, but the saxophone gets added, in a section composed using Gregorian chant notation. This mimics the first movement instrumentation. The second chunk explodes with some electronic sounds followed by an army of trombones and saxophones. This is the opposte of a similar moment in the fifth movement of the BABEL(maya) companion piece, but also mirrors the second movement of this piece\u2014which of course is the very movement you're listening to! The armies coalesce into single lines, and a briefly quiet bit is suddenly interrupted by an explosion of noise interspersed with modified cellos and clarinets. This foreshadows the clarinet/cello duet of the third movement, and simultaneously makes another version of the Cantor Set idea introduced in the first movement. The fourth section has live acoustic cello accompanied by electronics, a direct hint of the fourth movement. Finally, the acoustic clarinet replaces the cello and presents a diatonic scale that contains itself, much like the fifth movement will be for Ken and electonics and will have an electronic, self-containing chromatic scale. The last sound is Ken playing a melody using Ancient Greek notation.\nThe third movement is another acoustic duet, but this time for clarinet and cello. This movement was mostly written in Babylonian cuneiform notation (hence the minimalist intervals repeated in odd numbers). The score is a representation of an important graph of a fractal function that models predator/prey populations, which gradually splits into more and more forks until becoming entirely chaotic. The Greek melody from the end of the second movement also makes a few cameos.\nThe fourth movement is a PortRait piece for cello and electronics. It uses the same tone row from the first and fifth movements as well as the weird, disjunct \"attractor\" melodies like in the first.\nThe fifth and final movement is a PortRait piece for bari sax and electronics. It too has a lot of the same musical concerns as previous movements. It ends with a full-on, apeshit solo by Ken as he tries to rip a hole in the space-time continuum with multiphonics and screeches.\nLike its companion piece, BABEL(maya), this piece took a very long time to complete. It was mostly the extremely self-referential second movement that took forever. When we went into the studio to record this piece for BABEL fragments Ken had to just play the parts I knew I would need. The actual movement was pieced together barely in time for mixing.",

Also, rising floodwaters in Thailand forced hundreds of people to flee one of Bangkok's main shelters.\nAccording to NATO, some 200 insurgents have been killed or captured in a pair of Afghan-NATO operations in eastern Afghanistan. A spokesman confirmed the raids today, and said they targeted the Haqqani Network. That militant group is based in Pakistan, but has launched several high-profile attacks inside Afghanistan. Also today, a NATO service member died in a roadside bombing in the south.\nThailand's flood disaster grew even more dire today as one of the main shelters in Bangkok was forced to evacuate. The water rose faster than officials had expected and threatened to cut off the facility. Hundreds of evacuees gathered their belongings and crossed makeshift bridges to move to higher ground. The monsoon flooding began back in August and has killed at least 356 people.\nA bailout fund for the Eurozone nations is set to top $1.4 trillion. That news filtered out today from German officials after a Eurozone summit on Sunday. The stability fund aims to protect countries like Italy and Spain from falling victim to the European debt crisis.\nSpeaking on French radio, the French finance minister called for a lasting solution.\nFRANCOIS BAROIN, French Finance Minister (through translator):\nWe are working day and night on this issue, so as not to get it wrong. What France wants is a strong and solid response, not supplementary steps. There have been too many repetitive crises. We need to draw lessons on governance and we need stable responses.\nThe news out of Europe helped stock markets around the world. Announcements of several corporate takeovers also helped. On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average gained more than 104 points to close at 11913. The Nasdaq rose nearly 62 points to close at 2699.\nArgentina has reelected President Cristina de Kirchner in one of the widest margins of victory in the country's history. Supporters cheered in the streets of Buenos Aires last night after de Kirchner racked up 54 percent of the vote in Sunday's election. Her closest opponent got less than 17 percent. Argentina has enjoyed an economic boom in recent years. Since 2003, the income gap between rich and poor has been cut nearly in half.\nThe online whistle-blowing group WikiLeaks is suspending publication in order to focus on raising money. Founder Julian Assange said in London today that a financial blockade could force the Web site to close altogether by year's end. Visa, MasterCard and Western Union refused to process donations to WikiLeaks after it started publishing thousands of State Department cables last year.",

        "raw_content": "Ark: Survival of the Fittest has been canned and folded into the main game\nFree-to-play Ark spinoff, Ark: Survival of the Fittest, has been taken down and instead placed as a mode inside the main game. The free-to-play battler originally began life as a mod, but the Studio Wildcard decided to spin it into a full project. However, the developers say they \u201cjust aren\u2019t cut out for free-to-play mechanics\u201d.\nLuckily, our list of the best free PC games is busting at the seams.\nAll major updates on the game mode are now on hold, at least until the size of the development team is increased. However, if optimisation work on the main game paves the way for performance updates for the mode, those will happen.\n\u201cIt is very important for us to see how SotF progresses and we want to make sure we\u2019re making the right choices,\u201d Studio Wildcard explain in a Steam post.\n\u201cWe understand that these changes are quite big and will impact the future of game, but hope you can understand our reasons to do so and will continue to support the game mode you love.\u201d\nIn its previous form SotF was a free-to-play game without microtransactions, yet it was still costing the studio to maintain, hence the cancellation.\n\u201cWhen a game like SotF is made free to play, there are still expenses,\u201d the developer explains. \u201cThis can range from development work, server costs, running of tournaments, prizes and of course the opportunity cost.\n\u201cTo ensure that SotF would remain a success and a sound choice, Wildcard would have had to put a lot of resources and time into learning how to become a \u2018free-to-play\u2019 developer. We would have had to learn how to monetise a free game, notoriously through the use of in-app purchases such as skins and other cosmetics.\n\u201cUltimately, it\u2019s clear this is not who we are, we like to make games, and to make the gameplay fun. We don\u2019t know much about monetisation, and quite frankly we aren\u2019t interested in hiring an economics team to take over that process, it is much more in our and your best interest for Wildcard to solely focus on the development of a game.\n\u201cWe just aren\u2019t cut out for free to play mechanics. With SotF being part of Ark: Survival Evolved, it\u2019ll be able to draw from Survival Evolved resource pool directly, and enable us to continue operating the title.\u201d\nWhile some might be disappointed, it\u2019s easy to see why Studio Wildcard went down this route. It was only ever meant to be an experimental thing, but it kind of spun out of control. Now it\u2019s a nice extra mode for Ark players to get stuck into.\nArk dinosaurs taming guide\nArk mods",

He graduated from Whiteville High School in 1945.\nBill began his farming career as a young boy working on his parents\u2019 farm who were tenant farmers in the Chadbourn area. His parents purchased their first farm in the Smyrna Community and resided there until moving to their second farm in the Western Prong Community. His parents had planned for him to go to college having saved their cotton for several years to pay the tuition bill, but Bill convinced his parents to sell the cotton and purchase an additional farm. He discovered early in life that farming was his passion, and did so until his early 80\u2019s. Together with his parents and his son Barry, he grew tobacco, corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, peanuts, strawberries, sweet potatoes, broccoli, beef cows, pigs, and hay.\nIn 1950, the Korean Conflict was a major concern for the country, and Bill felt that it was a young man's duty to serve his country; therefore he volunteered to serve in the U.S. Navy for four years on the USS Osbourn DD 846.\nIn 1960, he married Pearl Watts Freedman and they were blessed with a son William Barry in 1964 and a daughter Ava Michelle Freedman in 1969.\nBill not only had a passion for farming but for spiritual/civic service as well. He was a member of Western Prong Baptist Church having served as deacon, choir member and Sunday School teacher. For forty years, he was a Columbus County Supervisor for Soil and Water Conservation. He served both as county chairperson and as district chairperson. He served forty plus years on the Columbus County Farm Bureau Board of Directors. He was a member of the Columbus County Economic Development Commission for 13 years and served as its vice chairman. He was a member of the Whiteville City School Board of Education for eight years. He was awarded the Woodmen of the World Award for Outstanding Conservationist of the Year in 2007. He served many years on the Elections Committee for Brunswick Electric Membership Cooperation. Until his health began to decline, Bill would be found at most political functions, and he actively supported political leaders. He served as the North Whiteville Precinct Chairperson for numerous years. Bill loved people, and he loved to share his views on many topics.\nBill is survived by his wife, Pearl Watts Freedman; his son, Barry and wife, Lisa Snyder of the Western Prong Community; and his daughter, Michelle Freedman Luhrs and husband, Michael of Charlotte, NC.\nGrandchildren include William Rhett, Michael Bryce, and Zachary Grant Freedman of the Western Prong Community and Ava Lauren and Ashley Michelle Luhrs of Charlotte, NC.\nA funeral service to celebrate his life will be conducted at 2:00 pm Saturday, February 2, 2019 at Western Prong Baptist Church by Rev. Ronnie Wilson. Burial will be in Peacock's Columbus Memorial Park.\nHis family will receive friends 12:30-2:00 pm on Saturday, February 2, 2019 at Western Prong Baptist Church.\nMemorials may be made to the Veterans Memorial Park of America, INC.

        "raw_content": "In the past, people often had teeth extracted due to dental problems. These days, teeth are extracted less frequently because retention of teeth is nearly always better than extraction. However, there are times when extraction is the best treatment option.\nThe aim is to achieve the best outcome over the long term, while giving you the most satisfactory function and appearance possible. Your dentist is in the best position to evaluate your situation.\nREASONS FOR EXTRACTION\nTeeth may have to be removed for several reasons, as follows.\nExtensive Damage to Tooth\nIf a tooth is badly decayed or damaged due to trauma, extraction may be necessary.\nDue to poor dental hygiene and a build up of plaque and calculus (tartar) on a tooth, the gums may become inflamed and infected (periodontal disease). If not treated promptly, periodontal disease is likely to damage the underlying bone and other tissues around the tooth's root. The infection may cause the tooth to become loose in its socket. Despite treatment, saving the tooth may not be possible.\nIf badly diseased teeth are not extracted promptly, complications such as infection or abscesses in the teeth or roots, or the spread of infection through the blood stream to other parts of the body, may occour. This may affect the general health of the patient.\nTo Improve Appearance\nAs part of orthodontic treatment or a treatment plan to improve the appearance of teeht, your dentist may recommend re,oving a tooth that interferes with another.\nCracks in a Tooth Root\nA root may crack or split completely. If repair is not possible, extraction will be necessary.",

That tropical moisture may take a northeastward turn up the east coast late this week and combine with the Ohio Valley moisture to produce quite an unsettled period around here from Friday through Sunday with a daily threat for showers and thunderstorms.\nhttpv://youtu.be/XzzdmljIrAY\n7:00 AM | Very comfortable for a couple of days, but then an unsettled period during the late week/weekend with a tropical connection\n3:00 PM | Watching the tropics; potential exists for tropical moisture to ride up the east coast late this week after dumping on Florida",

After a period of transition into the Rossignol Group, we are proud to launch a new frame collection that marks the renewal of TIME, with an iconic name and mechanical characteristics never before reached.\nWe chose two strong model names for the launch of this new Altitude range: Alpe d'Huez 01 and Alpe d'Huez 21, echoing the 21 corners of this mythical climb. We are the only bike brand allowed to officially use these names, but also the only brand with a particular link with this village, as emblematic as are our bikes.\n\"The quality of TIME bikes and their many victories are part of the history of cycling. Alpe d'Huez and TIME both have a strong identity and common values: tradition, French know-how and upscale. We are proud to associate our name with this iconic brand, and this unique mountain bike.\" Jean-Yves Noyrey - Mayor Huez - Alpe d'Huez.\nThe new Alpe d'Huez 01 is the lightest bike TIME has ever developed. We developed a brand new frame structure which prioritized weight reduction while maintaining rigidity to ensure top performance on climbs.\nWe worked on the frame's weight, while improving the characteristics of strength, power and energy. This gives us a weight / rigidity ratio that is 30% higher than its predecessor, Izon.\nTIME is an ambitious company which remains true to its values, including high-end French know-how, and attention to those that enjoy the products we make. TIME\u2019s exciting next chapter is just beginning in the world of cycling.\nOver the past 30 years, TIME Sport has garnered a reputation of innovation and excellence throughout the cycling world. Founded in the Rh\u00f4ne Alps region of France by Roland Cattin, TIME Sport began with the patent of the industry\u2019s first biomechanical clipless pedal before moving onto the manufacturing of high-performance carbon forks and frames in the early 90\u2019s. Throughout this period, TIME Sport has become an iconic global cycling brand with success at the highest levels of professional competition.",

Note changes in relative intensities at m/z 79, 92, 94, 104, 108, 117 and 120. The difference in intensity at m/z 60 may be unrelated to structural features and probably represents acetic acid derived from the acetate counter-ion of the terminal amino group. Conditions: sample 10 ug; Tc 510\u00b0C; Eel 14 eV.\npreferring faster filament pyrolysis techniques over slow furnace pyrolysis techniques such as direct probe pyrolysis - fast laser pyrolysis might help to produce larger building blocks in protein pyrolysis. Preliminary experiments by Kistemaker et al. (ref. 29), however, failed to demonstrate these larger fragments.\nIn summing up the present situation, we have the distinct impression that, because of the limited success obtained and the availability of powerful alternative techniques, Py-MS techniques may not gain as much momentum in the chemical characterisation of proteins as for some other biopolymers. However, it should be kept in mind that some important classes of proteins, such as glycoproteins, are less amenable to conventional techniques and may therefore constitute an important potential field of application. Also, Py-MS may prove to be of value in the rapid characterisation of protein preparations, when only a limited amount of chemical interpretation is desired (ref. 96). Alternatively, the sensitivity of Py-MS might perhaps allow its use in tandem with conventional protein characterisation techniques, e.g. for the analysis of electrophoretic bands or spots. Finally, Py-MS has proved to be of value in the characterisation of unusual oligopeptide structures such as those encountered in some antibiotics (ref. 61). An example of the Py-MS spectra of two closely related dipeptides is shown in Figure 7, demonstrating the sensitivity of the Curie-point Py-MS technique to minor structural details.",

        "raw_content": "What makes this HS Philly's most improved?\nby Kristen A. Graham, Posted: June 19, 2017\nPrincipal Richard Gordon of Paul Robeson High School with students, including Shawn Pittman. JOY LEE / Staff Photographer\nJOY LEE / Staff Photographer\nPaul Robeson High School was not Jahleel Johnson's first choice.\nFour years ago, the school was on the brink of closure, spared at the last minute after a passionate group of students and supporters persuaded Philadelphia School District officials to give them another chance. Robeson was tiny, with barely 250 students, and hardly anyone knew where it was, tucked away at 41st and Ludlow Streets. Kyairra Mathies had hoped her son would get into schools that had better reputations, but Jahleel's eighth-grade year was rocky, so Robeson was it.\nAhead of Monday contract vote, some PFT members see 'solid contract'\nRaises for Philly teachers in deal worth $395M\nAt 71, teaching is her fountain of youth\nBut then a few remarkable things happened. Robeson, which always had potential, began to make strides, important changes in climate and academics that would lead to its becoming a rising star in the district.\nAnd the school that was once the last place Jahleel ever wanted to be turned out to be the best thing for him. Robeson's faculty encouraged him, and its principal was so devoted to Jahleel's success that he would sit the young man down in his office and tell him to do his homework, and call his mother on weekends to ask her what the school could do to help keep Jahleel on the right path. Now, Jahleel is about to graduate and is headed to Pennsylvania State University to study education, and Robeson has been named the most improved high school in the city.\nIt is a small school made up of predominantly neighborhood students, 88 percent of whom live in poverty, 17 percent of whom qualify for special-education services. And its students are thriving \u2014 98.5 percent of the senior class graduated last year, and more than half went to college.\n\"Everyone here pushes you as hard as they know you can work,\" said Jahleel, 17. \"They're not going to let you slack one bit, and they're never going to give up on you. If I would have gone to any other school, I wouldn't have made it this far.\"\nRichard Gordon IV became Robeson's principal in 2013, shortly after the School Reform Commission gave the school an eleventh-hour reprieve from the chopping block. Gordon was a former central-office staffer who had been principal of Vaux High, which did close that year. He had heard that Robeson needed work, but that it had good things going for it \u2014 teachers who cared, students who wanted to be there.\nBut things felt \"disconnected\" back then, Gordon said. The school climate needed improvement, and students needed more opportunities. He asked students and teachers what they wanted Robeson to be.\nThen Gordon and the faculty went about building it. They re-established a National Honor Society and student government. They expanded existing partnerships and built new ones, using the school's University City location to its best advantage. Robeson does not have a functional science lab, but some students take science classes at Drexel University. There are partnerships with the University of Pennsylvania and others; some students work at the M\u00fctter Museum.\nRobeson High has forged partnerships across the city. Here, a group of Robeson students work on an experiment in a Drexel University lab with the help of Drexel faculty and undergraduates.\nThe school has a human services focus and a three-year health-related technology program. It has peer mediation and mentoring programs. And it is a tight-knit place; staff outfitted four students who had too little money to dress for and attend the prom and made sure they got there. The city is taking notice; Robeson's enrollment has climbed to 300.\n\"At Robeson, it's OK to try hard and be yourself,\" said Jahleel, who is also a standout athlete from South Philadelphia.\nThat's a point of pride for Gordon, and a reason the school has five applications for each of the 75 seats in his freshman class.\n\"My kids are academic in this building, and we're nice to each other every single day,\" he said.\nRobeson is a citywide admissions school, which means it has some selection criteria \u2014 students can have no D's on their report cards and must have good attendance to qualify for entrance \u2014 but the school often works with students on the cusp who have compelling personal stories and display a willingness to work hard, Gordon said. Once they're in, it's his job to remove barriers for them.\nGordon knows each of his students. He can tell you who likes NASCAR, who's a good singer, and who has a real interest in aerospace engineering. Students take his open-door policy so seriously that a steady stream of them come in during class breaks or lunches, drawn partly by the snacks he keeps stocked and partly by the way he seems to have a personal message for everyone.\n\"You came up on my list for attendance,\" he told one girl recently who stopped in for a handful of animal crackers. \"I need you to be consistent and take care of things.\"\nHe keenly understands the challenges that many of his students face. Gordon's father, Richard III, was a drug dealer who was often incarcerated, but after one arrest, his mother, living in Philadelphia, drove her son to New Jersey every day so he could continue going to school at Pennsauken High School.\n\"I can look my students straight in the face and say, 'There are no excuses. I've been there,'\" Gordon said.\nGordon will receive the Marcus Foster Award this week, a prize given to one excellent district high school principal annually.\nMathies will never forget that Gordon and his teachers took Jahleel under their wing, gave him their phone numbers, and encouraged him to reach out when he was having a tough time buckling down in his freshman year.\n\"They helped mold him into a nice young man,\" Mathies said. \"I have nothing but positive things to say about the school.\"\nYvette Johnson, a sophomore, lives in the Northeast and travels 45 minutes each way to get to Robeson. She doesn't regret the decision.\n\"Mr. Gordon said there were a lot of opportunities here, and there are,\" said Yvette, who participates in the Drexel program that allowed her to take a science class on a college campus at age 15.\nThe school is not Masterman or Central, Gordon underscores. While its literacy and biology scores on state tests have improved, it still has a long way to go in math, with only 8 percent of students meeting Pennsylvania standards. Overall, it scored a 49 of 100 on the state's school performance report metric.\nStudents listen to teacher Andrew Saltz in an English class at Robeson High School in University City.\nBut it has heart, rarely suspends students, and needs no security cameras. And even on a sweltering school day cut short by excessive heat, English teacher Andrew Saltz finally had to shoo students out of his class long after the bell rang. As usual, they didn't want to leave.\n\"You can't slip through the cracks here because there aren't any cracks,\" said Saltz, a driving force behind the effort to save the school in 2013.\n\"It's a redemption story,\" the principal said. \"Students have bought into this school, and they succeed here.\"\nRobeson High At A Glance\nFounded: 2004. The school was formerly a campus of Bartram High.\nLocated: 4125 Ludlow St., the former Catto School building.\nEnrollment: 305 students, up from 250 in 2013.\nStudent profile: 88 percent of students live in poverty. Seventeen percent have special needs. Six percent are English-language learners.\nHow it measures up: The school scored a 49 of 100 on the Philadelphia School District\u2019s School Progress Report. Its students posted significant academic growth, earning it the designation of most improved high school in the city. Ninety-eight percent of students graduated last year; more than half went on to college.\nSpecial admissions: Robeson is a citywide special admissions school, meaning students living anywhere in the city can apply. Admissions standards are not as rigorous as city magnet schools, but to be considered, students must have no D\u2019s and strong attendance. Most Robeson students come from West and Southwest Philadelphia, but others come from across the city.\nWhat teachers say: \u201cYou can\u2019t slip through the cracks here, because there aren\u2019t any cracks,\u201d says Andrew Saltz, an English teacher.\nWhat students say: \u201cEveryone here pushes you as hard as they know you can work,\u201d says Jahleel Johnson, a senior. \u201cThey\u2019re not going to let you slack one bit, and they\u2019re never going to give up on you.\u201d",

You could measure the slope of that curve, but the slope would be different at every point along the line. You could make a large table of values, like this one:\nat x=1 the slope is 2\nBut what if you didn't want to have to pull out the ruler to measure the slope every time? What if you could represent the slope by an equation? Then if you wanted to know the slope at x=4, you wouldn't have to measure it -- you could just solve the equation.\nCalculus allows you to find this equation. For the parabola y=x^2, it happens that the slope is given by the equation m=2x. Thus at the point x=4, the slope is m = 2(4) = 8.\nIt's beyond the scope of this board to explain exactly why the slope of the parabola y=x^2 is m=2x, so I will refer you to any good calculus textbook.\nIn general, calculus deals with equations in which variables are changing -- in this case, the slope.\nTo provide another more concrete example, let's say you wanted to calculate how much food a person eats over his/her lifetime. You can't just say \"a person eats 1.2 pounds of food every day for 80 years\" because the amount of food the person eats per day changes throughout their lifetime. You could use calculus to find the answer.\nCalculus goes into two categories:\n(a)Differential calculus deals with calculating equations giving the rate of change of functions with respect to some variable. An example would be establishing the exact gradient of the equation at a certain point. Expressions hence found are called the derivative of an equation. For example, the derivative of velocity with respect to time is acceleration.\n(b)Integral calculus does the reverse, going from the derivative to a full function, or from a full function to find things like the area under the curve. Such products of integration are called integrals. For example, the integral of velocity is displacement.\nThe first useful thing you generally do with calculus is apply it to the equations of motion in Newtonian physics. The derivative (slope equation) of the position equation is the velocity equation and the derivative of the velocity equation is the acceleration equation.\nJust to expand a little bit about integral calculus:\nSuppose we have a curve but because of the irregularity of the shape, it is rather difficult to compute the area underneath the curve. However, if we divide the area into small rectangles of equal width, we could add the areas of the triangles to get an approximation of the area. The more rectangles we have, the more accurate our approximation.\nWhat definite integrals do is they take the number of rectangles to approach infinity, thus having a very accurate approximation for the area.\n(This is a thread that asks for an explanation\nof calculus. \"Most textbooks\" don't explain this\nproperly.)\nYep, one could say that calculus is the *algebraic* study of the rate of change of things. For instance, most historians of calculus refer to book II in the principia, where the rule of integration of monomials is suggested, and they neglect to refer to book I, where infinitesimal limits are used for dynamics.\narivero, Mar 24, 2003",

        "title": "The Yellow Brick Road Casino New York Review, Online Casino Details",
        "raw_content": "The Yellow Brick Road Casino\nPlay NY > New York Casino List > The Yellow Brick Road Casino\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino overview\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino is a Wizard of Oz inspired Native American casino in Chittenango, New York.\nThe $20 million casino opened to the public in June 2015 and celebrates the community\u2019s connection with the iconic book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum. Baum was born in the Village of Chittenango. The book inspired the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.\nThere was some controversy surrounding the casino\u2019s opening, considering Baum wrote newspaper editorials supporting Native American genocide, but the project went ahead regardless. The Yellow Brick Road Casino is owned and operated by the Oneida Indian Nation, which also owns and operates the Turning Stone Casino Resort in Verona, NY. Turning Stone was New York State\u2019s first land-based casino when it opened in 1993.\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino opened up with slot machines and a Bingo Hall, but the Bingo Hall was converted to a table games floor in December 2015 in response to public demand. The property features a smoke-free environment with Wizard of Oz themed decor, promotions, and restaurants and bars.\nA yellow brick road leads patrons to the casino which also features yellow brick tile and Oz-themed carpet throughout. There is also 16-foot high brass and steel tornado sculpture with a cash and prizes cyclone inside.\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino is in Upstate New York, just twenty minutes east of the City of Syracuse. The casino is in the Tops Chittenango Plaza on Route 5 which also features a Wizard of Oz themed Tops supermarket.\nWizard of Oz themed gaming space\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino includes 60,000 square feet of gaming space with more than 440 slots and video poker machines. There are also upwards of a dozen table games.\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino features dozens of popular and themed slots and gaming machines, including:\nAladdin\u2019s Fortune 3D\nAlice The Mad Teaparty\nGame King Multi Game\nLucky Hot 7\u2019s\nWicked Winning\nWonder Woman Wild\nWonder Women Gold\nTable games on offer at the Yellow Brick Road Casino include:\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino also offers Keno throughout the property. There is a Keno lounge in Wizard Hall, and the game is available at bars, restaurants, and various digital displays.\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino isn\u2019t among the largest casino properties in the state, but the Wizard of Oz theme and partnerships with other local businesses and museums running with the same idea have turned it into a tourist destination with more than enough gaming space to handle the crowds. Patrons of the Yellow Brick Road Casino must be 18 or older to gamble.\nReady for iGaming now\nOnline casino gaming is not currently being considered by New York lawmakers. Should it ever be, the Yellow Brick Road Casino is expected to be early adopters, considering it is owned an operated by the same Oneida Indian Nation that runs the Turning Stone Casino Resort. Turning Stone Online Casino already offers free-to-play casino games and slots through an app for iOs and Android devices.\nThe Turning Stone Online Casino app offers more than 50 free casino slots and table games that pay out rewards players can use on the property. The Yellow Brick Road Casino shares Turning Stone\u2019s rewards program.\nAs early adopters with the software in place, Yellow Brick Road Casino would likely be ready, willing and able to offer online casino gaming should New York State lawmakers ever get behind the idea.\nIt is also worth noting the Oneida Indian Nation has taken on all legal challenges when it comes to its right to offer casino gambling, and would presumably fight for its legal right to offer iGaming in New York as well.\nWizard of Oz themed online poker room?\nTwo identical bills which would legalize and regulate online poker in the state of New York were introduced into the New York Senate and Assembly in the first quarter of 2017. Westchester Assemblyman and the State Assembly\u2019s Chairman of the Committee on Racing and Wagering J. Gary Pretlow claimed there is very little standing in the way, and all of New York\u2019s licensed casino and Racino properties support the idea.\nThis would presumably include the Yellow Brick Road Casino, considering its connection to the Turning Stone Casino Resort. There is no poker room at the Yellow Brick Road Casino, but Turning Stone hosts one of the largest Poker Rooms in the state, and regularly hosts major poker events.\nShould the future of poker in New York include online poker rooms, a Wizard of Oz themed online poker offering from the Yellow Brick Road Casino would not be out of the question.\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino: A tourist destination\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino\u2019s Wizard of Oz theme has helped turn the property into a tourist destination.\nAlongside the casino, The Yellow Brick Road Casino also operates a Community Room with:\nA 900 square foot conference area\nA 400 square foot pre-function area\nComplimentary Wi-Fi and 7\u2019x7\u2019 screen\nThe Yellow Brick Road Casino\u2019s Wizard of Oz theme extends to all four restaurants and bars on the property, including:\nDorothy\u2019s Farmhouse \u2013 counter-service restaurant serving home-style cooking\nWicked Good Pizza \u2013 sit-down or take-out hand tossed pizza, wings, sandwiches and salads\nHeart and Courage Saloon \u2013 a country-western style bar\nWinged Monkey \u2013 cocktails and beer\nProperty amenities also include the Oz General Store, which sells:\nPre-packaged food and beverages\nThrough its partnership with Turning Stone Resort Casino, the Yellow Brick Road Casino offers free membership in the TS Rewards Card program. Through casino game play, TS Rewards Card members can earn:\nPoints earned with the card can also be redeemed for:\nOther services on the property\nTurning Stone Resort Casino accommodations",

        "title": "Art Garfunkel's Endearing, Impressionistic, Reflective Thoughts About His Life and Times",
        "raw_content": "What Is It All but Luminous: Notes from an Underground Man\nAuthor: Art Garfunkel\nThe musical comedy duo of Garfunkel and Oates (Ricki Lindhomme and Kate Micucci) illustrates a problem that\u2019s plagued partners for years, in particular, Art Garfunkel, as he\u2019s defined himself within and without the presence of childhood friend Paul Simon. The joke starts with their very name. Garfunkel and Oates are supposed to be seen as also-rans, incidentals, finally coming out from behind the shadows of their more popular (or talented?) partners. If Simon and Hall created a partnership, they\u2019d cancel each other out. After all, leaders can\u2019t share a stage. Excessive ego from the wizards at the control booth and the freedom for self-indulgent flourishes needs a Type A and a Type B.\nThe other joke about Garfunkel and Oates is that their counterparts weren\u2019t known for grandstanding rock star behavior. If the bottom half of a folk duo and a blue-eyed soul partnership come together, perhaps the only result can be comic.\nIn his new memoir, What Is It All but Luminous: Notes from an Underground Man, the 75-year-old Garfunkel reveals the soft, lush, probably difficult, and definitely peculiar character that has been taking notes, observing, singing, and remembering for over 50 years. He\u2019s walked across the United States and through many other parts of the world. He\u2019s starred in such landmark films as Carnal Knowledge and oddities like Bad Influence. The Garfunkel known for the soaring showcase songs as \u201cFor Emily, Wherever I May Find Her\u201d, \u201cApril Come She Will\u201d, and \u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d was deeper, needier on film, with a touch of East Coast upper-class intelligentsia entitlement and poor impulse control.\nGarfunkel definitely understands how to open a memoir. It\u2019s 2 January 1969, and he\u2019s packing for a trip from New York City down to Mexico to appear in the Mike Nichols adaptation of Catch-22. It\u2019s a scene close to the heart of any Simon & Garfunkel fan who remembers the opening of \u201cOnly Living Boy In New York\u201d. In that song, Simon sings to his partner: \u201cTom, get your plane ride on time/ I know that your part will go fine\u201d. They were known as teen rock duo Tom and Jerry in the late '50s, scoring a minor hit with \u201cHey Schoolgirl\u201d. As with much that came in the lives of Art Garfunkel and his pal Paul Simon, though, two Queens friends born within weeks of each other in the fall of 1941, the intensity of a childhood friendship bonded forever through the love of music could break at a moment\u2019s notice:\n\u201cThen, in 1958 comes Betrayal\u2026 Oh so dramatic\u2026 It is a surprise blow to the gut. Boy\u2019s love is a beautiful thing. I loved my turned-on friend\u2026 Surprise\u2026\nHe was releasing a record behind my back\u2026 He\u2019s base, I concluded\u2026 the friendship was shattered for life\u2026 I never forget and I never really forgive -- just collect the data and speckle the picture.\u201d\nIt\u2019s a suitably dramatic moment near the start of this book, and the reader wonders if there will be deeper eviscerations of his one-time close partner. Wisely, Garfunkel takes the high road, and it\u2019s the only logical approach. Still, Garfunkel knows he both cannot and should not erase Simon from the story. Simon was and remains a big presence in the life of Garfunkel, but he is only one of many elements to the years covered here. For Garfunkel, theirs was \u201c\u2026a singular love affair\u2026 From age eleven to today, a span of sixty-four years, Art and Paul have been at work to entertain, win the respect of, and dazzle one another.\u201d\nThere are certain indulgences the reader will need to accept as a given in What Is It All but Luminous. That Garfunkel will occasionally refer to himself in the third person can be forgiven because the way he unravels his story, he has to deal with the persona of the artist. Who was he as part of Simon & Garfunkel? He\u2019s telling us that the connection has been strong for 64 years, and there\u2019s no reason not to believe him. The difficulty seems to be in the fact that chronologically, the recording career and sporadic reunions (1963-1970, 1981, 2003, 2009), reflect a partnership that thrived in the '60s and (perhaps understandably) has coasted on the fumes of legacy and audience goodwill since 1970. Are we truly meaningful artists if we stop looking for ways to interpret the same old song?\nGarfunkel may be humble and graceful, appreciative of opportunities and aware of his place in the star-making machinery, but he isn\u2019t beyond boasting. \u201cPaul won the writer\u2019s royalties, I got the girls,\u201d he writes. Later, in a conversation with John Lennon about his Paul, Garfunkel suggests: \u201creturn to the harmony. If you loved making the sound with him, forget personality, forget all history. Go for the jelly roll.\u201d Much of this memoir leads us to believe Garfunkel didn\u2019t take his own advice to heart, but that doesn\u2019t matter. The struggle for ownership of the songs they performed together must have been overwhelming for Garfunkel. It\u2019s not about who intellectually wrote the material but rather who brought it to life:\n\u201cAuthorship may be trumpeted. It may be declared. It may be declined\u2026 Your beautiful musical soul is the author of mine.\u201d\nThe '70s were a halcyon time for Garfunkel, or at least the first half of the decade was. Simon & Garfunkel had split, but Garfunkel found roles in the two aforementioned Mike Nichols films Catch-22 and Carnal Knowledge. He recorded strong albums, Angel Clare and Breakaway (the latter featuring his 1975 reunion hit with Simon \u201cMy Little Town\u201d). 1977\u2019s Watermark featured the sublime three-part harmony of Simon, Garfunkel, and James Taylor singing \u201c(What a) Wonderful World\u201d. Garfunkel embraced Jimmy Webb songs, Randy Newman ballads, American standards, and made them all his own in a way that was perfect for the easy listening FM era. Garfunkel saw an opening in the pop star field and he took it.\nEarly in the book, Garfunkel reflects that his life has been a two-act play. The first ended with \u201cBridge Over Troubled Water\u201d, what he called the summit, and the reader wonders what that means not just for the remainder of his life but the rest of the book. He lost his girlfriend Laurie Bird by the end of the '70s, and things seemed to understandably spiral down into darkness. He had 1981\u2019s \u201cConcert in Central Park\u201d with Simon, and he started to walk and write. \"Since Laurie died, I lived in my own rarefied air. I put the 'e' in artist every day.\" He connects with his pal Jack Nicholson, who tells him \u201cG, I\u2019m your new partner. I talk, you write it down. You can take all the credit and money this time.\u201d\nGarfunkel\u2019s heart breaks and seems to be still breaking in the middle passages of this book. Far from a conventional memoir, What Is It All but Luminous is a collection of journal entries, poems, and reflections about life around him, and if things started to drift by the mid-'80s, perhaps it\u2019s understandable. Garfunkel\u2019s walking journeys and motorcycle sojourns are well-chronicled elsewhere, and when he gets to them in this book the reader is understandably frustrated. Do we want to go on this trip with him? How will this long journey be compressed into a compelling narrative?\nThe short answers are yes, and it\u2019s hard to tell. We want to go on this trip because we know the angelic voice from Simon & Garfunkel, the tall one with the curly red/blonde afro who always stood beside his partner, never behind. The long road trips and other solo odysseys are part of the bargain, and it\u2019s here where much of What Is It All but Luminous gets filled with lists and information. There are four lists of books that he's read during certain times, a list of the people to whom he is devoted, an alphabetized list (a-n) of what he believes our years beyond 65 are all about, a list of life achievements, what\u2019s on his iPod, a collection of affirmations, and the 25 records that changed his life. It\u2019s exhausting and elaborated on in more detail in ArtGarunkel.com, which is where a more focused writer might have kept these items. Parts boastful (the books), and sincerely impressive (life achievements), the lists reflect the life of a math major, a man eager to be accountable for things, to collect experiences and watch them as they interact with each other. Compiled in this matter in a book that\u2019s easily absorbed over a few hours, they seem more like stalling tactics than passages that will truly add different shades of understanding to the rich and varied life of this man.\nWhat Is It All but Luminous can be a frustrating read, yet it's admirably consistent. It\u2019s the story of a man loyal to his friends, equally comfortable hanging out with the inimitable Nicholson and then spending days at a time alone, in solitude, on a literal and figurative journey. The reader might have been better served with more reflections about time on the set of Carnal Knowledge and Catch 22, but Garfunkel offers equally important reminiscences about the Everly Brothers:\n\u201c\u2026it all took flight when Don and Phil Everly started having hits in 1956\u2026 Every syllable of every word of every line had a shine, a great Kentucky inflection, charisma in the diction. From moment to moment they worked the mic with star quality. The Everlys were our models.\u201d He almost ruins this goodwill much later in the book when- again reflecting on the '50s, he temporarily assumes a dialect:\n\u201cHow to remember de rock and roll of de early days\u2026 In dos days we just had Elvis an\u2019 de Fab Four.\u201d\nIt\u2019s strange, borderline offensive, but by this point, the reader is accustomed to Garfunkel\u2019s perspective. The greatest love for Art Garfunkel has obviously been his wife Kim, married since 1988, with whom he\u2019s shared his life and the raising of two sons. However, the deepest love story still seems to be the one between Art Garfunkel and his childhood friend Paul Simon. In a somewhat discursive note late in the book, Garfunkel notes something that can stand as a major theme in this strange but endearing and compelling book. It\u2019s about companionship, about agape love or romantic connection, and about a life that can only be truly fulfilled when shared with another person:\n\u201cWhen do-si-dos are over, show the hidden heart -- honor your partner.\u201d",

According to the National Diabetes Services Scheme (NDSS), there are 4698 people confirmed to be living with diabetes in the Port Stephens local government area. This represents 6.3 per cent of the population, which is well above the national average of 5.3 per cent. Of those Port Stephens residents registered with NDSS, 4157 people are living with type 2 diabetes. It is likely there are many more living with silent, undiagnosed type 2 diabetes.

The growing prevalence of diabetes warrants an urgent call for people to know more about the condition. To save lives and billions in healthcare costs, it\u2019s time the signs and symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes were more widely recognised. Type 2 diabetes is known as the \u201csilent\u201d condition because there are often no obvious signs and symptoms. A delayed diagnosis can have a very serious impact on a person\u2019s health and life. Type 2 diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, amputation, kidney damage and heart attack in Australia. But our data shows that if it is detected early and managed well complications like these can be prevented. That\u2019s why, this week we are encouraging everyone over 40 to ask their doctor for a diabetes test at their next appointment. Diabetes NSW and ACT figures also show that one in five people with type 1 diabetes are only diagnosed after being admitted to hospital with diabetes ketoacidosis, an acute complication which can be fatal. Diabetes doesn\u2019t discriminate and knowing the signs and symptoms saves lives. The next person diagnosed could be your mum or dad, partner, brother, sister or child.

The jazz group will present \u201cA Tribute to Benny Goodman\u201d on Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Helen M. Hosmer Concert Hall at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music.\nJulian Bliss is one of the world\u2019s finest clarinetists, excelling as a concerto soloist, chamber musician, jazz artist, masterclass leader and tireless musical explorer. Born in the United Kingdom, he started playing the clarinet age four, going on to study in the U.S. at Indiana University and in Germany under Sabine Meyer. The breadth and depth of his artistry are reflected in the diversity and distinction of his work. In recital and chamber music, Bliss has played at most of the world\u2019s leading festivals and venues.\nRecreating the exciting sound of swing from the \u201930s and \u201940s, Bliss will lead his septet through some of the great tunes of the swing era, staying true to the authentic feel but with a modern twist. He became enamored with the performances of Benny Goodman at the age of seven, and in 2010, decided to form a group to perform Goodman\u2019s music. The group\u2019s album, \u201cA Tribute to Benny Goodman,\u201d was recorded in 2011 and released on Signum Records in 2012 to critical acclaim from both jazz and classical reviewers.\n\u201cThe Julian Bliss Septet and \u2018A Tribute to Benny Goodman\u2019 celebrates not only the virtuoso pioneer of American swing music but captures the vibrant joy of a simple unadorned melody played with feeling and conviction,\u201d said one review in Critical Jazz.\nFor live performances, Bliss offers an unbiased point of view about the work of Goodman, talking the audience through the music and sharing anecdotes and stories about Goodman\u2019s life, all delivered with humor.

        "raw_content": "The Resistible Rise of Benjamin Netanyahu\nThe first major English-language profile of Benjamin Netanyahu, the divisive and controversial Prime Minister of Israel.\nBenjamin Netanyahu is one of the longest-serving Prime Ministers of Israel. For much of the world, Netanyahu is a right-wing nationalist zealot; for many Israelis he is a centrist who is too soft on Arabs and backs down too easily in a fight. Love him or loathe him, Netanyahu has been at the very centre of Arab-Israeli politics since 1990, when he became the telegenic Israeli spokesman for CNN's coverage of the Persian Gulf War, arguably ushering in the Americanization of the Israeli media. Netanyahu is famous for his TV skills, but there is so much more to reveal--good and bad--about the man and his place in Israeli, Middle Eastern and world political history.\nAt present there is no major profile of Netanyahu in the English language, so the publication of this book is a landmark of considerable importance, especially as in March 2015 he was re-elected for a further term in office. Using the juncture of the Oslo Accords to take the reader back to Netanyahu's formative years, Neill Lochery, a renowned scholar of Middle Eastern politics and history, chronicles not only the Prime Minister's life but also the issues his career has encompassed, from the rise of militant Islam to the politics of oil; from the transformation of Israeli politics by the 24/7 cable news cycle to the US's changing role in the Middle East.",

        "raw_content": "Shopping rush can\u2019t wait for Black Friday\nBy the time the turkey comes out of the oven, some big retailers will already be open.\nThe turkey is brining, the silver is polished, and the tablecloth is ironed for your fancy Thanksgiving dinner. So you know what that means: It\u2019s time to make your game plan for shopping the Black Friday deals.\nHere, we\u2019ve answered key questions in an attempt to help you get smart about filling that shopping cart \u2013 whether yours is real or virtual.\nWhen do the sales start? While most big retailers will offer a special menu of deals that start Thursday and Friday, plenty have already gotten the promotion action started. Target launched its 10-day blitz of category-specific deals on Nov. 22, and Amazon began offering fresh holiday deals as often as every five minutes back on Nov. 20. Wal-Mart launched thousands of discounts way back on Nov. 1.\nThat said, here\u2019s a lineup of when many brick-and-mortar stores will kick off their official Black Friday bonanzas.\nKeep in mind that many of these chains will give you online access to their doorbuster deals before they start the in-store action. Wal-Mart, for example, will start its online sale at 12:01 a.m. Pacific Time on Thanksgiving, while Sears will launch them at 8 p.m. Central Time on Wednesday.\n\u2022 6 a.m. Kmart is the first to open its brick-and-mortar outposts.\n\u2022 3 p.m. JCPenney opens, making it one of few retailers to open its doors earlier this year than last year.\n\u2022 5 p.m. Best Buy and Toys R Us open.\n\u2022 6 p.m. More retail heavyweights kick off sales, including Target, Macy\u2019s, Wal-Mart and Kohl\u2019s.\n\u2022 10 p.m. to midnight. This is roughly the time when many malls and specialty chains will start welcoming shoppers. Before you head out, it\u2019s probably best to check with your local shopping center and see which stores are scheduled to open when.\nThroughout the morning: Big chains that stayed closed for Thanksgiving \u2013 including H&M, T.J.Maxx and Staples \u2013 will join the deals fray.\nWhat items are going to be hot? Analysts and retailers are predicting it\u2019s going to be a big year for toys: \u201cStar Wars\u201d merchandise, especially, is expected to sell briskly this year given all the hype around the new movie in the franchise that is set to open in December.\nBut \u201cStar Wars\u201d isn\u2019t the only hot toy property this season. Experts and forecasters predict items from Paw Patrol, Lego Dimensions and Skylanders will also be big sellers. And NRF survey data found that Barbie is the most in-demand character among parents shopping for little girls this year, perhaps good news for Mattel and its new Hello Barbie, which is equipped with voice-recognition software.\nOn the electronics front, HHGregg has said it expects it to be a \u201c4K holiday,\u201d with many shoppers choosing to upgrade their TVs to sets that boast this sharper picture resolution. (And you can expect many that opt for 4K will be getting it in a huge size.)\nBased on buzz on social media, Adobe predicts we\u2019ll also see strong sales of wearable devices such as Apple Watches and Fitbits; game consoles such as Playstation 4; and video games such as Minecraft and Halo 5.",

Much of the environmental impact and human cost is exported, as to China and Africa. The U.S. no longer mines rare-earth elements.\nBy 2050, the amount of solar panel waste in the world, already at 250,000 metric tons at the end of 2016, could reach 78 million metric tons, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). When panels are broken, as by hail, tornadoes, or hurricanes, pollutants such as lead or carcinogenic cadmium can be almost completely washed out of the fragments by rainwater over several months.\nWind turbines have been called the \"rotors of sickness,\" and the German Ministry of Environment has been accused of covering up evidence of harmful levels of infrasound, sound at too low a frequency to be heard. Effects include reducing cardiac muscle strength. Infrasound affects the inner ear and the brain and can cause sleeplessness, emotional reactions, and many other distressing symptoms. It has been investigated for use as a weapon.\nRooftop solar panels have caught fire, and nearly destroyed an apartment complex in Holland, while releasing toxic fumes. Wind turbines have been described as a \"perfect incendiary device.\"\n\"Regulators and politicians ignore the devastating environmental impact on the huge land areas needed by wind and solar farms,\" Dr. Orient said, \"while imposing costly requirements on other energy sources for relatively trivial effects.\"\n\"Energy poverty due to unreliable and unaffordable energy is also a major health threat,\" she added. \"Carbon-based fuels supply 80 percent of the world's energy. Why are they not considered 'green'? The carbon dioxide they release is essential for life and is measurably greening the earth.\"\nhttp://www.physiciansforcivildefense.org\nFeb 05, 2019, 14:45 ET Ocasio-Cortez's 'Green New Deal' Is a Green Disaster, States...\nJan 08, 2019, 12:07 ET Is the 'World's Only Superpower' Defenseless?, Asks Physicians...",

        "raw_content": "In the run up to the launch of Feel and Feel More we\u2019re spending some time with our brilliant cast and creative team. Next up is the very talented Ben Fensome who chats to us about his role as \u201cLuke\u201d in Feel More in a great new piece written by Jack Albert Cook.\nI am tall and messy.\nHow do you feel today? \u00b7\nGood thanks! I\u2019m very much looking forward to reading the monologue Jack Albert Cook is writing for me.\nGot to be Meryl. I wrote a whole blog once watching all her films and still not bored.\nIf you could play any role that you haven\u2019t played so far, what would it be and why?\nI\u2019d be positively terrible at it, but I\u2019d love a crack at Coriolanus. Something about that hot-headed, hyper-masculine, proud, soldier thing that is completely alien to me I\u2019d like to explore.\nWhat\u2019s the best thing about living in London?\nWorld class West End theatre, if that\u2019s too expensive tonnes of excellent fringe theatre, if that\u2019s too expensive, plenty of amazing free galleries/culture to take advantage of.\nI\u2019m mostly scared of not being able to (for whatever reason) tell a character\u2019s story believably. Most excited by those rare transcendent moments where everything seems to align, and you really feel in sync with the character, the other performers and the audience.\nWhat\u2019s been the most challenging thing you\u2019ve ever done on stage?\nI co-wrote a play with a friend from drama school in which we played a couple from the age of 21, every seven years (the title incidentally), up to when they are 86. Ageing a character through a very subtle physicality was a huge challenge and surprisingly was a lot more of an emotional process to both ourselves and the audience than we first realised, but it proved to be an extremely rewarding experience.\nIt scares me how much I relate to: \u201cI will do such things - what they are yet I know not - but they shall be the terrors of the earth!\u201d from King Lear on a daily basis.\n\u00b7What do you like most about the world of Feel / Feel More and why do think people should buy a ticket?\nFor Feel More I love the idea of taking little snapshots at a group of disparate people and what it will reveal about life in London at this fairly tumultuous time whilst also being funny.\nA couple years ago I did my Grade 2 piano exam (alongside all the 7 year olds) and plan this year to do my Grade 3.\nBen is an actor and writer based in London and plays \u201cLuke\u201d in \u201cFeel More\u201d written by Jack Albert Cook. we\u2019re lining him him up for a super masculine starring role in a future production of Coriolanus.

Until I met him this morning and he told me that I had the most exciting post on his round. If only he knew the amount of theatrical nonsense he delivered and I\u2019d managed to accumulate over the last three years. I wonder if he knows that behind my front door was Lady Bracknell\u2019s handbag, almost the whole of Saucy Jack\u2019s bar (complete with Glitter Boots) and one very expensive customised small stage box from the first version of Reading Gaol. Our postman is only one small part of helping to create the worlds we\u2019ve put together the last three years, and that little stage box is about to head to a much bigger stage than the last time we saw it, alongside today\u2019s package, with lord alone knows what\u2019s inside.\nSo what\u2019s it all about? Well, the marketing describes Reading Gaol as a \u201cremix\u201d of Oscar Wilde\u2019s classic \u201cBallad of Reading Gaol\u201d with five new pieces of writing and storytelling with some physical theatre thrown in for good measure. We use the original work by Wilde as a \u201cframing\u201d mechanism to tell the stories of five prisoners each with their own voices and personalities. You\u2019ll find out more about them and their stories in the weeks to come \u2013 and I\u2019m sure some of them will pop up here in the next few weeks.\nReading Gaol is really a darker, more unexplored version of Oscar Wilde\u2019s story. We\u2019re all familiar with the lighter, more comedic elements of his work, but the end of his life was altogether a darker affair. From respected society figure to dying in poverty and disgrace, the end of his life was as far removed from the sparkling and witty figure we\u2019d all prefer to remember him as. We\u2019re choosing in this version to use Wilde\u2019s story as in inspiration, a look into one man\u2019s darkest hour as a parallel with Wilde\u2019s own story (but with our usual twist on proceedings \u2013 so expect a more \u201cmodern\u201d and fresh version of the show than we staged last year.)\nFor this new version of the show, we\u2019ve gone back and revised some of the staging a little bit, (we\u2019ve got more space to play with, for a start) and we\u2019re going to be looking at using some of the more practical elements offered by Theatre N16 in its brilliant, brand new space at Styx in Tottenham. We\u2019re going to really bring home that brutal sense of incarceration for the audience and push our actors a little bit more than in the previous production, so if you saw the production before, you\u2019ll definitely be seeing something new and interesting in this new version. The brilliant thing about Reading Gaol last time was the fact that it made people talk in the pub afterwards, and we hope that this will be the same this time. One of the things I love about my job is sitting in the audience watching people\u2019s reaction during the show, and I\u2019m excited to see what you make of this brand-new version of the show.\nWe\u2019ve got a brilliant cast for this version of the production, and we\u2019re delighted to be introducing some new performers to our growing family. I\u2019m really looking forward to spending time with them and seeing what they bring to Monster, Guardian, Human, Innocent and Hero. We have five really strong pieces of writing from Cat, Simon, Erin and James and it\u2019s also a dream to welcome back Harriet Lambert and Erin Read to Team \u201cTriple Threat\u201d and produce a bigger, more exciting version of one of our first true collaborations together.\nSo, look out for updates from us in the weeks to come. We\u2019ve got a load of plans for some blogs, lots of behind the scenes stuff and more content as we chart our journey back into the dark, and I really hope to meet some of you either in the run up to the show or in the bar afterwards. Grab your tickets while you can, this one is going to be special.\nNow if you\u2019ll excuse me, I\u2019ve got five prisoner\u2019s uniforms and five mail sacks to unpack. I wouldn\u2019t want the postman to think I was ignoring him, would I?\nDavid is Artistic Director of Proforca Theatre Company and director of Reading Gaol (2018).

        "title": "2011 Press Releases - ProQuest History Vault Debuts",
        "raw_content": "ProQuest History Vault Debuts\nRich primary source content from University Publications of America unlocked with single search access\nProQuest is unlocking the rich, primary source material it acquired with University Publications of America (UPA) through a new digital archive called ProQuest History Vault. Its first three modules are being released this year and will provide researchers with a unique, unfiltered view into the Black Freedom Struggle and U.S. foreign policy during the Vietnam War era. Modules are planned to complement course curricula and these modules match two of the most widely-studied topics in 20th-century history.\n\"UPA holds an incredible trove of primary source material,\" said Rod Gauvin, ProQuest Senior Vice President of Publishing. \"Through a meticulous digitization process, material that\u2019s absolutely central to how American history unfolded can now be shared, searched, and explored more fully than ever before.\"\nProQuest History Vault marks the first time primary source materials from University Publications of America (UPA) have been available in a digital format. Digitization allows not only remote access, but also enables single source access and simplified searching of this extraordinarily varied historical content. Original archival arrangement schemes are preserved, and metadata records and PDFs of the original documents are packaged together at the archival folder level, replicating the user experience of browsing through archival boxes to find research treasures. Records from federal agencies, letters, papers, photographs, scrapbooks, financial records, and diaries are among the unique resources. Further, ProQuest History Vault is being developed with controlled vocabulary indexing and full-text, faceted searching that enables researchers to drill to targeted results. Users can also opt to page through an entire collection to explore at a more relaxed pace. Major events in history are indexed and those records are accessible through a timeline of events to help put individual documents into historical context.\nThe first two modules of ProQuest History Vault cover the breadth of The Black Freedom Struggle in the 20th Century from the perspective of the men, women, and sometimes even children, who waged one of the most inspiring social movements in American history. Spanning from the founding of the National Association of Colored Women\u2019s Clubs at the close of the 19th century to the riots that followed the verdict in the Rodney King police brutality case in the last decade of the 20th century, the first Black Freedom Struggle module consists of 37 collections of records from federal government agencies. They include sources like the FBI Files on Martin Luther King and records from the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations that detail the interaction between civil rights leaders and organizations and the highest levels of the federal government. But perhaps more poignant, immediate and genuine struggle may be seen through the unique view into the day-to-day, such as the records of the Interstate Commerce Commission on discrimination in transportation, which captures the difficulties Black Americans faced when traveling. The second Black Freedom Struggle module is comprised of 36 collections of personal papers and organizational records, including those of Claude A. Barnett, the founder of the Associated Negro Press, and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.\nThe third module in ProQuest History Vault consists of collections on the Vietnam War and American Foreign Policy from 1960\u20131975. It covers U.S. involvement in the region from the early days of the Kennedy administration, through the escalation of the war during the Johnson administration, to the final resolution of the war at the Paris Peace Talks and the evacuation of U.S. troops in 1973. Documents in this module trace the actions and decisions at the highest levels in U.S. foreign policy, as well as events on the ground in Vietnam, from the perspective of State Department officials, Associated Press reporters, and members of the U.S. armed forces, including the Marines and the Military Assistance Command Vietnam. While documents pertaining to the Vietnam War are at the center of this module, the strong collections in this module highlight all of the most important foreign policy issues facing the nation between 1960 and 1975.\nProQuest History Vault will eventually house 23 million pages of digitized archival content that supports African American Studies, Women\u2019s Studies, American History, and Political Science, among other areas. Institutions can build their collections over time to provide an unparalleled research experience for their students and faculty who would otherwise be unable to access materials held at geographically-dispersed archives.\nFor more information, visit www.proquest.com.",

        "title": "The Anatomy of an SEO Hack \u2013 RankHammer | RankHammer",
        "raw_content": "The Anatomy of an SEO Hack\nPosted on January 22, 2013 in SEO\nIf you track some of the ultracompetitive search spaces, you might have noticed some unusual results over the last year. Perhaps you\u2019ve seen historical sites show up in financial spaces, or a beat box site show for car insurance. Often times we\u2019ll point to these errors as evidence that google has lost a step, or that our client\u2019s site should be there instead of that garbage. Both might be true, but there\u2019s a darker menace at play.\nRather than just throw up our hands, RankHammer decided to work with webmasters from coast to coast to try and figure out exactly what\u2019s going on. We\u2019ve seen a truly nasty ring of compromised wordpress and joomla sites interlinking in a way that is tricking Google in to ranking seeming unrelated sites for highly competitive terms. Given the illegal nature of this activity, one can only imagine how poorly customer information would be treated by the eventual \u201cbenefactor\u201d of the hack.\nSome people will note that hacking sites to embed links is nothing new. However, I\u2019ll argue that this level of sophistication is very new. Victim sites become both link spreader and value harvester in a way I haven\u2019t seen.\nWarning \u2013 Technical SEO lies ahead.\nHow the hack works\nThe hack works by examining incoming user agents, and varying content based upon the referrer. For example, a default user agent, coming from facebook would see \u201cnormal\u201d content. Some cases where content is changed are if the user agent is a search robot. In this case, a massive number of \u201cmoney\u201d terms are inserted as are links both internal and external. Every one of the external links I followed either went to a current or past victim site. In essence a link wheel is being created of massive proportion, but with some ironic trust passed in from the otherwise clean victims.\nThe hack is harvested when it sees a default user agent that has a target term coming from a search engine. It will then enter a series of redirects before landing on a lead generator page. Here is an example of the extent of the redirection. The sites in the middle are blacked out for one reason, I\u2019m not certain who is a victim, who is tracking and who is the culprit. I don\u2019t want to point fingers, I want to fix the problem.\nAs an aside for SEO geekery, the redirects are 302, not a 301 when it\u2019s in monetization mode. While it shouldn\u2019t matter since it\u2019s being shown only to \u201cnormal\u201d users and not search bots, I personally wonder if it\u2019s part of what makes this tricky for the engines to detect.\nIf you are actually logged into google, or searching from a secured location, your search term isn\u2019t passed. Again, the site will look normal.\nThere is not just one intermediary site involved. I\u2019ve seen sites registered from china to russia, private and public. I know there are alot of people that just want traffic and don\u2019t ask questions. It\u2019s quite possible that the final site in the chain has no idea where the traffic is sourced.\nFor one, I can say that I\u2019ve been offered SEO traffic on a PPC basis before. This might not be the only way to make that kind of offer to a client, but it\u2019s certainly one of them.\nAlmost all of the versions of the hack that I\u2019ve seen follow a similar form. Htaccess will have been compromised, and will need to be replaced. Before you do so, look around in the file. It will likely call a few unusual names and one seemingly innocuous one.\nThe unusual names take the form of things like 57113.php or .lib_o3vhce.php (hidden). However the one that needs to be treated with kid gloves is the one that seems the most innocent. images.php will have been inserted. This is actually the file that contains the problem, in the form of an encoded script. This script pulls across the payload of who to send where and how much junk to embed. If you clean everything else and leave that file, the infection will return.\nIt\u2019s also probable that the config or main index files will have been infected. Check and replace those as well looking for unusual files that are being called as well. One person reported finding a .backdoor.list file or something similar. At least their hackers were kind enough to leave a hint on how to clean.\nI wish I had an easy answer here, because I don\u2019t exactly know the path of infection, just the ways to clean it up. This particular hack seemed to affect only out of date installations of both content management systems. The first step is obviously keeping everything up to date. Beyond that I\u2019m not the expert here. I will refer to a few places I\u2019ve found useful tips:\nhttp://www.mattcutts.com/blog/three-tips-to-protect-your-wordpress-installation/\nhttp://bostinno.com/channels/9-essential-steps-for-keeping-your-wordpress-website-secure/\nAbove all, I\u2019d love to hear in the comments further ideas for prevention, more complete removal instructions, or other experiences with this type of hack.",

        "raw_content": "Is Open Banking the future?\nWe\u2019ve been reading quite a bit recently about developments in Open Banking, which seems to be rapidly growing in popularity. And following Barclays\u2019 recent move to allow its customers to manage their accounts across multiple banks within the one app, we think it\u2019s time to discuss what Open Banking is, and why accountants should keep abreast of it.\nIn short, Open Banking is a way to increase competition between banks, making it easier for customers to move from Bank A to Bank B or have multiple accounts at different banks. It also encourages greater information sharing between banks, to enable people to more effectively manage their money across different banks they may be customers of.\nIt is also paving the way for smaller banks and non-traditional or third-party financial service providers to fit into the banking mix more easily, given the ease of (secure) data sharing. The movement, therefore, is about \u2018opening up\u2019 \u2013 hence the name Open Banking \u2013 to give non-traditional banks a platform to step into and the ability for additional service providers to provide services at lower cost than banks, based on clients\u2019 existing bank account data.\nHow does Open Banking differ from traditional banking?\nThe main difference is the concept of data sharing, as it gives customers the option to be more flexible and shop around for different services from different providers, without having to feel locked into what their current bank can provide. In essence, it puts more power in the customers\u2019 hands to get what they want from a bank, rather than accepting whatever their bank might be offering.\nIt\u2019s likely that some banks will go fully mobile with apps and add-ons allowing people to manage all their banking from their mobile phone, while other banks (and indeed, customers) will feel more confident with branch options, with face to face meetings and relationship building.\nTraditional branch banking will likely continue to evolve, becoming more like Apple stores with a focus on tech and personal support. For those making big decisions, like mortgage arrangements, an element of face-to-face support will be essential for some, while others may wish to do it all online. Open Banking can and must mean banks will adapt to the needs of both groups.\nWhat does this mean for smaller banks?\nThe developments in Open Banking give possibilities for smaller banks to provide services that the high street banks may not be able to offer today, while giving easy access to the consumer. It also paves the way for Fintech start-ups to provide services like peer-to-peer payments or peer-to-peer lending, so there\u2019s more, from an ecosystem perspective.\nUltimately, the movement will open up a whole new swathe of possibilities for existing banks, and enable them to give their customers the ability to get involved and select their own services and benefits.\nThe challenges: data protection\nThe main question mark over Open Banking is one of data protection. As a customer, in order to get the most from it you must be prepared to grant third parties access to your bank details.\nConfidence and trust in banks is growing: people believe that their data is safe with their bank, and there are rarely any issues with data leakage within traditional banks. So then when it comes to third parties and other service providers, the question for consumers is: is the extra service worth risking your privacy for? There\u2019s a trade-off everyone has to make, though we imagine third parties will be falling over themselves to prove their security credentials to get a slice of the Open Banking pie.\nHow does Open Banking impact accountancy?\nThere is no complete, end-to-end, value chain process anymore. If we go into Open Banking, the banks\u2019 business model will change. Finance leaders will then have to ask: are they only doing Open Banking or are they also becoming a service provider or an information-selling provider?\nIf you\u2019re opening up with APIs to third parties, are you going to ask a fee for it? If so, will there be an additional income stream? Ultimately, there will be a lot of additional business opportunities, and getting to grips with what these opportunities might mean for your business could mean exciting things all round.

        "raw_content": "Why I Worry For My Home Country Of Brazil\nIs Brazil's Move To Impeach Its Woman President A Step Back To The Bad Old Days?\nPhoto: Courtesy of Nicole Huber.\nNicole Huber, with her daughter, in New York. After decades living in the U.S., she is moving back to Brazil.\nNicole Huber is a freelance television news producer. The views expressed here are her own.\nI grew up in Rio and was a teenager in the 1970s, when Brazil had military rule. My friends and I were predictably rebellious, as teens typically can be. But we were always afraid of the military police. Crime was not an easy word to define. Anything could be considered a crime \u2014 my mother was a journalist and worried about what she wrote. As a literary family, we worried about what we were seen reading. Lots of the music we loved was forbidden, and our favorite musicians were in exile. Anything outside of the mainstream was frowned upon.\nBut we had privilege, and all the military policemen (yes, only men) seemed to want the same thing: dinheiro. Stopped at a traffic blitz? Slip some cash under your driver\u2019s license and, magically, all problems were solved. Caught with a joint in your purse? Increase the amount of bills, but same procedure. We were stopped all the time simply because we were seen as potential cash cows. But we were also aware that we were fortunate, and that many others who were being stopped did not ever come home.\nI can't help but wonder: Am I returning to the land I left in 1981?\nThe PMs (policia militar, military police) rode around in cars we called the cambur\u00e3o. I am sure that everyone I know had witnessed people getting violently shoved into them at one time or another. It was such a common sight, and yet it was hard to know what crime, if any, these people had committed. Once taken into custody, how many would languish indefinitely in an overcrowded jail waiting for some sort of arraignment that might never happen? Many, including the now-suspended president, Dilma Rousseff, were beaten and tortured. Some did not survive.\nHuber in 1979, when Brazil was still under military rule. The smallest crimes could result in torture and beatings.\nIn those days, the president was voted for by electoral committee, and we all dreamed of a fantasy called democracy, where the people could select and vote for their leader. Then came the Diretas J\u00e1 movement. It was the first time in my life that I had seen my fellow Brazilians out on the streets, speaking their minds and fighting for the right to vote. There were daily demonstrations all over the country full of joy, music, and hope. The future was looking bright. The population had found its voice and was using it loud and clear.\nI left Brazil in 1981 for London. It was the most extraordinary culture shock. I could do anything! Except, I discovered, ride my bike against traffic, which I got fined for doing on the Battersea Bridge. But the cop was polite, respectful, and matter-of-fact. There was no long, meandering conversation. I had broken the law; I had to pay a fine. No bribe was expected or offered. It was over with just a \"Thank you, and please don't do it again.\"\nCrime was not an easy word to define. Anything could be considered a crime\u2026Lots of the music we loved was forbidden, and our favorite musicians were in exile.\nI have lived in the U.S. since 1989. I've raised two kids in New York and have watched my homeland evolve from afar. Over the years, \"Brazil is not a serious country,\" and \"Brazil is the country of the future \u2014 and always will be\" are just a few of the famous quotes I've often heard. But Brazil did become a democracy. The country did get serious, did see the future, and, ultimately, it did grow into a place I want to live in again. Brazil will always be Meu Brasil Brasileiro, still distinctly Brazilian with all the wonders and flaws that go along with that, but the country has come a long way.\nInjustice and poverty have been drastically reduced. There is opportunity for all. Labor laws are fairer. Children whose parents did not have a chance to finish middle school are now going to university. A growing middle class is building the economy. Corruption is still there, sure, but now anyone can speak up and fight it. Above all, there finally seemed to be a \"voice for the voiceless\" in power.\nNow cut to May 12, 2016. I'm packing up my apartment for a move back to Rio later his month when I hear the news that the Senate has voted to impeach the president. And I can't help but wonder: Am I returning to the land I left in 1981?\nBrazil President Rousseff Impeached What Will Happen\nwritten by Nicole Huber\nPhoto: Otto Inman.",

        "title": "60s telephone service",
        "raw_content": "60s telephone service\nIn the 1960s, a home telephone was still regarded as a luxury item. For many people, public telephone kiosks were their only experience of using a phone.\n'Are you on the 'phone?' meant do you have a private telephone? In 1951, 1.5 million households were on the phone. By 1966, this figure had risen to 4.2 million. However, by the end of the sixties more than half of households in the UK still did not have a telephone. By contrast, in 1961 75% of households had a television(1). More on television. In other countries things were different. In the USA, by 1966 eight out of every ten families had a telephone and in Sweden, nine out of every ten households.\nSo why did people not take to the telephone as readily as they did to the television? Cost was certainly a factor, but it was not the only one. In 1963, the Consumers' Association found that of families with an income of \u00a31800 per annum or more, only two in three had a phone.\nThe GPO and Hull City Council\nIf you wanted a telephone in the United Kingdom you would have had to rent one from the GPO (General Post Office), who had a monopoly of all telephone services - except in Hull. Hull City Council provided its own telephone service at a cheaper cost than that provided by the GPO.\nThe telephone service was improved at a considerable rate during the fifties and sixties. It could rightly claim to be part of Labour Prime Minister, Harold Wilson's 'White heat of technology' revolution. The first transatlantic cable was laid in 1956. It was opened for use at 6pm on 25 September of that year. However, this was not the first time subscribers (the GPO's word for customers until 1959) could dial the USA - they could have done so via radio link since 1927. In fact a GPO advertisement claimed in 1939 \"The world was at your finger tip by overseas telephone\" - no doubt you had to be quite rich to take advantage of it though!.\nFor ordinary customers, the most important development was Subscriber Trunk Dialling or (STD) introduced for the first time in 1958. A trunk call was a long distance call. In fact it was a call of a distance greater than 15 miles.\nBefore STD if you wanted to make a trunk call you had to dial the operator and ask her to make the call. You would be charged a fixed rate in units of three minutes - in 1966 the cost was 1s to 4s depending on the distance - quite expensive as a pint of beer cost around 2s then ( more on old money). With STD the customer made the call him/herself. He/she was then charged for the actual amount of time spent. Most calls worked out cheaper with STD. The trouble with STD though, was that it did not cover the whole country. In 1966 two thirds of the country could dial on STD, but, of course, it was a two-way thing and some areas could not be dialled directly even though STD may have been installed in the caller's district.\nThe other major change came in the sixties - the end of lettered telephone exchanges. All Figure Numbers (AFN) were introduced in the major cities in 1966. Previously, telephone calls were a combination of letters and numbers. Telephones in the sixties had lettered as well as numbered dials. The lettered dial was made famous by Alfred Hitchcock's film 'Dial M for Murder'.\nHow to use a lettered dial\nWhere to live by telephone exchange!\nThe magazine 'Queen' told us in 1965, in a list of what was \"with-it\" and what was \"without-it\", that amongst other things, the place to have lunch was the private dining room of Rothchild's; Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were to be preferred to David Frost; Donavan and Sandy Shaw were in and Cliff Richard was out; and a Mini-Moke was better than an Aston Martin DB5 (I'd have the Aston anytime - but they didn't like James Bond!). The list also told us that BELgravia, WEStern, FLAxman and LORds were the top London exchanges and that PRImose, FRObisher, MAYfair and GULliver were not.\nSo what was it like to use the telephone services in the 1960s?\nThe Consumers' Association conducted a survey into the telephone service in the UK in 1965. The results were published in the July 1966 issue of 'Which?'. They found that around one in ten calls actually went wrong, that was failed to connect, or did connect, but that the line was so poor as to need re-dialling. It took around 40 seconds for an average STD call to connect. That is an age by today's standards, but at the time it was considered good. Another problem that the report highlighted was engaged tones on a free lines. Quite often you would dial a number and get the engaged tone - although the person whom you were calling was not using the telephone. This happened because of general congestion on the line. Advice was given on how to tell whether the phone you were calling was actually engaged or not - as each digit was dialled, listen for the engaged tone. If you heard it before you had finished dialling, the phone itself was not engaged. 'Wrong numbers' were also possible. That is you dialled the correct number and got the wrong number. The 'Which' report said that these were rare and that customers may have mis-dialled. So \"sorry wrong number\" did not necessarily mean that it was your fault.\nAnother relic of the past was the party line. This was not a special service, but a telephone line essentially shared between two subscribers. If the other 'party' was using the phone you could not. You could also listen in on the other 'party's' calls. Subscribers, not surprisingly, got a reduction if they were connected on a party line.\nThe GPO provided a number of special services to customers in the sixties. These included sending telegrams by telephone and a 'dish of the day' recipe service, which was updated daily!\nIn 1967 the GPO published for the first time, a volume called \"Telephone Companion\". This was issued to new customers and was designed to help them get the most out of their phone. Suggestions on what to use the phone for included: 'Give her a ring', 'Exchange views on sport' and 'Arranging a bridge evening'. The booklet gave advice on how to speak on the telephone. You were advised to keep the earpiece close to the ear and speak directly into the mouth piece and to pronounce consonants clearly.\nActually quite a lot. To have a telephone installed cost \u00a310 in 1966. This was increased to a whopping \u00a320 in 1968. In 1966 there was a line rental of \u00a314 per year. Call charges then depended on when and how far you were dialling. Local calls cost 2d for 6 minutes in peak times and 2d for 12 minutes at evenings and weekends. Trunk calls on STD were charged at 1s for 3 minutes up to 35 miles and varied up to 4s for 3 minutes for the longest distances.\n(1)Figures taken from 'British Society since 1945' by Arthur Marwick, first published by Penguin 1982\n\"A tremendously interesting article that's going in my bookmarks. Thanks for posting.\" reis 11/07/2015\n\"A point to note is that party lines were not optional. As part of the terms and conditions of service your line could be made into a party line if there were no cable pairs free to the exchange and someone wanted a phone installed. This could cause major disputes between neighbours. This of course did not pertain if you had enough influence.\" Peter Woff 03/04/2016\n\"What a delightful article!

Security Council, Turkey said it had shot down the jet while in Turkish air space. Along with a second plane, the aircraft had flown more than a mile into Turkey for 17 seconds, despite being warned 10 times in five minutes while approaching to change direction, the letter said.\n\u201cNobody should doubt that we made our best efforts to avoid this latest incident. But everyone should respect the right of Turkey to defend its borders,\u201d Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said in a speech in Ankara.\nIn condemnation of Russian air strikes in Syria, during which Turkish air space has been violated several times in recent weeks, Erdogan said that only Turkey\u2019s \u201ccool-headedness\u201d had prevented worse incidents in the past.\nEach country summoned a diplomatic representative of the other. Russia\u2019s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov canceled a visit to Turkey due on Wednesday and the defense ministry said it was preparing measures to respond to such incidents.\nU.S. President Barack Obama and French President Francois Hollande, meeting in Washington, urged against an escalation, while NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the military alliance stood in solidarity with Turkey.\nFootage from private Turkish broadcaster Haberturk TV showed the warplane going down in flames, a long plume of smoke trailing behind it as it crashed in a wooded part of an area the TV said was known by Turks as \u201cTurkmen Mountain\u201d.\nSeparate footage from Turkey\u2019s Anadolu Agency showed two pilots parachuting out of the jet before it crashed.\nA deputy commander of rebel Turkmen forces in Syria said his men shot both pilots dead as they came down. The Russian military confirmed one pilot had been shot dead from the ground and another soldier died during a rescue operation.\nA senior Turkish official said at least one of the pilots could still be alive. \u201cIt\u2019s not a fact but a possibility. We\u2019re trying to verify the information and taking all necessary steps to facilitate their return,\u201d the official said.\nA video sent to Reuters earlier appeared to show one of the pilots immobile and badly wounded on the ground.\nRussia\u2019s defense ministry said one of its Su-24 fighter jets had been downed in Syria and that \u201cfor the entire duration of the flight, the aircraft was exclusively over Syrian territory\u201d, a suggestion Turkey denied.\nA combination picture taken from video shows a war plane crashing in flames in a mountainous area in northern Syria after it was shot down by Turkish fighter jets near the Turkish-Syrian border November 24, 2015. REUTERS/Reuters TV/Haberturk\n\u201cThe data we have is very clear. There were two planes approaching our border, we warned them as they were getting too close,\u201d another senior Turkish official told Reuters. \u201cOur findings show clearly that Turkish air space was violated multiple times. And they violated it knowingly.\u201d\nA U.S. military spokesman said it was an issue between the Turkish and Russian governments and that U.S.-led coalition operations in Syria and Iraq were continuing \u201cas planned\u201d.\nMoscow\u2019s decision to launch separate air strikes in Syria means Russian and NATO planes have been flying combat missions in the same air space for the first time since World War Two, targeting various insurgent groups close to Turkish borders.\nRussia\u2019s military involvement in Syria has brought losses, including the bombing by militants of a Russian passenger jet over Egypt. But there is no sign yet that public opinion is turning against the operation in Syria and the Kremlin said it would continue.\nInstead Moscow, helped by state-controlled television, has used these reverses to rally public opinion, portraying the campaign as a moral crusade that Russia must complete, despite indifference or obstruction from elsewhere.\nA U.S. official said U.S. forces were not involved in the downing of the Russian jet, which was the first time a Russian or Soviet military aircraft has been publicly acknowledged to have been shot down by a NATO member since the 1950s.\nThe incident appeared to scupper hopes of a rapprochement between Russia and the West in the wake of the Islamic State attacks in Paris, which had led to calls for a united front against the jihadist group in Syria.\nRussia\u2019s main stock index fell more than two percent, while Turkish stocks fell more than four percent. Both the rouble and lira currencies were weaker.\nLavrov advised Russians not to visit Turkey and one of Russia\u2019s largest tour operators to the country said it would temporarily suspend sales of trips.\nSHOT AS THEY FELL\nThe Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said the warplane crashed in a mountainous area in the northern countryside of Latakia province, where there had been aerial bombardment earlier and where pro-government forces have been battling insurgents on the ground.\n\u201cA Russian pilot,\u201d a voice is heard saying in the video sent to Reuters as men gather around the man on the ground. \u201cGod is great,\u201d is also heard.\nThe rebel group that sent the video operates in the northwestern area of Syria, where groups including the Free Syrian Army are active but Islamic State, which has beheaded captives in the past, has no known presence.\nA deputy commander of a Turkmen brigade told reporters on a trip organized by Turkish authorities that his forces had shot both pilots dead as they descended.\n\u201cOur comrades opened fire into the air and they died in the air,\u201d Alpaslan Celik said near the Syrian village of Yamadi, holding what he said was a piece of a pilot\u2019s parachute.\nIn a further sign of a growing fallout over Syria, Syrian rebel fighters who have received U.S. arms said they fired at a Russian helicopter, forcing it to land in territory held by Moscow\u2019s Syrian government allies.\nTurkey called this week for a U.N. Security Council meeting to discuss attacks on Turkmens, who are Syrians of Turkish descent, and last week Ankara summoned the Russian ambassador to protest against the bombing of their villages.\nAbout 1,700 people have fled the mountainous area due to fighting in the last three days, a Turkish official said on Monday. Russian jets have bombed the area in support of ground operations by Syrian government forces.\nAdditional reporting by Mehmet Emin Caliskan in Yamadi, Syria; Humeyra Pamuk, Daren Butler, Melih Aslan and Asli Kandemir in Istanbul, Orhan Coskun in Ankara; Maria Kiselyova and Vladimir Soldatkin in Moscow; Tom Perry and Sylvia Westall in Beirut; Guy Faulconbridge in London; Michelle Nichols in New York, Robin Emmott in Brussels, Roberta Rampton in Washington; Writing by Nick Tattersall and David Dolan; Editing by Andrew Heavens, Philippa Fletcher and David Stamp",

        "raw_content": "The A to Z of starting your own early childhood development centre in SA\nThere is a tremendous demand for quality Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres in South Africa, but because of a lack of supply, thousands of young children still miss out on a solid foundation during the most important stage of their development.\nThis provides a great opportunity for entrepreneurial-minded people to establish ECD centres in their communities, but anyone interested in doing so should ensure that they not only get the right training and qualifications, but also that they are compliant with the rules and regulations governing ECD centres, an education expert says.\n\u201cStarting an ECD centre \u2013 whether it be a cr\u00e8che, daycare centre, preschool, or aftercare facility - is a great way to own your own business, while contributing to your community in an exceptionally meaningful way,\u201d says Nomawabo May, Team Leader: Student Advisor Department at Oxbridge Academy.\n\u201cBut you have to go about it the right way, as not doing so can have severe consequences not only for yourself, but also for the young children in your care,\u201d she says.\nAccording to Stats SA, 46.9% of young children are not attending an educational institution, despite the fact that the first 1000 days of a child\u2019s life are the most important to unlocking their life-long potential.\nMay says starting one\u2019s own ECD centre isn\u2019t as easy as opening your doors to a group of children and trying to keep them busy during the day, and there are a few steps one should go through before making the decision to do so.\n\u201cYou have to ensure that you have a proper business plan in place, along with the financing to get started. It is worth keeping in mind that if you can show you are in line with regulations, have proper training, and are qualified to provide a supportive and enabling environment for the children under your care, you may be able to access government or private sector funding.\u201d\nMay says that to register an ECD centre, you would need to be able to show at least the following:\nA weekly food menu for your centre\nA daily programme for your centre\nA building plan of the location (if appropriate)\nA copy of the constitution of your business\nA business plan for funding purposes\nOther documents that may be required for your specific situation\n\u201cAfter granting conditional or provisional registration, the relevant government departments will do assessments to ensure your centre complies with all standards and regulations in terms of infrastructure, health and safety, education curriculum, and HR management,\u201d says May.\nIt is important to ensure you have what it takes to make a success of your business. You can do this by obtaining a good academic foundation in the field and making sure you understand its demands.\n\u201cThere are many courses and qualifications relating to early childhood development, but it is important to choose one that will cover all the bases, including educational psychology, daycare management, child health, business management, and so forth,\u201d says May.\n\u201cThe need for good ECD centres is on the rise because of the rapid rise of dual-income households, where both parents work full-time, and the high rate of single-parent households. While there are almost 20 000 ECD centres nationwide, many of them are unregistered and do not meet the standards set out by the government.\n\u201cThis means that there is great need for affordable, quality childcare services that tick all the boxes and can ensure that the next generation gets the best start in life possible.\u201d\n* For a free e-book on the A to Z of establishing your own ECD centre, visit:\nhttps://www.oxbridgeacademy.edu.za/Documents/How-To-Start-a-ECD-Centre-Ebook.pdf",

Season Ticket Deadline Day Is Today (Wednesday 21st June)\nSupporters are reminded that Season Ticket Deadline Day is today (Wednesday 21st June).\nFans must pay their \u00a350 deposit before 8pm tonight to secure their season ticket at the lowest possible price.\nThe maximum price an adult fan will pay for his/ her season ticket is \u00a3200. That\u2019s just \u00a38.65 per game for League One football!\nThose who fail to pay a \u00a350 deposit before 8pm tonight will pay \u00a3250 for their season ticket, regardless of the final sales outcome. We therefore urge supporters who have yet to renew or purchase, to buy before then to get the cheapest price.\nSeason tickets for fans aged 16 and under are \u00a350 (\u00a32.17 per game), while supporters aged 11 and under pay just \u00a310 \u2013 that\u2019s 43p per game.\nWith a whole host of tasty fixtures against Northern based teams to look forward to during the 2017-18 campaign, including Bury, Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool, Bradford City, Oldham Athletic and Wigan Athletic, the question is \u2013 what are you waiting for?!\nManager Keith Hill committed his future to the club this summer by signing a five-year-deal and has moved quickly to secure the services of Reece Brown, Brendan Moore, Joe Rafferty and Jordan Williams since the season ended, beating off competition from other clubs in order to do so. With these exciting signings already in the bag and more to follow, there promises to be some great times ahead at the Crown Oil Arena, so there really has never been a better time to back your team and get behind the Dale!\nSo to recap, \u00a3200 is the guaranteed maximum price an adult will pay for his/ her season ticket, but it could still reduce further if we can reach our 3000 or even 4000 targets. Fans are reminded that the price will drop to \u00a3150 when 3000 is reached and to \u00a3110 when 4000 is reached.\nSupporters can purchase their season ticket deposits online at www.rafctickets.co.uk, by telephone 0844 826 1907 (option 8) or by calling into the Ticket Office at the Crown Oil Arena.\nThe Ticket Office is open from 9am until 8pm today.",

        "raw_content": "Brazen Deceit: Obama, BP Lied About \u201cTop Kill\u201d Timing, Success\nRUSH: The New York Times was able to ferret out a bit of deception. The story of the day is in the New York Times, a brazen bit of deceit. Obama goes to his press conference yesterday while everybody thinks that the top kill method is not only in progress at that moment but that we are having some success. However, the Times inadvertently publishes \u2014 I can\u2019t believe they did this on purpose. Well, let me just read what they say here. This is exactly from the Times story: \u2018The top kill effort has proceeded in fits and starts. BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early Thursday that the strategy was working, disclosed later that they had stopped pumping on Wednesday night [the night before] when engineers saw that too much of the drilling fluid was escaping along with the oil.\u2019 So when Obama did the press conference, \u2018Plug the hole! Just plug the hole up!\u2019\nBy the way, Sestak is the hole they really want to plug out there, folks. That\u2019s the hole Obama really wants to plug. This Sestak report, that\u2019s their top kill. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve gotta try to sweep away. But this story in the New York Times, they bury the lede and they don\u2019t get the headline right, but this is amazing. This is a brazen bit of deceit. Obama needed some action going on. He needed some semblance of success so he could go out there and claim credit for this. (doing impression) \u2018I\u2019m in charge. Nothing is going on out there \u2019til they\u2019ve been approved up by me. Uhhhh, they\u2019re my Minerals Management Service people and Coast Guard. No, I\u2019m in charge from day one. Laser-like focus!\u2019 It turns out that the top kill procedure was not even going on yesterday. It had stopped the night before.\nSo we\u2019re left here to wonder just what is real and what isn\u2019t real with this administration \u2014 and here we get \u2018The top kill effort has proceeded in fits and starts. BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early Thursday that the strategy was working\u2026\u2019 Exactly WHO \u2018created the impression\u2026the strategy was working\u2019? The Los Angeles Times\u2026 I think you\u2019ll find, folks, the Los Angeles Times is the favored repository for so-called exclusive stories from the Obama White House, because obviously by geographical measures, they\u2019re not in Washington. I mean they have a bureau there, but the LA Times is a whole coast away. They\u2019re not inside the Beltway. They\u2019re outsiders. And it was the LA Times who first yesterday broke the story that the top kill was working. If you reread their article: \u2018Top Kill Plugs Gulf Oil Leak Official Says.\u2019 I remember Drudge had a headline yesterday at MSNBC: \u2018Plug May Be Happening!\u2019 in the middle of the press conference. They weren\u2019t even plugging it! The top kill had been suspended the night before, and there are stories in the LA Times: \u2018Top Kill Plugs Gulf Oil Leak Official Says.\u2019 It wasn\u2019t true. None of it was true, and now we\u2019re told we won\u2019t know until Sunday whether or not this method is working. We all hope it does. This press conference yesterday, all kinds of people are now weighing in. It was a disaster.\nRUSH: Now, here\u2019s the LA Times story on the oil leak. This is where Obama goes. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find that the LA Times is used by the administration to drop exclusive news items. The LA Times seems to have been the one that broke the story yesterday that the top kill method was working. They only cited Admiral Allen of the Coast Guard. In fact they go on to say: \u2018As of early Thursday morning, neither government nor BP officials had declared the effort a success yet, pending the completion of the cementing and sealing of the well.\u2019 But today\u2019s New York Times says, \u2018BP officials, who along with government officials created the impression early in the day that the \u2018top kill\u2019 strategy was working, disclosed later that they had stopped pumping the night before when engineers saw that too much of the drilling fluid was escaping along with the oil.\u2019\nSo the Sestak thing is what they\u2019re really worried about but they\u2019re using it to cloud this. I mean, there is raging incompetence here over the oil spill.",

        "raw_content": "The report by UNAIDS, the agency that monitors HIV and AIDS throughout the world, said the United States accounted last year for 54 percent of the estimated 88,000 new HIV infections in Western and Central Europe and North America, and 69 percent of the 27,000 AIDS-related deaths in those areas.\nThe five largest European countries _ France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Spain, with a total population roughly similar to the United States _ together accounted for 28 percent of the new HIV infections, according to the report.\nThe report blames the high death rate in the United States on \u201clate diagnosis of HIV, poor treatment adherence and high levels of early treatment discontinuation.\u201d For comparison, Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany each accounted for 2 percent of the 27,000 deaths.\nThe report includes the U.S. among the 15 countries worldwide that account for more than 75 percent of the 2.1 million new HIV infections that occurred last year. Others include Nigeria, South Africa, China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mozambique, Uganda and Tanzania.\nLuiz Loures, UNAIDS\u2019s deputy executive director, told McClatchy he\u2019s concerned that in the U.S. and in rich Western European countries, \u201cprimarily young gay men (and men who have sex with men) are more complacent about the AIDS epidemic. They have a false impression that AIDS is over.\u201d\nHe said the gay community was the first to mobilize the world against AIDS., but added, \u201cI think the gay community today is more concerned about gay marriage than prevention of AIDS. They need a wake-up call.\u201d\nIn the U.S, and in Western Europe, he said, \u201cwe see a tendency of increasing infections among gay men.\u201d\nUNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibe said that while tremendous progress had been made in the global fight against AIDS, \u201c19 million of the 35 million people living with HIV globally don\u2019t even know they have the virus.\u201d\n\u201cWhether you live or die should not depend on access to an HIV test,\u201d he said.",

        "raw_content": "The jury was unable to reach a verdict, and when prosecutors attempted to retry the case the mother \u2013 at the urging of her daughter \u2013 declined to testify a second time. She later said that the decision was partly due to the fear that her immigration status had been raised in a public courtroom.\nAs an undocumented immigrant, her fear was founded in fact.\nThe Immigrant Defense Project reported that in 2017, the number of arrests or attempted arrests by ICE agents at all courthouses in New York increased by 900 percent. In California, the state\u2019s top judge criticized federal immigration agents for using courthouses as \u201cbait,\u201d and for \u201cstalking\u201d immigrants who \u201cpose no risk to public safety.\u201d\nThis heightening of enforcement priorities presents a clear threat to any undocumented immigrant who steps into a courthouse to hold a dangerous individual accountable.\nExploiting immigration status in an era in which ICE agents are in our courthouses boils down to an intimidation tactic. And in the above-described domestic violence case, like many others, the tactic works. Without a witness willing to testify, prosecutors were forced to dismiss the case, and a domestic abuser avoided consequences and returned to the community.\nA 2017 report by the Pew Research Center found that 67 percent of Hispanic immigrants worry about deportation. If an undocumented immigrant believes that appearing in court may result in their immigration status becoming part of the public record, or that an ICE agent may be sitting in the courtroom and might arrest them before they even step out onto the street, they won\u2019t show up.\nBefore the 2016 election, a study found that 70 percent of undocumented immigrants and 44 percent of all Latinos were less likely to contact law enforcement authorities if they were a victim of a crime for fear that police would ask them or people they know about their immigration status. After the election, it got even worse: During the first six months of Donald Trump\u2019s tenure as president, as he filled the airwaves with anti-immigrant rhetoric, reporting of domestic violence among San Francisco\u2019s Latino population dropped 18 percent compared to the same time period in 2016.\nThese stories, these statistics, and the era of immigration agents stalking undocumented immigrants in our courthouses are terrifying and make our communities less safe. That is why we partnered to propose Senate Bill 785, which prevents the disclosure of people\u2019s immigration status in court when that status is irrelevant to the case.\nSomeone\u2019s status should not be exploited at the expense of public safety, and we do not want witnesses and victims to be fearful that coming forward to report crimes or to testify in court will result in the reckless exposure of their immigration status.\nUnder SB 785, attorneys are prohibited from asking a witness about his or her immigration status unless the attorney first seeks a ruling from the judges (outside of a public courtroom) that the witness\u2019s immigration status is relevant to the case. If the judge rules that immigration status is relevant and admissible, it can then be raised in open court.\nBut if a judge determines that immigration status has no bearing on the case \u2013 which is frequently the case \u2013 then it cannot be raised in open court, and it cannot be used to intimidate someone from coming forward and participating in our system of justice.\nSB 785 does not dictate whether or not immigration status is admissible. Rather, it ensures that immigration status will be raised in open court only if a judge first decides that it is admissible.\nSB 785 has already passed the California State Senate with bipartisan support. It is currently moving through the State Assembly. To protect public safety and the fair administration of justice, the Legislature needs to pass this important bill. Our courthouses should be places where we deliver justice to the people, not deliver people to federal immigration authorities.\nCalifornia Sen.

        "raw_content": "Methods of Proving Fault in a Car Accident Injury Claim\nIf you are seeking to file a personal injury claim after you are injured in a car accident, one of the key aspects of your case will be your ability to prove that the other driver was at fault in the accident. While there are steps you can take at the scene of the crime to gather your own evidence, including taking pictures of both cars and the surrounding area and gathering witness information, there are also methods you can follow after the accident to arm yourself with information.\nFor one, you will almost certainly want to get a copy of the police report of the accident. If the police came to your accident scene (which they should \u2014 you should always call law enforcement after getting into an accident), they will have most likely filed an official accident report. You can speak to someone from the traffic division of your local law enforcement department for more information about getting a copy of that report. This report could contain an officer\u2019s opinion about who was at fault, or specific information about citations or negligent behavior.\nYou should also familiarize yourself with the various traffic laws in your municipality. Your local DMV should have guides to all of Florida\u2019s traffic laws, and you should also be able to find them online. If you believe that the other driver in your accident violated a specific law, you can double check within this guide to get evidence of this.\nFinally, there are certain situations in which it is almost always presumed that one driver is at fault. Rear-end collisions and left-turn accidents, for example, are 99 percent of the time caused by one driver\u2019s negligence, meaning there is little doubt that you were the victim in the crash. Be sure to emphasize this point in your case if you were the victim of one of these types of \u201cno doubt\u201d accidents.\nThe experienced Orlando car accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Salazar & Kelly will work with you to gather evidence for your injury claim.\nBy Salazar & Kelly | Posted on January 27, 2015 Tags: personal injury",

        "raw_content": "Release Uyghur Professor Ilham Tohti, Arrested Five Years Ago\nScholars at Risk joins 16 organizations and 125 scholars to demand the immediate release of Professor Ilham Tohti, who was arrested five years ago today for promoting dialogue and reconciliation between Uyghurs and Han Chinese.\nProfessor Tohti is a scholar of economics at the Central Minzu University in Beijing and an advocate for the rights of Uyghurs. On January 15, 2014, police raided Professor Tohti\u2019s home, where they seized computers, cell phones, passports, and student essays, and arrested him. After being held incommunicado in detention for months, on July 30, 2014, Professor Tohti was formally charged with separatism, on the basis of his teachings at the university and his published writings on his site, Uighur Online, which served as a platform to engage Uyghurs and Han Chinese in dialogue. On September 23, 2014, after a closed two-day trial, the Urumqi Intermediate People\u2019s Court found Professor Tohti guilty of separatism and sentenced him to life in prison.\nSAR urges Chinese authorities to release Professor Tohti; to ensure that the circumstances of Professor Tohti\u2019s arrest, detention, and conviction are examined; to ensure that any charges or convictions related to his peaceful academic activities are reversed; and that, in the interim, his access to family is ensured and his case is addressed in a manner consistent with internationally recognized standards of due process, fair trial, and detention, in accordance with China\u2019s obligations under international law.\nCivil Society Calls on China to Immediately Release Uyghur Professor\nIlham Tohti Five Years After His Arrest\nOn the five year anniversary of the arrest of Uyghur professor Ilham Tohti, civil society is calling for China to grant his immediate release and to heed calls for the release of an untold number of Uyghur scholars currently detained.\nIlham Tohti, a Uyghur economist, writer and professor, founded the website \u201cUighurbiz.net\u201d in 2006 to promote conciliation between Uyghurs and Han Chinese, but was arrested on January 15, 2014. Despite the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention finding his detention to be arbitrary in March 2014, Tohti was sentenced to life in prison in September of that year on charges of \u201cseparatism\u201d after just a two-day trial.\nThe legal process involving Tohti was met with significant issues throughout. His lawyers were unable to meet him for six months following the initial arrest, his defense team was not provided with complete evidence by the prosecutor, nor were their requested witnesses allowed to testify during the trial.\nProfessor Ilham Tohti, for a number of years, criticised oppressive policies against Uyghurs and wrote extensively on constructive approaches to overcome unequal treatment between ethnic groups. Notably, he called for dialogue and reconciliation, using his web platform as the primary vehicle.\nIlham has been serving his life sentence since December 2014 at Urumqi\u2019s No. 1 Prison. Since then, he has been allowed visits by close family every three months and limited to one hour. Complicating this has been his continued detention in Urumqi, despite his family living in Beijing \u2013 a likely punitive move from Beijing. ChinaChange has noted that Tohti has been held in solitary confinement until at least early 2016 and has been denied the right to communicate with family and friends aside from minimal visits.\nChinaChange also reported that Tohti\u2019s 25-year old niece from Atush was sentenced in early 2016 to ten years in prison for possessing photos of him and two articles about him by Radio Free Asia on her cell phone.\nSeven of his students (Perhat Halmurat, Shohret Nijat, Luo Yuwei, Mutellip Imin, Abduqeyum Ablimit, Atikem Rozi and Akbar Imin) all remain imprisoned on separatism charges, but their whereabouts and conditions remain unknown.\nAt the time, Ilham\u2019s case stood as a warning shot directed at Uyghur intellectuals and activists in China more broadly. The Chinese government has evidently failed to yield to his advice and now operates one of the most obtrusive surveillance states in the world while arbitrarily locking up Uyghurs, Kazakhs and Kyrgyz in political indoctrination facilities. Estimates of the number detained range from several hundred thousand to well over a million.\nCoinciding with the construction of the camps has been the detention of hundreds more Uyghur scholars and writers in the region. Notable scholars detained include professor Rahile Dawut, a respected specialist on Uyghur culture; professor Halmurat Ghophur, a prominent medical scientist; Gheyret Abdurahman, the deputy head of the Linguistics Department at the Academy of Social Sciences of Xinjiang; Qurban Mamut, a writer and magazine editor; Abdulqadir Jalaleddin, a literature professor at Xinjiang Pedagogical University; and Askar Yunus, a prominent historian of the Kyrgyz ethnic community, among many others.\nWe, the undersigned are therefore calling for the release of Ilham Tohti as well as all those scholars arbitrarily detained in political indoctrination facilities.\nA PDF version of the statement can be found here.\nIlham Tohti Initiative\nInternational Tibet Network Secretariat\nUyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP)\nWorld Uyghur Congress (WUC)\nNoam Chomsky, Institute Professor (Emeritus), MIT, Cambridge MA\nLaureate Professor, University of Arizona, Tucson AZ\nRachel Harris, Reader in the Music of Central Asia and China, SOAS, University of London (UK)\nNathan Light, Department of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology, Uppsala University (Sweden)\nKevin Carrico, Senior Lecturer, Macquarie University (Australia)\nDavid Brophy, Senior Lecturer, University of Sydney (Australia)\nJames Leibold, Associate Professor, La Trobe University (Australia)\nGardner Bovingdon, Associate Professor, Indiana University (US)\nMichael Clarke, Associate Professor, National Security College, Australian National University (Australia)\nVanessa Frangville, Senior Lecturer, Universit\u00e9 libre de Bruxelles (Belgium)\nRebecca Karl, Professor of History, New York University (US)\nTeng Biao, Visiting scholar, U.S.-Asia Law Institute, New York University (US)\nMarianne Kamp, Associate Professor, Central Eurasian Studies, Indiana University (US)\nVictor H.

        "raw_content": "Flashback: Disney\u2019s 1964 live-action Mary Poppins adaptation one of the all-time greats\nMovie that propelled Julie Andrews to stardom was a critical hit as well as a box-office success, despite Dick Van Dyke\u2019s dreadful attempt at a Cockney accent \u2013 which he blamed on an Irish voice coach\nJulie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Photo: AP\nOne of the greatest children\u2019s films of all time, Disney\u2019s 1964 adaptation of P. L. Travers\u2019 book Mary Poppins is magical, strange and thoroughly surreal. Children step into living paintings, nannies fly around on umbrellas and tea parties are held on the ceiling.\nThe movie made Disney a pot of money and propelled Julie Andrews to stardom in her first film role. If you\u2019re into Broadway-style music, the Sherman brothers\u2019 songs are fantastic, too, and numbers such as A Spoonful of Sugar and the inexplicable Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious have embedded themselves in the landscape of popular culture.\nThe film, which is set in Edwardian London, is based on the first of Travers\u2019 eight Poppins books. The titular Poppins (Andrews) is a stern but kind nanny who is brought into the middle-class home of the authoritarian Mr Banks (David Tomlinson) to look after his vaguely naughty children. Poppins, aided by cheery Cockney chimney sweep Bert (Dick Van Dyke), teaches Banks the value of spending time with his children \u2013 but not before the kids have experienced some magical adventures.\nThe making of Mary Poppins has passed into Hollywood lore, and the early days of the production were recently filmed as Saving Mr Banks . Walt Disney promised his children that he\u2019d make a film of the book but Travers, an Australian living in Britain, hated the idea of Americans meddling with her creation. When Disney finally did get the rights, the contract stipulated that Travers herself would be on set in Hollywood to oversee how her characters were portrayed.\nThe relationship between Travers and Disney was not smooth: she hated the idea of mixing animation with live-action scenes, hated the idea of it being a musical and felt that Disney was dumbing down her work. Travers wasn\u2019t even invited to the premiere \u2013 she had to blag a ticket from a Disney executive \u2013 and she complained about the film to Walt Disney afterwards.\nStill, Disney knew how to make movies, and Mary Poppins became a critical hit as well as a box-office success. The first live-action children\u2019s film to experiment with surrealism, it won five Oscars in 1965, including one for Andrews. A sequel is planned for 2018.\nThe film\u2019s only misstep was to have American Van Dyke talk in a Cockney accent. This is generally regarded as the worst such accent ever committed to film. Van Dyke claims this is because his voice coach was actually an Irishman who couldn\u2019t speak Cockney.\nMary Poppins will be screened on July 23 at the Hong Kong Film Archive in Sai Wan Ho as part of the International Children\u2019s Film Carnival. Tickets, through Urbtix, are HK$30/HK$60",

Pic: Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images\nIf this time next week, Jamie Murray is crowned as the doubles champion of the Nitto ATP World Tour Finals, he could be taking home \u00a3200,000 \u2013 and then maybe he will be able to afford a painter and decorator.\nAs a team, Murray and Bruno Soares, pictured inset, are ranked No.4 in the world but standing between them and the trophy are the other seven best doubles teams in the world. Over the coming eight days, they must find a way through the round-robin stage of the competition and then hope that they can reach their first final at London\u2019s O2 Arena. Should they lift the trophy as the unbeaten champions (so no mishaps in the round-robin stage), they will share $517,000. And Murray is more than confident that that is a possibility.\n\u201cThe doubles game is so open,\u201d he said. \u201cThe first half of this year, we didn\u2019t really have that much success, lost a lot of close matches, tiebreaks. But I don\u2019t think we ever lost our faith in the team or anything like that because we still feel like when we\u2019re there competing well together, we\u2019re a great team.\n\u201cI think probably we\u2019ve beaten every team here and lost to every team, so we know that all the guys are difficult on their day. There are no easy teams. That\u2019s just not the way it works \u2013 that\u2019s why it\u2019s the best eight teams: there\u2019s no bluffers.\u201d\nToday they will open the tournament, taking on Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus, the pair who beat them in the Wimbledon quarter-finals. That marathon five-setter was a tough loss to take, but from there, Murray and Soares started to gather momentum, winning in Washington and collecting their first Masters 1,000 title in Cincinnati. Now, back in London for the fourth time, Murray wants more silverware.\n\u201cFor us it would be awesome to win,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve played a lot of good tennis the second half of this year, won a lot of matches. We trained well the last few days, we\u2019re feeling good. It\u2019s the biggest event on the ATP Tour. When people say \u2018so-and-so has won the Tour Finals\u2019, it registers with me so it does mean a lot for the doubles guys.\u201d\nIt would mean a lot to Mrs Murray, too. She \u2013 Alejandra \u2013 has little interest in tennis which is just the way Murray likes it. In a long year of travel, match play, practice, more travel, jetlag, more practice \u2013 it can seem like groundhog day at times \u2013 the chance to be at home and just be a normal husband is sheer bliss. And it is the best way to recharge his batteries. Or it is until something needs doing around the house. There is no chance of Murray papering the front room any time soon.\n\u201cShe would like me to do that,\u201d Murray said sheepishly, \u201cbut to be honest that wouldn\u2019t work out well for her because I would ruin everything. She had a degree in industrial design, so she is used to making stuff. Me? I couldn\u2019t do anything. I could tell you maybe what an allen key was.\u201d\nTo win next Sunday would make Murray the first Briton to win the World Tour Finals doubles. And it would get him out of DIY duties for the foreseeable future. It is no wonder Murray says the event is the most important on the ATP calendar.",

        "raw_content": "Selectmen approve study to review retaining or removing KLPD dams\nKENNEBUNK \u2014 The Board of Selectmen decided last week that it will not file a notice of intent with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to assume the licenses of the three Mousam River hydro-powered dams surrendered by the Kennebunk Light and Power District.\nThe decision followed a workshop last Thursday during which the board discussed the town\u2019s potential role in the future of the dams with guidance from attorney\u2019s Scott Anderson and James Cohen of Verrill Dana. Anderson laid out four options for the town, with the first two involving continuing hydro-power generation at the Kesslen, Twine Mill and Dane Perkins dams, and the second two centering around retaining or removing the dams.\nThe board extended the meeting into Friday afternoon with a special session aimed at approving the appropriation of $13,000 for Kleinschmidt engineers to do a review of the Wright Pierce dam study commissioned by the KLPD board of trustees two years ago. But when it became clear to the board that the FERC licenses were off the table, they voted instead to appropriate the money for a study by Kleinschmidt on what it would mean financially for the town to retain or remove the dams.\n\u201cAt this point, to bring this to the voters of Kennebunk, they need to have a price tag, and that needs to be for both to retain or remove the dams,\u201d Town Manager Mike Pardue said.\nPardue also said that the study will need to consider maintenance of the dams if they remain in place.\n\u201cWe talk about retention, we talk about removal, what we haven\u2019t talked about is maintenance. Without power generation to offset that cost, it\u2019s purely an outlay of money each year, and we would need to know what that looks like.\u201d\nThe KLPD board of trustees commissioned the Wright Pierce study two years ago which laid out the conditions of the three dams and showed the potential costs of installing fish ladders, which would likely be required by FERC if the dams remain in place.\nMany in the grassroots \u201cSave the Dams\u201d group have questioned the figures and the river modeling done showing what the river will look like with the dams removed. Many river abutters say the river will be too small without the dams, and they are fearful about loss of recreation and loss of property values. They also cite the historic value of the dams to the town of Kennebunk as a vital reason for keeping them in place.\nSupporters of dam removal, including members of the Mousam and Kennebunk Rivers Alliance (MKRA), say returning the Mousam to a free flowing river will allow for more recreation and the return of vital fish species such as river herring and alewives. MKRA members say returning the dam to the way it flowed hundreds of years ago makes both environmental and fiscal sense for the town.\nAging dams\nWhile the cost to Kennebunk residents of removal or retention of the dams is still unclear, the condition of the hydro-power equipment has been studied and the picture is grim. At a public meeting of the KLPD board last spring General Manager Todd Shea shared a report from Bill Clewes, an electrical engineer specializing in hydropower, who did an assessment on the condition of the generating equipment at the dams.\nShea said the report shows the equipment at all three of the dams was in poor condition, with the Kesslen Dam deemed unsafe due to a buildup of carbon that created a fire hazard to Lafayette Center. The generating equipment for Kesslen Dam is directly under Duffy\u2019s Tavern & Grill in Lafayette Center. Power generation was stopped at Kesslen Dam until the problem was fixed.\nKesslen Dam\u2019s generating unit is 88 years old and the dam was last reconstructed in 1951. Twine Mill\u2019s generating unit was built in 1980, and the dam was last reconstructed in 1980, and the Dane Perkins generating equipment was built 80 years ago in 1936, and the dam was last reconstructed in 1980.\nKLPD trustees discovered last spring that it costs more to generate power from the aged dams than it does to buy power off the grid for district ratepayers. Currently the Kesslen, Dane Perkins and Twine Mill dams generate less than two percent of the total power sold by the district, according to Shea.\nThere appears to be no interest from outside parties in taking over the generation of power at the three dams, something that Pardue says sends a clear message.\n\u201cWhen you offer these dams up for literally one dollar, and no one comes forward to run them, that tells you that this just isn\u2019t a viable business option,\u201d he said.\nNo third party takers\nFollowing the power district\u2019s FERC filing, the town of Kennebunk or private hydro-power businesses can file a notice of intent to assume the licenses before the Sept. 11, 2017 deadline. So far there have been no takers, and the Board of Selectmen see it as too costly for the town to pursue.\nOne firm, Surge Hydro, expressed an early interest in the dams but could not secure financing according to Dick Morin, chairman of the Board of Selectmen. The town would have to come up with about a million dollars in financing from private sources or taxpayers in order to partner with Surge Hydro, a gamble Morin said is too risky.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a million dollar gamble based on the Surge (Hydro) presentation. I\u2019m not willing to gamble a million dollars of taxpayer money. That\u2019s not what we are here for, to gamble with people\u2019s money. Find me a sure thing. If you can\u2019t, then I\u2019m not prepared as a representative of this town to gamble with their money,\u201d Morin said.\nAccording to Morin, Pardue has actively pursued businesses interested in the dams, but has had no interest.\n\u201cSo we\u2019re saying there\u2019s no other option out there to keep those dams and generate power?\u201d Selectman Ed Karytko asked.\nMorin said Pardue has been on a \u201cscavenger hunt\u201d and took exception to comments Karytko made that the town had been \u201csitting on it\u2019s hands.\u201d\n\u201cWe did not sit on our hands, I take exception to that statement. Our town manager has been actively pursuing answers for us. We\u2019ve been all over the state,\u201d Morin said.\n\u201cIf there\u2019s another option, they haven\u2019t come forward to file. To this date no one has come forward, and we have not found someone to partner with us,\u201d Pardue said.\nResidents weigh in at workshop\nDebate has played out in impassioned exchanges between the different sides of the dam issue over the past several months. Public comment was subdued at last week\u2019s workshop.\nResident Susan Bloomfield said the dams have been on the minds of townspeople for years, and it\u2019s time for the board to take action.\n\u201cNo more beating bushes for dam saviors and hydropower heroes, I think there aren\u2019t any,\u201d Bloomfield said. \u201cIf there were, when this issue first came up people would have presented themselves, and they haven\u2019t. Waiting around for somebody to show up, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s rational,\u201d Bloomfield said. \u201cIt\u2019s been proven that the dams aren\u2019t viable, they are decrepit and obsolete.\u201d\nBloomfield also noted that there is substantial money available to defray the cost of dam removal and that has to be put into the mix when considering the costs.\nResident Rachel Phipps said she represents those who support dam removal for a number of reasons.\n\u201cI am a representative of a large group of people in this town who don\u2019t even want to see the dams stay. I know you\u2019ve been lobbied a lot as a board by the Save the Dams people, but there is a large constituency of good people in this town that would like to see the river returned to it\u2019s natural state for a lot of reasons. Economic reasons, environmental reasons, aesthetic reasons, lots of reasons,\u201d Phipps said.\nShe urged the board to put an equal amount of time and effort into looking at the benefits of dam removal.\n\u201cThe time and energy here is being spent in a very lopsided way,\u201d Phipps said.\nIf the FERC deadline of Sept. 11 passes without anyone filing intent to assume the licenses, the dams will remain the property of KLPD, and all stakeholders, including the town of Kennebunk and special interest groups, will begin the process of figuring out what to do next.\nAnderson said any and all stakeholders can be a part of the negotiations with FERC, and there are likely to be many organizations with an interest in the process.\nMeanwhile Pardue said he will work with attorney\u2019s Anderson and Cohen to come up with a proposal for a study from Kleinschmidt that will shed some light on the financial implications of retention versus removal of the dams.",

The sisters have been donated to Montlake Elementary School in Seattle. (Niffer Calderwood)\nMary Ann and Louisa Boren \u2014 two 14-foot cardboard puppets created by the artist Wayne White for the Seattle Art Fair \u2014 have been donated to the school as a dual art and Seattle-history lesson.\nStudents returning to Montlake Elementary School will have a pair of very tall, very colorful sisters joining their ranks this fall.\nMary Ann and Louisa Boren \u2014 two 14-foot cardboard puppets created by the artist Wayne White for the Seattle Art Fair \u2014 have been donated to the school, where one sister will be placed in each of the school\u2019s two stairwells, a whimsical lesson in local history, writ large.\n\u201cI think it\u2019s perfect,\u201d said White, now back home in Los Angeles. \u201cIt is kind of a portal for history for kids. And it sounded good. An old school with cool interiors. Maybe it will spark something else because it\u2019s pleasurable. Inspiration comes in all kinds of packages.\n\u201cPlus, they were willing to pick it up and won\u2019t sell it,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat\u2019s great. No resale.\u201d\nIt\u2019s not quite what White imagined when he created the piece for the Seattle Art Fair in a South Seattle studio with the help of a merry band of cutters, hot-glue gunners and painters led by local Cary Kemp. White was hoping to sell the sisters to a collector, or maybe even the city of Seattle, which the Borens helped found in 1851. Visitors to City Hall could pull the attached rope that makes them bob up and down. Something to help ease the stress of a parking ticket or, you know, being mayor.\nWhen no buyer appeared by last Saturday afternoon, fair producer Max Fishco put out the call for a taker. Local artist and entrepreneur Greg Lundgren volunteered his unsuspecting sister, Jennifer, an \u201call-star art teacher\u201d at Montlake.\nWhen Lundgren called his sister to tell her what he\u2019d done, she didn\u2019t hesitate: \u201cHeck, yeah!\u201d She had seen White\u2019s sets and puppets on the subversive children\u2019s show, \u201cPee-Wee\u2019s Playhouse,\u201d and in \u201cBeauty is Embarrassing,\u201d the 2012 documentary about White.\nWhite\u2019s silly-yet-substantive creation seems the perfect fit at Montlake, where Lundgren leads the Montlake Experimental Secret Art Society (MESAS, for short), a \u201cguerrilla art group\u201d of fourth- and fifth-graders. They have done things like stuff parking-ticket envelopes with handmade tickets for offenses like \u201cawesomeness\u201d and left them under the windshield wipers of their parents\u2019 cars, and in the neighborhood around the school. They also put on a fashion show in the school cafeteria using clothing out of the school\u2019s Lost & Found.\n\u201cWe are going to send Wayne an honorary membership that includes a code of conduct and a T-shirt,\u201d Lundgren told me. \u201cI think we are going to have to study him this year.\u201d\nThat study should include a review of White\u2019s price list so that the kids \u2014 and parents, and school district officials \u2014 fully appreciate what they\u2019re getting.\nYears ago, White created another set of cardboard, puppet siblings, The Louvin Brothers, based on the country-and-gospel duet. A private buyer paid $50,000 for the piece, then put the brothers in storage for a while before donating them to the Country Music Hall of Fame.\nNot only are the sisters a true art piece, they are true Seattle history \u2014 a quality that White seeks out in his subjects.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t want to do the obvious stuff: grunge, the Space Needle. It\u2019s a little too clich\u00e9,\u201d White said before he arrived here for the fair. \u201cI like their story,\u201d he said. He liked that Louisa kept their boat from going over the Cascade Falls when the men in charge got drunk or fell asleep; and that she brought with her the sweetbrier rose that now grows all over Seattle. And he liked that Mary Ann and Louisa\u2019s husbands \u2014 Arthur and David Denny \u2014 were brothers.\n\u201cThe Boren Sisters are just one example of Wayne using the local history,\u201d said Karyn Behnke of the Joshua Linder Gallery, which represents White. \u201cIt has to re-exist in the local context so that it maintains its presence and punch. It\u2019s the best place to combine the education process and the history.\n\u201cIf I brought them home to Detroit,\u201d Behnke added, \u201cno one would know what this was.\u201d\nLundgren thinks the sisters landed in just the right place \u2014 just as they did 167 years ago, when they stepped onto Alki Point.\n\u201cThe sisters found their people,\u201d Lundgren assured me. \u201cI think they are going to be very happy there.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Perspectives \u2014 November 5-9, 2018\nLast week in the Senate: remembering our veterans, the rise in asylum seekers and modernizing our elections.\nMy father, Bill Mitchell, was a 32-year veteran of the Canadian Army. He joined the Black Watch in 1938 and served until 1969. During that time, he fought extensively during the Second World War in Europe, and later served as a member of UN Forces in Korea. My father also joined a special monitoring force in Vietnam. He wasn\u2019t a combatant, but he was there at very dangerous times.\nI am extremely proud of my father, both for his courage and his belief in doing something that was bigger than he was.\nEvery day, Canadian Armed Forces members put their lives at risk, often leaving their loved ones behind to courageously defend our country's values and contribute to international peace and security.\nThis year, Canada marks the 65th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice, the 10th anniversary of National Peacekeepers' Day and the 100th anniversary of the Armistice of the First World War. Each of these is a milestone on the road to peace and freedom we continue to walk today.\nSince the end of the overt hostilities in Korea 65 years ago, Canadian soldiers have come to play a different, yet essential, role on the world stage. Their commitment and skills as peacekeepers have gained Canada respect and influence the world over.\nOn November 11th, we paid special homage to those who died in service to their country. We remember these brave women and men for their courage and their devotion to ideals. These were ordinary Canadians who made extraordinary sacrifices. Lest we forget!\nLast week, the Hon. Bill Blair, Minister of Border Security and Organized Crime Reduction, appeared before the Senate Question Period where Senator Larry W. Smith, Leader of the Opposition, raised questions related to the border.\nCurrently, about 40% of shelter occupants in the City of Toronto are refugees. Senator Smith led with a question concerning the minister\u2019s plan to ease the growing financial pressure on provincial and municipal services.\nWhile the Minister previously indicated that the number of illegal migrants has been reduced, the RCMP found that more people entered Canada illegally this year than last year. The Liberal government set a new target to deport 10,000 failed asylum seekers per year, yet Canada Border Services Agency staff say they learned of this plan through the media and that a clear plan to achieve this target may not exist. Despite assurances given by Minister Blair, the Immigration and Refugee Board reported that the wait times for processing asylum claims is now 21 months.\nConservative senators also asked Minister Blair about the problems posed by organized crime and licensed marijuana producers, problems related to the legalization of marijuana in the province of New Brunswick, as well as the adequacy of drug detection devices.\nNovember 11 was the Centennial of the Armistice of the First World War. That war saw the birth of an independent Canadian Army of over 630,000 fighters, one built from scratch in a few months and that simply did not exist when war was declared.\nThe Centennial of the Armistice is the occasion to reflect on the last 100 days of the war, a period of exceptional bravery but also of tragic loss. During these 100 days, more than 45,000 Canadians lost their lives, equivalent to 20 per cent of all the Canadian casualties of the four year war.\nI had the privilege of being one of the authors of a book recently launched by the Vimy Foundation, titled They Fought in Colour. Among the authors are historian Tim Cook, Paralympic athlete Rick Hansen and well-known writer Margaret Atwood. The book is simply stunning with more than 100 photos, most of them never before published.\nWe cannot remember these events without appreciating the scale of the human catastrophe that was the Great War of 1914-18. We must commemorate our victories, but we must never forget the blood that was spilled to win them.\nLast week, the Senate sent Bill C-76, the Elections Modernization Act, to committee for review. The bill attempts to do many things. It is a serious effort to increase accessibility to voting for Canadians; as well, the bill attempts to deal with some new and difficult issues concerning foreign influence, cyber-information, and third-party involvement in Canadian elections.\nI am convinced that the bill\u2019s provisions will assist Canadians to vote in greater numbers. The re-introduction of the use of the voter information cards to establish residency, and the re-introduction of vouching, are major features of the bill. Disabled Canadians will see more assistance as voters and as candidates. Youth will be able to pre-register to vote. More Canadians living abroad will be able to vote, and Armed Forces voters will have greater flexibility in where they can vote. Candidates with children will have more of their costs eligible for reimbursement; this will surely assist women who are running for public office.\nI am especially enthusiastic about the enhanced ability given to Elections Canada to undertake public education campaigns.\nBut there is much more in C-76. Experts who study elections are looking to Canada to be a leader in dealing with the many contentious developments related to cyber information and cyber threats during election campaigns. As the bill heads to committee, I only hope that there will be enough time to fully examine these and other pressing issues.\nSENATOR SERGE JOYAL, P.C.\nSENATOR DONNA DASKO",

But the mechanisms that underlie these phenomena are not well understood. These challenges are compounded for youth who are minimally verbal or have an intellectual disability.\nIn this lecture, Matthew Siegel drew upon a new resource, the Autism Inpatient Collection data set, to offer preliminary insights into the relationships between physiologic arousal, emotion dysregulation and the occurrence of challenging behaviors. Such behaviors may represent an attempt to modulate physiologic arousal in minimally verbal individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Siegel presented pilot data, using machine learning approaches, that identify physiologic arousal as a biomarker of distress in ASD and that illustrate an opportunity to predict the onset of challenging behavior in real time. This work seeks to address the critical, parent-identified issue of uncertainty regarding when a challenging behavior may occur and may open new avenues for intervention.\nMatthew Siegel is an associate professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at Tufts University School of Medicine, the vice president for medical affairs, developmental disorders service at Maine Behavioral Healthcare, and a faculty scientist at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute. He attended Amherst College, Stanford Medical School and trained at Brown University in child psychiatry, psychiatry, and pediatrics.

Written, directed and narrated by Alex Gibney. (R. 106 minutes. At the Lumiere and Shattuck.)\nAmong the dark films nominated for Oscars this year is Alex Gibney's rage-inducing expose of how the Bush administration came to condone torture in the name of national security. Thoroughly documented and with remarkably candid interviews with the perpetrators of and bureaucrats behind the violence, the documentary raises the question buried beneath the march of wartime headlines: How will the United States be affected by its disastrous abrogation of human rights and rule of law, now and for decades to come?\nGibney, who previously directed \"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room\" and who served as executive producer of the Iraq war documentary \"No End in Sight\" (also nominated for an Oscar), excels at morally outraged muckraking. His film is built around the case of Diliwar, a taxi driver who was detained in Afghanistan in 2002 and who died in American custody at the Bagram prison a few months later.\nRelying on reporting previously conducted by Carlotta Gall and Tim Golden of the New York Times - and through his interviews with military intelligence at Bagram - Gibney retraces how Diliwar suffered brutal physical treatment that was part of a de facto Army policy of torture: He was deprived of sleep for days, suspended from the ceiling by his wrists and beaten to the point where his legs were \"pulpified,\" according to the Army coroner. The death of the taxi driver, who had no known connection to al Qaeda or the Taliban and was never charged with a crime, was even documented by the U.S. prison coroner as homicide.\nDiliwar is the means by which Gibney traces a line of accountability from the abuses that took place at Bagram to Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. As those who followed the controversy surrounding the Abu Ghraib photos will remember, the principals of the Bush administration claimed that a few \"bad apples\" were responsible for the horrific acts that happened there. But Gibney argues, in overwhelming detail, that the waterboarding, sleep deprivation, sexual humiliation, shackling, hooding and other Spanish Inquisition-era practices that Alberto Gonzales rationalized as \"coercive interrogation techniques\" were sanctioned by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and probably George Bush himself.\nIf it weren't bad enough to be reminded that this crew of government officials found the Geneva Conventions \"quaint\" and \"vague,\" Gibney presents rounds of interviews with conservative Republicans and intelligence officers who conclude that not only did the United States commit war crimes in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, it did so without gleaning much intelligence. The film notes that of the hundreds of prisoners detained since September 2006 by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, only 1 percent have been convicted. Meanwhile, of the more than 100 deaths in U.S. custody, 37 have been officially declared homicides by the U.S. military.\n\"Taxi to the Dark Side\" will go down in film history as a damning historical document of the Bush administration's wartime expansion of executive powers. The film is not easy to watch (it includes never-before-seen photos and videos from the prisons) but it should be seen by anyone who considers himself a hell-bent critic or a trusting patriot or who is just confused about what went down at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. If Gibney wins an Oscar, it will be because academy members also want Americans to be rattled by the country's lost moral stature.\nThe film is also a personal project for Gibney, dedicated to his late father, who was a Naval interrogator during World War II and who was outraged by the revelations of torture at U.S. prisons. The last interview of the documentary is with Frank Gibney, who laments that torture is like a virulent virus, haunting the psyche of those who administer it, corrupting the officials who look the other way and discrediting the information obtained.\nSays the elder Gibney of his World War II interrogation work, \"There was a rule of law. You never forgot that ... It was something we believed. It made America different.\"\n-- Advisory: Disturbing images and content involving torture and graphic nudity.\n- Tamara Straus\n'Quantum Hoops'\nDocumentary. Narrated by David Duchovny. Directed by Rick Greenwald. (Not rated. 85 minutes. At the Shattuck.)\nWhenever discussing national collegiate basketball powerhouses, one naturally mentions UCLA, Indiana, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Caltech ... Oops, scratch the last one from that list. Or at least scratch the word basketball.\nCaltech is a powerhouse in academics, boasting among its faculty and alumni such luminaries as Albert Einstein, Linus Pauling, Charles Richter and Stephen Hawking. But when it comes to sports, the Beavers are mostly remembered for their off-field antics, such as the time they hacked into the Rose Bowl scoreboard, rather than their athletic prowess. And nowhere is Caltech not a success in the win column more than in men's basketball. \"Quantum Hoops,\" directed and written by Rick Greenwald, follows the 2006 team as it endeavors to end the school's 21-year losing streak.\nA fascinating look into student life of the past and present, \"Quantum Hoops\" uses archive footage and incisive present-day interviews while delving into whether sports is important for a well-rounded education. The revelations and clever use of each era in Caltech's history gives the film the charm needed to convince viewers that losing is a subject worth exploring.\nSports weren't always so inconsequential at Caltech. The football team even claimed a victory against UCLA, one of today's athletic behemoths. During World War II, so many Navy men attended the school that athletics thrived. Yet, just like the Amazing Mets of 1962, Caltech's ineptitude somehow dissolves the cynicism and makes us believe in the underdog.\nThere are some milestones Caltech fans are proud of, including Fred Newman of the class of 1959 who went on to become the world-record holder in free-throw shooting (more than 200 believe it or not). And then there was the end to Caltech's 99-game losing streak when the team beat 1979 Pomona-Pitzer College. The coach of PPC at the time was Gregg Popovich, who would go on to coach a bunch of NBA championships with the San Antonio Spurs. Kudos to Popovich, who gracefully exudes a good sense of humor in discussing his team's dubious role in the movie.\nThe current streak has a good chance of ending with the 2006 team. After all, six of the players played varsity in high school, and bit by bit the team has improved on their margin of loss: Two years earlier, Caltech lost each game by an average of 60 points.\nThe final game of the season against Whittier is the last opportunity for the seniors to get one in the victory column. What one sees is hope and perseverance as Caltech plays its best game of the year under adverse conditions. We won't tell you the final score, but no matter the actual outcome, these \"losers\" are true winners - on and off the court.\n-- Advisory: To fully enjoy the movie, don't Google the team results, and make sure you sit through the credits.\n- Leba Hertz\n'Shrooms'\nHorror. Starring Lindsey Haun, Jack Huston, Max Kasch, Maya Hazen, Alice Greczyn and Rob Hoffman. Directed by Paddy Breathnach. (Not rated. 84 minutes. At the Lumiere.)\nFor maybe 10 minutes, the novelty of watching an Irish slasher film - one in which the victims are college kids tripping on psychedelics - may hold your attention. But as it meanders on, Paddy Breathnach's \"Shrooms\" turns into a pedestrian slice 'n' dice feature highlighted by some visual effects designed to mime the experience of ingesting magic mushrooms.\nThe story involves the usual obnoxious group of young cliches - a jock, a wholesome cheerleader type, a wannabe martial artist, etc. - who, despite the setting in the misty Irish countryside, are Americans. They've traveled to the Emerald Isle to visit Jake (Jack Huston, son of actor-writer Tony Huston and grandson of John Huston), who's told them that Ireland has the world's finest magic mushrooms.\nThe Americans are led by Tara (Lindsey Haun), who met Jake on an earlier vacation and has a crush on him.\nNaturally, the woodsy area chosen for the group's druggy foray is one with a scary history, recounted by Jake over a campfire. It seems that nearby was the site of a boys detention center notorious for abysmal treatment of its residents, a place that spawned tales of torture and killings, allegedly at the hands of one Black Brother, a hooded figure who may still haunt the countryside.\nAlso upping the scare ante are a pair of drooling morons who have retreated from civilization in a big way.\nBefore the kids start tripping - and dying - Jake offers one piece of advice: Don't eat the Death's Head mushrooms. Infatuated Tara almost immediately ignores this wisdom, with very unpleasant consequences.\nStrange events start happening. Objects begin to quiver and throb. The kids think they see things in the woods and begin bickering.\nIs this actually happening? Or is it all hallucinations?\nAnd who really cares?\nIn fairness, director Breathnach and writer Pearse Elliott offer a couple of touches - including an inspired bit of silliness involving a talking animal - that suggest they have some perspective on this well-worn material. And Breathnach isn't simply a hack: In 1997 he made a pretty good indie picture called \"I Went Down,\" an Irish gangster comedy with Brendan Gleeson in the cast. But that's a world away from this half-baked effort.\n-- Advisory: Slasher film-style violence, drug use and some sexual situations.\n- Walter Addiego",

I\u2019ll teach you how to break the cycle once and for all, with this simple, yet critical concept.\nThe negative spin cycles that keep you stuck\nThe backwards approach toward change that\u2019s not working for you\nHow to finally break free from who you\u2019ve always been to who you want to be\nWelcome back everybody. Thanks so much for being here.\nTechnically, this is the second episode of Permission Granted, but it\u2019s the first episode that I\u2019ll be teaching\u2013 yes! the grand opening, cutting of the red ribbon ceremony i.e. welcome episode is behind us and now we enter shop\u2013 where you get to really browse the merchandise and try things on. Which I\u2019m pumped about as I hope you are because when the concepts I teach are learnt and applied, that\u2019s when things start shifting.\nInitially, I was going to go straight into some heavy lifting stuff, but my intuition was like, \u201cNo girl, keep it simple. One concept that will set the stage for your listeners.\u201d So that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do.\nToday, we are going to explore the question: Who Do You WANT to Be?\nNot who you\u2019ve been or who you are, but who you want to be ideally. Your ideal self.\nAs I was writing show notes for this episode, I couldn\u2019t help but think back to when I was entering my freshman year of college. It\u2019s of course this exciting time, but it was definitely nerve-racking, starting a whole new chapter of your life and in my experience, not knowing a single person going in.\nBut I remember, taking a step back from the anxiety of it all as I was driving to orientation weekend, I thought, \u201cWow, what an amazing opportunity to reinvent myself.\u201d Sure, I don\u2019t know anybody, but better yet, nobody knows me right? Like nobody knows my deal or my past, who I\u2019ve been and what I was in high school.\nI get to choose who I want to be\u2013 who I was going to be on campus.\nI could choose to be the same person I was in high school, this really nice, friendly, yet somewhat reserved person.\nOr I could choose to be this outgoing, uber confident, love meeting new people person.\nRight? It felt like a total clean slate.\nHowever with that being said, owning this new persona, did not mean that I was just walking around campus, going up to everybody and saying, \u201cHey, I\u2019m Shaina. I\u2019m awesome. I am confident and I am outgoing and I am the coolest person you\u2019ll meet here.\u201d No!\nI had to become this \u201cnew\u201d person, through a new way of thinking about myself, and walking around in a new feeling state and behaving like the outgoing, confident girl.\nAnd I\u2019m going to talk more about fully embracing this concept today and really becoming who you want to be.\nBut I just wanted to preface with that, because if you\u2019re listening, I want you to think of today, the start of this show as a clean slate\u2013 an opportunity for you draw a line in the sand and as you step over that line, letting go of any part of yourself that\u2019s not serving you in the direction of your dream life.\nAnd instead choosing to step into the role of your ideal self.\nAnd as we get going here, you\u2019ll begin to form a clearer picture of what this new and improved you looks like. You\u2019ll start to gain more insight into who you want to be moving forward.\nI talk to a lot of people who tell me that they\u2019re STUCK. They feel like things aren\u2019t changing for them and they\u2019re still the same person with the same results, and there\u2019s been little to no improvement. Same crap, different day.\nSo if you think about your own life for a second, what comes up for you?\nWhat area of your life stands out, where you\u2019re like, \u201cYEA, I\u2019m so tired of this. Nothing has changed. I\u2019m still exactly in the same place I was a year ago, two years, 5 years ago.\u201d\nMaybe you\u2019re still living paycheck to paycheck? Or you\u2019re still doing work at a job that you don\u2019t care about? Or you\u2019re still finding yourself in these unhealthy relationships time and time again?\nWhere do you feel like you\u2019re on a really slow Ferris wheel, that you just can\u2019t get off of?\nNow, if I were to ask you\u2026what do you want? Or better yet, what do you think you need to get unstuck and finally break the cycle?\nChances are you could easily rattle off a few things. More money, my own business, the perfect guy. Whatever.\nWe all have desires, yes. But we also have these ideas of who we\u2019d become once we achieve these desires. Right?\nIf I just had more money, THEN I could be this confident woman. Then, I\u2019d walk down the street in my designer clothes with my head held high. Then, I\u2019d feel way better about myself and I\u2019d be way more outgoing in social situations. Oooooh, if I had more money, I\u2019d have more time to work on that book I want to write. Oh, yea, yea, yea if I had more money, I\u2019d feel less anxious\u2026and I\u2019d be able to finally make better, bolder decisions.\nWe create these stories in our minds of this new and improved us if we just had this thing in our life. So what happens is that we wait for this external thing to transpire, to then become the person who we really want to be.\nWe don\u2019t give ourselves permission to FEEL amazing now and show up in all our amazingness, all because we don\u2019t have the things we want.\nBut I\u2019m here to tell you my friends, we have it all backwards.\nIn order to achieve the things we want, we must first step into the role of who we want to be. We must identify as our future ideal self in our current environment.\nI\u2019ll give you a classic example\u2026the person who wants to quit smoking. We\u2019ll call her Birdie.\nBirdie wants to be somebody who doesn\u2019t smoke. Birdie\u2019s been smoking since the age of 18 and is now 40 years old, she\u2019s well-aware of the health risks and wants to be a woman who lives a healthy lifestyle. That is her desire. That is who she wants to be. Yet year after year of taking action\u2026using the patch, trying to quit cold turkey, nicotine replacement therapy, chewing gum\u2026Birdie has not been successful in her many efforts.\nBirdie meets up with a friend for lunch who says, \u201cHey, I heard you\u2019re trying to quit smoking, how\u2019s it going?\u201d\nBirdie responds, \u201cI\u2019ve tried everything but nothing\u2019s working. Ya know, I\u2019ve been smoking for over 20 years and well, I\u2019m a smoker\u2026it\u2019s just hard.\u201d\nSee, as long as Birdie identifies herself as a smoker, no matter what she tries to do to quit (no matter what action or how much action she takes), it will never work.\nBecause in her mind, she is certain that she is a smoker\u2026I am a smoker. I\u2019ve always been a smoker.\nAnd when we\u2019re certain about our identity, our actions will prove that identity true, because ALL of our thoughts create our feelings which drive our actions.\nSo if I identify myself as somebody who struggles with money\u2026that\u2019s the reality that I\u2019m going to keep creating.\nBecause in my mind, I think, \u201cI AM somebody who\u2019s always struggled with money.\u201d And that belief that I carry around in my back pocket, causes me to feel bad, defeated, frustrated. And when we feel bad, defeated and frustrated, we aren\u2019t out in the world creating massive value, right? In fact, money worries and financial stress kill creativity. Not to mention, that we try to numb our feelings and one of the many ways to do that is spending money.\nIf I identify myself as somebody who\u2019s always dating the wrong guys, that\u2019s what I\u2019ll keep attracting. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve known somebody in your life and you\u2019re like, why does she keep picking these men that are so controlling?\nIf I identify myself as somebody who struggles with depression. I say to myself (and even to other people), yea I\u2019ve been depressed since I was 16 and I\u2019ve struggled with it ever since. guess what? My effort to overcome my depression is not going to be easy right? Because my subconscious is wired to think: I am somebody who struggles with depression. That\u2019s who I am. That\u2019s who I\u2019ve been.\nAnd who we THINK we are is established from our past experiences and our past conditioning.\nSo if we aren\u2019t conscious to our own thinking, we by default, look to our past to identify who we are today, which is why we end up recreating the same results over and over and over again.\nSo your first job, is to pinpoint how you identify yourself\u2026how you\u2019ve been identifying yourself over and over again\u2013 with money, in your career, in your relationships.\nI always just break even financially.\nI always date the wrong men.\nI AM a shopaholic.\nI AM a workaholic.\nI AM always left out.\nI AM unworthy.\nOr a lot of times we say, \u201cI AM not\u2026\u201d\nI AM NOT the gym type or I\u2019m NOT a physically strong person. Try getting yourself to the gym with this mentality. It\u2019s a daily struggle.\nAnd that\u2019s because our minds and our actions are not working in unison. It\u2019s like two magnets repelling each other.\nThis is the reason why taking action to break our spin cycles feels SO HARD!! We try so hard to get out of our financial rut, we try SO hard to get to the gym, we try SO hard to meet Mr. Right, but it feels like we\u2019re pushing a boulder up a mountain.\nAnd that\u2019s because our minds and our bodies are in a constant battle with one another.\nDo you know that only 5 percent of the mind is conscious? The remaining 95% is running on subconscious, automatic programming. So what that means\u2026is that even if the 5% of you is consciously saying, \u201cI want to get to the gym. I want to get out of debt.\u201d You are fighting against 95% habit.\nYou are fighting against 95% of past conditioning.\nIn order to change your external reality and break the cycles of who you were and get different results, you must first change how you identify yourself so that your mind and your body are working together.\nYou must break the habit of who you think you are (based on your past) and train your subconscious mind to form a new identity, even when your external environment doesn\u2019t match up.\nThat means that you feel like a million bucks and feel financially free, even if your bank account is in the red. And I\u2019ll dive deeper into this in just a second.\nSo once you pinpoint how you\u2019ve been identifying yourself for probably most of your life, you then decide who you want to be. Because you get to make that decision for yourself. You don\u2019t need anybody\u2019s permission. You\u2019re allowed to be whoever you want to be.\nDo you want to be the successful business owner?\nDo you want to be the happiest person you know?\nDo you want to be the fun-loving, easy-going, not so uptight person?\nDo you want to be the cool, super confident guy or gal?\nDo you want to be the person who is obsessed with the work they do?\nDo you want to be the person who never worries about money because it just falls into your lap?\nDecide who you want to be, once and for all. Enough with the same ole, same ole. Remember, you\u2019re drawing a line in the sand today.\nYou get to decide who you want to be right now, for your future.\nI AM ____________________ (fill in the blank).\nI am a successful business owner.\nI am the happiest person I know.\nI am a fun-loving, easy-going person.\nI am the most confident person in the room.\nI am obsessed with the work I do.\nI am financially secure. Money always falls into my lap. I never have to worry about money. Money loves me. Money finds it ways to me. Money flows to me. I live, breathe and expect an abundance of money.\nIt\u2019s about being conscious more often and replacing your old, habitual thinking with the thinking of your future self.\nBut please note and this is very important\u2026by itself, positive thinking is not enough.\nConsciously thinking one way, but BEING the opposite doesn\u2019t work. Again, when the mind and body are in opposition, change will never happen.\nYou must FEEL what you are thinking.\nWhen I was a kid, I used to play whiffle ball with my dad and every time I was up to bat, he would say: see the ball, be the ball, feel the ball, think like the ball.\nAnd that\u2019s what you\u2019ve gotta do here. You must visualize your new identity, be it, think like it, feel it.\nYour job is to completely step into the role of who you want to be as if you\u2019re already that person.\nBecause guys, our minds have no clue whether we are experiencing something in real time or in our imaginations. So you can actually go to the place in your mind of what you want and FEEL as though you already have it.\nIt\u2019s one of my favorite practices. Because at the end of the day, all we want is to FEEL awesome. And the fact that I can instantly get to that feeling place no matter where I am or what my circumstances are through the power of mind, is incredible.\nOK, and now for an example.\nLet\u2019s say that I\u2019m in a career rut. I can\u2019t seem to get ahead in my career as a writer. I\u2019ve been an assistant at an agency for 5 years, I\u2019ve been making the same amount of money, I haven\u2019t finished the book that I started writing. And I\u2019m just in a rut. Feeling frustrated.\nSo I take some to reflect and realize how I think about myself\u2013 how I\u2019ve been thinking about myself. Things like\u2026\nI\u2019ve never been a super motivated person. I feel like I\u2019m always behind in life. Things never work out for me.\nAnd I\u2019m like damn! This is how I see myself. No wonder why I\u2019m at a standstill.\nSo then I say, OK, who do I want to be. Because I definitely don\u2019t want to be this unmotivated person that nothing works out for.\nSo I reach into my imagination and I see my future, ideal self as a NY Times Best Selling Author. That\u2019s who I want to be.\nSo now my job is to think like a NY Times best-selling author, FEEL like a NY Times best-selling author and ACT like a NY times best-selling author.\nWhat does a NY Best Selling Author think? Well, I\u2019ll tell you what they\u2019re not definitely not thinking.. They\u2019re not thinking, \u201cThings never work out for me and I\u2019m always behind in life.\u201d\nNo! They are a best-selling author. So they think WOW, I AM a best-selling author. Things are working out beautifully for me. I\u2019m so accomplished. I love my job. I have the best life. This is all so exciting. My readers are amazing. I\u2019m so excited to keep writing.\nNow, how do you FEEL as a NY Times Best Selling Author when all the things are going on in your mind? Most likely you feel excited, confident, liberated, accomplished, admired, whatever!\nAnd when you FEEL those things, what do you do? What inspired action do you take from that place?\nWell I know one action I\u2019d definitely be taking\u2026writing!\nDo you see what I\u2019m saying? It\u2019s through embodying who you want to be in the present that you create the very things you desire through your action.\nIt\u2019s through this inspired action that you prove this new identity true!! You create that evidence (every single day) for why you are who you want to be!!\nWhen your mind and body match up, it\u2019s a beautiful thing. Inspired action is a beautiful thing.\nRewiring our brains is simple you guys, but not easy. It takes practice and dedication.\nIt\u2019s the same way an actor takes on a role and rehearses day in and day out.\nRecently, I watched the documentary, Jim & Andy, The Great Beyond, on Netflix. And it\u2019s all this behind the scenes footage of Jim Carey when we took on the role of the late comedian Andy Kaufman. And it was fascinating. If you\u2019ve never heard of method acting, it\u2019s when an actor takes on the complete emotional identification of the character that he or she is playing, on and off camera. I had never seen method acting like I did in this documentary. Like Jim Carey was Andy Kaufman. Even the cast and crew, after a few days were like WOW, like Jim doesn\u2019t exist on this set at all. He is Andy. Andy is here.\nAnd it\u2019s just fascinating and he\u2019s so talented and it\u2019s just such a great example of adopting an entirely new identity. Thinking like that person and feeling like the person and acting like the person. Becoming that person.\nSo in the same way that Jim Carey committed to his role in becoming Andy Kaufman, is the same way you\u2019ll need to commit to yours, whoever it is that you want to be.\nIt\u2019s a critical practice, because we can never be free from our bad habits and negative spin cycles until we free ourselves from a limiting identity.\nIt\u2019s never about getting what we want to become who we want to be. If that\u2019s how we live our lives, we\u2019re going to be waiting and waiting and waiting.\nYou must commit to becoming who you want to be right now, in order to get the things you want.\nAlright my friends, as we wrap things up here, remember that you\u2019re allowed to choose who you want to be right now.\nThe only permission you need is your own. So consider that permission granted.",

        "title": "Anti-Advice for the (Mid-Career) Technology Entrepreneur",
        "raw_content": "Anti-Advice for the (Mid-Career) Technology Entrepreneur\nPaddy Padmanabhan, Founder & CEO, Damo Consulting, Inc\nThe world of work is changing as fast as the world of information technology. Today, more and more people are leaving corporate environments and turning towards entrepreneurship, driven by a variety of factors. Mid-career professionals take the plunge into entrepreneurship for a variety of reasons: a desire to pursue a long-cherished dream, a family situation requiring a relocation or other changes in priorities, an unexpected startup opportunity, a job loss and struggles with finding employment, and disillusionment with the corporate environment.\nThe last one is particularly interesting. Studies show that as workers get older, they face systemic discrimination for their age by many corporations (Indian firms, in particular, openly ask candidates for their age during interviews, a practice that is illegal in the United States and elsewhere). These very same corporations struggle to attract younger, millennial workers, because that generation has no interest in working for large, bureaucratic organizations.\nLarge corporations are thus slowly losing the battle for talent because older workers are leaving and younger workers are not signing up adequately to fill the gap. An additional complication is the slow attrition of talent for older technologies required to maintain enterprise IT systems. As an example, a major healthcare company in the U.S recently inventoried their IT skills and realized that the only people with experience in Cobol programming (required to manage legacy mainframe applications) were workers in their seventies. No millennial in his right mind will learn Cobol today, and this creates a severe talent management issue for the company.\nThe changing dynamics of the corporate workplace are creating an unprecedented opportunity for mid-career entrepreneurs with significant experience to fill gaps that corporations are struggling to address. The meteoric rise of the \"gig\" economy, and the explosive growth of platforms like Upwork and Amazon\u2019s Mechanical Turk, are definite signs of this trend.\nThe meteoric rise of the \"gig\" economy, and the explosive growth of platforms like Upwork and Amazon\u2019s Mechanical Turk, are definite signs of this trend\nMid-career professionals who turn to entrepreneurship have some advantages, such as an understanding of how large corporations work, awareness of unwritten rules of conduct in business, and an extensive professional network that appreciates the maturity and experience that comes with years of corporate work.\nAs one such entrepreneur who has been fortunate to sustain and grow my company for several years, I continuously take stock of where I am and try to stay focused on a handful of fundamental principles. I want to share a few of these, and I refer to them as \"anti-advice,\" because they go against the grain of conventional advice that most entrepreneurs receive.\n\u2022 Choose your clients: Apple's innovative products are costly, and they never, ever go on sale. Their message is clear: they only want customers who care about the product and not about the price, even if that\u2019s a tiny fraction of the world\u2019s population. As the CEO and owner of my business, I am aware that I have to give my clients a compelling reason to hire my company to meet their needs. At the same time, I also have to be selective about who we want to work with because we are specialists in a particular sector and we have limited resources with the expertise and experience in our space. It\u2019s a conscious trade-off between opportunity costs and quality of business. A subtext to this: it takes patience and commitment to earn the opportunity to work with the clients of your choice.\n\u2022 Learn to walk away: For most entrepreneurs, it hard to say no to work. However, the long-term effects from accepting work that is not a good fit, or doesn't pay enough or is hard to execute because of unreasonably demanding customers can be devastating for an entrepreneur\u2019s mental health as well her bank account. A subtext to this principle: regardless of the profitability of the business, if a client shows a lack of integrity in any form, wind up as quickly as you can and head for the exit. In my company, we have consciously transitioned clients out of our portfolio for one or more of the above reasons.\n\u2022 Diversify, diversify, diversify: I sound like a mutual fund manager. I know. But customer concentration is an acute problem that impacts businesses of all sizes and makes smaller companies especially vulnerable if a large part of the revenue stream comes from one or two major accounts. Mitigating this problem is easier said than done. Entrepreneurs need to continually prospect for new clients, even when \u2013 and especially if \u2013 the current clients are paying well and are providing enough business to sustain for the foreseeable future. A subtext to this principle: Be extra sensitive to the risks arising from over-dependence on a single client sponsor. If this individual leaves the company, the next one to come along may decide to end the relationship.\nThere you have it. As Jack Welch said it, control your destiny or someone else will.\nAppOrchid: Augmenting Ai & Nlp In Healthcare Landscape\nSIERRA CIRCUITS: QUALITY MEETS DESIGN EXCELLENCE",

High School and accepted a scholarship to attend Toledo University after graduating in 2007, but he turned in his scholarship after his freshman year and opted to attend Purdue as a walk-on.\n\u201cThere\u2019s not one thing to prepare you enough taking a sport from the high school to the college level,\u201d the 21-year-old Gunter said Thursday prior to the Sliders\u2019\nProspect League baseball game against Dubois County at Lanphier Park. \u201cIt\u2019s more of a job in college. You put in 20 to 30 hours a week year round with conditioning, practice and study tables outside of class that keep you focused on academics.\n\u201cToledo turned out not to be the right place for me, but I left on good terms with no hard feelings. I wanted to go back to Indiana. Purdue is a respected baseball program and I\u2019m going to pay my own way there.\n\u201cI talked with (Purdue assistant coach and former Sliders manager) Ryan Sawyers and met with (Purdue coach) Doug Schreiber. He said they could use me. I have a roster spot for sure.\u201d\nGunter, who was 0-2 at Toledo, sat out last season per NCAA rules after transferring to Purdue and will be a junior academically and a red-shirt sophomore athletically this coming school year.\n\u201cMy parents didn\u2019t try to talk me out of leaving Toledo,\u201d Gunter replied when asked about giving up his scholarship. \u201cTheir main points were for me to pray about it and think about it. It\u2019s easy to burn bridges and cut ties. I took my time. I gave (Toledo) everything I had and they gave me every opportunity. Both sides fulfilled my one year there.\u201d\nGunter is 3-5 with a 2.04 earned-run-average and one complete game in nine starts for the Sliders.\n\u201cHe was \u2018get it and go\u2019 and inconsistent in his delivery when we first got him,\u201d Sliders pitching coach Danny Cox said about Gunter. \u201cHe\u2019s made his biggest improvement in thinking more out there about what results he wants to get. That\u2019s real important. He doesn\u2019t throw real hard. He needs to locate his pitches.\u201d\nGunter is playing in a summer collegiate league for the first time this year. He got off to a fast start with the Sliders and made the Prospect League West Division All-Star team.\n\u201cI\u2019d say I\u2019m your crafty lefty; I\u2019m not going to blow it by anybody,\u201d he said. \u201cIts a lot different here than college ball where you have two or three days off a week. This is a minor-league type summer and you see it.\n\u201cI was real nervous my first start after taking a full year off pitching. I was restricted (at Purdue) to fall ball and scrimmages. I had two months of bullpen-like work before coming here. I developed a hitch in my delivery and coach Cox has worked on mechanics with me.\u201d\nGunter feels his strong Christian background has played a significant role in his success on the baseball field, but doesn\u2019t wear his Christian beliefs on his sleeve.\n\u201cMy mother is associate pastor and head of women\u2019s ministries at Grace Community Church in Noblesville, Indiana,\u201d Gunter said. \u201cMy upbringing is very directly related to my baseball. I think God has blessed me in being left-handed and giving me good athletic abilities.\n\u201cI\u2019m your average guy. I\u2019m not like (Florida Gators quarterback) Tim Tebow, but I don\u2019t hesitate to say I\u2019m a very happy and blessed person. I\u2019ve worked hard and was blessed to be recruited out of high school.\u201d\nWhat does the future hold for Gunter and his baseball career at Purdue?\n\u201cToledo was a growing experience for me,\u201d he replied. \u201cYou go from being the top dog in high school to just another guy and that makes it tough. I remember them telling me college ball would be a lot of work. You think you\u2019re ready, but you don\u2019t know until you experience it. Toledo prepared me immensely to go to Purdue.\u201d\nDon Trello can be reached at 788-1550",

His good taste and finesse have allowed him to play in numerous settings with various accomplished musicians. De Souza studied with world renowned jazz drummer and master teacher Joe Morello for eight years. He also had a year of private studies with distinguished all-round percussion teacher Glenn Weber. Aside from the inspiration of Mr. Morello, other influential performers include Buddy Rich, Airto Moreira, Dave Weckl, Roy Haynes, and Bill Stewart.\nComing from a musical family, de Souza began playing the drums at the age of eleven.

        "raw_content": "Does Reality Show\u2019s Shift to Social Media Impact Ratings?\nLike most people, when I stay home sick from work, I plant myself firmly on my couch, surround myself with various beverages and medicine, and watch whatever happens to be on TV. I was flipping through the channels and came across America\u2019s Next Top Model, a modeling competition reality show that my best friend and I watched entirely too enthusiastically back in our college days. Season after season, we saw girls learn from experts in the modeling industry, face personal and professional obstacles with the challenges and their peers, and receive critique on their progress, all the while struggling to avoid elimination from the competition.\nAs I basked in my guilty pleasure for yet another season, I wondered how Tyra Banks managed to keep a show going for nearly 11 years and going into its 21st season since 2003. How did the creators get to this point? How could such a show manage to keep ratings high enough to continue to stay on the air? How is it currently doing in comparison to when it first started?\nLet\u2019s look into how America\u2019s Next Top Model came to be the influential show it is today and what impact, if any, emphasizing social media had on the show.\nA Popular Franchise\nThe first episode premiered in 2003 and since then it\u2019s been more than just a reality show for aspiring models who want to receive a big break in the industry. Its creator Tyra Banks has created a franchise, extending Top Model to approximately 40 different countries around the world. Since 2003, its impact is widely recognized and the show has become influential on a global scale for launching the modeling careers of winners and contestants.\nEmbracing Social Media\nLike most TV shows, interest goes up when the show is on and decreases during off-time. It wasn\u2019t until 2012 that Top Model began to incorporate social media and fan votes as factors in the competition. This is a smart move made by producers attempting to peak viewer interest and participation with the show. They are on point with what\u2019s important: audience engagement.\nI have also noticed (through my guilty pleasure) that the focus has shifted through the cycles. After 2012, the show made branding one\u2019s self within the modeling industry a huge emphasis. Contestants from Cycle 19 and 20 learn about marketing themselves as a brand to clients. They are judged not only by contestants but by fans throughout social media, something that has never been implemented in the show until recently.\nWhat Businesses Can Learn From Top Model\nWith regards to Top Model, businesses can take away the example that making changes which might have a greater appeal towards the target audience will help keep the business popular.\nThe shift to focusing on social media was most likely one of the factors that helped keep ratings up during the on-season. By shifting the focus on the model through his/her unique brand instead of making the reality show just about impressing clients through a portfolio, the show has seen an increase in interest.\nThe models benefit from these changes as well. By learning to create and market their unique brand, they can best go out and represent themselves when they move forward in their careers after being on Top Model.\nIt seems that if Top Model continues shifting towards audience engagement, they will be on the air for a while. The franchise created by Banks is not likely to go away anytime soon, and the influence of Top Model will prevail at least for a few more seasons.\nTop 10 Places to Create Free Memes for Your Social Media Stream\nUnderstanding Facebook Offline Conversions\nDon\u2019t Give Up On Twitter Ads!\nBlogDigital MarketingDoes Reality Show\u2019s Shift to Social Media Impact Ratings?",

        "raw_content": "Southdown\u2019s Wartime History\nDuring the Second World War, the Southdown Club could not operate as all private gliding was suspended. So after a while it was revived by the government, in the form of training for young people prior to call up. Firstly, the organisation was called The Air Defence Cadet Corps, which later became the Air Training Corps. Southdown came back to life again in the form of 161 Squadron A.T.C. based at Hassocks in a field alongside the London to Brighton railway line.\nCadets from various squadrons in Brighton, Hove, Hassocks and Burgess Hill were then given the chance to train and fly Dagling Primary gliders.\nI joined the group in 1941 and used to travel by train up from Brighton with another cadet called McCubbin, who incidentally was born on the same day and year as myself. We always knew when we were there as the porter used shout \u201cSocks\u201d on arrival.\nThe officers who operated the field were the C.O. Flt. Lt. S.G. Stevens, F.O. Squeege Ashton, Flt. Lt. Winters and F.O. Norman. Some were pre-war members and some became post-war founder members of the reformed Southdown Gliding Club. The main office on the field at that time was a caravan which was \u2018out of bounds\u2019 to us \u2018erks\u2019.\nThe only means of launching then was an old barrage balloon winch. The cable from this went up the field through an old car wheel on a wooden base which was staked into the ground. So all launches took place alongside the winch.\nRetrieving vehicles were a pre-war Morris Cowley and an old Vauxhall. These were modified by removing the bodywork and fixing a scaffold pole at right angles to the chassis. This meant you could fix the glider to the protruding pole and sit on a rear mounted seat on the chassis by holding onto the wing. In this way the glider was retrieved with no walking.\nThere was no hangar to stow the aircraft in and the only place to put them was in a railway tunnel underneath the London to Brighton line which constantly dripped with water in the winter.\nAt the age of fourteen, to be able drive a retrieve vehicle and glide was great fun, There was also a fully camouflaged American Pontiac with R,A.F. roundels and F11 on the front. This was the staff car and a few of us were allowed to drive this to the village to get grub for the chaps. During the war there were no driving licences so it was possible to do this.\nLaunching was performed by using ground slides, low and high hops and S turns. This could be exciting at times, as prior to flying we had to clear the field of cows. This meant that you were splattered liberally with cow pats during take off and landing.\nOne day there was a flurry as \u2018Dad\u2019s Army\u2019 turned up in force, not to mention a policeman in a tin helmet. It appeared that they had reports of gliders landing and there were troops. The T.V. series really brings it back to me with a laugh.\nWe also had a visit from the air officer commanding the area one day, who had a peg leg. I do not know how he managed in a wet field! He appears to have been there to inspect how the training was going. Then Steve Stevens the C.O. pushed me into a Dagling and whispered \u201cGet the stick back, lad and get as much height as you can. We will show them!\u201d The cable tightened and I was soon launched to about 200-300 ft. All of a sudden there was a loud bang so I looked back and could see fabric fluttering. Between the chap on the winch and myself not releasing, I managed to \u2018kite\u2019 the aircraft back to the ground. Part of the wing covering had come off and we think this problem was due to the damp conditions in the tunnel storage.\nTwo other people who joined the group at Hassocks were Ted Palmer, who was an instructor at Parham for many years and Bob Stringer, who helped me for a long time in the workshops until health forced him to give up.\nAs time went by the Daglings were modified to take two wheels. We also fixed a cover round the front of the aircraft to form a sort of cockpit. I think it was more of a protection against cow pats.\nWe were regularly \u2018buzzed\u2019 by fighters during flying and it was a bit of a fright when you were on a \u2018high hop\u2019 and the fighters roared alongside. I joined up in the R.A.F. in 1945 and the club moved to Shoreham. It\u2019s all a long time ago (57 years). The club has changed but the \u2018old spirit\u2019 is still there in a different way.\nTranscribed by Tom Beck. 11 May 2015.",

        "raw_content": "Oldest, Farthest Star Explosions Discovered in Distant Universe\nHigh-resolution simulation of a galaxy hosting a super-luminous supernova and its chaotic environment in the early Universe.\n(Image: \u00a9 Adrian Malec and Marie Martig (Swinburne University). )\nThe most distant star explosions in the universe have now been discovered, suggesting scientists may one day see the deaths of the first stars to arise after the Big Bang, researchers say.\nFuture research into such remote, powerful explosions could shed light on the evolution of the universe since the Big Bang, investigators added.\nThe most powerful star explosionsare supernovas, which are bright enough to briefly outshine all the stars in their home galaxies. In the past 12 years, astronomers have detected a new class of supernova, so-called super-luminous supernovas, which areup to 100 times brighter than all the others.\n\"Super-luminous supernovae are very energetic events and extremely rare,\" lead study author Jeff Cooke, an astronomer at the Swinburne University of Technology in Hawthorn, Australia, told SPACE.com. \"They are very destructive as well. In the early universe, many galaxies were quite small but vigorously forming stars. A single supernova of this type could disrupt a significant fraction of such a galaxy and, in some cases, cause the star formation process to come to a halt.\"\nHowever, in larger galaxies where super-luminous supernovas make less of an overall impact, the material blown off them \"provides the seeds to form new stars, and the shock waves from the explosions can help to compress gas in those galaxies to accelerate the star formation process,\" Cooke added. \"So they can be the bringers of death or the bringers of life to stars. Detecting and measuring the rate of super-luminous supernovae in the early universe helps clarify their role in the formation and evolution of galaxies.\" [Supernova Photos: Great Images of Star Explosions]\nThe origins of super-luminous supernovas remain mysterious. Researchers think some of them result from the detonation of extraordinarily large stars 100 to 250 times the mass of the sun. These are the rarest kind of super-luminous supernova, known as radioactively powered SLSNe-R, or as pair-instability supernovas.\nAstrophysicists suspect that within the stars that gave rise to these supernovas, conditions are just right for gamma-ray light to convert into pairs of electrons and their antimatter counterparts, known as positrons. These gamma-rays normally help exert pressure that helps support the star against the crushing effects of gravity. As gamma-rays get converted to matter, the star loses this support, collapsing in on itself. This collapse triggers a runaway thermonuclear explosion that completely obliterates the star.\n\"The progenitor stars to these supernovae have really interesting physics going on inside them prior to explosion that has been long theorized but only recently observed,\" Cooke said.\nThe giant stars that give rise to pair-instability supernovas are far larger than any existing today, and are thought to have been more common in the early universe. This is because elements heavier than helium did not exist in any significant amounts back then that could help suck up heat so that gas could cool and collapse to form stars. These relatively heavy elements \u2014 including carbon, oxygen, iron and most of the matter seen on Earth \u2014 only began to be forged in large amounts during the lives and violent deaths of the first stars.\n\"The first generation of stars born after the Big Bang formed from pristine gas,\" Cooke said. \"Their subsequent supernova deaths polluted the universe with heavier elements and the following generation of stars formed from this enriched gas. Thus, the first generation of stars was truly unique.\"\nInstead, to overcome the lack of cooling ingredients and create the first stars, huge amounts of mass were needed to generate powerful gravity fields. This gravitational pull helped collapse gas together to set off star formation.\nGazing at the edge of time\nTo find these ancient giant stars and their super-luminous supernovas, researchers gazed into distant reaches of the universe. Since light takes time to travel, the more distant the star, the farther its light has traveled and the older the star is when observed. This means the most distant stars astronomers can see are also the oldest.\nScientists focused on ancient super-luminous supernovas that exploded more than 10 billion years ago, back when the universe was less than one-quarter of its current 13.7-billion-year age. By combining all the available images from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope's Legacy Survey to create the deepest images possible, the scientists discovered two supernovas, one that occurred about 10.4 billion years ago, the other about 12.1 billion years ago. Until now, the most distant supernova seen came from an explosion about 10.8 billion years ago.\nOne, and possibly both, of these newfound super-luminous supernovas are pair-instability supernovas. Until now, astronomers had only detected one pair-instability supernova with any certainty.\nThe pattern of light seen from these newfound supernovas suggests they did not actually come from the very first generation of stars. Still, \"one of the most exciting things is that this work demonstrates that we have the technique and technology right now to detect the deaths of the first generation of stars that formed after the Big Bang,\" Cooke said. \"Previous to this work, it was assumed that we would need to wait until the next decade for the upcoming instruments and large-aperture telescopes to make these detections.\"\n\"The first stars to form after the Big Bang laid the framework for the long process of enriching the universe that eventually produced the diverse set of galaxies, stars and planets we see around us today,\" Cooke said. \"Our discoveries mean that we now have the means to investigate this process from the beginning.\"\nThe researchers are now concentrating on events most likely linked with the first generation of stars. \"The pristine gas that these stars require is predicted to be found in the far outskirts of galaxies or in areas where there is no visible host galaxy,\" Cooke said. \"We call the supernovae in these remote regions 'orphan supernovae' because there is no obvious host associated with them. This project is already finding some interesting events.\"\nIn addition, the scientists aim to use super-luminous supernovas \"as bright beacons that temporarily light up their host galaxy from the inside,\" Cooke added. \"Events detected when they are at their brightest in upcoming surveys will reveal the properties of the gas in the galaxies that host them that would otherwise be invisible.\"\nThe scientists detailed their findings online Oct. 31 in the journal Nature.",

In this book, as in others, Marim\u00f3n creates unforgettable images in a voice uniquely her own. But her poems are more than images. They convey a sort of triumphal loneliness characteristic of her generation, a deep reverence for the symbols of her national landscape and culture laced with the personal dreams she is unafraid to express: \"She only wanted to escape to a different place / feel the nostalgia of exile, be truly sad / apart, / a weightless autumn leaf,\" she says in \"One day in 1980.\"\nYanira Marim\u00f3n was born in Matanzas, Cuba in 1971. She comes from a family of writers. Marim\u00f3n has published widely in Cuba and abroad, earning the Somos Foundation's First International Poetry Contest in Miami in 2016 and achieving the status of finalist in the Fernando Rielo World Poetry Contest of Spain in 2015, as well as in contests in Cuba. Among the latter, was the prestigious National Literary Critic's prize in 2009. She lives in Matanzas and is a member of Cuba's Union of Writers and Artists (UNEAC).\nAuthor City: MATANZAS CUB",

        "raw_content": "St Gregory\u2019s Church, Sudbury, Suffolk, United Kingdom\nSt Gregory\u2019s is an Anglican Church (Church of England) serving most of the town of Sudbury, Suffolk in the United Kingdom. St Gregory\u2019s has been in Sudbury for many centuries and continues to be a focus for the local community and is seen by many as the \"Mother Church\" of Sudbury. St Gregory\u2019s aims to provide for the spiritual needs of the town and wants all who come, whether just as visitors to the building, or to join in with the worship, to feel a warm welcome.\nOffering a range of Christian worship on weekdays and Sundays which is both welcoming and inclusive. St Gregory's continues to serve the local community through baptisms, weddings and funerals, and as a venue for Civic and other services, and as a church building that is open daily and provides a peaceful space for visits and for prayer and reflection.\n'Happy New Year' to you all from all of us at St. Greg's.\nWe wish you every blessing in the coming year. This is a time of uncertainty for our country ( I don't need to mention the B word do I?) but whatever your situation and the challenges you face this year, know that we are praying for our country, for our town and for all who need to know that God's presence is with them. Please contact me or another member of the ministry team if you would like prayer or support for you or another member of your family. In the Feast of Christmas we celebrate that God is with us, whatever is going on in our lives. We pray that you will find God a firm foundation and a source of steadfast love and hope this year.\nDad helps Finlay and Theo light their baptism candles as Joshua receives his candle\nExploring Ways to be the \u2018Mother church\u2019 of Sudbury\nOne of the ways in which I often hear St. Gregory\u2019s church described is as the \u2018mother church\u2019 of Sudbury. As you know, there has been a church on this site since at least the eighth century, Civic and community services such as the Remembrance Day Service are traditionally held here, and many families in Sudbury have come to St. Greg\u2019s for baptisms, wedding and funerals for generations. But of course, there is more to being a mother church than this, and recently we\u2019ve been exploring in the Ministry team what else we can be doing to serve our town and show our neighbours the nurturing care we associate with mothers.\nAs you\u2019ll remember just over a year ago Antony Arbuthnot, Teresa Bishop and myself spent a night sleeping rough in the church porch to raise money for homelessness work. The response we received not just from the congregation but from many people in the town showed me how concerned people are to help those who become homeless, recognising that in today\u2019s fragile world it can happen to anyone. I\u2019ve become involved with the Community depot that Teresa runs, offering the Rectory garage as a storage space for furniture which is in the process of being recycled to those who most need it when they finally get somewhere to call home. Members of the ministry team and myself travelled to Ipswich to see work being done by churches there in running the Ipswich Night Shelter and a Hope into Action house. The Night Shelter is a time-consuming project, and fortunately there are not so many rough sleepers in Sudbury (though one is more than enough) to make it a pressing need. Hope into Action is a Christian charity which provides homes for those getting their lives together again after a period of homelessness, offering support and the building blocks for a new life.\nI\u2019m excited to say that we now have a group of investors who can provide enough capital to buy a house in Sudbury (it\u2019s actually a very good investment with a 2% p.a return- see the Hope into Action website if you might be interested or speak to me). The charity then leases the house from the investors and takes care of repairs and maintenance, finding tenants and administering tenancies and provide specially trained support workers for the tenants. A local church partners with the project in prayer, in offering in friendship to the tenants and in recruiting a small team (3-4 people) to build deeper relationships with the tenants. At our most recent PCC we voted unanimously to partner with the house which will be purchased in Sudbury. On average tenants stay in Hope into Action houses for about 18 months while they get back on track, it will be a privilege to be part of their journey.\nPlease continue to pray as, along with other Christians, I see the need for some kind of accommodation for those who do not fit into the usual boxes but nevertheless deserve safe, secure and homely accommodation. We also dream of offering more drop-in\u2019s, more meals and more opportunities to gain life skills.\nAnother national initiative that seemed worth exploring when we visited the launch of the Cinnamon Trust in Suffolk, was Parish Nursing. Parish nurses are experienced registered nurses who work in partnership with local GPs and other health services. They do not prescribe medications or administer treatments but they fill a gap in providing whole person healthcare. So, for instance they might undertake health education and advice, offer short-term transitional nursing for those recovering from illness or injury, assist and support self-management for those with lifelong illnesses and conditions and offer non-specialist palliative care as appropriate. A number of parishes in Suffolk already have them in places such as Felixstowe, Capel St. Mary and the Moreton Hall area of Bury. We plan to visit and learn more with the aim of setting up a scheme here, hopefully in partnership with St. Andrew\u2019s, Great Cornard who also see the benefit that such nurses could offer in our community. Please pray about this. I regularly find myself trying to support congregation members who need nursing care, and although I am always happy to help as I can I recognise that I don\u2019t have the specialist skills or contacts that could really make a difference.\nOur role as mother church in the town was in our thoughts as we thought about where we should give our tithe of church income. Of course, there are so many worthy charities we could support, and we will always look to give a portion of this to brothers and sisters overseas, but we felt that the main portion could be used to \u2018partner in the gospel\u2019 with other local Christians who were undertaking work that we couldn\u2019t do ourselves. So, for 2019 we shall be giving \u00a31,000 each to Edens Youth Project in Gainsborough Street, to Future Vision who work in schools providing chaplaincy, support and Open the Book to children and staff, No.72 North Street which provides a Christian drop-in centre with support and advice available to all and the Storehouse Foodbank which is run by the Vineyard Church and needs nearly \u00a320,000 per year to run as well as our donations of food. We will continue to send the Christingle service collection to the Children\u2019s Society and to we still have some money available for responding to desperate needs in different parts of our world which will arise this year.\nFinally, when we talk about nurturing I can\u2019t forget our Lay Elders who visit individuals and many of the Care Homes in Sudbury, taking Home Communion and offering friendship and care. We will shortly commission many of our Elders for another three years of ministry, but I wanted to publicly thank two Elders who won\u2019t be continuing with this ministry at the moment. Irene Harding Payne, who has done so much in friendship and practical care for so many, and helps me keep abreast of who is sick or in need, is now hanging up her Lay Elder badge and taking a well-deserved rest. We send her our love and prayers as she continues to deal with her own health issues. Sam Hobson has found that her own demanding professional role nursing at WSH and support needed by other family members with issues means that she must lay aside this role for a while. We hope and pray that she will be able to pick it up at a later date.\nThe church is open each day from 9.00am-3.30pm\nDo call in if you are in Sudbury. - It is your church.\nIf you come on a Friday morning we offer coffee and biscuits following our service at 10.00am.\nThe Revd. Canon Cheryl Collins, would be pleased to hear from you with any queries you might have.\nMinistry Letters\nServices and Events Agenda\nSt Gregory\u2019s Church, Sudbury, Suffolk, CO10 2AS\nPlease do not use any images or content from our website without obtaining written permission from respective owners as copyright conditions exist.",

She wouldn\u2019t eat or drink and she wasn\u2019t putting any weight on.\n\u201cSo she was taken into hospital and the doctors said it was a possibility that she had Cockayne Syndrome.\u201d\nThe 26-year-old, of Worsley Green, Pemberton, added: \u201cI had never heard of it before.\u201d\nBut in every other respect, Lily-Mae is just like every other child.\n\u201cWe like to get her out and interacting with other kids. She\u2019s always happy and smiling, she\u2019s just a happy girl.\n\u201cBut she has loads of appointments with the hospital and physiotherapists. We just try the best we can.\u201d\nThe syndrome is classed as a rare form of dwarfism and is an inherited disorder whose diagnosis depends on the presence of three signs - short stature, abnormal sensitivity to light and prematurely aged appearance.\nIn the classical form of the syndrome, the symptoms are progressive and typically become apparent after the age of one year.\nLily-Mae\u2019s grandmother Sue Hodson said: \u201cIt\u2019s a really nasty disease. A lot of people will look at her and ask how old she is, and when we tell them her age, they know something is wrong.\u201d\nNow the family are organising an event to raise awareness of the incurable illness, which has a carries an average life expectancy of just over eight years.\nThe fund-raiser at Holland Hall on August 20 will be in aid of Amy and Friends, a Cockayne syndrome support group which Sally heaped praise on.\n\u201cThey always go out of their way to help you, so it\u2019s nice to do something to give back so they can go on to help others with Cockayne syndrome,\u201d she said.\nThe family fun-day will include up to 20 stalls, singers, dancers, bouncy castle, raffle and a small auction, all to raise vital funds and awareness for Amy and Friends.\nAmy and Friends consists of Cockayne syndrome sufferers, their parents, siblings and extended families.\nThe group organises meetings for people to share experiences and knowledge of the condition and to gain support from each other.\nLocal businesses are being asked to get involved by donating items for the raffle and auction. Any companies interested in helping can contact Sue Hodson on 07518 616377.",

        "raw_content": "Peter Coker was born in London in 1926, to a businessman father and an art-loving mother. His artistic flair was discouraged; he was instead pressed to pursue a career in business. He eventually overcame this and took evening classes at St Martin's School of Art where he became full time at the age of 17.\nHe became an associate with the 'Kitchen Sink School' of artists due to his stark paintings of the interiors of butchers' shops. This group was made up of British painters who determinedly refused to be led by fashion. These works have remained some of his most memorable with their depictions of great joints of meat and dangling carcasses, they brought him nationwide attention at his show at the Zwemmer Gallery in 1958. However he was sadly eclipsed by the excitement caused by the ground-breaking Abstract Expressionism exhibition brought to London by New York's Museum of Modern Art in the same year.\nCoker was not discouraged, and continued to paint in a realist fashion with increasing focus on the landscape. His love of the countryside began at the age of 11 when his family moved to Essex and he developed a keen interest in the works of Courbet whilst in France in 1949. After his marriage, he lived in the Essex village of Mistley, near Manningtree, where he became close friends with the nearby artist John Nash. He also taught at St Martin's and at the Royal Academy Schools, and became a Royal Academician in 1972.\nAfter the tragedy of his beloved son's death in 1985, Coker found comfort in his paintings, which he continued to produce until his death.\nVIEW OF A COASTAL TOWN\nSigned with initials l.r., watercolour\nSigned l.r., charcoal, with artist's label verso",

        "title": "Bad Astronomy | Spitzer peeks under a cradle\u2019s blanket | SYFY WIRE",
        "raw_content": "Spitzer peeks under a cradle\u2019s blanket\nI think one of the most amazing things we have learned in the centuries of the scientific pursuit of astronomy is that stars are born, they live out their lives, and that they die. That concept by itself is stunning: a process which takes billions of years can be understood, simply by knowing a few laws of physics and taking a look around.\nAnd look we do. We have fantastic tools to investigate the lives of stars, and one of the best is the Spitzer Space Telescope. Don't believe me? Then take a look at this stunner:\nSpitzer took this gorgeous picture of the star forming region around the nearby star Rho Ophiuchi (just called Rho Oph for short). At 400 light years away, it's one of the closest places where stars are actively being born, and so it provides us a front-row seat to the process.\nHowever, the problem is that our great view to the show is blocked by a stage curtain. Star birth, like human birth, is messy. Gas and dust litter the nursery, obscuring what's going on. Spitzer's advantage is that it sees light in the infrared, which can penetrate the muck. The stars being born emit a lot of infrared light, so it can pierce the veil, so to speak, and reach us and our telescopes.\nAnd what a sight! Infrared light emitted by the gas and dust themselves appears as tenuous wisps streaming across the view. The newborn stars shine brightly, and their fierce light (and strong solar winds) sculpt the gas, pushing it aside, carving sandbar-like shapes. Look at the windswept cloud just above the center of the image. That blob of material is probably a light year or more across, and its shape is due to the infant stars just below it and to the right in the picture. They are eroding it as surely as a river erodes away a spit of sand.\nSpitzer can see different wavelengths, different colors of infrared as well, and this tells us different things about the nebula. For example, in the image above at the very left just below center is a red star, and you can just see that is has a fuzziness to it. In this case, the light we are seeing is coming mostly from very long infrared wavelengths (24 microns, for those keeping track at home; for comparison, a human hair is about 50 microns wide). But Spitzer can also see shorter wavelengths where the view is a little better, and it made an image of this nebula using those colors of infrared as well. Here is a side-by-side of the two images, zoomed in and centered on that fuzzy star:\nOn the left is the short wavelength image (in this case, 8 microns) and on the right is the 24 micron image (actually, they are composites of several wavelengths, but the longest wavelength in each is 8 and 24 microns, respectively). In the 8 micron image on the left, the nebulosity is easier to see, and reveals itself to be hourglass-shaped, pinched in the middle and flaring at the ends. Astronomers call this kind of nebula bipolar: the star is emitting gas from its poles in opposite directions. This is a dead giveaway that we're looking at a very young star, only a few million years or so old. Rapid spin, strong magnetic fields and other forces are what focus that gas outflow, and the process itself will eventually slow the star's spin like a parachute slows a skydiver. After a few dozen million years the flow will shut down, and the star will look a lot like the Sun.\nSo it's not just looking in infrared that lets us peek into the cradle (to completely mix all metaphors), but it's looking in different flavors of infrared that really lets us understand what's going on. Because of telescopes like Hubble, Chandra, Spitzer, and ground based behemoths like Gemini, Keck, and the VLT -- and a lot of smart people, hard work, and scientific progress -- we now understand a fair bit about how stars are born. It's an ongoing process of creation, it's incredibly beautiful, and we understand it. How cool is that?",

        "raw_content": "How to Make It as a Filmmaker Outside New York and Los Angeles\nThe director of A Chef's Life shares her recipe for cinematic success.\nBy Cynthia Hill | May 15, 2018\nEmmy Award-winning filmmaker Cynthia Hill lives and works in North Carolina. Hill\u2019s company, Markay Media, which has produced award-winning documentary films and television work, is based in Durham. Hill and chef Vivian Howard recently took home an Emmy for outstanding culinary program for A Chef\u2019s Life, the docu-series they co-created which airs on PBS to an audience of 4 million viewers per episode. Hill previously won an Emmy for directing the show, which has recently concluded its fifth season. She also directed the Emmy-nominated HBO documentary Private Violence, and an eight-part series on NASCAR called Road to Race Day for Complex Networks. (Picture by Jeremy Lange.)\nDespite my aspirations of being a filmmaker, I made in my twenties what most people would consider a bad career choice: I left New York City.\nMy reasons for leaving were both personal and professional. My marriage had ended, my mother had died, and I needed to live some place where I could pay my own bills. New York was not that place.\nI also needed to be closer to the small town where I grew up in the eastern part of North Carolina, to put the finishing touches on my first film. Its subject was tobacco farmers and the difficult moral and economic divide the industry\u2019s decline had created in rural areas like my hometown.\nIn 2002, I landed in Durham, a few hours shy of Pink Hill, where I grew up. The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and Duke University\u2019s Center for Documentary Studies, amongst the few film institutions in the South (and the only ones in North Carolina at the time), were based there, and that made \u201cThe Bull City\u201d attractive to me. Since establishing roots here, I\u2019ve learned some valuable lessons about how to operate outside the country\u2019s main filmmaking hubs.\nTell stories wherever you find yourself. Going home to North Carolina made it easier for me to find stories to tell. Because of my personal relationship to the land and the people of eastern North Carolina, I was better equipped to finish my first film, Tobacco Money Feeds My Family. I spoke their language and sympathized with their economic and emotional struggles. I cherished having such an intimate connection with my film\u2019s subjects. It led me to other projects with which I had a deep connection \u2014 the PBS show A Chef\u2019s Life, and the NASCAR series Road to Race Day, which aired on Complex Network\u2019s go90.com.\nBeing a filmmaker where you have roots gives you access to stories that are local with a capital \u201cL\u201d \u2014 stories with wide appeal that you have the connections and the passion to tackle. You can access the beauty and the meaningfulness in stories that an outsider may not necessarily see. A prodigal child\u2019s return to the place you were raised is also a plus when telling homegrown stories. Both Vivian Howard \u2013 the host and co-creator of A Chef\u2019s Life \u2013 and I left North Carolina and then came back. It has helped us to see things that are familiar with a different, nuanced lens and, most importantly, to have a deeper appreciation for sharing narratives that are native to us.\nChoose the right day job. I followed a strange path to filmmaking. I went to pharmacy school first. I was able to support myself as a pharmacist when I returned to North Carolina, which was both positive and negative. It gave me a lot of financial security, which allowed me to explore and experiment as a filmmaker. But I spent a lot of time as a pharmacist when maybe I should have been working more as a filmmaker. I also have two children, and have bought and renovated properties, including the building where my company, Markay Media, is housed. In some ways, I built a life that allows me the financial security to make the films I want to make. The reality is, you may not be able to pay your bills from filmmaking at first. This is true whether you\u2019re based in a major city or an isolated rural town.\nOne thing I did learn: it helped having a day job that was not related to filmmaking. Those few times I did video jobs on the side, it took energy away from my own projects. When I\u2019m wearing my pharmacist hat, it doesn\u2019t tax the same part of my brain, so I still have the energy and the desire to work on my films. The bottom line is, sometimes you have to do what you have to do in order to do what you want to do.\nWork hard to make connections elsewhere. That is one of the downsides of living outside of N.Y.C. and L.A. You have to work harder to make professional connections. You have to go to events, seminars and film festivals to meet people who can help you professionally. When you go to those cities, you have to network. I\u2019m still not that graceful when it comes to inserting myself into cocktail party conversations. But having several successful films and TV shows under my belt has given me the courage to ask for meetings with film execs in advance of visiting major cities.\nThat brings me to the other part of the equation: Once you schedule the meeting, you must have something to show these people, so do your work. If you are serious about being a filmmaker, you can make films on your own. It\u2019s not expensive to get a little camera and some basic audio gear. If that\u2019s what you want to do, you need to do it. Simply put, the more you make films, the better you are going to be \u2014 and the more work you have to show.\nChef Vivian Howard with Cynthia Hill\nTake advantage of the connections you have at home. Sometimes, especially in smaller towns, it\u2019s hard to see the connections that are right in front of you. If you don\u2019t see the relationships you already have as an advantage, look closer. Case in point: the opening music for A Chef\u2019s Life is part of a song by the Avett Brothers, who are from North Carolina. I had spent months looking for a song that might work. When I heard the lyrics, \u201cWhy can\u2019t you see yourself as beautiful as I see you,\u201d I had an \u201caha\u201d moment. It said exactly what we were trying to do \u2014 show the beauty in something that most folks didn\u2019t even see. I happened to know someone at the band\u2019s label. He sent them a note and within 24 hours we got a note back saying, \u201cWe think that will work.\u201d We negotiated a nominal fee for the rights to use the song. We ended up building a really cool relationship with the band and they\u2019ve appeared in a few episodes of the show.\nThinking about who you know and reaching out to them can result in rewards you didn\u2019t imagine. You may think something isn\u2019t going to work out, and the truth is, it may not. But it\u2019s certainly not going to happen if you don\u2019t ask. Then you start realizing there are all kinds of resources in your community. Moral of the story: Don\u2019t see the lack of resources where you are, see the opportunities in the resources around you.\nBuild up the community where you live. When I moved back to North Carolina and Durham, it felt like there was some foundation for a filmmaking community, but I discovered that there was only really a community if you were in school at Duke or had a documentary to screen at Full Frame. Fortunately, only some very basic things were missing. Amongst them was a fiscal sponsor who could give filmmakers the ability to raise money from nonprofit organizations. A few other filmmakers and I decided it was worth our time and energy to create something that could serve us and the greater documentary filmmaking community we were trying to develop. That was the genesis of the Southern Documentary Fund. We used other film organizations, such as Women Make Movies, as models to learn how to create a nonprofit. We were green, but we were also stubborn. For the first five years, I was pretty much the operations person. I kept the books, wrote the checks, and all that kind of stuff, until we could afford to hire an executive director.\nIn 2017, the Southern Documentary Fund was awarded a $900,000 multi-year grant from the MacArthur Foundation, funding that will help sustain the organization for a long time. It\u2019s amazing to see something you had a vision for turn into something greater than you thought it could be. It also really validates this whole notion that, if you\u2019re able to find people willing to invest their resources and talents in building a creative community where you are, you do not have to be in New York or Los Angeles to be successful. Get out there and make your film.

TCC is joining Him in this task because we desire to see Christ treasured in the hearts and modeled in the lives of all people. It is in this context that TCC holds to the following convictions:\nWe believe we are called to minister to both reached and unreached peoples. This ministry should include evangelizing, church-planting, teaching, discipling and assisting people in both of these groups.\nWe believe in God making all things new. His renewing work results in redemption of more than just the soul, encompassing all areas of life and culture. He calls his people to lay down their lives and to holistically follow Jesus.\nWe believe the church is missional and that, just as the gospel is needed and should be delivered to remote countries, it is also necessary in our homes and across the street.\nA Mission Experience\nA TCC missionary talks about her experience in this video.\nMissionaries Supported By TCC\nDawn Shoemaker\nHaving grown up the daughter of missionary parents in Haiti, Dawn Shoemaker has returned to Haiti as a member of Reciprocal Ministries International (RMI). The work of RMI places great emphasis on evangelism and church planting in unreached areas but also includes efforts in discipleship, social compassion, education, and community development. A unique aspect of RMI is its history of enabling churches in the USA to personally partner with them in the actual performance of various aspects of their work.\nWeb site: http://www.actingonfaith.org/\nRoss and Aislinn Meyer\nTampa Covenant Church was the home church for Ross and Aislinn Meyer as they were growing up and, upon their graduation from Covenant College, the site of their wedding.

        "raw_content": "Elevate Your Online Gaming with the Right Gaming PC\nIt seems like every new game that comes out creates a new standard in the gaming industry with clearer images, complex worlds, faster speeds, and more action than their predecessors. What you may not think about, in your heightened excitement, is that these new improved games also have new requirements for the computer that operates them. Without the right components and power, your new game can be sluggish and you may not even be able to open specific features.\nImprove the PC You Have\nIf you have an older computer and you want to be able to play the latest World of Warcraft or Call of Duty, you might want to think about investing in some upgrades. Some people think that a few simple tweaks to your computer will do the trick but this is not necessarily true. For example, you can try closing any other programs or applications that are running (which you should do anyway), but realistically, this will only add a slight improvement to the game\u2019s functionality.\nAnother suggestion you might receive is to overclock your computer\u2019s central processing unit (CPU). This is shown to help with older computers but you want to be careful when utilizing overclocking. If you are a serious PC gamer you probably already know how to increase the CPU frequency (mhz) by accessing your computer\u2019s bios. If you are a part-time gamer, you can access your computer\u2019s bios usually by hitting DEL, F2, F10, or F1 when you first start up the computer. This should bring up a blue screen with a long list of options for your computer\u2019s hardware. However, it is important to keep in mind that overclocking does cause your computer to run faster, which means that it also generates more heat inside the tower. In order to avoid any damage to your hardware, you will want to make sure that you have a sufficient cooling system and you will probably need to purchase one to install on your PC.\nThe best way to improve an old PC is by investing in some new hardware. Graphics cards, RAM upgrades, and video card drivers can provide some help, depending on the game(s) that you play and what your computer already has inside it. You might need to do some experimenting to see what does and does not work for your system.\nFor more advice, from life hacker click here\nBuy a Gaming PC\nProbably the best way to ensure that your computer has the right components to support the latest games is to purchase a new and updated gaming PC. Just about any kind of new computer can be used as a gaming PC: all in one computers, mini-towers, large towers, and even some laptops. When choosing your new game PC, think about what you want to do with it. Do you just want it to sit in a stationary place or are you intending to take it to other locations in order to play with your gaming friends? This should influence the design that you choose for your PC.\nIn addition,avoid purchasing computers that just meet the minimum requirements of your games\u2014these computers will surely need to be updated or replaced sooner than you think and you will not be able to get the full benefits of your games out of them. Quad core and six core processors are your best choice as they can handle the higher developed graphics of the latest games. You should also make sure that your RAM is at least 4GB and that you have a high level graphics card. This may add some serious cash to your overall price but it will be worth the investment.

This means that you should be prepared to purchase upgraded parts for your computer or invest in a PC with the power to create the ultimate gaming experience.\nBrian Jensen works for Dell and has a passion for learning and writing about all things technology.

After all, you\u2019ll want to take them to the park and the groomers. The only problem is the fact that a lot of dogs like misbehaving when they\u2019re in the vehicle. They refuse to sit still and that can create a hazard in your car. Thankfully, you can rectify this problem by investing in the best dog car harness. With a good car harness, you\u2019ll be able to keep your dog safe and you won\u2019t have to worry about being distracted.

What is the importance? What are the perks? The truth of the matter is that a dog car safety harness could save your life. It could also go a long way towards protecting your dog! Below, you\u2019ll learn more about the importance of using a dog travel harness.\nProtects You And Your Dog\nFirst and foremost, you should take the time to consider the repercussions of a vehicle accident. What is going to happen if your dog is not locked in place with the dog seat belt? When the accident occurs, there is a pretty good chance that your dog is going to go flying. They might slam into the front or back windshield. That could turn into a complete disaster. At the same time, there is a risk that your dog is going to go flying into you. If that happens, you could get seriously harm. With this in mind, you need to ensure that your dog is secured in place at all times.\nThis will reduce the risk of injury during an accident. Remember that your dog\u2019s harness is just like your seatbelt. You wouldn\u2019t drive without a seatbelt and you shouldn\u2019t let your dog ride along without a good safety harness.\nDogs have a mind of their own. This is undeniable. With this in mind, you need to understand that your dog could easily roam in the automobile. They do not understand the risks involved and they may not care. If you do not have your dog locked down, there is a good chance that they\u2019re going to roam in front of you and cause a distraction. That could result in a serious automobile accident. With the best dog car restraint, you\u2019ll be able to prevent distractions. In return, that is going to decrease your risks when behind the wheel.\nWhat Features To Consider Before Purchasing A Dog Car Harness\nBesides looking at dog car seat harness reviews, there are other things you need to consider when attempting to buy one of these products. What factors tend to be more important than the others? You\u2019ll find out below.\nFirst and foremost, you have to consider the size of the harness. Is it actually big enough to accommodate your dog? Will the harness keep your dog strapped in place at times? Or, is it simply too big? Try to find a harness that gives your dog a little room, but not too much. Otherwise, your dog is going to roam around the car even when they\u2019re wearing their harness.\nIs It Crash Tested?\nAnother thing to remember is that dog harnesses are very similar to seat belts. When you buy a seat belt, you can almost guarantee that it has been crash tested. This is vitally important. You should never buy a seatbelt that has not been crash tested and you should treat a dog harness the same way. Find out if the harness has been tested and take a close look at the results. This information can help you determine whether or not the restraint is actually going to protect your dog in the event of an accident.\nIs The Seatbelt Tether Included?\nWhen looking for the best dog car restraint, you need to make sure that you have a seatbelt tether. This is far more important than you could ever imagine. Most restraints are going to connect to the seatbelt. This gives them more control over the dog\u2019s movements and can really provide them with more protection during the event of an accident. Suffice to say, you need a harness that comes with the tether. If it does not, you may have to buy it separately and that will increase the price significantly. Get both in a convenient package and you\u2019ll save yourself a headache and some money along the way.\nHow Easy Is It To Adjust?\nAnother thing to note is that the best dog car harness will most likely be adjustable. You\u2019ll definitely want to adjust the harness to ensure that it is going to fit around your dog perfectly. Otherwise, there might be too much play and that can create problems for you and your pooch. With that fully understood, you need to choose a harness that is actually easy to adjust. It shouldn\u2019t take more than a minute to get the harness adjusted correctly. If it is too tough, you might become frustrated with the harness to the point that you no longer use it.\nYou also need to realize that some car harnesses can be used for dual purposes. You may actually be able to unhook the harness from the automobile and utilize it outside of the car. This is definitely a big plus. It is not a necessity, but it will definitely help increase the overall value of the harness. This is definitely something that you\u2019ll want to take into consideration when attempting to buy a harness for your dog.\nAt the end of the day, you want to make sure that your dog\u2019s seat belt is going to last. Therefore, you need to make sure that you get the highest quality one you can find. Otherwise, there is a risk that your dog is going to tear it to pieces. Or, their movement might cause the harness to shred and rip. Make sure that the harness is very solid with wide straps. This combination will help ensure that the harness is going to last for many years to come!\nDog Car Harness Reviews\nRUFFWEAR Vehicle Restraint\nWhile it might be expensive, there is a pretty good chance that the RUFFWEAR Harness is the best out there. If you do not mind spending a little more, you\u2019ll definitely want to consider buying this one for your dog. It works exceptionally well and the quality is out of this world.

If you want a harness that is going to protect you and your dog to the fullest, you cannot lose with this one.\nFinally, you should know that this harness is built to last. It is made with the best materials. Plus, the hardware is completely metal. No matter what is thrown its way, you can guarantee that this harness will be able to stand up to the abuse. It will not let you down in the long run.\nThere is definitely a lot to like about the RUFFWEAR Harness. It works exceptionally well and it is definitely going to withstand the test of time.

Despite its low cost, it is still one of the best dog car harnesses out there. It is definitely going to go above and beyond to keep your dog safe in the automobile.

Just make sure that you take careful measurements ahead of time and you\u2019ll get it right.\nWhen you buy a good dog car restraint, you\u2019ll want to make sure that your investment is protected. Many companies offer very little protection to the consumer. Well, this company does. With this particular harness, you\u2019re going to be protected by a lifetime warranty and that will make a big difference. If you\u2019re worried that something could go wrong, you shouldn\u2019t be. With the lifetime warranty, you can rest assured knowing that the company will fix any problems that may occur.\nTether Included\nYou should also know that this harness comes with the seatbelt tether. This is very beneficial and ensures that you won\u2019t have to buy anything else in the near future. When you buy the Kurgo Harness, you\u2019re going to get everything that you need to keep your dog safe in the automobile.\nThe thinness of the straps is definitely concerning. Does this mean that the harness will tear up very easily? This is something that you must consider before making your final decision.\nComes with the seatbelt tether\nYou\u2019re protected by a lifetime warranty\nEasily adjustable for added comfort\nStraps are a tad bit thin\nSolvit PetSafe Car Safety Harness\nSome dog harnesses are overly expensive.

It might not be compatible with tiny dogs, but it should work with pretty much every other dog out there.\nThe Solvit PetSafe Dog Harness is not perfect by any means. If there was a way to adjust it more, it would be much better. Otherwise, it is still worth the low price.\nStress tested to 3,000 plus pounds\nComes with a leash attachment\nSupport is always a phone call away\nMore sizes would be nice\nAdjustment options aren\u2019t great\nMighty Paw Vehicle Safety Harness\nThe Mighty Paw Safety Harness is a moderately priced solution to your problem. It is available in four sizes and that should be sufficient for most consumers. There is no extra-small size so you might have to look elsewhere if you have a very tiny dog. Otherwise, the four available sizes should be enough for you. One unique thing about this harness is the reflective stitching.

        "raw_content": "What Are Humanitarian Projects?\nMax Quigley\nA humanitarian project provides material or logistical assistance to a group of people or a country in need of aid. Projects vary among those necessitated by man-made disasters, natural disasters, poverty and aid development. As such, the focus of each project differs. There are many humanitarian organizations such as the World Food Programme that works towards providing food for communities most in need.\nHumanitarian projects often focus on poverty-stricken areas. These areas will have been in poverty for a long time and the living conditions and quality of life will typically be very low. Some of the most poverty-stricken areas in the world are located in Africa, in countries such as Liberia, Somalia, Sudan and Angola. Other poverty-stricken areas include Latin American countries such as El Salvador and Nicaragua and a number of Asian countries. Humanitarian projects to these parts of the world usually send aid such as money, farming tools, medicine and building materials.\nHumanitarian projects exist in areas that have experienced natural disasters such as the 2011 earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand, the tsunami in South East Asia and a series of earthquakes in Pakistan. Humanitarian groups send building supplies and food as well as medical equipment since these are the most important and immediate necessities for people in a disaster zone.\nWhat Did the USSR Do to Promote Communism in the Cold War?\nProblems Associated With High Population Growth\nPositive and Negative Effects of an Urban Development\nWhat Are the Pros & Cons of Urban Development?\nMan-made disasters include crime, terrorism, war and civil disorder. Humanitarian aid is sent to these areas in different forms. For example, social workers are usually sent to areas of crime to try to encourage people away from a life of drugs, crime or gang life. Soldiers or police staff will typically be sent into areas of civil disorder and will bring with them supplies for people adversely affected by the civil disorder. New Orleans is an example of an area of civil disorder after hurricane Katrina. War zones are difficult for humanitarian agencies to access due to the high level of danger. Usually aid is sent with, or is often accompanied by a branch of the military such as the army, coast guard or national guard.\nIn developing countries, humanitarian aid is often sent to help boost the economy and aid development further. For example, India received much development aid from other countries and it now has one of the world's largest economies. Brazil and the Republic of Ireland are other examples of countries that received development aid and had a large economic growth as a result. This is usually governmental aid as opposed to humanitarian charity groups as the volume of money needed to boost a country's economy is generally too big for any organization to manage on their own.\nAlnap: Home\nThe Humanitarian Project: Mission Statement\nHumanitarian Projects: Volunteer Projects\nWorld Food Programme: About\nRelief Web: Home\nMax Quigley started writing professionally in 2007.

(Samira Bouaou/Epoch Times)\nAffirming the Art in Architecture\nRichard Cameron shares his journey towards classicism\nNEW YORK\u2014When Richard Cameron shows up at a meeting with a portfolio full of handmade drawings, people are almost flabbergasted. The drawings almost take on a magical quality in a world dominated by pixilated images and mass production.\n\u201cOne of the terrible problems of architecture now is that it is a profession without its core\u2014which is an artistic practice, first and foremost. If architecture is not an art, it is nothing,\u201d Cameron said in his architectural design firm, Atelier & Co. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.\nCameron co-founded Atelier & Co. with Jason Grimes in 2009 intending to bring artistry back into architecture. They collaborate with architects and artisans to work on a range of projects, from residential to commercial buildings, as well as interiors and preservation projects, like their proposal to restore the original Penn Station designed by Charles McKim.\nDrawings from the Atelier & Co. architectural design firm in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Jan. 19, 2017. (Samira Bouaou/Epoch Times)\nAtelier & Co., architectural design firm in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Jan. 19, 2017. (Samira Bouaou/Epoch Times)\nThe Grand Gateway in Waiting: Envisioning the New-Old Penn Station\nLooking at any of Atelier & Co.\u2019s drawings immediately awakens one\u2019s imagination. Cameron explained that drawing and painting by hand is the most intimate way to convey a designed space that is yet to become tangible. Each creative consideration can be illustrated in detail. Inevitably Atelier & Co. does use computer-aided design programs (CAD), but only as a tool in service of their handmade drawings.\nInoculated From a Modernist Dogma\n\u201cThe things that endure had an artistic intent and an artistic value to them because architects where always trained as fine artists,\u201d Cameron said, as he explained why classical architecture is timeless.\nCameron reached that understanding in a circumvented way. The education he received at the University of Toronto was diametrically opposite to what he\u2019s doing now. He has since taught himself draftsmanship and drawing techniques of the 19th century Beaux-Arts School.\nAs a child he was exposed to plenty of beautiful architecture when his family lived in various parts of Europe: Oxford, England; Budapest, Hungary; and in France. He knew he wanted to become an architect and enjoyed buildings with tradition, but said, \u201cYou are taught a kind of ideology that no one ever does that anymore.\u201d\nCover of the first edition of The Classicist journal of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. (Courtesy of Richard Cameron)\nRichard Cameron\u2019s desk at Atelier & Co. architectural design firm in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Jan. 19, 2017. (Samira Bouaou/Epoch Times)\nRichard Cameron shows one of the books in the library of Atelier & Co. architectural design firm in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Jan. 19, 2017. (Samira Bouaou/Epoch Times)\nHe recalled how the Chair of the Architecture School at the University of Toronto, Peter Prangnell, gave a slide-show presentation to all of the students\u2014\u201da kind of indoctrination talk,\u201d he called it.\nCameron recalled Prangnell praising modernist iconic buildings like those by Le Corbusier. \u201cAt one point he put up a sequence of shots of the main axis of Versailles, which I remember very vividly experiencing as a child. And his line to accompany this was, \u2018Have you ever seen anything more boring and predictable than that.\u2019 And I remember thinking, \u2018No, that\u2019s not right, that\u2019s one of the most astonishing and dramatic moments in architecture that I have ever experienced,\u201d Cameron said.\nThen he recalled Prangnell showing a picture of Chatsworth House. \u201cThis was the dramatic moment of the talk, it was like we were taking the pledge of allegiance, and he said, \u2018I want you all, every one of you in this room to promise me, you will never, ever do anything that looks remotely like this,\u2019 but I remember thinking, \u2018No, I\u2019m not going to promise that, are you kidding?! This is Chatsworth House. It\u2019s amazing; it\u2019s one of the great Baroque masterpieces of the world!\u201d Cameron said.\nThat education was like \u201ca communist or totalitarian mind control program,\u201d he said. Later the school changed, but he realized at that time (around 1981) it was a more extreme version of what most architecture schools are still fundamentally about today. The students experienced so much stress that some \u201cwould literally check out and end up in the psych ward. It was really bad, and we weren\u2019t learning any professional skills at all. There were people who graduated from the program, who really became indoctrinated and still talk like that,\u201d Cameron said.\nHis childhood memories of beautiful architecture in Europe had in effect protected him from such indoctrination. He was also fortunate to meet his main teacher, mentor, and friend, Michael Djordjevitch who taught him all things classical, and who also works with him at Atelier & Co.\nAtelier & Co. often gets involved in the initial stages of a project, in helping people envision how it can be done. That\u2019s partly why the Rebuild Penn Station project is a natural fit.\nRendering design for a restored Penn Station by Atelier and Co. (Atelier & Co.)\nIn his proposal for rebuilding the original Penn Station, Cameron quoted Henry Hope Reed, \u201cThe classical is at once retrospective and ever new. The backward glance transforms and regenerates. Every generation of classical architecture has its own vision of perfection and its own Golden City.\u201d\nAtelier & Co. is inspired to approach truth through beauty. Cameron explained, \u201cWhen you find something beautiful, you love it. \u2026 So when you create ugly antagonistic buildings, for instance, you kill love. People may think ugly [contemporary] buildings are interesting, unusual, off-putting, edgy, or whatever else they are, but those buildings are ultimately producing anxiety.\u201d\n\u201cI think the majority of people will revert back to the affection for traditional things because those are actually based on thousands of thousands of years of human experimentation in the world of aesthetics,\u201d Cameron said.\nRichard Cameron, co-founder of Atelier & Co. architectural design firm in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Jan. 19, 2017.

(Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)\nWhy the Lakers Can\u2019t Attract Anyone to Hollywood\nHeading into the offseason the Los Angeles Lakers were sitting pretty.\nNot only did they have the second pick in the draft, but also Los Angeles was sitting on an abundance of cap space (they\u2019re more than $30 million below the cap) and had the financial means to offer a max deal to any free agent.\nAdding a star through the draft and at least one through free agency should have been the minimum for the team\u2019s offseason\u2014and after getting future star D\u2019Angelo Russell in the draft, the free agency part seemed like a slam dunk.\nAfter all, they seemed to have a lot to sell.\nArguably, the Lakers are the NBA\u2019s premier franchise with 16 championships (only Boston has more with 17), 31 conference titles, numerous Hall-of-Famers, and a fan base with more A-list celebrities than the rest of the league combined. This is the same franchise that convinced Shaquille O\u2019Neal to leave Orlando in 1996.\nNBA\u2019s Top Five Most Significant Free Agent Signings\nBut beneath the surface, there are clearly some red flags being put out.\nFor one thing, there\u2019s the problem of the ownership. Former owner Jerry Buss presided over 10 of the Lakers\u2019 championships but since his son Jim took over following his death in 2013, LA has had their worst two seasons since 1958.\nUnder the younger Buss\u2019s watch, the team passed over hiring 11-time NBA champion Phil Jackson for Mike D\u2019Antoni early in the 2012-13 season. D\u2019Antoni was gone after less than two seasons with the purple and gold.\nJim Buss then had to watch franchise center Dwight Howard bolt for Houston that summer and much-coveted power forward Pau Gasol leave for Chicago in 2014.\nMeanwhile, the team re-signed Kobe Bryant to a two-year, $48.5 million contract (through the 2015-16 season) ensuring that this is still his team\u2014for better or for worse.\nKevin Love\u2019s $110-Million Re-Sign Validates the Wiggins Trade\nBut Bryant, not known for his passing or general friendliness, was rumored to be a big reason why Howard bolted Hollywood in the first place.\nIronically, it was the summer Bryant first came to Los Angeles (1996) that the Lakers were hoping to re-create this offseason.\nFive years after Magic Johnson\u2019s abrupt retirement had left the Lakers as a suddenly-average team, the Lakers rolled the dice on a trade that sent Vlade Divac to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for the 13th pick in the draft that summer\u2014amazing Bryant was there for the taking.\nMeanwhile, they gave O\u2019Neal a seven-year, $121 million deal in free agency to come to LA and suddenly the Lakers had a pair of stars that were the foundation for a trio of titles from 2000-02.\nThe Cavs gave up a lot, including future star Andrew Wiggins, in the trade for Kevin Love last summer. Here's how his re-signing validates the deal.\nBag of Air from Kobe Bryant\u2019s Final Career Game Reaches $15,000 on eBay\nEvidently, people will buy anything to have a piece of Kobe Bryant's final game.\nVideo: Kobe Bryant Career Highlights, Photos, Stats From 20-Year Run With Lakers\nIn storybook fashion, 37-year-old Kobe Bryant closed out the final game of his 20-year career with a whopping 60 points on April 13\u2014setting a record for the ...\nTony Allen: Kobe Bryant Gifts Grizzlies Guard Shoes With Note Reading \u2018Best Defender I Ever Faced\u2019\nKobe shows respect for Allen.\nReport: Lakers Inquired About Trading Kobe Bryant for LeBron James in 2007\nThat would have the blockbuster of all trades.\nKobe Bryant\u2019s 7 Greatest Moments\nLakers great Kobe Bryant is retiring at the end of the season, ending a remarkable, Hall-of-Fame career.\nWatch: Kobe Bryant Done for Preseason; Highlights from All Games\nLos Angeles Superstar Kobe Bryant is officially done for the preseason as the team plans to rest him for the final two preseason games.

        "title": "Gun violence prevention campaign targets Iowa | The Gazette",
        "raw_content": "Gun violence prevention campaign targets Iowa\n(File photo)The Iowa State Capitol building in Des Moines, photographed on Tuesday, June 10, 2014. (Liz Martin/The Gazette)\nCEDAR RAPIDS \u2014 A gun violence prevention group is launching a digital campaign encouraging Iowans to tell legislators to oppose a constitutional amendment it believes would weaken state gun safety laws.\nGiffords, the gun violence prevention group founded by former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Capt. Mark Kelly, launched a digital campaign urging Iowans to stand against the proposal by pointing out to their legislators how this puts Iowa\u2019s gun laws at risk.\nAccording to gun rights supporters in the Iowa Legislature, the proposed amendment simply would add the right to bear arms in the U.S. Constitution\u2019s Second Amendment to the Iowa Constitution. It would say: \u201cThe right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The sovereign state of Iowa affirms and recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right. Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.\u201d\nIn its 30-second online ad, https://youtu.be/duExsXouC8Y Giffords doesn\u2019t address that language. Instead, Nico Bocour, Giffords\u2019 state legislative director, said the intention is to inform and educate voters that legislators are trying to pass \u201ca really dangerous amendment that would undermine Iowa gun laws, make it incredibly difficult and prohibitive to pass new gun laws in the future and we think really goes against what the Iowa public wants.\u201d\nGiffords warns that even background checks intended to keep guns out of the hands of felons and domestic abusers could be challenged if the amendment is adopted.\nPolling has shown Iowans support background checks, added Charlotte Eby, a lobbyist who represents Giffords at the Iowa Statehouse.\n\u201cThis measure could put those in peril and make it easier for a court challenge of smart gun laws\u201d because of the \u201cstrict scrutiny\u201d language, she said.\nGiffords calls that a \u201cdangerous and radical policy that would constrain the discretion of Iowa\u2019s legislature to regulate guns and force state judges to apply a legal standard under which laws evaluated are more frequently struck down.\u201d\nIowa lawmakers have approved the amendment twice, as required by law, and the next step was for it to be put on the ballot for voters to approve or reject. But because of an error, it was not published before the November election. Lawmakers will have to restart the process of amending the constitution. That means it won\u2019t be on the ballot before 2022.\n\u201cThe amendment has been a priority for over a decade now,\u201d according to Rep. Matt Windschitl, R-Missouri Valley, who led the effort to get the amendment on the ballot. \u201cI believe this is a priority for Iowans. We will continue to do what is right, by Iowans, in giving them the opportunity to have this on the ballot and have their voices heard.\u201d\nBocour acknowledged that the fact the language has been approved may make it more difficult to stop lawmakers from putting it on the ballot, but it also gives advocates for gun safety legislation another opportunity.\nGiffords thinks the tide of public opinion is turning. Sixty-seven gun laws were adopted by 26 states and Washington, D.C., last year. She also pointed to NBC exit polling last year that found among Democrats, gun policies ranked as the second most important issue, behind health care and ahead of the economy. Guns were the fourth issue on voters\u2019 minds regardless of party.\n\u201cSo the movement and momentum on this issue has been going toward gun safety,\u201d Bocour said. \u201cWe saw the gun lobby\u2019s efforts to pass these extreme and dangerous laws fail in states across the country.\u201d\nThe November election showed the public is prioritizing gun safety legislation as one of their top voting issues, she said. Several candidates who back \u201csmart\u201d gun legislation were elected by voters \u201cturning out to make their voices heard on this issue.\u201d\nUnfortunately, she added, \u201cit does seem that Iowa lawmakers have been listening more to the gun lobby than people who elected them.\u201d\n\u201cWe\u2019re hoping that with this additional information \u2026 lawmakers will hear those calls and understand that tide really has turned,\u201d she said.",

Photograph: Alejandro Bolivar/EPA-EFE\nHern\u00e1n Dar\u00edo G\u00f3mez said there was a moment of \u201cfright\u201d followed swiftly by \u201cpride\u201d when the draw for Russia pitched his Panama team against England. The manager insisted that, if his side were able to win a game at their first World Cup this summer, the celebrations would be as big as when they qualified with an 88th-minute winner against Costa Rica and the country\u2019s president, Juan Carlos Varela, declared a national holiday.\n\u201cWe\u2019re a very young football country, in terms of our history, the league, and I think we got there quicker than we expected: I thought it would take longer,\u201d G\u00f3mez said. \u201cPeople are very happy to be at the World Cup but, if we have a good tournament, we would celebrate it the same. To win a game would be lovely.\u201d\nPanama arrived in Europe for their penultimate get-together before their first appearance at the World Cup with their manager likening opponents Denmark and Switzerland to England and Belgium but admitting their preparation for these two friendlies has not been ideal. Some players made it to the team\u2019s hotel only on Wednesday afternoon and judgment may have to be reserved until the summer.\n\u201cWe have not been together since we qualified, apart from when we played Wales in November,\u201d G\u00f3mez said on the eve of facing Denmark at the Brondy Stadion. \u201cIt\u2019s a game that\u2019s very risky because, we have not been together for a long time now and if you don\u2019t repeat ideas, players don\u2019t remember them.\n\u201cWe have not had time to prepare, the opponent is strong and we\u2019re \u2018unarmed\u2019, so we hope that this does not hurt [us]. They could score a lot of goals. We\u2019ve had a [long] journey, few days, not much time, and anything can happen. [Defeat] won\u2019t affect us as a group because we look at it from the point of view of the play but the way the country lives football, it could affect the [people]. Physically, the players look good but we can\u2019t do any special work, we haven\u2019t had time. That will come in May.\u201d\nAsked if he had been paying close attention to Premier League games and had sent scouts to watch England, G\u00f3mez replied: \u201cThere\u2019s no need. We\u2019re all very modern now, we have all sorts of programmes, so we can see everything we need to see from Belgium, England and Tunisia.\u201d\nSince the groups came out, they know everything about us and we know everything about them. Information is easier [nowadays], nothing can be hidden. It\u2019s when the game comes that you see the reality.\u201d\nG\u00f3mez likened Denmark to England, describing them as useful practice for the game in Nizhny Novgorod. \u201cDenmark are a very good team and we want to play good teams for the World Cup,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is why we\u2019re coming to play these games.\n\u201cEuropean football is different to what we play in the Concacaf Cup, the Gold Cup and in qualifying. European teams almost all have the same style. They\u2019re strong, quick, dynamic and they have something that\u2019s very difficult for us: precision at speed, in one or two touches. Then they have individuals who make the difference. South American teams have individuals and technique too but in Europe it\u2019s faster and very practical.\u201d\nG\u00f3mez is heading into his fifth World Cup, with a third national team. He has not been at the tournament since 2002, when he led Ecuador.\n\u201cI\u2019m happy in Panama, the people show us affection: they love and respect the national team and what we have done. They wanted to see our shirt at the World Cup, hear our national anthem.\n\u201cThere\u2019s lots of love at the moment. I feel as if it was the first time. I feel happy and proud. I would say to the people: enjoy it, it\u2019s high tide, we have a lot to learn, have a good time and be happy.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Musician: Gruesome\nAlbum Title: Dimensions Of Horror\nGruesome sound and play death metal that is a love letter and tribute to the early sound of the fathers of the genre, Death. They made their debut in 2015 with Savage Land. They're back this year with the what is one of the best EPs I have heard thus far in 2016.\nThey present that Death love right from the get go. The driving and pounding drums by Gus Rios make for a frontal attack you won't soon forget. They're accompanied by Robin Mazen's bass to give the album a thick and heavy sound, throughout. The guitars by Daniel Gonzalez and Matt Harvey (who also does the vocals) are alternately soaring and crunching. It's all played with a ferocity and technicality that old-school death metal fans will eat up. Harvey's aforementioned vocals are the right mix of anger, gruff, and growl, yet clear enough to get at least some of the gory images the band seems to love.\nThat love of gore, death, and horror imagery abound in the killer songs. The full force attack of \"Raped by Darkness\" is all about Sam Raimi's classic Evil Dead. Other standout tracks include the opener \"Forces of Death\", the title track \"Dimensions of Horror\" (the gory video, of which, you can see below) and the crunch and drive of \"Hellbound\". The finishing touches of old-school Death love is the fucking kick ass cover done by Ed Repka, who has worked on covers for not just just Death but Massacre, Atheist, and Megadeth, as well. By the way, do you realize that the zombie is reading from the Necronomicon?! Ash (Evil Dead hero) might need to find him and kick his ass!\nIf you love this type of music and long for the days like it, then Dimensions of Horror is for you. It will sedate your hunger for it. They only problem I can see is that you'll want more. Well, we'll just have to eagerly await their next full release for that now, won't we?\n* * * * out of * * * * *\nalbum reviews, Death, Death Metal, Ed Repka, Gore, Gruesome, music, Music reviews, music videos, Relapse Records, Videos Edit",

Oladipupo Adebutu, challenging the nomination of Senator Buruji Kashamu as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State for the March 2, 2019 governorship election.\nJustice Adepoju in dismissing the suit held that the plaintiff, who was nominated by the National Working Committee (NWC) of PDP for the governorship election, cannot maintain his suit against the defendants because the primary election that produced him was conducted in violation of a subsisting court judgment.\nDelivering judgment in the suit filed by Adebutu challenging the refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accept his candidacy, the judge held that the PDP National Working Committee acted in bad faith by disregarding a subsisting judgment of a Federal High Court to produce the candidate.\nThe court said that since PDP was a party in the judgment of the Honourable Justice Ibrahim Buba, the judgment of the court was binding on it and must be obeyed and respected so as to protect the sanctity of court in the interest of the rule of law.\nJustice Adepoju while stating that it was the National Working Committee of the party (PDP) that reserves the power to conduct primary election for nomination of candidates for the 2019 general election, however said that the National Working Committee must not do so in violation of any court judgment.\nJustice Adepoju held that the PDP National Working Committee cannot not hold valid primary election without a recourse to the Ogun State chapter of the party or outright approval of the party until the judgment against it by Justice Buba has been set aside by a higher court.\nJustice Adepoju said that Hon. Adebutu\u2019s case cannot be maintained to declare him a governorship candidate because the PDP National Working Committee which conducted the primary election that produced him as a candidate last year did so in violation of a judgment of a Federal High Court delivered by Justice Ibrahim Buba.\nThe judge said that she arrived at the conclusion because of the need for sanctity and judgments of courts to be protected by parties or individuals, adding that PDP did not do well by disobeying the judgment of Justice Buba with the way it conducted its primary election in Ogun State last year.\nJustice Adepoju said that although Adebutu was able to establish that his own primary election was conducted by the appropriate organ of PDP but that he was not entitled to be declared the candidate because of the circumstances that surrounded the conduct of the primary election in breach of a judgment that has not been set aside.\nAjoke Adepoju\nOladipupo Adebutu\nPrevious articleAtiku Group raises alarm over new Lagos CP\nNext articleAgbakoba: Buhari aware of Onnoghen\u2019s charges",

        "raw_content": "The firing of McLaren wasn't really a surprise other than the timing. I really thought it would come mid-road trip or just after. I really figured the bigger issues are keeping Sexson and Vidro on the team, not the man forced to pencil them into the daily lineup.\nWas McLaren the greatest tactical manager in baseball? No.\nDid he have the most managerial cache? No\nBut was he the sole problem for the Mariners issue? No.\nThis team's roster is flawed in terms of its construction, chemistry and overall scope. There is no vision for this team or its future and that cannot be blamed on McLaren.\n\"All managers are subject to the performance of the players,\" Pelekoudas said.\nApparently though the players, aren't subject to the performance of the players.\nTo be fair, McLaren was good man, a humble man and a man who waited a long time to get to this level in baseball. And now it's gone, largely because he put his trust and faith into a bunch of veterans that he lauded and built up all offseason. And they failed him spectacularly.\nPerhaps McLaren was far too optimistic. I think boasting that Richie Sexson would win comeback player of the year award is the perfect example. But he believed in his players, or at least he wanted to, and I'm not sure the same could be said for the rest of the people in that clubhouse, including the players themselves.\nSo now, he's gone and the Mariners move on with Jim Riggleman as the interim manager, Lee Elia moves to bench coach and Jose Castro is the hitting coach with Elia overseeing him.\n\"John worked extremely hard, but our team continued to underperform compared to our expectations of them,\" interim general manager Lee Pelekoudas said in a statement. \"With 90 games left on our schedule, we owe it to ourselves and our fans to do everything we can to win as many games as possible.\"\nOK, how about beyond those 90 games? If they are willing to do everything, then Sexson must be sent packing along with Vidro, who has an option for next year if he reaches a certain number of plate appearances.\nWill Riggleman make this team better? It's doubtful. He isn't a hard-ass like Larry Bowa, and he isn't a players' guy like McLaren. He's a middle of the road guy that's relatively quiet and believes in old school philosophies. But he could be Lou Piniella, Casey Stengal, Joe Torre, Tony LaRussa and Leo Durocher all rolled into one, and I don't think it would matter with this team.\nBasically Riggleman is keeping the seat warm for 90 games. The Mariners have to wait to hire a GM first and allow him to make his choice for manager. At least that seems logical, so maybe the Mariners won't do that.",

        "title": "BeyondSpring CEO Reveals Novel Tumor Therapy - TheStreet",
        "raw_content": "BeyondSpring CEO Reveals Novel Tumor Therapy\nThe company is working on regulatory approvals in the U.S. and China.\nNew York-based BeyondSpring develops oncology products with Plinabulin, a small molecule that attacks tumors and can activate the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor GEF-H1, which could play a role in managing a variety of diseases.\nResearch has found a wide array of related therapies.\nResearch has confirmed \"the roles of GEF-H1 in epithelial barrier permeability, cell motility and polarization, dendritic spine morphology, antigen presentation, leukemic cell differentiation, cell cycle regulation, and cancer,\" according to the National Health Institutes' NCBI.\n\"GEF-H1 might also contribute to pathophysiological signaling involved in leukemias, and in cancers associated with mutated p53 tumor suppressor gene, epithelial and endothelial cell dysfunction, infectious disease, and cardiac hypertrophy. We suggest that GEF-H1 could be a novel therapeutic target in multiple human diseases.\"\nThe p53 tumor suppressor gene may not always actually suppress tumors, but its manipulation remains a focus of medical research.\nBeyondSpring has Plinabulin in clinical trials for the treatment of conditions including neutropenia and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Pre-clinical trials are developing applications for metastatic brain tumor.\nNeutropenia is a condition involving an abnormally low count of neutrophils, which help fight off illnesses\u2014particularly those caused by bacteria.\nCo-founder, chairperson and CEO Lan Huang provided The Deal, the sister publication of TheStreet, with a look at Plinabulin and how testing drugs in China works in conjunction with the Food and Drug Administration.\nHuang previously co-founded Wuxi MTLH Biotechnology Co. Ltd., which was acquired by Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group in 2010, and Paramax International, which was acquired by RPS, then sold to Warburg Pincus in 2011.\nHuang and the company's CSO, CRO and CMO all have doctorates in scientific specialties, and the CMO has M.D. and M.B.A degrees as well. It's not a company managed purely by licensers.\n\"We are now venturing deep into immuno-oncology (I/O) combinations of Plinabulin,\" Huang told The Deal.\n\"There are more than 1,000 I/O combinations that aim to increase the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors\u2014but so far, no other combinations are also aimed at reducing checkpoint inhibitors' immune-related severe adverse effects (SAE), which could prevent patients from taking these agents.\nCheckpoint inhibitors are drugs that can help immune systems to respond to threats more efficiently\n\"Plinabulin is a unique agent with the potential to not only increase efficacy\u2014by activating dendritic cell maturation, which leads to T-cell activation\u2014but also to reduce immune-related SAEs by inhibiting PDE activities,\" Huang said.\n\"From our preliminary data, in 10 patients who received Plinabulin in combination with Nivolumab, none experienced immune-related SAEs. Now, we are implementing triple I/O combinations with Plinabulin to further evaluate Plinabulin's effects.\"\nNivolumab is a drug used to treat cancer under specific genetic conditions involving the B-Raf gene, which can cause cancer under some mutagenic conditions.\nThe company continues to work within both U.S. and China regulatory frameworks.\n\"We plan to conduct one global Phase 3 trial in the U.S. and China, as well as in other Western counties, and combine the data for a New Drug Application (NDA) filing in the U.S. and China,\" Huang said.\n\"We use the same protocol for each indication that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and China FDA (CFDA). We also use one global clinical CRO [Contract Research Organization] to enroll patients and a global central lab to ensure that all PK, efficacy and safety profiles of patients from all regions are similar so that the data can be combined for filing.\"\nBeyondSpring is working on two applications in both countries.\n\"With the recent reforms in the CFDA regulations, Plinabulin has the distinct privilege to be able to file for NDA in China for both Phase 3 indications\u2014chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) prevention and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment\u2014as early as late 2018 or early 2019, provided that the data shows a clinical efficacy trend. In the U.S., we are still on track to file for NDA for the CIN indication in 2019 and for the NSCLC indication in 2020.\"\nPlinabulin is distinct from the PD-1 antibody.\nPD-1, or programmed cell death protein 1, keeps the immune system in check but can sometimes limit responses to aggressive immune system threats.\n\"Using a car as an analogy for the I/O effects in the body, the PD-1 antibody releases the brakes on the car\u2014letting T-cells see cancer cells\u2014while Plinabulin adds 'fuel' into the car\u2014inducing dendritic cell maturation\u2014leading to downstream T-cell activation,\" Huang said.\n\"Thus, the two of them together can help to accelerate the car to run faster.\"\nBeyondSpring went public in March 2017 with a combined initial public offering and private-investment-in-public-equity offering.\nRegulationPIPESInvestingBiotechnologyHealthcareUnited StatesWeekly Roundup",

        "title": "Britain in the World: 1 Jun 2015: House of Commons debates - TheyWorkForYou",
        "raw_content": "Fifa \u2013 in the House of Commons at 3:05 pm on 1st June 2015.\nAll Commons debates on 1 Jun 2015\nPhilip Hammond Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 3:05 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a privilege to open this debate on Britain\u2019s role in the world. It sends a powerful signal that Parliament is focused on this important area so early in its term.\nI apologise in advance to you, Mr Speaker, and to the House, for the fact that I will not be in the Chamber for tonight\u2019s winding-up speeches as I have to represent the UK at an ISIL coalition core group meeting in Paris. I am grateful to you, Mr Speaker, and to Hilary Benn for your understanding. I also congratulate the right hon. Gentleman on his appointment as shadow Foreign Secretary and look forward to a constructive working relationship with him while he is in post.\nThe UK is one of only a small number of countries with both the aspiration and the means to play a significant role in world affairs. Maintaining that engagement is very much in our national interest. As one of the most open economies in the world\u2014a nation that earns its living through trade in goods and services across the global commons\u2014we have a greater stake than most in securing: a world that operates according to a rules-based system of conduct in which international norms are respected, differences are resolved through the application of legal principles and the zero-sum game approach is rejected in favour of a recognition of mutual benefit through international co-operation; a world in which the majority of nations work together with a common agenda and resolve to isolate rogue states and suppress terrorists and others who threaten the rule of law; and a rules-based international order that is in Britain\u2019s interest but is also in the interest of building stability, security and prosperity for the world\u2019s population as a whole. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and a leading member of the EU and NATO, as well as the G7, the G20 and the Commonwealth, Britain is in a better position to help deliver that ambition than most.\nSadly, as we look around us today, we see that we are far from that vision of the world. In Europe, where we thought the rules-based system was well established, we face the challenge of a Russia riding roughshod over it by illegally violating Ukrainian sovereignty. The middle east and north Africa are threatened by a violent Islamist extremism that by its actions has shown itself the enemy of every reasonable vision for civilisation and a travesty of the values of the religion it purports to defend. In the south and East China sea we see China asserting territorial claims with a vigour that is alarming her neighbours and increasing the risk of escalation. Although the rise of new powers creates a new source of opportunity for greater global prosperity, it also presents the challenge of persuading those emerging powers to accept the norms that keep the peace between nations.\nHansard source (Citation: HC Deb, 1 June 2015, c312)\nKevin Brennan Shadow Minister (Education)\nThe Secretary of State mentioned in his preamble the importance of our membership of the European Union. Is it his intention when the referendum happens to vote for our remaining members of the European Union?\nPhilip Hammond Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs\nMy sincere hope is that we will be able to negotiate a substantive package of reform of how the European Union works and changes to Britain\u2019s relationship with the European Union that will enable us to recommend a yes vote to the people of this country when they make that decision in due course. If I may, I shall come back to that theme in just a moment.\nGerald Howarth Conservative, Aldershot\nThe Foreign Secretary mentioned what is going on in the South China sea. As he knows, I have for a number of months expressed concern in this Chamber about the actions of the Chinese Government in building runways and port facilities on uninhabited and disputed atolls. What does the Secretary of State think the UK can do about it? Is he in discussions with the Chinese? Has he made representations about our concerns to them? What discussions is he having with our allies in the five power defence arrangements?\nMy right hon. Friend the Defence Secretary is just back today from the Shangri-La dialogue meeting in Singapore, where that has been a major theme. It is a matter of concern when any power, however great, starts to exercise its territorial claims in a way that gives rise to alarm among its neighbours. What we all fear is destabilisation in the South China sea. What we need to see is the many territorial disputes in that area resolved by arbitration and the application of the principles of international law, just as we seek to see those principles applied more widely.\nAlex Salmond Shadow SNP Westminster Group Leader (International Affairs and Europe)\nThe Foreign Secretary has already mentioned a list of matters the world over that have within them threats to human rights. Does he therefore support this country\u2019s withdrawal from the European convention on human rights?\nThat is not the proposal on the table. The proposal, as the right hon. Gentleman knows, is to ensure that our obligations in respect of compliance with the human rights agenda are overseen by judges in this country, in the context of what is happening in this country. My right hon. Friend the Justice Secretary is looking now at how best to deliver that in a way that is acceptable to the British people and compliant with our obligations under international law.\nI shall make a little progress, if I may.\nIt is also in Britain\u2019s interest and in Europe\u2019s interest that we resolve decisively the question of Britain\u2019s relationship with the EU. Alongside the challenges and threats to the rules-based international system, negotiating a better future for Europe and our future relationship with Europe will be one of the overriding priorities of Britain\u2019s foreign policy agenda in this Parliament. Allowing the British people to have the final say on Britain\u2019s future in Europe was one of the centrepieces of the Conservative party\u2019s offer to the electorate at the recent election, and one that distinguished us from the Opposition parties.\nThe British people grabbed that offer with both hands, and whatever revisionism we now see from the Opposition, the British people will not forget in a hurry who was prepared to trust them with this decision on Britain\u2019s future and who was not. The introduction of the European Union Referendum Bill last week represented an election promise delivered by this Government, and I look forward to making the case for a referendum\u2014a case that Labour, the SNP and the Liberal Democrats have all denied\u2014in the Second Reading debate next week.\nThe three key immediate challenges we face are clear: repelling the threat to the established order from Russia and developing a response to its doctrine of asymmetric warfare; crushing the evil and poisonous ideology of ISIL and extremist Islamism more generally; and resolving Britain\u2019s relationship with the European Union.\nMy right hon. Friend says that we should not link that evil organisation in Syria and Iraq, Daesh, with Islam, but the international community is doing so indirectly by calling it Islamic State. It is not a state, it is not Islamic and it is an affront to billions of Muslims around the world to call it Islamic State. Will the United Kingdom do what Turkey and other countries do and call it Daesh, or Faesh in Arabic?\nMy hon. Friend will not have heard me using the two unmentionable words that he uttered. I use the term ISIL. Daesh is equally acceptable. I would be grateful if he presented his argument to the BBC and perhaps got it to adopt his very sensible proposal.\nIs this an opportunity for the Foreign Secretary to update the House on what the British Government are doing in Iraq and the support of the front-line forces in training?\nIf the hon. Lady will allow me, I shall come on to Iraq specifically shortly. I will address her question then and I will happily come back to her if she wants to ask a supplementary question at that point.\nI shall take one more intervention, then I must make progress.\nI am grateful to the Foreign Secretary for giving way. In relation to the EU and his trips to see his counterparts in the European Union, and the Prime Minister\u2019s trips, is a two-speed Europe developing, where some of the European countries want closer political union and the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary want the EU to become more like a common market?\nI have always rejected the concept of a two-speed Europe because that implies that we are all going to the same place but that some of us are getting there faster than others. I rather like the concept of a two-pillar Europe that recognises that there will be a more integrated eurozone core but that there will be countries such as the UK that are not and never will be part of the eurozone and will have a less integrated relationship within the European Union. This is the basis on which we should discuss these issues going forward.\nI will make a little progress before happily giving way again.\nI have set out the three key immediate challenges we face. Our resolve to deliver on each of them should not be doubted, and, although all three are in our near abroad, neither should our commitment to playing a role on the broader world stage, re-enforcing Britain\u2019s reputation as a reliable ally and partner in the task of sustaining the global order.\nOver the past five years we have seen our overseas aid budget saving lives, preventing conflict and raising living standards in 28 countries across Africa, Asia and the middle east. We have seen our armed forces deployed in Afghanistan, building that country\u2019s ability to provide its own security; in Sierra Leone, battling Ebola; in the Philippines, responding to Typhoon Haiyan; and, just recently, in Nepal, in the wake of the terrible earthquake there. We have played a leading role in countering nuclear proliferation, including in negotiations with Iran. We have led the world\u2019s engagement in Somalia, stabilising the country and leading the naval force that eradicated piracy from the horn of Africa.\nThe tireless work of our officials at the UN in New York, at NATO in Brussels and in other international organisations has kept us at the forefront of multilateral diplomacy. We are a leading player in climate change diplomacy, as we approach this December\u2019s crucial Paris meeting. The quietly effective work of our embassies and missions around the world daily played its role in reducing tensions and managing conflict, from the South China sea to Africa\u2019s great lakes.\nKeith Simpson Conservative, Broadland\nMy right hon. Friend has articulated three challenges we now face. May I suggest that he consider a fourth challenge: matching our capabilities with resources? The strategic defence and security review will take place this autumn. Will the savings that the Treasury requires be made before or after the review?\nThe three key immediate challenges that will dominate our foreign policy thinking, which I have set out, are plain to see. The question of how we develop the toolkit to respond to them is an equally valid but different question. To answer my hon. Friend\u2019s specific question, my understanding is that the strategic defence and security review and the comprehensive spending review will take place in parallel and lead to conclusions later this year.\nDawn Butler Labour, Brent Central\nIn the light of the positive contribution that 16 and 17-year-olds made in the referendum in Scotland, does the Foreign Secretary feel that it is now time to give them the chance to vote in the forthcoming referendum?\nThe answer is no. If the hon. Lady has read the Bill that has been published, she will know that the intention is to operate on the Westminster franchise, plus peers and citizens of Gibraltar resident in the UK. We think that is the right way to proceed on a matter that is reserved and is of importance to the whole United Kingdom.\nNo one should doubt the Government\u2019s ambition to sustain and strengthen Britain\u2019s role in the world. How, colleagues might ask, are we positioned to deliver on that ambition? In the previous Parliament we made significant process, and I want to pay tribute to my predecessor, William Hague, for reversing many of the mistakes of the Blair and Brown years and laying the sound foundations upon which we are now building. However, I am the first to recognise that there is much more to do in this Parliament to finish the job, as we complete the task of rebuilding Britain\u2019s public finances and reinvigorating Britain\u2019s economy. Our economic security and our national security are two sides of the same coin\u2014without one, we cannot have the other. Our prosperity depends upon Britain remaining an outward-looking nation that is engaged with the world, and strong national security is underpinned by a strong and growing economy.\nHas the Foreign Secretary seen the recent reports from The Washington Post columnist Fareed Zakaria, who points out that the United Kingdom\u2019s inward turn over recent years, moving away from engagement in the world, is folly not just for our country but for the international order?\nThere is always a lag in these things. There was indeed an \u201cinward turn\u201d by the United Kingdom, but it took place in the period 2007 to 2010. That is a matter of deep regret that we are now in the process of reversing.\nI want to build on the point that I have made to Mike Gapes. In 2010 we inherited a hollowed-out system, with public finances that were on the brink of collapse after years of overspending and over-borrowing, and the largest peacetime deficit in this country\u2019s history.\nJon Ashworth Shadow Minister (Cabinet Office)\nI see that there are still one or two overspending deniers on the Labour Back Benches.\nAll this was the product of years of mismanagement by Labour\u2014economic decline that had diminished our global influence. In defence, we inherited an equipment programme that was wholly unsustainable and a budget with a \u00a338 billion black hole at its heart. In the Foreign Office, Labour\u2019s legacy was a shrunken diplomatic network that was demoralised and in decline. Faced with the urgent challenge of rebuilding our economy and our public finances, and looking at the devastation of the levers of hard and soft power that we inherited, we could have accepted strategic shrinkage as inevitable and settled for decline in our global influence\u2014but we did not.\nThe Foreign Secretary was absolutely right to pay tribute to his predecessor, the former Member for Richmond, Yorkshire, because since 2010 we have put the word \u201cCommonwealth\u201d truly back at the centre of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office\u2014something that was desperately lacking under the previous Labour Government.\nIt was one of the many things that were desperately lacking. I was a little surprised by the comments of the other Miliband\u2014the former Foreign Secretary\u2014last week, because they read like the comments of a man who has never been inside the Foreign Office and has no recollection of the damage that the previous Labour Government did to our foreign policy and its instruments.\nJeremy Corbyn Labour, Islington North\nI want to make a little more progress and then I will give way.\nIn the face of continuous opposition from Labour, we chose to tackle Britain\u2019s problems in 2010, not paper over them with more borrowed money. We chose growth over recession, jobs over welfare, strength over weakness, and influence over decline. We stuck to our pledge to meet the United Nations target for development aid and committed to ensuring it was used to complement our global objectives. We are rebuilding Britain\u2019s economy to be among the most dynamic in the developed world, with the fastest rate of growth in the G7 last year and the fastest rate of job creation in the European Union, earning the respect that underpins our role as a player on the world stage.\nLet us not forget, and let us not allow others to airbrush out, the situation we inherited and the tough decisions we had to take. Armed forces had been sent into battle in Afghanistan without the protective vehicles, body armour and helicopter lift they needed to keep them safe. Under Labour\u2019s stewardship, the Foreign Office had shut down over 30 diplomatic missions, ignored trade and investment opportunities around the world, and neglected vital relationships, including those with some of our closest allies\u2014a neglect exemplified by the fact that during the entirety of Labour\u2019s 13 years in office no Labour Foreign Secretary set foot in Australia, one of our closest allies.\nIn the Foreign Secretary\u2019s report on foreign policy worldwide, he failed to mention the situation between the Palestinians and the Israelis. How far down the road to progress have we got on that?\nNot nearly far enough. The Israeli election process and the process of forming a Government\u2014the initiative that had started last year\u2014has stalled, and now there is a common consensus among those most concerned with this issue that we have to complete the sensitive Iran nuclear negotiations before trying to kick-start the middle east peace process again. The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right to raise this because it lies at the root of so many of the other challenges that we face in the region, and we absolutely have to return to it over the course of this summer.\nKeith Vaz Labour, Leicester East\nSince the House last sat, the situation in Yemen has deteriorated to a terrible extent, with thousands of people being killed and there are still some British citizens who are trapped there. I know that the Foreign Secretary is focused on this issue, but will he tell the House what further help we can give to President Hadi, who is the legitimately elected President of Yemen?\nThe long-term sustainable solution in Yemen has to be an inclusive Government that represent all the elements in that country. The Houthi may be the subject of the Gulf Co-operation Council coalition\u2019s attacks at the moment, but they are not the enemy: they are part of the community in Yemen and they have to be brought inside. Our focus at the moment is on trying to secure the agreed UN conference that we had hoped would take place last week but which has not yet happened. We shall continue to use our diplomatic efforts to ensure that it happens as soon as possible.\nMy constituents are particularly interested in Cyprus. The situation there has been left unresolved; indeed, the country has been divided for more than 40 years and there was a manifesto commitment to seek a resolution in that troubled island. Given the election of Mr Mustafa Akinci, which is a very positive development for Turkish Cypriots, what prospect does the Foreign Secretary see for the reunification of the island and is it a priority of his?\nMy hon. Friend\u2019s question is timely, because I do not think we have seen\u2014certainly not in my political lifetime\u2014the stars as optimistically aligned as they are now for Cyprus. We have a Turkish Cypriot community leader and a Greek Cypriot President who are committed to a settlement, a Government in Athens that are distracted by problems of their own, a President in Turkey who is also clearly amenable to the idea of a settlement, and an excellent UN-appointed intermediary who is making progress with the talks that are going on right now. I hope to visit Cyprus in the near future and I have been discussing the issue with my Cypriot counterpart over the past few days. I think we should be optimistic and the UK is, of course, fully supportive of the process of finding a lasting resolution to the situation in Cyprus. The UK has made a very big and generous offer that, as part of a proper, comprehensive settlement, we will surrender a significant proportion of the land mass of the sovereign base area in Cyprus to allow the economic development of southern Cyprus.\nI am going to make a little progress.\nIt fell to us in 2010 to hold the first strategic defence and security review for almost a generation and to balance the books in the Ministry of Defence. It fell to us to replace Labour\u2019s system of sofa government with a proper National Security Council and to reverse Labour\u2019s rundown of our diplomatic network by extending our reach with new posts in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and, of course, by undoing Labour\u2019s bewildering decision to close the Foreign Office language school.\nI am proud of the achievements of the last Government and now is the time to build on them in Britain\u2019s national interest, using all the tools at our disposal\u2014our extensive, world-class diplomatic network; our growing economic and trading muscle; our extraordinary armed forces and military capabilities; and our generous aid budget\u2014to continue to rebuild Britain\u2019s reach and influence across the world while tackling the three key immediate challenges I have identified.\nI will address each of those challenges in turn, but before I do so I will take an intervention from my hon. Friend Mr Baron.\nI thank the Foreign Secretary for giving way; he is being very generous. Given the extent of the refugee crisis that has been unfolding in Lebanon and Jordan since Parliament last met, does he accept that we need to continue as a country, together with others, to properly support those countries when dealing with refugees, because under-resourced and ill-run refugee camps can become a breeding ground for extremists?\nMy hon. Friend is absolutely right, and I entirely agree with him. The Department for International Development has a very large programme. In fact, it is our largest ever single programme of support in a humanitarian crisis. We are the second largest donor to the Syria-Jordan-Lebanon area, and we will continue to support refugees and displaced persons, and the Governments in the region, as they struggle with the consequences of what is going on.\nOn the subject of refugees, the Foreign Secretary is obviously aware, as everyone is, of the massive flow of migrants across the Mediterranean, many thousands of whom have already died, as well as of those in the Andaman sea and elsewhere. There is a global phenomenon of victims of war, poverty and oppression fleeing in desperate circumstances. Do the Government have a strategy for supporting refugees and saving life at sea, rather than repelling people seeking a place of safety?\nYes, we do have a strategy, and we are deploying it. As the hon. Gentleman says, thousands have died in the Mediterranean, but well over 1,000 have been saved by HMS Bulwark since we deployed it to rescue people from those perilous seas.\nThere are of course people fleeing persecution and oppression, but there are also very large numbers of economic migrants, many of whom are trafficked by criminal gangs who have extracted from them payments that they can ill afford. It is essential that we respond to this crisis in depth, dealing with the causes upstream in the countries of origin by investing more of our development budget in trying to create better conditions there, by working with countries of transit to strengthen security and, crucially, by working to install a Government of national unity in Libya that can once again get control of that country\u2019s territory.\nWill the Foreign Secretary give way?\nI will make some progress, but I will come back to the hon. Gentleman because he has been very persistent.\nWhen it comes to tackling Islamist extremism and its consequences, we will need a comprehensive approach, deploying every one of the tools available to us in a generational struggle against an evil but amorphous foe. As the brutal attacks in the past year by Islamist terrorists in Tunisia, Belgium, France, Australia, Canada and elsewhere have demonstrated, this is not just about Iraq and Syria; instability and extremism in one part of the world can end up costing innocent lives on the other side of the globe.\nEstablished groups such as ISIL and al-Qaeda have an international reach and pose a direct threat to the safety of British citizens and those of our allies. Newer extremist groups aspire to match them. They threaten stability in regions critical to our prosperity and our security, and the brutality and suffering they inflict on communities in the areas they currently control have led to millions of people being forced to flee from their homes in search of safety.\nThat is why the 60-nation international coalition against ISIL, in which the UK plays a leading role, is developing a comprehensive response across five mutually reinforcing lines of effort: supporting military operations and training; stopping the flow of foreign fighters; cutting off ISIL\u2019s funding; providing humanitarian relief to those displaced by ISIL\u2019s advance; and delegitimising ISIL and its messaging. We will remain at the forefront of the battle to degrade and ultimately destroy Islamist extremism in the middle east and Africa, and to stop it spreading and undermining democracy in south-east Asia, especially in Indonesia, the largest country in the Islamic world.\nBoris Johnson Mayor of London\nMy right hon. Friend is speaking very well about everything Britain can do to prevent ISIL from killing people in Syria and the middle east. What can we do to prevent the appalling tragedy that might befall the great ruins\u2014the great archaeological site, I should say\u2014in Palmyra? Is there any hope he can offer?\nI know that my hon. Friend is extremely concerned about this issue, but he will know that ISIL, for what it is worth, has given some limited assurances about its intentions with regard to the site. The problem is that the principal instrument the coalition has to deploy is air power, and he can well understand the difficulty in deploying air power to protect historical sites\u2014that does not make sense. I am afraid that the answer lies in the relentless pursuit of the campaign against ISIL: pushing them back on the ground, pushing them back wherever they present themselves.\nYes. Simply on the basis of persistence, the hon. Gentleman must be allowed to intervene.\nI am extremely grateful to the Foreign Secretary for giving way. He is at great pains to convince us that the UK is not retreating from the world stage, despite increasing commentary that it is. In that spirit, will he tell us what representations he has made to the Burmese authorities about the Rohingya refugees and migrants? Will he tell us from the Dispatch Box that it is UK policy to say to the Burmese that they should grant citizenship to the Rohingya?\nYes, that is our policy, and we have made representations in that respect. I am cautiously optimistic that there is a change going on in Burma among the political elite about this issue, under pressure from the international community in the face of what is another humanitarian disaster in that part of the world.\nThose who are suffering most from the ravages of extremism are the Iraqi and Syrian people, so we will maintain our support for the Iraqi Government, as they seek to reverse the mistakes of the past and to deal simultaneously with the threat from ISIL, a perilous humanitarian situation within their borders and the fiscal impact of the low oil price.\nAt the request of the Iraqi Government, we are delivering vital military equipment and training to the Iraqi security forces. After the US, no nation has delivered more coalition airstrikes in Iraq than Britain. We will go on doing so. But we are clear, and the Iraqi Government are clear, that western boots on the ground cannot be the answer. The task of pushing back ISIL on the ground in Iraq has to be fulfilled by local forces. That means Sunni forces must be generated to push ISIL out of Sunni-dominated Anbar province and to retake Mosul.\nUltimately, it is only Iraqi unity, built on the back of an inclusive Government, that can defeat ISIL in Iraq. I therefore welcome Prime Minister Abadi\u2019s commitments to reform and his efforts to reach out to all of Iraq\u2019s communities. I met him in Baghdad in April, and I will be meeting him again in Paris tomorrow. I will reinforce to him our commitment to help his Government achieve the genuine political reform and meaningful national reconciliation that are so badly needed. I will reinforce to his Sunni Gulf neighbours the important role that they must play in mobilising the Sunni in Iraq to balance the fighting forces effectively deployed by the Kurds and the Shi\u2019a.\nIan Lucas Shadow Minister (Defence)\nWhat is the Foreign Secretary\u2019s assessment of the state of relations between the Kurdish regional Government and the central Iraqi Government? Has progress been made since the new Prime Minister took office?\nYes. The hon. Gentleman made that question much easier with the last phrase: since Prime Minister Abadi took office, there is no doubt that relations between the Kurds and the central Iraqi Government have become much less strained. Within that, there have been ebbs and flows in the relationship and tensions, created, frankly, by the collapse in the oil price\u2014in the end, a great deal of this is about the sharing of revenues and resources, and when the cake is smaller, the discussion becomes very much more difficult, as the hon. Gentleman will know.\nIn Syria, we will continue to seek a political settlement to the civil war, which has allowed ISIL to seize control of large swathes\u2014\nI did say I would give way to the hon. Lady on Iraq. I do beg her pardon.\nI am very grateful, because I am still not clear on one issue. If press reports are to be believed, our involvement in training Iraqi forces has moved closer to actually training combat forces. I am also not entirely clear whether all our training\u2014that includes of the Syrians\u2014is happening outside Syria and Iraq, or whether more is going on inside Iraq and Syria.\nThe answer is that, in relation to Syria, we are doing our training outside the country; in relation to Iraq, we are doing training inside Iraq. We are providing important specialist training to Iraqi forces\u2014particularly counter-improvised explosive device training, which is probably the most pressing single need they have at the moment. We are actively looking at areas where we can increase our support; what we are looking for is areas where we can bring something to the table that others cannot\u2014where we have a niche capability that will deliver a meaningful benefit to the Iraqi forces.\nIn Syria, we have to seek a political settlement to the civil war, which has allowed ISIL to control large swathes of territory in which to create a nascent terrorist state. We support UN special envoy de Mistura\u2019s efforts to kick-start a political dialogue, and we will continue to train and support the moderate armed opposition and to seek a settlement that leads to a truly inclusive Government that can then tackle ISIL head on.\nWe are clear that Syria cannot overcome the extremist threat so long as Assad remains in power. As the forces under his command and control showed through their use of chemical weapons against their people and through their continued use of indiscriminate barrel bombing\u2014including attacks over the weekend in Aleppo province\u2014he has lost any claim to legitimacy in Syria. Assad is the heart of the problem. He has triggered a crisis that worsens day by day: 220,000 people dead, nearly 4 million people forced from their homes and more than 12 million in extreme need. We will maintain our leading humanitarian role. With our international partners, we must be ready to support a post-Assad regime to prevent the country being overrun by ISIL and to contain other Islamist extremist forces as it consolidates power.\nI will in just a moment.\nWhile we work with our coalition partners to use the full range of diplomatic, economic and military tools to overcome a barbaric terrorist organisation with aspirations to statehood on NATO\u2019s south-eastern flank, we must at the same time face a renewed threat on Europe\u2019s eastern border to the rules-based international system. At the end of the cold war, we sought to draw Russia into the international community of nations by offering investment, trade and friendship, but President Putin has rebuffed those efforts. By his illegal annexation of Crimea and Russia\u2019s destabilising activities in eastern Ukraine, he has demonstrated beyond doubt that he has chosen the role of strategic competitor. He appears intent on destabilising eastern Europe with the threat of a new and highly dangerous form of hybrid asymmetric warfare.\nBefore my right hon. Friend moved on from the middle east I wanted to catch him on the nuclear verification programme for Iran. Is he really happy with it, and does it capture the potential military uses that it could be put to?\nThe programme as agreed at Lausanne does indeed capture that and provide very good levels of protection. Of course, we have now got to translate that into a detailed written agreement. That is the process that is going on at the moment.\nThe Russian assault on our stability in Europe has been met with a robust response and Britain has been at the forefront of delivering it. We now need to maintain unity in the European Union and alignment with the United States to renew the sanctions until such time as Russia delivers on the pledges it made at Minsk. Sanctions must remain in place until it does so. If there are further violations, the EU has made it clear it will impose further sanctions. Nor will we forget Crimea: Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea was illegal and illegitimate in 2014; it remains illegal and illegitimate now.\nOn Europe, the concerted response in Europe to Russia\u2019s aggression has shown how the European Union can leverage the muscle of 28 countries coming together to send a clear, unified message of willingness to use its economic power to protect Europe\u2019s security. We must also recognise, however, that in a rapidly globalising world, the European Union has demonstrated fundamental weaknesses that have to be addressed. The Common Market we joined 40 years ago has changed out of all recognition since then. For many people in Britain, the EU too often feels like something that is done to them, rather than for them.\nI have to make some progress, because many Members wish to speak this afternoon.\nWe are clear that to be successful in the future the EU has to change course. It has to become more outward looking, more competitive and less bureaucratic. I am confident that that vision is increasingly shared across the continent. Through the renegotiation process, which the Prime Minister has now started, we have the opportunity to deliver change that will benefit all EU citizens, as well as addressing the long-standing concerns of the British people.\nDoes the Foreign Secretary share my concern at the forecast that in the next five years the share of world GDP by the EU will be just 60% of the level it was back in 1990? It is not just in the interests of the United Kingdom that we reach a settlement; it is in the best interests of the sustainability of the whole EU that it is reformed.\nMy hon. Friend is absolutely right. There are two parts to this agenda: reform of the European Union to make it more competitive, more accountable, more effective and more outward looking, which is in the interests of all of us; and Britain\u2019s specific requirements for its relationship with the European Union. We will negotiate a package that embraces both those concepts, and crucially it is in everyone\u2019s interests that we settle the issue of Britain\u2019s relationship with the EU once and for all, and that it is the British people who make that important decision in 2017.\nMeg Hillier Labour/Co-operative, Hackney South and Shoreditch\nThe Foreign Secretary has spent a great deal of his comments talking about inertia and lack of change under the last Labour Government, and action under the last coalition Government. However, at the end of the last Labour Government there were some moves to discuss and move forward on restricting the freedom of movement of regular petty criminals. How much progress did the coalition Government make on that issue, and is it on his agenda now?\nI am not aware of those discussions at the end of the last Labour Government. However, I can tell the hon. Lady that that the issue she referred to is on our agenda; in our negotiation with Europe, we will ensure that we deal with it.\nPromoting prosperity was an important part of our agenda during the last Parliament and it will remain so during this Parliament. We cannot separate our economic success from our diplomatic profile\u2014one supports the other\u2014and so, too, our values. At the heart of our foreign policy is the recognition that protecting our security and promoting our prosperity increasingly rely upon a stable world order, which depends on there being a values-based system in the world. Our own story is one of evolution over revolution, and of perseverance over impatience, and we must never shy from telling it and sharing our experience with others who are making their own journey towards a modern and democratic system.\nWe will promote stable and prosperous societies as the foundation of the rules-based international system that underpins our own security and prosperity, so projecting our values is at the heart of our strategy to protect our security and promote our prosperity. It is not an afterthought; it is a core part of the agenda.\nOurs is a country that is making a decisive contribution to the global agenda. We are leading reform of the European Union; drawing a line with Russia in defence of the international rules-based system and doing our share to reassure NATO\u2019s eastern members; playing a central role in the global coalition against terrorism; tackling Iran on its nuclear programme; and helping to bring stability to Somalia and an end to piracy. We are also working to secure a global climate deal in Paris later this year, and time and time again we play a leading role in bringing the world together, whether it is to overcome Ebola, to end sexual violence in conflict or to tackle the illegal wildlife trade.\nTo those who say that our ability to tackle the challenges of globalisation has waned, I say, \u201cLook at our record.\u201d Our economy\u2014the foundation of everything we do\u2014is outperforming our peers; our armed forces are taking the fight to ISIL, and they are backed by what is the second largest defence budget in NATO and the largest in the EU; and our overseas aid budget is helping to save millions of lives, literally making the difference between life and death in some of the poorest countries in the world. However, now is most certainly not the time to rest on our laurels. Now is the time to build on the foundations we laid in the last Parliament, using all the many tools at our disposal to shape the world around us, to broaden and deepen the rules-based international system, to meet head-on the challenges to our national security, to promote relentlessly the advancement of our national prosperity and to project confidently our values around the globe. And that is exactly what we intend to do.\nHilary Benn Shadow Foreign Secretary 3:48 pm, 1st June 2015\nI congratulate the right hon. Gentleman on having been reappointed as Foreign Secretary, and I wish him well with his important responsibilities. From the start I assure him that where we believe it is right to do so, I and my colleagues will fully support him and the Government in matters of foreign policy.\nI shall also say something about my predecessor as shadow Foreign Secretary, Douglas Alexander. For nearly 18 years, he was committed to serving his constituents, and as a Cabinet Minister and as shadow Foreign Secretary he made a distinguished contribution to public policy and our debates; he will be much missed.\nI pay tribute to the men and women of our armed forces. Whether it is their courage and sacrifice in Afghanistan, conducting air missions in Iraq, helping the people of Sierra Leone affected by Ebola or saving the lives of frightened families in overcrowded boats in the Mediterranean, their unfailing bravery, professionalism and dedication are in the finest traditions of our nation. I would also like to acknowledge all those who serve in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for International Development, here and abroad, for their outstanding work on behalf of our country and the world. In all my dealings with them as a Minister, I was unfailingly impressed.\nIn this century more than ever before, we as human kind are having to come to terms with our interdependence and what it means for relations between countries and peoples. One hundred and fifty years ago, when the British empire was at its height, Parliament was much concerned with what was happening overseas, but, unlike now, much of that debate focused on what Britain\u2019s unilateral diplomatic or military response should be. Today\u2019s world is very different. The empire has gone. New global powers and trading blocs have emerged and grown in strength and influence\u2014most notably China\u2014as power and wealth have shifted from north to south and from west to east. Events across the globe are seen and reported as they happen and their effects are felt and debated by people in this country as never before, as the imperial interests of the past have been replaced by the community of interests that reflects our nation today.\nThe challenges we face are changing too, and the end of history is nowhere in sight. Who would have thought that 25 years after the fall of the Berlin wall, we would see fighting between Russia, through its proxy forces, and Ukraine? Who would have believed that 350 years after the Enlightenment dawned, an ideology bitterly hostile to other faiths and the rights of women would rise up and use brutality and terror to conquer and seek to roll back progress in countries as diverse as Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Nigeria?\nIn tackling extremism, one has to create a tolerant world, but in 130 countries there is persecution of people based on their faith. Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that we have to do much more to protect religious freedom, whether it is reforming blasphemy laws in Pakistan affecting Christian and other minority communities or in respect of Burma and the Rohingya community? Does he agree that that should be a key pillar of our foreign policy?\nI agree with the hon. Gentleman and shall have a word to say about it a little later.\nWho would have thought we would be grappling with the potentially catastrophic consequences of loss of biodiversity and climate change\u2014a threat that is the ultimate expression of our interdependence as human beings, because no one country on its own can deal with it? Make no mistake: if drought causes crops to fail or families to go thirsty, if flooding and rises in the sea-level wash people\u2019s homes away or if conflict breaks out, human beings will do what human beings have done throughout the whole course of human history; they will move somewhere else to try to make a life for themselves and their families.\nDespite these changes, Britain retains influence and reach in global affairs. We are part of the Commonwealth; we are members of the European Union, NATO, the G7 and the G20; and we have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. Our history and our exports, material, political and cultural\u2014democracy, human rights, the rule of law, the BBC, the English language\u2014give us a voice that makes itself heard, and because of that heritage and good will, the Government have a particular responsibility to use Britain\u2019s place in the world for the greater good by showing that we aspire to continue to be an outward-looking, not an inward-facing, nation.\nThat is why the mess the Government have got themselves into over the Human Rights Act is so damaging to Britain\u2019s reputation internationally. Does the Foreign Secretary really believe it helps his cause when he raises human rights issues with other countries that back home his Cabinet colleagues talk about leaving the European convention on human rights, which we helped to draft after the second world war?\nDoes the shadow Foreign Secretary accept that the European convention on human rights was set up to prevent a repetition of the holocaust, that it was not set up to allow foreign judges to usurp the authority of this Parliament to decide whether prisoners in this country should have a vote, and that it should not be entitled to impede the lawful authority of this Government or any British Government to decide whom to deport or not?\nLet me gently say to the hon. Gentleman that the convention was part of Churchill\u2019s legacy and that we should be proud of the part Britain played in asserting the primacy of human rights\u2014indeed out of the ashes of that terrible conflict that was the second world war. It is one of the reasons why a number of voices now say that Britain is not pulling its weight.\nIt cannot have been much fun for the Foreign Secretary to get his press cuttings delivered over the last few months, when General Sir Richard Shirreff, the former NATO commander, told The Times that the Prime Minister was\n\u201ca bit player\u201d, a \u201cforeign policy irrelevance\u201d and that\n\u201cNobody is taking any notice of him\u201d, when The Economist described \u201cLittle Britain\u201d as\n\u201ca shrinking actor on the global stage\u201d, and the Washington Post ran a piece headed \u201cBritain resigns as a world power\u201d. In fairness to the Prime Minister, he has been a little distracted by the problems in his own party over the European Union.\nI may have missed something. Could the right hon. Gentleman tell us whether he has changed his mind about having a referendum on the European Union, and if so why, and when he did so? What reforms does he hope to achieve in Europe?\nI am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for that question, and if he will bear with me for a just a moment longer, I shall address exactly the points he has raised.\nThe Prime Minister might temporarily have stopped his Back Benchers banging on about Europe, but I fear that many of them will be a bit disappointed when they discover that the Prime Minister is not the Eurosceptic they wish he was.\nTo answer the question of Boris Johnson, as my right hon. and learned Friend the Leader of the Opposition made clear in the opening of this Queen\u2019s Speech debate, we will support the European Union Referendum Bill next week. [Interruption.] Well, circumstances have changed. There has been a general election and we listened to what people said on the doorsteps. [Interruption.] Before the hon. Gentleman gets too excited, he should reflect on the time when the Prime Minister and the former Foreign Secretary were bitterly opposed to holding a referendum\u2014they, too, changed their minds, did they not? The issue now is what is the Government\u2019s strategy for the renegotiation, when will the referendum be held, and who is going to make the argument for Britain remaining part of the European Union?\nI listened very carefully to what the Foreign Secretary had to say just now about renegotiation, and I hope he will forgive me if I say he was a little hazy on the detail, especially given that he told the \u201cToday\u201d programme last week that we have\n\u201ca very clear set of requirements\u201d.\nIt would be very nice if he shared them with the House.\nOn treaty change, the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary seem to have been in different places at times. Shortly after the general election, the No. 10 spokesperson briefed the newspapers to the effect that the Prime Minister was committed to securing treaty change. A few days later, however, the Foreign Secretary told the Financial Times:\n\u201cIt does not mean we need treaty change for the politics\u201d.\nWhich is it? The Foreign Secretary also told the \u201cToday\u201d programme last week:\n\u201cif we are not able to deliver on these big areas of concern that the British people have, we will not win the referendum when it comes.\u201d\nCould the Foreign Secretary clarify, for the House\u2019s benefit, that when he said\n\u201cwe will not win the referendum\u201d, it meant that he would, after all, be campaigning for a yes vote when the referendum comes, notwithstanding the contrary impression he has given in recent years?\nStephen Gethins Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Europe)\nOn a point of clarification, does the shadow Foreign Secretary agree with me that the leader of the Scottish Labour party, Kezia Dugdale, has seen the light, as she backed the SNP position that EU nationals should have the opportunity to vote in the EU referendum?\nI do not agree with that proposal because I think the basis on which we take that decision should be the same basis on which every single one of us was elected to this House. That was the basis on which we took the decision in 1975. If the hon. Gentleman cared to do his research and look at the franchise in other EU countries that have held referendums on matters to do with Europe, he would find that they have not allowed EU citizens from other countries to participate. If it is good enough in the rest of Europe, it seems to me that it is good enough for the United Kingdom.\nThat is not to say that the European Union does not need to change. Like many people, we wish to see reform in Europe on benefits, transitional controls, the way in which the EU works, and the completion of the single market to boost services, jobs and growth. The EU also needs to recognise that it must work for the countries that are, and will continue to be, outside the euro, and that there is growing demand from countries throughout Europe that want a greater say. When global politics are caught between the pull of nationalism and the necessity of internationalism, the global institutions that will prosper in the years ahead will be those that are able to respond to the cry for more devolution of power where that is possible\nDoes the right hon. Gentleman agree that, at the last election, political parties that did not trust the British people with a referendum on their relationship with the EU were ultimately not trusted in the ballot box\u2014except in Scotland, whose population have, I believe, had enough of referendums for a generation, if not a lifetime? His party is now suggesting that 16 and 17-year-olds should vote, but four weeks ago he did not want anyone to have a vote. He has no credibility in relation to the EU referendum, and neither does his party.\nOrder. May I encourage Members, in the kindliest spirit, to be economical with their interventions? Given that 56 Members wish to speak, some consideration of each other would be appreciated.\nThank you very much, Mr Speaker. I shall deal shortly with the hon. Gentleman\u2019s point about that part of the franchise.\nLet me also say to the Foreign Secretary that reform in Europe is not solely down to what one country asks for at one moment in time. It is about building alliances and making friends, as the Prime Minister is now discovering, and that approach too can bring big change over time. The fundamental challenge that we face now is to make the case that Britain\u2019s place lies in a reforming European Union. Why? Because this is about jobs, investment, growth, influence and security.\nLast year we marked the centenary of the outbreak of the great war\u2014the muddy slaughter that claimed the flower of a generation from Europe\u2014and this year we commemorate the end of the second world war. We should never forget, bearing in mind that what we thought would never happen again is now happening in other parts of the world, that as the leaders of post-war Europe looked upon the names of the fallen carved on their gravestones, row upon row upon row, they resolved they would bring the nations of Europe together in the interests of peace. Seventy years on, that has lasted, but we can never take it for granted, and we can never take for granted the other benefits that membership of the EU has brought.\nThe removal of barriers to trade has helped to create and sustain jobs. It gives us access to a market of 500 million people. Nearly half the trade and foreign investment in this country comes from the EU, and competing in the single market with the best companies in the world helps to drive innovation and creates new markets for British businesses. The EU has improved living standards throughout Europe and for British workers by giving them, for instance, the right to paid holiday and equal treatment.\nGiven all that, it makes no sense for us to turn our back on Europe, and to leave it on the wing and a prayer of a better deal outside. Those who point to Norway and Switzerland should note what the Foreign Secretary himself told the House recently, when he drew attention to the terms that those two countries had negotiated for access to the single market. He said:\n\u201cthose terms require the Swiss and Norwegians to accept wholesale the body of EU law without having any say in the making of it, to contribute financially and to abide by the principles of free movement.\u201d\u2014[Hansard, 3 March 2015; Vol. 593, c. 807-08.]\nThose are some of the many reasons for Labour\u2019s belief that the European Union is central to our future prosperity, and by the end of 2017 the British people will make the most important decision about our place in the world that they have faced for 40 years when they vote on our membership of the EU. We will campaign for a yes vote, and we will argue for British 16 and 17-year-olds to be given a say in that decision, because it is about their future too\u2014just as we argued in the general election so recently fought that the franchise for all elections in this country should be extended to them.\nWould the right hon. Gentleman argue that 16 and 17-year-olds should be sent into battle? I think it wrong that although we do not allow our soldiers to go into battle until they are 18, we\u2014or some people\u2014are quite prepared to envisage 16 and 17-year-olds voting to send them into battle.\nNo, I would not change that age, but I say to the hon. Gentleman that, when one thinks that the law allows a 16 or 17-year-old to give full consent to medical treatment, leave school, enter work or training, join a trade union, pay income tax and national insurance, obtain tax credits and welfare benefits, consent to sexual relationships, get married\u2014albeit with the parents\u2019 consent\u2014change their name by deed poll, become a director of a company and indeed join the armed forces, it seems to me that we ought to be able to trust them to participate in that democratic decision.\nEnsuring peace and security around the world must be at the heart of our diplomatic and security efforts. We live in a differently dangerous world today, with a multiplicity of threats, military, political, natural and cyber. The ultimate responsibility of Government is to defend the nation, and we remain committed to a minimum credible independent nuclear capability delivered through continuous at-sea deterrence while supporting global, multilateral disarmament negotiations and further reductions in stockpiles and numbers of weapons. We are also committed to upholding the rights of the Falkland islanders to remain British, including by ensuring the defence of the islands.\nI have just heard what seems to be a support for renewal of the Trident nuclear system. The shadow Foreign Secretary has already disagreed with Kezia Dugdale on the question of the participation of European citizens. Is the shadow Foreign Secretary aware that the sole remaining Labour MP from Scotland does not share his opinion on Trident renewal?\nI am setting out for the right hon. Gentleman what the policy of Her Majesty\u2019s Opposition is, and I know he takes a different view, but a decision about the defence of the nation is not a matter for any one part of the United Kingdom: it is a matter for the whole of the United Kingdom and for this House.\nI am going to make a little more progress as there are many who wish to speak.\nThe crisis in Ukraine, which the Foreign Secretary referred to, has demonstrated how an aggressive Russia can threaten its neighbours and reminds us of the importance of NATO and of the EU in standing up to external threats in Europe\u2019s eastern and southern neighbourhoods. As he said, the Minsk agreement represents the best hope of progress, but it needs to be implemented.\nWe support the action the Government have taken to participate in the high readiness NATO force in eastern Europe, including sending four RAF Typhoon jets to be part of the Baltic air policing mission, because that is a clear demonstration of the UK\u2019s commitment to collective security.\nThe threat from al-Qaeda and the growth of ISIL and other Islamic jihadist groups not just in the middle east but in Somalia with al-Shabaab and in Nigeria with Boko Haram, represent a considerable threat to global and domestic security. The flow of young British men and women into Syria via Turkey, some of their own volition and others having been groomed, is as inexplicable to their parents as it is alarming to this House. Recent advances by ISIL in Iraq, in particular the seizure of Ramadi, reveal the continuing weakness of Iraqi forces and of the Baghdad Government\u2019s capacity to deal with this threat, despite the aerial support the Foreign Secretary referred to. Sectarianism has caused great suffering to the people of Iraq and only an inclusive politics can overcome it. Back in October the Foreign Secretary told the House that, while there would be tactical ebb and flow in Iraq, the coalition air campaign had \u201cstabilised the strategic picture\u201d. Is that still his view given that what is being done at the moment does not seem to have halted ISIL\u2019s advance?\nI am happy to respond briefly to the right hon. Gentleman on that point. Of course Ramadi is a setback, but it is not a strategically significant point. Ramadi was already partly occupied by ISIL and the town itself is not of strategic significance.\nI am grateful to the Foreign Secretary for that response.\nMeanwhile, as we have heard, the humanitarian crisis grows in Syria, Iraq and the neighbouring countries of Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey, which are bearing a huge burden. There are now over 4 million Syrian refugees, which is the largest exodus of people since the end of the second world war\u2014that is the scale of what we are having to deal with. I welcome the Government\u2019s significant contribution to meeting the needs of these refugees, but the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs appeal is still way short of the funding it needs and we must continue to encourage other partners to live up to their responsibilities.\nI remind my right hon. Friend of the point made by my hon. Friend Jeremy Corbyn about those who are seeking to cross the Mediterranean to come into Europe because of the crisis in north Africa. A thousand Syrian refugees have now arrived on the island of Kos. Is it not essential that the EU has a plan to deal with the Maghreb countries? The answer is not quotas. All quotas will do is play into the hands of those who exploit vulnerable refugees.\nI agree with my right hon. Friend that both the EU and the United Nations need to have a plan to deal with that. The UN special representative, Bernardino Le\u00f3n, said at the weekend:\n\u201cLibya is on the verge of economic and financial collapse\u201d.\nHe also said that Libya is\n\u201cfacing a huge security threat\u201d from ISIL. The movement of migrants across the Mediterranean has indeed reached crisis point. As we know, thousands of innocent people have died and hundreds of thousands of others have been put at risk. It is clear that the traffickers are to blame for the conditions in which people make that perilous journey, but it is important that any action taken to deal with that trade is backed by the UN Security Council, has clear rules of engagement and has the consent of the relevant Libyan authorities. The Foreign Secretary will no doubt have seen the comments made over the weekend by the head of the rival Government in Tripoli about defending Libya\u2019s sea and land from any EU operation.\nI welcome the negotiations that have been taking place to reach a deal with Iran. After many years in which Iran has chosen to exploit regional tensions by supporting terrorist groups, under its new leadership there is an opportunity for it to play a more positive role. A nuclear-armed Iran would clearly pose a threat to peace in the region and the world, which is why a deal that ensures that Iran\u2019s nuclear programme is purely civilian is so important, but for a deal to be concluded it must encompass all the elements: limits on Iran\u2019s nuclear programme; strong and credible inspection; and assurances about the breakout period.\nI will give way, but I will then make some progress.\nI thank the shadow Foreign Secretary for giving way on the issue of Iran. Is he confirming that the policy of Her Majesty\u2019s Opposition is that no deal is better than a bad deal? That would allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and therefore threaten the stability of the region.\nThe policy of Her Majesty\u2019s Opposition is that we need the right deal to address the threat and to offer the opportunity of a way forward. We should support those talks as they continue. One reason for that is the situation in the middle east where, as the whole House would acknowledge, the only way forward is a comprehensive two-state solution: a secure Israel alongside a viable and independent state of Palestine. There can be no military solution to that conflict, and all sides must avoid taking action that would make peace harder to achieve, including firing rockets and building illegal settlements, but we should also be straight about where things are. There is no peace process to speak of at the moment, and the fear is that, with each passing day, the window on that two-state solution is closing. That is why every effort must be made to press for an immediate return to negotiations, but the blunt truth is that nobody can want that, or an agreement, more than the parties to the conflict themselves. That is going to require compromise and courageous political leadership on the part of both Israel and the Palestinians, which sadly is not currently evident.\nGerald Kaufman Father of the House of Commons\nWill my right hon. Friend confirm that he, as shadow Foreign Secretary, stands by the official Labour party vote last October to recognise the Palestinian state?\nI am happy to give my right hon. Friend that assurance.\nEach of these conflicts has its own causes but, as well as being about who has power in a country, one of the threads that runs through many of the conflicts is the uneasy relationship between the secular and the religious. We should understand that all too well in this country, given our history of power struggles, religious intolerance and persecution, but we have now reached a state in which we have shown that it is possible both to uphold universal human rights and to enable people to be absolutely free to practise their religion. That is one of the reasons why Britain is admired by many countries across the world for its genuine freedom, but we cannot be complacent here and we have to be on our guard against the rise of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia as we stand up against religious and other persecution across the world, whether it be of Christians, of those who are lesbian, gay, transgender or bisexual, or of the Rohingya who have been affected by the recent crisis in Burma.\nI welcome the work that Ministers have done to highlight the terrible effects of sexual violence on girls and women in armed conflict. Anyone who has visited the Panzi hospital in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as I had the privilege of doing when I was International Development Secretary, will have been deeply moved by the stories told of rape, sometimes by children too young to understand what had really happened to them, and inspired by the work of Dr Denis Mukwege and his team as they provide care and treatment with the utmost compassion.\nThe most important human right is the right to life, and this year marks the 50th anniversary of the suspension of capital punishment in Britain, which was followed by its abolition four years later. I hope that, as we oppose the use of the death penalty in all circumstances, as do the Government, the number of people on death row should lead us further to strengthen our efforts around the world to abolish the death penalty.\nNo debate about Britain and the world can ignore the threat of climate change. As the impact of floods in Britain has shown, climate change is now an issue of national, as well as global, security. We have seen drought in California, floods in Texas and typhoons in the Philippines\u2014these are things the world thought would be experienced only by our children and our grandchildren. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is clear that, if we are to hold global warming below 2\u00b0, emissions need to peak in 2020 and then rapidly decline. That is why we need a strong agreement at the United Nations framework convention on climate change conference in Paris in December that sets ambitious targets; has a goal of net zero global emissions in the second half of this century; has common rules for measuring and verifying; and has a fair deal in which richer countries help to support poorer nations to combat climate change. Britain\u2019s development and climate change assistance will help.\nBritain\u2019s record on development assistance and the passing into law of the 0.7% target are shining examples of the power of political movements to change things, just as those who advocate slashing our aid budget are narrow-minded, selfish and wrong. The work we do as a nation to help to send children to school and to vaccinate kids against diseases that our children do not die of, and the help we give to fragile and conflict-affected states, are powerful examples of what being a good neighbour means in this century. The sustainable development goals summit later this year will be a chance, after seven years in which the world has faced inwards because of the global economic crash, to turn our face back outwards and renew our commitment to our fellow citizens.\nUltimately, this is about political will. Progress will depend on our ability as a world to come together and co-operate in tackling poverty and conflict\u2014the two great engines of the movement of people around the globe. We know that civil wars result, on average, in 20 years of lost development. It is no accident that Afghanistan has the highest rate of infant mortality in the world and that many of the Earth\u2019s poorest people live in countries at risk of, or recovering from, war. In the years to come, we may well see people fighting each other not about their politics and their religion, but about water, energy and land. Whatever their character, what these conflicts have in common is that the countries in which they are happening have been unable or unwilling to secure the lives of their citizens. The way forward is clear: replace violence with good politics\u2014its your choice; compromise; build good governance, security and the rule of law; promote economic opportunity, land rights, and trade; improve transport and telecommunications; and encourage openness to the world.\nThose are the characteristics of successful states, and the responsibility of the rest of the world is to help this happen. That does not mean the United Kingdom has to do everything\u2014we should not and we cannot\u2014but we should seek to build the world\u2019s capacity to do so. Nor does it mean that, if we propose to act somewhere, we should feel reticent for fear of being accused of inconsistency. Not doing the right thing somewhere because you cannot do the right thing everywhere has never struck me as a compelling reason for inaction.\nMartin Luther King put it like this:\n\u201cOn the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life\u2019s roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life\u2019s highway.\u201d\nThat is why we should stand by the United Nations, despite the fact that it too often lacks the will of its member states and the means to act, because it remains the best hope of a new world order. We face a very simple choice as a world. We cannot shut the door, close the curtains and hope that the rest of the world will go away, because it will not and we will feel the consequences anyway. What we should do is seize the opportunities that our increasingly interdependent and interconnected world offers Britain: new export markets, investment, jobs and a voice. That is why an outward-facing country is what we must continue to be.\nOrder. I advise the House that the six-minute time limit does not apply immediately\u2014there is a Front-Bench spokesman from whom the House must hear and a number of other contributors\u2014but I ask Members contributing early in the debate to take account of the fact that the application of that limit is imminent. I know that the Member to whom I am looking can be relied on for that purpose, because he, like me, is inclined to be short.\nAlan Duncan Conservative, Rutland and Melton 4:20 pm, 1st June 2015\nI thank you, Mr Speaker, for calling me and welcome Hilary Benn to his important role as shadow Foreign Secretary. I have not followed him since I used to monster him across the Dispatch Box when he was International Development Secretary, but now that I am a trainee old buffer I resolve to be much kinder.\nI was told this morning that I made my maiden speech 23 years ago. It is with that thought that I can both congratulate in advance those who are about to make theirs and look back over the past two decades to set into context the debate we are having today.\nThe biggest two things that are now clear and almost unstoppable in the world on an unprecedented scale, which have arisen over those past 20 years, are globalisation and the movement of people. We could also add increased conflict with non-state actors. It is in that context that I would like to say a few brief things about our economy, about Europe and about the middle east.\nThere were some dangers in the election that we have just had. Those dangers, which are inherent in democracy itself, were that, in order to win votes, we all needed to promise things. The danger in democracy, which can almost be self-consuming, is that an election becomes an auction of promises. I think that the people saw through that and made up their own minds and perhaps concluded that it is better to trust the politicians who promise them less. But there was far too little talk of wealth creation, and perhaps too much talk only of wealth redistribution.\nAnother thing, or large influence, to emerge from the election, which we must bear in mind over the next five years, is that our tax base is very much up to its buffers. People and capital can move. Some 1% of taxpayers pay 28% of all income tax. Business rates are increasingly outdated, as those who have a business in premises cannot compete with those who run their business online, and property taxes\u2014there was talk of a mansion tax\u2014are looking increasingly flawed because we should tax a flow of money and not just a stock of wealth.\nI welcome measures in the Queen\u2019s Speech that will cap income tax, VAT and national insurance, but imposing such a cap illustrates the problem I have just outlined. An economy determines our standing in the world, as does our unity. No country ever became greater by getting smaller. After the fall of the Berlin wall, Germany unified. As we look at the success of that country, I simply cannot understand why anyone here might be thinking of breaking us up\u2014I do not understand the logic of it. The EU is not a country; it is an agglomeration of states. It is more than 40 years since we joined it, and 40 years exactly since the referendum\u2014the first time I ever voted. But we must be clear from the rise of the UK Independence party and the last European election results that membership has left people and this Parliament permanently unsettled.\nThe relationship is not comfortably defined, nor is it universally accepted. A solution will not lie in a short-term fix about benefits limits or immigration quotas but has to lie, because this is where the problem is, in the scope and reach of who makes our law and therefore in the standing of this House as a sovereign Parliament. I suspect that that will need treaty change but lots of it is home-grown and I urge the Government to look at the implementation within our Government of the instructions that come from the European Union, because it is essential that we get to grips with the problem and excesses of implementation. I hope that there will also be well-qualified debate of a high standard on everything we are doing and talking about\u2014on the referendum legislation, on the Prime Minister\u2019s negotiations and on the referendum. Let us all resolve to pitch it at a high level and not just have an auction of tired clich\u00e9s.\nThere is a problem to which the right hon. Member for Leeds Central referred, and my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary also addressed his remarks to it. Perhaps because of the focus on the EU or perhaps because of an unfair perception\u2014although my hon.\nFriend Sir Gerald Howarth may differ in opinion on this point\u2014of our commitment to defence and deployment in the wider world, there is growing muttering on the world stage that the United Kingdom is in retreat. It is being talked up as a country that is losing its world role. We must disprove this accusation. I believe it to be unfair, but the accusations are there and the right hon. Member for Leeds Central listed a number of the recent press reports from America and the middle east that say so.\nI hope that we will have a better functioning partnership with the EU but that we will also maintain a distinctive policy approach to the middle east and be more confident and assertive about it. As the Foreign Secretary stated, the middle east is in turmoil and there is division within the Gulf Co-operation Council, particularly on Iran. During the election campaign, we lost out to the French in massive defence sales, Yemen has totally crumbled and illegal settlements in Palestine are being built at a greater pace and in greater numbers. All these issues need a confident British view, so I hope\u2014\nAlan Duncan Conservative, Rutland and Melton\nI am finishing my speech, but as it is the right hon. Gentleman, I shall give way very briefly.\nI congratulate the right hon. Gentleman on having the biggest majority in the whole of Leicestershire\u2014just\u2014[Hon. Members: \u201cWho\u2019s second?\u201d] Modesty forbids me from saying who is second. The right hon. Gentleman was a very distinguished envoy from the Prime Minister to Yemen. Will he continue in that very important role for the next five years, and what does he see as the solution to the problem in Yemen? [Interruption.]\nThe advice that I have just received is that if I say yes the appointment is confirmed, but that would be jumping the gun. I am grateful to the right hon. Gentleman for pointing out what I am doing in Yemen, and whatever happens I shall continue to take a lifelong interest in that country.\nI hope that in the next five years we will be able to assist economic prosperity and national unity, have a more comfortable relationship with the EU and retain and build on having an authoritative role for the UK in the middle east and beyond.\nAlex Salmond Shadow SNP Westminster Group Leader (International Affairs and Europe) 4:28 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is always a pleasure to follow Sir Alan Duncan, who spoke graciously, as ever, but when he was listing the institutions in this country that are unsettled by our relationship with European Union he should, I think, have included the Conservative party. After all, he and I were both in the 1992 Parliament in which that unsettling looked to have reached extreme proportions. I fully expect to see a huge amount of unsettling of the Conservative party in this Parliament on the European issue.\nI am happy to contribute to this debate as the lead spokesperson of the Scottish National party for international and European matters. As you noted last week, Mr Speaker, I have brought a few friends along with me since I last spoke in this House to help me out in case I encounter any difficulty. It may help the House if I introduce some members of the SNP team who hope to catch the Speaker\u2019s eye later in the debate.\nMy hon. Friends the Members for Ochil and South Perthshire (Ms Ahmed-Sheikh) and for Glasgow North (Patrick Grady) have the trade and investment and the international development briefs, respectively. They both bring extensive personal knowledge to those briefs.\nThe European brief is handled by my hon. Friend Stephen Gethins, who has already made a very impressive maiden speech, and the climate change brief by my hon. Friend Dr Cameron, who has both a constituency and a personal interest in that hugely important issue.\nMy deputy in these matters will be my hon. Friend Mr MacNeil, who is on his way to join our proceedings by ferry, plane and train. I hope the Hebridean realities of transport will be borne in mind in future by Government Whips when they table Scottish business. I have a great fondness for my hon. Friend. Back in the 2005 election I was convinced that he would romp home in his constituency, so I spent an entire week practising how to pronounce Na h-Eileanan an Iar because I was confident that on election night I would be asked to pronounce it by David Dimbleby or some other interrogator. I went through that entire election night after my hon. Friend romped home and not once was I asked to pronounce the name of the constituency, so hon. Members will forgive me if I mention Na h-Eileanan an Iar a great deal in our coming debates.\nThe team is completed by my hon. Friends the Members for Glenrothes (Peter Grant) and for West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine (Stuart Blair Donaldson). In that 2005 election we had great success. We increased our numbers in this House to six. We now have 56 Members and we intend to make Scotland\u2019s voice heard on international and European affairs across the range of responsibilities.\nI shall contribute today mainly on European matters, but first I want to say a word about Iraq and make a contribution on human rights. I heard this morning on Sky News the American commander say that it is important that we learn the lessons from the fall of Ramadi. That American commander did not seem to share the Foreign Secretary\u2019s complacency about the importance of that development. The American commander seemed to think it was a very important reversal and that lessons would immediately have to be learned. I was surprised that not until provoked by the shadow Foreign Secretary did the Foreign Secretary mention what has been happening over the past few days in Ramadi.\nThese lessons are important to learn and I hope there is no complacency on the part of the Foreign Secretary. If it is important to learn the lessons of what is happening in Ramadi, is it not even more important to learn the lessons of what provoked this nightmare in the first place? It is now 12 years, two months and 13 days since this House voted for the illegal invasion of Iraq. It is five years, 11 months and 14 days since the announcement of the Chilcot commission. I hope that when summarising this debate, the Front-Bench spokesman will be able to give us some indication, after five years, 11 months and 14 days, when the country and Houses of Parliament are going to be informed of the findings of that commission, and whether there has been a foreclosing of any possible legal consequences for those who may or may not be criticised.\nIt is important that we make a serious attempt to learn those lessons. It is less than two years since this House almost voted for a ground incursion in Syria. If that had happened, it is entirely possible that right now British forces\u2014\nI do not think we voted two years ago for a ground incursion in Syria. We voted to keep the military option on the table.\nI said \u201calmost voted for a ground incursion in Syria.\u201d If the Government had not been defeated, make no mistake, there would be an extreme likelihood of British troops in Syria. If British troops had been in Syria at present, they would perhaps have been simultaneously fighting against President Assad and some of the opponents of President Assad. Keeping that option open can be called many things, but it could not be called a coherent military or foreign policy. I hope that we learn the lessons that Chilcot has to teach and that there is a proper examination of that report, and indeed of those whom it might criticise.\nI will make some progress first.\nWill he give way on that point?\nIf the hon. Gentleman will just\u2014Och, I had not realised that it was my old friend and colleague. Please.\nI am very grateful. On the question of learning lessons, it is now 15 years since Milo\u0161evic was removed from Kosovo. Does the right hon. Gentleman recall saying in 1999 that it was unpardonable folly to bomb Serbian forces in order to stop ethnic cleansing in Kosovo? Does he now accept that he was wrong and that that is a lesson he has learned?\nMay I just refresh the hon. Gentleman\u2019s memory? It was the Serbian people who removed President Milo\u0161evic in an election. The lesson I would learn from that particular episode is the extreme folly of pursing military action without a United Nations mandate. Unfortunately, that lesson was not learned, which is why we have the present nightmare in Iraq.\nOn the European convention on human rights, those of us who were in the Chamber last Thursday afternoon were treated to a remarkable cock-crowing three times for the Justice Secretary. Yvette Cooper questioned him three times about withdrawal from the European convention on human rights, and she got three different answers. First, he said:\n\u201cThe right hon. Lady is getting ever so slightly ahead of herself.\u201d\nSecondly, in the same column in Hansard, he said that she was\n\u201cevasive when asked about immigration numbers\u201d.\nThirdly, when asked,\n\u201cOne simple question: European convention\u2014in or out?\u201d, he said:\n\u201cWe are in the European convention at the moment.\u201d\u2014[Hansard, 28 May 2015; Vol. 596, c. 291-292.]\nThat lack of clarity from the Justice Secretary contrasts with the statement we heard from the Foreign Secretary earlier today, in which he seemed to suggest that the option of withdrawing from the European convention was not on the table. That makes it all the more puzzling to see the headline on the front page of today\u2019s edition of The Daily Telegraph, a newspaper that I will not cite too often in these debates\u2014it lives in a parallel universe as far as Scotland is concerned, but no one can doubt that it has sources deep in the heart of Conservative party. It suggested today that both the Justice Secretary and the Home Secretary were lifting the flag of rebellion and telling the Prime Minister that withdrawal from the European convention was absolutely necessary for fulfilling the objectives of the Conservative party and repatriating the powers of the judiciary. Having heard the Justice Secretary refuse three times to give the answer that the Foreign Secretary gave today, I am interested in how deep these divisions run in the Conservative party.\nI have known the Justice Secretary for many years, since he was a striking young journalist on The Press and Journal. I am not talking about his copy; he was literally on strike at the time, on a picket line. I remember the occasion well. It was 1989 and he was clutching a copy of the Socialist Worker, or perhaps is was \u201cDas Kapital\u201d\u2014it could have been any one of a range of publications. What I do remember is that on that occasion he was eloquently in favour or both human and workers\u2019 rights.\nI must declare an interest, as I now write a column for The Press and Journal. I have encountered no bullying behaviour by management there in recent years, but that was not the case for the Justice Secretary. I recently came across an article from The Guardian on 5 October 2012, in which the then father of the chapel, Iain Campbell, wrote very favourably about the Justice Secretary. He wrote:\n\u201cWe knew he was a Tory, and our concern was to have a united front. So we spoke to Michael, and he was happy to come on board. He wasn\u2019t a typical striker by any means, but he was very articulate, so we asked Michael to come to the European parliament in Strasbourg to lobby MEPs.\u201d\nI accept that the Justice Secretary was a young man at the time, but it is pretty clear that back then he was asserting for himself human and workers\u2019 rights that as Justice Secretary, as regards the European convention and his attitude to trade union legislation, he now seems intent on denying to others. It is therefore reasonable to ask to have clarified in early course whether the Conservative party and the Government stand behind the Justice Secretary and the Home Secretary, or whether the more loyal expression of Europeanism we heard from the Foreign Secretary carries the Cabinet at the present moment.\nThe implications of withdrawing from the European convention or revoking the Human Rights Act are of course serious. There is no majority in this House for withdrawal and no majority in the House of Lords for withdrawal. There is absolute opposition in the Scottish Parliament, where the European convention\u2014the Human Rights Act\u2014is embedded into the devolution legislation. There is little support for it in Northern Ireland, where the European convention is part and parcel of the\nGood Friday and St Andrews agreements. With all that clearly impinging on the Government\u2019s abilities, then surely it is time to abandon this nonsense of reneging on these obligations to human rights.\nI am not certain that many Members will know this, but there is in the Strasbourg Court a framed copy of the Declaration of Arbroath. There are also, if I remember correctly, plaques to Ernest Bevin and to Winston Churchill in the walkway to the Strasbourg Court. It is at least arguable that many of the justices in the Strasbourg Court know rather more about the Scottish legal system than many Members of this House. There would be huge implications for how our legal system, our Parliament and our society relate to the European convention, even if the rather sleekit option were pursued of revoking the Act as opposed to withdrawing from the convention.\nI want to turn to the European issue. In the past few days, the Prime Minister embarked on a grand tour of Europe, although as far as I can make out only four European capitals were visited over the weekend. However, I did see a favourable release on his activities saying that he had breakfasted in one capital, lunched in a second and dined in a third. Never have so many menus been translated for any single Prime Minister in history. It was considered a success that the German Chancellor seemed to indicate that it was not impossible that a treaty change could be effected. Therefore, in fairness, on the conclusion of this debate, we should be told by the Government whether a treaty change is the objective of the negotiations. What is the treaty change that the Government want to see effected? I would rather hope that it is a treaty change to substantially change the common fisheries policy. I would support that treaty change, but I have not seen the Prime Minister mentioning the common fisheries recently in any of his utterances. We should be clear what is the treaty change that the Government seek and the German Chancellor seemed to indicate might, under some circumstances, be possible.\nWhat is the Government\u2019s negotiating position? We are told that negotiations have started, with the whirlwind tour of the Chancellor and the Prime Minister of European capitals, but what is the negotiating position? Are we going to be told the negotiating position after the negotiations have taken place? If my memory does not betray me, in the 18th century there was launched in the South sea bubble a company whose purposes were to be hereafter determined. The Prime Minister seems to have launched a negotiation whose purposes will be hereafter determined. The endgame in the South sea bubble was that it burst, and I think that the Prime Minister\u2019s European negotiations will burst as well.\nIt may help the right hon. Gentleman to know that Business for Britain has very helpfully laid out 10 points of the Prime Minister\u2019s negotiating strategy and anyone can read that.\nNow we have it! Business for Britain is now the European Secretary of the Conservative party in government. When we want to ask questions in the House, we do not ask the Foreign Secretary or the Prime Minister\u2014we summon Business for Britain to tell us how on earth they are going to effect a European strategy. I know the Conservative party is interested in subcontracting and contracting out, but I have never heard of an entire policy being subcontracted out to\nBusiness for Britain. If I may say so, unless we are going to create a new Ministry, I think that instead of Business for Britain, it would be better to have a rather more accountable organisation, if Members of Parliament are to question policy.\nTalking of questions, I notice that in the referendum question\u2014we have the question before we know the negotiation strategy, never mind the results of the strategy\u2014there is no actual mention of negotiation. Is that not to be in the question? When the Electoral Commission looks at the question, will that be debated?\nI learned earlier, in an interesting exchange, that the Labour party in Westminster, as opposed to the Labour party in Scotland, does not believe that the 100,000-plus European citizens in Scotland should be entitled to vote in a European referendum. Christian Allard is a Member of the Scottish Parliament\u2014he is a regional Member for the north-east of Scotland\u2014and a French citizen. He has been in Scotland for the better part of quarter of a century, paying his taxes and working hard, but he is to be deprived of his vote in a European referendum while Members of the House of Lords are to be given the vote. I know the Conservative party, in terms of its attitude to the European convention, is very wary of prisoners being given the vote, but now ex-prisoners in the House of Lords are to be given the vote in a European referendum while Christian Allard will have his taken away.\nI say to Labour Front Benchers that the whole purpose of giving European citizens and citizens of other countries resident in Scotland the vote in the Scottish referendum was to say that such matters should be taken civically\u2014not according to nationality or ethnicity\u2014by communities of the nation.\nThe shadow Foreign Secretary, Hilary Benn managed, in the course of one speech, to disagree with the acting leader of the Labour party in Scotland on the issue of who should vote in the referendum, and with the one remaining Labour MP from Scotland, Ian Murray, who is opposed\u2014he confirmed this to me by nodding only last Thursday\u2014to the renewal of the Trident nuclear deterrent. I have heard of splits in political parties, but for the right hon. Gentleman, in the course of a single speech, to open up a division between the leader of the Labour party in Scotland, who has not even been elected yet, and his colleague the hon. Member for Edinburgh South\u2014a member of the shadow Cabinet\u2014on the issue of the renewal of the Trident system is a remarkable achievement by a party that is trying to bind up the wounds of a divided election campaign. On the issue of Europe, there are important questions that require to be answered.\nThe right hon. Gentleman has spoken eloquently about the need for clear answers to clear questions in this place. I saw him and his SNP colleagues wearing a beautiful buttonhole on the day of the Queen\u2019s Speech. They had all the appearance of a wedding party, so I hope that divorce is now out of the question. Will he confirm that the issue of Scottish independence has been settled for a generation?\nThe white rose worn for the Queen\u2019s Speech was, of course, the white rose of Scotland. I will send the hon. Gentleman a copy of the poem by HughMacDiarmid, which I am sure he will find very interesting.\nOn the question of the Scottish referendum, the First Minister has been very clear. It depends on two things: first, the reaction of the Prime Minister and, indeed, the Foreign Secretary to the overwhelming mandate received by the Scottish National party a few weeks ago in the election; and, secondly, the attitude of the Scottish people and how they react to the material change in circumstances that would occur if, for example, Scotland was dragged out of the European Union against the will of the Scottish people.\nOn the question of the European referendum and how it can be won, the very worst thing that could happen to the yes campaign to stay in Europe would be for a parade of the Chancellor\u2019s establishment flunkies to tell the people of the country that they cannot possibly withdraw from and survive outside of the European Union. I am a European Union supporter to my fingertips, but I would never countenance, or see an argument for, a parade of the establishment saying it would be impossible for the UK not to be in the European Union. That sort of top-down establishment campaign would be a great source of grievance and would be likely to bring about a counter-reaction from any self-respecting person.\nI give way to an extremely self-respecting person.\nDoes the right hon. Gentleman therefore think it would be appropriate for the Foreign Affairs Committee of this House to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of both the options\u2014of staying in and of leaving the European Union\u2014so that the House is informed by a Committee that could not possibly come to an agreement unless it properly reflects the balance of opinion in this House, rather than to leave it to the organs of Government, as he warns?\nThe hon. Gentleman makes an excellent proposal, to which the House should pay very close attention. The last thing we need is some cost-benefit analysis carried out by Sir Nicholas Macpherson at the political behest of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The benefit of a Select Committee doing so is that would require an analysis across all shades of opinion on the issue, and such an analysis would therefore carry much more authority than any set analysis, or any following of, the rather poor precedent taken in the Scottish referendum campaign, which, as Paul Flynn has quite rightly pointed out, compromised the integrity of the civil service. I hope that the House has listened very closely to the suggestion from Crispin Blunt.\nIf people are fighting a yes campaign, it has to be a root-and-branch yes campaign; it cannot be a campaign based not on what Europe should be doing, but on stopping Europe doing other things. It has to be a genuine, positive yes campaign; otherwise the message is hopeless and conflicting.\nThe SNP Members and party want to see positive things from Europe. We want a Europe that deals with the migrant crisis and the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean. We want a Europe where the living wage is promoted as part of a social Europe, not impeded by competition policy. We want a Europe that acts on climate change, as opposed to losing its credibility by inaction on climate change, as one of the European Parliament\u2019s Committees recently said. It is on that positive Scottish campaign\u2014the Scotland in Europe campaign\u2014that we on these Benches and in this party will found our arguments, which will be vastly and overwhelmingly supported in the referendum by the people of Scotland.\nGerald Howarth Conservative, Aldershot 4:52 pm, 1st June 2015\nI am delighted to follow Alex Salmond, whom I welcome back. He is a formidable operator, but I am sure I am not alone in finding it quaint that he devoted so much of his speech to making the case for Scotland remaining wedded to the European Union at the same time as wishing to break up the United Kingdom. It simply does not make sense, but he will no doubt argue that corner with vigour in due course.\nI must say that it is a great relief to sit on these Benches as part of a Conservative Government for the first time since 1992, 23 years ago. The majority is small, but it is a majority, sparing the nation the prospect of another Labour Government committed to a policy of spend, tax and borrow. It is particularly pleasing to see so many new colleagues sitting around me, not least my successor in Cannock Chase, my hon. Friend Amanda Milling, who did fantastically well and follows our good friend Aidan Burley in that seat. I of course pay special tribute to my son-in-law, my hon. Friend James Cartlidge, who brings a wealth of political as well as business experience to the House. He will be the beneficiary of advice from his wife Emily, just as I have been from her mother for the past 30 years.\nI have been delighted and humbled to be able to secure my fifth mandate from the electors of the Aldershot constituency, who did me the honour of giving me more than 50% of the vote for the first time in eight general elections. For us, with the largest Nepalese population in the United Kingdom, the election period was of course marred by the earthquake tragedy in Nepal. However, I am pleased to say that people rallied round fantastically, delivering bedding and clothing to local Nepalese welfare centres and raising thousands of pounds for the victims, not least the \u00a322,000 raised in just three days by the local Rotary clubs, a collection I and my Labour opponent Gary Puffett joined in. It is a great pity that Joanna Lumley could not see that and chose instead to insult the good people of Aldershot, for which she should apologise publicly.\nImmigration was the No. 1 issue at the election, and I welcome the renewed vigour shown in tackling it, but we must be more determined. Our services simply cannot continue to accommodate a quarter of a million new arrivals a year, quite apart from the serious cultural issues arising from people taking advantage of our liberal society while seeking to impose their medieval ways on us. We are a Christian country: if you despise our Christian values, please leave and go somewhere else.\nConstitutional issues abound in the Gracious Speech, and we have heard about some of them already. I welcome many of the measures, not least the Prime\nMinister\u2019s fulfilment of his promise to hold a referendum on the United Kingdom\u2019s membership of the European Union. So many people in the country doubted his word on that, but he gave his word, and he has fulfilled it. The people of Britain will decide, not the Government of the day. The Prime Minister is right to seek to renegotiate, but the issue is way beyond tinkering with provisions for benefit claimants. He really needs to press the case he outlined in his Bloomberg speech two years ago. As he said, it is\n\u201cnational parliaments\u2026which are\u2026the true source of real democratic legitimacy and accountability in the EU.\u201d\nAs my great friend Daniel Hannan, a Member of the European Parliament, said:\n\u201cWe could amend Sections 2 and 3 of the 1972 European Communities Act to reassert the supremacy of Parliament. We could make clear that, in any conflict between Westminster and Brussels, Westminster has the final word.\u201d\nThis year, as we mark the 750th anniversary of Simon de Montfort\u2019s first Parliament, we in this House must have the final say on implementing EU legislation.\nOn the Human Rights Act, I shall simply say that it is wrong for judges in Strasbourg to decide matters that should properly be decided here. For 750 years, this has been the place where the redress of grievance has ultimately resided. It is simply unacceptable that a convention designed to prevent a repetition of the holocaust has been subverted to prevent us from deporting people who have no right to be in the UK or to demand that we give prisoners the vote. I therefore hope the Prime Minister will not backtrack on his commitment.\nI particularly welcome the Government\u2019s explicit commitment to continue to play a leading role in global affairs and, to quote from the Gracious Speech, to\n\u201cdo whatever is necessary to ensure that our courageous armed forces can keep Britain safe.\u201d\nThose are fine sentiments, and they are wholly compatible with the deeply embedded Conservative philosophy that the first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. However, words alone are not enough. We in the United Kingdom face a series of potential threats to our kingdom and to our broader interests around the world. As the Foreign Secretary said, our prosperity relies on trade, but for trade to flourish we need international stability.\nRussia continues to rebuild its military might. It is constantly testing our air defences and endeavouring to track our nuclear deterrent. President Putin\u2019s overt military intervention in Ukraine, where he has been able to annex territory with impunity, has emboldened him, although I note that I am not on his list of prohibited people, so perhaps I should make a diplomatic visit to Moscow.\nAngus Robertson Shadow SNP Westminster Group Leader\nIs the hon. Gentleman not embarrassed by his Government\u2019s record on defence, given that the UK is the only northern European country with a significant armed force not to have a single maritime patrol aircraft?\nThe hon. Gentleman knows my view, and I will repeat it in a moment.\nI was talking about the threats we face, and Islamic fundamentalism, in the form of ISIL or whatever my hon. Friends think we should call it, is another. ISIL threatens massive instability in the middle east, a region in which, as my right hon. Friend Sir Alan Duncan knows only too well, the United Kingdom has unparalleled experience, and which is vital to the stability of the world economy.\nOther issues include Iran\u2019s nuclear ambitions, North Korea and China, which is building its military capability while flexing its muscles by threatening Japan\u2019s airspace and by persistently building airfields and port facilities on uninhabited and disputed islands, such as the Spratly islands in the South China sea. I particularly welcome US Defence Secretary Ash Carter\u2019s rebuke to China this weekend, which illustrates that the US is aware of the threat to regional stability from China\u2019s aggressive, expansionist policies. I have consistently warned of the dangers arising from China\u2019s policy and sought to remind my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary, formerly the Secretary of State for Defence, that the United Kingdom has a locus in this matter.\nUnder the five power defence arrangements, Britain, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand undertook that\n\u201cin the event of any form of armed attack externally organised or supported, or the threat of such attack against Malaysia or Singapore, their Governments would immediately consult together for the purpose of deciding what measures should be taken jointly or separately in relation to such an attack or threat.\u201d\nCommitment to the FPDA was renewed on its 40th anniversary three years ago. My own discussions last year, with my friend the Malaysian Home Affairs Minister Ahmad Zahid, confirmed that Malaysia still values the United Kingdom\u2019s regional involvement.\nThe uncertain and potentially very dangerous international situation invests the forthcoming strategic defence and security review with crucial significance. The 2010 SDSR\u2014for which, as a Minister at the time, I held some responsibility\u2014was inevitably Treasury-driven. It had to be: we inherited a catastrophic budget deficit of \u00a3156 billion, which required an urgent comprehensive spending review if we were to reassure the international capital markets that we had a serious plan to cut the deficit. Thankfully, we have made progress, so the financial constraints on our military must be relaxed if we are to meet the \u201cwhatever is necessary\u201d tag in the Gracious Speech, including the renewal of our Trident nuclear deterrent.\nI have repeatedly expressed alarm that my party has failed to make a commitment to spending at least 2% of GDP on Defence, as required under our membership of NATO. It has been bizarre to witness the Prime Minister quite rightly chastising those European members of the alliance for failing to meet the 2% target, yet refusing to commit the UK to it. We only just currently meet the target and the House of Commons Library warns that Defence spending is likely to fall to 1.9%.\nThis is not an academic issue. We face another Budget next month. We are told that various Departments, such as those for overseas aid, health and education, have been ring-fenced. I read over the weekend that the Ministry of Defence is being asked to find a further \u00a31 billion of cuts. The Prime Minister has rightly ruled out any further reductions in Regular Army numbers from the already perilously low 82,000, so where else are the savings to be made? The Royal Navy is down to 19 frigates and destroyers. Would savings be made by reducing that further by ordering fewer than 13 Type 26 global combat ships to succeed the Type 23 frigates? The RAF is down to seven frontline fighter squadrons\u2014it would have been six if my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence had not insisted that one Tornado squadron be reprieved. Further cuts here? Our lack of a maritime patrol aircraft is a national scandal that not only places us in breach of our International Civil Aviation Organisation obligations for eastern Atlantic search and rescue, but puts at risk our very nuclear deterrent. This capability gap must be plugged immediately.\nIt is not just the impact on our own self-defence which is at stake. As has been referred to by a number of right hon. and hon. Members, in particular the shadow Foreign Secretary, a succession of US leaders have expressed alarm similar to my own. This very day, US Defence Secretary Ash Carter said it would be a\n\u201cgreat loss to the world\u201d if the UK chose to disengage. His concerns follow those expressed by the head of the US Army, General Odierno, not just this year but two years ago on his appointment. The United Kingdom needs to take this very seriously indeed. The relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is our most important international arrangement.\nAny further cuts would damage our ability to respond to threats to the UK and risk irreparable damage to our relationship with our key ally, the US. Accordingly, I plead with the Chancellor to reassert proper Tory priorities and give the Ministry of Defence the funds it needs to rebuild our country\u2019s defence capability.\nGerald Kaufman Father of the House of Commons 5:03 pm, 1st June 2015\nI thank you, Mr Speaker, and right hon. and hon. Members on both sides of the House for the courtesy they have shown me since the start of this Parliament. May I also make clear that I owe my role here to my constituents, who gave me the biggest majority since the Gorton constituency was founded in 1885? I never forget that I am only here because of them.\nIn this Parliament, as in previous Parliaments, I will continue to concentrate on the basic issues\u2014the national health service, jobs, schools, pensions, law and order and housing\u2014that mean so much to my constituents. They made it clear during the election that they support my being involved in overseas issues as well, especially Kashmir and Palestine. Those two issues are the oldest unsolved problems on the planet. They date back to 1947 and 1948 respectively, and Britain has a particular role in both because of the consequences of the partition of India in 1947 and the consequences of the end of the British mandate in Palestine in 1948. On both of them, as well as on many other issues that have been discussed in this debate, there is unfinished business from the last Parliament. We cannot afford to waste another five years, as those two vital issues are issues of life and death for millions.\nThe adherence of Jammu and Kashmir to India was not decided by the head of state until two months after India and Pakistan became independent, in October 1947. It was an illogical decision, in view of the preponderance of Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir.\nHowever, it was India and Pandit Nehru who took that to the United Nations. The Governor-General of India, Lord Mountbatten, had been Viceroy of India and was very close to the Indian Government, but he believed that the consequence should be a referendum of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Sixty-eight years later, we are still waiting for that referendum, but in those 68 years there have been three wars between India and Pakistan. Both countries are nuclear powers and the head of the CIA told the US Senate that the confrontation between India and Pakistan over Jammu and Kashmir was the most dangerous flashpoint in the world.\nIndia has 500,000 or more troops in Jammu and Kashmir, despite the enormous poverty suffered by huge numbers of Indian citizens. Since the partition, which was a result of fighting between the two countries, there has been torture\u2014a Channel 4 documentary showed the torture of Kashmiris by the Indians\u2014as well as rape, killing and destruction. When I went to Srinagar, people lined up for seven hours to tell me about what they had suffered. Yet the international community stands aside from this horror and from this flashpoint. It has to be said that this Government specifically have stood aside from it, with the Minister responsible saying that the Government do not intend to get involved in the Kashmir issue.\nThe Government cannot and must not stand aside for another five years. Only a few days ago, India\u2019s Internal Affairs Minister refused to negotiate. It is essential that we make our presence and our policies felt and that those are the right policies. We should not take sides between India and Pakistan. We should take the side of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, who have the right to decide their own future.\nThe problem of Palestine has existed since May 1948. It began with the creation of Israel and what the people of Palestine call the Nakba\u2014the catastrophe. After the six day war in 1967, there was a huge upheaval. Refugees fled across the Jordan. There are refugee camps in Jordan, on the west bank, in Lebanon\u2014dreadful, appalling conditions there\u2014and in Syria, too, where people are going through incredible traumas.\nHaving created the refugee problem, the Israelis have followed up by building hundreds of settlements\u2014every one of them illegal\u2014in the occupied territories; by fighting a war that is also illegal; and by setting up checkpoints that make it almost impossible for Palestinians to travel freely around what is supposed to be their own country. In addition, there have been two intifadas\u2014uprisings\u2014and three fruitless Israeli military attacks on the Gaza strip resulting in thousands of casualties, including huge numbers of civilians, and the intolerable destruction of homes, schools and the Palestinian Parliament in Gaza itself, none of which can be properly reconstructed because of the Israeli blockade of what the Prime Minister himself called the \u201cprison camp\u201d in Gaza.\nEfforts have been made, but they are being abandoned. Tony Blair has resigned as the envoy of the Quartet and John Kerry, who has just suffered a dreadful accident, made an enormous effort, as United States Secretary of State, but was not given the backing of President Obama. The situation is now more immobile than it has been for decades. One reason is that Israel now has the most extremist Government in its entire existence. On election day in Israel a few weeks ago, Prime Minister Netanyahu referred, in a racist statement, to the \u201chordes\u201d of Palestinians going by bus to vote. He refused and threw himself back from any notion of a two-state solution, yet the UK Government support Israel proactively.\nThe Foreign Secretary talked about what he called the Government\u2019s work for the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, yet last month, at the nuclear non-proliferation review conference, an attempt to hold a conference next year to review the situation of non-proliferation in the middle east was blocked by three countries\u2014it was blocked by the United States, by Canada and by the British Foreign Office, whose Foreign Secretary today claimed to be working for non-proliferation.\nAs the Foreign Secretary mentioned, this country makes a huge commotion about wanting to stop Iran gaining nuclear weapons. Well, I am against Iran gaining nuclear weapons, and I am against the Iranian Government, which are one of the most odious in the world. Yet there is no evidence\u2014a book was written about this by a journalist from The Daily Telegraph not long ago\u2014to show that Iran is preparing to obtain nuclear weapons. It is nevertheless right to try to prevent it from doing so, but Israel has nuclear weapons. Israel has hundreds of nuclear warheads and hundreds of missiles in the Negev, in what used to be called the Dimona textile factory, yet no action is being taken. Iran is a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, but Israel refuses to sign it. Yet this Government support that nuclear power\u2019s refusal to participate in talks. The non-proliferation treaty is the most widely subscribed to disarmament treaty in world history, yet Israel refuses to sign it.\nI therefore say that this Parliament must see a new United Kingdom policy on Palestine and Israel. This House voted last October by an overwhelming majority to recognise the Palestinian state. The Government have shuffled aside a position on that, so I am very pleased that my right hon. Friend the shadow Foreign Secretary has today reaffirmed that recognition continues to be the official policy of the Labour party.\nA solution is in Israel\u2019s interests just as much as it is in the interests of the Palestinians, because the Israelis will never know peace and security until there is a settlement. The only alternative to the two-state solution is a one-state solution. With the number of Palestinians set to outnumber the number of Israeli Jews, a one-state solution would not necessarily be an Israel. It is essential for the Israelis to get a negotiated settlement. For the Israelis, for the Palestinians and for peace, this House must make itself felt during this Parliament. This House must make a difference.\nJulian Lewis Conservative, New Forest East 5:17 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is with real pleasure that I note that becoming Father of the House has done nothing to dampen, soften or ameliorate the rigour with which Sir Gerald Kaufman pursues his causes. Indeed, I recall that, many years before I entered the House, in the period of 1988 to 1991, when the right hon. Gentleman was shadow Foreign Secretary, I greatly admired the skill with which he manoeuvred to try to extricate the Labour party from some difficult defence positions in which it had managed to entangle itself. I am sure he will feel some satisfaction at that achievement, even though\u2014sadly from his point of view\u2014he still has to address the Government from the Opposition Benches.\nI want to say a few words of appreciation for the electors of New Forest East, who did me the honour of electing me for the fifth time since the seat was created\u2014[Hon. Members: \u201cHear, Hear\u201d.] I am pleased to get such ringing endorsement from my colleagues. As well as thanking the electors, I would like to pay tribute to the candidates of the four other parties that competed in the election, who, without exception, conducted themselves with good humour and integrity. It was pleasant to take part in a general election on that basis.\nIt was notable that Hilary Benn repeatedly asked \u201cWho would have thought this would have arisen?\u201d, \u201cWho would have thought that would have arisen?\u201d, and \u201cWho would have thought the other would have arisen?\u201d In making those rhetorical observations, the right hon. Gentleman arrived at the heart of the problem that affects defence policy in times of peace. In times of peace, those who try to predict the way in which peaceful times will be disrupted will almost invariably fail. Invariably, when conflict arises, there is little or no warning. That is why, in peacetime, it is always a struggle to persuade the Government of the day that they ought to invest as much in defence as defence-minded Members of Parliament would like.\nIn my brief remarks, I shall touch on just three topics: decision making in defence, the nature of defence reviews, and the issue of NATO and deterrence. Decision making in defence has suffered in recent times. It is no exaggeration to say that the chiefs of staff have become the chief executives rather than the heads of their services, and that is not good for defence and strategic planning.\nIn a report published just before the election, which therefore was not given the attention it might otherwise have received, the Defence Committee said that\n\u201cthe\u2026Chiefs of Staff Committee is too detached from the central policy-making process in the MoD and also, crucially, from the NSC\u201d\n\u2014that is, the National Security Council. We recommended\n\u201cthat the roles of the Chief of Staff should be redefined to give greater weight to their function as strategy advisors. We recommend that the Chiefs of Staff\u2026should become the official military sub-committee of the NSC, in order to tender to it joint military advice\u201d.\nThat is important, because in recent decades too much responsibility for the tendering of strategic advice has fallen on the shoulders of the Chief of the Defence staff, his vice-chief, and the Chief of Joint Operations. A more effective vehicle is one in which the heads of the armed services sit in committees and tender joint strategic advice to the politicians. I believe that that partly explains why some of the decisions made by those politicians have been rather shallower, and certainly more reactive to events, than they ought to have been.\nThe second aspect of decision-making difficulty arises from what has happened in the higher reaches of the civil service. There is a parallel with the arrangement whereby someone can become head of the Royal Navy, the Army or the Royal Air Force, but end up with no major role in the tendering of strategic advice. People are no longer required to be domain-competent to hold the highest jobs in individual Departments. In other words, someone can rise to very near the top of one Department, and if a vacancy arises for a permanent under-secretary in, for example, the Ministry of Defence, the person\u2019s next promotion can be to that post, although he or she may have absolutely no defence background.\nJust like Ministers.\nJulian Lewis Conservative, New Forest East\nWe, however, rely on the combination that involves lay people who become Ministers being guided by the expertise of the professional civil service. Now, the civil service has adopted a policy of opening up the possibility of more top jobs to its most high-flying people, but if they are not to be the experts, who is?\nI shall now say something about my second topic\u2014the nature of defence reviews\u2014which may not make me entirely popular with those my own side. I have said it before, and I intend to go on saying it: the 1997-98 Labour strategic defence review went about things in a better fashion than our review did in 2010. My hon. Friend Sir Gerald Howarth was good enough to acknowledge that ours was Treasury-driven. By gum, yes, it was.\nOf course I will, but only briefly.\nIs it not a fact that the Labour Government\u2019s review, which took about a year and a half, had a foreign policy focus at its centre and was not just about bean counting?\nThe answer is yes, and the hon. Gentleman has saved me from uttering the sentence I was going to utter next, but the point about that review, of course, is that although it was truly strategic, it was not properly funded. Ours went to the other extreme of being properly funded but not truly strategic. We have to try to get a balance between those two methods.\nI would just observe that, having conducted their review, the Labour Government went on to overstretch our armed forces in conflicts that did not comply with the review itself, and not only that, but they seem to have put in place at least the precursor military operations to the mess we now have. They seem to have been a thoroughgoing failure.\nWhile not disagreeing with my hon. Friend, I am trying to explain to the House the means of conducting the review. That is the point I am interested in\u2014not the way in which Labour may afterwards have carried out its defence and foreign policies, about which I would have a large measure of agreement with my hon. Friend. The fact is, it is one thing to fail to live up to a good plan, but it is another not to have a good plan in the first place; and if we want to have a good plan, we need to take our time over the strategic defence and security review, and not rush it, and not simply say, \u201cYou\u2019ve got X amount of money; how much defence can you give us for that sum?\u201d\nI want to say a quick word about NATO and deterrence. We have heard a lot about the 2% and I do not intend to waste the House\u2019s time by reiterating the arguments we have all heard many times, but I would just make one point on the subject: the 2% is not a target, it is a minimum, and therefore there should be no question of our failing to meet the minimum. The question is how much above that minimum we can safely manage to use as the basis for the future shape and size of our armed forces.\nBut does my right hon. Friend not acknowledge that perhaps the bigger challenge is the fact that 26 members of NATO are nowhere near meeting the 2%, so, regardless of what we do, is it not imperative that we influence those other nations to reach that commitment in the first place?\nThat is a very good point, because even when I said that it is not a target but a minimum I was debating whether to add the sub-clause \u201cbut it is of course a target for those countries that have not even met it.\u201d My hon. Friend is absolutely right: if we stop what we have done consistently, which is comfortably to meet, and indeed exceed, that minimum, what sort of a disincentive is it to other states\u2014for whom it is an aspiration yet to be achieved\u2014when they see we are beginning to lose our grip of our own hitherto much more successful allocation of resources to defence?\nWe should also remind ourselves that every Government say defence is the first duty of Government. If so, it does not make sense to ring-fence other areas of Government and not to protect defence. If we are going to do that, then come clean and say, \u201cOkay, it isn\u2019t the first duty of Government any more\u201d and try to defend taking that position. I do not like this selective ring-fencing of different Departments. A Government ought to have the guts to order their priorities, to set them out, and to stand up in the House of Commons and defend them.\nFinally, I just want to say a word about deterrence. I am talking not about nuclear deterrence\u2014unless provoked, the word Trident shall not pass my lips\u2014but about deterrence in the context of the very sad situation whereby Russia, whom we all hoped would continue down the democratic path, has decided to revert, if not to a permanent type, to a type that was all too familiar to us during the cold war years. We see that not only in its behaviour in Ukraine but in the way in which opponents of the regime are being assassinated. We recently had the assassination of Boris Nemtsov, and now we find that Vladimir Kara-Murza, who was a close associate of Boris Nemtsov, has been suddenly struck down with a very serious and undiagnosed illness and is now fighting for his life in a Moscow hospital. Those are not the features that we wish to see in a modern state that wants to play its part on the world stage; they are more of a reversion to a type of regime that held the world at bay for more than 50 years. We hoped that we were entering a new era after the events of 1989 and 1991 so, when we are deciding our priorities, let us remember that in the dark years of the cold war we thought it necessary to spend between 4% and 5% of GDP on defence. I am not calling for that now, but I am certainly calling for us comfortably to exceed the NATO-recommended minimum. I hope that mine will not be the only voice on either side of the House, and I am sure it will not be, saying that we must meet that obligation and carry out our commitment so that the peace that Europe has enjoyed for so long can continue indefinitely.\nJeremy Corbyn Labour, Islington North 5:31 pm, 1st June 2015\nI congratulate you, Mr Speaker, on your re-election as Speaker of the House. I also put on record my deep thanks to the people of Islington North for electing me to Parliament for the eighth time and for their support. I pledge to represent them on all issues, and I hope that in this Parliament we begin to see some justice for them, particularly on issues relating to housing and to the poverty levels that are sadly so rife and serious in much of inner-city Britain.\nThis debate is on the sections of the Queen\u2019s Speech covering international affairs, and I pay tribute to my right hon. Friend Hilary Benn, particularly for the latter part of his speech in which he pointed out the issues facing the globe. The wars of the future will largely be about resources, water, food and food security. We have to face up to global inequality and the widening chasm between the wealth of the minority in the wealthiest countries and the poverty of the majority in the poorest countries of the world. If we are complaining about refugee flows at the present time\u2014awful as the conditions from which those people are escaping are, and tragic as the deaths in the Mediterranean, the Andaman sea and elsewhere are\u2014the situation will get worse as global inequality becomes greater, particularly on issues of food and environmental security. We have to be far more serious about how we approach inequality.\nDr Lewis and I have a slightly different view of the way in which the world should be run, as I think he would be the first to acknowledge. Is he, and anyone else who proposes this measure, really serious in saying that the most important thing facing Britain is not only to get up to spending 2% of gross national income on defence but, in some cases, to consider going above that level and to insist that every other NATO country does the same? We would then have a built-in accelerator of arms expenditure in a world that is already a very dangerous place. Can we not think of a way of solving the world\u2019s problems other than more weapons and more wars, and more disasters that follow from them? Can we not pursue a serious agenda for peace?\nI heard on the radio this morning that the US Defence Secretary is very concerned about Britain\u2019s position in the world and that we might be becoming a laggard\u2014he wants us to boost our expenditure. Presumably, the US is giving the same message everywhere else, so that it can carry on influencing NATO policies, including in Europe, while building up its military might all over the Asia-Pacific region, which in turn encourages China to do exactly the same, just as NATO expansion eastwards has been paralleled by increasing Russian expenditure. Surely we need a world dedicated to disarmament and rolling down the security threat rather than increasing it. I see a huge danger developing in the current military thinking.\nMy hon. Friend Mike Gapes made a point about Labour\u2019s strategic defence review, which largely included a foreign policy review. I agree that we do not just need a strategic defence review; we need a serious foreign policy review to apprise ourselves as to what our position and status in the world actually is. We once had an empire, but we no longer have one\u2014that might be news to some Government Members, but I can let them know it in the confidence of this Chamber. Our influence in the world ought to be for good, peace, human rights, environmental protection and narrowing global inequality. We might delude ourselves that the rest of the world love us\u2014they do not. They think we have a predilection towards arms, intervention and wars, as we did in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.\nLet us think about what influence in the world is about. Last week or the week before, I was in New York for the last two days of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty review conference. It was a desperately sad occasion, as Britain and the other permanent members of the Security Council lined up together to protect their expenditure on and the holding of nuclear weapons. They did not do anything positive to bring about a good resolution of that conference, and no good resolution has come out of it. A conference on a weapons of mass destruction-free zone in the middle east, first called for more than a decade ago, still has not happened. Because it has not happened, encouragement is given to proliferation by other wealthy countries in the region that could afford to buy nuclear technology and develop it. Why is the UK not helpful on this issue? Why do we not accept that, as my right hon. Friend Sir Gerald Kaufman pointed out, the non-proliferation treaty is the most supported treaty anywhere in the world?\nThat treaty has reduced the spread of nuclear weapons. It has not completely eliminated it, as India, Pakistan, North Korea and Israel have nuclear weapons outside that treaty, but the countries that gave up nuclear weapons have some clout in the world. The respect with which South Africa was listened to at the conference because it is the most industrialised country to have specifically given up nuclear weapons was interesting. Abdul Minty, its representative at the conference, was treated with enormous respect. He pointed out that the conferences on the humanitarian effects of war held in Vienna, Mexico and Norway had all shown exactly how dangerous nuclear weapons are. So why are proposing to spend \u00a3100 billion replacing the Trident nuclear missile system when we could be doing something far more useful in the world?\nI do not have much time, so I shall briefly cover the other points I want to mention. I have talked about intervention and wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, and I ask the Foreign Secretary or, as he is not in his place, the Foreign Office to reply. When are we going to see the Chilcot report published? When are we going to know the truth of the Iraq war? This is the third Parliament since there was, tragically, a vote to go to war in Iraq, and we need to learn the lessons. We need to learn the lessons of the abuses of human rights in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya and of the tragedy of the victims of war\u2014all the wars\u2014who have fled, tried to find a place of safety and been greeted with brutal intolerance in many of the places in which they have arrived. There is a refugee crisis around the world that has to be addressed very quickly.\nMy right hon. Friend the Member for Manchester, Gorton talked about the situation in Palestine. Some of those people dying in the Mediterranean are Palestinians; they are the ones who have managed to get out of Gaza or the west bank. There must be serious concern that, after all the horrors that have happened in Gaza\u2014I have been there a number of times\u2014there is still no real rebuilding going on. What message does that send to the poor and unemployed young people of Gaza? They sit amidst the rubble of their existence, watching the rest of the world on their television screens or computers. Surely, real pressure must be put on both Israel and Egypt to lift the blockade of Gaza so at least the rebuilding can take place and there can be some sort of process there for the future.\nI want to draw the Foreign Secretary\u2019s attention to two specific cases. I was on an all-party delegation to the USA\u2014it was a very strange delegation because it included the right hon. Members for Haltemprice and Howden (Mr Davis) and for Sutton Coldfield (Mr Mitchell), my hon. Friend Andy Slaughter and me\u2014to plead the case of Shaker Aamer. It was with some interest that we were received by Senator John McCain who realised that there truly was a breadth of agreement on Shaker Aamer if the four of us could enter his office, as we did the offices of Senator Feinstein and a number of other senators, and make the point that this House of Commons voted with no opposition that we should press for the return of Shaker Aamer to this country.\nShaker Aamer has been in Guantanamo Bay since 2001. He was sold to bounty hunters in 2001, brutally treated in Bagram airbase, and taken by a rendition process to Guantanamo Bay. He has been there on hunger strike and been making other forms of protest ever since. He has never been charged, never been prosecuted and never been through any legal process. He has twice been cleared for release by President Bush and later by President Obama. He has never seen his 13-year-old son whom I had the pleasure to meet when he came to Parliament. I also met him last Friday evening at a meeting in Battersea, at which we called for his father\u2019s return and release. The meeting was also attended by Jane Ellison. Will the Foreign Office undertake to follow up our visit with real vigour and press the Obama Administration to name the date when Shaker Aamer will be able to come home and join his family in this country? That is the least it can do at the present time.\nThe other case involves my constituent, Andargachew Tsige, who was an opposition figure from Ethiopia. He was kidnapped at Sana\u2019a airport in Yemen and taken to Addis Ababa and has been in prison ever since. He was tried in absentia, sentenced to death and is on death row in an Ethiopian prison. He could not have been extradited there because of the death penalty. No extradition process was ever sought or followed. He is an entirely peaceful person who wants to see peace, democracy and development in Ethiopia. I know that he has been visited by the British ambassador on a couple of occasions. I hope that the Foreign Office will be able to inform me that it is making real progress on his release.\nWe live in a time when there are serious human rights abuses all around the world. I have been an officer of the all-party human rights group ever since I was first elected to this House. The abuse of human rights is legion all around the world; we know that because we all take up many, many such cases. If we as a country leave the European convention on human rights, which is the human rights system in Europe, what message will that send to the rest of the world\u2014that we do not care about human rights and that we do not think they are important? How could we proselytise against human rights abuses or call on countries to improve their human rights process if we are walking away from the international process ourselves? We need a world of peace, not of war. We need a world of human rights and justice, not of injustice and imprisonment. We achieve those things not by greater militarisation but by trying to promote peace, human rights and justice all over the world.\nOrder. A six-minute limit now applies.\nSuella Fernandes Conservative, Fareham 5:44 pm, 1st June 2015\nI feel a real sense of humility speaking after Jeremy Corbyn, who gave an accomplished speech in the best traditions of this House. I congratulate him.\nOn a cold February morning in 1968, a young man, not yet 21, stepped off a plane at Heathrow airport, nervously folding away his one-way ticket from Kenya. He had no family, no friends and was clutching only his most valuable possession, his British passport. His homeland was in political turmoil. Kenya had kicked him out for being British. My father never returned. He made his life here in Britain, starting on the shop floor of a paint factory. My mother, recruited by the NHS in Mauritius as a girl of 18, passed her 45th year of service last year.\nMy family had nothing but hopes and dedication. They were so proud to be British and so proud to make our country even better. If I succeed in making some small contribution during my time in this place, it will reflect only a fraction of my gratitude to this country for the abundance of education, culture and traditions that have made Britain great, for the tolerance and fellowship of the British people, and for the opportunity and liberty that we all enjoy.\nBefore I turn to the subject of today\u2019s debate, I should like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Mark Hoban. Mark served for 14 years in this House and during that time set an example as a conscientious constituency MP and a principled member of the Government. I have met many constituents for whom Mark was an indefatigable campaigner. He set a standard that it would be difficult to match. Mark played an invaluable part in the previous Government, initially as Financial Secretary to the Treasury and latterly as Minister for Employment. His brief covered financial services in the aftermath of the credit crunch and he embraced the challenge of banking reform. As Minister for Employment, he was responsible for Universal Jobmatch, an excellent service matching jobseekers and employers online.\nFollowing Mark is not only daunting but inspiring. I will be a strong voice for Fareham. More than 1,000 young people travel too far for A-levels, and I hope to see more sixth-form provision within the constituency. As an increasing and ageing population puts pressure on local GP services, schools and roads, I plan to be an advocate for all my constituents as we face the challenge of building more homes.\nFareham is nestled on the Solent coastline between Portsmouth and Southampton. In the south of the constituency lies Titchfield, famous for its abbey. It is on the route to the Isle of Wight, and monarchs often visited. In 1625, Charles I, just married, arrived with his new bride, the French Princess Henrietta Maria. It was the 17th century equivalent of a honeymoon. However, all was not well between the newlyweds: instead of their enjoying the first days of a new life together, arguments that had been brewing between the French and English courts came to a head in Titchfield. Disputes about status, religion and money culminated in melodramatic outbursts between Charles and his new wife, altercations and even the attempted murder of the local vicar. It is fair to say that that European union was not going so well. Thankfully, all was lovingly resolved and the Hampshire honeymoon marked the beginning of a decade of marital bliss for Charles and his wife. No doubt the European renegotiation that this Conservative Government are driving forward will be judged successful if our marriage remains happy and prosperous in the decades ahead.\nIt is fitting that I make my maiden speech during the debate about Britain in the world because if you take away only one fact about Fareham today, Mr Speaker, let it be the bravery of the men and women who gave so much in the name of freedom. Warsash on the Hamble river was the disembarkation point from which hundreds of British and allied naval and commando units sailed for the D-Day landings on the Normandy beaches. It was an ambitious operation. Just before he left for Normandy, one officer wrote:\n\u201cthe local rector arrived in the camp and there was a parade. We all attended and knelt in the main road coming into the camp, the rector stood on a box and gave a short speech \u2018God teach us not to show cowardice, God give us the strength to face the enemy\u2019\u201d.\nAt times of threat and in the face of evil, Fareham was courageous. We will never forget.\nAs the new MP for Fareham, I hope to build on a legacy of enterprise, for Fareham is at the forefront of technology in the aerospace and marine sectors, with companies such as Eaton Aerospace, National Air Traffic Services and Raymarine headquartered locally.\nIt is a stroke of luck to be born British, and my indebtedness goes to the heart of why I am a Conservative. Our party rewards endeavour, enables compassion and liberates people from the shackles of the state. Our party says, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter where you start. You can make your life and that of others better by taking responsibility and through self-empowerment and generosity.\u201d I will do all I can to serve the people of Fareham with humility, integrity and warmth.\nGisela Stuart Labour, Birmingham, Edgbaston 5:50 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is an honour to follow Suella Fernandes. I was struck by the fact that her father arrived in 1968, and I arrived some six years later under my own steam but also carrying only a suitcase. I was an immigrant by choice rather than necessity, but what brings us together is a supranational concept of being British, so whether born in these isles or having decided to live in these isles, we can call ourselves British. That is something we should never forget, and it takes me to the subject of my speech.\nThe Queen\u2019s Speech talks about Britain in the world. I wonder whether the time has come for us to pause occasionally and see how the world sees us. The divergence in the way we see ourselves and the rest of the world and how the world looks upon us is becoming greater. Elections are quite often viewed in Germany\u2014the country of my birth\u2014through journalists following me around on the campaign trail. Invariably, when I do radio interviews, one of the first questions I am asked is, \u201cWell, Mrs Stuart, just how long have you been on these isles?\u201d I suddenly realised that for the rest of mainland Europe, these are islands, whereas we have largely forgotten that we are an island. The most telling evidence of that forgetting was the mention of our maritime surveillance aircraft and the fact that the strategic defence review did not start by saying, \u201cWe are an island, therefore we need a navy.\u201d That is part of our forgetting who we are.\nWe assume that we have natural advantages, one of which is the English language. I want to warn Members. There was a wonderful programme not long ago in which a young American woman attributed the breakdown of her marriage to an Englishman to the simple fact that she did not speak English English. For example, she would say, \u201cI would like children\u201d and he would say, \u201cYes, let\u2019s think about that.\u201d She would suggest that they move to another part of the country and he would say, \u201cYes, we can discuss that.\u201d She said it took her about 20 years to realise that this was just a very polite English way of saying, \u201cNo. No chance. I just don\u2019t want to have an argument.\u201d\nWhen we talk about hard power and soft power, we assume that part of our soft power is the export of our culture, our values and the English language, but just listen to many an interview. The English language as spoken on these islands is no longer necessarily the English that is spoken in the rest of Europe and at many of the negotiating tables. We think of ourselves as being, as of right, permanent members of the UN Security Council. Yes, in terms of the institutional structures, we are there as of right, but if we do such things as lecture NATO members in Wales about not meeting the 2% standard on spending and tell them that they are no-good crummy allies by failing to do so, when we ourselves fall below the 2% standard, the gap widens between our posturing and the reality, and our credibility is diminished.\nWe are a force for good. It is not just the supranational concept of Britishness, but it can be traced back to Queen Elizabeth I who, when dealing with the Catholics, said, \u201cI will not make windows into men\u2019s hearts.\u201d That was her way of saying, \u201cIf you live in these islands, I expect from you certain behaviour in your public life, which includes compliance with the rule of law, but there is a part of you\u2014your inner beliefs\u2014which are yours.\u201d I therefore make a plea that we do not often get a chance to make in this House: let us start looking at ourselves a little more carefully.\nThe rest of the world sees these islands as fragmenting, and sees a startling rise of nationalism. Whether that is the Scottish referendum, the call for English votes for English MPs or other causes, the world sees us not as pulling together but as fragmenting. Unless we start to be conscious of that and deal with the consequences, our negotiating positions will become much harder.\nAbove all, as a member of the Defence Committee in the previous Parliament, and after two Sessions on the Foreign Affairs Committee before that, I believe that unless we start to define what British national interests are and formulate a foreign policy accordingly, all the discussions about defence will be meaningless. There is a natural hierarchy\u2014we do not know what forces we need unless we know what role we wish to play in the world. If we wish to play a positive role in the world, that will occasionally mean that we need significant military capabilities, because when war breaks out we have to fight that war before we can do the peace.\nMadeleine Moon Labour, Bridgend\nI apologise for interrupting a fantastic speech, but I remind my hon. Friend that during our last inquiry one of the most frightening pieces of evidence given to us was when we asked about strategy and were told that, unfortunately, the speaker thought that the Prime Minister\u2019s concept of strategy was \u201cWhat\u2019s next?\u201d Is not the great problem of this House that perhaps we become more focused on what\u2019s next than on what is the grand strategy for the UK, where we aim to be and where we aim to take these islands?\nI do not disagree with a word my hon. Friend has said. I ask new Members of the House to take note. Too often, we spend time on all the important things in life such as rubbish not collected, the potholes in our constituencies and the hedges not being cut, but we do not spend enough time on what the role of this House should be: taking a strategic view of what this nation is about, what the requirements of this nation are and whether the Government are fulfilling them.\nCrispin Blunt Conservative, Reigate 5:58 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is always a pleasure to follow Ms Stuart. She is always interesting and original and I entirely agree with her peroration.\nWhat a delight to follow my hon. Friend Suella Fernandes. Her personal story and the way in which she promoted her constituency in a remarkable first contribution here make me enormously proud to have her as a colleague on the Conservative Benches.\nI want to disagree gently with my right hon. Friend Dr Lewis, who said there were problems with making policy in peacetime, and that that has implications for the armed forces. We are facing the most challenging foreign policy environment since the end of the second world war. It is pleasing that so many Members want to take part in the debate today, and it is perhaps unsurprising that in the media the issue did not rate the interest and concern that the hon. Member for Birmingham, Edgbaston has just asked us to show.\nThere was an agreeably standard speech from my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary. Accompanied by the Secretaries of State for Defence and for International Development, he laid out the aspirations for our foreign policy. However, it was ever so slightly punctured by my right hon. Friend Mr Simpson asking him about the money. In the end, our position in the world depends on three legs. The first is the policy and our aspiration for the role we wish to play in the world. Secondly, there are the instruments of power with which we deliver that position: hard power, in the form of the armed forces and intelligences services; and soft power, in the form of international development, the British Council, the BBC World Service, and all the voluntary and private sector manifestations of British soft power. But thirdly, we must resource those resources, particularly those that come from the Government.\nIt is a pity that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was not on the Front Bench to hear the Foreign Secretary\u2019s speech. One message that I will give to all right hon. and hon. Members, particularly those on my side of the House, is that if they want to support expenditure on maintaining our position in the world, they must look not to the Ministers now on the Front Bench but to the Treasury Ministers, ensuring that they fully understand how important those of us on this side of the House believe those issues to be.\nIf the rest of my remarks sound rather like a proposed programme for the Foreign Affairs Committee that is largely because that is what they are. Let me turn to the European Union. We have a strategic decision to take as a nation, and so profound is that decision that it must be put to the people in a referendum. Enabling that referendum was a key part of the Queen\u2019s Speech. That measure gives us a chance to address a sore that has run through British politics, arguably since the Single European Act. That changed the nature of the then European Community and gave socialists an opportunity to use\u2014some would say abuse\u2014the role of the European Union to pursue both market and social objectives. The nature of the deal and of the Union changed, and it is now necessary for our country to decide either to recommit to the European Union or to come out of it. We therefore have to analyse the costs and benefits of those options. I believe that, as Alex Salmond said, that can be done by a Committee of this House that does not agree on what the outcome should be but ought to be able to analyse properly the exact costs and benefits of either option.\nThe background to that immensely important decision includes issues such as our relationship with Russia. Russia has gone from being a potential partner that was emerging from the cold war to a strategic competitor. We have to give proper attention to Russia and to the situation in Ukraine, and to what that might mean for the cold war that appears to be enveloping our relationship again, and for our armed forces and the necessity to use them. We will have to look at issues relating to China, as my hon. Friend Sir Gerald Howarth suggested in his contribution.\nI am delighted, in one sense, that the Foreign Secretary is no longer in his place, because he has gone to Paris for a meeting of the core coalition group on ISIL. Why is an intelligent regional policy towards ISIL not being pursued by Saudi Arabia, Iran, Turkey and Egypt? They are the key regional powers. What are we doing, as one of the major powers behind them, to ensure that they get their act together and co-ordinate as far as they can, because ISIL is as much their enemy as it is ours?\nWe must also address difficult issues concerning values and interests in the United Kingdom. We have had the Jenkins review of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. What do we do when people vote for parties we do not like, and where does that put our values, as against our interests? Finally, we must examine the chaos that Libya has fallen into and the consequences for the European Union.\nMelanie Onn Labour, Great Grimsby 6:03 pm, 1st June 2015\nI am very pleased to follow the greatly experienced hon. Member for Reigate (Crispin Blunt), whom I had the pleasure of meeting on my first day in this Parliament. I stand before the House today as only the fourth Member of Parliament for Great Grimsby since the end of the second world war. Members will find that I look and sound distinctly different from my predecessor. They should not be alarmed; it is that I am the first woman representative of that truly great town, and the first in modern times to be born in the shadow of our famous Dock Tower.\nIn keeping with tradition, I have turned to the maiden speech of my predecessor, Austin Mitchell. It was made two years and one month before I was born. I say that not to point out the difference in age between Austin and me, but rather to highlight his extraordinary length of service and the commitment he gave over 38 years not only to the constituency, but to this House. His maiden speech mentioned the often \u201cperfunctory\u201d references to preceding representatives of a constituency. Having had our differences of opinion over recent months, it may well surprise him and others to learn that I will not be limited in my praise of him.\nAustin\u2019s passion for Grimsby, its people, heritage and future remained strong throughout his tenure. He lobbied for what he believed best served the town and its people, whether that was a lengthy struggle for fishermen\u2019s compensation packages or, more recently, supporting local people facing the demolition of their high-rise homes without a proper plan to re-house them. He was firmly on Grimsby\u2019s side. That passion often led him into conflict with his own party, but I suspect that history will be kind to Austin, his independent thought and steadfastness in the face of opposition.\nThe short film that Austin and his wife Linda have recently premiered, \u201cGreat Grimsby\u201d, was produced to counter the often negative perception that others have of the town\u2014the social difficulties that exist have been broadcast to the nation in Channel 4\u2019s \u201cSkint\u201d. Their film gives everyone a chance to see the delights that our corner of the country has to offer, as it is freely available on YouTube. I urge hon. Members on both sides of the House to take the time to view it.\nAustin\u2019s scepticism over Europe is well documented, and the local resentment towards a perceived poor deal from Europe for our former main industry of fishing led to a significant challenge from the UK Independence party during the election. UKIP laid all the ills of society at the door of Europe: \u201cYou can\u2019t get an appointment to see your doctor; your child hasn\u2019t got into your first choice of school; you can\u2019t find work; you can\u2019t get a flat.\u201d All those issues\u2014domestic issues of the NHS, education, jobs and housing\u2014are for the current Government to tackle. They were wrongly set at the feet of Europe and European migration. Indeed, just as Nigel Farage blamed congestion on the M4 on immigrants, my UKIP opponent challenged us all to ask, \u201cWhat happens when the renewables run out?\u201d\u2014a European conspiracy to steal our wind, perhaps?\nThe issue of wind, or more specifically wind energy and renewable energy, is where the future lies for our town. While UKIP sought to look back and return to the days of a port filled with deep-sea trawlers, with the town\u2019s young men taking their lives in their hands with each three-week voyage to sea, local businesses, the council and individuals have turned to look outwards and to the future. Our future clearly lies in the prospects of a strong renewable energy sector, in partnership with our European neighbours. There is now an opportunity to draw more businesses to an additional port and to the port complex along the south bank, and that brings with it the hope of 4,000 new jobs.\nI stress in the strongest terms how important those jobs are for rejuvenating our area, offering something new and exciting for our young people to be proud of. Some 25% of our young people are not in employment, education or training, and that cannot be allowed to continue; our young people deserve better. I have heard it said in the House over the past few days that employment is the best route out of poverty, but I suggest that it is a safe and secure environment for independent young people to live in, coupled with supported access to continued education, that would best prevent poverty being the guaranteed outcome for so many.\nIf, as so many in the town hope, we are to take Great Grimsby forward and truly become a 21st century port town, political support for the renewables industry is essential. Our other traditional industries of food manufacturing and petrochemicals have shrunk in recent years and there is an increased reliance on short-term jobs, which provide no security for people or their families. Redundancies and relocations have hit the town hard. I meet more and more people who are working two or three jobs simply to make ends meet, and they are the jobs not of mayor and MP, but of cleaner, carer and factory worker.\nThe people of Great Grimsby want to work. Nearly a thousand have applied for 30 new hotel jobs in recent weeks. My campaign slogan was \u201cPride, Passion and Belief in Grimsby\u201d. Although I doubt that I will be changing my surname to Haddock, I will use my time in this House over the next five years to champion my home town.\nRichard Benyon Conservative, Newbury 6:10 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a great pleasure to follow such a superb maiden speech by Melanie Onn. As a former fisheries Minister, I listened many times to her predecessor giving the same speech in the fisheries debate. Whatever was rightly or wrongly attributed to him\u2014he allegedly said that anybody in a red rosette would win the seat of Grimsby\u2014the hon. Lady has proved those words to be incorrect, because she gave an exceptional performance in this debate. She should feel huge pride in her initial contribution to our proceedings.\nFrederick the Great once said:\n\u201cDiplomacy without arms is like music without instruments.\u201d\nWe need to contemplate that as we decide how Britain plays its role in the world. People in all parts of this House have an internationalist view. In that spirit of working together, much as was outlined by my hon. Friend Crispin Blunt, we can find a way through the difficult decisions that we have to face. Too often in this House we use phrases such as \u201cprojecting power\u201d and \u201cpunching above our weight\u201d. I urge hon. Members to treat those phrases with caution. Our constituents are suspicious when we use such phrases.\nThey are weary of Britain playing an eternal role of international policeman. They are suspicious of phrases that might lack humility following some of the interventions in the post-9/11 period, which\u2014whatever the undoubted professionalism and courage of our armed services, and through no fault of theirs\u2014have not been the success that we were led to believe they would be or might have hoped they would be. Too often, too high a price was paid in blood and treasure for those interventions. However, while I have a deep suspicion of those kinds of high-octane interventions, I remain, and this House and this Government should remain, absolutely committed to Britain playing a leading role in the world.\nOver the next few weeks the Government will be working on their National Security Council risk assessment, so this is an absolutely crucial moment. Anybody who knows me will know that I have a generally sunny view of life\u2014I am a ready listener to the Prime Minister when he talks about bright sunlit uplands and the great future that awaits this country\u2014but I must confess that as I contemplate the world today an awful bleakness comes over me. It is a more dangerous world than has existed at any time in my lifetime, and I speak as somebody who served in the armed forces during the cold war.\nI hope that the National Security Council risk assessment reflects an arc of insecurity around Europe\u2019s south and eastern borders that extends from northern Nigeria through the Maghreb and the Sahel into the horn of Africa, and includes the chaos in Yemen and the tragedy in Iraq and Syria. As we look at Russia\u2019s western border, we see Russia\u2019s actions destabilising countries, some of which we are duty-bound\u2014treaty-bound\u2014to defend if they are attacked. We hear today about threats in the South China sea. We know of emerging threats in different parts of the world. I entirely agree with the shadow Foreign Secretary that climate change is an instigator of instability and that wars that may have been fought over the egos of leaders, or oil or territory will perhaps in future be fought over natural resources such as water, energy and food.\nAs we look to the future, the important point is to look back to the past. Five years ago, we did not predict that a jihadist group would hold an area the size of France, where they are trying to create a state with levels of barbarity unknown since medieval times. We would not have been able to guess that Russia would actually annex part of a sovereign state. We need to look at how we resource our influence in the world, first understanding the mistakes we made in the past, but then looking to flexible and properly resourced services for the future.\nOur armed forces have a societal value to us that we do not value enough. They have the immense value to this country of deterring potential enemies and supporting our allies, but most importantly they exist to counter the threats we face. I hope an intellectual thread will run through the National Security Council\u2019s risk assessment that will feed through to the strategic defence and security review and, from that, to the comprehensive spending review. It is almost impossible to conclude that we can achieve what we need to achieve in the world without spending at least 2% of GDP on defence. We need to make that a factor of honour. As recently as last September, in Wales, the Prime Minister was right to extol the virtues of Britain doing that. Our constituents will want us to keep the Government\u2019s feet to the fire on the most important duty of any Government\u2014the defence and security of the United Kingdom and its interests.\nAlan Whitehead Labour, Southampton, Test 6:16 pm, 1st June 2015\nI, too, congratulate my hon. Friend Melanie Onn on a superb maiden speech that will, I am sure, be echoed by important contributions in many years to come. During it, I reflected on her emphasis on the importance of renewable and sustainable energy to the economy of Grimsby. It is many years since I made my maiden speech, but over those years\u2014the five terms for which I am grateful to the electors of Southampton, Test for returning me as a Member of Parliament\u2014I have tried to champion that cause in this House, as well as championing the pressing need to take action on climate change. The sort of new future that could be available for Grimsby with renewable and sustainable energy at its heart is one of the positive outcomes of that championing.\nIn this Queen\u2019s Speech, we saw a brief reflection of the importance of action on climate change and the need for a very firm and positive outcome to the upcoming talks in Paris in December. It is important that that was in the Queen\u2019s Speech, because it is on our watch that these talks will take place, with an outcome that could be crucial for the whole future of our world. If there is one thing that we might want Britain to do in the world, and for the world, it is to press at the climate change talks for the conclusion that could make such a big difference.\nIn that context, I worry about the difference between the words that are in front of us and the actions that have to go with them. One of the key Bills proposed in the Queen\u2019s Speech is an energy Bill that appears to point in precisely the opposite direction from the way we need to go on climate change by institutionalising the extraction of mineral energy at its maximum and taking punitive action against renewable and low-carbon energy, particularly onshore wind, which it places in the arms of a system that is already bankrupt. If the Bill has its way, there will be very little new renewable energy coming forward over the next period. That is important. Britain has a lot of money in the bank to contribute towards tackling climate change. We have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk and leave it at rhetoric.\nThe Government have said that the unique selling point of Britain\u2019s contribution towards tackling climate change is the targets it has set and how it has met its carbon budgets. Indeed, we recently met our first carbon budget and have set a number of future carbon budgets, which I hope we will be able to meet. However, if we end up attending climate change talks having abandoned that particular trajectory, our influence in the world will be immeasurably diminished.\nWe could put in legislation the requirement to decarbonise our energy supplies by 2030. That was a grave omission from the Queen\u2019s Speech. We could do that in the run-up to the climate change talks to demonstrate that we are serious about a future low-carbon economy. If we end up at the climate change talks dithering about whether we are going to do that and reach our future targets, our influence will be gravely diminished and our attempts at a low-carbon future will be undermined as a result.\nRebecca Pow Conservative, Taunton Deane 6:22 pm, 1st June 2015\nI am very grateful for the opportunity to make my maiden speech. May I first congratulate other hon. Friends and Members on their splendid maiden speeches? They have made me quite nervous, and I wish very good luck to all the others who will follow me.\nI pay tribute to my Liberal Democrat predecessor, Jeremy Browne, who represented Taunton and Taunton Deane for the past 10 years and was a distinguished Minister of State at the Foreign Office and for Home Affairs. He was known as a straight-talking Minister who got things done. He promoted a private Member\u2019s Bill on organ donation and was involved in the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, which shows his diversity. On termination of his office, he remarked that he had heard it said that he was\n\u201cthe only Minister in history to have been sacked for being too supportive of the Government.\u201d\u2014[Hansard, 18 March 2015; Vol. 594, c. 816.]\nI personally knew Jeremy and had a great deal of respect for him. He built a reputation as a caring and conscientious constituency MP and I really hope that I will follow in that vein.\nApart from occasional interludes, Taunton Deane has traditionally been Conservative and I am honoured to have reinstated that tradition and to have been part of the incredibly successful wider Conservative campaign in the whole south-west. I am also proud to be the very first woman Conservative MP for Taunton and, indeed, for Somerset.\nAs an MP and working mum who has latterly run my own business, I was delighted to see in the Gracious Speech the enterprise Bill giving support for small businesses and, in particular, measures in the education and childcare Bill to double the hours of free childcare for three and four year olds, which will really help working women.\nTaunton Deane has one or two colourful characters in its history. Hon. Members may not know that Disraeli stood for election in Taunton in 1835, but he lost. He did not even have so many doors to knock on in those days, but obviously he went on to be a great one nation Tory. How apt that is today.\nStill fondly remembered in the constituency for his larger than life approach is Sir Edward du Cann, who in May 1959 said in a debate in this House that the A303 from London to the south-west had bottlenecks and that it was totally inadequate and in need of improvement. We have debated the issue ever since. I am delighted that years on it is this Government who are so committed to upgrading the A303 and, indeed, the A358, which runs right through my constituency, as well as junction 25 of the M5 and are committed to the wonderful transformation of Taunton railway station. It is going to happen and I will work to ensure that all those things are addressed.\nWhat of Taunton Deane today? Of course, I am rather biased because I have lived there for nearly 30 years and think there is no better place to hang one\u2019s hat. Between the beautiful Blackdown hills and the Quantock hills runs the fertile vale of Taunton, right in the centre of which is the county town of Taunton itself. Right in the heart of the county town, one can go to watch Somerset play cricket at the County Ground. I was there just yesterday afternoon, watching Chris Gayle hit 15 sixes in an innings. Much money is being spent turning the ground into an international cricket ground, and I hope that in the coming years I will be able to invite Members from both sides of the House to the County Ground to watch Somerset thrash their home sides.\nTaunton is also home to the UK Hydrographic Office, which is globally renowned for producing naval shipping maps and which I very much hope will stay there, and to Somerset\u2019s main hospital. We also have the beautiful town of Wellington, home to international companies, including Swallowfield and Relyon bed company, and fashionable, high-end cloth makers, Fox Brothers. I know that you are known for your sartorial elegance, Mr Deputy Speaker, so perhaps you will come to purchase your next suit there.\nFarming is the lifeblood of our rural areas, with livestock and dairying still very much predominant. Farming is my background, so I understand the challenges and, yes, I have milked many a cow. The Pows have farmed in Somerset for more than six centuries, rivalling even the claim to longevity of my hon. Friend Mr Rees-Mogg. I hope that nature and wildlife can be interwoven into the way in which we produce our food. In that respect, I am so supportive of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Let us bring on the bee pollinator strategy.\nPenultimately, I have to mention flooding. I am sure hon. Members will all remember the devastating flooding on the Somerset levels just a year ago, when thousands of acres of precious land were underwater. Thankfully, the area is blooming again and the rivers are dredged. I pay enormous tribute to the entire Government at that time for the great work they did combating the flooding.\nFinally, I have an overriding ambition to see Taunton Deane become the gateway to the south-west and, indeed, to see the whole south-west pull together, with all the right infrastructure and education and skills, to make us the south-western powerhouse and, indeed, the engine room of this country, playing a much greater role than ever before in the great economy under this Government. I really look forward to playing a part in that myself.\nI am exceedingly grateful for the time you have given me, Mr Deputy Speaker, and for your indulgence for the past few minutes as I made my maiden speech.\nJulie Cooper Labour, Burnley 6:28 pm, 1st June 2015\nThank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to make my maiden speech. I pay tribute to the Members who have made their speeches before me today. Many of them are very experienced Members, but what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm.\nIn the early hours of 8 May I was honoured to be elected the Member of Parliament for Burnley. I would like to thank the people of Burnley and Padiham for the trust they have placed in me. As is customary, I would like to take this opportunity to pay tribute to my predecessor, Gordon Birtwistle. In 2010 Gordon made a name for himself being the oldest newly elected MP. He was unquestionably a hard-working MP who, like me, wanted the best for Burnley. Members might not be surprised to hear that we have not always seen eye to eye about everything, but we do share a love of Burnley and a commitment to providing strong representation and I wish him well in his retirement.\nIt is a privilege to represent Burnley because it is a special place. During the industrial revolution, Burnley came to prominence as the town that produced more cotton than any other town in the world. It undoubtedly played its part in making Britain the richest country in the world at that time, with the biggest empire that the world has ever seen.\nEven now, in the 21st century, much of the industrial landscape has survived and we are keen to protect our heritage. That does not mean that we want to turn our town into a museum. We are moving forward, using our past to provide the foundations for our future. Our old mills, sitting on the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool canal, are being sensitively adapted to serve the new industries and businesses of the future in what is one of the largest heritage regeneration schemes in the country.\nBurnley used to be home to single large companies that each employed thousands of people. Our future will consist of some large companies, but also, importantly, some small and medium-sized companies. We are already home to several manufacturing companies with international reputations for quality and innovation, not least Aircelle, Veka, AMS Neve, Futaba Tenneco and Kaman, all of which are well-established, successful businesses providing growth and\u2014as a proud trade union member, I am pleased to say\u2014offering quality employment opportunities for local people.\nAfter many years of campaigning, we have at long last secured\u2014only this month\u2014a direct rail link to Manchester. This link to the UK\u2019s second biggest economic centre will be hugely beneficial to Burnley, attracting business, jobs and investment. Month by month, we are attracting new forward-looking businesses to town, most recently Panaz, Vodafone Automotive and Exertis. Burnley is a major centre for the aerospace and automotive industries, but we are also a town of many talents. Most people will not know that 90% of the sound systems used in Hollywood studios are made exclusively and entirely in Burnley, and most people will not know that we are home to Crow Wood, the global spa of the year for 2015.\nBurnley has a future as a centre of excellence for advanced manufacturing on the world playing field and can play a key central role in the development of a northern powerhouse. I am passionately committed to working to make this vision a reality. I am committed to making Burnley prosperous, and my working-class roots drive me to fight to ensure that everyone benefits from this prosperity.\nIn order for Burnley to fulfil its potential, we need Government support. We do not want handouts; we want investment in infrastructure and we need fair grant funding. Frankly, this did not happen under the coalition Government. We need to have a fair share of resources, and we need delegated powers to shape our own destiny. The stakeholders of Burnley, the borough council, the local business community and educational institutions\u2014collectively known as Burnley bondholders\u2014have already demonstrated a record of delivery. This was formally acknowledged in 2013, when I was council leader and Burnley was officially recognised as the most enterprising town in the UK.\nIf Burnley is to continue to develop as a centre for manufacturing excellence, I know as a former teacher that high standards in training and education are essential not only to fulfil the life potential of every individual but to provide the skilled workforce needed for Burnley\u2019s growing economy. As a result of the Building Schools for the Future programme, Burnley has five new secondary schools and a new sixth-form centre. As the MP, I will strive to ensure that these institutions get the investment and support that they need and are not put at risk by the free school programme, which I have long opposed as a parent, teacher and school governor.\nWith all this talk of industry, manufacturing, mills and factories, hon. Members could be forgiven for imagining Burnley as a dark, grim place, but they would be mistaken. Burnley and the little market town of Padiham, which I am proud to represent, are surrounded on all sides by the most beautiful countryside. The rolling hills that are visible everywhere truly are a paradise for walkers and provide a very pleasant living environment.\nIn Burnley, we are renowned for many things, not least our football team: Burnley football club, a founder member of the Football League\u2014the mighty Clarets\u2014play in the same colours as the Prime Minister\u2019s football team, Aston Villa\u2014[Laughter.]\u2014or is it West Ham United? Even though we have played some magnificent football this season, we will unfortunately not be playing in the Premier League next season, but watch this space\u2014the season after we will be back, because that is the measure of the place and the people. We are proud, ambitious, determined and we often punch above our weight. As the MP, I am determined to play my part in ensuring that that continues to be the case.\nI thank the House and you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for the courtesy I have been shown.\nRoger Gale Conservative, North Thanet\nOrder. There are 13 more maiden speeches that we need to accommodate. Those of us who have been through the process know that it is a little harrowing to have to wait too long. To try to be generous to those making maiden speeches, I will cut the general speaking time to four minutes with immediate effect.\nJohn Baron Conservative, Basildon and Billericay 6:35 pm, 1st June 2015\nI love you too, Mr Deputy Speaker.\nI congratulate Julie Cooper on her excellent maiden speech, and other hon. Members on the excellent speeches we have heard in the House today. It is a real pleasure to participate in this debate. Many subjects have been covered, but to meet the three-and-a-half minute deadline I have been set, I wish to raise an issue that so far has not been covered\u2014the loss of expertise within our foreign policy-making process because of successive budget cuts under different Governments.\nThat issue is perhaps best illustrated by our recent military interventions. There can be no doubt that we went to war in Iraq on a false premise, and that in Afghanistan post-2006 we allowed ourselves to lose sight of the bigger picture and let the mission morph from one initially of combating al-Qaeda, which we did successfully, to one of nation building, which caused problems and which we under-resourced. Then there was Libya, which has turned into absolute chaos and civil war.\nSuch interventions have ushered in a host of unintended consequences with which we are still contending, but I suggest that they have also distracted us from the greater threat to Britain\u2019s security both at home and abroad\u2014potentially hostile nation states that are not just rearming, but reasserting force. Russia and China particularly come to mind. As an ex-soldier, I am not saying that military interventions are never warranted. There have been successful and appropriate interventions\u2014the first Gulf war, Afghanistan in 2001, Sierra Leone and the Falklands\u2014but our most recent interventions seem to suggest we are incorrectly assessing when and how best to use the military instrument. To counter this, we need greater investment in our policy-making process. It is important that our policy makers have the resources.\nDoes my hon. Friend agree that even when our armed forces perform superbly, as in Libya, the politics can still fail afterwards?\nI agree. This is not the fault of soldiers on the front line; it is, in many respects, the fault of the military, diplomatic and political leadership.\nWe need to fund better our Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the policy-making process generally. Continual budget cuts have resulted in a hollowing out of staff with specialist regional knowledge, specialist expertise and language capability. That has eroded our ability to understand what is happening on the ground, and it must be put right. Our unconvincing response to recent Russian aggression and the Arab spring is not unconnected to the fact that we had no Crimea experts in the FCO at the time and we had too few Arabists in place, to such an extent that we had to recall retired diplomats into service. It is therefore no surprise that Parliament has raised the bar before consenting to intervention.\nHowever, I suggest to the House that being better informed is of little use if policy options are restricted. Britain is not spending enough on defence and is cutting back on key defence capabilities. I suggest that strong armed forces are an essential component of foreign policy and often underpin a successful diplomatic strategy. In addition to spending more on defence, I believe we should increase our spending on our soft power capabilities. In this information age, winning the story will be just as important as winning the battle. Our soft power assets, such as the British Council and the BBC World Service, tend to be excellent value, out of all proportion to their positive effect; yet, they are under-resourced.\nIn conclusion, cutting the FCO and soft-power budgets is a false economy. Diplomacy and soft power can pay for themselves many times over, especially when we are trying to increase our understanding of what is happening on the ground and to avoid conflict. Without strong and capable armed forces, diplomacy and soft power can achieve only so much in the face of potentially hostile and powerful countries, and a step change in defence spending is required, as is the political will to sustain it. However, we also need to better understand the forces at work on the international stage: more than ever, we need a well-resourced foreign policy apparatus so that we can face the challenges in this increasingly uncertain world.\nMike Gapes Labour/Co-operative, Ilford South 6:40 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a pleasure to follow Mr Baron. He and I served on the Foreign Affairs Committee in the last Parliament, and I want to begin by paying tribute to two other of my colleagues from that Committee, Frank Roy and Sandra Osborne, who were assiduous Members of the House, but who were, sadly, swept away by the nationalist tsunami in Scotland.\nIn the four minutes I have, I wish to concentrate on something very sad: the total lack during the general election campaign of debate about Britain\u2019s role in the world and about foreign policy\u2014there was not even a serious debate about our future in Europe. We were obsessed with micro-issues, and, from the Labour side, we had no narrative, no vision and no sense of where our country was going. Unfortunately, that allowed our opponents to set the agenda far too much.\nI made my maiden speech 23 years ago during the Queen\u2019s Speech debate on foreign policy. I am pleased that, at this election, my constituents in Ilford South gave me the best result Labour has ever achieved. I got 64% of the vote\u2014up from 49%\u2014and a majority of 19,777. That is in London\u2014multicultural, multiracial, diverse London, which is the greatest global city in the world.\nLabour did not do badly everywhere in the election. We did not lose the election in Scotland, but in England. [Interruption.] We lost it overall to the Conservatives in England. The Labour party has to win back a majority in England, but we will not do so by chasing an agenda that fails to recognise that globalisation is a fact, that immigration is a good thing and that, if the brightest and the best from Europe and elsewhere in the world wish to come, as they have for centuries, to live, work, contribute and study in our country, we should welcome them. There is no future for a party of the left in following a mean and nasty agenda.\nThere is also no future for the Labour party if we concentrate on a debate about the past. We must have a vision for the future, and we must talk about Britain\u2019s place in the world\u2014yes, our role on the Security Council, our role in the European Union, our links with the Commonwealth and our role as a global trading nation. However, foreign policy is more than that. We have a narrow, mercantilist Government, who believe that the role of the Foreign Office should be simply to boost trade with the BRICs\u2014Brazil, Russia, India and China. The reality is that this country has a moral responsibility: we defined international standards in 1948, and British diplomats played a key role in establishing the United Nations and the universal declaration of human rights, so we should be at the forefront of trying to defend and strengthen those today.\nLabour should be proud to be a global, internationalist party, and we as a country should be internationalist and open in our approach. I am delighted that UKIP got only 5% of the vote in my constituency, and I look forward to that being the case elsewhere in the country in years to come.\nBob Stewart Conservative, Beckenham 6:44 pm, 1st June 2015\nWe have listened to four fantastic speeches from four hon. Ladies\u2014my hon. Friend Suella Fernandes,\nMelanie Onn, my hon. Friend Rebecca Pow and Julie Cooper. I had better get my game up a bit to try to match their eloquence.\nThe last strategic defence and security review, in 2010, imposed an 8% cut in the overall defence budget, which resulted, arguably, in a 30% reduction in capacity across all three armed forces. For our military, SDSR 2010 was an excruciating exercise and hurt deeply. For instance, the RAF, shockingly, sacked a quarter of its trainee pilots\u2014many just as they were awarded their flying wings.\nIn 2010, the SDSR negated two factors: first, the military threat from Russia, which has grown enormously since then and, secondly, the explosion in upheavals in the middle east following the so-called Arab spring, which had not, of course, begun five years ago. Both those factors must now be placed into the planning assumptions for SDSR 2015, and I will say a few words about each.\nIn real terms, the Russian defence budget has increased by about 53%. The weekend before last, Dmitry Rogozin, Russia\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister, remarked on television that tanks do not need visas, and he has a point, given that we see Russian T-72 tanks cruising through eastern Ukraine.\nAccording to MI5, the current threat level for the UK is classified as severe. That means that our security services believe an attack is highly likely, partly from supporters of al-Qaeda or Daesh. I do not want our Army to go abroad to fight and to lose lives again, but it may have to do just that if our enemies pose a sufficient threat to the people of our country.\nI should just warn the new women who have joined the House of Commons that they will hear the hon. Gentleman\u2019s gallantry many times when he is referring to the women of this House\u2014he is well known for it. However, does he agree that two threats really face this country? Russian Bears and Russian submarines have been seen off our coasts numerous times. Also, in terms of the successors of IS, jihadi groups across the middle east and north Africa now see IS as the group to follow if they are to gain any foothold in their own countries. We need to address those issues urgently.\nI thank the hon. Lady for that intervention\u2014she has given me an extra minute, which I will not use. [Interruption.] Will the SDP just keep quiet? [Interruption.] The SNP\u2014sorry. [Interruption.] You have actually used my minute up now.\nThe most crucial question we have to answer in SDSR 2015 is how much military power we need to generate for operations abroad, whether high-intensity symmetric campaigns, probably as part of a coalition, or asymmetric operations, probably at a lower level. Our armed forces must still be designed to deter state-on-state conflict, and Russia\u2019s actions in eastern Europe are signal warning of that. The thought of war between states is not dead\u2014we may hope it is, but we must not count on it.\nIn the last Parliament, the Defence Committee called for at least 2% of GDP to be allocated to defence. So did I, and I do so again. France is increasing its defence budget by \u20ac4 billion, and Germany by \u20ac8 billion. In this SDSR, what we need for defence, and not for cost cutting, must be the paramount assumption.\nTasmina Ahmed-Sheikh Shadow SNP Westminster Group Leader (Trade and Investment) 6:49 pm, 1st June 2015\nI am grateful to have caught your eye, Mr Deputy Speaker, and to be able to deliver, in this important debate, my first speech. I hope that in the days and weeks to come this will become a regular occurrence. I should add at this point\u2014indeed, it will come as no surprise to my hon. Friends\u2014that it has not normally been my way to seek a man\u2019s permission to speak, but I am endeavouring to learn this, and other skills, as I settle into the House. I had initially thought that as well as being a lawyer, by being an actor I could possibly bring something new to the House, but, as the last few days of debate in this House have shown, there is clearly no shortage of aspiring candidates in that respect.\nI am most proud to represent the diverse constituency of Ochil and South Perthshire. I would like to pay tribute to Gordon Banks, my predecessor, who served before me as the MP from 2005. I hope that I will able to continue his hard work in diligently serving my constituents to the best of my ability. I am proud to have been chosen by voters from three of Scotland\u2019s counties to come here to represent their interests.\nClackmannanshire, the wee county, has a proud industrial past. Today, its main employers include: the glass works in Alloa, which has a history dating back over 250 years; and Diageo, where I had the pleasure of meeting apprentice coppersmiths in one of my first engagements as the new local MP.\nKinross-shire is a growing part of the constituency, where the population has doubled in the past 40 years. It has a thriving tourism economy, and is building on this work with recent developments to improve facilities around Loch Leven.\nSouth Perthshire, too, has some iconic businesses. The food and drink sectors are well represented by Highland Spring in Blackford, while visitors to Crieff can enjoy the Famous Grouse Experience. Farming remains a core industry, and tourism plays a leading role in the local economy, from hosting T in the Park to the iconic Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder. Gleneagles provided a working model of European integration and harmony when it hosted last year\u2019s stunning Ryder cup victory for the European team\u2014perhaps the one and only issue concerning Europe that unites this House!\nAs the Scottish National party\u2019s spokesperson on trade and investment and in my role as deputy shadow Leader of The House, I am delighted to have the opportunity to champion Scotland\u2019s economy and to propose measures that will allow businesses in Scotland to grow and succeed on an international level. I want to build on the good work already under way in Scotland to create jobs\u2014not part-time disposable zero-hour contract jobs, and not jobs that perpetuate poverty.\nI have had the privilege of seeing the vital work carried out by staff and volunteers at The Gate food bank in Alloa, but it is frankly unacceptable that so many of its clients are either families who are in work but cannot afford to put food on the table at home for their loved ones, or, heartbreakingly, children living in abject poverty. That is why I want to see high quality, well-paid employment, which builds on the great skills base of the people of Scotland. That is why I will be joining my colleagues on the SNP Benches in committing to becoming a living wage employer in the days and weeks to come.\nScotland already has a fantastic story to tell on trade and investment. An Ernst and Young report last week showed that in 2014 Scotland attracted the most foreign direct investment of any part of the UK outside of London for the third year in a row. We on these Benches will make the case for the measures and policies Scotland\u2019s economy needs for the future, including the devolution of key tax and investment powers to the Scottish Parliament.\nI have run out of time, but I am pleased to say that the Scottish National party has proactively promoted gender equality in our domestic politics. The Scottish Government have a Cabinet composed of five women and five men, all appointed by Nicola Sturgeon, the first woman to hold the position of First Minister. I hope to work with my colleagues across the Chamber to ensure women are front and centre of politics in the House of the Commons and across the whole of the United Kingdom. In the words of Gandhi:\nI shall work hard with courage, conviction and humility, and strive to make a positive difference.\nJohnny Mercer Conservative, Plymouth, Moor View 6:54 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a privilege to follow Ms Ahmed-Sheikh.\nI want to start by thanking my predecessor, Ms Alison Seabeck. She worked hard in the course of the past decade to help some of the most vulnerable people in Plymouth. She never waivered in her commitment to her party, albeit a different one from mine.\nThe great city of Plymouth, which I have been sent here to represent, has a history and stature to rival our nation\u2019s capital. Some of our country\u2019s defining moments have occurred in the \u201cjewel of the south-west\u201d that is Plymouth. It has a recent character defined in some of the darkest days of the conflicts that dominated the previous century.\nIn the carnage of the second world war, the sacrifices of those on the home front in cities outside London cannot always be first recalled. During the war, more than 1,100 souls perished on Plymouth\u2019s streets, with a nightly exodus to Dartmoor keeping as many children alive as possible. I mention this because that period of war defined our modern history in Plymouth. From the ruins of those dark days sprang the spirit of a modern Plymouth. A huge period of regeneration saw the building of 1,000 homes a year in the 1950s under the Homes for Heroes plan.\nIt was those days of regeneration and rebirth and the spirit of discovery that engendered what we affectionately call our Janner spirit. In the general election just passed, I tried to knock on every door in my constituency\u2014and I almost succeeded. I am pleased to report that the Janner spirit is truly alive and well: from local community projects to saving our football club; from pioneering mental health and substance misuse treatments to a world-class hospital at Derriford; and from cutting edge businesses growing an increasingly resilient local economy to the plethora of ambitious and socially aware social enterprises in the city, we truly have a special place on the southern shores of this country that has recently seen a new dawn and is in serious danger of realising its potential.\nWe in Plymouth have contributed to this nation\u2019s history as much as any other major city. This has continued through recent conflicts. It cannot be right that our transport, health and other spending settlements are less than half of what they are elsewhere. In a seat that once elected Michael Foot, I do not underestimate the burden of trust that the people of my city have placed at my door to ensure that we as a Government deliver a more resilient, stable and fair economy that must include better funding settlements from central Government for our core services in Plymouth.\nI want to speak briefly about my two main missions in this Parliament. First, mental health provision in this country remains poor. There are some extremely dogged and determined characters who fight night and day to improve the services offered to those who struggle with mental health problems. Often, those who struggle with mental health problems cannot shout for themselves and suffer in silence because of the ridiculous stigma placed on mental health. That stigma ends in this Parliament. It is not good enough to have sympathy, empathy even, or simply to understand these issues when they affect someone close to us. It is time to get this right and I look forward to starting this crusade in Plymouth.\nSecondly, the past decade and a half has defined a whole generation of us in often unseen wars against enemies of the state that only seem to grow darker. We have no complaints about the duty that we have chosen. It formed many of us; indeed, it made many of us who we are today. We were proud to defend this great nation in the same traditions of the immense sacrifices of our forefathers. However, last week my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister spoke of the gravity of the end of combat operations in Afghanistan. For many families, that marks the end of the sleepless nights by the phone and the ever-dreaded knock at the door.\nI am sorry to report, however, that there remains a great stain on this nation of ours when it comes to conflict. In 2012, we reached a very unwelcome threshold when, tragically, more soldiers and veterans killed themselves than were killed on operational service in defence of the realm. It goes without saying that there are some genuine heroes in our communities and charities up and down this land who work tirelessly night and day to look after and assist those who have found returning to a peaceful life the biggest challenge of all. A great many of these veterans are not only from Afghanistan.\nMy key point is this: there has been a fundamental misunderstanding by Governments of all colours over the years that veterans\u2019 care is a third sector responsibility and that the great British public, in all their wonderful generosity, support our troops well enough, and any new initiative is met with the response, \u201cWell, there must be a charity for that.\u201d That is fundamentally and unequivocally wrong, and I make no apologies for pointing it out to anyone of any rank or position who may be offended by my candour.\nI am not a charity and neither were my men. We gave the best years of our lives in defending the privileges, traditions and freedoms that this House and all Members enjoy. It is therefore the duty of this House to look after them and, crucially, their families when they return. I would be grateful if you would grant me your patience, Mr Deputy Speaker, to bring just two of them to the attention of the House this evening.\nLance Sergeant Dan Collins of the Welsh Guards was typical of the soldiers I was privileged to command in my tours of Afghanistan. His story had a profound effect on me. I implore Members to look him up tonight before they go to bed and to read his story. He endured events that were atypical of a fighting man\u2019s deployment in that theatre. He returned to Britain\u2019s arms a deeply scarred man and entered a dark, dark place that too many are familiar with. Dan worked hard to try to find treatment that worked for him, but repeated changes of staff and six-hour round trips for appointments did very little indeed. He fought his demons with the same spirit and courage that he had demonstrated on a daily basis against the enemies of the state in foreign fields. When he returned home, however, unlike when he was in his battalion, we did not have his back.\nDan liked to take on his demons alone in the mountains, where perhaps the outside arena made him feel more empowered. However, in 2012, during the period of new year\u2019s celebrations\u2014that time of year when all the world is celebrating\u2014Dan recorded a video message for his mum on his mobile phone. He said:\n\u201cHey Mum. Just a video, just to say I\u2019m sorry. Ever since I came back from Hell I\u2019ve turned into a horrible person and I don\u2019t like who I am anymore.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019ve tried everything, and there\u2019s nothing that seems to be working. I love you, and I'll see you, okay? I love you.\u201d\nWith that, our nation failed one of her bravest sons once more, as yet another victim of the Afghanistan war lost his life, not bleeding out in some dusty foreign field in the intense pressures of combat but in his homeland, which he had fought so hard to defend.\nNext Monday, it will be five years to the day since I conducted a particular dawn patrol in southern Afghanistan with my troops. We were enduring one of the most contested fighting seasons of that campaign in 2010, and fear was rife. I was particularly blessed to have with me in my small team a man of colossal courage called Lance Bombardier Mark Chandler, who in our role was duty-bound to protect me in close-quarter combat while I continued in our primary trade. While most people in this country were still in a morning slumber, we closed in on an enemy position, and in an intense close-quarter gunfight Mark was shot in the face right next to me and died in my arms.\nIn the five years since, I have become intimately familiar with another quiet yet very stoical group of casualties of this country\u2019s war. Mike and Ann Chandler, Mark\u2019s parents, like parents, wives, sisters and brothers up and down this land, now endure a daily sacrifice. It is very difficult for those of us who have not experienced it to truly grasp the bottomless well of grief that comes from losing a child, husband, brother or sister in war as a result of a grave decision made in this House. Theirs is the greatest sacrifice on the altar of this nation\u2019s continuing freedom, and it is a price that is paid daily. For many families up and down this land, it is indeed at every going down of the sun and every morning that we remember them.\nI come here unapologetically to improve the plight of veterans and their families. The last Government under this Prime Minister did more than any before it in this cause, but there is still some way to go. It is a deep privilege to come to this House with the hopes of tens of thousands of Plymothians, and I do not underestimate the duty that is incumbent upon me in the years ahead. I cannot promise anything but noble endeavour, relentless positivity and an abounding sense of duty to look after those who, through no fault of their own, find themselves on the fringes of society, and who find life an interminable struggle. I look forward to the challenge.\nBarry Gardiner Shadow Minister (Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) 7:02 pm, 1st June 2015\nJohnny Mercer spoke with great passion, great eloquence and great courage, and he has clearly come here with a mission to support mental health and our veterans. I was privileged to listen to him and I look forward to seeing him achieve his mission in this Parliament, as he achieved his mission on the battlefield.\nExactly one week before Her Majesty opened this Parliament with the Gracious Address, President Obama gave a speech not in London but in New London, Connecticut, to the United States Coast Guard Academy. He said:\n\u201cI am here today to say that climate change constitutes a serious threat to global security, an immediate risk to our national security. And make no mistake, it will impact how our military defends our country. So we need to act and we need to act now.\u201d\nHe said that climate change posed risks to national security, resulting in humanitarian crises and\n\u201cpotentially increasing refugee flows and exacerbating conflicts over basic resources like food and water.\u201d\nLast summer, I was critical in this House of the Government\u2019s decision not to provide financial support to the Italian Government\u2019s coastguard operation to rescue refugees from Libya. I recall the Minister\u2019s response to me then, which was that such rescue operations acted as a \u201cpull factor\u201d and were only increasing the number of attempts at migration. I thought that an obscene argument then, and in the intervening months we have seen that it was not only obscene but wrong. The number of attempts has increased. On Saturday, the Italian coastguard announced that more than 4,000 migrants had been rescued off Libya\u2019s coast on Friday.\nMy purpose is not to berate the Government for their lack of compassion; I want to look more deeply into why those migrants are coming in the first place. The Libyan civil war was part of a much wider pattern of regional upheavals that we called the Arab spring, which began in Egypt in 2010 with the uprisings in Tahrir Square. However, if we track those disturbances back, we come inexorably to the 2010 drought in Russia\u2019s wheat belt. It was the longest and most severe drought in Russia in more than 50 years. Russia lost 25% of its crops, leading it to impose an export ban on wheat that it had traditionally exported to Egypt. The food crisis in Egypt was the precursor to the Arab spring; the situation was the same in Tunisia and the rest of the Arab world.\nOn 9 September 2010, when the UN\u2019s Food and Agriculture Organisation warned that Syria\u2019s drought was affecting food security and had pushed two million to three million people into \u201cextreme poverty\u201d, few people took any notice. In fact, Syria had suffered four successive years of drought, causing the longest and deepest crop failure since records began in 1900. The losses from these repeated droughts were particularly significant for the population in the north-eastern part of the country. Experts warned at that time that the true figure of those living in \u201cextreme poverty\u201d was even higher than the official estimate of two million to three million people. What is astonishing in military terms is that in September 2010 nobody predicted that such a tinderbox might give rise to civil unrest and the civil war that began only six months later.\nThe International Institute for Strategic Studies is clear about the impact of resource shortages. In 2011, it published a report claiming that climate change\n\u201cwill increase the risks of resource shortages, mass migration, and civil conflict\u201d, and the Ministry of Defence has said that climate change will shift the tipping point at which conflict occurs.\nIt has been a feature of recent debate to talk of the need for the UK, as a member of NATO, to meet the target of 2% of GDP on military spending. Our military do a superb job, but at the moment it is a job carried out within the limits of a very limited political vision. As politicians, we have to understand that the greatest threats to our security are no longer conventional military ones; nor do they come from fundamentalist terrorists. We cannot \u201cnuke\u201d a famine; we cannot send battleships to stop the destruction of a rain forest, but we can spend money on clean technology transfer that enables countries to bring their people out of poverty without polluting their future, and we can invest in adaptation measures that will protect communities from the effects of climate change that are already putting societies under stress.\nNext month, at a UN conference in Addis Ababa, we must begin to align the global financial system with the real economy and the needs of the world\u2019s poor. Then, we will have taken a major step towards achieving real security for our nation and for the people of the world.\nRichard Graham Conservative, Gloucester 7:07 pm, 1st June 2015\nToday, the sub-theme has been maiden speeches in Parliament, and it gives me enormous confidence in the future of Britain in the world that we have representatives of our constituents who will speak up fearlessly and with great clarity.\nFor me, the concept of Britain in the world is a conundrum today. On the one hand, capitalism is priced for peace and confidence; on the other hand, never have our global structures seemed so ineffective in coping with the challenges we face today. Organisations that coped well with the cold war, the iron curtain and the transition from colonialism to independence seem much less able when faced with rogue states and organisations that control vast swathes of territory with arms greater than those of the nation states around them. That presents us with huge challenges.\nIn his speech today, the Foreign Secretary laid out the ambitions that were summarised in the Queen\u2019s Speech. Surely all of us would want us to be ambitious about our role in the world and would want our nation to be able to play its part, as it has done for so long. However, the challenges that we face are considerable, and my belief is that first of all we need to revisit those global structures and question whether they are still entirely fit for purpose and whether in this age\u2014one in which Governments feel more fragile, less in control of our future and less sure about the value of our different unions\u2014the world needs to change our organisations.\nThe specific challenges that were outlined today obviously include our future in the European Union, the future of Ukraine and the eastern border with Russia, and the whole of the middle east. Let me touch briefly on those issues.\nOn the EU, it has always seemed clear to me that we are at our most successful when we find allies who share our values and long-term goals, build our interests together and maintain the balance of power by overcoming the different threats, whether from sun kings, emperors, f\u00fchrers or Russian bears. That is what we must surely do if we are to win in our quest for reform of Europe in a renegotiation and present our constituents with a real option as to what future is best for us in Europe. As part of that, surely the Foreign Affairs Committee must play a role, alongside the Treasury Committee and the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee, in analysing the pros and cons\u2014a real cost-benefit analysis\u2014to our country of being a member, without interfering on each other\u2019s patch, but building a strategic diplomatic analysis of what EU membership offers us. That would include, for example, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with America being negotiated at the moment.\nOn the middle east, the Foreign Secretary rightly said that President Assad was at the heart of the problem, but we have been better at analysing the rulers, organisations and terrorists at the heart of the problem, but not so good at winning the peace after we have removed them. That remains a great challenge for us, and the confidence of our constituents will not be great on action in the middle east until we can reassure them that we have real plans and ways of building nations after we have conquered them.\nIn summary, I believe that we can have a great future in the world\u2014there is a great role for Britain to play\u2014but we must refresh the international organisations, analyse carefully the pros and cons of being in the EU and play our part in the middle east in winning the peace.\nGavin Robinson Shadow Spokesperson (Justice), Shadow DUP Spokesperson (Home Affairs), Shadow DUP Spokesperson (Human Rights) 7:11 pm, 1st June 2015\nMr Deputy Speaker, thank you for calling me in this debate on the Most Gracious Speech. I appreciate the warm wishes of welcome and guidance that I have received from Members throughout the House, but most particularly from those other Democratic Unionists who join me here on the Ulster Benches.\nI remain concerned that anything I might say, or anything that Johnny Mercer did say, will encourage Bob Stewart to raise his game further still than he has already pledged. I fear the consequences of that for us.\nIt is an enormous privilege to address the House and to represent the good people of Belfast East. I am pleased to inform those in the House who have approached me in the last few days inquiring after the health of my mentor and friend, the right hon. Peter Robinson MLA, our First Minister, that he was discharged from hospital on Friday, attended the Irish cup in Royal County Down on Saturday and joked that last week was a worse week for Northern Ireland\u2019s world No. 1 golfer, Rory McIlroy, than for him\u2014but both will bounce back.\nBelfast East has been for generations, and continues to be, the cultural, political and economic heartbeat of Northern Ireland. To anyone who takes the time to read maiden speeches, let me say that it is easy to reminisce about the success of our former glories, whether in the Harland and Wolff shipyard, the world\u2019s largest rope works, the world\u2019s largest cigarette manufacturers or the world renowned aircraft industry. Today, however, I can inform all Members, with privilege and pleasure, that Belfast East retains its status as the economic driver of our region and Northern Ireland as a whole. Bombardier, the aircraft manufacturer, continues to employ more than 5,000 people in my constituency. Harland and Wolff shipyard no longer does what it used to do, but is regaining its place, not only in the maintenance and repair of oilrigs, but in the manufacture of wind turbines for renewable energy. The story of Belfast East is one of continual renewal, and I do believe that there is much hope for the future.\nI pay tribute to my predecessor, Naomi Long, who was the first Member elected to the House as a member of the Alliance party. Anyone who knows her will recognise that not only her tenaciousness but her talent did much for Belfast East. I have been contacted continually by people who recognised her ability and encourage me to take forward the great work she did on freedom of religion for persecuted Christians throughout the world. I pledge myself to do that.\nMuch has been said about the consequences and impact of the general election. For those who were in the Chamber 10 or 20 minutes ago, it could be summed up by the adolescent quest for Lebensraum within this quarter of the Chamber, but it is much more important than that. The general election in Northern Ireland has re-energised Unionism within Northern Ireland. I am delighted to have returned Belfast East to Unionist hands. My colleague, Danny Kinahan, retains his seat for Unionism, but his colleague, Tom Elliott, brings back a seat that was lost some 14 years ago. His is the most westerly constituency of this United Kingdom, and I am delighted to say that it is back in Unionist hands.\nThe lesson for everyone in the House is that the cerebral argument only took us so far last September. All those who value the Union\u2014who recognise the benefits of the Union and are prepared to extol its virtues\u2014need to rekindle the flames of passion and desire for this United Kingdom. Over the course of this Parliament, I pledge myself to advance that cause and to extol the virtues and benefits of the Union across the British Isles, and I pledge myself to the people of Belfast East and to this honourable House.\nNadhim Zahawi Conservative, Stratford-on-Avon 7:16 pm, 1st June 2015\nHaving listened to the hon. Members for Belfast East (Gavin Robinson) and for Great Grimsby (Melanie Onn), my hon. Friend Johnny Mercer and the hon. Member for Ochil and\nSouth Perthshire (Ms Ahmed-Sheikh), I am sure you will agree, Mr Deputy Speaker, that we are going to have a dynamic, robust and diverse Parliament.\nIn seeking to influence international events, we have to make the most of what we have. We have a lot going for us: an open, welcoming, free-trading, entrepreneurial economy; some of the world\u2019s best universities; a global financial hub; the fourth-biggest defence budget; ring-fenced aid spending; and, of course, the English language. Then we have our history, which, for better or worse, binds us to much of the rest of the world. This month marks the 200th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, and much has changed since then.\nAt the battle of Waterloo, we had a stumbling problem with the French, but the Germans came to our assistance in the end. Does my hon. Friend think that that will work in our EU referendum?\nNadhim Zahawi Conservative, Stratford-on-Avon\nIndeed so. My hon. Friend has stolen my punch line. Back in 1815, the main issue confronting His Majesty\u2019s Government was how to prevent Europe from being dominated by a single over-mighty power hellbent on imposing one law across the continent, and as he rightly points out, with a little help from our German friends, we triumphed, to the benefit of all Europeans. I hope that this sets a precedent for our Prime Minister\u2019s renegotiation strategy.\nThe century and a half after Waterloo saw the rise and fall of a global empire. We are still living with that legacy. The question of what role a post-imperial Britain should play in world affairs has never been conclusively answered. I welcome the comments and commitment in the Gracious Speech that the Government will seek a political settlement in Syria and offer further support to the Iraqi Government, but if we are to make good on those commitments, we need to answer that question. It is not enough just to say that we might be a small island but we punch above our weight. It is very true, but it is not a substitute for a serious foreign policy strategy based on a realistic assessment of what we can achieve.\nThe nation-building approach of the 2000s was not realistic. We deposed dictators, we held elections and then we cut and ran. We know all too well that without a lasting political settlement, it does not work, yet the west\u2019s current approach to the world\u2019s trouble spots, while most realistic, is not serious. Now we do the bare minimum, acting piecemeal and always reactively. We can see that in the current conflict with ISIL. Despite the warnings of regional allies, the capture of Mosul took us by surprise. Our response has been, yes, a few airstrikes and some small arms grudgingly supplied to the Kurds. That approach does not deliver results. It leaves our regional allies high and dry and helps to feed the middle east\u2019s vast conspiracy theory industry. On the Arab street, the word today is that the west itself is behind ISIL\u2019s recent victories, and that we are employing the classic colonial tactic of divide and rule.\nWe need a new approach for foreign policy\u2014one that recognises that, although we cannot design the world in our own image, we are not powerless to influence events and that it is still possible to play a constructive role through intelligent long-term engagement. That requires us to be more flexible, more innovative and, dare I say, more patient. We need to recognise that, although we cannot act alone, we occupy a unique position in international diplomacy, with disproportionate soft power as the closest ally of the world\u2019s only superpower and with the finest diplomatic service in the world, a tradecraft honed over many centuries of global engagement. As we seek to exert our influence, we need to bring all three advantages to bear.\nWe also need to get better at working with the reality on the ground rather than trying to fit the facts into a preconceived policy. In Iraq and Syria today, the reality on the ground is that the best the west can hope for is a form of loose federation, with high levels of autonomy for each of the region\u2019s communities, a fair division of the oil wealth and a federal Government that are seen to govern in the interests of all. Our middle east policy, which has always been based around unitary states with strong centres, now needs to reflect the reality. That means effectively arming the Kurds, who have proved to be one of our most reliable allies in the region. We should be talent spotting the next generation of Sunni politicians, whose support is vital to a lasting peace in both Iraq and Syria.\nStephen Twigg Shadow Minister (Justice) 7:21 pm, 1st June 2015\nI refer to my entries in the Register of Members\u2019 Financial Interests.\nWe have heard seven fantastic maiden speeches this afternoon, so I would like to pay tribute to the hon. Members for Fareham (Suella Fernandes), for Taunton Deane (Rebecca Pow) and for Ochil and South Perthshire (Ms Ahmed-Sheikh), to the hon. Members for Plymouth, Moor View (Johnny Mercer) and for Belfast East (Gavin Robinson) and to my hon. Friends the Members for Burnley (Julie Cooper) and for Great Grimsby (Melanie Onn). I am sure that all seven will have a fantastic time serving in this House.\nThis year is an important one for international development, with a summit next month in Addis Ababa on financing for development, a summit in New York on the post-2015 sustainable development goals in September and the Paris climate change conference in December. Those provide an important opportunity for the UK to play a leading and constructive role.\nTen years ago, I visited the African country of Rwanda for the first time. I saw for myself the remarkable progress that the people had made in the 11 years that followed the horrors of the 1994 genocide, and I saw the hugely positive impact that the Department for International Development had made in supporting Rwanda\u2019s progress. Rwanda is a great example of how development policy can help to rebuild countries riven by conflict. I welcome the Government\u2019s reaffirmation of the 0.7% commitment to overseas aid, and I urge the Secretary of State to use the opportunity of her closing speech today to challenge those EU countries that have not made the progress that we have made, and to say that it is simply unacceptable that the EU\u2019s timescale for the achievement of 0.7% is so slow.\nOf course, international development is not just about aid. That is why the Addis Ababa summit on financing for development is so important, ensuring that we can expand the sources of finance available to grow businesses in the least developed countries. There is a focus on infrastructure, including water, sanitation and energy, and a focus on promoting public services, including health care, education and social protection.\nLike their predecessor, this Government have rightly placed support for women and girls at the heart of international development. I pay tribute to the former Foreign Secretary, William Hague, for his important work on tackling violence against women and girls.\nIncreasingly, conflict is both a cause and a consequence of the challenges we face in international development. I would like the Secretary of State to address two current situations in her closing remarks. The first is what is happening in the Central African Republic, where we have seen progress over the last month with the Bangui forum and the Brussels conference. There is a real prospect of national reconciliation led by the Central Africans themselves. Europe is committed to establishing a trust fund to support the Central African Republic, which is welcome. Will the Secretary of State consider making a UK contribution to that trust fund?\nThe second was raised by my hon. Friend Jonathan Ashworth\u2014the plight of the Rohingya people in Burma, who face extraordinary persecution. Many of them are now living in camps, while others have escaped on boats. This is an urgent humanitarian crisis, in which the Governments of Burma and its neighbours surely have a responsibility to protect the Rohingya people.\nI believe that the work of DFID is crucial and that its impact will be maximised if a commitment to development is placed at the heart of Government\u2014across all Departments and speaking with one voice. Parliament itself can play an important role through the Select Committees, the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, the Inter-Parliamentary Union and other bodies. Let us resolve today to place international development centre stage in this Parliament, because it is both the right thing to do and in the best interests of our country, our economy and our long-term security.\nMaria Caulfield Conservative, Lewes 7:25 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a pleasure to follow Stephen Twigg, and I want to thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to today\u2019s debate. I am very grateful for the fact that I have been able to catch your eye to make my maiden speech. What a task I have to follow some of the most awe-inspiring individuals, with their stories about what led them to this House. Let me extend my thanks to you and your staff, Mr Deputy Speaker, for the warm welcome and help you have shown to me and indeed to all new Members.\nToday\u2019s debate on the Queen\u2019s Speech is about Britain\u2019s place in the world. Speaking as the daughter of Irish immigrants, I take particular interest in the proposed immigration Bill. My parents came to this country at a time when resentment against immigrants and immigration was high, and for them, as for the parents of my hon. Friend Suella Fernandes, these were difficult times. My mum was a nurse, and my dad, who was a builder, had to face those signs saying \u201cNo blacks, no Irish\u201d when they first came to the UK, looking for a place to stay or work.\nThe proposed immigration Bill sets out clearly a warm welcome to all those who want to work legally in this country, paying their taxes and contributing to their communities. It sends a clear message, however, to those who come here to work illegally and to those who aim to exploit the migrant worker.\nI do not suppose that, during their first few difficult years living in this country, my parents ever thought that their daughter would become a Member of Parliament\u2014and what an honour it is to be the Member of Parliament for the constituency of Lewes.\nFor those who do not know, Lewes is set in the heart of East Sussex and it is a very large constituency geographically. It includes the town of Lewes, but also the towns of Seaford, Newhaven and Polegate, and it is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK.\nThe constituency of Lewes has a long history in the political landscape of this country. As we have heard, as long ago as 1264 Simon de Montfort fought in the battle of Lewes to set up the first parliamentary system of democracy in this country. His motto was \u201cEngland for the English\u201d. How appropriate, then, it is that this Queen\u2019s Speech proposes Bills to deal with the issues surrounding devolution. How sad it is, though, that nearly 751 years later, this Parliament is still fighting for English votes for English laws.\nLewes is probably more famous for its bonfire societies and big annual fireworks displays. Various effigies are burnt each year, and some notable current Members have had that privilege bestowed on them\u2014including the Prime Minister and the former Deputy Prime Minister. Last year, it was the turn of Alex Salmond, who was burnt not just once, but twice\u2014just to make sure!\nAt this point, I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Norman Baker, who was the Member of Parliament for Lewes for over 18 years. Although we disagreed on a number of issues, his reputation as a hard-working constituency MP has to be admired.\nThe Queen\u2019s Speech sets out a clear vision of what our country can be: a country of security and opportunity for everyone. As someone who grew up in an ordinary working-class family, who went to an ordinary state school, and who never had the chance to go to university, even when there were no tuition fees, I was taught by my parents the Conservative philosophy that those who work hard enough can achieve anything in life.\nI know that I am running out of time, but I want to pay tribute to the people with whom I have worked for the last 15 years. From an early age, I wanted to be a nurse and follow in my mum\u2019s footsteps. When I was a teenager and she died of breast cancer, I decided that I wanted to help to tackle the disease. For the last 15 years, I have worked under the guardianship of Professors Johnston and Smith and the whole team at the Royal Marsden Hospital, making a real difference to people suffering from that disease. It is certainly no coincidence that there are seven NHS doctors and three NHS nurses on the Conservative Benches, which proves that the NHS is safe in Conservative hands.\nThe Queen\u2019s Speech is a programme that supports ordinary working families like mine. It encourages job creation, and provides tax cuts for individuals, more help for families with childcare, and a strong and properly funded NHS. I am proud to serve as the Member of Parliament for Lewes, but I am also proud to be part of the Conservative team that delivered this Queen\u2019s Speech.\nConor McGinn Labour, St Helens North 7:31 pm, 1st June 2015\nThank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for affording me the opportunity to make my maiden speech in this debate on the Gracious Speech. Let me begin by paying tribute to other hon. Members who have made their maiden speeches today. They have set a high standard for those of us who must follow them.\nIt is truly a special honour to speak in the House as the newly elected Member of Parliament for St Helens North. My constituency has the proud history and traditions that would be expected from a place born of the industrial revolution, built on mining communities, and situated in the heart of the north-west of England. Our towns, villages and parishes have unique and strong individual identities that have been forged over centuries. St Helens town has its reputation as the home of glass that gave the world the Pilkington process of float glass, and the famous Saints, our rugby league team, are the current Super League champions.\nOur other town, Newton-le-Willows, was mentioned in the Domesday Book. It came to prominence in the 19th century as a railway town, and its Vulcan Foundry was one of the foremost locomotive manufacturers of the age. Along with neighbouring Earlestown, it has one of the oldest existing railway stations in the country. A memorial in the station commemorates William Huskisson, an MP for Liverpool who became one of the world\u2019s first widely reported railway casualties when, in 1830, he was run over and fatally wounded by a train in my constituency. His distinguished career as Secretary of State for War and the Colonies was cut short on that fateful day. Perhaps to err on the side of caution, I shall resist the temptation to invite any members of the current Government to visit my constituency\u2014or at least, if I do, I shall advise them to travel by road.\nIn the north-eastern part of my constituency, the hill and beacon tower at Billinge mark the highest point in Merseyside. To the west, Rainford and its surroundings are testimony to the overlooked rural and agricultural nature of much of the area. Haydock, I am sure, will be known to some Members as home to the eponymous racecourse, one of the finest in the country, which holds flat and national hunt meetings throughout the year.\nSt Helens North has a distinguished history and great potential for the future, but I fear that things will not be easy in the time ahead. I know that many of my constituents are worried about what lies ahead for them and their families. I can only assure them that I will fight every day for our community, championing jobs and investment, standing up for the most vulnerable, and always defending the interests of our area.\nI do not wish to confuse you or the House, Mr Deputy Speaker. I can see from the puzzled look on some faces that there is bewilderment at this strange St Helens accent, which sounds remarkably like the dulcet Ulster tones that are more associated with Northern Ireland Members. There is a song called \u201cThe Boys from the County Armagh\u201d, which contains the lines\n\u201cMy heart is at home in old Ireland,\nIn the County of Armagh\u201d.\nI am one of those boys, and mine is, but if I might be allowed a somewhat metaphysical addition to the lyrics, I would say that my heart, along with my head and my feet, is also at home in the north-west of England, in the constituency of St Helens North.\nIf we are to describe generations as children of a seminal figure or defining events, I am most certainly a child of the peace process. The changed relationship between Britain and Ireland, and the end of the terrible conflict that caused so much pain to the peoples of these islands, have afforded me opportunities that were denied to many who came before me. I am in debt to all in the House and outside it who have, through their sacrifice, courage and leadership over many years, helped to build peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland. I do not wish to disrupt the etiquette of the House, but I hope that I may be allowed to call them all my honourable friends.\nWhere previously there were suspicion and mistrust, today there are friendship and co-operation between the United Kingdom and Ireland. There is no longer any contradiction in being Irish and British, and having feelings of loyalty and affinity to both countries. The contribution made by the Irish in Britain to society here has helped to make that possible. It is valued and respected, and has helped to make this the great nation that it is. I hope that, in keeping with that tradition, I can make my own contribution through membership of the House of Commons.\nMy predecessor served the House and the people of St Helens North diligently for 17 years. Dave Watts is one of the finest men I know. He epitomises all that is noble about public service, and all that is good about politics. His work for his constituency, and his devotion to his constituents, are an example to us all. Dave served as the chair of the parliamentary Labour party. He is a solid Labour man in the best working-class traditions of our movement. I thank him, his wife Avril, and their family for everything they have done for St Helens North and its people, and for me as well.\nLet me end by saying that I come to the House committed to representing my constituents, and determined to work hard for my constituency. I made the people of St Helens North a promise that I would do my best for them, and it is a promise that I intend to keep.\nBoris Johnson Mayor of London 7:37 pm, 1st June 2015\nI congratulate Conor McGinn on one of a series of fantastic maiden speeches that we have heard this evening. I stress that mine is not a maiden speech\u2014I have been specifically instructed by Mr Speaker that whatever maiden status I may once have possessed has long since passed away\u2014but it gives me an opportunity to pay tribute to my great predecessor in the office of Member of Parliament for Uxbridge and South Ruislip, Sir John Randall.\nJohn Randall was one of the kindest and wisest people in this place, and one of the very few Conservatives to forecast with complete accuracy what would go wrong with the Iraq war. Members may recall that he stepped down from the Front Bench before the invasion, with absolutely no self-advertisement, and never drew any attention to the fact that he had got it so thumpingly right. It is, incidentally, a measure of his popularity in Uxbridge that, at a recent electoral hustings there, virtually every candidate stood up to claim that he or she was the true heir of John Randall. \u201cI am John Randall,\u201d they kept saying, meaning them rather than me. I have to accept that I am not John Randall, but I will do my best to emulate him in his service to the constituency, and to London more broadly.\nWe are seeing fantastic success in this city. I am delighted to say that, as Hansard will confirm, during my final appearance in the House seven years ago I pointed out to the then Prime Minister that I had just banned alcohol on public transport. I was interrupted by the Speaker, and ordered to sit down. I do not know what objection he had to our policy. I now want to point out that, as a result of that policy, crime on London transport has fallen by 50%. Crime on buses has fallen by 50%, and we now have the safest tube network anywhere in Europe. As a result of the continual improvements we are seeing in our city we have the most dynamic urban economy anywhere in Europe\u2014and I am grateful for the many excellent measures in the Queen\u2019s Speech, which I will rapidly summarise as this 12-minute oration has been compressed to four.\nI am delighted that we will see the stopping of the madness of a transport strike being triggered by a tiny minority\u2014something City Hall has long advocated\u2014and devolution to the great economic powerhouses of the cities of England. Fiscal devolution will enable us to build Crossrail 2 and many other wonderful projects\u2014many hundreds of thousands. I also approve, by the way, of the decision to allow people to buy their own housing association homes, provided it leads to the rapid construction of more homes\u2014low-cost homes\u2014and it keeps the revenue raised for investment in housing in London.\nCan my hon. Friend tell us how many houses he has built in London during his mayoralty?\nI am delighted that my hon. Friend reminds me that under this mayoralty, and indeed under this Government, we built far more homes than Labour did in 13 years. We have built a record number of affordable homes, and we will go on until May 2016 to build a record 100,000 affordable homes over eight years.\nThanks to the hard and successful work of the Conservative-led Government over the last four years, we have a strong, dynamic, successful economy, but the most exciting thing for me, as someone who came into politics more than 20 years ago, is that we now have a Tory-majority Government with a clear mandate to seek change, and therefore a Government in the most powerful position in our lifetimes to deliver reform and improvement in Europe. We can win that argument by being relentlessly positive and by making it clear that what we are advocating is in the interests not simply of Britain but of the entire European Union.\nI congratulate the Prime Minister on the \u00e9lan and success with which he has begun his pan-European schmoozathon in the chancelleries of Europe. I believe his efforts will be crowned with success, but I would remind him of something that I think all of us would want to remind him, our negotiators, the Foreign Secretary and everybody else: if you are going to go into a difficult international negotiation, you have to be prepared to walk away if you do not get the result you want.\nI really feel that the next thought my hon. Friend is about to express deserves an extra minute in which to express it.\nI am obliged, because it is absolutely right that if we do not get a deal that is in the interests of this country or of Europe we should be prepared to strike out and forge an alternative future that could be just as glorious and just as prosperous, with a free-trading arrangement.\nI notice that, in the course of trying to settle this argument over the last few days, assorted speakers have invoked the memory of Winston Churchill in one way or another. Churchill is absolutely useless on this subject. He is biblical in this matter; we can find a text to justify almost any proposition about our relations with Europe that we choose, but one thing he believed in passionately was in Parliament as the expression of the will of the British people, and he would want to see that democratic principle upheld today.\nIf in the course of those negotiations the Prime Minister wants to invite any of our partners to see the contribution of this country to the prosperity and unity of modern Europe, he could do no better than take them to Uxbridge, where it is now possible to view the amazing bunker that housed Fighter Command No. 11 group operations room, one of the most moving and atmospheric places in this country.\nDanny Kinahan UUP, South Antrim 7:44 pm, 1st June 2015\nHow do you follow that? We would love to see many of those houses being built in Northern Ireland. I have greatly enjoyed listening to the other hon. Members making their speeches and learning about their constituencies, and especially the very moving speech by Johnny Mercer.\nIt is an immense honour to have been elected to this House as an Ulster Unionist\u2014the first Ulster Unionist here for 10 years\u2014and I pledge to work tirelessly for absolutely everybody in the constituency of South Antrim. But first I very genuinely would like to thank Rev. Dr William McCrea for his many years of work as the MP and especially his staff, who suffer the consequences of losing an election, for all their hard work.\nSouth Antrim is a typically farming, rural and also urban constituency, providing that great produce that is typical of Northern Ireland\u2014Irish beef, lamb and pork. In 2016, Northern Ireland is going to have a year of celebrating our local produce, and I hope all Members will go there to taste our fare, especially the eels from Toombridge.\nWithin the constituency we have many enterprises of size that thrive. We have the world\u2019s top web-based bicycle company; we have the world\u2019s top pharmaceutical diagnostic company with 5% of the world\u2019s population using its diagnostics; and we have one of the world\u2019s largest vehicle tyre pressure gauge-producing companies. But I want to see many, many more businesses, small, medium and large, moving to Northern Ireland, so that we can tackle the unemployment that is rife in so many places.\nSouth Antrim is also brimming with history and historical sites, and it is timely to remember that towns and villages like Ballyclare and Randalstown with their long-established horse fairs were key to the supplying of horses for the great cavalry regiments and the artillery at Waterloo and in the first world war.\nIn sport, we are lucky to have the greatest jump jockey ever in A. P. McCoy, two of the world\u2019s top golfers, one of the world\u2019s top snooker players, and not long ago, but very much still with us, probably the greatest rugby player of all time\u2014all from South Antrim.\nI am born and bred in South Antrim and, despite the dulcet tones that do not quite match those of my colleague Conor McGinn, my life has encompassed so much of what is referred to by so many as the troubles, living only six miles from the Aldergrove military base, where the RAF, the Army Air Corps and many infantry and cavalry regiments were based, and through which most units entered Northern Ireland. Just close to home in Antrim is also Massereene barracks where the Royal Engineers were to make their home. The military presence in Northern Ireland was part of day-to-day life. Horrors and heroes abound, but with the mention of Massereene we should remember Sappers Quinsey and Azimkar, who were so cruelly murdered by dissidents on the eve of going to do their duty in Afghanistan.\nToday I would like to ask everyone in this House to remember all those soldiers, sailors, airmen\u2014some 250,000\u2014and also the politicians, the civil servants, the businessmen, and so many more who over the last 45 years have done so much for Northern Ireland, 1,441 giving their lives. I would like every Member of this House to go back to their constituencies and say a huge thank you, because all those have helped us to get where we are today and we are phenomenally grateful.\nI want to see this House carry on with spend on defence\u20142%, but even more\u2014but I pledged to my electorate that I would do everything I politically could to make sure that the military covenant was put in place properly in Northern Ireland. The current situation cannot be allowed to continue, with some military veterans feeling like second-class citizens in their own country.\nI had a 10-minute speech, which became an eight-minute speech, a six-minute speech and then a four-minute speech. The other great point I want to make is on the Union. Everyone here has a little bit of every country in them and, thinking back to the great Union Brigade charging at Waterloo, there were the Scots Greys, the Inniskillings, the Royals and many, many more. We need the Union to hold together, because it is the Union working together that will keep making this place great.\nScott Mann Conservative, North Cornwall 7:50 pm, 1st June 2015\nI follow some truly brilliant speeches this evening, and I am grateful to you, Mr Deputy Speaker, for calling me to make my maiden speech.\nToday\u2019s debate is about Britain\u2019s place in the world, but I would like to spend a few minutes talking about North Cornwall\u2019s place in Britain and the world, and how the Government of this country can help aspiring people in our area to get the best out of their life. Before I do that, however, I take a moment to praise the work of my predecessor, Dan Rogerson. Prior to my election, the North Cornwall seat was held by the Liberal Democrats and, before that, the Liberal party for 23 years. Gerry Neale was the last Conservative MP for North Cornwall, with Paul Tyler and Dan Rogerson following him. Dan Rogerson championed the cause of Cornwall during his 10 years in office. He talked in the House about rural affairs many times, and he was favourably considered on numerous doorsteps that I visited during the campaign. Dan was a hard-working local champion, and I genuinely wish him well in his future endeavours.\nNorth Cornwall is seen by many as an idyllic coastal retreat, a place to escape the pressures of city life. Our glorious sandy beaches are enjoyed by thousands of visitors every year, including my right hon. Friend Mr Cameron. We have many strings to our bow. Our rugged coastal paths and inland walkways are enjoyed not only by British residents but by walkers from across the globe. Travelling further afield, people may stumble across Bodmin moor and its charming surrounding villages. The vast sweeping fields of gorse and granite are the perfect place for a spot of reflection after a hard working week.\nUntil three weeks ago I worked as a postman, a job I thoroughly enjoyed for 20 years. After being elected to Parliament I received national press when it became known that I was delivering leaflets not only for myself but for my political opponents. I never realised how vast the corridors of this place were. I spent more time walking during my first week here than I ever did walking the streets of Wadebridge with my delivery pouch.\nI got involved in politics in 2007 when I heard my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney make his first speech as Conservative leader. At the time I had been fortunate to secure an affordable house in my hometown of Wadebridge. Some 200 people with whom I had grown up tried for it, but they were not so lucky. His speech delivered a message of less state intervention, giving people the ability to go out to seek their ambitions, making it better to be in work than out of work and giving people the opportunity to aspire to do the things they wish to do. I decided at that moment to get involved in local government, and now I am here.\nMuch has been made of blue collar conservatism in recent weeks. The overriding factor that unites our party is the drive for aspiration and the willingness to help people get on, such as the lobster fisherman from Port Isaac who wishes to sell his product directly off his boat; the farmer from Davidstow who seeks a good price for his crops, milk and beef; the young family from Blisland who are looking to purchase their first home; the pensioner from Camelford who seeks security in his old age; or the entrepreneur from Bude who is looking to set up and run a business for the first time. I am here for them.\nDuring my candidacy, I literally delivered a six-point plan for North Cornwall. I now intend to put those words into action in this Chamber. Housing has been a big issue for a long time. Net inward migration to Cornwall places pressure on constituents on modest wages who are reaching for their first home. There is no silver bullet to solve that problem. The previous Government did a huge amount with the Help to Buy scheme, but there is much more we can do. With the potential for 47,000 new homes in Cornwall over the next 20 years, many of those homes should be given to aspiring young people who are looking to get on. I wish to explore further self-build projects to help community land trusts to give people the ability to build their own home, instead of having someone else build it for them. I also want to see a halt to the industrialisation of our countryside. I want to see an end to onshore wind subsidy and a move to tidal and geothermal.\nSupport for small businesses must continue, and we have done a huge amount through small business rate relief. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy and, with the advent of high-speed broadband, we can nurture our farming, fishing and tourism industries and expand into new enterprises, promoting North Cornwall not only as a place to go on holiday but as a place to do business.\nMany people in Cornwall are proud of their heritage, their traditions and their culture, and it gave me great pleasure in recent weeks to say my oath in the native tongue of the duchy. When my hon. Friend Mrs Murray seconded the Queen\u2019s Speech, she referred to Cornwall\u2019s MPs as the Prime Minister\u2019s \u201csix-pack\u201d. It was not always that way. Up until the reforms of 1832, Cornwall returned 44 Members of Parliament, as opposed to 45 for the whole of Scotland. With the greatest of respect to my Scottish colleagues, it would have been nice to refer to the 44-pack, rather than the six-pack. What we lose in number, however, we more than make up for in our desire to put Cornwall firmly on the map. Cornwall as a whole has been described in the past as the tail-end of the country. I see my job over the next five years as being to let people know that Cornwall is where the country starts, not where the country ends. During the next five years I am looking forward to getting my teeth into the Government\u2019s Bills to further the aspiration of my constituents, both young and old, and to deliver for North Cornwall.\nFabian Hamilton Labour, Leeds North East 7:56 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a privilege to follow Scott Mann, whom I congratulate on his maiden speech. Perhaps he could continue to do us a service by delivering Labour leaflets in future. It is also a privilege to follow Danny Kinahan, and I congratulate him on his speech. As a keen cyclist, I think I know the company to which he refers, but I am probably not allowed to mention it in the Chamber\u2014it is a very good online company that I should think provides a lot of employment in his constituency. I also thank the electors of Leeds North East for returning me for a fifth time with the highest number of Labour votes ever achieved in the constituency, once the home of the late, great Sir Keith Joseph but now a solid Labour seat.\nI am proud that, among the many good things that the last Labour Government did, they established the Department for International Development in 1997. That was the first time that development had a Minister at Cabinet level in any Government in the western world. The coalition, of course, continued that support for international development across all parties. Earlier this year, the millennium development goal of 0.7% of gross domestic product being assigned to international development was enshrined in statute. I hope that the new Government will also continue that commitment to the wise spending of UK taxpayers\u2019 money to help fight poverty in the poorest countries of the world.\nAs a member of the Select Committee on International Development in the last Parliament, I saw first hand how effectively DFID works and the good reputation it has in all the countries in which it operates. Last February, for example, the Committee went to Nepal. We saw for ourselves not only the contingency work against earthquakes that DFID was paying for but all the other excellent projects that help to bring some of the poorest people in the world out of poverty. I hope that the work for which DFID paid saved lives when the earthquake came just two months later. DFID has also supported the fight against the spread of Ebola in Sierra Leone and Liberia. The Committee visited those countries in 2014 just before the terrible outbreak.\nDFID also supports Syrian refugees, not in the UK but in the neighbouring countries to which they fled such as Lebanon and Jordan, where we went in March 2014. Jordan is one of the most water-poor countries in the world, yet it supports a 20% increase in its population from Syria. We went to the Zaatari refugee camp near Mafraq, where we saw how a city the size of Cambridge\u2014100,000 people\u2014had been created in just 12 days, largely paid for by British taxpayers\u2019 money and very well operated. We visited the poorest farmers in the Jordan valley, seeing how DFID cash was used there in the Occupied Palestinian Territories to support those farmers and ensure they could bring their produce to market.\nFinally, I wish to say a word about the Independent Commission for Aid Impact, which was set up by Mr Mitchell when he was Secretary of State for International Development. In 2013, I took over responsibility for chairing the ICAI Sub-Committee of the International Development Committee. In that role, I was asked to be involved in the appointment of the new chief commissioner and three other commissioners to take over from Graham Ward, the first chief commissioner, who was appointed by the then Secretary of State in 2011. I am delighted that Alison Evans, the former chief executive of the Overseas Development Institute, has been appointed. She will do a good job to make sure that we get value for money for all our spending on overseas development and aid.\nOrder. It might be helpful if I pointed out that there is a four-minute limit on speeches. Some latitude has been allowed and I will continue to allow a little bit of elasticity, but one of the properties of elastic is that it is not infinitely stretchable and at some point it will snap. Hon. Members who have still to make speeches should be aware of that.\nAndrew Rosindell Conservative, Romford 8:00 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a privilege to follow so many new Members who have spoken so eloquently and who will undoubtedly be great champions of their constituencies in the years ahead. I am proud to be sitting on the Benches of a majority Conservative Government for the first time in my 14 years as a Member of Parliament and to be able to reply in this debate to the speech by Her Majesty the Queen. We were elected as a majority Conservative Government and we must govern as a Conservative Government. We can now do the right thing; we no longer need to worry about the coalition or minority parties. We, as a Conservative Government, can and must do the right thing for our country.\nI am also delighted to note that we have two new Unionist Members of Parliament, and so there are now 10 Unionist MPs from Northern Ireland. We were particularly inspired by the comments made by Danny Kinahan, who spoke so eloquently about the troubles in Northern Ireland and the sacrifices that have been made in that part of our United Kingdom. That reminds me of the great Ian Gow, who was murdered by the IRA 25 years ago next month, on 30 July 1990. He gave the first televised speech here, during the debate on the Queen\u2019s Speech in 1989, when he advised us all never to give in to terrorism and always to stand firm for our country\u2019s sovereignty and independence.\nThat is what we must do as a majority Conservative Government. We live in a dangerous world, but we must defend British subjects wherever they may be in the world. That means not only that we must do a lot more for our British overseas territories, particularly Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands, but that we must work to strengthen our links with the Commonwealth of nations. I know that the people of my constituency would support me completely in that. Of course Romford was the first Conservative gain after 1997, and I am delighted that so many more new Conservative MPs have been elected since then.\nOne thing we must do\u2014we must not let the British people down\u2014is deal with the issue of the European Union. Our Prime Minister has an opportunity to be bold and radical in the changes he seeks in United Kingdom-EU relations. It is a historic endeavour and an opportunity, for good, to set Britain\u2019s place in Europe and the world on the right track. We need a new and totally different relationship with the EU\u2014not a minor change, but a fundamental one. We need trade and co-operation, and not political union. I hope and believe that the Prime Minister will rise to this great challenge as leader of the entire nation. We need to be a sovereign nation over our trade agreements, our laws, our border controls, our social and domestic policies, and our agriculture and fishing. Above all, this Parliament must be supreme. That is what the British people want and demand, and we must not let them down. Margaret Thatcher made it clear that it was a historic mistake to join a political union. Our current Prime Minister has the chance now to put that right and to ensure that Britain goes back to being a sovereign, independent nation of free people.\nAlbert Owen Labour, Ynys M\u00f4n 8:04 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a great pleasure to speak in this debate, because we have heard so many excellent maiden speeches, along with those of other hon. and right hon. Members. It is also a pleasure to follow Andrew Rosindell, who came into the House on the same occasion as I did in 2001. We did so along with Boris Johnson. He and I shared accommodation in Norman Shaw North at the time, and I used to joke that I saw more of him on \u201cHave I Got News for You\u201d than I did in Norman Shaw North. But it is good to see him back, and in the meantime I have continued to be the full-time Member of Parliament for Ynys M\u00f4n. It is an island community and an outward-looking community at the heart of the British Isles. I am proud to be Welsh, proud to be British and proud to be a member of the European Community and of the international community. Today\u2019s debate sets the scene in that regard. I shall come to the subject of the European Union\u2014I prefer to call it the European Community rather than European Union\u2014and the referendum shortly.\nThe Queen\u2019s Speech said that the Government would \u201cre-engage\u201d Britain in international affairs. There has been some disengagement in recent years, and I hope that we can once again raise our profile on the international stage. I totally agree with Dr Lewis that the strategic defence review in the last Parliament was not strategic. I understand the reasons the Government have given, but our future direction must be strategic and our defence must be done on strategic grounds. We have a proud record, and, as has been indicated, the Department for International Development does excellent work. I am very proud that the previous Labour Government set up the Department and focused attention on international development, making Britain a leader on that in world affairs. We have been leaders in many areas, not least defending women and children in the world, helping the poorest children in the world get education and tackling Ebola. We have been leaders in all those areas and we must be very proud of our involvement in world affairs. I also welcome the shadow Foreign Secretary to his place and welcome his excellent speech about our place in the world.\nI am very pro-European Union and I feel we have a role to play in it. It is not just me saying that, because during the general election I met many small businesses and farmers from my community, and many large businesses that had invested in my constituency, and they wanted Britain to be at the heart of the EU over the next few years. I will support the Prime Minister if he is clear on what kind of reform he wants. It is incumbent on Government Front Benchers in today\u2019s debate\u2014I know the Foreign Secretary cannot be with us, but I hope that the Secretary of State for International Development will do this in her wind-up\u2014to make it clear exactly what we want in those reforms. This Parliament needs to know that early on, and I will be supporting a yes vote for Ynys M\u00f4n to be at the heart of not just the British Isles but the European Community. Wales, the nation that I am proud to represent, is a net beneficiary from the European Union, to the tune of some \u00a3200 million per year. Business benefits from it, and I want to be at the heart of it. Britain deserves to raise its profile and I hope we can all work together to ensure that Britain is the leader in the world, where it belongs: at the top table.\nFlick Drummond Conservative, Portsmouth South 8:09 pm, 1st June 2015\nI am delighted to be making my maiden speech during the debate on Her Majesty\u2019s Gracious Speech, but it is with some trepidation that I follow so many eloquent and awesome Members of this Parliament, both new and longer-serving. I wish to thank my predecessor, another eloquent speaker, Mike Hancock, for his long service to the community in Portsmouth South. Mike, a Pompey boy, was a city councillor for 40 years and worked as the cabinet member for planning and regeneration while a Member of Parliament for 18 years. Juggling two jobs cannot have been easy. I have heard from many constituents of his good work helping them with their problems. I know that the House of Commons will miss his sartorial elegance. I also thank him for the well organised boxes of casework, which will make it easier for me to do my job.\nUnlike Mike, I was born not in Portsmouth but in Yemen, but I shall say more on that later. I am very grateful to the people of Portsmouth for adopting me over the past eight years that I have lived there. I will be a fierce defender of their interests, always putting them first.\nPortsmouth South is made up of a number of communities. It is 4 miles long and 2 miles deep, and I can cycle it within 15 minutes. It is a city of great contrast: rich and poor live side by side, making it a compassionate city with a caring community of people who help each other. Heavily bombed during the war, the city has beautiful Georgian streets next to brutalist 1960s and 1970s tower blocks. Our literary history belies the low education standards, which I am pleased to say are rising fast. Our proud heritage includes the birthplace of Charles Dickens, whose house is now a museum, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who also played for the first Portsmouth football club, Rudyard Kipling, HG Wells and Nevile Shute, who lived two streets away from me.\nThe first school in Portsmouth to become an academy, Charter Academy, has transformed the lives of people from one of our most deprived areas, and was the most improved school in the whole country last year, going from 3% to 85% of pupils gaining five or more GCSEs, which is a testament to the hard work and leadership of the teachers. The children are now getting an education that will take them out of poverty. They are involved in the Portsmouth Sail Training Trust, the boxing at the heart of Portsmouth Academy and other activities that are usually associated only with private education.\nI am a proud governor of a rapidly improving school, Milton Park Primary. It provides for children with autism who are integrated in the mainstream school, and we welcome children with disabilities. I am determined that our education system will give every child the opportunities that they deserve and be a beacon in the country. Portsmouth University is in the top group of British universities for many of its faculties, and I was in awe of the creative arts graduates who held their show last Friday.\nThe city of contrasts can be seen in our historic dockyard where world-famous attractions such as the Mary Rose, HMS Victory and HMS Warrior lie next to the latest Royal Navy Type 45 destroyers and the new aircraft carriers, which we will receive shortly. Those huge ships will be a boost to our defences, and I will be making sure that there are enough Type 26 frigates and other ships to defend our shores and interests around the world.\nContrast can also be seen in two new ventures in my constituency, the International Boatbuilding Training College, of which I am trustee, and Ben Ainslie Racing: one delivers craftsmanship with transferrable skills, and the other is involved in high-tech yacht racing, using all the latest materials. High-tech maritime expertise is one of Portsmouth\u2019s biggest exports, and we are looking forward to hosting the first America\u2019s Cup world series on the weekend of 23 July.\nAlong our sea front, we have a traditional funfair at Clarence Pier and a Victorian pier, South Parade Pier, that is being restored by local businessmen. We have streets of individual shops but also an outlet centre\u2014Gunwharf Quays\u2014with entertainment and restaurants that attracts people from miles around. We do need further investment in our commercial district as we serve a big community in Hampshire, Surrey and west Sussex, and our city is worth investing in. I could not finish selling the city in which I live without mentioning Portsmouth Football Club, which has won the FA cup twice, most recently in 2008, and which has a regular attendance of more than 15,000.\nI am glad to be able to speak in this debate. As I mentioned, I was born in Aden in Yemen where my father was serving in the Army, in the Trucial Oman Scouts. He was then recruited into the intelligence services where he had a distinguished career in all the trouble spots\u2014in Nigeria, the middle east, Pakistan and India\u2014with his family in tow. He worked for this country for 46 years, joining as a soldier at the age of 18 and dying aged 64 of an aortic dissection coming home from work. I know that the House has paid tribute to those in the armed forces and I am sure that Members will agree with me that our intelligence services, both past and present, should be included in that tribute. Much of their work goes unseen and unrecognised while they continue to keep our country safe both here and abroad. I know that they need the resources to continue that good work and I will be supporting legislation that enables them to do so.\nPatrick Grady Shadow SNP Spokesperson (International Development) 8:14 pm, 1st June 2015\nPeace to this House. On the day I was selected as the candidate for Glasgow North and on the day of the Queen\u2019s Speech last week, the Gospel reading at Mass was from a passage of Luke which said:\n\u201cWhatever house you go into, let your first words be, \u2018Peace to this house.\u2019\u201d\nIt seems entirely appropriate to make my maiden speech now, and I am very grateful to have been able to catch your eye, Mr Deputy Speaker.\nDuring a debate on Britain in the world, peace seems an entirely appropriate starting point. Peace, as many great thinkers have said, is not just the absence of war but the work of justice. Indeed, the Scottish National party\u2019s constitution states clearly that the independent Parliament that we ultimately seek will be bound only by the sovereign will of the people of Scotland, and such agreements as it may enter into with other nations for the protection of the environment and the pursuit of world peace.\nThe aims of the SNP also encompass the furtherance of all Scotland\u2019s interests, and it was on that basis that so many of our candidates were elected on 7 May. It is the greatest honour for me to represent the people of Glasgow North in this House. Glasgow has been my home for nearly half my life, and Glasgow North can quite fairly be described as the city in miniature. It stretches from the banks of the River Kelvin in the west end, through the ancient university, the cosmopolitan Byres Road, and north to Firhill, home of the mighty Partick Thistle. Nearby is the Stockline Plastics factory, where we remember those killed in the explosion 11 years ago. It stretches west to the Forth and Clyde Canal, past the Wyndford\u2014site of the old city barracks\u2014to Ruchill and Summerston, and out to some of the only farmland in Glasgow, including a stretch of the Antonine Wall. Glasgow North contains every aspect of city life: high-density social housing, transient student populations, mature residential areas, supermarkets, business parks and rows of independent traders. I hope to represent all that diversity to the best of my ability.\nThe seat is home to many musicians, including, for now, despite the efforts of the Home Office, Dr Steve Forman, and artists, perhaps most notably Alasdair Gray, who popularised the saying that has resonated across Scotland in recent years:\n\u201cWork as if you live in the early days of a better nation.\u201d\nIt is for that better nation that I look forward to working with my colleagues who represent areas of Glasgow North in the Scottish Parliament: Bob Doris, Bill Kidd, Sandra White and Humza Yousaf. Of course I pay tribute to my predecessor, Ann McKechin, who represented the constituency diligently and well for 14 years, and I know that she was respected by colleagues in this House and by her constituents. She was committed to international development. Last year, she and my hon. Friend Angus Robertson were part of a delegation that visited Srebrenica. It is 20 years since that massacre, which should give us all pause to reflect on the progress that has been made towards a world of justice and peace. If the role of Britain in the world is not ultimately the achievement of deep and lasting peace, then what is it?\nOur global economy and our environment are too fragile and too precarious to take the shocks that come from military adventurism and old-school projection of power. That is to say nothing of the obscene and obsolete maintenance and renewal of weapons of mass destruction on the Clyde.\nMy journey to the SNP began when I first saw my right hon. Friend Alex Salmond\u2014he represented Banff and Buchan at the time\u2014at a conference as part of a school trip organised by my modern studies teacher at the Inverness Royal Academy. At that point, I was already a member\u2014I still am\u2014of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, but it became clear to me that the SNP had the right priorities for Scotland and the world. Nuclear weapons represent everything that is wrong about the policy and spending priorities of successive UK Governments, and that is why I am proud to represent a party, and I believe a constituency, that supports bairns not bombs, nurses not nukes, teachers not Trident.\nThis year, at three world summits we have the opportunity to promote a distinctive, progressive and, I hope, Scottish voice in favour of a more just world. I hope that the Minister will find common cause with our colleagues in the Scottish Government on that cause.\nThe tie I am wearing today is the Malawi Scotland tartan. It symbolises the friendship and solidarity between our two countries. Solidarity should be the mark of relationships between human beings and the basis on which we can end the scandal of poverty around the world and promote world peace.\nHenry Smith Conservative, Crawley 8:19 pm, 1st June 2015\nI congratulate Patrick Grady and my hon. Friend Mrs Drummond on their speeches. Both the Clyde and Portsmouth have made a huge contribution to this country\u2019s influence around the world and it is fitting that the hon. Members spoke in this debate.\nDoes my hon. Friend agree that Plymouth has an historic place in all this, too?\nPlymouth is indeed another great British city that has projected that image to the world. I just wish that my hon. Friend had intervened slightly more than a minute into my speech so that I would have been given a little bit of extra time.\nI pay tribute to my hon. Friend Andrew Rosindell for focusing on the importance of the Commonwealth and the British overseas territories. It is very pleasing to see the flags of the British overseas territories flying in Parliament Square today and I am very proud to have been part of a Conservative-led Government in the last Parliament that put the overseas territories at the forefront of our policy. The Government will, I hope, continue to do so, whether that means ensuring that the people of Gibraltar or the Falkland Islands who wish to remain British have that right defended, or investing in infrastructure such as the new airstrip on St Helena.\nThis evening, I want to address some unfinished business with the overseas territories\u2014that is, the future of the British Indian Ocean Territory. About a decade ago, many Chagos islanders came to Gatwick airport in the Crawley constituency and, I am pleased to say, settled in Crawley. Crawley now has the largest Chagossian community anywhere in the world. As the House will know, the Chagos islanders, British citizens, were exiled from their homeland in 1968 by Orders in Council and by royal prerogative. The decision did not come through Parliament. A great injustice was done at that time. Of course, we cannot turn back time but we can start to right those wrongs.\nI am delighted that the last Government initiated a feasibility study into the resettlement of the British Indian Ocean Territory and I call on the Government to implement that study. There are a number of pilots for the possibility of the Chagos islanders returning. The Chagos islanders were removed from Diego Garcia and some of the outer islands, such as Salomon and Peros\nBanhos, to make way for a US airbase. That airbase is and has been important for the security of the democratic western world, both in the Soviet era and today with uncertainty in the middle east, but that should not preclude those islanders being able to return to their homeland should they so wish.\nI am struck by the fact that in a fortnight\u2019s time we will celebrate the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta just a few miles upstream along the Thames. Article 39 states that no person should be imprisoned or exiled without due process, yet I fear that that is what has happened to the British citizens of the Chagos islands. Much has been said about why they should not be able to return, including much about the environmental reasons, and on the 22nd of this month the Supreme Court will determine a case on their right of return. I do not see any issue, however, with allowing subsistence living by a modest number of Chagos islanders back on Diego Garcia and some of the outer islands if possible. I am pleased that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Development is in the Chamber because I believe that we can use some of that budget to facilitate the return of the Chagos islanders.\nIn this 800th year of Magna Carta I hope that the Government\u2019s feasibility study on the right of return to the Chagos islands can finally be implemented so we can right a wrong of almost half a century.\nStephen Doughty Opposition Whip (Commons) 8:24 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a pleasure to follow Henry Smith and two excellent speeches from the hon. Members for Glasgow North (Patrick Grady) and for Portsmouth South (Mrs Drummond), particularly given the maritime connections between our three great cities and the mutual links we have with Malawi and Yemen.\nThe next five years present this House and this country not only with crucial choices about our public finances and public services but with fundamental decisions about Britain\u2019s role and capacity within the world. I would argue that the decisions we take on international issues over the next five years will have a far greater impact on the prospects for millions of Britons over the remainder of the century than the majority of the individual Bills that we will consider in this Parliament.\nI fear much that the Tory Government have proposed in this Queen\u2019s Speech. I fear the impact of swingeing cuts to our social security safety net on the most vulnerable and I fear the continuation of systematic and partisan attacks on our civil society, trade unions and our fundamental rights and protections. What I fear most of all, however, is the risk that this House and this country will descend further into insular nationalism, whether it is Welsh, English, Scottish or British, which could leave us a broken, isolated and increasingly irrelevant rump on the fringes of western Europe, unable to stand up for the values of our citizens in an increasingly disordered, fragmented and challenging world.\nThis House, this Government and the citizens of the United Kingdom face a choice: do we stand together as a country in Europe and the world robust, equipped and engaged to deal with the challenges of poverty, climate change, conflict, human rights abuses, barbarous ideologies and changing technologies, or do we allow ourselves to be overcome with fear or the misty eyed vision of empire past and break apart or break away from the co-operation and solidarity that allows us to face those challenges with optimism, hope and determined purpose, both as the UK and within the EU? I will say without hesitation that I believe that our future and the future prospects of people in my constituency and across Wales and the UK are best served by a positive vote to stay in the European Union.\nThe EU needs reform. Of that, there is no doubt. Whether it is the absurdity of the two-seat Parliament, the overbearing nature of the often poorly accountable European Commission, or the obsession of some European leaders with the project rather than delivering benefits for European citizens, many changes are needed. Let us not forget that, in the year in which we celebrate 70 years since the end of the most brutal world war, in which millions died\u2014the second war to devastate our continent in the last century\u2014the fundamental principles of the European Union are worth standing up for: peace and security; freedom and tolerance; economic co-operation and trade; a Europe of social justice that recognises that the whole continent prospers when we support the poorest and most fragile members; and a Europe with a voice of progressive values in the world, alongside the United States in a world faced by the threat of an increasingly belligerent Russian Administration and the uncertainties and opportunities inherent in the rise of the east and the south. Just over two decades ago, China and the EU traded almost nothing, but today we form the second largest source of economic co-operation in the world, trading more than \u20ac1 billion every day. We are the most open market for developing countries and in the face of one of the greatest global challenges, climate change, we have stood together for carbon efficiency and international co-operation to find a deal that delivers.\nIt is not just that global vision but hard economic facts that matter for my constituents. Some 500 firms from other EU member states are based in Wales, employing more than 54,000 people, and 150,000 jobs in Wales depend on access to the European single market. Companies such as Airbus, which employs more than 6,500 people in Wales, including some just over the border from my constituency in Newport, have cautioned that they might reconsider their investment in the UK in the event of Britain leaving the EU.\nTo leave the European Union would be the greatest act of economic, political and classic folly in the past 100 years. It would be a fearful and foolish response to a world of opportunity and challenge.\nAnne-Marie Trevelyan Conservative, Berwick-upon-Tweed 8:28 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is an honour to make my maiden speech today, following Stephen Doughty\u2014a great part of the country. I am very fond of it, though it is the other end of the country from the area that I represent. It is a very emotional day, following some extraordinary speeches from people who are clearly going to take on the challenges that this House affords.\nAs the new MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed, I am following in giant footsteps\u2014those of my immediate predecessor, Sir Alan Beith, who was universally respected for his 41 years\u2019 devoted service both to his constituents and to this House, a man known as a committed Methodist, a speaker of five languages, one of which was Welsh, and the long-serving Chairman of the Justice Committee; those of Sir William Beveridge, elected in 1944 as Berwick\u2019s MP, whose work on a social security system that would eliminate the five \u201cGiant Evils\u201d of want, disease, ignorance, squalor and idleness paved the way for our modern welfare state; and those of Sir Edward Grey, who first stood up to speak in this place in 1887 to challenge Government Ministers on the Irish question. He went on to become Foreign Secretary in Asquith\u2019s Government in 1914 as our country headed into that great war. From the northernmost county of England, the Northumberland Fusiliers raised no fewer than 51 battalions for service in the great war, the second largest after the London Regiment, taking a whole generation of young Northumbrian men to war, of whom 17,500 never came home.\nBut perhaps the fact I feel most keenly is that I am only the second woman to be elected as MP for Berwick, the first having been Mabel Philipson, elected in 1923, also as a Conservative. She was only the third woman to enter this House as an elected representative, and no doubt she would be pleased to see that following recent elections we now have some 30% representation by female MPs across the House. Mabel was the mother of a disabled child and a vociferous champion for improved disability rights. She was an actress before she came to Parliament, and I sometimes think that she had better training than I have had, as a chartered accountant, to tackle the theatrical nature of this Chamber and its tough audience\u2014both without and within! But I am encouraged by her success in her areas of interest, and am committed in my time here to work tirelessly to ensure that all children, whatever advantages or challenges their circumstances have thrust upon them, will be able to achieve their full potential. I believe passionately that all children have great futures, but sometimes the adults around them limit their potential. There is always more we can do to inspire, protect and encourage the next generation.\nI have a unique advantage as the MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed\u2014I am certain that I represent the most beautiful constituency in England. From the magnificent Cheviot hills in the west and the River Tweed in the north, both of which act as the border with Scotland, to 60 miles of coastline, with its ancient castles, endless beaches, and RAF Boulmer, from where our nation\u2019s air defences are monitored, my constituency, more than 1,000 square miles of it, boasts the ancient market towns of Alnwick\u2014these days of Harry Potter fame, but historically associated with Harry Hotspur\u2014and Berwick-upon-Tweed, which has changed hands between England and Scotland many times over the centuries. It has remained firmly English since 1492 and continues to prefer that position, in case Opposition Members were experiencing any acquisitory impulses.\nOur ports at Seahouses and Amble still bring in fish and lobster from the North sea, despite decades of EU directives trying to kill off their trade, and our tiny villages are surrounded by traditional agricultural factories diligently producing food in all weathers for our tables and barley malted by family business Simpsons Malts for over 150 years for Scottish whisky and Northumberland\u2019s own Hepple gin.\nPerhaps it was Northumberland\u2019s harsh winters that prepared Admiral Collingwood, a true Northumbrian, whose firing prowess from our great ships at the battle of Trafalgar is credited with Nelson\u2019s and Britain\u2019s victory against Napoleon, and whose belief in hard-won respect from his sailors meant that on his ships no corporal punishment was required.\nRight at the top of the north-east, in Berwick-upon-Tweed, I am determined to help to build a vibrant economy, so that our young people can make Northumberland their family home, and to ensure that a new enterprise zone across our main towns opens up investment and jobs. What may seem unimaginable today for the future of our communities and our nation should never be dismissed as impossible. I hope fervently, as do so many of my constituents, that with the Scotland Bill and the European Union Referendum Bill and English votes for English laws coming forward, we will be creating a new framework for our four nations to take charge of their day-to-day lives while remaining firmly committed to a strong and united Great Britain.\nSusan Elan Jones Opposition Whip (Commons) 8:33 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a great privilege to be elected again to serve the constituency of Clwyd South in this Chamber. It has been a delight to listen to so many maiden speeches, including those of my hon. Friend Conor McGinn and of Mrs Trevelyan, who may indeed represent the most beautiful constituency in England. There were many, many good speeches.\nThe EU will be part of the discussion on Britain in the world. My hon. Friend Stephen Doughty referred to Airbus and to one of the reasons why the EU is so important for the economy of Wales\u2014namely, the 6,000-plus jobs and their many spin-offs that are dependent on our membership of the European Union, as Paul Kahn, the president of Airbus, has made clear.\nThe Farmers Union of Wales, which never pulls its punches\u2014it has criticised unnecessary bureaucracy and rules emanating from Brussels, and that was one of its milder comments\u2014has made it clear that it recognises the value of remaining part of one of the world\u2019s largest common markets and trading blocs. It has been clear that there is no make-believe about it, because we know exactly what it would be like to be outside the EU; we saw that in the rural economy at the time of the foot and mouth crisis, and with BSE.\nThere are issues to address, of course. Globalisation and the free movement of labour have brought many benefits, but there are other issues. I think that is sometimes seen by people on zero-hours contracts and agency workers, as an agency worker living in Brymbo in my constituency made clear. I do not expect the Government to make changes because they are social democrats or part of a labour movement, but if they believe in one nation and in social cohesion, they must address the concerns about zero-hours contracts and agency work.\nI would also like to make a point about religious liberty, which was referred to earlier in the debate. It is of huge importance around the world. In parts of the world we see Christians and other religious minorities suffering persecution, and in many parts it is getting worse. Too often people think that religious freedom means a person\u2019s right to practise the religion they were born into, but it is more than that; article 18 of the United Nations universal declaration of human rights is very clear that it includes the right to convert, and the right to believe in something or in nothing. It is vital that we see those human rights as part of our vision of Britain in the world. I know that the debate on human rights and on what the Government will do is fairly open at the moment, but if this nation chooses to withdraw from international treaties, think of the message that will send. Think of what that would say to countries such as Pakistan, where so many people are already suffering under the blasphemy laws. I think that those are major issues. They are to do with communities such as mine, but they are also to do with this country and with the global community.\nJames Heappey Conservative, Wells 8:37 pm, 1st June 2015\nI am grateful for the opportunity to speak in this House for the first time. The world around us is changing quickly; new threats emerge as readily as new opportunities. Therefore, for the sake of our security, our standing in the world and the good of our economy, it is important that we seek to shape the world around us, rather than waiting to be shaped by it. We must be proud of, and seek to maintain, the fact that Britain is a global power. That is about not only our ability to project military power across the globe, but the role we play in the UN, NATO, the Commonwealth and the EU. It is about maintaining our place as a global centre for business and trade. It is about recognising that British culture and values reach far further and carry more influence than even the largest military ever could.\nBefore entering politics I served our country in the Army, first in the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment, and then in The Rifles. In that time I had the great privilege of serving alongside men and women from all parts of this United Kingdom, and indeed the Commonwealth, both here in the UK and overseas in Basra, Kabul and Sangin. Those who serve our country in the Royal Navy, Army and Air Force accept an unlimited liability. If the Government and this House ask them to deploy, they will. On land, at sea and in the air, we can have confidence that our forces will punch well above their weight, because I have seen at first hand just how courageous, determined and selfless our soldiers, sailors and airmen are.\nHowever, we owe those men and women the certainty that we will always support them and their families, both at home and overseas. Since the last strategic defence and security review, the threats facing our country have become much more complex. If Britain is to meet those threats, we must be clear in our intent to fund defence properly. We simply cannot ask our forces, regular and reserve, to meet all those threats without resourcing them to do so. Therefore, as we progress towards the SDSR, we must understand that any further cuts in defence must mean a cut to our strategic ambition as a nation. I hope that neither is needed.\nAs this is my first time speaking in the House, I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor, Tessa Munt. Ms Munt was a committed supporter of our community in Somerset. Over a long and difficult campaign in a marginal seat there has been much on which we have disagreed, but it is important to note at this first opportunity the hard work of Tessa Munt and her dedicated staff.\nIt is an incredible honour to stand here as the Member of Parliament for Wells, and I would like to thank my constituents for sending me here to speak on their behalf. Mine is a constituency that contributes greatly to Britain\u2019s standing in the world. The city of Wells is England\u2019s smallest city, but with the most complete ecclesiastical estate in Europe it is a major tourist attraction and the backdrop to many television programmes and films. In Street is the global headquarters of Clarks Shoes, a brand recognised around the globe and enjoying growth in new markets, while in Chilcompton is the fashion icon Mulberry. Shepton Mallet is the capital of cider production in this country. Only this weekend, the Royal Bath and West show hosted, once again, the largest cider competition on the planet. In Highbridge, Burnham-on-Sea, Berrow and Brean, we welcome well over 1 million tourists a year who come to stay on the magnificent Somerset coast and to journey inland to the Mendips area of outstanding natural beauty. Our local farmers produce the best milk money can buy; we just need to make sure that they are paid what it is worth. Glastonbury hosts the best music festival on earth. Cheddar is famed for its gorge and for lending its name to the world\u2019s most popular cheese.\nI am so proud to represent such a beautiful and varied part of the world, but while there is much to celebrate, so is there much to do. The Prime Minister has called Her Majesty\u2019s speech a one-nation programme that will benefit all in our country. I am delighted about that, because for too long rural areas have not received the same investment as our large towns and cities. Our market towns and villages struggle with poor road connections, very limited access to the rail network, weak phone signals, and achingly slow broadband. To unlock the incredible potential for economic growth in rural communities, we must improve that infrastructure. The investment by this Government in broadband has already brought formidable results. Village by village, fibre-optic connections are being made and life is speeding up. However, the final 5% of the superfast broadband roll-out is disproportionately concentrated in constituencies like mine, and so I urge the Government to push on with that final phase as soon as possible. Within that final few per cent. will be some of Britain\u2019s most isolated communities; we simply cannot leave them behind.\nCat Smith Labour, Lancaster and Fleetwood 8:42 pm, 1st June 2015\nThank you, Mr Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my maiden speech. It is a great pleasure to follow so many great maiden speeches in the Chamber this evening\u2014in particular, to follow James Heappey. I have enjoyed the Glastonbury music festival in his constituency on many occasions.\nI wish to record my sincere thanks to the people of Lancaster and Fleetwood for electing me. I very much hope that I can live up to their expectations and can faithfully represent my community over the coming years.\nI pay tribute to my predecessor, Eric Ollerenshaw, who was well respected across this House. In particular, I want to single out and praise his work to improve standards of diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer\u2014a subject close to his heart. He was prepared to put his constituents first, as shown by his opposition to the coalition Government\u2019s plans to ease the regulation of fracking\u2014something I hope to continue with.\nLancaster and Fleetwood is a diverse constituency reaching from the Yorkshire border to the Irish sea and made up of town, city and rural areas. I can truthfully say that mine is the most beautiful constituency, spanning the forest of Bowland and the village of Wray, close to the Yorkshire border, through the Lune valley immortalised by Turner, to the Over Wyre villages of Pilling, Preesall and Knott End. I look forward to championing each of these very many varied communities over the coming years. It is also the only non-island constituency not to be contiguous with land, as one has to travel through three other constituencies to reach the city of Lancaster from the port of Fleetwood. Both these main populations come with a radical, progressive tradition.\nLancaster castle, which until recent years was Europe\u2019s oldest prison in continuous use, is famed as the site of the Pendle witch trials, but it is also, sadly, central to the stories of many radicals who campaigned for change. Many religious and political dissenters were held there or tried in Lancaster castle, including Chartist leader Fergus O\u2019Connor and Quaker founder Margaret Fell.\nLancaster is famous for its nonconformist residents, so as a Methodist I feel I am in good company. I am pleased to be making my maiden speech in the debate on Britain in the world, because it was my faith that led me into politics, through the campaigns to drop third world debt and the campaign for fair trade.\nMy first act in this Chamber\u2014to take an affirmation rather than an oath\u2014was also inspired by this nonconformist tradition. As anyone with knowledge of the Bible will know, Matthew 5:34 was a central part of the Quakers\u2019 17th-century campaign to allow for an affirmation so that Members could take their seats.\nLancaster has also been graced with radical residents such as Selina Martin, who was a leading suffragette, and Lancaster University, of which our city is very proud and of which I am a graduate, chose Charles Carter to be its first vice-chancellor. Carter, who was a Quaker and a pacifist, served time in prison for refusing to be conscripted into the Army.\nAs we discuss Britain in the world, it is also appropriate to highlight Lancaster\u2019s fair trade city status, which helps support sustainable development across the world.\nBy comparison, Fleetwood is a relatively modern town. Founded as a planned community in the 1830s, the intention was for the town to develop as an international port as well as a holiday resort. For a number of years it served as a transfer point between the railway network and steamers to Scotland, but since the 1850s the town\u2019s fortunes have been strongly linked with the fishing industry.\nFleetwood has its own radical history. The town\u2019s founder, Sir Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, opposed monopolies, capital punishment and slavery, which it is appropriate to highlight as we discuss Britain in the world.\nI am proud of my constituency\u2019s radical traditions and of the many famous names who have led pioneering political campaigns while being unafraid to speak out. I seek to serve in that spirit.\nGiven that we are debating Britain in the world, I want to highlight the need for a consistent and ethically driven foreign policy. All too often, the UK has turned a blind eye to repression by regimes it considers its allies, but has all too quickly rushed to military action against those it opposes, resulting in catastrophic consequences.\nAlthough the UK has been a major donor supporting Syrians displaced in their own country and in neighbouring states, I urge Ministers to reconsider the pitifully small number of refugees admitted to the UK under the vulnerable persons relocation scheme.\nI had the privilege of visiting Palestine in 2012. It is shameful that Ministers have so far refused to heed this House\u2019s call to recognise Palestinian statehood. I call on this new Government to address that.\nI am also gravely concerned about the UK\u2019s approach to Saudi Arabia, where our Government continue uncritically to support a regime currently on course to execute a record number of people in a single year.\nI look forward to campaigning alongside my constituents to ensure that the UK plays a positive role in the world, acting as a leading advocate for peace, human rights and poverty eradication across the world.\nMike Wood Conservative, Dudley South 8:48 pm, 1st June 2015\nThank you, Mr Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make my maiden speech in this debate and to follow on from some exceptional maiden speeches by other hon. Members, even if they have set the bar unreasonably high.\nIt is, of course, traditional in such speeches to pay tribute to predecessors, but in my case it is a genuine pleasure to do so. Despite serving only a single term, Chris Kelly left his mark both locally and nationally. Speaking to people across Dudley South during the campaign, it was clear to me that Chris\u2019s independence of mind and determination to stand up for his principles were greatly valued by his constituents, if not always by the Government Whips.\nChris\u2019s work as founder chairman of the all-party group on combating metal theft helped to secure changes to the law, banning cash payments and introducing an effective licensing scheme for scrap metal traders. The resulting fall in metal theft, seen clearly in the west midlands in particular, is a fitting legacy for his tireless work in this area. Chris is steeped in the value of family businesses, and was a strong voice in Parliament for family firms. I know that many Members will wish him well, now that he has returned to work for his family company.\nAs a Dudley councillor, it is a particular honour for me to represent the community in Parliament. Despite its name, Dudley South does not actually cover the town of Dudley\u2014perhaps something for the Boundary Commission to reflect upon\u2014but is made up of a number of towns and villages in the south-western part of the black country. At the southern end, Brierley Hill and Wordsley includes much of the world-famous Stourbridge glass-making quarter, while in the eastern quarter, Netherton was at the heart of the black country\u2019s nail-making and then of the chain and anchor-making industries. The town still takes pride in having produced the anchor for the Titanic, which was the biggest in the world at the time.\nI hear some amusement from my hon. Friends and it may seem like an odd boast, but whatever criticisms people have made of the Titanic, I have never heard anybody say a bad word about its anchor.\nBetween the two towns is the Merry Hill centre, one of the largest indoor shopping centres in Europe. While Merry Hill is a major employer and its success is vital to our local economy, neighbouring town centres are still struggling to adapt and to define a role in the world of online shopping and out-of-town retail parks. It would be remiss of me not to mention the nearby quarry just between Kingswinford and Pensnett should house builders be looking for bricks to meet the Government\u2019s new house building programme or\u2014dare I say it\u2014should the Opposition need further supplies of large pieces of high-quality stone.\nDudley South is an industrial area. We are proud of our manufacturing heritage and of Dudley\u2019s role as the birthplace of the industrial revolution. We are an outward-looking area. As the workshop of the world, the black country\u2019s sights have never been restricted to our shores or to any political boundaries. For people in Dudley South, like much of the rest of the country, Britain\u2019s place in the world is not just about prestige, influence or tradition; it is about jobs, business and creating the prosperity that our communities need. That is why it is so important that we have strong trading relationships right across the world.\nWhether Britain remains in the EU or we leave it will rightly be decided by the British people\u2014that referendum is long overdue\u2014but whatever the result, it is vital that more is done to facilitate free trade with countries around the world beyond Europe\u2019s borders. A strong European internal market cannot be a justification for tariffs or barriers that make it more difficult for my constituents to do business outside Europe. Even the largest and most successful of markets cannot barricade themselves off from the rest of the world.\nNia Griffith Shadow Minister (Wales) 8:53 pm, 1st June 2015\nI add my congratulations to all those who have made excellent maiden speeches today. I particularly want to mention my hon. Friend Cat Smith and her comments on Syrian refugees and Palestine, of which I hope the Government will take note. I congratulate the hon. Members for Wells (James Heappey) and for Dudley South (Mike Wood) on their enthusiasm in their new roles.\nAs time is so limited, I will keep much of my comments on Europe for another time. I just briefly acknowledge the importance of our overseas development work and the need for the UK to take a positive lead in this year\u2019s conferences on climate change and on sustainable development. I will focus instead on arms exports controls, the prevention of the use of sexual violence in conflict, and human rights and religious freedoms.\nOn the issue of arms exports controls, back in 2000, the right hon. Peter Hain, the former Member for Neath and then a Foreign Office Minister, confirmed it was Government policy that an\n\u201cexport licence will not be issued if the arguments for doing so are outweighed by\u2026concern that the goods might be used for internal repression\u201d.\u2014[Hansard, 26 October 2000; Vol. 355, c. 200W.]\nHowever, last October, during a debate on the scrutiny report of the Committees on Arms Export Controls, the former Conservative Member, the right honourable Sir John Stanley, who chaired the Committees, explained how, after repeated dialogue and correspondence with Ministers, it had become clear that the Government were taking a more \u201crelaxed\u201d approach to issuing arms export licences. That is very worrying. Indeed, the Committees identified 12 countries on the FCO\u2019s list of 28 countries of top human rights concern where specific exports were feared to be in breach of one or more of the Government\u2019s arms export criteria. Those 12 countries were: Afghanistan, China, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Libya, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Syria, Uzbekistan and Yemen. I urge the Government to examine carefully the issue of arms export licences; we should not allow a lax and careless attitude to arms export control.\nFurthermore, we need much more transparency about not just which country arms are going to, but who the end-user is\u2014Government, non-governmental organisation, civilian and so on. We also need to trace a lot of arms that are being exported through foreign subsidiaries hidden abroad.\nThe preventing sexual violence initiative was a priority during the UK\u2019s presidency of the G8 in 2013, but it remains a major task to root out the use of rape as a weapon of war. Even if Governments sign the declaration of commitment to ending sexual violence in conflict, there is much to do to challenge and change the culture of violence against women. The UK has a reputation for providing high-quality military training. As a condition of providing such training, we must challenge those countries that want it to demonstrate a genuine commitment to eradicating from their military ranks the use of rape as a weapon of war.\nI am glad the Government have not included in the Gracious Speech plans to withdraw from the European convention on human rights or to introduce legislation that would have meant human rights were okay only as long as the Government approved of them\u2014what a slippery slope that would be. However, the very way in which the Prime Minister called into doubt the value of human rights considerably weakens the UK\u2019s position on the world stage when it comes to challenging other countries. How can he challenge repressive regimes when they can retort that he has created newspaper headlines by talking about watering down human rights legislation and pulling out of the European convention on human rights?\nWith the horrific increase across the world in the persecution of people for their religious beliefs, Britain must champion religious freedom. I hope the Government will consider adopting the Labour manifesto commitment to creating a specific role, and have a person, in the FCO to take forward the religious freedom agenda across the world.\nAs I said, other speakers want to get in, so I will leave my comments on Europe until next week.\nBob Blackman Conservative, Harrow East 8:57 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is an honour to follow the reasoned arguments of Nia Griffith. I too congratulate all those who have made their maiden speeches, but I must particularly highlight that by my hon. Friend the Member for Fareham (Suella Fernandes), whom I have known since she was born. Her parents will be justly proud of the speech she made.\nDespite a bitter campaign in the general election, fired by the GMB, which sought to get everyone in my constituency not to vote for me, and by a rather shadowy organisation that labelled me as a child killer as a result of my support for the state of Israel, I am delighted to report that the constituents of Harrow East returned me with more than 50% of the vote and an increased majority.\nI am delighted to represent the most multi-religious, multi-ethnic constituency in the country. We comprise every language on the planet and every religion under the sun, and we have representatives from every country on earth in our midst. It is a privilege to live in Harrow East and to hear about all the problems of the world without ever leaving the constituency.\nOne issue we debate in the House is Britain\u2019s place in the world. I am delighted that British people will at last have a say on our membership of the European Union. By 2017, no one under the age of 60 will have had the opportunity to vote on Britain\u2019s membership of the European club, and no one has ever voted on our membership of the European Union. I am delighted to have supported the proposal to do so in the last Parliament, and I am glad the Government caught up with those of us who did. I am also glad that the laggards on the Opposition Benches have finally seen the sense in having a referendum on our future. We must look at internationalist aspirations beyond the Commonwealth to the world at large. It is a fact that at the end of the second world war 25% of the world\u2019s population was concentrated in Europe. Now it is only 10%. As a trading nation, we must be looking beyond our shores and beyond Europe.\nI am very proud that the Conservative party manifesto was the only manifesto to mention many countries of the world, in particular India. We have an historic and special relationship with the United States of America that is second to none. Over the next five years, I look forward to us forging a relationship with India that is on a par with the relationship we enjoy with the United States of America: forging a position of greater market opportunities and greater co-operation between our two countries, and ensuring that our trade improves and that we stand four-square behind India\u2019s aspirations to become a superpower within the region. As such, we look forward to India becoming a permanent member of the UN Security Council.\nWe should remember the plight of people who are less fortunate than ourselves. We must ensure a proper resolution to the truth and reconciliation programme in Sri Lanka, so that all its people can see the opportunities. The oppressed people of Bangladesh need to be safeguarded and their ability to celebrate their religion retained. Finally, our historic relations with the state of Israel must be preserved. We are the fourth or fifth-biggest economy in the world, and it is the tenth-biggest economy. We must stand shoulder to shoulder with our neighbours.\nGavin Shuker Shadow Minister (International Development) 9:01 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is an honour to speak in a debate with so many epic maiden speeches. I have to admit, however, that I was slightly perturbed to see that all those making them pretty much looked older than me, which means that I am constrained to another five years of wandering around this place being asked if I know where I am going.\nThere can be no future for our nation that is not pro-internationalist and pro-reform. That means demonstrating global leadership to further our interests in and for the world, and making a connected world work for us. It means tackling structural inequalities\u2014of power, wealth and identity\u2014in the interests of all people. Our capacity for influence and leadership is unrivalled for a country of our size. What other nation is a leading member of the European Union, the Council of Europe, the Commonwealth, NATO and the permanent five of the UN Security Council? We have fundamentals we must not waste, but they must be coupled with political will. The Gracious Speech and the Government, just like the previous Government, fall short on will. This dangerous right-wing Tory Government\u2019s agenda for office risks further undermining Britain\u2019s place in the world. The range of the foreign and domestic policy measures announced last Wednesday poses a threat to our standing and influence.\nFirst, now that the Prime Minister\u2019s in/out referendum on Britain\u2019s membership of the European Union is going ahead, it is right that Opposition Members accept the legitimacy of the Bill. It is vital, however, that we make the case for our continued membership and drive for a perpetual process of positive reform, in stark opposition to the right-wing Tory Government\u2019s sham negotiation, against an artificial timetable, that will damage our influence from Cork to Krakow.\nSecondly, the Government\u2019s proposed abolition of the Human Rights Act would endanger our membership of the Council of Europe and our position as a party to the European convention on human rights. In addition to risking making it harder for victims of injustice to seek redress in this country, repealing the Act and removing ourselves from the jurisdiction of the Strasbourg Court would put us in the company of Belarus, the only other nation state in Europe not party to the convention. That is not leadership. From the party of Churchill\u2014when the ECHR was drafted in large part by British lawyers with the support and encouragement of the former Prime Minister\u2014the proposed repeal draws stark contrasts with, and conclusions about, the Conservative party of yesterday.\nThirdly, we must equip our citizens with the ability to navigate the complexities, threats and opportunities of a globalised world. Free trade, however, will bring freedom only if it is also fair. The Government\u2019s proposed domestic trade union Bill will put draconian restrictions on the most basic labour and trade union rights. The proposed changes to striking regulations are likely to flout basic International Labour Organisation rules, aligning Britain with an alarming number of repressive regimes that impose similar, or more severe, restrictions. And it comes as no surprise that in a previous iteration this right-wing Tory Government defunded the International Labour Organisation and weakened protections for workers around the world.\nFourthly, in failing to tackle structural and historical injustices our leadership and consistency have been brutally undermined. From Palestine to Kashmir, our interest is demanded by those who find themselves being consistently disempowered and oppressed. From the UN to the World Trade Organisation, reform is demanded by those who are not in the room but consistently locked outside in an increasingly cold climate. From the Mediterranean to the Yellow sea, freedoms that we take for granted are under threat: freedom of religion and belief, freedom to love, and freedom of speech. Those freedoms require not our tacit acceptance but shoring up. This Queen\u2019s Speech is neither pro-internationalist nor pro-reform, and we should reject it.\nMark Pawsey Conservative, Rugby 9:05 pm, 1st June 2015\nIt is a pleasure to follow Mr Shuker and the many Members who have made maiden speeches today and in previous days. We have heard speeches of great eloquence and passion, and we already know that Parliament will be well served by its new Members.\nThe county of Warwickshire has retained all its six Conservative MPs, each with an increased majority, but I want to make special mention of my hon. Friend Craig Tracey. In 2010, his predecessor had the smallest Conservative majority in the country, at just 57, and at times his own prospects looked bleak. However, very hard work in the constituency and a national party message that resonated with the electorate have led to his being elected with a majority of 3,000. If on election night the Nuneaton result told us that the Conservative party would be in government, the North Warwickshire result told us that we would have a working majority.\nIn considering Britain\u2019s role in the world, I believe that Britain\u2019s role should be in Europe but with the right kind of relationship with Europe. On 15 June 1975, when the last referendum on Europe took place, I was 18 years and five months old. I followed the debate in the media; I had taken part in discussions at school; and I voted yes in that referendum, for Britain to remain in the European Economic Community. However, that was 40 years ago. Today\u2019s enlarged European Union is a very different body from the EEC then, and it is entirely right that we should renegotiate a new relationship. I am delighted that the Prime Minister has got stuck straight into doing that with visits and meetings last week, and I welcome the early positive responses from European leaders.\nIt is entirely right that the British people should have their say on Europe, and it is interesting that the Opposition have now changed their view and support a referendum. If they had been able to do that just a matter of weeks or months ago, the matter could have been settled in the last Parliament. However, our negotiations should not be rushed. They will set the template for the next 40 years and they will not be easy to conduct, so it is right that we should take time for the referendum to be held.\nOur security in the world depends on our having armed forces that are equipped to carry out whatever it takes to keep us safe, and the Queen\u2019s Speech confirmed that work is now under way on the 2015 strategic defence and security review. It is entirely right that we should build on the SDSR of five years ago and consider the risks that our country faces in a rapidly changing world. We have heard much about those threats in our debate today.\nIn my constituency, we are building the propulsion system for the new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers at GE\u2019s factory in the town. The first of those carriers will be handed over to the Royal Navy next year, and it was a great pleasure for me to see the first of those two vessels at Rosyth just before it was floated out, when I visited with the all-party group on the armed forces. We have heard much today from my hon. Friends the Members for Plymouth, Moor View (Johnny Mercer) and for Wells (James Heappey) about the very challenging issues faced by our armed forces. To new Members of Parliament who wish to learn more about our servicemen, I recommend the all-party group and the Armed Forces Parliamentary Trust.\nI was pleased to see the Psychoactive Substances Bill in the Queen\u2019s Speech. It will be of great interest to my constituent Richard Smith, who has been a very vocal campaigner on this issue, having seen his son affected by these products.\nMr Speaker, you would not expect me to participate in a debate about Britain\u2019s role in the world without referring to what my constituency in particular has given to the world, and what we and the world will be celebrating both in Rugby and across the country in just 100 days, when we celebrate the rugby world cup. The town of Rugby will be hard at work preparing to welcome the world to see our wonderful game.\nPhil Wilson Opposition Assistant Whip (Commons) 9:09 pm, 1st June 2015\nI wanted to take part in this debate because, like my Labour colleagues, I believe in the abiding principle that by the strength of our common endeavour we achieve more than we do alone, and the meaning of this principle does not stop at the Scottish border or the English channel. I believe in a United Kingdom that plays a major role in the planet\u2019s global institutions, and I believe that Britain is a force for good, which is why I said on the night I was re-elected that I would campaign to ensure that the UK remained at the top table of European nations by maintaining our membership of the EU. When I joined the Labour party in Sedgefield more than 30 years ago, I joined a constituent part of a British Labour party, not an English Labour party, and I will fight to ensure that the values we adhere to will find renewed strength and favour in all four parts of the UK, because they are not restrained by a cynical nationalism that says, \u201cWe want our independence, as long as it is not fiscal independence and we can keep the BBC.\u201d\nIf we can achieve more together than we can alone, surely our country should stay united. In a world where decisions taken on the other side of the world affect our communities here at home, we should realise that we cannot, and should not, pull up the drawbridge to the rest of the world. Instead, we should embrace it, with all its faults, be they climate change, national financial markets, ISIS or rampant technological change; all these things affect villages in Sedgefield, from Thornley in the north to Hurworth in the south. We should remember that the forces that swirl through the towns, cities and villages of the UK are now global. I say that not just because companies such as Nissan and Hitachi have invested in the north-east, but because being an active member in support of our global institutions means being confident not only in those institutions but in ourselves. Yes, we will need to reform and renew them, but surely we are part of such institutions because we achieve more together than we ever do alone.\nAs part of our outward and optimistic approach to world affairs and the UK\u2019s role in that approach, we should play a key role in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The negotiations are a long way from completion, but it is not right to say no to the partnership without first knowing what is in it. To those opposed to TTIP now I say: if the agreement goes ahead, it will help us go some way towards reforming and negotiating 50% of the global economy, which can only be a good thing.\nOur role in the world as a permanent member the UN Security Council means being a military contributor to the maintenance of global security, which is why we should be very careful before we allow our military budget to fall below 2% of GDP. But all that is at stake if this country is dismantled and its component parts diminished, and if the UK also leaves the EU questions should rightly be asked about whether we should have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. Surely if we believe that Britain is a force for good, we should not be undermining our role in the world by bringing uncertainty, but that is exactly what we are doing. We should not allow the UK\u2019s future to be put at risk for party political reasons or out of narrow nationalism. I do not believe in a little Britain. We achieve more together than we do alone, and that principle should guide us in our negotiations in Europe, in any referendum and in any goals we set for Britain in the world.\nRobert Jenrick Conservative, Newark 9:13 pm, 1st June 2015\nI applaud the magnificent maiden speeches we have heard today. I always thought the class of 2014 was particularly distinguished, but on the basis of what we have heard today I think the class of 2015 will be even more so.\nI thank the people of Newark for returning me to the House and the people of the county of Nottinghamshire, a majority of whom voted Conservative for the first time since 1983. I look particularly to my neighbour my hon. Friend Mark Spencer.\nGiven the shortness of time, I will concentrate on one area little touched upon today. The substantial internal constitutional reforms that are understandably diminishing the space and energy for foreign affairs and the many other immediate challenges in the Foreign Secretary\u2019s in-tray we have heard about today must not distract us from the bigger task of repositioning Britain in a new world order. We must all recognise that the future of our living standards and security will depend as much on the great new powers and the exploding consumer markets of Asia, Africa and Latin America as on Europe. That is where most, if not the vast majority, of the growth over the next 30 years will be.\nThe patterns of international trade are changing fast. The internet is upending old industries. The EU, born in an age when solidarity and centralisation were understandably relevant, now risks being hopelessly outmoded in a world that demands flexibility, decentralisation and, above all, openness to the markets beyond.\nThe British business I used to manage with Danny Kinahan\u2014Christie\u2019s\u2014is now generating 45% of its annual turnover from Asia. Ten years ago, it was 1.5%. It is a similar story with other high-growth businesses, whether they be multinationals such as Burberry, JCB and Jaguar Land Rover, or Newark firms such as Benoy, an architects firm that has transformed itself within five to 10 years from designing barn conversions in Nottinghamshire to designing shopping malls and airports in Singapore and China. British businesses need our support and guidance in these endeavours.\nThe last Government opened new embassies in Asia and focused some of the Foreign Office\u2019s resources on trade. I sincerely hope that that refocusing will continue and accelerate in the five years to come. I was pleased that the Government chose to be a founding supporter of China\u2019s new Asian Infrastructure investment bank. Talks are under way for an EU-China bilateral trade agreement. Whether it be within or without Europe, the UK must take a lead in that enterprise, as it should on finalising the transatlantic free trade agreement that was crudely mischaracterised and caricatured before and during the election.\nAbove all, we should be confident enough to develop our own agenda to work with the emerging powers of Asia and Africa. That is where our future beckons. That is where the high-skilled, well-paid jobs will come from. Tackling those questions will be part of the answer to our productivity challenge at home.\nToo many British companies rely on the captive markets of UK household consumption to fuel growth, rather than seek a place in the fiercely competitive international markets. Those companies are the ones we should be on the side of. The next five years may be characterised by many challenges, some of which will define our role in the world, but the overarching question is the wider one of how we can re-imagine Britain as a trading nation sending out ships to emerging markets.\nJonathan Reynolds Shadow Minister (Energy and Climate Change) 9:17 pm, 1st June 2015\nI must say that we have heard some truly impressive maiden speeches today, and it has been a pleasure to sit here for seven hours listening to them.\nMy main point today is that the prosperity of my own constituency can be secured only by Britain being an outward-facing, open, skilled and confident country\u2014one that is best placed to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities available in the world today. Listening to the Queen\u2019s Speech, however, I do not feel at all encouraged that that is the direction in which the new Government will take us.\nI clearly recognise the decisive Conservative victory at the election, but I can honestly say that the issues of having too many low-paid, low-skilled jobs, of insecurity at work, of the bedroom tax and of unfair benefit sanctions, are real and genuine problems in my constituency. I say to whatever Government are in power that the people affected by those problems deserve to have their voices heard.\nWhat I need this Government to understand is that many people in my area who do work hard, who do put in to the system, genuinely do not get the rewards that their labour should deliver. I need this Government to understand that in my constituency poverty, including extreme poverty where people are pushed to rely on food banks, now affects people who are in work. In my borough, 24% of all the jobs, nearly a quarter, and 47% or about half of all part-time jobs pay below the living wage. Most of all, I need the Government to understand that the answers to those problems require Britain to be engaged in the world around us, and particularly engaged in the world economy and in the European Union.\nIf one thing is absolutely paramount to the prosperity of my area, it is Britain\u2019s membership of the EU. We still have substantial manufacturing in my area, and I have no doubt we would lose a great deal of it if we chose to leave the EU. I believe that even the uncertainty caused by holding a referendum will be to our economic detriment, but I hope it will end an even greater period of uncertainty by decisively confirming our membership of the EU once and for all.\nI am not sure that it will be as straightforward as that, however. Having sat in this Parliament for the last five years, it is clear to me that a sizeable number of Conservative Back Benchers would not be happy even if our European neighbours agreed to change the name of Europe to \u201cGreater Britain\u201d. Realistically, while there are several annoying things about the EU that might need to be reformed or changed\u2014from where the Parliament sits to eligibility and reciprocity in respect of tax credits\u2014I see us facing three main choices.\nFirst, we could withdraw from the EU altogether and suffer catastrophic economic damage. Secondly, we could withdraw from the EU, but still sign up to the single market via a Norway-style free trade agreement under which we would still pay a fee to gain access to the single market and be forced to implement all the EU\u2019s rules without having a say in any of them. That would surely be disadvantageous. Thirdly, we could remain part of the EU and part of the single market, and, in doing so, secure a say in the rules of that single market. It is pretty obvious to me where our national interest lies in those three options.\nI hope that we shall start to see the real issues in the debate come to the forefront. I hope even more that it will mark the start of a period of real engagement in Europe, in which we shall have the confidence to form the alliances and relationships that will make the EU work even better for us. We had it under Tony Blair and under Gordon Brown, but we have not had it under the present Prime Minister, and we need to get it back.\nJon Ashworth Shadow Minister (Cabinet Office) 9:20 pm, 1st June 2015\nI am extremely grateful to be called. Let me begin by paying tribute to all the Members who have made their maiden speeches\u2014very fine maiden speeches\u2014during the debate. I am confident that Members on both sides of the House will benefit from their contributions over the next five years.\nAs Mr Burns said last week, this was a true-blue Tory Queen\u2019s Speech whose centrepiece was the EU referendum. Our party has said that it will go along with the referendum, and I support that, but let us be clear that the Prime Minister was forced into it from a position of weakness, not strength. He was forced into it because, in the last Parliament, 50 Tory Members rebelled in the EU budget vote. He was forced into it because, in the last Parliament,\nMr Baron tabled an amendment to the Gracious Address, and he was forced to support that.\nThe EU referendum is a result of the Prime Minister\u2019s weakness, and, as the Government Whips are well aware, it would take just nine Tory Members voting in our Lobby to sink any piece of Government legislation. During this Parliament, because of his slender majority, the Prime Minister may well experience the chaos of which he warned during the general election campaign.\nI will campaign for us to remain in the European Union. What worries me about the referendum is that all the energy and animating spirit of the Prime Minister and the Government will now be directed towards the renegotiation. Rather than spending his valuable time with other European leaders discussing energy security and the energy threats from eastern Europe, or matters relating to the Greek financial crisis, the Prime Minister will spend all of it discussing the intricacies of the treaty of Rome, just to satisfy his own Back Benchers.\nThe problem relates to a range of foreign policy issues, As we heard from Sir Alan Duncan, there are mutterings that we are withdrawing from the world\u2014that the United Kingdom is not playing its role on issues such as climate change, poverty, security and terrorism, and that we are retreating from the world stage. We are reducing our military capability, and there are strains on our domestic capability. It seems that not only do we no longer carry a big stick, but we do not even speak softly any more.\nThere are two areas in which I think the Government have been complacent. We have a Prime Minister and a Chancellor who, as far as I am aware, have not said a single word, let alone taken a single step, in relation to the emerging economic crisis in China, which is in the grip of one of the worst stock market frenzies in history. Millions of ordinary Chinese people are borrowing money that they cannot repay to invest in what they think will be one-way bets on rising stocks. Just three weeks ago, a real estate company on the Chinese stock market saw its shares rise by 10%, simply because it had changed its name to something that sounded more like the name of a technology firm. That is madness. History teaches us that it will end in tears, and those tears will be shed not just in China, but in Britain. It used to be said that, when America sneezed, Britain caught a cold. When China eventually sneezes, Britain will be in bed for a year, and, as far as I can see, the Prime Minister and the Chancellor have done nothing.\nWe are equally complacent about India. We talk about increasing our trade, but the number of students coming from India has fallen by 36%. In the last Parliament, the Home Secretary talked of increasing a \u00a33,000 visa bond for visitors from India. I hope that that is not on the agenda now. On the questions of China and India, and on a range of other foreign policy matters, we are becoming increasingly complacent, and withdrawing from the world.\nI hope that the Foreign Secretary will think again about many of those matters.\nMary Creagh Shadow Secretary of State for International Development 9:24 pm, 1st June 2015\nMay I begin by paying tribute to our armed forces and the work they are doing across the world to protect our country and\nBritain\u2019s national interests? We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the last Parliament and we must never forget them. I also pay tribute to Foreign Office and DFID staff working often in challenging environments to improve people\u2019s lives. I warmly congratulate the Secretary of State for International Development on her reappointment and on the commitment she personally has shown to the advancement of women and girls across the world. We also congratulate her colleagues the Minister of State, Mr Swayne, on his reappointment, and the Minister of State, Grant Shapps, formerly known as Michael Green. He has shown that being deputy chairman of the Conservative party is no barrier to promotion to higher things, and we wish him well as he starts his big, proper Government job.\nAll three DFID Ministers have the great privilege and duty of delivering change to the poorest people in the world at a time of significant challenges. If we in this House wish to end the abuse of power, to end inequality in education and health, and to end the waste of worklessness and transform our world, we must rise to meet the challenges of globalisation, technology and migration. We believe we achieve more by our common endeavour than we achieve alone.\nBut this Queen\u2019s Speech was notable for the things it did not mention as much as for those it did. The right hon. Lady\u2019s party promised to scrap the Human Rights Act yet there was nothing on that in the Gracious Speech. We on the Labour Benches believe human rights are universal and inalienable. Mature democracies like ours should support the development of free societies everywhere while upholding our own legal and moral obligations.\nBritain helped draft the European convention on human rights after the genocide of world war two. What message does it send to the bigots and tyrants of the world if we leave that convention? If we turn our back on human rights, what hope is there for those awaiting the death penalty in prisons around the world? What message does that send to Burma, Syria, North Korea, Sri Lanka and Iran?\nWorkers\u2019 rights are also human rights, so will the right hon. Lady use some of the \u00a31.8 billion she has earmarked for economic development to work with trade unions to tackle the abuses of migrant workers building Qatar\u2019s 2022 World cup stadiums? The International Trade Union Confederation estimates that 1,200 workers have died so far. That is the human toll of FIFA\u2019s corruption. The deaths of those people are a stain on the beautiful game. The right hon. Lady\u2019s Government should organise a summit to press for change at FIFA, and that change must also include a review of the decision to award the World cup to Qatar.\nToday we face the greatest refugee crisis since the second world war, with 55 million people in need of our help. Over the past two years we have seen a huge tragedy unfolding in the Mediterranean. People fleeing conflict in Syria, Libya and Eritrea are putting their lives into the hands of the traffickers because the world is turning away in their hour of need. The right hon. Lady\u2019s Government were wrong to withdraw from the Mare Nostrum Mediterranean rescue force saying it acted as a pull factor, but they were right to realise their mistake, to correct it and to participate in the new\nMediterranean rescue force, and we pay tribute to our armed forces who are engaged in that task.\nThis country has a proud history of helping those fleeing persecution, yet we have offered safe haven via the United Nations to fewer people than Germany, Austria, Canada, Sweden, France and even Australia. The right hon. Lady\u2019s Government have resettled just 187 Syrian refugees under the UK\u2019s vulnerable persons relocation scheme. Labour Members now urge her to work with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to offer safe haven to the children of Syria.\nGiven that we have given 25 times more than the French to assist those fleeing from Syria, does the hon. Lady think it also right that we should be put on the same basis for taking as many people into this country, when most of them would rather go back to their own land?\nMary Creagh Shadow Secretary of State for International Development\nThe right hon. Gentleman talks about our previous work. Under the UN scheme, we took 2,500 people from Bosnia and 4,000 Kosovar Albanians when our troops were engaged in the no-fly zone and the airstrikes in the former Yugoslavia. It is not a question of either/or; it is a question of and/and. Our country\u2019s proud tradition of offering safe haven to those fleeing persecution should not be forgotten.\nWe heard some excellent speeches, including from Sir Alan Duncan, but I will concentrate on Members who made their maiden speech. There was an excellent contribution from Suella Fernandes, who shared her family\u2019s personal story in a powerful and eloquent maiden speech. My hon. Friend Melanie Onn reminded us of the question of what happens when the renewables run out. She fought off UKIP in her seat, and she set out the future for her town, with 4,000 new green jobs in the energy sector in partnership with the European Union. Rebecca Pow made her maiden speech, and we are glad to hear that her constituency is recovering from the floods. There was also an excellent speech by my hon. Friend Julie Cooper, who shared with us the fact that 90% of sound systems in Hollywood are made in Burnley, which we will all think about when we watch the next blockbuster.\nWe heard an excellent speech from Ms Ahmed-Sheikh, who talked about the importance of women\u2019s participation in politics. She represents a constituency that combines both The Famous Grouse and Gleneagles\u2014she has the best of both worlds.\nWe heard a moving tribute to the members of our armed forces and about the needs of veterans from Johnny Mercer. He paid a moving tribute to Lance Sergeant Dan Collins, who took his own life, and Lance Bombardier Mark Chandler, who was killed in action in Afghanistan. Those were deeply moving moments that this Chamber will not forget in a hurry.\nWe also heard a great speech from Maria Caulfield. She and I share an Irish heritage, although I cannot say that I have burned any effigies of Alex Salmond, although there is always time\u2014so good, they burned him twice!\nGavin Robinson made an excellent speech, and he talked about the importance of Bombardier to his constituency.\nMy hon. Friend Conor McGinn spoke movingly about how he was a child of the peace process. He talked about the contribution of the Irish community and the difference it has made to Britain. We also had two speeches from Members who can perhaps be described, in the words of Thomas Hardy\u2019s \u201cTess of the d\u2019Urbervilles,\u201d as maidens no more: the Mayor of London, who is also known as Boris Johnson, and the right hon. Member for Gordon, who waxed lyrical on the Prime Minister\u2019s secret renegotiations with the EU. He compared the renegotiations to the South Sea Company, whereby a company was set up but people were not allowed to know its purpose until it was all finished.\nWe heard excellent speeches from Danny Kinahan on the need for the military covenant to be recognised in Northern Ireland and from Scott Mann, who described delivering his own and others\u2019 election literature.\nMrs Drummond rightly reminded us of the debt we owe the intelligence services.\nPatrick Grady began by wishing peace on this House and ended by wishing peace on the world.\nMrs Trevelyan reminded us of Sir William Beveridge, one of her predecessors, and the importance of realising the potential of every child.\nJames Heappey spoke eloquently of his service to his country in Basra, Kabul and Sangin.\nMy hon. Friend Cat Smith spoke of the proud history of non-conformism in her constituency and our duty to accept more refugees.\nMike Wood also spoke about the importance of businesses in his constituency and the need to keep working in Europe.\nLet me turn to the three immediate tasks ahead of the International Development Secretary in the next six months: the financing for development summit in July; the sustainable development summit in September; and the climate summit in December. Those international summits will shape the life chances of millions of people, yet only one, the climate summit, received a mention in the Gracious Speech. Will she encourage her right hon. Friend the Chancellor to attend the financing for development summit, to demonstrate UK leadership? It will be crucial to convince other wealthy countries to make their fair contribution to put poorer nations on the path to a low-carbon, secure and sustainable future.\nAt September\u2019s summit, the world must focus the new sustainable development goals on the growing gap between rich and poor. Inequality reduces growth, hindering development. Ensuring women\u2019s political, social, economic and human rights will help eradicate poverty and achieve inclusive economic growth. Across the world, millions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face criminalisation, hatred and persecution. Inequalities in gender, caste, race, sexuality, community, disability, religion, and ethnicity far too often determine people\u2019s life chances. Ensuring that everyone has access to healthcare is essential to ending poverty. The best way to protect against disease is to build a resilient, publicly controlled, publicly funded health service. With Ebola still lingering in Sierra Leone and Guinea, will the International Development Secretary now prioritise the provision of universal health coverage in the sustainable development goals?\nThe third summit is the climate summit in December. As many right hon. and hon. Members have said, the effect of climate change will hit the poorest people hardest. Eradicating poverty goes hand in hand with tackling climate change. If we do not cap temperature rises below 2\u00b0, millions of people will fall back into poverty. DFID must be fully involved in the preparations and negotiations for the climate conference. The climate change crisis is not an abstract geography and weather question, but a threat to the lives and livelihoods of millions of people.\nThe Gracious Speech was marked by the commitment to the EU referendum. Our country needs strong alliances around the world. Those alliances start in Europe, and a strong Britain benefits from a strong European Union. The Prime Minister has been uncharacteristically coy about what he is trying to renegotiate with other EU leaders. Labour Members look forward to making the case for remaining in the biggest market in the world, the protector of our rights and freedoms as workers and consumers, and the most successful peace process the world has ever seen.\nIn conclusion, there is an ambition across this House to see a better world, as Members from both sides have passionately made clear in a range of speeches today. The last Labour Government cancelled debt, trebled the aid budget, and brokered ambitious deals on trade and climate change. We will not allow that history to be rewritten by Conservative Members. In Opposition, we will support the Government unfailingly and in good faith where it is appropriate to do so. Where it is not, we will force them to act, as we did when the Government failed to act on their 2010 manifesto promise to commit 0.7% of gross national income to international development aid. This Government must not squander the leadership role that the 0.7% commitment gives them. As many hon. Members have said in this debate, we have to choose and shape Britain\u2019s future place in Europe and in the world. As the global village becomes smaller and more connected, we believe we must build a world where power, wealth and opportunity is in the hands of the many, not the few, and where we achieve more by our common endeavour than we achieve alone.\nJustine Greening The Secretary of State for International Development 9:39 pm, 1st June 2015\nI am delighted to have the impossible task of trying to wind up a wide-ranging debate on an incredibly important topic. It has been characterised by some outstanding maiden speeches by Members from across the House and I will do my best to do them justice in wrapping up.\nI should start by saying how proud I am to have been re-elected to represent my own community of Putney, Roehampton and Southfields. I am very proud to have achieved a bigger majority, with a bigger share of the vote, in 2015 than I did in 2010. It is a real privilege for me to be able to continue to represent my local community, as it is for many other Members across the House.\nOn this important debate today, there can be no argument that the actions this country takes on the world stage matter to all of our lives here in Britain, and, as my hon. Friend Nadhim Zahawi pointed out, history shows that we often shape the lives of so many others beyond these shores as well. By standing tall in the world, Britain not only protects our interests but promotes them. It stands up for the values we believe in, and does the right thing by the poorest people on the planet.\nWe should be clear that these issues are not either/or options; in fact they go hand in hand. We know that in today\u2019s world, global problems such as migration, disease and terrorism all find their way on to our doorsteps. Instability in a country such as Somalia can end up affecting us through piracy. We either tackle and shape those problems, or they will tackle and shape us instead. It has never been clearer that our national security and long-term economic prosperity depend on greater prosperity and security in the wider world.\nBy contrast, countries that progress successfully on the path of development\u2014 countries such as China or India\u2014present our country with huge economic opportunities. We can either make the most of those emerging economic opportunities, as my hon. Friend Robert Jenrick said, or risk being left behind by those countries that will take advantage of the opportunities.\nAs I have said, this House has heard many excellent contributions today, and I want to pick up on a number of them, especially the incredibly impressive maiden speeches. I am proud that our Conservative intake includes people from all walks of life, including from military service, and the NHS. We also now have a former postman. All those Members have a real ethos of public service, which led them to stand and be elected to represent their own communities. I am immensely proud to welcome all of them to the House today.\nLet me pick up on a few contributions. First, I am delighted that my hon. Friend Boris Johnson is back in the House. We have missed his colour over the years, and we look forward to more new words, such as schmoozathon, over the coming months. It is also great to see Alex Salmond back a second time around. He must have made a number of maiden speeches over the course of his career.\nMelanie Onn gave us a fantastic opening speech. She has a tough act to follow. I often wondered whether her predecessor had found his own renewable energy source that he drew on over the years. I have no doubt that she will do a great job representing her local community without necessarily having to change her name to that of a local fish, as her predecessor did.\nLet me turn now to the speeches made by my new hon. Friends. As first generation migrants, my hon. Friends the Members for Fareham (Suella Fernandes) and for Lewes (Maria Caulfield) set out their take on being able to contribute to our country and talked about the aspirations that their parents had when they arrived here. Whatever debate we have around having good controls over our immigration policy, the success or otherwise of those people who make their lives here is intrinsically linked to the success of our country, and we should never ever forget that.\nMy hon. Friend Rebecca Pow talked about Somerset being the gateway to the south-west I am pleased that with the investment going into the A303 it will be a gateway that remains open rather than closed for the future.\nI will continue to speak until 10 o\u2019clock, Mr Speaker, if that is acceptable to you. I just want to ensure that we both understand how I am approaching my closing speech.\nJulie Cooper talked about the northern powerhouse. I am pleased she recognised the Chancellor\u2019s aim of setting our northern cities and regions on their feet again, contributing to our economy. I know, having grown up just outside Sheffield, the contribution those cities can make. She recognised the strategy that is now in place and talked about how the old mills are being reinvented for the 21st century. That is exactly the kind of change we want to see in those communities and I can assure her that we will work through many of the Bills in the Queen\u2019s Speech to continue to stimulate economic growth right across our country.\nI pay tribute to the maiden speech from Ms Ahmed-Sheikh, from the SNP, who talked about job creation and how important it is in her local community. That point was also made by the new hon. Members for Belfast East (Gavin Robinson), for South Antrim (Danny Kinahan) and for St Helens North (Conor McGinn). They were all powerful introductions to the House and I pay tribute to those Members.\nAs Mary Creagh mentioned, perhaps one of the most moving speeches we heard today was from my hon. Friend Johnny Mercer. He clearly comes to this House having set himself a real mission and it is one with which we can all agree and, I hope, support, particularly his aims of helping to improve support for people with mental health issues in our country and understanding how that affects veterans and people who have served in our armed forces. I certainly remember a case in my constituency of a man who had served in Northern Ireland and had come back and spent years suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, which took a great toll not only on him personally but on his wider family. My hon. Friend has set himself a noble mission and I wish him all the best in tackling it.\nMy hon. Friend Scott Mann, who is now no longer a postman, is incredibly welcome in the House. He talked about how he wants the message of aspiration and blue collar Conservatism to run through everything we do as a party and as a Government. I could not agree with him more. I also went to my local comprehensive school and came from a very ordinary background and his achievements in reaching this House are significant. I wish him well in his future career. I should also take this opportunity to say a big thank you to my postman, Ryan, who pointed out to me during the election just how heavy his postbag was, delivering not only my literature, as he pointed out, but everyone else\u2019s.\nMy hon. Friend Mrs Drummond, aside from pointing out her cycling prowess, again talked about the importance of her local economy and how it is steadily changing to be as successful in the 21st century as it was in the 20th century. I was in u",

        "raw_content": "There's even more evidence that social media increases depression and loneliness\nWe can't help comparing ourselves to others on social media.\neldar nurkovic / Shutterstock\nA new study has shown a link between social media use and depression.\nResearch has been hinting at the connection for several years, but scientists from the University of Pennsylvania say this is the most comprehensive, rigorous study yet.\nPeople tend to show a more glamorous, positive, and envious lifestyle on their social media.\nBut social media isn't all bad.\nLike many things, it's all about balance and moderation.\nEver since sites like Facebook and Instagram became part of daily life, scientists have wondered whether they contribute to mental health problems. In fact, research has hinted at a connection between social media use and depression for several years.\nA new study, published in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, has added more evidence to the theory.\nThe researchers from the University of Pennsylvania designed their experiment to be more comprehensive than previous studies on the topic. Rather than relying on short-term lab data or self-reported questionnaires, they recruited 143 undergraduate students to share screenshots of their Phone battery screens over a week to collect data on how much they were using social media apps \u2014 Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram.\nSubjects were told either to maintain their typical social media behaviour, or limit it to 10 minutes per day. Alongside the screen shot data, the researchers also looked at how much the participants experienced fear of missing out, anxiety, depression, and loneliness.\nRead more:Yale psychiatrist has one explanation for why students these days are so anxious\n\"Here's the bottom line,\" said Melissa G. Hunt, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania and lead author of the study. \"Using less social media than you normally would leads to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness. These effects are particularly pronounced for folks who were more depressed when they came into the study.\"\nShe added 18-to-22-year-olds shouldn't stop using social media altogether, but cutting down might be beneficial.\n\"It is a little ironic that reducing your use of social media actually makes you feel less lonely,\" she said.\n\"Some of the existing literature on social media suggests there's an enormous amount of social comparison that happens. When you look at other people's lives, particularly on Instagram, it's easy to conclude that everyone else's life is cooler or better than yours.\"\nPeople tend to show a more glamorous, positive, and envious lifestyle on their social media. In fact, over half of millennials admit they portray their relationship as better than it really is.\nThis is a problem because your social media life can become like a negative feedback loop \u2014 wanting others to be jealous of your life, while constantly comparing yourself to those on your feed.\n\"If you spend most of your time scrolling through your newsfeed checking out other people's lives and compare them to your own, you become more at risk of developing (or having worsening) symptoms of depression or anxiety,\" psychologist Allison Abrams told Business Insider. \"This is especially so in those with low self esteem.\"\nRead more:Half of millennials portray their relationship on social media as better than it really is \u2014 here's why that's a problem\nA study earlier this year found teens who spend too much time looking at screens are more unhappy. But, if they spent just less than an hour using the technology, the opposite was true.\nThe results suggest social media and screens should be used in moderation, just like most things. But they are probably not as bad for us as we've been led to believe.\nIn fact, one expert \u2014 Andrew Przybylski, a senior research fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute \u2014 told Business Insider that much of our bias against social media may simply be a projection of our own fears. We talk to each other about how smartphones are decreasing our intelligence and ruining our real friendships, but in reality, we may just be worrying that this is true.\nScreens shouldn't take time away from physical activity and sleep.\nLooking at screens isn't a good idea if you're doing it in lieu of any physical exercise or sleep. But used in moderation, technology is handy for staying in touch with friends when in-person contact isn't a possibility, and video games can improve your skills in coordination, problem-solving, and memory.\nHunt said the new study only looked at three social media apps, so it's not clear if it applies more broadly. But she hopes to answer more questions with further research. Overall, she said there are two conclusions we can reach from the study's results.\n\"When you're not busy getting sucked into clickbait social media, you're actually spending more time on things that are more likely to make you feel better about your life.\" she said. \"In general, I would say, put your phone down and be with the people in your life.\"\nSEE ALSO: How social networks like Instagram could help identify when someone is depressed\nMore: Science Psychology Social Media Mental Health",

In July, the region\u2019s Mediterranean climate brings hot weather, clear blue skies and very little chance of rain. This makes it the perfect time of year to relax by the sea, swim in the inviting Mediterranean waters or explore further inland.\nAt this time of year the average temperature on the Costa del Sol is a warm 25\u00b0C, reaching highs of 29\u00b0C in the afternoons. With such strong sunshine and hot temperatures, make sure you stay hydrated, seek shade and regularly apply sun cream. After dark, temperatures are a cooler 19\u00b0C, ideal for evenings out at the local bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Just 2mm of rain\u2019s expected over the course of July, so you don\u2019t need to worry about wet weather. Instead, you can enjoy sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the mild Mediterranean Sea, which measures 22\u00b0C during the month.",

If you\u2019re going in August then there\u2019ll be hot weather and not much rain across most of Turkey, particularly at the most popular holiday destinations. Places on the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts have Mediterranean weather, with August being one of the hottest months of the year. You\u2019ll have a bit more rain on the Black Sea coast while there\u2019s less on the Sea of Marmara.\nThe average high in popular Antalya on the south coast is 34\u00baC in August, and you won\u2019t need many warm clothes as temperatures only drop to 21\u00baC at night. The sea\u2019s perfect for swimming at 29\u00baC and humidity\u2019s high. There\u2019s just 5mm of rain and you can expect 14 hours of daylight with 12 hours of sunshine each day.

        "raw_content": "Visa issue stands in way of Doncaster Rovers return for Bongani Khumalo\nPaul Dickov has admitted he would like to bring Bongani Khumalo back to Doncaster Rovers - but any potential move could be blocked by red tape.\nKhumalo, a free agent following his release from Tottenham Hotspur, is said to be struggling to obtain a visa to continue playing in England after missing a large chunk of last season through injury.\nThe South African defender suffered a serious knee injury playing for his national team in March 2014, while on loan at Doncaster, which kept him sidelined for a year.\nKhumalo ended last season by making ten appearances for Colchester United, helping them to stay in League One.\nDickov told BBC Radio Sheffield: \u201cI\u2019ve been in contact with his representatives and the problem that Bongs has got at the minute is his working visa in this country.\n\u201cThrough the unlucky injury that he had and the amount of time he was out, he has not played the amount of games for the national team that is required and the amount of games in this country that is required.\n\u201cThat makes it a problem for him getting his visa and it\u2019s looking unlikely at the minute that it is something that could be sorted out. I know his representatives here and in South Africa are trying to sort it out.\n\u201cBongs was fantastic for us, on and off the pitch, as a player and a person,\u201d added Dickov.\n\u201cHe would definitely be one that we\u2019d be interested in.\n\u201cI made the call to his agent at the end of the season just to find out what he was thinking because he finished it really strongly at Colchester.\n\u201cWe were told then the main problem would be the visa and that\u2019s an ongoing thing at the minute, and it\u2019s still a problem for him.\n\u201cThat\u2019s not just disappointing for me but for Bongs too because he wants to stay in England.\u201d\nMeanwhile, Khumalo\u2019s agent Glyn Binkin has insisted his client will stay in Europe and will not return to the Premier Soccer League in South Africa, despite rumoured interest from SuperSport United.\n\u201cHe is remaining in Europe. We have several options, but at the moment I can\u2019t reveal the names of the teams,\u201d Binkin said.",

        "raw_content": "As a brief aside since it was mentioned early in the podcast, the Ultrasound Leadership Academy is a great resource where clinicians have the opportunity to gain fellowship level training in ultrasound without having to move or lose a year of work. The image above (borrowed from here) might suggest that this ranting is dangerous, but it is actually to help bring about a point and find solutions. With that said, let us begin the ranting.\nNight shift is a lifestyle to say the least. The night shift is fraught with the interesting and the strange. It can be the place where patients come after a long night of drinking or for that chronic condition nagging for years that for whatever reason needed to come to the department that night. The distinct patients also come at a unique time when many parts of the hospital may not be open or readily available, especially in a rural center that may only have certain departments staffed during daytime hours. Those who practice at night need to be at the top of their game. Confidence is needed to know when to make decisions without the unnecessary phone calls or consults that will eventually lead to the fatigue of those called upon. This is not to suggest going without what is available, but to choose wisely when that trigger needs to be pulled. Overall, the night shift itself can be one of the most interesting and challenging environments many will get the opportunity to practice.\nThose who are truly the nocturnist type or night-shift worker will appreciate certain struggles. No matter who knows about the shift and the potential lifestyle, ultimately events will take place at the most inopportune of times. For example, that mandatory meeting that is right in the middle of the usual sleep schedule for the night shift worker. Another example is of the series of phone calls or texts from individuals, especially family or colleagues, who either do not know or do not care that the night shift life requires some version of sleep and usually at their daytime hours. That does not mean one should never call or text, but as we choose to call them only when needed (and not to discuss dinner plans in the middle of their sleep) please do the same for us. Also, attempt to find times when such activities can be scheduled that would be of benefit to everyone. For example, talk about preferred times for meetings or phone calls.\nRemember, fatigue can be a major issue with night shift. This is especially an issue for those who are usually not working the night shift, have a lack of sleep due to said activities from above, or eother reasons such as family. Fatigue can lead to poor decision making and can even be dangerous outside of the hospital including the drive home. By making night shift the routine and not the exception (or placing someone on a day shift when they work exclusively nights) this allows for safer practice. Should this not be possible though, it should be acceptable to call for help and to allow patients when possible to sit and wait for a fresh set of eyes to help evaluate the problem. There is growing evidence for Decision Fatigue,especially in medicine and this is a growing concern. Scott Weingart included this in his \"How Not to be a #ResusWANKER\" talk. Also remember that there are simple ways to allow for a \"reset\" for decision fatigue such as eating or taking a brief walk.\nEarly adopters are people who incorporate new ideas more readily. The graphic above taken here from EmCrit discusses this in even more detail. Early adoption has its benefits and limitations. Essentially, with early adoption there is the potential benefit to stay ahead in medicine but it runs the real risk of developing too quickly when later research may show little benefit. A recent example of one such concept is potentially ketofol as we discussed in a previous podcast. Yes, ketofol may still have benefits but it may not be as useful as it was once held. What we want to avoid for ourselves and our patients are being late adopters, especially the \"laggards\" as it may be said. Laggards could be described as those who graduated medical school in the 1970s but still practicing the same medicine without ever really advancing to the information made prevalent today. These individuals are the ones who benefit most from department policies or other guidelines when others in the department may have already been practicing this way.\nFritz gives an excellent example of how early adoption can have potential benefits. In a recent case, he treated a patient with Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome using capsaicin cream. However, the research is very limited but when pushed in a corner this decision was made with success for the patient. Early adoption is not for the faint of heart. It requires researching the evidence first hand and making critical decisions. Furthermore, when possible, it is best to discuss this with the patient that will receive the treatment. Although we should be working more to incorporate shared decision making with our patients in general, this is one of those times to consider it even more seriously. Remember, the patient is the one who will receive this treatment which could have unforeseen consequences.\nOne tip for early adoption is to have an ally early. Having someone well known and respected to the department or to the people who may be involved could have great benefit. Make sure they have the research and the understanding, as well. Have these papers available. Fritz suggested resources such as Mendeley. Overall, the more people and resources on your side the better.\nIn summary, night shift can be very enjoyable but it does have some real challenges both in and out of the department. However, with the right mentality and potentially lifestyle changes it can be rewarding with little detriment. Early adoption has many advantages and when used correctly can be of significant benefit both to the patient and the provider. The important part to remember though is to have the the evidence that demonstrates what is wanted and to have support in making that decision.\nWhat are your thoughts?

        "raw_content": "Arkansas State Police nab cargo theft suspect, one still on the run\nFlorida: Broward's 'El Gato' facing prison for nation's biggest pharmaceutical heist\nA Southwest Ranches man who played a key role in what prosecutors say was the biggest pharmaceutical drug theft in U.S. history faces as much as 10 years in federal prison when he is sentenced today.\nYosmany Nunez, 42, who is also known as El Gato (The Cat), admitted last year that he helped steal about $80 million worth of prescription drugs from a Connecticut warehouse. Some of the drugs were later sold on South Florida streets.\nNunez admitted he was one of a group of South Florida men who planned and executed the audacious theft of cancer and mental health drugs from the Eli Lilly Company warehouse in Enfield, Conn., in March 2010.\nThe men cut a hole in the roof of the warehouse, disabled the alarm system, waited to make sure that police did not show up, then used the company's forklifts to load more than 40 pallets of drugs on to a tractor trailer they had brought with them.\nThe drugs were then driven to a Doral storage facility, where some of them were found during a 2011 search. Authorities said some of the drugs \u2013 which included Zyprexa, Cymbalta, Prozac and Gemzar \u2013 were also sold illegally on the streets of South Florida.\n\"The offense was reportedly the largest pharmaceutical theft in U.S. history. It was choreographed and executed with precision. It involved multiple individuals, each of whom appeared at the right place and time and performed their particular role successfully,\" federal prosecutors in Connecticut wrote.\nNunez, who drove a Mercedes and lived in what prosecutors called \"an opulent home\" on two acres on the 17000 block of Southwest 70th Street. The residence was owned by a limited liability corporation, records show.\nNunez was arrested in April in Broward County, four years after the crime, and pleaded guilty to one count of transportation of stolen property in November.\nThe maximum penalty for the crime is 10 years in federal prison and authorities are recommending that the judge impose a prison term between seven and nine years when Nunez is sentenced in federal court in New Haven.\nNunez was \"an integral planner and participant in this carefully choreographed caper and it was not his first foray into the cargo theft arena,\" federal prosecutors wrote. They urged the judge to impose a substantial term of imprisonment.\nNunez was born and raised in Cuba and dropped out of high school to help support his family, his lawyers H. Frank Rubio Jr. and Rodney Bryson wrote in court records.\nIn 1999 at age 27, Nunez came to the U.S. on a home-made raft. He began working in construction here, sent money home to his family and described life in the U.S. as \"glorious,\" the defense said. He also drank a bottle of whiskey a day and failed to pay his taxes in recent years, according to himself and prosecutors.\n\"[Nunez] has indeed been humiliated and is extremely remorseful,\" his lawyers wrote. \"Mr. Nunez HAS recognized his wrong and has taken the first steps necessary to put his life into order.\"\nThey said he played an important role in persuading some of his co-defendants to plead guilty, including during an unusual face-to-face encounter with one of his cohorts after they were arrested.\nNunez had his legal permanent U.S. resident status revoked and was ordered deported in March because of prior criminal convictions for interstate shipment theft and other offenses, according to prosecutors.\nHe was released from the Krome Detention Center pending deportation but remained in the U.S. because of his status as a Cuban citizen. He has been locked up since his arrest about a month later.\n\"Because the United States has taken diplomatic steps to normalize relations with Cuba, it is more likely that he will be deported from the United States,\" after serving his prison term, his defense lawyers wrote.\npmcmahon@tribune.com, 954-356-4533 or Twitter @SentinelPaula\nMississippi panel moves ahead with felony charges for cargo theft\nA bill on the move at the Mississippi statehouse would dole out stiff punishment for truck, rail or container cargo thieves.\nThe House Judiciary B Committee voted on Thursday, Jan. 29, to advance a bill that would establish cargo theft as a specific offense and impose felony charges with escalating fines and punishment based on the value of goods. Sponsored by Rep. Steve Massengill, R-Hickory Flat, HB1263 mirrors a 2014 Georgia law.\nAccording to FreightWatch International, Mississippi ranks 15th in the number of cargo thefts. California ranked first and neighboring Alabama ranked 14th.\nOfficials at OOIDA say legislative efforts to deter cargo theft are a step in the right direction to help protect truck drivers and their property.\nMike Matousek, OOIDA director of state legislative affairs, said in most cases of cargo theft that owner-operators would effectively be out of business.\n\u201cIn the short term, without equipment there is no way to make money and in the long term they might lose business from a freight broker or motor carrier,\u201d Matousek said.\nIn an effort to discourage thefts in the state, offenders would face prison in addition to monetary penalties. Specifically, thieves who steal cargo from trucks loaded with controlled substances, or pharmaceuticals, valued at less than $10,000 would face fines up to $100,000 and/or up to 10 years in prison.\nTheft of controlled substances valued up to $1 million could result in as much as 25 years behind bars and/or fines up to $1 million. Loads valued in excess of $1 million could result in prison terms as long as 30 years and/or fines up to $1 million.\nViolators of other property heists valued as much as $1,000 would face misdemeanor charges. Theft of cargo valued as high as $10,000 would include fines up to $100,000 and/or 10 years behind bars. Stolen loads valued in excess of $10,000 could result in 20 years in prison and/or fines up to $1 million.\nAnother provision in the bill covers fifth wheels, and any antitheft locking device attached to the fifth wheel. Any attempt to alter, move or sell a fifth wheel could result in 10-year prison terms and/or $100,000 fines.\nOOIDA Director of Security Operations Doug Morris has also said that providing truckers with safe places to park is needed to address this issue.\nThe Mississippi bill, HB1263, awaits further consideration in the House.",

We came here after the oft referenced\u201ddifficult time\u201d (take me out for coffee or drinks one day \u2013 I\u2019ll fill you in on all that happened before we got here), after they had called the first female Rector (OK, so actually I didn\u2019t come after that \u2013 I am that!), after the faithful members of this parish defied all odds and did not close up shop. We joined God\u2019s Trinity Team together.\nWe are newcomers.\nAnd because of that, I know that sometimes we feel like it isn\u2019t our place to speak up, or jump in. Sometimes we wonder whether we are allowed to participate in planning for the future of this amazing church. So, I just wanted to say that it is our place, we can jump in, and speak up, and have a say in how we, together, answer God\u2019s call to serve in this place.\nWant to know who else was a newcomer?\nImagine salvation history if those folks had sat quietly by, thinking it was \u201ctoo soon\u201d to be able to contribute meaningfully to the life of the community!\nNow, to be honest, my reason for writing this is not just to give y\u2019all a little pep talk, to make you feel included and loved \u2013 \u2019cause that is already the truth. No, I\u2019m writing this because on Sunday, May 18 after the 10 o\u2019clock service we are going to have an all-parish meeting that will be focused on the future of this place \u2013 and I need all y\u2019all to be there. To be there, to speak your mind, to get excited about how God is moving in this place.\nWe are newcomers, and we are included in God\u2019s vision of Trinity Church.",

        "raw_content": "Biography \u2013 Marion D. March\nMarion began her astrological studies in 1966 and by 1970 was a top professional, co-authoring with Joan McEvers a best-selling six volume series entitled, \"The Only Way to Learn Astrology\". Aside from her books, Marion co-founded Aquarius Workshops and edited the \u201cAspects\u201d journal.\nWhen many in the community looked for change, Marion, along with three US organization heads, Noel Tyl (AFAN), Carol Tebbs (ISAR) and Neil Michelson (NCGR), established the United Astrology Congress (UAC) that first convened in 1986. She was Conference Coordinator for UAC\u201986, \u201889 and \u201992. An internationally known and respected lecturer and teacher, Marion received much acclaim, including two Regulus Awards.\nMarion was born in Germany in 1923 at Hitler\u2019s rise. Thanks to her father\u2019s prophetic intuition, by 1930 he sold his bank and urged all of his associates to invest outside of Germany. The family moved to Switzerland, so from speaking German, Marion now had to learn Italian and French. Ascona drew interesting people like a magnet and there were many political dissidents, intellectuals and artists fleeing the gathering storm in Germany. The famous and the infamous had lunch at her parent\u2019s home and Marion watched and listened. She writes, \"Erich Maria Remarque (All Quiet on the Western Front) was a neighbor and rowed over for exercise at least twice a week. Hermann Hesse lived one lake over and we saw him regularly along with other famous and intriguing people - I learned more listening to them than I ever learned in school.\"\nIn the fall of 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland, the family fled to Chile. They were detained for six-weeks but when they finally reached Valparaiso, the ship which carried their trunks had been torpedoed and sunk. Marion had to learn Spanish while waiting for their US visas and soon, Marion had to start all over again stuttering her way into English. Movies were her tutors and she watched endlessly, repeating the English lines and phrases.\nIn the 1940\u2019s Marion found that the crazy world of Hollywood fit quite comfortably. She played in a few small film roles, leading up to a big break at 20th Century Fox and a role with Tyrone Power. Unfortunately, it included a more private role with Darryl Zanuck which she declined.\nMarion went back to Switzerland in 1947 where she re-met Nico March. She had known Nico before but had paid no attention to him as he was a year younger and a student. This time, they were both ready for the other and married on 9/01/1948. After a short honeymoon, they sailed to the US for their permanent home.\nAfter the children, Mikki and Nico, were grown, Marion\u2019s passion for astrology segued into a career where she was actively involved to the end of her life. Marion died peacefully in the arms of her beloved Nico on 5/28/2001, 2:22 PM PDT. It was Memorial Day, appropriately, for her memory will remain as one of the outstanding 20th century astrologers.",

        "title": "5 Fingerstyle Guitar Players you NEED to Hear #5 Andy Mckee",
        "raw_content": "5 Contemporary Fingerstyle Guitar Players you NEED to Hear: #5 Andy Mckee\nApril 12, 2016 / Tagged: Music Inspiration /\nNo list of contemporary finger style guitarists would be complete without Andy Mckee. While perhaps recognised by casual listeners for his mind-blowing cover songs, Mckee\u2019s original compositions are a complex force of finger style madness- many of which have arguably redefined what it means to be an acoustic guitarist.\nSo without further ado, let\u2019s get into a few of the reasons why I believe Andy Mckee is easily one of the best guitarists on the contemporary acoustic guitar scene.\nA cover like no other\nAndy McKee\u2019s latest album \u2013 Live Book\nThe simple fact is: most mainstream music listeners will be more likely to discover a finger style guitarist if their repertoire contains covers of a few well known songs. Unfortunately, this means that in an attempt to gain more listeners, some players have a tendency to simply replicate the original with little to no thought given towards how they can make their own creative mark on the composition.\nThis is problematic for a couple of reasons:\n1) You don\u2019t get a chance to show off your own unique skill set, and\n2) If an audience wanted to hear an exact copy of the original, they\u2019d go and listen to the original.\nI\u2019ve highlighted this last point because it\u2019s a really important thing to remember if you ever decide to make a cover. Just imagine if you were an audience member and five guitarists took it in turns to play a cover of the same song, one after the other. Would you remember the four who simply reproduced the original, or the one who dared to change things up a little and make it their own?\nAndy Mckee is an expert on making his cover songs unique. Able to draw on a vast set of skills, Mckee isn\u2019t afraid to integrate some of his signature moves into the melodies we know and love, drawing on complex harmonic sequences, two hand techniques and percussive taps to transform each original into an instrumental masterpiece.\nTake \u201cAfrica\u201d for instance. The chances are that you\u2019ve heard the original track by Toto, yet the way Mckee stuns with such impressive command of his signature two-hand technique makes you almost forget the song belongs to anyone other than him. Watch as he manages to balance the opening riff and main melody on the left hand alongside an impressive right-hand percussive technique:\nElsewhere, in his cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Mckee convincingly transforms his guitar into a one-man orchestra. Take special note of how he uses his thumb to produce an ongoing bass pattern, whilst simultaneously utilising a percussive slap of the strings as a backbeat:\nA Pioneer of the Two-Hand Technique\nI mentioned Mckee\u2019s use of the two-hand technique during my quick breakdown of Africa, but there is so much more to be said about this aspect of his playing. The two hand technique I\u2019m discussing involves moving both of your hands independently to create two virtually separate melodic/rhythmic patterns. Generally speaking, you\u2019ll find that the right hand/strumming hand is producing some sort of rhythm- acting as a drum on the body of the guitar. This hand exists to complement the left hand, which will most often be playing the main melody and any relevant harmonic or chordal ideas.\nIf you\u2019re just starting to develop your finger style technique, then it\u2019s highly likely that you will have never attempted to play your guitar like this before. This is with good reason- because it can be really difficult! Such a technique requires a near-constant attention to coordination and it can become quite confusing when both of your hands are acting in an almost-contrary motion to each other. Simply put, this technique is not for the faint-hearted and usually requires significant time and dedication before you can manage to train both hands to act without confusing the other.\nClick on image to listen to Andy McKee\u2019s first studio album\nThe good news is that Andy Mckee shows us just how great this technique is when you finally get the hang of it. By now you\u2019ve already watched Africa, so you know that Mckee is fully capable of playing a right-hand drum beat without losing focus on the melody his left hand is producing. But just how far can he take this skill?\nLook no further than Drifting. This is arguably one of Mckee\u2019s most well-known original pieces among guitarists (though I\u2019m sure there are many more worthy of that title). Distinguishable for its unique dependence on the two hand technique, Drifting rarely sees Mckee strum or pluck near the body of the guitar. Instead, this composition is a seamless combination of fingerboard tapping, percussive taps, two-finger taps and fingerboard plucking which is both impressive to watch and enjoyable to listen to. If you\u2019re ready for a serious challenge (highly intermediate to advanced players only), you could even pick up one of Mckee\u2019s Drifting tabs and try to learn it! Check it out:\nA Talent that Inspires\nIt goes without saying that Andy Mckee has a command of the guitar that truly is worth aspiring to. For me, the discovery of his music was what led me into the world of acoustic finger style and even now it continues to motivate me to be a better player. I could easily go on about all his other songs and why they\u2019re worth listening to, but instead I\u2019ll just allow you to check out his Youtube channel and discover the rest of the magic that is Andy Mckee\u2019s music for yourself.\nAndy Mckee is the ideal role model for many guitarists, so let\u2019s use him as an inspiration- not a reason to quit!\nYou can also visit McKee\u2019s website for tabs and touring information. However, if you\u2019re looking at learning one of his pieces, it\u2019s important to remember that most songs of this calibre take time to pick up, so don\u2019t expect to be playing it perfectly within the hour. I\u2019ve seen some guitarists struggle with a Mckee piece simply because they aren\u2019t ready to play it yet. If you find that you\u2019re not quite at the right skill level, don\u2019t be discouraged. There\u2019s a long pathway between learning the basics of finger style and mastering an Andy Mckee song, so take the time to develop your skills.",

        "raw_content": "NIH funds work on chronic wounds\nArticle by Diane Kukich Photo by Kathy F. Atkinson May 25, 2016\nNIH grant supports research to engineer new biomaterials\nChronic wounds cause nearly 80,000 lower leg amputations annually in the U.S. alone and are associated with an increased likelihood of death.\nWhile the body generally repairs acute wounds in a predictable series of steps, this process can be disrupted by trauma, medications, foreign objects, and systemic problems such as diabetes, malnutrition, and immune deficiencies.\nWhen an acute wound fails to heal, it becomes a chronic problem.\n\u201cEffective strategies to improve chronic wound repair would impact both quality of life and mortality rates, but standard therapies continue to produce very limited healing incidences,\u201d says the University of Delaware\u2019s Millicent Sullivan.\nSullivan and her colleague Kristi Kiick recently received a $1.4-million grant from the National Institutes of Health for research that could provide a new approach to the treatment of chronic wounds.\nCombining their expertise in gene delivery and materials design, the two are collaborating with Dr. David Margolis in the Department of Dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Perelman School of Medicine on the four-year project, \u201cCollagen Turnover-Stimulated Gene Delivery to Enhance Chronic Wound Repair.\u201d\nSullivan explains that promising therapeutic alternatives include the application of topical growth factors, combination wound dressings, or cellular scaffolds, which provide structural support for cell attachment and the tissue development that follows.\n\u201cHowever, even with these methods, the incidence of full wound closure remains strikingly low, and growth factor delivery methods fail to provide enough growth factor to stimulate the cells appropriately,\u201d she says. \u201cNew strategies to promote efficient and localized production of growth factor by the cells involved in active tissue repair could overcome these issues.\u201d\nOne of the most important aspects of healing is remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which provides the scaffolding for the cellular constituents in all tissues and organs. The strategy Sullivan and Kiick have proposed is to harness ECM remodeling to stimulate growth factor gene release and expression.\nIn particular, they are using peptide-based methods employed by Kiick to decorate nanostructures studied by Sullivan, with a target of localizing delivery vehicles directly in a wound. This can be accomplished by modifying the body\u2019s collagen, a protein that provides strength and structure to the bones, muscles, skin, and tendons. These collagen-integrated nanostructures can then prompt growth factor expression in coordination with tissue repair kinetics.\n\u201cOur goal is to be able to \u2018tune\u2019 the duration of growth factor expression for periods ranging from a few days to several weeks and to coordinate this expression with the body\u2019s needs,\u201d Kiick says. \u201cThis tunability, or on-demand release and expression, should be ideally suited to the uncoordinated repair processes that are a hallmark of the chronic wound environment.\u201d\nThe researchers hope their approach will ultimately be useful as a versatile biomaterials platform that is applicable to not only healing of chronic wounds but also a variety of other regenerative medicine applications.\nMillie Sullivan is an associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.\nKristi Kiick is a professor with joint appointments in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and the Department of Biomedical Engineering.\nThe two began to collaborate in 2011, when they were awarded funding through the University of Delaware Research Foundation (UDRF)\u2019s strategic initiative grants program to explore the concept of designing DNA-modified collagen scaffolds for improving acute wound repair.\nThe strategic initiative grants program \u2014 established in 2008 to support research in the life and health sciences, energy and the environment \u2014 pairs early-career faculty with senior faculty mentors and provides seed money for promising research that will lead to larger proposals to such agencies as NIH and the National Science Foundation.",

        "raw_content": "Acclaimed Film \u2018Woman in Gold\u2019 to Screen at United Nations Headquarters, 28 January\nThe Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme, in partnership with the World Jewish Congress and the Weinstein Company, will screen the acclaimed film Woman in Gold on Thursday, 28 January, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., at United Nations Headquarters in New York. With support from the Weinstein Company and the global network of United Nations information centres, screenings in 25 countries will take place in English, French, German and Spanish in observance of the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.\nParticipants at the New York event will include Cristina Gallach, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information; Simon Curtis, Director, Woman in Gold; Evelyn Sommer, Chair, World Jewish Congress, North America; Monica Dugot, International Director of Restitution, Christie\u2019s; and Simon Wesley A. Fisher, Director of Research, Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany, Inc., and Head of the Claims Conference-World Jewish Restitution Organization Looted Art and Cultural Property Initiative.\n\u201cBy telling personal stories of the Holocaust, such as the one in Woman in Gold, we are reaching new generations and many other people around the world to remind them of the universal lessons of the Holocaust,\u201d said Under-Secretary-General Gallach. \u201cThese stories help us recognize that one individual, like Maria Altmann, can make a difference.\u201d\nDirected by Simon Curtis, Woman in Gold is the remarkable true story of one woman\u2019s journey to reclaim her heritage and seek justice for what happened to her family. Sixty years after she fled Vienna during the Second World War, Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren), an elderly Jewish woman, starts her journey to retrieve family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them, Gustav Klimt's famous painting, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Together with her inexperienced but plucky young lawyer, Randy Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds), she embarks upon a battle that takes them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the United States Supreme Court, forcing her to confront difficult truths about the past along the way.\n\u201cThose Holocaust survivors lucky enough to rebuild their lives and regain their humanity still carry with them the burden of suffering, loss and injustice,\u201d said World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder. \u201cThe story of Woman in Gold is a perfect example of the justice now being served with the return of art and property looted by the Nazis. It is a small but triumphant step for survivors and their heirs, who will continue to fight for their rightful ownership to these assets and expose the truth behind the Nazi theft, and the post-war grab by museums and Governments.\u201d\nGuests may register to attend the screening at www.un.org/holocaustremembrance. Photo identification is required to pass through United Nations security screening at the 1st Avenue and 46th Street entrance.\nThe Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Programme was established by General Assembly resolution 60/7 in 2006 in order to further education about and remembrance of the Holocaust, and thereby help prevent future acts of genocide. Its multifaceted programme includes online and print educational products, seminars, exhibitions, a film series and the annual worldwide observance of the International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust, held on 27 January.\nThe World Jewish Congress is the international organization representing Jewish communities in 100 countries to Governments, Parliaments and international organizations.\nMedia contact: Aaron J.

In \u2018The State of Africa\u2019s Children 2008\u2019, UNICEF argues that child survival in Africa must become a global imperative.\nBy Mihoko Nakagawa\nYOKOHAMA, Japan, 28 May 2008 \u2013 UNICEF globally launched \u2018The State of Africa\u2019s Children 2008: Child Survival\u2019 in Yokohama City, Japan, on the occasion of the Fourth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD IV).\nPresiding over the launch of this first-ever report of its kind were H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of the Republic of Liberia; H.E. President Jakaya Kikwete, President of the United Republic of Tanzania and Chairperson of the African Union; and H.E. Itsunori Onodera, Japan\u2019s Senior Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs.\nAlso on hand were UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman, Goodwill Ambassador Youssou N\u2019Dour and World Bank Vice-President for the Africa Region Obiageli Ezekwesili.\nChild survival in Africa\nEvery year, nearly 10 million children die before their fifth birthday, and half of these deaths occur in Africa, Ms. Veneman pointed out.\nIn sub-Saharan Africa, the mortality rate for children under the age of five decreased by 14 per cent between 1990 and 2006. However, with one in every six children dying before their fifth birthday, sub-Saharan Africa still remains the most difficult place in the world for a child to survive.\n\u201cAs the record shows, many children in Africa die from preventable diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections,\u201d noted Ms. Sirleaf. \u201cSo much more needs to be done for the achievement of Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5\u201d \u2013 the MDGs on reducing child mortality and improving maternal health.\n\u201cFor children, we want Africa to be the best place to begin their life,\u201d said Mr. Kikwete.\nIn 2006, the total number of annual deaths among children under five fell to 9.7 million, representing a 60 per cent drop in the rate of child mortality since 1960. This rapid reduction in child mortality worldwide was feasible because of sound strategies, adequate resources, political commitment and broad collaboration.\nAnd significant progress is already being made in several countries in Africa, including the world\u2019s least developed ones. For example, Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia have recently reduced their child mortality rates by at least 45 per cent, while Eritrea, Ethiopia, Malawi and Mozambique have cut theirs by 40 per cent of more.\nThe essential services and practices required to avert child deaths in Africa are well established.\nThe community-based, integrated health approach needs to be scaled up, said Ms. Veneman. This approach includes life-saving interventions such as immunization, insecticide-treated mosquito nets, vitamin A supplementation, and education for mothers on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and good hygiene.\nMoving forward with partners\n\u2018The State of Africa\u2019s Children 2008\u2019 urges all stakeholders \u2013 governments, international agencies, non-governmental organizations, communities and the private sector \u2013 to unite for child survival.\n\u201cThe public has some of the responsibility. We all need to respond for the achievement of goals,\u201d said Mr. N\u2019Dour.\n\u201cThe international community must support the efforts for child survival,\u201d added Mr. Onodera.\nIn partnership with UNICEF and others, the Government of Japan will support health interventions such as immunization and provision of vitamin A to save the lives of 400,000 children over the next five years.\nAs Ms. Veneman asserted, the survival of Africa\u2019s children must become a global imperative. With just seven years before the 2015 deadline for achieving the MDGs, she said, progress needs to be accelerated.\nThe State of Africa's Children 2008: Interactive report\nThe State of Africa's Children 2008: Child Survival [PDF]\nPress release: Achievements offer new prospects for success in global efforts to help Africa\u2019s children\nVirtual \u2018dialogue\u2019 connects youths from Africa and Asia\nUNICEF flagship report says community health programmes are key to reducing child mortality\nJapan contributes a total of $109 million to benefit children in 25 countries\nYoung \u2018Peace Messengers\u2019 from Yokohama support UNICEF",

        "raw_content": "One-In-Four New Children Murdered... 56 MILLION Per Year\nA new study reveals that one-fourth of unborn children around the world are murdered - a staggering 56 million children per year. The study reveals that the number is actually significantly higher than previously thought.\nOne in four pregnancies ends in an abortion each year, global estimates from the World Health Organization and Guttmacher Institute suggest.\nThe report in the Lancet said 56m induced abortions take place annually - higher than previously thought.\nResearchers acknowledge rates have improved in many rich countries but warn this masks no change in poorer areas over the past 15 years.\nExperts are calling for new approaches to contraceptive services.\nScientists say the annual number of abortions worldwide increased from 50 million a year between 1990-1994 to 56 million a year between 2010-2014.\nThe rise in numbers is mostly seen in the developing world - driven in part by population growth and by a desire for smaller families.\nThis is what the Bible says about the time immediately before God judged the entire world the first time:\nNow the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. - Genesis 6:11\nConsider that in the bloodiest war in all of human history, World War II, roughly 60 million were killed over a six year period. We've now reached a point where approximately the same number of children are killed every single year. That means over the same length of time some six times as many children are murdered as died in all of World War II. Then factor in the 50+ wars that are currently underway, terrorism, and the murder of those already born.\nDid the pre-Flood world have even this level of violence before judgment? I seriously think not, which makes one wonder: if we've surpassed the level of corruption and violence that existed in Noah's day, how close are we to judgment?\nThe Bible describes two great worldwide judgments. The first was by water (the Flood) and the second is by fire:\nAbove all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, \u201cWhere is this \u2018coming\u2019 he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.\u201d But they deliberately forget that long ago by God\u2019s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. - 2 Peter 3:3-7\nConsidering how the signs have now reached a climactic moment and Jesus' return is imminent, I implore every reader who is not right with God to get right with Him now.\nTopics Abortion, As in the days of Noah, Judgment, Signs on the Earth\nThis makes me so sad. I am glad that Jesus is coming soon.",

        "raw_content": "GENEVA, May 29, 2018 \u2013 The non-governmental monitoring group UN Watch, leader of the global campaign to protest Syria\u2019s presidency of the UN-backed Conference on Disarmament (CD), released the following appeal, background sheet and comment as the Assad regime begins its four-week tenure of the world\u2019s top disarmament forum by chairing today\u2019s plenary meeting, at 10 am in Geneva.\nComment by UN Watch\n\u201cHaving the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad preside over global chemical and nuclear weapons disarmament is like putting a serial rapist in charge of a women\u2019s shelter,\u201d said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.\n\u201cThe Assad regime\u2019s documented use of chemical weapons remains the most serious violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention in the treaty\u2019s twenty-year history,\u201d said Neuer.\n\u201cAt a time when Syria has been gassing its own men, women, and children to death, to see Syria heading the world body that is supposed to protect these victims simply shocks the conscience of humanity.\u201d\n\u201cSyria holding the president\u2019s gavel is liable to seriously undermine the UN\u2019s credibility, and will send absolutely the worst message.\u201d\nWhat We Ask Democracies To Do\nOn April 9, 2018, UN Watch revealed that Syria was to head the CD, sparking a global outcry.\nUN Watch launched an appeal and petition, signed by thousands, calling on democracies to protest.\nToday we reiterate our call on all democracies to send an important message by showing their protest in one or more of the following ways:\n\u2022 Democracies should not send ambassadors to today\u2019s plenary; if they must, they should send lower-level delegates or note-takers;\n\u2022 Democracies should, in regard to Syrian ambassador Hussam Eddin Aala \u2014 whose government gasses its own people \u2014 dispense with the customary pleasantries of congratulating the new chair;\n\u2022 Democracies that do send delegates to today\u2019s meeting, or to meetings over the next month, should move swiftly to adjourn CD meetings, so that no business is discussed during Syria\u2019s presidency. Because everyone recognizes that the CD has been paralyzed for more than two decades, no damage will be done to any disarmament work, but a vital message will have been sent.\n\u2022 Democracies like France, Italy, Canada and Japan should denounce Syria\u2019s lack of credentials to serve as head of the world\u2019s top disarmament forum, as the US, the UK and Germany have done.\nWhat is essential is that democracies make clear that it cannot be business as usual when dealing with the Assad regime as president of global disarmament.\nDoes the Conference on Disarmament matter?\nThe Conference on Disarmament (CD) is billed by the UN as \u201cthe single multilateral disarmament negotiating forum of the international community.\u201d Comprised of 65 nations, the CD negotiated the 1996 global nuclear test ban, and the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention. It has been largely paralyzed over the past 20 years. But for many around the world, the symbolism of who is president does matter.\nIn response to criticism over Syria\u2019s presidency, some close to the UN have said \u201cthe CD is not a a UN body.\u201d Does the UN fund, manage, service, oversee or host the Conference on Disarmament?\nYes, the UN does all of those and more:\n\u2022 The UN funds the Conference on Disarmament out of its regular budget.\n\u2022 The UN Secretary-General appoints the Secretary-General of the CD, which is Mr. Michael M\u00f8ller, the Director General of the UN in Geneva.\n\u2022 The CD reports to the UN General Assembly.\n\u2022 The CD\u2019s decisions are recorded as UN documents.\n\u2022 The CD meets on UN premises in Geneva.\n\u2022 The CD is serviced by UN personnel.\n\u2022 The CD\u2019s website is on the UN Geneva\u2019s website: www.unog.ch/cd.\n\u2022 The emails for the CD are UN email addresses: cd@unog.ch and cd@un.org.\n\u2022 The CD\u2019s Twitter handle is: @UNODAGENEVA.\nSo while it is true that officially the CD is not a UN body, in every practical sense it is; saying otherwise is a distiction without a difference.\nHas the UN chief spoken out on Syria\u2019s presidency?\nOnly slightly. UN chief Antonio Guterres, speaking on disarmament last week in Geneva, expressed the hope that Syria\u2019s presidency won\u2019t have a \u201cnegative impact\u201d on the CD.\nDid any country try to stop Syria\u2019s presidency?\nYes, America\u2019s bid to block the Assad regime came in a meeting last week of the disarmament forum, after Syria vigorously defended its presidency and spoke of \u201cachieving the objectives of the Convention on Chemical Weapons.\u201d\nAmbassador Hussam Alaa slammed the UK, France, and the US for bombing Syria over chemical weapons attacks, and said that \u201cit is not the Syrian presidency that could harm this conference, but those who take the floor to justify aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law.\u201d\nU.S. representative Robert Wood called on Russia to ask Syria to \u201cstand down\u201d from the presidency.\nHe added in a tweet: \u201cMonday, May 28, will be one of the darkest days in the history of the Conference on Disarmament with Syria beginning its four-week presidency. The Damascus regime has neither the credibility nor moral authority to preside over the CD. The international community must not be silent.\u201d\nWhat powers will the Syrian ambassador have as president of the CD?\nUnder UN rules, the Syrian ambassador to the forum, Hussam Edin Aala, will help organize the work of the conference and assist in setting the agenda. Mr. Aala will exercise all functions of a presiding officer and represent the body in its relations with states, the General Assembly and other organs of the United Nations, and with other international organizations.\nIn the past, has any country absented itself in response to a rogue presidency?\nYes, the U.S. and Canada pulled out while Iran was chair in 2013, and should do so again this month.\nIs it true that UN Chief Guterres is unable to respond on this matter?\nThe UN secretary-general said the post is merely the result of an automatic rotation, and that the matter can only be addressed by member states.\nYet actions taken by other high UN officials prove that he can speak out. When Syria was elected to a UNESCO human rights committee in 2013, the head of that UN body went on record to say that the election was wrong. \u201cGiven the developments in Syria, the director-general does not see how this country can contribute to the work of the committees.\u201d\nPast precedent shows that UN officials can act as the world\u2019s moral voice when a UN committee makes obscene decisions which only cast a shadow on the reputation of the UN as a whole.\nUN Watch predicted that Syrian propaganda would exploit this as a propaganda victory. Have they?\nYes, the official propaganda channels of Syria, Iran and Hezbollah have hailed the position as a victory. Therefore, it is vital that democracies counter that message with vigorous protest.\nWhat\u2019s wrong with Syria heading a body dealing with nuclear or chemical weapons disarmament?\nA country that was reported to the UN Security Council by the International Atomic Energy Agency for its covert construction of a nuclear reactor and found in breach of the Nonproliferation Treaty, should be barred from any formal positions in UN bodies dealing with the such vital matters as biological, chemical and nuclear weapons disarmament.\nSyria\u2019s recent and continuous use of deadly chemical weapons and its illegal pursuit of nuclear weapons, in breach of its disarmament obligations, run counter to the objectives and fundamental principles of the Conference on Disarmament itself. Syria\u2019s chairmanship will only undermine the integrity of both the disarmament framework and of the United Nations, and no country should support that.\nWhich treaties has the Conference of Disarmament produced?\nThe conference and its predecessors have negotiated major multilateral arms limitation and disarmament agreements, including:\n\u2022 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons\n\u2022 Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction\n\u2022 Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction\n\u2022 Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques\n\u2022 Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty",

        "raw_content": "SportAccord World Mind Games Japanese Player Profiles\nThirty players (18 men and 12 women) from around the world \u2014 China, Chinese Taipei, Europe, Japan, Korea and North America \u2014 will compete for major cash prizes in this year\u2019s SportAccord World Mind Games, coming up December 12-18 in Beijing. Here are Michael Redmond\u2019s 9P\u2019s introduction and brief biographical sketches of the Japanese players. Redmond and EJ Managing Editor Chris Garlock will be providing play-by-play game commentary on the SAWMG YouTube channel as well as coverage in the EJ. click here to see the player roster and schedule.\nby Michael Redmond 9P\nOverall, it is clear that Japan has decided to give younger players a chance this year. Unfortunately, star players from the same age group such as Murakawa Daisuke and Ichiriki Ryo are missing, I would have liked to see them in this tournament. Murakawa was the B league winner of the Kisei league and recently he lost to Yamashita Keigo in the playoff to decide the challenger. In the league he bested top players such as Takao Shinji, Hane Naoki, and Kono Rin. I suppose that the Kisei tournament, among other things, posed a potential schedule issue for him this time. Ichiriki is a formidable 16 year old player, he seems to be winning all the time. Two weeks ago he lost to Ko Iso in the final to enter the Meijin league, his only loss in the recent past that I can remember. I would guess he has some other schedule issues. As to the women, judging from domestic tournaments I would have expected to see Xie Imin, Mukai Chiaki, or Okuda Aya, but actually I have a feeling that Yoshida might have a better track record in international tournaments.\nRina Fujisawa 2P: Born in 1998, at the age of 11 years and 6 months, she became the youngest player to become pro in Japan, breaking Cho Chikun\u2019s record of 11 and 9 months. She began playing as a pro in April 2010, and caused some comment by beating a 9-dan in June of the same year. Rina is the granddaughter of Fujisawa Shuko, and her father is Fujisawa Kazunari 8P. She has an intuitive and aggressive style.\nAkihiro Fujita 4P: Born in 1991, Akihiro became a pro in 2006. Won the 38th Shinjin-O (New Kings) tournament in 2013, and in 2010 came one win away from entering the Honinbo league, losing to Yamashiro 9p in the final round. He is considered to be one of the most promising young players in Japan.\nTomoya Hirata 3P: Born in 1994, became pro in 2009. Plays an aggressive style. In June this year I played him and published a commentary in the EJ on the game, which I lost by a mistake in late middlegame.\nKazushi Tsuruta 2P: Born in 1995, became pro in 2010. In 2011 he won into the Gosei Honsen.\nMika Yoshida 8P: Born in 1971, became pro in 1986. Won several Women\u2019s titles from 1992 to 2005. Plays a well-balanced style.\nCategories: Japan,SportAccord World Mind Games,World",

        "title": "Future of cryptocurrency: What lies ahead for Bitcoin and its alternatives | Verdict",
        "raw_content": "Business Editor's Pick Money matters\nBitcoin, Ethereum, ZCash, Dash, Ripple, LiteCoin. By now you\u2019ve heard of one of these decentralised, peer-to-peer networks for independent financial transactions, known as cryptocurrencies. On 18 June, the European Union\u2019s Blockchain Observatory will host its first \u2018Ask Me Anything\u2019 session on cryptocurrency, signaling the peaked interest in the technology.\nFuture of cryptocurrency: The rise of Bitcoin (and altcoins)\nThe initial price of Bitcoin was set at less than $0.01 in 2010. It peaked on 16 December 2017 at $19,343.04 but has since fallen to $6,877.86 as of 11 June this year.\nDespite this, cryptocurrency remains an incredibly large economy, and at its peak, the bitcoin model inspired a wave of new cryptocurrencies, or \u2018altcoins\u2019. Recently, Real Madrid FC footballer James Rodriguez launched his own cryptocurrency, aptly named the JR10 Token.\nThe market cap for Bitcoin stands at $117.54m. Its closest rival, Ethereum, enjoys a considerable market cap of $53.87m. See the latest data for the largest 13 cryptocurrencies from CoinMarketCap below:\nHowever, digital currency exchange Luno CEO and founder Marcus Swanepoel shares his opinion on the future of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin in particular.\nHe tells Verdict: \u201cFor a start, most altcoins are not intended to have the same use as Bitcoin. Ethereum, for example, serves a different purpose and wasn\u2019t designed to be a currency (although it has come to be used for that.) Many altcoins represent a new technology or platform. As the name suggests, they are alternatives, not replacements.\n\u201cLuno believes that it\u2019s highly likely that one digital currency \u2013 most likely Bitcoin \u2013 will continue to play a dominant role, because of its properties as a store of value and the network effects it has shown so far.\u201d\nFuture of cryptocurrency: The cost of crypto\nThere are a number of challenges to the future of cryptocurrency. These include current regulatory barriers, cybersecurity, and energy consumption, as well as the difficulty in converting cryptocurrency into spendable money.\nCryptocurrency exchange CoinMetro CEO Kevin Murcko tells Verdict: \u201cThere\u2019s both technical and regulatory barriers that slow \u2013 and in some cases, prevent \u2013 the fiat to crypto and crypto to fiat conversion process.\n\u201cHowever, this state of affairs is changing rapidly; nations are already in the process of developing sensible legislation, exchanges are beginning to secure regulatory approval, and even Wall Street is beginning to facilitate cryptocurrency trading for clients. Before long, we\u2019ll see those barriers completely crumble.\u201d\nAnother challenge is the huge consumption of energy that is required to power cryptocurrency \u2018mining\u2019, as well as its susceptibility to cyber attacks.\nBarry Shteiman, vice-president of research and innovation at Exabeam, tells Verdict: \u201cAt a time when cryptocurrency fever is taking off globally, it\u2019s easy to forget the hundreds of thousands of crypto-specialised computers and servers \u2018mining\u2019 these currencies into circulation. Cryptocurrency uses as much CO2 per year as one million transatlantic flights. Many believe we should take it seriously as a potential climate threat. In November of 2017, the power consumed by the entire bitcoin network was claimed to be higher than that of the Republic of Ireland.\n\u201cLess obvious is the hidden threat to businesses, which is something business leaders should bear in mind for the future of this technology. Malicious actors \u2013looking to offset this massive energy consumption \u2013 are now targeting corporate networks, often seeking to hijack an entire connected infrastructure to develop a distributed crypto-mining operation. In fact, we see a range of hacking toolkits adding mining modules today to maximise on their malicious business efforts.\u201d\nCyxtera director of cybersecurity and threat analytics Aaron McKee adds: \u201cCryptocurrency mining relies on the computational power of the system used to create the currency and process the transactions. Many are realising that the computational power, which requires a huge investment, is at a premium with the result that on-premise and cloud-based resources are being targeted by hackers, who will look for the weakest link to install and propagate their mining software to steal computational power to mine for coins, and they don\u2019t care who they hurt in the process.\n\u201cEach unauthorised crypto-mining exploit can result in a loss of productivity, network bandwidth degradation and even have a negative impact on operational costs. Another, often overlooked, aspect of crypto-mining is the enormous impact to infrastructure resources they consume. Power, cooling, and hardware over-utilisation costs must also be factored into damage calculations.\u201d\nFuture of cryptocurrency: Will cryptocurrency replace national currency?\nDespite these negative aspects, there is still great potential for cryptocurrencies to flourish, and murmurs are already being heard of its potential to replace national currencies one day. This is the opinion of Google\u2019s top-rated futurist Thomas Frey, who predicted that, by 2030, cryptocurrency will have a significant impact as a medium of exchange.\nHe said: \u201cCryptocurrencies are going to displace roughly 25% of national currencies by 2030. They\u2019re just much more efficient, the way they run.\u201d\nInstitute for Global Futures CEO and chairman Dr James Canton said that the surge in popularity of cryptocurrencies represents \u201cthe legitimisation of a new asset class emerging alongside the traditional global economy\u201d.\n\u201cI\u2019d say you can expect an exponential increase of new investment vehicles to come from crypto-finance,\u201d he added.\nOthers were more cautious regarding the future of cryptocurrency.\nMurko tells Verdict: \u201cBitcoin might not replace all of the existing systems, but it adds a new layer of value \u2013 similar to how we still have regular postal mail and fixed-line telephones even though we have Facebook, Skype, and Gmail. The impact has already proven to be significant.\n\u201cOther currencies will probably play a different, more focused role and people may use Bitcoin to store or switch between these other currencies. Something like a global reserve digital currency, not unlike the US dollar in the current financial system.\u201d\nSome altcoin developers are also aiming to use cryptocurrency to incentivise positive choices by users, especially regarding the environment.\nEnergi Mine CEO and co-founder Omar Rahim said: \u201cThere is very little attention paid to the concept of using cryptocurrencies in an environmentally positive way. Instead of thinking about personal gain, we should instead focus the narrative on how they can be used for the good of society. A cryptocurrency-based tokenised reward system would allow for rewarding people for positive behaviour in a way that could create long-term positive change.\n\u201cEnergi Mine is currently using this idea to incentivise people to make environmentally friendly choices, giving people a tangible financial reward in the form of Energi Tokens (ETK) for positive changes in behaviour. In this way, cryptocurrencies can have a positive environmental impact rather than a wholly destructive one.\u201d\nSequant Capital CEO George Zarya tells Verdict: \u201cCryptocurrency is likely to become more institutionalised as the years progress. Despite launching onto the investment scene with much fanfare, it is important to remember that it is still young and needs to mature in the market. A more mature market will lead to increased investment from professional investors such as hedge funds, further legitimising cryptocurrency in the financial sector. This will naturally lead to tighter regulation and controls to protect investments and legitimise businesses that work in the sector.\n\u201cAs time goes on, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin will be viewed less as a means of payment and more as an asset class. And introduction of stable coins will popularise cryptocurrencies as a payment method. In short, the future will bring increased controls and reliability to the asset, allowing individuals and groups to invest and bank with security and ease.\u201d\nBusinessEditor's PickMoney mattersNews\nVenezuela currency: Cryptocurrency and sovereign bolivar efforts \u201cjust won\u2019t work\u201d",

        "raw_content": "What is a Collaborative Law agreement?\nby VBMMP / June 11, 2015 / Collaborative Law\nMany Texas couples who are going through divorce have a list of options in front of them and may have a difficult time deciding on which option to choose. In many cases, court proceedings are lengthy and expensive. Another option in addition to litigation in court, such as a collaborative divorce, may be beneficial to the divorcing couple because it can help them come to an amicable agreement.\nSince Collaborative Law procedures demand that the spouses, along with their attorneys, agree to draft a written Collaborative Law agreement prior to initiating the procedure, it is one of the preferred methods of divorce.\nA Collaborative Law agreement is based on good faith when it comes to dealing with the various issues relating to the divorce. The divorcing spouses and their attorneys also agree to suspend any court intervention during the Collaborative Law process. In such cases, necessary counseling is available if it is needed, as long as both spouses consent.\nHowever, it should be noted that in the event that either or both spouses express their desire to withdraw their attorneys from the Collaborative Law process, the divorce settlement will not be concluded in that manner.\nAny settlement that is reached during the Collaborative Law process should be considered a legal settlement by the attorneys after it meets certain criteria according to Texas law. The agreed-upon settlement, which has been reached after discussions and other formalities according to the process, cannot be revoked by either party at any point. The settlement will be binding for both spouses. The Collaborative Law agreement must not only be signed by the divorcing spouses but also by their attorneys in order for the agreement to be formally and legally binding.\nSource: American Bar Association, \u201cCollaborative law,\u201d June 7, 2007\nPrevious Post: \u00ab Texas mother fights for custody of her child\nNext Post: Tracking down the father to obtain financial support for a child \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Ballarat shire (1863-1994) was a municipality of 482 sq km north-west of Ballarat. It included the Ballarat suburbs of Alfredton and Wendouree which constituted over 80% of its population. The population's concentration caused the shire offices to be transferred from the traditional centre of Learmonth to Wendouree in 1964.\nBallarat shire had limited gold mining and instead developed several large pastoral runs and numerous agricultural holdings. Learmonth and Burrumbeet were the main townships. The shire was proclaimed on 24 November 1863. Its council had unusual stability, with second and third generation councillors serving continued terms of 50 years or more. One councillor had nearly 60 years in office, serving as shire president on five occasions. The shire's population stood at about 4200 persons in 1900 and barely wavered from that until the early 1950s when the urban/industrial growth began on its eastern fringe. In 1946 the shire was described in the Australian blue book:\nSheep for wool and fat lambs were the shire's main livestock industry. In the 1960s there were about 7500 dairy cattle, but by 1994 the number was 1969. Meat cattle increased four-fold during 1960-94, to about 13,000. Sheep and lambs were steady at about 160,000. Potatoes were harvested in 1994, apporximating 12,500 tonnes. Together with potatoes from Bungaree and Creswick they supplied a large McCains vegetable processing factory at Wendouree West. In 1994 about 72% of the shire was farmland.\nOn 6 May 1994 Ballarat shire was united with Ballarat city, Sebastopol borough and parts of Bungaree, Buninyong and Grenville shires to form an enlarged Ballarat city.\nBallarat shire's census populations were:\nWeston Bate, Life after gold: twentieth century Ballarat, Melbourne University Press, 1993\nFirst in the State, Shire of Ballarat, 1988\nJames Mitchell, Progress in the Shire of Ballarat, the shire, c1972\nShire of Ballarat 1863-1963, the shire 1963\nAlfredton, Burrumbeet, Cardigan, Learmonth, Miners Rest, Wendouree, Wendouree West and Windermere entries\n<< Ballarat North >>\n<< Ballendella >>",

        "raw_content": "1. Feature Costs. Obviously the most important factor to consider is which features are offered in each. Most hosted providers don\u2019t offer the same features that are available in the premises-based solution. If critical business communications features like queues, IVRs and conferencing are missing (or cost extra) then it\u2019s difficult to make an apples-to-apples comparison.\nTip: Look for vendors with solutions that offer all features in their hosted phone system solutions.\n2. Upfront Costs. Cloud-hosted phone system solutions have a low upfront cost and are typically charged as a monthly per user fee. Using a phone system with an on-site server has a higher cost upfront and a maintenance cost. Above a certain threshold it becomes more cost effective to purchase your own equipment than to pay a monthly fee.\nTip: Hosted tends to be the most attractive for businesses with 5 to 25 employees. However, even larger businesses with 100 or more users may choose a hosted phone system due to other advantages.\n3. Total Cost of Ownership. A cloud-hosted phone solution can often have a very low total cost of ownership due to the savings in IT personnel. This is because hosted providers take care of server configuration and ongoing maintenance.\nTip: Consider the size and structure of your business which can help you decide on cloud-hosted phone system over premises-based phone system.\n4. Existing Infrastructure. Consider your current technology infrastructure. Are you using a legacy system to connect your phones to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)? Legacy connections like Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) can be expensive. You could see a cost savings in switching to a SIP trunk or by using a cloud-hosted phone service provider.\nTip: You can save money by replacing your legacy TDM connection with SIP trunks.\n5. Scalability. If going with a premises-based solution, you will likely want to purchase a larger appliance than is initially needed to accommodate future expansion. With a cloud based solution, new users can often be added to the phone system on an as-needed basis, and without having to worry about upgrading hardware.\nTip: Be sure to account for future growth when considering your options.\n6. Revertibility (Can you go back?). Regardless of whether your existing system is a premises-based or cloud solution, when considering a move to a new business phone system it is wise to ask if the transition is revertible.\nTip: A truly flexible solution allows you to move between on-premises to hosted to hybrid and back again, seamlessly and with a minimum of friction.\n7. Disaster Recovery. It is a necessity to have a thorough disaster recovery and contingency plan. If your main office becomes incapacitated does your phone system allow remote connectivity over mobile devices? A cloud-hosted phone system has the additional advantage of keeping you connected even if your office is out of commission.\nTip: Look for mobile integration. It can be a lifesaver during unexpected catastrophes.\n8. Security. Outsourcing your IT can bring with it serious security implications. Smaller businesses may find that a hosted provider does a better job of keeping data secure. This is because of the dedicated pool of resources the provider invests in keeping all of their clients\u2019 data safe. However, if your business must comply with security regulations that require data to be stored on-site then a hosted solution will not be a good fit.\nTip: Ensure that your vendor has resources to keep your data secure.\nPurchasing the right phone system is important for the success of your business. Determining which solution is right must involve multiple factors, including whether you are interested in a capital expenditure or the flexibility of a month-to-month expense. And that decision starts with understanding the differences between a cloud-hosted and premises-based VoIP solution.\nOnce you are able to weigh the pros and cons of on-site and cloud hosted solutions, and determine which features are most needed from each solution, you can then be confident that you are on your way to choosing a phone system that gives you the greatest return on investment.\nVox Connect provides business phone systems that deliver enterprise-class Unified Communications from our private cloud platform.",

        "raw_content": "Home Media Hub Articles Tony Gould's Technical Blog August 2016 Classification of Steel Sections\nClassification of Steel Sections\nFirst thing we do is take a comparison of the length of out outstands or the depth of internal sections and compare that to its thickness. In the case of a circular hollow section we are comparing the depth to the thickness of the circle. Once we have got that ratio we compare it and make sure it is less than a certain number of these epsilons. Now epsilons 4s235 is 1 and the value of epsilon reduces the higher the yield strength of the material is. The reason for that becomes clear when you start talking about plastic hinges forming. For now we will just take that as granted. If you have a very low ratio of depth over thickness or outstand over thickness then you're a plastic or a class 1 section. If you have a slightly less thickness or slightly larger diameter for instance you'll gradually step up this ladder from plastic to compact, semi compact to slender in British Standard Terms. In Eurocode speak it is Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Class 4 - not quite so exciting terminology there.\nSo let's talk about plastic hinges. A class 1 section, class 2 sections, class 3 and class 4 and the stress distributions at failure are slightly different each time. Now a Class 1 section, or plastic section, you can start bending that beam and you can bend it and it will form a hinge and you can keep bending it, and keep bending it, and keep bending it and that hinge will maintain a certain level of strength even as you continue to cause more rotation. If you can get to the end of the world with this rotation that's a plastic section, it will continue to remain plastic all the way around. Just short of that you've got a Class 2, you'd also use plastic properties with this. Now once you get to that point of yield and your stress distribution looks like that it will form a plastic hinge and it will allow itself to rotate but you've got a limited amount of rotation before that area buckles. This is why we are comparing thicknesses to lengths, it\u2019s all about the local buckling because what happens of a Class 3 section is that it can get to its elastic limit a perhaps it can get a little bit further.\nIf your section is just on the boundary between Class 2 and Class 3 you might be able to get quite a bit of plastic distribution somewhere between here and here. If you're right on the border between Class 3 and Class 4 you'll just barely be able to get to your full elastic distribution before you end up buckling something. So if you have a very thin, very long outstand flange, by the time you've got that stress at the top and bottom edge your flanges are wanting to buckle. If you've got a very tall, very slender web, by the time you have started bending it your web wants to collapse. Class 4 section, it tends to sit in a little world of its own. A Class 4 section is the underdog, it can't even make its full elastic distribution of stress before parts of it start buckling. It's my favourite type of section because you have to apply special rules to it extra special rules are always fun when you're doing design. I want to look at our Class 4 section which is our 1220 by 16mm SuperTube. On a steel prop you would normally get a lot of compression, you've got the earth of either side and it wants to compress that tube. The self weight of it also wants it to sag so you've got a little bit of bending. Bit of bending, bit of compression, you get stress distribution looking like this.\nNow over here I only talking about bending and the criteria are slightly different if you're talking about compression as they are to bending which makes sense if you're thinking about local buckling. So let's have a look at this area here. Under compression, anything that is not close to a junction or a joint in the \u2018I\u2019 section for instance, will potentially buckle. If you're right in this corner here you're in an area of strength. Anything that has two intersecting pieces of steel is unlikely to buckle.\nAs soon as you get out into this no mans land, on the very long slender web, that's the part that's going to buckle, that is the part that is not going to offer you the strength that you hope it will. Or you use this little channel section here as another example; at the corners you've probably got some strength and you won't be buckling, at these areas here where there is not so much stability, that's the area you're likely to buckle. When you're bending it's a different area because if you've got tension on one side and compression on the other you're pulling on a section you can't buckle something in tension so there is no point ignoring that area there in tension zone, that's not going to buckle as it's not in compression. That area that isn't going to buckle will probably help support the area next door to it that will. So you can understand why there is slightly different criteria on bending, slightly different criteria on compression, you wouldn't have any criteria if it was a tension member because you don't get tension buckling. Well you do but not in this case.\nSo what do we do with the Class 4 section? This is what a started talking about. You're using effective area so you don't consider the whole stress distribution over the whole area, what you say to yourself is \"Well which are the parts that are likely to buckle?\" If you look at, for instance, Eurocode 3 part 1 part 5, it gives you these instructions on plated structures and that is what determines these areas and how much of the steel you consider to be a loss cause. In the case of our Class 4 circular hollow sections, the very large tubes, we consider the area most in compression, this bit at the top - that the bit that we think will buckle first so if it is going to buckle, let\u2019s just write it off and pretend it isn't there. So what you end up is designing around a section that although it's a circular you actually treat it as this horseshoe shape. Now I've got a little note down here telling you to go have a look at Groundforce's technical note 7, it is a great little document explaining our ideas behind the Class 4 circular hollow section. It comes from a little bit of research from somebody else about elliptical hollow sections and it explains why we treat our sections the way that we do. An affected area, generally speaking, is an area times by a reduction factor and this explains what reduction factor we use and where we get that from. Same with your effective section modulus for bending. It's the section modulus, usually an elastic section modulus multiplied by a reduction factor. I have not really explained in detail but I really like you to have a look at this technical note 7 as that does go into a bit more detail. Hopefully you'll find something interesting and you'll learn a little bit about why we classify sections and why we use elastic or plastic section properties.\nIf you enjoyed listening to this or you learned something please like or subscribe and thank you very much for coming Back to the Drawing Board.",

He was a premiership winner with Cronulla last year and brings exceptional NRL and international experience.\u201d\nVodafone Warriors head coach Stephen Kearney said Beale would be invaluable for the club.\n\u201cGerard is professional in all he does and has a wonderful attitude,\u201d he said.\n\u201cThe way he has overcome adversity with injuries earlier in his career shows the sort of character he has. He\u2019s going to be a great addition to our squad with his ability to play in all the positions in the outside backs.\u201d\nHeading into the 2017 finals this weekend, Beale has played 161 NRL matches and scored 44 tries in a nine-season career which has seen him used at fullback, centre and on the wing.\nHe was 18 when he made his NRL debut for Brisbane in 2009, his only match that year, followed by 10 more appearances in 2010. He also played 31 matches for the Broncos in the NYC from 2008-2010.\nBrisbane-born Beale, who is of Maori heritage, played for the Junior Kangaroos in 2010 but switched allegiance and made the first of 10 Test appearances for the Kiwis in 2011.\nAfter 63 matches with the Broncos from 2009-2012, Beale spent the next two seasons with St George Illawarra \u2013 the first cut short by a season-ending knee injury \u2013 before linking with the Sharks in 2015.\nHe has appeared 70 times for Cronulla. In his 20 matches so far this year he has been used predominantly on the wing, scoring seven tries and averaging 11 runs and 109 metres a game.\nRep Honours: 10 Tests for Kiwis (2011-2016), Four Nations (2011, 2014, 2016)\nNRL Debut: Brisbane v Manly, Suncorp Stadium, May 10, 2009 (Round 9)\nNRL Career: 161 appearances (2009-2017):\nBrisbane: 63 appearances (2009-2012)\nSt George Illawarra: 29 appearances (2013-2014)\nCronulla: 69 appearances (2015-2017)\nNRL Points: 176 points (44 tries):\nBrisbane: 80 (20 tries)\nSt George Illawarra: 40 (10 tries)\nCronulla: 14 tries (56 tries)",

        "raw_content": "Elliott Erwitt (b. 1928) is one of the most influential and prestigious photographers working today, having a prolific career spanning nearly 70 years. As a news photographer, he seemed to be everywhere of political and social interest,\nphotographing segregation in the American South, Fidel Castro in Cuba during the early 1960s, Marilyn Monroe standing over the subway grate in the famous scene from The Seven Year Itch, and an anguished Jacqueline Kennedy clutching a folded flag at her husband's funeral. Perhaps Elliott is best known for his images of everyday life - a dogs eye view of a hat-wearing Chihuahua next to the legs of a towering Great Dane or his wife looking lovingly at their newborn in their New York apartment in 1953. Whatever Erwitt is photographing, his images illustrate a unique combination of charm, wit, and melancholy. \"If my pictures help some people to notice things in a certain way...perhaps to look at serious things not seriously and not serious things seriously, I would be pleased. In my photography I think everything is serious and everything is not serious.\"\nErwitt was born in Paris, France to Russian parents and spent his early years in Milan. He immigrated to New York in 1938 and moved to Los Angeles the following year. His interest in photography began as a teenager living in Hollywood, California. While a student at Hollywood High School, Erwitt began working in a darkroom developing celebrity portraiture. In 1948, Erwitt moved to New York where he met photographers Edward Steichen, Robert Capa, and Roy Stryker. As a young member of this elite photographic milieu, Erwitt's professional career blossomed.\nElliott Erwitt has participated in a variety of one-person exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world including: The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Smithsonian Institution; The Art Institute of Chicago; Zurich's Kunsthaus; and Cologne's Photokina. Over 70 books have been published on Erwitt's work, including Personal Exposure (Norton and Company, 1988), Snaps (Phaidon, 2001), Personal Best (TeNeus, 2006), Elliott Erwitt's Paris (TeNeus, 2010), Elliott Erwitt's KOLOR (TeNeus, 2013), and Regarding Women (TeNeus, 2014). In tandem with multiple terms as President of the Magnum Photo Agency, Erwitt continues to be one of the leading photographers of his generation.",

        "raw_content": "Texas Dog Leash Laws\nLeash laws were enacted years ago to prevent the spread of rabies and other diseases and dog bite attacks. While there is no statewide law in Texas requiring that dogs be on a leash at all times, Houston and many other cities in the state have enacted local laws requiring just that. This is especially important when dealing with dangerous dogs, or areas such as playgrounds where children are likely to be present. While the fear of the spread of diseases may have diminished, the occurance of dog bites has not. As a result, counties across Texas have maintained leash laws.\nWhat Are Houston's Leash Laws?\nHouston's Municipal Code is clear when it comes to dogs and leashes: Dogs are not allowed to be \"at large\" outside the direct physical control of their owners (i.e., unleashed). The only exceptions to this are when dogs are fenced in without access to public streets and sidewalks, or when they are in an authorized no-leash zone such as a dog park.\nIf a dog is unleashed in an area where it is required and the dog injures someone, the dog may be subject to being impounded, and the owner may be liable for any injuries caused by an attack.\nCall Today \u2014 Our Experienced Lawyers Are Here To Help\nIf you or a loved one has been attacked by an unleashed dog, speak with our experienced Texas lawyers to learn your options.

        "raw_content": "One-Way Space Man (1962)\nAuthor: David S. F. PortreeDavid S. F. Portree\nOne-way Space Man lunar outpost. Image: Bell Aerosystems Company/NASA.\nWhen the seven Mercury astronauts were presented to the world on 9 April 1959, it was expected that, before any reached for Earth orbit, each would fly a suborbital \"training\" flight. These short flights, launched on modified Redstone missiles, would subject the astronauts to preflight preparations, liftoff and acceleration, a brief period of weightlessness, fiery reentry and deceleration, and splashdown and recovery - in short, all of the stresses of an orbital mission. This was judged to be a prudent approach to preparing America's astronauts for the rigors of orbital spaceflight.\nCosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's launch into Earth orbit in the 10,420-pound Vostok 1 capsule three years later (12 April 1961) consigned this plan to the dustbin. On 5 May 1961, astronaut Alan Shepard flew a 303-mile-long, 116-mile-high suborbital hop lasting 15 minutes, 22 seconds in the 4,040-pound Mercury-Redstone 3/*Freedom 7 *spacecraft. The flight was widely compared with Gagarin's 108-minute single orbit and derided as proof that the Soviet Union remained far ahead of the United States in space - and that it was, perhaps, superior in other ways.\n071110-A-2013C-074 A paratrooper from 1st Battalion (Airborne), 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade, watches as an aircraft flies overhead while dropping supplies in Paktika Province, Afghanistan, Nov 9. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Micah E. Clare)\nYuri Gagarin (left) and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev greet Muscovites in Red Square two days after the Vostok 1 flight. Image: NASA.\nBefore a joint session of Congress on 25 May 1961, President John F. Kennedy called on NASA to land an American on the moon and return him safely to Earth before 1970. NASA tapped Apollo, previously planned as an Earth-orbital program with circumlunar potential, as its new lunar landing program. As for suborbital Mercury training flights, prudence went out the window. NASA flew only one more suborbital mission - Gus Grissom's Mercury-Redstone 4 flight (21 July 1961), which ended with the loss of the Liberty Bell 7 spacecraft during recovery - before terminating Mercury-Redstone to concentrate on Mercury-Atlas orbital flights. Two weeks after Grissom's 15-minute, 37-second flight, Gherman Titov orbited the Earth 17.5 times in 25 hours on board Vostok 2 (6-7 August 1961), adding to feelings of humiliation and desperation in the United States.\nBy the time John Glenn became the first American in orbit (20 February 1962), NASA and several advisory committees were debating how the U.S. should reach for the moon. At the same time, the U.S. civilian space agency began planning a program to bridge the gap between Mercury and Apollo. On 7 December 1961, NASA announced plans for a two-man \"Mercury Mark II\" spacecraft that would surpass Vostok's achievements beginning in 1963 and 1964. In January 1962, Mercury Mark II was renamed Gemini. The Gemini missions would expose astronauts to space conditions for up to two weeks (roughly the duration of a lunar mission) and give them spacewalk and orbital maneuvering practice.\nMany feared, however, that Gemini, like Mercury, would be upstaged. Though the Soviets remained cagey about their space plans, it was widely assumed that their apparent lead in powerful booster rockets would permit them to launch a man to the moon and return him to Earth in about 1965.\nAgainst this backdrop, John M. Cord, a Project Engineer in the Advanced Design Division at Bell Aerosystems Company, and Leonard M. Seale, a psychologist in charge of Bell's Human Factors Division, developed a plan for a desperate mission to put a man on the moon ahead of the Soviets. They unveiled their \"One-Way Manned Space Mission\" proposal in Los Angeles at the Institute of Aerospace Sciences (IAS) meeting in July 1962.\nSaturn I rocket, first flown in October 1961. Similar rockets might have launched the One-Way Space Man and his cargo landers to the moon. Image: NASA.\nCord and Seale explained that, since neither propellants for departing the moon nor parachutes and an Earth-atmosphere-reentry heatshield would be required, their new approach would slash lunar spacecraft mass. This would enable a rocket with between 450,000 and 1.1 million pounds of thrust to launch a one-man moon lander on a Direct-Ascent path to the moon. Such a rocket would, they estimated, be ready in the United States in 1964 or early 1965.\nThough they termed it \"one-way,\" Cord and Seale did not propose a suicide mission. They estimated that a rocket capable of launching a three-man Direct-Ascent Apollo mission to retrieve the One-Way Space Man - that is, a rocket with between 1.1 million and 3.5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff - would become available in the U.S. in the 1965-to-1967 period, between 18 and 24 months after his arrival on the moon. Nevertheless, the mission would be \"extremely hazardous.\" This was due to the fact that, after its boost phase - the period between Earth liftoff and injection onto an Earth-moon path - the astronaut would be unable to abort if some technical malfunction or unknown environmental danger threatened his life. If, on the other hand, the mission were a success, it would be \"significant both scientifically and politically.\"\nCord and Seale viewed their mission as part of a series of increasingly capable lunar missions. First would come automated lunar flyby and orbiter missions to assess radiation hazards and photograph the moon for terrain assessment. Automated Ranger spacecraft would then photograph selected small areas up close as they plummeted toward destructive impact. A slightly different Ranger design would hard-land sturdy instruments, such as seismometers, on the moon.\nNext, automated Surveyor soft landers would visit potential One-Way Space Man landing sites to return images and perform soil experiments so scientists could determine whether the One-Way Space Man would be able to land safely. Automated rovers would follow to gather detailed data on the One-Way Space Man landing site. A rover would also place a radio homing beacon at the site to guide the One-Way Space Man's crew lander and cargo landers to safe landings.\nThe One-Way Space Man mission would come next, then round-trip Apollo missions would begin. The first Apollo would, of course, set down near the One-Way Space Man's lunar base; one of the One-Way Space Man's tasks would be to select a safe site for the three-man Direct-Ascent Apollo lander that would take him home. The Apollo Program might then lead to a permanent lunar base - a goal made more attainable, Cord and Seale argued, by the One-Way Space Man's experience.\nOne-Way Space Man cargo lander. Image: Bell Aerosystems Company/NASA.\nWhile the flybys, orbiters, hard and soft landers, and rovers explored the moon, engineers would develop One-Way Space Man hardware. In addition to a suitable man-rated booster rocket \u2013 perhaps one resembling the Saturn I, which generated 1.5 million pounds of thrust in its eight H-1 first-stage engines \u2013 they would develop a \"minimum\" crew capsule, a cargo capsule, a retro stage with extendible \"alighting gear\" for soft-landing both capsule types, and a layout for the One-Way Space Man's lunar base.\nTesting would then begin. This would include Earth-orbital crew capsule tests bearing primates, much like those conducted ahead of the Mercury-Redstone and Mercury-Atlas manned flights. A boilerplate cargo lander fitted out with engineering sensors and telemetry transmitters would land on the moon, then four cargo landers would home in on the rover-emplaced homing beacon at the One-Way Space Man landing site. The four cargo flights would test systems common to the crew lander and would pre-land supplies and equipment the One-Way Space Man would use to build his base. Finally, the One-Way Space Man would depart Earth for the moon.\nCord and Seale's crew capsule would measure 10 feet across its base and about seven feet tall. It would provide 345 cubic feet of living volume for the One-Way Space Man. The capsule would have an empty mass of just 1,735 pounds - less than half that of Mercury - and a fully loaded mass of only 2,190 pounds. Its low mass was in large part attributable to its lack of an integral Earth-reentry heatshield - the heatshield would be discarded at the end of the boost phase along with other launch-abort systems. In addition to the 180-pound astronaut, the capsule would carry food and water for 12 days (90 pounds), breathing oxygen for 12 days plus an 18-day emergency supply (60 pounds), a space suit with rechargeable life-support backpack (90 pounds), tools and supplies (25 pounds), and health, first-aid, and safety gear (10 pounds).\nThe thin-skinned crew capsule would not provide adequate radiation protection during the One-Way Space Man's 2.5-day Earth-moon journey nor while he lived in it while setting up his lunar base. This was because providing adequate shielding would add so much mass to the capsule that it would scuttle the entire One-Way Space Man plan. Cord and Seale noted that the next period of high solar flare activity would not begin until 1967, by which time, if all went well, the One-Way Space Man would have returned to Earth; they admitted, however, that more than 25 flares had occurred during the three years prior to their Los Angeles talk.\nOne-Way Space Man crew lander. Image: Bell Aerosystems Company/NASA.\nImmediately upon landing, the One-Way Space Man would set to work establishing his base. His would be a race against time; in addition to the constant threat of a solar flare, his crew capsule's fuel cells could provide electricity for no more than 9.5 days by the time he landed.\nThe One-Way Space Man would exit his crew capsule through one of two hatches. The capsule would include no airlock; to exit or enter, the astronaut would need to depressurize or repressurize the entire capsule. The capsule atmosphere would consist of pure oxygen at a pressure of seven pounds per square inch.\nThe environment into which the One-Way Space Man would step would be extremely hazardous, Cord and Seale warned. In fact, they forecast lunar surface conditions more harsh than actually exist. They expected that the One-Way Space Man would find few level places and many sharp rocks. The irregular surface and knife-like rock shards would be especially hazardous during the One-Way Space Man's clumsy first days on the moon, when he would be unaccustomed to the low gravity (17% of Earth's), harsh sunlight (almost twice as bright as on Earth), and deep shadows of the lunar surface.\nMicrometeorite dust would cover portions of the surface to a depth of about a yard, Cord and Seale reported. The One-Way Space Man would stir up the dust with his feet as he moved. They told their audience that each disturbed dust grain would ricochet off the surface and stir up additional grains. Combined with dust kicked up by micrometeorite impacts, the astronaut would walk in a veritable dust storm that would at times obscure vision. Inevitably he would carry dust into his shelter; Cord and Seale anticipated that this would place strain on the air filtering system and might damage other systems.\nCord and Seale attempted to estimate how often the One-Way Space Man's space suit would be penetrated by micrometeorites. These would, they reported, travel at an average velocity of 40 kilometers per second. They found that a pressure suit made of sewn three-ply nylon would experience on average 1.3 punctures every four hours. Adding a suit-sealant layer would reduce the decompression danger, but would do nothing to protect the One-Way Space Man's body from the bullet-like impacts of the micrometeorites.\nOne-Way Space Man in flexible aluminum hard suit. Image: Bell Aerosystems Company/NASA.\nAdding a one-tenth-centimeter-thick woven aluminum layer would slash the average number of punctures to 0.007 per four-hour moonwalk and would attenuate impacts. It would, however, hamper movement. Cord and Seale recommended that the One-Way Space Man be fitted instead with a rigid aluminum suit with the joint flexibility of a nylon soft suit that would permit only 0.002 penetrations per four-hour moonwalk.\nDuring his first 9.5 days on the moon, the One-Way Space Man would unload the four cargo capsules, each of which would measure 10 feet wide and about 13 feet long. Each 2,190-pound cargo capsule would carry 910 pounds of supplies and equipment. Two capsules, equipped with a floor, pre-installed life support systems, and start-up supplies, would become his shelter. He would tip each onto its side, placing its floor parallel with the lunar surface, and remove its conical nosecone. He would then winch the two capsules together, forming a living space about 25 feet long.\nIf left unprotected, the One-Way Space Man's shelter would suffer on average 1.4 micrometeorite punctures per year. Cord and Seale noted that burying the shelter under \"lunar rubble\" would provide protection from micrometeorites and reduce its interior radiation level. Moving enough surface material to adequately bury the 25-foot-long, 10-foot-tall shelter would, however, be beyond the capabilities of a lone astronaut, so they suggested instead that the One-Way Space Man ward off meteorites by installing on his shelter's hull thin metal micrometeorite shields carried inside one of the cargo capsules. The shields, which would stand several inches off the hull, would break up and vaporize micrometeorites that struck them, blunting their impact on the shelter's hull.\nOne-Way Space Man shelter with Earth-pointing high-gain antenna. Note buried radiation shelter (left) and disused nosecone and common-design landing stage in the background. Image: Bell Aerosystems Company/NASA.\nFor radiation protection, Cord and Seale proposed a separate small radiation shelter that could be easily buried or moved to a \"void\" in a crater wall. They assumed that six feet of lunar rubble would be sufficient to protect the One-Way Space Man from solar flares. When detectors registered a sharp increase in radiation at the base site, the One-Way Space Man would hurry to the shelter to wait out the flare. As his range of operations increased, he would establish other small shelters at strategic locations around his base site.\nThe One-Way Space Man would bring along his own potentially hazardous radiation source: a nuclear reactor for generating electrical power. Unlike solar cells, the reactor could make electricity during the frigid two-week lunar night and, unlike fuel cells, it would not require expendables. The astronaut would move the reactor from one of the cargo landers to a small crater and, after running overhead cables back to the shelter and activating it, bury it to protect himself from its ionizing radiation.\nCord and Seale estimated that 13 cargo landers per year would be required to deliver life support supplies. Three more cargo landers would deliver parts for a multi-purpose rover and construction equipment, and one would deliver the nuclear reactor and radio equipment, including a large dish-shaped high-gain antenna. Three more would deliver \"utility\" payloads; these would include scientific gear. Establishing the shelter would need two cargo landers. In all, the One-Way Space Man would need 22 cargo landers during his first year on the moon.\nIn addition, he might occasionally need emergency supplies, such as medicines, at short notice. Cord and Seale suggested that a small booster with a special rough-landing cargo lander - perhaps derived from Ranger - be kept on standby.\nOn 11 July 1962, a few weeks after Cord and Seale presented their paper, NASA announced that it had selected the Lunar Orbit Rendezvous (LOR) mode for Apollo lunar missions. LOR would see an Apollo mothership with a lone astronaut on board remain in lunar orbit while two astronauts descended to the surface in a minimal \"bug\" lander. The bug became known first as the Lunar Excursion Module and later as the Lunar Module (LM). As already noted, Cord and Seale based the One-Way Space Man plan on the Direct-Ascent mode. They conceded that it could also include Earth-Orbit Rendezvous, another Apollo mode contender. They argued, however, that any form of rendezvous would complicate their mission plan unnecessarily.\nAlthough never seriously considered, Cord and Seale's proposal excited considerable interest. For example, it led off a 25 June 1962 news story on the Los Angeles IAS meeting in the pages of Missiles and Rockets magazine. Its headline read, \"One-Man, One-Way Moon Trip Urged.\" Cord and Seale, perhaps feeling the heat for proposing such a risky mission, took exception to the word \"urged\" - in a letter printed in the 30 July 1962 issue of the magazine under the title \"Morality and the Moon,\" they called their proposal \"inconsistent with our moral values.\" That did not stop them, however, from publishing a summary of their proposal in the publication Aerospace Engineering in December 1962. After that, technical discussion of the One-Way Space Man concept ended.\nThe concept remained intriguing to many, however. In 1964, novelist Hank Searls published a thriller called The Pilgrim Project based on Cord and Seale's plan. The novel had the flavor of alternate history even as it saw print.\nIn Searls' novel, the U.S. has fallen far behind the Soviet Union in the race to the moon. The Soviets have built an Earth-orbiting shipyard and have begun manned circumlunar flights while the U.S. struggles in Earth orbit to perfect rendezvous and docking using Apollo spacecraft. His book makes scant mention of Gemini, the program NASA used to develop rendezvous techniques, though Searls implies that more Mercury orbital flights took place than in our timeline.\nThe lone Project Pilgrim astronaut leaves for the moon in a modified Mercury capsule soon after the Soviets have launched a three-man one-way mission. His target is a pre-landed shelter called Chuckwagon. The shelter's radio homing beacon fails, forcing the Pilgrim astronaut to rely on visual sighting to find it on the lunar surface. Unlike Cord and Seale's One-Way Space Man, Searl's Pilgrim astronaut could swing around the moon and return to Earth if Chuckwagon or his capsule suffered a malfunction.\nThe Pilgrim astronaut spots an object on the lunar surface near Chuckwagon's expected position, so he ejects his heatshield and Earth-landing systems to reduce his spacecraft's mass for the retro maneuever. He lands successfully, exits the Mercury capsule, and moves cautiously over the stark alien surface toward the object he spotted from space. It turns out to be the Soviet lander, which has crashed in a crevasse, killing its occupants. One cosmonaut hangs out of the spacecraft hatch gripping a Soviet hammer-and-sickle flag; the Pilgrim astronaut places it with the Stars-and-Stripes in one of his suit pockets.\nThe modified Mercury is not designed to serve as a temporary shelter and the Pilgrim astronaut has only a limited supply of oxygen in his suit backpack. Having no idea where Chuckwagon is, he sets out at random after laying out the Soviet and American flags side by side. His unexpected exertions as he moves over the rugged surface soon cause him to overheat. Then, just as he is about to accept his fate, he notices a slowly blinking star on the horizon; it is the flashing locator beacon on top of Chuckwagon. The novel ends as the Pilgrim astronaut sets out toward his refuge.\nSearls' novel became the basis for the 1968 Robert Altman film Countdown. In the film, a Gemini capsule on an Apollo LM descent stage replaces the modified Mercury. The story is simplified, but closely follows the novel. According to space historian and NASA biomedical researcher John B. Charles, Altman filmed the launch of Gemini 11 (12-15 September 1966), the penultimate Gemini mission, so that it could represent the launch of the Pilgrim astronaut. A Gemini-Titan rocket was, of course, not powerful enough to put a Gemini and LM descent stage on a Direct-Ascent path to the moon. The Gemini 11 scenes do, however, constitute rare cinema-quality footage of a Gemini launch.\nAPOLLO 8 (AS-503) LUNAR MISSION SEQUENCE ORBITAL MISSION (REF: MSFC-68-IND 1200-96B)\nBy the end of the Gemini program in November 1966, the U.S. was well ahead of the Soviet Union in the race to the moon. For a time it appeared that the Apollo 1 fire (27 January 1967) might set back the U.S. space program and reignite the moon race; however, the Soviet space program suffered the Soyuz 1 disaster three months later (23-24 April 1967). The closest NASA came to a desperation mission in the moon race was Apollo 8, which orbited the moon 10 times on Christmas Eve 1968. The mission, intended originally to test the LM in high Earth orbit, was dispatched to the moon without an LM to head off the threat to hard-won U.S. prestige of a possible Soviet manned circumlunar flight.\nAt the end of their IAS paper and their Aerospace Engineering article, Cord and Seale explained that the One-Way Space Man concept could be applied throughout the Solar System. When next the concept of a one-way manned space mission was proposed, it was aimed at Mars, and it was envisioned as a truly one-way mission.\nAt the Case for Mars VI conference in July 1996, George William Herbert of Retro Aerospace proposed dispatching middle-aged scientists on a one-way journey to the Red Planet to cut costs and increase scientific payback. His scenario had the scientists living out their natural lives while exploring the planet to which they had dedicated their careers. Herbert's was a new kind of desperation mission. He and his fellow Mars enthusiasts were not desperate to beat another country to Mars; rather, they were desperate to see humans on Mars.\nThe one-way mission concept surfaced again in 2009, when Lawrence M. Krauss, Director of the Origins Initiative at Arizona State University, told The New York Times that \"To boldly go where no one has gone before does not require coming home again.\" He told the newspaper that a one-way approach would reduce the cost of piloted Mars exploration, and compared the journey to that of the Pilgrims. Science News picked up Krauss's statement, and the magazine's readers reacted. One noted that the Pilgrims traveled to a place where they knew that they could survive. One-way Mars explorers would have no such assurance. Another complained that Krauss's proposal illustrated \"the decline of moral reasoning.\"\nThe One-Way Manned Space Mission, IAS Paper No. 62-131, John M. Cord & Leonard M.

        "raw_content": "Why Amazon's $1B Twitch Buy Makes More Sense Than Its Fire Phone\nAmazon wants to own all your screens. That's why it sells Kindle tablets, the Fire phone, and the Fire TV set top box. And it's why the company just inked a nearly $1 billion deal to Twitch, a company that lets people broadcast their videogame play over the net.\nAs random as the Twitch buy may sound to the uninitiated, it makes at least as much sense\u2014and probably a lot more\u2014than Amazon building and selling its own phone. Apple and Google have already won the battle for the small screen. The same can be said for tablets, with the exception of the Kindle for e-reading. But the screen that gamers use\u2014the original TV\u2014is still contested territory. The battle for the living room is very much up for grabs. And that's where Twitch comes in.\nIn recent months, games have become an increasingly important part of Amazon's business. Beyond selling game titles on its site, Amazon has been staffing up its own game studio with A-list talent, and its Fire TV doubles as a game console. If Amazon then beefs up its roster with the world's top site for watching other people play videogames, it can become a formidable force in the gaming world.\nWhy does that matter to Amazon? As non-gamers must be constantly reminded, the gaming industry is bigger than Hollywood. Fans of games are often more passionately engaged than the biggest devotees of movies and TV, and they may well spend even more time sitting in front of the big screen. Twitch gives Amazon the power to command their attention even when they're not playing games themselves.\nApparently, Google saw the same opportunity. The deal with Amazon comes after what seemed to be a lengthy courtship between Twitch and Google, which is battling Amazon on every front to own a greater share of the world's screen time. But there are a few differences here. Google's play for Twitch would seem to have been an attempt to expand its ad business into yet another platform. For Amazon, the rationale is a little more complicated.\nAmazon does have an ad business, but it's a small sideline compared to its main role as a retailer. Recently, shareholders have punished the company amid claims that it's not focusing enough on this core function. It's hard to imagine that $970 million spent on game broadcasting will assuage that concern. But a captive audience is a great way to build a constituency of potential customers. However Amazon plans to leverage that attention, you have to own that attention first. And if you doubt the power of game-play videos to do that, you've never watched a little kid discover Minecraft clips on YouTube.\nTwitch has built an audience of 55 million viewers at last count, viewers who have turned top gamers into celebrities and video-game spectating into big business. And its reach is global. Owning Twitch puts Amazon in the living rooms of young people around the world, extending the reach it already enjoys through it's Prime Instant Video.\nAmazon may be far behind on mobile devices beyond the e-reader, but buying Twitch shows it's not willing to cede the screen that fits most naturally with its original business of selling media. Games are another way Amazon can cement its place in the living room before Google or Apple find a way to dominate the big screen too.",

You\u2019ll see how deep the pride for our schools, our community, where we have come from and where we are going runs.\nI hope you will join us at the homecoming tailgate (or Trojan Family Reunion) sponsored by the Whitmore Lake Wrestling Club, providing free hot dogs and refreshments before the game. Details can be found HERE. And if you missed the parade today, don\u2019t fear. We live-streamed it on our Facebook page, along with the pep assembly. (Our entire student body chanting \u201cI believe in Whitmore Lake\u201d lead by Coach Boron was a highlight for sure.) You can head HERE to check those out.\nIt is a great day to be a Trojan!\nTrojan Athletic Spotlight\nLast weekend our Equestrian team secured another District championship and a good looking trophy for their trophy case on Main Street at the High School. They finished 82 points ahead of the second place team. I would say that was a strong finish!\nThey head Regionals next weekend (September 29-October 1) at the Shiawassee County Fairgrounds in Corunna with their eyes on the ultimate prize: the state championship trophy. Having finished second place at last year\u2019s states, and all the hard work they put in over the summer, it is within their reach.\nHowever, taking the athletes and horses off-site for 3+ days can be very costly, and the team is looking for support. If you are interested in sponsoring the team, check out the information HERE. And you can continue to follow their season by joining their Facebook group, HERE.\nCongratulations to the riders and their coaches, and best of luck the rest of the season! #TrojanPride\nNew Student Movement\nIn an effort to increase school spirit, students are putting their social media muscles to work as part of their Trojan Sports Management course taught by Jen Taylor. Having created a new WL Student Section group coordinating themes, encouraging fellow Trojans to come out to support fellow Trojans as part of the TroZone and more. You can check out what they are about and join them in their efforts on Twitter, HERE.\nGive a Trojan Spaghetti and Marshmallows\u2026\nDuring the first week of school our Algebra II class, taught by Ms. Lindeman, participated in a STEM Challenge where they were given spaghetti, string, tape and a marshmallow. They had to use all (or some) of the material to create a tower with the marshmallow on top.\nAll our 5th and 6th graders took on the challenge this week with their own spin as part of the new Project Based Learning (PBL) Seminar class.\nThe 5th and 6th graders were broken into groups and had to similarly create a spaghetti tower but with 40 pieces of spaghetti and 20 marshmallows to create the tallest free-standing tour they could. The record was 45 centimeters.\nHowever, the overall goal of the activity, no matter the grade, is not necessarily to build the tallest and sturdiest structure but to build classroom community, strengthen their problem-solving and communication skills, and to learn the value of perseverance.",

        "raw_content": "House committee votes to reauthorize Perkins technical education act\nBy Karl D. Forth May 26, 2017 | 3:45 pm EDT\nWCA-ASE hands-on training.\nWASHINGTON -- The House Committee on Education and the Workforce unanimously approved Rep. Glenn Thompson\u2019s Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (H.R. 2353). The proposal, which would reauthorize the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, is largely identical to legislation the House passed in September 2016 by a vote of 405 to 5, according to a report by Rich Christianson, WMMA legislative liaison.\nAdvances in technology and the growth of a global economy have dramatically changed the kinds of jobs that are available, making high-quality education and skills development vital to competing in today\u2019s workplaces.\nIn recent years, Congress has enacted reforms to improve K-12 education and modernize the nation\u2019s workforce development system. However, more must be done to help all Americans access the education they need to earn a lifetime of success.\nSince 1984, the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act has provided federal support to state and local career and technical education, or CTE, programs. These programs offer students the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience necessary to compete for jobs in a broad range of fields, such as health care and technology.\nBecause federal law has not been updated in more than a decade, it no longer reflects the realities and challenges facing students and workers. Current policies restrict the ability of state leaders to invest federal resources in efforts that prioritize economic growth and local needs. This occurs at a time when critical industries have vacant jobs but not enough qualified workers to fill them.\nBuilding on recent reforms to K-12 education and the workforce development system, Reps. Glenn \u201cGT\u201d Thompson (R-Pa.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) introduced the Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act . The bipartisan legislation will help more Americans, especially young Americans, enter the workforce with the knowledge and skills they need to compete for good-paying, in-demand jobs in industries critical to the nation\u2019s economy.\nSoutheast Urban Wood Exchange invites businesses to be part of online directory\nCohen Architectural Woodworking names Nate Cohen CFO",

        "title": "Neil deGrasse Tyson Concurs: Catholicism Is the Science-Friendly Religion | Word on Fire",
        "raw_content": "Neil deGrasse Tyson Concurs: Catholicism Is the Science-Friendly Religion\nby Matthew BeckloFebruary 05, 2018\nOn a recent episode of The Late Show, host Stephen Colbert and frequent visitor Neil deGrasse Tyson joked about the astronomical insignificance of New Year\u2019s Day.\nBefore long, Tyson was talking about the role the Catholic Church played in creating the calendar as we know it. \u201cThe world\u2019s calendar is the Gregorian calendar after Pope Gregory,\u201d Tyson explains. \u201cPut that into place in 1582, because the previous Julian calendar was messing up in the year. It was off by ten days. And the pope said, \u2018We got to fix this\u2026\u2019 There\u2019s a Vatican Observatory to this day. At the time, before telescopes were invented, these Jesuit priests were put into the service of figuring out why the calendar was shifting in the year.\u201d\nColbert, known for his openness about his Catholic faith, then asks Tyson if it\u2019s true that a Catholic priest formulated the Big Bang Theory. \u201cYes,\u201d Tyson responds. \u201cGeorges Lema\u00eetre. Using Einstein\u2019s equations \u2026 he deduces that the history of the universe must\u2019ve started with a bang. So Catholics have been in there in multiple places.\u201d\nThis little exchange might have seemed uninteresting in another era, but not today. The rise in the new atheism and Biblical literalism have made it a commonplace that science and religion are in conflict, and young people are absorbing the idea as axiomatic. In her recent book iGen, about the least religious generation in U.S. history, Dr. Jean Twenge quotes one young person as saying: \u201cI knew from church that I couldn\u2019t believe in both science and God, so that was it. I didn\u2019t believe in God anymore.\u201d\nThat may be true in some churches, but not the Catholic Church\u2014and it\u2019s worth repeating just as often as the opportunity allows. In Catholicism, belief in science and God are compatible. In fact, Tyson and Colbert\u2019s conversation is a glaring reminder that many Catholic priests and believers have been leading scientists themselves. There are theological and historical reasons for this, but the bottom line is this: Catholicism is a science-friendly religion, and it\u2019s enshrined in the Catholic Catechism.\nEven at the peak of the new atheism and its mockery of all things religious in the 2000s, one man seemed to draw the respect and attention of people like Richard Dawkins and Bill Maher: Fr. George Coyne, a priest and astrophysicist who ran the Vatican Observatory outside of Tucson. His very existence was a challenge to the view that religion \u201cpoisons\u201d rational, scientific thinking. Like Drummond at the end of Inherit the Wind, who marched out of the courtroom with both the Bible and On the Origin of Species in his hands, Coyne represented an intriguing third option outside of the fray.\nThe new atheists have largely faded, and affable agnostics like Tyson have filled the vacuum. He may not be an unwavering fan of religion (the first episode of his TV series Comsos painted 16th-century Catholic clerics as anti-science), but he is committed first and foremost to advancing knowledge, not denigrating religion. This is a welcome turn of events, one that has resulted in more positive encounters like the one with Colbert.\nAnd they really only scratched the surface. Catholic scientists were not only behind the formation of the calendar and the formulation of the Big Bang Theory: they were behind groundbreaking discoveries about the size of the earth (Fr. Jean-F\u00e9lix Picard), pasteurization (Louis Pasteur), and genetics (Gregor Mendel). In fact, one of the first people to correctly explain rainbows was a 13th-century Dominican friar! There\u2019s Roger Bacon, Pascal, Descartes\u2014the list goes on and on. The Church\u2019s unfortunate treatment of Galileo (whether the actual events, or the mythical spin on the events lodged in our collective consciousness) was, at worst, a brief spat in a long and respectful friendship. And Copernicus and Galileo, let\u2019s not forget, were both Catholics themselves.\nAt the end of the interview Colbert asks what \u201cmystery\u201d of the universe keeps Tyson up at night. His response reveals a deep humility about the observable universe. In the future, dark energy will render the universe so large that all of the galaxies\u2014the source of \u201ceverything we know about the history of the universe\u201d\u2014will be \u201cripped\u201d from view. Then he wonders: was some previous chapter of the universe ripped away from us? \u201cHere we are touching the elephant, not knowing that in fact there\u2019s an elephant standing there. Or maybe there\u2019s the shadow of the elephant and the elephant has been moved. We don\u2019t know what we don\u2019t know.\u201d\nThe shadow side of the material universe\u2014past, present, and future\u2014is baffling indeed. But what we do know is this: when it comes to putting the tools of observation and the light of reason to good use, science has an ally in the Catholic Church.\nMatthew Becklo\nMatthew Becklo is a husband and father, cultural commentator, and the Content Manager for Bishop Robert Barron's Wo...\nScience, New Atheism, Reason, Creation, Catholic Church",

Swimming, on the other hand, is super technical, and requires constant work on stroke and efficiency.\"\nStockton had her own experience with swimming last year.\n\"I thought I was a good swimmer and I had a strong stroke, but I was always coming out of the water exhausted,\" said Stockton. \"I finally had my stroke analyzed and the guy was like, 'Oh my god, you need to start over.'\"\nStockton spent much of last January working on her stroke, which was often frustrating.\n\"There were many days I left the pool crying. I thought I'd never figure it out. But now I'm faster. The key to getting faster is getting more efficient. And the key to getting more efficient is learning how to swim correctly.\"\nBecause Stockton had to start from scratch, she began looking for programs that offered off-road triathlon basics from stroke analysis to running drills.\n\"I knew that road triathlon camps exist, but after looking far and wide, I couldn't find any off-road triathlon camps.\"\nSo Stockton and Little decided to start their own camp.\n\"We wanted something to tie it all together. Skills on the mountain bike, swim analysis, and how to get really fast running trails.\"\nNico Lebrun - 2005 XTERRA World Champ, coach at Organicoach, and technical director of XTERRA Europe - has run camps for his own athletes.\n\"Camps like this are always good,\" he said, \"Because you can teach a lot. Technical skills on the mountain bike are hard to teach a single athlete. But when you are in a group, you use other athletes to demonstrate and break into groups to practice. It's the same with trail running and swimming. Both benefit from video analysis, drills, and practice. When you have three days to dedicate to a certain skill, you can get so much accomplished.\"\nStockton's inaugural \"Off-Road Blast\" Camp will take place this April near Scottsdale, Arizona. The days will focus on technique, video analysis, and trying out new skills, while the evenings will include lectures on training, stretching, and diet.\n\"We chose the Phoenix area because it's warm enough to swim outside, and the trails there are great. We want to appeal to beginners who want to do their first XTERRA as well as experienced athletes who want black diamond trails. The Phoenix area has both.\"\nStockton plans to run her camp with the structure of a traditional triathlon camp but with an emphasis on the skills necessary for off-road racing. Even better, it will be designed to be fun.\n\"Remember what a blast camp was when we were kids?,\" asks Stockton. \"Whether you are new to the sport and don't know where to start or whether you are already good and you want to get better, camp is just pure fun.\"",

        "raw_content": "Is Filing For Bankruptcy In Massachusetts The Right Choice For You?\nIt is all too common for individuals and families to discover that their income no longer covers their bills. Whether due to a job layoff, divorce, illness or other unfortunate circumstance or just because expenses are rising faster than income, there is insufficient money to pay monthly expenses. This situation is only made worse when having to make payments on high credit card balances. Many people are struggling and looking for a way to get out from under their debt.\nAt some point, those in financial distress due to excessive debt or a pending foreclosure ask the question: \"Should I file for bankruptcy?\" For most people, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can provide debt relief within a few months. For those who do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will discharge debts within three to five years, usually requiring payment of only a fraction of the debt. Therefore, unless you see yourself getting out from under your debt in the near future, bankruptcy is a choice you should at least consider.\nFile Sooner Than Later\nIf you do decide that bankruptcy is the answer, filing sooner, rather than later, may end up saving the depletion of assets that occurs in a failed attempt to eliminate debt. In addition, ceasing the monthly payments on credit card debt, including those through credit consolidation agreements, will free up additional money each month that can then be put toward things that you and your family need.\nThe current bankruptcy laws can afford you the following opportunities:\nSave your home (and other real estate you own) from foreclosure\nSave your car from repossession\nEliminate debt and free up money to pay toward your living expenses\nStop harassing telephone calls and debt collection efforts from credit card companies and collection agencies\nIn short, the relief afforded through bankruptcy can bring you peace of mind and a return to a normal way of living, absent the fear, apprehension and stress brought on by excessive debt.\nWhether filing for bankruptcy is the right answer for you can be a relatively easy determination to make once you have all of the facts. For many, filing for bankruptcy is the only realistic option to return to a debt-free way of life.\nFree Consultation With An Experienced Bankruptcy Lawyer\nFor more information or to schedule a free initial consultation, please call the Law Offices of Ira C.

        "raw_content": "Home Health Tips Best Calming Essential Oils For Panic Attacks And Anxiety\nBest Calming Essential Oils For Panic Attacks And Anxiety\nEssential oils have been used throughout history due to their natural high content of organic compounds extracted from stem, leaves, flower and the root of the plant. They are in fact, the very essence of nature.\nPanic attacks are one type of anxiety disorder. Symptoms range from mild to severe and include \u2013 sweating, tingling sensations, rapid heart rate, hot flashes, shortness of breath, fear of dying, trembling, chills, dizziness, nausea, or a sense of terror.\nBy using the natural remedies for panic attacks and anxiety described below, you can treat the underlying root cause of these disorders and get lasting relief.\nHere are ten calming essential oil blends for anxiety and panic attacks:\nExtracted from the petals of the rose flowers, it is useful when the person goes through a period of intense suffering or suffers from panic attacks. In addition, it may be used for the relief of depression and menstrual symptoms. It is safe to use whether you are nursing or pregnant, have allergies, or even if you are extra sensitive to certain essential oils.\nLavender is recommended for any condition which has to do with relaxing your mental body since it has a calming effect. Lavender is also considered a nervous system restorative and helps with restlessness and anxiety, sleep, inner peace, panic attacks, and general nervous tension. You can rub a few drops of oil on the back of the neck for some instant calming.\n#3 Grapefruit\nWhen inhaled, it can help curb headaches, anxiety, hangovers, mental fatigue, restlessness, and depression. One reason is that grapefruit essential oil increases norepinephrine and epinephrine levels. Moreover, it is great to diffuse with other remedies, such as rose, because it sweetens and lightens up the blend.\n#4 Bergamot\nBergamot is used for a variety of disorders, particularly for reducing anxiety among people with mild depression, work-related stress, and even pain relief. According to some studies, bergamot reduces the body\u2019s stress hormone production. For optimal results, diffuse it into the air or apply one drop to your forehead to reduce anxiety levels.\n#5 Cedarwood\nCedarwood is believed to be life-giving due to its intense properties. More importantly, it is a remarkable sedative which has a calming and soothing effect on the mind relieving anxiety and tension. It may also relieve chronic rheumatism and painful arthritis.\n#6 Ylang-Ylang\nYlang-ylang scent restores equilibrium and confidence and can be used to treat anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Furthermore, it may calm heart nervous palpitations and agitation and is a potent sedative, that can help with insomnia. Additionally, it supports the health of your heart by enhancing the blood flow.\n#7 Frankincense\nFrankincense is highly prized by many eastern cultures for its capacity to reduce restlessness and to help calm the mind. To reduce anxiety, combine it with lavender and bergamot of equal parts. This combination equilibrates the mind and body, improves self-esteem and gives a profound sensation of calmness and comfort.\n#8 Vetiver\nA few studies have concluded that vetiver is an effective remedy for anxiety effects and is called the \u201coil of tranquility\u201d in many countries such as Sri Lanka and India. It also decreases hypersensitivity and jitteriness, is considered a nervous system tonic and is useful in shock and panic attacks. Furthermore, vetiver works by providing a revitalizing and tranquil effect to the mind and body, therefore reducing anxiety levels by helping you become more aware of yourself.\n11 Famous People With Agoraphobia (Paula Deen & Kim Basinger)\nThe smell of chamomile is pretty distinguishable from most other plants \u2013 it smells a little fruity or sweet at times. It is popular for improving inner harmony by decreasing worry, irritability, and anxiety. In addition, it\u2019s frequently used for stress-related skin conditions like eczema.\n#10 Geranium\nGeranium is one of the best remedies for calming and is used for anxiety and depression. Furthermore, geranium is an excellent nerve tonic and has a profound effect on emotions.\nHow these remedies are applied for anxiety management and reducing panic attacks:\nThe simplest and easiest method is inhaling straight from the bottle. Another method is to put a drop of oil on your hands and cup your hands over your nose.\nDiffusing, it is a potent method to get most of the benefits, particularly for the mind. Moreover, diffusing these natural remedies disperses the oils into the air filling the room with a wonderful and relaxing scent.\nApplying them directly to your skin can cause irritation, hence, is essential to dilute them (with a carrier oil) before applying them to your skin. A \u201ccarrier oil\u201d is used to dilute the potion and to protect the skin against direct contact .\nThis is another good way for relaxing and making the bath more therapeutic. Add to bath a few drops of it and stir just before entering the water.\nRecipe for panic attacks:\n3 drops ylang-ylang:\n5 drops lavender;\n2 drops frankincense.\nCombine all these into a small glass jar or bottle with a lid. They should be stored in dry, dark, cool places since their potency diminishes with exposure to heat, air, and light.\nOther natural remedies for anxiety relief:\nvalerian root \u2013 this is one of the most well-known herbal remedies for anxiety and stress. Nick-named \u201dnature\u2019s tranquilizer,\u201d valerian root is claimed to calm the nerves without the adverse effects of prescription medications.\nSt John\u2019s Wort \u2013 it may reduce anxiety, nervousness, and depression, due to the presence of hyperforin, hypericin, and flavonoids.\nGotu Kola \u2013 this Ayurvedic herb may lower your anxiety without the negative effects of drugs, plus, it is considered by many to be a true adaptogenic herb.\nAshwagandha \u2013 it is a popular adaptogenic herb in Ayurvedic medicine which is known to relieve anxiety and to protect the nervous system. Moreover, ashwagandha is effective in supporting people through panic attacks, depression, and phobia.\nPhysical exercise and relaxation methods, like yoga, meditation, tai chi are all natural remedies which can help lower anxiety levels.\nhttp://info.achs.edu/blog/\nhttps://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/mcat/social-sciences-practice/\nPrevious article10 Essential Oils For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome\nNext articleBest Essential Oils For High Cholesterol\nMello Yello vs Mountain Dew \u2013 Facts, Caffeine, Sugar, Side Effects",

        "raw_content": "Sanofi-Aventis Launches Hostile Takeover Bid For Genzyme\nThe French drug giant Sanofi-Aventis\u2019s quest to buy the struggling biotech Genzyme has officially turned ugly. This morning Sanofi (NYSE:SNY) went directly to the shareholders of Cambridge, MA-based Genzyme (NASDAQ:GENZ) with a tender offer of $69 per share, or $18.5 billion total, in a bid to seize control of the biotech company\u2019s lucrative business of making drugs for rare diseases, according to Sanofi.\nThe hostile offer follows Genzyme\u2019s statement in late August that its board of directors had unanimously rejected Sanofi\u2019s earlier offer to buy the company; that bid was also at $69 per share. In the August 30 statement, Genzyme chairman and CEO Henri Termeer said that Sanofi\u2019s offer undervalued Genzyme\u2019s pipeline of drugs such as alemtuzumab (Campath), which is a cancer drug in late-stage development as a treatment for multiple sclerosis. People close to Genzyme told Xconomy last month that Termeer, who has been CEO of Genzyme since 1985, has no desire to sell the company.\nIn a letter to Termeer today, Sanofi CEO Chris Viehbacher said that his company has been unsuccessful in its attempts to have productive discussions with Genzyme about a merger. A meeting between the two companies on September 20 went nowhere, according to the letter. \u201cGiven your unwillingness to engage in constructive discussions with us,\u201d Viehbacher said in the letter, \u201cwe had no choice but to commence a tender offer.\u201d\nRumors began to circulate in media reports in early July that Sanofi had its eyes on buying a U.S. biotech company, and Genzyme became an immediate candidate. The 29-year-old company, which had $4.5 billion in 2009 revenue, specializes in making biotech drugs for rare diseases such as Gaucher\u2019s and Fabry diseases. Yet the firm\u2019s been mired for the past year and a half in supply shortages of its top drugs, following the discovery of viral contamination at its Allston Landing plant in June 2009 and temporary closure of the facility. The manufacturing problems left an opening for billionaire investor Carl Icahn to take control of two seats on the Genzyme board in June. Sanofi\u2019s interest in buying Genzyme emerged in media reports in late July.\nThe price that Sanofi is willing to pay for Genzyme has been a subject of much speculation in the press and on Wall Street. Genzyme\u2019s stock was trading at $71 per share as of 10:03 am Eastern time today, up 12 cents on the day. So investors are betting that Sanofi will boost its offer to acquire Genzyme. However, Viehbacher has been vocal about his reluctance to increase its offer without any competing bids, of which there have been none so far. Genzyme\u2019s stock price has jumped about 38 percent from its $49.86 price on July 1, the day before speculation about Sanofi\u2019s interest in buying a U.S. biotech company appeared in media reports, according to Sanofi.",

        "title": "History of Caledon | Xplorio Caledon",
        "raw_content": "History of Caledon\nCaledon has a rich heritage indeed! A few centuries ago the Khoi-Khoi people were the first to discover the iron-rich hot springs on the slopes of the Swartberg, long before Europeans arrived in the Cape. Once the settlers began developing infrastructure in the Overberg though, these warm mineral springs became particularly renowned. In 1710, Ferdinand Appel even erected a building for visitors to stop in and enjoy the curative waters, many would travel from far and near to relax in the baths.\nSimilar to other springs around the country, these thermal pools are not related to volcanic activity and are free of any organic matter. Eventually a bath house was built in 1797 and a village called Swartberg sprang up around this attraction. It was later renamed Caledon in honour of the first British governor of the Cape (1806 - 1811) and 2nd Earl of Caledon, Du Pre Alexander (1777\u20131839).\nIn 1811, the farming community around these Swartberg slopes had grown substantially which warranted the building of a church and establishment of a drostdy (magistrate under Swellendam). By 1813, the first Dutch Reformed Church was consecrated.\nThe area saw a boom in commerce around the 1840s, largely due to the introduction of wool producing Merino sheep in the district. From a relatively poor grain-producing area, Caledon evolved into one of the most prosperous farming areas in the Overberg due to ever-expanding wool export opportunities. This is when remarkable growth was seen in the town with the number of households doubling in size by 1860.\nSamples of Caledon\u2019s thermal springs were submitted to the Chicago World Fair in 1893 and were awarded the first prize as one of the world\u2019s highest quality mineral waters. This resulted in even more visitors to this farming village and became a large part of Caledon\u2019s history. The influx of new people to the town also increased once the Cape Railway Line reached Caledon in 1902. Around 60 years later though, this line was eventually closed with the last train leaving for Cape Town from Caledon in July 1962.\nIn 1927, the historical Caledon Wild Flower Garden was established as part of the greater nature reserve of the Klein Swartberg Mountain. The renowned flower show happens here annually in spring (September) which exhibits an amazing array of fynbos from the area.\nToday, the village of Caledon is a district that is primarily agricultural and is still considered the capital of the extensive Overberg farming areas. Most activities include grain production with a fair amount of stock farming and of course wool production too. The best time to visit the area is in the spring when the rolling hills of yellow canola fields are in full bloom!",

Ten-year-old Charles Pinckney taps out a smooth, rolling intro. Then the bass player plucks some notes; the saxophonists, with the exception of Thompson, come in; and the guitarists contribute some restrained chording.\nThompson snaps his fingers to establish the beat, then almost immediately waves his hands to signal the band to stop.\n\u201cOne, two on the four, and\u2026.\u201d \u2013 he leads them in a sharp intake of breath. They run through Herbie Hancock\u2019s \u201cWatermelon Man\u201d a couple times before Thompson tells 9-year-old Tyler Montgomery, \u201cRemember, this is an electric piano, so you don\u2019t have to bang it so hard.\u201d\nThen they practice Miles Davis\u2019 \u201cAll Blues.\u201d Thompson perceives that the bass player is giving the drummer the wrong cues.\n\u201cStart it over,\u201d he says. \u201cIf you play it wrong, he gonna play it wrong at the festival. One, two, three, four, five, six\u2026.\u201d\nStan Montgomery sits in his office down the hall, listening to the music and keeping an eye on a closed-circuit television monitor trained on the caf\u00e9 downstairs. The commercial realtor, proprietor of the Summit Avenue gathering place and cofounder of the Triad Youth Jazz Society wears a look of quiet pride.\n\u201cOne of the things we teach is it\u2019s not all about music,\u201d he says. \u201cThey learn about music, they learn about jazz history, and they learn about leadership \u2013 how to speak, how to act, about good citizenship\u2026. These are Playstation, you-got-to-get-on-\u2019em kids, but when they get behind an instrument we don\u2019t know what happened. They\u2019ll play something totally different in the performance from what they played in rehearsal.\u201d\nMontgomery says his generation was at risk of letting his parents\u2019 music die. His father, a musician, worked long days and wasn\u2019t able to pass on all his knowledge before he died. Montgomery felt his generation was dropping the ball before he helped found the society less than a year ago.\n\u201cWe give them an alternative to this hard-core music,\u201d he says. \u201cMy son doesn\u2019t know a thing about hip hop. He knows about jazz. The program is open to anybody, but it\u2019s geared to African-American males. We\u2019re trying to link generations together.\u201d\nThompson calls a break, and the sound of footfall clatters from the hallway.\nPinckney, the 10-year-old drummer, pokes his head in the room, with 10-year-old Tyler Montgomery following close behind.\n\u201cDo we have any cookies?\u201d Pinckney asks.\n\u201cI don\u2019t think I have any cookies,\u201d the elder Montgomery replies in a soft voice. The two boys dart out, and the father calls out to them that he doesn\u2019t want them to disturb a business meeting downstairs in the caf\u00e9.\nThompson leans against the wooden rail of the landing at the top of an outside stairwell. While some of the other young musicians goof off, he retains a serious composure. He\u2019s mindful that the ensemble needs to get the kinks out tonight and tomorrow before a final rehearsal on Thursday for a weekend fundraising festival at the coffeehouse.\nThe 15-year-old Thompson, a freshman at Dudley High School, holds a respectable musical pedigree. His father plays Latin percussion. His mother and grandmother sang in church choirs. An aunt, Carolyn Wilson, sang with the late and legendary jazz saxophonist John Coltrane.\n\u201cPopular music wasn\u2019t really satisfying me,\u201d he says. \u201cI started reading the backs of the CDs and found out that the actual music was samples of music from the fifties and sixties.\u201d His intention, he says, has been \u201cnot so much to make the music as to understand the music from before my time.\u201d\nThen Thompson corrals the musicians back into the practice room. The keyboardist adjusts a microphone for the bass player as the bandleader decrees, \u201cNo doodling.\u201d One of the guitarists bites the strings of his guitar and levels it like a rifle. Then Thompson gets them focused on the business at hand, suggesting that they rehearse Herbie Hancock\u2019s \u201cCantaloupe Island.\u201d\n\u201cThe break is over,\u201d he says. \u201cWe need to get back in session. We need to prepare for this festival. And if anybody have a problem with that, let me know.\u201d",

Originally named Brent Doerner's Decibel, the band changed their name and members in 2009 and released this album independently.\nConsisting of Brent, twin brother Brian Doerner, Mike Uzelac and Shane Schedler, My Wicked Twin sounds a bit like Helix mixed with the popular UK band Thunder, which made a mark in North America back in the early 90s. The tune Maybe Love comes across as a long lost Thunder tune \u2013 dirty and sexy, while the majority of the album crunches ahead at a similar pace. The album feels like a strong indie release from the 70s and could have easily taken the place of most of the early Max Webster albums if they had been released at the same time.\nBecause of the years that the members have logged with their other bands, My Wicked Twin are easily classified as classic, but Decibel Music shouldn\u2019t be dismissed as just a classic rock piece. The songs are topical and written from a current perspective. It looks like The Doctor is in!\nThere are a couple fast paced shuffles on the album, Decibel City Hall, Get Your Game On and With A Slip Of The Tongue, that sound like they don\u2019t really fit on this album, but are most likely great live tunes that could have benefited from a bigger production budget. The whole album has a gritty feel to it, which may or may not have been on purpose, but it does make the sound original and raw.\nIt\u2019s great to see Brent and the gang doing their thing and I\u2019m looking forward to what the future will bring.\nTracks to listen to:\nThat Kind Of A Love\nPrevious articleCD Review: Tony Harnell And The Mercury Train \u2013 Round Trip\nNext articleCD Review: Trenchtown \u2013 Trenchtown",

        "title": "Shock Waves",
        "raw_content": "Shock Waves / Death Corps / Almost Human (1977) ***\u00bd\nYears and years ago, around the time when my family first purchased its first VCR, there was a little mom-and-pop video store in Bowie called Plus Video. Plus (or Metro, as it was later known) was always a good bet for obscure, unusual films, and because I was already a big fan of the obscure and unusual back in the mid-1980\u2019s, it was one of my favorite places to go looking for movies to rent. One of the first tapes I rented from Plus (I can no longer remember what the movie was) had a pair of trailers at the beginning, and both of them had me saying, \u201cMan\u2014 I\u2019ve got to see that!\u201d The first trailer was for Dominique is Dead, which I still haven\u2019t seen more than a decade and a half later. The second was for Shock Waves/Death Corps/Almost Human, and that movie I tracked down right fucking quick. (It was easy enough\u2014 Plus happened to have a copy.) All I could say after watching it was, \u201cWow.\u201d And though the current state of my taste demotes that to a qualified \u201cwow,\u201d the gist of my reaction remains the same. Most of the obvious positive things to say about Shock Waves sound suspiciously like damning with faint praise. You could call it \u201cthe best horror movie ever made in Florida,\u201d but, while true, that wouldn\u2019t exactly make a convincing case for why a person should want to see it. Ditto for saying it\u2019s \u201cthe best of the Nazi zombie movies.\u201d Even something like \u201cas good a first feature as anyone has ever made with so little money\u201d carries a distinct whiff of warning. No slight or warning should be inferred from any of those descriptions, however. Shock Waves is an extremely good film, in ways you'd never dare expect on the basis of its subject matter.\nAs we begin, three separate vacations have come together in what will prove to be an unfortunate conjunction. Rose (Brooke Adams, from the 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the 1971 version of Murders in the Rue Morgue), Chuck (Fred Buch), and argumentative married couple Norman (Jack Davidson) and Beverly (D. J. Sidney) are all out on a diving tour somewhere in the Caribbean aboard the hire-boat Bonaventure. Both the boat and its captain (John Carradine, of Billy the Kid vs. Dracula and The Wizard of Mars, looking as though he's about 8000 years old) have seen better days, and the vessel has broken down in a patch of sea above (though no one aboard knows this, of course) the wreck of a transoceanic freighter. All three members of the crew are busy just now trying to get the engine started again, while Rose goes for a swim in the surrounding ocean. Captain Ben and his mates, Keith (Luke Halpin, from Mako: The Jaws of Death and Island of the Lost) and Hobbs (Don Stout), have just finished up the repairs when something very strange happens. Some kind of weather anomaly makes the sky turn funny colors and knocks out both the radio and the compass aboard the little boat. There are some odd disturbances in the water, too. Neither the sailors nor their clients know quite what to make of it all, but it doesn\u2019t seem to threaten the craft and there isn\u2019t a hell of a lot Captain Ben and his men can do about it anyway.\nAlarmingly enough, though, the compass still hasn\u2019t righted itself by nightfall, meaning that the boat\u2019s crew will just have to keep sailing a steady course and hope that they\u2019re headed in the right direction. Late that night, Rose goes up on deck to talk to Keith, who is standing the overnight watch. Their chat is interrupted when a large ship, running with its lights off despite the impenetrable darkness, looms up off the port beam and just about runs the smaller craft down. Keith dodges the ship\u2019s prow, but the two vessels sideswipe each other, doing considerable damage to the Bonaventure\u2019s upperworks. As you might imagine, everybody aboard comes racing up to the deck to see just what in the hell is going on. Keith tells Ben about the blacked-out ship, but the captain doesn't believe him. The flare Ben shoots off a moment later shows that Keith was at least half-right, however. There\u2019s a freighter out in the water, alright, but it\u2019s in no condition to have rammed the Bonaventure under its own power. It\u2019s grounded on a coral reef just below the surface of the sea, and from the look of it, the ship has been stranded there for a long, long time. And on the subject of that reef, the Bonaventure happens to be hung up on it too.\nDaybreak reveals that the situation is at least a little better than it had appeared the night before, in that the submerged reef is only a few hundred yards from the shore of a small island. On the other hand, it also seems that Captain Ben has disappeared. When the captain doesn\u2019t turn up on or around the boat, Hobbs suggests that he might have gone to the island in search of help. With that in mind, he and Keith begin using the Bonaventure\u2019s tiny dinghy to ferry their passengers ashore. The last trip in turns up something that casts a new light on our heroes\u2019 predicament; Rose looks down at just the right time, and sees the captain\u2019s dead face staring up at her through the glass panel in the dinghy\u2019s bottom! Looks like Ben attempted to swim to shore, but wasn\u2019t strong enough to fight the powerful current that sweeps between the shoreline and the reef. While everyone else is trying to figure out what to do next, Chuck climbs up one of the palm trees to reconnoiter. Off in the distance, about in the center of the island, he sees the roof of some large building poking up above the trees. If there are buildings here, there may be people, and if there are people here, then the castaways have a chance of getting home soon after all.\nThose hopes appear to be dashed when the remaining six voyagers reach their destination. The building Chuck saw turns out to be a huge and luxurious hotel, but it also turns out to be a dilapidated ruin, not in much better shape than the wrecked freighter out on the reef. No sooner has Norman begun griping about how they've all wasted their time, however, than the unmistakable sound of classical music reaches their ears from another part of the hotel. Following the sound, the castaways find an old-fashioned Victrola-style turntable playing in a rubble-strewn ballroom. As the record player winds down, an oddly accented voice rings out, demanding to know who the intruders are and what they are doing at the hotel. (The voice belongs to Peter Cushing, who will mostly abandon his efforts to simulate a German accent after this initial utterance.) The unseen owner of voice the begins listening more intently to Keith\u2019s explanation when he mentions the derelict ship that seems to have been the initial cause of their trouble, and sharply asks the young sailor if he was able to make out the vessel\u2019s name. Keith says that he couldn\u2019t, beyond the fact that it began with a \u201cP.\u201d At that, Keith\u2019s interrogator suddenly comes out of hiding (and incidentally, Cushing looks even older and feebler than Carradine), races past his unwanted guests, and runs off toward the beach. You\u2019d think that ship hadn\u2019t been there before, or something.\nIn point of fact, it hadn\u2019t. And while Keith and the Hotel Hermit are talking, very bad things are happening within its shattered hull. A group of eight men with short, blond hair and ruined skin, wearing heavy, black goggles and what appears to be the uniform of Nazi Germany\u2019s Waffen SS, are getting up from the corners and crevices where they had lain to march along the seabed in the direction of the island. All the old recluse will tell Keith and his companions when he returns to the hotel is that they must all leave the island immediately; he says it would be best if they didn\u2019t know precisely why, but it is urgent that they flee at once\u2014 \u201cThere is danger in the water.\u201d No shit. The next morning (the condition of the Bonaventure obviously precludes the instantaneous escape recommended by the old man), Hobbs encounters one of the strange men from the ship, and is killed. The culprit and another of his kind are still in the area when Rose, Keith, and Norman find his corpse an hour or so later. Understandably reluctant to tangle with the waterlogged killers, and plausibly reasoning that the Hotel Hermit is somehow connected to them, the three castaways abandon Hobbs\u2019s body and go looking for some answers.\nThe story the hermit tells them is a bit more than they were prepared to hear. During the waning days of World War II, he says, Nazi Germany responded to the escalating danger of defeat by introducing a new kind of army\u2014 the Totenkorps, or \u201cDeath Corps.\u201d Through some mysterious combination of twisted science and occult power, the Waffen SS was able to recycle its dead into unstoppable\u2014 but also nearly uncontrollable\u2014 zombie soldiers. Individual units of the Totenkorps were surgically optimized for service in especially inhospitable environments\u2014 the brutal cold of the Eastern Front, or the scorching deserts of North Africa, for instance. The Hotel Hermit, as you\u2019ve probably figured out by now, was an SS officer himself, and he was placed in command of a Totenkorps unit designed to operate underwater. He and his \u201cmen\u201d shipped out just weeks before the fall of Berlin, and spent several months prowling the Atlantic, awaiting orders that never came. Eventually even a faithful SS man had to accept that the game was up, and the hermit boarded a lifeboat and scuttled his ship, sending its cargo of amphibious zombies to the bottom along with it. But for whatever reason\u2014 that weather anomaly the Bonaventure encountered the other day, perhaps?\u2014 the ship has somehow returned to the surface, and as our heroes have already seen, the zombie soldiers are back in business as well.\nYou\u2019d think a flick about Nazi zombies\u2014 aquatic Nazi zombies, no less\u2014 would be bombastically overwrought and more than a little stupid, too. And for the most part, such movies are. (Witness Zombie Lake, Oasis of the Zombies, and Joel Reed\u2019s Night of the Zombies [not to be confused with Bruno Mattei\u2019s Night of the Zombies] if you really require proof of this assertion.) But Shock Waves stunningly aims for eeriness and understatement, rather than shock and exploitation, and it hits the mark far more often than it misses. There is quite a bit of real suspense in the second half, and Ken Wiederhorn shows himself to be amazingly self-assured for a novice director. In many respects, Shock Waves can almost be seen as America\u2019s equivalent to Tombs of the Blind Dead. It makes similarly adept use of nightmarish atmosphere and eye-catching scenery to cover for an often illogical script, and like the Blind Dead series, Shock Waves offers a unique and memorable zombie mythos that makes a completely clean break both from Caribbean folklore and from the newer George Romero orthodoxy. Furthermore, though their character design of course differs drastically, the Death Corps resemble the Blind Dead in their uniformity of appearance, their implacably methodical demeanor, and their overall air of inscrutable otherworldliness. In fact, it is to a great extent the actors playing the zombies (and not the respected old geezers at the top of the bill, both of whom were far too expensive to be given much screen-time) who carry the film. And make no mistake, the men under the zombie makeup are actors, not extras. Despite their lack of dialogue or individual character names, these eight men put in riveting performances, particularly in light of the very difficult things they were all asked to do. (You try marching in synchronized formation underwater while wearing an SS uniform, zombie makeup, and opaque black goggles\u2014 and making sure never to let any air bubbles escape from your mouth or nose, at that!) The entire cast does an exceptional job all around, but it\u2019s the zombie guys who earn my highest respect.",

        "raw_content": "Trinidad and Tobago, Cerro del Aripo - 940m/3084ft\nTrinidad 10.729556, -61.243544\nTrinidad and Tobago was the third country of a multi-country high point adventure where I had already successfully stood on the highest point in Barbados and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines a few days earlier. I caught a pre-booked shuttle to my hotel to spend the rest of the day relaxing as I had an onward flight to Grenada at 22:00 the following evening so had planned for an early start allowing myself enough time to get to the trailhead in the mountains, climb through the jungle to the highest point of the country and then have time to spare to pick my spare gear up from the hotel before heading to the airport.\nAfter a relaxing evening and a good nights sleep, I headed early down to the reception desk to check out and ask them to keep some of my gear until this evening save carrying it to the high point. I looked on Uber on my phone as they have extensive coverage in Trinidad and from my research beforehand knew it would be a lot cheaper than a taxi. Unfortunately, there was nobody available as it was 07:00. I asked reception and all three of us tried but had no joy on any one of our phones. After 15 minutes of faffing another person who worked at the hotel came over after finishing his night shift and said the person who was taking him home is also an Uber driver and he would as her if she would be available. She agreed and I was happy with the price so I just had to wait for the man to be dropped home before she would return for me in 20 minutes and then drive me to Brasso Seco, where she would wait for 3 hours before driving me back to the hotel. Perfect!\nAfter waiting 30 minutes I started getting concerned in case she had changed her mind or thought it too much hassle. Thankfully after speaking to the receptionist who was able to contact her, she turned up after around an hour or so and we soon set off towards the mountains. The road became quite bumpy as we ascended through villages that became further and further apart before having to turn right on a track with a great many potholes causing our progress to become slow as we weaved around the large holes in the road. Upon reaching Brasso Seco the last village on the road. I got out of the car and told the driver that I would meet her back here in a very optimistic 3 hours for the journey back. She said she would wait there and have a look around the village in the meantime as it was too far and the road in too poor of a condition to head home and return on.\nThe trail started off well defined with possible 4 wheel drive tracks which petered off as it wound higher into the hillside. The canopy became more dense with the now familiar noises of the jungle being heard from all directions. I was aware that I was certainly already against the clock, It was very warm and humid with sweat already dripping off my chin but I needed to keep a fast pace to make sure I made it to the summit and back in time for the Uber driver. Otherwise, I could be stranded in Brasso Seco with no time to get back to the hotel to pick up my gear before the shuttle back to the airport for my flight to Grenada.\nI saw two local men ahead who were drinking from a small stream, they told me the trail ahead is not passable and pointed in another direction. They set off in that direction so I followed. I asked again but there English was poor but nodded and said Cerro Aripo while pointing up. I continued onwards but they soon took a separate trail where they were working and picking fruit from trees into baskets.. I had been referring to my GPS along the detour and from what I could see was there wasn\u2019t any obvious route from where I was in the direction of the summit so I decided as my original path was now about 1 km away and a few hundred meters higher than where I was I would just head in a straight line uphill until I reached it. The terrain was steep and weaved through lots of fruit-bearing trees which had wires interlaced between them, I couldn\u2019t see the ground due to vegetation so had to be cautious of not treading on or disturbing any of the more interesting creatures including snakes and spiders (Tarantulas) that reside in the jungle areas. This made the going more difficult, but I persisted before reaching the very overgrown trail marked on my GPS. The trail certainly doesn\u2019t have much footfall and completely overgrown but I was pleased to be back on my original track.\nI continued to ascend until reaching the ridge, From there I turned left and continued pushing through the dense vegetation. The terrain dropped 30m or 40m before climbing again adding time onto my ascent. The going was tough and I was already running behind schedule to get back for the driver. I Ascended several more times before finally reaching a small clearing and the small square survey block that signified the highest point of Trinidad and Tobago. I had made it, I took the usual photos and videos and headed a few hundred meters to another point that is of similar height as the official high point. I had less than 45 mins to get back and knowing how the terrain along the ridge was time-consuming I needed another option.\nI referred to my GPS and noticed a steep slope that should just about be possible to descend. I retraced my steps a short way along the ridge through the dense vegetation aiming for the point on the ridge where I could descend when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the top of my left arm. I looked and thee were two small dots close together that had started bleeding. Within a few seconds, the top of my arm felt tingly turning into a painful numbness that continued to spread down towards my wrist. I quickly sucked the bite to try and withdraw any poison and spat out the collected saliva. I can only assume I had been bitten by a spider that I hadn\u2019t noticed while moving the large leaves out of the way with my arms. The problem now was, I\u2019m still on the summit ridge with 30 minutes left until the time I told the driver and I needed to use both arms to swing and support my steep descent. The pain was bearable, but my arm was numb and not providing much help as I started my descent down through the steep slope. It turns out it\u2019s surprisingly difficult to slide down a slope with only one hand to grab onto the nearest tree and to then have to support yourself with it also. The descent seemed unending and my good arm was taking the full force of my weight over and over. By now It was already past the agreed time and I would be over an hour late at this rate. I looked again at my route and decided that from where I was it would be possible to reach a 4\u00d74 track that leads to the main road in the village. The downside is it would add on 2 km than if I headed straight down as I had been. But if I jogged the entire way once reaching the track I could make up quite a bit of time.\nI jogged until I reach the road I turned left and the driver was standing there talking to a man on the side of the road.. Fantastic! All that effort had been worth it. I walked over to her and said I would just need a few minutes to cool down and she said no problem and continued walking with the man. I sat on the side of the road took off my boots and socks and relaxed. A few minutes later two young women walked past and said hi and asked what I was doing there. I said I had just climbed the highest mountain in Trinidad and about my 100 country high points adventures. The one woman asked with a kind of puzzled look on her face, \u201cWhere are you from?\u201d I said, \u201cWolverhampton why?\u201d She said no way, I\u2019m from Wolverhampton.. There we were in a small village in the mountains of Trinidad and I bump into someone who lives in the same city as I do.. Weird! The woman had been there for several months studying the local ecosystem and recommended a few locally source goods I should try while in Trinidad.\nMy Uber driver return and I brought a few drinks from a local shop before setting off on the drive back to the hotel. She really enjoyed spending a few hours in Brasso Seco, She had never been before and had already planned a return trip over the coming weeks. I arrived back to the hotel and collected the rest of my gear and mentioned the bite on my arm to the receptionist who wasn\u2019t overly helpful really, so I just applied more antiseptic cream that I had brought with me. I had just enough spare time to clean the mud off my boots before catching the free shuttle to the airport for the 22:00 flight to Grenada.",

        "raw_content": "September 20, 2018 Sisco Blog 0\nHaving a salon business is one of the most important investments that you\u2019ll make in your life. If you are passionate about helping people with their hair and making them happy and feel more confident, then it\u2019s a great industry for you. Making your business succeed might not be that easy, but doing simple and small steps can help you grow your clientele.\nOne idea is to create a referral program for your customers. Lots of businesses these days do this technique. This gives your regular customers a benefit or reward by just bringing new people to your salon. The rewards doesn\u2019t need to be free, but could be a discount on your services, consultations, and many more. It\u2019s a win-win situation for both sides since it provides a new opportunity to get new customers and allows your patrons to enjoy the rewards.\nAnother step towards the success of your salon is to cater to wider clients. For example, instead of just catering to women, you can also offer packages for male or children of all ages. You could also provide children services, which could let your customers bring their child and end up having an additional customer for your shop.\nShowing everyone that you can provide services to clients of all ages and genders will also give them the chance to bring their whole family to your salon. It\u2019s the perfect opportunity to offer family packages or promos as well!\nAnother important key if you\u2019re looking to make your business grow is to get your customer\u2019s feedback. Always know what your customers want and need in terms of service or hair products to use. You might want to see kalistasalon.com, a good site to check out some hair product reviews, so you\u2019ll know which products would be great for your customers. You can try getting your clients\u2019 opinions by asking them after providing your services.\nHowever, there might be some that aren\u2019t comfortable with talking about their feedback. You can try providing feedback sheets or papers to get their honest comments or suggestions. By doing this, you will be able to know the areas that you and your team can improve on.\nGrowing a business is never going to be easy. Whether it\u2019s a salon or not, it\u2019s going to be a challenging journey for you. But as long as you are open to improvements and you are constantly striving for excellence, you have a great shot at being the best salon in town!",

        "title": "The importance of first impressions | 1to1 Advertising",
        "raw_content": "Posted on Thursday 21 September 2017 | No Comments\nToday I want to talk about the importance of first impressions. The topic sounds so general and basic but it surrounds every one of us, all the time and nearly everywhere we look. If at a meeting, a birthday party of your friend, a job interview or just simply at the train station in the morning. But what is \u2018a first impression\u2019?\nIf we ask Wikipedia they say: \u201cA first impression is the event when one person first encounters another person and forms a mental image of that person\u201d, so far, so good. But what is so special about this mysterious first impression? A fact is, that people form their opinion about someone in just a few seconds. The funny thing is, that you can\u2019t decide whether to have or how to form your first impression, it happens automatically. However, it\u2019s very important to be prepared whenever you want to create a good impression. For this, there are a few important steps. \u2018Clothes make the man\u2019 is one of these important rules. It\u2019s fundamental because people who see you for the first time don\u2019t have other evidence to judge you, it\u2019s all about your appearance at the current moment.\nTo speak about our business, the first impression you make is one of the most important elements. Obviously at appointment for a new rol when you walk in for the first time, but also if you become part of the team. Sales is all about the first impression. When you want to sell something to potential customers they will decide to buy or not to buy in just the first 30 seconds. So for our company, and in general for your business, the clothing is one of the most important things as I mentioned it earlier. We attach great importance on our employees being dressed pretty smart. Beside that, the other key things are more about the behaviour. You should act in a polite and enthusiastic way. Don\u2019t force people to buy, accept their decisions. If people start arguing, don\u2019t argue. These things are simple, but you have to follow them to succeed.\nAnother thing is the first impression we create when you first walk in. I remember the first time I came to the 1to1 office for my appointment. The person answering the buzzer was very friendly and polite and so my first impression was already positive even before I had seen anyone. I came upstairs and I was welcomed with a friendly handshake and a good dosage of small talk. I also got offered a drink and the atmosphere was relaxed. For me these things really helped me to calm down because I was obviously nervous for my appointment.\nIn general we really want people to feel comfortable in our office because we think happy and relaxed employees do a better job in contrary of you are stressed and feel uncomfortable.",

        "raw_content": "DJ MUSTARD'S UNSTOPPABLE JOURNEY FROM CLUB ROCKER TO POP SUPER-PRODUCER\nIt's Friday night and the corner of Rivington and Ludlow Streets in New York's Lower East Side is teeming with post-college kids in button-downs, micro-miniskirts and Greek life enthusiasm.\nThe line to get into the lounge at the trendy Hotel on Rivington increases by the minute, but unbeknownst to anyone inside, the man responsible for much of its music is next door at a nondescript Japanese restaurant.\n\"I always liked the club, so that was my main focus,\" DJ Mustard says. \"That's what meant the most to me and why my music is the way it is now.\"\nIn recent years, no one has defined the sound of hip-hop more than this man, Dijon McFarlane, the 24-year-old Los Angeles producer whose minimal, club-tailored beats have made him one of the genre's most in-demand producers. Stay at a party or turn on any hip-hop radio station for more than 15 minutes and you'll probably hear one of his tracks \u2013 or one that sounds just like them.\n\"His sound is genius,\" says Ebro Darden, morning show host on New York hip-hop radio station Hot 97. \"He uses already familiar ideas and sonics from Nineties club/dance/hip-hop but applies new hip-hop sensibilities. He's defined the current hit music sound to an extent. Almost every hit song either sounds like he did it, or he actually did it. He's unstoppable.\"\nBreaking out nationally with Tyga's 2011 hit \"Rack City,\" Mustard has built his career on handclaps, finger snaps and simple synth lines that draw equally from the manic shouts of Lil Jon and the G-funk of Dr. Dre.\nEn route from the restaurant to the 1,500-capacity Webster Hall \u2014 where Mustard will perform later that night \u2014 the producer boils down his style to two words: \"simple and unique.\"\n\"There's not too much to it,\" he adds when pressed. \"I'm big on simplicity. I'm not too much on all the extra instruments.\" This simplicity can be heard on everything from 2 Chainz' \"I'm Different\" and YG's \"My Nigga\" to Kid Ink's \"Show Me\" and Trey Songz' \"Na Na\" to Mustard's recently released debut solo album 10 Summers.\nGrowing up in the \"family business of DJing,\" an 11-year-old Mustard would join his cousin, brother and uncle to watch his family DJ various parties. When his uncle was forced to miss a gig, Mustard filled in, spinning funk and soul classics like Frankie Beverly and Maze's \"Before I Let Go.\" \"It was an accident,\" recalls the producer-DJ. \"He had to go home and was like, 'Yo, I want you to play songs that you think that they might like while I go to the house.' Afterwards, the person who hired us goes, 'Your nephew is really talented' and called my mom to tell her how amazing I was.\"\nSweet 16s and house parties would follow, with Mustard picking up all the gigs his uncle was too busy to take himself. When his friend, rapper YG, needed some beats, Mustard learned the MPC at age 18 while \"basically living\" with the rapper, who had a studio in his apartment. Underground hits like \"I'm Good\" and \"Bitches Ain't Shit\" would follow, and by the time \"Rack City\" was released in December of 2011, Mustard abandoned his initial dream of being a DJ Drama-esque mixtape king.\n\"When I got my first check from 'Rack City,' I was like, 'Damn, I can make this much money making beats?'\" says the producer. \"When you accomplish getting that money that you was hoping for, though, it became as much about the craft of it and going back into hobby mode. But the first time I heard myself on the radio was 'Rack City,' and we were dancing in the streets.\"\nArmed with a MPC 2500 and music production programs Fruity Loops and Reason, Mustard enlisted Rick Ross, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, YG, Young Jeezy and Ty Dolla $ign for 10 Summers, an album that channels Mustard's love for dark music into club-friendly tracks.\nThe synth lines to songs like \"No Reason\" (\"Some hood shit\") and \"Giuseppee\" (intended for a Kanye West verse but \"he was kinda busy\") could double as the soundtrack for a Dario Argento horror flick. \"Dark music always works in a club,\" says Mustard, wiping his eyes just below his \"10 Summers\" face tattoo. \"We starting to have more fun now. 10 Summers is me painting my picture of what the West Coast looks like right now. Kendrick was a good kid in a mad city. YG had his crazy life. Now it's my turn.\"\nIn 2014, DJ Mustard is hip-hop writ large, even if it's as much the producer's influence as his actual production. When \"Fancy,\" the Iggy Azalea smash produced by the Invisible Men and the Arcade, was released, YG called out its minimal synth lines and repeated background \"Heys\" for \"jocking\" DJ Mustard's sound. I ask Mustard if he's flattered by the emulation or if it's a case of \"get your own shit.\"\n\"It's flattering and get your own shit!\" says the producer, right before beginning his set. \"You can't complain about everybody that steals your sound. You'll be fighting for years trying to figure out how to make people not steal it. But I think it's true [what YG said]. I don't care. But I'm happy for them. I'm glad they got a hit out of it, at least.\" An hour later, Mustard will play \"Fancy\" to rapturous applause.\nAt this point, DJ Mustard can decide his own future, and the producer hopes to balance more solo albums with the demand from other artists. Though his hip-hop domination looks unchallenged, the producer is looking to expand outside the genre. Earlier this year, Justin Bieber posted a brief clip of himself dancing to a DJ Mustard beat, but Mustard says he still hasn't heard the finished song and is just an \"outsider looking in.\" Earlier this week, Bieber (under the name Bizzle) appeared on R&B singer Khalil's Mustard-produced track \"Time for Bed.\" Rihanna has also enlisted him for up to five songs on her next album. \"It's nothing that you ever heard me do,\" Mustard says cryptically, declining to give details.\nStill, being one of the biggest hip-hop producers in the world seems to affect other people more than the man himself. \"Pressure?\" he says, looking at me quizzically. \"I let everybody else think about that. I just get money and make beats and have fun. It's no pressure. I don't feel it at all.\"\nsource: rollingstone.com BY JASON NEWMAN\nhe got that simple flow\nChick Appeal\nNot a fan at all but cool for him.\n==GOES HARD",

        "raw_content": "Backup Communications System Was 'Miraculously' Switched on for 'Exercise Mode' and Ready for Use on 9/11\nShoestring Mon, 01/10/2011 - 10:47am\nA special backup network that allows communications between government and military agencies to continue during emergencies was \"miraculously\" switched on the day before 9/11, and so was already operational when the terrorist attacks in New York and at the Pentagon took place. The Special Routing Arrangement Service (SRAS) was, for reasons unknown, turned on for \"exercise mode\" on September 10, 2001, and was therefore ready to be utilized the following day, when there was a national emergency like that for which it was intended.\nThe SRAS is the responsibility of a little-known government agency called the National Communications System (NCS), which works to keep critical telecommunications functioning during emergencies and played a crucial role in the government's response to the 9/11 attacks, helping to maintain and restore communications networks. Furthermore, the SRAS is related to \"Continuity of Government\"--a plan that was activated for the first time during the attacks.\nSRAS TURNED ON FOR 'EXERCISE MODE' ON SEPTEMBER 10\nBrenton Greene, the director of the NCS on September 11, told the 9/11 Commission that on September 10, 2001, \"miraculously, the SRAS system was turned on for exercise mode and thus it was ready to function on September 11.\" Therefore, when the NCS was required to assist the government's response to the terrorist attacks, the \"SRAS was already in exercise mode and operational.\" [1]\nThe SRAS supports the highly secret Continuity of Government (COG) plan, which is intended to keep the government functioning in the event of an attack on the U.S. [2] The NCS's involvement in COG was one of the agency's three main programs. As Greene told the 9/11 Commission, \"The main communications system of the country must be kept going or no one can communicate.\" [3] The SRAS provides \"a vehicle for continuity of operations by providing survivable communications linkages to federal and defense end users over the public network,\" according to a Department of Homeland Security publication. [4]\nApparently describing the SRAS, Greene told the 9/11 Commission, \"There is a separate network linking the National Coordinating Center and the major carriers and networks as a backup.\" (The National Coordinating Center, in Arlington, Virginia, is the \"operational arm\" of the NCS.) This network \"proved its value as a separate link on 9/11 because it coordinated network use between Network Operations Centers while the [telecommunications] network was saturated.\" Furthermore, again apparently describing the SRAS, Greene said, \"In the situation where Continuity of Government is put into play\"--as was the case on September 11--\"there is a communications system where no one can trace the site of the call on either end.\" [5]\nWAS THE NCS INVOLVED IN A TRAINING EXERCISE ON SEPTEMBER 11?\nGreene apparently did not tell the 9/11 Commission why the SRAS was turned on for \"exercise mode\" on September 10. But a possible explanation that needs to be investigated is that the NCS was scheduled to participate in a training exercise on September 11. We know that the NCS was, in 2001, part of the Department of Defense. [6] And several U.S. military agencies are known to have been conducting exercises on the morning of September 11. For example, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) was running its annual exercise, \"Vigilant Guardian,\" [7] and the United States Strategic Command (Stratcom) was holding its annual exercise, \"Global Guardian.\" [8] Might the NCS have been participating in one of these, or another exercise?\nFurthermore, it is worth noting that beginning at 8:00 a.m. on September 11, representatives from the CIA gave a briefing to the NCS at \"a secure facility outside of Washington, DC,\" where they discussed the threat that international terrorists posed to America's telecommunications infrastructure. Along with Brenton Greene, the briefing was attended by representatives from seven other federal agencies and more than 40 technology and communications companies. The private sector representatives were all \"senior executives from their respective companies, and all had government security clearances that granted them access to the most sensitive intelligence data\" relating to threats to the nation's telecommunications infrastructure, according to journalist and author Dan Verton. Topics discussed during the briefing included the growing terrorist threat to the telecommunications infrastructure, the information warfare capabilities of foreign nations, and the possibility of a strategic cyber-attack on critical U.S. infrastructures, committed by a foreign nation or a terrorist group. [9]\nConsidering that the NCS's Special Routing Arrangement Service had been switched on for \"exercise mode\" the previous day, and considering the topics that were discussed, might this briefing have been an introduction for a training exercise, perhaps preparing participants for a scenario based around a simulated attack against the telecommunications network?\nCONTINUITY OF GOVERNMENT WAS ACTIVATED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON SEPTEMBER 11\nContinuity of Government is a program dating back to the cold war, which aims to ensure that the government will continue to function in the event of an attack on the United States. During the 1980s it prepared for a possible nuclear attack by the Soviet Union, but during the 1990s it focused instead on the possibility of a terrorist attack in the U.S.\nConsidering that the SRAS supports COG by \"providing survivable communications linkages to federal and defense end users,\" it is worth noting that sophisticated communications methods have played an important role in the COG program. In the 1980s, for example, much of its budget of hundreds of millions of dollars \"was spent on advanced communications equipment that would enable the teams [involved in COG] to have secure conversations with U.S. military commanders,\" according to journalist and author James Mann.\nFurthermore, three of the program's key players during the 1980s and 1990s held critical positions in the U.S. government on September 11. Those individuals--Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Richard Clarke--were the vice president, secretary of defense, and White House counterterrorism adviser, respectively, when the attacks occurred. [10] David Addington, Cheney's legal counsel in 2001, was also involved in the COG program. [11]\nIt is also notable that the COG plan was activated, apparently for the first time, during the 9/11 attacks. Richard Clarke has said that he gave the order to activate it, apparently at around 9:45 a.m. on September 11, or shortly after. [12] He told ABC News: \"On the morning of 9/11, the entire Continuity of Government program was activated. Every federal agency was ordered ... to activate an alternative command post, an alternative headquarters outside of Washington, DC, and to staff it as soon as possible.\" [13]\nConsidering that the SRAS is intended to support the COG program, it was convenient, to say the least, that it was already operational on September 11 and therefore immediately ready to be utilized by those involved with COG when the plan was activated.\nNCS'S CRITICAL RESPONSE TO THE 9/11 ATTACKS\nThe National Communications System, which is responsible for the Special Routing Arrangement Service, is a relatively small agency that was established in 1963, in order to provide better communications support to critical government functions during emergencies. [14] Around the time of the 9/11 attacks, it consisted of 22 federal agencies, 100 full-time civilian employees, and 10 military employees. [15]\nThe NCS played a critical role following the 9/11 attacks, when the destruction caused by those attacks became what Brenton Greene called \"the most significant challenge that the National Communications System had ever seen.\" [16] In partnership with private companies, it \"quickly assembled an unprecedented level of resources at the national, state, and local levels to support the response and recovery efforts.\"\nPresumably, the NCS's emergency efforts benefited from having the SRAS already operational when the attacks took place. As previously mentioned, the SRAS is related to the Continuity of Government plan. Notably, in response to the attacks, the NCS's National Coordinating Center operated at four sites, which included a \"remote continuity of operations location.\" [17] And Greene has said he went to his \"Continuity of Government site,\" where personnel operated around the clock to monitor the status of the telecommunications network, and coordinate priorities and repairs. [18]\nGOVERNMENT AGENCIES EXPERIENCED COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS ON SEPTEMBER 11\nSo little has been reported about the National Communications System and the Special Routing Arrangement Service, and the role played by each on September 11, that many crucial questions remain unanswered. For example, what capabilities did the SRAS enable? And what use was made of them on September 11, before, during, and after the attacks took place? Why was the SRAS turned on for exercise mode the day before 9/11?\nThe need for investigation of the roles of the NCS and the SRAS appears increasingly urgent in light of the fact that communication difficulties were a significant problem for government agencies responding to the 9/11 attacks. Indeed, one classified after-action report \"does not paint a favorable picture of the government's overall crisis management capabilities,\" according to Dan Verton. One government official said \"the nation was 'deaf, dumb, and blind' for much of that horrible day in September.\" [19]\n[1] \"Memorandum for the Record: Interview of Brenton C.

No, it was not a speculation: the 9/11 Commission Report twice confirms that COG was instituted on the authority of a phone call between Bush and Cheney of which they could find no record. No record, I did speculate, because it took place on a secure COG phone outside the presidential bunker \u2013 with such a high classification that the 9/11 Commission was never supplied the phone records.\n\u201cThe 9/11 crisis tested the U.S. government\u2019s plans and capabilities to ensure the continuity of constitutional government and the continuity of government operations. We did not investigate this topic, except as needed to understand the activities and communications of key officials on 9/11. The Chair, Vice Chair, and senior staff were briefed on the general nature and implementation of these continuity plans.[24]\nThe other footnotes confirm that no information from COG files was used to document the 9/11 report. At a minimum these files might resolve the mystery of the missing phone call which simultaneously authorized COG, and (in consequence) determined that Bush should continue to stay out of Washington .

Whether it is your branding, your content, your ideas or your trade secrets, your intellectual property needs proper handling and protection. We have many years of experience with building and protecting trademarks, registering copyrights and handling contracts, litigation and other intellectual property matters, and forming corporations and limited liability companies. This website will introduce you to our services and acquaint you with our approach.\nTrademark registration and maintenance is only one area in which we have significant experience. We also appear on behalf of our clients before the United States Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (otherwise known as the \"TTAB\"), in responding to refusals to register and in defending and prosecuting trademark opposition and cancellation actions. We prosecute and defend trademarks and copyrights in federal courts and assist our clients by drafting a wide range of agreements, including non-disclosure non-use agreements, co-existence agreements, rights of first refusal and matching offer, and licensing agreements. In addition, we assist clients in strategizing for branding, brand building and brand protection across the spectrum, including through use of our automated trademark portfolio management system. We have appeared in federal courts in Vermont, New York, California, Florida and Washington, D.C., and have extensive experience with Paris Convention filings, International Trademarks, Madrid Protocol, WIPO matters, domain disputes, domain name sales and purchases, and Internet issues and disputes.\nWe serve a wide range of clients, many of them in software and emerging technologies, but also in electronics, fashion, clothing and accessories, food, pharmaceuticals and nutriceuticals, exercise modalities, boxing and mixed martial arts, music and fine art.\nWe also partner frequently with other law firms, particularly foreign practices who need assistance registering and maintaining their intellectual property in the United States.\nWe can file your trademarks both domestically and internationally. We have filed and prosecuted (that means brought to registration) many thousands of trademarks throughout the world. This section explains what you will need to provide us with in order to file your trademark and some of the basics of trademark registration.\nThe Internet has made copyright a \"hot button\" issue, rife with misunderstanding. This section explains why you need to register your copyrights (even if the law doesn't require it), and will introduce you to some of the issues surrounding copyright infringement and defenses such as \"fair use.\"\nWe have successfully litigated to protect our clients' Internet domain names, used trademark for cyberpiracy prevention, issued and responded to so-called DMCA takedown notices, participated in ICANN arbitration proceedings, and dealt with cybersquatting. On many occasions, we have helped our clients negotiate the sale and transfer of domain names, sometimes for considerable sums of money. In this section, we will introduce you to some of the basic concepts and procedures of protection in this area.\nLicensing & Contracts\nWritten agreements are essential to protecting your intellectual property, whether trademarks, copyrighted content, potential inventions or trade secrets. This section discusses the kinds of contracts we prepare for our clients, from LLC operating agreements to non-disclosure and confidentiality issues to work for hire agreements and trademark and content licenses. We have served some of our clients from early start-up through acquisition or public offering, and we know how important it is to protect your intellectual property in writing at every stage.\nIP Issues in Employment Law\n\"Non-competition\" agreements have become more common over the last ten years even while courts give them mixed reviews. In addition, the presence of the Internet in the workplace has created new problems for employers in terms of protecting both their intellectual property and public image. This is a rapidly evolving area that needs to be addressed in employee handbooks and policies, as well as in employment contracts, even ones that are \"at will.\" This section provides an introduction to these issues from the standpoint of both employers and employees.\nIP Law News Roundup\nMusic Community Registers Approval for Copyright Bill\nH.R. 1695, \"The Register of Copyrights Selection and Accountability Act,\" is expected to encounter no significant opposition in the Republican-controlled Senate, where it will be voted on before going to the president's desk. The bill passed the House of Representatives 378-48. \"Copyright is a Republican issue,\" said entertainment attorney Dina LaPolt (Britney Spears, Steven Tyler), who has lobbied energetically for the bill. \"They see it as private property rights.\" Democrats tend to view it as \"information wants to be free,\" the so-called Silicon Valley approach that has pitted techs against creatives in a heated legislative battle. Following several bills that had languished, H.R. 1695 is the first step in what the songwriters hope will be a decisive march toward copyright reform under the Trump administration. Revisiting the compulsory license rules that force artists to sell their songs for fees set by the government is also on the radar. The bill calls for removing copyright oversight from the Library of Congress and vesting it in an independent agency, run by a presidential appointee with a 10-year term limit and confirmed by the Senate. Such a move would put copyright on par with patents and trademarks, which have their own agency, the Patent and Trademark Office. It would also give copyright a more authoritative voice in guiding its future.\nEminem Sues New Zealand Political Party Over 'Lose Yourself' Copyright\nThe Detroit-based music publishers for Eminem are suing New Zealand's conservative National Party, alleging the soundtrack for a 2014 election campaign ad copied the rapper's acclaimed 2002 song. Titled \"Eminem Esque,\" the track has the familiar urgent, pulsing beat of the original. The party has previously said it purchased the track through an Australian-based supplier and doesn't believe it has infringed anyone's copyright. In 2014, when the case was filed, lawmaker Steven Joyce said he thought the use of the song was \"pretty legal,\" and that Eminem's team \"are just having a crack and a bit of an eye for the main chance because it's an election campaign.\" Garry Williams, the lawyer for Eminem's music publishers Eight Mile Style, told the High Court in Wellington that the National Party had wanted a song that was edgy and modern but showed the party was dependable. He said the music fared better with focus groups than a classical piece. He quoted from National Party emails, including one in which the song is described as an Eminem \"sound-alike\" and another in which an agent for the party wrote \"I guess the question we're asking, if everyone thinks it's Eminem, and it's listed as Eminem Esque, how can we be confident that Eminem doesn't say we're ripping him off?\"\nAn Irish restaurant chain is upset that McDonald's owns so many 'Mc' trademarks\nIf you have the poor fortune of owning an Irish fast food chain whose name contains Mc or Mac but doesn't end in Donald's, doing business in Europe can be very, very hard. That's the claim made by a restaurant chain from Ireland, pitting itself against the international burger conglomerate in a peculiar spat. In a submission filed to the European Union's Intellectual Property Office, the restaurant Supermac's, a multimillion-dollar chain owned by a man named Pat McDonagh, has asked the office to cancel McDonald's \"Big Mac\" trademark in Europe, alleging that the company is participating in \"trademark bullying.\" Supermac's had previously tried to expand to other locations in Europe, but its trademark registration application was rejected after McDonald's voiced its objections. The company's more than 200 trademarks in the European Union could be particularly tough on business owners in Ireland and Scotland. The prefix Mac or Mc, when added to a surname, means \"son of.\" Twelve of the 100 most common surnames in both Ireland and Scotland begin with Mc or a Mac, and presumably, there are plenty of businesses that draw inspiration from their owners' names. \"McDonald's has literally registered the McWorld. It is trying to make sure that every word in the English language belongs to them if there is prefix Mc or Mac put in front of it,\" McDonagh told the Irish Times.\nApple Goes After Pear in Trademark Dispute\nPear Technology, which produces digital mapping software and services, applied for the pear logo in 2014 and was almost immediately challenged by Apple, which claimed it was confusingly similar to its own apple-with-a-bite-out-of-it silhouette logo. The Cupertino intellectual property lawyers claimed that despite one being a picture of a pear and one being a picture of an apple they were, legally, the same. How? Here are the words that make this leap of logic possible: \"abstract stylization\" and \"sleek, rounded silhouettes of the fruits.\" Even though the Pear Technologies trademark application had the word \"Pear Technologies\" written underneath as part of the mark, this mere detail was not enough to prevent consumers from being confused as to the difference between a pear and an apple, it seems. The name Pear Technologies \"must be assessed against the background of the fact that the word, where understood, merely reinforces the same concept as the one attributed to the sign's figurative element, thus creating a semantic unit.\" according to the decision of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) which ruled for Apple and against Pear Technologies.\nToy giant Hasbro is trying to trademark the smell of Play-Doh\nHow much is a smell worth? A lot, it seems, to multinational toy company Hasbro. Last month, the group submitted an application to trademark the distinctive scent of Play-Doh in the US. The application to the US's Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), covers all toy modelling compounds. It describes Play-Doh's particular smell as \"a unique scent formed through the combination of a sweet, slightly musky, vanilla-like fragrance, with slight overtones of cherry, and the natural smell of a salted, wheat-based dough.\" A container of Play-Doh was sent to the USPTO as part of the application process. Lee Curtis, a partner and chartered trademark attorney at law firm HGF, said: \"Hasbro's trade mark application shows that the use of smells in branding, and companies desire to protect them is increasing.\" While it is rare for smells to be successfully trademarked in the US, it is not unheard of. According to Mr Curtis, the first was a flowery scent used on yarn, registered in 1990.\nBentley Loses Trademark Battle Against Same-Named Clothing Company\nA trademark opposition proceeding filed by the British luxury automaker (\"Bentley Motors\") in 2015 against Manchester-based Bentley clothing company (\"Bentley Clothing\") has come to a close, with the more famous of the two parties taking a hit. On the heels of Bentley Clothing filing to register the \"Bentley\" mark with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (\"UK IPO\") in June 2015, in two classes (25, which applies to clothing and accessories, and 35, which covers \"retail and wholesale services connected with the sale of vehicles and parts and accessories therefor; retail and wholesale services connected with the sale of perfumes and cosmetics, optical apparatus, glasses, sunglasses, and accessories\"), Bentley Motors filed to oppose the mark. According to Bentley Motors' trademark opposition, which was filed in September 2015, the goods asserted within Bentley Clothing's trademark application were \"confusingly similar\" to an array of goods in which it maintained trademark rights at the time. Unpersuaded by Bentley Motors' argument that it maintains rights in the \"Bentley\" trademark in connection with garments, UK IPO trademark hearing officer George W. Salthouse held that the company did not produce sufficient evidence to support its asserts.\nChristian Louboutin lost a recent quest to obtain federal trademark protection for its red soles in Switzerland. According to local Swiss media outlets, the country's highest court turned down the Paris-based footwear brand's final appeal for protection, holding that its red soles are merely aesthetic and as a result, are not worthy of trademark protection. The Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne affirmed the Federal Administrative Court's April 2016 decision, which classified the brand's famed red sole as a \"decorative element,\" as opposed to an identifier of source \u2014 the latter of which is the purpose of trademark law. Louboutin appealed the lower court's decision, but as of last week, the Supreme Court ruled against Louboutin, as well. The court held that while Louboutin does maintain trademark protections in other countries, including the United States, China, Russia and Australia, that does not mean it is entitled to the same level of protection in Switzerland.\nIn what's bound to be viewed a scary decision for internet service providers (ISPs), Cox Communications, a cable and internet company in Virginia, has been ordered to pay $8.4 million in legal fees to BMG Rights Management for copyright infringement. This is in addition to a $25 million penalty levied against Cox in November 2014, Media Post reports. The record company sued Cox for copyright infringement because the ISP's customers were sharing pirated content, something BMG believes Cox could have taken steps to prevent. Despite Cox's arguments that it should be shielded from such lawsuits under federal copyright law, the judge disagreed, ruling instead that Cox was liable. This was the first case in which an ISP was held liable for the pirating activities of its subscribers (although not the only one). Cox appealed, saying many of the warning notices it received from BMG on behalf of its clients weren't reliable; BMG argued in return that Cox took no action to disconnect repeat offenders found to be sharing illegally pirated content. On Tuesday, US District Judge Liam O'Grady not only reaffirmed the original verdict, he ordered that Cox pay BMG's legal fees. He stated that without such a large penalty, the cost incurred in such a legal battle might \"deter other potential plaintiffs from seeking to enforce their rights.\"\nMonsanto loses patent and trademark dispute in India\nAgriculture company Monsanto has lost a patent and trademark dispute against Indian agribusiness Nuziveedu Seeds. On Tuesday, March 28, the High Court of Delhi ordered the US company to continue a licensing agreement that had been terminated. In 2004, a joint venture between Monsanto and agricultural business Mahyco \u2014called Mahyco Monsanto Biotech \u2014entered into a ten-year agreement providing Nuziveedu with 50 grams of cotton seeds. Further licensing deals followed, expiring in 2015. The dispute arose in 2015 when Monsanto sued Nuziveedu for patent and trademark infringement.It claimed that the Indian company had continued to use Monsanto's technology after the joint venture had ended the licensing deal.\nBrewDog backs down over Lone Wolf pub trademark dispute\nBrewDog, the self-described \"punk\" beer company, has backed down in a row over the name of a family-run pub, blaming \"trigger-happy\" lawyers for the legal action. The brother-and-sister team behind the Wolf pub in Birmingham were forced to drop their original plan to name the establishment the Lone Wolf, after receiving a legal warning from BrewDog, which has launched a spirit bearing the same name. But BrewDog founder James Watt announced a change of heart on Monday after the Guardian's report sparked a backlash that saw the firm, a vocal critic of large, faceless brewing firms, accused of acting like \"just another multinational corporate machine\".\ncarthamic\nPosted by Lawrence Stanley on January 31, 2017\nPosted by Lawrence Stanley on January 8, 2017\nPosted by Gordon Troy on July 25, 2016\nPosted by Gordon Troy on March 12, 2016\nPosted by Gordon Troy on March 2, 2016\nPosted by Gordon Troy on January 19, 2016\nPosted by Lawrence Stanley on December 24, 2015\nWho Stole the Milano Cookie from the Cookie Jar?\nPosted by Lawrence Stanley on December 8, 2015\nTrademark Trolls & Trademark Bullies\nGordon E.

Cody Critcheloe is a little bit Freddie Mercury, a little bit Jake Shears and a whole lot of entertaining! He danced all night long, and had drag queens and cross dressers dancing on stage with him to make the evening more wild. Perhaps best of all, Casey Spooner of Fisherspooner was a special guest and he welcomed the Spring to New York by wearing slightly more than a smile (see a picture after the jump).\nSscion\nThe crowd was dressed to the nines and the museum was packed. One thing was clear \u2013 everyone was there for one reason only: to have a great time. This show is definitely a contender for one of the best shows I\u2019ve seen in 2011. It combined art and music perfectly and was fun from start to finish. If you missed this show, it is a pity, but you have two more chances to catch Ssion at PS1. They\u2019ll be performing on May 14 and 15, 2011 and you can get tickets in the link above. The show begins around 9 pm and I highly recommend you see it.\nSee more pictures after the jump including Casey Spooner wearing very little and the gratuitous armpit hair shot of Cody(for my gays), the set list and a photo from my backstage encounter with Cody Critcheloe.\nTags: 2011, Armpit Hair, Band, Bent, Casey Spooner, Cody Critcheloe, Fisherspooner, Lead Singer, Moma, Museum Party, New York, Performance Art, Photos, PS1, Queens, Review, Set List, Shirtless, Ssion",

        "title": "Biography - Cecil Thomas Madigan - Australian Dictionary of Biography",
        "raw_content": "Madigan, Cecil Thomas (1889\u20131947)\nby L. W. Parkin\nCecil Thomas Madigan (1889-1947), by Frank Hurley, c1913\nCecil Thomas Madigan (1889-1947), geologist and explorer, was born on 15 October 1889 at Renmark, South Australia, son of Thomas Madigan, contractor and fruitgrower, and his wife Mary Dixie, n\u00e9e Finey. Cecil was the eldest of two sons and two daughters. Family associations with the pioneer William Chaffey were close. Thomas Madigan died on the Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, goldfields so the children were raised by their mother who worked as a teacher. Cecil attended Adelaide High School and, on a scholarship, Prince Alfred College before studying mining engineering at the University of Adelaide (B.Sc., 1910, surrendered 1932 for B.Eng.), where he graduated as an exhibitioner, and the South Australian School of Mines and Industries. In 1911 Madigan went as a Rhodes scholar to England, but deferred the appointment when he was selected by (Sir) Douglas Mawson as meteorologist for the Australasian Antarctic Expedition.\nMadigan was to install and read the meteorological instruments during the two-year project. He made several exploratory sledge journeys from the base camp at Denison Station, Adelie Land; on one, his party reconnoitred the ice plateau in winter, experiencing record cold and wind. In the summer of 1912-13 Madigan led the eastern sledging party which traversed the sea-ice and coastline of King George V Land, a round journey of 500 miles (805 km), which took two months. Overcoming many near-disasters, the party collected significant data on the ice, and discovered a coal-bearing rock formation. His account is in his chapter of Mawson's The Home of the Blizzard (London, 1915). Madigan's journey had coincided with Mawson's southern sledging party during which his two companions perished and Mawson struggled back alone to base camp only to miss the relief ship. Madigan led the group which had remained behind to wait for Mawson's return or to mount a search for him. Madigan received the King's Polar Medal in 1914 and published The Meteorology of Cape Denison, Adelie Land in the records of the expedition (1929).\nAfter one term at Oxford in 1914 he joined the Royal Engineers, 76th Field Company, Guards Division, becoming captain in 1916. He served in France and was twice mentioned in dispatches. 'A fine looking, broad-shouldered fellow' of 6 ft 3 ins (191 cm), on 20 August 1915 in London Madigan had married Wynnis Knight Wollaston of Adelaide; he returned to the front immediately, was wounded, and after recuperating went back to France in May 1916. Their first son was born in July.\nAfter demobilization he returned to Magdalen College, Oxford (B.A., 1919; M.A., 1922; D.Sc., 1933), taking first-class honours in geology and winning blues in rowing and boxing. In 1920 he went as assistant government geologist to the Sudan where he first encountered deserts and the use of camels in geological field operations. He returned in 1922 to the University of Adelaide as lecturer in geology, a post he held until his death.\nA renewed friendship with Mawson, now professor of geology and mineralogy, coloured Madigan's academic career; both were heroic exploration geologists, of striking stature, vigour and personality; keen to succeed scientifically, they divided fields of interest\u2014Madigan's arid central Australia, Mawson's the Antarctic and Precambrian South Australia. They influenced each other importantly. Their pupils regarded them with awe and affection. Madigan supported the students' union and the graduates' association and founded the Tate Society for students of the natural sciences whom he led in the field during vacations.\nHis initial South Australian research centred on Fleurieu Peninsula; the results appeared in papers published in the Royal Society of South Australia's Transactions in 1925-28. In 1929 he won the support of the State branch of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia and its president A. A. Simpson, and the co-operation of the Royal Australian Air Force for aerial reconnaissance of Central Australia and northern South Australia. This was the first time that systematic aerial strip-photography had been attempted in Australia and aeroplanes used for geological work. The surveys, in August, took nineteen days. The first covered the mines at Broken Hill, New South Wales, followed by a traverse across Lake Frome to Marree, then over the other dry salt-lakes\u2014Callabonna, Blanche, Gregory, Torrens and Eyre, all in South Australia. The next flight ran north-easterly to Birdsville, Queensland, and the margin of what Madigan named the Simpson Desert. Three flights were then made over it, the first from Birdsville to Alice Springs, the second across the northern end to Lake Caroline and the Hay River, and the third south from Alice Springs, traversing the desert's length near its western margin. The party then ran several traverses across the vast, dry, salt bed of Lake Eyre and attempted to analyse the lake surface.\nThe aerial reconnaissance of Lake Eyre aroused Madigan's curiosity about this lowest area of the Australian continent, the focus of a vast drainage system bounded by the MacDonnell Ranges and the Queensland coastal ranges, a watershed of almost 500,000 sq. miles (1,294,995 km\u00b2). It seemed that the lake-bed might be accessible to a motor vehicle, so in December he made a ground survey and several auger holes were sunk in the lake surface. The results of the aerial reconnaissance and the Lake Eyre (ground) exploration were published in the local Geographical Society's Proceedings, 1929, and in the Geographical Journal, 1930. Madigan calculated that the whole lake-floor could never be covered by water; he would have been astonished and delighted by several total floodings since his death.\nIn mid-1930 he journeyed by camel through the MacDonnell, James and Waterhouse ranges and established their geological succession and structure. The results of this and earlier work were published in a series of papers and he wrote a popular account, Central Australia (London, 1936). Commissioned in 1932 by Sydney newspapers, Madigan had reported adversely on an alleged major gold discovery at the Granites, Central Australia. About 1933 he began to describe meteorites and their craters. He visited the Henbury and Boxhole craters in the Northern Territory and recovered and described the Huckitta meteorite, now in the South Australian Museum.\nThe Simpson is a sand-ridge desert extending 200 miles (322 km) west to east, the ridges running parallel from north to south at roughly quarter-mile (0.4 km) intervals, some reaching as high as 100 feet (30 m). Madigan planned a ground crossing in the winter of 1939. A party of nine, including a biologist, a botanist, a photographer and a radio operator, with nineteen camels, made the exhausting crossing from Andado station in the Northern Territory to Birdsville in twenty-five days. It verified Madigan's previous conclusions that the area was a wasteland. This last classic Australian exploration adventure pioneered the use of mobile radio communication; national broadcasts were made through the Australian Broadcasting Commission from desert camps. The scientific results were published and also a popular account, Crossing the Dead Heart (Melbourne, 1946). He saw the 'Dead Heart' as a land of everlasting sand-ridges and salt-encrusted clay-pans; while his conclusions seemed correct then, within twenty years the area was criss-crossed by petroleum explorers.\nIn 1940 Madigan became chief instructor in the School of Military Field Engineering at Liverpool, New South Wales, attaining the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Later he reported on water resources. He retired from the army in 1943 and returned to the University of Adelaide.\nMadigan was a fellow of the Geological Society of London; president of the Royal Society of South Australia (1936), a council-member and its Verco medallist (1945); president of the geographical section of the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science (1937); and Clarke memorial lecturer to the Royal Society of New South Wales (1938). He received the Murchison grant of the Royal Geographical Society in 1941 and was a local councillor of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia in 1939-46. He was State chief commissioner of the Boy Scouts' Association from 1934 and also worked for the Legacy Club and the National Co-ordinating Council for Physical Fitness.\nHe died in Adelaide of coronary vascular disease on 14 January 1947 and was buried in Centennial Park cemetery; his wife, two daughters and three sons survived him.\nMadigan bridged the period between the era of intrepid endeavour and that of modern transport and communications; his work in the MacDonnell Ranges, the Simpson Desert and Lake Eyre made him an authority on central Australian geology and geography. In teaching he concentrated on practical geology and, at a time when the discipline was mainly academic, introduced students to its mining, engineering and economic implications, which later became major preoccupations. In 1962 at Birdsville a cairn was erected to commemorate his 1939 crossing of the Simpson Desert.\nRoyal Society of South Australia, Transactions, 71 (1947), p 1\nNature (London), 15 Mar 1947\nPRGSSA, 48 (1947), p 67\nNews (Adelaide), 14 Jan 1947\nAdvertiser (Adelaide), 15 Jan 1947\nPRG 43 (State Records of South Australia)\nCrocker, Robert Langdon (colleague)\nSprigg, Reginald Claude (mentored)\nL.

        "raw_content": "For more information, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions section on Direct Access Program (DAP) for Syrians.\nAljijakli & Kosseff, LLC applauds the announcement of expedited immigrant visa processing for certain Syrians and Iraqis. In February 2016, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) launched the Priority-2 (P-2) Direct Access Program (DAP) for Iraqi and Syrian Beneficiaries of an approved I-130 Petition for Alien Relative.\nThe DAP program will expedite the processing of immigrant visas for qualifying Iraqi and Syrian nationals. The standard wait times for immigrant visa availability can be between two and twelve years for family-based petitions. The goal of DAP is to promote family reunification by allowing Iraqis and Syrians who are the beneficiaries of immigrant visas which are not yet current and who can demonstrate a refugee claim to come to the U.S. more quickly.\nGiven our close work with the Syrian and Iraqi communities, Aljijakli & Kosseff responds to inquiries on an almost daily basis by families who are desperate to bring their loved ones to the U.S. Until now, there has been no preferential processing for Syrians or Iraqis despite the extraordinary need. DAP provides an opportunity to reunite some of these families safely and much sooner than expected.\nIn order to qualify for DAP, an I-130 petition must be filed by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and then approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The beneficiary must also demonstrate to USCIS that he/she qualifies as a refugee, meaning that he/she is unable or unwilling to return to his/her country of citizenship because of persecution or a well-founded fear or persecution on account of race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group. The USCIS has stated that letters and applications will be mailed to the petitioners of cases with Iraqi or Syrian beneficiaries of approved I-130 petitions who may qualify for expedited processing under DAP. Derivative applicants of approved I-130 petitions will also be eligible to benefit from DAP. Derivatives are the spouses and unmarried children who were less than 21 years of age on the date the beneficiary\u2019s I-130 petition was approved.\nProcessing of DAP applications is only available to individuals living in thirteen locations: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The U.S. Government is unable to process DAP applications for I-130 beneficiaries residing in Syria. Where possible, applicants may be able to travel to one of the thirteen locations where processing is available but the U.S. government does not provide assistance with relocation. In case of relocation, it is important that you notify the National Visa Center of your change of address. The USCIS has also indicated that beneficiaries who are residing in the U.S. or Canada will not receive letters regarding DAP as they are not eligible to apply.",

Linda McCartney\nD). The Partridge Family\nThe American Treasure Tour has a poster displayed in our Toy Box celebrating 'Fabulous Fours' - a concert in 1987 starring three of the classic bands of the 1950's. We will reveal the other two in the next few days, but one of the headliners was The Four Aces. What remains unclear from the advertisement is which version of the Four Aces was playing that day. The original band The Four Aces was founded right around 1950 by a South Philly singer named Al Alberts and his Navy buddy David Mahoney, who accompanied him. Add the trumpeting skills of Rosario \"Sod\" Vaccaro with Lou Silvestri on drums and the Four Aces became four. The early years of the Aces brought great success with songs including \"Love is a Many-Splendored Thing,\" \"Three Coins in a Fountain,\" \"Stranger in Paradise,\" and \"(It's No) Sin.\"\nSuccess, one might argue, got to Al Alberts' head and he went solo. Shortly after he left the band, David and Sod followed. The Four Aces continued with original member Lou and three other musicians he recruited. Soon enough, Al, David and Sod asked Lou to rejoin them. He did, and there were two bands calling themselves the Four Aces. Law suits came and went and then there was the Four Aces and the Original Four Aces. Both bands played the same songs to happy audiences through the years. Sadly, the Original Four Aces have all passed away, all of them living into their late-eighties.\nANSWER: D). The Partridge Family. Alas, to our knowledge, David Cassidy and his television family never recorded a version of \"Mr. Sandman.\"\nTagged: Four Aces, Al Alberts, David Mahoney, Rosario Vaccaro, Lou Silvestri, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, Three Coins in a Fountain, Stranger in Paradise, (It's No) Sin\nSword Swallowers - The Return",

        "raw_content": "Jason Sokol is Visiting Assistant Professor of History and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Cornell University and the author of There Goes My Everything: White Southerners in the Age of Civil Rights.\nI asked Jason to put his book to the \"page 69 test\"; here is his response:\nThere Goes My Everything narrates the civil rights years from the perspective of southern whites \u2013 a populace that ambled reluctantly toward racial change. For it s stories and its drama, my book relies on the words of southerners themselves, on those who lived through a transformation few had seriously contemplated.\nThis excerpt from the book, on page 69, is littered with quotes. On this page alone, I quote no less than 8 different people. One of them, Martin Luther King, Jr., declares that the black freedom struggle \u201cwill turn Albany upside down.\u201d The other 7 voices \u2013 all white residents of that Southwest Georgia area \u2013 insist that civil rights protests will achieve no such change. A persistent paternalism and long-held racial stereotypes weigh down many of their comments. One man volunteers, \u201cA Negro is O.K. as long as they stay in their place.\u201d Another woman characterizes African-Americans as \u201chappy and content,\u201d and as the dupes of \u201coutside agitators\u201d like King.\nWhile most pages of my book do not contain as many quotes as page 69, the words on this page help to illuminate the old southern mindset about race, alive and well in Albany, Georgia during the 1960s.\nWhites clung to such traditional notions even as the greatest social movement in twentieth-century America unfolded before their eyes. Indeed, the civil rights movement exposed such beliefs for the myths they had always been. Before the civil rights years, most whites thought of blacks as content and docile, picturing African-Americans as \u201ctheir Negroes.\u201d But as I write on page 57: \u201cThe claims of bewildered whites collided with the reality of organized blacks, who exploded the myth that they were anyone\u2019s Negroes, or that they ever had been.\u201d\nThe civil rights movement not only won legal equality for black Americans. It also forced white southerners to rethink the teachings of a lifetime, and to make their way in a new social world. This is the upheaval that There Goes My Everything chronicles, and a small taste of the stories that it tells.\nMany thanks to Jason for the input.\nClick here to read an excerpt from There Goes My Everything.\n\u201cFor most of us, \u2018white southerners\u2019 remain an undifferentiated mass of forces hostile to the social and political progress of African-Americans in the civil rights era. Jason Sokol brilliantly reveals, for the first time, that this image was only one dimension of a vastly more complex range of emotions and opinions within the white southern community between 1945 and 1975. There Goes My Everything is a subtle, nuanced, and strikingly original study that explores the ways in which the white community was not only threatened by but also conflicted about the black revolution that engulfed it, and it does so with sympathy and grace.\u201d\n--Henry Louis Gates, Jr.\n\u201cIt\u2019s difficult not to approach Sokol\u2019s book with sheer astonishment that it has been written by one so young...but in truth, just about any scholar in the field would be happy to claim There Goes My Everything as his or her own work.\u201d\n--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World\n\u201cA fascinating and remarkably empathetic assessment of how white southerners experienced the civil-rights movement.\u201d\n--Atlantic Monthly\nClick here for links to some of Jason's essays.",

        "title": "7 Key Steps of Recruiting, Training and Retaining Church Volunteers",
        "raw_content": "I\u2019ve written on burnout (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 & also this one) and volunteer issues before, but the key to avoiding those issues is right-fitting volunteers and placing safe boundaries around their workload.\nIn my experience, there are three parts (Recruit, Train, Retain) to this process, so I\u2019ve included my 7 Steps of Recruiting, Training and Retaining Volunteers. Feel free to share and comment.\n1) Invite someone to learn with you. There\u2019s something powerful about being invited and asked to participate in something bigger than ourselves. Most of the best volunteers I\u2019ve met at hundreds of churches came because someone asked them if they\u2019d like a chance to see what it was like to do what we do! Your pool of current volunteers are the best possible recruiters. Why? Because, chances are, they are friends with people similar to themselves. That means techies know more techies. It also means that your non-techie volunteers (more on that below) know people like them, too. Leveraging the spheres of influence that your volunteers have is the best way to invite new people to your ministry.\nAnother important recruiting tip is to find college interns, stay-at-home moms and retirees who have the time to give on a Monday thru Friday basis. Unlike your other volunteers with full-time jobs, these folks have more flexible schedules and can help you with a host of necessary areas including volunteer scheduling, administrative support, copywriting, organizing, documenting and encouraging other volunteers with handwritten notes. I have had men and women help me out during the week so that I was freed up to do the work that only I could do instead of work that anyone could do. One of my best volunteers was a brilliant administrator; she just kept me organized and helped me with the myriad of daily tasks that I didn\u2019t like or have the time to do.\nWhen you use interns, keep a log of what they do and give them the chance to apply their time and effort towards their high school or college credits. It may mean you need to go and visit with their high school counselor or college professor, but those real world on-the-job training hours can result in applicable hours towards their degree.\n2) Guide someone through the process, initiate them slowly through the ropes and give them a lot of freedom to watch and observe. There\u2019s a great deal of safety in knowing that an invitation to come into the tech booth has no expectation for them to perform. If possible, have a trained techie with the observer to point out what\u2019s happening and to answer their questions. De-mystifying the tech is a big part of alleviating their fears.\n3) Encourage those who have a giftedness at certain tasks or in certain areas. We all love hearing when we\u2019ve \u201cgot it\u201d and like to know we\u2019re doing something well (or have the potential to do so). Your best volunteers will \u2018own\u2019 their role, taking your ministry to new heights because of their joy, passion and talent! Plus, really happy volunteers are also highly motivated volunteers who show up early and stay late.\n4) Develop the people who show the most interest, have the best servant attitudes and are teachable. I\u2019d much rather have a person who is inexperienced and teachable than an \u201cexpert\u201d who can\u2019t be taught. If you\u2019ve got a soccer mom who doesn\u2019t know technology but is highly teachable, pour into her and see where she can serve. I\u2019ve quite often found that soccer moms make some of the best presentation software volunteers and excellent camera operators. Truly, you don\u2019t have to have a techie person to keep up with detail work. They don\u2019t have to know the operating system or even how the camera really works. They just operate with confidence and style!\n5) Evaluate honestly. Hurting feelings doesn\u2019t have to be a part of the job, so be gentle when you have to redirect people out of areas where they can\u2019t accomplish the job. Keep written records of evaluation and offer tangible steps for people to either improve or find new ways to serve.\nAlso, as blog reader Mark Alves points out, evaluation is easier when done against a set of pre-defined expectations \u2013 a job/role description. He\u2019s right, too, because it\u2019s hard for a volunteer to hear they missed a mark they didn\u2019t know they were supposed to hit!\n6) Participation has to be consistent. There\u2019s not an expert or professional on the planet who simply showed up and started being a genius without any failures or dedication to their role. This is a \u201cteam sport\u201d and it takes all of us working together in unison and not flaunting individual talents.\nFor worship and church tech arts, I\u2019m personally a fan of having a volunteer team serve the entire weekend and then not serve again for at least two more weeks. This means you will have the same team for all rehearsals and services so that you\u2019re all very consistent and work fluidly as a unit. By building these teams and operating in a one-week-on, two-weeks-off rotation, they\u2019re consistent in their roles while having the time off to recoup from a long weekend.\n7) Reproduction should be a natural part of someone becoming seriously qualified and competent in their role. Far too many churches have \u201cthe sound guy\u201d (as in ONLY ONE PERSON) or \u201cthe worship leader\u201d. While there can (and should) be a leader for decision-making and administration, a team of leaders is the only way to obtain consistency, quality and growth. An example of this reproduction came from my own life as a volunteer. One of my roles at a large church was as a volunteer trainer. Sure it was training, but I looked at it as loving on volunteers. It was also the first time I viewed myself as a volunteer pastor, by taking the time to connect with these other volunteers outside of weekend services to listen, encourage and share life with them.\nHow are you recruiting, training and retaining volunteers?

        "raw_content": "About five weeks ago, while I was in Italy studying with my yoga teacher, I got a phone call from my brother. My biological father, who I hadn\u2019t spoken to in three years, was dying of cancer. He had never met my daughter, his only grandchild, and I had not seen him in about ten years. I did not meet him or know where he was until I was 10 years old. There is, as you can imagine, much more to this story.\nI hung up with my brother and wept.\nTwo days later, Peter, my father, heard the voice of my daughter, his granddaughter, for the very first time. I asked him if he wanted to meet her. Through tears, over the phone, he expressed how wonderful that could be.\nI have decided to start being more honest about my life in writing. Before I was a mother and a wife, I was fairly open about the challenges I faced, and wrote about much of it freely. Since moving to Switzerland, which places quite a premium on privacy and silence, my writing and public sharing has become increasingly scarce and hushed. Certainly, that has been affected also by the privacy I wish for my daughter and family, as well as the very real strains on time that I have found in motherhood. However, as I review the past three years, it is clear that my silence has been largely dominated by my immigration to a place that has, despite my best efforts, never felt like home.\nMaybe it is because I turn 40 this week. Maybe it is because I am faced with the mortality of my own father, and have come face to face once again with the fleeting, wondrous and unapologetic nature of life. Maybe it is because I have finally simultaneously accepted and reached my limit in the struggles I have borne quietly here in beautiful, idyllic Switzerland. Or that I have both accepted and reached my limit on the abuses I bear from certain family members or colleagues. For all of these reasons, I feel called to share; as a purge, as a potential connection to others who might read, as a basic trait of my own humanity\u2026 and most importantly for me at this time, as a clear mark of my process of acceptance and forgiveness.\nThese two active states of being, acceptance and forgiveness, go hand in hand, as they are deeply connected with the process of loosening our grip on what we want now and what we wanted in the past. They radically alter our need to be right or to be safe. They shift our perception from dream-state to pure presence. Acceptance moves us from fear and clinging. Forgiveness places us in the seat of our heart and out of our stranglehold on the past.\nWithin two weeks of my brother\u2019s phone call, I was sitting at my father\u2019s bedside, holding his hand and tenderly laying aside years of my own suffering to share in what has always amounted to a profound connection. It was maybe the most intense and radical process of acceptance and forgiveness I have ever encountered. He met my my daughter, his granddaughter. We wept and laughed and shared our hearts.\nThis process continues to tenderize my heart and break me wide open. It has proven to me how strong and resilient I am, as much as it has brought me to my knees.\nMy old anger sifts through my heart like sand in a sieve, and I am left with the shells and beach glass of grief and sadness\u2026 but also those of joy and wonder and connection.\nI wade in the tides and collect the beauties, only to set them free to the ocean again.",

        "raw_content": "Apple now allowing trade-ins for water damaged devices\nMonday, November 18, 2013, 10:02 pm PT (01:02 am ET)\nIn a change to its Reuse and Recycling Program policies, Apple is now allowing customers to trade in devices that have been exposed to water or other liquids, though prices can be affected by over $100 in some cases.\nFor its Reuse and Recycling Program, Apple has partnered with PowerON to buy used iPhones, iPads and Macs, as well as other non-Apple products. Until the recent policy revision, however, devices with liquid damage were not accepted.\nAs noted on Monday, Apple's has lifted that particular restriction, though signs of liquid contact can substantially detract from a device's value.\nFor example, a good condition 64GB black iPhone 5 tied to AT&T would fetch $350 without water damage. With water damage, the same model drops down to $230. The lower price is to be expected, as recyclers are taking a risk in buying back a damaged item.\nApple points out that customers can assess their own devices by checking a liquid contact indicator usually located in the bottom of the headphone jack. If activated, the normally white or silver tab will show a red or pink color. The indicator is positioned on the bottom of the dock connector housing for the iPhone 3G and later, as well as all iPads. An exception is the iPhone 5, which has the indicator placed in the SIM card tray.\nApple first debuted the Reuse and Recycling Program in 2011 and offers Apple Store gift cards instead of cash for used products.\nShip times for iPhone 5s improve to 3-5 days for all models",

Thomson\nFrom The Building News, May 31 1872: \u201cOne of our illustrations this week is of a house in Bath-street, Glasgow, which was built about twelve years ago by the late Mr. John Cairney, glass- stainer, and from designs by Messrs. Alexander & George Thomson, architects in that city. Bath-strcet is a quiet thoroughfare in the north-west part of Glasgow, having in its east end a few places of business and in its west such mansions as that in which Lord-Provost Lumsden entertained the Prince and Princess of Wales. The building illustrated is in the former, and was planned for (generally) shops and counting-houses, and a workshop and warehouse for the proprietor\u2019s own use. The site being on a ravine (the course of S. Enoch\u2019s Burn) gave an opportunity for two stories below the level of the street, and in the lowest were constructed Mr. Cairney\u2019s kilns and furnaces. The building faces the south in a 6Oft. wide street, and is supported on the east by the Mechanics\u2019 Institution, a building erected about the same time from competition-designs by Mr. Salmon, and on the west by a business-purposed tenement, and also of about the same date from a design by Mr. Baird. The style is that peculiar variety of Greek which the Messrs. Thomson may be said to have created, and by which they have achieved a not only high but widely-spread reputation. The building is now the property of Messrs. Rowley & Dick, oil-merchants, by whom it is partly occupied.\u201d\nTags: 1860, Alexander & George Thomson, Glasgow",

A story line that aims to appease the cultish fans of \"The Matrix,\" who have been waiting four years to find out the fate of the human race? Double-check.\nFew sequels have been greeted with as much anticipation -- and as many high expectations -- as the final installments of \"The Matrix\" trilogy: \"The Matrix Reloaded,\" which opens in May, followed by \"The Matrix Revolutions\" in November. The first movie sparked a revolution in movie-making, delivering a mind-bending look at the future and stunning visuals. Its greatest strength, however, came from an emotionally gripping plot.\nThat's a tough act to follow.\nBut producer Joel Silver insists \"Reloaded\" and \"Revolutions\" aren't simply sequels offering contrived variations on the same theme. From the start, writers-directors-brothers Larry and Andy Wachowski envisioned a tale that unfolds in three parts like a superheroes comic book sprung to life. \"The Matrix\" served as the introduction to this world in which reality is turned inside out.\n\"The story continues to be everything. It's the driving force,\" Silver said in his office at Warner Bros., the studio releasing the films.\nFor \"Matrix\" newbies, the trilogy is set in a dark, dreary future run by machines that enslave humans in a dreamlike state to extract the energy produced by their bodies. An alienated computer hacker, Neo, played by Keanu Reeves, is rescued from this captivity after an all-knowing oracle anoints him \"The One\" -- as in the one who unknowingly possesses the superhuman strength needed to save the human race.\nAt first, Neo is filled with self-doubt. Eventually, he comes to believe in himself.\nAlthough some critics found fault with the film's plot and structure, the movie became a hit even among those who generally avoid sci-fi flicks. \"The Matrix,\" which cost about $65 million to make, earned more than $458 million in theaters worldwide. Twenty-five million videos (VHS and DVDs) were sold. It also won four Academy Awards (editing, sound-effects editing, visual effects and sound).\nThe plots of \"Reloaded\" and \"Revolutions\" have been closely held secrets but take moviegoers into Zion -- the world's last remaining haven for humans -- and an epic showdown between Neo and the forces of evil, Silver said.\nSeveral characters will be back to help Neo, including his love interest, Trinity, played by Carrie-Anne Moss, and Morpheus, the rebel leader played by Laurence Fishburne, as they try to save the world. New arrivals include Niobe (Jada Pinkett-Smith), who is Morpheus' former lover and, like Morpheus, is captain of a rebel ship. Princeton scholar Cornel West has a role in both movies as a Zion elder.\nLike the first movie, the sequels continue to draw on a variety of sources, from Japanese anime to Eastern philosophy as well as kung-fu films and the Bible, the kinds of concepts \"Matrix\" fans have relished dissecting and discussing. \"All the ideas and concepts are there,\" Silver promised, \"only better.\"\nThe same goes for the computer-generated images and special effects in \"Reloaded\" and \"Revolutions,\" said John Gaeta, senior visual effects supervisor.\n\"This will be the most sophisticated depiction of humans ever ... that are not real, they are computer-generated,\" Gaeta said.\nThat remains to be seen. But a few snippets of footage show astonishingly realistic images of Neo flying through the air and hint at the array of villains that Neo must combat to free the human race from its increasingly sophisticated machine masters.\nNeo's nemesis, Agent Smith, is back, played by Hugo Weaving. In the first movie he possesses the ability to transport himself across virtual time and space as he attempts to hunt down and kill Neo. By \"Reloaded,\" Agent Smith's mutating powers have endowed him with the ability to replicate himself. In one of \"Reloaded's\" climactic scenes, Neo finds himself battling more than 100 Agent Smiths.\n\"We wanted a chance to explore an event that was not possible to choreograph,\" Gaeta said. The result, he said, is a sequence in which Weaving's and Reeves' characters are digitally rendered and brought to life -- with moviegoers probably unable to tell the difference. Or so the filmmakers hope.\nThe Wachowskis also wanted something so sophisticated that it couldn't be easily ripped off, Silver said. After the release of \"The Matrix,\" the groundbreaking techniques unveiled in that movie have since become old hat. Witness the 360-degree multi-camera action shots that have shown up in everything from commercials to \"Shrek\" to \"Charlie's Angels.\"\nThere will also be plenty of special effects, including the virtual land of Zion and the world of the machines, fantastic creatures who do battle, and acts of superhuman strength, Gaeta said.\nInterestingly enough, one of the most highly anticipated sequences in the trilogy's next installment -- a freeway chase against the flow of traffic -- could not be generated in a computer world, at least not yet.\nSeven lessons from 'Thor: The Dark World's' box-office...\nWith 'Thor: The Dark World,' Kat Dennings hammers out a new...",

Indian Prime Minister P. V.

Now, the U.S. and European 'consumer' countries are joining the battle to keep men from seeking young prostitutes overseas.\nJuly 13, 1994 | CHARLES P. WALLACE, TIMES STAFF WRITER\nEarly last year, a retired Swedish civil servant was arrested during a police raid in the beach resort of Pattaya and charged with molesting a 13-year-old boy in his hotel room. As is common in prosecutions involving child prostitution in Asia, the case never went to trial. Instead, the 66-year-old Swede, Bengt Bolin, was released on $4,000 bail and fled the country. Because Sweden has no extradition treaty with Thailand, it appeared that his legal problems were over.",

        "raw_content": "Yesterday in class, we had a discussion about poetry. We discussed what poetry was, what the difference between poetry and prose was and the characteristics of poetry.\nI learnt things such as poems have a definite structure and don't need to be grammatically correct while prose's were the opposite. Poems use descriptive language and use literary tools such as metaphors, similes and personification. Poems are also written in stanzas and there are many different types of poems such as haikus, acrostic poems and limericks.\nI don't think poetry is always shown through poems. There can be poetic lines in a story, or a picture could look poetic. What about a song, or a movie?\nI think analyzing poetry can be fun sometimes depending on the type of poem since it's kind of like reading between the lines. It would be really confusing though, if you didn't know what was going on in the poem and what it was about.\nI don't really like reading poetry or listening to poetic things so I don't have a favorite work of poetry but I hope to get into poetry more and start reading/listening to some as well.\nJust now in class, we learnt a lot about analyzing poems and definitions of words related to poetry such as stanza, lineation and economy of verse. We also tried breaking up a poem that was mushed together.\nIt wasn't as bad as I expected it to be and it was sort of fun reading the poem and trying to structure it properly.",

        "raw_content": "A few additions to yesterday's post on the Beatles: Alan's surname is Williams, and you can see his artwork here. Kevin Hunt also sent me a link to this page about the Beatles' homes across Liverpool, which clarifies a few things.\nI promise I won't write about the Beatles any more, though they do have a habit of creeping up in conversation. I was in the pub last night having a huge conversation about the Beatles with Dan, when we both suddenly realised that neither of us either a) cared about the Beatles or b) knew very much about them.\nThis is Superlambanana.\nIt is a piece of public sculpture, designed by Taro Chiezo, commissioned for the Art Transpennine Exhibition of 1998. It is seventeen feet high, and made of concrete and steel. I found all that information at the Superlambanana fansite.\nThe site promotes products related to Superlambanana, mainly mini-replicas, including this Beatles design...\nTasteful no?\nAnyway, I'm getting ahead of myself really. The reason that there are products to buy, and people who would buy them, is because in 2008, a project called Go Superlambananas was launched by the public art production company Wild in Art as part of the Liverpool's year as the European Capital of Culture.\nThis is from the website.\n\"For ten weeks during this summer, hundreds of thousands of tourists, visitors and residents had fun exploring the city and discovering 125 Superlambananas, beautifully created by artists and communities from Liverpool.\"\nAnd I must also say that most of the information I have about this is from a piece of writing by Penny and Dan called Mutiny on the Periphery, which is published in Culture and Agency, Contemporary Culture and Urban Change, ed. Monica Degen and Malcolm Miles, University of Plymouth Press, 2010.\nSo basically, a load of fibreglass copies of Superlambanana were placed around the city, artists were paid to decorate them, and companies sponsored them, and were allowed to wrap them in company colours. They formed a sort of trail around the city, and people would walk around the city 'discovering' the mini-superlambananas in different situations.\nMost of them were auctioned off - with a lot of the money going to local charities, but a not insubstantial chunk going back to the organisers, Wild in Art. Wild in Art are not a charity, and, I presume, were already paid for the production and management of the superlambananas.\nWild in Art have produced and managed several other events along the same lines as Go Superlambanas. Including Go Elephants in Norwich, another event in Merseyside called Go Penguins, and my personal favourite, a project with pigs in Lalin, Spain, called, Lalin Pork Art.\nHere is another quote from the Wild in Art website, about the Go Penguins project.\n\"Liverpool\u2019s Go Penguins event was a huge success, with over 500,000 people visiting the trail over the ten weeks, plus a further 4,000 more coming to bid a fond farewell to their beloved penguins at the special auction preview at St George\u2019s Hall. Generating a whopping \u00a35.6 million in media stories, the event enjoyed incredible celebrity support, with Paul O\u2019Grady, Johnny Vegas, Graeme Le Saux, the cast of Hollyoaks and Liverpool legend Ken Dodd among those getting behind the event.\"\nThere are a few things I don't like about that statement. Firstly, when did getting Graeme Le Saux and Ken Dodd involved in a piece of public art ever make it successful? Secondly, what does '\u00a35.6 million in media stories' mean? Those figures, at best, are invented, the worth of the project to the city is overblown, and the idea of parades of fibreglass animals being distributed around a city for seemingly no reason is presented as an intrinsically good thing.\nSuperlambanana was not a brilliant piece of art, but it did have a critical function - it was designed as a comment on the genetic modification of food (lamb-banana, fish-tomato). The Go Superlambananas 'event', and the other replicated Go events have no such critical basis. Wild in Art have taken a piece of art and turned it in to a palatable piece of marketing.\nIronically, the Go Superlambanas have become an unofficial, and unlikely, icon of the city. A few of them were 'generously donated' to local charities or community groups by Wild in Art (a direct quote from the website - by generously donated I assume they mean paid for by the local council and centralised government funding), so some of them are hanging about, generating publicity for the company who were paid to make them.\nLiverpool council must have bought one for Liverpool Parkway (which I wrote about yesterday - sort of a fancy bus shelter-cum-train station for people travelling from the airport to the city).\nI suppose I did take a picture, but hopefully it won't become part of Wild in Art's perpetual marketing cycle.\nLater on, we were in a take away, and I noticed this.\nI did actually have that deal. I also bought some chips, but I'm not sure how relevant that is.\nI suppose all this sounds a bit curmudgeonly (I always wonder where that word comes from, is the curmudgeon a medieval grumbling bird?). I'm not trying to shit on the superlambananas, or their adoption by the people of the city as a mascot. It just seems unfortunate that the way the 'events' were managed benefited Wild in Art - a private company - in real, monetary terms, way more than they benefited the city, despite all the talk of 'media value'.",

        "raw_content": "Burnt mounds are mounds of heat-shattered stone, often crescentic in shape. These mounds are almost always found on the banks of a burn or stream. Excavated examples tend to date to the Bronze Age (around 2500-700 BC). There are over 1900 recorded burnt mound sites in Scotland, with the highest concentrations occurring in Shetland, Orkney, Caithness, Sutherland, and Dumfries and Galloway. Less than 3% of the recorded burnt mound sites have been investigated, and their exact function remains unclear.\nBurnt mounds are believed to be the by-product of heating large amounts of water. The mounds of fire-cracked stone often surround a central trough or pit which may have been lined with clay, wood or stone. It is believed that this pit would have been filled with water and hot stones thrown in; the stones would shatter as a result of the sudden change in temperature. The shattered stone was later scooped out and dumped in the area around the pit or trough, resulting in the mounds that we see today. The exact function of these sites remains a mystery, but they may have been for bathing or cooking.\nFor more information, use the links to the right to download Historic Scotland\u2019s leaflet on prehistoric settlement or English Heritage\u2019s leaflet on burnt mounds.",

Our services last around 1 hour, and are followed by a time for refreshments and conversations in Wesleys Caf\u00e9.\nYou can find out who is going to be leading each Sunday morning worship by clicking HERE\nWe aim for our services to be joyful and relevant to modern life; offering comfort to those in distress; hope for those who are anxious; and a challenge to us all to lead more compassionate lives in the footsteps of Jesus. As an Eco-Congregation, we encourage preachers and worship-leaders to incorporate care for the environment into their worship planning.\nOur services are led by a variety of people so styles of worship include both modern and traditional forms. We are not afraid to experiment and encourage church members to assist in the preparation and delivery of worship\nWe are a broad church, encompassing those who are filled with doubts and questions as well as those who have a strong faith.\nIn recent years, we have engaged in a series of annual study periods, following the materials available through \u201cJesus-Shaped People\u201d programme. We have found new inspiration and commitment through a close study of the example and teachings of Jesus, and are proud to be a Jesus-Shaped Church (link to JSP piece) We have found that the questions and challenges which Jesus posed 2000 years ago are just as relevant today.\nCommunion is offered during morning worship on the third Sunday of each month, and on special Sundays, such as Easter. On these Sundays, worship may last a little longer.\nIf you are confined to your home and would like communion to be brought out to you from time to time, please contact link to Ministers\nMusical accompaniment within worship is provided by a rota of pianists and organists.\nThese are: Roy Copley; Ros Cunningham; Chris Flecknoe; Ashley France; Claire Nott; Caroline Pollard.\nWe sing a range of both modern and traditional worship songs and hymns. The words are projected on to the screen at the front of the church.\nThe hymn book which we use the most is the Methodist Church\u2019s most recent Hymn Book, \u201cSinging the Faith\u201d.\nSometimes, our women\u2019s singing group, called \u201cHarmony\u201d enhances worship by introducing us to new worship songs. To contact Harmony by clicking HERE\nWe also have a \u201cBand\u201d which plays several times a year to accompany worship. The Band is led by Heather Clark-Coates. Anyone who plays a musical instrument, both young people and adults, are welcome to join the Band. To contact THE BAND click HERE\nPrayer after the end of worship\nIf you would like someone to pray with you, or just be silent with you, after the close of morning worship, we invite you to go through to the Prayer Room where a volunteer from amongst our church members will be waiting to meet you\nOur Church and its many activities cost a lot to run. Every penny counts.\nAt some point during the worship, the \u201ccollection\u201d or \u201coffering\u201d will be announced by the worship leader. Bags will be circulated around the congregation, to receive any donation that people wish to make to support the work of our church and the Methodist Circuit within which we operate.\nHowever, please do not feel you have to donate!\nYou will notice that many others do not put anything into the collection bags as they pass round. This is often because they have made arrangements to give regularly to the church by standing order rather than in cash.",

        "raw_content": "Who cares about ISO 704?\nThe next standard to talk about is ISO 704 \u201cTerminology work\u2014Principles and methods.\u201d It is an interesting one for a variety of reasons. For one, I have more questions than answers.\nAt the TKE (Terminology and Knowledge Engineering) Conference in Dublin, my esteemed colleagues, Hanne Erdman Thomsen, Sue Ellen Wright, Gerhard Budin and Lo\u00efc Depecker will devote a workshop to \u2018Accommodating User Needs for ISO 704: Towards a New Revision of the Core International Standard on Terminology Work\u2019. I will have a short time slot to provide input myself and therefore have been re-reviewing ISO 704 over the last few days.\nAs I am putting my thoughts together, I was wondering: Who knows or uses ISO 704? I would like to invite you to do two things: Click on the little survey below in this posting. And, if you haven\u2019t done so, please tell me about yourself by participating in the survey on the Survey tab. Both surveys are anonymous and might help me understand what this standard could do. If you know the standard and have something to share about it, please leave a comment below. I would be very grateful to get your input.\nBecause, quite frankly, I am puzzling over this standard. I have read it three times over the past year and every time after a few weeks go by, I have to think about what this standard is actually for. I believe it stems from the fact that it is a bit wordy at the moment. It contains a lot of good information, but the presentation is ineffective.\nBut now, what can it do for the reader? As its title says, it lays out the various principles underlying terminology management. For example, it tells us what objects, concepts, concept relations and concept systems are. It then goes into definitions and definition writing, before the subject of designations is discussed. Remember, this little graphic from What is a Term? As an aside, we talk about terms many times when we actually mean designations; in German, we even find the ugly Anglicism Term and its plural Terme.\nSo, ISO 704 really does do what the title says, it presents us with principles and methods. It just doesn\u2019t seem to stick with me. Yet.",

        "raw_content": "Lee Jinyoung from i-Clue Design has developed a smart do it yourself system that lets users create their own shoes. Called the Klem project, it was formed to address the widespread need in Malawi, Africa for individuals who need the most basic of items \u2013 shoes. The designer was driven by an awareness of communities that live on a daily basis without these necessities.\nReportedly, in many parts of Malawi aid can be responsible for as much as 40% of a family\u2019s overall living expenses, so the extreme poverty level does not allow many to afford shoes. Going shoeless everyday can increase susceptibility to infection and disease, and exposure to the elements and unsanitary conditions can make heighten the vulnerability. If medical attention isn\u2019t received, other issues can also develop.\nChildren are especially at risk, and not wearing shoes under these conditions can even irreversibly harm the feet, setting them up for a lifetime of podiatric issues.\nKlem shoes are made with fabric and portions of recycled tires. The template for the shoe doesn\u2019t require a lot of material, and they are designed to fit snugly around the feet. The shoes are not complicated to make after some practice, and any textile, fabric scraps or available resource can be utilized to form them.\nImage source: i-cluedesign.com\nPractical research went into getting the open design concept up and running, which included a market study in the area to understand what would be most beneficial for local inhabitants in terms of materials, production and continued development. Open design initiatives set people up with information and local resources in order to facilitate a need, and sustainable business models like Jinyoung\u2019s can create a system that allows independence and frees communities from being tethered or reliant on others.\nAssessing a real world need and then addressing it with a smart design is so much more than just developing a product.\nThe Klem design project can be seen on designboom.\nWritten by Leslie SmithPosted in Design, FashionTags: Africa, Business models, Children, design, Design project, Do it yourself, Fabric, Klem shoes, Malawi, Open design, Recycled, Shoes, SustainableJanuary 23, 2014",

        "raw_content": "Natural minerals can be of great benefit to a country if extracted responsibly.\nIt is unfortunate that in the developing world, more especially the African region, precious metals have been the source of grave ruin in the form of warfare and injustice.\nNatural resources are also increasingly causing environmental concerns in unregulated or under monitored territories, where illegal mining has become the order of the day.\nIllegal mining generally involves the extraction of natural minerals without a valid permit to do so, or contravening conditions set forth in a valid permit.\nThe scourge of illegal mining will usually occur where there once was a legitimate prospecting and/or mining operation. When it becomes unprofitable for companies to continue mining a certain area, they will leave an open shaft or any other form of access for any person to enter the mine in a bid to extract what may be left of mineral deposits to be sold in the black market.\nThe blame in this regard can be assigned to both the government and the mining companies.\nThe role of government is to ensure that companies comply with environmental plans which will set out the necessary measures to be effected once a mine shuts down its operations. This would (or should) include ensuring that the mine cannot be excavated by unqualified individuals. Companies must play their part by ensuring that the community in which it once operated is not left in a situation worse than before the area was mined.\nThe activity that lay people engage in may spell ruin for the environment in that such people pay no regard to the effect of their illegal exploits on the natural environment. It is however rather difficult to lay blame on people who engage in illegal mining. Their ignorance coupled with pressing socio-economic issues warrants a pardon for their activity. In law we usually say that economic necessity is no justification, however from a social point of view it is the government that must protect people from themselves.\nPoor communities must be taught of the dangers that come with illegal mining, not just on their lives but the environment too. Perhaps corporations must also play their part in not dealing with unlicensed precious metal traders.\nWritten by Thobisa SimelanePosted in Ecology, Economics, Policy, SocietyTags: Companies, Environmental policies, Illegal Mining, Land degradation, Natural ResourcesAugust 28, 2013\nHalting The Sands",

        "raw_content": "Filed Under centralized, church, church 3.0, decentralized, hierarchy, Jerusalem, leadership, models, neil cole, traver dougherty\nA helpful e-newsletter from Dr. Traver Dougherty\nSince I had the privilege of sharing organic church principles alongside Neil Cole last weekend, I figured now would be a good time to share a little something out of Cole\u2019s recently released book, Church 3.0. Although the book is exemplary, one particular discussion had me turning the pages a little faster than normal.\nQUESTION/TOPIC IN FOCUS: If the church (ecclesia) functions best as a decentralized missional force, how do you explain the overtly-centralized Jerusalem church?\nExcerpted from Church 3.0 by Neil Cole\nOf all the churches in the book of Acts, I personally believe the Jerusalem church to be the poorest model and one we should be cautious about following. Of course, there is much to learn in the opening chapters, and I would not discount the beauty and power that was evident there. The success of the church in Jerusalem is legendary, and I will not take anything away from it. I would add that it was short-lived and localized. Within just a few years, the church plateaued and began its decline; soon it descended into a cesspool of ugly bigotry, gossip, slander, and legalism (Acts 21:20).\nWhat went wrong? One could argue that they quickly centralized and established a hierarchical leadership chain (Acts 6:1-6). They also welcomed in new \u201cconverts\u201d from among the priests (Acts 6:7), which of course is not a bad thing (even Paul was one), but something else occurred. They allowed a Judaistic legalism to saturate the church and choke out all health (Acts 21:20) (2010:101).\nAfter the excerpt above, Neil (my friend) continues with this assessment: \u201cI personally do not believe that the demise of the church was strictly because of structural issues or hierarchical development\u201d (2010:101). On this point, Neil and I agree. What I\u2019d like to expand on, however, is the way in which the \u201clegalism\u201d took place (Acts 21:20). Before unpacking the concept, however, consider F.F. Bruce\u2019s take on the downfall of the Jerusalem church (to read the whole article, click here).\nThey were too concerned with cultural uniformity\nThey played it too safe\nThey allowed for the integration of Jewish customs\nThey were too exclusive; that is, they wanted to keep those who didn\u2019t follow Jewish customs out\nNow, let\u2019s look at Acts 21:20, 21. Here\u2019s what we need to know. At no time did Paul teach against circumcision or Torah. Paul did, however, fight against the traditions of the Pharisees. As such, notice that F.F. Bruce sites the integration of Jewish customs and not adherence to Torah as that which caused the Jerusalem church\u2019s demise. Thus, following Torah wasn\u2019t the downfall; instead, it was the infiltration, the mixing, of rabbinic tradition with that which is good and true and right that crippled the ecclesia in Jerusalem.\nHere\u2019s my point. As disciples of Yeshua (Jesus), we need to have an accurate understanding of cause and effect. While legalism did cripple the Jerusalem ecclesia (which is Neil\u2019s point), it wasn\u2019t a heartfelt adherence to Torah that did the crippling. To press the point even further, consider that the word church means, literally, circus (bounce houses and Easter Bunnies come to mind). And when do things become circuses? Simplistically, it\u2019s when we replace God\u2019s instructions/wisdom with what seems right in our own eyes (Isaiah 5:21).\nTraver Dougherty (bio)",

        "raw_content": "Powering Change In The Workplace | How the simple desk has transformed the workplace\nHow the simple desk has transformed the workplace\nFrom your desk, to hot desks, to no desk. A look at how office technology has transformed the workplace, and how to manage these changes successfully.\nThe concept of having your own desk has been around for decades. If you worked mainly with paper and computers, you had a desk. A small area within a workplace that was \u2018yours\u2019. Yours to put up pictures, have a personal mug and somewhere to stash those mounds of papers.\nAround 30 years ago, the growing ubiquity of the desktop computer changed the nature of work. And many years on, technology has advanced so much that most people don\u2019t even require a desktop computer to fulfil their job role anymore. Laptops, iPads and mobiles have enabled us to work more flexibly, from wherever we need to.\nAverage desk utilisation is just 38%\nWork is no longer confined to the office. In fact a Condeco study in 2014 found that average desk utilisation is just 38%, reaching a peak utilisation of only 64%. Meaning that collectively, over one third of desks are never used at all. And with workstations costing \u00a35,000 per year, that\u2019s a massive amount of money wasted year upon year.\nThe era of the hot desk was formed. Desk sharing schemes allowed businesses to reduce their costs and increase their utilisation at the same time. The only challenge was to combat this feeling of lost ownership, \u2018their desk\u2019.\nLockers help by giving people a place to store their equipment and belongings, as well as desk booking technology to properly manage the change in culture.\nIt\u2019s important to remember that hot desks are not necessary for every employee. There are three different types of worker:\nFixed \u2013 People in the office every day who have high levels of desk utilisation\nFlexible \u2013 People that don\u2019t continuously work at a desk or work part-time\nMobile \u2013 People in regular meetings throughout the day or are often working out of the office\nA lot of fixed desk workers will want to keep their desk. They have \u2018their\u2019 space, amongst co-workers they know, and disrupting that environment will be unproductive and upsetting.\nFlexible and mobile workers will be much more susceptible to a shared desk scheme, as they don\u2019t feel as attached to an individual desk and where they sit.\nAnother factor to consider is the younger generation of workers. There is a huge rise in flexibility amongst these workers, who are starting in offices not needing their own desk at all. A big proportion of these workers prefer the \u2018coffee culture\u2019, whereby they work from sofas or at a bar table. These collaborative and communal environments are becoming key for businesses to retain and attract fresh, young talent.",

He said he was on his way home for curling and when I asked what time it was, he said that it was five minutes to 6pm. Oh.

I did talk to a good friend of mine, which was fantastic (I've missed her a lot) and I watched some tv but that was it.

I feel a lot better now and think tomorrow will be normal, but it is also normal that the Pamidronate causes some tiredness. Anything that causes tiredness seems to knock me right out for a while.\nOn the bright side, I got my birthday present from my mom - two books on advanced sewing techniques!!!!!

        "raw_content": "I had a wonderful day visiting with a friend of mine. She moved out of the area to go to school and although we've tried to get together, our schedules just didn't connect. Today she came here and we spent the bulk of the day together.\nAfter showing her around the house and yard and chatting in our living room, we went out for lunch. We'd wanted to go to The Raintree Cafe but they were full so we went to Rude Native instead. It used to be an ok restaurant but their lunch menu is not what they were. I had the burger, which was supposed to come with brie, bacon, mushrooms, and an aioli. I don't like mushrooms so I ordered the burger without any and for some reason, without checking with me, the chef put a lot of lightly sauteed onions on the burger.\nI took one bite, and then another, and then I scraped all of the onions off. I tried to eat the burger after that but the almost-raw onion flavour had got into the brie and it tasted really awful. Had the onions been caramelized I think it would have worked but the slimy, almost-raw onions with the brie were disgusting.\nFortunately, a manager was coming over to check on our experience just as I was scraping off the onions so my displeasure wasn't unnoticed. She was very apologetic and gave me half-off my meal. She also talked to the chef and found out that he had made the decision to put onions on the burger on his own; I hope that he won't do that again. Sauteed mushrooms cannot be replaced by lightly sauteed onions.\nSince I didn't finish my meal I wasn't anywhere near full, so my friend and I decided to have some dessert. We went to Symposium, our usual dessert place, and had some very yummy desserts. Unfortunately, there was only one wait-person on duty while we were there and it was busy. The table of three hot girls managed to be seated, served, and gone between the time we got our dessert and left. Sadly, we didn't receive any attention from the waiter in that time because the other tables (especially the three hot girls) demanded his attention.\nAt least the company made up for the rather disappointing dining experiences. My friend and I talked and talked and talked and talked and I know that I had a great time and was so happy to see her and spend time with her. If I hadn't needed a rest before metalsmithing, I'd have loved it if she stayed longer but I was quite tired. I hope that we'll be able to get together again this summer.",

        "raw_content": "Pairs and Mates \u2014 Two are better than one\nTwo are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up the other; but woe to one who is alone and falls and does not have another to help. Again, if two lie together, they keep warm; but how can one keep warm alone? \u2014 Ecclesiastes 4:9-11\nIn this section of my reflection I will turn to two questions: Are men and women actually complementary on a physical basis? (we have already seen that they are not complementary on a human or moral basis) and Is complementarity a necessary component of a committed sexual relationship?\nIn the previous section I demonstrated that there is no difference between men and women in their both being fully human. This is not, as some might think, so obvious when one looks to a tradition that had no difficulty following Aristotle in referring to women as \u201cdefective males.\u201d (De Gener. Anim., II.3) Aquinas applies this to individual women:\nAs regards the individual nature, woman is defective and misbegotten, for the active power in the male semen tends to the production of a perfect likeness according to the male sex; while the production of woman comes from defect in the active power, or from some material indisposition, or even from some external influence, such as that of a south wind, which is moist, as the Philosopher observes... (ST I.Q92.1)\nIt is true Aquinas allows that in the collective women were not defective, but were rather \u201cpart of nature\u2019s intention directed to the work of generation\u201d \u2014 which he believes to have been the sole purpose for the generation of woman qua woman. As he says earlier in this same article:\nIt was necessary for woman to be made, as the Scripture says, as a helper to man; not, indeed as a helper in other works, as some say, since a man can be more efficiently helped by another man in other works; but as a helper in the work of generation.\nAt this point some might be moved to raise the question, why should we pay any attention to a moral theology based in large part on the defective science of Aristotle, enshrined in the Church\u2019s teaching through the absurd speculations of Aquinas? It is a very good question \u2014 since if people cannot be trusted in earthly things how are they to be trusted in heavenly things? And if their moral vision is bound and confused by defective biology, why should anyone trust their theology? (John 3:12)\nThe reason I bring this up is the remarkable persistence such baseless notions seem to have. Even with advances in science, and a better understanding of the actual nature of human reproduction (which, contrary to Aristotle and Aquinas has nothing to do with moist south winds!) there still persists in many circles a kind of archaic folk sexuality functioning alongside scientific knowledge, and often displacing it when moral questions are brought to the fore.\nTo put it bluntly: Men and women are only complementary in the archaic view of an ancient world innocent of the rudiments of biological science, or at the sophomoric level of tab and slot.\nThe creation account in Genesis 2, in its suggestion of partial complementarity (woman being derived from man and restored to him), is a part of that archaic world view. We should no more feel bound fully to embrace a literal view of Genesis 2 on human biology than we do Genesis 1 on cosmology. To over-literalize either creation account, is to fall into the disciples\u2019 error in thinking Jesus\u2019 warning about the \u201cleaven of the Pharisees\u201d was in reference to bread; or Nicodemus thinking that to be born again he would have to enter his mother\u2019s womb. The inability to understand mythic or figurative language as myth or figure, or to accept the fact that even in divinely inspired Scripture God\u2019s message is conditioned and limited by human fallibility creates a huge obstacle to coming to a true understanding of the moral principles involved \u2014 and risks making the faith even more irrelevant to the world as it is bound up with notions that are demonstrably false.\nWe need constantly to be reminded, it seems, that the female of the human species was not created from a man\u2019s rib. Or from a moist south wind. Reading poetry as prose is as bad as bad science, and the pre-scientific world was restrained by boundaries to the understanding of reality itself \u2014 boundaries we are no longer forced to observe; indeed we would be very foolish to observe them.\nThe ancient world did not know much about sexuality beyond the crude mechanics of \u201cthe way of a man with a woman.\u201d They knew almost nothing of the actual reproductive function. The prevailing view was that the male seed (zara\u2018, sperma, semen) was planted in the receptive female where it took root and grew; but the seed itself was the source of the person that would be born. It was commonly believed that human semen contained miniature human beings. This erroneous concept held sway until modern times in some places, in spite of advances in microscopy, which in its early days falsely attested to sightings of miniature animals and people in the corresponding sperm! This view is reflected in Hebrews 7:9-10: \u201cOne might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.\u201d\nSome observant naturalists of the ancient world, noting that the menstrual flow ceased once pregnancy became obvious, believed that the embryo was compacted from the menstrual blood rather like cheese curdled by rennet. This view is reflected in Wisdom of Solomon 7:2. These are just two examples of the profoundly limited archaic view of sexuality.\nSo, given that much of the understanding of sexuality from biblical, patristic and scholastic times was based on errors of fact \u2014 and hence must call into question some of the conclusions reached \u2014 what might a better understanding of human sexuality lead us to?\nNot complementary but mutual\nFirst of all, let me acknowledge one thing about which Aquinas is correct even if he phrases it infelicitously. Procreation is one of the reasons for the existence of the sexes as sexes. I cannot join Aquinas in proclaiming it to be the sole reason for the sexes; nor can the general principle be held as binding on particular cases, as I laid out in my earlier essay on procreation. There I demonstrated that sex and procreation are not necessarily bound up with each other \u2014 that they are, on the contrary, actually separable both by purpose and by nature. Aquinas, of course, did not know this \u2014 he was unaware, for example, of the naturally infertile period during menses \u2014 or failed to take what he did know seriously, and apparently did not read any significance into menopause, of which he was surely aware. (Gen 18:11) This ignorance in itself raises serious questions about the bulk of his conclusions, and subsequent moral theology following his line of thinking on matters sexual.\nBut with our better understanding of human reproduction, we can affirm that even in procreation the process is not complementary, but mutual \u2014 the man is not \u201ccompleted\u201d by the woman, nor the woman by the man, but rather each contributes an identical number of chromosomes \u2014 one from each set of pairs they possess, so that a half-set of chromosomes from each can pair up with their mates in the fertilized ovum. Thus men and women are different, but not by any means complementary \u2014 male and female do not contribute to or complete each other, but mutually contribute to the generation of the new human being. The only place complementarity enters into the picture iswithin each chromosome, in the DNA molecules themselves \u2014 but this has to do with truly complementary base pairs, not with male and female, as it is true even in species that do not reproduce sexually.\nStill, in spite of this fact, people will fixate on the crude schoolboy level of tabs and slots, as if this represented the true locus of sexuality \u2014 or indeed as if these were the only tabs and slots with which the human anatomy is provided.\nWhat, after all, are the \u201csexual organs\u201d? Surely the external genitalia \u2014 the only parts of the sexual paraphernalia even remotely \u201ccomplementary\u201d in that crude sense of tab and slot \u2014 are not the source of sexuality. One might well say that the brain is a sexual organ; and when one looks beyond the clearly sexual gonads, themselves part of a larger complex of organs, one sees that between men and women there is remarkable congruence rather than complementarity, even when the function of a corresponding organ is no longer essential to procreation. The male breast or the female glans and prostate (clitoris and Skene\u2019s glands) have functions as much geared towards the erogenous as the procreative.\nThere comes a time, as Saint Paul said, to \u201cput aside childish things.\u201d We are still not perfect in our understanding of human sexuality, but surely we do know things now that place some of the beliefs of the ancient world and the later church into the same realm as tales of the stork or the cabbage patch. Until we set aside some of the fables of the past, we will not be able effectively to address the concerns of the present.\nEvery beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his neighbor. All flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will cleave to his like. Ecclus. 13:15-16\nHowever, I still think much can be learned even from our sacred source material, as long as it is read as sacred text rather than as literal history or science. So I would like to return to Genesis for a moment to address another common assertion of the heterosexualist agenda: that the \u201cdifference\u201d between men and women is crucial to the licitness of sexual love.\nAlthough Genesis 1 (with its emphasis on procreation) partakes of the archaic and crudely anatomical distinction of the sexes (the words for male and female meaning roughly \u201cmemorable\u201d and \u201chas a hole in it\u201d) Genesis 2 moves towards a more unified view of man and woman (ish and ishah). Even though this represents a folk etymology (and a folk biology) the emphasis is not on the distinction of the sexes but on the likeness of the man and the woman. It is their similarity, not their difference, that is important. One might well observe that Genesis 1 emphasizes the likeness of the couple to God, Genesis 2 the likeness of the couple to each other.\nAs I have noted in previous sections of this reflection, God\u2019s \u201cintention\u201d in Genesis 2 seems to be at least as much based on Adam\u2019s needs as on God\u2019s \u201cplan.\u201d God\u2019s intent, in Genesis 2, is to address Adam\u2019s solitary condition; and God only chooses to create woman after the animals prove to be unsatisfactory companions. It is human companionship that Adam requires \u2014 the help of one like himself.\nYou made Adam, and for him you made his wife Eve as a helper and support. From the two of them the human race has sprung. You said, \u2018It is not good that the man should be alone; let us make a helper for him like himself.\u2019 (Tobit 8:6)\nIn short, the man and the woman form a pair; they are mates; and it is clear that both of these words apply to two things like each other as much as to two things unlike each other. And in Genesis 2, the emphasis is on the likeness. In this sense, far from being complementary, the man and the woman are like the two blades of a pair of scissors \u2014 that work together because they are like each other.\nMost importantly, the relationship they form is mutual, like joining with like \u2014 much as one joins right hand with right hand in the sociable interaction between two people, and in the marriage rite itself \u2014 the same hand, not the opposite one \u2014 in a pledge of mutual joy, in which the mutuality is as important as the joy. Their mutual union does not imply the literal disappearance of the two persons here any more than it does in the love of neighbor. (It is perhaps instructive to compare the similarity of the advice in Ephesians 5:33 and Romans 13:9.) The mutual union is the beginning, not the end, of a life-long relationship.\nSo it seems clear that not only is there no true complementarity between the sexes, but that the relationship of the sexes is not based solely on the differences that do exist, but at least as much upon the similarities.\nIn the following sections of this reflection I will take up the remaining \u201cends\u201d or \u201cgoods\u201d of marriage \u2014 the reflective (or symbolic) and the preventative (\u201cas a remedy for fornication.\u201d) I will also address the question of whether a same-sex couple can experience the mutual joy in unity enjoyed by mixed-sex couples.\nIt will be noticed that I have \u201cbacked into\u201d this discussion from the point of view of marriage, rather than beginning (as is the usual course) with the alleged prohibitions on same-sexuality. I promise I will address those concerns at last, but my initial intent has been to challenge the presuppositions surrounding sexuality itself before engaging with the rather better-traveled paths of the seemingly endless discussion.\nThe discussion continues with 6. Clash of Symbols.\nTags: adam and eve, BVM, genesis, marriage, marriage equality, procreation, reason, reasonable and holy, science, sexuality\nTobias, one would think from your essay that your opponents' problem is that we cling to that idea that the east wind is still intervening in conception.\nAnyone familier with St. Thomas know that he is always at his weakest when trying to reconcile Christian doctrine with the science of his day. It is certainly an object lesson for our own attempts to reconcile the perceived differences, and to note that St. Thomas would have been truer to the Christian faith by staying with the \"myth\" rather than trying of reconcile the \"science\" that asserted the \"defectiveness\" of the female.\n(I should note for those who continue to be shocked that the term \"defective\" conveys many different and far more sinister connotations in English than the original more technical use of the terms by the philosopher and theologian. But let that pass.)\n\"Thus men and women are different, but not by any means complementary \u2014 male and female do not contribute to or complete each other, but mutually contribute to the generation of the new human being.\"\nHere it seems you are simply making a distinction without a difference. Men and women are \"mutual\" but not \"complementary\"? What is the difference, the point being that there is a unique necessity of the pairing of male and female for \"baby to make three\"?\n\"So it seems clear that not only is there no true complementarity between the sexes, but that the relationship of the sexes is not based solely on the differences that do exist, but at least as much upon the similarities.\"\nNaturally. Men and women are all human beings. We don't have sex with monkeys, or beanstalks, or rocks and minerals. Men and women are alike, except with respect to sex. But I thought that that was the point.\nIn any case, if where you are going is the assertion that the differences between the sexes are not \"essential,\" but \"accidental,\" then those terms are Aristotelian. We may know what you mean by them, and you can certainly make the argument, but it is a conclusion that is far outside the realm of modern physical science.\nThe problem with Thomas A lies in the fact that he uses the errors of his day as evidence in his replies to the objections raised in his scholastic argument. Thus, his conclusions are suspect. If someone bases his case on evidence later shown to have been false, then the case must fall under re-examination.\nDefective, in the philosophical sense he uses it, means \"lacking.\" This is part of his false complementarity argument -- that women \"lack\" something made up for by men. This is an error, as his own Christian sense should have told him.\nI believe I have already addressed your objections (the same ones you keep raising without elaboration). There is a distinction between \"difference\" and \"complementarity\" that I laid out with great care earlier.\nI have also addressed the limitation of sexual activity to the procreative act, and have acknowledged the need for male and female for procreation (at least until biological science permits the fusion of nuclei from two men or two women, a possibility that is not as remote as some might think, and which is theoretically possible. Not that I argue for it, I merely note that it is a possibility.) On the positive side, I have not seen anyone address the significance of the Incarnation -- the fact that God chose to enter the world as a human being apart from the normal course of procreation. The larger issue, which I've also amply laid out, and to which I still await a cogent response, is how nonprocreative sex between a man and a woman (one or both being infertile) is moral, while nonprocreative sex between persons of the same sex is immoral -- on reasonable grounds, that is, beyond simply restating the premise that same-sexuality is wrong.\nAnd yes, the difference between men and women is accidental, in the philosophical sense. I think I have already said that. Yes, it is a matter of philosophy -- but there is a poisonous root based in Aristotle's bad science that allowed it to bear its foul fruit in Aquinas, in his supposition that the basic \"humanum\" is male, and that particular women \"lack\" something. This is, of course, heretical, since it ultimately denies the Incarnation -- in which all that is human in Christ comes from Mary (a particular and not generic woman), and if she \"lacked\" anything she could not bestow it upon her Son. Q.E.D.\nI've been reading this since you've started it, and i have to say, the whole piece upon completion might be a good lecture series.\nOne thing about \"complementarity.\" When I think of that word, I do not confine it to male/female ... i believe there is a good dose of complementarity (ie, making complete) in male/male and female/female relationships, but it takes place on a different level. Neither part of the couple is incomplete by themselves, but rather, the couple is even MORE complete when they are together...like the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, i suppose. Maybe you did mention this, and i have missed it...if so, please point it out.\nThe same happens, of course, in male/female couples.\nI suppose my point is, that each part of the couple (whether that couple is heterosexual or homosexual) does contribute and complete the other in some way, but that contribution and completion does not mean that the \"parts\" of the couple are incomplete without the other.\nTobias, in my sophomoric manner, I'm still somewhat fixated on and tickled by your tabs and slots description. I know. I lower the tone of your comments, but a little levity, on occasion may not be totally out of order.\nWe women have suffered long enough from the writings of Aristotle and Aquinas, with their tossing around of the word defective, however near to innocuous the term is defined by Rick.\nContemporaries of mine who attended Roman Catholic seminaries were taught that women were \"occasions of sin\". No wonder some of the priests acted strangely in encounters with women. Not all RC priests took this nonsense to heart, but enough of them did that we felt the sting.\nYour mention of the Incarnation is vital to the discussion, because the man, as biological father, is totally out of the picture - not necessary - absent from the scene.\nThen, too, the instances of parthenogenesis in the animal world all occur in the female of the species.\nSo. What then do we women \"lack\"?\nI've gone a little off topic, but the effects of the errors have been far-reaching with respect to women.\nR.B.,\nThanks for the comment. My concern with \"complementarity\" is the way it is stated generically (\"men and women are complementary\") but then applied particularly.\nCertainly individual people lack some things -- not everyone can play the piano. And some of the things that one person lacks may be compensated for by their partner in life. But I would prefer to see that as supplementary rather than complementary --- which is precisely why it adds up to more than just the sum of the two. to use the previous example, if both play the piano you have piano four hands!\nThe other problem is that the reality that all people lack something or other (since no one is perfect) gets twisted by sexism when it takes the form of a generic defect -- that is, a defect inherent in a whole class of people; in this case women. Honestly, the only thing women lack is a Y chromosome, and if they had one they would be men! Perhaps that is the ultimate solution to Prof. Henry Higgins' lament.\nG.M. (and Mary Clara who commented on the earlier post) thank you both. It is horrifying to me the extent to which sexism has harmed women, quite literally, over the years. It is only in this generation that the male-dominated medical profession finally acknowledged that women suffer from heart disease in the same proportion as men. Even more appalling, though the existence of Skene's glands (the periurethral glands) have been known to correspond to the prostate in men for some time, it was apparently only recognized in the early part of this decade that women can suffer from the same sorts of conditions as men (the equivalents of prostatitis, benign prostate hyperplasia, and prostate cancer) and with much of the same symptoms --- but that these symptoms and underlying disease processes had been until recently largely dismissed as \"feminine troubles\"! Sexism is lethal.\nAnd I cannot take credit for the image of tabs and slots -- that was actually suggested as a defense for the complementarity of the sexes by a commentor to this blog in response to an earlier section of this reflection.\nHonestly, the only thing women lack is a Y chromosome, and if they had one they would be men! Perhaps that is the ultimate solution to Prof. Henry Higgins' lament.\nI might add that rather men lack a part of the X. The Y chromosome due to this lack leaves us open to a great many more genetic diseases, etc.\nTobias, to carry these thoughts a little further: The ideology of complementarity can indeed be deeply damaging to women, and today causes much suffering to heterosexual men too, as well as to same-gender lovers. We have to remember that theologies have all been propounded and enforced by men, who in just about all known societies have had the power to define reality and to dictate woman's role and identity. It is only in very recent times that women have begun successfully to assert our experience, our view of truth (both sacred and profane) and to define ourselves on our own terms.\nThe complementarity myth holds that woman should find her satisfaction in pleasing the male sexually, being faithful to him, bearing and rearing his offspring and so forth. It is assumed that she is built in such a way that she will be fulfilled by giving a man what he wants and receiving what he wishes to give her. Male and female are imagined as fitting together like tab and slot, not only physically but emotionally, spiritually and psychically. But this is far from being the case. Just to consider the physical level, the two sexes have different erotic rhythms, their sexual and reproductive peaks and valleys don't occur at the same ages, the female orgasm is not arrived at in the same way as the male's, and so on.\nIt is only when women begin to have power in the world that these facts can be acknowledged and a different basis for relationship imagined and negotiated. It has been hard for women all these millennia to be subjected to this unrealistic ideal (and to the bad science that went along with it), and it is hard for contemporary men as well as women to come to grips with the fact that we don't 'fit' perfectly, we can't (despite the ideology of romantic love) fill up all the empty places in each other. The empty places are the spaces in which we can actually grow psychologically and spiritually (the cracks where God can get in!). And we can do that partly through relationship, but it is not of the essence that that should involve a pair-bond with someone of the other gender.\nI am afraid I am still unable to see what is so shocking and demeaning about the notion that women lack something necessary for reproducion. It seems quite true--a thousand women cannot produce a baby in the absence of a man. It also seems equally obviously correct that the same is true of men, that we are also lacking in that one area, and we alone are equally incapable of bringing life into the world, unless you want to count Dr. Frankenstein and his modern day wanna-bes. How this simple biological fact is offensive or oppressive is far beyond me, as is the growing contemporary insistence that it must never be considered in ordering our social arrangements or laws respecting children.\n(It was no coincidence, I think, that Dr. Frankenstein was the creation of a woman. The hybris of men, our outrage that we ourselves are \"defective\" in that sense, finds its consequence in that cursed character.)\nHere is a nice summary of St. Thomas on men and women, from the same section:\n\"It was right for the woman to be made from a rib of man, first, to signify the social union of man and woman, for the woman should neither \"use authority over man,\" and so she was not made from his head; nor was it right for her to be subject to man's contempt as his slave, and so she was not made from his feet. Secondly, for the sacramental signification; for from the side of Christ sleeping on the Cross the Sacraments flowed--namely, blood and water--on which the Church was established.\"\nI am sorry if this beginning seems undignified to some, even in a story few of us feel compelled to take literally. Was it made to put women down? Not, I would say, if we read it in context, and see that St. Thomas understands the first man to have been formed from slime.\nBut, returning to the main argument, how a need of men and women for each other in order to bring children into the world makes them less than human is an argument I am not grasping.\nI meant that comment somewhat tongue in cheek; but it is quite true that one can reverse the imagery and view the Y chromosome as a distorted and deficient X missing one of its legs, and leading to testosterone poisoning!\nThank you, Mary Clara, for the further testimony. It is indeed tragic that some men (probably most) still see women as accessories or properties, and not simply as people. One of the things same-sex couples can, I hope, teach the world is that biological reality need not determine one's personal or interpersonal reality. This is probably, in fact, why so many fear or disapprove of same-sexuality: it challenges the neat hierarchies and categories that give them security.\nYour ability to see will always be conditioned by your desire to learn. No one, including me, is challenging the reality of biological reproduction. What I am challenging is the degree to which that reality is amplified or hypostasized beyond its reality into a defining or mythic reality, particularly one that marginalizes all other forms of human interpersonal sexual relationship that do not fit that model.\nIt also amazes me that you seem to be unaware of the extent to which the Christian teachings enshrined and codified by Aquinas (based in large part on over-application of the Genesis mythology) have had actual detrimental impact on women. I invite you to read Mary Clara's comment. The fact that these arguments are still used in the RCC as a means to prevent leadership by women is just one example of the extent to which teachings such as the one you cite (what Aelred of Rievaulx called the \"collateral\" place of woman with man) are sidelined (or, as Aquinas would say, represent the antelapsarian ideal which is not realized in this world in which woman is \"naturally\" placed under man as a result of the Fall -- and so women must maintain a subservient position).\nYour side-trip into Frankenstein is interesting -- you may recall that even the monster desired to have a companion, a friend, like himself. Not for the purpose of reproduction, but for companionship. This element of the story was highlighted in the two films produced by the gay director James Whale. There has been a good bit of \"queer theory\" examination of these films, as a portrayal of the gay male of the early 20th century: the maker's rejection of the monster as a form of internalized homophobia; the monster's first acceptance only by a blind man as a commentary on the closet; the monster as child-murderer and disruptor of marriage; the monster crucified by the ignorant mob; the monster moved by beauty but incapable of creating beauty himself -- it is a rich mine of psychosexual and psychosocial angst.\nOf course, the original novel, by an unconventional and liberated woman author, also serves as a social commentary on the an earlier time -- and the fate that befalls a New Prometheus who challenges the gods of his day.\nRick Allen:\nThanks for your thoughtful comments here. The big weakness of this series of posts is the strawman arguments the host has constructed to represent the traditional Christian position. Your comments have filled in admirably for what has been missing.\nThis is such an excellent series. Keep it up man.\n\"...you seem to be unaware of the extent to which the Christian teachings enshrined and codified by Aquinas (based in large part on over-application of the Genesis mythology) have had actual detrimental impact on women. I invite you to read Mary Clara's comment.\"\nWhat the effect has been of Christian doctrine on the status of women is a very large question that covers a great deal of history. I assume you consider that it has been mostly detrimental. I see the question quite differently, and, frankly, wouldn't choose to continue a Christian if I believed the faith such a harbinger of hatred and oppression.\nMary Clare's \"myth of complementarity\" may indeed exist out there, but, as she describes it, it has little to do with Aristotle or Thomas Aquinas or Christian doctrine per se. The Hollywood notion of perfect romantic love, the fairy tale notion of \"happily ever after,\" the conception of the perfect \"soul mate\" who is one's perfect companion, are all pervasive in our culture, but they are hardly identical with Christian teaching. Indeed, the whole notion of matrimony as sacramental rests on the notion that special grace is needed for the trials, responsibilities, and difficulties of marriage--for men as well as for women.\nJust yesterday I was wondering if the offending term appeared in the Catholic Catechism, and I found it used here:\n\"372 Man and woman were made \"for each other\" - not that God left them half-made and incomplete: he created them to be a communion of persons, in which each can be \"helpmate\" to the other, for they are equal as persons (\"bone of my bones. . .\") and complementary as masculine and feminine. In marriage God unites them in such a way that, by forming \"one flesh\", they can transmit human life: \"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.\" By transmitting human life to their descendants, man and woman as spouses and parents co-operate in a unique way in the Creator's work.\"\nWhether the net impact of Christianity (or many another religion) has been beneficial to humanity is indeed a very large question. However, your response does not actually answer the question, and I hope you would at least acknowledge that some Christian teaching on the role of women in society has had some detrimental effect. While it is doubtless true that the religious life provided women for centuries with a way to have a life of some independence, there were faults even there -- and for women living in the secular arena, I think it fair to say that up until very recently the net impact has been experienced as negative. Neither of us being a woman, I would defer to a woman's perspective on this.\nMoreover, your citation from the Catechism rather proves than disproves my point. It is characterized by false (or at least unproven) assertions and idealized notions: that \"man and woman are made for each other\"; that \"masculine and feminine\" are \"complementary\" (I thought they were grammatical terms -- and they certainly aren't complementary in grammar!); that the \"one flesh\" has something to do with the transmission of human life (ignoring 1 Cor 6:16, and the plain fact that not all unions can or do transmit life); distorting the actual Scriptural text which does not describe the man and woman as \"helpmates\" to each other. Only the final clause could stand as a satisfactory statement; and even that is probably more \"romantic\" than strictly theological, since the parents' \"cooperation\" in this -- while unique -- is essentially trivial. (It reminds me of the remark sometimes made in these discussions, \"Everyone who exists came about through heterosexual intercourse.\" That is obviously true, and I don't think anyone challenges it -- except when it is somehow transmuted into an argument against same-sex relationships; which, as I am trying to show, does not follow. One might just as well say, All of Rembrandt's paintings were painted by Rembrandt as part of his unique contribution to the creation in co-operation with the spirit that inspired him. That does not rule out either other artists, or other paintings. There are other \"goods\" to sexuality than the production of children -- as even the church admits.\nThe existence or goodness of X does not automatically rule out the existence or goodness of Not-X. If Not-X can be show to partake of some of the similar values, or participate in some of the same goods, as X, it is on that basis it should be judged. I have already demonstrated (and reminded us that the church teaches) that procreation is not the sole good of marriage, and that marriage is still allowed even when infertility is a permanent condition. If the church were to teach that procreation was the only good use of sexuality, and that sexual activity is only permitted when procreation is possible, that would be a different matter. But that is not what the church teaches. To that extent, I am simply seeking to remove one of the arguments against homosexuality (that it does not lead to procreation) from the table. If you agree that the procreation argument is specious, fine. Then let it be removed from the table. If men and women really aren't complementary (in the sense of completing each other, or one completing the other) then accept the fact that the Catechism is either mistaken or is using the word incorrectly. You seem to be saying you don't see what all the fuss is about; and frankly, neither do I. The problem is that people keep raising the arguments of procreation and complementarity when they attempt to critique same-sexuality. (Robert A.J. Gagnon relies on these to a very large extent, continually returning to them. If these are \"straw men\" I am not the one who is setting them up. And if you agree that these are beside the point, then let us move on.)\nFinally, I must add that this \"current teaching\" is not quite the same as that of the earlier Catechisms, which emphasized female inferiority and subordintation. I suppose we must all move with the times.\nRick, I'm sorry, my friend, but what comes to mind is, \"There is none so blind as they that won\u2019t see.\"\nIf you can't see that your own church and, to a large extent, most Christians denominations are as yet riddled with gynephobia as well as homophobia, then I don't think I can help you see. The churches have come a way, but they have a long way to go.\nIn marriage God unites them in such a way that, by forming \"one flesh\", they can transmit human life: \"Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.\"\nI'm an old lady. I can no longer transmit biological life. Am I no longer one flesh with my husband of 46 years, because I can't produce a baby?\nOK, that's my last feminist word on the subject. I see my words and Mary Clara's words as not so very much off topic, as I think the prejudice against women and the prejudice against gays and lesbians are interconnected, and both are rooted in unreasonable fear.\nIt is, I suppose, a sign of how polarized we are that any assertion of any difference between the sexes is automatically taken to mean the \"inferiority\" of women, and that the chief good that Christianity is recognized to have granted women was in allowing their relative independence in monastic communities, as if the touchstone of Jesus' teaching were independence rather than love.\nNor do I find the right to be ordained the end-all and be-all of Christian aspiration, much less the touchstone of personhood. Jesus could not have been a priest in his own day; he was born into the wrong tribe. So far as I can tell he uttered not a word about it. I have the greatest respect for the clergy, and certainly recognize their necessity in the church. But becoming clergy is not what following Jesus is about.\nMimi, I suspect that the natural cessation of fertility has something to do with the normal need for us to continue to help our children until they reach adulthood (and, I suppose, to allow us the satisfaction of seeing them making all the mistakes we made). I know from your blog that you have continued to be a good mother to your children.\nIt does seem the fashion these days to attribute all opposition to blindness, obstinacy or fear. I think that that papers over real differences in how we see the world, and tends to blame the other for my own lack of persuasiveness.\nNo one here has denied the existence of \"differences\" between the sexes. What is being challenged is the significance given to these differences and their portrayal as complementary. Nor am I accusing you of holding women to be \"inferior\" to men. But I do hope you are not denying that there was a time when that was the official teaching of your church; just as it was an official teaching that celibacy was morally superior to marriage. The problem, in case you are unaware of it, is the tendency to allow one's understanding of biology (in this case, a misunderstanding) to shape social structures that lead to a determined role in society based on sex.\nI am certainly not claiming the priesthood to be a \"touchstone of personhood.\" But one of the rationales advanced for excluding women from this office was their \"natural inferiority\" and incapacity for leadership. This excuse is not often advanced in these more enlightened time, but that doesn't erase the reality. So I have a simple question: do you deny this reality from the past, and its impact on the present?\nWhat I am getting at I shall expand on in the next section -- the way in which fixed ideas about the roles of the sexes (ideas which have no rational basis but are the result of cultural attitudes) play a large part in both the status of women and the negativity towards gay and lesbian people.\n\"What is being challenged is the significance given to these differences and their portrayal as complementary.\"\nI think that's right. We really don't differ as to science. We differ as to the meaning of these structures, which science is not competent to interpret for us. It can tell us what is, but not what ought to be.\n\"fixed ideas about the roles of the sexes (ideas which have no rational basis but are the result of cultural attitudes)\"\nWhy do you assume that \"cultural attitudes\" have no rational basis? Of course culture and tradition have a role here. But why assume that they are in opposition to reason?\n\"Nor am I accusing you of holding women to be \"inferior\" to men. But I do hope you are not denying that there was a time when that was the official teaching of your church.\"\nI am certainly unaware of any \"official teaching\" of female inferiority. I can't say I'm all that familiar with everything from the ecumenical councils, but I would think that the veneration of Mary suggests that there's nothing inherently \"inferior\" about the feminine. For myself, who was raised Protestant, I find that praying to Mary rather increases my reverence for and appreciation of the feminine.\nBut then I think you equate \"inferiorty\" with any difference in role, which I don't.\n\"...just as it was an official teaching that celibacy was morally superior to marriage.\"\nI don't think that \"morally superior\" quite gets what was taught at Trent.\nIt is not a sin to have possessions. But it is better to sell all that you have and give to the poor--even though most of us are not capable of that degree of discipleship.\nIt is not a sin to remain free in your vocation. But it is an extraordinary sacrifice to give that up for the Kingdom, to enter into a vow of obedience.\nAnd marriage is not a bad thing. But surely we can recognize that those who give it up for the sake of the Kingdom have done something extraordinary, and I for one don't begrudge recognizing the extraordinary sacrifice of those who taken it on, just as I give credit to those, mostly in monastic vocations, who give up wealth and freedom.\nWhat is it, after all, that Americans prize, more than money, sex and freedom? And why is it so shocking that the Church should follow Jesus in suggesting that there is something greater to be attained, so that some small minority of Christians might give up all these things for a greater good, and that we can recognize the \"superlative\" in their acts without denying the goodness of the life choices of those of us who live so much closer to the ordinary?\n(Very briefly as I am between assignments and travelling):\nWe have narrowed our disagreement to the signification -- which is, in fact, where I have always suggested the difference of opinion lies. I will be expanding on this in the next section, which addresses the \"reflective\" aspects of marriage.\nI wrote about: \"fixed ideas about the roles of the sexes (ideas which have no rational basis but are the result of cultural attitudes)\"\nAnd you responded: Why do you assume that \"cultural attitudes\" have no rational basis? Of course culture and tradition have a role here. But why assume that they are in opposition to reason?\nMy reply: I think you are misreading what I said. It is not that culture has no rational basis, but that some of the \"ifxed ideas about the roles of the sexes\" do not have a rational basis, but rather derive from culture. For instance, to say that women bear children and breast-feed them is a rational statement. But to go from that to an idea that \"women are naturally nurturing\" and then even more to apply this generalization to individual women is a rational error. (It may well be true that some women are nurturing -- many are -- but to derive this from the biology is an example of what you correctly note we agree upon -- science will not tell us what ought to be.)\nAs to past church teachings on the inferiority of women, I think that material is amply documented elsewhere. It was not confined to Roman Catholics. Even Richard Hooker wrote about women being inappropriate as teachers or leaders. And literature is full of this common cultural theme, as in John Donne's advice not to look to women for mental gifts, as they are \"but mummy possessed.\" It is certainly true that this general disregard for women was combined with an exaltation of the Blessed Virgin -- itself an interesting cultural process that kept alive a long-standing male view of women as either saints or whores. Again, there are many studies of this phenomenon, and the dynamics involved in the role of women in Judaism and Christianity.\nAs to Trent, the language I refer to is that celibacy is held to be \"better and more blessed\" than marriage. It does not say marriage is \"bad\" -- but it is inferior -- not just different, but inferior -- according to this teaching. It is true that this teaching is not much spoken of these days, and it was effectively downplayed in the latter half of the last century -- which had no small impact on decline in religious vocations. I know of one RC sister who rather bitterly complained, \"When I was young they told me this was the 'more perfect' way -- now they're telling me marriage was just as good! I feel like I've wasted my life...\"\nTeachings have consequences in the lives of people.\nWe would probably both agree with the Anglican priest Lawrence Sterne, who placed as the motto before his \"Tristram Shandy,\"\n\"tarassei tous anthropous ou ta pragmata, alla ta peri ton pragmaton dogmata.\"\nAs best I can render it, \"The things themselves don't trouble men, but opinions about those things.\"\nUnderstanding the significance or insignificance of differences is a difficult and subtle task. One of the things I love about St. Thomas (and what exasperates others) is his constant recognition of the different senses of terms, of how apparent conflicts can be harmonized with a deeper consideration of their meaning.\nHello. I have been staying away from these discussions because, quite frankly, I just can't follow your arguments. Whether that's on you or me, I don't know.\nI have been married almost a quarter of a century, and have both sons and daughters.\nMen and women, boys and girls are different. It's really quite fascinating watching that.\nWhat your discussion doesn't take into account is all of the studies, that, for example, talk about the need for children to have both a mother and a father? Why? Because there are generalizations (Sterotypes? Archetypes?)that can be made about each sex. Each bring something to the parenting relationship. Partly it's role models, and partly it's the inate nature of the gender.\nMen and women can be civilly equal, equal before the eyes of God, and still be different and complementary to each other, complete each other. I don't know why you don't want to acknowledge that. To say that we are all the same, it's just that some of us have a uterus, isn't something I can subscriber to.\nRick, I do think we could agree on that. As \"Toby\" is a principle character in Sterne's novel, it is one I identify with; perhaps my interest in this present subject parallels Toby's obsession with rampart and glacis. ;-)\nAs to St Thomas, there is certainly a great deal to admire in him. Where I find myself most in disagreement with him, however, is in the area of sex and gender, where I think, to be fair to him, he was very much a product of his time (and the times preceding him). But surely this is where the corrective is most needed. As with Scripture itself, it is possible to carry away great truths while acknowledging the weaknesses -- and it sometimes does mean going deeper to find the root significance of something that on the surface is plainly mythological, or derives from a mistaken view of nature. That is, however, what I am attempting -- to get behind some of the shrubbery that has grown up around issues of gender and sex, many of them based on fundamentally flawed understandings of human nature, and to get to the true moral core of what it is to be a human being, and how human beings best relate to each other as moral agents. I agree with your earlier comment about current obsessions with money, sex, and power -- and see a true understanding of moral agency, based on the true worth of the human being, as a key to addressing these misuses and abuses.\nPaul B., thanks for your comment. I am sure your experience with your children is valuable, but I think it is a mistake to extrapolate individual experiences to become universal truths. I could, I assure you, do the same on the other side, as I know many people who do not fit the neat \"gender roles\" that our society assigns or expects. But I would not apply that universally and say that no one fits, or ought to fit, the \"stereotype.\" Many do -- but that is not the point. The issue is, does the stereotype reflect an underlying reality, or is it a product of culture? Surely you are aware that there are many cultures in the world that structure sex roles and family life very differently than we do in the United States. These are not, in short, universal human realities, but cultural patterns, and as patterns they tend to perpetuate themselves in any given culture.\nAs to the \"studies\" you cite, on the contrary I think the preponderance of sociological studies have shown that it is the quality of parenting, rather than the sex of the parents, that is most significant in healthy child development. I believe studies have shown that children (either biological or adopted) raised by same sex couples are just as well adjusted and healthy as children raised by mixed-sex couples. You might want to review this article: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/514477. You might also want to check out the American Academy of Pediatrics report here. http://www.aap.org/advocacy/archives/febsamesex.htm This study indicates that the main problem faced by same-sex parents -- leading to difficult challenges for their children -- come from the inability to obtain legal rights and civil privileges that come with marriage. If people are really concerned about the welfare of children, it seems that they should be encouraging the legalization of same-sex marriage, as this would provide the hundreds of thousands of children being raised by same-sex parents with an additional degree of security; or at the very least legalized coparenting.\nThese are studies from well respected medical societies or publications. I am leery of studies funded by or promulgated by groups with an obvious agenda, though I am happy to review them. This is an area where flawed (and in some cases downright false) studies can continue to be circulated in spite of their having been rejected by the scientific community. (For example, Paul Cameron's studies of the life expectancy of gay men have been exposed as at best misleading, yet they continue to circulate as if they were sound science.) But this whole question of accurate scientific study is a topic for another time.\nAgain, on your closing note, I am not saying that men and women are \"the same\" -- I am saying that the differences between men and women as groups, or between individuals, are not complementary, by any meaningful definition of that word.\nPaul, I have two sons and one daughter. My two sons are quite different from each other. It's fascinating to watch that, too. My daughter is different from either of my sons. Three offspring, same parents, and each one is unique.\nThank you, Mimi, for cutting to the chase. Part of the problem with the reduction of people to \"classes\" or \"categories\" is that we lose sight of their worth as individuals. Everyone has something in common with everyone else, and yet each of us is a unique child of God.\n\"...this whole question of accurate scientific study is a topic for another time.\"\nIt probably should be, but it bears noting that, such is the prestige of science in our society, we look too often to bolster our morality through such sources.\nThe mere fact that such studies often come to diametrically opposed conclusions, often following the inclinations of their sponsors, should of course tell us something. Having been a lawyer for too many years I am probably needlessly cynical about how genuine scientists can in fact be lead to tenuous conclusions because it is in their interest to go a certain way.\nReal science leads to real, verificable results that will be duplicated when other scientists conduct the same study. But the range of questions that real science can answer is narrow, and rarely extends directly to human questions of religion, morality and politics. That's not to disparage scientific, or non-scientific, studies. But we need to recognize their limitations.\nThe real difficulty with general statements about which group of people makes better parents is that they tend to compare the best and most harmonious traditional family with the more dysfunctional non conventional family structures.\nOf course, no-one believes that same gender couples who spend most of their time clubbing and cruising are likely to be good parents, but neither are many heterosexual families. I suspect if same gender couples had the same documented record of \u201cdivorce\u201d as straight couples, it would be seen as an indictment against any form of same gender parenting.\nSame gender parents who do not have their own children often adopt, and often those very hard to place children who would otherwise languish in state care.\nHaving said that, Rick has a point. It is very important that children have role models from both sexes. This is a real problem for children from heterosexual families too, where fathers often work long hours and barely see their children. In our modern society, where nursery and primary school education is almost exclusively female, there is a huge lack of positive male role models for ALL children. I could cheekily claim that children from all male households are better off than their peers in that respect.\nMy own children are happily settled with me and my female partner. They also have close contact with their father and with our many male friends. They\u2019re very good examples of well adjusted, normal children.\nUltimately, what matters is the quality of parenting, not what gender the parents are.\n\"To that extent, I am simply seeking to remove one of the arguments against homosexuality (that it does not lead to procreation) from the table.\"\nI am troubled by your argument which groups all types of infertility together. Morally, I discern 3 types of infertility:\n1) Infertility caused by the after effects of Original Sin: couples who cannot conceive because of some medical condition as well as couples who cannot conceive because of age. This class of infertility wouldn't even exist but for the existence of Original Sin. AFAIK all Christian churches allow marriage among people with this type of infertility, as morally the condition generally cannot be imputed as a result of personal sin.\n2) Periodic infertility tied to the women's menstrual/ovulation cycle and breastfeeding. Intrinsic to our species by design of our Creator: no evidence that this type of infertility is tied to Original Sin. Forms the basis of Natural Family Planning.\n3) Intrinsically infertile acts such as masturbation and homosexual acts. Not tied to Original Sin: their infertility stems not from aging or defective reproductive systems but from the nature of the acts themselves.\nSeems to me that your argument conflates #1 and #3. That is, because some heterosexual married couples are infertile, procreation/fertility cannot be a relevant factor when determining who may marry.\nI'm not sure I follow your connection of natural infertility at a certain age with original sin. (I take your point as far as disease.) The Scripture does not appear to support the notion that Adam and Eve were immortal by nature -- hence the reference to the Tree of Life. (Gen 3:22-24; some see the Cross as the fulfillment of the Tree of Life, and source of true immortality). On the specific point, I don't think there is any Scriptural evidence that people were intended by God to be perpetually fertile, any more than innately immortal (as opposed to gaining immortality by access to the the Tree of Life). Only in the resurrection do we have an assurance of final immortality -- and in this new life there is no marriage or reproduction, according to Jesus -- this is not simply a return to Eden, but a \"new creation.\" There is no need for procreation in the life of the resurrection precisely because, as Jesus says, \"they cannot die any more.\" (Luke 20:35-36)\nYou are correct, though, that I am connecting your points 1 and 3 -- though I would leave out the discussion of Original Sin as not really related to the issue.\nWhat I am saying is that one may well argue against same-sexuality on other grounds, but not because it is non-procreative; as other forms of non-procreative sexuality are permitted. The locus of the \"sin\" (if there is one) is not bound up with the infertility. I would rephrase the final sentence to say that \"procreation/fertility is not a relevant factor when determining who may marry.\" In fact, in church law it isn't -- that is, even in the RC Canon Law prior infertility is not a diriment impediment to marriage, unless its existence is concealed. Interestingly enough, impotence (the inability to engage in sexual intercourse in humano modo -- as the Canons say) is a diriment impediment. There was an interesting case a few years ago when the Roman Catholic Church barred a quadriplegic from marriage.\nPerhaps it goes without saying that I do not accept the Roman Catholic teaching on the moral status of contraception; it rests on the assumption (thereby begging the question) that the principal end of sex is procreation. On the contrary, I support the Episcopal Church's position that procreation is one of the possible ends of marriage, but not a necessary one.\nContraception itself was not forbidden under Jewish law, and opposition to it in Christianity appears to arise from a philosophical framework influenced by Stoicism, and closely related to opposition to Gnostic, Manichean and Catharist teachings. There has been continued pressure within Roman Catholicism to revise the teaching, especially at Vatican II, but also since then.\nI address the \"ends of marriage\" more generally and particularly in an earlier section in this series: Pro-Creation, which can be accessed from the links in the side column.\nI don't think I understand the difference between intrinsically infertile sexual acts during a woman's cycles of menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and intrinsically infertile acts such as masturbation and same gender sex.\nWhere is the moral difference, when a heterosexual couple deliberately makes use of the infertile periods?\nFr Tobias: Thanks for taking my comment seriously.\nI had assumed that the Anglican belief in the loss of the preternatural gifts due to Original Sin was similar to RC beliefs. The RC belief is that sensibility to suffering and death are results of Original Sin, not simply the result of deprivation from the Tree of Life. We would point to Gen 2:17 as regards this teaching in regards to death.\nIf Original Sin and its effects are seen as out-of-bounds to this discussion, then certainly handicaps the RCC position. OTOH maybe I am mistaken about the nature of these posts. If this is a series of theological posts about same-sex relationships among Christians at large, then I will continue. If this series is about the same-sex relationships within the Anglican Communion, then I probably need to absent myself from the discussion and simply lark since I'm neither well-versed in Anglican theological method nor in your doctrines.\nThe moral difference is that the periodic times of infertility of women are due to God's design of the human race: as they are of divine origin they are intrinsically good. The existence of these cycles don't change the fact that fertility is a fundamental part of who women are as human persons.\nMasturbation and homosexual activity by their nature non-fertile. Even when conducted during a woman's fertile period, they are sterile, and thus completely divorce fertility and sexuality.\nAll this presupposes a sense of the natural moral law, a supposition much disputed within Christianity although central to the (Roman) Catholic understanding of morality. My take as a long-time larker on Episcopalian blogs and websites is that there is no consensus in the Anglican world on the existence of a natural moral law (that's also true on the \"reasserter\" TEC side as well, who seem to be sola scriptura when it comes to morality), so perhaps I'm barking in the wind to no effect here.\nMy concern with bringing in Original Sin is twofold. First, as you know, the doctrine of Original Sin is not universally emphasized in the Christian tradition \u2014 it is an essentially Western concept going back to Augustine; the Eastern Orthodox do not make much of it, and Anglicanism, which shares a good bit of its outlook and heritage (if not its polity) with Eastern Orthodoxy, while acknowledging the doctrine does not give it pride of place, and certainly not as much emphasis as it received in the Reformation.\nSecondly, the doctrine of Original Sin does not advance us very far when coming to questions of actual sin. Thus I can affirm that \u201csin entered the world and through sin, death\u201d \u2014 though death was not in itself \u201cunnatural\u201d and came about through exile from access to the Tree of Life. Thus Adam was not \u201cnaturally\u201d immortal but rather lived so long as he did not sin and thereby come to suffer privation of the divine presence. This view is consistent with the RC Catechism paragraph 376. Thus RC theology does not, as I see it, state that human creatures had bodily immortality by nature, but rather by grace, dependent upon the presence of God.\nPerhaps more importantly, I\u2019m don\u2019t see how the question of Original Sin relates directly to the matters of sexuality at hand, as I find your attribution of certain natural processes to Original Sin to be faulty.\nFor example, I cannot accept your assignment of the natural infertility that comes with advanced age as having anything to do with Original Sin. This is an entirely natural consequence of the functioning of the human body. Since menopause results from the cessation of the production of a hormone, which in itself is also key to the \u201cinfertile period\u201d I fail to see how you can attribute one to Original Sin but the other to \u201cGod's design.\u201d Both appear to be equally part of the \u201cdesign\u201d of the female human being.\nIn any case, as the number of ova formed in the ovaries is finite (and entirely formed in utero before birth, hence, before the possibility of baptism!) there is no question but that infertility eventually has to take place.\nThus, your statement that \u201cfertility is a fundamental part of who women are as human persons\u201d is obviously false: an average woman is only fertile for about 1/3 of her life. She possesses all the ova she will ever have before she is born, though she cannot make use of them until the onset of puberty. One might well more accurately say that \u201cfertility is a temporary condition caused by the action of certain hormones that affect women for part of their lives.\u201d And that is where one of the many the problems with natural law arise. So much of it depends on one\u2019s point of view of what is \u201cnatural.\u201d I can state as a simple physical fact that fertility is naturally separated from sexuality, as part of God's \u201cdesign\u201d of the human creature. God \u201cintends\u201d grandmotherhood and grandfatherhood as much as motherhood and fatherhood. This, rather than the contrary, appears to be \"natural\" and true.\nYou correctly observe that a natural law approach has been more characteristic among Roman Catholic moral theologians \u2014 though even there it does not remain unassailed, and a number even of Roman Catholic thinkers, as well as Protestants and Orthodox, have pointed out the serious weaknesses inherent in a natural law approach. The primary weakness, and this is relevant to the present discussion, is the tendency to assign perceived ends as somehow distinctively or inherently connected to certain structures or processes. Thus procreation is held to be the proper \u201cend\u201d of sex. This position was somewhat defensible in the period prior to the discovery of the \u201cnaturally infertile\u201d period and other knowledge about human anatomy and reproduction \u2014 but to maintain the RC solution in the face of newer understandings seems to strain credulity.\nSo I am perfectly happy to continue the discussion, but I am afraid that you will have to step outside a natural law framework in order to do so, as the natural law tradition \u2014 on this particular subject \u2014 has, I think, been fairly well shown to be unsound, in large part due to its having been based on insufficient, or erroneous, biological data.\nthank you for your reply. I'm not a theologian, so forgive me if I misunderstood you.\nBut your argument appears to be saying that, because most heterosexual couples can, at some points in their lives, produce children, all married heterosexual activity is God given and lawful, even when one or two of them are infertile.\nOn the other hand, same sex couples can never produce children, so all of their sexual activity is never God given and therefore, at all times, unlawful.\nIf I understand that right, it means that, because heterosexual couples are the natural order and God willed, their sexual activity is good, whereas same sex couples are, by definition, not natural (although a certain percentage of homosexuality in all cultures and countries is the biological norm), and are therefore not willed by God and their sexual activity is sinful.\nIt is precisely this presupposition which Fr Tobias is examining, so the presumed morality of different kinds of infertile sexual activity can really only form part of the conversation if his argument results in accepting the presupposition.\nThank you, Erika, for neatly summarizing the problem. It is exactly the presupposition that is under examination, so it does no good simply to restate it. (This is one of the weaknesses of the \"reasserter\" side of the discussion, as the tendency is to, well, reassert.)\nIt seems to me that the moral purpose of sexuality is found in mutual joy and respect, and the enhancement of society both between the couple and in the larger world. This seems to me to be a fairly plain understanding of the human moral mandate towards love and fidelity; and this is a moral value of which same-sex couples are capable.\nProcreation, on the other hand, does not appear to me to have any moral value at all in and of itself, though it can be accompanied by the moral values I describe. But in itself it is a biological process, not unique to human beings.\nAh, but procreation IS a moral issue, it gives us the great privilege of cooperating in the creation of new human beings. Procreation is a natural good proper to marriage and sexuality, not simply a morally neutral biological process. God is pleased when a new human being enters the world.\nSo I (and the RCC) assert, as did most Christians up to the 20th century. And I would even hesitate to add, most cultures around the world up to maybe the mid-20th century maintained that marriage is for children. If we are going to have examine presuppositions, I would think that the new presupposition that separates marriage, sexuality, and procreation should first be examined.\nHowever, either way, I'm going to continue reading this thread, since it is the only thread of its type I've ever read: trying to defend same-sex marriage through philosophical and theological reasoning rather than a simple appeal to human experience.\nAs it looks like a new post on the topic has arisen, I'm going to continue reading there.\nCheers and have a blessed weekend!\nI think you are mistaken if you are saying that the RCC holds procreation in itself to have a moral value or to be a \"natural good.\" It is only a moral good in relation to the context of the relationship in which it takes place. Thus, as itself, it has no moral value -- but it can be a blessing in a faithful relationship, and a tragedy in a case of rape or incest. Can you present a citation from the Catechism that shows otherwise? I think you will find that the teaching expects procreation only to occur within the context of marraige, when it is, indeed, valued and good. (But speaking philosophically, a thing which is only good in certain circumstances cannot be held to be good by nature. Thus procreation is not a natural, but a situational good.)\nI have examined the \"presupposition\" concerning the separability of procreation and sexuality in an earlier segment of this series, \"Pro-Creation.\" To me it is self-evident that the two are separable, though in that essay I give numerous examples. You are, even in terms of RC teaching, mistaken in saying that \"marriage is for children\" at least to the extent that if a marriage doesn't produce children it is no less a marriage in the eyes of the church. It would be more appropriate to say, \"the procreation and upbringing of children is a particular good of marriage, although parents without children are also fully married.\" That, I think, reflects the doctrine a bit more accurately.\nI welcome your continued input on this matter, though I suggest that some real precision will be needed about this and related questions. There are many default conclusions to which people will move, which, on closer examination are not quite completely accurate. This nuance is important if you are to follow the argument I am making -- even if you disagree with it.\nA blessed weekend to you as well.\n\"I think you are mistaken if you are saying that the RCC holds procreation in itself to have a moral value or to be a \"natural good.\"\nThere is perhaps this from JPII's encyclical The Gospel of Life:\n\"Aware that God has intervened, Eve exclaims: \"I have begotten a man with the help of the Lord\" (Gen 4:1). In procreation therefore, through the communication of life from parents to child, God's own image and likeness is transmitted, thanks to the creation of the immortal soul.\"\nIt is indeed a tragedy when a child is born out of wedlock, from rape or incest, when the child is deprived of that which he or she has a right to, loving and caring parents. But that does not make the child's life any less an inherent good, an image of God in the world, a human life of inestimable value.\nYes, I think that is certainly the direction John Paul II was heading. It is problematical, still, especially when language about \"creation\" comes to play -- since only God is creator, and the parents are at best the agents. Still, I think the pope is clearly thinking about Adam and Eve here -- and thus procreation within the context of the primeval marriage.\nSo while I agree that each human life is of supreme value, that does not necessarily mean that the act of procreation that leads to that life is in and of itself \"good.\" I think, rather, that it is clear that a process in itself bad can sometimes lead to a good result. Thus one might regard a birth from even a rape as being a kind of felix culpa.\nOn the other side lies the recognition that illegitimacy was held to be an impediment to ordination; as it was to participation in the congregation of Israel. (Dt 23:2) This does seem to reflect on the nature of the procreation in question. Clearly the act of procreation itself can be a moral \"evil\" -- and thus at best morally neutral in and of itself.\nFinally, even in speaking of the \"good\" of the human being in birth, it was said of at least one, \"it would have been better had he never been born.\"\nSo I will stand by my statement that procreation is not a natural moral good, but rather a moral neutral.\n\"Thus one might regard a birth from even a rape as being a kind of felix culpa.\"\nTo someone firmly grounded in normal life and faith, and only interested in theology as a hobby, this sort of statement shows just what is wrong with convoluted theology done in the rarefied echelons of accademia.\nThe logic is there, I grant you. But this is just the kind of view that has led the (celibate male dominated) RC church to be seen as hostile to women, lacking compassion and lacking any understanding of the true horror of the birth of a baby whose whole existence is a daily reminder of a rape. The resulting God espoused by the church is not very appealing.\nThe rape can be survived, the baby even accepted eventually. And, if the woman is truly extraordinary, she may also love the child without resentment. But \"felix\" culpa?\nI'm really with you on this Erika, and I that this is at the outer edge of possibility. I'm speaking here from my hope that a child born of rape would not be abandoned or burdened with the wrong of which she or he is innocent. My hope that good can come out of wrong remains, though it doesn't make the wrong itself good. I should have phrased my statement more clearly -- to clarify that it is the child who might be seen as good, not the act of forced procreation by which the child came to be. This is fundamentally why I disagree with the position that procreation is a moral good in itself. Rape is always wrong, and that it can lead to unwanted procreation makes it worse, not better. The child her or himself, though, is as a human person to be valued as good, and not blamed for the rapist's crime. Sorry I wasn't clearer.\nI see Rick Allen is back in the conversation. Excellent.\nThe conflation of conception and childbirth made here under the term \"procreation\" is not how I would morally address the issue.\nRape is an intrinsically evil act.\nFornication is an intrinsically evil act.\nChildbirth is a moral good, even if the act of fertilization that started the process of pregnancy was evil.\nIllegitimate births are situation I encounter all the time in my particular pastoral work. In Catholic sub-cultures where illegitimacy is high (e.g. U.S. Hispanics) we make this distinction all the time: it is sinful to have sex outside of marriage, but it is good to bring the resulting baby to term.\n\"...this sort of statement shows just what is wrong with convoluted theology done in the rarefied echelons of accademia.\"\nIt wasn't my statement, but I have to say that the statement is hardly theoretical to many.\nI once knew a young woman who was conceived through a violent rape. For her this was a very important affirmation of Catholic teaching, one that she talked about, that her own coming-into-existence, though the result of a terrible crime, was in itself a good thing, and that her life was not somehow \"morally neutral.\"\nThere is certainly no compassion in finding anything horrifying about her very existence. And she found very appealing the notion of a God whose compassion didn't impute to her the guilt or penalty of the terrible way she came to be.\nFr Michael, and Rick,\nI do think you are both continuing to confuse and confound procreation and birth. They are really two entirely different things, though obviously related. I have not suggested that the birth of a human being is anything other than a moral good (although I note the testimony of Job and Jesus to the contrary). I don't know how you would reconcile this with the traditional Roman Catholic prohibition of ordination of a child conceived out of wedlock. (I think that rule may have been changed in the new code.) But I see each human being as supremely valuable, not in their procreation, but in their being. And I have never suggested otherwise.\nBut the act of procreation itself, when carried out in a circumstance of rape or incest cannot be conceived as a moral good. Again, I would welcome a citation in support of this assertion. To me it seems to be entirely wrong, from a moral perspective, and derive from an \"ends justifies the means\" sort of ethic.\nI realize procreation is a major concern for Roman Catholics. But I think I have made my primary point in the earlier article, to wit: procreation is not inseparable from sexuality. The two are separable by nature, or by design (even without the use of artificial means). Marriage does not require procreation for its licitness, that is, the ability to procreate is not required for marriage. This is, I think, consistent even with current RC teaching. I can assure you it is consistent with Anglican teaching.\n\"There is certainly no compassion in finding anything horrifying about her very existence.\"\nI maintain that her mother must have been the most extraordinary woman if she was able to give her daughter such a positive sense of identity.\nNone of us should find anything horrifying about the daughter's existence, but for the mother to find it not in the least horrifying requires a moral strength, a faith and a deep love that are truly rare and definitely not the norm for pregnancies resulting from rape.\nBut I'm off topic, sorry!\n\"I don't know how you would reconcile this with the traditional Roman Catholic prohibition of ordination of a child conceived out of wedlock.\"\nI don't know for certain, but would guess that that prohibition came out of the Gregorian reform, to keep prelates who couldn't quite keep their vows from putting their children into rich livings. Didn't always work, of course--see Alexander VI and Cesare Borgia.\nBut the problem, I think, wasn't some inherent problem with illegitimacy, but a problem with church corruption, addressed with a very broad remedy. But it's a historical question that'd be interesing to check on.\n\"But the problem, I think, wasn't some inherent problem with illegitimacy, but a problem with church corruption\"\nif we're staying off topic...\nwhatever its origins, it certainly had a huge influence on the church.\nIn my own family there is an illetigimate child conceived between a married father and a woman he met briefly. The father's wife immediately made friends with the woman and introduced the child to her children who treat her has their natural sister. The father's catholic parents to date refuse to accept the child, saying that their priest agrees that the girl cannot be accepted because her conception was immoral.\nWhatever you may think of this - the view itself is surprisingly common still.\nPerhaps we are fighting over nomenclature here.\nIn RCC moral theology the fact that a moral good can be perverted to evil doesn't make the specific good in general morally neutral.\nTo give a simple example outside of the present topic, eating is a moral good, even though gluttony is a capital sin.\nTo apply this line of thought to the present argument, procreation can be considered a moral good (as opposed to morally neutral) even though some conceptions occur in immoral acts such as rape and illegitimacy.\nI'm going to take a break here and reread\nI'm going to reread the earlier posts of Fr. Tobias since I don't seem to understand how he so easily separates procreation, sexuality, and marriage.\nGod bless, FrMichael\nErika, do I understand correctly that the parents claim that there is something immoral about accepting the girl because she was conceived in an adulterous relationship that their son entered into? Seems to me tht if they really believe in shunnng sinners they've missed the obvious target. And if their priest truly believes the child culpable because of the sins of her parents, I can only say that the infallibility of priests is not an article of faith (nor, I should add, the infallibility of pontificating laity on the web).\nSeriously, if there is any imputation of fault to illegitimate children, I'd be interested in knowing the source. I haven't found any, other than the old impediment to ordination, which originated, I think, with Urban II in the eleventh century, which would have been directed against the foundation of ecclesiatical dynasties by supposedly celibate clerics, not against illegitimacy per se.\nPerhaps you can liven up the Thanksgiving dinner conversation this fall by asking these Catholic parents where exactly in scripture or tradition is it established that a father may be excused from his paternal responsibilities so long as he enters into them by means of adultery.\nI would accept your word for what RCC moral theology says if you could provide a reference. Surely the traditional view on sexuality and procreation, at least since St Augustine, held that every sexual act was to some extent tainted by original sin --- as, indeed, in Augustine's system, it is by means of procreation that original sin is transmitted. The traditional view, then, was that sexuality and procreation itself partook \"of the nature of sin.\" (This made it into the Anglican tradition via Cranmer's being heavily influenced by Augustine.) While it is true that the current edition of the catechism has played down this element in the tradition, you can find it amply articulated in earlier writings, in which procreation, far from being a moral good, is the means of the transmission of original sin.\nAs I said earlier, I do not emphasize the doctrine of Original Sin in my own thinking, though I acknowledge it's existence. I would prefer to see procreation as a moral neutral in itself, and sexuality similarly -- that is, the moral value lies in the context, the intent, and the actors -- which, I think, is the actual teaching of most contemporary ethicists, both within and outside the RCC. Same-sexuality is precisely condemned, in this case, because of the actors; birth control because of the intent; etc.\nI don't know that the RCC teaches that \"eating is a moral good\" that can be used for ill. It seems to me, regardless of what Rome teaches, that it is rather a moral neutral, that can be well or ill used. There is more to morality than simple acts divorced from their context.\nThat being said, the comments here have gone rather off the thread with wanderings into the malfeasance of medieval clergy and the response of Urban II!\nI think I'm going to ask that we draw the other conversations to a close, and if there is nothing more to say about symbolism, move on. Thanks for the input and thoughts.\ngarydasein said...\nThis discussion seems intendedly more philosophical than biological, but I'm surprised that some striking discoveries of biology haven't figured more prominently -- given the \"natural law\" preoccupations of the Romanists.\nI refer to the discovery that all human beings begin in female form, and some of them, those with XY chromosomes, are altered in development by hormonal action in a masculine direction. (Some texts say that homosexual males have been \"incompletely masculinized,\" but in fact, there is no Platonic male ideal they are trying to emulate -- each person develops as they develop, and if they are functional, they live.) God didn't create human beings male and female; God created female, male, and everything between (including intersex).\nBiology also shows that females carry the XX chromosome and males the XY, with the Y being a one-legged X. It's been found that females are genetically sturdier because they have two Xs as backup -- males, lacking one leg of one X, have only the resources of their one complete X. So St. Thomas was wrong -- it is the male who is lacking.\nMythologically, then, God created Woman, and seeing it wasn't good for her to be alone, gave her the Man to help and protect her and her children. But the Man, using the strength and imagination he was given for his assigned task, turned rather to domination and control. As the tribe increased, God sent individuals who would stand outside the system of male domination and mate seeking, who could contribute to the welfare of the group as a whole, who could be friends to both male and female without sexual or hierarchical tension, and who, in fact, have been the major creators of the tribe's stories (myths) and songs. Procreation continues the tribe; it is the arts that make us human.\nMudduck (as I am often called on the Web), the lawfully wedded husband of garydasein.\nGeoff McL. said...\nI quote Mr Allen: \"Tobias, one would think from your essay that your opponents' problem is that we cling to that idea that the east wind is still intervening in conception.\"\nBut that's precisely the problem. You've disavowed the faulty Aristotelian and Thomistic pseudoscience in which your position originated, but you wish to maintain your position all the same. It's a matter of eating your cake and having it too: indeed, your position would be more internally consistent - and respectable - if you _did_ accept the pseudoscience.",

        "title": "VoIP for Dummies: Phone System Basics Covered",
        "raw_content": "Posted by Andrew DeAngelis - 22 May, 2018\nModern business owners have to wear a lot of hats; by that, we mean entrepreneurs have to fill many roles in order to build a thriving company. Long gone are the days when a business owner could afford to specialize in just one area of expertise. Instead, if you want to find sustained success in business these days, you need to have at least a cursory understanding of a myriad of tech, marketing, and economic subjects. With that in mind, today we\u2019re going ease some of the stress associated with running a small business, and provide a quick-and-easy-to-grasp resource on VoIP phone technology. Consider this your beginner's guide to VoIP, or alternatively, VoIP for dummies.\nFirst of all, VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol. (But If that doesn\u2019t clear up what VoIP is or what it does, don\u2019t worry \u2013\u2013 you\u2019re not alone.) Essentially that means that Hosted VoIP is a phone system that\u2019s connected to your internet. Unlike traditional landline systems that still run on copper wire and operate through the phone company, VoIP systems work with the power and flexibility of the internet. So rather than being constricted by typical phone limitations, VoIP systems have the ability to offer businesses across industries numerous advantages and benefits.\nWhy Should I Switch to Hosted VoIP?\nVoIP technology is tailored toward addressing modern business needs, from implementation all the way through its many advanced features. First, VoIP installation is a breeze; you won\u2019t have to struggle for hours trying to hook it up, but instead can plug and play relatively quickly. From there, your employees will gain access to a catalog of benefits from remote connectivity with coworkers in other states, to voicemail-to-email security backup to ensure you\u2019ll never miss an important phone call again. Furthermore, VoIP phones are designed for flexibility and scalability. So any time you need to take your work on the road \u2013\u2013 or if your business is ready to expand \u2013\u2013 a VoIP system will enable you to do so smoothly and efficiently.\nWhat are Some Advanced VoIP Features?\nNot only do VoIP systems cover the basics (ultra reliable, high-sound quality, easy access and implementation), but they also allow progressive business owners to tap into a number of extra features. This ranges from cloud-communication solutions to CRM integrations. Additionally, when you sign up for the VoIP app, you\u2019ll be able to connect to vital business information no matter where you are.\nDid we mention that in addition to all of these practical and impressive innovations VoIP systems are also extremely cost effective? Unfortunately, there\u2019s a lot of ground to cover with VoIP phones, and it\u2019s impossible to truly see what they can do without experiencing them for yourself. Contact the Votacall team to take that first step and learn from the VoIP experts firsthand. Plus, if you\u2019ve been pondering this decision for a while now, make sure to check out our free eBook and see how VoIP phones provide financial as well as technical advantages to your business.",

        "raw_content": "Sci-Fi Friday Movie Review: THE HUNGER GAMES\nThe Hunger Games (film) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)\n(The first part of this review contains minor spoilers for The Hunger Games novel. The second speaks about a few departures/additions the movie made. Proceed with caution if you haven't read and seen both!)\nIn August, 2008 I first started hearing about The Hunger Games. Three and a half years later, that amazing story I heard about and loved passionately has finally made the leap to the big screen.\nNaturally, I needed to see this movie ASAP. Not only do I love The Hunger Games, but I love going to midnight movie screenings in general. There's something invigorating about sitting in a theater with a bunch of other super fans, and knowing that there are thousands of people around the country (at least in your time zone), doing the exact same thing. At the exact same time you are, they are also seeing Katniss volunteer as tribute, Effie sniff about manners, Peeta paint himself into a tree, and Rue...\nOh, Rue.\nDirector Gary Ross does an amazing job showing, and not telling, in this film. That's kind of a weird thing to think about, because aren't movies inherently about \"showing\" as a visual medium? But what I mean is that he relies on his audience to pick up on the subtext of character actions. Katniss spends a lot of time in her own head in The Hunger Games - she's a taciturn person by nature, the book is narrated in the first person, and she spends chunks of time in the Arena by herself. That doesn't leave a lot of room for natural-sounding dialogue. Ross recognizes that and just allows Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss to perform as this girl, lost and scared and fighting for her life and to make her little sister proud of her. Katniss doesn't say anything when she figures out the trap the careers have laid, or why she creates the memorial for Rue, or say anything about being terrified before entering the tube to be taken to the Arena. That's a moment that sticks out in my mind, for the amazing scared rabbit look Katniss gives, when the countdown begins.\nAlmost every actor is superbly cast in this film. Jennifer Lawrence truly inhabits Katniss, of course. Josh Hutcherson is sweet and vulnerable as Peeta, and the two play off of each other well. My husband commented at the end at how well the pair played off their love story: nothing needed to be said about whose affections were real and who had been putting on an act. It was all there in their faces.\nStanley Tucci is awesome as Caesar Flickerman, and the script gives him several extra commentary scenes to justify casting such a fantastic actor in what is a rather small role in the books. Donald Sutherland is imposing and conniving as President Snow, who also had a few extra scenes written for him. Woody Harrelson is charismatic as hell as Haymitch, which is quite a departure from the books. As I explained to my husband, Harrelson's Haymitch is a joy to watch, filled with subtlety and depth...and not nearly as much liquor as he should have had. This Haymitch is not exactly the Haymitch of the books, but he's so excellent it hardly matters. He's another actor who can do a great job communicating with just a few facial expressions - watching him watch the people of the Capitol really foreshadowed slightly what may have driven this man to dedicate his life to drinking and rolling his eyes at most of the Tributes placed into his care.\nThe one weakness for me is Liam Hutcherson as Gale. And part of that is a costuming and makeup issue: that boy is far too clean cut to be a child of the Seam who spends his time out in the woods. Also, dang that dude looks old. I only felt anything for him because Lawrence does such a great job showing how much she cares for this boy. Hopefully once he's given more material to work with in Catching Fire we'll see more personality come from this kid.\n(Here begin the movie spoilers...small ones though)\nThere are several small departures from the books, starting just a few minutes in with Buttercup mysteriously being a black and white cat (that Katniss threatens to cook). Madge, the mayor's daughter, isn't a character at all - the mockingjay pin has a new origin that absolutely works within the context of the story. The film has two hours to tell a mini-epic, which means some streamlining is necessary, and the filmmakers have an advantage over us readers, and even Suzanne Collins as an author: they know exactly how the story ends, who's important and who isn't, etc. If this film had come out before, say, Mockingjay was published, an outcry over the lack of Madge might have been reasonable (just before Mockingjay was published, I predicted we were going to learn that Madge was a rebel. I...was wrong). Since we know she doesn't add much to the overall story now, I was okay with her quiet removal from this iteration and replacing it with a story that strengthens Katniss' character and relationships.\nCaesar Flickerman's biggest expansion is as a commentator for the Games, alongside Claudius Templesmith. This is how a lot of the background information is delivered to the audience, through cutaways to what the audience in the movie is seeing as Caesar and Claudius talk about strategies and traps and dangers in the Arena. We get to see what Katniss only imagines is happening in the books - not only as what the Panem audience sees, but also behind-the-scenes cutaways to what's happening with the Game Makers. We get to see the fire attack on Katniss planned with pinpoint accuracy, and the creation of the Mutts. It really hammers home the idea that nothing happens in Panem by chance - it's all carefully orchestrated by those in charge.\nDespite having one of the worst audiences in history (dear kids sitting behind me: was it necessary to run down every single difference between the book and the movie in real time? And do it loudly? I know you're Team Gale, but please stop laughing as Peeta is almost dying. It's unbecoming), I enjoyed this film so, so, much. I highly recommend it to fans of the books, and I think it will do an excellent job in bringing in the half-dozen people in the US who have managed to not read the books yet. (Seriously. Who hasn't read this book?!)\nhunger games|movies|\nLabels: hunger games, movies",

        "raw_content": "Oak has great strength and hardness, and is very resistant to insect and fungal attack because of its high tannin content. It also has very appealing grain markings, particularly when quarter sawn. Oak planking was common on high status Viking long ships in the 9th and 10th centuries. The wood was hewn from green logs, by axe and wedge, to produce radial planks, similar to quarter-sawn timber. Wide, quarter-sawn boards of oak have been prized since the middle Ages for use in interior paneling of prestigious buildings such as the debating chamber of the House of Commons in London and in the construction of fine furniture. Oak was used in Europe for the construction of ships, especially naval men of war, until the 19th century, and was the principal timber used in the construction of European timber-framed buildings. Today red and white oak is still commonly used for furniture making and flooring, timber frame buildings, and for veneer production. Of the North American oaks, red oak is the one of most prized for lumber. It is not good for outdoor use due to its open capillaries unless the wood is treated.",

        "raw_content": "Argentina: death flight pilot arrested in Spain\nby Penta \u00bb Fri Sep 25, 2009 9:07 am\nJuan Alberto Poch, pilot for low-cost airline Transavia, was arrested in Valencia during a turnaround. Argentina has an international arrest warrant out for him on suspicion of involvement in the murders of 1,000 people who were thrown alive out of planes into the sea or the river during the dictatorship. He was a Navy pilot working out of ESMA, the most notorious torture centre in Buenos Aires.\nhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/se ... -argentina\nhttp://memoryinlatinamerica.blogspot.co ... light.html\nRe: Argentina: death flight pilot arrested in Spain\nby coldharvest \u00bb Fri Sep 25, 2009 10:30 am\nMust have been a brilliant pilot to be able to fly andtoss fuckers out the door at the same time.\nby Penta \u00bb Fri Sep 25, 2009 11:06 am\nThe important thing, as far as I'm concerned, is that they don't think they've got away scott free.\nSince the various amnesty laws were repealed, the processes are going VE-ER-R-Y slowly, but they are going at least.\nA woman we knew finally got an investigation and the beginnings of a prosecution started for the murder of her husband in 1976 (never even given a case number as it were until 18 months or so ago), and managed to get all her evidence taken just before she died of cancer. Now the widow of the other man murdered in the same incident, who is our oldest friend here in Spain, is bracing herself to go back and carry on pushing the case forward, and giving her own testimony when - if - it finally gets to court. But she finds it very scary going back to her home town, where the killers are still free, still well connected, knowing who she is, and that she's testifying against them. Because witnesses have started disappearing again.\nIt has to be done though, I think. That, or a proper truth and reconciliation process as in South Africa, which would be better. But the military in Argentina has shown no indication they're willing to come clean - precisely because they think they can get away with it - as most of them have, so far.\nI think some of the people who are so dismissive of the coup in Honduras, or think it's all a bit of a joke, may forget how these memories of coups and dictatorships and the pain that goes with them are still very much alive all over Latin America. That's why all the governments in UNASUR, and in Central America, are so adamant that the golpistas must not be allowed to prevail.\nSo they're going to take a page from the Big Losers playbook of The Great War on Drugs and go after little fish first?\nyeah, that'll work....the big fish will be so remorseful they'll throw themselves in the net.\nThey know who did it, now just knuckle-up and do the distasteful, vengeful right thing and execute them instead of hiding behind this charade of Justice.\nIt's not only the little guys. Videla's pardon was ruled unconstitutional, for instance, and his convictions for mass murder, torture, kidnapping and so on restored, so he's back in prison. Actually, I personally think he's too old to be imprisoned - he must be well into his 80s by now - and should be let back out into house arrest, but he's in a military prison, so I expect they look after him pretty well.\nViola's dead already. Martinez de Hoz is being tried for murder, as, I think, is Harguindeguy. They're either in prison or under house arrest in the meantime.\nSo the big fish are being dealt with. And the cases against the little fish follow on from that. In the case of the husbands of those particular friends, it was straightforward murder: not following orders; there were no orders against them. Just police being suspicious of a couple of young bearded guys riding motorbikes, following them back to their workshop, and shooting them dead in the street outside because they didn't like the look of them. Which is the sort of thing that went on all the time and will inevitably go on all the time when there's a culture of impunity, the police and army can do what they like, robbing and raping and beating up and shooting, with no comeback, and anyone young who might conceivably be leftish (and being young and bearded was all they needed to decide that) is declared fair game. It was a very dirty war, which extended way beyond guerrillas or militants or even party members, to a war on a whole generation, who were considered \"contaminated\" and therefore needed to be \"cleansed\".\ncoldharvest wrote: Must have been a brilliant pilot to be able to fly andtoss fuckers out the door at the same time.\nYou'd think he'd have noticed that it took less fuelon the way back because of weight differential though.\nTwelve years or so ago I was one of several showing a Chilean Colonel of Police around. Afterwards, it seems we had all thought it but no one asked if he had done a lot of flying in empty planes.\nby Penta \u00bb Sat Sep 26, 2009 9:47 am\nCaliban wrote: Twelve years or so ago I was one of several showing a Chilean Colonel of Police around.

        "raw_content": "USCCB initiative fosters young leaders for church\u2019s social justice work\nBy Katherine Talalas \u2022 Catholic News Service \u2022 Posted February 7, 2014\nWASHINGTON (CNS) \u2014 Nearly 70 students from Catholic colleges worldwide came to Washington for the Catholic Social Ministry Gathering\u2019s Youth Leaders Initiative.\nBoth the annual gathering, held this year Feb. 2-5, and the initiative are projects of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Six agencies of the USCCB sponsor the gathering with 15 other Catholic organizations.\nThe youth event provided a fresh perspective for students, even those already familiar with Catholic social teaching. Kaitlyn Kennedy, a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame, works with the Indiana university\u2019s Center for Social Concerns and has a minor in Catholic social tradition.\nStill, attending the event in Washington showed her \u201chow to apply it to my own life.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019ve come away with a sense of awe about the people who gave so much to this\u2026 their effort and hope is rooted in faith,\u201d she told Catholic News Service.\nIan Mitchell, Catholic social teaching education coordinator for the USCCB, said that connecting youth with seasoned advocates was a goal of the initiative. \u201cThis is not a college gathering, this is a professional gathering,\u201d he said.\nIn addition to serving youth leaders, the Catholic Social Ministry Gathering benefits from their presence. Mitchell said that \u201cyouth add energy, but also great wisdom and perspective\u201d to the event. Their activism inspires other attendees, said Mitchell, because \u201cthey bring from their campuses a spirit of being disciples in action.\u201d\nThe Youth Leadership Initiative is only two years old. The first event was held after the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. Though Pope Francis has been an inspiration to organizers \u2014 his quest for a \u201cChurch of the Poor and By the Poor\u201d was this year\u2019s theme \u2014 the initiative was in the works during Pope Benedict\u2019s papacy.\n\u201cBefore Pope Francis, we wanted to make this open to young leaders,\u201d Mitchell said.\nThe Youth Leadership Initiative was partly coordinated by student volunteers. Conor Maloney, a senior at The Catholic University of America and a USCCB intern, helped with event administration.\nMaloney was impressed by \u201chow passionate\u201d attendees were about social justice. Meeting with other student leaders, he discovered untapped opportunities at his own university. \u201cIt is great to see how people implement the resources from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development on their campuses,\u201d he said, referring to the U.S. bishops\u2019 domestic anti-poverty campaign.\nAfter attending a series of workshops, many students went to Capitol Hill to speak with their representatives in Congress. Among the topics discussed were fair wages, federal safety-net programs, and comprehensive immigration reform.\nChris McClead, director of campus ministry at St. Mary\u2019s University of Minnesota in Winona, was excited to bring his students to Washington. The political activity of their ministry is usually confined to letter-writing, so \u201cit is a privilege to be in this arena,\u201d he said.\nAfter speaking with their representatives, students returned home with renewed zeal.\nAlicia Ireland, a sophomore at Cabrini College in Philadelphia, thought the experience \u201cwas really fun!\u201d\n\u201cI got to meet my congressman, Jon Runyan, and sit down and talk to him,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was awesome!\u201d Runyan, a Republican, represents New Jersey\u2019s 3rd Congressional District.\nMadeline Coutu, also a student at Cabrini, said that she \u201cfound it surprising that many (legislators) were open about their faith background, and what they believed.\u201d On the whole, she said, \u201cwe were very supported.\u201d\nThough the focus of the event was on federal policy in the United States, a number of international students attended the Youth Leadership Initiative.\nHayley Gould, of Australian Catholic University, said that students worldwide must educate themselves on social justice. \u201cThis applies on an international scale,\u201d she said. \u201cComing here put that into perspective.\u201d\nGould said she benefited from fellowship with fellow student-activists from the United States. At her Australian university, said Gould, the Catholic ministries involved with faith life and social justice often feel separate from one another. Here, Gould said she found that Catholic groups came together on both fronts, \u201cand that is great to see!\u201d\nTaminka Hanscamp, another student from Australian Catholic University, agrees that Australian youth especially can learn from Catholic teaching on social justice. \u201cIn Australia, our generation is the generation most into social justice, and the most without faith.\u201d She said that \u201cit is pivotal for young people to realize that the church is involved with this, too.\u201d\nAttendees say that the experience they gained will stay with them beyond college. Christle Gehman, of Cabrini College, said that after graduation, her peers \u201cwill be changing the face of social justice.\u201d\nPREVIOUS: College leaders urged to learn from students\u2019 social media use\nNEXT: New study on abortion rate doesn\u2019t tie drop to new state restrictions",

        "raw_content": "David and Solomon : In Search of the Bible's Sacred Kings and the Roots of the Western Tradition\nIsrael Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman\nThe exploding number of discoveries of biblical archaeology\u2014artifacts and texts found at hundreds of sites populated in the ancient Near East\u2014have shed powerful beams of light on the characters and peoples in the Bible. Most of the resulting public controversies have focused on whether or not the history in the Bible is true. Yet ultimately, there are two larger questions that matter more: exactly how did the Bible evolve into its final form, over the centuries-long process of its compilation, and what does that history tell us about the traditions we have inherited and that still stamp our memories?\nIn David and Solomon, Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman, leading archaeologists and authors who have done a great deal to uncover and understand the breathtaking findings of their field, focus on the first two great kings of the Bible as a lens through which we can see the evolution of the entire biblical era. The Bible's chapters and verses on David and his son were written in stages, over many hundreds of years, by authors living in very different circumstances. Thanks to a combination of textual analysis and archaeology, we now know a great deal about which parts of the story were written in which era, and why those particular societies might have added to the legend precisely as they did. In short, David and Solomon offers a guide to a thousand years of ancient civilization and the evolution of a tradition of kingly leadership that held sway throughout the West for much of our history.\nThe earliest folklore and verses about David depict a bandit leader, hiding in the mountains, leading a small gang of traveling raiders (which fits what we know of the ninth century B.C.E.). That bandit may well be the \"true\" David. In later periods, authors added images of David as a poet, as the founder of a great dynasty, as a political in-fighter, and (perhaps most famously) as a sinner. All of these images made sense for the authors who created them, and a similar evolution of Solomon from the builder of the Temple, to expander of his empire, to wise sage, to rich trader similarly reflects the successive stages of history up to the time of Jesus. Ultimately, David and Solomon came to embody a tradition of divinely inspired kings and even messiahs, the forerunners of Jesus and of the great kings of Europe throughout the Middle Ages.\nDavid and Solomon shows how the stories built around two men reflect the very roots of the western tradition and explains a great deal of why the Bible appears as it does.\nStarred Review. Lacking clear archeological evidence or extrabiblical testimony, biblical scholars are often challenged in persuading a skeptical world that the Bible's characters really existed and that their stories are actual historical records. The task of separating myth from history can be a daunting one. Finkelstein and Silberman, both renowned archaeologists (Finkelstein chairs the archaeology department [at Tel Aviv University; Silberman is a contributing editor to Archaeology magazine), take a different approach: integrating ancient heroic and warrior archetypes into the lives of the kings of Israel, thus synthesizing history and myth in support of the religious endeavor. The authors are careful to note that the absence of contemporary confirmation outside the Bible is no reason to believe that the characters did not actually exist. Rather, the biblical stories form the basis for a legend tradition in which the Davidic legacy gradually transforms \"from a down-to-earth political program into the symbols of a transcendent religious faith that would spread throughout the world.\" Finkelstein and Silberman, who also had a winner with The Bible Unearthed, tell their story in a clear and easily understood manner, never boring but always challenging. Discovery Club main selection, BOMC, QPB and History book clubs alternate selection.\nIsrael Finkelstein is director of the Sonia and Marco NAdler Institute of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University. Neil Asher Silberman is director of historical interpretation for the Ename Center for Public Archaeology and Heritage Presentation in Belgium and is a contributing editor to Archaeology magazine.\nDid God Have A Wife?

        "raw_content": "Riding 10.22.11\nI just thought of something kinda funny. When I talk about dirt biking, I say \u201criding\u201d and when I talk about mountainbiking, I say \u201cbiking.\u201d That will help you differentiate between what I\u2019m doing maybe. But anyways, I didn\u2019t get any action pics bc its a pain to stop and take out my camera, but maybe next time for you! We did have a really nice day though and here are the two pictures I did take, besides the one that I emailed you previously when we stopped to check out the old stone building.\nThis picture was when we were just about ready to go after loading up Casey\u2019s quad at his house. Lookin\u2019 cool huh?\nThis was just before we left to go out on the trails (in BEARTOWN!). There was a guy out there with his girlfriend that we saw (also a bunch of beaners with brand new bikes which is funny), but they were having problems. The guy was leading and they came up to a hill which was kinda tough with big rocks and a little steep, and he got stuck or something so Casey and I passed them and went on our way. Someday I\u2019ll let you ride my dirt bike. I would prefer you try the quad first just because its a little less intimidating, but same sort of shifting, you just dont need to worry about balancing and dealing with a heavy bike that could fall over.\nBut if you do a good job riding around, maybe someday I could take you for a little ride \ud83d\ude42\nBigelow Loop\nThis was me the morning of our hike, at about 5:45am. I was a tired, but it was really nice out. The next was the view of the dock and out onto the pond that morning. It\u2019s always a little hazy out on the pond in the morning, even on nice days, and then it burns off around 9 usually.\nThese next pictures are of part of the trail when we were approaching the first summit and it got pretty steep. It was the Appalachian Trail that went along all the peaks, mostly along the ridges between all of them, which made it fun. On the left was a cool looking section and on the right was another steep section (notice how I was ahead of my marathon-running brothers as I mentioned to you before haha).\nThis picture is of Casey taking a picture at the first peak. We could see Sugarloaf, all the other peaks we were planning on hitting, and Flagstaff lake(one of the biggest lakes in Maine), and a wind farm off in the distance on the Canadian border. I\u2019m gonna work on patching together a bunch of pictures I took at the peak to make a panoramic of almost 360 degrees from the summit. The next was a view looking down from near the 3rd peak. The two off in the distance right next to each other were the first two. Those were the two shortest ones (both under 4000ft. just barely) They were called North and South Horn, and from there we hiked along the ridge that you can faintly see in the picture and at this point we were nearing the treeline and the top of the tallest mountain.\nThis next picture (left) is the same view, but from a little higher up on the mountain. The picture on the right is of Corey and Casey in the distance, approaching the peak. This was still on the AT and it was cool up here because they had lined the trail with little rocks the whole way up because they didn\u2019t want people going off the path and killing the vegetation.\nWhen we were near the highest peak, we passed a group of probably 12-15 girls that have been a few years younger than us. Maybe they were doing some sort of program like Liz had done because they all had big packs and said this was their 10th day in a row hiking, and they had just finished a 2 week bike trip prior to hiking. You can see some of them in the background of my self portrait.\nThe picture on the right is of the three of us at the peak of the last peak, just before we began our descent, which only took 1.5 hrs because we hurried and then even ran for a mile and a half. At this point, the clouds were starting to roll in so it was a little chilly, but it was a really good day for the hike. It was clear when we reached the summit, but not too hot.\nCamping, Cycling, Hiking, Miscellaneous\nTim Pond Scenery\nThis is one of the gates that you have to get through to get into Tim Pond. It is at the top of the hill where I called you from. As you can see, I took this while I was up there on my bike to talk to you, but I thought it would be a fitting picture to start this post off with.\nThese next two pictures are pretty self-explanatory. On the left is K-lee in the pond just down a little path from our cabins, so it can give you a little perspective on the size of the pond and what the view is like. On the right is a hammock which is also near our cabins. I took my book and read in it one nice day. With a pillow its a perfect spot for reading.\nThe next picture is of my book, \u201cAlaska BEAR Tales\u201d It is really good, I\u2019m only half way through it, but hopefully I will keep going and finish it at home. It spooked me a little bit when I was up late reading it with my headlamp after the lights went out at night. It made me keep looking around all the time I went out biking on the dirt roads alone. The picture below to the right is of me at the shale pit. It was about a 4 mile ride to the bottom of the hill that goes up to the pit, which as you can see overlooks the pond and the surrounding area. Its a little off-kilter because I put it on a self timer on a loose rock on the wall. But it worked out pretty well, and then I rode down the wall and down the big hill and back to camp which in the larger version of the picture you can make out. The left grip on my handlebars covers up most of it though, and it is pretty tough to see.\nThis is the view of camp from the boat, one night we went out fishing. This was before harvey (one of the owners of the camp and the owner of the plane) left. And I missed him leaving, because I like watching planes take off and land, especially on the pond. And he always buzzes the camp after he takes off. Anyways, I thought it was a good picture\nThis blurry little picture is of the coyote Casey and I saw while fishing one night. It was really dark and the shore was pretty far away, but you can make out its figure. Casey thought he was hunting some birds on the shore or something. He hung out for a while while we fished.\nThis picture I took from my bike while Casey and I were biking around the pond. I had an opportunity to get a better picture of her when we first saw her, because we were pretty close and she was facing us, but I didn\u2019t have my camera out. And she got a little bit ahead of us while I was getting my camera out, but I managed to get this picture of her running ahead while I was riding.\nAs you can see, we all had a really good time relaxing, eating well, and doing a few outdoorsy activities. Even the dogs had a good time together, especially Clarke and Grover this day!!\nI don\u2019t know why this is all underlined..\nThis last picture on the left is of me on the phone with you at the top of the hill, looking the other way. On the other side, it was finally time to leave :(. That\u2019s a picture of Willy and Grover waiting to leave in the back of Jon\u2019s car.\nI have plenty of other pictures I will post about the hike we did, and then just other randoms hanging out at camp. I will show you the rest when you are here.\nHail Storm 8/1/11\nThis was the storm that came through today that I mentioned to you. This is the view from the screened in porch, you can see all the hail coming down. It was pretty cool, this is the most hail I\u2019ve seen for a long time.\nHere are some pieces of the hail my dad and I ran out and grabbed during the storm. There was that one monster piece that was a little bigger than a golf ball. COOL!!!!\nVT trip\nThese are a few pics from the biking Jon and I did in VT. These two are both of some trails we rode through a granite quarry in Barre, VT. The left one is at the top of a hill with a pretty cool lookout. The right one is another lookout over the quarry which is pretty cool. There was a lot of really nice scenery for this ride.\nThe picture on the left here is of me coming down a couple pretty cool bridges that they had made also in the trails through the quarry. There were a lot of these that made cat walks, jumps, and even some banked turns on big downhill trails, so that was really cool. The picture on the right was of part of the trail as we were coming down the hill in Jon\u2019s town, Waterbury, VT. The beginning of that ride started with 45 minutes uphill. No Joke, 45 mins, the first 25 or so were murder. Straight up hill and the ground was kinda sandy. I wasn\u2019t quite ready. He told me there were some hills but I didn\u2019t realize you had to ride up a mountain to get to the start of the trails. But, it was really nice once we made it up hill because the trails were mostly downhill from there. Really had to earn it though.\nThese pictures are of the first spot we went swimming at, in between our two bike rides. The first of which was in Jonny\u2019s town with the huge hill, so swimming was really nice because it was pretty hot that day too. The one on the left is looking upstream, above all the waterfalls. I wish I could have taken my camera to the bottom to really give you perspective of this spot. There were 3 waterfalls with pools in between and then a big pool at the bottom. The picture on the right is of the pool we jumped into. It was on the second tier of this waterfall succession, and it was only 7 or 8 feet deep. Which made it kinda fun to jump in because you really had to make a \u201cJ\u201d shape as you jumped into the water so that you wouldn\u2019t slam the bottom.",

        "title": "At the Vanguard?",
        "raw_content": "HomePublicationsAt the Vanguard?\nAt the Vanguard?\nAccording to a biblical story, a family lives in a room amidst overcrowded conditions, which generates interminable conflicts. The father decides to consult his rabbi, who tells the afflicted father that he should put all of his hens in the room and come back after a week. Seven days later, the man can\u2019t stand another minute of it, but the rabbi tells him to put the rest of his animals in the room and to come back in a month. When the month is up, desperate, the father arrives ready to fight the rabbi. The rabbi tells him to take the animals out of the room and to come back in a week. Seven days later, the whole family returns with enormous smiles on their faces: they are all happy because they are living to their hearts\u2019 content in the same room that only a few weeks before had seemed such an uninhabitable place. That appears to be the strategy of the government of the Federal District: turn up the pressure in all ambits \u2013traffic, infrastructure, water, social programs, development plans- to such a intense level that, when the works projects are over and everything\u2019s returned to normal, we, the inhabitants of Mexico City, will feel rejuvenated and happy due to the grandiosity of the governmental actions. As political strategy, this is an unsurpassable project. As a platform for the development of the city, \u2013or of the country- it is nothing more than a mirage. Like the biblical anecdote.\nWhen one hears about the enormous governmental programs and the achievements that have been reached, there\u2019s nothing left but to ask oneself if the citizens live in the same place as our authorities. According to the city\u2019s head of government, the Federal District has resolved the main problems, the bases are being set in place for a stupendous future, and we are well on the road to development. I ask myself, where did the holes in the street, the water shortage, the traffic, and the growing criminality go?\nIt is evident that a city abandoned for so many decades would be suffering from all types of problems that cannot be solved from one day to the next. Similarly, the hardships generated by the improvement process are high and have no remedy: a street or a Metro line takes time to be constructed, the period from when the work begins and ends is not agreeable nor should it be undervalued and, as much as the citizenship might complain, these are inevitable, thus tolerable, costs. Truth to tell, the population has been more than stoic in its acceptance of the costs and the hardships.\nWhat are disputable are not the problems themselves but the pretension that these are already resolved. Instead of advancing a long-term vision for city development (and, for obvious reasons, for the country), what we city inhabitants have been hearing are grandiloquent statements about achievements that do not exist. The lack of planning is scandalous: there are streets that have undergone important public works programs in recent years (for example, underpasses or bridges) and that are now being newly opened for some other project. It\u2019s not that the project is bad, but rather that there is no continuity in the works, which reveals that instead of vision there is reaction.\nEveryday life in a city as complex as the Mexican capital is difficult in itself. The typical inhabitant works far from where they live and this implies wasted hours in getting to work, hours that are multiplied by traffic problems that never seem to resolve themselves. In addition to this, criminality dominates the minds of the inhabitants: the fact that the number of deaths is less than in other parts of the country does not mean that congratulations are in order because they do not exist. The number of abductions, robberies, and assaults continues to be very high and is incongruent with the desire to convert Mexico City into a financial and tourist center and one of knowledge development and scientific research. No capital resident is unaware of the real and potential assets of the city: but it is insufficient to possess these, constructed as they have been over decades, in order to suppose that they are inexorable mainstays for a promising future.\nPerhaps the city\u2019s true problem lies in the incompatibility of the system of government with the needs and problems of the huge urban concentration. The city requires a long-term development plan and vision and a professional administration devoted to implementing it systematically. When the administration and the city government change every six years and devote all of their energies to constructing a presidential candidacy, city development is curtailed and never procured. The incentive for the governor lies in concentrating on what is popular or most visible (and to blow one\u2019s horn about it for all it\u2019s worth) rather than devote oneself to an integral long-term project. Despite the latter, it must be recognized that the current city government has sustained projects, such as that of the Supervia (San Jer\u00f3nimo-Toluca), despite their being unpopular.\nThe problems of the city are evident: wastefulness of water is extraordinary, to the degree that it is estimated that more water is wasted in Mexico City than the total water consumption of the city of San Antonio, Texas; public security is an illusion; the quality of the asphalt, even on recently \u201cpaved\u201d avenues (such as Reforma) is pathetic. Even problems such as those of the traffic are often due to the bottlenecks produced by improperly parked cars, street vendors, street repairs, and poorly designed traffic loops, which denote a serious problem of the absence of authority. If one were to observe the traffic from above, traffic jams would be seen across the board. Some of these undoubtedly require large works (traffic grid arteries and second-level traffic lanes), but many require small and concrete actions, in addition to willingness to force compliance with the rules.\nIn addition to \u201cancestral\u201d assets, a city at the vanguard requires a long-term vision, a population aware and convinced of the project, and the capacity to carry it out. We have at present a paradoxical combination: great assets, a population with no idea of where we\u2019re going (or whether we\u2019re going), and a great capacity for implementation. What a pity that vision and pursuit of conviction are lacking. A population that knows where it\u2019s going and that can trust its authorities to achieve this becomes any government\u2019s best asset, above all when, counter to what many suppose, everything indicates that the future will reside in great cities that are \u201cintelligent\u201d. Without vision, without security, and with the worst of services, none of this is possible. The great projects end up being a mirage.\nMexico City is perhaps at the vanguard of Tapachula, Lima, or Lagos, Nigeria. However, the relevant comparison is Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, or Beijing. In the light of this paragon, it hasn\u2019t even begun.\nA World Reversed",

The city\u2019s work on this issue, aided by Assemblyman Cooley, ultimately saved the city and its taxpayers almost $8 million dollars.\nIn 2008, Citrus Heights made the prudent decision to fund its redevelopment agency via a loan of monies from its general fund, instead of funding through a bond which would have cost Citrus Heights taxpayers nearly $500,000 more in associated costs. In June of 2011, legislation was passed and signed by Governor Brown effectively ending redevelopment agencies and phasing out their activities into other local successor agencies over a period of years.\nWoman found dead at Citrus Heights apartment complex\nSubmitted by News10 Staff\nA woman was found dead at a Citrus Heights apartment complex Monday morning.

The horse continued over the top of the car and did not survive the impact.\nThe three other horses in the road were not injured in the accident.\nThree men who were in the car suffered minor to moderate injuries, and one of the men had to be freed from the car by crews on the scene.

The following week, the Harvard varsity nearly walked off the field while playing against Yale after their captain was leveled by an illegal hit on a fair catch that left his nose broken and bloodied. Copied to Clipboard During his political career, Theodore Roosevelt and imperialism were closely linked. The scheme of its preservation is noteworthy in its essential democracy.\nTeddy Roosevelt History\nIn 1871, he donated several specimens to another fledgling museum -- the American Museum of Natural History, which had been co-founded by his father. When mining and railroad interests threatened to seriously damage the park, Boone and Crockett rose to the defense. He caused a major controversy early in his presidency when he invited Booker T. For instance, he advocated for the annexation of Hawaii for several reasons: it was within the American sphere of influence, it would deny Japanese expansion and limit potential threats to the West Coast, it had an excellent port for battleships at Pearl Harbor, and it would act as a fueling station on the way to pivotal markets in Asia. With his face forever chiseled into Mount Rushmore, Theodore Roosevelt has secured his place in American history for all time.\nWith little protective equipment, players sustained gruesome injuries\u2014wrenched spinal cords, crushed skulls and broken ribs that pierced their hearts. Especially after a financial panic in 1907, his already strained relations with Republican in Congress degenerated into a spiteful stalemate that blocked any further domestic reforms. The long novel gave Dreiser the prime form through which to explore in depth the possibilities of 20th-century American life, with its material profusion and spiritual doubt. Until Roosevelt's presidency, however, the only serious effort to build a canal had ended in failure. Courtesy: Library of Congress When Roosevelt assumed the presidency, business and political machines dominated the landscape, carving up territory, buying candidates, and manipulating legislation. The bloodless rebellion took place in November 1903; only one person died.\nTheodore Roosevelt and American Imperialism\nActually, it was an excerpt from another speech, called 'Citizenship in a Republic', which Teddy gave at the Sorbonne, in Paris France April 23, 1910. In this famous speech, he said critics weren't important, because it was the 'man in the arena' the one actually doing the hard work who really counts. At issue was the claim that the Northern Securities Company\u2014a giant railroad combination created by a syndicate of wealthy industrialists and financiers led by J. However, this idea was relatively untested. He won the for Peace in 1906 for mediating an end to the 1904\u201405 , and he secured the route and began construction of the 1904\u201414.\nThe Conservation Legacy of Theodore Roosevelt\nThe railroads, labor, and the processed food industry all came under his scrutiny. Under Roosevelt and Grinnell, the Boone and Crockett Club would support these concepts, not only promoting the enjoyment of hunting, but the study and preservation of game animals and their habitats. Shortly thereafter, the rambunctious Roosevelt intervened in a nationwide coal strike, threatening to use federal troops to operate the mines unless the strike was settled, and pushing the powers of the presidency to unprecedented -- and some said unconstitutional -- limits. He even paid other children to collect specimens for him. They legalized the forward pass, abolished the dangerous mass formations, created a neutral zone between offense and defense and doubled the first-down distance to 10 yards, to be gained in three downs.\nThereafter, with the help of two cousins, he continually added exhibits stuffing the hides himself, after learning taxidermy and kept careful notes in numerous notebooks. Under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, he led an expedition to Africa to collect specimens. In the meantime, he wrote his autobiography and went on an expedition into the Brazilian jungle, where he contracted a near-fatal illness. Congress cut back on his requests, but by the end of his presidency he had built the into a major force at sea and reorganized the army along efficient, modern lines. Newspaper editorials called on colleges and high schools to banish football outright. He never suggested fundamentally altering American society or the economy to address various economic and social ills. On his return he became ineluctably drawn into politics.\nMahan argued that having a strong navy required that a nation have numerous ports all over the world in which to safely anchor their ships. The Hepburn Act marked one of the first times a President appealed directly to the people, using the press to help him make his case. His favorite activities included hiking, rowing, swimming, riding, bird-watching, hunting and taxidermy. Instead of partisan publications that touted a party line, the national media was becoming more independent and more likely to expose scandals and abuses. Imperialism was argued by Captain Alfred T.\nSparkNotes: Theodore Roosevelt: 1901\nNot surprisingly, the organization he helped to found would be among the most influential. Acting on these beliefs, Roosevelt established the federal Reclamation Service in 1902. His young children romped on the White House lawn, and the marriage of his daughter Alice in 1905 to Representative Nicholas Longworth of Ohio became the biggest social event of the decade. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, China had been defeated in a series of wars and was consequently being divided by the victors, namely Japan, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Russia. The head of the department, John Long, had a competent but lackadaisical managerial style that allowed Roosevelt a great deal of freedom that Roosevelt used to network with such luminaries as military theorists Alfred Thayer Mahan and naval officer George Dewey and politicians such as Henry Cabot Lodge and William Howard Taft. The emotional disintegration of Hurstwood is a much-praised triumph of psychological analysis. He also knew that the media was a good way for him to reach out to the people, bypassing political parties and political machines.",

        "raw_content": "Home Thinkpieces Another way in\nAnother way in Apprenticeships in the creative and cultural industries\nby Pauline Tambling\nJoint CEO, Creative & Cultural Skills\nTagged under skills, apprenticeships, creative industries, innovation\nI don\u2019t think many people in the cultural sector expected the newly-formed Creative & Cultural Skills to make apprenticeships a key skills priority in 2006. Employers weren\u2019t crying out for them; most said that they\u2019d like to have apprenticeships for graduates rather than engage with younger people. However, as we survey the scene today, there are around 900 level 2 and 3 (roughly equivalent to A-level standard) apprentices in the sector from a standing start of zero in 2008. We\u2019ve made a start but there are a lot of lessons here about achieving cultural change for a new, fast-growing sector when the education systems have been established for many years and move very slowly.\nIt may not be known to some people, but apprenticeships have been at the heart of some of the most established areas of the creative industries for hundreds of years. The Goldsmiths\u2019 Company, for example, has been running indentured apprenticeships since 1334. These five-year programmes place an apprentice with a \u2018Master\u2019 and conclude with the production by the apprentice of a \u2018Masterpiece\u2019.\nIn its more modern conception, an apprentice works four days per week as an employee learning \u2018on the job\u2019 and attends a local further education college one day per week for structured learning. This is a straightforward approach, but I have since learnt of the challenges of applying this model of learning to the creative and cultural industries.\nThe setup phase for creating the capacity for apprenticeships in the creative sector has been arduous and painstakingly bureaucratic. Money for apprentices goes directly to training providers, so first off we had to recruit some colleges to our cause. Further to this, though, colleges can only access apprenticeship funding through a relevant awarding body offering the apprenticeship. However, awarding bodies need to create apprenticeship frameworks, built on National Occupational Standards (of which none existed for the sector). To create a framework from scratch takes at least ten months and is particularly difficult when awarding bodies are sometimes hesitant over the business case of developing new qualifications in an untried area.\nAdded to this complicated process is the sheer number of areas where an apprenticeship could be developed. Since 2008, we\u2019ve established around 14 compliant frameworks in design, community arts, costume and wardrobe, live events and promotion, the music business, cultural and heritage venue operations, jewellery and silversmithing. But behind all these areas there are very specific job titles. In jewellery, for example, there\u2019s a gem setter, a polisher and finisher, a diamond mounter and silver spinner \u2013 to name a few. To date, we\u2019ve mostly created level two and three frameworks. However, it is vital to ensure that the higher level apprenticeships are created for young people to move on to the next level of their learning.\nCreating the capability for an employer to take on an apprentice is just one side of the problem. When people think of apprenticeships, they think of large companies \u2013 BT and Rolls-Royce are often-cited examples of this. In the creative industries, though, challenges which would never occur to these larger firms are myriad. Firstly, businesses in the creative industries are usually tiny. With such a large number of firms employing fewer than five people, the ability to take on apprentices becomes a burden on the employer.\nSecondly, the nature of their work is often more erratic than that of a large employer. Portfolio working, seasonal productions and contract-based work all mean that there are few guarantees that apprentices will have steady work. To address this, we\u2019ve set up an Apprenticeship Training Service to employ apprentices on behalf of employers and where we can we let employers share apprentices to fit in with their work patterns.\nDespite bureaucratic and systemic challenges to our progress, apprenticeship development has led to change. Already we\u2019re seeing a major cultural shift. Our sector has tended to recruit from highly-qualified graduates willing to take on long-term free internships. This has meant that we\u2019ve limited our entry level jobs to a very particular group of candidates; no wonder our sector fails to reflect the social and ethnic mix in the country. Put baldly, we\u2019re missing out on a lot of untapped talent; apprenticeships are making a difference. Secondly, not all the entry level jobs are graduate jobs. Graduates use entry level jobs to get a toehold in the sector but often move on very quickly, leaving small businesses recruiting every few months and not getting the continuity or long-term commitment they need. Furthermore, certain jobs need real vocational skills, particularly in areas like technical theatre, and therefore the apprenticeship route is genuinely more relevant.\nRecent research shows that employers are genuinely impressed with their apprentices and see the initiative as making a real difference in the sector. It hasn\u2019t been easy to get this programme going but it feels like it\u2019s worth it.",

I arrived in Halifax with plenty of time to spare, so had a look around the town and had a very good and inexpensive breakfast at the Goose pub.\nThe actual launch went well, with a number of council officers underlining particular aspects, after which we were given a lighthearted but informative tour of Eureka! before sitting down to a well prepared buffet lunch.\nThen we were taken on a walk around the town centre, with a surprising number of interesting places, all of which were well worth a visit.\nWe were taken to the Square Chapel, a former Independent chapel now used as a thriving arts centre; the amazing Piece Hall, built for cloth trading; the Victoria Theatre, providing both plays and concerts; the elegant 17th century Somerset House, built by Carr of York and now used as an upmarket restaurant with a room for marriages; the Market Hall, in my opinion only bettered by the fabulous one at Leeds (Yorkshire); the Town Hall, designed by Sir Charles Barry; and the stately Halifax Minster.\nIt was nice as well to talk to other people who had come a fair distance, including Sheffield and even Croydon.\nI came away with a highly favourable impression of Halifax, which I confess I had never really considered previously as a suitable place to visit.\nCongratulations to everybody involved in the launch. I am sure it will lead to an upsurge in tourism business.\nPosted by colin on Sunday 9th May, 2010 at 10:09am",

It is expected to be the first spacecraft to fly by and study Pluto and its moons, Charon, Nix, and Hydra. Once New Horizons leaves the Solar System, NASA may also approve flybys of one or more other Kuiper Belt Objects.\nNew Horizons was launched on January 19, 2006 directly into an Earth-and-solar-escape trajectory. It had an Earth-relative velocity of about 16.26 kilometres (10.10 mi)/s or 58,536 kilometres (36,373 mi)/h (10.10 mi/s or 36,373 mi/h) after its last engine shut down. Thus, it left Earth at the fastest launch speed ever recorded for a man-made object (although its specific orbital energy is less than that of Voyager 1, and the Helios Probes retain the maximum speed record for a spacecraft). New Horizons flew by Jupiter on February 28, 2007 and Saturn's orbit on June 8, 2008. It will arrive at Pluto on July 14, 2015 and then continue into the Kuiper belt.",

        "title": "Proof that Jesus is the Messiah!",
        "raw_content": "Proof that Jesus is the Messiah!\n-- By David Brandt Berg\nHundreds and even thousands of years BEFORE Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the Old Testament Prophets predicted His coming. Their predictions were not just general ones that \"a Messiah, a Saviour, will come\" etc., but SPECIFIC prophecies about places, times and events that have been fulfilled in only ONE person who has ever lived--JESUS of Nazareth! In this brief lesson we have chronologically arranged several of the most outstanding Old Testament Messianic prophecies in the actual verbatim text of the Scriptures and followed them with their New Testament fulfillments.\nPROPHECY: Nearly 750 years before Christ's birth, the Old Testament Prophet Isaiah prophesied: \"The Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a VIRGIN shall CONCEIVE, and bear a SON, and shall call His name Immanuel.\"--Isaiah 7:14.\nFULFILLMENT: In exact FULFILLMENT of this prophecy, Mary was a young VIRGIN engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter of Nazareth, when the Angel Gabriel appeared to her saying that she would bear a child. \"Then Mary said to the Angel, `How shall this be, seeing I have not laid with a man?' And the Angel answered, `The HOLY GHOST shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you! Therefore that holy One which shall be born of you shall be called the SON of GOD.\"--Luke 1:26-35. (Immanuel means \"God with us\", and for those of us who have received Jesus into our hearts, that's Who He IS: God is WITH us!)\nPROPHECY: \"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: And the government shall be upon His shoulder: And His NAME shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the MIGHTY GOD, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace!\"--Isaiah 9:6. (Prophecy given 740 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: This shows that the ancient Jews, unlike most modern ones, believed that God had a SON--Who was to be born in the flesh and Whom the prophecy said was to be called \"The Mighty GOD\".\nPROPHECY: Micah, prophesying in the eighth century B.C., predicted the exact village where the Messiah would be born: \"You, BETHLEHEM, though you are small among the clans of Judah, yet out of you shall He come forth unto Me that is to be RULER over ISRAEL; Whose existence has been of old, from EVERLASTING.\"--Micah 5:2. (Prophecy given 710 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: The Gospel says \"Jesus was born in BETHLEHEM of JUDEA.\"--Matthew 2:1. Although the Jews knew that their Messiah was to be born there (Matthew 2:4-6), they didn't, as a nation, accept Jesus as their ruler. Nonetheless, the prophecy says that He \"IS to BE ruler\". This takes place spiritually now for those who voluntarily accept His Messiahship, and will SOON take place LITERALLY by FORCE at His Second Coming!\nJesus' existence, as the prophecy says, \"has been of OLD, from EVERLASTING\". Jesus said, \"Before Abraham was (around 2,000 B.C.), I AM.\"--John 8:58. He was here referring to Himself as the eternal God Who revealed Himself to Moses in the burning bush as: \"I AM THAT I AM\"(Exodus 3:14), the eternal Son of God! (See also John 1:13,14.)\nPROPHECY: The Prophet Zechariah commanded the people by the Spirit of the Lord to: \"REJOICE GREATLY, O daughter of Zion! SHOUT, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your KING comes unto you: RIGHTEOUS, and having SALVATION; meek, and riding upon a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.\"--Zechariah 9:9. (Prophecy given 487 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: Five days before His crucifixion, as Jesus neared Jerusalem, He told His disciples, \"Go into the village ahead of you, and at once you shall find a donkey tied there, and her colt with her: Untie them, and bring them to Me. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the donkey and the colt...and Jesus sat on them...and the multitudes that went ahead, and those that followed, SHOUTED, saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord!'\"--Matthew 21:2-10.\nImagine!--The King of kings, God in the flesh, came riding into Jerusalem, meekly sitting on the lowly colt of a donkey, just as God's Prophet, Zechariah, had predicted over 500 years earlier!--And not only did JESUS fulfil this part of the prophecy, but the MULTITUDES of Jerusalem who \"REJOICED GREATLY\" and \"SHOUTED\" praises to Him as He entered the city were further proof that indeed, Jesus of Nazareth was \"the KING\" of whom Zechariah had prophesied!\nHIS BETRAYAL\nPROPHECY: Again Zechariah predicts: \"And I said unto them, If you think good, give me my PRICE; and if not, keep it. So they paid me THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER.\"--Zechariah 11:12. (Prophecy given 487 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: \"Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests, and said to them, 'What will you give me, if I deliver Him to you?' And they counted out for him THIRTY pieces of SILVER.\"--Matthew 26:14, 15.\nPROPHECY: \"And the Lord said unto me, `Cast it unto the POTTER!--The handsome price at which they priced Me!' And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and CAST them to the POTTER in the HOUSE of the LORD.\"--Zechariah 11:13. (Prophecy given 487 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: \"Then Judas, which had betrayed Him (Jesus), when he saw that He was condemned, repented, and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders...And he CAST DOWN the pieces of silver in the TEMPLE, and went away and hanged himself. And the chief priests picked up the silver pieces, and said, It is against the law to put this into the treasury, because it is the price paid for blood. So they decided to use the money to buy the POTTER'S Field, to bury foreigners in.\"--Matthew 27:3-6. The thirty pieces of silver WERE literally \"CAST to the POTTER...IN the house of the Lord\"!\nPROPHECY: \"By arrest and judgement He was taken away: And who shall speak of His descendants? For He was cut off from the land of the living: For the transgression of my people was He stricken.\"--Isaiah 53:8. (Prophecy given 712 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: Jesus was ARRESTED by the soldiers of the High Priest.--Matthew 26:57. After judging Him in their religious court and condemning Him to death, they bound Him and handed Him over to Pilate, the Roman Governor.--Matthew 27:1-2. \"While Pilate was sitting in judgement...the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd...to have Jesus executed.\"--Matthew 27:19-20. \"Finally Pilate handed Him over to them to be crucified.\"--John 19:16.\nPilate himself knew that Jesus was INNOCENT and had done nothing worthy of death, and that the Jewish religious leaders only wanted Jesus executed because of their religious jealousy, yet the religious leaders used their political leverage to force Pilate to have Him crucified anyway.--John 18:28-40;19:1-16; Luke 23:13-25; Matthew 27:18.\nPROPHECY: Around 1,000 B.C., King David prophesied: \"Dogs have surrounded Me: A band of wicked men have encircled Me: They PIERCED My HANDS and My FEET. I can count all My bones. People stare and gloat over Me. They DIVIDE MY GARMENTS among them, and CAST LOTS upon My CLOTHING.\"--Psalm 22:16-18. (Prophecy given around 1,000 B.C.) (See also Zechariah 12:10;13:6.)\nFULFILLMENT: That was written by King David, who died a natural death (recorded in 1Kings Chapter 1), so he wasn't talking about himself. But being a Prophet, he predicted the type of death that CHRIST would die! As it says in the New Testament, \"then the soldiers, when they had CRUCIFIED Jesus (pierced hands AND feet), took His GARMENTS, and divided them into four parts, a part to every soldier; His undergarment remained. Now this garment was without seam, woven in one piece from top to bottom. They said therefore to one another, Let us not tear it, but let us cast LOTS for it, to see whose it shall be.\"--John 19:23,24.\nCrucifixion, incidentally, was not practiced by the Jews of David's time. (They killed criminals by STONING!)--But David PREDICTED this type of death for the MESSIAH--a method of execution that was to become one of the principal means of execution by the Roman Empire ten centuries later!\nPROPHECY: Here is another prophecy by David regarding \"The Righteous\", or the Messiah: \"Many are the afflictions of The Righteous, but...He (God) keeps ALL His BONES: Not one of them is broken.\"--Psalm 34:19-20. (Prophecy given about 1,000 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: MANY of God's righteous servants have had their bones broken, especially in their martyrdom--But Jesus was \"THE righteous\", \"My righteous Servant\", as God called Him, Who through His death would \"justify many\" or make them righteous.--Isaiah 53:11-12. And to PROVE that He was \"THE Righteous\" Who would \"justify many\", God didn't let ANY of His bones be broken!\nJesus was crucified on the eve of the feastday of the Passover. To ensure that the bodies of the two thieves and Jesus wouldn't be hanging there on the cross during the Jews' holy day (death by crucifixion sometimes took days), they BROKE the LEGS of the thieves, causing their bodies to sag, cutting off their respiration and bringing a quick death. \"But when they came to Jesus, and saw that He was dead already, they did NOT break His legs.\"--John 19:31-33.\nJesus was \"the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the World\" (John 1:29), and was crucified at the time of the Jewish Passover, a religious festival when all the Jewish households killed a lamb as a sacrificial sin offering. Right at that SAME time, Jesus, \"THE Lamb of God\", died for the sins of Mankind. The Lord had commanded that NONE of the Passover lamb's BONES were to be BROKEN (Exodus 12:46), and Jesus' death fulfilled this specific point also!\nPROPHECY: \"And He was given a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death.\"--Isaiah 53:9.\nFULFILLMENT: In the eyes of His bitter religious enemies, Jesus was a criminal, a WICKED man, and as He died, there were \"two ROBBERS crucified WITH Him\".--Matthew 27:38. After His death, \"a RICH man...named Joseph...went to Pilate and pleaded for the body of Jesus. And when Joseph had taken the body, he...laid it in his own new tomb\"--A GRAVE with the RICH!!!--Matthew 27:57-60.\nPROPHECY: \"For You will not leave My soul in hell (the grave, death); neither will You allow Your Holy One to see CORRUPTION (decay).\"--Psalm 16:10. (Prophecy given around 1,000 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: King David, who gave the prophecy, died and was buried in a grave and his flesh saw corruption and decay. But Jesus was RAISED from the grave and hell THREE days AFTER His death, and \"His soul was not LEFT in hell (or in the grave), neither (did) His flesh see corruption (decay).\"--Acts 2:27-31. As the Angel said to the mourners who came to Jesus' tomb, \"He is not here, but is RISEN! Why do you seek the LIVING among the DEAD?\"--Luke 24:6,5.\nJesus is ALIVE! The Scriptures show that He walked the Earth for 40 days after His Resurrection and was seen by HUNDREDS of followers!--Acts 1:3; 1Corinthians 15:4-6. He then ascended up to Heaven where He sits at the right hand of the throne of God.-Mark 16:19.\nEXACT YEAR OF HIS CRUCIFIXION\nPROPHECY: \"Know and understand this: From the issuing of the decree to restore and to build Jerusalem until the Messiah the Prince shall be seven sevens, and 62 sevens (or a TOTAL of 69): The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times. And after 62 sevens shall the MESSIAH be CUT OFF, but not for Himself.\"-Daniel 9:25,26. (Prophecy given 538 B.C.)\nThe city of Jerusalem was completely destroyed by the armies of Babylon when the Jews went into captivity and exile in 586 B.C. But 133 years later, in 453 B.C., Artaxerxes Longimanus, King of the Persian Empire, gave the Jews the commandment to go forth (from captivity into the land of Israel), \"to restore and to build Jerusalem\".\nWe know his decree was issued in 453 B.C., and that Jesus was \"cut off\" in 30 A.D. Therefore, if we add the 453 years B.C. to the 30 years A.D., it equals 483 YEARS. Let's see now if Daniel's specific time prophecy coincides with this:\nThe prophecy predicted that from the time of this decree until the death of the Messiah the Prince would be--HOW long?--\"7 sevens plus 62 sevens\"--or 69 SEVENS. 69 sevens would be 69 x 7, which equals 483. So Daniel predicted that 69 sevens of YEARS, or 483 YEARS, would pass between the issuing of the decree to build Jerusalem and the \"cutting off\" of the Messiah.--And that's EXACTLY how many years DID pass between 453 B.C. and Jesus' death in 30 A.D.!--What an amazing EXACT FULFILLMENT of prophecy! And this astonishing prophecy was given in the year 538 B.C.--almost 600 years BEFORE Jesus the Messiah was crucified! It's also interesting to note that this 483-year period was divided into two periods: First a period of 7 sevens (49 years), then a period of 62 sevens (434 years). History reveals that it did take the Jews 49 YEARS from the time the decree was issued to \"rebuild the walls and streets of Jerusalem\". Once Jerusalem was rebuilt, it was exactly 434 years (62 sevens) later that Jesus the Messiah was crucified!\nDaniel's prophecy continues with undeniable PROOF that this MESSIAH had to be JESUS:\nDESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM AFTER HIS COMING\nPROPHECY: \"At the end of 62 sevens shall the Messiah be cut off, but not for Himself: AND the people of the RULER that SHALL COME shall DESTROY the CITY (of Jerusalem) and the SANCTUARY (the Jewish Temple).\"--Daniel 9:26. In other words, ac cording to this prophecy, AFTER the Messiah's death, the city of Jerusalem AND the Jews' Temple would be DESTROYED! Was it? YES! Only 40 years later!\nFULFILLMENT: After Jesus was cut off (or crucified in 30 A.D.), \"not for Himself\", but for the sins of the WORLD, do you know what happened to Jerusalem and to the Jews' Temple? In 70 A.D., the Roman legions of the Emperor Vespasian (\"the people of the ruler\"), under his son, General Titus, marched in and burnt Jerusalem to the ground and so utterly destroyed their Sanctuary that not one stone was left upon another!\nJesus Himself, in a set of amazingly detailed prophecies given 40 years before these catastrophic events, predicted EXACTLY what would happen! (See Matthew 24:1-2; Luke 19:42-44;21:20-24.)\nSHUTTING OF EAST GATE AFTER HIS COMING\nPROPHECY: \"Then he brought me back to the outer GATE of the SANCTUARY, the one facing toward the EAST; and it was SHUT. Then the Lord said unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and NO MAN shall enter in by it; because THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, HAS ENTERED IN BY IT, therefore it shall be SHUT.\"--Ezekiel 44:1,2. (Prophecy given 572 B.C.)\nFULFILLMENT: When Jesus (\"the Lord, the God of Israel\") made His TRIUMPHAL ENTRY into Jerusalem on the back of the colt of an ass, He came from the Mt. of Olives and entered into Jerusalem's EAST Gate (Matthew 21:9-12), the gate which led into the TEMPLE COURTS, as it says here, \"the OUTER gate of the SANCTUARY which faces toward the EAST.\"\nIn 70 A.D., the city of Jerusalem was utterly destroyed and it remained in ruins for centuries after. But in 542, the Moslem Sultan Sulieman rebuilt the walls of the city. Because the Jews who had rejected Jesus believed their Messiah was STILL to come and was YET to make His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Sulieman (who wanted to avoid the Jews rallying around a \"Messiah\" and rebelling) WALLED the \"East Gate\" completely SHUT, and thus unwittingly fulfilled the ancient prophecy of Ezekiel, \"It shall be shut...because the Lord (Jesus), the God of Israel, HAS ENTERED in by it.\" And the East Gate REMAINS sealed shut until this very day!\nMost Jews believe that the Messiah has not yet come, but according to these two FULFILLED HISTORICAL FACTS: 1) The destruction of Jerusalem, and 2) The walling up of the East Gate, the Messiah has ALREADY come!--And if it wasn't JESUS of NAZARETH, who WAS it?\nWHO ELSE was born of a virgin in Bethlehem, was called God, rode triumphantly into Jerusalem on an ass, was betrayed for thirty pieces of silver, was proclaimed innocent yet condemned unjustly to be crucified while soldiers parted His garments, was associated with the wicked in his death, was buried in a rich man's tomb and rose from the dead--all in FULFILLMENT of Messianic PROPHECY! The answer, of course, is NO one else but JESUS CHRIST!--And the prophecies that we have quoted here are only a FEW out of nearly 300 specific Old Testament proph ecies which Jesus fulfilled!\nWHY (did Jesus die on the cross)?\nWHY did Jesus die on that cross?--Because He LOVED you! He loved you enough to take your punishment, to die and be separated from His Father for a while so that He could bring YOU the LOVE of God and ETERNAL LIFE! As another prophecy says, \"All we like sheep have gone astray; each of us have turned to his own way, and the Lord has laid on HIM the iniquity of us all. There was no deceit in His mouth, yet it was the Lord's will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer. HIS soul (Jesus') shall be made an offering for SIN, and by His knowledge shall My righteous Servant JUSTIFY (make righteous) many; and HE shall bear THEIR INIQUITIES!\"--Isaiah 53:6,9-11. (Prophecy given 750 B.C.)\nJesus died for YOU!--And God gave all these prophecies and had them written down and preserved down through the centuries and millenniums so that your faith might be strengthened by them enough to BELIEVE that \"God so LOVED the World, that He gave His only begotten SON, that whosoever believeth in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.\"--John 3:16. Do YOU?\nGod LOVES you and Jesus is just WAITING at your heart's door for you to open to Him. He says, \"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If ANY man hear My voice, and OPEN the door, I WILL come in to him and WILL sup with him, and he with Me.\"--Revelation 3:20. Would YOU like to receive Jesus into your heart? If you would, sincerely pray from your heart this simple prayer: Dear Jesus, I know that I've done wrong things and I'm sorry. I believe that You died for my sins and I ask You to please come into my heart and forgive me.-And please help me to live for You and others by reading Your Word and telling others about Your Love!--In Jesus' name, amen.\nOther articles about Jesus Christ on Deep Truths:\nTopic: Proof that Jesus is the Messiah!\nrun 3 (East Elmhurst, US) says...\nGr\u0435at article, totally what I wanted to find.

        "raw_content": "Post by dpatrick911 \u00bb Mon Mar 23, 2015 1:10 pm\nI wrote this lesson a few years ago when I was asked to speak at a tune-up.\nFeel free to use this message as you see fit. It is a little long. But the message went surprising fast.\nAwana Grand Prix Tune-Up\n1.\tIntroduction: Name, Occupation, and Background\n2.\tI love cars (Audi S4, BMW M3 are probably my favorites, what are your favorites?)\n3.\tWhile I love cars, the purpose of a car is simply to travel from \u201cpoint A-to-point B\u201d.\na.\tThe differences in cars (luxury, sports, and economy) simply dictate how enjoyable you trip was/is going to be.\nb.\tHowever, automobile design and engineering over the last 20-30 years has placed a lot of emphasis on fuel economy, aerodynamics, and weight reduction. This emphasis has changed the shape of cars to the point where you can barely tell the differences between the manufacturers. Where at one time brand differences and appearance were celebrated there has been a shift to make everything look the same (vanilla). They all basically look the same, they are aerodynamically superior, they are lighter, faster, and get more miles per gallon than cars of yester-year. But despite all of these advances, at the end of the day they are created for one purpose, transportation... and they all look the same.\n4.\tConversely, God\u2019s design for us is not this way.\na.\tUnlike the car, where they started different and now they all look the same, we all start out basically the same; soul, heart, brain, head, eyes\u2026 and from conception God begins His work in our lives toward preparing us for our intended purpose.\nb.\tEphesians 4:11 \u2013 \u201cAnd He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,\u201d\n5.\tBut how do I know God has a specific design/calling/plan for our lives?\na.\tWe can look to the Bible (God\u2019s Standard) for our answers\n1.\tPsalm 139:13-16 says: \u201cFor you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 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, 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\n2.\tJeremiah 29:11 NIV \u201cFor I know the plans I have for you,\" declares the LORD, \"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.\u201d\n3.\tPhilippians 2:13 Amplified Bible \u201c[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.\u201d\nb.\tSo God created you, He knows your beginning and you end, He knows the plans and will prosper you and not harm you and is \u201cAll the While\u201d effectually at work in you and me, energizing and creating power and desire, to will and work for His pleasure, satisfaction and delight. That sounds like a God that cares about you.\n1.\tWith those promises in mind, do you think we should trust God to do what needs to be done in our lives to prepare us for our intended purpose? I do.\n6.\tBut what does this work God is doing or going to do look and feel like?\na.\tNot unlike what we are doing with our blocks of wood tonight\n1.\tWe will be planning, cutting (remember one bit of advice \u201cmeasure twice and cut once\u201d\u2026 you can\u2019t cut it longer after you cut it short), but we\u2019ll be cutting, sanding, polishing, painting, \u201cenergizing and creating the power to work for our good pleasure, satisfaction and delight\u2026 \u201cWe are preparing them, transforming them into cars, for the race.\u201d\nb.\tSimilarly the apostle Paul wrote of the work God was doing in his life:\n1.\tThe apostle Paul wrote: 2 Cor 11:25-27 \u201cThree times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness\u2014 \u201c\n2.\tGod really was \u201ceffectually at work\u201d in Paul\u2019s life wasn\u2019t He? Beaten, shipwrecked, perils of all kinds. Now, I am not saying that we are all going to suffer as Paul suffered, but we should be prepared to have hardship in our lives.\nc.\tIn contrast, Paul also wrote of his feelings toward God\u2019s work in his life:\n1.\tPaul wrote in Philippians 3:8 \u201cYet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ\u201d\n2.\tPaul also said in Romans 8:18 \u201cFor I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.\u201d\n3.\tAnd in Romans 5:3-4 \u201cAnd not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.\u201d\n4.\tAnd also in 2 Cor 4:16-18 \u201cTherefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.\u201d\nEDIT*** It is interesting to note, Paul wrote the letters to Corinth, Rome, and Philippi over a period of about 6-7 years. With his second letter to the church in Corinth being written about 22 years after his conversion. Paul had experienced some stuff. But his love for God and his assurance of God's love for him did not waver. It is also interesting to note, that Paul wrote a number of his letters while he was in prison. My research indicates at least 5 letters were written while he was imprisoned. ***\nd.\tWe might not understand why things happen to us, but our thoughts and prayers should be \u201cwhy not?\u201d God is working toward perfection in us. (refiner\u2019s fire).\n1.\tMalachi 3:3 \u201cHe will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the LORD An offering in righteousness.\u201d\n2.\tThis verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot then she thought again about the verse that says: \"He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.\" She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined. The silversmith answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, \"How do you know when the silver is fully refined?\" He smiled at her and answered, \"Oh, that's easy-when I see my image in it.\" If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.\n7.\tSo what does all of this mean for me (how does it apply)?\na.\tJust like we are going to cut, sand, polish, paint, and prepare our cars for race day, God has work to do, work to do in our lives.\nb.\tThe work is not always fun, sometimes it painful, sometimes it causes stress, and sleeplessness. But, if we believe God\u2019s word, we know and accept that it is ultimately necessary to make us uniquely equipped to fulfill his purpose and plan in our lives. God promises that His plans are to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.\nc.\t1 Kings 6:7 says: \u201cIn building the temple, only blocks dressed at the quarry were used, and no hammer, chisel or any other iron tool was heard at the temple site while it was being built.\u201d\n1.\tSo when God grabs his tools and starts hammering, cutting, sanding, polishing, and knocking off our \u201crough edges\u201d just remember, He is preparing us for His intended purpose and ultimately His kingdom in Heaven. Just like the stones used for the temple, were dressed in the quarry, all of God\u2019s work is done here so we are a perfect fit for heaven. God\u2019s ways are right and perfect. I believe that God is just measuring (us) twice so He only has to cut once.\n8. Let\u2019s pray.\nRe: Awana Tune-up Message\nPost by davet \u00bb Fri Apr 17, 2015 5:29 am\nPost by dpatrick911 \u00bb Fri Apr 24, 2015 12:27 am\nThank you and may God richly bless you my friend.",

        "title": "Tackling the Windrush Mess - Ending the 'Hostile Environment'",
        "raw_content": "Tackling the Windrush Mess - Ending the 'Hostile Environment'\nYou are here: Home / News / Speeches / Tackling the Windrush Mess - Ending the 'Hostile Environment'\nOn June 22nd 1948, The Empire Windrush sailed into history. It had begun its journey in Jamaica and finally docked at Tilbury England. The 492 passengers were the earliest group of post-war Caribbean migrants and achieved an almost iconic status.\nFew people have not seen the contemporary newsreel footage of the determined and excited men and women disembarking, eager to embrace a new life.\nAnd the Empire Windrush has given its name to a scandal which obliged the Prime Minister, Theresa May, to apologise and the Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, to resign.\nAnd millions more people have marvelled at how we could have treated, a cohort of ageing West Indians, who had travelled to this country legally and completely certain that they were British, with such harshness and cruelty.\nThe Windrush scandal meant that: members of that cohort were refused medical treatment even when they were suffering from cancer: were refused benefits that they were entitled to including housing benefit (so some were made homeless); lost their jobs when a new owner of their company insisted on documentation they had never had; some were locked up in immigration detention centres; still more were refused entry back into this country, when they had only gone to the Caribbean for a holiday. And unknown numbers were actually deported. The Government now claimsthis is 63. We shall see.\nThey all had the humiliation of being consistently treated as liars by a harsh and unfeeling bureaucracy.\nLet me be clear, we need a full and open investigation into the entire Windrush scandal. The government cannot keep denying, and then drip feeding us information.\nSo in my remarks this morning I will set out why this happened, how it happened, and what a Labour government would do to ensure it does not happen. Finally, more generally, I want to set out some of the changes in immigration policy that a Labour government would make.\nIt is one of the most common bits of urban myth about immigration and migrants, that we are not allowed to speak about the subject.\nBut, since the Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury, the British Parliament has passed: the British Nationality Act 1948: the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1968; the Immigration Act 1971; the Immigration Act 1988; the the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996; the Immigration\nand Asylum Act 1999; the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002; Asylum and Immigration Act 2004; Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006; UK Borders Act 2007; Borders Citizens and Immigration Act 2009; the Immigration Act 2014 and the Immigration act 2016. This is not the legislative record of a political class that DOESN\u2019T want to talk about immigration.\nBut in truth, the scandal surrounding the Windrush generation relates to HOW we have been talking about immigration. More accurately, the scandal relates to how too many politicians, too many newspapers and too many commentators, have been talking immigration. Too many people using negative language, and promoting negative views, should have known better.\nMany of the Windrush generation were invited here. My mother, for instance came as a pupil nurse who had been recruited in Jamaica and came here under as a special scheme organised by the government.\nThe Windrush generation came here in numbers after the end of the war to help rebuild this country. They often did the jobs and shifts that others were unwilling to do.\nA number of those same politicians, newspapers and commentators, now pay tribute to the hard work and contribution of the Windrush generation. They are right to do so. Some might even say it\u2019s long overdue.\nBut I would say this. There is nothing uniquely saintly about that generation. They reflect what migrants do generally. They move for better opportunities, for themselves, and for their families. They work hard, they contribute. They also hugely enrich our culture, our society, and our diversity. In general, that is what all migrants are trying to do.\nBut because there was always consistently negative narrative about migrants it became gradually easier to treat them in a way which, when held up to the public gaze by journalists like the Guardian\u2019s Amelia Gentleman, seemed insupportable, harsh, and inhumane.\nMigrants have always been demonised by racists and xenophobes.\nBut they are increasingly demonised by those seeking political advantage. And guess what? That increased the number of genuine and avowed racists. So, the answer of some politicians was to pander to that racism even further. And so, the vicious circle takes another turn.\nWell, I and others intend to break that vicious circle. I want there to be a new, virtuous cycle. This is a new virtuous cycle where people see the terrible consequences of demonising migrants and recoil. Where politicians call out racism and the demonization of migrants. Where they try to correct terrible policies that have been implemented. Where migrants are allowed a voice.\nMeeting women in Yarl\u2019s Wood and hearing their stories proved to me just how powerful these voices are. I met a woman who had lived here for 30 years and had 5 British children.\nA woman with a British husband who cried because she was in detention whilst her 2 children, both under 5 years old were left without her.\nAnd who could forget the story of Opelo Kgari and her mother Florence \u2013 the young Yarls Wood hunger striker, came to the UK as a child and has lived here more than half her life \u2013 locked up in detention and threatened with deportation.\nWhen migrants are allowed a voice then fewer and fewer people feel it is acceptable to espouse views that demonise migrants.\nTHE underlying narrative that underlay the Windrush scandal was an increasingly negative view of migration, but the HOW it happened was the rise and rise of the \u201chostile environment.\u201d\nThe Government claims that this is a crisis owing to the policies of successive governments, not just the Tory administrations since 2010. This is simply an outrageous fabrication, piling scandal upon scandal.\nI am not here to defend the actions of previous governments or their treatment of migrants, including migrants from the Caribbean.\nBut it is a complete distortion of recent history to suggest that the Windrush scandal is anyone but this Government\u2019s fault. The Windrush generation are really the first, and among the most heart-rending victims of this Government\u2019s hostile environment policy.\nThey did not need papers to claim their rights to NHS treatment or benefits until that policy was introduced under Theresa May. It was her policy which made them unemployed or homeless or deprived them of their pension. It was her policy that detained some, it may have deported others and certainly refused re-entry to people who had the right to be here. This is all a product of the hostile environment.\nThe source of the Windrush scandal is the hostile environment. The Prime Minister\u2019s policy is also the source of so much else that has recently brought the immigration system into such a state of disrepute.\nMinister\u2019s say it is regrettable that people weren\u2019t give documentation. But in 1948, who had documentation? Most people had little beyond their birth certificate. Items like passports and drivers\u2019 licenses were almost unheard of then for the whole population. They were the preserve of a small minority.\nThe new situation was not created by lack of documentation. It was created by the new insistence on documentation for some people, under the \u2018hostile environment\u2019.\nThe hostile environment policy has infected almost every area of life, from schools and universities, to employers, state agencies and landlords. They have all been turned into internal border guards.\nIt was politically-motivated and driven. It is not a product of analysis of our economic our social needs. It disregards our previous obligations. It rides roughshod over the rights of tens of thousands.\nUKIP is no more. But it\u2019s rancorous and rancid politics are alive and well. They have found a home in the policies of this Government. Enoch Powell was thrown out of a Tory Cabinet for espousing polices that this Government now enacts.\nNET MIGRATION TOTAL\nWhere did this deeply damaging policy come from? This Government, and this Prime Minister are obsessed with idea of reducing net migration below the annual level of 100,000. This is one of the most ill-conceived and unworkable policies of modern times. The target has never been met. Never even close.\nFor a while Ministers wanted to blame this on Freedom of Movement in the EU. But non-EU net migration, the bit entirely under the Government\u2019s control, exceeds ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND on its own. In the last TENYEARS, long before the net migration was dreamt up, Non-EU migration has always exceeded the ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND target alone.\nIt\u2019s almost as if the policy was designed to keep out those people, overwhelmingly from the Commonwealth. It hasn\u2019t worked.\nIt is ironic that this Government and its predecessors were busy cutting border guard numbers at the same time. But this irony seems lost on Ministers.\nIt is as if we have a system of ID cards in this country, without any system. And only a section of the population gets into trouble for not having them. Instead, the Government relies on people who \u2018looks\u2019 foreign, or \u2018sounds a bit foreign\u2019 or has a \u2018foreign-sounding name\u2019 to be reported to the authorities.\nWHAT LABOUR WILL DO\nThe Migration Observatory estimates that there are 57,000 people who came from across the Commonwealth before 1973, who effectively now have the same precarious status that this Government has imposed.\nIt is like being made stateless by your own government, our government. A non-citizen, a non-person.\nIt is not confined to the Caribbean. We have already seen a number of people from South Asia, here legally and working here, who have been caught out in a similar way. These numbers will grow, and their countries of origin will include most counties in the Commonwealth.\nI would add that there are also all their children who came here. They should also be included in what we call the \u2018Windrush generation\u2019. It\u2019s grotesque to invite people to come and work here and then say, decades later, \u201csorry we didn\u2019t mention it at the time, but we didn\u2019t mean your children could stay\u201d.\nIn some cases too, grandchildren are caught up in this scandal, as parents and grandparents don\u2019t have the necessary documentation. All of this must end.\nThe Government now admits people have been wrongly deported. But it wants to cover-up three other important categories.\nFirstly, those who were wrongfully detained in the immigration system. Secondly, those who were wrongfully refused entry back into Britain.\nAnd then, thirdly, there is the category of so-called \u2018voluntary removals\u2019, where people were bullied and brow-beaten into leaving under threat of deportation, even though they had a right to be here.\nThe issue of compensation is especially important. As you can imagine, there is deep anger and much concern on this.\nThe Government\u2019s response should be this:\nAnyone who has lost their income, or access to the NHS, or been made homeless will demand compensation. There will almost certainly be justified claims for compensation for loss of liberty, being deprived of citizenship rights and being removed from your own country must surely be even greater. Emotional distress barely conveys what people have experienced. Delays and parsimony will be treated with justified outrage.\nAnd the Government, and this Prime Minister must come clean. How did this policy come about? It is not as if they weren\u2019t warned. I and others told them in 2014 that this scandal would be the predictable consequence of their policies. They cannot claim ignorance. They were warned. But they pressed ahead anyway.\nHOSTILE ENVIRONMENT MUST GO\nThe entire hostile environment policy must go. We demand that the Government abandons it now, not rebrands it.\nA Labour Government will repeal all those parts of the immigration legislation that were introduced to support it. We will rescind all Home office instructions to carry it out, and we will remove all obligations on landlords, employers and others to enact it.\nWe will end this obligation on everyone else too, such as school teachers, universities and others.\nYou know what? I want nurses to nurse, teachers to teach, jobcentre workers to help people into work, and border guards to be border guards.\nWe intend to treat people with dignity and with humanity.\nTACKLING OTHER INJUSTICES\nBut the entire Windrush scandal and the hostile environment and other Government policies have revealed a string of failing and institutionalised injustices. They have to end.\nI have previously made a commitment to all immigrants here now or in the future that the future Labour Government will respect that right to a family life.\nArticle 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights states (in the somewhat outdated language of its time):\u201c1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.\nClearly, the Windrush scandal breaches the right to a family life. On many levels.\nWe also have to recognise, sometimes families don\u2019t work. There is a particular concern regarding women, overwhelmingly it\u2019s women, who may be the subject of domestic violence. They can have their uncertain immigration status held over them by domestic abusers. This must end.\nLabour will issue instructions that immigration status can be part of domestic violence and abuse. The statutory definition of domestic violence must recognise threats concerning women\u2019s immigration status can be domestic violence.\nWe will protect vulnerable women. This is essential to fulfil our obligations under Article 59 of the Istanbul Convention.\nFamily has both a very broad as well as a narrower meaning. In the generally accepted meaning, we have committed to upholding the right to a family life.\nLabour in Government will allow spouses to come here without any Minimum Income Requirement, and we will always allow children here of anyone who is entitled to be here.\nLabour in government will never deport the children, or the spouses of anyone entitled to be here. We will also never deport anyone born here, they should be treated as British citizens. Children that have been born in Britain should not have to pay over a thousand pounds for the privilege of obtaining citizenship, simply because their parents were not born here. It should be theirs as a right. Just like it is mine or most people\u2019s in this room today. We will end this scandalous practice.\nWe will also the end the scandalous treatment of people that came here when they were very young. I cannot tell you how many cases I have heard of young people who came to this country when they were children, whose parents did not regularise their status.\nSo many have had their lives turned upside down having studied and in some cases worked and paid taxes here. We will show the obvious compassion to those that have found themselves in this situation. We will not deport them to a country where they know nothing, and no one. We will allow them to remain with their families, in the country that they call home.\nLabour in government will never prevent the re-entry of people to this country who already have the right to be here. We will allow all reasonable requests too for visitors\u2019 visa. As it currently stands, people who want to come for family visits, for weddings and funerals.\nAnd, I am announcing today that the next Labour Government will close Yarl\u2019s Wood detention centre. We will also close Brook House. Both are rightly infamous.\nPeople are being kept in detention for months, even years on end. They include the Windrush generation, victims of torture, women who are refugees, victims of sexual exploitation.\nThe Government announced the Modern Slavery Bill with great fanfare but no resources. They are gearing up to do exactly the same with the upcoming Domestic Violence Bill. This is simply not good enough.\nUnder the Tories services for the most vulnerable women in society have been slashed again and again. So today I am announcing that Labour will take the millions that are used annually to fund Yarls Wood and Brook House immigration detention centres, and put this directly back into services to support the survivors of modern slavery, trafficking, and domestic violence. We pay ten million pounds a year to private contractors Serco to run Yarl\u2019s Wood and over eleven million (\u00a311.2mil) for Serco to run Brook House.\nYarl\u2019s Wood in particular has already caused so much pain to vulnerable women that we should have been protecting. We believe that diverting these resources directly to them is not only essential, but the right thing to do.\nFurther to this incarcerating victims of abuse and torture breaches obligations under international law. It is inhuman. Under Labour it will go.\nWhen detention centres were introduced we were told in parliament that there would be no need for strict rules of due process because no-one would be detained longer than 28 days. This simply isn\u2019t true.\nSo not only will we end indefinite detention, Labour in government will uphold the 28 day time limit. By processing cases efficiently we will be able to shrink the detention estate considerably. Those with a right to be here should be granted that right speedily. Those who don\u2019t have a right to be here should be removed speedily.\nWe will introduce a system of reporting and monitoring of people who are subject to potential removal. It is much more rational, humane system. It will also end the outrages at the detention centre. It will also save money.\nOne another aspect of the current scandal is that the burden of proof has been shifted to the accused. This breaches natural justice. We will issue instructions to end this practice. Instead, overworked Home Office workers will be issued guidance that they must work on the balance of probabilities to initiate any case, and that the burden of proof will lie with the Home Office.\nIf we are going to deprive people of the right to be here, we must be clear that that they do not have the right to be here.\nIt shouldn\u2019t need saying, but unfortunately it does: We cannot deport our own citizens.\nWe will also restore proper rights to appeal removal orders, to ensure there are proper checks and balances, and we will introduce legal aid in these cases. This can be funded by the closure and reduction of the detention centres.\nWe will put an end to the new measures that came in earlier this year which now mean that anyone claiming asylum is on \u201cimmigration bail\u201d. These measures are preventing young asylum seekers from studying, including their ESOL classes. Education is a human right and we cannot deny them this, if we are to uphold the British tradition of honouring international law, and meeting our moral obligations to some of the most vulnerable in the world. We cannot continue to treat people as if claiming asylum is a crime.\nIndefinite leave to remain must mean just that. We will end the system of annual NHS access charges. If people have a right to remain, and are paying National Insurance, there is no justification for hefty additional charges. We will end annual charging.\nIndefinite leave to remain must also mean other rights, such as the right to work.\nOf course, we will remove the net migration target. This was never a workable policy. Instead, it allowed the Government to mount a permanent anti-migrant campaign.\nInstead, we will establish a system for the fair and reasonable management of migration, putting the interests of our economy first.\nI will set out the basis of that system in my next speech. But I will give you an example now:\nThe NHS is struggling in part because of low pay and terrible condition for the workers. There are around ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND vacancies in the NHS. It is TEN THOUSAND doctors under-staffed.\nBut this Government is turning away doctors, scientists, engineers and other others under their stupid and ridiculous monthly cap on Tier 2 visas for skilled workers. They even have a so-called \u2018market mechanism\u2019 where the pay threshold of allowed skilled workers rises sharply with demand.\nSo, doctors are barred, but derivatives traders are allowed. The outrage of Tory immigration policy. The Tier 2 visa cap should go immediately. It is making us worse off. Labour in government will definitely end it.\nThe same logic applies to students. International students literally enrich us all, and in so many ways. Under Labour we will be encouraging international students to come. Not barring them. We will harness their presence to the benefit of the entire education system, to improve the education of our young people.\nThere is something coming up in parliament where the Tories intend to add to the hostility of their hostile environment. In the Data Protection Bill currently going back and forth, you don\u2019t really have any data protection. Not if you\u2019re an immigrant, or if someone suspects you of being an illegal immigrant.\nDo I need to paint a picture as to who that will include? And it affects us all. It can affect any one of you, if someone else claims you are an illegal immigrant. Labour will oppose this Bill unless the exemption for immigration is removed. Otherwise this data protection bill is simply a draconian bill.\nI must address one issue before I conclude. That is the issue of ID cards. They area a bad idea.\nI understand why some would support it. It gets the Tories out of their mess. It actually introduces a system where now there is just prejudice and chaos.\nBut I will not be supporting it and this Labour frontbench will never support it. There is a reason we, like many other countries, don\u2019t have compulsory ID cards.\nThe obligation to carry an ID card fundamentally changes the relationship between the citizen and state. It is not the same as accessing a right. You need a drivers\u2019 licence to drive a car.\nBut you shouldn\u2019t need an ID card to walk away around the street. And guess which citizens would be most likely to be stopped for ID? It would be black people, those of Asian extraction,\nanyone who \u2018looks like\u2019 they might be foreign. They are the ones most likely to be stopped, and asked for their papers.\nID cards are not the way forward. We want to treat people with humanity, with dignity, with sanity.\nThis Government and its predecessors have long had an obsession with enriching the private sector from the public purse. This is despite whatever the cost, either financially, in shoddy service or in human misery.\nSo, now we have the grotesque spectacle of G4S being rewarded for failure at Brook House and at Tinsley House. A firm which oversaw the appalling, brutal treatment of detainees, and was exposed in the Panorama programme gets more money and a longer contract. It beggars belief.\nWe will end this rotten system. Private firms have no business in detention. They also have no business running homes for asylum seekers too.\nLabour will return this responsibility and the billions that come with it to local authorities. They are already central to integrating asylum seekers into society, so they are best placed to meet the needs of those living in their community. This is fairer for local residents and fairer for asylum seekers.\nWe will end the terrible costs of the G4S\u2019s and Serco\u2019s of this world, and offer a safe, decent and more efficient public sector system.\nAs I said at the outset, this is the latest speech on immigration.\nMy next speech will set out Labour\u2019s framework for a fair reasonable, an entirely new immigration policy.\nBut today I wanted to address some of the more egregious aspects of the Windrush scandal. I also wanted to properly outline its proportions, which are far greater than Tory Ministers are willing to admit.\nThe Labour Party burns with the injustice of what has happened to all these people. We are outraged by what is coming down the pipeline for tens of thousands of people, many of them very far from the Caribbean.We will seek to end these injustices. There can be no second-class, or non-citizens in this country.\nA greater number of people are coming to understand the terrible consequences of Theresa May\u2019s hostile environment policy. The scale of the human misery it causes.\nLabour will end it in total. Our system of fair and reasonable management of migration will be based on prioritising jobs and prosperity.\nLabours policies will always be based on our values. So our immigration policies will be based on treating people with dignity and humanity.",

        "title": "The Wonderful World of Louis Armstrong: Anniversary Madness - Louis Armstrong House Museum Turns 10!",
        "raw_content": "Anniversary Madness - Louis Armstrong House Museum Turns 10!\nMan, it's anniversary madness at the Louis Armstrong House Museum these days! Where to begin? Well, let's begin with the two people responsible for the Armstrong House: Louis and Lucille Armstrong, who were married on October 12, 1942. Here's a photo from their wedding day, taken from the Louis Armstrong House Museum Online Catalog:\nAfter months of living on a band bus during one of Louis's endless tours of one-nighters, Lucille campaigned to buy an actual home, settling on the modest space at 34-56 107th Street. It was purchased for $8,000 on March 15, 1943 and the rest is history.\nLouis and Lucille lived there until their respective deaths in 1971 and 1983. She left the House and all its contents to the City of New York and they, in turn with the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation, anointed Queens College to administer it all. All of Louis's tape recordings, photos, scrapbooks, band arrangements, books, trumpets, mouthpieces, you name it, were donated to the College, which set up a Louis Armstrong Archives, opened by Michael Cogswell in 1994.\nI first visited the Archives in January 2006, a day that truly changed my life. I was sitting on a 350 page thesis on Louis's later years but my research was missing one thing: Louis's voice. That January day, I only had time to listen to a couple of private tapes but on each one, Louis basically repeated some of the themes of my research: he was playing better in the 1950s than any other time in his life, he didn't believe in categories, he was no Uncle Tom, etc. From 2006-2009, I made multiple trips to the Archives, exploring different things, but always returning to the tapes, which I listened to dozens of in a four year stretch.\nAnd then, on October 13, 2009--four years ago yesterday--I was named Project Archivist of the Armstrong Archives. I truly landed a dream job, writing about it as soon as I got the news in this blog from September 2009. I spent my first year processing the monumental Jack Bradley Collection, then spent the next year working on the Archives' other major collections and building up the aforementioned Online Catalog. When I was retained as full-time Archivist after my original grant ended, I continued to hit the ground running, rewriting every entry on the Online Catalog on Louis's private tapes and even transferring 130 of them that had never been heard, resulting in this other blog from earlier this year that I'm very proud of. (And yes, I think I'm the only man alive who has listened to all 700-or-so tapes.)\nLast week I finished cataloging the massive collection of an early friend of this blog, influence and mentor, G\u00f6sta H\u00e4ggl\u00f6f, and I continue to stumble across incredible new discoveries on almost a weekly basis. My co-workers and interns have all been great, as have the hundreds of people who have visited me at my post. And I hope they keep coming because I know I'll never get tired of wheeling out the case with Louis's trumpets....\nBut enough about me; my anniversary was yesterday and it's now time to focus on tomorrow: the ten-year anniversary of the opening of the Louis Armstrong House Museum! If you're in the NY area, we're having an event that is the definition of bang for your buck. Dig this: $30 gets you in, gets you a Creole dinner by the Cooking Channel's Tamara Reynolds, gets you beer and wine, gets you a look at the House and gets you a concert by the Hot Sardines! Seriously, if you have an excuse not to go, well, I'm not buying it. Tickets are still available and can be purchased here.\nIn addition to that, my new exhibit on Louis's 1957 tour of South America will be up and running, featuring many photographs, including unpublished ones, by the legendary Lisl Steiner. And even more excitingly, we're unveiling a \"life mask\" of Louis that was created in the 1950s and was hung on the walls of the Armstrong House into the 1960s. It has never been displayed to the public and after some recent conservation overseen by our Curator, David Reese, it simply looks stunning. Here's a photo of Louis with the mask and two people we're assuming to be the original creators. Has anyone out there ever seen this before? I've been researching Louis for 18 years and have never come across a mention of it and Louis never discussed it either (though he made three tape box collages out of photos from this occasion!).\nThere is definitely a buzz around the Louis Armstrong House Museum these days....but especially today. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Marketing Director, Jennifer Walden Weprin, the Associated Press wrote an article about our tenth anniversary that has been spreading like wildfire today. I noticed it trickling out around 6:45 this morning. As I write this at 2 p.m., it has been picked up by 278 outlets, including a lot of big shots (USA Today, Huffington Post, ABC News) etc. It's a wonderful story and I encourage you to check it out--and spread it around your friends!--by clicking here.\nAnd finally, to bring back to a personal note: my memory is fading, but I know for a fact that the music of Louis Armstrong changed my life when I went to my local library in Toms River, NJ and checked out a Columbia compilation, 16 Most Requested Songs, in October 1995. I wish I remembered the date or I'd be celebrating that, too. My memory is telling me October 5, 10 or 12--there was a time in high school when I knew--but I can't remember. Regardless, every October I offer an internal celebration of the anniversary of the big bang moment that really changed my life. I never really thought I'd make a living being a giant Armstrong nut but somehow it's happened, thanks to my association with the Armstrong House. So I'm personally very grateful for everything that happened and all involved--Louis and Lucille picking Corona, Lucille's will, the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation, Queens College, Michael Cogswell and everything and everyone in between--to even make the Armstrong House a reality and to give a schlub like me a livelihood.\nAnd a humorous aside: when my 15-year-old self got hit with the Armstrong bug but naturally, being a moldy fig jazz fan doesn't make a prom king so for much of my high school existence in the late-90s, my jazz obsession was kept to myself and my circle of close friends. It could only stay bottled up for so long and by my senior year, it was part of my reputation. Still, I had some horrific experiences in my teenage years with members of the female persuasion. Enough to fill up a blog just about that. (Thank goodness Margaret came along ten years ago and I've never looked back!) So it was pretty surreal when on Friday--which might have been the anniversary of the big bang for all I remember--I spent an hour of my afternoon talking about Louis and the Louis Armstrong House Museum on a radio interview with two teenage girls, Rachel Trachtenburg and Julia Cumming, on their show Pure Imagination. If you would have told 15-year-old Ricko that almost 18 years to the day later, he'd be preaching about Pops on a radio show aimed at teenagers, he would have told you you're nuts....but I'm not complaining! And the show was a ball; click that link to listen.\nSo happy anniversary Louis and Lucille, happy anniversary to my job as Archivist, happy anniversary to the Armstrong House and keep celebrating all things Louis-related EVERY day of the year.",

        "raw_content": "How to Become an Emergency Veterinarian\nEveryday thousands of pet in the United States require emergency treatment. Whether this is due to being hit by a car, being 'sick' or other medical issue, the estimated 160 million household pets living in America are potential patients that will make that unexpected trip to the animal hospital. Standing by to care for these animals are specially trained Emergency Veterinarians \u2013 dedicated to providing expert, emergency medical care around the clock.\nWhat is an Emergency Veterinarian?\nThe Emergency Veterinarian is a specialist that provides medical care to animal patients at Animal Hospitals and Emergency Clinics. They treat several medical conditions including:\nAn Emergency Veterinarian also take referrals from general Veterinarians to treat existing animal patients under duress. Some of the typical emergency procedures they enact include:\nAssessing patients for trauma injuries\nIt's also typical for emergency vet's to work with veterinary internal medicine specialists and surgeons at larger veterinary hospitals. Typically the work hours for Emergency Veterinarians can be chaotic. Due to the fact that most emergency vet hospitals are open around the clock, they can be expected to work late evenings, weekends, and some holidays. Emergency Veterinarians also tend to put in more work per week than other specialists.\nThe Educational Path for an Emergency Veterinarian\nIn order to become an emergency veterinarian, a qualified candidate must first receive their Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. This course of study covers both small and larger animals. There are currently 28 different accredited Veterinary Medicine colleges in the United States that offers the DVM program. After passing the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam (NAVLE) to become a licensed Veterinarian the candidate will then proceed to completing the Board Certification program in the specialty of emergency and critical care Veterinary Medicine.\nThis program starts with a three-year residency program that is administered by approved emergency medical programs. Once the residency is completed, the candidate will need to pass the Board Certification that is administered by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. As of 2013, the American Veterinary Medical Association estimates that there are currently 468 Board Certified diplomats that specialize in Veterinary emergency and critical care.\nThe initial educational phase that must be completed prior to heading to medical school is receiving a Bachelor Degree. During this four year program, it is recommended that a potential emergency veterinarian complete core studies in biological sciences, anatomy, physiology, mathematics, chemistry and communications. It's also a great idea for the future Veterinarian to volunteer at local animal shelters or attempt to gain a part-time job at a Veterinary clinic or hospital in some capacity. This allows the student to gather real world working experience and determine if a career in this profession is as good in person as it might be on paper.\nAn Emergency Veterinarian must first become a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. This degree is completed at an accredited Veterinary medical college. It's a four year program that will focus on general animal anatomy, virology, nutrition and physiology during the first two years. The third year then focuses on clinical study and the final year of educational training is spent at Veterinary hospitals that are accredited by the Veterinary medical school. This is also where the licensing exam is taken. In order to practice Veterinary medicine a candidate must pass the North American Veterinary Licensing Exam. Most states require additional certification to practice in each state.\nComplete an Emergency Veterinarian Residency Program\nThe residency program for being an Emergency Veterinarian is designed to train a Veterinarian to become highly diverse in both human and veterinary ICU procedures, develop exceptional critical thinking skills and become highly competent in clinical practice of emergency and critical veterinary care \u2013 while maintaining a professional image at all times.\nThis program lasts three years and is completed upon successfully passing the board certification exam. During the residency program, the candidate will focus on several tasks including:\nCompleting on hands clinical work in a certified veterinary intensive care unit \u2013 under the direction and supervision of a board certified critical care specialist.\nImprove understanding of pathophysiology and master advanced technical skills that will permit them to provide better emergency care during high-stressful situations.\nReviewing case studies, scientific journals and participate in critical care conferences that will accelerate the critical thinking and communication skillset.\nDocument and submit case reports for peer-review.\nOnce the residency is completed, the candidate will submit for board certification. This exam will be administered by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care.\nUnderstanding the Career Path of Becoming an Emergency Veterinarian\nCareer Options for Emergency Veterinarians\nAs the profession is named, Emergency Veterinarians most frequently work in Emergency Veterinary Hospitals or clinics. It's common for an Emergency Veterinarian to choose a specialty \u2013 either large animals (primarily livestock or equine) or small animals (primary domesticated pets). It's also common for experienced emergency veterinarians to find employment opportunities with colleges and universities to become educators. This often requires additional education to become a PhD.\nIn conjunction with the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (VECCS), a salary survey was completed by Veterinary Information Network (VIN) from February to March in 2012. The survey included the feedback of 423 individuals that listed Emergency Veterinary as a service they provided. A breakdown of those that were surveyed included 44 practice owners, 20 shareholders of Emergency Care facilities, and 358 associates that practice Emergency Veterinary Medicine provided feedback in this survey.\nThe range in salary was from $50,000 to $500,000. The average was $160,601 and the median was $120,000. The high end of this scale was reserved for individuals that owned emergency care facilities.\nMaking the decision to follow a career path of becoming an Emergency Veterinarian is one that any candidate must carefully consider. Although the growth potential and salary range is exceptional, the hard work and dedication required to be a successful emergency vet requires incredible determination. Due to the traumatic injuries that often are associated with emergency veterinary care, it's also suggested that any candidate have an exceptional ability to maintain professionalism \u2013 during times of potential emotional stress.\nAn emergency veterinarian can be the savior that provides exceptional critical care to save a patient life \u2013 but they also have the unenviable task of reporting bad news to pet owners. This skill requires exceptional tact, and compassion. Take this into consideration while making a choice to follow the career path of becoming an Emergency Veterinarian.\nEnd-of-Life Communication in Veterinary Medicine: Delivering Bad News and Euthanasia Decision Making\nHow Far Should We Go to Save Our Pets: Veterinarians with Wondrous New Treatments Face Ethical Dilemma\nVeterinary Practice News: 24 Hour Emergency Vet Clinics",

        "raw_content": "My Twitter friend Brett tweeted something that I\u2019ve been feeling and struggling with for months and months now. Basically, that there are times where I want to say something \u201cout loud\u201d to my social network, but I know I\u2019ll need more than the 140 characters that will fit in a tweet, but it doesn\u2019t feel large enough to blog about. I end up just \u201ceating\u201d the thought and it never escapes my head, but it\u2019ll bother me for days, because of that need to get it out.\nSo, I\u2019d like to try a little experiment. I\u2019m giving myself \u201cpermission\u201d to write those thoughts out as quick, short little blog entries. I have no idea what\u2019ll happen, but I\u2019ve sat on my hands long enough and it\u2019s time for a change.\nWhat a great idea. I\u2019ve been using Tumblr the past few days, trying to ease myself back into writing longer posts. Maybe it\u2019s not the length, but the content. That\u2019s what\u2019s always important to me. And I\u2019m starting to think that a lot of people don\u2019t quite have the patience to read longer posts now.\nHi, Mercy! Thanks for stopping by \ud83d\ude09\nThere\u2019s definitely an element of \u201ctl;dr\u201d when it comes to blog posts, unless you\u2019re writing something eminently useful that people will invest the time in reading. That\u2019s why Twitter is so brilliant \u2014 it forces people to keep it short.\nI just can\u2019t get into Tumblr \u2026 it seems like most of them are just girls hot-linking images from across the web, like a weird bookmarking service. I\u2019d rather have stuff on my blog, in case Tumblr goes down (again) or eventually gets bought by some company that will let it stagnate and eventually kill it off \u2026\nIt\u2019s a good idea! I used Tumblr for that for a while. \ud83d\ude42\nYeah, I tried \u2013 just haven\u2019t been able to get \u201cinto\u201d using Tumblr or Posterous \u2013 but, I just realized they both do have a \u201cpost by email\u201d capability, so maybe I\u2019ll give them a try. But, honestly, I\u2019d rather have everything really all funnel into the blog, where I still own and control the data, rather than it sitting out on some service that might lose it, etc.\nThanks to the Church Sign Generator it's now trivially easy \u2026 \u00bb more\nI need to learn to have productive arguments\nSteve Goguen and I regularly discuss all sorts of things, \u2026 \u00bb more\none down, thirty-one to go\nOn Monday, November 10th, I took my first trip to the \u2026 \u00bb more",

        "raw_content": "Earthquake Kit Guide > Blog > General > Cascadia Rising \u2013 Largest Earthquake Drill in The Region\nThere\u2019s been talk of \u201cThe Big One\u201d for years that\u2019s supposed to hit the west coast of U.S. and Canada. Scientists have said we\u2019re long overdue and that we definitely should be prepared. Cascadia Rising is being held June 7 to 10 and will be the largest earthquake drill in the region.\nOver 20,000 people will be involved who will be rehearsing disaster scenarios such as a massive earthquake and tsunami hitting the region. U.S.government, the military, and state and local emergency managers have been developing this drill over the past few years to help prepare for the worst when it strikes.\nThe main goal is to test how well everyone works together to quickly respond and minimize damage and deaths when \u201cThe Big One\u201d does actually hit. It\u2019s predicted that it will generate huge tsunami waves so it\u2019s not just the earthquake that we need to be prepared for.\nIt Could Happen At Any Time\nResearchers have found that the Cascadia Subduction Zone produces a massive magnitude 9.0 earthquake every 500 years on average. This doesn\u2019t mean it will happen exactly 500 years apart as big quakes have occurred only 200 years apart and as many as 1,000 years apart. Unfortunately it\u2019s impossible to predict when the next one will hit but seismologists say that tectonic stress has been accumulating in the Cascadia Subduction Zone for over 300 years already so it can indeed rupture at anytime.\nWith more than 8 million people living in the area it has the potential to cause some serious damage as heavily populated areas like Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver will be affected. Studies have shown that coastal towns are especially at risk as forecasts have estimated that up to 1,100 people could die from a magnitude 9.0 earthquake but a whopping 13,500 may die from the tsunami that follows.\nDevastating tsunamis were experienced by Indonesia when a massive 9.1 earthquake created 100 ft (30 m) tsunamis that killed over 230,000 people in 2004 and more recently the 2011 Japan earthquake that generated waves as ridiculously high as 133 ft (40.m)!\nPreparedness and Planning is Crucial\nWith more and more evidence suggesting a powerful earthquake will hit the region, it\u2019s crucial that preparedness and planning events like Cascadia Rising occur more frequently to train and better coordinate rescue efforts. Even though government and emergency groups are preparing with regards to rescue efforts, we as citizens must also prepare. The more prepared we are the less we\u2019ll need to rely on emergency responders and they\u2019ll be available to help others in need.\nUnfortunately even though people hear about this, most aren\u2019t even prepared. They don\u2019t have an earthquake kit, they don\u2019t have an evacuation plan, they don\u2019t even know what they should do in an earthquake. This lack of preparedness can be costly so government along with citizens like you and I are trying to spread the word and educate others to keep more people safe.\nAre you prepared? What steps have you taken or are taking to be prepared? Share with us in the comments section and help others get prepared as well.",

Egwu, in June 2000 in order to give impetus to the development of culture and tourism potential that abounds in the State. The Ministry is presently located along Enugu-Abakaliki Express Road, just in front of Democracy Estate, Abakaliki. The Ministry has the following parastatals attached to her:\nEbonyi State Council for Arts and Culture\nEbonyi State Tourism Board\nEbonyi Hotels Abakaliki\nEbonyi Hotels Afikpo\nList of Tourist Attractions in Ebonyi State\nEbonyi State is indeed blessed with many places endowed with naturally beautiful features. The environment is unique in nature and, hence, attracts people for sightseeing and relaxation. Some of these places are fully developed while others are receiving attention from both the State and Federal governments. The following are some of the tourism destinations within the State.\nThe Abakaliki Green Lake: It is located right inside Government House. Small huts are built there for relaxation and for visitors to admire the many wonders of nature.\nThe Abakaliki Golf Course: The environment is naturally beautiful and equipped for games by golf players. It is equally located at Abakaliki, the State capital.\nThe Amusement Park: This park is wonderfully made as a relaxation spot especially for children. It is well equipped to serve the purpose. It is a place you cannot afford to miss as a visitor to Ebonyi State. It is also located at Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State.\nAmanchor Cave: The cave Is located at Amanchor in Afikpo South. The Cave is about 4 kilometers long. Plans are underway to develop this cave, as it is capable of attracting visitors to the site from within and outside the country.\nThe Golden Sand Beaches at Ndibe, Ozizza and Unwana (all in Afikpo zone of the State) and Oferekpe Beach in Ikwo LGA of the State are all tourism destinations in the State.\nMkpuma Ekwa Oku Rocks: These are rocks naturally shaped like eggs.

        "title": "Natural Equilibrium Home Prices",
        "raw_content": "Natural Equilibrium Home Prices\nPosted in Home Sales Statistics, by Lawrence Yun, PhD., Chief Economist and Senior Vice President on July 7, 2011\nIn the short run, home prices will be strictly determined by demand. Supply cannot be brought in line in a short time-frame. It takes time to get permits, draw up architectural plans, bring in earth-moving equipment, etc. Therefore, a spike in the number of buyers along with a fixed supply of homes will result in home prices shooting through the roof.\nIn the long run, however, prices will be mostly determined by supply, particularly from the cost of construction and land prices. If homes are selling for $300,000 and the cost to buy the land and build a near-identical home is $200,000, then home builders will find themselves busy. Sufficient supply then would bring the price back down to the point where incentives to further build would disappear.\nIf the cost of construction were to spike, say due to rising prices of lumber, bricks, copper, the construction crew\u2019s wage rate and/or many other considerations that go into construction, then naturally home price will be pushed up as well. If the cost of construction is not rising, but home values are, then one should pause to consider how home builders will respond to those situations before submitting an offer.\nThere will be times when home values will fall well below the cost of construction and persist at that low level for a long time. One good example of this is Germany in the early 90s. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, many from the east of the country went searching for better paying jobs in the west. That left a depressing number of vacant homes in the eastern part and hence home prices fell well below the cost of construction and remained there to this day. At the same time, demand for homes rose in what used to be West Germany but without a rise in home prices because plenty of new homes were built to match the increases in population. In the U.S., parts of the Detroit Metro region have plenty of homes selling at bargain-basement prices, well below the replacement cost. Yet home prices are not moving up because a sizable number of residents have left the city. Only when population stabilizes or sees a rise can home values be expected to trend back up to their natural equilibrium, in line with the cost of construction.\nIt would appear then the natural long run home price is solely determined by the cost of construction. This cost, however, should be fairly similar across the country. The price of bricks in Portland, Oregon should be not that much different than in Portland, Maine, other than to account for the cost of transporting them. Then what accounts for the differences in home price between San Francisco (where the median price is $466,000) and Houston ($149,000), or from one neighborhood to the next?\nIn Houston and many interior parts of the country, the dynamics of the natural equilibrium price are always heeded. If there is strong housing demand, the builders simply build more at that price. Supply increases in line with rising demand. If demand falls, builders stop building.\nThat is not the case in San Francisco. If demand rises, builders do not build, because they cannot obtain housing permits. In some neighborhoods with unique, spectacular views from a hilltop, for example, there is simply no land available to build. In other nearby places, there is land but there are too many hoops to go through and loops to satisfy the planning office. Therefore, home price will be unrelated to the cost of construction in San Francisco. Prices simply rise, at times far above the cost of construction, and there is no new supply to bring it down. One would therefore expect the potential for sudden large changes in home prices in San Francisco depending on how demand changes. Given that supply does not respond to changes in demand, there will always be an affordable housing problem in San Francisco. There will be constant discussion among city officials about how to house the moderate-income families and what measures need to be taken to alleviate housing costs, but one should not expect any meaningful success as long as supply does not respond. Houston, on the other hand, mostly solves its affordable housing problem by letting builders respond to demand.\nFinally, it is worth noting that at this point in the housing cycle, home values appear to be back to natural equilibrium from a broad nationwide perspective. If one assumes that home prices were justified in 2000 then prices are now justified in 2011 because the home values and the cost of construction in both cases match up nicely. Locally, you as the area-expert REALTOR\u00ae would know best on whether prices are justified and what should be the natural equilibrium price, based on whether supply can easily respond along with the local cost of construction.\nTags:Affordability,Construction,Home Price Measures\nRaw Count of Home Sales (January 2016)\nRealtor\u00ae Confidence in Home Price Outlook Increases\nYour chart here only shows data up to a year ago!\nWould you pls. send me what has just happened for the available data up to June 2011?",

Except in four states, REALTORS\u00ae reported that buyer conditions were \u201cstrong\u201d to \u201cvery strong\u201d compared to conditions one year ago.[1] Buyer traffic conditions were \u201cvery strong\u201d in Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio, and the District of Columbia. An index greater than 50 indicates that more respondents reported \u201cstronger\u201d than \u201cweaker\u201d buyer traffic conditions during the month compared to one year ago.\nA healthy economy and the solid pace of job creation continues to drive homebuying demand. Arizona, Colorado, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Washington are states with the healthiest job growth (above two percent.\nUse the data visualization below to check out the states with the strongest employment growth since 2012. Orange areas have employment rates above two percent.\nNationally, the REALTORS\u00ae Buyer Traffic Index registered at 70 (69 in January 2018; 70 in February 2017), while the REALTORS\u00ae Seller Traffic Index was at 44 (44 in January 2018; 41 in February 2017). An index above 50 indicates that more respondents reported stronger than weaker conditions compared to one year ago, so the data indicates that homebuying demand continues to outpace supply.\nSupply has generally not kept pace with demand. Seller conditions were \u201cweak\u201d in 25 states and in the District of Columbia, and in many states, seller traffic conditions have not changed compared to one year ago. However, respondents from Wyoming, North Dakota, Nevada, and Alaska mostly reported that seller traffic has increased compared to one year ago.\n[1] In generating the indices, NAR uses data for the last three surveys to have close to 30 observations. Small states such as AK, ND, SD, MT, VT, WY, WV, DE, and D.C., may have fewer than 30 observations. For graphical purposes, index values from 25.01 to 45 are labeled \u201cWeak,\u201d values of 45.01 to 55 are labeled \u201cStable,\u201d values of 55.01 to 75 are labeled \u201cStrong,\u201d and values greater than 75 are labeled \u201cVery Strong.\u201d\nTags:interactive map,REALTOR\u00ae Confidence Index,Regional and Local Data\nLatest Producer Prices",

        "raw_content": "Ray Hudson.\nSage; London (2005) 248 pages. List Price: \u00a320.99/ $41.95 ISBN 9780761948940\nReviewed by Arnoud Lagendijk and Roos Pijpers,\nDepartment of Human Geography and Spatial Planning,\nNijmegen School of Management,\nFor a long time, we have been looking for a textbook for our theoretically oriented economic geography Course that suits the critical and cultural focus of our Masters Curriculum. In particular, we like to build on the current aspiration to combine political-economic and cultural forms of theorising and analysing economic geographies through a relational approach (Barnes, 2001). So we highly welcomed the way Hudson\u2019s volume pursues such an agenda covering a wide range of topics. After carving out its own position in the theoretical debate (Chapter 1) Economic Geographies presents a discussion on four types of flows and transformations, namely of value and capital (2), material and nature (3), knowledge and meaning (4), and people (5). After that, the book zooms in onto four types of spaces: regulation and governance, production, sale, consumption and identities, and concludes with contemplating the desirable but difficult conversion of space of pollution and waste into \u2018spaces of sustainability\u2019. Because of the latter emphasis, Hudson\u2019s volume also offers scope for engaging with the debates on environment and sustainability, which constitute an important pillar within the wider teaching and research cluster in which our Curriculum is embedded. As a result, our opinion here is based not only on our own reading, but also on teaching experiences and feedback from the students.\nIndeed, it is not so much the way Economic Geographies meets our own interests, but the reception by our students that has informed us while writing this review. We assess this work as a textbook for graduate teaching (although the cover also recommends it for \u2018upper level undergraduates\u2019) primarily for economic geography students. A clearly positive point is that the book present good value for money, even with the mark-up for continental sales. But after the purchase, we quickly encounter a major problem. The initial feedback from our students, who are well trained in reading academic literature in English, point out that the book is hard to read. Many long and complex sentences, sometimes convoluted, only occasionally punctuated by limited textual and graphic illustrations. Another problem is that while Hudson takes great care to introduce and explain certain concepts, such as those dealing with the capitalist production of value, the organisation of work and spaces of consumption and production, other, often more abstracts concepts such as the structural class relation, spatial fixes and commodity form are used as common terms. Obviously, there is no way a book like this can match the starting levels and expectations of all its (potential) readers, given the wide variety in the way (economic) geography is taught at undergraduate and graduate levels. What struck us, as well as our students, however, is the variation in the style of writing and argumentation between the chapters. While some chapters were considered not easy but doable and interesting (the introductory chapter and the section on regulation and governance), other chapters were considered almost too easy and, in places, superficial (Flows of People and Spaces of Sale). The dense way the chapter on flows of value and circuit of capital is written, on the other hand, proved to a major stumble block even for those better versed in Marxist literature.\nTurning from style to content, again a mixed picture emerges. We admire the way Hudson takes issue with some of the current \u2018received wisdoms\u2019. In Chapter One, he rejects the idea that we live in a \u2018consumption\u2019 driven economy, on the grounds that the organisation and promotion of production is still is dominant factor in shaping economic space. He considers the shift to a \u2018sign-value-centred present\u2019 unfounded (p. 10), in a sense that markets and production have always manifested a symbolic and cultural dimension as part of their social construction. The idea that we live in a new era of self-consciousness is denounced as \u2018quite absurd\u2019 (p. 11). Rather, most practices and decisions seem to be guided by ingrained habits and \u2018received wisdoms\u2019, which also explains why \u2018unintended consequences\u2019 of economic action are rife. In later chapters, he also takes issue with the coining of the \u2018knowledge economy\u2019. Rather than the development and circulation of knowledge itself, what is new is the significance of knowledge as a \u201cfictitious commodity\u201d (p. 34).\nOne could wonder to what extent do later chapters stand up to these strong positions - considering the way these highlight the \u2018cultural turn\u2019 in production, sales and consumption. Writing passionately, Hudson elucidates how the home can become both a space of work (homework, internet sale) and of consumption, and as such has contributed to the control of female labour and the socialisation of women at the same time. This passion also manifests itself in the way he describes knowledge being controlled by retailers and advertiser in their relentless, increasingly sophisticated efforts to lure consumers: \u201cconsumers in effect gather around metaphorical camp fires \u2013 websites, newspapers, the pub, the kitchen table \u2013 swapping and listening to stories about brands\u201d (p. 73). In the same way, he insightfully links flexible specialisation and associated forms of business organisation, a long-standing debate within economic geography, to the sociology of work in this era of \u2018soft\u2019 capitalism. Yet, despite thus hinting at the disciplinary effects of capitalist social relations, the discursive selectivity of new spatial fixes is never really explained. At the end of Chapter 9, for instance, far too brief a reference is made to Miller (2002), wherein real life has been institutionalised and bureaucratised to mirror economic models rather than vice versa.\nOn the other hand, Hudson remains committed to an \u2018economy first\u2019 position regarding business development and the state, reproducing capitalist economic relations \u2018in the last instance\u2019 (p. 99). The legitimacy of the state is at stake, too. And, at the end of almost every chapter, Hudson makes an effort to draw his readers\u2019 attention to economies beyond regulation and the lives of the working poor, for whom access to circuits and flows is limited and often involuntary. This does not come, however, with a more in-depth analysis of how such patterns and practices are culturally embedded and reproduced (cf. Jessop, 2004). Hence, in the end, Hudson does not entirely come to grips with his aim to understand contemporary economic geographies from a combined political-economy and cultural-economy perspective. Rather, the political-economic and the cultural-economic run in parallel. Perhaps what we feel is a missing element in this otherwise original and thought-provoking book is a more fundamental discussion on the relationships between the economic and non-economic beyond class relations.\nThe authors are grateful to the students of the Master Course Economic Geographies: Foundations, Critiques and Alternatives 2007 at the Radboud University Nijmegen for presenting and discussing their views on Hudson\u2019s book.\nBarnes, T.

Other factors that increase the chances of a blood clot include:\nWarfarin works by slowing the production of clotting factors, which the body makes by using vitamin K from food. Levels of vitamin K in a person\u2019s diet could influence the effects of warfarin.\nIt is possible that vitamin-K rich diets can reduce the effectiveness of warfarin.\nThe warfarin diet\nVitamin K, which is in some foods, has an important role in blood clotting, and how warfarin works.\nThe liver uses vitamin K to produce clotting factors, which are cells that help to control bleeding and enable blood clots to form.\nWarfarin disrupts this clotting process by inhibiting an enzyme in the liver that uses vitamin K to form clotting factors.\nWarfarin can reduce the chances of a dangerous blood clot forming by increasing the time it takes for the liver to produce clotting factors.\nAlcohol can also affect the action of warfarin and, therefore, the risk of developing blood clots.\nHigh levels of alcohol consumption can alter the way the body metabolizes warfarin.\nThe AHA suggest that, on average, men should drink no more than one or two drinks per day, and women should drink no more than one drink per day.\nExamples of one drink are a 12-oz beer, a 4-oz glass of wine, 1/5 oz of 80-proof spirits, or 1 oz of 100-proof spirits.\nDrinking too much alcohol can be particularly harmful for people taking warfarin. A study of 570 people in 2015 found that alcohol misuse has links to a higher risk of major bleeding in people taking warfarin.\nWarfarin can help to prevent dangerous blood clots. It works by slowing the production of clotting factors, which the body makes by using vitamin K from food. Levels of vitamin K in a person\u2019s diet could influence the effects of warfarin.\nPeople taking warfarin must avoid eating too many foods that are high in vitamin K, but it is not necessary to avoid these foods entirely. A stable diet, containing around 60 to 80 mcg of vitamin K is desirable.\nPeople on warfarin must also ensure that they only consume alcohol in moderation. High levels of alcohol may affect the metabolism of warfarin and increase the risk of major bleeding.\nHealth News\t19, avoid, diet, Foods, to, Warfarin\n\u00ab Researchers discover how sleep can fight infection\nCountry's largest union to 'consult widely' with members about pay rises offered to nurses \u00bb",

That's a remarkable number of coincidences that could cause the casual observer to believe that there are the makings of a race here. Don't be fooled.\nThe demographics of this riding never change much - its a mill town on BC's coast with the usual granola types, fishermen and in this ridings' case a large, well-run and politically active native population. Not to mention a riding heavily reliant on subsidized ferry routes.\nAll of that means a very strong NDP result on election day. This time possibly in the 60% range.

        "raw_content": "Lawyer Markelov killed in Moscow | Belarusian Legal Portal\nEuropean Parliament welcomes and demands ODIHR OSCE Director arrives to Minsk\nLawyer Markelov killed in Moscow\nStanislav Markelov, famous Russian lawyer, was assassinated in the center of Moscow on 19 January.\nMarkelov was member of the Interrepublican Bar and founder of the Institute of the Supremacy of Law. He has provided legal assistance in a number of cases after the violent break-ups of demonstrations in Minsk and worked as an observer in the 2001 presidential election. The lawyer participated in a number of notorious trials of abuses by Russia\u2019s army in Chechnya, crimes against journalists and anti-Fascist activists.\nAmong high profile cases he worked on, Stanislav Markelov was the lawyer of the family of Chechen girl Kheda Kungaeva, who was abducted, raped and strangled to death in March 2000. Colonel Yuri Budanov was sentenced for the murder.\nIn 2004 Markelov was beaten up by unknown persons in the Moscow underground. The police refused to investigate the case.\nMarkelov was also the lawyer of a number of Russian journalists, including Anna Politkovskaya, assassinated in the center of Moscow in 2006.\nAccording to www.welt.de, \u2018on the day of the assassination, the 34 year old Markelov appeared at a press conference, speaking against the early release of former colonel Yuri Budanov. Budanov was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2003 for the brutal rape and murder of the Chechnyan girl Lisa Kungayeva. The former tank regiment commander was released from prison on the 15 January. Markelov, who represented the family of the victim, announced at the conference that he was considering challenging Budanov\u2019s early release in an International Court. Following the press conference, shortly after 2 pm, the lawyer walked with 25 year old journalist Anastasia Baburova, writer for the newspaper\u201dNovaya Gaseta\u201c for which Anna Politkovskaya also worked, down Pretshistenka Street in the direction of the underground station\u201dKropotkinskaya.\u201c The culprit followed the pair, pulled a mask over his head and shot Markelov with a silenced pistol in the throat and then at the nape of the neck. The lawyer died immediately. Baburova also received a gunshot wound at the nape of her neck but survived only to die later that evening in hospital.\nAfter Monday\u2019s horrifying double-slaying, Moscow detectives launched a search for the approximately 180 cm tall culprit who brutally murdered the lawyer Stanislav Markelov and journalist Anastasia Baburova in broad daylight before the eyes of thousands of witnesses. So far the search has not turned up one trace.\u2019\nMarkelov worked for a number of human rights organizations, including Moscow Helsinki Group and the Memorial Foundation.\nTags: assassination, human rights, Markelov, Russia",

The lecture is held in honour of UKZN Professor, Ruth Edgecombe, who was a passionate scholar of environmental history who contributed to the growing research in this field of study in South Africa.\nHosted by UKZN\u2019s School of Environmental Sciences and the Wilderness Action Group, this year\u2019s lecture featured renowned environmental activist, Mr Bobby Peek. Director and founding member of groundWork, a non-governmental environmental justice organisation in Pietermaritzburg, Peek spoke on the topic: \u201cClimate Change and COP17: is climate justice a reality for South Africans?\u201d\nMs Olubisi Ashiru, Infection, Prevention, Control Unit, discusses her poster with Professor Umesh Lalloo. In the background are Professor Tahir Pillay and Ms Ashika Gopaul of the Discipline of Medical Biochemistry.\nThe annual College of Health Sciences Research Symposium was held recently at UKZN\u2019s Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine.

To mark this anniversary, not only did current students deliver oral and poster presentations, but they were joined by 1974 Medical School graduate, Professor Saraladevi Naicker and member of the Class of 1990 Professor Bongani Mayosi, who both stressed the importance of research productivity, especially among young scientists.\nA Colloquium on \u201cThe Teacher Education Landscape\u201d hosted by the Faculty of Education provided the Faculty with an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in the education system and to map a trajectory for priorities.\nDean of the Faculty, Professor Michael Samuel, noted that: \u2018we are now more than five years into a merged institution which drew on our different biographical institutional heritages which chose to foreground different understandings of the goals for Faculties of Education.\u2019\n\u2018This year saw the introduction of a new policy framework of Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualifications, and the development of the National Integrated Strategic Policy Framework for...\nProfessor Volker Wedekind (right) hands a certificate to one of the school subject advisors.\nIn partnership with the provincial Department of Education (DoE) UKZN hosted a Certification Ceremony on September 23 at the Colin Webb Hall on the Pietermaritzburg campus for primary school subject advisors.

He presented an approach to HIV prevention that is more comprehensive than the ABC method - SAVE (Safer practices, Available medicine, Voluntary, confidential testing and counselling, Empowerment and education).\nUsed in prevention programmes around the world, ABC stands for \u2018Abstinence; Be faithful; use Condoms.\u2019 However the way in which it is often presented is more like: \u2018Abstain, if you can\u2019t abstain, be faithful, and if you can\u2019t be faithful, use a condom\u2019. The implication that the use of a condom automatically marks a person as unable to be faithful, fuels stigma and acts as a disincentive to evidence-based prevention...\nAdvocate Busisiwe Mngoma.\nThe Women in Leadership and Leverage Committee (WILL) at UKZN hosted Advocate Busisiwe Mngoma who gave a presentation on effective ways of managing conflict in the workplace.\nMngoma, who is an alumnus of the University, manages the Office of the Ombudsman at UKZN. She joined the University as a manager of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Unit.\nMngoma said that for one to be able to deal with conflict, they need to understand what the term means and to explore the nature of the conflict. She added that conflict is not a fight but a disagreement. A number of factors can lead to conflict like a new work environment and new colleagues. She added that there are also different stages of conflict, which are usually caused by something deeper.\nThe UKZN stand proved to be very popular at the National Tourism Careers Expo.\nTourism is a national priority, but the development of the sector is constrained by a severe skills shortage, especially at a higher level of qualification. This is why the government once again organized the National Tourism Careers Expo (NTCE), which was held at the Moses Mabhida stadium in Durban from September 23-25. Over 15 000 Travel and Tourism learners and their educators from all over the country filed through the exhibition to learn about tourism careers and Higher Education options in the tourism field.\nThe UKZN stand was one of the most popular stopping points due to the tireless efforts of 20 student volunteers from the Cultural and Heritage Tourism Programme. Under the leadership of BA Tourism graduates, Ms Jacqueline Cafun and in particular Ms Arisha Govender, students engaged the learners with beautiful collages, creative hand-made displays and interactive activities, such as face painting...\nA second group, made up of 100 students from Kingswood residence, descended on the Transnet Natural Heritage Site.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home > Publications & Downloads > Publications & Reports > Research > Water quality > The Water Framework Directive, Assessment, Participation and Protected Areas: What are the Relationships? (WAPPA)\nThe Water Framework Directive, Assessment, Participation and Protected Areas: What are the Relationships? (WAPPA)\nFinal Report (W. Sheate & S. Bennett)\nSummary: Final report from the ERTDI-funded project 2005-W-DS-24-M1 (W. Sheate & S. Bennett), SEA, WFD, EPA\nThe Water Framework Directive (WFD) 2000/60/EC has significant interconnections and linkages with other EU legislation. The focus of this study was on the similarities and overlaps between the WFD and the Environmental Assessment directives (Environmental Impact Assessment [EIA] \u2013 85/337/EEC as amended by 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC, and Strategic Environmental Assessment [SEA] \u2013 2001/42/EC), Public Participation directive (2003/35/EC), and the Birds (79/409/EEC) and Habitats (92/43/EC) directives. The aim of the study was to examine the extent and nature of potential overlaps of the WFD with the Birds, Habitats, Public Participation, EIA and SEA directives within River Basin Districts (RBDs) in Ireland. Specific objectives were to:\nclarify the legal relationship between the six directives;\nidentify situations where overlaps are possible;\ndescribe in detail selected case studies of potential overlaps within RBDs in Ireland; and\nmake recommendations for resolving any problems which emerge.\nThe research was undertaken primarily from January to July 2006 and included an extensive literature review, a review of relevant case law, detailed textual and legal analysis of the directives, an email survey of stakeholders and detailed analysis of three case studies. The WFD provided the focus for the textual analysis of the six directives and its linkages with the other directives. The key links between the WFD and the other directives relate, for example, to their objectives to integrate the environment into decision-making, forms of assessment required, and public involvement in decision-making. Three case studies were selected (Greater Dublin Water Supply, Lough Corrib, and international RBDs with Northern Ireland, UK), each with the potential to highlight different sets of interactions between the WFD and the other directives.\nMost significant among the interactions identified was the potential for overlap in assessment between the WFD and SEA. All river basin management plans (RBMPs) and programmes of measure (POMs) will need to be screened for SEA, but prima facie both would appear to have the potential to meet the SEA directive criteria. The view from this research is that both RBMPs and POMs should be subject to the SEA directive, recognising that each will need to assess different issues at their respective levels. The consultation requirements on the RBMPs are quite demanding and consultation strategies need to be put in place well in advance of drafting the RBMPs/POMs. SEA can help facilitate this, for example through consultation on the environmental report at the same time as the draft RBMP/POMs. There is a need for consistent methods of involving \u2018interested parties\u2019 across the RBDs and for good coordination between authorities managing RBDs.\nThe potential interactions between RBMPs and county development plans (CDPs) are numerous and potentially far reaching. The exact nature of the relationship will depend upon the types of developments that are likely to emerge out of the RBMP/POMs process that are of sufficient importance to influence CDPs; and those that are likely to arise through the development planning process and have significant influence upon the RBMP/POMs process. SEAs and EIAs may be triggered by RBMPs/POMs and CDPs, amendments to these plans and via significant infrastructure projects, creating the potential for overlaps, duplication and synergy between different levels of assessment.\nThe WFD has the potential to complement the Habitats and Birds directives in improving the ecological status of aquatic Natura 2000 sites (the European ecological network of special areas of conservation). However, both RBMPs and POMs will need to be screened for appropriate assessment (AA) under the Habitats directive on a case-by-case basis as to whether they might have adverse effects on the integrity of a designated site. Guidance will also be needed on how AA should interact with SEA and EIA where these are undertaken for RBMPs, POMs and projects. From this research it is clear that data issues remain uppermost in terms of the challenges faced by RBDs and conservation bodies implementing the Birds and Habitats directives.\nBaseline data from different processes, particularly in relation to conservation, need to be improved as a matter of urgency \u2013 both in terms of quality of data gathered and their availability.\nFinally, although not considered in detail in this research (given its draft status) the proposed EU Floods directive provides a further example where potential overlap may occur with the WFD, and will warrant further study once it has been finalised.\nFollow this link to view the associated documentation on our SAFER database",

        "raw_content": "Why do we celebrate Gudi Padwa?\nGudi Padwa is a festival that augments the new year and is usually celebrated on the first day of the Indian month of Chaita according to the lunar calendar. Most of the Indian festivals have a very special and intriguing history and it is interesting to see the manner in which they are celebrated. This Maharashtrian festival is no exception and provides you with many tales related to it. Also called Ugadi in the Indian state of Karnataka, this is a festival, which is filled with a certain charm, and vibrance that is visually delightful.\nLet us see some of the interesting stories that show the customs and traditions of Gudi Padwa. This is a celebration of the victory march of Shivaji Maharaja, the veteran Maratha leader. The festival is celebrated in honour of this great king who had a kingdom that spread across the entire western part of India. This is the reason people worship the gudi which is a cloth which flies like a flag, that is usually a sign of victory in an army.\nGudi Padwa is also considered the harvest festival, which shows that the rabi crop has ended for the season. This is the time when mangoes and other fruits are reaped. Gudi Padwa is the time when you find delicious ripe mangoes in the market.\nAgain, there is another reason why this festival is celebrated. It is believed that this is the day when the universe was created. It is believed by all Hindus that this is the day Lord Brahma created the world. It is thus dedicated to the innumerable Gods we have in the country. Legend has it that Lord Vishnu took the Matsya incarnation or the form of the fish on this day. This was an incarnation to save the entire earth from destruction or pralaya.\nToday with the augment of cheer and joy, Gudi Padwa is a celebration that is much awaited and this is a time when people pray for the well being of everyone. It is believed that good wins over evil and it is an auspicious day for all.\nLet us all pray for a better world free of all sufferings, disorder, and anomalies in the society this Gudi Padwa.\nHistory and meaning of Holi\nSarpa Dosha Causes, Effects & Remedies\nSignificance of Vaishnavism\nCultural and religious significance of the Jambukeswarar Temple, Thiruvanaikaval",

        "raw_content": "..... Chapter 1\nHEN I ARRIVED at Ariane\u2019s house, she greeted me with a wet kiss, quite a kiss\u2014lascivious, shameless, dizzying. It was the very kiss that I had dreamed of when I was a boy, except for the fact that she tasted of scotch.\n\u201cI used to dream of that kiss,\u201d I said. \u201cExcept for the scotch, that was exactly the kiss that I dreamed of when I was a boy.\u201d\n\u201cAll the little boys dreamed of kisses from Tootsie Koochikov,\u201d she said. She took my coat.\n\u201cI had forgotten that they called you that,\u201d I said.\n\u201cHad you?\u201d she said. \u201cI hadn\u2019t.\u201d\n\u201cWell,\u201d I said, embarrassed, not certain how she wanted me to respond.\nShe shrugged and handed me a glass with some of the same scotch she was drinking. \u201cI had an unusual name,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was a trial. Kids made fun of it. They made fun of me for having it. Lodkochnikov\u2014a preposterous name. My little school chums found it impossibly hard to pronounce.\u201d\nBECAUSE THEY COULDN\u2019T say \u201cLodkochnikov,\u201d they crushed it into \u201cKoochikov\u201d and called her that instead. It\u2019s hard to blame them: \u201cKoochikov\u201d is fun to say, and each time they said it all the other little girls got the giggles. Ariane didn\u2019t find it particularly funny, but then, she wasn\u2019t supposed to.\nThe first time she heard herself called Koochikov, in the first grade, she thought that the little girls who said it, an adorable bunch, cute kids in mary janes and pinafores, with their hair in pigtails, were calling her to join them, so she bounded over, smiling and eager, and that made them break out all over in hysterical giggling, which made Ariane feel very amusing and popular and welcome for about three seconds before she realized that it had been a joke. She pretended that she didn\u2019t mind, pretended even to herself, because she didn\u2019t want to spoil their fun.\nAfter that, she never quite heard them call her Koochikov. She heard it whispered as she walked by, and she soon discovered the trick of pretending that she hadn\u2019t heard it or had misheard it. It might have been a sneeze. It might have been Lodkochnikov. Very early on she understood and appreciated the convenience of pretending that it was a sneeze or Lodkochnikov\u2014pretending, when she turned and looked at the giggling girls, that she didn\u2019t get the joke, didn\u2019t even see that there was a joke, didn\u2019t have the faintest idea that she was a joke.\nWhen it was unavoidable, when one of those odd silences fell and into it clattered, unmistakably, \u201cKoochikov,\u201d she stepped right in, eager to please, and made her second mistake about the name: from ignoring it she went to endorsing it.\n\u201cOh, I don\u2019t care,\u201d she said. \u201cI can hardly even say \u2018Lodkochnikov\u2019 myself. Call me Koochikov. Or anything. Just don\u2019t call me late to dinner. That\u2019s what my father says.\u201d\n\u201cKoochikov\u201d was such a big success, and Ariane was such a good sport about it, that the little girls and boys gave her a new first name, too: \u201cTootsie.\u201d They had such fun with that, and she had such fun going along with it, that she hardly even noticed that she was collaborating with them in making herself into somebody they could really enjoy, that good sport, the easygoing Tootsie Koochikov.\nCONTENTS | CHAPTER 2 (COMING SOON)\nWhat a Piece of Work I Am is published in paperback by Picador USA, a division of St. Martin\u2019s Press, at $11.00.\nWhat Piece of Work I Am is a work of fiction.

        "raw_content": "Thanks to rapid technological advancements and significant shifts in consumer behaviour, the retail industry is in the midst of a major upheaval. In March, Rami Karam, Co-founder and CEO of Thirdshelf, Pascal Pettinicchio, Chief Business Development Officer of Smooch, and Peter Simons, President and CEO of La Maison Simons, took part in a panel discussion on the topic of growth as part of the Sommet du Commerce de d\u00e9tail. Here is a recap of some of their observations and advice, and the key takeaway: that local tech startups have plenty to offer retail businesses of all sizes.\nMich\u00e8le Boisvert, Executive Vice-President, Business Outreach at CDPQ, Rami Karam, Co-founder and CEO of Thirdshelf,\nPascal Pettinicchio, Chief Business Development Officer of Smooch, and Peter Simons, President and CEO of La Maison Simons.\nFounded in Qu\u00e9bec City in 1840, La Maison Simons has necessarily had to reinvent itself over the years, in terms of both brick-and-mortar stores and online presence. While innovation may be central to its business strategy, the digital transformation it undertook in 2007 was no cakewalk. Peter Simons recounted the great \u201cpains\u201d that came with making this shift: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t just about developing a costly website. We had to rethink the business and how it created value for customers.\u201d Crucial decisions and significant investments had to be made. When all was said and done, the digital transformation was beyond imperative: it turned out to be key to the company\u2019s survival and success.\nSimons says the secret lies in making change a constant. \u201cA web strategy is only a starting point; it\u2019s something that needs to evolve on a continuous basis. The minute you launch your new website, you should start planning the next revamp.\u201d\nInnovation should be ongoing and built into the company\u2019s DNA. Eleven years later, La Maison Simons continues to move forward. The store that opened in Qu\u00e9bec City\u2019s Galeries de la Capitale in March is entirely energy self\u2011sufficient. The company also has plans for a new state\u2011of\u2011the\u2011art distribution centre in Qu\u00e9bec City.\nStartups breaking new ground\nEstablished in 2014, Qu\u00e9bec startup Thirdshelf offers loyalty marketing solutions for retailers, integrating email- and SMS-based loyalty programs. Driven by predictive analytics, Thirdshelf analyzes retailers\u2019 transaction data to identify their best customers and other market segments. With its customer tracking capabilities and artificial intelligence (AI) features that automate many aspects of customer-relationship building, it is able to increase sales and build customer loyalty for small and medium-sized enterprises.\n\u201cWe developed our solution with a handful of clients and have fine-tuned it in the process,\u201d says co-founder and CEO Rami Karam. \u201cEven if you\u2019re a promising startup with super groundbreaking technology, you absolutely need to be adaptable and receptive to what clients are saying. Clients these days don\u2019t necessarily want to commit and make a substantial investment right off the bat. They want to test out the product to see its merits before entering into a longer-term commitment with the service provider. That is totally understandable.\u201d\nThirdshelf concentrates on analytics and customer loyalty, keeping its focus on a very specific problem. Its goal is to help retailers draw customers to their stores not just once, but twice, three times and beyond. Their specialization is vertical in that, rather than offering the solution directly to retailers, they offer it to retail platforms (POS, e-commerce and payment, a.k.a. omnichannel solutions, Lightspeed being one such example).\nSmooch is a Montr\u00e9al-based business created by Hamnett Hill and Mike Gozzo in 2015. The company offers a platform that creates omnichannel conversational experiences for customers, using web, SMS and social messaging apps. This software bridges the gap between business apps (Salesforce, Slack, etc.) and customers\u2019 preferred communication channels (Facebook Messenger, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc.) to enhance customer relationships.\nIn the words of chief business development officer Pascal Pettinicchio, \u201cWe\u2019re passionate about business-to-consumer messaging. We firmly believe in the assumption that consumers will increasingly want to interact with businesses using their favourite apps (SMS, Facebook, WeChat, Twitter, etc.). We are seeing the email and phone interactions of the past moving over to messaging systems. Businesses need to adapt and embrace these new communication channels.\u201d\nSoftware development company Zendesk, American multinational Uber and the Four Seasons hotel chain are just some of the big names that have turned to the budding Montr\u00e9al company to incorporate its solution into their products.\nKeeping pace with trends\nThe business world is changing dramatically, across every industry. Shaped by morphing demographics and increasingly powerful digital technology, new trends are changing how business is done.\nThe boom in e\u2011commerce, process automation and data analytics has made digital technology more and more vital for all businesses. How can you keep up in an environment that is always changing? Peter Simon shares his secret: \u201cWe read a lot and travel. We are curious and take an interest in all kinds of things. On trips, I try to learn new things. For example, if I am on a trip for buying purposes, I try to find out about new technologies and local businesses. I try to always be open and on top of the latest information. You have to constantly seek out the latest innovations to enrich your ecosystem, learn and create something new for customers.\u201d\nIt\u2019s now known that a business\u2019s digital strategy has to include mechanisms for continuous improvement and innovation. These are what makes it possible to verify that changes and technologies integrated are indeed relevant and meet customers\u2019 actual needs.\nPeter Simons\u2019s advice: \u201cChange is a constant. Not only will it always be there, but it is going to happen faster and faster. Embrace it and build something unique with your customer at the core. Dive in, and, above all, remember that you only live once. If you\u2019re the captain of a ship that is about to run aground, better you do it with intent rather than drifting.\u201d\nPascal Pettinicchio\u2019s advice: \u201cWe live in an exciting time, with the world quickly changing. Businesses that stand out will be those that manage to use the innovations on the market and strategically adapt them to their own brand to offer consumers a different experience.\u201d\nRami Karam\u2019s advice: \u201cPlay to your strengths. If you\u2019re small, you\u2019re agile. You have less baggage, which means you can test things. We live in a time when technology is readily available and relatively easy to try out. Test things and establish a process of innovation. You can try new technologies on an ongoing basis; it\u2019s easier than you might think.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The \u201cIrish Sky Garden\u201d is a giant earth and stone crater embedded into the landscape of the Liss Ard Estate gardens. The place gives the viewer a totally unique opportunity to admire and enjoy the \u201ccelestial vault\u201d.\nThe Sky Garden at Liss Ard Country House Estate is one of only two in the world designed by the American sculptor James Turrell. Designed and constructed under the his close observation, considered the greatest American Land Art Artist. He has turned the Crater into a massive naked-eye observatory. The artwork consists of an archway, a long megalithic-like passage, and stairs leading to an oval shaped, grass-lined crater, which measures 50 x 25 metres.\nIts design allows, either in daylight or at night, for the viewer to truly experience the sky at that particular moment in time without any distractions or impediments. Against the soft green background of the grass and the closely cropped top edge of the Crater no distractions remain to draw the viewer\u2019s eye, what is left is just the sky, the Irish Sky.\nThe Artist creates anticipation, wonder and joy for the viewer both in terms of the simplicity of the idea and the complexity of the construction. Each element has been carefully engineered to appear natural (but in fact not one element has been left to chance.) This attention to detail insures that each element is experienced in the way that the artist intended, almost like he was standing at your shoulder whispering in your ear what to do next.\nCommissioned by a previous owner of Liss Ard it is part of a complex of such installations it cost in excess of \u20ac500,000. Inspiration was drawn from a variety of sources and traditions including, Celtic, Egyptian and Mayan archaeological concepts and buildings but primarily the original Liss Ard close by the site on the actual estate. Irish traditions and pishe\u00f3gs (fairy curses) would never allow for the interference with that actual site for fear of disturbing the fairies or spirits that dwell there.\nThe entrance is through a henge type stone arch signifying the first transition or birth, from a gladed wood with a pond through a long womb like structural passage before a steep climb up some steps into the still and silent, oval, bowl shaped interior which measures 50 mtrs x 25. The acoustics are such that not a sound can be heard from outside and visitors are encouraged to explore in silence. In the centre there is a stone plinth (not unlike an Egyptian sarcophagus) where you can lie back to get a full view of the elliptical shape that frames the sky and ultimately your vision of the universe (and beyond).\nJames Turrell intended that the Crater be visited by very small groups of people and in fact two is the perfect number. The \u2018Vault Purchase\u2019 (stone plinth) is designed for two lying toe to toe, their necks resting on the \u2018Neck Roll\u2019 allowing them to view this amazing framing of the Irish Sky.\nIn the centre of the crater\u2019s \u201cbowl\u201d is a large stone \u201cvault purchase\u201d or plinth (not unlike an Egyptian sarcophagus). This is where the visitor should lie back and look at the sky, which is framed by the edges of the elliptical crater.\n\u201cThe most important thing is that inside turns into outside and the other way around, in the sense that relationships between the Irish landscape and the Irish sky changes\u201d (James Turrell).\nSource: publicart.ie, irelands-hidden-gems.com & lissardestate.com\nEuropeIrland",

        "raw_content": "Jeroen van Aken\nA prominent Huguenot who embodied the spirit of the Renaissance in several ways. As a potter, he experimented with the chemistry of glazes to find a variety of colors that would not run. As a modeler, he used a clay that enabled him to make fine casts from life, so that the creatures here are life-sized and convincing, the plants detailed even to the surfaces of leaves. It was customary in prosperous households to display extravagant vessels like this showpiece as works of art not necessarily used at table. This dish, in the spirit of the ceramic grotto Palissy installed in the royal gardens at the Tuileries, would have suggested a natural coolness in the summertime. Palissy was probably inspired by German bronzeworkers' castings of small reptiles and amphibians and by the fashion in earlier manuscript painting for filling the border with naturalistic plants and animals. The meaning of the little griffin at the upper right--the patron's emblem?--is a mystery waiting to be solved.\nThe stylistic hybrid produced through the cross-pollination of different strains of European art runs through the whole of painting in Spain; traditionally, this was taken as a sign of dependence on centers of innovation in Flanders or Italy. However, the mix of sources, influences, and aims in Spain--and the resulting paintings--was always different from place to place and always changing in ways that cannot be accounted for simply by developments in other parts of Europe.\nSpaniards who worked in Italy and returned to Spain; Italians and northerners, as well as Spaniards, who painted for Philip II or were collected by him .\nForeign painters who stayed on in Madrid, \"Naturalism in Castile and Valencia\" and those, like Federico Zuccaro in the late sixteenth century and Rubens in the seventeenth,\"The Presence of Rubens and Titian\"\nWidely regarded as having the greatest impact in bringing the Italian Renaissance to Spain, El Greco, as his name implies, was not Spanish at all, but was born Domenikos Theotokopoulos in Crete. He studied the great Italian masters of his time - Titian, Tintoretto, and Michaelangelo - when he lived in Italy from 1568 to 1577. According to legend, after asserting that he would paint a mural as good as one of Michaelangelo's if they demolished one of the Italian artist's, El Greco quickly fell out of favor in Italy, and soon found a new home in the city of Toledo in southern Spain. He was influential in creating a style based on impressions and emotion, with elongated fingers and vibrant color and brushwork. His paintings of the city of Toledo became models for a new European tradition in landscapes, influencing the work of the later Dutch masters.\nHis birth name was Jeroen van Aken c. 1450 \u2013 August 9, 1516 was an Early Netherlandish painter of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Many of his works depict sin and human moral failings. Bosch used images of demons, half-human animals and machines to evoke fear and confusion to portray the evil of man. The works contain complex, highly original, imaginative, and dense use of symbolic figures and iconography, some of which was obscure even in his own time.",

        "raw_content": "Get Into It: Johns Hopkins Wants to Talk To You About Domestic Violence Intervention\nOctober 6, 2014 by Jessica Johnson Leave a Comment\nSenior Research Assistant Jamie Barnes-Hoyt from the Johns Hopkins University is looking for college students between the ages of 18-24 who have a female friend they think could be in an unhealthy relationship. If you or someone you care about is in a potentially dangerous relationship, you may want to take a minute to learn about it!\nThe survey is part of a larger effort by JHU researchers Dr. Nancy Glass and Dr. Jackie Campbell to gather data on bystander intervention and the ability of survivors to safely seek help leaving an abusive relationship. Barnes-Hoyt says the barriers to intervention can be legion in the context of any relationship, but the nuances facing young adults are worrisome.\n\u201cFor college-aged women, it\u2019s sort of a completely different world,\u201d Barnes-Hoyt said. \u201cWhen we look at the college student population, this is kind of an isolated world.\u201d Barnes-Hoyt said the campus bubble amplifies the challenges that face would-be active bystanders and survivors of any age. \u201cMaybe they both live in the same dorm. Or the friend that\u2019s trying to intervene shares the same social groups,\u201d Barnes-Hoyt said.\nFactors like living in close quarters, still depending on a parent or guardian\u2019s health insurance, or a fear of increased violence can create new barriers \u2013 not only for the survivor \u2013 but also for the friend who would have stepped in. Many people want to help their friend, but they don\u2019t want to hurt their friend.\n\u201cThere\u2019s not a whole lot of information out there about bystander intervention for this group,\u201d Barnes-Hoyt said. However, the JHU researchers have been working to change that.\nOver the next six to eight weeks, the research group is looking for 100 students to participate in a web-based survey designed to evaluate what\u2019s working and what isn\u2019t in safely leaving a violent dating situation or intervening in one. This is one part of a much longer and broader research effort that will engage 700 students nationally around these same questions beginning next year.\nThe Johns Hopkins School of Nursing previously collaborated with the One Love Foundation to create a web and mobile application that allows bystanders and survivors to take a \u201cdanger assessment,\u201d giving users the ability to create a customized safety plan. The app gives survivors and friends of survivors the ability to seek out resources or evaluate the severity of the relationship without going to someone in person, whether because of an inability to, or because of privacy or stigma concerns. This initial survey process will help the team evaluate how the app is working, and what other tools bystanders and survivors need to feel they can safely neutralize a dangerous dating situation.\nThe One Love Foundation began in 2010 in direct response to the murder of University of Virginia student Yeardley Love, just weeks before her graduation. George Huguely V, also a student at UVA at the time, was sentenced to 23 years in prison for the murder of his ex-girlfriend. Now, the organization, in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University is exploring new ways to increase active bystanding, and reduce intimate partner violence.\nTo be a part of this confidential study, e-mail survey4friends@gmail.com or call 1-888-822-5799.

Please see the prayer/verses below.\n1 Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: 3 Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, 4 Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving, kindness and tender mercies, 5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle\u2019s\nPlease get to a hormone specialist and see if bioidentical hormones can help you heal. I'm also doing the paleo diet, but I only added this about 4 months ago. Feel free to find out more about my doctor and the paleo diet below. I'm not sure, but my doctor could be networked with doctors in other areas doing the same thing that also own their own practice. You could always call her office to see if they could give you any referrals.\nDoctor Taylor's Website\nDefinition of Paleo Diet\nLabels: feel better fibromyalgia, fibromyalgia, fibromyalgia relief, paleo, thanking God\nHow I'm Feeling 85% Better and Back to Work!!!\nHey all! I've been feeling so much better for quite some time now- over 6 months. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke. How did I get better? Well, in December 2011, I got pregnant with my bundle of joy that's now 6 months old, Samantha. She is amazing. The first few months were absolutely terrible. I had morning sickness coupled from withdrawal from getting off all of the meds I was on- which I now see weren't ever helping because I was having daily withdrawal while taking them. So, about 4.5 months into the pregnancy, I started feeling better. Much of my pain went away and I had less headaches. I ate pretty healthy throughout the pregnancy, but didn't go overboard. Just more fruits and veggies than I ate before. We also juice a few times a week (put fruits and veggies into a juicer). A few months post-pregnancy, I noticed the symptoms starting to come back. I now know that I always had a hormonal imbalance since being pregnant helped me feel much better. So what did I do? I went to a hormone doctor. Dr. Taylor in Kingwood, TX specializes in hormone replacement therapy and she takes insurance! I take progesterone daily now. I'm not going to say I'm running marathons, but I am feeling much better. I still eat healthier than I used to, but I'm not a health nut. So that's it everyone! Go get your hormones checked by a hormone doctor. Make sure they test your progesterone level. Most likely, you will have barely any. Oh- and I pay $75 a month for my progesterone and my Dr. visits cost $25. Please try this and get well! :-)\nLabels: fibromyalgia, get well, hormonal, hormonal imbalance, hormone, progesterone\nRain and Fibromyalgia\nHi everyone. I hope you all had a better week last week with your Fibromyalgia than I did. Mine was making me have so many aches and pains. Why? Well, the past week or two has been filled with a ton of rain in the Houston area. It's already humid here, which isn't great for anyone that has a hint of arthritis. When you add buckets and buckets of rain, it's a recipe for a pretty gloomy week.\nDon't you hate when you have to push yourself to get \"back in the saddle\" after a time with really bad weather? It's harder for me now than it was before I came down with the Fibro. Still, though, today I swam for about 30 minutes outside and I'm already feeling a little improvement. I need to get back on that treadmill or walk outside next to get back to normal. I know my dog is really wanting me to get back into my routine because he loves his walks for sure. They've been cut short lately with all of this rain.\nSo I'm still involved with Celebrate Recovery and I'm still reaping benefits from the program. It makes me realize things about myself that I need to change in order to be able to receive God's best. Reading the bible and program studies helps me to put things into perspective when I'm getting way too anxious about nothing. It also helps me to have a good attitude and keeps me from getting too depressed.\nOn a completely different note, I just got done watching a program on NBC about 2 year colleges that have popped up everywhere in the last few years known as \"for profit schools.\" I think it was on either Rock Center or the program before it. These schools aren't like the state school I went to where you pay a low tuition for a full four year bachelors degree. These schools usually only offer a 2 year degree and the jobs you get right out of these schools usually don't pay super well. How much do these schools cost and what are the names of a few of them? For example, the Art Institute costs about $60k or higher for just a 2 year degree. If you get student loans, though, you will most likely have to end up paying back over $100k with interest included. I know that over 4 years for a bachelor's degree my state education (which is just as good or better) today would still be about 10-12k per year currently. Over 4 years, that's about 50k. Many degrees require a little over 4 years these days, so maybe $55k. That's for a bachelor's though! Not an associates like many of these schools offer. I know I'm going on a rant here, but I have never felt like the cost of these \"for profit schools\" are worth it. Former students were discussing how they feel like they'll never pay off their student loans. Why? Well, they're not able to do enough with the degree they got. They would need to go back to working more than one job at once in order to put a dent in their loans. Isn't that why you go to school in the first place, though? To not have to work 2 jobs later like you are now to get by? I guess the view I'm trying to rant on about is that you should really comparison shop when looking at colleges for your kids or yourself. See how good their career services centers are at placing people in good jobs, check and compare tuition costs, and any other things you are concerned about. Just don't leave those first 2 out like too many people I know have. I just really hate that the federal government is giving out federal funding for tuition that isn't worth the money! Plus, many former students end up defaulting and us taxpayers pick up the bill! A much higher percentage of the students going to these types of schools (rather than traditional colleges) end up defaulting, by the way when compared to those that go the traditional route. How do you guys feel about that? Just wanting some dialogue on this...\nLabels: colleges. federal funding, fibromyalgia, nbc, pains, rain, rock center, tuition\nHope in Christ Brings Many Gifts\nHi friends! Remember how I was writing that I've been going to a church group that has been helping me with my issues with anxiety? Well, I'm still going strong and I feel God's making improvements in my life as I write this. He is helping my overall attitude to change and I am clinging to pessimism less and optimism more.\nI'm right in the middle of a lesson on HOPE in my Celebrate Recovery bible. I read something in the lesson that I have to quote:\n\"Many people today believe their doubts and doubt their beliefs. Has anyone ever seen an idea? Seen love? Seen faith? The reality is, though, that we can see the results of an idea. We can see the acts of faith and love, but the real things- the lasting things- in the world are invisible, spiritual, realities.\"\nHow true is that? Have you ever believed your doubts more than your Christian beliefs? I know I have. This lesson really calls me out on it and makes me realize how foolish it is to do so.\nBible Verse to chew on: Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior, and my hope is in you all day long. - Psalm 25:5\nIt is a challenge to have faith in Him ALL day long, but that's his challenge for us and I'm willing to take it. Who's with me?\nLabels: bible, bible verse, Celebrate Recovery, hope\nAnxiety and Depression Help: Celebrate Recovery\nHi all! I hope you have had a good week and haven't had any flare-ups.\nI talk a lot on this blog about my issues with anxiety and depression. These issues seem to be common among those who suffer with Fibromyalgia. It seems as though we're always looking for ways to keep these bad habits in check- or at least I am.\nHow am I curbing my worrying and low moods lately? I've joined a group at church called Celebrate Recovery. This program is nation-wide now and lots of churches have adopted it or some other form of it. The program helps those with addictions such as alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and other substance abuse issues and that's mainly what it's known for. What people don't know is that it's also for people with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, anger problems, and many more bad habits. It works somewhat like AA, but there's praise and worship as well as a curriculum that is Christ-based. I've gone 3 times so far and the feeling of peace it's giving me isn't measurable. I feel so blessed. The church gifted me a Celebrate Recovery bible and it's the easiest bible to read that I've ever come across.\nIf you struggle with the same issues that I do, I suggest you find a Celebrate Recovery group in your area. Child care is usually provided for free. Don't give up if you're not crazy about the first one you try. I went a couple of years back to one at another church and it didn't help me nearly as much as this one has so far.\nI'm excited about this journey to peace that Christ is taking me on. Join me and comment on your experience!\nLabels: anxiety, Celebrate Recovery, depression, fibromyalgia\nHi all! I'm obviously behind in my writing!\nI wanted to write this to let you know how I was doing. I'm 6 months pregnant with a baby girl. It's so exciting because she will be our first child. There are a lot of anxieties I've been feeling about being a new mom. Will I be good at it? Will I be able to keep up with her?\nMy husband and I have already bought the crib and my parents have sent a lot of items such as clothing, bedding, toys and more. We are so blessed! We haven't set up the nursery yet, but everything we need is there. It's a good feeling!\nSo how have I been feeling since being prego along with having Fibromyalgia? The first 3-4 months were absolutely horrible! We didn't plan the pregnancy, so I had to get off all of my Fibro medicine at 5 weeks. I did it cold turkey because no practitioner could tell me a recommended taper-off dosage. It made me so angry. Why are they prescribing medicine if they can't tell you how to properly get off of them? The withdrawal coupled with morning sickness was really bad. I lost 15+ pounds within the first trimester. I must say I needed to lose it though. One of the side effects (as many of you know) to chronic pain meds is weight gain. Anyway, I've been off all of my meds since I was 4-5 weeks along. I have pain and discomfort, but I must say that the medicine probably did me more harm than good. I'll have to see how things are going once my hormones stabilize after delivery, but I'm planning on staying off of the meds I was taking since they were mainly to help with symptoms, not cure anything.\nYou know what's been helping me tremendously? Swimming. I absolutely love it. When I swim, it's the best part of my day. I believe that Fibromyalgia has a lot to do with pressure within the body somehow. Swimming seems to relieve me of feeling any pressures in my body and helps me be more flexible. I'm also able to exercise without getting too hot. If I get too hot I feel really sick. Does that happen to anyone out there? Temperature problems and such? What are your thoughts on swimming and the disease and/or pregnancy?\nLabels: anxieties, fibromyalgia, pregnancy, swimming, temperature problems, weight gain\nWhy Do I Keep Stressing?\nOK, here goes. I feel like the biggest hypocrite in the world because I explain all of these ways to de-stress and I hardly do them myself. When I first discover them, I do them faithfully. Just as many of us are with diet and exercise programs, though, I fade out. It's such a horrible habit, though. Stressing robs us all of so much and we gain absolutely nothing from it. It keeps us from getting things done, eating right, losing weight, keeping awake enough hours in each day, and doing well at our jobs. For the Fibromyalgia patient, it keeps us from feeling good. So there it is! I've confessed to all of you. I have to turn this boat around now. From now on, quiet time with God, exercise, and meditation are musts! Let's keep each other accountable guys!\nOur fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.\nIsn't that the truth?!\nI am making a commitment to live a more disciplined life and be better to myself. Worrying all of the time is a sin that many of us with Fibromyalgia commit. It will be hard to stop this habit and start new ones, but I believe our rewards will definitely outweigh the pain of our lifestyle change.\nLabels: fibromyalgia, stress, stressing",

        "raw_content": "On 5 December 2017, Honorable Faiyaz Koya, Minister for Industry & Trade and Tourism (MITT) represented Fiji at the 3rd Republic of Korea\u2013Pacific Island Countries Foreign Ministers\u2019 Meeting (ROK PICs FMM), which was held at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul.\nHeaded by the Honorable Faiyaz Koya, the Fijian delegation comprised officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MITT and the Embassy of the Republic of Fiji in Seoul.\nRepresentatives from twelve Pacific Island Countries (PICs), namely the Cook Islands, the Republic of Kiribati, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Nauru, Niue, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu attended the ROK-PICs. The Korean Government also invited the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFs).\nPrior to the meeting, the Ministers paid a courtesy call on His Excellency Moon Jae-in, President of the Republic of Korea at Cheong Wa Dae as referred to in the Korean language or Presidential Blue House. During the meeting, the respective heads of delegations of the PICs collectively reaffirmed their support for combating climate change and underscored the importance of closer cooperation between Korea and the Pacific Island region to address this issue. President Moon reciprocated similar sentiments and acknowledged that climate change posed a grave threat to the security and economic resilience of Pacific Island countries and agreed on increasing the extent of the Korean Government\u2019s support to effectively address the issue.\nFollowing this, the 3rd ROK-PICs commenced proper with an opening address by Honorable Kang Kyung-hwa, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, who recalled the outcomes of the previous ROK-PICs FMM as well as the ROK-PICs Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) held last year.\nThe ROK-PICs FMM focused on various aspects of multilateral cooperation underscoring the need for sustainable development in the Pacific region while addressing four thematic areas of cooperation including development cooperation, climate change, maritime affairs and fisheries, security and other matters of mutual interest. The foreign ministers\u2019 also addressed maritime and fisheries cooperation and further committed to deepening national coordination within their respective countries and overall regional coordination in the Pacific.\nDuring the meeting, Minister Kang announced the increase of the Korean Government\u2019s annual grant to the ROK-PIF Cooperation Fund (RPCF) to USD$1.5 million by 2020.\nThe discussion also provided an opportunity for PICs representatives to renew the commitment of their respective governments\u2019 in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG\u2019s) as part of the roadmap of the development of the Pacific. It was also discussed that a \u201cGreen and Blue Pacific\u201d must be consensus-oriented.\nIn the end, a joint communiqu\u00e9 was released following the meeting citing the outcomes of the discussions of the 3rd ROK-PICs meeting and reaffirming support for the 4th Korea-Pacific Islands Foreign Ministers\u2019 Meeting which is scheduled to be held in 2020.\n[Tender Advertisement] \u2013 Lead Consultancy Services for Wairabetia Economic Zone Project \u2013 Construction Implementation Unit",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home Jojo A. Robles Abu strikes again\nAbu strikes again\nTo General \u201cStormin\u201d Norman Schwarzkopf is (falsely) attributed the pithy quote, to the effect that terrorists will be judged by God while his job is to merely hurry up the meeting. The hoax-busting site Snopes notes that the quote has been around since 2001, but \u201cin an odd instance of the tail wagging the dog, in 2003 the General is on record as repeating a close version of the words years earlier attributed to him.\u201d\nI am reminded of the quote - which is now being attributed by the Internet to tough-guy Russian leader Vladimir Putin - because those homegrown Islamist bandits amongst us known as the Abu Sayyaf Group have decided to make their presence felt once again. And what a way and a time to do so, by beheading a Malaysian hostage while the government of President Noynoy Aquino is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Manila.\nMalaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is in town, was quite naturally incensed at the ISIS-like action of the Abu Sayyaf in killing Bernard Then in Sulu, following the failure to raise the ransom for the victim\u2019s release. \u201cWe call upon authorities to take action against those who have perpetrated this savage and barbaric act and ensure that they are brought to justice,\u201d said Najib.\nThe international media pounced on the story of Then\u2019s beheading and gave it as much \u201cplay\u201d as they possibly could, thus giving the terrorists the free publicity they sought. There is, after all, no reason why the Abu Sayyaf would kill Then at this time other than to embarrass the Philippine authorities, who were hoping for a hitch-free summit.\n\u201cOur problem is that we in government play by the rules,\u201d said Apec organizing head Ambassador Marciano Paynor, a former military man, echoing official anger at the beheading. \u201cOur enemies, on the other hand, do whatever they like.\u201d\nThe government must spare no expense or effort to make these bandits pay for their latest headline-grabbing atrocity. While I may have criticized the Aquino administration for the way it has been hosting the summit, I hope that the military stamps out this bandit group once and for all, as soon as our visitors have left.\nSomeone should hasten the Abu Sayyaf\u2019s meeting with God. That should be the military\u2019s first job after the summit is done.\nPatriotism, said Samuel Johnson, is the last refuge of scoundrels. The application of this insight, in the current time and in this country, is to falsely accuse people who criticize the way the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit is being hosted by the Philippine government of being less Filipino than those who would want us to simply join Aquino in singing the praises of his administration.\nIt is by now common knowledge that Aquino has been misusing all of his speaking engagements during the summit to attack his predecessors, the Philippine courts and every one else who hasn\u2019t agreed with him over the years. Because Aquino is just being his usual vindictive, blame-tossing self, he finds nothing wrong in using the Apec podium to paint a picture of himself before the visiting foreigners as the best thing that has happened to the Philippines - and all the other governments that went before as severely lacking in every respect compared to his.\nWhat Aquino has been doing, when you think about it, is not to raise the Philippines but to sing hosannahs to himself. How else can he explain his tirades against Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and the members of the judiciary in Apec forums?\nIs it right for Aquino air the country\u2019s dirty linen before Apec every time he speaks, when all the homeless people who have the slightest chance of being seen by summit delegates are hidden away in virtual concentration camps? You tell me.\nOn the other hand, why do Aquino\u2019s minions describe those who point out the failings of the government in holding the meeting as unpatriotic? Did the many, many thousands who walked several kilometers last Monday because the government could not even suspend classes and work that day love their country less than those who want them to just grin and bear the hardship and inconvenience - or should the government be held accountable for this, the latest example of its incompetence?\nBy and large, most Filipinos have just kept quiet about the summit hosting, in keeping with their natural courtesy and hospitality. But that doesn\u2019t mean that they aren\u2019t angry with the way our hosting duties have been performed, such as that brilliant scheme of taking away two lanes of Edsa to make life easier for a delegation whose head did not even arrive.\nI believe that our right to point out government\u2019s stupidity and excesses has not been suspended just because a summit is going on. In like manner, Aquino shouldn\u2019t really be talking about all the good things he\u2019s supposedly done and all the bad things those before him have committed, just because there\u2019s a worldwide gathering here.\nRaise the flag and fly it proudly during Apec week, by all means. But don\u2019t do it because you just want to cover up all the incompetence and cupidity that\u2019s been going on for the past five years under this do-nothing government.",

        "raw_content": "Slight Flip, No Flop for A&F Nominations.\nOoooh. This FILMSWEEP reaction is gonna be a fun one.\nOn November 19, 2009, on my favorite film forum I wrote:\nI flip flop about this stuff all the time. Been doing it for years.\nThe comment was in reference either to certain films that I couldn't stomach, films which I have loathed for one reason or another over the years -- which have now, for whatever reason, grown on me -- or for certain films which at one point I truly loved, which I've now decided, eeeh, that wudn't so great after all. (Duh!)\nHere's where it gets sorta fun:\nOn the same thread, a thread with the title, \"Worst Films of the Decade,\" about a month and exactly twelve posts later I went completely bonkers in regard to my hatred for The Squid and the Whale and anyone who finds value in the film. (My years of friendship with the peeps and crits there have made me a little more casual than I am here on the blog. Come to think of it, just reading the following has already made this particular FILMSWEEP entry a bit more casual. But... Whatevs.)\nIn that post, I wrote:\nThe Squid and the Whale is my pick for worst film of the decade according to the standards set here. I hate it with all my being. I hate it like I hate rapini. I hate it like I hate a fraud, which is really what this thing is. And I hate that many of you love it. You people are all screwed up for loving this stench-infested garbage. It is a horrible, horrid, awful film that on the one hand pretends it has something meaningful to say about kids of divorced parents being screwed up, and on the other hand has such farcical ideas as both the dad sleeping with he-and-his-son's roommate, and an almost-pubescent kid who wipes his semen all over public places and drinks beer and hard liquor and not a parent seems to care. Pick one or the other, not all three. I hate the characters, too. There are many reasons to hate this film, but the greatest reason to hate it is that so many of you seem to champion it as an apologetic against divorce -- and a comedic one at that. There's nothing funny in The Squid and the Whale. I loathe every character and every action. I loathe the writing and its cutsie pie \"I can get away with this sick sh*t and pretend that is has a point.\" But there is no point. Oh gee, I guess that final \"artsy\" shot of the squid and the whale was supposed to make me think. Like I can't think for myself. What a load of crap. And again, gee, let's all talk about it in some pseudo-intellectual coffee house and pretend we're all in the in-crowd, an act that makes us happier when we sleep at night\nUGH! :-(*)\nI have to admit that in going back and reading what I wrote, I really did make myself laugh. I am a lucky man to be able to rant at the forum sometimes, and still find a friend or two there.\nIn the past few years, I have changed. I have been through divorce, found a path to recovery from alcoholism, dropped a faith, picked up a hope, lost many friends, gained a few new friends and lost some of those too, gained some of the new lost friends back again and hoped for my kids to not have to go through any of the crazy life experiences I've had to deal with.\nI have learned that no matter how dark things seem at the moment, you've just gotta hold on for a little bit, and if nothing good comes your way -- go out and make something good for someone else. (It helps a lot more than you might think.)\nAnd I just watched The Squid and the Whale again.\nI can honestly flip just a wee bit on this miserable film, because now that I look at it again, I really think it wants me to hate it. I think that's the reason for its very existence. I can't see it any other way. This is a self-involved film about self-involved characters who are constantly irritating each other and (as in the very first scene, a match of a family game of tennis) competing to be the smarter, competing to be the better. The parents here are arrogant (dad in particular an arrogant has-been), and they raise their children to model their ugly displays of unworthy conceit.\nNote: I am no longer saying this is not a well-made film. I concede on that end. As a film, it is well-made. I just can't understand its need for creation in the first place. (And yes, I'm looking directly at you, Baumbach, because a few years back I said the same exact thing about another one of your films -- Greenberg.)\nI am open to tracking down or being shown interviews of writer/director Baumbach to find out why he creates any of these films or people, these monster movies of the inhuman condition. I love a good horror movie, but -- \"Oh, the humanity.\" Even in a horror film you've got to care about the person first in order to care that (s)he's in danger of being slashed or gutted or whatever! The characters in The Squid and the Whale lack redeeming value, like a family member at Christmas that you just wish wouldn't show up anymore. You can't see anything good in them -- in fact, there might not be anything good there at all.\nSeriously, Baumbach? Is that how you see people? Hate to meet you some day at a cocktail party.\nIn some ways, The Squid and the Whale reminds me of two well-made films from this year that I rather despise as well: Margaret (poor Anna Paquin, who finds herself in both Margaret and The Squid and the Whale -- I swear I have nothing against her personally), and Take This Waltz, which I wrote in detail about Here. These are all films which drag us through the most torturous parts of life, crawling in the muck of our own meanness, showcasing the ease with which we can lash out rather than change -- with the simplicity of a good cry or a moment of profound clarity at the end trying to justify the bile we've just recognized in ourselves.\nLook. I like a nice depressing movie sometimes. Check out my profile, there are plenty of them there. But for a depressing film to strike any kind of a chord in me, it needs to offer more than just depression and a good cry as its goal (or a quiet moment of clarity as in The Squid and the Whale). Such a film is no better than the many times in my evangelical upbringing where I got up from a good cry at the altar, only to realize later that the whole thing had been manipulated by music and a \"righteous\" man on a power trip.\nWhere is the artistry here? What point does any of this have? Is Baumbach pointing to something in his own life, and if so, how has he not already jumped off a bridge?\nI do not connect well with films that only scream about how dreary life is, how good we are at fucking it up. They leave us empty, we walk out of the experience quite soulless. We've been offered no hope, no brighter future to hang our hat on, no ending to the terminal sadness, no resolution to the inner chaos we can't control.\nI will admit today that this film is well made. And if the goal is to hate it, it accomplishes its goal quite well. But I do not understand the desire to paint this picture, and I say that as one who has been through the ringer myself.\nAre there people out there who really want to hold onto the darkness forever?\nI once went to a party, and I drank too much booze, and I threw up a pile of well-made vomit.\nWell made? Sure, why not.\nI guess that's a flip for this flop.",

        "raw_content": "During the seasons of the church year, there are special worship services in addition to regular Sunday services.\nThe first Sunday of November is All Saints' Sunday. At our 10:00 a.m. worship service, we remember the lives of those who have died in the past year, lighting a candle as each name is called, accompanied by the ringing of a bell.\nAdvent is the four week season leading up to Christmas. It is a time of hopeful expectation and preparation for the birth of Jesus. During this time, the 10:00 a.m. service may have special music or choral sermons, and a creative theme may be presented. The church is decorated with a Christmas tree, garlands and flowers.\nOn Christmas Eve, there is a Family Worship early in the evening, a Service of Lessons and Carols at 9:00 p.m., and a Candlelight Communion Service at 11:00 p.m.\nThere is also a special Christmas Lessons and Carols service at Ashlar Village a day or two before Christmas Eve for the residents and all who would like to attend.\nAt a separate time, we also offer a \u201cBlue\u201d or \u201cQuiet\u201d Christmas Service for those experiencing loss or sadness during the holidays.\nLent is the 40 day season of reflection, penitence and preparation for Easter. As with Advent, the 10:00 a.m. service will often have special music and worship elements during this time.\nWe begin Lent with a Shrove Tuesday family pancake supper, followed by a worship service.\nOn Ash Wednesday, there is a meditative evening service of reconciliation and forgiveness, with the anointing of oil.\nHoly Week begins on Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter, when we celebrate Jesus\u2019 triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The Palm Sunday Service is a special occasion at First Church, when the children joyfully process with their palms, the entire congregation sings a traditional Palm Sunday anthem, and we close the service with the powerful transition to Holy Week with the entry of the bare cross, fashioned from our Christmas Tree, as a soloist sings \u201cThe Via Delarosa.\u201d\nOn the following Thursday, we hold a Maundy Thursday service at 7:00 p.m. This is a service of Communion, followed by the story of Jesus\u2019s last week and betrayal, with the extinguishing of light and the entrance into darkness.\nOn Good Friday, the youth of our church lead a noontime worship service, telling the story of Jesus\u2019s trial and execution. This thoughtful service is full of music, silence and creativity.\nWe offer a Saturday afternoon Easter Vigil at Ashlar Village, which anyone is welcome to attend.\nEaster Sunday is a celebration of Jesus\u2019 resurrection, with the sanctuary full of flowers, the darkness of the week before transformed into light and joy, with special music and the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus.\nOn Boy Scout Sunday, our Troop 5 participates in the worship service and the sanctuary is decorated with colorful flags.\nOn Mother\u2019s Day, our Confirmation Class leads the 10:00 a.m. worship service.\nChildren\u2019s Sunday is held at the end of the Church School year, where the children participate and lead parts of the service.\nPentecost Sunday and Confirmation Sunday are celebrated together on the first Sunday in June. Pentecost is considered the birthday of the church, when Jesus's disciples were called to go forth into the world. Our confirmands officially join the church as adult members, and we rejoice with them as they commit themselves to discipleship.\nPalm Sunday is a special moment at First Church, when we begin the walking the journey with Jesus to the cross of Good Friday and the joy of Easter. Our worship begins with a parade of palms and closes with the empty cross. [ more ]\nOn the Thursday evening following Palm Sunday, we hold a Maundy Thursday service at 7:00 p.m. This is a service of Communion, followed by the story of Jesus's last week and betrayal, with the extinguishing of light and the entrance into darkness.

        "raw_content": "Gold and Commodities \u2013 Key Economic Drivers\nQuestion: Can we ever move back to a gold standard? See the answer at the end of the blog.\nLet\u2019s look at the future and see how market conditions impact investment strategies.The factors that are driving the stock market and other investments include: The Federal Reserve and the U.S. Dollar; commodities like oil, gold, metals and crops; and current interest rates. In this blog, we will focus on the gold and commodities.\nOil and Gold Commodities\nPeople act as if that the market conditions will never change, however, they do change. As of June 16, 2015 end of day, Brentwood Oil prices were at $62.63 a barrel. Although it has been above $110 a barrel for about four years in the last 150 years, some experts expect it to happen again, and so do we. All it will take is heightened\u201cuncertainty\u201d in the Middle East. Source: http://oil-price.net/dashboard.php?lang=en#brent_crude_price_large\nSo let\u2019s talk about the supply-side of oil. Geologist M. King Hubbert famously (and so far) correctly predicted in 1956 that U.S. domestic oil production in the lower 48 states would peak around 1970 and begin to decline. In 1969, Hubbert predicted that world oil production would peak around 2000.\nIn fact, daily U.S. oil production did \u201cpeak\u201d at an average of 9.6 million barrels in 1971 and then began to decline to about five million barrels in 2008.\nSince then U.S. oil production had not increased and in January 2015, U.S. production averaged about 9.2 million barrels per day. See Exhibit 3.\nHubbert argued that oil production grows until half the recoverable resources in a field have been extracted, after which production falls off at virtually the same rate at which it expanded. This theory suggests a bell-shaped curve rising from first discovery to peak and descending to depletion.\nIf Hubbert were right, the increase in production in the last several years should not have happened. The problem with Hubbert\u2019s analysis and his \u201cdevotees\u201d is that they overlooked how market prices could change the definitions of \u201crecoverable resources\u201d and \u201cnew reserves\u201d of encouraging new technologies. In the current case, fracking has made once unrecoverable resources recoverable. As a consequence, U.S. petroleum production has dramatically ramped up from its low point of five million barrels per day in 2008.\nIn the meantime, global energy prices have fallen, and many other countries are studying the U.S. example and plan to tap their own shale resources. But analysts, environmental groups, and governments are concerned about the economic costs of fracking and the risks to the environment.\nWhat is fracking, and where is it happening?\nHydraulic fracturing, or fracking, refers to two processes used to extract natural gas trapped in shale formations. The first step is to drill down to the sedimentary rocks, sometimes as far as ten thousand feet, then drill sideways for a mile or more. This horizontal drilling has been widely practiced since the 1980s to extract conventional oil and gas. The second is to inject water, sand and chemicals at high pressure forcing the gas to flow back out the head of the well.\nFuture production also relates to the future price of oil. The more it costs, the more it opens up expensive oil extraction methods and far-off locations. For example, it is much more expensive to extract a barrel of oil via new deep-sea oil drilling (U.S. deep-sea producers have a break even cost of $60\u2013$80 per barrel) or to extract a barrel out of shale oil (U.S. shale oil producers have a break even price of $60-$70 per barrel), than the traditional means available in 1956. Fracking has reinvigorated oil fields, but only at higher production costs.\nAlso, production costs for other nations like Russia and Venezuela exceed $100, which puts them losing money until it moves up more. Lastly, pundits believe oil has no more future as energy replacements become more viable.\nGold is one the most manipulated investments over time. In times when the Fed is successful in their currency or \u201cfiat money\u201d policies, gold declines. At some point, the Fed slips up, and the price of gold increases. If the Federal Reserve policy were to stumble and the U.S. economy were to go into a recession, a period of high inflation, or a period of deflation, the price of gold could rise. Other reasons for gold to move up in price:\nA number of countries have quietly been acquiring gold like Russia, China, Italy and France.\nForeign central banks resumed repatriating gold, with the Netherlands and Germany repatriating a total of 207 tons in 2014.\nThe official numbers from the U.S. Federal Reserve report that only 177 tons were repatriated by other countries last year. It is uncertain what is causing the discrepancy, but it could indicate market tightness.\nGoldman Sachs predicts that gold production will decline going forward with the world\u2019s gold reserves falling to zero in approximately twenty years.\nThe reduction of new gold production could tighten the gold supply-demand balance and push gold prices up.\nPutin suggested Russia will go toward the gold standard in a March 2015 announcement.\nFear in other parts of the world about the strength of the dollar.\nMost countries have been hoarding gold reserves and have been increasing their gold holdings, as mentioned in James Rickards newest book, The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System. Let\u2019s take a look at the ten nations with the largest gold reserves, based on the latest international financial statistics and the WGC.\nUnited States \u2013 Despite ending the gold standard in 1971, the world\u2019s largest economy holds 8,133.5 tons of gold, representing 71% of its reserves. December 31, 2014, 2015, US Gold holdings are 8,044 metric tons. At the May 4, 2015 rate of $1,188.50 an ounce it is worth about $337 billion. Source: Investopedia.com\nGermany \u2013 Germany holds 3,387.1 tons of gold, which represents 67.1% of reserves. At the beginning of 2013, Germany\u2019s Bundesbank confirmed reports and announced that it will repatriate a portion of its foreign gold reserves. Over the next seven years, the central bank intends to store half of Germany\u2019s gold reserves in its own vaults with the other half in New York and London. Source: Investopedia.com\nItaly \u2013 During the depths of the Eurozone crisis, some analysts recommended that Italy use its gold stockpile to raise funds and restore confidence. However, the nation still holds 2,451.8 tons of gold, representing 65.9% of its reserves. Source: Investopedia.com\nFrance \u2013 France holds 2,435.4 tons of gold, which represents about 64.3% of its reserves. The nation has been relatively quiet in the gold market. Source: Investopedia.com\nChina \u2013 The world\u2019s second-largest economy holds 1,054.1 tons of gold, which represents only 1.1% of its reserves. This underestimates China\u2019s true holdings. In 2009, China announced that it boosted its gold reserves by 454 tons via acquiring gold quietly over the previous five years. It represented a 76% increase in gold reserves, but gold still represents 2 to 3 percent of its reserves. Today, China is estimated to have around 2,000-3,000 tons of gold reserves. Source: Investopedia.com\nSwitzerland \u2013 The land of international banking holds 1,040.1 tons of gold, which represents 7.8% of its reserves. Some citizens feel very strongly about gold. Last year, the Swiss People\u2019s Party collected enough signatures to force a referendum on a proposal to prevent the nation\u2019s central bank from selling any of its gold reserves and require it to hold at least 20% of its assets in the precious metal. Source: Investopedia.com\nRussia \u2013 Russia holds 1,034.7 tons of gold, which represents 8.3% of its reserves. Russia has more than doubled its gold reserves in recent years and is likely to keep buying. In 2011, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin claimed the United States was \u201clike a parasite\u201d on the global economy and said the dominance of the dollar as a world reserve currency is a threat to the financial system. In 2013, Russia\u2019s central bank added 77 tons of gold to its official reserves. Source: Investopedia.com\nJapan \u2013 After two decades of low-interest rates, it\u2019s not too surprising that Japan has one of the largest gold reserves in the world. The nation holds 765.2 tons of gold, representing only 2.4% of its reserves. Source: Investopedia.com\nNetherlands \u2013 With a large economy in relation to its population, the Netherlands holds 612.5 tons of gold, which represents 52.6% of its reserves. It is estimated that the majority of the nation\u2019s stockpile is held abroad. Source: Investopedia.com\nIndia \u2013 India officially holds 557.7 tons of gold, which represents 7.6% of its reserves. In 2009, the nation purchased 200 tons of gold from the International Monetary Fund for $6.7 billion. India is home to the tenth-largest economy in the world but consumes more silver than any other country. Source: Investopedia.com\nAnswer to the Question: Can we ever move back to a gold standard?\nAlthough some have speculated that we would be better off on a gold standard, the world economies would have to shrink to make that possible; and players like Japan, China and Russia just do not have enough gold to move in that direction.\nOver the years gold has been one of the most manipulated form of currency. FDR took it from citizens and built Fort Knox to house the hoard. Nixon used gold to leverage our position with world partners. And even though countries like China, Russia and India have increased their holdings, their gold represents only a VERY small portion of their reserves. Of the 21 thousand metric tons of gold held by the top 10 nations, the US holds about 38% of it, more than approximately the next top three countries, combined, so any move to a gold economy would help the United States, but we just don\u2019t think it likely.\nIf you want a review of your situation, we will do it for free.

        "raw_content": "oil prices rose to a 4 week high on Monday, before the 4th of July holiday, but fell from there to end the week roughly 3.9% lower than where they closed last week...the $1.03 price increase to $47.01 a barrel on Monday was largely attributed to the spate of short-covering that propelled the prior week's rally, but on the holiday prices for August US crude fell sharply in electronic and overseas trading after Russia was reported to oppose any proposal to deepen OPEC-led production cuts, with WTI down $1.94, or 4.1%, to $45.13 a barrel, even though trades made that day did not settle til Wednesday the 5th....prices then jumped to as high as $46.53 a barrel on Thursday after the EIA report indicated major inventory draws across the board, but then collapsed near the close to end the day with a gain of just 39 cents at $45.52 a barrel...Friday brought further price deterioration on reports of higher OPEC exports and a double digit increase in the rig count, with August crude down another $1.29 to $44.23 a barrel, the lowest close since June 26th...\nMr Trump was in Europe this week for the annual meeting of the G-20, the heads of government for the world's 20 largest economies...part of Trump/'s agenda on that trip was to promote exports of US natural gas in Europe, with the apparent intention of undermining Russian dominance of natural gas markets on the continent....the groundwork for this natural gas scheme was laid in late June, when the US Senate voted 98 to 2 to impose further sanctions on Russia, with the intention of waylaying the construction of the Nord-Stream 2, a subsea natural gas pipeline planned from Russia to Germany, which international energy firms are involved in...to an extent, the Europeans went along with that scheme, extending their own energy sanctions against Russia to January 31st, 2018.....nonetheless, i found this entire stratagem bizarre and self-defeating; as you may recall, i've previously pointed out that our natural gas supplies are a lot tighter than they appear to be, and there's no way that additional supplies can be developed at the prices that are being promised for these exports...what i'm going to do today is show you the natural gas data that i'm looking at, so you can see how i've come to that conclusion...\nthe first screenshot below is from the EIA table of US dry natural gas production monthly, which i've lopped off at 8 years because the long history of US natural gas output is not an issue here...we can see that US natural gas production rose each year between 2010 and 2015 as fracking brought on new supplies...but look at the 2016 data starting in March; US natural gas production is lower each month of 2016 after that than the equivalent month of 2015...likewise, for the first four months of 2017 for which there is confirmed production data, our natural gas production was again lower...that means our natural gas production had been falling for 14 months in a row going into April, and since recent natural gas drilling and fracking remains far below that of the boom years, we have every reason to believe that decrease in output has continued to the present...yet even the Reuters article on the Trump promotion of our natural gas exports refers to \"fast-growing supplies of U.S. natural gas\", a myth that every one in the media seems to believe without question...here's the data; you can see our production is clearly falling:\nnext, we'll include excerpts of a few tables on US natural gas exports...first, like the above, is a truncated excerpt of the EIA table of US natural gas exports...no surprise here, they've been rising, and now at a much more rapid pace since Cheniere's Sabine Pass natural gas natural gas liquefaction facilities started exporting LNG in May of last year..\njust to put those exports into perspective, we'll include the top of the table of US natural gas exports by country; while you can see which countries our exports are going by looking at the entire table, we dont particularly care where they're going to, as we're including this table because it shows exports by pipeline (which obviously can only go to Canada and Mexico) and LNG exports by vessel, which are going all over the world...\nnext, we have a truncated excerpt of the EIA table of US natural gas imports...looking closely at the numbers, you'll see that our natural gas imports generally fell between 2010 and 2014 when our production was rising, but that our imports of natural gas started increasing again as our production fell and our exports rose...comparing this table to the export table above, you'll see that during the winter months, when much of the US is using natural gas for heat, our imports of natural gas exceed our exports of it...for instance, in December 2016, we exported over 250 billion cubic feet of natural gas, and imported over 280 billion cubic feet of it...on the other hand, in April, when the US consumption of gas for heating and cooling is moderate, our natural gas exports did exceed our imports by around 9 billion cubic feet...the EIA projects that we will still be a net importer of natural gas in 2017, and not become a net exporter of natural gas until 2018...\nnext, to put our imports in perspective we have the top of the EIA's table of US natural gas imports by country...what you see here is that almost all of our imported natural gas is now coming from Canada...since we are still importing more natural gas than we're exporting, that means that we are, in effect, importing natural gas from Canada to export it through Texas and Louisiana...without Canadian gas coming in to replace what we export, a shortage of natural gas would develop in the US...it should also be clear from what we've shown so far that for us to export any more natural gas to Europe, much less replace what they get from Russia, we'd have to first import more of it from Canada..\nnext, let's look at a graph of natural gas supplies that we have stored underground:\nthe above graph comes from the twitter feed of John Kemp, senior energy analyst and columnist with Reuters, wherein the red line shows our natural gas supplies in billions of cubic feet from January 2015 to June 30th of this year...the yellow line, for the year prior to the one shown by the red line, thus shows our natural gas supplies in billions of cubic feet from January 2014 to the end of 2016, thus retracing some of what the red line shows...the light blue band then shows the prior 5 year range of our natural gas supplies, and thus from the left shows the range of our natural gas supplies from January 2010 through January 2014, extending to the right where it ends with the range of our natural gas supplies from the end of 2012 through the end of 2016...lastly, the blue dashes show the average of that 5 year range of our natural gas stocks that's indicated by the light blue shading...note the obvious seasonal pattern; surplus natural gas is injected into storage each spring and summer, then withdrawn for use during the heating season...\njust from looking at that graph, it appears that our natural gas supplies remain near normal, slightly above the average of the 5 year range...but next, we're going to pull out an old graph from the heating season that will call that simple visual analysis into question....this is a graph we posted on March 26th, showing heating demand for this past winter in red and heating demand for the winter before that in yellow, and the long term average heating demand as a light dashed line...a detailed explanation of what heating degree days are and what this chart shows is included with the original post, but suffice it to say that what this chart shows is that demand for natural gas for heating was 17% below normal in each of the last two winters...with that in mind, look back at the above graph of our natural gas supplies...by following the red line, we can see that our natural gas supplies were at least at a 5 year high for the time of year from October 2015 through November 2016, with October 2016 being the first time in our history that natural gas supplies topped 4 trillion cubic feet...that's normal, we'd expect a record glut of natural gas with demand for heating 17% below normal...but notice that since December of 2016 our natural gas supplies were falling at a faster rate than normal, despite another warmer than normal winter, and by the end of January had returned to merely average...our supplies then recovered to above average because of a record warm period that led to the first weekly injection of gas into storage in February history, but as of this date they're still nearly 300 billion cubic feet below where they were at the same time in June a year ago....what that means is that at the current pace of natural gas production, we were unable to maintain our surplus from production at a the same pace as last year, even while demand remained below normal....what that suggests is that should domestic demand for natural gas jump to above average levels, either due to increased electrical generation or due to a colder than normal winter, our production plus Canada's imports will be inadequate to meet our export contracts and our own needs at the same time...\nthis week's US oil data from the US Energy Information Administration, covering details for the week ending June 30th, showed an increase in US oil exports, a decrease in our oil imports, and a significant increase in operations at US refineries, which thus resulted in the second largest withdrawal from our commercial stocks of crude this year...our imports of crude oil fell by an average of 274,000 barrels per day to an average of 7,742,000 barrels per day during the week, while at the same time our exports of crude oil rose by 240,000 barrels per day to an average of 768,000 barrels per day, which meant that our effective imports netted out to 6,974,000 barrels per day during the week, 514,000 barrels per day more than during the prior week...at the same time, our field production of crude oil rose by 88,000 barrels per day to an average of 9,338,000 barrels per day, which means that our daily supply of oil from net imports and from wells totaled an average of 16,312,000 barrels per day during the cited week...\nduring the same week, refineries reportedly used 17,141,000 barrels of crude per day, 251,000 barrels per day more than they used during the prior week, and at the same time a net of 957,000 barrels of oil per day were being pulled out of oil storage facilities in the US....thus, this week's crude oil figures from the EIA seem to indicate that our total supply of oil from net imports, from oilfield production, and from storage was 128,000 more barrels per day than what refineries reported they used during the week...to account for that discrepancy, the EIA needed to insert a (-128,000) barrel per day figure onto line 13 of the weekly U.S. Petroleum Balance Sheet to make the data for the supply of oil and the consumption of it balance out, which they label in their footnotes as \"unaccounted for crude oil\"...\ndetails from the weekly Petroleum Status Report (pdf) show that the 4 week average of our oil imports actually rose to an average of 7,915,000 barrels per day, which was nonetheless 1.0% below the imports of the same four-week period last year...the 957,000 barrel per day decrease in our total crude inventories came about on a 900,000 barrel per day withdrawal from our commercial stocks of crude oil and a 57,000 barrel per day sale of oil from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve, part of an ongoing sale of 5 million barrels annually that was part of a Federal budget deal 20 months ago....this week's 88,000 barrel per day increase in our crude oil production resulted from a 105,000 barrel per day increase in oil output from wells in the lower 48 states as Gulf production came back online, which was partially offset by a 17,000 barrels per day decrease in oil output from Alaska, which was reportedly due to maintenance ...the 9,338,000 barrels of crude per day that we produced during the week ending June 30th was 6.5% more than the 8,770,000 barrels per day we were producing at the end of 2016, and up by 10.8% from our 8,428,000 barrel per day of oil output during the during the same week a year ago, while it was still 2.8% below the June 5th 2015 record US oil production of 9,610,000 barrels per day...\nUS oil refineries were operating at 93.6% of their capacity in using those 17,141,000 barrels of crude per day, which was up from 92.5% of capacity the prior week, and well above normal for this time of year...the amount of oil refined this week was also well above the seasonal norm, as it was 2.7% more than the 16,687,000 barrels of crude per day.that were being processed during week ending July 1st, 2016, when refineries were operating at 92.5% of capacity, and roughly 10% above the 10 year average of 15.6 million barrels of crude per day for the last week of June....\nwith the pickup in refining, gasoline production from our refineries increased by 31,000 barrels per day to 10,365,000 barrels per day during the week ending June 30th, the highest weekly gasoline output this year...that gasoline output was also 3.5% higher than the 10,018,000 barrels of gasoline that were being produced daily during the comparable week a year ago....at the same time, our refineries' production of distillate fuels (diesel fuel and heat oil) fell by 144,000 barrels per day to 5,100,000 barrels per day, still a seasonal high for the last week of June and 4.3% more than the 5,100,000 barrels per day of distillates that were being produced during the week ending July 1st last year.....\neven with the increase in gasoline production, our end of the week gasoline inventories decreased by 3,669,000 barrels to 237,303,000 barrels by June 30th, now almost reversing the gasoline supply increases of early June...this week's gasoline supplies were reduced because our domestic consumption of gasoline increased by 167,000 barrels per day to 9,705,000 barrels per day, and because of this week's 278,000 barrel per day adjustment to correct for the imbalance created by the blending of fuel ethanol and gasoline blending components... meanwhile, our gasoline exports rose by 51,000 barrels per day to 713,000 barrels per day, while our imports of gasoline rose by 168,000 barrels per day to 739,000 barrels per day at the same time....with the week\u2019s decrease in our gasoline supplies, our gasoline inventories are now 0.7% below last year's seasonal high of 238,876,000 barrels for this week of the year, but are still 8.9% higher than the 217,952,000 barrels of gasoline we had stored on July 3rd of 2015, and 10.7% more than the 214,321,000 barrels of gasoline we had stored on July 4th of 2014\u2026\nwith the decrease in our distillates production, our supplies of distillate fuels fell by 1,850,000 barrels to 150,422,000 barrels during the week ending June 30th, the second decrease after increasing by 5,762,000 barrels over the prior three weeks....the major factor in this week's drop in distillates supplies was the amount of distillates supplied to US markets, which rose by 293,000 barrels per day to 4,322,000 barrels per day...meanwhile our exports of distillates fell by 236,000 barrels per day to 1,150,000 barrels per day, while our imports of distillates fell by 21,000 barrels per day to 108,000 barrels per day....despite the drop in supplies, our distillate inventories are still 1.0% higher than the 148,939,000 barrels that we had stored on July 1st, 2016, and 9.4% higher than the distillate inventories of 137,461,000 barrels that we had stored on July 3rd of 2015...\nfinally, with the drop in imports and pickup of US refining, our commercial supplies of crude oil decreased for the 11th time in the past 13 weeks, as our oil inventories fell by 6,299,000 barrels to 502,914,000 barrels as of June 30th.. however, we still finished the week with 5.0% more crude oil in storage than the 479,012,000 barrels we had stored at the beginning of this year, and 1.9% more crude oil in storage than the 493,718,000 barrels of oil in storage on July 1st of 2016....our supplies of oil also remain well ahead of those of the same week in prior years; with 16.0% more crude than the 433,714,000 barrels in of oil that were in storage on July 3rd of 2015, and 42.9% more crude than the 350,822,000 barrels of oil we had in storage on July 4th of 2014...\nincreasing drilling activity returned to the US during the week ending July 7th, with both oil and gas rigs higher, after the prior week had seen the first drilling slowdown in 24 weeks....Baker Hughes reported that the total count of active rotary rigs running in the US increased by 12 rigs to 952 rigs in the week ending Friday, which was 512 more rigs than the 440 rigs that were deployed as of the July 8th report in 2016, and the most drilling rigs we've had running since April 17th, 2015, even though it was still less than half of the recent high of 1929 drilling rigs that were in use on November 21st of 2014....\nthe number of rigs drilling for oil increased by 7 rigs to 763 rigs this week, which was up by 412 oil rigs over the past year, and the most oil rigs that were in use since April 3rd 2015, while it was still far from the recent high of 1609 rigs that were drilling for oil on October 10, 2014...at the same time, the count of drilling rigs targeting natural gas formations increased by 5 rigs to 189 rigs this week, which was 101 more rigs than the 88 natural gas rigs that were drilling a year ago, but way down from the recent natural gas rig high of 1,606 rigs that were deployed on August 29th, 2008...\nthere was no change in the total offshore or Gulf of Mexico rig counts this week, where drilling continues from 21 platforms, up from the 18 rigs working in the Gulf and total 19 offshore a year ago....active horizontal drilling rigs increased by 12 to 804 rigs this week, up by 461 from the 343 horizontal rigs that were in use in the US on July 8th of last year and the most horizontal rigs in use since March 27th of 2015, while they are still down from the record of 1372 horizontal rigs that were deployed on November 21st of 2014....in addition, the directional rig count was up by 3 rigs to 74 directional rigs this week, which was also up from the 36 directional rigs that were deployed during the same week last year...meanwhile, the vertical rig count was down by 3 rigs to 74 rigs this week, which was still up from the 61 vertical rigs that were deployed during the same week last year....\nthe details on this week's changes in drilling activity by state and by shale basin are included in our screenshot below of that part of the rig count summary pdf from Baker Hughes that shows those changes...the first table below shows weekly and year over year rig count changes for the major producing states, and the second table shows weekly and year over year rig count changes for the major US geological oil and gas basins...in both tables, the first column shows the active rig count as of July 7th, the second column shows the change in the number of working rigs between last week's count (June 30th) and this week's (July 7th) count, the third column shows last week's June 30th active rig count, the 4th column shows the change between the number of rigs running on Friday and the equivalent Friday a year ago, and the 5th column shows the number of rigs that were drilling at the end of that reporting week a year ago, which in this week\u2019s case was the 8th of July, 2016...\nnote that this week saw the first decrease in drilling in the Permian basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico in 16 weeks; you'll recall that up until just a few months ago, almost half of the new drilling was taking place in that region...hence, Texas was limited to a increase of 2 rigs, which could be accounted for by the increase in the Granite Wash of the panhandle border...of the major shale basins, Oklahoma's Cana Woodford saw the largest increase, with 4 oil rigs added this week, while the Haynesville of northwestern Louisiana saw both an oil and a gas rig added....note horizontal rig increases shown in the table above only add up to 7, so there's 5 fracking rigs unaccounted for; some of those may be in Alaska, where recent news articles describe new drilling and fracking in the HRZ shale on the North Slope...of the states not shown above, rigs were added in both Nebraska and Montana last week; Nebraska has had intermittent drilling over the past year, and also had a rig active the same week a year ago, but that Montana drilling appears to be the first in the state since the oil bust at the end of 2014...\nLawsuit Over Fracking Plan for Ohio's Only National Forest Expanded - Center for Biological Diversity (press release) \u2014 Conservation groups today expanded a lawsuit challenging a U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management plan to permit fracking in Ohio\u2019s only national forest. The groups are challenging a new 1,147-acre March 2017 lease sale in Wayne National Forest and adding claims that the federal fracking plans violate the Endangered Species Act, threatening animals in the forest and downstream.\u201cFederal officials should not be putting corporate profits ahead of endangered species, safe drinking water and public health,\u201d said Taylor McKinnon with the Center for Biological Diversity. \u201cThe government is violating its own laws to pave the way for this dangerous fracking plan, and we can\u2019t let that happen.\u201d In May four conservation groups sued the federal agencies in U.S. District Court in Columbus for their failure to analyze impacts to public health, water, endangered species and the climate before opening 40,000 acres of the Wayne National Forest to fracking in 2016, and prior to leasing 670 acres of those lands to the oil industry in December. The expanded lawsuit shows that fracking will threaten endangered mussels downstream from lease parcels, as well as endangered Indiana bats and threatened northern long-eared bats. The bats are already imperiled by forest fragmentation, white-nose syndrome and climate change. Habitat destruction, deadly wastewater pits and water contamination from fracking activities compound these threats. \"The Wayne National Forest is home to many species who can't afford to have their habitat damaged by oil and gas development,\" Fracking will industrialize Ohio\u2019s only national forest with roads, well pads and gas lines, the lawsuit asserts. In addition to destroying Indiana bat habitat, this infrastructure will pollute watersheds and water supplies that support millions of people, and endanger other federally protected species in the area.\nTreasury Dept Asked To Investigate Reports That Russia Funneled Millions To US Environmental Groups - House lawmakers have added another twist to the ongoing congressional Russia investigation by asking the Treasury Department to look into allegations Russia secretly funneled money to environmental groups opposed to oil and gas drilling.Top Republicans want the Trump administration to investigate a Bermuda-based shell company that funneled money to a prominent environmental non-profit that\u2019s given millions to anti-fracking activists. Media reports suggest the Bermuda shell company is tied to Russian oligarchs.Republicans on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin asking him to investigate \u201cwhat appears to be a concerted effort by foreign entities to funnel millions of dollars through various non-profit entities to influence the U.S. energy market.\u201d\u201cIf you connect the dots, it is clear that Russia is funding U.S. environmental groups in an effort to suppress our domestic oil and gas industry, specifically hydraulic fracking,\u201d Republican Texas Rep. Lamar Smith said in a statement. Letter signatories Smith and Texas Rep. Randy Weber point to media reports of the U.S.-based environmental group, the Sea Change Foundation, taking $23 million from a Bermuda-based shell company with ties to Russian oligarchs in 2010 and 2011. That same year, Sea Change gave millions to U.S.-based environmentalists, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Sierra Club and the League of Conservation Voters. All of those groups oppose hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.\nSulfide-producing bacteria dominate hydraulically fractured oil and gas wells - Phys.Org --Researchers have found that the microbes inhabiting a hydraulically fractured shale formation produce toxic, corrosive sulfide through a poorly understood pathway. The team's findings, published this week in mSphere, an open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology, reveal that the oil and gas industry may need new ways to monitor and mitigate sulfide-producing bacteria in fractured shales. \"This is a pretty inhospitable environment of high pressure, salinity and temperature some 2,000 meters underground. You'd think that microbes introduced during the fracturing process would die, but some of them make a good life for themselves,\" says Mike Wilkins, an environmental microbiologist at The Ohio State University in Columbus and senior researcher on the study. \"The industry spends a fair amount of money trying to keep microbes out of these systems.\"Hydraulic fracturing, also known as \"fracking,\" involves the high-pressure injection of water, sand, and chemicals into shale formations to create fracture networks that release oil and gas, which are pumped back to the surface and recovered. Practiced for only the last decade, not much is known about the microbial ecosystems in the fracture networks.Sulfide-producing microbes cause multiple problems for drilling operations. Hydrogen sulfide can \"sour\" a well and must be separated from oil and gas in an expensive process. Sulfides can be toxic to the workers on the drilling pad and can also corrosively degrade metal pipelines. The microbes themselves can gum up the extraction process by filling in the tiny fractures with either biomass or excreted precipitates.\nThe Economist explains: How fracking leads to babies - A new study by Melissa Kearney and Riley Wilson, two economists at the University of Maryland, looks at the impact of the recent fracking boom in America, which boosted job opportunities for less-educated men. The economists wanted to see how this affected birth rates, both in and outside of marriage. They compared marriage and birth rates in areas where fracking had boosted the local economy with those where it had not had any effect. The researchers found no effect on marriage rates, though fertility rates did rise. On average, they find that $1,000 of extra fracking production per person was associated with an extra six births per 1,000 women. The result confirms the hypothesis that better economic prospects lead to higher fertility. But it also sheds light on changing social mores in America: good times used to mean more wedding bells and babies, whereas now they just mean the latter. The policy prescriptions are not obvious. Whether or not people get married is their own business. But the finding does offer some comfort to those who worry that declining marriage rates are purely the product of worsening economic prospects for men. Clearly, some other factor is at play.\nEnbridge, lacking financing options, suspends New England gas pipeline project -- Lacking viable financing options, Enbridge has pulled its proposed Access Northeast natural gas pipeline in New England from Federal Energy Regulatory Commission review, saying it could be revived if the region develops policies that would support pipeline development to serve power plants. The $3.2 billion project called for bolstering the Algonquin Gas Transmission system in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts and included an expanded liquefied natural gas facility near Boston. Eversource Energy and National Grid backed the project, which was designed to deliver 925,000 Dt to power plants totaling about 5,000 MW. New England governors, ISO New England and others have been pressing for more gas pipeline capacity to supply the region, which is increasingly reliant on gas-fired power plants. There have been price spikes in the winter, when generators compete for gas with homes and businesses that use gas for heating. The proposal depended on New England states allowing electric distribution companies to contract for pipeline capacity and then releasing the capacity to gas-fired power plants who hesitate entering into firm contracts for pipeline capacity. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and state utility regulators rejected the framework, saying that it violated state rules deregulating the electric utility sector. \u2018\nState receives first fracking application - Four years after former Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation that cleared the way for fracking in Illinois, the state has received its first application for a drilling permit. Woolsey Companies Inc. is looking to drill a well near Enfield in southeastern White County. The company is based in Wichita, Kansas. Illinois Department of Natural Resources spokesman Tim Schweizer says the original paperwork was received on May 22, but the company is expected to submit an amended application to correct a few problems. That will extend the window for officials to consider the proposal. \u201cIt appears now we\u2019ll have until August 31 to (decide),\u201d Schweizer said. \u201cThe Illinois Oil and Gas staff here at the Illinois Department of Natural Resources will be reviewing the permit application and will ultimately make the decision on whether it is approved or denied.\u201d In the meantime, the public is invited to weigh in with comments about the possible fracking site. \u201cComments can be submitted in writing and mailed to the Department of Natural Resources here in Springfield,\u201d Schweizer said. \u201cThere\u2019s also an opportunity to comment online or you can send in email comments.\u201d\nTrump\u2019s administration pursues radical expansion of offshore drilling - Despite spill risks, bipartisan opposition, Trump\u2019s Department of Interior is moving forward with offshore drilling plans. New offshore oil drilling in Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific waters may be the next phase in President Donald Trump\u2019s new \u201cenergy dominance\u201d strategy, based on an official federal notice published Monday. Following pledges last week by Trump and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to seek \u201cenergy dominance\u201d through large increases in fossil fuel extraction, the Trump administration issued a formal notice that it has begun a process it hopes will dramatically expand offshore oil and gas drilling throughout United States waters. By publishing the \u201crequest for information\u201d from coastal and ocean stakeholders in the Federal Register, the Interior Department initiated what it says will be a two-to-three year long process to develop a new five-year plan for offshore drilling. The Interior Department is legally required to publish five-year plans that specify where and when sales of offshore drilling leases \u2014 and therefore future drilling activity \u2014 will occur. The expansive new planning effort largely duplicates work by the previous administration, which finalized a five-year plan for 2017 to 2022. That plan, which is currently active, took three years to develop and incorporated more than one million public comments submitted to the Interior Department. Under the plan, 10 lease sales in the Gulf of Mexico and one in the Cook Inlet in southwest Alaska were scheduled over the five-year period. David Hayes, a former Deputy Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of the Interior Department, noted the potential internal impact of the decision, within the context of the Trump administration\u2019s proposed federal budget cuts. \u201cAt the same time that the [Interior] Department is proposing to cut 2,000 National Park Service jobs, it is committing money, time, and personnel to overturn an offshore plan that is not due to expire until 2022,\u201d he said. The launch of the fossil fuel \u201cdominance\u201d oriented re-do of the five-year plan indicates the Trump administration officials are set to ignore existing analysis and large blocs of opposition, and instead attempt to follow through on earlier suggestions that their goal is new lease sales and new drilling throughout these highly controversial ocean areas.\nInterior opens public review of offshore drilling plan | TheHill: The Interior Department on Monday began accepting public comments on a new five-year offshore drilling plan, an early step toward rewriting the blueprint for drilling in federal waters. Interior published a \u201crequest for information\u201d in Monday\u2019s Federal Register, seeking comment from the public and stakeholders on the potential for drilling in the 26 areas of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) leased for oil and natural gas production by the federal government. The 45-day comment period is the first step in the lengthy, years-long process of rewriting the program. The procedure involves assessing the economic and environmental impact of drilling, and the effects it would have on ocean features, wildlife and local communities.President Trump announced last Thursday that the public review process would begin this week as part of his agenda of opening up more American offshore areas for oil and gas development. \u201cUnder the previous administration, so much of our land was closed to development. We\u2019re opening it up. The right areas, we\u2019re opening it up,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAmerica will be allowed to access the vast energy wealth located right off our shores.\u201d Trump in April ordered Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke to reconsider the five-year offshore drilling plan instituted by President Obama last year. Interior said it will implement that plan, which limits lease sales to the Gulf of Mexico and waters off of south-central Alaska, while reviewing and eventually rewriting it. Interior has also proposed allowing seismic testing for oil and gas in the Atlantic Ocean, the first step toward potential drilling in the area.\nTrump called 'threat to every coastline' as he pushes ocean drilling plan -- Environmentalists have condemned Donald Trump as a \u201cthreat to every ocean and coastline in the country\u201d, after the president pushed forward plans to expand oil and gas drilling in the Arctic and Atlantic oceans as part of what he called a new era of \u201cAmerican energy dominance\u201d. The Trump administration has taken the first steps to rewrite a five-year plan, put in place under Barack Obama, that banned drilling along the Atlantic seaboard and in large swaths of the Arctic. The interior department is opening a 45-day public comment period for a new plan that it says will help grow the economy. Green groups have promised in response to mobilize the coastal communities that successfully implored the Obama administration not to open up new areas to drilling, due to fears over the effect of potential oil spills and noise pollution upon livelihoods and wildlife. \u201cTrump\u2019s appalling actions threaten every ocean and coastline in the country,\u201d said Kristen Monsell, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. \u201cWe\u2019ll be fighting tooth and nail to make sure his disgraceful administration doesn\u2019t endanger polar bears, whales, local economies and our climate with more dirty drilling.\u201d US crude oil and natural gas production have soared in recent years and several analysts have voiced doubts that many companies will be interested in offshore extraction, given the low cost of a barrel of petroleum and the falling cost of drilling on land. However, in a speech on Thursday, Trump again promised to \u201cunleash\u201d American fossil fuels. The event was part of what has been touted by the administration as \u201cenergy week\u201d, although the week was instead dominated by the healthcare debate and the president\u2019s tweets about a TV host\u2019s face. \u201cAmerica will be allowed to access the vast energy wealth located right off our shores,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAnd this is all just the beginning \u2013 believe me. The golden era of American energy is now under way. And I\u2019ll go a step further. The golden era of America is now under way. Believe me.\u201d .\nExisting and planned natural gas pipelines out of the Permian.- The pace of production growth in the Permian\u2019s Midland and Delaware basins will be influenced by many factors, including the degree to which the market price for crude oil exceeds the play\u2019s breakeven prices and the ability of midstream companies to add incremental pipeline takeaway capacity as that capacity is needed. While the pursuit of crude oil is driving drilling and production activity in the Permian, rapid growth in crude output is accompanied by large volumes of associated gas and NGLs that also must be dealt with. Fortunately, the Permian has been a major production area for decades \u2014 a lot of gas and NGL pipeline infrastructure is already in place. But it won\u2019t be enough. Today we begin a blog series on the existing networks\u2019 ability to move natural gas to market and the enhancements that will be needed to keep the Permian\u2019s growth on track. It\u2019s official: as of today, more Americans are talking about the Permian than the Kardashians and former FBI director James Comey \u00ad\u00ad\u2014 combined! OK, maybe not, but sometimes it seems that way, doesn\u2019t it? The U.S.\u2019s hottest shale play, covering more than 70,000 square miles in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico, is widely viewed as an unstoppable force, a runaway train that by the early 2020s will account for one-third of total U.S. crude oil production as well as more than almost 12 billion cubic feet/day (Bcf/d) of natural gas for domestic consumption and export (to Mexico via pipelines and everywhere else as liquefied natural gas, or LNG).\nNew crude, condensate offtake deals signed for Permian producers by Trafigura, Enterprise -- Two midstream deals -- providing new pipeline takeaway capacities from the Gulf Coast -- were unveiled Wednesday, further reflecting a growing global appetite and competitiveness of light sweet crude and condensates from the Permian Basin in Texas.Commodity trader Trafigura said it signed a long-term deal with Plains All American Pipeline for the offtake of 100,000 b/d of crude oil and condensate from Midland in the Permian Basin to an export outlet at Corpus Christi on the Gulf Coast.Also, Enterprise Products said it had signed up additional shippers on its crude oil pipeline in the Permian Basin that is designed to provide 450,000 b/d of takeaway capacity to an export outlet in the Gulf Coast starting late 2017. The Trafigura deal, which comes into immediate effect, will enable the company to buy crude oil from producers in the rapidly-growing basin and also receive condensate for use in its splitter and export terminal at Corpus Christi, Trafigura said in a statement.\nShale\u2019s super rigs getting bigger paychecks in the oil patch - U.S. oil companies are spending more money on so-called super-spec rigs, machines that churn out wells much faster than older models that led the first shale boom. Xtreme Drilling Corp., a Canadian rig supplier, said this week it has locked in more than $24 million in revenue over the next year with three contracts for upgraded super-spec rigs, pushing the rig day rates toward $22,000 a day. And Nabors Industries, a rig contractor in Houston, recently said it has contracted some super-spec drilling rigs at prices of up to $23,500 a day, almost 20 percent higher than spot rates in places like the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas.\"Operators are clearly growing concerned with the availability of super-spec equipment,\" said James West, an analyst at investment bank Evercore ISI. That's why some U.S. producers have been willing to boost rig contract prices by 10 percent to 20 percent, West said.These super-spec rigs \u2013 built with a bigger load capacity and faster drilling systems \u2013 can drill an oil well in less than 10 days, shaving more than a week from the average drilling time in 2010, and allowing companies to drill a greater number of wells each year. Matt Porter, president and CEO of Xtreme, said these higher rates show operators will pay a premium for more efficient drilling even though oil prices have slumped in recent weeks. West said it's possible if oil prices stay cheap next year, the U.S. rig count could drop by 20 percent from a 2017 exit rate of about 1,000. But the bigger rigs, he said, could still \"enjoy robust utilization\" in 2018.\nCourt rejects Trump administration move to delay methane regulation | Reuters: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cannot freeze implementing a rule requiring oil and gas companies to fix methane leaks in their equipment, a federal appeals court ruled on Monday in a setback for President Donald Trump's push to cut environmental regulations. The EPA on June 5 announced a stay in the rule, which would have required drillers and transporters to start reporting and fixing any methane leaks they found in wells and transfer stations, after EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt wrote in an April 18 letter the agency intended to reconsider imposing it. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the agency did not have the authority to halt the rule during those deliberations. The EPA's stay \"is essentially an order delaying the rule's effective date, and this court has held that such orders are tantamount to amending or revoking a rule,\" Judges David Tatel and Robert Wilkins wrote. The third member of the three-judge panel, Judge Janice Rogers Brown, dissented. \"We are reviewing the opinion and examining our options,\" an EPA spokeswoman said in a statement to Reuters.The court's ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed June 5 by green groups that opposed the EPA's stay of the rule. The groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Defense Fund, Sierra Club and other environmental organizations, argued the EPA did not follow procedures detailed in the 1970 law known as the Clean Air Act when it froze the rule.\nEPA must enforce methane emissions rules immediately after court decision - The Trump administration suffered a legal blow on Monday when the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled (PDF) that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must enforce methane emissions rules that were finalized by the Obama administration in mid-2016.The rules established performance standards for new drilling operations, and they required many oil and gas companies to conduct an initial survey of methane leaks by June 3, 2017. Changing finalized rules is often a lengthy and painstaking process, and Trump\u2019s EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt announced his intention to start the reconsideration process for the rules in April. Pruitt, who sued the EPA as attorney general of Oklahoma over these rules, also announced a stay on the EPA\u2019s enforcement of certain parts of the rules that could have lasted up to two years. Specifically, Pruitt said the EPA would not, for the time being, enforce four items specified in the rules, including regulation of low-production wells and the requirement that a professional engineer certify well vent system designs. Environmental groups\u2014including the Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, Environmental Integrity Project, Earthworks, the Clean Air Council, and the Sierra Club\u2014challenged the EPA\u2019s stay in court, however. The EPA argued that the stay was reasonable because the previous administration hadn\u2019t given all stakeholders due opportunity to comment on certain parts of the rules\u2019 final wording. But two judges on the three-judge appeals court panel agreed with the environmental groups on Monday. \u201cThe administrative record thus makes clear that industry groups had ample opportunity to comment on all four issues on which EPA granted reconsideration, and indeed, that in several instances the agency incorporated those comments directly into the final rule,\u201d the judges wrote. The judges noted that the EPA can start the reconsideration process for the methane emissions rules at any time, but the agency still has to enforce those rules until they\u2019re overturned. \u201cAs we have explained, \u2018an agency issuing a legislative rule is itself bound by the rule until that rule is amended or revoked\u2019 and \u2018may not alter [such a rule] without notice and comment.\u2019\u201d In a comment to Ars Technica, an EPA spokesperson noted, \u201cWe are reviewing the opinion and examining our options.\u201d\nSecretary Zinke met with industry officials shortly before delaying methane rule -- Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke held meetings with officials from fossil fuel companies and powerful industry trade groups less than a month before the Department of the Interior postponed compliance dates for a rule designed to limit methane waste from drilling sites on public lands. On May 22, for instance, Zinke met with officials from the American Petroleum Institute, an oil and gas trade group that opposed the Obama administration\u2019s implementation of the methane waste rule, according to a redacted copy of his schedule obtained by Politico. Two days after that, Zinke participated in a video call with Newfield Exploration Co., the largest oil producer in Utah. A large portion of Newfield\u2019s drilling operations in Utah are conducted on federally managed lands. The secretary also called into the May 25 board meeting of the U.S. Oil & Gas Association, an industry group whose members hold oil and gas leases on federal lands. Earlier in May, Zinke held video conference calls with two conservation-oriented organizations: the Land Trust Alliance, a national land conservation group based in Washington; and the Partnership of Rangeland Trust, a Colorado-based association of agriculture land conservation organizations. A few weeks after Zinke\u2019s meetings with oil and gas industry officials, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), a division of the Interior Department, entered a notice into the Federal Register stating it would delay compliance with the methane rule, finalized last November by the Obama administration.\nNative Americans Sue Frackers Over Manmade Earthquakes - National Geographic - Oklahoma has become one of the world\u2019s most notorious earthquake hubs. In fact, in 2014 for the first time, the number of magnitude 3 or greater quakes in the state surpassed California\u2019s total. Though Oklahoma typically experienced zero to a couple magnitude 3 or greater quakes annually, the rate shot up to 20 in 2009. In 2013, the state had 109 such earthquakes followed by 579 in 2014, 903 in 2015, and 623 in 2016. In other words, the state went from some two sizable quakes a year to two or three a day. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has been a lightning rod for the blame, but it\u2019s not so much the fracking itself as the cleanup afterwards that\u2019s inducing these temblors. To dispose of this dangerous waste, companies pump it down a different opening deeper under the shale to rest permanently in a well of porous rock. The thing is, when these wastewater injection wells are continuously filled, pressure builds up on geologic faults\u2014enough to cause earthquakes when the two sides of a fault slip past each other, the U.S. Geological Survey acknowledges. In 2009, companies in Oklahoma pumped 849 million barrels of wastewater into wells. By 2014, that number hit 1.5 billion. That\u2019s been a problem for Oklahoma\u2019s Pawnee Nation and their advocate Erin Brockovich, the famed environmental activist lawyer, given that the tribe has endured some of the most devastating earthquakes in the state. On September 3, 2016, a magnitude 5.8 quake hit right near the town of Pawnee\u2014Oklahoma had never experienced one more powerful\u2014and was felt from Texas to South Dakota. Then on November 6, 2016, a 5.0 earthquake hit nearby Cushing. Exacerbating the danger, Cushing is the storage site of 60 million barrels of oil, the largest supply of crude in the world\u2014a sticking point of concern for the Department of Homeland Security.\nTrump administration looks to speed drilling permits | TheHill: The Trump administration wants to speed permits to drill for oil and natural gas on federal land and hold more auctions for drilling rights leases. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke signed a secretarial order Thursday to advance those two priorities, formally ordering the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to reduce permitting times and hold more frequent lease sales. Zinke said it\u2019s part of the Trump administration\u2019s \u201cenergy dominance\u201d agenda, in which federal officials want to increase domestic production of fossil fuels and other energy sources and increase exports worldwide. The Thursday actions also fit with the administration\u2019s rollbacks of numerous environmental standards, with a focus on rules affecting fossil fuel industries. \u201cThere\u2019s a reason why our energy revolution from 2008 forward has been primarily on private lands and state lands, and not federal lands. We have been particularly, I think, punitive in some ways,\u201d Zinke told reporters Thursday. His order asks the BLM to try to make permitting decisions for oil and gas drilling on federal land in 30 days. That\u2019s the time frame required by law, but the actual time frame averaged 257 days last year, Zinke said, citing the agency\u2019s data.\nAnother Big Gift to Oil & Gas: Zinke Fast Tracks Drilling on Public Lands -- In another gift to big polluters, Interior Sec. Ryan Zinke signed an order Thursday directing the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to hold quarterly oil and gas lease sales and to issue new oil and gas drilling permits within only 30 days from application. The move is part of the Trump administration's efforts to allow dirty oil and gas polluters to dominate public lands that belong to the American people. The oil and gas industry doesn't need any more special favors or giveaways. The fossil fuel industry has received taxpayer handouts for decades. The BLM already makes the vast majority of federal lands available for oil and gas development. For example, BLM has classified more than 90 percent of lands it manages in 11 western states as available for oil and gas leasing. In contrast, conservation proposals have historically had to overcome greater institutional hurdles, and renewable energy projects on federal lands face much more stringent environmental standards than oil and gas development. Zinke's quest for faster permitting ignores the fact that delays are often the fault of industry and operators, not the BLM. From FY 2005 to FY 2015, it took operators an average of 133 days to resolve deficiencies in permit applications they filed with BLM, according to the Center for American Progress . Oil and gas drilling and fracking on public lands comes with a long list of threats to clean air, clean water, human health, wildlife and local communities. Federal oil and gas development with intensive industrial land disturbance and toxic chemicals has harmed human health, wildlife, sacred lands, drinking water sources and local economies focused on agriculture, tourism and outdoor recreation. It is the source of toxic air pollution that harms nearby communities where people live, work, and go to school . It destroys vital wildlife habitat. It generates massive amounts of toxic waste. And these impacts last for generations. We don't have time for 19th Century energy p olicies.\nErie may consider fracking as 'public health and safety\u2019 concern - Erie officials in July will weigh an emergency ordinance amending the town's \"public health and safety\" code to consider complaints against oil and gas odors, officials announced earlier this week. The decision signals the latest in a string of calls for heightened local regulation by Erie officials, who amid gridlock at the state Capitol have begun to ask themselves, how \u2014 if even possible \u2014 should oil and gas be locally governed? It's a question that has spurred the town, split between county lines \u2014 it straddles Boulder and Weld counties \u2014 and a perpetually divided Board of Trustees to explore a variety of ordinances aimed at more local control over oil and gas activity in recent months. Under the new protocol's umbrella, if approved, resident complaints regarding odors from oil and gas activities would be investigated by local police. Such complaints could ultimately result in a summons or a ticket for companies in violation; a relatively unique approach to mitigate oil and gas effects on surrounding neighbors, officials said. If approved, the ordinance could force oil and gas companies to answer to a potential slew of violations in municipal court (every violation under Erie code within a 24-hour period is a separate charge), according to Shapiro, an approach typical of how the town addresses code violations.\nDakota Access pipeline developer to keep fighting Indian artifacts case - Houston Chronicle: A dispute over whether the Texas-based developer of the Dakota Access oil pipeline improperly reported the discovery of American Indian artifacts in North Dakota will linger into the fall, as the company continues to fight a relatively minor violation and small fine.Energy Transfer Partners has been battling since November when state regulators filed a complaint and proposed a $15,000 fine, which pales in comparison to the $3.8 billion cost of the pipeline that began moving oil last month. The complaint came after the Public Service Commission, which oversees pipelines, was notified by a third-party inspector that pipeline crews last October had diverted construction of the pipeline around Native American artifacts. The company had obtained the approval of the State Historic Preservation Office but not of the commission.The artifacts weren't disturbed, and ETP maintains it didn't intentionally do anything wrong. A public hearing on the issue was scheduled for Aug. 16, but the company requested that written arguments be made first. The PSC has agreed to a briefing schedule with a final deadline of Sept. 22. The hearing will be rescheduled after that, Commissioner Julie Fedorchak said.The commission also is looking into whether the company removed too many trees while laying pipe in the state. An Aug. 17 public hearing is still scheduled. There is not yet a formal complaint in that matter, and \"briefs on that at this point would be premature,\" Fedorchak said. The company could face fines of up to $200,000 if found to have violated state rules in either case, though it could contest any fines in state district court.\nDakota Access developer drops private security accused of working without license - billingsgazette.com: The developer of the disputed Dakota Access oil pipeline said Wednesday that it no longer has private security personnel in North Dakota, including a firm that state regulators say operated illegally without a license. \"We continue to have security measures in place in North Dakota, just no longer need boots on the ground,\" Energy Transfer Partners spokeswoman Vicki Granado said in an email to The Associated Press. North Dakota's Private Investigative and Security Board last week asked a state judge to block North Carolina-based TigerSwan's armed workers from continuing to monitor the pipeline system. The board said TigerSwan had no license during the height of the protests and continued operating after being denied one. Granado said in her email that TigerSwan stopped providing security services in the \"last couple of weeks.\" TigerSwan said it ended work with Dallas-based ETP near the end of June. TigerSwan was founded by retired military special forces members. The regulatory board alleges in court documents that TigerSwan employees with semi-automatic rifles and handguns protected workers and equipment at construction sites, conducted intelligence on protesters including placing or trying to place undercover agents within the protest groups, and even monitored traffic on a state highway. The board also said TigerSwan continued to provide round-the-clock security along the pipeline in the state.\nMinn. oil pipeline fight stokes threats, fears of Standing Rock - Each day for decades, five pipelines have quietly pumped more than 2 million barrels of Canadian crude oil below northern Minnesota's forests, lakes and rivers to refineries around the Upper Midwest. The lines were built in an era with no federal environmental law requiring studies or public hearings, keeping opposition to a minimum. Those days are gone, replaced by a massive multi-year permitting process that requires transparency and public input \u2014 and an environmental movement determined to make its voice heard. That was never clearer than last year when what began as a small protest over the route of an oil pipeline near North Dakota's Standing Rock Reservation mushroomed into a months long international incident. Protesters ultimately lost that fight after Donald Trump became president. Many of those same activists, though, are focusing now on Minnesota where Enbridge Energy hopes to build a new pipeline to replace its aging Line 3. Activists are pressing Minnesota officials now to deny the permit and kill the project. State officials and company executives working to head off a confrontation say they're doing more than ever to listen to the concerns of those in the pipeline's potential path. That may not be enough to stop a confrontation.\"If that permit is issued, you can be sure you will have Standing Rock in Minnesota. I will tell you that,\" White Earth tribal member and Honor the Earth executive director Winona LaDuke said prior to one of 22 public meetings state regulators recently held across northern Minnesota.\"We've been very clear with the state representatives, and the governor of Minnesota, that if they approve this line, there will be tens of t housands of people in Minnesota.\"\nRenewed slide in oil price will test U.S. shale profits: Kemp (Reuters) - U.S. independent oil and gas producers came close to breaking even during the first quarter of 2017 thanks to aggressive cost cutting and improvements in well productivity.Some shale producers claim they can drill wells profitably at prices well below $50 per barrel and in some cases below $40. But Harold Hamm, chief executive of Continental Resources, a major producer in North Dakota and Oklahoma, has said oil prices need to be above $50 to be sustainable.Prices below $40 would force producers to idle rigs again, he said in a recent interview (\u201cHarold Hamm warns oil prices below $40 will idle U.S. drilling\u201d, CNBC, June 28).The renewed drop in oil prices, unless quickly reversed, looks set to put these conflicting claims to the test. Fifteen independent producers with operations focused on the United States reported a combined net loss of $3.7 billion in the first three months of 2017 (http://tmsnrt.rs/2uxKwbb).But most of the losses were attributable to Marathon Oil, which reported a net loss of $4.9 billion, mostly as a result of an impairment charge linked to its Canadian oil sands businesses.The other fourteen companies in the sample reported total net income of almost $1.3 billion, up from a loss of $9.9 billion in the first quarter of 2016. Shale producers have benefited from a combination of cost reductions, improvements in drilling efficiency and well productivity, and a significant increase in oil and gas prices.The average price of WTI, the domestic benchmark, rose from $33 per barrel in the first quarter of 2016 to $52 in the first quarter of 2017.Unless there are further exceptional write-downs, the sample group may be able to increase their net income in the second quarter despite the fall in prices.Many, though not all, shale producers have hedged the price of their output for the remainder of 2017 which gives them some protection in the short-term against the downturn. But very little production has been hedged so far for 2018. The current calendar strip means hedging is only possible for 2018 at a WTI price of around $47 - and many shale producers will actually receive less.\nHas U.S. Shale Wrecked Its Own Recovery? --Operational improvements in shale and non-shale oil drilling, on top of lower expenses for oilfield services and access to pipeline capacity, have driven down the costs of producing the fossil fuel since the 2014 market crash. But the increase in output has forced barrel prices into a deeper bearish market, causing further damage to corporate bottom lines.This trend is mapped clearly in the MSCI\u2019s World Energy Index, which measures the progress of large and medium sized companies in 23 oil-producing countries on a quarterly basis. ExxonMobil, Chevron, Total, Royal Dutch Shell, and British Petroleum are the five biggest players on the index, which includes 85 other majors. Together, they have lost $115 billion in market value since the beginning of April, Bloomberg reports, according to World Oil. Post-crash downsizing caused over 350,000 job losses, with oilfield services (OFS) companies taking the biggest hit, according to data from Houston\u2019s Graves and Co. published last year. Since then, major energy markets, notably Texas, have begun rehiring workers at a snail\u2019s pace. It seems the recovery will not be anything televise-able.As the number of rigs in the Permian basin climbs, so does the demand and cost of securing essential oilfield services. Oil majors took to scrapping major projects and liquidating assets after the 2014 and 2016 price crashes to balance the books, giving the producers the upper hand in negotiating services contracts for their remaining projects. Now, OFS companies are taking their revenge, and it\u2019s beginning to show. S&P Global Platts predicts that OFS contracts will be 20 percent more expensive by the end of the year, partly because the best drilling spots have already been taken by the 900+ rigs already online across shale country. The slowdown in production showed on Friday, when Baker Hughes reported the first decline in active U.S. rigs in 24 weeks. The difference was only a single rig, but the end of the massive streak sent a clear message: prepare for a production plateau. In short, there isn\u2019t any leeway left in the oil price to sustain additional capacity while guaranteeing a profit and avoiding a deep dive in barrel prices. U.S. shale output can only go down from here.\nMore LPG To Be Railed To The Pacific Northwest And Shipped To Asia -- Plans are afoot to double and maybe triple the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) export capacity of the Pacific Northwest \u2014 British Columbia, Washington State and Oregon \u2014 giving the region an enhanced role in what has been a booming business. Volumes being shipped to Asia out of the Ferndale marine terminal in northwestern Washington State are at near-record levels, and AltaGas and Royal Vopak are building a 40-Mb/d (and expandable) export facility in northwestern BC that is planned to come online in early 2019. Further, Pembina may be only months away from committing to the construction of a 20-Mb/d LPG marine terminal, also in BC. Today we continue our series on the expanding role of Western Canada in LPG exports with a look at plans for new propane/butane marine-dock capacity in BC. In Part 1 of this series we discussed the fact that propane and butane \u2014 the two natural gas liquids (NGL) products generally referenced as LPG \u2014 are produced by the processing of natural gas to yield mixed NGLs and the fractionation of those NGLs into purity products. Refineries also produce LPG, but it is increased production of wet natural gas (with its high volumetric content of propane, butane and other NGLs) that has really been driving the market. As we said in Come on Down to My Boat, the U.S. five years ago flipped from its long-time status as a net LPG importer to a net exporter; by 2016 net exports averaged 785 Mb/d \u2014 several times where they stood in 2012.\n\u201cExplosive methane will create two million jobs!\u201d - The American Petroleum Institute has trotted out a commissioned study claiming an increase of two million jobs in 2040 off a base of four million (in 2015). First, these are not people working with development or distribution of natural gas. 44% are \u201cend user\u201d workers, that is, someone someplace who works to \u201c\u2026 convert natural gas and its associated liquids to electricity, petrochemical and other products and the industries that manufacture, sell, install and maintain gas-fired appliances and equipment used in the residential, commercial, vehicle and industrial sectors\u201d. (API, \u201cKey Observations and Findings\u201d) The implication is that if natural gas went away, so would these 44% of jobs. That is not correct. The report further defines these as The largest NAICS codes associated with the end-use segment are Chemical Manufacturing, Gas-fired Electric Power Generation, Power Boiler and Heat Exchanger Manufacturing, Household Appliance Repair and Maintenance, and Industrial Process Furnace and Oven Manufacturing. The end-use segment also includes portions of the jobs related to Industrial Equipment and Machinery Repair and Maintenance, Industrial Construction, Freight Trucks, Turbine and Turbine Generator Set Manufacturing, Iron and Steel Pipe and Tube Manufacturing, and Freight Rail. While it is not clear what \u201clargest\u201d means here, nevertheless there is no notion of substitution or displacement. The natural gas industry is really responsible for jobs in \u201cHousehold Appliance Repair and Maintenance\u201d and \u201cChemical Manufacturing\u201d? Second, 30% of the claimed jobs are in fact directly associated with natural gas mining, production and distribution. These are fully tied to natural gas. Third, 25% of the claimed jobs consist \u201c\u2026of oil and gas production companies and their suppliers of goods and services\u2026\u201d, or, to quote their NAICS descriptions, The largest NAICS Codes primarily associated with the production segment include Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations, Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas Extraction, Drilling Oil and Gas Wells, and Oil and Gas Field Machinery Manufacturing. Natural gas can be credited with all of these jobs?\nU.S. gas market rebalances as power producers return to coal: Kemp - (Reuters) - The U.S. natural gas market has rebalanced with higher prices steadying production while reducing demand from electricity generators and making room for increased exports. Higher prices have averted the stock crunch many analysts feared in 2017 as a result of rising exports and the start up of a large number of new gas-fired combined cycle power plants. During the first six months of 2017, prices for next-month delivery at Henry Hub were almost $1 per million British thermal units or 46 percent higher than in the first half of 2016. Gas prices paid by electricity producers were up $1 per million British thermal units or 39 percent in the first four months of the year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. But gas-fired generation was down 15 percent compared with the same period in 2016 while the volume of gas consumed fell by 14 percent (http://tmsnrt.rs/2tgvKac). By contrast, total electricity generation from all sources was down by less than 2 percent compared with the prior year. Coal-fired power plants were the main beneficiaries from higher gas prices, increasing their electricity generation by almost 7 percent. Coal-fired plants operated at an average of 49 percent of their maximum output between January and April compared with 44 percent in the same period in 2016. By contrast, gas-fired combined-cycle units operated at 48 percent of their maximum output, down from 53 percent in 2016. Higher gas prices seem to have arrested the slide in gas production, with output down by 4 percent compared with the previous year but showing signs of stabilising. The ramp up in oil drilling since May 2016 in response to higher oil prices has also boosted associated gas output. Stabilising gas output and reduced consumption by electricity generators has freed up gas for export while leaving inventories at comfortable levels.U.S. gas exports increased nearly 50 percent to 1,045 billion cubic feet in the first four months, while gas imports were up just 6 percent to 1,063 billion cubic feet.As a result, net imports shrank from 303 billion cubic feet in January-April 2016 to just 18 billion cubic feet in January-April 2017.Working gas stocks in underground storage stood at 2,816 billion cubic feet on June 23, which was 313 billion below 2016 but 183 billion above the five-year seasonal average.Storage injections have been broadly tracking the normal seasonal trajectory, especially once adjusted for the slightly wa rmer-than-average start to the cooling season.\nUS BSEE approves plan to combine Beaufort Sea leases; could renew exploration -- A federal agency has approved a plan to unitize, or combine, former Shell leases in Alaska's Beaufort Sea that are now held by a subsidiary of an Alaska Native-owned corporation, the first step toward resumed exploration in the area, officials said Monday.The area is in the US Outer Continental Shelf, about 15 to 20 miles off the northern Alaska coast. Mark Fesmire, Alaska director of the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement, said ASRC Exploration Inc., a subsidiary of Arctic Slope Regional Corp., now has an approved unit and has also applied for a Suspension of Operations on the former Shell leases. This is an action that temporarily halts the pending expiration of the lease terms, Fesmire said. If granted, the suspension would allow ASRC Exploration to conduct exploration, and if a discovery is made, the leases are automatically extended.ASRC purchased Shell's Beaufort Sea lease holdings in late 2016 after Shell withdrew from active Arctic exploration the previous year. \u201cThe unit approval includes 20 Outer Continental Shelf leases that will now be grouped and administered as one unit. The advantage of unitization is that it allows an operator to do work on one lease and have that count as a development action in holding the entire group,\" Fesmire said.\nApache exits Canada in three deals worth $713 million - Apache Corp. will exit Canada in three separate transactions worth a combined $713 million, much of which it plans to plow into the Permian Basin and other fields, the company said late Thursday.The Houston driller's deals continue the oil industry's exodus from the Canadian oil sands business, after European and U.S. rivals Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil, ConocoPhillips and Marathon Oil Corp. announced similar asset sales earlier this year.Apache has inked a deal to sell its Canadian subsidiary, which owns property in Alberta and British Columbia, to Paramount Resources for $459.5 million. That deal is expected to close next month. Calgary-based Paramount has also agreed to merge with fellow Canadian producer Trilogy Energy Corp. Last month, Apache also sold off oil assets in Alberta to an undisclosed company and, in a separate deal, sold other holdings in Saskatchewan and Alberta to Cardinal Energy in Calgary.In 2016, about 11 percent of Apache's oil and gas output came from Canada, where it had about 13 percent of its proved reserves, according to regulatory filings.Apache said it would redirect a portion of the proceeds to its drilling programs in the Permian Basin and other areas in the United States, the U.K. North Sea and Egypt. The rest of the funds will go toward paying down debt and other uses. The company had previously set aside $125 million to develop its assets in Canada, but now it plans to spend that capital elsewhere.\nAfter $3 billion spent, Keystone XL can\u2019t get oil companies to sign on --Keystone XL is facing a new challenge: The oil producers and refiners the pipeline was originally meant to serve aren't interested in it anymore. Delayed for nearly a decade by protests and regulatory roadblocks, Keystone XL got the green light from President Donald Trump in March. But the pipeline's operator, TransCanada Corp., is struggling to line up customers to ship crude from Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast, say people familiar with the matter.TransCanada Chief Executive Russ Girling remains committed to completing Keystone XL and believes it will prove profitable in the long term, say two people familiar with his thinking. But it may be years before the company recoups its investment in the pipeline, these people say.TransCanada has spent $3 billion to date on Keystone XL, much of it on steel pipe, land rights and lobbying. Completed, the pipeline would travel 1,700 miles from Alberta to Steele City, Neb., where it would link up with existing pipelines that run to the Gulf Coast.The lack of interest has put the pipeline's fate in jeopardy. The company, based in Calgary, Alberta, has said it wants enough customers to fill 90% of Keystone's capacity before it proceeds. It started to aggressively court potential customers earlier this year as it seeks to meet that target, according to people familiar with the situation. TransCanada expects the pipeline, which would carry up to 830,000 barrels of oil a day, to cost $8 billion, compared with its initial estimate of $7 billion. The company took a $2 billion write-down related to the pipeline last year. The uncertain outlook for Keystone XL stands in contrast to Mr. Trump's upbeat rhetoric in March. The president invited Mr. Girling to the Oval Office and announced he was reversing an Obama administration move to block construction, declaring, \"It's going to be an incredible pipeline, greatest technology known to man.\"\nHas Keystone XL Become Obsolete? -- Keystone XL may have become obsolete before it was even built, at least according to some sources close to TransCanada, which has gone on a hunt for clients. A Wall Street Journal analysis quotes these sources as saying Canadian producers and U.S. refiners are just not interested in the pipeline that is supposed to carry 830,000 barrels daily of Alberta heavy crude to Gulf Coast and Midwest refineries. This lack of interest seems to be driven by TransCanada\u2019s quest for long-term commitments, with producers and refiners seemingly unwilling to make such commitments in the current price environment. Also, according to the WSJ, Canadian crude comes at a higher cost than alternative heavy crude blends, which is contributing to the lack of enthusiasm for long-term commitments. That is likely to change over the long term, however, when declining imports from Mexico and Venezuela will benefit Canadian crude. The company behind the project itself seems upbeat. Already having spent US$3 billion on the project and planning to spend another US$5 billion before it is completed, TransCanada remains confident that it will find enough customers to fill Keystone XL at 90 percent of capacity over the next few months. For the time being, producers and refiners are moving the oil by rail \u2013 a much more expensive and riskier option than pipelines. Oilprice wrote last month about a looming pipeline capacity crisis in North America, which is likely to result in an increase in railway oil shipments. If Goldman Sachs is any indicator, railways have a bright future as an alternative to pipelines, although its long-term sustainability at current oil prices is questionable. What is unlikely to change, though, is U.S. Gulf Coast refineries\u2019 need for a combination of light and heavy crudes to operate. Canadian crude may not be their only choice, but as producers north of the border focus on bringing down production costs just as much as their peers south of the border, it may become more competitive. Keystone XL still needs the green light from Nebraska before construction begins. The state\u2019s Public Service Commission held a public hearing on the project last month, saying it would make its final decision by November 23 at the latest.\nCanada Undermines Targets for Protecting Oceans by Increasing Oil Exploration -- naked capitalism - Jerri-lynn Scofield - This Real News Network interview with Sabine Jessen, National Director of the Oceans Program for the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, discusses the Trudeau government\u2019s plans to increase offshore oil exploration even though such a policy will undermine protection targets included in international agreements Canada has signed.\nFracking site entrance blocked in protest against drilling process - Protesters have blockaded the entrance to a fracking site as part of a month of action to resist the controversial drilling process. The group of 13 protesters, including three local councillors, arrived at the site on Preston New Road in Fylde, Lancashire, in the early hours of Monday morning and locked themselves to objects in an attempt to prevent vehicles entering the site. Lancashire county councillor Gina Dowding said: \"It's abundantly clear that when it comes to fracking, local councils have been rendered weak and helpless. I feel I need to be here with the community to say that we won't roll over and accept this. \"We are putting our bodies on the line because our voices haven't been heard.\" Kirkham town councillor Miranda Cox said: \"When your community and family is threatened, you are often left with little choice but to take direct action. \"As a councillor and member of this community, I have been left with no more alternatives. \"I feel our way of life locally is under attack by an industry that, backed by a distant central government, is seeking to turn Fylde and Lancashire into the largest gas field in Europe. I cannot stand by and allow this mass industrialisation to happen.\"\nFracking Companies Hoped They'd Get Away With It -- When Cuadrilla, Ineos and other fracking companies set their sights on turning the English countryside into major gas fields a few years ago, they were relying on the fact that this would stay mostly below the radar, and they could simply get on with getting the drills in and raking in profits. Several years on, this couldn't be further from the truth, as an unprecedented month-long Rolling Resistance kicks off in Lancashire this July. Organised by Reclaim the Power, hundreds of people from all across the country are making their way to a camp set up near Preston New Road. They are joining and amplifying the efforts of an incredibly strong and battle-hardy community which has dug in their heels in ever since the threat first appeared in Lancs. Rapidly formed groups like Frack Free Lancs and Preston New Road Action Group continue to cause fracking giant Cuadrilla costly delays and clear frustration. The resistance to fracking here doesn't just centre on the fact that fracking is a dirty, polluting and dangerous industry which threatens communities, our climate and health. On top of the environmental issues, the profound insult to democracy is that the people of Lancs already said no to fracking. In 2015, residents followed proper procedure to convince Lancashire county council to reject fracking. But then a year later, as local councillor Miranda Cox notes, the \"ironically named Communities Secretary Sajid Javid\" overruled this decision in Westminster, and decided to force fracking on a local area that is firmly opposed.\nIreland becomes third European country to ban onshore fracking - The Republic of Ireland has become the third EU member state to ban onshore fracking, after President Michael D. Higgins signed the bill into law yesterday. The Petroleum and Other Minerals Development (Prohibition of Onshore Hydraulic Fracturing) Bill 2016 was first introduced as a private members bill by Fine Gael party TD backbencher Tony McLoughlin last year, and received widespread support from across the political spectrum. The Taoiseach - Ireland's parliament - passed the bill in May before it was finally signed into law by the President yesterday in a historic move that has been praised by green campaigners and described by McLoughlin as \"one of the proudest moments in my political career\".Its done! Weve made history & become the 3rd state in the EU to ban #Fracking. One of proudest moments in my political career. Thanks to all pic.twitter.com/amTmuQAdRl \u2014 Tony McLoughlin TD (@TonyMcLTD) June 28, 2017McLoughlin added in a statement that if fracking had been allowed in Ireland it would \"pose significant threats to the air, water and health and safety of individuals and communities here\".\"This law will mean communities in the West and North West of Ireland will be safeguarded from the negative effects of hydraulic fracking,\" he said. \"Fracking must be seen as a serious public health and environmental concern for Ireland.\"Friends of the Earth Ireland also welcomed the news yesterday as \"a day to celebrate\".\nFracking in Colombia: What the frack? - The Bogot\u00e1 Post - Hydraulic fracturing \u2013 or simply \u2018fracking\u2019 \u2013 is a method of extracting oil and gas which has made its way from the US across most of South America and fracking in Colombia is in its exploratory stages. Much lauded as the second most biodiverse country in the world, Colombia faces difficult questions as the government tries to balance both economic and environmental needs. The anti-fracking group, Alianza Colombia Libre de Fracking \u2013 an umbrella organisation of regional campaign groups \u2013 is demanding a complete ban on fracking in Colombia for a host of reasons, especially the environmental dangers that it poses to the country\u2019s water sources. However, exploratory drilling is already taking place in 43 zones and the group fears these will pave the way for full fracking licences, which up until now have not been issued. The Alianza used International Water Day on March 22 to publish an open letter to President Santos outlining their concerns. Their spokesperson, Carlos Andr\u00e9s Santiago, explained to us: \u201cThe US Environmental Protection Agency have rigorously documented the negative effects of fracking on drinking water sources.\u201d Fracking is an \u2018unconventional\u2019 drilling method capable of extracting resources that \u2018conventional\u2019 or \u2018traditional\u2019 methods can\u2019t. Much of the world\u2019s oil and gas resources are trapped in reservoirs beneath the Earth\u2019s surface, making it possible to simply drill down and tap them. \u2018Unconventional\u2019 resources are those which are not trapped in large pockets, but rather are found in millions of small \u2018pores\u2019 in the ground, requiring more complex extraction techniques. Fracking involves releasing these oil and gas deposits by forcing a mixture of sand, water and chemicals at high pressure into the deep rock where they are found. To fully understand the scope of the environmental dangers of fracking, we must look at the entire process, from transportation to extraction and waste disposal.\nBrazil plans to test unconventional oil, natural gas production in 2018 - Brazil's government wants to start up a pilot project tapping unconventional oil and natural gas reservoirs next year, likely in the state of Bahia, as part of broader efforts to expand onshore output, a Mines and Energy Ministry official said. Latin America's biggest country is well behind the curve in development of unconventional resources such as shale and tight oil and gas formations when compared with the US and neighboring Argentina. But much of the damage has been self-inflicted, with the government and regulators slow to respond to criticisms and lawsuits against current development policies. \"The idea is to bring everybody to the table to gain a broader understanding about the benefits and risks of non-conventionals,\" Joao Vicente de Carvalho Vieira, the ministry's director of oil and gas exploration, said on the sidelines of an industry event in Rio de Janeiro late Friday. \"There are a lot of negative reactions to the technique of hydraulic fracturing, but nobody knows the potential of these resources.\" Brazil could hold as much as 250 Tcf of gas and 5.4 billion barrels of oil in unconventional deposits, according to a study by the Energy Economics Institute at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Public resistance against unconventional exploration is strong in Brazil, despite the country's history of onshore and offshore oil production. Exploration of Brazil's onshore unconventional resources has been blocked by a series of lawsuits, including concessions granted during the country's 11th and 12th bid rounds. The government will host a workshop with ministries, federal and state government agencies, regulators, and officials from the National Petroleum Agency, or ANP, in August, Vieira said.\nUnique coral reef at risk as oil companies plan to drill near Amazon river -- Oil companies planning to drill near a vast coral reef at the mouth of the Amazon river have calculated that the unique ecosystem has a 30% chance of being affected in the event of an oil spill. The unique reef system astonished marine biologists when its existence was widely revealed last year, and is believed it could be the home for dozens of previously unknown species. But activists warn that an oil spill could irreparably damage the 1,000 kilometre-long ecosystem before scientists have even had a chance to study it.\u201cIt\u2019s unlike any other reef that we know about,\u201d said Sara Ayech, an oil campaigner at the London offices of Greenpeace. \u201cIf the companies drill there\u2019s a risk of an oil spill and if an oil spill hits the reef, then we could see parts of it destroyed before we even document them.\u201dThe Brazilian government has estimated that the Foz de Amazonas, or Amazon Mouth area, could hold 15.6bn barrels of oil. A consortium of oil companies led by French giant Total, and including BP and Brazil\u2019s state-run oil company Petrobras, snapped up five exploration blocks in the area when they were auctioned off in 2013. In January, Total said it had begun moving equipment to the Amazon area and planned to start drilling this year. The oil reservoirs it hopes to reach are situated in 1,900 metres of water, nearly 200 kilometres from the coast.Scientists from Greenpeace examined the publicly-available Environmental Impact Study Total submitted to the Brazilian authorities and found references to the possibility of an oil spill reaching the reef. Reef structures in the area to be drilled \u201cpresent possibilities of being impacted by oil\u201d, the study said. In winter that possibility could be as high as 30.33%, while in summer, 20.93%, the study produced for Total by companies Proceano and AECOM said. In February BP told the Guardian it planned to start drilling a block it controls by August 2018. Brazilian company Queiroz Galv\u00e3o also has a block it expects to start drilling from next year.\nChina may finance Russia\u2019s natural gas pipeline to Europe - Gazprom\u2019s Nord Stream 2 pipeline may get Chinese financing if European companies are forced out of the project by the latest round of US sanctions, business daily Vedomosti reports. Russian officials have already contacted Chinese banks, sources have told the media. \u201cNord Stream 2 has a good rate of return and low risks for creditors. Chinese banks may be interested,\u201d explains Aleksey Grivach, deputy CEO at Russia's National Energy Security Fund.The extension will double the existing pipeline which delivers natural gas to Germany under the Baltic Sea and is estimated to cost \u20ac9.5 billion. Initially, Engie, OMV, Royal Dutch Shell, Uniper, and Wintershall were to get a 50 percent stake minus one share in Nord Stream 2. However, red tape at the European Commission made Gazprom and its partners come up with another financing option. Under this plan, European companies will each provide an equal long-term loan to Gazprom, which will fully own the pipeline. Financing of Nord Stream 2 may be affected by new US sanctions which target firms investing in Russian gas and oil projects. According to the new bill passed by the US Senate, and currently, before the House of Representatives, companies will be forbidden from making investments of over $1 million in the Russian energy sector.\nTrump to promote U.S. natgas exports in Russia's backyard - President Donald Trump will use fast-growing supplies of U.S. natural gas as a political tool when he meets in Warsaw on Thursday with leaders of a dozen countries that are captive to Russia for their energy needs. In recent years, Moscow has cut off gas shipments during pricing disputes with neighboring countries in winter months. Exports from the United States would help reduce their dependence on Russia. Trump will tell the group that Washington wants to help allies by making it as easy as possible for U.S. companies to ship more liquefied natural gas (LNG) to central and eastern Europe, the White House said. Trump will attend the \"Three Seas\" summit - so named because several of its members surround the Adriatic, Baltic and Black Seas - before the Group of 20 leading economies meet in Germany, where he is slated to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time. Among the aims of the Three Seas project is to expand regional energy infrastructure, including LNG import terminals and gas pipelines. Members of the initiative include Poland, Austria, Hungary and Russia's neighbors Latvia and Estonia. Trump's presence will give the project a lift, said James Jones, a former NATO Supreme Allied Commander. Increased U.S. gas exports to the region would help weaken the impact of Russia using energy as a weapon or bargaining chip, said Jones. \"I think the United States can show itself as a benevolent country by exporting energy and by helping countries that don\u2019t have adequate supplies become more self-sufficient and less dependent and less threatened,\" he said.\nTrump Hopes To Quietly Steal Russia's Natgas Dominance Over Europe --One month ago, after the shocking collapse of the Gulf nation status quo with the announcement of the diplomatic, naval and financial blockade of Qatar by the Saudi alliance, we said that while it is unclear how this latest political fiasco plays out, one thing was certain: with Saudi Arabia and Qatar suddenly adversaries, any likelihood of a Qatari natural gas pipeline crossing Syria - the fundamental cause behind the Qatar proxy war in the first place - was gone.But one key question remained: why would Europe vacate all hopes of an alternative provider of cheap, copious LNG and concede the role of quasi-monopolist supplier of this critical for Europe resource to Gazprom, and thus Russia whose leverage over the continent would only grow as a result. We now have the answer: none other than Donald Trump has been hoping to \"steal\" Russia's European natgas relationships and clients, in hopes of making the US become the dominant supplier of LNG to Europe. According to Reuters, Trump \"will use fast-growing supplies of U.S. natural gas as a political tool when he meets in Warsaw on Thursday with leaders of a dozen countries that are captive to Russia for their energy needs.\"\nTrump Takes Advantage of Europe's Fossil Fuel Dependence - After President Trump's speech last week promoting a dark and dystopian vision\u2014U.S. fossil \" energy dominance \"\u2014 it is no surprise that his visit to Poland centers on promoting U.S. exports of fracked gas. Beyond such bluster, reality tells a different story. U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are expensive . For the economics to work, U.S. production costs have to be low while prices in importing countries stay high. In India, a major importer of U.S. LNG is now finding itself at the mercy of contracts that locked in high prices for U.S. LNG, relative to other sources of gas. This is how energy dominance will play out for those at the receiving end. Consumers in LNG exporting countries are also getting pinched. In Australia, for example, \" extreme \" levels of LNG exports have caused economic disruptions. While the Industrial Energy Consumers of America's call for a moratorium on LNG exports is prudent, Trump is not known for his prudence. The fracking industry dominates the Trump administration , and it wants more pipelines to support more exports. The U.S. government is allowing pipeline companies to forcibly take land away from property owners through eminent domain\u2014not to benefit the general public, but to increase the amounts of U.S. oil and gas brought to the surface and burned, and increase industry profits. In short, we are witnessing the transformation of the U.S. into a petrostate. Former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson is running the State Department, and oil and gas cheerleaders Rick Perry and Scott Pruitt are at the Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.\nAustralia's east coast LNG exports second highest on record in June -- Australia's east coast LNG export hub Gladstone, shipped its second largest monthly volume in June, while China took the most it ever has from the port in a single month, data from Gladstone Ports Corporation showed Thursday.Total exports crept 1% higher month on month to 1.71 million mt in June, from 1.68 million mt in May, which made it the port's second biggest month for LNG exports, beaten only by the all-time record of 1.75 million mt set in December, the data showed. Exports from six LNG trains are shipped out from Gladstone port. They are: the 9 million mt/year Australia Pacific LNG, the Santos-led 7.8 million mt/year Gladstone LNG, and the 8.5 million mt/year Queensland Curtis LNG, each with two trains. All six trains have been up and running since APLNG brought its second train online last October. And the June export figure is 14% stronger than June last year when 1.49 million mt of LNG was shipped.\nIndian refiners tap spot crude market to feed increased capacity | Reuters: Indian companies have stepped up purchases of high-sulphur crude oil from the Middle East and Russia in the spot market to feed demand from expanded refining capacity, trade sources said. Four refiners in the world's third largest crude importer bought 9 million barrels of Middle East and Russian crude loading in July-August via spot tenders last month, drawing down excess supplies in the market after China's demand slowed. Refiners such as Indian Oil Corp (IOC) and Bharat Petroleum Corp Ltd (BPCL) have opted to buy more spot crude as they gradually ramp up output, rather than increase long-term crude supplies, the sources said. IOC expects to run its new 300,000-bpd Paradip refinery at full capacity this year, while BPCL plans to ramp up output at its Kochi refinery to 310,000 bpd by September after an expansion, they said. \"Refiners are buying heavier grades to increase middle distillate and fuel oil yields,\" Ehsan Ul Haq, director at London-based consultancy Resource Economics said, as refining profits for these products have strengthened. Indian refiners have also increased room for spot purchases during a period of abundant supplies, allowing them to react quickly to market changes and pick up cargoes when prices are competitive. IOC said in May it plans to buy 68 percent of its oil needs from term suppliers, down from 80 percent earlier.\nPakistan Fines Shell $2.6 Million For Oil Tanker Explosion That Killed 218 --Pakistan has ordered Shell Pakistan to pay at least $2.6 million in compensation after more than 200 people were killed when one of its tankers overturned and exploded in a devastating inferno last month.The tanker contracted by Royal Dutch Shell's local subsidiary crashed on a main highway in central Punjab Province while carrying some 50,000 liters of fuel from Karachi to Lahore on June 25. It exploded minutes later, sending a fireball through crowds from a nearby village who had gathered to scavenge the spilled fuel, despite warnings by the driver and police to stay away.The death toll from the debacle has risen steadily as dozens of people taken to hospitals with severe burns after the accident later died. It stood at 218 people on July 7, with 38 victims still in the hospital, some in critical condition.The fines ordered by Pakistan's oil and gas regulator include a 10 million-rupee ($95,000) penalty on Shell Pakistan, 1 million-rupee ($9,400) compensation for the families of each deceased, and 500,000 ($4,700) rupees for each person injured. That puts the total of fines at $2.48 million for the families of the dead so far. It was not immediately clear how many wounded would receive compensation.\nJapan to raise crude storage capacity for Saudi Aramco -- Japan said on Friday that it was preparing to raise the crude oil storage capacity that it lends for free to Saudi Aramco by 30 percent from this summer. The extra storage will help Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, as it battles to keep customers in northern Asia amid a global glut and relatively low prices. In return for providing free storage, Japan gets a priority claim on the stockpiles in case of emergency. Japan is Saudi Arabia's biggest market for crude, but oil stored at the site on the southern islands of Okinawa has also been supplied to South Korea and China. Storage available to Saudi Arabia will be increased by 1.9 million barrels to 8.2 million barrels (1.3 million kl) as part of an agreement last October to extend the storage to 2019, a Japanese trade ministry official said. Work is underway to have additional tanks ready this summer at a storage facility in Uruma City in Okinawa, the official added. State-owned Saudi Aramco has stored crude in Okinawa since February 2011 at no cost. Japan has a similar deal with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC), under which ADNOC can store up to 6.29 million barrels (1 million kilolitres) at Kiire oil terminal in southern Japan's Kagoshima. As Japan gas a priority claim on the stockpiles, it treats the crude oil stored by Aramco and ADNOC as quasi-government oil reserves, counting half of the barrels as national crude reserves. Aramco and ADNOC need to fill at least half of the storage space at all times. Japan has extended the storage deals with Aramco and ADNOC to the end of December 2019.\nIran to sign new IPC gas deal with Total for South Pars on Monday - Iran plans to sign a new contract to develop its giant South Pars gas field with France's Total and China's CNPC on Monday, the first major Western energy investment since sanctions against Tehran were lifted, an Iranian oil ministry official told Reuters on Sunday. A spokesman for Total confirmed the company will sign the contract to produce gas for the Iranian market from 2021, adding that the 20-year deal with will be the first Iranian Petroleum Contract (IPC) signed in Iran. Total holds a 50.1 interest in the South Pars project with state-owned China National Petroleum Corporation owning 30 percent and Iran's Petropars 19.9 percent. The offshore field was first developed in the 1990s and Total was one of the biggest investors in Iran until the international sanctions were imposed in 2006 over suspicions that Tehran was trying to develop nuclear arms. Total has decided to return and develop Phase 11 of the South Pars project, which will cost up to $5 billion. \"The international contract for development of Phase 11 of South Pars in the framework of IPC (Iranian Petroleum Contract) will be signed on Monday, July 3, at 14:30, at a ceremony in Tehran attended by Iranian oil minister Zanganeh and senior officials from France\u2019s Total, China\u2019s CNPCI and Iran's Petropars,\" the Iranian oil ministry official said. Total's Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne told Reuters last month that the group would make an initial $1 billion investment after the United States extended sanctions relief under the 2015 agreement.\nQatari LNG development to extend LNG surplus into mid-2020s - The Barrel Blog - Qatar\u2019s announcement Tuesday that it will double the size of its proposed new development on the giant North Field to 4 Bcf/d and use the gas for LNG exports will throw off course multiple new LNG projects elsewhere in the world. According to the International Gas Union, there were 879 million mt/year of proposed LNG projects waiting in the wings at the start of 2017. Qatar has said that the new project will raise its LNG capacity from 77 million mt/year to 100 million mt/year, an addition of 23 million mt/year, and that the project will take five to seven years to complete. 4 Bcf/d gas is the equivalent of 30 million mt/year of LNG, suggesting that some of the gas will be used either for domestic consumption or to support existing LNG capacity. However, the LNG market already expects a glut of new supply and is uncertain how it will be absorbed. Over the course of 2017, 42.45 million mt/year of new liquefaction capacity is expected to come on-stream, primarily in Australia and the US, but this year also witnesses the start-up of the first train at Yamal LNG in Russia, which will be Russia\u2019s second LNG plant. The additions in 2017 come on top of 42.2 million mt/year in 2015 and 2016 combined and a further 32.6 million mt/year and 34.2 million mt/year respectively in 2018 and 2019. The project pipeline then starts to run dry, with 6.8 million mt/year added in 2020 and none in 2021. Overall global LNG capacity will have expanded from 304.4 million mt/year in 2015 to 459.15 million mt/year in 2020; a 50% increase in five years. This supply wave is expected to depress spot LNG prices. In turn, in markets which have both LNG and pipeline import options, cheap LNG is expected to create a ceiling price, depending on the level of infrastructural and contractual flexibility within markets to arbitrage between LNG and pipeline supplies.\nOPEC's rising oil exports put output cuts to the sword -- OPEC's attempt to bolster crude oil prices by cutting output are now largely an exercise in self-deception, with recent production and export numbers laying bare the group's shortcomings. While the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries may be able to claim relatively high compliance with its plan to lower output by 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd), this is ultimately just a smokescreen. Of far more importance is evidence that the group actually exported more crude in the first six months of this year than it did in the first half of 2016. OPEC exports jumped to 25.92 million bpd in June this year, up 450,000 bpd from May's 25.47 million bpd, according to vessel-tracking and port data compiled by Thomson Reuters Oil Research. Over the first six months of this year OPEC exports averaged 25.02 million bpd, up 290,000 bpd from the same period in 2016, according to the data. OPEC may be able to claim a small win insofar as the group's exports have dropped from the second half of 2016, when they averaged 25.14 million bpd. But this is a tiny reduction from what was a period of near record output for the group, and in some ways actually only underscores the lack of success OPEC has had so far this year in restricting exports. The rise in OPEC exports in the first half does look at odds with the cuts the group has made to production, with the 11 members that committed to lowering output achieving 92 percent compliance with their targets in June, according to a Reuters survey. But the vessel-tracking data show the crude market is getting as much oil from OPEC as it had been prior to the November deal.\nOPEC: Deeper crude oil output cuts? - The Barrel Blog - OPEC and its associated non-OPEC producers\u2019 decision in May to extend their production cuts for an additional nine months through to end-March 2018 has not been met with overwhelming enthusiasm by the oil market. In fact, quite the contrary; the price of Dated Brent sunk from above $53/barrel in May to just $44.46/b June 23, although it has rebounded slightly in recent days to $46.47/b June 28. If this slump is sustained, it may prove enough to stem the rise in the US oil rig count, although it is too soon to see any impact. Yet this is hardly the dynamic that OPEC wished to set in motion. If the rise in the US rig count does stall, it will merely reaffirm the responsiveness of US shale production to the oil price. If OPEC decides further cuts are necessary, and prices firm again, there is little to suggest that US rigs will do anything other than return to the field. The number of US drilling rigs targeting oil rose by another 11 in the week ending June 23 to 758, according to Baker Hughes data, the highest level since October 2015, when drilling activity was contracting sharply. As a result, the current outlook, according to the US Energy Information Administration, is for an increase in non-OPEC production this year of 700,000 b/d and then 1.4 million b/d in 2018. Moreover, there is more bad news from within, although it represents good news for the two countries concerned. Neither Nigeria nor Libya are subject to output restrictions because of their internal security situations. Both have seen a rebound in oil production and Libya\u2019s looks particularly robust, at least in volume terms.\nOPEC Looks Totally Bewildered by the Oil Market - It may be too soon to write OPEC\u2019s obituary, but the oil producer club appears in urgent need of late-life care. It shows little understanding of where it is, how it got there or where it\u2019s going. While it still manages to collect new members here and there, its core group looks more fragile than at any point in nearly 30 years. The historic output agreements, put together so painstakingly last year, are failing. Nearly 12 months of shuttle diplomacy culminated in two deals that would see 22 countries cut production by nearly 1.8 million barrels a day. Implementation has been better than for any previous output cut, with compliance put at 106 percent in May. A resounding success? Hardly. We're now in the final month of those deals and oil prices are lower than when they were agreed. Not only have producers sacrificed volume, but they earn less for each barrel they do produce. Having failed to use the good times to invest for a future of low oil prices, OPEC is facing a crisis of old age. It is falling apart internally, confounded by the world and increasingly irrelevant.The recent extension of the deals just leaves output restraint in place for another nine months, the best response OPEC could muster. Deeper cuts were barely mentioned. Assertions to do \"whatever it takes\" ring hollow. Indeed, there's no appetite for the big cuts that would demand real sacrifices in countries such as Russia, where normal seasonal factors helped it lower production in the first half of the year. Just sticking to current output levels could be difficult for the rest of 2017: early maintenance work has helped several OPEC members meet their targets but that can't continue. Then there's the problem of recovering output from Libya and Nigeria, both exempt from the cuts.\nTwo things are getting in the way of OPEC's scheme to boost oil prices: OPEC wants higher oil prices. But the same things keep getting in the way. Ever cheaper U.S. shale oil production and growing crude supplies are foiling the plans of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to support prices with an export cut designed to remove 1.8 million barrels a day from the market through March 2018. U.S. shale producers keep making their costs cheaper while Nigeria and Libya \u2014 two OPEC countries exempted from the cuts \u2014 keep producing more, said Dan Yergin, vice chairman of market research firm IHS Markit. \"It looked like the world was making progress toward rebalancing, but (these) two things have really pushed out rebalancing,\" added Yergin to CNBC's Squawk Box. Small, independent producers can churn out shale for $40 \u2014 or less \u2014 a barrel, he added.\"We are seeing that people can operate in the $45 range when people thought it was going to be in the $50s, because people keep figuring out how to push down the cost,\" said Yergin. This is as producers learn how to be more efficient in the growing industry. Data analytics and automation also help, he added. \"Forget that world of $100 \u2014 that was not the new normal; that was an aberration,\" Yergin said of prices before 2014, when oil prices crashed. Although they have recovered from their lowest below $30 a barrel last year, prices are still below $50 barrel on Thursday. Oil futures were slightly higher on Thursday in Asia, with U.S. crude moving around $45.40 per barrel while European Brent was around $48 per barrel.\nOil Production Vital Statistics June 2017 -- In June, the oil price succumbed to gravity and fell to $45 / bbl (Brent) but has since recovered to $50. OPEC 10 (excluding Libya, Nigeria and Gabon) produced 29.64 Mbpd in May, down 1.34 Mbpd on October 2016 and remains compliant with the agreed cuts. But adding in Nigeria and Libya, where production is rising, the cut is reduced to 1.04 Mbpd. Russia has cut 280,000 bpd and is largely compliant, but this merely undoes a sharp production ramp leading into the Ocober datum month. The real damage to the oil price comes from the USA where production is rising once again. Production in the USA is up 670,000 bpd on October 2016, undoing much of the OPEC constraint.OPEC have agreed to extend their cuts until March 2018. I have said all along that the magnitude of the cut is insufficient to support price when confronted with large over-supply and large inventories in storage. Large OECD projects continue to mature and come on line, for example the Kraken Field in the UK North Sea has just come on and will produce 50,000 bpd. The oil price will only begin to make a genuine and sustained recovery when non-OPEC supply begins to fall in response to low price. And that may not happen until late 2019.OPEC drilling remains close to a cyclical high (Figure 9) while US drilling continues to recover. Total US rigs stood at 940 on 30th June, up 32 for the month, though there are signs the rig count growth is slowing. Drilling remains stuck on a cyclical low everywhere else. Canadian production traditionally hits a seasonl low in June and this year is no exception with production down 700,000 bpd since February. Recovery from this seasonal low will will produce further head winds for the oil price for the remainder of this year. The following totals compare May 2016 with May 2017:\nWorld Total Liquids 95.34/96.69 +1,350,000 bpd\nOPEC 12: 31.82/31.88 +60,000 bpd\nRussia + FSU 13.95/14.31 +60,000 bpd\nEurope OECD 3.41/3.48 +70,000 bpd\nNorth America 18.60/19.62 +1,020,000 bpd\nWith global total liquids production up 1.35 Mbpd on a year ago despite OPEC+Russia cuts, it is little surprise that the oil price is significantly depressed. One reason for the large YOY increase was the Fort McMurray wild fire last year that shut down a large part of Canadian oil sands production. The following totals compare October 2016 with March 2017 and monitor compliance with the OPEC + others\u2019 production cuts.\nOPEC 10: 30.98/29.64 \u2013 1,340,000 bpd\nRussia + FSU 14.51/14.31/ -200,000 bpd\nOman 1.02/0.98 -40,000 bpd\nTotal -1.58 Mbpd \u2013 compliance has slipped a little\nHedge funds walk into bear trap in oil: Kemp (Reuters) - Hedge fund managers had amassed a record number of short positions in petroleum futures and options by the start of last week, which primed the oil market for a sharp short-covering rally at the end of the month.Hedge funds and other money managers held short positions in the five major contracts on crude, gasoline and heating oil amounting to 510 million barrels on June 27, according to regulatory and exchange data.Fund managers have added 200 million barrels of extra short positions since the end of May and 377 million barrels since crude prices peaked in the middle of February (http://tmsnrt.rs/2tIamvF).Hedge funds were even more pessimistic than in January 2016, with more short positions than when oil prices were touching their cyclical lows below $30 per barrel.Overall, fund managers were running net short positions of 20 million barrels in gasoline and 32 million barrels in heating oil on June 27 (http://tmsnrt.rs/2sEiw3l and http://tmsnrt.rs/2sEoUHL).Funds still had a net long position of 357 million barrels in crude but it had been cut from 589 million barrels on May 30 and a record 951 million barrels on Feb. 21 (http://tmsnrt.rs/2uhe8Ju).Growing doubts about the effectiveness of OPEC\u2019s production cuts, coupled with increases in crude output from Libya, Nigeria, Canada and the United States have prompted a wave of short-selling.And concerns about the health of gasoline demand and high level inventories in the United States have added to the bearishness within the hedge fund community.Fund managers have ramped up short positions in NYMEX WTI by 86 million barrels over the last four weeks, in the most aggressive short-selling cycle since the start of 2015 (http://tmsnrt.rs/2t8NQuy).But the sheer number of short sales left the market looking imbalanced and vulnerable to a short-covering rally (\u201cHedge funds hold near-record short positions in petroleum\u201d, Reuters, June 27). Crude prices have now risen for seven consecutive trading sessions as the pace of short sales slows and some hedge fund managers have been emboldened to start adding long positions in anticipation of a rally. Fund managers are likely to have closed out at least some of their short positions as prices have risen consistently over the last week.\nUS crude posts best winning streak since 2012 - Oil prices rose for an eighth day on Monday, marking its longest stretch of daily gains in more than five years after data pointed to moderating U.S. output. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures ended Monday's session $1.03, or 2.2 percent, higher, at $47.07 per barrel. That marked a four-week closing high, adding to last week's 7 percent gain. Brent crude futures climbed 92 cents, or 1.9 percent, to $49.69 per barrel by 2:35 p.m. ET (1835 GMT), after jumping 5.2 percent last week, its first weekly gain in six weeks. Brent traded at its highest intraday level in more than three weeks on Monday. Crude posted its longest unbroken stretch of gains since February 2012.\"Its all about market sentiment,\" said Commerzbank senior oil analyst Carsten Fritsch. He cited a 100,000 barrel per day drop in U.S. production due to tropical storms and maintenance, as well as a decline in U.S. rig count. \"These... (temporary) factors outweigh the sharp increase in OPEC oil production in June... and the continued increase in Libyan and Nigerian output at least at the moment,\" he said. Speculators in Brent crude futures and options raised their bets against a sustained price rise to the highest level on record in the latest week. Drilling activity for new oil production in the United States fell for the first time since January, dropping by two rigs, while U.S. government data showed crude output fell in April for the first time this year.\nOil prices fall on U.S. holiday after eight days of gains - Oil prices fell on Tuesday, halting a run of eight straight days of gains on signs that a persistent rise in U.S. crude production is running out of steam. Brent crude futures fell by 22 cents to $49.46 per barrel by 0927 GMT.U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were trading down 20 cents at $46.87 a barrel. The falls came after both benchmarks recovered around 12 percent from their recent lows on June 21. Many traders closed positions ahead of the U.S. Independence Day holiday on July 4, while Brent also faced technical resistance as it approached $50 per barrel, traders said.Despite this, the market's outlook has shifted somewhat.Late May and most of June were overwhelmingly bearish as U.S. output rose and doubts grew over the ability of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to hold back enough production to tighten the market.But sentiment began to shift toward the end of June, when U.S. data showed a dip in American oil output and a slight fall in drilling for new production.\"The fact that prices have not come under any noticeable pressure of late points to a shift in sentiment,\" Commerzbank said on Tuesday. \"This may be related to the fact that most of the 'shaky hands' have withdrawn from the market by now,\" the bank added.'\nMarkets Overcome The Crash: Oil Rally Continues -Oil prices continued to rally, retracing a good chunk of the losses made over the past month. Brent is flirting with $50 oil while WTI has moved above $45. The gains have largely been attributed to a spate of short-covering, but the gains have damped down some of the panic that the market suffered from two weeks ago. . Even as oil entered bear market territory only recently, a growing number of analysts see the selloff as going too far. Now some argue that there is a better chance of more price gains than there is in another downturn. The logic is the same as it was earlier this year: despite short-term volatility, the market is still heading towards balance, even if that is occurring at a painfully slow pace. \u201cWe thought this market was actually a bit oversold. We think the fundamentals are better than where the price was earlier,\u201d Helima Croft, global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, told CNBC. Other analysts agree. \"Given that all these bearish headlines have been priced into the market, if you're going to have any sort of risk of a large outside move, I think it would be to the upside at this point,\" Stephen Schork, editor of The Schork Report, said to CNBC.. The rig count fell for the first time since January. Oil rigs were down by 2 for the week ending on June 23, and while it is only one week\u2019s worth of data, the decline raises the prospect of the U.S. shale boom running out of steam as oil prices dropped into the low-$40s.\nCrude Tumbles After Russia Opposes Deeper Production Cuts - Crude oil fell sharply, ending the longest winning streak this year, as Russia was said to oppose any proposal to deepen OPEC-led production cuts. Futures dropped 4.1 percent in New York, the most in four weeks, after eight straight sessions of gains. Russia doesn\u2019t want to change the current deal because any further supply curbs would send the wrong message to the market, according to government officials. The U.S. dollar strengthened, reducing the appeal of commodities denominated in the currency.Russia \"pretty much threw cold water\" on rumors of additional cuts, The Bloomberg Intelligence index of independent exploration and production companies fell as much as 4.6 percent. Baker Hughes plunged as much as 37 percent on its first day of trading as a unit of General Electric Co.While crude prices surged last week, futures are down 16 percent for the year amid concerns that rising global supply will offset the output cuts from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners. Libya and Nigeria, which are exempt from the agreement, accounted for half of the group\u2019s production boost last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. West Texas Intermediate for August delivery settled $1.94 lower at $45.13 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Tuesday\u2019s transactions will be booked Wednesday for settlement purposes because of the U.S. Independence Day holiday. Prices gained almost 11 percent in the eight days through Monday. Brent for September settlement closed at $47.79 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange, down $1.82. The contract fell 0.1 percent to $49.61 on Tuesday, the first decline in nine sessions.\nOil brings 8-session rally to a screeching halt with biggest drop in a month - Oil prices suffer their largest drop in a month on Wednesday, snapping their longest run of gains since 2010 after news that Russia ruled out any proposals to deepen the global production cuts and reports of higher monthly exports from OPEC. August West Texas Intermediate oil lost $1.94, or 4.1%, to settle at $45.13 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, posting its first loss in nine sessions. That was the largest dollar and percentage loss since June 7. The contract only traded electronically and didn\u2019t settle on Tuesday due to the Independence Day holiday in the U.S. On Monday, WTI ended higher for an eighth straight trading day, scoring its longest streak of wins since January 2010, when the market rose for 10 straight sessions, according to data from WSJ Market Data Group. Over the period, it gained just over $4.50 a barrel, or roughly close to 11%. September Brent slumped $1.82, or 3.7%, to $47.79 a barrel Wednesday on ICE Futures Europe. Futures prices had traded in tight ranges earlier in Wednesday\u2019s session, but were sent sharply lower after Bloomberg reported that Russia opposes any further restrictions on oil supply other than the ones already agreed. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and a group of non-cartel members\u2014including Russia\u2014in May extended a deal to cut production into the first quarter of 2018. \u201cFollowing a strong rally in just eight days, the market is taking stock with news apart from those stemming from the U.S. having been mostly price-negative during the past week,\u201d That news includes \u201crising OPEC production due to Libya and Nigeria combined with Russia shooting down any hopes of further cuts.\u201d \u201c$50 on Brent proved one bridge too far to cross at this stage,\u201d\nNigerian oil output recovery adds to surplus - traders | Reuters: Nigerian crude for August loading is proving slow to find buyers amid rising supply, oil trading sources said on Wednesday, a sign that an expected second-half rebalancing of the global market is getting off to a slow start. An increase in production in Nigeria and Libya, where conflict and unrest had curbed output earlier this year, is adding to the volume of light, sweet crude looking for buyers in the Atlantic Basin, despite an OPEC-led supply cut aimed at getting rid of a surplus. Oil traders say there are at least 40 unsold August-loading Nigerian cargoes looking for buyers, the equivalent of almost half of daily world demand and a higher volume than at similar points in earlier months. \"It's starting to clear but there are still 40 plus left,\" said a trader, who said the excess supply for August loading was higher than earlier months as production has increased. \"It's more because there is a much bigger programme in August. It's slow on Nigerian.\" Lingering cargoes of crude from Nigeria, Africa's biggest exporter, have been a feature of the market this year , weighing on prices since Nigeria's crude is sold in relation to Brent, the global benchmark.. Such signs of excess should start to be less visible in coming months if, as analysts like the International Energy Agency forecast, the global market tightens in the second half of the year helped by the OPEC cut. But Nigerian exports are set to exceed 2 million barrels per day (bpd) in August, a 17-month high, and on Tuesday the head of the IEA said further increases by key producers could hamper the rebalancing. \u2018\nWTI Bounces On Biggest Crude Draw Since 2016 --Having broken its win-streak with the biggest drop in 4 weeks today following Russia comments, crude prices hovered around $45 as API reported a massive 5.8mm barrel crude draw (most since 2016) and 5.7mm gasoline draw (most in 4 months). API:\nAfter last week's product draws (and small crude build), we suspect the effects of tropical depression Cindy may be impacting the data as the draws are very significantly away from expectations...\nThe Global Oil Demand Driver That Is Being Ignored -- When looking at oil demand, oil market analysts focus overwhelmingly on passenger vehicles. One of the hottest debates today is over the prospect of peak oil demand: whether or not electric vehicles along with general trends towards more fuel efficiency will ultimately lead to a peak and decline of total oil demand worldwide. But the conversation often overlooks the role that heavy trucks and freight play in driving demand. The International Energy Agency just published a report arguing that the world needs to get a handle on fuel efficiency for freight, or else oil demand will continue to rise, regardless of how many Tesla\u2019s are on the road. Freight transit is crucial for economic growth, and indeed, it tends to be correlated with GDP. The IEA says that only four countries \u2013 Canada, the U.S., China and Japan \u2013 have fuel efficiency standards for heavy trucks, one-tenth of the 40 countries that have rules for passenger vehicles. \u201cFor far too long there has been a lack of policy focus on truck fuel efficiency. Given they are now the dominant driver of global oil demand, the issue can no longer be ignored if we are to meet our energy and environmental objectives\u201d Dr. Fatih Birol, the IEA\u2019s Executive Director, said in a press release.Since 2000, heavy trucks have accounted for 40 percent of the total growth in oil demand, on par with the share for passenger vehicles. Trucks burn about 17 million barrels of oil per day (mb/d), or about one-fifth of total global demand. Crucially, demand is still growing\u2026rapidly.\nOPEC can\u2019t save oil market alone\u2014the U.S. has to step in, says Morgan Stanley - OPEC and other major oil producers have taken on an ambitious battle to rebalance the oversupplied oil market, but despite the best intentions their efforts aren\u2019t enough, Morgan Stanley warns. In a Thursday research report, the Wall Street bank called on U.S. shale-oil producers to join in efforts to tackle the global supply glut that has pummeled prices since the summer of 2014. \u201cIf OPEC doesn\u2019t balance the market, the oil price will have to force it somewhere else, most likely in U.S. shale. For a chance of a balanced market in 2018, the U.S. rig count can no longer grow and possibly needs to contract ~150 rigs. Given current break-evens, this requires WTI between $46-50,\u201d the Morgan Stanley analysts said in the report. Cementing their downbeat assessment of the oil market, they significantly downgraded their 2017 forecasts for both West Texas Intermediate and Brent. They now see WTI trading at $48 a barrel at the end of the year, down from $55 expected previously. For Brent, they cut their forecast to $50.5 from $57.5. Crude oil for August delivery most recently traded at CLQ7, -2.83% $44.81 a barrel on Thursday, while Brent for September LCOU7, -2.95% was at $47.45 a barrel. Oil prices have been volatile in recent months, even as the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and other major producers\u2014including Russia\u2014have eased output. They initially agreed to a six-month pact running from January until the end of June, but as prices remained stubbornly low, they extended the accord into the first quarter of 2018. The OPEC and non-OPEC members have signed up to cut output by a collective 1.8 million barrels a day, hoping it will bring global oil inventories to a five-year average. The Saudi Arabian and Russian oil ministers have even pledged to do \u201cwhatever it takes\u201d to balance the market. However, there may be a limit to \u201cwhatever it takes,\u201d according to the Morgan Stanley analysts. \u201cAlthough compliance has been healthy, OPEC\u2019s production cuts have so far made little dent in inventory levels, which are still roughly as high as a year ago,\u201d they said. \u201cTo support prices in the mid-$50s, OPEC-12 would probably need to lower production by another 200,000-300,000 barrels a day and extend the output agreement to end-2018. We find this unlikely,\u201d they added.\nWTI/RBOB Jump After Major Inventory Draw Despite Biggest Production Surge In 6 Months --Oil bounced notably overnight after a surprisingly large crude build reported by API, but there was some selling in QTI/RBOB into today's DOE data, but that ended quickly as DOE reportedmajor inventory draws across the board sending WTI spiking above $46. However, after last week's drop, US crude production (in the Lower 48) soared by its most in 6 months. DOE:\nDraws across the board... \u201cAttention is likely to be focused not only on inventory trends, but also on gasoline demand in the run-up to the Fourth of July, as well as on U.S. oil production\u201d: Commerzbank\nOil settles slightly up; rally on U.S. inventory draw fades -- Oil futures settled up slightly on Thursday, well off session highs, after a sharp but short-lived boost from a much bigger-than-expected decline in U.S. inventories of crude oil and gasoline. Oil has not sustained gains for more than a couple of weeks as investors have grown more worried about the stubborn global crude glut. U.S. crude stocks fell 6.3 million barrels, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said, citing stronger refining activity and reduced imports. That was much more than the draw of about 2.3 million barrels analysts had forecast, and it took total crude inventories to 502.9 million barrels, the lowest since January. Crude prices gave back gains in the early afternoon. After hitting a high of $46.53 a barrel, U.S. futures settled up 39 cents to $45.52 a barrel. Brent futures hit a high of $49.18 a barrel after the inventory figures were released, but settled up 32 cents to $48.11 a barrel. \"There's a lot of bearishness out there now,\" said Phil Flynn, analyst at Price Futures Group in Chicago. \"The market is still believing supplies are not going to be in balance globally.\" Investors believe the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will need to make further output cuts to offset thriving shale production in the United States. U.S. gasoline stocks dropped 3.7 million barrels in the most recent week, far exceeding the expected drop of 1.1 million barrels. Still, gasoline inventories remain about 6 percent above seasonal averages, so investors will watch for July data to see if demand is strong enough to whittle down stocks. The price of oil has tumbled from one-month highs just below $50 on increased production from OPEC, even as the group has pledged to cut output.\nBrent Tumbles To $46 Handle After US Crude Production Surge --Yesterday's \"bullish\" slump in inventories (and record demand) was offset by a resurgence in US crude production and along with Russia's lack of enthusiasm for more production cuts, is weighing heavily on oil prices this morning Today's rig count data will be a key catalyst for signals that US shale production growth may be topping.\u201cThe market\u2019s trying to pin it on the production increase but that seems overstated,\u201dsays Warren Patterson, commodity strategist at ING. \u201cThere was some strong [Brent] resistance at $50 and since the failure there it seems to have been one way\u201d \u201cThe market did get a bit ahead of itself before the numbers so we are seeing some correction as a result of that\u201dAs Bloomberg Intelligence's Philipp Chladek notes, Russia and Kazakhstan's rejection of further oil production cuts that could be proposed by OPEC will hurt crude prices in 2H. Russia, with the lion's share, is leading a group of 11 non-OPEC nations committed to reduce output by 558,000 barrels per day. But Russian compliance has been weak thus far. That's also true of Kazakhstan, which started its multi-billion dollar 370,000 barrel Kashagan field. Non-OPEC cuts are voluntary and OPEC doesn't have a mechanism in place to prevent any breach.Additionally WSJ is now reporting that OPEC is mulling production caps for Libya and Nigeria, the market is unimpressed for now.\nBHI: US rig count rises by 12 - Last week\u2019s slight decline in the US rig count may have been more of fluke than a sign of an impending plateau in drilling. Baker Hughes Inc.\u2019s tally of active rigs was back up double-digits during the week ended July 7, rising 12 units to 952, up 548 units since the bottom of the drilling downturn on May 20-27, 2016, and its highest point since Apr. 17, 2015.Last week\u2019s single-unit drop ended 23 consecutive weeks of increases (OGJ Online, June 30, 2017). The count has fallen just six times since the drilling rebound began. US oil-directed rigs, down 2 last week, gained 7 units this week to 763, up 447 units since May 27, 2016, and their highest point since Apr. 2, 2015. Gas-directed rigs rose 5 units to 189, up 108 units since Aug. 26, 2016, as part of their own resurgence. All 12 units were onshore, bringing that tally to 927. Rigs engaged in horizontal drilling climbed 12 units to 804, up 490 units since May 20-27, 2016. Directional drilling rigs rose 3 units to 74. According to preliminary weekly estimates from the US Energy Information Administration, US crude oil production during the week ended June 30 jumped 88,000 b/d to 9.338 million b/d, nearly making up the losses from the previous week\u2019s dive caused by preparations for Tropical Storm Cindy and maintenance in Alaska. Lower 48 output spiked 105,000 b/d while Alaska fell 17,000 b/d. However, EIA late last week reported that US production posted its first monthly decline of the year in April, shedding 24,000 b/d to 9.083 million b/d, a departure from its early weekly estimates for the month that showed higher output. Gulf of Mexico production dived 101,000 b/d primarily due to maintenance work, more than offsetting increases in major producing states Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, and North Dakota. In news this week impacting US operators, US Interior Sec. Ryan Zinke signed an order aimed at reducing drilling permit delays on federal onshore lands and holding lease sales at least quarterly (OGJ Online, July 6, 2017). The average time to process a drilling permit application in Fiscal 2016 was 257 days. Oklahoma and its Woodford shale again bolstered the major oil- and gas-producing states and regions this week. The Sooner State gained 4 units to 136, up 82 units since its recent low on June 24, 2016, and its highest point since Mar. 20, 2015. The Cana Woodford also climbed 4 units and now totals 63, up 39 since June 24, 2016. The Arkoma Woodford rose 1 unit to 10. The Mississippian dropped 1 unit to 6. Alaska\u2019s count doubled to 8. Texas, quiet as of late, gained 2 units to 463, up 290 units since May 20-27, 2016. Louisiana also rose 2 units and now counts 69. The Haynesville, which stretches from North Louisiana into East Texas, climbed 2 units to 43, up 30 units since Sept. 30, 2016. The Granite Wash, which stretches from western Oklahoma into the Texas Panhandle, increased 2 units to 14. New Mexico and Utah each lost 1 unit to 59 and 7, respectively. The Permian basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico recorded its first decline in 16 weeks, edging down 1 unit to 369.\nUS Oil Rig Count Rises But \"Must Drop 150 For Oil Markets To Balance\" -- After falling for the first time this year last week, Baker Hughes reports US oil rig count rose once again (as perhaps Cindy impacted drilling last week) for the 23rd week in the last 24. *U.S. TOTAL RIG COUNT UP 12 TO 952 , BAKER HUGHES SAYS. This week saw a resurgence in US crude production (as Cindy's effects wear off)...This is the highest Lower 48 production since Aug 2015... And it is that production spike that poured coled water on the short-lived rally after DOE showed inventories dropping. However, as OilPrice.com's Tsvetana Paraskova notes, the rig count needs to drop drastically further if any equilibrium in the global oil market is possible... Analysts and investors have been growing increasingly concerned that the OPEC-led production cuts would not be enough to bring the oil market back to balance, and now one investment bank, Morgan Stanley, is saying that if the market stands any chance of rebalancing next year, U.S. shale possibly needs to drop around 150 rigs.\u201cIf OPEC doesn\u2019t balance the market, the oil price will have to force it somewhere else, most likely in U.S. shale. For a chance of a balanced market in 2018, the U.S. rig count can no longer grow and possibly needs to contract ~150 rigs. Given current break-evens, this requires WTI between $46-50,\u201d Morgan Stanley analysts said in a research report on Thursday, as quoted by MarketWatch. According to Morgan Stanley, despite OPEC\u2019s cuts, global inventory levels are currently around the same high as they were last year.\nOil prices drop 3 percent on rising global supplies | Reuters: Oil prices settled nearly 3 percent lower on Friday as rising U.S. production as OPEC exports hit a 2017 high cast doubt over efforts by producers to curb global oversupply. Brent crude LCOc1 settled down $1.40, or 2.9 percent, at $46.71 a barrel, after falling to $46.28, its lowest in more than a week. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 finished $1.29, or 2.8 percent, lower at $44.23 a barrel, after trading as low as $43.78. Both benchmarks posted a sixth weekly decline in the past seven weeks with WTI down 3.9 percent on the week and Brent off 2.5 percent. \"The stream of relentless supply continues,\" said Matt Smith, director of commodity research at Clipperdata. He said OPEC exports were 2 million barrels per day (bpd)higher in June than in 2016, despite of an extension of a 1.8 million bpd production cut deal led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. \"We've seen exports last month from OPEC much stronger than they were in April and May, seemingly indifferent to the OPEC production cut deal,\" Smith said. Reuters oil data showed OPEC production is now at the highest level this year.\nOil prices drop to lowest finish in more than two weeks - Oil prices ended sharply lower Friday to tally a loss of nearly 4% for the week, as a rise in U.S. crude production and a weekly climb in oil rigs provoked concerns that OPEC-led efforts to bring balance the market are doomed. The number of active U.S. oil rigs climbed by 7 to 763 rigs this week, according to data from Baker Hughes released Friday. The data contradicted some expectations that the rig count would continue to fall, following the previous week\u2019s retreat, which marked the first decline since January. That combined with the weekly rise in total U.S. crude production reported by U.S. Energy Department Administration Thursday to pull benchmark U.S. oil prices toward their lowest finish in nearly two weeks. August West Texas Intermediate crude tumbled $1.29, or 2.8%, to settle at $44.23 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That was the lowest finish since June 26, according to FactSet data. For the week, prices were down roughly 3.9% to mark their sixth such loss in seven weeks. September Brent on London\u2019s ICE Futures exchange, dropped $1.40, or 2.9%, to $46.71 a barrel, with the contract about 4.2% lower on the week. \u201cNo surprise that more rigs were added this week, and it would take a prolonged period of $35 to $40 per barrel prices to really put the brakes on this,\u201d Richard Hastings, macro strategist at Seaport Global Securities, told MarketWatch. On Thursday, the EIA reported that crude levels in U.S. storage fell by 6.3 million barrels in the week ended June 30, but total domestic production also edged up by 88,000 barrels to 9.338 million barrels a day.Hastings said the rebound in U.S. crude production last week is a key reason why oil prices headed lower Friday. \u201cSome observers maybe thought the big decline in production in the EIA data two weeks ago was all about low prices ruining the production party,\u201d he said. \u201cThat might be the case in a few months from now, assuming we continue to see very low $40s.\u201d But \u201ccontinued news that auto makers are swapping into EVs and hybrids only, and the news from France regarding the gradual phasing out of internal combustion engines should not be underestimated,\u201d said Hastings.\nAnalysis: Russian oil producers may abandon restraint if prices stay low -- Despite Russia being a leading member of the OPEC/non-OPEC production cut coalition, its producers face significant uncertainty as to whether participation will continue to be profitable and provide the impetus they need to keep their crude output restrained. Lower-than-expected oil prices and a stronger-than-expected ruble, coupled with seasonal factors and a hike in drilling rates in spring, are posing a significant likelihood of output increases toward the end of the year, which could lead to a lower compliance level by Russia overall with its obligations under the production cut deal that was extended in May to the end of March 2018. Russia achieved its target of reducing crude output by 300,000 b/d in late April, and maintained compliance at slightly above 100% in May and June, according to data from the energy ministry. So far, the production cut has had no major impact on oil producers' financial operations as they have mainly been reducing output from less profitable wells and increasing output from more profitable reservoirs. Due to seasonal factors, however, Russia usually produces less crude at the start of the year and gradually increases production toward the end of the year. Therefore, questions remain as to whether oil producers will be able to fulfill their cut obligations later in the year. Over the last 12 years, average daily output has typically risen by around 170,000 b/d from April to October, according to calculations by Sberbank CIB analysts. The task could be complicated further by a rise in drilling operations seen this spring, after a significant drop in February, which may result in an increase in output at the end of the year. In April, production drilling jumped by 9.8% year on year, contributing to a 6.1% increase for the first four months of the year, and drilling volumes in the next couple of months could be an indicator of the potential output dynamic later in 2017.\nShips Exporting Iranian Oil Go Dark, Raising Sanctions Red Flags - Fox - Ships chartered by two oil traders responsible for a significant share of Iran's fuel exports last year failed to transmit their location and the origin of their cargo -- red flags for governments seeking evidence of evasion of sanctions on Tehran. Continue Reading Below The ships' radio-signal tracking systems were often not in use and occasionally indicated the ships had sailed from countries other than Iran, a Wall Street Journal investigation found. The U.S. government is analyzing movements of ships in the Persian Gulf for any attempts to circumvent bans on funding Iran's weapons programs or clearing payments for Iranian oil through the U.S. financial system, a U.S. official said. U.S. officials said they weren't familiar with the particular shipments identified by the Journal. This scrutiny come amid uncertainty in the U.S. about the future of the 2015 multinational agreement in which Iran pledged to scale back its nuclear program in return for the lifting of most international sanctions. President Donald Trump has cast doubt on whether his administration will continue to support his predecessor's commitment to the deal. U.S. officials said the White House is reviewing its Iran policy and considering stiffer measures. Shortly after Mr. Trump took office, the administration imposed new sanctions related to Iran's defense and ballistic-missile programs. While the nuclear agreement lifted many obstacles to doing business with Iran, the U.S. maintains sanctions that make it difficult to trade Iranian oil. A ban on clearing payments through the U.S. financial system hinders trade because oil is mostly bought and sold in dollars. The U.S. also prohibits doing business with blacklisted entities including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a military division that is dominant in Iran's economy.\nOPEC June crude oil output 32.49 mil b/d, up 220,000 b/d from May: Platts survey -- OPEC's crude oil production has risen 500,000 b/d in the last two months, as the continued recoveries of Nigeria and Libya pushed the bloc's output to 32.49 million b/d, according to the latest S&P Global Platts OPEC survey released July 6.The June output figure, an increase of 220,000 b/d from May, is a six-month high for the organization, complicating its efforts to hasten the oil market's rebalancing through production cuts that went into force January 1. The production rises in Libya and Nigeria, which were exempted from the agreement as they recovered from militancy, have sent the organization's collective output almost 600,000 b/d above its stated ceiling of around 31.9 million b/d when new member Equatorial Guinea is added in and suspended member Indonesia is subtracted. This comes even as compliance among OPEC's 12 countries with quotas under the agreement remains robust at 116%, according to an average of January through June production, as seven countries led by largest member Saudi Arabia have cut more than required. Saudi Arabia saw its output rise in the month to 9.97 million b/d, according to the survey, as the kingdom's crude exports rose significantly and the onset of summer drove domestic consumption of oil to power air conditioning. But that is still far below its quota under the deal of 10.06 million b/d. Second largest member Iraq grew production slightly to 4.45 million b/d, remaining the least compliant country in terms of output above its quota, which is 4.35 million b/d. Iran, OPEC's third largest producer, also saw a slight increase in output to 3.8 million b/d, right at its quota under the deal.\nDon\u2019t Hold Your Breath For Deeper OPEC Cuts - According to Reuters data, OPEC exports jumped again in June, the second consecutive month of rising exports. Everyone tends to pay attention to the production data, but the volume of exports is arguably much more important. Reuters says that OPEC\u2019s oil exports rose to 25.92 million barrels per day (mb/d) in June, an increase of 450,000 bpd from May. More importantly, OPEC\u2019s exports are actually 1.9 mb/d higher today than they were a year ago, despite the highly-touted compliance rate with the collective production cuts. Reuters columnist Clyde Russell calls OPEC\u2019s efforts to balance the oil market \u201can exercise in self-deception.\u201d It appears that OPEC is exporting just as much oil as it was before the November deal was announced, according to a Reuters analysis of oil tanker data. The UAE, for example, exported 2.8 mb/d in the first six months of 2017, higher than the 2.52 mb/d the country averaged in the same period a year earlier. Iran too is exporting more than last year. Then, of course, there are the countries exempted from the deal \u2013 Libya and Nigeria \u2013 where exports are rising quickly. Libya\u2019s exports only averaged 243,000 bpd in the first half of 2016, a figure that doubled to 553,000 bpd this year. Libya\u2019s production recently topped 1 mb/d, so its exports are surely set to rise further.Ultimately, this means that OPEC\u2019s oil exports are not all that different from last year\u2019s figures even though it has claimed success with the collective cuts. That raises the question about whether or not OPEC should make deeper cuts, an approach that a growing number of analysts say is needed to balance the market. And as Bloombergrecently noted, another cut would be consistent with OPEC\u2019s own history. In the past, OPEC conducted multiple cuts over a short period of time, tweaking their output levels in order to achieve a targeted outcome. However, the one major reason why a follow-up cut would be more difficult is the presence of rapid-response U.S. shale. Shale drillers have already brought back a lot of production since last year, so deeper cuts could simply open up more room for them. While some analysts are pointing to the possibility of shale production starting to slow, that would support the notion that the industry responds very quickly to changing market dynamics. That responsiveness takes away some leverage from OPEC and undercuts the rationale for steeper cuts.\nSaudi GDP falls for first time since financial crisis as oil output cut | Reuters: Saudi Arabia's gross domestic product shrank from a year earlier in the first quarter of 2017 for the first time since the global financial crisis, but the private sector strengthened gradually, official data showed on Friday. GDP, adjusted for inflation, shrank 0.5 percent year-on-year between January and March, its first fall since 2009. That was almost entirely because of a 2.3 percent contraction in the oil sector, as Saudi Arabia cut its crude output under a global deal among producing countries to prop up prices. The non-oil government sector of the economy shrank 0.1 percent, showing Riyadh continued to keep a tight rein on state spending as it tried to cut a big budget deficit caused by low oil prices. But the non-oil private sector grew 0.9 percent, accelerating from a revised 0.5 percent in the fourth quarter of last year. It was the fastest private sector expansion since the fourth quarter of 2015. Private businesses have been hit hard by government austerity measures, including higher domestic energy prices and delays in the government paying its debts to companies. Late last year, however, Riyadh began settling its debts more promptly, boosting the private sector. The outlook for growth in the rest of this year is murky. In recent weeks Riyadh has eased its austerity drive slightly, restoring financial allowances to public sector employees, and this should help consumption slightly.Also, the government plans to introduce a 5 percent value-added tax at the start of 2018, so there may be a consumption mini-boom in the preceding months as Saudis make big-ticket purchases to avoid the tax. But some austerity steps are going ahead this year, such as higher residence fees for expatriates, who make up about a third of the population. Also, the oil output deal extends through the end of 2017, so the oil sector will continue to drag on growth.\nInside Saudi Arabia\u2019s Big Bet on Plastics - Under a tent in the Saudi desert, Ziad Al-Labban\u2019s showing off his vision for the world\u2019s largest oil supplier\u2014and it looks like an Ikea store. Al-Labban has spent his career helping Saudi Aramco meet about 10 percent of global crude demand, but right now all he wants to talk about are all the petrochemicals used in the modern home he\u2019s replicated at Sadara, the sprawling new $20 billion complex he runs in the industrial hub of Jubail. The mattress in the bedroom, the plates in the kitchen, even the Chevrolet Caprice in the driveway\u2014he\u2019s too excited reeling off the vast array of products enhanced by his chemicals to notice the scorching heat. At 46 degrees Celsius (115 Fahrenheit), it\u2019s way hotter than most places have ever been. \u201cDo you see that plasma TV?\u201d \u201cWe will produce the chemical coating that goes into that screen.\u201d Al-Labban has managed Aramco units before, including in the U.S., but this one is like no other. Sadara, a venture with Dow Chemical Co., emblazons its website with \u201cGame Changer!\u201d for a reason. The facility\u2019s completion is key to the kingdom\u2019s efforts to diversify the economy, develop new industries and create jobs for millions of youth. It\u2019s the largest plant of its kind ever built in a single phase, taking more than 60,000 workers five years to assemble. Peak production is just weeks away, which is good news for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. With the economy flatlining and the budget strained, he\u2019s put next year\u2019s initial public offering of shares in Saudi Arabian Oil Co., as Aramco\u2019s formally known, at the center of his \u201cVision 2030\u201d blueprint for life after oil. Some royals expect a $2 trillion valuation, which would let them raise $100 billion by selling just 5 percent, though many analysts expect half that.\nMuhammed Bin Nayef Bin Abdulaziz Al Sa\u2019ud Confined To His Palace - In Jidda, according to the New York Times today. So the story about the now deposed 57-year old former Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and former Minister of the Interior, Muhammed bin Nayef (MbN), putting out a video supporting his own removal appears to be phony propaganda. The Saudis instead have been broadcasting a video of the new Crown Prince, 31-year old Muhammed bin Salman (MbS) kissing the hand of (MbN). Presumably he did that back in the day when MbN was the Crown Prince and MbS was his supposed loyal deputy. We have no video of MbN kissing the hand of MbS. As it is, the story also reports that when MbS\u2019s elevation was announced, MbN returned to his palace to find his guards replaced by ones loyal to his successor. He and his daughters have since been confined to the palace and also forbidden to leave the country, although the latter would seem to be impossible if they cannot leave the palace. MbN has been replaced as Minister of the Interior by his nephew, Muhammed bin Saud bin Nayef, whose father is governor of the Eastern Province. Reportedly US intelligence officials are \u201coutraged\u201d at this, having worked long and well with MbN, who was reportedly the key figure behind squashing al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia, He is viewed by these people as very competent, and his successor has apparently no experience at all in the area. Wonderful. But these people are constrained from speaking openly because of the clear support by President Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, of the elevation of MbS, as well as his aggressive warmongering in Yemen, against Qatar, and also against Iran Of course, we have also seen the spectacle of SecState Rex Tillerson repeatedly making it clear that he at least does not support the diplomatic and economic moves against Qatar. SecDef Mattis has laid lower on the matter, but has also made it clear that the US intends to maintain its major CENTCOM air base in Qatar and is engaging in actions such as selling Qatar fresh fighter jets that go completely against the Saudi-led move that has been pushed by the warmongering and irresponsible new Crown Prince, Muhammed bin Salman, so stupidly supported by our lunatic president.\nQatar Ready for Consequences of Blockade Showdown, Minister Says -- The Qatari government, under a Saudi-led blockade of its air, sea and land links, is unwilling to concede any demands that threaten its sovereignty or violate international law, said Foreign Minister Mohammed Al Thani. Qatari stocks fell. The small Gulf emirate is prepared to let pass the deadline for complying with 13 demands set down by the bloc, including shutting the Al Jazeera television network and cutting back ties with Iran, he said Saturday in Rome, where he met with his Italian counterpart.\u201cThere is no fear from our direction. We are ready to face the consequences,\u201d Al Thani said. \u201cThere is an international law that should be respected and not violated.\u201d Qatari stocks declined as the rift showed no sign of easing head of a crucial Monday deadline. The QE Index, which resumed trading after a one-week public holiday, lost 1.8 percent as of 9:48 a.m. in Doha, led by Industries Qatar QSC\u2019s 2.6 percent loss. Al Thani repeated that Qatar is willing to sit down and negotiate under the right circumstances. The ultimatum issued June 23 was made to be rejected, he said. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt severed commercial links with Qatar almost a month ago, saying they were isolating the sheikdom over what they see as its tolerant attitude to Iran and support for Islamist groups. The group\u2019s demands also include Qatar severing relations with the Muslim Brotherhood and ending Turkey\u2019s military presence in the country. Qatar was given 10 days to respond.\nOne Day Before The Saudi Ultimatum Expires, A Defiant Qatar Is \"Ready To Face The Consequences\" --Two days ago, when previewing the showdown in the Qatar \"diplomatic quagmire\", we reminded readers that \"Qatar only has until July 3 to comply with the 10-day ultimatum of 13 demands imposed by the Saudi-led bloc\", a list which the Saudis described as non-negotiable, with Riyadh's foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir saying Doha must \u201camend its behavior\u201d or \u201cremain isolated.\"Fast forward to just one day before the Saudi ultimatum expires, when Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed Al Thani said his nation is unwilling to concede to any demands that threaten its sovereignty or violate international law. The small but wealthy Gulf emirate said it wasprepared \"to let pass the deadline for complying with 13 demands set down by the bloc\", including shutting down Al Jazeera and cutting back ties with Iran, Al Thani said in Rome quoted by Bloomberg, where he met the Italian foreign minister. \u201cThere is no fear from our direction. We are ready to face the consequences,\u201d Al Thani said. \u201cThere is an international law that should be respected and not violated.\u201dAnd while Al Thani repeated that Qatar is willing to sit down and negotiate under the right circumstances, he repeated that the ultimatum issued June 23 was made to be rejected.As a reminder, nearly a month ago, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the U.A.E and Egypt severed commercial, diplomatic and financial links with Qatar saying they were isolating the sheikdom over what they see as its tolerant attitude to Iran and support for Islamist groups, which is ironic since Saudi Arabia is widely acknowledged as the world's premier supporter of offshore terrorism. The group\u2019s demands also include Qatar severing relations with the Muslim Brotherhood and ending Turkey\u2019s military presence in the country. On June 23, Qatar was given 10 days to respond.Meanwhile, not mincing his words, Al Thani accused the blockading nations - it's clear who he was referring to here - of themselves having ties to groups and individuals accused of terrorism.\u201cAs for the countries that accuse Qatar of financing terrorism, they have the same problems as Qatar, more so, they are on top of the list in that area,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are financial institutes in these countries involved in financing terrorist organization and financing terrorist operations in western countries.\u201d\nSaudi-Led Bloc Extends Qatar Deadline on Demands for 2 Days -- A Saudi-led coalition that has cut air, sea and land links with Qatar over accusations the country is supporting terrorism agreed to a two-day extension of its deadline for Qatar to meet its demands, the state-run Saudi Press Agency reported.The decision was made at the request of the emir of Kuwait, which has been acting as a mediator, Kuwait News Agency reported. Qatar would submit its official response to the demands to Kuwait on Monday, it said. The Saudi-led bloc will deliver a full response after a complete reading of the Qatari government\u2019s answer, Saudi Press Agency reported later.Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani on Saturday said his country wouldn\u2019t concede any demands that threaten its sovereignty or violate international law, and was prepared to let pass Monday\u2019s deadline for complying with the bloc\u2019s 13 demands. Those include shutting the Al Jazeera television network and cutting back ties with Iran.\u201cThere is no fear from our direction. We are ready to face the consequences,\u201d Al Thani said Saturday in Rome, where he met with his Italian counterpart. \u201cThere is an international law that should be respected and not violated.\u201dForeign ministers of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates are expected to meet on July 5 in Cairo to discuss the latest developments on relations with Qatar, the Egyptian foreign ministry said in an emailed statement. Al Thani repeated on Saturday that Qatar is willing to sit down and negotiate under the right circumstances. The ultimatum issued 10 days ago was made to be rejected, he said. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt severed commercial links with Qatar almost a month ago, saying they were isolating the sheikhdom over what they see as its tolerant attitude toward Iran and support for terrorist groups. The group\u2019s demands include Qatar severing relations with the Muslim Brotherhood and ending Turkey\u2019s military presence in the country.\nThe Palace Intrigue at the Heart of the Qatar Crisis -- Who is the real leader of Qatar? On paper, it is Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the 37-year-old son of Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, who abdicated in Tamim\u2019s favor in 2013. But the leaderships of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who have become involved in a messy diplomatic squabble with Qatar, think it is actually Sheikh Hamad, now known as the \u201cfather-emir,\u201d who is still pulling the strings. The truth could dictate the outcome of the Gulf crisis, where the United States is trying to broker an early settlement while Iran watches mischievously from the sidelines. There are a variety of judgments of who is really in control in Doha, none of which are particularly complimentary to the Al Thanis, the onetime desert tribe that number a mere few thousand but effectively own the world\u2019s third-largest reserves of natural gas. \u201cHamad dislikes the Emiratis and the Bahrainis, but completely loathes the Saudis\u201d was the opinion of a former diplomat who lived in Doha for several years, who insisted that the father is still the driver of Qatari diplomacy. The 65-year-old Hamad apparently takes a historical and \u201cintensely personal\u201d perspective. Hamad, in the judgment of a onetime insider, is \u201cforceful\u201d and \u201cdangerous.\u201d Those with a less intimate acquaintance with the Al Thani family take a more benign view. \u201cTamim is willful, but his father is a restraining force\u201d is the judgment of one European official involved in Qatar\u2019s 2022 hosting of the World Cup, which involved billions in infrastructure building on top of the alleged bribes paid to be chosen as a venue, estimated by a European intelligence agency at $180 million. Such an amount is almost pocket change for Doha. Qatar\u2019s gas has given it the highest gross domestic product per capita in the world. During his reign, Hamad leveraged that wealth to set up Al Jazeera, the region\u2019s first satellite television network, which dramatically increased Qatar\u2019s influence \u2014 while upsetting its neighbors because it provided a platform to opposition voices and troublesome preachers like Islamist cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi.\nBehind the Scenes at the Saudi-Qatari Pissing Contest - Saudi Arabia, with the bellicose support of President Trump, has launched a diplomatic and partial economic offensive against the ridiculously small state of Qatar and is dragging its allies, the United Arab Emirates in particular, into a potential major headache. You see the de facto capital of the Emirates is Abu Dhabi which uses Qatari natural gas to generate half of its electricity via the Qatar-Abu Dhabi-Oman pipeline. So if Qatar really felt threatened it would pull the plug, and at least for a month or so, challenge the very survival of Abu Dhabi, for how many Emiratis let alone expats would be able to last +40c/105f temperatures without electricity? The Emirates capital city would have to import Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) which it doesn\u2019t have the infrastructure prepared for as well as convert its electrical generators to LNG from natural gas, something that could take over a month to get up and running, no matter the $Billions the Emirates have to throw at the problem. So the Saudis picking a fight with their long time villains, the Qatari\u2019s, could crash the Emirates economy and put a serious strain on the so called \u201ccoalition of the willing\u201d, that is those still committed to the quagmire in Yemen and its assorted crimes, another source of strain between the two allies. The Emirates hate the Qatari\u2019s, not without reason, and we know that the Emirates foreign legion has been concocting nasty plans against them in league with a pro-Israel PR Hit Squad in the USA. Still, the Emirates are dependent on Qatari gas so the shit could really hit the fan if the young newly crowned Saudi Prince and de facto commander in chief steps over the line and provokes a Qatari response. Reality is the Emirates have much more serious trade relations with Iran than Qatar. Oman on the other hand, has even closer economic and political ties with its ancient fraternal brothers and sisters in the land of the Persians and the Saudi\u2019s aren\u2019t attacking the Omanis, so why the pissing match with Qatar?\nQatari minister cites 'aggression' as Gulf states consider sanctions --Qatar's Foreign Minister accused four Arab neighbors of \"clear aggression\" against his country as they met in Cairo to weigh further measures against a state they accuse of fostering terrorism in the region. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said charges cited by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt in cutting diplomatic and transport links a month ago \"were clearly designed to create anti-Qatar sentiment in the west\". \"Qatar continues to call for dialogue despite the violation of international laws and regulations, despite the separation of 12,000 families, despite the siege that is a clear aggression and an insult to all international treaties, bodies and jurisdictions,\" he told a meeting at London's Chatham House think-tank. The rift between Qatar and its Gulf neighbors has aroused deep concern among Western allies who see the region's ruling dynasties as key partners in energy and defense. Qatar has invested heavily in infrastructure projects in Western states and maintains close diplomatic collaboration with the United States over the conflict in Syria. \"Reading between the lines, the blockading countries were demanding that we have to surrender our sovereignty to end the siege, something which ... Qatar will never do,\" he said. As Sheikh Mohammed spoke, foreign ministers of the four states were meeting in Cairo to consider Qatar's response to 13 demands they have made in return for ending sanctions.The Arab countries have demanded Qatar curtail its support for the Muslim Brotherhood, shut down the pan-Arab al Jazeera TV channel, close down a Turkish military base and downgrade its ties with regional arch-rival Iran.\nQatar shows mettle, offers compromise as Gulf states prepare meeting - Qatar announced plans for a steep rise in Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) production capacity on Tuesday that suggested it was ready for a protracted dispute with Gulf neighbors, but Doha said it was doing all it could to reach agreement. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain were due to meet on Wednesday to decide whether to continue sanctions they imposed on Qatar on accusations it was aiding terrorism and courting regional rival Iran. Doha denies the charges and has submitted to mediator Kuwait replies to 13 demands that the gathering will consider. \"What Qatar has given in goodwill and good initiative for a constructive solution, based on dialogue, we believe should be sufficient (to show) we have carried out our duties from our side,\" Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani told a news conference in Doha. \"There is a lot of progress that has been made on that front (countering terrorism financing)... but of course there is always room for improvement,\" he said, describing the sanctions as illegal steps under the pretext of fighting terrorism. The three Gulf states and Egypt have severed diplomatic and transport ties with Doha in a dispute that has raised concern across the Middle East and beyond. Western states fear a lengthy dispute, besides threatening political instability, could upset supply chains in a region vital for energy supplies. German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel told the same Doha news conference he felt Qatar had shown restraint in the row which began on June 5 when the Gulf states severed diplomatic and transport ties. \"We hope others will respond in a similar spirit.\"\nQatar Blockade To Continue After Arab States Slam \"Negative\" Response To Ultimatum -- Foreign ministers from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain released statements following a meeting in Cairo on Wednesday, after the latest deadline they had set to Qatar expired on Tuesday night. The four Arab nations, locked in a diplomatic crisis with Qatar, dismissed Doha\u2019s response to their demands as \u201cnot serious\u201d and pledged to continue to keep the Gulf state under political and economic sanctions until it changes its policies. They also \u201cexpressed regret with regards to the negative response from Qatar, which showed complacency and non-seriousness to deal with the root of the problem and reconsider their policies and practices.\u201d Speaking to reporters, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri said that Qatar\u2019s response to the four Arab states\u2019 list of demands, which was passed on via intermediary Kuwait on Monday, was \u201cgenerally negative\u201d and failed to \u201clay the foundation for Qatar's reversal of the policies it pursues.\u201dHe added that Qatar\u2019s reply \"lacked content\", and that it was no \"longer possible to tolerate Qatari acts.\" Shukri also accused Qatar of failing \u201cto realize the gravity of the situation,\u201d according to AP.Separately, the Saudi Foreign Minister Adel bin Ahmed Al Jubeir says the alliance will weigh more measures against Qatar, and reserves the right to take action when appropriate.He also said that the Boycott will continue until Qatar changes policy, adding that it was no surprise that Iran is trying to get closer t o Qatar, while expressing hopes that Turkey will remain neutral.\nExclusive: Energy giants court Qatar for gas expansion role despite crisis | Reuters: The West's three biggest energy corporations are lobbying Qatar to take part in a huge expansion of its gas production, handing Doha an unintended but timely boost in its bitter dispute with Gulf Arab neighbors. The chief executives of ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell and France's Total all met the emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, in Qatar before it announced a plan on Tuesday to raise output of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by 30 percent. Company and industry sources told Reuters that the CEOs had expressed interest in helping Qatar with its ambition to produce 100 million tonnes of LNG annually - equivalent to a third of current global supplies - in the next five to seven years. The companies already have large investments in countries on both sides of the dispute, and are keen to remain neutral after Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt severed ties with Doha on June 5. Spokespeople from all three firms declined comment. However, a top executive from one energy major looking into expanding in Qatar said the huge business opportunity was worth the considerable political risk. \"There is only one policy here \u2013 you have to behave like a commercial corporation,\" the executive told Reuters. \"You have to make your choices purely economically and be Qatari in Qatar, Emirati in the Emirates.\" Energy sales have powered Qatar's rapid rise as a regional player since the late 1990s, and the oil majors' interest in the LNG expansion underline its longer-term economic muscle during the political row with its neighbors.\nThe Saudi-Qatar Spat \u2013 Qatar And Iran Are Winning \u2013 MbZ, MbS Lose Face -- The Saudi/UAE campaign against Qatar quickly turned into a mess. Qatar did not fold as had been expected. There was no plan B. The instigators of the plan have now to fear for their head. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Qatar have all build up and pamper extremists groups fighting in other countries. They supply money, weapons and political and media support to various kinds of murderous Takfiris. Unlike the other three, Qatar not only supported arch-conservative Salafists but also groups aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. The MB do not accept the primacy of the Arab absolute monarchs. They provide an alternative way of governing by adopting some democratic participation of the people. That makes them an imminent danger to the Saudis and other family dictatorships. In the view of the Saudis and the other three Qatar had to be reigned in. While its media arm Al-Jazeerah Arabic promotes the sectarian and anti-Iran positions the Saudis support, it also promotes the Muslim Brotherhood. That needed to be stopped. On June 5 the four countries launched a boycott and blockade of Qatar. Three weeks later they issued a list of demands to Qatar which could be summed up as \"surrender your sovereignty or else ...\". The \"offer\" was designed to be refused. It practically demanded total capitulation while threatening more sanctions and even war. As MoA predicted on June 7, two days after the spat started, Qatar did not fold. It has hundreds of billions in monetary reserves, international support from its liquefied gas customers and allies, and it secured supplies and support from Turkey and Iran. It simply did not response to the \"offer\" in time for the ultimatum's end. The Saudis blinked first. On Sunday the ultimatum was prolonged for two days. Yesterday Qatar responded with its own demands which were, like the \"offer\", designed to be refused. It also announced that it would increase its liquefied gas exports by a third which threatens to take market share and income away from the Saudis. It reminded the UAE that 80% of its electricity supplies depend on natural gas delivered from Qatar.Today the Saudis, the UAE, Egypt and Bahrain met to discuss further consequences and new measures against Qatar. The Gulf media predicted more sanctions. But the gang of four decided to do ... nothing:\nQatar Cash Crisis Looms As Interbank Rates Hit Record Highs --We warned previously that Qatar was running out of cash, and it appears that is very much the case as the cost of interbank borrowing (liquidity provision) hits a record high. To boost their hard currency reserves, Qatar banks are now offering a premium of as much as 100 basis points over LIBOR to attract dollars from regional banks, some 80 bps higher compared to the rate they offered prior to this crisis. And the soaring cost of interbanking liquidity provision suggests its not working... As Arqaam Capital analysts Jaap Meijer and Janany Vamadeva note in a recent report...A prolonged conflict between Qatar and its neighbors may leave the country\u2019s banking sector \"vulnerable\u201d because of its reliance on foreign funding. They reiterate underweight rating on the sector.Arqaam doesn\u2019t rule out renewed sanctions as Arab nations disappointed with Qatar\u2019s response to list of 13 demands, and notes that the Qatari banking sector is \"highly dependent on foreign funding (wholesale debt and deposits) with low operational relationships.\"The banking sector relies on foreign markets for 43% of its funding needs,with non-resident deposits making up 46%, interbank 43% and wholesale debt 11%.Qatar Islamic Bank has the highest share of funding coming from the Gulf Cooperation Council at 24%, Qatar National Bank the least at 5%, though has the highest dependency on foreign funding at 57%. As we noted previously, despite the spike in interbank rates, S&P is confident that Qatari banks are strong enough to survive the pullout of all Gulf money and then some. The ratings agency ran two hypothetical scenarios of capital flight, and concluded that Qatar\u2019s lenders could survive the withdrawal of all Gulf deposits plus a quarter of the remaining foreign funds the banks keep. Still, that did not prevent S&P from lowering Qatar\u2019s long-term rating by one level to AA- last week.\nQatar crisis: Saudi-led bloc vows new measures - BBC News: The four Arab states leading a boycott against Qatar have condemned its rejection of their demands and warned of unspecified new measures against it. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates said Doha was intent on continuing a \"policy aimed at destabilising security in the region\". New measures would be enacted in an \"appropriate and timely manner\". They cut links with Qatar in June over its alleged support of terrorism and ties with Iran. It denies wrongdoing. The oil- and gas-rich nation was presented with a list of demands, including shutting down the Al Jazeera news network, closing a Turkish military base, cutting ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, and downgrading relations with Tehran. Qatar vigorously denied supporting terrorism, and insisted it would not agree to any measures that threatened its sovereignty or violated international law. The air, sea and land restrictions have caused turmoil in the country, which is dependent on imports to meet the basic needs of its population of 2.7 million. In a joint statement issued late on Thursday, the four countries expressed their \"deep surprise over the unjustified refusal by the Qatari government to the legitimate list and logical demands\" aimed at fighting terrorism, combating extremism and safeguarding Arab and international security. They stressed that the list of demands was now \"null and void\" and vowed to take further \"political, economic and legal measures\" in a manner that \"preserves their rights, security and stability towards a hostile Qatari government policy\".\nSaudis Are After the Muslim Brotherhood, and Turkey\u2019s in the Way -- A crisis over the Gulf state of Qatar had U.S. allies at loggerheads. More than that, it showed that there aren\u2019t just two power blocs in the region. There are at least three. An alliance led by Saudi Arabia apparently enjoys Trump\u2019s full support. Iran heads a coalition of America\u2019s enemies. But a third bloc, looser and harder to classify, is at the heart of the dispute in the world\u2019s oil repository. It includes Qatar, which hosts a major U.S. military base; Turkey, a NATO member; and the stateless, beleaguered yet resilient group that both nations support: the Muslim Brotherhood. The 90-year-old Islamist movement has been in the crosshairs of the Saudis and other Gulf monarchies since the Arab revolts at the start of this decade, when it briefly held power after winning elections in Egypt, and seemed set to repeat the feat elsewhere. \u201cThey see the Brotherhood as the only organized, transnational movement that offers a different model of political activity and legitimacy,\u201d said Shadi Hamid, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution who worked at the think-tank\u2019s Doha center. \u201cThey see that as a threat. That\u2019s why the Muslim Brotherhood is so divisive. Because it captures this fundamental divide over the Arab Spring.\u201d That agenda was apparent in the demands presented to Qatar. Placed under a partial blockade, the small, gas-rich nation was told to cut back ties with Iran and end its alleged support for al-Qaeda and Islamic State, the groups that top most Western terror lists. But it was also ordered to stop supporting the Brotherhood, which Western countries don\u2019t classify as terrorist; to shut down the Brotherhood-friendly broadcaster Al Jazeera; and to kick Turkish troops out of their new base in Qatar.\nTurkey Warns It's Ready For Military Intervention In Syria, Accuses US Of Creating A \"Terrorist Army\" --Speaking in an interview with France 24, in which Turkish president Recep Erdogan lashed out at Germany for not allowing him to address the Turkish community there and preventing him from bringing his bodyguards to the upcoming G20 meeting in Hamburg, Erdogan warned that Turkey is ready to intervene militarily in north Syria to repel Syrian Kurdish forces there, forces which recall are armed and supported by the US but are seen as a terrorist organisation by Turkey. He also said that to avoid military intervention, a de-escalation zone could soon be established by Turkish and Russian troops in the region. Separately, Turkey's deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told Reuters on Wednesday that Turkish military preparations in northwest Syria are \"legitimate measures against a threat from Kurdish forces in the Afrin region, and Turkey will retaliate against any hostile move.\" He added in an interview that \"This is not a declaration of war. We are making preparations against potential threats\" adding that \"It's ... a legitimate measure so that we can protect our independence. We cannot remain silent against those sending missiles from Afrin.\" Kurtulmus was responding to the head of the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia, who told Reuters that Turkish military deployments near Kurdish-held areas of northwestern Syria were a declaration of war which could trigger clashes within days. Adding to the absurdity of the situation, last month the Turkish defence ministry said that the Pentagon had sought to give assurances that Washington would retrieve weapons provided to the YPG after Islamic State fighters were defeated. Clearly this was a ludicrous assertion and Turkey slammed it as such: \"There has never been an incident where a group in the Middle East has been armed, and they returned the weapons,\" Kurtulmus said. The United States \"have formed more than a terrorist organization there, they formed a small-scale army.\" It will hardly be the first time the US has formed a terrorist organization.\nRussia promises to respond should the US attack Syria - Fort Russ: Russia will respond adequately and in proportion if the US implement its threats against Damascus for allegedly preparing a chemical attack, as stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. \"I very much hope that this time the United States will be guided by the need to really protect the non-proliferation of chemical weapons and not to speculate on the alleged intelligence, which comes from \"secret sources\". They cannot create pretexts for another blow to the forces of the Syrian army\"- Lavrov said. The Minister confirmed that, during the recent telephone conversation between US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the US has information about the upcoming Damascus chemical attack. Earlier, Washington threatened Syrian President Bashar Assad, in the case of such an attack, that he will pay a high price.\nRussia may deploy military in Syrian buffer zones within weeks | Reuters: Russia may deploy its military to police the borders of planned de-escalation zones in Syria within two to three weeks after finalizing an agreement with Turkey and Iran, Russian negotiator Alexander Lavrentyev said on Tuesday. Moscow hopes to sign the final documents with Ankara and Tehran on Wednesday, he told reporters after a series of meetings in the Kazakh capital, Astana. Russia and Iran, which back President Bashar Assad's government, and Turkey, which supports some of the rebels, agreed in principle to create four \"de-escalation zones\" in Syria in a previous round of talks in May, but put off a planned June meeting where they were supposed to work out the details. Since the May agreement was announced, the rebel-held stronghold of Idlib province in the northwest of Syria has been mostly calm. But fighting has continued on other frontlines in western Syria, including Eastern Ghouta of Damascus and the southwestern city of Deraa, where government forces and their allies are trying to crush remaining pockets of rebellion. Lavrentyev told reporters that Moscow and its partners were still discussing detailed maps and other conditions related to the Idlib and southern zones, while the borders of two other zones, in Homs province and near Damascus, had been agreed. \"Overall, (the agreement) provides for the presence of Russian military police in the buffer zones, but once again this matter has not been agreed yet,\" he said. \"Depending on when the documents on safe zones are signed, I think one should expect concrete measures on the deployment of forces within 2-3 weeks.\"\nTillerson: Russia Should Decide Assad's Fate - And so, three months after the US State Department famously flip-flopped, when first at the end of March Rex Tillerson said at a news conference that \u201cthe longer term status of President Assad will be decided by the Syrian people\" adding that \"our priority is no longer to sit and focus on getting Assad out\" only to follow one week later with Tillerson's warning to Russia that \"coalition steps are underway to remove Assad\" which in turn segued into the first US attack on Syrian soil with the launch of no less than 59 cruise missiles, the US has done it again and according to Foreign Policy, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has once again told the U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres that the fate of Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad now lies in the hands of Russia, and that the Trump administration\u2019s priority is limited to defeating the Islamic State. The striking reversal was announced during a private State Department meeting last week, according to three diplomatic sources cited by FP.And, as FP adds, \"the remarks offer the latest stop on a bumpy U.S. policy ride that has left international observers with a case of diplomatic whiplash as they try to figure out whether the Trump administration will insist that Assad step down from power. Nearly three months ago, Tillerson had insisted that Assad would have to leave office because of his alleged use of chemical weapons.\" And a startling admission by the website owned by the Slate Group: Tillerson\u2019s position reflects a recognition that Syria\u2019s government, backed by Russia and Iran, is emerging as the likely political victor in the country\u2019s six year long civil war. It also marks a further retreat from the 2012 U.N.-brokered Geneva Communique \u2014 signed by Russia, the United States, and other key powers \u2014 which called for the establishment of a transitional government with members of the regime and the opposition. The Geneva pact, according to the Obama administration and other Western allies, was to result in Assad\u2019s departure from power.\nOver 500,000 Syrian Refugees Return To Government-Controlled Areas Of Syria --Crucial to the Western narrative of the Syrian conflict is the assertion that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a brutal dictator who has taken to killing his own people over the course of Syria\u2019s six-year-long conflict. This allegation has been the crux of the \u201chumanitarian\u201d justification for foreign military intervention in Syria that would seek to depose Assad\u2019s government, a justification frequently used by the U.S. and its allies prior to an invasion or the toppling of an extant regime.While this narrative has been pervasive in media coverage of the Syrian conflict, it is now being debunked by the very Syrian refugees that the media purported were fleeing Assad in the first place. According to a recent statement from Andrej Mahecic, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, an estimated 440,000 displaced Syrians who remained in the country have returned to their homes since the year began. In addition, 31,000 refugees in neighboring countries also returned to Syria in the first half of the year, with 260,000 having returned to Syria from other nations since 2015.UN Refugee Agency: Almost 500,000 Syrian refugees have returned home. Find out why: https://t.co/3N2xicy92z #UNHCR #standwithrefugees\u2014 UNA-USA San Diego (@UNASanDiego) July 1, 2017 Though Mahecic noted that these refugees represent only a \u201cfraction\u201d of the five million Syrian refugees living in neighboring countries, what is notable is that nearly all of those who have decided to come back are settling in areas of Syria controlled by the government or where the Syrian government has made major territorial gains against ISIS and US-backed militants like al-Nusra Front in recent months \u2013 namely Aleppo, Hama, Homs and Damascus.\nSyrian Army Set To Recapture Oil Field Near Palmyra From ISIS - Syria\u2019s army is advancing against ISIS militants in the central Homs province, and has encircled terrorists in the al-Hael oil field near the ancient city of Palmyra, Syrian state news agency SANA reported on Wednesday. Army units are currently less than a mile away from the al-Hael oil field, and are closing in on ISIS militants in the field from the west, south, and southeast, SANA quoted a military source as saying. Separately, Syrian Army forces have targeted ISIS hideouts west of the eastern city of Deir Ezzor, killing many terrorists. Last month, the army recaptured the Ark oil field, some 25 miles northeast of Palmyra, from the Islamic State terrorists. The Ark region is of strategic importance to Syria\u2019s economy as it has many oil wells, according to a field commander who spoke to SANA then. On the larger front, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed by a US-led coalition, are about to make ISIS give up its de facto \u2018capital\u2019 of Raqqa, in northern Syria. The terrorists claimed Raqqa as their \u2018capital\u2019 three years ago, but now the US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab forces is close to driving ISIS out of Raqqa as the Islamist militants are in retreat in both Syria and Iraq. Coalition forces supported the SDF advance into the most heavily fortified portion of Raqqa, by opening two small gaps in the Rafiqah Wall that surrounds the old city, the U.S. Department of Defense said on Tuesday, quoting Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve officials.\nChina Joins Russia In Calling For Official Probe Into Use Of Chemical Weapons In Syria -- If there was any confusion whether in addition to Moscow, Beijing was also behind Assad, today all doubts were laid to rest when both Russia and China called on all involved parties \"to support the efforts of the OPCW and the United Nations in investigating the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria,\" according to a joint statement by Russian and Chinese leaders on the current international situation posted on Kremlin website on Tuesday, following a meeting between Putin and China's president Xi Jinping. \"The sides emphasize that in matters of chemical weapons in Syria, all parties, with respect to Syrian sovereignty, must support the efforts of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons [OPCW] and relevant UN structures to conduct an independent and comprehensive investigation in order to obtain irrefutable evidence, establish genuine circumstances and draw conclusions that are capable of withstanding the verification by facts and time.\" Additionally, in the document Russia and China both \"strongly condemn any use of chemical weapons anywhere and by anyone. The statement came days after the White House claimed last week that a new attack involving chemical weapons was being prepared by the Syrian government, however, failed to and declined to present any evidence. Washington vowed to make Syrian authorities \"pay a heavy price\" in case of chemical weapons use. Commenting on the White House's statement, the Kremlin said that it considers US threats against Syrian legitimate leadership to be \"unacceptable.\" Damascus also denied the information. Furthermore, after a bilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, the two sides called for respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria, as well as for a political solution to the Arab country's crisis through an inclusive dialogue.\n5 Maps That Explain The Modern Middle East -- If geopolitics studies how nations behave, then the nation is singularly important. Nation-states are the defining feature of the modern political era. They give people a collective identity and a pride of place\u2026 even when their borders are artificially drawn, as they were in the Middle East. Constantly in conflict with the notion of nationalism, especially in such a volatile region, are transnational issues. These are issues like religion and ethnicity that cannot be contained by a country\u2019s borders. Arab nation-states are now failing in the Middle East, and though their failure is primarily due to their governments\u2019 inability to create viable political economies, transnational issues\u2014especially the competition between the Sunni and Shiite sects of Islam, as well as the struggle within the Sunni Arab realm\u2014are expediting the process. (see maps)\nThe fall of Mosul is a defeat for Isis, but it remains a deadly force | The Independent: The battle for Mosul is a ferocious struggle that has now been going on for 256 days, or two months longer than the battle of Stalingrad. The fighting between Iraqi government forces and Isis is much smaller in scale than in Russia 75 years ago, but is comparable in its savagery and the importance with which both sides regard the outcome of the battle. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is declaring \u201cthe end of the Isis state-let\u201d as Iraqi forces capture the ruins of the al-Nuri mosque where Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who may himself be dead, declared the caliphate three years ago. Isis wanted to avoid the humiliation of seeing the Iraqi flag replacing their own colours on the top of the famous minaret. Wars in Iraq have seen many exaggerated declarations of victory since the US-led invasion in 2003, but this one has more substance than most, even if it is a little premature. Isis fighters still hold part of the Old City of Mosul where the ancient close-packed housing and narrow alleyways are ideal for their style of making war.Whatever the precise moment when the last Isis resistance is extinguished in the city, the Islamic State as a geographical unit in northern Iraq and western Syria is being smashed up. It still holds some big enclaves in the Tigris and Euphrates valleys, but it has lost almost its urban centres aside from Raqqa in Syria and Tal Afar west of Mosul. Isis is rooted in the five or six million strong Sunni Arab community in Iraq which has endured devastating losses since it lost power with the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. There is no doubt about the importance of the victory won by the Iraqi government forces. It could not have happened without the devastating US-led air strikes, but it was Iraqi ground troops which were decisive in defeating a fanatical but militarily skilful enemy which inflicted heavy losses on them.\nDramatic Drone Footage Shows What Mosul Looks Like After 8 Months Of Fighting -- Despite being outnumbered 15-1, ISIS forces swiftly captured the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2014, before declaring their monstrous caliphate. It was the victory that put them on the map, and it left hundreds of thousands of refugees in its wake. But three years later, Iraqi forces have nearly finished retaking the city, and are in the process of mopping up the few remaining ISIS fighters who are clinging to several acres of territory along the Tigris river. It\u2019s taken 8 months of near constant fighting, but the city of Mosul, which was once the largest city ruled by ISIS, has nearly fallen. So what does a city look like after being fought over for nearly a year? Recently released drone footage has revealed the extent of the damage, most notably the destruction of the Grand Al-Nuri Mosque, which used to look like this: But now looks like this after ISIS detonated the building just before it could be captured by Iraqi forces:As you can see however, the rest of the city looks pretty bleak as well. That\u2019s because the population has declined from roughly 1,800,000 people to 664,000 people over the past three years. Take note. This is what a city really looks like when the SHTF.\nIslamic State fights fiercely in shrinking Iraqi and Syrian strongholds | Reuters: Western-backed forces edged into the final redoubts of the two capitals of Islamic State's self-declared caliphate in Iraq and Syria on Tuesday, hampered by fierce resistance from the militants and the presence of human shields. Iraqi commanders have predicted final victory in Mosul this week after a grinding eight-month assault on the once two-million-strong city pushed Islamic State into a rectangle no more than 300 by 500 meters beside the Tigris river. In Raqqa, Islamic State's headquarters in northern Syria from where it plotted attacks around the world, U.S.-backed militia were fighting inside the historic Old City after coalition air strikes breached its walls in two places. Victory over the hardline militants in both cities would mark the effective end of the three-year-old caliphate, although a few towns and large rural areas of Iraq and Syria remain under their control. But their centers are a maze of narrow alleyways packed with civilians and planted with multiple explosive devices by the militants, who are also using drones and suicide bombings. \"The presence of civilians has affected the troops' advance a lot,\" said a commander in Mosul from the Rapid Response Division, an elite Interior Ministry unit, estimating there were 10,000 civilians, including some brought in as human shields. Iraqi commanders called in air strikes on targets just 50 meters away from them and fighting got close enough at one point for the militants to throw a hand grenade at the troops.\nFacing defeat in Mosul, Islamic State mounts diversionary attack to the south | Reuters: Islamic State militants attacked a village south of Mosul, killing several people including two journalists, even as they were about to lose their last redoubt in the city to an Iraqi military onslaught, security sources said on Friday. The assault on Imam Gharbi village appeared to be the sort of diversionary, guerrilla-style strike Islamic State is expected to employ as U.S.-backed Iraqi forces regain control over cities IS captured in a shock 2014 offensive. Security sources said IS insurgents had infiltrated Imam Gharbi, some 70 km (44 miles) south of Mosul on the western bank of the Tigris river, on Wednesday evening from a pocket of territory still under their control on the eastern bank. Two Iraqi journalists were reported killed and two others wounded as they covered the security forces' counter-attack to take back the village on Friday. An unknown number of civilians and military were also killed or wounded. The fighting forced the U.N.-affiliated International Organization for Migration to suspend relief operations at two sites where it houses nearly 80,000 people near Qayyara, just north of Imam Gharbi, a U.N. statement said. With water trucks no longer able to reach the sites, the displaced people could run short of water at a time of midsummer temperatures well over 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit), it said.\nAt least 1,500 people killed by cholera in Yemen: WHO - Al Jazeera -- The World Health Organization (WHO) says that cholera outbreak in Yemen has claimed 1,500 lives and sickened about 246,000 people since April.The WHO representative in Yemen, Nevio Zagaria, said in a news conference on Saturday in the Yemeni capital Sanaa that the epidemic has hit 21 provinces out of Yemen's 22 provinces, stressing that the number of suspected cholera cases has multiplied tenfold in the last two months. UNICEF's acting representative Sherin Varkey, for his part, said a quarter of the fatalities from the outbreak were children. The death toll rose from 1,300 announced two weeks ago by WHO, which put the number of suspected cases at over 200,000 at the time and said that number is growing by 5,000 a day. UN agencies have repeatedly warned that the three-year-long fighting in Yemen had destroyed the country's health sector, making it difficult to deal with the epidemic. Impoverished Yemen has remained in a state of civil war since 2014, when Houthi rebels overran much of the country, including Sanaa.\nMigrants in Libya are being rounded up and sold into slavery, UN says - After leaving everything they know behind to risk their lives in search of a better life, hundreds of African migrants are being forced into a system of \"modern slavery\" in Libya, a United Nations spokesman says. \"Facing all those risks and dangers in a foreign country, you can imagine that you are trying to do whatever you can just to survive yourself and send some money back home and support your family \u2014 and you end up with the hands of those smugglers, and you end up working for free,\" Othman Belbeisi, head of the UN International Organization for Migration's (IOM) Libya mission, told As It Happens host Carol Off. The IOM released a report on Tuesday detailing the system in which hundreds of people \u2014 many from Nigeria, Senegal and Gambia \u2014 are either rounded up in the streets by armed groups, or held captive by the very smugglers who brought them to the country in the first place.The IOM interviewed dozens of West Africans who recounted being sold in garages and car parks in the southern city of Sabha, one of Libya's main migrant smuggling hubs. The trade mostly targets men, Belbeisi said, but the IOM has also heard stories of women being sold into sexual slavery. The stories are all different, he said, but the common thread in all of them is violence and hunger.",

        "title": "Fraternal Thoughts: Hazing and Miss America",
        "raw_content": "Hazing and Miss America\nI\u2019m breaking my own rule of commenting on something before all the facts are out. Because it\u2019s National Hazing Prevention Week, and this story is very timely.\nMiss America is in some hot water.\nI\u2019m not a big fan or supporter of the Miss America pageant, and think it\u2019s kinda silly. But, it\u2019s an institution in our culture and has a strong following.\nIt was revealed earlier in the week that the recent winner of Miss America - Kira Kazantsev\n\u2013 was removed from her sorority (Alpha Phi at Hofstra) because of some behavior related to hazing. She claims she was removed for an inappropriate joke about hazing that was always intended to be only a joke.\nShe admits she hazed pledges in her sorority, but to a \u201clesser\u201d extent than some media reports. She was also hazed, and admits that it was a part of the culture of the organization (and the entire Greek community at Hofstra).\nIt does appear to me that she still has some learning to do when it comes to the impact of hazing and why it should never be tolerated, no matter how severe.\nNow, what I\u2019ve seen in social media (and from many professionals in fraternity and sorority life) is a take-down of this young woman for these actions. The internet outrage machine is calling for her crown.\nLet\u2019s remember some key things.\nThere are people who work in the fraternity and sorority industry who were hazed, and hazed pledges themselves. There are speakers and writers who oppose hazing now because of their own stories of falling victim to a culture of hazing. You\u2019re reading one right now.\nThe line that connects all of these stories is regret. And realization. Realization that hazing is not harmless fun, but can be damaging instead. Realization that hazing eats away at a fraternity culture and creates the very apathy it supposedly solves. This realization may come through quiet reflection, or a loud embarrassing spectacle. This realization may come at age 18, or at age 23, or much later.\nThere is an educational journey in regards to hazing and that is why events like National Hazing Prevention Week exist. We accept that convincing undergrads who are currently living in a hazing culture to change is hard and time-consuming work.\nAnd now we have a very public situation in which a young woman is going through that same education (and yes, sometimes it has to put right in front of one\u2019s face in order for it to click), and the public reaction doesn't seem very patient. True \u2013 she was a hazer. True \u2013 she made big mistakes. Perhaps true \u2013 her integrity isn\u2019t as strong as advertised.\nLet\u2019s remember that hazing \u2013 namely in high school and college \u2013 is largely an act committed by young people who are ignorant of the impact (less so than a decade ago, but still ignorant). Obviously the goal is for hazing never to occur. But where it does, most involved are not depraved or willfully malevolent. Most just don\u2019t get it, but can get it, and that\u2019s where we do our work. We are an industry of educators, are we not?\nMaybe that calls on us to rise above the indignation Olympics that always accompany stories like these.\nPerhaps more information will come that will change my mind, but until then, I\u2019m going to accept Ms. Kazantsev\u2019s comments about now including hazing prevention in her platform as truth. From her blog:\nNow that I\u2019m 2 years removed from that experience at the sorority, I\u2019ve learned what healthy relationships are, and can better speak to what young girls entering college should avoid and it has further developed my platform, \u201cLove Shouldn\u2019t Hurt: Protecting Women Against Domestic Violence.\u201d\nI\u2019m also proud to say that Alpha Phi Theta Mu of Hofstra University is an upstanding organization that has completely abandoned these practices and I\u2019m incredibly proud of the work they do as an organization.\nShe can do a whole lot of good on this issue, and I\u2019m interested to see her try. Maybe she can start with the Miss America Organization itself, who issued a very disappointing statement that didn\u2019t seem to acknowledge the gravity of the hazing issue.\nI\u2019m not sure how I wanted the Miss America Organization to respond, but what they\u2019ve done so far is pretty empty. Should they fire her? Let\u2019s imagine they did. It would send a message, but probably not a lasting one. The issue may be better served by pressing her throughout this year to carry the anti-hazing message wherever she goes.\nPerhaps, we anti-hazing advocates found a new ally in the strangest of places, and she wears a crown.\nI agree with everything you've said here. I just think it would be slightly stronger if you referred to new members as new members, and not as pledges.\nI have a few concerns with this post.\nWhile I appreciate this post's message about learning from mistakes and its stance against hazing, I do not agree with the message that this post sends to people who have hazed, who do haze, and to potential new members of the Greek community. There is a difference between being hazed... and being hazed and then hazing other people. I am tired of student affairs professionals relying back on the whole \"our students just aren't 'there' yet\" excuse. You're right. She wasn't, and it sounds like she still isn't, in a place to understand the severity of her actions and hazing. That's where educational consequences come into play. This happened last year. LAST YEAR! They gave the Miss America crown to someone who had her lifetime membership taken away after a hazing investigation. That is serious.\nTake away the crown. Consequences aren't just educational for the person involved. Taking away her crown is educational for PNMs, current members, and alumni of Greek organizations. It sends a message of intolerance, importance, and severity. It begins a conversation of intolerance for organizations who don't \"get it\" yet.\nThis happens all too often with students and organizations. We are quick to say that they \"just aren't developmentally ready to understand their actions\" and then allow them to continue along their current path with little education or consequences. We can promote development among students through educational consequences.\nMaybe I'm alone on this stance, but this article really rubbed me the wrong way.\nTracy Maxwell September 27, 2014 at 1:47 PM\nI truly appreciate your blog about this issue. I say much the same thing in my speech to college students about hazing: \"I used to think that hazers were evil people, and now I just believe they are people who were hazed. When you are immersed in a culture that participates in these kinds of activities, it can be difficult to see the inherent problem with them. To you, this is just the way things are done here.\"\nIt often takes an intervention of some sort to wake students up to the consequences of their actions. Unfortunately, this often comes in the form of a serious injury or even a death, but it can also come from unwanted media attention, a challenge from another student outside the organization (bystander behavior), media attention on a problem from somewhere else including another campus, an issue in the NFL or even a Miss America scandal. I personally have witnessed transformations in many students after hearing a speaker or attending UIFI or another leadership program.\nBlaming and shaming people and calling them \"evil\" rarely results in their desire to change, and often further entrenches them into their own stance that \"you just don't understand.\" Firing people (or de-crowning them as the case may be) is a great CYA strategy, but it also doesn't solve the problem. Sometimes people need to be fired because they are a contributing factor to the problem, but sometimes, if they have learned some lessons, they can be an important part of the solution. Neither Kira nor the Miss America organization have proven so far that they are willing to fully take responsibility and use their mighty platform to make a real difference on this issue, but I am still hopeful that they could, and I am willing to give them the chance to try.\nI wrote an article for this year's NHPW Resource Guide from HazingPrevention.Org that deals in part with what has been discussed here. It can be downloaded on the HPO website: http://hazingprevention.org/home/prevention/national-hazing-prevention-week/\nTracy Maxwell, Founder, HazingPrevention.Org\nCAMPUSPEAK Speaker, A Conversation About Hazing\nI want to add that I wrote a similarly themed article for this year's NHPW Resource Guide. You can download it here: http://hazingprevention.org/home/prevention/national-hazing-prevention-week/\nI am a member of the greek community at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I know that our University has a no hazing policy and that it is not tolerated at all. Miss America is supposed to exemplify the ideals and morals of a true woman in America. By admitting to taking part in hazing, Miss America has shown that the organization is not too worried about the well being of college students looking to be part of an organization.",

Countries, organizations, businesses, NGOs, educational organizations, and law enforcement are increasingly concerned both about access to the online world for children and youth, and about how to develop and promote safe and productive experiences, as well as how to address malicious, harmful, or illegal behavior online that affects children and youth.\nThe workshop will identify and showcase regional and international best practices in terms of services, programs, policy development and implementation around child safety and child protection measures but also allow critical examination of current standards and approachesand challenges faced in developing and ensuring a safe and productive online environment for children and youth. A key feature that is often discussed around the issue of online child protection is the issue of content and uses of the Internet that are harmful or illegal. A growing interest among experts and governments is how to address such challenges, while also supporting the effective uses of the Internet by children and youth for both personal and educational purposes.\nThe session will provide a closer examination of the current standards and initiatives that exist in these areas, including the role of legal provisions. The workshop will also address the significant challenges related to lack of legal provisions in some countries, and identify proposed solutions and actions. [Participants will address a wide range of information, including key recommendations coming out of the World Congress III on sexual exploitation of children and adolescents as they discuss the priority needs and practical action lines for ensuring better protective measures for children and an enhanced and safe experience online for all children and youth.]\nPractical engagement of industry and NGO organizations in terms of making the online environment safer for children will be discussed with an eye of improving the current standards and also what more needs to be done. This unique forum will allow the often distant entities to share their standpoints to work out common approaches for a safe and productive online experience ofchildren. Educational and awareness raising activities in different parts of the globe will also be discussed and will provide with an opportunity to do comparative analysis of such practices and perhaps tune them even more to reflect the current changes in technological developments and their inherent risks. The forum would also showcase regional developments and also focus on developing country perspective in dealing with the issues notably those in the Arab region.\nexploitation -26\nprotection -27",

        "raw_content": "Sadio Man\u00e9 Named Premier League Player Of The Month For August\nSadio Man\u00e9 has been named the Premier League Player of the Month for August. The Senegalese international has had a blistering start to the 2017-18 campaign, scoring in each of Liverpool\u2019s opening 3 games.\nHe opened his account with a goal in the thrilling 3-3 draw with Watford on the opening Saturday of the season, following it up with the only goal in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. He then scored an impressive strike in the 4-0 demolition of Arsenal on 27th August.\nMan\u00e9\u2019s debut season last year for Liverpool was nothing short of impressive, scoring 13 goals in a season that was interrupted by the African Cup of Nations. He was named both the Fans Player of the Year and the Players Player of the Year.\nInterestingly, the 25-year-old failed to win the club\u2019s Player of the Month award which was awarded to Mohamed Salah who signed from AS Roma in the Summer. The two have been devastating in Liverpool\u2019s impressive midfield. Both should line-up in the big match of the weekend against Manchester City for Saturday\u2019s early kick-off.\nOptimism is high on Merseyside as they look to improve on last year\u2019s 4th placed finish, as well as make a run in the Champions League, a competition the club has won on five occasions, an English record. Man\u00e9 will be expected to be a key factor in the team\u2019s success this year.",

On Friday, February 1, 2013, on the basis of evidence supplied by our affiliated Common Law Court of Justice (itccs.org), our Office concluded an agreement with representatives of a European nation and its courts to secure an arrest warrant against Joseph Ratzinger, aka Pope Benedict, for crimes against humanity and ordering a criminal conspiracy.\n2. This arrest warrant was to be delivered to the office of the \u201cHoly See\u201d in Rome on Friday, February 15, 2013. It allowed the nation in question to detain Ratzinger as a suspect in a crime if he entered its sovereign territory.\n3. A diplomatic note was issued by the said nation\u2019s government to the Vatican\u2019s Secretary of State, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, on Monday, February 4, 2013, informing Bertone of the impending arrest warrant and inviting his office to comply. No reply to this note was received from Cardinal Bertone or his office; but six days later, Pope Benedict resigned.\n4. The agreement between our Tribunal and the said nation included a second provision to issue a commercial lien through that nation\u2019s courts against the property and wealth of the Roman Catholic church commencing on Easter Sunday, March 31, 2013.

        "title": "La Vida Alcala\u00edna: R.I.P. Paco Pizarro, 1936-2018",
        "raw_content": "When we first came to Alcal\u00e1, the main watering-hole for the small colony of Brits was Pizarro's, or Pizzies as it was usually called. These days the Paseo de la Playa is full of bars and cafes, but back in 2005 there was very little choice. One of the reasons we liked to go there was the charming owner, Paco. He was still cooking then, and used to bring us out little plates of food to try, often sitting down for a chat, listening patiently to our broken Spanish. He loved meeting people, especially foreigners who had elected to visit or move permanently to his home town.\nSo it was with great sadness that we learned of his death last week, at the age of 82. He'd been ill for a while, but would still come down to the bar occasionally for a game of dominoes. Just two weeks before he died, I drew a picture of him and was wondering how to give it to him as I hadn't seen him for a while...\nPaco Pizarro may be the best-known Alcal\u00e1 resident of all time, by virtue of having a nephew named Alejandro Sanz. Most Brits have never heard of him, but he is one of the most successful pop stars in the Spanish-speaking world. In 2006 Paco went to stay with him in Miami, and accompanied the singer on a year-long tour throughout the Americas and Spain. He was put in charge of liaising with the fans, who christened him Tio Paco (Uncle Frank). He won them over with his gentle charm, and ended up being nearly as popular as his nephew.\nA few years ago he published an autobiography, T\u00edo Paco. It's a fascinating read, and since it isn't available in English, I've extracted some of the highlights and translated them. You can read the results below.\nFrancisco Pizarro Medina was born in Alcal\u00e1 de los Gazules on 25 February 1936, the third of seven children. His father, Jos\u00e9 Pizarro Torres, was a baker and his mother, Maria Medina Gonzales, gathered firewood for a living. They were both illiterate, not unusual at that time, but his mother was particularly keen that all her children should learn to read and write. Paco described her as a hungry she-wolf, fighting ceaselessly to raise her cubs.\nCivil War broke out a few months after Paco was born. One of his uncles, who was literate, was assassinated by the nationalists for organising agricultural workers and reading them \"subversive\" materials. His aunt had her head shaved and was marched through the streets in a display of public humiliation, for the crime of being the sister of a Red. So it was not surprising that Paco's parents took the children and fled to the sierra. Jos\u00e9 returned to the town each night and cadged some bread from his colleagues at the bakery. One night the boss said it would be safe for them to return, so they did.\nThe family home, in C/ Rio Verde, consisted of just one room and a cooking area under the stairs. So Jos\u00e9 borrowed the money from his boss to buy a further room upstairs, which is where the children slept.\nWork in the bakery was long and hard. Jos\u00e9 had to get up in the small hours to make the dough, light the wood-fired oven, cook the bread, and then load the loaves onto mules to sell them round the streets. So eventually he decided to open a bar. It was christened \u201cLos Panaderos\u201d (the bakers) and was located on the Alameda next to the church. It served whatever foods were easily available \u2013tagarninas, wild asparagus and artichokes in spring, the meat from the matanza (pig-slaughter) over the winter, barbel, carp and eels during the fishing season.\nDespite the cramped living conditions and poverty, Paco describes his childhood as being happy, full of laughter and solidarity amongst the neighbours. He was a mischievous and talkative child, with jet-black hair and wide eyes, and all the neighbours adored him. He didn\u2019t do well at school, and was frequently beaten by the teacher, Manuel Marchante. But he was a good singer and sang in the church choir. Once he had a sore throat and refused to sing: Marchante slammed the boy\u2019s head against a door, and he had to be sent home because he was bleeding profusely, though the cut wasn't deep. His mother gave Marchante quite a mouthful.\nWhen he was seven, Paco felt obliged to start contributing to the family\u2019s finances. After school he would collect cigarette ends from the streets and bars: a tinful would earn 50 cents. The woman who bought them would roll them up into fresh cigarettes, making five or six from a tinful.\nHis next job, at the age of eight, was selling newspapers door-to-door and on the street. His father didn\u2019t approve of this sort of child labour, but eventually gave his consent. He did well, not only selling all the papers that were delivered, but receiving small gifts from his customers, such as milk to drink, cakes and fruit. In the evenings he sold sweets at the local cinema, which meant he got to see the films. He was particularly impressed by Marlene Dietrich and Humphrey Bogart. He would also make toys for Christmas presents, such as brightly coloured hoops made out of old bicycle wheels.\nC/ Rio Verde, with the church in the background.\nThe Pizarro family home is on the left.\nWhen Paco was eleven, his mother gave birth to Luis. She contracted an infection after the birth and spent some time in hospital, leaving Paco and his sister to care for the baby, himself a sickly child. At times like this the solidarity between neighbours came to the fore. Both recovered, but there no more babies. Luis later became a distinguished socialist politician, and his son Javier is the current mayor of Alcal\u00e1.\nOnce the bar was up and running, Paco gave up his other jobs, going there after school to clean fish and fry sardines. He left school at 12 and went to work there full time, Another teacher, Don Antonio, recognised his artistic and dramatic talents and offered to pay for him to continue his education, but his father refused, as he needed him to work in the bar. Nonetheless, Paco became involved in amateur dramatics in his spare time and showed a special flair for impromptu comedy. This would serve him well throughout his life.\nAt thirteen, Paco contracted typhus when playing in the town\u2019s sewer, and nearly died. The only treatment was to cover his stomach with a paste made of mashed cabbage leaves and vinegar, alternated with bags of ice. It took him the best part of a year to recover, during which he spent some time with an aunt in C\u00e1diz because it was thought the sea air would do him good.\nPlaza Alameda de la Cruz, location of the bar \"Los Panaderos\"\nPaco lost his virginity in a brothel on the Plaza Alta, to a prostitute named \u201cAna la Gorda\u201d. He and his friends weren\u2019t officially allowed in because they were under 21, but the madam, Mari Cruz, said they could come in the afternoon when there were no other customers.. The five of them lined up and took her one after the other, and then had to clean themselves with potassium permanganate solution to avoid infection.\nAs a child, Paco had been close to Father Manuel, the parish priest. He used to do odd jobs round the church. and took over ringing the bells when the stairs became too much for the old man. But when he retired, things changed. The new priest, Father J\u00e9sus, not only did not want his help but would look at him strangely. The first time Paco went to him for confession, he was told he was saying it wrong. He instructed Paco to follow him into the sacristy, where he would give him a private lesson. Paco felt very uncomfortable and left the church as quickly as he could.\nThis experience left Paco feeling uneasy, almost fearful. The Church had enormous power in the town, on a par with the Mayor or the Guardia Civil, and this priest could make life difficult for him and his family. So he decided to go to Paris.\nHe and his friend Ram\u00f3n went to the French capital by bus, a journey that took five days. When their savings ran out they busked, with Ram\u00f3n playing guitar and Paco singing Andalusian songs. Paco was astonished by the amount of freedom enjoyed by the Parisians, kissing and holding hands on the street. Very different from Franco's Spain. He had a fling with a French girl called Anne, but just as it was starting to get serious he received a letter forwarded by his mother \u2013 his call-up papers for military service. So, after less than a year, they returned to Alcal\u00e1.\nWhile waiting for his posting, Paco returned to working in the bar. Times were desperately hard, and there were chronic food shortages. They often handed out food to mothers who had nothing to give to their children, and gave breakfasts on credit to men with temporary jobs in the campo while they were waiting to be paid.\nThe \"Mili\"\nPaco did his military service in Algeciras, where he was taught to be a good patriotic Spaniard and follow orders. Nonetheless his sense of mischief got the better of him on occasions. One night, on guard duty in the small hours, he applied a lipstick he had purchased for a local girl to the mouths of his comrades while they slept. Next morning on the parade ground there was mayhem. He confessed and took his punishment (two hours extra patrol outside the camp), but the girl never got her lipstick.\nHis official duties involved escorting soldiers returning from Morocco, Ceuta and Melilla from the ferry port to the station, and seeing them safely onto their homeward train. He also did a bit of wheeling and dealing on the black market - tobacco, stockings etc.\nThe Bars on the Playa\nWhen Paco returned to Alcal\u00e1, his father had just taken a lease on the bar known as La Parada, right by the Algeciras-Jerez bus stop. It hadn't been doing particularly well, and Paco decided to change tradition and leave the doors open all the time. This made it more inviting for passengers getting off the bus, and also for local women who could see whether their friends were inside. On the first day of opening, he invited the bus driver in and gave him a bocadillo de lomo on the house. Business took off from that point, and the bar also became the local haunt of estraperlistas (black-marketeers) who would trade their goods there. Paco installed a jukebox, which brought in a younger clientele, and soon it was the most successful bar in the town.\nAfter two years the lease came up for renewal and the owner asked for double the rent. They decided to renew, but started to make contingency plans and put money aside for the future. When a plot of land came up for sale that had previously been the site of the open-air cinema, they were able to purchase it for 365,000 pesetas (\u20ac92,000 at today\u2019s value). This would become the site of the Restaurante Pizarro.\nBus stopping at La Parada\nIn 1964 Paco got the travel bug again and set off to San Sebastian in the Basque Country. He was taken aback by how formal the Basques were compared to Andalusians, and even encountered some prejudice against the southerners, but he soon charmed people with his good humour and his songs and got a job in a well-known hostelry, El Cleri. After a few weeks, however, the pull of home became too strong and he returned to Alcal\u00e1.\nThe following year he married his childhood sweetheart, the blue-eyed Francisca, fourteen years after their first date. In an attempt to restrict the congregation to close friends and family, the service took place at 6.a.m. Paco and Paca went on to have five children: Jos\u00e9 Antonio, Yolanda, Franciso Javier, Miguel \u00c1ngel and Gema.\nThey also had a dog, Pirri, a much loved family pet. One day they had been out in the car and stopped at a venta in Medina on the way back. The dog jumped out of the car and ran off, but nobody noticed he was missing till they got home. The boy Miguel \u00c1ngel was particularly upset. They went back several times but couldn\u2019t find him.\nA year later, someone spotted the dog tied up outside a warehouse. He told Paco and the whole family went over to reclaim him, but the new owner wouldn\u2019t give him back as his young daughter had got attached to him. Eventually Paco suggested they release the dog to see which family he went to. The animal bounded straight over to Miguel \u00c1ngel and started licking his face. There was no doubt it was Pirri.\nJos\u00e9 Pizarro died in 1976, leaving his sons Paco and \u00c1ngel to run the bar. It continued to be profitable, and to help ease his widowed mother\u2019s loneliness, he bought her a colour television set from Radio Hogar across the road. At first she refused to believe it had been paid for, but soon came to love it. He took good care of her until she died in 1986.\nPaco was fond of cats, and the restaurant was full of them. They would wait silently under the tables for titbits from the customers. He named them after the teachers at the high school, according to their observed characteristics. Then one day the pharmacist told him it was unhygienic as they might pass diseases on to the customers. \u00c1ngel, who was less sentimental and more businesslike than Paco, arranged for them to be taken off to the campo. One of them, Do\u00f1a Elena (mother of all the rest) found her way back to the restaurant, but she disappeared the next day.\nPaco had always had a yearning to paint, and now found himself in a position to attend an art school in C\u00e1diz. He studied there for four years, then set up a studio in his home where he continued to paint alone. His works were exhibited on several occasions, but he didn\u2019t paint them to sell, preferring to give them to friends and family.\nPaco the Businessman\nPizarro's bar/restaurant became well-known across the region for its good food and lively, slightly bohemian atmosphere. It was a popular meeting place for the bullfighting fraternity, and flamenco artists, many of whom were good friends of Paco.\nThe chef, Juan Panera, was gay as was his assistant Miguel, known as Tita Ingrid because of his devotion to Ingrid Bergman. They were inveterate practical jokers and added much to the local colour.\nIn 1980 Paco opened Alcal\u00e1\u2019s first discotheque, adjacent to the restaurant. It was an instant success, being the only such enterprise for miles around, and became a friendly and safe meeting place for young people from across the province. The evening would start with lively dance music, then popular hits of the day, followed by rumbas and sevillanas, and finally they would dim the lights and play romantic ballads.\nOn New Year\u2019s Eve the disco would open for all those who didn\u2019t have family dinners to go to, serving food and doing all the trditional nochevieja customs, followed by dancing till dawn.\nInevitably, after a while the drug dealers moved in, followed by plain-clothes policemen; musical tastes changed in favour of \u201cheavy\u201d and punk. A few concerned parents started to prevent their kids going there, and complained to the authorities demanding its closure. He avoided this by keeping a close eye on everyone who came in, and discreetly ejecting anyone he suspected of dealing drugs.\nPaco always dressed unconventionally, which upset a few people. He liked the Elvis look; leather trousers, Cuban heel boots and waistcoat. He strongly believed that dress was a form of personal expression.\nIn later years, Paco explored the possibility of becoming a freemason. He received an invitation to a conference on masonry in C\u00e1diz, and was intrigued because it had always been a taboo subject. He listened to the speakers and had many questions for them, but was frustrated because none of them were answered. He was interviewed, and told that he would have to attend a lodge meeting in C\u00e1diz every week and be subject to an extensive background check. After some thought he decided that although he agreed with the principles of charity and brotherhood, he preferred to exercise them under his own terms.\nThe Pizarro empire in 2006: Restaurant, disco and hostel.\nPaco used the disco to express his political beliefs, taking the microphone to promote the policies of Felipe Gonz\u00e1lez and the newly reformed Spanish socialist party. This may seem odd to us, but in context, after decades of dictatorship during which no-one dared express their political views in public, it\u2019s perhaps not so strange.\nHowever the authorities decided that the disco could only remain open on condition that Paco stopped \u201cindoctrinating the youth\u201d. He was in effect barred from his own local. Word reached Gonz\u00e1lez himself, who wrote to Paco after his 1982 election victory: \u201cDear Paco, go back to the disco, for as long as there is a socialist in Spain nobody will bother you again\u201d. That night he did just that.\nGonz\u00e1lez visited Alcal\u00e1 for a meeting shortly afterwards and promised to call in at the disco afterwards to meet Paco in person. However word got round and the venue was so crowded he couldn\u2019t even reach the bar, where Paco was waiting with some refreshments. They could only wave to each other from a distance. His security team escorted him out, but he would return several times in subsequent years to meet the family and eat in the restaurant.\nThe day after Gonz\u00e1lez\u2019s visit, the police turned up and demanded to see all the documents and licences relating to the disco. Paco had them all to hand, but they insisted that he was disobeying the order to stay away. Paco showed them the letter from Felipe Gonz\u00e1lez. They read it carefully then went away. The disco stayed open another twenty years, until the point when the trafficking in drugs could no longer be kept under control.\nThere is a story that when the disco was in its heyday, the religious processions during Semana Santa used to lose their followers as they were enticed into the disco by the sound of Bob Marley et al. The priest asked Paco to turn the music down, which he did, but the problem continued. In the end the priest decided that the processions should not pass along the Paseo de la Playa, which remains the case to this day.\nWhen Paco was barred from his own disco, he ran the bar in the San Jorge Hotel which his father had purchased. He decorated it with coloured lights and soft music, with the occasional jazz singer and other live entertainers. It became as popular as the disco, in its own way.\nDuring a general election campaign, some teachers and local politicians were having lunch in Pizarro\u2019s dining room when in walked the leader of the right-wing Allianza Popular, Manuel Fraga. Being of a somewhat different political persuasion, the locals started to heckle him until the point where Paco had to ask them to quieten down. Meanwhile Fraga. a notorious gourmand, took full advantage of the local dishes presented to him, and offered his congratulations to the chef. Seeing that his guest was somewhat the worse for wear, Paco let him use his bed to take a siesta afterwards, so he would be fresh for his meeting in the evening. The following day, people in the town shouted \u201cfascist!\u201d at his mother, but she countered them by saying that one should be generous to everybody, regardless of their social class, economic position or religion.\nThe Arrogant Argentinian\nCarlos Perdomo was a wealthy Argentinian businessman who in 1985 brought a finca and 1000 hectares of land in Alcal\u00e1. He and his wife ate regularly at the restaurant, and Paco started to act as a go-between between Perdomo and local tradesmen, whom Perdomo treated with disdain, stating publicly that you should never trust anyone, not even your mother. This upset Paco greatly, as it went completely against his personal philosophy. But he carried on doing favours for this odious gentleman, and they continued to ply him with expensive gifts.\nTheir demands became more and more bizarre; they decided they wanted some rabbits on their finca, so Paco arranged for some friends in Paterna to bring over a few sackfuls, which were duly released.\nThree years after purchasing the finca, the Perdomos were away for Christmas and someone burnt their house down. The culprit was never caught. Perdomo wanted Paco to buy the land off him, and he even offered to let him pay in instalments, but it was far too expensive. So he authorised him to sell the land on his behalf, though it was \u00c1ngel who did the work, as Paco didn\u2019t have a head for that sort of thing. They ended up with a gift of 5 million pesetas (\u20ac70,000 in today\u2019s terms).\nDuring the second half of the 1980s, Paco took the lease on a restaurant in Sotogrande, an upmarket resort/marina at the western end of the Costa del Sol. He sussed out the competition, and decided to model it on his successful restaurant in Alcal\u00e1, with the same name and specialising in traditional rustic dishes. He lured in the English visitors, who he knew liked to dine early, by offering free aperatifs in the early evening. He also undercut the prices of his main competitors, particularly on the wine list.\nWord got round and many famous people including the King\u2019s daughter, the Infanta Elena, came to enjoy home-cooked pheasant, partridge, wild boar and venison. Paco would go out and chat to his well-heeled guests, who of course found him totally charming. One English aristocrat who lived nearby admired his paintings, which were hung on the walls. She invited him to her studio and they became good friends. Another of the same stripe, Lady Fiona Lowsley, invited him to exhibit four of his paintings in her mansion. He was offered the job of providing artworks for a new hotel that a friend of hers was setting up. He was tempted for a while, but knew his heart was in his restaurant business and he could not do both.\nIn 1986 the film crew of Empire of the Sun visited Sotogrande to shoot some scenes. The producer asked if they could take over the restaurant for three days, using their own chefs. Paco offered a compromise; he would set aside a table for them on the terrace while he continued to service his regular customers inside. This was how Paco got to meet Stephen Spielberg, John Malkovich, Miranda Richardson and Chrstian Bale.\nAnother guest introduced himself as Antonio Pizarro, a professor of medicine from New York. He wondered if they were related. Paco explained that they were probably all descendants of the conquistador of Peru, Francisco Pizarro, who came from Trujillo in Extremadura. Paco\u2019s great-great-grandfather had married against the wishes of his family and moved from Trujillo to Alcal\u00e1, where he set up a greengrocer store in Rio Verde. The visitor said that his family had emigrated to the US from C\u00e1ceres, Extremadura, so the two of them went on a pilgrimage to discover their roots.\nThe other Francisco Pizarro\nThe Peruvian connection was genuine. Previously the mayor of Alcal\u00e1 had received a letter from the Peruvian government, addressed to everyone in the town named Pizarro, detailing all the land and property that was their inheritance in that country. Everyone started planning what they would spend the money on, but it turned out that the 75% inheritance tax and the large number of heirs made it not worth the effort of going to Peru to claim it.\nOne day the owners of the restaurant arrived and offered Paco a partnership and a share of the profits. Recalling his father\u2019s experience with La Parada, he declined their offer and continued to rent it on a monthly basis. They put the rent up every year, until after eight years it was three times as much as the original rate - 900,000 ptas (about \u20ac10,000) a month.. They knew he could afford it, he was doing well and had bought a house. But Paco had decided it was time to go home.\nReturn to Alcal\u00e1\nSo once again Paco returned to Alcal\u00e1, where for the next few years he worked in the restaurant during the day and the disco at night. He was shocked and saddened by the number of young people who had become addicted to heroin, their bright young lives destroyed.\nBut there were good things happening in the town as well. Paco had always been interested in the theatre, and was invited by Mercedes, Inma and Maribel from the recently established adult education centre to help put on a performance of Lorca\u2019s play Bodas de Sangre (Blood Wedding). It was quite a challenge, because none of the cast had acting experience and some were barely literate. But they pulled it off, gave a memorable performance in the patio of the Sagrada Familia, and went on to take the production to other towns in the area.\nDirecting the drama group at the Adult Education Cenre\nIt was clear that the actors felt a strong emotional connection to the characters they were playing. They were invited to represent C\u00e1diz in an Andalucia-wide amateur dramatics competition, which took place in Almeria; the cast and crew were put up in a four-star hotel, which was something beyond the wildest dreams of most of them. Despite the fact that they were competing against experienced drama companies from Seville, Malaga and all the other regional capitals, they were awarded first prize. Paco continued as drama director at the Centre for a further eight years, producing almost the entire Lorca repertoire.\nOne day in 2006 Paco received a call from his sister\u2019s son Alejandro inviting him over to Miami for a couple of weeks. He accepted straight away \u2013 his children were grown up, the restaurant had good staff and would prosper without him, and he had always loved to travel. He ended up staying two years.\nAlejandro Sanz is one of the most famous pop stars in the Spanish-speaking world, winner of countless awards and gold discs. He had lived in Miami for many years and wanted to show off his \u201cT\u00edo Paco\u201d to his American friends, and vice versa. Paco was introduced to countless stars, actors, film directors, artists, musicians, politicians and businessmen, and had the time of his life. Alejandro\u2019s famous house parties were given an Andalusian flavour by Paco's presence, and the locals loved it. Highlights of the stay including reading Jennifer Lopez\u2019s palm, swimming naked in Shakira\u2019s swimming pool, and dinner with the family of the late Bob Marley, where he was ordered to smoke all the ganja he was offered so as not to offend them.\nWhen dining with David and Victoria Beckham in a restaurant, Paco asked the waiter for some lemonade to mix with his red wne, as was his custom when at home. Alejandro gave him a strange look. Later he had a glimpse at the menu and realised he\u2019d just made tinto de verano with wine that cost $1,400 a bottle. Paco wasn\u2019t terribly impressed with the tasting menu, especially some foam which exploded in the mouth. He also noted that during the whole evening Victoria only ate two broccoli florets and a couple of endive leaves, washed down with champagne.\nOther anecdotes were edited out of the manuscript by Alejeandro, to spare the dignity of his friends...\nIn March 2007 Paco accompanied Alejamdro on a year-long tour, El Tren de los Momentos. This gave him a chance to satisfy his wanderlust further, as they visited countries in Central and South America as well as the USA and Spain. All the concerts were sold out well in advance. He would watch every performance from backstage, dancing and joining in the songs. While they were in Spain, he took on the role of liaising with the fan club organisers, who affectionately christened him \u201cT\u00edo Paco\u201d.\nPaco got see as much of the places they visited as he could. True to form, when told to avoid venturing into what were considered dangerous areas of cities such as Mexico DF, he would sneak off on his own just to see why. He also enjoyed the more usual tourist venues, including the studios of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, which affected him deeply.\nWhilst in Mexico City, he noticed from his hotel window a home furnishing shop called Lienzo de los Gazules. Curious to know the origin of its name, he went in and introduced himself to the owner, who told him that his father had founded the business in Alcal\u00e1 de Guadaira, near Seville, in 1991. But he didn\u2019t like that name and looked for a different Alcal\u00e1. He liked the sound of Gazules, which had an Arabic ring to it, so he wrote to the mayor asking permission to use the name for his enterprise. He never received a reply.\nThe Final Return\nAfter two years, Paco decided it was time to home to his wife and family. His brother \u00c1ngel, who had been running the restaurant, was ill and there was no-one else to take over. He had thought that in America he would be able to enjoy the liberty he loved, but it turned out that people there were nothing more than numbers controlled by the authorities. This came to a head on his return journey; at Miami airport he was seized and taken to an interview room. The police were looking for a terrorist named Francisco Pizarro Medina, from Alcal\u00e1 de los Gazules. Clearly, somebody had stolen his identity.\nFive hours later they returned his passport and he was released with instructions to get his paperwork sorted. No explanation, no apology, no refund on his missed flight. Even though he had committed no offence, he was treated like a criminal. Eventually Alejandro managed to resolve the issue and Paco was able to leave the country. But if he hadn\u2019t had a famous nephew, who knows what might have happened.\nBack in the restaurant, playing dominoes and chatting to his old friends about his adventures, Paco knew he had made the right decision. He had made the most of his life, and was ready to enjoy his old age back where he started. And now he had a book to write.\nIn 2010 Paco realised a long-held dream of seeing his nephew give a concert in Alcal\u00e1 de los Gazules.\nFans arrive hours early for the concert in the football ground.\nThe book T\u00edo Paco was published in 2013. Alejandro wrote the introduction, and flew over for the launch party in Madrid.\nPaco and Alejandro, reunited for the book launch.\nIn the same year, the TV show \"Diez Razones para ir a ...\" (Ten reasons to go to ...) came to Alcal\u00e1. Alejandro was Reason No 3, and the programme included an interview with Paco:\nLast year a Brazilian Sanz fan, Gina Clavijo, came to Alcal\u00e1 to meet Paco. She made this video, which includes an interview with him in his house:\nA few weeks before his death, we were walking down the Playa one night with some friends and we heard a chorus of female voices outside Restaurante Pizarro chanting \u201cT\u00edo Paco! T\u00edo Paco!\u201d It was a coach-load of Alejandro\u2019s fans, doing a tour of their idol\u2019s origins. They all wore black T-shirts with T\u00edo Paco written on them. The entertainment was provided by a carnival group from C\u00e1diz, and then they all had a meal in the restaurant. I don't know whether he was well enough to attend in person, but he would have certainly been there in spirit.\nPaco's fan club outside Pizzies",

        "raw_content": "'The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' - Movie Review\nA friend got preview tickets to \"The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,\" so I had a chance to see it before it hit theatres. This also motivated my watching the original a couple days ago. Unfortunately, John Madden (who directed both) and Ol Parker (his screenwriter, this time and last) have decided that the problem with the first movie wasn't them overplaying things, but rather that they weren't clear enough ... so this latest movie should be drawn in broader strokes. Given that I thought the original was too broad, this presented a problem for me. Dev Patel in particular suffers for this: he's supposed to be a likable but bombastic guy, but because of his dislikes and suspicions at the beginning of the movie he alienates everyone: all the guests at the hotel, his fianc\u00e9e, and his fianc\u00e9e's family. But he gets his head adjusted by the end and all is well, because it's just that kind of movie.\nSo what actually happens? Sonny Kapoor (Patel) and Muriel Donnelly (Maggie Smith), co-managers of the hotel, decide it's time to expand the hotel chain, and approach an American hotel chain (run by David Strathairn - never let it be said they don't pull in the big names ...) for financial support. They are told that a hotel inspector will come, but they won't know who. Sonny decides he knows who that is among the couple new guests (Richard Gere and Tamsin Greig), and much incredibly idiotic preferential support follows. Cringeworthy and idiotic. With the steamroller of brilliant actors available to them, the movie couldn't be a complete loss - these are talented people who can drag something worthwhile out of the worst of scripts. But this isn't something you should be rushing to see.\nPrev: 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel' - Movie Review Next: \"Three Parts Dead\" - Book Review\nhttp://gilesorr.com/blog/best-exotic-2.html",

Lots of people still believe in them, and if you want to look into why go here.\nI am more interested in the not so subtle mocking going on in all of the articles about the moved stone. This is one of those areas where Materialists can say \"Idiots!\" and lots of Religious people can go \"Heathens!\" and they can both have a good laugh about it before they start bashing each other again.\nHuman history is long and broad and deep and is filled with people who believe in the existence of other intelligences. They call them lots of things: elves, trolls, spirits, fey, ghosts, demons, angels, aliens, jinn, kami, big foot, or ultraterrestrials of whatever stripe. It is in the Koran. It is in the Bible. It is in Buddhism. It is in the Torah. Shintoism is entirely about such beings.\nAll of our grandmothers (OK most of our grandmothers) knew and told us there were other things in the world than what we could see and feel. Even if they had stopped believing when they told us.\nStories told by countless people in countless places have so many striking notes of similarity.\nMy point is not to get you to believe in any of it. My point is that if you choose to dismiss outright the existence of such beings in general you are not being scientific or rational. You are acting on faith in your understanding of the world. A scientific answer would be \"People have reported a phenomena. We do not have sufficient evidence to confirm or deny their conclusions about the nature of that phenomena. We must look at it further.\" And if people who were honest about being real scientists were in charge of budgets and grants there might be more research that was not considered \"fringe.\"\nIf, as a religious person, you dismiss such things because they do not fit your cosmology I would suggest that you revisit your religious texts and traditions.\nIf we are to be honest, intelligent, people about matters of faith and science we cannot dismiss out of hand any phenomena that a lot of people claim to experience. We might reject in specific, but we should not simply do so as a default. That says that somehow other people's perceptions and reason are inferior to our own.

        "raw_content": "HIGH ROOTHING BURY RACECOURSE\nWhilst it is known that racing took place at Chelmsford in Essex in the mid 1700s, the first occasion that races were organised by the Essex Hunt Committee was in 1808 when the Chelmsford racecourse at Galleywood was used as the venue. This arrangement lasted for 4 years before there was a considerable lapse in the Essex Hunts meetings. The Essex Hunt Committee was then reinvigorated to organise further race meetings in 1876 when a new venue at Rundells was chosen on land owned by James Scruby. That inaugural meeting was held on 28th March 1876. Further meetings followed on 5th March 1878 and 21st April 1881, although it had been planned to hold the meeting every two years. The meeting was at Rundells for a further 5 year period from 1882 to 1886, and during this period the meeting was known as the \u2018Essex Hunt Club Private Steeplechases\u2019. Essex Hunt meetings were nomadic having also held races at Thaxted, Standon and Great Easton, but in 1886 the meeting was held at High Easter, Great Hassells. The village of High Easter was known in Norman times as High Estra, and is situated a short distance from Chelmsford. It is in the civil parish of Uttlesford and lies on the River Can. High Easter now hold very successful point to point meetings. After ditching Rundells as their chosen venue the committee deemed that a course at High Roothing Bury should be used for the 1898 meeting. The Roothings, or Rodings, are a cluster of villages in Essex. The villages were recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 when known as the Rodinges. The meeting took place on Thursday 12th April 1898 and was successful. This continued to be their chosen venue, apart from breaks for the Boer War, and the final meeting took place at High Roothing Bury on Thursday 4th April 1907. Sometimes the meeting was staged at North Weald, and at other times at Weald Hall. Throughout this period the Hunt Group had also staged successful point to point meetings at a whole host of tracks beyond the ones shown above, including Good Easter, Thaxted, Standon, and Great Easton.\nEssex United Hunt Cup over 2 \u00bd miles\n1.

        "title": "Introduction to the Immigration Process - Immigration and Citizenship Resources - LibGuides at Huntsville-Madison County Public Library",
        "raw_content": "Immigration and Citizenship Resources\nIntroduction to the Immigration Process\nOverview of immigration and citizenship resources, including websites and organizations at the local and national level.\nVideo Resouces\nImage from https://www.quora.com/topic/U-S-Immigration; accessed September 13, 2017.\nData from the Census Bureau shows that 42.4 million immigrants (both legal and illegal) now live in the United States. This Backgrounder provides a detailed picture of immigrants, also referred to as the foreign-born, living in the United States by country of birth and state. It also examines the progress immigrants make over time. All figures are for both legal and illegal immigrants who responded to Census Bureau surveys.\nThe nation's 42.4 million immigrants (legal and illegal) in 2014 is the highest number ever in American history. The 13.3 percent of the nation's population comprised of immigrants in 2014 is the highest percentage in 94 years.\nBetween 2000 and 2014, 18.7 million new immigrants (legal and illegal) settled in the United States. Despite the Great Recession beginning at the end of 2007, and the weak recovery that followed, 7.9 million new immigrants settled in the United States from the beginning of 2008 to mid-2014.\nFrom 2010 to 2014, new immigration (legal and illegal) plus births to immigrants added 8.3 million residents to the country, equal to 87 percent of total U.S. population growth.\nThe sending countries with the largest percentage increases in immigrants living in the United States from 2010 to 2014 were Saudi Arabia (up 93 percent), Bangladesh (up 37 percent), Iraq (up 36 percent), Egypt (up 25 percent), and Pakistan, India, and Ethiopia (each up 24 percent).\nStates with the largest percentage increases in the number of immigrants from 2010 to 2014 were North Dakota (up 45 percent), Wyoming (up 42 percent), Montana (up 19 percent), Kentucky (up 15 percent), New Hampshire (up 14 percent), and Minnesota and West Virginia (both up 13 percent).\nRates of work for immigrants and natives tend to be similar \u2014 70 percent of both immigrants and natives (ages 18 to 65) held a job in March 2015.\nImmigrant men have higher rates of work than native-born men \u2014 82 percent vs. 73 percent. However, immigrant women have lower rates of work than native-born women \u2014 57 percent vs. 66 percent.\nA large share of immigrants have low levels of formal education. Of adult immigrants (ages 25 to 65), 28 percent have not completed high school, compared to 8 percent of natives. The share of immigrants (25 to 65) with at least a bachelor's degree is only slightly lower than natives \u2014 30 percent vs. 32 percent.\nBecause many immigrants have modest levels of education, they have significantly increased the share of some types of workers relative to others.\nIn 2014, 49 percent of maids, 47 percent of taxi drivers and chauffeurs, 33 percent of butchers and meat processors, and 35 percent of construction laborers were foreign-born.\nWhile the above occupations are often thought of as overwhelmingly comprised of immigrants, most of the workers in these jobs are U.S.-born.\nWorkers in other occupations face relatively little competition from immigrants. In 2014, 5 percent of English language journalists, 6 percent of farmers and ranchers, and 7 percent of lawyers were immigrants.\nAt the same time immigration has added to the number of less-educated workers, the share of young less-educated natives holding a job declined significantly. In 2000, 66 percent of natives under age 30 with no education beyond high school were working; in 2015 it was 53 percent.\nDespite similar rates of work, because a larger share of adult immigrants arrive with little education, immigrants are significantly more likely to work low-wage jobs, live in poverty, lack health insurance, use welfare, and have lower rates of home ownership.\nIn 2014, 21 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lived in poverty, compared to 13 percent of natives and their children. Immigrants and their children account for about one-fourth of all persons in poverty.\nAlmost one in three children (under age 18) in poverty have immigrant fathers.\nIn 2014, 18 percent of immigrants and their U.S.-born children (under 18) lacked health insurance, compared to 9 percent of natives and their children.\nIn 2014, 42 percent of immigrant-headed households used at least one welfare program (primarily food assistance and Medicaid), compared to 27 percent for natives. Both figures represent an undercount. If adjusted for undercount based on other Census Bureau data, the rate would be 57 percent for immigrants and 34 percent for natives.\nIn 2014, 12 percent of immigrant households were overcrowded, using a common definition of such households. This compares to 2 percent of native households.\nOf immigrant households, 51 percent are owner-occupied, compared to 65 percent of native households.\nThe lower socio-economic status of immigrants is not due to their being mostly recent arrivals. The average immigrant in 2014 had lived in the United States for almost 21 years.\nImmigrant Progress Over Time\nImmigrants make significant progress the longer they live in the country. However, even immigrants who have lived in the United States for 20 years have not come close to closing the gap with natives.\nThe poverty rate of adult immigrants who have lived in the United States for 20 years is 57 percent higher than for adult natives.\nThe share of households headed by an immigrant who has lived in the United States for 20 years using at least one welfare program is 80 percent higher than native households.\nThe share of households headed by an immigrant who has lived in the United States for 20 years that are owner occupied is 24 percent lower than that of native households.\nImpact on Public Schools\nThere are 10.9 million students from immigrant households in public schools, and they account for nearly 23 percent of all public school students.\nThere are 64 public school students per 100 immigrant households, compared to 38 for native households. Because immigrant households tend to be poorer, immigration often increases school enrollment without a corresponding increase in the local tax base.\nIn addition to increasing enrollment, immigration often creates significant challenges for schools by adding to the number of students with special needs. In 2014, 75 percent of students who spoke a language other than English were from immigrant households, as are 31 percent of all public school students in poverty.\nStates with the largest share of public school students from immigrant households are California (47 percent), Nevada (37 percent), New York and New Jersey (33 percent each), and Texas (32 percent).\nImmigrants and natives have very similar rates of entrepreneurship \u2014 12.4 percent of immigrants are self-employed either full- or part-time, as are 12.8 percent of natives.\nMost of the businesses operated by immigrants and natives tend to be small. In 2015, only 16 percent of immigrant-owned businesses had more than 10 employees, as did 19 percent of native-owned businesses.\nImpact on the Aging of American Society\nRecent immigration has had a small impact on the nation's age structure. If post-2000 immigrants are excluded from the data, the median age in the United States would still be 37.\nRecent immigration has had a small impact on the nation's fertility rate. In 2014, the nation's total fertility rate (TFR) was 1.85 children per women. Excluding all immigrants, it would have been the rate for natives \u2014 1.78 children per woman. The presence of immigrants has increased the nation's TFR by about 4 percent.\nFrom https://cis.org/Report/Immigrants-United-States?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIp4KC0vOk1gIVhEOGCh3-MQUcEAAYAiAAEgL8XvD_BwE; accessed September 13, 2017.\nNext: USCIS >>\nURL: https://guides.hmcpl.org/immigrationandcitizenship",

        "title": "Race and the Cuban Revolution",
        "raw_content": "INSURGENT CUBA: RACE, NATION, AND REVOLUTION, 1868-1898\nby Ada Ferrer\nFrom: Introduction - A Revolution the World Forgot\nCuba's nineteenth-century revolution emerged from a society that seemed highly unrevolutionary-a society that in the political ferment of the Age of Revolution earned the designation \"the ever-faithful isle.\" Between 1776 and 1825, as most of the colonies of North and South America acquired their independence, Cuba remained a loyalist stronghold. The story of Cuba's deviance from the Latin American norm is, by now, a familiar one: in the face of potential social revolution, creole (Cuban-born) elites opted to maintain the colonial bond with Spain. With that bond, they preserved as well a prosperous and expanding sugar industry built on the labor of enslaved Africans. After the Haitian Revolution of 1791, Cuba replaced colonial St. Domingue as the world's largest producer of sugar. Content with their new position in the world market, Cuban planters did not want to emulate Haiti again by becoming the hemisphere's second black republic. Thus colonialism survived in Cuba even as it was defeated to the north and south; and peace and slavery prevailed over insurrection and emancipation.\nThe colony that outlived those Atlantic revolutions was, however, a fractured and fearful one. In 1846, 36 percent of the population lived enslaved. Even well into the nineteenth century, a thriving (and illegal) slave trade continued to replenish the supply of enslaved Africans. More than 595,000 arrived on the island's shores in the last fifty years of the trade, between, 1816 and 1867-about as many as ever arrived in the United States over the whole period of the trade (523,000). About half those slaves labored on sugar plantations. Under brutal work regimes, many continued to speak African languages and to have only minimal contact with the creole world outside the plantation. Free persons of color constituted another 17 percent of the population. Though legally free, they faced numerous constraints on the exercise of that freedom: prohibitions on the consumption of alcohol, bans against marriage to white men and women, and restrictions on the use of public space, to name but a few.\nAt mid-century, then, enslaved and free people of color together constituted a majority of the population, outnumbering those identified as white. That white population, educated in the fear of black and slave rebellion, looked to Haiti and clung to Spain in fear. Haiti's slave revolution served as perpetual example of what might happen to whites in the midst of armed rebellion; but there were smaller, local examples as well. The most famous, perhaps, was the alleged conspiracy of 1843-44, said to comprise a massive number of slaves, free people of color, and abolitionist statement from England. Even as late as 1864, only four years before the outbreak of nationalist insurgency, authorities uncovered a conspiracy in El Cobre in which slaves from seven area farms were allegedly to join forces to \"kill all the whites and make war in order to be free.\" When the would-be rebels were captured and tried in a Spanish military court, translators had to be hired, for the enslaved suspects spoke no Spanish. In this context of slavery and division, the colonial state and many influential white creoles asserted that to risk expelling Spain was to invite a more horrible fate. Cuba, they said, would either be Spanish or it would be Africa; it would be Spanish or it would be another Haiti. For those with the power to decide, the answer came without hesitation: Cuba would remain a Spanish colony. There did exist a handful of prominent intellectuals willing to consider, if hypothetically, the founding of a Cuban nation independent from Spain. But, always, they were careful to specify that the Cuban nationality they desired-\"the only one that any sensible man would concern himself with-[was] a nationality formed by the white race.\"\nIt was onto this world that revolution erupted on October 10, 1868; and when it did, it seemed to defy the fear and division that formed the society from which it emerged. Led initially by a handful of prosperous white men, the revolution placed free men of color in local positions of authority. It also freed slaves, made them soldiers, and called them citizens. And that was just the beginning. The movement formally inaugurated on that day went on to produce three full-fledged anticolonial rebellions over the thirty years that followed: the Ten Years' War (1868-78), the Guerra Chiquita, or Little War (1879-80), and the final War of Independence (1895-98), which ended with the Spanish-American War. All three rebellions were waged by an army unique in the history of the Atlantic world-the Liberation Army, a multiracial fighting force that was integrated at all ranks. Historians estimate that at least 60 percent of that army was composed of men of color. But this was not just an army in which masses of black soldiers served under a much smaller number of white officers, for many black soldiers ascended through the ranks to hold positions as captains, colonels, and generals and to exercise authority over men identified as white. By the end of the thirty-year period, estimates one historian, about 40 percent of the commissioned officers were men of color.\nIf this integrated army was one pillar of the revolution, the other was significantly less tangible. It was a powerful rhetoric of antiracism that began to flourish during the first rebellion and became much more dominant in the years between the legal end of slavery in 1886 and the outbreak of the third and final war in 1895. This new rhetoric made racial equality a foundation of the Cuban nation. Espoused by white, mulatto, and black members of the movement's civilian and military branches, it asserted that the very struggle against Spain had transformed Cuba into a land where there were \"no whites nor blacks, but only Cubans.\" It this condemned racism not as an infraction against individual citizens but as a sin against the life of the would-be nation. Revolutionary rhetoric made racial slavery and racial division concomitant with Spanish colonialism, just as it made the revolution a mythic project that armed black and white men together to form the world's first raceless nation.\nThat this revolution emerged from that slave society makes the story of Cuban independence a remarkable and compelling one. That it emerged from the late-nineteenth-century world makes it seem even more so-for the Cuban revolution unfolded as European and North American thinkers linked biology to progress and divided the world into superior and inferior races. Those ideas, espoused or encouraged by the work of thinkers as diverse as Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer, and Joseph-Arthulr de Bogineau, had a profound influence in Latin America. Yet in that world \"under Darwin's sway,\" the Cuban movement's principal intellectual leader, Jose Marti, professed the equality of all races. Indeed, he went further, boldly asserting that there was no such thing as race. Race, he and other nationalists insisted, was merely a tool used locally to divide the anticolonial effort and globally by men who invented \"textbook races\" in order to justify expansion and empire. Here, then, were voices raised not only in opposition to Spanish rule but also in opposition to the prevailing common sense of their time.\nWhile antiracist presumptions of the revolution defied the central tenets of North Atlantic racial theory, they also differed significantly from racial thinking in former Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Elsewhere in Latin America politicians and intellectuals came to define their nations in multiracial terms, but they did so relying principally on the notion of miscegenation. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, and especially by the first decades of the twentieth, they argued that biological and cultural mixing had produced a new national type: mestizo, mulatto, and uniquely Mexican, Brazilian, Venezuelan. In such formulations, the nation's inclusiveness was the result of sexual and cultural proximity and contact; and, at least in the case of Brazil, that union seemed to reflect something of the imputed openness of the European colonizer, who mixed with and allegedly accepted the native and the African. This was a vision of unity essentially physical and cultural, and a vision in many ways premised on the agency of Europeans and the passivity of the other. In late-nineteenth-century Cuba, by contrast, national unity was cast as the product of joint political action by armed black, mulatto, and white men fighting in a war against the colonizer. The distinction is a meaningful one, for in the case of Cuba, the nation was imagined not as the result of a physical or cultural union but as the product of a revolutionary cross-racial alliance-a formulation that ostensibly acknowledged the political actions of nonwhite men and therefore carried with it powerful implications for racial and national politics in the peace and republic to follow anticolonial insurgency.\n[Emphasis mine, not the author's - J.A.Sierra]",

        "raw_content": "\u201cOnly in Christ can men and women find answers to the ultimate questions that trouble them. Only in Christ can they fully understand their dignity as persons created and loved by God.\u201d\n- Pope St. John Paul II\nPrior to beginning the RCIA process, an individual comes to some knowledge of Jesus Christ, considers his or her relationship with Jesus Christ and is usually attracted in some way to the Catholic Church. This period is known as the Period of Evangelization and Precatechumenate. For some, this process involves a long period of searching; for others, a shorter time. Often, contact with people of faith and a personal faith experience lead people to inquire about the Catholic Church. After a conversation with a priest, or RCIA director, the person, known as an \u201cinquirer,\u201d may seek acceptance into the Order of Catechumens, through the Rite of Acceptance. During this Rite, the inquirer stands amidst the parish community and states that he or she wants to become a baptized member of the Catholic Church. The parish assembly affirms this desire and the inquirer becomes a Catechumen.\nThe Period of the Catechumenate can last for as long as several years or for a shorter time. It depends on how the person is growing in faith, what questions they encounter along the way, and how God leads them on this journey. During this time, the Catechumens consider what God is saying to them in the Scriptures, what changes in their life they need to make to respond to God\u2019s inspiration, and what Baptism in the Catholic Church means. When a Catechumen and the priest and the parish team working with him or her believes the person is ready to make a faith commitment to Jesus in the Catholic Church, the next step is the request for baptism and the celebration of the Rite of Election. Even before the Catechumens are baptized, they have a special relationship to the Church.\nThe Rite of Election includes the enrollment of names of all the Catechumens seeking baptism at the coming Easter Vigil. Typically, on the first Sunday of Lent, the Catechumens, their sponsors and families gather at the cathedral church. The Catechumens publicly express their desire for baptism to the diocesan bishop. Their names are recorded in a book and they are called the Elect.\nThe days of Lent are the final Period of Purification and Enlightenment leading up to the Easter Vigil. Lent is a period of preparation marked by prayer, study, and spiritual direction for the Elect, and prayers for them by the parish communities. The Celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation takes place during the Easter Vigil Liturgy on Holy Saturday when the Elect receives the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist. Now the person is fully initiated into the Catholic Church.\nAs a newly initiated Catholic, they continue their formation and education continue in the Period of the Post Baptismal Catechesis, which is also called Mystagogy. This period continues at least until Pentecost. During the period the newly baptized members reflect on their experiences at the Easter Vigil and continue to learn more about the Scriptures, the Sacraments, and the teachings of the Catholic Church. In addition they reflect on how they will serve Christ and help in the Church\u2019s mission and outreach activities.\nPlease contact Mary Murphy at 330-929-8361 x11 or mmurphy@ihmcfo.org",

If they\u2019re out of your price range, then perhaps a writing residency would be a better fit. Or, check out this list of grants for writers.\nThe 37 writing retreats below take place in 2019; they range in price, location and focus \u2014 so hopefully you\u2019ll be able to find one that fits your needs. (Hint: Though they\u2019re in order by date, many organizers offer multiple retreats. So if there\u2019s a month that works best for you, command-F to search the page for it.)\nUnless otherwise noted, the prices include workshops, shared accommodation, activities and most meals \u2014 but not airfare to and from the destination.\nIf your chosen retreat has already happened, don\u2019t despair; click through to check out next year\u2019s dates, as many of them are annual affairs.\nLastly, I haven\u2019t attended any of the retreats listed, so it\u2019s imperative you do your own research before signing up. Ask to see testimonials or reviews, or search online for blog posts by past participants.\nLeigh Shulman invites you to choose your own retreat dates \u2014 and join her anytime in January or February 2019 in Salta, Argentina.\nOver eight days, you\u2019ll enjoy intensive writing workshops, yoga, a massage and a private apartment in a bustling city center. Up to three people can participate at once, so grab two friends and book a date.\nCost: $1,800 per person (scholarships available).\nRun by the Vancouver and Victoria Schools of Writing and hosted by writing coach and author Kathrin Lake, this retreat is quite economical \u2014 especially for Americans.\nIt offers group classes and one-on-one coaching in writing and publishing.

This is a wonderful list, and I love the way you have explained the difference between writing workshops, residencies, and retreats. I have been offering Writing from the Heart workshop/retreats in a beautiful little village in the Champagne region of France since 2008. What these workshops offer is the chance for writers (whether they think of themselves as writers or not) to \u201cfind the time, the inspiration, and the courage\u201d to write about whatever is most important to them. Some of the participants in our workshops have been professional writers, and some are people who hardly dared to come to a \u201cwriting workshop,\u201d but found the courage to do so, and were glad they did! \ud83d\ude42 What all of them share is a passionate desire to \u201cwrite from the heart\u201d and fear of doing so. I try to encourage, inspire and support them in taking those first steps into writing from the heart\u2026in a place that is very conducive to doing so, and in a safe, nurturing, nonjudgmental environment. I hope that maybe some of your readers will want to know more. If so, they can find out more on our website\nagroxy.com/prodat/proso-136/poltavskaya-obl",

        "raw_content": "The Spirit of Christmas Present\nModern day Christmas takes on many forms, cultures, and ideas. For this story we want to focus on the \u2018present\u2019, that is - the spirit of giving that all forms of the holiday share. From Food Drives to Toy Bashes, the season is full of generosity.\nSeveral unique charity events take place in the area. Over in Cape Girardeau, Wehrenberg Theater has an annual canned food drive in which patrons can donate five cans of food in exchange for movie tickets. (Fifteen cans will get you a pass for another day!) This is sponsored by the Salvation Army, and brings in around 300,000 cans.\nIn Potosi the Angel Tree is a way for people to donate to the community and honor a passed loved one. For $10 the name of an \u2018angel\u2019 is added to the sign below the Christmas tree in the courthouse lawn, and lighted all through December. The proceeds go to local food pantries.\nOur hearts might be warm, but it\u2019s still cold outside. Luckily in Paducah they host a Warming Center in the winter, allowing the homeless a place to stay when the temperature drops below 40 degrees. They also provide evening and morning meals. At the Lighthouse Shelter in Marion, there\u2019s room for up to 45 beds for anyone who needs a roof for the night, this shelter is open all year, no matter the temperature.\nOf course, it\u2019s not quite Christmas before we make sure every child has a present under their tree, and there are plenty of toy drives to go around. Happy Slapowitz in hand with Toys for Tots lets people donate toys while enjoying good food and good music. Each toy acts as a cover charge for participating businesses. Jaycee\u2019s Toybox of Cape Girardeau delivers toys to over 400 family\u2019s, with Santa himself lending a hand. They also support the elderly, putting donations toward pharmaceuticals, groceries, or coats.\nAnimals need loving too, and the Humane Society of Cape Girardeau is always welcoming help. Mac the Pitbull offers his helping paw for the second time this year. As a public figure, Mac is the adorable front-face for \u201cMac\u2019s Fund\u201d which is an advocate for pitbulls. Last year Mac and his owner Rochelle Steffen raised money for the Humane Society, soliciting donations by dressing Mac up as an elf. They gave the animals a merry Christmas full of toys, treats, and blankets. This year Mac will reprise his role as a jolly \u2018ol pup, and asks that you remember his four-legged friends.\nA large salute goes out to those who give back this holiday season. To the volunteers, those who donate, and those who serve, \u201cGod bless you, everyone.\u201d",

Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra had emerged as successful bidders in the first tender of the EESL for 10,000 cars.\nWhen asked about the company's decision to extend the bidding timelines for its second phase of 10,000 cars, he said, \"we are still waiting for the department of heavy industry to finalise its new policy on charging stations before going ahead with a new tender for buying electric cars. We are told that the policy will be out soon.\"\nKumar further said the new policy would incorporate all the prevailing standards on charging stations, thus attracting more players to the expanding market.\nAs per the agreement between EESL and Maharashtra, the company will support the state's vision of generating investment worth Rs 25,000 crore in EV and component manufacturing, assembly enterprises and charging equipment manufacturing.\nThe Maharashtra government's Electric Vehicle and Related Infrastructure Policy 2018 entails increasing the number of registered EVs in the state to 5 lakh and creation of one lakh jobs.",

        "raw_content": "India Energy Storage Alliance - India Seeks Germany\u2019s Push To Promote Renewable Energy\nIndia Seeks Germany\u2019s Push To Promote Renewable Energy\nOn the sidelines of the Hannover Messe industrial trade fair in Germany this year, the results of a survey conducted by the global accounting consultancy firm EY, and research agency Delphi were released, which compared the investment climate in the BRICS countries. More than 90% of the surveyed CEOs and CFOs from leading German high-tech companies stated that India currently offers a better investment climate than its BRICS peers.\nThe study also identified several perceived challenges across high-tech manufacturing sectors and investor groups. Among other things, this included improvement in infrastructure, simplification of regulatory procedures, liberalisation of FDI, and simplification of the tax system.\nInterestingly, the EY/Delphi survey noted in its analysis of several manufacturing sectors that renewable energy sector is among those that offer \u2018greatest convergence for Indo-German collaboration\u2019.\nIndian Prime Minister Modi, who was in Germany on a tour around the Hannover Messe industrial trade fair, vowed to remove unnecessary regulations and procedures to simplify the process of foreign investment in India, as well as to make it easier for other countries to initiate business deals.\nModi further called for Germany\u2019s cooperation in the manufacturing of equipment for renewable energy in India.\nIndian Prime Minister Modi with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel\nIn fact, if one looks back over one year run of the Modi government, energy diplomacy has been a core and consistent agenda of his foreign trips.\nIn the joint statement issued by the two countries on the occasion, Germany resolved to \u201csupport India\u2019s proposed objective of 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022 through technical and financial support for developing comprehensive solar rooftop and green energy corridor projects in India.\u201d\nSeveral Indian companies utilized the opportunity to strike deals with many of their German counterparts. Indian business conglomerate, Essel Group, signed a Memorandum of understanding (MoU) with FeCon GmbH, a subsidiary company of Wind and Sun Technology GmbH for transfer of wind and solar energy technology. According to the Essel management, FeCon GmbH will assist Essel in developing and manufacturing wind turbines in India along with power station and grid equipment for solar and wind energy to suit Indian conditions. As per Mr. Ashok Agarwal, CEO, Essel Infraprojects, the partnership will help the company deliver on its commitment to produce 12500 MW of solar energy and 4000 MW of wind energy in India in the coming year.\nWelspun Renewables Energy Limited, a subsidiary of one of the leading Indian solar power developers, has signed a deal with the German technology firm iPLON for supply of automation systems for the former\u2019s upcoming portfolio of 550 MW solar PV projects. Until now, Welspun has commissioned 328 MW of solar PV projects in various states of India, while several other solar and wind projects are currently under construction. The deal shall provide iPLON entry across India\u2019s rapidly growing solar power industry, across various states including Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat.\nIn another collaboration, Vikram Solar announced partnership, and signed MoUs with Fraunhofer, Meyer Burger and Centrotherm Photovoltaics. These partners will assist Vikram Solar with process improvements in solar cell and module manufacturing, as well as research & development for materials, processes, and device technologies. Vikram has been aiming to rapidly expand its manufacturing capability in a bid to emerge as one of the largest integrated players in the solar industry.\nIn addition, Fraunhofer and Vikram Solar will collaborate to establish a solar academy in India, which will serve to impart technical knowledge, expertise, and practical training in solar energy systems. The Indian government has announced plans to train around 50,000 technicians in areas related to solar power.\nIndia is also in talks with the German development bank KfW for funding worth \u20ac1 billion to expand the rooftop solar power infrastructure in India. Of the 100 GW solar power target set for 2022, about 40 GW is expected to come from rooftop solar. KfW has also been backing up India\u2019s efforts to upgrade its electricity grid infrastructure. The project known as the \u2018Green Energy Corridor\u2019 plans to strengthen transmission infrastructure in eight states to absorb more clean power. \u20ac750 million have already been committed in the past two for financing the interstate and intrastate projects under the project.\nGermany is also providing technical assistance for forecasting, balancing, market design and network management in connection with the grid integration of renewable power under Indo-German Technical Cooperation.\nRecently, the French Development Agency (Agence Fran\u00e7aise de D\u00e9veloppement, or AFD)extended a credit line of \u20ac1 billion over the next three years for sustainable infrastructure and urban development in India.",

        "title": "Donor Mark Habeeb: Inspiration & Positivity that Drive Change | indiangiver",
        "raw_content": "Donor Mark Habeeb: Inspiration & Positivity that Drive Change\nFirst Nations appreciates the ongoing support and dedication of donors Mark Habeeb and his wife, Wendy Mills.\nLongtime First Nations supporter Mark Habeeb knows what it takes to change the world: A bottom-up, top-down approach that tackles the big picture and the everyday details. When it comes to uplifting Native communities, he sees the need to both change the overall narrative of Native Americans and create opportunities for every child born on a reservation. This dual approach is what drew this Washington, D.C.-based educator to First Nations and continues to fuel his dedication.\nRooted in Education\nBorn and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Mark went on to graduate from Georgetown University, and then obtained his master\u2019s degree and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins. He served as an international consultant and foreign policy advisor to a U.S. senator before becoming a professor at Georgetown\u2019s School of Foreign Service, focusing on negotiation and conflict resolution. Mark has written several books on international affairs, world history and culture.\nThis broad educational and professional background has given him an enhanced ear to issues in humanity and the plight of marginalized populations. One of those populations has been Native Americans.\n\u201cThere\u2019s so many conflicts in the world that are based on identity \u2013 over who people are,\u201d explains Mark. \u201cFundamentally it\u2019s race and prejudice based on an underlying theory that some humans are worth more than other humans.\u201d\nMark notes that prejudice in America dates back to \u201cDay 1,\u201d when Native people were declared illegal in their own land. \u201cYou often hear slavery described as America\u2019s original sin. While yes, that was horrific, I would say that the original sin was the genocide of Native Americans,\u201d he asserts.\nWith this in mind, Mark knew he wanted to give something back to Native American communities, and he sought an organization that aligned with his approach to effecting change.\nCommunity-Level Empowerment\nWendy, right, with artist Maria Romero, a potter, during the First Nations Southwest Tour in 2017.\nFor Mark, First Nations\u2019 focus on enriching and sustaining Native cultures and traditions through investments in communities was especially appealing. \u201cBecause when you empower individuals and communities, you dramatically increase the potential for impact and sustainability.\n\u201cEven if you think about it politically,\u201d he says, \u201cYour local school board actually has more influence over your child\u2019s growth than the U.S. Department of Education. The local level is where things happen. And that\u2019s the bulk of First Nations\u2019 work.\u201d\nMark and his wife, Wendy \u2013 who shares his admiration for First Nations\u2019 work \u2013 were able to see the empowerment in action when they joined First Nations on its Southwest Tour of some of First Nations\u2019 grantees in the Santa Fe, New Mexico, area. First Nations conducts the tours to show first-hand how First Nations supports homegrown solutions to community needs. Here, Mark and Wendy could see the preservation of cultures, language and food, which Mark says sustains communities and makes them interesting.\nBroad-Level Shift\nAt the same time, Mark sees the need to address racist policies and attitudes that prevent opportunity and progress. He refers to the First Nations-led \u201cReclaiming Native Truth\u201d study conducted with support of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and others that set out to transform the \u201cenforced invisibility of and racist narratives about Native Americans through unprecedented national research.\u201d\nOne of the things the study showed was that many people polled didn\u2019t think Indians exist anymore. He said he was disappointed and shocked by that finding, but that it is indicative of what Americans are taught to believe.\n\u201cThe lack of awareness and respect shows how racism is still rampant in our country \u2013 against Native Americans, blacks and anyone whose skin is not white,\u201d he says. \u201cPeople think we\u2019ve worked through it, but we haven\u2019t.\u201d\nMark talks candidly about what he sees regularly in Washington, D.C. \u2013 Outrage over racist remarks by an American president, while at the same time city-wide cheers for the Washington NFL team with a racist name. The accepted use of such a derogatory word shows how enduring and pervasive racism is in our lives, he says, noting how the imagery of Native Americans is portrayed in our advertising, food products, cigarettes and mascots.\n\u201cIt\u2019s just a seed that keeps growing,\u201d he says. \u201cIt again stems from the belief that some people\u2019s lives are worth more than others. And the only way to fight this racism is to change the narrative from the top down.\u201d\nA Combined Strategy\nGeorge Toya describes the greenhouse operation at Namb\u00e9 Pueblo during the Southwest Tour, while Wendy, a Master Gardener (closest to George), listens and takes notes.\nStill, Mark concedes that shifting the narrative at the national level is not going to solve the effects of racism in the immediate moment. \u201cIf they changed the racist nicknames tomorrow, it\u2019s not going to change the lives of people on reservations,\u201d he says. \u201cYou have to do both.\u201d\nMark sees racism as something based on a fear of people who are different from ourselves. We see difference as frightening or as something less good, he explains. But instead, those differences should be celebrated. \u201cThat\u2019s what makes our species interesting. Our expression of art, music and culture make us different from any other creature,\u201d he says. \u201cThose differences shouldn\u2019t be seen as a source of stereotyping or a human flaw. They\u2019re universal, and they should be celebrated.\u201d\nAnd this is another reason he and Wendy gravitate to First Nations.\n\u201cThey approach things in a celebratory way,\u201d he says. \u201cWith First Nations, we\u2019re going to own our narrative.

        "raw_content": "The Ganges or the Ganga is more than just a river. It is an entity in itself. Countless empires have made the bank their home. Some major religions call it their sacred place. More than 200 million people depend on the river. The entire country has a direct or indirect relationship with this river.\nIn the last article, we were travelling along the river and had ended up at Varanasi. On the way, we explored glaciers and rafted down rapids. We explored some hidden gems and some of the more famous architectural wonders. We gazed in awe at the span of the river and the wildlife that if harboured.\nNow, we will move further down from Varanasi. More rivers will flow into the Ganga. On the way, we will explore more great cities. We will encounter more history. We will look at more wildlife. We will marvel at more ancient and sometimes hidden cultures. As we travel through this second half to the Ganga Sagar, we will see a different side to this river.\nThe state of Bihar was home to some of the most powerful kingdoms up to the 1st Century BCE. The state was also home to Buddhism and Jainism \u2013 two religions known for their non-violent nature. The state also houses some amazing archaeological sites and was home to one of the first democracies in the world and some of the earliest universities in the world \u2013 dating back to the 8th Century.\nThe first city that you would relate to Bihar is Patna \u2013 a capital city that has had a history of more than 2500 years. Being a capital city, there are a great many sights to see. These include museums, Stupas and Sufi places of pilgrimage.\nKhuda Baksh Library\nHowever, what we should look out for is the Khuda Baksh Library. A private library that was opened to the public in 1891, the Khuda Baksh library has over 21,000 manuscripts that date back to the Mughal era. It was built when Khuda Baksh, a bibliophile, added to his inherited collection of 1400 manuscripts and built them up to 4000 at that time. These include biographies of Mughal emperors with their signatures, miniature paintings and books on military accounts. The library is a designated manuscript conservation centre and definitely a great place for the traveller who loves to read.\nSee Also - Odisha\n25km away from Patna, on the other side of the Ganga and at the confluence of the Ganga and the Gandak lies the town of Sonepur. An otherwise sleepy town, it dons a completely different personality for a month between full moons in November and December. As with many religions, the full moon or Kartik Poornima is considered auspicious and prayers are offered at the Harihar Nath temple. However, the town is then known for more than just that.\nDuring this month, the largest cattle fair and a grey market is held in Sonepur. The fair\u2019s history dates back to 8th Century BCE when Chandragupta Maurya needed elephants and horses for his troops. At that time, traders from all the way to Central Asia used to arrive for the fair. Even today, the fair attracts buyers from East Asia. On sale are cattle, Persian horses, the occasional camel, donkeys, ponies and other domestic animals. A separate market is built for elephants \u2013 though the sale of elephants is no longer legal. Exotic and smuggled birds also arrive at the month-long fair. The fair makes for great opportunities for the intrepid photographer as horse races, cattle races and various other events are regular fixtures at the fair.\nThere is a lot more to explore yet in Bihar \u2013 including the universities of Nalanda and Rajgir, Buddhist stupas and Sikh temples. However, we are running out of time and need to travel further towards the sea towards West Bengal and eventually, the Ganga Sagar.\nThe Ganga enters West Bengal at a place called Sahibganj and passes around 35km from Malda. The river then divides into the Hoogly that flows further South towards Kolkata and its mouth in the Sunderbans. The other division is the Padma which meets the Brahmaputra coming from China to form the Sunderbans of Bangladesh.\nWhile the Sunderbans are considered to be the mouth of the Ganga, its drainage already starts in West Bengal and spans both West Bengal and Bangladesh. The total area is a little over four times that of Tasmania. We will travel through India though to the last bit.\nThis last bit flows close to Malda. Known for its mango plantations, Malda is an 18th Century town that traces its history back earlier to being the capital of West Bengal. The mosques and old monuments of old Malda are definitely worth a visit \u2013 as are the silk farms there.\nThe river is known as Bhagirathi here and then flows through Murshidabad. Known for terracotta temples and silk, Murshidabad was the capital of West Bengal before it was shifted by the British to Kolkata (Calcutta). The place is known for the Hazaar Duari Palace. Hazaar Duari gets its name from the thousand doors of the palace of which more than 800 are faux doors \u2013 doors with a wall behind to confuse invading soldiers.\nThe Ganga eventually makes its way through the erstwhile Danish colony of Serampore, the French Colony of Chandennagore. It then flows through the British capital of Kolkata before making its way through to the Sundarbans and eventually, Ganga Sagar.\nKnown to be the home of one of the incarnations of Vishnu, Ganga Sagar is one of the places where the river enters the Bay of Bengal. Once a year, Ganga Sagar plays host to the second largest religious gathering in the world \u2013 the Sagar Mela. This is where the river meets the sea. Having travelled from the mountains of the Northern Himalayas, the Ganga has fed hundreds of millions of people and supported some great cities. This is where the Ganga flows into the Bay of Bengal. The force of the river in the mountains settles into a nurturing entity in the cities and ends unobtrusively in the sea. Nothing else.\nFeatured Photo by Rambling Eye\nbiharFestivalsIndiaKolkataTempleTemplesThings to doWest Bengal",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Get Inked \u00bb Do Your Friends Really \u201cGet\u201d You? Our Brains Say Yes\nWhat if science said that our friends were really meant to be our closest companions? This is exactly what one study appears to indicate, so think again next time you wonder how you got so close to your buds.\nA study published in Nature Communications by researchers from Dartmouth College suggests that we\u2019re friends with our closest pals because we share an uncanny amount of similarities in our brains (\u201cSimilar neural responses predict friendship,\u201d 2018).\n\u201cThe notion that people tend to resemble their friends is an enduring intuition, as evidenced by the centuries-old adage, \u2018birds of a feather flock together,\u2019\u201d wrote the authors of the report. \u201cResearch has borne out this intuition: social ties are forged at a higher-than-expected rate between individuals of the same age, gender, ethnicity, and other demographic categories. This assortativity in friendship networks is referred to as homophily and has been demonstrated across diverse contexts and geographic locations, including online social networks.\u201d\nBut do \u201cbirds of a feather\u201d really \u201cflock together?\u201d This is what the group wanted to find out, and they chose to do so by closely examining the brain.\n\u201cHere we tested the proposition that neural responses to naturalistic audiovisual stimuli are more similar among friends than among individuals who are farther removed from one another in a real-world social network,\u201d wrote the authors of the report. \u201cMeasuring neural activity while people view naturalistic stimuli, such as movie clips, offers an unobtrusive window into individuals\u2019 unconstrained thought processes as they unfold.\u201d\nForty-two students were given four pieces of footage to watch: a clip of America\u2019s Funniest Home Videos, footage of an astronaut at the International Space Station, a clip of a wedding ceremony, and footage of the CNN show \u201cCrossfire.\u201d Then, they had MRI scans to observe their brain activity.\nThe research showed that among subjects who were friends, the same parts of the brain lit up while watching the specified footage. Notably, those sections related to motivation, learning, affective processing and memory.\n\u201cOur results suggest that friends process the world around them in exceptionally similar ways,\u201d said lead author Carolyn Parkinson (\u201cYour brain reveals who your friends are,\u201d 2018).\nSenior author Thalia Wheatley goes on to say that it\u2019s no surprise that our connections to each other go back to the human brain.\n\u201cWe are a social species and live our lives connected to everybody else,\u201d says Wheatley. \u201cIf we want to understand how the human brain works, then we need to understand how brains work in combination\u2013 how minds shape each other.\u201d\nBrueck, Hilary. \u201cScientists say they can predict who you\u2019re friends with based on brain patterns alone.\u201d Retrieved February 5, 2018, from http://www.businessinsider.com/brains-friends-are-more-alike-scientists-say-2018-1.\n\u201cYour brain reveals who your friends are.\u201d Retrieved February 5, 2018, from https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2018-01/dc-ybr012618.php.\nParkinson, Carolyn. \u201cSimilar neural responses predict friendship.\u201d Retrieved February 5, 2018, from https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02722-7.",

        "raw_content": "Breaking down Charlie Morton\u2019s performance to snap Pirates 10 game losing streak\nTuesday, August 09, 2011 / by John Perrotto / / Charlie Morton, Inside Access, Pittsburgh Pirates, San Francisco Giants / 0 comments\nWhat\u2019s the best way to stop a losing streak? How about by throwing a shutout?\nIf the other team doesn\u2019t score, you\u2019re eventually going to score a run and win, even a team with as anemic of an offense as the Pirates.\nCharlie Morton gave the Pirates the pitching performance they desperately needed Monday night as he threw eight scoreless innings and combined with Jose Veras on a six-hit shutout in a 5-0 victory over the defending World Series champions Giants at San Francisco to mercifully end a 10-game losing streak.\nThe skid represented one of the most demoralizing stretches since the Pirates\u2019 streak of 18 consecutive losing seasons in 1993. During the 10 days in which the Pirates lost three games to Philadelphia, four to the Chicago Cubs and three to San Diego, they went from being 1 1/2 games back in the National League Central to 10 games behind first-place Milwaukee. The Pirates also dropped from five games over .500 to five games under.\nHowever, Morton ended the frustration and here are some reasons why he was able to raise his record to 9-6 and lower his ERA to 3.56 just a year after going 2-12 with a 7.57 ERA.\n*He compensated for his Achillies heel of struggling against left-handed hitters by dominating right-handers. Righties went 0-for-14 and 34 of his 48 pitches to them were strikes. They were 0-for-8 against his sinker and 0-for-6 against the curveball as he threw 25 of 35 sinkers and 9 of 12 curves for strikes.\nLeft-handers went 6-for-15 but Morton was able to limit their damage. Lefties are hitting .384 against him this season in 211 at-bats while he has held righties to a .197 mark in 279 at-bats.\n*He did not panic when he fell behind in the count. Morton threw just 13 first-pitch strikes to the 32 batters he faced, including only 6 of 18 against lefties. Yet despite throwing strike one in just 41 percent of the Giants\u2019 plate appearance, Morton was able to put up eight zeroes on the AT&Park scoreboard.\nPrior to Monday, opposing hitters had a .359 batting average against Morton in 156 at-bats when ahead in the count, compared to a .226 mark in 146 ABs when behind.\n*He was able to get outs when he needed them. The Giants were 2-for-15 with runners on base and hitless in nine at-bats with runners in scoring position while hitting into inning-ending double plays in the fourth and fifth.\nThe soft-spoken and introspective Morton has long had the reputation of being soft and opponents were hitting .281 with runners on base and .256 with runners in scoring position prior to Monday. However, he was able to bear down in pivotal situations in what very well could have been the Pirates\u2019 most pivotal game of the season.\nJohn Perrrotto has covered the Pirates and Major League Baseball for 24 years.",

        "raw_content": "Internationally Acclaimed Violinist and Pianist Visit Boston, NYC, Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco to Perform Repertoire of Brahms, Stravinsky, P\u00e4rt, Franck, Schnittke and Shostakovich\nIn February 2012, violinist Vladimir Spivakov and pianist Olga Kern will embark on a rare joint recital tour in the United States, visiting top concert halls in Boston, New York City, Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco. This is the powerful duo\u2019s first ever joint recital tour outside of Europe, and they have created a dynamic program of works by Brahms, Stravinsky, P\u00e4rt, Franck and Schnittke. At the Carnegie Hall concert only, Spivakov and Kern will be joined by celebrated cellist and 2012 Musical America Artist of the Year, David Finkel of the Emerson String Quartet for a special performance of Shostakovich\u2019s Piano Trio No. 2. (complete repertoire list below).\nThroughout his career, spanning nearly four decades, violinist Vladimir Spivakov has been praised by critics for his deep insight into composers\u2019 intentions, the richness and beauty of his tone, his fine phrasing and nuance, his emotional impact on his audiences, and his refined artistry and intelligence. Mr. Spivakov made his United States recital debut in 1975 and international engagements quickly followed. He has performed as soloist with the most important orchestras in the world, and collaborated with some of the 20th century\u2019s most eminent conductors, including Svetlanov, Kondrashin, Temirkanov, Rostropovich, Bernstein, Leinsdorf, Ozawa, Maazel, Giulini, Masur, Chailly, Conlon and Abbado. In addition to performing major traditional works, Mr. Spivakov has continually treated his audiences to new and innovative repertoire, both in chamber music and orchestral works. Mr. Spivakov plays a violin by Stradivari. Spivakov is equally renowned as Conductor and Founder of the Moscow Virtuosi and as Founder, Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the National Philharmonic of Russia.\nOlga Kern is the striking young Russian Gold Medal winner of the 2001 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. Her performance of the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 made her the first woman to achieve this distinction in over 30 years. Kern made her New York debut at Carnegie's Zankel Hall in May, 2004, and eleven days later returned to New York to play again, this time on the stage of the Isaac Stern Auditorium at the invitation of Carnegie Hall. Ms. Kern is a magnetic performer with one of the most prodigious piano techniques of any young pianist. Last season, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Van Cliburn Foundation honored Ms. Kern\u2019s Cliburn victory 11 years ago with a co-presentation of her talents in March and April of 2011. Also in 2011, Kern performed with the symphonies of Detroit, Anchorage, Nashville, Dallas, Virginia, St. Louis, Rochester, Pittsburgh, Madison, Johnson City, Syracuse and Colorado. Additionally in North America, she has been invited to perform at Longwood Gardens, the Sanibel Music Festival, the Winter Park Bach Festival, the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, and Drake University. Ms. Kern records exclusively with Harmonia Mundi, and her Chopin Sonatas CD was released in 2010.\nVladimir Spivakov and Olga Kern 2012 Recital Tour\nFebruary 17 Boston, MA - Sanders Theatre\nFebruary 18 New York, NY - Carnegie Hall\nFebruary 19 Chicago, IL - Orchestra Hall\nFebruary 25 Seattle, WA - Benaroya Hall\nFebruary 26 San Francisco, CA - Herbst Theatre\nJohannes Brahms, Violin Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, op. 108\nIgor Stravinsky, \u2018Suite Italienne\u2019\nArvo P\u00e4rt, Spiegel im Spiegel (dedicated to Vladimir Spivakov)\nCesar Franck, Sonata in A Major\nProgram \u2013 February 18 (Carnegie Hall):\nAlfred Schnittke, Prelude in Memoriam Dmitri Shostakovich\nDmitri Shostakovich, Piano Trio No. 2 in E Minor, Op.67 violin (with David Finkel)\nChamber Tour\nmickeyhouse said\u2026\nTo brush up on your classical music before this wonderful concert, try downloading the Ipad applications iClassics!

A total of 102 university students who attended Dokuz Eyl\u00fcl University Science Teacher Training and took general chemistry laboratory course participated in the research during the spring semester of 2010-2011 academic year. In the general chemistry laboratory course, which has 2 hours of credit, video observation was made for 14 weeks. The students recorded the experiments in the chemistry laboratory class for 10 weeks with mobile phones and arranged them and shared them on social networks. In this study, the effect of temperature on the reaction rate and the effect of concentration on the reaction rate were systematically investigated. It is planned to examine the changes in the scientific process skills of the students for a period of 5 weeks between the two experiments mentioned. 102 students were divided into 6 groups and five groups were formed in each group. Each group recorded approximately 45 minutes of video footage and then produced a 5 minute short video presentation from these records. The original experiment video duration average for the reaction rate experiment of the temperature was calculated as \"359.68 min\", and the average duration of the regular short experiment video session for Facebook was \"131.66 min\". Likewise, the duration of the original video recording \"268.02 min\" of the Effect of the Effect of the Reaction on the Rate of Reaction was determined, and the regular short experiment video duration recording for Facebook was \"131.66 min\". Overall, total original video duration recording was found to be \"627.70 min\" and total regular short video duration recording for \"Facebook\" was recorded as \"286.76 min\". A student from each group took video images of their experiments with their visual media tools. It was also noted that the researcher had to work with a group of randomly selected groups with a fixed camera. At the end of the lesson, the groups were asked to submit the video images they recorded during the experiment, then to share them on social sharing networks on the internet and to present edited video images. The studies of the groups were recorded in the observation form developed by the research. In addition, images obtained from mobile phones are transformed and interpreted in the form of appropriate observation and evaluation form for the purpose of the subject. The validity and reliability of the study were made by correlating the formatted data obtained from the observation-evaluation form of the fixed video images, the formatted data obtained from the observation-evaluation form of the video images of the students, and the data recorded by the researcher observation during the course. As a result, prospective teachers are not considered sufficient in the scientific process such as \"Regular recording of the table of measurements at the end of each measurement\", \"Recording the observations outside the experiment variables together with the experiment variables in the experiment\", \"The ability to compare and correlate measurement data\", \"To associate the measurement data with the related concepts in the tables on which they prepare and to divide them into groups\", \"Performing mathematical operations on data, drawing graphs of data and establishing relationships between variables, comparing processed data and producing a result of its own\". The reasons for the inadequacy of these skills may be that \"the content of the curriculum is lacking in these skills\" and \"the textbooks used do not address these skills\". As a general comparison result; these inadequacies are also seen in other countries, and the problem of these skills is a global problem.\nSCIENTIFIC PROCESS SKILLS , VIDEO, SMARTPHONE",

        "title": "2L OCI Success: Taking Advantage of Alumni Contacts",
        "raw_content": "Traditionally, attending a top law school and rocking 1L exams was the credential power punch that gave law students the greatest chance of securing a summer offer from 2L OCI. The better the law school you attended, and the higher your class rank after 1L year, the easier it was for firms to extend you an offer. Often times, depending on the actual strength of this power punch combination, the interview was simply a formality. Although this is still generally the case, in today\u2019s extremely competitive legal market the extent to which this combination ensures a successful result has diminished. With so many quality candidates competing over a smaller piece of the pie, very few law students are in the type of position that guarantees anything. Therefore, very few are in a position where the interview may simply be a formality. Instead, this credential surplus has created a situation where the focus of law firms has shifted to an even greater degree towards the interview stage. The interview, now more than ever, is the decisive battleground where equally-credentialed candidates have the chance to falter or succeed. This necessarily means that interview strategy is crucial, but there is something else that you can do to improve your 2L OCI chances: a form of short-term networking prior to 2L OCI that involves alumni contacts.\nAlthough successful networking is a long-term process that you should be engaged in as early as possible, this is something that anyone can do immediately prior to OCI. The method is very simple. After you create your firm bid list and submit it to your law school, it won\u2019t take long before you receive the results with your interview schedule. Once you have your schedule in front of you, you should immediately go to the website of every firm on your interview list and find several alumni from your law school (if there are none, look at undergrad alumni or just email anybody). Contact them by email and ask if it is possible to schedule an informational phone interview with them to get some more substantive information about the firm. More specifically, your email should be short but should indicate that you are a law student at X law school, you are heading into OCI, you are very excited about your interview with the firm, and you wish to learn a little bit more about the firm in order to better understand whether it may be the right fit for you. A sample email may be something along the following lines:\nI am an incoming 2L at X law school. I am very interested in your firm and have been fortunate enough to receive an interview during 2L OCI. If you have some free time, I would be very grateful if we could arrange a short phone call that would allow me to learn more about the firm and your particular experience. Please let me know if that would be possible.\nThis is just a sample, but anything along these lines will work. The key is to keep it simple and indicate you have already been chosen by the firm for an interview, as this increases the chance the person will actually respond to you. You should be focusing on associates, they are the most likely to respond and have the time to speak with you. However, if you can throw in a partner and get lucky, even better. What\u2019s most important is that you hold this informational interview with at least one person at the firm before your OCI interview. This gives you two distinct advantages over your peers. One, you will know much more about the firm than the students parroting lines from the firm\u2019s website. This will automatically make the interview flow smoother. Two, you will convince the interviewer you are legitimately interested in the firm. The extent and validity of your interest will be clear when you can more confidently discuss the firm and talk about your phone call with X lawyer. Bonus points if the interviewer is a friend of the person you spoke with over the phone. In an ocean of classmates without this added advantage, this simple method will allow you to increase your odds of receiving a callback. With that said, make sure you target your emails. Do not send out emails to tons of lawyers at once. Send out an email to a few, and see if they respond. If they do not respond over the course of a couple of days, send out another few to a few other lawyers at the firm. You have to remember, you\u2019re sending emails to busy lawyers and you don\u2019t want to wind up looking foolish by emailing too many of them. If you get to speak to more than one person, that\u2019s a bonus.\nThe informational phone interview should be treated just like any other informational interview. Make sure you\u2019ve researched everything you can about the firm from its website and other sources prior to the call, and simply hold a conversation with the lawyer. Ask about the different practice area strengths, what a day in the life is like, and ask questions about the lawyer\u2019s own career. Anything goes. You can also use this phone call as interview practice, especially by asking the same types of questions you will ask the interviewer at the actual interview. The key is to get some more substantive knowledge thanks to your phone conversation, and display this knowledge at the actual interview. By the way, to the extent you name drop, you need to do so discreetly when you\u2019re on the subject of something like \u201cWhy this firm?\u201d The person you spoke with is not your gateway to success, it\u2019s all about the ammunition you gain from the phone conversation.\nThis method can be executed on a greater list of firms than those with which you have an actual interview, but how far you want to stretch this is on you. You may or may not receive interviews with other firms, so the cost/benefit analysis depends on your particular circumstances.

        "title": "Transformation and Jamie Reid",
        "raw_content": "Transformation and Jamie Reid\nYesterday I was looking at this page from the 6 February 1977 edition of the Sunday People:\nThe reason it's framed is because it's the actual page which was the source material Jamie Reid photocopied in order to create one of the most iconic British images of the late 20th Century:\nNow, pretty much everyone of a certain age in this country loves this image. It captures something of the national character perfectly. But until yesterday I had no idea of where it had come from. The original photo of the Queen was from an opinion piece, the headline of which read: \"On her Jubilee day, how the Queen may see us: SHE'S DONE HER JOB... HAVE WE?'\nThe full gist of the writer's argument has been lost, alas, as only the top half of the article remains, but the general idea was to question whether the British people, in the year of the Queen's silver jubilee, are worthy of such a perfect monarch. The writer, who was clearly very angry, and also mad, took the view that his fellow Brits must be something of an disappointment to the monarch.\nKnowing this makes me see that image in a whole new light. What Jamie Reid did seems like pure alchemy to me - he took dirt and turned it into gold. Through an act of creative imagination, the intention of the original article was not just negated or subverted - it was transformed into an era-defining icon that was the antithesis of everything that the original article stood for. The original author's deepest fears were blown up into a Godzilla-sized monster, because to do so was hilarious, and because the original author was asking for it.\nI wonder if the unnamed author ever realised that Jamie Reid's iconic image was, in part, his fault?\nAll this fascinated me because I've just spent a month writing a short ebook on the monarchy, for Random House in Canada. This will be out in June, I think. It is in theory a pro-monarchy book, but it offers a perspective on monarchy that is more likely to get me lynched by royalists than republicans. Looking at these images again, I started to wonder if I would have written the ebook I have just written if I hadn't grown up in a country where Jamie Reid's image was ubiquitous. And if I'm honest, I don't think that I would have. It is a powerful image indeed that has such a transformative effect on your relationship with your national identity.\nThe knowledge of where that portrait came from is, in this context, the icing on the cake. If it is possible to take an article like that and, through alchemy, create such a transformative icon, then what else is the creative imagination capable of?\nThe reason why I was looking through Jamie Reid's work was because I was with Daisy Eris Campbell, and Jamie Reid will be working with her on her Cosmic Trigger play and festival in November. Keep an eye on facebook.com/cosmictriggerplay for updates on that.\nUntil then, here's a piece of Jamie's more recent work to leave you with...\nCosmic Trigger God Save The Queen Jamie Reid Sex Pistols",

        "title": "Tolkien's Gift, by John Garth",
        "raw_content": "Tolkien\u2019s gift\nThis article was originally published as an op-ed in the Evening Standard on 12 December 2003. The previous day the final part of Peter Jackson's movie version of The Lord of the Rings had its world premiere. The following day the book itself won the BBC's Big Read vote for the U.K.'s best-loved book.\n\u201cTolkien\u2019s gift to us is his love for older traditions. He has jogged the world\u2019s memory\u201d\n\u201cDescent to Rivendell\u201d\t\u00a9 John Howe\nThe Lord of the Rings must be one of the most comprehensively dismissed books ever written. Critics have queued up since its publication nearly 50 years ago to denounce it. But J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s story has outlived one generation of critics, and will certainly outlive another. The coming week will see it doubly celebrated.\nNot only does The Return of the King open at cinemas on Wednesday, completing Peter Jackson\u2019s movie version, but Tolkien\u2019s work looks set to take the crown of the BBC\u2019s Big Read vote to decide the nation\u2019s most popular book.\nOf all the novels written in the last century, it now seems one of the most likely to be read for both entertainment and enlightenment in centuries to come. Like Homer\u2019s Odyssey, it is for all time.\nWhy is it such a great and lasting work? Because Tolkien\u2019s story bestrides the chasm between the ancient world and ourselves. His Middle-earth and the modern world are twins, born at the same time, in the First World War.\nModernism, with its experiments with form and its contemporary social focus, emerged then as the dominant literary mode of the 20th century. Modernists such as T.S. Eliot and James Joyce, and war poets like Robert Graves and Wilfred Owen with their accounts of incapacitated suffering, set the tone for what was subsequently considered to be valuable writing.\nOriginally rejected as an outsider in this literary world, Tolkien has suffered the fate ever since of being deemed beneath consideration.\nThe author only acquired a wide audience nearly two decades after the Great War, with The Hobbit, a deceptively simple children\u2019s adventure yarn. And nearly two decades later again came The Lord of the Rings, and its summary dismissal by critics such as Edmund Wilson, who called it \u201cjuvenile trash\u201d.\nHow could they have got it so wrong? Tolkien knew what they did not \u2014 the power of story to ingrain itself in the heart. He acknowledges this in The Lord of the Rings, when his hero strays into an enchanted wood. \u201cWhen he had gone and passed again into the outer world, still Frodo the wanderer from the Shire would walk there, upon the grass among elanor and niphredil in fair Lothl\u00f3rien.\u201d\n\u201cTolkien knew what his detractors did not \u2014 the power of story to ingrain itself in the heart\u201d\nMany pundits seem not to have absorbed very much of the book at all. It has to be doubted whether some have even made it past the opening chapters, with their hobbit parties and satirical whimsy.\nBut even when they have read on, critics have used the wrong yardstick to measure Tolkien\u2019s worth. Intoxicated by modernism and its claim exclusively to represent the modern world, they have simply forgotten the value of other modes of storytelling.\nTolkien\u2019s gift to us is his love for older traditions, particularly the epic and the fairy tale, which he transformed with a masterly hand into a narrative for his own time. He has jogged the world\u2019s memory.\nHe once said that his love of fairy tale was woken to full life by war, meaning that it was only here that he discovered the literary\nreflection of all war\u2019s fantastical horrors and its transfigurations of ordinary men into something like heroes.\nThe epic mode sets him on a high seat overlooking the mechanised slaughterhouse of the Somme, so that he could see the First World War not as a conflict between belligerent nations, but as one skirmish in the ongoing attempt by \u201ccivilisation\u201d to\nenslave the human spirit and the natural world for material gain. In contrast to the classic Great War poets, with their vivid close-ups, Tolkien had started to make sense of the chaotic shambles of the war years.\nFrom a broader perspective, the irony of life in the static front lines revealed not only suffering, but also the ennoblement of the individual. All this Tolkien poured into The Lord of the Rings.\nPeter Jackson deserves credit for bringing an even wider audience to these themes, and for translating those epic and fairytale modes onto the screen for the first time successfully. But anyone tempted to watch the films in order to pass judgment on Tolkien\u2019s story without reading the book should beware.\nJackson is prone to elaborate and exaggerate. In doing so, he squanders many of Tolkien\u2019s finest gems, mangles important plot lines and abandons the delicate restraint which allows this complex literary fantasy to maintain its lasting grip on the reader.\n\u201cIn his story of marvels, the most marvellous thing is the human spirit, often foolish and vain but also tenacious and generous to the point of self-sacrifice\u201d\nTolkien\u2019s power does not lie simply in imaginatively repeopling the world with elves and dwarves, or even in introducing hobbits and the tree-herding ents. In his story of marvels, the most marvellous thing is the human spirit, often foolish and vain but also tenacious and generous to the point of self-sacrifice. The spirit is tested in a world not so different from our own, in which each element of fantasy relates to reality as if part of a huge symbolist tapestry.\nLike all great artists, Tolkien has not only drawn the world around him: he has altered it. Today, millions of readers carry his landscapes, characters, incidents and themes in their thoughts as they go about their day-today lives.\nHis story of the changing world, in which loss and death are inevitable, celebrates all that is in danger of being swept away. In a world so despairing and disenchanted, he has succeeded in reminding us of hope and enchantment.\nIf his book takes the crown at the Big Read tomorrow, it is not because of any imagined orchestration of votes by his hardcore fanbase, but because he has found a quiet and a lasting place to dwell inside millions of readers.\n\u00a9 Evening Standard 2003.

The first true opera produced in England was The Siege of Rhodes (1656), produced by William Davenant and written by a group of five composers. Davenant received a patent from King Charles II to build a theater \"wherein tragedies, comedies, plays, operas, music, scenes and all other entertainment of the stage...\" were to be performed. Davenant's successor, John Rich, in 1728 had in one of the great hits in English operatic history, John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. Its profits allowed Rich to build the Theatre Royal at Covent Garden, site of an old convent (hence the name), which opened on December 7, 1732, with Congreve's The Way of the World. The theater at Covent Garden was the most popular London opera house, specializing in English opera, often including spoken dialogue.\nA fire in 1808 destroyed the theater. The second Theatre Royal building opened September 18, 1809, with a production of Shakespeare's Macbeth and a musical piece called The Quaker. The Theatre Royal was better known as a theatrical venue than an operatic one until Michael Costa, conductor of Her Majesty's Theatre at the Haymarket, walked out, and took most of his musicians and singers to Covent Garden. Management remodeled the house for Costa's Royal Italian Opera, reopening with Rossini's Semiramide on April 6, 1847. The theater lasted just under nine more years, burning again on March 5, 1856.\nIt was rebuilt and reopened on May 15, 1858, with Meyerbeer's Les Huguenots. In 1892 it was renamed the Royal Opera House. It was used by a variety of different local and visiting opera companies. During World War I, the house was requisitioned for use as a furniture warehouse. It returned to operatic and theatrical use, but in summers was often used as a dance hall.\nThe finances of the hall and its artistic companies were precarious during the Depression. During World War II, the Mecca Caf\u00e9s Company turned it into a full-time dance hall. Mecca was on the verge of extending its lease for another five years when the music publishers Boosey & Hawkes acquired the lease and established the Covent Garden Opera Trust to run it. The post-War Labour government new arts council backed re-formation of a Covent Garden Opera Company and invited the Sadlers' Wells Ballet Company (founded in 1931) to become Covent Garden's resident ballet troupe.\nAustrian conductor Karl Rankl was hired to re-form the opera company. He brought in illustrious guest conductors. His successors as music director have been Rafael Kubelik, George Solti, Colin Davis, and Bernard Haitink. The ballet company opened the house with Sleeping Beauty on February 20, 1946. The companies co-produced Purcell's The Fairy Queen in December of that year, and the opera company began with Carmen on January 14, 1947.\nThe companies were renamed the Royal Ballet (in 1956) and Royal Opera (in 1968). As the century ended, the 140-year-old theater was closed for extensive renovation and enlargement (particularly of its backstage facilities) from 1997 to 1999. However, the whole plan was put into question in light of the disclosure of huge deficits and other difficulties. The Orchestra took advantage of the Royal Opera House's down time to undertake expanded touring, including participation in a highly-acclaimed concert performance of Wagner's Walk\u00fcre at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. The renovated Royal Opera House reopened late in 1999, to generally favorable popular and critical reaction and appeared to have regained its popularity and financial footing Read more on Last.fm.

He's been diving in the deep end of songwriting, working alongside some of the industry's best who've helped him turn his journey into 11 fresh songs, available for purchase on Oct. 12.\n\"I've learned to be more honest and tell my story rather than the story that I think someone wants to hear,\" Evans tells Taste of Country. After writing hundreds of songs, Evans culled the parts of his identity he hadn't yet shared into an album, but one of the most important songs is \"Things That We Drink To.\" It's an anthemic track built from loss.\nKelsea Ballerini Once Dated Who?!\nEvans' longtime confidant and manager Rob Potts died in a motorcycle accident a year before the album hit stands. Potts actually discovered Evans in Australia and told him to come to America \u2014 and convinced him to stay when the singer found it too challenging.\n\"He was like family to me,\" Evans admits. On the day of his memorial service in Nashville, Evans and co-writers Chris DeStefano and Josh Osborne were in the studio. The weight of the tragedy was not lost on them.\n\"We hadn't really talked about it so much as acknowledged that we were all thinking about him that day,\" Evans reflects. \"I started singing this melody, the melody you hear on the song, and the line, 'Things that we drink to' just came out.\"\nWhile the writers could've taken a more somber approach, Evans couldn't help but recall the joyful moments he and Potts shared together, so he chose those fond memories to build upon for a song that's a toast to a life well-lived.\n\"We started talking about it in the way of writing a song like that, a tribute song to someone you've lost as a celebration for all the life that you got to live together and the things you got to do with each other because you're in each other's lives,\" he explains.\n\"'Gonna raise up a tall glass / Tonight as we look back / Back on all the life that we lived through / Yeah, the things that we drink to,'\" he sings with sincerity in a chorus that honors his late friend.\n\"I feel like we tried to write it in a way that was very specific, and at the same time very open to interpretation for anyone that's lost anyone. I feel like it was respectful in that way to him,\" Evans says.\nCelebration is an overall theme of Things That We Drink To as Evans looks back on the times that have defined him since he started building a new life on the other side of the world. \"When the track listing for the album was coming together, I realized that songs were finding their place as there were these moments, whether it was drinking to someone you've lost or drinking to meeting the girl or finding a new home in America,\" he says. \"They're all these moments you can raise a glass to.\"\nThings That We Drink To is available now.\nNext: 10 Proud Country Songs About America\nSource: Morgan Evans\u2019 \u2018Things That We Drink To\u2019 Is Celebration of Life After Good Friend\u2019s Death",

        "raw_content": "5.0 out of 5 stars A memorable trip into the past three hundred years, November 8, 2013\nJ. Chambers (Georgia, United States) \u2013 See all my reviews\n(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)\nThis review is from: The Railroads Of King of Prussia, PA: The Past Leads To The Future (Paperback)\nI was a railroad kid in the 1940s and 1950s. My dad worked all his life for the Georgia Railroad, and our family traveled for free on passenger trains all over the Southeastern US. By the end of the 1950s, rail passenger services were dying out as highways and commercial air travel became the favored travel modes for Americans. But to this day, I\u2019ve remained a bit of a railroad buff, so when author Michael Shaw asked if I would review his book, I was glad to accept.\nIt\u2019s a marvelous book, telling the story of the rise of King of Prussia and the major role that the railroads played in the city\u2019s development. In the 1830s and 1840s, the recently invented steam locomotive led to an explosion of railroad services in King of Prussia and elsewhere in the eastern part of the country. The railroads were invaluable for transporting the town\u2019s mining products (limestone and iron ore) to where they were needed. Passenger services soon followed, and the town grew rapidly into a regional center of industry and commerce.\nThe book is a treasure trove of information not only for railroad buffs, but for anyone interested in the history of King of Prussia and, in a broader sense, the United States, since the railroads had a huge impact everywhere they were built. I spent hours perusing the book\u2019s old maps, railroad timetables, newspaper clippings, correspondence, historic photographs showing the railroads in their heyday, and modern photographs showing some of the old abandoned roadbeds, sidings, and overpasses. It\u2019s not just a cut-and-dried history, either. There are plenty of personal stories and anecdotes that add a human touch to the history.\nKudos to Michael Shaw for such a fascinating and memorable look into the past.\nA review copy of the book was provided by the author.\n4.0 out of 5 stars A Loco Motive Not Needed to Read and Enjoy, November 5, 2013\nSpudman (Pasadena, MD United States) \u2013 See all my reviews\n(VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER)\nIn the Baltimore Sun there was an article about a maglev train connecting Baltimore and Washington that could make possible a 15 minute trip between the cities. The cost would be about ten billion dollars. Is such a train in King of Prussia\u2019s future? It\u2019s unlikely, but Michael Shaw considers the possibilities of renewed conventional passenger service through Upper Marion Township and thinks such a viable outcome would revitalize the region.\nThese musings are at the conclusion of his amazing back to the future book, a dedicated work of love detailing the history of the railroad in the township King of Prussia. This detail rich book is not just about railroads, but traces the history of commerce, development, canals, and industry in the region. I learned that the majority of PA railroads were built between 1860-1890 and that the Reading Railroad is not just a space on the monopoly board.\nThe train aficionado will enjoy the numerous photographs uncovered by the author, the railroad paraphernalia, the maps, schedules, tickets, and letters. It\u2019s a book even one with a casual railroading interest found fascinating. Someone who lives in the area and has a more serious interest in railroad history might be spellbound by this incredible piece of work \u2013 a book for those who sneeze with an achoo-choo.\nNote \u2013 On the bottom of each page encircling the page number is a piece of locomotive lore that I learned is a called a cow catcher.\nNote2- Serious readers might want to keep a magnifying glass handy to read the smallish print on some of the train schedules and other documents.\n4.0 out of 5 stars An American Community and its Railroads, November 3, 2013\nRobin Friedman (Washington, D.C. United States) \u2013 See all my reviews\n(VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)\nThe study of history includes not only learning about large scale national or international events of the past. Good historical work often is local in character. An example of a local history is this new book, \"The Railroads of King of Prussia, PA: the Past Leads to the Future\" (2013) by a local historian, Michael S. Shaw. Published by the King of Prussia Historical Society, the book commemorates the Tricentennial of Upper Merion Township, founded in 1713. The book also celebrates the 175th anniversary of the first railroad entering the township in 1838. Shaw became interested in railroading history when he found some hidden, abandoned tracks in King of Prussia. He became curious and wanted to explore their history with this book as the result. The author kindly sent me a copy of this book to read and review.\nIt is important to pinpoint King of Prussia and Upper Merion for readers who may be unfamiliar. Upper Merion is a township in Montgomery County, Pensylvania about 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia. King of Prussia is a census-designated community in Upper Merion Township. It is unincorporated and has no formal borders or governmental structure but has been expanding its reach with industry and people. The community is best known for its famous old inn, the King of Prussia Inn, which has been moved from its original location but which still stands as a National Historic Lanmark. As Shaw explains, King of Prussia was a rural, sparsely populated area for most of its history. Beginning in the early 1950s, the area experienced expansion and rapid growth with the building of expressways and the coming of industrialization. In 1965, the largest mall in the United States, the King of Prussia Mall, opened in the community. Today the community is a heavily populated, prosperous suburb of Philadelphia. As do many suburban communities, it has a large traffic problem.\nShaw discusses the history of King of Prussia through its railroads which reached the community by 1838. He relates the railroad history to the earlier transportation history of the region, involving the building of canals, to its changing economic character, and to its people. Railroads are a relatively small presence in today\u2019s King of Prussia. The book shows how they rails once predominated in the area and were instrumental in its development.\nMuch of the book tells the story of two large former major railroads that served the area, the Reading Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad, and competed for its development. Both roads ultimately went bankrupt with their properties assumed by other carriers. As Shaw tells it, King of Prussia became active in its capacity as a carrier for coal from further north in Pennsylvania to Philadelphia. It developed a large freight yard, the Abrams Yard, which is still in use. Railroads also carried the limestone and iron mined in areas adjacent to King of Prussia. Many subsidiary lines developed over the years to service industrial growth at various points. Railroad traffic peaked in the late 1920s and then went into gradual decline with the development of the highway system.\nShaw is particularly interested in passenger railroading. He shows that King of Prussia offered active passenger service up to about 1900 which continued in reduced form through the 1920s. Phiadelphia was the hub, but service also took place between small local communities. With the increased density of King of Prussia and the attendant traffic congestion, Shaw argues that passenger rail service should be restored to King of Prussia. Steps leading towards this goal are apparently under way.\nShaw has done an able job in finding information and in telling a story which otherwise might be lost. The book includes many old maps, photographs, timetables, railroad guides, engines, stations, bridges, and other memorabilia documenting his story of railroading. It also includes color photographs, many taken by the author, documenting the continued presence of the rails. With persistence, Shaw took photgraphs of old abandoned lines in the area, sometimes covered over with vegetation and hard to see, and followed his story.\nShaw recounts a valuable story about a small American community and its railroads which has since burgeoned into a large suburb. The book is a fitting gift to a community celebrating its 300th anniversary and reflecting on its past and its future. The book will have strongest appeal to a regional audience and will also be of interest to railfans.\n5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, November 15, 2013\nJohn B. Goode \"JBG\" (Earth) \u2013 See all my reviews\nThis is a book on the history of the King of Prussia\u2019s railroads.\nThe book is very well written and put together. The writing is easy to read and follow. The chapters follow each other logically starting with a history, then the development, then the various railway companies and charters up to contemporary times.\nIt is very well researched and references are listed at the end of every chapter. It is also profusely illustrated with photographs, prints, correspondence, blueprints, maps, guides, timetables and anything else you can think of. I can\u2019t imagine how much time the author must have spent planning, researching and putting this book together. It\u2019s one of the most informative and detailed books I\u2019ve seen in any subject.\nThis is a niche book in a niche subject but this son of the King of Prussia has done the city proud. I enjoyed the book not just as a railroad enthusiast but as a fan of Americana, American industry and good writing.\nI would recommend this book to anyone interested in trains and how railroads have evolved over time in the industrial heartland. Highly recommended. Note: I received a copy for review purposes.",

        "raw_content": "Passionate lovers of pop who don\u2019t believe in taking themselves too seriously, This Many Boyfriends are winning fans all over the country, and will be touring with The Kaiser Chiefs soon. Their self-titled debut album has just been released and was recorded in Edwyn Collins\u2019 West Heath studios and produced by Ryan Jarman of The Cribs. With influences that include the C86 cutie movement, Patti Smith, The Pastels, Bruce Springsteen and Pavement, they\u2019ve declared themselves on a mission to \u2018make people want to form bands.\u2019 Current single Number 1 is a beautiful bitter-sweet slice of pop that captures the ache of a long-distance relationship. We talked to them before a headline London gig about how they write, their kit, and their musical manifesto.\nAngular Records\nwww.thismanyboyfriends.com\n@thismanybfs\nAn energy drink pressed into an album Richard talks vocals Daniel talks guitars Laura talks drums Ben talks guitars Tom talks bass Kit List\nAn energy drink pressed into an album\nThis Many Boyfriends want you to have fun. When they describe their new album, it\u2019s all about tunes that give you a lift.\nTen pop songs, quite short, it\u2019s good if you\u2019ve got a short attention span. They\u2019re just good songs, short sharp melodic, riffy, you know. Fun. Ideal to get ready to go out to. It\u2019s like a can of Red Bull that\u2019s been pressed into an album.\nWorking with Ryan Jarman from The Cribs, in Edwyn Collins of Orange Juice\u2019s studio was overwhelming at times, but great.\nIt was pretty fun, the studio\u2019s really nice. Just fun to hang out in. Kind of weird being around people like that though. I\u2019ve been an Orange Juice fan for a long time now. Cribs even more, which is really weird. It\u2019s like, Edwyn popping in for a cup of tea and like. Yeah I\u2019ve seen an episode of Ready Steady Cook with Edwyn Collins.\nRyan the producer had plenty of ideas and was keen to experiment.\nRyan was just really excitable, it was like working with a little kid. He\u2019d just bound around the studios like, changing guitars all the time, and he had loads of ideas. He got in a piano, that were good. Opened it up, got in to that and were like playing the strings in it.\nThen there was the time Ryan introduced a bin lid into the recording.\nHe played a bin lid with some chains. So there\u2019s a lot of sounds on the record that aren\u2019t us, that are him just messing around. It was really fun, it was just really weird to be around people who are heroes.\nBut in spite of adding some extras, Richard says that Ryan really wanted the band to be themselves.\nWe\u2019d given him demos and he\u2019d heard the first EP and he basically just wanted us to do it like that. He was very insistent on making it live and making it fun and not trying to mess about with it too much, and I think that kind of helped us. I think if we\u2019d had a producer who\u2019d been trying to gloss it up a bit, make it into something else, then it probably wouldn\u2019t have worked. I think that he just wanted to keep it as rough as possible really.\nBut there\u2019s room for the smooth too, and their new single Number 1 is a charmer, that\u2019s a bit less frenetic than some of their tracks.\nFor Richard it was important that the vocals came across clearly on the album. He may joke about the band being chaotic at times, but he wants people to hear the lyrics.\nThere\u2019s a current trend of very very high reverb and everything kind of mixing in together and you really don\u2019t get an idea of the vocals. I mean a lot of the time it\u2019s about nothing, whereas I\u2019m kind of trying to write stuff, you know, for people. I quite like being kind of crisp and clear because it just keeps things simple and I really wouldn\u2019t want people to not hear what I\u2019m saying. I don\u2019t know why you\u2019d mix it to sound like that unless you\u2019re hiding bad writing. I don\u2019t know. I think a lot of people probably are.\nWhen the band are writing, most of the songs start off with guitar, as Daniel explains.\nIt usually starts with a riff. I\u2019ve written the music and then Richard\u2019s done the lyrics and then we\u2019ve just kind of worked from there, and then other times somebody else would do the chord progression and then I would just do a riff. The last song we did, Ben did all the music.\nRichard says they try and get things recorded fast, as rough demos. He usually writes the vocal melody himself.\nBen\u2019s got a recording studio and Dan\u2019s got an 8-track so we just try and get as much stuff down as possible then he\u2019ll send it to me and I\u2019ll work something out. We work quite quickly.\nThe band says the album tracks translate well into a live set.\nWhen we\u2019ve recorded them they\u2019re all like, not too much piano that we could never do live or not too much ridiculous stuff that we could never replicate live. The album\u2019s basically live, other than a few embellishments, so iit\u2019s been really easy to tour it because it\u2019s just straight off.\nYou can kind of let loose a lot more when you\u2019re playing live. It probably means the music gets a bit ropier but we can enjoy ourselves a lot more than you can in the studio.\nWe asked them about their influences.\nThe obvious ones would be The Smiths and The Cribs. And there\u2019s also a lot of Jesus and Mary Chain, Pavement, Weezer, just kind of for the random awesome fun-ness. At the moment it\u2019s The Strokes, a lot, as well. And like 80s indie pop, sort of stuff as well, because obviously, that\u2019s the sort of stuff we play.\nThey are hitting their stride as songwriters and are out to make perfect and petite slices of pop.\nWe\u2019re into writing snappy pop songs that people can latch onto really easily. So there\u2019s a bit of a formula going. There\u2019s a bit of noise as well Because that\u2019s just more fun that way. We just write chorus verse chorus riff, chorus, noise, always try to keep it under three minutes.\nWe never really like to go that far over two minutes to be honest. Because once you\u2019ve heard it, once you\u2019ve heard a riff, once you\u2019ve heard a chorus and a verse once, what\u2019s the point of repeating over and over again. Don\u2019t bore us, get us to the chorus. That is our aim.\nRichard talks vocals\nThis Many Boyfriends are firm believers in having a good time when they play music, and vocalist and band main man Richard says he wants that to come across, though it\u2019s important people can hear the vocals properly.\nI care about what I\u2019m writing about. But there\u2019s something I always say in this situation which is, there\u2019s an episode of Seinfeld in which Jerry Seinfeld says, he\u2019s going to see Mel Torme, the singer and he just says, I can\u2019t go and watch a man sing, you know, he\u2019ll be flailing his arms around. I feel exactly like that about music, people take it way too seriously and everyone should just relax a little bit. I\u2019d rather have fun on stage than be really earnest and really like, give a shit.\nThis is really important to everyone right now, and it isn\u2019t, it\u2019s just a guy opening his mouth and some notes coming out, and it\u2019s someone hitting some strings on a thing, it\u2019s someone hitting a skin on a thing, it really doesn\u2019t matter as much as everyone thinks it does. And I\u2019d like to have that as our statement really because it\u2019s just more interesting if you\u2019re just having a laugh than if you\u2019re singing about poverty.\nHe\u2019s currently working on ways of persuading sound engineers to leave his sound alone.\nI like it to be as loud and as clear as possible. But it\u2019s become a habit, with sound guys at the moment with us, that they chuck tons of reverb on me, and I don\u2019t realise until after the gig. But I really don\u2019t like it because it swamps the whole sound. I understand that as a band we\u2019re quite loud and we\u2019ve got quite a lot of delay and stuff, quite a lot of reverb on the guitars, but they seem to think that that means that I want that, and I think I\u2019d rather it was crisp because I want to cut through it. Because I think obviously if it\u2019s just quite trebly and crisp and down the middle, it\u2019ll just cut through everything and everyone will be able to hear it. And I don\u2019t want it to be like too swampy, you know.\nHe doesn\u2019t take his own microphone to gigs, being happy to use the house set up.\nWhatever\u2019s at the venue, whatever mic they leave, that\u2019s what I\u2019ll use. If they tell me to use it, I\u2019ll use it, even if it\u2019s got dents in it, you know. Because I\u2019m really not precious about it all.\nRichard says he doesn\u2019t feel the need for special voice techniques. Yet!\nI really don\u2019t have any warmups or anything. It\u2019s because I\u2019ve been in the band for quite a while and we\u2019ve never really done it properly. I\u2019d feel really awkward going off and doing it, it would just feel weird. It will probably catch up with me in five years\u2019 time when I get adenoid things or something. But I don\u2019t really feel the need, because I\u2019m not really stretching myself too much. Especially live, it\u2019s not really something I worry about, I just get drunk and go on and make a fool of myself. I\u2019ll probably pay for it but right now, I\u2019d feel silly doing warmups, I think.\nDaniel talks guitars\nDaniel has really finessed his sound, after teaching himself guitar over the years, by copying his favourite songs.\nWhen I started it was mostly just The Strokes. And Interpol. And all those kind of 2004 bands like Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand. When I taught myself I was just copying them, and then I\u2019ve gone on to more post-punky stuff, which is very simple, Gang Of Four that kind of stuff, but more recently I\u2019ve been getting into My Bloody Valentine and noisier stuff.\nHis current guitar is a Fender Jazzmaster.\nIt\u2019s pretty new. I got it because it just seemed like the best combination of like a single coil and a Humbucker, and I wanted to experiment using the whammy bar on it to create different sounds.\nFender Jazzmaster The best combination of a single coil and a Humbucker. Read More\nHe has a good collection of pedals.\nI use a Jekyll and Hyde distortion pedal for most of the sound, it\u2019s used on the album a lot as well. I really like both sides of that, both together and individually and I\u2019ve got a couple of Rats after that.\nVisual Sound Jekyll and Hyde I use it for most of the sound, on the album a lot as well Read More\nI\u2019ve got a Dirty Rat and a Turbo Rat and I use the Turbo Rat, it\u2019s just like a boost for riffs and solos, and the Dirty Rat for more kind of grunt work.\nPro Co Turbo Rat A boost for riffs and solos. Read More\nPro Co You Dirty Rat Good for grunt work. Read More\nDaniel\u2019s sound is a mixture of bright and dirty but he doesn\u2019t like to use the term jangly.\nAnd then I\u2019ve got a chorus and delay, I\u2019ve got them next to each other so I can put them both together for extra lead parts and then I\u2019ve got two reverb pedals and one of them\u2019s on reverse reverbs so I can sound like Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine. I\u2019ve got some more pedals but they\u2019re the ones I use the most.\nBoss Super Chorus CH-1 For extra lead parts Read More\nHe likes the combination of his Fender guitar with a Fender amp.\nI use a Fender amp because it\u2019s got a good clean signal, well, sound.\nFender Hot Rod Deluxe Amp Good clean sound Read More\nAs a clean sound, I just want something bright, and then after that, once I\u2019ve put distortion in front of it I kind of want, I\u2019ve got a couple of Muff pedals as well recently, and I just like more the Marshall overdrive kind of sound. Because you\u2019ve got everything going on there.\nElectro-Harmonix Double Muff Two distortions in one Read More\nBut I\u2019ve got so many distortion pedals because a lot of the songs have a lot of different sounds on them, so I can flip on Jekyll and Hyde and then I can get a more Strokes-y sound, but then I can put on the Rat, and the reverb, and I can go straight into Kevin Shields\u2019 kind of sound. So that\u2019s what I go for, versatility, nothing too crazy but lots of the same, but slightly different, mostly.\nSo how would he sum up his sound, if jangly is not the right description?\nJust noisy. With lots of top end on it, so you can hear it cracking away but still sounding kind of rumbly, a rumbly noise, it\u2019s like, gather the whole spectrum. The album was recorded with a lot of second guitar, either dirty or just slightly cleaner for definition in parts, so from a live sound I want to cover most bases so I want definition but quite messy and sloppy at the same time.\nMarshall RF-1 Reflector Stereo Reverb pedal with optional expression pedal input Read More\nHe\u2019s recently begun experimenting with acoustic guitar, persuaded by his bandmates, for one of the album tracks.\nI hadn\u2019t played one before. It does go with the song so that\u2019s good. I never use an acoustic to write songs on, I never really approach it as a sound to use, and I think because I didn\u2019t write that song, it\u2019s fine but it\u2019s not something that I usually go towards. But it sounds good on the album. The acoustic is basically the main track throughout it but there\u2019s probably about two guitars on top of that as well, electric guitars.\nMarshall ED-1 Compressor A solid compressor/sustain pedal Read More\nJOYO Digital Delay Digital delay pedal reproducing an analogue sound Read More\nHardwire RV-7 Reverb A stereo digital reverb pedal with studio quality effects.

She\u2019s skilled at hiding her light under a bushel though, and is a much better drummer than she makes out!\nI play just a snare and a floor tom and one cymbal. And the reason I have that set up is because I don\u2019t really know how to play the drums and the previous drummer before me, that\u2019s what she played, as a sort of band drum decision, before I joined the band. When she was leaving and I was joining, the old guitarist was teaching me how to play the drums and because I don\u2019t really know how to play the drums that\u2019s the smallest amount you can do without too much faff and having to learn properly. And it\u2019s quite fun.\nThough she inherited the band snare drum, the rest of her Performance kit came from a friend.\nI bought my friend\u2019s drumkit that she had from when she was a kid. I bought the whole kit for \u00a330 and I still use most of it. I\u2019ve still got the floor tom, the drum stool\u2019s broken now and I haven\u2019t got a new one, and the kick pedal\u2019s broken but I\u2019m thinking of actually branching out and buying a new one for that, but everything else is still the same, Still the same snare as well, which has been with the band for about three years. Before I joined, even then that was the same snare used.\nShe takes a straightforward approach to playing.\nI don\u2019t know if there\u2019s any attempt at trying to have a particular sound, more just hitting it loud and hard and fast and all that sort of stuff, not like a particular anything. Anything that comes around sounding like something is just purely accidental and that\u2019s just what happens when I\u2019ve done it, like, not intentionally at all.\nZildjian ZBT Series 16\u201d Crash Bright crash, easy to use Read More\nShe admires other drummers but doesn\u2019t necessarily want to imitate them.\nThere\u2019s loads of drummers that I admire. I think they are really good drummers but not that I\u2019m necessarily trying to be like them because that\u2019s a bit of a leap. David from The Lovely Eggs is one of my favourite drummers. I\u2019d like to be able to play the amount of kit and you know, his level of drumming is perfect for me, because it\u2019s pretty pared-back but still interesting.\nBen talks guitars\nBen initially joined the band as a stand-in rhythm guitarist, but his role has now become permanent.\nI\u2019ve been playing guitar since I was 7 years old, it\u2019s what I do, basically. And they needed a rhythm guitarist and I knew that and I said, do you want me to?\nMusicians who have influenced him are a mixture of rock and classical.\nI suppose when I was young it was Johnny Marr out of The Smiths, Billy Bragg, I quite like the way that he plays very like he\u2019s trying to fill the sound up, like as if he\u2019s a band, on his own. And lately I\u2019ve gotten quite into this classical guitarist called Leo Kottke that I like, he did an album called Six And Twelve String Guitar in the 60s, which is just intrumental guitar music, that\u2019s really nice. Keith Richards I quite like actually, because he just has really simple riffs that are really catchy and really powerful.\nHe plays a Fender Telecaster.\nWhen I was in my teens, I got a Fender Telecaster for Christmas, and I stuck with that, I just really like the guitar. I think it\u2019s a really nice guitar, it makes the sound that I want. I\u2019ve got a few other guitars as well that I don\u2019t really use very much in the band. I\u2019ve got a jazz guitar, a big hollow-bodied jazz one and acoustic, a Tanglewood acoustic, and I\u2019ve got a ukelele and other things. I\u2019ve got a load of instruments actually, that aren\u2019t guitars, as well. I\u2019ve got a lot of little bits and pieces but that\u2019s my guitar.\nFender Telecaster I just really like the guitar Read More\nWhile not keen on pedals, he uses a Fender amp.\nI tend to use a Fender Blues Deluxe amp, a tweed amp, with a valve in it. I don\u2019t really use many pedals. I\u2019m getting more into that lately but I\u2019m just into having a clean sound all the time really. The style that I play is fairly bright and sort of jangly and sort of chord-based, rhythm-based, not much lead, kind of quite bright, chord-based guitar.\nHe relies heavily on the amp for his tone, which he describes as:\nDriving the valve in the amp to get a distorted sound, not really using many pedals. I use a tuner pedal to keep in tune all the time. I like the sound of Fender valve amps, I think they\u2019re my favourite. I think Fender guitars into Fender amps is my favourite sound, really, for a guitar. I\u2019m not really keen on many other amps that I\u2019ve tried. I quite like Vox AC30s, they are really nice but I prefer my Fender Telecaster and Fender amp.\nFender Blues Deluxe Amp I think Fender guitars into Fender amps is my favourite sound. Read More\nLike his bandmates, Ben enjoys the fun vibe of This Many Boyfriends.\nI\u2019ve been in other bands before where it\u2019s been a bit more heads-down serious and playing the song, and not really involving the audience whatsoever, but this band\u2019s a bit more fun and sort of haphazard and it\u2019s all kind of, everyone\u2019s just having a laugh on stage, which is interesting, it\u2019s nice, it\u2019s a lot more relaxing really, it\u2019s as if it doesn\u2019t really matter if you make an error.\nJOYO Vintage Overdrive Warm overdrive pedal Read More\nTom talks bass\nTom inherited his Yamaha bass off his brother, it was a sad time for his brother, but good for the band!\nHe broke both his arms when he was learning and so I decided, I\u2019ll have that, and then I met Richard who was looking for a guitarist, bass guitarist. I owned a bass. The rest is history! True story.\nYamaha Bass It\u2019s indestructible, it\u2019s a beast Read More\nIt\u2019s a Yamaha something or other and it\u2019s indestructible. It\u2019s been dropped off stages and thrown around and it\u2019s a beast. It can\u2019t be broke.\nTom doesn\u2019t use pedals and tends to leave the choice of amp up to his bandmates. He still considers himself a bit of a beginner, but he loves playing.\nI\u2019m still very much learning. so I just kind of play as fast and as simple as I can, just try and keep the song going, give Dan a bit of room to solo around. That\u2019s really my job, nothing very clever or special. I love playing live, so much more than in the studio, because if I mess up live, I just do a stupid face or throw beer at the crowd. And everyone loves it.\nRecording the album was a lot of fun, as he explains.\nWe did the rhythm section, the drums, the bass and the rhythm guitar, all live, so we\u2019d do three or four takes of that and choose the best one and then add stuff on there, so I didn\u2019t really have much to do once we\u2019d laid the bass track down so it was quite easy. Had a lot of downtime there. I spent a lot of time with Edwyn (Collins) and his wife Grace, who\u2019s lovely, and also annoying Ryan (Jarman) when he was trying to work. A good few weekends. Stress free.\nAndy Rourke of The Smiths, and Peter Hook of New Order are the two bass players he admires the most.\nThey\u2019re pretty simple styles but everyone raves about them like they\u2019re musical geniuses, so I reckon I could get to that level at some point, bit of practice.",

        "title": "Late Night Library | Alexis M. Smith \u2013 Marrow Island",
        "raw_content": "Marrow Island, by Alexis M. Smith (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), takes place in a haunting alternate present in which parts of the Northwest have been destroyed by an enormous earthquake. Ten years later, a journalist named Lucie seeks out a secret, quasi-religious group that appears to be living in the midst the quake-caused toxic devastation on a small island in the San Juan Islands. The book is part ecological-thriller, part introspection on the nature of death and living in a toxic world, and part mycology lab.\nIn Ben Parzybok\u2019s interview with Alexis Smith about Marrow Island, they talk about death, revolution, mushrooms, and the lifecycle of books. Enjoy!\nBEN PARZYBOK: I feel like we have probably had a similar experience with real-world events transpiring simultaneously with our books. Or rather, to have written substantially about a thing before having that thing manifest in the world about us. This year Kathryn Schulz won the Pulitzer for her piece on the Cascadia subduction zone; your book richly imagines a place after that earthquake \u2018the big one\u2019 has come to pass. And again, the place you\u2019ve chosen for the other half of the book, the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, also dramatically entered the public consciousness this year. You appear to have some divinational magic in selecting these places/topics (I am open to investment tips, fwiw). I\u2019d love to hear you talk a little on how that feels, how it has made you reconsider your own book, and how it may or may not have re-contextualized your work after it came out.\nALEXIS M. SMITH: This is not the first time I\u2019ve been asked whether I\u2019m slightly clairvoyant. It\u2019s funny, because\u2014as you know\u2014we work on novels for years and by the time we\u2019re done, the issues in them don\u2019t feel especially \u201cnew\u201d to us, even if they\u2019re just entering a broader collective consciousness when the book comes out.\nI certainly don\u2019t think anyone who grew up in the Pacific Northwest was at all surprised by the details of Kathryn Schulz\u2019s piece (even if she did offer a vivid picture of the probable devastation, which I think most of us try not to dwell on). I was finishing my last edits when the piece went viral, and it didn\u2019t make me reconsider the novel, but it did tell me that people outside the Northwest would already have a stellar introduction to \u201cthe Big One.\u201d I have joked that I wished her article had come out a few years earlier, because it would have saved me a lot of time researching and translating the technical articles from NOAA, USGS, University of Washington, et al.\u2014all for a few passages about memories of an earthquake that is in the backstory of the novel.\nAs for the Malheur, I was a little excited, I\u2019ll admit, that the name ended up in the broader consciousness before my book came out, even if the location in my book is actually about 100 miles away from the Wildlife Refuge, in the Malheur National Forest. When people have even a vague notion of where a place is on the planet, or in the context of other places they\u2019re heard of, I think it helps to root the scene in the imagination. Plus: now everyone knows how to pronounce Malheur, Oregon-style. But again, the book was completely out of my hands at that point, so I couldn\u2019t have changed anything if I wanted to.\nBP: Marrow Island takes place in a region dear to me. I have lived on San Juan Island several times. And yet (as far as I could tell) Marrow Island is a fictional island within the archipelago. I thought that an interesting choice, considering the second location in the book is entirely real, though the choice feels like a right one to me. Can you talk about the reasons for fabricating a place like this, and what it\u2019s like to overlay a fictional topography over an actual one?\nAS: Yes, Marrow and Orwell are two fictional islands in the real San Juan Islands of Puget Sound. I was already choosing to rewrite geological history with the earthquake (by making a \u201cbig one\u201d happen in the 1990s), so making up a couple of islands didn\u2019t feel like that much of a stretch. I also didn\u2019t want to destroy Friday Harbor, for example, or any other real town on the islands, because I think it would have limited the possibilities for me, imaginatively. I needed to believe that some yahoo actually built an oil refinery up there, but the proximity to people was a problem\u2014imagine the people of San Juan island letting big oil set up shop there; it would never happen. Maybe an old industry baron owned an island (there are privately owned islands up there, for those who aren\u2019t familiar), and maybe he did it back in the day when oil spills weren\u2019t front page news, and he did it near a major shipping channel\u2026 It felt right creating Marrow and Orwell from scratch, but in the image of the other islands, with the appropriate landscape, wildlife, inhabitants, etc.\nIt felt risky because we Northwesterners can be sensitive to inaccurate descriptions of our hometowns and beloved natural places. But at other times I wondered whether I should risk more\u2014if I was going to create islands and summon an earthquake, why not rename cities? Why not stray even more from the known landscape and climate, etc. Ultimately I just didn\u2019t want to. I didn\u2019t want to stray too far from the landscape and politics and current events that we are already familiar with in our present. I was happy to put my characters in an only slightly-altered reality.\nBP: The book centers around the idea of a sort of utopia built on top of a previously apocalyptic scenario. I love this idea, and feel like it mirrors a lot of human history. Upon every ruin, we build a new civilization. And yet, in each case our ruins get more perniciously destroyed and toxic by either the weaponry or side-effects of the modern era. Do you think there\u2019s a larger-scale death/re-birth cycle that happens at a civilization level that mirrors what happens on the biological level? And related\u2026 how important do you think the role of radical sub-groups (or even cults) are in forming the new \u2018norm\u2019 for the subsequent civilization?\nSMITH: Oh, this is a good question. I was definitely thinking about all of these things as I wrote. First, yes: I definitely believe that civilizations have cycles, and that so much hinges on humans learning the lessons of the past. Or not. I think, as a species, we don\u2019t learn the lessons very well. We don\u2019t act in our own best interest because as a unit, we can\u2019t think long-term. Part of the poor long-term decision-making comes from power systems. The few with the most power are making decisions for ALL, and this never works out for the majority. This is where \u201cradical sub-groups\u201d are necessary\u2014you wrote about this in Sherwood Nation, too\u2014collective action has and always will be incredibly important in making change happen, but it has to come from the fringes. Ideological change is like biological diversity in that way. If you keep circulating the same genes around a population, the population will slowly self-destruct; if you continuously circulate the same ideas in a society, the civilization will self-destruct. Our world is changing around us and we need to be able to think quickly and creatively to adapt. In the U.S. lately, it feels like we\u2019re regressing. Creativity and curiosity, education, open-mindedness and free-thinking, have all been devalued, if not vilified. I\u2019m hopeful about individuals and about progressive radical sub-groups creatively disrupting the status quo, being able to emerge from disasters with a new path for people. But most days I feel like we\u2019re fucked as a species, generally, and that \u201ccivilization\u201d might not even be a possibility on this planet within a few centuries.\nBP: Almost all of my favorite scenes revolve around death, and I think some of your most revolutionary writing is on/around this topic. I think the mood ties into what I feel like is the very beginning of a (I hope) shift in our cultural response to death (I\u2019m thinking here of recent books like Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty), where really over the last 150 years we have utterly strayed from our species-long relationship with death and burial. I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on whether you think we\u2019re at an inflection point in this change, and how Marrow Island is playing with this topic.\nAS: Yeah! Thanks! I loved writing about death for this book. In the course of researching whether it was possible for mushrooms to aid in the decay of human remains, I studied the whole process of decomposition, the roles that different microbes play in different stages, in different habitats. I wanted to see if there were laws about burial (so many!) and whether people can just have a backyard family burial plot anymore (nope!), etc. Current funereal and crematory practices contribute enormously to greenhouse gas emissions and the release of tons of known carcinogens into the environment. It\u2019s so disturbing. I always thought that I wanted my ashes spread somewhere to return to the earth, but now I know that even cremation is toxic. Bodies should be allowed to decay naturally somewhere to really return from whence they came. During my research I found the Urban Death Project, which is this amazing organization started by an architect in Seattle, Katrina Spade, which has come up with a method for turning our expired loved ones into compost. I find this fascinating and whole-heartedly support the efforts. I want to be compost.\nIn any case, without giving too much of the plot away, in Marrow Island we find people who make particular decisions around burial which are both morally correct and legally wrong. It\u2019s a predicament that highlights our need for a radical re-thinking of death and burial.\nBP: There is a lot of great mycological (mushroom) science in the book. I\u2019m curious about your research process \u2014 how much of the narrative was driven by this research? How did the research you do change your conception of the book over time?\nAS: I did lots of research\u2014way more than I needed\u2014because it was fascinating and fun: reading everything I could get my hands on, going to thrift stores in search of random books on mushrooms, taking pictures of all the mushrooms I found hiking or running in the woods so that I could learn to identify them, interviewing everyone I knew about their experiences taking psychedelics. I like to immerse myself in something and then let go and write, only going back to the books or notes if I really need to. Most of the time it was just in the background as I was writing, except for the few times when I needed to know specifics of cultivation, or how one might go about remediating soil, etc. I might go to a book to make sure a certain species would grow on a certain substance or tree, or whether it would fruit in the spring or fall. Other than that, I just had fun with the ideas all the research presented.\nBP: I don\u2019t think people really understand what it\u2019s like launching a novel, with all its ups and downs, after years of dwelling with it privately. Can you give us some details on the length of time and the cycles of angst/joy in the writing of this particular book? Which specific part of the writing/publishing cycle do you love best, and do you have tips for navigating being a novelist in the age of real-time feedback.\nAS: Well, this book, from inception to publication, was almost exactly eight years in the making. That\u2019s a long time to think, to research, to ruminate, to throw out drafts, to believe that it\u2019ll never ever be finished. Then, the last eight months of that eight years, I had absolutely nothing to do with the book; people somewhere else in the country were making it into the physical thing you can buy in the store. So I had this weird vacation from the real work of writing the thing, during which time I forgot what I wrote and started wondering if it was all gibberish. It\u2019s a real phenomenon: writer\u2019s amnesia. I knew interviews were on the horizon, so I started rehearsing answers that I couldn\u2019t be sure are true or not. You might ask: why not reread your own book, lady? To which I might reply: I\u2019ve been looking at this book for years and all I really want to do right now is read other people\u2019s stories and start working on my next one.\nThen the publicity starts and the anxiety begins. I am deeply ambivalent about promoting myself. I know it needs to happen, so that readers know about my books, but if I had it my way, I would send my book out into the world and no one would know what my face looks like, or what my voice sounds like, or how many cats I have. Because none of that says anything about the quality of my writing.\nI don\u2019t know a single woman writer who hasn\u2019t felt objectified in some way while promoting her work, and of those, the young, beautiful (mostly white) women are promoted in a very particular way that feels obsessed with the marketability of their youth and beauty. I am feeling this more keenly with Marrow Island than I did with Glaciers, probably because I could still have been considered young and beautiful when Glaciers came out and now I\u2019m pushing 40. People love an ingenue\u2014the bright, lovely twenty-something who landed the big book deal\u2014but most of us are older, and not full-page color photograph-worthy, so book promotion can start to feel like a beauty contest, and biases against people of color, the differently-abled, queer and trans folk, and fat women are alive and well.\nThen there\u2019s the role of biography. So much of book promotion focuses on \u201cauthenticity\u201d in a way that distracts from the work itself, especially for women and people of color: questions tend to focus on life details and how they informed the story, not your abilities, or your craft. Did you experience this? Have you been there? Was there a tragedy in your own family that inspired this? How is this about your woman-body/your mysterious non-white personhood? The questions don\u2019t come from a malicious place, but they do reinforce this idea that only white cis male writers are allowed to make \u201cliterature\u201d and the rest of us are writing for our \u201ctribes\u201d only.\nThis second time around I\u2019m more aware of these patterns; I\u2019m less na\u00efve. I may be queer, but I do believe that being a white cis woman has given me more advantages, press, and acclaim than my black or Latina or Asian or indigenous or trans, etc., peers. For every time I feel angst at not having made a list of \u201cbest novelists under 40\u201d or whatever, I have an equal and opposite pang of shame for the advantages my privilege has delivered. I want to be successful, to be read, but not at the expense of others I know to be equally, if not more, talented.\nThe saving grace is that sometimes I am invited to read with other writers, or to be in conversation with them, and I\u2019m reminded of what is important: engaging with and inspiring each other to take risks in our work, to challenge the status quo. How we go about changing the culture of publishing is a complicated conversation, but when we\u2019re talking about the writing itself, the words we want to put into the world, most of us become enthusiastic supporters and promoters of each other\u2019s written work. I guess that\u2019s my tip for navigating being an author in the current climate: concentrate on the reciprocity; inspiring others and being inspired to do your best work right back.\nPurchase a copy of Marrow Island at IndieBound and a portion of the purchase price will support Late Night Library\nAlexis M.

I think my boyfriend (who also happens to be self-employed) is starting to get sick of my non-stop-PJs-habit that\u2019s rapidly becoming a problem.\nThis post isn\u2019t actually about fabric. It\u2019s more about me\u2026 and where I am in my career\u2026 and my super big plans and aspirations\u2026 plus my pledge to keep up with my blog and fabric site.\nI graduated from Furman University about 5 years ago with a degree in fine art. After that, I completed a graduate program in graphic design at the Portfolio Center in Atlanta, which was awesome! I can\u2019t really say enough about the Portfolio Center\u2026 maybe I\u2019ll do an entry on that sometime later, because for anyone interested in graphic design, it\u2019s the place to be. (Some of my projects are below.)\nThis was from a perfume branding class\u2026\nSo was this\u2026\nThis was done for a city branding class\u2026\nA currency-design class\u2026\nAfter I graduated, I didn\u2019t find a job right away, which led to me and my mom starting our fabric-design gig.\nAnd then about 5 months after finishing school\u2026 I was offered a job at G2 Interactive as a junior web designer, which I immediately accepted! I was incredibly lucky to work under a fantastic creative-director, Jayson, who quickly brought me up to speed in the terms of designing for the web. It was his guidance that helped my own neurotic obsession for pixel-perfection to develop.\nThe web is an entirely different ball game (compared to print design). In school we were always taught about the value of negative space and clean-open-designs\u2026 but with the web, while negative-space is important. You also have to cram a lot of stuff into very small areas. Essentially, fitting the content together like little puzzle pieces. It took a few months for me to get used to these new concepts\u2026 but I got there and love it!\nWhile at G2 I worked on a number of different brands\u2026 Smuckers, Pillsbury, IE Games, Campbells Soup, Heineken, Chunky, Merck Pharmaceuticals, and a bunch of others. I feel like I was able to try out a number of styles across these extremely varied clients, and it was great as far as gaining experience.\nAfter a while though, I got tired of working off of other people\u2019s designs (because of my lowly position). I wasn\u2019t ever able to design something from scratch, start to finish.\nSo when an opportunity to work at Infragistics (a software component company) came up, I jumped at the chance.\nI started there as a Web Designer and was working under a super fun guy named Hope, as well as a fantastic design-director, Ambrose. Hope left soon after I started, and I was promoted to his old position as art director within the first year. I took on the company\u2019s rebranding as well as their website redesign.\nBlah blah, a lot happened during those next few years\u2026 I was transferred to a new team\u2026 worked on the a lot of website stuff, print ads, booth design, etc\u2026. and about 2 years in, I became disgruntled with my salary.\nBeing proactive about this got me nowhere\u2026 So I began doing freelance to make up the difference.\n\u2026And much to my surprise, I started to double my income by just doing freelance on the weekends.\nWhich caused this whole full-time-freelancer idea to hatch.\nAbout 3 months after I started doing freelance, I had enough clients lined up to quit.\nSince quitting, I\u2019ve been doing some Facebook applications for the Max Plank Institute\u2026 I\u2019ve worked with FOUR startup companies to create their websites / web applications\u2026 I\u2019ve also been designing fabric, building booths, working on a cupcake website, and doing menus for a deli in New York City.\nI probably should have made the jump a long time ago\u2026 but you know how things go. You never really know if your plans are going to work out\u2026\nI have one super big project going on right now that I\u2019m not allowed to talk about quite yet, but I\u2019ve just returned from a very successful trip to California, and I\u2019m hoping within a month or so, I\u2019ll be able do a really wonderful post about the outcome of the Cali Trip.\nAnyway, that\u2019s my story\u2026 and now that my schedule is finally under my own control\u2026 I plan to start blogging again. I have been so ridiculously slack with this!!\nOh, you can see my portfolio here\u2026 jung-graphicdesigner.com\nSome of my more recent projects haven\u2019t launched yet, so those aren\u2019t up. But I\u2019ve redesigned my site recently\u2026 so that it gives off a much more stream-of-consciousness vibe. Which is how I think I probably come across to most people, when I\u2019m speaking or writing\u2026 maybe.\nThis entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged Freelance. Bookmark the permalink.

        "raw_content": "#digitalmarketing, Google+, Social Media\nSeptember 5, 2018 Natasha Lomas\tComment\nAlphabet\u2019s decision to decline to send its CEO Larry Page to today\u2019s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing \u2014 to answer questions about what social media platforms are doing to thwart foreign influence operations intended to sow political division in the U.S. \u2014 has earned it a stinging rebuke from the committee\u2019s vice chair, Sen. Mark Warner.\n\u201cI\u2019m deeply disappointed that Google \u2013 one of the most influential digital platforms in the world \u2013 chose not to send its own top corporate leadership to engage this committee,\u201d said Warner in his opening remarks, after praising Facebook and Twitter for agreeing to send their COO and CEO respectively.\nAlphabet offered its SVP of global affairs and chief legal officer, Kent Walker, to testify in front of lawmakers but declined to send CEO Page or Google CEO Sundar Pichai .\nCommittee chairman, Richard Burr, was slightly less stinging in his opening remarks but also professed himself \u201cdisappointed that Google decided against sending the right senior level executive\u201d.\n\u201cIf the answer is regulation let\u2019s have an honest dialogue about what that looks like. If the key is more resources or legislation that facilitates information sharing and government co-operation let\u2019s get it out there,\u201d he concluded. \u201cIf it\u2019s national security policies that punish the kind of information and influence operations that we\u2019re talking about this morning to the point that they aren\u2019t even considered in foreign capitals then let\u2019s acknowledge that. But whatever the answer is we\u2019ve got to do this collaboratively and we\u2019ve got to do this now. That\u2019s our responsibility to the American people.\u201d\nWarner said committee members have \u201cdifficult questions about structural vulnerabilities on a number of Google\u2019s platforms that we will need answered\u201c, calling out a number of Google products by name and identifying abuse associated with those services.\n\u201cFrom Google Search, which continues to have problems surfacing absurd conspiracies\u2026.To YouTube, where Russian-backed disinformation agents promoted hundreds of divisive videos\u2026.To Gmail, where state-sponsored operatives attempt countless hacking attempts, Google has an immense responsibility in this space. Given its size and influence, I would have thought the leadership at Google would want to demonstrate how seriously it takes these challenges and to lead this important public discussion.\u201d\nWe\u2019ve reached out to Google for a response.\nWarner concluded his opening remarks with some policy suggestions for regulating social media platforms, saying he wanted to get the companies\u2019 constructive thoughts on issues such as whether platforms should identify bots to their users; whether there\u2019s a public interest in ensuring more anonymized data is available to researchers and academics to help identify potential problems and misuse; why terms of service are \u201cso difficult to find and nearly impossible to read; why US lawmakers shouldn\u2019t adopt ideas such as data portability, data minimization, or first party consent \u2014 which are already baked into EU privacy law \u2014 and what further accountability there should be related to platforms\u2019 \u201cflawed advertising model\u201d.\nUpdate: A Google spokesperson sent us its earlier statement \u2014 in which it writes:\nOver the last 18 months we\u2019ve met with dozens of Committee Members and briefed major Congressional Committees numerous times on our work to prevent foreign interference in US elections. Our SVP of Global Affairs and Chief Legal Officer, who reports directly to our CEO and is responsible for our work in this area, will be in Washington, D.C. on September 5, where he will deliver written testimony, brief Members of Congress on our work, and answer any questions they have. We had informed the Senate Intelligence Committee of this in late July and had understood that he would be an appropriate witness for this hearing.\n\u00ab Here\u2019s an exclusive insider look at SMX East Complaints to the ICO have spiked since GDPR came into effect in May \u00bb",

In that time I have had the opportunity to work both on core library discovery systems and on projects to build exhibitions and discovery portals for special collections. In recent years much of my work has focused on front-end web development that facilitates the integration of library discovery systems with library fulfillment services and other applications such as reference managers that are primary tools for academics. I also work extensively with the Drupal content management system. I\u2019ve also been an active member of the Code4lib regional New York City group for several years as well and am active in regional Drupal user groups as well.\nI am interested in working to improve support for linked data in library discovery and delivery systems. The support for linked data is in it\u2019s infancy in open source platforms and is an afterthought or non-existent in the commercial systems I\u2019ve worked with. Making linked data a meaningful part of this ecosystem will facilitate better integration between applications and will help enhance and augment the results produced by these systems.\nI feel that there is a window of opportunity for linked open data to make some meaningful inroads into the new integrated library management systems under development now such as Kuali Ole, Ex Libris Alma, and OCLC Worldshare. It would be good to engage with other colleagues who are also interesting in advocating and experimenting in order to make sure that linked data isn\u2019t left out of this new generation of systems that seek to support core library workflows and applications. I\u2019d also like to attend the summit to learn more specifics about what linked data standards and data sets are most appropriate for implementation scenarios in discovery and delivery systems.\nThe specific use-case for linked data that I\u2019m planning to focus on in the coming year is seeing how linked data can be used to achieve a better integration between the library\u2019s Drupal based content management system and our commercial discovery systems. Drupal has support for RDFa in the core application and also some fully featured modules that support microdata [http://drupal.org/project/microdata] and schema.org [http://drupal.org/project/schemaorg]. I think this support can be used facilitate interesting interactions between our front-end web applications and our core base of library and special collections metadata.",

        "raw_content": "Zen-Existentialism: The Spiritual Decline of the West\nZen-Existentialism, by Lit-Sen Chang, was ultimately disappointing. I learned of it from a reference in the chapter on Buddhism in the book Kingdom of the Cults; the reference suggested that Zen-Existentialism would explain a connection, or certain similarities, between Zen and existentialism. (Note that I didn't say \"Zen Buddhism\"; that's because Chang indicates in Zen-Existentialism that Zen is so different from Buddhism as to be arguably a different belief system.)\nAlthough you can tease out those connections or similarities through close enough reading, the book largely fails, due to inadequate discussion of existentialism. As Lit-Sen Chang was an ardent Zen practitioner before accepting Jesus Christ, he intimately knew the Zen worldview and teachings, and spends half the book explaining them and comparing them to Christianity. This is certainly a good book from which to hear a Buddhist-turned-Christian explain Buddhism and especially Zen (which, again, he claims is different from Buddhism).\nThat works well enough, but the second half of the book is basically a tract for Christianity. It has much less to say about existentialism (and how it's similar to Zen) than about Zen (earlier in the book). That is unfortunate, because that's what I read the book to find out; and Jesus Christ is already my Lord, so I didn't particularly need to read a tract.",

(The same could be said of using public money to support education.) I think, however, that the socialist mentality has at its heart a spirit of rebellion against God, not cooperation with His will. So the purpose is to substitute government action for the activity of the God ordained institution of the natural family, and ultimately to exalt human will and control above and in place of adherence to God's will.\nThe key evidence of this intention is the promotion of so-called \"gay-marriage.\" Once that idea is accepted, the natural (i.e., Creator ordained) basis for the family is necessarily discarded. The duties and attendant rights arising from the bonds of family are left with no legitimacy except what they derive from human legislation. The state may then claim the power to define the duties and rights connected with the family without regard for any natural (that is, Creator ordained) limits upon that power. This allows the state to claim the primary role in the upbringing and education of children. It makes parents at best agents of state power. But once the upbringing and education of children are taken over by the state, the possibility of government of, by and for the people cannot be sustained. Those who control the government simply brainwash new generations to be servile subjects of state power.\nRespect for the God-ordained family as an expression of the natural law instituted by God makes it imperative to preserve respect for each individual's responsibility to God, which the state cannot lawfully supersede. This imperative runs counter to any claim by the state justly to usurp from parents primary authority for the upbringing and education of children. It obliges the state to respect the unalienable right arising from each parent's responsibility before God. Therefore in order to consolidate state power, the doctrine of unalienable rights arising from the natural law must be cast aside.\nNot all of the politicians (in both the Democrat and Republican parties) who promote socialist schemes do so with this intention, aware of the full implications of what they do. At present, however, I believe leaders in both the Democrat and Republican parties serve people and forces (e.g., George Soros) that are fully aware of, and committed to, the goal of discarding the natural law ideas articulated in the American Declaration of Independence; completely overturning the constitutional republic; and emancipating the institutions of human power (chiefly represented by government) from all not merely expedient moral constraint.\nBecause this escape from moral constraint is the desired result, there is no incentive for the government to live within it's means. Money isn't put aside to meet needs or address crises. Needs and crises are simply convenient excuses for claiming control of more and more money. Those seeking unlimited power covet unlimited control of all available resources. Anyone who accepts the supposedly \"pragmatic\", money centered framework of the current discussion of government policy plays into their hands. The irresponsible policies that threaten the American way of life do not arise from bad fiscal practices. The bad practices arise from an ideological agenda intended to destroy the American way of life.\nClearly the first step in thwarting this agenda is to recognize the mainly ideological character of the threat. Then we must:\nRefresh and restore our understanding of the ideas and principles that provide the moral and practical basis for constitutional (justly limited) government, including especially the natural law basis for the doctrine of unalienable rights and its dependence on acknowledging the existence and authority of the Creator, God;\nThink through and apply the consequences of this understanding of America's ideas and principles as the basis for our approach to all the policy issues we face, beginning with the treacherous failure of the existing political system and the elites that control it, as well as the issues of national and economic security arising from that failure;\nGive priority to addressing the aspects of this failure that most directly assault the moral and practical foundations of constitutional government, especially:\nImposition of a false doctrine of \"separation of church and state\" intended to impose government control of all religious belief and activity rather than to protect them from government interference and domination;\nAbrogation of the doctrine of unalienable rights through abuses of executive, legislative and judicial power in order to promote abortion, gay marriage, and wholesale infringement of the right to keep and bear arms;\nMaterial starvation of the right peaceably to assemble and seek redress of grievances being perpetrated under the guise of so-called \"campaign finance reform\" laws, and other legislation aimed at stifling the political activities of the people;\nErosion and confiscation of the independent material resources of the people through the imposition of a tax system that requires the surrender of fundamental constitutional rights and fiscal policies that virtually enslave this and future generations of Americans with debts to foreign powers and international banking institutions;\nDilution of the sovereignty of the American people through lax surveillance of the borders of the United States, lax enforcement of immigration laws, and careless extensions of the privileges of legal residence and citizenship to illegal aliens, thereby promoting a demographic invasion of the United States intended to subvert the sovereignty of the American people.\nSupport proposals to address the crisis of national and economic security that aim to\nReestablish the just limits upon government power imposed by the U.S. constitution, including the exclusion of the judiciary from any share in the legislative power of government;\nAbolish the Federal income tax, and repeal the 16th amendment thus restoring to the people control of the first claim to and use of their property and resources, including especially such income as they derive from their labor or other economically valuable capacities.\nFund the Federal government using tariffs, duties and excise taxes as provided for in the Constitution prior to the imposition of the Federal income tax;\nRestore the Federal character of the Constitutional republic by restricting the activities of the U.S. government to the use of those powers explicitly delegated to it by the Constitution, leaving all others, not explicitly prohibited by the Constitution, to the States and the people as the 10th Amendment requires.\nReestablish the Constitutional provision for enforcement of the 10th amendment by repealing the 17th Amendment, and thus returning the election of U.S. Senators to the control of the people as constituents of their State governments, through which they exercise the residual powers of sovereignty reserved to them by the 10th amendment.\nBase efforts to address the social and economic challenges facing the American people on approaches that fully respect the prerogatives and responsibilities of the natural family; preserve the private sector as the primary and preferred engine of economic activity; and protect the material independence and national security of the American people by reducing the national debt and pursuing trade and other international policies that preserve the industrial capacity of the United States on a competitive basis.\nMaintain the moral and material capacity of the United States to pursue the most effective strategy for national defense, including the capacity to comprehend, influence and where necessary appropriately respond to, threatening international events and situations;\nReject the false national security policy that seeks to compensate for ineffective or incompetent national security measures by targeting the unalienable rights and constitutional liberties of Americans.\nNote that this strategic outline includes both a clear understanding of our situation, and a summary of specific priorities and related policy goals. We need to find and back people who are willing and able to represent both, first as candidates for office, and then as our representatives in government. Because the threat does not come exclusively from this or that particular element of the assault on our way of life people who are good on one or even several issues, but who do not subscribe to or cannot articulate the understanding and priorities that inform our overall purpose, won\u2019t get the job done. Such people could be useful members of the forces needed to renew our liberty, but they will not succeed without general leadership that effectively unifies them in articulate pursuit of the overall strategic plan.\nMoral renewal, key to ending U.S. debt slavery- II\nThe options for dealing with the national debt presented in the Report mentioned my last post quietly highlighted a hard reality. There is no way to prevent the debt level of the United States from crushing the nation's economic prospects without addressing the public financial burden associated with Social Security and Medicare benefits for the elderly. Such programs are part of our society's efforts to address the age old challenge of all human societies- how to care for children, the infirm and the elderly. However, since the original Report to the President of the Committee on Economic Security transmitted to President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935, U.S. efforts have been based on the assumption that, \"in this man-made world of ours\", the God ordained natural family is inadequate to deal with the challenge.\nThis inadequacy purportedly relates to the fact that in the \"man-made world\" the family's material sustenance depends on the income individuals derive from participation in an artificial economy, characterized by large scale industrial and other human enterprises. This income dependency has largely replaced reliance on what they can produce by activities such as agriculture that involve direct interaction with elements of the natural world. According to this reasoning, even with the best intentions and cohesiveness, the family unit cannot secure sufficient income to be proof against the vicissitudes of life in the \"made-made world.\" Government therefore has to replace the family as the locus of provision against misfortune.\nThat original report claimed that the \"task of reconstruction\" the nation faced as a result of the misfortune we call the 'Great Depression' \"does not require the creation of new and strange values.\" In the American context this was, at the very least, a disingenuous declaration. The United States of America was not founded on the notion of a \"man-made world\" but that of a world made by the Creator God who endowed all men with certain unalienable rights. The aim of government is to secure these individual rights, not the individual's material welfare. To be sure, the idea of right includes the individual's responsibility to care for God's gift of life, including all that is necessary to sustain the body, which is its material form. But the idea of human welfare was not confined to meeting its material requirements. It involved, above all, the individual's responsibility to do right, i.e., to carry out the actions required to fulfill the natural law, which encompasses all the determinations of the Creator's will that make human existence possible.\nThe natural family, as defined by the predisposition toward procreation (to be fruitful and multiply) is the primordial focus of this individual responsibility. Though its activities involve actions indispensable for the material security of its members, the bonds of family are not simply ties of material selfish interest. They involve the active acknowledgment of obligations that subordinate material self-interest to the good of other members of the family and the family as such. Given the sacrifice involved in fulfilling these obligations (up to and including giving one's life for their sake) material calculation cannot ultimately be the motive for doing so. Rather it flows from the conformation of the individual's will to the overall will of the Creator as it relates to the life of each family member, but also to human life as such. This conformation of the individual's will to the benevolent will of the Creator, (as well as the feelings or emotions associated with it), is the true essence of family life, which we call love.\nAs expressed in the life of the natural family love is not simply an emotional connection between individuals, though it cannot exist apart from the determination of the individual will. Nor does it simply involve the reflexive subordination of the individual's will and existence to that of the family as a whole, for that would invalidate the individuality of each person's loving commitment to the family. As the individual accepts and respects what is required for the existence of the family as such (and that of each of its members,) so the family respects what is required for the existence of each individual as such, including its uniqueness. Though somewhat paradoxical, this mutual respect is the essence of true family unity. This unity is a covenant of love constituted and sustained by the will of the Creator. It emerges as all members of the family come together to accept and carry out the Creator's benevolent provisions for the possibility and sustenance of human life.\nLove thus informed by respect for the will of the Creator substantiates the culture of voluntary self-sacrifice that contributes to reliable fulfillment of the mutual obligations family life entails. What people do for the sake of love they do of their own free will, even while preserving the natural bondage that defines and characterizes the family as a whole. This unique fusion of bondage and freedom, of individual choice and natural obligation, is the essence of the distinctly human community. Like the distinctive atomic structure that marks the molecules of a material substance, it marks the family as the indispensable building block of all the more extensive communities that, because they respect the prerequisites of humanity, are properly understood to be human communities.\nIn this sense the natural family is literally the building block of human society. If, as the original Social Security report implies, the \"man-made world\" strains the family beyond its capacities, then by threatening the family the \"man-made world\" poses a threat to the humanness of society (i.e., that which is distinctively human about it.) In response to that threat, the \"welfare state\" (socialist) approach started during the New Deal substitutes the coercion based activity of the man-made institutions of government for the love based actions of the God endowed natural family. That is to say, it simply surrenders to the threat. The surrender is couched in terms of material necessity. But since the necessity is \"man-made\" it is contingent upon the human choices responsible for what has been made. Those choices therefore give rise to the threat to the family and the consequent dehumanization of society.\nIn response to a man-made problem the socialists propose reliance on man-made institutions that cast aside the distinctively human basis of the community. The destruction of the family is therefore not an accident of material circumstances, but a purposeful sacrifice of human being as it comes from the hand of God (human nature) to make way for a world of human making. In the \"man-made world\" humanity is no longer recognized as such because man has superseded himself, asserting God-like responsibility for the nature of all things, including, of course, his own.\nThe English philosopher Thomas Hobbes wrote that man is the matter and maker of the state. Though for rhetorical purposes the socialists present the exaltation of the state as a function of compassion, it appears more accurately to be a function of self-idolizing pride. It allows man to believe that he is indebted for what he is to no one but himself. But a debt owed to ourselves is no debt at all. It represents no external constraint upon the will, and involves no acknowledgment of the limits or boundaries of our potential. For the sake of what we will ourselves to be we may therefore expend ourselves without limit, becoming on our own account all that we wish to be, no matter what the cost.\nIn keeping with this arrogant assumption of limitless potential, socialism dissolves the loving bondage of family life in order to unleash a tidal wave of self-worshipping pride that culminates in hateful bondage and self-destruction. The assumption of human self-sufficiency replaces the acknowledgement of our dependency on God's love for us. Mechanisms of coercion and fear replace the willingness to be the agents of that love toward one another. The self-sacrifice that is naturally the free gift of love becomes instead the coercive imposition of sacrifice, by one human being upon another (abortion, starvation of helpless innocents like Terry Schiavo, etc.); and one generation upon another (abortion, death panels for the elderly, the imposition of livelihood destroying debt upon future generations, etc.)\nThis prospect of fear and coercion, though desperately tragic, is not without hope because it is of our own making. What we are doing to ourselves, we can yet and still undo. We can turn away from (repent of?) the ideologies, policies and actions responsible for it and let our God-endowed nature once again take its course. In the next and last article of this series, I will offer some thoughts about what this might involve.\n3 Cheers for Obama\u2019s defeat-no cheer from the RINO victory\nI can't help but look at Scott Brown's win in Massachusetts in the context of the larger strategy clearly being implemented by the RINO (Republican-In-Name-Only) clique that currently controls the GOP. Sean Hannity is the clique's bellwether media tool. It was no coincidence that he featured Mitt Romney on his program last night to revel in the Scott Brown victory. Scott Brown in Massachusetts is the advance guard for Mitt Romney in the White House (or vice-versa). He becomes the poster child for the RINO clique's archetypal GOP candidate who:\nHas no differences in principle with the socialist minded Democrats;\nEmbraces the substance of Obama's socialist agenda, but \"opposes\" Obama by criticizing his implementation of socialism, especially when it comes to fiscal matters;\nAgrees in principle with the Democrats on the fundamental issues of justice and morality but employs the deceptive rhetoric of personal opinion to evade the questions of public law and policy they involve. Such issues include child-murder and other abrogations of the unalienable right to life, as well as the rejection of the God endowed rights of the natural family.\nAs long as the RINO clique can gull the conservative base of the GOP into identifying with and celebrating the success of such candidates, principled conservatives will never (or very rarely) win elections; conservative policies will never be implemented; and the tragic decline of America's liberty will continue to its inevitably ruinous conclusion.\nThe RINO clique pushes the view that only candidates who focus on bread and butter pocketbook issues stand any chance of winning. Money and jobs are all that matters. But money is only a means. It represents the power to procure material effects, including of course the work (jobs) of other people. By insisting that political differences be reduced to disagreements about money and jobs, the RINOs tacitly embrace the notion that human political communities can be formed and maintained on a strictly materialistic basis. But this implies that the individuals who make up the community can also be dealt on a strictly materialistic basis. It further implies that for political purposes, human beings are no better than chattel. Therefore human communities are simply pools of human resources, to be built up or drawn down as administration requires. Like the use of gravel in landscaping, the arrangement and use of these resources involves no moral considerations, and therefore gives rise to no moral conflicts.\nBoth the RINOs and the socialist Democrats subscribe to these views. They operate from a common perspective; one that makes politics, legislation and policy-making no more than different aspects of social engineering. By redefining every political contest to focus on money and jobs they encourage people to redefine themselves and their aspirations in terms that conform to their role in the administration of things. Pesky ideas of intrinsic worth and dignity are pushed into the background with a view to eliminating them altogether. Of course, this also eliminates the real basis for self-respect, replacing it with a false sense of self-esteem built upon the possession and enjoyment of things. Instead of identifying themselves with the moral substance of actions for which they can take responsibility, people are content to identify themselves with external things, which are at best empty, perishable symbols of their pride. Made hollow by their preoccupation with these things, their consciousness of the interior source of their dignity grows ever weaker, until it is entirely dependent upon the presence or absence of those external things.\nAt this stage, people become the ideal subjects of the corporate, socialist administrative state that is the ultimate goal of the RINOs and the socialist Democrats. They become dependency minded, unable to imagine life or action outside the government centered and fabricated framework the social engineers have constructed for their habitation. For them, freedom has no meaning apart from the sense of security they feel when all the government services they depend on seem to be in place. Of course, they can never really experience this \"freedom\", as their sense of dependency is continually teased and manipulated to keep them in subjection to the masters of their state. Like drug dealers, the social engineers administer relief only in order to encourage dependency.\nFor many Americans the prospect of life under the completed dominance of this socialist, administrative state is repugnant. As they understand the Obama faction's open dedication to achieving it, they are rising to oppose such a fate. Sadly for them, the RINO political theatre is showing the same movie, with a less obviously offensive trailer and soundtrack. The RINOs accept the approach that redefines politics to exclude the moral issues that arise from the self-evident truth: human beings are not things. They are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights arising from their responsibility for right and the actions they are obliged to take to fulfill that responsibility. Money and jobs are not the salient issues. The salient issues involve justice, responsibility, and respect for individual rights. The proof of this priority lies in the hard fact we are even now inescapably confronting: we shall find no solution to the economic crisis America faces unless we are willing to address the foundational moral crisis from which it springs. Come back for more on this point in my next posting.\nOn my Facebook page my article on Scott Brown, and the link I posted to his interview with the Boston Herald got a lively and sometimes intense response. I was led to post two responses to some of the points being made, which I thought readers here might find interesting.\nI've notice that some people praise my stand of faith, God and principle to the skies until I maintain the stand beyond the point where they are willing to compromise the fundamentals. We are just shy of reaping the ultimate, deadly fruit of years of listening to the lesser of evils crowd, yet many still fail to see that the first time we sacrificed what we knew to be right to their expediency we made the triumph of Obama and his minions inevitable.\nWe can yet turn things around, but it won't be by making the same deadly mistake.\nI find it ironic that some people think they're defeating Obamacare by electing someone who embraces its worst aspects. True, Brown promises he won't vote for the bad proposals unless they wear a Republican label ( as they did in Massachusetts), but the only thing the label guarantees is confusion and disarray among the conservative forces that should oppose them no matter what party label they wear.\nSo let's see: When Obama proposes to destroy liberty, conservatives should rally to oppose him by voting for people who will only support the destructive proposals when a Republican (like Romney) proposes them. We're to believe this constitutes being practical and pragmatic.\nOf course, it actually sets things up so that liberty can be destroyed with conservative acquiescence, simply by adorning it with a Republican label. I know that by some convoluted logic there are people who see this result as a victory, but I doubt that our morally deprived and government enslaved grandchildren will live in a world that justifies celebrating it. The only thing I'm sure of is that this is a perfect way to assure that no consistent proponents of liberty (real conservatives) ever get elected, which is precisely what the manipulators of the present sham two party system intend.\nI am by the way a fundamentalist, not a purist, when it comes to liberty. Where the house of liberty is concerned, I'm perfectly willing to temporize and compromise when it comes to the color scheme in the rooms, the furniture, the rugs, even the kitchen appliances. But when people propose to blow up the foundations, I won't pretend to see a difference between the people who want to use plastique and those who prefer old fashioned dynamite. Not when our faith tells us that standing firm in God's will is the only way we can expect Him to help us avoid having to live among the ruins of our freedom.\nWhat point is there in unifying around lies? They started by telling us we should support people who were pro-life but quiet about it; then, it was people who spoke as if they were pro-choice but were really pro-life; then people like McCain, who started out pro-life and changed in order to pursue his Presidential ambitions, running on a pro-life record but acting behind the scenes to prevent pro-life action. Now we're supposed to tout someone who isn't pro-life, but unashamedly \"pro-choice\" on child murder; who says he's against Obamacare, but supports its most objectionable features; who claims to believe in the people's right to respect the natural, God ordained family but accepts elite dictatorship on gay marriage in his own state as settled law; who openly vaunts his intention to play the bid-for-power game with the Dems.\nWe're not at the beginning of a process of lies and betrayal. We're in the midst of the crisis brought on by allowing ourselves to be gulled time and again. We let it be known that we would choose the lesser evil, so now it's all that's offered to us. What's worse, it's all some people want to see or hear about. As a result, evil becomes the standard, and anyone not willing to accept that must be driven out.\nOn the key moral issues there's little daylight between Brown and Scozzafava. So why the enthusiasm is his case? Because the hint of victory wipes out all allegiance to truth?\nLike King Lear in the famous Shakespeare play, many people want to reject and drive out the ones who insist on speaking to them truthfully. Lear turns against the daughter who is loyal to his sovereignty, and listens instead to the two who tell him what he wants to hear in order to gain power and then overthrow him.\nOver the years since Reagan left office, this has consistently happened with the conservative base of the GOP. People drive out the voices who reason from conservative principles to conservative conclusions in light of the facts. Then they wonder why they have no good choices for leadership. Now it seems that the only way to get support from some conservatives is to advertise your willingness to betray what they profess to believe. I guess they want you to prove you're sly enough for politics- if you call the competition to see whose the cleverest deceiver \"politics\". I'm not that clever. I guess faith makes me foolish. So does experience. When I ran against Obama in Illinois, I called him a hard line communist because that's what the facts make clear. Many in the GOP characterized that as intemperate because Obama \"sounded so moderate.\" After years of accepting deceit from lesser evils, they no longer made the facts their guide. Yet truly to defeat Obama we must restore the standard of truth that refutes and defeats the preference for human fabrication (idols) that is the heart of Obamanism. I will go on trying to rally people to that standard whatever it takes.\nTomorrow registered voters in Massachusetts have the opportunity to go to the polls to vote in the special election being held to decide who should replaced recently deceased Senator Edward Kennedy in the United States Senate. Some polls indicate that Scott Brown, the Republican nominee now has a slight edge over the Democrat Martha Coakley. I know that people who visit this blog on a regular basis are likely to be deeply concerned about the surrender of liberty that is now far advanced in the U.S. Some will surely be tempted to join the Hallelujah chorus GOP choir director Michael Steele will surely orchestrate should Brown win the vote. Before they do, I hope they will consider the following information posted on Brown's campaign site regarding his stand on issues that are critical to the restoration of America's liberty in principle and in fact:\nWhile this decision should ultimately be made by the woman in consultation with her doctor, I believe we need to reduce the number of abortions in America. I believe government has the responsibility to regulate in this area and I support parental consent and notification requirements and I oppose partial birth abortion. I also believe there are people of good will on both sides of the issue and we ought to work together to support and promote adoption as an alternative to abortion.\nI am passionate about improving the quality of our public schools. Accountability and high standards are paramount. I support choice through charter schools, as well as the MCAS exam as a graduation requirement. I have worked to ensure that all children have access to a quality education. I am a strong advocate for the METCO program, which provides lower income students with broader educational opportunities.\nI believe marriage is between a man and a woman. States should be free to make their own laws in this area, so long as they reflect the people's will as expressed through them directly, or as expressed through their elected representatives.\nThis information supports the conclusion that Scott Brown is not pro-life. Though he pays lip service to choice in education, he gives priority to \"accountability and high standards\", buzzwords for an approach that leaves control of education in the hands of government, rather than where it belongs, in the hands of those who exercise parental responsibility. His professed beliefs about marriage ring hollow against the backdrop of actual events in Massachusetts, where he has said \"the issue is settled... and he respects the decision to allow gay marriages.\"\nThe imposition of gay marriage in Massachusetts was not based on \"the people's will as expressed through them directly, or as expressed through their representatives.\" It was the result of a judicial opinion thereafter imposed by the fiat order of then Massachusetts Governor Romney. In doing so Romney ignored the fact, clearly noted in the opinion itself, that it had no force of law unless and until the legislature chose to enact it.\nOn his site Brown also says that he is \"opposed to the health care legislation that is under consideration in the Congress and will vote against it.\" Yet in almost the same breath he says that \"in Massachusetts, I support the 2006 healthcare law.\" Now the 2006 legislation signed into law by then Governor Romney included a provision that required all Massachusetts residents to purchase health issuance, and provided for government funding of abortions (state funded $50 co-pay abortions for those who qualified.) In both respects, therefore, Scott Brown supports in substance two aspects of Obama's health care proposal that have been most troubling to conservatives. One casts aside the principle that limits government's power to dictate the economic decisions of the individual. The other uses government power to implicate all individuals in a practice that for many violates a paramount rule of conscience while overturning the doctrine of unalienable rights that is the basis for republican government (i.e., limited government based upon the consent of the governed.)\nAs far as I can tell from his campaign site, I agree with Scott Brown on a majority of other issues of major concern to the country. If I subscribed to Michael Steele's absurd \"80-20\" approach to voting, I would heartily encourage Massachusetts voters to support him. Readers of this blog know that I do not agree with Steele. It makes no sense to trust one's health to a doctor who rightly prescribes remedies 90% of the time, when the remaining 10% includes inevitably fatal drugs or procedures. Brown errs on key issues that involve just such fatally flawed positions. Of course the victims of his errors include not just individuals, but the soul and liberty of the nation.\nScott Brown's candidacy typifies the fatal flaw the Republican Party label now represents. Though in fact opposed to Obama on the details of some policies, on issues essential to the survival of liberty he actually embraces the fatally flawed departure from moral and political principle that clears the way for those who wish to destroy the moral and institutional foundations of constitutional government. The label promises remedies, but the bottle contains a few sugarcoated poison pills in key areas.\nSome people have suggested to me that Joseph Lewis Kennedy (not part of the Kennedy clan, a libertarian running as an independent) offers a better alternative. Because of his name he may be siphon support from the Democrat among ignorant voters who think they're supporting one of their clan idols. But this Kennedy appears to embrace the brand of libertarianism that, by failing to defend the moral foundations of liberty, promotes self-destructive licentiousness instead.\nI have pondered and written extensively on the \"lesser of evils\" arguments that supposedly justify supporting candidates like Scott Brown. I invite readers to consider my response. Start with the essay In Good Conscience that I wrote in the context of the 2008 election. The essays I have written about Michael Steele's flawed approach further develop and apply my thinking. To find them, just use the search box in the upper left hand corner at the very top of this page to run a search on 'Michael Steele'.\nIf there were a real conservative in the race in Massachusetts people in the \"lesser of evil' crowd would say he or she had no chance of winning. Of course, as long as we allow their arguments to prevent moral conservatives from uniting beyond what they truly believe, the spoiler effect of the Republican Party means that we will never know. The \"lesser evil\" drives out the greater good, leaving us with no choice but evil in some guise. I suspect that the conservative plurality would win in really contested three way races, even in a State like Massachusetts.\nI know many voters who profess Christian faith who would rejoice to see that outcome. They would thank God for the miracle. The sad fact though is that their own lack of courage and conviction prevents it from happening. Faith can move mountains, but only after those who profess faith allow it to move their own hearts. I pray that the Massachusetts situation isn't a harbinger of the 2010 elections, for that would mean a strong showing by the GOP that left us with a bunch of national legislators who don't disagree with Obama about the immoral, liberty killing, socialist cliff we're driving over. They just think we ought to use a different vehicle and drive toward the deadly drop at a slower speed. Unfortunately, in what now is the ever shorter run, that leaves constitutional liberty just as dead and gone.\nUpdate: (1/18/2010, 11:04 PM)- Scott Brown's stated intentions seem to justify my position. Consider what he says in this article in the Boston Herald. It's worth reading all the way through. Quite an eye opener. The GOP sure needs another Senator who'll vote for judges like Sotomayor. That's alright, since Brown says he'd vote for a pro-life nominee, (whom Obama is sure to propose someday.) How admirably even handed of him! Of course he may have spoken as he did just to curry favor with Democrat voters. If so, who's he lying to- them or the conservatives so anxious to get him elected? But why worry? There's a chance he'll betray the other guys rather than be true to his own stated convictions.\nSure, and the name Arlen Specter rings no bells.\nHere is my article for this week at WND.com. After you read it you can return here to leave your comments.\nIn my article today at WND.com I further develop my response to Glenn Beck's unwarranted attack on those who want to see the credentials that prove that Obama is constitutionally eligible for the Presidency. Please return here and leave your reactions and comments.\nGlenn Beck helps to destroy US Constitution's authority?\nI know that by now some of you have seen or heard about Glenn Beck's deceptive tirade on the issue of Obama's constitutional eligibility for the office of President of the United States. I will respond in my appearance tonight on Stan Solomon's show (cpnlive.com at 7:30 PM EST.) Join us.\nClausewitz defines war as \"an act of force to compel the enemy to do our will.\" The remarkable thing about terrorist warfare is that, once it has been carried out, even a foiled terrorist attack serves that strategic objective. The terrorist understands that what ultimately compels the will is not just the successful application of force but the fear and demoralization that result from it. Therefore fear and demoralization are the terrorist's strategic weapons. Even when a blow is averted, and the enemy escapes immediate death and destruction, the near miss can be enough to raise his level of apprehension. It can increase the weight of his sense of vulnerability, especially when its deadly effect is forestalled purely by chance, while highlighting the futility of all his precautions. The terror strategist can certainly count on circumstances occasionally to produce such outcomes. But I would assume that the thorough practitioner of terrorism builds them into his strategic thinking, especially when he has at his disposal assets who eagerly welcome the platform and notoriety they will assuredly enjoy if they are taken alive. The December 17 terrorist attack against Northwest Airlines Flight 253 should therefore be considered a successful terrorist assault. This is at least in part because, despite the limited scope of its direct physical effects, the volume of its moral and emotional effect is increased by prominent Americans who, knowingly or not, act as amplifiers, broadening the reach and impact of the act itself.\nAs Clausewitz also observed, \"military activity is never directed against material force alone; it is always aimed simultaneously at the moral forces which give it life, and the two cannot be separated. But moral values can only be perceived by the inner eye... Since danger is the common element in which everything moves in war, courage, the sense of one's own strength, is the principal factor that influences judgment.\" The morale of an army or of a whole people during war cannot therefore be sustained apart from their moral perception, which necessarily involves their perception of their own moral position relative to the enemy. Sane people do not by and large sustain difficult and dangerous efforts they believe are unjustified. In large scale conventional warfare, the clear and present threat to their survival may be sufficient justification. But in the terror war, individual engagements directly affect only a relative few. For the rest, the threat to their survival as a whole is an abstraction. With the right kind of leadership, it can become a moral and emotional reality. But that requires an intelligent, capable and sustained articulation of the strategic vision that clarifies for the \"inner eye\" both the physical and moral reality of the threat.\nWith respect to the terror war Islamic forces have been waging against the United States, G. W. Bush proved incompetent at articulating this strategic vision, but at least he tried. Because his agenda and world view are so consistent with those of the forces brought against us, Obama has never made any attempt to do so. On the contrary, he has consistently slandered the United States with a pose of self-flagellating (as regards the nation) and self-righteous (in regard to himself) apology for supposed American acts of domineering injustice that, he implies, naturally result in hateful acts of carefully planned violence against the American people.\nSince he is a wholehearted advocate of the leftist critique of American liberty Obama's conscious validation of the moral position of its enemies comes as no surprise. What surprises some is the fact that a famously staunch conservative like Ron Paul blames U.S. for violence. In a recent TV appearance we find him \"blaming terrorism on the U.S. presence around the globe. 'They're terrorists because we're occupiers,' Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, said on the Larry King show\". Of the motive for the recent terror attack he said \"We bombed Yemen 2 weeks ago\u2026.He (the suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab) did it because of the bombing.\" Ben Stein, also a guest on the show, correctly noted that Paul's statement has no basis in fact since \"there is no U.S. occupation of Yemen or Nigeria\" and Abdulmutallab \"had already been mobilized and had even bought his Northwest ticket before we struck.\" Moreover, as noted in the WND account of the show, \"Reports confirm that there was an air strike by Yemeni jets-and possibly some from Saudi Arabia\", not U.S. forces.\nApparently Ron Paul believes that seeking cooperation from other states in striking against terrorist camps makes us \"occupiers\". In a similar vein, because after repelling Iraq's invasion of Kuwait during the first Gulf War, the U.S. did not invade and occupy Iraq, our role as occupiers somehow explains the 9-11 terror attacks. We are in the wrong because we dare to defend others. We are in the wrong because we dare to ally with others in order to do defend ourselves.\nSuch illogic cannot rightly be described as reasoning. If we make it the basis for dealing with terror, we end up asking ourselves, as Obama apparently does, what we can do to appease their righteous anger at our misdeeds. We end up looking for ways to do their will. Clausewitz would recognize that as a victory, for them. They could never achieve it without assistance from purblind politicians on both ends of the American political spectrum. Thus, tragically, they overcome their supposed opposition to one another, acting in concert as the mortar and pestle of defeatism, slyly grinding away the morale and safety of the nation.",

        "raw_content": "Each week I will feature authors on my blogsite, and in my first post on this topic I will spotlight D.J.Bennett.\nDebbie has told me she is a middle-aged boring civil servant with a secret life as a writer... Which I disagree with as she is anything but boring. She's worked in law enforcement for over 25 years, in a variety of different roles, which may be why the darker side of life tends to emerge in her writing. This can be seen in her novel Hamelin's Child, a thriller set in the seedy world of London's drug rings. Below is a picture from Amazon. Don't click on the image, click on the direct links near the bottom of the page.\nHere is the opening sample from Hamlin's Child (Please note this book contains strong scenes and adult material).\nMichael Redford died on his seventeenth birthday \u2013 the night Eddie picked him up off the street, shot him full of heroin and assaulted him.\nMichael had been drinking steadily all night, matching Jenny\u2019s Breezers with export-strength lager, and when he saw Jen wrapped around his mate\u2019s brother across the dance floor, he didn\u2019t feel at all inclined to slow down. Totally oblivious to observers, they were all hands and lips \u2013 a human octopus of limbs on the red chesterfield sofa with Jenny\u2019s long dark hair covering both their faces. She\u2019d dropped an E in the toilets; he could tell by the shine in her eyes and the way she moved when they\u2019d been dancing earlier \u2013 she always came onto him when she was high, then pulled away when he got interested. Michael kicked the pillar next to him in disgust. He hated nightclubs anyway.\n\u2018She came with you, didn\u2019t she?\u2019\nMichael turned to see a man standing next to him. Blond hair, cream chinos, polo shirt and too much jewellery. He seemed older than the rest of the punters.\nThe man waved his hand in Jenny\u2019s direction. \u2018The girl,\u2019 he added, by way of explanation. \u2018I was watching the two of you earlier.\u2019\nMichael nodded. \u2018Don\u2019t think she\u2019ll be leaving with me.\u2019\n\u2018Girlfriend?\u2019\n\u2018Ex.\u2019\n\u2018Evidently.\u2019 The man smiled sympathetically. \u2018Women are bitches, aren\u2019t they? He\u2019s a dealer, by the way \u2013 saw him outside the bogs before. What\u2019re you drinking?\u2019 He pointed at Michael\u2019s empty glass.\nMichael shook his head. \u2018No, thanks.\u2019 Now fuck off, creep. Something about the stranger made him uneasy.\n\u2018Suit yourself.\u2019 The man shrugged and went off to the bar, returning a few moments later with a pint and what looked like a whisky chaser. He held the pint out. \u2018Got you one, anyway. You look like you could use it.\u2019 He had an impressive assortment of gold rings on his hand, which suggested serious money, even if the guy was a poser.\nOh, what the hell\u2026 \u2018Cheers.\u2019 Michael emptied half of it immediately. He had less than a fiver left from the eighty quid his dad had given him earlier that day and not enough for a taxi home. Still, he couldn\u2019t complain \u2013 there weren\u2019t many parents who\u2019d let their underage son celebrate his birthday in a club, and it was largely due to the intervention of his elder sister Kate that they\u2019d let him go at all. On top of that, she\u2019d even managed to talk them into giving him enough money to enjoy it in style. The money had come with strings of course, but listening to the ten-minute evils of drink and drugs lecture had been a small price to pay for his freedom.\nEnd of sample.

Dealing with the side of life most of us have no first hand knowledge, it entertains and informs. Highly recommended unless you have to get up early for work the next morning.\u201d\n\u201cI was amazed that this book could cover such a sensitive story yet come across so warm! I couldn't put it down and read it within 48 hours. I just HAD to know what would happen next! A great story, well presented.\u201d\n\u201cThis book is not my usual cup of tea, but I couldn't put it down.\u201d\n\u201cThis isn't a 'happily ever after' book; and the questions it raises about self-control and accountability are at best uneasily answered, but it is well written and will stay with you long after you've finished reading it. Recommended.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Born in 1954 and raised in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, Marla Friedman developed her art and interest in academic realism at the Art Students League in New York City with portraitist Nelson Shanks and artistic anatomy with Robert Beverly Hale; and at the National Academy of Design in NYC. She continued her study of natural realism at L\u2019Ecole Albert Defois in the Loire Valley, France. Independent study in France and Italy further expanded her understanding of the Realist Tradition in painting and drawing. While in Paris, Friedman discovered her greatest affinity in the work of the late nineteenth century French academic master portraitist, Leon Bonnat, whose painting reflects a combined influence of French and Spanish sensibilities.\nAs a professional painter in New York City she maintained her painting studio in the historic Carnegie Hall Studios; and was represented for her oil and pastel portraiture with the legendary Grand Central Gallery on West 57th Street.\nMs. Friedman's commissioned portraiture in painting and sculpture is represented exclusively by Hollis Taggart Galleries in New York City.\n\"Friedman\u2019s work illuminates the artist\u2019s reverence for a nuanced and delicate, yet powerful, interpretation of her subject. Academically trained in Europe and New York, and further enriched from having maintained a painting studio in Carnegie Hall, Friedman has earned a deserved place in the lineage of the Realist tradition.\"~ Hollis Taggart Galleries. Alan Artner, Chicago Tribune art critic, states in his review of her one woman retrospective at Hollis Taggart Galleries Chicago, \u2018Friedman Show Evinces Portraiture Elegance..... [ Her paintings ] present the artist\u2019s strong technique with admirable, even beguiling, clarity.\u2019\nThe artist is most inspired by the, \"Subtleties of expression; capturing the smallest, fleeting nuance to reflect the essence of the person and in the moment.\"\nFriedman\u2019s client/commissions include Mr. Alex Manoogian, Armenian General Benevolent Union; Apollo 13 former astronaut Captain James A.

Paintings of Abraham Lincoln are on permanent display at the Illinois Governor\u2019s Mansion in Springfield, Illinois and her large-scale narrative depiction of the assassination of Wild Bill Hickok, \u2018Aces and Eights\u2019, hangs at the site of Wild Bill\u2019s last card game in Deadwood, South Dakota.\nThe Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Illinois commissioned Friedman from 2008 through 2012 to paint the oil portraits of their Lincoln Leadership Prize recipients. In 2009 the ALPLM honored retired United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O\u2019Connor with the unveiling of her portrait at the Union League Club of Chicago. Sittings with Justice O\u2019Connor took place at the United Stated Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.. Prize recipient Archbishop Desmond Tutu\u2019s portrait was presented to the South African leader at a ceremony in 2008 at the Library in Springfield. Former astronaut Captain James A. Lovell was the honored recipient in 2010; Tom Hanks, who portrayed Lovell in the film Apollo 13, unveiled the portrait painting of Captain Lovell depicted in his home library. The late Tim Russert of NBC's Meet the Press was the fourth recipient in 2011. His portrait was unveiled by Luke Russert and announced by colleague Tom Brokaw. In 2012 the former President of Poland Lech Walesa's portrait was unveiled as the ALPLF honored the Nobel Peace Prize recipient with their fifth Lincoln Leadership Prize award. The Leadership Prize recipients and Friedman\u2019s oil portrait of our greatest president, Abraham Lincoln are on permanent exhibit at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library.\nMarla Friedman's discovered interest in sculpture led the artist to a new path and expression in her art. Her bust sculpture of Captain James Lovell was unveiled in 2010 at the opening ceremony of the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois. Her second collaboration with Captain Lovell, where upon the fourth sitting Lovell carved his name into the clay to create an historic document of the work, was ceremonially unveiled in May of 2013 at the former astronaut's namesake hospital.\nThe Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library Foundation commissioned Friedman to sculpt the portrait bust of Abraham Lincoln as the signature work of art for their campaign to retain the Louise Taper Collection of Abraham Lincoln's personal artifacts.\nRosa Parks, 'My Soul Was Rested'\nOn December 1st, 2015 Marla Friedman's sculptural interpretation of Rosa Parks titled, Rosa Parks, \"My Soul Was Rested\" was installed at Manchester Bidwell Corporation in Pittsburgh. The bronze portrait sculpture was commissioned and subsequently donated to Manchester Bidwell in recognition of the 60th anniversary of Rosa Parks' historic act of bravery on December 1st, 1955; and to honor the continuing legacy of Rosa Parks through Manchester Bidwell Corporation and its founder, Mr. William 'Bill' Strickland.\nOf her sculptural rendition of 'The First Lady of Civil Rights', Friedman states, \"I tried to 'listen' and impart in clay the resolute strength and spiritual quality of Rosa Parks and her brave pivotal moment in history. The tranquility of the inner peace she felt in her clarity and her graceful, momentous life so well lived. In Rosa Parks' words, when she made the decision not to give up her seat her \"Soul was rested.\" I sensed that Rosa Parks was a conduit to a higher power in that moment ~ when universal forces converged.\"\nFriedman's commissioned bronze sculpture of Dr. Maya Angelou titled 'Rise' was unveiled at the historic Schomburg Center in Harlem in New York City in February of 2017.\nIn 2017, Friedman's commissioned allegorical bronze sculpture titled 'Peace' was unveiled in Akko, Israel at the Akko Center for Arts and Technology.\nHollis Taggart Galleries featured Friedman's commissioned bronze duo portrait sculpture of Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald at Art Expo Chicago, September 2017.\nDr. Jane Goodall, 'The Red Palm Nut'\nDr. Jane Goodall unveiled her commissioned portrait sculpture titled 'Jane Goodall, Tree and the Waterfall' and the narrative bronze monument titled 'The Red Palm Nut' on April 3rd, 2018 at the Field Museum of Chicago, on the occasion of Goodall's 84th birthday. Dr. Goodall and Marla Friedman collaborated over a two year period on both sculptures and both sculptures were inscribed with Dr. Goodall's signature carved into the clay, cast in bronze. The Red Palm Nut depicts the magical moment when Jane Goodall, then a twenty-six year old field researcher of the wild chimpanzee in Gombe, Tanzania first connected with chimpanzee David Greybeard when she extended her hand to offer a red palm nut. David Greybeard refused the palm nut and let it fall to the ground but held onto to Goodall's hand, signaling in that moment his acceptance and understanding. It was to remain Dr. Goodall's fondest memory of her time in Gombe ~ when in that poignant moment, the world of the Gombe wild chimpanzee first opened to her and the resulting unprecedented research that followed.\nSelf taught in sculpture, Friedman has been inspired by the study of the classical masters Augustus Saint Gaudens and Daniel Chester French, by the powerful work of Augustus Rodin and, most significantly, by the natural realism of portraitist Jo Davidson (1883-1953), who sculpted his subjects with the immediacy of life sittings. The artist resides in the Chicago area.",

        "raw_content": "Who Gives Us Our Rights?\nTwo hundred and forty-one years ago today the Second Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were \u201cand of Right ought to be Free and Independent States . . .\u201d In doing so it not only gave birth to a new nation but also, in the same document, the Declaration of Independence, gave voice to the uniquely American understanding of liberty and human rights which the nation has upheld since that time.\nAmong the Declaration\u2019s opening sentences, Congress declared:\n\u201cWe hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. \u2014 That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed . . .\u201d\nWe do not have a King who grants us certain \u201crights\u201d as a favor or gift. While written statements of our rights (and courts to enforce those written statements) are important, they are not the source of our rights. Neither are our rights the creation of our society or culture, or something imposed by the majority, or the most powerful, of us upon the rest. And finally, they are not something which philosophy professors derive in their ivory towers.\nRather, as the Founders recognized and affirmed in the Declaration, our Creator, God, is the source of our inalienable rights. All we can do in our Constitutions and Courts is to faithfully recognize and uphold these God-given rights.\nThis fundamental insight into the source and nature of our human rights has several important implications which help to set apart this American understanding of those rights from the concepts of rights existing elsewhere:\nFirst, as the Book of Isaiah teaches, we must ultimately look not to walls and fortifications, human alliances or the force of arms for our liberty and security, but to our God as their ultimate source and guarantor;\nSecond, rights that are the generous gift from a King or the creation of a legislative or judicial body can be revoked or changed in the same manner as they were given or created, and are thus always at risk;\nThird, since our God is a God of all nations, the rights with which He endows us are the same rights with which He endows people of every time and place; and\nLastly, because our God is unchanging (Mal. 3:6; Nu. 23:19; Is. 40:8, 40:28; Jas. 1:17), we can feel secure that our God-given rights will not be altered or revoked at God\u2019s whim.\nWe should always remain vigilant, first to affirm that God is the source of our rights, and then to resist any attempt to limit, restrict or take away those rights using the tools that God has given us, including our written Bill of Rights, our court system and our ability to choose our own government officials. And we should be prepared, each of us, to exercise our rights from time to time, even when that might be unpopular, and to stand up for those rights even when that is uncomfortable or might subject us to penalty, to insure that they remain fresh and available to future generations of Americans.\nHey there! I could have sworn I've been to this website before but after browsing through\nsome of the post I realized it's new to me. Anyhow, I'm definitely happy I found it and I'll be bookmarking\nGreetings! I've been following your blog for a while now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and give you a shout out from Humble Texas!\nam shocked why this accident didn't happened in advance!",

As a nonpartisan funder of music education, we take no position on the conflict itself. But whatever the sources and dynamics of that conflict, the fall of the Taliban has brought one change in which the world can rejoice: the return of music, once outlawed. Whatever successors there may be, may music remain alive, in Afghanistan and everywhere.\nMusic is both a source and a signal of hope. It is something to be fostered wherever possible, and of particular importance during times of grief. In the memory of those lost, in support of those moving on, and for the promise of a brighter future, we ask you to pause and reflect on a song written 30 years ago this month, words you may know only from a soft drink commercial:\nI\u2019d like to hold it in my arms\nAnd keep it company\nI\u2019d like to see the world for once\nAll standing hand in hand,\nAnd hear them echo through the hills\nFor peace throughout the land.\nThat\u2019s the song that I hear\nLet the world sing today\nA song of peace that echoes on\nAnd never goes away\nWe appreciate your continued support in helping make the world more musical and hope that, whatever song you hear, you\u2019ll sing it aloud once today. The world needs it.\nThe Board of the Mockingbird Foundation\n(Lyrics by Backer, Davis, Cook, and Greenway)",

You can find out more about the team here.\nThe evaluation has the following aims:\nTo track and assess the achievements of the initiative and to estimate the extent to which these are attributable to the projects and interventions delivered.\nTo calculate the costs of the projects and the value of benefits to the exchequer and wider society.\nTo identify what interventions and approaches work well, for which people and in what circumstances.\nTo assess the extent to which the Big Lottery Fund\u2019s principles are incorporated into project design and delivery and to work out the degree to which these principles influence success.\nTo explore how projects are delivered, understand problems faced and to help identify solutions and lessons learned.\nUnderpinning all of these objectives and cutting across all areas of the evaluation is a commitment to meaningful involvement of service users and other stakeholders and sharing findings and learning throughout.\nThe evaluation is using a range of methods to gather evidence throughout the eight years that projects are being delivered. A common data framework has been agreed so that the same set of information is collected from every funded project. To complement this we are carrying out face-to-face surveys with project beneficiaries at key intervals. Detailed interviews with lead-partners, stakeholders and beneficiaries will help us to understand more about how projects are being delivered and their impact.\nWe are also collecting data from people with multiple needs in other parts of the country that have not received the Big Lottery investment. This will allow us to compare what has been achieved by the projects with what might have happened anyway without the funding. You can find out more about the organisations that are supporting this aspect of the evaluation soon.\nFindings and learning from the evaluation are communicated in a range of ways, including inspiration and ideas, evaluation findings, practice guides, briefings, and events.\nLearning is a central element of the initiative.

        "raw_content": "LOS ANGELES - With 2019 marking 50 years since David Bowie's first hit, \"Space Oddity,\" Parlophone is set to release a 7\" vinyl singles boxed set of nine previously unreleased recordings* from the era during which \"Space Oddity\" was first conceived.\nThe title SPYING THROUGH A KEYHOLE is a lyric taken from the previously unknown song \"Love All Around\" and though most of the other titles are known, these versions have never been officially released until late last year (see footnote). Most of the recordings are solo vocal and acoustic home demo performances, unless otherwise stated.\nThe photography that adorns the box front and the print inside is by Ray Stevenson and was taken in Tony Visconti's flat in the summer of 1968.\nSPYING THROUGH A KEYHOLE (DEMOS AND UNRELEASED SONGS)\n\"Mother Grey\" (Demo)\nThis mid-tempo tale of a fledgling son fleeing the nest features multi-tracked vocals, guitars and harmonica from Bowie.\n\"In The Heat Of The Morning\" (Demo)\nA well-known early Bowie song but presented here in demo form with final lyrics.\n\"Goodbye 3d (Threepenny) Joe\" (Demo)\nA charming demo from 1968 not to be confused with \"Threepenny Pierrot,\" a song performed by Bowie captured for posterity in the Scottish TV production of Pierrot In Turquoise early in 1970.\n\"Love All Around\" (Demo)\nA delightful love song from whence the title of this collection came: \"I see a pop tune spying through a keyhole from the other room.\"\n\"London Bye, Ta-Ta\" (Demo)\nAn early demo version of the song with completely different lyrics in a couple of the verses compared to those of the later full band versions.\n\"Angel Angel Grubby Face\" (Demo Version 1)\nThe first and only previously known demo of this song.\nA later version of the same song with alternative lyrics.\n\"Space Oddity\" (Demo Excerpt)\nThe lyric and arrangement variations lend weight to the theory that this fragment is possibly the first ever recorded demo of one of Bowie's most famous songs.\n\"Space Oddity\" (Demo) with John 'Hutch' Hutchinson\nOriginally conceived as a song for a duo to perform, this is the first known version to feature John 'Hutch' Hutchinson again with lyric and arrangement variations.\nDue to the nature of some of the solo home demos where Bowie accompanied himself on acoustic guitar, the recording quality isn't always of a usual studio fidelity. This is partly due to Bowie's enthusiastic strumming hitting the red on a couple of the tracks, along with the limitations of the original recording equipment and tape degradation. However, the historical importance of these songs and the fact that the selections are from an archive of tracks cleared for release by Bowie, overrides this shortcoming.\n*Although this will be the first physical release of these tracks, Parlophone did make them available on streaming services for a limited period only in December 2018.",

        "raw_content": "Pope Francis and bishops from around the world have called for a binding global climate agreement, written by Katie McSweeney, CatholicEarthcare Australia.\nAs United Nations leaders gathered at the COP20 climate summit in Peru last week, Pope Francis and Catholic Bishops from around the world called for a global climate treaty and an end to the use of fossil fuels.\n\u201cWe can find adequate solutions only if we act together and unanimously\u201d, Pope Francis said a written statement to Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, Peru\u2019s minister of the environment and host president of the climate summit. He encouraged the leaders to make the right decisions quickly, as they \u201caffect all of humanity, especially the poorest and future generations\u201d. He also urged them to work together, as \u201can effective fight against global warming will be possible only with a collective and responsible answer\u201d.\nThe Bishops have released a statement saying they believe it is necessary for them to \u201caccompany the political process\u201d in order to protect frontline communities suffering from the impacts of climate change. This is the first time that a group of senior church figures have spoken out about climate negotiations.\n\u201cWe express an answer to what is considered God\u2019s appeal to take action on the urgent and damaging situation of global climate warming\u201d the Bishops said in their statement released on December 9. \u201cWe are convinced that everyone has a capacity to contribute to overcome climate change and to choose sustainable lifestyles\u201d.\nThis call for immediate action on climate change is one of many statements from the Catholic Church focusing the environment and social justice. It may be a foreshadowing of the upcoming ecological Encyclical, which Pope Francis is scheduled to release sometime during 2015.\nHowever a commitment from the Church to combat climate change is not new, and in a written statement released in 2005, the Australian Catholic Bishops referred to global warming as one of the major issues of our time. \u201cWe now urge Catholics as an essential part of their faith commitment to respond with sound judgments and resolute action to the reality of climate change\u201d the Bishops said.\nCatholic Earthcare Australia, the ecological agency of the Australia Catholic Bishops Commission, recognises the significance of these global Catholic Church statements on climate change. \u201cWith over 1 billion Catholics across the world, our faith-group has the power and the heart to make a real impact at this critical time of negotiations on climate change,\u201d said Jacqui Remond, the Director of Catholic Earthcare. \u201cIt is worth celebrating these statements because they signal the practical actions that need to be taken at every level, which we hope all nations will commit to in Paris in December 2015.\u201d\nClimate talks in Lima wrapped up on December 14, with delegates approving a basic framework to address global warming. This agreement, known as the \u201cLima Call For Climate Action\u201d, asks governments to submit national plans for cutting emissions by March next year. These plans should then form the basis of a global agreement in Paris.\nFor further information please contact Katie McSweeney, Communications & Marketing Manager at Catholic Earthcare Australia, on (02) 8907 9500 or katie@catholicearthcare.org.au.\n\u2190 Disability and Euthanasia Mass for Victims of Siege at Martin Place \u2192",

About 40,000 men and 30,000 women per year in the USA develop melanoma. In addition to sun exposure, there are independent genetic risk factors such as a variation in the \u201cred hair\u201d gene that increases in frequency the further one\u2019s ancestral home is north of Africa. http://www.mycancergenome.org/melanoma/\nMelanoma, as with all cancers, has its own genotype variations. There are at least five melanoma genotypes which can be detected with molecular profiling (for more information look at Vanderbilt\u2019s \u201cMy cancer genome\u201d). Each type has its own different mutations.\nJust fewer than 50% of melanomas have a mutation in BRAF, a cell signaling pathway. Approximately 90% of the BRAF mutations produce a substitution of glutamic acid for valine at codon 600 in the gene product. This is apparently a critical factor in the development and aggressiveness of melanoma cells. About 20% of melanomas have an NRAS mutation, 1% have both BRAF and NRAS and 30% have neither mutation. Interestingly, among patients 20-30 years old, 86% will have the BRAF mutation but only 22% of those over 70 years have it. As a result, the new drugs that target the BRAF mutation gene product will be of relatively more utility in younger than in older individuals.\nOne of the new targeted drugs is an inhibitor of the BRAF mutated gene product called Vemurafenib \u2013 the name based on \u201cV600E mutated BRAF inhibitor.\u201d Vemurafenib (Zelboraf) decreased the relative risk of death by 63% and the risk of tumor progression by 74% when combined with dacarbazine (an alkylating agent also known as DTIC or imidazole carboxamide which has been the long time standard of care for metastatic melanoma) compared to dacarbazine alone in a large cohort of patients with the BRAF V600E mutation in their melanoma. The FDA approved this drug for treating melanoma in August, 2011 for BRAF mutation positive patients as determined with a companion diagnostic device called the BRAF V600 Mutation Test.\nIn this phase 3 trial of 675 patients, there as 48% response rate and a 5.3 month median progression free survival with Vemurafenib compared with dacarbazine with its 5% response rate and 1.6 month progression free survival median. Exciting as this sounds, it is no panacea and certainly not a cure although some patients had both excellent tumor shrinkage and long survivals, both rarely seen with dacarbazine. Side effects were acceptable but squamous cell skin cancers developed in some and activity declined over time. To deal with the latter, new trials are evaluating combined targeted therapy by adding a MEK gene product inhibitor. In early results, there was increased activity and fewer skin tumors developing.\nThe cost, according to the manufacturer, Genentech, will be about $60,000 for a course of therapy over about six months. Vemurafenib tends to have rapid responses and so might be especially important for patients with extensive disease or severe symptoms. Despite the enthusiasm for a drug that actually has real benefit, it is not curative therapy nor does it produce truly long lasting responses. Still it is a major improvement and offers real benefits and hope to patients, a testament to the concept of targeted therapy based on genomic information.\nAnother drug, ipilimumab (Yervoy) also has shown substantial activity against metastatic melanoma. Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA 4) and acts to enhance T-cell activation. In other words, it activates the immune system. It was approved by the FDA in March, 2011. The basic clinical trial that led to approval had 502 poor prognosis patients yet with good performance status. Patients randomized to ipilimumab plus dacarbazine had a longer time of progression free survival and the responses that developed persisted longer (19.3 vs. 8.1 months) than those who received dacarbazine alone. Overall survival was 11.2 months compared to 9.1 months but there were about 25% alive at four years which is quite noteworthy. Unfortunately, it can cause or exacerbate autoimmune disease because it allows T-cells to stay activated. The manufacturer, Bristol Meyers Squibb, at the request of the FDA, has sent a booklet to all medical oncologists to guide attention to these potentially serious side effects. It costs about $120,000 for a course of treatment.\nSo these are encouraging improvements for a tumor that has been exceptionally resistant to new approaches to treatment over the years. The key has been to understand the genetic mutations in the tumor, then to analyze the gene product and finally to create a drug that inhibits the gene product\u2019s activity \u2013 genomic informed therapy. Going forward, treatment will probably be a combination of compounds that interact with various mutations\u2019 effects, hopefully augmenting the activity shown by these two drugs to date.",

        "raw_content": "Diagnostic Accuracy of Nerve Conduction Studies in Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome\nAnthony Montanez, MD; University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA; John R. Fowler, MD\nOrthopaedic Surgery, UPMC, Pittsburgh, PA\nBackground: The utility of electrodiagnostic studies (EDX) continues to be a point of debate in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). If surgeons can predict the results of EDX with high accuracy, it may suggest that ordering the test is unnecessary from a diagnostic standpoint.\nMethods: Two surgeons with sub-specialty training in hand surgery were asked to classify hands into \"definitely having or not having CTS\" or into an \"unclear category\" when presented with patients having a chief complaint of hand paresthesias. Clinical diagnosis was compared against EDX, ordered after the initial patient visit, as the reference standard.\nResults: Of the 175 hands, 111 hands were predicted to have CTS, 37 hands were predicted not to have CTS, and 27 hands had an unclear diagnosis. Overall surgeon accuracy was 86% (124/148). Accuracy was significantly improved to 88% when subdivided by a positive prediction of CTS (p = 0.03). Sensitivity was 90% and specificity was 67%. The senior surgeon had a higher accuracy at 90% than the more junior surgeon at 74% (p = 0.02).\nConclusions: Surgeons with sub-specialty training in hand surgery are able to accurately diagnosis CTS without EDX. Surgeon experience is important and resulted in a higher accuracy in predicting EDX results.",

        "raw_content": "2001 (Sunday) For the second time in 10 days, an Argentine president has abruptly resigned, falling victim to rising social tensions and plunging the country further into political and economic turmoil. Adolfo Rodr\u00edguez Saa quit after complaining that his Peronist party had abandoned him, leaving him unable to confront the mounting crises plaguing Argentina saddled with a $132 billion public debt. He said: \"They've asked me to do in seven days what hasn't been done in the last 30 years.\"\nRodr\u00edguez Saa became interim president on 23 December 2001, two days after President Fernando De la Rua was forced out amid protests and looting over the government's inability to contain an economic crisis and unemployment now topping 18%. The violence left 28 people dead. Argentina's third president in less than two weeks, his swift departure left the presidency in the hands of House majority leader Eduardo Camano. Ramon Puerta, the Senate leader who served briefly as president following de la Rua's resignation, quit his post today to avoid inheriting the presidency again. Camano said he would call a special legislative assembly to appoint a new president.\nRodr\u00edguez Saa was chosen by Congress to lead Argentina until a new presidential election slated for 03 March 2002. His resignation left Argentina without a clear consensus on how to resolve a devastating economic crisis that has prompted rising social tensions and street protests.\nRodr\u00edguez Saa's presidency began to unravel late in the night of 28 December 2001 as thousands of people flooded downtown Buenos Aires to demand that he lift a month-old banking freeze limiting cash withdrawals to $250 a week and remove politicians accused of corruption from his Cabinet. The protests left 12 police officers injured.\nDe la Rua imposed the capital controls on 01 December 2001 to stem a run on the country's banks that threatened the currency, the peso, now tied one-to-one with the dollar. Seeking to shore up political support, Rodr\u00edguez Saa called Peronist party provincial governors to a meeting today on key issues including the March election to complete the two years of De la Rua's term. But it broke down as only a handful of the governors offered their support. Some Peronist leaders were reportedly worried Rodr\u00edguez Saa was moving to extend his time in office, set at 60 days by a congressional body that appointed him a week ago. Rodr\u00edguez Saa said he had little choice but to step down after failing to cobble together support for his caretaker administration, and blamed several members of his party for putting their presidential ambitions ahead of solving the country's pressing problems. Announcing his resignation, he said several powerful Peronist provincial governments had withdrawn support for his presidency, singling out Jos\u00e9 Manuel de la Sota, who has made it known his ambitions to run for the presidency. But de la Sota complained some in the Peronist party were not consulted by Rodr\u00edguez Saa during his brief time in office on his plans to print a parralel new currency (the \u0093argentino\u0094) and launch an ambitious jobs program to inject needed money into the nation's bruised economy.\nArgentines have taken to the streets twice in the last two weeks, banging pots and pans in spontaneous protests and unleashing their anger at what they view as a political leadership incapable of leading the country out of crisis. Camano, the temporary leader, urged people not to mount large-scale protests. \"I am begging people not to demonstrate so we can have a chance to solve this crisis,\" he said. \"If they want to bang pots, I ask that they do it at home.\"\nThe political bickering in Argentina's largest party had left little room for any successor to build consensus on how to pull the country out of the political and economic crisis.\n1996 Encryption export restrictions in US.\nThe US Commerce Department announces a White House policy setting rules on the export of encryption devices. The new policy indicated that export licenses for 56-bit encryption keys would be issued on a case-by-case basis, which infuriated the software industry. Software lobbyists said the new rules represented a reversal in policy by President Clinton, who had signed an executive order in October allowing companies to sell more powerful encryption. Computer-industry executives felt the restrictive export laws were seriously cramping their ability to compete abroad.\n1993 Israel and the Vatican agree to recognize each other.\n1990 Iraq's information minister, Latif Nussayif Jassim, says that US President Bush \"must have been drunk\" when he suggested that Iraq might withdraw from Kuwait, and Jassim adds: \"We will show the world that America is a paper tiger. \u0093\n1988 Canadian Senate OK's free trade pact; with US\n1988 Former Soviet President Brezhnev's son-in-law sentenced to 12-yr (bribery)\n1988 Mercedes-Benz pays $20.2-M fine failed to meet '86 government fuel standard.\n1988 Yugoslav government resigns\n1988 North subpoenas Reagan & Bush as defense witnesses for upcoming trial.\n1986 US begins Military exercises in Honduras.\n1985 President Zia of Pakistan ends martial law.\n1977 Carter holds 1st news conference by US President in Eastern Europe (Warsaw).\n1976 Governor Carey of New York pardons seven inmates, closing the book on the Attica uprising.\n1975 Constitution of Democratic Republic of Madagascar comes into force\n1972 \u0093Christmas bombing\u0094 stops, Vietnam peace talks to resume.\nOfficials in Washington, D.C., announce that the peace talks in Paris between National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger and North Vietnamese negotiator Le Duc Tho will resume on January 2. On December 28, Hanoi agreed to return to the negotiations, and President Nixon ordered a halt to Linebacker II, the intensive bombing campaign of North Vietnam. Nixon initiated the campaign on December 18 when the North Vietnamese, who walked out of the peace negotiations in Paris, refused his ultimatum to return to the talks. During the course of the bombing, 700 B-52 sorties and more than 1000 fighter-bombers dropped an estimated 20'000 tons of bombs, mostly over the densely populated area between Hanoi and Haiphong. When the communist negotiators returned to Paris, the peace talks moved along quickly. On 23 January 1973, the United States, North Vietnam, the Republic of Vietnam, and the Viet Cong signed a cease-fire agreement that took effect five days later.\n1971 The Anglican--Roman Catholic International Commission announces it has reached an agreement on the essential teachings about the Eucharist.\n1970 Vietnamization of navy river activity.\nThe South Vietnamese Navy receives 125 US vessels in a ceremony marking the end of the US Navy's four-year role in inland waterway combat. This brings the total number of vessels turned over to the South Vietnamese Navy to 650. About 17,000 Americans remained with the South Vietnamese Navy in shore positions and as advisers aboard South Vietnamese vessels. The transfer of inland waterway combat responsibility was part of President Nixon's Vietnamization program, in which the war effort was transferred to the South Vietnam so US troops could be withdrawn.\n1969 US President Richard Nixon signs a tax bill which exempts nine million low-income citizens and reduces tax rates for individuals by 5%.\n1965 Marcos sworn in as the Philippines' 6th President.\nFormer Philippines Senate president Ferdinand E. Marcos is inaugurated President of the nation. Marcos' regime would span 20 years and become increasingly authoritarian and corrupt. Ferdinand Marcos was a law student in the late 1930s, when he was tried for the assassination of a political opponent of his politician father. Convicted in 1939, he personally appealed the case before the Philippine Supreme Court and won an acquittal.\nDuring the Japanese occupation in World War II, Marcos allegedly served as leader of the Filipino resistance movement, but US government records indicate that he played little role in anti-Japanese activities. In 1949, he was elected to the Philippines House of Representative, thanks in large part to his fabricated wartime record. In 1959, he moved up to the Senate and from 1963 to 1965 served as Senate president. In 1965, he broke with the Liberal Party after failing to win his party's presidential nomination and ran as the candidate of the Nationalist Party. After a bitter and decisive campaign, he was elected president. In 1969, he was reelected.\nMarcos' second term was marked by increasing civil strife and violence by leftist insurgents. In 1972, following a series of bombings in Manila, he warned of an imminent communist takeover and declared martial law. In 1973, he assumed dictatorship powers under a new constitution. Marcos used the military to suppress subversive elements but also arrested and jailed his mainstream political opponents. His anti-Communist activities won him enthusiastic support from the US government, but his regime was marked by misuse of foreign aid, repression, and political murders. His beauty-queen wife, Imelda Marcos, was appointed to important political posts and lived a famously extravagant lifestyle that included a massive wardrobe featuring thousands of pairs of shoes.\nIn 1981, Marcos was dubiously reelected president. In rural areas, insurgency by communists and Muslim separatists grew. In 1983, Marcos' old political opponent Benigno Aquino, Jr., returned from exile and was assassinated by military agents of Marcos as soon as he stepped off the plane. The political murder touched off widespread anti-Marcos protests, and in 1986 he agreed to hold a new presidential election.\nAquino's widow, Corazon Aquino, ran against Marcos and, on 07 February 1986, the election was held. Marcos was declared victorious, but independent observers charged the regime with widespread electoral fraud. Aquino's followers proclaimed her president, and much of the military defected to her side as massive anti-Marcos demonstrations were held. On February 25, Marcos, his wife, and their entourage were airlifted from the presidential palace in Manila by US helicopters and fled to Hawaii.\nAfter substantial evidence of Marcos' corruption emerged, including the looting of billions of dollars from the Philippine economy, Marcos and his wife were indicted by the US government on embezzlement charges. After Ferdinand Marcos' death in 1989, Imelda was cleared of the charges, and she was allowed to return to the Philippines in 1991, where she unsuccessfully ran for the presidency the following year. In 1993, Imelda Marcos was convicted of corruption by a Philippine court, but she avoided serving her 12-year prison sentence. In 1995, she was elected to the House of Representatives. In 1998, she unsuccessfully ran for president again and subsequently retired from political life.\n1953 The first color TV sets go on sale in the US for about $1175.\n1952 Tuskegee Institute reports 1952 as 1st yr in 71 with no lynchings in US\n1950 Acheson calls for renewed effort to meet Communist threat\nIn a fiery statement, Secretary of State Dean Acheson declares that the United States will increase its efforts to contain communist aggression and calls upon the American people for support and sacrifice.\nThe statement was issued just weeks after hundreds of thousands of communist Chinese troops entered the Korean War, threatening to expand the conflict into a third world war. Acheson noted that 1950 had been a \"dark year,\" but also argued that the United States had made great advances in thwarting communist machinations around the world. Nevertheless, he continued, the United States faced a situation of \"extreme gravity. \u0093 \"Our freedom, our way of life, is menaced,\" Acheson declared. In some of the harshest language in the statement, the secretary argued, \"The present difficulties arise from the lawless and cynical conduct of the communists who would destroy peace and freedom. \u0093 Despite talk of peace from the Soviet Union, said Acheson, its recent actions revealed its talk to be \"nothing but camouflage to cloak the naked imperialism of its aims. \u0093 The United States and the American people needed to support all efforts to defeat the communist threat. \u0093No sacrifices are too great when the future of this nation is at stake. \u0093\nAcheson's heated rhetoric might have been an attempt to make up for his handling of foreign policy during the previous two years, when the secretary fell under near-constant criticism for not taking a tough stand against communism. Attacks by Senator Joseph McCarthy had been particularly loud and damaging. As 1950 drew to a close Acheson took a hard-line, declaring that the United States was willing and able to meet any challenge posed by the communists and that American commitment to Korea would not falter.\n1947 Romania's King Michael is forced to abdicate by Soviet-backed Communists. Communists now control all of Eastern Europe.\n1944 King George II of Greece, renounces his throne\n1936 First US sit-down strike (by UAW at GM Fisher Body Plant)\nThe passage of the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act) in 1935 promised to ease the plight of beleaguered auto workers by permitting the formation of the United Automobile Workers. Needless to say, the nascent union hardly pleased the industry's business chiefs, who attempted to crush the UAW by challenging the constitutionality of the Wagner Act. However, under the charge of Walter Reuther, the UAW refused to wilt; instead, the union employed sit-down strikes, a tactic developed by French workers. Rather than picket outside a factory only to be ignored or forcibly cleared away, the sit-down strike enabled workers to halt production and seize the plant \"from the inside. \u0093 On this day in 1936, workers at the General Motors plant stopped work en masse, marking the first instance in the US of the sit-down strike. The gambit proved effective: a series of successful sit-down strikes, coupled with the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the Wagner Act forced GM's hand. On February 11, 1937, GM acknowledged the UAW as its employees official \"bargaining agent,\" sending ripples throughout the industry, as other auto makers gradually accepted the legitimacy of the union.\nStrikes closed seven General Motors factories in Flint, Michigan. The giant auto maker employed upwards of 200,000 men, and more than one in six of them stopped working during the strike. The United Automobile Workers of America, a labor union, was quarrelling with G.M. over the right to bargain collectively with manufacturers. The work stoppage was so large that it threatened to force layoffs in the steel, glass, and battery-manufacturing industries, due to reduced demand.\n1935 Italian bombers destroy Swedish Red Cross unit in Ethiopia\n1932 The Soviet Union bars food handouts for housewives under 36 years of age.

The treaty settles the dispute over the exact location of the Mexican border west of El Paso, Texas, and establishes the final boundaries of the southern United States. For the price of fifteen million dollars, later reduced to ten million, the US acquires nearly 80'000-square kilometers of land in what is now southern New Mexico and Arizona.\nJefferson Davis, the secretary of war under President Franklin Pierce, had sent Gadsden to negotiate with Santa Anna for the land, believed by a group of political and industrial leaders to be a strategic location for the construction of the southern transcontinental railroad. In 1861, the \"big four\" of western railroad construction--Collis P. Huntington, Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker--establishes the Southern Pacific branch of the Central Pacific Railroad.\n1835 After gold discovery in GA, Cherokees forced to move across Miss R\n1817 1st coffee planted in Hawaii\n1816 Poet Shelley marries consort after suicide of wife he abandoned.\nPoet Percy Bysshe Shelley, 24, marries Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, 19, two years after eloping with her and abandoning his wife, who now has drowned herself. .\nBorn 4 August 1792, Shelley, the heir to his wealthy grandfather's estate, was expelled from Oxford in March 1811 when he refused to acknowledge authorship of The Necessity of Atheism. He eloped with his first wife, Harriet Westbrook, the daughter of a tavern owner, in late August 1811. However, just a few years later, Shelley fell in love with the Mary Godwin, daughter of a prominent reformer and early feminist writer. Shelley and Godwin fled to Europe, arriving in France on 28 July 1814.\nShelley's inheritance did not pay all the bills, and the couple spent much of their married life abroad, fleeing Shelley's creditors. While living in Geneva, the Shelleys and their dear friend Lord Byron challenged each other to write a compelling ghost story. Only Mary Shelley finished hers, later publishing the story as Frankenstein (1818). The Shelleys had five children but only one lived to adulthood. After Shelley drowned (poetic justice!) in a sailing accident on 18 July 1822, when Mary Shelley was only 24, she edited his Posthumous Poems (1824), Poetical Works (1839), and his prose works. She lived on a small stipend from her father-in-law, Lord Shelley, until her surviving son inherited his fortune and title in 1844. She died on 1 February 1851 at the age of 53.

He was captured the next day after firing 23 shots at a Norfolk, Virginia, medical clinic.\nSalvi, who worked in a beauty salon in New Hampshire before his murderous rampage, was described by acquaintances as a \"very odd\" man. Despite his increasingly erratic behavior, Salvi's parents resisted getting professional treatment for him. As his mental state deteriorated, he became a zealous anti-abortion activist.\nIn March 1996, Salvi's trial jury rejected his insanity defense and convicted him of murder. After receiving two life sentences, he killed himself in prison in November 1996.\nHowever, the fallout from Salvi's attack did not end there. Richard Seron, one of the shooting victims, filed a lawsuit against the clinic's landlord for failing to provide security measures Seron claimed would have prevented the attack. After losing that suit, Seron enraged abortion providers by lobbying against a law that would establish a buffer zone outside clinics. He further antagonized pro-choice activists by filing a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, claiming that he was entitled to a $100'000 reward for assisting in the capture of John Salvi.\nBut even Richard Seron did not inspire as much public ire as Deborah Gaines, who was scheduled to have an abortion at one of the clinics on the day of the shooting. After the incident, she couldn't go through with the abortion and decided to have the child. She later sued the clinic for wrongful life, arguing that the clinic should pay the costs of raising the child since their alleged negligence prevented her abortion. The case, however, was dismissed before trial.\n1982 Philip Hall, mathematician.\n1978 Naimark, mathematician.\n1947 Alfred North Whitehead, English mathematician and philosopher born on 15 February 1861.

The Iron Guard was founded by Corneliu Codreanu during the 1920s, and during the 1930s, imitated Germany's Nazi Party in both ideology and methods. After Duca's assassination, the Iron Guard was outlawed in Romania, however, its members carried on as the \"All for the Fatherland\" political party. In 1938, King Carol II managed to establish a stronger dictatorship in Romania, and took steps to suppress the activities of the Iron Guard, as well as its leftist antithesis, the Romanian Communist Party. However, after the Munich Pact of 1938 was signed--considered an abandonment of Romania by its Western allies from World War I--followed by the Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939, which ceded portions of Romania to the USS.R., the country fell into violent turmoil. In 1940, General Ion Antonescu seized power in Romania and forced King Carol II to abdicate, and on November 27, Astonescu's Iron Guard massacred over sixty aides of the exiled king, including Nicolae Iorga, a former minister and acclaimed historian. General Ion Antonescu emerged from the chaos victorious and established a dictatorship with Hitler's approval, killing, exiling, or imprisoning most of his former political opposition. However, Romanian resistance against the Iron Guard and Nazi occupation persisted during the war, and in August of 1944, a massive revolt toppled Antonescu's government in the Romanian capital of Bucharest, allowing the Soviet liberators to capture the city without firing a shot.\n1932 Eliakim Moore, mathematician.\n1917 Federigo Zandomeneghi, Italian artist born on 02 June 1841. \u0097 MORE ON ZANDOMENEGHI AT ART \u00934\u0094 DECEMBER with links to images.\n1916 (17 December Julian) Grigory Yefimovich Novykh \"Rasputin\" , 44, poisoned, shot, and finally drowned.\nHe was a debauched (meaning of \"rasputin\") illiterate Siberian peasant and mystic whose ability to improve the condition of hemophiliac tsarevich Aleksey Nikolayevich made him an influential favorite at the court of tsar Nicholas II and tsarina Alexandra, starting in 1908.. He was having such a harmful effect on the government, run by the tsarina in the absence of the tsar at the front, that a group of extreme conservatives, including Prince Feliks Yusupov (husband of the tsar's niece), Vladimir Mitrofanovich Purishkevich (a member of the Duma), and Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich (the tsar's cousin), formed a conspiracy to eliminate Rasputin and save the monarchy from further scandal. On the night of December 29-30 (December 16-17 Julian), Rasputin was invited to visit Yusupov's home and, once there, was given poisoned wine and tea cakes. When he did not die, the frantic Yusupov shot him. Rasputin collapsed but was able to run out into the courtyard, where Purishkevich shot him again. The conspirators then bound him and threw him through a hole in the ice into the Neva River, where he finally died by drowning. The murder merely strengthened Alexandra's resolve to uphold the principle of autocracy, but a few weeks later the whole imperial regime was swept away by revolution.\nRasputin dictated this prophecy the day before he died. He predicted that if Nicholas' relatives were responsible for his death, then the Tsar and his children would all die \"within two years. \u0093 Prince Yussoupov, a Romanov relative, murdered Rasputin; a year and a half later Bolsheviks killed the Tsar's family.\nThe Spirit of Grigory Yefimovich Rasputin\nGrigori Rasputin, a Russian holy man and favorite of Czar Nicholas II and Czarina Alexandra Feodorovna, is murdered at Yusupovsky Palace by a group of nobles critical of his influence in the Russian court. Born in Siberia as a peasant, Rasputin was an important member of the Flagellants religious sect. After coming to St. Petersburg, Rasputin was introduced into the royal household of Czar Nicholas II, and soon gained immense favor with the czarina because of his ability to control through hypnosis the bleeding of the hemophiliac heir to the throne, Tsarevich Alexey. Rasputin also became a notorious courtier, famous for his lechery and drunkenness.\nBy 1911, his political influence over the czar and his wife was great, and his unscrupulous appointees began to fill high posts in the Russian government. In 1915, Czar Nicholas traveled to the front of World War I to take command of the Russian army, and Czarina Alexandra and thus Rasputin were left in control of the government. Amid suspicions that Rasputin and the czarina were plotting to make peace with Germany, a group of nobles led by Prince Felix Yusupov plotted Rasputin's death.\nOn December 30, 1916, the nobles lure him to the Yusupovsky Palace, and Rasputin was murdered. The legendary details of Rasputin's death are that after being unaffected by poisoned food and wine he was shot at close range and collapsed on the floor, apparently dead. Minutes later, he regained consciousness, beat one of his assailants, and attempted to escape from the palace grounds, where he was shot again and beaten. Rasputin was reportedly still living at this point, so he was bound and tossed into a freezing river. When his body was later found it was finally without life, although the binds were broken, indicating that Rasputin may have attempted one last escape before drowning. In the next year, the czarist government was overthrown in the Russian Revolution, and in 1918, Czar Nicholas, his family, a few faithful servants, and the tsarevich's dog were shot to death at Yekaterinburg Palace by Lenin's Bolshevik revolutionaries.\nRasputin represented himself as spiritually devout but was pereceived by others as dangerously evil (his nickname means \"debauched\") and for his story we go to Russia in the time just before the 1917 Revolution. The Romanov dynasty in Russia in the early years of this century was threatened by internal and external pressures. On the eve of its collapse, every possible tool was used to sap the confidence of the country in their ruler and his family. One was the fact that the Tsaritsa Alexandra was a German, so the story was spread that she was a spy for Germany. But the most damaging stories, used on broadsides, in newspapers and spread by word of mouth was the royal family's confidence in Rasputin.\nWhen he was 18, Rasputin had a vision of the Virgin of Kazan and became convinced that he was chosen for some special purpose. He became one of thousands of \"wanderers\" who roamed Russia travelling from shrine to shrine. He was a peasant raised in a village where memories of the pagan past survived. He soon accepted the belief of a strange sect which taught that communion with God comes only after committing sin. He spent his life on a pendulum swinging from days of orgy to days of abject penance.\nWhen he arrived in St. Petersburg, he was on his best behavior, and was received as a \"holy wanderer. \u0093 He soon became known to the best society, which enjoyed oddities. He was brought to the Tsaritsa when her son, was in agony from his hemophila--pain and swelling brought on by the least blow or fall. The peasant's hypnotic ability, controlled the sufferer's pain and gained the gratitude and loyalty of the Tsaritsa. When stories were told of his misdeeds she refused to believe them. The Tsar did believe them, however, and banished Rasputin for a time.\nFearing the evil tongues the tsar's enemies, and wishing to be rid of Rasputin, a few men decided to murder him. He was brought to the palace of Prince Yusupov in St. Petersburg, where he was poisoned. The poison had little effect, so both the Prince and another assassin shot him. His body was dumped into the Neva River and was not found until 02 January. An autopsy indicated that he was still alive when he was put in the water. The Romanov dynasty came to an end in 1917 when Tsar Nicholas II abdicated in favor of his brother, Grand Duke Michael.\n1915 Hugo Wilhelm Kauffmann, German artist born on 07 August 1844.\n1905 Frank Steunenberg, Idaho governor, by an assassin's bomb.\nTargeted for his role in the abusive represssion of a miners' strike in 1899, former Idaho governor Frank Steunenberg is wounded by a powerful bomb that is triggered when he opens the gate to his home in Caldwell, Idaho. He dies shortly afterwards in his own bed.\nA former newspaper editor, Steunenberg entered Idaho politics in 1890, when he was elected to the House of Representatives. In 1896, he won the Idaho Governor's seat as the head of a coalition of Democrats, Populists, and Republicans who supported the use of silver to back currency. Generally perceived as a friend to labor and the \"little man,\" Steunenberg won a second term as governor in 1896. During this term, he was confronted with one of the most divisive and violent western battles between labor and management of the 19th century.\nMiners in the rich silver districts near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, had been struggling to unionize and gain better pay and working conditions since 1892. Radicalized by their initial defeats, an increasing numbers of miners began supporting the violence-prone Western Federation of Miners (WFM), which advocated aggressive tactics and worker control of industry. Alarmed by the growing influence of the WFM, Coeur d'Alene mine owners attempted to bust the union in 1899, and the WFM responded by blowing up one mining company's huge and costly concentrators with dynamite.\nDisturbed by the miners' violent tactics, the hitherto pro-labor Steunenberg heeded the demands of the powerful mine owners and turned against the WFM, requesting that the federal government send in troops. The soldiers placed the region under martial law and herded hundreds of miners into makeshift prisons, ignoring their constitutional rights to know the charges and evidence against them.\nSteunenberg's actions restored order in the Idaho silver mines, but also earned him the lasting enmity of many radical WFM members. Six years later, the radicals took their revenge by sending a professional assassin named Harry Orchard to Caldwell. The professional hitman was responsible for planting the bomb that killed the former governor. Orchard was captured, tried, and sentenced to life in prison, and his guilt has never been seriously disputed. However, many were convinced that the plot to kill Steunenberg was supported not just by a radical minority within the WFM, but also by its top leadership. WFM secretary-treasurer William \"Big Bill\" Haywood was brought up on charges of criminal conspiracy but was found not guilty largely as a result of famous Chicago lawyer Clarence Darrow's brilliant defense. Haywood went on to found the even more radical Industrial Workers of the World.\n1903: 602 in fire at Iroquois Theater in Chicago.\n1896 Jose Mercado Rizal, anti-Spanish rule of Philippines proponent.\n1894 Amelia Jenks Bloomer suffragist dies (Bloomers named for her).\n1885 Martha Darley (or Durley) Mutrie, British artist born on 26 August 1824.\n1870 El general Juan Prim y Prats, presidente del Gobierno espa\u00f1ol, a causa de las heridas de bala recibidas al sufrir un atentado en Madrid tres d\u00edas antes.\n1862 USS. Monitor sinks in storm with 16 of its sailors.\nThe USS. Monitor sinks in a storm off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Just nine months earlier, the ship had been part of a revolution in naval warfare when the ironclad dueled to a standstill with the C.S.S. Virginia (Merrimack) off Hampton Roads, Virginia, in one of the most famous naval battles in history--the first time two ironclads faced each other in a naval engagement.\nAfter the famous duel, the Monitor provided gun support on the James River for George B. McClellan's Peninsular Campaign. By December 1862, it was clear the Monitor was no longer needed in Virginia, so she was sent to Beaufort, North Carolina, to join a fleet being assembled for an attack on Charleston. The Monitor served well in the sheltered waters of Chesapeake Bay, but the heavy, low-slung ship was a poor craft for the open sea. The USS. Rhode Island towed the ironclad around the rough waters of Cape Hatteras. Since December is a treacherous time for any ship off North Carolina, the decision to move the Monitor seems highly questionable. As the Monitor pitched and swayed in the rough seas, the caulking around the gun turret loosened and water began to leak into the hull. More leaks developed as the journey continued. High seas tossed the craft, causing the ship's flat armor bottom to slap the water. Each roll opened more seams, and by nightfall on 30 December, the Monitor was in dire straits.\nAt 20:00, the Monitor's commander, J.P. Bankhead, signaled the Rhode Island that he wished to abandon ship. The wooden side-wheeler pulled as close as safety allowed to the stricken ironclad, and two lifeboats were lowered to retrieve the crew. Many of the sailors were rescued, but some men were terrified to venture onto the deck in such rough seas. The ironclad's pumps stopped working and the ship sank before 16 crew members could be rescued.\nAlthough the Monitor's service was brief, it signaled a new era in naval combat. The Virginia's arrival off Hampton Road terrified the US Navy, but the Monitor leveled the playing field. Both sides had ironclads, and the advantage would go to the side that could build more of them. Northern industry would win that battle for the Union.\n1839 William Hilton the Younger, English painter born on 03 June 1786. \u2014 more with links to images.\n1788 Francesco Zuccarelli, Florentine landscape painter born on 15 August 1702. \u0097 MORE ON ZUCCARELLI AT ART \u00934\u0094 DECEMBER with links to images.\n1691 Robert Boyle, Anglo-Irish mathematician, chemist, and natural philosopher, born on 25 January 1627.

Also known as the Soviet Union, the new republic was the successor to the Russian Empire and the first state in the world to claim to be based on Marxist Socialism.\nDuring the Russian Revolution of 1917 and subsequent three-year Russian Civil War, the Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin dominated the Soviet forces, a coalition of workers' and soldiers' committees calling for the establishment of a socialist state in the former Russian Empire. In the USS.R., all levels of government were controlled by the Communist Party, and the Party's politburo, with its increasingly powerful general secretary, effectively ruled the country. Soviet industry was owned and managed by the state, and agricultural land was divided into state-run collective farms.\nIn the decades after its establishment, the Russian-dominated Soviet Union grew into one of the world's most powerful and influential states, and eventually encompassed fifteen republics--Russia, the Ukraine, Georgia, Byelorussia, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzsatn, Moldova, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. In 1991, the Soviet Union was dissolved following the collapse of its communist government.\n\u0097 L'Union des R\u00e9publiques Socialistes Sovi\u00e8tiques se forme par l'union de la R.S.S.

Having already earned a reputation for sternness and discipline, Tojo was given command of the 1st Infantry Regiment upon return to Japan. In 1937, he was made chief of staff of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, China. Returning again to his homeland, Tojo assumed the office of vice-minister of war and quickly took the lead in the military's increasing control of Japanese foreign policy, advocating the signing of the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy in 1940 that made Japan an \"Axis\" power. In July of 1940, he was made minister of war and soon clashed with the Prime Minister, Prince Fumimaro Konoye, who had been fighting to reform his government by demilitarizing its politics. In October, Konoye resigned because of increasing tension with Tojo, who succeeded as prime minister while holding on to his offices of army minister and war minister, and assuming the offices of minister of commerce and of industry as well.\nTojo, now a virtual dictator, quickly promised a \"New Order in Asia,\" and toward this end supported the bombing of Pearl Harbor despite the misgivings of several of his generals. Tojo's aggressive policies paid big dividends early on, with major territorial gains in Indochina and the South Pacific. But despite Tojo's increasing control over his own country, even assuming the position of the chief of the general staff, he could not control the determination of the United States, which began beating back the Japanese in the South Pacific. When Saipan fell to the US Marines and Army, Tojo's government collapsed. Upon Japan's surrender, Tojo tried to commit suicide by shooting himself with an American .38 pistol but was saved by an American physician who gave him a transfusion of American blood. He lived only to be convicted of war crimes by an international tribunal--and was hanged on 22 December 1948.\n1880 Republic of the Transvaal established\nIn British South Africa, the Transvaal province is declared an independent Boer republic, setting off an armed conflict with Britain that serves as a precursor for the South African Boer War two decades later. Boers, also known as Afrikaners, were the descendants of the original Dutch settlers of southern Africa. At the end of the Napoleonic wars, Britain took possession of the Dutch Cape colony, sparking resistance from the independence-minded Boers, who resented the Anglicization of South Africa and Britain's anti-slavery policies. In 1833, the Boers began an exodus into African tribal territory, where they founded the republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.\nThe two new republics lived peaceably with their British neighbors until 1867, when the discovery of diamonds and gold in the region made conflict between the Boer states and Britain inevitable. Following declarations of independence from the Boer states during the 1880s, minor fighting with Britain ensued before the outbreak of full-scale war in 1899. In 1902, after three years of fighting, Britain is victorious in the South African Boer War, and in 1910, the Union of South Africa is created within the British Empire, comprising the two Boer republics and the old Cape and Natal colonies.\n1880 Alfred Einstein, German-born US musicologist and critic who died on 13 February 1952.

He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907.\nKipling's father, John Lockwood Kipling, was curator of the Lahore museum, and is described as such in the first chapter of Kim, Rudyard's most famous novel. Much of his childhood was unhappy. Kipling was taken to England by his parents at the age of six and was left for five years at a foster home at Southsea, the horrors of which he described in the story Baa Baa, Black Sheep (1888). He then went on to an inferior boarding school. It haunted Kipling for the rest of his life\u0097but always as the glorious place celebrated in Stalky & Co. (1899) and related stories: an unruly paradise in which the highest goals of English education are met amid a tumult of teasing, bullying, and beating. The Stalky saga is one of Kipling's great imaginative achievements.\nRudyard Kipling returned to India in 1882 and worked for seven years as a journalist.. He was quickly filling the journals he worked for with prose sketches and light verse. He published the verse collection Departmental Ditties in 1886, the short-story collection Plain Tales from the Hills in 1888, and between 1887 and 1889 he brought out six paper-covered volumes of short stories. Among the latter were Soldiers Three, The Phantom 'Rickshaw and Other Ghost Stories (containing the story The Man Who Would Be King), and Wee Willie Winkie (containing Baa, Baa, Black Sheep).\nWhen Kipling returned to England in 1889, his reputation had preceded him. His fame was redoubled upon the publication in 1892 of the verse collection Barrack-Room Ballads, which contained such popular poems as Mandalay, Gunga Din, and Danny Deever. In 1892 Kipling married Caroline Balestier, the sister of Wolcott Balestier, an American publisher and writer with whom he had collaborated in The Naulahka (1892), a facile and unsuccessful romance. That year the young couple moved to the United States. The Kiplings returned to England in 1896.\nBesides numerous short-story collections and poetry collections such as The Seven Seas (1896), Kipling published his best-known novels in the 1890s and immediately thereafter. His novel The Light That Failed (1890) is the story of a painter going blind and spurned by the woman he loves. Captains Courageous (1897), in spite of its sense of adventure, is often considered a poor novel because of the excessive descriptive writing. Kim (1901), although essentially a children's book, must be considered a classic. The The Jungle Book (1894) and The Second Jungle Book (1895) is a stylistically superb collection of stories linked by poems for children.\nIn 1902 Kipling bought a house at Burwash, Sussex, which remained his home until his death. Sussex was the background of much of his later writing\u0097especially in Puck of Pook's Hill (1906) and Rewards and Fairies (1910), two volumes that, although devoted to simple dramatic presentations of English history, embodied some of his deepest intuitions.\nIn 1907 Kipling received the Nobel Prize for Literature, the first Englishman to be so honored. In South Africa, where he spent much time, he was given a house by Cecil Rhodes, the diamond magnate and South African statesman. This association fostered Kipling's imperialist persuasions, which were to grow stronger with the years.\nIn the whole sweep of his adult storytelling, Kipling displays a steadily developing art, from the early volumes of short stories set in India through the collections Life's Handicap (1891), Many Inventions (1893), The Day's Work (1898), Traffics and Discoveries (1904), Actions and Reactions (1909), Debits and Credits (1926), and Limits and Renewals (1932). While his later stories cannot exactly be called better than the earlier ones, they are as good\u0097and they bring a subtler if less dazzling technical proficiency to the exploration of deeper though sometimes more perplexing themes. It is a far cry from the broadly effective eruption of the supernatural in The Phantom Rickshaw (1888) to its subtle exploitation in The Wish House or A Madonna of the Trenches (1924), or from the innocent chauvinism of the bravura The Man Who Was (1890) to the depth of implication beneath the seemingly insensate xenophobia of Mary Postgate (1915).\nKipling wrote much and successfully for children; for the very young in Just So Stories (1902), and for others in The Jungle Book and in Puck of Pook's Hill and Rewards and Fairies. Of his miscellaneous works, the more notable are a number of early travel sketches collected in two volumes in From Sea to Sea (1899) and the unfinished Something of Myself, posthumously published in 1941, a reticent essay in autobiography. Kipling died in London, on 18 January 1936.\nKIPLING WORKS NOT MENTIONED ABOVE NOR BELOW:\n1881 Schoolboy Lyrics. 1887 Soldier Tales, Indian Tales, and Tales of the Opposite Sex. 1888 The Story of the Gadsbys, In Black and White. 1890 The Courting of Dinah Shadd and Other Stories, and The City of Dreadful Night. 1891 Letters of Marque 1892 Rhymed Chapter Headings 1896 Soldier Tales. 1898 An Almanac of Twelve Sports, and A Fleet in Being. 1900 The Kipling Reader. 1901 War's Brighter Side. 1903 The Five Nations. 1907 Collected Verse. 1911 A History of England. 1912 Songs from Books. 1915 The New Army in Training and France in War. 1916 Sea Warfare. 1917 A Diversity of Creatures. 1919 The Graves of the Fallen and The Years Between. 1920 Horace Odes, Book V and Letters of Travel. 1923 The Irish Guards in the Great War and Land and Sea. 1924 Songs for Youth. 1926 Sea and Sussex. 1927 Songs of the Sea. 1928 A Book of Words. 1929 Poems 1886-1929. 1930 Thy Servant A Dog. 1934 Collected Dog Stories.\nKIPLING ONLINE:\nVerses, 1889-1896\nWith the Night Mail: A Story of 2000 A.D.\nThe Works of Rudyard Kipling\n1851 Asa Griggs Candler, US, developed Coca-Cola, died on 12 March 1913.

However, he is most famous for his 26 June 1893 pardon of the German-American anarchists involved in the Haymarket Riot, an 1886 labor protest for the eight-hour day. The protest escalated into a violent confrontation in which seven policemen were killed. Altgeld, petitioned by Clarence Darrow, labor leaders, and others, argued that the trial had been unfair because the judge was prejudiced and the jury stacked.\nA year later, Altgeld refused to use federal troops to suppress the Pullman Strike when the American Railway Union protested a reduction in salary without an accompanying reduction in the cost of company-owned housing and other expenses. Ultimately, President Grover Cleveland ordered 2500 federal troops to Chicago to suppress the strike, exercising his authority to protect mail and interstate commerce. Altgeld's progressive era legislation and commitment to the laboring classes made him a hero to activists, workers, and farmers, and an enemy of big business.\n1788 Edouard Henri Th\u00e9ophile Pingret, French artist who died in 1875.\n1746 Fran\u00e7ois Andr\u00e9 Vincent, French Neoclassical painter, specialized in historical subjects, who died on 03 August 1816. \u0097 MORE ON VINCENT AT ART \u00934\u0094 DECEMBER with links to images.\n1677 Felice Rubbiani, Italian artist who died on 18 October 1752.\n0039 Titus Flavius Vespasianus, would become Titus Vespasianus Augustus, 10th Roman emperor (79-81), conqueror of Jerusalem in 70.

        "raw_content": "Hometown: Frederick, Maryland\tCurrent Label: Weathermaker Music\tWebsites: Official Website\nBand Members: Neil Fallon - Vocals/Guitar\nJean-Paul Gaster - Drums\nClutch Bio:\nClutch combined elements of funk, Led Zeppelin, and metal with vocals inspired by Faith No More. Formed in 1991 in Germantown, MD, the group included Neil Fallon (vocals), Tim Sult (guitar), Dan Maines (bass), and Jean-Paul Gaster (drums). They built a local following through constant gigging, and after just one 7\" single (the classic Earache release \"Passive Restraints\") Clutch was signed by EastWest Records. Their debut LP, Transnational Speedway League, followed in 1993. A self-titled album appeared two years later and afforded Clutch some mainstream exposure. They jumped to the larger Columbia label for 1998's Elephant Riders, and many thought the group might join their sonic cousins Korn and Deftones in the alternative metal winner's circle. That didn't quite happen. But it didn't matter, because a quality fan base continued to thrive for Clutch. Pure Rock Fury appeared in 2001, and the similarly uncompromising Blast Tyrant came three years later as their first for DRT Records. Their seventh full-length, Robot Hive/Exodus, followed in 2005 and featured the first lineup change since the early '90s, the addition of organist Mick Schauer. Among Clutch's numerous side releases were a groove-based album (2000's Jam Room), as well as Live at the Googolplex and the rarities record Slow Hole to China, both issued in 2003. Also issued in 2005, Pitchfork & Lost Needles combined Clutch's 1991 Pitchfork 7\" with unreleased demos and early tracks. In the fall of 2006, the band hit the studio with producer Joe Barresi (Kyuss, Melvins) to record their next album; the resulting From Beale Street to Oblivion appeared in March 2007. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide\nMore On: Hard Rock, Clutch, Weathermaker Music\nClutch and Hellyeah announce North American co-headlining tour dates \u2013 Metal Riot2/22/2012 8:30 AM | Permalink\n[\u2026] More On Clutch [\u2026]\nClutch kicks off their summer tour with Prong and Lionize \u2013 Metal Riot7/11/2012 9:09 AM | Permalink\nMR Exclusive Interview: Clutch \u2013 Guitarist Tim Sult talks next LP, Redskins, Walking Dead. \u2013 Metal Riot8/31/2012 11:58 AM | Permalink\nNew Music: Title Track off Clutch\u2019s upcoming album \u201cEarth Rocker\u201d \u2013 Metal Riot1/9/2013 12:07 PM | Permalink\nAlbum Review: Clutch Earth Rocker Metal Riot - musicBlogs3/12/2013 7:21 AM | Permalink\n[\u2026] BLAST TYRANT paid off big time.

        "raw_content": "The Burnham Athenaeum:\nA Living Library of Legal Knowledge.\nMeyer Capel is headquartered in the historic Burnham Athenaeum. Once threatened with demolition and ravaged by fire, the classic, revival-style building has been painstakingly restored and today it is listed on both the National and Illinois Registers of Historic Places.\nThe Burnham Athenaeum was completed in 1896 and was home to the Champaign Public Library for more than 80 years. After the library moved to larger quarters in 1978, the building was converted for use by Meyer Capel, which has called the structure home since 1980.\nRestoration work had barely begun when the building fell victim to arson in October 1979. Fire destroyed part of the building\u2019s roof and interior. Fortunately most of its wood paneled ceilings, decorative wood molding, columns, and fireplaces were preserved.\nDespite the fire, Meyer Capel's shareholders continued on \u2013 renovating the portions of the building destroyed by fire and restoring the remainder. Those efforts have preserved the beauty and character of the original structure, while creating an efficient, modern work space.\nThroughout the restoration process, work was carried out following stringent State of Illinois and U.S. Department of Interior requirements to qualify for rehabilitation grants. Despite the increased expense and occasional frustration for owners and architects alike, the careful renovation was not without reward.\nMeyer Capel has preserved a beautiful, historic landmark which the law firm is proud to occupy. The Burnham Athenaeum speaks volumes to the firm\u2019s ongoing commitment to Champaign County and the firm\u2019s clients.",

        "raw_content": "Dr. Sketchy\u2019s in Berlin + Monday Pin-Up musings\nHello all. LaLaVox here. This past Monday, August 18th, 2008, Molly Crabapple and her Dr. Sketchy\u2019s Anti-Art School came to Berlin. I almost didn\u2019t manage it, but I did make it after all, and I\u2019m very glad that I did. It was a delightful evening!\nAnd what is Dr. Sketchy\u2019s, you might ask? It\u2019s Burlesque Meets Art Class - Cabaret Life Drawing. It\u2019s music and drinks and burlesque dancers, circus freaks, and other birds of paradise. It was great fun \u2013 even if I did feel terribly out of practice...\n...I only get around to doing any life drawing once in a blue moon these days it seems, and I\u2019m not the sort of person who takes a sketchbook with me everywhere I go (to draw in parks or caf\u00e9s, etc). I admire, and am a tad envious of, folks who do, but it\u2019s just not me. Sketchbooks I\u2019ve taken with me have almost always been left un-drawn-in. More often than not, I\u2019ve ended up writing diary entries in them instead. I guess when it comes to most public situations I simply prefer writing pictures to drawing them.\nSo I draw at home and for my illustration jobs. And these days I mostly tend to draw stuff more or less out of my head - with various photos as reference (I have a huge archive in the meantime. I\u2019m a mad and hungry picture junkie and regularly scour the internet for reference material and images that inspire me). So drawing from live models made me feel inept and slightly helpless. But it was really good to get my life-drawing chops going again.\nBerlin\u2019s Dr. Sketchy guests were Dr. Sketchy\u2019s creator herself, Molly Crabapple, and the extravagant likes of Hedoluxe, Joey Love, and Lethal Lily, among others. It was great meeting Molly. She\u2019s a doll. And I also met the lovely, lovely folks from Dr. Sketchy\u2019s Manchester there. There are Dr. Sketchys all over the place in the meantime, and I\u2019m hoping a Dr. Sketchy\u2019s Berlin can be set up as well. This one was a one-off, for starters. I took only my drawing supplies and myself, by the way - but once there I was sorry I had not also brought a camera. Lots of people did though, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing the first photos begin to appear online.\nBut now on to more directly www.mildredlovesyou.com-oriented things...\nI haven\u2019t actually made any big official Monday Pin-Ups announcements yet (Mildred\u2019s MySpace page has been left dreadfully neglected for the past several months). A few people have been told and do visit, but I\u2019ve been happy enough to sort of half-hide in our little corner of the internet so far. This is because I wanted to get into the swing of things before making a big deal out of it. And I\u2019ve been having growing pains. Many of the pin-ups have been delayed along the way, and I\u2019ve also simply not been satisfied with most of the results of my work so far. But I had promised myself I would start the series on Monday, June 16th, 2008, and I did - just jumped right into the deep end - even though I didn\u2019t really feel ready to yet.\nBut my three most recent pin-ups have taken a slightly new direction that I\u2019m much happier with, so a big official MySpace announcement shouldn\u2019t be too much longer in coming now. :)\nMonday Pin-Up #14 \u2013 \"Shock Pink\"\nfeaturing Copper Kitten and Kitty Derail\nMonday Pin-Up #15 \u2013 \"Three Graces\"\nfeaturing Mildred Mahler, Tamara Toffy, and Coco Delish\nMonday Pin-Up #16 \u2013 \"Rocking Horse Godivas\"\nfeaturing Ivory Towers and Th\u00e9r\u00e8se-Constance van Ticklinckx\nLabels: Dr. Sketchy, Hedoluxe, lalavox, the monday pin-up",

        "raw_content": "Attitude to the United States: 8 out of 10 Cats........\nThe press today reported that there is a dissatisfaction with the UKs relationship with the United States. 68% of those questioned thought the US presence in the middle east provoked conflict etc.\nChanging Futures was the 2nd in a trilogy of works submitted to UN and Government reports trying to dissuade the UK Government from invading Iraq. \"It will all end in tears\". Quite simply as your mother would have said.\nThe 3rd addressed the UK relationship with the US in the build up to war. The UNED-UK summarised them as it as \u2018questioning UK response to the USA not agreeing to Kyoto Protocol...... Relationship between north (UK and USA) and south (Ethiopia)........strength and capacity of the UK.\nThis is the final part of the trilogy dated 8th January 2003\nIs the UKs Relationship With America the Cause of Many of Our Society's Problems\nThe UK was the first country in the world to enter and lead the Industrial Era of global development.\nMuch of the science, technology, commercial, financial, political and institutional processes that took the world into the industrial age originated in the UK.\nAt this point in America Davy Crocket hadn't got round to fighting the Mexicans yet.\nMuch of the model and strategy that America used when it went and entered its industrialised phase of development came from what the UK had already developed and gone through.\nThe UK had already had a global empire or was in the process of building it up.\nLike children countries have to grow up and develop, it is the nature of change.\nThe UK has finished its secondary education and now needs to go to university.\nAmerica is a much younger country it is now leaving primary education and needs to start secondary school.\nFor some reason the UK wants to hang around with its much younger friend. There is no problem with a 19 year old being friendly and getting on with a 11 year old.\nThe trouble comes when the 19 year old starts spending all its time with the 11 year old doing the things it wants.\nIf the 11 year old is a bit of a bully and starts stealing sweets from the other kids in its class and one of them turns round and gives it a slap. A 19 doesn't go into the playground and join in with its friend.\nFar better if its worried about 11 year olds to carry on with its education and become a teacher and lead by example.\n19 year olds hanging round with 11 year olds stagnate, they stop getting on with their own life. They need to do things a 20 or a 21 year old does, become an adult.\nAmerica goes on and on about its economy, well let it. Does Bush ever express his concerns for the environment local or global. Britain has been through that.\nBritain needs to continue its development for itself. But in doing that by virtue of its leading edge position in global development it must also be the world leader in post-industrial, third phase, ecological sustainable development. The next step after the industrial era.\nBritish society is bored and listless, because Britain is playing in last centuries back yard with an 11 year old. Waiting for the 11 year old to grow up.\nBritain is stagnating and falling apart beacause it has forgotten that it is the leader and where it goes eventually America will follow.\nBritain has lost leadership in itself. It has forgotten to be innovative, creative and bold in its journey into the frontier of the future.\nThe world does then not have a leader, it too stagnates and falls apart in quarrels and bickering. Instead of Britain saying \"well we are moving on\", it holds itself back joining in.\nBritain wastes its time trying to tart up and patch yesterdays ideas.

        "raw_content": "The Flush Glaze Systems are a versatile product that can be used in a variety of situations from the single-storey office/factory complex to multi-storey, high-rise apartments/office towers. Originally designed in 1986, the system has been used extensively in all parts of New Zealand and overseas and updated regularly since.\nThe benefits of using the Flush Glaze Systems are in the variety of appearances you can achieve by using its many and varied glazing options. Flush Glaze is a Curtain Wall System designed specifically with flexibility in mind, allowing mullions and transoms to be concealed or exposed in any combination. This is achieved through either structural glazing to create a seamless or mullion/transom-less appearance or through beaded glazing. Both can be single-glazed with reflective glass or double-glazed up to 25mm.\nThe Flush Glaze Systems are available in two sizes. The 100mm range is ideal for low-rise buildings where spans and wind loads would not be a limiting factor. The 150mm range is capable of spanning greater distances between fixing points, and can be subjected to very high wind loads on high-rise buildings.",

The partnership between ICMEC and the BMP brings to SACMEC a wealth of experience and expertise in the field of investigations coupled with the application of state of the art technology. Cases will be dealt with according to the following operational guidelines:\nCases of missing children will be reported to SACMEC immediately either through the national call center, through the Internet or through reports filed with the SAPS.\nCases involving stranger abduction will be given the highest priority (cases of familial abduction generally hold fewer risks to the child\u2019s life).\nEach case will be assigned a dedicated case manager. Case managers will report to the Director, Operations and Investigations.\nThe case manager will liaise closely with relevant law enforcement agencies and will facilitate sharing of information and resources pertaining to the case. Case managers will have law enforcement background and a proven track record in investigation of cases of missing person\u2019s, they will therefore also have their own powers of investigation.\nSACMEC support staff, who will report to the Director, Administration, Distribution and development, will ensure the rapid dissemination, and distribution of information on cases of missing children to the general public through newspapers, national television, etc. and will also assist in the process of repatriation, rehabilitation and follow-up counseling.\nCases of cross-border abduction will be handled by SACMEC in cooperation with INTERPOL agencies in the respective countries.\nSACMEC support staff will disseminate information received at the National call center and see to it that all leads are followed up, either by case managers or law enforcement.\nIn general SACMEC will be set up to operate on the proven model of the NCMEC.\nSACMEC support staff will strive to establish pro-active and rehabilitation projects concerning missing and exploited children.\nSACMEC support staff will initiate research projects on exploitation with the help of another partner in this venture The MTN center for Crime Prevention studies situated at Rhodes University.",

Then, the dad shot himself. The little girl watched it all. She then was sent to a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and took the child to church. On the first day of Sunday School, the foster mother told the teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and to have patience with her.

        "title": "Homeschoolers Are Out of This World",
        "raw_content": "Homeschoolers Are Out of This World\nMolly Christensen\ton March 9, 2006\nPatricia from San Jose, California, writes:\nThe church teaches us to be \u201cin the world, but not of the world.\u201d How can anyone homeschool their children with this in mind? If all the good LDS people leave the public schools, the influence we have in the system will be lost!\nThe church has no official position on homeschooling. They have told us neither to homeschool nor to send our kids to public school. That decision is best left to the parent\u2019s judgment. (See I Have a Question, scroll down.) Cearly if our leaders felt that homeschooling was against the teaching of \u201cin the world, but not of the world,\u201d the church would take an official stance against homeschooling.\nIn the same article, the author quotes from a First Presidency statement given in September 1976 suggesting that \u201cchurch members could, and should, do much to improve public education in their communities.\u201d The statement urges member to do their civic duty to try to find solutions to problems in their communities. It asks members to be \u201canxiously engaged\u201d in a good cause.\nThen it goes on to say, \u201cParents may, if they choose, opt to educate their children in the home if they are really sure they can do it or in private schools. But each member can still do much to help make the public schools the best they can be.\u201d\nYour children don\u2019t have to be enrolled in school for you, as a parent, to influence the values of the public schools. Many homeschoolers are very politically active. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law homeschool their children, and regularly attend school board meetings. Ironically, they are often the only parents in attendance. My dad is always trying to fix things in the local school system, and his youngest is 27.\nAnd other than influencing the public school system merely for a sense of community, homeschoolers still have a vested interest in keeping the public school system the best it can be. Many, if not most, homeschoolers send their children to public schools at some point in their education.\nI do find it a concern that often we expect our children to go to public school so they can be shining examples to the other kids. The church does teach us that we have the responsibility to raise our children and teach them correct principles. It does not teach us that we need to send our children out in the world before they are ready. And even though we homeschool, our kids are not isolated; they are still very much in the world. Between church, scouts, achievement days, sports, chess club, theater, dance class, and just playing with the neighbors, they have numerous opportunities interact with other children and to be examples as well as friends.\nAlthough there are certainly many very good kids who set good examples, I think that more often than not it doesn\u2019t happen. Parents often don\u2019t know what is going on in school day in and day out. I remember when my parents asked me how my day was, I said, \u201cFine.\u201d I didn\u2019t say, \u201cWell, at lunchtime the kids were all teasing Bobby and I laughed, too. Then later my friends and I put each other down and I know Susie felt bad but I didn\u2019t say anything.\u201d Children are naturally very self-centered, and they follow the crowd. I know we\u2019d all like to think the best of our children, but often they may not be the great example you would hope for.\nThat said, I do believe there are certainly good kids in schools, setting good examples. Whether you homeschool or send the kids to public school, I do think it is the responsibility of the parents to really stay involved in their children\u2019s lives. Parents need to know what is going on and to teach their children the principles of the gospel so they can be good examples, but I don\u2019t believe it is the responsibility of the child to be in public school solely to set a good example.\nKeep up the good work you are doing as a parent!\nMolly Mormon\nTagged as: homeschool\nspande2 May 4, 2007, 4:56 pm\nI\u2019m not seeing any discussion here. Should I be?\nYes, you are. You posted in it. \ud83d\ude42\nSince I just converted to a blog, most of the old articles do NOT have discussions. As I transfer them from the old site, to the blog, a discussion is created. Now anyone reading the article can comment on it. You were first, have at it!\nChanJo May 11, 2007, 12:01 am\nI like the new site because I find all the good article easily. How many of you homeschool?\nalana May 11, 2007, 6:57 am\nLisa Jackson July 6, 2015, 4:59 pm\nI will post a link in my blog to this post. Then I will add my own thoughts. I was searching for this because someone was trying to tell me that what I was doing was against church teachings. This person told me about a conference twlk all about how we need to be in the public school system to be in the world. I thought that was crazy. I cannot find such a conference talk, so I think some people hear things they want to hear sometimes.\nYour gut was right, Lisa. Think about it. BYU is a private university. Does the church think Mormons should go to public universities? \ud83d\ude42\nAlison Moore Smith recently posted\u2026Transgenderism, Caitlyn Jenner, and How Feelings Rule\nNext post: Making General Conference Memorable\nPrevious post: Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire: The Difference Between Forgiveness and Trust",

If you haven't tried this yet, be aware that it can create a huge obsession.\nThese are a few of the pages of the album that I am currently working on. Many pages have journaling spots, pull-out tags, and areas for photos. It is all very detailed and time consuming and I am loving every minute of it.\nI have also been playing with ribbon. Yards and yards of the stuff. I am in the process of making 2 more lei for upcoming graduations. By the way, I've received inquiries about why I do not add an 's' when speaking about lei in plural. There is no 's' in the Hawaiian language. The Hawaiian alphabet consists of the following 12 letters: a, e, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, p, u, w. I do agree that it gets pretty weird when combining English and Hawaiian in one sentence, but it is never proper to include an 's' when speaking in plural. Just thought you'd like to know in case you were wondering the same thing too.\nI am so happy with the way my necklace turned out and have plans to make many more in different colors. It looks so delicate and pretty around the neck. It is a thinner version of my bracelet and I must say that I love it!\nI hope you are having a creative day. Thanks for droppin' by!\nThose are truly beautiful pieces of jewelry.\nHi Lettie, the mini books are just delicious I would love for you to do a tutorial on these, I am one of those people who have to see how it's done before I can do it myself and then the ideas will flow.\nYour lei are so beautiful, you must have a place to buy ribbon wholesale! (At least I hope you do!) Love the little albums too.\nLettie, your mini albums are beautiful!!! I tried to do this once, but I am just not that patient. Your jewelry is really neat too. Thanks for sharing.\nLOL I love the title of this post Lettie, I have been working hard painting my bedrooms, now I can't wait to tell my family and freinds that Ive been busier then a raccon in tall corn!\nI have not been one to work with paper much but after seeing these, I think I will dig out some old stashed away supplies and give it a try. YOU sure have a crafty mind and can come up with awesomes works of art.\nI love your mini album pages. They are absolutely beautiful.\nThe detials in your mini albums are so creative! These would make wonderful gifts. Very nice!\nWhat happened to your blog settings though? you are showing with just a small comment in the blog reader instead of the full posts like before...",

        "raw_content": "R. Lee Ermey: \"Less is better is the stupidest effing saying I've ever heard\"\nBy Ray Pride - Monday, October 31st, 2005\nEW reports in the November 4 issue on Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Origin and gets an earful from Full Metal Jacket\u2018s R. Lee Ermey, who\u2019s also given a nod up top of Jarhead.\nErmey, 61, talks acting: \u201cThe \u2018less is better\u2019 that all actors have heard is fucking wrong\u2026 That\u2019s the stupidest fucking saying I\u2019ve ever heard, \u2018less is better.\u2019 It\u2019s the insecure directors who say shit like that. I\u2019m the kind of actor who needs to be let go. I never heard that from Stanley Kubrick, \u2018less is better.\u2019 \u2026 I\u2019m not afraid to go the extra mile\u2026 If it doesn\u2019t work, I\u2019ll back it down. Just.\u201d There is a talking \u201cmotivational\u201d figure, available on Ermey\u2019s own web ranch (below), and nicely described here. Reportedly, there\u2019s much scaldification to sear the ears. \u201cMotivation and confidence is the key to success. Now drop down and give me 25 and wipe that shit-eating grin off your face. Ooorrrahh, semper fi, do or die, hold them high at eighth and I. Let me hear your war cry scumbag,\u201d are among the lovelies when you yank that chain. And along with the doll, there\u2019s acres of merch at Ermey\u2019s loud website.\nSaw II seen from down under\nAustralia\u2019s Age celebrates a local success that\u2019s overseas: \u201cSaw II, made by Melbourne masters of horror Leigh Whannell and James Wan, scared up the big bucks at the North American box office over the Halloween weekend\u2026\u201d\n\u201cWhile critics have called the fright flick grisly and nauseating even for the horror movie genre, it still hauled in more viewers than any other movie in the US last weekend\u2026. Whannell and Wan, both graduates of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology\u2019s media arts course, were struggling to make a living in Melbourne before US film company Evolution Entertainment agreed to shoot SAW in Los Angeles. Whannell, who wrote and starred in SAW, and Wan, who directed it, made the decision of their lives when Evolution offered them a deal.\u201d Of the original $1m production, The Age reports, \u201cInstead of taking an upfront payment, the 28-year-olds opted to take a cut of the profits of SAW, including merchandising\u2026 It made them millionaires.\u201d (Wan\u2019s an exec prod on the sequel; Whannel polished the director\u2019s original script, which was repurposed from something he had already written.)\nTsunami follies: a baker's dozen of Thai digital shorts\nBangkok Post\u2019s Kong Rithdee reports on a program of Tsunami Digital Short Films, \u201cshown in two programmes last week at the World Film Festival of Bangkok, glaringly lack is this ability to connect with the audience in any meaningful way. They feel detached, even removed from the real event.\n\u201cEach filmmaker \u2013 most of them young and upcoming, and not a single one from the tsunami-struck areas \u2013 had total freedom to do whatever they wanted in their under-20 minute piece. Each was welcome to make a personal movie from personal memories. But in light of such devastating tragedy, does that mean they can blithely bypass the collective memory of the rest of the nation? \u2026 For example, a short called After Shock plunges headlong into the ecstasy of post-December 26 sensation, ending with a scene of a man masturbating in a boat, his body caked with mud and blood and maybe something else. Thunska Pansittiworakul, who directed the part, is Thailand\u2019s most radical provocateur; but I doubt if his brand of raw, risk-taking, politically incorrect movies is a jarring note here. Likewise with Santi Taepanich\u2019s Tits and Bums, the most enjoyable slice in the cake. The movie, also outstanding because it\u2019s the only one that doesn\u2019t include a single shot of the sea, is a hilarious spoof of a karaoke video featuring a sexy model in a cleavage-friendly costume.\u201d In an effort to find drama through fictitious, even experimental means, some filmmakers in this ensemble, talented as they surely are, have forgotten that reality, naked as it is, is the endless source of true, touching and relevant stories. [More frivolity at the link.]\nJarhead's Mendes: visual imagery has become a trademark\nReuters\u2019 Bob Tourtellotte enjoys a moment with Sam Mendes, simplifying the stage veteran\u2019s approach to filmmaking: \u201cWhen troops finally advanced into Kuwait, they found charred bodies, smoke-filled skies and black oil raining down from sabotaged wells. \u201cWeird, surreal images all in this empty space,\u201d Mendes called them.\n\u201cVisual imagery has become a trademark of Mendes\u2019 films,\u201d Tourtellotte reveals. \u201cHis fans will remember the falling rose petals of [American Beauty] and the incessant rain in [The Road to Perdition]. Mendes captures the Marines\u2019 wartime isolation through a film bleaching process that makes colors seem bland and blurs images on the edge of the main action.\u201d [More of that sort of technical stuff at the link.]\nWinning and losing in Toledo: Twist of Faith strikes back\nToledo Blade columnist Russ Lemmon reports that about 700 people went to seeTwist of Faith at the a three-night, one-show-per-night stand at the University of Toledo after the documentary about alleged sexual abuses by a local priest wasn\u2019t booked by commercial venues. \u201cAt the Maumee Indoor Theater, Star Wars: Episode III \u2014 Revenge of the Sith attracted 687 for its 14-day run in August. The Star Wars film ranks No. 7 on the theater\u2019s list of top box-office draws this year. Raise your hand if you\u2019re still buying the \u201cbusiness decision\u201d reason for the theater rejecting a week-long screening of Twist of Faith.\u201d (The U of T grossed over $5,000 from the booking.)\nPestering, um, postering at the Jarhead premiere\nThe Reeler has another red carpet moment, calling out Sam Mendes\u2018 graphic acumen: \u201cWhat I\u2026 cannot figure out for the life of me is what is up with Jarhead\u2018s poster\u2026 Think what you want of American Beauty, but its poster is up there with Pulp Fiction as [one of] the most indelible posters of the 1990s. Now we have Jarhead, starring quintessential poster boys Foxx and Jake Gyllenhaal, with its Full Metal Jacket ripoff subbing a dogtag for a helmet and a colloquial tagline connoting \u201cwar\u201d with \u201csuck.\u201d\nMendes did not have anything to do with this, did he? \u201cActually, yeah, I did\u2026 What? You don\u2019t like it?\u201d Well, no. If it is between a naked woman in rose petals and a dogtag, the woman wins out 10 times out of 10. We have got to get back, you know\u2013 \u201cBack to the sex?\u201d OK, if you say so. \u201cAll right,\u201d he [said, shrugging]. \u201cWell, maybe for the next movie.\u201d\nGagiography: David Carr sounds Harvey's trumpets\nIn the NY Times, David Carr insures the Weinsteins will continue to break bread with him, carving hymns on the side of Mount Grey Lady: \u201cHarvey Weinstein is a singular force, a brawny, monomaniacal figure who has chewed his way through many industry conventions on his way to becoming the rogue king of the movie business. He is a complicated man: a rustic and an auteur, a ruffian and an aesthete. He has battled almost every partner he ever had. But now he confronts a truly majestic opponent: himself. To draw investors, he has agreed to a whole set of restrictions. The brothers will receive small salaries and no bonuses this time around. The company\u2019s investment in any individual movie is capped at $40 million. And with no $700 million annuity from Disney, the Weinsteins, who own 51% of the company, will squeeze every nickel twice before they spend it.\u201d\nWhere Harvey will get his gloss: L'Oreal p.r.'s\nAs Weinsteinco soldiers up, the Bros. also put on their pretty face, with a press release about their union with L\u2019Oreal Paris. \u201cThis first ever, long-term partnership between a motion picture company and a major cosmetic brand is being established to further the natural association between the worlds of film and beauty.\u201d Cue: Golden Globes and Oscar ceremonies.\nJunket duty is indicated as well: \u201cIn addition, L\u2019Oreal\u2019s expert makeup and hair teams will support all promotion of Weinstein Company films.\u201d Scream and skin cream again: \u201cAs part of the partnership, L\u2019Oreal will be the official exclusive beauty sponsor of all of The Weinstein Company and Dimension Films\u2019 US theatrical premieres over the next two years, beginning in January 2006.\u201d\nLittle Picturehouse on the Prairie: here comes Altman's Home Companion\nWho\u2019s old is new again: Robert Altman\u2019s A Prairie Home Companion goes Berney\u2019s way, with TimeWarner\u2019s Picturehouse acquiring all North American rights. PR\u2019s Berney, \u201cWith his signature style, Robert Altman has crafted a hilarious and endearing film\u2026 \u2018A Prairie Home Companion\u2019 is a masterfully-acted ensemble piece that captures the humor and heart of Garrison Keillor\u2019s radio show with great cinematic flair. Fans are in for a real treat when they see Meryl Streep and the cast belt out their favorite songs.\u201d (Oh-oh.)\nInspiring The Weather Man: Steve did not participate in that\nProducer Todd Black talks up his house screenwriter Steve Conrad to SF Chronicle\u2019s Hugh Hart, articulating the depths of The Weather Man, the first of three Conrad-Black movies out of the chute. \u201cSteve was with a bunch of friends and his brother in Fort Lauderdale and there was a local weatherman walking across the street\u2026 A couple of kids in the car said, \u2018Let\u2019s throw a drink at this guy and keep on driving.\u2019 They thought it was funny.\nSteve did not participate in that, but he found the image of a weatherman being hit with liquid very funny and always remembered that. Steve likes to think of pain and humor as being one and the same thing.\u201d\nTrafficking Syriana: Gaghan talks out of neo-con school\nSyriana writer-director Stephen Gaghan riffs with LA Times\u2019 Rachel Abramowtiz in her tick-tock about new political pics: \u201cDuring his research\u2026 Seymour M. Hersh introduced Gaghan to Richard Perle, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, who is considered one of the neocon architects of the war in Iraq. It was weeks before the American invasion, and the screenwriter had just returned from Damascus, where he heard [predictions of] what a quagmire the war would be. \u201cI\u2019m in Perle\u2019s kitchen. He\u2019s passing out favors in the Bush administration. He\u2019s dispensing wisdom and making me a cappuccino from this $3,000 cappuccino machine. He\u2019s really smart, really clever, and I\u2019m having a great time. I feel really lucky. I [say], \u2018Mr. Perle, I have just one question. Who\u2019s going to run Iraq?\u2019 He said, \u2018Oh, no, no, no, we\u2019re not going into that. Who says we\u2019re going into Iraq?\u2019 \u201cI said, \u2018Really, if we went in, who\u2019s going to run the country?\u2019 He said, \u2018It\u2019s a shame we haven\u2019t done a better job of supporting Ahmad Chalabi\u2026\u2019 I said, \u2018Listen, Chalabi hasn\u2019t been in Iraq since 1959\u2026. He lives in Paris. If he goes back there, they\u2019re going to reject him like a bad organ transplant\u2026. He looked at me like \u2018Who let you in here?\u2019 He stared daggers at me for about a minute.\u201d\u2026 The doorbell rang. \u201cHe said, \u2018Excellent. I\u2019ll introduce you to Bibi on the way out.\u2019\n\u201cIt was Benjamin Netanyahu, dropping by with 9 Uzi-wielding Mossad agents.\u201d As Perle ushered Gaghan out, Perle\u2019s wheaten terrier puppy, Reagan, [jumped] around and, as Gaghan describes it, \u201cpawing the crotch of Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu just stands there and shakes with rage. So I pulled the dog away from him and said, \u2018Now, now, Reagan, not on former heads of state,\u2019 and they just held the door open and let me out.\u201d\nQuel fromage: more from epicure Depardieu\n\u201cLike many men,\u201d he says with a grin, lighting up a cigarette, \u201cI\u2019m always a sex symbol in my own mind, but it\u2019s great to be told so now and then, especially when you eat too much and have big love handles like me,\u201d Gerard Depardieu concedes to Nigel Farndale of The Age. \u201cBut the love handles are a price he\u2019s happy to pay, for Depardieu is a gourmand. Not only does he love to eat \u2013 he\u2019s been known to consume four entire roast chickens at one sitting \u2013 but he is also a formidable cook who will produce a whole roast pig for a casual lunch\u2026\n\u201cSo seriously does Depardieu take winemaking that he describes himself as acteur-vigneron (actor-winemaker) on his passport. He owns more than a dozen vineyards around the world, from the Loire, Bordeaux and Languedoc to Sicily, Algeria, Morocco and Argentina, and helps with the harvest at [some]. \u201cI love being hands-on, getting on the tractor. When you make wine you need to know how everything works.\u201d It\u2019s a \u201cprofitable sideline for him; he produces 1m bottles a year from his vineyard in Anjou alone. Is it true he talks to his wine? \u201cI talk to my wine like I talk to my food when I am cooking. I am in communion with it. Totally absorbed.\u201d\nHe's so rude about Billy Wilder: a defense at 100\nBy Ray Pride - Saturday, October 29th, 2005\nNovelist Jonathan Coe has been a Billy Wilder obsessive for years, and opens a nimble consideration of critical contumely still directed toward the writer-director like this: \u201cRecently a friend came round to my house and was examining the bookshelves, as friends so often do. He came to the part where most of my books about cinema are loosely gathered together, and seemed to be staring at it for an inordinately long time. Something was obviously bothering him. \u201cWhere is it?\u201d he asked\u2026 \u201cDo you keep it somewhere else?\u201dI didn\u2019t even have to ask what he was talking about. David Thomson\u2018s \u2018Biographical Dictionary of Film\u2019 is, as everybody will tell you, indispensable. Far more than just a reference book, it is also [a]\u2026 passionate, opinionated work of literature. Everybody in this country who loves film seems to have a copy. Everybody except me, that is. And when my friend asked me why not, there was only one truthful answer I could give: \u201cBecause he\u2019s so rude about Billy Wilder.\u201d\nAll the king's minions: guessing at King's Men's one-year delay\nIn the Guardian, John Patterson guesses at why All the King\u2019s Men was delayed from Christmas 2005 to 2006. The scribe doesn\u2019t believe they ran out of editing time: \u201cConsider the political atmosphere the remake would have dropped into in mid-December: indictments gagging the White House and Congress, the super-rich soaking the poor, abject failure in New Orleans, inflation on the rise, a dejected electorate, Iraq, wall-to-wall corruption. The film might have been almost too perfect for its political moment, at least in the eyes of its backers, who, like all studios, have too much business pending at the Republican-controlled FCC to risk giving partisan offence. Better to delay it a year, when the mid-term elections will be behind us, than to earn the enmity of the nastiest pay-back outfit in modern American politics. It\u2019s only a theory, and possibly a paranoid fantasy, but in these bleak times I\u2019m ready to believe almost anything.\u201d [Note: as a foreign-owned concern, Sony cannot own broadcast properties.]\nKurt Vonnegut: the huge illiterate population can sure as hell watch a movie\nIn a Forbes special on communication, Kurt Vonnegut ventures about how to tell a story today: \u201cAll of the arts, with the exception of architecture, are practical jokes, making people respond emotionally and at no risk to themselves, because things aren\u2019t really happening\u2026 What I do, which is becoming more and more impractical I think, is make people respond to idiosyncratic arrangements of 26 phonetic symbols and ten Arabic numbers in horizontal lines on a page. And there was a time when this was a form of home entertainment, and so it was worthwhile for people to learn how to read. But reading it is actually quite difficult\u2026 But ink on paper is no way to tell a story anymore. Film and movies are the best way to tell a story today\u2026 Because of our terrible high schools, we have a huge illiterate population, but they can sure as hell watch a movie.\u201d",

        "title": "Israeli-Palestinian Struggle Returns to the Soccer Pitch - Mashreq Politics & Culture Journal",
        "raw_content": "FIFA, Football, Human Rights Watch, Israeli-Palestinian Struggle Returns to the Soccer Pitch, Palestine Football Association\n\u00a9 ibtimes.co.in\nHuman Rights Watch (HRW) has accused world soccer body FIFA of allowing FIFA-sanctioned matches to be played on occupied land in the West Bank in violation of FIFA rules and has demanded that the group ensure that future games be staged within the borders of Israel prior to the 1967 Middle East war.\nThe HRW allegations bring to the forefront longstanding similar assertions by the Palestine Football Association (PFA) that Israel is illegally allowing teams from Israeli settlements on occupied West Bank land to play in Israeli leagues. Palestinian efforts to get Israel sanctioned faded into the background after the Palestine Football Association (PFA) last year failed to muster sufficient votes to suspend the Israel Football Association\u2019s (IFA) FIFA membership.\nHRW released its report in advance of a FIFA meeting scheduled for October in which the group is expected to discuss barring Israeli soccer clubs from playing in the West Bank. The Israel Football Association has complained that Tokyo Sexwale, the head of a FIFA committee established to deal with Israeli-Palestinian soccer issues, would be presenting his report without giving the IFA an opportunity to review it.\nHRW\u2019s demand that Israeli West Bank teams play in Israel proper potentially muddles issues involving the legitimacy of the settlements and the occupation. By demanding that West Bank settlement teams play on pitches in pre-1967 Israeli territory, HRW effectively accepts Israeli settlement policy.\nThe demand further leaves Israeli military policy that restricts Palestinian access to Israeli settlements unchallenged. HRW may have been better served by demanding that Israeli settlement teams be barred from competition in Israeli leagues and be included in Palestinian ones. Such a demand would have clearly differentiated between Israel proper and the West Bank, put pressure on Israel\u2019s military to reverse discriminatory policies, and put the PFA on the spot in terms of including settlement teams.\nPFA President Jibril Rajoub unsuccessfully tried to persuade FIFA at its congress in Mexico in May to ban Israel from allowing teams from Israeli settlements to play in Israeli leagues. Mr. Jibril identified five settlement teams competing in Israel: Beitar Givat Ze\u2019ev, Beitar Ironi Ariel, Ironi Yehuda, Beitar Ironi Ma\u2019aleh Adumim and Hapoel Bik\u2019at Hayarden. Sixty-six members of the European parliament this month backed the PFA demand in an open letter to FIFA.\nThe PFA and IFA\u2019s position reflect the views of their respective governments. Palestine, supported by a majority in the international community views the West Bank as territory occupied by Israel for the past 49 years since it was conquered during the 1967 war. The IFA justifies participation of settlement teams in its leagues on the ground that the West Bank is disputed territory whose future has yet to be determined.\nThe HRW campaign against the Israeli settlement teams came as Palestine Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told the United Nations General Assembly earlier this month that he would put forward a Security Council resolution that would condemn the Israeli outposts. Without mentioning the United States by name, Mr. Abbas called on Washington not to veto the resolution.\nUS President Barak Obama reportedly raised with Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu on the side lines of the General Assembly \u201cprofound US concerns about the corrosive effect that that (settlements) is having on the prospects of two states.\u201d Settlements are expected to feature prominently in a framework for Israeli-Palestinian peace talks Mr. Obama may put forward before leaving office in January. Israel has increased the construction of settlements by 40 percent this year compared to last year.\nThe battle between Israel and Palestine in FIFA is a forerunner of likely similar confrontations in multiple international organizations as Palestine seeks to force Israel to halt its settlement activity before engaging in any new negotiations to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.\nFIFA was the first international organization to accept Palestine as a member without it being an internationally recognized state. Growing international unease, including in the United States, Israel\u2019s foremost ally, has however paved the way for Palestine to build on the FIFA example and apply to a host of UN organizations, including the International Criminal Court, as a member state.\nHRW Israel and Palestine Authority director Sari Bashi argued that FIFA in the wake of adopting a human rights policy earlier this year, was not applying to Israel its rules and past practices in similar situations such as Crimea, Nagorno Karabakh and the self-declared northern Cypriot state.\nEuropean soccer body UEFA in 2014 rejected the move of Crimean clubs from Ukrainian to Russian leagues following Russia\u2019s occupation of the territory. UEFA said Crimea would be considered a \u201cspecial zone for football purposes\u201d until the conflict has been resolved.\nSimilarly, FIFA has refused to recognize Northern Cyprus which unilaterally declared itself independent following a 1974 Turkish invasion or the predominantly Armenian enclave of Nagorno Karabakh that is part of Azerbaijan but occupied by Armenia. The denial of recognition meant that teams from the two territories are barred from FIFA competitions and not allowed to participate in leagues of the occupying nation.\nA report commissioned by FIFA and written by Harvard professor John Ruggie, the author of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP), which outline the human rights responsibilities of businesses, advised the soccer body to adhere to the principles.\nThe HRW report asserts on the basis of the fact that both Israel and Palestine are members of FIFA that \u201cby allowing the IFA to hold matches inside settlements, FIFA is engaging in business activity that supports Israeli settlements, contrary to the human rights commitments it recently affirmed.\u201d\nHRW said that \u201cdoing business in the settlements is inconsistent with these commitments.\u201d It said that \u201csettlement football clubs provide part-time employment and recreational services to settlers, making the settlements more sustainable, thus propping up a system that exists through serious human rights violations\u2026 The clubs provide services to Israelis but do not and cannot provide them to Palestinians, who are not allowed to enter settlements except as labourers bearing special permits. Because of this, football teams, for example, operating in the settlements, are available to Israelis only, and West Bank Palestinians may not participate, play on the teams or even attend games as spectators.\u201d\nThe report noted that in the case of sports club Givat Ze\u2019ev, \u201cthe IFA, and therefore FIFA as well, are holding matches on a playing field that was rendered off-limits to its Palestinian owners, two families from neighbouring Beitunia who were unable to access their land after Israel built the settlement in 1977 and prevented Palestinians from entering it. The Palestinian town of Beitunia has lost most of its agricultural land because of Israeli military orders barring access and physical barriers.\u201d\nThe issue of soccer teams from Israeli settlements on the West Bank has been gaining traction in recent months. A petition organized by advocacy group Avaaz and signed by 150,000 people demanded that Mr. Sexwale \u201cuphold FIFA\u2019s own rules and provide fair recommendations to evict Israeli settlement teams from FIFA. There should be zero tolerance for the six teams that flagrantly ignore international law and operate in occupied territory. Settlement football teams legitimise the illegal occupation and condones the suffering the Palestinians face as a result,\u201d the petition said.\nIn comments to HRW on the report, Shay Bernthal, chairman of the Ariel Football Club, a West Bank settlement team, insisted that the clubs were not discriminatory or racist. While HRW was referring to West Bank Palestinians in its assertions of discrimination, Mr. Bernthal noted that Palestinians with Israeli citizenship played for settlement teams much like they play for squads in Israel proper.\n\u201cYou did not mention that the collaboration between me and clubs from the sector [Arab citizens of Israel] is excellent. You did not mention the club\u2019s activities against racism and violence, and you did not mention what concrete action I took to try and promote peace: a game against a Palestinian club, having two Muslim players on my adult team and more,\u201d Mr. Bernthal said.\nIFA legal advisor Efraim Barak, responding to the report and contacts between the IFA and Ms. Bashi, employed the fiction upheld by all international and national sports associations that sports and politics are separate.\n\u201cWe make no distinction between any of the Israeli football teams that are active in the IFA and have players from different nationalities and backgrounds playing together in comradery and full cooperation, regardless of where the clubs are located. The same holds true for clubs located in places whose final status is to be determined,\u201d Mr. Barak wrote in what is an inherently political statement that aligns the IFA with Israeli government policy.",

        "raw_content": "The Mamas and the Papas---\nThey are one of my favorite groups from the 1960s era, and this site seeks to give some information about them. Most everybody knows their signature song \"California Dreamin\u2019\", but the total work of the Mamas and Papas is actually much broader and much, much more interesting than that song alone...\nStylistically, the overall sound of the Mamas and Papas is a folk pop that remains true to their folk origins, with a nod to standards and show tunes, and that showcases their playful approach to singing and their extremely imaginative harmonies. That does not mean that they do not have any variation in their songs, however. Indeed, their body of work includes everything from the sultry ballads that made Mama Cass so famous to the more psychedelic tunes of their final albums. They also covered quite a number of famous songs but changed them drastically to reflect their own style and approach to singing---thereby making them all their own.\nSocially, the group epitomized everything that we have come to associate with the late 1960s. Indeed, the Mamas and Papas lived out the entire California youth philosophy of the time---wild clothes, free love, recreational drugs, wanderlust, and an idealistic belief in their ability to overcome. Some of their songs speak to the social problems of the decade but most focus on the conflicting freedoms and insecurities of youth and music and relationships in their day.\nOn this site, I\u2019ve tried to compile a discography of their work as well as to tell a little bit about the members of the group before and after the surprisingly short Mamas and Papas phenomenon (they were only together from 1965-1968!).\nSince I started this site, I've come to discover that the Mamas and the Papas are not only one of my favorites, but are also the favorite of many people across the world. This site has grown a good deal since I started it, and I thank everyone for showing their interest and enthusiasm.\nPeople Like Us:\nJohn-Michelle-Denny-Cass\nIndividual bios and a history of the group.

        "raw_content": "a) Zurna family (kaba, orta, cura, zil)\nb) Mey family (ana/kaba mey, orta mey, cura mey)\nc) Sipsi\nd) \u00c7ifte\ne) Argun\na) Zurna Family\nThe zurna is made up of the following parts: The wooden body (g\u00f6vde), the reed (kamis), a round piece resembling a button, called the avurtlak, and the staple (metef or metem), to which the reed is attached. There is also a detachable section of the body called the baslik (headpiece) or neyik. These different parts vary according to region. Seven finger holes are opened in the top of the body, and one thumb hole in the back. The front holes are known as \"hava d\u00f6nd\u00fcren deligi\" (holes that turn the air); the thumb hole is known as the \"soluk deligi\" (breath hole) or \"d\u00f6s deligi\" (breast hole). The wide bell of the zurna\u2032s body is called the kalak in some areas. On the bell are small holes which are not fingered. These are called cin deligi or seytan deligi (demon holes; devil holes).\nIt is common instrument, played together with the davul (double-headed drum) in nearly every region of the country. Going from west to east, we see a decrease in the size of the zurna. The reed position also changes according to region; in the east, it is set vertically, while in the west it is placed horizontally.\nb) Mey Family\nThe mey is a widespread instrument in Eastern Anatolia. It consists of the main body, the reed, and the kiska\u00e7, or \"pincer,\" a piece that keeps the reed flat. It has seven holes on the top and one thumb hole in the back, and a range of an octave.\nThe sipsi is played in the Aegean region, and the Teke region in particular. The body is approximately 20 centimeters long. The cukcuk, the single reed consisting of a piece of cane with a flap opened in the side, fits into the body, and measures up to 5 cm in length. The sipsi has five or six holes; some players do not use a thumb hole. Its range is 1.5 octaves.\nIn our country, the \u00e7ifte (meaning \"double\") is played mainly in the area around Zonguldak on the Black Sea, as well as Central and Southeast Anatolia. It consists of two sections of reed tied side-by-side, with 5-6 holes on the top side. The holes may equal in number on each reed, or may occur singly on one side.\nPlayed in the Kilis and Hatay regions, it resembles the \u00e7ifte in construction. The most favored ones are made of eagle bone.\nSound Sample #1 Sipsi Ses \u00d6rnegi Zurna Ses \u00d6rnegi",

Abinadi is a prophet whose story is told in the Book of Mormon in the Book of Mosiah chapters. Intertwined with Abinadi\u2019s life is the introduction of the high priest, Alma, another prophet whose story unfolds within the same scriptural text.\nAbinadi is a new elder in his church, the least likely to receive a call from the Lord to preach repentance to His people. Yet the Lord\u2019s commandment is clear. Abinadi must warn the people in the city of Nephi of imminent destruction if they do not change their wicked ways. But King Noah, and those who surround him, will do anything to prevent their idolatrous ways to be disturbed. Abinadi is chased out of the city, a death sentence upon his head. Two years later, Abinadi is called again to deliver the Lord\u2019s final message. This time, Abinadi leaves behind a young wife and new child, only to finally meet his fate\u2014death by fire.\nThis book takes place in 155 B.C. in Mesoamerica--specifically the Guatemala Valley region. The research has been quite fascinating--predominately of the Maya people.\nSome things that made it into my book:\nIdol worshipping: ie. The Jaguar God, and the Moon Goddess (Ix Chel)\nAutosacrificing: human or animal bloodletting done in \"atonement\" for sins and requests for blessings from the gods.\nHerbal medicines: The Maya are well-known for their herbal remedies. They even practiced obstetrics and dentistry.\nAgave Wine: Think Tequila. Made from the blue agave plant.\nHarlots/Concubines: There is a difference between the two, of course, and the Book of Mormon text is full of references to these diabolical practices.\nYay! Woohoo! Congrats! I'm hoping I can say the same soon.\nCan't wait to read the whole thing.\nCongratulations! That's great.\nOh, I am so excited! Congratulations, Heather. I know this was harder for you to write...{being burned at the stake isn't a fun thing to write about} but I can't wait to read it!!!! You rock!\nI want to send ya a card...can you email me your addie?\nwarrenandautumn @ MSN dot com\nIt's weird to have it turned in, that's for sure. I caught up on all my newsletter stuff today. And I read a book! Skimmed through a lot, like usual, but it was fun.\nThat's awesome, congrats! And right before Christmas. What a gift for you!\nPoppaMonkey said...\nI'm so intrigued by the age of Abinadi. I'm anxious to narrate it! You're my favorite Author! :-)\nThanks David! I hope it lives up to it's name ;)",

        "raw_content": "Native Americans in the Media\nNative American actors, writers, and artists have long been a staple of American culture. These men and women have helped shape the way that American society has developed over the generations, and have provided millions with both entertainment and food for thought. There are a number of natives that have pushed through the boundaries of what was deemed possible through their status as a \"minority\", and have risen to points of true distinction in the media. Some of the Native Americans that have reached the greatest recognition include:\nIt seems like there hasn't been a big movie made about Native Americans since the 1970's that hasn't featured Wes Studi. A Cherokee actor, Mr. Studi has worked with such illustrious names as Daniel Day Lewis, Kevin Costner, and James Cameron in some of the biggest blockbuster movies of all time. He rose to fame with his portrayal of Magua in \"Last of the Mohicans\" and has most recently garnered praise for his role in James Cameron's Avatar. He played the chief of the Na'vi tribe in Avatar, which went on to be the single biggest box office success in movie history. He has parlayed his work into an opportunity to support a number of Native American causes, earning him true stripes as an activist for native issues.\nBest known for his work in martial arts movies and his television show \"Walker, Texas Ranger\", Chuck Norris is of Cherokee heritage. He came to prominence in the 1970's through his many film appearances, but his career didn't really take off until he appeared with Bruce Lee in \"Return of the Dragon\" in 1972. Throughout his life, he has become one of the most well-known martial artists in American history, and has often been cited as one of the most popular action-movie stars of all time. As an activist, he has been an instrumental figure in the Make-a-Wish foundation, as well as in numerous United Way fundraisers. He was given the title of \"Honorary United States Marine\" in 2007, and in 2010 he was made an \"Honorary Texas Ranger\".\nArguably the most famous and influential Native American of his time, John Trudell is a multifaceted fixture in Native American culture. As an activist, Trudell has been heavily involved with Native American political issues for his entire adult life. He rose to early prominence in 1969 when Native American activists took over Alcatraz Island. Using his background in broadcasting, Trudell became the spokesman for the occupiers and remained in that capacity for the two year occupation. He went on to become a famous poet and author of many pieces on Native American heritage and rights issues. He was also a noted actor in numerous films such as \"Smoke Signals\" and \"Thunderheart\". He spends his time speaking out about Native American issues, and works sometimes as a cultural adviser for films about Native Americans.\nOriginally of native Canadian ancestry, Adam beach is one of the most recognizable \"new\" faces of Native American celebrity. He is of the Salteaux people, and has appeared in many very famous Hollywood movies. Some of his most notable performances were in \"Windtalkers\", \"Walker, Texas Ranger\", \"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee\", and \"Flags of Our Fathers\". He also has a very long resume in television, appearing in \"Law and Order\" and \"Big Love\". He is noted as being careful about the roles he chooses to play, displaying a desire to only portray characters that are seen as good role models for native people.",

        "raw_content": "HMS Grafton was one of a dozen Blackwood-class frigate (also known as the Type 14 class) of second-rate anti-submarine frigates built for the Royal Navy in the 1950s.\nA member of the Nepean Blue Mountains Sub-Section who served on the Grafton\nThe Blackwood class displaced 1,180 long tons (1,200 t) at standard load and 1,456 long tons (1,479 t) at deep load. They had an overall length of 310 feet (94.5 m), a beam of 33 feet (10.1 m) and a draught of 15 feet (4.6 m). The ships were powered by one English Electric geared steam turbine that drove the single propeller shaft, using steam provided by two Babcock & Wilcox boilers. The turbine developed a total of 15,000 shaft horsepower (11,000 kW) and gave a maximum speed of 27 knots (50 km/h; 31 mph). The Blackwoods had a range of 4,500 nautical miles (8,300 km; 5,200 mi) at 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph). Their complement was 140 officers and ratings.\nThe ships were armed with three Bofors 40 mm guns in single mounts. The mount on the quarterdeck was later removed as it was unusable in heavy seas. They were equipped with two triple-barrelled Limbo Mark 10 anti-submarine mortars. The Blackwood-class ships had the same sonar suite as the larger Whitby-class frigates where the Limbo mortars were controlled by three sonars, the Type 174 search set, Type 162 target-classification set and the Type 170 'pencil beam' targeting set to determine the bearing and depth of the target.\nConstruction and career\nGrafton was launched by Lady Grantham, wife of Admiral Sir Guy Grantham, who was Commander-in-Chief Portsmouth. She was first commissioned in January 1957, serving with the 2nd Frigate Squadron based at Portland Harbour until March 1963, when the ship started a refit at Portsmouth Dockyard. Following this refit, Grafton joined the 20th Frigate Squadron based at Londonderry Port in Northern Ireland, being based there until April 1969, when she was paid off.\nShe attended Portsmouth Navy Days in 1967 and again in 1968. Grafton was broken up at Inverkeithing from December 1971",

It wasn't an easy choice, however \u2014 also in the preliminary list were Brett Eldredge, Tyler Farr, Kip Moore, Chase Rice and Dan + Shay.\nNow, country fans are being asked to narrow it down to just one winner.

        "title": "New Nebraska Network: Adrian Smith & Jerry Falwell's America",
        "raw_content": "Adrian Smith & Jerry Falwell's America\nI would not dream of calling Adrian Smith an Anti-Catholic bigot. Still, his ties to Jerry Falwell and Falwell's Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA raise some serious questions about what beliefs attracted Smith to first enroll there as a college undergraduate. These questions are made especially relevant by Smith's decision to hold a campaign rally on Liberty University's campus, demonstrating continued commitment to Falwell and his extremist ideology.\nLU's student newspaper, The Champion, reports:\nDressed sharply in a blue suit, Nebraska state Senator Adrian Smith seems to be the all-American guy, born and raised in Gering, Neb., a town of about 7,800 residents. He came to Liberty in 1989 and spent three semesters at LU before transferring to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is the first former Liberty student to make a run for the United States House of Representatives.\nSunday, Sept. 17, Smith and his staff held a rally..., inviting people from campus and Thomas Road to meet the man who is in the race for a seat in the House.\nDr. Ron Godwin, head of the Helms School of Government, was on hand to introduce Smith. Godwin described him as a \u201cpioneer, a pathfinder for many, many more leaders like him in the days ahead\u201d\u2026.\nAs a high school senior, Smith came to Liberty for College for a Weekend. Though he had never lived in Virginia before, he made the step to attend college at Liberty...After his first year, he had a desire to work in his state government, but in order to become a page in local legislature, students had to attend college in Nebraska.\nPastor Jonathan Falwell also lauded Smith for his track record and his stance on important and controversial issues.\n\u201cThat\u2019s the kind of person we need in congress,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need people who stand up and say \u2018this is what I believe\u2019 and will fight for what they believe.\u201d\nHe also said his father, Chancellor Jerry Falwell, had the desire to \u201caffect the culture\u201d and that \u201cone day, he wanted to send a Liberty student to congress.\u201d\n\u201cI hope to be in the House for a good long time,\u201d Smith said before the gathering. \u201cI want to get elected and stay there until retirement.\u201d\nJonathan Falwell, generally considered the heir to his father's ministry, has donated almost $2,000 to Smith's campaign. Fair enough - Scott Kleeb has received donations from friends and colleagues from school as well. Still, what's actually troubling about the above article (aside from the fact that Smith's only aspiration is to be a politician for the rest of his life) is the possibility that a Smith victory would advance Falwell's diseased idea of America.\nAlthough Jerry Falwell has toned down his Anti-Catholic teachings since recognizing the Catholic vote's political potential and how it might be exploited to fit his ends, he has nevertheless continued to earn his reputation as a corrupt \"Agent of Intolerance,\" as he was so famously described by Republican Sen. John McCain in 2000. Some of Falwell's more shameful moments include:\n*In a collection of Falwell's sermons published in 1979, it reads \"I hope to live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!\"\n*In October 1987, the Federal Election Commission fined Falwell $6,000 for transferring $6.7 million in funds intended for his ministry to political committees.\n*In 1994, Falwell used his \"Old Time Gospel Hour\" to sell a video called \"The Clinton Chronicles\" that made a number of unsubstantiated charges against President Bill Clinton - among them that he was a drug addict and that he arranged the murders of political enemies in Arkansas. Despite claims he had no ties to the project, evidence surfaced that Falwell helped bankroll the venture with $200,000.\n*In June 1997, Falwell announced a plan to urge fundamentalist churches to intervene in partisan politics. He vowed to send sample candidate endorsement sermons that pastors could read in their churches.\n*In November 1997, Falwell accepted $3.5 million from a front group representing controversial Korean evangelist Sun Myung Moon to ease Liberty University's financial woes ($40 million in debt). The donation, and several Falwell appearances at Moon conferences, raised eyebrows because Moon claims to be the messiah...In 1978, before the Moon money started flowing, Falwell told Esquire magazine, \"Reverend Sun Myung Moon is like the plague: he exploits boys and girls, and he should be exported.\"\n*In January 1999, Falwell told a pastors' conference in Kingsport, Tenn., that the Antichrist prophesied in the Bible is alive today and \"of course he'll be Jewish.\"\n*In February 1999, Falwell issued a \"parents alert\" warning that Tinky Winky, a character on the popular PBS children's show `\"Teletubbies,\" might be gay.\n*Responding to the terrorist attack on 9/11/2001, Falwell stated, \"God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve.\"\nIt would be unfair to hold Adrian Smith accountable for Falwell's obnoxious statements and misdeeds over the years, but it's troubling that Smith has made no effort to disavow Falwell's most extremist and intolerant tendencies.\nAt one point in his career, Falwell was so vehemently (and openly) anti-Catholic that he would not share a stage with a priest. This legacy, though now more subdued, continues at Liberty University and perhaps even in the heart of Adrian Smith.\nIt's no accident that co-author of the best-selling apocalypic Left Behind books Tim LaHaye has donated millions of dollars to the school. Lahaye's Left Behind series, of course, features the Roman Catholic Church as an instrument of the Anti-Christ. LaHaye, who's been in league with Falwell for decades, was also once forced to resign from Jack Kemp's presidential campaign for calling Roman Catholocism \"a false religion.\" And, throughout the 1970s, his church sponsored an anti-Catholic group called Mission to Catholics that printed materials calling Pope Paul VI an \"archpriest of Satan, a deceiver, and an antichrist.\"\nNow, the Liberty University hockey team plays at the LaHaye Ice Center, while students work out at the LaHaye Student Center, relax in the LaHaye Lounge, and even take classes in the so-called LaHaye School of Prophecy, which teaches End Times theology.\nMore outspoken than Falwell, LaHaye's own vision for America includes:\nA Religious Right utopia where there is no separation of church and state. Abortion is outlawed and homosexuality is lumped in with pedophilia and prostitution as \"perverse sexual practices\" that are \"universally viewed as immoral and would be shunned.\" Censorship is rampant as the \"Christian and pro-moral community\" use the federal government to promulgate \"decency\" codes.....\nPublic schools are turned into centers for fundamentalist indoctrination with daily prayer, promotion of the Ten Commandments and creationism firmly ensconced. The Department of Education has been abolished, and teenagers are given no sex education at school.\nAdrian Smith actually found ideas such as these attractive? This is the environment in which he felt at home? This is where he actually chose to go to college?\nBeyond the religious and political fringe, Falwell and Liberty University have also shown outright hostility to non-white Americans, naming LU's School of Government after Sen. Jesse Helms, one of the most notorious race-baiting politicians of the 20th century.\nFinally, for a telling illustration of Liberty University's campus climate - and more about Adrian Smith than we probably want to know - look at the school's student code of conduct, which prohibits viewing R-rated movies (12 reprimands/$50 fine), attending a dance (6 reprimands/$25 fine), and participating in an unauthorized petition or demonstration (12 reprimands/$50 fine). Just possessing alcohol or spending the night with a person of the opposite sex are punishable by 30 reprimands, a $500 fine, 30 hours of Community Service, and possible expulsion.\nAnd, now, Falwell and the entire school are looking to Adrian Smith as their foothold in Congress - their \"pathfinder\" - the first of many who will remake America into something decidedly un-American. I don't know about you, but - this Halloween season - that might be the scariest idea of all.\nIf looking for another reason to make one final donation to Scott Kleeb's campaign, I think you've just found it.\nIntolerance. Anti-Catholicism. Jesse Helms. The death of public eduacation. Limits on free speech. Those are not the values of Nebraska's Third District voters - who are largely common sense conservatives, not Falwell-style extremists.\nole adrian said...\n\"spending the night with a person of the opposite sex\"\n-doubt ole Adrian had much trouble abiding by that one. lol.\nthree and out? said...\nI wonder why Smith went for three years and then transfered? Seems odd not to finish with one year left. Family problems, homesick, realized that he needed to get back to his nebraska roots so he can run for congress as the true 4th generation nebraskan!?\ni don't see much difference between the club for growth and grover norquist and the leadership of the religious right. certainly there are many americans who take the preachings of falwell/roberston/dobson to heart. but the above three--and those like them--are ultimately in it for the buck. whether falwell is producing the clinton chronicles (a \"documentary\" he won't even defend as true) or robertson and his diamond mining expeditions or dobson trying to pimp books. theyre in it for a buck, and have no compunction about bastardizing christianity to make it.\nHistoryChick said...\nHey Kyle, HistoryChick here!\nSo, I just found out Adrian Smith is gay. Apparently this is old news (as indicated by the post above). I found out from a person who actually had an affair with Smith a few years ago and broke up when he found out who Smith was and what his stance was. (Like Adrian, my friend is totally in the closet and would never go public with this!)\nI did a second check with a friend who worked for Bob Kerry in Lincoln and she said it was common knowledge and that the Rep. party is working overtime to keep it quiet.\nKleeb's campaign knows but won't go dirty. Another thing to totally love about this guy - his utter decency!\nSmith lets the RNCC put up ads positioning Kleeb as pro gay marriage because he supports civil unions (not to mention all Adrian's Falwellian \"traditional values\" BS) - and he's GAY??\nI've heard Smith is a nice guy, is that why no one has outed him? I don't care at all that he's gay and feel bad if he doesn't want to be outed but the hypocracy drives me NUTS!\nHistoryChick-\nYou have tarnished any kind of victory that might be won on Tuesday. For what? A last-ditch act of desperation that will only be seen by Internet-types, who are mostly good people and want NOTHING to do with such underhanded BS.\nI am ashamed of myself and this site if this is really the sort of politics that we inspire.\nKyle, for real? You think that way? Why is noting someone's sexual orientation a horrifying thing?\nFriends With Benefits - Ricketts Buys Hagel a Boun...\nLee Terry: The Times They Are A-Changin'\nWacko Wing of the Republican Party Rallies Around ...\nDave Heineman: 100% Pure Politician",

He also charged the nation\u2019s elite and the media to avoid breeding clashes among Nigerians through unhealthy comments. Buhari Buhari Buhari, who spoke in Abuja, yesterday, while declaring open the 8th Edition of National Security Seminar 2018, organised by Alumni Association of the National Defence College in collaboration with the Office of National Security Adviser, ONSA, and National Defence College, NDC, insisted that elite must avoid creating fertile ground through \u201cwhat is said and what is done.\u201d Represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Buhari said: \u201dNigerian elite should hold Nigeria together by their actions and utterances as well as our values.\u201d\nHe maintained that incessant attacks by terrorists on soft targets such as the kidnap of the schoolgirls and the incident at Rann were to create the impression that the terrorists are still very much around, insisting that compared to when he took over the reign of governance in 2015, the insurgents have been effectively degraded. The president said since the kidnap of the girls, the nation\u2019s armed forces have been fully mobilised to Borno and Yobe states to ensure the security and safety of the people as well as schools in that part of the country. Said he: \u201c Boko Haram, as we all know, rejects authority and strives to take over territory, estblishing a caliphate in line with ISIS objectives. Between 2012 and 2015, they seemed to be well on their way to achieve their objectives by annexing some territory of Nigeria and contesting territory with it.\u201d \u201cAs of march 2015 Boko Haram controls about 20,000square kilometres of Nigeria, that is about the size of Belgium, from the eastern border of Cameroon to parts of Lake Chad. In Borno, 20 of 27 local government arees under Boko Haram control, including Mubi in Adamawa and some villages.\n\u201cIn addition to this, their footprints were registered in Abuja, Kaduna, Kano with the bombings of UN building and Police HQ in Abuja . That was the state of affairs as of early 2015. Today BH does not occupy any local government area in Nigeria and they no longer have the capacity to hold a territory. and challenge the sovereignty of the state. \u201cGone are the days they operate outside the precincts of the northeast, leaving behind carnage and bloodshed. They are now operating as desperate criminal gang mostly in relics or groups taking over some communities, using children as suicide bombers, kidnapping innocent girls and children.\u201d\nPresident Buhari who lauded the gallantry and bravery of the nation\u2019s armed forces, said Nigerians and the current administration will remain grateful to them for their sacrifice, stating that \u201cas things are today, the situation would have been worse without the gallantry of our armed forces.\u201d He said with the objectives of the Boko Haram group to establish a caliphate in Nigeria now made impossble by the military, the government, the people and the military must come to the understanding of the deception that is at the heart of the current spate of attacks and kidnapping that the group was bent on creating the impression that they are still very much around.\nRead more at: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/03/im-everything-possible-avoid-abduction-attacks-people-buhari/\nPosted by admin on Mar 6 2018.

        "raw_content": "David Boreanaz Defends 'Buffy' Reboot to Booing Fans: 'I'm All for It'\nDavid Boreanaz is totally on board for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot \u2014 just don\u2019t ask him to star in it.\nThe SEAL Team star made an appearance at New York Comic Con on Thursday and responded to the crowd booing when the planned reboot \u2014 which is currently in development, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. writer Monica Owusu-Breen penning the pilot \u2014 was mentioned during his discussion.\n\u201cCome on, guys,\u201d Boreanaz told the crowd. \u201cIt\u2019s a good thing. Let\u2019s just embrace [it]\u2026 I\u2019m very happy for them. They want to embrace a new generation, something new.\u201d\n\u201cEverybody wants old, they want to go back,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhich I can understand: you want to see us back in these roles. It\u2019s great, it\u2019s cool [but] things move on, stories evolve, times change. I think it\u2019s a great opportunity for a reboot like this to show where we are with society now, what you can do with technology, how you can explore those relationships with the same kinds of metaphors. I\u2019m all for it. I think it\u2019s fantastic. Good for them. I hope that it becomes huge and successful, and does what it does.\u201d\nET confirmed the new series was in the works back in July, and backlash from fans started almost immediately, despite the fact that original series creator Joss Whedon will serve as an executive producer on the new Buffy. Owusu-Breen has also spoken out about some of the fans\u2019 biggest concerns, noting that she\u2019s a massive fan of the original series herself.\n\u201cFor some genre writers, it\u2019s Star Wars. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my Star Wars,\u201d she wrote on Twitter after the series was announced. \u201cBefore I became a writer, I was a fan. For seven seasons I watched Buffy Summers grow up, find love, kill that love. I watched her fight, and struggle and slay.\u201d\npic.twitter.com/Sdz4oKh3gM\n\u2014 monicaowusubreen (@monicabreen) July 26, 2018\n\u201cThere is only one Buffy. One Xander, one Willow, Giles, Cordelia, Oz, Tara, Kendra, Faith, Spike, Angel\u2026They can\u2019t be replaced. Joss Whedon\u2019s brilliant and beautiful series can\u2019t be replicated. I wouldn\u2019t try to,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut here we are, twenty years later\u2026And the world seems a lot scarier. So maybe, it could be time to meet a new Slayer\u2026And that\u2019s all I can say.\u201d\nThe new series is set to feature a black female main character stepping into the slayer shoes of original series star Sarah Michelle Gellar. For Boreanaz, it\u2019s just another welcome chapter in the Buffy saga.\n\u201cYou have to realize, we started it,\u201d he said of the franchise, which also includes spinoff series Angel, as well as a series of comics. \u201cWe\u2019re proud of that. If someone can step in my shoes and play my character, f**k, go ahead! I think that\u2019s great, because I ain\u2019t putting on that makeup anymore!\u201d\nSee more from the cast\u2019s recent reunion in celebration of Buffy\u2019s20th anniversary in the video below.\nRELATED: 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Reboot Writer Defends Revival \u2014 and Teases a 'New Slayer'\nPICS: Sarah Michelle Gellar Celebrates 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Anniversary With Rare Photos From the Show\nWATCH: 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Cast Reunites for 20th Anniversary Photo Shoot",

Zealand Road leaves the west side of Rt. 302 2.2 miles east of Rt. 3. Parking is one mile down, on the right.\nAlthough they share a common name with a multitude of other mountains, these two Sugarloafs are far from ordinary. Middle Sugarloaf in particular commands one of the finest views for its small size in the White Mountains. The hike starts along pretty Zealand River. The trail follows the riverbank for 0.2 miles before turning left into the woods as Trestle Trail continues ahead. The trail ascends easily through the forest, crossing a snowmobile trail in the beginning. Watch for wildflowers on the side of the trail, like the painted trillium. Further up, the trail squeezes through the halves of a split boulder. Shortly after this, the trail becomes steeper and climbs by some rock stairs. The trail forks in the gap between the two mountains, 0.7 miles from the river. We recommend visiting North Sugarloaf first (turn right). The north branch of the trail circles around the top of North Sugarlaf and makes a short ascent to the ledgy summit in 0.3 miles. The summit rocks afford a one-directional view to the south, looking directly at Middle Sugarloaf.\nThe south branch runs flat for a short distance, then ascends the mountain by switchbacks. Just below the summit, the trail ascends a very steep spot on a ladder. The summit is reached in half a mile. From the wide open summit of Middle Sugarloaf, the views are spectacular. You can see in almost all directions by exploring the expansive rock, but the best view is to the south toward the nearby Rosebrook Range, Mt. Hale, and the Twin Mountains. Also notable is the fine view of the Presidentials.",

The Lady of the Pier \u2013 The Ebb is the first of two, and is a paranormal romance that takes the reader from Brighton in the thirties to Corfu in the eighties:\nHaving already read Moschoudi\u2019s first book, The Necklace of Goddess Athena, I expected more of the excellent writing I have come to associate with her.

        "title": "Interview with Author A.R. Silverberry | Nicholas C. Rossis",
        "raw_content": "Interview with Author A.R. Silverberry\nYou may have read my interview on A. R. Silverberry\u2019s blog. Today, it\u2019s my turn to return the favour. A. R. Silverberry writes fiction for adults and children. His novel, WYNDANO\u2019S CLOAK, won multiple awards, including the Benjamin Franklin Award gold medal for Juvenile/Young Adult Fiction. He lives in California, where the majestic coastline, trees, and mountains inspire his writing. THE STREAM is his second novel.\nHi, great to have you here! Starting this interview in an unusual way, men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Where are you from?\nSaturn, possibly Andromeda, on account of my mind drifting far away. Or perhaps another century, 18th or 19th, your choice. When everyone else was listening to Credence Clearwater, I was braving the mold-infested cellar under our garage to pluck rare gems from a classical 78 collection we\u2019d inherited.\nWyndano\u2019s Cloak won a bunch of awards, including the Benjamin Franklin Award Gold-Medal in Juvenile Young Adult Fiction.\nWhat inspired you to write The Stream?\nI was using the metaphor of a stream in a conversation. That sounds mundane, but we were talking about something I felt passionately about, and that feeling never left me through out the writing of the novel. Anyway, the rest of the day, I kept thinking about that metaphor. A few hours later, the character of a small boy\u2014alone, defenceless, trying to understand the ways of the world\u2014popped into my mind. I saw images of him confronting the challenges we all face in life: love, loss, pain, losing your way. The next morning, I put aside the novel I was working on (it wasn\u2019t working anyway), and started writing. It pretty much tumbled out of me and didn\u2019t let go until it was done.\nAs a child, before I fell asleep asleep, I played out a story in mind. It was a series. Each night I picked up where I\u2019d left off. Despite what Freud says about boys not thinking about girls during latency, these were hefty romances, usual about a crush from my class, but there were also adventures at the top of Mt. Tamalpais with a cave made from indestructible steel. I don\u2019t recall telling anyone about the stories, but my mom must have known, because she and I used to steal away to a private place where I dictated and she scrawled like crazy. I don\u2019t think she liked it when I made the sounds of an X-ray machine. Imp that I was, I tried to peek at the paper and asked her how she\u2019d spelled it. She told me not to worry, she\u2019d gotten it down.\nMy fantasy novel for children, Wyndano\u2019s Cloak, was published in 2010. I\u2019ve written some unpublished storybooks and a few short stories.\nI\u2019ve played piano for over fifty years. Besides walking, it\u2019s the main way I relax. By the way, walking is where I get my best ideas and solve story problems.\nIn your photo you look younger than me (I\u2019m forty-five). Which means you started playing the piano before birth. Good thing you\u2019re a time traveler, then. What are you working on at the moment? Tell us a little about your current project.\nIt\u2019s a YA, dystopian, sci-fi, fantasy. (Say that five times real fast and you\u2019re a better man than me!) I see it as a trilogy. I\u2019m halfway through the fourth draft. I tell myself I won\u2019t release it until all three books are done. We\u2019ll see if I stick to that!\nWhich are your favorite authors and what do you love about them?\nI go through phases. Last decade, I read a lot of Dickens and Dean Koontz. This decade, it\u2019s Stephen King. Tolkien, Robert E Howard, the Oz books, fairy tales, and myths were my constant diet growing up.\nFunny, in your blog you had mentioned Borges, too. You were just humoring me, weren\u2019t you? Anyway, are you an Indie author? If so, do you have any advice for other indie authors?\nMy editor urged me to submit Wyndano\u2019s Cloak to an agent. He felt so strongly about it, he actually sent it to one without my knowing it! It was nice to have someone feel that passionately about my story, but I kept telling him no. I had a strong vision of what I wanted. Publishers are sharp and know the marketplace, but they are people, subject to the same subjective responses as the rest of us. I didn\u2019t want them mucking the book up, insisting on additions or deletions. I wanted complete artistic control and to maintain my vision of the work. But traditional publishing has many advantages, including distribution, connections to libraries and bookstores, and reviews in respected newspapers and journals. The downside is that there are so many people trying to squeeze through just a few doors. My plan for new works is to submit to agents and editors. It\u2019s worth six months of submissions. If nothing pans out, the indie route is still there.\nMy advice to indie authors is the same I would give to any writer: Write the truth.\nMy wife. My cat. My health. I have a private psychotherapy practice. I\u2019m grateful for the confidence my clients have in me.\nWeaver of magic.\nThank you! Can you give me a synopsis of The Stream?\nWhat if your world was six miles wide and endlessly long?\nAfter a devastating storm kills his parents, five-year-old Wend awakens to the strange world of the Stream. He discovers he can only travel downstream, and dangers lurk at every turn: deadly rapids, ruthless pirates, a mysterious pavilion that lures him into intoxicating fantasies, and rumor of a giant waterfall at the edge of the world. Defenseless, alone, with only courage and his will to survive, Wend begins his quest to become a man. Will tragic loss trap him in a shadow world, or will he enter the Stream, with all its passion and peril?\nPart coming-of-age tale, part adventure, part spiritual journey, The Stream is a fable about life, impermanence, and the gifts found in each moment.\nIt sounds fascinating! Where can we purchase The Stream?\nSoftback:\nHow about Wyndano\u2019s Cloak? What is that about?\nA sinister shapeshifter threatens to shatter Jen\u2019s world and the kingdom of Aerdem. But how will she strike? A knife in the dark? An attack from her legions? Or with the dark arts and twisted creatures she commands with sinister cunning? Wyndano\u2019s Cloak may be Jen\u2019s only hope. If she has what it takes to use it . . .\nSecrets, riddles, and mystery abound in this award-winning fantasy of loyalty, betrayal, and the yearning of the spirit. Ages 10 and up.\nWhere can we purchase Wyndano\u2019s Cloak?\nLimited first edition Hardback:\nSigned and unsigned copies available only from the author\nAnd where can people follow A. R. Silverberry?\nThank you so much, it was great having you here. \ud83d\ude42\nA. R. Silverberry\ton July 30, 2014 at 19:24\nI\u2019ve heard I\u2019ve got a twin out there! If he and I ever meet, will we explode like positive and negative energy colliding?!\nIn Ancient Egyptian mythology, a ka was a tangible \u201cspirit double\u201d having the same memories and feelings as the person to whom the counterpart belongs. In one Egyptian myth entitled \u201cThe Greek Princess\u201d, an Egyptian view of the Trojan War, a ka of Helen was used to mislead Paris of Troy, helping to stop the war.\nHowever, you\u2019re a psychologist. Therefore, you\u2019re probably more interested in Heautoscopy (lit. self-view), a term for the reduplicative hallucination of \u201cseeing one\u2019s own body at a distance\u201d, something that can occur as a symptom in schizophrenia and epilepsy.\nHmm\u2026 Even the positive and negative energy colliding sound better than that!\nThanks for the great interview, Nicholas! About that photo, they can be deceiving, as Dorian Gray proved! I\u2019m actually 61! I\u2019ll let you decide if it\u2019s vanity or laziness that impels me to use a photo that\u2019s about 15 years old! In my defense, I\u2019ve noticed quite a few authors do that! Nope, I wasn\u2019t yanking your chain about Jorge Luis Borges. He\u2019s such a special case that he wasn\u2019t on my mind when I responded to your question. I remember reading him in 6th grade, and then rereading the same same stories several times through out my life. There are so many twists and turns that it\u2019s like reading them for the first time. I can never remember the ending.\nThe funny thing about this photo is that you look just like a friend (and old classmate) of mine. He\u2019s 45, of course, but the resemblance is uncanny!\nThanks for hopping over, it was a pleasure having you here! \ud83d\ude42",

I want to introduce them to his teachings and encourage them to live a life that is pleasing to him. I want them to know these things but I know they are just not ready for the bible or certain books because they simply don\u2019t understand some of what is written.

        "title": "Freedom of Speech, Religion, and Islamic Jihad: Who Should Apologize?",
        "raw_content": "Freedom of Speech, Religion, and Islamic Jihad: Who Should Apologize?\nIn Memory of the Victims of September 11, 1922:\nLet us study the history so that we do not repeat past mistakes.\nTasty dessert or sacrilege?\nClick to see why this ice cream cone was banned.\nFrom \"The Religion of Peace\":\n\"Should the Pope apologize for saying that Islam isn't always a Religion of Peace, or should Muslims apologize for having let their religion become what it is? Let's look at the numbers:\nSince we've been keeping track, at least six priests, 14 pastors and thousands of Christians have been murdered in the name of Islam in just the last five years. This even includes 382 who were slain by Muslims in or on the grounds of a church in countries like Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, the Philippines, Uzbekistan, Ethiopia, Turkey and Bangladesh.\nBy contrast, we can't find a single incident since 9/11 when a mosque leader or ordinary Muslim was murdered in the name of Catholicism.\"\n[I would also note that most of the churches bombed in the Palestinian territories since the pope's speech were not even Catholic; \"any infidel will do\" in their view I suppose]\n\"So, please excuse us for not getting worked up over someone's hurt feelings. Islam will become a Religion of Peace when Muslims decide to make it so. Stop the killing. Stop the self-indulgent whining and excuse. Earn our respect by stepping up and taking responsibility.\"\nWe cannot tolerate a militant intolerance that seeks to subvert and subjugate:\nThe last highway exit before Mecca, Saudi Arabia. First, they changed the transliteration from \"Mecca\" to \"Makkah\" because \"infidels\" were using the word \"Mecca\" too much. Non-muslims are obligated to take the exit so they don't defile Mecca with their \"najis\" uncleanness. Imagine if the U.S. tried to ban people from a city based on religion. But in the Wahabi state this is necessary to keep non-Muslims \"in their place\".\n(they even put the word \"Muslim\" in uppercase and \"non muslim\" in lowercase, in case we didn't get the message to keep our \"unclean\" selves away)\nSome people have been deriding the U.S. for its \"Crusade\" in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is silly. Just like in Kosovo and Bosnia, the end result of our intervention will be the perpetuation of a Muslim state, and the future for both Iraq and Afghanistan will belong to hardline fundamentalist Muslims who can implement their idea of theocratic utopia. Our interventions help the cause of jihad; they don't hinder it, though I doubt people would want to admit that. In Kosovo, we intervened because Muslims were being massacred. What did the Muslim government and people commence when they had power? Kill and persecute the Christians, Jews and Gypsies. Jihad fi sabil Allah. (\"fighting for the sake of God\").\nFrom Iraq's sistani.org website, this \"moderate\" which the U.S. hopes will help usher in a peaceful democracy in that country. Sistani is perhaps the most moderate of the major religious figures vying for power.\nHe gets right to the point. Click here to see his site's discussion of uncleanness. It is not merely his view. On the Faith Freedom site, we find a Shi'ite Muslim in Iran amazed that a Christian's house was clean, while his Muslim friends' houses were not. The reason for this is that he had been brought up to consider non-Muslims as \"najis\", dirty people one should not have contact with. We also find one writer's grandmother who could not hate anyone because of her \"sweet\" nature, but nevertheless could not shake hands or otherwise have contact with a non-Muslim because of the rules.\nYou will undoubtedly notice the word \"kafir\" recurring in sites such as this; it must be something uniquely heinous, or at least as dirty as alcohol, pigs and dogs. Some may be familiar with its use in South Africa under apartheid, a nasty term of abuse worse than the English \"N-word\".\nA kafir in Arabic means an \"unbeliever\", an \"infidel\". As in \"Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them\" (Koran, Surah 9:5). When the Muslim armies from Arabia invaded Africa, they referred to the indigenous black population as \"kafir\" and the name stuck, but as a racial rather than a religious term of abuse.\nThe following picture is also from \"The Religion of Peace\". The protester happens to be dressed just like a Ku Klux Klan (KKK) member, a terrorist group which is fast receding into the dustbin of history, because people don't tolerate their violence and racism anymore. There is a lesson to be learned there. Terrorists get strength and safe haven from their sympathizers, so we must be uncompromising in never sympathizing with this kind of thing.\nWho was this Emperor Paleologos who the pope quoted? He was a Byzantine Emperor whose empire was besieged and then subjugated by -- you guessed it -- a violent jihad. Wikipedia has a good article on him. You will note that not only was most of his life spent under the danger of Muslim conquest of his country, but that in fact when he wrote the passage which the pope quoted, he was a hostage of the Sultan. He may well have had a weapon aimed at him, much like today's hostages of jihadis, when he said:\n\"To convince a reasonable soul, one does not need a strong arm, or weapons of any kind, or any other means of threatening a person with death...\"\nWhile the Ottomans forced him to pay tribute later as well, the empire itself did not fall until 1453, when one of Manuel II's sons, Constantine XI, was emperor.\n(This and other quotes from Emperor Paleologos can be found in various translations, such as the German one the pope used, and are also available in the original Greek and in Latin translation in J.P. Migne's Patrologia Graeca, vol. 156.)\nThe next 400 years were a time of great oppression. Of course, Ottoman and Muslim apologists will try to paint a rosy \"Gone with the Wind\" picture of life as a Christian or Jew under Muslim rule, but in fact it was a \"Jim Crow\" type of existence which was demanded by the Sharia, Islamic law. Conquered non-Muslims are given an \"opportunity\" to \"embrace\" Islam (if they're not killed in the course of battle). If a Hindu or other person deemed a polytheist, then they are to be killed if they refuse. For Christians and Jews, there is the additional \"option\" of entering into an agreement of protection (\"dhimma\"), accepting status as a \"dhimmi\", a second-class status where if one keeps a low profile, keeps in one's \"place\", wears distinctive clothing marking him/her as a non-Muslim (so Muslims aren't defiled by contact with them) and always acts submissive in the presence of Muslims (there are a lot more humiliating rules), then they theoretically will be left in peace, not harmed, and will be able to practice their faith. Unless they marry, have sex with or convert a Muslim (death penalty). Their testimony is worth half a Muslim's testimony in court (and a woman's is worth half of that), but they are not allowed to defend themselves if struck or abused by a Muslim. Churches and synagogues must be lower than mosques, and building or even repairing them requires special permission that is rarely given, and requires further humiliation. And there is the submission tax, the jizya, the penalty for being non-Muslim. All this is designed to gradually wear the non-Muslims into submission. In some areas like Bosnia it succeeded, whereas in Greece there were very few conversions and the country remains 98% Christian today.\nIf a dhimmi transgresses these limits imposed on him or her, retribution is swift. There does not have to be any actual transgression; the occasional lynching or pogrom is a way of showing who's boss, for example, a Christian man rumored to be having an affair with a Muslim woman. In this context one can see why the above protesters think that the Catholic pope should abide by Muslim \"limits\". There is a strong resemblance of dhimmitude to the treatment of blacks under the Jim Crow laws in the old South of the U.S., where a lynching could result from the most trivial violation or imagined violation of the discriminatory rules. Perhaps this is why the late Greek Orthodox Archbishop Iakovos marched in the Selma, Alabama civil rights march in 1965. He grew up as a Greek in Turkey under dhimmitude and knew what second-class citizenship was like. In fact, to this day, the current Orthodox patriarch in Constantinople (Istanbul) and the few remaining Christians there are still subject to severe restrictions, enforced more by the threat of mob violence than of law. The patriarch, though a Christian leader, cannot be freely elected but, as during Ottoman times, can only be selected from a list of \"loyal\" Turkish citizens picked by the Turkish government. And there was no abolition of actual slavery in 19th-century Turkey as there was in the West; African slaves continued to be sold in Constantinople until 1908.\nArchbishop Chrisostomos, lynched just before the burning of Smyrna on 9/11/1922\nBy the early 20th century, the Ottoman Empire was disintegrating. Much of the Balkans had freed themselves, though the Armenians had not. Various justifications are still put forth for the genocides of that period, but the Armenian Genocide of 1915 is the largest, reported to have involved the murder of 15,000,000 Armenians. Dido Sotiriou's book Farewell Anatolia has been acclaimed by Turk and Greek alike as an even-handed portrayal of the last days of the dhimmi in this period of Turkey's history, culminating with the Great Fire of 1922. The ancient city of Smyrna had been a major Christian city since New Testament times, and still on the eve of its destruction it was known to the Turks as gavur Izmir which means \"infidel Smyrna\", gavur being the same as the Arabic word kafir discussed above, and remaining a very derogatory word. Smyrna had earned that title because despite nearly 500 years of harassment, forced conversions, jihad and discrimination, it was still a Muslim-minority city. Most of the inhabitants were Greeks, Armenians and Jews. Until the city was set ablaze, while soldiers butchered those trying to escape. At least in the Christian and Jewish quarters. The small Muslim quarter was untouched. The archbishop (Chrisostomos) was literally chopped to pieces, first his eyes, then ears, nose and hands. He was lynched on September 9, 1922, and the entire non-Muslim part of the city burned down on -- you guessed it -- September 11, 1922. To this day, people throw about theories about \"Armenian terrorists\" staging it all, or the Greek army doing it -- as if they would kill their own people? (Of course, it is only five years since September 11, 2001 and there are already some crackpot theories about what happened, even from New Yorkers who witnessed it with their own eyes.)\nSmyrna still in flames on September 14, 1922\nNew York City on September 14, 2001 (also still in flames)\nMy grandfather was from Smyrna and he was one of the lucky ones who escaped in time and came to the U.S. The refugees from this calamity made Astoria, New York the Greek community which it remains today, and Athens, Greece also took in a lot of refugees, so that what had been a small town for centuries now became a large city.\nThose who say that there is no such thing as violent jihad need to brush up on their history.\nBut what about the Crusades? Well, we Orthodox Christians know well about the Crusades; the pope's armies committed atrocities on our ancestors just as they did to the Muslims, including killing and raping inside churches. (While the Western Catholics and Eastern Orthodox were one church for the first millenium of Christianity, they split in the Great Schism of 1054, so that we were \"schismatics\" in the eyes of Rome for refusing to accept universal jurisdiction of the pope and the addition of the \"filioque\" phrase to the Nicene Creed.)\nWe are certainly no fan of the Crusades, and are glad that there has been no Crusade for many centuries. Why, though, don't the Muslims apologize for having taken the Holy Land (and the Balkans, and Syria, and a large swath of Africa, and so on) by force, damaging and destroying churches there and building Al-Aqsa mosque over the Jewish Temple? Why is it that we always \"have\" to apologize, while they can do whatever they please and most people don't have the backbone to call them on it? If not for the Muslim armies, there would have been no need for the Crusades, and as atrocity-filled as the Crusades were, the Anatolian conquests and genocides were no picnic either. The Holy Land itself suffered greatly from two waves of Muslim pillaging; first the Arab armies of the 7th Century, then later the Turks. Those were morally and materially just like Crusades. We're still waiting for the apology.\nMost of the \"Crusader\" churches bombed in the Palestinian terroritories since the pope's comment are not even Catholic. And as we all know, Catholics don't go on Crusades nowadays, nor do other Christians. The lame arguments of the bin Laden sympathizers that our Iraq, etc. interventions are Crusades are silly. We have greatly helped the jihadi cause by propping up the Wahabi rulers in Saudi Arabia, and by getting rid of the Taliban and Saddam Hussein so a new fundamentalist Islamic republic can be established. Actually, Karzai in Afghanistan seems to be no extremist, but he can only do so much with his limited control of the country. But there is no question that these are and will all be Islamic governments, in both cases putting Sharia Islamic law into the constitution just as with the Islamic Republic of Iran which took our embassy personnel hostage. In former Yugoslavia we bombed Christians during their Easter services, and why? Certainly, Slobodan Milosevic was an opportunistic butcher who committed atrocities, but the war did not remedy the problem of ethnic tension. The peacekeepers there are the only thing preventing the Muslims from executing the few remaining old ladies and other non-Muslims who have not been able to leave yet. Atrocities are still being committed, but the politically correct view is apparently that only Christians have to apologize for their actions; if a Muslim does it it must be right.\nThis page has been visited times since September 25, 2006.",

Big and agile, he grew to 6-4 and starred on the line for Paterson High School. In 1972, Dave accepted a scholarship to Kansas, where he played tackle under head coaches Dan Fambrough and Bud Moore. The Jayhawks played in bowl games his freshman and junior seasons, losing both times.\nDave\u2019s greatest game came against the Oklahoma Sooners, who would go on to win the national title that year. Kansas played an epic ball-control game, running on every play. The Jayhawks turned a 7\u20133 halftime lead into a 23\u20133 victory thanks to 8 second-half take-aways.\nThe Atlanta Falcons selected Dave in the third round of the 1976. His Welcome to the NFL moment came in preseason practice against fellow Falcon Claude Humphrey. He tried to chop block the veteran defensive end and the next thing he remembered was peeling himself off the turf.\nDave moved into the starting lineup as a guard in 1977, teaming with Jeff Van Note, Mike Kenn, Warren Bryant and RC Thielemann. Their offensive line was a key to the success of quarterback Steve Bartkowski, and, later, 1,000-yard rusher William Andrews. The Falcons made the playoffs for the first time in 1978. They defeated the Eagles in the Wild Card Game before falling to the Cowboys. In Dave\u2019s final season as a starter, 1980, the Falcons reeled off 9 straight wins and won the NFL West title for the first time with a 12\u20134 record. Unfortunately, they lost to the Cowboys in the playoffs again.\nDave retired after the 1981 season and went into business. He continues to live in the Atlanta area.",

Within weeks, supplies were being unloaded at Utah and Omaha beachheads at the rate of more than 20,000 tons per day.\n*By June 19 - we landed 314,504 American soldiers, 41,000 vehicles, and 116,000 tons of supplies.\n*The Allies over powered the Germans and had established a firm foothold in Normandy by June 30.

        "raw_content": "How to Explore a Charming City Without Following the Stereotype\nBy Melanie Prescott\nThough the hills and mountaintops of Salzburg, Austria, captivate the hearts of its people and the millions of tourists who visit them, those hills are not alive with the sound of music with which most Americans are familiar. Yes, some external scenes of \u201cThe Sound of Music\u201d were shot on location in Salzburg. No, the townspeople do no recreate the movie\u2019s infamous songs while biking around the city doing day-to-day activities. The charming city of Salzburg offers way more than a location for filming. The four attractions below are sure to reveal the historical charm Salzburg has to offer visitors without uttering a single tune of \u201cThe Sound of Music\u201d soundtrack.\nThe largest ice cave in the world rests in a market town fewer than 30 miles outside of Salzburg in Werfen, Austria. The journey to the entrance of the ice cave 600 meters up the side of the mountain takes form by bus or car, then by foot, by cable care and, again, by foot. The cave extends 40 meters inside, and the tour guides provide visitors with the history and science behind the formation of the ice cave. Although the cave is slightly outside the city of Salzburg, the drive or train ride is well worth the sight and experience of exploring the wonder of the ice cave.\n(Photo by Melanie Prescott)\nVisitors and locals alike have a clear view of the Hohensalzburg Fortress in most areas of the city. The fortress sits atop the Festungsberg mountain, which was a strategic build to prevent hostile attacks against the archbishops in residence some centuries ago. Apart from the history and artifacts of the more than 900-year-old fortress, the whole city of Salzburg can be seen from the fortress rooftop.\nThe Hellbrunn Palace was built more than 400 centuries ago by Archbishop Markus Sittikus as a pleasure palace. The palace extends to more than 140 acres. One of the main attractions of the Hellbrunn Palace are the trick fountains. The trick fountains include automats, grottos and fountains, which are all used to surprise visitors with squirts of water. The largest trick fountain is in the back of the palace, which is supplied by a natural spring.\nSalzburger Freilichmuseum\nThe rural history of Salzburg over the span of six centuries is replicated at the Salzburg Freilichtmusem, an open-air museum. About 100 authentic, historical farmhouses and buildings rest on the museum grounds, which covers more than 100 acres. Also, the museum train runs throughout the entire grounds, which takes about 30 minutes from start to finish, and provides a mid-station that arrives at the Salettl restaurant.\noandbmagazine October 5, 2018 real, Salzburg.

        "title": "Neil Gaiman | I Like It Dog-Eared",
        "raw_content": "I wish I could say I\u2019m a huge, huge Gaiman fan like my other friends are, but really, the only Gaiman book I\u2019ve read in my life is Stardust. I read it twice and loved it, and I always associate good memories with that book. I meant to read more Gaiman, but the only other book I have at home is The Graveyard Book, which has been in two of our book club\u2019s polls but kept on losing to other books so I had no reason to pick it up anytime soon. I knew he was one of those really awesome authors (plus he has the most awesome New Year\u2019s messages), and I know I had to read more of his works but it just doesn\u2019t really come up in the priority list. So when my friends started raving about The Ocean at the End of the Lane, I was only mildly curious.\nUntil I saw the book, touched it and realized how pretty the physical copy was. Needless to say, after a few moments of touching the cover, I went ahead and bought the book. Yes, I am easily swayed like that.\nThe Ocean at the End of the Lane is a short book, about an unnamed narrator who visits his childhood home and goes to the end of the road, where he remembers his childhood friend, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. It started with a man who lived with them who committed suicide, and then all sorts of weird things happened after that, trapping him in a bizarre world that has enchanted his family. It\u2019s too much for a little boy to deal with on his own, except that he wasn\u2019t really alone because his new friend Lettie promised to protect him at all costs.\nThe Ocean at the End of the Lane held me captive from the first page. It had a lovely sort of storytelling that was comforting and creepy at the same time \u2014 you know it\u2019s not real, but there\u2019s that fear of the things that our hero is getting himself into. I liked how honest and quiet the narration is, how the hero as a boy tried to make sense of things and be brave, even if things are getting creepier and creepier. You can feel all the doubt and worry and fear in him, and I wanted so much for him to prevail, for him to find a way out of things and save his family. It felt a little bit like a fairy tale, with how everything was set up, but also not so much, because there were really some frightening instances. Not scary in the sense of ghosts, or how horror movies were scary, but more of I\u2019m so scared for you type of terror.\nI think my favorite part of the entire story is the hero\u2019s friendship with Lettie. It\u2019s easy to nitpick on the Hempstocks and their abilities, but I won\u2019t because other reviewers have done that already. I\u2019d like to focus more on how Gaiman wrote the friendship \u2014 it was my most favorite part of the book. I liked how Lettie stood by him and protected him up to the end. It made the ending a lot more bittersweet, and full of heart. Yes, heart. That\u2019s the right word to use \u2014 especially with what I one of the Hempstocks said to the hero near the end of the book:\nI think you\u2019re doing better than you were the last time we saw you. You\u2019re growing a new heart, for a start.\nSuffice to say that after reading The Ocean at the End of the Lane, I will start working on reading more Gaiman. If all his books has the same kind of lovely storytelling, then I certainly don\u2019t want to miss out. :)\nPosted in: Reviews \\ Tagged: 2013, 5 stars, best of 2013, fantasy, Neil Gaiman\nHi. My wallet is currently mad at me right now. I had to hide it away because it\u2019s about to scream obscenities at me for\u2026well, spending so much. I can feel it grumbling at me at the middle of the week, but as of today, it\u2019s positively seething.\nBut, but, I have a very good justification why I spent so much this week. One thing is the Cebu vacation\u2026and another\u2026well, are books. :P It didn\u2019t spend as much as if I buy a Branson Missouri vacation, anyway. That is a perfectly justifiable expense even if I know I have about what, 70 books that I have yet to read.\nYeah, yeah, like that means something.\nSo yeah, I\u2019m doing an In My Mailbox post this week because I find that I have a pretty huge stash of books this week! Well, including Friday last week, since I kind of count that purchase as part of the weekend purchase, and it feels like I just bought it this week. In My Mailbox is a weekly book meme hosted by Kristi from The Story Siren, where bloggers post about what books received that week, be it via mailbox, library or store.\nAnd here we go. *throws wallet under the bag and ignores it angry screams*\nPosted in: Squee! \\ Tagged: adult fantasy, Charlie Higson, Denise Jaden, Diana Wynne Jones, dystopia, fantasy, Fully Booked, Holly Black, Ilona Andrews, IMM, In My Mailbox, James Dashner, Justine Larbalestier, Kate Daniels, Laurie Halse Anderson, Megan Whalen Turner, Michael Thomas Ford, National Bookstore, Neil Gaiman, Powerbooks, unicorns, urban fantasy, YA, YA-D2, zombies",

My life changed that day I became your mother, in thousands of meaningful ways. I cannot have imagined how life would have been without you in it.\nI\u2019m sure every parent reading this understands how profoundly life changes when they become a parent \u2013 and for the good. The biggest change for me is that I became less selfish. I had to consider that my actions not only affected just me anymore. Of course couples should think like that anyway if they want to have a good relationship \u2013 but it\u2019s a different type of selfless care when it comes to your child.\nToday is another milestone. It was two years ago that we started our journey together as far as this project. We officially launched the Opening Our Eyes blog on Jan. 5, 2010. Five months later we embarked on our travels around the world. We not only completed the journey \u2013 we have completed a film. A film that I hope will inspire others to do whatever small acts \u2013 or large acts \u2013 they can that can make our planet a better place.\nIt seems fitting that at midnight tonight our campaign on IndieGoGo is over \u2013 bringing this blog and project full circle.\nI never would have imagined 25 years ago that we would have experienced such a wonderful and amazing project together. But we did and we will have that connection for an eternity. But to be honest, I value every other little moments in our lives that we\u2019ve spent together just as priceless.\ntags around the world, cultures, daughter, discovery, extraordinary people, inspiration, journey, making a difference, People Making a Difference, Photographer of the Year, recognition, SATW, Travel, traveling abroad, winning\nA week or so ago I left for New Zealand \u2013 a long haul from the US. I was headed to the SATW (Society of American Travel Writers) convention in Wellington. As I boarded the first leg from EWR to LAX, I felt like I was missing something. I kept doing a mental checklist in my mind \u2013 cameras, passport, wallet etc. etc. but something didn\u2019t feel right \u2013 it felt like something was missing. I realized that what was missing was my daughter Erin.\nIt felt odd to be heading to this amazing destination without her. She had been like my right arm on our 99-day journey around the world last summer and I felt oddly alone. I have spent the better part of my life, traveling to all four corners of the globe as a solo act so to suddenly feel alone, after all those years of independent travel was unexpected.\nToday it really hit me, just how profound that experience had been. Not only had it been the ultimate travel experience that I was fortunate enough to have shared with my daughter \u2013 but I realized that it had changed my life in many ways. Perhaps the biggest change in my life had been a change in my attitude \u2013 in more ways than one.\nAn hour ago, I was the recipient of the Bronze award for Travel Photographer of the Year by SATW. I was humbled and very appreciative to be receiving this award. A year ago, I probably would have felt differently. In fact, I may have looked at it with some misgivings to NOT having won the Gold award as opposed to being appreciative of winning the Bronze.\nAfter spending a summer with remarkable people who were doing extraordinary things that were making a positive difference in the world, I have a totally different outlook. One of our subjects Ronni Kahn of Oz Harvest in Sydney, Australia remarked \u201cDon\u2019t do it for the money or for the recognition \u2013 but just do it for the sake of doing.\u201d A simple thought really, but one that comes with deep consequences.\nWe live in a culture in America where we often overlook that life\u2019s real rewards aren\u2019t necessarily in winning, but being content with the journey and the rewards that come with that. It took me a lifetime to figure that out. I know now that beating out someone else for the top prize isn\u2019t what makes me a winner and in fact that someone else doesn\u2019t have to lose in order for me to win. As much as I feel grateful for the recognition from my peers \u2013 my biggest reward was really a journey well traveled.\nOne doesn\u2019t need to leave their country or even their home town to realize a journey well traveled \u2013 they simply just need to live their life the best way they know how and that\u2019s different for each and every one of us.",

        "raw_content": "For Christian traditions that follow the liturgical calendar, today is the first day of Advent.\nIt's a special time of prayer and reflection that prepares us to celebrate Christmas.\nIt's a time when we think a lot about why Jesus came into the world. It's a time when we contemplate our belief that humanity's relationship with God became so broken that God had to come to earth physically and be with us for a time. (Think of your mom yelling, \"Don't make me come down there!\")\nThis concept of \"broken relationship\" has been on my mind a lot lately. It sure does seem like something is broken right now. There's something broken in our country. Something broken in families and among friends.\nThe presidential election demonstrated that so many of us are not on the same page when it comes to values and priorities.\nThe election demonstrated that some of the things that really bother me are not the same things that bother some of the people I love. And, as something of an OCD control freak, this bothers me!\nI'm also troubled by the extent to which I didn't know this chasm existed. I'm troubled by how out of touch I was, not only with millions of other Americans, but out of touch with the true thinking of many of my own family members and friends.\nOn Wednesday, November 9, in my anger, I unfriended and blocked on Facebook anyone I saw cheering the election of Donald Trump. Family members, childhood friends, high school classmates, longtime political allies, people who attended our wedding. If you voted for Trump, I was done with you.\nAnd, then came good Pope Francis and some of the priests with whom I work, reminding me that I need to forgive and listen sincerely \u2014 that I shouldn't oppose the great orange wall-builder by building walls of my own. Ugh.\nAll of which brings us to the video below from Sojourners. It's a bit on the dramatic side for my taste. But, it's good for thought in this season of discontent and on this first Sunday of Advent 2016:",

The castle was originally built by the Dacre family in the thirteenth century and passed into the hands of the Howard family of Castle Howard, through marriage, in the 1560s. Charles Howard was ennobled by Charles II on the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 as the Earl of Carlisle. He amassed an enormous fortune as governor of Jamaica which enabled his grandson, the third Earl, to build Castle Howard. Castle Howard became the main residence of the Earls of Carlisle and in 1844 a fire destroyed most of Naworth Castle. Reconstruction began in the 1850s and this watercolour shows it in its restored state in 1855. George James Howard, the 9th Earl (1843-1911), an amateur artist and patron of the Arts, lived at Naworth and entertained many important artistic figures of the period.\nsigned lower left: Copley Fielding 1845\n25.8 by 36.3cm., 10 by 14 ? inches\nCopley Fielding moved from London to Brighton in 1829 and exhibited a large number of views on the South Downs from then until his death.

        "raw_content": "BR22: Trinity House Buildings\nWhen the Corporation of Trinity House was first formed, its base was at Deptford, but first it moved to Ratcliffe and then, around 1618, it moved to Stepney. But luck was not something that the Corporation could claim for the properties it used as headquarters. In 1660 the Corporation moved to Water Lane and six years later the building was destroyed during the Great Fire of London. Rebuilt in 1667, the building lasted for only 47 years before it too was burnt to the ground. Another property was built on the same piece of ground, but by 1793 it was in such a bad state that it was handed over to the Admiralty who decided the best answer was demolition.\nTrinity House now stands on Tower Hill, a property designed and built in 1793 by one of its own architects, Samuel Wyatt. The exterior of the building clearly shows the character of the Corporation. Puff-cheeked cherubs adorn the facade and hold in their hands anchors, compasses and marine charts. The whole building is constructed from Portland stone with Doric columns and pilasters. There is a very large basement for storage of historical records; the ground floor contains offices whilst the upper floor consists of grand apartments where admission is by invitation only.\nOnce inside, a double staircase of solid Portland stone guides the way to a half landing with a wall decorated with a large oil painting. The staircase then branches left and right and meets on a central landing lined with ornaments, pictures and sculptors. The ceiling of the grand board room was painted in 1796 by the French artist Riguand and depicts the prosperity of England as it combines navigation with commerce.\nTo describe this wonderful ceiling is best started with the British Neptune who is advancing in triumph, surrounded by sea\u00achorses and attended by Tritons. In one hand he holds a trident and on his other arm is the shield of the United Kingdom. The regal march is protected by cannons and other items of war with unusual angels hovering around waving the Union Jack. On the other side of the ceiling Britannia sits on a rock receiving produce from many nations. Sea nymphs seem to be struggling under the weight of their presents as they approach the seated Britannia. There are also seamen laying out the fruits of commerce on the shores of England. To complete this extraordinary scene, children wave lit torches to represent the lights that encircle the English coastline.\nCommerce and humanitarian scenes, and the display of Neptune alongside Britannia, would seem correct, but depiction of cannons and other items of war might be considered out of place in a House founded for the well-being of seamen.\nAs the blitz of London increased in intensity during the Second World War, historical records, documents and irreplaceable paintings were packed into protective crates. These crates were due for transportation to a safe location on the lst January 1941, but, once more, luck was not on the side of the Corporation because, on the night of the 29th December 1940, the Headquarters at Tower Hill received a direct hit from an incendiary bomb which destroyed nearly all of these treasures. When the war was over, Sir Albert Richardson, architect for the Corporation, was commissioned to restore the burnt-out Headquarters to its former glory. This work was completed in 1953 and officially re-opened by Queen Elizabeth II.\nThere is a slim ray of hope that some long forgotten records may still survive. Many of the records and Charters were ordered to be handed over to the Government of Oliver Cromwell in 1650-1 and have never been returned. Pessimists say that it is doubtful that these documents still exist as they were in the House of Commons vaults when the building was burnt down in 1834. Through the years of political turmoil, fires and bombing it is a sad fact that a very important part of the British lighthouse heritage has been lost, but perhaps, someday, someone will find some hidden boxes in the House of Commons which will bring to light more of this wonderful history of Trinity House.\nThis site is for information purposes only and does not record any personal information.",

No one likes to think of starting their life over again, facing financial upheavals, and hurting their own children, but these situations are all looming when you think of divorce. Unless there are very extenuating circumstances, such as spousal abuse, mental illness, or numerous infidelities, there may be a way to revive your ailing marriage and stop divorce. That would be to connect with an online marriage coach who will be able to show you the road back to marital health using proven techniques.\nStop and think about all the things that a divorce will do to change your life. You may have to move to a new residence. That involves paying deposits and moving expenses and maybe storage fees when everything you own won't fit into your new place. You will likely have shared custody of your children which will mean you're only involved in their lives part of the time. You will also have to deal with your ex-spouse remarrying and providing a stepparent for your children. Are you really going to want to have your kids raised by strangers who may or may not even like them?\nYour finances may end up in disarray. You may or may not be given enough child support to keep living your life, but it could be less than you need, or your ex may not even pay you regularly, so you can't count on it. You will assume the full responsibility for the children as far as arranging child care while you're working, figuring out how to get them to school and back, taking care of them when they're sick, and driving them back and forth to various activities. Even with only partial custody, a lot of extra burden will still fall on your shoulders.\nThen there's the dating scene. It's been a long time since you dated, and when you do so, you may discover that your ex, problems and all, was better than anyone else you can find while you worry about being alone the rest of your life. How much simpler it could be to work with a marriage coach in order to repair your marriage and continue on through life with your partner! So, think about it long and hard before taking the plunge, and you may be able to stop divorce before it happens.\nFamily Mind",

The 2nd combat team consisted mainly of mariners who had been trained in America.\nIn July 1943 the Brigade(under command of Lieutenant Colonel A.C. de Ruyter van Steveninck) was assigned to the XXIst Army Group (under the command of General Montgomery).\nThen they were trained together with British units and assigned to the coastal defence in the neighbourhood of Harwich.\nOn august 6, 1944 the Brigade embarked and on August 7 and 8 it disembarked in Normandy, where it was assigned to the 6th Airborne division east of the Orne; on August 12 it took up a frontline position.\nFrom August 17-31 the Brigade took part in the advance towards the Seine and on August 26 it was the first unit to occupy Pont Audemer.\nWhile the Brigade was at first assigned to the 1st Canadian Army during the advance across the Seine, it was transferred to the 2nd British Army on September 5. After rapid marches via Brussels the Albert Canal near Beringen was reached, where the Brigade took an active part in the combat.\nDuring the operation Market Garden, which was started on September 17, the Brigade was transferred to Grave on September 20 and 21; in the neighbourhood of this town it carried out guard and reconnaissance duties until October 17. At this late day the Brigade was transferred to the Wilhemina Canal south of Oirschot and assigned to the 51st Division. It took part in the operations during which the Germans were explelled from central- and western North Brabant. On October 25 and 26 an attack position opposite Broekhoven was taken after prolonged fights for the attack of Tilburg.\nAfter the fall of Tilburg the brigade was transferred successively to the neighbourhood of Weelde, Rijen and Raamsdonk. Then from November 5 - 11 it was charged with the guarding of the Maas in the neighbourhood of Waalwijk, On November 9 the commander of the Brigade was promoted to the rank of Colonel.\nAfter the Brigade had moved to Wuustwezel in Belgium on November 11, it was transferred to Zeeland where guard duties were carried out during the whole winter, especially in Noord-Beveland and Walcheren. During this period the Brigade was assigned respectively to the 52nd British Division up to the end of November, to the 4th British Commando Brigade until March 23, 1945, and to the \u201cNetherlands District\u201d.\nIn March 1945 Her Majesty the Queen visited Walcheren and the Irene Brigade.\nThe mariners contingent was re-assigned and left on March 31. This resulted in a reorganisation that implied the disbandment of the reconnaissance unit.\nBetween April 10 and 14, 1945, when the allied advance in the eastern Netherlands and Germany was in full process, the Brigade was released by a Battalion of the Belgian Brigade and transferred to the Maas district Heusden - Hedel.\nThe Brigade was assigned to the British 116th Mariners Brigade and captured a bridgehead in Hedel on April 23 for the advance in the Bommelerwaard. It managed to hold the bridgehead in spite of heavy German attacks; however, when relative orders were received the Brigade withdrew to the south of the Maas because the advance could not be effected.\nOn May 4 the 116th Brigade was released by the 308th Infantry Brigade. After the capitulation of the Germans on May 5 the Irene Brigade was transferred to Wageningen on May 6, while on May 8 it left for the Hague where they entered as the first allied unit.\nBy the end of 1945 the Irene Brigade was disbanded and on April 15, 1946, the Prinses Irene Regiment (later on Guards Regiment) was established, which still continues the traditions of the Brigade.",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Blessed John Paul II is one step closer to being declared a saint in October 2013\nIs this the start of the Soho Masses Pastoral Council taking over the 18:15 pm Farm Street Masses? \u00bb\nAs an anti-life act contraception is the beginning of the abortion culture \u2013 Cardinal Raymond Burke\nCardinal Raymond Burke, the Prefect of the Holy See\u2019s \u2018Supreme Court\u2019, has given a frank interview with the Catholic News Service in which he links the acceptance and use of contraception with the ubiquitous abortion culture that has murdered worldwide 1.7 billion babies since the 1970\u2032s. (This appalling statistic of the Silent Holocaust does not include the incalculable billions killed by abortifacient contraceptive pills and devices.)\nCardinal Burke said:\n\u2018Contraception is the beginning of the anti-life movement. It certainly will favor an abortion culture. It takes the nature of the sexual union and violates it in a very significant way by removing the pro-creative aspect which is inherent to the union of man and a woman, the sexual union, the conjugal union.\u2019\nThe contention is that this act still retains all of its goodness because it is a unitive act. It\u2019s not because the act itself has been so disrupted and violated.\nThey\u2019re sexually united but they\u2019re not giving themselves completely and totally to one another which is the whole meaning of sexual union. Because either one or both are eliminating the natural procreativity of the act.\n\u201cThe truth of the matter is that many forms of contraception are in fact abortifacient they destroy human life at its very beginning so we may not be talking about a different reality.\u201d\nProtect the Pope comment: There is either a great deal of ignorance about contraception among Catholics or a great deal of evil. How many Catholic women know that many of the contraceptive pills being prescribed by GPs are abortificient? If they don\u2019t know then responsibility for this tragic ignorance is down to the Pastors of the Church and Catholic schools because we can\u2019t rely on secular GPs to tell the full truth about the nature of the contraceptive pill. If Catholic women do know that the pill they are taking is abortifacient then the act of taking such contraceptive pills is an evil act. (The degree to which it is sinful depends on their freedom to act, and their knowledge, among other things).\nFailing to teach Humanae Vitae and Evangelium Vitae from the pulpits and Catholic media isn\u2019t being pastoral, and it definitely isn\u2019t showing Jesus\u2019s love. Heresy isn\u2019t a matter of different opinions, heresy kills, and in this case, it kills innocent babies.The failure of so many bishops, priests and deacons, to teach and preach Humanae Vitae and Evangelium Vitae has contributed to this Catholic collusion in creating this blood-soaked abortion culture. Catholic women should be outraged at this failure of sections of the Church to give them the full knowledge they need to reject abortificient contraceptive pills. How many innocent babies have been killed because Catholic mothers taking the pill didn\u2019t know that the human pesticide they have been taking stopped implantation?\nhttp://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-cardinal-contraception-is-fundamentally-an-anti-life-act\n11 comments to As an anti-life act contraception is the beginning of the abortion culture \u2013 Cardinal Raymond Burke\nHow many Catholic women know that many of the contraceptive pills being prescribed by GPs are abortificient?\nNelson, Anita L.; Cwiak, Carrie (2011). \u201cCombined oral contraceptives (COCs)\u201d. In Hatcher, Robert A.; Trussell, James; Nelson, Anita L.; Cates, Willard Jr.; Kowal, Deborah; Policar, Michael S. (eds.). Contraceptive technology (20th revised ed.). New York: Ardent Media. pp. 249\u2013341. ISBN 978-1-59708-004-0. ISSN 0091-9721. OCLC 781956734. pp. 257\u2013258:\nCOCs prevent fertilization and, therefore, qualify as contraceptives. There is no significant evidence that they work after fertilization. The progestins in all COCs provide most of the contraceptive effect by suppressing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus, although the estrogens also make a small contribution to ovulation suppression. Cycle control is enhanced by the estrogen.\nBecause COCs so effectively suppress ovulation and block ascent of sperm into the upper genital tract, the potential impact on endometrial receptivity to implantation is almost academic. When the two primary mechanisms fail, the fact that pregnancy occurs despite the endometrial changes demonstrates that those endometrial changes do not significantly contribute to the pill\u2019s mechanism of action.\nAlso, how many doctors or other medical practitioners tell women about the health problems that have been linked to contraceptive and the abortifacient qualities?\n@Tim: I believe that these drugs are marketed as having an abortifacient effect as a back-up mechanism. There seem to be ample references to this effect on the web. I think the author is mistaken in claiming that because \u201cpregnancy occurs despite the endometrial changes\u2026\u201d etc. Surely it would have been more accurate to say \u201cpregnancy *sometimes* occurs\u201d, which is a more reasonable and a less strong assertion and which does not support her claim.\nI think you are confusing \u201cthe Pill\u201d with the \u201cmorning after pill\u201d which does have an abortifacient back up mechanism.\nI have read the science but i am hopelessly out of my depth so a number of years ago I checked this out with a pharmacologist (not a pharmacist) so things may have changed.\nAfter her research, she was of the opinion that the pill does at times act as an abortificient. Since that time when discussing with newly weds i have always said that the pill should not be used as a contraceptive.\nHowever the contraceptive pill is also used, as i understand for some medical conditions. If that is the case my advice was the couple should use barrier contraception otherwise an abortion could unintentionally occur. Of course the couple could abstain from intercourse, but that is unrealistic and unhealthy in my opinion. But i am not an expert in this area!\nI was watching \u2018The Big Questions,\u2019 where it was actually being discussed that maybe there should be rationed health care in the NHS for elderly people. If anybody thinks an anti life culture only effects babies in the womb, you may be in for a shock, because the consequences of anti life culture that doesn\u2019t respect life from conception to natural death, may come around in someway to get you as an adult. When people think that life is expendable, whether its through contraception, abortion or, assisted dying, life can be then seen as being expendable for everybody.\nIt\u2019s time for our priests to start preaching this from the pulpits. The conscience of Catholics need to be refined and resensitised again.\nAnd as someone once said\u2026.Contraception is the first line of defence against the Child. Abortion is the second.\nI think the most recent survey of priests in England and Wales detailed 60% of priests were against church teaching on contraception and a further 15% unsure. My personal opinion is that barrier methods of family planning are morally neutral, whilst the contraceptive pill can be an abortifacient and is morally unacceptable.\nI do agree that there is a certain ignorance how the contraceptive pill works amongst the clergy.\nI do not believe that, no way. Can you link to the poll?\nIt was not a poll but a survey of priests, both regular and secular, by Msgr. Stephen Louden and Leslie Francis. The survey can be found in \u2018The Naked Parish Priest\u2019. The survey has flaws, which the authors articulate very well in their introduction, however as far as I am aware it is the largest survey of its kind in the UK. The main problem with the survey is that it is self selecting and many priests refused to participate because it wasn\u2019t sanctioned by the bishops. I remember it causing a real fuss at the time. i think about 45% of priests who received the survey returned it to the researchers.\nThe statistics show that most of our priests are theologically orthodox but when it comes to issues such as contraception, and marriage, divorce and sacraments our clergy either disagree with church teaching (a majority of those polled wanted to admit divorced and remarried Catholics to Holy Communion) or turn a blind eye to people living in irregular relationships.\nI have the book in front of me \u2013 it was essential reading at the time, late 1990\u2032s, and researched attitudes to celibacy, laity, church structures, emotional exhaustion, training for the priesthood, marriage,sex, death.\nI would agree that many cathlics are ignorant of what contraceptinve pills, depot injections, implants and the coil does. When raising the issue at marriage preparation courses it is clear that the majority have no idea. The clergy, the laity, parents and teachers need to be educating our young people about this. Whilst I agree that the clergy has a big role in this education it also needs to be taken on board by catholic parents and catechists also have a fundamental role.",

I think it is one of the most magnificent houses in Saginaw. You can see more pic of it on their facebook page HERE.\nThe Wolfarth Bakery on Genesee before it was razed in 1961\nThe house was the home of Frank J. Wolfarth who owned and operated the Wolfarth Steam Bakery. The bakery was started by his father John G. Walfarth in 1867 after moving to Saginaw. He started with a small bakery in downtown Saginaw. He moved the bakery to what was the edge of town near Hoyt and Genesee in 1870 after a flood. Shortly after his mother died in 1893 Frank J Wolfarth took over the day to day operations of the Wolfarth Sanitary Steam Bakery making over 10,000 loaves of bread a day. Frank J. passed away in 1934 leaving his daughter Leona to run the business but after 2 years she sold the bakery to a large company in Detroit. They ran the bakery for about a year before going bankrupt. The building was torn down to make room for a gas station in 1961. Thank you to Kevin Rooker for helping me with photos for this post.\nP.S. I got to wondering what a steam bakery is and here is the definition I found:\nSteam baking in commercial baking an even temperature is maintained in the oven by means of closed pipes through which steam circulates. This is sometimes erroneously taken to mean that the bread is baked in live steam.

        "title": "QLRS - Essays : Uncertainty and Scepticism in Arthur Yap | Vol. 1 No. 4 Jul 2002",
        "raw_content": "A two-part essay\nArthur Yap (born 1943) has published four collections of poetry: Only Lines (1971); Commonplace (1977); down the line (1980); and Man Snake Apple (1986). He is one of several poets whose poems are represented in 5 Takes (1974) and in Seven Poets (1973). Since then, there have been no more volumes of poetry, but selected poems from these collections have been put together, although without any new poems included, in the space of city trees (2000). He has published a handful of new poems in the Books section of the Straits Times Life!, and two recent poems \u2013 \"Fair Youth\" and \"On Offal\" \u2013 on QLRS in October 2001.\nWhere is Yap now in the collective consciousness of contemporary readers and writers of poetry? What impressions have his poetry left upon them? Are these impressions ultimately accurate, or simply one-sided and misconceived? Is Yap still relevant today, or does his poetry extend beyond time and social context? I would want to argue in this essay that there has been general misunderstanding of Yap's poetic agenda and his themes, shaped and encouraged possibly by socio-political factors.\nIn writing about Singapore poetry, John Kwan-Terry has named Edwin Thumboo, Arthur Yap, and Lee Tzu Pheng as having \"built a tradition where none existed before and a poetry that has come to possess a sense of poise and confidence.\" This refers to the period from the 1950s to 1970s, when Singapore faced new uncertainties; it had only just been separated from Malaysia to become an independent state in 1965, after almost one hundred and fifty years of British colonialism. The poets reacted to these uncertainties. As Chua Beng Huat and Eddie Kuo have put it, \"Singapore as an independent nation-state was first and foremost a political reality foisted on a population, in 1965, under conditions beyond the latter's control.\" This is a reality which Thumboo clearly expresses enthusiasm for, as demonstrated in his poems of the 1970s. These poems possess a hopeful certainty of commitment towards the successful construction of Singapore's identity as a nation.\nOther poets like Lee Tzu Pheng and Yap have been described as avoiding the more overtly nationalistic tendencies evident in Thumboo's work, and as possessing more of a \"private sensibility\" (Kirpal Singh in his introduction to Interlogue 1999). However, it can be argued that these poets construct an imagined community called Singapore. Their work too respond to the socio-cultural uncertainties of their time, the forces of nation-building, and the impact these forces have upon their society. In an interview with Kevin Sullivan, Yap is asked if he is in sympathy with Thumboo's opinion that \"the writer must explain his society, bring into focus the forces, whether healthy or pernicious, which move society.\" Yap's answer is \"No,\" although it can be argued that such poems as \"2 mothers in a h d b playground\" (1980) and \"old house at ang siang hill\" (1971) clearly reveal an active engagement with his social environment. I will analyse such poems in greater detail to show how these poems do not just offer scope for interpretation as forms of social satire and criticism, but evince an overall sense of ambivalence and uncertainty in relation to their social themes which discourages such a simplified approach to interpretation.\nIn the same interview with Sullivan, Yap also said, \"I'm not a person who wants to write poems with a political basis or a social basis... if that is really what I want to do then I would rather be a politician or a social worker, or whatever it is.\" This is in contrast to Thumboo's own opinion on the writing of poetry in relation to the social context it is written in, as when he writes, \"The role of the writer in society should be a central issue.\" Yap seems to be expressing views that emanate from a temperament that is not comfortable or convinced by the call for poets to take a public role on issues such as nation building. This is something that Thumboo apparently finds suited to his temperament. Yet, a solid case can be made for the claim that the great majority of poems in Yap's oeuvre does confront discourses that shape the societal context in which he is situated. But Yap ultimately promotes a position of uncertainty and scepticism in relation to these social issues, in which often contradictory attitudes toward such issues are juxtaposed and left without one winning out over the other. Instead, Yap seems to encourage dwelling within this ambivalence, and to leave alone the tension between opposing attitudes.\nThis may be demonstrated in poems like \"old house at ang siang hill.\" The poem ends with the lines: \"nothing much will be missed / eyes not tradition tell you this,\" which contain a possible criticism of the failure to recognise the value of the past in a current Singaporean context in which greater priority is given to the promotion of economic discourses and the effects of urban renewal. In this poem, Yap casts doubt over the certainties inherent in policies of urban renewal and industrialisation, by suggesting a new sense of the importance of alternative narratives about the sense of a collective or communal past otherwise ignored by the discourses of urban renewal. These discourses suggest certainty in the way they are promoted as compulsory, unproblematic measures to turn Singapore into a urban centre in order for this country to succeed economically as an independent nation. It is a certainty taken for granted that alternative narratives of the past may be eradicated without any consequence or sense of loss for the urban context of the present. The poem, however, does not deal with how there may always and inevitably be several accounts of the past in contention for public recognition. The poem alludes rather ambiguously to a collective narrative of \"tradition.\" There may subsist a kind of muted acceptance of the loss of this ambiguous notion of the past. The ending provides space for ambivalence in the way it is possible to take the lines in several, and not always mutually compatible, ways.\nFor example, the line may suggest that there is indeed nothing worth missing with regard to the old house and its metonymic allusions to the past. The line hovers over the possibility that it ventriloquises \u2013 with or without irony \u2013 the opposite view, which accepts and, maybe, even endorses the logic of urban renewal, which sees no reason for mourning over a past that is being renovated. It may also be said that the speaker is ventriloquising a point of view ideologically inculcated by the state to perceive the loss of the past as unimportant in the necessary light of urban development. The ambivalence suggests that the poem may or may not contain a sardonic sense of irony and covert dissent aimed exactly at this conditioned-mentality of indifference to \"tradition.\" It is made deliberately unclear whether the reader should read the last few lines of the poem as ironic or not. In its ambivalence and understatement, it is possible for the reader to project that specific nuance into the implied meaning of the poem. But the overall sense of the speaker's attitude is still uncertain because of this ambivalence, inviting the reader to have potentially contradictory interpretations of the poem at one and the same time, in the same way that the speaker is himself uncertain in his opinion about the renewal of the past. Yap adopts a position that stands between reproving the processes of urban renewal on one hand and accepting these processes as a pragmatic necessity on the other. In choosing both or neither attitudes, the reader is encouraged to enter the same ambivalent space as Yap.\nPoems like \"grammar of a dinner\" (1980) illustrate Yap's frequent play with language. In others like \"paraphrase\" (1986), he makes a more profound point about the nature of language as a system of knowing, showing up the more unpredictable facets of language and playing up its propensities for uncertainty and ambivalence. Yap uses language with an overt self-consciousness which already figures in the systematic use of lower case, and in his frequent play with grammatical structures in many of his poems. \"grammar of a dinner\", for instance, with lines like \"let's have john for chicken for dinner,\" playfully demonstrates the possible \"substitution of parts of speech, the manipulation of syntax and grammar\" (Robert Yeo in Interlogue 1999), which hint at the possible uncertainties of language.\nJacques Derrida has opened up an aspect of undecidability in the origins of meaning in language, in the way final meanings can never be secured as a result of the ability of a linguistic sign to break free from any given context. In a poem like \"words\" (1980), Yap opens up a fundamental uncertainty in a similar way to how Derrida counters the conventional assumption that language is capable of producing complete, certain meanings. In this poem, when Yap refers to how \"we have a way of stilling words,\" the poem portrays this stillness as an uncertain and vulnerable state. The act of \"stilling words\" is akin to the way in which people insist that words bear complete and unambiguous meanings in any given context. Derrida has shown that words are to an indeterminable degree uncertain and vulnerable in the way they can break with every given context. The contrast between the penultimate line in the poem and the final, longer line emphasises this fragility of the stillness referred to repeatedly in the poem, hinting at the likelihood that such a stillness may be disrupted, with the implication that this inclination for disruption is that which also allows for the possibility of stillness. Also, \"minute\" in the last line hints at a unit of time which is brief and temporary, in the same way that the state of stillness is also brief and temporary. Besides hinting at our limited capacity to \"still\" words, Yap openly hesitates, then changes his mind in the poem when he writes, \"& then, no, we have a way...,\" clearly revealing and promoting his own uncertainty and scepticism about ever knowing the extent to which we may still words, and the extent to which words are actually capable of \"stilling themselves.\"\nThe propensity to repeat in everyday life is a theme which occurs in \"they are days\" (1980). Here are the first few lines:\ndays are variable,\neach day has what each day has.\nthat, which others haven't,\nis best...\nIn this poem, two types of repeatability are evoked. At one level, there is the sense of repeatability in the way \"each day has what each day has,\" suggesting there are aspects of each day that recur predictably. The poem also suggests that what is \"best\" about each day is really the element which differentiates each day from the others. This points to the assumption that for every single day to be repeated exactly as the one that came before would be intolerable, and that what is bearable about each day is the fact of its difference from other days. In other words, we require difference in the repetition of each day.\nA second type of repeatability comes into play when the poet describes this variability which distinguishes one day from the next as itself \"a constant\" and a kind of repetition. The immanent inclination to repeat which Freud had posited may be demonstrated in the poem where the variability as well as similarity of each day are both portrayed as forming different levels of repetition. However, the variability of each day as one kind of repetition stands in ironic contradiction or tension in relation to the other kind of repeatability implied by the resemblance of one day to another. What is welcome of each day is its capacity for variation, which is ironically depicted by the poem as a kind of repetition in itself. This results in a tension between the two incongruous forms of repetition which the poet refrains from resolving within the poem. Instead, the poet encourages a pluralistic point of view which accepts the viability of each form of repeatability, even if one might suppose that in ordinary terms most of us would be inclined to find it difficult to support both at the same time, as the poem manages to do.\nSo far, I have tried to show that Yap's poems reveal a complex interaction between the self and its environment (cultural, physical, political, social, linguistic etc.) which hovers between a conscious and an involuntary response across an entire spectrum of implied or explicit attitudes ranging from uncertainty, through ambivalence and ambiguity, to scepticism and resistance.\nNow, I want todiscuss the significance of Yap's poetry on the contemporary writing scene in Singapore. To begin with, let us look at specific generalizations, such as Thumboo as social poet, Yap as private, eccentric, and difficult poet. Contrary to popular belief, Thumboo may actually be seen as more of a private poet rather than a social one. As Rajeev Patke has noted in Interlogue, \"it is possible to argue that there are far more poems commemorating personal friendships in Thumboo's oeuvre than utterances of the kind that get inscribed on public monuments.\" This runs counter to the frequent notion of Thumboo's poetry as more committed to a political standpoint and exclusively committed to the evocation of a coherent, national identity. Also, Yap's oeuvre reveals a greater preponderance of poems with social themes. On account of this, it may be argued that Yap is not the private poet that everyone claims he is, despite his eschewing the nationalistic rhetoric and didacticism evident in Thumboo's poems.\nThe poems by Yap best known in Singapore are such poems as \"old house at ang siang hill\" (1971) and \"2 mothers in a h d b playground\" (1980) which deal chiefly with specific aspects of society. More importantly, Yap deals with individuals other than the self in such poems. I want to also emphasise that his poems do not actually reveal \"a trenchant critique of our society and its attentiveness to things superficial\" (Kirpal Singh in his introduction to Interlogue 1999). This is because to adopt a social critique would entail a definite point of view regarding such social themes as the effects of urbanisation or materialism in Singapore. Yap offers a conscious or unconscious allowance for different, even contradictory interpretations in his poems that may run counter to the common belief that these poems evince a straightforward agenda to satirise and criticise aspects of society.\nIn \"2 mothers in a h d b playground,\" for instance, the vivid dramatisation of a conversation between mothers, during which they talk about such matters as the spending of money and the intelligence of their children, is not accompanied by overt comments made by the poet to promote a definite point of view concerning the social issues evoked by their conversation. This creates uncertainty about whether the poem implies that the themes of affluence and materialism alluded to by the \"2 mothers\" be read disapprovingly, or whether such a dramatisation may also be read in a possibly celebratory way. I have tried to argue that such ambivalences in Yap's poems may point to a sceptical mode of uncertainty reluctant to deny the viability of either of the conflicting perspectives opened up in the space of the poems. It may be that such ambivalences that have encouraged the perception of Yap as a private and obscure poet uncommitted to confronting social themes unlike Thumboo.\nIn his collections, Yap frequently dramatises situations where the characters are familiarly and characteristically Singaporean. He may write many poems which explore with a sense of play the nature of language, but even in a poem like \"a lesson on the definite article\" (2000), for instance, the poet makes fun of a \"girl with bank-teller's eyes\" and an \"accent\" who is suggestively Singaporean in his portrayal. Other than the obvious social themes in such poems as \"old house at ang siang hill\" (1971) and \"letter from a youth to his prospective employer\" (1977), Yap's poems also evince socially-mimetic elements in terms of the incorporation of Singlish and the ventriloquising of distinctly Singaporean voices. Shirley Lim has also written that \"Yap's experiments with local English offer one route to the construction of a 'national literature'\" in Singapore, hinting at the need for such a literature which could aid in defining the national identity of such a new country. Singh has commented that Yap's use of Singlish may have \"paved the way for a more meaningful acceptance of common parlance.\"\nThe remarks by Lim and Singh suggest that Yap's poetry is significant and important in the local context due to its usages of Singlish, which in turn enhances the indigenous flavour and sense of locality within the variety of English poetry published in Singapore. I would like to suggest that this hints at a possible insecurity within the local literary scene which fears that its literature may not be distinctive enough in relation to the literary output from other countries with a longer history of writing and literature. This is in turn connected to the country's general insecurity about the incipient stage at which its identity is being formed. To aid in the consolidation of such a identity, the establishment of a national literature not only abundant in works by local writers but also distinctively localised in flavour would indeed play a significant role. The role of Singlish as an indigenous variety of English is also given more dignity for being incorporated into a national literature. It is ironic then that a supposedly private and difficult poet such as Yap should be seen as being linked to such a socially-conscious cause of enhancing and affirming the national identity of Singapore.\nYap's poems do not shy away from going down to the micro-level of society when they deal with specific individuals or relationships between individuals. A poem like \"an afternoon nap\" (1977), dramatises the recurrence of a mother scolding and beating her son, who yells back at her. The context is familiarly Singaporean. The poem alludes to \"report-book grades\" and the mother's \"expensive taste for education,\" which reflects the general obsession with obtaining formal qualifications in Singapore. This stems from a societal ethos which places a high value upon a life of hard work towards eventual affluence and the way in which good examination grades may pave the way towards such a life. The poem illustrates the corollary pressures placed on both Singaporean children and their parents as a result of this ethos. Yap hints at broad social themes through the dramatisation of the behaviour or psychology of particular individuals.\nOne simply cannot ignore that Yap is a poet interested in society, as many of such poems point implicitly or explicitly to aspects of the social ideologies or preoccupations prevalent in Singapore society. But, as I have mentioned before, such poems regularly promote the tension between the opposing ways of interpreting their engagements with society. Also, the frequent use of Singlish in his poetry enables him to evoke the social context more convincingly and dramatically in his poems, such that readers of such poems relate more readily to their social allusions and themes. As such, it would seem that he is a poet more engaged with Singaporean society than he has been commonly perceived, regardless of the uncertainties and the ambivalences predominant in his work, and even more significantly and effectively so than Thumboo.\nOn Offal\nArthur Yap resources\nThe Space of City Trees",

Jim, PA, USA.\nBuilt in 1897, the Quinta Escondida is a rare historic country house and orchard that has survived on the edge of Limache town, in central Chile. Access is easy, with or without a car. We are 1hr 40mins from the international airport of Santiago, and also just 45mins from the nearest Pacific Ocean beach at Vina del Mar, reached by road or metro train. The metro station is 10mins walk from the house and also has trains to the UNESCO listed port of Valparaiso (26m/43km). For more access info see here: http://quintaescondida.com/quinta-escondida-chile-vacation-rental/chile-vacation-rental-2/access-options/\nThe fully restored property is renowned for its fruit and something is always in season year round. To get an idea of the amazing variety, go to: http://quintaescondida.com/seasons-activities/seasons-at-the-quinta/autumn/ The park-like gardens are very spacious and contain a swimming pool, play ground, BBQ area, and many shady groves and secluded places to relax, read a book or enjoy a drink in peace.\nThe Quinta Escondida makes a wonderful base for exploring central Chile, and is also an excellent place to relax before and after more strenuous trips to the Atacama Desert or Patagonia. For those needing to improve their fitness prior to hiking the Andes, the nearby national park in the coastal range around La Campana Mountain (6,168ft/1,880m) is ideal: http://quintaescondida.com/seasons-activities/activities/the-mountains/\nThe Mediterranean climate of the Limache Valley has always been famous for its vegetables, but in recent times, it has also become known for its centres of yoga and meditation, dance and music, as well as a major anthroposophical venture based at the local Rudolf Steiner School.\nYour host Natascha Scott-Stokes established herself as a pioneering traveller in 1989, when she became the first woman to travel the length of the Amazon River alone, from its headwaters in the Peruvian Andes to the Atlantic off Brazil. She has spent most of her life travelling the world, but South America is her passion and she is an excellent source of information on all things touristic in Chile. The author of several guidebooks for tourists, you can trust her to know how to make you feel at home, and also to come up with just the right information for your needs.\nNatascha speaks fluent English, German and Spanish and occasionally understands French.

        "raw_content": "Posted by: Ramin on October 7, 2008\nI totally blame my absence from this space on Twitter, for sucking away what little time and energy I have to write things. However, with the removal of the iPhone NDA, I\u2019m going to re-focus on what I\u2019ve been spending most of my working time these days: iPhone app development.\nThat is not to say that I\u2019ll stop posting other meanderings. Just that I need a place (other than mailing lists) to post and where better than, you know, my own damn blog.\nCategories: admin | Permalink\nSorry if the blog\u2019s style keeps switching around. Problem seems to be with the DB and hosting site. It keeps resetting back to the default WordPress style even if I haven\u2019t posted for a while.\nMight just have to give up and leave it there. *sigh*\nThis message popped into my email inbox today:\nA few points worth mentioning:\nThe [SPAM] tag was not added to the subject header by any software on my end. As near as I can tell, it was either put there by the spammer\u2019s own email server, or added manually.\nThe particular inbox to which the message was addressed is protected by a server-side whitelist service (SpamArrest). For the message to get through, somebody has to go to the trouble of explicitly confirming that they\u2019re really a human and put themselves on the approved list. The sender did this.\nThe same message has been sent several times under different email addresses. Every time, I ban the address and a while later it makes its way again with a new sender address (which has to be manually confirmed with SpamArrest, again).\nI feel bad for the \u2018real\u2019 Dr. Lulu Gwagwa of South Africa, who appears to be a most accomplished investment banker.\nFor some reason, the perpetrators of this message are really determined that this message get through and a lack of response (or continuous placement on the ban filter) doesn\u2019t seem to deter them. That they consistently confirm their own address through SpamArrest tells me that they are not exactly high-volume \u2018shotgun\u2019 spam traffickers. Those people rarely provide a working reply address.\nOn the other hand, I have to admit that opening with an apology and the fact that they admit they got the email while doing a \u2018random transaction\u2019 on the Internet shows refreshing candor.\nSadly, I am forced to ban the sender once again, as much as I appreciate the effort.\nDon\u2019t mess with Mom\nFrench author Michel Houellebeck gets slammed hard by, of all people, his own Mother (more here).\nWouldn\u2019t it be funny if she ended up with the Prix Goncourt instead of the acolyte of modern nihilistic French literature? The lesson: don\u2019t put thinly veiled insulting caricatures of your Mom in your writings. She probably has more dirt on you than anyone else.\nOn an unrelated note, I\u2019d like to take this opportunity to wish my mother an early Happy Mother\u2019s Day and tell her what a fantastic, great individual she is\u2026\nJeff Jarvis ponders whether Insurance is impervious to social reinvention. I don\u2019t agree, but I think it\u2019s going to take some pretty big thinking, a major set of cojones, and a fair bit of social engineering.\nA few years ago, I spent a fair amount of time working on a desktop healthcare application, with the idea being to let people take care of their own healthcare needs. After a couple of years of research and development, I ended up mothballing the system after realizing that the only way to get something like that to work was not to tackle a small piece of the process (the user\u2019s health records) but the larger, systemic problem of health insurance. Incidentally, it is for this very same reason that I think half-baked efforts like Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault are doomed to irrelevance.\nNow, I don\u2019t make any claims to being an expert in insurance or healthcare. But I\u2019ve been cursed with a healthy dose of curiosity and a background in designing and building complex systems, which qualifies me to do a lot of standing on top of hills and looking for patterns. It turned out that most of my two years of work on the software was spent studying the healthcare and insurance industry, instead of coding.\nAfter all that time and effort, I finally came to my senses and realized that tackling the healthcare system was just too daunting a task since it required aligning the interests of ALL parties involved in the chain including insurers, doctors, employers, etc. all the way down to the individual. So I mothballed the project and went off to write fiction and start a family. But the problem has always nagged at me. There\u2019s a little voice in my head that keeps saying: There must be a better way.\nMy good friend and business partner Mitch Ratcliffe recently went through some experimental surgery (that thankfully seems to have worked). He\u2019s written about it here and his conclusion was that there is a \u201cneed for a new economics in medical care.\u201d\nI couldn\u2019t agree more. But how do you tackle something as unwieldy as the insurance industry (and its medical offshoot, the healthcare system).\nA hint comes from a comment made by Seth Godin in response to Jeff\u2019s post: you have to think big. The only way to do Insurance 2.0 (including healthcare) is to rethink the whole process, free of all the self-interested legacy cruft that has been built into and around the system.\nYes, now is a good time to get those eyes rolling. Contrary to what some might assume, I\u2019m not one of those technology \u00fcber-alles types. As far as I\u2019m concerned, technology is \u2014 as the kids like to say \u2014 our bitch. Its purpose is to serve us, not the other way round. Nor do I subscribe to the baby/bathwater theory \u2014 that everything is broken and needs to be thrown out.\nBut please, indulge me for a moment.\nThe way risk is currently calculated is primarily static and completely opaque to the consumer. Insurance companies hire an army of actuaries who come up with risk tables for a variety of situations and create complex mathematical systems to help mitigate it. These metrics often take into account some key milestone events in a person\u2019s life (i.e. if you get married, move, change jobs, fall ill, etc.) but do not allow for mitigating circumstances (like the death of a parent) nor do they require any sort of active involvement or participation by the consumer.\nBy and large, you get quoted a rate, you pay your premium without really knowing how or why any of it works. All you know is that if you make a claim, your rates will go up. The insurance company is going to do everything in their power to make it hard for you to pull money out and everything (including hardball legislation) to make it difficult for you to use the benefits. Your interest as a consumer of insurance and that of the insurer are in direct conflict with each other (in computer network parlance, it\u2019s a master-slave relationship.) How your behavior affects others (or theirs yours) doesn\u2019t even enter into it, even though technically you are all in the same risk pool together. It\u2019s as if you live in a silo.\nIt also makes for a complex, top-down system of rules and risk calculations \u2014 most of which are designed to push the risk back down onto the insured and the money up toward the insurer. And the whole edifice comes tumbling down when you get large systemic catastrophes, like floods, wars, or epidemics.\nSince we\u2019re complaining about the system, what else is wrong with it? Plenty. The underwriting rules are almost never disclosed completely (not that too many people would care) and any attempts at making a claim is often met with a flurry of complex paperwork designed to slow the process down, to dissuade the (busy) consumer from ever again wanting to make a claim again. As Jeff calls it, it\u2019s a sucker\u2019s bet \u2014 in more ways than one.\nSo what\u2019s the solution? More government regulation? Applying the Web 2.0 salve? Actually\u2026 neither.\nTo get a better picture, we have to engage in my favorite activity of zooming up into birds-eye range and looking at the whole system. The insurance system (if it can be called that) is a series of complex, interlocking, top-down subsystems, with various balkanized pools of information, and players whose interest (and power) is served by keeping a chokehold on that information. By design, it\u2019s complex and anyone who gets too close to it will inevitably get swamped with information overload and quickly back off. Those who don\u2019t (like a certain former First Lady) will likely get singed in the political heat (and maybe start imagining incoming sniper fire \ud83d\ude09\nThe alternative to a complex centralized system is often a simple, decentralized system that applies rules recursively. Think P2P, fractals, or human cellular biology.\nThe Web 2.0 version of insurance (again, including healthcare) would have to start with a simple, easy to understand mechanism that anyone can use to assess the risks and the costs. It would have to be dynamic, transparent, and let you know exactly where you stand so you can make informed life decisions. It would have to take into account every other participant in the risk pool and encourage open communication. It should be understandable by anyone, and when applied collectively, provide the best answer to global risk mitigation.\nIn other words, it will have to be open and transparent. Yes, it sounds impossible, but the alternative is to replace one complex system of knobs and levers with another one. I am convinced that the solution is in simple, recursive, self-organizing systems. I have some ideas as to how this could work, but this is the sort of thing best tackled (and vetted) by a group of interested individuals dedicated to the art of simplification.\nThere\u2019s another thing to consider: as commenter Uncle Fester says in response to Jeff\u2019s post, there are HUGE regulatory and financial barriers to creating new insurance mechanisms.\nFirst, instead of calling it insurance let\u2019s call it something completely different (Lifecare, for example). This is not just semantic sleight-of-hand. The term \u2018insurance\u2019 comes with a lot of baggage which can get one bogged down in regulation and litigation for a lifetime. Second, to make it work so it becomes something that can be trusted (that it\u2019ll be there in times of need) and get large-scale adoption, it\u2019ll have to align the interests of all beneficiaries \u2014 in this case, individuals, businesses, government regulators, AND \u2026 (wait for it) insurance companies (!!!)\nHow can this work? Why would any insurance company want to participate in a competitive scheme that threatens their core business?\nThe problem is that the whole insurance edifice (including healthcare and pension plans) is a Ponzi scheme. As long as there is new, low-risk money coming into the system, the high-risk ones can be covered. The difference, however, is that investors don\u2019t really cash out \u2014 they die, or move their business elsewhere, so they have to never be paid off. Most people don\u2019t need healthcare when they\u2019re young and spend most of their lives accident-free. The majority of the time, they automatically pay into the plan. The earlier they die (or get kicked out of the risk pool) without using expensive resources, the better off the scheme will be, having taken all the premiums and paid out relatively little of it.\nThe way to bootstrap a new Insurance 2.0 is to start by taking the highest risk policies off the hands of current insurers (along with a decent amount of cash for doing them the favor) and bootstrapping a distributed risk management system into place.\nBy taking these groups and putting them into a social/distributed scheme, you get to battle-test the system and make sure all the rules are fairly applied. Sure, there will be initial falterings. But over time, a self-regulating system will develop the right mix of complexity vs. fairness and provide a more balanced mechanism than what we have today.\nThis is the alignment of interests I earlier referred to: insurance companies (with bad bets on their books), corporations (with increasing healthcare and pension costs), government agencies (who may get saddled with the costs as an insurer of last resort), and the individuals themselves (faced with no coverage) will all be interested in seeing this experiment work.\nIt will require a large pool of startup capital and easing of regulations, but if it works, it could revolutionize the way liability insurance, healthcare, and pension plans operate.\nAs Seth Godin says: Think Bigger, Jeff!\nBut start by thinking small (and recursive).",

        "raw_content": "Special Report on MIPCOM\u2019s Most Wanted: Welcome to Mike\u2019s World \u2013 Michael Moore takes another jab at TV.\nProject: Michael Moore's World...\nProject: Michael Moore\u2019s World\nDescription: The BBC and Michael Moore are looking to build on the critical success of TV Nation with a new international series, Michael Moore\u2019s World, set to begin production early next year.\nExecutive producers: Michael Moore, Dog Eat Dog Films; David Mortimer, BBC\nDistributor: Mayfair Television Entertainment\nInternationally recognized champion of the over-looked, Michael Moore has been developing a new show called Michael Moore\u2019s World, hoping to build on the success of his much-covered and critically acclaimed TV Nation.\nThe new series is being represented by Mayfair Television Entertainment, who came across it just as they were looking to delve further into non-fiction programming. \u2018Having launched the company very much off the strength of our drama programming, we decided we wanted to branch off into the factual market, trying to build a library that would both travel, and be of high entertainment value,\u2019 says Alison Rayson, director of tv sales and programming at Mayfair. She explains that Mayfair had always been a fan of TV Nation and so, with the international launch of the series bringing a growing awareness of Moore\u2019s personae, they set to work to piecing together international coproduction and financing.\nSince the Michael Moore brand carries substantial weight, Mayfair has been able to be selective about which broadcasters will be involved at the production level. \u2018Countries have been targeted for coproduction if they have a background that will lend itself to Michael\u2019s treatment,\u2019 says Rayson. \u2018The idea is very much to replicate the ilk of eccentric features of TV Nation, but make the focus more international.\u2019\nMichael Moore\u2019s World contains a global awareness which has appealed to broadcasters in Australia, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and South Africa. This year\u2019s MIPCOM will decide who comes on board, and thus where the series will be produced and broadcast.\nGetting the right broadcasters is a complicated task; Michael Moore\u2019s World will be more expensive to produce than TV Nation because of the wider scope of its coverage. As a result, the BBC is going to have to come up with partners whose involvement will top the us$350,000 per episode that fox was reportedly putting in for TV Nation. Financial considerations aside, Moore\u2019s approach to storytelling might appeal to audiences, but it hasn\u2019t always endeared him to broadcasters.\n1994: Moore pitches the initial pilot for TV Nation to NBC, which doesn\u2019t show immediate interest. Michael Jackson, controller of the BBC at the time, hears about the pilot and obtains a copy. Once the BBC agrees to come up with 40% of the budget, nbc commits. A six-show season is produced \u2013 the result of an association between the BBC, Dog Eat Dog Films (Moore\u2019s company) and Columbia Tristar International Television, with whom Moore has an exclusive tv agreement.\n\u2018The enthusiasm for TV Nation in the U.K. was immediate and very gratifying,\u2019 says David Mortimer, executive producer on the series. \u2018There was clearly a buzz about it.\u2019 The buzz is loud enough that U.S. broadcaster fox agrees to give the series a long-term home. Moore and Columbia Tristar decide to make the switch from NBC.\n1995 Summer: A second season of eight episodes runs on the BBC and FOX, with audience reaction even more impressive than in the first season. Three million viewers watch the show on BBC2, a substantial audience for the time slot. In some instances, U.K. audiences see a slightly different line-up than their U.S. counterparts. \u2018There were a number of stories which aired in the U.K. which couldn\u2019t air in the U.S.,\u2019 says Mortimer, \u2018because of the sensibilities of the U.S. networks.\u2019\nTV Nation is a critical success in both countries, but not necessarily commercially. The series appeals more to the BBC, which doesn\u2019t rely on advertising for survival, than fox. \u2018It was clear at the end of the second season that the BBC wanted more from Michael. We wanted him to think of us as his natural home in the U.K. We would have been happy with more TV Nations. At that point, however, fox made it clear that they didn\u2019t want any more.\u2019\nFall 1995: Moore, the BBC and Columbia Tristar enter discussions on how to proceed with the next project.\nEarly 1996: Moore has other immediate obligations \u2013 namely the book tour for Downsize This \u2013 and has to put the project on the back burner.\nWhile on tour, hitting 49 cities in 50 days, he films a feature doc looking at the U.S. at the start of the 1996 presidential campaign. But as Columbia Tristar has no interest in a theatrical release, the production becomes the exclusive property of the BBC.\nThe US$1 million doc film becomes The Big One, Moore\u2019s first feature since Roger and Me.\nOctober 1996: Meanwhile, talks for a new tv series have continued. The bbc/Columbia Tristar/Moore group goes to mipcom in 1996 to test market reaction to the series, now named Michael Moore\u2019s World, and finds a favorable response in Canada, Australia and in Europe.\nApril 1997 The Big One premieres on the BBC.\nSeptember 1997: Moore and the BBC bring the tv series back to mipcom. \u2018At this point we\u2019re confirming who the coproducers may be, so that we can be in a position to potentially go into production at the beginning of 1998,\u2019 says Mortimer.\n\u2018It\u2019s a huge project because of the nature of what Michael does. It necessitates a large commitment in terms of budget, but also in terms of belief. It\u2019s been important to have detailed discussions with potential producers or broadcasters around the world so that they realize the bbc\u2019s commitment to Michael and the type of series they\u2019re buying into.\u2019\nMortimer is especially cautious when it comes to U.S. broadcasters. \u2018In many ways, I would think the easiest thing would be to produce the show and then look for an American buyer, because at that stage the broadcaster knows exactly what they\u2019re getting into.\u2019\n1998: Delivery is planned for the fall. The BBC will be the major source of funding for the series, with rights still subject to negotiations with Columbia Tristar.\n-Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do?

        "raw_content": "All the television fit to print\nNational Geographic got it right as early as 1965. While even recent print-to-tv ventures have faltered because they were too literal, Nat Geo wisely sought to expand its general brand mission - not the magazine's format, columns or features - to the then-emerging platform. Americans on Everest, the first National Geographic tv special, aired on cbs and delivered on the magazine's tradition of breathtaking images and out-of-this-world stories. 'Those were and are two great assets of the magazine that lend themselves to television in a direct way,' says Michael Rosenfeld, president of National Geographic Television. The brand's penetration speaks to the success of the approach. Nat Geo Channels International, which debuted in fall 1997, reaches about 190 million households in 34 languages. Nat Geo Channel US, launched in 2001, is available in 64 million homes. (The flagship magazine has a circulation of about 8.5 million people worldwide.)\nNational Geographic got it right as early as 1965.

(The flagship magazine has a circulation of about 8.5 million people worldwide.)\n\u2018National Geographic exploits its content very well,\u2019 says Barbara Friedman, VP of marketing for Elle and Elle D\u00e9cor magazines, and an architect of the deal for Project Runway. \u2018There was a time in the 1980s when we all thought \u2018Let\u2019s do the Sports Illustrated or People show.\u2019 Most of them fell flat because they didn\u2019t start with the viewer, they started with a magazine brand that wanted to be on TV. The shows, like the magazines, were arranged topic after topic. I don\u2019t know how well that translates.\u2019\nNot very well. The history of print/TV partnerships is littered with cautionary tales. And failure can\u2019t always be clearly blamed on a print magazine trying to become a magazine show. For every Martha Stewart success story, there are a dozen Discovery Times Channel, Lifetime magazine or Wall Street Week with Fortune crash and burn collaborations. But Seventeen magazine pairing with MTV to produce Miss Seventeen in 2005 might have helped usher in today\u2019s brave new era of publishing/broadcaster partnerships, which is more about creating complementary content that reaches as many eyeballs as possible than it is about transferring a print property to television and vice versa.\n\u2018If you have a brand with personality and your magazine has authority and a rich relationship with its readers, and if your editor can be a spokesperson, there are a lot of ways you can successfully translate it to television,\u2019 says Steve Sachs, president of Real Simple magazine, who recently announced a co-branding effort with Discovery\u2019s TLC. \u2018But you have to step back and evaluate the brand promise and how unique it is on television,\u2019 he adds. \u2018A successful magazine might have a unique brand in print, but not on TV.\u2019\nEven if all the pieces are in place, does that mean success? And is there a best-before date or can the partnerships evolve? Here\u2019s a look at three print/television co-ventures that, whether winding down or gearing up, are worth watching (and reading).\nNew kid on the dial: Cosmopolitan TV\nWith 58 international editions published in 34 languages, Cosmopolitan magazine is the straight-talking, ultra sexy best friend of women around the world ages 18 to 34. A globally recognized brand with an ad-friendly audience and proven content (sex sells!), it was ideally positioned to transition to television when Toronto-based Corus Entertainment partnered with New York publishing empire The Hearst Corporation to launch Cosmo TV in Canada on February 14. \u2018From a marketing perspective, it was a dream,\u2019 says Susan Schaefer, Corus\u2019 VP of marketing. \u2018People recognize it immediately and know what it means to them.\u2019\nThe digi-channel resembles its print predecessor more than most current magazine-to-TV adaptations: airing between programs are five-second bumpers that feature the popular Cosmo Quiz (Is he naughty or nice? Are you a good flirt?) and use content culled from the magazine\u2019s archives, and the channel initiated its own bachelor search \u2013 an annual hottie hunt introduced in the magazine more than five years ago. The contest, which plays out on a segment of the Canadian-made series Oh So Cosmo, is a cross-platform initiative that will culminate in an on-air special. \u2018We were given access to all the magazine content ever produced, which we can then repackage and repurpose,\u2019 says Schaefer. Much of it enriches the digi\u2019s website in categories familiar to any Cosmo reader (i.e. sex, dating and style).\nWhile there was a Spanish-language precedent for Cosmo\u2018s conversion to television (there\u2019s a channel in Spain and Latin America), Schaefer notes that meetings held in early days between the tv programming team, the magazine\u2019s us editor Kate White and Hearst execs were critical. \u2018We made several trips to New York, during which Kate answered our questions, pointed out the most popular elements in the magazine and helped define the brand. We understood that to be successful, the channel had to feel like the same brand as the magazine.\u2019 Conversely, she says that print brands hoping to make the leap to a channel need the history and reach of a property like Cosmo. \u2018Many magazines can translate to a show, but you have to be a pretty iconic brand to become a channel. Plus, Cosmo is fun. I can\u2019t think of a woman who doesn\u2019t want to talk about sex and relationships, and at the end of the day, women want to be entertained.\u2019\nThe sleeper hit: Project Runway\nA model partnership\nUS-based Bravo TV netted one of its most successful series since Queer Eye for the Straight Guy when The Weinstein Company (then Miramax) partnered with fashion magazine Elle to produce Project Runway, a competition reality show that sees young sartorialists trying to out sew each other to become the next \u2018It\u2019 fashion designer. TWC shopped the format to publishing giants looking, in part, for a financial investment when Barbara Friedman, Elle\u2018s VP of marketing, proposed a successful alternative: ad space for the show, editorial coverage of the winning designer\u2019s line and Elle fashion director Nina Garcia as an on-camera judge. \u2018The show hadn\u2019t yet recruited Michael Kors [to be a judge] and needed fashion credibility,\u2019 says Friedman. \u2018Elle could lend it that halo.\u2019\nFriedman wasn\u2019t a huge fan of reality shows when Project Runway popped up. \u2018I thought the genre was going downhill,\u2019 she says. Before the show debuted in December 2004, she continues, \u2018most formats were about people eating worms and betraying each other. I had my doubts, but I was intrigued by the idea of doing a glamorous topic.\u2019 If the show bombed, the brand risked public embarrassment. But Elle wanted a platform from which it could penetrate the public conscience; launched in the us in 1985, the magazine wanted a chunk of the spotlight dominated by Vogue, which has been on American newsstands for more than 100 years. \u2018We want to be Pepsi to their Coke,\u2019 says Friedman. \u2018I believe that magazines, in order to fulfill their promise, need to get out into other media and become part of pop culture. It was a solid risk to take.\u2019 Indeed. The show was nominated for an Emmy after season one and in the run up to this year\u2019s season four, TWC (which produces the series with LA-based prodco Magical Elves) announced a slew of Project Runway licensing agreements for products ranging from jewelry to sewing machines.\nWhile Elle offers up advice, contacts and info to the program producers, the mag doesn\u2019t shape the show\u2019s content. (Garcia\u2019s on-screen involvement came about as an organic solution for integrating the brands.) Its role is to complement the series\u2019 behind-the-scenes action. \u2018Fashion doesn\u2019t translate well to TV because you see it in a blink of an eye,\u2019 says Friedman. \u2018We photograph the clothes in a setting that\u2019s art directed and beautifully lit. We capture the glamour.\u2019 Advertising is sold as a three-part buy-in between TWC, Bravo and Elle. To entice sponsors such as L\u2019Oreal, which already invests in print ads, the magazine creates enhanced content such as the stand-alone print and digital editions of Project Runway magazine, first created in 2005 for season two.\nThe architecture of the collaboration inspired a number of copycats. Bravo and Elle D\u00e9cor, a glossy shelter magazine also overseen by Friedman, entered into a similar arrangement to create Top Design, a format that searches for the next hot interior designer. The deal doesn\u2019t involve TWC, but the show is produced by Magical Elves. Elves is also behind Bravo\u2019s Top Chef, which \u2013 you guessed it \u2013 looks for tomorrow\u2019s culinary tastemaker. The winner gets a spread in Food & Wine magazine. Top Chef began its fourth season on March 12, and following a lukewarm season one, Top Design is undergoing a makeover, but has been announced for a second run. With the fourth season just wrapped, Project Runway is potentially heading into its final installment \u2013 negotiations to extend the contract beyond five seasons have not yet concluded.\nThe upstart: Real Simple\nBuilding a brand for two\nLast year, after two years on PBS, Real Simple magazine dropped a third-year option for its eponymous weekly half-hour series. Then it called in Andy Friendly, president of programming and production for King World, and Greenberg Glusker entertainment department chair David Stanley. Over the next six months, a new show concept was hatched and pitched to TLC, which picked it up and built it out: a deal was struck not just for one show, but for a multimedia partnership that sees the Time Warner Company collaborating with Discovery Communications both creatively and financially. \u2018We both talk to real women, presenting info in practical ways,\u2019 says Steve Sachs, president of Real Simple. \u2018We realized there was more than a show here.\u2019\nLaunched in 2000, Real Simple magazine reaches over seven million readers a month and covers style, food, home and health in a way that appeals to women who pick up Martha Stewart Living and think, who has the time to do that? Two years ago, the magazine began to extend its reach to radio, books and retail via licensing deals. TV was the logical next step.\nWhile the PBS program put the magazine on television, the partnership with TLC translates the brand concept \u2013 tagged \u2018Life made easier\u2019 \u2013 for the small screen. The collaboration\u2019s first effort debuts in August. A yet unnamed, 15-ep., primetime makeover show along the lines of What Not to Wear, it will tackle women\u2019s lifestyle habits. TLC and Real Simple will work together to pick the show\u2019s experts; the magazine\u2019s editors will also be considered for on-screen appearances. \u2018There will be content in the magazine every month that\u2019s specific to the show or builds off of the show, perhaps by profiling the people featured that week, giving additional information or potentially casting people,\u2019 says Sachs. \u2018Our editor [Kristin van Ogtrop] decides what that content will be.\u2019 Related mobile and Web features will also be developed. Advertising sales will package TV, print and online, and will be a joint effort by Real Simple and TLC. \u2018This is a partnership, not just a show,\u2019 repeats Sachs, noting the probability of doing additional shows. \u2018This is really a brand,\u2019 he finishes. Will Discovery turn TLC into the Real Simple channel? Stay tuned.",

In the course of his research, producer Pickering found that a gene had been discovered by scientists, nicknamed the \u2018warrior gene.\u2019\nAlthough the science of it is considered to be in its infancy, with over 10 years of research and six studies around it, the MAOA (monoamine oxidase) gene was the perfect seed for an episode of National Geographic\u2019s \u2018Explorer\u2019 series. The project just needed a host.\n\u2018National Geographic and I have been conspiring to work together for a few years. Finally everything came together,\u2019 says former Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins, now a spoken word artist, author, and TV presenter. His reputation for intensity made him a perfect fit for Born to Rage.\n\u2018I\u2019m interested in anything that gives me more information into how we humans tick,\u2019 he says. \u2018People are my bread and butter. Also, with anything to do with anger, I am easily curious.\u2019\nNational Geographic Channel commissioned the one-off in order to bring the new science to its audience. \u2018Our Explorer series is the longest-running documentary series on television, and science has always been the hallmark of that series,\u2019 says Steve Burns, NGC\u2019s executive vice president of content. \u2018It\u2019s a spectacular film with a lot of surprises. It has startling and entertaining science.\u2019\nThe MAOA gene is a neurotransmitter that tells the brain to mop up certain brain-transmitted devices, like serotonin, explains Day, while the \u2018warrior gene\u2019 is a mutated version of the MAOA. With the \u2018warrior gene\u2019 the chemicals are mopped up slowly, and this leads the brain function to potentially turn into impulsive and aggressive behavior. Two individuals that the Edge West team approached, NFL linebacker Dick Butkus and actor Danny Bonaduce, were tested and do not have the \u2018warrior gene,\u2019 proving that it\u2019s not easy to spot a person with the mutated gene short of a DNA test.\n\u2018Because the science is in its infancy, we wanted to pose the right questions to start a debate about genetic behavior and how that science is going to affect us, and how it already has,\u2019 says Day.\nIn the series, Rollins approaches bikers, gang members, mixed martial arts fighters and more to see whether they had the \u2018warrior gene,\u2019 and he even steps forward to take the test himself. \u2018[Rollins] was big enough, brave enough and bold enough to do it,\u2019 says Day.",

        "raw_content": "Abstract: Applications for electrolysis of seawater include preventing fouling in piping systems, conditioning water for aquaculture and reef restoration. Electrolysis creates a variety of chlorine-produced oxidants that attack essential proteins of living tissues and react with metals, other compounds (e.g., ammonia, nitrites) and organic materials (e.g., amines). The Biorock\u00ae process developed by Dr. T.J. Goreau and Dr. W. Hilbertz uses electrolysis for restoring reefs and enhancing growth and survival of corals. It is believed to act by elevating pH and alkalinity at the cathode and/or by reducing enzymatic costs for pumping cations and anions across cell membranes by providing an appropriate electrical gradient (Goreau, 2013). I hypothesize that a third mechanism for enhancing organisms may also be involved: inhibition of microorganisms by significant amounts of chlorine-produced oxidants arising from the anode. Applying Faraday\u2019s laws of electrolysis for a system at 8.0 amperes and 90% efficiency gives an estimated evolution of ~230 grams of chlorine per day (equivalent to ~70 liters of gas at STP). In nature (i.e., an open system), diffuse follow-on reaction products (including hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite, hypobromous acid and hypobromite ion) may benefit macrobiota via inactivation of microbial pathogens and competitors, or by other improvements to water quality, as long as concentrations are too low to harm larger, ecotoxicologically less vulnerable organisms.\nAuthors: J.

        "title": "Reigning Beats: NHL mid-season evaluation",
        "raw_content": "Here we are almost half way into the NHL season and the Blackhawks still haven't lost. Sorry its been such a long time sense my lost posting. A lot has happened in the NHL between now and then, many of my pre-season predictions appear to be on the right track, and some others not to much (Anaheim is drastically exceeding expectations).\nI'm calling out the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers, and Washington Capitols for being the biggest disappointments of the season so far.\nThe Flyers have been wildly inconsistent, loosing 6 games by 3 or more goals and winning 3 games by that same margin (including impressive 7-0 and 7-1 Wins) They're currently the 8th seed in the East and appear to be on the rise, but anything is possible with this team. They sit at 11-10-1 and could go any direction from here. With the talent they have their is no reason they should finish lower than a 5th seed.\nThe New York Rangers who made the biggest trade of the offseason acquiring Rick Nash don't seem to resemble the team the was the top seed in the east last season. Henrik Lundquvist is not playing like the Vezina winner he was last year and the Rangers just don't seem to be on the same page regardless of all their offensive firepower. Currently in the 9th seed and only two points above the cross-town rival Islanders, they have plenty of work too do if they plan on contending for the Cup.\nThe Washington Capitols troubles can be summed up into two words: Alexander Ovechkin. He has disappeared, other than his hat-trick last week, he has been very disappointing. The Capitals will only go as far as he can take them and that currently isn't working out to well for them. Currently sitting at 8-11-1 and 14th in the East. The Capitals have some serious questions to answer and this season appears to be lost. With a very high draft pick expected this team might find themselves back in the hunt with in a year or two but for now their Stanley Cup contending days of only two or three years ago seem to be decades ago. Turning this season around is a nearly impossible task, but they should be back on track within a few years ago, assuming Ovechikin can return to form and start scoring goals like this again.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDYARsNlvfQ\nThe Los Angeles Kings likely would've made this list after the first 15 games of the season but they appear to have turned around their defensive and goaltending issues and are back to playing hockey.\nOn the other side of the spectrum the Ducks, Blackhawks and Canadiens are all playing better hockey than most expected\nThe Anaheim Ducks who I predicted to finish last in the Pacific and 13th in the West are the hottest team in the league right now (after Chicago) Victor Fasth has been playing better than any goalie in league and is currently a frontrunner for the Vezina. The Ducks who I earlier criticized for a lack of depth on defense and beyond their top six, appear to be a very complete team in all areas. They have more 5+ goal scorers than any other team in the NHL and appear to be intact on defense. Perry and Getzlaf are both in contract years and many were predicting one or both of them to be dealt sometime in the season, but with Anaheim's recent success that seems unlikely and if anything they both might find themselves in longterm deals with the Ducks by the end of the season instead of playing for another team. I don't expect the Ducks to finish the season as hot as they've started (15-3-3) but I still expect a playoff berth out of them and probably a Pacific Division crown.\nAfter winning the cup in 2010 I expceted the Blackhawks to be a pretty good team for the foreseeable future, but I don't think anyone expected them to be this good.. 19-0-3. The best start ever.\nEVER. The Hawks are killing teams and are without a doubt the favorite to win the Stanley Cup. They should clinch the President's trophy by next week.. well not really.. but almost. Patrick Kane is playing some of his best hockey ever while Cory Crawford and Ray Emory are exceeding expectations in net. Chicago is rolling all four lines and don't expect them to back down anytime soon.\nWell lets hope that the rest of the season is as entertaining and eventful as the first half and it should be an interesting final 26 or so games till the playoffs start. And that is when the real fun begins.",

        "raw_content": "Nasal polyps are sac-like growths in the nasal passages, which is the area of the nose that extends from the nostrils up into the nose. These growths are not cancerous or harmful, but they may lead to problems such as if they become enlarged or if they obstruct the nasal passage. Small polyps may cause no symptoms at all, while large polyps may block drainage and lead to infection. Anyone can have nasal polyps, but they are more common in men and in people over age 40. Children who have nasal polyps should be screened for cystic fibrosis, as nasal polyps are a common finding in this disease. Risk factors for nasal polyps are asthma, sinus infections, presence of a foreign object in the nose, and allergic rhinitis (runny nose caused by allergies).\nSymptoms of nasal polyps include nasal congestion, a runny nose, snoring, pain in the upper teeth or face, sneezing, loss of smell (anosmia), reduced sense of smell (hyposmia), itching around the eyes, headache, or infections. Nasal polyps can be diagnosed with a nasal endoscope, which is a lighted tube that is used to look up the nose. Treatment can include medications, such as nasal sprays and allergy medications, or surgery. If you have nasal polyps, talk to your doctor about the most current treatment options.",

        "title": "The Anthony Nolan Charity Night",
        "raw_content": "The Anthony Nolan Charity Night\nGuest post from my amazing Boyfriend, Sean.\nI never really appreciated just how much of a different a simple donation to a charity could actually make, nor was I prepared just how connected to a charity I would become. Ever since I donated my stem cells back in 2012 via the charity \u2018Anthony Nolan\u2019, I have gone on to meet the recipient of my stem cells, Johnny, ran the London marathon twice (once with Johnny), attended local schools to raise awareness and organised a handful of charity balls.\nOn Saturday 6th February we hosted our annual charity dinner and ball. Sorting a date and venue for the event felt like 2 items ticked off a list of a thousand, I won\u2019t lie, it can be stressful! In the previous weeks/months we had wrote to many companies and organisations asking for any support in terms of donating items for the raffle and auction, or even a financial donation, and it was overwhelming to see just how many people wanted to help. Now we had the foundations set, we were ready for the biggest job, the ticket sales. The previous 2 years we had sold roughly 110 and 120 tickets, so we were expecting a similar figure. After 2 weeks of advertising the tickets, we had sold over 150 which was totally unexpected but a figure we welcomed with open arms \u2013 it was unbelievable how many people were willing to come and support us in raising funds for Anthony Nolan. When the day arrived, we were up very early in order to get the room set up. It was a real family effort and what I liked about i the most that it was a good opportunity for my family to meet Rhiannon\u2019s family.\nThe night began with a drinks reception which was popular with everyone and also a photograph on entry courtesy of Rhiannon\u2019s dad, Andrew, who also got some fantastic picture throughout the night. As the final few people arrived, I began feeling more and more nervous as I had to do the opening speech \u2013 although a few pints helped with the nerves. I thanked everyone for coming and informed everyone what their money would go on to do, not long had I been sat down before I was getting back up to accept a gift from Kirsty Low and Craig Wills from Anthony Nolan who informed me and the rest of the room that leading up to the nights event our fundraising efforts over the years stood at a total of \u00a318,000 \u2013 an incredible amount that wouldn\u2019t have been possible if it was not for having such a supportive group of friends, community and the generosity of complete strangers! The gift is something I am really proud of and a moment I will always remember, it was awarded \u2018The Hagan Family\u2019 but in reality it is for anyone who has ever helped over the years!\nOnce the speeches were over the 3 course meals were soon being brought out, soup for starter, roast beef for main and sticky toffee pudding for desert. We started the fundraising off by a game of bingo \u2013 with the winner taking home a brand new iPad mini \u2013 not a bad prize! We had an auction that featured some great prizes such as Kendal Calling festival tickets, signed sports memorabilia, a brand new Mercedes for a weekend and 4 adele tickets. When all the hard work was out of the way it felt like we were able to now enjoy the night, as anyone who has organised an event will know 90% of the time the night just passes by as you are so busy running around!\nThe night finished with a local band Big Fish playing a great set and it was good to see everyone up and dancing. The night took our total raised for Anthony Nolan to well over \u00a320,000 which is incredible. When you think it costs Anthony Nolan \u00a3100 to sign a potential donor to the register that could mean that together we have signed up 200 people and potentially saved the lives of 200 people \u2013 it puts everything into perspective.\nThe London Marathon 2016 is fast approaching and although I am taking a break from running this year, I\u2019m really looking forward to to taking Rhiannon down to London with all my family to support my brother, Ryan and brother-in-law, Kieran who will both be running for the Anthony Nolan team for the second time. I\u2019m sure it will be another memorable day in our association with Anthony Nolan \u2013 the UK\u2019s Bone Marrow register.",

        "raw_content": "9712883 Niebauer Research will be undertaken in response to an Announcement of Opportunity (NSF 97-38) for Coastal Studies in the Great Lakes. The research is being conducted under the auspices of the NSF Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) program and the NOAA Coastal Ocean Program. This collaborative, interdisciplinary research program will entail an integrated program of field and laboratory studies and mathematical modeling to quantify the role of coastal currents and thermal fronts in mediating cross-margin transport in Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. The objective of this project is to numerically model and understand the basic oceanographic processes that affect and drive cross-margin and vertical transport in the Great Lakes. This modeling study will consider physical, biological, and chemical interactions with emphasis on episodic and seasonal weather (wind and heat) forcing of vertical and horizontal lake circulation, and effects on events such as primary production. The ultimate goal is to gain understanding to the point of being able to predict transport of momentum and mass, including natural and anthropogenic material. The transport of natural and anthropogenic material includes primary production in nutrient- phytoplankton-zooplankton loops with emphasis on aggregation of particles (both natural and anthropogenic) and associated vertical flux and fate. This modeling research will be applied to two contrasting Great Lakes coastal margins for comparison and contrast: Lake Superior as an example of an oligotrophic Lake that is seasonally impacted by ice cover, and Lake Michigan as an example of a coastal region that is more impacted by anthropogenic input. While this research is aimed at the Great Lakes coastal zone, it is directly applicable to the coastal ocean. The work requires a multidisciplinary, collaborative research approach and cooperative interaction to fit the various biological, physical, chemical and met eorological model components together and to gather, apply and interpret data for initial and boundary conditions as well as to verify the resulting model results. This will be accomplished through interaction with investigators and laboratories around the Great Lakes. The research will lead to a better quantitative understanding of the processes that dominate the transport, transformations, and fates of biologically, chemically, and geologically important matter across the margins of the Great Lakes.",

        "raw_content": "UFO Shoots Beam of Fire at Construction Workers\nby Noe Torres\nThe Edinburg UFO Conference & Festival was inspired, in part, by a very strange event that occurred north of town in 1966. Here is a presentation that was done at the location of the incident by author Noe Torres and Joe Ponce, son of the deputy sheriff that investigated the original case:\nAnd here is a report about the incident from one of the local TV stations:\nBelow is the full report on what happened.\nLocation: Farm to Market Rd 490, approximately 4 miles west of U.S. Highway 281.\nJust North of Edinburg, Texas\nDate: October or November 1966 (exact date unknown)\nTime: Approximately midnight\nIn October or November of 1966, J. R. \u201cMilo\u201d Ponce, a deputy sheriff with the Hidalgo County Sheriff\u2019s Department, received a phone call at around midnight from the sheriff\u2019s department dispatcher, George Rapp. The dispatcher stated that someone had called in to report a group of \u201cdisturbed\u201d men standing alongside Farm to Market Highway 490, north of Edinburg, Texas, near Laguna Seca Road.\nJoe Ponce, Eyewitness\u2019 Son, at UFO Site\nThe eight men, who were digging a gravel pit in the area for a company out of North Texas, were greatly agitated. They were yelling and screaming for help alongside the road. A motorist must have seen them and then driven them to a nearby truck stop, from where they called the sheriff\u2019s department.\nAccording to Joe, \u201cWhen my father received a phone call from the sheriff\u2019s department, I heard him asking George Rapp, the dispatcher, if it was serious or if it was a prank call. Rapp told him that the men seen along Highway 490 appeared to be very frightened about something they had seen, and they also said they needed help putting out a fire. My father got dressed, got in his vehicle, and responded to the call.\u201d\nThe site in question is a ranch located approximately four miles west of Highway 281, owned at the time by Samuel Gonzalez, now deceased, and now owned by Mary Moya. The charred and burned area was about one quarter mile into the ranch next to some very large gravel pits.\nThe pits were being dug out by a crew of eight men from north Texas. The men, who were all \u201cAnglo\u201d and whose identities are not known, were \u201croughneck\u201d types. All of them told the same story of that eerie night. One of the men had been so frightened that he urinated in his pants. The men were later taken to the sheriff\u2019s office, where they were interviewed and then allowed to spend the night. They told sheriff\u2019s deputies that they would never return to the site of the incident, and they reportedly left town the next day, happy to escape with their lives.\nHidalgo County Sheriff\u2019s Department in 1966\nMilo Ponce\u2019s son, Joe Ponce, says, \u201cAlthough I did not witness this incident, I heard several different people give the same details about it at separate times. There was a police report filed, but I don\u2019t know if it would still be around. I will tell the story as I heard it from my father.\u201d\nThe workers told deputies of having seen bright lights in the sky and of hearing a loud humming or throbbing sound. They also experienced sudden, strong winds on an otherwise calm night, and they saw flames shoot down out of the sky, presumably from one of the UFOs that had been previously seen hovering in the area. The beam of fire set ablaze all the surrounding area, including their vehicles and their mobile home.\nA local resident, known as \u201cManito,\u201d who lived near the caliche pit, reported seeing a \u201ccigar-shaped object\u201d that hovered over the field that night. Manito had seen this and other bright lights hovering over the surrounding fields prior to the night of this incident. The gravel pit workers themselves stated that they had seen strange lights hovering around the area on other occasions, prior to the night of the fire. Spanish-speaking people who lived near the area called these eerie night lights \u201cLa Luz del Llano,\u201d which in English means \u201cthe light in the fields.\u201d According to Joe Ponce, this area has been known for years as the site of strange phenomena.\nFirefighters eventually arrived at the scene of the fire, but by the time they got there, the flames had mostly died out. Ponce\u2019s dad said that, on the following morning, he and another deputy returned to the scene and found everything, including the crew\u2019s sleeping quarters, destroyed by fire.\nJoe Ponce Points Out the Gravel Pit\nAmong what was damaged or destroyed by the fire was: a 12\u2019 x 60\u2019 mobile home that the crew were using as sleeping quarters, a couple of pick-up trucks, a bobtail truck, and an excavating machine. \u201cIt was all charred,\u201d Joe Ponce remembers, \u201cAll that stuff had been burned.\u201d\nTwisted Scrap of Metal Found at the Site\nPonce says, \u201cYears later, after I returned from the Army in 1972, I visited the area with my father. He pointed out the location and you could still see an odd shape area where nothing would grow. The sides of the pit appeared to have been burned all the way to the top 25-30 feet high.\u201d\nJoe Ponce says that Sheriff E. E. Vickers told his dad that he had been approached by two men dressed in military uniforms asking to see the report about the incident. Vickers, a resident of Donna, Texas, was the county sheriff from 1955 to 1969. Apparently, Vickers thought the men might have come from Moore Air Base, which is located about six miles southwest of the site where the incident happened, but the base had been closed by the Air Force in 1961 and was no longer a military institution at the time of the incident.\n\u201cNo more was ever said of the incident and my father never spoke about it anymore,\u201d Ponce says.\nEyewitness J. R. \u201cMilo\u201d Ponce (left) with his wife Olga\nHis father later became captain of the Highway Patrol and then ran for office and was elected county commissioner for three terms. He is still remember for his many years of service, and the county honored him by naming a park after his retirement and death. The park, called J. R. \u201cMilo\u201d Ponce Memorial Park, is located 8 miles east on Highway 2812, in the Hargill area.",

        "title": "The Rumblings of a Deranged Buffalo: My Massive Basketball Preview 2014-15: Keeping it Real",
        "raw_content": "My Massive Basketball Preview 2014-15: Keeping it Real\nPITTSBURGH 77 - COLORADO 48\nYou've seen that scoreline a lot over the last few months. Coach Boyle, in all of his wisdom, has refused to let the memory of that painful day in Orlando, FL die, even posting that score throughout the program's offices. 'We can't let that ever happen again,' is the message. It's not about shaming the kids for a rough afternoon on a national stage, just emphasizing that simply making the Tournament is not the goal; doing something with that Dance ticket is just as expected now as earning the trip.\nYou see, His Tadness has promised to 'keep it real' with the team, the fans, and the media. That constant reminder of how last season ended is just part of the effort. He's been particularly blunt this summer about the team's shortcomings, and what that could mean going forward. The simple fact is that the 2013-14 Colorado Buffaloes didn't live up to their potential. There were extenuating circumstances, to be sure, but a 5th place finish in the Pac-12 and a humiliating second round exit in the NCAA Tournament was not how last season was supposed to go. Naturally, given the sputter across the finish line, there are going to be questions, and Coach Boyle has been quick to posit a number of solutions.\nBuffNation was treated to the highs and lows of this sport in '13-'14. At one point last year, CU was the #15 team in the country, and viewed as a potential challenger to the Arizona Wildcats for the league title. The early efforts against Kansas and Oregon were some of the best, most entertaining basketball I've ever seen this program produce. Then, in an instant on a road trip to Seattle, everyone was treated to a lesson on impermanence. Success is, of course, fragile, and should not be treated lightly. Even the best teams need to be prepared to respond to dire adversity; nothing is just handed to you at this level. But the team wasn't ready to deal with the stress. While struggling to come to terms with a traumatic injury to one of their star players, they began to lose their way, and some truly ugly basketball followed. The Buffs would tussle with the .500 mark the rest of the year, as, what was once a season filled with promise, turned uncomfortable. They still made the Tournament, to their credit, but what should've been a happy month for the program turned sour in a hurry.\nLuckily, the disappointing end to last season is not the final word on the matter. Those '77-48' signs will come down on Friday, just as the curtain rises on the 2014-15 basketball season, and the focus will become about the present, rather than the regrets of the past. That's what 'keeping it real' is all about. Ignoring the past - passing it off as a blip, or a result of some miss-fortune - is not going to prepare the team properly for the coming winter. There's still a lot of talent on this roster, a group that has a world of potential to capitalize upon. They need to meet last year's mistakes head on, learn from them, and then move forward.\nBelieve me, as frustrating as last season was, there's a lot of promise on the horizon for 2014-15. CU is legitimately one of the three or four best teams in the Pac-12, and look to be on the precipice of making program history by surging through to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth-consecutive time. The Buffs are as deep as ever this year, and as experienced as they've been since the start of the #RollTad era. Behind this group, the program will continue to rack up the wins, the CEC will continue to be sold out, and the banners of the University of Colorado will continue to fill the national consciousness. The state of this program continues to be strong.\nIn this virtual tome, I will attempt to 'keep it real' about the 2014-15 University of Colorado Men's Basketball Team; previewing them from a variety of aspects, and predicting whether they will be able to make that return trip to the NCAA Tournament. I'll look at the roster, profiling the players, and discussing how the coaching staff will look to deploy the best returning depth in the conference. I'll look at the schedule, touching on both the non-conference and conference slates, and announce my baseline win projection for the campaign. Finally, I'll look at the Pac-12, noting how our rivals are dealing with a metric ton of roster turnover. Usually, I'd close with a look at the upcoming recruiting class, but CU doesn't have one, yet, so that discussion will have to wait...\nThose of you who have been here before know that the word 'massive' in the title is not a misnomer. I'm long-winded to a fault. Consider yourselves warned. If, with that understanding, you're not dissuaded, if you love Colorado basketball too much to let a thing like 'TLDR' get in front of a good time, then grab a beer, strap in, and click below for the preview...\nThis is the fifth iteration of the Massive Basketball Preview. Previous installments can be found here, here, here, and here.\nCU has made a habit in recent years of rebounding from the early exit of one of their stars to find their way back to the NCAA Tournament. From Alec Burks to Andre Roberson, similar departures in other eras of this program's history would've spelled a slide back to irrelevancy. Now, however, that is no longer the case. Colorado basketball can survive the early jump to the NBA of one of their stars, and still field a Tournament-caliber team. That's how you know this program as arrived. Teams come and go, but programs live on.\nCase-in-point, the matter of Spencer Dinwiddie now playing with the Detroit Pistons. Dinwiddie was one of the best players in Colorado history, and his jump to the professional ranks, while leaving a year of eligibility on the table, will hurt the ceiling of 2014-15. There's a solid argument to be made that, had he returned, the Buffs could've been a dark horse Elite Eight contender. That dream may no longer a possibility, but this team should still make the Tournament. The continuance of the program at a high level is not in question.\nPart of that is because the core of the 2013-14 team remains intact, and learned a few things about playing without the Mayor in the process. Losing Spencer Dinwiddie early, not to the NBA, but to an ACL tear at the start of January, was a shock to the system. In addition to the loss of freshman role player Tre'Shaun Fletcher, the sight of the Mayor in pain, along with his absence from the lineup, seemed to shake the team from their rhythm. They would lose three of their next four after the fateful day in Seattle, and plummeted from the top-20 to the wrong side of the Tournament bubble. That was not the end of the story, however. Much like before, the team rebounded in the absence of a player who had been so counted on, digging deep to win six of ten down the stretch and a pair of games in Las Vegas to salvage the season, and make the NCAA Tournament for the third year running. That bit took heart, it took determination, and it took maturity from a team dominated by underclassmen. I honestly didn't think they had it in them. The result against Pittsburgh was certainly disappointing, but just making it to Orlando was a major victory when looking back to the final weeks of January.\nThat doesn't mean that there aren't problems that need fixing. You could see the core of the traditional elements of #TadBall in play all year, especially when you note that the team finished 16th nationally in rebounding margin, boosted by a 75% defensive rebounding rate that was 6th in all of college basketball. But the team struggled to score the ball, especially after Dinwiddie and Fletcher were removed from the equation. CU had been encroaching on the national top-50 in offensive efficiency before the injury laden trip to Seattle pushed them to settle an ugly 159th overall, but this was a year-long issue. Many of the struggles were familiar - the Buffs turned the ball over too much (19.7%), and didn't share it enough (.85 assist-to-turnover ratio, 296th nationally) - and some of them were new - 31.8% from three point range (289th), 46.4% non-transition eFG% (267th nationally). Without the threat of an outside shot or an inventive pass, opposing defenders were able to collapse on CU's strong forwards, gumming up the works, and causing serious frustration. That's how, after a promising start, Colorado stumbled to 9th in the Pac-12 in scoring with 72.4 ppg.\nThe key, then, for this year is increasing offensive efficiency through more creation from the guards. Thanks to a superlative center with undeniable generational talent, and some surprising depth behind him, for the first time in the Tad Boyle era, the roster is truly forward focused. For them to be allowed to shine, someone from the guard corps will have to step up to take pressure off of the paint. Luckily, the team is lead by a senior guard with a bulldog mentality, fearless in the face of long-odds. Supporting him is a local point guard on the verge of a breakout season, an athletic dynamo, and a heralded freshman with a world of potential. How they meld to work with the front line will be essential to a fourth-straight ticket to the Dance.\n- Askia Booker, 6-2, 175 lbs, Sr from Los Angeles, CA - #0\nFrom: the Pac-12\nWhat's this? An every game starter who also happens to be a true, four-year senior? CU hasn't enjoyed that basic luxury since 2011-12, when both Nate Tomlinson and Austin Dufault roamed the hardwood. I don't think I need to remind you how that season ended...\nYes, Askia 'Ski' Booker - the grand master of #SKIBALL, the hero who felled Kansas, the last remaining player from the 2012 Pac-12 championship squad - is back for his final run in Black and Gold. We've been through a lot with Ski - from unheralded spark plug to 6th man linchpin, a spectacular Tournament as a freshman, the MVP of the Charleston Classic, and, soon, a program record in wins and NCAA Tournament appearances. He hasn't always been the player some in BuffNation would've wanted, but, in that fine Dark Knight mold, he's the player the fanbase has needed. Like a Facebook relationship status, 'it's complicated.' I, personally, can't get enough of the kid, and rarely does a game go by where he doesn't bring a smile to my face. He is the very definition of the word 'gamer,' a player who will give every ounce in his body to win. The kid cares and bleeds for his teammates. I wish there were 12 more just like him to fill out the roster.\nIt's no small measure that Booker will most likely leave Boulder as the winningest player in program history. Let me tell you right now, no other player in America, let alone this program, out-works Askia. He has always put in the hours before and after practice, hoisting shot after shot, working on his free throw shooting, and improving his endurance. This offseason was no different\n\"I'm strong, I'm athletic, faster than I've ever been. I feel great. (Strength and conditioning coach James) Hardy, he gave us a lot of numbers to meet when we came back, and I actually blew those numbers out of the water.\" -link\nIf there are any stumbles in his game, it's not from a lack of effort off-court. But, as the man himself says:\nI don't care how hard you work \u2014 you can be the hardest worker, shoot 1,000 shots a day, make 1,000 shots a day \u2014 if you don't have confidence in your game and who you are, you don't even need to be on the floor. -link\nJust as no man out-works Ski, very few can say they have as much confidence. How else could a player take as many chances as Booker, yet usually find a way to make it all work. How else does he have the balls to euro-step into the greatest shot in program history? This dude is confidence with a capital C.\nI could watch this til the end of time.\nThe problem is, I get the feeling that all that confidence, all that extra work, all that desperate drive to succeed allows Booker to place too much pressure onto his diminutive shoulders. When Spencer and Tre'Shaun went down last year, the whole team was looking to Ski to give them a spark, and he knew it. You could tell that weight wore on him. His jump shot, at times, seemed to squeeze out like the last dollops of toothpaste from a tube. He would try to make passes that simply weren't there. He desperately wanted to be the lightning bug who almost single-handedly beat Illinois in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. He was simply forcing it; fighting the game.\nThe injury situation had Booker playing point guard almost 80% of the time last winter. While his ppg and assists all went up over the remaining half of the season, something that was all but guaranteed when searching to replace the production of a program cornerstone, the peripheral stats started to slide. Turnovers and jump shooting were a particular problem, as Booker took more of the offensive load onto his shoulders.\nFor a time, at least, he seemed to find a way to work around it. After the team regrouped from the painful road trip to Arizona, Booker authored a fantastic six game stretch, averaging 19 points and over six assists per. Consequently, CU went 5-1 for those three weeks, and life was all roses and sunshine. It looked like the whole team was turning the corner, with Ski leading the charge...\nThen the cameras descended on Boulder for the Arizona game, Spencer was dragged out of cold storage for interviews, and everyone seemed to be reminded that Colorado was missing something, rather then just playing good basketball. Booker immediately went into a tailspin that would spike his stat lines for the rest of the season. From Feb 22 on, Askia would only shoot 35% from the field, a shocking 9% from beyond the arc (that's not a typo), and post a nearly 1:1 assist-to-turnover ratio. CU went 3-5 over that stretch, as Ski only played two games with an offensive rating over 100.\nEven after all of that, on the eve of the NCAA Tournament, Booker said, \"My whole life, I've been a scorer; now I have to do more.\" I just don't think that's the case; in fact, I think he's already taken on too much. Yes, as the lone senior in the rotation, this is his team, but that doesn't mean he has to do everything - it's a team sport, after all. I think at this point in his career, we should all know what Booker can bring to the table, and asking him to do more is just looking for trouble, as we saw last season.\nThe man simply known as Ski has said he wants to handle the rock as the primary point guard this year. As any friend of the slopes would tell you, however, rocks and skiing do not mix well. In my mind, Askia would be better served to stay off the ball, wreaking havoc as a two-guard. He's an explosive scorer - let him be that explosive scorer! The point should be made, though, that there's a fine line in Coach Boyle's system between the traditional point guard role, and other guard responsibilities. Maybe then it's just a simple matter of Booker finding comfort in his role, whatever it is, and bringing the joy - the SKIBALL - back to the forefront. With only one final bite at the collegiate apple remaining, I hope he can.\n- Kevin Nelson, 6-2, 190 lbs, Sr from Albuquerque, NM - #12\nFrom: the CU Independent\nThe first of two senior walkons, Kevin has been on the roster for the past two seasons, but, due to a string of injuries, only first saw the court last year. Participating in nine games, he shared the walkon lead in appearances with Beau Gamble. He only took two shots, but hit his first, a three pointer, in the home opener against UT-Martin.\nOriginally a member of New Mexico's 2009 recruiting class, he's an old hand at this basketball stuff, bringing a veteran voice to the locker room. In the past, Coach Boyle has singled him out for praise, citing him with Booker as the hardest workers on the team. Given his history with the trainer's table, I hope Kevin can enjoy a completely healthy season to cap his career; he's earned it.\n- Geoffrey Bates, 6-3, 200 lbs, Sr from Plano, TX - #35\nGeoffrey joins Kevin Nelson in forming the senior backbone of the walkon corps. He originally started his collegiate career at tiny Collin College in his home town (go Cougars!), where he lead the team in offensive rebounding as a freshman. After only one year, however, he transferred to USC for academics, before finally finding his way to CU in 2012. Unfortunately, he had to sit the entirety of 2012-13 while recovering from hip surgery, and didn't get into a single game last season.\nI honestly don't know much about Geoffrey. I reached out to the magical world of twitter for help, and program insider @RealMatSmith assured me that Bates, like all walkons, works hard in practice, and can also hold his own in the post. Hopefully, the Buffs can get a big lead on opening night so BuffNation can finally be introduced to the kid from Plano.\n- Xavier Talton, 6-2, 185 lbs, Jr from Sterling, CO - #3\nOf all the members of the heralded 2012 recruiting class, I think Talton has come the farthest in his development. Early stories from practice his freshman year were not particularly complimentary, yet he's about to enter 2014-15 as a valued member of the rotation, and a strong candidate for the starting point guard spot. Xavier has good speed, handles the ball well, and is starting to make better decisions with the rock. On a team in need of consistency from the point guard slot, he more than holds his own, and has paid off Coach Boyle's decision to award the former state champion a scholarship.\nXavier, probably more than anyone else on the roster, benefited from the extra playing time made available when Dinwiddie and Fletcher were lost to injury. He had started to see his minutes dip slightly in the lead-up to conference play, but was thrown back into the action as the team searched for consistency in the immediate wake of the 'Seattle incident.' Given the opportunity, Talton seized it, lighting a fire in the team with his relief appearances. After a majestic performance at home against Utah, where he almost single-handedly lead the Buffs to an overtime victory, he finally began to appear in the starting lineup. He would start the final 13 games of the season, getting nearly 29 minutes per to shoot him past in-house competition, like Jaron Hopkins, on the depth chart. At this point, he's earned the trust of his coaches, and I would expect to see him earn big minutes for the foreseeable future.\nProjecting, I think Talton has the opportunity to become a deadly shooter for the Buffs. I love his form; it's calm, composed, and repeatable. Given a little more free reign to fire last season, he knocked down a decent 37% of his attempts from deep, but missed a few key shots that could've really helped the team out (the regular season finale in Berkeley springs to mind). I would expect, as a junior, that those crunch time threes will begin to fall for the Sterling Tiger. He has certainly been working at it, hoisting ($) upwards of 1,200 shots per day over the summer.\nGoing farther, I look for him to get a little more aggressive in attacking the rim. He's never going to play above it, but Talton would be wise to give defenders a reason to stay on their heels, rather than crowding him behind the arc. Given that extra split-second to get his shot off, it could be the key to a big season for him.\n- Eli Stalzer, 6-3, 195 lbs, Jr from Brea, CA - #5\n'The Musicman,' Stalzer is a solid role player on the court, in addition to being an accomplished piano player off of it. Along with Talton, he began to see more minutes in Pac-12 play due to the injury situation. He went from seven DNPs out of 11 games prior to Seattle to appear in every game for the rest of the season. He seemed to move up to take the role that Xavier Talton had been filling prior, that of the ninth man in the rotation, and the third option at point guard. He didn't disappoint, hitting five of eight threes through the remainder of regular season play, and grabbing a surprisingly high number of rebounds (18).\nI worry though, with Talton asserting himself, Jaron Hopkins continuing to figure for minutes, and the addition of a heralded freshman recruit, Dominique Collier, to the mix, Stalzer could see his minutes all but evaporate in third year of his career. As we saw last season, however, you never know when a gritty veteran point will be needed to fill a role, and it's comforting to know that Stalzer is there, ready to answer the call. Really wish he would've kept the goatee, though...\n- Josh Fortune, 6-5, 205 lbs, Jr/Tr from Hampton, VA via Providence College - #44\nHere's a fun trivia question: prior to Josh Fortune, who was the last CU men's basketball player to come from the Commonwealth of Virginia? The one, the only, Chris Copeland. That's some good company to be among.\nFortune, of course, will be sitting out this season as a traditional transfer, which is a bit of a shame, as, should Ski settle into the point, Fortune probably sits as the best two-guard on the roster this year. Much like the walk-ons, his primary benefit this season will be the effort he puts in behind the scenes to make the team better. Into the future, however, I would expect him to be a big component of the program. He has the shooting and athletic spark to be a solid back court replacement for Booker in 2015.\nAt least he'll have two years to play two, once the eligibility requirement is met. The interesting thing is, as a traditional transfer, I think he has the ability to affect the team in a more positive way than many of the exempted transfers from around the nation who don't have to sit. Fortune will have an entire year to really focus on blending in with the program, and coming to grips with his place in Tad Boyle's system. By the time he sees the court, there will be a built in familiarity with life as a Buffalo, which could be invaluable. That lengthy transition certainly served Carlon Brown well, and I would imagine it could do the same for Josh.\n- Brett Brady, 6-1, 160 lbs, Jr from Highlands Ranch, CO - #22\nThere was a lot of fan forum talk last season that Brady just might be the shooting specialist that the team needed to get over the post-Spencer production malaise. No offense to Brett, but that's just not tenable. As good of a shooter as he is, logic says he doesn't have the size, strength, and speed required to get his shot up, consistently, against focused Pac-12 competition. Additionally, who would he guard? What would he do on offense when he wasn't just taking long jumpers? The walkon from Douglas Country is just not a viable option for a team hoping to compete at the top of a Power 5 conference.\nThat talk, for whatever reason, began to bypass reality to take on a life of it's own. Beat writers from the BDC and Rivals were asked about him week after week, to the point that the myth of Brett Brady as savior really began to frustrate me. I would recoil at the very mention of his name, which wasn't fair to Brett. Dude works hard in practice to make his teammates better, after all. So, I've come to terms with it. I actually want Brady to get on the court and prove me wrong. Take those shots, hit those shots, Brett! Give the writers reason to talk about ya!\n- Jaron Hopkins, 6-6, 200 lbs, So from Mesa, AZ - #23\n'The Game Shooter,' Hopkins had an interesting 2013-14 campaign. He showed superlative athleticism -playing above the rim at the drop of a hat - played defense well enough to earn some tough assignments, and hit way more of his jumpers than I thought possible. But, still, the freshman seemed to be in a developmental stage, and really struggled with the extra minutes assigned after Dinwiddie went down. While we saw a lot of the player Hopkins will eventually become, I would expect a different level of performance this year from the Arizona native.\nI continue to question his jump shot. It looks like he's just lobbing it up there, rather than really 'shooting.' While he hit some big ones early in the season (the CSU game springs to mind), you could see the limitations of his form catch up to him as the year went on. His shooting percentage would go on a roller coaster ride throughout the season, as he would go stretches without hitting a single jumper, before breaking out for a few weeks. He ended up shooting 31% for the year, which is actually higher than he probably should've been. Unless something changes, that aspect of his game should probably be de-emphasized.\nOn the flip side, his ability to attack the rim and create chances for himself and others cannot be denied. He's lightning quick in the open court, and can out-jump almost anyone. The dribble-drive and kick opportunities with him on the court are numerous, and God help the opponent if he's leading a fast break. Given the offseason to mature and develop, along with the extra experience he earned last season, I would expect this to be where he focuses his efforts on offense this year. On defense, I have no doubt that he'll also continue to be the team's best backcourt defender.\n- George King, 6-6, 220 lbs, So from San Antonio, TX - #24\nThe surprise, late addition to the 2014 recruiting class, King seemed to still be searching for his role throughout last season. He looked to be a little too anxious when he saw the court, taking hasty shots, and generally not letting the game come to him. I still like his size, rebounding ability, and athleticism, he just needs more time to develop to let those aspects shine.\nAs if to answer that call, King and the coaching staff have decided to put a halt to his season before it even began. He'll be taking a redshirt year, returning to the rotation next season. I like this move for more than just the basic 'he needs more time' reason, though. It'll also even out the roster in terms of class groupings, which helps out the whole program. We'll catch back up with him next season.\n- Dominique Collier, 6-2, 170 lbs, Fr from Denver, CO - #15\nCollier comes to Boulder as one of more heralded recruits in the modern history of Colorado high school basketball. A do-it-all point guard from Denver East, he lead the Angels to a 5A title as a senior when he averaged 23/4/3/3. For his efforts in high school, he was named Mr Colorado Basketball two years running, and earned a four-star ranking and a top-100 grade from most recruiting services.\nDominique had been on the national recruiting radar since even before he was a freshman at East. CU had to beat out interest from schools like Arizona, Gonzaga, and UCLA for his services. When Coach Boyle and staff earned his commitment, not only was it a major coup, but it also marked the first time since the heady days of Chauncey Billups that the University of Colorado signed a national recruit from a Denver high school. The comparisons, therefore, will be impossible to avoid as Collier develops.\nHe boasts a high basketball IQ, with a strong feel for the game and how best to apply himself in any given situation. Flashy one minute, deftly distributing the next, the times I saw him play in high school, he struck me as a player who makes his teammates better, while also being able to get his own. Against Boulder High a few years back, I thought Dom was having a good, not great game on a slightly tweaked knee, only to look up and see that he had stuffed the stat sheet with a 25/8/6/3/3. He has undeniable talent, and I'm very excited to see him finally don the Black and Gold.\nI hope too much pressure isn't thrown on Collier out of the gate. I certainly would not expect him to start from day one, or anything like that. He's been on campus since June, taking classes and practicing, but has been fighting off an ankle injury of late, and is still a little lean, coming in at a generous 170 lbs. Dom will have to get healthier and bigger quickly to factor once the competition level gets ratcheted up (the coaching staff wants to see him up near 185). Missing all these crucial practices doesn't help, either. In addition, there's the typical transition issues:\n\u201cIn high school, it was easy for me to get to the basket, but going against college guys, it\u2019s harder for me to get where I want on the court. In high school, you can get away with the little things, but in college everything counts.\u201d -link\nStill, there's no doubt in my mind that he'll be fighting for key minutes sooner rather than later, and could be a big part of the rotation by the time conference play comes around.\n- Josh Repine, 6-3, 180 lbs, Fr from Englewood, CO - #33\nFrom: BuffStampede.com\nRounding out the guard corps, Repine comes to Boulder as a walkon. High school hoops junkies may remember him for leading Kent Denver to the 3A title in 2013, and he spent the last year playing for New Hampton Prep with fellow freshman Tory Miller. While he had options to play bigger minutes with DII and III schools, Repine says he chose the Power 5 walkon route because, 'I've always wanted to play DI, because it's the most excitement.'\nHe knows his minutes will be few as a Buff, but he has hope for the future. \"I understand my opportunities might be limited, but the nice thing I have is I'm only a freshman. So, I still have years to grow.\"\n- Josh Scott, 6-10, 245 lbs, Jr from Monument, CO - #40\nFrom: ESPN\nRidiculously still known as 'Jelly,' (seriously, can we all agree on the 'Young Fundamental?'), Josh Scott is back for his third season in Boulder. Already known nationally as one of the better forwards in the game today, there's an opportunity for him to stand out as the cream of his generation's crop. He claimed 1st team All-Pac-12 honors last season after posting a 14/8 line with an offensive rating nearing 120 for the year, and should only see those numbers improve in year #3. With a silky smooth touch around the rim, and a grown tenacity off the ball, is anybody doubting that the best is yet to come with the Colorado Springs product?\nA concern going into last season, Scott held up much better over the second half as a sophomore than he did as a freshman. His numbers didn't dip in conference play; if anything, they only got better as he averaged 15/8 over the crucial 18-game stretch, and lead the conference in offensive rebounds (despite increased attention and competition). He also asserted himself more as a defender in 2013-14, both on the ball and off of it. Jelly's defensive rebounding rate shot up to over 20% (Andre Roberson being in the NBA helped, but still), and his block rate was up to a respectable 4%. All-in-all, a fantastic season from the big guy, which alludes to an even better 2014-15.\nA big benefit for Josh continues to be his strong free throw shooting. This is one of the little thing's about Scott's game which elevates him over his peers. He raised his percentage from 75% to 81% last season, despite elevating his free throw rate to near 70%, and taking more than 100 extra attempts over his freshman campaign. I don't think I've ever seen a collegiate big man as comfortable and consistent from the lie as Scott, and he's only getting better. As he continues to draw defensive attention, and get hacked for his efforts in the paint by lazy defenders, his free throw shooting acts as a firewall against having a bad game. Josh can still points on the board, even if his shots aren't falling. What a luxury!\nHe's still listed at 245 lbs, but I don't think that tells the whole story. From what glimpses I've seen of him this summer, Josh looks to be more cut, more physically strong, which is a whole hell of a lot better than just getting bigger for weight's sake. He proved last year that the days of hulking brutes like ASU's Jordan Bachynski pushing him around in the post are gone; Josh is now the pusher, rather than the pushee. Yet, despite the increased aggression in the paint, he posted an obscenely low 2.3 fouls called per 40 minutes last season. Case-in-point, in the Boulder rematch with Bachynski last February, as physical a game as any I've ever seen, Josh walked out after 35 minutes with his opponent satisfyingly bloodied having not committed a single foul. That just proves that he's developed into an incredibly smart, savvy forward... only now with a mean streak.\nSmart... savvy... except when it comes to choices about his facial hair.\nIf there's any hole in his game, it's how he reacts to the double-team. It became common practice in February and March for teams to double Josh on the catch. My initial instinct was to welcome it, but Scott didn't seem to handle it as well as I thought he would. Especially in the postseason, doubles really limited his efficiency, dropping his 2-point shooting percentage to 38%, and leading to 11 turnovers in four games. He certainly recognizes the problem, and worked this summer to solve it:\n\"If I can help get a shot for somebody else, then that helps our team out tremendously, especially with all the attention I'm going to get [...] I worked a lot on my passing this summer and then I worked a lot on spinning out of double teams for a jump shot and hitting (jumpers), just squaring up. I did a lot more of that. You'll probably see a little more step-backs in there, too.\" -link\nHis teammates will also help out here, schematically, with more off-ball movement, giving Scott more options to get rid of the ball quickly. I don't see this as being a continuing problem going forward, honestly. I trust Josh to put in the work.\nOverall, I think there's a chance Josh could pop his numbers into averaging a double/double each night. The only question is minutes. While Josh is, undoubtedly, a crucial component of this team, he averaged almost 34 minutes per conference game a year ago. With more options in the paint, including a freshman bull who looks to get some run, there's a possibility that Coach Boyle may try to artificially cut back Josh's court time to keep him fresh for crunch time. Nothing dramatic, but something in the 31-32 min range. When it all boils down, however, the Buffs need everything he has to give to reach their full potential. With all he brings to the table, Boyle may just have to play him 35 minutes a night, whether he wants to or not.\nI don't want to hype this too much, but I think there's an outside chance for Scott to earn some All-American honors this year. A lot of it depends on how well the Buffs do, but he has all the tools, the peripheral numbers, and the upside to spell out a hell of a year. If that happens, this could be his last go around in Black and Gold. BuffNation, please appreciate this kid while you can!\n- Xavier Johnson, 6-7, 230 lbs, Jr from Los Angeles, CA - #2\nFrom: CBS Denver\nThe brash, flashy wing from California didn't show the massive leap forward that I had hoped for last season, but he still produced a very strong sophomore follow-up campaign, none-the-less. A full time starter in his second year, he averaged 12/6 each night, numbers which only improved as the year went on. By the time conference play hit, he was averaging nearly 14/6, and posted five games with 20 or more points. I would expect similar numbers this year, maybe with a little bump to 15/6.\nXavier brings a lot of offensive versatility to the table. He's good off the dribble, is a strong passer, shows a good shot from both long- and mid-range, can rip a few boards, and has good size. Generally a nightmare for opponents to matchup against. The only problem is that he can disappear at times, either getting caught up in foul trouble, or struggling through the occasional listless performance. It's all about consistency going forward. He takes good shots, but will he consistently make them? He will occasionally make a big play on defense, but can he put forth a solid defensive effort the entire time he's on the court? Positive answers to those questions could turn him into an All-Pac-12 performer.\nWe saw a regression in his three point shooting from a year ago - almost a guarantee with how hot he was as a freshman from behind the arc - and the free throw shooting is still below where it probably needs to be. If he can flirt with 40% from three (he shot 44% in March), I think he'd be living up to his ability. Something closer to 70% (just over 61% last year) would be appropriate from the line.\n'Big X' also enjoyed a trip to China with the Pac-12 All-Stars this summer, providing him with the same level of international experience that has served so many of the Buffs well in recent years.\nI love this picture, both for Xavier's combo look of boredom and shock, and for the fact that his CU gear pops.\nWhen it comes to questions of maturity and experience, summertime excursions, such as this, are worth their weight in gold. So far, he's been the model of consistency in practice this fall. Let's see if it continues to pay off for him.\n- Tre'Shaun Fletcher, 6-7, 210 lbs, So from Tacoma, WA - #10\nThe great untold story of January 12th, 2014 is that the Buffs didn't just lose Spencer Dinwiddie that day, they also lost Tre'Shaun for an extended period of time. Just minutes after the Mayor's injury, Fletcher was also felled by the court at Hec-Ed. He would undergo surgery shortly thereafter, and wound up missing the rest of the regular season. While he did return for postseason play, it was at reduced faculty, as the Tacoma, WA product never really got back into the flow of high-level basketball. It's a shame, but BuffNation was robbed of a great opportunity to watch Fletcher develop over the majority of Pac-12 action.\nTre'Shaun was key to depth a year ago, as his size and length were more than welcome off the bench. For a while, he was CU's 6th man, and good for a few great plays each night. The Kansas game, certainly, would've turned out quite differently without his contributions. In his absence, bench depth was brutalized, leading to many of the growing pains witnessed over the final half of January.\nLuckily, Tre'Shaun is healthy, and working to get back into his pre-injury groove. He went with Athletes in Action to Europe this summer, and has been a full participant in fall camp. CU certainly needs him on the court. While fellow sophomore Jaron Hopkins is more of a point guard, Fletcher plays as more of a combo wing, and proved to be great as a reserve option to Xavier Johnson. With his length and lefty athleticism, he adds a dimension that many of his teammates aren't able to duplicate. It's a little simplistic to just say that Fletcher is a good basketball player, but he does so many things well that it's hard to single out any one skill as his best attribute. Just know that the Buffs are glad to have him back and participating.\n- Wes Gordon, 6-9, 240 lbs, So from Colorado Springs, CO - #1\nAfter sitting out a redshirt season his first year on campus, Wes finally got a chance to shine in 2013-14. For the most part, he didn't disappoint. He would go on to start 27 of 31 games, finish 5th on the team in scoring, and display a level of defensive activity in the paint that paired very well with that of Josh Scott, getting him voted by his teammates as the best defender on the roster. From that standpoint, the young power forward is glad he spent a year in apprenticeship, saying, \"I probably wouldn't have been as successful last year because I probably wouldn't be able to guard the way I guard (now). My defense wouldn't have been there.\" The Buffs are certainly better off for it, and will have three more years of Gordon's efforts to enjoy, to boot.\nLooking to build off of that solid freshman season, Wes stayed in Boulder over the summer, working not only on the court, but in the weight room and the classroom, as well. Listed at about 15 pounds heavier than he was in '13-'14, he says \"I'm stronger, most definitely. I just tried to develop more strength and ... I think I'm in better shape than last year. This offseason was really a big benefit for me.\" That dedication could pay big dividends for his teammates, who will rely on his effort and tenacity on defense to help defend the rim. He was already hauling down six rebounds and blocking over a shot per game last season, numbers which should climb in this, his sophomore campaign.\nMore than just being a defensive presence, however, I look to Wes to develop his offensive package. As a strong offensive rebounder, he's going to be in position for plenty of put-backs, but his improving ability to take corner jumpers may open up lanes for his teammates. Combine that with his ability as a passer, and you're cooking with gas. I expect his assist totals to tick upwards, as a result.\n- Dustin Thomas, 6-7, 225 lbs, So from Texarkana, TX - #13\nThomas has a world of offensive talent at his fingertips, yet disappointed last season by posting an offensive rating in the low 80s, shooting an abysmal 18% from beyond the arc, and struggling mightily to find any sort of rhythm with the ball in his hands. It was probably unwise to expect much of him in his first year of Power 5 ball, as the kid from a small high school in East Texas was making a big jump upwards in competition. Dustin admitted as much, saying ($) \"I think last year I wanted to rush myself to be a big time player when I just needed to sit back and learn some things.\"\nSo, then, could this be the year we start to see flashes of the superlative offensive player as advertised on signing day? I certainly wouldn't bet against it. His shooting stroke is too good for smart shots not to fall this season, and his length and versatility should allow him to take advantage of frequent miss-matches. A breakout seems to be close with this kid.\nOne thing that will help is staying out of foul trouble. He had, by far, the highest foul rate on the team (6.3 per 40 minutes played), which artificially cut his playing stretches short, at times killing any generated rhythm. He seemed to try and live up to a sense of physicality as a reserve forward that just wasn't always called for. Taking a step back, and simply playing smarter, will help here.\n- Tory Miller, 6-9, 255 lbs, Fr from Kansas City, KS - #14\nBig Tory Miller is a wildcard thrown into the roster this season. I don't get the feeling that much is expected out of the Kansas City native from the fanbase, but his ability to shine - a few minutes here, a few minutes there - in relief of Scott, Gordon, and Thomas could be crucial to Colorado's ability to survive the rougher portions of the Pac-12 schedule.\nThe really intriguing thing is that Miller brings the big, wide, physical presence in the post that CU hasn't had since, who, Marcus King-Stockton? Julius Ashby? (A few names I bet you didn't think you'd see in this preview). Certainly, Coach Boyle hasn't had a player of his mold over his tenure (Damiene Cain possibly could've been), but Miller is a different sort of athlete in Black and Gold. To me, it seems that Tory was recruited with the Arizona State series in mind. We've become used to the long, athletic slashers of TadBall, now, with Tory in the fold, it's BuffNation's turn to see a bull thrown into the china shop.\nListed at 255, the freshman says hes dropped down under 240 through his first few months on campus, but that number isn't as important as the way he plays. There's raw power here - the ability to back a guy down, or push an opponent off the block. That's not to say Tory is a one-dimensional bruiser, I saw flashes of a deft touch and the beginnings of a mid-range game in his recruiting films, but his big value this first year is coming in and making the opposing centers work while the vets are grabbing rest. If he can do that, the days of the Bachynski's and Oraby's of the world taking cheap shots at CU forwards may be cut short. Like most big men, however, it's going to take some time before he gets used to playing against forwards his own size. There's going to be a steep learning curve, but look for an upswing in court sense and production as the year goes on.\nFrom: Colorado Avid Golfer\nHead Coach Tad Boyle, praise be his name, along with returning bench coaches Jean Prioleau, Mike Rohn, and Rodney Billups, continue to build one of the best programs in the region. Under Coach Boyle, the Buffs have won 65% of the time, gone to the postseason four-straight years (including an unprecedented three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances), and claimed near rock star status on campus. It may seem a little presumptive to say, and certainly the memory of the great 'Sox' Walseth looms large, but Boyle makes a strong claim to being the best coach in program history, despite only now entering his fifth season on the bench.\nThe claim isn't just merely based on his 92 wins through four seasons, it's also based in the complete and dramatic reversal of attitude and fortune in a program that was once D.O.A. on the national landscape. That qualitative about-face, still stunning to me, even as I saw the program start to take baby steps under predecessor Jeff Bzdelik, has changed the nature of sports at the University of Colorado. The fanbase is no longer one sport fluent, although many are still neophytes when it comes to the sport of basketball. There isn't a member of BuffNation today who doesn't know what #RollTad means, or look forward, in one way or another, to the start of basketball season, if only because they know that winning will soon be back in style in Boulder. It's been a revolution on the south side of campus, headlined by 'the one that got away,' a star basketball recruit who once spurned his home state school for the national powerhouse. 30 years later, he has come home and made things right. It's a wonderful, full-circle story that seems like something out of a movie.\nOver the last few years, I've used this space to try and reassure all the BasketBuffs out there that Coach Boyle wouldn't be going anywhere. It seemed like every summer one affluent program or another would be rumored to be calling Tad and offering the moon in terms of cash. This summer, however, there didn't seem to be any of the 'OH MY GOD, TAD COULD LEAVE AT ANY SECOND' panicking that had been so pervasive before. Maybe BuffNation and would-be suitors alike are getting the hint - Coach Boyle ain't going nowhere. For the record, a contract extension through 2019 is on the books, although that is mostly a formality.\nI don't know what's going on here.\nAs successful as Coach Boyle and crew have been, however, there are a few nits to pick. *dodges incoming glass bottles* Now, hold on; just because Tad is perfect in every way doesn't mean that there isn't room for the program he's building to grow. For starters, the team hasn't finished higher than 5th in any conference season since he arrived on campus. It's a hump that is both symbolic and practical that needs to be hurdled.\nThe symbol of finishing in the top-third of the Pac-12 would confirm what we've all known; that CU is a basketball program to be reckoned with. You don't back into the top-four of a league like this one, you have to earn it. Case-in-point, the last two seasons when CU went into the final day of the season just needing a win to finish above the cut line. Both times, they weren't able to finish winnable games, and wound up a disappointing fifth. Tabbed, once again, to finish in the upper echelons of the Pac-12, it's time the Buffs capitalized.\nThere are practical rewards for the achievement, as well. First and foremost, Colorado could skip the opening day of the conference tournament in Las Vegas. One extra game may not seem like much, but leap-frogging into third last March would've granted the team an extra day of rest at a critical end-of-season juncture, and saved them a lot of unnecessary effort. It would also help seeding for the real Tournament, as the extra wins required would make for a better resume.\nAdditionally, Coach Boyle's teams since his first vintage haven't been able to play fluid, appealing offense. For the last three years Colorado has finished in the mid-100s nationally in offensive efficiency. Particularly last season, if the Buffs weren't getting out on the break, they really struggled. After three years, this is a trend; there needs to be more focus placed on off-ball movement, passing, and assist ratios. What's the point of playing defense that well if you don't score enough to make it count?\nFinally, there's the little matter for the 2015 recruiting class, which remains vacant. There's still plenty of time, and a big fish looms, waiting to be caught, but this recruiting cycle has mostly been notable for the number of players that have passed on the Buffs. The program will be fine into the immediate future, but I was hoping for a more successful foray into the world of big-time recruiting.\nStill, Coach Boyle remains the best gift this program has ever received. Colorado is now even perceived as a, *gasp*, basketball school. The stadium is sold out, the fan base as engaged and passionate as ever, and the national media pays attention when CU scores come in. I only expect a continued period of high tide as the program continues to rise up the national ranks. #RollTad, indeed.\nIt seems obvious to me that there's a hierarchy of talent on this roster. The big three of Askia Booker, Josh Scott, and Xavier Johnson - highlighted by the interplay between Ski and Jelly - should dominate the stat lines and each get well over 30 minutes per game. They will be the backbone of any crunch time lineup I can think of, and are the key to the team's overall success this season. All should be in consideration for the All-Pac-12 First Team, and a special campaign from any one of these guys could make for highlight reel stuff.\nThe next tier, spots 4-8, are open to interpretation and rotation. Here we'll see players like Wesley Gordon, Xavier Talton, Jaron Hopkins, Tre'Shaun Fletcher, and Dustin Thomas. I like this group; they're still a relatively young core, with only Talton having more than a season under his belt, but they all played big minutes last year, and look to only improve going into '14-'15. This group fills out the dynamism quotient of the roster. The big three can only do so much, and at least one of these players needs to step up to 'reliable' status if the team is to hit their goals. My money is on Talton, but all five have the talent and experience to become an All-Pac-12 honorable mention-type player. As Tad said on media day, \"the 'X' factor will come off the bench.\" Even if none prove to have a special season, however, consistency from the group will be crucial.\nBehind them are the freshman wild cards. After years of needing immediate production from the freshman performers, it's actually kind of nice to play wait-and-see with the 2014 class. Not only am I not sure of what we will see from the frosh, Dominique Collier and Tory Miller, I'm not sure where their minutes will come from. The top-eight all have pretty established roles, and it might be a case where the pair of newbies need to wait for a slip-up from that group to see meaningful playing time as the season lurches towards conference play. Collier, at least, should see some action as the third or fourth choice point guard, but he'll have to fight for those minutes, especially as he hasn't been practicing this fall, due to that ankle concern.\nFinally, there's veteran role player Eli Stalzer. He will be used in specific circumstances, but won't otherwise figure to see many minutes unless something goes haywire. Not that he can't play the game, just that the other options on the roster supersede him. George King would've been slotted here, as well, had he not gone with the redshirt option\nTo me, it's a good mix. There's good depth - the team can go eight deep, with authority - and trademark versatility. Almost every one of the 12 eligible scholarship athletes can play multiple positions, and Coach Boyle should be able to get creative with the way he attacks opponents.\nI think the most interesting aspect of this roster is the heavy emphasis on veterans for the first time in years. There may only be one senior on the roster, but BuffNation will be treated to an intensely deep roster, boasting an entire compliment of bloodied vets. The fruits of the 2012 recruiting class have finally ripened, and the projected starting lineup features four from that group. In total, the team looks to send one four-year player and four three-year players out to the court to start opening night, and all but one player projected to be in the rotation has seen extended Pac-12 action. That's a very exciting luxury.\nThe quiet story of the last two years has been that underclassmen have dominated the performance load. Seniors have either been non-existent, or limited role players, which is less than ideal. Using weighted experience averages, provided by KenPom, Colorado has been in the 300s nationally in each of the last two campaigns, which is downright Caliparian. Unlike the UK Wildcats, however, CU hasn't boasted the one-and-done talents that Kentucky can reload with, leaving the team playing a little short-handed in crunch time against better, older competition. Last year was especially youth-reliant, as two straight years of large recruiting classes meant that the team averaged well under a year of experience per player, finishing 343rd in the country. This reliance on youth to power the team was also a significant factor in the less than sterling postseason runs of the last two seasons.\nThat will not be the case this year, as almost 93% of minutes played return. Not since the 2011-12 championship season, when the team averaged 1.68 years of experience, has the program had this level of veteran leadership at their finger tips, and I expect it to show. The days of a 20% turnover rate are numbered. Consistency should also follow, as the vets will not only play big minutes, but also heavily relied upon to put numbers up on the board.\nThere is a double-edge to that sword, however, as all those returners come in off of a team that was far from perfect a season ago. As Coach Boyle said on media day, last year's team was 14-2 with Spencer Dinwiddie, and 9-10 without him. It's that 9-10 team that returns, so it's that team that will have to improve. There is no magic pill to take, no 5-star recruit waiting in the wings to rescue '14-'15; they're going to have to do it themselves.\nPartially, they're going to have to do it on offense. One thing that's going to help without any artificial enhancement is a regression to the mean in jump shooting. Many of these guys are better shooters than they showed last season, when they finished 289th nationally from beyond the arc. Askia Booker isn't going to hit under 30% of his threes in his senior season, Xavier Talton should step up to take more of the attempts that Jaron Hopkins was heaving up last year, and sophomores like Tre'Shaun Fletcher and Dustin Thomas will be much more confident in using their good strokes to positive use. The team-wide 31.8% clip from beyond the arc should get much closer to the 34.5% they had two seasons ago. Smarter shots with the right players will get the team to where they need to be.\nBeyond that, however, the coaching staff seems dedicated to 'tweaking' the offense. Per Coach Boyle, \"It's nothing that's going to be a major overhaul, but we want to play faster, we want to attack the basket constantly, and obviously we've got to be able to get the ball inside to our big guys.\" The key phrases will be offensive efficiency, assist ratios, ball movement, decision making, and spacing. The idea is to always be in attack mode, and make good decisions to get teammates better shots. There's a lot of generalities there, and we've heard some of them before, but, certainly, leveraging advantages with speed will be helpful. Half court offense has never been the program's strong suit, so anything generated on the break, or even shortly thereafter, will help. It's where the value of versatile, lengthy players shows itself best, afterall.\nGenerally, I look for the Buffs to have a plan on offense this year. At times in '13-'14, they seemed to wait for something special to happen. If it didn't, they were screwed. More movement and urgency with the basketball will help create chances out of the half-court set, and save some pain. At the end of the day, it's all about generating good shots for the players to take. I've seen them make them in the past, so a few schematic tweaks may be all that's needed. A little can sometimes go a long way...\nThe only worry here is how the veterans will take to pushing the tempo. To date, at least according to the ever-critical Coach Boyle, it sounds like turnovers are still an issue. After the recent scrimmage with DU, Boyle expressed as much, saying \"Our guys are trying to make it happen after the first attack. Just get it moved and the second attack will happen. The third attack, we're going to get whatever we want, but it never gets there because we're turning it over; we're making bad decisions before we even get to that point.\" Because, of course, taking care of the basketball is critical. On media day, Coach made the wry comment that the team's ratio last season was nothing to write home about. That's sort of the understatement of the century. CU finished 296th nationally in A:T ratio in '13-'14, 247th in assist to made field goal ratio; both were dead last in the Pac-12. Last year's team simply did not value possessions and share the ball enough. They did not make the good decisions required to get teammates into good positions to score. Improving here will make the team more efficient, along with making them easier to watch. Essentially, take care of the ball long enough to let your offense work for you.\nThat only leaves the defense, which took a a few steps back last season. They were 150th nationally in field goal percentage defense, which is a stat that Coach Boyle preaches like it came down with Moses from Mount Sinai. More holistically, they were in the top-50 nationally in defensive efficiency, but the point remains that the 2013-14 team was the softest defensive squad in Boulder since the 2010-11 team that couldn't guard anybody.\nThere was a reason for that; by the end of the season, the defense didn't know who to turn to for a stop at vital moments. More worryingly, the sense I get is that they still don't know. Who will be the Cory Higgins, the Andre Roberson, the Spencer Dinwiddie - the defensive dynamo tasked with stopping the other team's best? Coach Boyle was very public with his frustration from a lack of an answer to that question last week. He knows he has some good defenders on the current squad, but doesn't see anyone with the mentality to step up. \"If we had a player that walked in my office and said, 'Coach, I'll do whatever you want defensively; put me on the best offensive player on the other team, give me a shot,' that dude would be playing 30 minutes a game and probably start. [...] I haven't had one player do that.\"\nThat doesn't mean someone won't step up, however. Players like Jaron Hopkins and Tre'Shaun Fletcher certainly have the size and ability to guard a whole host of opponents. Hopkins, especially, fell into something loosely resembling that role last season, meaning my initial instinct is that he will again assume that mantle in '14-'15. But, assumptions only get you so far, and it remains a question mark, the answer to which could have a lot to say on the final win-loss record of this team.\nI'm still, however, much more concerned about the state of the offense. As coach Boyle said emphatically last week, 'we WILL guard.' Tad will do as Tad does, after all (the Tad abides). I expect that the defense will shake itself out; the whole matter of scoring, efficiently, is the trickier question to answer. We'll see...\nThe Buffs have made the last two Tournaments based on their success in non-conference play. Not only has the coaching staff put together tough schedules, but the team has followed through with taking care of business in November and December. The program has gone 21-4 the last two years in the early going, which has made up for just above average runs through the Pac-12. They need to do the same this year if they plan to get back into the Dance for a fourth-straight season. Energy and effort will be the call from this Friday through Christmas Day.\n11/14 - Drexel - Boulder, CO\n11/17 - Auburn - Boulder, CO (part of ESPN's Tip-Off Marathon)\n11/22 - Wyoming - Laramie, WY\n11/25 - Air Force - Boulder, CO\n11/30 - Lipscomb - Boulder, CO\n12/3 - San Francisco - Boulder, CO\n12/7 - Georgia - Athens, GA\n12/13 - Northern Colorado - Boulder, CO\n12/22 - DePaul - Honolulu, HI (Diamondhead Classic)\n12/23 - George Washington/Ohio - Honolulu, HI (Diamondhead Classic)\n12/25 - Loyola Marymount/Wichita State/Nebraska/Hawai'i - Honolulu, HI (Diamondhead Classic)\nYou think people lie in recruiting, they lie in scheduling more - Tad Boyle\nThere's a certain truth to that statement; year-in, year-out, coaches say they want to challenge their teams against the best in the nation, but usually find a way to avoid really stretching themselves. Coaches 'want' to play the big teams in showpiece events, just never in their opponent's gym. After last year, when CU clipped Kansas on national television, you can bet it'll be a cold day in Jayhawk hell before they ever climb back up to 5,345 of Rocky Mountain high altitude again. Oh, I'm sure Bill Self would graciously host Colorado one more time, but the return ain't happening. The word is out, Boulder is a place where pristine non-conference records go to die.\nSo, the Buffs face the interesting challenge of building a reasonable, home-based schedule without anyone of note wanting to enter into a home-and-home with them. Sure, Coach Boyle could book the team for something ludicrous, like a single trip to Lexington or Chapel Hill, but that's not going to help the current group out any, and a one-off like that won't fill the coffers like a home game would. Therefore, it's down to teams in the RPI 50-150 to build the schedule; i.e., teams just desperate enough for their own RPI boost to risk the trip to the CEC. Coach Boyle has done a good job of looking to this pool to fill out the schedule, to the point that, should the team draw Wichita State in Honolulu, there's a good change that this non-con slate will actually rank higher in the RPI charts that the star-studded grouping of a year ago.\nSeriously, while there aren't the Baylor's and Oklahoma State's of the world on the docket, only three teams on this schedule featured in the RPI 200+ last season (AF, Lipscomb, and UNC). Two of those games are local-interest tilts, and the other is pure schedule filler meant to keep the team in rhythm - a necessary evil, and not uncommon. While names like Drexel, San Francisco, Georgia, and the GW/Ohio possibilities in Honolulu might not lift many skirts, they are solid teams who have decent shots of re-appearing in the RPI top-100 this season. If Auburn can manage to do anything in the first year under Bruce Pearl, the profile only gets better.\nOf course, that means that, while the opponents may not have name recognition, they're all sneaky dangerous. That opening stretch - against gritty mid-major power Drexel, enlivened Auburn (after everyone's bed time, no less), and at program bugaboo Wyoming - is particularly difficult. Colorado could lose any of, if not multiple, of those games if they don't get a good kick out of the gate. The final two games of November are significantly easier, but they only lead into another tricky stretch, featuring the first trip out of the Mountain time zone to Athens, GA, and a visit from little brother.\nHowever, the most interesting portion of the schedule for me is the trip to Honolulu and the Diamondhead Classic. Not just that I'm going to be there myself (*cough*), but there's a lot of enticing combinations to come out of that mix, and a good chance that CU will face two Tournament teams while on Oahu. To my mind, Colorado should be able to at least make the championship game, potentially facing off against old rival Nebraska for the first time since the breakup of the Big XII (who will be real good this winter). Regardless, the results from the Islands will tell us a lot about this team.\nOverall, the assumption here is a bare minimum of 10-2 on the plane ride back from Hawai'i. Let's say a loss up in Laramie (again), and reasonable defeat in the Classic's title game. Any worse than that, and it'll take some extra work in Pac-12 play to make it back to the Tournament.\n1/2 - UCLA - Boulder, CO\n1/4 - USC - Boulder, CO\n1/15 - Arizona - Tucson, AZ\n1/17 - Arizona State - Tempe, AZ\n1/22 - Washington - Boulder, CO\n1/29 - USC - Los Angeles, CA\n1/31 - UCLA - Los Angeles, CA\n2/7 - Utah - Boulder, CO\n2/12 - California - Boulder, CO\n2/15 - Stanford - Boulder, CO\n2/26 - Arizona - Boulder, CO\n3/1 - Arizona State - Boulder, CO\n3/5 - Washington - Seattle, WA\n3/7 - Washington State - Pullman, WA\nOff the top, the Buffs don't get to play host to the Oregon Schools, and don't get to make the trip to the Bay Area. It's a shame, that, as the UO series, particularly, has been good for Colorado (now up to 5-1 vs the transfer melange from Eugene), and the San Francisco swing had been the site of some very meaningful games over the last three seasons. Additionally, the home UCLA game is over Winter Break, so the students will be gone.\nSpeaking of the opening weeks, playing the Bruins - a team the Buffs have never beaten - in a deadened gym before traveling to Utah and Arizona is a death sentence. Whoever dreamed up the Colorado going from SLC to Tucson is now on my shit list. As a result, CU could very well start conference play out 1-3 or even 1-4, ending any hopeful discussion of a league title before it even starts.\nAt least it gets better after that, as CU should start to take advantage of the weaker teams in the league. I would expect that the Buffs can get the double over the Washingtons before heading out to Los Angeles. With at least a split there, the team should be near .500 entering a hyper-critical homestand against Utah and the NorCal group. Those three games, win or lose - particularly the tilt with the Utes - could make or break the season.\nDown the stretch, I like Colorado to finish strong, as both of the Pacific Northwest swings should bear fruit. Yes, the team will finish with four of six on the road, but they're all winnable games. Sandwiched around the visits from Arizona and ASU, the veteran Buffs should be able to steal some wins from the visiting locker room. A strong road finish, or a makeup win over the Wildcats, will be the key to finally breaking into the top-4 of the Pac-12, and back into the Dance.\nOverall, I'm looking for seven home wins and around four from the road as the baseline; another 11-7 campaign (for those keeping track, that means I'm expecting at least 22-9 this season). The key, once again, will be how the team performs on the road. Since joining the Pac-12, as good as they've been at home, the Buffs have been sub-par out and about. 10-17 as the visitor over three seasons, particularly, is the reason CU hasn't been able to get over the hump and into a first round bye in Las Vegas. Sure, they're going to lose in Tucson, but a statement win over a team like ASU or UCLA could go a long way here. If the veteran Buffs can edge towards .500 away from home, BuffNation could be in for a treat.\nBetween those who graduated, those who turned pro early, and those who 'decided' *cough* to leave their respective schools for other opportunities, only three of the 10-member 2014 All-Pac-12 First Team (and only one of the five-member Second Team) have returned for 2015. (Counting Josh Scott, the other two are Delon Wright from Utah and Chasson Randle from Stanford.) No wonder public perception of this league has plummeted. Only four teams - Arizona (#2), Utah (#25), Stanford (#26), and Colorado (#28) - appear in the initial AP top-25 poll, a step down from last year's six. Notice who those teams are: perennial power Arizona, and the teams featuring those three returning all-conference players. Not that this dip in expectation isn't expected, it's bound to happen when nine players are taken in the NBA Draft. The media isn't stupid, they follow the talent, and it left this league in a hurry.\nI'm leaning towards accepted convention here, and I expect a step backwards from the league that was as strong as any a year ago. No, it's not going to be anything like 2012, when the Conference of Champions was lucky to get two teams into the Dance, but still a marked reversal of fortune from third in conference RPI in '13-'14. The Pac-12 started with six teams receiving votes last season, and, not inconsequentially, six were selected for the NCAA Tournament. Likewise, I'm expecting this to be a four-bid league in 2014-15, as the remaining eight look to be stuck in the rebuilding phase.\nRoster turnover has hit everyone but Utah and Colorado pretty hard. Only six teams return three or more starters. Arizona, UCLA, Stanford, ASU, Oregon State, and Oregon were especially brutalized by offseason moves, and, while the Wildcats survive thanks to stellar recruiting, I could see each of the others struggling to regain traction this winter. The bottom-four of this conference, especially, should be very soft.\nThere are also three new coaches to consider this season, as, along with the retirement of the legendary Mike Montgomery, the likes of Ken Bone and Craig Robinson have left us. Quick reaction: Washington State should improve under Ernie Kent, but I'm not sold on Cuonzo Martin at Cal, and Oregon State is a dumpster fire, even if Wayne Tinkle is the goods.\nThis is why it's so important that teams like Colorado and Utah capitalize on their returning depth. With the rest of the league (sans Arizona) taking a year to re-form and reassess, there's an opportunity to stake an extended claim for territory at the top of the conference. There's no reason either of those teams shouldn't finish in the top-four; in fact, it'd be a minor shock if they didn't finish solidly in the top-three.\n8 - ASU\n9 - Washington State\n10 - Oregon\n11 - USC\nG - Chasson Randle - Stanford\nG - Delon Wright - Utah (Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year)\nF - Stanley Johnson - Arizona (Newcomer of the Year)\nF - Rondae Hollis-Jefferson - Arizona\nF - Josh Scott - Colorado\nThe Giant Death Robot ran out of juice in overtime of the Elite Eight last season, and then lost their two best players to the NBA Draft. Life in basketball-rich Tucson, however, doesn't leave much room for dwelling on could'a, should'a. They've re-tooled quickly for this season, and are once again an odds-on favorite for a league crown and a trip to the Final Four. Death, Taxes, and strong 'Zona hoops; Sean Miller has re-built this program into a perennial monster.\nIt's a testament to the recruiting job that Miller has been doing that, despite losing both an All-American and the number four player in the NBA Draft, they're still ridiculously deep and talented. There are four high school All-Americans on the roster, along with a one-time JuCo player of the year. There is no one on the West Coast who can match up with them in terms of raw talent. No one.\nStanley Johnson will be a difference maker in the desert.\nStanley Johnson, the #3 recruit in the country, according to Rivals, steps into the scoring role, and will be the flashy power behind their attack. He should pair well with returning power forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Oh, and don't forget Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski. There are no points up the middle against these guys, just none. They were frighteningly strong last season on defense - hence the GDR nickname - and should be nearly as stout against opposing scorers this fall. If you crack 70 against them, take a photo of the score sheet, and put it on the front page of the student newspaper.\nThe key to their success, both last year and this upcoming one, however, is point guard TJ McConnell. Coach Miller, himself once a gritty point from Pittsburgh, looked for a similar mold to lead his team, and found exactly what he was looking for in McConnell. TJ may not lead the nation in any statistical category - although his assist numbers are real spicy - but the importance of his ability to meter out the ball in this team of high-caliber talents cannot be measured. Every great team needs a great point guard, and the Wildcats have that in spades with the senior McConnell.\nWinning the league for a third straight year should not be an issue for them. The Pac-12 tournament, something they haven't won since 2002, may be a different issue, however, as they've made a habit of choking in LA and Vegas. Just saying.\nWhy, OH WHY, did Jahii Carson decide to declare for the NBA draft? After not getting picked and failing to find a team after work in the NBA's summer league, he's now plying his trade with the Wollongong Hawks of the Australian NBL. I mean, sure, going to class sucks, and bills have to be paid, but, damn, that decision looks suspect in hindsight. No offense meant to Australian basketball, of course.\nWith Jahii on the other side of the world, the Sun Devils will struggle.\nHis departure leaves the fight'n' Sendek's severely under-powered. Along with the graduations of hulking galoot Jordan Bachynski (good riddance, Lurch) and the underrated Jermaine Marshall, they've lost most of what made them a Tournament team last season. Those three made up about 64% of their scoring in '13-'14, which will be hard to replace.\nCoach Sendek has responded by bringing in a slew of JuCo talents, but it's anyone's guess as to how they'll meld to form a team by the time January rolls around.\nThe retirement of Mike Montgomery leaves a massive hole on the bench in Berkeley. Enter: Cuonzo Martin, who did a lot of good at the University of Tennessee, trying to pick up the pieces after Bruce Pearl was slapped with a show-cause penalty from the NCAA for a number of recruiting violations. He won 63 games in three seasons in Knoxville, culminating with a trip to the Sweet Sixteen last March, which is pretty damn good. But the fanbase in Knoxville never took to him - even starting an online petition to have him removed last February - and he, rightly, bolted after his successful run in the Dance. Certainly he has the credentials, but winning in the SEC isn't exactly difficult, and I have a lot of questions about how the Midwestern lifer will transition to coaching on the West Coast.\nMartin is an interesting choice for Cal\nAccordingly, I really don't know what to think about the Bears this season. The graduations of Justin Cobbs and Richard Solomon will hurt. I really like Tyrone Wallace, and David Kravish is a nice interior piece, but I was never sold on the likes of Jabari Bird and Jordan Matthewes. At least they're clear Pac-12 talents, though. After their starting five, there's not much on the bench, and this team could struggle later in the year as fatigue catches up.\nThe 2014-15 Ducks will be defined by the choices of players that won't be with the team this fall. It's bad enough that the team will be trying to make up for the fact that they lost Richard Amardi, Waverly Austin, Jason Calliste, Jonathan Loyd, and Mike Moser to graduation, but they've also been hamstrung by a number of departures for other reasons.\nFirst, there are the transfers - outbound ones, this time; Ben Carter and A.J. Lapray have gone in search of greener pastures. There's also one big time recruit, JaQuan Lyle, who won't be joinging the program this fall, and another, Ray Kasongo, who was denied admission. Then, there's the case of Damyean Dotson, Dominic Artis, and Brandon Austin; a core that was expected to keep them rolling after a Sweet Sixteen appearance, but who were caught up in a rape investigation, and dismissed from the program. Two more players, Elgin Cook and Jalil Abdul-Bassit, were arrested for shoplifting this summer, and also may miss some time this fall.\nFunny what happens when you never get around to actually building your program.\nThat makes a total of fourteen fucking guys who have come and gone, or are otherwise not available for portions of this season. FOURTEEN... with a -teen! Even for a program that is comfortable with being a hybrid of roster turnover, like UO is, that's bizarrely laughable. At one point this summer, they were down to 10 scholarship players. If Cook and Abdul-Bassit miss some time, they've down to eight. Can you even call that a 'program' any more? It's probably more apt to call them a collection of random dudes and Joe Young.\nThe Ducks will struggle this year, as a result. Young is a fantastic two-guard, probably All-Conference capable, but he can only do so much. If they finish at or above .500, it'll be a win. I hope Coach Altman enjoys the bed he's made for himself.\nEven more roster turnover here, as Roberto Nelson and Devon Collier graduated, Eric Moreland declared for the NBA draft, and Hallice Cooke transferred to Iowa State. Langston Morris-Walker is the only remaining start from last season, and what's in place around him ain't all that great. Expectations aren't much higher than the league basement, even for those Beaver diehards.\nIt's the Wayne Tinkle era in Corvallis\nIt's into that dire outlook that newly minted head coach Wayne Tinkle (he-he) steps in. It won't be easy, and, even though he's a good coach, it's hard for me to see them doing anything but finish dead last this season. Luckily for him, however, he's lined up a strong recruiting class for next fall, making the way forward much more clear.\nDawkins survives! The Anne and Tony Joseph Director of Men's Basketball saved his job by turning a boatload of veteran talent into an above average season and a miracle trip to the Sweet Sixteen. Now, with a new lease on life in Palo Alto - and a new contract extension in his back pocket - he's looking to get back to the Dance at the head of one of the few teams in the league capable of dealing with all the offseason roster turnover.\nThe Cardinal, much like everyone else, lost some big pieces from last years team, as personal favorite Josh Huestis and All-Pac-12 performer Dwight Powell both graduated into the NBA, while Aaron Bright and John Gage just graduated. But they return one of the league's best, Chasson Randle, and the inside-outside duo of Stefan Nastic and Anthony Brown. If they get even a little out of McDonald's All-American Reid Travis, they should be just fine.\nChasson is one of the league's best.\nThe trick, then, is where do you place them on your conference breakdown. Randle is legit, and he has enough around him to clean through some of the weaker teams on their schedule. The Cardinal also catch a break by only having to play Colorado and Utah once. Overall, I see them as just a step below the ski schools, but, if Randle gets next-level hot in February, they could finish as high as second in a down Pac-12.\nOnly Norman Powell remains from last year's top six performers. The ever consistent Wear twins graduated, and three flashy underclassmen - Kyle Anderson, Jordan Adams, and Zach LaVine - were drafted into the NBA. That's already a prodigious amount of talent to lose, particularly Anderson, who was the most unique collegiate talent I've ever seen. Throw in the ineligibility of top-50 recruit Jonah Bolden, and the inability to get CSU transfer Jon Octeus through admissions, and the Bruins are a little undermanned this year. Not Oregon undermanned, but still far from their peak.\nMost of these guys are gone\nIt's really anyone's guess how the Steve Alford regime will weather the roster turnover. While it helps that he hauled in a top-10 recruiting class, even that has lost its luster in the wake of the Bolden news. Still, the additions of Kevon Looney and Thomas Welsh (a one-time CU target), along with the fresh eligibility of transfer Isaac Hamilton, will help. As always, there remains a lot of talent in Westwood, particularly in the starting five, but also a lot of questions.\nIf I had to put in a guess, I'll say they'll find a way to make it work, probably even claiming a bunch of big wins both in conference and out along the way. But, they'll also lose a few games that leave you scratching your head (I envision Joe Young going off for 40 in Pauley). They're young, inexperienced, and capable of pretty much anything. I said 5th, more as a shrug of the shoulders, but they could finish either much higher or much lower.\nIt's another rebuilding year in University Park. The frustrating JT Terrell, the inconsistent Pe'Shon Howard, and the underrated Omar Oraby all graduated. Oh, and the team's best player, Byron Wesley, transferred to Gonzaga. That doesn't leave much talent left for the still struggling program; in fact, they lost around 70% of their scoring from a season ago. Not good.\nBut the fight'n' DJ MAL-SKI's have a lot of youth at their disposal, and Andy Enfield finally got his point guard in the form of Jordan McLaughlin, interstingly, chose the Trojans over UCLA. Enfield is looking to build the program around the young point, and he'll certainly get his chance.\nMcLaughlin could be key to a reversal of fortunes at USC\nI like the upgrade, at least from the standpoint that the up-tempo style that the Dunk City stylist employs needs a guiding hand on the floor to run it properly. Having Pe'Shon Howard run Andy Enfield's system is like buying a Ferrari and putting a Dodge transmission in it. Sure, the parts all line up, and there's a lot of power, but it's not finding its way from the engine onto the road. McLaughlin, even as a freshman, should be in a much better position to turn that raw power into points on the scoreboard. Maybe not wins, yet, but certainly something that more closely resembles entertaining basketball.\nIt's hard not to get caught up in the Utah story. Three years ago, they were possibly the worst team in the history of power five basketball. Now, they enter the 2014-15 season as an odds on favorite to make the NCAA Tournament, and finish in the top-quarter of the Pac-12.\nSo, just where exactly did they Utes come from? How are they suddenly a relevant program again? It all comes down to the emergence of do-it-all Delon Wright as one of the best players in all of college basketball. Sure, they return a lot of production (essentially everyone is back from last season's squad), and the trio of Jordan Loveridge, Brandon Taylor, and Dakarai Tucker are nice complimentary pieces, but Wright is the end-all-be-all focus of this roster, and with good reason. He averaged 16/7/5/3 last season, featuring in the top-100 nationally in minute rate, true shooting percentage, assist rate, and steal rate. He's a prolific finisher at the rim, and is deadly at almost every phase of the game (expect three point shooting, where he only hit 22% of his attempts last year). If it's to be believed, he's supposed to have an even better season this winter, possibly even posting a historically high value added rating. If he figures out his outside jumper, then it becomes absolutely unfair.\nWright is on another level\nIt also helps that the Utes have finally solved their RPI issues, as they added San Diego State, UNLV, Wichita State, and friggin' Kansas to their non-conference schedule, which had been, until now, a centralized cupcake distribution center. It was that over-soft schedule that kept them from the Dance last season; as long as they take care of business in one or two of those high-profile tilts, they should be just fine.\nI continue to not care about Washington in the slightest. I just don't find this program interesting. Maybe it's the inability to secure home-grown talent that goes on to succeed elsewhere, or maybe it's that Coach Lorenzo Romar has been there too long to make them sexy. Maybe it's just that I've caught them at a bad time over the last two years, and a deeper appreciation of their decade-long trends would fill me with fire. Either way, I just can't get my blood up about these guys, one way or the other.\nWilliams-Goss leads the way in Seattle\nThat said, they could be pretty decent this season. Nigel Williams-Goss and Andrew Andrews form a brilliant backcourt pair, and Shawn Kemp, Jr. looks to blossom in this, his final year in Seattle. Still, I don't foresee a Tournament bid, and I generally expect them to get lost in the mid-table shuffle. Prove me wrong, I guess, but I don't think I'll end up noticing.\nOut in Pullman, there's DaVonte Lacy and Que Johnson... and not much else. Talent issues aside, however, they return almost everyone (D.J. Shelton, a fantastic rebounder graduated), and Lacy and Johnson are damn good scoring options off the wing. The problem is, I don't know who gets those two the ball. Last season, that job belonged to Royce Woolridge, but he pulled a Jeremy Adams, and transferred to Grand Canyon University in Arizona. The answer seems to be sophomore Ike Iroegbu, but I wonder if he's up to the task.\nCoach Kent is back on the sidelines\nThat's the roster situation that new head coach Ernie Kent steps into. The story of this season for the Cougars will be mostly about how Kent, the former Oregon head coach and TV commentator, re-envelops himself in the coaching life. Coach Kent was known for a fast, efficient offense while at Oregon, and he certainly has the key pieces to put points on the board this winter. That point guard situation, however, may keep them from really capitalizing.\nLast year, the team only hit two and a half of my seven goals. They beat Kansas (spectacularly, I might add), and earned a top-eight seed in the Tournament. Beyond that, however, they failed to beat Baylor, go undefeated at home (lost twice), earn a first round bye in the Pac-12 tournament, or earn their way into the Sweet Sixteen. Oh, and Spencer Dinwiddie slipped to the second round of the NBA Draft.\nIt's misses on benchmark goals like these that made last season so frustrating. Those seven were aggressive, but, with the talent on hand, CU should've hit more of them. You don't start looking backwards, however, just because the returns came in a little short of your expectations. As such, my goals for this season are just as aggressive. It's what I would expect from a team with this much returning talent. There are some givens that I won't mention: a fifth-consecutive 20-win season and postseason appearance, but the following seven items are the juice that could take this year from being just another solid season into truly special territory.\n#1 - Run the table in non-conference play\nI said aggressive, and it doesn't get much more aggressive than this. CU has finished with two non-conference losses in each of their last two seasons; it's time to knock that two down to a zero. The schedule won't make it easy. While there aren't many big names on the slate, it is deep with mid-table teams who can win tough ballgames, and the few road trips are far from gimmies. The biggest impediments to this goal are the start, particularly the trip to an underrated Wyoming, and the non-conference tournament. Should the Buffs claim this, however, we're already looking at a special season.\n#2 - Win the Diamondhead Classic\nRelated, it'd be nice for the team to earn a non-conference tournament trophy again. Even if they trip up somewhere else along the way through the non-con schedule, I'd like to see the team come back from the Islands with some hardware. They should be able to at least make the final, beating the DePaul Blue Demons and the winner of George Washington/Ohio battle (most likely GW).\nThe most difficult part of this goal will be beating the winner of Nebraska and Wichita State. It's an assumption that those are the teams that will be advancing, but it's a safe one. Both will be fielding strong squads this winter, signified by the fact that they're both in the AP top-25 to start the year. Earning the 'W' over either will be a tough challenge, but it'd set a strong tone headed into conference play.\n#3 - A perfect home record\nAgain, very aggressive. Not only are there a few tricky home non-conference games (Drexel, Auburn, CSU), but the conference slate poses a number of potential losses. Particularly, games against UCLA (before the students are back from break), Utah, and Arizona, are road blocks. But, CU has built the reputation of being strong at the Coors Events Center, and it's high time that the team proves it by pitching a shutout at home.\n#4 - Above .500 on the road in conference play\nColorado Basketball hasn't finished at or over .500 on the road in conference play since the Chauncey Billups-fueled '96-'97 season. With the veteran depth at their disposal this winter, and a down Pac-12, that streak could be coming to an end.\nBy my estimation, the best pickup opportunities away from home are at Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, Arizona State, and USC. You could also make the case that the game at Washington is winnable, but those are the most likely, in terms of caliber of the opponent. Wins against that group would go a long way to covering up any schedule blemishes produced along the way, and set a new standard for the program.\n#5 - Make the final of the Pac-12 tournament\nThe Buffs haven't done this since the magical run to the title in 2012. It hasn't helped their cause that they keep falling below the top-4 bye cutoff. That's where meeting this goal starts: they have to finish in the top four, both for program development reasons, and to make their route to the championship game as short as possible.\nThe other aspect is that just sneaking above that cut-line isn't all that much better; Colorado needs to clear it easily. The reason is, you don't want to play Arizona until you absolutely have to. Assuming the 'Cats don't implode, and do go on to win the league title, they'd be the semi-final mathcup for whoever finishes in fourth. If the Buffs are going to play the UofA in Vegas, I want it to be with a championship on the line. Therefore, CU needs to finish either second or third in the Pac-12. As strong as the Utes or the Cardinal are, I'd much rather play them on semi-final Friday than the Wildcats.\n#6 - Win at least one game in the NCAA Tournament\nRecent Tournament losses to Illinois and Pittsburgh stick in my craw. Colorado had a pretty good shot to beat the Illini in 2013, and the famous loss to the Panthers last March was just embarrassing. The talent level in this program is just too high to keep dropping chances like these. Now, with some veteran leadership at their disposal, Coach Boyle and crew should have a much better chance of getting over the first day hump. March was made for upperclassmen, after all.\nThe trick here is not only making the Dance, but doing so in a position that will allow you to play a beatable team in the second round. Staying off the 8/9 lines is imperative. I'd much rather seethe Buffs earn a 6- or 7-seed (or even a 10 or 11-seed) than play in that game again. Not only are the 8/9 games crapshoots, but the winner's reward is a date with a 1-seed. No, thank you.\n#7 - Askia Booker finishes with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 100 steals for his career\nFriend of the blog @CUGoose brought this up on AllBuffs a while back, but, with a strong senior season, Ski could join a club that only counts three members - Donnie Boyce, Cory Higgins, and Richard Roby. In addition to, more than likely, finishing as the school's all-time leader in wins (not to mention Tournament appearances), Booker has the opportunity to stake his claim as one of the best players to ever don the Black and Gold. It'll take some work, particularly in the rebounding category, but I won't put anything past this kid.\nAt the end of the day, you have to earn everything you get at this level. No teams are going to feel sorry for you when difficulty arises. That's the real lesson that the team learned last season. At some point this winter, something will go wrong. Someone will get hurt, a call won't go their way, or a deflating mistake will get made. In response, Colorado has to take their experience from last year, and turn it into a fire that burns away the distractions and the negative thoughts, so that they can fight through the bad times. The talent is there, the coaching is there, the will is there - now it's all about executing for a full season.\nI know the Buffs are far from a sure thing in 2014-15. There are numerous question marks in terms of the offense, I'm not 100% positive that the point guard situation will be solved in convincing fashion, and it'd be nice to be headed into the season knowing who your best defender is. But the year just sets up too nicely for Colorado for me to predict a step backwards. Essentially the entire team returns, the non-conference schedule, while certainly difficult, doesn't pose the individual challenges that last year's did, and many teams in the Pac-12 will be markedly worse than they were in '13-'14. That's a recipe for success, even on a basic level.\nThe question then becomes, just how good of a season are we talking? Well, a lot of that depends on the big three - Askia Booker, Josh Scott, and Xavier Johnson. If those three all have special seasons, then CU should hit all of the above goals, and everything is sunshine and roses. If they all slump, then the team will disappoint; it's that simple. This particularly hinges on Booker - if he struggles with his role and his leadership, then the team will be in trouble; if he has a thunderous final tour in Boulder, we're all in for a treat. As Ski goes, the team goes.\nSo, the word this all boils down to is 'potential.' CU has it in spades, but can they capitalize on it? I'm going to say yes. The team leverages their advantages, smooths out the bumps, and cobbles together enough of an offensive identity to make their defense stick. Oh, and the Buffs get just enough of 'good Ski' to make his senior season a happy one. Give me the over on 22 wins, and strong yes on the Tournament question.\nEither way, I can't wait for Friday. It's been too long since I've been in that gym, feeling the electricity of a Ball Night. Strike up the band, peel back the curtain, and let the games begin.\nLabels: 2014-15 Basketball Season, Basketball, CU, Overwrought Analysis, Season Previews\nbuffnik said...\nThe best preview of the Buffs every year.\nNo one else comes close... and that's a high bar with some of the other bloggers and writers in our CU fan community.\nThank you, Rumblin, for another exceptional effort!\nOutstanding preview. A couple quick comments on your post and the upcoming season. I agree that Washington fails to stir the imagination. The only thing I have to say to Lorenzo Romar is, \"Figure out a way to maintain your gym floor.\"\nAnkle or no ankle, don't sleep on Dom Collier. I don't care if he is smallish still, he has the moxy and the wheels and the passing ability to take us places. I also feel like Xavier Johnson is going to challenge Josh Scott for the scoring lead. He seems like a different athlete this year - faster, more determined.\nThanks again, Rumblin'! See you Friday.\nThe Ghost of Marv said...\nWhat do you mean we'll be playing UCLA in a deadened gym?\nReally outstanding preview. This is a season opening tradition -- keep up the good work!\nRumblinBuff said...\nMarv - Students will still be on break, atmosphere is usually lessened without the kids. Was two years ago when we played the Bruins.\nIt won't be AS crazy, but from my experience during the Oregon game last year you can still have a good crowd during winter break. It'll still be sold out or pretty close to it. Awesome preview by the way.\nI loved this preview! Well thought out and in depth. I do, however, disagree with you on your write up of Brett Brady. He's not only a 3 point sharp shooter, he's a great defensive player, as well as a play maker. He's not selfish like so many other players on the court and will always make the right play. Do you know he won a Silver medal in Spain with the US Olympic 3 on 3 tournament? He played with guys like Ronday Jefferson- now a player at University of Arizona. If he can compete with guys like that from all over the world, I think he can compete with some of the best players on this team.",

        "raw_content": "Posted by The Hollingers at 5:28 PM 4 comments:\nWow... what a response to my Blog from last night... over 650 page views out of nowhere... Thanks for many nice comments in regards to my past Blogs. It is something I enjoyed doing.\nI have had multiple requests already to continue on with some form of Blogging, built around our new life, and of course our great Grand Children. What a bunch they are turning into!\nThis will be taken into consideration. I will take a bit of time off, and then decide if I can continue under some different format. Never say never I guess...\nOnce again, thanks readers...we will see you in Blogland!\nWell, it has been a great ride!\nYesterday in the blog, I alluded to the fact that a lot has been happening this summer. Well, there sure has, and I am not quite sure where to start, but we will give it a go.\nA couple weeks ago, Judy took on the task of arranging our out of Country Travel Insurance for this coming winter. Houston, we have a problem! On April 6, this year, I celebrated my 10th anniversary of living with a triple heart by-pass. The good news is my health is fantastic, and I have never really felt better. The bad news is, of course, the Insurance Companies don't really like me anymore. Judy and I paid about $1,500.00 last year for our Insurance, and the same Insurance companies want $5,000.00 this year for the same coverage. Hard to swallow in one bite!\nIn years to come, the Insurance will only get worse for us, as we age, and run into medical problems.\nSo, an executive decision had to be made about our future. We have been fulltiming for 6 years now, and have enjoyed every minute of it! However, it is coming to an end, as we decided to make the transition back to a more normal type of life, if you want to call it that. RVlifeonwheels will no longer be rolling down the highways and bi-ways of North America.\nSo John, you might ask... WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW? Well, as it turns out, we have been busy for a reason these past few weeks. Once Judy and I make a decision, there is no turning back... we only look forward, and get on with it! In the past couple weeks we have made arrangements for a nice unit in Lakeview Estates, in Woodstock.\nWe will enjoy a nice view of Lake Pittock in Town, as we sit out on the balcony of our unit. These units are very nice, 1,286 square feet, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, a nice storage room, with a full laundry service inside the unit, a big eat in kitchen, along with a big living room with a formal dining room attached. You get to control your central heating and air conditioning. We will be able to keep the Cruze snow free, as it will be in the underground parking, and we will be able to entertain our Grand Kids at the attached salt water swimming pool / sauna / whirlpool / gym facilities. Life will be good.\nThe only problem is at this point in time, we do not know if we will gain possession on August 1st or September 1st. Should know in the next couple days.\nNow, hang on to your seat! We have sold our Gulf Stream Endura! This happened in just the last few days. It was very unexpected, but it happened. Judy and I are thrilled at the deal in place, and it is going to close this coming Thursday. Now, you may see our next problem! As we sell the Coach this Thursday, we do not have anywhere to live. Good thing they have some nice motels in Town. We will take up residence at the local Days Inn, until we are able to gain possession of the unit.\nJudy is away this week, visiting with her Brother, so I have been in charge of packing up the Coach. Do you know how much stuff we had in here??? Hard to believe. However, I am almost there. I go to pick Judy up this coming Wednesday, and then sell the Coach on Thursday. Phew...\nNow here is a happy type problem I guess. Judy and I do not even own a chair to put in the new digs. So, we have some serious shopping to do very soon, as we will totally equip our new home with all new furniture. I have been personally put in charge of arranging the Audio/visual components, which has been a burden, as I try to figure out what I (want/need/can get away with...) The new 55 inch Ultra High Definition Sets are very tempting and seem to be calling me... (Can you spell H-O-C-K-E-Y) Just researching new Audio Sound Bars with Sub-Woofers to provide the required sound. (Arrggg Arrggg...) Oh ya, I think we are going to get some real furniture too...\nSo there you go... what a change it will be for us. As I look back, it has been a blast. 6 years of RV travel around North America. What is not to like about that! I have to thank the love of my life, (Judy) for allowing me to fulfill a dream that we both made into a reality! We have no regrets whatsoever! I would recomend this lifestyle to anyone who has any sort of interest! Just do it! We did not have an end plan in place for transition back to normal life as we started this, it just worked out, as we knew it would. You deal with what is presented to you.\nWe both look forward to a new phase in our lives. One with a permanent home base. We will still travel, as we have benefit plans that provide out of country travel insurance whenever we need it! Just for a shorter period of time. We will learn to love like winter all over again, I guess... We will have to find some new snow tires! Hey, we are Canadians! We adjust!\nNow for the sad news.... this will mark the end of my Blog, RVlifeonwheels... It has been a blast! As many of you know, I lost a bit of interest in the past couple of months, but spent the better part of the past 6 years doing a daily blog. I never dreamed it would be viewed as much as it was, but that is what social media does these days. We also have a nice written history of our 6 years on the road, complete with pictures.\nI want to thank all the readers who kept me going over the years. You made it easy to continue. I will still follow blogs during my daily readings... just won't be writing anymore.\nOver the 6 years, we have met many people, visited many places, and learned lots of different things. I have memories that I will never forget! For a matter of interest, the place I really enjoyed visiting the most of all the places we went to.... \"Death Valley\" What a place, and I hope to go back one day.\nSo, as I sign off, thanks again readers! It has been a blast!\nPosted by The Hollingers at 6:30 PM 13 comments:",

        "raw_content": "Browse: Home / 2016 / May / 30 / A New Formula in the Battle for Fallujah\nDate: Mon 30 May 2016 0:57:04\nThe campaign is Iraq\u2019s latest attempt to push militia and coalition forces into a single battlespace, and lessons from past efforts have seemingly improved their tactics.\nOn May 22, the Iraqi government announced the opening of the long-awaited battle of Fallujah, the city only 30 miles west of Baghdad that has been fully under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group for the past 29 months. Fallujah was a critical hub for al-Qaeda in Iraq and later ISIL in the decade before ISIL\u2019s January 2014 takeover.\nOn the one hand it may seem surprising that Fallujah has not been liberated sooner \u2014 after all, it has been the ISIL-controlled city closest to Baghdad for more than two years. The initial reason was that there was always something more urgent to do with Iraq\u2019s security forces.\nIn January 2014, the Iraqi security forces were focused on preventing an ISIL takeover of Ramadi next door. The effort to retake Fallujah was judged to require detailed planning, and a hasty counterattack seemed like a pointless risk. In retrospect it may have been worth an early attempt to break up ISIL\u2019s control of the city while it was still incomplete.\nINCONCLUSIVE SIEGE OF FALLUJAH\nThen came the loss of Mosul and the battles for Haditha, Samarra, Tikrit, and Baiji. The battle to free Ramadi was fought throughout the length of the war until its recent liberation.\nThe Iraqi security forces, mainly Shia elements of the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), settled into a long and inconclusive siege of Fallujah. For the PMF, which experienced disappointing battlefield results from the spring of 2015 onwards, Fallujah became a way to give the impression that it was still a key player on the Iraqi battlefields.\nThis siege has caused tremendous material damage to Fallujah, which was never fully rebuilt after the great battles of 2004, when US Marines cleared the city in highly destructive block-by-block fighting. As importantly, around 70,000 civilians out of the city\u2019s 350,000 original residents remain in the city out of choice or because they are too scared to try to escape. Shortages of food and medicines within the Fallujah pocket have caused civilian illnesses and deaths that would be preventable under normal circumstances.\nThe current offensive to liberate Fallujah seems to have been driven by a combination of factors: the mass-casualty bombings in Baghdad during May, the pressure on Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to show positive results in any field, and the hiatus between the end of the battle of Ramadi and the likely start of the battle of Mosul in the late summer or autumn.\nLESSONS FROM PREVIOUS BATTLES\nIn theory, there is space for a quick Fallujah operation before Iraq begins to isolate Mosul from the south and west in the autumn and then assault Mosul city itself in the winter. But will it be quick?\nThe much publicised beginning of the broader Mosul operation launched in March 2016 gave the impression that the city itself was close to being liberated: In fact the fighting was more than 100km from Mosul city. In Fallujah the relieving forces are much closer \u2014 often 5-10km from the edges of the city \u2014 but the publicity surrounding the opening days of the offensive has raised expectations of an immediate entry into Fallujah a little too high.\nThis first week of Iraqi operations have been aimed at rolling back ISIL\u2019s control of outlying areas to the north of Fallujah at Karma, and to the east and south of the city. The Iraqi Air Force has mounted its most intensive operations of the war to selectively strike ISIL targets in Fallujah with its US-supplied F-16 and AC-208 precision-strike aircraft, Chinese armed CH-4 drones, Russian-supplied attack helicopters and new Czech-supplied L-159 jets.\nThe operation clearly shows that the Iraqi government, the PMF and the coalition have learned important command-and-control lessons from previous battles. The Iraqi government, supported by the US-led coalition, is coordinating the battle for Fallujah. They are picking the targets for aerial strikes and commanding the broad framework of the operation.\nThe PMF, which includes Sunni PMF from the rural areas around Fallujah, are fighting a loosely connected battle that is focused on Fallujah\u2019s rural outskirts. Some PMF elements, such as Kataib Hezbollah or Asaib Ahl al-Haq, will not receive US air support, but Iraqi aircraft will be on call to help. Importantly, Badr\u2019s leader Hadi al-Amiri said on May 24 that PMF units would not enter Fallujah city.\nThis division of labour is the product of lessons learned in the battles of Tikrit, Bayji and Ramadi. The PMF cannot \u201cgo it alone\u201d in such battles and do not achieve good results in intense urban fighting where coalition intelligence and strike capabilities are critically important. But Iraq\u2019s security forces and the coalition have learned that the PMF are pretty good at clearing and occupying the rural zones around contested cities and preventing ISIL reinforcements from arriving, which is a necessary part of any effort to liberate a city. The Iraqi government has learned that excluding the PMF entirely, as in Ramadi, can cause resentment. Time will tell how quickly and how effectively ISIL resistance in Fallujah will be overcome, but the formula being used at Fallujah represents a positive evolution for the war in Iraq.\nMichael Knights is a Lafer Fellow with The Washington Institute.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00b7 Biology \u00b7 Evolutionary Biology \u00b7 Faith and Religion Are Not Contradictory as Some Think\nThis promises to be one of the most controversial articles I wrote; not because of the contents, but just because religious issues always are.\nFew months ago, it was two hundred years ago that Darwin was born. Fifty years later he presented his theory on the origin of species through evolution. I cannot claim to be an expert on his theory, but I understand its general premise and the evidence supporting its main concepts. The concept of evolution has gone beyond biology to inspire a set of algorithms that can be used to find solutions to difficult engineering problems. These are called evolutionary algorithms. They start from a random set of solutions and arrive to a near-optimal solution through successive generations created by merging the fittest members of the previous generation. Evolutionary algorithms have been used by many scientists for solving difficult optimization problems and they do work. Hence, at least in this context, there is merit to evolution as a way for adapting a solution to fit a specific environment.\nSome people question Darwin\u2019s theory on the origin of species and find it threatening to their religious beliefs. Does evolution as a theory affect my religious faith? Not really, First of all, Darwin\u2019s theorem does not contradict the existence of God. It does not start from the beginning, but rather in the middle of the story ignoring the most important part: the root of it all. His theory merely explains a possible intelligent design for progression of creation. Secondly, faith for me and many others is based on a set of spiritual values not scientific facts. One cannot argue and disprove the former while the latter is fair game. To me, religion and science do not exist in the same domain and hence cannot cross paths. If you are a star-trek fan, you understand the concept of parallel domains. Scientists also use the concept of domains on daily basis as they analyze complex systems. They understand that you cannot liberally mix signals from different domain or the results would be disastrous. Simply speaking, science and religion cannot be used to contradict each other by the virtue of their own definition.\nWith this in mind one can always find a way to reconcile religious beliefs and scientific facts rather than declare the science as invalid based on our limited knowledge and intelligence. It was not long ago, relatively speaking, that earth was thought to be the center of the universe and that scientists declaring it not to be were thought misguided. This notion is now thought of as laughable and no one see it as a challenge to our religious beliefs, a far cry from how threatening this was at one point in our human history. Declaring religion to be an illusion based on a theory is just as dangerous and misguided. God help those who lost their faith for faith is the greatest gift of God to humans. It is a power that sustains at times of hardship and a light that leads when only dark thoughts are abound. Without it, we are lonely amongst the closest of friends and kin and powerless at the peak of our strength.\nMohamed A.

Members of the Society continue to create, exhibit, experiment and invariably pushing new artistic boundaries.\nTo establish a close relationship among members so as enhance their artistic development through sharing.\nTo raise the standard of practice in sculpture and nurture public appreciation in the artform.\nTo promote bilateral exchanges between sculptors in Singapore and other countries through exhibitions, workshops, talks, symposiums and field trips.\nPerhaps, one of the landmark project that the society has embarked on was The Changi Tree Project in 2004, when 9 sculptors transformed an illegally felled heritage tree of a 150-year-old Hopea sangal tree into 9 pieces of artwork. This project culminated with a Sculpture Symposium sponsored by the Lee Foundation and the National Arts Council.\nIn 2007, the Society held its 1st ever International Woodcarving Symposium, at the Fort Canning Park. During the 6 days symposium, 6 international artists and 8 local artists interpreted the theme \u201cIn Progress\u201d and created high quality artworks that brought together artistic and carving expertise. This year, the symposium returns with the theme \u201cSecond Nature\u201d.\nThe society has held several major and smaller sculpture exhibitions showcasing and promoting members\u2019 work. These include Milestones 2006 at the Library, InPhases 2007 and Wood & Fibre Sculpture Exhibition 2010 at the Fort Canning Centre.\nIn a continuous effort to nurture public appreciation in sculpture, the Society has been active in supporting the Sculpture Trail at Fort Canning Park, and other outreach programmes including Artist Talks, Sculpture Weekends and Community Arts projects.",

It just really reassured me that there was a heaven and that it'd be okay to die because there are some people I've been missing for far too long, and it would be really nice to see them again. And well, it made me want to start going to church again. I don't know, I mean, I just want to learn more about God and stuff, I know a lot of Bible stories and stuff because I went to church and sunday school all the time when I was younger, but now I never do... except on Easter and Christmas Eve. I just want to find a church with interesting sermons though, because I've been to lots of boring ones. Plus, I'm not a huuge fan of organized religion, I mean, I guess it has it's pros and cons.\nPeople have really been bothering me lately. I hate when people act all weird about religion just because it's not something they have in their life. They make it sound so weird and are just all \"Omg I'm not going to church, hell no!\" Like, I don't understand why they act this way about it. This sounds so stupid but I can't explain it.\nI looked up my order status for my makeup from MAC and it's been shipped. I checked out the tracking stuff and it's being shipped my UPS, everything is on schedule and it's supposed to arrive on Friday. Yay! :D I wish it were sooner though. I can't wait, asjghdasjkldgas!\nI'm going to hang out with Stephen tonight. I wonder what we're going to do...\nOh, and on Sunday I tried fake eyelashes for the first time! It wasn't really too hard and they didn't get too messed up. I kept messing with one though so it started coming off so I just took both of them off. And then the second one I accidentally got a little glue on one of my real lashes and was so afraid that it was going to rip my real eyelashes out! Thankfully, Stephen helped me and it didn't. I just need to practice on getting it closer to my lashes, but not too close! I want to go get more. (: Haha.\nOh, y'know what else I think is funny? I love how when I talk about makeup people act all weird about it like \"Oh hell no, that's too much to spend on makeup!\" but then they're always asking if they can borrow/use it. Ironic, right? Not to mention, I don't spend all my money on makeup so someone else can use it. You say it's too much to spend but you obviously recognize that it's a good product, haah.\ngosh :( i hope i'm not one of those who say \"you spend too much on makeup\", i mean i did kind of say that- but i didnt mean for it to sound like that, if thats how you took it.\nwe all have our obsessions. yours makeup & mine...ever so obvious.",

        "raw_content": "Last month, Kaspersky published a case study with Yarra Valley Grammar School in Victoria, Australia. At a time when data breaches in Victorian schools are rising, statistics show that more than 80% of all cyber incidents are caused by human error. Traditional training programs intended to prevent these problems rarely manage to achieve results.\nFor the school, which is home to 1,300 students and 230 teachers and staff, a key priority was to improve the cyber security awareness of teachers and administrative staff. Kaspersky Lab provided its Cyber security Awareness Training Platform to highlights risks, encourage safe behaviours and promote personal responsibility.\nIn 2017, the ACT Government estimated that Australia would need another 11,000 cyber security specialists over the next decade. With the rise of connected devices, more organisations are constantly faced with finding the right security to combat cybercriminal activity.\nKaspersky Lab\u2019s Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) member, Noushin Shabab is doing her part to produce a new supply of Gen Z Australian cyber security professionals.\nTogether with Jacqui Loustau, founder of the Australian Women in Security Network (AWSN), and co-founders of the AWSN Cadets, Elizabeth Bonny and Diane Loi, these women collaborated with Shabab to support and empower young women in the security industry.\nShabab was the first mentor to provide technical workshops for the AWSN female Cadets program which aims to boost their confidence and equip them with the necessary tools before embarking on a career in cyber security. Today, this initiative has grown to 60 girls from different universities across Victoria.\nShabab also teamed up with Cyber Security Challenge Australia (CySCA). Launched in 2012, CySCA is Australia\u2019s only national hacking competition, Run by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, the competition targets students in higher education in order to unearth the next generation of cyber security talent.\nShe worked closely with Fengling Han, who leads RMIT\u2019s involvement with the challenge, to teach a customised syllabus with a niche in reverse engineering for the competition participants.\nFengling Han says, \u201cCyber-attacks are considered one of the threats to business growth globally. To address the cyber security skill shortages in Australia, CySCA aims to promote cyber security as a career option by highlighting the key skills required in cyber security practice.\n\u201cPenetration testing and network forensics are the main topics in CySCA. RMIT Computer Science students show strong interest in competing in the CySCA this year. We have a record five teams (four students in one team) registered, including a team of first-year students and an all-female team. They have seen so many internship placements and job positions in cyber security.\u201d\nKaspersky Lab and the Swinburne University of Technology have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support cyber security education and bridge the country\u2019s skills shortage.\nThe partnership will focus on enhancing cyber security education in information and communication technology courses run by Swinburne\u2019s School of Software and Electrical Engineering. Students and teaching staff are able to benefit from the \u201cTrain-the-Trainer\u201d program that promotes the regular exchange of information such as industry insights and best practices.\nKaspersky Lab has also previously signed three separate MoUs with Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), and Temasek Polytechnic.",

Scott contributed to the track \"The Poison That Surrounds Us\" on the new ONE CHOICE record coming out late this month on Seventh Dagger. We talk about his involvement with this ONE CHOICE, EARTH CRISIS and straightedge.\nHow old are you, where are you from and how long have you been straightedge now?\nSCOTT: I'm 34 and from Syracuse NY. I've been Straight Edge for roughly 20 years.\nHow did you find out about straightedge and become involved?\nSCOTT: When I was about thirteen I had some friends who were really into hardcore bands like Minor Threat and Youth Of Today. I mainly listened to metal, but really respected the ideas and decisions some of my friends were making at the time. Not trying to fit in with the standard teenage lifestyle really appealed to me.\nWhat do you think are some positive things going on in straightedge right now?\nSCOTT: I think it's the same as it's always been really. Sure numbers rise and fall, but at the core there are always the truly motivated people keeping things alive.\nHow did you know the guys from ONE CHOICE and how did you come to be involved in the new record \"Forever War\"?\nSCOTT: We've known Rob Mertz for a while. Karl is a huge fan of his skating and Rob is into EC so when it came time for Rob's band to record of course we wanted to be involved. He's part of the xoldguardx like us so we need to stick together!\nWhat's coming up on the horizon for EARTH CRISIS or any other projects you are working on?\nSCOTT: EC will be going to Japan in January and then back over to Europe for some festivals in June. I'm always toying with the idea of other projects, but they never seem to happen, haha.\nhttp://www.myspace.com/earthcrisis\nhttp://www.myspace.com/onexchoice\nhttp://www.myspace.com/seventhdagger",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Main \u00bb Toyota to invest $500 million in Uber\nTwo years ago, Toyota invested an undisclosed sum in Uber and the two companies partnered on a car-leasing program for Uber drivers.\nIn a short post, the head of Uber's Advanced Technologies Group confirmed they are working with Toyota to develop self-driving vehicles.\nUber Senior Product Manager Eric Berdinis on the expansion of the company's freight service.\nHans Greimel, Asia editor for the specialist Automotive News publication, said Toyota was \"gearing up big-time for autonomous driving\".\nToyota Motors is investing $500 million more in Uber Technologies, underscoring the Japanese automaker's efforts to catch up on self-driving technology as General Motors and Alphabet's Waymo lead the race to upend transportation with autonomous vehicles.\nThe deal gives Toyota a key partner in a field that is growing rapidly, and comes on the same day that four of the automaker's suppliers announced a partnership to develop some of the software underpinning autonomous vehicles.\nThe investment round values Uber at $US72 billion ($98 billion), The Journal said. Toyota has also had a partnership earlier with Uber. The business alliances were created to focus on the development of the new e-Palette concept vehicle in the near term. The partnership deepens an existing relationship and reflects Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi's strategy of Uber developing autonomous vehicles through partnerships, rather than on its own.\nBy expanding into autonomous vehicles, Uber also hopes to ward off a looming competitive threat from another early investor, Google and its self-driving auto spin-off Waymo, which is poised to launch its own ride-hailing service in Arizona before the end of this year. Over that time, the company's share price has seen more ups and downs than a typical privately held company.\nIn March, one of the company's self-driving test vehicles ran down a pedestrian on a dark street in Tempe, Arizona. The self-driving unit is a significant contributor to Uber's losses, which in the second quarter were $891 million.\n\"Our expanded partnership with Toyota signals our commitment to deploying self-driving technology at scale for our riders around the globe\", Uber's statement reads.\nToyota has stated that the initial \"Autono-MaaS\" (autonomous-mobility as a service) fleet will be based on Toyota's Sienna Minivan platform.",

        "raw_content": "Is English Immersion Best For Immigrant Students?\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Q. I'm confused. I thought that it was best to teach an immigrant child regular school subjects in his or her own native language, for the most part, and gradually ease the child into the regular English-speaking classroom over a period of years. But now they're talking about \"sink or swim\" English-language immersion for non-English speaking kids. What gives?\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Bilingual education has witnessed a sea change in attitudes about what's best for children in public school who are learning the English language as well as the regular curriculum. Your attitude is now officially outdated, since states like California and Arizona have switched to English immersion for several years now, and Texas is moving that way.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Most educators didn't want to make the switch. A powerful force for change, though, has been Hispanic parents. They contended that the gentle, slow approach to making Spanish-speaking kids proficient in English, which often took years, slowed down their children's academic progress.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd In typical bilingual ed programs, non-English speaking children were segregated in special English As a Second Language classrooms for several years. They were often taught in their native language and not in English, and given a lot of multicultural curriculum instead of the old 3 R's.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The result: their test scores were enormously worse than the native English speakers. It was feared that instead of becoming bilingual, they were becoming illiterate in TWO languages!\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd For school systems, it was a headache to find bilingual teachers, and then the way most systems were set up, there were disincentives for those teachers to make the children good enough at reading and writing in English to leave their classrooms and take funding and \"need\" away from those teachers.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd For public policymakers, bilingual education was a nightmare because a \"good\" English competency level in one school district might be evaluated as \"unacceptable\" in the next one. It was hard to explain to the public why the dropout rate among non-English speaking kids was so much higher than for native-born Americans, when we were spending so much more per pupil on the immigrants than on the lifelong citizens. Then there are the valid fairness complaints from taxpayers, since some of these children are here illegally, with parents who are undocumented workers.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The breakthrough came from educators like Ken Noonan, superintendent of the Oceanside, Calif., schools and vice chairman of the California State Board of Education who was co-founder of the California Association of Bilingual Educators. For 30 years, he was militantly in favor of bilingual education and against English immersion. He campaigned against California's Proposition 227 in 1998, the ballot measure that eliminated bilingual education and substituted one year in a structured English-immersion classroom before the English language learner is assigned to a mainstream class.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Noonan and others have raved about the results ever since. He advises schools to reduce class sizes to 20 children or below in the early grades, and teach reading with phonics-only instruction, to get results like his district's. After two years of English immersion, the limited-English second-graders in Oceanside raised their scores on standardized tests from the 13th percentile to the 32nd percentile, getting nearer and nearer to the national average.\nHomework: See the Oct. 25, 2005, white paper, \"Immersion Not Submersion: Converting English Language Programs From Bilingual Education to Structured English Immersion in California and Elsewhere,\" on this think tank's website: www.lexingtoninstitute.org/docs/707.pdf",

        "title": "HOAX - Stanley Kubrick Confesses to Faking Moon Landings For NASA | Stillness in the Storm",
        "raw_content": "HOAX - Stanley Kubrick Confesses to Faking Moon Landings For NASA\nUpdate - December 12th, 2015 2:55 pm: Thank you to the several readers who sent me the evidence I needed to further vet this story. This is part of what makes SITS so special because it is a community of individuals seeking to discover the truth. And I can hardly claim to be cognizant of all the facts, as such receiving information from the readership is essential.\nApparently the Stanley Kubrick Interview, linked below in full, is a fake. This is based on an outtakes video, wherein the director off camera coaches a Kubrick look a like named Tom on what to say.\nFor clarity, the alleged Stanley Kubrick confession is NOT real, it is a hoax.\nHere is a video confiring that the interview is a hoax.\nhttps://youtu.be/niEcNiU_2jA\nUpdate - December 12th, 2015 2:00 pm: I've been getting a steady stream of comments saying that this interview is fake, but I have yet to see any positive evidence to confirm that assertion. To be clear, I a merely sharing the data. My interest is in the truth, so if there is evidence to suggest the interview is false, please send it to me. sitsshow@gmail.com\nOriginal introduction altered for accuracy.\nThe Moon landings being faked is probably one of the most well-known conspiracy topics. For the uninitiated, it provides a source of amusement and ridicule directed toward one who would consider such a thing. But, for those well versed in the topic, there is a preponderance of data to suggest that the Moon landings were, in fact, faked.\nStanley Kubrick is a revered filmmaker from the mid 20th century, cited by some researchers as being the Director who faked Moon landings. Up until recently, this was nothing more than legend and rumor, but in the following interview, he allegedly admits participating in the faked Moon landings. But as I learned later, this is actually an actor named Tom.\nThe hoax claims that on March 1999, Kubrick was interviewed by filmmaker T. Patrick Murry three days before his death. Murry was forced to sign an 88-page Non-Disclosure Agreement, agreeing to keep the interview secret for at least 15 years.\nHere is an excerpt from the video transcript where he admits the landings were faked:\nK: I perpetrated a huge fraud on the American public, which I am now about to detail, involving the United States government and NASA, that the moon landings were faked, that the moon landings ALL were faked , and that I was the person who filmed it.\nT: Ok. (laughs) What are you talking\u2026You\u2019re serious. Ok.\nK: I\u2019m serious. Dead serious.\nThe actor also says that Kubrick's last film, Eyes Wide Shut, was a film set in the sexual underground, but was really all about secrecy.\nI also suspect that flat Earth proponents, a theory based on the premise that all NASA information is fake or contrived, will hold Kubrick's alleged admission up as proof of the theory's validity. As damning as the alleged statements are, this is not positive evidence of a non-spherical earth, to be clear.\nOf course, there is already plenty of reasons to question the American-led space agency NASA, which has essentially served as a type of cosmic propaganda machine for over 60 years.\nThe video interview and transcript is presented in full below.\nI will maintain the below material for reference. Again the following is a hoax; this is not actually Stanley Kurbrick being interviewed.\nStanley Kurbrick Hoax Video from Lee Canady on Vimeo.\nYourNewsWire\nA stunning new video has emerged 15 years after Stanley Kubrick\u2019s death in which Kubrick admits that the NASA moon landings were faked.\nFilmmaker T. Patrick Murray interviewed Kubrick three days before his death in March 1999. He was forced to sign an 88-page NDA to keep the contents of the interview a secret for 15 years.\nBelow is a transcript from the interview with Stanley Kubrick, in which the 2001 Space Odyssey Director admits on camera that, \u201cthe moon landings ALL were faked , and that I was the person who filmed it.\u201d\nWe have included a leaked rough cut of the interview below the transcript:\nK: I\u2019m so preoccupied. With my work, innovation, risk-taking, regrets\u2026\nT: Why are you giving this interview?\nK: Because, it started to get to me after awhile. Well, this is difficult, because it is the first time I\u2019ve talked about it. (sighs)\nT: Sure, take all the time you need.\nK: I\u2019ve always been conflicted by it, but not consciously until years later. I was just blown away by the chance, the opportunity, the challenge of making this, this production, and I went into this like it was a regular film, like another regular film of mine, not thinking too much about uh the long term effects of what it would mean to society if it was ever discovered.\nT: What are you talking about? I\u2019m dying to know what you\u2019re talking about.\nK: Well, a confession of sorts. A movie I made, that nobody is aware of \u2013 even though they\u2019ve seen it.\nT: A movie you made, no one knows you made? Is that what you said?\nK: That\u2019s right. Is that intriguing? Do I have you intrigued?\nK: Yes, it was fake.\nT: Ok. Wait. Wait\u2026\nT: I don\u2019t want this to be an R-rated film, but seriously, what the blank, but seriously\u2026\nT: I, I, I worked almost eight months to secure this once in a lifetime interview that almost no else could ever get, and instead of talking about his sixteen films that I\u2019ve endured since I was a child\u2026That we didn\u2019t land on the moon, you\u2019re saying?\nK: No, we didn\u2019t.\nK: It was not real.\nT: The moon landings were fake?\nK: A, a, a.. fictional moon landing. A fantasy. It was not real.\nK: Don\u2019t you think it\u2019s important for people to know the truth?\nT: The moon landing in \u201969, which was two years before my birth\u2026\nK: Is total fiction.\nT: Is that?\u2026So, that\u2019s the 15 year thing. So that\u2019s makes sense now. That\u2019s why I can\u2019t release it for 15 years now, that makes total sense now.\nT: Did we\u2026we didn\u2019t land on the moon you\u2019re saying?\nT: Why are you telling me?\nK: A, a, a, a massive fraud. An unparalleled fraud perpetrated against them. They SHOULD know.\nK: Nixon want to uh, they were planning, yeah, he want to fake this, this moon landing\u2026\nT: Are you contending that people DON\u2019T want to know the truth about the world, reality, the moon landings\u2026?\nK: The government, knowing this, takes advantage of it by perpetrating fraud after fraud after fraud.\nT: How did you end up giving in? Being complicit with this fraud?\nK: I didn\u2019t want to do it.\nT: This is NOT where I thought this interview was going!\nK: With my help, with my, with my aid, and it is, it is bothering me.\nT: I only have this certain amount of time with you. And I\u2019ll talk about whatever you want, but\u2026\nT: You\u2019re not\u2026This isn\u2019t some type of joke, or\u2026\nK: No. No, it\u2019s not.\nT: Or a film within a film thing\u2026\nK: Not joking. NOPE.\nK: The conspiracy theorists were right, on this occasion.\nT: I don\u2019t know what to ask you first.\nK: I thought it was wrong, I just\u2026I didn\u2019t believe in perpetrating a fraud like that.\nT: But you did.\nK: It also undermined my artistic integrity to do that.\nT: Ok, but you ended up saying yes. Why?\nK: Well, yes, but because basically I was bribed. To put it bluntly, that\u2019s what it was. It was just a plain fucking bribe.\nK:A, a, a, massive fraud. An unparalleled fraud perpetrated against them. They SHOULD know! Don\u2019t you think it\u2019s important for people to know the truth?\nT: Why did they have to fake it? Why? Why would they ever need to do something like that? Why would the government ever want or need to do\u2026\nK: It\u2019s no secret that NASA always wanted to fulfill this Kennedy prophecy.\nT: Take it from the beginning\u2026\nT: I gotta be honest, this is where he (Kubrick) got me. I mean, when I actually put myself in his position, when I actually imagine that he was telling the truth, and that he was presented with this opportunity and if in the one in a billion chance that I lived his life and I was presented with the same opportunity, what would I do?\nT: Yeah, he wanted his approval points up and he thought nothing could do it better than this.\nT: What a conflict. I mean, gosh, I can\u2019t imagine being presented with that opportunity. On one hand, I\u2019d really would want to do it, but then I\u2019d probably say I\u2019m committing a crime, and lying\u2026\nT: It depends, but my guess would be\u2026no, if you\u2019re good, but you would do it.\nK: Spielberg, (inaudible) Scorsese, even Woody Allen. There isn\u2019t one of them who wouldn\u2019t do this.\nT: I gotta admit: I\u2019d do it. I\u2019d do it too.\nT: But they dangled all this power and all this flattery on you, essentially?\nK: Yeah, it got to me after awhile. You can listen to so much of that stuff before you start to believe it.\nT: They just said you were the greatest and stuff?\nK: Yeah, yeah \u2013 and I agreed with them.\nK: Why are you telling the world? Why does the world need to know that the moon landings aren\u2019t real and you faked them?\nK: Which I consider to be my masterpiece.\nT: And you can\u2019t take credit, or even talk about\u2026\nK: Well, I am now..\nT: Right, so you\u2019ll be dead. In ten years, or 15\u2026\nK: Right, ten or 15 something like that.\nT: So, you can\u2019t talk to Roger Ebert about it. Does that frustrate you?\nT: Why did they have to fake it? Why would they have to do that?\nK: Because it is impossible to get there.\nfirst 30 minutes on YouTube\u2026\nhttps://youtu.be/S3ocNZGOLY0\nhttp://www.ascensionwithearth.com/2015/12/stanley-kubrick-confesses-to-faking.html\nLabels: ascension mother earth , de-programing mind control , disclosure , fraud of the system , hidden technology , moon , nasa , Science , self education , video",

Now it is up to Callie to find a way back.Her quest will take her far from home \u2013 to a 17th Century Scotland where the demon she once fell in love with is still very much a man......\nTitle : Dark Possession\nAuthor : Carol Goodman\nDark Possession Reviews\nInitial Thoughts: I think that what I enjoyed most about this book was the atmosphere. This is a book that transported me to wherever the main character was: modern day Fairwick College, Faerie, and 17th century Scotland. I loved that even in the present, The Angel Stone had a lovely Gothic feel to it. I also enjoyed how the author used myth and folklore in her book. The Review:I first fell in love with this series when I read The Demon Lover. I liked how the author created a magical world nestled in the Catskills Mountains at a fictional college. I could picture in my head the college buildings covered in ivy, the quaint little town surrounding the college and the lush green of the hills surrounding the town. Then, when I met the town\u2019s inhabitants, I was intrigued. Fairwick was not your ordinary town. The inhabitants were quite special.The Angel Stone picks up right where The Water Witch left off. Callie McFay is teaching a course at the \u201cnew\u201d Fairwick College. Things just aren\u2019t the same since the door to Faerie was closed. There\u2019s a new Dean at the college and his agenda is a little sinister. Callie and her colleagues vow to defeat the Dean and his supporters who happen to be nephilim. Callie learns that she must retrieve the Angel Stone, an opal with special powers, in order to defeat the nephilim. Problem is, the stone was last seen in 17th century Scotland. There\u2019s a bit of a rich dark, Gothic feel to this book. The author layers myth and folklore together to form a compelling narrative. The story is told mostly from Callie\u2019s point of view. There are some intriguing dream sequences that felt almost too real when Callie awoke to sprigs of heather in her bed. I liked how the element of time travel was handled in this book. Callie realizes that since she is a doorkeeper, she can use the hallow door to travel to Faerie. In Faerie, she rescues William Duffy from the fae queen and they travel back in time to 17th century Scotland in order to find the Angel Stone. I loved the scenes in Scotland (yes, I am a sucker for a brawny highlander). The magic was so cool, especially the weaving of the plaid. I loved how the witches worked together and combined their powers to help defeat the nephilim. The Angel Stone had a diverse and eccentric cast of characters. Not only did it include the usual supernatural suspects \u2013 witches, vampires, fae, etc., the book also had a character with Down\u2019s syndrome (go, Jessica!) and another who suffered from a mental illness. I enjoyed The Angel Stone and I\u2019m keeping my eye out for more books by this author, who also writes as Carol Goodman. Review posted on Badass Book Reviews.Thank you to Edelweiss and Ballantine Books for a review copy of this book.\nI\u2019ll be honest with you. I haven\u2019t read the first two books in this trilogy. I approached this particular conundrum as a scientific experiment to see if I could follow along with enough of the story that I didn\u2019t feel as though I had wandered around in the woods late at night without my shoes or socks. Since my wife reads all of my reviews before I post them, she\u2019s probably shaking her head at this point, and I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll hear about it later. But I was able to follow along, and I did enjoy myself, although there was a bit of a learning curve. I did miss a few inside jokes, and I did scratch my head at times when I probably should have laughed. But I laugh more than enough as it is anyway. The challenge suited me, just as the unconventional often does as well.THE ANGEL STONE, however, took unconventionality to new heights and then proceeded to aim for the direction of Jupiter while bypassing the moon entirely. Had I read THE DEMON WITCH and THE WATER LOVER, I still would have been overwhelmed by the preponderance of nephilims and fairies and witches and the angel stone and tartan cloaks and gnomes and owls and brownies (not the edible kind) and winged monsters and pirates and trows and gargoyles and folklore and romance and Tam Lin and Luckenbooth brooches and vampires and Fairy Queens and Kings and All Hallow\u2019s Eve and enchanted woods and the incubus.But once my body purged those half a dozen brain cells, I actually started to enjoy my life minus that IQ point that I lost. This novel blended fantasy and historical fiction and romance with ease, and the cast of characters proved both interesting and entertaining. After all, this is a college campus, and as such, fair women are taken advantage of through spells and enchantments and imbued beverages, and men are often prone to act like shitheads, especially when alcoholic cocktails and exorbitant amounts of testosterone are involved.But the real heart of this tale is Cailleach (half-witch/half-fey) who proves strong and admirable and quite desirable and who jumps back in time to restore the balance to fair Fairwick, NY. And in the process, she discovers a manifestation of the love that got away.I received this book for free through NetGalley.Cross-posted at Robert's Reads\nPatrice Hoffman 2019-02-04 09:12\nThe Fairwick Chronicles has come to an end with The Angel Stone. I hate to see Callie go but after 3 books I'm beat. Anyone who is interested in reading this book should read the first two The Demon Lover and The Water Witch. Juliet Dark does supply readers with ample background information but it's really necessary to go discover it all first-hand and not in the abridged version provided in this novel. With that being said let's move on to my thoughts... yes!Juliet Dark begins The Angel Stone a few months later from where the plot ended in The Water Witch. Those who have followed the series know that Callie's incubus has been killed after becoming human briefly. Duncan Laird, the evil wizard of the 9th order, and his nephilim, have taken over the Fairwick College and have big plans for the student body. Callie and the others left in Fairwick after the door was closed, devise a plan to take back their school as well as their lives. This is the goal at least until Callie finds another guy...Callie must be the hottest woman on earth because she gets laid constantly. Sorry to be so brash but she's really romping it up and when she isn't she's dreaming about it. That was the most annoying aspect of The Water Witch. Lucky me (insert sarcasm here) Juliet Dark continued to keep up with that bizarre limbido of Callie's. I needed to get that gripe off my chest and move on to the good.Juliet Dark's writing is still top-notch with this novel. I feel like I've escaped to another dimension every time I pick up a Fairwick Chronicle book. The setting is well described with a supporting cast of characters worth getting to know throughout the 3 books in this series. Overall, I am saddened that my time with Callie is over but I am still relieved. It's so tiring that Callie finds any reason to let a hot piece of tail distract her from saving Fairwick. I have enjoyed this journey and has made me a fan of the fantasy romance genre. I recommend this novel to anyone who's read the other two first, and lives for the romance in a fantastical world.\nLucie Paris 2019-01-24 04:58\nBig fan of the first volume, \"The Demon Lover\", I confess to not being managed to find the same magic than in the first one. The tome 1 was a tasty mix of magic, myths and legends, a quest, fairies, fightings and a beautiful love story.Sure, I had noticed some heaviness due to many details, but all were consistent and have carried me in an amazing world. I was really thrilled to continue the serie.\"The water witch\", the second opus of the tale, was great because more magic and supernatural were added in the story. But suddenly, it was the evolution of the heroine, Callie, after loosing her lover that had disappointed me. More lengths also and much less good romance for ma taste. Fortunately, the final scenes have awakened my interest and made \u200b\u200bme want to eagerly continue the \"Fairwick Chronicles\" until the end.Unfortunately same thing in \"The Stone Angel\", there is an imbalance in the story. The first part is a little too soft and dull even if is full of supernatural elements. Also a sense of repetition and lot of details that obstruct the text. Then, when I began to doubt, the author has succeeded, again, to pique my interest with a travel to the past that explains Callie's role and love story.Even though I enjoyed less her affair with William, how their relationship is portrayed made \u200b\u200bme turn the pages. Liam will always be my favorite lover for Callie. He conquered me from the start!Despite my remarks, the \"Fairwick Chronicles\" is an awesome serie. Juliet Dark takes you into her endearing universe, teeming of excellent and charming characters. I also loved the Celtic legends and tales that are at the center of the saga.For lovers of folklore, fairies and second chances.Luciehttp://newbooksonmyselves.blogspot.fr...\nBlebeTanja 2019-02-14 13:00\nUpdate: I GOT APPROVED ON NETGALLEY! AAAA! *does the Carlton dance*__________________________What if I die before September????? :O\n\u01a4\u028b\u0438\u028f\u03b1 [Punya Reviews...] 2019-01-16 07:57\nMy review contains spoilers and they're mostly my thoughts as I went with the book...The atmosphere of The Angel Stone, book 3 of the Fairwick Chronicles had the same kind of Gothic touch and complex, fantasy storytelling as the earlier installments. I loved that as much as I did in book 1, The Demon Lover and book 2, The Water Witch. I was eagerly waiting for the conclusion because I wanted to see the Incubus back in the story. But did it meet my expectations? Let\u2019s see...In book 1, we meet Callie, a half-witch, half-fey girl. An orphan, Callie had been raised by her cold and distant grandmother. Then, as she grew up, Callie started dreaming of this dream lover who would come to her at night and make love to her. She could blame it on anything, except that the lovemaking seems too real to dismiss as dreams. It keeps happening so frequently that Callie begins to wonder her sanity. After her thesis on her favorite subject of Folklore, Callie gets a job as a professor in the small-town of Fairwick. She was not very keen on it, but somehow everything about this quaint town attracted her to a point that Callie, who thought herself a practical girl (even with her obsession with fey, witches and the like), makes quite a few impulsive decisions. She not only joins as a Professor but also buys a house called the Honeysuckle House which is situated on the edge of the wood, bordered by a huge growth of entangled honeysuckle vines. Callie finds the story of a reclusive novelist living all her life in it but that story doesn\u2019t really go anywhere, except for binding her to the Incubus. Yes, a research told Callie that the author had indeed been visited by one, the same thing that visited her when she was young and thought to be her Prince Charming. It\u2019s a long, complicated story but the fact of the matter is, soon enough Callie finds her true calling. The reality (or was it?) is slapped on her face when she finally learns of her origin as a fairy door-keeper, that Fairwick is actually an enchanted town where fey, witches and other types of supernatural beings live together. There are unsuspecting humans too. Callie also learns that the dean of the Fairwick collage, Elizabeth Book, is actually a witch, that Soheila Lily, a professor there, is a wind elemental who once was a succubus. There are others such as hers in the collage, even the fairy queen, Fiona, the cold b!tch I hated on spot. Now all of them want the Incubus, who was still visiting Callie and taking her to the Fairyland etc. in her dreams, be vanquished for security reasons. According to Soheila, an Incubus can\u2019t have any good reason to be with a human, except to suck the life out of his \u2018prey\u2019. I, personally, didn\u2019t believe in it because I felt that the Incubus really did have some kind of connection with Callie, as he kept showing her through those dreams. So much so that he returns as a poetry Professor, Liam (whom I could tell was him but Callie never did until the end) to teach. Callie is attracted and jumps into bed with him soon. Unfortunately, when some bad stuff keep happening (not the Incubus\u2019s fault), the witches convince Callie that it\u2019s because of him, making her chicken out. With Dean Book, her partner, the deer fairy Diana and Soheila\u2019s help, Callie banishes the Incubus/Liam to the borderland, where he\u2019d suffer for eternity. I was so pissed at her, could never forgive Callie for her idiocy, even though she keeps saying Liam hurt her\u2026 not sure how though. *eyeroll*In book 2, I didn\u2019t know what to expect. Callie tells us she\u2019s missing Liam/Incubus a lot and knowing that he won\u2019t be coming back doesn\u2019t help. Soheila asks her to buckle up and concentrate on her teaching job. They also discuss on Callie\u2019s own power that needs to be practiced and developed because they all sense something very strong in her. For that, a teacher is employed; a Duncan Laird. Never once that I thought he\u2019s the Incubus when he starts teaching Callie, though SHE makes the mistake. How could she, after having the Incubus as her lover for so long, make such a stupid mistake I couldn\u2019t imagine? She even lets him become intimate once or twice, though it doesn\u2019t go far. In this book, we also meet the Stewarts, who at one time resided in the village of Ballydoon in Scotland. They\u2019re a sort of witches who can weave protection spell, keeping Fairwick safe from the otherworldly creatures that can come through the door to the fairy, which is incidentally, also that Honeysuckle vine near Callie\u2019s house. Here, we have some new adventures for Callie, who is given the task of saving some undine eggs with Aelvesgold (something coming from the fairy and very much in demand among the creatures living in this world). Callie does her job well, but she also meets her Incubus when she goes to the fairy to safely escort the remaining undines. He somehow tricks her to free him. Soon, news arrive that there is trouble ahead and it\u2019s not from one crazy undine which escaped the Fairy. It\u2019s more to do with a bunch of Nephilims who are currently in Fairwick, and they\u2019re just a fraction of the original number. They have a mission to fulfill here. More complicated history follows, of how the Nephilims came to be as a cross-breed among the beautiful elves and the humans they impregnated, and how they became so violent when their fathers rejected the first batch for being so ugly etc. Over the centuries, the beauty of their gene has taken over but the heart and mind remained the same; as cold and cruel as ever. And they\u2019re still secretly breeding with human to ensure that THEY are the one who rule this side of the world one day. They\u2019re vicious, ruthless and mindless to the max. They can control your mind; twist and turn in a way that you\u2019d end up wishing you were dead. And then, they\u2019d just suck you dry and kill you. Callie was very late learn that her Incubus actually came to her as Bill, the shy handyman she hired to do her job when her regular handyman Brock, an ancient Norse deity, got badly injured from a fall. With Bill, Callie falls in love (though I didn\u2019t believe in her feelings when she was rubbing off with Duncan for the 80% of the story thinking he\u2019s the Incubus!). I always found Duncan a bit cold and calculating though he fooled Callie with his blonde good looks. Callie also learns that her Grandmother, the one who raised her, is also a witch and have taken the side of the Nephilims. And the Nephilims are winning the bargain because they produce their own Aelvesgold. They\u2019ve been manipulating those witches with that lure. They\u2019ve also want the door to the Fairy closed forever. This way, they can rule the Earth, securing the \u2018assistance\u2019 of the other supernatural beings.It seems like the Nephilims won the final battle, though Callie tries her best to keep the door open by bonding her heart with the door. Majority of her friends, including Dean Book and Diana are forced to leave for the Fairy. But Soheila and another professor and witch, Frank Del Marco stay behind. In the last scuffle, when Duncan, who comes out in his real form, tries to strike Callie down, Bill saves her but is killed himself. It was all a little hazy for me at that point but apparently, since Callie started loving him unknowingly even then, he became a human once more. Yes, they shared a bond of heart, which only needed to be recognized by Callie. But she couldn\u2019t so far because of some spell her mother put on her when she was young. It seems now it\u2019s all gone, leaving Callie distressed and once again, heartsick.I needed to recap because the story in book 3 picks up from where it was left in book 2. But I think one can read this as a standalone because the author did a splendid job of providing little recaps whenever it was necessary to link the other books without being overly repetitive.At this point, some months have passed by and the Nephilims have taken over the entire Fairwick; especially Callie\u2019s collage where now Duncan reigns as the Dean. He\u2019s brought in several other kinds of creatures masquerading as human to work with him. There are several new boys in the collage too; all with angelic, blonde good looks but one look at their semi-cold eyes tells you what they really are. Callie is still teaching but Soheila and Frank are not. The vampires, who were also professors of Fairwick collage, have also left or went into hiding, just as the rest of the good witches of the Witches Circle who helped Callie in her quests in book 2. Callie could\u2019ve left her post but she needs to keep an eye on her students as most of them have no idea what\u2019s going on, except that things have changed around the collage. The place is not as warm and welcoming anymore. There are some restrictions all through the campus but Callie knows Duncan won\u2019t do anything without a plan; something that is the part of a bigger, more sinister one. Worse, Duncan is still trying to \u2018woo\u2019 her because he wants to draw her to his side. But for Callie there\u2019s no one else but Bill. She\u2019s sure she would never see him again. Now all she wants is to cleanse Fairwick off of Nephilims. She\u2019s been meeting up with Soheila and Frank in secret to investigate. It\u2019s apparent that those frat boys (the new ones) who have taken over the Hart Brake Inn, a place opposite to Honeysuckle House, are going to be used for something... But what? Callie doesn\u2019t feel safe around the house, so she begins putting on wards etc. so that nothing can harm her whenever she\u2019s inside. One day, Nicky Ballad, one of Callie\u2019s students stops by. Nicky and Callie share a history that is explored in book 1 and 2. Since then, the girl has been a champion of Callie\u2019s. She also loves fairytales just as much as her. Nicky brought back a book from Scotland titled \u201cThe Ballads of William Duffy\u201d, a 17C folklore written by a woman named Mary MacGowan. This thoroughly interests Callie, more so because the narratives in this one had the same tune as Tam Lin, a favorite from Callie\u2019s childhood fairytales. A man named Tam Lin is kidnapped by the Fairy Queen. He asks his beloved to come and get him after 7 years and hold onto him no matter what. When the girl goes to rescue him, he transforms into some scary creatures before turning into himself. This was necessary to break the curse put on him by the Fairy Queen, which she does... After Tam Lin is rescued, he marries the girl and lives HEA. But William Duffy\u2019s story, as the author indicates, is based on a true story. Nicky gifts the book but Callie asks her to find out more on Mary MacGowan. I was left amazed when Mary\u2019s \u2018true\u2019 identity was revealed in the final chapters.As she begins to read the Ballad, Callie finds that this definitely connects her to her Incubus. She begins dreaming of him again, this time his face transforms from Liam to Bill to finally a younger guy with green eyes and handsome features, somewhat resembling Bill. Callie\u2019s sex dreams return too because she\u2019d always find herself in the middle of a clearing full of heather, a hollow door standing at one side of it with an impatient William waiting for her as if they\u2019re meant to meet. Upon waking up, Callie would find heathers strewn all over her bed.Because she must act quickly, Callie informs Soheila and Frank about this. They learn of a stone called the Angel Stone that is necessary for her quest in banishing the Nephilims. Callie meets up with the ancient Grandmother of the Stewarts, Nan Stuart too who tells her that she has to travel to the 17C Scotland to find the stone as it\u2019s still there. When she group the few remaining witches together for the big ceremony, which has to take place on the Halloween, Callie finds that she\u2019s coming up short. They need more power to work on this, also to stave off the Nephilims who\u2019d surely attack them.Then all of a sudden, her grandmother along with two of her other buddies, visits her. She looks so worn and thin, Callie can\u2019t believe it is that same grandmother who held nothing but contempt for her father. It turns out their jaunts with Nephilims haven\u2019t gone well. They were attacked where they were hiding, which left them old and frail. But when they hear of Callie\u2019s plan, they agree to help her in this. The Angel Stone needed to be found soon.The Angel Stone is said to be a magical stone that has been shaped from the tears of the last of the elf fathers before the ugly generation came into being. I don\u2019t know exactly why this held such power to banish the Nephilims but it did. On the eve of the Halloween, the whole campus shuts down because Duncan has ordered it with some lame excuses. Callie knew if the girls are here, they might be attacked by those boys, who are cross-breds between Nephilim fathers and human mothers. Callie had already tried discouraging some serious partying that can only lead to one thing, transforming Fairwick as another of their breeding ground. Then Callie tried a spell that\u2019d make her human students so homesick that they should run to their homes immediately. But somehow it doesn\u2019t work and they are back at Callie\u2019s house. The ban on Halloween observation doesn\u2019t stop Callie from making some Halloween paraphernalia. She creates three figures from her pumpkin carvings and old clothing, then enchants them with a request to guard her oblivious students while she\u2019s not here. The figures agree to protect the students. Callie also tries to reach out to those boys who have been watching her silently lighting candles, among other things, as if to decorate her house; her plan to appeal to their human side in order to have their help, if possible.Callie dresses as a medieval maid, or close to it and begins her journey through the wood. As she reaches her destination, she finds that the witches are already carrying on with the ceremony. Only Frank is not present because he was injured while saving Callie from one of Duncan\u2019s attacks before all these, which made Callie determined to get this over with. But now that time has come, she\u2019s overwhelmed. Can she do it? Callie finally steps into the portal opened by the witches... and stumbles somewhere near another wood. It seems like a procession full of supernatural creatures is on its way. Callie knows this is where William is supposed to be. In the Ballad, it was said that William was not rescued but Callie rescues him. When she gazes up at a young William, Callie realizes just how close he resembles her Bill. William, it seems recognizes her too, but not as \u2018Callie\u2019 but as Cailleach of another time. It seems like the old Cailleach resembled her to an alarming degree! What does that mean?William later realizes though that Callie is not the same Cailleach. They venture into a small village from where William hails. It seems eerily quiet as if everyone is in the hiding. William finds his aunt\u2019s house empty but decides to stay there and investigate. I distinctly disliked Callie having sex with him on the first day because I couldn\u2019t understand exactly why she\u2019d be horny in the middle of such a confusing situation! Later, their investigation reveals this village being plagued by the witch hunters who have been taking people from the village to a nearby crumbling castle, Coldclough which looms over the village like something dark, unwelcoming and ominous. They also meet another of William\u2019s relations, a woman in her mid/late thirties, Nan. Callie immediately thinks this is the ancestor of the Nan she knows from future but we later learn that she\u2019s THE Nan of future! At that point, I thought anything is possible... so I moved on.When they all talk, things begin unraveling. It seems like the Nephilims have always played a big role as witch-hunters for obvious reasons; eliminating threats. Nan and William listen to Callie\u2019s part of the story, of a future they can\u2019t even imagine. But because they believe in the impossible, they believe in Callie\u2019s stories too. Callie learns of the first Cailleach, or Katy as they called her, who came to this village from the woods. Everyone thought her to be crazy but somehow she made a place, even got married and had a girl named Mairi. But then she disappears just as suddenly leaving her husband heartbroken. From all things, it was no doubt that this Katy was Callie\u2019s ancestor. I was confused about her relationship with William, as it never really felt like he missed her while doing you-know-what in and around the Fairy!Aside from such crazy thoughts, I actually enjoyed this part of the story MUCH MORE than the first 50% which seemed to be dragging, making me think that the fun has gone out of the story. I was wrong of course. Soon Callie gets a glimpse of the Angel Stone too, which is possessed by the head witch-hunter, Endymion. Callie and William have to save them. They also have to find a way to have the Angel Stone back. And for that, Callie and Nan join forces with a few other trusty witches to find a solution for this... which will lead you how the Stewards or the Stewarts were originally founded.The ending is full of actions. First, Callie, William and Nan, alongside the Stewards fight the Nephilims... Before Callie leaves, William makes a fast decision. A sad twist in the story. The fact was, Willam\u2019s transformation has not yet happened, so he decides to serve Fairy Queen in order to become the man Callie falls in love in the future. I had some of my crazy questions here as well- about William\u2019s \u2018real\u2019 intention, also to learn of Endymion, the gorgeous Nephilim\u2019s true identity. Something made me think it was another of Duncan\u2019s faces but we\u2019re never made sure of that. Callie returns to the present to find that the Nephilims have attacked her friends. It was THE big showdown and I enjoyed every moment of it! I loved how the author tried to give us solutions for almost every puzzle she put Callie through. I also appreciated her having me hooked no matter what. One last complaint that I had was about Callie and the Incubus\u2019s much anticipated reunion. I was definitely hoping for something grander, something mind-blowing. Too many pages were spend in showing that he might not return and Callie trying to move on with her life, devoting herself in rebuilding Fairwick. TBH, I was NOT happy because it scared the hell outta me! When they finally come together, it was SO abrupt that it left me with frustration... 4 stars.This ARC was provided to me by Random House/Ballantine Books via edelweiss which didn\u2019t influence my review and rating in any way.\nC.M. Truxler 2019-02-08 08:04\nThe Angel Stone is Heavenly ReadTo say simply that a work like The Angel Stone, the third book of the Fairwick Chronicles, by Juliet Dark, aka Carol Goodman, is a Fantasy Fiction novel written in first person does such an injustice to the work that it puts the entire reviewing process into question. It is a cross-genre novel, but to say even that bit more does not add the needed information. It occurs to me that the only reason Hollywood has not latched onto this series is that it could never do justice to the tale, regrettably that has never stopped the Hollywood establishment before. This book has something for every Fantasy fan and then some, from action to mystery to romance to mythical beings; it is full of what readers crave. The characters are vivid and emotionally charged, which creates the alternate reality for which many authors only strive. The main character, Cailleach McFay, is strong, brave, and loves with her full heart. She is a hero worthy of the classic epics. The other characters are just as vivid as Cailleach, staying with readers even after the tale is finished. Cailleach is not the only character at the forefront, but it is her story and she is telling it. The plot is a twisting and turning roller-coaster of action and events, which readers devour page by page until it is gone. The tale, though complex, is easy to follow and flows smoothly throughout. Landscapes transition through time and experience with nary a hiccup. Dark\u2019s/Goodman\u2019s work is creative and fresh. It envelopes readers in worlds and situations that are so skillfully created that each leaves little wonder as to why well-written literature is an art form. It is always wonderful to find a new exhilarating writer and/or work to explore. This author and series does not disappoint.\nRabbit {Paint me like one of your 19th century gothic heroines!} 2019-01-23 04:58\nThis book was okay. It's hard to read books after reading such an excellent one, because it dampens the books that you read after. It was a decent enough story and very readable.\nThe Angel Stone4 StarsIn the aftermath of the Nephilim's takeover of Fairwick College and the closing of the only remaining door to Faerie, students and faculty struggle against the tyranny of the new administration. In order to protect her allies and save her friends in Faerie, folklore professor Callie Macfay must travel back in time to 17th century Scotland to locate the fabled Angel Stone, and perhaps even save the life of her demon lover. The first half, which establishes the Nephilim's sinister and insidious reign in Fairwick and the resistance on the part of the residents, has more of a dystopian feel than the previous books and is very compelling. The second half detailing Callie's journey to the past is interesting although the history of the time period, i.e., the witch trials and the clashes between Scottish clans could have been better incorporated. As in the first two books, the charming setting, the colorful characters and the captivating romance make for wonderful reading. My only concern, i.e., that (view spoiler)[Callie would end up with William's descendent (hide spoiler)] was ultimately unfounded, and the resolution to this aspect of the story is very satisfying. All in all, Fairwick Chronicles is a well-written tale of magic, community, friendship and eternal love. Highly recommended for fans of both UF and PNR.\nChristy LoveOfBooks 2019-02-15 08:56\n3.5The Angel Stone is the third and final book in the Fairwick Chronicles, and unfortunately it wasn't always smooth sailing with this series. I loved the first book, The Demon Lover, but I had issues with the second book, The Water Witch, so of course, I was hesitant about reading The Angel Stone. There were a couple of irritating moments, but I ultimately enjoyed it. It also had a faster pace than the last book, which I was very grateful for.Since the door to Faerie closed, Fairwick hasn't been the same. A large portion of the unique population is stuck in Faerie, while the College is being taken over by the Grove and their Nephilim allies. There is a much more sinister agenda in the works than Callie could imagine. The only way for her to stop it is to go back in time to 17th century Scotland. Yes, the fact that there was some magical time travel bumped it up for me.Callie's character bugged me in the last book, but I liked her again in this one. It felt like she was clueless to what was right in front of her for way too long. Thankfully though, she turned out to be a stronger character in The Angel Stone. I was also pleasantly surprised with Frank. We get to see a lot more of his personality, and I liked him quite a bit more than I previously did. He brought some much-needed humor to the story. I enjoyed the other characters, too, but not as much as Frank.I mentioned that Callie goes back in time, and honestly, this was my favorite part of the book. I liked how the author weaved the past and the present together. There were certain aspects that weren't really explained and kind of brushed aside. While that would normally bother me to no end, I was okay with it in this case. I also enjoyed the romance a lot more in The Angel Stone. This is a major facet of the series, and I was pleased with how everything pulled together. I thought the name variations was a nice touch.Overall, I'm happy with the way the series ended. It was a tough hump to get over with the second book, but The Angel Stone made up for it. If you like magic, folklore, and romance, then you should give the Fairwick Chronicles a shot.\nThis is the third and final book in the Fairwick Chronicles. This is a beautifully written paranormal series about a woman who moves to a small town and ends up embroiled in a battle to save Fairie.There are spoilers ahead from the second book, so just be warned.In the previous book Callie McFay failed to stop the last door to Fairie from closing and suffered when her incubus lover died. To complicate things the evil nephilim have moved in and starting taking over the college that Callie teaches in and taking over the town of Fairwick. Callie has had mysterious dreams that point at their being one more door to Faerie somewhere. Callie has to figure out where this last door to Faerie is before the Fey of Fairwick start to die. Callie also has to figure out how to defeat and drive out the nephilim before they destroy everything about Fairwick that Callie holds dear.This book is just absolutely beautifully written and ties up the series nicely. This is a wonderful story about fey and time travel in a small country town. I have really loved this series. I love the beautiful settings and sensual writing.Callie has come a long way from who she was in the first book. She is still learning how to use her powers as a witch though. In this book she goes on a long self-exploratory journey to find the last door to Fairie. Then she goes on a long journey through time to find something called The Angel Stone, that is rumored to be able to defeat the nephilim. The writing is beautiful and I love the wonderful small town setting. There is a lot of mythology tied into this story. The faerie tale explored in the most depth is that of Tam Lin. In each book we have meet an aspect of Callie\u2019s demon lover. In the first book it was that of the demon lover/incubus Liam, in the second it was that of Bill the handyman that was the incubus broken down by love, and this book we meet yet another aspect of this man/fey.My only main complaint about his book was that the ending felt very rushed. I would have liked an epilogue showing how Callie ended up continuing on or something like that. There was just a lot that happened quickly and it left me feeling a bit unsatisfied with how everything ended. Don\u2019t get me wrong everything is tied up nicely, it is just kind of abrupt. I wish we had had a little time to bask in Callie\u2019s successes.Overall this has been an absolutely magical and beautiful series. I have really really enjoyed it and definitely plan on checking future books by this author. Juliet Dark also writes under the name Carol Goodman and has a young adult novel called Blythwood coming out shortly that I definitely want to read. This series is highly recommended to those who enjoy magical descriptions and magic, also to those who enjoy faerie based paranormal books.\nMina De Caro (Mina's Bookshelf) 2019-01-17 12:10\nRead my extended review on MINA'S BOOKSHELF http://minadecaro.blogspot.com/2013/0...Welcome to Fairwick College, a picturesque academic community located in a secluded area of upstate New York. Populated by a crowd of otherwordly creatures, disguised as humans and perfectly blended in the charming environment of a college town, Fairwick offers the best of Northern European folklore and fae mythology. In The Angel Stone , cross-genre novel and final installment in The Fairwick Trilogy (penned by literary fiction author Carol Goodman under the pseudonym of Juliet Dark), Gothic and paranormal elements, folk traditions and literary references give shape to a fantasy world richly conceived, vividly portrayed, and laced with an alluring dose of romantic flavor. Fairies and witches, vampires and goblins, demon lovers and nephilims, wizards and other mythical beings trapped in the 'shadow land' between humans and Fairy World, are involved in an epic fight for the control of the passages connecting the two realms. Torn between loyalty to her community and undying love for her own incubus, Callie McFay, a fairy/witch hybrid and only surviving doorkeeper of the Fae World, will need to travel back in time to a 17th century Scotland to recover an amulet (the Angel Stone) that can protect her people from the nephilims' aggression. While rescuing faes and humans from the tiranny of the fallen angels, Callie will find in her ancestral history an even more powerful talisman and a way to reconnect with her true love, once and for all.I wholeheartedly recommend The Fairwick Chronicles, with a warning: it would be a good idea to approach this highly imaginative trilogy starting with its previous installments. As cosmology, plot threads, and characters' back-stories are inextricably entwined and arc back to the prequel The Demon Lover (read my review here http://minadecaro.blogspot.com/2012/0...) and to transition episode The Water Witch, The Angel Stone doesn't really work as a stand-alone. Although the author provides her readers with a nutshell summary and sparse references to some pivotal facts concerning world-building and characters' back-story, only an ordered narrative framework can enhance your enjoyment and connection to cast and storyline. Although the romantic element doesn't unfold with the same intensity and sensual charge of the previous books, the relationship between Callie and the different human incarnations of her demon lover finds its gratifying fulfillment in this ultra-sweet finale. With an abundance of fairy lore, pagan traditions, and references to ancient rituals performed in occasion of the winter solstice, The Angel Stone is a perfect Halloween read.\nMelissa \u2665 Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf 2019-02-11 11:18\nHow sad I am that The Fairwick Chronicles have come to a close (I think) with The Angel Stone! This series is perhaps the epitomy of my favorite sort of read. Dark and gothic, magical and hopeful\u2026set in a small town with amazing characetrs. I just loved every moment of this ride Juliet Dark has taken us on.In the third piece of this trilogy we see the town banding together to defend itself and stand up for what the town of Fairwick embodies. And it sure embodies a lot! Every imaginable type of mythical/paranormal creature calls this town it\u2019s home and together they must figure out a way to regain a town and college lost to those who would control it and banish/destroy all the others. Add to that a new element \u2013 Time Travel \u2013 and one might say that Dark had attempted too much within this series\u2026.that all of these paranormal creatures and storylines is overload. I would wholeheartedly disagree!I loved how all of the characters, new and old, and even an adorable door mouse named Ralph, examine their weaknesses and find their inner strengths while on the path to save Faiwick and the college. Most of all though\u2026I loved that we and Callie have the opportunity to revisit the past, meet William, watch Callie grow finally into the strong and independant woman we knew was there\u2026and then finally get our Happily Ever After!Juliet Dark\u2019s amazing world building and character development coupled with the lyricism and beauty of her writing style pull everything together and make this a must read series.\nMarie Z. Johansen 2019-02-04 08:50\nI have been a life long fair tale fan, and I have been a big fan of this fantasy series by Juliet Dark (aka Carol Goodman) since it began with \"The Demon Lover\". Each of these books works well as a stand alone book though so you don't have to read the entire three book series, but I think that once you read \" The Angel Stone\" you will want to read the other two books!Over the course of the last two volumes I have become enthralled with the quirky world of Fairwick College, and the delightful mix of it's inhabitants. The witches, demons, fey,nephilium, and humans are all rife with possibility. The plots all contain what could be considered an allegorical basis in the truth of all humanity and they contain the best elements of what makes up all good, timeless fairytales. With The Angel Stone this trilogy sadly comes an end. I will miss waiting for the next book in the series,but I will console myself by reading more of Carol Goodman's other novels.The Angel Stone was a delightful read that held my interest. I almost read it all the way in a day! I love the creativity that comes through in this tale of love lost and found again- of just causes fought for well and won. Although this is a tale of fantasy there are bits of real world wisdom to be found as well Although YMMV ( your mileage may vary) I suspect that any fantasy/ paranormal or escapist reader will surely enough this creatively written delightful read.\nI must confess that I haven't read the other two books in this series, but this cover was so beautiful and enchanting that it drew me and demanded that I read this one. Not an issue, I was able to figure out what I needed to through the brief recounting the author does, and went on to enjoy this book immensely. Of course, now I want to go back and read the others. If you enjoy atmospheric novels this one is a good bet. I got the Gothic feel all the way through the book, and the dialogue is fantastic as well. The characters feel very natural and it was easy to find myself imagining that I was the one talking to them. The main character in this book is great and has a lot of personality and traits that make her not only a good heroine, but the kind of girl you want to become friends with. Over all, this was a very enjoyable story that I am happy to recommend to others. This review is based on a complementary copy from the publisher, provided through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.\nWe all see what we want or need to see in a book we read and with this book I see a adult fairy tale with a very satisfying ending. I was not sure about this book because I thought it started off a bit slow, but there is a reason for this. It has to built us up for the jump to the past along with the outcome that comes to be. I was so torn up about Liam, Bill and William....although all are one of the same. There is a bit of darkness that is part of this tale but without the darkness the light would not have the same dramatic effect. This was a wonderful fairy tale but this is for adults not recommended for those under 18 since there are some sex scenes.\nI had so much trouble finishing this book. The series went from okay to bad unfortunately.The characters really could not interest me anymore and I found the story lacking an interesting build-up and at times it was very predictable.\nari 2019-01-22 05:14\nWith more adventures than ever, Juliet Dark is back with the third book in the Fairwick Chronicles, Angel Stone. I found the first two books enjoyable, with the second book \u2013 The Water Witch coming in first and Angel Stone following closely behind, in second place.After the Gove \u2013 a group of witches -- took over Fairwick in the last chapter of the series, everything is more uptight and there something amiss. A new and unknown creature sets foot in town, and Callie \u2013 a half witch/ half fey has to overcome her numbness after the death of her one true love and try to set things straight, in order to protect her town. But these creatures cannot be defeated, without the angel stone. Callie has to venture back in time to the seventeenth century Scotland in order to obtain it. On her search for the stone, she meets with William \u2013 an incarnation of her lost love, and is met with indecision to save her friends back home and lose her chance at renewed love, or to remain and forget all that has happened in Fairwick.After reading The Water Witch, which had an amazing ending, I was in agony having to wait on the third book to be release. I really wanted to know what happened to Callie and her demon lover. I knew \u2013 I just knew Juliet Dark was going to come back with something creative! As always, the beginning of the book was a tad bit slow yet when the actions starts kicking in you won\u2019t be able to stop reading.One of my favorite parts would definitely be the time-traveling \u2013 who would mind a little journey to the past? I am glad that Callie was given an opportunity to meet with the incarnation of her lover. Because by doing so she was able to learn whom he was before, and how he became the man today. Their time together was fun, exciting, and full of passion. For The Demon Lover fans, I know it\u2019s their romance that everyone is looking forward too, and let me just say, you do not want to miss this! All I am going to say is that fans of Juliet Dark will not be disappointed!\nDragana 2019-02-09 11:15\n'Fairwick Chronicles' series always reminded me of a grown-up version of Harry Potter. I liked the magical school setting and different complications that teacher Callie solved in each book. The Angel Stoneis nice conclusion to the story , full of twists, surprises and interesting paranormal creatures. My only problem was that I have read The Water Witch long time ago and now felt a little bit detached from characters.\nChibineko 2019-02-01 10:02\nI can't really post a review until August 20th since that's one of the requirements from Ballantine, but I'll post a mini \"should you or shouldn't you buy it\" synopsis for now. This isn't an awful book, but it is different from the two that preceded it. It's worth checking out for the most part, but I would say that if you went into this with as high of an expectation as I did, that you should lower it some. (ARC provided through Netgalley)\nI'm sad that this book ended! really well written and sucked me in completely.\nDifferent from the second book and it broke my heart a little.I loved the ending. =)\nKhanh (the meanie) 2019-01-26 09:54\nBoring as fuck. On hold for now.\nDanika 2019-01-22 06:15\nThis one was marginally more interesting than the second book, but still a horrendous disappointment. There was absolutely no character development, no relationship development, the story moved so quickly that it read more like an itemized list of things to do rather than a detailed story. And frankly, by adding time-travel to 17th century Scotland, it seemed like Dark/Goodman was writing a cheap knock-off of Outlander. The overall ideas aren't bad, but they aren't really explored. These are basically underwhelming, underdeveloped, and under-seasoned romance novels that just happen to have an element of magic. Callie falls for 3 iterations of her incubus (Liam/Bill/William) with little to no explanation. I've felt more for characters in sonnets (poems in iambic pentameter that are 14 lines in length) than I did in about 1000 pages' worth of Dark's/Goodman's stories. Don't waste your time and money.\nBobbie 2019-01-24 04:59\nI enjoyed this series and how the characters were written. The first book was a little trying to get through as some of the incubus sex scenes used metaphors that were a bit funny to me but the author may have been trying to construe the old gothic romance tone and I just missed it at the time. The venture to the past was intriguing in the Angel Stone and all loose threads buttoned up nicely at the end. I will most likely look at other books written by Dark/Goodman as I very much enjoyed her writing style!\nFour stars: A sweet and satisfying end to a terrific trilogy.Since the door closed to Faerie, Callie has been struggling to pick up the pieces. She is desperately missing her incubus lover and all of her friends who were forced to leave the mortal realm. Her beloved Fairwick College is now in the hands of the despicable Duncan. The college is under tight control, and Callie is not happy with the new direction the school is headed. All the magic is being stamped out. Callie is determined to find a way to open another door into Faerie. She hopes that somehow she can find her lover and set things right, but the question is: where is the door? What I Liked:*It is always satisfying when you come to the end of a series and everything, for the most part, turns out as you hope. The Angel Stone is indeed a solid conclusion to a wonderful series. All the major plot lines are done up, the lingering questions are answered and all ends well for the characters you have come to love. I was happy with this final book, though, I am sad to bid farewell to these characters.*I enjoyed the faster pace of this book compared to its predecessors. It is shorter, quicker and it doesn't have has many plot threads to keep straight. I liked that this was a quick read.*Callie steps up, accepts her role as the doorkeeper and does what is necessary to ensure the safety of her students and her friends. She isn't second guessing herself and she has lost the wishy washy behavior. I liked the new, steadfast and courageous Callie. *Even though I missed many of the characters from the other books, since they were banished to Faerie, I was pleased to see some of my favorites take on stronger roles. I have always liked Frank and Sohelia and they played major parts in this installment. Ralph the door mouse is back and as adorable as ever. I also enjoyed the return of Jen and Moondance and I was pleasantly surprised by Callie's Grandmother's role. There are also a couple of new introductions such as Nan and Uma whom I admired. This series has always had strong secondary characters and I love that. I even found an appreciation for the boys in the frat house. *One of my favorite parts of the book was when Callie travels back in time to find the Angel Stone in order to defeat the nephilim. Her journey to Scotland takes her to the seventeenth century during the height of the witch hunts. Not only are there devastating and horrific witch hunts, but there is also the terrifying threat of the plague. It was a trying time, and I liked how Callie handled being thrust into this dangerous era. Her role in the past is significant, and I enjoyed watching her grow and help her new friends. I also liked seeing how the famous Stewart magical plaid came into being. It was a change of pace with this installment to see the historical blended with the modern, plus all the magic and paranormal entities that we all love.*The romance takes a back seat in this one, and I liked that. I felt that it got to be a bit much in the first book. Here it is subtle and it isn't the main focus, and it finally moves into something that is genuine and believable. I can't go into too many details, but I will say this. No more demon lovers and all that, instead there is a real romance that starts with a sturdy friendship. *The writing is once again lovely with plenty of detail and wonderful descriptions. And The Not So Much:*I missed the cozy feel of Fairwick. One of the main attractions to this series for me is the delightful town brimming with fun paranormal beings from witches, brownies, fey and more. Many of my favorite characters were missing this time around because they were forced to go behind the fairy door. Now the town is being taken over by the vile nephilim and it loses a lot of that sweet, charm that I love.*Even though I was pleased with the final outcome, I was a bit disappointed that it was predictable. No big twists or surprises in this one. *I adore Frank and Sohelia and I anxiously awaited the sparks between them to ignite, but I was left hanging. Why?All in all, The Fairwick Chronicles has been an engaging and fun series that I am sad to see end. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in this cozy town brimming with magic. At least everything draws to a satisfying close, and I can bid goodbye without reservations. I am looking forward to seeing what Juliet Dark has in store next. Favorite Quotations:\"A good teacher is a door to other worlds, she had written.\"\"I raised the sash and leaned my elbows on the sill to watch my students, their brightly hued jackets and sweaters like so many autumn leaves blown by the wind across the darkening campus.\"\"The wind summoned smelled like hot cocoa and fresh-baked apple pie, like fires burning in hearths and the sweater your mother wore on cold mornings to fetch the newspaper. It soughed through the trees with the creak of your front door opening and the whisper of slippered feet coming to greet you.\"\"When I thought about the tangle of time, my thoughts became as snarled as knotted yarn.\"I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated for this [email protected] Day Ramblings.\nBye bye Callie,I will miss you and the wonderful world of Fairwick.I adores this book serie and will recommend it to everyone that loves fairy tales and sinning as much as I do.I'm happy with the ending as well and what happened to the characters.It was easy to read and, even though sometimes slightly boring, it always had me in it's grip to continue reading. 8/10\nCherie Harrod 2019-02-01 07:06\nWonderful imaginative new twist on tailsI absolutely enjoyed this trilogy. Bright new elements and fairy lore mixed in a unique voice. Good pace, not overly repetitive, and wholly enjoyable.\nSatisfyingly enjoyable conclusion.\n4,5 stars.Great ending to a series.\nBooks Related with Dark Possession by Carol Goodman\nCarol Goodman - Carol Goodman is the author of The Lake of Dead Languages, The Seduction of Water, the Watchtower Trilogy(with husband Lee Slonimsky), and the young adult Blythewood series.

        "raw_content": "SMATSA Aviation Academy and the city of Vr\u0161ac have a long and reputable history of training pilots.\nFirst flight in Vr\u0161ac took place on August 11th, 1912 with the pilot-engineer Aurel Vlaiku in command of the airplane. Favorable winds made the Vr\u0161ac region optimal for gliders, and the first aeronautical club, \u201cNa\u0161a Krila\u201d (\u201cOur Wings\u201d), was formed in 1925. Capital investments came with a rise in popularity of the gliding sport, first of which was the project of building the first hangar for storing airplanes in 1934.\nAfter World War II, the intensive training of glider pilots in Vr\u0161ac continued. The group \u201cDeveti\u201d (\u201cNinth\u201d) opened a gliding school and they flew gliders that they designed and built themselves.\nDuring these post-war years, total flying hours per year performed in Vr\u0161ac were greater than in all other Yugoslav flying centers combined. As a result, the Headquarters of the Yugoslav Air Force declared Vr\u0161ac to be the Center for Glider Pilot Training. In 1947, Vr\u0161ac Gliding Center was handed over to the Civil Aviation Authorities of Yugoslavia.\nIn 1954, Civil Aviation Authorities appointed Vr\u0161ac to be the official State Aeronautical Center. Glider pilots were now joined by parachute jumpers, airplane pilots and model aircraft designers. Pilots from the Vr\u0161ac Aeronautical Center took place in many competitions and brought home many medals and records.\nControl of the Vr\u0161ac Aeronautical Center was handed over to JAT \u2013 Yugoslav Airlines in 1972. With a new title, JAT Flight Academy, the Center took on a new role \u2013 training of professional airline pilots. Over the next 38 years, almost 2000 pilots from Yugoslavia, India, Turkey, Libya, Angola, Malta and many other countries got their wings at the JAT Academy.\nIn 2010, Serbia and Montenegro Air Traffic Services Agency (SMATSA) acquired the academy, giving it a new name \u2013 SMATSA Aviation Academy (SAA). SMATSA has made significant investments into the academy, updating its fleet and infrastructure to bring them in line with the needs and expectations of today\u2019s aspiring pilots.\nVr\u0161ac, one of the oldest towns in the province of Banat, is located at the southeastern rim of the Pannonian Basin, some 80km northeast of Belgrade. With its long history of pilot training, Vr\u0161ac community has welcomed foreign students for over 40 years. Academy works in close coordination with the local authorities to ensure safety and security of all of its students.\nSAA is located at the Vr\u0161ac Airport, 4km from the city center. Its features are very unique, making them very difficult to match by competitors.\nPERSONNEL AND FACILITIES\nSAA has 40 employees, dedicated to their job and aviation, in general. Qualified theoretical instructors, experienced flight instructors and mechanics and administrative staff provide excellent working and training enviroment. Moreover, this atmosphere is obtained by training in pleasant and cosy working conditions. SAA owns a completely restored main building used for theoretical training with modern furnished classrooms, white boards, smartboards and projectors. There is a special computer room dedicated for radiotelephony simulation training as well as CBT training and testing. Flight operations building is located at the airport, with state of the art simulator and briefing rooms.\nSAA owns the Vr\u0161ac Airport which features three runways \u2013 1000m concrete runway and two grass runways, 800m and 600m respectively. Grass runways are used for early training to aid students in their first takeoffs and landings. With time, as their skills improve, students move up to the concrete runway. The mentioned concrete runway is equipped with PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) lights in both directions, as well as runway lights. There is a perimeter fence around the airport to prevent animals intrusion and possible incidents on taxiways and runways. Vr\u0161ac Airport and its vicinity offer the following navigation aids: NDB, VDF, D-VOR/DME.\nVr\u0161ac Airport has 1700 square kilometers of airspace dedicated for pilot training. This allows SAA to perform uninterrupted flight training in the safest possible setting, without a worry that outside traffic may interfere. Airport is close enough to the Belgrade International Airport, where some of the advanced training may take place.\nVr\u0161ac Airport is located in a controlled airspace managed by an ATC tower that is located at the airport. This allows students to learn how to communicate with the ATC from day one of their flight training and prepares them for the real world.\nReporting office is located in the ATC tower which provides a meteorology service 24/7.\nAcademy has a brand new ambulance and fire brigade along with a new \u201cFollow me\u201d car.\nSAA has partnered with Hotel \u201cSrbija\u201d in Vr\u0161ac to provide accommodations to prospective students. You can find more information regarding Hotel \u201cSrbija\u201d on their website: www.hotelsrbija.rs.

Instead, he was given the \"gift\" of madness. After finally defeating Osborn, Peter committed himself to giving up the life of a super-hero. (I think that's the thirteenth time this decade?)\nFor the first two issues since, anyways, he's appeared to keep his promise, as a mysterious new Spider-Man protects the city, leaving Peter to enjoy the good life: working at a dream scientific research facility as Mary Jane pulls in the big money as the supermodel every fanboy knew she could be. Oh, and Aunt May's back. Don't ask why or how, because there's no justification or purpose behind it. Yes, life is good for our friend Peter.

Good, good. Peter has a bit of a run-in with one of his brilliant co-workers, but minor conflicts are easily overlooked ... until Peter's experiment goes up in smoke. Attention is (shockingly easily) shifted from the near-dangerous accident when Pete and co. are informed that Spider-Man is on CNN, fighting some supervillain right outside of Osborn Industries' offices.\nIt seems that this shadowy newcomer to the supervillain scene is too much for the unexperienced arachnoid. Somehow (we'll chalk it up to Spider-speed for now), Peter manages to get from his research building to Osborn Industries in a matter of seconds, and is able to save Spidey from death at the flaming hands of Shadrac! Pete takes Spidey to the rooftops to make sure he's okay, but -- surprise! -- Spidey's a she! Turns out that the Spider-Man of the last two issues was a teenage girl that participated in the ritual of the five, that got the gift of power. But, still, her powers are not enough to beat Shadrac, without the experience that Peter has had. Having already put on the mask, so that young Miss Spidey would not see the face of her saviour, Peter wrestles with his eternal dilemma, and finally decides that he must again become the one, true, (everybody with me, now) Spider-Man!\nThese formulaic, generic stories are symptoms of a sick line of comics.

        "raw_content": "Satellite-based estimation of surface solar irradiance\nPhilippe Blanc, Beno\u00eeit Gschwind, Mireille Lef\u00e8vre, Lionel M\u00e9nard, and Lucien Wald\nDatabases of solar radiation values measured since 1985, which are of high interest in domains such as renewable energy, health, or architecture, are now freely available online.\nSurface solar irradiance (SSI) is a measure of solar radiation at the surface of the Earth. More precisely, it is defined as the amount of solar incident energy per unit time, per unit area detected on a horizontal surface at ground level. In August 2010, SSI was identified as an essential climate variable by the Global Climate Observing System,1 meaning that it is a parameter of key importance for understanding and monitoring the global climate system. In addition to such climatology applications, SSI is of high interest in domains as varied as solar energy, health, architecture, agriculture, and forestry.\nSSI estimation can be made using solar radiation measurements from the existing network of meteorological ground stations. However, these are sparsely distributed worldwide, and stations measuring SSI on the long-term are very rare. Therefore, satellite-based methods for SSI estimation, such as Heliosat,2 represent an operational alternative to ground-based approaches, as they enable a better spatial and temporal coverage. Indeed, several studies demonstrate the superiority of the use of satellite data over alternative methods.3\nThe Meteosat series of satellites are geostationary (they travel above Earth's equator at a speed matching that of the planet's rotation) and provide synoptic views of Europe, Africa and the Atlantic Ocean for meteorological purposes. Initiated by the European Space Agency, the program is currently operated by EUMETSAT, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites.\nImages taken in the visible channel clearly depict clouds and, more generally, the optical state of the atmosphere (see Figure 1). They are currently used to assess SSI with spatial and temporal resolutions better than those delivered by the Surface Radiation Budget project (an alternative scheme aimed at determining radiative fluxes) over the whole Earth.4\nFigure 1. Example of a Meteosat SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager) image in the visible channel, taken on September 7, 2010 at 1200 UTC. Reflectance increases from black to white (copyright 2011 EUMETSAT).\nThe HelioClim (HC) project is an initiative of Mines ParisTech, the French school of engineers, and ARMINES, a non-profit French organization. It was launched in 1997 to increase knowledge of SSI and to provide wide access of SSI values for any site or any instant within a large geographical area and a large period of time.5 The project covers Europe, Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean, and we have created two databases that can be accessed online.\nThe first of these databases, HC-1, offers daily values of SSI for 1985 to 2005. We created it from archives of three-hours-interval images from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, B2 data-set (ISCCP-B2)6 of the Meteosat First Generation, to produce estimations of daily values of SSI with a pixel size of 5km and spatial sampling of 30km. The uncertainty of the daily and monthly averages of SSI provided by HC-1 was assessed by comparing its values to ground-based measurements for sites in Europe and Africa. We found strong underestimates for latitudes greater than 45\u00b0 and smaller than \u221245\u00b0 because there is often not enough data to accurately describe the daily variation of SSI.7 On the contrary, its quality in depicting SSI in the Mediterranean basin, Africa, and likely the Central Atlantic Ocean, is very good. The bias in monthly averages is less than 10 W/m2 in absolute value and less than 5% in relative value.8\nThe HC-3 database improves spatial and time resolution, uncertainty on SSI, and time to access data. It exploits the enhanced capabilities of the Meteosat Second Generation series of satellites to deliver values of SSI every 15min, with a nadir spatial resolution of 3km, in near real-time (see Figure 2). Comparison between HC-3 and ground-based measurements of SSI reveals a very good agreement.7 The bias in monthly means is less than 10W/m2 in absolute value and less than 5% in relative value. The correlation coefficient is greater than 0.97.\nFigure 2. Daily mean of SSI on May 18, 2008 for the field of view of Meteosat.\nDissemination is a key activity in the HC project, and we are committed to provide the public with easy access to SSI values. Both databases were conceived to offer fast access to large time-series of SSI through the SoDa (solar radiation data) service, an initiative devoted to professionals in solar energy and radiation.9 In response to the approximately 2 million requests registered in 2010, we have developed web services to disseminate the HC databases,10 and a dedicated community portal has been created for this purpose.11 It exposes HC data using Open Geospatial Consortium standards as maps (Web Map Service) as well as time-series (Web Processing Service).\nRequests for more accuracy continue, in particular in the decomposition of the global radiation into several ranges of wavelengths, and into direct and diffuse radiation. One approach to reach this goal is to improve both the physical modeling of the optical state of the atmosphere and the quality of the model's inputs. In the future, we will further develop such a method in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center. Named Heliosat-4, this new approach is aimed at creating databases of solar irradiance improved with respect to the current ones.\nThe authors are grateful to EUMETSAT and Meteo-France (the French national meteorological service) for the provision of Meteosat data and the World Radiation Data Center for supplying SSI data for ground measuring stations. The authors are also thankful to the company Transvalor, responsible for the SoDa Service, for permitting an efficient access to HelioClim databases.

Image: Getty\nBut Vermeulen took exception to Taylor\u2019s comments, and that\u2019s when things exploded.\n\u201cI can\u2019t believe you are supporting a pathetic effort by our national team,\u201d he ranted.\n\u201cIf I was in the team that was bowled out for 54 I would be totally embarrassed and would just shut the f*** up and get in the nets instead of posting f***ing sh** like this.\u201d\nTaylor wasn\u2019t having any of it, biting back in a big way.\n\u201cHere we go! Coming from someone who is chemically imbalanced\u2026You my friend are what a true embarrassment looks like.\n\u201cTake a look in the mirror on what you have done for yourself and your country, apart from burning down one of the few establishments we had.\u201d\nTaylor was referring to an incident in 2006 where Vermeulen set fire to Zimbabwe\u2019s cricket academy following his non-selection in the national side.\nVermeulen was acquitted of arson in 2008, deemed to be suffering psychiatric problems resulting from a blow to the head he suffered in Australia in 2004 (which you can see in the video above).\nVermeulen also took exception to another Facebook user\u2019s comments and told Taylor to \u201cbe careful what you say about me u (sic) little f***.\u201d\nTaylor posted screenshots of the conversation on Twitter, calling Vermeulen a \u201cpsycho\u201d.\nVermeulen has a history of behavioural problems.\nIn the 1990s he once took the stumps from the field and locked himself in the change rooms after getting out in a school game.\nHe threw a ball at a group of spectators during an English club game in 2006, receiving a 10-year ban for his troubles.\nHe was then banned for 37 years from Zimbabwean cricket in 2015 for racist comments on a Facebook post written by black cricketer Prosper Utseya.",

        "raw_content": "Often in the morning after a stormy party or feast, it is difficult for a man abused alcohol to do without a hangover. A severe headache, dizziness, irritability, and nausea \u2013 are not the only symptoms of the bad state. How to drink sensibly and without serious consequences? And what do you do if there is a hangover in the morning, which spoils all the plans? In order to do this, there are lots of ways and tips to help you quickly get rid of the bad state of alcoholic intoxication.\nMore unpleasant hangover symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, chills, and pressure surges can significantly undermine the health and ruin the mood after a fun-filled evening. It is believed that a hangover occurs only after drinking large amounts of alcohol. Unfortunately, this is not so. Often enough a few glasses of alcohol that morning would have to experience for you all the \u201ccharms\u201d of consumed alcohol. Especially strong unpleasant troubles will be brought by the hangover in the morning for those who are not able to stay at home and have to do their normal activities.\nHangover is a very unpleasant condition that is manifested by nausea, vomiting, trembling hands, and the general weakness of the body, irregular blood pressure, and malaise. Do not be surprised if during a hangover you feel guilty, even if you do not have done anything special. All this is due to the biochemistry, chemical processes in our body. Just after the holiday healthy person feels an aversion to alcoholic beverages. If there is no such feeling, it is an occasion for serious concern. The absence of signs of a hangover can be a sign that the person becomes an alcoholic and gets addicted to alcohol.\nWhat happens in the body from alcohol?\nWhen human begins to drink alcoholic beverages, and the first drops of alcohol are getting into the body, mass changes and rearrangements begin to happen. Alcohol has a toxic effect on the human body, as is becoming a toxic substance (namely, acetaldehyde). And because of it, there are appear other toxins in the body, which have a devastating effect on human health.\nSo alcohol enters the liver and then begins to transform into a toxic substance with a special enzyme. Alcohol is oxidized to acetaldehyde in the body and begins to engage in its expansion. Subsequently, as a result of various chemical processes in the stomach, there is a safe for human acetic acid. Thereafter, it is converted into water and carbon dioxide.\nActually, these chemical processes in the body cause the individual tolerance of alcohol. Individual sensitivity to alcohol depends on the speed of just these two reactions: the oxidation of alcohol to toxic substances and its subsequent degradation in the liver. If both reactions occur quickly, the amount of acetaldehyde in the blood will be minimized. This is a reason for some people\u2019s resistance to alcohol. If the person enzymes are produced slowly, as a result, the chemical processes in the body will also be slower than necessary. This explains why some people get sick from just a few drinks, and someone can drink all night and almost did not get drunk.\nTreatment for alcoholism is based on the knowledge of these two reactions in the body. Patients are prescribed drugs that slow down the decomposition of acetaldehyde. As a result, all alcohol becomes a real poison for the body and remains there for a long time. Therefore, the patient begins to feel bad from even small doses of alcohol, so that there is a strong aversion to the use of alcoholic beverages.\nAll of these chemical processes, described above, explain why different people drink differently. Different traditions of drinking were not in vain because the Europeans have found a special alley gene responsible for the production of substances that break down alcohol to non-toxic substances. In Asian nations, especially the Japanese, things with the elaboration of this material are much worse. That\u2019s why they get drunk faster and feel worse after drinking alcohol than the average European.\nBiochemistry can also explain the culture of drinking alcoholic beverages from small vessels. This is done in order to slow down the intake of alcohol and give the body time to process it.\nIt has been proved by scientists that women, in general, have fewer genes responsible for the production of alcohol dehydrogenase than men. Therefore, women get drunk faster, stay drunk longer and feel worse in the morning.\nTherefore, to avoid the heavy physical condition, many are wondering how to get rid of a hangover? Not knowing the reason, it is very difficult to find the answer to this question.\nThe causes of hangover:\nDehydration. Alcohol severely dehydrates the body. However, this is not due to lack of liquid, and because of its improper distribution throughout the body. There is plenty liquid: it is the cause of bags under the eyes, and edema, and puffy face.\nPoisoning. There is no secret how alcohol can poison the body. Because, during its decay, there are poisons formed in the body, which also constitute the new toxins. All this adversely affects the liver. Its work is especially troubled by cocktails, rum, vermouth, tequila because the liver has to deal not only with alcohol but also various impurities.\nDisorders in work of the brain. As a result, of the collapse of the alcohol in the body, there is acetaldehyde, which slows down brain cells. So the next morning the patient reacts to all surrounding sounds and events. Because of this hypersensitive, a person can even be nervous because of too bright light or loud noises. Just this morning he may be an unwarranted sense of shame and guilt, which is called \u201cadrenaline anguish.\u201d In the struggle with the hangover, the body has to expend a lot of vitamins, macro and micro elements. So the body tries to restore the acid-alkaline balance, sleep, etc.\nHow to get rid of the hangover effectively?\nSo, how to help the poor body to get rid of bad condition? Many people use the favorite of folk remedies, some prefer special tablets. The main thing is that this facility should struggle not with the symptoms of a hangover, but with its causes, more precisely \u2013 intoxication.\nMethods for removing of toxins from the body:\nExcretion of toxins from the body by gastric lavage or enema.\nIf the previous methods seem radical and unacceptable, it is possible to adopt such pharmacy sorbents, such as activated carbon products based on lignin, which will be advised by the pharmacist at the pharmacy.\nIn principle, the organism itself copes with deducing poisons, but many folk remedies and small secrets can help him deal with it quickly and effectively.

        "title": "Strictly Writing: Grief and creativity: what happens to your writing when your life falls apart?",
        "raw_content": "Grief and creativity: what happens to your writing when your life falls apart?\n2013 so far has been, I can categorically state, the worst year of my life. But that\u2019s good for writers, yeah? It\u2019s all material. That\u2019s what I told myself, at the start of the year, when I found out that I had to leave the flat I\u2019d lived in for 11 years and was plunged into a property market that seemed to have gone insane when I wasn\u2019t looking. When I developed, out of the blue, a medical condition called TMJ, which for about three months left me in fairly constant pain (in my face! Which is as delightful as it sounds). When my mum was repeatedly hospitalised with vague diagnoses that never quite equated to effective treatment. I\u2019ll get through this, I said, and it\u2019ll all be great material.\nThen two days after I moved out of my flat (having spectacularly failed to find a new place to live), my mum\u2019s health took a turn for the worse, and she died, and suddenly it didn\u2019t feel like just material any more. I was homeless, and grieving, and, as an only child, faced with the burden of clearing out my mum\u2019s council flat and sorting her estate alone, all the while (theoretically) house hunting and doing enough freelance work to pay for the roof that I would eventually, hopefully have over my head again. Juggling these demands, while shuttling my belongings between those friends who were kind enough to put me up and dealing with the emotional fall out exhausted me. I was numb, and in shock, not only at how I felt but how others reacted: overwhelmed by the kindness of some, but dumbfounded by the absence of others \u2013 of all those messages from people who said things like \u2018if there\u2019s anything I can do, let me know\u2019, \u2018anything\u2019 clearly not extending to replying to text messages or emails that dared to express any sentiments but the stoic Britishism \u2018I\u2019m fine\u2019. And then, just when I thought I was finding a foothold in the new, shifting landscape of my life, a close friend died unexpectedly, and I was abruptly plunged into a community of grief, all of us stunned and staggering with shock, the unique bombshell of a life ended far too soon, and I was back among the people on the other side of those texts and emails, struggling to find the right words to soothe someone who cannot be consoled. What chance does creativity have in amongst all that?\nAnd yet writing isn\u2019t a hobby for me. It\u2019s not something I can afford to shelve until I feel better or have more time \u2013 it\u2019s a big part of what I do for a living. True, with no publisher breathing down my neck I have a certain amount of leeway where my new book is concerned (in the outline stages when the first storms broke, and currently sitting in a pile of notebooks in a friend\u2019s spare bedroom \u2013 not, alas, the spare bedroom where I currently am) but I still need to bring in royalties, and to do that I need to promote my books, and I need to maintain that momentum by keeping the series going, because in a competitive market, it\u2019s all too easy to be forgotten. The magazine I write for can\u2019t change its print deadline, and the websites I create content for still expect that regular stream of articles. The world doesn\u2019t stop, however much I might want it to. Writing might seem a trivial activity in the midst of all this chaos, but anyone who writes \u2013 because it puts a roof over their heads or just because it lets them be a little saner amongst all the craziness \u2013 will tell you that it\u2019s not. So how do you hold onto it? How do you keep going? Here are some things that helped me. Maybe they\u2019ll help you.\nPare back to the essentials \u2013 as a freelancer, my main priority had to be the clients I already had, so I concentrated my efforts on hitting the necessary deadlines, and focusing on the work that was in front of me, as it was important to me that I didn\u2019t let anyone down, especially as I rely on repeat business and word of mouth recommendations. This isn\u2019t ideal \u2013 I really should have spent the last three months out there generating new work as well, so I may well have a nice little financial crisis looming to add to my woes \u2013 but sometimes you have to recognise your limitations. Sure, it was frustrating to have to put my book and other big projects on hold, but when getting out of bed in the morning becomes one of the day\u2019s biggest achievements, you need to marshal your energy. Likewise, if you\u2019re doing a nine-to-five (or, let\u2019s face it, these days, more likely an 8.30 to somewhere after 6ish) you may need to scale back other projects, no matter how important they feel to you. Grief is bloody exhausting \u2013 don\u2019t set yourself up for disappointment by expecting to achieve too much.\nThink small, think different \u2013 one writer friend of mine put her book on hold in the aftermath of a relationship break up, but channelled her creative energy through a blog, which felt like a more manageable commitment. Another novelist friend recommends journaling, and I must admit I have started to find it helpful. You\u2019re still actually putting pen to paper, so it feels vaguely productive, but since it\u2019s totally private, you can be completely unfiltered and self-indulgent, and basically write any old rubbish that you like without having to worry about anyone else judging you for it. If that sounds too airy fairy, think snippets: make notes of ideas without thinking that you have to follow them up or develop them, write character scenes, or sketches. For once, allow yourself to think small.\nDon\u2019t feel guilty \u2013 let yourself off the hook however you feel, whether it\u2019s good or bad. Sometimes a crisis can be a spur for creativity (I finished my first novel in the aftermath of a massive break up; while the rest of my life fell to pieces, the words fell into place), so don\u2019t feel like you are indulging something trivial or insignificant if you do get the urge to write. I did a couple of pieces recently \u2013 snippets, really, that I produced to promote my book \u2013 and I found myself feeling guilty for writing them, guilty for enjoying them, then guilty for putting them out there and promoting them. My God, my mum just died! How could I be faffing about on Twitter? But loss brings plenty of misery \u2013 don\u2019t begrudge yourself any bright spots when they happen.\nAsk for support (but be prepared not always to get it) \u2013 some people will amaze you with their supportiveness, others\u2026won\u2019t. They might have their own stuff to deal with (you\u2019d be amazed what\u2019s happening behind the scenes in other people\u2019s lives that you often only find out in retrospect), or they might just be thoughtless pricks, but either way you need to not stress about other people\u2019s reactions. Seek out whoever you find it easiest to be with. I\u2019ve been making my living from writing of one sort or another for 20 years now (alright, generally not the glamorous sort, but still) and some of my friends even now don\u2019t understand how much a part of me it is \u2013 and that\u2019s fine. I\u2019m sure there are plenty of blindspots in my own empathy (and god knows I can\u2019t even begin to count the amount of times I have had my own tact bypass when to comes to the lives and crises of others) so I can\u2019t expect everyone to always understand how my priorities work. For instance, I recently told a friend I had written an article on my mother\u2019s death for a magazine, and she was properly , genuinely appalled, as if I\u2019d stuck the coffin on eBay or something. Don\u2019t feel bad for avoiding people who make you feel worse for caring about what you care about; you can always pick up with them again later down the line when you feel stronger, or realise this is an opportunity to shed some people who no longer belong in your life.\nWrite about it, or don\u2019t write about it, either is fine \u2013 You may feel your situation is the germs of some great creative masterpiece, or it may make you want to write about kittens and romance and shopping. You can feel disappointed in yourself for not tackling big issues in your work when you\u2019re confronted with them in your life, but do whatever works for you.\nHave faith \u2013 even if your crisis has plunged you into a massive writer\u2019s block (or your current crisis is a massive writer\u2019s block), the words will come back. I\u2019m already finding my character\u2019s voices popping back into my head again, and snippets of ideas are starting to come to me. It may be a while before I get to develop any of them, but the creative crisis I envisaged has so far failed to emerge, though for a month or so I feared that, on top of everything else I\u2019d lost, the ability to write a decent sentence had vanished too. It may take longer for you \u2013 life might just get in the way for a while \u2013 but it\u2019ll come back. Trust me on this one; it\u2019ll be ready when you are.\nThis is how the inside of my mind currently feels\nTracey Sinclair is the author of 4 books including the Dark Dates series, the latest of which is Wolf Night (see Darkdates.org). She\u2019s also currently still looking for a nice little one bedroom flat in Brighton to rent, so if you know of anywhere\u2026\nLabels: creative writing, crisis, grief\nWhat a wonderfully insightful post. I'm so sorry you're having a ghastly year. Mine came many years ago when my husband and daughter died ten months apart leaving me with a baby and toddler and a fraction of the income. I could only write by cocooning myself in the illusion that it was OK, for maybe an hour a day. I wrapped myself in his jumper, put one of her teddies on my desk and wrote. But what came out was beautiful, looking back at it now, but dark. Now I have to capture a little of that to write dark days in my character's life.\nI hope you find a little haven where you can heal.\nTracey, my heart goes out to you. You've given us such a poignant portrait of grief and not pulled any punches. Good writing is real writing, unflinching and authentic. Thank you for sharing and please keep us posted on your continuing journey.\nLikewise, thank you Rebecca for sharing your story too.\nBoth remind me that writing can be a way of coming to terms with the world and making sense out of the senseless. Wishing you both well. Dx\nWhat a moving yet inspirational post. Some people, even friends, will cross the road to avoid you when you are experiencing troubled times as they are at a loss for words; others will express their feelings and in words and actions. In some cultures there is a prescriptive grieving process. It doesn't make your loss any easier, but friends and relatives know how to react.\nI'm sorry you've had such a terrible time. We all have different stories to tell - and tho yours is unique, I suspect many of has can talk of times when the world just falls into bits.\nAnd that's exactly what it feels like - nothing connects properly. During my blackest year, I loved from day to day (sometimes from hour to hour), with the priority of looking after myself tho it was the last thing I felt like doing.\nThere were days when I scribbled for hours, and others when I wrote not one word. Both were what I needed to do at the time. And now - I have no need to go back to it. Maybe there is something there I could 'use' but I don't want to. It's behind me now. And one day you'll wake to the song of blackbirds and realise you're smiling again.\nYou have definitely not lost the ability to write. Your post is moving and uplifting. I could not stop reading. I am sure your skill and your strength of character will keep you going.\nNita lear said...\nTracey this is truly inspirational, it makes you think which all great writers do. Keep writing we all need to hear your snippets, whatever the subject\nOh Tracey, I'm so sorry you've had such a horrible year and thank you for the inspiring post.\nThe sentence, 'you\u2019d be amazed what\u2019s happening behind the scenes in other people\u2019s lives that you often only find out in retrospect' struck a chord with me. When my dad died, I looked around the hospital in a daze. Nurses and doctors were going about their business, talking about what they were having for dinner, or where they were going at the weekend and I just wanted to shout, 'Hello? My dad has just died!' It made me realise that the world doesn't stop; people continue to live their own lives, oblivious to others most of the time.\nI hope things are on the up for you now. No experience is a wasted experience and how ever painful it is at the time, you can draw on those real raw feelings at a later date and use them in something else.\nI am not sure if I have ever commented here before, but your post spoke to me...\nYour words evoked many feelings, times in my own life when I have felt battered and emotionally bruised. I am sorry these things are happening to you all at once. Life is so unpredictable isn't it?\nIts taken me years to learn not to be afraid to embrace every day, smile, and tell people how much I value them, be it friends family or work associates. Its worth doing though...\nThe sun will shine in your life again, you just need some time to find yourself.\nThanks for your comments, everyone. I really do appreciate them.\nThank you for sharing with us - a very moving post. I'm so sorry for your loss. I too am an only child. I can only write though when I'm happy (similarly I can only eat when I'm happy and content) so anything like this would throw me completely off course.\nGreat article Tracy. Well done and well written also love the illustrative photo.\nAnnie Parker said...\nHello Tracey, I found your article as I was googling about, with a vague sense that I needed to reconnect with the trauma and loss I've been through myself. I found it enormously helpful. I am a musician (I play flute, also sax and piano), and although my main focus I suppose is playing, I write too.\nI lost my (apparently healthy, and definitely vibrant) mum suddenly 11 years ago. I entered a long period of shock, grief, reflection and a slow, slow coming to terms with it all. At the time mum died, my sister decided to walk out of my life as well, and in doing so, made any connections with my niece and nephew and some other family members tenuous at best, fairly non-existent at worst.\nAs I, like you, had to find a way through not only my intense grief but also a way to go through all my mum's things (she also had plenty of things of my dad's who died many years earlier, and amazing things from my grandparents who I never knew), I found the only way I could get through it in my new, completely-alone state was to write poems, some were snippets, some were longer, one took about 4 or 5 yrs to write as I slowly cleared (or just sat in) the house. I also began to write songs (I'd not really written songs before). I got very attached to the idea that sometime in the near future I would record a whole album of the songs and sell it not only as music but as potential help to others going through similar loss. However, it was suggested to me by my (wonderful) counsellor that perhaps I had got so attached to this idea that it was preventing me from other creativity that by now might be trying to get out.\nThis is where I found your article particularly helpful : you talked about GUILT. Right now I feel I am at a point where I have the potential for enormous freedom in front of me : Freedom in how I live and freedom in how I create. Unfortunately, everything has a large dollop of guilt attached to it. Firstly, I have a lot of financial freedom (boing! guilt : through all the loss, I have been left with enough to amply cover my head etc). Secondly, I have freedom in terms of time and geography (boing! guilt : why do I feel so free to move about when others seem so locked in place; what about commitment to my pupils etc etc) Thirdly, although I love what I do, I am not locked into too many projects/work situations/commitments so I have great creative freedom (boing! what on earth will the world think!).\nAll this is scary, hence my need to reconnect as I said at the start : Recently I have been writing a very different sort of stuff, in fact it's what I've always wanted to do, and maybe now is the time I can come back to it, and give it it's time. I feel guilty, in fact, for arriving at this point. The music I am writing now is upbeat, exciting, rhythmical instrumental stuff, and explores the different cultures of the musicians I like working with - and interestingly for me the more poignant kind of stuff that I was writing before is making an appearance again, but in a slightly different context somehow. The battles I am having to wage against my own doubts and lack of confidence as well as all those perceptions about what I think the world is thinking are immense, but I'm getting there; on reading your article I am realising the importance of not losing sight of the fact that I've been through a time of great loss, upheaval and growth, and to allow the repercussions and impact and effect of that free movement through me and my writing, not to hinder it but to welcome it, let it be what it is, and just carry on as and when.\nThank you for your article, which I found at just the right time, and I hope my rather long comment is useful to someone! Annie\nThank you for sharing your personal experiences, Annie. Creativity is a really positive way to find a path to a new equilibrium, as is getting out in Nature. We really appreciate your willingness to talk 'truth' because, at its heart, good writing allows us - writer and reader alike - to be vulnerable and present, to understand what it truly means to be human. A poet friend recently lent me a copy of Anne Lamott's 'bird by bird' and she talks about the importance of writing about the raw stuff, whether anyone else reads it or not.

        "raw_content": "Turkish Airlines Inaugural Flight Takes Off from Houston\u2019s George Bush Intercontinental Airport\nStyle Magazine Newswire | 4/2/2013, 12:25 p.m. | Updated on 4/2/2013, 12:25 p.m.\nTurkish Airlines\u2019 Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Executive Committee Hamdi Top\u00e7u, Turkish Minister of Economy Zafer \u00c7a\u011flayan, and Houston Mayor Annise Parker\nTurkish Airlines, one of the world\u2019s fastest growing airlines, is expanding its presence in the United States. Today marks the launch of its newest gateway in Houston, Texas. Houston becomes the fifth U.S. gateway, joining Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Washington, D.C. The airline will offer non-stop flights from George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) to Istanbul\u2019s Ataturk International Airport (IST).\n(top right): Hamdi Top\u00e7u, Turkish Airlines\u2019 Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Executive Committee\n\u201cWe\u2019re delighted that Turkish Airlines can now serve the Houston community and better connect them with our services to 220 destinations globally via Istanbul,\u201d says Hamdi Top\u00e7u, Turkish Airlines\u2019 chairman of the board and chairman of the executive committee. \u201cHouston is a mecca for international travel. Our hope is that these new flights will make international travel easier and more convenient for both business and leisure travelers in the area.\u201d\nMembers of the media, along with Hamdi Top\u00e7u, Houston Mayor Annise Parker, the Consul General of Turkey in Houston Cemalettin Ayd\u00edn, Turkish Minister of Economy Zafer \u00c7a\u011flayan, and Houston Airport System Director of Aviation Mario Diaz, attended the launch event at Terminal D at George Bush Intercontinental Airport before Turkish Airlines\u2019 inaugural flight. The event featured authentic Turkish cuisine, live entertainment, a ribbon cutting ceremony and speaker remarks by top officials from local government, Turkish Airlines, the Turkish government and the Houston Airport System.\n\u201cThe direct flights to Istanbul will strengthen trade, investment and tourism ties for Houston in Turkey,\u201d said Mayor Annise Parker. \u201cI will lead a trade mission later this month to Istanbul to capitalize on the new air service and develop more economic relationships that will build a stronger bond between our global markets.\u201d\nFor the first time ever, Houstonites will be able to experience firsthand Turkish Airlines\u2019 unparalleled service, award-winning gourmet cuisine and amenities on the Boeing-777 ER aircraft en route to Istanbul. Houston service will start with four flights per week: Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Beginning July 3, 2013, flights from IAH to IST will increase to six times per week: Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.\n\"This new route positions Texas with a new strategic advantage for international commerce since more than 300 Houston companies have business or trade ties with Turkey,\" said Mario C. Diaz, Director of the Houston Airport System. \"In addition, Turkish Airlines offers outstanding connections from Istanbul, where a connecting passenger is only three hours flying time to 50 different counties.\"\nThirty-nine million passengers flew with Turkish Airlines in 2012 and that number is expected to grow by nine million this year, resulting in a 20% increase compared to 2011. With Houston being the fourth largest city in the United States in terms of population and home to thousands of Turkish residents it was a natural choice for the airlines\u2019 next gateway. Houston is comprised of many different ethnic communities, many whom travel frequently to their homelands. Trade missions between Texas and Turkey have dramatically increased over the past few years and with the introduction of Turkish Airlines in the Houston market, investment opportunities will multiply.\nTurkish Airlines Launches Non-stop Flights Between Houston and Istanbul\nAir New Zealand to Land in Houston Beginning December 2015\nAir New Zealand Launches Nonstop Service from George Bush Intercontinental Airport\nIAH one of First Airports to Offer Flights to Cuba\nSpirit Airlines Launches Nonstop Flights to Latin America",

I spent all day prepping for Thanksgiving dinner. And then serving it. And then enjoying the company. And then kissing my sweet wife after all the commotion settled down. And then doing the dishes after she went to bed, no doubt exhausted from a day of her full time job, a two hour conference call for UCC related matters, and then straight into our gathering. Now, after 1:30 in the morning, the time seems right to reflect.\nWhy was my Thanksgiving dinner on Monday? We're going out to Death Valley once again for the weekend, with a prelude of a day spent driving in Sequoia forest which I think is something we've never done before, but for a cursory pass through the valley where CA-178 cuts along the Kern River, again, done last year. The dinner is also put on for the benefit (mostly) of the Young Adults group at church, timed to try to get people together before scattering for the \"real\" holiday.\nAll day long the thought was with me how big a day this was in my life. It was nearly unimaginable in 1999 and some years before that. That year on Thanksgiving, while everyone else was having their family gatherings, I was not. I was in the midst of a dark spell in life, taking consolation\u2014like Silas Marner who counted his gold daily because it was his whole life\u2014in studio recording. Though on that day in 1999, there wasn't much consolation because I was throwing drumsticks at the sheetrock after so many frustrated attempts to play drums to a first draft of Zehdihm's Flight (a track that took two more drafts to get right, one featuring Mike Keneally on it). At the same time, my grandmother Virginia was taken next door to be with the large and warm family of evangelical Christians who took care of her so well. They were probably trying to \"save\" me so I was suspicious of all their conversations and gestures, but in retrospect, the daughter, Connie, was always good to me. She left me a plate of food to eat so I'd be a part of their dinner, even in my small way. I got to it about 10pm or so, long after the festivities came to a close. I really hated it all. I was so so lost.\nIn between that one holiday and Thanksgiving in 2000, I don't know how many times I was so depressed and contemplating suicide. It was kind of a dull ache like these things are; too painful to live, too frightening to die. Too strong a feeling of failure in life; too likely I could fail at suicide too. This was long before the current \"FAIL!\" meme, and for me, even before memes! I just felt that way, less as a recording artist, but certainly as a human being. Yeah, I don't really know how many times I just wished things were done. At least it wouldn't all hurt like it did. No one would miss me, would they?\nAnd by way of a string of transformative events and compulsions to try to make amends in life, the very next year was what to that point was perhaps the best, most rich feeling Thanksgiving. Which is interesting because it set the stage for years of challenges. It was, of course, in 2000 when I had just started a new period of relationship with my mom and her side of the family. But it had a cloud over it that fortunately did not show itself for a few days or weeks. Not only was my reunion on the exact day of my grandmother Sofia's memorial (mom's mom, memorial on Tuesday before the holiday), but that choice in my life\u2014part of my dull ache being the brokenness I felt with regard to estrangement with so much family\u2014was something that I paid for with more of the same, though met with transformed consciousness.\nThe story has been told here before. I love to tell it. So much drama, so much intrigue. It keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. But let's keep on the Thanksgiving memory from 2000.\nBeing raised apart from my mom, there has always been a feeling that I was never at home with her. Few are the times when I felt as deeply connected as my memory of T-giving 2000 suggests. During my visits as a young teen, her two bedroom apartment was filled with her, my younger brother and sister, our older sister and her two kids. Six people as a baseline population, and seven when I was there. More still if we got any guests. It was rather close, and with so many kids, the place was a perpetual mess. In 1994 it was a lot lighter, either that she had just Steve and Nikki and a nearly new condo in a gated community in Las Vegas (that she moved from weeks after I was there), or that when she did settle in Long Beach for a few years, it was in a large apartment with Nikki only. Steve was off in the Marines. By the time I got to her new house (that she owned) in Long Beach in 2000, it seemed she had something going, even though Steve and Nikki were again living there. Nikki with her daughter Katie. She was not quite four years old.\nKatie was a cute kid. It might not seem much for me to say that now, but in 2000, when I was somehow seen through, reached through in some mysterious way, my heart gripped by the first girl of the new generation. Ask anyone (even now) and you'll probably not hear anything about me complimenting kids. I don't connect with kids. I don't want kids. But somehow, like God does with people like me, the unlikely, the impossible, the wrong is used in just such a way as to thwart expectations. Katie just went to my heart somehow. Oh, I had nephews but they were rough and tumble fellows, and one was already able to drink me under the table at the age of 16. But Katie...she was beautiful. Innocent. Not obviously damaged by the kinds of chaos I'd known to be the reality of life in that family. I'd barely met her two days before when I was up there at the memorial for my grandmother. Nikki and I had gone to her grandfolks' place in Huntington Beach, talking like we were in a desert oasis, taking in all the water we could, catching up on what life has been in the nearly six years since we saw each other last. She had Katie at the age of 19\u2014in keeping with the generation gap that generally defines that family, and dare I say, a bit on the late side. She and Katie's dad were already a historical entity; I think that was the case before Katie was born. But she had some seemingly nice and decent grandparents, even if her dad was off in his own world. (I still say this is what you can expect of a pair of 19 year olds who otherwise aren't attached.)\nAt mom's house on Thanksgiving, it was festive with Mom, Steve, Nikki & Katie, Chris and her husband Gary and the three boys, and Uncle Steve and probably Aunt Lisa. And maybe more still since there are usually friends along. It was big. It was so anti-1999! It was lively and boisterous. I watched (of all flippin' things) a Disney movie with Katie in Nikki's room. (Later on, when I got to have my house to myself after Virginia left and then ultimately died, I painted the walls the same color as Nikki's room and used some of the same brushed metal touches as she had.) Katie and I took a walk around the block, and I was clear then that something was happening. The thawing of my heart had set in.\nThere was something stunning about seeing Katie in the flesh and looking on the wall in mom's hallway where there hung a picture of herself at a little older than Katie's age, maybe four or five years old. They looked remarkably similar. My mom's picture was taken close to the time when her father killed himself. You gotta think that that was a major lifequake for her. Seeing this picture of mom from so far back, a rather solemn one at that, said that the hurt went back a long way. Looking over at Katie gave me cause to think more toward the future, to hope that maybe this time instead of the couple generations that preceded her (and a collective bunch of hardships including suicide, aggravated rape, molestation, divorces, custody battles, gang fights, unemployment, bankruptcy, and more), that maybe something different could happen. In some odd way, Katie gave me something to live for.\nAnd then the train went off the tracks a few weeks later. Nikki fell silent. A bit occupied. Closed off. And then began a spell of being about as cold as ice toward me. I still don't get it. With her being closed off, I've not seen Katie since 2001. And so sadly, the great patterns are there again, this time in an interesting reversal where they block me out after mom got blocked out by my old man long ago. (That they've adopted his technique does not seem to register.) Even by the early part of 2001, it was turning up this way. But nonetheless, I was thinking of Katie when I inquired about the plans for two pianos that Sofia left behind. I had hoped to buy one myself but also hoped the other might stay in the family just in case it could do some good, not to mention kids who get put on the piano early on seem to do well. Well, that all went down like pork chops at a bar mitzvah and contributed to more strife than it was worth.\nDuring the course of 2001, things were passable, but by the end of the summer and around the holidays, things were getting worse. I expressed interest in coming to Thanksgiving dinner again if mom was going to do that. Nikki somehow laced into me about that one, saying I was inviting myself to dinner. Excuse me, is it wrong for a son to think he'd be at his mom's house for dinner on such a night? I did get to dinner there on Thanksgiving night but it was a far more reduced affair. Not festive at all. Heads down, it seemed. Coldness. I think it was Nikki, Steve, mom, and maybe Katie. Chris was out of the house at that time, embittered with mom and living at the house of her oldest sons' father's family in San Pedro (a Cuban family). After having dinner at mom's I drove down there and at least had a bit more fun, even among people I really didn't know. It was a little something to feel that the holiday was special, and worth the 110 mile drive up. But then barely three weeks later, the whole mom/Nikki thing crashed and burned in a miserable email flame war of name calling and accusations going both ways. I think it was the first real email flame war I was engaged in. Sad.\nAnd, in a way, good. My response in mid-December was to call a friend of mine named Kelli Parrish. She and I could hang out, but I wanted to tell her about how things turned so disastrous as they did that week. And she was game for listening. Just about two weeks after that, we started our present relationship on the first of the year, 2002. In about a month, we're marking ten years together.\nSo here's where it gets interesting, and this is worth its own posting. I wrote earlier about my brother James passing away totally unbeknownst to me. A few days ago I got an email from his long time (common law) wife Trish. I had never ever spoken to her because they lived in Las Vegas and somehow despite some shared sense of loss from way back, we were never close. (Really, none of my brothers were in reach. I always had to go through Chris or mom.) Trish and I talked on the phone for an hour and more and have passed some emails. So far I've found her to be quite candid about things, and with a new take on my own family but also seen by an outsider who's also an insider. She hasn't spent much time with them, but over the 15 years with James, she's got perspective that I'd love to hear about. And pictures. She told me about the quite dreadful motorcycle accident he was in four years ago, being pretty traumatically injured, and then his fight with cancer and the stroke that finally got him. It sounded quite hard to take. I look forward to knowing more. James and his twin John have been rather mysterious figures for me. I've seen them both only a few times, at least consciously. I now have some contact info for my two surviving brothers.\nAnd the thing to be found is just how much Chris' gatekeeper role is her own imagination, or if people are interested in being in touch with me, and being civil. A few posts back, I wrote a long letter to Chris, criticizing her for many things but one in particular is how she blocked several requests to get in touch with Trish, John, and others. But since Trish found me out on her own, that about undoes Chris's case, and exposes Chris for being the dysfunctional one she is. It's sad that she can't get past her own agenda even in the name of one brother trying to process the death of another.\nMy family out there is a Humpty Dumpty affair, and that's an optimistic assessment. There's no getting it back into one piece. It never has been one piece. My own existence is as \"one piece\" as it gets. There are no real functioning day-to-day activities to take part in with any among them. My life is here. It's with Kelli. And church friends primarily, or others who can appreciate the journey I've lived. The three Thanksgiving holidays detailed above offer what a wild ride it has been. Still, those are some real formative times where I \"suffered into truth\" as Aeschylus says in The Oresteia. Those were the times that made me want something. The times that called me to life. And like coming into life the first time, it is simultaneously agonizing and beautiful.\nToday, I cooked for my family, such as it is. The people who are willing to be in my movie, as I say it these days. Most of them were young adults from that group at MHUCC. One was from the old church at CCCPB. A coworker of Kelli's (and a seminarian/CPE buddy before that) was here with her partner. Lee and Juanita were here. It's right to say my mom gave me life, but she's not been too predictable in helping me to live, and to cherish life in the way that tonight's guests (and many others who could not make it) have done. A decade ago I was \"inviting\" myself to my mom's dinner. This time I was inviting my new family to my table, freely, lovingly, generously. I cooked a good portion of the meal and rather surprised myself at doing so\u2014turkey; four types of potato dishes; vegan gravy; cookies, stuffing, cornbread, roasted veggies... a huge task that took me all day and part of last night. Peeling carrots and potatoes, cutting onions, dicing celery, basting a turkey\u2014it was all a prayer. It was like that last year and the year before that when I did similar dinners (with Kelli's help) at our current house. It was like that as I gazed out the trailer's bay window while the wood stove raged, looking out over the windblown plains at Red Mesa in New Mexico, cooking for the guys most days I was there.\nFor me, it was like the Danish movie Babette's Feast where Babette, the exiled French master chef whose life was saved by a stodgy religious group on the Jute coast, pays back years and years of accomodation and a place to live in safety away from the war in her homeland. She won the lottery and after years making the worst food to the specs of her hosts, she asks to give a feast to coincide with the date of the deceased pastor's birthday. All her 10,000 francs went into the event, made in the same way as if she were at her old restaurant, with no cut corners, and best of all, the stodgy congregation thaws out over the sensuality of the meal's several courses and wines. It's a great movie about gratitude.\nMy guests though were not a stodgy bunch. It was all quite convivial. But my heart was still with the young man of a decade ago, at war with himself and others, only at the liminus (threshold zone) of starting to feel alive again, and then having that taken back for a year, and then meeting up with a splendid girl who dared to walk along the path for a decade now. Every reason to be thankful. I attached a bit of my own thoughts to Rev. Parrish Lucas' grace before dinner. I added that this moment is the culmination of so many things in this universe, this amazing place. With all the randomness, isn't it amazing that we're here, together, in this place, ready to eat this food, ready to be in community by a blend of grace and tenacity of will? How is that not a spiritual thing of the greatest magnitude?\nA bit over a decade ago when thoughts of suicide visited me periodically, such grand thoughts were not on my mind. I doubt the evangelical religion of Virginia's caretakers could get me there. Only the long twisted and bumpy road of disappointment did that. And, in the great paradoxical arena that is the spiritual life, I have to be thankful for the whole messy lot of it. A decade ago I could not have imagined it. Would not have imagined Kelli as my wife. Nor that I had a gay couple and a lesbian couple here. Nor that Lee Van Ham would be a father figure to me. Or that I'd have gone to and left my old church at PB, but would have one person who transcends that, working right beside me to get dinner ready, even though she only got invited a few hours before. Never really imagined that I'd be the facilitator of a young adults group, at church no less! Our guests were from a couple different circles of our lives. Intergenerational. Gay and straight. Married and unmarried. A motley crew that made my house as lively as the year I was at mom's place. I still lament that so many years have gone by with her and that family. Births and deaths and anniversaries clocking by. I don't want to be seen as excluding them, but after many years of trying, the evidence is that there is nothing I can do about it. So I put my peeler to the potato, the baster to the turkey, and carry on with my new family.\ntagged cooking, false self/true self, family dynamics, grace, gratitude, grief, holidays\ntagged exile, false self/true self, family dynamics, father, maladjustment, male spirituality, mother\nIt isn't that I had nothing to write for a journal in the last month. I did. I kept my notes in my old journal book that I started in shortly after it was given me by my mom for Christmas 2000. I wrote in that book for about seven months or so. The last entry was dated just days before I received my first computer. The rest, obviously, is history, mostly done on this site, or with a record of sent emails, and only a few short bursts of paper journal writing around special times like my stay at Halcyon or during the Rites of Passage last year. So that book that mom gave me sat empty for nearly a perfect decade. I knew it was only half used and was often left to wonder when I might pick it up to write again. What was going to be exceptional enough, or different enough to warrant using it again?\nThe book was the one where all the deep dark secrets of family were falling out of the various places they had been hiding. At the age of 27, the life I thought I had led and the life I thought I was about to lead were radically upset with outrageous revelations of a family life that preceded my arrival on the scene, and the early days of my life. The first half of this book contains within it my discovery and the worst of the news, and my response\u2014anger, depression, grief, denial, and the whole sickening soup of it all. In some ways, it is clear to see, particularly on this Good Friday, that experience as a death of one version of myself, though of course, it was far from my imagination that a resurrected life awaited. At that time, there was plenty of darkness to go around.\nMe, c. 1978 with the table in the background at the Quapaw house\nVirginia and me, Christmas 1981Clearly there was no computer to be used while I was on my trip, nor was I interested in using one. So I took this journal along. What more, I took the table that I used to write at! The table, a dining room table that was at my house on Quapaw for as long as I ever went there, was the place where I sat for family dinners, sat to build plastic models or assemble puzzles as a kid, or to read or be read to by my grandmother. I typically was seated at the side up against the giant sliding glass door, facing the wall of the dining room with the kitchen on the back of that wall. I used to provoke some sharp responses when I leaned my chair back against the window frame, lest I fall through and shards come down on me and cut me to pieces or something.\nWhen, in late November 2000, my grandmother fell and later got taken out of the house for the last time, I had the house to myself for six months before the situation changed and I got roommates. I took to writing at the dining room table instead of in my room, this time taking the spot my grandmother used to take, just opposite my old spot. It afforded me the view out the window instead. Usually I wrote after midnight when the world was quiet, but that seat at the table would otherwise be the place to look at the patio and the garden-like back yard with its terraced hillside overgrown with ivy. On a good day, it was a delightful suburban back yard with color and life. There were citrus trees and another pretty big tree.\nFrom the dining room, summer 2005, as we were moving. The modified patio is now reduced back to something reasonable but it was still dark. The orange tree is starting to show some life nearly two years after it was hacked to a stump and primary branches.\nThat was, on a good day. G-ma died ten years ago tomorrow. After she died, and for a couple years, no one really took care of the back yard so it was on auto pilot. I guess I raked and cut a few things, but really I was in another place and so the back yard withered some. Then, in early 2003, the landlord-father of mine came over and began to knock out the wooden and colored-fiberglass patio to replace it with one that was dominated with block and steel, essentially replacing the open feeling, sunny enclosure with what I called a jail cell. It made the dining room and the living room quite dark and shady since the window faced west. So all the southern and western was essentially lost to this project. I never wanted it. I protested. I lost that battle too just like another equally hairbrained idea to hastily enclose the carport and fashion a garage. All of this was tasteless and illegal work. But the business of ignoring my requests and ideas was what helped push me toward depression and angst. At the same time, the roommates I had, two lazy and thrill-seeking guys of about 22-25 were trashing what left of the back yard with their slingshot and BB gun target practice. The owner, the man who once fancied himself father of mine, took saw to the oleanders on the fence and the lemon tree, leaving ugly oleander \"trees\" when they were nicer as fence-concealing shrubs, and just a stump and main branches on the lemon tree! It was outrageous. He didn't live there! He didn't have to see how ugly it was once he left!\nWhen eventually the fissures turned into giant faults in the ground between us, and he evicted Kelli and me, all our furniture became a ball and chain. We had two dining room sets (one from a donation from a friend's family, and the one I am writing about), and so much else, some stuff duplicated needlessly, but that once fit in that large house. We've moved several times since that summer of 2005, and while we've had our ways to force things into place, or to store them at friend's houses or a garage, finally I found that I could donate the dining room table to the Red Mesa camp in New Mexico. Along with it went a pair of end tables that had taken a bit of a beating and were a bit awkward to fit places, and were essentially replaced by others that fit within the overall scheme of our natural wood furniture.\nI got to Red Mesa on a Sunday night and put the three tables together in the living room of the bunk house, a double wide modular trailer house that was in a state of extensive remodeling. Bare wood floors, partially removed wainscoting on the walls. No real kitchen cabinetry, and no oven. Minimal furniture. Dusty with ranch dirt and fireplace ash and cat dander. It was a pretty stark place and I wondered what I got myself into for almost two weeks!\nThe table, at its new home at Red Mesa\nI was able to sit at the old dining room table on Monday. The journal was there for me to write in. Almost a decade had passed since I wrote in to log this trip. Then a remarkable thought sprung to mind. I realized I was once again at the table, with the journal, and once again at a giant window, but this time the window was not the window to the jail cell my father created in his uncanny knack for erecting walls, fences, gates, and other barriers. This time it wasn't even the parochial vista of my suburban back yard, not even in its beautiful incarnation with plants and vines. This was an even bigger view, facing south out of the trailer house and looking across the rolling hills in the foreground and maybe a hundred miles more to the mountains.\nThis realization about the table and journal, once brought to mind on my first full day there, gave me a way to view other happenings at Red Mesa. The ones that stick with me are similar realizations of death and resurrection are the stuff of life. The most potent of these chart a distinction between deeds and attitudes I was raised around, and new chances to respond to analagous situations. I may have to keep the lid on some of that for a while to let it sink in and teach me more, but sooner or later, I'll notice it affecting words and deeds of my own.\ntagged death, false self/true self, family dynamics, father, red mesa camp, renewal",

With light traffic, driving to ASU takes about 16 minutes. Traffic can become somewhat crowded during rush hours, but the commute remains manageable in 16 to 30 minutes. Even so, campus parking can be expensive, and you may want to explore other transportation options.\nCycling to the university in 50 minutes is possible using the Arizona Canal Trail to get to North 56th Street and Indian School Road. You\u2019ll turn right to stay on the canal bank that borders North 64th Street, following the canal until crossing over to North College Avenue. You\u2019ll turn south on Rural Road to cross the Salt River. The campus is just beyond the river crossing to the west.\nValley Metro\u2019s public transit system is your best option. The quickest route uses Routes 50 and 72, starting at the bus stop on Camelback and 40th. You\u2019ll hop off the eastbound Bus 50 at Camelback and Brown and walk three minutes to the Bus 72 stop at Camelback and Scottsdale. From there, it\u2019s a 31-minute ride to Tempe Transportation Center near ASU\u2019s northern sites such as Sun Devil Stadium and Plummer Aquatic Complex. The total commute takes an hour and eight minutes.\nYou can also use westbound Bus Route 50, transferring to a light rail train at 7th Avenue and Camelback. The train stops at the northern end of campus near Sun Devil Stadium and later at the center of campus near SkySpace and Tyler Street. The entire trip takes an hour and 21 minutes.\nAt Capri on Camelback, you\u2019ll enjoy a number of nearby conveniences. Chelsea\u2019s Kitchen is just a block south, and Vincent on Camelback, 7-11 and Sinclair are just a block beyond Chelsea\u2019s. Just across Camelback, you\u2019ll find other tasty options such as Baskin Robbins, Gigi\u2019s Cupcakes, The Grind, Cookies in Bloom, Giant Rustic Pizza and North Italia. A.J.\u2019s gourmet food market is six blocks to the east.",

(1987) interleukin 2 blood Peripheral blood adherent cells from AIDS patients inhibit normal T-colony growth through decreased expression of interleukin 2-receptors and production of interleukin 2.\nKucharz et al. (1993) interleukin-2 blood A decreased production of interleukin-2 by T cells isolated from blood of patients with SLE was found.\nLecossier et al. (1988) interleukin-2 blood However, the expression of interleukin-2 receptors was reduced on stimulated sarcoid lavage T-lymphocytes compared with that observed on normal blood T-lymphocytes, which may account in part for their reduced proliferative capacity.\nKashiwado et al. (1987) IL-2 blood The inhibitory fractions reduced mouse thymocyte proliferative responses to IL-1 in the presence of phytohemagglutinin, and reduced the production of IL-2 by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but did not inhibit IL-1-induced human foreskin fibroblast proliferation; this suggests that the factor was not an IL-1 inhibitor.\nKawano et al. (1990) IL2 blood In the present study, we showed that addition of untreated autologous cord blood T cells to the above-mentioned AMLR abrogated the IL2 production in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting active suppression by the untreated T cells because untreated cord blood T cells did not consume IL2.\nKrakauer (1985) IL-2 blood It also suppresses IL-2 production by human peripheral blood enriched T cells and mouse splenocytes.\nGluckman et al. (1983) Interleukin-2 blood We have investigated whether suppression of the allogeneic response after blood transfusion (BT) could be due to inhibition of the production or activity of Interleukin-2 (IL-2), a soluble mediator involved in T lymphocyte proliferation.\nTalal et al. (1988) IL2 blood In searching for a mechanism to explain the reduced IL2 production, we found that polyamines (whose oxidation products can down-regulate proliferation and IL2 production) are elevated in RA cells from both blood and SF.\nLesniewski et al.

(1994) IL-2 blood The latter change probably reflects stronger binding, consequent upon increased expression of p70-75 receptors for IL-2, and changes in the distribution or activity of target cells; IL-1 secretion may enhance the responsiveness of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but prostaglandin secretion decreases their IL-2 production.\nEllner (1997) interleukin-2 blood Pulmonary tuberculosis is characterized by depression of purified protein derivative-stimulated (PPD-stimulated) blastogenesis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as well as decreased production of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma).\nCillari et al.

(1996) IL-2 blood IL-2 blood levels have been proven to decrease in the advanced neoplastic disease, whereas preliminary data would suggest an enhanced secretion of IL-12 in metastatic cancer patients.\nFranzese et al. (1996) IL-2 blood In the present study the PGA1/PGJ2-dependent growth inhibition of IL-2-stimulated primary human cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMCs) was found to be mediated by interference with the IL-2 proliferative signal.\nCavagni et al.

(1989) interleukin 2 blood Production of interleukin 2 (IL-2) and gamma interferon by mitogen plus phorbol ester-stimulated mononuclear cells from human blood was found to be reduced in the presence of N-Ala-Pro-O-(nitrobenzoyl-)-hydroxylamine, epsilon-(4'-nitro) benzoxycarbonyl-Lys-Pro, and anti-(DP IV) immunoglobulin in a dose-dependent manner.\nDe Felice et al. (1990) interleukin 2 blood Inhibition by anti-HLA Class I monoclonal antibody (mAb) Q6/64 of phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-P-induced peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PMBC) proliferation is associated with a reduction of Tac expression and interleukin 2 (IL-2) secretion.\nKetelsen et al. (1979) lymphokine blood Incubation of bovine peripheral blood monocytes with bovine viral diarrhea virus (either Singer or NY-1 strain) caused a consistent, statistically significant decrease in their random locomotion (no chemoattractant) and chemotaxis towards a chemotactic lymphokine.\nd'Hennezel et al. (2010) IL-2 blood Interestingly, the lack of suppression of auto-reactive T-cells from peripheral blood of subjects after the clinical onset of T1 D is due an increased apoptosis in Treg cells, possibly mediated by deprivation of growth signals such as IL-2[68].\nBoschelli et al. (2010) IL-2 blood Analog 8, a 3-pyridinecarbonitrile with an (E)-2-[6-[(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl]pyridin-2-yl]vinyl group at C-5, had an IC(50) value of 1.1 nM for the inhibition of PKCtheta and potently blocked the production of IL-2 in both stimulated murine T cells (IC(50)=34 nM) and human whole blood (IC(50)=500 nM).\nAvice et al. (2001) IL-2 blood We recently reported that CD47 ligation inhibited IL-2 release by umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells activated in the presence of IL-12, but not IL-4, preventing the induction of IL-12Rbeta(2) expression and the acquisition of Th1, but not the Th2 phenotype.\nBrandt et al. (2010) IL-2 blood We found that added CsA inhibits both the expression of NFATc1 and IL-2 in T cells of stimulated whole blood samples with IC(50) values of 200 and 150 nM, respectively.\nKl\ufffdter et al. (1995) interleukin-2 blood In peripheral blood, secretion of interleukin-2 (IL-2) after mitogenic stimulation was significantly diminished in the patients' group (p < 0.01), whereas values of IFN-alpha 2, IL-6, IFN-gamma and sIL-2R were comparable in both groups.\nWong et al. (1988) IL-2 blood Supernatants from PHA-activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, depleted of virtually all IL-2 activity by an anti-rIL-2 immunoadsorbent column, contain a factor(s) which synergizes with rIL-2 in facilitating the generation of allogeneic human CTL responses in vitro.\nKierszenbaum et al.

        "raw_content": "If you need one more piece of motivation to get yourself off the couch and into the gym, here it is: scientists have discovered that regular endurance exercise improves cognition and protects the brain from deteriorating. Exercise, like running, produces a molecule in the brain that will slowly trigger growth in the hippocampus region. The hippocampus is the learning center of the brain that controls memory. Studies were conducted over a year on two groups of individuals: those who ran once a week vs. the control group who only performed yoga. After a year passed, they were all given spatial memory tests. The results showed that the aerobic exercise group performed better overall on the memory tasks.\nSo, what\u2019s the evolutionary advantage of this? Well, most anthropologists believe that we developed bi-pedalism in order to chase down and hunt food. When you\u2019re chasing down an antelope for hours, maybe even days across the desert, you will need to remember how to get back home. Theory suggests that the massive increase in endurance running meant that the hippocampus needed to be enlarged as well\u2014in order to keep up with the need to remember many new locations.\nEvolutionMemoryRunning",

        "title": "How Cities are Becoming One With Nature - The Modern Ape",
        "raw_content": "Have you ever wondered why people always feel the need to \u201cescape\u201d from it all and go on a trip into the wilderness? Of course, there are many different reasons why people take a vacation or do some traveling. Most of the time it is stress from work that finally pushes them out of the office and into the forest. But, besides the obvious job, family, and personal drivers, is there something more innate that makes us want to go back into nature? According to Harvard\u2019s conservationist E.O. Wilson, there is.\nBiophilia, a term popularized by Wilson, means that\n\u201chumans are hard-wired to need connection with nature and other forms of life.\u201d\nThis idea shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise to anyone. Up until very recently on our historical timeline, humans have lived outdoors with nature and wildlife. Today, most of the western population sits inside office buildings 9 hours a day, 5 days out of the week. After leaving work, most of us travel inside a car to our homes, where we sit some more. No wonder people always feel like they need a \u201cvacation.\u201d Maybe this need to constantly get away comes from an inner desire to flee the artificial lives we have. Could living near, or inside nature cure certain ailments that affect the modern working man?\nAccording to the Biophilic Cities website, \u201cevidence of the emotional and psychological benefits of nature is mounting and impressive (research shows its ability to reduce stress, to aid recovery from illness, to enhance cognitive skills and academic performance, to aid in moderating the effects of ADHD, autism and other child illnesses).\u201d So, it appears that co-existing with nature\u2014flora, animals, and rich ecosystems\u2014is beneficial to our mental and physical well-being. But, isn\u2019t it inefficient to drive out of town every time you want to lay under some trees? What if, instead of leaving your home city to be in touch with nature, you brought the nature to your city?\nA biophilic city has abundant nature in close proximity to the people dwelling there. They have powerful, biodiverse ecosystems that are actively protected by the community. These cities\n\u201cinvest in the social and physical infrastructure that helps to bring urbanites in closer connection and understanding of nature.\u201d\nAlright, this sounds great and all, but where exactly is this physical infrastructure that the site mentions? Slowly but surely, trees and plants are being incorporated into the very design of buildings. An architecture firm in Sri Lanka plans to build the worlds tallest vertical garden next year\u2014which will also serve as a 46-floor high-rise apartment building. Besides the plant-covered tower being able to capture CO2 from the atmosphere, it will also run on solar-power and have a completely self-sustaining watering system. So, if being around nature 24/7 actually does prove beneficial to your health, and you live in an almost completely sustainable building, you can feel good about your health and the environment\u2019s at the same time. That sounds like a pretty big eco game-changer to me\u2014but it only gets better from here. What does the future of sustainable building design hold for us?\nBiomimetics, according to Wikipedia, \u201cis the study of the structure and function of biological systems as models for the design and engineering of materials and machines.\u201d Put simply, this means scientists can look at the design of a bug\u2019s wings and apply that function to the aerodynamics of a jet. So, what does this have to do with buildings? Janine Benyus and Tim Brown, the chief executive at a design and innovation consulting firm, discuss biomimicry in a Ted discussion. Taken from one of Janine\u2019s responses, she says \u201cyou don\u2019t just learn that the beetle can comb water out of fog, you actually have a generative design program, an algorithm, that allows you to skin your train or your car with that particular shape, so you can wrap a building so that it too can comb water out of fog. The knowledge actually turns into a product that comes out of biological intelligence.\u201d It appears that scientists are already brainstorming ideas to make these biophilic buildings even more useful\u2014-in the future they may even extract water from the atmosphere.\nBiophilicSustainable cities\nInL_A\nIt would be nice to find a way to keep the bird nests that are invariably going to find their way into biophilic cities. Birds are a big part of nature, I thought communing with other living things was one of the reasons for this entire venture.\nYeah, I believe maintaining and growing urban wildlife is one of the main objectives for biophilic cities. Apparently cities hold around 20% of the world\u2019s avian biodiversity. Knowing this, we can see even more how important the biophilic transition is.\nPingback: Open Voices News Roundup: February 24 - Nature Sacred()\nPingback: Foragings:: The latest news, resources and designs - The Metropolitan Field Guide()\nPingback: 3 Intelligently Designed Sustainable Buildings - The Modern Ape()",

        "title": "The Worst: Performances from Week 8 - The Open Man",
        "raw_content": "The Worst: Performances from Week 8\nPosted by Andrew Nostvick on October 26, 2017 October 25, 2017\nWelcome to this edition of the Worst where occasionally, we like to mix things up a little bit. For this week\u2019s installment, we are going into the past, but not very far. We\u2019re traveling to last week\u2019s set of games.\nThese were the five worst performances of Week 8, for various reasons.\n5. San Diego State loses its second straight game\nOnce upon a time, an intrepid, rugged and humble writer suggested that San Diego State had a good chance to crash the NY6 Party. Unfortunately, the party crasher pick might be turning into a party pooper.\nThe Aztecs won their first six games in excellent fashion and that includes solid non-conference victories over Arizona State (who is starting to look really good right now) and the always reliable Stanford. And then came the two-game losing skid.\nNow, it\u2019s certainly possible that San Diego State can recover, go to Hawaii, get a win and just storm back to win the Mountain West. Of course, they\u2019ll need Fresno State to struggle the rest of the way. The same Fresno State team defeated them 27-3.\nThe game was less than ideal for the Aztecs. Rashaad Penny, who appeared to be a Heisman contender, was held to 69 yards on 15 carries.\nI\u2019d like to think there is still a chance that San Diego State can regroup, Penny wins the Heisman, and they get into an NY6 game. It will be tough, especially with all the contenders in the AAC. However, anything is possible.\n4. Ragin\u2019 Cajuns give up 571 yards in blowout loss to Arkansas State\nThe Arkansas State RedWolves are a really good football team. In fact, they might win the Sun Belt Conference. It\u2019s too bad they never got to play Miami.\nLouisiana-Lafayette isn\u2019t quite as good, at least on the defensive side of the ball. They\u2019ve allowed 40 points per game this season, which ranks among the worst in FBS. However, the Ragin\u2019 Cajuns came into the game at 3-3 on the season.\nUnfortunately for them, the Red Wolves offense is good, damn good in fact. They had 571 yards of total offense in a 47-3 win over Lousiana-Lafayette. Arkansas State was so good last Thursday, they ran for 262 of those yards on the ground.\nThings went so bad for Louisiana-Lafayette that they gave up a touchdown on the ole\u2019 fake spike play.\nWhat can ya do?\nThe good news for the Ragin\u2019 Cajuns is they have this week off. It gives them time to get ready for South Alabama.\n3. Kansas finishes with just four first downs in 43-0 loss against TCU\nChances are, we were going to come around and talk about Kansas at some point. It\u2019s sad, but they\u2019re a team that we have to talk about from time to time. They\u2019re on a six-game losing streak and that includes from last Saturday against TCU.\nThis game, amazingly enough, was the primetime game on FOX. This means it was competing against both Penn State-Michigan and Notre Dame-USC. It also means this game got priority over game seven of the ALCS, which was moved to FS1.\nNonetheless, this was a very rough game for the Jayhawks. They had four first downs on the night and 21 yards of total offense. Kansas had -25 rushing yards. Although it\u2019s worth pointing out that the NCAA counts sack yards as rushing yards. That said, it\u2019s still not very good even if you take out the sack yardage.\nThe Jayhawks have Kansas State, Baylor, Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State left on the schedule. Maybe they can beat Baylor. However, it\u2019s not looking good for Kansas.\n2. Colorado shutout by Washington State\nRemember how fun it was watching Colorado last season play so well in the Pac-12? That was really fun. Unfortunately, this year isn\u2019t so much for the Buffaloes.\nThey got to go to Pullman last week and it resulted in a 28-0 loss. Colorado had 174 yards of total offense in the game. The Buffaloes rushed the ball as a team 40 times for a grand total of\u202680 yards! That is 2 yards per carry.\nIn total, Colorado averaged 2.4 yards per play against Washington State, by far their worst this season. They haven\u2019t had a game below 4 yards per play all season. In fact, it\u2019s the worst since 2012.\nTo make matters worse, Colorado was 1-for-17 on third down. They\u2019re currently 62nd in the country in third down percentage, just behind such teams as North Texas, Temple and Notre Dame.\nColorado still has a shot at bowl eligibility, but it requires winning two of their remaining four games. Those games are against Cal, Arizona State, USC and Utah.\n1. Kent State manages 166 total yards of offense in Ohio loss\nWhen you think of Kent State, you don\u2019t necessarily think of a perennial powerhouse program. You certainly don\u2019t think that of them as that in the MAC, although they have produced some notable people in college football, including Nick Saban, Jack Lambert and Antonio Gates (who played basketball, if we\u2019re being technical).\nIn 2012, Kent State had an 11-win season with then-head coach Darrell Hazell. Since then, they\u2019ve won 14 games, including two this season.\nThe Golden Flashes came into last week\u2019s game with Ohio riding a one-game winning streak. They beat Miami (OH) 17-14. Could this be the turnaround for Kent State? It wasn\u2019t to be\u2026\nIt\u2019s worth pointing out that Kent State did have a 3-0 lead after one quarter. Unfortunately, the Golden Flashes lost the next three 48-0. Ohio unloaded on Kent State. That run includes 28 points in the third quarter.\nThe offense is ranked 130th in the country and Kent State proved why against Ohio. It had a total of seven first downs on the game. They had a 102 rushing yards on 37 carries, which amounts to 2.8 yards per carry.\nKent State\u2019s next game is on Halloween against Bowling Green, which happens to be 1-7 on the season.\nPrevious article West Coast Offense: Arizona State\u2019s Stunning Turnaround\nNext article Heisman Top 10: Saquon Barkley A Unanimous No. 1\nTagged in Colorado Buffaloes, Kansas Jayhawks, Kent State Golden Flashes, Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns, San Diego State Aztecs, The Worst",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb News \u00bb Protests staged throughout Portugal against racism\nProtests staged throughout Portugal against racism\nDozens of people gathered in Lisbon\u2019s iconic Rossio Square last weekend to protest against racist, discriminatory and xenophobic attitudes that are sometimes committed by institutions, such as by the police, according to the many associations who organised and took part in the gathering.\nSimilar protests were also staged in Braga and Porto.\nSpeaking to Lusa News Agency, L\u00facia Furtado, of the DJASS Association for Afro-descendents, one of the various associations that organised the protest, said: \u201cPortugal is a racist country; it has always been a racist country. Remember that in 2015 we had young people who were beaten at the Alfragide police station and the trial is still ongoing. Racism exists at institutional, structural and personal-levels\u201d.\nMs. Furtado also highlighted the way Africans are portrayed in the media and the way history is taught in school as another racist attitude.\n\u201cWe want to draw attention to this phenomenon and we want the people and the institutions to begin to acknowledge racism. This is not an attack on anyone or the population, it is a structural problem\u201d, she explained.\nThe activist also drew attention to the misapplication of the nationality law, saying that most people have no idea that many youngsters who were born in Portugal are not Portuguese and do not have the right to nationality.\nLeft Bloc MP Isabel Pires was also present at the gathering because, she said, \u201cin Portugal there is a problem with racism and it is time to talk about it\u201d.\n\u201cThere is institutionalised racism, such as cases of police violence or unequal access to health, for example\u201d, she said, reiterating \u201cthe problem exists and needs to be addressed, acknowledged and debated, and there must be proposals to tackle it\u201d.\nAccording to the Left Bloc, despite racism being a crime, it is not being punished as such and, said Isabel Pires, \u201cthere are often cases of police violence, street and workplace harassment that remain unpunished\u201d.\nThe PCP communist party also lent its support to the protest, represented by MP Rita Rato, who said \u201canti-racist and anti-discrimination struggles are inseparable from the quest for a fairer country\u201d.\n\u201cPortugal retains traces of institutionalised and non-institutionalised racism and we must fight against it, especially when fascist and neofascist forces are growing in our country and throughout Europe\u201d, she reflected.\nThe law establishing the Legal Regime for the Prevention, Prohibition and Combat of Discrimination on the basis of racial and ethnic origin, colour, nationality, ancestry and territory of origin has been in force since August 2017.",

        "title": "Drama Therapy",
        "raw_content": "Drama Therapy (written dramatherapy in the UK) is the use of theatre techniques to facilitate personal growth and promote mental health. Dramatherapy is used in a wide variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, mental health centers, prisons, and businesses. Drama Therapy, as a form of Expressive Arts Therapy, (also known as Expressive Therapy), exists in many forms and can be applicable to individuals, couples, families, and various groups.\nThe modern use of dramatic process and theatre as a therapeutic intervention began with Psychodrama. The field has expanded to allow many forms of theatrical interventions as therapy including role-play, theatre games, group-dynamic games, mime, puppetry, and other improvisational techniques. Often, \"Drama Therapy\" is utilized to help a client:\n\u00b7 \u00b7 Solve a problem\n\u00b7 \u00b7 Achieve a catharsis\n\u00b7 \u00b7 Delve into truths about self\n\u00b7 \u00b7 Understand the meaning of personally resonant images\n\u00b7 \u00b7 Explore and transcend unhealthy personal patterns of behavior and interpersonal interaction\nThe theoretical foundation of \"Drama Therapy\" lies in drama, theater, psychology, psychotherapy, anthropology, play, and interactive and creative processes.\nIn his book, \"Drama as Therapy: Theory, practice and research,\" Phil Jones describes the emergence of the intentional use of drama as therapy as three-fold. First a long history of drama as a healing force with ancient roots in the healing rituals and dramas of various societies. The connection between drama and the psychological healing of society, though not of the individual, was first formally acknowledged by Aristotle, who was the originator of the term 'catharsis'. Secondly, in the early twentieth century, hospital theatre and the work of Moreno, Evreinov, and Iljine, marked a new attitude towards the relationship between therapy and theatre that provided a foundation for the emergence of drama therapy later in the century. Finally, influenced by experimental approaches to theatre, group dynamics, role playing and psychology in the 1960s, drama therapy emerged as a creative arts therapy in the 1970s.\nToday, drama therapy is practiced around the world and there are presently academic training programs in Great Britain, Canada, the Netherlands, Israel and the United States.\nIf you are a practising Drama therapist seeking additional accreditation or you are studying Drama therapy you can gain a range of accreditation through the Institute of Therapies Management.",

        "raw_content": "First Three Years of Vince McMahon\u2019s XFL to Cost $500 Million\nVince McMahon is no stranger to big business having built his World Wrestling Entertainment into the wrestling/entertainment titan that it is today. Back in 2001, McMahon built a competitor to the National Football League in the XFL but it only lasted for one season. Earlier this year he announced the relaunch with what was believed to be a $100 million investment but ESPN reports it will actually be a $500 million investment for the first three seasons. The relaunch of XFL was originally headlined by McMahon\u2019s decision to sell $100 million in WWE stock.\nThe XFL is scheduled for a reintroduction to the sports world under the brand of Alpha Entertainment in February of 2020, after the wrap of the Super Bowl in the NFL.\n\u201cPeople were focused on the $100 million, but the truth is that doesn\u2019t even get us to the 20-yard line,\u201d league CEO and commissioner Oliver Luck shared.\nThe biggest expenses for the relaunch of the league will be paying players and coaches, with the average salary for those who make the teams in the proximity of $75,000, but the insurance to care for injuries occurred during the game will also be a major cost for the league as there are few companies that will serve the type of insurance needed for the venture. Insurance premiums are looking to cost in the ballpark of $10 million a year.\nThe relaunch of the XFL will feature teams in Atlanta, Orlando, Birmingham, Memphis, San Antonio, Salt Lake City, San Diego and Phoenix. The NFL won\u2019t be the only competition for the XFL, the Alliance of American Football league is also scheduled to join the professional football world.\nvince mcmahonXFL",

        "title": "The Spark and the Flame: Four Bad Arguments in Favor of Same-Sex Marriage",
        "raw_content": "Ours is an age that often thrives more on emotion than by reason, more on clich\u00e9 than rational argument, and more on hot insult than cool logic. On the question of same-sex marriage, which should especially demand careful thought, proponents are apt to assault opponents with clich\u00e9, emotion, and insult. Here are four popularly used bad arguments and some brief answers.\nA. Those who oppose same sex-marriage are just as bigoted as those who opposed inter-racial marriage.\nAnswer: This argument is flawed on several grounds.\nFirst, it compares a person who does not want a black man to marry a white woman to a person to does not want a man to marry another man. In the latter case, the difference is far greater than in the previous case. For instance, the opponent of inter-racial marriage accepts that a white man may marry a white women, but objects to a black man doing to. Hence, the difference between the acceptable partner and the unacceptable one is on the difference between a black man and a white man, which is not very substantial.\nOn the other hand, the opponent of same-same marriage allows that a man may marry a woman, but objects to a man marrying another man. In this case, the acceptable partner for a woman is not the difference between a black man and a white man, but the difference between a man and a woman, which is clearly a more substantial difference. Hence, the comparison fails.\nSecond, Francis Beckwith has pointed out a more serious failure with this argument. Bans on inter-racial marriage were a novelty, having no basis in common law and requiring new laws to defend those bans. Those who opposed inter-racial marriage did so because they recognized that the purpose of marriage, inherited from common law, included the procreation of children and development of a family unit. Opponents of inter-racial marriage, with the goal of enforcing racial purity, sought to introduce a new condition to marriage that had no basis in prior common law or custom. They recognized that men and women of different races naturally had the ability and right to marry each other and wished to introduce a new conditional (same-race) to prevent this. Opponents of same-sex marriage, however, recognize precisely the opposite, that two men do not naturally have the right or ability (from nature, common law, or custom) to marry (1).\nB. Homosexuals were born with their desires, so we should consider them morally acceptable.\nAnswer: This argument confuses explanation with justification. C.S. Lewis said that \u201cexplanation by cause is not justification by reason.\u201d That a person was born with same-sex sexual desires may (or may not) explain why a person is attracted to a member of the same sex, but it does not therefore justify action based on that attraction. Some scientists think that there is a gene that predisposes some people to alcoholism, but while this may help explain why some people become alcoholics, it does not for that reason justify their alcoholic behavior (2).\nC. Practicing homosexuals do not hurt or affect anyone else, so they should be left alone.\nAnswer: This argument seems to run like this:\n1. We should not care about what anyone else does unless its affects us.\n2. Same-sex practice does not affect us.\n3. Therefore, we should not care about same-sex practice.\nThe problem here is that both assumptions in the argument are patently false. If my friend becomes an alcoholic and even claims that over-imbibing of drink makes him happy, should I simply shrug my shoulders and conclude \u201cwell, his drinking is not affecting me, so I should not care\u201d? I would be a very poor friend in this case. But if there is good reason to think that same-sex marriage is harmful, either because it consists of disobedience to God\u2019s plan for human sexuality or because it entails harmful behaviors and consequences, then we should oppose the practice of homosexuality (3).\nSecond, it is far from obvious that the normalization of same-sex relationships will not affect the rest of society. As same sex relationships are normalized, those opposed to such relationships on grounds of religion or conscience will be compelled to violate their beliefs and support such relationships. This has already happened in some cases (4).\nD. If two people love each other, they should be able to be together.\nSuch a claim seems to reduce love to sexual attraction and ask, \u201cif two people are sexually attracted, then they should be able to be together.\u201d But this is far from obvious and seems clearly wrong. That a married man feels sexual attraction for a woman other than his wife and even professes himself in love with this woman does not justify his acting on claim that he is acting \u201cfor love.\u201d Real love will seek the best for the other person. An man with AIDS may \u201clove\u201d an uninfected woman, but if he really loves her, he would never be with her since he would care too much for her well-being. Since there is good reason to think that homosexual practice is harmful (3), it is an attraction that one should not act on.\n(1) Francis Beckwith addresses this in greater detail here:\nhttp://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2010/05/1324\n(2) http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20040526/researchers-identify-alcoholism-gene\n(3) http://thesparkandtheflame.blogspot.com/2012/05/harm-of-homosexual-practice-medical-and.html\n(4) http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/photographers-guilty-of-discrimination-for-refusing-to-shoot-same-sex-weddi/\n(5) For an interesting series of responses to a few other objections to same sex relationships, see the philosopher JP Moreland, here:\nhttp://www.jpmoreland.com/2012/08/05/royal-confusions-about-the-support-of-chick-fil-a/",

For the purposes of Articles 13 and 19 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1768/92, does the expression \"first authorization to place ... on the market in the Community\", include authorisations which had been permitted by national law to co-exist with an authorisation regime which complies with Council Directive 65/65/EEC?\n3. Is a product which is authorised to be placed on the market for the first time in the EEC without going through the administrative procedure laid down in Council Directive 65/65/EEC within the scope of Council Regulation (EC) 1768/92 as defined by Article 2?\n4.

        "title": "Tim Ashby\u2019s New Year Predictions",
        "raw_content": "Obama will order air strikes against Iran, and Iraq will fall into a horrible civil war. Sadly, these are among the events I believe we\u2019ll see in 2012.\nI write about the past in books such as Devil\u2019s Den, or the juxtaposition between the past and present in the forthcoming Time Fall. Because \u201cthe Past is Prologue,\u201d history can help predict the future. My background as a writer, historian, businesn and lawyer has developed my \u201cpowers of prognostication\u201d (if not soothsaying!). I\u2019m therefore going to make a few predictions for 2012. I won\u2019t expand on the reasons for these predictions in this context, but would be pleased to correspond with any readers wishing to discuss them:\n1) Obama will order air strikes against Iran. The tactical plan is in place, but the Administration hopes to delay implementation as long as possible so that the military action can happen closer to next year\u2019s elections and boost Obama\u2019s reelection chances\n2) Obama will be reelected\n3) The Republicans will control both houses of Congress, deadlocking the Executive Branch as the US economy continues its downward spiral\n4) Iraq will be engulfed in a major civil war\n5) Both the Euro zone and the EU will survive intact after a very tough year, and the Euro will stabilize\nAs a final note, the country of the future to watch is not China, India or Brazil, but the old Bear itself \u2013 Russia. The reinvigorated former world power will have 5% economic growth in 2012 and a budget surplus over 3% of GDP \u2013 an incredible contrast to the USA and most Western economies. Consumer spending per capita in Moscow is one-and-a-half times higher than Germany or the UK. Twenty years after the fall of Communism, the material level of life (in Moscow and St. Petersburg at least) is comparable to London or New York. There is no unemployment (Moscow has labor shortages), no slums, 90% of people have a university degree, and Moscow has the largest population of Nobel Prize winners and PhDs of any city in the world.\nAmericans and Western Europeans are more focused on the vagaries of Russia\u2019s fledgling democracy than on its dynamic economy and consummate skills in global power politics. The slumbering old Russian bear is awakening.\nRandy Black says\nCome on Tim, to claim that more Nobel winners live in Moscow than any other world city is not believable. In fact, I can find only two living Nobel winners living in Moscow, a city of 10 million. That would be Mikhail Gorbachev and Alexei Abrikosov. The last Russian to win a Nobel was Alferov in 2000, but he lives in St. Petersburg.\nHeck, we\u2019ve got four Nobel winners living in Dallas, a city of about one million. Up until about four years ago, we had six but a couple died. I met, worked with or photographed four of them at one time or the other. Moreover, to claim that 90 pecent of Moscow has a university degree stretches the imagination.\nMoscow has about 30 percent of its population still in elementary, high school or college. Thus, if every single person over the age of 21 had a university degree and that seems unlikely, the most the number might reach is 70 percent.\nFinally, there are slums in Moscow. Qite a few actually. Among many, there is Chelobityevo, home to 3,000 Muslims from Central Asia. It\u2019s only 200 meters from the Garden Ring Road. Many \u201chomes\u201d in that slum are nothing more than huts.\nThanks Randy. I relied on data from Cameron Sawyer, who lives in Moscow and can offer first-hand information. He has responded on WAIS with back-up for this data. I am sure you would agree that Russia is often overlooked as a once and future superpower.\nLeonard Moecklin says\nHappy New Year Tim,\nI am surprised that you have no New Year predictions about Cuba. What can we expect from Cuba in the coming year?\nThanks Len. I think the status quo will continue to Cuba throughout 2012 with incremental economic reforms as we have seen. The Cubans are closing watching the US elections and are fearful that a Republican administration will revert to the hard-line policies of the George W Bush era.\nBarry Stampler says\nI agree with all of your saying of the sooth except perhaps for airstrikes against Iran. I wonder if our Government would really open up that can of worms? I do agree that our Government will also remain deadlocked until the current members are voted out. In addition what is your opinion on a third part gaining a larger voice to offset the \u201d Nonsense\u201d?\nBarry, I just can\u2019t see a Third Party candidate (such as Ron Paul) having any chance of prevailing against the political machines and vast financial resources of the Republican and Demoncratic parties.\nFreddie de Lisle says\nJust to comment on two of your predictions:\nI very much hope that the USA does not bomb Iran as it will coalesce the Iranian people around their odious government. There is oppostion within Iran to the mullahs and the Revolutionary Guards. We need to encourage these and help them overthrow this totalitarian regime. Moreover the USA letting loose the Israelis as a proxy against iran is pitting one degenerate regime against another \u2013 Islamist totalitarianism against Zionist bigotry.\nI am not as optimistic as you about the survival of the euro in its current form, though I do think the EU will continue. I suspect that the euro will reduce to a core countries of France, German and Benelux. I quote an extract from a letter I wrote earlier this week to the Editor of The Tablet (www.thetablet.co.uk) which said \u201cThe current crisis of the euro has been the faulty construction of a mechanism. A properly functioning currency union sees richer parts of the union help poorer parts \u2013 as in the United Kingdom and the United States. The reluctance of richer Continental Europeans to fund their poorer neighbours in the south has prevented the creation of a democratic workable solution. Instead the ideological heirs of Christian and Social Democratic Europe are attempting an undemocratic top-down solution which preserves the wealth of richer Continental Europeans. At least in the United Kingdom we are tempering the necessary cuts in public expenditure which are the result of the outmoded centralised spending plans of Gordon Brown by managing our own monetary status and transferring moneys from the richer parts of society to the poorer in a democratic way. The Continental European elites, wedded to their \u2018social-democratic\u2019 model (in the long-term both anti-social and anti-democratic), are instead imposing solutions which will leave the poor poorer and the rich richer.\u201d\nThanks Freddie,\nFirst, I also ferevently hope that the US does not strike Iran for many reasons, including those you cite. Another important reason is that US intelligence agencies are convinced that Iranian terrorist \u201csleeper cells\u201d exist in the USA and would be activitated following a US or Israeli attack. Howvever, I think we are seeing escalating provocations from both sides(or three if we include Israel) that will culminate in military action. For example, Iran has announced that it is operating a second nuclear facility (there are, of course, many more), and Ahmadinejad is on a tour of \u201crogue\u201d countries in Latin American, which is like baiting hungry wolf with raw meat for most Republican presidential candidates. I believe that Obama will feel that he needs to show he is \u201ctough on terrorism\u201d to compete with his opponents.\nI applaud the extract from your letter. I agree that the Euro may eventually become the central currency of a core group of \u201crich\u201d (and well-managed) countries. However, I don\u2019t see this happening in 2012. Germany won\u2019t return to the DM and France certainly won\u2019t revert to the Franc \u2013 the economic consequences would be dire in terms of inflation and export competiveness.\nFirst time comment on your blog.\nI think we are getting closer to an attack on Iran from US or Israel. The problem is the consequences and reactions down the road are extremely difficult to predict. I think the people that want this should be careful for what they wish for\u2026..\nConcerning Russia, I agree with Ivan, for the top earners and all the people connected, I am sure life is great, still leaves out a whole lot of dis-grunted people at the middle/bottom who don\u2019t seem to be happy about Putin and his clique\u2026also the demographics are horrendous in Russia, I was reading in Jane\u2019s that the military is missing out of tens of thousands of recruits, not just because of the infamous hazing but because of the poor health of Russia youth. US kids are fat but a couple of months of stair-master and they are OK for service. Russian kids have a higher proportion of health issues rendering them unsuitable for service permanently \u2026\nIvan Kinsman says\nYes, I agree with most of what you say here. I think Iran will pay the price for its warmongering, and deservedly so. If not the US, then the Israelis\u2026\nRef. Russia, I am not sure it\u2019s correct to just focus on the economy. I think the political situation may smoulder on which may create a sense of instability, thus affecting the economic outlook. Putin and his cronies have held the reins of power for too long and the young, highly educated section of the population have had enough.\nI also think, like you, that the eurozone will pull through although significant structural reforms are necessary if it is to continue, particularly over budget approval and monitoring. I heard a very good French analyst saying that it is the most sophisticated model of political and economic union in the world at this and will serve as a model to other regional blocs. He could be right\u2026\nThanks Ivan. I generally agree with you about Russia. However, the people protesting against Putin are from a diverse range of political parties as well as socio-economic and educational backgrounds. Putin should have \u201cquit while he was ahead\u201d and be remembered for excellent managament and enlightened economic parties. There is really no alternative to his political party at this time.",

        "raw_content": "The early 21st century is a time of unprecedented opportunity for those coming of age. It is a time when many young adults set out to achieve their dreams, be it starting their own business, starting a political movement, or propelling themselves to superstardom. Angelle\u2019s dream is to become Cultural Royalty of Pacificland, thus achieving what her mother couldn\u2019t. Her vision is based on freedom, dreams, love and fairness for all.\nHowever, she soon finds that whilst change appears to be in the air, the resistance is often even greater. While the early 21st century is a time of opportunity for some, many people remain left behind, and tension and dissatisfaction is the order of the day in many areas of life. The increasing pitch of the culture wars, and the influence of global movements from the Tea Party to the Occupy Protests, also combine to make Pacificland a daily ideological warzone. Meanwhile, Pacificland gets caught up in a meaningless political stalemate, with reforms like marriage equality stalled seemingly forever.\nWith her own dreams on the line, will Angelle stay true to her values? And if she does, will it be enough to make a positive difference?

        "raw_content": "Saudi Aramco unit hosts first graduation ceremony\nSaudi Aramco, a world leader in integrated energy and chemicals, said one of its units, Saudi Arabian Drilling Academy (Sada) held its first graduation for a cohort of 132 students representing 34 drilling and services companies.\nThis comes in response to the oil and gas industry\u2019s rising need for thousands of skilled exploration, drilling and workover talent, and in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 workforce development aims.\nDr Ahmed Al Fahaid, Governor of the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) attended the ceremony along with senior Saudi Aramco officials including President and CEO Amin Nasser, Senior VP for Upstream Mohammed Al Qahtani, Northern Area Oil Operations VP and Chairman of Sada Board Dawood Al Dawood.\nSaudi Aramco said the Sada initiative was proposed in 2014 to achieve the dual goal of generating knowledge-economy jobs that meet the oil giant\u2019s needs, and to create a more efficient training model that reduces costs and increases stakeholder competitiveness.\nIt is estimated that nearly 90,000 Saudis must be trained over the next 20 years to support the industry\u2019s growth plans.\n\u201cThe concept behind Sada is unprecedented, where companies that operate in a competitive market agree to cooperate in a win-win approach and join forces for the good of the industry. What is happening here is a true sense of responsibility and solidarity among industry players. It is a start, and will inspire others,\u201d remarked Nasser.\n\"I would like to congratulate the cohort and wish them a successful career, and thank all of the stakeholders who made such collaboration possible,\" he added.\nThe Academy\u2019s training programme covers 20 months, beginning with onboarding followed by a 14-week field orientation; a 50-week academic segment covering different levels of English, math and occupational safety and health concepts; drilling and well site operation fundaments for four weeks; and practical or general and specific experience for 14 weeks.\nAl Qahtani said Saudi Aramco was proud of the fruitful relationship with the TVTC and the successful collaboration of the 34 companies funding the academy.\n\"The Academy will play a great role in closing the talent gap and equipping Saudi students with the skills and capabilities required by drilling industry, and will complement the efforts to increase the share of local content in the energy-related products and services, as we will spend more than half a trillion Saudi Riyals on drilling activities over the next decade, in compliance with the goals and objectives of the ambitious Saudi Vision 2030,\" he added.\nLauding all Sada stakeholders for their participation, Al Dawood said: \"The Academy presents a unique model where different companies join efforts collectively to create a unified and centralised training and development facility that serves and meets the requirement of the market as a whole.\"\n\"Sada fosters Saudization in the drilling industry and will create a localized pool of talents complemented by the creation of new job opportunities for Saudis, as outlined by Saudi Vision 2030. The academy is part of the corporate social responsibility efforts of the drilling companies in Saudi Arabia,\" he stated.\nThe Academy is being funded by 34 private drilling companies, withe logistical support provided by Saudi Aramco and the Technical Vocational Training Center in Abqaiq.\nUnder the current scope of training that began in September 2016, Sada\u2019s comprehensive program ensures the job-readiness of workers ranging from rigman and junior services operator to skilled engineers, riggers and heavy equipment operators.-TradeArabia News Service\nTags: aramco\t| Saudi Arabian Drilling Academy\t|",

Schwarzenegger Named New Host\nThis won't happen until sometime during the 2016-17 season, according to NBC, but former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been named to fill Donald Trump's shoes on \"The Celebrity Apprentice.\"\nNBC announced Monday that the movie star and two-term governor will be the new host of the competition show.\nThere can be little argument that Trump and his ego made the show a success, first regular folks and then celebrities competing in business-related tasks. In seven seasons, NBC said \"The Celebrity Apprentice\" has helped raise more than $15 million for charity.\nSchwarzenegger, who has long had a range of business holdings, from restaurants to real estate development to sports franchises, told Variety he is eager to begin filming the series.\nFormer California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger stands in front of his gubernatorial portrait at the unveiling in the Rotunda of the State Capitol on Sept. 8, 2014, in Sacramento. Justin Sullivan / Getty Images\n\"I have always been a huge fan of 'The Celebrity Apprentice' and the way it showcases the challenges and triumphs of business and teamwork,\" Schwarzenegger said. \"I am thrilled to bring my experience to the boardroom and to continue to raise millions for charity. Let's get started!\"\nTrump left the show that originated as \"The Apprentice\" following his decision to run for the GOP nomination for president.\n\"After leaving the show to run for political office, Donald made it clear that he wanted 'The Celebrity Apprentice' to be able to continue to raise millions of dollars annually for worthy causes, and now NBC and I have found an amazing new leader to do just that,\" the show's executive producer, Mark Burnett, told Variety. \"Gov. Schwarzenegger will use his vast and highly successful business, political and media experience to drive this hit franchise to new heights.\"\nNBC said there's no word on whether Schwarzenegger will replace Trump's \"you're fired\" catchphrase with his own \"you're terminated.\"\nPosted by TV Takes All at 12:29 PM\nBrian Williams' return timed to Pope's U.S. Visit\nThe Hollywood Reporter is reporting that former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams will return from his suspension on September 22nd, which happens to be the day Pope Francis arrives on U.S. soil for his first official visit.\nWilliams will anchor live breaking news on MSNBC that day.\nIt is also being reported that MSNBC's new daytime line-up will include Chuck Todd as host of a daily program, along with Kate Snow. Others who will figure into the new roster at the recently shaken-up network are MSNBC's newest star, Thomas Roberts, Andrea Mitchell and an expanded \"Morning Joe.\"\nA number of recent MSNBC anchors are losing (or have lost) their shows: Jose Diaz-Balart, Tamron Hall, Joy Reid the group on The Cycle (Ari Melber, Krystal Ball, Abby Huntsman), Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton.\nPosted by TV Takes All at 5:21 PM\nGreat addition to Mysteries of Laura on NBC: Calliie Thorne Joins Cast\nThis is good news. A show that I already liked promises to get better with the addition of actress Callie Thorne, known to many as Dr. Santini on Necessary Roughness (USA) and as Denis Leary's sometime love interest on Rescue Me.\nNBC announced today that Thorne will appear as Captain Nancy Santiani,whom Debra Messing's\nPictured: (l-r) Debra Messing as Laura Diamond, Josh Lucas as Jake Broderick, Callie Thorne as Captain Nancy Santiani.\ncharacter, Detective Laura Diamond, will refer to as \"Santini\". She'll play Messing's all-business new boss at the 2nd Precinct. According to NBC Publicity, \"despite her youth and her petite size, Santiani runs a tight ship and refuses to take any crap from Laura, who doles out plenty of it. But despite their constant clash, these two strong women - both single moms - will find common ground and come to understand each other, even if they can't stand to be in the same room with each other.\"\nSeason 2 of \"The Mysteries of Laura\" premieres Wednesday, Sept. 23 on NBC (8 p.m. ET/PT).\nColbert's Debut Ho Hum: Not up to the Fanfare\nI admit I was not a regular viewer of the Colbert Report on Comedy Central, but I did like Stephen Colbert's humor and I know he could be very funny almost every night.\nSo when I tuned in to his debut of \"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\" on CBS, I was expecting a lot, at least one laugh out loud moment.\nI'm sure I wasn't the only viewer who was disappointed. Clearly, a lot of\nwork went into the first program. The intro featured a produced piece of Colbert singing the Star Spangled Banner (in very good voice) with different groups from around the country in various settings. It was great. Nice, amusing and had a kicker at the end - a cameo from Colbert's former colleague Jon Stewart. The music from Jon Batiste and the Stay Human band was great. The production had energy and the new set and renovated Ed Sullivan Theater are terrific.\nBut maybe the intro and the setting were the best parts of the show.\nAfter that, there was a monologue (nothing special), host chat with two silly product placement gags (Oreo and Sabra hummus) that went nowhere, and two interviews.\nThe first, with George Clooney, was fine, but not incredibly entertaining. Colbert went out of his way to say (more than once) that the movie star was appearing as a courtesy, not to plug a project. He then went on to help Clooney speak at length about his work in Darfur. No doubt Clooney is doing a great thing there in the western Sudan, but let's not say he wasn't plugging anything.\nThe second interview, with Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush was a little more fun and somewhat revealing of the former Florida governor's personality, but it wasn't exceptional.\nViewership for the debut Colbert \"Late Show\" was astounding. The AP reported that 6.6 million people tuned in, which was double what David Letterman drew a year ago. So that's good. And I'm sure Colbert will hone his presentation and content as he becomes familiar with the new venue and audience.\nI won't, therefore, say he's a fail, just that he has a way to go before he becomes must-see TV on a nightly basis. We know he has the ability to be very funny. There's little chance he won't get there.\nMaria Bartiromo will Fill Don Imus' Shoes on Fox Business Network\nTV Newser is reporting that FBN is changing up its daytime schedule.\nIn what it calls an exclusive, Maria Bartiromo\u2018s show will now air Stuart Varney anchoring from 9am-Noon. Neil Cavuto is moving from prime time and will host a new show called Cavuto Coast-to-Coast at NoonET.\nfrom 6am-9amET, followed by\nTrish Regan, who joined FBN from Bloomberg in March, will anchor the 2pmET hour. TVNewser hears more changes will be announced this afternoon.\nThe programming changes follow FBN\u2019s decision to end the Don Imus morning simulcast, which had been a staple on the network for 6 years.\nNBC's 2015-2016: The Return of \"Coach,\" New shows for J-Lo, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Neil Patrick Harris, America Ferrera, Ray Liotta and more\nAs it closes in on its second consecutive season-long victory in the key adult 18-49 demographic, NBC unveils a new 2015-16 primetime schedule that combines popular returning series, edge-of-your-seat new dramas, inventive new comedies and season nine of the Emmy Award-winning musical competition series \u201cThe Voice.\u201d\nNBC is on track to win the traditional September-to-May primetime\nseason in adults 18-49 for the second year in a row after having gone the prior 10 years without an 18-49 win.

The new comedies kicking off an all-new Tuesday are GRANDFATHERED and THE GRINDER. A comedy about coming of age \u2013 at any age \u2013 GRANDFATHERED stars John Stamos (\u201cFull House,\u201d \u201cER\u201d) as the ultimate bachelor whose life is turned upside down when he discovers he\u2019s not only a father, but a grandfather. THE GRINDER, starring Emmy Award nominee Rob Lowe (\u201cParks and Recreation,\u201d \u201cThe West Wing\u201d) and Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award nominee Fred Savage (\u201cThe Wonder Years\u201d), follows a famous TV lawyer (Lowe) who, after his hit series, \u201cThe Grinder,\u201d is canceled, moves back home and joins his brother (Savage) at their family\u2019s real-life law firm \u2013 despite having no formal education, no bar certification, no license to practice and no experience in an actual courtroom.\nAward-winning executive producers Ryan Murphy (GLEE, \u201cAmerican Horror Story\u201d), Brad Falchuk (GLEE, \u201cAmerican Horror Story\u201d) and Ian Brennan (GLEE) meld comedy, mystery and horror in SCREAM QUEENS. All hell is about to break loose for the Kappa House sisters of Wallace University when a murder takes place, exactly 20 years after a mysterious death originally rocked their college campus. The super-charged anthology series is a modern take on the classic whodunit with a killer cast, including Emma Roberts (\u201cAmerican Horror Story: Freak Show,\u201d \u201cScream 4\u201d), Jamie Lee Curtis (\u201cHalloween,\u201d \u201cA Fish Called Wanda,\u201d \u201cTrue Lies\u201d), Lea Michele (GLEE), Oliver Hudson (\u201cNashville,\u201d \u201cRules of Engagement\u201d), Keke Palmer (\u201cAkeela and the Bee,\u201d \u201cMasters of Sex\u201d) and guest stars Ariana Grande and Nick Jonas (\u201cKingdom\u201d), among others.\nWith at least one casualty each week until the mystery is solved, anyone could be the next victim \u2013 or the murderer. Two new dramas \u2013 the futuristic MINORITY REPORT and the Miami-set ROSEWOOD \u2013 debut this fall. Based on Steven Spielberg\u2019s international blockbuster film and the first of his films to be adapted for television, MINORITY REPORT follows the partnership between a man (Stark Sands, \u201cInside Llewyn Davis\u201d) haunted by the future and a cop (Meagan Good, \u201cThink Like A Man\u201d franchise, \u201cCalifornication\u201d) haunted by her past, as they race to stop the worst crimes before they happen. Also joining the schedule this fall is ROSEWOOD. From executive producer Todd Harthan (\u201cPsych,\u201d \u201cDominion\u201d), ROSEWOOD stars Morris Chestnut (\u201cNurse Jackie,\u201d \u201cThe Best Man\u201d franchise) as DR. BEAUMONT ROSEWOOD, JR., a brilliant private pathologist who uses wildly sophisticated technology and his drive to live life to the fullest to help a tough-as-nails detective (Jaina Lee Ortiz, \u201cThe After\u201d) and the Miami PD uncover clues no one else can see. The next mind-bending chapter of THE X-FILES debuts with a special two-night event beginning Sunday, Jan. 24 (10:00-11:00 PM ET/7:00-8:00 PM PT), following the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, and continuing with its time period premiere on Monday, Jan. 25 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).\nThe thrilling, six-episode event series, helmed by creator/executive producer Chris Carter and starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as FBI Agents FOX MULDER and DANA SCULLY, marks the momentous return of the Emmy Award- and Golden Globe-winning pop culture phenomenon, which remains one of the longest-running sci-fi series in network television history.\nIn 2016, additional new series joining the schedule include devilish\nBye-Bye American Idol\ndrama LUCIFER and modern action series THE FRANKENSTEIN CODE; and two comedies, THE GUIDE TO SURVIVING LIFE and animated BORDERTOWN. Based on characters from DC Entertainment\u2019s Vertigo imprint, LUCIFER stars Tom Ellis (\u201cMerlin\u201d) as the charming, charismatic and handsome-as-hell original fallen angel, who, bored and unhappy in Hell, takes refuge in Los Angeles, where he uses his gift of persuasion to punish bad guys. But the longer he\u2019s away from the underworld, the greater the threat that the worst of humanity could escape. In THE FRANKENSTEIN CODE, from executive producer/writer Rand Ravich (\u201cLife,\u201d \u201cCrisis\u201d) and executive producer Howard Gordon (\u201cHomeland,\u201d \u201c24\u201d), a disgraced, 75-year-old ex-sheriff, whose life ends at the hands of corrupt cops, is brought back to life and given a second chance by a pair of young tech scientists, as a 35-year-old (Rob Kazinsky, \u201cTrue Blood\u201d) with unpredictable near-superhuman abilities.\nNEW GIRL will return to Tuesdays in January, for its first-ever season of virtually uninterrupted originals. These weekly all-new episodes will platform THE GUIDE TO SURVIVING LIFE, the new young ensemble comedy about a group of friends living together for the first time. Each episode is told from the perspective of COOPER BARRETT (Jack Cutmore-Scott, \u201cKingsman: The Secret Service\u201d), a wickedly charming and deeply flawed recent college grad whose life is filled with terrible choices, excellent mistakes and fantastic misadventures. A new animated comedy from FAMILY GUY\u2019s Mark Hentemann and Seth MacFarlane, BORDERTOWN is a satirical look at the cultural shifts taking place in America. Exploring family, politics and everything in between with a cross-cultural wink, the series centers on two very different families living in a fictional Southwest desert town on the U.S. - Mexico border.\nAMERICAN IDOL will begin its 15th \u2013 and final \u2013 season this January on FOX. A season-long celebratory event, AMERICAN IDOL XV will feature host Ryan Seacrest and judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr., as they search for the final IDOL superstar and pay tribute to the past 14 seasons of amazingly talented contestants and the millions of fans who tweeted, texted and championed their IDOLs.\nAs previously announced, GREASE: LIVE, a three-hour production of the massively popular crossover musical \u201cGrease,\u201d starring superstar singers, dancers and actresses Julianne Hough (\u201cSafe Haven,\u201d \u201cRock of Ages\u201d) and Vanessa Hudgens (Broadway\u2019s \u201cGigi,\u201d \u201cSpring Breakers\u201d), will air LIVE Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016 on FOX.

        "raw_content": "Northeast Women\u2019s Folkstyle Wrestling Championships\nLyman Memorial High School, Lebanon, CT\nOn March 7th, 2009 USAWCT (USA Wrestling, Connecticut) held the first Northeast Regional women\u2019s folkstyle wrestling tournament. There are clearly too few opportunities for women and girls to wrestle in their own events. They generally compete in boys events where they can be competitive through the middle school level. Although some state scholastic athletic organizations (e.g. Maine, Texas, California and Hawaii) provide opportunities for girls to wrestle each other, Connecticut is one of the many states that does not. This event was organized first to provide an opportunity for girls in the Northeast to wrestle other girls and secondly to provide an opportunity for girls to experience a higher level of competition than a local or state tournament generally provides, without the expense of traveling to the major national events.\nThis first time event drew 51 girls from seven states, 16 Elementary, 16 Middle School, 19 High School and 2 Open division wrestlers. This was helped in part by publication of the event through the USA Wrestling National organization and through significant efforts to get the word out to all of the USA Wrestling Women\u2019s Directors and State Chairmen in the Northeastern United States. There were girls relatively new to the sport of wrestling, there was at least one All American in the High School division and several national level medalists in the Elementary division. The complete tournament brackets and results can be found at the USAWCT web site (http://www.usawct.org). Discussions among the coaches and parents at the event support our hope that we will have an even larger turn out for the 2010 tournament.\nThe Northeast regional event drew wrestlers from seven states:\nWrestlers from six states won Gold medals. Connecticut had a very strong showing in numbers and champions in the Elementary and Middle School divisions, winning 8 of the 9 divisions. The champions in the five High School divisions came from four different states, Maine with 2 and New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island with one each. The Open division was won by a wrestler from New York. There were competitive matches in every weight class and even the eventual Outstanding Wrestler faced a serious challenging match. This is the type of competition that we hope to see more of in the future.\nThe High School Outstanding Wrestler award for the tournament went to Tierra Williams from Maine. Tierra was a Maine Girl\u2019s State Champion in 2009 and an All American at the USGWA Nationals in 2008. Tierra is looking very strong and wrestling very well two weight classes lower this year than when she made All American in 2008.\nWe are looking forward to seeing more girls from more states in 2010 and more great wrestling !!!",

        "raw_content": "Conjurer's Field Archaeological Site\nThe Conjurer\u2019s Field Archaeological Site is located on the former plantation of Conjurer\u2019s Neck along the Appomattox River. Archaeological excavations at the site have unearthed artifacts representative of the prehistoric Middle and Late Woodland periods.\nIn 1620, a small group of colonists settled in the spot where the Swift Creek runs into the Appomattox River. The place came to be known as Conjurer\u2019s Neck because a Native American priest or healer, which the English called a \"conjurer,\" is thought to have lived there at one time. The presence of such conjurers was considered protective, as they were believed to ward off evil spirits dwelling in the waters.\nThe Old Brick (Kennon) House\nRichard Kennon purchased the Conjurer's Neck property in 1677 and settled there sometime thereafter. A prosperous merchant of Bermuda Hundred, he also represented Henrico County several times in the House of Burgesses. Kennon had married Elizabeth Worsham in 1675. Their first child, Richard, died at the age of four, and his gravestone is located on the property.\nIn 1711, after Richard Kennon's death, his widow deeded Conjurer's Neck to her second son, William. He eventually deeded the property to his son, Richard. Conjurer's Neck passed out of the Kennon family in the late 18th century and was subdivided into eight farms. Long a prominent landmark on the river, the Kennon home was called \"Brick House\" on maps and navigational charts of the period.\nThe Old Brick House, Courtesy of Tredegar Droneworks, Inc.\nThe Brick House was purchased by Robert Henry Batte of Petersburg in 1880. A year before that, a fire that had started in the adjacent kitchen spread to the house, destroying its interior and cracking the north wall. Extinguishing the fire had been difficult because the well was too close to the burning house, and the tide was out in the nearby river. Sometime after the fire, the north and south walls were replaced with new walls that eliminated the recesses at both ends, effectively shortening the house. Batte sold the Brick House in 1885 and once again, it passed through a succession of owners.\nIn 1909, Willis Comstock purchased the farm and the Brick House. At the time, there was attached to the north side a two-story wooden addition, which was torn down in 1971. Occupied primarily by the Comstock family until 1988, the Brick House was briefly used as an office for real estate agents selling property in the Conjurer\u2019s Neck subdivision.\nIn 1990, it was deeded to the Conjurer\u2019s Neck Homeowners' Association, with ownership transferred to the Old Brick House Foundation in 2001. In 2003, both the house and the surrounding property were incorporated into the Conjurer\u2019s Neck Archeological District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\nToday, the Old Brick House incorporates many architectural changes made over the years, including 18th century Flemish bond brickwork on the exterior. However, it is thought at its core to be the oldest brick house in the region and among the oldest houses in Virginia.\nThe Old Brick House is open for tours and is managed by the Old Brick House Foundation. There is no admission fee for interior tours, but they must be arranged by appointment.\nSpecial Occasion Rental\nThe Old Brick House may be rented for special occasions, such as weddings, wedding parties, family reunions, and other public events.\nThe house is located at 131 Waterfront Drive, Colonial Heights, Virginia. For more information, please visit the Old Brick House Foundation website.\nView video below for a complete history of the building and the area:",

        "raw_content": "Thus, the number one tip for breaking up with someone is to actually break up with them. If you can't do it face to face, do it over text message, email, or Facebook Chat. This is better than a phase out.\nDespite their picture-perfect romance, which included a PDA-heavy appearance at the American Music Awards, Bieber was embroiled in weeks-long accusations that he fathered a baby with a fan, Mariah Yeater. I feel like everything else will come organically.\nWhen it comes to life after a breakup, it can seem like everyone around you is suddenly an expert. Family members come out of the woodwork to tell you how they never really liked your ex.\nThere have been a few articles about the pros and cons of dating the Generation Y military man , and while some of them are better reads than others, I felt the need to weigh in. This is based solely on the experiences of my veteran friends, as well as my own with a past paramour.\nLet me make this perfectly clear: Every time you go out in public you could have over the top pda with him \u2014 and he could be dating 10 other women. Or you could both pay for dates without any expectation of exclusivity.\nHow soon is too soon to start dating after having a baby\nSunday is considered sacred by Mormons, and they do not undertake any entertaining or outdoor activities that result in spending, on that day. Certainly there are such people in the church, but there are such people in any organization, and I would challenge you to remember that the members are also individuals with thoughts, feelings and the ability to rebel in their own ways. Thanks so much for the links.\nIn addition to your religious leaders, there are counselors who specialize in interfaith couples. Go on dates on days other than Sunday. Mind control is not child's play, and the Mormon church has real people's blood on their hands for the despicable damage they've caused. He also said that emergency medicine is highly competitive.\nThey believe that the body is a temple that needs to be worshiped, and that inner beauty is more important. Do you really love him, honey.\nThe most common of these so-called \"fatal attractions\". That brings us to another fact about marital success: A study from psychology researchers Laura VanderDrift, James McNulty, and Levi Baker found that how satisfied you think you'll be with your relationship in the future is linked to your level of commitment and the work you'll do on your relationship today. As relationship expert and university professor Eli Finkel told Business Insider , \"The degree to which you're compatible right now isn't any sort of guarantee whatsoever that you'll be compatible even in three years or five years.\nWe need to get over ourselves and start loving each other how the Lord intended. Good luck to you and your boyfriend. Now that my boyfriend and I are beginning to talk about a future together, though, I realize that I need to consider this question of marrying outside of the church very carefully. Here is hoping I manage to land myself one of them and preferably a single one!!..",

Research is dedicated to analytical procurement of risk control process as a factor that can ensure the quality of its implementation by tour operator.\nReview of scientific sources. Analysis of scientific views shows, that despite the significant research related to problems of risk oriented internal control, there is a lack of researches devoted to the risks as control object.\nThe purpose of this paper is to present the analytical procedures of risk assessments as part of the analytical procurement of risk control process during the tourist product\u2019s formation.\nResults. The role of analytical procurement within the risk control methods is considered. Paper deals with the feasibility and shows the process of using the games theory, namely the Bayes criterion, for the satisfaction of informational needs of tour operator within identifying the risks of making wrong decisions related to the output of travel products.\nThe impact of specifics risk as an object of internal control of tour operator on the determination of control methods is significant. The use of economic analysis methodical receptions within the internal control (modern manifestation of which is the risk-control), is a necessary precondition ensuring its effectiveness.\nThe use of games theory (which aim is to maximize gains or minimize loss if the player makes a decision due to the uncertainty and a result of the chosen strategy depends on all of participants of the game), as a part of the analytical procurement risk control process during tourism product formation, will increase the effectiveness of management decisions.\nConclusion. Calculations based on the Bayes criterion within risk control methods will allow to predict the demand for tourism products and will promote the efficiency of decision-making.\nBecause risks associated with a lack of demand for tourism products is an extremely important factor can negatively affect the results of the tour operator and even lead to its bankruptcy.\nKeywords: risk, uncertainty, tour operator, control.",

        "title": "Vitamin A",
        "raw_content": "Vitamin A: Vitamin A refers to a group of structurally related fat-soluble substances. \"Vitamin A\" usually refers to retinol, found in animal-derived sources such as liver and dairy foods. The carotenoids, include alph-,beta-, gamma- and delta- carotene, zeaxanthin, lutein, and lycopene come from fruits and vegetables. One IU is equal to 0.30 micrograms of all-trans retinol or to 0.60 micrograms of all-trans beta carotene. Deficiency of Vitamin A may be caused by inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption syndromes (e.g. Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis), pancreatic disease and chronic liver disease (e.g. cirrhosis).\nToxicity: Too much Vitamin A can result in dry, itchy skin, headache, fatigue, hair loss and liver damage. In pregnant women excess may induce birth defects (as can deficiency). Beta-carotene's conversion is very much slowed when there is sufficient Vitamin A in the body, and is therefore not felt to be a potential risk for toxicity. A recent clinical trial in Finnish smokers who supplemented their diet with 20 mg of beta-carotene had an increased risk of lung cancer, but there may be a relationship between alcohol because \"only those men who consumed more than 11g/day of alcohol (approximately one drink/day) showed an adverse response...in the lung cancer trial\".\nTolerable Upper Limits: Because of the potential risk the FDA does not recommend beta-carotene at this time. The TULs for Vitamin A are:\nPregnant and lactating women: 5000 IU\nMen and women 11y and older:10,000 IU\nChildren 1-3 1000 IU; 4-8 1,333 IU; 9-13 2000 IU; >14 3000 IU.\nDrug Interactions: Absorption of Vitamin A is decreased by cholestyramine and other drugs resulting in fat malabsorption (e.g. Olestra), colestipol, mineral oil, and neomycin. Oral contraceptives may increase serum retinol. Supplemental vitamin A may add to the toxicity of retinoid drugs (e.g. isotretinoin, acitretin).",

        "raw_content": "Home Featured Vespers Descent\nSince their inspection in 2001, Vespers Descent has endeavoured to create metal of the very highest quality and share it with Australian audiences. Drawing early influences from the Florida Tampa Bay sceneand the more melodic sounds of the Gothenburg Swedish scene, the band forged a sound that to this day has continued to evolve and grow.\nThe Band\u2019s first foray into a recorded production came in 2003 with the creation of the \"Three Faces of Eve\" EP, which was released amidst a raft of live performances and constant rehearsing.The result ended in Vespers Descent snaring two important international supports, namely Mayhem and Opeth, which helped the band gain some recognition just prior to this first release.\nThe EP launched in November of 2003 and was considered by many as abreakthrough for melodic death metal in Australia. Throughout 2004 Vespers Descent continued to promote their EP along with supporting many reputable Australian metal bands such as Destroyer 666, Days End and Alchemist. The band was also selected as support for the Perth leg of Exhumed's Australian Tour 2004. After supporting Days End on their national tour. The band continued to finish up material for a full-length release slated for 2005.\nVespers Descent entered the studio in 2005 to record their long anticipated album, only stopping in June for 10 days to jump on the national tour supporting US death metal merchants Hate Eternal with fellow death metal purveyorsPsycroptic. The band was met with much praise around Australia's east coast, selling out all copies of their EP, shirts, and samplers. Returning home, the album was finished up in September and after filming their first clip to the song \"Cardinal Red\", Visions in Verse was released on November 5th 2005.\nThe band found itself with a new line-up in 2008 and a need to convey this change through the creation of a new EP entitled \"Realty Dysfunction\". The 6 track EP featuring 4 new blistering tracks and production by Peter Witches of Soilwork, once again raising the bar for Australian melodic Death Metal, proving to the world that Vespers Descent is a force to reckoned with. After the success of their EP launch the band was invited to support \"Children of Bodom\" on the Perth leg of their Australian tour.\nIn 2010 Vespers Descent entered the studio once again in order to craft a follow up to their successful EP \"Realty Dysfunction\". The Band decided that the only way to truly capture their new sound, developed through a yearlong writing process, was to be involved with every aspect of the musical production. Thereforeafter 10 years of producing world class Australian Metal Vespers Descent looks confidently towards the release of their new Full Length Album Entitled \u201cFragments of the Forgotten\u201d Due for an early 2011 release.\nVESPERS DESCENT are:\nGrant Burns (guitar)\nBen Mazzarol (drums)\nRichard Clements (vocals)\nDrew Shepherd (guitar)\nAdam Fitzgerald (bass)",

On 24 June, poachers armed with AK47 rifles attacked the facility and killed seven people, including two rangers. The appeal hopes to raise $120,000 by 31st July to help the families of the victims and repair the Reserve\u2019s headquarters.\nwww.justgiving.com/okapi\nLed by the notorious elephant poacher known as Morgan, the attackers torched buildings and destroyed equipment. Unless the facility can be restored very soon, these poachers will have met their objective; to move freely about the reserve in their search for elephant tusks.\n\u201cUnless we can reverse this situation quickly, this will be a real setback for the conservation in Okapi Wildlife Reserve, home to the largest remaining population of forest elephants in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We can\u2019t let those poachers kill rangers and hunt wildlife with impunity,\u201d urged Guy Debonnet, of UNESCO\u2019s World Heritage Centre.\nThe Reserve is a World Heritage site. Funds from the campaign will be used to protect its elephants, whose population has been declining rapidly because of the ivory poaching. They will also help to re-establish the Reserve\u2019s successful okapi breeding programme, which has played a critical role in preserving the gene pool of this rare forest giraffe. 15 okapi were killed in the raid. Buildings will be rebuilt and equipment repaired or replaced. Perhaps most importantly, the families of those who were killed will be supported.\nIn a meeting with UNESCO during the recent session of the World Heritage Committee in Saint Petersburg, the Director General of the Congolese Institute of Nature Conservation (ICCN), Cosma Wilungula, expressed grave concern over the situation in Okapi and called on UNESCO to help resume the conservation activities that were halted by the attack.\nThe appeal for funds is conducted as part of the Rapid Response Facility created by UNESCO and Fauna and Flora International to raise financial assistance for conservation emergencies.\n*Read about new updates\nRRF grant awarded to rebuilt the Okapi Wildlife Reserve Friday, 20 July 2012\nUNESCO Director-General preoccupied by fighting in World Heritage sites in eastern DRC Friday, 29 June 2012",

Alas, this aid affects the health of a helping person. Plucked back, hernia and other spinal problems are an indispensable companion of a people who care . Payment of the people involved in the care is very expensive.\nThere is an alternative. You can be mobile, it is easy to move from the wheelchair to the bed and back, use a car, have a free access to the bathroom, the toilet and enjoy a full life, not lying for decades on a bed because no one can transplant you. However, this does not affect the back of those who helps.\nImmobile lifts for the disabled provide moving and fulfilling life for people with limited mobility.\nHome electric lifts for disabled people, bath lifts, toilet and bedroom \u2013 is today a distant dream for many people confined to a wheelchair. The reason is not only in the high price, but offered by rehabilitation equipment mobile lifts for the disabled, at the moment, in most cases, are unsuitable for use at home because of the narrow door and corridor openings, ladders and other limitations of the housing space.\nInnovation Workshop \u201cFather Savva\u201d (\u201cOtche Savva\u201d) offers lifts O-SAVVA, created for the non-mobile and limited mobility of people and the elderly, by proceeding from the actual needs of people with disabilities. And, that is important, the high quality is for a very affordable price.\nAmong the most popular of our products are:\n\u00abMinik\u201d \u2013 the general-purpose electric lift for wheelchairs \u2013 for home, car and travel.\nSAVVA TPS2 \u2013 a device for lifting and moving people with disabilities. This tool quickly and easily fits into the trunk of the smallest car, it is suitable for narrow doorways 60 cm wide, and has a shorter length of the \u201cpaws\u201d \u2013 90 cm, that makes it indispensable in everyday life as well as in hospitals or health resort and spa complexes .\nSAVVA-150 \u2013 Mobile lift for disabled overweight people. It provides lifting and comfortable moving of the sick person weighing up to 150 kg.\nSki lifts for patients with electric driver MINIK-S is a device for the care of the sick and the elderly.\nWorkshop \u201cOtche Sava\u00bb (O-SAVVA) aims to take into account the individual characteristics of people. After all, many people live in cramped housing conditions in which standard medical lift just do not go down, and many people (who hold their head and lower back) do not need huge hammocks for lifting, straight board with armrests and backrest for them is more comfortable. In fact, consideration of all of these features is the main feature of our lifting equipment.\nOver the activity years of the workshop \u201cFather Savva\u201d all manufactured lifts has been working properly, as evidenced by customer reviews. It is given 12 months guarantee and all supporting documents on all the equipment.\nInnovational workshop \u201cFather Sava\u201d is part of the Working Group of Industry and Trade of Russia on the development of the market of modern technical means of rehabilitation, it participates in exhibitions, concludes international agreements, in particular with Lithuania, works with the Social Security, has the official certificates.

Our Drill Sergeant allowed us to listen to the radio for the first half of the day, but it did not register to me the gravity of what had happened. I also had virtually no connection to the outside world.\nAfter graduation, a small handful of us who were unable to travel by bus to advanced training remained in the barracks for nearly two weeks due to the grounding of flights. We could go to the PX on base and had limited access to the the rest of the base, but never left base. I never bought a newspaper or listened to the radio. I was completely isolated to the trepidation that had fallen on the rest of the country.\nWhen I eventually did leave for advanced training, the airports and planes we rode on were almost completely empty, but the gravity of what had transpired still did not dawn on me. When we arrived at advanced training, I spent the next six months immersed in training. There was some conversation about what had transpired, but none of it was real to me. I was largely isolated and disconnected from the rest of the world due to both choice, ignorance and the controlled nature of the military training environment. In fact, it wasn't until long after I left (chaptered out of) the Army at the end of 2003 that I eventually began to pick up on the shared sentiment surrounding 9/11 in the country.\nWhen others talk about where they were and what they were doing, it is obvious that it was something the entire country went through together and it formed a common bond among Americans. I love hearing about and reading the stories like the ones on this site, but for me the memory feels strange, almost like a piece of missing time...almost.",

Cartman suggests he call the police and claim they're \"molestering\" him. Kyle does it, and his parents are immediately carted off to prison. The arrangement looks so appealing that soon every child in South Park accuses an adult of \"molestering.\" The grownups are all hauled away, leaving the town in the hands of the kids.\nSometime later a couple named Mark and Linda are passing through South Park when their car breaks down. The town has become a desolate, post-nuclear-family wasteland divided into two warring factions -- one led by Cartman (Smiley Town), the other by Stan and Kyle (Treasure Cove). Their main disagreement is over how to worship The Provider -- a 20-foot-tall statue of former Denver Broncos quarterback, John Elway.\nThe out-of-towners convince the kids that the \"birth givers\" (their parents) from \"the before time\" are necessary evils. They're also stunned to learn that the grownups have only been gone 10 days. The kids agree to tell the police they were lying about the \"molestering.\" The parents return, but intense therapy while in prison has convinced them that they did, indeed, molest their children. They promise not to do it again. Then the boys wander off to build a snow igloo.\n\"Things were a lot better with our parents around.\"\n\"Parents can be pretty cruel sometimes, dude. They get off on it.\" Stan\n\"When I wanted to get rid of my mom's last boyfriend, I just called the police and said he was molestering me, and I haven't seen him for three months.\" Cartman\n\"Having no parents is awesome!\" Stan\n\"Snow igloos kick ass.\" Cartman\n\"You can go to the Raging Pussies concert if you clean out the garage, shovel the driveway, and bring democracy to Cuba.\" Sheila Broflovski\n\"OUTLANDER!! WE HAVE YOUR WOMAN!!!\" Mayor Cartman\n\"I'm gonna be sacrificed to the Provider!!\" Butters\n\"Be careful, Mark! They'll make you disappear with the M word!!\" Linda Cotner\nButters' parents, who in light of their somewhat cavalier attitude toward his physical and emotional well-being in coming episodes, seem very concerned about him in this show.\nMark and Linda, a married couple that gets stranded in Smiley Town/Treasure Cove. We also briefly meet Fidel Castro.\nMark and Linda Cotner\nKenny, whose corpse lies at the feet of the town's 20-foot-tall statue of John Elway. There's also a couple other dead kids at the base of the statute. Butters, although more than willing, narrowly avoids being sacrificed to The Provider.\nKyle sings to bring democracy to Cuba with his song \"One Wish\". It's so powerful, it single-handedly causes Fidel Castro to make Cuba democratic.\nOriginally Matt and Trey planned to have Cartman build a huge shield that blocked the sun from the side of town he didn't control. But at the last moment they discovered that The Simpsons had already done something similar.\nCraig dresses up as an astronaut and plays Spaceman. Mark calls him \"Spaceman Spiff\" -- a reference to a similar character in the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.\nAfter Castro decides to make Cuba into a democracy and allow American tourists, the newscaster reports that \"plans can finally resume for Knott's Berry Farm, Cuba\". Knott's Berry Farm is a popular theme park located in California.\nWhen parents are being rounded up, Chef is one of two half-naked men escorted out of Mrs. Cartman's house.

Originally it was intended as a holiday in honor of Maimonides\u2019 father, who died on that day in Fez.

        "title": "The Girls of Summer : Women's Cricket on the Web",
        "raw_content": "Previous Page (WT20 concludes with West Indies hat-trick)\n[Based on an ECB Press Release]\nAn exclusive behind the scenes account of England\u2019s 2015 Women\u2019s Ashes campaign, written by David Tossell, will be released on Friday 15th April.\nThe 320 page book entitled: \u201cThe Girls of Summer: An Ashes Year with the England Women\u2019s Cricket Team\u201d tells the vivid story behind an historic year for the team, which ultimately ended in Ashes heartbreak in front of a record-breaking crowd in Hove.\nTo write the book, author David Tossell was given unprecedented access to follow the England women\u2019s team from within the set-up over a nine month period \u2013 from freezing training mornings at the National Cricket Performance Centre in Loughborough in January, to the dressing room and team meetings throughout the seven match multi-format Women\u2019s Ashes series against Australia.\nSpeaking about the release of the book, England women\u2019s captain, Charlotte Edwards, said:\n\u201cI am sure that The Girls of Summer will be a fascinating read. As a team we welcomed David into the group from the very beginning \u2013 he saw, felt and lived every moment with us \u2013 from the highs in Taunton and Chelmsford to the lows in Canterbury and heartbreak in Hove. I will always ultimately reflect on the 2015 Women\u2019s Ashes series with an overriding feeling of disappointment, but there is so much more depth to the story of last summer than the final score line, and we are looking forward to sharing that story through this book.\n\u201cIt is also brilliant news that Chance to Shine will receive some of the book proceeds. The England women\u2019s cricket team has very close links to the charity through our work as coaching ambassadors for them, so it is excellent that they will benefit in this way.\u201d\nAuthor David Tossell added:\n\u201cWatching the events of such an historic year from close quarters was a real privilege and a fascinating experience. It was impossible not to get caught up in the emotions of the dressing room and to feel deeply the highs and lows that the girls were going through. Hopefully, those emotions, plus the great range of characters within the England team, will come across to anyone reading the book.\"\nTo celebrate the release of the book on Friday 15th April England women\u2019s duo, Charlotte Edwards and Lydia Greenway, will deliver a Chance to Shine coaching session and book signing at Houghton Primary School in Huntingdon \u2013 less than ten miles from where the England women\u2019s captain, Charlotte Edwards grew-up in Pidley.\nThe Girls of Summer includes:\nAll the key on-field moments \u2013 and the players\u2019 reaction to them \u2013 right up to the dramatic climax of the series, as seen from inside the dressing room\nCharlotte Edwards describing how she was once almost too intimidated to play the sport with which she has become synonymous, and how she maintains her passion for cricket after two decades in the international game\nKate Cross discussing how she fought to overcome the devastating effects of depression to become one of the game\u2019s leading young players\nKatherine Brunt relating her battles against injury and low teenage self-esteem to become the heartbeat of the team and one of the world\u2019s fastest bowlers\nInsights into what Edwards says to her team on the eve of a Test, and how coach Paul Shaw set about keeping the girls calm and focused as results began to go against them\nDiscussion of women\u2019s cricket\u2019s development towards a professional era \u2013 and what is needed to continue the growth of English cricket, both at international and domestic level\nThe story behind Shaw\u2019s departure as Head of England Women\u2019s Performance at the conclusion of the Women\u2019s Ashes\nNon-England Internationals to Play in the Super-League Announced\nThe names of the internationals (other than the English players which had already been announced) have now been released. The squads are here.\nIf there was an overall impression I obtained as I read down the list it was - where are the Pakistani, Sri Lankan or possibly even Bangladeshi players? I had been wondering if the likes of Sana Mir or Chamari Atapattu might get a spot. Rumour has it more than 80 overseas players asked for a place in one squad or another. With space for just 18, I profess still to be disappointed not to see players of this ilk playing in England this summer, although, of course, I would expect to see Sana Mir with the touring Pakistan side. Eighteen from eighty was never going to be easy and I guess it's possible Atapaatu et al did not put their names forward anyway. I would love to have a look at that list and chose my own eighteen. Many of the players would of course be exactly the same, but all? Probably not - and I doubt if it would agree with your list either.\nHow balanced are the squads? Something I must think about when the rest of the names are released of England Academy and County players...\nThoughts of many have turned to the forthcoming Kia Super league (KSL) even though the cricket season is imminent but not even underway for most. The reason, of course, is the drip feed of information being released. First we learned about the overseas players and how they were to be allocated, and this was followed a little later by the England players. Finally we heard about the EWA girls and the county players. This drip, drip, drip is designed to keep interest alive as we all know but there seem to be a number of tricks that are missing. Either no one has thought of them or enthusiasm among the hosts is not high enough (I do hope not!) to warrant the effort. I am referring to the information available on the web. Were it not for a few sites, some run by semi-pros or amateurs, I am not sure much info would have escaped at all.\nI set out to see if the team lists were available from the hosts sites, with mixed results. A continual gripe of mine too - where are the shirt numbers? I guess they'll be on the printed programmes sold at the grounds. Which suddenly makes think \"will there be programmes?\". Yes - of course there will. I'll ahve to wait for more info until then I guess.\nThe County Season Underway\nAnd there's only one place you'd expect me to be... You're right, on the boundary of Sussex's two games over the Bank Holiday. I'd gone to watch one team (well, one Sussex team anyway) and drove home having seen two. The one that played against Warwickshire (scorecard) looked as if they hadn't seen green grass for a while (as indeed they hadn't) and were (as someone put it) \"ring rusty\". Nothing goes right for you when that's the state of things and it certainly didn't go right for Sussex on Day One. Georgia Adams (45) and Paige Scholfield (20) were the players into double figures until Izzy Noakes appeared at no. 9. A final total of 126 included 37 extras - although 6 were leg-byes.\nIf you suspect you see 'dust' on any of the Warks v Sussex pictures it is actually drizzle!\nDuring the innings one bowler in particular came to my attention. Sure she wasn't the leading wicket taker on the day, but it's a while since I've seen a leg-spinner produce such turn, and at times bounce, as Georgia Davis (2-30), still just 16 years old. She's one to watch for the future.\nThis should never have been enough and indeed it wasn't. Sussex claimed an early wicket but then Minahil Zahoor and Anna Lanning put on almost 70 for the second wicket. With Marie Kelly's 31* Sussex's fate was sealed.\nMinahil Zahoor digs out a yorker\nIf the Sunday had been cold and damp, on the Monday the game against Kent was colder and drizzlier - if that's a word. However, Sussex, having had their warm-up decided today was the day they'd start their Championship race in earnest. (Scorecard). Kent won the toss and in view of the weather prospects being so poor made the choice any captain would have made in their position and inserted the home side.\nSussex skipper and opener, Georgia Elwiss (20 off 15 balls) cuts to the boundary\nGeorgia Adams (53 from 50 balls) drives as James Kirtley (former Sussex fast bowler in black track-suit) looks on.\nThe Sussex openers raced away to a fast start in a match shortened to 30 overs, playing as if it were a T20. The final total was helped by two massive 6s in the final over by Izzy Noakes which cleared fences (yes-plural) to finish up on an adjoining football pitch. She was out attempting a third. At 173 (a rate approaching 5.8) it seemed a good score in the appalling conditions but not a great one. Charlotte Pape starred with the ball gaining 3 wickets in her 3.4 overs. It certainly hadn't been a traditional 50-over innings but then that's the peril(?) of reduced overs cricket.\nKent's reply looked for a while as if it might follow Warwickshire of the day before, the loss of one quick wicket, in this case the England captain, and then a decent stand by Beaumont and Greenway of 82 threatened to change the complexion of the match..\nLydia Greenway (33)\nHowever, Kent needed both this and the following stands to be made at close to a run a ball and when Beaumont departed with the score at 89, they had slipped slightly from this goal but were still well in touch with 8 wkts in hand. Now, however, unlike Warks performance the day before, wickets went down in a clatter due to some fine bowling by Sussex's new signing Danni Wyatt (3), Ellen Burt (2) and Tara Norris (2).\nSussex's New Signing, Spinner Danni Wyatt (3-23)\nWith all the Kent wickets falling, and with Sussex managing more than the required 4 runs/over, the home team's emphatic win gave them not just the victory points but maximum batting and bowling points too! Kent, however, still lead them in the table by virtue of a win over Somerset by a margin of a 'mere' 221 runs!\nWere there any lessons to be drawn from what, weatherwise, was a really miserable weekend. Well, one stands out to the Sussex faithful from the contrast between these two matches. It is obvious that teams need warm-up fixtures after the long English winter to even come close to their normal form. While it's true a number of the squad had played an U-19 fixture on the Saturday, this, unfortunately, left them with a long drive the evening before the Warks game. Women's cricket is likely always to suffer with these problems being the 'poor relation' when it comes to booking pitches and similar problems, but it needs to be solved if the County Championship is to continue to feed players to the next level in this sport. There are so few fixtures in the competition that teams need to 'hit the ground running', not use the first fixture to 'warm-up'.\nA full slide-show from the weekend's matches will be uploaded shortly.\nQuote: \"I don\u2019t fear losing.

        "title": "Third Sunday in Lent: Exodus 8 \u2014 Word Fitly Spoken",
        "raw_content": "Third Sunday in Lent: Exodus 8\nThe plagues of Egypt fall into a series of three cycles of three plagues, followed by the tenth plague which stands on its own. Each cycle begins with a command to \u201cgo to Pharaoh in the morning\u201d (Exodus 7:15; 8:20; 9:13). The second plague in each cycle begins with a command to \u201cgo in and say to Pharaoh\u201d (Exodus 8:1; 9:1; 10:1). Each cycle closes with a command to simply perform the miracle without speaking to Pharaoh (Exodus 8:16; 9:8; 10:21).\nFurther, those affected by the plagues differs in each cycle. In the first cycle, all of Egypt without distinction suffers, including Israel. Only at the beginning of the second cycle are the Israelites excluded (Exodus 8:22-23). God further distinguishes between Egypt and Pharaoh at the beginning of the third cycle, since now they are directed primarily at Pharaoh (Exodus 9:14). Egypt still suffers with Pharaoh, to be sure, but the focus has been narrowed to Pharaoh specifically. This is especially fitting, since Pharaoh was regarded as a god-king, or at least a man through whom the false gods of Egypt acted. To strike at Pharaoh specifically was to strike at the very center of Egyptian religion. This concept of his own divinity also goes far to explain the hardening of his heart, a topic which will be covered in more detail later.\nThis text for the Third Sunday in Lent therefore covers the transition between the third plague at the end of the first cycle and the fourth plague at the beginning of the second. While Israel suffers with Egypt in the first half of the reading, God separates them from Egypt\u2019s punishment. The righteous may suffer for a time under the punishment of the wicked, but God will not allow it to continue forever (Matthew 24:6-7 et al).\nThe type of bug indicated by the word \u201cgnats\u201d here is not entirely certain. This word is used throughout the Old Testament most often in connection with this plague. It does occur in Isaiah 51:6 where the insects dying are set in parallel to smoke vanishing and a garment wearing out. Gnats or lice seem to be a natural conjecture, since Aaron strikes the dust. The miracle of turning dust into these insects suggests that the bugs were small like dust.\nThis may also explain why the magicians of Egypt were unable to reproduce the miracle as they had done before. These magicians were the lector-priests in ancient Egyptian religion, priests whose purpose was to read aloud particular texts. They were closely associated with magic even in Egypt, because it was believed that by reading the scrolls in their possession, they could evoke certain effects. Magic as it was understood until relatively recently in history was not an act of the will, a contest between two magicians as to who would prevail. Rather, it is a knowledge of hidden things or secret arts, a way of knowing how the machinery of the world works, so that by using particular things in a particular way at a particular time, a specific effect would result. For the modern mind, this is difficult to accept, because society no longer believes in remote causation, that is, in a relationship of cause and effect which is not immediately apparent. But it is worth noting that we reject a specific idea of what magic is, and this view of magic is not the same as the historical understanding or even necessarily a Biblical one, as may be seen in Genesis 30:25-43.\nThat being said, the miraculous conversion of dust into \u201cgnats\u201d may be something wholly without precedent, which would explain why the magicians are unable to do it. Or it may be simply a recognition that they are out of their league, much like the witch at En-Dor when she got more than she bargained for (1 Samuel 28:7-14). Either way, the lector-priests show up once more at the end of the second cycle where they are likewise powerless to act (Exodus 9:11). In the contest between the false gods of Egypt and the true living God, it is obvious who is going to win. As the Lord says in anticipation of the tenth and final plague: \u201cOn all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD\u201d (Exodus 12:12).\nTags: Exodus, Lectionary, Oculi, Third Sunday in Lent\nhttp://wordfitlyspoken.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/moses_snakes_01.jpg 300 400 Rev.

        "raw_content": "The Pros and Cons of Raising a Family in New Jersey\nIf someone from out of state asked you whether New Jersey is a decent place to raise a family, how would you respond?\nAccording to a new survey that looks at more than 40 key indicators, folks would be better off letting their kids grow up in New Jersey than most other states.\nwavebreakmedia, ThinkStock\nNew Jersey is the 12th-best state in which to raise a family, personal finance website WalletHub claims. The state earns a score of 55.71 out of 100, compared to 63.37 earned by the top state, Massachusetts.\nIn the socioeconomics category, consisting of 12 indicators, the Garden State is highlighted for recording the third-lowest divorce rate in the nation. New Jersey's overall ranking in the category is 31 out of the 50 states \u2014 same for the family fun category.\nBut the state makes up for those downfalls in the categories of health and safety; affordability; and education and child care.\nPerhaps to the surprise of many homeowners, New Jersey ranks second among the states for affordability. While the state scores low for housing affordability and retirement access, the state ranks seventh for median annual family income (adjusted for cost of living) and sixth for the percentage of adults setting money aside for their children's college education.\nThe state boasts the second-lowest property crime rate at 15.45 incidents per 1,000 residents.\nAt 90.1 percent, New Jersey's public high school graduation rate ranks second nationwide.\n\"If you look at the amount spent on education, and education outcomes, I think New Jersey is among the best in the country,\" said Cecilia Zalkind, president of Advocates for Children of New Jersey, responding to the report.\nZalkind noted New Jersey's preschool program may be the best in the country \u2014 a full-day offered for 3- and 4-year-olds in 35 low-income communities.\nBut the state's child care system is struggling, in terms of cost and availability, Zalkind said. While more than 207,000 New Jersey children under the age of 3 live in families where both parents work, licensed child care centers have the capacity to serve roughly 55,600 infants and toddlers, according to a report released last spring by ACNJ.\nZalkind said if she were asked by an outsider whether they should move to New Jersey to raise a family, she'd say, \"absolutely yes.\"\n\"We set a high standard for ourselves as a state,\" she said. \"I think we can always point out areas that need improvement, but we have some fundamental opportunities for children here that are unique.\"\nScoring 32.68 out of 100 in the report, New Mexico ranks as the worst state in which to raise a family.\nSource: The Pros and Cons of Raising a Family in New Jersey",

Rock falls, debris flows, slumps, lateral spread, creep are all types of landslides. Landslides can damage or destroy roads, pipelines, structures, and utility lines. They can also temporarily block rivers with earthen dams, which when over topped by backed up water can cause flash-flooding downstream. When landslides do occur in populated areas, they can cause significant damage and loss of life. Local geology, geologic structures, hydrology, and precipitation are the primary contributors to landslides. Human activities, such as road construction and surface water diversion, can also have an effect on the occurrence of landslides.\nLandslides occur every year in Wyoming, however, most occur in remote areas and do no typically cause damage. The WSGS has mapped more than 30,000 landslides.\nLandslide Database\nPreliminary Map of Landslides in Wyoming\nTypes of Landslides\nRotational (slump)\nDebris Flow\u2014A mass of loose, water-laden and poorly sorted debris of fragmented rock, soil, and mud that surges down a slope in response to gravitational processes.

        "title": "Types of Business Organizations - Accounting & Taxation",
        "raw_content": "Home Accounting Commerce Knowledge Types of Business Organizations\nThree principal types of organizations have developed as ways of owning and operating business enterprise.\nIn general, business entity or organizations are:\nLet us discuss these concepts starting with the simplest form of business organization, the single or sole proprietorship.\nA sole proprietorship is a business wholly owned by a single individual. It is the easiest and the least expensive way to start a business and is often associated with small storekeepers, service shops, and professional people such as doctors, lawyers, or accountants. The sole proprietorship is the most common form of business organization and is relatively free from legal complexities.\nOne major disadvantage of sole proprietorship is unlimited liability since the owner and the business are regarded as the same, from a legal standpoint.\nA partnership is a legal association of two or more individuals called partners and who are co-owners of a business for profit. Like proprietorships, they are easy to form. This type of business organization is based upon a written agreement that details the various interests and right of the partners and it is advisable to get legal advice and document each person\u2019s rights and responsibilities.\nThere are three main kinds of partnerships\nA business that is owned and operated by 2 or more persons where each individual has a right as a co-owner and is liable for the business\u2019s debts. Each partner reports his share of the partnership profits or losses on his individual tax return. The partnership itself is not responsible for any tax liabilities.\nA partnership must secure a Federal Employee Identification number from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) using special forms.\nEach partner reports his share of partnership profits or losses on his individual tax return and pays the tax on those profits. The partnership itself does not pay any taxes on its tax return.\nIn a Limited Partnership, one or more partners run the business as General Partners and the remaining partners are passive investors who become limited partners and are personally liable only for the amount of their investments. They are called limited partners because they cannot be sued for more money than they have invested in the business.\nLimited Partnerships are commonly used for real-estate syndication.\nMaster Limited Partnerships are similar to Corporations trading partnership units on listed stock exchanges. They have many advantages that are similar to Corporations e.g. Limited liability, unlimited life, and transferable ownership. In addition, they have the added advantage if 90% of their income is from passive sources (e.g. rental income), then they pay no corporate taxes since the profits are paid to the stockholders who are taxed at individual rates.\nThe Corporation is the most dominant form of business organization in our society. A Corporation is a legally chartered enterprise with most legal rights of a person including the right to conduct business, own, sell and transfer property, make contracts, borrow money, sue and be sued, and pay taxes. Since the Corporation exists as a separate entity apart from an individual, it is legally responsible for its actions and debts.\nThe modern Corporation evolved in the beginning of this century when large sums of money were required to build railroads and steel mills and the like and no one individual or partnership could hope to raise. The solution was to sell shares to numerous investors (shareholders) who in turn would get a cut of the profits in exchange for their money. To protect these investors associated with such large undertakings, their liability was limited to the amount of their investment.\nSince this seemed to be such a good solution, Corporations became a vibrant part of our nation\u2019s economy. As rules and regulations evolved as to what a Corporation could or could not do, Corporations acquired most of the legal rights as those of people in that it could receive, own sell and transfer property, make contracts, borrow money, sue and be sued and pay taxes.\nThe strength of a Corporation is that its ownership and management are separate. In theory, the owners may get rid of the Managers if they vote to do so. Conversely, because the shares of the company known as stock can sold to someone else, the Company\u2019s ownership can change drastically, while the management stays the same. The Corporation\u2019s unlimited life span coupled with its ability to raise money gives it the potential for significant growth.\nA Company does not have to be large to incorporate. In fact, most corporations, like most businesses, are relatively small, and most small corporations are privately held.\nSome of the disadvantages of Corporations are that incorporated businesses suffer from higher taxes than unincorporated businesses. In addition, shareholders must pay income tax on their share of the Company\u2019s profit that they receive as dividends. This means that corporate profits are taxed twice.\nThere are several different types of Corporation based on various distinctions, the first of which is to determine if it is a public, quasi-public or Private Corporation. Federal or state governments form Public Corporations for a specific public purpose such as making student loans, building dams, running local school districts etc. Quasi-public Corporations are public utilities, local phones, water, and natural gas. Private Corporations are companies owned by individuals or other companies and their investors buy stock in the open market. This gives private corporations access to large amounts of capital.\nPublic and private corporations can be for-profit or non-profit corporations. For-profit corporations are formed to earn money for their owners. Non-profit Corporations have other goals such as those targeted by charitable, educational, or fraternal organizations. No stockholder shares in the profits or losses and they are exempt from corporate income taxes.\nProfessional Corporations are set up by businesses whose shareholders offer professional services (legal, medical, engineering, etc.) and can set up beneficial pension and insurance packages.Limited Liability Companies (LLCs as they are called) combine the advantages of S Corporations and limited partnerships, without having to abide by the restrictions of either. LLCs allow companies to pay taxes like partnerships and have the advantage of protection from liabilities beyond their investments. Moreover, LLCs can have over 35 investors or shareholders (with a minimum of 2 shareholders). Participation in management is not restricted, but its life span is limited to 30 years.\nSubchapter S Corporation, also known as an S Corporation is a cross between a partnership and a corporation. However, many states do not recognize a Subchapter S selection for state tax purposes and will tax the corporation as a regular corporation.\nThe flexibility of these corporations makes them popular with small-and medium-sized businesses. Subchapter S allows profits or losses to travel directly through the corporation to you and to the shareholders. If you earn other income during the first year and the corporation has a loss, you may deduct against the other income, possibly wiping out your tax liability completely subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Service tax regulations.\nSubchapter S corporations elect not to be taxed as corporations; instead, the shareholders of a Subchapter S corporation include their proportionate shares of the corporate profits and losses in their individual gross incomes. Subchapter S corporations are excellent devices to allow small businesses to avoid double taxation. If your company does produce a substantial profit, forming a Subchapter S Corporation would be wise, because the profits will be added to your personal income and taxed at an individual rate. These taxes may be lower than the regular corporate rate on that income.\nTo qualify under Subchapter S, the corporation must be a domestic corporation and must not be a member of an affiliated group. Some of the other restrictions include that it must not have more than 35 shareholders \u2013 all of who are either individuals or estates. Subchapter S corporations can have an unlimited amount of passive income from rents, royalties, and interest. For more information on the rules that apply to a Subchapter S corporation, contact your local IRS office.\nLimited Liability Companies (LLCs as they are called) combine the advantages of S Corporations and limited partnerships, without having to abide by the restrictions of either. LLCs allow companies to pay taxes like partnerships and have the advantage of protection from liabilities beyond their investments. Moreover, LLCs can have over 35 investors or shareholders (with a minimum of 2 shareholders). Participation in management is not restricted, but its life span is limited to 30 years.\nLabels: Accounting, Commerce Knowledge\nAkhil January 12, 2017 at 10:00 AM\nLLP Registration (Limited Liability Partnership) | LegalRaasta\nLLP registration or LLP company registration at LegalRaasta and get dual advantage of both the company and partnership.

        "raw_content": "At one point my research concerned the location of targets in three-dimensional space. For countless World War II anti-aircraft crews, finding an incoming bomber at night or under overcast conditions proved particularly tricky. A website produced by veterans of the 255th AAA Searchlight Batallion contains a pretty interesting sidebar about how listening devices were used to train both searchlights and anti-aircraft cannons at enemy aircraft.\nWhat is interesting about these pictures is that the sound device operator is literally attached to the machine -- it is as if he has a huge, external ear attached to his head. As it turns out, the \"listener\" would use the listening device to locate approaching aircraft and direct searchlight and anti-aircraft batteries towards their flightpath. Later, the system became more automated -- the listening device would \"point\" searchlights and ack-ack. And eventually, the listening device was replaced with either a short- or long-range microwave radar array, ensuring that the only human element would be the gunners who loaded ordnance or pulled lanyards on the anti-aircraft cannons.\nSuch devices are the subject of David Mindell's majestic Between Human and Machine : Feedback, Control, and Computing before Cybernetics (Johns Hopkins, 2002). The book provides a thorough pre-history of cybernetics, describing a whole slew of control systems that utilized many of the principles of feedback, oscillation, and control even before Norbert Wiener wrote Cybernetics: or the Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine (1948). Along with other World War II-era devices, such as the Anti-Aircraft Predictor and Norden Bombsight, one wonders what effect these devices had on postwar visual culture. If you think about it, these systems replace sound and vision with a fully-automated (and wholly bureaucratized) version of seeing and hearing.\nCategories: music, space, technology",

Buildings such as Centraal Beheer in Apeldoorn (1972) and many of Apeldoorn's schools, but also his publications, such as Lessons for Students in Architecture (which has been translated into many languages) have inspired generations of architects and students. In this book, Hertzberger lays down the foundations of his architectural vision. 'This book is an attempt to formulate what structuralism means in architecture, and why that matters. There are many misunderstandings about the concept of structuralism in general, and especially where architecture is concerned. There is also a renewed interest in structuralism. What I see as the real structuralism in architecture is a way of thinking that has far-reaching opportunities for the reuse of buildings, which can give a new impulse to the discussion about sustainability. In addition, the possibility of users having a greater influence has revealed the blueprint for a more democratic architecture.' - Herman Hertzberger\nAuteur(s) Herman Hertzberger\nVertaler John Kirkpatrick",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home > Children's Health > Infants (0 to 1) > Reye's syndrome\nReye's syndrome is a rare disorder that occurs after a viral infection. It results in sudden and severe decline in brain and liver function.\nReye's syndrome occurs mostly in otherwise healthy children between the ages of 4 and 12. Studies have linked the syndrome to the use of aspirin-containing medication by children who had chickenpox or a flu-like illness. Now children rarely use aspirin, and there are few cases reported each year.\nIt is not known how aspirin and certain viral infections change the way the body functions. It is known that damage occurs to the mitochondria, the tiny organs in each cell that control cell energy and breathing. Biopsy and autopsy studies of organs of people with Reye's syndrome have shown significant fatty buildup in liver and brain cells.\nReye's syndrome can be broken down into a two phases. First, a child has an upper respiratory infection, chicken pox or a flu-like illness followed by a brief recovery. Then, about 5 to 7 days after the onset of the viral infection (or 3 to 6 days after the chickenpox rash appears), vomiting suddenly begins. Either at the same time the vomiting begins or a few hours later, the child becomes stuporous, delirious and combative. In more severe cases, this may progress quickly to seizures (sudden, uncontrollable muscle spasms or convulsions), coma and death.\nA staging system for this disorder has been developed. Stages 1 to 3 represent mild to moderate illness, with increasing degrees of metabolic dysfunction and swelling in the brain. Stages 4 and 5 represent severe illness, with increased pressure inside the cranium (the part of the skull that holds the brain) and the brainstem.\nStage 1: protracted vomiting and lethargy\nStage 2: vomiting, confusion, deep lethargy, combative, increased reflexes\nStage 3: light coma, possible seizures, arms rigid & flexed, hyperventilation (quick breathing)\nStage 4: deepening coma, seizures, arms rigid and extended, pupils fixed-don't respond\nStage 5: deep coma, loss of reflexes, pupils fixed and dilated, no breathing or heartbeat\nA child can progress from stage 1 to 5 quickly, sometimes in less than 24 hours. Whether the child lives depends on which stage he or she reaches. Stage 1 has the best outcome; stage 5 has the worst. Most children with Reye's syndrome will have a mild illness without serious brain problems.\nChildren who take aspirin-containing drugs increase their risk of developing Reye's syndrome after a viral upper respiratory infection, influenza B or chickenpox.\nSome children with certain chronic diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis) must be treated long-term with drugs that contain aspirin. These children should receive the varicella and influenza vaccines to reduce their risk of developing Reye's syndrome.\nChildren should not be given aspirin-containing drugs without a doctor's approval.\nAny child with prolonged vomiting that begins after an upper respiratory infection, flu-like illness or chicken pox, especially if he or she is lethargic, confused or has seizures, may have Reye's syndrome. Blood tests and a liver biopsy can confirm Reye's syndrome.\nThere are many childhood disorders or problems with symptoms like Reye's syndrome. These include:\ninfections of the central nervous system, like meningitis (an infection of the membrane covering the brain and spinal cord) or encephalitis (an infection of the brain)\ningestion of certain drugs such as aspirin and valproic acid, liver biopsy is an important way to rule out these disorders in children under 2 years old.\nChildren who do not progress beyond stage 1 disease have a complete, rapid recovery. Those who progress to stages 4 and 5 may die or have severe neurological problems and limited mental abilities, if they live. As a rule, infants have a poorer outcome.\nReye's syndrome is not contagious. There is no risk to other people.\nAll children suspected of having Reye's syndrome should be transferred to a paediatric intensive care facility right away. This disorder often progresses rapidly and unpredictably and doctors need to be on hand.\nThere is no specific cure for Reye's syndrome. The goal of all treatment is build up the strength of the child. It is important to avoid low blood sugar, control seizures and minimise pressure in the cranium (the part of the skull that holds the brain). Children with disease that does not progress beyond stage 1 may only need intravenous fluids and observation. Those who progress beyond stage 1 may need treatment to minimise brain swelling. Comatose people will probably need machines to help them breathe, as well as intracranial pressure monitoring.\nsurvivors of Reye's syndrome should be followed closely for evidence of mental deficits, especially learning disabilities, that may not become apparent until the child is in school.\nAuthor: John Wegmann, MD",

As it is a dominant element in the Montreal landscape, it comprises of 354 identical, prefabricated concrete forms arranged in various combinations, reaching up to 12 stories.\nTogether all of them create 146 residences of varying sizes and configurations, each formed from one to eight linked concrete units. Each apartment is reached through a series of pedestrian streets and bridges, along with three vertical cores of elevators for the top floors.\nBecause it was supposed to integrate the benefits of suburban homes, namely gardens, fresh air, privacy, and multi leveled environments, with the economics and density of a modern urban apartment building, Safdie\u2019s imagination was that people would live in increasingly crowded cities around the world, and this would be the prime example how everything should be organized.\nTo this day, even though according to some people, the project has failed to prove its meaning, continues to be one of the major symbols, not of Montreal, but also it served as an inspiration for the design of other similar buildings around the world.",

        "raw_content": "Does A Freeborn Englishman Have A Right To Emigrate?\nJust before the Revolution, newly studied documents reveal, the flight of British subjects to the New World forced a panicky English government to wrestle with this question\nIn the early 1770s it still seemed likely that the struggle between Britain and her American colonies would be peacefully resolved. If it had been, history would have recorded far more clearly a remarkable development that was temporarily cut off by the Revolution. This development was a flood of immigration to British mainland North America and a sudden and immense spread of settlement in the backcountry of the coastal colonies and in the trans-Appalachian West. Both the immigration and the spread of settlement had been in motion before the last of the Anglo-French wars in America, the French and Indian War of 1754-63; but the magnitude was so much greater after the war than it had been before, the scale and range of migration and settlement so greatly enlarged, that the essential character of the peopling process seems to have been transformed, and with it some basic elements in American life.\nJust how this transformation took place is revealed in an extraordinary document, a Register of Emigrants, long known to scholars but only now subjected to exhaustive analysis. The origins of this register, arising out of the turmoil in transatlantic population movements just before the Revolution, is as dramatic a story as the information it reveals, and it involves a huge range of British and North American territory, stretching from the Outer Hebrides to the Mississippi, from London to Savannah, and from Yorkshire to Nova Scotia. The key to it all was the relation between the great land acquisitions that came to Britain as a consequence of the war\u2014the whole of Canada, Florida, and the territories as far west as the Mississippi\u2014and the surging flow of emigration to the North American colonies.\nThis relation was not, at first, perceived by most British officials, but at least one of the leading politicians understood the implications of expansion in the American West for British emigration, and his influence on these matters was destined to be powerful, at certain points decisive.\nThe Earl of Hillsborough was an Anglo-Irish landowner with properties in Ireland so extensive that they constituted a world in themselves. Ever concerned for the stability and welfare of a large agricultural laboring class in Britain, Hillsborough had seen, long before most other landlords, the dangers of mass emigration to America. In 1753 he had entered fervently into a parliamentary debate on a bill to create a national census, a debate that in large part centered on whether such an enumeration, revealing annual increases and decreases in the population, would \u201cinstruct us when to encourage and when to restrain people from going to settle in our American colonies.\u201d Multitudes of people flock to America, Hillsborough declared, \u201cfor no other reason but because they hope to live better, or to earn more money in those countries than they can do at home,\u201d and in this they are \u201cencouraged by hearing every day of poor people having in a few years got great estates there.\u201d Many eventually regret their decisions, and therefore no sensible person can deny, Hillsborough concluded, in a phrase that epitomized landlord paternalism, that \u201cit would be doing them a service to lay them under some restraint.\u201d With a census, the magistracy would know \u201cwhen we should encourage or restrain the transmigration of people from any one part of the British dominions to another, or when we should at the public expence encourage foreigners to go and settle in our colonies, which we certainly ought to do if it should appear that the number of our people is upon the decline at home.\u201d\nBut there were others who saw dangers in the census bill: the regimentation implicit in any national register; the possible revelation to Britain\u2019s enemies of its demographic strengths and weaknesses; the undue power the scheme might give to local officials; the cost of administering the census; and the likelihood that the act would be opposed \u201cin a riotous manner, and \u2026 may raise such a popular flame as will endanger the peace if not the existence of our present government.\u201d\nThe bill was defeated, but Hillsborough\u2019s commitment to restraining the exodus from his homeland grew firmer. The purpose of the colonies, he argued in the British cabinet, where he served as president of the Board of Trade, was to benefit \u201cthis kingdom.\u201d The North American colonies were expected to contribute to the benefit of the kingdom through commerce and the production of goods closely related to commerce. Therefore, the American fisheries should be enlarged, the naval-stores industry encouraged, lumber production increased, and agricultural yields suitable for consumption in the sugar islands should be improved. But as for settling the Western lands, he wrote, what sense did it make to encourage the dispersion of the population into inland communities that would not further the primary goals of empire\u2014that would in fact conflict with imperial policy? Not only would it be difficult to keep such remote settlements \u201cin just subordination to and dependence upon this kingdom,\u201d but they would inevitably draw settlers both from the productive seaboard colonies and, indirectly if not directly, from Britain and Ireland.\nIn 1774 local journals predicted that continued emigration would make the west of Scotland a grass park, \u201cthe resort of owls and dragons.\u201d\nIn 1768 Hillsborough assumed the key post of secretary of state for the colonies. In that influential oosition. he stepped up his opposition to Western settlements and to emigration from Britain, but the tide was running strongly against him. The massive array of land speculators and Western trading interests working through an intricate network of lobbyists in London was overpowering. Not only were these interests powerful in themselves, and not only were they connected with every important agency of government, but they had among their leaders Benjamin Franklin\u2014a figure of international renown, a publicist of genius, and a political manipulator of experience and skill.\nFranklin, who was in effect ambassador from America at the Court of St. James\u2019s, was the spearhead of the most ambitious plans for Western settlement and for the development of American society generally. He had long been fascinated by the remarkable growth and diversity of the American population, and he sensed the potential strength of the American economy. He knew that America\u2019s economic and demographic growth meant power\u2014all the power needed, ultimately, to assert the colonies\u2019 rights against Britain without bloodshed. The enemy, to him, both symbolically and personally, was Hillsborough.\nFranklin had disliked the Irish nobleman\u2014whom George Washington too disliked for his \u201cmalignant disposition towards Americans\u201d\u2014when he first met him in the mid-1760s, and by the early 177Os his distaste had turned to hatred. Hillsborough\u2019s character, Franklin wrote, was a compound of \u201cconceit, wrongheadedness, obstinancy and passion\u201d; he was \u201cas double and deceitful as any man I ever met with\u201d; \u201cthe most unequal in his treatment of people, the most insincere, and the most wrongheaded.\u201d Hillsborough had rejected Franklin\u2019s credentials as agent for Massachusetts \u201cwith something,\u201d Franklin wrote, \u201cbetween a smile and a sneer,\u201d and although Hillsborough had at first lavished hospitality on him, he later instructed his servants not to let Franklin inside the door. To the American, Hillsborough embodied all the corruption of an aristocratic society and the infuriating arrogance of its privileged leaders.\nBut Franklin\u2019s conflict with Hillsborough also had more immediate and less personal roots. Franklin knew of the Irishman\u2019s fear of emigration; and he knew that Hillsborough had delayed and was attempting to destroy the proposed Vandalia colony, the greatest effort of the postwar years to colonize the trans-Appalachian West. That plan of a squadron of the most powerful political and commercial operators in Britain and America to turn a twenty-million-acre grant on the Ohio into a huge inland colony fell into the maelstrom of factional fighting among Britain\u2019s leading politicians. The Privy Council finally approved the project, and Hillsborough, refusing to enforce a decision he so strongly opposed, resigned as secretary of state for the colonies in 1772.\nLord North was amazed by it all. Attempting to hold his fragile ministry together, the prime minister viewed the struggle over the petition for the Ohio lands as a \u201cfoolish business.\u201d \u201cI am myself incapable of reason,\u201d he wrote, \u201cfor upon the maturest consideration \u2026 I can not help thinking all the parties in the wrong.\u201d But North\u2019s cynical and amused bewilderment did him no credit. Hillsborough on the one side and the Vandalia speculators on the other correctly grasped the immensity of the stakes involved. By the time Hillsborough resigned, in August 1772, the problems of emigration and expansion into the American West had become dangerously inflamed, and the connection between them was beginning to be widely understood.\nBy 1773 it was commonly believed that emigration was leading to virtual depopulation in certain regions of the British Isles. Reports from Ireland were particularly ominous. An authoritative summary that circulated widely contained startling figures. It stated, first, that between July 1769 and March 1771, as much as 5,870 tons of emigrant shipping had departed from five main Irish ports, which meant, by the traditional calculation, the same number of emigrant departures. Then, in the two years that followed, the report said, the figure had tripled, to 17,400; and in the course of the next fifteen months (March 1773 through May 1774) no fewer than 20,450 emigrants had left. The monthly average, therefore, had almost quintupled in four years. And another report, of 1773, estimated the freight cost of what were believed to be 16,250 departures from northern Ireland to America in 1771 and 1772 at 60,725; it stated, too, that in the previous five or six years, Ulster had been \u201cdrained of one fourth of its trading cash and the like proportion of the manufacturing people\u201d by the emigration. Now no longer composed of the \u201cvery meanest of the people\u201d but of industrial workers, farmers, and people of \u201csome property,\u201d the removals were \u201csensibly felt in this country.\u2026 Where the evil will end, remains in the womb of time to determine.\u201d\nAt times concern in Ireland seems to have turned to panic. The \u201cincredible\u201d emigration there was said to threaten the future of Ireland\u2019s industry as well as its agriculture; in the end, it could only lead to a forced reduction of both rents and taxes. Ireland\u2019s excise revenues, the secretary to the lord lieutenant of Ireland declared, were as drastically reduced by emigration as by poverty. The Irish poor, who emigrate \u201cin swarms to America,\u201d must be allowed at least enough sustenance to be able to pay taxes: \u201cif the cow is to be milked, she must be fed.\u201d Belfast newspapers teemed with letters from recent emigrants, many of them instructive, cautionary, warning of the lies and avarice of shipmasters, the swindling advertisements of American land speculators, and of savagery on the wild Indian frontiers.\nBut frightening stories could not stay the exodus. \u201cThe spirit of emigration hath seized our people,\u201d a much reprinted letter from Dublin stated, \u201cand the several counties hitherto famous for the residence of the linen manufacturers, are now almost dwindled into dreary wastes. The land lies uncultivated; and \u2026 scarcely a vessel sails from Ireland bound to any of the plantations but what is filled with multitudes of useful artisans. \u2026 It is to be hoped that some method may be taken to put a stop to so alarming an evil; for if the numbers of inhabitants constitute the riches of a state, Heaven knows, Ireland will soon be the poorest country under the canopy of Heaven.\u201d\nThe reports from Scotland were even more alarming. In 1771 a land agent on the Isle of Skye reported such losses and such elaborate plans for further emigration that if nothing were done, major estates would become \u201cwastelands\u201d and land would go begging for buyers. Observers of the exodus from the Western Isles of Scotland noted in 1772 that in the course of the previous four years, 10,000 had been taken out of Britain by the emigrants to America, and \u201cunless some speedy remedy is fallen upon by the government and landholders,\u201d Scotland would be fatally depleted, economically as well as demographically. And more than that: \u201cthe continual emigrations from Ireland and Scotland will soon render our [American] colonies independent on the mother-country.\u201d\nBut it was Dr. Johnson, after his famous tour of the Scottish Highlands and the Western Isles with Boswell in 1773, who sounded the most eloquent alarm. He was shocked by what he termed the \u201cepidemick disease of wandering\u201d that he found in his travels. The exodus of whole neighborhoods, moving in such numbers that departure scarcely seemed an exile at all, threatened, he wrote, \u201ca total secession\u201d of the Highlanders. And the loss of even one person in such an inhospitable place as the Hebrides \u201cleaves a lasting vacuity, for nobody born in any other parts of the world will choose this country for his residence, and an island once depopulated will remain a desert as long as the present facility of travel gives every one who is discontented and unsettled the choice of his abode.\u201d\nThe tragedy of the emigrations, Johnson believed, lay not simply in the demographic and economic losses. The subtler and deeper catastrophe was cultural; and he evoked a haunting image of people scattered in the wilderness spaces of America where their culture, their spiritual and moral integument, and their familiar, time-sanctioned ways of life simply dissolved, leaving them bereft and primitive, and Britain reduced. The thousands who were leaving for the colonies, he wrote, were forever lost, \u201cfor a nation scattered in the boundless regions of America resembles rays diverging from a focus. All the rays remain, but the heat is gone. Their power consisted in their concentration: when they are dispersed, they have no effect.\u201d\nLater this profound remark would find echoes, but at the time, it was the manifest demographic and economic losses involved that created the general public fear, a concern that grew wildly as the crisis in Anglo-American political relations swelled to the point of explosion. Between 700 and 800 people were reported to have left the port of Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides on a single day in June 1773, a month in which 800 emigrants on the Isle of Skye completed arrangements for their voyage to North Carolina. A month later, 775 more were known to have left Stromness in the Orkneys.\nIn June 1774, local journals predicted that continued emigration would make the west of Scotland a grass park; in October, that the deserted kingdom would come to be the resort of owls and dragons. But the most dramatic expression came late in 1773 from a writer in Yorkshire. \u201cThe emigration of people from all parts of England,\u201d he wrote, \u201cis very amazing indeed, and if no stop is put to it England will really be drained of multitudes of mechanics of all sorts, also people of considerable property; ships are daily taken up for this purpose, and the spirit of emigration daily encreases:\u2014America that land of promise, is their cry.\u201d\nThere was no mystery about the causes of the emigration, as the lord lieutenant of Ireland wrote in the summer of 1773: rack renting, landlords\u2019 absenteeism, and the collapse of the linen industry. Much evidence was available to support this explanation. The years from 1770 to 1772 were known to have marked the climax of fifty years of increasing rents in Ireland. In 1770, for instance, the absentee Earl of Donegal demanded fees for renewing leases on his estate in County Antrim that were three or four times annual rents, an innovation that touched off a wave of rioting not only in Antrim but also in Counties Down, Londonderry, Tyrone, and Armagh. And in the midst of this sudden escalation of rents\u2014by which, it was said, \u201cthe very marrow is screwed out of our bones, and our lives are even become so burdensome to us \u2026 that we do not care whether we live or die\u201d\u2014the linen industry collapsed as a result of a sudden drop in foreign demand. The cost of bread rose to famine levels, and the laboring population suffered severely.\nAccounts from Scotland, and to a lesser extent from Yorkshire and elsewhere in northern England, stressed many of the same causes of emigration. But there were special conditions in Scotland that challenged the analytical powers of some of the keenest minds in Britain.\nDr. Johnson, contemplating deserted lands on the Isle of Skye, saw greed everywhere: he cursed the avarice both of the landlords and of the emigration agents who enticed away the desperate Highlanders by false representations of America as the \u201cfortunate islands,\u201d luring them into a life of endless toil in the wilderness. But the ultimate cause of the threatening depopulation, he believed, lay in the destruction of the ancient structure of the clans, the social cohesion that had united lairds and the meanest cottagers in quasi-feudal relationships that had been systematically destroyed by the punitive laws that had followed the Scottish rebellion of 1745. These laws abolished private jurisdictions, exiled the rebellious Highland chiefs who had survived the slaughter, handed over their estates to a commission of modernizing Lowland gentry, banned the wearing of the traditional dress, and outlawed all weapons in private hands. The laws not only stripped the chiefs of their public functions but destroyed the social organization of the old clan system. This was the main problem, Johnson said; and somehow it had to be solved\u2014somehow the lost social cohesion had to be re-stored if the exodus was to be contained.\nThe most elaborate analysis of the roots and cost of the Highland emigration was that of Henry Dundas, the lord advocate of Scotland, member of Parliament, and at age thirty-three well on his way to becoming the most powerful political figure in Scotland and for some years in England as well. Dundas, a rigorous, unbending imperialist in the Anglo-American political crisis, agreed that a \u201cprecipitant and injudicious rise of rents\u201d was a cause of emigration, but only in certain parts of Scotland, not everywhere. The \u201cuniversality of the disease\u201d affecting areas where rents had not been raised required a deeper explanation. Like Dr. Johnson, Dundas believed the origins lay in the legislation that followed the rebellion of 1745, but he traced a different path from cause to effect. In the old days, the self-respect of the Highland chieftains had lain not in the monetary rents they produced but in \u201cwhat I call a rent in men.\u201d \u201cIdle men\u201d on these estates were considered in the years before the rebellion to be valuable, for \u201cin proportion as his clan was numerous and his estate covered with inhabitants, [the chieftain] felt himself great and respectable.\u201d\nThis close binding of chieftain and de- pendent, Dundas believed, was particularly important because the Highlands had always had a surplus population. When the new legislation stripped the chieftains of their autonomous authority \u2014their \u201cinterest and connection\u201d\u2014and hence their prestige, they lost the veneration and respect of their dependents, whose spirits in turn became covered with \u201cgloom and damp.\u201d More important, the chieftains, no longer motivated to \u201chave their estates covered with inhabitants\u201d who were to serve as retainers and personal troops, had begun to think of their dependents simply as tenants and of themselves as landlords rather than as chiefs, and they had turned to making the most of the commercial value of their lands. Thus mutual respect and responsibility had been destroyed, and there had developed on the one hand profiteering in rents and, on the other, a mass exodus from the land.\nWhatever the explanation offered, by 1773 almost everyone who commented on the rising tide of emigration saw it as a severe problem that required drastic solutions. Some recommended reduction of rents and radical improvements in the living conditions of the tenants. Dr. Johnson urged the repeal of the punitive laws passed after the 1745 Rebellion. If wearing native costume would \u201cdisincline [the Scots] from coalescing with the Pennsylvanians or people of Connecticut,\u201d he wrote, let them keep their native dress. If retaining arms would keep them on their ancient lands, let them have arms as before. If rents were too high, force landlords to lower them and compensate them for their loss by pensions. One way or another the cohesion of the old society must be recovered and the depopulation stopped.\nDundas was less impatient and a better politician. By decree of the government, he said, the Highland chiefs should be returned to their estates, restored to something like their \u201ctraditional influence,\u201d and reinvolved with the lives of their clansmen. Far from being a military threat, these leaders could provide welcome military strength for the entire nation.\nOne particularly shrewd scheme was to limit the number of passengers emigrant vessels might carry and require the ships to bring more than adequate provisions and adequate crews, and also \u201ca surgeon \u2026 [for each] 20 passengers or upwards.\u201d All of this would raise the cost of passage so high \u201cas to put it wholly out of the power of the greatest part of such people as have hitherto emigrated, to depart.\u201d\nAnother involved a triple prohibition: a Privy Council resolution to grant no more land in North America for several years; explicit Crown \u201cdissapprobation of these emigrations\u201d coupled with promises of royal favor for those \u201cwho shall stay at home\u201d; and imprisonment for any shipmaster or merchant who transported a British subject to the colonies without a special license. Some officials had no hesitation in recommending that emigration should simply be stopped \u201cby express law.\u201d No doubt, selfish interests will \u201ccry out that the liberty of the subject is invaded when we can no longer remove from one part of the British dominions to another, & the cruelty of stopping the flight of oppressed tennants from their avaricious landlords will afford an ample field for declamation.\u201d But a sufficient reply \u201cto all this noise\u201d is simply the maxim that the interest of the few must give way to the good of the whole, especially when the government is prepared to \u201cset every engine at work\u201d to render those who are discontented \u201cricher & happier than ever.\u201d\nBut such confident statements were rare and flew in the face of considered opinion. There was in fact no agreement on whether the government could legally constrain the movements of British subjects from one British territory to another, or whether it should do so. \u201cPersonal liberty,\u201d an Edinburgh essayist observed, \u201cand the power of loco-motion, is the undoubted privilege and birthright of every individual. \u2026 It is not at all clear that the Parliament has a right to hinder the inhabitants of Great Britain from leaving it when they think proper.\u201d Nor could such a law be enforced. The whole idea, the writer concluded, was \u201cimpossible and absurd.\u201d To the extent that it succeeded, it would \u201cmake the nation a prison, & the whole members of it prisoners, though not yet guilty of any crime.\u201d Wrote another, \u201cTo hinder freeborn subjects, who are really starving, to go wheresoever they can find food & clothes! This would be contrary to all laws, human & divine; but I cannot think it will ever be arrived at by a British parliament.\u201d\n\u201cTo hinder freeborn subjects, who are really starving, to go wheresoever they can find food & clothes,\u201d wrote an Englishman, is \u201ccontrary to all laws, human & divine.738217;\nNevertheless, the pressure on the government to restrain emigration grew stronger in the years just before the American rebellion. In mid-1773, a year that marked the climax of emigration from the British Isles, the leading officers of state at last turned seriously to the possibility of devising legislation or taking other action that would deal directly with the problem.\nThe immediate instigation came from Scotland, and in particular from the lord justice clerk, Thomas Miller. A member of Parliament, well known and widely respected as a lawyer and jurist in both Scotland and England, Miller had supported the Stamp Act and had opposed its repeal out of an apprehension of the growing independence of the colonies and concern for the magnetism they were exerting on the home islands. This fear grew over the years and climaxed in October 1773 when he presided over the conspiracy trial of twelve journeymen weavers in Paisley. Not only had these workers struck for higher wages and forcefully prevented their employers from using scab labor, but they had rallied thousands of other weavers to their banner and with them \u201cthreatened to goe off in a body to America\u201d if their cause was not vindicated. This was precisely the sort of thing Miller most feared, and he reported the affair in great detail to the secretary of state for the Northern Department (effectively the home secretary), the Earl of Suffolk.\nMiller handled the strikers delicately, and the particular crisis had passed, he said, but the problem of emigration remained extremely serious: \u201cI pray God, for the sake of this countrey, that such ideas of migration to America may not become epidemical.\u2026\u201d He had also discovered, he said, that the traditional commutation of criminal sentences to \u201ctransportation\u201d to the colonies was no longer either a deterrent or a meaningful reprisal: \u201cin this part of the Kingdom transportation to America begins to lose every characteristick of punishment.\u201d\nImmediately thereafter, Miller attended a meeting of the Ayrshire county magistracy, and it was his response to what he learned there that moved the British government to action. When the regular business of the meeting was done, Miller reported, Sir Adam Fergusson\u2014a prominent Ayrshire landlord and politician\u2014\u201ctook notice of the dangerous situation this country was in from the various arts used to impose upon our people and entice them to America,\u201d and he then produced a broadside advertising in quite specific terms for settlers for St. John\u2019s (now Prince Edward) Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The advertisement was the work of a notorious land promoter, the lieutenant governor of St. John\u2019s, Thomas Desbrisay. This frenetic Irishman had been attempting to populate his property on the island since 1770, but his elaborate recruitment efforts, which included three published notices each month from February to May 1772, had produced very little response. By the end of 1772 he had extended his range to western Scotland, distributing enticing ads in Ayrshire, Argyllshire, and the counties to the north. It took no eloquence on Fergusson\u2019s part to detonate the lord justice clerk\u2019s already overheated concern. Miller immediately sent Lord Suffolk an account of the meeting together with a copy of Desbrisay\u2019s offending advertisement. Something had to be done, specifically about Desbrisay and generally about what another concerned Scot called \u201cthe America madness\u201d sweeping the land. Surely the problem was ripe for Parliamentary action.\nSuffolk had long been plagued with such warnings and requests, but this time he, and through him the British government, responded actively. He instructed Miller to find out what effect Desbrisay\u2019s broadside had had in Scotland\u2014that is, \u201cwhat number of people have emigrated from Scotland since the publication of it.\u201d Despite petitions first to Scottish customs officials and then to the local clergy, Miller could only come up with incomplete figures that he felt greatly underestimated the seriousness of the situation. The spirit of emigration, he wrote Suffolk, was no longer simply a Highland problem, nor was it only a lower-class phenomenon. It had spread to the Lowlands and to \u201csome of the better sort of farmers & mechanicks who are in good circumstances & can live very comfortably at home.\u201d Moreover, he had discovered that land-purchasing associations had been organized. If that practice, which enabled whole communities to move with all their personal associations undisturbed, became popular among affluent Scots, \u201cit may in time as effectually depopulate this country as the mines of Peru & Mexico have depopulated the Kingdom of Spain.\u201d\nBut the ultimate danger went beyond even this. The present cause of emigration, he believed, was chiefly dire want; and that, he felt, would sooner or later fade as conditions improved. But if, by the time that happened, a new motivation had become common, namely, the hope simply \u201cof attaining a better situation\u201d in America than could be had in Scotland, emigration would become entirely uncontrollable. By then Miller\u2019s efforts had borne more fruit, of various kinds, than he realized. Word that troops had been requested to stop emigration reached the newspapers and was denounced as the work of \u201chalf [-baked] politicians\u201d and as \u201csilly beyond measure.\u201d Furthermore, the Highland clergy had become thoroughly alarmed, \u201cimagining there was some design to make them tools of oppression and tyranny.\u201d It was understood that for that reason, among others, they were systematically underreporting the number of emigrants.\nAt the same time that Suffolk had set Miller to collecting data, he had sent a copy of the lord justice clerk\u2019s letter, enclosing Desbrisay\u2019s advertisement, to the secretary of state for the colonies, Lord Dartmouth, stating it as the king\u2019s view that the emigrations referred to were \u201cvery detrimental to the general good of the state, and that every proper check, within the power of the government, should be given to plans which tend so fatally to depopulate a considerable part of his kingdom.\u201d Dartmouth\u2019s undersecretary, John Pownall, a canny veteran of the bureaucratic wars, opened Suffolk\u2019s letter and read it with astonishment. One secretary of state, he advised Dartmouth within hours of receiving the letter, is hardly in a position to tell another what the king thinks and to state peremptorily what the other should do. \u201cI am at a loss to guess what Lord Suffolk expects from us & what he means by laying such a business at our door.\u201d\nAmong emigrant families, few were indentured servants. Often by liquidating all their possessions, they had raised enough money, just enough, to retain their freedom.\nPownall wasted no time in recriminations. Three days after receiving Suffolk\u2019s stiff note, he sent Desbrisay a blistering letter reminding him that he had already been warned against illegal recruitment and telling him that the landlords in northern Britain \u201cwhose estates have suffered extremely by the emigration of their tenants\u201d had complained. He ordered him, in the name of the king, to suppress his advertisements instantly. Desbrisay was thoroughly squelched. He withdrew the ads and swore to Pownall that he \u201cnever took any tenant out of the north of Ireland without first asking the consent of either the proprietor or agent of lands he lived upon \u2026\u201d\nPownall\u2019s chief concern, however, was not to rein in the hustling and annoying Irishman, but rather to develop a general and effective policy for restraining emigration. To that end, he sent to Dart-mouth for his approval a document that finally set the heavy wheels of the national government in motion.\nThe Board of Trade, Pownall wrote in this draft recommendation to the king, called the emigration problem to the crown\u2019s attention but confessed itself unable to recommend any remedy \u201cwithout knowing with precision the actual extent of the emigration complained of and what parts of Your Majesty\u2019s kingdom are principally affected.\u201d In order to gain that information, \u201cwe most humbly submit to Your Majesty whether it might not be advisable that the officers of Your Majesty\u2019s customs in the several ports of your said kingdoms should receive directions to take account of all persons that shall embark as passengers on any ships which may clear out from the said ports and to transmit to His Majesty to transmit to us monthly, or oftener, a list of all such persons specifying their names, ages, sex, and profession, as far as the same can be ascertained.\u201d\nBy the end of November 1773, word had gone out that the government was about to take action. But it soon became clear that Parliament would delay consideration of bills curbing emigration until Pownall\u2019s first step, the collection of statistics on who was leaving, whence and why, was completed. Even that much, it soon developed, would be difficult to accomplish.\nThe treasury administered the customs offices where the emigrants would be questioned, and so it fell to the Treasury Department to establish the specific terms of the survey. Whoever it was in the Treasury who gave the questionnaire its final form had a keen sense of what might be learned from such a survey as well as an exaggerated respect for the efficiency of the British customs administration. On December 9, 1773, Britain\u2019s Lords of the Treasury ordered the Boards of Customs Commissioners in London and Edinburgh to instruct their officials in the various ports \u201cto use every proper means in their power\u201d to record not only the name of every person leaving the kingdom but also his or her \u201cage, quality, occupation, employment & former residence,\u201d and also \u201cwhat port or place they propose to go, and on what account, and for what purposes they leave this country, together with such other remarks and informaon as they may be able to obtain.\u201d\nIn the months that followed, customs officials in ports scattered from Devonshire to northern Scotland and from Dover to the Outer Hebrides interviewed hundreds, then thousands, of emigrants as they boarded ship; gathered passenger information from ship captains and port officials; and sent in to the customs headquarters sheet after sheet of detailed compilations. In the back rooms of the customs headquarters in London and Edinburgh, clerks gathered the sheets, collated the information from England, and forwarded all the material to the Treasury.\nAt first there was much confusion. The inspectors in Wigtown, in southern Scotland, were politely incredulous of the whole project: did the honorable Board of Customs Commissioners really mean that the ports should \u201ctake such a minute account of every individual person as [their] letter would seem to imply,\u201d or did they, more reasonably, want only summaries? Answers were given: yes, the board meant precisely what its letter implied, \u201ca minute account of every individual person.\u201d\nThe result is a documentary collection that illuminates as does no other source, literary or statistical, the process by which British North America was peopled in the years before the split with England, and that characterizes a major segment of the immigrant population in pre-Revolutionary America. Here, in the sheets received at the Treasury Office\u2014which together compose what may be called the Register of Emigrants, 1773\u201376, well preserved in four large volumes of Treasury papers\u2014are the answers to the questions that so agitated the Hillsboroughs, Millers, and Suffolks: who were the people who were leaving Britain\u2014what ages, which sex, what occupations were represented and in what proportions? Where did they come from, why did they leave, from what strata of society were they drawn? How did they travel, where were they going?\nThe answers to these questions, based on a computer analysis of these records, fill a large volume, Voyagers to the West, to be published later this year, the 210th anniversary of the register\u2019s last entry. Some of the results are predictable. Of the 9,364 permanent emigrants to the North American colonies registered during these months, the overwhelming number were young: almost half were under twenty-five, 30 percent between the ages of twenty and twenty-four. Three out of four were male. Slightly less than half (48 percent) were indentured servants and redemptioners. Almost a third traveled in family groups, and very few of the families listed included servants of any kind. Just under one-third came from London and the six Home Counties of southeastern England; onequarter of the total came from greater London itself. On the other hand, 41 percent of the entire group came from Scotland, and over a third of the Scots came from the Highlands and the northern and western islands.\nThese are gross figures for the recorded migration as a whole\u2014informative, but not very surprising\u2014and difficult to fit together into a meaningful pattern. The more significant figures are masked by these overall totals and emerge only from successive stages of computer analysis. In the end, the picture as a whole proves to be highly differentiated. This was no singular migration from the British Isles to North America; there were two migrations\u2014separate, quite distinctive, and in motion at the same time. One consisted of emigrants who traveled outward to America from the main population center of Britain in the Thames valley; the other group was drawn from the northern British provinces. At the extremities\u2014London on the one hand, Yorkshire and the Scottish Highlands on the other \u2014there were two patterns, which may be designated metropolitan on the one hand and provincial on the other. And these differences profoundly shaped the way these emigrants would enter into American life and the impact they would have in the new land.\nThe metropolitan pattern, which characterizes the central migration from the Thames valley, is typified by a young man, in his early twenties, acting individually. He is not, characteristically, drawn from among London\u2019s most desperate, destitute slum dwellers; nor is he from the more stable or substantial segments of the population. He is, rather, an impecunious young artisan or craftsman who has served all or some part of his apprenticeship, or in a less formal way, learned something of a trade, found employment irregular or nonexistent, and, still unmarried and without family encumbrances, has decided to head out to the colonies alone. In doing so, whether to preserve a small modicum of savings for settlement in the new land or out of sheer necessity, he has assumed a burden of debt for his transportation, to be paid off by four years of bonded labor. There are few children in this metropolitan migration, few women, and few families. The families that can be found are of the simplest possible structure\u2014almost all of them only husband and wife or siblings traveling together.\nSuch is the \u201cideal type\u201d of the metropolitan emigrant. At the other extreme, there is a different pattern altogether. In this provincial pattern the characteristic unit is not an isolated male worker in his early twenties, a bondsman for several years of unlimited servitude. It is not even a person. It is, rather, a family, and a family that contains not only mature women but also small children, including a remarkable number of young girls. There are 7 males for every female in the metropolitan migration, but only 1.6 males for every female in the provincial migration. The size of these families emigrating from northern England and from Scotland is surprising. The average was almost as large as the average English family in the nonemigrating population, and hence it would appear that these family units were moving essentially intact. Consistent with this fact is the economic condition of these migrating families. Few of these family members were indentured servants; in one way or another\u2014often by liquidating all their possessions, real and personalthey had raised enough money, often just enough, to retain their freedom.\nThe provincial emigration was predominantly the transfer of farming families that were still in the process of growth, hence likely to contribute quickly to the increase of the American population. And they would contribute quickly, too, to the growth of the American economy, not only by their con- structive enterprise but by the demand they created, the markets they enlarged, as consumers. Above all, they were eager from the start to take advantage of opportunities created by the opening up of new land in America. They were likely to seek out new settlements and to move quickly into the most attractive areas available in the backcountry. They, and not the majority of the emigrants\u2014isolated artisans bound to serve any master who could buy their services from the ship captain or merchant who owned them\u2014were destined to be the frontiersmen.\nSuch, in briefest form, is what the British government would have discovered if it had carefully analyzed the emigration data its customs officials had so laboriously collected. Would it have been the basis for Parliamentary regulation of emigration? Would it have calmed or further excited the fears of the time? There is no way of knowing. The turmoil of the Revolution completely buried the problem, which resurfaced for the British only once, when, after the end of the War for Independence, the Loyalist Claims Commissioners considered the Loyalists\u2019 applications for repayment for the losses they had suffered during the war. The board systematically struck down those who were known to have promoted or assisted in the migration of the pre-Revolutionary years. These promoters were even suspected, to some degree, of treason, for whether they had intended to or not, they had in fact helped man a disastrous civil insurrection and so assisted in the dismemberment of the Empire. Why should they be rewarded for that?\nEventually the old problem was forgotten. But for historians, the inquiry set in motion in December 1773 is a priceless resource that helps immeasurably in understanding who the American people were in these early years, how they were recruited, and how they helped form the fabric of American life.",

        "raw_content": "The Inland Printer\nwas the first magazine in America to change its cover for every issue. And these covers may still be the best graphic art magazine has ever produced.\nPatricia Frantz Kery\nOne of the most influential magazines in America before the turn of the century was The Inland Printer , one hundred years old this year and now known as The American Printer and Lithographer . Although primarily a journal for the trade, The Inland Printer displayed a powerful artistic imagination as it reported the printing industry\u2019s coming of age. The magazine was the focal point of the first great period of American illustration, from 1890 to 1940, promoting the new ideas and! new technology that were influencing all the popular arts. Among the inventions perfected in those years were the high-speed rotary press, the linotype machine, and automatic inking; more important foils popular culture than these technological breakthroughs was the decision, made by The Inland Printer in 1894, to become the first American| magazine to change its cover with every issue\u2014a commonplace today but a revolutionary move then.\nThe first of the great Inland Printer artists was Will Bradley: it was he who convinced the editors to soar beyond the standardized cover. Influenced by the art of Aubrey Beardsley and William Morris, Bradley\u2019s early covers and advertising illustrations mark the beginnings of art nouveau in American graphic design. Today his Inland Printer covers sell to collectors for seventy-five dollars and more.\nJ. C. Leyendecker, creator of the Arrow Collar man, was probably the most famous of the artists whose work appeared on and in The Inland Printer . Such was his fame, in fact, that the young Norman Rockwell would stand on a corner to watch the great man being chauffered to work. From his student days in Paris, Leyendecker also brought art nouveau to the covers of the magazine, although he abandoned this style later in his work for The Saturday Evening Post .\nThe contents of The Inland Printer were produced with the same care as the cover. What began in 1883 as a twenty-four-page publication in Chicago became, by 1900, a two-hundred-page monthly packed with the latest news from the technological front and the art-world gossip of two continents. Printers, editors, and artists sent their material for review; in turn, the face and visual contents of American magazines were transformed by The Inland Printer \u2019s recommendations and example.\nThe American Printer and Lithographer is still published in Chicago. It continues to keep its readers informed of the latest improvements in the craft, but the graphics are now merely functional. In the covers reproduced here, we celebrate the glories of its past.",

This is very important because if you are starting an organization, especially in a multilevel, firstly it is accurate that you define a path to follow, to publicize your vision to serve as a guide to your followers, transform into a source of inspiration and a generator of excitement. It is essential to have written your plans to three years, five years and how you look past that period of time. It is not one minor detail, when detailed it in writing are sealing a commitment with yourself, with your future. It all starts with the thoughts, the way as you think will determine your future results. If you have defined your vision, definitely you will know where you go. There is no doubt that we become what we think, no matter the time when you achieve it, you can be short, medium or long term; but it always depends on oneself. When a person has defined its vision, you already have 50% of the covered path.\nThis is quite understandable if we think about what would happen if us adentraramos to an ocean without direction, cartography adequate, compass, instrumental, etc.;It would be very unlikely that we days to some destination and highly likely that we left adrift.

The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority redeveloped the property in conjunction with NAI Harmon Group. The new facility, adjacent to Interstate 75, is optimally located to support automakers throughout the geographic region.\nDana plans to expand a recently constructed 100,000 square foot facility on the property to nearly 300,000 square feet. Over the next few years, the company plans to invest approximately $70 million and employ more than 300 associates by 2020.\n\"Dana has remained committed to metropolitan Toledo, its home for nearly 90 years. In 2015, we strengthened our commitment to the area by consolidating numerous satellite offices in the region into our expanded World Headquarters and Technology Center in Maumee,\" said James Kamsickas, Dana President/CEO. \"The investment in this new manufacturing facility is another substantial example of Dana's commitment to the city and our community. It is an honor for Dana to return manufacturing to the same historic site where Toledo's automotive industry began more than 100 years ago.\"\n\"On behalf of Dana, I would like to thank our customers for their trust and support as we grow our company and launch this new facility,\" said Bob Pyle, President, Dana Light Vehicle Driveline Technologies. \"Our Toledo facility will integrate Dana's best global manufacturing practices and advanced operating systems. The plant's products, which will feature Dana's latest axle technologies \u2013 along with its close proximity to our customers and our World Headquarters and Maumee Technology Center \u2013 will benefit our customers, employees, and shareholders.\"\nIn addition to its longstanding partnership with the Jeep brand, the expanded Toledo facility will support axle assembly for another global automaker. Beginning in late 2017, Dana plans to assemble enhanced versions of its industry-recognized Dana 30\u2122 and Dana 44\u2122 axles, which will deliver increased power density and performance in a smaller package. Future axle programs and assembly lines are also possible.\nTo support this investment, Dana received financial and other assistance from JobsOhio and the State of Ohio, the Regional Growth Partnership, Lucas County, the City of Toledo, the Port Authority, and First Energy. Dana's decision to locate the new facility in Toledo is subject to the formal approvals of financial incentives by state and local entities, which are expected later this month.",

        "raw_content": "Parenting Concerns Affect Emotional Well-Being in Mothers With Advanced Cancer\nMothers with metastatic cancer had, on average, higher depression and anxiety scores than did the general population in the United States. Their emotional well-being scores also were lower than for all adults with cancer.\nResearchers determined a mother\u2019s emotional well-being was significantly linked with whether she had communicated with her children about her illness and her concerns about how her illness will financially impact her children.\nParenting concerns made up 39% of the difference in the quality-of-life scores\u2014almost the same impact on their quality-of-life score as the degree to which their illness was affecting their ability to carry out day-to-day tasks.\nParenting concerns contributed significantly to the psychological distress of mothers with late-stage cancer, according to a study by University of North Carolina (UNC) Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers published by Park et al in the journal Cancer.\nCancer is the leading cause of disease-specific death for parenting-age women in the United States, and women with incurable cancer who have children can have increased rates of depression and anxiety. To better understand how parenting concerns might relate to the quality of life for this group, UNC Lineberger researchers surveyed 224 mothers with advanced cancer. They found that parenting concerns were significantly associated with lower quality of life\u2014almost as much as declines in day-to-day physical functioning. The findings point to a need for greater support for mothers with metastatic cancer, the researchers said.\n\u201cAs part of cancer care, we ask about patients\u2019 functional status and how they are responding to treatment, but we are not systematically asking how cancer impacts our patients as parents. Yet we know being a parent is incredibly important to their identity and well-being,\u201d said Eliza M. Park, MD, Assistant Professor in the UNC School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry and Department of Medicine. \u201cAmong women with metastatic cancer, their health-related quality of life is powerfully interlinked with their parenting concerns about the impact of their illness on their minor children. It appears to equally contribute to someone\u2019s assessment of their quality of life as some of the clinical variables we routinely ask about.\u201d\nIn this study, Dr. Park and her colleagues conducted an online survey of women who had stage IV solid tumor cancer and at least one child under 18 years old. They found mothers with metastatic cancer had, on average, higher depression and anxiety scores than did the general population in the United States. Their emotional well-being scores also were lower than for all adults with cancer.\nThe researchers determined a mother\u2019s emotional well-being was significantly linked with whether she had communicated with her children about her illness and her concerns about how her illness will financially impact her children.\nWhen they took into account other factors that may contribute to a mother\u2019s lower quality of life, Dr. Park and her colleagues found parenting concerns made up 39% of the difference in the quality-of-life scores. This was almost the same impact on their quality-of-life score as the degree to which their illness was affecting their ability to carry out day-to-day tasks.\n\u201cWe found that parenting-related factors contributed to the amount of variation you see in quality of life almost [as much] as something like functional status,\u201d Dr. Park said. Based on these findings, Dr. Park and her colleagues are planning to investigate ways to address some of the concerns patients with children have and to better support the parents.\n\u201cWe\u2019re working to develop interventions for parents with advanced cancer or another serious illness to help them and their families adjust to the changes that occur with the diagnosis,\u201d Dr. Park said. \u201cPart of the strategy may be helping them to learn how to communicate effectively with their other family members as well as their children, identifying future care planning needs if their illness gets worse, and providing education about how families can cope and promote resilience in their children.\u201d",

A high percentage of young adults and teenagers check one or more (but typically one) of their social networking sites more than once a day. Sites that see repeated use are well-suited for applications on cell phones. Any brand or company thinking about high levels of engagement with their customers should probably be considering how applications fit into their mix within their mobile strategy.\nFierceMobile Content had this post today:\nSocial networking giant MySpace reports its mobile usage increased roughly 450 percent in 2008, with users now generating 7 billion mobile page views per month. Speaking here at the Nokia Developer Summit 2009 in Monte Carlo, MySpace vice president and general manager of mobile operations John Faith added that in the last year, mobile traffic increased from 10 percent of all MySpace traffic to more than 35 percent\u2013moreover, the company anticipates that sometime within the next few years, 50 percent of all users will access MySpace via mobile.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve seen greater user engagement in MySpace mobile applications than we have on the mobile web,\u201d Faith said. \u201cSmartphones are creating a culture of expectations among users.\u201d In November 2008, MySpace announced its integrated mobile app customized for Research In Motion\u2019s BlackBerry smartphones generated more than 400,000 downloads in its first seven days of release, an all-time high for both MySpace and RIM in terms of first-week downloads.\nAccording to Faith, 32 percent of MySpace\u2019s mobile page views derive from users accessing profiles\u201319 percent originate from users browsing photos, while another 19 percent are devoted to reading messages. By contrast, friend requests make up just 1 percent of mobile views.\nMaking Money on iPhone Applications (Stanza)\nOk, I admit that I used the word \u201ciPhone\u201d in the title to seek attention, but it is true. My first experiences with Stanza were on my iPhone. A friend suggested that I download the application. Free download. I often asked, \u201cwhat is the business model?\u201d Selling the technology is one possibility. The creators of Stanza have made a lot of money on an iPhone application. See release.\nMore seriously, it is an interesting play for Amazon. Heavy users of a service/function on a portable device \u2013 whether a PND, MP3 player, etc. \u2013 lean towards buying dedicated devices. I have a Kindle, and I love it. I have the Kindle application on my iPhone, but I don\u2019t use it. Casual users of these services will buy and use devices that are multi-purpose. Moreover, users don\u2019t want to worry about file formats. Lexcycle fills in some of these gaps.\nContent players need distribution, content strategies and business models that span the range of portable devices. Adoption outside of laptops and cell phones is limited today, but devices such as portable media players, netbooks, etc. are filling in the space in-between.\nMobile strategies extend beyond a cell phone presence \u2013 more so for media companies today than those in other industries.\nOne Billion Application Downloads\nLast week, the number of downloads to Apple\u2019s iPhones and iPod Touches finally topped one billion. That is an impressive number coming from approximately 30 million devices in the market.\nThe word \u201ciPhone\u201d in the title of any newspaper article or otherwise turns heads and sells. I would offer, however, that the impact of the iPhone and its potential have been under-hyped. I believe that the impact on the industry is comparable to that of SMS. May not seem that way today, but it will in the course of time.\nHere is a partial list of what it has accomplished so far. Apple has:\n- Taught carriers that they don\u2019t need to own the end customer experience to profit from those customers.\n- Demonstrated that consumers will pay for an experience that is unique and extraordinary.\n- Shown carriers that they do well serving the average customer, but aren\u2019t equipped to serve each segment best.\n- Taught consumers how to download applications to their cell phones.\n- Taught consumers that their cell phones could do more than voice calls or text messaging\n- Created a platform and a business model that is truly compelling to developers.\n- Taught US consumers what \u201c3G\u201d is and accelerated demand for it.\n- Weren\u2019t afraid to leverage their existing 60+ million billing relationships\n- Shown us we don\u2019t need \u201copen\u201d for a great consumer experience\n- Have ever consumer brand in the country thinking they need an iPhone application\nI look forward to 3.0 and its possibilities. I don\u2019t think enough is being said about what Apple has achieved.\nTAGS: Tags: Mobile Strategy\nMobile is Changing the Lives of Your Customers\nThink back to mid-nineties. How many of you had cell phones? They were more of a luxury item for most of us. Towards the end of the nineties they became a nice-to-have. Now, if you walk out the door and you don\u2019t have your phone, you go back inside and get it.\nIn the mean time, cell phones have become pervasive in regions around the world where no one thought the economics would make sense. When I visited western Kenya in 1996, I met some Masai warriors \u2013 a group of nomads living much as they did 200 years ago. They have herds of cows and goats. They live in huts with no running water or electricity.\nWhen I returned 10 years later in 2006 (and took this photo), they were still living in huts without running water or electricity. However, they all had cell phones and were using them to make phone calls, send text messages, etc.\nCell phones are no longer used simply for talking or texting in Africa let alone in the US, Asia and Europe where we have access to high speed wireless networks and affordable data plans. Cell phones are changing the lives of your customers. You need a strategy to engage with them on their cell phones.",

        "title": "AVERAGE OPPOSITION.COM: Player Comparison: Rio Ferdinand vs John Terry",
        "raw_content": "Up next in the World Famous Player Comparison series is a slightly controversial one. England defenders and definitely not best friends, Rio Ferdinand and John Terry. Two of the best defenders in Premier League history, this is the first comparison of defenders, and could be the last depending on feedback\u2026.\nGiven the recent disharmony between Terry and the Ferdinands, this may seem a bit on the reactive side, but I\u2019ve had this request on more than one occasion (twice) so thought I\u2019d give it a go. Both are entering the twilight of their careers (Rio has just turned is 34, JT, approaching 32), both have been League winners and Champions League winners. Both have played at one of the biggest clubs in the world for 10 years or more, and for a long time, the two were playing alongside eachother at the heart of the England defence. With that in mind, and the added spice of club and personality clashes/rivalries, they\u2019re ideal candidates to compare.\nUsually I\u2019m comparing goals and assists, but in this instance the focus is all about the dirty business of stopping them. So when looking at the range and average opponent, it\u2019ll be by goals conceded and clean sheets. The primary focus will be on Premier League stats, but there will be a look at international and cup games. The calculations can be found in the rules and workings page on the top menu, but simply enough, it\u2019s a look at their stats but by the level of opposition.\nThe time period is from when Ferdinand signed for Manchester United at the start of the 2002-03 season, up until the end of 2011-12 \u2013 10 full seasons. In that time, Terry has played 311 Premier League games to Ferdinand\u2019s 269.\nDespite being born and bred in South London, Rio Ferdinand began his Football career in the prestigious West Ham academy. Initially a central midfielder, Rio was taught the art of defending under the tutelage of Tony Carr, and was hailed as the heir to Bobby Moore\u2019s throne for club and country. With his ability on the ball, Ferdinand also played for the West Ham first team in central midfield, wing back and even up front \u2013 scoring his first senior goal in just his second substitute appearance, after his debut aged just 17. Seen as talented but unfocused, eyebrows were raised when Leeds United paid \u00a318m for the young defender in November 2000 \u2013 both a British Record transfer and also the World Record price for a defender. But Ferdinand excelled under fellow Centre Back David O\u2019Leary and helped a young Leeds team to the Semi Final of the Champions League later that season. Another good season later, and Ferdinand was starting for England in the 2002 World Cup, as they got to the Quarter Finals. His displays for both Leeds and England were enough for Sir Alex Ferguson to pay over \u00a330m \u2013 making him once again the most expensive British footballer, and regaining the title of World\u2019s most expensive defender from Lilian Thuram.\nJohn Terry on the other hand, has been a one club man. Despite also training with West Ham as a youngster, the Barking born defender signed for Chelsea at the age of 14 after playing for famous boys club Senrab, along with the likes of Bobby Zamora, Ledley King and JLloyd Samuel. During his early years around the Chelsea first team squad, he saw his chances limited due to Marcel Desailly and Frank Le Boeuf, and subsequently found himself at Nottingham Forest on a short term loan to get first team experience under David Platt. Despite making his Chelsea debut in the 1998-99 season, Terry didn\u2019t become a first team regular until the 2000-01 season, playing 22 league games as Chelsea finished in 6th place. The following season, Terry further cemented his place as a first team regular, playing in 33 of the 38 league games, as Chelsea once again finished in 6th place. Seen as a typical British defender, Terry made a reputation for putting his body on the line for the cause, but it his ability to pass the ball was often overlooked as a result.\nAnd so on to the hard numbers. First and foremost, the appearances and clean sheets by season:\nBoth have pretty good records with close to a one in two clean sheet rate. Ferdinand\u2019s appearances have been slightly limited due to injury and an eight month ban for forgetfulness. Over the ten years, Ferdinand has made an average of 27 league appearances per season, and in that time, has kept an average of 12.9 clean sheets per season. In total, he\u2019s kept a clean sheet for every 2.085 games. John Terry\u2019s 311 appearances work out at an average of 31 games per season, with a clean sheet rate of 15.9. So on the face of it, Terry is ahead, with a clean sheet every 1.955 games.\nTerry\u2019s high of 25 in Chelsea\u2019s title winning season of 2004-05 dwarfs Ferdinand\u2019s 19 in 2007-08, when United won the total. In fact, Terry has kept 20 clean sheets or more in three of the ten seasons. Surprisingly, neither player has completed a full 38 game season.\nSo Terry\u2019s ahead on the overall defensive stats, but in reality, both keep a clean sheet every second game \u2013 a phenomenal rate over a ten year period. But what of their quality of the opposition? Step this way.\nFirst up (due to age and alphabet) is Ferdinand. A decent 27 clean sheets against the teams that finished in the Top 6, 65 against the Mid table teams and 37 against the teams struggling against relegation. An average ranked opponent of 11.21 over 129 clean sheets, his highest number of clean sheets against the big teams was five, which was achieved in three consecutive seasons between 2005-06 to 2007-08, with Man Utd winning the league in the latter two seasons. His highest average was in 2010-11, with 7.50 average from his eight clean sheets \u2013 of which, half were against the Top 6 teams, with Spurs (twice), Arsenal and Man City all being kept out. Tellingly, no clean sheets were kept against the Top 6 in the 2011-12 season as United lost the title on goal difference, with Ferdinand being part of the United team that lost 6-1 at home to Manchester City.\nTerry\u2019s best season was by far and away the 2004-05 season. Keeping a whopping 25 clean sheets against an average ranked opponent of 10.12 as Chelsea went on to win the league for the first time in 50 years, breaking, posting the best defensive record in the history of the English top flight. The season after also saw a stellar defensive display from Chelsea, and Terry was partly responsible for 20 clean sheets, including five against the Top 6 teams. Last season however, saw a drop in the number of clean sheets as he posted just 9 during his 31 league appearances. This could be down to a number of things, such as off the field problems, or defensive partners. Long gone are the days of Carvalho, who has been replaced by Luiz and Cahill. As a result, the number of clean sheets have dropped significantly.\nSo John Terry is more likely to play first and foremost, and he\u2019s just ahead of Rio Ferdinand in terms of games per clean sheet. But\u2026\u2026\nIf we take a closer look at Clean Sheets against the Top 6, taking into account Ferdinand\u2019s appearances. Each player has finished in the Top 6 in each of the ten seasons, meaning there\u2019s a maximum of ten appearances against Top 6 opposition. So here\u2019s the clean sheets and appearances by player versus the best in the league:\nJohn Terry\u2019s clean sheet rate of one every 1.955 games becomes a clean sheet every 2.61 games, compared to Ferdinand\u2019s clean sheet every 2.44 games. So Terry\u2019s more likely to keep clean sheets overall, but Ferdinand did it more against the best in the league. In United\u2019s last title winning season, he kept an impressive four in just six appearances.\nMoving on to goals conceded. First up is Ferdinand again. Over the 269 Premier League games for United in the last 10 years, he\u2019s let in on average 0.75 goals per game \u2013 comfortably under the magical 1 per game target. His best season, being the 2007-08 title win, where he let in only 21 goals in 35 games \u2013 0.6 goals per game. The season before, he played 8 games versus the Top 6 teams, and only conceded 4 goals, whilst in 2010-11, the other Top teams only managed to score twice during his 6 games against. In total, he conceded 70 goals in 66 apearances against the best teams in the league \u2013 a number damaged by the 6-1 Manchester Derby.\nMoving on to Chelsea\u2019s Captain, on the same comparison, Terry conceded 83 goals in 81 appearances against fellow Top 6 teams \u2013 just ahead of Ferdinand\u2019s rate. His best season against the Top 6 was in 2004-05 when just four strikes got past him and his team mates in 9 appearances. His overall goals conceded rate is 0.72 per game \u2013 almost identical to his rival\u2019s 0.75. His best season was the phenomenal 2004-05 when just 13 goals were conceded on Terry\u2019s watch \u2013 a phenomenal 0.36 goals per game. No wonder they won the league so comfortably.\nThis isn\u2019t taking into account the many off the field issues affecting each player, but a very quick look at the yellow/red card count in their last ten years. It\u2019s fair to say that the records are like Chalk and Cheese in this regard. In just the Premier League games, they\u2019ve shared 5 Red Cards \u2013 4 of which were for Terry. Reds against Spurs (twice), Everton and Man City have cost his team as they managed just one win in the four games. Ferdinand\u2019s one red was in the 4-3 defeat to Blackburn, that saw young up and coming midfielder David Bentley score a hat trick against United. A platform for great things\u2026..\nOn the yellow cards, it\u2019s pretty much the same story \u2013 Terry has 52 to Ferdinand\u2019s 20 in what is in keeping with the general expectation of the players \u2013 Terry seen as a British Bulldog, win at all costs type, with Ferdinand seen as the cultured type. In all competitions, for club and country over the 10 years we\u2019re looking at, it\u2019s 31 yellows and 1 red for Ferdinand, and 80 yellows and 5 reds for John Terry, with the last Red costing him a place in the Champions League Final \u2013 not that he missed the celebrations.\nOne area where there really is no contest is at the other end of the pitch. Whilst Ferdinand scored 7 Manchester United goals in the ten years we\u2019re looking at, John Terry scored a massive 43 in the same period. Whilst it has nothing to do with who is a better defender (Philippe Albert anyone?), it\u2019s certainly an interesting angle, and some could use it when looking at the all round footballers. Terry can point to goals against Roma, Arsenal, Man City and Barcelona in recent years, whilst Ferdinand\u2019s highlights in front of goal would be scoring against Liverpool in back to back seasons.\nOf course, both players have Champions League medals and both have tasted defeat in the final, so it\u2019s worth comparing their records in Europe \u2013 both at a group stage and a knock out stage \u2013 where in theory, the opposition are better.\nOnce again, Terry leads the way with the overall number of clean sheets \u2013 posting 39 against Ferdinand\u2019s 36, however, when you take into account the number of games, then Ferdinand has the fewer number of games per clean sheet at 1.94 from 70 appearances compared to Terry\u2019s clean sheets every 2.23 games from his 87 appearances.\nChampions League break down:\nSo in keeping with the Premier League stats, Ferdinand is more likely to keep a clean sheet in the bigger games. Terry has kept a clean sheet for every 1.7 group games in the Champions League, but just one every 3.42 in the knock out stages. Ferdinand on the other hand is pretty consistent \u2013 averaging a clean sheet every two games regardless of the stage.\nOther big games\nBoth players have played in three league cup finals. Ferdinand has two medals, keeping clean sheets in two games, and conceding two goals in the three games, whilst Terry\u2019s three finals have seen five goals conceded, and one win. Moving on to the FA Cup, Ferdinand has played in two FA Cup finals \u2013 keeping a clean sheet before losing on penalties to Arsenal in 2005, and the equally thrilling 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in 2007. Surprisingly, after ten years at Old Trafford, he doesn\u2019t have an FA Cup winners medal (he was suspended when Millwall were beaten in 2004). Terry on the other hand has four winners medals in that time (to add to his 99-00 one), keeping clean sheets against Portsmouth (2008) and Man Utd in the aforementioned snorefest. Two 2-1 victories over both Merseyside clubs completed the set. So Ferdinand has three clean sheets in five domestic Cup Finals to Terry\u2019s two in seven.\nSo we\u2019ve established that both are great defenders in their own right, but how we\u2019re they together, and did they fair better with or without each other for England? Ferdinand won the first of his 81 caps in 1997 as a teenager, and even made it to the World Cup the following year as a non playing squad member. Terry would have to wait another five seasons for his first cap, and up until his recent international retirement, made 78 appearances for the Three Lions.\nIn the last ten years, Ferdinand\u2019s made 59 appearances to Terry\u2019s 72 \u2013 playing alongside eachother on 34 occasions:\nIn terms of clean sheets, there wasn\u2019t really much difference. Together they kept a clean sheet every 2.20 games, Ferdinand without Terry was 2.27 and Terry without Ferdinand was 2.17 \u2013 a slight edge to Terry. In terms of goals conceded, together they let in 0.82 goals per game, with Ferdinand keeping a slightly better 0.8 conceded without Terry and Terry keeping a consistent 0.82.\nOnce again, there\u2019s not a great deal in it. In terms of highlights, Terry\u2019s clean sheet against Italy in Euro 2012, compares with Ferdinand\u2019s clean sheet against Argentina in the 2002 World Cup. In terms of goals, it\u2019s a bit closer than their club appearances, with Ferdinand scoring three goals for England compared to Terry\u2019s six. Interestingly though, all of Ferdinand\u2019s have been in competitive matches, with five of Terry\u2019s six being in friendlies (including Brazil and Germany).\nThe Makelele Factor\nIt\u2019s hard to put an exact impact to the Chelsea clean sheets that John Terry kept, but from 2003-04 to 2007-08 Claude Makelele played the holding midfield role so well that it was renamed the Makelele role. During that time, John Terry kept 91 of his 159 clean sheets, keeping 68 in the five seasons without him. Ferdinand meanwhile had Roy Keane for his first three seasons at the club with his best defensive performances coming after the departure of the influential skipper. And it\u2019s fair to say that he wasn\u2019t quite as defensively disciplined as Makelele.\nShock Horror, I\u2019m going to declare this one a draw. Terry was slightly more likely to keep a clean sheet, but Ferdinand was slightly more likely to do so against the best opponents. In the big games, Ferdinand had the edge in terms of both clean sheets and goals conceded (such as domestic Cup Finals and European knock out games) but Terry was much more likely to trouble the opposition by scoring. Looking at their England records, it was near identical with and without each other. There was only ever going to be one conclusion based on the stats.\nSo despite your view of each player as a person, no one can honestly say that they haven\u2019t both been excellent players \u2013 perhaps two of the best in English history. Both are coming to the end of their careers now, but for those ten years, there are very few who can compare.\nLabels: Chelsea, England, Feature, John Terry, Man Utd, Player Comparison, Premier League, Rio Ferdinand\nAsaah 7 February 2013 at 06:46\nPretty much a draw?Are you kidding me?smh.\nWhat in God's name is the Makelele factor?how can you factor that into JT's performances when you totally ignore the various players that have aided Ferdinand's.\nYou do a pretty good job of collating data, then ruin it by sitting on the fence. The stats clearly favour JT and there's that massive difference in the influence on proceedings at the other end.\nYou should be brave enough to declare winners,all these tepid,unfair draws leave a rather cloying taste in the mouth..\nHi Asaah - Terry was more likely to keep a clean sheet, but Ferdinand was more likely to do it in the bigger games - the whole idea of this blog is to identify the big game players.\nWhilst there's a lot of draws, there are also clear winners - Henry vs van Nistelrooy was a clear win for the Frenchman, Messi won the battle of the Barcelona stars, and Drogba beat Gomez (on the old blog - haven't copied it over). The ones that finished in draws a justiable by content.\nAll opinions are welcome, but my opinion on the above is that given the measures, a draw is a fair result.\nAnd on Makelele, I did look into the \"defensive midfielders\" that Ferdinand had in front of him, and there was no one that would sit in front of the back four like Makelele. He scored one goal in his Chelsea career - a rebound from his own penalty. He rarely passed the half way line, and he was brilliant at his job.",

        "raw_content": "2011 has probably been the toughest year of my life, but it's also been one of the best. I struggled through my first breakup from a 5 year long relationship, I lost an amazing friend to differences, and have been shuffling through a job that doesn't interest me. And despite all of these difficulties I've had to push through during this year, I've managed to discover the real ME by better connecting with my family, recognizing what I want in life and regaining happiness through the things I love to do like blogging, cooking, crafting and being with my loved ones.\nSome amazing things have happened this year that have helped me put the pieces back together. I've witnessed my Grandma Kay miraculously recover from pneumonia and a major operation at the age of 95... I've explored the exciting realm of blogging (something I never knew anything about)... I've experienced the most educating trip in Washington DC with my sister... I've learned more about my family than ever before... and have celebrated the most special Christmas with my entire immediate family for the first time in many years.\nSometimes it's easy to think of only the negative but when you realize how much you've learned and gained from those sadder events and what you do to overcome them and better yourself, it really puts life into a happier perspective. I'm very thankful for 2011 and what it has taught me. And I'm even more excited to experience 2012 with new light, hope and courage.\nChelsea Elizabeth. December 29, 2011 at 8:28 AM\nI love your positive thinking! You are so right, it can be so easy just to look at the negative. I believe only good lessons and realizations come from the bad things that happen!\nJackie {York Avenue} December 29, 2011 at 8:50 AM\nGreat thoughts. It's easy to focus on the negative but sometimes you need to force your mind to see something positive from a tough experience. Sounds like you have a great perspective and I'm sure you will have a fantastic 2012!\nJessa Belle December 29, 2011 at 10:14 AM\nYou have the right attitude to allow the big and better picture to shine through! Keep strong and carry on! It's all we can do and all that needs to be done to make it! Good luck Sweets!\nThanks for the support, Ladies!",

        "raw_content": "Joint : Can Dropping Some Weight Save Your Knees?\nTUESDAY, May 2, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Knocking off some extra pounds might take a harmful load off your knees, researchers report.\nObese and overweight people who lost 5 percent or more of their weight over four years saw less degeneration of their knee cartilage compared with people whose weight stayed stable.\n\"Our study shows that a lifestyle intervention such as weight loss can slow the process of knee joint degeneration in patients at risk for and with osteoarthritis,\" said lead researcher Dr. Alexandra Gersing.\n\"Therefore, it may slow the worsening of symptoms, such as pain and disability,\" said Gersing, who's with the University of California, San Francisco's department of radiology and biomedical imaging.\n\"Osteoarthritis is one of the major causes of disability worldwide,\" she said.\nMore than half of U.S. adults age 75 and older have osteoarthritis -- the wear-and-tear form of the joint disease in which cartilage thins and wears away. And more than one-third of Americans over 20 are obese, the study authors noted.\nExcess weight puts a strain on the knees that can result in arthritis and, potentially, the need for joint replacement, the authors said.\nIn addition, overweight people often alter their gait, which can affect the knee joint. They may also have higher blood levels of proteins that cause inflammation in the joints, increasing the risk for osteoarthritis, Gersing said.\nFor the study, Gersing and her colleagues collected data on 640 obese and overweight people who had mild osteoarthritis or were at risk of it. The patients, average age 69, were part of the Osteoarthritis Initiative, a nationwide U.S. study on the prevention and treatment of knee arthritis.\nThe participants were put into three groups: those who lost more than 10 percent of their body weight, those who lost 5 to 10 percent of their body weight, and those whose weight remained stable.\nOver 48 months, the researchers found that patients with 5 percent weight loss had lower rates of cartilage degeneration than patients whose weight remained stable. Among patients who lost 10 percent of their body weight, cartilage degeneration slowed even more.\nWeight loss also slowed degeneration of the menisci, the crescent-shaped cartilage pads that protect and cushion the knee joint, Gersing said. \"Weight loss seems to be protective for the knee joint,\" she said.\nNot everyone agrees the issue is that clear-cut, however.\nDr. Matthew Hepinstall, a New York City orthopedic surgeon, said although it's likely losing weight slows osteoarthritis, it still hasn't been proven.\n\"Weight loss is considered an important part of osteoarthritis management in patients who are overweight,\" said Hepinstall, who's with Lenox Hill Hospital's Center for Joint Preservation and Reconstruction.\nBut, thin patients also experience worsening of arthritis, so losing weight isn't the answer for all patients, he said.\nThis study should be interpreted with an important caveat, Hepinstall added.\nCorrelation does not prove causation. Without studies randomly comparing patients with weight loss to those with no weight loss, it's impossible to conclude that weight loss definitely slows progression of arthritis, he said.\n\"It is possible that progression of knee arthritis caused pain that interfered with weight loss in some patients, while absence of progression allowed greater comfort in other patients, facilitating weight loss,\" Hepinstall said.\nThe report was published online May 2 in the journal Radiology.",

        "raw_content": "**The following post was written by Scott.**\nI really screwed up yesterday.\nLike...bad.\nIf you're a West Wing fan, perhaps you remember Toby's rant from season 1 about tempting fate. That's what I did.\nYesterday, when conversing with some co-workers, I said two things that would come back to haunt me.\n1) My girls sleep through the night and have since they were four months old.\n2) When one wakes up screaming, they go back to sleep on their own within a minute and never wake up the other.\nFate 2, Scott 0.\nLast night, Claire woke up round about midnight, which isn't altogether unusual. She has this thing she does where she cries out for 10 or 15 seconds randomly several times a night and then goes right back to sleep.\nSurely that's what she was doing this time, right? Right?\nWell, after a few minutes where that obviously wasn't working, Grace starts crying in a \"Claire-why-don't-you-shut-the-hell-up-so-I-can-sleep\" sort of way.\nThis is not a drill folks. We have a full-on, two-baby, middle-of-the-night wake-up. This is what we've trained for. And by we I mean Katie.\nYou see, I don't know how it happened, but we have developed pretty clearly defined roles in this whole parenting thing. Some of them are good allocations of responsibility, others aren't. This is one of the ones that isn't.\nWhen babies wake up, Katie tends to them. Not because I'm not willing to or don't want to or anything like that. It just sort of happened.\nAnd while I'm sure it's a burden she'd rather not have, there's a problem: she's really friggin' good at it.\nSo while Katie spent 45 minutes rocking Claire back to sleep last night, I laid in bed, wide awake, crossing my fingers so hard they were starting to cramp.\nObviously, my position is infinitely better than hers. She can't go to the bathroom. She can't get a drink. She can't blow her nose. If she makes one wrong move, she'll wake *it* up.\nBut I can't shake the feeling of complete and total helplessness. I can't go in to check on her, because that would wake Claire up. I can't bring her a glass of water, because that would wake Claire up. Not to mention being unable to help my screaming kid.\nAfter what seemed like forever, Claire did finally go back to sleep (and stay back asleep) but the whole ordeal has given me a newfound appreciation for how awesome my wife is and a newfound reliance on superstition.\nNext time someone asks me how my kids sleep, I need to come up with a better answer. One that doesn't tempt fate.\nBut, next time someone says to me \"Wow, twins. How do you do it?\" I know exactly what my response will be.\nLabels: Claire, Katie, Sleeping\nI love this post!! Good for you for saying how much you appreciate your wife, more husbands need to do this :) And Katie your post about the milk, yes I would say gradually integrate it or they also make formula now for babies over 1.",

        "title": "Email Newsletters Equal Results - Bright Ideas Event Coordinators",
        "raw_content": "Guest blog by Chris Keam\nEmail has been around for a long time \u2013 and while it may seem as though it\u2019s been around forever, it\u2019s been roughly 40 years since the first email was sent. This proves that the power of email is strong and will continue to stay as a top communication tool for the years to come. Email newsletters have been around for just as long, and is a vital tool for many businesses seeking to communicate with their clients or customers. Email provides the opportunity to contact individuals directly at a low cost, and is a durable solution for PR and Marketing.\nHere are three simple steps to help you get you started:\n1) Use The Right Program\nThere are plenty of programs available that allow you to create, send and track all your email newsletter activity. Some programs may be more powerful and flexible than others, but these tend to require additional assistance. With these high-involved programs, you\u2019ll likely need a designer or a writer that has HTML experience and can create a layout from scratch. There are also other programs available that offer ready-to-go templates, and provide an easy \u201cpoint and click\u201d way to develop your email newsletter. However, these types of programs may lack some of the features available in the more \u201chands-on\u201d programs mentioned previously. Each program has its own advantages and drawbacks, therefore it\u2019s crucial to talk to your team to find out which program is the right one for your business. Don\u2019t solely choose a program based on price or features. By discussing which program is most suitable, you\u2019ll save yourself time, money and headaches!\n2) Recycle Content\nA good strategy to increase your online presence and gain results is to cross-purpose your content. You can turn your current newsletters into blog posts or vice versa. Consider re-using copy or images to gain additional page views. However, it\u2019s necessary to re-word your original content. Keeping your content word for word the same is bad for SEO purposes. In addition, use your social media channels wisely by sharing your content through your company\u2019s Twitter account or Facebook page. This will help to attract additional newsletter subscribers. While LinkedIn may not be as popular, it should not be forgotten \u2013 this channel continues to grow and provides an additional medium to publicize content to your professional network who are in a relevant industry.\n3) Gather Data\nEmail newsletters provides a useful feature \u2013 important data of your subscribers. This handy tool is truly beneficial as it will help you strengthen your overall email marketing efforts. By gathering data, you will be able to look at various statistics \u2013 ranging from big pictured to detailed stats. Such \u201cbig picture\u201d statistics to look out for include open and click rates. You can also see which links on your newsletter have been most popular, which subscribers visited important links, and which time of day during the week is most effective for mail-out. All this important data will help you fine-tune your email newsletter campaigns in order to help you gain maximum results.\nRemember, the Internet landscape will always shift. Websites will come and go \u2013 but email is here to stay. While some may claim social media rules the internet marketing world, I\u2019m here to tell you that email newsletters are just as effective! A customer\u2019s inbox is valuable real estate that allows one-to-one communication between the business and the customer. Provide content they can use and you will see effective results for the New Year 2014!",

        "title": "Flyers Trade Deadline Roundup - Broad Street Beat",
        "raw_content": "Flyers Trade Deadline Roundup\nThis trade deadline roundup was admittedly more fun last year when there were more moves being made. Hey, remember Kent Huskins? The fact that there were only 2 moves made though, none being a huge shake up, is a good thing for the Flyers though.\nAndrew MacDonald (from NY Islanders) for 2nd round pick in 2015 & 3rd round pick in 2014:\nThis trade kind of feels like a step to the left. The Flyers basically replaced Meszaros (more on that below) with MacDonald. MacDonald is a type of player the Flyers seem to love, a shot-blocking defensemen. He is on a contract that expires this year, so he may end up just being a rental, and a cheap one at that. His contract only causes a $550,000 cap hit before expiring in July.\nMacDonald is a very average player. He will be paired on the 3rd line with Luke Schenn, at least for now, so he clearly wasn't brought in with the intention of being the type of player that completely changes the team. He played over 20 minutes on average in New York, a roll that will be lessened with the Flyers. Hopefully the lightened roll and the excitement that comes with actually being on a playoff team now will help him flourish.\nMany people are upset with the 2nd and 3rd round picks given up for MacDonald, but the way Homer likes to acquire talent from other teams at trade deadlines and in the summer, there's a very likely chance that those picks never would have panned out anyway. With the addition of MacDonald, the Flyers clearly needed to lose another D man to make space, thus Andrej Meszaros was dealt today.\n3rd round pick in 2014 from Boston for Andrej Meszaros:\nThis wasn't really a surprise at all. It's been apparent for weeks that the Flyers were trying to unload Meszaros and his expiring contract. A third round pick is not much for Mez, but he wasn't getting resigned anyway. That third round pick could also turn into a second rounder if Meszaros signs with Boston before the 2014 draft or if Boston makes the Eastern Conference Finals with Meszaros playing in 2/3 of their remaining games. Meszaros was also going to sit and gather dust like Hal Gill if he wasn't moved, so a third round pick should not be scoffed at.\nWhen you combine the 2 trades the Flyers basically dealt Meszaros and a 2nd rounder for Andrew MacDonald, especially considering that MacDonald will take Meszaros' place on the third line with Schenn. The thing about this Meszaros-MacDonald trade is that it's very tough to argue one is better than the other. MacDonald could easily step in and be more effective than Meszaros. They are about the same in terms of goals as of today, Mez with 5, Mac with 4. MacDonald leads in assists with 20 to Mez's 12, though Mez has been injured. MacDonald's +/- is 20 points lower than Meszaros' but that will happen when you play that many minutes for a team like the Islanders.\nIt seems that if Homer wants to shake up the team he'll do it in the summer. These trades don't affect the team too much overall, but it seems the Flyers had their nose in other teams' business, trying to affect their deadline day.\nRumor has it the only reason the Flyers showed any interest in Vancouver Canucks center, Ryan Kesler, was too drive up the price the Penguins would have to pay. The Penguins were coveting him highly, while it seems the Flyers had to reason to. The team already has a wealth of centers and would have had to give up an established 20-25 year old, a top prospect and 1st round pick to get him. If this was indeed the front office's strategy it worked. Kesler was not moved today and will remain a Canuck for the rest of the season.\nOne more note. How pissed does it make you that Ilya Bryzgalov, the very guy we paid $51 million to acquire only 2 years ago, was dealt to the Minnesota Wild today by the Oilers in exchange for a 4th round draft pick?",

        "raw_content": "Why I Love St. Claude de La Colombiere\nWhenever I attend Mass on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I am consoled by these words from the Gospel.\nTake my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11: 29-30)\nBy them, Jesus not only assures me that a place of rest exists for me here and now, but with very little ado, He tells me how to get there. Since we often complicate things, God scatters holy men, women, and children throughout our history who somehow \u201cget it\u201d; in their daily living, they serve as examples of Christ among us In word and deed. Some of these people we now call saints. When it comes to understanding the heart in the lesson of the Gospel verses above, I have a special saint who brings me closer to the One whose heart beats madly for each one of us.\nMy devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus led me to learn more about St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. This, in turn, led me to learn about her confessor, a Jesuit priest named Claude de La Colombieie, who was canonized some 300 years after his death, by Pope John Paul II, on May 31, 1992. Was he a remarkable saint like Teresa of Avila, Padre Pio, or John Paul the Great? No. Was he a meek and humble saint? Remarkably so. This is not to say meekness and humility are not commonly evident in persons we view as holy, but these virtues were certainly hallmarks of this particular priest. I love him for so beautifully exemplifying these virtues inseparable from the Heart of Jesus through whom he loved everyone and everything. These virtues, together with his quiet, determined struggle against self-perceived vices made him a better agent through whom God could bring souls to Himself. These are the reasons St. Claude attracts and inspires me.\nFr. Claude de La Colombiere\nClaude de La Colombiere was born of noble parents in southeastern France at Symphorien d\u2019Ozon, on February 2, 1641. At the age of 17, he entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus at Avignon. In 1666, he returned to Lyons as a priest, after completing his theological studies and having taught literature and grammar at the Jesuit College in Avignon for 5 years. From that time until 1674, he was occupied as a teacher at the Jesuit College in Lyons, taking on the duties, also, of preacher and moderator for the Marian Congregations of the area.\nThen, in 1674, near the end of his yearly retreat, Fr. La Colombiere, was inspired to make a vow of perfection. By it, he vowed to strictly adhere to the rule and constitutions of his order under penalty of serious sin. It was not an obligatory vow for the Jesuits, but one which was open to him and which he freely made. Not only was this vow to serve him well in his struggle for perfection, but, by the hand of God, it prepared him for the mission, as yet unknown to him, for which he would passionately spend the remaining years of his life.\nSt. Claude encountered St. Margaret Mary Alacoque\nOnly two months later, in February 1675, Fr. Colombiere was assigned to be the superior at the Jesuit house in the Visitation Monastery at Paray-Le-Monial. It was here that he encountered St. Margaret Mary Alacoque who was filled with confusion about the visions of Jesus she had been receiving. One of her confessors had told her she was being taken in by the devil, and she knew her Mother Superior also cautiously doubted the authenticity of her visions. Jesus had communicated to Sr. Margaret Mary, however, that He was sending her to His \u201cperfect friend\u201d to allay her fears and doubts and to be her guide and help in the mission He entrusted to her. The mission was no less than to spread the message of the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus throughout the world and to establish in the Church a solemn universal feast day in honor of His Sacred Heart on the Friday after the Octave of Corpus Christi.\nShortly after the arrival of Fr. La Colombiere, as he was preaching to the Visitation community, Sr. Margaret Mary \u201cheard these words in [her] heart: He is the one I sent you\u201d. After confessing to the new priest, Margaret Mary wrote the following:\nImmediately, without hurting me, he discovered the good and the bad in my heart. It consoled me very much and he exhorted me not to be afraid of God\u2019s ways as long as I remain obedient to my superiors, renewing my offering totally to God, so He can treat me as He pleases. Father Claude showed me to appreciate God\u2019s gifts and to receive them with faith and humility.\nGod used Fr. Claude to free the heart of St. Margaret Mary from fear. Then, the message of the Sacred Heart\u2019s love for humanity was let loose upon the world just when the errors of Jansenism had spread everywhere., Even though more than a century would pass before the required feast day was proclaimed by the Church, people seemed to thirst for the Devotion from the moment it was introduced to them. The Jansenists brought on a prolonged and fierce persecution on the Sacred Heart devotion; many of its devotees were victimized, some even lost their lives, for their unwavering loyalty and adherence to it.\nFr. La Colombiere was at Paray-Le-Monial only one and a half years when he was sent to the Palace of St. James in England to be a preacher to the Duchess of York, Mary of Modena (later, Queen of Great Britain), a devout Catholic. Once in England, Fr. Claude\u2019s continual efforts to draw attention to the message of Jesus, defeat the errors of Jansenism, and bring many of the lost back to the faith, came in the form of sound preaching, well-written pamphlets, and an adeptness for spiritual direction which few holy men have possessed. He was able to guide Sr. Margaret Mary by letter but not without difficulty,\nNear the end of 1678, Fr. Claude was falsely accused amidst a web of lies created in the Titus Oates scandal concerning a plot to kill Charles II. Several people, including a number of Jesuit priests, were executed on account of the deception. Fr. Claude was arrested and spent three weeks in one of England\u2019s harsher prisons. He was already very ill because of the country\u2019s climate and his intense zeal for God which permitted him no rest. Because of his favor at the court and his protection as a subject of Louis XIV, Fr. La Colombiere escaped execution and was instead exiled to France in early 1679. However, his health was completely ruined by pulmonary disease. He prayed for patient endurance and for his enemies during these trials, uniting his sufferings to those of Christ on the cross who prayed for and forgave His persecutors.\nFr. Claude de La Colombiere returned to Paray-Le-Monial in the summer of 1681, thinking the climate might help to repair his health. He died suddenly on the first Sunday of Lent, February 15, 1682, just following his 41st birthday, after a massive hemorrhage of his lungs. Sr. Margaret Mary, still present at the monastery, received joyful confidence from Jesus at the death of her holy spiritual director: Fr. Claude was now safely home in the arms of Our Lord. From his spiritual notes, written in Lyons, 1674, we see his acceptance of death:\nOur Lord requires a great sacrifice of me, and that is to make up my mind to do nothing if it is His will. I must be ready to die and to sacrifice in death my zeal and the great desire I have to work for the sanctification of souls; or I must be ready to live on in silence, weak and ill, being no more than a burden wherever I find myself. (The Spiritual Direction of Saint Claude de La Colombiere,p. 47.)\nThrough the letters, journals and sermons of Fr. La Colombiere assembled after his death, we are graced with a window into the special soul of a man wholly, and most humbly, given to God. Nor would he let any soul in his charge fall short of her or his call to holiness by omitting in word or example what one needed to hear. A good example is from a letter from London, 1678:\nI see that you have at last found the secret of true peace: not to examine your present state and to abandon the past and future entirely to God\u2019s mercy; to have a great idea of his goodness, which is infinitely greater than you can express, and to believe, in spite of anything that tries to persuade you to the contrary, that you are loved by him in spite of all your miseries. (Ibid., p. 54.)\nIt was this merciful love alone that he had absolute confidence would ultimately join him, in all his unworthiness to the Heart of the Master whom he loved. \u201cOf all the saints in the calendar of the Church, few can have been less aware of their sanctity than was Colombiere.\u201d (Ibid.)\nIn his spiritual direction, Fr. Claude was gentle, but to the point, always honest and inspiring his listeners to overcome self-doubt, putting full trust in the mercy and goodness of God. In a letter from Lyons, 1679, about two years before Colombiere\u2019s death he advises:\n\u201cI recommend you to go to Holy Communion the day after the octave of Corpus Christi in reparation for all the irreverence shown to Jesus Christ while he has been exposed on all the altars of the Catholic world during this octave. This practice was recommended to me by a person of extraordinary sanctity who assured me that all those who give Our Lord this sign of love will derive great fruit from it. (The Spiritual Direction of Saint Claude de La Colombiere, p. 22.)\nIn his homily at the canonization of St. Claude de La Colombiere, Pope John Paul II described our saint as \u201cextraordinarily attracted to everything human, yet so generous with God.\u201d His life was a continual taking on of the yoke of Christ, patiently, persistently learning from Him to be humble and gentle heart for the sake of other souls, for his own sanctification, and for the greater glory of God revealed in the infinite love and mercy of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The required message, by way of two obedient and humble souls, had begun its journey to the hearts of all humankind.\nhttp://www.piercedhearts.org/theology_heart/life_saints/claude_colombiere.htm\nThe Spiritual Direction of St. Claude de La Colombiere.

        "raw_content": "I was very pleased to see that our new book made the front page splash in the Times Educational Supplement. The book is primarily aimed at teachers so this is very much the audience we want to reach.\nThe focus of Neil Munro\ufffds piece was the most controversial aspect of the book \ufffd the fact that I\ufffdm warning of the potential dangers of a taught approach to emotional literacy in schools.\nWhat I hope people will realise is that the Centre has no vested interest in taking this line. This type of work is all the rage down south. There are a growing number of organisations, consultants and consultancies dedicated to this type of work and we could easily have joined them.\nBut we don\ufffdt want to. The issue for myself, and colleagues at the Centre, with the English approach to social and emotional skills (SEAL) is how programmatic and systematic it is. What it is recommending to schools is that all children from 3 to 18 are formally taught on a year on year basis social and emotional skills. For 3-11 year olds there are 42 learning outcomes and for secondary pupils 50. There is now a huge industry churning out materials.\nThe architects of SEAL think it is beneficial that they are supposedly now eradicating the idea of a \ufffddeficit\ufffd by teaching all young people social and emotional skills. But in effect they are extending the deficit to all children. Do we want to give young people the message that we all need to learn about feelings and relationships from experts in a professional setting? Will this not encourage help-seeking behaviour and a view of emotions and relationships which will fuel mental health problems (and overload state services) in the long run? This is precisely the critique advanced cogently by Professor Frank Furedi in Therapy Culture.\nSelf-awareness, and emotional awareness are at the heart of both Primary and Secondary SEAL. But do we want to encourage people to be overly concerned with how they feel? Psychologists now talk about a \ufffdnegativity bias\ufffd which means that it is very easy for people to become depressed if they become too introspective or ruminative. What\ufffds more in an age like ours where we are very focused on ourselves is this approach not likely to encourage even more individualism, narcissism and an obsession with how one feels in the moment? Who says that expressing feelings is inevitably good? A growing body of research contradicts this. For example, counselling or debriefing people after negative incidents can make them more, not less likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. How can we know that a focus on feelings and emotions for thirteen years of young people\ufffds lives in the classroom will actually benefit, as opposed to undermine, their long term mental health?\nOne of the difficulties with critiquing this agenda is that it is so obviously well-meaning and touchy-feely. Many people nowadays have been put off by the target-driven, management-by-objectives approach which dominates public sector organisations including schools. So, after all the cold logic and strategies, is it not great to hear people talking about emotions and feelings? The warm and emotional feel to SEAL is further enhanced by the fact that advocates keep talking about the importance of a \ufffdholistic\ufffd approach and seem to be urging us to be more child-centred.\nBut the Department of Children, Schools and Families (following in the footsteps of the DfES) is grafting this focus on emotions onto its standard practices. If this initiative succeeds as planned, and schools fully implement the recommendations, all young people\ufffds emotional lives (not just the few who have obvious difficulties) will become the focus for checklists, assessments and evaluations. The learning outcomes are, in effect, a template of the ideal pupil against which real young people will be judged. Many will be found wanting and told they have to improve. If you examine the learning outcomes you\ufffdll see much of this is related to personality. Some types of people are much more inclined to express feelings or analyse their behaviour than others. For all that there is talk of \ufffdpersonalisation\ufffd and respect for differences there is little recognition in this approach that people are different. Since the template for primary is essentially about being a \ufffdnice girl\ufffd boys may take a dim view. The Guidance note even recognises this (and that boys may be ridiculed for this behaviour outside of school) but then simply urges teachers to be \ufffdsensitive\ufffd. The pilots on SEAL did in fact show that boys had more negative responses after the programme than before. Some teachers reported that the difficult kids also became more rebellious.\nFeelings, emotions and relationships are the core of our personal lives. They are an intimate part of us. The Centre believes that any initiative which suggests that government departments, schools and teachers should micromanage young people\ufffds feelings is Orwellian and a good enough reason on its own to say we have to drop this idea altogether.\nThe problem (or should that be good thing?) with our approach is that it doesn't lend itself to packs or learning outcomes.\nComment Posted: 31/08/2007 12:39 I'm sorry I can't make the event at the Science Centre to offer my support but I am looking forward to receiving my copy of the new book.\nI'm as concerned as Carol about some of the moves in England & Wales. It's part of the same need to control which is leading us towards ID cards for all. I'm of the generation born just after World War II and I remember my parents talking about having to carry ID at all times and how they were glad it had ended. It's even worse for young people. The last war is ancient history for them and they recognise all these issues, including constant \"testing\" and profiling in education as a way of the authorities building a profile on all citizens to direct and control us more easily.\nAn even bigger worry is that they plan to use IT to manage this and the Government's record with computers hardly inspires confidence.",

        "raw_content": "The story of humanity is told through one typical American family living in New Jersey. Or maybe not so typical. Father (John Middleton) comes home from a long day at the office inventing the wheel, the alphabet, multiplication tables, and the like. Mother (Kirby Bennett) would do anything to keep her children alive, because she's lost so many (\"we've always had two children, but not the same two children\"). Daughter Gladys (Kathryn Fumie) tries to be the perfect one for her papa, while trouble-maker Henry (Neal Skoy) may have killed his brother. Their maid, and maybe one-time second wife, Sabina (Alayne Hopkins), is fed up with the work and threatens to quit. Father invites some of his friends over, including Moses, Homer, and the Muses. Oh, and it's bitterly cold in August with an approaching wall of ice, and they have a pet dinosaur and woolly mammoth. Just a typical day in the life of your typical American family.\nThat's just the first act. Fortunately there's plenty of fourth wall breaking to help explain the play, particularly in the form of Sabina breaking out of character and confessing to the audience that she doesn't like this play. In the second act, which takes place in Atlantic City in the '70s (because bell bottoms are fun) when Father is crowned President of the human race, Sabina refuses to act a scene and insists they skip to the end. Every time she breaks from the script, the harried director (Sam Landman) comes onstage to straighten things out. Finally, in the third act, we return to the New Jersey home after a long and brutal war, and the director tells us that seven actors have all taken ill from food poisoning, and they stage a little rehearsal with the backstage people (including an usher) who will be filling in. It's all completely ridiculous, but when that final scene happens and we hear from some of humanity's greatest philosophers, it's really quite beautiful and profound. Humanity has had to deal with innumerable tragedies, big and small (including the current administration), but somehow we persevere. And there's great hope in that.\njust a typical American family (photo by Petronella J. Ytsma)\nIn a note in the program, director/designer Joel Sass describes the play as a \"screwball tragedy.\" And he has achieved just that tone from his large, diverse, and talented cast. They play up the heightened emotions and extreme situations, but also find humanity in the archetypal characters, especially in the third act. The set also fits that tone, with a bright, colorful, almost cartoonish look to the first two acts, and a look of utter destruction in the third. Video projects (designed by Kathy Maxwell) of that approaching ice wall, the Atlantic City boardwalk, and the night sky add to the sense of place. Costumes (designed by Kathy Kohl) are also bright and colorful and a little too much (in a good way), not to mention the best dinosaur and woolly mammoth Halloween costumes you could ask for. Mission \"screwball tragedy\" accomplished.\nMake no mistake, The Skin of Our Teeth is super weird. It's surprising that it was written in the early '40s, by the same playwright that brought us the class Our Town. It feels like some theatrical experiment that could have been written today. It's a wild and crazy ride, but hang in there, the team at Girl Friday will get you through it to a rewarding end (continuing through March 3).\n*A huge thanks to my friend (and frequent usher) Nancy who first introduced me to this company. I wish you were still with us now to see this show, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. RIP.",

        "raw_content": "Avian flu reported in Turkey, suspected in Romania\nOct 10, 2005 (CIDRAP News) \u2013 Avian flu extended its reach into new territory by spreading to Turkey and possibly Romania in the past week, while Indonesians face another suspected human case of H5N1 flu and allegations of vaccine-related fraud.\nAn outbreak in turkeys has resulted in 1,700 deaths from disease and 100 deaths from culling near Balikesir in northwestern Turkey, according to a report submitted yesterday by Dr. Nihat Pakil, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in Ankara, to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). The virus has been typed as H5, but the neuraminidase subtype (N number) hasn't yet been determined.\nThis is the first outbreak of highly pathogenic avian flu ever reported in Turkey, according to the OIE.\nMilitary police set up roadblocks outside the village near Balikesir and were checking incoming and outbound vehicles, the Associated Press (AP) reported today. In addition, officials ordered all birds and \"street dogs\" in the affected village to be destroyed as a precaution, according to the story. Farmers are to be compensated for lost poultry.\nDespite concerns and repeated testing more than a year ago in Thailand, there has been no evidence to date of dogs becoming infected with H5N1.\nThe farmer with the sick birds told the Anatolia news agency on Oct 8 that he hadn't yet been checked for avian flu and was afraid to be near his family.\nIn the same region, Romania has notified OIE of its first possible avian flu outbreak since 1942, although the pathogen remains in doubt. An outbreak occurred on one farm in Ceamurlia-de-Jos in Tulcea County, in eastern Romania near the Black Sea. The report to OIE said 52 laying hens and 48 ducks were dead. Of those, 36 died of disease and 64 were destroyed. The Oct 7 report said Romania plans to control wildlife reservoirs but didn't describe how.\nDead birds were first found in Ceamurlia-de-Jos late in September, Romanian officials told the AP, according to a Guardian newspaper story published online Oct 8.\nHowever, British authorities announced today that preliminary tests in Romania were negative for any avian flu viruses, according to the online edition of the British newspaper The Mirror. A European Union team was en route to Romania to conduct more tests, the story added.\nIn Indonesia, a 4-year-old boy from Lampung, Sumatra, has tested positive for H5N1 infection in preliminary tests, according to a Reuters story yesterday. Samples from the boy\u2014who remained in a hospital in Lampung but appeared to be suffering only a cough\u2014were to be tested in a World Health Organization (WHO) reference laboratory in Hong Kong.\nIf the case is confirmed as H5N1, it would be Indonesia's sixth WHO-recognized case. The WHO today announced it had confirmed Indonesia's fifth case, that of a 21-year-old man, also from Lampung, who was hospitalized Sep 24. His case was reported by the media last week.\nThe man had been exposed to sick and dying chickens before falling ill on Sep 20, the WHO said. He remained in the hospital in stable condition. Three of Indonesia's five WHO-confirmed H5N1 patients have died.\nThe Indonesian government said another six suspected avian flu patients were in a hospital in Jakarta, Reuters noted.\nSigns of fraud in the production of Indonesia's H5N1 poultry vaccine have forced officials to test doses to see if they were properly prepared, according to an Agence France-Presse (AFP) story picked up by The Jakarta Post today.\nGovernment auditors have accused Indonesian vaccine makers of colluding with government officials to produce low-quality doses to boost profits, the AFP reported. The agriculture ministry is testing the vaccines still in stock to see if those doses meet minimum standards.\nThe agriculture minister, Anton Apriyantono, told AFP that tests last year in Java showed the vaccine's protection level was from 11.8% to 28%.\nA spokesman for the ministry said the testing would be a gradual process because laboratory capacity is limited.\n\"We will gradually test samples and decide which vaccine can continue to be used and which [will] have to be withdrawn from circulation,\" spokesman Syamsul Bahri told AFP.\nWHO confirmation of Indonesian case\nReport to OIE of avian flu in Romania\nhttp://web.oie.int/wahis/reports/en_imm_0000005189_20051007_160936.pdf",

        "raw_content": "Last night some of the girls and I got to do something special. We attended the opening night performance of Memphis at the PPAC in exchange for tweeting about the show - during the show. They called it tweet seats and this is the first time the PPAC has tried this. You can still follow the twitter stream from last night using the hashtag #MemphisPPAC.\nJen and I went together and we were able to meet up with Kirsten.\nMemphis takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated 50's, a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun fell in love with everything he shouldn't: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer. Memphis is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music that changed forever.\nI don't even know how to begin telling you how completely AMAZING this show was. The music (which was written by Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan) made me want to get up and dance. There has always been something about that 50's for me... I could see myself having been there... dancing like that. Memphis isn't just a musical. It was also a comedy. And at times it left me speechless and teary eyed at the injustices of the times. It was powerful. The way the show ended for intermission was riveting and I could not wait to see the continuation.\nBryan Fenkart stars as Huey Calhoun, and Felicia Boswell as Felicia Farrell. Incredible voices. I loved every moment of their performances. I have to tell you that I honestly can not remember the last time I sat in a theater so moved during a musical that I cried. This may actually be a first. When Memphis ended the entire theater was on their feet for a standing ovation. It was that good.\nYou can follow up with Memphis on Facebook, Twitter and the website for their national tour. And if you are local (or can get yourself to Providence, Rhode Island this week), I promise you will not be disappointed if you get to the PPAC and see Memphis this week. Event show times for the week are as follows:\nTickets for PPAC shows can be purchased by clicking here.\nListen to the beat in your soul and never let them steal your rock 'n roll!\nLabels: broadway, memphis, musical, ppac\nWell that is a good i for writing good topics. just visit best essay writing site to master your way.",

Dave Brockie\nGwar founder and frontman Dave Brockie, who terrorized stages as Oderus Urungus, has died. According to StyleWeekly, the 50-year-old was found dead Sunday in his home in Richmond, Virginia.\nOver the past 30 years, the thrash metal band and its frontman pulverized its audiences with bodily fluids, political fury, and one of the most elaborate stage setups in the history of rock 'n' roll.\nGwar guitarist Cory Smoot found dead on tour bus after Minneapolis show\nJack Flanagan, GWAR's manager, issued the following statement:\n\"It is with a saddened heart, that I confirm my dear friend Dave Brockie, artist, musician, and lead singer of GWAR passed away at approximately 6:50 PM EST Sunday March 23,2014. His body was found Sunday by his band mate at his home in Richmond, VA. Richmond authorities have confirmed his death and next of kin has been notified. A full autopsy will be performed. He was 50 years old, born August 30, 1963.\"\nI had the pleasure of speaking to Brockie on two occasions, most recently around Valentine's Day for the Minnesota Daily's dating advice column. He was surprisingly serious with his answers, but always threw in lines like, \"If she says she's not into the relationship part -- a spear through the mouth.\"\nThe last time we spoke, I messed up the time change and called him 30 minutes late. Where another artist might refuse to speak to me after such a slip, Brockie took it in stride, using the opportunity to tease me. I apologized, blaming Eastern time for my mistake, and he responded, \"Well, that's no excuse. You're a reporter -- what if they send you to Mongolia? You'll be right fucked. Wear a sundial.\"\nLater in the same conversation, he walked into a \"nine ton\" coffee table \"made out of a planet\" and began incoherently screaming into the phone. \"I'm a hoarder,\" he said. \"I haven't thrown anything away in 40 billion years.\" It wasn't part of the interview. It was just Brockie being Brockie.\nBrockie was always kind and accommodating, no matter how inane my questions were. He approached each interview with the enthusiasm you'd expect from someone being interviewed for the first time ever, though he'd been in the game for 30 years. He had a quick and witty sense of humor, deriving great pleasure from gently poking fun at me, a novice college reporter. At times, he'd go on long-winded tangents about his quest to find the perfect whale to mate with to form combination Oderus Urungus/whale creatures. He lived his fantasy, never running out of bizarre, fantastical stories he'd tell off the top of his head. He was simultaneously generous, thoughtful, disgusting, and hysterical.\nWhen I interviewed Brockie before GWAR's last Minneapolis show last October, we spoke briefly about the death of Cory Smoot, GWAR's former guitarist who died of a heart attack after playing a show at First Avenue in 2011. In regards to the difficulty of moving forward with the tour, Brockie said:\n\"It was hard. Super hard. But the guys are superhuman chaos warriors from outer space, and we weren't gonna let it stop us. In fact, almost immediately we seized upon the opportunity as a way to show to the world that no matter how crappy a card you are dealt, that you can actually use this as a way to prove dominance and mastery more than ever. Despite all the adversity, we found a way to rise above it, and I hope people take that as a lesson.\nFar too many people take the sufferings of others, make them their own and use them as an excuse for their own pathetic, miserable lives to turn into shit, and we were absolutely not going to let that happen.\"\nI can't help but think Brockie would want the same attitude applied to his own passing.\nBrockie and Gwar held absolutely nothing sacred during their performances, which rolled through First Avenue on a yearly basis. RIP, Oderus Urungus.\nGwar recaps from 2011, 2012, and 2013.",

        "title": "Accompaniment in Formation | Claretian Formation / Formaci\u00f3n Claretiana",
        "raw_content": "Accompaniment in Formation\nThe encyclical of Pope John Paul II, Vita Consacrata No. 65 states that \u201cthe primary aim of the formation process is to prepare people for total consecration of themselves to God in the following of Christ, at the service of the Church\u2019s mission.\u201d This is possible when one is transformed into Christ. It is partly the task of formation environment to facilitate human development, and growth in inner freedom of the vocationer and \u201cfan into flame\u201d the gift of Charism which God endows to those who are called to this way of life.[1] Conversion or growth into Christ as a celibate is a process of constant listening and experiencing the ways of the Lord in the life of a vocationer and this is also to be facilitated by the formators who accompany the individual and hence formation is an integrated human process. The formator needs to \u201ctend the flame\u201d and help the person to do the same. So formation is the process where the fire of the passion for Christ and the humanity is fanned and tended. As we have seen earlier, the aim of formation process is the transformation of the person into Christ. What, then, is transformation? \u201cTransformation is a process of change into a mature relationship with God that has repercussions for human relationships and actions.\u201d[2] And how this process takes place? According to Joyce Ridick, it is through internalization one is transformed. Internalization or transformation is \u201cintellectual and emotional assent to a theocentrically transcendent good because of its intrinsic qualities and a conative (felt) urge and desire to live and become that good.\u201d[3] In this process of internalization or transformation the role of the formator who accompanies is very important. To understand what happens in formation and how the accompaniment is done two images may help us. They are i) the fire in the ashes, and ii) the journey of Jesus with the disciples to Emmaus. Let us have a look at them.\nTwo Images of Formation and Accompaniment\nLet us first look at \u201cthe fire in the ashes\u201d. Joan Chittister while talking about the spirituality of the contemporary religious life uses this image taken from the Irish culture. The Irish have a word for the fire in the ashes: Grieshog. Grieshog is a process of burying warm coals in ashes at night in order to preserve the fire for the cold morning to come. Instead of cleaning out the cold hearth, people preserved the previous day\u2019s glowing coals under beds of ash overnight in order to have fast-starting new fire the next day. The process is an extremely important one. Otherwise, if the coals go out, a whole new fire must be built and lit when morning comes. It would lead to waste of time and energy. So the important thing is that the old fire was not allowed to die. It kept its heat in order to be prepared to light the new one. It is a holy process, this preservation of purpose, or energy, or warmth and light in darkness.[4] If we take this image to understand what happens in the process of formation it gives a good insight. So the formation environment needs to help the vocationer or formandi to preserve this fire within: a passion for Christ and for humanity. As seen before, the role of the formator is to fan and tend this flame which was preserved by the process of formation with the cooperation and active involvement of the vocationer. This fanning and tending is done through the process of accompaniment. The next image from the life of Jesus would enlighten us to understand this process of accompaniment.\nAs Jesus in the episode of Emmaus (Lk. 24:13-32), the formator shares the journey and the \u201cbread of the journey\u201d with the young person in formation, who in turn lets himself be accompanied along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. The purpose is to unburden the young person\u2019s heart so as to grasp the Word that sets the heart aflame, in recognizing the Christ while he breaks the bread and thence run to the brethren to share the experience. Emmaus becomes an icon for both the formator and the young person in formation. The main condition is the capacity to open up, by letting the messy world often beating inside come out, with its ambitions and frustrations, hopes and fears, blockages and wounds, angels and demons. Jesus began the catechesis with the two disciples of Emmaus by asking them to confess the truth about their feelings, the depression and disappointment that broke their heart. In the same way formation works only if the young person opens up, unveils the state of his soul, positive and negative, tells the truth of his experience to whoever is beside him and who for this very reason can help him understand himself better. Next, the two disciples do not recognize Jesus, but they welcome the company of this stranger who joins them on the journey; they accept to dialogue, they listen even when the stranger\u2019s words take a tone of reproach and condemnation of their hardness of heart; they vent their sadness and disappointment on him, they insist that he remain with them, in short they trust him. It is actually trust that allows walking together, at the human and spiritual level. In the same way in the process of accompaniment the trust the young person places on the formator remains fundamental. In this episode, then Jesus enables the disciples to discern what is the will of God and to accept the reality of the passion and death of Christ as part of the plan of God. The formator accompanies the young person to a precise point of arrival: discovering the project of God and choosing it, in freedom and responsibility, as a revelation of his or her own identity. The accompaniment is therefore not in function of programmes or of the institution. It aims at creating an obedient availability in respect of the divine vocational plan. [5] Once the disciples recognized Jesus he disappeared from their sight. It is valid also for accompaniment. The one who accompanies should be careful not to do the discerning in lieu of the vocationer and when the time comes the formator must be also able to disappear from the scene to allow the process to continue. Saint Ignatius, a master in the art of discernment, repeats strongly that the young person is to be prepared not to seek outside oneself the security that what he senses is really the will of God. He would not find such a certainty anywhere, and would unload upon others a precise responsibility of his. But he is formed so as to seek in God the certainty of making a good choice. Therefore the formator directs, supports, helps to purify motivations and to free the heart, brightens up and gives assurance; but he abstains from every form of authoritarian voluntarism and from everything that would make the decision for obedience in faith less autonomous and personal, and therefore less believing.[6]\n[1] Cf.

        "raw_content": "\u201cI trust in the mercy of God forever\u201d-Psalm 52:8\n\u201cI think about the guy whose life I took. Because of my action, he will never be a father. I think about his wife. Did she ever find somebody else? She was young, but still. Does she sleep alone every night? Is she scared? Does she have money problems? And I finally get what they mean when they ask me at my parole hearings if I have \u2018insight\u2019 into my crime. I have insight, you know what I mean?\u201d- \u201cJ\u201d, CDCR inmate\n\u201cTo err is human; to forgive, divine.\u201d-Alexander Pope\nTo be forgiven is a deeply-ingrained human need: in the \u201cOur Father\u201d, forgiveness is mentioned just after \u201cdaily bread.\u201d Perhaps forgiveness is bread for the soul. When we pray the \u201cOur Father,\u201d we ask God to forgive us in exactly the same vein that we forgive others, which, for most of us, is a pretty risky thing to ask. I still haven\u2019t quite forgiven my brother for boycotting my sister\u2019s wedding. I haven\u2019t forgiven the two guys who robbed my daughter at gunpoint. I have barely forgiven my husband for telling me that my new haircut looked \u201cmature.\u201d\nI am in big trouble if God is going to forgive me my sins the way I forgive others, which is why I prefer to pray for God\u2019s mercy and compassion. For us flawed humans, mercy and com\u00adpassion are important steps on the path to forgiveness: we must embrace the power that comes from the seem\u00adingly meek act of \u201cturning the other cheek.\u201d We need to practice letting go. A further step is to lose our fear of empathy. When we empathize, we find more forgiv\u00adable the things we can imagine ourselves doing. We\u2019ve all had bad days when we\u2019ve done something foolish in traffic because we aren\u2019t paying attention to our sur\u00adroundings. We know what it\u2019s like to be overburdened, overstressed, overtired, overwhelmed, and so we can summon some understanding when we see these short\u00adcomings manifested in others. But we have not all committed murder. Murderers, we agree, commit unforgivable acts: a life taken cannot be given back. We can perhaps picture ourselves in certain specific instances of life-taking: we can understand a drunk driver, whose crime arises from muddled judgment, better than a suicide bomber, whose crime arises from misguided zeal. But the murderers I know, and with whom I have become close, are the most unforgiven people I have ever met.\nNot that all of the inmates who attend the Criminals and Gangmembers Anonymous (CGA) meet\u00adings on Level Two at the state prison where I volunteer are murderers. Some are drug dealers or embezzlers, spouse abusers or chronic thieves. To be honest, I don\u2019t ask. As a volunteer with the Catholic chaplain, I don\u2019t have access to their permanent records, and I don\u2019t really want to know. I am only there as a fellow believ\u00ader, to share the faith journey within the structure of a 12-Step program. The inmates are there, of course, as criminals and gang members who want to begin with Step One, to recognize that their lives have become unmanageable, and so there are no protestations of innocence or of having been framed. But concerning the details of their specific criminal activities, I only know what is freely offered during the meetings: crime and shame and a prevailing acceptance that what they have done cannot possibly be forgiven.\nForgiveness for their crimes, after all, is out of their hands. The people who can forgive them, their victims or the families of victims, often attend the inmates\u2019 parole hearings to make sure that the crime is neither forgotten nor forgiven. And who can blame them? To forgive the most grievous harm of the violent death of a son or a daughter, a husband or a wife, seems impos\u00adsibly superhuman, which is to say, divine. We humans are not capable of such forgiveness, and so we should not even be asked.\nExcept that\u2019s exactly what God asks of us.\nMost inmates neither expect nor even dream of being forgiven by the victims of their crimes, or by their own family members whom they have let down or hurt. To be forgiven by another is out of one\u2019s control, and possibly pie in the sky, which is why, in our meet\u00adings, we focus on forgiving ourselves, and on forgiving those wrongs that have been done to us.\nAnd Lordy, have some of these men been harmed. From inmates I have heard the most heartstopping sto\u00adries of bad and neglectful parenting, the most horrific tales of brutality by authorities, that I have ever imag\u00adined. Some of these men have been so physically, emo\u00adtionally, spiritually, and psychologically abused that it has long been an act of bravery just to get up in the morning. These stories, oddly enough, are usually offered not as excuses for criminal behavior, but under the broad category of \u201cThings That Suck.\u201d An absent father, a drug-addicted mother, a fist-happy cop: they just suck, man. It is a moment of shining grace to watch a person realize that these are actually terrible injus\u00adtices done to him that he has the power to forgive. To realize that the Things That Suck can be forgiven and must be forgiven if one is to move forward in the quest to change. And that bestowing forgiveness is liberating, invigorating, and life-altering: true grace from a stead\u00adfast God.\nForgiving themselves is much harder.\nI once heard Sister Helen Prejean speak about how we rationalize our inclination to classify inmates as less-than-human, which then makes it okay to deprive them of their human dignity. Imagine, she said, the worst thing you have ever done in your life. Call to mind the thing you did whose memory makes you the most ashamed, embarrassed, or regretful. Hold it in your mind, even though you\u2019d rather not. Now imagine that that thing is the only definition the world accepts or understands of who you are. Nothing else about you is known or matters one bit. That, she said, is often what it is like to be a convicted criminal in our socie\u00adty. There are no second chances for you in people\u2019s minds, no mitigating circumstances, no pity, and some\u00adtimes no true justice. You remain unforgiven.\nSo imagine, further, that your permanent record of the wrongs you have done to others over the years accompanies you everywhere you go: the time you cheated on a geography test in fifth grade, the time you stole a magazine because it had a picture of a hot movie star that you wanted, the time you told everyone it was Elliott who spilled the beans about who pulled the fire alarm\u2014not you\u2014and labeled Elliott as a snitch forever, the time you didn\u2019t pick up the phone even though you knew it was your mother, the time you \u201cforgot\u201d to declare some extra income on your federal tax return; all the times you hurt feelings or broke rules or behaved badly. You know you are more than the sum of these things, that you are not the same person who did those things, that you have learned many lessons from many mistakes, but society insists on defining you by your permanent record. Even worse, the kid whose test you copied, the store owner you stole from, Elliott himself, the IRS auditor, even your own mother, show up peri\u00adodically to testify to your badness, to make sure that people you\u2019ve met since those times know exactly what you\u2019ve done and also condemn you for all of it.\nTalk about Things That Suck. Just the imagining leaves me breathless.\nMany convicts have been conditioned to think of themselves as chronically unforgivable, by their victims, by their families, by their society. They think of being unforgiven as sort of their natural state. Some of them are convinced that the things they have done are so wrong that not even God could forgive them. The ghosts of their victims sometimes seem to be sitting next to them during our meetings, their hands folded, their breath stilled. So the men don\u2019t really see the point of forgiving themselves. It reeks of a self-indul\u00adgent, Oprah-like, empty ritual that has no application to them. They are bad. \u201cNothing good ever come of my life, you know what I\u2019m saying?\u201d a young man asked me recently. I knew it was a rhetorical question, since it punctuated every single one of his sentences, but I thought, \u201cNo. No, I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re saying, because in spite of your defeated expectations, there is \u2018good come of your life.\u2019 Despite your self-image, there is good in you.\u201d\nWe cannot truly love those whom we cannot forgive, and that includes ourselves. Loving ourselves is another of those touchy-feely concepts, but if we fail to love and forgive ourselves, we fail everyone else in our lives. We have to start at home, from scratch, at rock bottom: Do I love myself? Can I love myself? Am I capable of forgiv\u00ading myself? Where do I begin? Am I just trippin\u2019?\nIn our CGA meetings, a good place to start turned out to be the parable of the Prodigal Son. In a roomful of prodigal sons, men whose judgmental older siblings had written them off, but whose mothers often still wrote letters or came to visit, the story of the boy who squan\u00addered his inheritance and ended up glad to have work in a pig sty really resonated. The boy who did everything wrong, whose behavior was shameful and scandalous, was a sort of Everyman for this audience. But the boy in the story then took the unbelievable chance of opening himself up to his father\u2019s wrath and judgment. He returned home. He figured he had little to lose. He did\u00adn\u2019t expect to be forgiven or welcomed back into the fam\u00adily; he merely requested a shot at a job. His father, of course, celebrated his return with feasting and an out\u00adpouring of love. In his total vulnerability, the boy was able to accept the blanket of forgiveness in which his father wrapped him. He would still face the judgment of others, particularly in the eyes of his older brother, but his father forgave him without question, because his repentance was real, was from his heart. And in his repentance, he found the grace to forgive himself.\nYes. It can be done.\nWhen we forgive ourselves for wrongs that we own, a small miracle happens. We learn how to pass on for\u00adgiveness to those who have wronged us. Because we have been there, we empathize with those who need our forgiveness. And we recognize that there is tremendous grace on both sides of the act of forgiveness. We are free to move to the next level of righting wrongs, which is restitution (and another topic for another time). As for\u00adgiveness becomes easier, it also seems as essential as breath, as water, as bread, to life. It\u2019s just that some of us have to go to prison to learn this. To get this.\nLIVING FORGIVENESS ON THE OUTSIDE\nIn truth, there remain mountains to climb for CGA members who are not lifers, and who will eventually be returned to their former lives. The radical changes of heart brought about in prison are not easily maintained on the outside. I thought of this recently when I was lis\u00adtening to a reading from the book of Ezra at daily Mass.\n\u201cO my God, I am too ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens. . . . And now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken your commandments . . .\u201d prayed Ezra, at the end of the Babylonian captivity of the Jews (Ezra 9:6,10). Ezra needed to say nothing after this, for the God of steadfast love had already returned the Jews to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and to begin a new life as the holy people of God. There was one small requirement of the men of Israel, however: in order to return to the roots of their faith, they needed to leave their foreign wives and their children behind. The book of Ezra ends with a long list of the names of those men who sent away their families, in obedience to a seemingly harsh God.\nMany inmates can relate to this story. Often, in the quest to begin anew on the outside, they must in effect exile themselves from the world they know. The familiar neighborhoods, habits, friends, and even family mem\u00adbers they left behind when they went to prison are sometimes major contributors to the reasons why they went to prison in the first place. The people and places they know are toxic to the new life they would like to lead. Many inmates become quite fearful as their release date approaches, because they doubt their own power to stick by the changes they have made while in prison. As miserable as life behind bars can be, its regimentation and restrictions can make the straight and narrow path seem like a cakewalk compared to the hazards, tempta\u00adtions, and self-doubt waiting on the outside. The CGA program treats crime as an addiction. The old patterns and rationalizations need to be examined, understood, and discarded. Much like a recovering alcoholic would be smart to stay away from bars, a recovering criminal needs to break away from the lure of potential criminal acts. Which is sometimes the only environment crimi\u00adnals have ever known, and the one in which they will be promptly deposited upon their release from prison. Much like the Israelites at the time of Ezra, the inmate endeavoring to begin anew must place his will in the hands of a loving, yet exacting God.\nIn order not to become a disheartening statistic of recidivism, he will also need his understanding of for\u00adgiveness not to desert him in times of stress or trouble. He will need to cling to his sense of himself as a forgiv\u00aden person, as a beloved child of God. He will need to walk in a new direction, as well as to continue working his steps with a sponsor he trusts. He will need prayer, his own and ours, always.\n\u201cForgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,\u201d we pray, often by rote, but then we must behave in a way that makes that prayer meaning\u00adful. We must actually forgive those who trespass against us, and ask forgiveness of those whom we have hurt, if the \u201cOur Father\u201d is to make any sense at all. We must believe, deeply and passionately, in a God who for\u00adgives. We must trust in a God who extends the possibil\u00adity of redemption to everyone, no matter how long his rap sheet, no matter how unforgivable his crime, no matter how unreachable his heart. To a God who is love, not one of us is unlovable.",

The Lady Ravens put two in the back of the cage before IR came back with a response. A late goal from Chelsea Rogers brought the Indians within one, but they were unable to finish before the final whistle blew.\nA disappointing 2-11-3 record echoed the Indians\u2019 fate this year, but all hope was not lost for first-year head coach Julene Williamson.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not quite the record you want to go out on,\u201d she noted, expressing compassion toward her seven graduating seniors. \u201cIt was a tough one but, overall, the girls really played great, even if the record doesn\u2019t show it.\u201d\nIt took the Lady Indians nearly halfway through the season before they started answering opponents with shots on goal and in the back of the cage. Their first tie of the season came against Polytech, breaking a seven-game losing streak that started off the year. They quickly followed that up with their two wins, first at Lake Forest and then hosting Sussex Central. Near the end of the season, the Lady Indians held opponents Woodbridge and Laurel from scoring, resulting in two more ties.\n\u201cThese girls really came out and played with all their heart,\u201d Williamson added. \u201cThey gave it all they could in every single game but, unfortunately, we just couldn\u2019t get all the goals we needed. These girls have nothing to be ashamed of.\u201d\nWilliamson had acted as the assistant coach in the previous season but plans to return next year, giving the team the second consecutive head coaching staff run in three years.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not easy when you go through coaches as quickly as they had been,\u201d she noted. \u201cI\u2019ve worked with these girls for a few years now. I know who understands what, and that\u2019s going to help us next year.\u201d\nReturning next year, Williamson plans to have a larger crowd coming out for the team but will have some adjusting to do in the backfield.\n\u201cWe\u2019re losing our defense after this year,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019ll really need to rebuild back there. There are going to be some big shoes that need to be filled.\u201d\nIn addition to the unknown newcomers, Williamson said she might experiment and move some positions around \u2013 a strategy that proved efficient just before the team\u2019s first win this season, when the front- and mid-lines adjusted their formation and rotation. She said she hopes that summer clubs and indoor leagues will keep most of the girls who aren\u2019t tied up with other sports moving around in the off-season.\n\u201cFor the most part,\u201d she said, \u201cI think everyone is looking forward to getting back. We can pretty much only go up from here.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Blog \u00bb Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents \u00bb Pedestrian Accidents \u00bb Pedestrian Accident Statistics in Pennsylvania\nWhen it comes to accidents and injuries, those involving a pedestrian are among the most tragic. Yet the prevalence of pedestrian accidents in Pennsylvania is high, and innocent people continue to be hurt. The following provides a look into pedestrian accident statistics for the state of Pennsylvania in 2013.\nNumber of Recorded Pedestrian Fatalities and Injuries\nIn 2013, there were 151 pedestrian deaths and an overwhelming 4,413 pedestrian injuries. While fatalities were down from 2012, the number is a large increase from 2009, 2010, and 2011, where pedestrian deaths numbered 136, 148, and 149 respectively (for 2013, the number was 168).\nWhile the number of pedestrian deaths increased, pedestrian injuries slightly decreased in 2013. Of the total number of motor vehicle accidents recorded in Pennsylvania for 2013, 12.3 percent resulted in a pedestrian death.\nAlcohol-involved Pedestrian Accidents\nIn Pennsylvania in 2013, 49 pedestrian deaths involved alcohol. Thirty-two of them, or 65.3 percent, were accidents where the pedestrian was, or had been, drinking at the time of accident. Seventeen of the pedestrian deaths involving alcohol, or 34.7 percent, were accidents where the driver of the vehicle involved was intoxicated.\nCrash-related Pedestrian Actions\nThe vast majority of pedestrians involved in 2013 pedestrian-related accidents were entering a crossing zone at the time of accident. These pedestrians account for 35.7 percent of pedestrian accidents that year. The second most common actions occurring at the time of accident were a pedestrian walking, jogging, running, or playing which accounted for 30.6 percent of pedestrian accidents. Finally, roughly four percent of pedestrians were just standing at the time of accident. \u201cAll others,\u201d as stated by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, account for 29.1 percent of accidents.\nIf You\u2019ve Been in a Pedestrian Accident\nIf you\u2019ve been in a pedestrian accident in the state of Pennsylvania, or have lost a loved one because of the actions of a negligent driver, the attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC, can help.\nIf you need to file a lawsuit for damages, contact our attorneys now \u2013 Pennsylvania Constitutional Statutes section 5524 only provides you two years from the date of the pedestrian accident to take legal action.

        "raw_content": "Marxist IQ: What is the \u201cDemocratic Revolution?\u201d\nHome > Article > Marxist IQ: What is the \u201cDemocratic Revolution?\u201d\n\u201cWhoever wants to reach Socialism by a different road, other than that of political democracy, will inevitably arrive at conclusions that are absurd and reactionary both in the economic and the political sense.\u201d Such was Lenin\u2019s concise explanation of why the Russian working class had to join the struggle for democracy in 1905\u2013a struggle that would require it to work alongside democratic forces from the bourgeoisie. Here\u2019s a quiz on Lenin\u2019s Two Tactics of Social Democracy in the Democratic Revolution and what lessons it has for us today.\n1. Lenin wrote Two Tactics in 1905, during a period of insurrection against the autocratic regime of Tsar Nicolas II \u2013 a period that offers many parallels to our own. Which of these features of the tsarist autocracy is NOT a defining feature of the Trump-GOP regime in the United States?\na. Strong support from reactionary religious organizations, who represented the ruler as chosen by God;\nb. State policy based on national chauvinism and persecution of national minorities;\nc. Heriditary transfer of power;\nd. A ruler who claimed that his decrees were the will of the people, who spoke through him;\ne. Ultra-conservative groups using violence, and threats of violence, against opponents of the regime.\n2. Lenin refers to the outbreak of the 1905 revolution as a democratic revolution, rather than a socialist one. What are the main aims of a democratic revolution?\na. Popular sovereignty vested in a government elected via universal suffrage;\nb. Democratization of the economy;\nc. Legal and political equality for all citizens;\nd. All of the above;\ne. (A) and (C), but not (B).\n3. In Marxist thought the \u201cdemocratic revolution\u201d refers to:\na. The bourgeois democratic revolutions of 1776 in the U. S. and after 1848 in Europe;\nb. The epoch of the establishment of capitalist socioeconomic formation and the transition from capitalism to socialism worldwide;\nc. Bernie Sanders \u201cOur Revolution\u201d and the struggle to defeat the Establishment;\nd. The establishment of the constitutional republic and universal suffrage.\n4. One of the questions examined in Two Tactics is the political independence of the working class, and how to win it. How do we measure the political independence of the working class?\na. By its ability to shape the broad social movements in which it participates;\nb. By its refusal to compromise its integrity through coalition work;\nc. By how ready the masses seem to reject \u2018politics as usual\u2019;\nd. By splits between rank-and-file and leadership in trade unions;\ne. By whether or not the Communist Party proclaims that independence.\n5. In Two Tactics, Lenin consistently warns about demands that sound radical, but actually concede power to the bourgeoisie. All of the following, except one, are radical-sounding positions that actually weaken the working class. Which one of these positions accurately represents the interests of the working class?\na. Voting just gives legitimacy to this rotten system! Withhold your vote and it will fall!\nb. Only a united, organized, politically disciplined working class can overthrow capitalism;\nc. The hypocrisy of the Democrats is just as dangerous as the openly reactionary agenda of the Republicans;\nd. Right now, the most important thing is to run our own (Communist) candidates, to educate workers about their real interests;\ne. Maybe Trump\u2019s victory was a good thing, since it shows workers how brutal and violent capitalism really is. People are finally waking up!\n6. In the US the democratic revolution\u2019s main content was completed by:\na. The defeat of the British;\nb. The defeat of the Confederacy and the passing of the 13th, 14th and 15h amendments;\nc. The New Deal;\nd. The victory of women\u2019s suffrage; the Civil Rights Movement beginning with Brown v. Board and the passing of the Fair Housing, and Voting Rights Acts;\ne. The election of Barak Obama.\nCheck your answers here, and register for the webinar on Lenin\u2019s Two Tactics. Sunday, October 14, 8 PM Eastern.",

        "raw_content": "Integrative Medicine Of East Texas\nProbably in the medical field nothing is as controversial as alternative therapies and medicine in general. In the perspective of medical practitioners as well as the general public, alternative medicine implies health care techniques or methods that are generally not well received and frequently doubted. This usually means that they define holistic medicine as usually homeopathy, adherence to the single right way to feed your pet (note my inability to remove tongue from cheek) and strict avoidance of vaccines and drugs. Problems falling through the cracks\u201d between mind, body and spirit is a common failure of Western medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners (TCM) will check pulses and your tongue.\nAlternative approach: In the holistic or alternative method of treatment, health is seen as a balance of the body\u2019s emotional, mental and spiritual states. Whole grains, organically grown vegetables, fish, and whole grain-fed beef, lamb, or chicken are highly recommended to give dogs the energy and vital nutrients they need to thrive.\nIf a patient is being treated with allopathic medicine, holistic therapies may at least support the body during treatment, and alleviate the symptoms that often come with drug treatments and surgery. In United States, about one-third adults prefer complimentary and alternative medicine. With holistic medicine it is also believed that diet and nutrition has a significant impact on pain and inflammation. In Germany, half of the doctors write herbs, an office of alternative medicines.\nCheck in with natural and holistic health care professionals like local naturopathic doctors, homeopaths, herbalists or acupuncturists for help. It would seem that after the above explanations, alternative medicine is superior to conventional medicine. Unlike conventional medicine, holistic medicine does not use drugs, chemicals, chemotherapy, or other treatments that harm the system. Massage Therapy Schools: Massage therapy schools are widespread, partly due to the career\u2019s growing popularity in mainstream medicine. Trigger point therapy is another modality of holistic medical care used to relieve pain in dogs. While holistic treatments may take away some of the symptoms traditional medicine have, it should not be a substitute for medical advice.\nA friend of mine who is a percussionist was just telling me that when he had an issue with carpel tunnel the doctors wanted him to have surgery. Now-a-days, Holistic Medicine has become a widely accepted method of health care a nutshell, Holistic Medicine is inspired from the theory of Holism (Wholism) that prefers the individuals a whole and denies to deal with them part by part.\nTags: integrative, medicine, texas",

        "title": "Daniel Williams - Texas: Race for Chisum's House Seat Heating Up",
        "raw_content": "The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports that Canadian, TX School Board President Ken King has announced he will enter the Republican primary for Texas House district 88, currently represented by Warren Chisum (R-Pampa). During the closing hours of the 82nd Legislature's special session, Chisum announced he would be leaving the post, which he has held for 22 years, to run for Railroad Commissioner. You may remember Chisum as the architect of Texas' version of the so-called \"Defense of Marriage Act\" barring recognition of same-sex marriage in Texas.\nKing (not to be confused withe the Polyester actor of the same name), has a key ally in his fellow school board member, and successful commodities trader, Salem Abraham. Abraham, grandson of the late Rep. Malouf Abraham (R-Canadian), has already formed a political action committee to support King's candidacy. His considerable resources, both as a successful trader and as an heir to his grandfather's oil and natural gas fortune, and his prominence as a local philanthropist in Canadian make Abraham's support invaluable.\n(Incidentally, The Canadian School District Student Code of Conduct expressly prohibits students from engaging in verbal abuse that involves \"ethnic or racial slurs,\" but has no similar protections for abuse based on sexual orientation or gender identity and expression. It will be interesting to see whether the school board avails itself of the anti-bullying resources that will now be available to it under HB 1942 (82-R) - the \"super\" anti-bullying bill passed this spring.)\nJim Landtroop\nKing will face freshman Rep. Jim Landtroop (R-Plainview), who currently represents district 85. After the Legislature redrew the district borders this spring Landtroop's home county of Hale was moved to district 88, it is the only county from Landtroop's previous 16 county district in the new district 88. Landtroop is a proven fundraising powerhouse. He raised over 1 million dollars during the last election cycle in his successful bid to unseat Joe Heflin (R-Crosbyton).\nAs a member of the 82nd Texas Legislature Landtroop initially supported HB 1942 (the \"super\" anti-bullying bill) before switching his position on the bill's final House vote. He also supported HB 1386 the teen suicide prevention bill. Unfortunately Landtroop's limited support for anti-bullying efforts is strongly outweighed by his positions on overtly homophobic legislation. He was a co-author of HCR 110, Paul Workman's (R-Austin) ill conceived attempt to pressure the Obama administration to defend section 3 of the federal \"Defense of Marriage Act\" in court. (Section 3 of DOMA prohibits the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages from jurisdictions that permits them.) He also consistently supported Wayne Christian's (R-Center) legislation to either defund or outright ban LGBT resource centers from Texas college campuses.\nAlso in the race is former Representative Gary Walker (R-Plains) who represented district 80 from 1997 to 2003 before redistricting forced him to run in the primary against Delwin Jones (R-Lubbock), Walker lost the race. Walker was one of just 13 House Republicans (along with Chisum) who voted for the James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Act, which provides a mechanism for enhanced penalties for some crimes committed biased on a bias against the victims real or perceived \"sexual preference.\"\nDistrict 88 is strongly Republican (since Chisum switched to the Republican Party in 1995 no Democrat has run in the district), so the winner of next spring's Republican primary is all but certain to win the seat. Under the new House maps District 88 cuts an enormous 17 county swath across the Texas panhandle. The three candidates: Landtroop, King and Walker, are distributed from one end of the district to the other. Between Landtroop's proven fundraising skills; King's backing by Abraham and the sheer challenges of campaigning over such vast geography, this could easily become the most expensive primary of the 2012 House election season.\nThe New District 88 with Candidate's Home Towns\nView House District 88 in a larger map (locations are approximate)\nPosted by Daniel Williams at Wednesday, August 24, 2011\nLabels: Bullying, Gary Walker, House District 88, James Byrd Jr., Jim Landtroop, Ken King, Malouf Abraham, Salem Abraham, Warren Chisum\nUgg, sounds like we might get another homophobe in office. :(\nI believe you'll find that Landtroop defeated Democratic Rep. Joe Heflin, not Delwin Jones. He raised a lot of money because it was a district that was drawn R but being held by a D, so a lot of outside conservative groups thought it was a smart bet to support the R as the seat was pretty likely to flip. He may not receive that great support again in a district that will elect an R no matter what, however he may have the advantage of being a \"friendly incumbent\" to the lobby.\nDaniel Williams August 24, 2011 at 2:48 PM\nThank you for the correction - I have updated the post",

This happens in every business and every market \u2013 cashflow, income, exit strategies, competition, capability all feed into the pressure and real day to day issues that need to be addressed and sometimes focus moves from what is right for the client to what is needed for your business.\nTo me this suggests that agencies are only interested in what is right for them and not the client, that they only see their services and value in a slim spectrum (i.e. delivering online solutions) and they are under pressure to churn out work. This is, I think a result of short-term, narrow minded strategies on behalf of agencies who are either so busy that they can\u2019t look up from their desks or they are so focused on exit strategies that they are concentrating only on generating figures for due diligence checks.\nIt\u2019s understandable, right? In all seriousness, you cannot get a front-end developer to be able to understand the core business and logistics imperatives for order processing, an account manager to focus on the investment strategy within which digital is simply one line or (as it stands today) can you expect a UX professional to be able to understand the entire end to end customer experiences (online and offline) \u2013 although they should and I write about that constantly \u2013 most recently here.\nAgencies and their management teams mustn\u2019t forget that they have created and run businesses themselves \u2013 they understand the pitfalls, risks and opportunities that creating and managing a business in the digital world involves \u2013 they are much better positioned that some of the consultancy firms that we see muscling in on the digital and creative market today.

        "raw_content": "Ah, hello blog friends. I feel like it has been so long since the last time I wrote a post, probably because it has been a while. I've been busy lately studying for and taking the GRE, working on several class projects, taking exams, and a whole lot of other stuff that needs to get done. I'm also trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, grad school or job and what major and where and a whole lot of other questions that I'm not sure of the answer right now. I should write a whole post on that.\nAnywho, I thought I would write a post appropriate for my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is so wonderful to me because the food, our whole family gets together without the stresses that accompany Christmas, the food, and people are generally in higher spirits as they remember to be thankful, and did I mention I love the food? But in all seriousness, it is a wonderful holiday. I thought I would make a list today of some of the things that I am thankful for, in list format none the less.\n1. I am thankful that I get to spend the holidays with my family and extended family. I am fortunate enough to have 3 grandparents to also spend holidays with, and I also pray that God will keep him here for many more years.\n2. I am thankful that I have a loving and supportive family. Throughout my life they have encouraged me and been there for me numerous times. I know that they will continue to support me no matter what I choose do.\n3. I am thankful to have a wonderful best friend/boyfriend. I couldn't say enough about Matt if I tried. He's helped me through a lot and is almost always the person I run to when I need help. He also loves to dance, I know ladies, you are jealous.\n4. I am thankful for my health and the health of my friends and family. I hope that this can continue for a long time.\n5. I am thankful for the many opportunities I have had in my life. Opportunities to learn more, to travel, to experience new things, to be challenged in new ways. Many of these opportunities have been the result of efforts of my parents, but others have also added to my opportunities.\n6. I am thankful for the many friends I have made over the years, both new and old, near and far. I never imagined I would have met and made so many new friends 5 years ago. I remember when I first moved to Iowa City and I spent the first weekend there alone and crying. I thought I would never be able to meet new people because everyone my age was already settled into there group of friends. It's hard to imagine that I was like that now. So I am thankful for the people who went out of their way to help me out when I first moved to Iowa City, for those who invited me out, who called me, who hung out with me. You are wonderful. I am also thankful for those friends I made at Wartburg, even though I don't get to see you nearly enough you are often in my thoughts.\n7. So the list for my thankfulness goes on and on, but I am going to cut this one off. I am so lucky for the many wonderful people in my life.\nI have some more good ideas for posts so hopefully I will be able to write some more soon.\nHappy Thanksgiving (a day late and a dollar short)!!\nThey called them crazy when they started out. Said...\nPeople join people",

The aim of those questions was to understand the nature of the institution\u2019s operations involving current and former service members, and their families.\nMilitary Times evaluated the responses of 175 universities, factored in information from Veterans Affairs and the Defense Department, as well as information from the College Scorecard data and the Cohort Default Rate Database. Institutions were evaluated based on university culture, academic quality, student support, academic policies, and cost and financial aid.\nECSU stepped up to actively work with military veterans, and active service members and their families last year with the opening of the Veterans Center. According to center director Tim Freeman, the mission of the center is to serve the men and women who have served the nation.\n\u201cWe make sure that they have what they need when they come to ECSU,\u201d said Freeman.\nThe Veterans Center is located in Lester Hall, next to the G.R. Little Library. The center provides military veterans and active duty members with a variety of resources that extend beyond assistance with university matters. Freeman says that at the center, veterans are able to find resources to assist them with benefits that include medical aid, financial aid, and more.\n\u201cWe have a support staff,\u201d says Freeman.\nECSU recently signed a memorandum of agreement with the U.S. Coast Guard that brings the two organizations together to better educate future Coast Guard leaders. The purpose of the memorandum is to strengthen the relationship between ECSU and the Coast Guard, offering educational opportunities to service members.\nOne of those opportunities is the ability to continue receiving an education from ECSU online, an important factor in the life of a service member. Active duty students stationed in Elizabeth City can continue their ECSU education online once they are transferred to a new duty station.\nFreeman says the top 20 ranking ECSU has received from the Military Times reflects those services. Many of the service members enrolled at ECSU, says Freeman, are taking courses online.\n\u201cThey get all the help they need to reach those goals,\u201d says Freeman of the services provided by ECSU.\nECSU has also been ranked for the third year in a row in the top 20 HBCUs in the nation by US News and World Report. ECSU has also been ranked No. 18 out of 50 of the top HBCUs in the country by CollegeChoice.net; ranked No. 1 for the fourth consecutive year on Washington Monthly\u2019s list of \u201cBest Baccalaureate Colleges.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Manufacturers : Microelectronics : Microprocessors : Embedded systems\nEmbedded systems are devices used to control, monitor or assist the operation of equipment, machinery or larger systems. In electronics industry, numerous devices have been designed having a some sort of microprocessor or a corresponding processor as the basic functional component. This processor can be positioned in connection with a microcontroller, wherein it has some peripherals positioned in the same microchip. These devices are also called an embedded system. The term \"embedded\" reflects the fact that these components are an integral part of the overall system. Embedded systems generally are developed around custom hardware, require high quality and reliability, and frequently deal with real-time or multi-tasking environments for specific applications. Embedded computer systems typically include a processor to run the code, a non-volatile memory to store the code, and a volatile memory to store data and temporary information the code uses. In most systems the volatile memory is random access memory (RAM) and the non-volatile memory is programmable read only memory (PROM). An embedded computer system is a computer which is physically embedded within a larger system and whose primary purpose is to maintain some property or relationship between the other components of the system in order to achieve the overall system objective. Embedded systems are now used in a wide variety of systems, such as aircraft, automobiles, appliances, weapons, medical devices, and computer peripheral devices. Actually, embedded systems include almost any device, which employs a microprocessor and/or a microcontroller and is not directed only to general-purpose computation. Examples of embedded systems may include cellular phones, set-top boxes, and PDA (personal digital assistant) etc.\nListings on Microelectronics : Microprocessors : Embedded systems\naJile Systems Inc.\nProvides complete solutions for embedding Java performance into smart mobile devices, wireless consumer appliances, industrial control, wireless remote sensing, and automotive communication devices over Internet.

The area includes the main portion of the Slocan mining district, the premier polymetallic silver vein mining camp in the province.\nPhysiographically, the map sheet covers the Selkirk Mountains. Slocan Lake is in the western part of the map inset and the communities of New Denver and Silverton are on the east shore of the lake. The inset map is bound to the north by latitude 50 degrees 5 minutes and to the south by latitude 49 degrees 50 minutes, and to the west and east by longitude 117 degrees 30 minutes and 117 degrees, respectively. The map is published at a 1:50,000-scale.\nThe map area is entirely within the Omineca tectonic belt, and lies on the western margin of the Kootenay Arc, mostly in allochthonous rocks of the Quesnel Terrane. Within the Slocan mining camp, the Quesnel Terrane is dominated by very fine grained clastic sedimentary rocks of the Upper Triassic Slocan Group which disconformably overlie the volcanic rocks of the Permian and/or Triassic Kaslo Group in the northeastern part of the map area. The base of the Slocan Group is marked by a conglomerate and sedimentary breccia composed of Kaslo detritus. Overlying the basal conglomerate is a unit consisting of one or more limestone beds up to 30 metres in thickness, intercalated with argillite, phyllite and quartzite. This unit hosts stratabound polymetallic \"replacement\" deposits in the Slocan camp. The upper part of the Slocan Group is composed of argillite, phyllite and quartzite. Near the top of the sequence, strata become tuffaceous passing into metadacite and meta-andesite flows and tuffs. Rocks of the Slocan Group are tightly and disharmonically folded. Early minor folds are tight to isoclinal with moderate east plunging, southeast inclined axial planes. Several fault structures are evident and host mineralization. Later stage normal and thrust faults and shearing have chopped, deformed and remobilized the veins and mineralization. The sedimentary sequence has been regionally metamorphosed to lower greenschist facies and intruded by dikes, sills and stocks of varied composition and origin.\nThe Middle Jurassic Nelson intrusions are immediately south of the Slocan Group and are inferred to be the source of granitic sills and dikes intruded into the Slocan Group rocks. The intrusions comprise at least six texturally and compositionally distinct phases ranging from diorite to lamprophyre. The most dominant phase is a medium to coarse grained potassium feldspar porphyritic granite. Although the Nelson intrusions do not have a large contact aureole, the emplacement of the intrusions likely played an important role in fracturing the overlying sedimentary sequence thereby preparing channels for fluid migration and sulphide deposition. The mineralized veins usually cut early feldspar porphyry dikes associated with the emplacement of the Nelson intrusions, but the veins often follow lamprophyric dikes on their footwall or hangingwall.\nMining has been important in the Slocan area since silver was discovered in the late 1800s. Significant silver, lead and zinc have been produced from polymetallic silver-lead-zinc veins and from polymetallic silver-lead-zinc \"replacement\" deposits hosted in limestone of the Slocan Group. Polymetallic veins have been classified into \"wet ore\" or \"dry ore\" types by Cairnes (1934) and others. The \"wet ore\" types are the most important type in this area. They typically have abundant galena and sphalerite associated with silver-rich sulphide minerals. Gangue minerals, consisting chiefly of quartz and siderite, are vertically zoned as exemplified in such past producers as the Silvana (082FNW050) and the Mammoth (082FNW060). Galena is typically abundant in the upper portions, while sphalerite is associated with the siderite-rich zone; the lower quartz-rich zone is usually barren. The Hewitt (082FNW065) and Van Roi (082FNW064) are examples of the \"dry ore\" type. The \"dry ore\" contain abundant quartz and the silver-bearing minerals are commonly argentite, tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite and native silver. Galena and sphalerite are of minor importance. The limestone-hosted \"replacement\" deposits are typically rich in sphalerite and low in silver. Quartz is the predominant gangue mineral and is more abundant than ore minerals. Controls on ore deposition are enigmatic. However, the following factors are thought to be important: (1) favourability of competent wallrock lithologies, (2) crossfractures consisting of joints, conjugate shear planes, tension cracks or linking fractures, and (3) the absence of strong gouge (Hedley, 1952). Larger orebodies tend to be oriented oblique to the main direction of fault movement.\nSignificant past producers include Silvana, Standard (082FNW180), Mammoth and Ruth-Hope (082FNW052). The Silvana is one of the more recent producers of the area; the mine produced 510,964 tonnes between 1913 and 1993 yielding about 243 tonnes of silver, 28,691 tonnes of lead, 26,300 tonnes of zinc and 72 tonnes of cadmium. Total reserves at the Silvana and Hinckley (082FNW013) were calculated at 54,400 tonnes grading 290 grams per tonne silver, 3.4 per cent lead and 4.7 per cent zinc in April 1993. The Standard mine was one of the most prolific producers of the Slocan camp. It produced 746,235 tonnes between 1894 and 1969 yielding about 278 tonnes of silver, 39,690 tonnes of lead, 49,361 tonnes of zinc, 62 tonnes of cadmium and 20 kilograms of gold. The mine was on the same vein system as the Mammoth mine which produced 63,865 tonnes yielding about 26 tonnes of silver, 2622 tonnes of lead, 4158 tonnes of zinc, 20 tonnes of cadmium, 46 kilograms of copper and 3.6 kilograms of gold. The Ruth-Hope deposit was one of the earliest producers in the camp. Production began in 1895 and was intermittent until 1962 producing 60,575 tonnes which yielded about 77 tonnes of silver, 7.7 kilograms of gold, 1 tonne of cadmium, 10,122 tonnes of lead and 1606 tonnes of zinc. The deposit is part of a continuous vein system that has been mined for about a 1.5-kilometre strike length and includes the Silversmith (082FNW053), Slocan King (082FNW196) and Richmond-Eureka (082FNW054) deposits.\nThe area has excellent potential of hosting new polymetallic silver-lead-zinc deposits, but these will likely be of similar size to the past producing mines. The potential of locating tin-tungsten skarn deposits associated with the contact aureole of the Nelson intrusions does not appear to have been explored in detail. Cassiterite has been identified at the Bosun (082FNW003) and scheelite has been identified at the Flint deposit (082FNW083).\nSELECTED REGIONAL REFERENCES (082K03, F14 - SLOCAN CAMP)\nBillingsley, P.

        "raw_content": "Notes from Rainmakers\nOne of my favorite stories from a rainmaker: when he was a young associate at a well-regarded firm, the managing partner sat him down one day and told him: son, you will never have to worry about bringing in clients. It is my job to be the rainmaker. I take care of my team. Later that day, the managing partner fired half the firm. That was the moment the rainmaker realized that his book of business was his own responsibility and was not to be left in the hands of others. He went out and started networking and never looked back. Today, he is the managing partner at a successful law firm.\nHere's what I've heard from other rainmakers:\nThere is no substitute for being a great lawyer. Expertise and client service are non-negotiable - you must deliver results.\nBe friendly. People want to work with people they like. No one wants to work with a jerk. You want people to respect and like you.\nIf you're not failing, you're not succeeding. Not every pitch will be successful and that's ok. By failing, we figure out how to improve. It's part of the process.\nDig your well before you're thirsty. In other words, stay in touch with your network. Send birthday wishes. Follow up when nothing's going on. That way, when the time comes, your relationship is already established.\nDon't just do the work. Cultivate relationships with your clients and make it easy for them to want to work with you. Doing the work is necessary, but it's not sufficient. Be your client's point person by keeping him or her happy and up to date on the matter.\nTake a long view and remember that rainmaking is a journey. A long term perspective is required when developing relationships with clients and colleagues at your firm. Ultimately these will pay off - we promise.",

        "raw_content": "In my experience, there are plenty of good reasons we struggle with setting boundaries. Most of us are taught some pretty messed up stuff about them. We\u2019re taught to put others first, even at a detriment to ourselves. We\u2019re taught that we need to keep things smooth at the surface, even when that means underlying issues go unaddressed. We\u2019re taught to be polite and deferential. We\u2019re not taught how to listen to our needs, let alone speak them.\nWe\u2019re taught these things so completely from such a young age that it\u2019s hard not to believe them. The ideas given to us by someone else can start to feel like our own.\nSo, once more \u2013 take a deep breath. Remember that it\u2019s not your fault. And even more, we can work on believing something different about our boundaries. Like that we\u2019re allowed to have them, as a start. And that doing so doesn\u2019t make us rude, selfish, or wrong.\nI've created a PDF with 5 more affirming beliefs you can play with about boundaries. Try them on. See how they fit. Create your own, if you like.\nAll you have to do is sign up for my newsletter and you'll instantly get a copy of this free PDF. From there, I send out emails about a dozen times a year with handy guides I've created, information about the latest groups I'm offering, news about community resources, and a curated collection of the best articles and resources related to mental health from a feminist counselling perspective.

        "raw_content": "\"It is well known that there are four kinds of monks. The first kind is that of Cenobites, that is, the monastic, who live under a rule and an Abbot.\nThe second kind is that of Anchorites, or Hermits, that is, of those who, no longer in the first fervor of their conversion, but taught by long monastic practice and the help of many brethren, have already learned to fight against the devil; and going forth from the rank of their brethren well trained for single combat in the desert, they are able, with the help of God, to cope single-handed without the help of others, against the vices of the flesh and evil thoughts.\" - Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 1.\nWe who live in the United States are immersed in a culture of individualism. Take a look at our cultural heros and myths. Among them you'll find the cowboy, the lone wanderer on the range and the frontiersman, the person pushing the borders of the country outward but who will not tolerate civilization, or the gun fighter, the ruthless, or heroic, man who makes a stand by himself against all odds. The religious life of our country has the same myths. I have lost count of the people who tell me they worship God in nature. \"I can be more in touch with God in the woods, than in a church.\"\nThe problem is, the myths are false. They place us in situations where we begin to believe that it is bad to depend on others. But the truth is, we are social animals. We find definition in community. It is no accident that among the more barbaric tortures used in the \"war on terror\" isolation is king. When we are isolated we begin to lose our way. Eventually we begin to hallucinate and eventually we can become psychotic.\nIt was not an accident that Benedict spoke of those who lived in isolation as a means of following Christ as ones who had first lived in community. The common rule I have heard is that a monk would only be allowed to live in isolation after being in community for twenty-five years. Only then could they have developed sufficient stability to withstand isolation.\nWhen we allow the myth of seeking God by oneself to flourish we are hurting those who believe it. A frequent cliche is that a fire burns brightly on a hearth. But if you take out a single flaming branch, and put it by itself, the fire in it will go out. As is the case for many cliches there is truth in the statement. The Spirit's fire blazes in us more brightly when we blaze with one another.\nYes, you can encounter God in the forest or in prayer by oneself. But unless that is a reflection of the worship of God in community, it is a pale imitation. If you are seeking God alone, I pray you, begin in the company of others. You can find some of those others at Benedictine abbeys, including St. Benedict's Abbey, http://www.SBAbbey.com.\nMay Christ bless your way and the way you travel with others.",

Media &Ent. L.J. 61 (2019).\nArticle by N. Cameron Russell, Joel R. Reidenberg & Sumyung Moon\nideo game platforms and business models are increasingly built on collection, use, and sharing of personal information for purposes of both functionality and revenue. This paper examines privacy issues and explores data practices, technical specifications, and policy statements of the most popular games and gaming platforms to provide an overview of the current privacy legal landscape for mobile gaming, console gaming, and virtual reality devices. The research observes how modern gaming aligns with information privacy notions and norms and how data practices and technologies specific to gaming may affect users and, in particular, child gamers.\nAfter objectively selecting and analyzing major players in gaming, the research notes the many different ways that game companies collect data from users, including through cameras, sensors, microphones, and other hardware, through platform features for social interaction and user-generated content, and by means of tracking technologies like cookies and beacons. The paper also notes how location and biometric data are collected routinely through game platforms and explores issues specific to mobile gaming and pairing with smartphones and other external hardware devices.\nThe paper concludes that transparency as to gaming companies\u2019 data practices could be much improved, especially regarding sharing with third party affiliates. In addition, the research considers how children\u2019s privacy may be particularly affected while gaming, determining that special attention should be paid to user control mechanisms and privacy settings within games and platforms, that social media and other interactive features create unique privacy and safety concerns for children which require gamer and parent education, and that privacy policy language is often incongruent with age ratings advertised to children and parents. To contribute additional research value and resources, the paper attaches a comprehensive set of appendices, on which the research conclusions are in part based, detailing the technical specifications and privacy policy statements of popular games and gaming platforms for mobile gaming, console gaming, and virtual reality devices.\n*A grant from the Digital Trust Foundation to the Center on Law and Information Policy at the Fordham University School of Law, New York, NY (Fordham CLIP) supported work on this study.

        "raw_content": "French pronunciation is the most difficult aspect of learning French for many students, particularly English speakers. It takes a lot of practice to pronounce French correctly, but if you really want to speak French, good pronunciation is essential.\nA vowel is a sound that is pronounced through the mouth (and, in the case of nasal vowels, the nose) with no obstruction of the lips, tongue, or throat.\nSome general guidelines for the pronunciation of the French vowels\nMost French vowels are pronounced further forward in the mouth than their English counterparts.\nThe tongue must remain tensed throughout the pronunciation of the vowel.\nFrench vowels do not diphthong. In English, vowels tend to be followed by a y sound (after a, e, or i) or a w sound (after o or u). In French, this is not the case - the vowel sound remains constant: it does not change into a y or w sound. Thus the French vowel is a \"purer\" sound than the English vowel.\nA, O, and U are sometimes called hard vowels and E and I are soft vowels, because certain consonants (C, G, S) have a \"hard\" and a \"soft\" pronunciation, depending on which vowel follows.\nVowels followed by M or N are usually nasal. Nasal pronunciation can be very different from the normal pronunciation of each vowel.\nA nasal vowel is a sound made by expelling air through the mouth and nose without obstruction of the lips, tongue, or throat. Nasal pronunciation can be very different from the normal pronunciation of the same vowels.\nAccents may change the pronunciation of vowels.",

        "raw_content": "US Embassy: Former presidents won\u2019t queue for visas\nGhana\u2019s three living former presidents would not have to queue with fellow citizens seeking American Visas for non-official purposes.\nThe Press Attache\u2019 at the United States Embassy in Ghana, Sarah Stealy has clarified.\nThe clarification followed indications that the US government had withdrawn protocol visa allocation to high-level state officials, after the US Ambassador, Robert Jackson met Parliament\u2019s Foreign Affairs Committee last week.\nBut speaking in an interview, Ms Stealy explained that diplomatic courtesies would still be extended to Ghana\u2019s former presidents who embark on personal visits.\n\u201cUnder US law, anybody seeking a non immigrant visa to travel to the United States generally needs to appear in person for an interview with the Consular Officer.\nThat has been the law. Under the law there are also a few exceptions under which the interview may be raised and that includes when diplomats and officials are travelling on official business to the United States but under the law if they are applying for a new visa for personal travel then they may appear in person for the interview.\u201d\nShe said if there were special circumstances such as a former president coming in and the Ambassador mentioned this, that we have procedures to ensure that we extend courtesies to them.\n\u201cThey do not have to queue up,\u201d she explained.\nHowever, Ms Stealy\u2019s position on the issue seems to contradict that of the US Ambassador, Robert Jackson\u2019s assertion.\nExplaining his outfit\u2019s position to members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Parliament on Thursday, after he had earlier written a letter informing Parliament about the decision, Mr Jackson said:\n\u201cAs for the protocol, normally if you are applying for an official travel there is no personal appearance required, so there is no reason for your parliamentary protocol officer to come to the embassy whatever.\u201d\n\u201cThe normal channel will be for him to pass the visas and passport to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, and their protocol people will be permitted to come to the embassy, and we will do everything we can to process those visas within 48 hours of receipt.\nIf you are travelling for tourism or business that is not related to government business, you will be required to make a personal appearance, even with former presidents. There are no exceptions.\u201d\nThis directive follows a similar position taken by the United Kingdom High Commission on the issuance of visas for personal visits after some four Members of Parliament were alleged to have engaged in visa fraud.\nJune 27, 2017 11:21 am - US Embassy: Former presidents won\u2019t queue for visas\nJune 22, 2017 10:54 am - Pupils of Brofoyedru D/A JHS plead for new toilet facility\nJune 22, 2017 10:53 am - EKGS Culinary Institute graduates 105 students\nJune 22, 2017 10:50 am - Stakeholders call for guidelines for distribution of free school uniforms\nJune 22, 2017 10:48 am - The Govt is on course--DCE\nJune 22, 2017 10:46 am - Alabi praises Botchwey C\u2019ttee\nJune 22, 2017 10:45 am - NDC collation system broke down during 2016 polls--Pelpuo\nJune 22, 2017 10:34 am - Egyptian Christians, Muslims share Ramadan despite Islamic violence\nJune 22, 2017 10:32 am - South Sudan no longer in famine\nJune 20, 2017 10:51 am - EFFECT OF THE POLICY RATE CUT BY THE BANK OF GHANA ON THE BANKING INDUSTRY\nUS Embassy: Former presidents won\u2019t queue for visas no comments 27 Jun, 2017\nUS Embassy: Former presidents won\u2019t queue for visas 27 Jun, 2017\nMuslim caucus holds 7th \u2018Night of Power\u2019 27 Jun, 2017\nTHE ROTTEN PLANTAIN SCARE 27 Jun, 2017\nMajority: Free fertiliser distribution was fraught with corruption 27 Jun, 2017\nMan jailed 30 year for defiling girl, 13 27 Jun, 2017\nSelect Month June 2017 (256) May 2017 (274) April 2017 (321) March 2017 (247) February 2017 (424) January 2017 (204) December 2016 (418) November 2016 (548) October 2016 (519) September 2016 (903) August 2016 (930) July 2016 (479) June 2016 (295) May 2016 (152) April 2016 (212) March 2016 (207) February 2016 (128) January 2016 (212) December 2015 (327) November 2015 (317) October 2015 (443) September 2015 (414) August 2015 (538) July 2015 (319) June 2015 (536) May 2015 (517) April 2015 (471) March 2015 (432) February 2015 (262) January 2015 (495) December 2014 (291) November 2014 (343) September 2014 (360) August 2014 (535) July 2014 (378) June 2014 (221) May 2014 (51) April 2014 (61) March 2014 (10) February 2014 (180) January 2014 (162) December 2013 (117) November 2013 (208) October 2013 (143) September 2013 (103) August 2013 (91) July 2013 (105) June 2013 (117)",

        "raw_content": "(HEALTH) EXERCISES TO IMPROVE EYESIGHT\nEXERCISES TO IMPROVE EYESIGHT\nHey Guys, I'm not a medical practitioner but i stumble on this information while trying to help a friend and decided to share it with my precious readers. This might not be for you but someone close might benefit from it. It's about exercising your eyes..\nRead the lady's post below;\nStart with the six muscles holding your eyeballs and controlling their movements. Do circles, 8's, squares, X's, anything you can imagine just to activate and strain these muscles to a comfortable degree. Try to move your eyes past their \"limit\" i.e look through the top of your skull, your jaw, and your cheeks. Gradually increase the frequency and effort involved, you should never feel uncomfortable doing this. You may however get a bit sore as if you've hit the gym for the first time in years. Just let the soreness pass and then go at it again, just like you would with your other muscles.\nThis alone may cause your eyesight to fluctuate and produce clear flashes of perfect clarity. It won't last though unless you keep at it!\nOnce you've strengthened these muscles for maybe a week or so, it's time to start incorporating exercises of the muscles attached to your lenses. Find the furthest (or nearest depending on your ailment) spot that you can focus on. Then find a comfortable spot nearer/further away from it. Simply switch your focus back and forth 20-30 times, keeping it in place for 5 seconds every time before switching back. As your lens muscles get a nice pump going, you'll gradually be able to increase the distance between these two points without straining to see. It will take time! But it's so worth it in the end!\nOther than these exercises, it is important to begin breathing properly and learning to truly relax the muscles in your neck, shoulders, and face. All of this influences your eyesight more than you'd think. Our eyes are still a part of our body and will be affected just like anything else when something's not right.\nSeeing is not all in the eyes, it's a lot in our heads too. With the mindset that you're going to be stuck with contacts or glasses for the rest of your life, chances are you're right.\nI'm not asking you to believe me at first hand, but I do hope you'll give it a try. I'm not trying to sell anything at all here, I'm not giving you just a small piece of my \"secret method\". That's all there's to it for me, and it's making a difference. I've confirmed it numerous times with license number plates on passing cars with the help of my friends, at distances that I shouldn't be able to read them with my myopia. Without squinting, without straining.\nAnd don't forget to just allow your eyes to be the way they are sometimes. They will most likely continue to fluctuate back and forth for a while afterwards. Don't stress it, and keep training.\nYou deserve your eyesight - reclaim it! Best of luck! END\nWOW...That's it guys, if i were you, i'd work on this since am not going to spend a penny doing it #personalopinion\nLeave Comment Below If You Find This Helpful!",

        "raw_content": "Stockman Mystery Deepens\nAuthor Topic: Stockman Mystery Deepens (Read 499 times)\nhttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/01/24/stockman-mystery-deepens.html\nOn Friday, a spokesman for Speaker John Boehner told The Daily Beast that even Boehner hasn't heard from Texas Rep. Steve Stockman.\nNot even John Boehner has any idea where Steve Stockman is.\nSteve Stockman, the Texas congressman and candidate for U.S. Senate against incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, has seemingly disappeared in recent weeks. He has not shown up on Capitol Hill for votes, and save for one appearance at a Tea Party event in North Dallas and a trip to Egypt, has made no public appearances.\nOn Friday, The Daily Beast asked Michael Steel, a Boehner spokesman, whether his boss had received any communication from Stockman about his whereabouts and if he had any idea when or if the Texas congressman might return to Washington for votes. Steel tersely replied \"No.\"\nThe Daily Beast also talked to someone named Richard in Stockman's office. When asked when the last time he had seen Stockman, Richard said, \"I can't disclose that information.\" When pressed for why he couldn't, Richard nervously said \"I just started here.\" The only information that he was authorized to disclose was the House email address for Stockman spokesman Donny Ferguson. According to Richard, Ferguson was not accessible by telephone or any other means of communication. The Daily Beast has repeatedly reached out to Ferguson in recent weeks and he has yet to respond.\nThe Daily Beast also talked to Ken Grubbs, a spokesman for Rep. Oceander Rohrabacher (R-CA) who led the congressional trip to Egypt that Stockman was reportedly on. Grubbs refused to comment on whether Stockman was even in Egypt, let alone whether the Texas Congressman may have continued onwards with Rohrabacher to Israel and Russia on other legs of the trip.\nThe mystery may be solved soon. Late Thursday night, Stockman's campaign twitter account sent out a message \"Where am I? Find out Monday.\" In the meantime, Stockman has missed important votes on Capitol Hill like the recent omnibus budget deal as well as important opportunities to campaign in advance of Texas's rapidly approaching March 4 primary.\nRe: Stockman Mystery Deepens\nVery weird. Wonder what will happen on Monday?\nStockman is a mental case. He had no intention of seriously contending for Cornyn's Senate seat.\nHe wanted the attention. He can only get the attention he wants by being outrageous.\nWhere's Stockman? Very odd behavior, and if he somehow beat Cornyn in the primary, it will ensure a Dem win in a state the should not be lost by the GOP.\nQuote from: Carling on January 25, 2014, 09:07:02 PM\nSteve Stockman is not going to register in double digits in the primary.\nAnd he is the Tea Parties' favorite?",

        "raw_content": "To further increase the efficiencies of its integrated processes, the company added the initial stages of a corn wet milling operation in 1959. This included the steeping, milling, germ separating and oil expelling steps. After engineering and economic studies, the operations were expanded to produce high-quality, unmodified corn starch, commonly known as pearl starch. This system has been in operation since 1960 with several expansions since then. Along the way, the process was expanded to produce a range of acid-modified and oxidized starches. These industrial starches are marketed to the paper, corrugated box, textile, building products, mining and oil well drilling industries.\nIn the early 1960s, GPC began experimental production of its first sweeteners, but it wasn\u2019t until 1969 that the company launched a line of hydrolyzed starch products: MALTRIN\u00ae maltodextrins + corn syrup solids. These products are used in a wide variety of applications in the food, nutraceutical and personal care industries, and the line continues to expand. GPC is the world\u2019s largest, most dependable producer of maltodextrins. With an unmatched product line and the GPC commitment to quality, MALTRIN\u00ae products are the gold standard for the industry. In addition, GPC is a leading supplier of food, nutraceutical and personal care starches.\nGPC\u2019s broadly diversified line of products is mainly derived from corn and includes many products vitally necessary to the animal + pet nutrition industry, such as corn gluten meal, corn gluten feed, SOLULAC\u00ae distillers dried grains and a broad range of feed supplements.\nMALTRIN\u00ae and SOLULAC\u00ae are registered trademarks of Grain Processing Corporation.",

        "raw_content": "Jenson Button, Malaysian GP 2011\nSebastian Vettel (1st, 1:34.870): \"It was a challenging weekend until qualifying today. I was happy with the car, but we never really got into a rhythm. Yesterday wasn't as smooth as we hoped for, but we knew the car had speed, so the main thing was to keep believing in it. In qualifying everything worked out straight away. It was very close in the end with the McLaren guys, so I'm happy to get pole. Big compliments to the guys in the team - especially those working on KERS, they did a lot of work since Australia. If we wouldn't have had it today, we wouldn't be sitting here now, neither me nor Mark, so compliments to the guys - it's a good reward. It's very hot in the garage for the boys during this race, the air is pretty humid, so at least tonight they will get some good sleep ahead of tomorrow.\"\nMark Webber (3rd, 1:35.179): \"I knew it would be very tight; everyone was on a single pace after the first flying lap on the option tyre in Q3. It was pretty straight forward for us; you have to just drive as quick as you can when it's like that. We can't control how tight it is, to get a few tenths more, you have to just do your best. It was a better performance from me today compared to Melbourne and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm starting on the clean side of the grid and it should be an interesting race - I think there will be a lot of pit stops.\"\nChristian Horner, Sporting Director: \"A great team performance today. To get first and third on the grid after a fascinating qualifying session, which was really tight with the McLarens today, is a great start to the weekend. On the final run and under huge pressure, Sebastian delivered just enough to get pole. Mark also improved his time and for the team to take P1 and P3, sets us up well for tomorrow.\"\nCyril Dumont, Renault: \"It was a tough qualifying session, tougher than in Australia I would say. We had to do some set-up work engine-wise in order to improve the car from yesterday, so we're happy it was working well today. We have a one and three again for the start of tomorrow's race, like last year - although then the drivers were the other way round. Hopefully we'll get the same race result too - with a one and two finish.\"\nLewis Hamilton (2nd, 1:34.974): \"That was an almost perfect lap - I lost a tenth-and-a-half in Turn 14 - so we're much closer to the front than we'd anticipated, which is positive for us. I'm really happy to be up on the front row. Hopefully, I'll have a better start than I did in Melbourne, so we can have more of a fight and I'll get a chance to compete with Sebastian at the first corner and for the first couple of laps. It's looking like a three-stop race tomorrow. It's been dry for the past two days, so I hope it's dry tomorrow. Being on the front row certainly helps when it rains, and it also gives us more opportunities to take a step forward. I have no doubt that we can overtake Red Bull in the development battle - it's just a question of when. We have to keep pushing to bring new components to the races; we can push this car to the maximum.\"\nJenson Button (4th, 1:35.200): \"I just wish Q2 had been Q3, but it wasn't! I had a touch more oversteer in Q3, but that's the set-up direction I chose to take. The balance was pretty good, but I hurt the tyres a little bit too much in the final sector, and that left me in fourth. It looks like it's going to be a fun scrap tomorrow - we're a lot closer to the Red Bulls than I think many people expected, and there's a margin over the guys behind us, so hopefully it will be the four of us playing tomorrow. Our starts weren't great in Melbourne. I hope they'll be better in this race; we have a very good KERS Hybrid system, so hopefully it will help us and we can really attack into Turn One. I'm looking forward to tomorrow - the weather has held off for the past two days. And if it's a dry race, we really should be able to take the race to the Red Bulls.\"\nMartin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: \"Both our drivers drove really well this afternoon, Lewis missing out on pole position by a just a tenth of a second and Jenson qualifying extremely close behind in fourth place. Clearly, we're encouraged by our pace here - but there's no magic involved: Formula 1 is all about hard graft, and I want to thank everyone back in Woking for working so hard to achieve the performance improvements that we've seen here today. We think our race pace tomorrow ought to be good enough for us to mount a very serious challenge for victory, and that's certainly what we'll be aiming for. But it'll be close, no doubt about that. Since the race is scheduled to start at 4.00pm, rain is a distinct possibility, because there has been a downpour at that time on quite a few days earlier this week. But we at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes hope it doesn't rain because we think we'll be on the pace if the race is a conventional dry one.\"\nFernando Alonso (5th, 1:35.802): \"We weren't quick enough in Australia and we are not here in Malaysia either, at least not enough to fight for pole position. From what we have seen over these two races, there are two teams who have worked better than us over the winter and clearly we have to make some progress in terms of performance and there is no secret about that: we need to make a step of some quality, we need to be aggressive in our development to make up lost ground. At the same time, we have to stay calm and concentrated and, in the meantime, bring home as many points as possible, exploiting every opportunity that comes our way. The championship is very long and last year, we saw how the situation can change continuously from one race to the next. So, I feel this fifth place is a positive result, because so much could happen tomorrow, especially if it rains. Overnight and this morning after FP3, we improved the set-up of the car and I felt more comfortable than yesterday. I will start from the clean side of the track, which is never a bad thing. It's difficult to make predictions for the race: yesterday we saw very high tyre degradation, so we can expect three to four stops. On Sunday in Melbourne, our pace was close to that of the McLarens and I was able to fight with Webber, but there in qualifying, McLaren was closer than they are here.\"\nFelipe Massa (7th, 1:36.251): \"It was definitely not an easy qualifying, especially looking at the times the top four were able to do. We fought with the others but clearly, compared to the best, tomorrow, we will be running a defensive race. From a strategy point of view, if it's dry we can expect three or four stops. If it really rained, then anything could happen and we will have to be ready for any eventuality. Today, the best result we could hope for was fifth: I was not able to do that, partly because I did not do a perfect lap, but at least I will start from the clean side of the track. We know we lack aerodynamic downforce: we are working on it, but only when we have made some progress will we be able to fight for the top places.\"\nStefano Domenicali, Team Principal: \"We know that, at the moment, we are not capable of fighting for pole position: two teams are currently quicker than us. Our aim therefore was to be right behind them on the starting grid tomorrow and we managed to do that. Sure, we cannot be pleased with being a second off the pole time, but at the moment we have to be on the defensive, if I can use a footballing metaphor. The forecast is for changeable conditions tomorrow, which could mix things up. Furthermore, this is a very tough race both for the cars and the drivers. If we do everything well in terms of strategy, reliability and the work of the team and drivers, then we can aspire to securing a good result.\"\nPat Fry: \"We are where we deserve to be at the moment, with two teams being more competitive than us. In qualifying, we worked well, making the most of our potential. We are a long way off the top, a second in fact and we are well aware that we have to improve a lot to be where the Scuderia ought to be. We opted to use one set of soft tyres right from Q1, because with the performance difference between the two types of tyre being much bigger than last year, there is no point in taking any risks at this time. Clearly, this choice worked against us in Q3, when both drivers were only able to do one timed run with the last set available, but at the moment, this is the best strategy. There is a high chance of rain tomorrow and we are well aware that, here in Sepang, that can mean there is a risk of a very heavy storm. We will have to be very careful to ensure we make the right decision at the right time.\"\nNico Rosberg (9th, 1:36.809): \"The team have made some good progress here and I had a decent balance up to Q2 today. Unfortunately I lost that feeling in Q3, which combined with the rear wing issue, meant we weren't able to get the performance out of the car which is frustrating. The car is better than we have been able to show so far this season but we don't know exactly why we are not getting more performance at the moment. We need to look into today's issues now and have a good think to see what can help us improve in the race tomorrow.\"\nMichael Schumacher (11th, 1:37.035): \"We had some issues with the rear wing activation today and unfortunately that's what compromised my last run in Q2. The car became difficult to drive, which is a real shame as it had been working very well during the earlier runs. The performance was much better with the wing, so of course we had to use it, and I would still say that we have made a step forward thanks to the hard work from our guys. We now have to concentrate on tomorrow's race which we go into with the firm belief that anything can be possible.\"\nRoss Brawn, Team Principal: \"We had a difficult qualifying session today. We're still struggling with the consistency of the car and are not giving Nico and Michael the best chance to show what they could achieve. There are times when the car is working well and the pace is evident, however there are too many occasions where things are not functioning properly. We're quite clearly not where we want to be but will continue to work hard to achieve a more competitive position. It will be a challenging race tomorrow, unless the weather or other events play a part in creating opportunities.\"\nNorbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: \"Ninth and eleventh positions on the fifth and sixth row of the grid are not the results that we have been aiming for. The team have worked very hard to set the cars up this weekend, however we clearly still have work to do: Nico's Q2 time was more than four tenths faster than the time he achieved in Q3 owing to an inconsistency of the rear wing, so there is more potential in the car. Our KERS system, which caused problems during the practice sessions and the race in Melbourne, has worked well and reliably so far. Everybody in our team is motivated to make the next steps in order to improve our package. Even though this task is challenging, I am sure that together we will achieve it.\"\nNick Heidfeld (6th, 1:36.124): \"I'm very satisfied as I think it's the maximum we could have achieved, especially looking back at Friday where we didn't do many laps at all and didn't have a lot of time to set up the car. It got faster and faster in qualifying today, but I have to say in Q1 I took it easy then I pushed a bit over the limit in Q2 and lost some time there, but in Q3 I found the golden middle and it was a good lap. Of course, I was a lot happier with the traffic here than I was in Australia.\"\nVitaly Petrov (8th, 1:36.324): \"To get in the top ten today is a good result considering the track time we lost yesterday. We worked hard on improving the set-up in final practice and in the end I had quite a good feeling with the car. For the race, anything can happen, but it's clear that looking after the tyres will be very important because the degradation is very high here. We will also have to watch what happens with the weather because there is a high risk of rain. I don't mind if it's wet or dry.\"\nJames Allison, Technical Director: \"We can expect lots of pit action tomorrow. We certainly had a troubled day yesterday, but there was no reason to believe from yesterday's running that the car was struggling for pace so it's very nice to be sixth and eighth on the grid, very nice to have both our cars in the top ten only having had one in Melbourne. It will do if we make a good start as both drivers are already in points-scoring positions. However, if we want to convert a promising qualifying into something very good then we're going to have to do well in what is certainly going to be an interesting race, whether that's with the risk of rain which is more than moderate and also with the fact that there's going to be a flurry of pit-stopping. That's one of the things we have less of a feeling for than maybe some of our competitors because of yesterday's compromised running. However, from what little high fuel running we did manage yesterday, we seemed to be alright for our race pace even with a car balance which was far from satisfactory. However, with the balance we've achieved today, we believe the car will run well on its tyres tomorrow.\"\nRubens Barrichello (15th, 1:37.496): \"We don't seem to have the pace we need in qualifying. We were stronger in Melbourne and so we need to analyse why and see where we are in the race. All things considered, my lap was ok, in fact it was probably one of my best laps around Malaysia but it wasn't good enough to counteract the performance of the car today. Whether we get rain or a steady run in a dry race we'll be going for points.\"\nPastor Maldonado (18th, 1:38.276): \"That was a difficult session and we definitely didn't expect to be out in Q1. The car wasn't feeling as good as it was this morning. I had a bit of traffic as well so I didn't get a clean lap. We have a lot of tyres now for tomorrow and the car goes better on long runs than it does in qualifying. With a good strategy who knows what will happen. There's no reason why we can't get into the points.\"\nSam Michael, Technical Director: \"That certainly wasn't the qualifying session we were aiming for, but we struggled to get more out of the FW33 today. Tomorrow's race will be interesting, whether that's due to potentially wet weather or the number of pitstops made in the dry. Our focus is to score points.\"\nPaul di Resta (14th, 1:37.370): \"It was a very good job done by the team and equally, I think it was a very good lap by myself! We got more than I think we thought we were going to get out of it and I think that we have certainly closed the gap. But tomorrow is going to be a long race, in tricky weather conditions, but I am certainly getting more excited now about our progress with regard to improving our performance in the future.\"\nAdrian Sutil (17th, 1:37.593): \"The first qualifying session was not too bad I think and I felt quite positive. But we did not improve too much in the second session, which I was a little surprised about and we had a problem with a mis-shift. But I know the team is working hard to try and solve these issues before the race tomorrow.\"\nDominic Harlow, Chief Race Engineer: \"Our aim was to maximise our qualifying performance whilst only using the option tyre when necessary. Fortunately neither driver was affected by the Red Flag midway through the first session, and both drivers progressed to Q2. As we showed at the last race, we can score points from these positions given how close things are throughout the pack. Unfortunately Adrian had a mis-shift that cost him a better lap in Q2. We'll be looking for a solid race to take advantage of the opportunities that are bound to arise in tomorrow's conditions. With some more development over the coming events and Q3 only a few tenths away, we'll be working as hard as we can to improve on these positions in future and become regular Q3 material.\"\nKamui Kobayashi (10th, 1:36.820): \"I'm quite happy with today's qualifying. Of course I was hoping to improve a bit on my very last run, especially as, unlike in Melbourne, I had a set of new soft tyres left. But I think there wasn't more to get out of the car today. Nevertheless the team had done a very good job improving it after some problems yesterday. We found some things overnight, in free practice this morning we still struggled a bit, but then we knew what to do. It was here in Sepang last year where I reached Q3 for the first time in my F1 career. The race will be very interesting, especially in terms of tyre degradation in the heat. I am certainly aiming for points.\"\nSergio Perez (16th, 1:37.528): \"I am a bit disappointed because we had the potential for Q3 if I had got my final lap right. On my second run in Q2 I was caught in traffic on my out lap. On the flying lap sectors one and two were fine, but in sector three I had no front grip and the car was understeering a lot. Now I hope we have a good race strategy as I'm still aiming for points which, of course, is not easy from where I am starting. It will be a demanding race, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.\"\nMonisha Kaltenborn, CEO: \"Kamui did an excellent job. Sergio, like Kamui, looked good in Q2 but he just lost it on the last sector, so he could have been further up. We are happy Kamui did a great performance, and now we have to make sure Sergio gets the most out of the race the way he did in Australia.\"\nJames Key, Technical Director: \"We went to FP3 with some changes on both cars after some of the balance difficulties we had yesterday. The problem yesterday was we didn't get the soft tyres to work for us, but today it was different and both drivers were happier with the balance on this tyre. We just did a single run in Q1, which was enough. In Q2 Kamui had a new and a used set of tyres and Sergio had two new sets. It was a great shame for Sergio as his lap time was looking quite reasonable, but unfortunately he lost three to four tenths in the last sector. Certainly he could have been a lot closer to the top ten, but we know he is a good racer as he showed last race he can recover from that. Kamui did a great lap to get through to Q3 and then we just did a single run, which is always a little bit risky on a new tyre. I don't think we could have gone too much further up the top ten, but maybe a bit more. We certainly can't complain as it was a very good qualifying session again for Kamui.\"\nSebastien Buemi (12th, 1:37.160): \"I am very happy with how qualifying went today, as it is the second time in two races that I have produced a good performance, improving lap after lap. Unfortunately, I had a problem in Q1, when the left sidepod came off, but the mechanics worked well to fit a new one very quickly. I am satisfied, because in twelfth, we are not far off the Mercedes and quite close to Q3 and so we must continue to work hard to improve. At least it seems we are on the right road. We changed the car a lot between free practice 3 and qualifying and it was the right thing to do, especially as these settings should also work well in the race. I think it will almost certainly rain at some point tomorrow, so finishing the race will be the first challenge.\"\nJaime Alguersuari (13th, 1:37.347): \"Finishing P12 and 13 is a good result for the team and I feel we have the potential to do a good race tomorrow. We got pretty much the maximum out of the set-up. Sebastien was again faster than me by a small amount, doing a good job. I feel we have a good set-up, whether it rains or not and I don't personally mind if it is wet or dry in the race. The key will be to keep the rear tyres alive and make them last as long as possible and I hope we can bring home some more points for the team.\"\nGiorgio Ascanelli, Technical Director: \"I am happy to be ahead of Force India and I feel Sebastien did a good job this afternoon and is where he should be, which means he can have a strong race tomorrow. Up until this afternoon, I feel we did not get the best out of the car's set-up, but we turned the car around for the afternoon. As for Jaime, he too drove well. To sum it up, we did not do the best job in free practice, but we did in qualifying. As for the sidepod flying off Sebastien's car in Q1, at the moment, I have no idea if the part was not properly fixed or an insert cracked. However, there was no question about the integrity of the components, which is why we refitted another sidepod and sent him out again.\"\nHeikki Kovalainen (19th, 1:38.645): \"That was a great session for us and I'm really pleased with how we've performed. After yesterday, I didn't really know what to expect going into today's sessions but the guys have done a great job to give me a car that is totally different to yesterday. As soon as I went out on track this morning I could feel there was a huge improvement in every area and we have had no reliability issues at all today so I was able to really push. I've enjoyed the whole day and I felt like I was able to get the best out of the car in all the runs. There's still a bit more to come so I think tomorrow will be a really interesting race for us, particularly when you see how close we are to the midfield, and with the pace we know the car has in race trim.\"\nJarno Trulli (20th, 1:38.791): \"Today's performance is obviously a lot more positive for the whole team. We had no issues with the car in either session and I think we got pretty close to showing what the car can really do. FP3 was very useful and we have also taken some good data from qualifying itself as we tried to get the best out of the car. The plan for tomorrow is to keep consistent and reliable, take our chances when they come and be there at the end. It is a long and very hot race where anything can happen but I think we are ready for it, so let's see how it goes.\"\nTony Fernandes, Team Principal: \"Words cannot express how happy and overjoyed I am right now. To see 18 months of hard work come good with us finishing within a couple of tenths of teams that have been around for a long time, and less than a second away from the midfield pack, that is an amazing achievement. It is made even more satisfying after what has been a pretty hard winter test program, taking on the issues we have been working through and, honestly, not a great start to the season - but this is a great feeling. Both Heikki and Jarno know there's more to come from the car, and we feel good about the race this weekend. The aim is to keep our reliability and bring two cars home. I am really proud of the team, particularly after such a hard winter, so I take my hat off to every single one of them for keeping up the progress and helping us reach where we are today.\"\nMike Gascoyne, Technical Director: \"A very very good day for the team, however we are left feeling a little disappointed because we felt we had a real chance of getting into Q2. We had no problems on the cars at all today which meant we were able to show the true level of performance that we had seen in winter testing, and ultimately we were very close to Q2 on merit. The drivers did a great job and the whole team has worked very hard to turn everything around from yesterday, and from Melbourne. In Heikki's last run he made a couple of small mistakes and we could have been even closer, but, looking at the positives, we are all looking forward to the race tomorrow. Tyre degradation will be very important here - it will be an interesting Sunday for the whole grid and at last we have a car with which we can go and take the fight to the midfield.\"\nThierry Salvi, Renault: \"That was a much more solid performance from the whole team, particularly compared to Melbourne where we were not able to show the true pace of the car. We have looked strong all day, especially in qualifying, and I think that we have found improvements in a number of areas that have contributed to the step forward today - cooling, engine mapping and the car behaviour in general, I think this is a good result all round. The improvements are very encouraging for us and I think that seeing it here at Sepang is particularly pleasing as it is tough on everyone's engines, so for us that goes down as a good day.\"\nVitantonio Liuzzi (23rd, 1:41.549): \"It's great for everyone that we were well under 107%. We proved that in Australia the problem wasn't a matter of pace but a matter of time out on the track, we had half a day of testing compared to the three months other teams did. You can't just gain mileage out of nothing. Now we have to work hard in the following months, in the next races to try and close the gap. This is just the first step for Hispania Racing, we've done a great job and we've improved the car a lot from Australia to now. I'm proud of the work done by everybody, starting with when they got the car on the ground in Australia and now having got it in good condition here in Sepang. We had a few minor issues both yesterday and today but that is normal when you're working with such little time. I think we can still improve, I did a good lap and this is the result: we will be on the grid tomorrow.\"\nNarain Karthikeyan (24th, 1:42.574): \"We made it through qualifying which was our aim for today. The car is virtually brand new so it's good to get some more mileage done, the more time we can get out on the track the better. I flat spotted my second set of tyres on turn one so it was hard to set a good time with them after that but everybody worked extremely hard and we're delighted to be in the race. We marked Sepang on the calendar beforehand as one of the toughest circuits to get under the 107% time so it's a great satisfaction to have done it. Now I hope to finish tomorrow's race and get a lot more laps under my belt with the new car. They're forecasting rain for tomorrow so you never know what will happen out there.\"\nColin Kolles, Team Principal: \"We made the next step by qualifying into the race. This was our target: to qualify and to be able to do more laps. By doing more miles we are understanding the F111 better and our drivers are getting more and more out of it. Both drivers did a good job out there today, Tonio set a very good baseline. Now we have set a base from which to work from in the future. Once more, I would like to thank the whole team for their massive effort. Now we have our next target in mind which is to keep doing laps and finish tomorrow's race with both cars.\"\nTimo Glock (21st, 1:40.648): \"After Free Practice 3 this morning I'd say we had some problems as we couldn't get the car to work like yesterday and we didn't have the same speed. My Race Engineer and Performance Engineer worked very well together to come up with a good solution which ensured we got back the performance level that we had until then. I was a little unlucky on my second set of tyres when I hit traffic with Karthikeyan. I would have found a couple of tenths but this wouldn't have changed our position today. We've done the best we can with the package so as ever we'll be focusing on getting both cars home and making the most of every opportunity that comes our way - one of which may of course be the weather, as there is a chance of rain during the race.\"\nJerome d'Ambrosio (22nd, 1:41.001): \"I'm very pleased with the job we've done today. It's definitely a step forward and I did a much better job than in Melbourne. I've learned a lot. I'm very happy with how we've worked this weekend and I'm looking forward to the race tomorrow - it should be very interesting with the weather and pitstops playing a big part I think. Overall I'm quite happy with this second Saturday. I'm making progress and I'm happy with that.\"\nJohn Booth, Team Principal: \"It's been a weekend of mixed fortunes so far but today I think we can be pleased that we made the best of our package and qualified comfortably - a step forward since Melbourne. In fact we would still have qualified well inside the fastest Q3 time, so we are better off here in Malaysia for sure. I think if dry conditions prevail tomorrow it could be a long race, but then you never know what the tyres and weather have in store. There were a few showers in the neighbouring area today, although none of them affected the track action. So we will look forward to tomorrow and aim to get both cars to the chequered flag.\"",

        "raw_content": "Want to bet on a horse? Pay your utility bill? Buy a ski lift ticket? Get a boarding pass for your flight? Buy groceries, perfume, a parking permit or order photo prints? Or, perhaps you would like to mail a package, rent a car or order a pastrami sandwich on rye from a deli.\nOdds are, you'll soon find yourself doing all of these things without ever speaking to a human being.\nSelf-payment and kiosk technology has come a long way. Retailers can provide a kiosk or self-service payment system for all types of services at a cost effective price, allowing them to cut back on the costly process of hiring and training employees in high turnover industries such as retail or quick service restaurants (QSRs).\nPOS kiosks are hardware devices that work in combination with software equipped to handle self-service transactions. They allow customers to perform various functions in one spot by using a keyboard or touch screen.\nThe machines can include card readers, ticket and receipt printers, bill and coin depositors, and other devices designed for the types of services retailers determine their customers need.\nNot only can kiosks be more cost effective, but they can also be programmed to upsell more reliably than human employees, giving customers the ability to purchase items at any time.\nProducts pass consumer test\nConsumers are adapting to self-service payment options more quickly than some industry experts prophesied. Accustomed to automated teller machines (ATMs) and pay-at-the-pump service, many consumers feel they can process their transactions faster by doing it themselves instead of handing their card over to a clerk. And some feel it is safer to keep possession of their cards at all times.\nShoppers feel empowered throughout the self-service checkout process because of the active rather than passive procedure, according to research and consulting company IHL Group, a division of IHL Services Inc. that specializes in technology for the retail and hospitality industries.\n\"According to some estimates, in 2006, North American consumers spent more than $475 billion at self-checkout lanes, ticketing kiosks and various other self-service [POS] locations,\" said Melanie Broad, a Senior Analyst at Mercator Advisory Group and author of Retail Self Checkout: Providing Options For Merchants and Consumers.\n\"In 2007, those numbers are expected to increase by 33%,\" Broad said. \"Other estimates anticipate that by 2009, consumers will spend $1.2 trillion in sales in retail stores via self-checkout alone. For these reasons, self-service at the [POS] is a compelling solution that serves many constituents of the payments and emerging technology space, including the consumer.\"\nIn 2005, Edgar, Dunn and Co. conducted research that showed the global market for unattended payment solutions stood at 7 million to 9 million devices, worth more than $5 billion.\nNearly half of them reside in the North American sector. Mark Beresford, Manager of EDC's London office, said the figure should be revised significantly upward to take into account current factors affecting marketability.\n\"We have seen the costs to manufacture terminal devices have fallen over the last few years, as manufacturing has continued to shift to low cost countries such as India and China,\" Beresford said. \"Also, devices have become more standardized, and the consolidation of terminal vendors has equally impacted the cost.\"\nGreg Buzek, founder and President of IHL Group, said the installation of self-checkout systems continues to grow in the double digits. \"It's a way of life for high-volume transaction environments,\" he said.\nBuzek added that the greatest growth is seen in super centers, warehouse clubs and smaller grocery stores, but once radio frequency identification replaces the bar code it will be common in all segments.\nAccording to Buzek, the positive aspects of a self-service kiosk for merchants include the ability to:\nOpen more lanes with fewer people\nAllow more lanes at nonpeak times\nFree up sales staff for additional customer assistance\nLower overall operating costs\nIncrease speed of checkout\nUpfront costs still high\nBuzek admitted, some merchants balk at the high upfront costs. He estimated the average self-service checkout machine costs $21,000 and has a typical lifespan of five years, compared to a traditional POS system, which costs on average $4,000 and has a longer life, typically nine years.\nNCR Corp.'s FastLane is considered by Broad to be a leader in the self-checkout space. It is used by Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Home Depot U.S.A. Inc. and numerous retail chains. It costs approximately $20,000 per lane and offers a range of configurations. \"NCR envisions a ratio of 1-to-8 being feasible in the near future as both consumers and staff become more adept at using these systems,\" Broad said.\nIBM is also a leading supplier of standalone self-checkout solutions with more than 2.3 million machines installed worldwide. IBM self-checkout systems cost from $75,000 to $100,000 for a four-lane system with a manager's station.\n\"This is about 10% more expensive than a traditional checkout,\" Broad said. \"But, as with many emerging technologies, that difference may decrease over time.\"\nAccording to the U.S. Labor Department, the average salary of a grocery store cashier is $19,060 a year, so the merchant doesn't recoup costs very quickly.\nBut Broad suggested the direct return on investment (ROI) for some merchants may be better than it appears at first glance. \"Assuming one's store was only open eight hours per day, and the need for cashiers [for the traditional lanes replaced by self-checkout] was eliminated, the ROI would be realized in some 21 months,\" she said.\n\"Self-checkout lanes can reduce merchants' costs by optimizing lower value transactions,\" Broad added. \"With low dollar tickets, specifically those under $15, a typical supermarket does not break even on the transaction. However, with self-checkout, the ticket size at which merchants break even on the transaction is lowered to $12, thus increasing retailer profits.\"\nConsumer purchases are typically smaller in self-checkout lanes than in traditional lanes, even smaller than in the express staffed lanes. According to IHL, most self-checkout consumers have an average of 6.6 items with a total of about $40.\nSpeed wins overall\nStill, the selling point, according to many experts, is not price, but acceleration. And when doing their own checkout, customers perceived the line to go faster than regular employee terminals.\n\"The 1-to-1 [ratio of] checkout lane [to] cashier relationship is an obvious bottleneck,\" Broad said. \"The amount of time required per transaction is dictated by the competence of the clerk and the speed of the technology in performing a payment transaction.\n\"This 1-to-1 relationship in a traditional retail setting cannot be altered. To speed up the number of customers you can process in a given time, you must add more cashiers to more lanes. Self-checkout systems aim to alter this ratio by enabling the consumer to perform his or her own checkout.\"\nSpeeding up transaction times appeals as much to consumers as it does to merchants. \"According to national studies, approximately 80% of consumer complaints about restaurants are related to quality and timeliness of service,\" said Jeffrey I. Shavitz, Executive Vice President of Charge Card Systems Holdings Inc.\n\"Even an excellent dining experience can be negatively overshadowed by long delays during the checkout process.\"\nIn most cases, the customer must request a check, wait for the server to return the bill, surrender the credit card to the server and wait again for the hard copy receipt. Charge Card Systems' Self Pay Solution has proven to reduce the number of customer walkouts, Shavitz noted.\nAnd an extended wait time is usually the quickest way to lose a customer - sometimes for good. \"Research suggests that the majority of customer walkouts are a result of excessive wait times,\" Shavitz said. \"With this solution, customers can self-pay using their key fob at any time without having to wait for a check.\n\"Merchants love [self-service kiosks] because it will expedite the number of customers frequenting their establishment. Plus, it will help reduce your staff overhead by approximately 30% with less time involved in managing the check-out process.\"\nPaul Rasori, Vice President of Global Product Marketing for VeriFone, agreed. \"Self-checkout options have been shown to generate a 40% reduction in average queue times, with increased throughput of up to 20%, enabling retailers to effectively cope with peaks and troughs of demand,\" he said.\nEmployees gain flexibility\nAccording to Kathy Dawidowicz, NCR's FastLane Product Marketing Manager, floor space is key for retailers. And being able to utilize it as selling space is imperative. \"Two assisted service lanes can be replaced by four self-payment lanes monitored by one cashier,\" he said.\nBroad agreed one of the main advantages of these systems is the smaller footprint of each unit. \"In retail establishments, any space freed by such a system can be devoted to selling,\" she said.\nBroad mentioned that checkouts are vital, traditionally large and only arranged in parallel. \"Self-service checkouts typically occupy 25% less space than conventional checkouts and allow a more flexible layout to be deployed, often allowing room for other functions such as enhanced marketing opportunities and the display of other enticing items,\" she said.\nFrom her research, Broad found that retailers aren't laying off employees freed up by self-service terminals. Instead, companies are deploying staff elsewhere in the store to drive additional sales and enhance the shopping experience.\nMonica Hachem, NCR's Self-Service Business Development Director, noted that in the past, retailers looked to kiosks to reduce labor. \"But now I see them using kiosks to improve customer service or enhance the shopping experience,\" she said. \"For consumers, self-service doesn't automatically translate to no service. In many cases, the employees no longer needed at checkout are offering more personalized service where it counts.\"\nOpportunities keep coming\nThe shopping experience has changed dramatically since consumers came, cash in hand, to stores to leisurely buy goods and services. The birth of the Internet and new payment technologies have brought about the fastest and most revolutionary changes to the shopping experience.\nThe self-service market gives ISOs and merchant level salespeople (MLSs) the potential to enhance the consumer experience. \"Innovative ISOs [and] MLSs, teamed with innovative merchants, will always find an opportunity to exploit a productivity-saving, consumer-pleasing payment technology,\" Rasori said. \"This may open up new avenues for ISOs [and] MLSs to develop such as parking lots or vending machines.\"\nThe National Retail Federation's annual convention held Jan. 13 to 16, 2008, in New York featured X08 - Beyond the Walls of Retail, a show floor exhibit designed to demonstrate how technology will change the way customers shop.\nSelf-checkout and kiosk technologies figured prominently in NRA's exhibit. Even the least tech savvy consumers are now becoming adept at using self-service machines. According to IHL, anywhere between 25% and 50% of the daily retail transactions in the United States are now handled via self-checkout lanes.\nYounger consumers use grocery self-checkout lanes more frequently than older ones, and men use them 17% more frequently than women. Many experts speculate that has more to do with the size of the grocery purchase (women with fewer items use the self-checkout lanes more than women with larger purchases) than with gender or age. Even baby boomers are swiping their cards at gas stations and airport kiosks.\n\"Self-checkout is becoming pervasive,\" Dawidowicz said. \"It's already widespread in food and do-it-yourself retailers, but we're seeing a growing use of self-checkout in convenience stores, department stores and big box retailers, as well as car rental, health care, airports - all kinds of industries have started to embrace self-checkout.\"\nCompanies are striving to update self-service machines to offer the best product to merchants and consumers. For example, NCR's self-payment solutions \"continue to evolve to address retailers differing operational needs as we penetrate these new segments,\" she said.\nMore knowledge required\nBeyond grocery and do-it-yourself retailers, the self-checkout market is relatively untapped. But it takes some expertise to recommend the appropriate payment device and arrange installation and ongoing maintenance services. It almost invariably requires a more complex three-party (or more) deal.\nKiosks can be complex. They require state-of-the-art technology and a user-friendly - and extremely intuitive - interface. Unattended payment systems with PIN pads must adhere to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard requirements specific to unattended PIN entry environments.\nKiosks placed outdoors or in unsupervised settings require additional security features and engineering for extreme weather conditions. Many ISOs and MLSs give a lot of thought to weatherproof or vandal-resistant equipment for a typical retailer POS system. With an outdoor or only partially protected kiosk, those features can add years to the service life of the kiosk. Other design factors also come into play. For example, the zone of security (so that bystanders cannot see the PIN when the consumer enters it) or accessibility affects things like the size and height of the keypad or the area lighting and keypad illumination.\nAnd if that's not complicated enough, consider the communications module access. If systems are installed at the retailers' place of businesses (pay-at-the pump or an in-store kiosk), you can use fixed-line configurations such as a serial cables or a local area network connections. But if it is an outdoor or remote kiosk location, you may need to use Wi-Fi, general packet radio service or code division multiple access wireless for communications access.\nSelf-service and kiosk solutions give consumers flexibility, but they can also expose merchants to potential fraud from stolen cards. So mechanisms to authenticate cardholders and their payment cards are essential. Indeed, some self-checkout systems even give change at the POS, making the case for implementing security measures even more compelling.\nKiosks or other systems can often be programmed to upsell. For example, an airport ticketing kiosk can automatically offer to upgrade passengers to first class when they book coach. But those upsells must be well thought out.\nAutomated upsells tend to be reliable. Employees often forget to offer upgrades or intentionally neglect to do so when service lines get too long. However, opinions are divided as to whether an automated upsell is as persuasive as one given by an employee. A teller engaging in conversation with a consumer may be able to think of a way to personalize the upsell for a particular customer, for example.\nEven impulse purchase decisions may vary in self-checkout lines compared to traditional ones. \"The implementation of self-checkout lanes means a pronounced decline in the number of impulse items that are sold,\" Broad said. \"While the decline in impulse buys at the [POS] is a gender-neutral trend, women's purchase volumes are reduced by a dramatic 50% and men's by 27.8%.\"\nIHL agreed that most businesses are not effectively addressing the issue of impulse purchases at self-service lanes. It suggests that retailers look at the target audience to stock shelves. \"If men are the predominant users of self-checkout, retailers should focus on providing more impulse items for men at the head of self-checkout lanes,\" Buzek said.\nAs with any other value added service, additional education and effort can pay off. \"Have you ever wondered how brilliant the QSRs are?\" Shavitz said. \"You pay for your meal and then you clean up your meal. Where does it say in these restaurants that the customer must throw their food away in the garbage? It doesn't.\n\"Similarly, ISOs and [MLSs] within our industry have a unique opportunity to introduce this new concept and earn merchants' trust and business by acting as their consultant and not just reducing their credit card fees by a few basis points.\"\nIn the ever changing payments industry, the surge in popularity of self-checkout kiosks and other creative concepts could reward ISOs and MLSs with major profits.",

        "raw_content": "The Misery and Mystery of Tinnitus: How Hearing Aids Can Help\nBy Justin Braver\nTinnitus is most commonly defined as a ringing heard in the ears, where no external sound source is present. The sound can manifest itself in many different forms, such as hissing, whooshing, whistling or even pulsing like a heartbeat. Nearly everyone will experience brief episodes at some point in their lives, perhaps the morning after a rock concert, and over 50 million adult Americans have experienced some form of intermittent or persistent tinnitus One in five of those people contend with bothersome tinnitus to the extent where their quality of life and well-being are compromised. If this sounds like you, then get examined by an otolaryngologist (ENT) as soon as possible.\nTinnitus in itself, is not a disease. It is a symptom of a disease, but not always. When it is possible to associate the tinnitus with other problems identified in the outer-middle-inner ear systems, then the tinnitus is referred to as \"secondary\". The good news is that it can often be alleviated by treatment of its underlying cause. Unfortunately, the majority of cases are classified as \"primary\", where there is no clearly identifiable cause or origin. Miserable, mysterious, and frustrating to the afflicted, indeed.\nEven stranger are the cases where tinnitus is \"objective\", which means that the examiner can actually detect and listen to the sound being produced by the patient! The known and theoretically causes for these very rare cases go well beyond the scope of this article, but they do speak to the mysterious nature this vexing condition. The garden-variety tinnitus is \"subjective\", meaning that only the afflicted can hear the sound. Subjective tinnitus is commonly caused by damage of the cochlear nerves located within the inner ear. This type of nerve damage is usually the result of exposure to loud noise or simply the aging process, but some medications can have ototoxic effects on these delicate nerves. Cochlear nerve damage is the most common culprit for hearing loss as well.\nMost people who suffer both tinnitus and hearing loss report a drastic reduction in their tinnitus through the use of hearing aids. Some scientists postulate that the brain compensates for the \"missed sounds\", deprived to it by a hearing loss. Unable to detect and process the desired and expected environmental sounds, the brain fills the void by producing an undesirable phantom sound. And when proper hearing is restored (or a least significantly improved), the brain ceases to create the annoying tone. Furthermore, when desired environmental sounds are being amplified and blended in, the tinnitus sound will become less prominent in the aural mix. The best way to determine if your tinnitus can be alleviated is to visit a hearing professional for a hearing test. Reduction of tinnitus is merely one of the many reasons to use hearing aids should you determine that your hearing has declined.\nJustin Braver is the owner of Zounds Hearing in Monroeville and Zounds Hearing of South Hills.

        "raw_content": "Home > Mental Health > When Healthy Eating Goes Too Far: The Dangers Of Orthorexia\nMost people have heard of common eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, but another condition that has been around for decades is now gaining recognition for being equally as destructive as its related conditions. It has yet to be added to the DSM-IV, also known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual that is used for the diagnosis of mental health issues by mental health practitioners around the world, but was first recognized and named as a condition by physician Steven Bratman in 1979.\nAs societies around the world, particularly in the first world, become more obsessive about finding the \u201cperfect\u201d diet, a condition like Orthorexia becomes more and more common amongst those who are affected by disordered eating.\nBut What Is Orthorexia?\nUnlike anorexia nervosa, where the sufferer eats as little as possible-to the point of starvation-or they try not to eat at all, and bulimia nervosa, where the sufferer binges and purges to prevent gaining weight, with Orthorexia an obsession with \u201chealthy eating\u201d becomes commonplace. But that sounds good, right? Everyone should care about healthy eating! But in the case of Orthorexia-not really, and things go too far.\nEmmy Brunner, Clinical Director at London-based eating disorder treatment centre The Recover Clinic explains it this way:\nOrthorexia is when a way of eating shifts from being a choice and temporary measure to becoming part of who you are and how you live.\nShe goes on to explain that\nJust like recognized eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, Orthorexia usually affects high-achieving individuals in pursuit of perfection. Restricting their diet to particular foods gives them a sense of control [that] they aren\u2019t getting in other areas of their lives.\nIn the past this condition has been confused with both anorexia nervosa and bulimia, being overlooked and instead identified as a slight differentiation of the two more common disorders. But while all three are characterized by a food-based obsession, Orthorexia\u2019s nuances set it apart. Take for instance, a garden variety vegetarian or gluten-free diet.\nThe dieter in question does need a certain amount of diligence and focus to be sure that the food they eat keeps up with their lifestyle choices. But when it comes to Orthorexia, that focus becomes dangerous, turning into a fixation on the proper nature and the purity of the food. This obsession on only eating \u201cclean\u201d allows the Orthorexic to assert authority and power over their diet, more so than anywhere else. And because we live in a society that is very interested in flogging one new miracle diet after another, those with Orthorexia easily slip through the cracks.\nThere is a thin line between being mindful of one\u2019s diet and being obsessed with one\u2019s diet, and the recognition of that line can make it difficult to recognize the plight of someone suffering from Orthorexia. As with other obsessive disorders, those who suffer from orthorexia may isolate themselves so that they can more easily engage in their obsessive behaviors. They may avoid eating at restaurants, or going out with friends, family, and coworkers, thereby avoiding any temptation that may loom in front of them. By bringing their own food everywhere they go, they are completely in charge at all times.\nOrthorexic eating has even been described as being \u201clike a religion\u201d where \u201cit becomes a position and not a preference\u201d. And while there is nothing wrong with trying to eat \u201cclean\u201d, the extreme single-minded resolve to eat only healthy foods, with no exceptions, can potentially lead to an unhealthy and dangerous place.\nTreatment For Orthorexia\nAs with other obsessive eating disorders, treatment is available! It is imperative to get treatment for Orthorexia as one would for any other type of obsessive and/or eating disorder.\nTo start, it is imperative to identify the emotional triggers for Orthorexic symptoms. The emotional response may have been caused by something that has not been properly identified or addressed, and without knowing what is triggering for the sufferer, treatment will be very difficult.\nThen, create awareness of healthy ways to respond to emotions, such as sadness or fear, anger or shame or frustration. It\u2019s important to avoid destructive and harmful thought patterns, as these are what make the condition seem completely unmanageable.\nFinally, it\u2019s important to foster confidence in the person who is suffering. Without confidence, they will be unable to make the healthy choices that are needed to begin the road to recovery, and maintain recovery.\nThere are many treatment centers worldwide that are beginning to recognize Orthorexia as a condition, and that will happily offer their resources and knowledge to those who need it.\nPrevious What Should You Organize In Your Hospital Bag Before Delivery?\nNext What Is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) And How Does It Work?",

        "raw_content": "Ana Sanchez, a 15-year-old from Brownsville, Texas, should be going to school and hanging out with friends. Her main concern, though, is how to get enough money to buy food and diapers for her baby son.\n\u201cI don\u2019t have work, I had to leave school and sometimes I don\u2019t have money to buy diapers,\u201d said Sanchez.\nLike many other Hispanic teenage mothers, she does not have a husband to help support her child. And, she has seen her story played out before - in the lives of her Mexican-born mother, Maria, and her two older sisters.\nAs the U.S. population passed 300 million this week, some demographers noted that Hispanics account for about half of the current population growth. Many of the Hispanic women who gave birth were teenagers.\nAbout 51 percent of Hispanic girls have babies before turning 20 in the United States, compared with 34 percent of girls nationally, according to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.\n\u201cIn the Latino community we have not made as much progress as we have in other oppressed communities\u201d, said Michael McGee, vice president for education at the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.\nEmily Rios says she \u201ccan\u2019t even count\u201d how many girls became mothers at her high school in El Monte outside Los Angeles, where 72 percent of the population is Hispanic.\nRios was the lead actress in the award-winning movie \u201cQuinceanera,\u201d which follows a 14-year-old from a Mexican family living in Los Angeles who finds herself pregnant before her much-awaited \u201cquinceanera,\u201d or 15th birthday party.\n\u201cMaybe they just think it\u2019s the life that they are supposed to live,\u201d she told Reuters in an interview.\nWith many girls growing up in immigrant families from countries where women are encouraged to have children young, the cultural pressures are strong.\n\u201cMost Latino mothers had their children at an early age. So they think: \u2018If it was OK for them, why can\u2019t it be for me?\u2019\u201d said Neusa Gaytan, program director for the Chicago-based community group Latin Women in Action.\nMost of them are Roman Catholic and less likely to use contraception or contemplate abortion, and lack sex education programs in schools with large Hispanic student populations.\nMany teens grew up caring for younger siblings and are eager to have a family young, as their mothers did.\nWhile nationwide teen birth and pregnancy rates have fallen in the United States in recent years, the reduction in teenage births has been slower among Hispanics, the country\u2019s fastest growing minority with more than 42 million people.\nHispanic teens had 83 babies per 1,000 women aged 15 to 19 in 2004, compared to 63 for non-Hispanic African-Americans and 27 for non-Hispanic whites, the National Center for Health Statistics said in a study released at the end of last month.\nGaytan said parents need to have frank talks with their children about practicing safe sex and the risks of becoming teen parents.\nAdilene Araujo, a 16-year-old Mexican student who lives near Palm Springs, California, and is expecting her first baby, agreed.\nShe said she thinks many Latino parents don\u2019t want to talk about sex to their kids because they generally think it\u2019s \u201ctoo early\u201d.\n\u201cThey think their kids are too young, when they are (already) sexually active,\u201d she said.\nRios hopes other Hispanic teens will watch will learn from \u201cQuinceanera,\u201d which is released on DVD in January, what they didn\u2019t learn at home and in school.\nBut they are unlikely to have seen it in theaters, unless they went with their parents.

        "raw_content": "Onboarding that Welcomes and Inspires\nWhen people look back on experiences, they rarely remember what was said or who said it. Instead, they remember how they felt. The same principle can be used when onboading new employees. Think about the process that is currently in place at your company. Ask yourself \u201cWhat is the emotional takeaway for new employees during the process?\u201d \u201cAre these the emotions we want to leave them with?\u201d If your answer is no, it may be time to revise your process. Creating an emotionally positive onboarding experience for new employees not only increases retention rates, but in a chain reaction, increases customer satisfaction as well.\nIdeal emotions you want to elicit in your orientation process include feelings of being welcomed, comfortable and secure, proud, excited, inspired and confident. The Ritz Carlton inspires their new employees by conveying two important messages: \u201cyou\u2019re lucky to work here\u201d and \u201cwe\u2019re lucky to have you.\u201d Their orientation video explains what it would mean to be the top 1% in various fields while showing images of Bill Gates and Tiger Woods on screen. The video then goes on to emphasize that being employed with the Ritz Carlton means they are among the top 1% in the hospitality industry. It gives the employees a sense of pride to work for the company, while also making them feel wanted and important.\nIn their orientation videos, Texas Roadhouse conveys the \u201clovefest\u201d that is their company. They include clips of humanitarian projects, memorable quotes from employees and excerpts from a Managing Partner Conference. The running theme for their process is \u201cIf you love your people, they\u2019ll love your customers.\u201d Their videos and orientation program communicate that this company loves their employees and that it is not the average place to work.\nSouthwest Airlines is another company that understands the importance of designing its employee orientation and onboarding process with the goal of creating positive emotional experiences. Cheryl Hughey, Southwest\u2019s director of onboarding, explains their mindset, \u201c If you want them to stay, if you want them to become engaged, you need to make sure you do the \u2018feeling\u2019 part of the process, and you do that by showing them how they will make a difference, giving them examples of how their fellow employees make a difference, making them feel welcome.\u201d\nOrientation and onboarding processes that include an emotional approach lead new employees to feel, respected, valued and inspired, and directly improves employee motivation, productivity and customer service. To accomplish this during your process, remember these four items: Everything matters, think experience, what\u2019s the emotional take away and what\u2019s the perpetual take away?",

        "raw_content": "(Here is part of my sermon)\nElijah was burned out!\nIt\u2019s a feeling church people can know all too well. I\u2019m guessing there\u2019s even a few people here today feeling burnt out after the Bazaar yesterday. That event is a lot of work!\nNo matter what our job or tasks, we can all reach that burn out stage at some point. It\u2019s easy to work and work and work at something, and feel like we\u2019re trapped in our work and can\u2019t stop. It\u2019s easy to feel like our work is in vain when all our attempts don\u2019t seem to change anything. It\u2019s easy for our limits to sneak up on us.\nElijah had a tough job. He was a prophet, and a prophet is someone who speaks for God. In Elijah\u2019s case, speaking for God meant speaking truth to power. King Ahab and Queen Jezebel were abusing their power, and Elijah called them on it. And, since this is an ancient Bible story, Elijah did it in dramatic fashion. He announced a drought in hopes the corrupt king would see the light and change his ways. During the drought, he provided food and healing for a foreign widow and her son. Some time later he had a show down with the priests of Baal, a rival god who the queen worshiped. Elijah proved victorious, and then went overboard and killed all the priests of Baal. I like to think this might have been a symptom of burnout. Understandably, Queen Jezebel was outraged and determined to kill Elijah. So, Elijah ran.\nBurn-out can be dangerous. Burn-out has a way of sneaking up on us. It makes us feel alone, and like no one understands. It makes us feel like we\u2019re the only ones doing anything. It makes us feel like all our tireless efforts have earned us the right to lash out. Burn-out wears us down and overwhelms. It really brings out the worst in us.\nToday we celebrate All Saints Sunday. We like to think of saints as holy people who never do anything wrong, but saints are just people who seek to follow God. One of my favorite teachings of Luther is that we are saints and sinners at the same time. Throughout the Bible and throughout history, God has been working through imperfect people.\nI am convinced that the life of a saint means hitting a wall at some point. Even Mother Teresa, the saintliest person we can think of, even she had times when she felt a profound absence of God. At some point, we all hit burn-out. Just like Elijah in this story.\nAnd just like Elijah, we need those times to retreat\u2014ideally before we hit the dangerous levels of burn-out. We need distance to re-orient our perspective on things. We need to find nourishment for our souls. We need to get away from the distractions. When we hit those walls, God is there to meet us and lead us to a renewed sense of purpose.\nWhat restores your soul? What helps you hear God?\nOur Renewal Team is setting an example for this\u2026\nSilent/listen exercise\u2026",

        "raw_content": "A Voice for Vets\nAnn Arbor-based radio show celebrates 10 years of reaching out to military veterans in Michigan and beyond\nBy Sheryl James // Photographs by Josh Scott\nOn Nov. 15, 2003, Vietnam War veterans Dale Throneberry and Bob Gould went on the air to broadcast a new show they had come up with\u2009\u2014\u2009a show they thought was long overdue. They called it \"Veterans Radio.\" Operating as volunteers with no budget or funding, they used the facilities of WSDS, a tiny Ypsilanti radio station. Using equipment considered prehistoric today, and fighting off cats that wandered over their control board, the two interviewed leaders of veterans organizations. There were kinks, but Throneberry and Gould, former insurance salesmen, considered the launch a success.\nSo they did another program the next week. This month, 400-plus programs later, is their 10th anniversary. These days, they broadcast from Ave Maria Radio studios at WDEO 990 AM in Ann Arbor, on four other stations in the U.S., and online, from 9-10 a.m. (EST) every Saturday.\nTen years\u2009\u2014\u200910 years\u2009\u2014\u2009of talking to veterans and scores more who have played various roles on the military stage. Where do you start?\nHow about that program featuring Yung Krall, whose father was representing the Viet Cong in the Soviet Union while she was operating as a CIA and FBI spy? Or the Korean War vet who during his interview suddenly remembered an experience at the Battle of Pork Chop Hill he had repressed for more than 50 years? Or the other Korean vet who survived the slaughter by Chinese troops at the battle of the Chosin Reservoir, when he was just one of nine of 300 left alive from his battalion\u2009?\nOne Vietnam War sniper broke into tears. World War II vets shared tales from Normandy and Auschwitz. Women veterans, Tuskegee Airmen, and those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan also have found a voice on Veterans Radio.\nMore famous visitors include legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager; Daniel Ellsberg of Pentagon Papers fame; Major Theodore \"Dutch\" Van Kirk, navigator of the Enola Gay when it dropped the first atomic bomb; Sen. John Kerry; and more. Also, author Dwight Jon Zimmerman hosts \"At Ease,\" a weekly program on Veterans Radio about books and authors.\nVeterans Radio has been an emotional experience for the hosts. \"We did a program on Arlington Cemetery that made me cry,\" says Throneberry, 67, who served with the 195th Assault Helicopter Company in Vietnam in 1969. But he cried harder when one listener called in to say he had served during World War II with Throneberry's father, who had died when Throneberry was 15.\n\"This is not your vanilla veterans program,\" says Gould, 70, who was an Army Airborne medic in the early 1960s. He likes to call Veterans Radio \"the History Channel\" of radio. A third major sponsor and team member early on was Gary Lillie, a U.S. Navy Seabee who served during the Vietnam War. He was killed in 2011 by a drunken driver, and his death was a shock to Throneberry and Gould.\nFor a time, they wondered if they should continue; budgets were tight, and sponsors were few. \"Plus,\" Throneberry says, \"I was exhausted.\n\"But we decided that what we're doing is so important. And what else was I going to do? I was retired, and I thought, 'Do I want to plant a garden the rest of my life?' Veterans' affairs had become so important. People do different things to help. I won't be the guy who builds the memorial. But I can\u2009...\u2009let people know what's happening, so they can help.\"\nThroneberry and Gould get emails from people \u2014\u2009not just veterans\u2009\u2014\u2009from around the world. Veterans Radio reaches an estimated 200,000 of the nation's 22 million veterans a month.\nThe station's variety of programs keeps the show \"fresh.\" Says Throneberry, \"We don't get stuck in this continual churning of [depressing] stories about ineptitude and failure.\" They said from the beginning this would not be a whiner's program. \"Our job is to let veterans tell their stories, and to tell other stories that are uplifting. They went through hell, came out, and somehow made a life. So it's the human spirit we're talking about here.\n\"We're trying to move ourselves into the present,\" he adds, \"and talk more to today's young veterans. I'm finding they're very similar to Vietnam vets. When they come home, they don't want to talk about it; they don't think people will understand.\"\nThroneberry, in fact, has his own stories about being shot down twice during combat. He knows the inclination not to talk; these guys never do. But on Veterans Radio, they're given the order: Stop being modest. Your stories reveal the sacrifice of military duty and represent those of comrades who didn't make it back home.\n\"People need to understand\u2009...\u2009veterans are just regular people who answered the call,\" Gould says.\nFor more information, go to veteransradio.net",

        "raw_content": "You Are Here: Home \u2192 News \u2192 Supplier News \u2192 Jabra reveals top workplace productivity trends globally\nJabra reveals top workplace productivity trends globally\nWorking from home now considered the most productive option while noisy colleagues are biggest distraction to getting the job done\nIn line with World Productivity Day on June 20th, Jabra, the global leader in audio and communication technology, is revealing the top workplace productivity trends. These are based on a survey1 amongst business professionals in the US, UK, Germany and France.\nHindering factors: Noise is still considered the number one deterrent to workplace productivity. The type of noise that annoys office workers most in all countries is colleagues talking to each other in their direct vicinity.\nMobility: The workforce has become more mobile between 2015 and 2018\nMeetings: Office workers see lack of preparation (38 per cent), decision-making (30 per cent) and attendees coming in late for a meeting (30 per cent) as the key obstacles to productive meetings.\nUS: According to 50 per cent of employees, discussions without a proper direction are the main obstacle to productive meetings.\nUK: Half a working day (43 per cent) is spent away from the desk at the office, be it walking around (13 per cent) or driving to places (9 per cent).\nFrance: The majority (56 per cent) of employees listen to music to focus or block out office noise.\nGermany: Half of office workers (52 per cent) are negatively affected by colleagues asking questions or dropping by for a chat.\nGlobal business battle\nEfforts to improve workplace productivity have long remained a constant battle for businesses globally. From the type of workplace to office dynamics, several factors play a critical role in influencing productivity levels at work. Recent data from The Conference Board2 shows a slight uptick in global productivity, but nowhere near a return to the pre-crisis growth rates \u2013 though continuing curiosity about how we organise work to improve productivity is key in keeping this momentum.\nResearch has shown that, on average, employees are distracted at work every three minutes3 and that it can take us as long as 25 minutes4 to refocus. In a world where businesses are striving for every possible efficiency and productivity gain, there is an imperative to resolve the age-old conflict between collaboration and concentration.\nWork is an activity, not a place\nHome office has emerged as a clear winner when it comes to productivity, with four times more employees in 2018 perceiving working from home to be the most productive option for them, compared to 2015. Nearly one in three (28 per cent) UK employees consider working from home to be the most productive \u2013 yet, interestingly, the majority (60 per cent) are not allowed to. This highlights that UK businesses still have a long way to go in providing flexible working options for their employees.\nWhile hot desking was the buzz word in the workplace just a few years ago, 2018 has certainly turned it cold: only 4 per cent of companies offer this type of office environment.\nWhat remained the same over the past three years is the fact that the \u2018open office\u2019 (30 per cent) is the most widespread office design. This makes it of utmost importance to understand how to make optimal use of open office spaces while limiting the hindering factors.\nInterestingly, temperature and amount of light were highly ranked in all markets as \u2013 when not at a comfortable level \u2013 negatively impacting productivity. Also cleanliness is considered an issue, though compared to the other markets, the French hardly (5 per cent) find this of importance.\nAlthough noise is still considered the number one deterrent to workplace productivity, fewer office workers in the UK (38 per cent) and US (35 per cent) listed noise as an issue in 2018 compared to 2015. This is a major difference from mainland Europe though, where Germans (54 per cent) and French (48 per cent) rate this issue much higher. The type of noise that annoys office workers in all countries most is colleagues talking to each other in their direct vicinity. Nevertheless, it is a positive trend that in some countries people start to experience less noise disruption, proving that technology like Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has had a significant impact on noise perception and increasing workplace productivity. The ongoing debate about how we organise work is making its mark.\nAnother way that business professionals choose to block out office noise is listening to music. Most employees listen to music at work to focus better. Music creates both a concentration zone and functions as a tool to relax and recharge. Employers must recognise that employees use music to lower their stress levels and work more productively. Interestingly, the survey highlighted that there are office workers in every country that are unsure if they are allowed to listen to music at work, suggesting that businesses should offer clear guidelines on multimedia consumption to avoid productivity being disrupted by uncertainty.\nGreater mobility of staff\nThe research also shows that the workforce has become more mobile in the past three years. A higher number of people claim that more time is spent away from their primary workplace. In the UK, on average almost half a working day (43 per cent) is spent away from the desk at the office, be it walking around (13 per cent) or driving to places (9 per cent). This data indicates not only a growing need to consult with colleagues to access expertise, but also a shift in the way we do business. In today\u2019s digital age, the need for mobile interaction and information exchange is increasingly important.\nFor most office workers meetings are considered an excellent platform to share knowledge between colleagues. Worryingly, in the past three years, we do not seem to have made much progress in making meetings more productive.\nOffice workers see lack of preparation (38 per cent), decision making (30 per cent) and attendees coming in late for a meeting (30 per cent) as the key obstacles to productive meetings. One of the fastest growing annoyances is meetings not starting on time due to technical issues: the US saw a 100 per cent increase and the UK a 111 per cent increase in such occurrences in 2018 compared to 2015.\nThe Millennial workforce (18\u201335 years) in particular find discussions without direction (46 per cent) to be the biggest cause of unproductive meetings, highlighting that businesses must look into ways to improve their internal meeting structures to ensure the most productive use of time.\nBjoern Ekner, Senior Director Product Marketing at Jabra said: \u201cMonitoring the state of modern office work is a key initiative for us and I am pleased to once again share our insights. In order to understand the dynamics of knowledge work, we have to stay curious. We need to create the optimal environment for office workers to thrive and eliminate what gets in the way of their focus and the ability to collaborate. This year\u2019s number one hurdle for productivity in the workplace, was once again noise. I hope managers and leaders will join Jabra in helping secure the \u2018concentration zone\u2019 for our employees.\u201d\n1 Source: Jabra & Kantar \u2018Knowledge Worker Study 2018\u2019, June 2018, 1,350 respondents\n2 https://www.conference-board.org/press/pressdetail.cfm?pressid=7372\n3 https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887324339204578173252223022388\n4 https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/05/opinion/sunday/a-focus-on-distraction.html?_r=0",

Our sensors can be produced in a large range of sizes and shapes and can be made to respond and analyse a single point or multiple points of pressure.\nOur resistive pressure sensors are formed from a textile sandwich with our patented Csquared Quantum technology at the core. This gives our product a lower probability of false positives, and makes them more sensitive, flexible and durable, easy to integrate into existing products and with a low energy requirement, only requiring energy when in use. The technology in our fabric is based on a conductive ink which harnesses quantum science to create sensors with super controllability whilst reducing the cost of production and remaining environmentally friendly.\nReadings from the textile are transmitted via a conductive ribbon \u2013 no wires \u2013 to an electronic component, and can be transmitted via Bluetooth.",

It is also the premiere title in a new series of Searcher magazine books.\n\"With this book, Web searchers will be well-equipped to tackle the international challenges that come their way,\" Quint said. \"It sets the pace for the Searcher series, which will feature expert tips, techniques, strategies, and recommended resources for online searchers.\" According to Quint, many of the books in the series will be supported by companion Web sites that can be updated to add reader value, as is the case with International Business Information on the Web.\nLanza said, \"Researchers can use this book to evaluate foreign industries and companies, identify global business trends and opportunities, find overseas buyers and suppliers, investigate potential partners and competitors, uncover international market research, and much more.\"\nInternational Business Information on the Web covers resources for Global Research, Central & Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Latin America & the Caribbean, The Middle East & North Africa, Canada & Mexico, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia & the Pacific.\nIn support of the book, the publisher has launched the International Business Information (IBI) Directory on the Web, which includes links to over 1,000 recommended sites. Web searchers who have purchased the book can use the IBI Directory as a starting point for their international business research projects. To keep up with shifting Web resources and to extend the value of the book to readers, the IBI Directory will be periodically updated by the author and publisher.\nLanza is the president and owner of Global InfoResources, Inc., which provides business research services to a domestic and global clientele. She has written for various industry publications, including Searcher, Database, and The Information Advisor. She also speaks frequently at events or industry meetings such as the annual conference for the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP), Special Libraries Association (SLA), Open Source Solutions, and Internet Librarian. Lanza is also the International Specialty Scan editor for The CyberSkeptic's Guide to Internet Research.\nThe OPL Sourcebook\nThe OPL Sourcebook is a comprehensive handbook and directory for small and one-person libraries (OPLs). It covers organizational culture, customer service, time management and planning, budgeting, accounting, technology, collection development, education, outsourcing, and other key management issues.\nTaking an international approach to reflect the growing number of OPLs worldwide, author Siess provides a brief history of the OPL movement; shares tips, techniques, and case studies; discusses knowledge management strategies for OPLs; and offers practical advice geared to help OPLs thrive in an increasingly digitized (and downsized) future. The directory section includesorganizations, publications, vendors and suppliers, discussion lists, and Web sites. The book concludes with an annotated bibliography and an index.\n\"Often called a solo librarian, an OPL is the only librarian (or professional librarian) in a library or information center,\" Siess said. \"Most OPLs work in special libraries, serving a specialized or limited clientele, with specialized or limited materials and services.\" She points to corporate libraries, law libraries, prison or jail libraries, and hospital libraries as some typical types of OPLs.\nAccording to Siess, the challenges OPLs face differ significantly from those of librarians working in larger organizations. \"The OPL does everything, from acquisitions to cataloging to circulation to reference\u2014even dusting the shelves and vacuuming the library, if necessary ... there are no peers with whom to share problems, ideas, or to commiserate with when things get tough. It is a challenging position, but also a rewarding one.\" In focusing on solutions for the solo librarian, Siess feels her book fills an important need.\nAccording to the announcement, Siess is recognized as one of the world's leading experts on solo librarianship. She was the first chair of SLA's Solo Librarians' Division, founder of the Agricultural Economics Reference Organization, and a member of the first People-to-People Citizen Ambassador delegation of Information Management and Special Librarianship to the Republic of South Africa. She is the editor and publisher of The One-Person Library: A Newsletter for Librarians and Management, and the author of a previous book, The Solo Librarian's Sourcebook.",

It brings to Brazil some of the most important names in global urban art, including artists from the United States, Argentina, the Czech Republic and France.\nThe initiative will use the MASP architecture as a basis for graffiti, photography, video, sculpture, painting, mural paintings, collages, and installations. Each artist will create site-specific works. The artists will also work on the outside area of the museum.\nThe work is collaborative: each artist's work will be in direct dialogue with that of the others.\nThe central idea of \u200b\u200bInside Out/ Outside In is to cause the audience to experience the feeling of not knowing where the art starts and where it ends. It may be everywhere: under the stairs, behind a frame or into a hole, both inside and outside the museum.\nThe following parallel activities will be held during the exhibition:\nA workshop entitled \"Art, the museum and the city,\" about public art, urban art, creative economy and the future of the city. It will be held on September 21 in the Grand Auditorium of MASP.\n12 classes on urban art, history and contemporary art from September 5 to October 3.\nFestival of Urban Culture Videos, held once a month in the small auditorium of MASP.\nRoundtables on matters related to pop culture, such as graffiti, street art, skateboarding, tattoos and more.\nAn interactive website that explores cutting-edge technologies and social networks.

After being a leading news feature all day, effectively it had disappeared as a news item by mid-Saturday. 4 pages into a Google search and I can find nothing about Milliband\u2019s speech or the furore it created more recent than \u20184 days ago\u2019, online or in printed media. On the Friday, I anticipated the Sunday papers being full of analysis, argument and counter-argument about the speech. Nothing!..or at least nothing I could find. Undoubtedly Milliband was subject to a decidedly-vitriolic response from the Tories \u2013 environment secretary Liz Truss saying: \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely offensive that Ed Miliband should be suggesting that David Cameron is directly responsible for those deaths, which is what he appears to be suggesting.\u201d (BBC News, 2015b) Even Cameron\u2019s Liberal Democrat coalition deputy Nick Clegg called Miliband\u2019s remarks \u201cpretty distasteful\u201d and accused the Labour leader of \u201cpolitical point-scoring\u201d on the back of a \u201ctotal human tragedy\u201d.

        "raw_content": "Cutting-edge technology and AI combating poaching in Southern Africa\nAfricaDeep diveEnterprise SecurityFeaturesFeaturesHardwareRegional NewsSoftwareSouth AfricaTop Stories\nSouth Africa has by far the largest population of rhinos in the world and is an important country for rhino conservation. However, more than 1,000 rhinos were killed last year as a result of poaching, with gangs now moving to neighbouring countries. Intelligent CIO hears from one woman who is trying to combat poaching thanks to Artificial Intelligence.\nColleen Glaeser is the Global Marketing Director for AxxonSoft, one of the largest tech security companies in the world.\nShe is also the owner of South African luxury safari lodge, Karkloof Safari Villas, and has seen first hand the carnage rhino and elephant poaching can have. Therefore, she has innovatively combined both AxxonSoft and Karkloof to combat it.\n\u201cThe technology utilises the latest surveillance and security solutions, which incorporates Deep Learning, which is a method under Artificial Intelligence (AI). This technology has been adapted to tell the difference between humans and animals.\n\u201cPrior to the incorporation of Deep Learning in anti-poaching surveillance, software often failed control rooms and response units in that false alarms were on many occasions, set off by animals, insects and weather. Control rooms were not able to tell the difference between an actual threat and a false alarm, which often resulted in exhausting resources as teams were dispatched for animals who had touched the fence while grazing in their natural habitat.\n\u201cAxxonSoft\u2019s Deep Learning solution now alerts the operators in the control room to an immediate poaching threat as poachers try and breech the fence perimeter to enter the reserve or park.\u201d\nTaking around six months to rollout and implement, the technology has been widely received.\n\u201cThere are rangers on the ground, but they can\u2019t be everywhere especially when you\u2019re dealing with 2,000 acres,\u201d said Glaeser.\n\u201cAnd then you have another complication where the animals might bump the fence and set off an alarm that the electric fence is being disturbed.\n\u201cHowever now, if an alarm goes off, it will only pick up a human and not an animal. We\u2019ve had extremely good success with some arrests being made. The rangers feel more equipped because they know where to go and it won\u2019t be a false alarm. You want to see what type of ammunition people are carrying and what type of arms. And that can only done through surveillance.\n\u201cThe technology has really been grasped by farm and park owners and we\u2019re currently in negotiations with some of the major parks to deploy this type of surveillance. In the past, they had nowhere to go and didn\u2019t know what they were dealing with. Poachers come well-armed and with a lot of technology behind them, like drones they can access, whereas the park owners don\u2019t have as much to combat it. So, this technology really helps.\n\u201cIt provides a proactive solution to surveillance whereas previous systems were somewhat archaic and reactive in their response to real threats. Our Deep Learning technology has been extremely successful thus far in telling the difference between animals and humans.\n\u201cAxxonSoft has developed a process for adapting neural network filters to the needs of a specific site. The neural network learns to perform customer-specific tasks from video material obtained at the site, which guarantees high-quality results. To resolve issues of high resource consumption related to AI, AxxonSoft uses a blended approach with a neural network filter applied to an object tracker \u2014 the filter can identify a specific type of moving objects or abandoned items.\u201d\nThe technology is available in the Intellect PSIM and the Axxon Next VMS. The classic object tracker detects moving objects or abandoned items in the FoV, before it passes the section of the frame with the object to the neural network for analysis. Any objects that don\u2019t match the defined type are ignored by video analytics in that they don\u2019t trigger an alarm.\n\u201cThis technology is applied to video that captures high movement from interference (i.e. beyond the object of interest), such as trees blowing in the wind, light reflected off water, traffic and machinery,\u201d said Glaeser.\n\u201cUsage examples are alarms that are activated when people appear in hazardous areas of a facility, or applications that reduce the number of false alarms for abandoned objects in public spaces.\u201d\nAxxonSoft has also implemented a process for tailoring deep learning video analytics to the requirements of a specific site. To guarantee high quality results, the neural network learns to perform customer-specific tasks from on-site recorded videos.\nGlaeser felt that she needed to use her knowledge and expertise within the industry to help curb rhino poaching.\n\u201cI see myself as a normal businesswoman but have climbed the ladder pretty high in terms of this industry and have become a sort of thought leader where people approach me in South Africa all the time in how they can use what we\u2019ve done and how they can apply the technology,\u201d she said.\n\u201cI know there are a lot of foundations that support the prevention of rhino poaching but my main goal is to have safe parks and nature reserves, so that when people are travelling, they ask if this is a safe park, do you have the type of analytics that are protecting the wildlife and animals and have the owners taken all the necessary precautions to prevent poaching?\n\u201cIt\u2019s an atrocity when you\u2019re on the ground dealing with this. We\u2019ve now perfected this and it\u2019s working. We just need to raise awareness that the technology is out there, through AI and Deep Learning and we\u2019ve adapted the technology and made it into a smart park.\u201d\nGlaeser says her team has worked with various countries within the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and the company is looking to expand the technology into other parts of the continent.\n\u201cIt takes a team to make this work,\u201d said Glaeser.\n\u201cFrom the development team at AxxonSoft Global, to the rangers and control room on the ground, we all come together to make these projects a success. Furthermore, we have over 300 staff members within AxxonSoft and 5,800 partners across the world.\n\u201cI do believe hunting has a place in the ecosystem if it\u2019s done for culling but to just to come and shoot an animal because their horns are very big and they\u2019re going to hang it up on their wall is\nnot for me. I\u2019m not against culling if it\u2019s necessary but I am against shooting just for pleasure. Some of the countries in Africa are third world countries, so it\u2019s about reaching out to them.\u201d\nNatterbox CEO on \u2018nightmares\u2019 faced when calling contact centres\nDarktrace expert on cyberattacks targeting the maritime sector",

        "title": "Explaining Suicide to Children - In The Know Zone",
        "raw_content": "This certainly ranks among the most terrible prospects a parent can face. The age, maturity and emotional resilience of the child, his or her relationship with the deceased, and many other considerations will factor into your approach to this painful subject, but there is one hard and fast rule: DO NOT LIE!\nIf you lie to \u201cprotect\u201d the child from a hurtful truth, you will almost certainly regret it. The child will learn the truth, eventually, and your well-intentioned lie will severely undermine your future credibility on serious matters. The child may also feel compelled to honor the lie after discovering the truth. This may cause him or her to repress the feelings the event evokes, delaying or crippling his ability to deal with the reality of the situation.\nIf the child is too young to understand the concept of depression, an explanation like this might help: \u201cHe had a very serious sickness in his brain that made him so sad he didn\u2019t want to live any more.\u201d\nChildren tend to personalize all experiences, and they need reassurance that suicide is a very rare event, and not something likely to befall them.\nAdults tend to think of early childhood, in particular, as a sunny and rather oblivious period in life, and attribute great resilience to children. In truth, children harbor as many dark, frightening and angry thoughts as adults \u2013 if not more. And they are even more vulnerable to severe emotional distress. They simply lack the adult\u2019s mechanisms for expressing it. This may lead to what adults perceive as \u201cinappropriate\u201d responses \u2013 behaving as if nothing has happened, unprovoked outbursts of anger, or extreme withdrawal. Criticizing such behavior will only deepen the child\u2019s insecurity and pain. The only appropriate response is to make sure the child understands that he or she has your loving support, and an attentive ear to whatever he is willing to talk about regarding the pain, loss, fear and guilt he, too, is experiencing..\nIt is commonplace for young children with no real understanding of death to declare in a moment of anger that they wish a parent or sibling dead. If that person subsequently dies, the child may be devastated by the belief that he or she actually caused the death by wishing it. Children \u2013 like adults \u2013 are also likely to feel that they could somehow have prevented the death. They must understand that they are in no way responsible for the deceased\u2019s decision and act.\nIn your own pain and anger, you may be tempted to demonize the deceased to the child, to accuse him or her of abandoning you, suggesting that you and the child are co-victims of a malicious act. Such a response may be understandable, and even therapeutic for the adult, but it could be emotionally devastating to the child, who already harbors feelings of abandonment, anger and guilt.\nBe sure in explaining the death to a child that you make it clear that the deceased was not a bad person, but a deeply depressed person who made a bad choice.\nChildren should also be made to understand that not everyone who feels very sad or falls ill will die from it. He or she should be assured that there are doctors and others who can help\nCommunication is all-important. Children recovering from the shock of a suicide need to be regularly reassured that they can talk and ask questions about any aspect of the death that concerns them. And they need to be assured that they will not always feel the way they do now.

        "raw_content": "General description/\nDESCRIPTION OF SIAM (Marine Environmental Information System).\nPrint EL SIAM: EL COMPENDIO DE INFORMACI\u00d3N MARINA Y COSTERA DEL SINA\nINVEMAR has advanced a sustained effort over a decade aimed at developing software tools that serve to collect and organize data and information to support both the construction of new knowledge and governance. The result is shown in the many products offered by the Marine Environmental Information System of Colombia some of which are related below.\nFor those who require data on biodiversity; SIAM provides all the information in the collections of the Museum of Natural History in Colombia and existing information in the Gorgona Island and data resulting from the monitoring of coral areas in Colombia.\nThe water quality is a major concern of both the authorities and the public in general, and SIAM offers data access as a product of INVEMAR\u00b4s advancement in systematic monitoring since 1997.\nThe system gives the user plenty of cartographic information, including tools that allow you to combine the existing thematic information according to your needs.\nSIAM also offers the opportunity to access a variety of documents, including most of the publications that INVEMAR has generated.\nSIAM is a tool that continuously grows both in content and in the type of services offered. This is how, that since February 2010, INVEMAR provides oceanographic and meteorological information of the islands in the Colombian Caribbean region from buoys and stations that continuously transmit data to INVEMAR CENTERS.\nTo learn about the project objectives of the SIAM software see:\nTo access available data visit:\nSIAM - ACCESS TO DATA\nYou can also keep up on Siam following us on Twitter: SIAM_COLOMBIA\nIf you visit us please let us know your opinion about existing services or its requirements by filling in the survey accessed at:\nThe Marine Environment Information System (SIAM) - Conceptual Model\nSIAM is the integrated set of elements such as: conceptual, policies, standards, processes, human resources and technologies that articulate the marine coastal environmental information generated, managed and/or required at the national, regional and local levels.\nSIAM aims to develop tools for collection, analysis and management of environmental information and use of marine and coastal resources of Colombia, as a support for knowledge generation, decision-making and managing a sustainable development in an environment that encourages citizen participation.\n1. Adapt, adopt or develop standards, protocols, processes and technological solutions for the capture, generation, processing, flow, dissemination and management of information generated by the sector.\n2. To facilitate access and availability of environmental information, as a strategy to respond to the requests of information at local, regional, national and international levels.\n3. Generate data for establishing the state and use of environments and resources in marine and coastal areas in order to promote environmental management.\n4. To support the integrated environmental management at a national level, through the provision of services, the introduction and development of technologies that allow integration with the Environmental Information System of Colombia\n5. To support the processes of knowledge generation, transfer and implementation of technologies of information.\nThe SIAM has two important elements that when articulated guide its development:\nThe conceptual support, based on themes: Biodiversity, Monitoring of marine environments, efficient use of resources, secure coexistence with nature and a support of the integrated environmental management. Conceptual thematic axes that guide the processes of research and development in information technologies of SIAM are designed to answer questions about...\n\u2022 Biodiversity, through generating information and knowledge on marine and coastal biodiversity, as well as the phenomena and processes that govern its existence.\n\u2022 The efficient use of resources, producing status information and assessment of the biological, economic and social potential of natural marine and coastal resources.\n\u2022 Support for integrated environmental management, through instruments that incorporate governance, the biophysical, socio-cultural, economic aspects in terms of scientific knowledge in the management of marine and coastal natural resources by implementing concepts, methodologies, techniques and tools that contribute to the Integrated Management of Coastal areas in Colombia.\n\u2022 Monitoring of the marine environment, generating information that answers questions about the chemical and sanitary quality of sea and coastal waters of the country and providing knowledge about the impact of phenomena caused by human activities in the structure and dynamics of marine ecosystems.\n\u2022 The safe coexistence with nature, generating knowledge and information on the physical aspects of marine and coastal areas in terms of geologic, oceanographic and climactic processes.\n1. The technological base that provides support from the tools necessary to guarantee and ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of the system. It is the component that has all the logical support, provides all the necessary technological support of the principal themes, and consists of:\n\u2022 Structured Data System\n\u2022 Spatial Data Systems\n\u2022 System of documentary information\n2. The systems that gather information collected during the research activities carried out on a regular or occasional basis.\n3.

        "raw_content": "Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h taught that each human being is \"a mine rich in gems\" unknown even to the owner, let alone to others, and inexhaustible in its wealth. The purpose of life is to develop these capacities both for one's own life and for the service of humanity. Life in this world, as Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h presents it, is like the life of a child in the womb of its mother: the moral, intellectual, and spiritual powers which a human being develops here, with the help of God, will be the \"limbs\" and \"organs\" needed for the soul's progress in the worlds beyond this earthly one.\nThe way of life which Bah\u00e1'\u00eds seek to cultivate, therefore, is one that encourages personal development. Daily prayer and meditation free the soul from conditioned patterns and open it to new possibilities. Joining in projects with peoples of diverse backgrounds breaks down traditional prejudices. The use of alcohol or narcotic drugs is avoided, except when prescribed for medical reasons, because these substances eventually deaden the mind. The latter is also true of the habit of backbiting, which weakens trust between people and undermines the spirit of unity upon which human progress depends. Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h's writings attach great importance to the institution of the family as the foundation of human society. The sanctity of marriage, recognition of the equality of the husband and wife, and the use of consultation are especially emphasized.\nFor the individual, the day-to-day practice of the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed Faith gradually becomes an entirely new way of life. Yet, in contrast to the image of a religious lifestyle that is cloistered or ignorant of worldly concerns, the way of life for Bah\u00e1'\u00eds and their families is one which is at once and the same time both deeply spiritual and eminently practical.\nFor while Bah\u00e1'\u00eds are encouraged - indeed, it is considered a religious obligation - to pray and meditate every day, they are also expected to be wholly engaged with the world at large. In particular, Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h asks that Bah\u00e1'\u00eds view service to humanity as among their highest priorities.\nIn this regard, Bah\u00e1'\u00eds outwardly appear to lead a life that is in many respects not much different from their friends and neighbors: they work, raise families, participate in community affairs and enjoy such modern social activities as watching movies or television, attending or competing in athletic games, and taking part in festivals and other general cultural events.\nWhether one is born into a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed family or a new declarant, the spiritual growth that one strives for as a Bah\u00e1'\u00ed becomes a life-long process. Whether in terms of spiritual practice, moral behavior, social activism or community participation, Bah\u00e1'\u00eds seek to continually improve themselves and the world around them. The Inner Life\nLike the Messengers of God that have come before Him, Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h explained that prayer is among the most important ways to cultivate spiritual growth and development. Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h wrote thousands of prayers. There are prayers for general use, for healing, for spiritual growth, for tests and trials, for marriage, for community life, for children and for humanity itself.\nBah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h also said that although the supplicant may at first remain unaware of the effect of prayer, the grace of God \"must needs sooner or later exercise its influence upon his soul.\"\nOther spiritual obligations include meditation and fasting. Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h asked that His followers spend some time each day reading the Word of God and reflecting on its meaning. Bah\u00e1'\u00eds understand that the writings of Bah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h are the Word of God for this age, and that such reading and meditation has a transforming effect on the soul.\nBah\u00e1'u'll\u00e1h did not, however, specify a particular format for meditation. Instead, each individual is free to choose his or her own form of meditation. For some Bah\u00e1'\u00eds it may be enough to spend a few minutes contemplating the meaning of a passage in the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed writings each day. Others may incorporate more rigorous forms into their daily routine. One important practice, however, is to reflect on the day's events each evening, to consider the value and worth of one's deeds.\nThe obligation to fast occurs yearly, a practice which is common among virtually all of the world's religions. For Bah\u00e1'\u00eds the Fast occurs every March, for nineteen days from the 2nd to the 20th. During this period, Bah\u00e1'\u00eds abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset, about 12 hours each day. It is considered to be a time for deep reflection and spiritual renewal. However, for those who are ill, pregnant and/or nursing, traveling, or over 70 years old, the Fast is not obligatory.\nIn all of the Faith's spiritual practices, there are essentially no rituals. The only time Bah\u00e1'\u00eds are obligated to pray in a congregational manner, for example, is in praying for the dead. Nor is there a priesthood or a clergy. The individual is, accordingly, responsible for his or her own spiritual growth. All forms of superstition are eschewed, and people are not reliant on rituals or clergy for their spiritual progress.\nBeyond the essentials of prayer, meditation and fasting, Bah\u00e1'\u00eds view good deeds and service to humanity as the most important elements of spiritual training and progress.\nThe principles which guide Bah\u00e1'\u00eds in their interactions with the outside world are the same high moral values that have been taught in all of the world's major religions: love, compassion, courtesy, charity, faithfulness, honesty, trustworthiness, and humility.\nIn the concept of service, all of these values come together. Whether in terms of family relationships, where the goal is to serve one's spouse, children and parents, or in terms of the community at large, where one is to promote the well-being of others either through their profession, trade, business or volunteer community projects, Bah\u00e1'\u00eds understand that it is through service to others that we can best develop our own selves - and reach the highest levels of human happiness.",

        "title": "A New Phase in Our Digital Lives | Pew Research Center",
        "raw_content": "A New Phase in Our Digital Lives\nSome people describe it as The End of the Internet, though that is probably a misnomer.\nOthers, at the risk of clich\u00e9, might call it News 3.0.\nMaybe the best way to understand what is occurring today with the way people interact with the news and technology is to think of it as the end of our digital childhood.\nBy whatever term you give it, the latest biennial survey on news consumption from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press reveals signs of a new phase, perhaps even a new era, in the acquisition and consumption of news.\nAnd there is every reason to expect the shift will only accelerate now with a new wave of technology devices \u2013 from smartphones to iPad-style devices \u2013 which the data do not fully measure.\nIn the last two years, people have begun to do more than replace old news platforms with new ones. Instead, the numbers suggest that people are beginning to exploit the capacity of the technology to interact with information differently.\nThis notion \u2013 that we are beginning to use the tools differently without necessarily abandoning the old ones \u2013 can be seen first in the amount of time people spend getting news. Compared with much of the past decade, people say they are spending more time each day acquiring or interacting with news.\nIn addition to the roughly one hour they spend with traditional platforms \u2013 which is largely unchanged from a decade ago \u2013 on average they spend another 13 minutes a day getting news online. Traditional platform use has stabilized (or has declined only slightly) in the last few years. And the online numbers, as the survey report notes, do not include time spent getting news on cell phones or other digital devices, the arena where news producers are now focusing so much of their effort and seeing so much potential.\nThe data reinforce findings that we began to see earlier this year when the Project for Excellence in Journalism and the Pew Internet and American Life Project collaborated on a survey that explored the new participatory culture for news. That survey asked a new battery of questions and opened up new areas of inquiry. The newest People-Press survey also tracks the trends on long-standing questions, adding to our knowledge about these shifts.\nWhy have we moved into this new phase \u2014 where people are not simply replacing old technologies with new but using new ones for different things or in different ways, augmenting their more traditional behavior?\nOne explanation is that the content is changing. News producers are beginning to understand how they can deliver news in new ways to create new understanding, whether through the use of online graphics, customizing news to fit a consumer\u2019s interest or location, or recognizing the public as a community that participates in the news rather than an audience that receives it. Another factor is improved connections and faster speeds that bring the technology\u2019s potential to life. A third is that consumers themselves are changing, recognizing that each platform has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. The strength of an aggregator or search engine, which allows someone to find answers to his or her own specific questions, is very different from the agenda-setting power of a newscast or a newspaper front page (even online), in which the news is ordered and presented for you. The power of a social networking site to tell you what people you know are thinking about or reading is different than the convenience of using a smartphone on the spur of the moment to check a fact or scan a headline.\nAnd these notions are reinforced in the data about why people say they use different media. News has many different functions in our lives; the proliferation of devices, platforms and products makes that variety more recognizable for us as consumers. The quick scan of news we might get from a cell phone is a different experience from the deeper interaction that users of the iPad say that they experience with those devices. The survey data show this is even true for traditional media. A large majority of regular CNN viewers say they turn to it for the latest news and headlines, while Bill O\u2019Reilly\u2019s viewers turn to him for interesting views and opinions. The numbers reveal USA Today has a different function for its readers (primarily the latest headlines) than do the two other national papers in the United States, the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times, which are more valued for in-depth reporting.\nThe numbers also reveal some older publications, because of their strengths, are appealing to new audiences in ways they almost certainly never could have without the creative destruction and promise of the digital age. Regular readers of The New York Times are young \u2013 34% are younger than 30, compared with 23% of the public \u2013 suggesting that a new generation of readers is discovering virtues of the newspaper that had been known as the Old Gray Lady. The growing popularity of search engines, directing people to sites like nytimes.com, apparently has had an effect.\nIt all points to something we might have forgotten. The medium may not quite be the message, as Marshall McLuhan argued two generations ago. But the medium does make a difference. Different platforms serve us differently, and there is now more evidence people are integrating all of them into their lives.\nRead the survey.",

        "raw_content": "First off, You've got a solo tour coming up so talk about that and how you're looking forward to it.\nI love getting out there and playing guitar and doing the instrumental thing because I love that music. I love that instrumental music but I wanted to do a different kind of instrumental show and albums and all that stuff. So, what goes on in the show is a very planned out show with things going on and production and different styles of music. I was looking at it like when I take my wife to go see an instrumental show. I'm looking at it that way, like taking people to a show like I do when I'm taking my wife to a show because they're not into this kind of music so they get bored so I wanted to make this like \"something new will happen\" so for the everyday person watching these shows it will be interesting. Sometimes we'll be playing a rock song and the next song we'll be doing like a bluegrass song and to anyone that would be interesting even though it's so different and then there's cool production that's happening so we really take our time to plan it all out and take our time and it's been going really well.\nSo, we start in Michigan on the 4th and we continue on through March. I think I'm working everyday, I have one day off and that's because we're traveling. It's a lot of fun and there's a really great meet and greet as well. You get to watch sound check which is really cool and you get to take a picture with one of my guitars and all that stuff and go back there and see the guitars which I always thought, \"What would I want to do if I got a really cool meet and greet package.\" I kind of just put myself into the situation.\nWhen it comes to these shows, John. Is it just going to be you or do you have any other band members?\nNo, it's called John 5 and The Creatures and there's a bass player and a drummer. It's been going great. I've been releasing a new song and a new video the first of every month and that started January 1st so you can see that on the website (www.john-5.com) or my YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/john5officialYT) or whatever, it's really interesting though.\nYou just released the \"Behind The Nut Love\" video for this month that people are going to be able to listen to and watch. When it comes to your music videos is there anything that you try to put across in your videos that would be different then a video you would do with Rob (Zombie?)\nWell yeah. People watch music nowadays. Especially with what I'm doing, people want to see what I'm doing and how I'm doing it, playing it and stuff like that. But, the first video is called the \"Black Grass Plague\" and that one I play banjo and I play mandolin. The second one is \"Behind The Nut Love\" and it shows me doing all this behind the back stuff because people always want to see me doing stuff. The next one is called \"Making Monsters\" and that one's really cool, that one comes out March 1st. It's all stop-animation, it's me as an action figure and Frankenstein and Wolf Man and Dracula, The Mummy and their all moving and it's a really cool video.\nWhen it comes to the persona that you've created and the characters you've put together with your look onstage, how did that come about?\nWhen I was so little, just a little kid, I was really infatuated with Frankenstein and Creature From The Black Lagoon and that kind of stuff. I really, really liked it and was inspired by that because I was a little, little kid but it stuck with me this whole time and it's comforting in a way. But what Lon Chaney was doing with his makeup, I just thought that was so cool. I thought this as a kid and that if I ever do something then I'd want to do something like this because this is entertaining. People want to be entertained that's for sure. That's how I look at it, people want to be entertained and they want to see some stuff and that's why I did it.\nAbsolutely. As part of what you do with your makeup and your style, I'd love you to take a second to talk about your stage name, John 5. It's been addressed that it came across in your time with Marilyn Manson but is there any kind of story behind how the 5 was chosen for you?\nYa know, I wish there was some kind of a cool story, like a ritual or something that happened that was really cool but what really happened was I went to lunch with Manson, I'd never met him before, he asked me to be in the band and he actually just told me, \"Look, we're going to call you, John 5.\" and it was pretty much that simple. It's kind of a biblical meaning because he wanted to do everything with numbers at the time. It's funny, I was just telling Flash this story last night. We were texting each other because he had a friend who wanted to know the story behind my name.\nFrom my understanding, after you wrap up your solo tour, you'll be going back out on the road with Rob in April?\nYes, at the end of April. We'll head right into it and hit all these big festivals and it's going to be a blast. I love doing those shows, those big, open air shows. The weather's nice, your friends are there, there are other bands you like. It's a lot of fun, I really enjoy it a lot so I'm looking forward to it.\nIs the current, upcoming part of the Zombie tour going to be mostly open air festivals or are there any smaller city stops mixed in between at the moment?\nI think it's going to be a little bit of both which is really cool. This new Zombie record (The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser) is just killer! We're really looking forward to getting out there and playing some new songs.\nFor your new record do you guys have a release date set?\nI think it's April 29th, with the first day of the tour.\nSince you've been with Rob, for sure, you've started taking on a lot of score work with him, from not only Lords of Salem but also his upcoming movie 31. Do you enjoy things like doing musical scores? I figure you would because of how much you dig on instrumental shows but talk about how that fell on to you.\nI've always been doing score music most of my life. I didn't really talk about it that much but I did work on Baywatch and all these other movies and things like that which a lot of people don't know about. I'm not a huge fan of doing score work but for Rob I'll do anything for the guy. I love to do his movies, I should say that. I love to do Zombie's movies, he knows exactly what he wants. He gives me all the answers to the tests. He's like, \"Give me something this long. Give me something like this. Give me something like that.\" He makes it so enjoyable and so easy to do with his direction.\nI've got to tell you, John. I'm very fortunate to get to talk with the people I get to talk with and I love to talk about history and you, to be honest, have a really exciting history from the people that you've been able to work with. From Rob Halford, to David Lee Roth, to Marilyn Manson and to Rob Zombie. I'd love for you to talk a little bit about that progression and what it was like being with, for example, Rob Halford, in a goth industrial band like 2wo to moving into working with David Lee Roth and everything he does which is a little more Van Halen-esque.\nWell, if you go even wider range, when I was playing with Rob Halford I was also in K.D. Lang (Canadian pop and country singer and songwriter) and that's so different because we were just playing a really cool adult contemporary, country thing and then going and playing with Halford. I loved that. I'm just a fan of music. As long as it's good, I'm a huge fan of music. That's how I've always been, I just really, really enjoy listening to all different kinds of music and playing all different kinds of music. It's a blessing, I'm telling you.\nWhen you look back at your history and what's been written in the book of John 5 right now. From everything going back to Red Square Black, to 2wo, to K.D. Lang, David Lee Roth, Marilyn, all your solo records and Rob, how do you feel about the progression you've done? Not only the work you've done but the experiences you've had?\nWell, it's all experience, it's all life and it's all intravenous. It's funny because I love history as well and I keep a record of what I've done. A lot of people don't know this either but I love giving people real information. What I do is I collect every single laminate, not pass, but every laminate because when I play a show 10 out of 10 times you get a laminate. So you know you're part of the band, you know you're part of the event and what is going on. So I have every single laminate since I was maybe 18 playing professional gigs until now so we're talking hundreds of laminates. They're from Halford and Manson but not just Manson in general, we're talking probably a hundred Manson laminates from the Big Day Out to a special Halloween show, or the Universal Amphitheater show or the Jay Leno appearance. That's the same thing with Zombie, just hundreds so there's a book that I have of every single show I've done. Even when I went to go play with Ace Frehley so it's really a cool piece of history that I like to open up and show people that come over once in a while. Rob was over, Zombie was over at my house a while ago and I showed him because he was like, \"Oh my God! I don't even remember this show or that show.\" and it's cool, ya know?\nI also have every single pick that I had made, ya know because sometimes you have picks made for a tour and I have all of those too. I had my first pick made when I was 10 years old and I have them from 10 years old all the way til now. It's really neat and they're all in these books. So, I do love the history of things and it's a really fun thing to go back and look at and the future is definitely bright.\nIs there any particular time frame or tour that really jumped out? Even if it was so much as a show, maybe a Halloween show or even a TV appearance but is there a time frame or a period that you really hold close? Or, does just your respect and love to be able to play keep everything close?\nThat is a great question and I enjoy touring but the greatest, most incredible, fun, comforting time is summer time and playing those festivals. I've been doing this my whole life just about and it is unbelievable. It feels like a warm blanket because you're playing these shows and you're with your friends, you're with these other bands that you know, everything was done for you, there's tons of people all happy, everyone's having a great time and every day's just a blast. It's that summer time, big festival season in America. I love it! Love it, love it, love it, love it! It's true, too.\nI wanted to ask you because like some of the other interviews I've done to start this year I've felt obligated almost out of necessity but also out of respect to ask this question. I'd love you to give your take on what has gone down with some of the big names we've lost in music this year. If there's anything you'd like to talk about whether it was about Bowie or Lemmy or Jimmy Bain, I'd love you to take a second to talk about it.\nIt is a shame that we've lost so many icons and so many amazing musicians and songwriters. It's crazy, even Paul Kantner, Jefferson Starship, it's just a sad thing. Here's the reality. It's going to happen. One time or another it's going to happen, it's inevitable. But, for it to all happen in such a snowball effect is so sad. It was a very hard beginning of 2016, end of 2015 and very sad because we did lose some huge icons and one-of-a-kind people. There's not another Lemmy, there's not another Scott Weiland and things like that. There's not another David Bowie so it's a huge, huge loss. It's a huge loss when anybody passes and it's very sad but, I guess, it's going to happen to all of us but the snowball effect was a really, really hard thing to swallow.\nWhen you look at yourself, from making your first picks at 10 all the way up to the show you have coming up to start this tour, how do you feel about yourself and your progression and how you've improved over your career?\nWell, I feel that I have improved. I always try to improve myself with learning something different all the time. All the time, I'm trying to push myself and learn new things and that's the whole seeds of what I do. That is what makes me happy, that love and knowledge is power. If you listen to my records, my instrumental records, they're all different from each other. They're the same kind of style but they're all different licks and different ideas and different this, that and the other thing because I love to learn. At a business sense too, I'm so happy with how things are going because I'm happy. I'm happy with what I'm doing and I love playing these intimate venues that I'm playing. I'm being completely honest, I love being up close and personal with the crowd when I play these shows. I've done big instrumental shows but I really enjoy playing the smaller ones where the people are right up against you and I think that's really a lot of fun. Then, I have the privilege of playing these huge, massive shows as well so I really get the best of both worlds and I'm so happy and content with what's been going on. I just couldn't have wished a better life. It's a lot of fun. I really enjoy myself doing this and if I didn't I wouldn't be doing it, that's for sure.",

        "title": "Changing Corporate Perceptions of the Value of Humor",
        "raw_content": "Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.\nWork vs. Prison\nIn prison, you spend most of your time wanting to get out, looking through bars from the inside. At work, you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars. In prison, you get three free meals a days. At work, you only get a break for one meal, and you pay for it.\n\"Most of the time I don\u2019t have much fun. The rest of the time, I don\u2019t have any fun at all.\" (Woody Allen)\nA funny thing is happening in American companies these days. From very small companies to Fortune 500 corporations, businesses are learning to put fun to work. The word is out that employees who enjoy their jobs work more effectively and are more productive, and companies are reexamining a long-held assumption that has formed the core of the American work ethic. That assumption is that work and play don\u2019t mix.\nWhy Companies are Putting Fun to Work\nThe most striking feature of most corporations today is change. The pace of change is faster than ever before and continues to increase. Companies recognize that if they want to survive\u0097even thrive\u0097in the global market place, they have no choice but to be able to adapt quickly. They also know that employees tend to resist change. I often hear employees saying, \"It takes us a full year to really get to the point where we\u2019ve mastered the new technology. And then, what do they do? They change it! They say, \u2018We\u2019ve found something that will be much more efficient and help you do your job better.\u2019\"\n\u201cA company that has fun, where employees . . . put cartoons on the wall and celebrate, is spirited, creative, and usually profitable.\u201d (David Baum)\nMost companies have become leaner in recent years, but are still trying to increase productivity, creating the need to \"do more with less.\" There are also constant pressures to do things faster, to assimilate more information, and to learn new skills and adopt new responsibilities. All of these changes in the past decade have triggered more job stress than ever before. And it is precisely because of the growing conviction that stress levels are getting unmanageable that employers are now trying unorthodox approaches (that they would never have considered a decade or so ago) to help employees deal with their stress. Companies want stress management techniques which help their employees deal with job stress, but which make work more enjoyable and boost productivity at the same time!\nLearning to lighten up on the job\u0097to take yourself lightly while continuing to take your work seriously\u0097achieves all three of these goals. Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have for coping with any source of stress in your life. When you\u2019re able to find a light side of deadlines, conflicts and other aspects of your job\u0097especially on the tough days\u0097you have a tool for letting go of the frustrations and upsets of the moment. This enables you to sustain a frame of mind conducive to dealing more effectively with the problem of the moment. Bringing your sense of humor to your job (when appropriate) also goes a long way in helping make your work fun. Reduced job stress, greater enjoyment of your work, and sustaining a frame of mind conducive to effective working all make a significant contribution to the goal of increased productivity and quality service.\nThe productivity benefits of humor are evident in the following letter, which was sent to me by a corporate manager following my program for the company.\n\"Working with people on a daily basis can be so rewarding when there is laughter in the environment. In many crises I experience on the job--work stoppages, natural disasters, and emergencies\u0097laughter helps ease tensions, and the focus on getting the tasks done becomes more enjoyable and less stressful. I\u2019ve heard other managers and their employees comment on my employees\u2019 attitudes. I often hear, \u2018How do they make their sales and service objectives? That group laughs from the time they come in until the time they leave.\u2019 But the laughter is infectious, and the employees and myself enjoy coming to work with each other every day.\"\nThe idea that work should be fun is not new. John Naisbitt noted long ago, in his book Reinventing the Corporation, that\n\"Many business people have mourned the death of the work ethic in America. But few of us have applauded the logic of the new value taking its place: \u2018Work should be Fun.\u2019 That outrageous assertion is the value that fuels the most productive people and companies in this country.\"\nI have often had companies for whom I\u2019m doing a humor program tell me that in filling many of their positions, they specifically look for some evidence that a potential new employee (especially for management positions) has a sense of humor. They know that this is a skill that will serve both the employee and the company well, because people with good humor skills are more likely to take the initiative to do whatever it takes to be responsible for making their work enjoyable\u0097perhaps, even fun\u0097and that doing so will help make them and their co-workers more productive.\nThe Importance of Making Work Fun\nThe growing trend toward making work fun is evident in an editorial written by John Brandt in Industry Week magazine April 1, 1996. He expressed regret that in his own on-the-job training (by the Corporate Management Development School), he was advised to avoid humor and fun on the job. Years of work experience, however, had shown him just how wrong this advice had been. He used his April 1st editorial to invite all employees to use April Fools' Day as a starting point to begin making work fun.\nWhen people start to have more fun on their jobs, they become energized and more productive. And yet, many organizations are afraid to try putting humor and fun to work, because they fear that employees will take it as a message that it\u2019s OK to goof off. The New York Times reported as far back as 1989 that the intentional waste of time on the job costs American companies $170 billion a year.1 That figure is sure to be higher today. I know of no company, however, that has found that introducing a lighter attitude on the job led to goofing off by employees. In fact, the opposite is generally reported. Making work fun helps employees sustain peak performance and consistently provide quality, because it provides an outlet for tension and stress and makes work more enjoyable. Employees learn that they can lighten up on the job, and continue to be competent and professional. The key is taking your work seriously, while taking yourself lightly in doing that work.\nMany companies around the country have in recent years changed their views about the value of humor in the workplace. This shift has also occurred for the broader notion that work should be fun. It wasn\u2019t very long ago that virtually every company in the country drew a sharp distinction between the notion of work and play. If you had fun, or were found joking, laughing, or showing a \"playful attitude\" on the job, it was assumed that you were goofing off, unprofessional, immature, and not taking your work seriously. Over the past two decades, however, as the pace of change in the way business is done has escalated around the world, companies have thrown out many of their old assumptions about how businesses should be run.\n\"Some days you're the windshield, and some days you're the bug.\"\nIn the past two decades or so, a steadily increasing number of CEOs have become convinced that fun boosts the bottom line, and should take its proper place in corporate culture. According to Joel Slutzky, CEO of Odetics, Inc., a company that makes spacecraft flight recorders and robots, \"every company should strive for this fun, loose environment. You can\u2019t get too uptight.\" Slutzky is constantly on the lookout for ways to generate new forms of fun. He says that \"intermixing fun in the environment has a very positive effect, because it causes a degree of interaction that you wouldn\u2019t normally get.\"\nMany companies now include fun among their core values, including AES Corporation, in Arlington, Virginia. At a conference on business ethics, AES CEO and President Dennis Bakke stated that \"We regard our people as creative, thinking, capable, trustworthy, responsible, unique, and, yes, fallible. Building an organization that takes these assumptions seriously is extremely difficult and often leads to unorthodox and controversial approaches.\"2 He provides a fun working environment to bring out these positive qualities in his employees, even though efforts occasionally backfire.\nBill Dahlberg, CEO of Southern Company, an electric power company in Georgia, leaves no doubt in employees\u2019 minds about his commitment to the value of fun and humor. He works out of an office stocked with toys, which serve as a reminder to him and others to find ways to lighten up and make work fun.3\nAt the end of a job interview, the HR person asked the young MBA fresh out of MIT, \"And what starting salary were you looking for?\"\nThe candidate said, \"In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.\"\nThe HR person said, \"Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years\u0097say a red Corvette?\"\nThe MBA sat up straight and said, \"Wow!! Are you kidding?\"\n\"Certainly,\" said the HR person, \"but you started it.\"\nSome companies have taken extreme positions on the importance of fun on the job. According to the CEO of Rosenbluth International, Hal Rosenbluth, it is \"almost inhumane if companies create a climate where people can\u2019t naturally have fun . . . Our role and responsibility as leaders and associates is to create a place where people can enjoy themselves. I know our company is doing well when I walk around and hear people laughing.\"4\nThis stands in sharp contrast to the memo sent around to employees of one division of a major corporation after the president of the division heard laughter coming from a couple of offices as he walked down the hall. The memo said:\n\"Henceforth, there will be no laughter of smiling allowed in this building during working hours. Laughing distracts fellow employees. And if you're smiling, you're not thinking about your work.\nHopefully, you've never seen a memo like this. It serves as a reminder, however, that you must always be sensitive to when any form of humor or laughter is and is not appropriate. Most managers are now aware of the distinction between taking your work and yourself seriously. As stress levels on the job continue to mount, it's good to keep in mind that \"They who laugh, last.\"\nDick Kussman, Vice President of one of AT&T\u2019s most successful sales departments, encouraged his staff (mainly telephone sales and service people) to find ways to make work fun. He has held team chili cook-offs and monthly unusual dress-up days, and sent fun video-tape messages to employees spread across the country. Kussman says, \"I have yet to find anything worth accomplishing that you just can\u2019t have a good time doing.\"5\nRoyce Haines, president of Royce Medical, a company that makes orthopedic products, installed foosball and ping-pong tables for employees to use during breaks, and often holds trivia and team-sales contests to keep the spirit of fun alive. He finds that \"the better managers are at providing this kind of [fun-oriented] leadership, the better results they get.\"6\n\"This is what it's all about. If you can't have fun at it, there's no sense hanging around.\" Joe Montana\nSome companies also establish a fun work environment as a means of recruiting and retaining employees. This is especially difficult in the ultra competitive Silicon Valley. Remedy Corporation, a California company which produces computer products, has been extremely successful on both counts by maintaining a fun environment in which employees can enjoy their work. For example, it had managers wash the cars of all company employees to show appreciation for their efforts. Employees are hesitant to accept new jobs because they feel they simply wouldn\u2019t enjoy a job elsewhere as much.7\nIt is no surprise, then, that in Fortune magazine\u2019s list of \"The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America,\" many of the top companies place a major emphasis on finding ways to help employees make work fun.8 These selections are made on the basis of such dimensions as \"trust in management, pride in work/company, and camaraderie.\" The #1 company on the list has often been Southwest Airlines, the most successful (financially) airline in the country\u0097and also the organization that is best known for it\u2019s commitment to making work fun.\nThomas Edison knew the value of making work fun. Toward the end of his life, he said, \"I never did a day\u2019s work in my life\u0097it was all fun.\" While you may not be as creative and productive as Edison (he held over 1,000 patents), doing things to make your work fun will certainly help boost your creativity and effectiveness on the job.\nThe Fear of Making Work Fun\nIn my humor programs, I generally ask the audience at some point to tell me the opposite of a string of words that I give them. I\u2019ll say \"heavy,\" \"tall,\" etc., and then say \"work.\" The answers that come up from all over the room, of course, are \"light,\" \"short,\" and finally, \"play!\"\nThe reason for this little exercise, of course, is to point out the starting assumption that most of us have when it comes to the relationship between work and play. We assume that if you let a playful attitude or a bit of fun come up on the job, you can\u2019t be working! Work and play are considered incompatible with each other. That\u2019s why employees who know the value of making work fun generally do it on the sly. They know what fellow employees\u0097especially their boss\u0097will think if they see a lighthearted gesture or hear laughter coming out of their office.\nThe underlying assumption that humor, laughter or a playful attitude on the job will be viewed negatively is very pervasive in most corporations. When I talk to employees (both management and non-management) in private about this, they almost always say that they have to be careful about letting their sense of humor show on the job. They fear that people will feel they\u2019re being unprofessional, and that they\u2019re incompetent, not taking their job seriously, etc.\nThe negative stereotypic views we have (at least in the work place) of people in whom humor, laughter or a lighter style of interacting is a prominent part of their personality are the reasons why my advice is to always establish your competence on the job first, before letting your sense of humor show up. This is true for everyone in virtually all kinds of jobs, but is especially true if you\u2019re new on the job, younger and\u0097in many cases\u0097a woman. If people have no prior experience with you, their judgments about your skills and work habits will mainly reflect their stereotypic perceptions of people who play all the time and don\u2019t work.\nOnce you\u2019ve established that you\u2019re good at what you do, and that you\u2019re professional and take your work seriously, you\u2019ll find that humor and a lighter style will work for you, not against you. The number one rule, of course, is to always be sensitive to when any kind of humor or laughter is and is not appropriate.\nWe\u2019re so conditioned to be serious and stifle any sign of fun and humor on the job that employees often find it difficult to let go and have fun even when specifically invited to do so. I always take a few minutes in my humor programs to play a game that gets people up to do something physically playful\u0097even silly. When the program is at a hotel (e.g., at a convention), most people in the room are able to let go and enter the spirit of fun. But when it\u2019s in the building they work in, the percentage of people comfortable with letting the playful side of themselves out is always much smaller. People become nervous and self-conscious, apparently concerned about their image and lack of professionalism.\nThis is the obstacle I\u2019m helping companies overcome. As information about the health, coping, and productivity benefits resulting from humor continues to reach companies, top management will gradually become more comfortable in adding elements of fun in the work place.\nWhat Makes a Job Fun?\nIf you're lucky, your company has already become convinced of the value of making work fun and is now doing things to build elements of fun into the job for all employees. Chances are, however, that your company has not been promoting a Yuck-a-Day on the job, so you'll have to take responsibility for building fun into the job yourself.\nThe Most obvious way to make your job fun, of course, is to learn to find some humor in the things that go on in your office every day. But recent research on how employees view fun on the job shows that there are many things in addition to having a laugh on the job that can make your work fun.\nHalf the people you work with are below average.\nTiffany McDowell found a difference between in what blue- and white-collar workers\u0097as well as men and women\u0097considered fun on the job.9 White-collar men said that fun came up in connection with their working relationships with others, while white-collar women found their job fun when they were doing something they were good at, or doing creative work. Blue-collar men also saw their job as fun when they enjoyed the job itself, and when they were able to use their own initiative to get things done. Blue-collar women saw the job as fun when they felt they were really accomplishing something with their work.\nEveryone surveyed in this study agreed with the statement that their work needed to be more fun, but widespread individual differences were found in what they considered fun. This suggests that a \"fun committee\" should be formed to find effective ways to add fun to work. The committee should consist of representatives from a wide range of departments, and committee membership should rotate.\nDavid Abramis surveyed 930 employees from a range of work settings and interviewed 341 of them.10 He found that employees were aware of when managers were making efforts to make work fun, and these efforts were generally successful. Those who believed that their company made specific efforts to make work fun did experience more fun on the job. He also found that \"people who believe that fun has positive effects in their lives are more likely to try to make their jobs fun.\" And individuals who made conscious efforts to make their own work fun did have more fun on the job, regardless of the efforts made by their company.\n\"Fun people\" were viewed by their colleagues as being intelligent, energetic, hardworking, outgoing, friendly, competent, not always serious, and able to laugh at themselves.\" It is precisely because of these qualities that so many companies now seek employees with a good sense of humor. Abramis noted that your own attitude toward your work and a determination to find ways to make it fun are crucial to enjoying your job.\n1. New York Times, May 14, 1989. Business section, p. 2.\n2.

        "raw_content": "In order to create a legally binding agreement, there must be offer and acceptance, contractual intention and consideration. The provisions of the contract must be certain. Otherwise, the innocent party will not be able to enforce a contract upon a breach of any of the terms and claim damages.\nIf any of the provisions in the contract are uncertain, then the agreement is not binding and cannot be enforced as contract. The court refers to such an agreement as a \u2018Letter of Intent\u2019.\nHowever, sometimes a letter of intent is prepared intentionally to reflect the intentions of the parties should certain conditions to a transaction be satisfied. These situations may include pre-contractual negotiations in respect of quantity /quality of goods, services, pricing and time deadlines for delivery. The letter will normally state that it is a non-binding agreement until specific conditions are fulfilled.\nBenefits of a Letter of Intent:\nThe document states the intentions of the parties and makes their position clear as to future obligations. It can also provide protection in case a transaction fails during negotiation process\nIt shows clearly what has been agreed and what requires further negotiations so that there is no misunderstanding as to what is undecided\nThe letter will give good guidance as to when the transaction should be finalised and the time deadlines for any particular terms to be fulfilled especially where the agreement is spread over a long period of time\nIn the event of dispute, a letter of intent can clarify the position of the parties and show that there was an intention to enter into a legally binding agreement\nDrawbacks of a Letter of Intent\nBoth parties may treat a letter of intent differently. One party may commit himself to fulfil the terms of the letter with intentions to finalising the contract, whilst the other party may simply treat this as merely a pre-negotiation document.\nOnce the work is undertaken by both parties, their intention as to completing the contract may change. They may no longer want to be legally binding by any formal agreements, which may cause problem in the future if any of the terms is broken.\nLetters of intent can also put a limitation on negotiations with other professionals which can create further issues\nIt is still unclear why parties want to create such legally worthless document, if their intention is to form a legally binding contract. Sometimes it is due to the fact that the parties believe the agreement to be valid, only to discover, after costly litigation, that it was just an unenforceable and not legally binding letter of intent.\nIn essence, the letter of intent was traditionally regarded as a document with a very little legal meaning. However, the courts nowadays distinguish certain circumstances where parties are recognised to have the rights and obligations which makes the letter of intent legally binding. The court will look at:\nThe facts of the case, wording and the circumstances at the times the letter was drafted\nWhether the terms in a letter of intent were certain\nWhether the letter was \u2018subject to contract\u2019. This term would normally indicate that the letter is not legally binding. However, if the parties undertake work in accordance with the terms of the letter of intent, the court may decide that they formed an implied contract by conduct which of course, will be binding\nThe duration of the letter of intent. If the letter states the expiry date, it is presumed that the parties enter into a contact automatically.\nEach case need to be decided on its own merits\nAlthough a letter of intent can be extremely helpful in commercial transactions and negotiations, it should not be considered as a substitution for a legally binding contract. It is crucial that the letter of intent is carefully drafted stating legal foundations such as terms and intentions of the parties clearly. Ideally, the letter of intent should be prepared by a professional who will ensure that all necessary requirements are met.\nPosted in Law ArticlesTagged Letter of intent",

        "raw_content": "M/s. Vatan Textile Limited Through its Directors Shafique Ahmed Khan v/s The Union of India & Others\nWrit Petition Nos. 5885 of 2015 & 1346 of 2016\nFor the Petitioners: R.F. Totala h/f. R.A. Karwa, Advocates. For the Respondents: R2 & R3, D.S. Ladda, Advocate.\n1. The first proceeding is filed to challenge the order made by Custom, Central Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (in short 'C.E.S.T.A.T.'), West Zonal Bench in Application No. E/STAY/98320/14-Mumbai and second proceeding is filed to challenge the order made by the same Tribunal in Application No. E/STAY/1385/09-Mumbai. Both the sides are heard.\n2. Both the proceedings were filed under section 35 (f) of Central Excise Act, 1944 by the petitioner for relief of dispensing with/for relief of waiver of condition of pre-deposit of duty and penalty amount for filing appeal in the Tribunal. In the first proceeding, the liability to pay duty was around Rs.1.0032 Crore and C.E.S.T.A.T. had initially directed to deposit Rs. 25 % of this amount as pre-condition for entertaining the appeal. The appellant deposited the amount of Rs. six lakh out of Rs.25 lakh and then challenged the said order of C.E.S.T.A.T. by filing Writ Petition No. 2622/1996 in this Court. This Court set aside the order of C.E.S.T.A.T. on 26.6.2006 and remanded the matter with direction to consider the plea of 'technical hardship' raised by the present petitioner. After\nremand, the aforesaid amount was reduced by C.E.S.T.A.T. to make it Rs. 12 lakh. As already amount of Rs. six lakh was deposited, the remaining amount was deposited by the petitioner and then the appeal was decided by C.E.S.T.A.T. The matter was remanded back by C.E.S.T.A.T. to Assistant Commissioner, Central Excise. The Assistant Commissioner maintained the previous order by deciding the matter in the year 2013. This order was again challenged before C.E.S.T.A.T. and this time for entertaining this appeal C.E.S.T.A.T. directed the petitioner to deposit Rs. 20 lakh as pre-condition for filing the appeal.\n3. In the second proceeding, the liability of duty was assessed at Rs. 2.73 Crore and penalty of Rs. 1.35 Crore was also imposed for getting redemption of capital goods which were worth of Rs.5.29 Crore. The penalty of Rs.2.73 Crore was imposed in respect of capital goods in this case. C.E.S.T.A.T. ordered petitioner to deposit 50% of the customs duty and 50% of Central Excise Duty. This order was challenged in this Court by filing Writ Petition No. 3700/2011. This petition was also allowed by this Court and the matter was remanded back for considering the ground of technical hardship raised by the present petitioner. C.E.S.T.A.T. has reduced the pre-condition amount to make it Rs. 25% in place of 50%. This order is challenged now in the second proceeding.\n4. It is the case of petitioner from both the proceedings that on 5.11.2014 the petitioner company came to be declared as sick industry under Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985 (in short 'S.I.C.A.') by the Board of Industries and Financial Reconstruction (in short 'B.I.F.R.') and the petitioner is preparing scheme for rehabilitation. It is contention of the petitioner company that this circumstance is not considered by C.E.S.T.A.T. even after directions given by this Court and so, the orders made by C.E.S.T.A.T. which are challenged in the two proceedings are liable to be set aside.\n5. The two proceedings relate to different periods. The industry was set up in the year 1994 and from the submissions and record, it can be said that atleast five orders were made of the assessment of duty and penalty against the petitioner company which are in respect of the period starting from the date of setting up of the company and all these orders are challenged by the petitioner company. In addition to present two petitions, there are three other petitions of the petitioner company like Writ Petition No. 2492/12, 2493/13 and 2532/12. The submissions made and the record show that total liability of the company to the respondents is more than Rs. 20 Crore at present and the liability may be more if the interest amount is considered. The submissions made and the record show that the other Court had made order in one petition to deposit amount of Rs. 21 lakh for getting the interim relief, but this order is not complied with. There was interim relief in the present two proceedings granted by this Court due to which the two proceedings remained pending and the appeals pending before C.E.S.T.A.T. did not make progress. It appears that due to pendency of these proceedings the amount due is also not deposited by the petitioner company. Only when this Court vacated the interim relief as the counsels were changed atleast on two occasions in the present matters, the argument was advanced in both the matters.\n6. In view of the grounds mentioned to challenge the orders made by C.E.S.T.A.T., the relevant portion of the provisions of Central Excise Act, 1944 which needs to be considered is mentioned below:-\n\u201c35-F. Deposit, pending appeal of duty demanded or penalty levied. - Where in any appeal under this Chapter, the decision or order appealed against relates to any duty demanded in respect of goods which are not under the control of central excise authorities or any penalty levied under this Act, the person desirous of appealing against such decision or order shall, pending the appeal, deposit with the adjudicating authority the duty demanded or the penalty levied:\nProvided that where in any particular case, the Commissioner (Appeals) or the Appellate Tribunal is of opinion that the deposit of duty demanded or penalty levied would cause undue hardship to such person, the Commissioner (Appeals) or, as the case may be, the Appellate Tribunal, may dispense with such deposit subject to such conditions as he or it may deem fit to impose so as to safeguard the interests of revenue:\u201d\n7. The aforesaid provision of Central Excise Act shows that discretionary power is given to C.E.S.T.A.T., the appellate forum and the appellate forum can dispense with the pre-condition of depositing the amount of duty, penalty etc. if such condition would cause 'undue hardship' to the appellant (emphasis added).\n8. When the matter involves use of discretion by Court/Tribunal, in ordinary course, the appellate Court or this Court in a proceeding like present one is not expected to interfere with such order. This Court can only ascertain as to whether for refusal to use discretion, there were some circumstances including the conduct of the party and whether case of undue hardship is made out by the appellant.\n9. In the first order which was made by the Tribunal in the year 2006 in the first proceeding the Tribunal had mentioned a circumstance like increase in sales from the year 2002 to 2004, though losses were shown by the petitioner company. It was held that due to this circumstance and other circumstances, the petitioner had failed to make out prima facie case for total waiver. Thus, the ground of financial hardship from other angle was considered by the Tribunal. At that time, the relevant record of the company was also considered by the Tribunal. In the second proceeding, the order made by the Tribunal shows that Tribunal has touched the merits of the grounds of challenge to the assessment also to ascertain as to whether there is some arguable case in the appeal. The learned counsel for petitioner submitted that this approach is not permissible. This Court holds that such submission cannot be accepted. When the Court is expected to use the discretion, the Court is expected to consider to some extent the merits of the grounds also. In the present case, that was more necessary due to peculiar facts of the present matter.\n10. The submissions made and the record show that the appellant company had imported material for manufacturing of goods in India and for that 100% exemption in duty was taken at the time of importing the material. The reasoning given by the assessing authority and the order of the Tribunal also show that all the documents are considered by the department and the learned counsel for the petitioner company was asked to explain the things before the Tribunal also. There was no record to show that the goods which were cleared in domestic market were manufactured from indigenous domestic material alone. Further, there was no D.T.A. permission and goods were cleared in domestic market in the names of various fictitious units. Three units found on the record were being managed by the same family. These manufacturing units were not having manufacturing facilities of their own and they had tried to show that goods were manufactured by outsourcing. This claim was found to be false and it was noticed that the units of the petitioner were used for manufacturing of the goods of these fictitious units and then the goods were cleared in domestic market. There was no satisfactory account of utilization of imported material of the petitioner company. Thus, the goods manufactured by the petitioner company were sold by using the names of some fictitious units. Thus, the peculiar modus operandi was used for evasion of duty. The assessing authority has imposed penalty not only on the petitioner company, but also on the other units which were shown to be managed by the same family. Thus, the activity involved fraud, criminal wrong and it was not only irregularity or mistake. Such circumstances, conduct of the party cannot be ignored by the Court or Tribunal while using discretionary power. Thus, apparently false record was prepared for evasion of duty. In spite of these circumstances, the concession is given by the Tribunal in condition of pre-deposit and the order shows that the order was made after 'keeping in view the financial condition and also the admitted liability'. Thus, other things like admitted liability in respect of duty are also considered by the Tribunal and financial condition is also considered.\n11. The aforesaid circumstances show that false record was created, there was criminal wrong committed to avoid the liability to pay the duty to respondents. Even when sales had increased, by creating false record of aforesaid nature, the liability was avoided and money was diverted to other fictitious units. In view of these circumstances, the contention of the petitioner company that it was declared as sick unit cannot be considered. The discretionary power cannot be used in favour of such company, persons.\n12. From the aforesaid circumstances, it can also be said that due to the orders made by this Court of allowing the petitions, the Tribunal gave more concession and the pre-condition amount was reduced. Unfortunately, such orders are made by the Tribunals and the Courts after the order of remand of the matter made by this Court. By filing proceedings in this Court and by filing applications for waiver of the pre-condition, the petitioner has apparently misused the process of law and petitioner has successfully avoided the payment of huge amount of duty, penalty and interest for more than 10 years.\n13. The learned counsel for petitioner placed reliance on some observations made in the cases reported as MANU/MH/0206/2004 [Universal Ferro and Allied Chemicals Ltd. Vs. Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal and Ors.] decided by this Court and MANU/MH/0135/2005 [Polymermann (ASIA) P. Ltd. Vs. The Union of India (UOI) and Ors.]. The facts and circumstances of each and every case are always different. When it is a matter of use of discretion by the Court, the facts and circumstances of each case need to be considered separately. There is no dispute over the proposition made in the aforesaid two cases, but the present matter has peculiar circumstances, which cannot be ignored. At the cost of repetition, this Court wants to observe that even when appellant company does not deserve, concession to much extent is given to the appellant company by C.E.S.T.A.T. This Court holds that no interference is possible in the orders made by C.E.S.T.A.T. which are under challenge. In the result, both the proceedings stand dismissed.",

        "raw_content": "Health, Mind, and Behavior is the twenty-third program in the DISCOVERING PSYCHOLOGY series. This program examines the relationship between mind and body, and some of the ways psychological factors affect our physical health and immune system. It also explores some of the sources and consequences of stress.\nEssay: Holistic Medicine and the Biopsychosocial Approach\nPsychogenic illnesses occur when organic malfunctioning and tissue damage are directly caused by a patient's anxiety or depression. A stress-related migraine headache is one example of a psychogenic illness. Painkillers are often used to treat migraine headaches, but some researchers believe that psychogenic ailments like migraines \u0097 with no complete organic explanation \u0097 cannot be effectively cured unless the underlying source(s) of depression or tension are also addressed.\nPsychological factors can also affect physical and brain function, and can weaken the immune system's ability to fight disease and ward off infection. Unhealthy behaviors like smoking and alcoholism are examples of learned psychological behaviors and addictions that have severe physical consequences.\nThe combination of these mental and physical health risks results in potentially serious health problems that cannot be treated effectively without examining their psychological causes. That examination is the essence of holistic (also termed biopsychosocial) approaches. Holistic medicine examines the relationship between mind and body, and acknowledges the behavioral and social factors that make us sick. By studying these relationships, health psychologists hope to find more ways to prevent illness and improve our health and well-being.",

Someone has suggested that Fox may eventually give Tamara her own show. Of course this is pure speculation by some guy I randomly met at a bar.\nWho is Gretchen Carlson?\nGretchen Carlson was previously the co-anchor, with Russ Mitchell, of the Saturday Early Show on CBS. She joined CBS News as a correspondent in 2000, and began working on the Early Show in 2002. Before her tenure at CBS, Gretchen Carlson served as a weekend anchor and reporter for KXAS-TV in Dallas, Texas, was an anchor and reporter at WOIO-TV in Cleveland, Ohio, and for WCPO-TV in Cincinnati. She began her television career in Richmond, Virginia as a political reporter for WRIC-TV. Caps courtesy of hidefnewscaps\nLabels: Fox News, Gretchen Carlson, Tamara Holder\nSometimes the F&F producers just don't get it? Tamara Holder should have been seated on the end of the couch opposite of Gretchen to maximize her leg shot. Can't complain though, Tam & Gretch have some of THE most gorgeous gams you will ever see on TV.\nFox & Friends...\"The Best Damn Leg Show Period\"!!!\nI was thinking the same thing as I was looking at these caps.

It can be room temperature or cold - doesn't matter. Stir well and don't worry if it settles at the bottom of the glass. Enough of the cinnamon is extracted from the water to give you the benefits. Cinnamon has such a strong flavor that it's probably going to taste best in water, tea or coffee.\nWhen I was writing my page on the relationship between weight loss and cinnamon, I contacted Richard Anderson, Ph.D., a researcher with the USDA Agricultural Research Service who has studied cinnamon and it's beneficial affects on blood sugar for 20 years. I asked him if you actually need to eat the cinnamon. He said it wasn't necessary, that all you need to do is drink the water (or tea)that it's been stirred into. The water has extracted enough of the cinnamon to be effective.\nAs you know if you read my article about cinnamon, it helps to reduce the symptoms of diabetes by helping to control blood sugar. It increases insulin sensitivity, reduces LDL cholesterol and helps to lower blood pressure.\nIt's best to drink it in a beverage before a meal twice a day. It will help to reduce the blood sugar affects of the meal and manage your fat metabolism. You do not have to boil any water, just add cinnamon and stir.",

        "raw_content": "Homepage / About diabetes / Smoking and diabetes\nSmoking is an extremely addictive habit that increases the risk of developing many serious, and often fatal health problems, including cancer and heart disease. People who have never smoked should not start, and people who do smoke should make every effort to stop.\nSmoking is particularly hazardous to people with diabetes. Diabetes increases the risk of damage to large blood vessels, leading to a higher rate of heart attacks, strokes and poor circulation to the feet. This higher risk is related to the long-term effect of raised blood glucose levels, or other factors which are often associated with diabetes such as high blood pressure, being overweight or high levels of cholesterol or triglycerides (a type of fat) in the bloodstream. Smoking makes damage to blood vessels much more likely to occur. Treatment of all these risk factors substantially reduces the risk of developing blood vessel damage.\nPeople with diabetes who continue to smoke are more likely to die early than those who have never smoked, or those who give up the habit, and the risk is greatest for the heaviest smokers. Smoking also aggravates insulin resistance (problems with the body\u2019s response to insulin) in people with diabetes, and can make it more difficult to control blood glucose levels.\nIn the short-term, stopping smoking improves blood pressure, circulation, and breathing and chest complaints. Over longer periods, staying smoke-free cuts the risk of developing serious health problems like heart disease. The longer the period since stopping smoking, the more the risk falls.\nPeople with diabetes have a higher risk of developing arterial disease than people without diabetes.\nOver time, diabetes can result in a number of complications which occur because of the effects of raised glucose levels on blood vessels.",

        "raw_content": "Firstly, in the already problematic world of fast food, the idea of free re-fills is one I would happily consign to the list of forgotten memories. It is my viewpoint that they are an incredibly irresponsible part of American consumption, encouraging people of all ages to double - perhaps triple - the already unhealthy amount of pop that is infesting their throats and stomachs.\nCome to that, large food portions in general are something I would happily leave behind. Until I moved to this country, I never believed I could eat in greater quantities than I did in the UK. But the admittedly sizable portions of my home country were nothing compared to those on offer at Applebee's or Red Lobster, where you are expected to order salad, in addition to extra bread, a main course, a potential appetizer and a dessert.\nI won't miss the needlessly fast pace of life, in which people have to buy the new iPhone this very second, or in which micromanaged deadlines must always be adhered to with the utmost urgency. We are not a nation of robots and sometimes it is well to remember there are stars in the night sky or birds in the trees that require your gaze once in a while.\nBut on the topic of deadlines, and more specifically jobs, I won't miss living in a so-called \"right-to-work state\" - in other words, a state where your employer can fire you at will, with no explanation whatsoever. I strongly believe that workers' rights should be exactly that; rights. No person in a country as economically prosperous as the United States should have to worry where his or her next cheque is coming from.\nI won't miss the intolerant minority, who vehemently oppose same-sex marriage, women's rights and the idea of an Indian-American woman winning Miss America. While these types certainly exist in, well, any country on the planet, the American version is so vocal.\nI won't miss Miss America.\nI won't miss ridiculously big pickup trucks and the sight of beaten up cars that still somehow take to the road. Nor will I miss the roads, many of them filled with potholes, mangled tyres and dead raccoon.\nI'm going to get killed for this one, but - and I'm sorry - I won't miss contemporary Country music. It seems as if every male singer from this genre bears the same exact voice - the voice of a singer twice his own age, whose lyrics involve said man getting into a fight in some bar to impress some chick whose daddy just died in a truck accident along Route 66.\nI won't miss Route 66, because it technically no longer exists.\nI won't miss this nation's advertising culture, with corporate billboards along every stretch of road and televised ads appearing every 7 minutes. I won't miss that 25% of these ads are for a different healthcare facility, each one claiming to be the best.\nI won't miss money talk. Whatever the occasion, Americans will find a way to talk about money: do you have enough? Why aren't you working a second job? We really need to talk about your student loans. I refer you once more to the stars and the birds.\nDid I mention I love living in the United States?\nIf you like what you see here on Lost In The Pond, follow us and talk about all the UK/US differences | Twitter | Facebook | Google+ | RSS | Pinterest | Instagram\nOK the money one was dead on, only culture I know where it is polite to first and foremost ask someone what they do for a living followed by how much do they make, OR when one hears about a new person for the first time their name is generally followed by a laundry list of their, impressive, possessions. I've always found that just a little inappropriate.\nDo you know, in the 23 years I've lived here I've never heard anyone ask another person how much they make.\nActually, as an American, I find it VERY rude to talk about money, so I've never heard it discussed ... in Spain, it's way different, so your experience seems odd to me.\nOK, on the note of listing money and possessions I have to mention \"It's my sister Violet, the one that married the turf accountant, swimming pool, room for a pony\". :) And for those that might not know, that's from \"Keeping Up Appearances\", my most favorite show from across the pond.\nI agree with all of these points, and would add The Politics and intolerance therein.\nFrom Laura: I think that, unless you are a business tycoon, most people (in the US) ask what you do for a living to see if you have any common ground...something to talk about. Or, they might ask, hoping that maybe you are a plumber, and you can give them a great deal on repairing their leaky faucet...haha Maybe the younger generation is different, but I was raised NOT to EVER ask someone how much they make! That is none of my business (pun intended).\nAs an American, and a fellow Hoosier for the record, I can agree with a great many of these observations. Being raised in a state in which country music is, at least in the Anderson/Muncie area (in which I live), seen as a sort of sacred form of expression, I have had more than my fair share of people get downright enraged that I don't share their love of the latest country music star.\nOh, and to the most recent comment above me, all I could think when you mentioned plumbers is a line from Eddie Izzard (the greatest comedian of all time, in my opinion). When imagining the likes of Prince Charles speaking to a working man, \"You're a plumber? What on Earth is that?\"\nI'm with Simon Cowell. I don't understand country music.\nJoe Cool said...\nThe American fast pace culture is changing for the young and really evaporates after the age of 30 because it starts to conflict with quality of life.\n\"All America is an insane asylum.\" -- Ezra Pound\nI don't really think that there is a \"vocal minority\" that is anti-gay marriage, anti-women's rights and anti-Indian American. The only groups that fit that bill would be despised hate groups such as the KKK, neo-Nazi or skinhead groups.

        "raw_content": "2018 turned out to be a year of very only occasional blogging! You know when you are so busy, you don't even have time to tell people about how busy you are? That's what 2018 was. My library is undergoing renovations and I'm currently working in an outreach librarian role, which is something I'd never pictured for myself. It's interesting and challenging! I can't wait until my library is ready to re-open though, as I'm drawing lots of inspiration for new programs to try, new displays to assemble and more in-depth collection development work.\nSo! New Years Resolutions - how did I do?\nLast year I said:\nOkay, then! I did give up social media for about 6 months. It was tough at times, but also very freeing. Then, I kind of dipped my toe back in... and now I feel like I'm right back where I was at the end of last year! Scrolling, hitting refresh, scrolling more, wasting time. Well, time to cut back again, I guess.\nI read more than 50 books this past year. I've set some high goal numbers in the past and failed to get there. Sometimes, just for fun, I've set the bar quite low (one year, I think I even set my number to a mere 12 books!) This year, I think I'm going to try for 100 books. Challenging, but hopefully doable. I've spent a lot of time reading to keep up with my various book clubs. And often, selecting a book club pick means NOT picking a new title, as those have tons of holds on them anyway. So, there's a certain art to working with what you have and picking an appealing backlist title that was popular enough that we'll have plenty of copies on hand, but at the same time, not so ubiquitous that everyone has absolutely read it already. At any rate, I realized at year's end, when I was asked to contribute some 2018 titles for Staff Picks lists - I'd only read 3 or 4 books published in the current year. So, in 2019, I'm going to make more of an effort to read current titles and to use NetGalley more for pre-pub e-ARCS. I want to trim my TBR list down to 100 items.\nMy final resolution from last year: walk 3 miles a day. Ouch. Even walking a lot in my job, even going for a walk during lunch, even (some days) walking to work, this was actually a lot tougher to achieve than I thought. If I had to guess, I'd say I only managed to walk 3 miles a day about a third of the time. Still a lot better than nothing! But, it wasn't easily in the bag as I originally imagined. I did lose 10 pounds and keep it off, so that is something!\nI have a new resolution in 2019. Bake more. I'll try to bake something once a week, and I've already started with my birthday cake, an orange and vanilla cake recipe that I somewhat improvised.\nOkay, to sum up, Goals for 2018 include:\nRead more 2019 titles\nTrim my To-Be-Read list down to 100 items\nBake something at least once a week\nPosted by Madigan Mirza at 5:57 PM No comments:\nTrimming the TBR\nGenerally, I do this about twice a year. And I'm fairly overdue. I was inspired by an article on Book Riot on keeping your TBR to 100 books. I'm not nearly down to 100 yet, but we'll get there. In the interest of cutting down my TBR to a reasonable size, here's what I'm cutting out.\nDoors of Stone\nPosted by Madigan Mirza at 10:33 AM No comments:",

        "raw_content": "I put off reading this book for so long because I was a little bit afraid that it couldn't possibly live up to the hype. But it does! It really does! This is a completely swoonworthy book. I knew the main character, Anna, a senior in high school is from Atlanta, and I had imagined that more of the book would take place in the South. That's not the case - her parents ship her off right away to a boarding school in Paris. I was prepared to immediately hate Anna for being a whiny brat about having such an awesome opportunity. That was the problem that I saw with Falling in Love with English Boys, by Melissa Jensen about a girl who has to spend a summer in London. Gee, wouldn't you love to have these girls \"problems?\" Happily, Anna did not seem too bratty to me. Her father is basically clueless - a less functional version of the real-life Nicholas Sparks, the famous author of badly-written, bestselling melodramatic romances.\nWhen Anna gets to Paris, she's not on vacation - so she doesn't spend a lot of time jetting around, seeing the sights. Mostly, she's trying to get settled in her new dorm, meet friends, and figure out enough French to handle the basics, like ordering food in the cafeteria. She meets Etienne St. Clair, a total dreamboat, but of course, he has a girlfriend, and half the school is crushing on him anyway, so she knows she doesn't stand a chance. They do end up becoming good friends though, and spend the year getting to know each other, developing various in-jokes and so on. I was about \u00be of the way through the book, and Anna hasn't even kissed anyone yet. I was beginning to get worried - maybe the titular kiss would be on the last page? Fortunately, St. Clair soon realizes that his relationship with his former girlfriend just isn't working out, and Anna 'fesses up and admits her sort-of boyfriend back home isn't in the picture either. After they become a couple, Anna helps St. Clair confront his father who has been cruelly keeping him away from his cancer-ridden mother. It sounds more melodramatic than it plays out, and while I don't think high school romances often work out, I could totally picture Anna and St. Clair moving to Berkeley together, getting married and living happily ever after. I hate to say that this is a \"When Harry Met Sally\" story, since I think that reference will be lost on a lot of younger people, but it is a really good comparison. They're really sweet together, completely right for each other and have a really solid foundation because they were platonic friends for so long before the rest of their relationship developed.",

        "raw_content": "11/02/2019 Network\nColleges and universities have always been about allowing levels better understanding how to their areas. As transport means developed, those areas were extended and students could go away to university. The information age blast was birthed when the laptop or computer got internet connection. Universities are clamoring for students and their college tuition cash at one time when the cost better education is increasing. To get business and contain costs, the number of web-based programs and stage programs is growing.\nStudents have more options available to them today than at any other time. If they are inspired to put out the effort and regimented enough to follow through, there is no limit to the stage to train that is obtainable. Whether you are a latest secondary university graduate student or have been on the job and have not been in a greater education category for several years, there are ways to merge web-based programs with night university, end of the week sessions, and short programs. This is particularlyhelpful for the college student should handle a time-table and family responsibilities with their busy life while they are trying to finish the precious time.\nNot everyone who wants to go back university is seeking a stage. There is an amazing range of programs available for those who already have a stage but need certificates since they shifted from out of state. This is often the case with school teachers, or agents, and many others whose employment requires local qualifications. The possibilities of online studying and things fall apart study guide is attractive, but not appropriate for everyone.\nSince all students, young and older, have individual studying strong points and styles, no one method is perfect for all students. For some, the class room atmosphere provides best chance to learn, while others do just fine with separate research and the opportunity of online studying where the atmosphere is an exclusive digital idea utilizing e-mails, forums and online examinations.\nPersonal responsibility and self-discipline are a must when a college student is accountable for their own chance to learn. This is usually easier for the old college student coming back to university with a specific life changing objective in mind, rather than the average latest secondary university graduate student who is going to university on their mom\u2019s or dad\u2019s cash and still have not decided on a stage strategy. The disruptions available online or on university can really be damaging to one\u2019s improvement.\nPowered by WordPress | Theme Designed by: http://www.scutece.info | Thanks to http://www.teethwhiteningie.com, www.ir4kaart.com and http://www.motocyclefairingsus.com",

God says, \u201cI will never leave you,\u201d so that then I \u201cmay boldly say, \u2019The Lord is my helper; I will not fear\u2019 \u201d ( Hebrews 13:5-6 ). In other words, I will not be obsessed with apprehension. This does not mean that I will not be tempted to fear, but I will remember God\u2019s words of assurance. I will be full of courage, like a child who strives to reach the standard his father has set for him. The faith of many people begins to falter when apprehensions enter their thinking, and they forget the meaning of God\u2019s assurance\u2014 they forget to take a deep spiritual breath. The only way to remove the fear from our lives is to listen to God\u2019s assurance to us.\nWhat are you fearing? Whatever it may be, you are not a coward about it\u2014 you are determined to face it, yet you still have a feeling of fear. When it seems that there is nothing and no one to help you, say to yourself, \u201cBut \u2019The Lord is my helper\u2019 this very moment, even in my present circumstance.\u201d Are you learning to listen to God before you speak, or are you saying things and then trying to make God\u2019s Word fit what you have said? Take hold of the Father\u2019s assurance, and then say with strong courage, \u201cI will not fear.\u201d It does not matter what evil or wrong may be in our way, because \u201cHe Himself has said, \u2019I will never leave you . . . .\u2019 \u201c\nHuman frailty is another thing that gets between God\u2019s words of assurance and our own words and thoughts. When we realize how feeble we are in facing difficulties, the difficulties become like giants, we become like grasshoppers, and God seems to be nonexistent. But remember God\u2019s assurance to us\u2014 \u201cI will never. . . forsake you.\u201d Have we learned to sing after hearing God\u2019s keynote? Are we continually filled with enough courage to say, \u201cThe Lord is my helper,\u201d or are we yielding to fear?",

        "raw_content": "An Interview with jesse andrews\nJesse Andrews is an award-winning young adult author, having written the novels Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The Haters. He is currently at work on his third book, Munmun. He wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, which premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and won both the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize. In June 2017, Andrews revealed that he adapted David Levithan\u2019s bestselling novel Every Day for the screen. You can find him on Facebook at @jesseandrewswriter and Twitter at @_jesse_andrews_. His website is jesseandrews.com.\nTMR: Besides writing novels, you've also dabbled in screenwriting, having written the script for Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, and you've been hired to write other screenplays. What draws you to writing a script, as opposed to a new novel?\nJA: When it's going well, by far the most appealing part of writing a script is that it's a means of collaborating with brilliant people who do things (act, design, shoot) that you never could. Writing books is (at least for me) incredibly solitary and recently I've gone a little bit insane doing it.\nIt's definitely true that some stories make more sense in movie form than in book form, but I don't know if I would say that about any of the scripts that I write. My focus in writing anything usually drifts to character and voice and idiosyncrasy and I think those are equally explorable in either form. Screenwriting allows me to do way less work in that department and shift onto an actor the burden of truly actualizing a character.\nTMR: In several interviews, like your talk with comingsoon.net, you mention the books you attempted to write before Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. You've called them \"not publishable.\" What were these books about? What made them \"unpublishable\"?\nEvery time I was blocked, which happened a lot because I wasn't telling any kind of a story, I would have a character hallucinate something elaborate and pointless. Holy shit, is that not a good way to write a book.\nJA: The answer to the first question is, \"basically nothing,\" so that more or less answers your second question too. At that time I was so preoccupied with trying to create an unusual and transgressive style that I didn't even realize that I had no story to tell.\nI haven't looked at those files in so long that I don't even really remember the shape of them anymore. There were just an assload of lengthy hallucinated fantasias, I remember that. Every time I was blocked\u2014which happened a lot because I wasn't telling any kind of a story\u2014I would have a character hallucinate something elaborate and pointless. Holy shit, is that not a good way to write a book.\nTMR: How many projects would you say that you've put a lot of work into, only to end up scrapping them? What makes you give up on a piece of writing?\nJA: I just counted the number of project folders on my computer and there are 31 script folders and 16 book folders, which is more than I thought there would be. I guess I have given up on most of those by now, which is a sad thing that I don't want to fully admit to myself. But a lot of those ideas are things I never got very far with. Here are the entire contents of one (movie) folder. It has one document with six sentences in it.\nTeddy Gunderson used to be a superhero. Then he fucked up in some major way and was disbarred by the superhero U.N.\nNow he is old and mostly retired. So are all of the dudes he used to be superheroes with, and the villains they used to take down. Most of them sit around watching Superhero CNN. It's all about the new young superheroes and supervillains running around acting like no one has ever threatened or saved the world before.\nThe end! I probably gave up on that one because it feels like an SNL sketch, and also I don't really like writing superheroes, because they are not real people and it always feels a bit stupid to try to give them any real-people things to feel or say.\nIn general I would say that I give up on something either because it's not working or because it doesn't interest me anymore. Usually it's the first one.\nTMR: In a Reddit AMA from 2016, when asked about your writing process, you said: \"i write in my office/guest bedroom and usually shut off the internet on my computer. but there is still an enormous amount of goofing around and wasting time in my process. basically i can only write if there's something else i'm supposed to be doing.\" How did you discover that this was the best way for you to be productive?\nJA: This is not the method that I would ever choose. This is just the way my disorders manifest in my work. It's infuriating and maybe I should go on medication or something.\nTMR: What are your thoughts on Donald Trump's decision to defund the National Endowment for the Arts?\nJA: I think Donald Trump is so specifically loathsome that we can lose sight of the fact that every major Republican since Reagan has been foaming at the mouth to cut funding to the arts, along with pretty much everything else that makes our society worth living in. Trump is just the current vile incarnation. The next one will be even worse.\nTMR: In an interview with The Guardian you discussed a feeling of fear you had when Me and Earl and the Dying Girl initially came out\u2014\"a little bit the feeling of a parent sending their kid out in the world and knowing they can't protect the kid if someone wants to punch the kid in the face.\" With your second novel, The Haters\u2014both books having been well-received\u2014does that feeling still stand?\nJA: Oh, of course! Even if a book is well received, it's still going to get punched in the face by some people.\nTMR: In an interview with EW for The Haters, you discussed your past as a musician. You were once the bass player in a touring band. What brought you from that to writing? Why not also pursue music as a career?\nJA: I was writing at the same time as I was playing music, and after a while I just realized that I was better at one than the other. Writing also seemed to me much more forgiving of aging than music. I was worried about the long game even then. I'd like to be in a band again though\u2014some chill local thing where I can just show up and play bass and not worry about whether we're going to make it big.\nTMR: In that interview, you said that the hardest thing about being on the road was \"wanting to be great and amazing and perfect, and not coming remotely close.\" When it comes to books, there's rarely ever any changing them once they're out to print. So when you finish a novel, do you feel that it's as amazing as it can be? What lets you know when you've done your best?\nA novel, a painting, a movie, a song\u2014every work of art is just a process of creation that was frozen at some point.\nJA: This is an excellent question because it makes me incredibly uncomfortable. No, my novels never reach some perfect stopping-point beyond which they cannot be improved. But no one's do. Because that stopping-point is a mirage. A novel, a painting, a movie, a song\u2014every work of art is just a process of creation that was frozen at some point. And maybe it's the artist alone who chooses when to freeze the process, but in my line of work it's more the publisher or the producer\u2014the artist's market-minded overlords. I say this with love because my publisher (Harry Abrams) is tremendously patient with me. I owed them a draft of my third book in March 2016 and I hadn't even started it yet. (I delivered it in January and it will publish in spring 2018.)\nI guess in some universe where the artist has all the control, the time to finish a work is when your changes are no longer clearly improvements, but just lateral changes\u2014shifting the mood, or the tone, or the outlook. Because that's when you're just updating something to reflect changes within yourself. At that point it's time to let the work be and begin to subject that process to some other poor document.\nTMR: Will The Haters end up becoming a film, as possibly evidenced by this tweet?\nJA: I am working on it! And that is about all I can say right now. It might be more of a TV show though.\nTMR: Writing young characters in the \"modern age,\" yet being from a slightly older generation, how would you say you are able to make your characters relatable\u2014not only to people that are your characters' ages, but people of all ages?\nJA: \"Older generation\"? What the hell is that supposed to mean?!\nJust kidding. I am definitely not in the same generation as anyone in their teens or twenties right now. Actually I feel older than other 34-year-olds. I already have an adversarial relationship with all of my technology. A conversation I am having a lot recently is, \"Have Apple products gotten way more annoying to use, or am I just an idiot now?\"\nVis-a-vis relatability, some things are generation-specific\u2014certainly technology fits in there, and class, and politics\u2014and some things are more universal. Desire, resentment, insecurity, dread. What's important is to be honest. Being a teenager is a goddamned nightmare. Even when it's going well, it's awful.\nTMR: In an interview with booksss0k, you said that your next book, your third, is a \"kind of hybrid.\" Can we know a little bit about this book?\nJA: Yes, absolutely. I am in revisions right now and it's terrifying and exhilarating because this book is so strange. The book is a social novel set in an alternate reality, which is basically our own but amplified with a great big world-defining metaphorical device. I don't want to say what that device is yet, but it made the book pretty fun and wild to write.\nThe title is Munmun which is the word for \"money\" in the world of the book. The main character is a teenager who jokes about stuff, so it has that in common with my other books. But it's also an attempt to triangulate a more Dickensy coming-of-age-in-various-social-milieux thing with a George Saundersy kind of funny-sad trippiness and then, most notably, the big honking social-commentary device a la Invisible Man or 1984 or Atwood or Vonnegut.\nPrevious (Share)\nNext (Campbell)",

        "raw_content": "New Hampshire Mesothelioma Lawyer\nMesothelioma Help Center - New Hampshire Mesothelioma Lawyer\nNew Hampshire is home to many historic buildings and trades. These locations have upheld community traditions and stood the test of time. Throughout the early half of the century, asbestos was one of the most common materials used to manufacture goods and create jobs. This practice continued well into the late 80\u2019s despite the dangers presented by the mineral asbestos. The dangers of exposure to asbestos were not widely known among the general New Hampshire workforce or their families.\nBy the time the risks were disclosed, many New Hampshire residents had already spent decades working with asbestos without any protective equipment. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that has been proven to be dangerous when inhaled or ingested, and any amount of exposure could cause a health risk. It has been linked to many forms of cancer including Mesothelioma, Asbestosis and other asbestos related diseases.\nNew Hampshire Workers and Asbestos Exposure\nNew Hampshire ranks 36th in the U.S. for malignant Mesothelioma deaths. From 1920 through the late 1980\u2018s, asbestos was a one of the most popular materials used in construction. Nearly every building constructed during this time incorporated some use of asbestos. Because of the versatility and popularity of asbestos, a high number of people in New Hampshire worked with asbestos. This led to the exposure of many people without their knowledge or consent.\nWhile New Hampshire has no naturally occurring asbestos deposits, the state received thousands of asbestos shipments over the course of 60+ years.\nThese shipments were delivered to New Hampshire construction sites, manufacturing sites, oil refineries, steel mills, steam plants, landfills, petroleum plants, shipyards, industrial centers and many other commercial locations where they were used extensively.\nThe highest frequency of reported Mesothelioma cases are among insulators, shipyard workers, plumbers, electricians, pipe-fitters and auto mechanics because of the many asbestos related products used by each profession. New Hampshire workers were exposed to asbestos while using heat resistant gloves and other protective gear. When these workers returned home at the end of the day, they had many asbestos fibers in their clothes and hair. This caused secondhand exposure to their friends, families and loved ones.\nOther commercial places in New Hampshire where asbestos has been found include: iron foundries, military installations, schools, warehouses, hospitals, chemical plants, manufacturing plants and residential buildings. Asbestos insulation and packing was also frequently used in both hydroelectric and fossil fueled power plants. Many state public water systems have also held trace amounts of asbestos because asbestos was used extensively in pipe insulation. Asbestos was part of cement composition in the years of 1920 through 1970 and was used to manufacture water pipes. New Hampshire has also had many day laborers, contractors and other types of workers that were exposed to asbestos during their daily routines.\nNew Hampshire was also the location of many textile mills. Tons of building materials containing asbestos were left behind in each New Hampshire mill that closed down. Asbestos waste products from mills were dumped into rivers or given to landfills, placing many people who were not associated with these mills at risk of asbestos exposure.\nAsbestos-containing products were used extensively in New Hampshire building and construction trades. Asbestos-containing products included: ventilation systems, floor tiles, air ducts, furnace ducts, door gaskets, cement sheets, millboards, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, paints, boilers, drywall, insulation, heating equipment, air conditioning equipment, roofing materials, electrical wiring, soundproofing materials, fireproof gloves, welding equipment, ovens, artificial embers and ashes, stovetop pads, fireplaces, automobile brake pads, turbines, generators, gaskets, roofing shingles valves and pumps. With asbestos in so much industrial equipment, it is no wonder that so many New Hampshire workers would have been unknowingly exposed to harmful levels of asbestos. Residents who live close to these areas and workers who have used equipment containing asbestos should consider seeking medical attention and receiving a screening for Mesothelioma.\nNew Hampshire Asbestos Exposure and Mesothelioma Claims\nOver the course of the last three decades, there have been over 314 asbestos related deaths in New Hampshire. In Hillsborough County alone, there have been more than 81 reported asbestos related deaths and over 53 fatal cases of Mesothelioma. Many veterans serving at Portsmouth Navy Yard have also been exposed to asbestos while the base was being renovated. Mesothelioma and asbestos related cancers are diagnosed 10-50 years after initial exposure. Symptoms include: chronic cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, fever, anemia, weight loss, bowel obstruction, abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, and swelling of the neck or face. Mesothelioma can also spread to the tissues covering the lungs, heart, abdomen and genitals in men.\nPeople diagnosed with Mesothelioma or other asbestos related diseases are entitled to compensation in the form of: medical expenses, loss of wages, funeral cost, travel expenses while receiving specialty medical treatments and any other expenses not covered by a patient\u2019s insurance. Currently there are two types of Mesothelioma claims.\nNew Hampshire Asbestos Statute of Limitations\nThe Statute of limitations to file a claim in New Hampshire is 3 years from the initial date of a Mesothelioma Diagnosis and 3 years from the unfortunate event of a wrongful death. New Hampshire courts have ruled that certain types of claims must be submitted with substantial evidence, which is required to submit a claim and must reflect any physical impairment suffered by the plaintiff.\nThe state of New Hampshire has had multi-million dollar lawsuits which have ruled in favor of asbestos exposure victims. Some lawsuits even pertain to asbestos exposures that date back as far as the 1920\u2019s. Individuals, who are living near areas that have been known to have levels of asbestos or those who have worked with any of the equipment or in the locations described, should consider frequent screenings to check for any signs of Malignant Mesothelioma or asbestos related diseases. Victims should contact the appropriate legal aid as soon as possible to find out if their case falls under the acceptable statute of limitations for New Hampshire.\nNew Hampshire victims who have been exposed to asbestos and are diagnosed with Mesothelioma or an asbestos related disease are entitled to damages including:\nThose who have been exposed to asbestos and developed asbestos related diseases should contact a New Hampshire Mesothelioma Lawyer to get compensation for their pain and suffering. If you have lost a loved one to asbestos related cancer, you may also be entitled to compensation.\nNew Hampshire Mesothelioma Verdicts and Settlements:\nThere have been many successful claims made in New Hampshire courtrooms that have ruled in favor of the plaintiffs:\nA $4,529,984 Million dollar settlement was awarded to a 57 year old New Hampshire man who was diagnosed with Mesothelioma after asbestos exposure.\n$1.1 Million dollars was awarded to a 71 year old Navy Veteran who served in New Hampshire. He was diagnosed with Mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos during his employment.\n$2,233,974 million dollars was awarded in a settlement to a 46 year old man who was diagnosed with mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos in New Hampshire.\nNew Hampshire Mesothelioma Legal Help\nWe help Mesothelioma patients and their families make educated decisions about how to start with filing asbestos and Mesothelioma claims.

You are entitled to an experienced New Hampshire Mesothelioma lawyer that has a track record of success in New Hampshire asbestos lawsuits.\nExperience - The Mesothelioma Help Center has been helping New Hampshire Mesothelioma victims and their families for more than 12 years.\nAsbestos companies knew of the dangers of asbestos exposure in New Hampshire for many years before ever warning the public of those risks. It is thought that around eight million people in the United States have been exposed to asbestos over the past half a century, and many more asbestos related cancer cases are expected to be reported in the next 25 years.\nNew Hampshire Mesothelioma Attorney\nWe will walk you the process of getting connected with a New Hampshire Mesothelioma Lawyer.",

        "title": "Plastic Gift Cards vs Paper Gift Cards: Which Is More Environmentally Friendly - Mommy's Block Party",
        "raw_content": "Plastic Gift Cards vs Paper Gift Cards: Which Is More Environmentally Friendly\nRight from mainstream media to schools, we have been taught that plastic is the work of the Devil. They cause pollution and they are not biodegradable, so we need to reduce their usage in order to \u201csave the planet.\u201d In these very discussions, paper flies in as the much-touted superhero to save us from the perils of plastic.\nAs it turns out, paper is not that environmentally friendly either. In fact, in some ways, plastic is much more environmentally friendly than paper. If you are looking to purchase gift cards online and you are torn between plastic or paper, you have stumbled upon the right post. In this post, we are comparing plastic gift cards with traditional paper gift cards to find out which one of the two is more environmentally friendly.\nEnergy Consumption (During Production): One of the major factors people forget to consider is energy consumption during production. Why is energy consumption important? Mainly because energy is commonly generated by burning fossil fuels which lead to air pollution. In that respect, plastic definitely beats paper. Paper production requires a lot of energy. A lot of industrial level heating and cooling is required to convert wood pulp into paper. In fact, paper production requires 4 times the energy than producing plastic. That\u2019s why a lot of responsible paper plants have now shifted to renewable energy sources. The problem is when you are buying a gift card, there is no way to tell where the paper is sourced from.\nEnvironmental Pollution (During Production): As mentioned before, paper production requires a lot of heating and cooling. It\u2019s also a tremendously thirsty process as the pulp need to be washed and processed using water. Toxic water is often dumped indiscriminately in lakes and rivers, which affects marine life. Barring the water pollution, paper production also results in the emission of greenhouse gases. Plastic production is a much cleaner process. It causes as much as 80 percent less air pollution. Making plastic gift cards and other items also require very little water.\nPotential Threat to Wildlife: We have all seen pictures of marine animals and birds trying to free themselves from plastic bags. It\u2019s heartbreaking. This is why it\u2019s always recommended to use recycled plastic products and dispose of them in proper recycling bins. Unlike bags and bottles, plastic gift cards really don\u2019t pose a threat to animals. This is mainly because there is no real way of getting entangled in a plastic gift card. Paper, on the other hand, is more biodegradable and thus do not pose a similar threat. While they themselves are not a threat, paper production causes immense water and air pollution which can impact wildlife and natural habitats.\nA lot of people go online to buy custom gift cards and they often wonder whether they should buy plastic cards or paper ones. Suffering from the false belief that paper is better than plastic, they end up buying paper gift cards. Considering the total number of gift cards sold during the holiday seasons, this takes a serious toll on the environment.",

        "raw_content": "Ford, Mazda Urge More Pickup Owners to Stop Driving Over Takata Airbag Danger\nConsumer Reports 2/13/2018 Patrick Olsen\n\u00a9 Provided by Consumer Reports\nMore 2006 Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series trucks are now under a rare stop driving recall, with federal regulators urging owners to tow the vehicles to dealers to have Takata airbag inflators replaced.\nThe Monday advisory raises the number of 2006 Rangers involved to 30,603 in the U.S., says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Mazda is expanding its advisory to include 1,955 B-Series pickup trucks from model year 2006, up from the original 160, a Mazda spokeswoman said in an email.\nNHTSA said in a statement that the automakers will tow the small pickups to local dealers and replace the parts, all free of charge. Ford said in a statement that its dealers will provide a free interim loaner if needed.\nSo far, 15 people have been killed by exploding Takata airbags in the U.S., NHTSA says. The recall is one of the biggest and most complex in U.S. history, involving 37 million vehicles across multiple models and years.\nThis is the second stop-driving notice for these pickups from the 2006 model year. On Jan. 11, NHTSA and Ford first told owners of some-3,000 Rangers from the 2006 model year to stop driving after a July 2017 death blamed on a Takata airbag, the second fatality in a 2006 Ranger.\nDavid Friedman, director of cars and product policy and analysis for Consumers Union, the advocacy division of Consumer Reports, says the recall expansions show that automakers need to be more transparent about safety issues.\n\u201cAutomakers need to stop waiting till people get hurt or killed to act more aggressively when it comes to airbag inflators we already know are deadly,\u201d he says. \u201cFord should make their testing data public so consumers can make informed decisions about their own safety, and NHTSA should do the same for all other vehicles with Takata airbags.\u201d\nFriedman noted that do-not-drive orders are very rarely issued, and they only occur when the risk is believed to be extreme.\nWhy did Ford expand the number of trucks involved, but not to all of the Rangers produced for the 2006 model year? Because when Ford issued the initial do-not-drive order in January, its investigation into the July 2017 death wasn't complete, according to company spokeswoman Elizabeth Weigandt. The expansion of the order on Monday came after the automaker received additional data indicating an elevated risk in these 30,000 trucks.\n\"We make decisions on safety actions based on data,\" Weigandt said. \"We haven't found the same kind of data on other vehicles.\"\nIn a statement to Consumer Reports, NHTSA said it takes a proactive approach to safety and continues to be in close communication with Ford, Mazda and Takata regarding these pickup trucks. NHTSA said it has asked all parties to look for defects in other model years, too.\nThe Rangers in this do-not-drive order were built at Twin Cities Assembly Plant from Aug. 10, 2005, to Dec. 15, 2005, and from Aug. 5, 2005, to Nov. 4, 2005, says Ford, adding that it's not aware of any injuries or fatalities involved in these additional trucks.\nAll Ford Rangers from the 2004 through 2006 model years built in North America also are included in the Takata recall, for driver- and passenger-side frontal airbag inflators. Certain Rangers from the 2007 through 2011 model years are also covered by the Takata recalls.\nOwners can check to see if they have any outstanding recalls by visiting nhtsa.gov/recalls, and plugging in their vehicle identification number (VIN). The VIN can be found on car registration forms, behind the lower portion of the windshield on the driver\u2019s side, or on a label located on the driver\u2019s door jamb.\nBest New Cars Under $30,000\nBest All-In-One Desktop Computers for Every Budget",

        "raw_content": "Green Beret Challenge Offering New 24-Hour Event \u2013 Behind Enemy Lines\nGreen Beret Challenge has continued to be one of the best-rated OCR companies on Mud Run Guide according to readers. The small company has quickly made a name for itself and reputation for quality well-produced events. On Friday, Mark Ballas the founder of the race organization announced a new 24-hour event in the companies lineup called Behind Enemy Lines. According to Ballas,\nAccording to Ballas,\n\u201cThe premise of \u201cBehind Enemy Lines,\u201d 24 hours of Green Beret Challenge is distinctly different from any of the endurance offerings currently on the market. My intent is for the participants to walk away with some new life skills, not just a 24-hour beat down. There is always a reason or end state to what we do with the GBC. And for these events, some unique takeaways\u2026\u201d\nBehind Enemy Lines will offer three versions, (or mission sets): Clandestine Operations, Urban Assault, and the Survival & Evasion mission set. Ballas went on to tell Mud Run Guide that each event will have some similarities, but some vast differences as well making each event different and exciting. Below is the formal description of the event from the Green Beret Challenge team.\nEver wonder what it would be like to be a Green Beret for a day? 24-hours of GBC is designed to allow the participants to experience a day in the life of a Green Beret. Regardless of which mission set you have chosen or being offered (Clandestine Operations, Urban Assault or our Survival & Evasion mission sets), we will expose each participant to real training and missions.\nPhase I will provide a little taste of what goes on at Special Forces Assessment & Selection (A&S) most folks will never get to see or understand. Expect to be tested both individually as well as collectively. Our \u201cbase camp\u201d will host individual & team building events just like the Special Forces \u201cGreen Beret\u201d candidates encounter at the remote training facility nestled in the hamlets of North Carolina. After the initial fitness evaluation similar to the Army physical fitness test, attendees will be evaluated on various individual and collective tasks and assessed by a real Special Forces veteran. This is a MUST PASS phase. The follow-up phases of each mission set are drastically different in scope and will be not be publicized to ensure we maintain the integrity of the event. The participants will receive all necessary information, performance standards, packing lists, event timeline, etc., upon completing the registration process.\nWhat we can tell you; as the journey unfolds, the teams will have to adapt to an ever changing scenario that will require sound judgment, a bit of uncertainty and a lot of excitement. \u2013 Team GBC\nWe asked Ballas who this event is geared toward and if there were any fitness requirements for the event. He told MRG that the event is geared toward anyone in OCR. He added that there are some eligibility standards during phase 1 but emphasized they are nothing difficult and should not stop participants from signing up.\nBallas did mention a 4-mile road march in 1 hour (cadre led), Army PT with 70% min standard for push-ups, sit-ups, and a 2-mile run. For those looking to take on a new challenge especially those who enjoy the endurance side of OCR, this is a unique opportunity.\nGreen Beret Challenge currently has two scheduled events; September 16-17, 2016 in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and December 3-4, 2016 at our new Texas home, the Y.O. Ranch Headquarters, Mountain Home, Texas. In 2017 the company is looking to expand to six events.\nFor more information and how you can register check out our Green Beret Challenge page.\nAre you ready for the 24-hour challenge?\nBy Margaret Schlachter|2016-07-05T11:56:56+00:00July 6th, 2016|Race Information|0 Comments",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb English News \u00bb Angolan president talks to some of state's toughest critics\nAngolan president talks to some of state's toughest critics\nJOHANNESBURG \u2013 Angolan President Joao Lourenco has met longtime critics of the government, generating some goodwill from activists who struggled to have their voices heard during the long rule of former leader Jose Eduardo dos Santos. Lourenco, a former defense minister who became president last year, on Tuesday hosted members of Angolan civil society organizations at the presidential palace to discuss education and other ways to improve the country, long criticized for corruption and human rights abuses. Lourenco has sought to distance his administration from his former boss, removing dos Santos' children from powerful government posts and opening the way to corruption cases against them. Activist Sergio Calundungo welcomed what he called a \"symbolic meeting\" that indicates Lourenco is \"not afraid to dialogue,\" according to Agencia Angola Press, the state-run news agency. Luaty Beirao, a rapper who had been jailed during the dos Santos era, tweeted that he had expected the meeting to be a positive gesture rather than a \"magic wand\" that would wave away the country's problems. One of the Angolan state's harshest critics was barred from the meeting. However, journalist and activist Rafael Marques de Morais said he planned to meet privately with Lourenco on Wednesday after learning the president wanted to see him. \"I believe in the goodwill of the president,\" Marques said on Maka Angola, a website that he founded to highlight alleged government corruption and other concerns. He said he planned to raise the \"main concerns\" of people in Angola, an oil-rich country where poverty is widespread. In an October article in Maka Angola, Marques noted \"encouraging signs\" in Lourenco's anti-corruption drive, including the arrest of Jose Filomeno dos Santos, son of the ex-president and former head of Angola's sovereign wealth fund. However, Marques wrote: \"Bringing so many rich and powerful criminals to justice is complicated by the fact that so many retain positions of political or military power.\" Jose Eduardo dos Santos, who took power in 1979 amid a civil war, stepped aside as president after elections last year. He quit the post of ruling party leader in September, saying he had made mistakes but was leaving with his \"head high.\"",

        "raw_content": "Johann Gottlieb NAUMANN (1741-1801): \"Zeit und Ewigkeit\"\nSimone Kermes, soprano; Britta Schwarz, contralto; Marcus Ullmann, tenor; Gotthold Schwarz, bass\nK\u00f6rnerscher Sing-Verein Dresden; Dresdner Instrumental-Concert\nrec: Oct 18 - 22, 2001, Dresden, Lukaskirche\nHeilig ist Gott der Herr for 2 choirs and orchestra; Psalm 149 (Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied) for soloists, choir and orchestra; Zeit und Ewigkeit, cantata for soloists, choir and orchestra\nThe German composer Johann Gottlieb Naumann is mostly known for his operas. One of them, Gustav Wasa, which he composed in Sweden in 1786 and which he considered his best work, even became a Swedish national opera.\nThis recording shows a lesser known aspect of Naumann's output: his sacred compositions. It contains three works: a large-scale cantata and two short pieces, which are much more modest in scoring and style.\nNaumann was the main musical figure in Dresden between Hasse and Weber. He was born in Blasewitz, near Dresden, and received his first musical education at the Kreuzschule in Dresden. At the age of 16 he travelled to Italy in the company of the Swedish violinist Anders Wesstr\u00f6m. There he received musical lessons from Giuseppe Tartini and 'Padre' Giovanni Battista Martini. He also came into contact with Johann Adolf Hasse in 1762, who was in Venice at the time. In the same year his first dramatic work was performed in Venice, the intermezzo Il tesoro insidiato. On Hasse's recommendation he was appointed second church composer in Dresden in 1764. The next year he became church and chamber composer and in 1776 Kapellmeister. He regularly travelled abroad: in the mid-60's and early 70's he went to Italy, and from 1777 to 1786 he spent some time in Sweden, where his opera Cora was performed at the inauguration of the new opera house in Stockholm. Before returning to Dresden, where he became Oberkapellmeister in 1786, he was in Copenhagen. There he played a leading role in the reform of the court chapel and the court opera.\nIt was on his way to Sweden in 1777 that he visited Ludwigslust, the residence of Friedrich, Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Duke Friedrich was called 'the Pious', reflecting his strong adherence to Pietism. He had a not very large, but well-trained vocal and instrumental ensemble at his disposal. They were responsible for the concerts spirituels, where compositions by members of the ensemble as well as composers from elsewhere were performed.\nNaumann was that much impressed by the performances he heard that he spontaneously composed a setting of Psalm 96 for the ensemble, which was well received. Naumann was asked to compose the music for the cantata recorded here, Zeit und Ewigkeit. When he returned from Sweden in 1784 he went to Ludwigslust again, and there performed this cantata, where it got such a reception that it was frequently performed later during the concerts spirituels.\nThe text of the cantata was written by Heinrich Julius Tode, a theologian employed by the court of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. It consists of recitatives, arias, choruses and chorales. \"The present text concerns the contrast between the worldling who indulges in carefree pleasure and the Christian who piously keeps in mind the end of his life. While the first, surprised by Death, despairs, the latter welcomes the grave as a place of repose as well as a transitional zone to the last Judgment and to eternal life\", Ortrun Landsmann writes in the liner notes. Although there is no specific indication as for which time in the year this cantata was composed, it doesn't come as a surprise that the first performance took place on 1 January 1784. The turn of the year is a very appropriate moment to reflect upon the transcience of life. It is no surprise either that the cantata contains a setting of the chorale 'Ach wie nichtig, ach wie fl\u00fcchtig'.\nAlthough the ensemble for which the cantata was composed didn't consist of virtuoso singers and players, the technical level of the music is such that one has to conclude that their skills must have been considerable. There are some traces of the past, not only in the use of traditional chorales, but also in the fact that the bass solo at the end is representing the vox Christi, which we know from several of Johann Sebastian Bach's cantatas. In fact, the cantata ends with the words of Christ as they are written down in the Revelations (3,11): \"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown\".\nNaumann's work is still rooted firmly in the German rhetorical tradition which is shown by vivid illustrations of the text, like in the aria 'Die Zeit, die, kommend, tr\u00e4ge schleicht' on the words \"tr\u00e4ge\" (slowly), \"rasch\" (quickly) and \"Sturm\" (storm), or in the recitative 'So gehe dann sein Pfad' on the words \"bergauf, bergab\" (up the hill, down the hill).\nA more modern feature of the cantata is that parts of it are attacca: the last four sections merge into each other without interruption.\nThe two other works on this disc are strongly different in character. They were written for the Br\u00fcdergemeinde (Moravian Brothers) in Herrnhut (Oberlausitz, Saxony). The setting of Psalm 149 was composed for them in 1780, after Naumann got acquainted with its musical practices through a Dresden family connected to the Brothers. He visited Herrnhut in 1790 and was so impressed by the way music was used in this community that he composed Heilig ist der Herr for double chorus and orchestra for it. The rather simple instrumental parts reflect the musical practices in the community. In Psalm 149 Naumann wrote parts for the harp and three trombones, the playing of which was especially cultivated among the Moravian Brothers.\nOn the whole Naumann's works are given good performances here by soloists, choir and orchestra. I wonder, though, whether the quality of these works, in particular the cantata, are fully exploited. Sometimes I find the interpretation a little short on contrast, in particular in regard to dynamics. On the other hand I am not sure whether the sometimes quite virtuoso cadenzas in some arias are in line with what we know about the level of the ensemble for which this cantata was originally composed. The bass is a little weak in the accompagnato 'Schau hin'; he is much better at the end as vox Christi.\nTo sum up, this is a very interesting recording of sacred music by one of Germany's most important composers of the classical period, performed well enough to give a good impression of its qualities.",

        "title": "National Freedom Forum: Socialist Lies - Here They Go Again",
        "raw_content": "Socialist President Obama continues to reference the bad old days of the Bush II and Reagan Administrations. What is he talking about. Contrary to popular belief put out by the lame stream left wing media in their propaganda campaign, 8 million jobs were created during the Bush II Administration. Let's not forget, Bush inherited a Recession from Clinton's tax increases; but never whined about it. And then, 9/11 hit. Even so, as a result of the Bush Tax Cuts, for most of the Bush years, unemployment averaged 4.5% - 5.5%. Wouldn't it be great if we had that unemployment rate today.\nThe financial collapse that occurred at the end of the Bush II Presidency occurred because Socialists during the Clinton Administration insisted that mortgage companies make loans to their PEEP's, the people who could not afford to pay back those loans. This caused a chain of events that led to the financial collapse. In fact, it was George W Bush that pushed for more regulation of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae because Bush saw the financial tsunami coming. The Socialist controlled Congress, led by none other than Congressman Barnie Frank and Senator Chris Dodd, among others, all on the take from Fannie and Freddie refused to regulate these agencies. Finally, the bottom fell out at the end of the Bush II Presidency. These characters should all be in jail.\nWe would love to have the unemployment rate that existed throughout the Bush II Presidency, including the very last days when unemployment was around 7.6%, rather than Obama's 41 straight months of unemployment at 8% or higher. And, then there was Ronald Reagan. Reagan inherited a Recession from Jimmy Carter that was as bad, or even worse, than the one Obama inherited. Unemployment was above 10% when Reagan took office. Reagan cut taxes and regulations and created 20 million new jobs during his Presidency. Clinton ultimately inherited the Reagan economy, which allowed him to create jobs; but it all came to an end by March, 2001, right after Bush II came into office, because Clinton and the Socialists raised taxes two years earlier.\nThese are the facts, not Obama's Socialist lies and left wing, lame stream media propaganda. Now, Obama wants to raise taxes on the \"rich\" those earning more than $250,000 a year. This includes about a million small businesses. Experts estimate that this tax increase will cost 700,000 jobs. Is Obama completely crazy; maybe so, or just such a Socialist ideologue that he just cannot understand Economics 101. Raising taxes on anyone during a Recession is a job killer. The 11,000 new Regulations imposed on business by Obamanistas in the last four years are all job killers. Is it any wonder we have 25 million Americans either unemployed, under employed working part time that want full time work, or that have just given up looking for work altogether.\nWe must bring all of this to an end; but it will only happen when we sweep these Socialists, including President Obama and his pals in Congress, out of office in 2012 and 2014. We must take back our country to prevent the bankruptcy of the United States and to restore economic growth and job creation again in America. Mitt Romney gets it, which is the reason we must elect him the next President of the United States and gain Republican control of both Houses of Congress. It will not happen any other way.\nWe have to put on our hip boots and drain the swamp in Washington DC and many state capitols. We have to take back our country in 2012 and 2014 to preserve our freedom, our nation and way of life for the sake of our children and grandchildren. We can do it. We must do it to prevent the economic collapse of the United States and the loss of our national sovereignty. In the mean time, when you hear Obama on the campaign trail, always remember that Socialists will lie, cheat or steal to stay in office feeding at the trough. And, when Obama and his Socialist pals are critical of the Bush II, or Reagan Presidencies, he is telling lies; really big whoppers. That is why we call him President Pinocchio Obama. Obama's nose has grown so long he needs a wheel barrel to carry it around.\nP.S. To donate to Mitt Romney's campaign to make Obama a one term President, just go to mittromney.com and click on Donate.

This case challenges the students to use critical thinking skills to identify the relevant standards, as there is no direct reference in the ASC for accounting at a for-profit zoo. An assessment of the students indicates that the case provides a useful learning experience in interpreting and applying the authoritative Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in a real-life situation.

        "raw_content": "More UK Businesses Choose NetSuite for End-to-End Business Automation\nCompanies Switch to NetSuite from Sage and salesforce.com to Increase Sales and Productivity\nLONDON, 17 December 2008 \u2014 NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), a leading vendor of on-demand, integrated business management software suites for mid-market enterprises and divisions of large companies, today announced some of the latest growing companies across the United Kingdom who have chosen NetSuite over disparate business management applications such as Sage Line 50, QuickBooks and software from salesforce.com to grow their businesses and improve overall productivity. These organisations have embraced NetSuite for its integrated suite, which delivers enterprise resource planning ( ERP) / accounting, customer relationship management ( CRM), and Ecommerce capabilities in a single on-demand application. For more information about NetSuite customer success stories in the UK, please visit www.netsuite.co.uk/customers.\nThe most recent UK customers implementing NetSuite include four businesses representing a cross-section of industries. Innovise (software), Rapid Platforms (hoisting equipment retail and services), Gradwell (telecommunications), and Sweet Squared (beauty supply distribution) all found NetSuite to be superior to their old systems and have each realised significant cost savings since they switched to NetSuite.\nInnovise ( www.innovise.com), based in Brierley Hill, West Midlands, UK, is a fast-growing supplier of managed IT solutions and workforce management software to the small and medium-size enterprise market. As its workforce grew, Innovise switched from a combination of salesforce.com and Maximiser to NetSuite OneWorld to enhance its financial data security, increase business performance visibility and improve sales and account management. The company has been reaping the rewards ever since.\n\"NetSuite has delivered an excellent return on investment \u2014 more than we expected,\" said Graeme Hughes, Head of Sales & Marketing for Innovise's software division. \"Sales have increased significantly since NetSuite was introduced, and in light of the targets the business has set for me, if we didn't have NetSuite I wouldn't fancy my chances. In addition, our use of NetSuite OneWorld has immediately stopped duplication of effort \u2014 saving a third of our time just through the reduction in administration between sales and finance. It has also improved our financial accuracy by eliminating the errors that are inherent with manual processing.\"\nRapid Platforms ( www.rapidplatforms.co.uk), based in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, UK, is a worldwide provider of cherry pickers, access platforms and hoisting equipment. In business since 1982, the company offers the sale or hire of hoisting equipment as well as accredited training at its premises or on site. Prior to July 2008, Rapid Platforms was using a combination of ACT! and Sage Line 50, but the company soon needed new software to increase efficiency. In order to truly drive revenue and move forward, the company realised a single solution was critical. Rapid Platforms became a NetSuite customer in September.\n\"I chose NetSuite because it allows my staff to view our key performance indicators exactly as I do so we can work together to improve them,\" said Alistair Jordan, Director, Rapid Platforms. \"With NetSuite, Rapid Platforms has automated many of our processes and managed to stop information from slipping through the gaps. Now all our employees are working through the same system and we'll have NetSuite integrated with our in-house hiring and vehicle tracking systems as well.\"\nGradwell ( www.gradwell.net), based in Bath, Avon, UK, has been a leading provider of voice over IP (VoIP) since 1998. Gradwell builds and manages 'intelligent' Internet systems that support a business' need for broadband, email, domains, web hosting and telecom services.As Gradwell's employee base grew from six to 30 people in the past two years, QuickBooks couldn't keep up. The move to NetSuite offered Gradwell the right system to support its rapid growth. Since joining NetSuite, Gradwell has been able to customise its system and added a number of features, including screen-pop technology from NetSuite partner Camrivox.\n\"We chose NetSuite because it simply does everything,\" said Peter Gradwell, Managing Director of Gradwell. \"If we had continued having lots of separate systems, we would be running round going crazy. We switched from a combination of QuickBooks, e-Support and various in-house packages to the one system of NetSuite. Since then it has been helping us with many areas of our business including invoicing, key performance indicators and reporting, which used to be a highly work-intensive process with our previous software.\"\nSweet Squared ( www.sweetsquared.co.uk), based in Leeds, UK, is the main UK distributor for U.S.-headquartered professional nail products and services company Creative Nail Design.Sweet Squared took over the distribution rights from another company in September 2007 and with over 20,000 direct customers in its database and three sub-distributors, the company needed a system to run the business straight away. A combination of disconnected systems didn't do the trick and Sweet Squared needed a system which provided them with a consolidated view of the company.\n\"Before NetSuite we used a number of different systems which made it really difficult to get the information we needed to run our business smoothly,\" said Kate Linley, Financial Controller for Sweet Squared. \"Now I've got the information at the push of a button. The detail is better, there's more of it and there's less margin for human error. We can easily create reports to do weekly, monthly or even yearly comparisons. That's the beauty of it.\"\nNOTE: NetSuite and the NetSuite logo are service-marks of NetSuite Inc. Other marks are the property of their respective owners.",

We caught up with our users in Italy, and we met many new potential customers, who were very keen to learn the difference between the novel technology and the products presented by competitors.\nDuring a typical demonstration at the stand, the visitor had a chance to test the novel systems (emed\u00ae, pedar\u00ae, pliance\u00ae) and was then provided with a personal report on a CD-ROM.\nWe would like to thank Intimax for their support and hospitality, and hope to share this experience in two years\u2019 time, when the Exposanit\u00e0 will take place once again.",

        "title": "Pricing your Home to Sell",
        "raw_content": "Everyone, it seems, is an expert when it comes to pricing property.\nThis includes those mavericks among us who insist that it's their right to market their home at what ever price they choose. They are absolutely right, no one can force a seller to part with their home for a figure that's lower than the asking price. However, sellers who ignore the advice of a number of different estate agents who are able to back up their valuations with strong evidence may end up sitting with a property that no one is interested in buying.\nHearing that a beloved asset isn't worth half as much as the seller thought isn't an easy pill to swallow, but sadly, it is something that has to be faced and dealt with rationally. It's of no consequence to a buyer what you paid for it or how much has been spent in the way of improvements - they will overlook the home if it is more expensive than other similar homes offering the same sort of features in the area.\nBuyers also aren't interested in the fact that the seller is intent on climbing the property ladder. Ling Dobson, PGP area principal in Knysna and Plettenberg Bay concurs: \"We often hear, 'I'm upgrading to a larger home and I need my house to sell for 'Rx million' otherwise I won't be able to acquire the property I want.\"\nEvery seller is going to want to get the best possible price for his home. However, inflating a price hoping to 'catch' a buyer is unrealistic given that the buyer of today is very aware of not only what is on the market, but also what homes are selling at what price. Property portals list properties according to the suburbs in which they are situated and an overpriced home tends to stick out like a sore thumb.\nSellers also need to be very wary of over-capitalising. Putting solid gold taps, a gourmet kitchen, a sauna and a spa bath into an average middle class home could backfire if the seller tries to recoup these costs when selling - at least in the short term. \"Most suburbs have a ceiling price which obviously fluctuates with market conditions,\" says Laurie Wener, MD for Pam Golding Properties in the Western Cape's Cape Town metro region. \"If the costs of building and renovating exceed (the selling price)which can realistically be obtained in the market place, then this is over-capitalisation. However, over-capitalisation can be reduced by capital growth achieved over the time that the property is held.\"\nBuyers aren't guinea pigs and should not be used to 'test' the market. Selling a home is a serious business and should be approached as such. Sellers who try their luck by putting their homes on the market at a higher price with the intention of lowering the amount if no one takes the bait often end up selling for a price that is lower than the amount originally recommended. We all make assumptions and unfortunately in these instances buyers tend to believe that there must be something wrong and therefore shy away from making an offer.\nRemember that serious sellers price their homes to sell and as such are able to move on to bigger or better things far more quickly than those who hold out for a higher, unrealistic price.",

        "raw_content": "Jan 3, 2011: Cold And Stormy Pattern Developing\n***This post is from 2011. Please visit the MAIN PAGE to see the latest forecasts for January 2012.\n\u2013 The 5-Day Forecast was updated for the interior and the immediate NYC area tonight.\n\u2013 The poll for the most extreme weather event of 2010 remains open until Wednesday. Please vote in the poll if you have not done so yet.\n\u2013 Another poll has been opened for the potential impacts of the Friday-Sunday storm. Please vote your thoughts in the poll, which will close on Thursday.\nWith the passage of the cold front last night, a cold air mass returned to the area today, giving the area a sneak peek of what is to come later this month. High temperatures were generally in the mid 30s across the area, with some upper 30s in the immediate NYC area. Dry conditions will continue until Friday, when a storm is expected to bring the potential of a snowstorm to the area, however this will start what will likely be an active middle of January.\nTomorrow will be a mostly cloudy day across the area, with a southwest wind expected. High temperatures will be warmer than today, in the upper 30s inland with a few lower 40s possible, and in the upper 30s to lower 40s across the rest of the area, perhaps leaning closer to the mid 40s in the warmer parts of the immediate NYC area.\nThese warmer temperatures will be due to a weak low pressure near the Great Lakes, which may lead to an isolated flurry in the northern parts of the area but keep the better chance of snow showers well to the north and northeast of the area.\nWednesday \u2013 Thursday: Dry, Slightly Colder Than Average\nOn Wednesday, as the weak low pressure exits the region, a colder air mass will return once again with 850 mb temperatures slightly below -10c, however the surface temperatures may not be as cold, with high temperatures in the lower to upper 30s across the area. Thursday will bring similar temperatures, but with increasing cloud cover as a low pressure from the Great Lakes approaches that for the several days afterwards will bring widespread light snow to the region and the potential for a heavy snow event in New England.\nFriday \u2013 Saturday: Watching Snowstorm Potential\nToday\u2019s models continued the uncertainty from yesterday about this storm and how it develops, however there were some models showing a significant storm today, including the UKMET, the 00z ECMWF run which brought a huge snowstorm to the area even though it is likely an outlier in terms of how it handled the storm, and the GFS which showed a significant snowstorm for New England with smaller amounts for eastern Long Island/SE CT and barely any snow in NYC.\nAt this time, it appears that we will likely see a primary low pressure in the Great Lakes with the storm redeveloping off the coast and intensifying, potentially retrograding northwest towards the coast. Where the storm redevelops, intensifies, and where it moves from there are the main questions at this time, and could put the range of possibilities from a widespread heavy snow event from the NYC area further northeast into New England, to a storm which mainly affects New England with light snow for NYC, to a storm that stays mainly offshore with some moderate snow closer to the coast. At this time, however, the best chance for a significant storm still appears to be in New England.\nAt this time, I went with a 50% chance of light snow in the 5-day forecast, with potential mixing with rain near the coast due to above freezing surface temperatures in the beginning of the storm, but it may not be until Wednesday or Thursday when we see the models start to agree on a solution, so at this time the forecast has a slightly lower confidence level, and is subject to change. Stay tuned for more information on this storm and how it may affect the area.\nLonger Range: Cold, Then Another Storm?\nOnce the storm exits, cold conditions will stay in the area, with high temperatures still in the 20s for parts of the area, moderating by the start of next week. However, it appears that there may be another storm threat for the January 12-14 time frame. The ECMWF has been showing a significant snowstorm for 2 consecutive runs for the area with the 18z GFS also showing a large storm, and while it is too early to look at the smaller details such as the exact storm track and precipitation types, there is the potential for a storm to affect the area during this time frame. More information will be posted on this over the next few days.",

They really are listening and taking it all in! My son, Evan, is in that class...and lately, I have been very emotional (since he will be graduating next month and these are some of his last days here.) I wonder if and when he will realize how completely blessed he is, that he was able to grow up in such a loving and caring environment, as the one he has received here at Our Lady of Grace. From the Christian-based foundation and classmates that feel more like siblings, to the outstanding academics and amazing teachers- I couldn't have asked for a better place to nurture my kiddos! No school is perfect...but this one is very close!\"\n- Andrea Gryp\n\"Our Lady of Grace Catholic Academy formed almost 10 years ago. After visiting the school, spending time with both the teachers and administration I was quickly drawn to its focus on family, faith and community. The staff shared the vision, the technology and opportunities that they offered, but it was the personal dedication to each student that caught my attention. Our Lady of Grace is concerned beyond what can be learned just through books and a curriculum. They create a foundation, an enriched environment for learning, and developing young people. This has motivated me, as a parent to be active in this community, this extended family. I am not sitting back and waiting to see how things will turn out. Our Lady of Grace, now for 10 years, has proven to me that it is worthy of helping shape my children\u2019s lives and dreams\u2026and we\u2019ll do it together.\u200b\"\n- Tad Tyler\n\u200b\u200b\"What a great school to send your children to so they receive a QUALITY, CATHOLIC education.\"\n- Joshua Petersmith\nShare your Testimonial Here!",

        "raw_content": "The following article appeared in the June 2015 issue of the Community Chronicle Newspaper as part of a monthly column titled \"Ask the Attorney\" authored by Donnie O'Pry of the O'Pry Law Firm.\nI was involved in a car accident that was not my fault. Am I allowed to choose the body shop to perform the repairs or does the other driver\u2019s insurance company get to choose?\nI am sorry to hear that you were involved in an automobile accident. However, it is great that you are asking the right questions and making sure that you are informed of your rights. Automobile accidents affect everyone differently, so educating yourself on the insurance company\u2019s responsibilities and being familiar with the repair process can help ease the strain on you and your family.\nYou absolutely have the right to choose the body shop where you want the repairs made. Often the insurance company will have a list of their preferred vendors that they recommend. However, there is no requirement under Louisiana law that you have to use the insurance company\u2019s recommended body shop.\nThe decision where to have the repairs made can be an important one, especially if you have a newer model car that is still under warranty. You may be required to have the repairs made at an authorized dealer so as not to vitiate your warranty. Additionally, if you have a newer model vehicle, you may also be entitled to a cash payment from the insurance company for diminution of the vehicle\u2019s value. This is due to the fact that in many instances your vehicle will be worth less than it was before the accident simply because it was involved in a crash. In fact, some dealerships will not even purchase used vehicles that have been involved in an accident in which the airbag deployed. This is due to the fact that having the airbag deployed is a red flag that the vehicle was involved in a significant accident.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: HomenextExplore our archivenextPlacesnextA miscellany of placesnextCounty Mayo Peace Park and Garden of Remembrance\nCastlebar, Lough Lannagh Road,Mayo\nThe County Mayo Peace Park and Garden of Remembrance project is a Registered Charity No: 17261 in Ireland and is a non- political, non \u2013sectarian, non profit endeavour created for the singular aim of\n\u2026providing recognition to the significant Irish contribution to World Peace from County Mayo, Connaught, Ireland.\nThe members of the committee have collectively undertaken the project on a voluntary basis with no expectation of individual or collective reward, financial or otherwise. We are immensely grateful to all those who have given assistance to the project to date.Donations to the Mayo Peace Park will be gratefully accepted.\nThe annual Remembrance Day Service to commemorate the World War dead began in 1999,when Mr Michael Feeney, MBE organised an official Remembrance mass in the Church of the Holy Rosary in Castlebar following research which showed that a significant number of County Mayo soldiers were killed in action in World War I and World War II. Mr Feeney was made an MBE by the Queen Elizabeth 2 in recognition of his service to Ireland-Britain relations through the County Mayo Peace Park and Garden of Remembrance project.\nThe President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, performed the official opening of the Mayo Peace Park, Garden of Remembrance, on Tuesday the 7th of October 2008. The memorial park is situated in the centre of Castlebar fronting the old town cemetery opposite the Harlequin Hotel.\nA forgotten generation of brave heroic local people\nMayo Peace Park commemorates all those who served and died in the major world wars & conflicts of the past century as well as in other wars & conflicts. It was developed to remember a forgotten generation of brave heroic local people from every town and village of the county, whose service & sacrifice had been ignored and forgotten, indeed airbrushed out of modern Irish history until recent times. They had served with the Allied Forces in the world wars, in particular with the Australian, Canadian, United States, United Kingdom and Commonwealth, New Zealand and South African Forces.\nTwo of the Mayo men to die in foreign conflicts were soldiers of the Irish Defence Forces, Private William \u2018Billy\u2019 Kedian from Ballyhaunis, and Corporal Fintan Heneghan, from Ballinrobe, who died as part of UNIFIL Forces on United Nations peacekeeping operations in the Lebanon. The Mayo Peace Park committee erected a special memorial in their memory, it was the first memorial to commemorate them.\nThe most recent Mayo soldier to die in action, was a Royal Marine named Robert McKibben from Westport, he died in Afghanistan on the 12th of November 2008, his funeral was one of the largest ever seen in Westport, this had a profound effect on the whole community, it really brought home to everyone the brutal reality of war and a better appreciation of those who died for the peace we enjoy in our world. Robert McKibben was a long time member of the Irish Defence Force Reserves before he joined the Royal Marines. There is a special memorial dedicated to Robert in the park, he was the first Mayo soldier to be killed in action since the park was opened.\nThere is also a special memorial dedicated in memory of all those who died for Irish Freedom in the park. It also honours the memory of all the officers of An G\u00e1rda S\u00edoch\u00e1na who gave their lives in the service of Ireland.\nA tranquil oasis of peace and respect\nThe Mayo Peace Park, remembers all those brave people, in a most respectful manner, it is a tranquil oasis of peace and respect, it offers the families of the fallen, a place to say a silent prayer and reflect on the lives and sacrifice of their loved ones. The Mayo Peace Park has consigned the ignorance and bitterness of the past into history. It does not attempt to glorify or justify any war, its purpose is to commemorate the memory of the people of County Mayo who died in them.\nD\u00f3ibh si\u00fad a cealleadh",

        "title": "Reflection on the Accra Confession - Pie and Coffee",
        "raw_content": "Pie and Coffee Catechism, Creative Resistance, Easter, Environment, Oxford, Pentecost Reflection on the Accra Confession\n\u00ab 508 #110: Hippopotamus\nNewspapers down 8.7%; T&G down 9.5% \u00bb\nIn 2003, I attended the Congress of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, in Ottawa, the capital of Canada. In one of the sessions, I heard for the first time about the idea of extracting petroleum from tar sands. A representative of the oil company Shell Canada explained that, to extract the oil from the tar sands, one burns a quarter of the oil to extract the other three quarters of the oil. This sounded very inefficient to my ears. But as the world is running out of oil, the companies are counting on oil being expensive enough one day soon for this to be worth their while.\nOne of the places where tar sands are found is the Alberta Province in Canada: there is the Canadian connection. Land inhabited by the indigenous peoples (or First Nations) of Canada such as the Beaver Lake Cree Nation, will become wasteland because of the removal of trees at the open-pit mines, and because of the toxic waste products from the oil extraction process on site. I am now wearing a T-shirt: in front it asks: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dceat money?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 On the back, it has a saying, a short poem:\nwill we realize we cannot eat money\nGuess who said this? The Cree people. The same Cree people said this, decades if not centuries ago. A large area of Alberta, roughly the size of England, will be blighted in this way if it is not stopped.\nAnd the surprise is that we all, all of us, are funding this destruction. Not directly of course, but through our collective ownership of the Royal Bank of Scotland. A recent report Cashing in on Tar Sands (commissioned by campaign groups such as People and Planet, and researched by the thinktank Platform) set out the specifics of the Bank\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s investment in tar-sand projects. This was flagged up in the newspaper The Guardian. The corporate responsibility chief of the Royal Bank was allowed the right of response. What did he say? I quote: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRBS [\u2026] has not provided any finance directly to tar sands projects in the last three years\u00e2\u20ac\u2122: end of quote. Watch out for the weasel words \u2026 the adverbs. I repeat, quote: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRBS [\u2026] has not provided any finance directly to tar sands projects in the last three years\u00e2\u20ac\u2122: end of quote. On Thursday 11th of March this was printed in The Guardian. Unlucky for him, on Wednesday 10th of March, a local paper in Alberta, the Calgary Herald reported that RBS opened an oil-and-gas advisory office there. It quoted RBS Canada executive Larry Maloney\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s announcement, quote: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwe feel there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good niche for us to play\u00e2\u20ac\u2122: end of quote.\nIf you are surprised and outraged, well, the Members of Parliament on the parliamentary environmental audit committee were too, Tuesday 9th in the same week last month. The Treasury officials seemed nonchalant, though the MPs turned up the heat on them: the Treasury just wanted RBS to make money \u2013 as much money as possible, whatever the cost. So here you have a caricature \u2013 a real-life, bleeding-edge caricature \u2013 of what the Accra Confession is trying to tell us, to get us to recognize. The big structure \u2013 the Empire \u2013 rolls on, growing in the wrong places and sucking resources greedily like cancer. This is sold to us as economic growth \u2013 as something of value, the only thing of value, against which all else must be measured. But people\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s lives \u2013 especially those of the poor and the indigenous peoples \u2013 see little improvement if at all. The environment is ruined. And the worst: we are inextricably bound up in the whole business. And this goes on, as our planet turns, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year long, whether we notice it or not.\nIt would be pretty bad, pretty sad, if that were the end of the story. Thankfully, it is not. Another bank, this time the Co-operative Bank, is funding the Cree people in their court case against the tar-sand developers. If you have not noticed, the Co-operative Bank is also owned by some of us, its customer\u2013members. People and Planet, a campaigning charity, is taking the Treasury to court for a judicial review on this matter. Our sisters and brothers in the Reformed-church family, the United Church of Canada, is working on the ground, trying to reconcile those who are bent \u2026 hell-bent \u2026 on this kind of development and those who look upon it with horror.\nSo there is some hope, though the shape of it is not entirely clear yet \u2026 this, as we would recognize between Easter and Pentecost. What are we to do? How do we get this power back, that is rightfully ours? As consumers, as investors, and taxpayers, as voters, and as Christians, followers of Jesus Christ \u2026 in all, as citizens both of this country and of the other country: there is something for us to do. As our sisters and brothers remind us through the Accra Confession: There is some confessing to do. There is some repenting to do. Some changing of minds. Some naming of idolatry. Some rejection of anathema. Telling apart Mammon from God. Yes, there is some work to do. We can talk about this after the service. Perhaps the discussion, and the action, will take as long as our lives. God help us. Send the workers. Come, Holy Spirit. Amen.\nPublished in: Catechism, Creative Resistance, Easter, Environment, Oxford, Pentecost | on April 25th, 2010 | Permanent Link to \u201cReflection on the Accra Confession\u201d | Comments Off on Reflection on the Accra Confession",

        "raw_content": "18 year old dies after being shot by Police\nAn 18 year old man was shot after he faced charges for having sex with his 15 year old girlfriend. 18 year old Rasheed Elijio, was picked up by Police on Tuesday, for the crime of carnal knowledge, after he was caught with a 15 year old inside a Punta Gorda home. Elijio, along with the minor, were taken to the police station where the minor admitted to having sex with Elijio on seven instances. A medical examination certified that she was carnally known. Elijio, along with 19 year old Brian Garcia, who is facing a carnal knowledge charge against a 14 year old, were arraigned in Punta Gorda Magistrates Court yesterday. They were placed on remand and arrangements were made to have the men transferred to the Kolbe Foundation this morning. A little after 5 a.m, a prison officer and a PG Police Officer, set off to escort them along with another man who was convicted for drug trafficking. All five were about to board a James Bus to Hattieville, when Garcia and Elijio managed to escape. By 8:25 a.m, a call came into the Police Station, notifying authorities that 18 year old Elijio was captured, but had to be taken to the Punta Gorda Hospital, because he was shot during the process. But the 18 year old didn\u2019t make it and was pronounced dead at the hospital. Preliminary information coming out of the office of the Police Press Officer, is that when police were searching for the two escapees, they were sighted in the Carib Reserve Area. Police set chase after them and subsequently fired shots at them, fatally wounding Elijio. The report says that he had a gunshot wound to the left side of his body. There are no indications that the other person Brian Garcia was injured. An investigation has been launched into the shooting death of Rasheed Elijio.",

        "raw_content": "The PAC meets at the National Assembly in Belmopan\nIt\u2019s been a long time coming \u2013 a meeting of the Public Accounts Committee and we were hoping to bring you inside coverage of that gathering; however the media was not allowed past the chamber\u2019s door\u2026 but we\u2019ll get back to that point in a few. Just before the meeting convened, we spoke with Chairman of PAC, the Hon. Julius Espat about his expectations going into Wednesday\u2019s meeting. Here\u2019s what he said.\nHon. Julius Espat \u2013 Chairman, PAC:\nI expect that it should be cordial and professional encounter, and we should be mature enough to discuss our differences. But as the Chairman I have a mandate as to what my party had decided, and what the Belizean people have told us as to what they want, and I will stick to that. But that doesn\u2019t mean that they can\u2019t come up with their agendas or their proposals. And that does not mean that we cannot even discuss it or debate it. We have to be mature. We have to find a way for accountability and transparency to start work.\nMembers from both sides of the House did arrive for the meeting and proceeded inside. However, about forty minutes after it begun The Chairman and his colleague, PAC member the Hon. Rodwell Ferguson exited the building, followed some fifteen minutes later by the Government\u2019s side \u2013 that is \u2013 the Hon. John Saldivar, Hon. Michael Finnegan, Hon. Edmund Castro and the Hon. Herman Longsworth. It was a rather short meeting, and that is because right after the commencement of the meeting a point of order was raised, supposedly to decide on just how far back the PAC would take its appraisals of the Auditor General\u2019s reports. Chairman Julius Espat of the opposition, proposed that they reviewed the current reports, while Government members tabled an alternate agenda. Since they hold a 4 to 2 majority, voting went in their favor.\nHon. Michael Finnegan \u2013 Member PAC:\nHe made a proposed agenda to discuss the 2010/2011 auditor\u2019s general report. Mr. Saldivar made a counter-proposal that we proceed with 2003, 2004,2005 auditor\u2019s report. There was a stalemate, and if there\u2019s a stalemate in a democratic process, then you would have to revert to a vote. There was a vote and Mr. Saldivar\u2019s proposal was accepted. At that stage the chairman then walked out of the meeting.\nJulius Espat argues that such an agenda goes against the principal mandate of the Public Accounts Committee.\nI had a proposed agenda. They [did] not agree to that, and have a new proposed agenda. We\u2019re saying that I cannot accept any proposed agenda that goes against what the mandate of Public Accounts Committee is. It is a simple mandate. It is one of oversight. Oversight has to do with what we\u2019re dealing with now, to solve the present problems that we have, so that we can have a formula as to how to move forward. They want to go back and do what they call forensic auditing. They are trying to go on a political witch hunt, and we are saying the Prime Minister and the cabinet has all the power to go to the House of Representatives and create a special select committee to do that, if that is what they wish. We don\u2019t have any objections to that. What we are objecting to, is that they are trying to dilute what the Public Accounts Committee stands for. They are trying to distract the Belizean people from reality. All the Belizean people want to know is how their money is being spent.\nIn our case we had no problem, but I had to speak sternly because, as you are aware, they are saying that it\u2019s power by majority, so what they say we have to agree to. We had to stand our ground.\nAll differences aside, it seems that the PAC will move forward. We asked what\u2019s next for the committee, as well what are the Chairman\u2019s plan to bring the evaluation process outside of the chambers of the National Assembly.\nWhat\u2019s next for us? We will go to the people. We will follow what George Price did. We will have our people\u2019s assembly. We will go to each constituency, and I start it by going Sunday to Corozal Southwest, where I as the chairman will be making our report and we will be analyzing the Auditor General\u2019s report. I have been invited by the Southern Caucus to start a tour next week, and we will go to each constituency, and will explain to the people what transparency is all about. We are serious about our job. We will go to the people. I don\u2019t have to be here, because they don\u2019t even want us here, as you have seen. They didn\u2019t even want the representatives to be in their House. But we are representatives of the people, and the people want information.\nHon. John Saldivar \u2013 Member, PAC:\nThat agenda includes accepting a schedule of public hearings to deal with all the Auditor General\u2019s Reports that we have to review, and that schedule has now been accepted by the Committee, and the first public hearing will be held on September 23rd. As we have proposed, we proposed on Mondays, we will start with the 23rd of September, to deal with the old ones, and on Wednesday, which would be the 25th of September, to deal with the ones that cover this current administration.\nIn a press release issued Wednesday evening, the Chairman, the Hon. Julius Espat maintains \u201cOur responsibility is clear that we need to deal with the Auditor General\u2019s report that was tabled in the house during our tenure as Legislatures. We are not historians, and we are not responsible to do the job of past chairman\u2019s and their committees. In the mean time though, we will exhaust all efforts to make sure the present formula does its job\u201d.",

        "raw_content": "VIP concerned with lack of Integrity Reports\nVision Inspired by the People (VIP) has another issue to hash out and that is the Integrity Reports \u2013 or an unflattering lack thereof. Public Relations Officer for VIP Bobby Lopez tells us more.\nMr. Robert Lopez- Officer of Public Relations of the VIP\n\u201cThe law says that that on an annual basis, every elected person, town, city, national government, Senate, including the Speaker (and when you add up those, it\u2019s 111 persons, are supposed to annually disclosed their finances, their income, their liabilities, their assets for themselves, their wives and their children. We wanted to see if\u2026first of all, it was all to see if Penner has disclosed as the law requires under the Corruption in Public Office Act. And what we are\u2026we were not able to find much because there\u2019s only one report, and that\u2019s the last report that was ever done in 2010. And that disclosure was for the Hon. Carlos Perdomo, and so, it shows us that one person\u2026one elected person out of a hundred and eleven that are supposed to disclose, have not disclosed, probably, since the UDP took office in 2008 because, actually, Mr. Perdomo\u2019s disclosure was for 2008\u2026and that was the last one filed in 2010\u201d.\nIn accordance with law, says Boby Lopez, elected officials who fail to publish their finances and assets, as well as those of their families are liable to punishment.\nMr. Robert Lopez\n\u201cThis is a law that comes with a penalty in the first instance, of $3,000, a penalty of $100 per day, okay? I did the math: So, every person elected person owes $39,500 for very year that they fail and when I did the math in a five year term, they owe over $300, 000! Figure it out from 1994 I would want an audit to be done and a report showing all the elected persons since 1994, who all disclosed and who all still owe because, there is no statute of limitations on that. That is like a tax; that is like a penalty. So, you owe that! You owe that! But who\u2019s going to collect? The PUP won\u2019t collect from the UDP and the UDP won\u2019t collect from the PUP, because they are both in their together. They both have squirted around this law, it is law! It is like, thou shall not steal!\u201d",

In this dual role,\nthe Council seeks a far-ranging and far-sighted perspective and is responsible for asking\nregularly, \u201cWhat is in Provo\u2019s best interest\u2014economically, culturally, environmentally, and\nsocially?\u201d\u2014in order to cultivate Provo\u2019s desirability as a multi-faceted place to reside, work,\nstudy, innovate, recreate, and raise a family. To that end, the Council nourishes a workable\nvision of the City\u2019s future, adheres to high ethical and operational standards, engages the\ncreative energies of the Mayor and Executive Director, and encourages their success\u2014all the\nwhile maintaining an open, accessible, transparent, accountable, and citizen-friendly culture.\nProvo\u2019s celebrity as a smart, hospitable, well-supplied, innovative, energetic, and peaceable\ncommunity continues to receive global notice, not least because its mayor-council government\nremains vigilant\u2014tracking trends, identifying potential resources, and actively supporting new\nand provident synergies in its business, educational, cultural, and recreational sectors. The\nmunicipal government\u2019s insistence on the sustainability of the City\u2019s budget, infrastructure, and\nnatural environment is matched by its untiring commitment to the quality of life for all who\nreside, work, seek services, and tour within its limits. Diligent in its legislation of property\nrights, the Municipal Council is equally attentive to the general welfare and provides a dynamic,\ninspiring model of governance that is affirmed locally, regionally, and nationally\nIf you have feedback or comment on the Council\u2019s vision or mission statements, let them know by either leaving a comment on this article, or by contacting your Council Member directly here.",

        "raw_content": "Babies Seeing Violence Show Aggression Later\nKnowing about the delayed effect on children is important for social workers assessing the impact on children in homes with domestic violence, Holmes said.\nAggression in school-age children may have its origins in children 3 years old and younger who witnessed violence between their mothers and partners, according to a new Case Western Reserve University study.\n\u201cPeople may think children that young are passive and unaware, but they pay attention to what\u2019s happening around them,\u201d said Megan Holmes, assistant professor of social work at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland.\nBetween three and 10 million children witness some form of domestic violence each year, according the National Center for Children Exposed to Violence.\nHolmes said researchers know the impact of recent exposure to violence, but little information has been available about the long-term effect from the early years of life. To her knowledge, she said her study is the first to look at the effect of early exposure to domestic violence and its impact on the development of social behavior.\nIn the study, \u201cThe sleeper effect of intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure: long-term consequences on young children\u2019s aggressive behavior,\u201d Holmes analyzed the behavior of 107 children exposed to IPV in their first three years but never again after age 3. The outcomes of those children were compared to 339 children who were never exposed.\nThose studied were from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW), which included children reported to Child Protective Services for abuse or neglect. The children\u2019s behavior was followed four times over the course of 5 years.\nHolmes\u2019s research examined the timing, duration and nature of their exposure to violence and how it affected aggressive behavior.\nAnalyzing aggressive behaviors, Holmes saw no behavioral differences between those who did or did not witness violence between the ages of 3 and 5, but children exposed to violence increased their aggression when they reached school age. And the more frequently IPV was witnessed, the more aggressive the behaviors became.\nMeanwhile, children never exposed to IPV gradually decreased in aggression.\n\u201cThe delay also gives social workers a window of opportunity between ages 3 and 5 to help the children socialize and learn what is appropriate behavior,\u201d said Holmes, who has worked with mothers and children in domestic violence shelters.\nInterventions can include play and art therapies to help children work through the violence they were exposed to.\nHolmes reported her findings in the spring issue of Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.\n\u201cMy overarching goal is to contribute to optimal development of children who have been exposed to IPV by identifying risk and protective factors that will be translated into interventions,\u201d Holmes said.\nThe study included support from the National Quality Improvement Center on Early Childhood, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 Administration for Children, Youth and Families in the Office on Child Abuse and Neglect.\nCategory(s):Aggression & Violence\nSource material from Case Western Reserve University",

Also, I have written chapters that recount Freddie, the down-to-earth, generous and caring man enjoying himself with his close American friends (of eleven years) right up to his unfortunate death. In his real life, Freddie enjoyed fitting in and just being \"one of the boys\" Early 1980's New York provided this for him.\nThe book is finished and being reviewed by a literary agent. Publishing this book as a \"coffee table book\" will cost a good amount of money.\nThis book is timed with the opening of the new docu-drama \"Bohemian Rhapsody\" which is sure to reignite interest in everything Queen and everything Freddie. A free, autographed copy by the authors (I have a co-author who was also part of our group of close friends in New York and beyond) will be provided for any donation over $50.00. This book will definitely sell, but a refundable donation (once the book is published, available and selling) can be provided.\nThe title of the book will be \"Freddie Mercury in New York - Don't Stop Us Now!\"\nI thank any donators in advance who might help us to make this project become a reality.

        "raw_content": "Through my work as a counsellor and as a relationship therapist, I have found that time and again people are coming to me because they are finding it almost impossible to move forward with their lives after a particularly difficult and painful break up.\nI am going to have to generalise a fair amount in this blog because, of course, no two relationships or the end of said relationships are the same. So I apologise if you find yourself thinking \u2018Well yes, that\u2019s all very well, but in my situation that wasn\u2019t the case\u2019 because I cannot possibly explore all the potential variations of such a personal and individual experience. What I will say is that my heart goes out to you if you have been left scarred, and I know that regaining a sense of who you were before the relationship is extremely difficult \u2013 I am not in any way minimising or trivialising what you have been/are going through.\nI have read a number of articles and blogs on this subject and have found many of them to be a bit shallow. The sort of \u2018Go on holiday\u2019 or \u2018Buy yourself some new shoes!\u2019 type advice. I\u2019m actually a fan of the \u2018Start exercising\u2019 advice but I know this is only a tiny part of something that could only make you feel only very slightly better.\nSo, what follows is what I hope to be something with slightly more substance than the usual. It is my intention to explore the break-down of the relationship as well as some guidance on what you can potentially do to help yourself to heal.\nIt occurred to me that many of us seem to be somewhat unaware of the fact that relationships are subjective. It\u2019s not that we don\u2019t \u2018know\u2019 that, but we don\u2019t really consider it consciously. We tend to assume the other person is experiencing things in the same way we are. We assume they feel the same way (or at least in a similar way) as we do; that they have the same expectations of the relationship as we do; that they have the same shared vision of the future as we do. But often this isn\u2019t the case. There is a sense of shared experience, of course, but mostly we see things as we are; not as they are. Just take a minute to digest that because once you do, if it\u2019s something that you haven\u2019t considered before, it can create quite a shift in your perception of almost everything.\nMaybe you had different expectations of the relationship, you assumed that marriage and children were a given. Maybe they have never wanted children and assumed a child-free life was a given. Maybe they don\u2019t believe in marriage. Maybe they don\u2019t see flirting as being disrespectful, but you do. Maybe you expected to do everything as a couple, but they expected it to be just 2 or 3 dates a week. I could go on (but I won\u2019t). Sometimes these things just aren\u2019t communicated, because each party just assumes the other person is on the same wavelength as they are, or they simply avoid the topic for fear of it affecting things and the relationship they currently have.\nThere is also the possibility that the other person led you to believe that they did indeed hold the same expectations as you. They had no intention of having children, but allowed you to believe they would because they didn\u2019t want the relationship to end. Maybe they were more deliberately cruel than that. Maybe they were wonderful for a while, but then became abusive and seemed to transform overnight. Maybe they cheated. Maybe you did. Sometimes though, people just change and it\u2019s a sad fact of life that if you don\u2019t change together, you grow apart and if one of you wants the relationship to come to an end because they don\u2019t love their partner anymore, it can be incredibly painful for the partner to accept, especially if they are still very much in love.\nOften, the loss of the fantasy relationship can be just as painful as the loss of the actual relationship. It\u2019s that sense of loss over the imagined future that will never be. Or the idea of the relationship as it was in your mind, but not in real life. It\u2019s the \u2018rose tinted glasses\u2019 effect. Perhaps you have idealised them and are putting all the negatives to the back of your mind. Maybe you are doing the opposite \u2013 maybe you are holding on to all the negatives and are eaten up with anger and regret. You can\u2019t forgive them for breaking your heart.\nAnd, of course, the fantasy is most likely not how it really was/would have been. You see, there\u2019s always a reason it ended. Are you mourning the loss of the relationship it could have been rather than the one it was? Because letting go of a dream is painful and being faced with an unknown future is scary. The thing is, the future is always unknown. It can never be predicted. All we can ever be certain of is right now. So it will be what it will be, even without that person.\nThe thing to remember is that your identity is not built around being one half of another person; you aren\u2019t defined by the relationship or by the break up. You are many other things besides. You are you, and you are who you are because of everything that has happened to you, good and bad. I absolutely believe our paths are mapped out for us and that everything happens for a reason. If something happens that feels awful (which it will \u2013 life is never a complete bed of roses), there is something better waiting around the corner. You may or may not subscribe to this way of thinking, you may think it\u2019s a load of BS, but I respect that position as I hope you are able to respect mine. I have yet to be proven wrong\u2026\nI would say that it\u2019s important to accept all your feelings over your experiences: it\u2019s ok to be angry (but not vengeful) and to feel resentful and sad and disappointed, possibly even still love them to some extent, and all the other things but you need to feel. Feel them, acknowledge why you feel them and then one day, if possible, accept what has happened and try to let go. If you allow what has happened to prevent you from moving on, they are still in some sort of control of your life and that\u2019s not ideal by any means. If you are angry and are remembering the bad things they did, can you remember any of the good things? If you can only focus on all the wonderful times, can you remember some of the negatives too? Can you achieve a sense of balance so you aren\u2019t eaten up by either position?\nIt\u2019s also worth pointing out that any loss can be experienced as grief. It\u2019s entirely possible that you\u2019re moving through the stages of grief and will experience a multitude of emotions that seem to ebb and flow depending on what day it is. You may move back and forth through these stages, but be reassured you will come out the other side. (More on that here if you\u2019re interested https://grief.com/the-five-stages-of-grief/)\nSometimes it helps to know that what happened was because the other person was selfish \u2013 they did it because of what seemed to be in it for them rather than as a result of who you are or what you did. As human beings, we are usually motivated by self-interest. We do what we believe is best for us and although we don\u2019t mean to hurt other people, the two positions may not be able to co-exist. We may have to hurt someone in order to get what we believe we need. It doesn\u2019t make it right, but knowing that they did what they did because of them, not you, means you can let go of those negative feelings about yourself and your worth, and begin to see yourself in a healthier, more positive light.\nThe chances are you couldn\u2019t have done anything differently, and even if you could there is no point dwelling and regretting. If you feel you were lacking in some way, it\u2019s far better to use that knowledge to do things differently in the future.\nYou also need to remember that the past doesn\u2019t predict the future. I can\u2019t stress this enough. One person\u2019s actions do not, in fact they cannot, dictate those of another, entirely different person. All too often we are hurt by someone and are so fearful of experiencing that again, we avoid relationships like the plague. It\u2019s natural to make this assumption (in fact this \u2018logic\u2019 is how we avoid burning ourselves on a hot stove more than once) but it is a flawed assumption nevertheless. Yes, you were hurt and your trust was broken, but that was by them, not by the next person you meet.\nHowever \u2013 I will tentatively suggest that if you find yourself endlessly choosing partners who hurt you it might be an idea to look at the way you feel about yourself and your expectations of what you deserve (but that\u2019s a whole new topic and one which I cover in my online course \u2013 not for now I\u2019m afraid).\nSo, as an end this brief exploration of moving on after a painful separation, I\u2019d like to encourage you to remember to trust in the human condition. Human beings have an immense capacity to heal over time and to adjust to new circumstances and live in a new way, even through pain. We somehow find a way to keep going, to rebuild our strength, to gain resilience and to feel stronger and more positive day by day.\nKeep the faith and be kind to yourself \u2013 things will get better for you. Life\u2019s not over yet, try to believe there are brighter things coming your way.\nAnd as usual, if you think I can help you in any way, please feel free to get in touch!",

        "raw_content": "Metabolism of nitric oxide (Homo sapiens)\neNOS activation and regulation (Homo sapiens)\nOriginally identified as endothelium-derived relaxing factor, eNOS derived NO is a critical signaling molecule in vascular homeostasis. It regulates blood pressure and vascular tone, and is involved in vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, platelet aggregation, and leukocyte adhesion. Loss of the bioavailability of endothelium derived NO is a key feature of endothelial dysfunction and is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. The endothelial isoform eNOS is unique among the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) family in that it is co-translationally modified at its amino terminus by myristoylation and is further acylated by palmitoylation (two residues next to the myristoylation site). These modifications target eNOS to the plasma membrane caveolae and lipid rafts.\neNOS activation and subsequent nitric oxide (NO) production is stimulated by a variety of stimuli, such as fluid shear stress generated by blood flow, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), bradykinin, estrogen, insulin, and angiopoietin. The activity of eNOS is further regulated by numerous post-translational modifications, including protein-protein interactions, phosphorylation, and subcellular localization.\nFollowing activation, eNOS shuttles between caveolae and other subcellular compartments such as the noncaveolar plasma membrane portions, Golgi apparatus, and perinuclear structures. This subcellular distribution is variable depending upon cell type and mode of activation. Subcellular localization of eNOS has a profound effect on its ability to produce NO as the availability of its substrates and cofactors will vary with location. eNOS is primarily particulate, and depending on the cell type, eNOS can be found in several membrane compartments: plasma membrane caveolae, lipid rafts, and intracellular membranes such as the Golgi complex. In addition, it has been reported that eNOS can also be detected in the nucleus, however, the conditions associated with nuclear localization of eNOS and its precise role in this cell compartment remains to be determined.\nSeveral stimuli can trigger a transient displacement of eNOS from the plasma membrane to other subcellular locations. This process can be mediated through various protein-protein interactions and/or changes in post-translational modifications. Knowledge of the precise molecular mechanisms governing the intracellular redistribution process is still rather limited.\n12842859 Protein interactions with nitric oxide synthases: controlling the right time, the right place, and the right amount of nitric oxide\nKone, BC, Kuncewicz, T, Zhang, W, Yu, ZY\nAm J Physiol Renal Physiol 2003\n16722822 Subcellular targeting and trafficking of nitric oxide synthases\nOess, S, Icking, A, Fulton, D, Govers, R, Muller-Esterl, W\neNOS activation (Homo sapiens)\nNOSIP mediated eNOS trafficking (Homo sapiens)\nNOSTRIN mediated eNOS trafficking (Homo sapiens)\nregulation of nitric-oxide synthase activity (0050999)\neNOS activation and regulation (Dictyostelium discoideum)\neNOS activation and regulation (Drosophila melanogaster)\neNOS activation and regulation (Gallus gallus)\neNOS activation and regulation (Mus musculus)\neNOS activation and regulation (Rattus norvegicus)\neNOS activation and regulation (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)\neNOS activation and regulation (Sus scrofa)\neNOS activation and regulation (Taeniopygia guttata)\neNOS activation and regulation (Xenopus tropicalis)\nEnikolopov, G (2008-02-28)\nHemish, J (2007-10-19)",

Keyboard player Rick Wakeman departed at the same time, thus leaving the band without two of their key members. They filled the void with vocalist producer Trevor Horn and keyboard player Geoff Downes who, at that time, were both members of pop duo Buggles. The new Yes line up of Horn (vocals), Downes (keys), Steve Howe (guitar), Chris Squire (bass) and Alan White (drums) clicked, but the resulting album \u2013 \u2018Drama\u2019 (released in August 1980) \u2013 is a release which polarises fans.\nPosted in Album & EP Reviews\t| Tagged 80s, buggles, classic album, classic rock, geoff downes, prog, steve howe, trevor horn, yes\nLawrence Arms: US tour dates, Feb/Mar \u201914\nIn suppoer of their upcoming new album, US punks The Lawrence Arms will be embarking on a run of dates across the US this coming February and March.\nPosted in News\t| Tagged lawrence arms, punk, the copyrights, tour dates\nTHE NAKED SUN \u2013 Space, Place & Time EP\nThe Naked Sun are a four piece Americana/roots rock band based in Philadelphia.

In a quest to push Rainbow towards a more commercial and radio-friendly direction a big shake up occurred, resulting in the departure of three of the band\u2019s five members. While Cozy Powell retained his position on drums, a quest for a new bassist saw the appointment of Blackmore\u2019s old Deep Purple mate Roger Glover, while the role of keyboard player was filled by future Ten/Deep Purple member Don Airey. Certainly the most devastating loss was that of Ronnie James Dio, who supposedly had no interest in Blackmore\u2019s new vision for the band. Since a talent like Dio\u2019s comes along once in a lifetime, perhaps other musicians would have fought to reach a compromise; but in any band featuring Ritchie Blackmore, Blackmore\u2019s decision is final.\nPosted in Album & EP Reviews\t| Tagged aor, classic rock, cozy powell, graham bonnet, melodic rock, rainbow, ritchie blackmore, roger glover\nNew video from The Minx\nJust in time for Christmas, alt-rock band The Minx have released a new single. \u2018(Can You Find) My Head\u2019 showcases the band\u2019s excellent mix of guitar driven styles as well as anything on their debut EP.

        "raw_content": "The Myth of Inevitability\nThose in our culture who reject absolute standards of morality in favor of an ever-evolving ethic dictated by the court of public opinion are forever touting the inevitability of the latest cultural trend. Progressives, as they like to be called, like moral fashion consultants, know what is cool and what is not. In their world, what is fashionable, whether it be clothing or convictions, is always in a state of evolutionary flux.\nTake gay marriage, for instance. We are led to believe that the wheels of cultural change are irresistibly set in motion and everything in the path of \u201cprogress\u201d will either adapt or be crushed. So traditional marriage, as the recent developments in New York demonstrate, is the fashion equivalent to leisure suits and platform shoes. This mantra is spewed incessantly by the media elite. Those who think differently are merely out of touch with the inevitable flow of progress. So after hours of this media brainwashing, we are forced to conclude that gay-marriage is here to stay. Embrace it. Deal with it.\nBut this is an absolutely false claim.\nFacts can be stubborn things. This new cultural phenomenon called same-sex \u201cmarriage\u201d is legal in only six states. In five of those states, gay \u201cmarriage\u201d was imposed by the state legislature, and in Iowa by activist judges, several of whom were later thrown out by public recall.\nOn the other hand, in the 31 states where \u201cwe the people\u201d were afforded the chance to weigh in on the issue, gay \u201cmarriage,\u201d was soundly defeated! In fact, the Alliance Defense Fund has just released a poll in which 62 percent of Americans believe marriage should be reserved for one man and one woman!\nSo much for the \u201cmyth of inevitability.\u201d\nBut here\u2019s the real problem. When lies, dressed up in the fashionable clothing of cultural progressiveness, are endlessly repeated, they often become self-fulfilling prophecies. Wickedness is inevitable only when the Church remains silent. In the words of the great statesman, Edmund Burke, \u201cAll that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.\u201d With God, only one thing is inevitable \u2013 the ultimate triumph of Christ and Truth over all counterfeit competitors!\nCategories: Uncategorized\tTags: myth of inevitability, progressives, same sex marriage\nGrowing Economic Opportunity\nI recently purchased a beautiful hibiscus plant for our patio. It\u2019s dazzling red blooms provide a sort of floral fireworks show all summer long. Unfortunately, this stunning plant will not survive our harsh Hoosier winters. That\u2019s why I kept it in the plastic container when I planted it. When the hostile environment arrives, it will be plucked from sure destruction and placed inside until a new, more agreeable, season arrives.\nIn many ways, our current economic crisis is a lot like trying to grow tropical plants in Indiana! Our president continually chides the business community for sitting on capital and refusing to hire new people. However, business owners are not idiots. They understand you cannot grow healthy businesses in harsh economic environments. If the government does not change the playing field by creating genuine economic freedom and opportunity, those with the ideas and the capital will never \u201cplant\u201d new businesses or expand existing operations. Like my fragile hibiscus, they\u2019ll uproot and move to an environment more conducive to long term health and vitality.\nIf the president wants to end the economic recession, he\u2019ll need to change the horrid business environment he has created via bad economic policy. Condsider for instance, the proliferation of regulations, rules, and red tape, all of which impose heavy costs on America. The Heritage Foundation just-released a new study called \u201cRed Tape Rising: A 2011 Mid-Year Report\u201d which goes on to highlight the pervasiveness of government\u2019s intrusive regulatory hand. According to the study:\nDuring its first 26 months\u2014from taking office to mid-FY 2011\u2014the Obama Administration has imposed 75 new major regulations with reported costs to the private sector exceeding $40 billion.\nEvery government regulation on the free market comes with a price tag. These costs are passed on to the consumer. As a result, \u201cBasic items, such as toilets, showerheads, light bulbs, mattresses, washing machines, dryers, cars, ovens, refrigerators, television sets, and bicycles all cost significantly more because of government decrees on energy use, product labeling, and performance standards that go well beyond safety\u2014as well as hundreds of millions of hours of testing and paperwork to document compliance.\u201d\nSo what\u2019s the bill for all this ridiculous regulation? Approximately $1.75 trillion a year!\nPresident Obama should realize that just as hibiscus plants won\u2019t survive harsh Midwestern winters, neither will American businesses survive the frigid blasts of an ever-increasing regulatory burden.\nIt\u2019s time for a change of seasons.\nCategories: Uncategorized\tTags: economic development. government regulations\nRobin Hood for President?\nWith all the talk of soaking the rich and the wealthy, evil corporations with higher taxes, you may be asking, \u201cIsn\u2019t the Federal Government supposed to be kind of like Robin Hood, taking from the rich and redistributing it in a more balanced and equal way to those less fortunate?\nAfter all, isn\u2019t equality a biblical principle?\nI\u2019m going to say something that I believe most of you will find shocking. Here it is: Equality was a founding principle of the godless, French Revolution, but it is not an principle of economics found in the Bible.\nGod is not concerned with equality, at least not in the way our modern liberals and socialists conceive. He is, however, concerned with justice.\nLet me explain the difference. Justice is not based upon the idea of equal income for all, but upon the principle of equal opportunity. In a fallen world, we can work to provide equal opportunity, a balanced playing field for everyone. We cannot, however, guarantee equal outcomes. If you give a thousand people a million dollars and ask them to do something with it, you\u2019ll get 1000 different results. Why? Because equal opportunity never produces equal outcomes in a fallen world. This is a utopian dream!\nIn a just society, we should all have equal opportunities under the law. The law is meant to be impartial. It applies to everyone the same way. This is why our statue of \u201clady justice\u201d is blindfolded.\nThe biblical principle of impartiality is outlined in Leviticus 19:15:\n\u201cYou shall do no injustice in judging a case; you shall not be partial to the poor or show a preference for the mighty, but in righteousness and according to the merits of the case judge your neighbor.\u201d\nAny law that gives an economic advantage to anyone, whether they are rich or poor, violates the biblical principle of justice. When our federal government taxes the wealthy at a higher rate than the rest of us they are guilty of violating the law of impartiality under the law.\nAuthor Cal Beisner wrote, \u201cAll men have different gifts, talents, interests, and abilities. Left free, they will exercise those in different ways and will produce different fruits. The only way to arrive at equal fruits is to equalize behavior; and that requires robbing men of liberty, making them slaves.\u201d\nThe government has no authority to steal through unjust taxation that which others have legally aquired through the free exchange of goods and services. To punish the hard work and economic success of our citizens under the ruse of \u201ceconomic equality\u201d or compassion for the poor is absolutely wicked and immoral.\nAristotle once wisely observed, \u201cIf you want to encourage something, reward it. If you want to discourage it, punish it.\u201d\nIt\u2019s time our federal government stops punishing the very ones who have both the capital and the know how to create real jobs and real opportunities for those less fortunate.\nCategories: Uncategorized\tTags: equality, justice, redistribution",

Over the course of two afternoon sessions they reflected on their collaborative process and engagement with audience through a participatory movement workshop, as well as a lecture-demonstration and panel discussion with Head of ResCen Professor Chris Bannerman and ResCen Research Associate Artist Richard Layzell. JOU and Matsumoto also performed the UK premiere of their multi-media work Alapadma on the evening of Friday 11 April.\n\u2018Emerging Voices\u2019 is part of ResCen\u2019s new research project \u2018Extending Participation in Contemporary Dance in Japan\u2019 that aims to forge new connections with Japanese artists and agencies by examining artists\u2019 engagement with audience through participatory dance practices. The project is led by Professor Chris Bannerman and funded by the Daiwa Anglo Japanese Foundation, British Academy and Sasakawa Foundation. One of the key aims of this project is to develop mutual understanding and to share good practice between Japanese and UK researchers. \u2018Emerging Voices\u2019 is not only a participatory event, but also one in which an exchange of experiences and ideas is encouraged through dialogue and discussion.\nResCen (Centre for Research into Creation in the Performing Arts) at Middlesex University has examined the creative process of artists in the UK for almost nine years. To date, most of this research has been focused on six particular artists, including Richard Layzell, who are based in the UK. This has formed one of the longest longitudinal studies of its kind. ResCen is currently extending its research to expand and test its findings in international contexts such as Japan and Asia.\nJOU is a Japanese dancer and choreographer who founded the performing arts project unit Odorujou in 2000 (see odorujou.net for more details). JOU draws on the cultural influences of both East and West from her experience as an artist who has lived in the USA, Malaysia and Japan. Her activities vary from performing on stage around the world to teaching contemporary dance. She has worked with a number of artists, filmmakers, architects and musicians. Her flexible and broad-ranging ideas are highly regarded: \u201cShe manipulates her long limbs and highly-flexible body sensitively and dynamically. She has sufficient physical vocabularies to keep dancing within one meter radius without making audience get bored\u201d (Contemporary dance HYPER guide 2004).\nMitsuaki Matsumoto (also known as Mathieu Martin) is a video and sound artist, composer, musician and scenographer. He has a wide range of musical interests including acoustic improvisation and electronic sound accompaniment. He regularly collaborates with choreographers.\nAlapadma is co-created and performed by JOU and Mitsuaki Matsumoto. The title of this work combines the French a l\u00e0 (meaning \u2018in the style of\u2019, as well as \u2018towards\u2019) with the Sanskrit word padma (\u2018lotus\u2019 which has a variety of symbolic meanings including God, Buddha, life, death and water). The multitude of meanings that arise through the combination of these two languages and words, serve as a starting point for the performance Alapadma that seeks to create an embodiment of meaning, rather than a literal translation. Alapadma includes a performance reading, audiovisual elements and dance performance.",

He became a violin-making apprentice at the age of 12 at the House of Primavera in Philadelphia. During the next six years, he frequently traveled to Cremona, Italy, to work with Virgilio Capellini and Alfredo Primavera, which complemented his Philadelphia training. Chris developed a keen interest in the study and identification of old violins and was mentored by Dario D\u2019Attili. Chris also counts Charles Beare and the late Robert Bein as important influences in this field.\nWhile he was still in high school, Chris and his parents, who are both violinists and teachers, established Reuning & Son Violins in Ithaca, New York. At age 24, Chris purchased the business from them and 12 years later relocated to Boston. Later on, he founded Tarisio Auctions with two partners. Tarisio grew to be the leading international auction house dealing in antique musical instruments from offices in New York and London. Chris sold his interest in Tarisio in 2010 in order to focus more fully on the fine instrument business. In 2005, Chris founded Carriage House Violins, specializing in student instruments, which he relocated and expanded in 2011 to a picturesque old mill building in Newton, Massachusetts. Chris sold Carriage House Violins in late 2013 in order to fully focus on his activities with fine instruments.\nChris has served on the boards of the Violin Society of America and the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers and is a member of the Entente Internationale des Luthiers et Archetiers. As past president of the AFVBM, he organized the annual meeting and exhibit in Seattle that examined the Cremonese violins made between 1730 and 1750. He has also organized AFVBM exhibitions that examined both the Venetian, and Neapolitan schools, and the followers of the Amati family.\nDuring the last several years, Chris has been organizing exhibits in Italy. He served on the scientific committee for \u201cAndrea Amati, Opera Omnia\u201d and was co-curator for \u201cThe Brescian Makers\u201d, which both took place in 2007. In 2008, he was curator of the exhibition, \u201cCremona 1730\u20131750, the Olympus of Violinmaking\u201d and editor of the exhibit catalogue. He performed the same roles for the landmark 2010 exhibit, \u201cCarlo Bergonzi, a Cremonese Master Unveiled\u201d. Chris recently lent his expertise to an exhibit devoted to Giovanni Battista Guadagnini held in Parma, Italy, in October 2011, and served as curator of the 2013 Cremona exhibit \u201cBottega Italiana, Rare Italian Instruments from the Chi-Mei Collection\u201d.\nChris has been a lecturer at gatherings of the VSA, AVFBM, and other organizations as well as a frequent contributor to The Strad and other publications. Chris advises the Musical Instrument department of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the North Bennet Street School violin-making department and is a former trustee of the Boston Chamber Music Society. Chris serves on the boards of Project Step and Music for Food. Currently, Chris is assisting Charles Beare with his long awaited book on the Venetian makers of the 16th through 18th centuries.\nChris lives in Brookline, Mass. with his wife, Min Kim, and their son, Nikolas. He is also the father of two older daughters, Gretchen and Monica, of whom, despite their being wind players, he is exceedingly proud.\ncreuning@reuning.com",

        "title": "Allergies and Behavior",
        "raw_content": "Many children with the symptoms of ADHD have a history of asthma\", default\", which can be incited during testing and treated along with the other symptoms.\nMost people think that an allergy reaction is limited to the respiratory tract, but that\u2019s not the case. Other parts of the body can also react. The cells that react to allergens are called mast cells and they have been found in many areas of the body. They have been found in the stomach, on the skin which can cause skin rashes, in the lungs and bronchial tract which can cause asthma, and in the brain which can cause difficulty concentrating. You may already know that when there is an allergic reaction, there is a release of histamine, which is why we take an antihistamine to block the effects. Histamine is a neuro-chemical which can affect the nervous system. It can make you sleepy or it can make you hyperactive or it can make you inattentive. So you see, allergies can impact how we think, feel and act which can explain why children with allergies can have problems learning in school.\nIn my office, during allergy testing, I have seen dramatic evidence of how allergies affect learning. I use the child's medical history and food preferences to help decide which substances to allergy test. The child is then given one drop of a food or inhalant allergen in the skin by injection with a very small needle. These are given at 10-minute intervals to see if the child reacts. Even children who are initially very scared of getting allergy tested find that the shots hurt very little or not at all. Most children actually enjoy the experience once their initial concerns about getting shots are overcome.\nThere are two different ways to do skin testing. One method is to test all the allergens at one time by placing a drop of the allergen under the skin on the arm or the back. With this test, the doctor is looking for the reaction to the allergen on the skin. The skin may turn red or grow a red, irritated skin blister (wheal). The other is to test for one allergen at a time. I prefer the second method. During each 10-minute interval the patient can be monitored for any changes in heart rate, breathing capacity, behavior, concentration and small motor skills, as well as the possibility of a skin reaction. In addition, many children with the symptoms of ADHD have a history of asthma, which can be incited during testing and treated along with the other symptoms.\nBy testing the allergies one at a time, we can observe which allergens are underlying the asthma symptoms and any attention or behavior symptoms. Typical allergic symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes and headaches can also occur. To look for the different possible reactions to each specific antigen is, in my opinion, very important because each child may react differently. If the testing is done all at once, a finding could be missed. If all of the allergens are placed on the skin at one time and a reaction occurs other than a skin reaction, no one would know which allergen was causing which symptom. When the allergens are causing it. When patients know what type of symptoms an allergen causes, they can decide the best form of treatment.\nUNCOVERING LEARNING DIFFICULTIES\nDuring each testing interval, the child is asked to write his/her name and do some concentration work such as reading. One patient, Mike, who was five years old when he was tested, could print his name very well before we started, but as we tested him for apple, there were major changes in his handwriting. His behavior was also changing. (See picture of Mike's writing.) It shows the effect apple has on his handwriting. At the top right of the page you can see Mike's pre-testing signature. What follows is Mike's handwriting samples as they correlate with the testing of different dilutions of the allergen, apple. As you can see, Mike lost control of his ability to write correctly. He began scribbling and writing backwards. Mike's behavior also worsened at the same time. The final dose, a weaker dose of the allergen apple, is the dose that brought Mike's handwriting and his behavior back to normal. Now, Mike's parents know the effect apple has on Mike's behavior and on his ability to write, to concentrate and to learn. Mike's parents can remove apple from his diet or he can take an allergy injection of the dose of the apple allergen that cleared up his handwriting and his behavior symptoms. He can then eat apple without the negative effect.",

        "raw_content": "The Rubicon Staff|September 30, 2018\nEditorial Cartoon: Quinn Christensen\nSchool is not a playground. But fun and learning can coexist in the same building. The opening of the new Hugh K. Schilling Center gave students access to new tools and spaces. Right away, students acclimated to the new facilities and began exploring their possibilities.\nProblems eventually arose because of a lack of direct communication between the administration and students in determining how these new spaces and tools are used. Many expectations involving the Schilling Center were unclear: Can the blinds be closed? Can the doors be closed? What can the SMART Boards be used for? What places are for socializing or studying? Oftentimes the administration expected one thing, and the students expected something different, which resulted in frustration for both parties.\nA prominent example of this disparity is the new abundance of SMART Boards in the Schilling Center. The school chose to spend a significant amount of money on SMART Boards for the common areas, but they are currently being used solely as glorified whiteboards. As it stands right now, the administration\u2019s solution is strict guidelines outlining a very limited use of the SMART Boards. The part of the Student Handbook the administration will point to, in this case, is the \u201cTechnology Acceptable Use Guidelines.\u201d The problem with this policy is not the text itself, but with the implementation and execution of the policies listed. When the administration presumes that students are violating a policy, there is no dialogue, no conversation about what it means to use technology in an engaging and educational way.\nAt the time of writing, the handbook does not include explicit policies for the use of space in the Schilling Center. \u201d\nThe expectations have not been clear and student input has not been considered, and as a result, many students have mixed feelings concerning these SMART Boards. Many of the things students have been doing that does not align with the current policies (e.g. playing video games) results from a lack of clear expectations. There exists a middle ground where students have freedom while respecting the values of the school. The same could be said for the execution of the \u201cCommon Areas\u201d policy in the Student Handbook.\nAt the time of writing, the handbook does not include explicit policies for the use of space in the Schilling Center. It includes policies for other spaces in the school, such as the library, but there is nothing concerning the new common spaces. The balance between social and study spaces has not yet been reached. Quiet places to study were scarce before the arrival of the Schilling Center. However, now there exists ample space for both quiet and social areas. That means that this is the ideal opportunity for students and administrators to work together and find a middle ground they are both content with and confident in.\nIn the past, there was a time for an updated dress code. After that, the need for an updated electronics policy was met. Now, at the point of monumental change to the structure of the building, the time has come for the administration to review the \u201cCommon Areas\u201d and \u201cTechnology Acceptable Use Guidelines.\u201d sections of the handbook taking into account student voice. There are a couple ways to make this happen. USC could hold a forum where students advocate for what they expect from the new spaces. Additionally, the newly founded Student Technology Committee could hold an equivalent discussion to discuss appropriate use of the new SMART Boards.\nThis editorial was originally published in the September 2018 issue of The Rubicon.",

        "raw_content": "Tipe for a Better Spring by Phil Runyon\nTips for a Better Spring\nAs I've mentioned before, I have a unique perspective on these issues that may be of some help to you and your mobile progeny, so feel free to \"forward\" this as appropriate.\nLet's start with driving itself. Your under-18 drivers should know that they can't be at the wheel between 1:00 and 4:00 a.m. no matter how great the party is; that they can't have more than one passenger under 25 who's not a family member; and that they can't have more passengers than the vehicle has seat belts - everyone under 18 actually has to wear the seat belts, too. Then, if they get caught bending any of these rules, or speeding, or texting while driving, or probably doing just about anything else wrong while the vehicle is in motion, they'll not only pay a hefty fine, but if they're not yet 21, they'll also lose their licenses for 20 days the first time around, 45 days the next time, and 90 days or more after that.\nOn to alcohol. The first offense for under-21 possession costs $372, and if your youngsters are driving, they'll be charged even if there's someone over 21 in the car, 'cause the driver's deemed to be in control of everything in the vehicle. The second time around the mandatory fine is at least twice as much; their driver's licenses will likely get yanked for at least 60 days more; and their - so probably your - insurance premiums will balloon dramatically for several years. And if the driver's actually been drinking, you can consult another entry here on our website for what I said about that sobering scenario.\nA corollary here deals with the fake ID purchase of alcohol. If a kid gets caught with one of those - and you'd be surprised how many have them - it's actually more serious than the alcohol itself. Possession of alcohol is a non-criminal violation, but the fake ID puts a criminal conviction on the record that can change the whole complexion of a young person's employment prospects.\nLet's talk about you for a minute. Some parents still think they can make it all better by having the under-age alcohol party at their house and just hanging onto everyone's car keys for the night. The problem is that this practice is now a criminal offense in itself, so don't put a criminal conviction on your own record either.\nAs for drugs, there's just no future on that front at all, at any age, under any circumstances. It's always a criminal charge, no matter what the substance is or how much, so that goes on the record - and the entry level fine is at least $434. Plus, in today's competitive job market, employers usually close the file as soon as they get wind of drugs on an application - even if it's not disclosed, more and more employers are doing background checks before making a decision. I mean, why take a chance on someone who may be irresponsible, unreliable, even dishonest - their words - when they've got so many others to choose from without that baggie, er, baggage?\nFinally, let's assume that they hit \"delete\" and none of this was absorbed into the impervious gray matter of our young folks. So now they're dealing with the cops by the side of the road, or at the party, or in the dorm. No matter what the circumstances, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to be polite and respectful. I know, sometimes the cops themselves make that a tall order, but that's no excuse to ratchet up the temperature of the encounter. The bottom line is that when your young defendants get to court, they'll nearly always be treated more leniently by the prosecutors if the official report makes mention of desirable personality traits, rather describes a nasty experience where a stiff lesson needs to be taught. Needless to say, this is a suggestion we could all take to heart.",

Here\u2019s how a Sacramento pathologist journeyed from a poverty-striken childhood in Nigeria to his new role as a global game changer in the world of science.\nDr. Bennet Omalu perches on the edge of his seat, knees bent, feet planted, arms crooked, poised like a sprinter ready to leap off the blocks.

In person, Omalu quotes Scripture liberally, and can be funny and self-deprecating, not what you\u2019d expect from the crusading firebrand pathologist who first discovered and documented a degenerative disease in the brains of NFL players, and who suffered years of slander and ostracism as a result.\nToday he is prepared to voice uncomfortable truths not just to the NFL, but the mothers and fathers of all those future players. \u201cThe younger you are when you begin to play, the greater the damage,\u201d he says. \u201cIn order to become educated, you need to have the acumen to pay attention, to keep away distractions and focus. Exposure to repeated blows takes away that acumen.\u201d\nHe smacks his fist into his palm rhythmically, illustrating the repetitive blows to the head experienced by professional football players\u2014nearly 70 percent of whom are black, a disproportionately high figure considering African-American males make up only 6 percent of the U.S. population.\n\u201cAs you are growing up, you learn etiquette, behaviors of society, to regulate your violent tendencies. Playing football destroys that capacity of the brain,\u201d he continues. \u201cSo you ask yourself: The high criminality we have among young black men, how much has football contributed to it?\u201d\nYou can hear the room groan and shudder. \u201cIt\u2019s a civil rights question you need to ask yourselves,\u201d Omalu says.",

        "raw_content": "Suicide Prevention in the Northern Cape\nIn South Africa about 10 000 people commit suicide annually and many of these are young people. In addition it is estimated that 20% of children in South Africa suffer from a mental illness due to the high levels of violence and family problems. This situation is being intensified in the Northern cape area due to extreme poverty, unemployment, retrenchments and HIV/Aids.\nIt is for this reason that the South African Depression and Anxiety Support Group recently visited Kimberley, as part of their national rural tour to promote depression awareness and suicide prevention among the youth.\nThis education and empowerment programme sponsored by the Department of Health, targeted youth from different schools, community organisations and youth groups. The objective was to equip the youth with skills to deal with problems in a more constructive way that will lead to them not taking their own lives. The group also helped to improve access to care for teenagers and young adults with behaviour and mental problems.\nThe support group also addressed local community leaders such as teachers, nurses, social workers, police and prison officials, about how to recognise, counsel and assist these individuals. Issues that were addressed include where to get help, how to help peers and colleagues, different forms of crisis intervention, stress management, problem solving and goal setting techniques.\nFinally, programme presenters helped facilitate the formation of support groups to help the survivors of suicide and depression sufferers in this area.",

        "raw_content": "You may have heard the expression: \u201cIf you just ignore your teeth, they will go away.\u201d That may be true \u2014 but by practicing good oral hygiene, more and more people are now able to keep their natural teeth in good condition for their entire life. So we prefer to put a more positive spin on that old saw: \u201cTake care of your teeth and they will take care of you \u2014 always.\u201d What\u2019s the best way to do that? Here are our top five tips:\nBrush and floss every day. You knew this was going to be number one, right? Simply put, tooth decay and gum disease are your teeth\u2019s number one enemies. Effective brushing and flossing can help control both of these diseases. Using a soft-bristle brush with fluoride toothpaste and getting the floss into the spaces between teeth (and a little under the gum line) are the keys to successful at-home tooth cleaning and plaque removal.\nDon\u2019t smoke, or use any form of tobacco. Statistically speaking, smokers are about twice as likely to lose their teeth as non-smokers. And \u201csmokeless\u201d tobacco causes tooth discoloration, gum irritation, an increased risk for cavities, and a higher incidence of oral cancers. Of course, smoking also shortens your life expectancy \u2014 so do yourself a favor, and quit (or better yet, don\u2019t start).\nEat smart for better oral (and general) health. This means avoiding sugary between-meal snacks, staying away from sodas (and so-called \u201cenergy\u201d or \u201csports\u201d drinks), and limiting sweet, sticky candies and other smile-spoiling treats. It also means enjoying a balanced diet that\u2019s rich in foods like whole grains, fruits and vegetables. This type of diet incorporates what\u2019s best for your whole body \u2014 including your teeth.\nWear a mouthguard when playing sports. An active lifestyle has many well-recognized health benefits. But if you enjoy playing basketball, bicycling, skiing or surfing \u2014 or any other sport where the possibility of a blow to the face exists \u2014 then you should consider a custom-fitted mouthguard an essential part of your gear. Research shows that athletes wearing mouthguards are 60 times less likely to suffer tooth damage in an accident than those who aren\u2019t protected \u2014 so why take chances with your teeth?\nSee your dentist regularly. When it comes to keeping your smile sparkling and your mouth healthy, we\u2019re your plaque-fighting partners. We\u2019ll check you for early signs of gum disease or tooth decay \u2014 plus many other potential issues \u2014 and treat any problems we find before they become serious. We\u2019ll also help you develop healthy habits that will give you the best chance of keeping your teeth in good shape for your whole life.\nIf you would like to learn more about keeping your teeth healthy for life, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.

        "title": "Comments on When is Statistical Significance not Significant?",
        "raw_content": "Bras. Political Sci. Rev. vol.8 no.2 S\u00e3o Paulo June/Sept. 2014\nComments on When is Statistical Significance not Significant?*\nGlauco Peres da Silva 1\nFernando Henrique Guarnieri 2\n1Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil\n2Centro de Estudos da Metr\u00f3pole, Brazil\n(FIGUEIREDO FILHO, Dalson. B. et al. When is statistical significance not significant? Brazilian Political Science Review. Vol. 07, N\u00ba 01, 2013)\nAn article titled \u201cWhen is statistical significance not significant?\u201d was published in this journal. The study echoes countless others which have underlined the dangers of wrongly interpreting the p-value (see Gill (2004) for an overview of such studies). The authors\u2019 main goal is to provide a basis for understanding the logic behind tests of significance and their appropriate role in empirical studies within the social sciences. For this, the authors present four recommendations with universalistic intents: 1) to always graphically analyze data before interpreting the p-value; 2) it is pointless to estimate the p-value for non-random samples; 3) the p-value is highly affected by the sample size; and 4) it is pointless to estimate the p-value when dealing with data on population.\nWe believe that these recommendations do not achieve the intended objectives, even when dealing with very simple examples. This is problematic since the authors intend \u201cto help students to make sense of the appropriate role of the p-value statistics in empirical political science research\u201d (p. 32). Given that these suggestions orient the definition of the mathematical relationship among variables, which in turn is a result of theoretical constructs, we intend to show how distant we still are when we follow the suggested steps. Therefore, our motivation is to indicate points unmet by the proposed recommendations. The aim is also to collaborate with the practical use of statistical analysis in political science and thus complementing the discussions raised by the authors. It is worth mentioning that we generally agree with the assessments on the limits of using the p-value, but we intend to open here an opportunity to discuss the recommendations followed from these diagnoses.\nRecommendation: Scholars must always graphically analyze their data before interpreting the p-value\nGraphical analysis is useful and powerful diagnostic tool for linear relationships without the presence of covariates. In this case a scatter graph would show a pattern of relationship between the two variables to help the researcher. This is an exceptional case, however. One could consider any number of situations where graphical analysis would not help the researcher since it depends on the relationship between the considered variables, which in turn depends on theoretical keystones, the importance of covariates in the models, and the functional form used. The authors only briefly mention this aspect by saying that \u201c[the] practical consequence of functional form misspecification in this case is the underestimation of the magnitude of relationship between variables.\u201d (p. 39).\nA familiar example extracted from Taagepera (2012) is quite illustrative of this point: the author calls for other researchers to estimate the non-linear relationship represented by the universal gravitation formula. The result, according to the author, is that an erroneous relation is identified both due to lack of a theory that allows one to find what they seek within the data and because one stemmed from a generally linear relationship between variables. A simulation with this data shows that the graphical evaluation would not be enough to avoid a misguided analysis. That is, reinforcing Taagepera\u2019s argument on which we agree, in order to find the adequate functional relationship, researchers must theoretically know what they aim to find in the data before evaluating the p-value or even carrying out a graphical analysis. This would be secondary to a functional form analysis derived from a theory supporting it.\nRecommendation: It is pointless to estimate the p-value for non-random samples\nThis is simply not true. The p-value, as conceived by Fisher (1925) is a measure for the adjustment of a model or \"null hypothesis\" to our data. Conditional upon the null hypothesis being true, if the observed values discern enough from the expected values we can then reject the hypothesis that the difference between them is due to chance. For example, if a study aims to compare different data sets, the sample size may not be random and the p-value could still be useful to distinguish an interesting characteristic. This is a common situation in political science. A fairly trivial example is to assess whether the deputies who comprise the governing coalition during a certain president\u2019s term are more disciplined than in previous legislatures. The samples considered in this situation are not randomly produced and the p-value is helpful to provide the difference between these groups and the knowledge produced through this research is of interest to the field.\nRecommendation: The p-value is highly affected by the sample size\nThe authors suggest that we can always obtain a significant p-value if we increase our sample size thus indicating a distinction between the power of the test and the significance of the test, something only marginally evaluated by the authors. To support this argument they simulate the power of a significance test with different sample sizes. For large samples the test power is 100%. Does this mean that if you increase your sample size you will get a significant p-value? Not necessarily. The power of the test provides us with the probability of rejecting a null hypothesis when it is false. Should the null hypothesis be false we will certainly reject it from a given sample size. But this does not mean that we will reject it if the null hypothesis is true. Remember, the p-value provides a starting point by which we reject the null hypothesis on the condition that is true. We may continue to obtain non-significant p-values even when our test power is 100%. Evidently, when considering the very mathematical formulation of Student's t test, the larger the sample size, the higher the p-value. But this does not lessen the importance of differentiating the power of the test from its significance, which seems to be a more central issue for empirical studies test.\nAs the authors rightly point out, effects of a small magnitude (from a substantive point of view) may become significant with a larger sample, though they would still continue to be of a small magnitude. This is not because of the power of the test, but due to the fact that a larger sample almost always provides us with more information, similar to observing space with a more powerful telescope: more information is always good. Even in situations where we are unable to increase our sample, we may obtain significant results and powerful tests with small samples. Lastly, effects with significant p-values on large samples are just as significant as significant p-values \u200b\u200bin small samples.\nRecommendation: It is pointless to estimate the p-value when dealing with data on population\nAs scientists we are interested in describing and explaining phenomena. The explanation strives to be as general as it can. This means that every time a theoretically determined mechanism is present under certain circumstances a certain predicted outcome by the theory shall occur. We check our theories against our data. Positively, each new observation gives us a new test to our theory and each time we fail to reject it we have more confidence in its validity. The data obtained by any applied technique are derivations of theoretical constructions upon the empirical world, our concepts. They therefore help us to understand the abstract connections built upon their concrete dimensions. In this sense even when we came across a census it is but one of many instances in which we test our hypothesis. In this sense it stands to reason to think in terms of p-value. Even in the task of merely describing something the p-value makes sense, since even a census may contain flaws, such as measurement error.\nGiven these four recommendations the authors conclude that when a researcher uses significance tests, they must ensure they are working with a large random N sample. What we said above changes this final recommendation. The p-value may be useful even if our sample is not random nor as large as statistics books recommend (for a good example of this as well as examples where the p-value could hinder the researcher see Gelman, 2011).\nIn the conclusion the authors call upon researchers not to confuse a significant p-value effect with a significant theoretical and substantive effect. We most certainly agree with such a recommendation1. We also agree that the lack of statistical significance does not mean a less important finding from a theoretical point of view. The difference between a significant result and a non-significant result is not necessarily in itself significant. The difference between a study with an average of 25 and standard error of 10 (therefore significant to a p-value of 0.01) and another study with an average of 10 and 10 standard errors (not significant) have an average of 15 and an error of 14 and is therefore not significant2.\nBut the solution to these issues is not to analyze the data graphically and to work with large random N samples. Our recommendation is that researchers who wish to avoid the problems of the p-value should always remember that it always gives us the probability that our results are due to the conditional chance that the null hypothesis is true (P(D|Ho)). It is not a test to verify if Ho is true (P(Ho|D)). Once we do not reject the null hypothesis this does not mean that our data was caused by chance or that there is no connection between the variables. Empirical work is closely tied with the theoretical questions behind it and it should be conducted in their light.\nFollowing Gill\u2019s footsteps (1999) we also recommend that instead of merely reporting the p-values, researchers should attempt to flee from the perils of the hypothesis test and further explore their findings to the limit. Limiting an analysis to the level of significance of certain effects is a poor theoretical practice. We can report effects observed by means of techniques such as predicted values\u200b\u200b, expected values\u200b\u200b, first differences (KING et al., 1998) for assessing a theory in terms of the observed results and not only by the presence of a certain effect; we may use simulations to obtain the distribution of a conditional parameter relevant to our data and thereby test counterfactuals (GELMAN and RUBIN, 1995); or we can simply report the confidence interval which expresses our uncertainty as to our estimation and provides us with the same kind of information as the p-value.\nWe hereby believe to have presented consistent arguments for the case that these four given recommendations are also not free of controversy. Perhaps the most general recommendation is that researchers who plan on using statistical analyses techniques should pay attention to the implications behind this methodological relationship in face of the desired theoretical results so that relevant questions may be answered. That is to say, when a scientist wishes to know something, they use a certain set of established procedures. But these should not be merely taken as dogmas. There are limits to them and knowing such limits is vital.\nCINELLI, Carlos L. K.

Remembering that the calculation of the confidence interval at 95% occurs by the following equation: mean\u00b11,96 (SE), where SE is the standard error, and also, in order to find to find the standard error in a difference of means we have \u03c312n1+\u03c322n2 , where \u03c3j2 is the variance in each sample. Since SE= \u03c3n, where \u03c3 is the standard deviation, we have that SE=\u03c32n. Therefore, the difference of means can be rewritten as follows: SE12+SE22 (example taken from Gelman and Stern (2006)).\n(*) http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1981-38212014000100018\nThe R simulation code used in this article can be found in bpsr.org.br/files/arquivos/Banco_Dados_Peres_Guarnieri.rtf.\nTranslated by Paulo Scarpa\nReceived: August 2013; Accepted: April 2014",

        "title": "Prayer Reboot : Short Thoughts",
        "raw_content": "Prayer Reboot\n~ 1 Thessalonians 5:17\nA devotion for prayer meeting.\nThis devotion calls for one of those rare moments of honesty. I know that\u2019s the last thing many expect when coming to church\u2014someone being honest. If we are all going to be honest though, we grow dull in prayer too often. I can\u2019t speak for everyone else, but I can speak for myself and my own experience in times of dull dryness in prayer. Sometimes I let the busyness of life push prayer from the center. Sometimes I\u2019m tired and feel scattered and prayer is not fresh. I find in those times that prayer becomes repetitive and mechanical. I find that prayer becomes general and vague. I also find that prayer at those times becomes much more focused on me and what I need or want.\nSimply put, there are times we need a reboot in our prayer life. We need a refreshing and refocusing in prayer. To help us in that, I want to look at some specific prayers from the Bible. This will not include everything we are commanded to pray for in the Bible, but some key things that will help us to refocus. In order to recover fresh zeal in prayer, we often need to come back to specific prayer needs in our own life and for others around us.\nPray for the salvation of the lost\nIt\u2019s good to begin outside of ourselves and consider the needs of others. Paul gave us a good example of praying for the salvation of the lost.\nHe testified that he had \u201cgreat heaviness and continual sorrow\u201d for his \u201ckinsmen according to the flesh.\u201d i.e. Israel (Romans 9:2-3). He had a great desire and prayed for his fellow Jews that they might be saved. Likewise, we have family who are lost. We have neighbors who are lost. We have co-workers who are lost. Let us repent of our indifference and pray to God that they might be saved.\nWe do not only pray for salvation, but we also give witness of the Gospel to those we pray for. In that regard, we should also be praying for the free course of the Gospel among those we pray for.\nWe should be praying for appropriate boldness in our witness.\nPraying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that i may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,\nWe need the boldness that the Word deserves when it is proclaimed. It may sound contradictory, but we also need to pray for meekness and humility in our witness. We need to speak the truth in love and not become angry or shout at others when we face opposition (1 Peter 2:21-23).\nWe should also be praying for other churches and missionaries in their work of evangelizing. We should not only be concerned about ourselves or our church, but we should have a burden for our fellow laborers and pray for them and rejoice with them when the Lord blesses them.\nNow I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ\u2019s sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; That I may be delivered form them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;\nWe should not be all wrapped up in what we are doing. We should remember others and their labor for the Lord.\nPray for ourselves and our brothers and sisters\nAs we pray for our own needs, we must also remember our brothers and sisters who have the same needs in several areas. We should be praying for an increased knowledge of God and his will.\nWe should pray for the flourishing of hope in our lives.\nWe should pray for unfailing faith and help for our unbelief (Mark 9:24).\nWe should pray for strength to stand.\nWe should pray for fruitfulness in our lives. Fruitfulness glorifies God and should be our desire (John 15:8, 16).\nLastly, we should pray for deliverance from temptation.\nWe are daily engaged in a great warfare against our flesh, sin, and the devil. We must never take it lightly, but pray continually to be delivered (Matthew 26:41).\nPosted by Jeff Short on Friday, July 8, 2016 \u00b7 1 Comment",

        "raw_content": "These past few weeks have been particularly difficult for me. I have felt a heaviness all around me and have been quite crabby! God has been moving mightily in my life and I should be rejoicing all the day long. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I continued to sing His praises and share with everyone the wonders He has been working in this life, but the feeling of joy was not there. I had glimmers of joy and happy about the things taking place but still felt that heavy darkness and could not figure out why.\nSure I have been stressed out while coordinating all things that need to be coordinated when you\u2019re moving, sure I have a hectic schedule that is always full\u2026.but this should not be enough to dampen the happiness I had for the awesome things happening in my life!\nThen it dawned on me, I have been attending a Bible study that is helping me to dive deep into scripture rather than just skimming it. I have been working with God on finding the root of my food issues. I have been writing this blog. I have been talking with a few ladies about spiritual struggles they have been dealing, offering support and perspective. I have been lifting up my anger and need to swear in hopes that God can take them away. I have been allowing Jesus to work through me in more ways than I ever realized.\nSo, this is the source of the heaviness, I have ben opening myself up and asking for healing and depth. This means that God will be stirring up those dark places I have buried deep inside. He is doing the very thing I beg for Him to do regularly. He reaches down into those places that I don\u2019t want to face, the hurt, the pain, the festering wounds I push down deep. He flushes these places with His love and light, He begins the healing process.\nThis can be hard, the old feelings surface and I am thrown out of my comfort zone. It is uncomfortable and exhausting. Especially when I am unsure what is causing the discomfort to begin with. Knowing is half the battle and is helping me to go with the flow. It still hurts, is still difficult and still weighs heavy on me but now I can reach out and ask for help with the process as well. I am able to tell my family where I am and what I am going through and ask for their prayers rather than pushing them away and being miserable in my own little world.\nGrowing and healing old wounds is not always beautiful but the outcome sure is. God is amazing and I can rest in the fact that he loves me and wants me to be healed. He wants the very best for me and my family and this makes the painful process that much easier.\n9 But, as it is written,\n\u201cWhat no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him\u201d\u2014\nJesus is amazing and I love that He loves us all!\nI don\u2019t feel particularly qualified for anything really. This kept me from pursuing particular things in life when I was younger. I never pursued a college education after high school. I was no longer living with my mother by the age of 15 and found that working and supporting myself was more important. While there are times when I wish I completed a \u201chigher education\u201d purely for the fact that there are many positions I would love, and they require a degree. I also know that having a degree does not qualify you in and of itself. I have acquired many positions by proving myself and gaining the experience that makes me a valuable employee. I have always been open and honest. I admit when I stumble and am accountable for my mistakes. I am actually amazed that co-workers find me to be of value at times.\nWhy do I bring this up? Well, I have not felt particularly qualified for God\u2019s work either. I know, I know, God qualifies the unqualified. I have heard this saying many times and have found a sense of comfort in it at times. I have heard it, I have not understood it or felt it.\nEphesians 3:7-10 New English Translation (NET)\n7 I became a servant of this gospel according to the gift of God\u2019s grace that was given to me by the exercise of his power. 8 To me\u2014less than the least of all the saints\u2014this grace was given, to proclaim to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ 9 and to enlighten everyone about God\u2019s secret plan\u2014a secret that has been hidden for ages in God who has created all things. 10 The purpose of this enlightenment is that through the church the multifaceted wisdom of God should now be disclosed to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms.\nLess than least of all the saints, yup THAT I can understand. Who am I that God would give His grace so freely? Who I am that others would find comfort in my words? Who am I that I would think I am qualified to even speak of the great mysteries of this life? There must be people better suited for this I am sure. Go talk to a Pastor or a Priest or someone who has attended seminary at least, they must have better answers! They could at least quote scripture I am sure, or direct you to a verse that will help.\nI am slowly beginning to understand what qualifies me to speak to those God puts in my path. Him. He is the qualifier and I never will be. God uses those that rely on Him completely. How else can I be an instrument, a tool for Him to use if I am not connected to Him? Only when I am able to lay it all down before Him and ask Him to work through me can I be effective in His work. Only when I stop putting myself in the picture and stop looking for the end results can I do what He wants to be done.\nOnly when I stop looking for the recognition and the give Him all the glory, can I be in a place that He can use me.\nIt has been seeping down into my heart how God uses those that you would never think worthy. This excites me! Mary and Joseph became outcasts, Jesus was born into a filthy manger, the shepherds were the scum of society and yet THESE are the circumstances that God choose to use. He did not go to those that \u201cknew it all\u201d. He went to those that were approachable.\nToday I want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and into faith. Thank God that you are not worthy and ask Him to use you to spread His love, compassion and good news. Allow yourself to be empty of self and let Him fill you and flow out of you.\nIn Jesus\u2019 name I pray that we stop trying to qualify ourselves and let our Lord work through us. Take ourselves out of the equation.\nI really to crave to bless the Lord will all my soul and to allow Him to shine through me to those around me. I want to be praying all the day long, asking for guidance and praising Him for all things in my life. I want to always be open to Him and have an unceasing flow of goodness pouring through me. Unfortunately I am human and do not always accomplish these things.\nI love the work I do, professionally speaking, as I am able to work towards a greater good. we offer hope, life and dignity in the end of life stages. We have a team of professionals that come together to ensure that all the patient\u2019s clinical, spiritual, psychosocial and bereavement needs are met. People tend to fear death and we are here when the time has come where you can no longer deny that death will come. I truly love that I am able to be involved in coordinating a plan of care that brings dignity and quality of life for our patients. I really do have an awesome job as the volunteer coordinator, I am able to bring in the added service of offering a person to come in to read, play music, talk about the patient\u2019s favorite things, give some relief to the caregivers, create projects to pass on the patient\u2019s legacy and so much more. So I should be satisfied right?\nI confess that I am never really satisfied. Working in hospice is as close as I can get to being satisfied in my professional life, well the closest I have come! The people who work in hospice are special and I am free to speak with them on a spiritual level. We have a great team here and I am blessed to have each and every one of them in my life. The reality is that I have a craving to do more. I crave to have my work life full of spiritual concerns. I crave to be in a place where I am working to spread Jesus\u2019 love and I totally do this both in my work day and out. I have had the pleasure of discussing issues with a co-worker who was struggling with her faith and the words that came out of my mouth surprised me. I marveled at how Jesus came through and was able to use me in this woman\u2019s life. I have had the pleasure of inviting another woman to my church and she has been partaking in a bible study and that is awesome to see to!\nSo why am I always craving to do more? Is it natural to keep on craving because I have seen and felt Jesus do His work through me? Is it better for me to be in a place where I will come in to contact with a multitude of people so that I can be God\u2019s instrument? I suppose God will let me know!\nI have so much to be thankful for and so many blessings that God has bestowed upon me and my family. The very air I breathe continuously. The comforts He has afforded me. The love He has brought into my empty life. I pray for contentment. I pray that I can be in a place where I feel the joys of the life I have and that the discontent and frustrations be removed. At the same time, I am thankful for the cravings to do more in the sense that I probably would not have gotten involved in things that have touched lives in ways that I am not even aware of.\nSo I end this rambling and circle of thoughts I have here by saying that I am going to continue to thank God for all I have, thank Him for all the opportunities He has provided and to continue to crave to do more without allowing myself to become discontent with the place I am in. Craving to do more, in and of itself is a great thing. This pushes me to look for ways to continue to spread His love and to let people know what being a Christian really is.\n46 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah\n4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. 6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.\n7 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah\nOver the past few weeks I have been thinking quite a bit about how much I have gone through in my short time here on earth. I have experienced quite a lot of darkness, so much so that a few professionals told me that I had experienced more by the age of 15 than most people do in a lifetime. So yes, God has had a lot of baggage to work through with me in this life. These things have caused deep scars and a lot of the wounds were left to fester and would rear their heads on occasion, still do to a degree. Yet, the other day when I looked back at these things I found myself thinking that they really weren\u2019t all that bad. At the time I was experiencing them, they sure were. The time that followed where I used them as an excuse for my actions, they sure were.\nI have come to a point in my walk where they pale in comparison to the peace I feel in my heart. The peace the God has provided in this life gives me perspective. God is my refuge and even though I was not a believer during those dark times, I can look back and see that He was most assuredly by my side in those troubled waters. If He was not there protecting me, then I know for certain that I would not be here with you today to share these thoughts and experiences. Before I found Christ, or should I say before He finally caught my attention, I was not sure what to believe in. I would pray to an unknown force. I knew there was something far greater than I out there and I was always searching to find out what it was. God was faithful and a very present help in these times and I am so grateful for it.\nNow that I have found my Lord and Savior I know that I shall not be moved because He dwells in the very center of this life. Let the nations move, let the storms rage, let this world fall. God IS in the midst of me and I know there are better days coming. I know that I will ascend into heaven with my God and look back to see that all I have gone through was just a blip in time and was nothing compared to the beauty I will experience in His presence.\nNow this doesn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t fret. I absolutely stress, become frustrated and cry out in pain still. I am human and this is part of being in this realm. This only means that regardless of what is going on in this life, I know I can turn to my never-changing God and rest in the fact that He will always be there for me. He will always be there to offer the peace and rest my soul craves. He shows me that despite the horrible things we experience in this life, we are His and He will bring us out of the darkness.\nThis is all temporary.\nRest in His love.\nI find it funny that while I have never had an overly egotistical view of myself, I have always thought of myself as a mostly \u201cgood person\u201d. The older I get and the further along on my walk with the Lord I get, the more I realize that I am not a good person. In reality people are mostly not good. This is the complete opposite of what I thought most of my life.\nI see that my natural inclinations are to judge others, lash out in anger and to think of my own circumstances before others. My natural inclination is to be selfish.\nI have never really had a problem accepting my faults and I am fully aware that I don\u2019t measure up, but lately, God has been convicting my heart in so many areas. I continue to be hard on myself and expect that I should be able to stop doing something whenever I decide to. Then God usually sends me a gentle reminder that when I am done wrestling whatever it is that I have been wrestling, He will be there, waiting patiently for me to lay it all down before Him.\nHe is always reaching out to me, telling me that He can do all things if I would just give them over to Him. Even as I am typing this very blog right now, I look over to my phone that has my daily scripture on it saying \u201cI can do all things through Him who strengthens me\u201d Philippians 4:13.\nWill I ever learn? Will I ever get to the point where I will recognize the filth in me and just bring it before God right then and there? Am I going to continue to try to overcome all things myself? Who am I trying to impress when I do this? God? Myself? Who am I kidding?\nI am not a naturally good person just trying to let the good shine through. I am a naturally selfish and filthy person who basks in God\u2019s grace and begs for Him to change my very core. I plead for Him to take away the insecurities, the judging, the anger, the pain. Only He can do these things. I can\u2019t do these things.\nHave I rambled on enough in this post? I am having one of those days where I am feeling quiet and thoughtful. Pondering all the things that have been coming out of me these days that I hate. I hate them yet they are still part of me. All I can do is continue to pray and ask for change. God will make then changes that are needed in His time and not a moment before. I am also looking back to see all the things He has changed in me over the years and how amazing it is.\nToday I would encourage you all to take a moment to think back to where you were, where you are and where you are heading. Thank God for all He has brought into and out of your life and remember to give Him all that you are and He will never let you down.\nOh hi there blog!\nAre you still here? I seem to have been neglecting you!\nWhat to write about today? I did not have anything particular in mind when I popped in here, just know that it has been a while so I needed to get back in here.\nI can tell you that for the last week I have seen that God is amazing. We all know how amazing He is right? I mean right on down to the materialistic comforts He has provided. He has provided me ways to obtain a vehicle that had every feature I was thinking would be nice and now He has provided a new apartment for us to move into. This also has all the little things we thought would be nice to have. We were patient and waited and He has provided! Even when we thought the deal wasn\u2019t going through and figured we would keep on looking. It happened and I truly know that God was at work here.\nSounds silly doesn\u2019t it? God was worried about the apartment we get or the car we drive? Well it just goes back to the fact that God cares about ALL things and wants us to be in a place where He can shine through us. So, I will be looking for ways we can bless others when we are in the new place. I am sure this will work to His glory in some way, even if I don\u2019t see it happening!\nGod is true, He is faithful and He loves each and every one of us. Eventually, all things work to glorify Him if we can learn to be faithful and patient during the process. Things fall through when we try to take them into our own hands rather than leaving them in His very capable ones.\nHave a Blessed day and a wonderful weekend! Remember that God is all around us, always.\nNever be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset. \u2013 Saint Francis de Sales\nAs Spring approaches we can become restless while waiting for the warmer days to come. It can be difficult to be in the present at times. Quite frankly, I think it is more difficult to be in the present moment most of the time! Today I would like to challenge you to slow down, despite all the chaos that surrounds you, and be present.\nIt is possible to accomplish all that needs to be accomplished today. You will complete the tasks at hand. Allow the Spirit within you to keep you grounded in peace and to shine through you as you go about your day. Remember to give thanks and to let the stress run through you rather than gripping onto it. Let it go, lay it down and continue on.\nIt is not an easy process and will not happen overnight, but I encourage you to continue. If you practice this each day, then little by little you will begin to see how natural it becomes.\nGod never ceases to amaze me\nThis morning I was trying to get my the next couple of verses in Ephesians but was unsuccessful. I tried a couple different bible sites that I use so that I could copy and paste, but the computer was not cooperating. I tried to type it up manually, again the computer was not cooperating. What the heck! I am pretty savvy and computers tend to work for me, what is going on? I decided it was time to take a break and go out to my car to grab something. On my way back I walked past a woman smoking on the side of the building and I was thinking how funny it is that I once was that person huddled on the side of a building in the cold, just to smoke a cigarette that was harming me.\nThis is when it hit me! Today I need to write about how amazing God is. I need to let you all know some of the amazing things I have been able to over come by relying on Jesus. Obviously smoking is one vice that I have overcome \ud83d\ude42 I started smoking when I was young, too young, and quit successfully for a number of years before I started up again. I struggled to quite this last time. The nicotine had a string grip on this heart. Finding out I was pregnant was the reason I was finally able to quit. After having the baby, I was tempted to start again but prayed for Jesus to please take the addiction away. He did! I do not have the slightest urge to smoke again. This shows me that it was God that did the work\u2026even when I successfully quit myself before, I always had that slight urge lingering around. Not any more!\nAnother mighty work I would like to tell you about is the work He has done in me in regards to a deep-rooted issue. To make a long story short let me tell you that my father was there when I was quite young but I stopped having contact with him when I was around 5 years old or so. I have memories of visiting him and his wife, playing games, going to fairs, things of this nature. They were all good memories. As I got older and my relationship with my mother deteriorated, I chose to seek out my father. I looked him up and called him to tell him I wanted to live with him. Well, I never did go live with him but over the span of my lifetime I reached out in different ways\u2026and I admit that some of those letters and phone calls were full of anger, desperation and sometimes a drunken ramble\u2026sigh\u2026I am not proud of the some of the ways I chose to approach him. I came from a place of pain, I blamed him for all the horrible things I had to face. If only he was a good enough father to step up and be there! Rescue me from the life I was leading! How could you leave me with my mother knowing how she was?? The worst part was that his wife didn\u2019t want me anywhere near her family, they had 3 children of their own and none of them were to know I existed. So they got the father I never had, they had the security of his love and I was the child thrown away. My father even told me once that it was too hard to talk to me because I look and sound so much like my mother. HE chose to have a child with her and I have to suffer because I look and sound like her??\nThese are the things I have struggled with all my life. Moments of anger, anxiety, desperation and heartbreak plague my past. On occasion I would come face to face with him and his \u201chappy little family\u201d and would have severe anxiety attacks or I would just avoid whichever event it was because I couldn\u2019t handle the anticipatory stress over it. Then yesterday, while I was at my cousin\u2019s baby shower, BAM, my father is in the back of the room. Instantly my chest tightened as I saw him bringing my grandmother, aunt and his wife into the room. Now, why it never even crossed my mind that they would be there, I have no clue. On top of this, I ended up sitting next to his wife at the table. I had to sit next to the woman I blamed for keeping me from my father all these years. At first I thought about moving, but I never ever see my Grandma Mary and I have to admit that a little part of me was thinking that there was no way I was changing my seat for her! \ud83d\ude42\nNow I have been praying for years for God to heal the part of me that still craves a relationship with my father, to take away the pain and desperation I feel so often and well I am here today to tell you that He has! Sure, there was a sense of akwardness during those 4 hours sitting there, but there was also a sense of peace with me. God came by my side and there was no animosity. I cannot tell you how she felt about it, but we were able to have small talk with the entire table, she even filled my coffee cup rather than filling everyone else\u2019s and not mine lol. All in all it was not as bad as it could have been if I didn\u2019t have the Holy Spirit working within me. The old Melissa would have definitely moved and probably would have tried to drink the stress away. Not this Melissa, she has the all mighty God by her side!\nI was emotionally drained and totally did all I could to avoid my father when he dropped the ladies off and again when he picked them up. However, I did not allow it to disturb the peace I have within me, the peace that Jesus brings. I chose to give it up to God and to ask Him to get me through it and He did! This was a HUGE chain that He broke. I feel so free in this. Amazed that He did this work in me and I wasn\u2019t even aware of it. This is not to say that I am not still effected by this at all, but not anywhere near as much as I have been in the past. I mean I cannot express to you just how huge this is!\nI have always envisioned a deep well of pain and anger in the very core of my being. I have tried visualization excercise where I would try to fill this void but everything I tried stuffing in there would just get sucked right in. Only when I have learned to lay it all down and to turn to Jesus and just ask for healing did this void begin to close. God has filled this hole with His Holy spirit and has brought healing to those places I never thought could be healed.\nGod is amazing and I will never cease to be amazed by Him. I have a long way to go and many more places for Him to heal, but this little experience has truly blown my mind.\nLet me start off by telling you that I have a friend who is a fantastic writer and she has a blog as well. She has been studying the book of James and blogging about it. I have never been tempted to blog in that fashion\u2026..until last night. God has laid it on my heart to get into the book of Ephesians\u2026he laid it on my heart quite some time ago really and I have been slow on the uptake. This is my relationship with God. He tells me to go and I say ok, that sounds great, I will do that\u2026..later.\nWhy wait until later?? When has God ever pointed me in the wrong direction?? Never! So, here I am. I am diving into the book of Ephesians and I am going to bring you all along with me! Now, as always, I am not promising anything spectacular here\u2026just me, opening up and offering some insight to my walk with Jesus. Choosing to be an open book and vulnerable in hopes that it will help others along the way. Hoping it will help us all be a little more open with those around us, to be willing to let each other in, to speak of our struggles as well as our triumphs!\nSo, on to the book of Ephesians!\nEphesians 1: 1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:\n2Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.\n3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:\nWouldn\u2019t it be wonderful if we all greeted one another in this manner? Maybe wished the grace and peace for each other in this manner each time we were saying hello? I pray that one day I will be able to shake someone\u2019s hand and feel it deep in my heart as I wish them grace and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that I feel this for every human being I come into contact with. Quite a feat for me as I tend to get lost in self often. I am easily distracted by my own little world and have to make an effort to wish these things for those around me on a regular basis. So, I will continue to look to God for this transformation as only He can help me be a little bit more like Him.",

        "raw_content": "President Kiir and Dr. Machar 2nd Presidency: A Return to Business as Usual\nFeb. 19 Featured, Most Popular, Uncategorized 3 comments\nBy Tong Kot Kuocnin, LLB, LLM, Advocate, FEB/19/2016, SSN;\nAfter eight years of president Kiir\u2019s and Dr. Machar\u2019s presidency, an unexpected political storm swept through the government of the Republic of South Sudan in July 2013 causing flu to the untouchable oligarchs who have controlled virtually everything from cleaners to the Ministers.\nThis political storm caused the political honeymoon that had existed for the last eight years between president Kiir and Dr. Machar to cease.\nWith the peace agreement signed by the parties to the conflict, Dr. Machar made his way back to the presidency for the second time since his dismissal in July 2013 which caused the nation to slip back to war in December same year.\nNow, with president Kiir and Dr. Machar back to the same room with all their old wolves-in-sheepskin where their political honeymoon ended, what business are they going to carry out?\nIs the yesterday\u2019s devil that became an angel in the dawn, having cleansed themselves through peace agreement, has all it takes to fight rising cases of corruption in the government, implement all reforms, and break the yoke of nepotism and tribalism which has infiltrated the system?\nThe answer is both negative and affirmative. Negative in sense that the group that is coming back as Angel Gabriel was part and parcel of the old house which had housed all corrupt officials for the last eight years.\nThey were the lead architects in all acts leading to corruption, nepotism and tribalism of the highest order. It was because they were chased out of the house of corruption, nepotism and tribalism that they caused havoc and turmoil so that they can come back to the same house which they managed to get.\nThey are not angels as the few imprudent thought to them be. They are accomplices in all that had befallen on South Sudan.\nAffirmative in the sense that the group will fight harder and harder to make sure that in order to cleanse themselves of all dirt, they must minimize corruption, nepotism and tribalism.\nFor them having a clean political card in 2018 isn\u2019t easy and must begin with swearing in of their representatives. I know it not easy to eradicate corruption for they themselves would first quench their thirsty as the heat of the last 21 months has not been easy and has to be replaced.\nIf the opposition is realistic with the people of South Sudan but not wolves in sheep\u2019s skin, they must begin to do away with nepotism this time because the last eight years Dr. Machar spent as VP were marred by a lot of nepotism and tribalised settings as manifested by the set up of his last office as VP when you hear no any other language in his office but Thok Nath (Nuer language).\nWhere many who had visited his office those times felt as if they were in one of the sultan\u2019s of Nath office not VP\u2019s office. This is nepotism and tribalism of the highest order.\nThat office represents and symbolizes the nation not tribes and whoever is seated in it is a symbol of the nation not a tribal leader.\nThe same to the office of the president, South Sudanese must see themselves there not only the two tribes (Dinka and Nuer).\nHowever, with return of Dr. Machar as 1st VP and the widest gap of the social cohesion which has been created by the conflict coupled with political hatred between the president and his 1st deputy, not much is expected to be done as both of them will or might not listen to one another and either side will work for the disgrace and downfall of the other.\nIf the two parties are bogged down and always at political loggerhead, corruption will take its toll and a return to war on the widest scale would be an inevitable option for the defeated group.\nThis government will deliver nothing, nothing at all because what they have all failed to do in eight years can\u2019t be done in 30 months.\nIt is just a return to business as usual because the parties will just sit indignantly as they did in the last eight years and divide the resources of the nation together and if these resources are equitably divided amongst themselves then fine, no war.\nBut if one party took more than the other, war surely will ensue.\nThis is just a break to continue the war but the worse will surface again in 2018 for nobody, no any party especially the warring parties that have just signed peace will not accept the outcome of the elections especially if the results point to defeat of either party.\nThis is just a containment of war for a while but let\u2019s wait for 2018 for Dr. Riek will continuously cheat innocent Nuers to fight on his behalf on the pretext that the Dinka have killed, marginalized, and oppressed Nuer people whom he claims to rightfully inherit power as prophesied by Ngundeng.\nThis is the tactic he employed to mobilize his mass support from the Nuer community since 1991 and he did the same in 2013, both of which he succeeded to cling to power at their expense.\nThe ball is at the court of the opposition to tell South Sudanese that indeed they were part of the government that has squandered and looted billions of money for themselves and their immediate families and that they want to pay back the people of South Sudan through maintenance of peace, stability, human rights protection, good governance and strict adherence to the rule of law not of man anymore.\nBut otherwise, president Kiir and Dr. Machar 2nd presidency is a return to business as usual where looting of public resources on an unprecedented scale will be the order of the day. Wish you success in all your endeavours Mr. Opposition.\nTong Kot is a Master of Laws (LLM) Candidate at the School of Law, University of Nairobi. He specializes in Law, Governance and Democracy. He can be reached via: tongbullen@gmail.com\nBrother what you said is true but will his supporters see\nthis reality. Riack has brought more suffering to Nuer people. If the security reform which he has been talking of is implemented what will the Nuers do because they used to be the biggest employees in the army. He is waiting for though times ahead. For now his supporters are still blind but the reality will show itself. He has started the nepotism already by appointment of his own wife as a defence minister in the opposition army. What happened to the commanders of the white army. This man can not and will not end corruption. Gadet said that China gave the movement money, the man pocketed everything brothers. The day when the promises he gave his supporters failed to materialise, he will face the disco. The blinded supporters thought that as soon Riack step to Juba and take office Troika will pour their money to S. Sudan. This business of expectations of the others to do things for us will bury all of us. Soon his supporters will feel it when they will be told there is no place for employment.\nDr. Riek didn\u2019t used or told Nuer to fight this war, but Nuer retaliated because their relatives were massacred in Juba by killer NyanKiir. Plus, Dr. Riek\u2019s office staffs were more diverse\u2013representatives of almost all the tribes in South Sudan\u2014-when he was a commendable VP compares to killer NyanKiir\u2019s. Unless, you\u2019re totally ignorant of Dr. Riek\u2019s staffs composition, you would not have had publicly published this crap\u2013embarrassing article!\nAs per killer NyanKiir, he is indisputably a career serial-mass killer who is undeniably destined to hell period\nIf I were asked to make a choice between the two, II would still prefer President Salva Kiir Mayardit from Dr. Riak Machar Teny just for simple reason that the later has done more damage to South Sudan than the former. Remembering his greed for power and the mess has done in 1991, 2002 and 2013 just to crab power. He messed with John Garang, ran to the Arabs and signed the so called Khartoum peace agreement with the hope to crush the movement, and finding it impossible he rushed back to the bush and pleaded for forgiveness. By all standards you can not compare this Judas with Joshua who liberated South Sudan.",

        "raw_content": "This beautiful new photograph from one of the European Southern Observatory\u2019s powerful telescopes in the Chilean desert shows a pair of galaxies slowly dancing around each other in space.\nLike many things in nature, the large, glowing galaxy in the picture is beautiful, but dangerous. In fact, some scientists are referring to it as a \u2018galactic bully\u2019.\nWhen galaxies come close enough together, like these two, we call them \u2018interacting galaxies\u2019. They aren\u2019t interacting the way you interact with your friends \u2013 the strong pull of each galaxy\u2019s gravity is pulling at the other galaxy.\nBut this isn\u2019t a fair tug-of-war. As you can see, one galaxy is much more massive than the other. This means it has stronger gravity, and eventually it will end this friendly game by devouring the smaller galaxy!\nThe galaxy dominating this picture is called NGC 1316, and there are several clues that this won\u2019t be the first time it has devoured another galaxy. For instance, it has some unusual lanes of cosmic dust crisscrossing near its centre and some clumps of unusually small star clusters. These suggest that it may have swallowed a different spiral galaxy about three billion years ago!\nAs a bonus, this new picture also provides a window into the distant Universe, far beyond the interacting galaxies. Most of the faint fuzzy spots in the picture are very, very distant galaxies.",

        "raw_content": "Secure Your Own Mask\nThe Women in Housing series is a month-long project featuring the voices, stories, and experiences of women who currently or formerly work in housing and residence life. Today's post was written by Amanda Koch.\nAs I reflect on what it means to be a woman in Student Affairs. I think of the many hats we as women wear -- being a daughter, partner, or even a mother. Maybe it\u2019s in our genes, but I always found myself putting others ahead of myself. I was always willing to put in extra hours at work, often at the expense of someone close to me. I always thought that the other person was my husband, but I just came to realize that the person that I was cutting time out of was me.\nRecently, I found the thing that helps me find my balance and gets me just a little bit more Me Time. As odd as it sounds, I actually put myself through pain five times a week, attending a grueling 30 minutes of boot camp at a local gym.\nI have been attending boot camps since May. Because the boot camps were at a scheduled time each evening, I found myself making sure I left work at a certain time on those designated nights. At first, I found myself feeling guilty for leaving the office when I still had work to accomplish. My supervisor was understanding when I made sure to leave at a reasonable hour during one of the busiest times of the year, but I still managed to make myself feel guilty every single time. Eventually, I discovered that I didn\u2019t need to have everything done that was in my inbox each day.\nAs the school year started, boot camps were offered most week night evenings and two mornings a week. I loved the concept of being able to get my work out in before being distracted by the work day, but it also meant coming into work 30 minutes later than my normal time.\nOver time, I became more okay with coming in late just twice a week and leaving the office with a few projects lingering on the other days. I eventually learned that just because a project is there to be accomplished, it doesn\u2019t always mean that it needs to happen that very moment.\nSince the start of the New Year, boot camps are now offered each morning, which now means my morning routine four times a week is to come in late. While this may put me a bit behind on my projects, I learned that my improved physical health has allowed me to better assist our students.\nI have found that I\u2019m generally healthier. I am not a person that gets sick often, but while sickness has struck our office, I have managed to stay fairly healthy. My stress level has decreased, and I\u2019m better to assist our students, and be available for myself, my friends, my family, and my husband.\nIt is like when you\u2019re on an airplane and the flight attendant tells you to secure your oxygen mask before assisting others. It is only when you take care of yourself first, and make yourself a priority, that you can offer the best of yourself to others.\nAmanda Koch is the assistant director of residential life at Valparaiso University.

        "raw_content": "Stem Cell Therapy For Migraine Headaches\nSince the existence of this planet, the human race has been struggling to reside a better and healthier life. There have been diseases which were fatal and also have caused epidemic in the world all around. Due to these diseases hundreds and thousands of people possess died in a few days. Today treatments are around for such diseases. There are vaccines which help people in preventing these types of diseases. But it does not mean that deadly diseases are not there anymore. Those diseases which were in past happen to be replaced by new diseases. Medical scientists are struggling for the more healthy life of people. Recently a new phrase known as stem cell therapy provides entered the world of medical science. With the help of this therapy people are right now able to cure many of the fatal plus chronic diseases. Some of these problems are as follows: cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases, lung surgery, dental surgical procedure, Parkinson\u2019s, spinal cord injuries, permanent treatment for the diabetes, hepatitis, baldness, malignancy, anti aging, depression, autism, arthritis, retinitis etc . Stem cell therapy with regard to migraine headaches has also been successful in treating this particular disease.\nLet us see how this particular therapy works for the cure of the disease. Stem cells are inserted in the body of the patient. Stem tissue are basically immature cells that are extracted from the placenta of the entire body of a woman. These cells possess special characteristics like they can be differentiated into many different types of cells from the body. These cells multiply with no restriction and have the ability of personal renewal etc . Hence one these types of cells reach their targeted body organ or part of the body, these tissues start secreting some particular elements known as growth factors. These elements take assistance from the blood vessels plus produce new blood cells. These newly produced blood cells change all the damaged and old tissues causing diseases in the body of the individual. These cells keep on multiplying till and unless their requirement is usually reached. In this way the particular individual gets rid of his chronic disease with no kind of painful procedure or surgical procedure. Hence these days stem cell treatment for migraine headaches is considered to be useful in curing this disease that individuals. This type of treatment is less expensive than other entire treatments readily available for the migraine headaches.\nThe most skilled physician in this field is Dr. Gonzalez living in Mexico. He has been around this occupation for the last twenty years. His success rate is enormous. He is usually bilingual in speaking English plus Spanish fluently. As it is identified that this therapy is not very much frequent in every parts of the world on equal foundation, one has to arrange a medical visit to the countries where this treatment can be obtained. Mexico is the best choice among all of the countries. It is because visiting Mexico costs only $19, 000 since it costs $53, 000 to visit America for the same treatment and the US therapy does not include Placenta stem tissues. In short we can say that nowadays stem cell therapy is very much efficient for the treatment of migraine headaches and other persistent diseases.\nPrevious PostPrevious Stem Cell Transplants May Induce Long-Term Remission Of Multiple Sclerosis\nNext PostNext Specialists & Treatments For Childhood Cancer (Pediatric Oncology)",

Participate in the entire service or simply sit and observe. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive communion, but stay in your pew if you don't feel comfortable coming to the altar rail. No one will stare.\nDon't be surprised, however, if someone offers to sit with you on your first visit, particularly if you've never been to an Episcopal Church. We know that following the liturgy can be a little daunting the first time!\nWe hope you will discover a welcoming, loving faith community where you feel God's presence as we worship together and are committed to following Jesus more faithfully.\nThe church doors face 29th Street, and the parking lot is directly to the east (right) of the building.\nFr.

Earlier in the trial, he had dismissed his attorney, Jeremy Schwartz, who by trial's end was acting as his legal adviser.\nAccording to prosecutors, Aasiya Hassan had filed for divorce less than a week before she died.\nOn the day she died, she agreed to take some of her husband's clothes to his office after he had moved out of their home. He had told her he would not be there, prosecutors said.\n\"The defendant viciously killed ... and desecrated her (Aasiya's) body because six days earlier she had dared to file for divorce. Dared to seek a better life for herself and the children,\" Assistant District Attorney Paul Bonanno said in the prosecution's opening statement.\nSchwartz, then his client's defense lawyer, said in his opening statement that the couple's marriage was a \"sad and unhealthy relationship.\"\nAasiya Hassan threatened to embarrass his client and take away his children, Schwartz said.\n\"It ended with 'Mo' Hassan in fear of his very life,\" he told jurors. \"Mo Hassan killed his wife, but he is not guilty of murder in the second degree.\"\nDuring the trial, Michael and Sonia Hassan testified that their father had become violent in the past, CNN affiliate WIVB in Buffalo reported.\nWhile both said the couple argued, neither recalled a case in which Aasiya -- their stepmother -- instigated a fight.\nPolice earlier said they had responded to several domestic violence calls at the couple's home, but no one had ever been arrested.\nHassan was the chief executive officer of the network Bridges TV, and Aasiya Hassan was the general manager.\nHe launched network -- billed as the first English-language cable channel targeting Muslims inside the United States -- in 2004. At the time, Hassan said he hoped the network would balance negative portrayals of Muslims following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.\nHassan fired three defense attorneys before the trial. Schwartz was the fourth to be dismissed.",

        "raw_content": "It seems like God only wants the perfect and the unblemished to serve him as priest according to this Scripture in Leviticus. I am perfectly comfortable in pastor\u2019s being held to a higher standard. If we are going to be standing in front of people and giving them recommendations on how to live and if we are going to interpret Scripture and give what is our understanding of God\u2019s word for that time and place, then we should be held to the standard, and probably even above that one, that we profess. I have no problem with that. I say this not because I am confident that I will live up to expectations, I know I will fall short, but simply because that is what leaders need to do. They need to be held to higher standards.\nWhat we must be aware of is when you hold people to higher standards then the temptation is to think that this person is better, or for our case as Protestants, that this person has a closer walk with Jesus. That is not our understanding. In our thinking where we uplift the priesthood of all believers, we say with confidence that every single person is called to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and no one calling is higher or more important than another. As a pastor I do not have a more important role to serve than the teacher in the public school. You can carry that out as far as you would like.\nSo this chapter deals with the physical requirements for a priest of the people of Israel and who he is allowed to marry or not marry.

        "raw_content": "Reflections - August 2, 2015\n\u201cI am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.\u201d Jn. 6:35.\nThroughout these four Sundays the Church presents us with the teachings of Jesus, the Bread of Life, in the Gospel of John.\nI would like to reflect on this point. What does it mean to believe in Jesus, the Bread of Life?\nLast week Jesus presented himself as \u201cthe living Bread from heaven\u201d in the Gospel. But the people did not understand the sign because Jesus was inviting them to \u201cdisconnect\u201d with what they believed to be \u201cimportant\u201d in their lives.\nWe constantly have to make choices that defy our faith in Jesus, \u201cthe Bread of Life\u201d. This idea comes to mind: We are all hungry. Some of us are hungry for prestige, others for power, money, and health. There are those whose only daily visit are to the doctor and know all the drugs available with or without prescription. It is not bad to take care of your health just like it is not bad to have money, but brothers and sisters \u201cthe emptiness of God can only be filled by Christ, the Bread of Life\u201d.\nOthers with a fundamentalist mentality of the Old Testament say that this is a \u201csign or symbol of the love that God has for us\u201d, but, attention, there is a spiritual hunger and thirst that goes beyond prestige, power, money, or health. We need to renew ourselves and disconnect from our former self of sin. \u201cChrist has taught that you should put away the old self of your former way of life\u2026..and be renewed in the spirit of your minds\u201d. Eph 4:22-23.\nThe Lord\u2019s invitation is to be converted. The greater the conversion and the more faith in Christ, the Bread of Life\u201d, and the greater the commitment with Him and the greater the disconnection with those \u201cthings\u201d that we invent we need and that destroy and cool our life of faith.\nThis week when you receive Holy Communion at Mass reflect on this: Jesus wants to fill your spiritual hunger and I ask you: Do you worry about filling the spiritual hunger and thirst of children and adults who do not know God? Or do you remain, as Pope Francis says \u201cbalconied\u201d (watching) and asking the Lord: \u201cWhat can we do to accomplish the works of God?\u201d Jesus\u2019 response is: \u201cThat you believe in the one he sent\u201d, Jn. 6:28-29, the Bread of Life.\n\u2190 Reflections - August 9, 2015Reflections - July 26, 2015 \u2192",

The trademark non sequiturs lend the show its frenetic pace, cranking up the jokes-to-story quotient while providing some of the most offensive content. Typically, the show is a hot mess with jokes as subtle as frying pan to the side of the head seemingly coming out of nowhere in all directions. The February 12th episode was no exception. The main plot and the sub-plot weren\u2019t the real culprits, though. The frequent throw-away one-liners, the desultory sexual detours, and the random raunchy retorts have earned Family Guy the title of Worst TV Show of the Week.\nThe primary storyline revolves around Peter becoming the talent agent for local TV anchorman, Tom Tucker, in an attempt to resurrect his long-abandoned acting career. But Peter gets sidetracked when mercurial actor, James Woods, asks Peter to be his agent. Peter, however, can\u2019t believe James Woods is even alive since he was supposedly killed during the Season 9 premiere.\nPeter: I don\u2019t understand it. I thought you were dead.\nJames Woods: Well, I\u2019m not.\nPeter: I don\u2019t believe you. God, is that true?\nGod in Heaven, reclining in a La-Z-Boy while listening to his iPod. His hand slowly drifts towards his crotch, but stops.\nGod: Come on, don\u2019t touch yourself. You\u2019re God.\nLater, James calls Peter on his cell phone in the middle of the night for some non-acting advice.\nJames Woods: Peter, it's me, Woodsy. I need a favor...So listen, I'm at Chateau Marmont, I just met this 18 year old chick and I can't decide whether to take her home, or keep doing blow with Tom Sizemore and see if I can do better later in the night.\nPeter: Well, okay. Umm, do you love her?\nJames Woods: What? Look, I'm texting you her picture. Just tell me if you think she's hot enough.\nPeter: What is this a picture of? Is that the bottom of a white pumpkin?\nJames Woods: Is she hot or not.\nPeter: I, I guess.\nJames Woods: Okay, good, great. So clear out of your apartment; we're gonna be there in 15.\nPeter: What? I\u2019m sleeping. Why can\u2019t you bring her to your place?\nJames Woods: I don\u2019t know, man. It\u2019s my aunt\u2019s daughter. It\u2019s weird.\nBy the end of the episode, we find out exactly what picture James texted to Peter, who asks Tom to help him decipher it.\nTom: What is that? A balloon running out of air?\nPeter: See, I was hoping you would know. [snaps his finger] It's his cousin's anus.\nMeanwhile, Chris begins to date a girl at school who looks remarkably like his own mother, Lois. The writers obviously took great delight in exploiting the following Freudian reference:\nStewie: Looks like somebody's getting a little Oedipus-y.\nBrian: Can we say that?\nStewie: Just did.\nGod masturbating, sex with an 18-year-old cousin, and a lurid pun \u2013 sadly, that\u2019s pretty much par for the course with this show. There were plenty more examples from this one episode alone, but why belabor the point? Suffice it to say, Family Guy operates like a cheap buffet\u2026quantity over quality. Consume at your own risk because most of it is rank and tasteless.\nFor non-stop sexual content, Family Guy has been named Worst TV Show of the Week.\nfamily, fox, guy, week, worst",

        "raw_content": "Hike into History\nPalo Duro Canyon's Lighthouse rock formation\nWhile working up a sweat during the scorching descent into Palo Duro Canyon along the steep CCC Trail, it\u2019s not hard to imagine Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) crews toiling away in the sun. Evidence of their labor abounds\u2014from the trail itself to stone bridges and culverts along the route. Hikers can almost picture these hardworking men finding inspiration in the sweeping views and taking comfort in the knowledge that future generations would benefit from their efforts.\nThese individuals ended up in the nation\u2019s second-largest canyon (about 120 miles long and 800 feet deep) as a result of New Deal policies during the Great Depression. In 1933, the state purchased land that would become the roughly 28,000-acre Palo Duro Canyon State Park. That same year, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the CCC jobs program, and several companies comprised of World War I veterans, African Americans, and young men were dispatched to the new park.\nThey remained until 1937, creating the infrastructure and many buildings that endure today, including the winding eight-mile road from canyon rim to floor, El Coronado Lodge (now the visitors center), cabins, trails, and picnic and camping areas. The Texas Historical Commission honors the CCC with a marker outside the visitors center, and an exhibit inside includes CCC photographs and artifacts. Heritage travelers can experience part of this legacy by renting one of several stone cabins on the canyon rim and floor.\nHiking inside the canyon, on routes such as the popular Lighthouse Trail, provides time for reflection upon its natural beauty and storied past. Humans have lived in the canyon for about 12,000 years, with evidence from several American Indian tribes including bedrock mortar holes and rock art. First documented in 1542 by the Coronado expedition, the canyon was named Palo Duro (hard wood) for the area\u2019s juniper and mesquite trees.\nIn the 18th and 19th centuries, Hispanic traders known as Comancheros came to the canyon to exchange goods with Comanche Indians. Later, the canyon played a role in the Red River War, the series of clashes in the Southern Plains between the U.S. Army and American Indians. On September 28, 1874, the Battle of Palo Duro Canyon was a decisive victory for the Army, driving the Comanches and allied tribes back to the reservation in Indian Territory (now Oklahoma).\nIn 1877, legendary cattleman Charles Goodnight founded the JA Ranch in the canyon, which he grew to more than 1.3 million acres and over 100,000 head of cattle. Decades of settlement, ranching, agriculture, and oil development ensued in the Panhandle prior to the creation of the state park.\nOther historical attractions are in nearby Canyon, a Texas Main Street city. At the center of the beautiful town square is the 1908 Randall County Courthouse, which received an exterior restoration in 2010 as part of the THC\u2019s Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program. Housed in an impressive and enormous 1930s Art Deco building, the nearby Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum features many exhibits on regional history, art, geology, paleontology, and other subjects. Outside the city center is a Canyon icon: the 47-foot, seven-ton cowboy statue known as Tex Randall. A THC historical marker notes that this uniquely Texan roadside attraction was built in 1959 to welcome travelers to a curio shop on U.S. 60. It was recently restored for a project led by the Canyon Main Street Program.\nEl Coronado Lodge (now the park's visitors center) was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps.",

        "raw_content": "Homeless! Just the mere sound of the word, sends shivers up my spine. Statistics say that approximately 100, 000 New Yorkers experience street homelessness each year and that the City shelter system accommodates at least 38,000 of these homeless individuals on a daily basis, among which are included 16,000 children .The soup kitchens and food pantries that are made available throughout the city of New York, cannot satisfy the overwhelming demand of hungry men, women and children who desperately pour into their facilities to be fed. Unfortunately, those who are not of the lucky ones, are turned away to find nourishment elsewhere. This ongoing problem not only exists in New York City, it is now becoming a national crisis.\nA Brief Overview of Street Homelessness During the 1800s Into Early 1900s\nDuring the 1800s, homelessness was always present. The innocent victims that were most affected were the abandoned children by the thousands living on the streets of New York.\nWhat poverty, misery, bitter circumstances or vice would hurl these innocent children into the streets, to grow up among the thieves and outcasts of Metropolitan society, to end up as beggars, hardened criminals and prostitutes? What can be expected from the future of such children exposed to vulgar jests and foul swearing of the outcasts who surround them? The school of the streets is not the best place to nurture pliable minds. Wherever these abandoned children came from, or for whatever reason they may have gotten here, they are here, living the life of a vagrant. No one cares for them. And they care for no one. Some live by begging and thievery, while others may support themselves honestly. The street life has made them tough, yet deep under that tough facade, there is a lonely frightened child silently shedding tears, longing for a mother's affection and maternal care. They have become old before their time and shrewd in their vice. They sleep on steps, in cellars or wherever they could lay their weary head down. Home! the abandoned child's yearning. Even to the poorest of these children, whether it is a single crowded room, reeking with unhealthy smells, living in filthy unsanitary conditions, or dark smelly cellars, it was still home to them, a safe haven, and a shelter in the storm...\nThere were many factors that contributed to the homelessness of these children. One of the leading causes was due to overpopulation. The multitudes of poor immigrants who came to New York City during the mid 1800s into the early 1900s usually lived in the tenement district amid crime, filth and disease. The tenement houses in the lower part of Manhattan and other areas were overcrowded, lacking drainage and sufficient ventilation. Immigrants had to live in damp smelly cellars or attics, or up to six or 10 people, men, woman and children packed into a crowded single room. Many immigrants themselves would convert their apartments into sweatshops, where amid the unsanitary conditions they would manufacture garments, flowers and cigars. Everyone had to do their share, even the children, who worked long hours. Eventually, unable to continue supporting them, these children were forced by their parents into the streets to earn their own livelihood, leaving them abandoned to\" fend for themselves by whatever means necessary.\"\nAmongst these street wanderers and homeless persons was some of a much better class. Persons who were once bankers, stock brokers and wealthy merchants, had suffered staggering losses during the financial crashes that affected our nation leaving them completely penniless. Much of their failure was attributed to stock speculations, business deals gone wrong and extravagant living. Once known and respected among the world of prominent society, there were very few that would extend help or express sympathy for the ruined businessmen and their families. With no one to turn to, they too faced the same fate as so many of the others did. For these men and women who had only known wealth and comfort; the life of poverty was indeed an extremely devastating experience which they looked upon with an aversion. Keeping their distance from the others, they would live entirely to themselves, suffering and starving in silence. The men would try desperately to find some sort of employment, and if they did, they would work as hard as they could in the hopes that their lives will once again return to normal. Only if in desperate need, will they reach out to charitable organizations for help.\nFathers who had become disabled from the war, industrial accidents or sickness, were not able to continue providing for their families, which led to their being evicted by the merciless landlords. On a cold day crowds of these poor people would be seen in the public places, huddled together, shivering, around a blazing fire, hoping that some kind passerby would feel sympathy and toss them a coin or offer them some sort of lodgings for the night. It was not unusual to find whole families literally starving for want of food.\nThen there were the Newsboys. In the New York Times article \"The Newsboy\" dated March 10, 1854, the following reference is made to them. \"\"Of all the classes of the great city, the newsboy is the very type of American independence. He has stood alone all his life. When other children were in nurseries or play-grounds, he was estimating debit and credit, laying by capital for the morrow, and elbowing through crowds, to sell his goods at the best possible rate. He was a man in business. He has spent most of his life learning the great lesson of Self-Help. These newsboys show many kindly and generous traits. They help one another. They often want to learn. Such lads as these are worth saving. They would make keen, industrious, enterprising men. Give them a chance to learn; get them out of their vagrant, homeless habits; try to bring a little of the great influences which are everywhere redeeming Society, to bear on them, and see whether the newsboys do not turn out good citizens.\"\nIn some cases where one parent would die, the remaining parent not able to care for the children, would abandon them to whatever fate had in store for them. These cast-a-ways were almost invariably left either in the streets or at some other public place where they may be found by someone. A large amount of these children were placed in orphanages. It was but rarely that any child thus abandoned would result in their being claimed by the parent at a later date.",

        "raw_content": "Famous Buccaneer: Francois L'Ollonais\nThe Cruelest Buccaneer\nWhen can we say that person is notorious? Maybe when someone rips somebody's heart in order to gain more information? Maybe when someone burns a prisoner alive to get more treasure? Jean-David Neu , Frenchman, was very famous, but not only for his naval actions in the Caribbean.\nHis nickname was Francois L'Ollonais , but also \"Flail of the Spaniards\" which represents frightful cruelties he did to the Spanish people. Maybe he had his own reason for that, but ferocious treatment on his prisoners like that was unseen in history of piracy. What's even worse, he was not even a pirate. Jean-David Nau was the cruelest buccaneer of all time .\nHe was born in France around 1635. As a young man he was sold to a master who took him to the Caribbean . From 1650 to 1660 he lived as servant on the Island of Martinique. However, L'Ollonais gained experience and confidence for all following achievements in his career. In 1660 he joined the buccaneers stationed in Saint-Domingue and showed all his talent. Robbing and killing Spaniards was his occupation from that point till the end of his life.\nThe governor of the Tortuga, who was also a buccaneer , gave to L'Ollonais a small ship to command. Nau was merciless from the beginning as he plundered many ships and killed everybody on those vessels. L'Ollonais was also one of the first buccaneers who organized land attacks .\nIn 1663 his ship suffered a shipwreck in Yucatan, Peninsula. Entire crew survived the wreck, but they were slaughtered by local Spanish soldiers. Only L'Ollonais managed to survive thanks to his shiftiness. He covered himself with dead companions, smeared with their blood and pretended to be dead. After the guards left, he dressed himself as a Spaniard and escaped in canoes with a few salves he released. Angered Nau demolished entire Spanish ship with his small crew on his way to the Tortuga. Only one man was spared to tell the governor of Havana who the responsible person was.\nHe found a new partner, Michel de Basco, who was a famous Caribbean seaman. Together they gathered large army with over 600 buccaneers and 8 ships . Targets were cities Maracaibo and Gibraltar in the Gulf of Venezuela. The city of Maracaibo was defended by fortification equipped with 16 cannons. But L'Ollonais tricked defense by attacking on foot from landward side. The fortification was conquered easily and that left region wide open, easy for a devastation. When the buccaneers came to Maracaibo, they realized that a lot of townsfolk escaped. They chased the fugitives throughout woods and brought them back. L'Ollonais was abominably torturing almost every citizen until they betray their friends and reveal hidden treasures . Some of them died in pain. Notwithstanding, total prize was poor and so frustrated buccaneers held the city for ransom.\nAfter that, they landed near Gibraltar and from there they had a brutal attack with a lot of own casualties. Town quickly fell into their hands, as 500 guards were slaughtered. The Citizens met same fate as the ones in Maracaibo. They were raped, tortured, murdered , and no one was spared. Some of them died without any particular reason, just for personal satisfaction. Almost whole town was burned in L'Ollonais's rage. When the buccaneers came home they brought 260,000 pieces of eight from plunder and ransom.\nIn 1667 L'Ollonais's prepared another huge raid, and for that purpose he gathered over 700 buccaneers for activates in the Caribbean. They easily captured port of Puerto Cabellos and already had another town, San Pedro, in mind. On way there, L'Ollonais was ambushed by the Spaniards and nearly escaped death. He was frustrated. He took his knife and raped heart from one of unlucky survivors. Other scared survivors revealed the best way to San Pedro and that town was conquered easily.\nHowever problem was that both towns were poor, and there was not much treasure left. Many disappointed buccaneers left, and L'Ollonais continued with the only one ship and his own crew. He taught that it was enough to conquer Nicaragua. Early in 1668, remaining ship was wrecked on their way to that town. The buccaneers decided to go to the Gulf of Darien, but finally they were caught by the Spaniards. While escaping L'Ollonais was captured by the Indians who were on the Spanish side. His life finished like he perhaps deserved. He was cut into pieces and burned . Some rumor goes that he was eaten by cannibals.\nName: Jean David Nau\nKnown As: Francois L'Ollonais",

        "raw_content": "Android Applications, Wordpress\nMajority of the blogging on the Internet now is done through the WordPress blogging platform, and most of them are the bloggers who use the desktop version of WordPress for blogging and updating the blogs in any way. Doing the same through the mobile phones and tablet devices is also possible, for those who are looking to do when they do not have an access to the computers, and still wanted to update their blogs or just want to approve the submitted guest posts perhaps. For the Android users, there is an official version of the WordPress app which can be rated as the best, needing no alternatives for the Android phone and Android tablet users.\nThe WordPress app for Android is a well organized app which would help the user write a post, make a page, set the categories, upload images and videos and finally publish them with various other options, although not everything that is available on the Desktop version would be available here. The screenshots that we have included would explain a lot about the WordPress Android App.\nFeatures of the WordPress App for Android\nBlog on any type of WordPress Blog: Start a new blog at wordpress.com where a free blog can be registered directly from the app, or a blog which is already hosted at wordpress.com can be used, or one could add their self-hosted wordpress blog and login to that. There is no limitation to the type of wordpress blog to be used in the Android app.\nOption of opening the actual desktop version admin panel from the app directly. This would help you in making any changes to the blog which was not possible from the app, like changing something in the theme, installing or deactivating a plugin etc.\nThe admin panel in the app shows direct links to New Post, New Page, Quick Photo, Quick Video, Posts, Pages, Comments, Settings, Dashboard and Stats.\nThe user has a full control on the post, with the title, post content area where you don\u2019t need to write just the simple text, but can also edit it and make it bold, italic, underlined, struck off, and add a link to a particular text and a few more options are available. The appropriate category can be selected before publishing the post. A new category can even be added if you feel there is no category for what you are posting.\nOne can set all the timestamp options, and set to publish the post, draft it or send it for pending review, and if you don\u2019t have an active internet at that point of time, you may save the draft locally too. The post type can also be set, like a normal post, a gallery, a status, an image or chat etc.\nThe app lists all the published posts in a very neat and organized way, with the time stamp when it was written, and with the status whether the post was published or was saved as draft or scheduled for posting later.\nAll in all, this is a perfect application for the WordPress users and bloggers, where there is a lot of flexibility for the users, and this is the official app from the WordPress team. Download the app from the Play Store. Earlier, there was a plugin for managing wordpress from mobile, named the Wpphone plugin, but that is certainly something different from what we have talked about above.\nTags: Android app for Wordpress, Blog from Android, Blogging from Android phone, Blogging from Android tablet, Wordpress Android App",

        "title": "This Is Getting Old: Welcome to the Sidney Crosby Show",
        "raw_content": "Welcome to the Sidney Crosby Show\nSeven games left in the season, division title on the line, and in a fight against a desperate Toronto team laying everything on the line: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Sidney Crosby Show. He had two pivotal goals and one in the shootout to lead the Pens to a 5-4 shootout victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs Sunday afternoon at Mellon Arena. This, combined with a New Jersey loss to the Flyers, gives the Penguins a two point lead in the Atlantic Division with only 6 games remaining. (Devils have 7) It was a game of \"cat and mouse\" the entire game with each team exchanging goals all the way until the shootout. Tyler Kennedy put the Pens on the board first with an important goal midway through the first to tie the game up after Colton Orr of the Leafs scored earlier in the game. Kennedy's goal came after Mike Rupp managed to box out two Leafs defenders in the corner boards and pass the puck out to an open Kennedy for the score. The pattern would continue when Phil Kessel managed to put a long wrist shot past Fleury to give Toronto a 2-1 lead and the majority of the momentum. It was up to the captain to turn things around, and he wasted little time doing so. His first goal of the game came after Brooks Orpik wristed a long shot on J S Giguere and Crosby was there to dig out the rebound and poke it home for the score. Just over 3 minutes later, Crosby would score yet again after taking a pass from Orpik in the offensive zone and beating Giguere just over his blocker to put the Pens up 3-2. Unfortunately for the Pens, however, there was still some work to be done. The Leafs managed to tie it and take the lead on a pair of goals from Carl Gunnarsson and Tyler Bozak in the second and third periods respectively. It appeared for a long time that this would be the way things would end until the Pens changed all that with 2:48 to go in the third. Jordan Leopold slapped a shot towards Giguere ,but instead of a routine save being made, Matt Cooke jumped in front of it and made an extraordinary deflection between his legs to tie the game up and eventually send it into overtime. It looked like the Pens would pull it off at the end of overtime as they got a 4 on 3 powerplay in the final minutes, but a few acrobatic saves from Giguere kept it tied and sent the game into a shootout. Crosby cemented his status as first star of the game by beating Giguere high side to give the Pens the shootout lead. Pascal Dupuis also scored in the shootout and Fleury stopped both attempts thrown his way by Kessel and Nikolai Kulemin. Despite allowing 4 goals, it was a strong performance by Fleury, who made 25 saves and picked up his 35th win of the season. Crosby also had a good stats night getting his 47th goal of the season putting him ahead of Alexander Ovechkin and Steven Stamkos for the league lead. Crosby's performance was extremely important considering the absence of co-star Evgeni Malkin, who missed his 4th straight game and 6th out of the last 7. Sergei Gonchar also was absent due to illness, missing his 3rd straight. Another individual performance worth noting was that of Brooks Orpik, who recorded 3 assists and was a +1 for the game. This win capped off an important weekend for the Pens, who got 4 out a possible 4 points, clinched the playoffs, and seized the division lead from the Devils. The Pens will hope to keep their momentum going on Wednesday, when young superstar Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning come into town.",

Through schemes and strategic use of their agents, they pursue their interests in lands foreign and domestic, they seek to make alliances of convenience, and they hope to lure their foes into carefully woven snares. And when words fail or steel proves swifter and more decisive, they mobilize their militaries for war.\nA Game of Thrones: The Card Game presents the struggles between the Great Houses in a riveting fashion that has long balanced the subtleties of the finest intrigues against the epic ferocity of wars that sweep across nations. One of the game\u2019s particular challenges and triumphs has been to depict the world created by George R.R. Martin in his beloved fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire, in such a way as to balance the stories\u2019 epic natures against the depth of character of those people responsible for changing the course of history.\nNow, with its release, A Song of the Sea will paint a larger picture of Martin\u2019s epic naval battles even as it introduces another layer to the subtleties and personalities of those characters whose old grudges and deep-rooted ambitions fuel the game of thrones.\nOriginal article at Fantasy Flight Games -http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3478\nSubject: Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2012 11:14 pm\nFantasy Flight are doing something really interesting with this cycle. The addition of naval engagements is sure to spice up the game and add a new edge to combat.\nThere's an interview with Damon Stone at the end of the article linked in the OP that gives some insight into what's to come.\nThe first chapter pack of the new cycle has been revealed. Called Reach of the Kraken, the set includes characters with the new naval enhancement, three new Plot cards, a new Agenda and five new fleet cards. As part of the announcement, a picture of one of these new fleet cards was posted, see below.\nTo read the full reveal, check out http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3482\nGotta say I'm definitely looking forward to this cycle, though I hate it that Martell (my primary house) doesn't get any cool naval action.\nSubject: Posted: Tue Sep 11, 2012 7:25 pm\nshadowcatx wrote:\nHopefully it will increase the uniqueness of different houses.",

        "raw_content": "The FOMC Tapers QE3 Again \u2013 Gold and Silver Fall\nAs many had expected the FOMC decided to taper again its asset purchase program, AKA QE3, from $65 billion a month to $55 billion a month. This is the first major decision taken under new Chair Janet Yellen. This decision is in line with the FOMC\u2019s monetary policy of the past several months, in which it is slowly getting out of the asset purchase program. The slight improvement in the labor market \u2013 the rate of unemployment declined to 6.7% \u2013 enabled the FOMC to cut further QE3. Nonetheless, the U.S economy isn\u2019t out of the woods and the inflation rate is still well below the FOMC\u2019s target of 2%. This is why, the FOMC is likely to maintain its policy in the near future and keep its low interest rate. As stated in the FOMC\u2019s press release:\n\u201cTo support continued progress toward maximum employment and price stability, the Committee today reaffirmed its view that a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy remains appropriate.\u201d\nNonetheless, the FOMC\u2019s decision as to when it will be prudent to start raising the interest rate will mostly rely on the progress of the labor market and price stability:\n\u201cIn determining how long to maintain the current 0 to 1/4 percent target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will assess progress\u2013both realized and expected\u2013toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation\u201d\nThe FOMC also updated its economic outlook in which the GDP growth rate was revised down to 2.1%-3% in 2014; the rate of unemployment inched down to a range of 6%-6.5%; the inflation outlook is still low at 1.3%-1.8% \u2013 below the FOMC\u2019s target of 2%.\nThe markets promptly reacted to the news as the USD appreciated against the Euro, Canadian dollar and Aussie dollar. Furthermore, in the commodities markets gold and silver dropped soon after this decision was made.\nThe table below shows the reaction of the precious metals markets to the recent FOMC decision and past decisions.\nAs you can see, the FOMC\u2019s tapering decisions in the past three meeting resulted in a sharp fall in the prices of gold and silver.\nTags: asset purchase program Euro USD FOMC Meeting FOMC meeting Tapering QE3 gold and silver prices tapering QE3\n\u2190 What Could Curb Down Silver Wheaton\u2019s Recovery?\nGold And Silver | Recap for March 17-21 \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Following the sharp decline in crude oil prices by the end of the week, along with the appreciation of the US dollar against major currencies including the Euro and CAD, there are many questions regarding the direction of major commodities prices such as gold prices and forex including Euro/USD in the upcoming week. There are many news items and reports that will be published this week that could affect traders including: US Federal Budget Balance, OPEC monthly report, U.S. producer price index and Philly Fed Manufacturing Index. Here is an economic news calendar for the week of September 12th to September 16th that highlights the main news items and reports related to the U.S., Euro Area and Australia.\nMonday 12th of September 2:30 \u2013 Australian trade of Balance: The upcoming report will regard July 2011. In the June 2011 report, the seasonally adjusted balance of goods and services declined from a surplus of $2,699 million May 2011 to $2,052 million in June 2011 \u2013 a $647 million drop. There was a decline in export of non-monetary gold by $894 million (55%); if this decline in gold export will continue, it might suggest a decrease in demand for non-monetary gold that could explain the changes in gold prices (see here last report);\nMonday 12th of September tentative \u2013OPEC monthly report: this report will present the changes in crude oil and natural gas\u2019s demand and supply worldwide; the report will also examine the changes in the production of OPEC countries during August; the recent drop in crude oil prices might be stem, in part, from the ongoing increase in Saudi Arabia\u2019s oil production; (See here a summary of the last report);\nTuesday 13th of September tentative \u2013IEA monthly oil report: this upcoming report will present an updated (as of August) outlook and analysis for the global crude oil market for 2011 and 2012 (See here a summary of the last report);\nTuesday 13th of September 19:00 \u2013US Federal Budget Balance: this upcoming publication will show the changes in the US federal balance for August 2011; this report indicates the government debt growth and thus may affect the USD. In the previous report, the US government deficit reached in July $129.37 billion \u2013 nearly $86 billion increase from the $43.080 billion deficit recorded in June 2011, but a decrease of 21% from the July 2010 (See here a summary of the recent report);\nWednesday 14th of September 13.30 \u2013 U.S. producer price index: This monthly report will show the progress in the PPI during August, i.e. the inflation rate from producers\u2019 stand point. In the previous report regarding July, this index for finished goods inclined by 0.2%, after a drop of 0.4% in June; this index inclined mainly due to the rise in food prices; this news could have an effect on gold and silver prices;\nWednesday 14th of September 15:30 \u2013 Changes in US retail sales: this report shows the monthly changes in the retail sales and food services; in last month\u2019s report regarding July, the retail sales, when controlling for the price changes, slightly inclined by 0.5% from the previous month; gasoline stations sales rose by 1.6% in July compared with June 2011, and were 23.6% above sales in July 2010; this report could indicate the changes in US demand for gasoline (see here my review of the recent report).\nWednesday 14th of September 15:30 \u2013 EIA report about Crude oil inventories: the EIA (Energy Information Administration) will publish its weekly report on the U.S Petroleum market for the week ending on September 9th; last week, the US petroleum & oil stockpiles sharply fell by 9.2 million barrels, or 0.51% to reach 1,784.9 million barrels (see here the recent crude oil market review);\nThursday 15th of September 9.00 \u2013 ECB monthly bulletin: This monthly bulletin analyzes the economic situation of the Euro Area including price stability, interest rate decisions and governments debt; this report might provide some insight into the recent sharp depreciation of the Euro against the USD (see here last report) ;\nThursday 15th of September 10:00 \u2013 Euro Area CPI and core monthly inflation (August): In the last report regarding July 2011, the annual inflation rate declined to 2.5%, a 0.2 percent points decline compared with June\u2019s inflation; this inflation rate is still above the target inflation of ECB of 2%. The expectations in the upcoming CPI report for August 2011 are a slight decline. This news might affect the Euro currency, ECB\u2019s next rate decision and consequentially major commodities prices including crude oil and gold (for the full previous report);\nThursday 15th of September 13:30 \u2013 Department of Labor report \u2013 U.S. unemployment claims: For the week ending on September 3rd, initial claims rose by 2,000 to 414,000 claims; the insured unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.0% for the week ending on August 27th; the number of insured unemployment was 3.717 million, a decrease of 30,000 compared with the previous week\u2019s (see here my recent review on the US Labor market);\nThursday 15th of September 13:30 \u2013 Report on US CPI: This monthly report will show the main changes in the consumer price index during August. According to the US Bureau of Labor statistics for July 2011, the CPI inclined by 0.5% and over the last 12 months by 3.6%. The core CPI inclined in July by 0.2%. The main reasons for this increase are related to the sharp increase in energy prices;\nThursday 15th of September 15.00 \u2013 Philly Fed Manufacturing Index: This monthly survey provides an indicator for the economic progress of the US economy as it measures the manufacturing conditions of the US. In the recent August survey, the index declined from a positive reading of 3.2 in July to -30.7 in August \u2013 the lowest level since March 2009. This index, may have been among the factors to affect not only the USD but also US stock markets, crude oil prices and gold prices (see here last report) ;\nThursday 15th of September 15:30 \u2013 EIA report about Natural gas storage: The Weather disruption could continue to affect the natural gas market from both the demand and supply sides. The EIA will publish its U.S. natural gas stocks, production and consumption report for the week ending on September 9th. In the recent report, natural gas storage rose by 2.2% or 64 Bcf to 3,025 billion cubic feet for all lower 48 states \u2013 the highest stock level since December 31st, 2011 (see here my recent natural gas storage review);\nThursday 15th of September 19:00 \u2013 ECB conference Trichet speaks: following the recent rate decision in which ECB kept the rates unchanged at 1.5%, Trichet will give a speech regarding the economic stability of the Euro Area, the recent depreciation of the Euro and the ongoing debt crisis in the Euro Area;\nFriday 16th of September 14:00 \u2013 US TIC long term purchases: The Treasury International Capital report will present the main changes in the purchases and sales of US long term treasuries during July 2011. In the previous report regarding June 2011, the net foreign holdings in US Treasuries longer-term notes fell by $11.5 billion. Due to the news of the US credit rating downgrade, it\u2019s likely to have also affected traders to further purchase Treasury bills (see here my last review of June 2011).\nOil prices Monthly outlook \u2013 September 2011\nWeekly Outlook for August 29- September 2\n\u2190 Gold & silver prices seeking direction | weekly recap 6-9 September",

        "raw_content": "Turkey denies report of plan to kidnap cleric Gulen from US\nFILE - In this July 2016 file photo, Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen speaks to members of the media at his compound, in Saylorsburg, Pa. Turkey on Sunday dismissed as \"ludicrous and groundless\" a report that Turkish officials may have discussed kidnapping Gulen, a U.S.-based Muslim cleric, in exchange for millions of dollars. (AP Photo/Chris Post, File)\nISTANBUL (AP) \u2014 Turkey on Sunday dismissed as \u201cludicrous and groundless\u201d a report that Turkish officials may have discussed kidnapping a U.S.-based Muslim cleric in exchange for millions of dollars.\nOn Friday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller was investigating an alleged plot involving former U.S. National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and his son to forcibly remove Fethullah Gulen and hand him over to Ankara for as much as $15 million.\nTurkey blames Gulen for last year\u2019s failed coup attempt. Gulen denies the claim.\nIn a statement on Twitter, Turkey\u2019s embassy in Washington reiterated demands that the U.S. extradite Gulen so he can stand trial. The embassy said Turkey has been working with U.S. agencies to provide evidence of Gulen\u2019s culpability and rejected \u201callegations that Turkey would resort to means external to the rule of law.\u201d\nTurkish officials say they have provided U.S. officials with ample evidence for Gulen\u2019s involvement in the coup that killed 250 people. Nearly 50,000 people are behind bars in Turkey and more than 100,000 civil servants have been dismissed from their jobs for alleged links to the cleric\u2019s network in the government\u2019s crackdown after the failed coup.\nYet questions remain whether Gulen would receive a fair trial in Turkey.\nThe Turkish embassy said the Turkish people find Gulen\u2019s continued refuge in the U.S. \u201cperplexing and deeply frustrating.\u201d\nGulen has been living in the U.S. for nearly two decades. He is a former ally of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan until a public fallout in 2013 led the government to declare Gulen\u2019s network a terror group.\nRelations between Turkey and the U.S. have been tense over disagreements on multiple fronts. The two countries suspended non-immigrant visa services in October in a tit-for-tat following the arrest of two local U.S. embassy employees. The services resumed on a limited basis this month.\nAlso behind bars in Turkey for alleged links to Gulen is U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson, who has lived in Turkey for over 20 years. Erdogan said in September the U.S. was pressing Turkey to return a \u201ccleric\u201d while refusing to hand over another \u201ccleric.\u201d\nComplicating relation further is the case of a Turkish-Iranian businessman on trial in the U.S. for evading U.S. sanctions on Iran. A former Turkish economy minister and an executive of a state-owned Turkish bank have also been indicted. The case starts on Nov. 27.\nIn a meeting last week, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim and Vice President Michael Pence discussed the cases among other strained issues, including the U.S. backing of Syrian Kurdish militants in the war against the Islamic State group.\nTurkey has been infuriated by the U.S. support for a group it considers an extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers\u2019 Party or PKK, which has waged an insurgency within Turkey for more than 30 years.",

        "raw_content": "Recognition is defined by the Lisbon Recognition Convention (LRC) as a formal acknowledgement by a competent authority of the value of a foreign educational qualification with a view to providing access to educational and/or employment activities.\nRecognition of Transnational Education (TNE) qualifications refers to a statement of acceptance or endorsement of qualifications awarded through transnational agreements or via distance education.\nRecognition vs Accreditation\nBoth recognition and accreditation are concerned with quality assurance. In Accreditation, the institutions offering the programmes are located in Jamaica and so the UCJ is able to scrutinise all aspects of the programmes; their design, delivery and assessment. In the case of Recognition, although the certificates, diplomas and degrees are offered to Jamaican participants, there is no physical institutional presence or entity in Jamaica that can be accredited.\nIn Recognition, the assessment is ex post facto, in that the programme has already been offered, the certificate, diploma or degree granted and what is assessed is its value vis a vis comparable accredited diploma or degree programmes. This is done through an examination of the extent to which criteria and standards, established by the UCJ for this purpose, have been met.",

        "raw_content": "Angry protesters greet right-wing Dutch MP Geert Wilders\nOn a dark street in a wealthy district of Damascus, a light shines from an arched, brass doorway. The door is slightly ajar. Inside, except for a small computer in the corner, the room seems like a medieval study. Ottoman-engraved silver plates, carved wood couches, and stained glass windows line the sides of this narrow office. Here, University of Damascus professor Suhair Zakkar is translating old manuscripts for a 90-volume series on the Crusades--an accumulation of his life's work\nTo Zakkar, these texts are not exactly ancient history. \"We feel the campaigns never ceased,\" says Zakkar, who speaks with the precision of a historian. \"Europe invaded our country, and we fought the Europeans here and at last succeeded in liberating our country.\"\nIn Syria, the memory of the Crusades runs deep. It is here that Muslims fought an onslaught of crusaders all along the coastline from Damascus to Aleppo. For Arabs and Muslims, the Crusades marked a time of assault and destruction\u2014a time when the Muslim world was in dire jeopardy, defending against bloodthirsty crusaders bent on destroying their land and their people simply because they were not Christian\u2014or because they were Muslim.\n\u201cFor two centuries, the crusaders killed several million Muslims,\u201d explains Zakkar. \u201cThey left in this country a very bad memory of killing, destruction, spoiling and devastation. More than that, they came to this country to \u2018rescue\u2019 or help the local Christians. Before the coming of the Christians, in every part of Syria, there was a considerable number of Christians. But because of the Crusades, [Christianity] became a smaller religion in Syria and the Christians became a real minority.\u201d\nLike Zakkar, many Muslims in the region believe that the current political situation in the Arab world--which began when the French and the British attempted to divide the region and helped establish the state of Israel after the second world war--is nothing more than another wave of the Crusades.\n\"The Crusades have continued until today,\" Zakkar says. \"In 1291 we had the Crusades against Egypt by Cyprus and then several Crusades against North Africa. The Ottoman Empire faced several Crusades. Then we have the French and the British mandate. Then up to today. When President Bush wanted to take his forces to Iraq, he used the word Crusades several times--and up to this moment, he believes himself to be the new messiah.\"\nBecause past hurts of the Crusades are felt afresh, the Muslim heroes of earlier campaigns are powerful symbols in the Arab world. Nureddin, the son of a Turkish tribal leader, united all of Syria in the 12th century and defeated the crusaders in Egypt. His successor, Saladin al-Ayyubi, symbolizes resistance and pride in defending against Christian crusaders. The leader of Egypt, Saladin wrested Muslim land from the crusaders and gained his place in history in the Battle of Hattin in 1187, when he liberated Jerusalem with little bloodshed. This battle is the climax of the new Ridley Scott movie \"Kingdom of Heaven.\"\nSaladin died in Damascus in 1193, but his spirit lives on in this and other cities. Just outside the old city walls, which were once expanded and strengthened by Saladin, his statue stands as a present-day protector. Inside the walls in a red-domed building just behind the famous Umayyid Mosque, his mausoleum lies between columns that were once part of the Roman Temple of Jupiter.\nOther than \"Kingdom of Heaven,\" few recent Hollywood films have tackled the Crusades. But in the Middle East, screen portrayals of Saladin are plentiful. Over the last decade, documentaries and television series on the Crusades and the life of Saladin have multiplied, presenting to the Arab world an honorable history in which Muslims were united, strong, and able to defend themselves against Western aggression. Muslims here view Saladin as both astute and chivalrous\u2014a general who earned the respect not only of his own people, but also of his enemy with whom he sought peaceful coexistence. Saladin continues to represent the savior who brought hope and dignity to a Muslim world in a time of pain and darkness.\nIn \u201cKingdom of Heaven,\u201d Saladin is played by Ghassan Massoud, a respected Syrian actor. A slight man with strong Arab features--a furrowed brow and brown, expressive eyes--Massoud portrays Saladin as a stately, chivalrous man who knew how to deal with his enemy. In a Beliefnet interview, he said he believes Saladin would have been able to bring understanding and dialogue between the Muslim world and the West, were he alive today.\n\u201cIt is in my nature to understand Saladin more than [Westerners can],\u201d Massoud says over coffee. \u201cMy religion is the same religion as his. We have the same geography, the same history. He was a huge hero. He enabled Arabs, Muslims, and the Christians to return to Jerusalem. ...He conveyed a good image to the West of a noble enemy.\u201d\nMuslims today have no counterpart to Saladin, Zakkar says. He hopes Saladin\u2019s model of coexistence will provide a prototype for a new generation of Muslims who could bring about a peaceful solution to the dispute over Jerusalem.\n\u201cIf we are looking for a new champion, we want him to liberate our land and not to kill anybody,\u201d he says. \u201cWe do not like to do it the way the Americans do. We want to liberate Jerusalem and Palestinian land, but we do not want to kill the Jews. We are looking for a new generation and a new generation will create new leadership\u2014a Muslim one, not an American one or a Russian one.\u201d\nFor now, Zakkar says that the key to defusing the current clash of civilizations may be found in the past.\n\u201cSaladin liberated Jerusalem and dealt [fairly] with the crusaders, with his enemy, as a good Muslim because Islam is a tolerant religion,\u201d says Zakkar. \u201cHe won respect here and in the West. Nowadays, because of the struggle between Islam and the West\u2014the struggle between civilizations\u2014and the movement to unite Europe and [the attempt to unite] the West under the leadership of the U.S. by will or by force\u2014and because of the occupation of Israel, many people here and there are writing about Saladin. Probably not to know what happened in the past, but to predict what will happen in the future.\"",

        "raw_content": "The Green Party believes strongly that peace is the only means by which violent conflict abroad\ncan be resolved. President Donald Trump\u2019s previous strike in Syria clearly failed to eliminate, or\neven delay, the use of chemical weapons in the state. Former President Barack Obama\u2019s\nnegotiations with Russia to remove chemical weapons from Syria was far more successful in\ndelaying their use, although his administration\u2019s general policy of arming militias in the region\nundermined the agreement\u2019s long-term success. Indeed, long-term security and peace in Syria,\nthe Middle East, and around the globe can only be accomplished through peaceful diplomacy\nand by strengthening our communal, human bonds. Violence has only and will only produce\nmore violence.\nMoreover, the headlong rush into bombing another sovereign nation is both militarily and\nfiscally irresponsible. At best, this strike will accomplish nothing but the death of civilians and\nthe waste of American tax dollars. At worst, it will engage this country in yet another quagmire\nin the Middle East born out of a short-sighted policy of regime change. The tombstone of every\nsoldier and civilian who has died in Iraq and Afghanistan is a solemn testament to the terrible\ncosts that Americans will bear from the foolishness of reckless military and executive branch\nofficials. Rather, the Green Party of Virginia calls on the United States to await a report from the\nUnited Nations detailing the exact nature of the attack prior to working with that body to devise a\nmeaningful, long-term solution. Bryce Davis, co-chair of the Green Party of Virginia, argues this\npoint forcefully, stating that, \u201cordering a military strike before a full analysis by the Organisation\nfor the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is a dangerous escalation of US-involvement in the\nSyrian conflict. Inflaming tensions with Russia, to levels not seen since the Cold War, is an\naffront to peace in our times. Innocent lives are not just a number on a news broadcast, and\nshould not be treated as such.\u201d The Green Party of Virginia as a whole concurs.",

        "raw_content": "Issue cover and special section for Event Marketer magazine.\nThe challenge: Event Marketer magazine\u2019s annual \u201cIt List\u201d showcases the top 100 agencies in its industry. According to the client, this select list includes \u201cagencies that are doing great work\u2026representing the industry as a serious discipline\u2026and moving the needle on their client\u2019s revenue.\u201d The magazine\u2019s goal for the issue was that it be \u201cthe Bible\u2026the Zagat Guide, the Forbes list of best agencies in the business.\u201d\nThe idea: I envisioned this celebration of the top 100 agencies as an event itself. In my three rough concepts for the client (below), I tied the visuals to large-scale events\u2014a rock concert, a carnival, an awards ceremony\u2014that had iconography (a cheering crowd and stage, a high-striker game, and a red carpet, respectively) that would be immediately recognizable to the reader.\nThe winner is: My preference was the rock concert version. To me, the agencies were \u201crock stars\u201d in their particular arena, and their inclusion in the 2011 It List was the equivalent of admiring fans cheering them on. Since each agency is \u201cspotlighted\u201d in the issue, I liked that this concept used light\u2014a setting flooded by stage lighting with the word \u201cit\u201d as a monumentally large light wall\u2014to represent the listees. Fortunately, this was also the client\u2019s choice. I love when that happens. The final cover art (below) is consistent with the rough thumbnail, but the \u201cit\u201d light wall has been filled with many lights, rather than just the outline in the rough, and a slight color change was made to the highlights hitting the audience.\nBehind the scenes: The cover was composited from two separate stock images\u2014one for the stage, and one for the crowd. The original crowd in the stage image (below left) was replaced with the more interesting and detailed crowd in another image (below center), and I created for the \u201cit\u201d light wall in Adobe Illustrator (below right), which was then enhanced in Photoshop with blurs and glows to integrate it into the overall composition.\nSection cover: A variation of the cover was required to open the top 100 listing section within the magazine. This version required a substantial amount of copy space for introductory text, as well as the magazine\u2019s folios and lined page grid, so the composition changed significantly from the issue cover (see image below). The same stage image was used (but its full width, which had been cropped on the issue cover, was revealed) and the original crowd from that image was used to create a more distant point of view than on the issue cover.\nThe listings: The constraints of the interior section were an 8-company-per-page grid, and the editors wrote and cut to fit that in order to get it all in the allotted page count. A page header consistent with the issue and section covers tops all pages and spreads (see below; click image for larger view).\nIcons & flags: A handful of companies were singled out in various categories\u2014red hot, one to watch, boutique superstar, plugged in, etc.\u2014by the editors, and icons were attached to the listings for companies that received those designations. I wanted to keep the iconography consistent with the rock concert theme (see final icons below), so graphics like a flaming guitar, spotlight, vinyl album (for proven veterans still going strong), headphone jack, and mixing board controls were used to represent the various attributes being highlighted.\nThe listings themselves were typographically very dense, with a lot of information\u2014core competencies, revenue, client list, phone, URL, e-mail, etc.\u2014sharing a small space with the editors\u2019 comments, the icons, and a page reference to sponsored case study stories elsewhere in the section. To avoid adding yet another line of text (\u201cSee Case Study on page XX\u201d), I treated that as a notched arrow adornment in the bottom right corner of the listing with the page number set within it (below, right). The explanations for both the icons and the red case study flags were handled in a key in the outer left margin (below, left) on each spread within the section. Icons and red page flags were handled as custom anchored objects within the InDesign layout and managed with Object Styles to guarantee consistent and pixel-perfect positioning in every listing.\nThe reviews: At the end of the process, I got this feedback from my client: \u201c\u2026the package looks awesome and the team couldn\u2019t be more thrilled. We really enjoyed this process working with you and definitely hope to do it again\u2026\u201d\nAnd the winner is\u2026everybody!",

If the Government believes that it should engage in force before the Royal Commission reports, it should be allowed to do so with the support of the House of Representatives PROVIDED that the new use of force is referred to the same Royal Commission and independent legal advice has been received that the use of force would be legal and that the government will accept the compulsory jurisdiction of the ICJ in any suit brought by any state questioning the legality of this new use of force.\nIf we do not learn from the mistakes of the past we will repeat them again \u2013 first as tragedy, then as farce.",

        "raw_content": "Nice Girls Still Finish Last\nLet\u2019s talk about anger\u2014belly-down, no-holds-barred rage\u2014the kind of anger expressed by seventies feminists once dubbed \u201cbra-burning kooks\u201d and \u201cwomen\u2019s libbers.\u201d Lynn Povich\u2019s 2012 The Good Girls Revolt: How the Women of Newsweek Sued Their Bosses and Changed the Workplace (now in paperback) has all the hallmarks of an epic battle of the sexes.\nUnfortunately, her book is oddly muted, told from the perspective of a \u201cpre-feminist\u201d who seems caught between the thrill of working for a big magazine and the evidence piling up before her. It\u2019s framed as a history of the first gender-discrimination suit filed against a major media company, complete with helpful explanations for those who\u2019ve never encountered the phrase \u201cmale chauvinist pig.\u201d\nMe, I\u2019d start resuscitating kickass slogans about piggy behavior rather than backing away with a wrinkled nose. Indeed, The Good Girls Revolt was sparked when three young female Newsweek writers contacted Povich, who was part of the original lawsuit, decades later. They felt frustrated on the job themselves, and their investigation led to their 2010 cover story, \u201cAre We There Yet?\u201d\nWomen\u2019s Review of Books readers won\u2019t be surprised that the answer is no. Writers Jessica Bennett, Jesse Ellison, and Sarah Ball (none of whom work for Newsweek now) cited a host of stats, including this one: \u201c[f]emale bylines at major magazines are still outnumbered by seven to one.\u201d This mirrors the numbers I note in my November/December 2013 Women\u2019s Review of Books essay, \u201cA Profound Absence,\u201d about the disappearance of female writers from the public conversation.\nAccording to Povich, even that 2010 cover article faced stiff resistance from Newsweek brass. Still, it got published. In contrast, the 46 women who brought the 1970 suit were told flat out that women could never be writers because it was a Newsweek \u201ctradition.\u201d Instead, they were stuck as secretaries or handing off their reporting notes to male coworkers, who called them \u201cdollies.\u201d\n\u201cRecognizing that sexism still exists despite its subtlety is one of the challenges of the new generation,\u201d the 2010 Newsweek writers argue, \u201cthough it doesn\u2019t hold a candle to what the dollies of 1970 pulled off.\u201d\nExcept that it does. The 2010 story quoted the feminist media critic Susan Douglas about the \u201cenlightened sexism\u201d pervading today\u2019s professional landscape. The writers included anecdotes about female colleagues who complained that male bosses had told them to use \u201ctheir sexuality\u201d to get ahead. Worse, though, is how \u201cbaffling and alien\u201d the obvious discrimination feels to these younger women.\nPovich\u2019s The Good Girls Revolt goes a long way toward curing collective amnesia about the many discrimination suits brought by female employees in the seventies against august pillars such as Newsweek, Reader\u2019s Digest, and the New York Times. The 1970 Newsweek women filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suit and held a press conference after their own magazine ran a cover story about feminism called \u201cWomen in Revolt\u201d\u2014a story the editors had refused to assign to a female Newsweek staffer. Instead, they gave it to freelancer Helen Dudar, describing her in the editor\u2019s note as a \u201ctop-flight journalist who is also a woman.\u201d\nThe battle required more than one legal round and many tangles with management, but within a few years, there were female writers at Newsweek. Povich became its first female senior editor in 1975. But her book about those days gone by, written in that signature snappy yet authoritative newsmagazine style, doesn\u2019t deliver the feminist rage it should be evoking right now\u2014especially when the younger generation keeps talking about the repercussions of acting like a \u201cbitch\u201d or being too confrontational. Povich is far too circumspect for the legitimate anger of 1970 to feel more than second hand, like the lingering scent of an old fire.\nThat\u2019s why her anecdotes about the ACLU lawyer for their first round, the redoubtable Eleanor Holmes Norton, leap off the page. At the time, Povich writes, the pregnant Norton was \u201can impressive figure with an Afro to match\u2026\u2019indignant\u2019 was her middle name.\u201d She describes Norton \u201c[devouring] slices of raw onion\u201d during their planning meetings: \u201cAt one point, fed up with us all, she yelled, \u2018You God damn middle-class women\u2014you think you can just go to Daddy and ask for what you want?\u2019\u201d\nGranted, not everyone is Norton\u2014or Susan Brownmiller or Nora Ephron or Gloria Steinem. But while Povich remarks of Norton that \u201cthere was a method to her madness,\u201d I have to ask why confronting full-blown sexism head-on is labeled \u201cmadness.\u201d\nNow, here we are at the beginning of 2014, barely a year after Newsweek closed down as a print magazine and was engulfed by Tina Brown\u2019s news website the Daily Beast. Last summer, it got sold again to International Business Times. The dizzying pace of online media transformation only underscores the depressing message of that 2010 cover story.\nWhich is not just about the number of female writers and editors. When the young Newsweek writers initially searched the Internet for \u201cNewsweek lawsuit\u201d and \u201cwomen sue Newsweek,\u201d they turned up nothing. Povich quotes Bennett: \u201cFunny\u2026we\u2019re trained in digital journalism, so we think if it\u2019s not on Google, it doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d The 2010 article is still available, but let\u2019s hope it doesn\u2019t vaporize from the Web in the near future.\nAs a feminist magazine editor who was twelve years old in 1970, I\u2019m very tired of all the pussyfooting around about female anger, as if it\u2019s got the power of kryptonite (which had the potential to destroy Superman, who lived, remember, disguised as \u201cmild-mannered\u201d male reporter Clark Kent).\nThe legacy of holding in all that righteous rage is reflected in recent comments like this, from Ball, who told Povich at the fortieth reunion of Newsweek plaintiffs, \u201cI don\u2019t know if anything would make women coalesce like that today. It made me feel very jealous, as if our generation missed out on something.\u201d\nAt the risk of sounding like a bra-burning kook, I say, \u201cBullshit!\u201d I don\u2019t accept that frustrated working women just need to buck up and \u201clean in.\u201d There\u2019s plenty left to coalesce around and get pissed off about together.",

        "raw_content": "It's no secret that us millennials are #GenerationInternet. Although I wasn't born with an iPhone in my hand, I was exposed to the internet at a pretty young age (early childhood memories of dial-up, AOL chats, and sparkly cursors on Myspace are flooding back to me right now). With this said, I've always felt comfortable with computers and technology, to a certain extent. I have learned to maneuver my way through online platforms, editing software, and other general \"computer savvy\" things. I can coast through keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop with my eyes closed... in the same \"auto-pilot\" type of way as when we drive somewhere and get to the destination without a clear recollection of how we got there.\nGeneration internet has changed the way A LOT of things function. Thankfully, with the wave of blogs, social media, and online platforms where people are encouraged to have their own voice, we also have the freedom to be creative with things that might have otherwise been more than snooze-worthy. Insert: the resume.\nOf course, a classic, Microsoft Word, 1 page, cleanly aligned resume is still important (everyone in the work-force should have one by now). However, if you work in a more creative industry or run your own business(es) as a solo-preneur, how fun would it be to create a resume that is 100% unique to you?! I came across the concept of creative resumes a few months ago (yes, I'm late to the game) and it's been on my to-do list ever since.\nThe best part about a creative resume, is that there's only 1 rule: there are no rules.\nYou can make it as traditional or as eclectic as you want. You can choose to focus on exact dates and job positions, or instead on your skill sets and business ventures. Either way you chose to do it, it's unique to you and what you want to portray about yourself as a creative professional.\nIn my case, I chose to keep it simple. I have more than enough traditional \"work experience\" to list, but including all of that would be a complete bore. I wanted to focus more on the industry specific skills that I have acquired and feel comfortable with. I also wanted to share my slight addiction to entrepreneurialism and provide a simple outline of the projects I've ventured into.\nThis was also a very fun creative outlet for me. All of the text that looks hand-written, IS hand-written by me. The doodles are also made by me, and everything down to the colors and layout are a product of my creative process.\nI hope this inspires you to create something fun out of an otherwise rather mundane thing today!\nDesignThe Weekend Gypsy August 18, 2015 resume, diy, fun, art, creative, designer, creator, internet, techComment\n{Mallorca} VLOG\nLifestyleThe Weekend Gypsy August 17, 2015 travel, wanderlust, vlog, spain, mallorca, vacation, holiday, summer, fun, video, europe, travel diary",

There are some or other options and you want to look for a wedding venue which you have thought of for a really long time. There are many kinds of wedding venues and the people would choose the based on their preferences and requirements. There are many individuals who have such primary wedding ceremony in the church and their reception is held in a different location. In this case, you must make sure that the wedding venue is close to the church.\nThere is also a kind of transport facility for guests. When you plan for a ceremony and reception in the same location, then you may choose the venues which are really made for weddings and have that permission and license. This can be better for the guests since they won\u2019t have to travel from one place to another. Such licensed wedding venues are a bit more expensive as compared to the others.\nYou should also consider the wedding location\u2019s size when it comes to selecting that event venue for your big day. Prior to booking the venue, you must first come up with the number of guests that you must invite on the big day. You need to make sure too that such venue can accommodate all guests. When you plan to arrange for some type of entertainment such as the dance floor or the band, then you must book that bigger venue since things can take up more space. You can find so many kinds of wedding venues and you may choose based on what you like. However, a really important thing that matters when selecting any kind of venue is the budget.\nHistoric venues are very popular and they are also preferred by so many people. Such would include country homes, castles and stately homes. But, it is very important that you have the budget so that you will be able to book such kind of venues. However, it will surely look like a dream wedding and you will also feel like a princess too.\nThe other types of weddings may actually be held in the open lawns or the hotels. Even if this would cost you more but you must realize that such is more affordable than those historic places. There are now many people who wish to have such small wedding party that can be easily prepared in the pub or the restaurant. This can be very easy on your pocket and you will also get to manage the entire event all by yourself. However, such will not give you the picture of a real wedding.",

Their support will include education on healthy eating and lifestyle choices, reducing weight through bespoke physical exercise programmes and portion control, which together have been proven to reduce the risk of developing the disease.\nThe programme, which is run collaboratively by NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK, was officially launched last year, with the first wave made up of 27 areas and covering 26 million people \u2013 almost half of the country. The latest national figures reveal the programme is making good progress, with just under 50,000 people referred in Wave 1 and more than 18,000 on the programme in at the end of April. This exceeds the original target set in the NHS Mandate of 10,000 referrals during 2017/18.\nWave 2 areas will cover another 25% of the population, with an estimated 130,000 referrals and up to 50,000 additional places made available thanks to the expansion.\nThe ambition is for the programme to eventually cover the whole of the country and these figures could rise to as many as 200,000 referrals and more than 80,000 people on programmes by 2018/19.\nEarly evidence is positive and suggests that just under half of those taking up the programme are men \u2013 a much higher proportion that traditional weight loss programmes, while roughly a quarter of people are from black and ethnic minority communities.\nDr Andrew Girdher, Clinical Lead NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, BSW said:\n\u201cType 2 Diabetes is a growing problem and potentially a preventable disease through diet, lifestyle and exercise.\n\u201cI am delighted that our area has been chosen to be part of the second wave of the evidence-based NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme. This is a free locally delivered 9 month rolling programme to target people who are at risk of developing diabetes.\n\u201cThose at risk of developing diabetes now have access to this robust programme to improve their health and reduce their risk of developing diabetes. I would strongly encourage anyone who has been invited to attend as this is an important step in helping to prevent diabetes and associated ill health.\u201d\n\u201cPrevention of type 2 diabetes is very important as it gives people the opportunity to lead longer, healthier lives.\n\u201cWe\u2019re pleased this prevention programme has been introduced and I hope people respond well to it and take positive strides towards a healthier future.\u201d\nPrevious PostPrevious New Interim Chief Officer joins Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group\nNext PostNext Don\u2019t let finding the right healthcare advice cloud your summer",

        "raw_content": "Neural Net Models for Teachers and Students\nArtificial neural networks have revolutionized the way researchers solve many complex and real-world problems in image processing, engineering, science, economics and finance. The Wolfram Language includes a wide range of state-of-the-art integrated machine learning capabilities, including a neural network framework, and the Wolfram Neural Net Repository contains neural network models available for training complicated nets on real-world data. This Neural Networks add-on package is intended for teaching and investigating simple neural net models on small datasets.\nThe Neural Networks package gives teachers and students tools to train, visualize and validate simple neural network models. It supports a comprehensive set of neural network structures, including radial basis function, feedforward, dynamic, Hopfield, perceptron, vector quantization, unsupervised and Kohonen networks. It implements training algorithms such as Levenberg\u2013Marquardt, Gauss\u2013Newton and steepest descent. Neural Networks also includes special functions to address typical problems in data analysis, such as function approximation, classification and detection, clustering, nonlinear time series and nonlinear system identification problems.\nThe Neural Networks package features palettes that facilitate the input parameters for the analysis, evaluation and training of your data. The documentation contains a number of detailed examples that demonstrate different neural network models and algorithms. You can solve many problems simply by applying the example commands to your own data. The Neural Networks package also provides numerous options to modify the training algorithms. The default values have been set to give good results for a large variety of problems, allowing you to get started quickly using only a few commands. As you gain experience, you will be able to customize the algorithms to improve the performance, speed and accuracy of your neural network models.\nThe package comes with electronic documentation that contains a number of detailed examples that demonstrate the use of the different neural network models, making the Neural Networks package an excellent teaching tool either for independent study or for use in neural network courses.\nJonas Sj\u00f6berg is a professor and the head of the mechatronic research group at Chalmers University. Dr. Sj\u00f6berg's research involves mechatronic-related fields, such as signal processing and control. Within these fields, he focuses on model-based methods, simulations, system identification and optimization for design and product development of mechatronic systems.\nThe Neural Networks add-on is developed and supported by Dr. Jonas Sj\u00f6berg.\nDr. Jonas Sj\u00f6berg\nemail: jonas.sjoberg@chalmers.se\nNeural Networks 1.4 requires Mathematica 11 and is available for all Mathematica platforms.",

This can often be a devastating blow to your fitness regime or lifting goals when you have to sit on the bench for what can often take up to a few months, or longer as you need to be careful when you restart even after it\u2019s healed.\nSo, what is classed as a soft-tissue injury?\nThis can be the muscles, tendons, ligaments, fibrous tissues, nerves, fat, fascia, blood vessels and synovial membranes. Common soft-tissue injuries can include sprains, strains, contusions, tendonitis, or bursitis.\nExamples of common injuries that may benefit from injury repair and rehabilitation peptides:\nTorn ligament injury\nTorn cartilage injury\nBut what if you could heal faster?\nThymosin Beta-4, (TB-500) the Injury Peptide, has been shown to stimulate the growth of connective tissue, accelerating the rate of repair. This injury peptide is the synthetic version of the human body\u2019s naturally occurring hormone.\nFurther research is being conducted into its possibilities to regenerate-tissue for human heart muscle damaged by heart attack and heart disease after trials on mice showed promising results.\nIt is also non-addictive, safe to use, cuts muscle spasm and helps fight inflammation as well as improving muscle tone and promoting strength. So it\u2019s a win-win if you\u2019re looking to get back to shredding faster than usual.\nSo don\u2019t let an injury hold you back from your fitness goals.\nUse Thymosin Beta-4 to help speed up recovery time, repair muscle and get back to your best YOU faster.\n\u2190 Previous Previous post: How Peptides help to lose weight\nNext \u2192 Next post: Hexarelin the dark horse",

        "raw_content": "Xabi from his own half\n2006 - Jan Kromkamp made his reds bow in a thrilling FA Cup Third Round tie at Luton Town. We took the lead through Steven Gerrard before falling 3-1 behind with Djibril Ciss\u00e9 having a penalty saved with the score at 2-1. Florent Sinama-Pongolle bagged a brace with his first goal being our thirteenth from a substitute that season, a new club record. Xabi Alonso also struck twice, with our final goal being an outrageous strike from inside his own half, with the keeper making his way back from a corner. Scott Carson made his ninth and final reds appearance in this game.\n1939 - We also faced the Hatters at the same stage of the Cup with forward George Patterson grabbing his only reds goal in a 3-0 Anfield victory. Jack Balmer added two strikes.\nAt last at the Bridge\n2004 - Bruno Cheyrou\u2019s first League goal handed us our first win at Stamford Bridge for fifteen years, as we beat Chelsea 1-0 despite the absence of Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard. El-Hadji Diouf was unjustly sent off, with his red card later rescinded, and Jerzy Dudek went off injured to be replaced by debutant Patrice Luzi for the last quarter of an hour, becoming the 52nd senior keeper in our history, and only the fourth man to never concede a goal in his entire reds career between the sticks, although this was his only senior outing.\n1978 - We lost at Stamford Bridge, being knocked out of the FA Cup at the Third Round stage. David Johnson and Kenny Dalglish bagged our goals as we lost 4-2. Steve Finnieston netted one of his four strikes past us, with Clive Walker bagging a brace and Tommy Langley also on target.\n1968 - Ephraim Longworth died in Liverpool.

He also became the first red to captain England. He then served as Reserve team trainer, before joining the ground staff.\nHappy birthday Emiliano\n1989 - Left-back Emiliano Ins\u00faa was born in Buenos Aires. He made 62 senior appearances, netting his only goal in our Carling Cup defeat at Arsenal in October 2009. He initially arrived on loan from Boca Juniors in January 2007 before signing permanently for \u00a31.675m seven months later. He joined Galatasaray on loan in August 2010, joining Sporting Clube de Portugal permanently a year later.\n2000 - Steve McMahon was appointed Blackpool Manager, with Gary Ablett arriving at the club on non-contract terms on the same day. He remained in charge of the Seasiders until June 2004, leading them to promotion via the play-offs in his first full season. Ablett only made twelve appearances for Blackpool before retiring.\n2012 \u2013 Ex-reds reserves midfielder Jim Magilton was named as Melbourne Victory boss. He stayed for just three months, winning only two of his twelve games in charge.\n2013 - Dean Saunders became Manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers, but he could not prevent them from being relegated to League One and was sacked after just four months in the job.\n2015 - Steven Gerrard announced that he would sign for LA Galaxy when his contract expired at the end of the season.

Future reds keeper Sam Hardy was on the losing side.\nTowards the Semi-final\n1998 - Extra-time strikes from Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler at St. James\u2019 Park took us past Newcastle United 2-0 and into the Semi-finals of the Coca-Cola Cup, where we went out to First Division Middlesbrough.\n1933 - We also beat the Geordies in a First Division game. Gordon Hodgson scored a brace, including one from the spot, with Dave Wright also on target in our 3-0 win.\nScouse git at Anfield\n1967 - Scenes for the BBC comedy Till Death Us Do Part, starring Warren Mitchell as Alf Garnett and Tony Booth, were filmed during our 2-0 defeat of West Ham United at Anfield. Peter Thompson struck both goals to send us to the top of the table, as well as hitting the post.\nKnocking the Sky Blues out\nWe have twice faced Coventry City in the Third Round of the FA Cup on this day in history.\n1961 \u2013 Inside-forward Jimmy Harrower struck his 22nd and final reds goal with Roger Hunt and Kevin Lewis also netting as we won 3-2 at Anfield, although we went out at home to Sunderland at the next hurdle.\n1970 - Bobby Graham struck our equaliser as we drew 1-1 at Highfield Road, although we won the replay 3-0 and got as far as the Sixth Round that season. Neil Martin had netted the last of his four goals against the reds.\nWearside stalemates\nWe have twice drawn with Sunderland on this day in history.\n1899 \u2013 We were held to a goalless top-flight draw at Anfield.\n1922 - We drew an FA Cup First Round tie 1-1 at Roker Park, with Dick Forshaw on target for the reds. We won the Anfield replay 5-0 but went out at the next stage, beaten at home by West Bromwich Albion.\nHonours even with Rovers\nWe have also twice shared the spoils with Blackburn Rovers on this day in history.\n1950 - We held them to a goalless draw at Ewood Park in the Third Round of the FA Cup, winning the replay as we reached the Final for the second time in our history.\n1911 - We were held to a 2-2 draw in a First Division match, with Jack Parkinson and Arthur Goddard on target for the reds. Johnny Orr scored the first of his five goals past us, with Billy Garbutt also on the scoresheet for the visitors.\nJohn signs on\n1957 - Centre-half John Nicholson signed as a professional, but he could only make one senior appearance before joining Port Vale in August 1961, playing over 200 League games for them.\n1987 - Ex-red Michael Robinson joined Club Atl\u00e9tico Osasuna from Queens Park Rangers. He struck twelve times in 59 La Liga games, and is now a well-respected pundit in Spain.\n2005 - Our FA Cup Third Round meeting with Burnley at Turf Moor was called off at the last minute due to a heavily waterlogged pitch. The game was staged eleven days later instead, when we lost 1-0 thanks to a comical Djimi Traor\u00e9 own goal.\nCameron\u2019s farewell\n1893 \u2013 Forward Jonathan Cameron played his eleventh and final reds game as we came from behind to win 2-1 at Heywood Central in the Lancashire League, thanks to goals from James McBride and Tom Wyllie.

        "raw_content": "TOP CELEBRITIES JOIN GLOBAL EFFORT TO PARDON 49,000 CONVICTED UNDER BRITISH ANTI-GAY LAWS ALAN TURING-INSPIRED PETITION RAPIDLY GAINING SIGNATURES - 140,000 AND GROWING\nFebruary 6, 2015 (New York, NY) \u2013 Entertainment and media\u2019s biggest figures, including the stars of THE IMITATION GAME, are coming aboard a worldwide movement to demand pardons for the estimated 49,000 men who, like Alan Turing, were convicted of consenting same-sex relations under UK anti-gay laws. Matt Breen, Editor-In-Chief of The Advocate and noted gay rights activist, started a petition centered around the cause at Change.org, urging the British government to clear those tens of thousands of names as they did posthumously for Turing.\nHaving collected over 140,000 signatures, the call to action has quickly been gaining traction with ardent support coming from all over the globe. Several celebrities, including Matt Damon, Michael Douglas, Jessica Alba, Ryan Reynolds and Bryan Cranston have signed on, and some have also taken the cause to social media platforms like Twitter, urging the public to follow suit in the call to action.\nBackers from THE IMITATION GAME include actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Allen Leech, Matthew Beard, Rory Kinnear and Alex Lawther, producers Nora Grossman, Ido Ostrowsky and Teddy Schwarzman, director Morten Tyldum, screenwriter Graham Moore and editor Billy Goldenberg.\nOther major celebrities standing by the petition include:\nAaron Taylor-Johnson, Alan Cumming, Alex Aja, Ben Winston, Bryan Cranston, Daisy Lowe, Dan Jones, Dan Rookwood, Douglas Booth, Dustin Lance Black, Emily Kinney, Gary Barlow, Graham Norton, Isaac Mizrahi, James Corden, Jason Collins, Jessica Alba, Julian Fellows, Kathy Freston, Lance Bass, Lee Daniels, Lindsay Fellows, Matt Damon, Matthew Morrison, Melissa Benoist, Michael Douglas, Myanna Buring, Ned Benson, Philip Noyce, Rachel Dratch, Rick Edwards , Rory O'Malley, Rosie O\u2019Donnell, Ryan Reynolds, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Stephen Fry, Tim Gunn, Will Poulter and Zac Posen\nCommented Tyldum: \u201cI recently received a letter from a 92 year-old man who was one of those prosecuted decades ago; he expressed how thankful he was for THE IMITATION GAME shedding light on the matter. It\u2019s incredibly moving to see the outpouring of support for this petition and men like him, who have deserved justice for so long.\u201d\nSaid Cumberbatch: \"Alan Turing was not only prosecuted, but quite arguably persuaded to end his own life early, by a society who called him a criminal for simply seeking out the love he deserved, as all human beings do,\" he wrote. \"Sixty years later, that same government claimed to \u2018forgive\u2019 him by pardoning him. I find this deplorable, because Turing\u2019s actions did not warrant forgiveness \u2014 theirs did \u2014 and the 49,000 other prosecuted men deserve the same.\"\nTWC released THE IMITATION GAME in select theaters on November 28th and nationwide on December 25th. The film, which was produced by Black Bear Pictures and Bristol Automotive, has been nominated for eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor (Cumberbatch), Best Supporting Actress (Knightley), Best Director (Tyldum) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Moore.) It was also nominated for 5 Golden Globe Awards, included in the American Film Institute\u2019s top 11 films of the year and nominated for 3 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Directed by Tyldum with a screenplay by Moore and produced by Grossman, Ostrowsky and Schwarzman, the film stars Cumberbatch, Knightley, Matthew Goode, Rory Kinnear, Allen Leech, Matthew Beard, Charles Dance and Mark Strong.\nDuring the winter of 1952, British authorities entered the home of mathematician, cryptanalyst and war hero Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) to investigate a reported burglary. They instead ended up arresting Turing himself on charges of \u2018gross indecency\u2019, an accusation that would lead to his devastating conviction for the criminal offense of homosexuality \u2013 little did officials know, they were actually incriminating the pioneer of modern-day computing. Famously leading a motley group of scholars, linguists, chess champions and intelligence officers, he was credited with cracking the so-called unbreakable codes of Germany's World War II Enigma machine. An intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man, THE IMITATION GAME follows a genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save millions of lives.",

It is an exercise to get more control over the body while we work it and tonificamos. But this action by using a number of tools can be enhanced as the Pilates hoop.\nAlways the workout routines should enrich themselves with the help of external additions. Currently, there are many variations of exercises depending on the external element that add you. But, in the case of the Pilates ring takes the cake, and it\u2019s one of the best ways that exist to enrich the most different exercises that make up the Pilates routines.\nPilates ring is just one It helps to achieve the objectives that we pursue with the workout routines. It\u2019s a circle, which normally would be rubber, provided a few grips side, and completely flexible, so that it can adapt easily to the contours of your body, what should prevail is the comfort of the exercise according to the fundamentals of Pilates, which must be soft and relaxed.\nRing is primarily used in the technique of Pilates that is carried out in soil and that is the most widespread, since in this case we do not have with resistance which opposed machines in other modalities. In this case ring will bring an added more than us will serve to improve training in floor sessions.

First of all we should highlight that its use will help us to isolate the most the smaller muscles of the body that normally I do not work. It activates them and affects them so we reinforce them thus improving the general State of our body in front of the effort.\nFirst and foremost the use of Pilates ring is a form of increase the resistance of the exercises. Why not is recommended to beginners, since it is a step that we must give as we acquire skill in the Pilates world. Should not be forgotten that Pilates exercises on machine can be a good alternative to the use of the ring, since the increase in resistance is noted, and the effects of this also.",

        "raw_content": "Japan Is Definitely Arms Racing With China\ntags: Izumo-class, JMSDF, PLAN, Tokyo, Washington DC\nThe JS Kaga at port. Via Wikimedia Commons.\nJapanese news have confirmed fresh orders of US-made fifth-generation F-35\u2019s in the coming year once the government approves its defense ministry\u2019s annual wish list. Tokyo\u2019s acquisition of multirole stealth fighters was never a secret to begin and the JASDF received its first F-35A\u2019s a few months ago. Japan and South Korea are the only East Asian countries to order the F-35A, a model designed for beyond visual range aerial combat and networked operations.\nWhat remains a matter of speculation is how many additional F-35\u2019s is Tokyo allowed to buy. A figure reported by Japanese media reaches 100 but this doesn\u2019t clarify whether these are F-35A\u2019s or vertical takeoff F-35B\u2019s.\nIn early 2018 members of Japan\u2019s defense ministry admitted it was possible for the JMSDF\u2019s \u201chelicopter destroyers\u201d to serve as light aircraft carriers, provided the fixed wing aircraft on them are VTOLs. But with the exception of the AV-8B Harrier there aren\u2019t any VTOLs manufactured anymore, except for the F-35B originally designed to match the US Marine Corps\u2019 requirements. If the JMSDF do adopt VTOLs their only viable choice is the F-35B for both its would-be Izumo-class carriers whose flight decks can accommodate at least 12 fixed wing aircraft each.\nOnce the acquisition of more F-35A/B\u2019s is approved by Washington, DC, their delivery to Japan won\u2019t happen overnight. In fact, it might take several years before the aircraft transform the capabilities of Japan\u2019s combat air fleet, whose mission is overwhelmingly territorial defense. But if Japan manages to reorganize its air force and navy with stealth fighters this gives it a distinct advantage over China, whose own territorial ambitions threatens Japan\u2019s borders.\nThe Chinese PLAAF and PLAN are still modernizing but the adoption of missile-armed long-range bombers, aircraft carrier strike groups, and \u201cfourth-generation\u201d stealth fighters means it\u2019s anticipating war over open seas. Although the formidable J-20 is saddled with inadequate engines, its design and performance characteristics suggests its missions include penetrating air defenses for strikes on sensitive targets. Once J-20 production ramps up in the 2020s (less than 10 are believed to be in service today) the arrival of China\u2019s next-generation strategic bomber and various jet-powered drones seen at the Zhuhai Air Show 2018 can overwhelm the defenses of its nearby adversaries.\nConsidering Tokyo\u2019s current efforts to reinforce its anti-ballistic missile defenses and the remote islands it controls, the introduction of genuine aircraft carriers gives the JMSDF striking power it has been missing for decades. In a hypothetical future crisis, an Izumo-class carrier with two dozen F-35B\u2019s can travel to a flashpoint with its own strike group combining at least four destroyers, a replenishment vessel, and two submarines, with anti-submarine aircraft and drones shielding their movements, and either discourage hostilities or neutralize an invasion force.\nWith two, maybe three, of these \u201ccarrier strike groups\u201d at its disposal, the JMSDF\u2019s role in the Indo-Pacific Quad is enhanced and a regional war can be averted in the medium-term. This is why ordering a hundred odd F-35A/B\u2019s is gravely serious. Should the deal pull through, the balance of power in East Asia swings to Japan\u2019s favor. At least for a brief moment.\nfrom \u2192 Aircraft, Aircraft Carrier, Asia, China, Japan, Pacific Ocean, Ships, United States of America\n\u2190 The Pakistan Military Wants Cybersecurity Help From Turkey\nWhat Expertise Do Risk Consultants Have? \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Hearty globetrotters are usually eager to get their hands on as many world facts as possible, usually preceding the next exotic or fanciful location that they\u2019re traveling to. If you\u2019re one of the lucky few that\u2019s going to brave the balefully frigid temperatures of Antarctica (or even if you just want to know more about the continent) we have facts that you\u2019ll want to read. Just as with any other location on Earth, there are quite a few myths surrounding the planet\u2019s southernmost continent. And separating fantasy from much more interesting facts is sort of our specialty.\nIf Antarctica has ever been on your personal radar, read on! This place has more to offer than popular knowledge will ever indicate, and we\u2019ve learned far more about it than most people know!\nWithout a doubt, you may think you know a fair bit about the fifth largest continent in the world. It\u2019s cold, it\u2019s barren, and supposedly, not a single inch of it is suitable for supporting human life. What we need to persist isn\u2019t sustainable, there, and even research expeditions don\u2019t inhabit the land there in any way that we might know as familiar. There are no town, certainly no cities, and no houses, in the traditional sense. Still, over a century of scientific discovery has given us quite a bit of information about this isolated and bleak environment. We know about its seasons, the soil, the ice, and the myriad forms of life that have adapted to live here.\nAnd even though humans might not number among them\u2014not without the safety of life-supporting research habitations\u2014that doesn\u2019t mean that any of the myriad facts surrounding this robust and abundant life isn\u2019t worthy of interest.\nThe southern continent of Antarctica is perhaps best known for being the location of Earth\u2019s southern pole. It\u2019s widely regarded as uninhabitable and has remained that way for many millions of years, having separated from greater landmass far earlier in Earth\u2019s relative life. Nevertheless, it\u2019s a massive expanse of land that\u2019s almost entirely covered with ice. In fact, the \u201csize\u201d of Antarctica itself expands and reduces based on the expanses of ice that build up on it.\nEven though there\u2019s far more life present on and around Antarctica than many might assume, it\u2019s comparatively barren when you stack it up against almost any other continent or region on the planet. Given that it\u2019s also the coldest documented region on the planet, perhaps that isn\u2019t so much of a surprise, after all.\nBelow, we\u2019ll highlight some of the more prominent aspects of the continent of Antarctica. We\u2019ll discuss the ever-fluctuating populations of people who only remain there seasonally. We\u2019ll also discuss the landmass\u2014which we\u2019re still learning much about\u2014as well as the surprising amounts of biological diversity present in this frigid region.\nWhile many of the regions\u2014countries, continents, and more\u2014that we discuss have a more tangible and stable population, Antarctica is something of an oddity. Because there isn\u2019t any consistent population in the ways that we normally recognize such a thing, the actual numerical population is harder to keep track of. Many of the things humans require to inhabit a place are nowhere to be found\u2014agriculture, temperate climate, or sources of food. What exists in Antarctica largely has to be brought in by those who are staying there.\nAnd there are people living in Antarctica, of course. The continent is a host for many research stations, directed, staffed and supported by a wide variety of different nations. Those populations are rarely more than several thousand at any given time and tend to fluctuate based on the current season in Antarctica more than anything else.\nAccording to an article from the UK-based Independent, 4000 is a close approximation of the maximum number of people that are living in Antarctica at the peak \u201csummer\u201d season. Occasionally, this number is bolstered by tour charters that take passengers into the frigid waters and tertiary isles surrounding Antarctica. And during the much colder months, that 4000 dwindles down to a number closer to 500, or even less!\nThe greater portion of this highly variable population belongs to a United States research base, and though it\u2019s a far cry from anything that we\u2019d think of as \u201ccivilization,\u201d many who are stationed there come to think of it as a sort of town. McMurdo hosts up to 1200 or more people during Antarctica\u2019s summer, most of them American workers. And of interest to our millennial readers\u2014it was the location of the very first Tinder date ever hosted on the continent!\nOne of the largest myths surrounding the continent of Antarctica has to do with its landmass. Many assume that it\u2019s made entirely of ice due to the frigid temperatures and frequent news about the formation of ice around the continent itself. However, this is actually false, as there\u2019s a great deal of mountainous terrain beneath Antarctica. So mountainous, in fact, that it greatly resembles the ranges of peaks that extend for thousands of miles, such as the Andes or Rockies. It points to the likelihood that the continent of Antarctica was originally separated from a greater landmass during Earth\u2019s tectonic history many million years before.\nOddly, much of Antarctica\u2019s landmass is still being mapped. The fact that so much of the continent is covered with ice\u2014more than 90% of it, at times\u2014means that specialized methods are needed for that mapping process.\nThe continent is divided into West and East Antarctica, which tend to differ from each other geologically. The western half of the continent is relatively rougher terrain, featuring thousands of miles of sharp mountain peaks. All geological study of Antarctica, however, points to it being part of that larger landmass that was once joined to other continents.\nAs we mentioned earlier, there\u2019s a wealth of biological diversity present in and around Antarctica, whether on the continent itself or on the many small islets surrounding it. However, even though life is surprisingly diverse, there isn\u2019t a massive amount of that life present. The harsh climates in and out of the water aren\u2019t conducive to great amounts of life living in the region.\nIf you\u2019ve been waiting for us to talk about penguins, then congratulations. Your wait has come to an end. This somewhat legendary bird has been a facet of mainstream media ever since their discovery, and Antarctica is the prime place that scientists have found to study them. And it\u2019s not the only species that receives extensive study. Whales, seals, and\u2026can we interest you in the colossal squid? Though the cephalopod is known to frequent numerous seas in the southern hemisphere, scientists have been shocked to discover that it potentially inhabits the frigid temperatures of the Antarctic region.\nAntarctica is also a part-time home for many species of birds that are capable of flight, such as gulls and the legendary albatross.\nContrary to what many popular films would have you believe, Antarctica is a dangerous place to inhabit for any amount of time. Any trained professional who has spent time on the content will usually be just as quick to talk about its potential dangers, as they are about its exquisite beauty. And many times, neither one of those things add up, exactly, to what we see portrayed in popular media.\nConsider John Carpenter\u2019s legendary horror film, The Thing, if you need a clear example. Ignore the science fiction aspects, and instead hone in on the fact that the actors in this film aren\u2019t wearing nearly enough protective gear for the cold environment that they\u2019re immersed in. If you end up in Antarctica, the temperatures will be among the coldest recorded on the planet. Thus, the protective gear that the continent\u2019s frequent visitors must use has to be the most protective available to them.\nWe\u2019ve also talked a fair bit about the biological diversity of Antarctica in this guide, but nowhere in it did we mention polar bears. The reason why? You\u2019re not going to find any polar bears on this continent, or anywhere else in this hemisphere of the world, for that matter. No matter how frequently you happen to have seen polar bears and penguins coexisting within the same habitats in popular media, know that it\u2019s entirely a falsehood. Polar bears inhabit the northern arctic regions of the planet\u2014not Antarctica.\nFurther Knowledge\nThere\u2019s plenty of further reading and viewing that you can find on the continent of Antarctica. It\u2019s been the focus of numerous documentaries, all of which help to shed light on both the dangers and unique beauties of Earth\u2019s southernmost continent. Films such as March of the Penguins highlight the lives and hardships of emperor penguins, the hardy species that has adapted to thrive within the harsh landscape of Antarctica. The documentary, Antarctica: A Year on the Ice, helps to reveal the necessary care that people have to take when they\u2019re venturing to this corner of the world. There\u2019s plenty more worth viewing, too. When combined, it shows just how much we\u2019ve come to learn about Antarctica.\nNext articleAustralia Continent",

        "raw_content": "Charles Stanley \u2013 Peace at Any Price?\nRelationships are one of life\u2019s greatest sources of joy. Yet they can also lead to some of our biggest trials. Let\u2019s face it\u2014we won\u2019t be able to get along with everyone, because we live in an imperfect world. Every human being has been affected by the fall and enters this life as a sinner. Furthermore, the fact that we are Christians is itself a source of conflict: Jesus tells us the world will hate us because we are His (John 15:18-20).\nDespite all these obstacles, we are to try to be at peace with all men. This means we should seek to resolve conflicts and do what we can to live in harmony. Scripture gives us the following guidelines:\nNever pay back evil for evil or take your own revenge (Rom. 12:17, Rom. 12:19).\n\u2022 Overcome evil with good (Rom. 12:21).\n\u2022 Love and pray for your enemies (Luke 6:27-28).\n\u2022 Practice frequent forgiveness (Matt. 18:21-22).\nThese principles all run counter to human nature; therefore, the only way to successfully apply them is through the power and grace of Jesus Christ. Yet despite our best efforts, peace is not always possible. When our overtures are repeatedly rejected, ending the quest may be appropriate. Or if harmony is possible only by violating Scripture, we must refuse to compromise.\nGod is the only one who can change the heart of someone who refuses to be reconciled. Our responsibility is to faithfully represent Christ to that person with our words, attitudes, and behavior.

Well, let\u2019s be honest, you\u2019re 13 in grade 7 and musical geniuses we were not \u2013 but we tried. He was committed. He loved that thing and even later, when he had stopped playing, he bought Candy Dulfer\u2019s \u201cSaxuality\u201d on CD and would play it night and day.\nThat album inspired me to want to be as good as she was. Do yourself a favour and give that album a listen. You just might find yourself at your local music store asking about lessons.\nThe sax solos in Quarterflash\u2019s \u201cHarden My Heart\u201d, Wham\u2019s \u201cCareless Whisper\u201d, Sade\u2019s \u201cSmooth Operator\u201d and Corey Hart\u2019s \u201cNever Surrender\u201d are some of my favourite of all time. I even made a corrugated paper saxophone for an elementary school performance of \u201cNever Surrender\u201d for a school talent show.\nTo this day I get goosebumps when I hear the sweet velvet tones of a saxophone. It is passion and desire, yearning and power all wrapped up in brass.\nNext postTalking Out Loud\n2 thoughts on \u201cSaxophone Music\u201d\nOMG \u2013 I used to play the clarinet in the 7th grade! Can you say \u2013 jam session! 80s hits jazz stylee!! \ud83c\udfb7\ud83c\udfb6 (Why is there no clarinet emoji! \ud83d\ude2d)\nIf you can find a clarinet, I will get the sax. Lol. I even know a couple brass players. We can do this. Lol",

New York, NY: McGraw-Hill, , http://accessbiomedicalscience.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?bookid=2073&sectionid=156818585.\nDysuria and bladder pain are two symptoms that commonly call attention to the lower urinary tract.\nDysuria, or pain that occurs during urination, is commonly perceived as burning or stinging in the urethra and is a symptom of several syndromes. The presence or absence of other symptoms is often helpful in distinguishing among these conditions. Some of these syndromes differ in men and women.\nApproximately 50% of women experience dysuria at some time in their lives; \u223c20% report having had dysuria within the past year. Most dysuria syndromes in women can be categorized into two broad groups: bacterial cystitis and lower genital tract infections.\nBacterial cystitis is usually caused by Escherichia coli; a few other gram-negative rods and Staphylococcus saprophyticus can also be responsible. Bacterial cystitis is acute in onset and manifests not only as dysuria but also as urinary frequency, urinary urgency, suprapubic pain, and/or hematuria.\nThe lower genital tract infections include vaginitis, urethritis, and ulcerative lesions; many of these infections are caused by sexually transmitted organisms and should be considered particularly in young women who have new or multiple sexual partners or whose partner(s) do not use condoms. The onset of dysuria associated with these syndromes is more gradual than in bacterial cystitis and is thought (but not proven) to result from the flow of urine over damaged epithelium. Frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and hematuria are reported less frequently than in bacterial cystitis. Vaginitis, caused by Candida albicans or Trichomonas vaginalis, presents as vaginal discharge or irritation. Urethritis is a consequence of infection by Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Ulcerative genital lesions may be caused by herpes simplex virus and several other specific organisms.\nAmong women presenting with dysuria, the probability of bacterial cystitis is \u223c50%. This figure rises to >90% if four criteria are fulfilled: dysuria and frequency without vaginal discharge or irritation. Present standards suggest that women meeting these four criteria, if they are otherwise healthy, are not pregnant, and have an apparently normal urinary tract, can be diagnosed with uncomplicated bacterial cystitis and treated empirically with appropriate antibiotics. Other women with dysuria should be further evaluated by urine dipstick, urine culture, and a pelvic examination.\nDysuria is less common among men. The syndromes presenting as dysuria are similar to those in women but with some important distinctions.\nIn the majority of men with dysuria, frequency, urgency, and/or suprapubic, penile, and/or perineal pain, the prostate is involved, either as the source of infection or as an obstruction to urine flow. Bacterial prostatitis is usually caused by E. coli or another gram-negative rod, with one of two presentations. Acute bacterial prostatitis presents with fever and chills; prostate examination should be gentle or not performed at all, as massage may result ...",

        "raw_content": "At some point over the course of your kids\u2019 childhood years, they will inevitably begin actively campaigning for the addition of a pet to the household.\nWhile most will choose more traditional animals like cats or dogs, there\u2019s a chance that their tastes will run a bit more towards the exotic.\nIn some cases, some smaller pets may even seem like a better choice to parents who aren\u2019t aware of the drawbacks that some common choices bring to the table.\nThese 10 pets are among those that you won\u2019t want to adopt if you\u2019re planning to have children in the near future, or if you already have little ones in the house.\nPrimates \u2013 Fictional characters may have their beloved primate sidekicks, but that doesn\u2019t mean that monkeys are a great choice for real-life families. In addition to being temperamental enough to cause very serious injury if provoked, keeping certain primates is illegal in some states. There are also ethical issues to consider, as many primates that end up on the pet market were taken from their natural habitat as babies specifically for sale as pets. Furthermore, certain types of primates can harbor herpes B, a disease that\u2019s potentially fatal to humans, and one that doesn\u2019t reliably show up during veterinary testing.\nTurtles \u2013 The hard shell of a turtle seems to indicate sturdiness and their slow pace can easily be mistaken for patience. In fact, some varieties of turtle can be very temperamental. Turtles commonly carry salmonella bacteria as well, which may make them unsafe for children that aren\u2019t vigilant about washing their hands properly after handling them.\nHedgehogs \u2013 Cartoon characters like Sonic make hedgehogs seem like ideal pets, but this isn\u2019t always the case. Hedgehogs are considered exotic pets and do require very specific environmental conditions to thrive. Not to mention the fact that their quills are sharp!\nFerrets \u2013 Small and fun to watch, ferrets can seem like the ideal choice for kids. They\u2019re actually quite prone to anxiety, however, and can lash out when they\u2019re threatened, making them dangerous for small children to hold. They also produce a musky smell that\u2019s difficult to mask, which could be a deal-breaker for adults in the house.\nHamsters \u2013 When most parents think of small, furry animals that would make a great starter pet, hamsters are at the top of the list. What you may not realize, however, is that they may be quite disappointing for the kids they\u2019re meant to entertain. Hamsters are naturally nocturnal, meaning that they will be sleeping while kids want to interact with them. Keeping a hamster in your child\u2019s room is also likely to affect his sleep schedule, as a hamster becomes active enough at night to make noises that could wake your child.\nSnakes \u2013 It\u2019s not difficult to convince most parents that snakes are a less than ideal choice for a family pet, but there are those that allow themselves to be swayed. Their feeding habits can be traumatic to small children, as they typically consume rats and other small rodents whole, and they can become much larger than anticipated. In such cases, families are left with a snake they cannot properly care for and may have difficulty finding a serpent-friendly family to take over responsibility for it.\nBig Cats \u2013 Most parents wouldn\u2019t dream of introducing a tiger, leopard or panther to their household, but keeping big cats as pets isn\u2019t unheard of. In fact, there are more tigers in private ownership now than thriving in the wild. Even if they\u2019re raised from tiny cubs, big cats are still essentially wild animals and will behave as such, which can have deadly consequences.\nKinkajous \u2013 These members of the raccoon family gained a small measure of popularity as an exotic pet when celebrity heiress Paris Hilton began appearing on the red carpet with one of her very own. They can be dangerous, biting and scratching when they\u2019re stressed, and can also carry Kingella potus bacteria, which can cause high fevers, severe headaches and stomach pains in humans.\nIguanas \u2013 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that as many as 93,000 people contract salmonella each year through exposure to reptiles, which up to 90% of iguanas have. Their claws are extremely sharp, and adults can weigh as much as 30 pounds. Bites from iguanas are fairly common, and can be very serious. They absolutely should not be kept in a house with small children.\nHermit Crabs \u2013 Many pet stores and even novelty beach-side gift shops sell hermit crabs in brightly colored shells that can be tempting to small children. While they\u2019re small, their pincers can be quite painful if they latch on properly. Furthermore, they cannot be handled or moved during their molting period, which lasts for roughly one week and can happen as often as once each month. Moving a molting crab will almost invariably kill it, giving small kids an early lesson about the life cycle.\nWhile these pets are not likely to be the best choices for households with small children, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that even trusted furry friends can be questionable. Though the environment in which your dog or cat is raised will have a huge bearing on how it behaves later, you should keep in mind that some breeds have a genetic predisposition to be better suited to life with children than others.\nBe sure you do your homework on any animal before you introduce your children to it and bring it into your home as a new member of the family.\nGood luck with your family pet hunting and thank you for your time!\nBABY SITTING JOB FINDER HERE: Paul Taylor",

Securing the plastic gloves on his hands, he opened the lid and frowned. He took out the trash bag inside and turned his head side to side. He reached into it and moved his hand around without touching anything that felt like a phone.\nComplaining annoyingly, he turned around and poured out all the contents of the garbage bag.\nIn the garbage bag, there was mud and some grass blades. He frowned and used his other arm to cover his nose. He then picked a broom and removed the rubbish on the surface.\nSeeing a cell phone lying on the grass, the man\u2019s face showed a touch of joy.\nFortunately, the cleaners has not yet collected the garbage. Otherwise, her mobile phone would have really been thrown away.\nHe stretched over a palm and grabbed the phone. He then brushed off the dirt and blades of grass covering it.

I don\u2019t care having one less fan!\u201d\nWhile grumbling, he had already taken the phone back to the living room. He wiped it with paper towels and disinfectants for more than twenty times before putting the phone on the table.\nJust as he finished, his phone rang. He reached to receive the call only to notice that he was still wearing gloves on his hands. He hurriedly get rid of them and answered the phone.\nOn the phone was Amy who serves as his sound Engineer.\n\u201cMr. Xicheng, this is Amy. Is the audio sample ready yet?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m going to try again.

He opened his phone and dialed his assistant\u2019s number.\n\u201cHelp me check out someone\u2019s phone number.\u201d\n\u201cAll right. Tell me, who are you looking for?\u201d\n\u201cA City\u2019s TV\u2026\u201d\nReferring to Ning Xiaofei, he stopped for a moment.\nWhat was that girl\u2019s name again?\nShe gave him her business card yesterday but he threw it away. Now, he has no idea what her name was. He couldn\u2019t recall her name at all.\n\u201cDamn it!\u201d Xicheng scowled and carefully called to mind last night\u2019s scene. \u201cIn short, she is a very young woman, about 20 years old and of medium height. She works in a TV station, I don\u2019t know. In short, help me check her out as soon as possible. Look for her number.\u201d\nThe assistant answered a bit embarrassed. \u201cThis\u2026 that might prove difficult to do. Why are you looking for her?\u201d\n\u201cI asked you to check her phone number not for you to ask too much! Right, buy one of the best notebook and bring it back. Something best for girls!\u201d\nAfter that, he tapped the end call button. He didn\u2019t want his assistant to know that he went through the trash can just to find a phone.\nGlancing at the phone on the coffee table, Xicheng marched upstairs.\nThe studio is still waiting for his sample mix. Because of that girl, a lot of time has been wasted. Now, he has to hurry up.\nGoing back upstairs, he looked around but didn\u2019t find he USB flash drive on the piano.\nWhat about the USB flash drive!\nLooking through the messy music scores, he bent down to look around and noticed the black USB in the corner of the bench. He immediately picked it up and plugged it into the computer. When a popup appeared on the computer, he double clicked to open.\nSeeing the files on the flash drive, Xicheng immediately stopped \u2013 \u2018Program Plan\u2019, \u2018Personal Data (Xicheng)\u2019, \u2018Personal Data (Yanwang)\u2019\u2026\nXicheng frowned in a daze, \u201cThis\u2026.

        "title": "Ghosts of Christmas Past \u00ab Welcome to Agincourt, Iowa",
        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Uncategorized \u00bb Ghosts of Christmas Past\nForty-five years ago, I was twenty-three years old, an undergraduate student studying architecture at the University of Oklahoma. It was the fifth year of what ought to have been a five-year program, but I was taking my time and had two years to go. The fourth of April was a Thursday, just as it is tonight.\nI can\u2019t tell you what classes I took that semester\u2014a studio with Fred Shellabarger and a couple of lectures; one of them might have been the Bauhaus seminar in the Art Department that was taught by an actual Bauhaus faculty member. I was also working part-time at Fred\u2019s architectural office.\nThe Department of Architecture at O.U. had an awesome visiting lecture program. During my time in Norman, I heard Lloyd Wright (son of you-know-who), Paolo Soleri, Louis Kahn, Robert Venturi, and a bunch of others. That night Victor Christ-Janer was scheduled in the department\u2019s lobby-gallery on the second floor of the stadium\u2014yes, the department was housed in half of the second floor and all of the stadium\u2019s third floor. I lived across Flood Street in a house we rented from Mrs Fluty for ninety bucks a month, split four ways. You do the math.\nSo, that afternoon, I probably worked a few hours at Fred\u2019s office on Asp Avenue, then walked to the Chi Omega sorority for my gig as a houseboy. I probably went home to change and then cross the street and climb a grim flight of concrete steps that took me to the Architecture Library and a long corridor past faculty offices and our branch of the university bookstore into the windowless lobby-gallery where chairs had been set up for the Christ-Janer presentation. My roommate Alan Tichansky was there as well; we worked together at Chi Omega, too.\nA few minutes before 7:00, the speaker arrived with a handful of faculty, though I don\u2019t think they\u2019d come from dinner. Christ-Janer was introduced and mentioned that he had come from his motel, resting before the talk. He spoke of receiving a phone call from his wife, turning on the TV and beginning to receive details of the Martin Luther King, Jr, assassination in Memphis just a few hours earlier.\nThose were tumultuous years (a word I don\u2019t use very often). Change was afoot, as it is today, but it was a vastly different sort of change. The pendulum moved to the left, toward social equity, racial justice, voting rights. Large segments of the American people imagined a brighter future\u2014I did\u2014but others resistant to change, for whatever reason, took a dimmer view. Five years earlier, while taking a shower in my freshman dorm, I heard about the assassination of John Kennedy in Dallas. And only two months from that Thursday lecture by Victor Christ-Janer I would hear about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in Los Angeles. Three major public figures\u2014three workers for the causes that gave increasing meaning to my life\u2014killed by assassins bullets in five years. That\u2019s the way we do it here in America.\n\u201cSecond Amendment remedies\u201d are what we call them now.\nThis is going to sound bizarre. Somehow, Victor Christ-Janer had told us the terrible news and then morphed so seamlessly into his lecture that the transition from the personal horror and the national shame of Dr King\u2019s death into a humanist\u2019s view of architecture seemed perfectly normal. We learned, for example, of Christ-Janer\u2019s battle with personal depression; of his resistance to the wiles of publication and what we would eventually call \u201cstarchitecture\u201d; of insisting that architecture might actually stand for something beyond fame and wealth.\nOf all those lectures I heard during my years in Norman, that Thursday night forty-five years ago may have been the most meaningful. But at what cost?\n\u2190 Six degrees of Kevin Bacon\tYour Solar House \u2192",

Army Air Forces.\nR.B.C. \"Bob\" Noorduyn was the son of a British-Dutch couple who began his long association with aircraft at the Sopwith factory in England in 1913. After immigrating to the United States in the early 1920s, he worked for Fokker (Atlantic Aviation division) and later Bellanca before he became interested in bush flying. In 1934, Noorduyn moved to Montreal and obtained backing for a new backcountry aircraft design.\nNoordyn took over the former Curtiss-Reid facility outside Montreal, and established Noorduyn Aviation in 1935. His first airplane was a medium-size, versatile transport aircraft. Known as the Norseman I, the aircraft was supposed to appeal to civil and military users who needed a rugged plane to operate from water (with floats), land (wheels), or snow (skis) in the severe climatic conditions found in the Canadian north. The prototype first flew on November 14, 1935, with a 420 horsepower Wright engine. It seated up to eight passengers and two crew in an enclosed and heated cabin. Noorduyn started producing the aircraft in 1936 as the Norseman II but soon found it was underpowered. Three Norseman IIIs followed with a 450 horsepower Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine, but the aircraft really came into its own as the Norseman IV powered by the Pratt & Whitney 550 horsepower engine. This version first flew on November 5, 1936, and became quite popular with Canadian bush operators.\nWhen the United States entered World War II, Noorduyn production moved into high gear. The Royal Canadian Air Force had already bought several dozen as navigational and radio trainers when the U. S. Army Air Forces (AAF) ordered seven Norseman IVs for service testing. When these proved their worth, the AAF ordered 749 more Norseman IVs as C-64A transports (later designated UC-64A). Three of these were diverted to the U. S. Navy as JA-1s, and the Army Corps of Engineers bought an additional six UC-64Bs fitted with twin Edo floats. In general, the Norsemans served as utility transports hauling passengers and cargo in remote areas around the globe.\nOne of the most famous stories about the AAF Norsemans involved Major Glenn Miller, the noted Big Band leader. On December 16, 1944, Miller and a small group boarded a Norseman in England and took off for Paris. His band was to follow soon after his arrival for a series of Christmas concerts. Miller was never seen again. Five decades later it came to light that the aircraft was probably lost over the English Channel due to a tragic accident. A Royal Air Force Lancaster bomber was unable to find its assigned target and, in keeping with standard operating procedures, jettisoned it bombs into the Channel as it returned to home base. Exhaustive research showed that the Norseman's flight plan put it directly under the Lancaster when the bomber dumped its bombs. Winter fog and weather prevented the Lancaster crew from knowing that anyone was below them.\nWhen the war ended, many Norsemans were sold as surplus in the civilian market. The military forces of Norway, Sweden, Indonesia, Australia, Brazil, and the Netherlands East Indies also bought them. But Noorduyn continued new production as well. He had retained the Norseman V designation for his first post-war model-\"V\" for Victory-and then sold the production rights to the Canadian Car & Foundry. Production continued in small amounts until December 1959. That month, the 904th Norseman rolled off the line, 24 years after the type first flew.\nNASM's example bears AAF Serial Number 42-5046 and is the third of the seven original service test aircraft. The Army accepted this airplane on September 21, 1942, and assigned it to the 29th Ferrying Squadron at Goose Bay, Labrador. By mid-1943, the Norseman was at Headquarters, North Atlantic Wing, Presque Isle, Maine. In October 1944, the Army transferred it to Grenier Field, New Hampshire, and then to Syracuse, New York, two months later. Just before VJ Day, the aircraft arrived at Freeman Field, Indiana. It was among the one hundred-odd Allied and Axis airplanes that General Henry H. \"Hap\" Arnold selected for the National Air Museum. The aircraft arrived at Orchard Place Airport, Park Ridge, Illinois, on May 22, 1946, with just under 438 total flight hours on the logbooks. The Smithsonian accepted the airplane from the Air Force in 1960 and stored it at the Paul Garber Facility in Suitland, Maryland.\nNoorduyn Aviation Company Ltd.\nOverall: 10ft 2 1/16in. x 51ft 6 1/8in. x 27ft 10 5/8in., 4680.4lb.

Gang rape of a girl under 12 years of age will invite punishment of jail term for the rest of life or death.\nThe measure also provides for speedy investigations and trial. The time limit for investigation of all cases of rape has been prescribed, which has to be mandatorily completed within two months.\nThere will also be no provision for anticipatory bail for a person accused of rape or gang rape of a girl less than 16 years.\nIt has also been prescribed that a court has to give notice of 15 days to a public prosecutor and the representative of the victim before deciding bail applications in case of rape of a girl fewer than 16 years of age.\nNeed for a stringent law\nThe number of reported cases of rapes of children increased in India by 82% in 2016 compared to 2015.\nA climate of violence, social and economic insecurity, alienation, and a progressive undermining of the status of women and children seem to have given an impetus to carry out crimes against women and children.\nTherefore, the legal system must give a clear signal that we as a nation consider the rape of children below the age of 12 as among the most heinous of offences.\nIs it sufficient to curb present crimes?\nStatistics have not been able to prove or disprove the efficacy of capital punishment as a deterrent.\nWhile the U.K. has seen an increase in murders since 1965 when capital punishment for murder was removed from the statute book, Canada has not seen any such impact since it abolished the death penalty in 1976.\nThe underlying socio-economic conditions in a society that cause crimes seem to have as much of an impact on the increase or decrease of crimes as the law does.\nThe uses of alcoholic and narcotic substances have increased the frequency of heinous crimes.\nLoopholes in the laws against crimes in India\nInadequate Legal Structure with change in nature of crimes.\nDifficulties in Obtaining Proof and use of non-scientific enquiries.\nInadequate legal backing for witness.\nLack of Resources & Training.\nInadequate number of courts at lower levels.\nLack of Co-ordination between state and centre.\nProblems of coordination in the government.\nCivic engagement is not conducive for a people friendly law and order management.\nIssues with in the Indian judicial system\nThe pendency of cases. It eroded the faith in the criminal justice system. Similar to justice delayed is justice denied.\nCorruption prevails right from the lower level to top.\nLack of transparency (particularly in the appointment of judges).\nUnder trials of the accused.\nLack of accountability in carry out criminal investigations against serving justices.\nLack of information and interaction among people and courts.\nWhy reform of criminal justice system is necessary?\nAs per the latest figures there is a pendency of more than three crore cases out of which almost two crore cases are criminal cases. The arrears have a tendency to compound each year and could, if uncorrected, lead to the collapse of the judicial system.\nBesides, criminal Law of India is a replica of colonial times. It is hostile to the poor and the weaker sections of society.\nAlso, the way criminal justice is designed and administered today hardly serves any of the purposes for which it is set up: towards securing life and property\nIt does not deter criminals because of the delay and uncertainties involved in its processes and ridiculously ineffective punishments it imposes on those few who get convicted.\nIt provides wide discretion to the police and the prosecution, rendering the system vulnerable to corruption and manipulation and endangering basic rights of innocent citizens.\nIt ignores the real victim, often compelling him/her to find extra-legal methods of getting justice.\nIt also puts heavy economic costs on the state for its maintenance without commensurate benefits in return.\nAlso, more than 30 million criminal cases are still pending in the system. And another 10 million or more cases are being added every year\nRecent initiatives: Supreme Court is ready to go live on camera while the government mooted a separate TV channel for live-streaming court proceedings.\nModern organized crime constitutes a global challenge that must be met with a concerted, global response.\nThe police department has to been given a free hand to deal effectively with troublemakers.\nMost importantly no politician should give patronage to the criminals in lieu of money or power.\nMost of the crimes are communicated through wires or internet; thus, the cyber security needs to be strict and under continuous surveillance.\nThe government should introduce hi-tech software and machineries in order to keep a track on the high alert areas.",

We evaluate vehicles, components and materials as part of these analyses, from the first design sketches through production and use, down to disposal, because a vehicle does not use energy and generate emissions in its usage phase alone. Since the environmental impact varies in the different phases of the lifecycle, we take a range of measures to make mobility as environmentally friendly as possible.\nThe lifecycle inventory is the first step in the assessment. We compile data for this on every material, component and step in the process. The data provides a picture of all of the emissions in the air, water and ground, and of the waste generated during the entire lifecycle. In addition, the lifecycle inventory indicates how much primary energy is used for the complete life of a car and the amount of emissions that are generated, such as CO2, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, or methane.\nThe potential environmental impact of a vehicle is estimated in the second step. The various material flows from production, usage and recycling are then allocated to the environmental impact categories \u2013 the greenhouse effect, summer smog, acidification, ozone depletion and overfertilization.\nThe final step is certification in accordance with the ISO EN 14040 standard. Volkswagen uses external experts, for example the German T\u00dcV Nord inspection organization, to verify that it has acted in compliance with this standard; it presents the results of the lifecycle assessment transparently in the form of an environmental commendation. In the reporting period, for example, the new Golf was awarded such a commendation, which documents ecological progress compared with the previous model over the entire lifecycle.",

Bhumibol's death at age 88 after a reign of seven decades sparked a national outpouring of grief and a year of mourning that will culminate with his cremation on Oct. 26. (Bureau of the Royal Household via AP)\nOfficial commemorations of Bhumibol were organized at Bangkok\u2019s Siriraj Hospital, where he died, and at Government House and the ornate royal palace. But many ordinary people showed their respects on the streets, at neighborhood markets and temples, kneeling before orange-robed monks to perform a Buddhist merit-making ritual.\n\u201cYou see his achievements on TV sometimes, but now that he has passed we are learning about so many other things he has done for the country,\u201d said Panicha Nuapho, 66, who traveled from a province 330 kilometers (205 miles) north of Bangkok to pay respects at Siriraj Hospital. \u201cThis is my final send-off,\u201d she said, weeping.\nOutside the hospital, mourners clad in black offered alms to a long procession of Buddhist monks and several thousand packed its grounds, joining nurses and doctors in prayers as monks chanted over loudspeakers.\nBhumibol\u2019s death at age 88 after a reign of seven decades sparked a national outpouring of grief and a year of mourning that will culminate with his cremation on Oct. 26. More than 12 million people, or nearly a fifth of Thailand\u2019s population, have visited the palace throne hall where the king\u2019s body has been kept for the past year.\nThe reverence Bhumibol inspired was in part the result of decades of work by palace officials to rebuild the prestige of the monarchy, which lost much of its influence after a 1932 coup ended centuries of absolute rule by Thai kings. That effort built an aura of divinity around Bhumibol, who was protected from criticism by draconian lese majeste laws, but the king was also genuinely adored for his charitable work, personal modesty and as a symbol of stability in a nation frequently rocked by political turmoil.\nThailand\u2019s military government has asked the public to observe 89 seconds of silence Friday at 3.52 p.m., marking the official time of Bhumibol\u2019s death in what Thai culture emphasizes was his 89th year.\nAt the same time, nine elephants powdered an auspicious white will kneel with their handlers in memory of Bhumibol in the ancient royal capital Ayutthaya outside of Bangkok.\nHis son, King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarankun, knelt before a portrait of the late king and Queen Sirikit at Dusit Palace and is expected to preside over merit-making ceremonies on Friday and Saturday. Many people flocked to the palace area and left flowers beneath a giant portrait of Bhumibol.\nPrime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, the head of Thailand\u2019s ruling junta which seized power in a 2014 coup it was said was necessary to restore political stability, oversaw ceremonies at Government House.\nThe military, which frames itself as the monarchy\u2019s most important defender, has used Thailand\u2019s harsh lese majeste laws with increased frequency in the past three years. The law allows for prison of up to 15 years for anyone found guilty of insulting senior members of the royal family.\nSupporters of the law argue that the monarchy is a sacred pillar of Thai society and must be protected at all costs. Critics say the law is being used to silence dissent.\nA Thai mourner poses for a photograph while paying respects in front of a portrait of the late Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej close to the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand, Friday, Oct. 13, 2017.

        "raw_content": "CRIN, in partnership with the International Commission of Jurists, has put together a practical guide on how to use the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child\u2019s 16th General Comment, which focuses on State obligations regarding the impact of the business sector on children\u2019s rights, to make the recommendations and guidance provided in General Comment 16 a reality. The guide also provides examples of how NGOs have intervened on behalf of children, as well as advice on litigation, monitoring, advocacy and activism on behalf of children.\nThe impact of business on children is often overlooked by many human rights advocates and while attention given to the impacts of business on human rights has increased recently, the ways in which children are affected by business operations have not yet attracted sufficient attention. CRIN and the ICJ hope that this guide goes some way to filling this gap and will be a useful starting point for further research and discussion.\nBusinesses can have a huge impact on children, with the potential for violations of their rights present in virtually every industry. There are also vast power imbalances between children and business and, often, prohibitive costs involved in litigation against companies which have violated children\u2019s rights. Such cases are frequently settled out of court, while in many countries children do not even have standing to bring cases on their own behalf.\nViolations of children\u2019s rights continue to take place despite States\u2019 obligations to cooperate to achieve the realization of children\u2019s rights beyond their territorial boundaries. Ultimately this means that non-governmental organisations (NGOs) must work together to push for change alongside governments if children's rights are to be respected.\nguide_gc_16_2016-03_web_version1.pdf",

        "raw_content": "Review of Shepherding a Child\u2019s Heart\nWhen I read a review on a new book called Shepherding a Child\u2019s Heart, by Tedd Tripp, I was quite interested. I purchased the book a year and a half ago and have read it through two times, planning to reread it once a year. The things Tedd Tripp said about our children\u2019s hearts made sense.\nWe do not deal simply with behavior issues, but rather with the heart from which the behavior comes. If, by the firmness of my discipline, I gain the compliance of my child\u2019s actions but not his heart, we still have a long way to go. Mr. Tripp says, \u201cA change in behavior that does not stem from a change in heart is not commendable; it is condemnable. Is it not the hypocrisy that Jesus condemned in the Pharisees? In Matthew 15, Jesus denounces the Pharisees who honored Him with their lips while their hearts were far from Him. Jesus censures them as people who wash the outside of the cup while the inside is still unclean. Yet this is what we often do in child-rearing. We demand changed behavior and never address the heart that drives the behavior.\u201d\nThis book dealt with how we can use situations in our homes that require discipline or teaching to help our children look at their hearts. Rather than addressing a fight over a toy by trying to determine who had it first, we are encouraged to show each child the sinfulness in his heart that caused the offense. Mr. Tripp encourages us with, \u201cYour concern is to unmask your child\u2019s sin, helping him to understand how it reflects a heart that has strayed. That leads to the cross of Christ. It underscores the need for a Savior. It provides opportunities to show the glories of God Who sent His Son to change hearts and free people enslaved to sin.\u201d\nThis is important to me. Although I do desire good behavior and attitudes in our home, my greater desire is for my children to learn to see their sin, ask forgiveness for it, and seek Jesus\u2019 help in forsaking it. Good behavior and attitudes will naturally result from this. My children struggle with kindness toward each other practically every day. As a mother, I would much rather have a child who humbly admits his selfishness and asks forgiveness for it than one who pridefully defends his behavior. I also tend to be more lenient with a child whom I feel has a genuinely repentant heart than with the one who cannot, or will not, admit fault.\nMr. Tripp also says, \u201cYou must understand, and help your child to understand, how his straying heart has resulted in wrong behavior. How did his heart defect to produce this behavior? In what characteristic ways has his inability or refusal to know, trust, and obey God resulted in actions and speech that are wrong? . . . You must learn to work back from the behavior you see to the heart, exposing heart issues for your children. In short, you must learn to engage them, not just reprove them. Help them see the ways that they are trying to slake their soul\u2019s thirst with that which cannot satisfy. You must help your kids gain a clear focus on the cross of Christ.\u201d\nI have not found this to be easy for two reasons. First, it takes time to have these discussions with a child, and often they are needed at an inconvenient time. Second, I will sometimes not be able to convince my child that his behavior was wrong. He will strongly defend what he has done, usually based on what another did to him. Often, if I confront him with a question, which asks him if Jesus would be pleased with his behavior, the answer is rather simple. Whether it is easy, or whether the time is readily available, it is my goal to address the heart of my child. That is one of the main reasons we homeschool. What better use of the time even if it does interrupt Joseph\u2019s math or John\u2019s phonics? As a matter of fact, this year I have planned extra time into my one-on-one school with each child so that I will have time to handle interruptions when they need to be addressed.\nMr. Tripp also mentions, \u201cSecondly, you must be actively shepherding the Godward orientation of your children. In all of this you must pray that God will work in and around your efforts and the responses of your children to make them people who know and honor God.\u201d The longer Steve and I parent, the more we see our need to be constantly crying out to the Lord for wisdom in parenting our children, for our children\u2019s hearts and attitudes, and for their future and direction. Our own efforts may produce \u201cgood\u201d children, but we want children whose hearts are turned fully to the Lord. This will not come about if Steve and I are only faithful in our personal walk with the Lord. We must also fulfill what He has called us to as parents, being totally dependent on the Lord to work in the hearts of our children.\nThere is much more that this book talks about, which I do not have the space for in this Mom\u2019s Corner. I have read many Christian books on raising children. Most of them have a focus on manipulating a child\u2019s behavior but don\u2019t deal at all with the heart from which that behavior comes. I think Shepherding a Child\u2019s Heart is a valuable resource for our homes. I hope, if you have not read it and choose to, that it will give you encouragement and direction.\nShepherding a Child\u2019s Heart, Shepherd Press, P.O.

They further argue that consumers need this information because they are paying higher deductibles and co-pays out of their own pockets.\n\u201cAmerican consumers deserve to have as much information about the quality and price of their health care as they do about restaurants, cars, and household appliances,\u201d they conclude. Click here to see the report.\nOhio, under the leadership of the Kasich administration, became the first state Medicaid program to participate in Catalyst for Payment Reform (CPR) in January 2012. CPR is an independent, national non-profit organization that leverages the collective strength of private and public sector healthcare purchasers to achieve better value and quality in health care. The organization represents consumers, purchasers, labor, health care providers payers and policymakers;\nOn January 9, 2012, the Governor's Council on Health Care Payment Innovation adopted the following CPR principles as a starting point to prioritize and coordinate multi-payer health care payment innovation activities in Ohio:\nPayment reforms should promote health by rewarding the delivery of quality, cost effective and affordable care that is patient-centered and reduces disparities.\nHealth care payments should encourage and reward patient-centered care that coordinates services across the spectrum of providers and care setting while tailoring health care services to the individual patient's needs.\nPayment policies should encourage alignment between public and private health care sectors to promote improvement, innovations and meeting national health priorities, and to minimize the impact of payment decisions of one sector on the other.\nDecisions about payment should be made through independent processes that are guided by what serves the patient and helps society as a whole, and payment decisions must balance the perspectives of consumers, purchasers, payers, physicians and other health care providers.\nPayment policies should foster ways to reduce expenditure on administrative processes (e.g., claims payment and adjudication).\nReforms to payment should balance the need for urgency against the need to have realistic goals and timelines that take into account the need to change complex systems and geographic and other variations.\nhttp://catalyzepaymentreform.org/Principles.html",

It\u2019s a cost of $29 per month or $290 per year, when opting for the yearly payment program.\n\u00b7 Guru: This program has the same basic plan options, including Live Visitor Count along with Hot Streaks in addition to a 10K visitor cap. It\u2019s a price of $79 a month.\n\u00b7 Business: This plan has the same Pro plan options, such as Conversion Cards and Priority Support.

It\u2019s important to say that these pros and cons have been determined following the facts and opinions from multiple users in order to have a greater awareness of comprehension about exactly what it is that makes Proof such a viable (or not-so viable) choice that you use.\n\u00b7 The major instrument of Proof is the notifications of the activity of the people on your web site, that are shown to be viewing your website or purchasing something on your site, which results in a considerable increase in conversions. This is quite useful because it motivates your prospects to take actions that they otherwise would not have, unless they saw proof that others had been doing exactly what they might have been reluctant about.\n\u00b7 A small but very valuable feature is that the live visitor counter; this helps to provide a clearer idea of the reach of your page and functions as a snowball that increases over time; this links quite nicely with the first benefit.\n\u00b7 The platform features a version perfectly accommodated to mobile devices. If you\u2019re the kind of person who must travel a lot or you are not frequently on your notebook, then this will be the ideal choice for you.\n\u00b7 The price tag, particularly the top plans can be somewhat excessive especially compared to its closest rivals, so for someone without high purchasing power it may be too much to shell out upfront with this software.\n\u00b7 Something which can be a little absurd but that some people don\u2019t like is that the impossibility of removing the Proof logo. Best It Podcasts\nProof Is a system that will offer a means for your new to standout and it\u2019s Going to help you in the several ways that could increase your conversions. While It may be somewhat pricey, it\u2019s also worth taking into consideration how useful It is and how much of a difference it can do for you in the short and long term.",

In 2018, diesel fell 29.6% to record a market share of just 31.7%. In December, the fuel fell 26.3%. This is despite new emissions tests showing diesels deliver in the real world. Growth in registrations of petrol (8.7%) and alternatively fuelled vehicles (20.9%) throughout 2018 replaced some of the loss but not enough to offset the full shortfall as many diesel owners adopt a \u2018wait and see\u2019 approach, keeping hold of their older, more polluting vehicles for longer.\nThe strong growth in the AFV market was led by petrol-electric hybrids, growing 21.3% to 81,156 units across the year. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) grew 24.9%, albeit on smaller numbers, however, the SMMT reports that growth is slowing following the removal of the government\u2019s plug-in car grant for these vehicles from October.\nDemand for PHEVs grew almost 30% in the first ten months, but year on year increases fell to 3.1% and 8.7% in November and December respectively. Pure electric cars (EVs), meanwhile, grew 13.8% in the year but, with just 15,474 registered, they still make up only 0.7% of the market. Given the reduction in government incentives, the pace of growth of plug-in cars is now falling significantly behind the EU average.\nPollution rising\nThe figures come as the SMMT publishes data showing the UK fleet average CO2 rose for a second successive year, by 2.9% to 124.5g/km. This is despite the investment by manufacturers in more efficient cars, including EVs, with the average new or updated model emitting 8.3% less CO2 than those they have replaced. The rise is significant, considering last year CO2 rose just 0.8% on 2016 when the diesel market fell 17.1%.\nAccording to the SMMT, diesels are, on average, 15-20% more efficient than petrol equivalents and so have a substantial role to play in addressing climate change. The association says that gains made by the sector since CO2 records began in 1997 (when the new car fleet average was 189.8g/km) are being undermined by the shift away from diesel and disappointing growth in alternatively fuelled vehicles.\nMike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, comments: \u2018A second year of substantial decline is a major concern, as falling consumer confidence, confusing fiscal and policy messages and shortages due to regulatory changes have combined to create a highly turbulent market. The industry is facing ever-tougher environmental targets against a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty that is weakening demand so these figures should act as a wake-up call for policymakers.\n\u2018Supportive, not punitive measures are needed to grow sales because replacing older cars with new technologies, whether diesel, petrol, hybrid or plug-in, is good for the environment, the consumer, the industry and the exchequer.\n\u2018Despite the overall decline in 2018, demand for new cars in the UK remains solid, with volumes on a par with the preceding 15-year average and the market still the second biggest in the EU, behind Germany. It is also one of the most diverse, with buyers able to choose from some 350 different models available in fuel types and body styles to suit all driving needs.\u2019",

        "title": "Scaring Away the Demons: An Interview with Fashion Designer and Artist Christophe Coppens Autre Magazine",
        "raw_content": "Scaring Away the Demons: An Interview with Fashion Designer and Artist Christophe Coppens\nOne might expect someone with the credentials of Christophe Coppens \u2013 internationally acclaimed avant garde fashion designer, official milliner for the Belgian Royal Family, former theatre actor and director, burgeoning artist \u2013 to be radically unapproachable. Instead, Coppens shakes your hand warmly, orders iced tea at an outdoor caf\u00e9, talks about his love for cheap avocado toast and the 20s style bungalows in Silverlake. Perhaps this is why Coppens jumped the brutal, fast-paced, capitalist boat of the fashion industry circuit five years ago, abandoning his label to pursue art.\nA lot of other designers have recently jumped the same ship, and have actually found refuge in Los Angeles \u2013 namely Hedi Slimane, who left Saint Laurent after an incendiary three years at the helm of the label. But there is something more to Coppens, underneath the surface of his accomplishments, even his openness. As we discuss his oscillations between different worlds, pieces from his newest exhibition, \u201c50 Masks: Made In America,\u201d twirl on mechanized pirouettes in the gallery window, the likes of which include: the American flag stitched into a terrifying ape mask, displaying its sharp teeth (\u201cTrump Mask\u201d); a mask made from a plastic bag filled with red and blue prescription pills (\u201cRefill Mask\u201d). The masks explore the many faces of the American cancer \u2013 mass food production, erasure of Native Americans, the oppression of women. All the while, a macabre a cappella version of: \u201cIt\u2019s a Small World\u201d plays on the loudspeaker. It is clear that Coppens isn\u2019t in the art business as merely a cop-out of the fashion world. Coppens calls leaving the design industry \u201cmy freedom.\u201d This does not just mean freedom from obligations, investors, and employees. Through art, Coppens has room to be truly controversial and avant garde, to talk about the things he wants to talk about, to make good work.\nWe got to talk to the artist about his past life as a star of the fashion world, his new life as a Los Angeles artist, and all the energies and excitements in between.\nOLIVER KUPPER: You started out training for theatre, as an actor and a director?\nCHRISTOPHE COPPENS: First as an actor, until I realized I wasn\u2019t a very good actor. I was always fighting with the directors and teachers. So I thought, \u201cOkay, I will direct myself.\u201d I went to a theatre school and said, \u201cI want to direct.\u201d They said, \u201cWe don\u2019t care; as long as you\u2019re here, you\u2019re going to act.\u201d Through acting, I founded a small company during school, and I directed plays in the evening. I always did sets and costumes for my plays. I needed accessories \u2013 hats and stuff. I went to a lady, 87 years old, living in a small village, asking for her help in making these pieces. She said yes, so I went for a weekend. Since then, for a whole year, I went every weekend. At the end, I had a collection, and Elle Magazine Belgium sent me to Paris fashion week. I quit school.\nKUPPER: So that\u2019s what brought you out of acting and directing?\nCOPPENS: Yeah. I love a lot of things about theatre and performance, but I also enjoyed the process of doing something on my own and only showing it when it\u2019s ready. It was a breath of fresh air at that moment. But everything I did then influenced, always, my work \u2013 my shows, my exhibitions, my collections, my photos, my display in stores. It\u2019s always there, the stage, the light, and the sound.\nKUPPER: You like the theatrical aspect of fashion?\nCOPPENS: Yeah, amongst other things. I like the impact things can have on stage.\nKUPPER: You grew up in Belgium?\nCOPPENS: I\u2019m from a small village near Antwerp. I moved to Brussels when I was eighteen or nineteen.\nKUPPER: Did you have an early interest in fashion, or was it something that came later? Antwerp is known as the place for a lot of incredible designers.\nCOPPENS: I had a studio as a kid. The attic was my studio. I always made stuff, and then I invited people over for my \u201cexhibition\u201d or \u201cfashion show.\u201d I always had a little bit of a problem to choose, which is still an issue today. I like different things, which is not, career-wise, the smartest thing. I don\u2019t care anymore. I just want to do whatever feels right. It\u2019s all connected at the end, even though it can look very different.\nKUPPER: I wanted to ask about the Antwerp 6. That sort of environment bred a lot of great fashion. Was there something in the air?\nCOPPENS: Oh yeah. It was super exciting to see people like Walter [van Beirendonck] and Dries [van Noten]. I was always in awe, but never in awe enough to go to fashion school, because I thought, \u201cOh, I\u2019ll have to stop doing theatre and make choices.\u201d I quit theatre school in my last year because they made me choose. Suddenly, I was in all these magazines, and they said, \u201cTheatre or fashion.\u201d\nKUPPER: Did you ever get a chance to meet any of those designers?\nCOPPENS: You know, it\u2019s a weird thing in Belgium. Antwerp is Antwerp, it\u2019s very protective. I have very good contact with Walter, for example, but that\u2019s the only one. Everything else is quite closed.\nKUPPER: When you had your fashion label and doing the fashion week circuit, you showed a lot in Paris and Japan. Were those the main ones?\nCOPPENS: We showed Paris, sometimes Milan. Mainly Paris, twice, or four times a year when I had men\u2019s accessories. And Japan was my biggest market. I showed in 150 stores, and I had a store of my own in Tokyo.\nKUPPER: It seems like the Japanese were really appreciative of your work.\nCOPPENS: First of all, Japan is a great country to start. They like everything new. You can go really fast there. But then the trick is, a year or two later, there is something else new. Then it becomes really hard to keep it going. We did that for twenty years. To keep it relevant and to stay on top, I went four or five times a year for promotion tours, events. I really worked that market because I love Japan. I have many friends there. My collaborations there were some of the best I ever did. From my old life, that\u2019s what I miss the most.\nKUPPER: Did you like the fashion week circuit?\nCOPPENS: Oh no, I hated it. Also, it\u2019s changed so much. At the risk of sounding old, when I started, it was so different. It was exciting to go to fashion week. It was rather small, also. There was this one small accessory fair, Premiere Classe, which became huge after. It became about something else. The last five years of my career in fashion, I was fairly unhappy, because it was no longer about the things I wanted to be about. There were many people who could still have a beautiful career, of course, and beautiful houses and labels. But I got stuck in this system of having to grow in order to survive. In the end, it\u2019s all about, \u201cThey need a red scarf because Dries Van Noten has red pants, so we have to make more red scarfs.\u201d You\u2019re competing in these price ranges that are ridiculous. I could never afford my own stuff. You try to make cheaper stuff, to do collaborations with bigger stores, and they had stuff that was only $10. Everything was slipping through my fingers. It\u2019s not what I wanted. I started doing all my free work in secret, because it was influencing the market and the customers. I would have people in my company say, \u201cDon\u2019t show that too much, it will scare away the Royal Family.\u201d I felt trapped.\nKUPPER: Speaking of the Royal Family, how did you become the official milliner for them?\nCOPPENS: One princess called when I was really young. I worked for the Royal Family for fifteen years. It was fun. There were two milliners of the Royal Family. I enjoyed it, but it\u2019s a niche. It was interesting, as an exercise, because there\u2019s so much protocol and so many rules. There\u2019s so much that you have to think of. It\u2019s not about you; it\u2019s about them, how the photos will look, how the audience will take it. My best memories are with Queen Paola.\nKUPPER: Did they have a specific preference of style, or did they like the avant garde aspect?\nCOPPENS: That was always the fight. The other milliner was very classical \u2013 well crafted, but very classical. It came in waves. I would do something that was a bit too risqu\u00e9, and I wouldn\u2019t hear from them for two or three months.\nKUPPER: It seems like a lot of designers are coming to LA. What do you think it is about LA that is such a refuge? Is there more space?\nCOPPENS: For me, it\u2019s all about a certain freshness. I like that LA has moved from the underdog position, culturally, after all these years. People used to talk about LA like it was culturally flat, but a lot of things could brew underneath the surface. I like that attitude. Suddenly, all these things pop up that are much fresher than other cities. The city itself is so magical. There\u2019s so much in it, so many layers. It feels, at times, like New York in the 70s. It\u2019s very exciting.\nKUPPER: And it seems far enough away from the fashion world.\nCOPPENS: To be honest, the fashion world is no longer my world, hasn\u2019t been for five years now. That\u2019s when I quit\u2026 It\u2019s about everything. It\u2019s about the energy of a small restaurant and an avocado toast that is amazing, cheap, and fresh. It\u2019s not tired. There\u2019s no pretention here. I really like that. It would be very hard to imagine living somewhere else again. We\u2019re very spoiled here.\nKUPPER: Do you feel like you\u2019re disowning the fashion past, or are you disowning the industry?\nCOPPENS: I love fashion, still. It\u2019s just that, in my journey, I got stuck. I was in a boat that had to go on and on with stuff and obligations and banks and investors. I had no clarity or vision how to steer that boat. I had to pull the plug, which was a very aggressive and very hard. I had a high price to pay for my freedom, because I lost everything and had to start from scratch. But that was the only choice. It was that or jumping off a bridge. My assistant from five years ago, then, suddenly got a very heavy cancer. And I was like, \u201cI\u2019m next if I\u2019m going to do this. This is no longer okay.\u201d There is a big problem in the fashion world. But now, nobody talks about anything else.\nAbout a year ago, I was asked to be the head of a master\u2019s program at the Sandberg Institute. We start from the urgent question, \u201cWhat\u2019s next in fashion?\u201d It\u2019s all about those questions, from designing, to sustainability, selling, financing, consuming. We have twelve students to ask all these questions. It\u2019s very refreshing for me to see how the young generation looks at all of these things. It\u2019s surprising; the last thing they want to do is go to Paris Fashion Week. They don\u2019t think like that. They stay at home, work in their kitchen, sell at their friend\u2019s store.\nKUPPER: What\u2019s the dream now for these students?\nCOPPENS: They\u2019re very socially aware. They\u2019re incredible. Talking about sustainability is almost out of fashion; it\u2019s obvious. It\u2019s incredible. We\u2019re going to publish a book next year. Walter is involved also, and other amazing people form all over the world.\nKUPPER: Do you see your fashion designs as in a conversation with the art you make now, or are they separate?\nCOPPENS: When I stopped, I was fairly radical in it. I was like, \u201cNow, it\u2019s all about sculpture and painting.\u201d People would ask me to make accessories for them, and I would say, \u201cNo, this is my new life. This is the way I\u2019m going to tell my stories.\u201d I did four shows like that. But I must say now, five years later, I\u2019m much less uptight about it. The masks could be confused with my older work, but I don\u2019t think so. It\u2019s not pretty. I just use this medium and my couture tools from the past to tell these stories. I could not tell the same stories in a painting; it would be way too heavy or obnoxious. I like this medium that is very light. Then, you can hit stronger. For example, one of my friends, Roisin Murphy, asked me to make masks for her tour. I\u2019ve been making masks for the tour and these videos for the past year now.\nKUPPER: Is that where the idea came from?\nCOPPENS: No. I wanted to do a show with masks, but it got delayed because I sent all the masks I finished to her\u2026 How do you name these things? Is it an accessory? I don\u2019t think so. You can wear it, yes. Frankly, I really don\u2019t care anymore. Before, I did, I know that it really worked against. Now, I think times have changed.\nKUPPER: It seems like you\u2019re distilling everything to have the ultimate freedom to create what you want to create.\nCOPPENS: Totally. For example, in those four years, I had some shows and did some art fairs. A big part of the art world is boring. Very unattractive, very unappealing. I was thinking, \u201cIs this what I now want? Is this repeating the same story in a new crowd?\u201d It\u2019s not very interesting. I like this [Please Do Not Enter] much more. It\u2019s much fresher and more modern. To say, \u201cLet\u2019s have an art show, and then we\u2019ll have clothes out front, and then we\u2019ll put out perfume.\u201d That\u2019s how we look at things. That\u2019s how we look at Instagram and look at images all day. When I go to galleries most of the time, the life is outside and everything inside is dead.\nKUPPER: There\u2019s no movement to it.\nCOPPENS: No, and it bothers me. There are amazing galleries, of course. There are artists who have an amazing career who should show there, I guess.\nKUPPER: What does \u201cthe Mask\u201d mean to you?\nCOPPENS: A lot, actually. My father is a very respective art dealer in primitive art. All my life, I was surrounded with these skulls and brilliant masks from Borneo and Oceania. Always, when I saw a book about mask making, I would buy it. I like the idea of what the mask could mean today. Is it tribal? Is it a disguise? Today, what can you say with your mask? In a way, it\u2019s still about scaring away the demons or trying to evoke something. I wanted to do a show about America, now that I have moved here. Masks were the first thing that popped up. Maybe you wouldn\u2019t see it in the show, but I really love America.\nKUPPER: America has a strange, conflicting history.\nCOPPENS: As a European, you\u2019re raised with American pop culture \u2013 that\u2019s how you learn to speak English, those are the songs you sing, the TV series, the movies. It\u2019s always there. But then you move here at 42, and suddenly, you see all these other layers. You read the American newspapers; you watch the American news. So then there are all these things that are conflicting with what you were taught. There are all these things that you don\u2019t like or understand. When we agreed to do the mask exhibition, it wasn\u2019t the idea to do it about America. But the first mask I made was the \u201cTrump Mask.\u201d From there, there was no way back. I cannot make a pretty mask with pretty feathers. Then, I started making a mask about Native Americans, racism, the empowerment of women. The first group was all about the empowerment of women, even though they look very sexist. That\u2019s the game I\u2019m playing. I\u2019m trying to show things that are quite obnoxious, even though that\u2019s not my opinion.\nKUPPER: How does satire play into your masks? Do you think about that?\nCOPPENS: Yeah, and surrealism also. It\u2019s almost like a political cartoon, a caricature. It\u2019s enlarging an idea. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s cynical, to be honest. I always try to show them in a fresh way. You might look at it briefly and say, \u201cOh, this is pretty and new.\u201d But there are deeper themes.\nKUPPER: If you had to design a mask for yourself, what would it look like?\nCOPPENS: I made three. They\u2019re on the floor. That\u2019s a mold of my face. I see myself cleaning. That\u2019s my face, scrubbing the floors.\nKUPPER: How did you create the soundtrack for this exhibition?\nCOPPENS: I always loved creating the music. My show \u201cThe Hills Are Alive\u201d in Tokyo was about a gift store in an antique park that doesn\u2019t exist. Like, when you do a ride at Disneyland, and you get out and buy all the stuff that you just saw. We did the store, with a cashier and everything. For that, we made a beautiful soundtrack. For this show, it went very fast. I knew exactly what kind of music I wanted. A lot of it has pop culture references \u2013 movies, TV shows, commercials. There are many weird variations on \u201cIt\u2019s a Small World.\u201d\nKUPPER: What\u2019s next after this?\nCOPPENS: There\u2019s a second year of the school. There\u2019s a lot of work to do there. I was asked, and I am going to do some directing in Europe; a big dream come true. Then I want to do another show in LA. I want a big, empty space; it\u2019s an installation, experience piece.\nChristophe Coppens \"50 Masks Made In America\" will be on view until July 16, 2016 at Please Do Not Enter, 549 s.

        "raw_content": "220: Mastering the Art of Bouncing Back with Barry Michels\nHollywood psychotherapist Barry Michels talks about dealing with failure and how to bounce back even stronger.\nHow to identify and defeat your inner saboteur\nAn approach to getting over energy speed bumps\nHow to bounce back faster from failures\nBarry Michels has a B.A. from Harvard, a law degree from University of California, Berkeley, and an MSW from the University of Southern California. He has been in private practice as a psychotherapist in Los Angeles since 1986. He\u2019s referred to as one of \u201cthe most sought-after shrinks in Hollywood.\u201d His client list boasts top writers, actors, producers, CEOs, and other creatives. In his books and public events, he shares the same Tools they use behind closed doors with their clients.\nBarry\u2019s Book: Coming Alive with Phil Stutz\nWebsite: TheToolsBook.com\nPast episode: 164:Brad Stulberg\nPast episode: 120: Beatrice Chestnut\nBook: Paradise Lost by John Milton\nBarry Michels Interview Transcript\nBarry, thanks so much for joining us here on the How to be Awesome at Your Job podcast.\nThanks so much for having me, Pete.\nWell, so I understand you and I have a shared experience when it comes to having a book and receiving many, many rejection letters from publishers. Can you tell me about that for you?\nYes, this was years ago. I think it was a couple of decades ago. I wrote a book on what our new book is actually about, it was about the life force, and I was kind of young at the time and I was really nervous about sending it out to publishers. And I sent it out and I think I got upwards of 30 to 35 rejections, just one after another after another after another. And, of course, it was awful on one hand. But on the other hand, I looked back on it actually as a turning point in my life because I had to learn how to bounce back. I just had to learn to be more resilient that I had ever been there.\nAnd bouncing back is one of the qualities that my co-author and I regard as the most important qualities for success because we\u2019re all going to hit setbacks, we\u2019re all going to get rejected. Things are not always going to go the way we want them to go, and you have to accept that. The really important quality that\u2019s necessary for success is being able to get over it and move on quickly.\nNow you work with a lot of actors and actresses, right, in your practice?\nYes, actors, writers, agents, it\u2019s pretty much, yeah, whatever you do in Hollywood, that\u2019s who I treat.\nWell, yeah, I imagine that that is a world just full of experiencing rejection and ego wrapped up in it, and so you have an experience that serves you well, I guess, with this clientele.\nIt does. It really does because, yes, you\u2019re right, particularly for actors and writers, there\u2019s a tremendous amount of rejection. In fact, if you haven\u2019t been rejected there\u2019s no way you\u2019re going to be successful because you haven\u2019t been putting yourself out enough. And it\u2019s the ones who are most willing to tolerate rejection who end up the most successful because they learn to be tough and to be resilient and to bounce back quickly.\nOkay. Well, that\u2019s encouraging stuff. And you share some of these messages in your newer book Coming Alive. Can you share with us sort of what\u2019s the main idea of it and why is it important here and now?\nSure. We called it Coming Alive after a quotation from the Irish novelist Oscar Wilde who basically said, \u201cMost people don\u2019t really live, they just exist.\u201d My co-author and I have treated, over the last three or four decades, thousands of patients who all basically experience the same thing. They have this sense that they could be living a more joyful life where they\u2019re more confident, more adventurous, and where everything they do feels more meaningful.\nNow the thing is they\u2019re right. It\u2019s actually possible to really come alive, and they\u2019re right to yearn for it. What they\u2019re usually wrong about is thinking that it\u2019s easy, and it isn\u2019t and it doesn\u2019t happen automatically. In fact, it\u2019s a fight, and the fight is against something that we call an inner enemy, a kind of an inner saboteur that uses your worst habits to sabotage you.\nIf your habit is to procrastinate it\u2019ll get you to procrastinate on a big assignment and won\u2019t be as good as you wanted it to be because it was too rushed. Or it\u2019ll get you to stay up drinking the night before a big presentation and so you\u2019re kind of off. It\u2019s not as tight as it should\u2019ve been. The most common form that this inner saboteur takes that pretty much everybody can identify with is just that voice in your head that\u2019s constantly putting you down, \u201cYou\u2019re a loser.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ll never amount to anything.\u201d \u201cOh, God, don\u2019t try that.\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ll just embarrass yourself.\u201d\nNow we give the enemy a name so that you can identify it and overcome it right in real time. Now we call it Part X. It\u2019s Part X because it\u2019s only part of you. There are other parts of you that can fight back. And it\u2019s X essentially because it X\u2019s out your potential. It\u2019s always trying to diminish you. And if your listeners take nothing else away from this podcast, I\u2019d like them to learn to identify Part X right at the moment it attacks them, just to say to themselves, \u201cThat\u2019s Part X, that\u2019s my enemy. I\u2019m not going to give into it this time.\u201d Just outing it like that over and over and over again goes a long way toward defeating it.\nOkay. Now, I\u2019m intrigued. So enemy, Part X, inner saboteur, you know, these terms, it\u2019s clearly a bad guy.\nIt serves of something, it\u2019s intriguing. I\u2019m thinking about this in terms of when you\u2019re dealing with it, I guess there\u2019s a number of approaches. I think some might say to just notice it and let it go. Others might fight it or try to sort of starve it out by never giving it any attention. So, what are some of like the most effective ways to, I don\u2019t know if the right word is to conquer or overcome or dissipate, but whatever, triumph, one way or another, over this force? You said one key thing you can do is just, right there and there in the moment, identify it as Part X and sort of get some perspective. What else do you recommend?\nWell, what we do in the book is we give tools. Tools are basically weapons with which you can fight Part X. They\u2019re very brief five- to ten-second procedures usually involving some visualization, but a very quick kind of visualization that you can use in your mind right at the moment Part X is attacking you. And Part X tends to attack the qualities that are most important to your success. And my co-author and I have identified three qualities that are really crucial to anyone\u2019s success no matter what it is that they\u2019re doing.\nThe first is high energy, which I can talk more about in a moment. The second is resilience which I talked a little bit about before, just that ability to bounce back when you have a setback. And the third is the quality of self-control essentially, being able to control your worst impulses. It might not seem like controlling your impulses, when you\u2019re at home, off the job, are important to your work ethic but they are incredible. What you do when you\u2019re not at work really affects the kind of energy you bring when you are at work.\nSo these are qualities that you can work on not just at work but when you\u2019re at home, when you\u2019re out with friends, basically all the time. And you\u2019ll see that Part X tries to undermine them consistently.\nOkay. Well, so now I\u2019m intrigued and certainly want to really dig into the tools here, and five to second procedures sound great. That\u2019s so quick.\nAnd so, maybe before we dive right in, if maybe there any sort of skeptics in the crowd, like, \u201cOkay, we got a Hollywood-trained guy with his fancy terms,\u201d you know, can you share anything that might provide a little bit of underpinning associated with the, efficacy or validity or success stories?\nAll I can tell you is that \u2013 God, this sounds like bragging, and I really don\u2019t mean to sound that way \u2013 but my patients very frequently come to me and in the first session leave saying, \u201cYou have given me more in one session than I\u2019ve had in three years of psychotherapy previous to this,\u201d because both Phil and I, my co-author and I, are very good at getting really to the core of what\u2019s holding you back. Whether you want to call it Part X or your inner enemy, we don\u2019t really care about language.\nBut whatever it is that\u2019s holding you back, we\u2019re very good at identifying it and we\u2019ve very good at giving you very specific tools, procedures, to overcome it. Now it\u2019s up to you to then go out into the world and use those procedures. We can\u2019t make you do that and we\u2019re not going to follow you along at your job. But someone who\u2019s willing to listen and take in what we say and use the tools, literally I\u2019d say 100% of the time comes back and says, \u201cWow! That really helped.\u201d Now they\u2019ve got to keep it up over time. There\u2019s no magic to this but anecdotally I\u2019ve never seen a therapy that is this effective before.\nAll right. So, maybe before we jump into the tools, can you share a little bit of how do we go about doing some of that identification of the Part X to begin with?\nSure. Well, let me talk about these three qualities \u2013 energy, resilience and impulse control. Energy is a really important quality for success. What makes people shine at work isn\u2019t what you\u2019d expect. It\u2019s not IQ, it\u2019s not the college you went to, it\u2019s not the family you grew up in, it\u2019s not even the number of successes you\u2019ve had. More than anything else it\u2019s the level of energy you have.\nThe most successful guy I treat basically runs the entertainment industry in L.A. He went to a college I\u2019d never heard of. He never thought that he was smart and he suffered a million setbacks. But this guy does more before breakfast than most of us do in three months because he\u2019s so high energy. So the question for a therapist becomes, \u201cHow do you increase someone\u2019s energy?\u201d And anyone can increase their energy.\nThe answer is, \u201cEvery single day take small steps that you would not ordinarily take because they require energy you don\u2019t think that you have.\u201d Let me say that one more time because it\u2019s a long sentence. Every single day take a small step that you wouldn\u2019t ordinarily take because it requires energy you don\u2019t think that you have.\nSo examples. It\u2019s the end of the day, there\u2019s always a difficult telephone call or an email that you don\u2019t really want to send. It\u2019s the end of the workday and you\u2019re tired, and normally you would leave. Take the phone call. Send the email. When you get home, and you would normally zone out in front of the TV or spend very little time with your spouse or your kids, you\u2019d make kind of a quick exit. Instead focus on your spouse and your kids.\nOr let\u2019s say you go home and you don\u2019t have a family but you\u2019d normally get takeout. Actually prepare a meal. Now I know the average person is thinking, \u201cWhat does that have to do with my job?\u201d What it has to do with your job is that if you do small things that you don\u2019t normally think you have energy to do, it expands your energy system. And the more expansive your energy system becomes the more successful you are at work.\nOur assumption going into these things is that our energy is finite. I know it sounds woo-woo but our energy is not finite. It\u2019s infinite. It\u2019s like we think we start the day with like ten marbles worth of energy and we\u2019ve used nine and we\u2019ve only got one by the time we go home, and we got to hold that last marble or anything. But the truth is we\u2019ve got an infinite number of marbles. And I challenge people to test this out. Do things you don\u2019t think you have the energy to do. The more you do them you\u2019ll get more energy from it.\nI experienced this myself again like 20, 30 years ago when my kids were really small and I was seeing as many patients as I could possibly see, far more than I could see now. I mean, I was seeing 10 to 12 patients a day, so you can just take a moment and imagine what it\u2019s like to have 10 to 12 people complaining miserably at you all day long. You go home exhausted. And I always felt bad because I wanted to bring the best I could to my family just like I had to my patients.\nAnd what I decided to do, just to literally test out this proposition of limitless energy, is to act as if I had all the energy in the world. And the strangest thing would happen is I would walk through the door and I would pretend I had a lot of energy, and within five to ten minutes I actually had more energy than I ever thought I had. So it made me a better parent, it also made me a better therapist. And there\u2019s a specific tool in the book by which you can increase your energy that way.\nWell, now I love it and let\u2019s go there in just a moment. So I guess I\u2019m thinking back to a previous guest we had, Brad Stulberg, and he sort of shared that the general growth formula, whether it\u2019s in energy or fitness or capability of all sorts, was stress + rest = growth, and I thought that made sense to me. And so it sounds like you\u2019re kind of emphasizing the, what you might call the stress side of take one more step, do something you don\u2019t think you can do, a little bit of pushing yourself, act as if you have all the energy in the world. And so I just want to think about this for a sec from like if there\u2019s a go, go, go, go, go sort of ambitious side, which I\u2019m subject to as are some listeners, what\u2019s the thought with regard to the rest side of the equation?\nWell, I\u2019m glad you asked that actually because I\u2019m 63 so I\u2019m getting to the age where I do not feel like I have unlimited amounts of energy. But what I still do when I get tired, and I get physically tired sometimes during the day, it\u2019s not just like avoidance or anything, is I still push myself a little bit. I use something called experimentalism which is I find a really effective tool.\nExperimentalism is an attitude. It basically says, \u201cPart X is telling me I don\u2019t have any more energy, and maybe it\u2019s right, maybe it\u2019s wrong. Let me do an experiment because I never want to be absolutely sure about anything until I\u2019ve tried it.\u201d Okay? The experiment is essentially \u2013 and it\u2019s usually writing that I have to do because I\u2019m a writer. So what I will do is set a timer for 10 minutes, I will write for those 10 minutes and try to put myself into it as much as I possibly can. And if, at the end of the 10 minutes, I\u2019m still truly exhausted, I\u2019ll close my computer and take a nap, and that\u2019s absolutely fine with me.\nBut what I do find is that, I\u2019d say 70% to 80% of the time, just the overcoming of that block, just the willingness to try, it actually brings more energy up from my unconscious and I get really involved in what I\u2019m writing. The timer will go off and I\u2019ll keep writing for another hour. So, believe me, I\u2019m not saying that people should overdo or stress themselves out or, God forbid, really break down their body. You don\u2019t have an unlimited amount of physical energy.\nIf you need to sleep, you need to sleep. But at least test the assumption that you have because, in my experience, most people assume that they have no energy when they really do. And if you can get over that hump, often you find reserves that you didn\u2019t know you had.\nAll right. That\u2019s great. So you already shared some tools there when it comes getting more of that energy, sort of taking one more step that you wouldn\u2019t have taken, experimenting and giving it a 10-minute trial, see how it goes, we\u2019ve got that acting as if. So, then, you said you had another one.\nYes. The second quality is resilience, that was the story that I told about the getting rejected 30 times. Resilience is simply the ability to get back up when you\u2019ve been knocked down, and it happens all the time. An idea that you proposed gets rejected, or a rival gets promoted over you, or suddenly you\u2019re good at public speaking but you get tongue-tied in a meeting and you kind of sound like an idiot.\nMost people in our experience are really bad at recovering from these things. And the reason is we don\u2019t like to think that we\u2019re going to fail sometimes. It\u2019s almost like we\u2019ve embodied the old Vince Lombardi quote, \u201cWinning isn\u2019t everything. It\u2019s the only thing.\u201d And in a certain sense it\u2019s a terrible philosophy because if winning is the only acceptable thing, that leaves us completely unprepared for the inevitable which is you\u2019re not always going to win.\nIf you\u2019re prepared for the occasional failure, the occasional setback, you\u2019ll actually recover faster. So I like the quote from the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius who said, \u201cOur greatest glory is not in never falling, it\u2019s in rising whenever we fall.\u201d So this really speaks to the difference between real confidence and false confidence.\nFalse confidence is this kind of unconscious belief that bad things won\u2019t happen to us. Real confidence is the certainty that bad things will happen to us and the certainty that we will recover because we\u2019ve recovered so quickly and so many times in the past. So resilience is another incredibly important quality in terms of success. And, again, that\u2019s something that you can practice all day every day. It doesn\u2019t have to just be at work.\nOkay. So, then, in terms of picking yourself up and rising and having the certainty and expectation that this is going to happen, is there anything else to do or think or say\nWell, in the book we actually teach a tool called the mother tool. I don\u2019t have to go into all of the details of the tool, but when you think about it, just think about a toddler falling down and starting to cry. At that moment it needs love and support to get back up. Now a toddler gets it from his mother or his father. As an adult, we don\u2019t want to rely on our moms and dads anymore, they might not be alive, but what we can rely on is what Carl Jung, the father really of psychoanalysis, called the archetypal mother.\nThe archetypal mother is not your mother or any real person, it\u2019s just the essence of mother energy, meaning that there\u2019s a source of love, unconditional love in the world, there\u2019s someone out there who loves you as you are, with all of your strengths and all of your flaws, and who believes in you unreservedly. She says your potential even when Part X has convinced you, you don\u2019t have any.\nWhat the tool teaches you to do is to visualize the archetypal mother and feel her smiling at you confidently, and that\u2019s what allows you to get back up again and keep going. Again, it may sound woo-woo. You don\u2019t have to believe that any of this is real. Just try the tool and see if it helps, because 90% of the time it actually helps. And if it helps you that\u2019s great. If it doesn\u2019t, fire us. We\u2019re not here to win converts.\nWell, yeah, it\u2019s funny when you say converts, because what I\u2019m thinking of is, \u201cOh, yes, I\u2019m familiar with that concept, and it\u2019s God,\u201d I guess from a Christian Catholic perspective of which is my background here, it\u2019s kind of like that\u2019s the idea, is that God and the Trinity is an eternal exchange of love, and that\u2019s just what God is.\nThat\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m talking about. And, again, people sometimes object to the word God or higher power or whatever. We\u2019re really not dogmatic about the kind of language we use. But when you\u2019re able to rise back up again, often it helps to feel like there\u2019s something greater than you helping you get back up. And to the extent that you can visualize and really feel it, it becomes real to you.\nSo, let\u2019s see. Now I\u2019m looking at some of the terms you\u2019re using. So did we cover the vortex when it comes to the energy piece?\nNo, that\u2019s the tool for energy, for increasing your energy, and it works.\nYeah, and it works essentially on two symbols. The symbol of the sun, which, after all, is the symbol for abundant energy. The sun is going to last virtually forever, and the symbol of the number 12 which is the symbol for completion. There are 12 hours on the hands of a clock, there are 12 months in a year, 12 apostles, etcetera.\nWhat you do with this tool is you visualize a circle of 12 suns over your head and you silently direct a plea for help to those suns. And you imagine that pleading for help starts the circle spinning and that creates a kind of a gentle tornado-shaped vortex. It\u2019s just like the tornado in the Wizard of Oz but it\u2019s not violent, it\u2019s not destructive, it\u2019s gentle. You, then, relax and just allow the vortex to lift you up through that circle into a world of infinite energy.\nAnd once you\u2019re above that circle, you feel yourself growing into like a giant size with unlimited energy. It\u2019s almost like you\u2019re filled with helium, you get so large, and you move through the world without friction or resistance. Now, again, that whole visualization takes five or 10 seconds, and again, you may feel skeptical of it first, many of my patients do. But once I get them to try it they can actually feel themselves elongating and getting stronger and getting filled with this kind of energy that then allows them to take the next natural steps that they wouldn\u2019t normally take. And if it does that, we\u2019ve done our job.\nOkay. So we\u2019re imagining 12 suns, and they\u2019re spinning, they\u2019re rotating, and then so doing it forms a vortex which sort of transports us kind of like a tornado in the Wizard of Oz, and that\u2019s the visualization.\nThat\u2019s exactly right. That\u2019s exactly right.\nWell, you\u2019re right, it\u2019s something I have not done before. It\u2019s intriguing, but you\u2019re right, if it\u2019s 10 seconds and has the potential for high impact it\u2019s certainly worth a shot.\nExactly. And all of these things, interestingly enough, have mythological antecedence. There was a race of gods prior to the Olympian gods that most of us are familiar with, like Zeus and Hera, etcetera. They were called the Titans and they were mythical beings that were not governed by physical forces, like the force of gravity, so they grew to enormous size.\nAtlas, if you\u2019ve ever heard of him, was a Titan and he held up the sky. So you can almost think of the Titans as pure life, beyond anything we can imagine, and they were conquered by the Olympian gods and thrown into the deepest pit in the earth called Tartarus which is really a symbol for our own unconscious.\nSo what Phil and I like to think is that the Titans live inside our unconscious, and the tool is essentially getting you to identify with the Titans and feel that titanic energy coming up from inside of you and making you grow tall like the Titans were. Again, you don\u2019t have to believe in any of this literally, but if you can feel the mythological antecedence of it sometimes that actually helps you use the tool.\nLet\u2019s see, we\u2019ve covered the energy piece, we\u2019ve covered the resilience piece, you mentioned the self-control as well.\nExactly. Now, we\u2019ve become a society that is unbelievably impulsive. We eat out of control, we drink out of control. I see people who can\u2019t stop themselves from updating their social media. When my phone pings indicating that I have a text or an email, I\u2019m like Pavlog\u2019s Dog, it\u2019s hard for me to resist, even if I\u2019m doing something important that I shouldn\u2019t interrupt.\nNow, why does that matter? It matters because when you indulge your impulses without realizing it, you are essentially organizing your life around self-gratification. You\u2019re organizing it around what you can take in rather than what you can give out, and that\u2019s not going to make a very happy life for you. It\u2019s also not going to make for a very productive life.\nWhen you give out more you do better at work. I mean, I have a perfect example of this. I treat a very hard-charging Hollywood agent, but when I first met him\u2026\nI\u2019m just thinking Ari Gold from Entourage right now.\nExactly. Exactly. He used to stay out late every night drinking, carousing, I mean, just wild kind of life, and it was affecting his work. And I got him to cut down and go to bed earlier on week nights. He didn\u2019t have to quit drinking entirely but he really got it under control. And you know what happened, is within weeks, people at work started to tell him, \u201cWhat happened to you? You look so much healthier. You don\u2019t realize it but you always used to come in here looking like you were hungover.\u201d I mean, he was mortified at the realization that he wasn\u2019t hiding this. Everybody knew what was going on.\nThe other thing that happened to him was that he became much, much more confident. As he began to control his drinking he became better at public speaking, he became better at networking with his superiors because he didn\u2019t have this like shameful secret inside of him. Confidence, again, we don\u2019t really understand confidence very well. You cannot be confident if you can\u2019t control your urges. Think about it. If you can\u2019t control your urges then you\u2019re living a life that could go off the rails at any moment.\nSelf-confidence is the knowledge that you don\u2019t have to gratify yourself. You can live through the pain of depriving yourself. So, just to give you another quote, Lao Tzu, who\u2019s the founder of Taoism, said, \u201cHe who conquers others is strong, but he who conquers himself is mighty.\u201d That\u2019s the sense that you get when you can control your own impulses.\nThat\u2019s valuable, and especially, I think, in this age of distraction in terms of it can really be quite debilitating to be awesome at your job if any sort of email or text message ping is enough to derail you from focused work. So, then, what\u2019s the five- to ten-second tool here?\nThe tool is called the black sun and it\u2019s a fascinating tool. Let me explain the philosophy behind it. So think about this for a moment, if you crave something outside of you, whether it\u2019s ice cream, a cigarette, you\u2019ve got to read the latest news, you\u2019ve got to answer that text, then think about it. Something must be missing inside of you, right? If there weren\u2019t some emptiness inside you wouldn\u2019t feel impelled to fill it in the outside world. You\u2019d have more of a take-it or leave-it attitude.\nNow sometimes you can control that with sheer willpower. It\u2019s like, \u201cI want to answer the text but I\u2019m not going to. I want to. I\u2019m not going to. I want to. I\u2019m not going to.\u201d And that\u2019s good if you can control it with willpower but the problem is it keeps the focus on the outside world as the source of what\u2019s going to fill you up inside.\nSo what would happen if you gave up on the outside world ever filling you up, since it never really has, and instead pay attention to that inner emptiness? Now this is something most of us have never done and it takes some courage but that\u2019s where the magic starts. If you can stare into this empty void inside of you and just stay calm the nothingness turns into somethingness. It turns into something that can fill you up.\nNow, to construct an actual tool we had to come up with a symbol of that somethingness, and we came up with the symbol of the black sun. A black sun just looks like the sun at the moment of a total solar eclipse. The sun is a symbol of infinite potential and warmth and life that can fill you up inside, but we black it out to remind you that you\u2019ve obscured it by constantly going to the outside world to try to fill yourself up. So the outside world has eclipsed your inner strength.\nIn practice, how does one look at the emptiness or nothingness inside?\nYeah, let me just walk you through the tool and you\u2019ll get a flavor for it, and anybody who\u2019s listening can use this at the same time as long you\u2019re not driving because you\u2019ve got to close your eyes. So think of a specific situation where you typically give in to an impulse \u2013 you overeat, you drink too much, whatever it is.\nGreat. Now step one of the tools is imagine that you cannot have what you want and feel the deprivation of it intensely. You can\u2019t have it. It\u2019s painful not be able to have it. Now, let go of the thing that you wanted. It\u2019s almost like it no longer exists.\nI\u2019m imagining it crashing to the ground. But when you say let go, what do you mean?\nI mean, let it go. Let it crash to the ground.\nOkay. There\u2019s a bottle of delicious wine shattering in the kitchen. Is that what we\u2019re going for?\nThat\u2019s perfect. Now what I want you to do is go even further and imagine that the entire outside world disappears, it\u2019s no longer a source for you, and instead I just want you to turn inward and look at the emptiness inside of you. Just imagine is as a void or a vast empty space, and all I ask you to do is breathe, stay calm, stay still, and face the void. In fact, be curious about what\u2019s down there.\nNow, from the depths of the void, just imagine this black sun ascending very, very slowly and gently. Its energy is warm and it\u2019s limitless, and it just keeps on expanding inside of you until it completely fills you up inside. Finally, turn your attention back to the outside world and let the black sun energy overflow and surge out of you. And as it enters the world it becomes this pure white light of infinite giving. You\u2019ve essentially become the sun. That\u2019s the black sun tool.\nYou\u2019ll notice what we\u2019ve done with that tool is the arc of the tool reverses your flow of energy. We spend most of our time trying to take things in from the outside world, but at the end of the tool, what you\u2019re doing is you\u2019re giving out, and that\u2019s really the solution to craving and to impulses. The need to get is cured by giving more.\nYeah, it\u2019s interesting. I mean, I\u2019m picking up a difference, I suppose, in terms of desire.\nSo I think I\u2019m picking up a difference and I think that when it comes to the visualization, my hunch is that it probably has more pronounced effects over multiple trials as you\u2019re able to sort of see things all the more clearly as well as have developed a history of association with the mental images and the effects of them\nDefinitely. Definitely. The more you use the tools the more familiar you get with the symbols, the more real they feel to you, and the more effective they become.\nWe\u2019ve also got the tower. Can we hear that one?\nYes, absolutely. So the tower is designed to \u2013 let me put it this way. One of Part X\u2019s favorite tactics is to get us to fall into a state where we\u2019re sulking. We\u2019re obsessed with something that someone has done to us. We call it a victim state. None of us likes to think of ourselves as victims but everyone falls into this state at some point, everyone throws themselves, what they call in AA, a pity party essentially.\nAnd the difficult truth is life isn\u2019t fair. If you keep wallowing in something that someone has done to you in the past, even if it\u2019s the immediate past, you can\u2019t build a fulfilling future. So what the tower tool does is it gives you the power to get over injuries, to let go and to move forward. You stop demanding life be fair, which it isn\u2019t, and instead demand that you always move forward no matter what happens to you.\nWith that in play, I guess that seems a little bit more straightforward, or there\u2019s like a series of images that\u2026\nYeah, I can teach you the tool. Let me explain to you how the tool works first and then I can go through the tool if you want. You know, when you get hurt physically, you let your body repair. Let\u2019s say you stubbed your toe on a curve. So you might sit down, walk it off, but pretty soon you\u2019re on your way. But when your feelings get hurt you do something very different. You relive it again and again, \u201cHow dare he say that to me? That was so unfair. I would never treat anyone like that.\u201d\nEssentially, you\u2019re going back to the curve and re-stubbing your toe over and over again. That\u2019s what we\u2019re calling a victim state. What you\u2019re saying is, \u201cThis shouldn\u2019t have happened to me.\u201d Now think about that statement for a moment, \u201cThis shouldn\u2019t have happened to me.\u201d If you step back, it doesn\u2019t matter whether it should or shouldn\u2019t have happened, it already did happen. You should be focused on getting over it, but Part X makes it very hard to let go because letting go means your opinion doesn\u2019t matter. There are forces in the universe that are stronger than you, and that\u2019s essentially what we call an ego death.\nEgo deaths are just as inevitable in life as real physical death is, okay? Now the god news is if you can let your ego die you can move on. Little kids\u2019 egos aren\u2019t as strong as adult egos so they process injuries really quickly. Like watch a little kid who wants a toy, and the parent says no. The kid cries passionately as if his life is coming to an end, and in record time he\u2019s playing happily with something else. We all have that ability inside of us but for adults it requires a tool because our egos don\u2019t want to let go of, \u201cIt shouldn\u2019t have happened.\u201d\nSo think of a situation where you got offended. It could be something small, somebody used a tone of voice you didn\u2019t like, or it could be big like a job where you just keep getting passed over by people who are less qualified than you.\nAnd once you\u2019ve thought of that situation, close your eyes and just call up the hurt feelings, try to make them so intense it\u2019s as if it just happened. Now, intentionally make the feelings even worse, almost like the feelings are attacking you in the heart, almost like a spear through your heart. And just imagine that the hurt feelings get so intense that they literally break your heart and you die, and imagine you\u2019re lying motionless on the ground.\nNow imagine that you hear a voice that says, \u201cOnly the dead survive,\u201d and suddenly your heart is filled with light and it illuminates your surroundings, and you\u2019re lying at the base of a tall tower that\u2019s open on the top. Imagine now that the light lifts you up and, buoyed by it, you effortlessly float up through the tower and out the top ascending into a perfect blue sky and your body feels reborn.\nWell, yeah, it\u2019s pleasant. I guess, maybe I should\u2019ve thought of a more offensive scenario to begin with to get more of a before-after, but it is. It\u2019s pleasant there.\nThe key here is not the symbology or you could forget the three steps. The key is let yourself feel hurt, and let the hurt get so bad that you imagine it actually kills you. Because death, even this imagined death, is a real letting go of any power to resist. You\u2019re letting the hurt go essentially, and you\u2019re letting all of your opinions about it go, and that, ironically enough, is what allows you to recover from hurt feelings, from injuries like this because you\u2019ve abandoned all your opinions, and you can just simply move on.\nUnderstood. Well, that\u2019s cool. So I\u2019d love to hear a little bit more of your perspective because it is a little bit different and it\u2019s a little, as all new things are, it could feel sort of uncomfortable or you might even just feel odd or silly just in the course of executing it.\nYou\u2019ve been through this many times with many folks, what are the words of encouragement you offer for folks if they\u2019re having some of those difficulties going there?\nLook, I met Phil Stutz 35 years ago, and there has never been anybody more skeptical than me. Trust me. Before I was a therapist I was a lawyer, so I was trained in skepticism, and I questioned everything that he said to me the way you\u2019re questioning what I\u2019m saying right now, and it was good that I questioned it, and I encourage people to question it.\nBut what I also encourage them to do is just try it. If it doesn\u2019t work, throw away the book. Don\u2019t believe us. Don\u2019t listen to us. You know, it\u2019s fine. But it\u2019s actually amazing to me how, as I just simply use the tools over and over and over again, I began to have a different kind of knowledge, it\u2019s almost like a wisdom as opposed to a knowledge, that these things were real and that they uncover deeper truths that I\u2019d never been aware of before.\nAll right. Good deal. Thank you. So then, well, tell me, Barry, is there anything else you want to make sure to mention before we shift gears and hear about some of your favorite things?\nNo, I think that\u2019s about it.\nOkay. Cool. Well, can you start us off by sharing a favorite quote, something you find inspiring?\nYes. John Milton, in Paradise Lost, said, \u201cThe mind is a place unto itself and can make a hell of heaven or a heaven of hell,\u201d which to me is one of the most profound statements I\u2019ve ever heard. What it says to me is that if you can begin to control your state of mind, everything in your life gets better.\nAll right. And how about a favorite book?\nMy favorite book is Man\u2019s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Viktor Frankl was a Jewish psychiatrist who was arrested and interned in a number of different concentration camps in Nazi Germany. And I read it whenever I find myself complaining about life because I feel embarrassed complaining when I read about what he went through and about how brave and how inspired he was, and how, even in the midst of those awful circumstances where people were dying of disease, starvation, the gas chambers, everything else, he insisted on being of service to others. So it\u2019s a book that just inspires me every time I\u2019ve read it, and I\u2019ve read it probably five times.\nMy favorite tool is the black sun, the first one that we used and it\u2019s not because I have that many impulses that are out of control, but because it just reminds me that I have everything inside of me, that there are resources inside of me that I\u2019m usually unaware of. You know, we\u2019re such an outer-oriented society that we tend to forget that we have resources inside of us that are enormous and creative and inspiring, and they can really bring change to the world in a good way. And so it feels like that tool really keeps me balanced in that sense.\nAll right. And how about a favorite habit?\nYou know, it\u2019s interesting. I write in a journal every day probably two or three pages. It doesn\u2019t have to be that long. I\u2019m a writer so it comes easily to me. I write down my dreams, I write down what I\u2019m feeling, and then I always end with a challenge to myself for that day, \u201cI challenge you to,\u201d whatever it is, \u201cto care even more about your patients than you normally do.\u201d\nOr, \u201cI challenge you to be more blunt in telling your patients the truth about themselves even though they might not want to hear it because that\u2019s your job,\u201d kind of thing. Whatever the challenge is, I really try to pose it to myself. And then the next day, when I write in the journal, I try to talk to myself about how well or poorly I met the challenge.\nAll right. And, tell me, is there a particular nugget you share in your practice or your writings that seems to really connect and resonate with folks such that they are kind of repeating it to you and saying it\u2019s been super impactful? Are there any kind of Barry original quotes that really hit the mark?\nI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s an original quote but I\u2019ve never ever failed doing whatever is scariest for me. Like I\u2019ve been afraid of public speaking most of my life, and just in the last five years I\u2019ve really gotten into to giving workshops, and I was terrified doing them. I\u2019ll never forget the first like three or four of them. I\u2019d wake up in the morning literally feeling like a condemned man going to the gallows. I mean, it felt that bad. Like, \u201cNo, please don\u2019t make me do this.\u201d\nBut I\u2019ve done it so much now, and it\u2019s so fulfilling and so inspiring to me that I realized that you can pretty much never go wrong doing the things that you\u2019re really frightened of because Part X wouldn\u2019t be trying so hard to scare you if it didn\u2019t know better than you do that this is something that\u2019s really going to fulfill your potential.\nSo I\u2019ve actually, weirdly enough, learned to use Part X as kind of a guide in a strange way that\u2019s working really hard to stop me from doing something. That\u2019s the thing I figure I really need to focus my energy on. And it\u2019s never gone wrong. It actually has become, in a weird way, a guide for me. You know, you mentioned that you\u2019re Christian. Now, it\u2019s always been interesting to me that the Christian name for the devil is Lucifer, which is obviously Lucifer is evil.\nBut on the other hand, the root of that word is two Latin words that means bringer of light. Lux means light, and fer means to bring. And so, in a strange way, if you can be aware of the devil working against you, you can actually attack the very areas it\u2019s trying to hold you back in, and you can become yourself, you can fulfill your highest potential.\nWell, that\u2019s a fabulous concluding note, bring some light and hope into perspective. So, Barry, thanks so much for this and for bringing a new set of perspectives, a voice that we haven\u2019t heard here before, talking psychotherapy and it\u2019s cool. So I very much appreciate you bringing your tips and tools which I think will be put to very good use. So can you share, if folks want to learn more or get in touch, where would you point them?\nTo our website which is TheToolsBook.com and it\u2019s got all kinds of tools and other information and newsletter you can sign up for, or podcasts that we\u2019re doing, and all kinds of good stuff there.\nPerfect. Well, Barry, thanks again.\nThank you very much, Pete. I really enjoyed it.\nKF #26. Being ResilientMindsetPresence\nJenny McCreary says:\nLove your podcast!! Have been an avid listener since 11/16 when I started my current job. Have learned so much from so many of your amazing and diverse guests, particularly those who tackle issues like conflict resolution, managing introverts vs extroverts, and improving interpersonal communication. While some of the experts may have different values, core beliefs, or worldviews than me, I find there is always at least one take-away \u201cgold nugget\u201d (like how I did that?) to glean. That is until Barry Michels. I found much of his content hokey, extremely \u201cwoo-woo\u201d (as he himself called it), and almost eerie. As a medical provider with more than 20 years of experience, I am fully aware that positive self-talk and visualization can be effective tools for developing resilience. But when he was describing allowing \u201cthe vortex to lift you up through that circle into a world of infinite energy\u201d and \u201cgrowing into like a giant size with unlimited energy,\u201d I kept waiting for him to say, \u201cJust kidding!\u201d If he is the psychotherapist to the celebs, that explains a lot of why Hollywood is the way it is. Maybe his message resonated with some of your audience, but just wanted to pass along my two cents.\nThanks for all you do, week in and week out. I am in awe of your commitment to providing solid content for your listeners, and my 17 year old son would be so envious of your outstanding recording equipment (you set the bar for your podcasting colleauges when it comes to production). I feel I have received a year of career counseling for free! It has been a great nearly 12 mos for me, and I look forward to many years to come.",

Imagine the effect making a grand entrance in your very own gyrocopter will have on a future client or business partner.\nSo if you wish to enjoy a limitless liberty of movement and travel in style for the rest of time, then Pal-V is the answer you seek. More Info Here\n#2 The Delorean DR-7 Flying Car\nThis flying car sets out to address common transportation problems like poor road infrastructure, congestion and environmental pollution by providing a convenient yet highly effective mode of travel. The Delorean DR-7 is designed to make use of a full electric propulsion system implying that there is no emission at all from the aviation vehicle to the atmosphere.\nIn great contrast with most other battery-operated cool flying cars, this one allows for up to 125 miles of uninterrupted travel when fully charged meaning that your commute will not be limited to the bounds of the city.\nThe best part about the technology behind this impressive vehicle is that it does not require a pilot\u2019s license to operate it as it makes use of automated flight. But just in case you happen to be an aviation enthusiast and want to enjoy the full flying experience, this sleek flight machine also features a manual control option.\nThere are a number of features intrinsic to its design that makes this aviation vehicle the ultimate model of stability and sophistication. Its safety is enhanced by the first-of-a-kind double propulsion system and stall-resistant wing technology that additionally lead to a highly efficient performance margin. These twin vectors significantly reduce drag and its fuselage operates like an airfoil causing stall reduction for low speed motion.\nThe lightweight construction design also contributes to its steadiness and makes it highly energy-efficient. The tandem seating arrangement is no coincidental feature as it is meant to aid in appropriate weight distribution making it unmatchable in maneuverability and speed.\nRegardless of the fact that it is approximately 20 feet long and 18 feet wide, the flying car features a pivot-based system for tucking in the front and back wings allowing it to fit into a big garage.\nUnlike most common futuristic flying cars, this creative innovation makes possible vertical take-off as well as landing and as such requires no airstrip to operate. This incredible feat is achieved thanks to the 360 degree electric fans placed along its centerline. It does not require a rudder to operate as the fan system makes use of thrust vectoring and thus allows for high cruise speeds.\nShaped like a Formula 1 race car, this unique flying car embodies sleekness and utility in a mode few others within its range would even dare to dream of. Though it is still only available in a miniature test version, the full size prototype is set for release towards the end of 2018. More Info Here\n#3 The TF-X Terrafugia Flying Car\nModern day commuters have been subjected to a serious grind in getting to work and back every single day. The pace of our current road infrastructure can wear your patience thin or even cost you an opportunity of a lifetime.\nThe TF-X Terrafugia flying car is designed to beat all odds and provide the ultimate combination of speed and luxury. It is capable of running at speeds of up to 200 mph and flying an impressive range of 500 miles.\nUnlike most other futuristic flying cars that limit their weight to a maximum of two passengers, this aviation vehicle can carry your entire family of four in utmost comfort. In order to master its operation you will require only approximately five hours and since it comes with autonomous flight control features the challenge is reduced if you happen to be a first-timer.\nIt is possible to set a predetermined flight path and landing zone for this flying car but in case you change your mind mid-flight there is also a provision for command override. In case of an engine problem mid-flight, it comes equipped with a full parachute system to deliver the vehicle and your family to safety. The manual control option is suitable for someone with a bit of flying experience and makes it possible to take charge of your commute session from start to finish.\nThe vehicle operates on regular automobile gas for use on the road and electric charge for powering flight. Its wings feature two motors attached to each end powered by a 300 horsepower engine. As it sets out to fly, its propellers rotate until they are parallel to its body and once it lifts off a ducted fan takes over and provides needed thrust.\nWhile in flight the vehicle might seem rather large and imposing but once you land it on your driveway, you get to fold in the propellers and wings to make it compact and allow it to fit in a regular size garage. Its ability to land and take off vertically precludes the need for an airstrip and hence it is possible to alternate between flight and land operations virtually anywhere.\nDo you know what the best part is about this remarkable innovation? Ownership of this gyrocopter need not be restricted to your dreams as the pricing is set to be competitive, at par with most luxury cars, and therefore totally attainable. More Info Here\n#4 AeroMobil Flying Car\nThe AeroMobil embodies almost every crucial aspect of air and road travel to provide a sleek, exceptional solution to all the needs in between. Fashioned after nature\u2019s own best masterpieces this flying car is a marvel to behold. It resembles a teardrop in shape and every aspect of its exterior design is aimed at enhancing its aerodynamic capabilities.\nThe main flight features are retractable and gradually unfold from the main body making it resemble a miniature fighter jet. Its body is made up of lightweight carbon composite which allows it to optimize on performance without necessarily drawing up too much energy. The finished gives prominent attention to detail to make it a truly elegant masterpiece.\nAll of its interior features make a significant contribution to overall performance as well. For instance, instead of having adjustable seats like you would in an ordinary automobile, its seats are fixed and instead the control features allow for repositioning to perfectly suit the operator\u2019s preferences. The permanence of the seats makes it possible to perfectly manage weight distribution and effectively reduce the risk levels.\nThe user interface is made to closely resemble that of most flight machines to make it familiar territory to regular pilots. It is made to automatically transform depending on whether the gyrocopter is on air or land, availing all the necessary navigational features on the same platform. The main operational features are easily accessible while at the same time retaining the modes of operation that both pilots and drivers are accustomed to.\nIt\u2019s impressive finish of fine leather and structural carbon gives it a superb visual appeal and also takes into consideration functional aspects like low weight in order to ensure that performance is not at all compromised.\nThe AeroMobil features an internal combustion engine that is fitted with digital control features. It makes great use of modern turbocharging technology to enhance its power and reliability even on high altitude. The focus is again placed on weight reduction while at the same time ensuring no compromise on its requisite features.\nApart from making use of high-quality seatbelts, state-of-the-art airbags and a ballistic parachute system, it also utilizes the latest structural design aspects to ensure passenger safety in case of a crash.\nThis two-seater\u2019s unique innovative additions to the realm of futuristic flying cars will certainly introduce the transformation to the transport industry we have all been dreaming off and forever break off the shackles of traffic and poor infrastructure. More Info Here\n#5 Ehang\u2019s Autonomous Passenger Drone\nThe introduction of drones into the aviation industry resulted in a number of important revolutions to various industries. But before the creation of this autonomous passenger craft, the drone\u2019s design was limited to unmanned aerial devices. This is the first of its kind to allow for sufficient space to accommodate one passenger.\nIt comes fully fitted with a GPS system that makes it possible for the passenger to key in destination details and sit back to enjoy a bird\u2019s perspective on the landscape below. Apart from offering convenience, this drone is comparable to the best of futuristic flying cars featuring the ability to utilize a multiple safety management system.\nThis system is fully redundant in that in case of the failure of one set of controls, flight continues uninterrupted and unaffected using a backup system. Additionally, it incorporates the use of an emergency landing system that takes over in case of component disconnection or malfunction that is serious enough to compromise on safety. When this happens the Ehang 184 immediately picks out a secure landing spot and initiates the landing procedure.\nAnother impressive feature of this machine is that while in flight it keeps touch with a ground-based command center. This it does using an online connection and is meant to ensure that the drone only flies under safe conditions. For instance, when the weather conditions appear to be unfavorable the vehicle cannot be allowed to take off.\nThe Ehang Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV) is designed to fly at a maximum height of 11,000 feet but when cruising at sea level it can keep going for up to 23 minutes nonstop. It only requires two commands for operation, take-off and land, and this can surprisingly be executed from a mobile device app.\nIts four arms can be folded to the body when the device is not in use and therefore it does not require a lot of storage space. Its design is 100% ecofriendly, utilizing electric charge for all its operations to ensure zero emissions. It features two recharge options, one hour for fast charging or up to four hours for regular charging.\nMuch as this AAV does not offer all of the advantages of flying cars, its unique fully automated operation system means that it does not require any licensing whatsoever. Since the sky offers very few obstacles, it faces a very low probability of getting into an accident. This makes it one of the easiest and safest forms of travel known to man. More Info Here\nThe rapid rate at which futuristic flying cars are being launched into the market is a highly promising trend. Manufacturers have taken note of the present gap in the transportation industry and are falling over each other to address the inherent need. One can only hope that flying car future technology serves to increase on the availability of these incredibly functional innovations and makes the current travel challenges a thing of the past.",

        "raw_content": "BRUSSELS -- NATO leaders reaffirmed the alliance\u2019s support for its mission in Afghanistan, as the country grapples with a stubborn Taliban insurgency and threats from other extremist groups.\nThe alliance currently oversees nearly 16,000 troops in Afghanistan, with support from both NATO members and partner states, as they try to stabilize the Afghan security forces. The largest contributor is the United States, which has 14,000 troops there.\nA statement released by the alliance, after a July 11 meeting of heads of state, pledged continued support for the mission, known as Resolute Support.\n\"We reaffirm our commitment to ensure long-term security and stability in Afghanistan,\" the statement said.\n\"As the Afghan government continues to work towards peace and reconciliation, we will continue our assistance by extending our financial sustainment of the Afghan forces through 2024 and by pledging to fill staffing shortfalls, especially in priority areas.\"\nThe NATO statement also pointed the finger at Afghanistan's neighbors -- Iran and Pakistan -- which have been accused of fomenting instability, as well as Russia, which some officials have said is supplying weaponry to the Taliban.\n\u201cWe encourage Pakistan, Iran, and Russia to contribute to regional stability by fully supporting an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace process,\u201d it said.\nBritain Says Will Double Troops In Afghanistan\nAhead of the Brussels summit, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced that Britain will nearly double the number of its forces in Afghanistan -- to about 1,100 troops who are assisting Afghan forces in the fight against Taliban and Islamic State militants.\nThe Kabul government has struggled in the past year against resurgent Taliban fighters, as well as Islamic State and Al-Qaeda militants, some almost two decades after a U.S.-led coalition drove the Taliban from rule in Afghanistan in 2001.\nNATO Slams Russia, Pledges 'Fair Burden-Sharing' in Defense Spending\nNATO Formally Invites Macedonia To Begin Membership Talks\nTrump Slams Germany Over Russia Pipeline\nOriginal Link: https://www.rferl.org/a/nato-pledges-support-afghanistan-uptick-fighting-taliban/29357828.html",

[Copy link] \u4e2d\u6587\nIn China, there is no specific law on what age kids should be allowed to go to school alone. I find many kids under 10 walk or cycle to school without adult supervision. But do you think children under 10 should be left unaccompanied? Is it kind of character building?\n(BBC) A Canadian father is mounting a legal challenge after child safety officials told him his children aged 7-11 could no longer take the bus alone.\nAdrian Crook said he taught his children to take the Vancouver city bus to school over the course of a month.\nIn a post on his blog \"5 Kids 1 Condo\", he wrote that he wanted to \"raise capable, independent humans\".\nBut the Ministry of Children and Family Development said it is illegal for children under 10 to be unsupervised.\nMr Crook, who writes about parenting and urban living, said he wanted to teach his children that it is possible to rely on public transport instead of a car.\nHe said that two years ago, he taught them how to take the 45-minute bus ride, which picks them up in front of their building and drops them off in front of their school.\nThe whole learning process took months, and he travelled with them while he taught them how to be safe and recognise the stops.\n\"Nobody\u2019s so much as shed a tear, let alone been hurt in the entire two-year learning experience,\" he wrote.\nHis youngest child, who is five, does not take the bus.\nBut after receiving an anonymous complaint, child safety officials for the province of British Columbia began an investigation, which involved visiting his home, interviewing him and all his children separately, he wrote.\nIn Canada, only three provinces have minimum ages for children being left alone - Ontario, New Brunswick and Quebec, with the minimum ages ranging from 12-16.\nChildren under 12 are also incapable of supervising younger children.\n\u7a7a\u8c37\u5e7d\u5170 Currently offline\nsymondsez\nsymondsez Currently offline\nwhen they wake up in the morning...\nF111 Currently offline\n5 yo is ok\nStan, you're holding a gun to God's head.

        "raw_content": "The BDAV is acknowledged as an industry leader in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for the building design profession. Indeed, the BDAV won 'Education Provider' in the Building Commission's 2007 and 2010 CPD Awards in recognition of its contribution to education for the building industry, and achieved Highly Commended as CPD Provider in the Commission's 2008 CPD Awards.\nThe BDAV offers a very successful structured continuing professional development program which enables members to continually upskill their knowledge. More and more, clients are seeking to engage professionals who constantly keep up-to-date with changes to regulations and trends.\nThe BDAV presents an informative series of seminars, workshops and regional meetings covering the latest industry reforms, innovations and tools which are vital to the success of a professional design practice. Guest speakers are chosen for their expertise and ability to impart knowledge that is of benefit to members. The philosophy of the BDAV is that continuing professional development is not a revenue-generating activity. As a result, costs for attendance at BDAV seminars and workshops are at nominal rates to cover actual expenses incurred by the BDAV to present these programs to the industry.\nThe BDAV's Continuing Professional Development Program commenced on 1 November 1996. The Program was introduced to ensure members maintain a professional approach to education and upskilling, given the impact of the constant changes in technology, regulations and liability occurring in the building industry.\nThe CPD Program is voluntary, and requires a Member to achieve a minimum of 15 CPD points per annum. Successful participation and completion of the CPD program is required for advancement of members through the membership structure of the BDAV. However, Members who are also accredited Thermal Performance Assessors are required to achieve a minimum of 12 CPD points per annum to be eligible for accreditation renewal each year.\nCPD Points are only allocated for actual hours spent in active participation in structured seminars and courses. A Certificate of Attendance is issued by the BDAV to every participant at each BDAV CPD event.\nBDAV Members have a personalised CPD Manager accessed via the MEMBER pages of this website where they can record details of CPD attendance and download a CPD statement whenever required. This is of assistance to members when renewing their BPB registration, and in instances where some insurers offer discounted premiums to those practitioners who regularly attend CPD activities, as, by continually upskilling their knowledge, such practitioners are deemed a \"lesser risk\" than non-CPD-attendees.\nWhilst the BDAV conducts its own CPD program, approved courses by other organisations are eligible for accrual of points, and Members can upload these at any time in their online CPD Manager, but a Certificate of Attendance must also be uploaded, which validates that the member actually attended the course.\nSince 2004, the BDAV has been videotaping selected CPD seminars, to enable remote location members, or those members unable to personally attend seminars to purchase a DVD of the proceedings, and thereby keep up-to-date on professional topics. Since 2008, a questionnaire has also accompanied newly taped seminars which, upon satisfactory completion and returning to the BDAV, enables the Member to achieve CPD points for viewing any such DVD.\nMembers who order a webinar presentation and who wish to have the CPD point recorded in their CPD Manager should email to BDAV a brief summary of the key points you learned by viewing the webinar. This validates that the member actually viewed it. (This is not required by those members who view the webinar on the scheduled screening date.)\nAvailable DVDs, audio presentations, and webinar presentations may be purchased at the Webshop at this website.",

The UK has been going through a heatwave, so I haven\u2019t been able to sleep very much, although it has cooled down a bit now. I\u2019ve started volunteering for the Citizen\u2019s Advice Bureau in my town, which should hopefully help my employment prospects, and I have taken the exam for a Personal License (for working in a bar) although I haven\u2019t had the results yet.\nMentally, things haven\u2019t been so good. I\u2019ve been feeling rather down, tired, and weary. I\u2019ve often found myself thinking hateful thoughts about myself, and wanting to self harm, although I have so far resisted the temptation. Over the past couple of days I\u2019ve found myself thinking more about suicide, although I have no actual plans, just a vague desire for life to end. It is intermittent \u2013 sometimes I feel reasonably OK, but at other times I really don\u2019t, and end up staring into space thinking bad thoughts even while I\u2019m in the pub with lots of other people.\nI\u2019m not really sure what to do \u2013 I\u2019m seeing my psychiatrist in a couple of weeks \u2013 she rearranged my appointment, which was supposed to be this week \u2013 but I don\u2019t want my medication increased. I should probably not be drinking so much, but as per usual for me I have turned to it as a means of self-medicating.\nSpiritually things are bad \u2013 I have been going to church, and to the discussion group I go to on a Thursday, but aside from church prayers I haven\u2019t really been talking to God. I just can\u2019t see why he would want to listen to me, I don\u2019t even want to listen to myself. I feel like I\u2019m just going through the motions, and that is partly why I haven\u2019t been posting \u2013 I don\u2019t feel I have anything worthwhile to say about faith right now.\nI\u2019m sure it will get better soon, hopefully before I see the psychiatrist. Recently, when I have had a downturn I have recovered fairly quickly. I just feel tired now, tired and rather sad. I seem to have lost my hope.

        "raw_content": "by Sara Lindberg ; Updated May 07, 2018\nIf you\u2019re one of the millions of people who file federal income taxes each year, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve heard the term unearned income. You may even have some sources of unearned income, but do you know what this IRS term means?\nUnearned income is income from investments and other sources which is unrelated to employment. This includes income-type investments such as taxable interest, ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions.\nOften referred to as passive income, unearned income is money you make with very little effort on your part. In other words, it\u2019s money you receive without having to do work for it. The combination of employment income and sources of unearned income equal your gross income. When you retire, you will transition from living on earned income to relying on unearned income for your overall finances.\nUnearned income is different from earned income, which includes all the taxable income and wages you get from working or from certain disability payments such as long-term disability benefits. The taxable income that qualifies as earned income includes wages, salaries, tips and net earnings from self-employment income.\nWhat Is Unearned Income Tax?\nEarning money while doing very little work is a good thing, right? Yes, but it\u2019s not perfect. When it comes to federal income taxes, any unearned sources of income you have will be included in your AGI or Adjusted Growth Income. That\u2019s because unearned income has to be reported, and it may even be taxed.\nThe tax rules for unearned income are different from the rules used to determine taxes on earned income. If you have sources of unearned income, you might want to consult a tax professional to determine which ones you will be required to pay taxes on. Some unearned income is not taxed at all, while others are taxed at different rates.\nSince unearned income can be taxed at different rates and often lower rates, it\u2019s in your best interest to do some research on the different sources of unearned income, and use that information when making decisions about investments.\nUnearned Income Examples\nIf your income consists of more than just your paycheck, you may have sources of unearned income. The most common examples of unearned income are interest and dividends. But the list doesn't end there.\nIn addition to taxable interest, ordinary dividends and capital gain distribution, other examples of unearned income include pensions, unemployment compensation, taxable Social Security benefits, inheritances, alimony, rental real estate income, distribution from a trust or estate, cancellation of debt and annuity payments.\nIRS: Unearned Income\nIRS: Earned Income\nSara Lindberg, B.S., M.Ed., is a freelance writer focusing on lifestyle, health, fitness, business, pets, and education.

        "raw_content": "AICR Guest Post: Healthy Habits to Lower Cancer Risk\nPosted on February 28, 2018 March 9, 2018 by AACR Press Office\nEditor\u2019s note: February is Cancer Prevention Month. Throughout this past month, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) has been pleased to support the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) Cancer Prevention: Together We Can campaign, an initiative dedicated to promoting evidence-based information to reduce cancer risk. This blog post was developed and shared by the AICR.\nAICR research focuses on how diet, nutrition, physical activity, and weight affect cancer risk and survival. In the United States, about one in three of the most common cancers could be prevented if everyone were at a healthy weight, maintained physical activity, and ate a healthy diet.\nA recent study in the United Kingdom found that people who followed five aspects of a healthy lifestyle were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with cancer than those who did not. Overall risk of cancer was reduced by about one-third in people who were non-smokers, had a healthy weight, were physically active, ate a healthy diet, and limited alcohol within the national guidelines.\nFor this study, data were collected from over 340,000 participants in the UK Biobank, a prospective study of about half a million people. In a follow-up after five years (median), 14,285 participants who were diagnosed with cancer were quizzed on their lifestyle habits. Participants who met all five of the healthy living factors were 32 percent less likely to be diagnosed with cancer than those who satisfied only one or none. The addition of each healthy behavior was associated with an 8 percent reduction in cancer risk.\n\u201cEven small changes in lifestyle can change your cancer risk, and adopting healthy behaviors will reduce your risk of other common chronic diseases, too,\u201d says Nigel Brockton, PhD, director of research at the American Institute for Cancer Research.\nThe researchers report a 25 percent reduction in colorectal cancer and a 35 percent reduction in breast cancer, which are in line with other published data. AICR/WCRF CUP reports show that lifestyle plays a central role in reducing risk for both of these cancers. Weight, physical activity, alcohol, and diet all link to colorectal cancer risk, and alcohol, weight, and physical activity link to postmenopausal breast cancer.\nAlong with large reductions in cancer risk and cancer mortality, the researchers also found reductions in diabetes, vascular disease, and dementia, thereby showing large health benefits from healthy behaviors.\nThe study\u2019s authors said the strengths of this study are the size of the cohort and the prospective collection of data. The main limitations, they noted, are the low response rate to the UK Biobank, and the relatively broad dichotomization of behaviors into \u201chealthy\u201d and \u201cnot healthy.\u201d Researchers did not look at diet beyond fruit and vegetable intake, and the analysis of smoking did not take into account former smokers. However, these results are consistent with other large population studies that have used more sophisticated data collection. The results are also consistent with AICR/WCRF recommendations and conclusions from AICR/WCRF Continuous Update Project reports.\nIf making wholesale changes to your lifestyle is overwhelming, the authors suggest that taking up one additional healthy behavior may be a more acceptable message. The authors also emphasize that clinicians should \u201cmake every contact count\u201d to reinforce the importance of adopting health behaviors to reduce chronic disease risk.\nThe American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) is the cancer charity that fosters research on the relationship of diet, nutrition, physical activity, and weight management to cancer risk, interprets the scientific literature, and educates the public about the results.

        "raw_content": "NIN Continues Breaking Ground\nBy Jeff Balke on January 8, 2010 at 10:30 AM\nOn this very day last year, I wrote about how Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails was releasing high quality HD concert video to anyone who wanted it. The footage, filmed by member of Reznor\u2019s crew, got downloaded quite a bit and the end result is now available to the general public for free through a downloadable project called \u201cThe Gift,\u201d a video produced by fans from the HD video.\nWhat this is, is a a full length concert video created from over 450 gigabytes (GB) of video footage shot from HD cameras by the NIN crew that was released by NIN.com to see what their fans would produce. The end result is a full length concert video containing 32 songs, 5.1 surround sound, and released in a variety of formats (including a single layer Blu-Ray). All variations are available via BitTorrent downloading for free. Just to be clear, the video is professionally shot, the completed Blu-Ray/DVD/video files are fan made from that video.\nLike you might expect from a bunch of internet nerds (and I use that term with reverence as I consider myself a nerd as well) who would undertake such a massive project, the video is really good. You can see streamed YouTube versions here.\nI\u2019ve written about Reznor and his ability to think ahead of the curve before. He gave clues to fans about the whereabouts (inside arenas at upcoming shows) of USB drives with unreleased material on it, created a unique iPhone app for NIN fans, gave away raw tracks for fans to re-mix, provided pay what you want downloads before most others had considered it and now this.\nIt\u2019s pretty easy to understand how these ideas likely will be the basis for how business gets done in music in the future. Clever and innovative are terms often used to describe talented artists. It\u2019s about time their marketing followed suit.",

Here are 6 ways to get the job done.\nUnderstand the Mess\nThe first step to spring cleaning your overall technology inventory is to understand what you\u2019re organizing in the first place. You must be aware of exactly what assets you own, where they are, and whose possession they\u2019re in. Having a tool in place that monitors your assets and works to keep your inventory accurate is a good, if not essential way of doing this. Things change and fluctuate frequently when it comes to your assets, so having a system in place to keep track of everything is key.\nOften you may find yourself with services and assets that you\u2019re paying for, but not using. Dig deeper to find out if employees have services assigned to them that aren\u2019t being used, and look for devices that are sitting around the office wasting away. These assets can be re-allocated to someone who needs them, or retired completely so that you can use your IT budget elsewhere.\nA big part of re-organizing is re-purposing what\u2019s still useful, getting rid of what isn\u2019t, and optimizing everything across the board. Each employee in your company is different, and will have different needs based on their jobs. When it comes to their assets and devices, they need the right tools that serve their needs. For example, some employees need extensive data plans for when they travel, while others just need to make a phone call from time to time. Optimizing your assets and services per individual will incur great savings for you in the long run, and keep your inventory in check.\nFind the Root Cause of the Mess\nIf you want your inventory to be accurate and up to date you\u2019ll need to encourage accountability among employees. Employees should be made aware of what they\u2019re spending and how it affects the entire company. By demonstrating to employees the impact they have, you build a culture of IT cost transparency. This will also help avoid unwarranted purchases and decrease the frequency of overages, while ensuring that everyone is on the same page.\nSet up a pre-emptive approach that can be instilled in your business. This will do wonders for you long-term. One way to do this is to set up an environment where employees can make changes to their data plans before travelling to avoid roaming fees. You can also use software that quickly identifies discrepancies in your system. Having this kind of a system will help save you money over time.\nConsider Automation\nTo manage an accurate inventory is usually to do a lot of hard work. Automating the entire process is a great way to save everyone time and money. With the right system in place, you can set up workflows to automate processes like ordering and provisioning, thus reducing the need for human intervention.\nIf you\u2019d like to learn about our technology expense management solution, Cimpl, and how it can help with IT, telecom, cloud inventory management, inventory management for IoT, and many other asset types, don\u2019t hesitate to contact us.\nHow Can TEM Help With Managing Telecom Taxes and Surcharges\nTopics: IT Inventory, Technology Expense Management (TEM)",

        "raw_content": "Home\u2192Articles\u2192Economics\u2192Rethinking Economic Incentives\n\u2190 Converting Public-Held Pension Funds to Private Accounts\nThe Coming Economic Revolution in the United States \u2192\nRethinking Economic Incentives\nIn his 2011 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama spoke about his desire to see the U.S. government create incentives to help revive the ailing economy. For the most part he presented a general vision of a prosperous America with full and meaningful employment. Republicans and Democrats can both agree with the vision, however they generally disagree on how to achieve it, and both of their strategies have had problems. The reason is the failure to develop a plan that properly accounts for economic incentives, instead of listening to the special interests that control the parties.\nGovernments Provide Commands and Markets Create Incentives\nIn his address, President Obama suggested that the government create a program analogous to the space race to promote economic innovation. Some of us remember that Teflon, Tang, and a host of other inventions came out of that space race. It is helpful to reflect on incentives surrounding these various developments.\nGovernment actions did not provide research grants to produce Teflon, or Tang, they provided funds to put a man on the moon. Targeted government research for inventions doesn\u2019t work, because the government agency or bureaucrat controlling funds is not the inventor. Government agencies control cash. However, cash for research begets more research, cash for a solution begets genuine research.\nThere is a truism: \u201cThe more you pay for something, the more of it you get.\u201d If you pay for a single mother to go to college, you will get more single mothers so they can get free college. A few years ago my company published a book called The Cancer Industry, the author worked at a research hospital in New York. He noted that departments funded to do research on cancer would loose their funding if they found a cure. I also have been involved in paying for the production of encyclopedia articles. If you pay by the hour, articles take a lot longer to write. If you pay by the article, articles get turned in quickly and you get more of them for your money. If you pay for research, you get research.If you pay for research departments, you get departments. If you pay for a product, you get a product.\nIf you pay for a cure, you will get a cure. If you pay to put a man on the moon, you get a man on the moon\u2013and Teflon, Tang and other byproducts came along with it as ways inventors found to solve problems associated with the task. Government would never have guessed what needed to be done, because solution come from the bottom up whereas commands come from the top down.\nOffer a Big Prize\nSpaceshipOne won the Ansari Xprize in 2004\nOne way a government can motivate research without causing economic dependency is to offer a big prize for a winner. Most recent on the minds of many Americans is the Ansari X-prize which announced a 10 million dollar prize for the first reusable plane to fly into space and return twice within two weeks. The $10 million prize was awarded to SpaceShipOne in October 2004. It was designed by Burt Rutan and financed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. The team invested about $100 million.\nThe space shuttle, a much larger enterprise than SpaceShipOne, cost about $150 billion to develop and about $60 million for each flight after the shuttles were built.\nIf a prize is awarded after a solution is found, then government bureaucracies do not restrict the inventiveness that naturally follows research grant awards. No taxpayer money is spent for for bureaucratic overhead or for research that doesn\u2019t pan out. Money is only spent for a result. For a large enough prize, venture capital will be raised privately to following the ideas of inventors, with hopes that investors will each get a share of the prize.\nTax Fruits not Seeds\nThe second problem is taxation. Taxes on production cause less production. This is the inverse of getting more of what you pay for. You get less of what you tax. In the U.S. economy we tax labor in the form of income taxes. These taxes ultimately figure into the cost of production. This tax system was developed in a captive market before globalization of the economy. It worked because everyone was forced to play by the same (U.S.) rules.\nWe also try to tax corporations, but the result is higher CEO pay. Then we complain about the high CEO pay. We don\u2019t seem to realize that a corporation would rather hold parties, run more advertising, pay their employees more, or do just about anything to avoid paying taxes. If you tax on the net worth of a corporation there will be less investment in infrastructure. If you tax the value of inventory, you will get less inventory. Large corporations hire batteries of lawyers to find loopholes. While there is an incentive for certain types of corporations to plow profits back into research and development, many financial institutions and non-producing corporations would prefer to pay themselves any excess. It would be much better to tax these payouts than the corporate profits. Many of the companies that do pay taxes, like utilities, are highly regulated by governments that build tax revenue into their monopoly status. But it is well known that monopolies do not invent new technology.\nAll of these efforts to tax labor and capital can be compared to taxing seeds rather than fruits. Capital and labor are required for production, if you tax it, you get less production. In a global economy, other countries can out-compete U.S. facilities if they have lower income taxes and corporate taxes, or none at all. Taxing capital and labor is like taking a percentage of seeds the farmer plans to sow in the field, then occupy some of his time when he should be cultivating and harvesting. The farmer will develop a lower yield.\nA sales tax taxes the fruits. A sales tax in a U.S. store will tax the Chinese-made product and the American-made product at the same rate. This creates a level playing field and less incentive for global corporations to move to where their production facilities are taxed less. Not only will they be able to produce goods for less at home, but now U.S. products (fruits) have the same built-in tax as the same products made in other countries.\nIn a global economy, the U.S. tax code is a dinosaur, with perverse and selfish incentives taxing labor and capital.\nThe rise of the global economy changed all the rules. U.S. corporations wanted global free trade to liberate them from U.S. legal constraints. They can now easily migrate to where the market dictates, not where politicians dictate. However, if politicians would better understand real economic incentives and not only on the force of law, they would see that many popular political plans\u2013like funding economic research\u2013are perverse and will set us backward.\nA politician may feel powerful if he patronizes a research fellow. He might tell himself that he is doing something worthwhile and get the press to promote it. However, the reality is that government sponsored research is command oriented and therefore opposed to innovation. It also sets up quasi monopolistic industries that use taxpayer dollars to force competitors that would be genuinely inventive out of the market.\nGovernments do have a legitimate role in regulating an economy, but this role is to prevent people or groups from abusing one another with economic power. Laws can tell people what is wrong and socially harmful and punish them. Laws can create level playing fields. Except for after-the-fact prizes, government money, except to fund the justice system to implement the law, cannot be easily thrown at research. All you tend to get is eternally dependent bureaucratic fiefdoms that follow the laws of command. To get genuine innovation, you need government to get out of the way and let the economy work.\nBig Corporations Act Like Governments\nOnce a corporation develops a large bureaucracy, or is bought by a holding company, the original incentives of its founders disappear. Bureaucrats, whether in a government or a corporation, tend to follow commands. Mergers and acquisitions do not invent anything. If anything, they seek to destroy innovation that would be competition to an existing profitable market. We do not have time to discuss all economic incentives in a short article, however, we must understand that every person, whether in government, a small business, or a large corporation, wants to continually improve his lot in life. A manufacturing firm can improve a person\u2019s status by creating more profit by contributing goods that increase the total value of the economy (GDP). A government employee, a lawyer, or financial institution on Wall Street can only get more wealth by withdrawing it from the economy. Therefore, increasing such activities slows down an economy.\nUnfortunately, both large financial institutions and our governments have centralized wealth and power so much that they overburden the economy to the point of decline, and perhaps impending collapse. They should perhaps be broken up like \u201cMa Bell\u201d into seven \u201cBaby Bells\u201d (cell phones and the internet only developed after this). Devolving large financing corporations and governments into smaller units would do much bring back the kinds of competitiveness required to meet the challenges of creating a robust economy and full employment.\nRethinking Economic Incentives \u2014 4 Comments\nRobert Yee on January 27, 2011 at 6:24 pm said:\nConcurrent with the establishment of a government, the power of taxation is implicit, to pay for the basic functions of government \u2013 common defense and security, the judiciary, and the regulation of commerce by the legislature. Needless to say, taxation has increased in scope and complexity. At this point in time, and for many reasons, government expenditures have exceeded revenues. The reasons for this imbalance can be traced back to many years of financial mismanagement and political malfeasance. All branches of the government and cabinet members ought to confront this defect with urgency and seriousness. Revenues must increase, corruption and waste must be rooted out, and expenditures must decrease. So, far a piece meal approach to solving a systemic problem has not worked. The system tries to bring itself back to an even keel while protecting special interest groups who seem to show little concern for the gravity of the economic crisis. It is likely the system will become insolvent. Nevertheless, the nation can continue to function while going through an unavoidable restructuring. Neo-socialist policies will have to be put into place. Too big to fail enterprises must be forced to restructure. Government will be forced to take ownership of energy production \u2013 for example, build oil refineries and drill for oil on federal land. Expand the use of nuclear energy under state control. Legal reforms are needed to root out corruption and bring down the excessive costs in the delivery of healthcare to families and retirees. The problem of the insolvency of the government must be attacked in the same manner a doctor attacks the growth of cancer in a patient\u2019s body. In this sense exceptional visionary leadership must emerge that re-clarifies the balance sheet of the American dream. Neo-socialism shall emerge to ensure that public assets will not be exploited for exclusive corporate gain. At the core of this new political paradigm will be the core values derived from the Creator, the grantor or inalienable rights, reciprocal obligations, ideal interdependence and mutual prosperity.\nGentelmen All and Sages all for sure; at the risk of being redundant I must remind that if the congress were to assume its rightful role as the creator of our Fiat instead of their borrowing of monetary notes there would be no need for taxes. Congress could create, then spend into circulation without debt. We could have our cake and eat it too.\nInstead the Fed. loans the treasury permission to create these stupid notes that are then spent into circulation and we are stuck with bill.\nNow how uncool is that?\nI find no evidence of any constitutional money ever loaned to Congress by the Fed. at any time.\nIf I\u2019m wrong about that SHOW ME THE MONEY.\nFix this problem first and the rest should be a lot easier. God bless and keep up your good work.\nPortia Suri on March 24, 2011 at 12:10 pm said:\nThe Republican Governors in every state appear to be making significant cuts to the higher education financing at state colleges and that means tuition hikes so how are my going to afford tuitions now?\nGordon Anderson on March 24, 2011 at 12:39 pm said:\nThis is a very good question. Governors and legislatures are forced to cut back because the system is now unsustainable.\nColleges, like governments, have both lacked fiscal control. They are both built on the old industrial model of organization that that allowed enormous bureaucratic overhead and lacked competitive efficiency. Tuition is generally overinflated because of this problem already, particularly in schools that receive state support, as administrators have passed on the cost of inefficiencies to students and the government rather than implementing sustainable reforms that take substantial willpower and skill. So yes, they will likely try to raise tuition again, and probably not seek to reform themselves until more students seek alternative forms of education and they seek to draw them back.",

        "raw_content": "Saint Francis Borgia\nThe 10th of October is the feast day of Saint Francis Borgia (28 October 1510 \u2013 30 September 1572). He is invoked against earthquakes; and the patron saint of Portugal; Gand\u00eda; and Rota, Marianas.\nFRANCIS BORGIA, Duke of Gandia and Captain-General of Catalonia, was one of the handsomest, richest, and most honored nobles in Spain, when, in 1539, there was laid upon him the sad duty of escorting the remains of his sovereign, Queen Isabella, to the royal burying-place at Granada. The coffin had to be opened for him that he might verify the body before it was placed in the tomb, and so foul a sight met his eyes that he vowed never again to serve a sovereign who could suffer so base a change. It was some years before he could follow the call of his Lord; at length he entered the Society of Jesus to cut himself off from any chance of dignity or preferment. But his Order chose him to be its head. The Turks were threatening Christendom, and St. Pius V. sent his nephew to gather Christian princes into a league for its defence. The holy Pope chose Francis to accompany him, and, worn out though he was, the Saint obeyed at once. The fatigues of the embassy exhausted what little life was left. St. Francis died on his return to Rome, October 10, 1572.\nReflection.\u2014St. Francis Borgia learnt the worthlessness of earthly greatness at the funeral of Queen Isabella.

        "title": "The Disadvantages of Using Beacons for Proximity Marketing",
        "raw_content": "4 minute read - Posted by Daniel Wagstaff on Nov 12, 2018 12:23:23 PM\nProviding targeting messages to customers while they visit a store has been the main use of proximity marketing, but the solution is also used for restaurants, museums, and many other industries. One of the means in which it can be implemented is through the use of Bluetooth beacons, which we are going to discuss further.\nWhat is Bluetooth Beacon-Based Proximity Marketing?\nEstablished in 2013, Bluetooth beacon technology was initially seen as a marvelous innovation for all things related to proximity marketing but as time passed, and more and more businesses turned to it, its limitations became visible. A Bluetooth beacon connection requires the use of two devices, a beacon and a mobile phone with enabled Bluetooth technology, thus sending information such as promotional messages, sales codes, and more. This technology was embraced by companies and marketers with the expectation that due to its popularity, beacons prices would drop significantly, yet that didn\u2019t happen exactly according to hope. But is cost the only problem with Bluetooth beacon-based proximity marketing.\nWhen implementing a digital marketing strategy, such as text message marketing or proximity marketing, companies expect their investment to pay off by achieving their goals. Whether you are interested in gaining more customers, keeping the ones you have, developing brand loyalty, or getting people interested in a new product or service, digital marketing is a strategy no companies should overlook. Proximity marketing goes one step further than most digital marketing strategies, and deepens the brand-customer relationship, which is why you need to make an informed decision when implementing it. Today, we will go over some of the disadvantages of using beacons for proximity marketing and why it is important to invest your money wisely when it comes to technologies, platform and solutions for proximity marketing.\nBeacons Do Not Work on Their Own\nAlthough beacon notifications usually come installed in the operating system of most smartphone, customers will still require to have an application on their phones for catching the signal emitted by the beacon. This requires a much more complicated interaction from a customer than simply consenting to messages when logging in a Wi-Fi hotspot, for example. Not being self-reliant, beacons will always be a hassle to manage, regardless of the industry in which you are implementing them.\nTracking Movement is Not Simple\nA beacon can only track the movement of customers when they have their mobile device with them and switched on, have the application installed and with permissions already enabled, and also have their Bluetooth and Wi-Fi options enabled. Therefore, beacon-based proximity marketing is not as intuitive as it was expected to be, and it is difficult to gather information on customer movement, and send messages based on it.\nBeacons are Not Cost-Efficient\nBecause we are talking about a technology that is still not as affordable as it was foreseen, it is difficult to speak of beacons in terms of covering all the needs and goals of a business. Oftentimes companies have to limit their implementation and use of beacons due to budgetary restrictions, thus making it harder for the beacon-based proximity marketing solution to function as needed. As beacons do not provide a highly accurate location coverage, you might need to install more for the results to be closer to what you expected, yet that costs more money.\nThe Matter of Trust and Security Limitations\nProximity marketing needs to be safe, secure, and trustworthy. By having a beacon zone, you are automatically logging in and accessing your customers\u2019 preferences and information, and not all of them are comfortable with that. Also, given the fact that beacon signals are easy to duplicate, that makes the customer vulnerable to spoofing.\nBluetooth is Not Battery-Friendly\nHaving a mobile phone with an enabled Bluetooth connection is not at all battery-friendly, and very few customers agree to keep their Bluetooth activated in order to connect with beacons from their favorite brands. Since there isn\u2019t a precise way of knowing where a beacon is located, you can\u2019t turn your Bluetooth on and off depending on whether you are near a beacon or not, thus making it rather difficult for people to engage with this technology on-the-go and not run out of battery before the end of the day.\nBeacons Don\u2019t Offer a Lot of Analyzable Data\nWhen you conduct a marketing campaign, you need to gather and analyze all the data related to it, in order to improve it as you go, or draft better campaigns in the future. Without a clear way of offering analyzable data, beacon-based proximity marketing is not at all helpful when it comes to providing marketers with data and information upon which to improve themselves.\nIs there a better alternative to beacon-based proximity marketing?\nThe main goal of everyone interested in utilizing proximity marketing is finding a solution that will allow them to provide customers with a personalized experience, one that will make them return, talk about the brand, and interact with it more. Yet this needs to also be simple and seamlessly implemented, which is why Bluetooth beacons are not exactly the go-to solutions for proximity marketing anymore. More and more companies and marketers are turning to Wi-Fi-based solutions, as in this case, all you need is your local Wi-Fi network, and having the customer consent by logging in through a web page. No additional application, no complicated and costly hardware.\nRegardless of what your needs for proximity marketing are, finding a solution that is easy to implement, cheap, and offers your customers a great experience should be a priority, which is why, before deciding on what to implement, you need to have all the facts about what the industry currently has to offer in terms of technologies for proximity marketing.",

They were staged using CT, ultrasound scan of abdomen, bronchoscopy and CT spine and brain when necessary. Staging was done using TNM 7 as well as TNM6. Surgical or non-surgical treatment arms were decided on staging and the number of patients in each treatment arm was compared between the two staging systems.\nOut of 62 patients, thirty four patients (54%) had metastatic disease and 19 (30%) of them had pleural effusions (M1a), while 15 (24%) had distant metastasis (M1b). When compared to TNM6 there was no difference in the number of patients in T1 category, but the number in T2 was higher in TNM7 (25 Vs 20). Similarly the number in T3 group was higher in TNM7 (11 Vs 5) and the number in M category was doubled (34 Vs 17 [Chi-6.46, p = 0.011]) compared to TNM 6. The number of patients suitable for surgery were 17(27.5%) in TNM 7 and 18(29%) [Chi-0.02, p = 0.88] in TNM6.\nThis study shows that a significant proportion of patients were having advanced disease with distant metastasis on presentation. The number of patients falling to stage IV is significantly higher when staged with TNM7 but there was no significant difference in the number of patients undergoing surgery when TNM 7 was used compared to TNM6.\nLung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Sri Lanka and throughout the world. Accurate staging of lung cancer is very important to offer appropriate treatment [1]. Latest staging system for lung cancer is the tumor node metastasis (TNM) 7th edition published by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) and American Joint Committee on Cancer using the data base of International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) in December 2009 [2]. This new edition formulated on data from 68463 patients from 20 countries spanning Asia, Australia, Europe and North America, is based on survival data and therefore reflects the prognosis better than the previous 6th edition of TNM [2, 3]. One of the changes in the TNM 7th edition is the classification of pleural effusion as a metastasis (M1a) descriptor, which was classified as a T4 descriptor in the previous version [3]. This shift could result in a major change in group staging as it would group these patients to stage four. As a significant proportion of patients have pleural effusions it is expected that the patients falling in to stage four will go up with the latest staging system.\nAssigning patients to surgical or nonsurgical treatment arms are decided by several criteria, and the stage of the cancer is an important criterion in deciding the treatment option. Therefore changes in the new classification and staging would alter the number of patients undergoing surgical treatment as well as non-surgical treatment. This will have a great clinical effect in the management of patients with lung cancer. However accurate lung cancer staging in a resource limited setting like ours will be difficult due to lack of facilities like PET/CT, MRI and mediastinoscopy.\nThe objective of our study was to find out the implications of TNM7th edition on lung cancer staging in a resource limited setting, and to compare it with the previous TNM 6th edition.\nThere were 62 patients with histologically confirmed lung carcinoma. Out of them 50 (81%) were males and 12 (19%) were females. Forty two (84%) males and 1 (8%) female were smokers [Chi-113.1,p < 0.0001]. Mean age of males was 61 (range 34 to 84) and females was 57 (range 38 to 79) years. Four (8.0%) out of 50 males and 5 (41.6%) out of 12 females were below the age of 50 [Chi-6.33, p = 0.011].\nAge specific incidence of lung cancer in males and females is shown in Figure 1.\nAge specific incidence of lung cancer in males and females.\nThe commenest histological type was squamous cell carcinoma reaching 36 (58%) (males 32, females 4). Fifteen (24%)(males 9, females 6) were having adenocarcinoma,5 (8%) small cell carcinomas(all were males) and 6 (9%) (males 4, females 2) patients were having other types of carcinomas.\nChest imaging revealed bilateral lesions in 4 (6.5%) patients while 30 (48.4%) had right sided lesions and 28(45.1%) had left sided lesions. Table 1 shows the distribution of lesions on chest imaging.\nDistribution of lesions on chest imaging\nSite of lesion\n/Lingula\n*Four patients had bilateral lesions\nMasses, effusions, collapsed areas, multiple nodules and cavities were the types of lesions found on chest imaging. Some patients had a combination of the lesions. Twenty five patients (42%) had a lung mass on imaging, 10 (17.7%) had a mass with effusion, and 9(16%) had a mass with collapse of a lobe. Six (13%) presented with effusion only while 3 (6.3%) had multiple nodules. Collapse of a lobe was the finding in 2 (3.2%) and 1 patient (1.6%) had a cavity on chest imaging.\nThe commenest bronchoscopic lesion was the presence of a growth on a lobar bronchus (43%). Figure 2 shows the bronchoscopic appearance in patients with lung cancer.\nBronchoscopic appearance in patients with lung cancer.\nThirty four patients (54%) had metastatic disease on admission. Out of them 19 (30%) had pleural effusions (M1a), while 15 (24%) had distant metastasis (M1b). Out of distant metastasis 7(47%) had multiple metastasis. Three (20%) had liver metastasis, 2 (13%) adrenal, 2 (13%) brain and 1(7%) had bone metastasis.\nTNM staging was done using TNM 7th as well as TNM 6th and the number of patients in each category is shown in Table 2.\nTNM 7\n(T4 by pleural effusions-19)\n(pleural effusions M1a-19)\nThe number of patients in T3 group was higher in TNM7 (11 Vs 5) and the number in M category was doubled (34 Vs 17, [Chi-6.46, p = 0.011]) compared to TNM 6.\nGroup staging according to each TNM system is shown in Table 3.\nGroup staging according to each TNM system\nThe number of patients in stage IIIB were lower in TNM7 (10 Vs 25) while the number in stage IV was higher (35 Vs 19) [Chi-9.75, p0.002].\nWhen TNM 7th was compared with TNM 6th, 21(33.8%) patients had a change in the TNM classification while 20 (32.2%) patients had a change in the group staging. Out of them 17(27.5%) patients were placed to a more advanced stage and 3 (4.8%) patients were staged to a lesser advanced stage by the new system.\nManagement plan according to the stage is shown in Table 4.\nManagement according to each TNM system\nThe number of patients suitable for surgery were 17(27.5%) in TNM 7 and 18(29%) [Chi-0.02, p = 0.88] in TNM6.\nAs with previous similar studies [1] this study confirms the male predominance in lung cancer incidence which could be due to high prevalence of active smoking among males. According to Cancer Registry of Sri Lanka, adenocarcinomas are commoner 69% than squamous carcinomas 28% [4]. However in our series squamous carcinomas were common 58% and adenocarcinoma contributed only to 24% (Chi-29.54, p < 0.0001). The discrepancy could be due to the small sample size in this series. Not all patients are referred to respiratory unit for diagnosis, and some patients are diagnosed in other units like medical, surgical and thoracic surgical unit therefore causing a selection bias which could be another reason for the discrepancy. However this could not have caused a significant impact on staging as, apart from small cell carcinomas which are aggressive other non-small cell carcinomas behave similarly.\nAn interesting finding is that the age specific incidence between males and females differ significantly. In males the peak incidence was between 60 to 69 age group, which was parallel to the national incidence data. The highest number in female group was between 40 to 49 age group. According to national data, peak incidence in females occurred in 50 to 54 age group. The proportion of patients below 50 years of age is higher in females. Compared to UK [5], females with lung cancer in Sri Lanka were younger according to national statistics, which is further strengthened by our data. Whether this is connected with the exposure to fire wood smoke during cooking, needs to be investigated.\nThe presence of distant metastasis at presentation was higher (24%) compared to the western figures (21%) [6]. This could have been due to the late presentation of patients in our country. The number of patients who had brain secondaries (13%) was less compared to the study done by Leslei et al (19%) but presence of multiple secondaries (47%) was higher compared to the same study (33%) [6].\nUsually about 15% of patients with lung cancer will have pleural effusions [7], but in our study it was very high reaching 56% [Chi-34.9,p < 0.001]. This was a major finding in our study which again provides evidence to the late presentation of patients.\nWhen the tumors were staged using TNM 7 and TNM 6 separately it was evident that there was no difference in the number of patients in T1 category, but the number in T3 group was higher in TNM7 (11) than with TNM 6 (5). This is due to the reclassification of tumors larger than 7 cm as T3 and change in classification of separate tumor nodule(s) in the same lobe from T4 descriptor to T3 in the recent staging system (3). Reclassification of pleural effusions as M1a has several impacts on the T descriptor in new system. Tumors that could be classified as T2 according to size fell into T4 group in TNM6. In new system they were reclassified as T2M1a. Similarly tumors that fit into T3 by size fell into T4 in TNM6 due to pleural effusions and they were reclassified as T3M1a. This change was another reason for increase in number of patients in T2 and T3 categories in TNM 7. When compared to the study done by Carvalo L et al, the number of patients with a change in staging with TNM 7 was higher (32% Vs 25.1%) [8].\nThe most important finding in our study was the number of patients in M category being doubled (34) compared to the old TNM 6th edition (17). This is due to the reclassification of pleural effusion as M1a in TNM7. In TNM 6 it was classified as T4. Due to the same change the number of patients in Stage IV disease in TNM 7 has increased and the number in stage IIIB has decreased compared to TNM 6. Therefore the number of patients falling in to the category of \"poor prognosis\" will be increased when TNM 7 is applied for staging.\nHowever when the two TNM systems were compared there was only 1.5% reduction in the number of patients undergoing surgery when TNM 7 was used compared to TNM 6 which was not statistically significant. This is because the patients with pleural effusions are considered inoperable in both the staging systems.\nThis study shows that a significant proportion of patients with lung cancer were having advanced disease with distant metastasis on presentation. The number of patients falling to stage IV is significantly higher when staged with TNM7 but there was no significant difference in the number of patients undergoing surgery when TNM 7 was used compared to TNM6.\nThe data sets supporting the results of this article are included within the article.\nThe study was carried out in the Respiratory Unit of the Teaching Hospital Kandy from 30th April 2010 to 31st March 2011. The teaching hospital Kandy is the second largest hospital in Sri Lanka and the respiratory unit is the major referral center for chest diseases for nearly one third of the island. The ethical clearance for the study was granted by the ethical committee of the Teaching Hospital Kandy. Written informed consent was obtained from participants.\nPatients referred to the Respiratory Unit with suspected lung cancer were screened clinically and were subjected to chest radiography. Those who had radiographic features suggestive of lung cancer underwent fiber optic bronchoscopy with bronchial biopsy, bronchial brushings and bronchial washings for cytology. Those patients with lesions placed peripherally underwent ultrasound guided or CT guided biopsy of the lesions. Patients who had pleural effusions underwent pleural biopsy and aspiration cytology in addition to bronchoscopy. All those patients who were confirmed as having lung cancer on histology were recruited to the study and were staged according to TNM7 as well as TNM6 for comparison. All patients underwent CT thorax and upper abdomen which was the main tool used for staging. Bronchoscopy was also used as a tool for staging. Ultrasound abdomen and chest, \u00d7 ray spine, serum calcium, serum alkaline phosphatase, CT brain and spine were used in some patients to detect secondaries if they had clinical features of direct spread or dissemination to distant organs. TNM 7th edition was used to decide whether the patient should undergo surgical or non-surgical management. Up to group stage IIIA was considered as suitable for surgery and others were considered for non-surgical management. The patients were also staged using the TNM 6th edition for comparison.\nClinical data were collected using a symptom check list and an interweaver administered questionnaire. Investigation details such as bronchoscopy and CT findings together with the clinical findings were entered into a data sheet.\nData were analyzed for descriptive statistics using percentages, and the TNM 7th edition was compared against TNM 6th edition using Chi-square statistics.\nDLBD is the corresponding author and is a Senior Registrar in Respiratory Medicine attached to the Respiratory Unit of the Teaching Hospital Kandy.

I had put on a whole fundraising recital, and I think I raised $500. I was just looking under every rock I could trying to scrape together the money to make this happen.\u201d\nHyman said he simply facilitated the means for Moore to further his education.\n\u201cAn extremely wealthy and generous fellow I knew, who wasn\u2019t a member of the (Temple Emanuel) congregation, arranged for David to get a small scholarship and help him get to Oberlin,\u201d Hyman said.\n\u201cI said, \u2018Rabbi Hyman, how can I ever thank you for this? How can I ever show my gratitude?\u2019\u201d Moore said. \u201cAnd he said off the cuff, kind of laughing, \u201cI just want two tickets when you make your Met debut.\u2019 I said, \u2018You got it.\u2019\n\u201cAnd we both laughed, because the idea that I could get into a major conservatory at all seemed like something out of my wildest dreams. So the idea of actually having an opera career and having a Met debut someday was completely off the scale.\u201d\n\u201cTo any singer worldwide, the Met is generally regarded as the top opera house in the world,\u201d Moore said.\n\u201cDavid called me in August and said, \u2018Rabbi Hyman, you may not remember me. My name is David Moore, and I used to sing for you in Beaumont. You arranged for me to attend Oberlin College,\u2019\u201d Hyman said. He hadn\u2019t seen Moore \u201csince he left for Oberlin.\u201d\n\u201cHe told me he was debuting at the Met and said tickets would be waiting for me,\u201d Hyman said. \u201cI cried because, you know, it may be one of the most remarkable moments in my life.\u201d\nMoore said, \u201cThe comment he made about the Met was so off the cuff at the time that once I reminded him, he remembered. So yeah, it was pretty amazing, because I just called him out of the blue.\u201d\nHyman, along with his friend Marcia Shapiro of Easton and his sister Debbie Geller of New York City, attended the performance of the \u201cThe Exterminating Angel\u201d on Tuesday, Nov. 14.\nMoore, as Col. Alvaro Gomez, was one of the principals in the opera by Thomas Ad\u00e8s. According to www.metopera.org, the opera \u201cis a surreal fantasy about a dinner party from which the guests can\u2019t escape.\u201d\nThe opera, Hyman said, was \u201cweird, very modern, dissonant and cacophonous,\u201d and Moore had \u201cchops that could kill a horse.\u201d\nMoore is grateful for all the help he got from many quarters.\nCalling his quest for Oberlin a \u201cgroup project,\u201d Moore said, \u201cMy father had a huge hand in it. The cost of Oberlin was well beyond the means of my family.\u201d Even with scholarships, there was a \u201cgood-sized gap\u201d that involved student loans and \u201creal sacrifices from the family.\u201d\n\u201cMy father took two extra jobs. He was playing with a top-10 country western band at the time \u2014 he was a bass player and backup singer with Tracy Byrd, who was touring the country at the time. So Dad would play for a stadium full of people, and then he would run out to the front lobby and sell T-shirts to make extra money for my tuition at Oberlin, and he ended up becoming the relief bus driver.\u201d\n\u201cAs my career developed, with every good thing that\u2019s happened, I\u2019ve always thought back to my dad, and to Rabbi Hyman, and to my voice teacher from Oberlin and a handful of other people who have all contributed to this,\u201d Moore said.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a broader message than just what happened to me,\u201d Hyman said. \u201cI\u2019m rarely speechless, but this just blew me away.\u201d\n\u201cThe rabbinical literature says that a mitzvah (good deed) leads to another mitzvah,\u201d Hyman said. \u201cIt\u2019s not about the payback, but the opportunity to do what\u2019s right, what\u2019s good and impactful at the moment.\u201d\n\u00ab URJ Press Release\t\u00bb Alvin Grollman",

        "raw_content": "Hello everybody! Following upon the previous post here\u2019s the third and final part of this listening guide. We\u2019ve got one short movement left, about 4 minutes of fast, fun music. This is the most straightforward movement of the three in terms of composition, which is counterbalanced by a brilliant and imaginative orchestration and such a dose of energy, virtuosity and overall excitement as to make the most ardent adherent of the \u2018classical music is boring\u2019 view to swallow their words.\nSo, here\u2019s the movement, in Martha Argerich\u2019s interpretation once again (she\u2019s just unbeatable):\n44:26 \u2013 We start with a series of four loud chords played by the brass (horns, trumpet and trombone) with a bit of help from the bassoons and the lower string, all above a trill on the snare drum \u2013 that\u2019s what is responsible for that constant noise. Those chords are a declaration of intent: remember, we\u2019ve just come out of the magical world of the second movement, and Ravel wants us to snap out of it, immediately. So we\u2019re forcible told: no more melancholy, no soft colors, no starry nights, it\u2019s all bright sunlight from now on, so come and join the fun (and as we\u2019ll see, this section will become a recurrent motif throughout the movement). These chords are followed by a thump on the bass drum for good measure (at 44:29), and the piano is ushered in.\n44:29-44:38 \u2013 well, folks, that\u2019s what we get for a melody! There is a line there, actually, which one could sing (like, four times slower), but it\u2019s so fast as to become just a fantastical swirl of notes which are hardly discernible to the listener. The pianist alternates the hands note after note, so that the line is evenly split between the two hands. More than that, the melody itself is just in the thumbs of each hand, while the outer fingers double it with various intervals. The resulting sound is vaguely oriental (say, at 44:34-44:36), and if you listen to this section a few times you\u2019ll be able to feel the shape of the line \u2013 the places where it goes up, or down again, and then leads to the final short buildup and the cadence (44:36-44:38). The orchestra accompanies with pizzicati on the strings (you might remember, that\u2019s the way of playing whereby the players pluck the strings), which add a bit of harmony and a rhythmic frame.\n44:39-44:53 \u2013 the piano continues with more of the same, but now it\u2019s just a backdrop to the utter funkiness that goes on in the orchestra. First the shrill E-flat clarinet (44:39) and later the piccolo (44:44) play something that sounds completely out of tune with what everybody else is playing \u2013 and it is! Even on its own their melody would sound eccentric and/or slightly crazy, but being played, as it is, in a different key, the effect is just doubled. I don\u2019t know how to characterize the stuff they are playing \u2013 it\u2019s not really jazzy and not really French, and not quite Klezmer-like \u2013 a mixture of everything and a bit more, to give an overall impression that somewhere, someone has gone bananas (in a jolly way).\nThe trombone gives a connecting pwwwam between the E-flat clarinet and the piccolo (44:42), and the piccolo is followed by a buildup made by the trombone, horn and trumpet (44:44-44:47), who together with the piano bring us to the climax of this section \u2013 which is a full repeat of the opening chords: brass, snare drum, bass drum and all (44:49-44:52).\n44:54-45:06 \u2013 our bridge section melody (if we follow the sonata form structure), played first by the piano (44:54-44:58) and then bravely, but at first not really audibly plucked by the strings, while the piano is hammering away barrages of repeating notes (44:59-45:06). The melody itself is a pseudo-serious one, even with a small pretense to pompousness, which traits are belied by the springing syncopated accents strewn all over the place (but do note the two seconds of a more hesitant mood at 44:56 \u2013 probably the only [slight] touch of melancholy in this movement, and an invention of Martha :-), which I personally like quite a lot).\n45:06-45:22 \u2013 a section based on the main theme of the movement. First, there is a dialogue between the woodwinds and the piano, both aided by plucks \u2013 the woodwinds by the harp, the piano by pizzicati in the strings. After two blocks of five bars (45:06-45:10 \u2013 piccolo+flute and piano, 45:10-45:14 \u2013 two different clarinets and piano), the piano takes over and continues the line on its own, gradually climbing up both in pitch and in volume. The horn adds its sound at 45:17, and jointly they reach yet another block of four chords, similar rhythmically to the opening ones (though offset by one beat triangle, and the thump on the bass drum is replaced by a crack of the whip (45:22).\n45:22-45:34 \u2013 the orchestra is playing our second subject motif; once again, not a proper melody but rather a collection of military fanfares alternating between the horns and the trumpet, with the rest of the orchestra helping a bit (you\u2019ll notice the snare drum at 45:24-45:25, adding to the military feel; also note how the bit at 45:27-45:30 has more of a French flavor). At 45:30 the horns\u2019 sound gets a bit softer and is followed by a downward slide played by the trombone \u2013 a distinctly jazzy sound, which, like a strong spice, is able to change the mood instantly. It is followed by the same slide played twice as slowly (a device known as \u2018augmentation\u2019) by the clarinet (45:32-45:33). The piano then enters with upward arpeggios (45:33-45:34), bringing us back to the initial mood of the section.\n45:35-45:50 \u2013 a repeat of the previous section with slight variations, and with the fanfares played now by the piano, accompanied by the other orchestral instruments in various combinations. The downward slide, once we get to 45:46, is played by repeated notes on the piano (once again with a dose of softer, dreamier harmony in the orchestra), and the section is once again ended by upward arpeggios on the piano (45:49-45:50), they, too, becoming softer this time.\n41:50-46:09 \u2013 a two-part sequence, each part consisting of three smaller sections:\n41:51, 46:00 \u2013 quick downward runs in the piano, accompanied by steady, march-like beats in the orchestra. (As for those runs, let me introduce a new term here: they are chromatic. A chromatic scale is one that includes every single note on the piano \u2013 all of the whites and all of the blacks. As such it doesn\u2019t have a key \u2013 you can start at any place and end at any place, and it will still sound the same [like what you hear at 45:51; for an upward chromatic scale, check out 48:00]. The word is derived from Chroma, meaning \u2018color\u2019 in Greek, as the chromatic notes were understood to add color to the normal, blander scale. Of course one could play chromatic scales on any instrument, it\u2019s just easier to explain on the piano, as the twelve semi-tones of the scale correspond exactly to the twelve keys there are within each octave of the piano \u2013 here\u2019s a picture of the keyboard for easier visualization, just count every key from any one \u2018A\u2019 to the one above it (don\u2019t forget the blacks!)\n45:54, 46:03 \u2013 upward arpeggios on the piano, accompanied by the same beating pulse in the orchestra;\n45:57, 46:06 \u2013 an upward scale (not a chromatic one) in the strings, while the piano plays our recurrent motif of four chords + low thump, taken from the opening.\n46:06-46:19 \u2013 the closing section of the exposition. My teacher once wrote a comment in one my scores: \u2018Shostakovich-Mickey Mouse\u2019. Well, if this isn\u2019t \u2018Ravel-Mickey Mouse\u2019, I don\u2019t know what is. \ud83d\ude42 Very quick passage-work in the right hand, accompanied by \u2018um-pah, um-pah\u2019 in the left hand \u2013 a completely cartoonish place, especially if played at such a breakneck speed as Martha does. Structurally, we\u2019ve got once again a two-part sequence (46:09, 46:12), followed by a chromatic buildup aided by the orchestra (inaudible in this recording, except for the trill on the cymbals at 46:16-46:17). At the end of this buildup there\u2019s a loud and bright chord from the orchestra (46:18), and then everything plummets down, and we\u2019re done with the exposition. (And we\u2019re halfway through!)\n46:19-47:05 \u2013 the development. Largely divided into two sections, each with a subdivision. The first section is 46:18-46:40. It begins with a low murmur in the celli (46:20-46:22), whereupon the bassoons enter and play the entire main \u2018melody\u2019 of the movement. I\u2019m not a bassoon player, but somehow, listening to this passage, I get a feeling this is a hard place \ud83d\ude42 (and do give a short listen to this \u2013 it\u2019s even faster). Since we\u2019re in the development, some combination or clash of various motifs is due, and we get it: at 46:26, the harp enters doubled by the celli, playing the motif from the bridge section; and at 46:30 we hear a quiet fanfare played by the horn \u2013 a short reminder of the second subject section.\nThe piano enters at 46:32, marking the second part of our first section (of the development) \u2013 the piano also plays the melody in full, accompanied by runs by the (poor?) bassoonists. The harp and celli once again add their counterpoint (46:35), and the horns with the fanfare (two of them this time) enter around 46:38.\n46:41-47:05 \u2013 the second large section of the development. The piano will only play simple runs throughout this section, accompanying the orchestra, so we\u2019ll leave it for now \u2013 the orchestra is where the interesting stuff happens. Structurally, there are five sections here, each a bit higher in pitch and volume than the one before, like steps one climbs in order to advance. The entry points are 46:41, 46:47, 46:53, 46:59, 47:02, with the last two being twice as short as the first three \u2013 as usual, getting impatient towards the end, which helps increase the tension and make the point of arrival (the recapitulation at 47:05) feel more satisfying.\nFrom the motivic point of view, these five short sections bring together almost every bit of melodic material we had in the movement \u2013 the bridge section theme, the fanfares (two different motifs taken from there), and of course the main melody, running underneath it all (Mickey Mouse is absent \u2013 that one is a pure piano piece). It would be too cumbersome to list every single entry, and part of the fun is in their slightly chaotic juxtaposition, but here are a few to note: 46:43 \u2013 clarinet, bridge section, 46:45 \u2013 horns, second subject fanfare, 46:47 \u2013 trumpet, another bit from the second subject (the French flavor bit), 46:54 \u2013 same motif played by the shrill E-flat clarinet, 46:56 \u2013 harp and piccolo adding yet another layer of the bridge section motif, and it\u2019s a free-for-all from there.\n47:05 \u2013 hah, we\u2019ve arrived. It\u2019s the recapitulation, a repeat of almost all the sections we\u2019ve had in the exposition, some of them in full, some in a shortened version, all of them with slight variations. The drive is almost incessant from here, with barely a moment of relief, so in some ways the entire recapitulation is a huge buildup towards the end of the movement (and the entire concerto with it).\n47:05-47:17 \u2013 the main motif section, taken from the funky part (44:39). The motif itself is played by the strings, while the piano takes over the funkiness, once again in a totally unrelated key (though I feel this place is more effective in the exposition; the E-flat clarinet just seems to be the right instrument for the job). 47:13 \u2013 a chromatic climb in the piano (again, totally unrelated to what the orchestra is playing), leading towards 47:17-47:29 \u2013 the bridge section motif, played in broken chords by the piano and doubled by the woodwinds; quite a change of mood in comparison to the near-stateliness of 44:54! (I\u2019ve got a sense of a quick clock ticking in the background here). There\u2019s another climb at 47:26 (not a chromatic one), a cadence of three happy chords (47:28) and we get into 47:29-47:46 \u2013 the second subject section, played by the piano alternating with the trumpet (the snare drum keeping it company). All of the woodwinds join in at 47:35, and then suddenly there\u2019s a respite from the relentless drive at 47:37 \u2013 it\u2019s a variation on the jazzy downward slide bit we had at 45:30. A two-part sequence \u2013 a downward run on the piano followed by the chromatic downward slide played by the clarinet + some repeated notes on the piano (47:37-47:41); then once again a downward run on the piano, followed by a more energetic slide played by the trombone + more repeated notes on the piano (47:42-47:46). Then there\u2019s a short upward run in the woodwinds (03:29), and we arrive at\n47:47-47:57 \u2013 our Ravel-Mickey Mouse section. As quirky and cartoonish as it was in the exposition, and here it even gets an expanded ending, as the chromatic climb is twice as long (47:52-47:54, and then four bars more: 47:55-47:56). A trill on the cymbal once again accompanies the last stages of the climb.\n47:57 \u2013 the orchestra play the beginning of the bridge section motif one last time, and then there\u2019s a keyboard-spanning chromatic scale on the piano (48:00-48:05), doubled by the woodwinds: first the bassoons, then the clarinets and finally the flute and piccolo \u2013 everybody rushing up; a really effective place.\n48:05 \u2013 a final buildup, starting with the piano on its own, but it\u2019s soon joined by the woodwinds, and then by the rest of the orchestra \u2013 there\u2019s a big crescendo (increase of volume), tension is rising, and, finally, at 48:11, the movement ends with one last, rejoicing repeat of the opening chords, the piano adding its lowest notes to the the final thump of the bass drum.\nWell, that\u2019s it! We\u2019ve done it, quite a journey! Hope you\u2019ve enjoyed, and I\u2019ll see you at some point next month. Cheers for now. BG",

        "raw_content": "\u2190 Brain Organization, Not Size, Key to Intelligence\nLet\u2019s Explore \u2192\nTimeline of the Universe Image credit: Rhys Taylor, Cardiff University.\nThe Fermi Paradox asks why our galaxy hasn\u2019t already been colonized by alien civilizations. The argument goes like this. A lot of stars in the Milky Way are like our Sun. Many of them are a lot older than the Sun. Many of these stars would have habitable planets like Earth. If intelligent life developed on some these planets, a few would have developed a technological civilization capable of space travel. Therefore, the galaxy should have already been colonized.\nClearly, however, the galaxy hasn\u2019t been colonized by an alien civilizations. We would have noticed them. For that matter, they would be here by now unless they are deliberately choosing to hide themselves from us. So something must be wrong with the arguments. The often drawn conclusion is that life or at least intelligent life may be very rare. Some go as far to say that we on Earth may be the only intelligent life in our galaxy, perhaps in the universe.\nWhile I believe it is true that many stars in our galaxy will have habitable planets, most of them may not have hospitable to life until much more recently.\nThe Big Bang occurred 13.796 billion years ago according to latest Planck satellite data. After the Big Bang, the universe went through several phases: a rapid inflation occurring in under a small fraction of a second where the universe expanded to an enormous size, the next 3 minutes that fixed the amount of hydrogen and helium in the universe, cooling with atoms forming 400,000 year later, a dark period until 400 million years, the first stars of hydrogen and helium, the first galaxies 1 billion years after the Big Bang, then 1-9 billion year after the Big Bang galaxies begin to form and eventually evolve into their familiar structures and shapes. Our Milky Way galaxy formed about 1 billion years after the Big Bang. Our solar system formed about 8 billion years later.\nThe real question for the Fermi Paradox is whether during that first 8 billion years of the Milky Way was it possible for life to have developed and thrived on Earth-like planets in our galaxy. It seems likely life should have arisen during that time unless life is very uncommon in the universe; however, the odds of life getting a hold in our galaxy were probably much reduced in our galaxy\u2019s early history. During the first 8 billion years, our galaxy probably crashed into other galaxies and passed through a period of intense star formation. Recent analysis has shown that the peak of star formation in the universe was between 9 and 11 billion years ago. This would not have been easy period for life to develop or to survive for the extended time required to evolve intelligent life. Many large stars with relatively short lifespans were scattered throughout the galaxy. The death of these stars would result in enormous supernovas that would destroy life on any nearby star system. If life somehow came into being, it could have been destroyed quickly in the next galactic collision or by a gamma ray burst from a nearby exploding star.\nOne explanation for the Fermi Paradox is simply that the conditions for the first 8-9 billion years in our universe and our galaxy were not conducive to life. Conditions were too chaotic. If we assume that life requires about 4-5 billion years to reach intelligence and consciousness at our level, as was required on Earth, then intelligent life on other planets might be roughly at our level \u2013 some more advanced, some less so \u2013 but perhaps very few with an ability to colonize the galaxy. Of those with ability to colonize the galaxy, some (maybe even most) may have had little interest in it. At any rate, the extended period of time for any of these civilizations to have colonized the galaxy might not have existed.\nAnother explanation might be the mysterious dark energy that began accelerating the expansion of the universe. Dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy that cosmologists use to explain the apparent increasing rate of expansion of the universe. Before the observations were made that universe was expanding at an increasing rate, many scientists believed that gravitational pull would eventually cause the matter in the universe to collapse back on itself. Some had cyclic models in which the universe expanded, collapsed, and in a bounce expanded again endlessly.\nThe nature of dark energy is not in any way understood. It seems to be a force, much like dark matter, which is required to make our observations of the universe work out according to the other laws about which we feel confident. One of the mysteries of dark energy, however, is why did it become more dominant than gravity 5 billion years ago. If dark energy had predominated over gravity in the early universe, galaxies and star systems like ours could not have formed. Life would not exist and we would not be here. This is but another example of the apparent fine-tuning of the universe for life.\nCould there be a connection between gravity, dark energy, life, and mind? We know the existence of life requires gravity in the early universe to form stars to create the carbon and other elements for life. Might life also require dark energy to change something fundamental in the nature of matter and space before it could come about?\nIf that is the case, the fact that our solar system and our Earth with an ability to form life came into existence around 4 billion years ago would not be a coincidence. Life could not have come into existence earlier.\nDavid Layzer has speculated that potential entropy in the universe may be growing at a faster rate than actual entropy. In other words, we should see more disorder in the universe and less structure than we are seeing. The difference between potential and actual entropy allows for the growth of information. Verlinde\u2019s controversial theory of entropic gravity derives gravity as an emergent property from the information associated with material bodies. Gravity and entropy may be connected to information accumulation in the universe. From gravity comes the large-scale structures of the universe. From stars and galaxies come carbon. Life can be thought of as information encoding itself in matter. And mind, of course, is yet another level of information encoding. We might think of all three as accumulation or concentration of information.\nThis could mean that life and mind are somehow encoded in the universe in the characteristics of space. Five billion years ago, space evolved to enable the development of life. The universe is unfolding in a manner that increases information. Life and mind as we know it may only be transitory states in the evolution of something even greater.\nThis entry was posted in Aliens, Fermi Paradox, Origin of Life. Bookmark the permalink.\n14 Responses to Does This Explain the Fermi Paradox?\nMaybe there are here. Maybe they just are not like us, maybe they cannot be seen. It is unrealistic to think that the whole Universe looks and acts like us (God forbid).\nI wouldn\u2019t necessarily expect other intelligent life to look and act like us.\nHowever, I think if intelligent life has evolved elsewhere, I think we will eventually know about some of it.\nA few weeks back I read Dimitar Sasselov\u2019 excellent The Life of Super Earths. Sasselov makes a great argument based on the life cycle of stars that we are only at the beginning of the phase where the universe has conditions that are highly primed for the development of life. Up until 8-9 billion years ago stars were not producing much in the way of complex elements- most notably carbon. Now and in the future as far out as 100 billion years stars will be producing more and more of these elements- the soup of life so to speak. Life itself may arise relatively easily once heavy elements are present in a large enough quantities but, if our experience is any indication for complex life to emerge it takes a grindingly long period of time- 3 billion years in the earth\u2019s case to emerge. According to Sasselov simple life and the universe are in the same age range- the universe were of retirement age life on earth would be 15 years old. Given all this he thinks the Fermi Paradox can be answered with the fact that we are among the first to have arrived, but given the projected increase in conditions ripe for life in the universe for a long time to come are certainly not the last.\nThat is pretty much my thought too but wasn\u2019t aware of Sasselov.\nonescience2013 says:\nStatistically there\u2019s for sure intelligent life in other sites of the Universe and they necessarily have to have a life span. Maybe the distances between them (us) are so great that cope with time needed for a life form to become intelligent (radio-telescope era), so the chances for two similar intelligent civilizations to encounter are very, very small\u2026\nThe general argument of the Fermi Paradox is that given enough time an advanced civilization would figure out a way of expanding itself throughout the galaxy. One proposed way would be to create intelligent machines which could explore other star systems and be able to multiply themselves to explore other star systems. If this happened, then we should see evidence of the machines in our own system. The same could be done with living organisms migrating from system to system in self-sustaining vehicles that might pass through multiple generations before they arrive at their destination.\nIn other words, distance shouldn\u2019t be a problem if there is enough time. If the initial civilization sent out two probes and each probe sent out two more probes\u2026 well, you can see that the civilization either by machine or generational vehicles should in a billion years be all over the galaxy.\nIn addition, we might also be able to see evidence of advanced civilizations in anomalous astronomical phenomena that would indicate construction activity on a star system scale.\nI can agree with that, but I also see to many optimism. An intelligent civilization surviving a billion years? Come on. Dinosaurs thrive for 350 millions years, or so, just by \u201cbeing there\u201d. Humanity\u2019s bigger threat is precisely the trait that makes us so unique: Intelligence (?)\u2026\nI heard that dark energy is the critical ingredient to holding open a wormhole which woiuld allow time travel. Maybe intelligent life has evolved and started the industrial production of dark energy in order to explore the past. And that is the reason for the rise in observed dark energy.\nMaybe that intelligent life is humanity\u2019s decedents? Not sure why we would see the dark energy though without having developed that technology yet in Earth time.\nI am dubious, however, that time travel is really possible. If it is, then we should see evidence of time travelers (somewhat like the Fermi Paradox and aliens) unless there is some sort of Prime Directive for time travelers that prevents them causing effects on the time they are visiting. Your argument, I guess, would be that dark energy is the evidence but then that would mean there is no Prime Directive so there would be nothing to prevent them from affecting other things.\nI am working on a new post that relates to this that I hope you will be able to read soon.\nbobthemooreboy says:\nConvergent evolution principles probably determine that life elsewhere has similar if not the same DNA structure as our own. The cheapest and fastest way for our neighbors to visit here is by electromagnetic radiation information being continually broadcast to us (or to the whole rest of the galaxy). The information will be on how we can reconstruct themselves here. That info is out there now and we will sooner or later learn to see it and open our door for them.\nDefinitely a possibility. I\u2019ve also have wondered if there is a communication mechanism that is faster than light that we haven\u2019t discovered. For centuries we knew nothing about electromagnetic radiation so it is possible there are other forms of energy we know nothing about now. If more advanced civilizations learn of this other mechanism they would naturally prefer that over electromagnetic so that would explain why we are not detecting signals. They are sending information. It is just in a form we do not know of yet.\nIf two-way communication is not important it seems to me that using mere light speed info that started its journey long ago, is not important. When alien visitors are reconstructed here from the info sent out (and matured with accompanying memes, etc.) it will be to them as if they just left their previous state.\nAlso, I read somewhere that faster-than-light fermions would have more and more energy as they approached the speed of light from the infinitely fast side. Sort of the reverse of the \u201cmore speed equals more energy\u201d that exists on this side of the speed of light. If that holds, the extremely fast fermions on the other side of the speed of light would have extremely low energies and thus not easily detectable. But, like you say, there may be another mechanism yet undiscovered.\nThat assumes the aliens don\u2019t care to know what happened with their transmissions. Of course, the accepted science is that nothing travels faster than light but science is a history of finding exceptions and disproving previous \u201cknowledge\u201d.\nYou make a good point about the lack of motives for one-way communications. Howbeit, the ones that care to know the results of their transmissions are likely the ones who have transmitted the info regarding making copies of themselves. I understand this would leave the original \u201csender\u201d aliens out of the knowing and the only knowers would be the reconstructed copies.\nBut I venture that your second point \u2013about discovering a faster-than-light potential\u2013 may have a solution embedded in the very implementation of the ordinary light speed transmission. Wouldn\u2019t it be astonishing to find that reconstituted copies here of aliens there had some sort of instantaneous quantum entanglement of their experiences? I think the theory forbids it, but as long as we\u2019re not prohibiting the faster than light transmissions, we may as well include the sharing of experiences that are quantumly entangled.",

However, he defends his generation saying that he has been able to learn the ropes and bring his experience to this new platform.\nWell that\u2019s just peachy.\nI\u2019m glad the new younger generation (the one I\u2019m apart of), whose edge was the knowledge of the digital world, is being screwed out of that.\nHere\u2019s a link to the article. It\u2019s actually very well written and a great read. But scary for those of us still in college or approaching the job market in advertising. Not only do I feel like it\u2019s a cut-throat environment between my colleagues and myself, but now I\u2019m going to have to continue to compete with seniors who will still know how to write a mean copy.\nOn a bright note:\nI\u2019m absolutely in love with this commercial Ad Age posted that is a spot for the Levi\u2019s and Opening Ceremony collaboration.

The Hollywood star recently opened up about life with Esmeralda, three, and 22-month-old Amada, her daughters with longtime love Ryan Gosling. Eva admitted to E! News that she lets her kids dress themselves no matter how silly they look because, in the long run, there are bigger \"battles\" she'd like to win.\n\"I let them wear whatever they want,\" she confessed during a celebration for her Eva Mendes Collection for New York & Company. \"They have the right\u2026they want to wear jammies all day or if they want to go in a costume to the market, I let them do that stuff.\"\nThe actress lets her daughters dress however they want\n\u201cThey never have matching socks.

        "raw_content": "TORONTO \u2014 A serial killer sexually assaulted many of his victims, all men from Toronto's gay village, before murdering them and hiding their remains around a property where he worked as landscaper. Bruce McArthur, 67, pleaded guilty Tuesday to first-degree murder in the deaths of eight men who went missing between 2010 and 2017. \"Mr. McArthur intended and caused all of their deaths,\" said Crown attorney Michael Cantlon. \"After he murdered the men, Mr. McArthur, in an effort to avoid detection, dismembered their bodies.\" McArthur, wearing a black sweater over a collared shirt, avoided looking at the crowd in the courtroom that included members of victims' families and the city's LGBTQ community. \"Guilty,\" he said in a soft voice over and over \u2014 eight times in total \u2014 when asked how he pleaded to each count. Police arrested McArthur a year ago and eventually charged him in the deaths of Selim Esen, Andrew Kinsman, Majeed Kayhan, Dean Lisowick, Soroush Mahmudi, Skandaraj Navaratnam, Abdulbasir Faizi, and Kirushna Kanagaratnam. Prosecutors laid out previously unheard details about the case in court Tuesday, saying investigators found victims' belongings in McArthur's home, including a bracelet owned by Navaratnam, jewelry that belonged to Lisowick and a notebook that belonged to Esen. They also found a duffel bag containing duct tape, a surgical glove, rope, zip ties, a bungee cord and syringes in McArthur's bedroom. Items with victims' DNA and the murder weapon used in two cases were also found in McArthur's van \u2014 although court didn't specify the weapon used. Many of the killings involved sexual assaults and ligatures, Cantlon said, adding that some also included confinement with ropes. He said several of the slain men had also been \"staged,\" but did not elaborate on what that entailed. The term is typically used to suggest a body has been repositioned for a specific purpose. McArthur buried his victims' remains in planters at a home where he worked as a gardener and in a ravine next to the property, Cantlon said. Karen Fraser, one of the home's owners, said she can't reconcile the energetic, enthusiastic man who worked on her property with the killer he turned out to be. \"The man I knew actually didn't exist,\" she said outside court. \"This is someone else entirely.\" McArthur was married and had two children, but grappled with his sexuality until his relationship dissolved in the late 1990s, according to a personality assessment conducted after he pleaded guilty in 2003 to beating a man with a pipe. A psychological report concluded his risk for violence was minimal. Fraser recalled meeting two of the victims when McArthur brought them to her home and said she would forever be haunted by those encounters, though she would not specify which men they were. First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. A sentencing hearing for McArthur is scheduled for Feb. 4, when the court is expected to hear from those affected by the killings. Some expressed relief at McArthur's plea, but said nothing can bring back the men he killed or undo the harm he caused. \"These losses have forever changed the lives of families, friends, loved ones and have left our communities shaken and aggrieved,\" said The 519, an organization serving Toronto's LGBTQ communities. \"The fact that it remained unknown and unseen for so many years is its own inconceivable tragedy.\" The LGBTQ community had long said someone was targeting men who were vanishing from the city's gay village. In the neighbourhood on Tuesday, some said a rift still exists between the community and police. \"I'm glad McArthur pleaded guilty, but we have been pleading with police to take our safety concerns seriously while all these men went missing,\" said Dave Oh. John Thornton said he appreciated the work of the homicide squad but noted it had taken a long time for police to make an arrest. \"Even the chief didn't seem to appreciate what we had to say about a serial killer in our midst,\" he said. In December 2017, Chief Mark Saunders said there was no evidence a serial killer was preying on men missing from the gay village. Tensions between police and some in the LGBTQ community were reinforced last week when Pride Toronto members voted to ban uniformed officers from marching in annual Pride parades. Toronto police Det. David Dickinson said police continue to investigate the case. \"If there were mistakes made or lessons learned, absolutely we should learn from them,\" he said, adding that he didn't know why McArthur committed his crimes. \"I don't know if we'll ever know why.\" Toronto Mayor John Tory called McArthur a \"monster.\" \"Our city deserves two things: justice and answers,\" he said. \"I will continue to make sure that justice is served and that all questions raised by this tragic case are answered.\" Police had spent years investigating the disappearances of many men who would later be confirmed as McArthur's victims. In November 2012, they launched Project Houston to investigate the disappearances of 42-year-old Faizi, 40-year-old Navaratnam and 58-year-old Kayhan. They closed the probe in April 2014 after being unable to identify a suspect. In the summer of 2017, police launched a separate investigation known as Project Prism into the disappearances of 49-year-old Kinsman and 44-year-old Esen. Within months, McArthur came on the police radar, according to court documents. On Jan. 17, 2018, investigators uncovered evidence alleging McArthur was responsible for both Kinsman and Esen's deaths, along with the deaths of other unidentified people. The next day, police arrested McArthur at his apartment and charged him with the murders of Kinsman and Esen. They brought cadaver dogs the following day to a property where McArthur stored his landscaping equipment, eventually finding the dismembered remains of all the victims in the area. Lead investigator Insp. Hank Idsinga said the case marked the largest forensic examination in the force's history. Officers spent four months scouring McArthur's apartment, seizing 1,800 exhibits and snapping more than 18,000 photographs. They also searched more than 100 properties where McArthur worked.

        "title": "Domee Shi's Oscar nomination for 'Bao' makes history",
        "raw_content": "Food-loving Canadian director heads to the Oscars with Pixar's 'Bao'\nBecky Neiman-Cobb (left) and Domee Shi (right). Provided by Pixar/Disney\nFrom Inside Out, Incredibles 2 and the upcoming Toy Story 4, Toronto-raised Domee Shi has touched some of the most popular animated films, released by the world\u2019s biggest animator. Now Shi has solidified her place in history for being the first female director to lead a Pixar short film with her Oscar-nominated movie Bao.\n\u201cI feel so honored and so humbled to be the first but also, I hope that I\u2019m the first of many and it is an ongoing trend,\u201d Shi told Yahoo News Canada. \u201cI\u2019m usually a very shy person, I\u2019m kind of introverted and I don\u2019t like my picture taken but in this case, yes, show me around so that I can bring hope to other nerdy girls like me.\u201d\nShi graduated from Sheridan College\u2019s animation program in 2011 and was selected for the Pixar internship program. She\u2019s stayed with the company, leading to her directorial debut with Pixar and the high-profile Oscar nomination. Shi\u2019s parents, who still live in Toronto, were the first people to congratulate her on the recognition.\n\u201cMy parents were the first people to text me in the morning and my dad, he was so over the moon that he just started texting me in Chinese, and I can\u2019t read Chinese,\u201d Shi said. \u201cThey\u2019re just so excited and proud, and they can now say that their daughter is an Oscar nominated short film director, and I\u2019m sure they\u2019ve been saying that to all their friends.\u201d\nAs a story artist, Shi always thought she would remain behind her drawings, relatively unidentifiable, but this latest recognition has pushed her to the forefront of the entertainment industry. When Shi walks the coveted Academy Awards red carpet, it will be at a time when diversity in Hollywood is a hot topic of discussion. With campaigns like Times\u2019s Up and #OscarsSoWhite demanding more women and people of colour in key roles, Shi hopes that more unique, creative stories can be told and recognized in the entertainment industry.\n\u201cWe have to look at different sources of creativity and not just draw from the same well over and over again. I\u2019m just really happy that the Academy and that the industry in general is hopefully realizing that,\u201d Shi said. \u201cYou just get a more unique, more universally resonant product out of it, it just seems logical to me.\u201d\nCreating Bao\nDrawing from her childhood in a Chinese family growing up in Toronto, Shi decided to share her personal life experience with the world in Bao. It tells the story of a Chinese mother, going through empty nest syndrome, who gets a second chance at motherhood when a little dumpling comes to life.\n\u201cI just had this idea of this Chinese mom coddling this little baby dumpling boy to death,\u201d Shi said. \u201cThat was the image that popped into my head one night in the office and from that image, I kind of built this story.\u201d\nShi came up with the idea over four years ago, while she was working at Pixar as a story artist on the film Inside Out. When she was a student, Shi loved making short films at school and wanted to start working on a short of her own. Shi herself grew up as an only child to \u201coverprotective\u201d Chinese parents. She wanted to explore the relationship between the parents and the child, but from the parents\u2019 point of view.\n\u201cI wanted to understand why my mom smothered me so much growing up and I was always that super frustrated, coddled little dumpling,\u201d Shi said.\nDomee Shi (right) with her mother Ningsha Zhong (left). Provided by Pixar/Disney\nThe mother in the story is very much inspired by Shi\u2019s own mother. The hands of the animated character and the intricacies of the dumpling-making technique are all inspired by Shi\u2019s mother, who even flew out to California to teach dumpling making to the Pixar team.\n\u201cThey always say write what you know, so I based it in Toronto, kind of around the same area that I grew up in, and I also wanted to celebrate the food I grew up with,\u201d Shi said.\nProvided by Pixar/Disney\nToronto connection\nAny Torontonian that watches the film will quickly spot quintessentially Toronto landmarks in Bao, including the city\u2019s streetcars. But Shi didn\u2019t know at the outset that she was going to place the film in her hometown. When her art team asked for references to bring this animated world to life, Shi knew a real-world example would be the most helpful.\n\u201cI don\u2019t see Toronto really depicted a lot in movies and if I do, it\u2019s always disguised as another city, and I just wanted to pay homage to my hometown,\u201d Shi said. \u201cI also think it just gives the short a more unique vibe, that it\u2019s a Chinese immigrant story but it takes place in Canada, so it gets even more specific.\u201d\nEven though Shi has made the move to California, there are plenty of things she misses about Toronto, primarily the food.\n\u201cThat\u2019s one of the things that I realized when I moved out to California was that you can\u2019t buy a Jamaican beef patty at every corner anymore or eat a roti,\u201d Shi said. \u201cI feel like the Chinese food in Toronto is amazing too\u2026so many restaurants that just pop up like every month in Toronto that serve really authentic, region specific Chinese food.\u201d\nBut as her career continues to push forward, including working on a new feature film with Pixar, Shi\u2019s unique perspective to stories and storytelling is still at the core of what she creates.\n\u201cPeople have been coming up [to me] saying they appreciate seeing their families and their childhood and their world on the big screen,\u201d Shi said. \u201cI think that it didn\u2019t really hit me until I started speaking to audience members about it but I think that\u2019s really important to people, so they can see themselves on screen.\u201d",

He also trains a 12-strong deaf children\u2019s side.\n\u201cIt\u2019s tough, but I feel spiritually bound to my players. It\u2019s my duty to make sure they succeed,\u201d Shafi told Reuters, as young men behind him bounced balls off their feet, gesturing to each other with hand signals when they passed the ball.\nViolence has dropped in Iraq, but bomb blasts and gunfire still echo across Baghdad. That has made life hard for the players and sometimes interrupted practice.\n\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to attend training sessions when there are gunfights and blasts everywhere. I\u2019m afraid to come out,\u201d said Mohammed Jawad Yusif, 20, talking in sign language through his coach. \u201cSometimes there\u2019s no transport because of roadblocks.\u201d\nYusif said one of his friends, also deaf, was killed when gunmen opened fire on a car he was traveling in.\n\u201cIt sapped my strength to play for a while,\u201d he said.\nShafi recalled when a gunfight between rival militias once broke out near the training ground. The players couldn\u2019t hear the gunfire, so he signaled for them to hit the ground.\n\u201cThey didn\u2019t understand at first. I panicked, but eventually they went down. When the shooting stopped and they got up, they still thought it was a new training drill,\u201d he said.\nIraqis love their football.\nThe country was the surprise winner of last year\u2019s Asian Cup competition.\nThe victory brought rare joy and unity to the shattered nation, with Shi\u2019ites, Sunni Arabs and Kurds pouring into the streets to celebrate their team\u2019s unlikely 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia in the final in Jakarta in July.\nWith the national team as their inspiration, the deaf-mute squad qualified for the regional championships of the Asia Pacific Deaf Games in Kuwait.\nShafi founded the team in 2003, shortly after U.S.-led forces toppled Saddam Hussein.\nAt a sports club one evening, he met a group of young deaf men who were bowling, swimming and bodybuilding. He suggested they play soccer.\nIn training, he works with two other coaches who do not know sign language, but who do the physical training. Shafi teaches the various moves, tactics and strategy.\n\u201cPhysical training is crucial, but it\u2019s not enough. You need someone who can communicate ideas with the kids, especially something technical,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s still difficult \u2014 with sign language you never get the whole idea across.\u201d\nDespite the challenges \u2014 the referee has to wave a flag instead of blowing a whistle and each team\u2019s trainer sits on the sidelines translating his decisions in sign language \u2014 Shafi says the games are as good as any other.\nThe players say sometimes only half the squad turns up to training when security is bad. Those who do often travel in fear of being kidnapped or killed on Iraq\u2019s still dangerous roads.\nBut with attacks across Iraq down 60 percent since last June, thanks to an additional 30,000 U.S. troops, Sunni neighborhood patrols and a ceasefire by a feared Shi\u2019ite militia, the team now manages more training sessions.\n\u201cThe violence has created a lot of problems for us,\u201d said Adel Khalef Mahmoud, 20, also using sign language.\n\u201cBut we manage.\u201d\nWriting by Tim Cocks; Editing by Charles Dick",

        "raw_content": "Trump\u2019s Disregard For Islamophobic Hate Crimes Shows He Cares Little About Muslim American Lives\nOn Sunday evening in Quebec, a 27-year-old white French-Canadian man who had reportedly expressed anti-immigrant views and support for Donald Trump online walked into a mosque with one alleged purpose: to kill Muslims. While Muslims were in their house of worship praying, he opened fire. Instantly families scrambled to shield their loved ones from this terrorist\u2019s deadly mission. By the time it was over, six were murdered and countless others were wounded simply for \u201cpracticing their faith,\u201d as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted.\nLet me be blunt: this type of attack could very likely happen in the United States in the near future given the recent plots by white supremacists to kill Muslim Americans. While I would imagine many Americans have not heard about these terror plots since our media barely covers them, it\u2019s fair to assume that the president of the United States and his team are aware of them. Here are just a few.\nIn October, three men allegedly part of a domestic terrorist group called \u201cThe Crusaders,\u201d were arrested for reportedly plotting to kill Somali Muslim immigrants living in an apartment complex in Garden City, Kansas. The three spoke of dipping their bullets in pig\u2019s blood before shooting the Muslims \u2015 echoing Trump\u2019s campaign speech that General Pershing had done the same. (Pershing did not.)\nMany Americans have not heard about these terror plots [against Muslims] since our media barely covers them, but it\u2019s fair to assume that the president of the United States and his team are aware of them.\nIn December, white supremacist Glendon Scott Crawford was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Why? Well he intended to use a radioactive weapon of mass destruction to kill Muslim Americans in upstate New York.\nThen there\u2019s Robert Doggart of Tennessee, a self-described Christian minister, whose trial begins later this month. Doggart\u2019s plot allegedly included using explosives and machetes to kill Muslim Americans simply because of their faith.\nAnd recently, there have been numerous other incidents intended to terrorize Muslim Americans. For example, an alleged Trump fan was arrested in September and charged with a hate crime for setting fire to a mosque in Florida. And over the weekend, only a day after Trump\u2019s announcement of a \u201cMuslim ban,\u201d a mosque in Texas was burned to the ground. That was the second mosque set on fire in Texas in the last few weeks. And the list goes on and on.\nBut Trump is silent about all of this. Does Trump not discuss it because it would upset his base? Or worse, does Trump simply believe that Muslim lives don\u2019t matter? Unclear, but both are fair questions given what we have seen from Trump. And with each crime gone unspoken, it seems more and more likely that the latter is true.\nTrump, who despicably stated during his campaign that \u201cIslam hates us,\u201d knows very well that Muslim-bashing plays well with the GOP base. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that over 65 percent of Republican primary voters supported Trump\u2019s call for a temporary ban on Muslims who are not U.S. citizens coming into the United States. Today, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll, most Trump supporters approve of the measure.\nAnd while Muslims are by the far the number one victims of the so-called Islamic State, we hear little concern from Trump for Muslims suffering their wrath. Instead, on Friday Trump announced he would give priority to Christian refugees in Syria over Muslims who want to come to America. (Thankfully, numerous Christian leaders have denounced Trump\u2019s call to prioritize refugee admissions based on religion.)\nIt truly seems Trump is trying to create a religious sectarian divide in this country. That\u2019s not only wrong, it\u2019s dangerous. It will incite violence against Muslim Americans. Period.\nIt truly seems Trump is trying to create a religious sectarian divide in this country. That\u2019s not only wrong, it\u2019s dangerous.\nAnd despite these hate crimes and terrorist plots to kill Muslim Americans (and others) by right-wing extremists, Trump is now reportedly on the verge of altering a federal program that sought to counter the threats of all forms of extremism \u2015 including white supremacism \u2015 to have it solely focus on Islamic extremists. The dangerous problem with this is twofold: first it furthers the wildly incorrect notion that only Muslims are terrorists. And second it could make it easier for white supremacists to organize, plot and possibly carry out terror attacks against people of color, Muslims or even Jews.\nThe last time I was this concerned was in February 2015. I was invited to a meeting at the White House with then-President Barack Obama along with 10 other Muslim American activists. At that meeting I expressed my fears about Republican politicians irresponsibly ginning up hate of Muslims. For example, a GOP Oklahoma state representative had called Islam a \u201ccancer\u201d that should be \u201ccut out\u201d of America. And at the time GOP presidential candidate Bobby Jindal was falsely claiming that Muslims in America want to impose \u201cno-go\u201d zones and Sharia law.\nAs I explained to Obama, these politicians\u2019 hateful words were contributing to a toxic environment that could radicalize a person to attack Muslims. The president sincerely expressed his concern for our situation.\nBut sadly, not long after, a man who reportedly hated all religions, shot and killed three young Muslim Americans near the campus of the University of North Carolina, by putting his gun to their heads. This was an execution of three beautiful young people by a man who hated them simply for their faith.\nWhile it\u2019s impossible to say if the hateful words of GOP politicians played a role in that attack, I can say with certainty that the anti-Muslim climate we live in today is actually worse than February 2015. Then we had lesser-known Republican politicians fear-mongering around Islam. Today, we have the president of the United States doing just that.\nIf Trump truly wants to be the \u201cpresident for all Americans,\u201d then he must vocally address all significant posed threats to Americans from ISIS to white supremacists. After all, it wasn\u2019t ISIS who executed nine African Americans in a Charleston, S.C. church in 2015, but rather white supremacist terrorist Dylann Roof. And the longer Trump waits to address the threat of white supremacist terror, the more likely we will turn on the TV and see that white supremacists have killed even more innocent Americans.\ntype=type=RelatedArticlesblockTitle=Related on WorldPost\u2026 + articlesList=5891f68ae4b0c90eff01328c,5891037fe4b0c90eff00cee4,582df18ae4b058ce7aa9b17f",

        "title": "Campaign to Save Our Hospitals v. Giuliani | Center for Constitutional Rights",
        "raw_content": "Campaign to Save Our Hospitals v. Giuliani Historic Case\nCampaign to Save Our Hospitals v. Giuliani is a lawsuit brought by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on behalf of the prominent public interest organization Campaign to Save Our Hospitals. It charged New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani with violating the New York State Constitution by selling off public hospitals to for-profit companies. The New York State Constitution clearly requires that the state and its subdivisions provide dignified and comprehensive physical and mental health care to all New York residents, regardless of their ability to pay.\nSince its creation in 1969, New York City\u2019s Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) has operated the public hospital system to provide care of hundreds of thousands of poor and uninsured New Yorkers who cannot afford the care of private hospitals. HHC has played a disproportionately large role in caring for those who suffer from special access problems due to conditions such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and psychiatric disorders. Unlike private hospitals, by law, public hospitals may not turn away patients because of their inability to pay.\nIn 1993, facing a budget deficit and committed generally to the privatization of certain assets of the City as a fiscal solution, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani commenced his plan to dismantle the HHC system though the sale or long-term lease of public hospitals. In 1994, the City, through the Mayor\u2019s Office, began to explore the possibility of privatizing three hospitals: Coney Island Hospital, Elmhurst Hospital Center, and Queens Hospital Center. This plan would have had a profound impact on the residents of Queens, since Queens Hospital Center and Elmhurst Hospital Center were the only public acute care facilities in the borough. Similarly, Coney Island Hospital was the largest such facility in South Brooklyn, serving a population of 75,000 people.\nUnder the Mayor\u2019s hospital privatization plan, HHC would no longer serve as the primary mechanism by which the City provided health care services to its poorest residents. Instead, private companies would operate and manage the hospitals for their own profit and for that of their shareholders. For many of the City\u2019s poorest residents, the care they received at public hospitals run by HHC was critical and life-sustaining. These residents were the most vulnerable to illness, possessed the fewest resources, and were most in need of the medical protection offered by the public hospital system. It was these residents who would be most affected by the changes contemplated under the hospital privatization plan.\nIn January 1997, a New York State Supreme Court judge ruled that the Giuliani administration\u2019s plan was ultra vires (beyond its authority), and that since the public hospital system had been created by the state, state legislation was needed to dismantle it. The court further ruled that City Council approval was needed prior to selling off City property.\nAfter the initial ruling, the Giuliani administration declared that it was going ahead with its plans regardless, announcing in May 1997 the signing of a 99-year lease of Coney Island Hospital to a private for-profit group. However, under the terms of the proposed transaction, the lease could not become operational until all legal challenges were resolved.\nThe State Supreme Court ruling was upheld by the Appellate Division on June 9, 1997. However, the City did not give up. The City\u2019s petition for review by the Court of Appeals was accepted on June 5, 1998. Oral arguments on the case were heard by the Court of Appeals on February 16, 1999. On the day of the argument, members of the Queens and Coney Island coalitions, Hospital Workers Local 420, and the Committee of Interns and Residents filled the entire courthouse. The judges seemed receptive to CCR\u2019s argument, but no one could predict the outcome.\nOn March 30, 1999, the Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the Mayor\u2019s privatization plan was not authorized by the governing statute. The Court expressly noted the conflict flagged by CCR between the statutory mission of the Health and Hospitals Corporation and the profit-maximizing goals of a private, for-profit corporation, and held that HHC\u2019s critical public mission of providing comprehensive, quality health care services to the poor and uninsured residents of the City must be fulfilled.",

        "title": "A Voice For Advancing Girls\u2019 and Women\u2019s Sports - CEHD",
        "raw_content": "Dorothy E. McIntyre\nby Dorothy E. McIntyre\nI have played a variety of roles in my decades-long pursuit of advancing girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports. My motto of Why not me? has led to so many successes for our female athletes. So you can understand why I found it so interesting that earlier this week after Jude Schimmel led the University of Louisville team to their win in the NCAA tournament, she commented, \u201cI knew I had to be a leader. At that point, we needed somebody to step up and I said, \u2018why not me?\u2019\u201d\nMy favorite role along the way, though, was that of Tarzan. Growing up on a farm in the 1940s and 50s, Tarzan was a strong role model in the movies. The neighborhood kids and I would go into the woods behind the farm where we would act out the roles and I was always Tarzan. I liked yelling the loud cry that would rally all the elephants and jungle animals to rescue someone in distress. As kids, we didn\u2019t care who was male or female because we didn\u2019t have gender rules. That\u2019s why Tarzan was one of my first heroes and one that I tried to emulate. I\u2019ve often thought that held me in pretty good stead because I like to be a voice for a good cause.\nBecoming An Advocate for Change\nAfter graduating with my 13 classmates from Hawkeye High School, I went on to become the first person in my family to go to college and it was at Luther College where I decided I wanted to be a teacher. I loved teaching for 13 years and through it I found the opportunity to help take down barriers for young women who wanted to play sports, learn and develop their skills. This was during the 1960s, an era where few supported the girl who wanted to play. For three decades prior, girls\u2019 programs had been completely cut due to an organization\u2019s success in convincing the schools that sports were hazardous for girls\u2019 health. Sports should be for fun and without stress. Many voices began to advocate for change and I was one of them because I first wanted to create opportunities for my young women. My colleagues and I began to develop girls\u2019 sports clinics and programs that we could offer around the state of Minnesota. Soon, people were asking me to be a part of committees and national organizations with a similar focus. Why not me? I thought. So I did.\nI took on everything I could find in terms of leadership roles. I even took it upon myself to get my bus driver\u2019s license. The boys\u2019 sport teams could travel far and wide. At that time the girls\u2019 sports were just recreation teams and we were only allotted one trip a year. When I asked my principal why the boys had buses provided, I was told it was because the coaches drive the bus and it didn\u2019t cost the school anything. With my farm background, I could drive just about everything with four wheels, so I found the head bus driver and he guided me as I practiced driving. Six days later I passed my test and came back to the principal with license in hand. From then on, I took my young women all over the state for gymnastics, volleyball, track and whatever else they wanted to play. Being in the driver\u2019s seat of change is one of my roles, too. You have to be willing to put your hands on the wheel and, if necessary, take yourself where you want to go.\nEstablishing Seasons and State Tournaments\nMinnesota was a national leader in bringing girls\u2019 sports back into our schools. Our success stemmed from developing circles of like-minded people, from friends and teachers to administrators and parents. We each found our own talents and put them together and made changes that some critics said would be impossible to make. As we made progress on many fronts, I was asked by the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) to be a member of the executive staff as an associate director. Even though I had no idea what was ahead, I thought why not me? So, in 1970, I became the first woman to be employed on the executive staff by the MSHSL. Within two years, we held the first girls state tournament in track and field and added six more by 1978 for a variety of team and individual sports.\nShortly after I joined the MSHSL, Title IX passed in 1972. Up until then, we had already been creating the first girls\u2019 sports programs in the 60s and early 70s. It\u2019s important to note that Title IX was not the cause of girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports in many states and certainly not in Minnesota. But it was a strong encouragement. It was a federal law that backed up what we were trying to do. Title IX was timely, and it was like having a very strong friend walking along with us. It confirmed that this was a national commitment and that we weren\u2019t going away. Together we wanted to make it happen as easily and cooperatively as possible.\nEven so, roadblocks to advancing girls\u2019 sports were in the way. One was the positioning of the sports seasons. Prior to the implementation of girls\u2019 programs, the budget and use of facilities were tied up with boy\u2019s programs. As girls\u2019 basketball programs were developed, however, some of the schools were scheduling their local girls\u2019 basketball seasons in the fall. This seemed logical because the boys would be playing football at that time and the gyms would be open. But when we studied the future statewide sports programs, we saw that volleyball also needed to have a good season in the gym. I would go into the schools where girls were playing fall basketball and propose switching girls\u2019 basketball to winter. This notion wasn\u2019t a popular one, to say the least. Ultimately, it was up to the MSHSL board of directors to determine the season for girls\u2019 basketball and the decision was made unanimously that it would be winter. By the next year, in 1976, we held our first MSHSL State Girl Basketball Tournament at the Met Center in Bloomington. Next season will mark the tournament\u2019s 40th anniversary.\nDaughters of the Game\nThis is such a fascinating story surrounding the advancement of girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports, and especially the role of basketball in the family of girls\u2019 sports, that I have been involved in writing two books about it.\nMarian Bemis Johnson and I co-wrote Daughters of the Game: The First Era of Minnesota Girls High School Basketball, 1891-1942. It was inspired by the \u2018black hole\u2019 era of the 1940s-1970s, when there were little or no interscholastic sports programs for girls. Marian had come across pictures of her mother playing basketball in the 1920s and it made her wonder why she couldn\u2019t do the same thing in the 50s. She discovered that a national organization convinced schools across the country to drop all girls\u2019 sports programs due to health concerns for girls from strenuous activities. This is the history that Marian began to uncover and we compiled it in this book. We also wrote a historical fiction book called Two Rings: A Legacy of Hope. It tells the story of the struggles of girls and women through the eyes of a high school girl doing research for a school paper and finding that she and other women must stand up to right wrongs and ask, \u201cwhy not me?\u201d\nIn order to make Daughters of the Game exactly the way we wanted it, we formed our own publishing company, McJohn Publishing, and set up our website at www.daughtersofthegame.com. We did this so we would be able to publish a book with all the history and all the pictures because it was our own company. Doing something like that forces you out of your comfort zone and requires you to learn and explore new fields and rules. My circle of friends was again key to our success. In 2002, I retired after 55 years in education and then co-wrote two books and became president of our own publishing company \u2013 hardly what one would call retirement. But the history had to be preserved, so why not me?\nWe know that tremendous, wonderful, strong women throughout history have worked to accomplish and demand changes. As pioneers and advocates, they have changed the face of the world. Our responsibility is to ensure that their stories are told, in oral history and in print.\nLearn from your foremothers. Three of my personal heroes are Sacagawea, Amelia Earhart and Ann Bancroft. Find women whose lives interest you and discover what made them courageous and committed to a cause. And ask yourself, why not me?\nFeatured Image: From 1970s Rosemount State Softball Championship, reflecting the reason girls must be able to play\n[sc:dorothy-mcintyre]\nMinnesota Honor Roll Teacher of the Year\nNational Federation of State High School Association\u2019s Award of Merit\nAnn Bancroft Award\n4 thoughts on \u201cA Voice for Advancing Girls\u2019 and Women\u2019s Sports: Why Not Me?\u201d\nemdadul haque says:\nFri Mar 27, 2015 at 10:47 AM\nAfter completing my education I wanted to be a teacher.

        "raw_content": "After the success of the Allied landings and campaign on Sicily, the Allies kept up the pressure against the Germans and Italians by effecting a landing on the mainland of Italy on 3rd September 1943. The Allies expected a collapse of forces but instead they were faced by a long hard fight as they advanced up the length of Italy.\nMussolini was deposed and replaced by Marshal Badoglio, but not all Italian forces surrendered. Four months later, after enduring winter conditions, the Allies launched 'Operation Shingle', an amphibious landing at Anzio, in an attempt to outflank the Germans and force an entry into Rome.\nThe plan was conceived by Winston Churchill and on 22nd January 1944 the Anzio landings started with 40,000 men being put ashore. In command was Major General John Lucas of the US Army, but he did not move off the beaches, the Germans consolidated and hemmed the Allies in and it would take them four months to break out. Churchill said: 'I had hoped we were hurling a wildcat onto the shore, but all we got was a stranded whale'.\nItaly was already a tough campaign but there were tougher moments such as the fighting around Monte Cassino which delayed the allied advance for many more weeks. Even after these obstacles had been overcome the Allies faced the formidable Gothic Line of defences and the Italian campaign dragged on until 29th April 1945 when the Germans finally surrendered. It had proved to be a 'Tough old Gut'.",

        "title": "Good business practice or moral theft? \u2013 Boadicea's Chariot",
        "raw_content": "Good business practice or moral theft?\nThe gap between \u201cacceptable\u201d business practices and downright dishonesty seems to me to grow ever narrower as time marches on, especially when dealing with large corporations.\nFor instance, as our garage stands some distance away from the house, when we took the decision to fit an electrically operated garage door, we were informed by our energy supplier that it would require a separate meter which was installed a couple of years ago. Since then the cost of opening the garage door two or three times a month has cost the grand sum of just under one hundred pounds and ten pounds a year, virtually all of which is accrued in standing charges while the power actually consumed is little more than a few pence each month. Browsing the net the other day, I came across a power supplier who was offering an electricity account with no standing charges which sounded interesting . The rate for the electricity was considerably higher, but it was patently obvious that we were going to make some reasonable cost reductions. Being the gullible idiot that I am and still mistakenly thinking that loyalty counts for something, I contacted our current supplier who happen to be one of the largest gas and electricity companies in the UK and asked whether they offered a similar type of account. I was told that they did not. Fair enough, back to the potential new supplier who informed me that based on our bills over the last two years they would offer an annual fixed price contract for the princely sum of 99 pence a month and asked if I would be interested in changing to them? Too right I would, if it\u2019s going to come in nearly a hundred quid cheaper. They assured me that they would handle all the paperwork and I would hear from them in the future with a commencement date.\nA few days later I received a phone call from our original supplier asking the reason why we were transferring to another company. When I explained, they then said that they offered a similar type of contract at a better rate than the new one from the other company, despite the fact they had previously denied that they offered this type of deal at all. They were somewhat surprised when I told them that in the light of the way they had behaved, they could take their offer and stuff it where the sun don\u2019t shine (or words to that effect)\nWhich brings me to the point of this post and my mother. Ninety eight years old, deaf as a post and therefore doesn\u2019t like to use the phone. If you handed her a computer she wouldn\u2019t know how to turn it on, never mind being able to find or access comparison websites. A good customer though, one who pays her bills by direct debit, which also means she never receives a paper bill. This neatly avoids the problem where the rules says that your supplier must inform you if they can offer a cheaper tariff than the one you are currently on. I changed from her original supplier some years ago saving her some 25% of her annual cost which is a tidy sum as her gas heating is on twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year. Had I not been around, she would still be none the wiser, still on her original tariff and several hundreds of pounds worse off.\nIt\u2019s perfectly obvious that this type of attitude cannot fail to penalise the frail and elderly and perhaps those who maybe don\u2019t have the technical savvy or equipment to do anything about it. When did this method of generating increased profits by the targeting of the disadvantaged become in any way morally acceptable, legal or even considered by some to be good business practice?\nAuthor jhleckPosted on June 27, 2018 June 27, 2018 Categories General\n11 thoughts on \u201cGood business practice or moral theft?\u201d\nQuite a story, jh! It feels as if the robotic bureaucracies ignore the need for standards of behaviour. \u2018The system\u2019 is blamed for every error and it is rare to unearth a human being to talk to.\nThe irony is that all these new methods of doing business are promoted by government (following lobbying of interest groups such as business and the legal profession) in order to make things easier, cheaper and more efficient. But the completely opposite result is achieved.\nI have just spent a considerable amount of time assisting two people apply for visas, a mother, who with her daughter are travelling to Australia and another friend travelling to the UK. They are white Zimbabweans and therefore have almost zero rights as far as the international community is concerned. Applications can only be made on line and in each case they are so lengthy and convoluted, requiring numerous supporting documents, that one gives up the will to live, let alone actually visit those countries. And when it comes to trying to pay, that is a mission even Ethan Hunt would be unwilling to accept.\nThe more complicated the system, the more people to employ and therefore the more they charge. Do these methods stop criminals and illegal immigrants entering countries? No. Do they prevent honest law abiding citizens from doing so? Yes. Who benefits? Politicians, civil servants and consultants/lawyers. Who suffers? Everybody else.\nIncreasingly governments around the world are taking ownership of moral responsibility and regulating behaviour through draconian laws rather an individual\u2019s conscience. The net result is that people are becoming increasingly dishonest. Like Phil Mickelson, they play to the letter of the law rather than the spirit. And if the law is not going to catch/punish them, as if often the case, then they are able to continue their dishonest ways with impunity.\nPeople no longer ask whether or not an action is moral. They ask if it is legal. If it is not they ask what are the chances of getting caught and penalised.\nThe thing about a conscience is that it will always catch you out, the law seldom does so.\nSipu: One of my mates wants to visit me in the UK and go to Scandinavia. His problem? He holds a mainland Chinese passport. He has to fill in a disgusting amount of paperwork for his visas. As he\u2019s trying to get permanent residence in the USA, that is already sucking the life blood out of him so he\u2019s putting off any visits.\nChristopher, what always amazes me is the number of indigenous Zimbabweans I see at border posts, airports and elsewhere who hold British passports. Most white Zimbabweans have no chance of getting one, but for blacks, it seems to be a doddle. But it is not just the UK. I am for ever coming across black compatriots who say that they are going to live in Canada, the US, UK, somewhere in Europe and increasingly Australia. I really do not know how they manage to do it. Many whites won\u2019t visit the UK because it so much hassle. The Schengen visa is much easier to get hold of, so they stick to mainland Europe.\nHello, christophervondorset! Glad you now identify with the green and pleasant.\nSipu: As usual, British bureaucracy isn\u2019t fit for purpose. As much as I detest Terra Nullius Inwognita, otherwise known as Dodgydagoland, otherwise known as the rubbish bin north and east of Portugal, otherwise known as Spain, I was able to sort out my paperwork within days there. It took months and months in the UK. Interesting that you mention your compatriots. I spoke with a man today who recently moved from South Africa to Dorset, a British South African. He said that it is proving to be a great deal more work than he planned to get everything settled.\nThe paradox is that the Chinese require European tourists to obtain a visa, but they make it a very straightforward, simple affair and have even authorised a number of agencies to act as proxies. All I need to do to get a ten year Chinese visa is to pay a single fee, fill in a couple of forms and send a cheque to a visa service centre. It takes no more than 15 minutes and \u00a3100.\nJanus: For the first time in many years, I can say that moving isn\u2019t really worth the effort as life wouldn\u2019t be appreciably better elsewhere. I have a secure position, a comfortable quality of life and a good social network. I\u2019ve also been fully accepted into Dorset.\nYou can be really annoying, you always manage to say something better in twenty words than I did in three hundred\nRe the electricity meter. I would have run an underground cable, no extra charge at all!\nAfter all, an up and over door does not take much power.\nMost farms I know in Wales have their local electrician fix such for hard cash and a quiet mouth. The only way to survive these days.\nIt does occur to me that the UK is far more rip off than here. A few weeks ago our gas meter went up the creek. Polite knock on the door, and they have to replace it. I had thought that the gas bills were getting rather cheap of late but never twigged it had stopped completely. I asked what about the current bill. Reply, no bill, our bad luck! I can imagine in the UK that happening. He even came in and relit our pilot lights subsequently.\nCDorset, that sums up Britain pretty well. It ain\u2019t perfect living here but it could be so much worse.\nWhen my mother retired at 72 she decided to learn about computers \u2013 and acquired a machine \u2013 and an e-mail address with BT. She really never got the hang of it, and basically \u2013 just gave up after about five years\u2026\n\u2026 however, she did have an e-mail address\u2026\nWhen she was 90+ some whizz kid got on the phone and sold her a TV bundle \u2013 it was very reasonably priced and did seem to give her access to programs that she would enjoy. I was in the UK at the time, and noticed that BT had her e-mail address on the documentation. I phoned immediately and told them that under no circumstances should they use e-mail to contact her \u2013 since she didn\u2019t even have a computer. Yeah, yeah\u2026\nSome time later, she noticed that her subscription charges had virtually doubled\u2026 and phoned to find out what had happened. Yes, said BT, we sent you an e-mail telling you that we would be putting you on a different (and more expensive) bundle and that if you didn\u2019t reply we would assume that you agreed\u2026\n\u2026 and nothing she said \u2013 or I said on my next visit made the slightest difference\u2026 the fact that she had not replied to an e-mail that she hadn\u2019t got and couldn\u2019t get and that they had been told not to contact her via e-mail made the slightest bit of difference\u2026\nSilence was assumed to be consent.\n\u201cGood Business Practice\u201d be damned \u2013 that was downright dishonest moral theft.\nFrom what I can gather there seem to be no consequences in the UK for sharp practice. Apparently the govt. does absolutely nothing about these malefactions. It seems to be strictly caveat emptor. Here there are very tight rules restricting everything about companies operating these \u2018bundles\u2019, when, where, how much etc. The resulting court cases are ruinous for the companies.\nInterestingly it is the total reverse when it comes to planning for development. Here you seem to be able to build anything anywhere, however dangerous or stupid whereas in the UK everything is nigh on impossible anywhere!\nLikewise financial felonry will get you a jail sentence every time here but rare in the UK.\nPrevious Previous post: Not just strawberries\nNext Next post: So while your mind is on footie\u2026\u2026",

The public is invited to make a wish at the fountain located at the Shops at North Bridge or online. Wishes have a chance at being selected and granted as part of the bicentennial celebration.\nThe world is filled with spectacular fountains that boast a variety of characteristics to accompany these beautiful monuments\u2014some simple, some complicated. These ageless shrines are testaments to mankind\u2019s belief that wishes can come true with every coin toss.\nBMO Harris Bank recently unveiled the BMO200 Fountain on April 13 in commemoration of the Bank reaching its bicentennial milestone to nearly a hundred guests.\nLocated outside The Shops at North Bridge, 520 N. Michigan Avenue on the level 1 nearest the Nordstrom mall entrance, the fountain is a beautiful 17-feet high figurative masterpiece of art.\nAlthough this fountain will not run water, it will do something few fountains can claim and that is grant wishes.\nTo mark BMO\u2019s 200th year, and to help communities throughout Chicago, BMO Harris Bank announced that it is donating $11,200,000 to programs in the Chicago area in 2017. In that spirit everyone in the community is invited to make their own wishes, in person or online, through the BMO200 fountain.\nMore than 500 local organizations will receive, or have already received, donations from BMO Harris Bank in 2017.\nMASCOTS FOR THE Bulls and the Blackhawks helped launch the BMO bicentennial and the unveiling of the fountain. Pictured (left) Tommy Hawk, Denis Savard, Hubert The Lion, Justine Fedak, Chuck Swirsky, Benny The Bull and President and CEO BMO Harris Bank, Dave Casper.\n\u201cFor 200 years, we have been financing economic expansion and helping our customers achieve their ambitions along the way,\u201d said David Casper, President and CEO, BMO Harris Bank. \u201cA major component of our success has been our steadfast commitment to the communities we serve. From helping the city rebuild after the Chicago Fire with a $5,000 donation in 1871, to being the founding contributor to the Chicago Community Trust in 1915, our ties to the city run deep.\u201d\nThe bicentennial fountain is a modern twist on an old idea that pays homage to the centuries-old tradition of making a wish by tossing a coin into a fountain. That nod to the past is combined with a distinctive look to the future. The fountain has no water, but instead uses thousands of flip dots \u2013 the traditional technology used in destination boards at train stations \u2013 to create a unique ripple effect every time a wish is made.\nThose who are unable to visit in person can still make a wish by visiting www.bmo200.com. BMO will be fulfilling a number of the wishes, both big and small, across a number of categories, including Green, Togetherness, Legacy and Community.\nBMO invites people to make wishes at the BMO200 fountain. BMO will be fulfilling wishes made at the fountain over the course of the year in an effort to continue the bank\u2019s legacy of giving back to the communities in which it does business.\n\u201cI encourage everyone to visit our fountain, either in person or online, and make a wish,\u201d added Casper. \u201cWe look forward to bringing some of those wishes to life.\u201d\nBMO200 fountain\nPrevious articleGrand Rapids police caused great harm by holding five innocent black boys at gunpoint\nNext articleForget Facebook.

        "title": "Interview: Peter Sagal (Again) - The Chicagoist",
        "raw_content": "So, Constant Reader, the question you're asking yourself is: \"Didn't Chicagoist already interview Peter back in March December of 2005?\" Indeed we did. (Damn our inability to read correct dates!) And there we learned a lot about the inner workings of one of our favorite NPR offerings. So when a little bird told us that \"Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me\" was going to be taping a show at Millennium Park, we figured, what the hell? Let\u2019s say hi to the guy again.\nIn the past two years, WWDTM has dramatically increased its visibility on NPR. The show is booking huge guests (and got some national press when Tom Hanks joined the program in advance of The Da Vinci Code) and is now taped live every week. Sagal himself has upped his profile with a new book about Vice, and lo and behold \u2014 as we're typing up this entry he pops up on the \"Today Show.\" Incidentally, in a completely unscientific poll of two Chicagoistas, with two interviews and a few tapings under our belt, we've decided that we are the Semi-Official Blog of \"Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.\" (The plaque is being inscribed later this week.)\nPlenty from Peter about skepticism, 9/11, and the death of the Chicago Mai-Tai after the jump.\nChicagoist: Rather than ask you a bunch of questions about the nuts and bolts of \u201cWait Wait\u201d \u2014 we kinda covered that the last time we spoke \u2014 I thought I\u2019d start by asking you how you ended up on Penn Jillette\u2019s old radio show?\nPeter Sagal: Oh, wow! That was very cool \u2013 in fact, I just listened to that. I was in Las Vegas, and I was invited to speak at something called \u201cThe Amazing Meeting.\u201d This is, of course, James Randi, The Amazing Randi, devoted to skeptics and the topic was \u201cSkeptics in the Media,\u201d and it turns out that I have fans among the leadership there \u2013 a wonderful guy, whose name is escaping me right now* \u2013 but he\u2019s been a fan of the show, he invited me to visit, and then they finally got me an invitation for me to actually be a speaker. And I was flatterered! Anyway, I went. It\u2019s hard to find a collection of cooler people.\n*Update - Peter emailed us with this information: \"That would be Hal Bidlack, Jr. PhD, a former Air Force officer and instructor at the Air Force Academy, a scholar and a gentleman, and one of the nation's foremost experts on Alexander Hamilton. He often performs an impressive one-man show about Hamilton, of which more info is available here.\"\nOther speakers included Christopher Hitchens, Penn and Teller, who are kind of the unofficial sponsors, the guys from South Park were there, the Mythbusters were there \u2013 I mean, my god, can you imagine a cooler group of people to hang out with? Plus, the head of Scientific American was there, some really cool guys from MIT Media Lab, it was great. I love Vegas, but I\u2019ve never been there and had no time to gamble, which is one of the funner things to do.\nMac King was there, who\u2019s a friend of mine, the magician. Life was good. So to answer your question, Penn was \u2013 as you know \u2013 used to be doing this radio show, and his great problem in doing this radio show problem was finding the time to do it, amidst everything else he would always be doing. So what he did was they took over James Randi\u2019s hotel room, and he and his co-host just shuttled all the guests from the convention up to the hotel room one after the other, and tape the show, so I got my turn.\nC: Well, it strikes me as a little odd having you associated with a bunch of atheists and skeptics. Did they invite you because you share their beliefs, or just because they happened to like you?\nPS: I think it\u2019s mostly the latter. There\u2019s a strong overlap between our demographic of the show, and their demographic. So everyone there was delighted to meet me, which was very flattering. But the topic was \u201cskepticism in the media,\u201d and I think I was invited in part because I make my living making fun, in part, of the media. So they thought it\u2019d be nice if I did that for them. So I did.\nI have to say, it was fairly well received. I took the assignment quite seriously \u2013 I wrote a little speech, and it was nice.\nC: Over to the \u201cWait Wait\u201d side \u2013 you guys have been getting some very A-list guests lately.\nPS: Isn\u2019t it great? It\u2019s really been fabulous.\nC: Well, that\u2019s because all celebrities are a bunch of commie pinko liberal leftist NPR listeners, correct?\nPS: You know, we all get our orders from the Comintern. What was it called, from the old Communist regime, der Komissar? Where the American communists used to get their orders from back in the old days?\nC: I\u2019ll look it up.\nPS: Three things: First of all, the efforts of our producer Mike Danforth, who\u2019s been with the show for six years now, and this is his gig: getting these guests. And he just works it; he\u2019s become quite a genius at weaseling and manipulating publicists and cultivating contacts and getting to the right person and saying the right thing to that person. His efforts have been astonishing, and have really paid off.\nSecondly, I think it\u2019s a credit to the success of the show. I mean, more people listen to it, we have something like 2.5 million listeners now, and more than 430 public radio stations. So we\u2019re actually well known, we\u2019ve now gotten to the point where when Mike calls a publicist and says \u201cHey, would X want to be on \u2018Wait Wait Don\u2019t Tell Me?\u201d they\u2019ll at least have heard of the show, and in a couple of cases, like Tom Hanks and Brian Williams, they were self-professed fans of the show! Which was really gratifying.\nC: Was it a couple weeks ago that Brian Williams called in just for a quick segment \u2013 not even a \u201cNot My Job\u201d portion of the show?\nPS: Yeah, that was great! That was terrific. We were calling around \u2013 we had this idea that it\u2019d be funny to interview a serious journalist on the topic of whether or not President Bush\u2019s watch had been stolen. And we called Brian\u2019s office and they\u2019re like \u201cOh, he\u2019d love to do it!\u201d So the fact that these people are willing to abase themselves by coming on our show and being silly speaks a lot to their self confidence.\nThe third reason was that there\u2019s this wonderfully self-perpetuating cycle that really works on the minds of publicists. The publicist\u2019s nightmare, understandably enough, is to set up a prestigious client with some gig, and the prestigious client comes back and says \u201cWhat the hell was that? I was on some dinky little radio show that nobody cares about, and you made me look bad!\u201d\nSo by virtue of our past success, if we\u2019re able to say to somebody that \u201cOh, Tom Hanks was on the show,\u201d or Ted Koppel was on the show, or Barack Obama was on the show, then the publicists are like \u201cOh! Well, in that case\u2026\u201d We have a track record. So if the client gets mad at them they can say \u201cWhat can I tell you? Barack Obama did it.\u201d\nC: I think one thing about the show that most people don\u2019t realize is that for an hour of show, you really do about an hour an a half of program. And some of it ends up on the cutting room floor.\nPS: Yeah, depending on how stupid we\u2019re feeling. It may take a while to get around to the good stuff.\nC: What\u2019s the process that goes into editing a program for broadcast on a Saturday morning? I\u2019m assuming there\u2019s some pretty good stuff that ends up getting left behind, just for purposes of fitting a time clock.\nPS: It is. I can only speak secondhand, because I\u2019m not allowed to participate in the editing process for fear that I would sit there and say \u201cOh no, you need more of me.\u201d [laughs] The show is edited by Rod Abid, our senior producer, and Mike Danforth, producer aforementioned. Pretty soon, once we train her up to the job it\u2019ll be edited as well by Melody Kramer, who just joined our staff.\nAnd basically, there are two overriding things: there\u2019s time and there\u2019s content. Time, obviously not only the\u2026whatever it is, 54 minutes that the entire broadcast is, including things like credits and stuff like that take a few minutes off. But we have to hit our time posts \u2013 we have to do three segments to the show, and you\u2019d be surprised at how complicated it gets, when you say \u201cWell, you need to get to this minute, you need to finish talking about this subject by this point.\u201d So a lot of times what our editors are doing is just massaging the material to fit into those relatively generous time constricts.\nThe other thing, of course, is content. If you\u2019ve ever seen our show, you know that there\u2019s some things that work, and there\u2019s some things that don\u2019t work. And we\u2019d rather take the risk of something not working, than restrict ourselves to the sure-fire stuff. A lot of times we\u2019ll launch a topic and have no idea of where it\u2019s going to go. Sometimes, it doesn\u2019t go anywhere. Sometimes it goes somewhere, and then we\u2019ll include it in the show.\nThe last issue is \u2013 I seem to be speaking in threes today, as a college professor once said to me that\u2019s because we\u2019re Indo-European \u2013 the last issue is appropriateness! We have to keep reminding ourselves that our show is broadcast at the time in most of the country when people are eating their breakfast. That, however, is one of the great reasons why people should come down and see the show live \u2013 because we say things we could never say on the radio.\nC: And presumably, that inappropriateness going to be something that comes into play when the show moves to Millennium Park for an evening.\nPS: Exactly! Yes, exactly. I don\u2019t know whether the chance of four to six thousand people will make us less likely to say inappropriate or rude things, or in a perverse way, more likely \u2013 but I\u2019m willing to find out.\nC: How do you get ready for a show in front of a few thousand more people than you\u2019re used to? Are you preparing for the Millennium Park program any differently than you would for a regular show at Chase?\nPS: You know what the funny thing is? I don\u2019t think we\u2019re gonna do anything different. It\u2019s going to be our regular show \u2013 we\u2019re hoping for a really significant guest that we can\u2019t announce yet, but I mean, that\u2019ll be something. And of course it\u2019ll be a little bit different to play to x-thousands of people rather than a mere \u2013 well, mere, I should remain grateful to them, the five hundred people that show up at Chase.\nThe hardest thing about it, weirdly enough, is actually going to be to work hard to ignore the fact that there are eight thousand people \u2013 we\u2019re all taking bets on how many people will show up \u2013 is to ignore the fact that all those thousands of people are in front of me. Because there will be 2.5 million people listening at home on the radio. And it\u2019s important, particularly when taping a loud and raucous crowd like we did last week in Portland, Oregon, to remember that they are but a fraction of the people who are actually listening.\nAnd it\u2019s easy to ignore that much larger audience in favor of the much more visible one in front of you. And that happens in both subtle ways, subtle when I start shouting, where I start responding to things that I see; not so subtle when I start making faces and doing visual humor. You have to avoid both of those.\nBut other than that, are we looking forward to it? We did this before in the summer of \u201904, when Millennium Park opened. And it was just crazy great, it was really fun. I got to make my \u201cwatch out for the brown acid\u201d jokes, which I\u2019ll probably return to, because I don\u2019t have many more jokes to try on huge crowds. Yeah, it should be fun.\nC: The last time Chicagoist spoke with you, you did a rundown of the places you hang out after the program is taped. Since then, we\u2019ve seen the demise of Trader Vic\u2019s--\nPS: Which is a tragedy! Because Thursday nights, the night we do our show, had been Mai-tai special night. Which brought us a tremendous amount of joy. We have tried many, many bars and restaurants around the central downtown area. For a long time, our sort of default bar has been the Elephant and Castle down on Adams St. That\u2019s just the place to go when we don\u2019t know where to go, and they\u2019re always glad to see us there, they treat us well, and they make excellent fish and chips.\nAnd they also do leave the basketball games on, which is very important to members of our staff. I just told this to a paper \u2013 basically I\u2019m in this for the cast party.\nC: You had mentioned Stocks and Blondes as well.\nPS: Well, we tried that a couple times. That did not find favor entirely with some of the panelists with more delicate sensibilities. Particularly those who wanted, probably, a more fine dining experience. We haven\u2019t been back to Stocks and Blondes for a while. I loved it. I\u2019m from New Jersey, so there\u2019s part of me that will always love a rundown bar.\nC: There\u2019s a piece from the NPR website about a list of your top five moments of \u201cWait Wait\u201d \u2013 one of them is the program directly after 9/11. Can you recall what was the first joke you told on that first program back after the tragedy?\nPS: I can remember the first thing that made us all really laugh. I don\u2019t remember a joke per se. I remember the first story we did \u2013 I happened to listen to it recently. The first story we did was about how Regis Philbin was offering to send Kathie Lee Gifford to Afghanistan to take on the terrorists. Which we thought was mildly amusing.\nBut then, I forget how it came up, but there was a guy, a mobster in jail, who used a pay phone in jail to call the city to offer them the use of his personal trash compactor, which he happened to own. You know, to help with the cleanup. And I tell you this now, and it\u2019s kind of amusing, maybe ironic. At the time it seemed hilariously funny! And we were laughing, and laughing, and laughing\u2026\nAnd I\u2019ve got to tell you, if you go back and listen to that show \u2013 in which, by the way, P.J. O\u2019Rourke makes his \u201cWait Wait\u201d debut as a \u201cNot My Job\u201d guest \u2013 it ain\u2019t that funny, objectively speaking. Certainly not anywhere near our best show. But there was something so relieving in even attempting it, that there was a tremendous amount of relief. Which is the classic cathartic experience of humor. And people, as I think I say in that little article, wrote into us and said \u201cIt is such a pleasure to be given permission to laugh again.\u201d\nAnd that\u2019s what it was. Stuff that wasn\u2019t that objectively funny was really funny just by virtue of the fact that we were inviting people to laugh at it.\nC: You guys usually tape on a Thursday \u2013 was that just two days after everything happened, or was it a little later?\nPS: No. You remember that 9/11 was a Tuesday. All the entertainment shows of NPR were all cancelled that weekend in favor of round-the-clock news coverage \u2013 which, when you think about it now, was really kind of pointless, because nothing was happening. The buildings had fallen down, everyone was dead or not, and that was it.\nWe went on the air with our first show about ten days after the incident itself. But still, it seemed very raw. And it\u2019s funny now to look back upon that time \u2013 we honestly thought our show would be cancelled. Because who in the world would ever want to listen to a show like ours again?\nWe all were thinking about, y\u2019know, our producer had come from NPR News and he was thinking \u201cWell, I can always go back to NPR News,\u201d I was thinking about what the hell I would do, I have no skills in terms of journalism. It just seemed ridiculous that anyone would ever want to make fun of the news or make jokes at the news ever again.\nC: Off the top of your head, can you think of a few high points of the program since 2003?\nPS: Well, it\u2019s hard to say. The main things that have happened since I did that article in 2003\u2026 first of all, I don\u2019t know if this was included but that first Millennium Park show in the summer of 2004 \u2013 yeah, so it wouldn\u2019t have been [included] \u2013 was really amazing because our producer Rod got this idea, he\u2019s sort of an architecture buff. He was really excited by the idea of playing part in the opening of the ampitheater.\nI was very skeptical. We were going to be going on at 11 o\u2019clock in the morning, right before some clown show, some circus act. Who the hell is going to show up for us, at this massive outdoor ampitheater. And I remember getting there at like - I think it was 10:30 in the morning that we went on \u2013 and I remember showing up there at like 7 o\u2019clock to get ready, and there were already people there staking out seats. And I was like, \u201cThis could go well.\u201d\nBy the time we finished, we had thousands of people [there]. The number of people is somewhat in dispute \u2013 I say about four thousand; our senior producer, who was delighted with how it went, said more like seven \u2013 because you can\u2019t really tell from the stage. But the [seating] was filled and there was a number of people on the grass in back. That was amazing.\nBut the biggest thing I think that has happened to us is the fact that we now do the show live every week, as opposed to just special events, which we\u2019ve always done. Now we\u2019re live every week, and that is a new birth of hilarity. It was like the show was reborn, both in terms of its public profile, which we\u2019re getting a lot more press \u2013 and also in terms of our success. If you do a chart of our growth over the years, it\u2019s a relatively nicely steady upward line.\nBut then we started doing the show live, and all of a sudden it really took off. It just became, after that point, a show that if you\u2019re a public radio station you really have to broadcast it, because it\u2019s part of public radio. And it hadn\u2019t been up to that point. And a lot of things came with that.\nHaving Barack Obama show up on his birthday in the summer of \u201905 was really exciting. Having Tom Hanks do the show, this hugely successful international movie star was really exciting. Even Brian Williams, in his own way \u2013 the fact that all of a sudden we began to get notice and attention by significant media figures. John Stewart namechecked us, made a joke about us!\nAnd then it\u2019s like, \u201cwhoa!\u201d It had always been my dream, and I think this is shared by everybody who works on the show, that we wanted to be more than just another hour of public radio, stuck in between Car Talk and whatever the next thing was. That we really wanted to be part of the national conversation. Not in a serious way, but in the way like \u201cdid you hear what John Stewart said about that, did you hear what Jay Leno said about that.\u201d\nI\u2019m not sure that it\u2019s happening, but I know because they tell me that people will go through their week listening to the news, and then at the end of the week they\u2019ll say \u201cI wonder what Wait Wait Don\u2019t Tell Me will say about that.\u201d And that was really my greatest ambition, that we would become something that \u2013 a news story isn\u2019t quite finished until we get our shot at it.\nC: Well, it means you\u2019ve become part of the culture.\nPS: Yeah, and that\u2019s really exciting. That\u2019s great fun. And it\u2019s pretty fun to be a part of that with this group of people whom I\u2019m associated with. It\u2019s really cool.\nC: How many people come up to you and ask you to do the voice message on their answering machine?\nPS: A few; they\u2019re desperate and sad, because obviously they don\u2019t get it. [laughs] But I do get that on occasion. I don\u2019t do it, though, because of course there are rules about this. You know, only Carl, and it\u2019s only under certain circumstances.\nC: You wouldn\u2019t want to take away from anyone else\u2019s victories.\nPS: No, no \u2013 I wouldn\u2019t want to do that. If I start giving them away, all of a sudden the price of the commodity, of Carl\u2019s, goes down. We can\u2019t have that.\nWant to see \"Wait Wait\" live, in person, and for free?

        "raw_content": "My 4-year-old was scared by a Halloween store several weeks ago, and he\u2019s still afraid to be by himself. What can I do?\nA therapist can help him process what he saw and regain his independence\nMy 4-year-old and I went to a Halloween store 2 weeks ago. He got really scared from the d\u00e9cor. We left pretty quickly but since then he cannot be by himself even for a few seconds, he will sit next to us in order to stay with an adult and quit doing things he enjoys (Legos, cartoons, little cars...) I have not been able to shower or go to the bathroom by myself in 2 weeks! It's very disruptive. I don't know what to do. I have tried to be gentle, talk to him, being firm, explaining what he saw was not real, I understand he is traumatized but what can I do?\nI am sorry that your child was so upset! Costumes these days can be very scary to young children, and it isn\u2019t surprising that your four-year-old was bothered by them. But what is concerning is how much he was impacted, and how his reaction is spilling over into his normal functioning, even weeks later. The fact that your child is avoiding things he usually likes and is more clingy than usual is a concern. Your son is so preoccupied that he can\u2019t do his \u201cjob,\u201d which is to have fun, attend school, do activities, and be a kid.\nYou\u2019ve done the right thing in trying to explain what he saw and give him some reassurance. That\u2019s the first thing I\u2019d recommend. But because he has been having such a strong response for several weeks now, I think this goes beyond something you can handle on your own. I recommend talking to a psychologist or some other mental health professional. This is important for several reasons. First, just because we know why your child had this reaction \u2014 you can identify the Halloween store as the stressor \u2014 doesn\u2019t mean that his reaction can be explained away. Letting time pass and making an effort to avoid Halloween stores in the future won\u2019t solve this problem fully.\nThe other reason why it\u2019s important to get help is because the longer his negative reaction continues the more you are inadvertently reinforcing it. That\u2019s because he\u2019s forming a pattern of avoiding certain activities and over-relying on you for security, and the longer this pattern holds the harder it will be to stop. A good mental health professional can help him not only with the fears he had at the Halloween store but also work on these new developments like his difficulty separating from you.\nThe goal in treatment will be to get him back to his previous level of functioning. And it might even be very short-term treatment. From what you described it sounds like a very focused approach to therapy that directly addresses his anxiety and some of the ensuing symptoms would likely yield good results, particularly if he receives strong family support for these interventions. Good luck!",

        "title": "1 in 88 Kids Found to Be on Autism Spectrum | Child Mind Institute",
        "raw_content": "1 in 88 Kids Found to Be on Autism Spectrum\nStunning new figures released today by the Centers for Disease Control show the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders in a sample population of eight-year-old children in 2008 soaring 23% over the prevalence in the same sample in 2006, and a whopping 78% over the number found in 2002. In the new report, one in 88 children was estimated to meet the diagnostic criteria for an autism spectrum disorder in 2008, compared to one in 110 in 2006 and one in 155 in 2002.\nThe report was based on a survey of medical and other records of children in 14 sites across the United States, whether or not they had received a diagnosis of an ASD. The CDC stressed that the sample was not nationally representative. And it\u2019s not known, the CDC writes, whether these increases reflect increased awareness and better assessment or true increases in the prevalence of ASD symptoms. We asked two of the Child Mind Institute\u2019s psychiatrists to weigh in on what it means.\n\u201cIt would be a misinterpretation to say that this study shows the number of new cases of autism are on the rise,\u201d says Dr. Michael Milham. \u201cWhat it highlights is that we were obviously missing kids, and underestimating the magnitude of the problem. It shows the need for a continued focus on better monitoring. We need to be looking deeper for cases that are falling through the cracks.\u201d\nThere are many limits to this kind of surveillance study\u2014they\u2019re highly dependent on what doctors and other experts decide to include in their charts. But it shows, as does the preponderance of evidence over the last few years, that there are a lot more children than we thought there were somewhere on the spectrum, adds Dr. Ron Steingard.\nIt\u2019s no surprise that within the sample, two of the groups that showed the largest increase were black and Hispanic children. \u201cObviously no one was looking carefully enough at these populations,\u201d notes Dr. Steingard.\nAnother group that showed a particularly large increase was children who meet the criteria for an ASD without also exhibiting cognitive impairment. \u201cA generation ago the only kids who would be diagnosed with autism had what I call autism plus\u2014they also had significant cognitive impairment,\u201d says Dr. Steingard. \u201cOnce we understood that you could have the core symptoms of autism without mental retardation, it opened the door to a larger population who still had very important social and interpretive impairment.\u201d\nWhat worries Dr. Steingard is that the study might prompt a backlash\u2014that someone looking to cut funding will use it to make charges of overdiagnosis or misdiagnosis. That would leave people with autism and their families in the lurch. \u201cThese kids need intensive interventions to do well, and their families need relief and respite.\u201d\nBoth doctors note that we need to keep getting better at recognizing autism spectrum disorders, because the earlier the diagnosis and intervention, the better the prognosis.\nBig Numbers, Mental Health,\nThe Incredible Rise of Neuroimaging",

        "raw_content": "Well, November is literally just around the corner, and I\u2019m taking part in NaNoWriMo for the second time in my life. I had what I thought was a cool idea for a story, but after plotting for a month, I had several notebook pages full of plot but no real feeling for the story. It sucked. I could have worked with it, but it really didn\u2019t sing to me, and I knew that I\u2019d have hated it if I\u2019d written it.\nSo\u2013I changed my mind. More than half-way through September, with sign-ups beginning on October 1st, I decided to try to plot a totally new and different story. The catch, for me, was: if I couldn\u2019t make the plot work again, I\u2019d either be stuck with a story I hated or I\u2019d have no story at all. I really wanted to take part in the challenge, because I haven\u2019t really \u201ctested\u201d myself in a long time.\nWell, I don\u2019t have as many pages of plot notes for this one, but I feel a lot better about the story. To make things more interesting (for me), I\u2019m also signed up for a Quantum Bang in the coming year, so I was working on that story as well. I\u2019ll have to set it aside while I write in November, because I\u2019m totally not crazy enough to write two different stories at the same time, but I think I\u2019m up to the challenge. And my creative juices are really flowing\u2013not to sound gross or anything. I think this will be good for me. I\u2019m hoping to have the Quantum Bang story finished by the end of December, so there\u2019s another goal to reach.\nMy new mantra?\n\u201cDeadlines Are Fun!\u201d\n\u2014love, chimera01\nPosted in Random Thoughts\tThat Time of Year\n\u2039 PreviousKeeping my word\u2026\nNext \u203aWinding Down and Starting Anew\nOne thought on \u201cThat Time of Year\u201d\nNehasy says:\nI never bother with many notes, so long as I\u2019m inspired to write.

        "raw_content": "An interview with Kristen Pollizzi\nIn the May issue of the JCI , Pollizzi et al. provide new insights into how the mTOR pathway regulates CD8+ T cell effector function and memory commitment. Using a series of elegant mouse models, their work defines distinct roles for mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling in controlling the metabolic programs required for CD8+ T cell differentiation. Constitutive activation or repression of mTORC1 activity disrupted CD8+ T cell effector function, whereas loss of mTORC2 promoted skewing toward CD8+ memory cell formation. We had the opportunity to talk with first author Kristen Pollizzi about this work, as well as her current research efforts.\nI grew up in Baltimore, went to college at Boston College, and then attended graduate school at John Hopkins University School of Medicine, where I joined Jonathan Powell\u2019s lab. After I received my PhD, I continued with a short postdoc to wrap up my work in the Powell lab, and I have recently transitioned to become a scientist at MedImmune, where I work on novel immunotherapies.\nWhen did you start the work in this article?\nThis project has so many different layers to it, it\u2019s hard to pin a specific start date. It probably started in 2010, which is kind of scary to admit. We just kept adding more information based on what we were finding along the way. When we saw something interesting in our mice, we added further genotypes and new experimental models, so the work kept evolving over time.\nGiven this evolution, did the project end up where you thought it would?\nThat\u2019s an interesting question. There were some difficulties, because while I was working on the story, there were papers coming out on TSC1-deficient CD8+ T cells (1\u20136). My work focuses on TSC2, unlike the published reports. However, TSC1 and TSC2 form a protein complex that acts as a negative regulator of mTORC1 activity. Loss of either TSC1 or TSC2 results in the hyperactivation of mTORC1 signaling. We speculated that a Tsc1 knockout would resemble a Tsc2 knockout, but the data generated from the Tsc1 knockouts were fundamentally distinct from what we observed.\nIn the Tsc1 knockouts, the authors reported increased cellular death and reduced CD8+ T cell effector capacity, but in our hands with the Tsc2 knockouts, we found that the CD8+ T cells didn't die immediately. They actually had enhanced effector function and even better tumor clearance. We had to ask, \u201cWhat is going on, why is this so different?\u201d We discovered that even though these two genotypes would have been predicted to be similar, it looks like their signaling is distinct. We proved this idea after we generated a double-knockout mouse, which has loss of TSC2 and RICTOR [a component of mTORC2], and phenocopies the TSC1-deficient cells that the other reports have described.\nDo you recall a particular moment when things suddenly became clearer?\nWhen I finally saw the data with the double-knockout cells, that\u2019s when I let out a huge sigh of relief. But each layer of discovery just kept building on the others. It started with the Tsc2 knockout, and then the Rheb knockouts, which have loss of mTORC1 activity. Their phenotypes matched in that one did the opposite of what the other would do, which helped me feel confident in my data. Each genotype and layer we added fit into the mold, and it just kept going little by little.\nIs there anything in your work here that closes the book on any discrepancies that are out in the literature?\nYes, I believe so. There has been a flurry of manuscripts that have come out suggesting that there is a role for mTOR in CD8+ T cell function, but by utilizing these genetic knockouts, we could very specifically and distinctly prove exactly what signaling pathways are important for what function of the T cells. It is important to highlight the differences between mTORC1 and mTORC2 activity, because the differences between these pathways are often overlooked. Manuscripts will focus on the effects in one without mentioning the other. In addition, getting back to the TSC1 publications, the current published literature suggests that the hyperactivation of mTORC1 is detrimental to CD8+ T cell function. My data challenge this idea, but also demonstrate a reason for the discrepancy: hyperactivation of mTORC1 enhances CD8+ T cell effector function only in the presence of active mTORC2 signaling. Thus, this work provides further insight into the role of mTOR in CD8+ T cell function.\nWhat things did you feel really contributed to having such a successful project as this?\nA great mentor and a good communication with your mentor are both key. Additionally, I think a collaborative environment is critical for good science. I was very lucky to have amazing labmates who are incredibly hard working, but also a lot of fun. We truly worked as a team for many of the experiments in this paper, and they were pivotal to the success of this paper, so I definitely have them to thank for this.\nWhat influenced you to move from academic medicine into industry?\nI was very interested in being part of an organization where I could take my knowledge and my skill set and apply it to develop therapies that I could see go into patients and improve people\u2019s lives. I think it\u2019s exciting to see our work translate into a product that could be beneficial to someone else. That\u2019s what really made me take this leap, to try a different route from academia.\nIf you asked me a year ago if this was the route I was going to take, I don\u2019t know if I necessarily would have been able to tell you that that was true. To be honest, I think as scientists, we are trained to think that there's only one path for us, and that\u2019s to stay in academia. That\u2019s great for some of us, but there are other opportunities that are available. I had to think about what it is that I want in life and what I want to pursue, and I decided to give this a try. I\u2019ve been very happy so far.\nIs there anything in your career development that you would have changed, or that you would recommend to others?\nI\u2019m very happy with my scientific training. I was surrounded by great science at Hopkins. I felt welcome to ask questions and initiate discussions with the scientists around me. I was able to go to meetings and present my work and gain fresh perspectives. This path has not always been easy, but I don\u2019t think there's anything that I would necessarily change. There was definitely some failure, but without that, I don\u2019t think I would be where I am now.\nScience is tough. To survive as a scientist you have to be tenacious and resilient. My advice is to have a level head and a critical eye, push through when times are tough, and always let the data speak for itself. As for career development, I would highly recommend going to conferences, especially smaller ones, because it is such a great way to network with other scientists as well as to gain insight into the latest scientific and technology breakthroughs. Lastly, always feel confident to ask questions and challenge ideas \u2014 that\u2019s how scientific advancement occurs.\nHas your move to industry been what you expected?\nWhen you move into a company, you don\u2019t necessarily know exactly what to expect. But I\u2019m doing a lot of active science, and it\u2019s very interesting and exciting. In a way, it has actually been better than I had expected. I have felt challenged, in a positive way, by the work, and I also feel like I have a voice to contribute to the development of therapies that can enhance the quality of life for other individuals. That idea is incredibly rewarding to me and motivates me to work hard.\nI also don\u2019t think the switch is so black and white. People often paint academia and industry as two completely separate entities, but in reality, they are not. Great science is great science; and as long as you\u2019re pursuing interesting, forward-thinking research, it\u2019s very much the same.\n(1) O\u2019Brien TF, et al.

Powell\nActivation of mTOR-dependent pathways regulates the specification and differentiation of CD4+ T effector cell subsets. Herein, we show that mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTORC2 have distinct roles in the generation of CD8+ T cell effector and memory populations. Evaluation of mice with a T cell\u2013specific deletion of the gene encoding the negative regulator of mTORC1, tuberous sclerosis complex 2 (TSC2), resulted in the generation of highly glycolytic and potent effector CD8+ T cells; however, due to constitutive mTORC1 activation, these cells retained a terminally differentiated effector phenotype and were incapable of transitioning into a memory state. In contrast, CD8+ T cells deficient in mTORC1 activity due to loss of RAS homolog enriched in brain (RHEB) failed to differentiate into effector cells but retained memory characteristics, such as surface marker expression, a lower metabolic rate, and increased longevity. However, these RHEB-deficient memory-like T cells failed to generate recall responses as the result of metabolic defects. While mTORC1 influenced CD8+ T cell effector responses, mTORC2 activity regulated CD8+ T cell memory. mTORC2 inhibition resulted in metabolic reprogramming, which enhanced the generation of CD8+ memory cells. Overall, these results define specific roles for mTORC1 and mTORC2 that link metabolism and CD8+ T cell effector and memory generation and suggest that these functions have the potential to be targeted for enhancing vaccine efficacy and antitumor immunity.\nKristen N.

So I decided to make a stand.\nI started the Chris Norton Foundation to help people with neuromuscular injuries and disabilities overcome their obstacles, and live better lives, like I was able to. We\u2019re a nonprofit working to become a national foundation, and change the lives of people with spinal cord issues, so they can change their own.\nMy story is about more than just me.

        "raw_content": "loneliness is still time spent with the world\nPosted on October 26, 2016 June 1, 2017 by Christopher\nI have been meaning to write something for a few weeks now. Or perhaps more accurately, I have been trying. The title of this post comes from one of my favorite poems entitled \u201cSomeday I\u2019ll Love Ocean Vuong\u201c. Ocean Vuong is a gay Vietnamese-American poet, and my life was changed a little bit when I first heard a recording of him reading that poem. His debut full-length poetry collection Night Sky With Exit Wounds is one of the few non French literature related texts that I allowed myself to pack into my suitcase. My two months in Paris found me reading and re-reading his poems while doing things like: taking the metro, standing at the bus stop, waiting in line for a museum, queuing at Forever 21, crying while laying upside down on my bed, taking in the stillness of a mid-autumn afternoon with the Eiffel Tower peeking over my shoulder in the distance.\nI don\u2019t feel as cosmically lonely here in Paris anymore, equal parts thanks to the friends that I have made and the comfort that I have found in being by myself. In Philly, I find that I spend a lot of time alone but it feels different. I imagine that being in a different country away from my friends and family has something to do with it, but moreover I think that this time abroad has coalesced with my general introspection about my place in the world. I would say that this is a normal existential crisis for a senior in college, and one that may or may not have been exacerbated by re-reading Camus\u2019s L\u2019\u00c9tranger. Being away from everything that I\u2019ve gotten used to over the last few years feels like putting a spotlight on all of the things I have been trying to shove under my bed. The language thing really doesn\u2019t bother me anymore, I am comfortable enough with my French to do most everything without thinking twice about how my tongue and throat work together. It is only when I encounter something beyond my routine (how quickly we form habits) that I fret about whether or not something takes le or la, or if I should conjugate something in present tense or the subjunctive.\nI went to Normandy this past weekend with two guys that I\u2019ve gotten close to here. We rented a car and put just about 960 kilometers on it, crisscrossing the French countryside. Our first major stop was visiting Omaha Beach, the site of the D-Day landings during World War II. Vague flashbacks to AP Euro aside, it was a really special experience to walk the shoreline and see all of the memorials. As a child of immigrants from former colonies, my relationship to the concept of nationhood is a little tricky. I don\u2019t really feel any longing for European conquest or any real sense of pride in American war accomplishments like many of my white friends. Then again with my father being a Navy veteran, and virtually all of my relatively comfortable upper middle life being built on his career, I have some sort of intimacy with the military system regardless. Critiquing a system that has sustained me is certainly a challenge. I feel it when I talk about the American university, my own urban public college and its role in the ecosystem of North Philadelphia, or even when I think about my own Blackness and our current political moment. Sometimes I feel like I will never be radical enough. Or maybe my politics will be ever changing.\nMy courses are going fairly well at this point, after a shaky period of forcing myself past my fear of sounding dumb in my second language. The only way to get past that uncomfortable wall was to climb it, sentence by sentence. To be honest, my pride was getting in the way of me really getting substantially better, as I wouldn\u2019t let myself leave my comfort zone of small talk and safe phrases. But then, after some reflection, I realized I wouldn\u2019t really be taking full advantage of this opportunity if I don\u2019t dance in some unknown linguistic territory. The worst thing that has happened is that I\u2019ve had to figure out a different way to say something. Hearing Je ne comprends pas is not a death sentence.\nPrevious Post October, lately",

        "raw_content": "Hippodrome de Douai\nBesides being a circus building with an original shape, the The Hippodrome is also noted for its classic design, with its pediment and columns.\nMany circus buildings, organized around a circus ring, have been built in the nineteenth century. Only seven originals still exist in France today, including the Hippodrome of Douai.\nThe inauguration of the building during the Gayant celebrations in 1904 shows the Hippodrome became a important part and symbolic site of Douai culture. Until 1914 The building is mainly devoted to circus performances but is also used for cockfighting, union meetings, discounts medals, lottery draws, congresses etc.\nDuring WWII the circus building sufferened from significant damage; the post war reconstructions, however, allowed for an upgrade and improvement of comfort, lighting and especially the acoustics of the auditorium. The straight lined roof was very damaged and replaced by a dome shape roof. After the repairs and improvements the building was being used for a growing number of events: wrestling matches, dances, variety shows, folkloric ballets...\nFrom 1970, the purely artistic vocation of the Hippodrome is strengthened with the creation of an association called \"House of culture without walls\", renamed cultural Activity Center of Douai in 1974. The director Roland Poquet was determined that the circus building would be thoroughly renovated. Work finally began in 1984 and ended in 1986. The technical capabilities of the stage and auditorium were increased, offering more opportunities for different types of live performances. The Hippodrome could well pursue its objectives from the very beginning: to attract new audiences, shape them through artistic events, courses and introduction to theater and dance whilst in the meantime promoting regional creative activity. The success earned the building the status of a national stage in 1992.\nFrom September 2004 to December 2005, The Hippodrome is experiencing a new phase of work and a 140-seat auditorium (the Andr\u00e9 Obey room) is created in an adjoining building. The building still host contemporary circus shows from time to time.\nl'HIPPODROME DE DOUAI\nwww.tandem-arrasdouai.eu",

While this technology may never be practical as a very widespread solution to clean drinking water (or maybe it will \u2026), it seems that it could be very helpful in certain situations, such as after big natural disasters or in remote locations with limited clean water resources.\nJeff McIntire-Strasburg of sustainablog writes:\nWhen island nations experience disaster (think the Haitian earthquake), the victims are often faced with a cruel irony summed up (in a different context) by the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge: \u201cWater, water, everywhere,/Nor any drop to drink.\u201d Sure, aid organizations and other countries can deliver bottled water to address the immediate need, but that\u2019s not a sustainable long-term solution; people need regular access to clean drinking water as they\u2019re rebuilding whatever infrastructure existed prior to the disaster.\nMIT\u2019s Field and Space Robotics Laboratory writes:\nThe supply of energy and clean water to remote locations, such as desert facilities, farming operations, resorts, and small villages in the developing world can be logistically complex and expensive. This project explores the feasibility, design and control of small smart power units to provide clean water and energy to remote sites by using solar power and reverse osmosis modules\u2026.\nMore on the Details of this Portable Solar Desalination Plant\nThe working prototype MIT engineers have developed \u201cis capable of producing 80 gallons of water a day in a variety of weather conditions,\u201d but the engineers have much bigger long-term goals.\nThe intention it to create a system that can provide 1000 gallons of water a day and can be rapidly deployed for a total construction cost of about $8000.\nAnd, yes, the designers are addressing the concern of inconsistent sunlight. Watch the video below of a demonstration project in Boston on a partly cloudy day.\nLooks like a great potential solution to drinking water needs in a variety of places and situations, if it can be developed as intended.\nPhoto Credit: MIT\nTags: clean water, desalination, MIT, portable desalination, solar desalination\nHumans Worth Their Salt?

        "raw_content": "SPEAK BODY OF CHRIST\nFiled under: African-American,Anglican Church,Black Christian News,black church,Catholic Church,Church Justice,COGIC,Denominations,Episcopal Church,Lutheran Church,Pastors and Clergy,Presbyterian Church,United Methodist Church,Wesleyan Church \u2014 R.E. Stidham @ 3:41 PM\nTo all followers of Jesus Christ, this writing crosses denominational, age, economic, gender, and racial lines. Millions within the Body of Christ are active members of organized churches that are judicially and ecclesiastically classified as hierarchical. The origin of the hierarchical church classification can be traced back to the U. S. Supreme Court, the case of Watson v. Jones, 80 U. S. (13 Wall.) 679 (1871). A popularly held judicial view is that in a hierarchical form of government local churches purchase land, construct buildings, and maintain property for the national church, not the local church. This view disregards the fact/reality that the local church invests the funds, without any assistance from the national church. Local church property under this system of church polity (government) is usually held in the name of the local church; yet the courts have allowed the national church to impose, often unilaterally, a trust in favor of the national church. This trust whether express or implied is often imposed without the local congregations knowledge or consent. A judge once commented, in these church cases the parent (national) church really has the local church over a barrel.\nFellow members of the Body of Christ, Jesus tells us in John 10:1 & John 10:7:\n\u201c. . . . Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.\u201d\nThe hierarchical polity system, did not enter into the sheepfold (the Body of Christ), through Jesus (The Door); it came into the sheepfold through the civil courts (judicial system). Jesus says that he (it, that or things) that enter into the sheepfold another way other than by Him, the same is a thief and a robber (Strong\u2019s Exhaustive Concordance, Greek Dictionary # 846, he). The hierarchical polity system is a thief and a robber. Jesus has given us authority. Matthew 28:18-19, James 4:7, II Corinthians 10:3-5. It is time for each of us individually and corporately to boldly speak to the hierarchical polity system in the name of Jesus. We must open our mouths say, speak:\nCommand the hierarchical polity system throughout the Body of Christ to come down in Jesus name. Plead the Blood of Jesus against the hierarchical polity system and continue to hold the Blood of Jesus up against the hierarchical polity system. Mark 11:22-25, Revelation 12:11.\nBrothers and sisters remember the Berlin Wall. We went to bed one night the wall was standing, we awoke the next morning the wall was down. The wall stood for years, the wall was fortified with military men armed with rifles/guns, guard dogs; yet as believers around the world spoke to that wall in the name of Jesus, that wall came down. Some laughed at former President Reagan, when he said, \u201cMr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall.\u201d We have a biblical demonstration of the people of God opening their mouths and shouting and the walls of Jericho came tumbling down. Read the 6th chapter of the book of Joshua and be encouraged, for our God changes not and Jesus, our Champion is the same, yesterday, today and forever. Malachi 3:6 & Hebrews 13:8\nFiled under: African-American,Black Christian News,black church,Church Justice,COGIC,Denominations,Pastors and Clergy \u2014 R.E. Stidham @ 4:37 PM\nWe have heard much about the COGIC constitution. Some believe it to be a \u201cHoly\u201d document. I thought I would let you judge for yourselves. Here is part one and part two of the \u201cGreen and White Book\u201d. Notice it says of part one \u201cCertified Amendments\u201d. These are the amendments that were certified in 1972 by then Presiding Bishop J.O. Patterson, the first and second assistant Presiding Bishops J.S. Bailey and S.M. Crouch, as well as the Secretary, D.A. Burton. Notice the new amendments, 1982 have not been certified or registered with the Tennessee Secretary of State as by Tennessee State law, all amendments to a Corporate Charter must be done. Here is , from the Official Manual, the Signature page where they complied with state law. This page would go on page 36 of the Green and White Book I, the Certified Amendments. However, the Leadership (my use of the word Leadership does not reference any individuals but the totality of those in charge), also uses amendments that have not been certified, according to the State of Tennessee Law, also Green and White Book II. Look carefully and decide. Here is a link to the COGIC OFFICIAL MANUAL, as you can see, once you get past Part I, page 1, paragraph 3; there is no mention of the Bible. If you base it on the Bible it must line up with the WORD OF GOD. The claim of it being based on the Bible is not supported by its content.\nEven so come Lord Jesus.",

        "raw_content": "Cue Can Be Claimed More Than Once\nptsd Cue Can Be Claimed More Than Once\nCUE can be claimed more than once - BUT - Must be claimed, under completely different theory.\nAs a threshold matter, the Board sees that in a November 2002 Board decision, the Board previously denied the issue of whether there was CUE in the May 1998 rating decision that denied an effective date earlier than August 11, 1992 for the award of service connection for PTSD. However, this denial of CUE was based on a separate and distinct CUE theory from the one presently being argued. That is, the Veteran's earlier CUE motion was based on VA's alleged failure to fulfill the duty to assist, which is not the current theory of CUE being asserted. See e.g., earlier June 2000 CUE motion. Once there is a denial of a CUE claim, under the principle of res judicata, the same claim cannot be raised again. See Link v. West, 12 Vet. App. 39, 44 (1998); Russell v. Principi, 3 Vet. App. 310, 315 (1992) (\"[o]nce there is a final decision on the issue of 'clear and unmistakable error' because the [agency of original jurisdiction] decision was not timely appealed, or because a [board] decision not to revise or amend was not appealed to this Court, or because this Court has rendered a decision on the issue in that particular case, that particular claim of 'clear and unmistakable error' may not be raised again.\"); see also Flash v. Brown, 8 Vet. App. 332, 341 (1995). However, the principle of res judicata bars refiling only as to that particular assertion of CUE; it does not prohibit a claimant from presenting another theory of CUE so long as it is separate and distinct. Flash, 8 Vet. App. at 341; Andre v. Principi, 301 F.3d. 1354, 1361 (Fed. Cir. 2002). In fact, in Hillyard v. Shinseki, No. 08-1733 (U.S. Vet. App. Mar. 29, 2011), the Court recently reiterated VA's position that the number of motions to revise based on clear and unmistakable error that a claimant may bring against a RO decision (as opposed to a Board decision), is unlimited, so long as each new challenge involves a distinct theory of clear and unmistakable error. Therefore, the Veteran is not barred in the present case from alleging a new theory of CUE since it is separate and distinct from the previous theory.\nGOOD stuff Carlie!!!!!\nWhen the BVA states ,in a CUE Motion denial, that the claim is dismissed without prejudice, it means if the claim is reworked\nas to a new theory of legal error,over an error that impacted negatively on the claimant, a new CUE claim can be filed.",

        "raw_content": "Shigeo Iwamiya: Creating Safe, Empowering Spaces for LGBTQ Athletes\nFeatured in our September/October 2018 issue of Compete Magazine\nWhile we all love knowing about sports superstars, especially the more recent ones from Jason Collins to pro golfer Tadd Fujikawa who have come out, it\u2019s the everyday athletes like Shigeo Iwamiya who are one of the big reasons I love this job! It\u2019s recreational athletes who often sacrifice their time, money, even personal ego to play the sport they love and make it better for everyone \u2013 they are the heart of the sports diversity movement.\nBorn and raised on an American Air Force base in Tokyo, Japan, as a bi-racial person Shigeo says he\u2019s been navigating his way through a mixture of worlds all his life. Having moved to the U.S. in 1994, he earned a Master\u2019s Degree in Education where his life experiences are a perfect fit for his professional life as the Director of Residence Life and Housing at Suffolk University in Boston. But what does all this have to do with sports \u2013 LGBTQ sports in particular?\nShigeo loves sports and has been playing and coaching a variety of them all his life. But as a gay man it wasn\u2019t until he found the National Gay Flag Football League\u2019s (NGFFL) New York Gay Flag Football League back in 2011 that he found the home for which he\u2019d been searching. Of that experience, Shigeo has this to say:\n\u201cSometimes I was not Asian enough and other times I wasn\u2019t White enough; I was always looking for ways to find my place. And being part of LGBTQ sports made that connection when I could just simply be myself and accept me for being me and go out there and have fun and play sports. It\u2019s that moment when I realized I need to help others feel the same way I did, which is why I work hard at creating these spaces for people to feel accepted and belong to a community.\u201d\nAs a natural introvert raised in the polite and reserved Japanese culture where he says he received lots of abuse from his father, it\u2019s through American LGBTQ sports that he learned to change his childhood narrative of not being enough to a new one. He now embraces one that confirms he\u2019s more than enough, saying \u201cI can be whatever I want to be.\u201d\nNow having played flag football since 2011, Shigeo calls it \u201can amazing journey.\u201d And while he\u2019s never thought of himself as a star athlete, he says he\u2019s been lucky enough to be team captain in three different cities (his job requires lots of moves), Denver, Boston and New York where he led his team to the B Division championship at Gay Bowl XIII in Phoenix. He\u2019s also been elected as a director for the NGFFL. True to his caring nature, he said that at last year\u2019s Gay Bowl XVII in his hometown of Boston \u201cI made a commitment to Gay Bowl to not participate with a team at all and simply assist the Host Team and NGFFL to elevate the experience for everyone.\u201d\nIt went so well that he continued his commitment at this year\u2019s Gay Bowl XVIII in Denver. \u201cI think it\u2019s important for LGBTQ people to be included everywhere, even in non-LGBTQ specific sports. \u2026 I feel that we need to be better at using sports as communities to bring people together rather than point out the differences between people.\u201d\nSo for you, Shigeo Iwamiya and all the other dedicated part-time recreational athletes like you who are using your leadership skills for inclusion, diversity, equality and acceptance both on the field and off, I am in awe of you. From the bottom of my heart I salute and support you for making the world a better place for us all!\nSwimming for Visibility and Inclusion for LGBT+ people",

        "title": "Measuring a Judicial Legacy Measuring a Judicial Legacy \u2013 Concurring Opinions",
        "raw_content": "Measuring a Judicial Legacy\nOne way to think about a career such as Justice Kennedy\u2019s is to look at the opinions that he wrote or the cases where he probably supplied the decisive vote. You can also consider his extra-judicial acts or (years from now) assess his internal influence at the Court through memos.\nHere\u2019s another way of thinking about this though. Years from now, will anyone say something like \u201cAs Justice Kennedy reasoned\u201d or \u201cAs Justice Kennedy explained\u201d in an opinion or a brief? We see that with federal judges like Henry Friendly and Supreme Court Justices like Robert Jackson. And we have already seen that with Justice Scalia since his death. I doubt very much, though, that anyone will think invoking Justice Kennedy by name will convince anybody of anything in future.\nDepublishing Opinions\nOWS, Discourse, and Narratives\nKennedy was one of four Justices who sat during the past 80 or so years \u2013 Owen Roberts in the 1930\u2019s; Lewis Powell in the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s; and Sandra Day O\u2019Conner in the 80\u2019s through the 2000\u2019s were the other ones \u2013 whose significance was based more on where they were on the Court than on their actual quality as judicial thinkers and craftsmen. As long as they held the key deciding vote, they wielded great authority and were often assigned an overly large proportion of significant cases. Of the four, Kennedy was probably the weakest quality wise \u2013 though Roberts would give him some competition. Preferring the rhetorical phrase over careful analysis and refusing to respond to the criticisms made by the dissenting Justices, Kennedy\u2019s opinions often wilt when exposed to these dissenting views. And if you like the soaring phrases about dignity in the gay rights cases \u2013 which frankly I do \u2013 just compare them to the patronizing garbage he spewed out in the second partial birth abortion opinion. Neither of these, however, can rescue these often poorly reasoned opinions. If he did not hold this pivotal role on the Court, Kennedy would be dismissed as a relative weak link, rated at the low end of the \u201cAverage Justice\u201d category. Powell and O\u2019Conner would probably be rated in the \u201cAbove Average\u201d category, but neither would make the \u201cAll Time\u201d or \u201cNear Great\u201d lists.\nKennedy and O\u2019Connor were both in the majority in Bush v. Gore. For that reason, neither should be rated as anything but disgraces to their profession.\nNext story Restoring the Double Jeopardy Clause\nPrevious story Barnette as the Ultimate Defense to Judicial Review",

        "raw_content": "Consett Churches Detached Youth Project (CCDYP) was launched in 1981 following the closure of the Steel Company and subsequent closure of the coal mines in the Consett and Derwentside areas.\nUnemployment brought with it many problems, family break ups, depression, drink/drug abuse mental health and anti-social behaviour. The main concern of our founders was for the young people in the area and their futures.\nToday there is very little change in circumstances, although new employers came into the area not many stayed and unemployment is still very high particularly amongst young people. We mainly work in the villages surrounding Consett where there is very little or in some cases no youth provision, leaving the young people feeling disenfranchised and \u201cleft our\u201d of their communities.\nEmphasis is placed on improving the quality of life, raising self-esteem, new learning skills, physical and emotional wellbeing. Our workers listen to their needs in relation to social, health and education, facilitating them in attaining their personal goals.\nWe also offer help and support for young people who are searching for jobs, CV writing, crisis support or even just a friendly face to chat to.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Property News \u00bb New Figures Show Number Of Rental Properties In The UK Is Falling Rapidly\nThe number of private rental properties in the UK is falling at an alarming rate, particularly in Greater London, according to new figures from Home.co.uk.\nThe number of available homes to rent in Greater London that have been on the market for 20 weeks or less fell dramatically by 24% over the last year, from 52,388 in August 2017 to 39,746 in August this year, the latest report shows.\nThe report shows that the number of homes to rent in the area is at its lowest level since March 2015 whilst rents have risen by 4% over the last 12 months.\nIt also suggests that an average yield of just 3.7% in August in the capital, compared to 4.7% across the rest of the UK, looks to be a key factor in landlords leaving the rental market in London.\nAcross mainland UK, the supply of all available homes to rent, including hard to rent properties that have been on the market for more than 20 weeks, has fallen by more than 10,000 since July 2017, from 233,453 to 223,115.\nAside from London, another particularly badly hit area is the South East, where supply of all available rental properties fell from 30,066 in August 2017 to 27,728 in the same month this year.\nThe report says that the lack of rental property in London is likely a direct result of a barrage of costly new legislation and taxation measures imposed on the sector. As a consequence, landlords are deciding to sell up.\nFrom April next year, individual buy to let investors will be unable to offset all their mortgage interest against their profits and within the next three years, none of this interest will be tax deductible.\nAnother intervention has been increased red tape for landlords due to additional licensing for Homes of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs), whereby councils can impose their own licensing on HMOs.\nThe report also suggests that landlords who have decided to leave the private rented sector know that if they continue to let property, they will now be losing money overall.\n\u2018The main driver for rent hikes going forward is an alarming lack of homes to rent, especially in Greater London and 24% is a huge drop and much of it can be ascribed to the buy to le exodus. Basic economics tells us that when supply falls prices must rise. In the case of London, it looks like rents will increase quickly,\u2019 said director Doug Shephard.\n\u2018They need to rise. For too long, rents have lagged behind house price inflation, to the point where yields have sunk too low. Rental returns fundamentally underpin property values and London prices desperately need a fillip to prevent the slide into negative equity,\u2019 he added.\nTags: buy to let, landlords, private rental, rental property",

        "raw_content": "Timeplots has launched a new infographic poster, The Visual History of the United States House of Representatives. Available for purchase from the Timeplots site for $34.95.\nThis large-scale (48\u2033x32\u201d) print is like nothing else available on the history of the U.S. House of Representatives. It depicts the progression in political ideology of every House seat from 1789 to 2010.\nThe infographic design visualizes the entire history from 1789-2013. The main, central visualization is the unique highlight of this design. Each representative is shown by a colored circle that matches their party affiliation, and placed along a vertical scale based on their ideology. The circles are filled partially transparent, so you get the cumulative color effect when the circles overlap. This creates a darker color when many representatives within any particular two-year Congress share a similar ideology, and you can see clear areas of concentration. Fantastic new visualization method, and creates a beautiful image.\nThe poster also visualizes the balance of power for each two-year Congress by party, and compares it to the Senate and the President from the same time period. Major milestones, amendments, governance issues, economy, foreign affairs, civil rights and social policy achievements are also plotted within the time periods they took place.\nNathaniel Pearlman, Founder and President of Timeplots, agreed to answer a few behind-the-scenes questions about designing the poster.\nCool Infographics: What software applications were used to help analyze the data and create the design?\nNathaniel Pearlman: So far we have programmed our information graphic prints in the R language and done the final design pass in Illustrator. I\u2019m interested in hearing about other platforms to use for complex data and layout \u2014 especially other software applications that would allow us to create interactive and print versions from the same code base.\nCool Infographics: What\u2019s the most interesting thing you learned from the data?\nNathaniel Pearlman: As with some of our other posters, I like the big picture: for me, the visual history of the U.S. house print shows the sweep of U.S. history \u2014 a marked contrast with the more journalistic, and immediate, take on the political and economic state of the nation that we are used to seeing in the news. You can clearly see the ebb and flow over time of ideological overlap between the parties \u2013 and how they are at such loggerheads now.\nCool Infographics: What was the hardest part behind designing the House poster?\nNathaniel Pearlman: For the House poster, it took us a while to come up with a compelling central graphic. We were looking for something visually arresting from a distance, but that captured the key patterns in the data. I think we found that.\nCool Infographics: What should we expect in the future from Timeplots?\nNathaniel Pearlman: We have recently launched Graphicacy, a design group that helps other tell their own stories with print or interactive information graphics, especially involving large or complex data sets. For Timeplots, we are currently working on a history of U.S. State boundaries and a visual history of baseball. I am excited about both of them. I would also love to hear from your audience what they would like to see, and we are always looking for collaborators, if someone would like to work with us on a project that they care about. We\u2019re open to new ideas!\nCool Infographics: Who is your primary audience for the posters? Schools, businesses, political offices, individuals, etc.?\nNathaniel Pearlman: Our primary audience is those with true interest in the subject matter. Our work is explanatory or educational art for smart people \u2013 and just about everyone has areas of intense interest, whether it is sports, entertainment, food, politics or finance. Timeplots has done a lot with American politics so far, but we intend to move now into other areas as well.\ngovernment, history, politics, poster, timeline\nOct 29 Halloween Statistics 2012: Creepy Calculations",

        "raw_content": "Posted in life, tagged family, grandchildren, home schooling, new toys, school, technology on May 12, 2016| Leave a Comment \u00bb\nI\u2019ve had a couple of emotional days this week. It was the anniversary of my dad\u2019s death, first one. And the day after it was my brother\u2019s birthday which is always tougher for me than the anniversary of his death. So lots of emotions all bundled up with Mother\u2019s Day.\nYou might recall that my cell phone died back in February and I resuscitated a very old Samsung Galaxy (3). That\u2019s what I\u2019ve been using. We finally figured out what we were doing carrier-wise so my daughter signed us up for new service and phones. I picked the cheapest phone, which after rebate, would be an out and out purchase price of $42. Not bad. But today I have been trying to set it up and it has been very frustrating because, although it\u2019s nice, half of the storage space on the device is taken up by system files and carrier bloatware. So with only a fraction of my apps loaded on it, I only had less than a GB left, even after moving everything possible to the memory card. So that is not going to work, especially since this phone has to last me as long as maybe five years! So Thursday I have to go back in with my daughter to get it switched for the phone I really wanted but can\u2019t afford. My daughter offered to get it for me! It\u2019s a lot for her to pay so I will try to pay her at least for some of it but I am really excited about it! Yay. Let\u2019s see if it happens, you know how things always get in the way of what you want. We\u2019ll see. New toy! New toy!\nAnderson and I are breezing through home schooling. This week I had him come to my house and we brought all his books. So with no interruptions, we are getting through four hours of course work in about an hour and a half to two hours\u2026with a lengthy break included. Today we finished the last Math lesson for the year so I am going to have him play some logic games and do some computation sheets and money. I think Monday we will finish the P.E. course and the Science. Yay. That leaves some enrichment time and maybe some subject appropriate field trips. The end is in sight. Next year we are doing a different online academy that is run by a local school so it looks like it\u2019s better. More contact with the academy staff and more personalized material and lessons. Yay! Yay!\nI think that\u2019s about it here. At least for now.\nTop 10 Frustrations When Getting New Technology\nPosted in life, Throwback Thursday Link Party, tagged blog hops, blogging, TBT, technology, Throwback Thursday Link Party on March 3, 2016| 4 Comments \u00bb\nToday I am dealing with tech issues again as my phone died yesterday so today I have to update and set up an old phone so I can use that until I decide what I am doing with my cell service as I am changing providers within the next couple of months. So this is a good post to revisit for Throwback Thursday Link Party. I originally published it 8 moths ago!\nVisit the Throwback Thursday Link Party at Part Time Monster!\nPosted in life, tagged adapting to needs, Double Robotics, school, technology, teens, tomorrow today on January 28, 2016| 2 Comments \u00bb\nI was going to blog about the Challenger explosion on its anniversary but instead, I will blog about something positive.\nI came across a news story today. I don\u2019t usually watch TV news because I don\u2019t subscribe to cable or satellite. Instead, I bought one of those \u201cmilitary grade\u201d antennas that is supposed to catch the digital signal and allow you to watch TV. I don\u2019t life near enough to the TV stations telecast stations so I don\u2019t usually get a good signal so I\u2019ve pretty much given up on it. Lately, though, I found that if I tune it in early, I can catch the 4 pm news broadcast before I lose the signal. So when I think of it, I do that.\nToday, I watched a story about a high school student who has recently gone through a bone marrow transplant and cannot physically attend school. She was adamant that she was going to graduate on time and keep in touch with her friends. She did not want to miss a moment of school. Her counselor approached the school district with Jaden\u2019s story. The school district responded by investing in a Double Robotics system. This system is a Segway paired with an iPad. Jaden controls it from home, like one would control a video game. It allows her to move from class to class with her school mates, participate in class lessons and discussions, and even have lunch with her friends. It\u2019s an amazing story. The unit cost the school district $3000 which is really an investment as it can be used by another student or even by a staff member, who cannot physically be in attendance. It can be used over and over again by multiple students and staff.\nThe story brought tears to my eyes. I encourage you to watch the news report that I watched to get a fuller sense of what an amazing piece of technology this is. I think every school district should have this as an option. For the relatively low price, it would bring such happiness and sense of accomplishment to so many. I really think all school districts should have at least one unit available. By the way, this story is so local that it happens to be the same school district that my grandson attends.",

        "raw_content": "Cat\t May 20, 2018 Film and TV\nGuess what\u2019s back, back again? What I\u2019ve Been Watching is back \u2013 tell a friend.\nYep, once again it\u2019s time to share some mini spoiler-free reviews of movies I\u2019ve seen at the cinema lately! Featuring two movies I wasn\u2019t really fussed about seeing, one I just had to see for the second time and one I\u2019ve been v v hyped about watching! Let\u2019s dig in\u2026\nThis was one of those movies that Liam just mentioned to me after he\u2019d booked the tickets for us to see it. That\u2019s the beauty of having an Unlimited card, you can go along to see films you\u2019re not overly fussed about watching and every once in a while you\u2019ll get a real gem.\nSadly, Tully was not one of those gems. On paper, it sounded good because it was written by the same person who wrote Juno and was also directed by the same director. And who doesn\u2019t love Juno? Well, Tully is very different to Juno (despite also dealing with the topic of pregnancy), and although the performances were great the film overall was pretty average.\nIt stars Charlize Theron who is an incredible actress, as well as Mark Duplass who I just love (but his part was pretty minor in the grand scheme of things), but in all honesty, I\u2019d probably just recommend watching this if/when it hits Netflix.\nReality: 2\nBreaking In was actually another movie I wasn\u2019t fussed to see. I saw a snippet of the trailer when scrolling Instagram one day and didn\u2019t give it much thought, but then Liam mentioned that he wanted to see it and so I figured what\u2019s the harm?\nBreaking In is one of those average movies that has a semi-decent story and a few good performances (namely Gabrielle Union). It does get tenser as the film goes on but unfortunately, the editing of the film wasn\u2019t great which meant I didn\u2019t feel 100% engaged with everything going on. Oh, and the villains were also painfully dull.\nExpectation: 3.5\nAvengers: Infinity War (IMAX)\nOK, so I know I reviewed this last time, but we both decided we wanted to see it again and so when we found out it was available to watch in IMAX 2D, we jumped at the chance. The first viewing we saw the sound quality was pretty pants so seeing it in IMAX guaranteed not just better sound but picture too.\nOMG guys, seeing it in IMAX was so much better \u2013 the film really is stunning to look at. They absolutely smashed it with the visual effects (no surprises though really as their budgets must be insane), but on second viewing I also had the chance to properly hear some of the lines I missed first time due to the sound issues. Despite knowing what happens at the end of the movie, it still totally holds up and I found myself emotionally invested in what was going on.\nExpectation: 4 (cos y\u2019know, I\u2019ve already seen it)\nReality: (still a high) 4\nAnyone else been loving the marketing around Deadpool? I know I have. I loved the first movie and I was super excited to see the sequel.\nAs far as sequels go, it\u2019s a decent one. Lots of laughs, introductions to fun new characters and also the inclusion of great characters from the first movie. I think as with the first movie, a few of the jokes don\u2019t hit as well as the majority, but it is pretty rare for a movie with a tonne of references to hit the mark every single time.\nThe only reason I didn\u2019t quite rate Deadpool 2 as high as the first one (4/5) is that I wasn\u2019t massively keen on the story in this one. It works, but for me it just wasn\u2019t quite as enjoyable to experience as Deadpool 1.\nDefinitely go see this one in IMAX if you can as there\u2019s plenty of action scenes which looked really cool in IMAX. The CGI is pretty ace as well. Oh, and stick around for the credits\u2026but I don\u2019t need to tell you that because it\u2019s a Marvel movie (although there\u2019s no post-credit scene, just a few scenes towards the beginning of the credits).\nReality: 3.5\n(Still Jurassic World: The Fallen Kingdom, but here\u2019s a couple more to look forward to!)\nI wouldn\u2019t usually be that bothered about a comedy starring Melissa McCarthy but I have to admit that the trailer has sold it to me. My expectations aren\u2019t huge for this one, but I think it will be good fun.\nI may be in the minority here, but I\u2019m reallllly losing interest in the Star Wars movies. I\u2019ll go see this because well\u2026Liam wants to and it might be alright, but I\u2019m not particularly hyped for it. The only thing I\u2019m interested in is Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian tbh.\nPrevious Post Exploring Eartham Woods\nNext Post How To Get The Most Out Of Seeing A Therapist\nEee I loved Deadpool 2! I was really worried it wouldn\u2019t be as good as the first because well\u2026 It was the first one and it hadn\u2019t been done yet! The second one I loved just as much as the first one however, if not more to be honest. I\u2019m a massive Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool fan from the comics and this is just by far one of my favourite things in the world!\nI get what you mean though by the storyline\u2026 It was so odd but it\u2019s only the kind of thing you\u2019d see in the comics. \ud83d\ude1b\nYay a fellow DP fan! I think I only really narrowly enjoyed the first one as the first foray into *real* Deadpool\u2026not that Origins crap lol.

        "raw_content": "July 1, 2015 November 1, 2015 by ADMINJ\nAssets Test Challenge\nIssues with the assets test and the taper rate highlight the need for considered, coherent and comprehensive reform of retirement incomes policy, argues ANU Professor and CSRI member Andrew Podger,\nFormer Labor government minister Craig Emerson has argued Labor\u2019s decision to oppose tightening the superannuation assets test was opportunistic, likening it to the 1989 decision by the Hawke government to subsidise an Australian factory of doomed camera film company Kodak.\nBut is Emerson right?\nMore opportunistic is the government\u2019s proposal itself, as is the Opposition\u2019s proposal to change superannuation tax arrangements. Both are piecemeal measures dressed up for popular support by images of millionaires receiving unjustified benefits. Equally opportunistic is Prime Minister Tony Abbott\u2019s insistence that any change to superannuation arrangements would amount to an attack on people\u2019s hard-earned savings.\nWhat we really need is a considered, coherent and comprehensive review of retirement income policy.\nEmerson, an important advocate of long-term reform, rightly draws attention to some of the weaknesses in the government\u2019s proposals, and criticises the Greens for pre-empting the Senate inquiry reviewing the legislation. But I think he fails to appreciate just how problematic the assets test change is and that it might make wider reform harder, not easier.\nA well-designed means test focuses on the maximum level of the pension (what is an adequate amount to ensure protection from poverty) and the rate of taper applied as non-pension income and assets increase (what rate would retain reasonable incentives to work and to save). The point at which eligibility cuts out is simply a function of these two variables. The government has focused almost entirely, however, on the cut-out points, highlighting the fact that for couples they are currently above the magical $1 million of assets. Little, if any, explanation has been given to the impact of the rate of taper needed to achieve the new cut-out points. A comparison with the better-designed pension income test demonstrates the problems involved.\nThe income test has a withdrawal rate of 50\u00a2 in the dollar from a little over a \u201cfree\u201d $7000 a year. With a maximum combined pension of more than $33,000 a year, this makes the cut-out point just less than $75,000. The taper was lifted from 40\u00a2 following a 2009 Harmer Review recommendation and no one is suggesting reducing the ensuing cut-out point. To generate an income of $75,000, including drawing down the capital, as well as living on the interest, a couple in their late 60s would need nearly $1.5 million at normal interest rates and as much as $2 million at the current abnormally low rates. To reduce the cut-out point to less than the equivalent of $1 million in assets (ie, to an income of about $50,000 or less) would require a taper of about 75 per cent.\nThe government\u2019s assets test has an effective taper that is much higher than this, because it involves not only a cut-out point of $823,000 for a home-owning couple, but a \u201cfree area\u201d of $375,000. Seventy-eight dollars of pension is lost for each $1000 of assets between these two amounts, or much more than 100 per cent of the income, including some drawdown of assets, that could reasonably be derived from the extra $1000.\nThe consequences for incentives are significant. For example, unless they already have more than $800,000, a couple in their 50s or early 60s who have superannuation savings of $300,000 or more would probably be wise to contribute no more than 9.5 per cent of their wages and focus instead on paying off the mortgage. Yet our superannuation arrangements are intended to encourage greater contributions, particularly at this time in their lives.\nCouples in their 70s will be discouraged from any downsizing plans to free up assets for other consumption purposes because of the impact on their age pension entitlement.\nNone of this is to suggest there is no room to tighten the means test. Consideration could be given to include the value of the home above some threshold. Also, the income test deeming rules could be more closely aligned to the incomes people could derive from their assets, including from drawing down the capital over their retirement years. This would allow the income test and assets test to be merged, as recommended by the Henry review, encouraging older people, and the whole community, to stop thinking in terms of accumulated savings (and the apparent huge amounts involved) and focus instead on retirement income streams and the (much more modest-appearing) amounts most people would wish to live on.\nThe likelihood that a majority of the aged would still receive some pension is not a matter for alarm. That was always expected and is simply a function of an adequate maximum pension and a reasonable means test taper.\nWhat our superannuation system is achieving successfully is a sharp shift away from allowing most older Australians to receive full-rate pensions to ensuring most receive only a part-rate pension, with a not-insignificant increase also in the proportion receiving no pension.\nComprehensive reform, of course, must go beyond the age pension and include the level and fairness of superannuation tax arrangements and the effectiveness of those arrangements in delivering adequate and secure incomes over people\u2019s retirement years.\nThe government\u2019s concession to the Greens to broaden the tax white paper process might be a step in the right direction, but a more independent and comprehensive review seems more likely to encourage bipartisan \u2013 and community \u2013 support for genuine reform.\nAndrew Podger is ANU professor of public policy and a member of the Committee for Sustainable Retirement Incomes.

        "raw_content": "Employees\u2019 Perception is Culture Reality\nEmployee\u2019s Perception in the Workplace\nOn the playground when I was a kid, a classmate asked me what color the sky was. I told him \u201cblue,\u201d most likely accompanied by a condescending eye-roll. He then pointed out that the version of blue I saw might not be the same blue color he saw.\nI still remember how this gave me pause. As an elementary school kid, I had never thought about the nuances of perception before. I naturally assumed we saw the same version of blue because we were both humans with a set of eyes. Yet, upon thinking about it more, I realized that there was no way to verify that we were seeing the same color. And remember the white/gold or blue/black dress that broke the internet? Thousands of people viewed the same photo and saw a completely different color scheme.\nYou\u2019ve probably heard the phrase \u201cperception is reality.\u201d We all view the world from a unique perspective, and while we can be aware that other perceptions exist, we tend to live within our own. This means that all of your company\u2019s stakeholders \u2013 customers, employees, shareholders, etc.- base their reality on their perceptions. I heard the quote the other day by corporate consultant Kate Zabriskie: \u201cThe customer\u2019s perception is your reality.\u201d The same applies to employees. In fact, employees\u2019 perception is your company culture reality.\nAt CultureIQ, we define company culture as how and why things get done in an organization. Perception plays a significant role in that \u201cwhy\u201d component. The way our mind interprets the world around us drives our beliefs, and in turn, our beliefs drive our actions.\nFor example, let\u2019s say that you\u2019re presenting during an important meeting, and you notice that your manager is typing on her laptop while you\u2019re speaking.\nYour perception: Wow, I put so much work into this presentation, and my manager is multi-tasking. She doesn\u2019t think the work I do is important enough to warrant her full attention.\nManager perception: I know how much work he put into this presentation, and I\u2019m going to take diligent notes to share with him afterwards.\nNow, let\u2019s say your manager gets busy and forgets to share her notes with you. How would you feel? How would that impact that way you behave the next time your manager asks you to present?\nWithout constantly communicating openly about every situation, it\u2019s difficult to identify these misalignments in perception, but crucial to know that they exist. How do you identify and understand perceptions?\nAsk. At CultureIQ, we use survey statements such as \u201cLeadership cares about me\u201d and compare the extent to which different employee groups agree or disagree. If the data shows misalignment between employee groups, we dig into the survey comments to gather greater insight. If surveying isn\u2019t a key way your company gathers feedback, perceptions can be discovered during honest one-on-one conversations, focus groups, or anonymous Q&A sessions with management.\nAs they say, there are two sides to every story. Whether you\u2019re an individual contributor, a manager, or an executive, I challenge you to pause before blaming or dismissing an experience you\u2019ve had. Instead, choose to be open and understanding, and don\u2019t be afraid to ask why.",

        "raw_content": "Turning Big Data from Cost to Revenue\nNav Dhunay \u00b7 October 14, 2016\nNav Dhunay 2016-10-14\nBig Data and the Internet of Things are currently being lauded in many industries as the new frontier for business and, with seemingly ground-breaking solutions being rolled out for innumerable different use cases daily, it\u2019s certainly not all hyperbole. At this moment, an estimated 4.9 billion sensors are connected to the internet and that number is expected to rocket to 50 billion in the next five years.\nAt this point in its evolution, many businesses still ask themselves if Big Data is going to save them money, and if so, when\nA key aspiration of Big Data, is to unlock entirely new levels of insight around behaviour, processes or entire industries and then, via analysis, derive intelligent, actionable insights. Once implemented, these insights demonstrate their value through one or more benefits which can come in the form of increased productivity, efficiency, security, health or, in some cases, an ability to predict future outcomes.\nMaking Dumb Data Smart\nWithout analysis, data itself is raw, unwieldy and inherently useless. Its real value and ability to demonstrate ROI is dictated by the level of sophistication in the analysis it undergoes and, from there, how quickly and efficiently any gained intelligence can be implemented in order to see benefits.\nHowever, this process of moving from raw information to intelligent insight and through to implemented action is not straightforward. In many current IoT use cases, especially those in Industrial IoT, this staggered process may involve the coordination of several different specialists, each with singular responsibility for integrating machine sensors, collecting and transmitting raw data, analyzing data, supplying intelligence based results and then carrying out physical changes to machines or procedures based on that intelligence.\nNot only can this be a cumbersome process, it can also make for an expensive one, reducing, or negating altogether, the benefits sought through implementation.\nIn the industrial sector, a big data-driven solution must be comprehensive in order to achieve the most significant returns on an investment. Ideally, they should be self-sufficient to not only capture rich raw data, but to analyze that data with a high level of sophistication and then have the capability to autonomously manipulate a process or machine\u2019s performance based on a growing intelligence.\nA great example of this is Google-owned Nest thermostats which collect data about specific user behaviour and then are then able to autonomously implement changes based on that intelligence, to heighten efficiency, increase the comfort of their users and also save them money.\nKeeping people happy and healthy\nIn the consumer space, there are a number of data-powered solutions which expertly demonstrate this end-to-end functionality and, as a result, have experienced significant mainstream adoption. Wearable technology is undoubtedly one of the biggest success stories. From smartwatches, to fitness trackers and intelligent clothing, innovation in the space is rampant and finding increasing ways to, not only collect data, but analyze it in a way that delivers pattern-based predictions.\nWithin healthcare, medical wearables now present colossal opportunities, as pools of smart data are being used to refine and improve treatments and predict clinical endpoints. As an example, a smart wristband developed by US firm Empatica, is able to accurately measure the onset of seizures and ultimately determine if and when an ambulance should be sent to someone\u2019s home.\nSelling Industry Data back to Industry\nAccording to Accenture, the Industrial Internet of Things has the potential to add $15 trillion to the global economy by 2030. However, within the industrial space, challenges in creating comprehensive solutions are significantly higher, not only due to the complexities involved in the design, testing and development phases, but also due to the cost and perceived challenges of implementing new technologies into major industrial operations. For these reasons, the majority of data-driven solutions being used within the industrial space commonly have a singular operational focus and therefore, the real and tangible cost benefits remain limited.\nIBM is the biggest player in the current big data race with 2015 revenues of $2.104bn. It is, however, anything but alone in the race. Innumerable other players are driving growing revenues through selling a combination of hardware, software and professional services all designed to leverage Big Data and help organizations make better decisions, be more secure and efficient and help them to understand exactly who they\u2019re dealing with and why their customers do what they do.\nSo, while there there will never be a one-size-fits-all big data solution able to instantly drive profits, the public\u2019s sustained interest in the possibilities that Big Data presents, will drive more and more companies to create increasingly refined and elegant solutions that address specific industry pain points. Whether that be through automating agricultural processes from seed planting to harvest, delivering fully self driving oil wells or leveraging data to rapidly accelerate scientific research, I see the path from implementation to return on investment becoming far shorter, far more quickly than many might think.\nImage: Eden, Janine and Jim\nTags:ambyintBig DataNav Dhunay\nHow An App Could Be The Key In Avoiding The Risks of Radiation\nHow Organizations Build Back-Ends for Big Data\nNav Dhunay is President & CEO of ambyint.

        "title": "The Right Aproach for a Prediabetes Diet",
        "raw_content": "Home Diabetes Treatment The Right Aproach for a Prediabetes Diet\nExperts warn that by 2050, one in every three adults may have diabetes type 2. Fortunately, prediabetes can be managed with the right prediabetes diet and exercises. Researchers from the John Hopkins University found that when used in combination to achieve a weight loss of at least 10% within the first year, prediabetes diets and exercises reduced the risk of developing diabetes type 2 by 85% within 3 years. The Diabetes Prevention Program has also estimated that losing around 15 pounds within the first year following diagnosis decreases one\u2019s risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 60% over 3 years.\nBut to properly understand how to shocking these statistics are, it\u2019s imperative to educate oneself on the damage diabetes causes. Long-term diabetes can cause, among other things, dramatic skin infections and limb loss. Individuals that deal with diabetes on a regular basis have a weakened immune system that fails to prevent common issues like bacteria buildup and infection. Diabetics are susceptible to yeast infections, skin growth, urinary tract infections, fungal accumulation and boils located on the skin. An extensive list of side effects associated with diabetes can be found below:\nInability to hear\nRestless sleep and insomnia\nCurrently, there are 79 million Americans who suffer from prediabetes \u2013 a condition, characterized by high blood sugar (glucose) levels, most often due to insulin resistance. People with prediabetes have heightened glucose levels that are yet not within the range of diabetes, but if left untreated, the condition can progress into type 2 diabetes. In fact, without treatment, it\u2019s estimated that around 15-30% of patients with prediabetes will go on to develop the condition within 5 years.\nWhat is the link between prediabetes diet and avoiding diabetes?\nSome of the factors that increase your risk for prediabetes are genetics, excess body fat and sedentary lifestyle. In prediabetes, blood glucose levels are elevated because insulin cannot move the sugar into the cells quickly enough. This leads to a build up of sugar or the so-called \u2018sugar spikes\u2019.\nCertain fat- and carbohydrate-rich foods make it even harder for your organism to process the sugar which can lead to dangerous blood sugar spikes. If you tend to overeat, the excess calories will be stored as fat which has been linked to greater risk of insulin resistance.\nWhat is the prediabetes diet?\nAdopting the right prediabetes diet can not only help you lose weight and feel better in your body but significantly decrease your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In its core, prediabetes diets consist of low-fat, low-calorie and high-fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and legumes rich in protein. On the other hand, to prevent overeating and weight gain, you should steer clear of artificial sugars and fats.\nGlycemic food index\nTo figure out which foods are suitable to treat prediabetes, you can use the Glycemic index as a guide. It ranks foods based on the rate at which they are processed by the organism and affect blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates, for instance, come in two types \u2013 some are digested slowly which leads to a more gradual increase in blood sugar; others are processed rapidly which creates the dangerous blood sugar spikes. Refer to the Glycemic index to find which carbohydrates you should avoid and which you can still incorporate into your prediabetes diet.\nAs a rule of thumb, foods with GI value of 55 or less will raise your blood sugar more slowly. You can also include foods with moderate GI index (between 55 and 70) in moderation but make sure to steer clear of foods that will rapidly increase your blood glucose levels (these will normally have a GI value of 70 or higher).\nFoods high in refined sugar and fats tend to have higher GIs as well. Whole wheat, cereals, and grains, on the other hand, have lower GIs compared to their white counterparts (white bread, white cereals, jasmine and long-grain rice). You should also remove white potatoes from your diet and instead, replace them with sweet potatoes, vegetables, and protein-packed legumes.\nYou can also incorporate pastas (ideally, whole-wheat) into your prediabetes diet. Because of the way their starches are bound, they tend to have low GI values and affect your blood sugar levels more slowly. Replace short-grain rice and jasmine rice with more prediabetes-friendly foods like parboiled rice, basmati rice and brown rice. To introduce some variety into your diet, you can also try vegetable noodles like udon.\nPrediabetes-friendly foods:\nSteel-cut oats (but not instant oatmeal)\nNon-starchy vegetables \u2013 carrots, field greens\nBeans, sweet potatoes, corn\nDecrease your portions\nBecause excess fat, especially in the belly area, increases your risk of developing diabetes type 2, you should also aim to decrease your portions. More often than not, people tend to overeat without even realizing it. Refer to food labels to determine how much you\u2019re eating, and strive to have a calorie intake lower than the number of calories you burn throughout the day. Also, practice mindful eating \u2013 only eat when you\u2019re hungry, eat slowly and stop when you\u2019re full, not when your plate is empty.\nGo for fiber-rich foods\nIt\u2019s a good idea to stock up on fiber-rich foods. They can help you feel fuller for longer periods of times; fiber also adds bulk to your diet and ensures more regular bowel movements. A good prediabetes diet should contain fiber-rich foods like beans and legumes, grains like quinoa and barley, whole grain cereals and pasta, and vegetables with edible skin, all of which can help you avoid diabetes.\nMake sure you don\u2019t avoid fatty foods altogether but switch to healthier alternatives. Olive oil, nuts, seeds, and avocado are all fantastic choices to add to your prediabetes diet. Make sure you stay away from full-fat dairy products and instead, switch to reduced-fat cheeses, non-fat or low-fat yogurts, and skimmed milk.\nAvoid sugary drinks and alcohol\nDoctors also recommend cutting down on your sugary drink consumption. A single 12oz can of soda can contain as much as 45 grams of carbohydrates, which is the maximum recommended amount for an adult woman. Sugary drinks like sweet tea, juices, sweetened lemonades and sweetened coffees (this includes mochas and lattes) won\u2019t help you feel full but will increase your risk for obesity at the same time.\nInstead, to treat prediabetes and prevent it from developing into full-blown type 2 diabetes, switch to water. Make sure you\u2019re well hydrated \u2013 often, people mistake thirst for hunger which can lead to overeating and weight gain. Make sure to drink alcohol in moderation, as many alcoholic drinks are dehydrating, and cocktails and sweet liqueurs can spike your glucose levels.\nFollow these tips and combine your prediabetes diet with moderate exercise to reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and enjoy a healthier lifestyle.\nThe Epidemic of Diabetes Explained\nUsing Arivale for the treatment of prediabetes\nTHIS SECTION MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS.

        "raw_content": "In mid-2017, the sniping community was rocked by incredible news: a Canadian sniper team operating in the Middle East had made a successful kill at a distance of more than two miles. The team, deployed to fight the Islamic State, killed an ISIS fighter at a distance of 3,871 yards. The shot was a record breaker and more than a thousand yards farther than the previous world record. The shot, which bordered on the impossible, was made only slightly less so by the skill of the snipers involved.\nOn June 22, 2017 the Globe and Mail [3] reported that two snipers assigned to Joint Task Force 2, Canada\u2019s elite special forces unit, had shot an Islamic State fighter in Iraq at a distance of 3,540 meters, or 3,871 yards. The sniper team was stationed on top of a highrise building when it took the shot, which took almost ten seconds to reach its target. The sniper and his spotter had used a McMillan TAC-50 .50 heavy caliber sniper rifle. According to the Globe and Mail, the kill was verified by video \u201cand other data.\u201d\nRecommended:The Colt Python: The Best Revolver Ever Made?[4]\nRecommended:Smith & Wesson 500: The Gun That Has As Much Firepower As a Rifle[5]\nRecommended:Smith & Wesson's .44 Magnum Revolver: Why You Should Fear the 'Dirty Harry' Gun[6]\nTo understand the complexity of the shot, it\u2019s best to start with a sniper maxim: sniping is weaponized math. Although a .50 caliber sniper rifle bullet can fly as far as five miles, a host of factors including gravity, wind speed and direction, altitude, barometric pressure, humidity and even the Coriolis Effect act upon the bullet as it travels. Even worse, these effects increase the farther the bullet travels. A successful sniper team operating at extreme distances must do its best to predict exactly how these factors will affect the bullet and calculate how to get the bullet back onto target.\nThe first and most influential factor on a bullet is gravity. A bullet begins to lose energy as soon as it leaves the muzzle of a gun, and as it loses energy it loses the ability to counteract gravity. The farther and slower a bullet flies, the more Earth\u2019s gravity will pull the bullet downward. This is known as \u201cbullet drop,\u201d and even the most powerful bullet, such as the .50 caliber round used by the TAC-50, will invariably experience it.\nIn most shooting shooting situations, bullet drop is only a matter of a few inches or more. The Canadian snipers, on the other hand, had to deal with a phenomenal amount of bullet drop: at 3,450 meters, the bullet would be expected to drop 6,705 inches! Ryan Cleckner, a former U.S. Army Ranger sniper and author [7] shows the ballistic data for the shot here [8]. As the bullet is traveling subsonic at a spend of 940 feet per second, the bullet is diving an average of nearly two inches per foot of forward travel, with the problem getting much worse as distance increases.\nIn order to make the shot the Canadian snipers had to counteract the staggering amount of drop. Being on a highrise building, or hilltop was a must. The rest of the drop correction had to be done within the rifle\u2019s scope, which can be adjusted for drop, and a scope mount that was angled upward for extreme long distance shooting.\nCleckner\u2019s data also provides other useful information. Bullet flight time, from the muzzle of the Canadian sniper\u2019s gun to target was just over seven seconds. The bullet was traveling at 940 feet per second when it hit, which means it slowed to below the speed of sound. Finally, after traveling more than two miles the bullet hit with 1,472 foot pounds of energy, greater than most M16 bullets at point blank range.\nAnother major factor that would have affected the shot was windage. When shooting at extreme distances, even a mild wind of five miles an hour will have an effect on the flight of a bullet, slowly but surely nudging it off its flight path toward the direction of the wind. At 400 yards, a .50 caliber bullet will be nudged 2.5 inches off its path by a five mile an hour wind. At 3,800 yards that balloons to an incredible 366 inches. In other words, the snipers had to assume their bullet would impact just over thirty feet in the direction of wind travel and plan accordingly.\nOther environmental factors played a hand in the shot. Air pressure (generally a function of altitude), temperature, and humidity are factors most shooters at ranges of 500 yards or less rarely encounter, become major issues at 3,800 meters. These factors are mitigated by the use of wind sensors, barometric pressure readers, and a knowledge of local weather conditions. To complicate matters, these conditions may change so that a shot taken on a cold morning will be much different in the heat of the afternoon and snipers must recalculate the shot accordingly.\nEarth itself, and the position of the shooter and target on the globe become factors at long range. The Coriolis Effect dictates that bullets shot in the northern hemisphere drift to the right, while those shot in the southern hemisphere drift to the left, and this phenomenon increases the farther one gets to the poles. Furthermore, shooting east with the rotation of the earth will cause bullets to strike high, while shooting west will cause the same bullet to strike low.\nEven the construction of the rifle itself affects the shot. A high quality barrel will naturally be more accurate and the rifle involved in the shot, the McMillan TAC-50 [9], is one of the best around. The barrel rifling, a spiral-like pattern that makes the bullet spin in flight, stabilizing it, imparts \u201cspin drift.\u201d According to Cleckner, a rifle with a right-hand spiral twist will send a bullet up to ten inches to the right at 1,000 yards. How much spin drift would affect the shot at 3,800 yards was essential information for the Canadian snipers.\nIn taking their record-breaking shot, the Canadian sniper team had to consider all of these factors\u2014merely misjudging one would have caused a clean miss\u2014and it is an incredible testament to their skill that they were successful. The average man-sized target is just twenty-four inches wide, leaving zero room for error in a two mile shot. The shot took place at the extreme edge of viability, given the current levels of sniper technology. While the JTF-2 shot will almost certainly be equalled, it seems unlikely it will be decisively beaten for the foreseeable future.\nKyle Mizokami is a defense and national security writer based in San Francisco who has appeared in the Diplomat, Foreign Policy, War is Boring and the Daily Beast.

        "raw_content": "Meltdowns and Moments\nThere\u2019s a lot of little boy in Char these days but his fading toddlerhood is grasping tightly and asserting itself. He\u2019s resisting a change that is as inevitable as it is terrifying as it is exciting. With every transition like this parts of him pass to history and parts of us do as well. While the resistance can be annoying, we all get it. We understand more than he knows. We abhor the idea of him being independent in all the ways we are diligently training him to be. We\u2019re at the \u2018finishing school\u2019 stage of toddlerdom. We are working to teach him courtesy, niceties, the expected behavior of polite society. As a conscientious objector to such responsibility he is reverting to earlier tools of resistance, such as crying, yelling, aggressively resisting direction, stamping feet and crying louder.\nThe kid is in an epic phase of melting down. He has the toddler equivalent of senioritis. He\u2019s resisting the change that he wants. Now that it\u2019s upon him he\u2019s freaking out. When I think of it this way I\u2019m able to have some more patience. He doesn\u2019t want to be acting this way either. He just is discovering that big parts of life are not controlled by him and he doesn\u2019t believe that the way life should be.\nHe\u2019s taken to hurting us to test the limits of his powers. To explore the darker side of life. He is fond of telling me my status in his eyes upon seeing me. \u201cI don\u2019t like you, daddy.\u2019 He\u2019s even said he hates us. He\u2019s four and we are the safe space to explore these things, so I tell him that that\u2019s fine, but that I\u2019m still the grown up and he has to obey me because I\u2019m in charge. I tell him that mommy and I and his teachers are in charge because we know how to keep him safe. To which he says, having heard who the hell knows what, \u2018but daddy, I don\u2019t like you.\u2019\nBut here\u2019s the thing, Charlie. In the way that you mean it, that I\u2019m doing something that makes you unhappy or uncomfortable, even though it\u2019s what must be done, in that exact same way, I don\u2019t like you right now. In fact, when I see you, changing into a boy, leaving behind most of your toddler ways, and for the final time putting down all of what was you as my precious little baby, I too don\u2019t like you for doing it. Were I as in tune and in touch with my emotions as you are, and lacking all of the niceties of adulthood, I\u2019d have an epic tear spewing meltdown too. I may not be thinking it when I\u2019m pulling my hair out trying to convince you to take your medicine or brush your teeth, but you are beginning the long walk away from me. You\u2019re simple need to grow up is chipping away at your need for me. And once you\u2019ve had that feeling, the feeling I still have for you, feelings that are ever so slightly less necessary with every tiny milestone you cross, I am sad and wistful. Sometimes I yell and shout and try desperately to hold on to every inch of my influence and necessity, because, and this is where I\u2019m with you my melting down boy, the second I was given that gift of being your daddy I\u2019ve treasured every difficult, painful, joyful, hysterical, maddening and delightful aspect of it and I know that I\u2019m never going to have any of it back. I\u2019m going to grow, and our relationship will morph into other things, but I\u2019m never going to rock you to sleep in a swaddle ever again. I\u2019m not going to change another one of your diapers. I won\u2019t be buying you stuffed animals at Thruway rest stops and delighting in catching you in the rear view mirror, snuggling your buddy until you fall asleep. More things will be added, but now begins the subtractions. You are growing up, and for that I\u2019m mad at you. Don\u2019t mistake me, I\u2019m proud of you, thrilled for you, impressed by you and awed by you and everything you do, even the tough and challenging stuff. Its just that I\u2019m also sad. And when I realize what that portends, I\u2019m even a little mad.\nBaby boy, Char\nLife is full of change and transitions and they often are as painful as they are exciting. This won\u2019t be the last time you are made uncomfortable by change. That\u2019s okay. The changes are okay and so is the discomfort. The discomfort and the resistance are signs that we continue to move through life, accepting challenges, some of our choosing and many that are thrust upon us. While it may not be pleasant all the time, change is the one constant. Everything changes all the time. Resisting the change, being uncomfortable and even angry at the change makes you human. Keep changing, keep resisting, keep fighting and keep crying. It\u2019s the road to where you\u2019re going. It\u2019s a road with beautiful and tragic changes and sometimes it\u2019s hard to know which is which until it\u2019s over. But keep changing, stay curious, keep that fire that so infuriates the people that fear the changes as much as you do and don\u2019t be afraid to be afraid. Without the changes and the fears and the failures you\u2019ll never get to where you\u2019re going. But once you get there, and for me that\u2019s here, with you and your brother and mommy, you\u2019ll appreciate every fall and every wrong turn that got you to precisely where you were meant to be.\nAuthor joejmedlerPosted on February 1, 2015 February 26, 2015 Categories UncategorizedTags blog, boys, essay, family, fatherhood, fathers and sons, fear, growing up, memoir, parenthood, parenting, personal essay, Toddlers, writing\n12 thoughts on \u201cMeltdowns and Moments\u201d\nOh Joe I can\u2019t stop crying right now!!!! Some much beauty and truth in your words. You described so eloquently the dance I\u2019m doing with my almost 4 year old. He pushes, I pull back and give him more independence. With his special needs we celebrate each victory he has with sleeping through the night, potty training, and using his words when he\u2019s angry then expressing himself with his teeth and fists. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful journey so eloquently. \ud83d\ude03\u2764\ufe0f\nThank you, so much. I don\u2019t know if you know this, but my entire adult life has been spent working with people with special needs. When I was a kid our first babysitter had an intellectual/developmental disability. Congratulations on your many successes\u2026. you have a lucky boy! And thank you so much for your continued kindnesses\u2026 Watching him need even this tiny bit less from us is a challenge, yet we know there\u2019s so much more ahead!\nYou\u2019re so welcome Joe! I didn\u2019t know that about you but I know why you were led to that role of being a mentor and teacher. It\u2019s your big, beautiful, giving heart. I\u2019m so glad our paths have crossed and I learn so much more about myself as a parent when I read your stories. \ud83d\ude0a\nReblogged this on jsack1's Blog and commented:\nI want to share this amazing Dad who writes so beautifully and eloquently. All his stories touch my heart, and tickle my funny bone but this one reached right down into my brokenness and lifted me up. Thank you Developing Dad for being my angel wings. \u2764\ufe0f\nbuttercuppieces2013 says:\nI remember those times. Its a challenge for everyone, you realize they are growing up, and developing their personality that they may keep until puberty. Crazy thing is, it isn\u2019t over either, they go through this again at that stage too, and that one is scarier than this, for both of you. So I feel for you because it\u2019s a mourning process almost, but in a good way, just challenging. Great post!\nI totally get that the next one is scarier. Of course it is\u2026 that\u2019s the one where real world consequences can destroy you. My mom has made reference to a conversation she had with a friend about my brother during his precarious early adulthood and she said, you can\u2019t know who they\u2019re going to be until they\u2019re 40.\nThat Shameless Hussy says:\nYour insight into this stuff continues to amaze me. Now, if you\u2019ll excuse me I have to go curl up on the floor of my kids empty rooms and cry myself into a coma\u2026.\nThank you. But I have to say, it all hits like a ton of bricks\u2026 feels less like insight and more like an existential fear of my own decay. Or something. Okay, off to the cry coma\u2026\nThere really is a mourning period for each phase of childhood, as our kids move on to the next. Not everyone is lucky enough to understand that as it\u2019s happening. You are blessed in recognizing each stage, and your kids are blessed because you will evolve into each new era of childhood as it happens:) Thank God they never really stop needing us:)\nIs it true? Do they never stop needing us? If so, I guess that\u2019s good since the need is definitely reciprocated!\n\u201cIn the way that you mean it, that I\u2019m doing something that makes you unhappy or uncomfortable, even though it\u2019s what must be done, in that exact same way, I don\u2019t like you right now.\u201d\nAnd much nicer than just saying, \u201cHoly swear word, kid! Did you have meth for breakfast? Are you turning into the Hulk? You\u2019re acting like a giant [redacted] today.\u201d\nThanks for helping me understand my newly-turned 4 year old better! He wants to move on up in the world, but he really still needs to get out his uncivilized, I muted emotions. \u201cFinishing school\u201d. I like that .\nPrevious Previous post: Our Second First Date\nNext Next post: Finding Compassion and Mourning Loss",

        "title": "Santa\u2019s BB Gun | DonSalyards.com",
        "raw_content": "\u2190 Equipment and Bob\nSnow Wars \u2192\nSanta\u2019s BB Gun\nOne December Day in 1956 I was poking around down in the basement of our family home in Casper, Wyoming. Inside a makeshift closet under the basement stairs I found a Daisy BB gun, exactly like the one that Santa was going to bring me for Christmas. Later that evening, after a discussion with my parents, I found out the truth about Santa Claus.\nIn a sense, when we find out there is no Santa Claus, our innocence is lost. An economic reality also asserts itself; namely that there isn\u2019t some jolly old elf that makes toys for free and delivers them to kids all over the earth. Alas, it takes parents and their hard earned money to buy toys. Scarcity asserts itself; human wants exceed resources. There is no free lunch.\nIt appears that not all adults have learned the Santa Claus lesson. They want to believe that someone, somehow, will spare them from economic reality. Let me illustrate a few cases.\n1) A man on a radio ad says that if you have more than $10,000 of credit card debt, his firm will call the credit card companies and get them to forgive most of your obligations. Of course, you will have to pay him an \u201cup front\u201d fee so he can get started.\n2) A fellow on television says that he will get the IRS off of your back. He\u2019s a tough guy with former IRS examiners on his staff. He knows the secrets of getting the IRS to reduce your back tax obligations by as much as 90%. Furthermore, he\u2019s not afraid of the IRS. Of course, there is an \u201cup front\u201d fee to get started.\n3) For folks who have difficulty making their mortgage payments, they can make a phone call and the special folks on the end of the line will negotiate with their lender and get them a \u201cmortgage adjustment\u201d which will drastically reduce their loan payments. There is an \u201cup front\u201d fee, of course.\nThose who are preyed upon by the hucksters above have put themselves into a bad financial condition. Desperate, they grasp at straws in the hope that \u201cSanta Claus\u201d will help. Most of the time, the \u201ccure\u201d is worse than the disease, putting these folks in an even worse financial condition. Eventually, reality asserts itself, causing much hardship and pain.\nLest we think we are better than foolish folks who are preyed upon by con artists, we might remember that \u201ccollectively\u201d when we go to the polls we also believe in Santa Claus. We routinely ask our congressmen or senators to balance the budget or cut government spending, except for the program or tax break that benefits us. What\u2019s a poor politician to do? Ironically, voters who act responsibly in their personal financial lives, go to the polls hoping that politicians are like Santa Claus.\nWe live in an era where individually and collectively we enjoy behaving irresponsibly but we don\u2019t want to accept the personal or national consequences of our actions. This Christmas it is time to wake up and smell the coffee. Bankruptcy, either personal or national, awaits us if we continue to spend money we don\u2019t have. Alas, there is no free lunch. The new box with Santa\u2019s BB gun inside is hidden in the closet under the stairs. On the box is a price tag from the Gimbles store!",

        "title": "New George R. R. Martin book released. \u2013 Dunedin Speculative Fiction",
        "raw_content": "George R.R. Martin has announced that he\u2019ll be releasing a new book in his A Song of Ice and Fire series this fall \u2014 sort of. No, it\u2019s not the long awaited The Winds of Winter, which promises to finally continue the saga that Martin begin back in 1996 and which fans have been waiting almost seven years to read. Rather, fans will be able to enjoy 640 pages of Fire and Blood, a collection of short stories that tell \u201cthe definitive history of the Targaryens in Westeros.\u201d\nFire and Blood is said to be the first of two planned volumes of these historical stories, which Martin has alluded to before in the main series of the books, as well as in his companion history, The World of Ice and Fire. But Fire and Blood, along with its unnamed sequel, promise a more in-depth look at the tale. According to Martin, volume one \u201ccovers all the Targaryen kings from Aegon I (the Conquerer) to the regency of Aegon III (the Dragonbane),\u201d while the rest will be coming in volume two somewhere down the line. (Martin promises that he\u2019ll get to it in a \u201cfew years,\u201d but take that with a grain of salt.)\nMartin has actually published portions of the upcoming book as standalone stories in various anthologies \u2014 The Princess and the Queen, The Rogue Prince, and The Sons of the Dragon, but Fire and Blood will mark the first time that those stories have been published in a single volume, along with plenty of new material that will continue to flesh out the history of the Targaryens, along with 80 black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley.\nUnlike the main A Song of Ice and Fire books, Fire and Blood is written as an in-universe history, purportedly written by the Archmaester Gyldayn of the Citadel, in a style that Martin\u2019s publisher describes as channeling the \u201cscope and grandeur of Gibbon\u2019s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,\u201d assuming that was something that you were looking for in your epic fantasy novels.\nAs someone who\u2019s read some of the previously published novellas, I can tell you that Martin has somehow achieved the almost impossible task of making a civil war between people with dragons seem dull, with dry prose that would fit right alongside Gibbon\u2019s famed work. Fortunately for everyone, though, not only has George R.R. Martin decided to expand this into a 640 page long book, but there\u2019s going to be TWO of them.\nAs for The Winds of Winter \u2014 which I will again remind you has been anticipated since A Dance with Dragons was published back in July 2011, a seven-year gap that has seen Martin publish a different collection of Game of Thrones novellas, a different fake Game of Thrones history book, and a fake atlas for Game of Thrones \u2014 you\u2019ll have to keep waiting, with Martin only commenting that \u201cNo, winter is not coming\u2026 not in 2018, at least.\u201d\nFire and Blood will be out on November 20th.\nPrevious Previous post: Lee Child in Dunedin\nNext Next post: Prize-nominated poet\u2019s debut cancelled as plagiarism accusations build",

        "title": "Easter |",
        "raw_content": "on easter, making sopes, and finishing the music\nGood morning. It is wonderful to be with you all, on this the fifth anniversary of our La Mision Easter celebration. Whether it is your first time with us, or your fifth, know that you are welcome here, that you belong here \u2013 that this is a place that is open to all people, of all faiths, or of no faith, where we are seeking to journey together along the spiritual path though we come from very different approaches to that.\nI have had people ask me how in the world do we have an Easter celebration that is so inclusive, that welcomes atheists and devout believers, that has those who have dedicated their lives to spiritual things and those who think that, to be honest, they are kind of a bunch of BS, those who are intrigued by the spiritual life and those who would rather just get on with living the life in front of them. It is, I grant you, an interesting mix. We are, of course, an eclectic community. For that I, for one, am incredibly thankful.\nI\u2019ve been thinking a lot about this gathering and it seems to me there is an important question that is sort of hanging in the air surrounding it \u2013 this Easter thing, which, of course, is a Christian feast day commemorating the crucifixion \u2013 crucifixion was a common death in the first century in the Roman empire. It was for criminals. When the man Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, the story says that it was with a thief, a terrorist even, on either side of him. It was a shameful, degrading way to die \u2013 reserved for those who were a threat to the system \u2013 and, more importantly, this day is a day commemorating the resurrection, the somehow living beyond death of a man, named Jesus of Nazareth, who walked this earth and through his resurrection became the living Christ.\nIt can be a crazy thing to get one\u2019s head around.\nFor some, it is accepted without question \u2013 it is a matter of faith. Done. For others, it seems like a fairy story that asks one to check their brains at the door. We are both in this room.\nSo, I wonder, if just for a moment, we can all \u2013 those who accept this and those who think it is a bit too crazy to actually believe \u2013 I wonder if we might let go of, for the moment, the question \u2018Did it happen?\u2019 Did it actually happen? Did a man who was dead come back to life? What did that look like? Did Jesus actually walk out of the tomb where his dead body had been laid? Was the resurrection a flash of light? Is this meant more as metaphor?\nThey are good questions. They are important questions. They are questions that have been the cause of much wrestling by people who have dedicated their lives to such wondering \u2013 and they still don\u2019t agree, they still don\u2019t know, definitively, one way or another what actually happened \u2013 there were no video cameras, no iPhones there to capture the moment. Only the stories of those who experienced it, passed down through generations.\nSo I wonder if, just for this moment, we might set aside the question \u2018did it happen?\u2019 and wonder together instead, \u2018does it happen?\u2019\nIt is, as I mentioned, the 5th anniversary of our Easter service. But it just so happens that it is another very important anniversary, which is less well known, but, if you ask me, also very important.\nIt is the fifth anniversary of the first time I ever ate sopes.\nIt was on Easter evening, five years ago, that I had my first taste of a sope \u2013 made by Vita. It was delicious! I fell in love immediately. I had to know how to make them for myself.\nSo, not long after that first sope experience, I invited Vita over, and some of you, my neighbors, to make sopes. I have to admit \u2013 my first attempts, well, they were less than ideal. Some were too small, some were too thin, others were too thick \u2013 if you watch Vita make them, each sope is identical, perfectly shaped, perfect thickness \u2013 a work of art, really. Mine were something more like play dough thrown against the wall.\nFor in making sopes there is both the consistency of the dough that has to be just right \u2013 not too much water or they will fall apart, mostly masa, but a little bit of flour, and then work them together into a consistency that will not crumble but is also not too mushy.\nIn the five years since I\u2019d like to say that I\u2019ve perfected the sope making \u2013 but the reality is, Vita\u2019s are still more precise, more perfect than mine. I\u2019m guessing she\u2019s had more than five years of practice at it.\nBut that hasn\u2019t stopped me. We\u2019ve had many a sope night at my house \u2013 when friends from the US come to visit I make sure that they are in the kitchen at least one of their nights, learning how to roll the balls of dough, flatten them, make the ridges around them, and then delight in tasting them. I\u2019ve modified the traditional sope somewhat \u2013 making vegetarian sopes with a potato filling instead of meat, or using whatever I happen to have on hand for the fillings.\nAs I thought about it, I realized, making sopes is a lot like Easter. It\u2019s a lot like this gathering here.\nThat first Easter as we gathered downstairs here in Kathleen\u2019s house we were led by Gary Wilburn \u2013 a man many of you had the privilege of knowing. Gary was a retired Presbyterian minister. Retired not because he was tired of being a minister or ready to be done with it, but because he had been diagnosed with ALS. He and Bev made the decision to live full time in what had previously been their vacation home here on the beach in La Mision. As their first Easter approached, they wondered what they might do \u2013 were they to do nothing? It did not seem right. Easter, after all, is arguably the biggest day in the Christian year.\nBut it just so happened that there was a bit of a minister match maker in the midst \u2013 Marty Harriman, who introduced me to Bev and Gary and next thing you knew, we were planning and then hosting our first La Mision Easter service. What a gift that was in so many ways.\nYou might think that because I\u2019m a minister I remember sermons all the time \u2013 I don\u2019t. Sometimes, sure. But most often, nope. But I remember Gary\u2019s sermon from that day. It was called \u2018Finishing the Music.\u2019 In it he told the story of Puccini, the great musician who wrote Madame Butterfly, La Boehme, and so many other majestic operas, and who was stricken with cancer in 1922. So what did he do? He sat down to write a new opera. His students asked him, \u201cBut suppose you die?\u201d \u201cOh,\u201d he replied confidently, \u201cnever fear. YOU will finish it!\u201d\nPuccini did die\u2026and as he predicted, his students did finish his music. The premier of the great opera, was held at La Scala Opera House under the direction of Puccini\u2019s best student \u2013 Arturo Toscanini.\nThe performance proceeded and came to that point in the music where the composer had finally laid down his pen. Tears streamed down Toscanini\u2019s face. He put down his baton and turned to the audience and said, \u201cThus far, the master wrote\u2026and then the master died.\u201d\nThen, picking up his baton, his face wreathed with smiles and determination, Toscanini shouted to the audience, \u201cBUT HIS DISCIPLES FINISHED HIS MUSIC!\u201d And they played on through the grand finale.\nSo shall you and I play on, said Gary, as he finished that sermon on that first Easter celebration. He concluded it with an Amen. There was not a dry eye in the room.\nIt is said that Jesus, toward the end of his life, told his disciples, his friends, \u201cYou will do far greater things than these.\u201d A bit crazy, if you think of it, as the story up to that point has us learning that Jesus had not only restored sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, multiplied loaves to feed five thousand, and healed all sorts of disease and sickness. You will do far greater things than these, he said to his friends, his followers. Really?\nEarlier in the week some of us gathered for a Passover celebration \u2013 Pesach, as Ron has instructed me \u2013 the Hebrew way of saying Passover. As we sat down to begin the reading of the Haggadah, the Passover story that is read every year, re-telling the story of exodus, of liberation from captivity, Ron shared with us an important, an essential, part of this re-telling of the Passover story \u2013 when we read it, we are not reading a story about an event that happened way back when, to some other people. No, as we read it, it is our story, we are the ones who have been liberated from that which binds us, we are the ones who have been set free, who have crossed from death to life \u2013 it is our story.\nWe are, if you like, not just those who would eat sopes one time five years ago \u2013 we are those who are ourselves learning how to make sopes, and then sharing that feast with others.\nIn the Jewish tradition, as in the Christian tradition, we are called to be as the phrase tikkun olam puts it, repairers of the world \u2013 actively involved in sowing love, justice, peace, and joy.\nSo today, on this day where we celebrate resurrection \u2013 new life \u2013 that death does not have the final word, that the systems of power and domination do not have the final say, I wonder what would happen if we were to ask ourselves, not, did it happen, as if the only importance were the historical validity of a particular event two thousand years ago, but does it happen?\nAre people set free from their bondage? From their addictions? From the things that weigh us down, that threaten our very ability to carry on? Is hospitality practiced amongst us? Are those who have much sharing out of their abundance with those who have less? Is life being lived in the now, in the present, awake to the moment, and to its fullness? Are we growing in love, in compassion, in service to one another?\nFor, of course, it is we who will finish the music. We who are, even now, here in this place, continuing the music. Even as we gather here today.\nSo shall you and I play on. Amen.\nTagged did it happen, Easter, finishing the music, la mision easter celebration, or does it happen?, sopes\nbreaking the bread of happiness\nThe story of this Easter Day that we read this morning, from the gospel of John, is actually one of four accounts, in the Bible, that tell the story. Each account tells a slightly different version of the story\u2013not unlike La Mision, where everyone has their own twist on the chisme of the day!\nPart of what I love about this story is that, in it, Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus\u2019 closest companions, upon encountering him, doesn\u2019t even know who he is. She thinks he is the gardener, of all things! I love it. Was he wearing his cut offs and black rubber boots? Is that why she thought he was the gardener?\nGranted, to her credit, she did not expect to see Jesus walking around. She was looking for a dead guy, who was supposed to be in that garden tomb, behind a big rock. So, we can cut her a little slack that she didn\u2019t, right off the bat, realize that it was Jesus that she was talking to.\nIn fact, even when he spoke to her, she still didn\u2019t recognize him. He wasn\u2019t what she was expecting.\n\u201cWoman, why are you crying?\u201d he asked her. She heard his voice. But it was not until he called her by name, \u201cMary,\u201d that her eyes were opened and that she could see that somehow, miraculously, it was actually Jesus standing there before her.\nLast week I came back from Thailand. It was a long flight. I flew through Tokyo, on Al Nippon airlines. It just so happened that one of the movies that was playing was a Japanese film called Bread of Happiness.\nBread of Happiness is a story of a husband and wife who move from the big city of Tokyo to a remote rural area, really nowhere in particular, not necessarily a destination itself, but somewhere with a bus stop\u2013a place that is more on the way to somewhere else than a place to head for its own sake.\nThe wife, Rie, has always dreamed of her soulmate\u2013the perfect companion with whom to share her life, her dreams, her hopes for the future. But, instead, she\u2019s got her husband, Sang. It is not that they are unhappy\u2013but it is just not the dream that Rie had been imagining. It wasn\u2019t the life she was expecting.\nThere, somewhat in the middle of nowhere, they open a cafe\u2013a cafe in which, each day, each season, Sang bakes bread\u2013a different type of bread, based on the season. As the two begin to carve out this life together, people seem to find their way to the cafe\u2013a woman who has been dumped by her boyfriend, an elderly couple who plan to go there to die, a young girl who has lost her mom\u2013and in the midst of the sharing of bread together, and the hospitality of Rie and Sang, the bread that is broken together begins to heal the brokenness of their lives.\nToward the end of the movie\u2013and it was a long flight, I should have been sleeping, and was sort of on the verge of it\u2013all of a sudden I had to rewind it, as a phrase (in the subtitles, of course\u2013I\u2019m not yet fluent in Japanese) caught my attention.\nIt was almost said in passing between the characters, but it struck me by its simple depth\u2013companion, as it turns out, literally in the origin of the word, means those who share bread together. Really? I had never heard that. I had no idea that is what the word meant. Companion. Those who share bread together.\nFor, though Rie did not find her \u2018soulmate,\u2019 what she did find, in the kneading of their lives together, in the sharing of the bread, was that Sang had become her companion.\nToday is Easter. It\u2019s a big day. One of the two biggest days, in the Christian calendar. It\u2019s a holiday. A big celebration. And that is fantastic, something to be celebrated and enjoyed.\nBut I began to think, as I pondered the Bread of Happiness and Mary thinking Jesus was the gardener, if resurrection, new life, is not also played out in the unexpectedly ordinary\u2013in the day to day, sharing of bread with one another, in a place that is really here nor there, but somewhere along the journey? Being companions to one another, breaking bread together, and in the midst of that breaking, finding that our own brokenness is being kneaded together as well?\nRecently I saw an article posted on facebook. It was called \u2018The Brain on Love,\u2019 from the NY Times. A line from it caused me to pause:\nIn the end, what we pay the most attention to defines us. How you choose to spend the irreplaceable hours of your life literally transforms you.\nWhat we pay the most attention to, defines us, literally transforms us.\nSo, on this Easter Sunday, let us celebrate the big moments of new life, rebirth, and resurrection. But let us also go into the world, into the ordinary moments, as companions, those who break bread with one another, and share that bread with the world.\nPosted in essay, musing, sermon, travel\nTagged Bread of Happiness, breaking bread, companion, Easter, gardener, japanese film, Mary Magdalene, story of easter\nCuaresma:\nthe labyrinth at Serra Retreat Center, Malibu\nToday, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of the Christian season of Lent (in Spanish, Cuaresma), the season of penitence and preparation leading up to Easter.\nThe 40* days (thus the word, cuaresma in Spanish, cuarenta meaning forty) are symbolic of the story of Jesus, after being baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan river, being sent out (literally driven out) into the wilderness where, according to the story in Mark 1, he was tempted by Satan and with the wild beasts.\nTraditionally Lent has been a time where followers of Jesus \u2018give up\u2019 something in order to identify with Jesus\u2019 time fasting in the wilderness.\nSome people argue that giving up something (such as chocolate or sweets), if it really is just for the motive of going on a diet or losing weight, does not really \u2018count.\u2019 The point, they say, is to do something sacrificial, for which you don\u2019t receive a \u2018reward.\u2019 Of course there is truth in this, but if you manage to go 40 days (which is really 45 with the Sundays included) without eating sugar or chocolate or alcohol, is pretty sacrificial, at least to your tasted buds!\nBut what if, rather than seeing Lent as a time to add another item to our list of things to do (or not do), we were to see it as a time of intentionality, of preparation, and of emptying ourselves? What if it were a time to be mindful\u2013of how we spend our time, our money, and of what we consume, both into our bodies as well as with our credit cards? Would this \u2018count\u2019 as a Lenten practice?\nI\u2019ve never really tried to whole-heartedly embrace Lent. Sure, I\u2019ve flirted with giving up chocolate or sweets as a teenager, have tried \u2018adding something good (like service to others)\u2019 instead of giving something up (I didn\u2019t really follow through on that one), and have even had a Lenten practice of going around the world (I\u2019m not sure how that fits with Jesus fasting in the wilderness).\nBut this year I\u2019m going to try it. I\u2019m going to try to be present, to be mindful, and to seek ways of making space (emptying?) in my life to pay attention. We\u2019ll see where it leads.\n*The number 40 is also significant in the Hebrew Scriptures (what Christians often call the Old Testament) as the number of days Moses spent on top of Mt. Sinai receiving the 10 commandments, the number of days of rain for Noah\u2019s ark, the number of years the people of Israel wandered in the desert before reaching the promised land.\nTagged 40 days, Ash Wednesday, Cuaresma, Easter, giving up, labyrinth, Lent, penitence\nOutrageous Hope\nHappy Easter from Mexico!\nJust wanted to give a quick update\u2026I\u2019m back in the country, well, on the continent. I got back late Thursday night, spent Friday unpacking, doing laundry and re-packing in order to drive down to Mexico on Saturday.\nYou may remember (though I don\u2019t blame you if you don\u2019t\u2014I can barely keep track of my life, and it\u2019s mine!) that last Easter I told a story of meeting Gary Wilburn, a retired Presbyterian minister, who is living here in La Mision where my family has had a house since my grandparents built it some 50 years ago. Gary and I have both mutual friends, we came to find out, but have also quite mutual paths\u2014Princeton Seminary, St. Andrews Scotland, Bel Air Presbyterian Church and Immanuel Presbyterian Church in LA, to name a few. Gary and his wife Bev moved down here to Mexico full time after finding out that he had ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease.\nGary and I met last year on Palm Sunday, and a week later, on Easter, hosted a La Mision Easter celebration service and pot luck. In December we hosted a Christmas celebration as well, for a mixed group of Spanish and English speakers, Mexicans and Americans, all part of the community here.\nAt one point not long after we met last year\u2014I think we were at Tuesday Taco Night at La Fonda Restaurant, Gary looked at me and said, \u201cYou could have been Lutheran!\u201d to which I replied, \u201cYou could have been Pentecostal!\u201d Meaning\u2026of all the situations, how crazy is it that he, a retired Presbyterian minister and me, a\u2026hmm, not sure what to call myself!, would both end up being here in a fairly small community.\nThat\u2019s all the back story.\nGary preaches to the La Mision Easter service\nThe update is, I had the great privilege to again, this morning, help put together and host an Easter service for the community here. Gary, with the help of a small microphone which helps him speak (his breathing has become very difficult and he spends much time on oxygen and is pretty much always in a wheel chair now) was able to preach. Other members of the community helped with readings, prayers, reflections and a benediction. We sang to Cat Stevens\u2019 \u201cMorning Has Broken\u201d and Judy Collins\u2019 \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d and even had an impromptu round of \u201cHe\u2019s Got the Whole World in His Hands.\u201d I\u2019ve heard plenty of sermons in my day, and now even preached quite a few, and I\u2019ll tell you, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever experienced such attentiveness to a sermon as I did this morning.\nHere\u2019s just one excerpt from the sermon, entitled \u2018Outrageous Hope\u2019 : \u201cI\u2019ve got to tell you\u2014time is not on my side, but hope is\u2026Having hope doesn\u2019t change anything\u2014it makes us want to change it.\u201d\nI recently had the opportunity to write an article about Gary for the Presbyterian News Service. It\u2019s entitled Lots of Hope, which is the title to Gary\u2019s newly released book. You can also see pictures from the service as well.\nPeace to you this Easter.\nTagged ALS, Baja, Bel Air Presbyterian Church, Easter, Gary Wilburn, Immanuel Presbyterian Church, La Fonda Hotel, La Mision, Lots of Hope, Mexico, outrageous hope, Princeton Seminary\nSaludos (greetings) from Mexico,\nDo you ever have a story to tell that you can\u2019t figure out where to start? Let\u2019s just hope I can figure out how to end it!\nAt the moment I\u2019m in La Mision (Miss-ee-own), Baja California, about 40 miles south of the border. I\u2019m here to teach a photography class. I\u2019ve been coming to La Mision my entire life (my grandma used to live here) but for most of that time just came down to the house or went to the beach, without really getting to know the surrounding Mexican community. It occurred to me that I have been teaching photography to teenagers in LA and in Ecuador (www.photopiece.org for more info) so why not do a class here in La Mision as a way of building bridges and relationships? I pitched the idea to Marty Harriman (who has also been coming here her entire life and whose parents knew my grandma) and before I knew it we had the students and the sponsors for the first ever La Mision Photopiece. We\u2019re now in week 3 of the class. We hope to have an exhibit at a local fiesta over Memorial Day Weekend (consider yourselves invited!).\nIn the course of planning for class a couple of weeks ago, Marty happened to mention a book that she was reading, written by a retired Presbyterian minister, who happens to live here in La Mision. I had never met him or heard of him, but the book sounded interesting.\nThe following week I happened to be talking with one of the staff in my own presbytery and mentioned that I would be in La Mision. \u201cI know someone who lives in La Mision,\u201d he said, and of course, it was that very same retired Presbyterian minister! Turns out this same man had worked at Bel Air Presbyterian Church, where I worked right after college, and also at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church, which is where we teach the photography classes in LA. Oh yeah, he also went to Princeton Seminary and spent time in St. Andrew\u2019s, Scotland! He and his wife recently moved here full time (from Connecticut) after he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease.\nSo, last weekend Marty Harriman arranged for us to meet and this weekend he and I will be leading an impromptu Easter service together! As my dad used to quote from the A-Team, \u201cI love it when a plan comes together.\u201d The service will be on the beach at 10:30AM (complete with a Karaoke machine to amplify the sermon) to be followed by a brunch pot-luck. Feel free to join us if you find yourself in the neighborhood!\nI don\u2019t have a phone or internet here at the house. So, in order to send this out I have to climb under my neighbor\u2019s porch to get to their patio to pick up their wireless signal (not quite the pony express) so I might as well bring it to a close and start that process.\nFeliz Pasqua y hasta luego.\nTagged Baja, Easter, Gary Wilburn, La Mision, Mexico, photography, Presbyterian, story",

        "raw_content": "The Nature show at Allied Arts\nThese sunny days coincide with the final few days of the show at Allied Arts of Whatcom County. I\u2019m just a wee bit late in making this blog post, but I\u2019ve been very busy getting books ready for the official signing of the soft cover edition of The Moon\u2019s Answer, a poem by Lana Ayers, which will happen at the end of this month. All one hundred of the soft covers are completed. I\u2019m still working on the hard covers.\nThe Moon\u2019s Answer soft cover edition, standing on a small pile of handmade papers.\nBut there are three other handmade books of mine to view at Allied Arts. Plus, the beautiful artwork of my good friend Nancy Canyon, and two other excellent artists. I really enjoyed this show titled \u201cNature,\u201d and hope you have time, too, before it comes down next Monday.\nThe first is a small casebound hard cover, called Journal of small things.\nJournal of small things is a case-bound book with a place to put small things in a little pocket in the back of the book.\nThe title is embossed with silver onto a mat, which was glued onto a piece of marbled paper. The book is covered in paper made using seaweed from the Pacific Ocean\u2014There\u2019s nothing like the Pacific to make you understand smallness. Well, maybe the universe.\nBut the book contains handmade paper, and along its spine rough beads dangle from knotted cords. The pocket in the back is ample enough to contain several tiny things one might find while wandering along a beach.\nAnother book that is on display in the gallery is titled Shadows We Leave Behind. It is a truncated tale told in sporadic language by the dogwood petals and their impressions from the young, single tree that grows outside the window of the frame shop here.\nThe cover is embossed with a double title, one with and one without a silver lining. A word or two are hand-printed on every page of petals. Each page contains one to three petals, and their embossed \u201cshadows.\u201d The book is bound with a version of the Japanese stab binding. This is the first paper I made that was dyed with Indian plums, which, as you know, is one of the very first flowers to bloom in spring. Poets here have written almost as many Indian plum poems as heron poems. [Joke! But nearly true as well.] It\u2019s a wonderful plant.\nThere\u2019s also another book on display, but I\u2019m running out of time, and want to post this as soon as I can. I may update this later, if I can. But the other book is titled Journal of the Future and Back, with the rich brown of late blackberries in the dye for the pond algae on the cover.\nI\u2019ll make another posting of the process used for making the editions of the handmade books for The Moon\u2019s Answer in the near future, hopefully. It\u2019s been quite the process, and a lot of fun. Meanwhile, I continue to gain experience in paper-making, bookmaking, natural dying, printing, drawing, and much, much more.",

        "raw_content": "Recomposed: Anglophone Presences of Classical Literature\nSpecial Issue Editor: Paschalis Nikolaou\n(Synthesis 12.2019)\nWhile works like Agamemnon or the Metamorphoses are part of a different (moral) universe, they are also considered as a global inheritance and their restatement or appropriation across languages occurs either through established paths of interlinguistic transfer or through varied modes of reference and increasingly intersemiotic retellings. These works have enabled us to enunciate constants of human behavior, selves and societies, and to establish connections across time.\nIn an Anglophone context, the (re)uses of drama and poetry from Greek and Roman antiquity have been insistent, not least in the ways Anglo-Saxon cultures and political actors, as early as Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Age, often (mis)read themselves as successors to the philosophies embedded in texts such as the Iliad. Editors\u2019 and publishers\u2019 strategies have also informed the reception of the classics: from the serialized appearance of Chapman\u2019s and Logue\u2019s Homer to Ted Hughes\u2019s classical translations as the first section in the posthumously published Selected Translations, such practices suggest interesting shifts in how this material is p(r)ossesed.\nIn the twentieth century, literary movements and groups have deployed classical texts as catalysts for change; from Pound\u2019s Homage to Sextus Propertius to Ted Hughes\u2019s The Oresteia, the limits and possibilities of translation are integral to the poetic process and to a poet\u2019s body of work. Others return to the classics also in response to recent geopolitical events (for instance, Slavoj Zizek\u2019s Antigone in 2015; Seamus Heaney\u2019s translation of Sophocles\u2019s tragedy as The Burial at Thebes in the middle of the War in Iraq in 2004). Poets like Alice Oswald offer radical versions of classical works (her Memorial of 2011), and often feature treatments of ancient myth in their collections (for instance, Orpheus or Tithonus within Falling Awake, 2016). Experiment with hybrid textualities in the work of someone like Josephine Balmer enunciates a modern consciousness in classical surroundings, or situates classical thought in the present. Moreover, in the present day, cover design and font selection (for instance, the use of photography and covers suggestive of modern warfare in Stanley Lombardo\u2019s translations of Homer and Virgil), as well as instances of intersemiotic or transmedial approaches, for instance Anne Carson\u2019s forays into graphic novel territory with Antigo Nick (2012) or web-based, digital configurations of ancient texts, significantly affect the reception of the classics.\nIn multiple ways then, classical writing inflects contemporary discourse at the same time as new forms and an increasingly visual culture re-encounter and propose, through these familiar texts and classical scenes, new relationships between image and text. Given the wealth of such (re)transmissions of literary expression, the special issue Recomposed: Anglophone Presences of Classical Literature invites contributions that address (inter)textual and sociocultural relations, as well as developments before and after figures such as Pound; the current status of both the classics and classical translation within Anglophone literary systems, also in terms of themes and characters; publication or performance contexts; case studies of textual permutation.\nOther possible topics include, but are not restricted to, the following:\nFragments of classical texts within modernist poetry (The Waste Land, The Cantos etc)\nChanging practices in translating, and in presenting the translations of classical texts\nRetranslation as a means of adjusting to cultural currents, global events, ideological and political shifts\nEmbeddings and refractions of classical literature in Shakespeare\u2019s plays\nShifts in the content, scale and significance of paratextual material, and connections to ways of viewing and/or theorizing translation, from John Dryden to Josephine Balmer\nThe role of (series) editors, and publishers in the dissemination of classical texts (Loeb Classics, Penguin)\nVisual components and their role\u2013for instance in intensifying anachronisms\u2013across (re)imaginings of classical literature for the screen or the stage\nContemporary meeting points of classical translation, theatrical translation and adaptation (e.g. Simon Armitage\u2019s The Story of the Iliad)\nClassical literature in the subcontinent, Canada and across former British colonies\nAbstracts of 300 words should be submitted to Paschalis Nikolaou at nikolaou@ionio.gr by 20 January 2019.\nNotification of acceptance will be delivered by 15 February 2019.\nAccepted articles should be submitted by 15 July 2019.\nArticles should be 6,000-7,000 words long and include a short biography of no more than 300 words.\nAll inquiries regarding this issue should be sent to the guest editor, Paschalis Nikolaou, at the above email address.",

On lap 16, Jeff Burton and Casey Mears, who had had a previous incident in an earlier practice session, made contact, spinning Burton out and bringing out the caution.[5] By the time the green flag was waved again on lap 21, Jeff Gordon had assumed the lead.[5] Gordon continued to lead until lap 33, when he was passed by Stewart who led the race until the caution came back out for debris. Most of the leaders came to pit road; however, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. did not, and thus took the lead from Stewart.[5] Stewart would not lead again until lap 111, when he took the lead from Matt Kenseth.[5] On lap 148, Jimmie Johnson and Bobby Labonte crashed, ending Labonte's race.[5] Said stayed out of the pits on lap 150, giving him the lead. With six laps remaining, Gordon was involved in a crash with Greg Biffle, J.J. Yeley, and Mark Martin, bringing out the caution for the final time.[5] Said led the field back to the green flag with three laps remaining, but was passed by Stewart on the next lap. Stewart would subsequently win the race, his second consecutive Pepsi 400 win after winning the race in 2005 as well.[5]\n1 2 20 Tony Stewart Joe Gibbs Racing Chevrolet\n2 14 5 Kyle Busch Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet\n3 16 2 Kurt Busch Penske Racing Dodge\n4 1 60 Boris Said No Fear Racing Ford\n5 10 17 Matt Kenseth Roush Racing Ford\n6 13 38 Elliott Sadler Robert Yates Racing Ford\n7 40 42 Casey Mears Chip Ganassi Racing Dodge\n8 26 26 Jamie McMurray Roush Racing Ford\n9 32 29 Kevin Harvick Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet\n10 30 07 Clint Bowyer Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet\n11 23 12 Ryan Newman Penske Racing Dodge\n12 31 21 Ken Schrader Wood Brothers Racing Ford\n13 35 8 Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Dale Earnhardt, Inc.

        "raw_content": "For other uses, see Dreadnought (disambiguation).\nThe Royal Navy's revolutionary and eponymous HMS Dreadnought, the world's first\nThe dreadnought was the predominant type of battleship in the early 20th century. The first of its kind, the Royal Navy's Dreadnought made such a strong impression on people's minds when launched in 1906 that similar battleships built subsequently were referred to generically as \"dreadnoughts\", and earlier battleships became known as \"pre-dreadnoughts\". Dreadnought's design had two revolutionary features: an \"all-big-gun\" armament scheme, with more heavy-calibre guns than previous ships, and steam turbine propulsion.[a] As dreadnoughts became a symbol of national power, the arrival of these new warships was a crucial catalyst in the intensifying naval arms race between the United Kingdom and Germany. With the launch of a single ship, Dreadnought, the scales of naval power were reset overnight. As a result, dreadnought races sprang up around the world, including in South America, during the lead up to World War I. Successive designs increased rapidly in size and made use of improvements in armament, armour, and propulsion throughout the dreadnought era. Within five years, new battleships had outclassed Dreadnought. These more powerful vessels were known as \"super-dreadnoughts\". Most of the original dreadnoughts were scrapped after the end of World War I under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, but many of the newer super-dreadnoughts continued to be used throughout World War II. The only surviving dreadnought is USS Texas, located near the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site.[1]\nDreadnought-building consumed vast resources in the early 20th century, but there was only one battle between large dreadnought fleets. In the 1916 Battle of Jutland, the British and German navies clashed with no decisive result. The term \"dreadnought\" gradually dropped from use after World War I, especially after the Washington Naval Treaty, as virtually all remaining battleships shared dreadnought characteristics; the term can also be used to describe battlecruisers, the other type of ship resulting from the dreadnought revolution.[2][3]\nThe distinctive all-big-gun armament of the dreadnought was developed in the first years of the 20th century as navies sought to increase the range and power of the armament of their battleships. The typical battleship of the 1890s, now known as the \"pre-dreadnought\", had a main armament of four heavy guns of 12-inch (305 mm) calibre, a secondary armament of six to eighteen quick-firing guns of between 4.7 inches (119 mm) and 7.5 inches (191 mm) calibre, and other smaller weapons. This was in keeping with the prevailing theory of naval combat that battles would initially be fought at some distance, but the ships would then approach to close range for the final blows, when the shorter-range, faster-firing guns would prove most useful. Some designs had an intermediate battery of 8-inch (203 mm) guns. Serious proposals for an all-big-gun armament were circulated in several countries by 1903.[4]\nAll-big-gun designs commenced almost simultaneously in three navies. In 1904, the Imperial Japanese Navy authorized construction of Satsuma, originally designed with twelve 12-inch (305 mm) guns. Work began on her construction in May 1905.[5][6] The Royal Navy began the design of HMS Dreadnought in January 1905, and she was laid down in October of the same year.[7] Finally, the US Navy gained authorization for USS Michigan, carrying eight 12-inch guns, in March 1905,[7] with construction commencing in December 1906.[8]\nThe move to all-big-gun designs was accomplished because a uniform, heavy-calibre armament offered advantages in both firepower and fire control, and the Russo-Japanese War of 1904\u20131905 showed that naval battles could, and likely would, be fought at long distances. The newest 12-inch (305 mm) guns had longer range and fired heavier shells than a gun of 10-inch (254 mm) or 9.2-inch (234 mm) calibre.[9] Another possible advantage was fire control; at long ranges guns were aimed by observing the splashes caused by shells fired in salvoes, and it was difficult to interpret different splashes caused by different calibres of gun. There is still debate as to whether this feature was important.[10]\nLong-range gunneryEdit\nIn naval battles of the 1890s the decisive weapon was the medium-calibre, typically 6-inch (152 mm), quick-firing gun firing at relatively short range; at the Battle of the Yalu River in 1894, the victorious Japanese did not commence firing until the range had closed to 3,900 metres (4,300 yd) and most of the fighting occurred at 2,000 metres (2,200 yd).[11] At these ranges, lighter guns had good accuracy, and their high rate of fire delivered high volumes of ordnance on the target, known as the \"hail of fire\". Naval gunnery was too inaccurate to hit targets at a longer range.[b]\nBy the early 20th century, British and American admirals expected future battleships would engage at longer distances. Newer models of torpedo had longer ranges.[12] For instance, in 1903, the US Navy ordered a design of torpedo effective to 4,000 yards (3,700 m).[13] Both British and American admirals concluded that they needed to engage the enemy at longer ranges.[13][14] In 1900, Admiral Sir John \"Jackie\" Fisher, commanding the Royal Navy Mediterranean Fleet, ordered gunnery practice with 6-inch guns at 6,000 yards (5,500 m).[14] By 1904 the US Naval War College was considering the effects on battleship tactics of torpedoes with a range of 7,000 yards (6,400 m) to 8,000 yards (7,300 m).[13]\nThe range of light and medium-calibre guns was limited, and accuracy declined badly at longer range.[c] At longer ranges the advantage of a high rate of fire decreased; accurate shooting depended on spotting the shell-splashes of the previous salvo, which limited the optimum rate of fire.[4]\nOn 10 August 1904 the Imperial Russian Navy and the Imperial Japanese Navy had one of the longest-range gunnery duels to date \u2013 over 13km (8 miles) \u2013 during the Battle of the Yellow Sea.[15] The Russian battleships were equipped with Liuzhol range finders with an effective range of 4km (4400 yards) and the Japanese ships had Barr & Stroud range finders that reached out to 6km (6550 yards), but both sides still managed to hit each other with 12-inch (305 mm) main battery fire at 13km.[16] Naval architects and strategists around the world took notice.\nAll-big-gun mixed-calibre shipsEdit\nHMS Agamemnon, an all-big-gun mixed-calibre ship of the Lord Nelson class. It carried four 12-inch (305 mm) and ten 9.2-inch (234 mm).\nAn evolutionary step was to reduce the quick-firing secondary battery and substitute additional heavy guns, typically 9.2-inch (234 mm) or 10-inch (254 mm). Ships designed in this way have been described as 'all-big-gun mixed-calibre' or later 'semi-dreadnoughts'. Semi-dreadnought ships had many heavy secondary guns in wing turrets near the centre of the ship, instead of the small guns mounted in barbettes of earlier pre-dreadnought ships.\nSemi-dreadnoughts classes included the British King Edward VII and Lord Nelson; Russian Andrei Pervozvanny; Japanese Katori, Satsuma, and Kawachi;[17] American Connecticut and Mississippi; French Danton; Italian Regina Elena; and Austro-Hungarian Radetzky class.\nThe design process for these ships often included discussion of an 'all-big-gun one-calibre' alternative.[18][d] The June 1902 issue of Proceedings of the US Naval Institute contained comments by the US Navy's leading gunnery expert, P.R Alger, proposing a main battery of eight 12-inch (305 mm) guns in twin turrets.[19] In May 1902, the Bureau of Construction and Repair submitted a design for the battleship with twelve 10-inch guns in twin turrets, two at the ends and four in the wings.[19] Lt. Cdr. H. C. Poundstone submitted a paper to President Roosevelt in December 1902 arguing the case for larger battleships. In an appendix to his paper, Poundstone suggested a greater number of 11-inch (279 mm) and 9-inch (229 mm) guns was preferable to a smaller number of 12-inch and 9-inch.[4] The Naval War College and Bureau of Construction and Repair developed these ideas in studies between 1903 and 1905. War-game studies begun in July 1903 \"showed that a battleship armed with twelve 11-inch or 12-inch guns hexagonally arranged would be equal to three or more of the conventional type.\"[20]\nThe Royal Navy was thinking along similar lines. A design had been circulated in 1902\u201303 for \"a powerful 'all big-gun' armament of two calibres, viz. four 12-inch and twelve 9.2-inch guns.\"[21] The Admiralty decided to build three more King Edward VIIs (with a mixture of 12-inch, 9.2-inch and 6-inch (152 mm)) in the 1903\u201304 naval construction programme instead.[22] The all-big-gun concept was revived for the 1904\u201305 programme, the Lord Nelson class. Restrictions on length and beam meant the midships 9.2-inch turrets became single instead of twin, thus giving an armament of four 12-inch, ten 9.2-inch and no 6-inch. The constructor for this design, J.H. Narbeth, submitted an alternative drawing showing an armament of twelve 12-inch guns, but the Admiralty was not prepared to accept this.[23] Part of the rationale for the decision to retain mixed-calibre guns was the need to begin the building of the ships quickly because of the tense situation produced by the Russo-Japanese War.[24]\nSwitch to all-big-gun designsEdit\nThe replacement of the 6-inch (152 mm) or 8-inch (203 mm) guns with weapons of 9.2-inch (234 mm) or 10-inch (254 mm) calibre improved the striking power of a battleship, particularly at longer ranges. Uniform heavy-gun armament offered many other advantages. One advantage was logistical simplicity. When the US was considering whether to have a mixed-calibre main armament for the South Carolina class, for example, William Sims and Homer Poundstone stressed the advantages of homogeneity in terms of ammunition supply and the transfer of crews from the disengaged guns to replace gunners wounded in action.[25]\nA uniform calibre of gun also helped streamline fire control. The designers of Dreadnought preferred an all-big-gun design because it would mean only one set of calculations about adjustments to the range of the guns.[e] Some historians today hold that a uniform calibre was particularly important because the risk of confusion between shell-splashes of 12-inch (305 mm) and lighter guns made accurate ranging difficult. This viewpoint is controversial, as fire control in 1905 was not advanced enough to use the salvo-firing technique where this confusion might be important,[26] and confusion of shell-splashes does not seem to have been a concern of those working on all-big-gun designs.[f] Nevertheless, the likelihood of engagements at longer ranges was important in deciding that the heaviest possible guns should become standard, hence 12-inch (305 mm) rather than 10-inch (254 mm).[g]\nThe newer designs of 12-inch gun mounting had a considerably higher rate of fire, removing the advantage previously enjoyed by smaller calibres. In 1895, a 12-inch gun might have fired one round every four minutes; by 1902, two rounds per minute was usual.[9] In October 1903, the Italian naval architect Vittorio Cuniberti published a paper in Jane's Fighting Ships entitled \"An Ideal Battleship for the British Navy\", which called for a 17,000 ton ship carrying a main armament of twelve 12-inch guns, protected by armour 12 inches thick, and having a speed of 24 knots (28 mph/44 km/h).[27] Cuniberti's idea\u2014which he had already proposed to his own navy, the Regia Marina\u2014was to make use of the high rate of fire of new 12-inch guns to produce devastating rapid-fire from heavy guns to replace the 'hail of fire' from lighter weapons.[9] Something similar lay behind the Japanese move towards heavier guns; at Tsushima, Japanese shells contained a higher than normal proportion of high explosive, and were fused to explode on contact, starting fires rather than piercing armour.[28] The increased rate of fire laid the foundations for future advances in fire control.[9]\nBuilding the first dreadnoughtsEdit\nA plan of HMS Dreadnought, showing the revolutionary design\nIn Japan, the two battleships of the 1903\u201304 programme were the first in the world to be laid down as all-big-gun ships, with eight 12-inch (305 mm) guns. The armour of their design was considered too thin, demanding a substantial redesign.[29] The financial pressures of the Russo-Japanese War and the short supply of 12-inch guns\u2014which had to be imported from the United Kingdom\u2014meant these ships were completed with a mixture of 12-inch and 10-inch (254 mm) armament. The 1903\u201304 design retained traditional triple-expansion steam engines, unlike Dreadnought.[6]\nThe dreadnought breakthrough occurred in the United Kingdom in October 1905. The new First Sea Lord, John \"Jackie\" Fisher had long been an advocate of new technology in the Royal Navy and had recently been convinced of the idea of an all-big-gun battleship.[h] Fisher is often credited as the creator of the dreadnought and the father of the United Kingdom's great dreadnought battleship fleet, an impression he himself did much to reinforce. It has been suggested Fisher's main focus was on the arguably even more revolutionary battlecruiser and not the battleship.[30]\nShortly after taking office, Fisher set up a Committee on Designs to consider future battleships and armoured cruisers.[7] The Committee's first task was to consider a new battleship. The specification for the new ship was a 12-inch main battery and anti-torpedo-boat guns but no intermediate calibres, and a speed of 21 kn (39 km/h) which was two or three knots faster than existing battleships.[31] The initial designs intended twelve 12-inch guns, though difficulties in positioning these guns led the chief constructor at one stage to propose a return to four 12-inch guns with sixteen or eighteen of 9.2-inch (234 mm). After a full evaluation of reports of the action at Tsushima compiled by an official observer, Captain Pakenham, the Committee settled on a main battery of ten 12-inch guns, along with twenty-two 12 pounders as secondary armament.[31] The Committee also gave Dreadnought steam turbine propulsion, which was unprecedented in a large warship. The greater power and lighter weight of turbines meant the 21-knot (24 mph/39 km/h) design speed could be achieved in a smaller and less costly ship than if reciprocating engines had been used.[32] Construction took place quickly; the keel was laid on 2 October 1905, the ship was launched on 10 February 1906, and completed on 3 October 1906\u2014an impressive demonstration of British industrial might.[7]\nThe first US dreadnoughts were the two South Carolina-class ships. Detailed plans for these were worked out in July\u2013November 1905, and approved by the Board of Construction on 23 November 1905.[33] Building was slow; specifications for bidders were issued on 21 March 1906, the contracts awarded on 21 July 1906[34] and the two ships were laid down in December 1906, after the completion of the Dreadnought.[35]\nThe designers of dreadnoughts sought to provide as much protection, speed, and firepower as possible in a ship of a realistic size and cost. The hallmark of dreadnought battleships was an \"all-big-gun\" armament, but they also had heavy armour concentrated mainly in a thick belt at the waterline and in one or more armoured decks. Secondary armament, fire control, command equipment, and protection against torpedoes also had to be crammed into the hull.[36]\nThe inevitable consequence of demands for ever greater speed, striking power, and endurance meant that displacement, and hence cost, of dreadnoughts tended to increase. The Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 imposed a limit of 35,000 tons on the displacement of capital ships. In subsequent years treaty battleships were commissioned to build up to this limit. Japan's decision to leave the Treaty in the 1930s, and the arrival of the Second World War, eventually made this limit irrelevant.[37]\nGrowth in size of battleship designs from 1905 onwards, showing the dreadnought's rapid growth between 1905 and 1920, prior to the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922\nA plan of Bellerophon (1907) showing the armament distribution of early British dreadnoughts. The main battery is in twin turrets, with two on the \"wings\"; the light secondary battery is clustered around the superstructure.\nDreadnoughts mounted a uniform main battery of heavy-calibre guns; the number, size, and arrangement differed between designs. Dreadnought mounted ten 12-inch (305 mm) guns. 12-inch guns had been standard for most navies in the pre-dreadnought era and this continued in the first generation of dreadnought battleships. The Imperial German Navy was an exception, continuing to use 280-millimetre (11.0 in) guns in its first class of dreadnoughts, the Nassau class.[38]\nDreadnoughts also carried lighter weapons. Many early dreadnoughts carried a secondary armament of very light guns designed to fend off enemy torpedo boats. The calibre and weight of secondary armament tended to increase, as the range of torpedoes and the staying power of the destroyers expected to carry them also increased. From the end of World War I onwards, battleships had to be equipped with many light guns as anti-aircraft armament.[39]\nDreadnoughts frequently carried torpedo tubes themselves. In theory, a line of battleships so equipped could unleash a devastating volley of torpedoes on an enemy line steaming a parallel course. In practice, torpedoes fired from battleships scored very few hits, and there was a risk that a stored torpedo would cause a dangerous explosion if hit by enemy fire.[40]\nPosition of main armamentEdit\nThe effectiveness of the guns depended in part on the layout of the turrets. Dreadnought, and the British ships which immediately followed it, carried five turrets: one forward, one aft and one amidships on the centreline of the ship, and two in the 'wings' next to the superstructure. This allowed three turrets to fire ahead and four on the broadside. The Nassau and Helgoland classes of German dreadnoughts adopted a 'hexagonal' layout, with one turret each fore and aft and four wing turrets; this meant more guns were mounted in total, but the same number could fire ahead or broadside as with Dreadnought.[41]\nDreadnought designs experimented with different layouts. The British Neptune-class battleship staggered the wing turrets, so all ten guns could fire on the broadside, a feature also used by the German Kaiser class. This risked blast damage to parts of the ship over which the guns fired, and put great stress on the ship's frames.[42]\nIf all turrets were on the centreline of the vessel, stresses on the ship's frames were relatively low. This layout meant the entire main battery could fire on the broadside, though fewer could fire end-on. It meant the hull would be longer, which posed some challenges for the designers; a longer ship needed to devote more weight to armour to get equivalent protection, and the magazines which served each turret interfered with the distribution of boilers and engines.[43] For these reasons, HMS Agincourt, which carried a record fourteen 12-inch guns in seven centreline turrets, was not considered a success.[44]\nA superfiring layout was eventually adopted as standard. This involved raising one or two turrets so they could fire over a turret immediately forward or astern of them. The US Navy adopted this feature with their first dreadnoughts in 1906, but others were slower to do so. As with other layouts there were drawbacks. Initially, there were concerns about the impact of the blast of the raised guns on the lower turret. Raised turrets raised the centre of gravity of the ship, and might reduce the stability of the ship. Nevertheless, this layout made the best of the firepower available from a fixed number of guns, and was eventually adopted generally.[42] The US Navy used superfiring on the South Carolina class, and the layout was adopted in the Royal Navy with the Orion class of 1910. By World War II, superfiring was entirely standard.\nInitially, all dreadnoughts had two guns to a turret. One solution to the problem of turret layout was to put three or even four guns in each turret. Fewer turrets meant the ship could be shorter, or could devote more space to machinery. On the other hand, it meant that in the event of an enemy shell destroying one turret, a higher proportion of the main armament would be out of action. The risk of the blast waves from each gun barrel interfering with others in the same turret reduced the rate of fire from the guns somewhat. The first nation to adopt the triple turret was Italy, in the Dante Alighieri, soon followed by Russia with the Gangut class,[45] the Austro-Hungarian Tegetthoff class, and the US Nevada class. British Royal Navy battleships did not adopt triple turrets until after the First World War, with the Nelson class. Several later designs used quadruple turrets, including the British King George V class and French Richelieu class.\nMain armament power and calibreEdit\nRather than try to fit more guns onto a ship, it was possible to increase the power of each gun. This could be done by increasing either the calibre of the weapon and hence the weight of shell, or by lengthening the barrel to increase muzzle velocity. Either of these offered the chance to increase range and armour penetration.[46]\nAnimated diagram of gun turret loading and firing, based on the British 15-inch gun used on super-dreadnoughts\nBoth methods offered advantages and disadvantages, though in general greater muzzle velocity meant increased barrel wear. As guns fire, their barrels wear out, losing accuracy and eventually requiring replacement. At times, this became problematic; the US Navy seriously considered stopping practice firing of heavy guns in 1910 because of the wear on the barrels.[47] The disadvantages of guns of larger calibre are that guns and turrets must be heavier; and heavier shells, which are fired at lower velocities, require turret designs that allow a larger angle of elevation for the same range. Heavier shells have the advantage of being slowed less by air resistance, retaining more penetrating power at longer ranges.[48]\nDifferent navies approached the issue of calibre in different ways. The German navy, for instance, generally used a lighter calibre than the equivalent British ships, e.g. 12-inch (305 mm) calibre when the British standard was 13.5-inch (343 mm). Because German metallurgy was superior, the German 12-inch gun had better shell weight and muzzle velocity than the British 12-inch; and German ships could afford more armour for the same vessel weight because the German 12\" guns were lighter than the 13.5\" guns the British required for comparable effect.[48]\nOver time the calibre of guns tended to increase. In the Royal Navy, the Orion class, launched 1910, had ten 13.5-inch guns, all on the centreline; the Queen Elizabeth class, launched 1913, had eight 15-inch (381 mm) guns. In all navies, fewer guns of larger calibre came to be used. The smaller number of guns simplified their distribution, and centreline turrets became the norm.[49]\nA further step change was planned for battleships designed and laid down at the end of World War I. The Japanese Nagato-class battleships in 1917 carried 410-millimetre (16.1 in) guns, which was quickly matched by the US Navy's Colorado class. Both the United Kingdom and Japan were planning battleships with 18-inch (457 mm) armament, in the British case the N3 class. The Washington Naval Treaty concluded on 6 February 1922 and ratified later limited battleship guns to not more than 16-inch (410 mm) calibre,[50] and these heavier guns were not produced.[51]\nA 14-inch naval gun, as fitted to the King George V-class treaty battleships\nThe only battleships to break the limit were the Japanese Yamato class, begun in 1937 (after the treaty expired), which carried 460 mm (18.1 in) main guns.[52] By the middle of World War II, the United Kingdom was making use of 15-inch guns kept as spares for the Queen Elizabeth class to arm the last British battleship, HMS Vanguard.[53]\nSome World War II-era designs were drawn up proposing another move towards gigantic armament. The German H-43 and H-44 designs proposed 508-millimetre (20 in) guns, and there is evidence Hitler wanted calibres as high as 609-millimetre (24 in);[54] the Japanese 'Super Yamato' design also called for 508 mm guns.[55] None of these proposals went further than very preliminary design work.\nSecondary armamentEdit\nThe first dreadnoughts tended to have a very light secondary armament intended to protect them from torpedo boats. Dreadnought carried 12-pounder guns; each of her twenty-two 12-pounders could fire at least 15 rounds a minute at any torpedo boat making an attack.[56] The South Carolinas and other early American dreadnoughts were similarly equipped.[57] At this stage, torpedo boats were expected to attack separately from any fleet actions. Therefore, there was no need to armour the secondary gun armament, or to protect the crews from the blast effects of the main guns. In this context, the light guns tended to be mounted in unarmoured positions high on the ship to minimize weight and maximize field of fire.[58]\n12-pounder anti-torpedo boat guns mounted on the roof of a turret on Dreadnought (1906)\nWithin a few years, the principal threat was from the destroyer\u2014larger, more heavily armed, and harder to destroy than the torpedo boat. Since the risk from destroyers was very serious, it was considered that one shell from a battleship's secondary armament should sink (rather than merely damage) any attacking destroyer. Destroyers, in contrast to torpedo boats, were expected to attack as part of a general fleet engagement, so it was necessary for the secondary armament to be protected against shell splinters from heavy guns, and the blast of the main armament. This philosophy of secondary armament was adopted by the German navy from the start; Nassau, for instance, carried twelve 150-mm (5.9 in) and sixteen 88-mm (3.45 in) guns, and subsequent German dreadnought classes followed this lead.[41] These heavier guns tended to be mounted in armoured barbettes or casemates on the main deck. The Royal Navy increased its secondary armament from 12-pounder to first 4-inch (100 mm) and then 6-inch (150 mm) guns, which were standard at the start of World War I;[59] the US standardized on 5-inch (130 mm) calibre for the war but planned 6-inch guns for the ships designed just afterwards.[60]\nThe secondary battery served several other roles. It was hoped that a medium-calibre shell might be able to score a hit on an enemy dreadnought's sensitive fire control systems. It was also felt that the secondary armament could play an important role in driving off enemy cruisers from attacking a crippled battleship.[61]\nThe secondary armament of dreadnoughts was, on the whole, unsatisfactory. A hit from a light gun could not be relied on to stop a destroyer. Heavier guns could not be relied on to hit a destroyer, as experience at the Battle of Jutland showed. The casemate mountings of heavier guns proved problematic; being low in the hull, they proved liable to flooding, and on several classes, some were removed and plated over. The only sure way to protect a dreadnought from destroyer or torpedo boat attack was to provide a destroyer squadron as an escort. After World War I the secondary armament tended to be mounted in turrets on the upper deck and around the superstructure. This allowed a wide field of fire and good protection without the negative points of casemates. Increasingly through the 1920s and 1930s, the secondary guns were seen as a major part of the anti-aircraft battery, with high-angle, dual-purpose guns increasingly adopted.[62]\nArmourEdit\nThis section of SMS Bayern shows a typical dreadnought protection scheme, with very thick armour protecting the turrets, magazines and engine spaces tapering away in less vital areas\nMuch of the displacement of a dreadnought was taken up by the steel plating of the armour. Designers spent much time and effort to provide the best possible protection for their ships against the various weapons they would be faced with. Only so much weight could be devoted to protection, without compromising speed, firepower or seakeeping.[63]\nCentral citadelEdit\nThe bulk of a dreadnought's armour was concentrated around the \"armoured citadel\". This was a box, with four armoured walls and an armoured roof, around the most important parts of the ship. The sides of the citadel were the \"armoured belt\" of the ship, which started on the hull just in front of the forward turret and ran to just behind the aft turret. The ends of the citadel were two armoured bulkheads, fore and aft, which stretched between the ends of the armour belt. The \"roof\" of the citadel was an armoured deck. Within the citadel were the boilers, engines, and the magazines for the main armament. A hit to any of these systems could cripple or destroy the ship. The \"floor\" of the box was the bottom of the ship's hull, and was unarmoured, although it was, in fact, a \"triple bottom\".[64]\nThe earliest dreadnoughts were intended to take part in a pitched battle against other battleships at ranges of up to 10,000 yd (9,100 m). In such an encounter, shells would fly on a relatively flat trajectory, and a shell would have to hit at or just about the waterline to damage the vitals of the ship. For this reason, the early dreadnoughts' armour was concentrated in a thick belt around the waterline; this was 11 inches (280 mm) thick in Dreadnought. Behind this belt were arranged the ship's coal bunkers, to further protect the engineering spaces.[65] In an engagement of this sort, there was also a lesser threat of indirect damage to the vital parts of the ship. A shell which struck above the belt armour and exploded could send fragments flying in all directions. These fragments were dangerous but could be stopped by much thinner armour than what would be necessary to stop an unexploded armour-piercing shell. To protect the innards of the ship from fragments of shells which detonated on the superstructure, much thinner steel armour was applied to the decks of the ship.[65]\nThe thickest protection was reserved for the central citadel in all battleships. Some navies extended a thinner armoured belt and armoured deck to cover the ends of the ship, or extended a thinner armoured belt up the outside of the hull. This \"tapered\" armour was used by the major European navies\u2014the United Kingdom, Germany, and France. This arrangement gave some armour to a larger part of the ship; for the very first dreadnoughts, when high-explosive shellfire was still considered a significant threat, this was useful. It tended to result in the main belt being very short, only protecting a thin strip above the waterline; some navies found that when their dreadnoughts were heavily laden, the armoured belt was entirely submerged.[66] The alternative was an \"all or nothing\" protection scheme, developed by the US Navy. The armour belt was tall and thick, but no side protection at all was provided to the ends of the ship or the upper decks. The armoured deck was also thickened. The \"all-or-nothing\" system provided more effective protection against the very-long-range engagements of dreadnought fleets and was adopted outside the US Navy after World War I.[67]\nThe design of the dreadnought changed to meet new challenges. For example, armour schemes were changed to reflect the greater risk of plunging shells from long-range gunfire, and the increasing threat from armour-piercing bombs dropped by aircraft. Later designs carried a greater thickness of steel on the armoured deck;[68] Yamato carried a 16-inch (410 mm) main belt, but a deck 9-inch (230 mm) thick.[69]\nUnderwater protection and subdivisionEdit\nThe final element of the protection scheme of the first dreadnoughts was the subdivision of the ship below the waterline into several watertight compartments. If the hull were holed\u2014by shellfire, mine, torpedo, or collision\u2014then, in theory, only one area would flood and the ship could survive. To make this precaution even more effective, many dreadnoughts had no doors between different underwater sections, so that even a surprise hole below the waterline need not sink the ship. There were still several instances where flooding spread between underwater compartments.[70]\nThe greatest evolution in dreadnought protection came with the development of the anti-torpedo bulge and torpedo belt, both attempts to protect against underwater damage by mines and torpedoes. The purpose of underwater protection was to absorb the force of a detonating mine or torpedo well away from the final watertight hull. This meant an inner bulkhead along the side of the hull, which was generally lightly armoured to capture splinters, separated from the outer hull by one or more compartments. The compartments in between were either left empty, or filled with coal, water or fuel oil.[71]\nParis on speed trials\nDreadnoughts were propelled by two to four screw propellers.[72] Dreadnought herself, and all British dreadnoughts, had screw shafts driven by steam turbines. The first generation of dreadnoughts built in other nations used the slower triple-expansion steam engine which had been standard in pre-dreadnoughts.[73]\nTurbines offered more power than reciprocating engines for the same volume of machinery.[74][75] This, along with a guarantee on the new machinery from the inventor, Charles Parsons, persuaded the Royal Navy to use turbines in Dreadnought.[75] It is often said that turbines had the additional benefits of being cleaner and more reliable than reciprocating engines.[76] By 1905, new designs of reciprocating engine were available which were cleaner and more reliable than previous models.[74]\nTurbines also had disadvantages. At cruising speeds much slower than maximum speed, turbines were markedly less fuel-efficient than reciprocating engines. This was particularly important for navies which required a long range at cruising speeds\u2014and hence for the US Navy, which was planning in the event of war to cruise across the Pacific and engage the Japanese in the Philippines.[77]\nThe US Navy experimented with turbine engines from 1908 in the North Dakota, but was not fully committed to turbines until the Pennsylvania class in 1916. In the preceding Nevada class, one ship, the Oklahoma, received reciprocating engines, while the Nevada received geared turbines. The two New York-class ships of 1914 both received reciprocating engines, but all four ships of the Florida (1911) and Wyoming (1912) classes received turbines.\nThe disadvantages of the turbine were eventually overcome. The solution which eventually was generally adopted was the geared turbine, where gearing reduced the rotation rate of the propellers and hence increased efficiency. This solution required technical precision in the gears and hence was difficult to implement.[78]\nOne alternative was the turbo-electric drive where the steam turbine generated electrical power which then drove the propellers. This was particularly favoured by the US Navy, which used it for all dreadnoughts from late 1915\u20131922. The advantages of this method were its low cost, the opportunity for very close underwater compartmentalization, and good astern performance. The disadvantages were that the machinery was heavy and vulnerable to battle damage, particularly the effects of flooding on the electrics.[i]\nTurbines were never replaced in battleship design. Diesel engines were eventually considered by some powers, as they offered very good endurance and an engineering space taking up less of the length of the ship. They were also heavier, however, took up a greater vertical space, offered less power, and were considered unreliable.[79][80]\nThe first generation of dreadnoughts used coal to fire the boilers which fed steam to the turbines. Coal had been in use since the very first steam warships. One advantage of coal was that it is quite inert (in lump form) and thus could be used as part of the ship's protection scheme.[81] Coal also had many disadvantages. It was labor-intensive to pack coal into the ship's bunkers and then feed it into the boilers. The boilers became clogged with ash. Airborne coal dust and related vapors were highly explosive, possibly evidenced by the explosion of USS Maine. Burning coal as fuel also produced thick black smoke which gave away the position of a fleet and interfered with visibility, signaling, and fire control. In addition, coal was very bulky and had comparatively low thermal efficiency.\nOil-fired propulsion had many advantages for naval architects and officers at sea alike. It reduced smoke, making ships less visible. It could be fed into boilers automatically, rather than needing a complement of stokers to do it by hand. Oil has roughly twice the thermal content of coal. This meant that the boilers themselves could be smaller; and for the same volume of fuel, an oil-fired ship would have much greater range.[81]\nThese benefits meant that, as early as 1901, Fisher was pressing the advantages of oil fuel.[82] There were technical problems with oil-firing, connected with the different distribution of the weight of oil fuel compared to coal,[81] and the problems of pumping viscous oil.[83] The main problem with using oil for the battle fleet was that, with the exception of the United States, every major navy would have to import its oil. As a result, some navies adopted 'dual-firing' boilers which could use coal sprayed with oil; British ships so equipped, which included dreadnoughts, could even use oil alone at up to 60% power.[84]\nThe US had large reserves of oil, and the US Navy was the first to wholeheartedly adopt oil-firing, deciding to do so in 1910 and ordering oil-fired boilers for the Nevada class, in 1911.[j] The United Kingdom was not far behind, deciding in 1912 to use oil on its own in the Queen Elizabeth class;[84] shorter British design and building times meant that Queen Elizabeth was commissioned before either of the Nevada-class vessels. The United Kingdom planned to revert to mixed firing with the subsequent Revenge class, at the cost of some speed\u2014but Fisher, who returned to office in 1914, insisted that all the boilers should be oil-fired.[85] Other major navies retained mixed coal-and-oil firing until the end of World War I.[86]\nDreadnought buildingEdit\nDreadnoughts developed as a move in an international battleship arms-race which had begun in the 1890s. The British Royal Navy had a big lead in the number of pre-dreadnought battleships, but a lead of only one dreadnought in 1906.[87] This has led to criticism that the British, by launching HMS Dreadnought, threw away a strategic advantage.[88][89] Most of the United Kingdom's naval rivals had already contemplated or even built warships that featured a uniform battery of heavy guns. Both the Japanese Navy and the US Navy ordered \"all-big-gun\" ships in 1904\u201305, with Satsuma and South Carolina, respectively. Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II had advocated a fast warship armed only with heavy guns since the 1890s. By securing a head start in dreadnought construction, the United Kingdom ensured its dominance of the seas continued.[90]\nThe battleship race soon accelerated once more, placing a great burden on the finances of the governments which engaged in it. The first dreadnoughts were not much more expensive than the last pre-dreadnoughts, but the cost per ship continued to grow thereafter.[k] Modern battleships were the crucial element of naval power in spite of their price. Each battleship signalled national power and prestige, in a manner similar to the nuclear weapons of today.[91] Germany, France, Russia, Italy, Japan and Austria all began dreadnought programmes, and second-rank powers -including the Ottoman Empire, Greece, Argentina, Brazil, and Chile - commissioned British, French, German, and American yards to build dreadnoughts for them.[92]\nAnglo-German arms raceEdit\nSee also: World War I naval arms race and Causes of World War I\nKing George V (left) inspects HMS Neptune\nThe construction of Dreadnought coincided with increasing tension between the United Kingdom and Germany. Germany had begun building a large battlefleet in the 1890s, as part of a deliberate policy to challenge British naval supremacy. With the signing of the Entente Cordiale in April 1904, it became increasingly clear the United Kingdom's principal naval enemy would be Germany, which was building up a large, modern fleet under the \"Tirpitz\" laws. This rivalry gave rise to the two largest dreadnought fleets of the pre-1914 period.[93]\nThe first German response to Dreadnought was the Nassau class, laid down in 1907, followed by the Helgoland class in 1909. Together with two battlecruisers\u2014a type for which the Germans had less admiration than Fisher, but which could be built under the authorization for armoured cruisers, rather than for capital ships\u2014these classes gave Germany a total of ten modern capital ships built or building in 1909. The British ships were faster and more powerful than their German equivalents, but a 12:10 ratio fell far short of the 2:1 superiority the Royal Navy wanted to maintain.[94]\nIn 1909, the British Parliament authorized an additional four capital ships, holding out hope Germany would be willing to negotiate a treaty limiting battleship numbers. If no such solution could be found, an additional four ships would be laid down in 1910. Even this compromise meant, when taken together with some social reforms, raising taxes enough to prompt a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom in 1909\u201310. In 1910, the British eight-ship construction plan went ahead, including four Orion-class super-dreadnoughts, augmented by battlecruisers purchased by Australia and New Zealand. In the same period, Germany laid down only three ships, giving the United Kingdom a superiority of 22 ships to 13. The British resolve, as demonstrated by their construction programme, led the Germans to seek a negotiated end to the arms race. The Admiralty's new target of a 60% lead over Germany was near enough to Tirpitz's goal of cutting the British lead to 50%, but talks foundered on the question on whether to include British colonial battlecruisers in the count, as well as on non-naval matters like the German demands for recognition of ownership of Alsace-Lorraine.[95]\nThe dreadnought race stepped up in 1910 and 1911, with Germany laying down four capital ships each year and the United Kingdom five. Tension came to a head following the German Naval Law of 1912. This proposed a fleet of 33 German battleships and battlecruisers, outnumbering the Royal Navy in home waters. To make matters worse for the United Kingdom, the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Navy was building four dreadnoughts, while the Italians had four and were building two more. Against such threats, the Royal Navy could no longer guarantee vital British interests. The United Kingdom was faced with a choice between building more battleships, withdrawing from the Mediterranean, or seeking an alliance with France. Further naval construction was unacceptably expensive at a time when social welfare provision was making calls on the budget. Withdrawing from the Mediterranean would mean a huge loss of influence, weakening British diplomacy in the region and shaking the stability of the British Empire. The only acceptable option, and the one recommended by First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill, was to break with the policies of the past and to make an arrangement with France. The French would assume responsibility for checking Italy and Austria-Hungary in the Mediterranean, while the British would protect the north coast of France. In spite of some opposition from British politicians, the Royal Navy organised itself on this basis in 1912.[96]\nIn spite of these important strategic consequences, the 1912 Naval Law had little bearing on the battleship-force ratios. The United Kingdom responded by laying down ten new super-dreadnoughts in its 1912 and 1913 budgets\u2014ships of the Queen Elizabeth and Revenge classes, which introduced a further step-change in armament, speed and protection\u2014while Germany laid down only five, concentrating resources on its army.[97]\nUSS New York making full steam in 1915\nThe American South Carolina-class battleships were the first all-big-gun ships completed by one of the United Kingdom's rivals. The planning for the type had begun before Dreadnought was launched. There is some speculation that informal contacts with sympathetic Royal Navy officials influenced the US Navy design,[98] but the American ship was very different.\nThe US Congress authorized the Navy to build two battleships, but of only 16,000 tons or lower displacement. As a result, the South Carolina class were built to much tighter limits than Dreadnought. To make the best use of the weight available for armament, all eight 12-inch (305 mm) guns were mounted along the centreline, in superfiring pairs fore and aft. This arrangement gave a broadside equal to Dreadnought, but with fewer guns; this was the most efficient distribution of weapons and proved a precursor of the standard practice of future generations of battleships. The principal economy of displacement compared to Dreadnought was in propulsion; South Carolina retained triple-expansion steam engines, and could manage only 18.5 kn (34.3 km/h) compared to 21 kn (39 km/h) for Dreadnought.[99] For this reason the later Delaware class were described by some as the US Navy's first dreadnoughts;[100][101] only a few years after their commissioning, the South Carolina class could not operate tactically with the newer dreadnoughts due to their low speed, and were forced to operate with the older pre-dreadnoughts.[102][103]\nThe two 10-gun 20,500 ton ships of the Delaware class were the first US battleships to match the speed of British dreadnoughts, but their secondary battery was \"wet\" (suffering from spray) and their bow was low in the water. An alternative 12-gun 24,000 ton design had many disadvantages as well; the extra two guns and a lower casemate had \"hidden costs\"\u2014the two wing turrets planned would weaken the upper deck, be almost impossible to adequately protect against underwater attack, and force magazines to be located too close to the sides of the ship.[100][104]\nThe US Navy continued to expand its battlefleet, laying down two ships in most subsequent years until 1920. The US continued to use reciprocating engines as an alternative to turbines until the Nevada class, laid down in 1912. In part, this reflected a cautious approach to battleship-building, and in part a preference for long endurance over high maximum speed.[105]\nThe Japanese battleship Settsu\nWith their victory in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904\u201305, the Japanese became concerned about the potential for conflict with the US. The theorist Sat\u014d Tetsutar\u014d developed the doctrine that Japan should have a battlefleet at least 70% the size of that of the US. This would enable the Japanese navy to win two decisive battles: the first early in a prospective war against the US Pacific Fleet, and the second against the US Atlantic Fleet which would inevitably be dispatched as reinforcements.[106]\nJapan's first priorities were to refit the pre-dreadnoughts captured from Russia and to complete Satsuma and Aki. The Satsumas were designed before Dreadnought, but financial shortages resulting from the Russo-Japanese War delayed completion and resulted in their carrying a mixed armament, so they were known as \"semi-dreadnoughts\". These were followed by a modified Aki-type: Kawachi and Settsu. These two ships were laid down in 1909 and completed in 1912. They were armed with twelve 12-inch (305 mm) guns, but they were of two different models with differing barrel-lengths, meaning that they would have had difficulty controlling their fire at long ranges.[107]\nSee also: South American dreadnought race\nProvence, a Bretagne-class battleship\nCompared to the other major naval powers, France was slow to start building dreadnoughts, instead finishing the planned Danton class of pre-dreadnoughts, laying down five in 1907 and 1908. In September 1910 the first of the Courbet class was laid down, making France the eleventh nation to enter the dreadnought race.[108] In the Navy Estimates of 1911, Paul B\u00e9nazet asserted that from 1896 to 1911, France dropped from being the world's second-largest naval power to fourth; he attributed this to problems in maintenance routines and neglect.[109] The closer alliance with the United Kingdom made these reduced forces more than adequate for French needs.[108]\nThe Italian navy had received proposals for an all-big-gun battleship from Cuniberti well before Dreadnought was launched, but it took until 1909 for Italy to lay down one of its own. The construction of Dante Alighieri was prompted by rumours of Austro-Hungarian dreadnought-building. A further five dreadnoughts of the Conte di Cavour class and Andrea Doria class class followed as Italy sought to maintain its lead over Austria-Hungary. These ships remained the core of Italian naval strength until World War II. The subsequent Francesco Caracciolo-class battleship were suspended (and later cancelled) on the outbreak of World War I.[110]\nAustro-Hungarian battleship Tegetthoff\nIn January 1909 Austro-Hungarian admirals circulated a document calling for a fleet of four dreadnoughts. A constitutional crisis in 1909\u201310 meant no construction could be approved. In spite of this, shipyards laid down two dreadnoughts on a speculative basis \u2013 due especially to the energetic manipulations of Rudolf Montecuccoli, Chief of the Austro-Hungarian Navy \u2013 later approved along with an additional two. The resulting ships, all Tegetthoff class, were to be accompanied by a further four ships, but these were cancelled on the outbreak of World War I.[111]\nThe Baltic Fleet's dreadnought Poltava in 1916.\nIn June 1909 the Imperial Russian Navy began construction of four Gangut class dreadnoughts for the Baltic Fleet, and in October 1911, three more Imperatritsa Mariya class dreadnoughts for the Black Sea Fleet were laid down. Of seven ships, only one was completed within four years of being laid down, and the Gangut ships were \"obsolescent and outclassed\" upon commissioning.[112][113] Taking lessons from Tsushima, and influenced by Cuniberti, they ended up more closely resembling slower versions of Fisher's battlecruisers than Dreadnought, and they proved badly flawed due to their smaller guns and thinner armour when compared with contemporary dreadnoughts.[112][114]\nSpain commissioned three ships of the Espa\u00f1a class, with the first laid down in 1909. The three ships, the smallest dreadnoughts ever constructed, were built in Spain, with assistance; construction on the third ship, Jaime I, took nine years from its laying down date to completion because of non-delivery of critical material, especially armament, from the United Kingdom.[115][116]\nThe gun trials of the Brazilian dreadnought Minas Geraes, where all the guns capable of training to the port side were fired, forming what was at that time the heaviest broadside ever fired from a warship\nBrazil was the third country to begin construction on a dreadnought. It ordered three dreadnoughts from the United Kingdom which would mount a heavier main battery than any other battleship afloat at the time (twelve 12 in (30 cm)/45 calibre guns). Two were completed for Brazil: Minas Geraes was laid down on by Armstrong (Elswick) on 17 April 1907, and its sister, S\u00e3o Paulo, followed thirteen days later at Vickers (Barrow). Although many naval journals in Europe and the US speculated that Brazil was really acting as a proxy for one of the naval powers and would hand the ships over to them as soon as they were complete, both ships were commissioned into the Brazilian Navy in 1910.[98][117][118] The third ship, Rio de Janeiro, was nearly complete when rubber prices collapsed and Brazil could not afford her. She was sold to Turkey in 1913.\nThe Netherlands intended by 1912 to replace its fleet of pre-dreadnought armoured ships with a modern fleet composed of dreadnoughts. After a Royal Commission proposed the purchase of nine dreadnoughts in August 1913, there were extensive debates over the need for such ships and - if they were necessary - over the actual number needed. These lasted into August 1914, when a bill authorizing funding for four dreadnoughts was finalized, but the outbreak of World War I halted the ambitious plan.[119][120]\nThe Ottoman Empire ordered two dreadnoughts from British yards, Reshadiye in 1911 and Fatih Sultan Mehmed in 1914. Reshadiye was completed, and in 1913, Turkey also acquired a nearly-completed dreadnought from Brazil, which became Sultan Osman I. At the start of World War I, Britain seized the two completed ships for the Royal Navy. Reshadiye and Sultan Osman I became HMS Erin and Agincourt (1913) respectively. (Fatih Sultan Mehmed was scrapped.) This greatly offended the Ottoman Empire. When two German warships, the battlecruiser SMS Goeben and the cruiser SMS Breslau, became trapped in Ottoman territory after the start of the war, Germany \"gave\" them to the Ottomans. (They remained German-crewed and under German orders.) The British seizure and the German gift proved important factors in the Ottoman Empire joining the Central Powers in October 1914.[121]\nGreece had ordered a dreadnought from Germany, but work stopped on the outbreak of war. The main armament for the Greek ship had been ordered in the United States, and the guns consequently equipped a class of British monitors. In 1914 Greece purchased two pre-dreadnoughts from the United States Navy, renaming them Kilkis and Lemnos in Royal Hellenic Navy service.[122]\nSuper-dreadnoughtsEdit\nThe Orion-class battleships in line\nWithin five years of the commissioning of Dreadnought, a new generation of more powerful \"super-dreadnoughts\" was being built. The British Orion class jumped an unprecedented 2,000-tons in displacement, introduced the heavier 13.5-inch (343 mm) gun, and placed all the main armament on the centreline (hence with some turrets superfiring over others). In the four years between Dreadnought and Orion, displacement had increased by 25%, and weight of broadside (the weight of ammunition that can be fired in one salvo) had doubled.[123]\nBritish super-dreadnoughts were joined by those built by other nations. The US Navy New York class, laid down in 1911, carried 14-inch (356 mm) guns in response to the British move and this calibre became standard. In Japan, two Fus\u014d class super-dreadnoughts were laid down in 1912, followed by the two Ise class in 1914, with both classes carrying twelve 14-inch (356 mm) guns. In 1917, the Nagato class was ordered, the first dreadnoughts to mount 16-inch (406 mm) guns, making them arguably the most powerful warships in the world. All were increasingly built from Japanese rather than from imported components. In France, the Courbets were followed by three super-dreadnoughts of the Bretagne class, carrying 340 mm (13.4 in) guns; another five Normandies were canceled on the outbreak of World War I.[124] The aforementioned Brazilian dreadnoughts sparked a small-scale arms race in South America, as Argentina and Chile each ordered two super-dreadnoughts from the US and the United Kingdom, respectively. Argentina's Rivadavia and Moreno had a main armament equaling that of their Brazilian counterparts, but were much heavier and carried thicker armour. The British purchased both of Chile's battleships on the outbreak of the First World War. One, Almirante Latorre, was later repurchased by Chile.[125][126]\nLater British super-dreadnoughts, principally the Queen Elizabeth class, dispensed with the midships turret, freeing weight and volume for larger, oil-fired boilers. The new 15-inch (381-mm) gun gave greater firepower in spite of the loss of a turret, and there were a thicker armour belt and improved underwater protection. The class had a 25-knot (46-km/h - 28.5 mph) design speed, and they were considered the first fast battleships.[127]\nThe Argentine Rivadavia, first of its class, under construction\nThe design weakness of super-dreadnoughts, which distinguished them from post-1918 vessels, was armour disposition. Their design emphasized the vertical armour protection needed in short-range battles, where shells would strike the sides of the ship, and assumed that an outer plate of armour would detonate any incoming shells so that crucial internal structures such as turret bases needed only light protection against splinters. This was in spite of the fact that these ships could engage the enemy at 20,000 yd (18,000 m), ranges where the shells would descend at angles of up to thirty degrees (\"plunging fire\") and so could drop behind the outer plate and strike the internal structures directly. Post-war designs typically had 5 to 6 inches (130 to 150 mm) of deck armour laid across the top of single, much thicker vertical plates to defend against this. The concept of zone of immunity became a major part of the thinking behind battleship design. Lack of underwater protection was also a weakness of these pre-World War I designs, which originated before the use of torpedoes became widespread.[128]\nThe United States Navy designed its 'Standard type battleships', beginning with the Nevada class, with long-range engagements and plunging fire in mind; the first of these was laid down in 1912, four years before the Battle of Jutland taught the dangers of long-range fire to European navies. Important features of the standard battleships were \"all or nothing\" armour and \"raft\" construction\u2014based on a design philosophy which held that only those parts of the ship worth giving the thickest possible protection were worth armouring at all, and that the resulting armoured \"raft\" should contain enough reserve buoyancy to keep the entire ship afloat in the event the unarmoured bow and stern were thoroughly punctured and flooded. This design proved its worth in the 1942 Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, when an ill-timed turn by South Dakota silhouetted her to Japanese guns. In spite of receiving 26 hits, her armoured raft remained untouched and she remained both afloat and operational at the end of action.[129]\nIn actionEdit\nMain article: Naval Warfare of World War I\nHMS Audacious sinks after hitting a mine, October 1914\nThe First World War saw no decisive engagements between battlefleets to compare with Tsushima. The role of battleships was marginal to the land fighting in France and Russia; it was equally marginal to the German war on commerce (Handelskrieg) and the Allied blockade.[130]\nBy virtue of geography, the Royal Navy could keep the German High Seas Fleet confined to the North Sea with relative ease, but was unable to break the German superiority in the Baltic Sea. Both sides were aware, because of the greater number of British dreadnoughts, that a full fleet engagement would likely result in a British victory. The German strategy was, therefore, to try to provoke an engagement on favourable terms: either inducing a part of the Grand Fleet to enter battle alone, or to fight a pitched battle near the German coast, where friendly minefields, torpedo boats, and submarines could even the odds.[131]\nThe first two years of war saw conflict in the North Sea limited to skirmishes by battlecruisers at the Battle of Heligoland Bight and Battle of Dogger Bank, and raids on the English coast. In May 1916, a further attempt to draw British ships into battle on favourable terms resulted in a clash of the battlefleets on 31 May to 1 June in the indecisive Battle of Jutland.[132]\nIn the other naval theatres, there were no decisive pitched battles. In the Black Sea, Russian and Turkish battleships skirmished, but nothing more. In the Baltic Sea, action was largely limited to convoy raiding and the laying of defensive minefields.[133] The Adriatic was in a sense the mirror of the North Sea: the Austro-Hungarian dreadnought fleet was confined to the Adriatic by the British and French blockade but bombarded the Italians on several occasions, notably at Ancona in 1915.[134] And in the Mediterranean, the most important use of battleships was in support of the amphibious assault at Gallipoli.[135]\nSMS Szent Istv\u00e1n begins to roll over after being torpedoed in 1918\nThe course of the war illustrated the vulnerability of battleships to cheaper weapons. In September 1914, the U-boat threat to capital ships was demonstrated by successful attacks on British cruisers, including the sinking of three elderly British armoured cruisers by the German submarine U-9 in less than an hour. Mines continued to prove a threat when a month later the recently commissioned British super-dreadnought HMS Audacious struck one and sank in 1914. By the end of October, British strategy and tactics in the North Sea had changed to reduce the risk of U-boat attack.[136] Jutland was the only major clash of dreadnought battleship fleets in history, and the German plan for the battle relied on U-boat attacks on the British fleet; and the escape of the German fleet from the superior British firepower was effected by the German cruisers and destroyers closing on British battleships, causing them to turn away to avoid the threat of torpedo attack. Further near-misses from submarine attacks on battleships led to growing concern in the Royal Navy about the vulnerability of battleships.[137]\nFor the German part, the High Seas Fleet determined not to engage the British without the assistance of submarines, and since submarines were more needed for commerce raiding, the fleet stayed in port for much of the remainder of the war.[138] Other theatres showed the role of small craft in damaging or destroying dreadnoughts. The two Austrian dreadnoughts lost in November 1918 were casualties of Italian torpedo boats and frogmen.\nBattleship building from 1914 onwardsEdit\nThe outbreak of World War I largely halted the dreadnought arms race as funds and technical resources were diverted to more pressing priorities. The foundries which produced battleship guns were dedicated instead to the production of land-based artillery, and shipyards were flooded with orders for small ships. The weaker naval powers engaged in the Great War\u2014France, Austria-Hungary, Italy and Russia\u2014suspended their battleship programmes entirely. The United Kingdom and Germany continued building battleships and battlecruisers but at a reduced pace.[139]\nIn the United Kingdom, Fisher returned to his old post as First Sea Lord; he had been created 1st Baron Fisher in 1909, taking the motto Fear God and dread nought. This, combined with a government moratorium on battleship building, meant a renewed focus on the battlecruiser. Fisher resigned in 1915 following arguments about the Gallipoli Campaign with the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill.\nThe final units of the Revenge and Queen Elizabeth classes were completed, though the last two battleships of the Revenge class were redesigned as battlecruisers of the Renown class. Fisher followed these ships with the even more extreme Courageous class; very fast and heavily armed ships with minimal, 3-inch (76 mm) armour, called 'large light cruisers' to get around a Cabinet ruling against new capital ships. Fisher's mania for speed culminated in his suggestion for HMS Incomparable, a mammoth, lightly armoured battlecruiser.[140]\nIn Germany, two units of the pre-war Bayern class were gradually completed, but the other two laid down were still unfinished by the end of the War. Hindenburg, also laid down before the start of the war, was completed in 1917. The Mackensen class, designed in 1914\u201315, were begun but never finished.[141]\nIn spite of the lull in battleship building during the World War, the years 1919\u20131922 saw the threat of a renewed naval arms race between the United Kingdom, Japan, and the US. The Battle of Jutland exerted a huge influence over the designs produced in this period. The first ships which fit into this picture are the British Admiral class, designed in 1916. Jutland finally persuaded the Admiralty that lightly armoured battlecruisers were too vulnerable, and therefore the final design of the Admirals incorporated much-increased armour, increasing displacement to 42,000 tons. The initiative in creating the new arms race lay with the Japanese and United States navies. The United States Naval Appropriations Act of 1916 authorized the construction of 156 new ships, including ten battleships and six battlecruisers. For the first time, the United States Navy was threatening the British global lead.[142] This programme was started slowly (in part because of a desire to learn lessons from Jutland), and never fulfilled entirely. The new American ships (the Colorado-class battleships and Lexington-class battlecruisers), took a qualitative step beyond the British Queen Elizabeth class and Admiral classes by mounting 16-inch (406 mm) guns.[143]\nThe American California, one of two Tennessee-class battleships, steaming at high speed in 1921\nAt the same time, the Imperial Japanese Navy was finally gaining authorization for its 'eight-eight battlefleet'. The Nagato class, authorized in 1916, carried eight 16-inch guns like their American counterparts. The next year's naval bill authorized two more battleships and two more battlecruisers. The battleships, which became the Tosa class, were to carry ten 16-inch guns. The battlecruisers, the Amagi class, also carried ten 16-inch guns and were designed to be capable of 30 knots, capable of beating both the British Admiral- and the US Navy's Lexington-class battlecruisers.[144]\nMatters took a further turn for the worse in 1919 when Woodrow Wilson proposed a further expansion of the United States Navy, asking for funds for an additional ten battleships and six battlecruisers in addition to the completion of the 1916 programme (the South Dakota class not yet started). In response, the Diet of Japan finally agreed to the completion of the 'eight-eight fleet', incorporating a further four battleships.[145] These ships, the Kii class would displace 43,000 tons; the next design, the Number 13 class, would have carried 18-inch (457 mm) guns.[146] Many in the Japanese navy were still dissatisfied, calling for an 'eight-eight-eight' fleet with 24 modern battleships and battlecruisers.\nThe British, impoverished by World War I, faced the prospect of slipping behind the US and Japan. No ships had been begun since the Admiral class, and of those only HMS Hood had been completed. A June 1919 Admiralty plan outlined a post-war fleet with 33 battleships and eight battlecruisers, which could be built and sustained for \u00a3171 million a year (approximately \u00a37.72 billion today); only \u00a384 million was available. The Admiralty then demanded, as an absolute minimum, a further eight battleships.[147] These would have been the G3 battlecruisers, with 16-inch guns and high speed, and the N3-class battleships, with 18-inch (457 mm) guns.[148] Its navy severely limited by the Treaty of Versailles, Germany did not participate in this three-way naval building competition. Most of the German dreadnought fleet was scuttled at Scapa Flow by its crews in 1919; the remainder were handed over as war prizes.[l][149]\nThe major naval powers avoided the cripplingly expensive expansion programmes by negotiating the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922. The Treaty laid out a list of ships, including most of the older dreadnoughts and almost all the newer ships under construction, which were to be scrapped or otherwise put out of use. It furthermore declared a 'building holiday' during which no new battleships or battlecruisers were to be laid down, save for the British Nelson class. The ships which survived the treaty, including the most modern super-dreadnoughts of all three navies, formed the bulk of international capital ship strength through the 1920s and 1930s and, with some modernisation, into World War II. The ships built under the terms of the Washington Treaty (and subsequently the London Treaties in 1930 and 1936) to replace outdated vessels were known as treaty battleships.[150]\nFrom this point on, the term 'dreadnought' became less widely used. Most pre-dreadnought battleships were scrapped or hulked after World War I,[m] so the term 'dreadnought' became less necessary.\n^ The concept of an all-big-gun ship had been in development for several years before Dreadnought's construction. The Imperial Japanese Navy had begun work on an all-big-gun battleship in 1904, but finished the ship with a mixed armament. The United States Navy was building ships with a similar armament scheme, though Dreadnought was launched before any were completed.\n^ At very close ranges, a projectile fired from a gun follows a flat trajectory, and the guns can be aimed by pointing them at the enemy. At greater ranges, the gunner has a more difficult problem as the gun needs to be elevated in order for the projectile to follow a proper ballistic trajectory to hit its target. This, therefore, needs accurate estimation (prediction) of the range to the target, which was one of the main problems of fire control. On warships, these problems are complicated by the fact that the ship will naturally roll in the water. Friedman 1978, p. 99.\n^ Lighter projectiles have a lower ratio of mass to frontal surface area, and so their velocity is reduced more quickly by air resistance.\n^ See Friedman 1985, p. 51, for discussion of alternative proposals for the Mississippi class.\n^ Additional advantage is gained by having a uniform armament. A mixed armament necessitates separate control for each type; owing to a variety of causes the range passed to 12-inch guns is not the range that will suit the 9.2-inch or 6-inch guns, although the distance of the target is the same.\" First Addendum to the Report of the Committee on Designs, quoted in Mackay 1973, p. 322.\n^ In the United Kingdom: \"Fisher does not seem to have expressed interest in ... the ability to hit an adversary at long range by spotting salvoes. It is also very difficult to understand just when this method was first officially understood\"; Mackay 1973, p. 322. And in America: \"The possibility of gunnery confusion due to two calibers as close as 10 inches (250 mm) and 12 inches (300 mm) was never raised. For example, Sims and Poundstone stressed the advantages of homogeneity in terms of ammunition supply and the transfer of crews from the disengaged guns to replace wounded gunners. Friedman 1985, p. 55.\n^ In October W.L. Rogers of the Naval War College wrote a long and detailed memorandum on this question, pointing out that as ranges became longer the difference in accuracy between even 10-inch and 12-inch guns became enormous.Friedman 1985, p. 55; \"The advantage at long range lies with the ship which carries the greatest number of guns of the largest type\", Report of the Committee on Designs, quoted in Mackay 1973, p. 322.\n^ Fisher first firmly proposed the all-big-gun idea in a paper in 1904, where he called for battleships with sixteen 10-inch guns; by November 1904 he was convinced of the need for 12-inch guns. A 1902 letter, where he suggested powerful ships 'with equal fire all round', might have meant an all-big-gun design. Mackay 1973, p. 312.\n^ Friedman 1985, pp. 126\u2013128. Friedman notes, for instance, the total loss of power in the turbo-electric drive of converted battlecruiser USS Saratoga (CV-3) after just one torpedo hit in World War II.\n^ Friedman 1985, pp. 104\u2013105. While Nevada was designed and completed with oil-fired steam turbines, Oklahoma was designed and completed with oil-fired triple-expansion engines.\n^ Dreadnought (1906) cost \u00a31,783,000, compared to the \u00a31,540,000 for each of the Lord Nelson class. Eight years later the Queen Elizabeth class cost \u00a32,300,000. Comparable figures today are 188 million; 163 million; 222 million. Original figures from Breyer, Battleships and Battlecruisers of the World, p.52, 141; comparisons from Measuring Worth UK CPI.\n^ The Nassau and Heligoland classes were war prizes. The Kaiser and K\u00f6nig classes, and first two of the Bayern class were scuttled (though Baden was prevented from sinking by the British who refloated her and used her as a target ship and for experiments). Battleships under construction were scrapped instead of being completed.\n^ This process was well under way before the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty. Sixteen pre-dreadnoughts served during World War II in such roles as hulks, accommodation ships, and training vessels; two of the German training vessels Schlesien and Schleswig-Holstein undertook naval gunfire support in the Baltic.\n^ The Battle of Jutland: The Navy's Bloodiest Day.

        "raw_content": "Nyrstar operates a zinc refinery in Budel-Dorplein in the Netherlands where 450 employees produce 260,000 tonnes of zinc per year. The subsidiary is owned 100% by Nyrstar, the world's biggest producer of zinc and a leading company in lead, silver, gold and copper. The production process produces two bleed streams that require treatment: a weak acid from the wash tower and an electrolyses bleed.\nTraditionally, acidic streams are treated using lime to neutralise acid and to precipitate metals. This conventional treatment created a large amount of contaminated gypsum that was stored around the smelter. In over a hundred years of zinc refining the contaminated groundwater underneath the plant had become polluted with sulphate and heavy metals like zinc and cadmium. A geohydrological containment system (GHS) was installed to avoid further spreading of the pollution.\nIn 1992, Paques designed and built the first full-scale SULFATEQ\u2122 to treat the water from the GHS with a design flow of 230 m3/h.\nFrom July 2000, legislation prohibited further production of solid residues at the site. This meant that an alternative had to be found for the lime neutralisation of acid bleeds from the gas treatment and zinc electrolysis.\nVarious alternative water treatment processes were studied to find a process that avoids the production of solid or liquid waste. A second SULFATEQ\u2122 installation was commissioned to neutralise the acid with calcine, and to convert the dissolved zinc sulphate into zinc sulphide and elemental sulphur, which are recycled to the roaster. As a result, the site does not produce solid waste and can be regarded as the first solid waste-free zinc refinery.",

        "raw_content": "How to Choose the Right Swingset for Your Kids\nSwingset Safety Guidelines\nMost serious swingset injuries involve falls onto hard surfaces. When buying your swingset, think about ways to create a safe play surface.\n\u00a9 Mika/Corbis\nAround 200,000 American kids visit hospital emergency rooms each year with injuries sustained on playground equipment [source: CPSC]. Whether you're buying your swingset new or searching for a deal on Craigslist, make sure you know the most common swingset safety issues.\nThe majority of serious injuries related to swingsets \u2014 and even the occasional fatality \u2014 involve falls onto hard surfaces. When you are choosing your swingset, think about ways to create a safe play surface. The CPSC recommends building a raised bed consisting of at least 9 inches (22.8 centimeters) of \"loose fill material\" like wood chips, shredded rubber mulch or sand. Since the fill material will settle over time, it will need to be replenished or replaced to maintain that 9-inch buffer.\nAll new swingsets sold in the U.S. should conform to safety standards developed by the CPSC. But if you are shopping for a used swingset, please keep these safety criteria in mind [source: CPSC]:\nLook for lightweight swings, because they are less likely to cause injuries by accidentally striking a child in the body or head.\nAll platforms or decks higher than 30 inches (76 centimeters) should have a guard rail.\nThe space between rails should either be smaller than 3.5 inches (8.9 centimeters) or larger than 9 inches (22.8 centimeters). Otherwise, a child can get his or her head trapped between the rails.\nThe rungs on a step or rope ladder or rope net should follow the same size guidelines.\nMake sure that there aren't any sharp edges, protruding bolts or open S hooks that can cause injuries or snag clothing.\nTire swings that rotate 360 degrees should be in a separate area from the swingset to avoid injuries.\nDon't buy a swingset where swings, gliders or other accessories are suspended from the monkey bars. If children fall from the monkey bars, they can get tangled in the swings below.\nFor lots more information about backyard fun and child safety, check out the related HowStuffWorks links below.\nAuthor's Note: How to Choose the Right Swingset for Your Kids\nI still remember the day we bought our daughter her very first piece of playground equipment. She was only 18 months old, but judging by the increasingly taller pieces of furniture she summited in our living room, she showed great promise as a competitive alpinist. We sought out a simple climbing gym with a slide where she could hone her daredevil skills. I was thinking 50 bucks, tops. Nearly $300 later, we were driving home from the toy store with a box strapped to the top of the car that was nearly as big as the car itself. After hours of setup, I encircled the thing with rubber mats and let her at it. She was in heaven. Our daughter recently turned 8, and I don't think I've given her anything that brought her more happiness than that giant plastic play set.

        "title": "A Response to Senator Rubio \u22c6 Epeak World News",
        "raw_content": "A Response to Senator Rubio\nHome/Life/USA/A Response to Senator Rubio\nphoto provided by Ted Eytan\nThis article was first published on Just Security.\nLast week, the Senate passed a bill sponsored by Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) that would permit state and local governments to deny contracts to corporations and government entities (such as public universities) that use their financial muscle to voice opposition to the government of Israel through boycott, divestment, or economic sanctions\u200a\u2014\u200a\u201cBDS\u201d for short. It\u2019s no surprise that Senator Rubio\u2019s bill\u200a\u2014\u200aknown as the Combating BDS Act of 2019\u200a\u2014\u200ahas drawn criticism from the ACLU and other groups that oppose government impingement on freedom of speech.\nSenator Rubio responded to this criticism in a New York Times op-ed, arguing that his legislation does not violate the First Amendment due to a combination of two reasons. First, the bill applies to \u201centities,\u201d not individuals or associations of people. Second, it targets anti\u2011Israel \u201cconduct,\u201d not speech. But those arguments are hard to square with the Supreme Court\u2019s First Amendment jurisprudence, indeed, the same case law that Senator Rubio has otherwise championed.\nThe best that can be said for the legal prospects of Senator Rubio\u2019s bill is that it is unlikely to be challenged because it\u2019s a dud. The bill would not withhold federal dollars from businesses or other entities that try to exert economic pressure on Israel. Instead, it merely clarifies that federal law does not prohibit state or local governments from denying funding to entities engaged in such activities. But nobody has been waiting for that clarification from Congress. More than half of the states have already enacted anti-BDS legislation.\nEven though Senator Rubio\u2019s bill has little bite, the legal arguments that he made in support of it in his op-ed are alarming. The First Amendment protects corporations when they engage in political speech to the same degree that it protects individuals in these kinds of cases. Imagine if Congress were to enact a law that denied federal loans to students who participate in boycotts of Israel. Such a law would be unconstitutional because it would penalize students for exercising their First Amendment rights. The same principles apply to government attempts to discourage disfavored political activism by corporations when awarding contracts.\nWe know this because of Citizens United v. FEC, which is popularly\u200a\u2014\u200aand too simplistically\u200a\u2014\u200aremembered for the proposition that \u201ccorporations are people.\u201d In truth, corporate personhood has much deeper roots in our nation\u2019s legal history. Indeed, one of the most famous First Amendment cases, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, involved a newspaper advertisement, a form of corporate speech. Citizens United was nonetheless significant because it firmly and controversially established that corporations enjoy rights identical to those enjoyed by individuals when it comes to engaging in political speech. Considering a law banning corporate spending on campaign advertisements in the days immediately before federal elections and primaries, the Supreme Court rejected the argument that \u201cpolitical speech of corporations or other associations should be treated differently under the First Amendment simply because such associations are not \u2018natural persons.\u2019\u201d\nSenator Rubio\u2019s second argument in support of his bill\u200a\u2014\u200athat it regulates conduct, not speech\u200a\u2014\u200afares no better. As the famous flag-burning case Texas v. Johnsondemonstrates, conduct is generally protected by the First Amendment as long as it is \u201cexpressive.\u201d And the Supreme Court has held that economic boycotts are a form of expressive conduct. In NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co., the Court overturned a state-court decision that held activists liable for economic losses that white-owned businesses suffered as a result of a civil rights boycott. The Court held that \u201c[e]ach \u2026 element[] of the boycott is a form of speech or conduct that is ordinarily entitled to protection under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.\u201d\nBut Senator Rubio argues that another, more recent Supreme Court case puts his bill on the right side of the law. In Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, Inc. (FAIR), the Court upheld a law called the Solomon Amendment that withholds federal funds to colleges and universities that prohibit military recruiters from coming on campus. The Court held that a university\u2019s denial of access to military recruiters is not expressive because an observer would have no way of knowing the reason for recruiters\u2019 absence on campus. Only through speech that explains the university\u2019s position, explained the Court, does the conduct become expressive.\nSenator Rubio, however, cannot take refuge in that decision. Anti-BDS laws differ from the Solomon Amendment because they facially retaliate against political opposition to the actions of Israel\u2019s government. The Solomon Amendment did not identify particular reasons that educational institutions might choose to bar military recruiters from campus\u200a\u2014\u200asuch as opposition to the military\u2019s treatment of transgender service members\u200a\u2014\u200aas a trigger for withholding federal dollars. The Combating BDS Act, by contrast, specifically targets entities that \u201cknowingly\u201d exert economic pressure \u201cfor purposes of coercing political action by, or imposing policy positions on, the Government of Israel.\u201d In other words, the bill and the laws that motivate it single out entities for unfavorable treatment specifically because their activity involves the expression of political views concerning Israel\u2019s government.\nOne does not have to agree with the BDS movement\u2019s political goals to recognize the constitutional threat posed by Senator Rubio\u2019s legislation. How would BDS opponents react, for example, if state governments withheld contracts from firms that express favorable views of Israel\u2019s government?

        "title": "Create an Appropriate List of Colleges to Apply to Get Success",
        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Blog \u00bb College Study Tips \u00bb The 5 types of colleges everyone should apply to\nChoosing a college to apply can be quite confusing for most of the students, as you don`t want to make a mistake. We have prepared for you the list of 5 colleges that every student can apply to. The list includes the dream school as well as the low-cost school. It`s important to know what to expect from a new college life.\nThe first place on our list takes the dream school. That\u2019s the one we have been dreaming of since our childhood. Some students may dream to attend the Ivy League Schools, which are unreal to enter. Sometimes the society or our relatives can set such a goal or dream, but this doesn`t mean to surely happen. So, the reality is what you can achieve, having appropriate financial and academical capabilities.\nEven if the chances to enter the establishment of your dream are not high, you can put it on your list and apply. But don`t forget to be realistic and don`t focus much on it.\nThe safety school\nLots of students ignore the safety school, but it`s not correct. This is the school, which you can certainly enter according to your academic record and test scores. So, don`t undervalue this type of schools.\nOf course, it`s not the college you would like to study in, but at the end of applying process, you would like to go somewhere, so this might save you from total failure.\nStudying in college is much more important than entering the best one. In the end, all students get the same bachelor`s degree, and very often the educational establishment plays not a crucial role.\nThe low-cost school\nIt`s a big mistake of almost all students not to take into account the cost of studying. You are to think about everything and choose the college you can afford. Having too much debt, you won`t be able to buy your first car and house.\nFor instance, the private college may indicate that it \u201cmeets full demonstrated need\u201d and this means students are expected to pay as much as they are able to. That`s a good choice for those, who are looking for low-cost schools.\nMoreover, there are community colleges, which offer students to attend one year of studying, and then enter the four-year institution. This helps to save money during the first year of studying. It`s very important to have such a school on your list.\nThe flexible school\nIt`s recommended to apply to flexible schools, which have several schedule options. Maybe there`s online or hybrid education, that`s good for students who work or take care of a family.\nFlexibility is one of the main factors for most students, as more than 40% are over 24 years old. So, they are looking for the school, where they can study along with their work and other personal situations.\nStudents over 24 are described as \u201cnontraditional ones\u201d, still, they are the largest group of students, so online courses or classes at night can assist them to balance between studying and other things they need to do.\nIt may seem not realistic to find a perfect school, but every student can find one. That`s an establishment that fits your possibilities and skills. Look for a college, which is perfect for you depending on your scores and financial abilities.\nIt can be hidden, it can be the place you haven`t even thought of, but it will fit your life, your goals and make your dreams come true.\nStill, you can feel happy with no matter where you apply to. It`s an important decision to choose a college to enter, but it`s more important to make first steps to getting the bachelor`s degree. This will change your life completely.",

        "raw_content": "Title: The role of free trade treaties in British foreign policy, 1859-1871.\nAuthor: Iliasu, Assana.\nBritish free traders of the mid-nineteenth century brought the merchant's ledger to the aid of diplomacy when they claimed that the promotion of unrestricted oonnerc1al intercourse between nations was inseparable from that of universal peace. The application of this assumption in the conduct of British foreign policy between 1859 and. 1871 forms the subject of this study. It is based upon five commercial treaties which Britain concluded with various European countries and of which the well-known Cobclen treaty was the first. Although these brought about a state of virtual free trade among the leading trading countries of western Europe, they were, strictly speaking, contrary to Britain's policy of free trade adopted in 1846. Therefore, after a brief account of the free trade movement and of the free traders' blueprint for foreign policy, the circumstances which led. Britain to modify her post-1846 policy and. conclude the Cobden treaty are discussed in the early part of the study. With the conclusion of that treaty, the foreign Office and the Board of Trade entered a period of intense commercial activity during which they signed four more treaties. Their efforts were not entirely successful and the feeling that they were ill-equipped. for their commercial functions led to a parliamentary inquiry and the subsequent establishment of a commercial]. division within the Foreign Office in 1865. The era of free trade occasioned by the treaties was short-lived; by the 1870a most European countries had reverted to protectionism and the circumstances of this reaction axe considered in the seventh chapter. The idealism enshrined by the treaties stands in sharp contrast to the Bonapartist and. Bismarokian realism of the same decade; the grounds of this contrast and. the influence of the treaties on British foreign policy are discussed in the conclusion.",

        "raw_content": "31 countries took part in this year\u2019s European Day Without A Road Death\nThis year\u2019s Project EDWARD (the European Day Without A Road Death) took place across Europe on Wednesday 19 September. Devised in 2016 by the European Traffic Police Network (TISPOL), the initiative once again aimed to raise awareness of road safety and reduce the number of people killed on European roads.\n\u201cThe figure of 50 deaths on Europe\u2019s roads on Project EDWARD day is below the average of 70. But we must remember that there is a terrible tragedy behind every one of these deaths, as well as a massive economic impact. That is why we must continue to play our parts \u2013 whether as politicians, policy makers, police officers or simply as individual road users \u2013 to take responsibility for our own safety and that of others. Because it is the simple act of taking individual responsibility that would lead to a significant and sustained reduction in road death.\n\u201cWe should, however, be proud of our efforts in raising awareness of road safety through Project EDWARD. The best-ever social media figures confirm that Project EDWARD struck a chord far beyond the road safety sector.\n\u201cThere is no single solution, but we must be willing to look for new ideas, new partners and new technology. But above all, we need to work together to clamp down on dangerous behaviour.\n\u201cWe firmly believe that if each road user can make small changes to reduce risk, then together we can make some big improvements \u2013 and reduce the number of people who die or are seriously injured on Europe\u2019s roads.\n\u201cWith Project EDWARD we have a great resource to motivate road users to reduce risks and improve safety while driving, riding, walking or cycling. A day without a road death should be our goal every day, not just on 19 September.\u201d\nCampaignsEnforcementRoad safety data\n\u2190 4 October 2018, The role of vehicle safety in Vision Zero, Vilnius\n25 Years of the European Transport Safety Council \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Sherry Freeman\nLearning Director, Defense Acquisition University\nSherry Freeman is a Defense Acquisition University (DAU) Learning Director/Professor, Small Business. In this capacity she is responsible for managing and facilitating the instruction of the small business level II and III learning assets for the Department of Defenses' (DoD) acquisition workforce. Prior to joining DAU, she was an Associate Director, in the Department of Defense Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP). In this capacity she served as the Co-chair for managing the Rapid Innovation Program (Fund), and the small business curriculum development lead subject matter expert. Prior to joining the DoD OSBP Sherry was the Director, Office of Small Business Programs for Washington Headquarters Services, a DoD field activity. Previously, she was a Programs Director in the Secretary of the Air Forces' Office of Small Business Programs with primary responsibility for managing the Women-Owned Small Business and Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUB Zone) Programs, and the Director, Office of Small Business Programs for the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center. Sherry began her federal career in Contracting in 1976 as a cooperative education student. With nearly 38 years as a civil servant in contracting and small business, she's procured everything from a pencil to a weapon system to include spending 13 years procuring numerous technologies through the Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Programs. She's held the positions of Director of Acquisitions, Contract Negotiator, Contract Specialist, Contract Administrator, and Contracting Officer. She is Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) level III certified in Contracting, has a master's in Organizational Management from the University of Phoenix, and received her bachelor's in Business Management from Florida State University.\nDiane M. Sidebottom\nDiane M. Sidebottom has recently joined the Defense Acquisition University as the Learning Director for Other Transactions (OTs) Agreements and Grants. Over the course of her career, Ms. Sidebottom has provided training, guidance, and mentoring on the proper use of government contracts, specifically OTs, within the Department of Defense and multiple civilian agencies. Ms. Sidebottom began her government career as the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)'s representative to the task force supporting the Section 800 Panel in 1992. The Panel was one of the first major groups to propose significant acquisition reform legislative initiatives in the early 1990's, with the Panel's multi-volume report becoming the basis for the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act. In 1994, Ms. Sidebottom moved to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) just as that agency was beginning to significantly use both research and prototype OTs. Ms. Sidebottom provided expert advice and guidance to DARPA in her role as Assistant General Counsel on a host of research and prototype projects ranging from small efforts to major weapon systems. In 2003, Ms. Sidebottom joined the newly created Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to assist in the creation of the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) and to guide DHS in the use of OTs. She left government service in 2005 and spent the next thirteen years teaching and consulting on all aspects of government contracting, intellectual property, and OTs until joining DAU in January 2018.\nMs. Sidebottom is a graduate of the University of Colorado (B.A.), the Thomas M. Cooley Law School (J.D.), and the George Washington University Law School (LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law). She holds a Top Secret clearance.\nDOD 101 FOR PRIVATE-SECTOR INNOVATORS\nHave you heard that the Department of Defense (DoD) is looking to do business with \"non-traditional\" entities in research and cutting edge technology industries?

        "raw_content": "The Phoenix Suns were the first team to follow in this NBA Draft in 2018 and more since it became known that they would be the first franchise to choose after winning number one.\nDeAndre Ayton, a center who played at a Phoenix institute and the University of Arizona, seemed predestined to be a new Suns player given his youth (19 years), physical abilities (2.16 meters tall and 2.27 in span) ) and previous performance (more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game in the NCAA).\nHowever, the arrival of Igor Kokoskov to the bench of the Suns created doubts since the Serbian coach directed Luka Doncic to the gold of the Eurobasket of 2017 with the Real Madrid being one of the outstanding pieces of the Slovenia national team.\nThe debate between Ayton and Doncic was installed in Phoenix and although everything points to the chosen will be the Bahamian center, could you choose the two ?.\nRyan McDonough, general manager of the Suns, said the franchise does not rule out the option of getting another selection of the Draft through a transfer. For this they would offer their \u2018pick\u2019 number 16 and other assets. Depending on what those other assets are, they could get a higher or lower election.Seeing the template of the Suns, unless they offer a value of the type Josh Jackson, unlikely thing, it does not seem that they have many chances to reach an agreement.\nFor its part, the Toronto Raptors are also pending to get some selection, since this year they have none. According to Marc Stein, of the New York Times, they aspire to get a Top 10 and could involve any player of their team in a transfer.\nIn the Canadian franchise they are obsessed with getting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a Toronto-born base, who averaged 14.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game in the NCAA with the University of Kentucky. Its 1.98 meters in height and 2.11 meters in span make it have influence in all aspects of the game.\nTags: Basketball, NBA, Phoenix Suns",

        "raw_content": "Popillia japonica Newman\nThe Japanese beetle is known to feed on over 250 different species of plants. They are especially fond of roses, grapes, smartweed, over-ripe and decaying fruit, soybean foliage, and corn silks.\nThe adult Japanese beetle is shiny metallic green with bronze-colored wing covers. Along each side of the abdomen are six tufts of white hair. The adult is about 1/2 inch (13 mm) long. The larva is a large [1/2 to over 1 inch (13-25 mm) long] grub that may be easily confused with May/June beetle or masked chafer grubs.\nJapanese beetle eggs are laid in the soil during July and August. The larvae hatch and pass through three instars while feeding on decaying vegetation and grass roots. The grubs overwinter deep in the soil, pupating in the early summer, and emerging from the ground as adults in late June and early July.\nCorn leaf skeletonized by beetles\nAdults pose the primary threat to corn during pollination. Beetles may clip back corn silks and prevent proper pollination of corn ears. Some leaf feeding may occur, causing damaged leaves to appear skeletonized or lacy. However, such leaf feeding injury is seldom of economic importance. See \"White Grubs\" for larval feeding and damage information.\nCorn crop infested with beetles\nIf Japanese beetles are noticeable in a corn field, determine the extent of the infestation. Check 5 randomly selected plants in each of 5 areas of the field for Japanese beetle adults, recording the numbers found on each plant. Also estimate and record the length of silks remaining on each plant (e.g., 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8 inch, etc.), as well as the maturity of the silks (e.g., no silks, green silks, some brown silks, or all brown silks). Finally, determine if pollen is still being shed by shaking the tassels of the 25 plants sampled. When all 25 plants have been examined, determine the average number of Japanese beetles per plant, the amount of silk remaining, the maturity of the silks, and whether pollen is still being shed.\nNote if beetles are found only in a certain area(s) of the field. They are often present only in the outer 12 to 15 rows of a field. Also be aware that if corn silks are being clipped in a field where beetles are present, such damage may be a result of corn rootworm beetle feeding and/or Japanese beetle feeding. Therefore, check plants for rootworm beetles, as well as Japanese beetles.\nControl may be advisable if silks are clipped back to less than 1/2 inch (13 mm) when less than 50% of the plants have been pollinated and Japanese beetles are still present and actively feeding.",

        "raw_content": "Conveying Challenges Facing the Food Industry\nColin Fairweather, CEO, Facet Engineering\nThe ever-increasing demand for automation in food production often presents a number of interesting challenges in transporting goods from one point to another within a production facility.\nEach product application is unique and brings with it a unique set of material handling challenges. It is for this exact reason that the design of a conveyor or material handling solution needs to be tailored to meet the precise requirement of both the product and environment in which it is being conveyed. In this article we look at a few aspects that can be a challenge when developing conveying solutions for the food industry.\nA critical factor to consider in the design of a conveying system is the environment in which the product is being handled. The working conditions under which a conveyor operates must be taken into account in order to ensure that maximum output capacities are achieved, and product integrity is maintained.\nSome examples of unique environments include: ovens operating under very high temperatures, freezers and cold rooms where maintaining extremely cold temperatures is required, controlled environments such as food and pharmaceutical plants, washdown and caustic environments where water and chemicals are used regularly for hygiene purposes, highly controlled environments such as cleanrooms and explosive environments.\nThe physical characteristics and nature of the product or item to be conveyed determines how it should be handled and therefore the type of conveyor that will best suit the application. If a product is fragile and may be prone to breakage, then gentle handling is required to ensure that damage is kept to a minimum. The same would apply to products that are prone to spillage. Product spillage requires clean-ups, which result in unnecessary downtime. Conveyors used to transport these types of foodstuffs need to be designed to specifically prevent or reduce the likelihood of spillage.\nSome products are characterized as being more difficult to handle. These include products that are moist and sticky, and prone to smearing or bulk dry powders that are prone to caking or packing. In these instances, conveyors will need to be manufactured with a number of features and configurations to overcome the potential complications that may arise in the handling process of these types of products.\nProducts that are highly abrasive are particularly harsh on the equipment used to handle them; and as a result, require conveyors and handling equipment to be of a more robust construction, and resistant to wear and tear. The maintenance requirements and need for replacement parts of which will most likely be much more than non-abrasive products, so this must be factored into the running costs of the plant.\nFood processing plants are generally quite corrosive environments. This is due to a few factors; the chemical properties of certain foodstuffs and the use of water and chemicals during the cleaning process.\nFoods may be corrosive simply due to their chemical composition, particularly those that are highly acidic such as citrus, jams, sauces and pickled foods. Also, some food products are treated with certain chemicals for preservative purposes, which can be highly corrosive to metals.\nThe food industry is particularly stringent in its requirements for hygiene and sanitation in food production plants. Large amounts of water and, with it very often, cleaning chemicals are used in daily cleaning procedures within a processing plant. In addition, water is also used extensively in steam heating, cooling, and cooking. Water is one of the most corrosive elements within a production plant, and although its use cannot be avoided, its impact can be reduced. Conveying equipment should be designed and manufactured with corrosion-reducing attributes such as smooth surfaces, minimal projections, protective coatings and the use of corrosion-resistant materials.\nThe control of dust within a food processing plant is a critical challenge that must be addressed. A number of foods produce fines and dust when handled. This dust can pose a serious health hazard for people working within the production plant, as exposure to fine dust can cause skin and even respiratory conditions. Some substances, such as flours and sugars, when moved, also produce dust that can be highly explosive. This creates a safety risk that can have potentially disastrous consequences. Under these conditions, it is vital to ensure that conveyors are design to be fully enclosed and supplied with necessary dust extraction systems to remove dangerous dust particles.\nSome food processes that involve the blending or mixing of products require the homogeneity of the mixture to be maintained, particularly when the product is being transferred from one process to another, such as from mixing to packaging. It is vital that the right type of conveying equipment is used in order to ensure that the mixture integrity is preserved.\nOther issues in a food production plant many include potential safety risks, when handling hazardous or explosive products. Sanitation and product contamination may also be an important concern.\nUltimately it is critical that the correct type of conveyor be used for the specific product application. It is vital to work with conveyor suppliers that have experience within the food industry and understand the many challenges that may be encountered in food production; who can advise you on best practices and are able to custom design conveyor systems and solutions that are tailored to your exact requirements. This will ensure better and more consistent end-product quality, less downtime and that the equipment lasts longer.\nFacet Engineering (Pty) Ltd | 011 769 1168 | sales@facetengineering.co.za | www.facetengineering.co.za\nBucket Elevators & components\nThe importance of grain cleaning\nHarvested grain is usually fairly clean. Usually being the operative word, as this is dependent on a number of critical factors; the correct settings and capacity being used, the grain being dry, no heat damage taking place and kernels not being broken during the harvesting process \u2013 many factors, which are difficult to control. In addition the quality of grain begins to deteriorate as soon as it has been harvested, so it is imperative that dirt and impurities are removed to delay the deterioration process and ensure that the stored grain is of a high quality for end users.\nIt is therefore highly recommended that harvested grain is passed through a grain cleaner and/or pre-cleaner in order to ensure that the quality of the grain is optimised before it goes into storage.\nPre-cleaning grain before storage plays two vital roles:\nAdding value to the grain through the removal of dirt, impurities and damaged particles.\nEnsuring a longer life of the grain whilst it is in storage.\nThe importance of cleaning grain before storage is important for a few reasons. Foreign matter also referred to as fines (any dirt or particles smaller than the grain) can collect in areas inside the storage silo. These pockets of fines can cause hot spots inside the silo, which has a negative impact on the aeration of the grain. This can also result in moisture collecting in these areas, which can cause rot, mould and other damage to the grain.\nThe additional impurities also take up valuable storage space inside the silo \u2013 an unnecessary cost that can be avoided if the grain has been cleaned before being taken into storage. The impurities can also contain harmful or poisonous seeds or particles which can cause further damage, negatively affecting the quality of the grain.\nClean grain is of a higher quality and therefore fetches a better price than grain that is full of impurities. Even if a grain producer does not have their own storage facilities, clean grain will bring a higher return on investment for the producer. Grain that is rejected by a buyer or co-op usually results in the costs of cleaning and re-submitting to be carried by the seller, costs which can ultimately be avoided.\nGrain cleaners are the first and most important piece of equipment used to clean any type of grain, seed or beans. When analysing all of the elements that can have an impact on grain quality, it makes good business sense for a grain producer to seriously consider procuring their own grain cleaner. It is estimated that the cost of a grain cleaner can generally be recouped over two to three seasons, making it a viable purchase, even for smaller grain producers.\nInnovation in the field of grain cleaning\nFacet Engineering is an innovator in the field of grain handling and cleaning, and has been for over 30 years. Over this period they have developed a range of conveyors and grain cleaners that can process grain at capacities of as high as 120 tonnes per hour.\nTheir range of grain cleaners includes four models, all locally manufactured in South Africa in their state-of-the-art workshop facility. All these models can be used to clean a variety of different grains, either for pre-cleaning or fine cleaning. This is achieved by virtue of the ability to change the settings on the machines as well as fitting different screen sizes on the removable screens.\nThese easily-operated machines work on the tried and tested principle of vibrating screens and air extraction to separate the grain from impurities. These impurities include anything larger than the grain such as sticks (also known as overs), and anything smaller than the grain like broken kernels or sand, as well as anything lighter than the grain such as husks and dirt (also known as fines).\nAll the models can be supplied with an optional air extraction fan, galvanised ducting and receiving cyclone for the collection and recovery of all of the light impurities.\nFacet Engineering also offers other machines for the cleaning, separating and sizing of grain, seed and cereals. These include:\nDestoner \u2013 used to separate and remove stones which are of a similar size to the seed or grain kernel. This machine works on the principle of separating by specific density or weight of the particles.\nGravity table \u2013 another machine in the range which separates grain into different fractions based on specific densities. This machine is ideal for the removal of kernels which are rotten inside or eaten away.\nElectronic colour sorters \u2013 highly specialised machines designed to separate or grade products such as seed, grain, beans and nuts, by virtue of their colour differences which can be configured/calibrated using pre-programmed colour parameters.\nFacet Engineering\u2019s process division works extensively in the Agri-food sector and offers solutions for: storage, conveying, cleaning, separating, grading, mixing, sorting and bagging of grain, seed and cereal products. Facet Engineering\u2019s experience within the Agri-food processing industry spans more than 30 years. They have a wealth of knowledge in developing solutions for the handling and processing of grain, seed and cereal products.\nThe benefits of using local manufacturers\nAs more and more locally produced products continue to be displaced by imports, one South African company is proving that local is as good as international any day. Colin Fairweather, CEO of Facet Engineering, talks about the importance of procuring local.\nThere is no denying that manufacturing in South Africa is under pressure. It\u2019s not an easy environment to operate in; with ever increasing imports and a tendency to look to the East for bulk handling solutions. The stagnant economy has also not helped matters much. Never before has it been so important to boost local industry.\n\u201cThere are many benefits in using local manufacturers,\u201d says Fairweather, whose team has been working on a major contract for the past few months replacing a host of imported conveyors.\n\u201cWe were called in after the company continued to have challenges with the conveyors that were just not performing. The contractors had all left the site and returned to their home countries,\u201d he says citing the first and probably most obvious benefit \u2013 having a local team available at a moment\u2019s notice.\nWorking with local manufacturers from the beginning builds relationships that ensure long-term solutions are cost-effective rather than bringing in suppliers to troubleshoot.\n\u201cIn that instance one is literally putting out fires. Sometimes the challenges are fixable through a few adjustments or some basic changes, but often the solution is to replace completely. That involves designing, manufacturing, installing and commissioning the entire system from scratch again. It is a costly process,\u201d he says.\nWhilst many companies have been looking internationally for bulk handling solutions, local companies are as capable of delivering the required equipment as their overseas counterparts.\n\u201cI truly believe that we are able to provide not only the same quality, if not better, products but also at a highly competitive cost.\u201d\nFacet Engineering has been in business for the past 27 years, he says, and has proved their longevity in the market as well as the quality of their products.\n\u201cWe have worked hard towards being able to deliver a service that can meet the needs of any of our clients. Our systems work well because we understand the local conditions and we are able to tailor-make to the specific requirements of our customers.\u201d\nThe tough economic environment has undoubtedly forced many businesses to cut costs and price has become the major driving force in the market.\n\u201cCheap imports are available but these need to be weighed up against quality, the cost of maintenance or even a complete stop in production,\u201d says Colin. \u201cOur products, when compared internationally to the same quality and workmanship, are completely price competitive. At the same time the availability of spare parts, maintenance and servicing becomes more affordable if all is procured locally.\u201d\nWhilst the initial cost might have been marginally cheaper, the cost of waiting for spares, communication problems or even finding a local team to step in in the interim all adds up.\nWhile there has been a tendency to procure internationally, according to Fairweather, there does seem to be a shift back towards utilising local suppliers.\n\u201cWe have been extremely busy over the past few years despite the slow economy. This is good news because it does imply that there is still faith in the local manufacturing sector.\u201d\nWhen it comes to aftersales service, local manufacturers have the upper hand.\n\u201cAftersales is critical in the bulk handling sector. A breakdown can stop production for days and it has a massive cost impact,\u201d he says. \u201cLocal teams are quick to respond and can address the problem much faster, which means loss of production is minimised.\u201d\nService first and foremost\nFor Facet Engineering the principles in bulk handling have been tried and tested over many years. \u201cFamiliarising oneself with a variety of systems means that you can problem-solve much easier,\u201d says Fairweather. \u201cWe have found that where we are involved from the get go right through to commissioning our conveyors don\u2019t give hassles. In fact they don\u2019t break down. We are able to deliver that critical aftersales service continuously and maintain the equipment to the right standard and that is what makes the difference.\u201d\n\u201cService has become a differentiating factor. We believe in finding solutions for our clients that meet their exact needs and delivering a service that allows them to focus on their core business and not worry about the equipment \u2013 that is our job. We pride ourselves on that service.\u201d\nFacet Engineering has found it vital for the business to diversify and to work in a variety of sectors. \u201cThis approach has been beneficial and we have seen an increase in our agri processing work in the last few years, as this sector is one that is gaining ground in the country,\u201d says Fairweather. \u201cWe are also able to offer a diversified service to our clients. We have an inhouse design team that can develop bespoke solutions or we can supply standard options. We then manufacture, install and commission the equipment and have a full after-sales service and maintenance programme that we implement.\u201d\nBeing able to offer such complete service is important as it does make us more competitive.\u201d\nFacet Engineering ensures that they stay up to date with the latest industry developments and trends. All of their systems are updated annually and the company continuously invests in machinery for their factory so that they are always in the position to deliver the best solutions available.\u201d\nWith several sectors under strain at the moment \u2013 mining due to low commodity prices and the agri sector being hit hard by the drought \u2013 Facet Engineering has started to implement their growth strategy looking beyond Southern Africa.\n\u201cThere are some good opportunities on the African continent and we have the expertise and the ability to service the market well. We completed a large project in Tanzania \u2013 an agri-procesing plant \u2013 and are installing a number of conveyor systems within the plant,\u201d says Fairweather. \u201cBut we are not only looking to Africa, but also other regions in the world. We recently supplied conveyor systems to an Australian company and the project went off very well. This is a market that we are actively looking at engaging with more.\u201d\nFacet Engineering recently opened a branch in Cape Town. \u201cEven though we are growing outside of the South African border we also need to ensure that we are servicing the local market well. It is important that we have a presence in Cape Town and the new branch does cement our foot print in that part of the country, especially when it comes to the agri-processing business.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a move that will bode the company well in the long run.\u201d\nAutomation ensures product consistency; this important, particularly for quality control of the final end-product. Incorrect ratios of inputs can result in an overpriced product or a product that is of an inferior quality or nutritional value.\nHighly sophisticated computer software is used in automated process plants and allows for close monitoring of all activity in the plant. It also enables highly accurate reports to be generated which are used for record-keeping and quality control purposes. It is absolutely vital to be able to closely check the plant\u2019s input (raw materials) and output (final finished products) levels.\nAutomation creates more scope for altering all the parameters; both production inputs and outputs. It allows for greater control throughout the plant. PLCs throughout the plant enable instantaneous fault-finding, particularly with the electrical components of the plant such as motors and gearboxes. Product levels and operating capacities throughout the entire plant can be carefully monitored.\nPlant automation has also developed to such an extent that the system allows for remote access to the plant, particularly with fault and capacity reporting. This allows for off-site monitoring and management.\nAutomation in production results in a significant reduction in labour costs. Labour costs continue to be one of the most expensive inputs for the manufacturing sector. With an uncompetitive and unreliable force, often prone to unrest and inconsistency, labour problems are often costly and impact heavily on the production capacity of a plant. By reducing the need for workers, many of the costs involved are substantially reduced.\nBy having more control on production inputs allows production costs to be reduced Automation ensures the plant runs as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible. It essentially becomes cheaper to produce the end product, which creates opportunities for an increase in competitiveness, growth and profit for the product manufacturer.\nThe reduction in production and labour costs also greatly assists in the automated process plant to effectively pay for itself in a relatively short time period. The initial capital expenditure is offset fairly quickly by the cost- and time-saving benefits of the plant.\nAutomated process plants are fully customisable and are designed around the client\u2019s specific processing capacity requirements.",

This emphasis on philanthropic events is integral to the loyal following the Nob Hill Gazette has built over the years.\nA native of Elizabeth, New Jersey, Lehrman studied speech therapy at Syracuse University and education at NYU. She was the first female sales rep at Guardian Life Insurance Company in both the Newark and New York offices and made the company\u2019s \u201cMillion Dollar Roundtable\u201d in her first year. She later entered the publishing world at the Gannett Newspaper Group, Jewish Community Voice, and Catholic Star Herald.\nAfter moving to San Francisco in 1981, Lois knocked on the door of the Nob Hill Gazette. Founded in 1978, this \u2018niche\u2019 publication was the brainchild of PR whiz Gardner Mein who was convinced of the brilliance of a paper for his pals atop Nob Hill.\nLegend has it that Lois inquired as to whether his paper made money. \u201cNo,\u201d said Mein. Lehrman asked if that was by design. Gardner replied again in the negative then asked, \u201cDo you know how to do that?\u201d\nSocialite Denise Hale and Michael Murphy.\nWilkes Bashford, Robin Collins and Ed Conlon.\nTom Hartle of Hartle Media, Publisher of 7\u00d77 magazine.\nThe Dessert.

        "raw_content": "Kodak, Lockheed Martin go analog\n\"The ultimate archives\"\nAlthough government scientists work on an electronic archive designed to store millions of government records in digital form, imaging experts at Eastman Kodak Co. still say the best way to store digital documents is to convert them to \"analog media,\" such as paper or microfilm.\n\"It's simple, straightforward, not so elegant, but it works,\" said Cliff Hanaoka who markets digital preservation technology for Kodak's document imaging division in Rochester, N.Y.\nKodak announced March 14 that it is teaming with Lockheed Martin Corp. to sell systems for storing digital records to government agencies and commercial buyers. The companies say they will merge Kodak's imaging and digital preservation expertise with Lockheed Martin's experience at integrating large government information systems.\nBut the pair won't try to duplicate the work government scientists have done to develop a digital archive in which digital documents can be stored for centuries in digital form and retrieved and read by whatever technology exists years in the future.\nInstead, the two companies said they will market \"complete digital preservation systems capable of safely storing and retrieving digital or paper-based records utilizing analog media.\"\n\"Analog media\" means \"human readable\" media, and that means paper or microfilm, Hanaoka said.\nMost government documents are \"born digital,\" meaning they are created on computers. And many are managed digitally, meaning they are changed or processed on computers. But when it is time for storage, most documents are not supposed to change, and the best way to ensure that is to commit them to paper or microfilm, he said.\nIf a document is stored in a format that leaves it \"processable,\" users in the future will have no assurance that the document has not been changed, Hanaoka said.\nConverting digital documents to analog also avoids the costly \"migration\" problem of having to transfer digital documents from format to format as technology evolves.\nThe Kodak-Lockheed team's reliance on \"analog media\" is a bit of a technological retreat from digital records storage efforts headed by the National Archives and Records Administration.\nWorking with the San Diego Super Computer Center and the Georgia Tech Research Institute, NARA announced last year it had developed a process called \"persistent object preservation\" that promises to store digital documents by stripping them of the formats in which they were created and storing them in a way that will allow them to be called up by whatever software and hardware is being used in the future.\nPersistent object preservation is intended to preserve documents in usable form for hundreds of years, NARA officials say.\nNARA is spending $130 million to build a test version of the digital archive. It is to be operating by 2004 or 2005.\nBut the Archives itself has in some cases opted to use microfilm as a long-term storage medium. Completed questionnaires from the 2000 census, for example, must be kept secret until 2072, when the Archives intends to put them online. Until then, they are being preserved on microfilm to avoid the high cost of migrating them as often as once a decade to new digital formats.",

        "raw_content": "At $42.7, Is It Time To Buy AZZ Inc (NYSE:AZZ)?\nAZZ Inc (NYSE:AZZ), a electrical company based in United States, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the NYSE, rising to the highs of $51.75 and falling to the lows of $41.7. This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether AZZ\u2019s current trading price of $42.7 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let\u2019s take a look at AZZ\u2019s outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. See our latest analysis for AZZ\nWhat is AZZ worth?\nAccording to my valuation model, AZZ seems to be fairly priced at around 4% above my intrinsic value, which means if you buy AZZ today, you\u2019d be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe the company\u2019s true value is $40.98, then there isn\u2019t really any room for the share price grow beyond what it\u2019s currently trading. Although, there may be an opportunity to buy in the future. This is because AZZ\u2019s beta (a measure of share price volatility) is high, meaning its price movements will be exaggerated relative to the rest of the market. If the market is bearish, the company\u2019s shares will likely fall by more than the rest of the market, providing a prime buying opportunity.\nWhat does the future of AZZ look like?\nNYSE:AZZ Future Profit Feb 12th 18\nInvestors looking for growth in their portfolio may want to consider the prospects of a company before buying its shares. Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let\u2019s also take a look at the company\u2019s future expectations. AZZ\u2019s earnings over the next few years are expected to increase by 45.14%, indicating a highly optimistic future ahead. This should lead to more robust cash flows, feeding into a higher share value.\nAre you a shareholder? AZZ\u2019s optimistic future growth appears to have been factored into the current share price, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven\u2019t considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at the stock? Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuates below the true value?\nAre you a potential investor? If you\u2019ve been keeping tabs on AZZ, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the positive outlook is encouraging for the company, which means it\u2019s worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.\nPrice is just the tip of the iceberg. Dig deeper into what truly matters \u2013 the fundamentals \u2013 before you make a decision on AZZ. You can find everything you need to know about AZZ in the latest infographic research report.

The journal covers dance, theatre, music, performance art, visual art, popular entertainment, media, sports, rituals, and performance in politics and everyday life.\nTDR:The Drama Review was founded in 1955 by Robert W. Corrigan as the \"Carlton Drama Review\" (so named because Corrigan was a faculty member at Carlton College). Corrigan took TDR with him to Tulane University in 1957 where he renamed it the Tulane Drama Review. In 1962, Corrigan left Tulane for Carnegie Mellon University and Richard Schechner became editor. Schechner left Tulane for New York University in 1967 taking TDR with him renaming it TDR: The Drama Review. Erika Munk succeeded Schechner as editor in 1969. Michael Kirby became editor in 1970. In 1986, Kirby resigned and Schechner resumed TDR's editorship. Schechner continues as editor as of 2010. TDR is owned by New York University and is published in hard copy and online by the MIT Press.\nFrom 2011 onwards, TDR's point of view will be expanded by means of a consortium of editors: Jill Dolan and Stacy Wolf ( Princeton University), Rebecca Schneider ( Brown University), and William (Huizhu) Sun ( Shanghai Theatre Academy).

Over 70% of the gin produced in the UK is made right here in Scotland and now we have the Scotland Gin Trail. With that in mind we just had to arrange a little excursion to the home of Caorunn Small Batch Gin Distillery, just 10 minutes away in Cromdale right here in the Cairngorms National Park. It was an excellent tour hosted by our friendly guide Emma who was so knowledgeable about the interesting and colourful history of gin. She was telling us that at one time there was no licensing for the production of gin and so everyday folk were giving it a go and making a real hash of it. So much so that people would be drinking an unrefined product and then lazing around all day, hence the name \u2018mothers ruin\u2019. No wonder it went out of fashion for a while! But once licensing was introduced the quality of the spirit soared and a few hundred years later it is now a runaway story of popularity and tastiness.\nPremium and small batch Caorunn gin is handmade using a unique blend of 11 botanicals, most of which are foraged by hand from the hills behind the distillery. You really get a hands on feel for the ingredients on the tour. There is a wonderful section where you can smell and taste all of the botanicals that go into the gin, which was a really good laugh. At the end of the tour Emma knocked us up a fabulous G&T garnished with apples from the very tree that inspired their gin recipe. So whilst you can visit the Speyside for the wonderfully world renowned Malt Whisky Trail, you can now also take in the tastes of the Scotland Gin Trail too. So bottoms up everybody!",

        "raw_content": "Genetics and Type 2 Diabetes\nWhen I first diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes (TD2) I immediately started to research the scientific literature for any clear genetic explanation of this highly prevalent disease, but I was unable to find any clear link between a specific genetic loci and occurrence of the disease; although, there were several papers making such links they were far from proving any such link. However, a recent article in Scientific American (October 2015, pp56-59) has suggested one possible explanation of the growth of TD2 and a genetic cause that predates the evolution of Homo Sapiens! Reflecting on this article I can understand how I would not have come across this explanation as the research has always been linked to a different disorder \u2013 Gout, or the \u201cdisease of Kings\u201d.\nGout is caused by a build up of uric acid in the bloodstream, which can then crystallise in capillary vessels leading to immense pain. Uric acid is swiftly removed from most animals through breakdown by an enzyme called Uricase, but humans and many primates lack a functional form of the gene responsible for production of this enzyme. Apparently, the loss of function of this gene occurred some 15+ million years ago when a series of nonsense mutations inactivated the gene (Oda et al. Mol Biol Evol 2002;19:640\u201353). The article proposes that the selective pressure for the loss of Uricase activity begins when apes moved from Africa to Europe, which at first provided a plentiful environment with a sub-tropical climate providing bountiful supplies of fruit for their diet (particularly figs).\nHowever, this period saw the beginning of climate cooling and this drier cooler weather changed the European vegetation from a rich broadleaf forested area toward a savanna-like environment, with much less fruit available and much of this fruit (especially figs)now becoming seasonal and quite scarce during winter. As cooling continued these European apes began to starve, therefore, the loss of the Uricase gene must have provided a selective advantage (Hayashi et al. Cell Biochem Biophys 2000;32:123\u20139). The normal mammalian reaction to periods of starvation is to produce fat (e.g. for an energy supply during hibernation, or to provide sufficient energy to survive winters). However, during prolonged periods of starvation foraging for food must continue, especially for primates that do not hibernate, and for this to be successful glucose is required by the brain. This is achieved by an \u201cinsulin-resistance\u201d effect. The clue to this selective advantage lies with the fruit-rich diet that the apes in both Europe and Africa were consuming \u2013 digestion of fructose leads to production of uric acid and researchers have found that uric acid can trigger this switch to \u201cinsulin-resistance\u201d. The researchers proposal is that the loss of the Uricase gene led to a gradual development of the ability to switch to converting fructose to fat providing a better chance to survive food shortages during winter. They also propose that these European apes may have brought this major selective advantage back to Africa as they migrated back to avoid cooling winters, they must have out-competed African apes and thus left the mutated Uricase gene that has been acquired by humans.\nIf this explanation of these genetic events is correct, we have a genetic explanation of TD2 \u2013 sometimes known as insulin-resistance \u2013 and what we have now is that processed foods, which often contain corn syrup, or table sugar, that are extremely rich in fructose, are being turned into fat because of the elevated uric acid levels in our bloodstream. It would be exciting to think that new drugs could be developed against uric acid production, which might help reduce obesity and TD2. Genetic Engineering may even hold the possibility of restoring Uricase production in the distant future. In the meantime, as I have said before we must aim to increase regular exercise, reduce sugar intake and aim to make fresh fruit our only supply of fructose. The antioxidants available in fresh fruit help to reduce many side effects of excess uric acid and reduce multiple diseases.\nHowever, from a personal viewpoint I am left with something of a mystery as this genetic explanation does not explain familial occurrences of TD2, something I have personal experience of! The best link between TD2 occurrences in families and an observed disorder is that TD2 is tightly linked to \u03b2-cell dysfunction in the pancreas (O\u2019Rahilly, S.P. et al. The Lancet , Volume 328 , Issue 8503 , 360 \u2013 364), which is associated with insulin resistance (Kahn, 2003. Diabetologia 46, 3-19), but the nature of this genetic link is complex and confused and involves amyloidosis of insulin. A detailed description of this will follow.\nLiveJournal Tags: Health,Communication,Disease,Gene,Genetics,Food,Protein,Uric Acid,Science\nLeave a comment Posted in Science Blog Tagged Beta-Cell, Communication, Diabetes, Disease, DNA, Enzymes, Food, Gene, Health, Insulin, Research, Review, Science",

There are 28 autochthonous cases and 7 with travel antecedents. Yellow fever also worries about falls in Brazil. The nation's health ministry warned that there is virus circulation of the disease in Santa Fe, Salta, Misiones and Formosa. There are 28 autochthonous cases and 7 with travel antecedents. Yellow fever also worries about falls in Brazil.\nThe epidemiological director warned that the dengue virus had viral circulation in the country and issued an epidemiological warning for the 28 autochthonous cases so far confirmed in Santa Fe, Salta, Formosa and Misiones. The national health system also raised its protection against yellow fever in cases in the Brazilian states of S\u00e3o Paulo and Paran\u00e1 (the virus was also detected in monkeys in the jungle areas of the state of Santa Catarina).\n\"Health clubs are urged to intensify epidemiological surveillance of cases and raise awareness of the clinical suspicion of dengue and other arboviruses, including yellow fever, in people who have been at risk,\" the statement said.\nThe latest epidemiological bulletin in the care portfolio, which does not include update that Santa Fe Health Ministry did this Thursday, indicates that there is localized dengue serotype 1 transmission (DEN-1) in the city of Santa Fe and in the Salta and Oran and Tartagal sites. \"There are also isolated cases of dengue virus serotype DEN-1 in Puerto Iguaz\u00fa (Misiones), in the city of Buenos Aires and in Ingeniero Ju\u00e1rez (Formosa),\" the report says.\nIn total, there are 28 confirmed cases that do not register travel history. In addition, there are 7 positive cases of dengue in people traveling to areas where the disease is endemic, such as Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. The health secretariat reported that there were no cases of other arboviruses (viruses that transmit arthropods, such as mosquitoes) that produce diseases such as Zika and chicungu\u00f1a.\nYou have to read\nThe Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) warned Brazil is going through the season with increased yellow fever transmission. \"The expansion of the historic range of yellow fever transmission to previously considered risk-free areas caused two transmission waves: the first in 2016-2017, with 778 cases in humans (262 deaths), and the second in 2017-2018, with 1,376 cases. in humans (483 deaths), \"said the Nation's Ministry of Health.\nIn the spring and so far this summer, 12 cases have been confirmed in Brazil, including 6 deaths, in the municipalities of El Dorado (9 cases), Jacupiranga (1 case), Iporanga (1 case) and Cananeia (1 case), all those in the southern state of S\u00e3o Paulo, mostly rural worker. Paran\u00e1's health secretary reported that the tests performed on dead monkeys in Antonina on the Paran\u00e1 coast were positive for yellow fever.\n\"These cases, as well as the confirmation of viral circulation in the state of Paran\u00e1 and several suspicions of episodes of monkeys near our border (unconfirmed) mark the beginning of what may be a third wave and the outbreak of the outbreak towards the Southeast and southern part of the country. an increased risk for the border regions in Argentina, mainly the provinces of Misiones and Corrientes, which share similar eco-epidemiological conditions and for travelers visiting Brazil who have not been vaccinated, said the Ministry of Health.\nPeople who are traveling to areas in Brazil where cases have been reported (Rio de Janeiro beach area \u2013 especially Angra Dos Reis \u2013 for example, and also San Pablo) should be vaccinated. The national vaccination calendar contains a dose of vaccine for boys and girls aged 18 months living in the province of Misiones and Formosa and some departments in Corrientes, Chaco, Salta and Jujuy, with 11 year olds. The vaccine should be applied preferably 10 days before the travel date and a single dose is sufficient to protect yourself throughout your life. In the case of travelers, the vaccination must be indicated by the physician individually according to the actual risk of infection in the area to be visited and personal conditions.\nThe fall in Col\u00f3n\nProvincial Director of Health Promotion and Prevention of Santa Fe, Julio Befani, confirmed to El Litoral that the new investigations that will be made to Columbus players will be the key to confirming or excluding the disease. Yesterday, the Ministry of Health reported that the first analysis had a negative result, but it usually happens that patients suffering from dengue take several days -five, roughly to generate antibodies detected by laboratory tests. That is why the second blood test is so important that it must be done according to the protocol established by the National Health Secretariat.",

        "raw_content": "Victory Gardens DC is Growing Food and Community\nVictory Gardens DC, a new urban farm in Washington, D.C., grew out of one young couple\u2019s desire to serve city residents in a practical way. Alex Shek, an entrepreneur, and his wife Julia, a nurse, decided that the best way to help the people in their Southeast neighborhood is to provide healthy food to those who can\u2019t afford it. With Alex\u2019s business know how, Julia\u2019s knowledge of healthy food and cooking, and the aid of some talented friends, they started an urban farm in their own neighborhood. Neighbors, local businesses, churches and contributors on indigogo.com have provided labor and money, and the couple\u2019s dream is now a reality.\nFood Tank: What inspired you to start Victory Gardens DC?\nAS: My wife and I moved to the city from Northern Virginia with the idea of ministry and outreach in our heart, and we wanted to fill a need, a practical need, and how practical is food? The ability to find organic food or good fresh fruits and vegetables at a low cost in the city is really challenging, and I hope we can make an impact through providing food for those that can\u2019t afford it.\nD.C. is a city that has a lot of alleys. In the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s these used to be alley dwellings where low income families lived. They have since been shut down and are now unused vacant spaces. We think it\u2019s a wonderful opportunity to turn these vacant lots into beautiful common spaces for the community where people can work together.\nFT: It sounds like you already had people around you who could help you develop the farm. Can you tell me about them?\nAS: Yes, my wife Julia, and Kathryn, who handles writing and public relations, lives in household with us and is very interested in outreach, supporting neighbors and being a part of the community as well as making an impact. My friend Matt, who works in real estate development, has always had a heart for organic foods and providing support for families in need. My brother in law Carlos is helping us with landscape design.\nA good friend of mine I\u2019ve known since I was 12 years old, Peter, is a farm manager in Virginia. He\u2019s been the catalyst for getting this thing off the ground. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, and without him and his approval of the project and the mission I think it would be a lot more challenging for us to get it off the ground, but with him it\u2019s been pretty smooth. We\u2019ve had a clear direction on how to run and operate things, and he\u2019s put a lot of good systems in order for us. It\u2019s all come together and with a core group of people that really understand, really love the mission and that are flexible, able-bodied and ready to dig in.\nFT: What made you call your farm Victory Garden DC?\nAS: My wife came up with the name. We were talking about urban agriculture, farming or gardening, and the whole concept of providing not only for our family but for others. Victory gardens, the World War II effort [to garden in yards, empty lots, and rooftops to provide food for communities and free up trucks to serve the war effort], was an influence on my wife. She thought that it had a really positive meaning and that our farm can become something that can be victorious, that can support people, provide for them.\nFT: What are your goals for Victory Gardens DC?\nAS: Short term goals are to provide as much fresh organic food, fruits, vegetables and herbs for low income families in the city as we can. We want to start a CSA program that is completely free to families that are low income.\nOur long-term goals? We\u2019d like to have these farms all around the city, two, three, four, more. If the idea catches, and the right people are behind us to support the project and the mission, the sky\u2019s the limit. I can see us creating these in neighborhoods across the city, and we\u2019d like to be a model for that.\nWe\u2019d love to hire more low-income residents of the city\u2013I\u2019m an entrepreneur by nature, I own a couple different companies, and I\u2019d like to put a work program together to teach people not only about entrepreneurship but practical farming hand skills.\nWe would also like to be a center of activity for communities. The farm has already brought our neighborhood together in ways that I really didn\u2019t think it would. We\u2019ve had neighbors donate not only financially but also their time, labor and equipment. It\u2019s become this sharing space where we can support one another and work together. D.C. is very high pace, fast pace, go go go, go getter, we all work 50, 60 hours a week, and I think this has been one of those things that really pulls you away from your job, and you take a step back, and your job takes a back seat for a day, or for a few hours.\nWe\u2019ve had families come together, five-year-old girls help us germinate and transplant seeds. We\u2019ve had their brothers and sisters come out and water the gardens. We\u2019ve had mothers and grandmothers come out and spend time together and eat meals together. We\u2019re out doing a bunch of work, and we throw some food on the grill, and now we\u2019re eating together, so it\u2019s become a great space for relationships.\nBuilding relationships is one of our big goals\u2013building relationships between low- income and high-income residents of the city, building relationships between young and old, with people that may have never had those relationships unless there was a project like this.\nFT: How have you been working with other organizations in the community?\nAS: My wife and I are active members of our church and different community outreaches and support systems. We have some relationships with organizations that work directly with mothers and low-income families in the city, like A Simple House. We just spoke with a juice bar in D.C. that wants to donate their compost, and they\u2019ve already donated some money. It\u2019s been incredible to see the support come out of nowhere.\nWe\u2019ve been doing a lot of outreach to organizations that we think we may be able to collaborate with down the road. We\u2019ve been sending out press releases to spread the word and see what comes of it.\nFT: What types of relationships do you hope to develop with other organizations in different cities?\nAS: I hope we can create a model that will allow us to replicate that in different cities. Our business model is something that we\u2019re open to sharing with people. We\u2019re an open book; however we can collaborate and work with others to provide fresh food and build relationships and sustainable urban agriculture then we\u2019re all for that.\nFT: How are you developing your youth, ministry and cooking programs?\nAS: There\u2019s an ecumenical Christian community in Northern Virginia called People of Praise. They came and helped prep the space and build beds. We all ate lunch together, then we put the soil in the beds. We\u2019ve had other churches say they want to bring a team of people out to help build and plant and do whatever needs to be done. We could see summer camps, or summer youth groups, or summer mission trips to help us build one of the next ones, or help us put together different projects, maybe a compost box, help us during harvesting time.\nWe\u2019ll teach them about compost, seed germination, watering, weeding, harvesting, how to clip plants so they continue to harvest and grow. There\u2019ll be many different opportunities for education.\nWe hired a part-time, low income resident of the city that stays at a homeless shelter not too far away, and he\u2019s going to work 10-15 hours a week, and we\u2019re going to share the food with him and his family.\nPart of our model is sustainability, so we\u2019d like to move in the direction of receiving donations and employing more low-income people. We\u2019d also like to partner with a restaurant, or a chef that understands our mission. We can produce the types of crops that he needs in certain seasons, and that can provide a revenue source.\nIn terms of the cooking program, we\u2019ll be providing recipe cards for how to prepare the fruits, vegetables and herbs that we give to people. I hope to have workdays on which people stay over and cook and eat together.\nWe\u2019re moving fast, a lot is changing, but I think our model and our structure is pretty sound and we\u2019ll see where it goes from here.\nLynda McCullough is a health writer and yoga teacher living in Loveland, Colorado.

        "title": "Decisions, Decisions | FORE Partnership",
        "raw_content": "By Fore PartnershipFebruary 1, 2018 No Comments\nWe believe contemporary real estate decision making breaks down into four keys areas:\nA decision of strategic importance\nThe real estate decision receives greater attention at board level than ever before. The reason is simple. There is now acceptance from business leaders that the office is far more than simply a vessel in which to place staff. In this interpretation, property decisions can serve to support a broad church of other strategic considerations such as CSR, operational productivity and efficiency enhancement, brand promotion and the attraction and retention of the talent required to drive the competitive advantage of the business.\nThere are three clear consequences. First, the occupier is more exacting about what they need and why they need it. They are also better informed, advised and market aware than ever before. Second, the time-scales over which decisions are made tend to be longer given their gravity. Active requirements and searches are coming to the market much further in advance of the time at which commitment to a property option is required. Third, the range of stakeholders in the decision- making process has become broader, encompassing not just the CEO but also the CFO, the HR director, the IT director and, in a growing number of cases, existing staff.\nIt\u2019s about people rather than bricks and mortar\nIndeed, the HR director is involved earlier in the real estate decision- making process and has a powerful influence over the ultimate outcome. Again the reason is simple. People constitute around 55% of the cost base of any business. There is widespread recognition that a poor location or real estate decision can create costly churn in the workforce \u2013 staff reinstatement costs run at circa 150% of salary.\nThis cost is compounded by labour market conditions, which can best be described as tight, given the UK is currently running at record levels of employment. Crucially, there are specific skills and talents required by modern businesses as they react and respond to a digital age.\nRecruiting the technical and creative talent required is costly, competitive and cannot be compromised. In this sense, real estate becomes part of a corporate talent strategy whereby the quality of the workplace, its vibrancy, amenity, services and its ability to accommodate different ways of working are all integral to winning the \u2018war for talent\u2019 and thus support business competitiveness.\nIncreasing cost sensitivity\nAlthough representing no more than 15% of an occupier\u2019s cost base, real estate is a tangible cost that can be measured and monitored. It will be scrutinised and there will be a cost sensitivity that shapes market demand going forward. But there are two clear distinctions from the cost sensitivity of the past.\nFirst, the occupier\u2019s focus is firmly on total occupational costs \u2013 not just rental costs \u2013 and as such business rates and service charge costs are also considered.\nSecond, and linked to the points already made, real estate costs will not be considered in isolation. We will not return to the approach immediately following the Global Financial Crisis when real estate costs were attacked and taken back to such an extent that they actually compromised staff productivity. Businesses will be more accepting of real estate costs where a clear linkage can be made to mitigating costs in other areas of the business such as the cost of lost output or talented staff.\n\u201cMany established businesses need to respond to more collaborative work-practices as well as the need for more innovative behaviours within the business.\u201d\nA decision which can shape corporate culture\nBusinesses are rapidly responding to the twin pressures of a relatively low growth economic environment and the disruptive effects of both digital and emerging technology. The latter is emboldening new market entrants across a range of sectors which further challenge the premise and performance of many traditional businesses.\nThis requires transformation \u2013 a transformation in the talent pool driving the business, as well as one altering the underlying corporate culture. Real estate matters in this respect. For example, many established businesses need to respond to more collaborative work-practices as well as the need for more innovative behaviours within the business.\nThe configuration, character and style of the workplace are essential in embodying and facilitating this transformation.\nSo, what at first glance appears to be a relatively simple decision-making process is in fact an ever more complex endeavour. Real estate decision making is strategically significant, balancing costs against operational needs, and is at the very forefront of attempts to transform the workforce and culture of business. Places and spaces that attract and retain talent will, for the modern occupier, be worth their weight in gold.\nWritten by Dr. Lee Elliot\nHead of commercial research, Knight Frank",

But certainly I think we can transform society so that some of the catastrophic impacts can be avoided.\u201d\nKumar is one of six panelists sharing \u2018big ideas\u2019 at the Colloquium on Forests and Climate: New Thinking for Transformational Change in New York on 24 September. The Colloquium is jointly organized by CIFOR and the Earth Institute at Columbia University. An edited transcript of Kumar\u2019s interview with CIFOR follows.\nQ: What is the \u2018big idea\u2019 you\u2019ll be discussing at the event?\nA: I\u2019m going to talk about how we need to enhance the capacity of humans to transform society towards a \u2018green economy.\u2019\nThe \u2018green economy\u2019 is a kind of approach, a set of tools that have the potential bring society on track for sustainability.\nProtecting the environment must involve getting the economics right, and to go beyond the economics to include the disciplines, sciences and institutions on which good economics rest. The green economy is an attempt to align the wheels of economy and nature.\nQ: Can you give some examples of some of these tools you\u2019re talking about?\nA: The tools and approaches I am talking about are new investment opportunities, identifying ecological thresholds, and identifying the synergies of economic activities and conservation activities.\nThe rock-bottom fact though is that wherever we have tried to convey it effectively, and explain it, and identify the actions they need to act upon\u2014they have done it!\nPushpam Kumar\nThe backbone of my discussion will be about economic evaluations\u2014capturing them, demonstrating them, and mainstreaming them in development decisions for a more just and efficient allocation of resources.\nIt\u2019s also about identifying, acknowledging and organizing complexities. They could be in form of trade-offs: for example, higher food production could have an adverse impact on the biophysical aspects of agriculture, in terms of soil salinity, waterlogging, mono-cropping, pesticides. So how can we enhance food production to cater to the needs of 7 billion-plus people, with minimum impact on the ground water, surface water and topsoil? Those are the trade-offs, and we need to find pathways to resolve those them.\nQ: What are some of the ways we can do that\u2014is it possible?\nA: Yes, it is possible. The possibility will have different prospects depending on the time scale you are looking at. In the short term, you will probably not have much chance to succeed. But in the medium to long term, I think those possibilities can be realized.\nQ: And how can this idea of the \u2018green economy\u2019 help us to do that?\nA: I\u2019ll be pragmatic here: I won\u2019t say that in 5 years, 10 years, everything is going to be green and rosy, no. But certainly I think we can transform society so that some of the catastrophic impacts can be avoided.\nI have no illusions that we are going to achieve the green economy in every sense in the short term. But certainly, as one of our former UN Secretaries General Dag Hammarskj\u00f6ld used to say\u2014although he was talking in a different context\u2014 \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to bring the entire world to paradise, but to avoid the whole world going to hell.\u201d\nQ: And what would a green economy look like?\nA: Compared with now, there would be fewer greenhouse gas emissions, greater diffusion of technology, greater adoption of green technology, sustainable and job-friendly growth, greater equity and greater social harmony. This will help equip us to better adapt to climate change and halt the pace of biodiversity loss.\nQ: If it has all these benefits, why is it so hard to make it happen then? What are the barriers?\nA: The barrier is the mindset. There are barriers in the sense that sometimes people don\u2019t understand the concept, they think, Oh, this is another green constraint, or green lobby or advocacy group talking about something obscure\u2014so the problem lies with us, the scientific community, in that we have not been able to explain the opportunities which this concept offers.\nJacob Phelps and Pavan Sukhdev:\nGreen growth in Southeast Asia\nSecondly, even if people understand, many countries still need a huge amount of capacity-building to implement these ideas, to act on them. So this is another constraint preventing us from achieving the goals of the green economy.\nThird, there\u2019s also a kind of political economy of growth and development right now across the world since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008. People don\u2019t want to experiment with new ideas when they\u2019re struggling with growth, jobs, trade, and investment. They are receptive, but personally in my experience dealing with the governments, they are somewhat reluctant.\nThe rock-bottom fact though is that wherever we have tried to convey it effectively, and explain it, and identify the actions they need to act upon\u2014they have done it! And they have shown very promising\nQ: Where do forests come in?\nA: Forests are certainly important as one of the major examples of natural capital, which provides many tangible and intangible benefits. Not just timber or logwood or non-timber forest products, but also carbon and watersheds. Both these services are not captured in countries\u2019 development policies. There is awareness, but still it is not being factored into the development decisions of the respective ministries in countries where forests are dominant.\nThere is also an urgent need to change the basic compass of progress measurement: Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. Conventional accounting of income in the countries has not recognized the contribution of nature. In many countries especially in the Global South, poor people depend on common pool resources that GDP does not account for. Any poverty alleviation program based on these narrow indicators is bound to be inefficient.\nValuation and accounting are important; but we also need to restructure the macro-economy as well and embrace a different model\u2014and that is where the challenge lies, in terms of capacity, in terms of understanding, and in providing compelling examples.\nQ: What kinds of macro-economic adjustments?\nA: When I talk about policy I\u2019m not thinking about environmental policy but trade policies, export-import policies, exchange rate policies, interest rate policies.\nThe environmental constituency still is not very powerful. In any country, and globally, who are the most powerful? Industries, agriculture, banking, finance, insurance\u2014they play in billion, trillion dollars every month. They are people who create drivers of change.\nThose who export beef, for example, can cause deforestation. Or the export of aquaculture can cause water pollution and loss of biodiversity. But those links are unclear, people don\u2019t understand that. We have to make these links explicit, while redesigning the structure of the macro-economy.\nWe have a goods market, a money market, a credit market\u2014but where is the environmental market? We have supply and demand for environmental resources \u2013 it could be a good way to look at the economy in a more comprehensive and balanced manner than just ignoring the environment and dealing with it on the margins.\nQ: Why is it important to have events like this Colloquium where we discuss these issues?\nA: This is a unique and opportune moment to come out with our argument and make those that are in New York for the Climate Summit aware of the tools that exist\u2014which are known to researchers, but have not gone in a convincing way to the policy makers who have the discretion and opportunity to influence the happening on the ground\u2014and that\u2019s why this event is very important.\nQ: When people leave the event, what ideas do you want them to be thinking about?\nA: I would expect that if they can take one or two tools from our talk and if they can be motivated to pilot them in their own countries, if they are not doing it already.\nEven if they are losing something in the short term, we have to tell them for your children, for your grandchildren, and for the future, this is worth doing.\nIf they can take one or two ideas\u2014I won\u2019t be very ambitious!\u2014just one or two ideas, then I will feel that I have done my job.\nRead also Towards a Green Economy: Pathways to Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication\nKeyword(s) : finance green economy Pushpam Kumar UNEP",

        "raw_content": "A Freedom-of-Speech Approach To Limiting Filesharing \u2013 Part I: Filesharing and Spam\nJuly 8, 2009 by Mitch Golden\n[Today we kick off a series of three guest posts by Mitch Golden. Mitch was a professor of physics when, in 1995, he was bitten by the Internet bug and came to New York to become an entrepreneur and consultant. He has worked on a variety of Internet enterprises, including one in the filesharing space. As usual, the opinions expressed in these posts are Mitch\u2019s alone. \u2014 Ed]\nThe battle between the record labels and filesharers has been somewhat out of the news a bit of late, but it rages on still. There is an ongoing court case Arista Records v LimeWire, in which a group of record labels are suing to have LimeWire held accountable for the copyright infringing done by its users. Though this case has attracted less attention than similar cases before it, it may raise interesting issues not addressed in previous cases. Though I am a technologist, not a lawyer, this series of posts will advocate a way of looking at the issues, including legal, using a freedom-of-speech based approach, which leads to some unusual conclusions.\nLet\u2019s start by reviewing some salient features of filesharing.\nFilesharing is a way for a group of people \u2013 who generally do not know one another \u2013 to allow one another to see what files they collectively have on their machines, and to exchange desired files with each other. There are at least two components to a filesharing system: one allows a user who is looking for a particular file to see if someone has it, and another that allows the file to be transferred from one machine to the other.\nOne of the most popular filesharing programs in current use is LimeWire, which uses a protocol called gnutella. Gnutella is decentralized, in the sense that neither the search nor the exchange of files requires any central server. It is possible, therefore, for people to exchange copyrighted files \u2013 in violation of the law \u2013 without creating any log of the search or exchange in a central repository.\nThe gnutella protocol was originally created by developers from Nullsoft, the company that had developed the popular music player WinAmp, shortly after it was acquired by AOL. AOL was at that time merging with Time Warner, a huge media company, and so the idea that they would be distributing a filesharing client was quite unamusing to management. Work was immediately discontinued; however, the source for the client and the implementation of the protocol had already been released under the GPL, and so development continued elsewhere. LimeWire made improvements both to the protocol and the interface, and their client became quite popular.\nThe decentralized structure of filesharing does not serve a technical purpose. In general, centralized searching is simpler, quicker and more efficient, and so, for example, to search the web we use Google or Yahoo, which are gigantic repositories. In filesharing, the decentralized search structure instead serves a legal purpose: to diffuse the responsibility so no particular individual or organization can be held accountable for promoting the illegal copying of copyright materials. At the time the original development was going on, the Napster case was in the news, in which the first successful filesharing service was being sued by the record labels. The outcome of that case a few months later resulted in Napster being shut down, as the US courts held it (which was a centralized search repository) responsible for the copyright infringing file sharing its users were doing.\nWhatever their legal or technical advantages, decentralized networks, by virtue of their openness, are vulnerable to a common problem: spam. For example, because anyone may send anyone else an e-mail, we are all subject to a deluge of messages trying to sell us penny stocks and weight loss remedies. Filesharing too is subject this sort of cheating. If someone is looking for, say, Rihanna\u2019s recording Disturbia, and downloads an mp3 file that purports to be such, what\u2019s to stop a spammer from instead serving a file with an audio ad for a Canadian pharmacy?\nSpammers on the filesharing networks, however, have more than just the usual commercial motivations in mind. In general, there are four categories of fake files that find their way onto the network.\nCommercial spam\nPornography and Ads for Pornography\nViruses and trojans\nSpoof files\nThe last of these has no real analogue to anything people receive in e-mail It works as follows: if, for example, Rihanna\u2019s record label wants to prevent you from downloading Disturbia, they might hire a company called MediaDefender. MediaDefender\u2019s business is to put as many spoof files as possible on gnutella that purport to be Disturbia, but instead contain useless noise. If MediaDefender can succeed in flooding the network so that the real Disturbia is needle in a haystack, then the record label has thwarted gnutella\u2019s users from violating their copyright.\nSince people are still using filesharing, clearly a workable solution has been found to the problem of spoof files. In tomorrow\u2019s post, I discuss this solution, and in the following post, I suggest its legal ramifications.\nSeems to me that the \u201cporn and ads for porn\u201d is just a subset of \u201ccommercial spam\u201d. That is, \u201ccommercial spam\u201d is simply advertising, and any fake content that turns out to be porn is really just some kind of commercial advertising for the most part. (Of course, some of the content that users intend to share over the network may in fact also be porn, but that wouldn\u2019t be a \u201cfake file\u201d).\nI suppose the one complicating factor is that porn is also used to lure people into downloading malware (\u201cviruses and trojans\u201d). In that respect, the fourth category of \u201cporn\u201d actually overlaps (intersects) the two other categories. But IMHO that\u2019s just that much more of a reason it\u2019s not really a category unto itself.\nI see three categories: fake files for the purpose of advertising (\u201ccommercial spam\u201d), for the purpose of distributing malware (\u201cviruses and trojans\u201d), and for the purpose of littering the network with fake content (\u201cspoof files\u201d).\nInterestingly, all of those categories can be demonstrated as furthering some commercial interest. That is, they all exist for the purpose of making money. So at some level, there\u2019s just one category. \ud83d\ude42\nSorry if this was not clear. What I had in mind was a distinction between people trying to sell the usual junk \u2013 diets, penny stocks, canadian drugs, etc \u2013 vs. pornographic files. As you point out, the latter are often trying to sell subscriptions to porn sites.\nAt any rate, it is the fourth category, spoof files, that it relevant to the discussion as it will develop. There is nothing analogous to them in e-mail spam.\nThere is nothing analogous to them in e-mail spam.\nIs Bayesian poisoning analogous enough? Sending spam solely for the purpose of degrading a filtering technique seems very similar to seeding files solely for the purpose of degrading a searching technique.\nWhat I meant is that the people who are spoofing files on filesharing networks are trying to keep you from finding the real file of the same name. When an e-mail spammer is sending you something, he is trying to get you to read his message, not keep you from finding another one. That is the sense in which spoofing is distinct from anything in e-mail.\nGiven file-sharing is precisely about freedom-of-speech, then surely it is a contradiction in terms to pursue a means of limiting it?\nI suggest that the best way of limiting it would be to abolish copyright, as then the availability of all files would increase no end, and the bandwidth taken up by file-sharing would reduce considerably.\nThe discussion here is not intended to be so radical as to cover the merit or lack thereof of copyright. I take as assumption that the current regime is going to continue. In that case, it will remain illegal to exchange files that are under copyright (without the owner\u2019s permission). Given that the courts are going to try to limit filesharing, the question is How should they do it? If, in the process, we all lose our freedom of speech, I think (and I am sure you\u2019ll agree) that is a real problem. Given some of the things the Content Industry is asking for, this is not an unlikely outcome. (It\u2019s much more likely than copyright being abolished!)\n[\u2026]to search the web we use Google or Yahoo, which are gigantic repositories.\nI think you may have meant that they are repositories of indices. True, Google does cache the results of its web crawling (and so becomes a repository of content), but it\u2019s only a side-effect of its technical implementation of searching.\nFor the most part, once a Google search has found a relevant link, people use that link to navigate to the site hosting the content. It is only in unusual circumstances that people use the cached Google content (to retrieve a document that may have been altered on the original site, or to retrieve a document that is no longer available at all from the original site).\nYou are correct that when you view the actual content you don\u2019t go to Google directly, and so it is a repository of indeces. The comparison is with gnutella, where when you search you aren\u2019t going to anything centralized. You\u2019re broadcasting a request to the other clients on the network asking all of them if they have the file you are looking for. That is centralized vs. decentralized.\nI would have never thought of spam being in filesharing, although I would expect that viruses would involved in file sharing, which is why I would never allow anyone to access my computer like that. I\u2019ve used Limewire before and did have problems with advertisements in music downloads.\nselling photography 101\nThe decentralized structure of filesharing does not serve a technical purpose.\nBullshit. For one, decentralization distributes costs, resource utilization and authority thus making it trivial for communities to form communication networks. Having to get a group coordinate to rent a server poses several almost certainly fatal problems: How do you organize people to pay money? Will you have enough people to pay minimum costs? How do you send and collect the money safely? Who will be the legal \u201cowner\u201d of the server? How can you trust them? Why should they have more power than anyone else? etc. It is just too much goddamn trouble. For proof note the relative absence of community, ruler-free networks. Joining a decentralized network on the other hand is trivial, being essentially frictionless and requiring essentially no human coordination and, once there, no one lords over anyone else.\nI\u2019m not quite sure how to take this comment.\nAre you saying there is no technical reason for decentralized filesharing? In other words, you don\u2019t think the development of filesharing was motivated by technical issues? (Truthfully, I\u2019m not sure there is any such thing as \u201ctechnical purpose\u201d. Everything we do is for human purposes, but at any rate\u2026)\nI haven\u2019t studied filesharing technologies much, but I thought one technical problem they were trying to overcome was the requirement for needing expensive central servers with copious available bandwidth when trying to provide popular content. You already have many clients on the ends of the network. These clients can actually act as servers, but for various reasons that I won\u2019t attempt to get into, most of these machines act only as clients or \u201cconsumers\u201d (to use a much abused term) that request services or content from central servers. Filesharing, among other things, was an attempt to change that so that any client could act as a server (and vice versa) and that you could distribute the bandwidth load across the internet by localizing most of your traffic for popular content (i.e. your neighbors are serving you content that you would otherwise have to stream from a central server).\nAs an example, aren\u2019t some PC game developers using these techniques for distributing their often massive patches? That seems like a technical purpose to me.\n(Of course, I don\u2019t mean to imply that filesharing isn\u2019t being used for copyright infringement. I merely wish to point out that the motivations for the development for these technologies did involve some technical issues.)\nLet me answer this and the surrounding two comments as follows:\nThe particular point I was making was regard to *search* under filesharing. I hope this was clear when the sentence is in context. The point is that Napster had a better and quicker search engine than gnutella. The problem it had was legal, not technical, and the development of gnutella proceeded from that point.\nLet me add my disagreement to those above. Decentralization certainly can and does have a technical purpose in many file sharing applications. As someone who has spoken to people who ran popular centralized P2P file sharing index servers (OpenNap, etc), they uniformly tell me that decentralization was crucial to the long-term success of a global P2P network. In fact, Napster itself moved toward decentralization of its indices because it could not manage the numbers of connections it was seeing.\nIn short, the development of decentralized solutions cannot be said to have \u201cno technical purpose.\u201d Whether it may also have had a legal purpose is another matter, but there\u2019s certainly nothing wrong with trying to design your systems so that they comply with the law.\nI don\u2019t know what Napster was doing, but making a single repository (or a set of repositories run by a central authority) scale vertically is much easier than constructing the decentralized search methodology that is implemented by gnutella. In a decentralized network like gnutella, a significant fraction of the network traffic is the search messages being passed around. If you are looking for a file that is on only one host, somehow the search message has to be sure it gets to that very host or you won\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for. It is a rather a technical tour-de-force that they got gnutella to scale as well as it does.\nAnother technical reason for decentralizing anything, besides to decentralize costs, is to reduce or eliminate single points of failure and various kinds of bottlenecks in the system, making it more robust and scalable.\nMitch: What Tom suggests is that spammers are deliberately sending legit-looking spam in order to reduce the effectiveness of statistical spam filtering. I find it more plausible that using particularly plausible and interest-grabbing subject lines is meant to fool human readers \u2013 these days a lot of spam uses subjects related to job insecurity and workplace impositions (e.g. subjects suggesting demands by management). Some time ago there were waves of spam with subjects masquerading as news soundbites or celebrity gossip. But certainly this will degrade statistical filtering at least as a side effect. But even my counterpoint to his thesis falls into the same email related category that he highlights.\nThe way spam filtering e.g. in Mozilla-family email clients works is by deriving feature vectors from email content and metadata (header fields, presence of media types, e.g. embedded images or HTML content, etc.) which are matched against fuzzy sets of positive/negative samples. The samples are seeded and adapted by the user marking unfiltered messages as spam, and/or reviewing filtered false positives marking them as non-spam. Without going into much technical detail, it should be immediately plausible that loading up messages with plausibly legit content/features will dilute the value of the user annotations and introduce overlap between positives and negatives, reducing discrimination effectiveness. The important central concept is that the tool does not know what part of the messages are the spam markers (and that\u2019s a subjective criterion to being with) \u2013 it figures out how positives and (presumed) negatives differ, and builds a set of discriminating factors from that. Injecting pseudo-legit \u201cnoise\u201d and cloaking spam content, for example by hiding it in images or obscure HTML encodings will impede this analysis. It may also dissuade busy enough human readers who receive similar \u201clegit\u201d messages from marking it as spam, or mark legit messages as spam accidentally, all of which will degrade the sample data base.\nIn other words, there is an email spam equivalent of fluffing up the channel with noise, only it\u2019s not \u201cfake spam\u201d but \u201cfake legitimacy\u201d.\nI agree that the bayesian filter poisoning is a different kind of e-mail spam, but it is not analogous to a spoof file on gnutella, at least in the sense relevant to the discussion here. The spoof file is actually the legitimate copyright holder protecting his/her copyright file by trying to bury the real file in a pile of spoofs. The spoofer is not trying (as all e-mail spammers are) to get you to read (or hear) something. He is trying to *prevent* you from finding something on gnutella that you don\u2019t have the legal right to get.\nThe filter-poisoning e-mail serves no legitimate purpose. The spoof file *does*, since it is the copyright holder\u2019s attempt to protect a copyright.\nSure. I was arguing under the premise that we are discussing a technical analogy, not a legal one.\nWith your claim that MediaDefender\u2019s spoofed files serve a \u201clegitimate purpose\u201d, you\u2019ve just lost all credibility.\nBesides their overzealous spoofing, there\u2019s the simple fact that instead of taking legal actions, they are in essence engaging in vandalism as a form of \u201cself help\u201d. Imagine an anti-drug crusader sending agents to every street corner to sell severely poisonous substances as \u201cdrugs\u201d to deter drug use, or having goons jackhammer to pieces every sidewalk in every city thereby rendering the streets completely useless to pedestrians, not just drug dealers/users. And remember, these are private organizations perpetrating thuggery on the part of big, profit-focused corporations \u2014 hardly \u201cgood Samaritans\u201d. The behavior of the entire recording industry is disturbingly Mafia-like. Why not just try to compete legitimately? Studies have shown that filesharing has no impact on album sales anyway! The whole mess is ludicrous.\nActually Mozilla calls it \u201cJunk filtering\u201d, a subtly different notion from spam, denoting generalized categories of undesired correspondence.\nOMG so many promotional comments here.\nZinzin says:\nI like P2P filesharing like Limewire very much, I download lots of great files via this network, but I also get many viruses from this, hope this solution will help the world clearer.\nYes. It\u2019s called \u201cabolition of copyright\u201d, and the eventual end of centralization on the net.\nDomain names, DNS, and registrars will go the way of the dodo, because search will find content (and even interactive services) by IP address. Many interactive services can use functional programming to be distributed, with needed data existing on the client machine. Some will need some notion of centralized data, but BitTorrent-like technology can create a vast distributed filesystem, parts encrypted, whose content is updatable, but also versioned and backed up out the wazoo.\nMuch will become obsolete in the next 30 years. Within ten, copyright and all forms of artificial scarcity of information. Within 20, as it\u2019s increasingly cheap to \u201cfab\u201d fairly complex devices and tools in the home, patents land in the crosshairs of Napsterization. Within 30, patents have also met the fate of the dinosaurs, and scarcity is largely restricted to raw materials, bandwidth, and human expertise. Mining, bandwidth-provision, and knowledge work will thrive, along with services. Japanese automakers will have met the same fate by then as their American brethren face now.\nAfter that the crystal ball kind of fogs up because of strong AI.\nI suggest that the best way of limiting it would be to abolish copyright, as then the availability of all files would increase no end, and the bandwidth taken up by file-sharing would reduce considerably.tiffany\nFile sharing is made the entertainment industrial lost their money because lots of their digital products is shared by many people for free.",

        "title": "Persecuting the Church of Almighty God as \u201cXie jiao\u201d in China | Freedom of Belief",
        "raw_content": "Professor Introvigne, what exactly is a xie jiao. Can\u2019t we simply translate the Chinese expression with \u201ccult\u201d\nBut that was precisely the long and the short of the Hong Kong conference! Xie jiao is an expression used since the times of the Ming Dynasty, well before the current controversies on \u201ccults.\u201d The pendulum switched repeatedly from using it with a theological meaning, for \u201cheterodox beliefs,\u201d or with a police one, \u201ccriminal religious movements,\u201d or \u201creligious movements conspiring to overthrow the government.\u201d Today China has adopted a list of xie jiao, whose members may go to jail, or worse, but my impression is that within the administration and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) there are three different schools or thought. The first uses xie jiao in the traditional Chinese pre-Communist sense, asking the government to protect the \u201corthodox\u201d beliefs and persecute the \u201cheterodox\u201d ones. A Chinese scholar even seriously argued that a movement claiming to be Christian but denying the Trinity should be regarded as xie jiao \u2013 and he meant regarded by the police and the courts, which is somewhat paradoxical in an officially irreligious state. The second school is influenced by the Western anti-cult movement and is in touch with the anti-cult Federation FECRIS, which, particularly through its Russian branch, is in turn eager to gain some recognition in China. This school is happy to translate xie jiao as \u201ccult\u201d and to apply to the xie jiao the definitions of the anti-cultists, based on brainwashing. Here lies another paradox, because the idea of brainwashing was invented by American intelligence agents during the Cold War as a form of anti-Chinese propaganda. Brainwashing was something the evil Chinese Communists did. Of course, today in China few are aware of this origin of the word \u201cbrainwashing\u201d\u2014we tried to remind them of it. There is also a third school, which would accept to define xie jiao in behavioral terms, as groups that commit serious common crimes. It is the only school we can have a dialogue with. It surely does have adherents within the police, but we don\u2019t know how seriously this position is taken by the higher spheres of CCP in Beijing. Also, even those who adopt this more acceptable definition of xie jiao include within the serious crimes making a group a xie jiao the fact of opposing the CCP, which shows how different are the legal categories in China with respect to the West.\nThe conference focused on a specific group in the list of xie jiao, the Church of Almighty God, also known as Eastern Lightning, which seems now to rank second after Falun Gong, if not first, in the list of groups regarded as very dangerous by the CCP. This group is now also present in Italy. Can you introduce it?\nThe Church of Almighty God is a new religious movement, born in China in 1991. Its core teaching is that Jesus Christ returned to earth as the incarnated Almighty God. Although the movement never mentions her name nor any bibliographic details, and cautions that any information supplied by outside sources may be wrong, most scholars believe it identifies the incarnated Almighty God with a Chinese woman, Yang Xiangbin (b. 1973), who was born in northwestern China. In 1989, during the revival of the Chinese churches, the Almighty God gave up his studies and formally entered the house church movement, and began to utter prophetic words while attending meetings of the movement founded by Witness Lee (1905-1977), known as the Local Church in the West and as Shouters in China. Many believers in the Chinese House Church movement (i.e among the branch of Protestant Christianity not recognized by the Chinese government) believed that those words were from the Holy Spirit and started to read them in their gatherings. Only in 1993, however, the person who was the source of these messages was recognized as Christ, the incarnate God, and the only one true God. Among those converted to the message and the person of the Almighty God was Zhao Weishan (b. 1951, native of Heilongjiang Province, China), who was at that time a leader in a branch of the Shouters movement. He was later recognized as the \u201cMan Used by the Holy Spirit,\u201d and the \u201cPriest,\u201d of the Church of Almighty God. The Church of Almighty God is personally led and shepherded by the person it recognizes as the Almighty God, while Zhao Weishan is cooperating with the work of Almighty God, and is in charge of the administrative affairs of the Church.\nSince the year 2000, both Zhao and Yang live in the U.S. There are no reliable statistics but most scholars agree the followers are hundreds of thousands, if not more than one million, not only in China, but in South Korea, U.S., Canada, Italy, and other countries.\nThe movement claims that thousands have been arrested, \u201cre-educated\u201d in labor camps, and some have \u201cmysteriously\u201d died in custody. We know you also heard the explanations of the Chinese authorities. How do they defend themselves?\nObviously, the authorities do not admit having killed anybody in their jails. But they do admit the arrests and the re-education procedures. They claim all this is needed because the Church of Almighty God, under the cover of religion, is a typical xie jiao conspiring against the government and is guilty of very serious crimes, from homicide to beating and kidnapping leaders of other Christian churches.\nDo you believe these accusations?\nI want to discuss methodology first. Each claim should be examined separately, and all the available documents collected and studied. I insisted with the Chinese authorities that all the documents they have about these incidents should be made available to independent scholars. Certainly, there is no shortage of texts produced by some leaders of other Chinese Christian churches, who hate the Church of Almighty God because it converted many from their flocks. And I also interviewed, as did several colleagues, leaders and members of the Church of Almighty God who now live in South Korea or the United States. I started from the most infamous episode, the 2014 homicide in a McDonald\u2019s diner in Zhaoyuan, on which I believe I am ready to share some conclusions.\nWhat happened in 2014 in Zhaoyuan?\nOn May 28, 2014, a group of missionaries claiming to represent \"Almighty God\" entered a McDonald\u2019s diner in Zhaoyuan, Shandong and started preaching, asking customers for their phone numbers in order to contact them again in the future. One client, Wu Shuoyan (1977\u20132014), refused to supply her phone number. One of them, Zhang Lidong (1959\u20132015), beat her to death. Chinese authorities and media claimed that the Church of Almighty God was responsible for the murder. However, on the basis of research by Emily Dunn, the author of the only academic book on the movement published so far, and others, it appears that the Church of Almighty God was not responsible for the murder. At the trial following the events in Zhaoyuan, Zhang Lidong and other members of the group explicitly declared that they were not members of the Church of Almighty God led by Zhao Weishan. They regarded as \u201cAlmighty God\u201d two persons, Zhang Lidong's daughter, Zhang Fan (1984\u20132015), and her friend L\u00fc Yingchun. The latter is at the origin of the group that committed the 2014 crime, which can be described as a syncretism with beliefs taken from several different Chinese new religions. On October 11, 2014, Zhang Lidong and Zhang Fan were sentenced to death, and executed on February 2, 2015. L\u00fc Yingchun was sentenced to life imprisonment. The other members of the group, who were in the McDonald but did not directly participate in the murder, were sentenced to lesser penalties. To me it is clear that the group responsible for the brutal murder was not part of the Church of Almighty God, although Chinese authorities were able to persuade the media otherwise\u2013but not the scholars who studied the movement seriously.\nSo, your verdict is \u201cnot guilty\u201d for the McDonald murder. What about the other charges, kidnapping pastors or conspiring against the government?\nClearly the Church of Almighty God does not have a good opinion of the CCP and in fact identifies it with the Dragon of the Book of Revelation. However, if one reads its literature, the impression is that the Dragon would fall by itself, and there is no appeal to a revolution. As for the kidnapping, this would be my next field of study. I am familiar with the accounts by leaders of China Gospel Fellowship, who were allegedly the targets of a massive kidnapping (32 victims) in 2002. There are no court documents, since nobody was prosecuted for this crime\u2014a strange story in itself. And I have also heard the version of the Church of the Almighty God, that China Gospel Fellowship had to invent the kidnapping after some members, including a top leader, passed with the Church of Almighty God. There is a lot that sounds strange or not persuasive in the whole story. Be patient. I believe I did a thorough research on the McDonald\u2019s murder and plan to do the same for the kidnappings",

        "raw_content": "A Christian\u2019s Plea to Get Her Community to Stand Up for Atheists November 7, 2014 Hemant Mehta\nA Christian\u2019s Plea to Get Her Community to Stand Up for Atheists\nRebecca Florence Miller, one of the evangelical Christian bloggers on Patheos, recently got in a conversation with a bunch of atheists (on this site, I believe), and came away with a few important conclusions:\nI came away from this conversation challenged that I need to do more to stand up for the rights of atheists (and those of other religions) here in the United States. Not because I agree with them on God and theology, but because they are human beings who deserve respect. Because when we stand up for someone else\u2019s rights, we are appropriately loving our neighbor and treating them as we would want to be treated.\nShe gets specific, too:\nWe can defend the child who is serious enough about his beliefs that he won\u2019t \u201cfake it\u201d and stand up for the part of the Pledge of Allegiance that says \u201cone nation under God.\u201d We can stand against any instance when the government tries to establish some form of state religion. We can decry death threats against those who are speaking their beliefs, loving them enough to defend them even if we disagree profoundly with them. We can do this by considering that certain governmental expressions of religious faith may not be the greatest idea.\nThat\u2019s really what most of us are asking for. Atheists, for the most part, aren\u2019t interested in forcing our views on everyone else the way many Christians seem to want. We want the government to maintain neutrality on religious issues instead of promoting Christianity (or theism in general).\nIt\u2019s been said before, but atheists are fighting to be treated the same as everyone else, while Christians often want special treatment. They get defensive when a city council says a Nativity Scene or Ten Commandments monument can\u2019t be placed on government property\u2026 or angry when an atheist display goes up right next to their own. They think the whole world is an extension of their church and get upset when the same rules don\u2019t apply (see: Football coaches who think prayer during practice is never a problem).\nIf atheists got what we wanted, Christians wouldn\u2019t be harmed in the least. If Christians got what they wanted \u2014 and they often do \u2014 atheists (and other non-Christians) would be treated like second-class citizens. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so infuriating when it seems like we\u2019re the only ones taking on these battles. The values we\u2019re fighting for would benefit everybody, not just us.\nSo hats off to Rebecca for recognizing that and imploring her readers to understand it, too.\n(Thanks to Debra for the link)\nWhy These Ex-Muslims Critique Islam, and Why They're Fed Up With \"Relativist Liberals\" Who \"Pretend We Don't Exist\"\nNovember 7, 2014 Pastor Won't Swallow Starbucks' Gay Propaganda, Spits That Its Lattes Contain the \"Semen of Sodomites\"",

        "raw_content": "Police Raid Texas Rehab Center That Treats Priests Who Commit Sex Crimes September 20, 2018 David Gee\nPolice Raid Texas Rehab Center That Treats Priests Who Commit Sex Crimes\nAuthorities in Texas have raided a rehabilitation center that treats priests involved in sex-related crimes in search of evidence in a recent abuse case.\nPolice were looking for more evidence against Manuel La Rosa-Lopez (above), a former Texas priest who was recently arrested on four count of indecency with a child. One of his two alleged victims came forward in part because he heard other reports of priests abusing kids and felt compelled to go public with his own story.\nNow law enforcement officials are seeking more evidence \u2014 and perhaps more victims \u2014 at the Shalom Center.\nIt was not known what specific evidence was collected from the Shalom Center off Morgan Drive. According to a 1995 U.S. Conference of Bishops survey on treatment centers, the location deals with priests involved in sex-related crimes.\nAt least 25 officials from the Montgomery County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Conroe Police Department, Montgomery County District Attorney\u2019s Office and the Texas Rangers were on the scene.\nManuel La Rosa-Lopez, a former priest at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, turned himself into the Montgomery County Jail on Sept. 11 after the Conroe Police Department issued a warrant for his arrest. He is charged with four counts of indecency with a child. The alleged incidents span several years in the late 1990s and early 2000s.\nThis is interesting for a number of reasons, including the fact that these types of rehabs even exist. I had no idea there were rehab centers that specifically address child sex abuse by various religious figures.\nIt\u2019s also unique because of the scale of the raid. 25 members of law enforcement? That\u2019s not typical unless they had more of a hunch than they\u2019re letting on, but there is a hint as to what they were looking for and it\u2019s because Lopez likely received treatment at Shalom Center after allegations against him first surfaced.\nMontgomery County District Attorney\u2019s Office Special Crime Bureau Chief Tyler Dunman said it is believed Lopez received treatment at the facility at some point. He added it was not clear what type of treatment the priest received.\n\u201c(Our) coming here is a result of a search of the location in Fort Bend and sacred Heart Catholic Church. We believe there are documents here that would be important to our investigation into this priest.

        "raw_content": "A U.S. Political Candidate Just Pledged to Make All Decisions via an App Poll\nIf elected, he'll vote however the people do.\nDom GaleonOctober 17th 2017\n/ Liquid Democracy\n/ Parti Vote\n/Liquid Democracy\n/Parti Vote\nTechnology has the potential to radically change how elected officials perform their duties, and at least one political candidate thinks now\u2019s the time to take advantage of that potential. If Camilo Casas is elected to the city council in Boulder, Colorado, this November, he promises he will not make any decision by himself. Instead, he plans to put that power in the hands of the people via a liquid democracy app called Parti.Vote.\nCasas built the app himself, and as he explained to Motherboard, he designed it to facilitate a liquid democracy. The idea is that instead of simply hoping their elected representatives support their stance on issues, citizens will be empowered to directly affect policy-making by voting through the app.\nIf Casas were to be elected, citizens of Boulder would sign up for the app online, with Casas\u2019 team vetting each person to prevent fraud. Casas would then vote according to how the people in the community did through the app. For example, if more than 50 percent voted \u201cyes\u201d on an issue or policy, Casas would vote the same way, regardless of his personal stance on the issue. Only when the citizen votes resulted in a tie would he be forced to decide based on his own beliefs.\nCasas\u2019 hope is that by effectively handing over his power as an elected official to an app, he\u2019ll be able to create a liquid democracy that is more equitable than the representative one we currently have in the U.S. \u201cI personally am convinced that when you have to lobby a constituency rather than an elected office you will on average get more democratic and consensual outcomes,\u201d he told Motherboard.\nFor the People?\nThe idea of using technology to empower voters to directly influence policy has its appeal. If he is elected, Casas\u2019 vote would actually represent the will of the people \u2014 the ideal outcome for a democratic system but one that was impractical in the pre-internet world. Democracy would get a more transparent tinge, and citizens could become more invested in policy-making knowing they have the ability to directly influence it.\nHowever, Casas\u2019 proposal isn\u2019t without its risks. For one, technologically savvy citizens could be overrepresented as their smartphone-lacking counterparts metaphorically stay home from the polls. As with anything digital, the possibility of hacking or fraud must also be taken into account.\nStill, Casas is convinced that Parti.Vote represents a step in the right direction. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to build the perfect system of democratic participation,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to improve the system we have.\u201d\nHe isn\u2019t alone in his belief that we should use technology to create a liquid democracy. The makers of the Sovereign app propose using blockchain to give people a direct say on important issues, while a candidate for New York City\u2019s public advocate post wants to rely on an app called NYSpeaks to solicit direct feedback. Meanwhile, another blockchain-based app called Flux supported 13 candidates in Australia\u2019s 2016 federal elections.\nWhile Casas admits that a win in November is \u201crather unlikely,\u201d he is drawing attention to an important issue simply by running: We have the technology to improve our political system. Isn\u2019t it time we try using it?\nA New Blockchain App Is Poised to Radically Change How People Vote\nDemocracy 2.0: What Would a Post-Voting Society Look Like?",

It works best with a progressive approach, which means the difficulty of the movements can be adjusted according to your fitness level.\nInstead of using weights or a machine, a particular movement can be made easier or more advanced by adjusting leverage or body position.\nTake for example a regular pull-up:\nIf you are a beginner who is unable to do a regular pull-up yet, you can start developing your strength with an easier movement such as a reverse pull-up, where you position your body underneath the bar while holding it and slowly pull yourself upward.\nMost of the exercises just require floor space with no additional equipment.\nHowever, if you\u2019re up for a challenge, investing in calisthenics workout equipment can help take your training to the next level.\nIf you\u2019ve decided to focus on doing calisthenics exercises, paying for a regular gym membership is going to be a waste of money.\nWhile most commercial gyms have great machines and other exercise equipment, these are typically designed for cardio exercises, circuit training, and weight lifting.\nThe equipment you need for calisthenics are for a specific set of skills and progressions.\nIt doesn\u2019t make sense to focus so much on using the stationary bike and treadmill if your goal is to do a diamond push-up, does it?\nBuilding your own calisthenics heaven right in the comforts of your own home does not even have to be expensive.\nYou can easily adjust your setup based on the availability of budget and space. You don\u2019t even have to buy everything all at once.\nThink of the value of what you\u2019re going to get from having your own calisthenics gym at home!\nIf you need more convincing, here are more benefits you can get from investing in the best calisthenics equipment for home:\nSave money on expensive gym memberships.\nWorkout anytime!\nImprove your performance with the right equipment that supports your progression.\nHave your own space that matches your workout preferences 100%,\nYou can invite other fitness enthusiasts and enjoy a good calisthenics workout right in the comforts of your own home.\nExcited to build your own calisthenics home gym yet?\nBefore you get started here are some things to think about to help you create a more practical and stimulating environment for your workouts.\nFirst, consider how much space you have for your equipment.\nYour approach to planning should be different when you only have a small amount of bedroom space versus when you have a whole garage. Think about how you\u2019re going to use the space you have and what you can do with it structurally (eg. can you bolt fixtures?) in order to maximize your setup.\nSecond, plan your purchases to maximize what you can do with your money.\nIt\u2019s easy to adjust the equipment in your calisthenics home gym depending on your budget. If you have limited resources, you can choose to invest key equipment that is essential to improving your performance. On the other hand, if you have a huge budget, you may choose to go all out.\nThat said, there are many ways to save money when purchasing calisthenics equipment. Just make sure to always keep safety in mind and always purchase from reliable suppliers.\nLastly, you should always think about your training goals. The equipment you purchase should help you with your progressions. Prioritize buying the equipment that will help you in the areas you want to focus on.\nWithout further ado, here are some of the best calisthenics equipment for home.\nIf you want to start building your home gym with something simple, try investing in a set of quality resistance bands first.\nThey offer an effective and convenient way to build muscle strength, flexibility, and mobility.\nAs the name suggests, resistance bands provide resistance to make bodyweight exercises more difficult and can also be used as an assistive aid when working on pull-ups or dips.\nFor more advanced practitioners, flat loop bands can also provide assistance for progressions to movements such as human flags or back levers.\nIt is best to purchase two or three bands with different resistance levels so you can use them for various exercise types.\nTry Ironcore Athletics pullup Assistance Bands, which comes in four different sizes and resistance levels.\nIt\u2019s a bit pricier than sets offered by other brands but it\u2019s a good buy because it is made of high-quality material that won\u2019t break and snap on your face in the middle of an exercise.\nIf you only want to start with just one band, try to get your hands on the Rubberbanditz Single pullup Resistance Band, which offers a tension range of 40-80 lbs.\nYou can check out the Rubberbanditz website for videos that you can follow to add variations to your typical workout.\nTraining for pullups is a great way to build upper body strength and back muscles.\nIt\u2019s the foundation of other movements such the kipping pull-ups and the box bar muscle ups.\nThis is why you home calisthenics gym won\u2019t be complete without a proper pull-up bar.\nSome calisthenics practitioners may even argue that a pullup bar is the most important exercise equipment you can purchase to help improve your calisthenics workouts.\nBuying a pullup bar, however, isn\u2019t as straightforward as buying other home gym equipment.\nFirst, pull-up bars come in four varieties and you should consider how much space you have and how you intend to workout before choosing.\nDoorway pull-up bars \u2013 Doorway pull-up bars are convenient because they can be installed anywhere in your home without major carpentry work. Some models can even be used for exercises other than pull-ups.\nFree standing pull-up bars \u2013 A free standing pull-up bar is more flexible than a doorway pull-up bar, but it also doesn\u2019t require you to put screws on your ceilings and walls. Some models are even portable and may easily be disassembled and packed if you want to bring it with you on your travels.\nCeiling-mounted pull-up bars \u2013 A ceiling-mounted pull-up bar can help you enjoy a safer and more intense workout. Among all the options, this kind can bear the heaviest load. The highest quality ceiling-mounted pull-up bars can carry up to 200 kilograms.\nWall-mounted pull-up bars \u2013 Like ceiling-mounted pull-up bars, wall-mounted pull-up bars are stable and can allow you to do intense exercises. Make sure that the bar extends from the wall to allow you to perform free-flowing movements.\nIf you are just starting out with pull-ups, safety and stability should be your priority.\nYour main goal is to strengthen your muscles while learning how to be more comfortable with the movement.\nTry Gorilla Gym\u2019s Gym1 Power Fitness Package which is specifically designed to help you master your first push up.\nIt\u2019s convenient to install and more stable than other options. This model also allows you to perform other exercises aside from pull-ups.\nIf you travel often or if you enjoy bringing your workouts outside your home, you might be interested in Gravity Fitness Portable Pull Up Rack.\nIt\u2019s collapsible, portable, and weighs only 19 kilograms. Don\u2019t worry, it is safe, sturdy, and can carry up to 110 kilograms.\nWhat\u2019s the best way to upgrade your workout and transform just about any activity into a resistance exercise?\nTwo words: Weighted Vests.\nThey are deceivingly simple but they can make your workouts more intense by adding extra bodyweight and resistance.\nYou can use your weighted vests in practically all your bodyweight exercises.\nImagine how much your muscles will develop with all the extra load you are carrying while doing all the rigorous movements.\nBefore attempting to use weighted vests, you have to make sure that you actually know how to perform the exercises quickly and correctly, otherwise, you risk getting injured.\nIdeally, you should have been training for at least 6 months before trying out weighted vests to ensure that you\u2019ve already developed the necessary muscle strength.\nSo, just what kind of weighted vests should you purchase?\nThe Hyper Vest PRO Adjustable Vest is a pretty solid choice. It feels like a compression shirt that allows you to move more freely without feeling bulky.\nEach vest comes preloaded with 10 pounds of weight, but it can be easily adjusted according to your fitness level.\nIf you are up for a bigger challenge, you might want to check out the RunMax Pro Weighted Vest.\nThey may look compact but they can add up to 60 pounds of body weight to your exercises.\nDon\u2019t worry, you can easily reduce the weight if you want a lighter workout.\nA power tower is useful exercise equipment that can help you with a variety of movements including pull-ups, chin-ups, dips, and core exercises.\nBoth beginners and seasoned calisthenics athletes can benefit from using a tower because it can help with simple and complicated exercises in a progression.\nReally, you won\u2019t get bored with this one because there are just so many things you can do.\nBut you need space in your home in order to use a power tower efficiently.\nPower towers may seem pretty expensive but it can actually be pretty cost-efficient, especially if you choose the right model.\nHere are some specific power towers that are so worth checking out.\nTry the XMark Fitness XM-4446 Power Tower.\nIt\u2019s a safe, sturdy and will allow you to do a variety of exercises conveniently. Because it is made from heavy-duty materials, it won\u2019t shake as your exercises become more intense.\nAnother great option is the Golds Gym XR 10.9 Power Tower.\nBecause of its versatility, you can easily do a range of exercises that will train your core and body.\nDon\u2019t worry, both models are pretty cost-effective!\nGloves are a real gamechanger if you want to improve your performance in certain exercises. In addition to helping improve your grip, the right kind of gloves can also help you keep your hands safe from calluses and injury.\nHowever, choosing gloves can be really tricky.\nChoose the wrong pair and you\u2019ll end up doing more damage to your hands.\nSome of the things you should analyze when purchasing a pair of gloves are the material, flexibility, and wrist support.\nDepending on your preference, you can choose gloves with fingers or gloves without fingers. Both versions can help you reach your fitness goals.\nIf you want protection for your full palm, try Fit Active Sports Weight Lifting Gloves.\nIt covers your whole palm while still allowing you to move comfortably. It\u2019s a great choice whether you are a beginner who is trying to things out for the first time or you just want to do something that will help improve your grip.\nProFitness Cross Training Gloves, on the other hand, are a good choice if you prefer fingerless gloves.\nThey allow for more movement while still protecting your hands from calluses and possible abrasions.\nTo maximize your workouts, here are some small items that you might want to purchase as well:\nIf you have a tight budget, don\u2019t feel pressured to purchase everything all at once. Consider building your calisthenics home gym as a long-term project.\nIt might actually even be more beneficial for you to make your purchases as your skill level improves instead of buying everything all at once.\nThis way, you can focus on buying the equipment that supports the specific skills that you want to improve.\nJust make sure that you have space for everything you buy. Plan your layout and measure everything to make sure that your workout haven won\u2019t be too cramped.\nDon\u2019t forget to invite your fitness friends over once your home gym is fully operational!\nRemember, even if you have the best calisthenics home gym in the world, you won\u2019t get the results you want if stay committed to the process.\nIt won\u2019t be easy to stick to all the workout, but it will be worth it once you see results.\nBy the way, you might want to subscribe to the Garage Gym Power\u2019s newsletter for the latest fitness trends and more tips on looking for the best calisthenics equipment for home.\nWhere and How to Install Gymnastic Rings at Home?\nIs There an Exercise that I can do Every Day for the Rest of My Life?",

Why have we found no evidence for any for those civilizations?

Fusco for GPTMC)\nThis story is part of \"Community Development\" month of the Generocity Editorial Calendar. Find the series here.\nCool Things Wit Cool People is a monthly column by Akeem Dixon focusing on community development. To ask a question, email coolthingswitcoolpeople@gmail.com, or reach out @akeemdixon.\nAs cities change, so too do the amenities that its residents desire.\nThis is certainly the case in Philly and many cities in transition like it. One such amenity going through a host of changes is bike lanes and the policies that not only affect the physical makeup of the streets but also transportation patterns.\nIn this edition of Dear Akeem, we will switch gears with Randy LoBasso, the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia\u2019s communications manager, and learn about the role his organization plays in many of the bike-themed changes occurring in the city. Here\u2019s what\u2019s transpired recently, how the org has worked to engage communities and why safer streets for cyclists mean safer streets for all.\nAkeem Dixon: Let\u2019s start with the training wheels on. Tell us all about the Bicycle Coalition \u2014 its origins and the role it plays in the city\u2019s bike culture.\nRandy LoBasso: The Bicycle Coalition began in 1972 as part of the environmentalism and Earth Day phenomenon. The idea, at the time, was that bicycling could be an alternative to the motor vehicle and make cities less clogged, less congested and healthier. I think that is still attainable, but the idea of how we do that has changed dramatically. There are still many members of the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia who ride their bicycle because they\u2019re doing their part to help the environment, but there is a much larger, more equitable goal of transportation options for everyone, and clean air for everyone.\nOur members want a better and safer Philadelphia region for anyone who wants to ride a bike. Reaching that goal involves educating people on bicycling and advocating for safer streets through infrastructure, and all sorts of other cool stuff.\nWhy should non-bicyclists care about bike lanes (and everything else BCGP advocates for)?\nBike lanes are not just a way to help organize streets, they\u2019re also a traffic calming tool. Studies and field tests have shown that where bike lanes are installed, crashes amongst all people \u2014 bikes and cars, cars and pedestrians, cars and cars \u2014 go down. When we make streets safer for cyclists, we make them safer for everyone. It\u2019s basically that simple. Cyclists are less likely to ride on the sidewalk where protected bike lanes are installed, because they feel safer, which is good for pedestrians.\nThrough our Vision Zero Alliance , we are helping organize many within Philadelphia\u2019s nonprofit community to make streets after and more accessible for the future. One of our campaigns with the Alliance is about legalizing speed cameras at the state level so Philadelphia can utilize this technology, that\u2019s already used all over the United States. We know that the presence of speed cameras can lower injurious crashes by about 20 percent. Philadelphia is, per capita, one of the most dangerous cities for traffic violence in the country.\nBreak down the Vision Zero Alliance for those folks who only ride a bike during family BBQs and block parties. Why is this so important, what role does it play in the bike phenomenon, and why should it be bookmarked on our computers?\nThe Vision Zero Alliance is a large group of organizations from around Philadelphia and the state that want bicycling, walking and driving to be safe for anyone who does any of those things. We started what actually became the Vision Zero Alliance during the last mayoral election. We wanted to make sure that safety for all road users was prioritized by the next mayoral administration.\n[Editor\u2019s note: \u201cVision Zero\u201d refers to a goal of zero traffic-related deaths.]\nDuring that time, we met with every candidate \u2014 and many candidates for City Council, as well \u2014 and laid out a plan we felt would be important to be enacted over the following four years. The plan included creating new, protected bike lanes, for sure, but it also included creating a Vision Zero or Complete Streets office within the administration, hiring a Complete Streets director, and pushing for low-cost infrastructure changes throughout the city that would make all our streets safer, no matter how people choose to get around. All candidates signed onto it, and spoke about it at a forum we held later during the campaign.\nThe Alliance, since then, has expanded and includes business groups, neighborhood organizations, and even motorist groups like Uber and AAA. We may not agree on all issues, but we\u2019ve decided to come together on things we do agree on \u2014 like, say, the installation of speed cameras on Philadelphia\u2019s most dangerous streets, which is good for pedestrians and motorists, which is why they\u2019re all involved. Having motorist groups involved also shows the legislators we can crossover with groups who have different priorities because of how important many of these issues are.\nThe Coalition has worked in varying capacities with City Council. How has that relationship evolved over the years as the demographics and wants of the communities members they represent have drastically changed?\nOne thing we\u2019ve learned is that many Councilmembers \u2014 especially District Council members \u2014 listen almost solely to their constituents and will use that to reject many cyclists\u2019 requests and concerns. We\u2019ve made a point to go out into neighborhoods and listen to what communities want, and how cycling fits into their lives.\nBut it\u2019s worth knowing what a community believes in and our work fits into their lives before we go demanding any specific piece of infrastructure, or whatever, to a Councilperson. As with any social or social justice advocacy, it\u2019s worthwhile if it comes from the ground up, not the top down.\nIndego, Philadelphia\u2019s bike share program. (Photo by J. Fusco for Visit Philadelphia)\nIronically, biking has become a characteristic of gentrification even though it\u2019s the cheapest means of transportation other than walking. How has the Coalition been able to represent a diverse ridership group that includes 9-to-5ers headed to work, parents hauling their children in the front basket, and groups of children interrupting traffic.\nThis is an issue that\u2019s persistent not just in Philadelphia, but throughout the United States. I think, for the most part, bicycling advocacy groups have typically been homogenous and have not done a good job of describing how bicycling is a holistic part of social goods, similar to city services, health care, and other issues that affect all our lives every day.\nBicycling is, in part, a characteristic of gentrification because so many of the people often seen on bicycles are young and white. And when developers are building up a neighborhood, one of the amenities they seek to provide are bicycling infrastructure, whether it be bike lanes, or parking, or whatever.\nWe often hear two things from people around Philadelphia:\nWhy is the city building bike lanes for the new residents? and\nWhy weren\u2019t there bike lanes here 10 or 15 years ago?\nI think there are serious equity issues in Philadelphia that need to be addressed, and we are working to address the ones relevant to us; but many of the bike lane concerns, I think, also misconceptions. Before the building boom of the last decade, the city had more than 200 miles of bike lanes, more than most cities around the United States. A large portion of those lanes, which began installation in the 1990s, were in neighborhoods outside Center City. In fact, we really didn\u2019t get our first Center City lanes until 2009 \u2014 more than a decade after on-street lanes began installation, and several decades after the Schuylkill River Trail broke ground.\nThat all said, gentrification is a serious issue in Philadelphia. And as neighborhoods change, and bike lanes are upgraded, we intend to work with communities to assure those upgrades are understood by all interested parties, and that communities themselves are part of the process the entire way.\nOne of the things the Bicycle Coalition and our partners in the Vision Zero Alliance are working on is getting a better understanding of what people in neighborhoods outside Center City want, and how to how to help them get it. That may sound a bit trivial, but there\u2019s a reason the West Chestnut Street bike lane doesn\u2019t extend all the way to Cobbs Creek, and we want to find out why that is.\nIn some cases, we may find that neighborhoods simply don\u2019t want bike infrastructure. In others, which was the case during a meeting in West Philadelphia last winter, neighbors west of 45th Street asked why the Chestnut Street bike lane was only in the so-called \u201cwhite\u201d part of West Philly \u2014 the \u201cUniversity City\u201d part, so to speak. This is, unfortunately, another example of how bicycle infrastructure can be associated with gentrification.\nAdditionally, the Bicycle Coalition is part of the Better Bike Share Partnership, along with the City of Philadelphia, People for Bikes and the National Association of City Transportation Officials. The Better Bike Share Partnership seeks to bring bike sharing to diverse audiences and create equity where there typically has not been any. Several of our staff members lead rides and provide education about bike sharing in neighborhoods throughout the city.\nYouth, advocating, and education are highlights of the Coalition\u2019s three-year plan. What are some initiatives that you are excited about that touch each key element?\nI\u2019m really excited about Bicycle Coalition Youth Cycling. This is a program which teaches the sport of competitive cycling to Philadelphia youth throughout the city. BCYC was previously an independent organization and was adopted by the Bicycle Coalition in 2013. This program fosters leadership and independence through the sport of cycling in Philadelphia.\nAdditionally, some of the students have gotten involved in advocacy work and I am currently working with one youth to lead a ride of City Councilmembers (their idea) through West Philadelphia, Strawberry Mansion and Center City to show them the good, the bad and the ugly of Philadelphia\u2019s street infrastructure.\nBike lingo is often lost when a biker is trying to signal a turn. Where can drivers go to learn about the language that bikers are speaking while riding on cramped streets.\nWe have a lot of resources on our website \u2014 but PennDOT and the City of Philadelphia have information on their sites, too. There are lots of resources online to learn the best ways to drive around cyclists, and know what cyclists mean when they\u2019re using hand signals to turn or stop.\nWhat sort of education programming is in place, or should be in place, to teach Philadelphians \u2014 those who drive, especially \u2014 about Philly\u2019s bike laws? Also to teach cyclists that ride on the sidewalk or fail to use turning signals.\nI think the best education is seeing other people doing the right thing. As far as our education programming goes, the stuff Better Bike Share is doing with [Philadelphia\u2019s bike share program] Indego is, I think, fantastic for our city.\nWe actually found out, through that initiative, that many people were taught from a young age to ride their bikes against traffic \u2014 which is not only wrong, but is actually more dangerous. Our staff members, volunteers and ambassadors are working throughout Philadelphia help teach safe riding and correct form, while understanding that, hey, not everyone was necessarily taught every bike law while they were growing up. And even if you were: Times change, laws change.\nI always recommend an Urban Riding Basics course (one of our free classes) for cyclists just starting out, and those who\u2019ve been riding for years.But education is just a piece of the puzzle. Better communication amongst communities and better infrastructure are the keys to success.\nThere is a robust \u201cVictories\u201d section on the Coalition website. What are a few wins that the group would like to secure in the not so distant future?\nHonestly, my main victory goal is a connected network throughout Philadelphia which can connect anyone, in any neighborhood, to any other neighborhood, and especially to Center City, where most Philadelphians work.\nIn the short term, we have a plan we\u2019ve dubbed Hub and Spoke, which would create protected infrastructure around Center City (the hub) and protected lanes into Center City from each near-neighborhood (the spokes). This would not only create easier, less stressful rides for those who already commute; it would create new commuters, get more cars off the street, ease congestion and make Philadelphia a better place to live.\nI hopped on a bike for the first time in two years the other day. I felt exactly the same. I still can\u2019t figure out how to make a bike seat comfortable \u2014 which is fitting, as some things associated with bicycles lead to uncomfortable conversation. Potholes included.\nA small, niche group, has banded together to make their daily commute, preferred method of transportation and favorite leisure activity much safer and accessible. This includes the addition of bike share stations, protected bike lanes (shoutout to the guy who almost hit me on on JFK Boulevard) as well as brand new white lanes in some of the poorest neighborhoods around the city that never had them before. However, many of the bikers leading the charge don\u2019t look like Meek Mill.\nAs poverty remains an issue, options to navigate the city are even more essential. We\u2019ve been told, \u201cYou\u2019ll never forget how to ride a bike.\u201d In a city with a 25.7 percent poverty rate, it\u2019s hard to collectively forget that riding a bike is one of the cheapest and cleanest forms of transportation.",

        "title": "How to Make Your Ex Jealous (in 5 Easy Steps)",
        "raw_content": "How to Make Your Ex Jealous (in 5 Easy Steps)\nBefore you read any further, I want to make one thing clear. Jealousy is an incredibly powerful tool that can really mess with people\u2019s heads and even hurt them if used irresponsibly. So if you\u2019re here looking for advice on how to manipulate or emotionally wound someone, you\u2019re at the wrong virtual address. However, if you\u2019re just bummed out about a bad breakup and would like to give your ex a reminder on what they\u2019re missing out on, keep reading!\nJealousy is a funny little thing. It starts off as an annoying little twinge at the back of our minds and it can build into a raging demon that makes us care about things that we hardly gave a damn about before. But for it to really be effective, it needs to be a subtle process. You see, jealousy isn\u2019t something that you can shove in your ex\u2019s face. You can\u2019t just send her a picture of you with a hot girl and scream \u201csuck on that!\u201d So here\u2019s how you go about doing it the proper way\u2026\nStep 1: You stop contacting her\nThe urge to contact your ex right after a breakup can be one of the most overwhelming feelings ever. Trust me I\u2019ve been there and I know. But if you want your jealousy plotline to take root, this is the first and most important step that you need to start off with. You see, cutting contact with your ex alone isn\u2019t going to make her jealous, but what it will do is get her wondering what you\u2019re up to and what\u2019s going on in your life. This way her own mind does half the work for you.\nUsually after a couple of weeks of not hearing from you at all, you\u2019ll start getting the odd text message or two asking how you are holding up or how your life is. Ignore that shit like the plague. When you do this her mind will start formulating all kinds of \u201cwhat if\u201d scenarios without you having to say a damn word.\n\u201cWhat if he\u2019s already met someone?\u201d\n\u201cWhat if she\u2019s hotter than me?\u201d\n\u201cWhat if I take ages to meet someone as good?\u201d\nAnd just like that the seeds of jealousy will start flourishing in her mind, allowing you to move onto more direct approaches.\nStep 2: You start improving your own life\nIf you were to randomly bump into your ex today, would she be impressed with how great you look or would she feel sorry about how far you\u2019ve let yourself go? If you feel like it would be the latter, you have a lot of buckling up to do. You see, women always want to believe that they were the best thing that happened to you. Even the most unselfish of exes, somewhere deep down, wants to know that you\u2019re pining away for them. I suppose it\u2019s just human nature.\nThe instant your ex sees that you\u2019re not losing sleep and letting yourself go over her, it\u2019s going to create that worry in her mind that she wasn\u2019t as great as she thought she was. Maybe she wasn\u2019t the hottest girlfriend you ever had, or maybe she wasn\u2019t the best lay of your life. Because if she was, surely you\u2019d be sulking around a whole lot more. When this happens she is going to be full up to the brim with jealousy and anger.\nSo if you\u2019re still moaning and moping around about the ex you just lost, just stop. Think of this as an opportunity to upgrade yourself to an even better version of you than ever before. Join a gym, get a new haircut and buy yourself some sick new clothes. Whatever you do, focus all that negative energy and sadness into making your life better than it ever was.\nStep 3: You use indirect jealousy\nRemember what I said before about subtlety being key? Well, there\u2019s nothing quite as subtle and quite as effective as some good-old indirect jealousy. You see, you might sometimes feel that after your breakup your ex doesn\u2019t give a damn about what\u2019s going on with you. But the chances are that she\u2019s actually paying close attention through one way or another. She just won\u2019t be letting you in on it. In fact, I once met a girl who told me that whenever she breaks up with a guy, she always makes sure she has at least a couple of mutual friends with him on Facebook so that she can keep track of what\u2019s new in his life.\nSo how do you use this knowledge to your advantage? Well, you make your life look as frickin\u2019 awesome as possible. Start focusing on meeting new people (the more hot women the better) and doing new exciting things that you always wanted to do; and document it all on your social media pages. You can bet that your ex will be paying close attention and feeling progressively more jealous as she sees you meeting new people and doing all sorts of fun, exciting things without her.\nStep 4: You start dating again\nFirst of all, a word to the wise \u2013 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s cool at all to lead people on or to give them false hopes. So you should always be upfront and honest about your intentions. Remember, you\u2019re not looking for the next big love of your life right now. Instead focus on just meeting new people and having fun. In fact, it doesn\u2019t even matter if your \u201cdate\u201d is just a female friend that you like hanging out with.\nIf you and your ex share a circle of friends, you can be sure that she\u2019ll get to know about these dates of yours. And if not, all you have to do is put up an innocuous picture of you and your date doing something fun in public, and I guarantee she\u2019ll take notice. But remember, like I mentioned before, subtlety is key. You don\u2019t want to shove a picture of you making out with some girl in your ex\u2019s face. You want there to be sufficient doubt as to what exactly is going on so that you ex\u2019s imagination can run free and create all sorts of jealous thoughts while at it.\nStep 5: You use direct jealousy\nDirect jealousy can only be used in this type of situation if you\u2019ve followed each of the steps that I\u2019ve listed out before. You see, for direct jealousy to work there already needs to be a certain amount of jealousy present in your ex\u2019s mind. If not you\u2019re just going to come off as try-hard or desperate.\nThere are a ton of simple things that you can do to really intensify the jealousy plotline with some direct jealousy at this stage. For example you can text your ex randomly and say \u201cHey, I saw this movie and it reminded me of the time we watched it together.\u201d And when she asks what the movie is, name one that you\u2019re sure the two of you haven\u2019t watched together. Her reply will usually be something along the lines of \u201cErm\u2026no\u2026\u201d And this is where you deliver the death blow and say, \u201cOh, maybe it was someone else.\u201d\nOr let\u2019s say that you randomly run into your ex. Ask her how her life has been and genuinely compliment her on how she looks. And then when she least expects it, tell her that you know a guy that you think would be perfect for her and ask if you should set the two up. If you\u2019ve played your cards right and built your jealousy plotline correctly, this will drive her mad with jealousy.\nNow before you run off to use these tactics on your ex, I want you to take a moment to think about what your motives are. If you\u2019re looking to hurt them or get some kind of petty revenge, your energy is really better spent focusing on something else. But if you genuinely would like a second shot or just want to gently remind your ex about what they\u2019re missing out on, by all means put this knowledge to good use.",

He also co-founded Firefly Network, a spinoff from his work at the MIT Media Lab, that he sold to Microsoft.\nPlenty of holiday shoppers spent hours puzzling over which e-reader to purchase, comparing traits like screen size and battery life, and weighing non-tech specs like the utility of being able to lend a book once for 14 days (Nook) and the whether it matters that a company (Amazon) can delete a customer\nAmazon Books companies e-readers Features guest voices Kindle media & publishing PaidContent Sony\nAn E-Book Gifting Campaign, Starting On Cyber Monday\nkwn2196 January 10th, 2010\nI think it\u2019s too early to answer most of these questions. Amazon has a head start but it also has a lot of competition. Book publishing has been thrown into turmoil by the abrupt rise in popularity of ebooks\u2013 mostly because of the Kindle. Publishers are scrambling to find a new business model that fits the digital age; the one they have didn\u2019t really make much money in the print age, so they\u2019re not having an easy time of it. In the long run, I think things will be better for those who can afford at least a minimal ereader (which should be a lot cheaper in 10 years) because books themselves are bound to get cheaper once publishers no longer have to support the old practice of printing and shipping thousands of books, many of which did no sell and they had to accept back from the booksellers. It\u2019s a lot like a revolution; things may get better in the long run, but it won\u2019t be easy and not everyone will survive.\nGeorge Busa January 9th, 2010\nE-readers are an exciting technology but there is no single device that seems to be compelling to consumers as of yet. However, readers on phones are quite popular and seem to attract free premium content such as The Street, CNN etc. The e-readers such as Kindle and Nook are considered to be used and sold by content sellers who have no underlying interest to provide or distribute low cost or free content. In fact their \u201cpipes\u201d are like cable TV; you pay your provider for their programming offerings and as you know, the programming costs continually become more expensive to access.\nThe e-devices could have become wildly successful and may be so in the future, if the public school systems across the country insist that all textbooks be provided digitally on open standards e-book readers. This would force textbook publishers no excuses to provide such a book at a greatly reduced price and still maintain the same profit margins but without the cost of book materials, manufacturing and distribution of the textbook itself. Surely you would think Universities would do the same but one needs to contemplate that the reason no school has adapted a mandate to have all students use e-book textbooks is that, the schools and teachers may have a financial interest to maintain the current physical book status quo.\nUltimately what book sellers and schools may fear, is that e-book may well be available in electronic lending libraries to be borrowed for a tiny license fee instead of a library paying for the book up-front. Could this be the reason a Publishers fears e-readers or and for any format of pay content? It may mean that paid content must be superior with the danger of the paid format being rejected outright to alternatives such to sponsored or traditional advertising models and even hybrid models combining paid / advertising models.\nPublishers of all stripes will need to address their content being available for free or pay on all platforms to be competitive and will also need to take a leadership role as to whom will control their destiny. Amazon and Barns & Noble are major distributors of books whom are establishing foothold in the world of digital books; if not they will wither and go away just as some Publishers will if they do not get involved with this issue\nAndrew Day January 8th, 2010\nUpendra, I agree that Amazon was wrong to remove 1984 from customers\u2019 Kindles, and hope that as the ereader market develops, competition will force it to treat them with more respect, understanding that their books are _theirs_. But I think you\u2019re too quick to imply that Amazon is to blame for ebooks being expensive and hard to share. We know that Amazon has tried to cut ebook prices, but book publishers have blocked them doing so. And I doubt very much that Amazon would hesitate to make books shareable, if publishers would go along with this. Indeed, I expect that in the next year or so, we\u2019ll see Amazon or another retailer allowing customers to share books with other readers, so long as they\u2019ve all bought subscriptions to a virtual library that includes those books. This is the 19th-century subscription lending library model, and I think it holds great promise as a means of making ebooks more popular, and more important as a means of disseminating ideas, narratives, and argument. No, this won\u2019t make ebooks free, but a subscription system, I think, will make them much cheaper, on a per-item basis, than they are now. And I can certainly see public libraries and schools getting free subscriptions, as a loss leader by retailers, with those subscriptions allowing sharing only to other library members or students. Ebooks\u2019 limited impact, to this point, is due not to technical limitations or reader reluctance, but to a failure of imagination on the part of publishers and retailers. I\u2019d bet that Amazon will be in the forefront of changing this \u2013 and if not, it won\u2019t survive as a major player in publishing.\nMichael Scott January 8th, 2010\nMany of the problems noted are due to myopic policies of copyright owners, not the technology companies or the technology itself. Amazon would be thrilled if it could allow Kindles to be used by libraries and would see it as a distinct plus if titles could be shared. Don\u2019t blame the technology or the vendors. Blame the book industry that is holding on to a dead business model.\nJuho Heikkil\u00c3\u00a4 January 8th, 2010\nGood points. However, I\u2019d like to point out a problem with your point 7. It\u2019s only true very theoretically. In practice, however there is a very common problem with any long term digital storage: formats. I have great doubts that any data formats in use today will be readable in, say 50 years. There are few possible exeptions: plain text, possibly jpeg and png. For any proprietary formats I wouldn\u2019t bet for significantly longer lifetime than 10 years. And of course, even if the data formats themselves are readable, it is essential to be able to transfer the files to a fresh physical media every few years.\nD Carroll January 8th, 2010\nAmazon\u2019s proprietary approach will probably not be successful over time, unless the competition really drops the ball. Regarding your list:\n1. e-readers will drop in price over time; most likely will be merged with another device\n2. there is no model for a secondary market \u2013 it won\u2019t exist.\n3. e-readers will be cheap enough that you could own more than one or on more than one device. sharing rules in other sectors already allow up to 3 copies. in the future, access for various content will probably be on an Internet server in a user account and streamed/cached to the device of choice.\n5. Libraries will evolve into multimedia outlets, and get special licenses.\n6. Physical copies or decentralized files will remain for \u201cillegal\u201d books \u2013 they won\u2019t be covered by copyright laws, so an infinite number of copies will be available everywhere.\nDaniel Stasiewski January 8th, 2010\nHi Upendra. Dan from OverDrive here. I just wanted to make a brief comment about your fifth point, regarding libraries.\nOverDrive\u2019s download service enables more than 10,000 public libraries around the world offer free eBook downloads for devices like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble nook, and a growing list of e-readers. You can find libraries here: http://search.overdrive.com. These are best-selling, popular, and new release eBooks, not the titles you\u2019ll find for free on Google. Plus, they can be downloaded to a personal computer to be read on the screen or transfered to devices.\nIf you have any questions about the service, let me know.\nKathy Gillis January 6th, 2010\nMany Falun Gong practitioners have memorized the book Zhuan Falun, which outlines the principles of their practice. The former president of the Chinese Communist Party has vowed to eliminate all Falun Gong practitioners and the current president is trying to fulfill that objective. There have been massive book burnings in China.\nCommunism doesn\u2019t tolerate belief systems they can\u2019t control..\nIf you are a Christian I suggest that you might want to start committing the bible to memory. The Chinese Communist Party is very ambitious.\nEd Dunn January 6th, 2010\nThere was this guy I remember named Max Metral who used to run a site off MIT called Rare Grooves but that\u2019s another story. It seems the biggest factor to all your failures listed is the implementation of wi-fi connectivity on these e-books. I still think a disconnected e-book model would be a better solution to ensure issues like censorship and tracking what people read do not become an issue.",

What\u2019s the word for that?\nAfter an interview was published today in the Evening Standard where, among other things, Rad confuses the definition of \u201cintellectual\u201d and \u201csodomy\u201d (honest mistake), Business Insider pointed to an SEC filing from Tinder\u2019s parent company Match Group. The filing specifically disputes the user data in the article, which claims \u201canalysts believe\u201d Tinder has \u201caround 80 million users worldwide and records 1.8 billion \u2018swipes\u2019 a day\u201d:\nWhile these statements were not made by Mr. Rad, the Company notes that they are inaccurate and directs readers to the Preliminary Prospectus, which states that for the month of September 2015, Tinder had approximately 9.6 million daily active users, with Tinder users \u201cswiping\u201d through an average of more than 1.4 billion user profiles each day.\nThe problem here is that with Match Group\u2019s IPO happening this week, representatives of the company are not allowed to talk about certain aspects of the business, especially that kind of stuff. However, today\u2019s filing also asserts that Rad was not officially speaking on behalf of Tinder, not at all (even though the interview says he is the CEO and we know he is the CEO and Tinder\u2019s communications person was sitting right there):\nThe article was not approved or condoned by, and the content of the article was not reviewed by, the Company or any of its affiliates. Mr. Rad is not a director or executive officer of the Company and was not authorized to make statements on behalf of the Company for purposes of the article.\nThe filing then goes on to reprint the entire agonizingly uncomfortable interview IN FULL, sodomy and all.\nMeanwhile, we wait for Tinder\u2019s interns to mount an epic tweetstorm counteracting the interview, like the last time Tinder got negative press.",

Widely credited with revitalising a moribund UK film industry, the initiative represented a new intervention on the part of a public service broadcaster and, in turn, redefined the place of film on television with landmark strands from Film on Four to The Eleventh Hour. Channel 4 withstood early criticism from some industry voices and controversy aroused by its broadcast film provision; in 1987 its contribution to European cinema was recognised in the accolade of the Roberto Rosselini award at the Cannes film festival. Since then the international box office successes of many Film4 titles (from My Beautiful Laundrette and The Crying Game to Four Weddings and Funeral and Slumdog Millionaire), have made Film4 synonymous with a rejuvenated national cinema and established television as a vital cornerstone of government film policy. This special issue will investigate aspects of that legacy, casting a critical eye upon received wisdom, and drawing on new archival and interview material to offer a revisionist history of the broadcaster's rich and diverse contributions to British film culture.

A brief summary of the main provisions of the Bill follows.\nThe Bill proposes certain amendments to the Bankruptcy Act 1988 including automatic discharge from bankruptcy after three years instead of twelve, raising the level of debt required for a petition to be presented to \u20ac20,000, making an award of costs to the petitioner discretionary rather than automatic, and making any ongoing payment order have regard to the reasonable living expenses of the debtor and his family. In effect a creditor will have to consider the suitability of one of the alternative debt resolution processes before presenting a bankruptcy petition. The Bill also proposes that existing bankruptcies which are three or more years old will be discharged following a further six month period.\nIt is proposed that an Insolvency Service will be established. This will be an independent body whose role will include delivering on and monitoring the new personal insolvency arrangements outlined in the Bill and developing policy.\nDebt Relief Notices (DRNs) \u2013 (less than \u20ac20,000 unsecured debt)\nUnder the new insolvency regime envisaged by the Bill an eligible debtor will be able to apply to the insolvency service through an improved intermediary (most likely through someone like the money advice and budgeting service (MABS)) for a DRN. This procedure will allow the write off of qualifying debt up to \u20ac20,000 either by discharging half the debt or after a three-year period.\nTo be eligible for a DRN a debtor must, among other things, have qualifying debt of \u20ac20,000 less, net disposable income of 60 Euro or less a month, assets including savings of less than \u20ac400, and be insolvent with no likelihood of becoming solvent within five years.\nThe intermediary, through which the application is made, must be satisfied that the debtor is eligible for a DRN before applying to the insolvency service. Once the Insolvency Service is satisfied that the debtor is eligible for a DRN it will issue a certificate to the circuit court and if the terrific court is satisfied that all the criteria for the DRN have been met it will issue a DRN in respect of the qualifying debt.\nOnce they DRN has issued then for a period of three years the debtor is protected from actions taken by his or her creditors to recover the debt. However, the debtor must comply with the conditions of DRN including informing the insolvency service of any material change in the circumstances and in particular any increase or decrease in their assets and liabilities income.\nQualifying debt can be up to \u20ac20,000 and includes credit card debt, overdrafts or unsecured loans, utility bills and liquidated debts incurred other surety for another person (for example where a guarantee has been called in). Debt which will not qualify (i.e. excluded debt) includes liabilities under domestic support orders, debt owed to the state including under the household charge, rates, service charges, liabilities arising from a damages awarded by a Court and secured debt (e.g. debt secured by a mortgage)\nDebt Settlement Arrangements (DSAs) \u2013 (greater than \u20ac20,000 unsecured debt)\nDSAs will apply to unsecured debt involving amounts greater than \u20ac20,000. If the arrangement is accepted by the creditors and adhered to by the debtor over a five year period then the balance of the debtors debts, which are covered by the DSA, will be discharged. While a DSA is in effect, none of the debtor\u2019s unsecured creditors, which are bound by the DSA (including any who voted against it), may take any action against the debtor.\nIt is envisaged that a debtor will apply for a DSA through an insolvency practitioner. If the insolvency practitioner satisfied that the debtor qualified Bill make an application to the insolvency service for a protective certificate. If satisfied that the debtor qualified involved with the roof but then applied to the circuit court, who if satisfied that the debtor qualified will grant the protective certificate. The protective certificate protects the debtor from any legal action by his unsecured creditors for a period of up to 110 days (subject to a creditors right of appeal) in order to prepare a proposed DSA, setting out how the creditors are to be paid and in what amounts, for approval by the creditors. A creditors meeting will then be held at which 65% in value of the creditors must vote in favour of the DSA in order for it to be approved.\nTo be eligible for a DSA, among other things, the debtor must have unsecured qualifying debt of greater than \u20ac20,000, be insolvent without any prospect of becoming solvent within five years and have been unable to agree alternative payment arrangement with their creditors. The debtor cannot be an un-discharged bankrupt, subject to a DRN or a PIA or a protective certificate within the last 12 months.\nIf the debtor adheres to the DSA for the period of five years, the debt covered by the DSA will be discharged, however, if the debtor defaults and obligations or is in arrears for six months or more the DSA will be terminated and the debtor once again becomes liable for his or her debts in full.\nPersonal Insolvency Arrangements (PIAs) (\u20ac20,000 to \u20ac3 million secured and unsecured debts)\nThe PIA process will coversecured and unsecured debt. To qualify for a PIA the debtor will have to show that it has engaged with his or her secured creditors prior to applying for a PIA. It will not involve an automatic write down of secured debt. A key provision in relation to PIA is that a debtor cannot be required to make a level of payment that would mean that the debtor, and his or her dependence, would not have a reasonable standard of living. [Given the prevalence of mortgage arrears and negative equity this process could prove popular with debtors in relation to mortgage debt in particular].\nThe PIA process will allow a debtor to pay creditors a portion of what is owed over a six or seven year period after which they will be discharged from any further liability. Much like the DSA process the debtor will have to engage in insolvency practitioner to apply to the court for a protective certificate. The protective certificate (subject to appeal by a creditor) can be issued for a period of up to 110 days in order to allow the debtor and the insolvency practitioner to agree the terms of the PIA with the creditors and hold a creditors meeting. The PIA cannot require the debtor to sell their principal private residence unless the insolvency practitioner on the opinion that it is disproportionate to the needs of the debtor and his dependence.\nTo be approved a majority of the creditors representing not less than 65% in value of the total of the debt must vote in favour of the PIA. In addition, 50% in value of the secured creditors must vote in favour and 50% in value of the unsecured creditors must vote in favour of the PIA. Once notified a creditor has 21 days to lodge an objection to the PIA in the Court and make an application to have it set aside.\nThe PIA must be reviewed annually and where there is a change in the debtor\u2019s circumstances payment creditors can be increased subject to certain conditions. Where a debtor complies with the obligations in the PIA in the end of the six or seven year period they shall stand discharge from all the unsecured debts but only stand discharged of the secured debts which are specified in the PIA.\nSee also: Is a pension fund available to creditors? \u2013 New Personal Insolvency Legislation",

        "title": "Ending veteran homelessness in U.S.",
        "raw_content": "Why I am working to end veteran homelessness\nBy: Becky Kanis of 100K Homes\nWhen people find out that I work to end street homelessness for a living, they often offer me their unsolicited opinions about why homelessness exists in our society. Typically conservatives blame the individual and liberals blame the system, but both tend to ask me to confirm their opinions. The truth is that it is both the individual and the system, but that\u2019s not really the point, either. Yes, people are responsible for the decisions they make, including very bad decisions that put themselves and others in harm\u2019s way. At the same time, unpredictable events happen in all of our lives, and too often, the institutions and safety nets we\u2019ve put into place to mitigate those events fail us abysmally. After 9 years in the Army and 12 years working with homeless people, I feel certain that no one is beyond the reach of catastrophe or personal collapse. We are all responsible for what we are creating together, and that means that like it or not, we are all responsible for the fact that more than 57,000 veterans are homeless on the streets of America every night.\nLet me illustrate with a story from my own life.\nIt can be hard to explain this to civilians, but taking command of a unit in the military is a profound privilege. Commanders are entrusted with the lives of America\u2019s sons and daughters. The weight of even the possibility of making life or death decisions weighs heavily on every commander\u2019s soul. The importance of establishing and maintaining good order and discipline cannot be overstated. One rule of thumb for new commanders can be summed up with this adage: \u201cIt\u2019s easier to start tough and soften up later than the other way around.\u201d At age 27, as the first woman ever to command Bravo Company, 112th Signal Battalion, (Special Operations) (Airborne) out of Fort Bragg, NC., I took that advice seriously.\nNot even a week into command, the Non-Commissioned Officers in my company approached me about a problem that needed solving: Specialist Johnson. Turns out Specialist Johnson had a drinking problem, so much so that he repeatedly showed up for morning PT still intoxicated from the night before. And, to make matters worse, he had already been through the Army\u2019s substance abuse treatment program and he was still blowing it.\nDetermined to demonstrate that I could be stern and disciplined, I wrote out the paperwork that would result in firing Specialist Johnson and brought it to my superior officer, then Lieutenant Colonel Howie Cohen. Colonel Cohen calmly asked me to fill him in on the details of Specialist Johnson\u2019s problem. I rattled off his failures mechanically, listing the many incidents of intoxication I had witnessed before revealing the final, most damning evidence that Specialist Johnson had already blown his chance at rehab.\nI was certain that Colonel Cohen would see how much was wrong with Specialist Johnson and approve the firing. Instead, he said something that I will remember for the rest of my life. \u201cBefore you do anything else, I want to know one thing\u201d he said. \u201cWhat the hell is wrong with the Army\u2019s rehab program that it didn\u2019t fix my soldier?\u201d\nWhat the hell is wrong with the Army\u2019s rehab program that it didn\u2019t fix my soldier?\nAll efforts to fire Specialist Johnson were put on hold while I made it my job to answer that question. I made an appointment at the treatment center and interviewed employees there. I spoke with Specialist Johnson again. I learned that the truth was messy and complex.\nWe can argue all day about who is responsible when someone\u2019s substance abuse or mental health spirals out of control \u2013 is it the individual or the system? \u2013 but the truth is, there are no easy answers. In the Army, you learn quickly that we are all connected, and that blame doesn\u2019t solve many problems. Specialist Johnson was a grown man who made his own decisions, and at the same time, he needed better help than he was getting to accomplish something he simply couldn\u2019t do on his own.\nEventually Specialist Johnson made enough mistakes that no amount of second, third, or fourth chances could justify his remaining in the military, but I am convinced that our responsibility to and for him shouldn\u2019t have ended there. He wanted to serve his country, but he couldn\u2019t because of the powerful sway that addiction held over his life. Fifteen years and thousands of homeless veterans later, I now recognize Specialist Johnson as precisely the kind of person who often becomes vulnerable to homelessness after discharge. In fact, as I lead the 100,000 Homes Campaign, a national movement of communities working together to find and house 100,000 homeless Americans by July 2014, I sometimes wonder if he might be one of the people that participating communities are working to get into housing. That possibility is a sobering reminder to me of just how urgent a problem like homelessness should feel to all of us.\nThe truth is that ending homelessness, even for the most unfortunate of souls, is not an unsolvable mystery, as we have so often assumed. We know what to do, and we know what works, even for the Specialist Johnsons of the world. In the last three years, the communities participating in the 100,000 Homes Campaign have already found permanent housing for more than 74,000 disabled, addicted and/or mentally ill Americans, including over 21,000 veterans. Fifty of those communities are on track to end such homelessness outright in the next three to four years. There are no silver bullets to ending homelessness for our veterans, but we have a range of effective tools, and we\u2019ve never been closer than we are today.\nIf your community isn\u2019t on track to end veteran homelessness soon, find out why! Many communities in America are very close, and it\u2019s not because they have more money or housing resources than everyone else. Don\u2019t settle for the tired debate about individuals vs. systems. This solution lies in communities working together in new ways, and that means you can be part of the solution.\nPlease visit 100khomes.org to find out more.",

This will include a review of recruitment and selection procedures, the delivery of leaning programmes, and Company Policies and practices.\nDocument security classification: Staff\nGRADVERT LTD is committed to operating a proactive and reactive approach towards safeguarding the welfare of children, young people and adults who, through the delivery of our services, we have some form of contact with.

This policy provides a framework for exercising our duty of care appropriately and effectively, should any concerns be identified that may impair, or be likely to impair, someone\u2019s development or health, quality of life, or if someone is at risk of significant harm (including all forms of abuse).\nThis policy, and any associated documents, applies to all employees and volunteers of GRADVERT LTD, regardless of role or position.\nIt is recognised all supply chain partners providing a service for GRADVERT LTD have a requirement to have their own safeguarding policies reflecting legislative requirements and best practice. All supply chain partners must ensure their employees and sub-contractors follow their policies.\nThis policy will be reviewed biannually or following relevant developments within legislation, guidance and lessons from Serious Case Reviews (SCRs).\nThe Safeguarding Champion retains responsibility for the overall implementation and management of this policy, alongside providing relevant reporting to the Managing director.\nThe Safeguarding Champion is also the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) with regards to our duties under the Prevent Strategy (2011) and is the Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO).\nThey are also the lead for: Mental Capacity and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards; Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).\nThe Managing Director has accountability for ensuring GRADVERT LTD fulfils its safeguarding responsibilities.

All relevant associated policies, procedures and information will be available in the Safeguarding section on Gradvert\u2019s company website.\nThe Safeguarding Champion is available for support and guidance regarding the application of this policy. In the absence of the Safeguarding Champion, the Deputy Safeguarding Champion will be available.\nDefinitions and Language\nFor the purposes of this policy, the following terms are defined as such:\nChild: \u201cevery human being below the age of 18 years\u201d\n(Article 1, United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child)\nAcknowledgement that Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 states adult \u201cmeans a person aged 16 or over\u201d (Section 53(1))\nYoung people: The United Nations uses \u2018young people\u2019 to refer to those aged between 15 and 24 years.\nAdult: an adult is aged 18 and older. Depending on their circumstance, they may also be an \u2018adult at risk\u2019, for which this policy will use the following definition: \u201can adult who is an older person; or is affected by disability, illness, or physical or mental infirmity; or has an impairment of, or disturbance in, the functioning of the mind or brain; and as a result, may be unable to safeguard their own well-being, property, rights or other interests. In addition, an adult is at risk if: \u201canother person\u2019s conduct is causing (or is likely to cause) the adult to be harmed, or the adult is engaging (or is likely to engage) in conduct which causes (or is likely to cause) self-harm\u201d (Adult Support and Protection (Scotland) Act 2007 s.3(2))\nSafeguarding: \u201cthe action we take to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm\u201d (Working Together to Safeguard Children 2013, p.7). For the purposes of this policy, \u2018safeguarding\u2019 means the action we take to promote the welfare of children, young people and adults and protect them from harm\nWelfare: \u201cphysical and mental health and happiness\u201d (Cambridge Online Dictionary, 2016)\nConcern: anything that may cause worry about another person or contributes to a person feeling uncomfortable or unsure about the safety or welfare of someone else or themselves (including indications of potential radicalisation and expressions of extremist views)\nHarm: \u201cill-treatment or the impairment of health or development\u201d (Children Act 1989 s.31(9 & 10)). For the purposes of this policy, this definition is applied to children, young people and adults. This policy also recognises that harm applicable to children and young people includes \u201cimpairment suffered from seeing or hearing the ill-treatment of another\u201d (Children Act 1989 as amended by Children and Adoption Act 2002)\nThe definition of harm also includes abuse in all its forms and bullying. For the purposes of this policy, the following types of abuse and bullying, as provided by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) for adults (2016), and as provided by the National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) for children and young people (2016) are recognised:\nNeglect or acts of omission\nPsychological / Emotional abuse\nOrganisational or institutional abuse\nSelf - neglect\nFor full definitions of these, refer to Safeguarding Guidance document.\nThe above table does not provide an exhaustive list of concerns that are relevant to this policy. Other concerns to be noted can include: homelessness; depression; suicidal thoughts and intent; self-harm or injury; eating disorders; use of substances; cyber-bullying and radicalisation. It is recognised that abuse and bullying can occur online for adults as well as for children and young people.\nGRADVERT LTD is not afforded powers of being able to keep private any information relating to a safeguarding concern. Therefore, a key component to any professional relationship between GRADVERT LTD employees and members of the public accessing our services is the sharing of our confidentiality status: i.e. If a concern is identified or raised, that indicates a child, young person or adult is being harmed, or is at risk of being harmed, or requires additional support, that concern will be shared with a manager.\nThis may also result in a referral to an external agency, such as health services, the police or social services. No concerns relating to a potential safeguarding issue can be kept private.\nThis policy recognises information sharing is a significant element to effective safeguarding practice: \u201cEarly sharing of information is the key to providing an effective response where there are emerging concerns\u201d (Care and Support Statutory Guidance 2014, p. 239, s.14.34). When information relating to a concern is shared, it must be: within the values and principles of care and trust; safety and dignity; on a \u2018need to know\u2019 basis and within information sharing guidelines. (For more details, see Safeguarding guidance document).\nAll concerns relating to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults must be recorded and appropriate actions taken in a timely manner. In the first instance, information relating to the concern will be shared with the safeguarding champion (in required situations, it will be emergency services). Details on time scales can be found in the Safeguarding guidance documents. All concerns must be reported via the Concern Report Form, available online via the company one drive. All reports are sent to the besafe@gradvert.com, who in turn go to the Safeguarding Champion and Deputy\nAll information relating to concerns will be stored and monitored in line with GRADVERT LTD Data Protection and Document Retention policies. The information must be viewed only by relevant persons and on a \u2018need to know\u2019 basis.\nEmployees will be recruited and selected according to GRADVERT LTD Recruitment and Selection Policy, reflecting best practice recommendations from guidance such as\nThe Warner Report (1992), the Bichard Enquiry (2004), and lessons identified in Serious Case Reviews (SCR).\nAll relevant positions within GRADVERT LTD will be subject to satisfactory checks, including references, employment checks and with the Disclosure and Barring System (DBS) Check (England and Wales), Disclosure Scotland and Access NI (Northern Ireland), where required.\nAll GRADVERT LTD employees and volunteers will receive training on safeguarding awareness, through a combination of online and face-to-face training, with ongoing support being provided by the line manager and the Safeguarding Champion\nUpdated alerts will be included in regular communications to staff and supply chain partners\nSafeguarding awareness will feature in Personal Development Reviews (PDRs)\nAll offices will have safeguarding posters clearly on display for staff and members of the public\nPeople accessing our services will be made aware of our safeguarding policy verbally and through written format\nSafeguarding Champion/ Designated Safeguarding Officer / Single Point of Contact:\nandrea.satterthwaite@gradvert.com\nDeputy Contact: niamh.finlay@gradvert.com, 0191 607 0225\nOwner: Michaela Reaney\nCompany: Gradvert\nEffective Date: 29.05.18\nThis procedure accompanies the Gradvert Safeguarding Policy and refers to our duties under the UK Government\u2019s Prevent Duty for England and Wales.\nRadicalisation or expressions of extremist views can be a safeguarding concern (\u201canything that may cause worry about another person or contributes to a person feeling uncomfortable or unsure about the safety or welfare of someone else or themselves (including indications of potential radicalisation and expressions of extremist views)\u201d {Gradvert\u2019s safeguarding policy).\nTherefore, awareness of Prevent and this accompanying document is expected by all members of relevant staff and volunteers.\nThe DSO (James Neilands), 0191 607 0225 will monitor the implementation of this procedure (including overseeing the Prevent Risk Assessment and Action Plan) and is the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) and Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO) for safeguarding concerns connected to radicalisation and extremism. Overall accountability for safeguarding and our Prevent Duties remains with the Managing Director.\nThe following documents will be referenced to throughout this document:\nhttps://www.gov.uk/government/uplaods/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/425189/Channel_Duty_Guidance_April_2015.\nPrevent forms part of the UK\u2019s overall counter-terrorism strategy \u2018Contest\u2019. Its aim is to \u201creduce the threat to the UK from terrorism by stopping people becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism\u201d (violent and non-violent). The three objectives for Prevent are:\nRespond to the ideological challenge of terrorism and the threat faced from those who promote it.\nPrevent people from being drawn into terrorism and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support.\nWork with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation that need to be addressed.\nIt also includes extremism: \u201cvocal or active opposition to fundamental British Values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. We also include in our definition extremism calls for the death of members of our armed forces, whether in this country or abroad\u201d (Prevent Strategy, 2011). Therefore, extremism can also include expressions of racism, homophobia, anti-Semitic views and Islamophobia.\nIt is acknowledged that there is no \u2018one single\u2019 process of radicalisation or profile of an individual likely to become involved in terrorist-related activity. The process of radicalisation is a grooming one: ways of communication and indicators of grooming are the same for other forms of abuse. Methods can be: face-to-face; through befriending; online; information leaflets to initiate interest; manipulation; giving a sense of belonging and creating \u2018secrets\u2019.\nIndicators can be: a significant change in someone\u2019s physical appearance or clothing; change in behaviour; self-isolation; expressions of extremist views; self-harm. (For further indicators, see Appendix I below. All indicators can also be observed with other forms of abuse or if an individual needs additional support for a personal welfare issue. They are not exclusive to radicalisation).\nIn addition, there are recognised \u2018push\u2019 and \u2018pull\u2019 factors that may contribute to an individual becoming radicalised or involved in extremist groups. The presence of one or more of these does not automatically mean an individual is being radicalised. However, they can contribute to an individual becoming vulnerable to potential radicalisation and extremism. Examples of known factors include:\nIsolation and identity crisis\nPersonal crisis and circumstances\nA sense of grievance, thinking the \u2018world owes them a favour\u2019\nDiscriminatory thought processes against groups in society and abroad\nDistrust of UK Foreign Policy\nLack of knowledge about the group or movement\nNeed for protection and seeking excitement\nLooking for a sense of belonging\nSeeking status and identity\nTherefore, all employees and volunteers must be alert to any of these occurring with clients and as well as within staff cohorts. This is relevant across all divisions of Gradvert and with all forms of contact with individuals including face-to-face, telephone or written media. Expressions of extremist views must be dealt with appropriately: they must be challenged (not confronted).\nIf an employee or volunteer believes themselves to be at risk of harm or their safety is compromised, they must prioritise their own physical wellbeing and make contact with their Line Manager (or Duty Manager) immediately.\nIf a concern is identified regarding the welfare of any individual, and with indications of potential radicalisation or expressions of extremist views, then the following reporting process must be followed:\nIf the individual, employee or volunteer, or local community are thought to be in immediate danger (e.g. a bomb threat has been made) then contact the emergency police on 999 and follow Gradvert\u2019s Business Continuity Plan process.\nIf there is no perceived immediate threat of danger, the employee or volunteer contacts their Line Manager (or other duty manager) as soon as is reasonably possible to discuss their concerns and any potential level of risk under the Prevent Duty. If unsure, the Line Manager must discuss these concerns with the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) / Designated Safeguarding Officer (DSO) James Neilands, 0191 6070225 . This discussion will assess if a referral to the local Prevent Coordinator and Channel Panel may be required. The outcome of this assessment will influence which action follows. If no, go to point 3. If yes, go to point 6:\nIf the referral threshold to a Channel Panel is not met, the Line Manager must consider an alternative, appropriate intervention for the individual (i.e. diversity workshop) and confirm this with the SPOC / DSO\nEmployee and Line Manager complete a Concern Report Form within one working day and send to besafe@gradert.com address and record information on the individual\u2019s file.\nIf Gradvert have ongoing contact with the individual, they must continue to be monitored for further indications of concern.\nIf the referral threshold to a Channel Panel is met (see Vulnerability Assessment for Referral to Channel document), the SPOC / DSO will contact the Regional Prevent Coordinator (UK Government). A meeting will be arranged with the individual to discuss a referral to Channel as this is a voluntarily process. Attendees of the meeting will likely be the individual, the employee and Line Manager with possible attendance from the Prevent Coordinator and / or SPOC / DSO\nEmployee and Line Manager complete a Concern Report Form within one working day and send to safeguarding@gradvert.co.uk\nIf consent is gained from the individual, the employee and Line Manager complete the Vulnerability Assessment for Referral to Channel document. This document must be password protected and sent to the SPOC / DSO besafe@gradvert.co.uk. The SPOC / DSO will review the document and make arrangements with the local Channel Panel for submission.\nGradvert recognise the importance of appropriate and proportionate Information-Sharing. The Channel Duty Guidance acknowledges information may be shared with partners (see above for referral to a Channel Panel), typically with consent of the individual. However, it is also \u201cdependent on the circumstances of the case but may relate to issues such as the health of the individual, law enforcement or protection of the public\u201d (Channel Duty Guidance, p. 11, pt. 46). The SPOC / DSO will liaise with our Compliance Team and the local Prevent Coordinator for guidance, if necessary, on this issue and on a case-by-case basis.\nIndividuals who are suspected of being involved in any form of illegal terrorist-related activity must be referred to the police after a discussion with SPOC / DSO, who will involve the Head of Compliance and Audit Staff Training:\nAll relevant staff working in the Gradvert EPA division must complete the online Prevent training module for Practitioners provided by the Education and Training Foundation:\nhttps://www.foundationonline.org.uk/course/index.php?categoryid=14\nFor staff in all divisions, it is highly recommended they access and complete the relevant training module for their role. \u201cSafeguarding is everyone\u2019s business\u201d (Care Act 2014) and awareness of Prevent-related concerns forms an important element of effective and best safeguarding practice.\nStaff can also attend a Workshop to Raise Awareness of Prevent (WRAP), delivered by a Home Office authorised facilitator Further Duties Under Prevent and Best Practice.\nThe promotion of British Values in teaching curriculum and interventions with clients and learners.\nPromotion of the nine protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010 (age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion and belief; sex; sexual orientation).\nPosters promoting the above can be displayed in training environments and offices and shared with clients and learners. These can be found on the Gradvert website.\nThe following associated documents must be read in conjunction with this procedure:\nGradvert Safeguarding Policy\nIT Acceptable Use for Clients and Learners Policy\nExternal Speakers Risk Assessment Checklist\nGradvert Business Continuity Plan\nFurther Possible Indicators (Channel Duty Guidance)\nSpending increasing time in the company of other suspected extremists\nChanging their style of dress or personal appearance to accord with the group\nTheir day-to-day behaviour becoming increasingly centred around an extremist ideology, group or cause\nLoss of interest in other friends and activities not associated with the extremist ideology, group or cause\nPossession of material or symbols associated with an extremist cause (e.g. the swastika for far-right groups)\nAttempts to recruit others to the group/cause/ideology\nCommunications with others that suggest identification with a group/cause/ideology\nClearly identifying another group as threatening what they stand for and blaming that group for all social or political ills\nUsing insulting or derogatory names or labels for another group\nSpeaking about the imminence of harm from the other group and the importance of action now\nExpressing attitudes that justify offending on behalf of the group, cause or ideology\nCondoning or supporting violence or harm towards others\nPlotting or conspiring with others.\nHaving a history of violence\nBeing criminally versatile and using criminal networks to support extremist goals\nHaving occupational skills that can enable acts of terrorism (such as civil engineering, pharmacology or construction)\nHaving technical expertise that can be deployed (e.g. IT skills, knowledge of chemicals, military training or survival skills)",

If it\u2019s to transition out of a full-time job, where you need the cash flow to support your family, then the best franchise for you is one that allows you to start part-time or allows for passive ownership. If you are in transition (out of work) and need cash flow immediately, then the best model for you is one that has low overhead, probably service-based, that will get you jobs quickly.

May 2014 showed the highest number of sales at 3911 with a median price at $425,000. It was crazy!!!\nMany factors came into play. The price of oil crashed! A new NDP government came into power! The federal government brought in stress testing for all people trying to buy a home with less than 20% down. Then the ystarted increasing interest rates. That wasn't enough stress on our market, they then brought in stress testing for everyone and again increased the interest rates.\nPopulation increase from births to immigration is expected in 2018 by 1.4%, above the country's 1% overall forecast.

        "title": "September | 2015 | The Great Wen",
        "raw_content": "The legacy of the Blitz\nI wrote a piece for the Guardian about the way modern London is still shaped by the bomb damage of the Blitz. This was a subject I immersed myself for several weeks and the first draft of my article is very different to the version that was published. I thought it might be interesting to reproduce the original article on The Great Wen.\nWhen travel writer HV Morton surveyed London in 1951\u2019s In Search of London, it was still scarred by war. The Blitz had started on 7 September 1940 and more than a decade later, London was a \u201ccity of jagged ruins, of hob grates perched in the sunlight in shattered walls, of cellars draped with willow-herb and Canadian fleabane.\u201d As Morton wandered sadly round Cripplegate \u2013 an area now covered by the Barbican \u2013 he looked \u201cacross an area of devastation so final and complete that the memory of it will always rise in my mind whenever I hear the word Blitz. Thousands of buildings have been burnt and blasted to the cellars. Here and there the side of a building rises gauntly from the rubble, a detached gateway stands by itself in the undergrowth, the towers of a few churches, or a spire, lift themselves mournfully, like tombstones in a forgotten cemetery\u2026. How can anyone reconstruct a town from its cellars?\u201d\nThe scale of this destruction can be gleaned from the bombsight.org website, which uses information from the National Archives to pinpoint every individual bomb strike, and The Bomb Damage Maps 1939-1945, created by the London County Council and now published as a book, which show colour-coded bomb damage on a building-by-building basis. The maps were originally created for financial reasons, but post-war planning was always an issue. \u201cThe heart of it was insurance and compensation,\u201d says Laurence Ward, the book\u2019s editor and senior archivist at the London Metropolitan Archive. \u201cBut they had one eye on post-war reconstruction and the maps were essential tools for rebuilding London. They give a bird\u2019s eye view of the damage and use a colour scheme that makes it easy to see areas that needed to be cleared.\u201d\nBy cross-referencing Bomb Damage Maps with the A-Z and www.bombsight.org, London\u2019s post-war evolution can be explored, with modern parks, offices and housing estates replacing black blocks of destruction. As Ward explains, \u201cThe maps help areas make sense, they show why the streets look like they do.\u201d We look at six examples that show some of the ways the Blitz shaped contemporary London, and how that process is still continuing today.\nMayday Gardens, SE3\nAlan Lee Williams was 10 when his home in Mayday Gardens, near Blackheath, was hit by a parachute mine. \u201cIt was meant for the Thames, but damaged 27 houses and took our roof off,\u201d he recalls, now 84 and reflecting on a life that included a period as Labour MP for Hornchurch. Williams\u2019 house was repaired but several houses \u2013 marked black for \u201ctotal destruction\u201d on the bomb maps \u2013 remained derelict throughout the war. \u201cThey became places for children to play,\u201d says Williams. \u201cThey built a big water tank on them for the fire engines, and sometimes we\u2019d swim in it.\u201d\nVisit Mayday Gardens now and you\u2019d have no idea anything had happened here. Unlike other streets, where former bomb sites can be identified by the post-war housing blocks that interrupt Victorian terraces, the destroyed houses in Mayday Gardens were rebuilt exactly as before. \u201cThey look as if they have been there all the time and I\u2019m sure most people living there have no idea what happened,\u201d says Williams. Indeed, when a local resident \u2013 who declined to be named \u2013 was asked if they knew of the street\u2019s history, they admitted it came as news to them. \u201cThere was no consistency with the reconstruction,\u201d says Ward. \u201cThese have pretty good plots and they probably decided it would be easier to rebuild a couple of houses then build a low-rise block.\u201d One issue would have been the material available, with bricks remaining in short supply until the 1950s despite the LCC\u2019s ability to salvage 140 million from damaged houses. The reconstruction of these middle-class homes, though, comes as stark contrast to the way many working-class districts were treated.\nCo-Op, Brook House, Shooters Hill, SE18\nA short walk from Mayday Gardens on the corner of Shooters Hill and Corelli Road is an ugly squat building housing a supermarket. This was the site of the Brook Hotel pub, which was hit by a V2 rocket in November 1944.\nAlan Williams, then 14, was one of the first on the scene. \u201cI was on a tram on Shooters Hill, when I heard an explosion and ran down the road just in time to see a No 89 bus explode,\u201d he says. \u201cThe pub had been hit by the missile and the bus was passing and caught fire.\u201d\nWilliams was pressed into service. \u201cThe fire officer called for silence so we could listen for people calling for help and we heard somebody,\u201d he says. \u201cThe firemen were too big to go down, so they lowered me. I found a body still breathing and helped them pull it back up. We got to the top and the gas blew up beneath us \u2013 I never got out of a bombsite so quickly.\u201d\nHe\u2019d rescued a girl who had been playing with the publican\u2019s daughter. \u201cShe lived in the same road as me, and her father was a high-ranking policeman,\u201d says Williams. \u201cHe came to see us \u2013 my mother thought I\u2019d been in trouble again!\u201d In the carnage, 29 died but the pub was rebuilt immediately. \u201cThe pub was a lovely old building,\u201d says Williams. \u201cIt was close to where soldiers were billeted so they rebuilt it before the end of the war.\u201d Williams passes such bombsites frequently. \u201cI still live in the area and I bow my head as I go past,\u201d he says. \u201cI can still see that 89 bus exploding. I always thought it was strange that there was never an explanation of what happened to these places. I thought they should have put up plaques. It\u2019s always a puzzle why it didn\u2019t happen, maybe they just wanted to forget.\u201d\nChrist Church, Newgate\nThere are some memorials, if you know what to look for. Churches played an important role before and after the Blitz. Bombed churches were used as propaganda \u2013 a famous wartime photograph shows St Paul\u2019s sheathed in smoke \u2013 and London\u2019s churches took a pounding: 624 of 701 churches were damaged, of which 91 were destroyed. Many City churches were damaged by the fire bombs of 29 December 1940, which levelled entire streets.\nAlmost immediately, a debate began about what to be done with the most badly damaged churches. Architect Sir Edwin Lutyen argued in 1941 that \u201cwhere there is no congregation I would leave the spaces occupied by destroyed churches as open\u201d, partly as a memorial. In 1944, a letter in The Times presciently articulated this principle: \u201cThe time will come \u2013 much sooner than most of us to-day can visualize \u2013 when no trace of death from the air will be left in the streets of rebuilt London. At such a time the story of the Blitz may begin to seem unreal not only to visiting tourists but to a new generation of Londoners. It is the purpose of war memorials to remind posterity of the reality of the sacrifices upon which its apparent security has been built. These church ruins, we suggest, would do this with realism and gravity\u201d.\nThe creation of these memorial-ruins was rooted in realism \u2013 with attendances in decline, churches simply weren\u2019t always needed. The medieval church of Christ Church, Newgate had been rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in 1687 after the Great Fire and then razed again in the inferno of December 1940. It has been left in its ruined state in memory of the Blitz, but in bastardised form.\nIn 1981, neo-Georgian offices were added in imitation of the 1760 vestry \u2013 these currently house a dentist. Two walls to the east were removed in 1974 in a road-widening scheme, while the tower \u2013 with a steeple that Ian Nairn considered one of Wren\u2019s finest \u2013 was transformed into a 12-storey private home in 2006. Merrill Lynch\u2019s office squeezes against the wall of the church and the fact these gardens act as a memorial to the Blitz probably goes unnoticed by local workers \u2013 it\u2019s all far too tidy for one thing. A short-lived campaign was launched in 2013 to turn this into a more thoughtful memorial to the sacrifice of Londoners, of which there are few. Christ Church at least fared better than another memorial-ruin: St Mary Aldermanbury was sold to Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri to act as a memorial to Winston Churchill. London still awaits a fitting tribute.\nOld Market Square, Columbia Road, E2\nA complex network of priorities faced London\u2019s post-war rebuilders, many of whom had been agitating to reconstruct London since before the war. This bore curious fruit in Columbia Road in Bethnal Green, now the location of a flower market and genteel Victorian terraces but then considered a slum. On the first day of the Blitz, a bomb hit a shelter beneath Columbia Market, killing 38. \u201cColumbia Market was a 19th century development founded by Angela Burdett-Coutts to regenerate the area and improve quality of life,\u201d explains Ward.\u201d The buildings were damaged during the war and subsequently demolished \u2013 but, it seems, they could have been repaired \u2013 the map notes that the main blocks suffered only general blast damage.\u201d\nBurdett-Coutts was a philanthropist and friend of Charles Dickens, and Columbia Market was a combination of market and social housing constructed in a dramatic neo-Gothic style that marked one of the first flowerings of Victorian social housing. The ambitious scheme was deemed a \u201csplendid failure\u201d by The Times in 1936 and after the war was being used for storage. Although salvageable and unquestionably important, it was demolished in 1960 and replaced by Ravenscourt Park and a modern tower block, named Old Market Square in a half-hearted nod to what was lost. This new estate is typical of the buildings that were thrown up after the war to solve the problem of slum housing. A campaign is ongoing to get a plaque erected in memory of those that died.\nIn the haste to rebuild London, many important buildings were demolished, inadvertently spawning the modern heritage industry. \u201cThe idea of heritage and listing buildings only really started after the war, when things were demolished so rapidly we don\u2019t know exactly what was demolished and what was valuable,\u201d says Peter Larkham, professor of planning at Birmingham School of the Built Environment, who has written on post-war reconstruction. \u201cIt was launched as a problematic and ad hoc system that allowed councils to designate conservation areas. After development stopped with the 1970s oil crisis, conservation almost took over and we now have 10,000 conservation areas and half a million listed buildings. Some think we conserve too much.\u201d The only remaining trace of Columbia Market is a section of railing outside a nursery. \u201cIt\u2019s a fascinating building that most have cost a fortune and completely dominated the road,\u201d says Ward. \u201cNow you\u2019d never know it existed.\u201d\nPalestra, Blackfriars Bridge Road, SE1\nThis 1990s office block sits atop a site with a fascinating jumbled history. In 1783, the Surrey Chapel was built amid fields by Georgian preacher Rowland Hill, who chose a circular \u2013 or octagonal \u2013 form as this meant there were no corners where the devil could hide. By 1910, it was being used as a warehouse when boxer Dick Burge decided to turn it into a boxing venue. The Ring was a success but was hit by a bomb on 25th October 1940 and then again in March 1941. According to the Bomb Damage Maps the spot was also later hit by a V1 flying bomb. Damage from one of these strikes can still be seen a few yards away under a railway bridge.\nLike many bombsites, The Ring wasn\u2019t replaced until the 1960s. \u201cSome materials required for building were rationed until 1954,\u201d says Larkham. \u201cEvery bomb-damaged city was arguing with the government for their allocation of steel and you might have a site and a plan but you might not be able to do anything with it. Britain was selling steel to Australia because the economy was more important than rebuilding.\u201d Eventually Richard Seifert\u2019s gaunt Orbit House was raised on the site. Seifert, one of the UK\u2019s most prolific post-war architects, loved to give his buildings space-age names, and this one also had a circular nod to The Ring. It housed records for the India Office.\nBut Orbit House\u2019s time was fleeting. In the 1990s it was replaced by Will Alsop\u2019s gargantuan glass Palestra, which is used by TfL. Peter Rees, the City\u2019s former head of planning, once told me that modern office buildings have a life of around 30 years \u2013 something that has more to do with the changing requirements of office life than architectural trends \u2013 and that\u2019s how long Orbit House lasted. But with his new building, Alsop paid reference to both of Palestra\u2019s forefathers: like Orbit House, it is raised above the road on a pedestal, while its name comes from the Greek word for a wrestling ring. What\u2019s interesting, though, is that as with much of London\u2019s post-war offices \u2013 include huge swathes of the City \u2013 this site is already on its second generation of development. Larkham questions if that is sustainable. \u201cOne of the worst products in terms of sustainability is concrete,\u201d he says. \u201cThe fact we can put these building up and then pull them back \u2013 is that really the best solution? We need to design for more flexible longer-term planning.\u201d\nElephant Park, SE17\nYou won\u2019t find Sayer Street on a map but you can hunt it down in photographs. One on the IWM website shows a family sitting at a dinner table outside the Blitzed shell of Sayer Street School eating egg and bacon supplied by American aid.\nAnother shows Sayer Street before the Blitz, when it consisted of five-storey tenements in one of London\u2019s poorest areas around Elephant & Castle. Elephant was badly hit by bombs, and Sayer Street is riddled with damage on the Bomb Damage Maps. Before the war, the street contained a fishmongers, cat meat dealer, grocer, saddler, bookbinder; after the war, it was the location of a car park, one of the most popular post-war uses for bombsites. The NPC car park empire began with the purchase of a \u00a3200 bomb site on Red Lion Square.\nIn his memoir The Likes Of Us, Michael Collins writes how in the 1960s he explored Elephant\u2019s remaining bombsites, \u201con which relics of former homes hovered, exposed broken fireplaces and floral or barley corn wallpaper that had witness births, deaths, Christmases, parties, tears, arguments, laughter and sex.\u201d Sayer Street survived this half-life into the 1960s, when it was chewed up by the Heygate Estate. The Heygate was originally conceived as one of three gigantic housing estates that would stretch from Elephant to Peckham, linked by walkways and ramps for two miles. \u201cIt was said the planners decided which streets would be erased in the back of a taxi as they were driven around the neighbourhood,\u201d writes Collins, who was forced from his childhood home. One of those to disappear was Sayer Street.\nAs Larkham explains, \u201csome of the plans were incredibly radical, sweeping away neighbourhoods irrespective of damage and replacing them with high-rise towers nobody wanted to live in.\u201d These were fuelled by idealism, but as early as 1945, the planner CB Purdom had warned of the dangers in How Shall We Rebuild London?, explicitly rejecting Le Corbusier and \u201cthe megalomaniac proposals of those who regard the metropolis as a hive of near termites speeding their existence upon escalators or in tubes.\u201d Such pleas were ignored and towers went up on bomb sites all over London. Some were successful like the Barbican, but most were bleak, poorly built and badly maintained.\nThe Heygate was rarely popular but it housed many of London\u2019s poorest and now it too is gone, having lasted 37 meagre years. Southwark sold it to Land Lease, a private developer and demolition began in 2011. Former residents have been shipped miles from London, displaced even more brutally than those who once lived on Sayer Street. In its place will come Elephant Park, a residential village of towers and plazas, where a three-bed apartment costs \u00a32.5m. \u201cIt says a lot about where London is heading, how it is become more like Paris with those areas of social housing being pushed further out,\u201d says Ward. The ripples from London\u2019s post-war redevelopment continue to be felt, and from Blitzed streets and lost bombsites, another London arises. How long will this one last?\nPosted in Architecture, Books, History, Journalism, London, Maps, My London Library, Place, Politics, Property, War\nTagged Blitz, Bomb Damage Maps, bombs, Charles Dickens, christ church, Columbia Market, Elephant and Castle, Guardian, Heygate, HV Morton, IWM, London, Mayday Gardens, Michael Collins, Orbit House, Palestra, post-war development, Richard Seifert, sayer street, Shooters Hill, social housing, The Ring, V2",

        "raw_content": "Chestnut Oak Forest\nAndrew D. Finton\nChestnut oak is one of the important trees, along with sugar maple and red oak, that replaced American chestnut after the devastating spread of chestnut blight. The American chestnut was a common component in chestnut oak forests prior to the chestnut blight in the early 1900s. The blight was caused by an introduced Asian fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica) and by 1950, the once common chestnut was reduced to decomposing logs and small stump sprouts.\nThere are several hundred occurrences statewide. Some documented occurrences have good viability and many are protected on public land or private conservation land. This community has a somewhat limited distribution in the state and includes several very large, high quality examples. The current trend of this community is probably stable for occurrences on public land, or declining slightly elsewhere due to moderate threats related to development pressure.\nThe number and acreage of chestnut oak forests in New York has probably declined slightly in recent decades as a result of fire suppression, logging, fragmentation, and other development. Larger occurrences may continue to undergo fragmentation. Fire suppression may promote mesification of some occurrences with the result of succession to another community. However, historical reforestation of much of southeastern New York may have resulted in an increase in this community in recent history. Thus, although decline is expected in the long term, this community may be relatively stable in the short term.\nThe number and acreage of chestnut oak forests in New York have probably declined substantially from historical numbers likely correlated to fire suppression, fragmentation, and other development. Continuing unnatural simplification or conversion of the forest's composition, structure, and age class distribution may also threaten the community's integrity in the long term.\nThreats to forests in general include changes in land use (e.g., clearing for development), forest fragmentation (e.g., roads), and invasive species (e.g., insects, diseases, and plants). Other threats may include over-browsing by deer, fire suppression, and air pollution (e.g., ozone and acidic deposition). When occurring in expansive forests, the largest threat to the integrity of chestnut oak forests are activities that fragment the forest into smaller pieces. These activities, such as road building and other development, restrict the movement of species and seeds throughout the entire forest, an effect that often results in loss of those species that require larger blocks of habitat (e.g., black bear, bobcat, birds). Additionally, fragmented forests provide decreased benefits to neighboring societies from services these societies often substantially depend on (e.g., clean water, mitigation of floods and droughts, pollination in agricultural fields, and pest control) (Daily et al. 1997).Over time, the dry, rocky slopes most appropriate for this community can become invaded by plants that slowly enrich the site if fire or other disturbances are suppressed. Such enrichment, or \"mesification\" is also a threat to this community. Chestnut oak forests are threatened by development (e.g., residential, agricultural, communication antennas), either directly within the community or in the surrounding landscape. Other threats include habitat alteration (e.g., roads, mining, deer over-browsing, trash dumping), and recreational overuse (e.g., ATVs, hiking trails, campgrounds, horseback riding, mountain biking). Loss of the natural range of variability and pattern of canopy closure from unnatural canopy removal and the accompanying ground disturbance may be a threat to the integrity of the community. A few chestnut oak forests are threatened by invasive species, such as multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora). Suppression of the natural fire regime may also be a threat to this community.Chestnut oak forests may be threatened by the non-native gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar), which is one of the most devastating forest pests in North America . The gypsy moth is known to feed on the foliage of hundreds of species of plants in North America but its most common hosts are oaks and aspen. Gypsy moth populations are typically eruptive in North America; in any forest stand densities may fluctuate from near 1 egg mass per ha to over 1,000 per ha. When densities reach very high levels, trees may become completely defoliated. Several successive years of defoliation, along with contributions by other biotic and abiotic stress factors, may ultimately result in tree mortality (McManus et al. 1980, Liebold 2003).\nManagement should focus on activities that help maintain regeneration of the species associated with this community. Deer have been shown to have negative effects on forest understories (Miller et al. 1992, Augustine and French 1998, Knight 2003) and management efforts should strive to ensure that regenerating trees and shrubs are not so heavily browsed that they cannot replace overstory trees. Additionally, dry rocky communities such as this one are showing a trend in being slowly replaced by more shade-tolerant, richer-soil species such as sugar maple and more often non-native species such as Norway maple and tree of heaven. This trend towards \"mesification\" is likely a result of the elimination of fire as a natural process in this forest system. Periodic forest fires used to expose bedrock, remove excess organic material, and open up gaps in the forest canopy. With fire suppression, dry, relatively open and rocky forest communities such as the chestnut oak forest are slowly being replaced. Management for these communities should consider this phenomenon.\nInventory any remaining large and/or old-growth examples across the state. Continue searching for large sites in excellent to good condition (A- to AB-ranked).\nRegularly assess the presence and degree of impact that gypsy moth has on this forest community. Determine the optimal fire regime for this community.\nAtrytonopsis hianna (Dusted Skipper) (guide)\nCalamagrostis porteri ssp. porteri (Porter's Reed Grass) (guide)\nCarex glaucodea (Glaucous Sedge) (guide)\nCelastrina neglectamajor (Appalachian Azure) (guide)\nCitheronia regalis (Regal Moth) (guide)\nEndodeca serpentaria (Virginia Snakeroot) (guide)\nHemileuca maia maia (Inland Barrens Buckmoth) (guide)\nOxalis violacea (Violet Wood Sorrel) (guide)\nThis community is currently known from the lower Hudson Valley where it is most common in the Hudson Highlands and Shawangunk Mountains. Chestnut oak forests are also known from the Catskill Mountains, the Rensselaer Plateau, and it reaches its northern limit in the Lake George Valley.\nThe range of this community is estimated to span northeast to southern Maine, west to Ohio and Kentucky, south to Alabama and Georgia and southeast to North Carolina and Maryland.\nClarence-Fahnstock State Park (Putnam County)\nBear Mountain State Park (Rockland, Orange Counties)\nHarriman State Park (Rockland, Orange Counties)\nA hardwood forest that occurs on well-drained and often rocky sites in glaciated portions of the Appalachians and on the coastal plain. The combined cover of chestnut, red, white, and black oak should generally exceed 25%. Typically, there is more chestnut oak than hickories. The understory may vary, with high abundance of mountain laurel, huckleberry, or Pennsylvania sedge. At least three edaphic variants with different understory dominants are known: 1) a tall shrub-dominated understory with 60-90% mountain laurel, 2) a short shrub-dominated understory with dense dwarf heaths, such as black huckleberry, and 3) a herb-dominated understory with Pennsylvania sedge.\nDominant trees are typically chestnut oak (Quercus montana) and red oak (Q. rubra). Common associates are white oak (Q. alba), black oak (Q. velutina), and red maple (Acer rubrum). American chestnut (Castanea dentata) was a common associate in these forests prior to the chestnut blight; chestnut sprouts are still found in some stands. The shrublayer is predominantly ericaceous; characteristic shrubs are black huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata), mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia), and blueberry (Vaccinium pallidum). Common groundlayer plants are Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pensylvanica), wild sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis), wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), and cushions of the moss Leucobryum glaucum.\nAt sites with abundant mountain laurel, a great time to see this community is when mountain laurel is flowering in early summer.\nChestnut Oak Forest Images\nChestnut oak forest at Stissing Mountain\nChestnut oak forest illustration.\nDarcy P.

        "raw_content": "Indian Railways approves strategically important ladakh railway line, would be the highest in the world.\nIndian Railways has started work on the world\u2019s highest railway line which will connect Ladakh with New Delhi. The Indian Railways have already finished the first phase of the location survey of the strategic and very important Bilaspur-Manali-Leh line which is near the India China border. It has been proposed by the Indian Railways that this project be given the status of a national project. This is also one of the most difficult projects undertaken by the railways till date when the terrain and the height on which the tracks have to be laid are taken into account. The total estimated cost for this railway project which in total will extend to 498 kilometres, will be around Rs 83,360 crores. The highest point in the project when it is completed will be of 5,360 metres above mean sea level. The closest competitor to it will be the Qinghai-Tibet Railway line in China which is at a height of approximately 2,000 metres. The project once finished will give Indian defense agencies a strategic edge over the Chinese in case of an altercation in the future.\nThe railway line project will cut the time taken for movement between Delhi and Leh by almost half. The whole track laid down will be in broad gauge, resulting in easier transportation between Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh to Leh in Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir. The project will serve as an extensionof the Kangra Valley Railway to Mandi. The movement between the national capital Delhi and Leh will come down to 20 hours from the 40 hours which it takes at present. According to findings from the first phase of the survey, the ambitious project is scheduled to have 74 tunnels, 124 major bridges and 396 minor bridges. The trains running on the Bilaspur-Manali-Leh line will run at a maximum speed of 75 kilometres per hour, a great speed considering the elevation which is predominant in the terrain. The project undertaken by Indian Railways will initiate a new era of connectivity in the region and will hopefully make it accessible for the better part of the year. This will be a major boost considering that presently large parts of the Leh Ladakh region remain cut off from the mainland in winters due to extreme conditions.",

        "raw_content": "Start-ups: Investors See Strength in Your Team's Diversity of Skills\nJanuary 17, 2019 Otis Robinson\nTo kick off the new year, we\u2019re sharing our top tips on how SMEs can successfully seek investment or bag growth opportunities, featuring advice from key investors scattered throughout our blog posts.\n\u201cStarting and scaling a successful business is immensely difficult,\u201d says Bridget Connell, Angel Investor, as she begins to share her thoughts with us. \u201cFew people have got what it takes. I look for people who have outstanding drive and ambition. But also, I\u2019m on the lookout for those who are self-aware and willing to seek out support.\u201d\nContrary to the on-screen caricatures in film and television, venture capitalists and angel investors are not aggressively scouring for big suits in big cities with big ideas. It\u2019s often the case that investors want to see a sturdy body of key team members who can share the weight of a start-up on their collective shoulders.\n\u201cWithout the Right People, It\u2019s Dangerous to Invest.\u201d\nBridget Connell, Angel Investor\nConnell isn\u2019t alone in her thoughts. At the Women Angels of the North Investment Forum, Jordan Dargue, Angel Investor, said: \u201cYou can have a great product, but without the right people, it can be dangerous to invest.\u201d Above all, most investors want start-up founders to understand the importance of a powerful, confident and skilled set of employees pulling the strings behind a business because that\u2019s what they\u2019re looking for\u2014they seek the promise of fruition. Investors want to put their money into a team that can expertly execute what is promised by an investment pitch. So, when it comes down to the wire and a start-up founder is preparing to dazzle potential investors, there are ways to improve a presentation using simple shared responsibility and a whole lot of complementary words about colleagues.\n\u201cWhat really works well is having someone experienced with skin in the game with you: a co-founder,\u201d Connell states. \u201cA combination of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) works really well, or CEO and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in tech start-ups.\u201d Connell\u2019s advice comes from experience\u2014in her career, she has mentored start-ups and noticed those in their early stages, and alone, eventually begin to sink beneath the sheer volume of responsibilities.\n\u201cAn early stage tech business without a first-class CTO might as well give up and go home.\u201d The key takeaway from Connell\u2019s advice is crystal clear. For those hoping to impress investors, common sense is essential: buddy up your skills. But that\u2019s not all you\u2019ll need to find seed money.\nThe quality of a start-up\u2019s founding team is just as important, Connell states.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the overriding factor I\u2019ll consider when I\u2019m looking to invest,\u201d she says, before breaking down why: \u201cA founding team must have the capacity to scale the business, and must consist of people who think big, have extraordinary ambition and are sufficiently self-aware enough to ask for support.\u201d\nConnell\u2019s wish for start-ups to throw away pride and ask for help when needed harks back to her first suggestion that founders should couple-up, but her words mainly reiterate an important piece of advice: prioritise the teams\u2019 skills. But what should a team look like when pitching a business?\nWell, firstly, Connell says, there should be pictures of key team members accompanied by relevant work experience and accreditations.\n\u201cIf a team member doesn\u2019t have much work experience, I\u2019m looking for relevant education. I\u2019m looking for people who catch my eye. People who have a great background that sets them up well to deliver on the investment pitch.\u201d\nAdditionally, Connell has extra requirements: \u201cWhat is also essential for me to see is that a company has an advisory board. This tells me they\u2019re surrounding themselves with support for growth. I look to see the quality of the advisors.\u201d\nTherefore, for SMEs, the search for seed money is a simple game. It\u2019s about showing interested parties your willingness to receive help and seek out a partner; it\u2019s about showing off colleagues\u2019 skills, experiences and achievements as the foremost important aspect of your presentation; and it\u2019s about using solidarity and coherence in a teams\u2019 shared goals to promise the longevity and subsequent successes within a business.\nBy stylising a presentation pitch this way, and catering to the concerns of angel investors or venture capitalists, start-up founders will find faithful investors in no time.\nIf you\u2019re looking for a guiding hand in your search for investors or other ways to generate business growth within your start-up or SME, visit our Business Trajectory Consultancy page to find out how we can help, or get in contact with our team.\nIn BTC Tags Start-up, Start-up Community, Business Trajectory Consultancy, Investment, Angel Investors, Team Skills, Start-up Help, SME\n\u2190 What Help is Available for Start-ups Seeking Funding?How to Initiate a Start-up into its Industry Using PR \u2192",

        "raw_content": "\u2018Sifting and Winnowing\u2019 Plaques Get New Life\nFor more than 25 years, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside\u2019s two duplicates of the famed \u201cSifting and Winnowing\u201d plaques that memorialize the Richard Ely academic freedom trial sat in a corner of the archives, virtually untouched. On at least two occasions, efforts were made to put the plaques on display, but to no avail. Then in 1998, with the university\u2019s 30th anniversary looming, Interim Chancellor Dr. Gordon H. Lamb decided the time had come to give the plaques their proper due.\nMartha Glowacki and Mary Dickey do finish work on one of the plaques. (Duzynski Photo)\nOld trophies line the shelves inside the former Madison Brass Works on the East Side of Wisconsin\u2019s capital city. Just feet from where craftsmen over the years made everything from airplane parts to torpedo components sit icons of more leisurely pursuits: a bowling champion from 1949, boat-racing trophies from the former owner. They sit seemingly untouched since the day they were placed there nearly 50 years ago. Much about the wood-frame foundry seems in a time warp. Old foundry patterns hang along the side walls like suits in a closet. The floor is stacked with flasks and jackets for pouring and forming molten metal. A huge green muller sits in the center, used to mix sand and carbonite. It all looks straight from the 1940s.\nIt\u2019s a good thing this place lives in the past. This building where the University of Wisconsin\u2019s \u201cSifting and Winnowing\u201d plaque was made in 1910 came to play a big role in UW-Parkside\u2019s project to restore and display its versions of the 255-pound plaque in 1998.\nThe Madison Brass Works technically no longer exists. Now called Celestial Stone Foundry and Forge, the company and its one employee/owner helped repair and restore UW-Parkside\u2019s two sifting and winnowing plaques and cast a rededication plaque using the very same pattern-maker\u2019s letters from the original.\nTom Pankratz examines the original wooden form that could date to 1910. (Duzynski Photo)\nIn 1910 when UW-Madison student Hugo H. Hering made what he later called the \u201cpurely hand-made\u201d wooden pattern for the sifting and winnowing plaque, he couldn\u2019t have intended for it to survive much beyond creation of the one plaque.\nStudent Hugo H. Hering chaired the memorial committee.\nHis effort not only survived his time, but it may still exist today. When contacted in early 1998 about making rededication plaques, Tom Pankratz, the owner of Celestial Stone Foundry, located the old wood pattern buried under others at the foundry. He can\u2019t be sure it is the exact version from 1910, but it is a distinct possibility it is original material from the Class of 1910.\n\u201cIt was accidental that it survived to this day,\u201d Pankratz said, surveying the old pattern, which was badly singed by a fire at the foundry in the 1960s. \u201cIt was buried under something.\u201d\nDave Olson, a retired Madison Brass foundry worker who volunteered his time to work on the UW-Parkside project, said it was unusual for patterns to survive so many years. \u201cMost places would either return it to the owner or get rid of it,\u201d he said.\nPankratz pours molten metal into the form while Dave Olson watches. (Duzynski Photo)\nPankratz carefully lifted letters from the historic pattern to create a plaque for UW-Parkside that states: \u201cRededicated 1998.\u201d It has the look and feel of the first sifting and winnowing plaque with the added historic flavor from the original letters.\nPankratz also found a master copy of the bronze anchor covers that adorn the original plaque on Bascom Hall in Madison. The ornate, 1.25-inch square tablets were used to cover the holes where the anchors were inserted to hold the plaque in place. Using the master, Pankratz created matching anchor covers for UW-Parkside\u2019s plaques.\n\u201cOriginally it was probably made by a hand carver,\u201d Olson said.\nArtists Martha Glowacki and Mary Dickey of Sylva Designs of Sauk City worked with Pankratz to repair and restore the two 4-by-4-foot plaques. The UW-Parkside plaques were cast in 1964. The holes drilled in the plaques when they hung at the old UW Centers in Racine and Kenosha were welded and new holes drilled to match the original plaque. The black surface under the brass letters was repaired and repainted. The brass surfaces were machine- and hand sanded and polished. At completion, the restored plaques had a luster probably matched only by the original sheen.\nThe anchor covers were used as give-aways at the 1998 rededication. (Duzynski Photo)\nGlowacki also created plaques that include explanatory text briefly telling the sifting and winnowing story. Those exquisite bronze plaques have etched letters and an etched photo of the UW-Parkside campus. \u201cWe enjoyed the project,\u201d Glowacki said. She, Dickey and Pankratz, all UW-Madison graduates, said it was a privilege to work on a project of such historic importance to the university.\nIn the case of the Sifting and Winnowing plaques, the third time was a charm. A committee of the 20th anniversary first attempted to find a suitable location for the plaques, but that effort was never completed. In 1992, UW-Parkside Interim Chancellor John Stockwell expressed desire to install the plaques, but the project didn\u2019t happen before he left the university.\nDr. Gordon H. Lamb made the decision to restore and display the plaques.\nIn 1998, Interim Chancellor Gordon H. Lamb saw an opportunity to install the plaques, tie them in to the 30th anniversary and promote a longstanding tradition of academic freedom. \u201cThe plaques symbolize such tradition,\u201d said Lamb, who went on to lead the University of Missouri System after leaving UW-Parkside. \u201cI felt it was important the campus embrace the history and the tradition.\u201d Lamb headed a committee that oversaw the restoration and planned for the new displays at UW-Parkside. The group included UW-Parkside Archivist Ellen Pedraza, who called new attention to the long-stored plaques in 1993.\nThe Sifting and Winnowing tablet along with commemorative plaque outside the UW-Parkside library. (Duzynski Photo)\nAt the rededication event held at UW-Parkside in late November 1998, new Chancellor Jack Keating expressed gratitude for the work to \u201cfree the plaques from the archive.\u201d He said the plaques are an important reminder of free intellectual discourse.\nProfessor Emeritus of Economics W. Lee Hansen said the plaques are a \u201cvivid expression\u201d of the university\u2019s search for truth.\nW. Lee Hansen, professor emeritus of economics at UW-Madison, called the 1894 Regents report that led to the plaque a \u201cforceful and vivid expression of a university\u2019s commitment to the search for truth.\u201d Hansen is editor of the 1998 book Academic Freedom on Trial: 100 Years of Sifting and Winnowing at the University of Wisconsin. The statement on the plaque, Hansen told the assembly, \u201caffirms the right, indeed the obligation, of faculty and students to pursue the truth through the Sifting and Winnowing process.\u201d (Dr. Hansen\u2019s entire talk from the event is available on his UW-Madison web site.)\nThe plaques were installed just outside the UW-Parkside library near the portrait of founding Chancellor Irvin G. Wyllie, and outside of the Admissions Office in Molinaro Hall.\nAnd the rest, as they say, is history. \u2666\n(A version of this article appeared in the winter 1998-99 issue of Perspective magazine at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.)\nGallery of photos shot by Chris Duzynski:\nDave Olson preps the form with carbonite.\nOlson and Pankratz lower the form into place.\nPankratz and Olson prepare the form for the molten metal.\nPankratz moves the bucket of molten metal with the aid of a hoist.\nThe load is steadied before the pour.\nPankratz pours molten metal into the form while Dave Olson watches.\nThe anchor covers were used as give-aways at the rededication.\nMartha Glowacki and Mary Dickey do finishing work on one of the plaques.\nTom Pankratz examines what is believed to be the original wooden \u201cSifting and Winnowing\u201d plaque form.\nAfter a year leading UW-Parkside during its search for a new chancellor, Dr. Gordon H. Lamb was named interim head of the University of Missouri System. He later founded his own consulting firm in Missouri doing executive recruiting. Dr. Lamb was a renowned expert on choral music and the author of Choral Techniques. As a music professor and choral conductor, he conducted concerts in 17 states and in Europe. He spent 10 years as president of Northeastern Illinois University, preceded by 16 years as a music professor and administrator at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Dr. Lamb was a skilled leader, a true gentleman and a great man \u2014 the best boss I\u2019ve ever had. He died on February 6, 2012 in Columbia, Missouri.\nMary Dickey\u2019s roadside shrine, \u201cA Call to Beauty.\u201d\nMary Dickey is curator for River Arts on Water, a gallery in downtown Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin. She recently designed and created a roadside shrine, \u201cA Call to Beauty,\u201d part of the Fermentation Fest Farm/Art DTour in fall 2014.\nMartha Glowacki is recently retired from her role as curator of the James Watrous Gallery in Madison, part of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences Arts & Letters. She was previously director of the Design Gallery at UW\u2013Madison. She and Tom Pankratz worked together on the 1999-2000 restoration of the World War I Doughboy statue in West Bend, Wisconsin. Pankratz sold his Madison foundry in 2014 and moved out West.\nW. Lee Hansen, professor emeritus of economics at UW-Madison, has been conducting research on the UW System\u2019s diversity programs. He is writing a book that will, among other things, examine the costs vs. benefits of diversity programs, arguing the university should have an admissions system based on merit and academic promise. He has also written extensively on the issue of academic freedom.\nacademic freedomGordon H.

        "title": "Depression: Living Without It | HealDove",
        "raw_content": "I live in a suburb of New Orleans and have been writing here off and on for six years. I have been married 53 years to the same crazy guy.\nThe dark has a certain magnetism.\nLooking back, remembering dark days, I've become more and more aware of things to do and not to do to avoid going down the bleak road that leads to depression. Because so many people\u2014friends and people I don't know\u2014shared their own personal struggles with depression with me after reading another article I wrote, I have developed a 12-step program using the things that helped me come back to find light and joy.\nFor me, depression could not be described as misery. I didn't care enough to be miserable. A friend called me one night from the emergency room and said he could not stop crying and was there trying to get some help for his depression. I didn't cry often when I was depressed. I think that would have helped. Some of the actors on television who are in the commercials for antidepressants look exactly like I felt\u2014like zombies. I sincerely do not want another person to feel the way I felt at times, and I can only hope these steps will be a ray of light, if only for one person.\nTwelve (Difficult) Steps\nThese are things I remember from the years when I went through spells of depression. I now monitor each of them conscientiously because I never want to visit that place again. These steps will not be easy ones to take. Remember that they are steps toward the light.\n1. Invite light and color back into your life.\nIf you are like I was, you want the house to be dark to match your mood. Don't do it. Open the blinds, curtains, shutters, whatever, and let the light in. Your emotional self will try to recreate itself in your surroundings, and it's up to you not to give in to it. The same goes for what you wear. If you find yourself reaching for everything black in your closet, make yourself drag out that red sweater, even if it's the last color you \"feel\" like. It's a statement to your depression that you're not buying into it and that you're eventually going to win this battle.\n2. Remember these words: \"Without music, life would be a mistake.\" \u2013Nietzsche\nWhen driving in your car or listening to music at home, dark songs will draw you in if you let them. Keep it upbeat. I'll never forget one day the Dooby Brothers lifted me from a very bad place. Since then, Listen to the Music is a huge favorite.\n3. Choose books, T.V., and movies carefully.\nBe careful about what you read. I read Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar during one of my worst periods of depression and couldn't get some of the images out of my head for weeks. If you can't stomach something uplifting, go for neutral or \"potato chip books,\" as my friend from New Jersey calls them, the books that occupy your mind but don't necessarily challenge it. The same goes for television. Stay away from the morbid and sad. If you can't handle comedies, watch the History Channel. It's interesting and bland.\n4. Search out other people. Solitude is what you want, not what you need.\nThis is big. The thing we all want to do when we're depressed is to be left alone. This is what you don't need. Make yourself get out of the house. I can remember dragging myself to a meeting one night because I knew I should go when all I wanted to do was sleep. That meeting was the spark that stopped a downward spiral. Sometimes we don't want company, but don't want to be alone. I have learned that Barnes and Noble is a wonderful place to be. Find a chair and read and work in a little people watching. The library is also good. You aren't forced into conversing, but you are not alone. Being around others makes us feel part of something and in dark times, we need that feeling, that we are connected to others (even if we don't want to talk to them).\n5. Food matters. Don't undermine your efforts by eating incorrectly.\nDon't binge eat. One of the hardest things for me, even now, when I'm melancholy is not eating. I think probably a large percentage of the population is on some sort of antidepressant and the other half is on lots and lots of food. Granted, overeating does have a calming effect; however, it also contributes to a feeling of not having control and ramps up the worthless, hopeless feelings. In addition, I find that when I consume large amounts of salts and preservatives, it makes me nervous, which usually leads to depression, although the two seem contradictory.\n6. Be cautious with caffeine. It can lead to physical issues.\nBe extra careful about coffee intake. When we're depressed or just mopey, we want something to pick us up. This is how I developed my 15-cup-a-day coffee habit, something that I am working very hard to overcome. If you feel you must have a lift, try tea. It gives a bit of a lift and much less caffeine. (A note written months later: My caffeine habit also led to atrial fibrillation. Don't think it can't happen to you, as I did.)\n7. Speak to only professionals about your depression. Confiding to friends and family does not work out well.\nThis is one of the most important things as far as I'm concerned. Your friends and family are not the people to talk to about your depression. They are not trained to give you the right advice. Like my mom, they'll likely tell you to \"get yourself in a better mood.\" Also, when you're back to your usual self, you may not like the idea of others knowing your personal challenges. Find a psychologist, psychiatrist, therapist, a professional who knows what to say to you and how to help you. So many friends who read my article, Depression: The Bell Jar, have asked me: How do I know when I need to see someone? My standard answer is: When life becomes something to be endured. You may have a day like that or even a week like that, but after three weeks or a month, it's time to make a move. Also, make a list of \"emergency\" numbers. There are numbers available for desperate people. The problem is that desperate people are not going to go to the phone book or computer to find a number to call. Find at least three hotlines when you're having a good day and write them down to use when you need them. They may say suicide hot-lines, but they will listen to you and help you even if you are not to that point.\n8. Other depressed people have no answers for you; they have none for themselves.\nOne of the biggest mistakes I made during my dark days was aligning myself with others who were negative, depressive, and always ready to share their problems. We do that because we think: \"Oh, I'm not that bad. My problems are not that large.\" At some point, I pulled away from other depressed people, but I wasn't quite ready for good relationships either. I went through a period of being alone. It was okay. As I began to feel better, I felt more confident about making friends again and the ones I made are still around and enriching my life every day.\n9. Naps are one thing; sleeping to escape the day is another.\nTry to avoid it. Long-term use of antidepressants, unless your doctors see a true need for them, is a bad idea.\nAlthough at times it can be extremely difficult, try to avoid sleeping during the day. It is so tempting when both your body and mind hurt and all you want to do is close it all down, but it leads to sleepless nights and feelings of worthlessness. If you start taking anti-depressants, remember that they are not meant to be a permanent solution to life's problems, but a temporary aid to help us when we need help. As soon as you feel ready, taper off of them. Find your own joy, not something that comes in a bottle.\n10. Exercise changes the chemicals in your brain. Make yourself do it as much as possible.\nOkay. This gets difficult. When you're down in the mouth, as my dad used to say, the last thing you ever want to do is exercise. Even when I'm in a fabulous mood, one of the last things I want to do is exercise. However, it's one of the things that helped my dad when he was anxious and one of the things the wonderful therapist I saw recommended. Don't do anything fancy. Just walk. Walk outside if possible. Go to a park or just walk in your own neighborhood. The outdoors is wonderful medicine. Take advantage of it.\n11. If you are not a believer, pray to the Universe, to your Higher Self, to someone/something.\nWhatever you perceive God to be, pray to that God. Do it every day. If nothing else, ask for help to drag yourself out of the dark. You may pray every day for a month and feel absolutely nothing\u2014like you're praying to a rock. But one day you may feel yourself surrounded by love and the peace that passes all understanding. So you must pray every day. And soon perhaps, like me, instead of asking for help, you'll be giving thanks for the help you've received.\n12. Never, ever give up. Visualize the day that you will wake up in the morning and want to get up. It will come.\nThe final step is a big one. Don't give up on yourself. If your family gets enough of your sadness, if your friends avoid you because you're a downer, if you hear the tapes of your parents' voices in your head every day, telling you your faults, even then, you must never, ever give up on yourself. I have a friend whose favorite movie line is from Tom Hanks' Castaway. I don't know the context, but Hanks' line was: \"Never give up because tomorrow the sun will rise, and you never know what the tide will bring.\" We must live that way.\nThe Light Is Always There, Waiting\nIt is not the Light that becomes lost. It does not dim, go away, or fade. It is always there, waiting for us when we return.\nI do not pretend that most of these things come easily. The easy thing to do is give in to the darkness. These things take effort. These steps are the way home, back to the light. A woman I know calls depression the devil. Let's give the devil its due: It has a certain draw, appeal, magnetism, as do all dark things. And we must be strong enough to resist.\nGet well. Use these steps. Find other things that will help you take one more step back to joy. Come back to the light and see what the tide might have in store for you. You never know. I wish you Godspeed. I am living proof that those days can become a vague memory, dredged up for no other purpose than to remind me of where I was and where I am now. I did it and you can do it.\nPositive Steps to Help Deal With Depression\nby Mark Morton1\nRainy Days and Mondays: Why Do We Feel Sad and Depressed?\nThank you, Wiccan, for your comments. I am constantly on guard. It's been a few years since I was truly depress, but I know it can always happen again.\nBeautiful hub, great points all. Depression can be a painful period and it's so easy to fall into self-destructive downward spirals if we're not careful.\nHope these \"steps\" help someone.\nThese suggestions are the best I've ever read, especially because they come from someone who has walked out of the dark and into the light. Anyone who has ever had dark days or times when sad circumstances have become unbearable will find this advice useful. I will follow it.\nI am glad you have found something to help you rid yourself\nof the symptoms of depression.\nI would like to recommend prozac to all patients who experience the symptoms of depression. I am using this medicine since 8 months. It has helped me a lot in getting rid of those troubling symptoms.\nhttp://www.buyprozaccheap.com\nI'm glad you like this hub. I'm glad someone else recognizes and understands the pull that depression has. It's so much easier just to give in. I've always heard that Lexapro was a wonderful drug, but I'm glad to hear you weaned yourself off. I like the feeling that I'm me without chemicals. Prozac made me feel like I was underwater. I believe I'll always be okay now except I know I'll always have to be vigilant.\nHi Marsei,\nThese are such helpful suggestions! Depression is quite different from just sadness. It is a retreat from living and a shut-down of our inner being. As your title says, the darkness really does have a magnetism that pulls us into a downward spiral. I've fought it off and on for years but have managed to wean off and stay off medication for almost a year now. Fortunately Lexapro didn't make me feel like a zombie, just more like my normal self. It was the weight gain that I objected to. I hope you manage to stay on track. Thank you for the great hub:)",

        "raw_content": "10 Essential Facts About Melatonin\nBy mikaUpdated: Dec 14, 2018\nMelatonin is a vital hormone produced in humans and animals. In a way, melatonin regulates our internal rhythm: when we wake up, what time we go to sleep, and when we feel tired. Having too little melatonin can negatively influence our health, but having too much isn't desirable either. If you're planning on taking melatonin supplements, read these ten essential facts about melatonin first.\n1. The Body Produces Melatonin Naturally\nEven though melatonin can be readily purchased at pharmacies, it is also naturally produced by the body. Just like any other hormone, the body produces a certain amount of melatonin, ideally just the right amount for correct bodily function. Some people refer to melatonin as the \"Dracula hormone\" due to its tendency to make you feel sleepy. Melatonin is produced by a small gland in the brain called the pineal gland. If melatonin production becomes impaired, you may find it difficult to fall asleep. That's where melatonin supplements can come in handy, allowing you to get a better night's sleep.",

        "title": "Is fluoride considered a poison in most European countries? | HowStuffWorks",
        "raw_content": "Browse the article Is fluoride considered a poison in most European countries?\nSome European countries have banned the fluoridation of drinking water.\nBallyscanlon/ Photodisc/Getty Images\nThe practice of water fluoridation has been controversial from day one. It was first introduced in the U.S. in the 1940s, when Grand Rapids, Mich. added fluoride to its public water supply in the wake of wide evidence that fluoride helps strengthen teeth and supports oral health. Many of us use toothpaste with fluoride in it for this purpose, and organizations like the American Dental Association and the International Dental Federation believe that drinking water with added fluoride can help our teeth in much the same way that toothpaste does. After the World Health Organization's 1969 endorsement, countries throughout the world began fluoridating their drinking water.\nHowever, in the 1970s through the1990s, some European countries reversed their stance. Countries like Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands and Finland discontinued fluoridation, while France never even started. The exact reasons for the policy change depend on who you ask. Some sources say it's because the proclaimed benefits weren't panning out or because the logistics just weren't practical for certain areas. Others claim it's because, technically, fluoride can be poisonous.\nPoisonous? Yes -- but then, lots of the things we ingest are potentially poisonous, like alcoholic beverages, the mercury in fish and the magnesium in antacids. It would be very hard to consume enough antacid medicine to die from magnesium poisoning, though.\nAt what dosage level does fluoride become harmful? How much is in the U.S. water supply? Next, we'll learn what can happen if we ingest too much of it.\nThe whole family doesn't have to be there, but because of the potential for fluoride poisoning, children should be supervised while they brush their teeth.\nBert Hardy/Hulton Archive/Getty Images\nMost of us know fluoride as the stuff that's in our toothpaste. Fluoride is a molecule containing the element fluorine (F) -- and you get it when you combine fluoride with another element. The fluoride added to water is usually either hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) or sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na2SiF26). But fluoride occurs naturally in all sorts of places, including some tea leaves, seaweed, soil and rocks. It's put in toothpaste and mouthwash to prevent tooth decay, but it's also added to rat poison and insecticides to kill stuff.\nMost fluoride toxicity cases occur when someone ingests such poisons or insecticides. It's one of the reasons people child-proof their homes. When someone (typically a child) swallows fluoride, it hits\u00ad the stomach and forms hydrofluoric acid, which can irritate and corrode the stomach lining. Once the gastrointestinal (GI) tract absorbs the fluoride, it causes, at the very least, bad stomachaches and diarrhea. It can cause serious GI problems and sometimes even seizures at doses of above 3 mg/kg. At doses of 5 to 10 grams for an adult, or 500 mg for a child, fluoride poisoning can damage major organs and cause death.\nBut that's not the kind of fluoride poisoning people are talking about when they discuss fluoridating water. They're talking about a less immediate form of fluoride toxicity that can result from drinking over-fluoridated water over a significant period of time -- like years. In this type of fluoride poisoning, the most commonly reported effects are dental and skeletal fluorosis -- conditions that weaken the teeth and bones, ironically.\nThe thing is, our drinking water already has fluoride in it, even without adding a thing. In drinking water, you'll find naturally occurring fluoride in amounts ranging from 0.05 parts per million (ppm, or mg/L) and 14 ppm [source: Bender]. The EPA set the highest safe amount at 4 ppm, so that upper-level 14 ppm is considered dangerous. The reason some states and countries add fluoride is because the low end of natural occurrence -- that 0.05 ppm -- is considered to be too low to help strengthen teeth. About 60 percent of U.S. cities fluoridate public drinking water to achieve levels of about 1 ppm. According to the American Dental Association, the optimal dose varies from 0.7 ppm to 1.2 ppm [source: ADA]. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences even recommends a daily intake of 1.5 mg to 4 mg a day [source: Drugs.com] to support healthy teeth and bones.\nSo if the right amount of fluoride has such appealing health benefits, and we can control the amount of fluoride in drinking water, why has most of Europe rejected water fluoridation? In the next section, we'll see what the big debate is all about.\nTo learn more about fluoride, look over the links on the next page.",

These are traumas that the individual has experienced in the past as well as difficulties that they are experiencing in the present. Over the course of multiple therapeutic sessions, a licensed therapist guides the client through a total of eight phases, which culminates in the individual who underwent treatment being able to assess the progress they have made during the course of their EMDR sessions.\nEMDR Was Originally Developed In the 1980s\nHeritageProfessional\nDr. Francine Shapiro is the original developer of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMR). Starting in the late 1980s, Dr. Shapiro designed a method for treating clients who had experienced traumatic events. Essentially, treatment was targeted toward those who were experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Other therapists learned of Dr. Shapiro\u2019s technique and began training. Dr. Shapiro has personally trained many clinicians. Since its inception, over 10,000 therapists have been trained to use EMDR with their clients. Additionally, Dr. Shapiro founded a non-profit called Trauma Recovery EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs, which provides aid to those who have survived major disasters.",

        "title": "China\u2019s Wine Market Consumer Preferences (2): Purchase Channels, Consideration Factors and Preferred Production Region | hktdc research | HKMB - Hong Kong Means Business",
        "raw_content": "China\u2019s Wine Market Consumer Preferences (2): Purchase Channels, Consideration Factors and Preferred Production Region\nAs Chinese consumers pursue a higher quality of life, their diet and tastes are becoming more and more westernised. They have developed the habit of drinking wine at home and at gatherings with friends and relatives. As a result, the mainland wine market is growing rapidly.\nAccording to a consumer survey on the mainland wine market [1] conducted by HKTDC Research, the older the respondents, the higher their tendency to buy wine at bricks-and-mortar stores. While the majority of respondents learn about wine from friends / salespeople, younger consumers and those who have a higher monthly household income tend to acquire such knowledge by trying wine by the glass at specialist wine outlets / bars, visiting wine fairs and attending wine tasting events.\nSurvey respondents\u2019 prime consideration factor in purchasing wine is \u201ctaste\u201d, followed by \u201cbrand\u201d and \u201cgrape varieties\u201d. As regards place of production, 75% of the respondents said they prefer wine produced in France, followed by China (46%) and Italy (30%). Hong Kong companies wishing to tap the mainland wine market should try to understand the buying behaviour and consumer preferences of their target customers in order to formulate the right marketing strategy.\nThe survey found that the majority of the respondents (68%) buy wine at supermarkets / hypermarkets, with the exception of those in Guangzhou and Harbin who mostly make purchases at specialist wine outlets. Where online shopping is concerned, the proportion of respondents in Beijing (48%), Shanghai (47%) and Suzhou (47%) who buy wine on general online platforms (e.g. JD.com, Tmall.com) is markedly higher that the overall average of 41%. Moreover, 38% of the respondents said that they would purchase wine via online wine vendors (e.g. vinehoo.com, majorcellar.com), with the proportion of respondents in Suzhou (45%) and Guangzhou (44%) considerably higher than the overall average. Some focus group discussion participants pointed out that the advantage of buying wine online is they can make purchase decisions after reading the comments on the wine made by the online shop as well as by other consumers.\nThe older the respondents, the higher is their tendency to buy wine at supermarkets / hypermarkets and specialist wine outlets. The advantage of making purchases at bricks-and-mortar stores is that salespeople can recommend the right product to customers according to their needs, occasion for consumption and acceptable price points. They can also provide customers with information on the special taste and brand history of different products. The percentage of respondents aged 41-50 buying wine via general online platforms (47%) and online wine vendors (43%) is higher than that of other age groups.\nThe market positioning and price of wines sold at different channels also vary. Generally speaking, wines offered at supermarkets / hypermarkets mainly target the mass market, while products sold at wine merchants are higher in grade and price. Respondents with a monthly household income of RMB8,000-14,999 tend to buy wine at supermarkets / hypermarkets more often, whereas those with a monthly household income of over RMB20,000 purchase at wine shops more than those in lower income brackets. Survey findings also show that the higher the monthly household income, the higher is the proportion of respondents buying wine via online platforms.\nChannels for Learning about Wine\nMainland consumers mostly learn about wine from friends, salespeople and websites, with relatively few of them taking dedicated training courses. According to the survey, most of the respondents (58%) obtain wine knowledge from friends / salespeople. However, respondents in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu tend to acquire such information by searching on the internet, while those in Guangzhou prefer to obtain wine information by visiting wine fairs and attending wine tasting events.\nAs pointed out by one vineyard director, wine dinners are becoming popular in major mainland cities. Wine dinners are typically organised by wine dealers at upmarket restaurants on a regular basis by selling tickets to selected customers. Each course of the meal is specially designed to pair with different wines, allowing the diners to eat gourmet food, taste good wine and discuss the characteristics of each wine. These wine dinners are particularly effective in promoting wines newly launched onto the market.\nThe survey shows that the proportion of respondents with a higher monthly household income (over RMB20,000) and those at a younger age (aged 20-30) are more likely than other groups to learn about wine through trying it by the glass at specialist wine outlets / bars, visiting wine fairs, and attending wine tastings held by wine dealers. In light of this, Hong Kong companies planning to host such wine promotional events should target these two consumer groups.\nConsideration Factors in Wine Purchase\nMainlanders are becoming more rational in wine consumption. Today, when buying wine they tend to choose the product that suits their taste rather than go after brand and price. In the past, wine was mostly consumed at business events, where expensive products meant face. But today, wine is mostly consumed on private occasions and people often like to have a sip of wine at home and at gatherings with friends and relatives. On these occasions, the choice of a good product at a good price can show that one is discerning and knows how to choose the best wine.\nThe survey finds that nearly half of the respondents reckon that \u201ctaste\u201d is the most important consideration factor in purchasing wine. However, 48% of the respondents in Beijing and 56% in Nanjing attach more importance to \u201cbrand\u201d than to \u201ctaste\u201d. The percentage of respondents in Nanjing (32%) considering price as the prime factor is higher than the overall average (22%).\nOverall, different respondent groups\u2019 consideration factors in buying wine do not differ greatly. \u201cTaste\u201d is the most important criterion, followed by brand and grape varieties.\nProduct of France Preferred\nFrance is the most prestigious wine producer in the world, with Bordeaux and Burgundy being the best-known production regions. The majority of respondents (75%) indicate that they prefer French wine, with the proportion of those in Shanghai being the highest (84%). Second to France is China, with 46% of the respondents saying that they prefer wine produced in the mainland. Famous wine producing regions in China include Yantai and Qingdao in Shandong province, Shacheng in Hebei province, and Lantian in Shaanxi province. Wines produced locally in China are popular with mainland consumers, especially respondents in Beijing (55%) and Nanjing (53%). Some of the focus group participants pointed out that they are happy to try wines from different regions as they are still in the process of learning how to choose wine suiting their own taste.\nDifferent respondent groups do not differ greatly in their preference for wine production regions, with the overall top three being France, China and Italy.\nStrategy for Selling to China\u2019s Wine Market\nIn recent years, mainlanders have become more rational where wine consumption is concerned. They tend to choose wine that suits their own taste rather than opt for expensive brands. They have a strong interest in trying different wines from all over the world in order to identify high price-performance ratio products. Hence, Hong Kong companies can bring in medium to high-end wines from different production regions and sell mass-market products at supermarkets / hypermarkets, while offering exclusive and niche products at specialist wine outlets and boutique supermarkets. To reach out to young consumers and high-income earners, Hong Kong companies can consider targeted marketing by participating in wine fairs, organising wine tasting events or hosting wine dinners.\nMainland consumers like to buy wine via general online platforms and online wine merchants. They also learn about wine by reading user comments and product information available on these platforms. Hong Kong companies tapping the mainland wine market should not overlook the importance of online platforms in both sales and promotion.\nToday, the bottle size of most of the wines offered on the market is 750 ml. The survey finds that 73% of the respondents prefer smaller bottle size (such as 375 ml), in particular female respondents (80%). To address this market need and stand out from the crowd, Hong Kong companies can consider supplying wine with a smaller bottle size.\nMainland consumers are seeking a more elegant lifestyle and seeking the finer things in life as their income and purchasing power increase. They are also becoming better informed and like to taste good food and wine from around the world. For this reason, demand for wine has soared in recent years.\nHKTDC Research conducted a survey on China\u2019s wine market in the fourth quarter of 2017 in the hope of gaining a better understanding of consumers\u2019 spending mentality, drinking habits and purchase preferences, in order to provide a useful reference for Hong Kong companies interested in venturing into the mainland market.\nThere are different kinds of wine, but the present survey mainly covers four categories, namely, red wine, white wine, ros\u00e9 and champagne/sparkling wine.\nThe survey was carried out in October 2017 in 10 mainland cities where a total of 2,400 consumers were polled by online questionnaire. Before conducting the questionnaire survey, six consumer focus group discussions were held in Shanghai, Wuhan and Chengdu (two in each city). The objective of the focus group discussions was to take an in-depth look at the spending mentality of mainland consumers by way of qualitative analysis.\n[1] See Appendix for details of the survey.\nonline wine vendor,\nwine dinner,\nboutique supermarkets,\nRED WINE126699\nWHITE WINE127253\nROS\u00e9127254\nCHAMPAGNE120044\nSPARKLING WINE127255\nONLINE WINE VENDOR127351\nWINE DINNER126704\nTASTING MENU127352\nBOUTIQUE SUPERMARKETS127353\nCONSUMER DEMAND76770",

        "raw_content": "Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by artist Steve Ditko and writer Stan Lee,[1] the character first appeared in Strange Tales #110 (cover-dated July 1963). Doctor Strange serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Inspired by stories of black magic and Chandu the Magician, Strange was created during the Silver Age of Comic Books to bring a different kind of character and themes of mysticism to Marvel Comics.\nThe character's origin story indicates that he was once an egotistical surgeon. After a car accident severely damages his hands and hinders his ability to perform surgery, he searches the globe for a way to repair them and encounters the Ancient One. After becoming one of the old Sorcerer Supreme's students, he becomes a practitioner of both the mystical arts and the martial arts. He has a suit consisting of two main relics, the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto, which give him added powers. Strange is aided along the way by his friend and valet, Wong, and a large assortment of mystical objects. He takes up residence in a mansion called the Sanctum Sanctorum, located in New York City. Later, Strange takes the title of Sorcerer Supreme to help to defend the world against future threats.\nIn 2008, Doctor Strange was ranked 83rd in Wizard's \"200 Greatest Comic Book Characters of All Time\" list,[2] and in 2012 was ranked 33rd in IGN's list of \"The Top 50 Avengers\".[3] He was also ranked 38th on IGN's list of \"Top 100 Comic Book Heroes\".[4] The character was first portrayed in live-action by Peter Hooten in the 1978 television film Dr. Strange. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, first appearing in the role in the 2016 film Doctor Strange. He reprised the role in the 2017 film Thor: Ragnarok, the 2018 film Avengers: Infinity War, and will return in Avengers: Endgame in 2019.\nTextless cover of Doctor Strange #2\nStrange Tales #110 (July 1963)\nMaster of the Mystic Arts\nMastery of magic\nUtilizes mystical artifacts, such as the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto\nTrained physician\nSkilled martial artist\nArtist Steve Ditko and writer Stan Lee have described the character as having been originally the idea of Ditko, who wrote in 2008, \"On my own, I brought in to Lee a five-page, penciled story with a page/panel script of my idea of a new, different kind of character for variety in Marvel Comics. My character wound up being named Dr. Strange because he would appear in Strange Tales.\"[5] In a 1963 letter to Jerry Bails, Lee called the character Ditko's idea, saying:\nWell, we have a new character in the works for Strange Tales (just a 5-page filler named Dr. Strange) Steve Ditko is gonna draw him. It has sort of a black magic theme. The first story is nothing great, but perhaps we can make something of him-- 'twas Steve's idea and I figured we'd give it a chance, although again, we had to rush the first one too much. Little sidelight: Originally decided to call him Mr. Strange, but thought the \"Mr.\" bit too similar to Mr. Fantastic -- now, however, I remember we had a villain called Dr. Strange just recently in one of our mags, hope it won't be too confusing![6]\nDoctor Strange debuted in Strange Tales #110 (July 1963),[7] a split book shared with the feature \"The Human Torch\". Doctor Strange appeared in issues #110\u2013111 and #114 before the character's eight-page origin story in #115 (December 1963). Scripter Lee's take on the character was inspired by the Chandu the Magician radio program that aired on the Mutual Broadcasting System in the 1930s.[8] He had Doctor Strange accompany spells with elaborate artifacts, such as the \"Eye of Agamotto\", the \"Wand of Watoomb\", and \"Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth\";[1] though these often referenced the names of established mythological beings, Lee has said he never had any idea what the incantations meant and used them simply because they sounded mystical and mysterious.[9] Ditko showcased surrealistic mystical landscapes and increasingly vivid visuals that helped make the feature a favorite of college students at the time. Comics historian Mike Benton wrote:\nSplash page, Strange Tales #110 (July 1963), the character's debut. Art by Steve Ditko\nThe Dr. Strange stories of the 1960s constructed a cohesive cosmology that would have thrilled any self-respecting theosophist. College students, minds freshly opened by psychedelic experiences and Eastern mysticism, read Ditko and Lee's Dr. Strange stories with the belief of a recent Hare Krishna convert. Meaning was everywhere, and readers analyzed the Dr. Strange stories for their relationship to Egyptian myths, Sumerian gods, and Jungian archetypes.[10]\n\"People who read Doctor Strange thought people at Marvel must be heads [i.e., drug users],\" recalled then-associate editor and former Doctor Strange writer Roy Thomas in 1971, \"because they had had similar experiences high on mushrooms. But I don't use hallucinogens, nor do I think any artists do.\"[11]\nOriginating in the early 1960s, the character was a predictor of counter-cultural trends in art prior to them becoming more established in the later 1960s. As historian Bradford W. Wright described:\nDoctor Strange #177 (February 1969), the debut of Strange's short-lived new look. Cover art by Gene Colan and Tom Palmer.\nSteve Ditko contributed some of his most surrealistic work to the comic book and gave it a disorienting, hallucinogenic quality. Dr. Strange's adventures take place in bizarre worlds and twisting dimensions that resembled Salvador Dal\u00ed paintings. Inspired by the pulp-fiction magicians of Stan Lee's childhood as well as by contemporary Beat culture, Dr. Strange remarkably predicted the youth counterculture's fascination with Eastern mysticism and psychedelia. Never among Marvel's more popular or accessible characters, Dr. Strange still found a niche among an audience seeking a challenging alternative to more conventional superhero fare.[12]\nAs co-plotter and later sole plotter in the Marvel Method, Ditko took Strange into ever-more-abstract realms. In a 17-issue story arc in Strange Tales #130-146 (March 1965 \u2013 July 1966), Ditko introduced the cosmic character Eternity, who personified the universe and was depicted as a silhouette filled with the cosmos.[13] Golden Age artist/writer Bill Everett succeeded Ditko as artist with issues #147-152, followed by Marie Severin through #160 and Dan Adkins through #168, the final issue before the Nick Fury feature moved to its own title and Strange Tales was renamed Doctor Strange.[14] Expanded to 20 pages per issue, the Doctor Strange solo series ran 15 issues, #169-183 (June 1968 \u2013 November 1969), continuing the numbering of Strange Tales.[14][15] Thomas wrote the run of new stories, joined after the first three issues by the art team of penciler Gene Colan and inker Tom Palmer through the end.\nAfter plans were announced for a never-realized split book series featuring Doctor Strange and Iceman, each in solo adventures,[16] Strange next appeared in the first three issues (December 1971 \u2013 June 1972) of the quarterly showcase title Marvel Feature. He appeared in both the main story detailing the formation of superhero \"non-team\" the Defenders,[17] and the related back-up story. The character then starred in a revival solo series in Marvel Premiere #3-14 (July 1972 \u2013 March 1974).[18] This arc marked the debut of another recurring foe, the entity Shuma-Gorath, created by writer Steve Englehart and artist Frank Brunner, who took over as the regular creative team starting with Marvel Premiere #10. Englehart and Brunner collaborated closely on the stories, meeting over dinner every two months to discuss the series, and their run became known for its psychedelic visuals and plots.[19] In issues #8-10 (May\u2013September 1973), Strange is forced to shut down the Ancient One's mind, causing his mentor's physical death. Strange then assumes the title of Sorcerer Supreme.[20] Englehart and Brunner created another multi-issue storyline featuring sorcerer Sise-Neg (\"Genesis\" spelled backward) going back through history, collecting all magical energies, until he reaches the beginning of the universe, becomes all-powerful and creates it anew, leaving Strange to wonder whether this was, paradoxically, the original creation. Stan Lee, seeing the issue after publication, ordered Englehart and Brunner to print a retraction saying this was not God but a god, to avoid offending religious readers. The writer and artist concocted a fake letter from a fictitious minister praising the story, and mailed it to Marvel from Texas. Marvel unwittingly printed the letter and dropped the retraction.[21]\nDue to the growing number of Doctor Strange readers,[19] the Marvel Premiere series segued to the character's second ongoing title, Doctor Strange: Master of the Mystic Arts, also known as Doctor Strange vol. 2, which ran 81 issues (June 1974 \u2013 February 1987).[22] Doctor Strange #14 featured a crossover story with The Tomb of Dracula #44, another series which was being drawn by Gene Colan at the time.[23] In Englehart's final story, he sent Dr. Strange back in time to meet Benjamin Franklin.[24]\nStrange met his allies Topaz in #75 (Feb, 1986) and Rintrah in #80 (December 1986). The series ended with a cliffhanger as his home, the Sanctum Sanctorum, was heavily damaged during a battle. Among the losses was Doctor Strange's entire collection of mystic books and other important artifacts. As a consequence, Strange was now considerably weaker and several spells designed to protect humanity from vampires and the evil serpent god Set expired.\nThe title was discontinued so that the character's adventures could be transferred to another split book format series. Strange Tales vol. 2, #1-19 (April 1987 \u2013 October 1988) was shared with street heroes Cloak and Dagger. This new Doctor Strange series resolved Strange's quest to reclaim his power and missing artifacts, as well as resurrecting the Defenders, who had died in the last issue of that team's title.\nStrange was returned to his own series, this time titled Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme, which ran 90 issues (November 1988 \u2013 June 1996).[25] The initial creative team was writer Peter B. Gillis and artists Richard Case and Randy Emberlin, with storylines often spanning multiple issues. Strange lost the title of \"Sorcerer Supreme\" in issues #48-49 (December 1992 \u2013 January 1993) when he refused to fight a war on behalf of the Vishanti, the mystical entities that empower his spells. During this time the series became part of the \"Midnight Sons\" group of Marvel's supernatural comics.[26][27] Doctor Strange found new sources of magical strength in the form of chaos magic,[28] as well as a magic construct he used as a proxy.[29] He would form the Secret Defenders with a rotating roster of heroes,[30] and reunite with the original Defenders. Strange regained his title in Doctor Strange: Sorcerer Supreme #80 (August 1995).\nStrange appeared with the Human Torch and the Thing in the one-shot publication Strange Tales vol. 3, #1 (November 1994).[31]\nThe character was featured in several limited series. The first was Doctor Strange: The Flight of Bones #1-#4 (February \u2013 May 1999), with a series of spontaneous combustions by criminals instigated by old foe Dormammu. Strange was the catalyst for the creation of a trio of sorceresses in Witches #1-#4 (August\u2013November 2004). The Strange limited series (November 2004 \u2013 July 2005) by writers J. Michael Straczynski and Samm Barnes updated the character's origin.[32] Another limited series, Doctor Strange: The Oath #1-5 (December 2006 \u2013 April 2007), written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Marcos Martin, focused on Strange's responsibilities as sorcerer and doctor.\nDoctor Strange has appeared in four graphic novels: Doctor Strange: Into Shamballa (1986); Doctor Strange & Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment (1989); Spider-Man/Dr. Strange: The Way to Dusty Death (1992); and Dr. Strange: What Is It That Disturbs You, Stephen? (1997).\nStrange appeared as a supporting character for the bulk of the 2000s. He appeared regularly in The Amazing Spider-Man under J. Michael Straczynski, before being cast into a time loop by Baron Mordo. He later appeared on and off in The New Avengers, where he was stated as being part of the secret group known as the Illuminati to deal with future threats to Earth. Ultimately Strange joined the team and allowed them to use his home as a base after the events of the 2006 \"Civil War\" storyline, which he sat out. Doctor Strange was critical of the federal Superhuman Registration Act and aided the anti-registration Avengers team led by Luke Cage.[33]\nDuring the Bendis run, Doctor Doom attacked the Avengers and manipulated the Scarlet Witch into eliminating most of the mutant population. Doctor Strange's failure to recognize Doom's hand in the former and to stop the latter caused him to start to doubt his abilities. After he was forced to use dark magic to confront an enraged Hulk,[34] followed by further use of dark spells to save the New Avengers from the Hood's supervillain army,[35] Strange renounced his status as Sorcerer Supreme, as he felt that he was no longer worthy of it. The Eye of Agamotto passed the mantle on to Brother Voodoo.[36]\nHe was also featured in The Order, which spun out of the 2000 Defenders revival, and the Indefensible Defenders mini-series.\nDoctor Strange appeared as a regular character throughout the 2010-2013 The New Avengers series.[37] Brother Voodoo, now newly appointed Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Voodoo, sacrifices himself in order to stop the powerful mystical entity Agamotto from reclaiming the Eye.[38] A guilt-ridden Strange rejoins the New Avengers, and offers the team his valet Wong to act as their housekeeper.[39]\nStrange eventually regains his position of Sorcerer Supreme,[40] but is possessed by a demon and becomes leader of the Black Priests.[41]\nAfter the various Marvel universes merge into one, Doctor Strange acts as righthand man of Doctor Doom, who has become the ruler of this world after erasing all recollection of the previous separate realities that existed. Circumstances force Strange to open a pod that releases the surviving heroes of the original Marvel continuity, known as Earth-616. Doom kills Doctor Strange.[42]\nIn 2015, Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo teamed up for the fourth volume of Doctor Strange.[43] A new character, reluctant librarian Zelma Stanton, agrees to reorganize Strange's magical library.[44] Brother Voodoo returns, and the series and a spinoff, Dr. Strange: Last Days of Magic, sees such characters as Medico Mistico, Magik, Scarlet Witch, Mahatma Doom, Professor Xu, Monako, and Alice Gulliver.[45] With the laws of magic fundamentally altered, and with the loss of his former resources, Doctor Strange is forced to depend on his own physical skills and inventive use of his few functional spells. He eventually no longer has access to most of his former spells or his levitating cape.[46]\nDuring the \"Infinity Countdown\" storyline, Doctor Strange goes on a space mission. He encounters Super-Skrull who has the Time Gem. After defeating Super-Skrull, Doctor Strange claims the Time Gem.[47] Doctor Strange then tracks down the Mind Gem and finds it in Turk Barrett's possession as Turk managed to evade him. When Black Widow's clone arrives seeking out Doctor Strange where she wants to dispose of the Space Stone, he did not want to take it as he knows what would happen if they are in the same proximity. Using a magic spell, Doctor Strange spoke to the holders of the Infinity Gems and requested a parley to reform the Infinity Watch. He states to Adam Warlock, Black Widow's clone, Captain Marvel, Star-Lord, and Turk Barrett that they need to safeguard them from such calamities even if one of them is Thanos.[48]\nStephen Strange, M.D., PhD is a egotistical doctor who only cares about wealth from his career. The bones in his hands are shattered in a car accident, leading to extensive nerve damage. His hands tremble uncontrollably rendering him unable to perform surgery. Too vain to accept a teaching job, Strange desperately searches for a way to restore the motor function in his hands.\nAfter exhausting his funds, Strange becomes a drifter. Depressed and still searching, Strange, happens to overhear two sailors discussing a hermit called the Ancient One (who is actually the Earth's Sorcerer Supreme) in the Himalayas, who can cure any ailment. Strange, nearly broke, seeks out the aged mystic. The Ancient One refuses to help Strange due to his arrogance, but senses a good side that he attempts to bring to the surface. He fails, but Strange's heroism appears when he discovers the Ancient One's disciple, Baron Mordo, attempting to kill the old man. After a confrontation with Mordo leads to him being shackled with restraining spells preventing him from either attacking Mordo or warning the Ancient One, Strange desperately and selflessly accepts the Ancient One's offer to become his apprentice to have some hope of helping the old man. The Ancient One, pleased at Strange's sincere change of heart, accepts the westerner and promptly frees him from the restraining spells while explaining he was aware of Mordo's treachery all along. Strange soon becomes Mordo's most enduring enemy,[49] as the Ancient One teaches the doctor the mystic arts.[50] After completing his training, Strange returns to New York City and takes up residence within the Sanctum Sanctorum, a townhouse located in Greenwich Village, and is soon assisted by his personal assistant Wong.[51]\nAs the Ancient One's disciple, Strange encounters the entity Nightmare,[51] and other mystical foes before meeting Dormammu, a warlord from an alternate dimension called the \"Dark Dimension\". Strange is aided by a nameless girl, later called Clea,[52] who is eventually revealed to be Dormammu's niece.[53] When Strange helps a weakened Dormammu drive off the rampaging Mindless Ones and return them to their prison, he is allowed to leave unchallenged.[54] In The Unbelievable Gwenpool #3, Strange encounters Gwendolyn Poole, who explains herself to be from a reality where all Marvel characters are fictional characters in comic books. As Strange helps her locate her home reality in order to create a fake background for her in the Marvel Universe so that she can get a Social Security number, driver's license and other essential documents, he discovers that Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast to play him in Gwen's universe, remarking that he \"could see that\".[55]\nDoctor Strange is a practicing magician who draws his powers from mystical entities such as Agamotto, Cyttorak, Ikonn, Oshtur, Raggadorr, and Watoomb, who lend their energies for spells.[56] Strange also wields mystical artifacts including the Cloak of Levitation which enables him to fly;[note 1] the Eye of Agamotto, an amulet whose light is used to negate evil magic;[50] the Book of the Vishanti, a grimoire which contains vast knowledge of white magic;[57][58]:26\u201327 and the Orb of Agamotto, a crystal ball which is used for clairvoyance.[58]:24\u201327[59]\nIn addition to his magical abilities, Strange is trained in several martial arts disciplines,[60] including Judo,[61] and has shown proficiency with numerous magically conjured weapons including swords and axes.[62] Strange was a skilled neurosurgeon before nerve damage impaired his hands.[50]\nDoctor Strange is described as \"the mightiest magician in the cosmos\"[63] and \"more powerful by far than any of your fellow humanoids\" by Eternity, the sentience of the Marvel Universe.[64] He holds the title of Sorcerer Supreme from 1973 (with the death of the Ancient One)[20] to the present, except during an interruption from 1992[65] to 1995.[66] He relinquishes the title once again in 2009,[36] but reclaims it in 2012 when he proves himself willing to protect the world even without the title.[40]\nArtifacts and technology\nThe Book of the Vishanti is portrayed as being written by unknown authors, is closely associated with Doctor Strange, and is the greatest known source of white magical knowledge on Earth. The Book of the Vishanti contains spells of defensive magic and is indestructible. Its counterpart, the Darkhold, contains all the knowledge of black magic in the Marvel Universe, and is likewise indestructible. It is possible to destroy single pages of either book, but the balancing spell in the other book is destroyed as well to maintain a mystical balance. A collective of the three powerful magical beings - Agamotto, Oshtur and Hoggoth, known as the Vishanti - must allow the spell to be destroyed.\nEven though the book is a tome of benevolent magic, the spells within can still be dangerous when used improperly. This is proven when a young, inexperienced Strange tried to use the Book of the Vishanti to resurrect his dead brother Victor, but the spell, known as the Vampiric Verses, caused Victor to become the vampire Baron Blood years later.\nApart from spells and mystical knowledge, the book also contains information about persons and events. It is unknown how the book is able to contain up to date and recent information even though it was written thousands of years ago.\nThe first known owner of the book was the Atlantean sorcerer Varnae from around 18,500 BC. The next known owner was the Babylonian god Marduk Kurios. Marduk set a griffin to guard the Book. The sorcerer known as the Ancient One traveled back in time to c. 4000 BC and defeated the griffin and returned to the 20th century. The Ancient One would remain the book's owner, despite a brief loss when the dark wizard Kaluu returned the Book to the Griffin, until he deemed his student, Doctor Strange, worthy of taking it.\nDoctor Strange keeps the book in his town house library in New York City's Greenwich Village. He briefly lost the book when he destroyed his home to prevent the alien wizard Urthona from taking his magical artifacts, but the book was saved by Agamotto, who transported it to his realm and returned it to Strange some time later.\nThe Orb of Agamotto is a powerful scrying crystal ball owned and used by Strange to detect magic in use anywhere in the world and provide Strange with a location and visual. The orb rests in Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum in a room called the Chamber of Shadows. It usually is inside a display case with three curved legs. When summoned, the glass covering rises and the ball levitates. While powerful, the Orb has been blocked by exceptionally powerful mystic forces (such as Umar) who do not want their exact location known. On at least one occasion, it has been used to open a dimensional portal to the realm of Agamotto.\nThe character has starred in several alternate universe titles. In the miniseries Marvel 1602 #1-#8 (November 2003 \u2013 June 2004), Sir Stephen Strange is both the court physician and magician to Queen Elizabeth I. The title Spider-Man 2099 introduced a female version of Strange who shares her body with a demon in issue #33 (1995). The miniseries Strange #1-#6 (November 2004 \u2013 April 2005), written by J. Michael Straczynski and Samm Barnes, with artwork by Brandon Peterson, reimagined the character's origin, allies and enemies in a contemporary setting.\nIn the miniseries Marvel Zombies #1-#5 (February \u2013 June 2006), Strange is infected with a zombie virus along with many other heroes. He reappears in the second sequel, Marvel Zombies 3 #1-#4 (December 2008 \u2013 March 2009)\nIn the alternate future universe of the Marvel imprint MC2, Doctor Strange is no longer the Sorcerer Supreme, the title there held by Doc Magnus. Doctor Strange uses his remaining power to reform the superhero team the Defenders in A-Next #3 (1998) and to fight the Norse god of mischief, Loki, Last Hero Standing #4 (February 2005).\nThe Ultimate Marvel title Ultimate Marvel Team-Up introduced a version of the character called \"Stephen Strange, Jr.\", the son of the original Doctor Strange, in Ultimate Marvel Team-Up #12 (July 2002). The character was killed in battle by the Ultimate Marvel version of Dormammu in the miniseries Ultimatum #1-#5 (January\u2013September 2009).\nTwo months before the debut of the sorcerer-hero Doctor Strange, Stan Lee (editor and story-plotter), Robert Bernstein (scripter, under the pseudonym \"R. Berns\"), and Jack Kirby (artist) introduced a criminal scientist and Ph.D. with the same surname (called \"Carl Strange\"). Making his sole appearance in the Iron Man story \"The Stronghold of Dr. Strange\" in Tales of Suspense #41 (1963), the character gained mental powers in a freak lightning strike.[67]\nDoctor Strange as seen in Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994).\nDr. Strange appeared in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, voiced by John Stephenson.

In Uncanny Avengers #6 Baron Mordo is described as deceased but details of his death are not given.\nOutside of comics the Baron Mordo character has appeared in the Spider-Man: The Animated Series and The Super Hero Squad Show cartoon series.

They first appeared as the Defenders in Marvel Feature #1 (Dec. 1971).\nThe group had a rotating line-up from 1972 until 1986, with Dr. Strange and the Hulk being usually constant members along with a number of other mainstays such as Valkyrie, Nighthawk, Hellcat, Gargoyle, Beast, the Son of Satan and Luke Cage, and a large number of temporary members. The publication was retitled near the end of the run as The New Defenders but featured none of the original members and only Valkyrie, the Beast and the Gargoyle of the former long-term members. The concept was modified in the 1993\u201395 series Secret Defenders, in which Dr. Strange assembled different teams for each individual mission. The original team was reunited in a short-lived 2001 series by Kurt Busiek and Erik Larsen. In 2005 Marvel published a five-issue miniseries featuring the classic line-up by J.M. DeMatteis, Keith Giffen and Kevin Maguire. In December 2011 writer Matt Fraction and artist Terry Dodson launched a Defenders series with a mixture of classic and new members, which lasted for 12 issues.\nA TV miniseries titled The Defenders premiered in 2017 on Netflix, with the team consisting of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.\nDoctor Strange is a 2016 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

Robert Cargill, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character, along with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Michael Stuhlbarg, Benjamin Bratt, Scott Adkins, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda Swinton. In the film, former surgeon Stephen Strange learns the mystic arts after a career-ending car accident.\nVarious incarnations of a Doctor Strange film adaptation had been in development since the mid-1980s, until Paramount Pictures acquired the film rights in April 2005 on behalf of Marvel Studios. Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer were brought on board in June 2010 to write a screenplay. In June 2014, Derrickson was hired to direct and re-write the film with Spaihts. Cumberbatch was chosen for the eponymous role in December 2014, necessitating a schedule change to work around his other commitments. This gave Derrickson time to work on the script himself, for which he brought Cargill on to help. The film began principal photography in November 2015 in Nepal, before moving to the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, and concluding in New York City in April 2016.\nDoctor Strange had its world premiere in Hong Kong on October 13, 2016, and was released in the United States on November 4, 2016, in 3D and IMAX 3D.

Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, it first appeared in \"The Origin of Dr. Strange\", an eight-page story in Strange Tales #115 (December 1963).

        "raw_content": "Euro-orphan\nEuro-orphan or EU orphan [1] is a neologism used metaphorically to describe a \"social orphan\" in the European Union whose parents have migrated to another member state, typically for economic reasons. The child is left behind, often in the care of older relatives. The expression itself is a misnomer, since it is meant to describe temporary child abandonment, rather than the death of both parents. A similar name is White Orphans.[2]\nSuch abandoned children may require therapeutic or psychiatric care to cope.[3] The EU supports family reunification.[4] Migrating families are sometimes divided by local child services (Jugendamt).[5] The number of Euro-orphans in the EU is estimated to be between 0.5-1 million, more Euro-orphans live outside the EU, e.g. in Ukraine.[6]\n\u0141ukasz Krzy\u017canowski has coined a similar term, \"old euro-orphans\", describing elderly parents left behind by migrants.[7]\n\"Euroorphans \u2013 the children left behind\" - documentary by Sven Bergman\n\"I am Kuba\" - documentary by \u00c5se Svenheim Drivenes\nAnne White, Polish Families and Migration Since EU Accession, 2017 [8]\nDead mother complex\nMigrations from Poland since EU accession\nTransnational child protection\nList of European Union member states by average wage\nLeft-behind children in China\n^ Romania, the EU orphans\n^ White Orphans, the enlargement's children\n^ Nowak, M; Gaweda, A; Janas-Kozik, M (2012). \"[The Euro-orphans phenomenon and the courses in therapeutic work and psychiatric treatment--a case study]\".

In many cases, these children are taken care of by relatives, usually by grandparents or family friends, who remain in the rural regions. These children are often categorized as left-behind given that the rural regions they reside in often lack social and economic infrastructures that are more readily available and accessible in urban areas.Many of these children face developmental and emotional challenges as a result of the limited interaction with their biological parents. As of 2017, there are approximately 69 million children left behind in their rural hometowns. The lack of infrastructure and parental support have led to a host of additional challenges for left-behind children like quality education, physical well-being, and healthy social relationships.Owing to the country's hukou (household registration) system, Chinese left-behind children are confronted with issues regarding public school enrollment. As problems concerning education have multiplied, some cities have implemented a school enrollment point system, which hampers chances of migrant and left-behind children to acquire the learning they need. Combined with China's \u201cpoint system for household registration,\u201d a host of complications for migrant parents and left-behind children have been created.\nAn orphan (from the Greek: \u03bf\u03c1\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u03cc\u03c2, translit. orphan\u00f3s) is someone whose parents have died, are unknown, or have permanently abandoned them.In common usage, only a child who has lost both parents due to death is called an orphan. When referring to animals, only the mother's condition is usually relevant (i.e. if the female parent has gone, the offspring is an orphan, regardless of the father's condition).\nSocial orphan is a term in various foreign languages, such as Ukrainian, denoting that a child has no adults looking after it, even though one or more parents are still alive. Usually the parents are alcoholics, drug abusers, or simply are not interested in the child. It is therefore not the same as an orphan, who has no living parents.\nThe Convention on the Rights of the Child has brought many countries to reassess their mandate to care for children inside their borders thus bringing to light various new ways of thinking about international child care.",

        "raw_content": "RIO DE JANEIRO: Haitian Migrants Crowd into Brazil Shelter as Trafficking Worsens\nHaitian migrants crowd into a shelter in Brasileia, Acre state, Brazil, August, 2013. Photo by Jo\u00e3o Paulo Charleaux, Conectas.\nBy Paula Daibert on August 30, 2013\u2014\n\u201cHaitian migrants are coming to Brazil in growing numbers without entry papers and are crowding into an Amazon shelter in dire conditions, prompting a human rights group to call on the Brazilian government to address a worsening regional problem.\nMore than 830 people, mostly from Haiti, are living in the border town of Brasileia, in the northwestern state of Acre, in a shelter built to house 200, according to human rights watchdog Conectas. About 40 new people are arriving every day.\nThe space has just 10 toilets, eight showers and no way to treat raw sewage in a region where temperatures can reach 40 degrees Celsius. A local hospital official said 90 percent of patients from the shelter have diarrhoea.\n\u201cIt is inhuman. Haitians spend the night piled up, one on top of the other,\u201d said Jo\u00e3o Paulo Charleaux, communications coordinator at Conectas, who visited the shelter.\nBrasileia, located near Brazil\u2019s western border with Peru and Bolivia, is a gateway for Haitian immigrants who arrive without visas due to bureaucratic problems in Port-au-Prince. They pay smugglers and fly from Haiti to Ecuador, before crossing Peru overland to reach Brasileia.\nBrazil\u2019s Ministry of Justice said federal police issue them with local documents, which can take less than 72 hours, and then the migrants look for jobs or wait until companies hire them and fly them to other parts of Brazil while their federal humanitarian visa application is processed.\nIn 2012, Brazil approved a humanitarian visa policy for Haitians, two years after the earthquake on their island left many in dire poverty.\nConectas is calling for the government to improve conditions at the Brasileia shelter and to find a longer-term solution to the problem.\nEsdras Hector, a 29-year-old Haitian who came to Brazil without papers in 2011 and lived in another temporary shelter in Acre, said the conditions were appalling. He works on a dam project in Mato Grosso state, but often visits the area where he first arrived, including Brasileia.\n\u201cThe local government doesn\u2019t have the facilities to receive Haitian migrants \u2013 Acre is one of the poorest states in Brazil. The area where people sleep floods when it rains and it\u2019s hard to understand why they put people in a place with such poor hygiene,\u201d he told Thomson Reuters Foundation.\nHector urged Haitians not to enter the country illegally.\n\u201cBrazil opened its doors after the 2010 earthquake, but before that we had social, economic and political difficulties (in Haiti). My town, for example, was almost completely destroyed three times by hurricanes. Still, I would like to tell people not to come to Brazil without papers, even if it takes longer at the embassy. The suffering you have to go through along the way isn\u2019t worth it,\u201d he said.\nDuval Fernandes, a geography professor at Pontificia Catholic University of Minas Gerais, said immigrants use smugglers to enter Brazil because getting a visa from the Brazilian embassy in Haiti is so difficult.\n\u201cThey give up to $4,000 to smugglers, paying the debt off after they get a job in Brazil. The demand for a humanitarian visa outstrips the embassy\u2019s capacity,\u201d Fernandes told Thomson Reuters Foundation.\nAlthough authorities have speeded up the visa process, this has not eased the overcrowding at the shelter.\n\u201cSome Haitians would rather stay in the shelter in terrible conditions but with some food and a place to sleep. They don\u2019t speak the language and it is especially difficult for women to find jobs,\u201d added Fernandes.\nWhile there are large construction projects in many parts of Brazil, including dams in the northern region, the demand for workers is not as high as in 2011, he added.\nNilson Mour\u00e3o, Acre state\u2019s secretary for human rights, said he supports federal intervention at the state-run shelter but is not in favour of expanding its capacity. Instead, he wants to see the federal government improve visa processing for Haitians before they come to Brazil.\n\u201cIt is safer, cheaper and doesn\u2019t encourage them to take the illegal route, which is dominated by smugglers,\u201d he told Thomson Reuters Foundation.\nAbout 10 percent of Haitians live abroad. Between 2010 and July this year, Brazil granted 6,281 visas to Haitians who arrived without permanent residency. An additional 2,586 people were issued a permanent visa at Brazilian consulates in Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador, according to Brazil\u2019s Institute of Migrations and Human Rights.\nREGIONAL PROBLEM\nThe humanitarian problem stretches beyond Brazil\u2019s borders.\n\u201cWe know of cases of extortion by Peruvian authorities to let migrants through, which favours the smuggling industry. Brazilian embassies in those countries should issue more humanitarian visas as well,\u201d said Fernandes.\nConectas has requested that the United Nations send independent rapporteurs to monitor the situation and has asked the Organisation of American States to hold a regional meeting.\nBrazil has taken some steps to address the problem. Its Foreign Ministry hosted a meeting of officials from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Haiti, Peru and Dominican Republic on May 15 to discuss the rise in trafficking and the exploitation of Haitian immigrants.\nThe government also announced in April it would further expand its permanent visa programme for Haitian nationals. However, the foreign minister did not respond to an inquiry for an update on its progress.\nConectas said that since April the Haitian population in the shelter has exploded as fewer people are leaving.\n\u201cThe little structure it had is lost and the situation is out of control,\u201d said Charleaux.\nSome academics are advocating improvements to Brazil\u2019s immigration laws and a focus on integrating immigrants into society, in addition to granting more humanitarian visas.\n\u201cOur legislation is from the 1980s, when we had a dictatorship in place and immigrants were seen as a threat to national security. We have an immigration bill pending in Congress since 2009,\u201d said Fernandes.\nDeisy Ventura, professor of foreign relations at the University of Sao Paulo, added that the Brazilian government should take a broader approach to immigration. \u201cBrazil shouldn\u2019t act as a fire-fighter, but instead build integration policies as an architect.\u201d\u201d\nPosted in Human Trafficking, Human Trafficking Awareness\nPAMPANGA: \u201cInternational Justice Mission\u201d Helps Rescue Three Girls from Cybersex Den in Residential Neighborhood\nCOLUMBIA: Child Victims of Sexual Crimes During Armed Conflict Increase",

        "raw_content": "One of the most unique audiovisual collections in the United States resides in the Special Collections Library at the University of Maryland (UMD). The archives of Mass Media & Culture (MMC), which is dedicated to preserving the history of American broadcasting, has well over 100,000 audiovisual materials on a wide variety of formats dating back to 1925. These materials contain noncommercial and commercial programs from both radio and television, comprising a significant trove of primary sources that document our nation\u2019s history and culture. Until 2010, most of these collections were hidden from public discovery due in part to staffing shortages, lack of processing standards for AV materials, inability to maintain proper legacy equipment and scant funding for digitization. In the last six years, however, MMC has made great strides in overcoming these challenges. Nearly 10,000 items have been digitized, and the first-ever audiovisual finding aids will soon make their debut on the Libraries\u2019 new public interface. These achievements are the result of collaborative workflow integration across multiple units within the libraries, as well as ongoing partnerships forged with National Public Radio (NPR), the American Archive for Public Broadcasting (AAPB) and the recently-formed Radio Preservation Task Force (RPTF) which operates under the auspices of the Library of Congress. In this presentation, I will highlight the creative and innovative approaches developed by UMD Libraries to improve preservation and access, share some audio examples from our digital collections and discuss our ongoing mission to demonstrate modern, practical models for managing audiovisual materials.\nAudiovisual Archivist & Curator, University of Maryland\nLaura Schnitker is an audiovisual archivist and curator of the Mass Media & Culture unit in Special Collections & University Archives at the University of Maryland.

        "raw_content": "Judicial Appointments: Why Is It Still Eluding Solutions?\nIn a recent confrontation between the Centre and the judiciary, the Chief Justice of India T.S. Thakur criticized the actions of the Centre over the matter of appointments of judges in the higher judiciary and for trying to bring the entire judiciary to a grinding halt. After the NJAC law was struck down by the Supreme Court, it again asked the Government to come up with a Memorandum of Procedure in consultation with the Chief Justice of India for selection of judges. It has also been said that the government wants to achieve through the Memorandum of Procedure what it could not with NJAC.\nHowever, several issues have erupted since then between the both the parties due to which no consensus has been reached so far. Some of the reasons are illustrated as follows:\nAccording to the Supreme Court, delays on the part of the government in clearing appointments to the higher judiciary are not being given enough attention.\nPoor litigants and under trial prisoners suffer the most because of judicial delay. There has to be a significant initiative to increase the strength of the subordinate judiciary.\nThere are approximately 478 out of 1079 vacancies which are yet to be filled for High Court judges. This constitutes about 44.3% of the total sanctioned strength of the High Courts. Even after almost two years, judicial appointments have yet been in a gridlock.\nOne of the biggest problems is the issue of \u201cjudicial dynasties\u201d or collegium which prefers to appoint relatives, friends, former colleagues and juniors. There is a deep concern over this issue because it strikes at the very essence of merit and transparency in judicial appointments.\nIn order to ensure national interest, Government wants to have the power to reject recommendations from collegium, whereas the judiciary opposes such a veto clause. This clause on right to reject a recommendation is opposite to the current practice where the Government is bound to accept a recommendation by the collegium comprising four senior most judges of the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice of India if it reiterates the same. Therefore, the Supreme Court collegium returned the draft of the revised Memorandum of Procedure to the Government.\nThe Centre and the judiciary need to collaborate on finding practical solutions like:\nAppointing more judges on vacant seats.\nIncluding retired judges as ad hoc judicial officers based on periodic need assessment and deploying judicial resources efficiently.\nIn order to ensure transparency, fairness and accountability, the need is to adopt a system of evaluation to screen all candidates whose names are proposed for selection.\nThe criteria for selection should be more detailed and it should not only rest on seniority of the judges. The appointments are still out of the purview of RTI Act.\nThe proceedings so far till now only show that there is no sincerity of purpose from either side i.e. executive or judiciary. Both need to iron out their differences in order to ensure smooth running of the system.\nPrevious postTowards directly elected and empowered mayors\nNext postHardship of Indians in the Gulf",

        "raw_content": "1. Drowning in dust: dealing with extreme weather\nDust-storms, thunderstorms, and lightning at many places in northern, central and eastern India killed as many as 100 people in 1 day.\nWhile the weather events are common around this time of the year, the number of causalities was unusually high in the current storm.\nRainstorms and dust-storms arise from similar meteorological conditions.\nThey are almost always preceded (caused) by a spell of intense heat \u2013 the affected areas indeed had heat-wave like conditions lately.\nThunderstorms or hail occur when the atmosphere has moisture, and dust-storms occur when moisture is absent.\nIndian Meteorological Department (IMD) routinely issues alerts and the current weather events too, had been predicted, and warnings were issued.\nThe Factors \u2013 Such storms occur due deviation from the normal temperature difference (locally) between the upper and lower atmosphere.\nMoist easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal reached up to Himachal Pradesh, which was also receiving dry winds from the north-westerly direction.\nThese two systems destabilised the equilibrium between the upper and lower layers of atmosphere \u2013 making it conducive for the thunderstorm.\nThe final trigger, however, is the development of a large scale air-circulation system that developed over Rajasthan a couple of days earlier.\nWhy so many death?\nWhile it seems odd, a large number of deaths over a few days have been reported earlier too, like in the June 2016 lightening \u2013 which killed over 300.\nNotably, lightning is the biggest killer in India among natural calamities and accounted for as much as 2641 causalities in 2015.\nNevertheless, the recent storm was unusually catastrophic because it occurred over a large area over a short span of time.\nIn most cases, storms (like lightening) do not kill by themselves\u2013 but they trigger incidents that result in deaths.\nWalls or homes collapse, and people are electrocuted after power lines snap, or after they are caught in fields filled with water.\nHow useful are the predictions?\nPeople in the poorest, most densely populated areas are the most vulnerable.\nAlso, while meteorological predictions are for broad geographical areas and timeframes, events are however localised both in time and space.\nIt is not yet possible to predict a thunderstorm or lightning at a precise location \u2014 say a village or a part of a city.\nAs the exact times these events will hit can\u2019t be predicted, alerts and warnings usually merely telling people to expect these events, and to take precautions.\n2. Why it makes sense for India and China to cooperate on Iran\u2019s Chabahar project\nPost-sanctions, the development of the Chabahar port reflects Iranian quest for multilateralism, and China by default is an important player in the Iranian scheme of things.\nChina is one of the few countries which never severed its ties with Iran. In fact, it had played a crucial role in bringing Iran to the diplomatic table to negotiate the P5+1 nuclear deal.\nA recent World Bank report estimates substantial acceleration in Iran\u2019s GDP growth rate (6.4%) in the year 2016 due to lifting of sanctions.\nThis rebound is poised, if all goes well after the U.S. action, to get further impetus from Iran\u2019s participation in China\u2019s connectivity projects.\nChina was also one of the countries that maintained steady trade relations with Iran even during the sanctions era. In fact, trade figures rose from $4 billion in 2003 to $53 billion in 2013.\nA large chunk of China-Iran trade is petroleum-based products. China is the largest importer of Iranian oil.\nIran, with its massive infrastructural needs, sees China as its most valued partner and Beijing has been investing in Iran in crucial sectors like railways.\nChinese investments in Iran are part and parcel of its ambitious $1 trillion Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).\nApart from their economic rationale, these investments are also a means to generate political confidence/acceptability for a China-centric world order.\nIran perceives the BRI as a project that would make it an indispensable transit hub for countries like China, India and Russia and an effective antidote to the U.S. sanctions.\nIran\u2019s premium geographical location (as a bridge between Persian Gulf and Central Asia) along with a relatively stable political architecture makes it a central player for China\u2019s BRI.\nAfter the 1979 revolution, Tehran has been dependent on Beijing for meeting its defence requirements. China has supplied Iran with surface-to-air missiles and has also trained Iranian nuclear scientists.\nChina, being permanent member of the Security Council with veto power, could be of great strategic help for Iran when it comes to vetoing any proposal against Iran in the United Nations.\nA parallel, China-dominated global order suits Iran more than the U.S.-centric world order.\nIndia\u2019s policy options\nFor India, to be an influential player in the region, economics and politics should complement and not substitute each other.\nIndia will have to capitalise upon the existing synergies.\nIn collaboration with countries like Japan, India should offer favourable terms of trade in the region vis-\u00e0-vis China.\nTo consolidate its strategic depth in the region, India should focus on initiatives like frequent joint naval exercises in the Persian Gulf.\nIran, on the other hand, would do well by maintaining a fine balance between the elephant and the dragon.\nSome form of Chinese participation in the Chabahar project would be helpful for the future of the project, especially if the terms and conditions are clearly specified.\nIndia and China are exploring joint economic projects in Afghanistan; they can surely also extend this engagement to the Chabahar.\n3. Deal breaker: on the U.S.\u2019 withdrawal from the Iran deal\nIn 2015, Iran agreed a long-term deal on its nuclear programme with the P5+1 group of world powers \u2013 the US, UK, France, China, Russia and Germany.\n( Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. )\nUnder the agreement, Iran agreed to eliminate its stockpile of medium-enriched uranium, cut its stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98%, and reduce by about two-thirds the number of its gas centrifuges for 13 years.\nFor the next 15 years, Iran will only enrich uranium up to 3.67%.\nIran also agreed not to build any new heavy-water facilities for the same period of time.\nUranium-enrichment activities will be limited to a single facility using first-generation centrifuges for 10 years.\nOther facilities will be converted to avoid proliferation risks. To monitor and verify Iran\u2019s compliance with the agreement, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will have regular access to all Iranian nuclear facilities.\nThe agreement provides that in return for verifiably abiding by its commitments, Iran will receive relief from U.S., European Union, and United Nations Security Council nuclear-related economic sanctions.\nWhy US cannot decide independently on the deal?\nThe nuclear deal was reached among seven entities, including the U.S., Russia, Germany and Iran.\nAny unilateral move to withdraw from the agreement would hurt American interests as European countries are keen on expanding economic ties with Iran.\nBy law, the US administration is required to notify Congress every 90 days whether Iran is living up to the deal, and no decision can be made by the US administration alone.\nIndia could face the impact of the U.S. decision on the deal as well as instituting the \u201chighest level of economic sanctions\u201d in several ways:\nIran is presently India\u2019s third biggest supplier (after Iraq and Saudi Arabia), and any increase in prices will hit both inflation levels as well as the Indian Rupee\nNon-oil trade with Iran may not be impacted as much\n2. Chabahar\nIndia\u2019s moves over the last few years to develop berths at the Shahid Beheshti port in Chabahar was a key part of its plans to circumvent Pakistan\u2019s blocks on trade with Afghanistan\nThe new U.S. sanctions could slow or even bring those plans to a halt depending on how strictly they are implemented\n3. INSTC\nIndia has been a founder of the International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC) since it was ratified in 2002\nIt starts from Iran and aims to cut right across Central Asia to Russia over a 7,200-km multi-mode network\nPlans for INSTC sped up after the JCPOA was signed in 2015 and sanctions on Iran were lifted\nNew U.S. sanctions will affect these plans immediately\n4. Shanghai Cooperation Organisation\nIndia joined the SCO along with Pakistan last year, and both will be formally admitted in June 201\nThis year, Chinese officials say they will consider inducting Iran into the 8-member Eurasian security organization\nIf the proposal is accepted by the SCO which is led by China and Russia, India will become a member of a bloc that will be seen as anti-American\nIt will also run counter to some of the government\u2019s other initiatives, for eg. the Indo-Pacific quadrilateral with the U.S., Australia, and Japan\nThe move may also rile other adversaries of Iran, like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Israel\n5. Rules-based order\nIndia has long been a proponent of a \u201crules-based order\u201d that depends on multilateral consensus and an adherence to commitments made by countries on the international stage\nBy walking out of the JCPOA that was signed by the Obama administration, the U.S. government has overturned the precept that such international agreements are made by \u201cStates\u201d not just with prevailing governments or regimes\nThis could also impact all agreements India is negotiating both bilaterally and multilaterally with the U.S., and the government will have to choose its future course factoring in the new U.S. behavior\nNew Delhi will have to consider a new understanding of its ties with Washington in this context, and some of this understanding may be built during the first \u201c2+2\u201d dialogue between Foreign and Defence Ministers of both countries to be scheduled in the next few weeks in Washington\n4. Only 20% of Clean Ganga Mission funds spent till March\nOnly about a fifth of the Rs. 20,000 crore allotted for the National Clean Ganga Mission (NCGM) has been utilised till March 2018\nThat is roughly the same proportion of the sanctioned money utilised the same time last year\nAmid complaints that the government\u2019s marquee Ganga-cleaning exercise was dawdling, Union Water Resources Ministry had romised(in 2017) a \u201cvisible change\u201d in the Ganga water quality by 2019\nFinancial account from the NCGM\nIt says that as of March 2018, Rs. 20,601 crore had been sanctioned for 193 projects. So far, only Rs. 4,254 crore had actually been spent on their implementation\nAbout half the money, or Rs. 2,814 crore, had been spent on establishing sewage infrastructure\nAbout 12,000 MLD of sewage is emptied into the Ganga across 11 States, from Uttarakhand to West Bengal\nAt present, the capacity for sewage treatment is just 4,000 MLD; of this, 1,000 MLD is functional\nAlso, till date, only 24 of the 65 \u2018entry-level\u2019 projects had been completed\nThese \u2018entry level\u2019 projects are meant for cleaning the ghats and establishing new ones and cleaning the river front and the river surface\nThey had been allotted Rs. 492 crore\nMain source of pollutants\nThough the industrial pollution, volume-wise, accounts for about 20%, its toxic and non-biodegradable nature has a disproportionate impact\nThe industrial pollutants largely emanate from tanneries in Kanpur and distilleries, paper mills and sugar mills in the Kosi, Ramganga and Kali river catchments\nThe municipal sewage, at a billion litres a day, accounts for 80% of the pollution load\n5. Dirty socks, algae behind Taj Mahal discolouration, ASI tells Supreme Court\nUnwashed socks worn by visitors and rampant algae seem to turn the Taj Mahal from its natural white to yellow, brown and green, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) said to Supreme Court\nIt was not possible to distribute socks to all visitors. Many went wearing their own socks.\nNot convinced with argument it asked the ASI how algae managed to reach the top parts of the mausoleum where patches of discolouration were seen.\nThe court said the problem was not with algae but the fact that the ASI was unwilling to accept that they were not doing enough to conserve the monument.\nThe dumping of waste in the Yamuna led to the stagnation of the river and the consequent \u201cexplosive breeding\u201d of the insect, which is a \u201cbiological indicator of water quality and localised water pollution.\u201d\n6. Eighteen to sixty-four\nEighteen to sixty-four should be the age range of the working population factored into policy, since enrolment in senior secondary school is rising.",

        "raw_content": "Friday, June 22, 2012 Chris Charles Events, Models, Pageant Contestants 1\nBack in 1993, the band I was in at the time, was booked to play a weekend at a club in Lakeport, California, which is about a two hour drive north of San Francisco. While I was up there, I caught a poster advertising the Lakeport Revival Classic Car Show (now defunct), which included a bikini contest, at the Lake County Fairgrounds. Me, being a fan of classic cars and an even bigger fan of bikini contests, decided to go check it out and I made sure to bring my camera along. (35mm, this was the pre-digital age.)\nMost of the contestants were from Northern California (Santa Rosa, Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, etc.) and were obviously professional or semi-professional models, with one notable exception, who gave away her amateur status with her less-than-perfect posture. I don\u2019t remember who won, or even the names of any contestants, but \u201cStars and Stripes Girl\u201d here, was the show-stealer who got the biggest response from the crowd once she dropped her white blazer to show her patriotism.\nAs I look at these photos now, I notice there doesn\u2019t seem to be any real differences between the hair and fashion styles of these ladies vs. those whom would be competing in such contests today. However, I can point out the absence of tattoos and piercings (visible ones, anyway) on these ladies vs. the inked and body jewelry-laden bodies you\u2019d be likely to see in bikini contests these days.\nIf you are one of the ladies pictured here and would like to give me some more information on yourself or would be interested in an interview here, please contact me.\nAt left is the one local girl in the contest who obviously wasn\u2019t a professional model. Pretty\ngirl, but you could tell from her posture and lack of a tan that she wasn\u2019t a professional\nmodel. When all the girls were lined up on stage, you could see that she sort of stood\nout from the other contestants such as \u201cGlitter Girl\u201d at right.\nI don\u2019t remember it, but this girl had an really ethnic Italian name. During her brief\ninterview, she told a story about how some guy once ran his bike into a light pole\nbecause he was watching her instead of the road.\nThis girl didn\u2019t have have quite as much up top as the rest of the entrants,\nbut she made up for it by the way she moved.\nNot sure I liked the way she had her hair it trimmed in the back. It would\u2019ve\nlooked better tapered. The way she had it cut made it look like a broom.\nThis lady was 33 at the time. I wonder how she looks now at 52.\nThe captain\u2019s hat made and interesting touch.\nDon\u2019t think the black shoes went well with this girl\u2019s yellow bikini,\nbut I guess nobody paid much attention to her shoes.\nYou can see the \u201cslingshot\u201d suits were popular back then.\nOf course, not every girl can wear one like this.\nDon\u2019t really remember anything about this contestant. Not to say she wasn\u2019t\nmemorable \u2026.just given the group she was with, she didn\u2019t stand out.\nOh yes, and there were cars there too \u2026.\nGinny You\nSunday, June 9, 2013 Chris Charles Hooters Girls, Interviews, Models 0\nSunday, May 24, 2015 Chris Charles Interviews 0\nSaturday, June 9, 2012 Chris Charles Actresses, Singers and Musicians 6\nbikini swimwear says:\nlovely blog you have! \ud83d\ude42",

        "raw_content": "Tattoo Bans: The Spoken and Unspoken Rules\nAmericans sporting visible tattoos often deal with unwanted judgments and lingering looks from strangers. At work, during job interviews, or even when just meeting new people, we may find ourselves covering up our ink to avoid unfounded judgments about our character based onlooks alone. Although some tattooed Americans may find themselves covering up, there are no laws in the United States banning tattoos. Though some workplaces and schools may not allow visible tattoos or other body modifications, Americans are mostly free to wear their tattoos proudly, with little more than minor inconveniences as a result. Americans cover up either due to an obligation to present a professional and conservative appearance, or because we simply would prefer to cover our tattoos than endure prying eyes and occasional unwanted conversations. Meanwhile, some countries actually have explicit legislation pertaining to the tattoo industry. Furthermore, many cultures consider tattoos so taboo that although they may in fact be widespread, it is uncommon for people to show them off in public. While Americans and other Western peoples may view tattoos as an emblem of individuality, other cultures consider them a more intimate artifact.\nTattoos in the United States still endure some negative associations with gangs, and more conservative folks may consider tattoos to be in bad taste, but as tattoos continue to enter the mainstream, these negative connotations hold less power. Unlike the United States however, the deviance associated with tattoos in countries like Japan and South Korea makes its way into explicit social rules and even bans barring artists from performing tattoos. Of course, regulations against unlicensed professionals and underage clients help ensure the safety of artists and customers alike, but Japan and South Korea ban artists from tattooing unless they acquire a medical license.\nLaws like this place the tattoo industry in precarious legal standing, as they place an immense burden on artists to achieve unnecessary education in order to tattoo legally. Otherwise, if they\u2019re caught without a medical license, artists could feasibly be charged with a crime. Still, tattoos themselves are not illegal. Additionally, as CNN notes, \u201cJapan -- unlike the United Kingdom and the United States, but not unlike China and South Korea -- has no licensing system for tattoo artists, or law to regulate the industry.\u201d That is, although the medical licensing law requires anyone piercing the skin with a needle to have a medical license, tattoos themselves are not regulated. Tattooing is considered a medical procedure and therefore only a licensed medical professional can legally perform them.\nHowever, tides may be changing for artists, as Kotaku recently reported that a possibly precedent-setting court case has overturned an Osaka tattoo artist\u2019s prior conviction for tattooing without a medical license. The new ruling argues that because tattoos are an art form, they are protected under the Japanese Constitution. This along with the imminent influx of Western tourists could help shift public opinion of tattoos.\nDespite long standing judgment of tattoos in places like Japan and South Korea, many express optimism that Japan\u2019s upcoming Summer Olympics in 2020 will loosen restrictions on tattoos. As foreign tourism in Japan grows, and in anticipation of a massive influx of foreign and possibly tattooed tourists, Japanese artists and tattoo devotees hope that in order to welcome customers, Japanese businesses will begin to abandon their tattoo bans.\nCountries that are overall considered to be more modest and culturally conservative, like South Korea, China, Japan, as well as Iran and the United Arab Emirates, regulate the public display of tattoos or the performing of tattoos. In these countries, tattoos are considered taboo.\nTattoos of course are an expression of individuality. Whether tattoos are performed in the recognizable American Traditional style, the time-consuming Irezumi method, or whether they represent an entirely new avenue for body art, they always represent the individuality of both the artist and their client. Cultures like those of the various countries that have imposed regulations on public presentation of tattoos and on artists themselves tend to discourage such proud individuality. Rather, they encourage conformity. Those with tattoos are ostracized and consequently banned from certain spaces or simply discouraged from revealing their skin. Regulating tattoos and artists themselves appears to be not just an attempt to encourage conformity, but more specifically a method for deterring behavior that focuses on the individual self rather than society overall; however, there is concrete hope that tattoos are gaining more widespread acceptance. As tattoos become more popular, it becomes increasingly difficult to demand that those with tattoos hide them from public view.\nhttps://www.cnn.com/2017/10/18/asia/tattoos-japan/index.html\nhttps://www.kotaku.com.au/2016/03/japans-problem-with-tattoos/\nhttps://kotaku.com/today-was-a-big-victory-for-japanese-tattooing-1830429896\nhttps://www.kotaku.com.au/2015/12/japan-is-trying-to-destroy-tattoos/",

        "raw_content": "LiveDeal Announces Financial Results for Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2013\nLAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 05/15/13 -- LiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE)\nGross margins improved by approximately 8.1% in first six months of fiscal 2013\nCompany makes several strategic investments to provide foundation for future growth\nWorking capital improves by $373,000 as current liabilities decrease by $420,000\nStockholders' equity increases by $408,000\nLiveDeal, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIVE), a provider of marketing solutions that boost customer awareness and merchant visibility on the Internet, announced today its financial results for the three- and six-month periods that ended on March 31, 2013. The Company's results included the following:\nNet revenues were $555,084 and $1,127,619 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to net revenues of $821,701 and $1,673,114, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012. Net revenues decreased primarily due to the decrease in revenues generated by legacy products and services that the Company has discontinued in connection with pursuing its new business strategy.\nCosts of services were 21.1% and 19.5% of net revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to costs of services of 27.6% of net revenues for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012. The decline in costs of services was primarily due to decreased costs associated with the decline in the number of our legacy customers and the provisioning of fulfillment services, which are now performed by the Company rather than outside vendors. Gross margins improved by approximately 6.5% and 8.1%, respectively, during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the Company's results in the prior year periods.\nGeneral and administrative expenses were $1,231,531 and $1,993,907 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to general and administrative expenses of $821,434 and $1,588,242 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012. General and administrative expenses increased in fiscal 2013 as a result of the Company investing in personnel for its new call center and making other strategic investments to provide a foundation for future growth as LiveDeal pursues its new business strategy and launches its new products and services.\nInterest expense was $2,541,141 and $3,291,695 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to interest expense of $40,612 and $84,556 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012. Substantially all of the interest expense incurred by the Company during fiscal 2013 was related to the issuance of convertible promissory notes by LiveDeal and subsequent conversion of those notes into shares of the Company's common stock. Such transactions resulted in interest expense under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but that was entirely a non-cash expense and did not require LiveDeal to make any actual interest payments under the notes.\nNet loss was $3,215,017 and $4,275,526 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013, respectively, as compared to net loss of $258,993 and $450,631 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012. Most of the Company's net loss in the fiscal 2013 periods was attributable to the non-cash interest expenses described above.\nAs a result of the Company's operating results and financing transactions during the six months ended March 31, 2013:\nCash and cash equivalents remained relatively stable at $1,297,275 as of March 31, 2013, as compared to $1,305,785 as of September 30, 2012.\nNet working capital improved to $743,694 as of March 31, 2013, as compared to $370,780 as of September 30, 2012, primarily because the Company's accounts payable decreased from $1,017,363 to $597,336.\nStockholders' equity increased to $3,237,245 as of March 31, 2013, as compared to $2,829,254 as of September 30, 2012.\n\"At LiveDeal, we are continuing to work hard to implement the Company's promising new business strategy. In light of that transition process and the significant investments we made to position the Company for future growth and success, we were pleased with our results for the period that ended on March 31, 2013,\" said Jon Isaac, LiveDeal's President and Chief Executive Officer.\nFor more information, refer to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that was filed earlier today with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available at www.sec.gov.\nLiveDeal, Inc. provides marketing solutions that boost customer awareness and merchant visibility on the Internet.

        "raw_content": "Hopes for PCOS cure as scientists reveal cause in mice\nDr Elizabeth Oliver\nPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may be due to a hormone imbalance before birth, research has revealed.\nThe disease may be triggered before birth by excessive exposure to anti-M\u03cbllerian hormone (AMH) in the womb, researchers found. They were then able to counter the symptoms of the syndrome in mice. A clinical trial to see if the treatment works in women will begin later this year.\nIn the study in Nature Medicine, Dr Paolo Giacobini at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm), and his team discovered that pregnant women with PCOS have 30 percent higher levels of AMH than usual. As the disease can be hereditary, the researchers then investigated whether the high levels of hormone could induce the same condition in female offspring.\nTo do this, scientists injected AMH into pregnant mice and found that their offspring developed symptoms which mirrored those observed in women with PCOS, including infrequent ovulation and delays in becoming pregnant. The authors surmised that the excess hormone resulted in overstimulation of a subset of neurons leading to increased levels of testosterone.\nUsing the IVF drug cetrorelix to control hormone levels, the researchers were able to reverse the induced symptoms of PCOS in mice. By the end of the year, the team hopes to trial cetrorelix for women with PCOS.\n'It could be an attractive strategy to restore ovulation and eventually increase the pregnancy rate in these women,' said Dr Giacobini.\nPCOS is estimated to affect between 8 and 20 percent of women. Symptoms of the condition include high levels of testosterone resulting in excessive hair growth and acne, and irregular periods often leading to difficulties conceiving. Despite being a common disorder, the underlying cause has been poorly understood.\n'It's by far the most common hormonal condition affecting women of reproductive age, but it hasn't received a lot of attention,' Professor Robert Norman of the University of Adelaide in Australia, who was not involved in the study, told New Scientist.\nThe study presents 'a radical new way of thinking about polycystic ovary syndrome and opens up a whole range of opportunities for further investigation', he concluded.\nCause of polycystic ovary syndrome discovered at last\nNew Scientist | 14 May 2018\nElevated prenatal anti-M\u00fcllerian hormone reprograms the fetus and induces polycystic ovary syndrome in adulthood\nNature Medicine | 14 May 2018\nPolycystic ovary syndrome: Scientists closer to understanding cause\nBBC News | 15 May 2018\nWhat causes PCOS?

In case you didn't know why, it's because it's dangerous.\nA green laser got into the eye of a JetBlue pilot on Sunday night and caused an eye injury, according to NYC Aviation.\nThe plane was en route from Syracuse, NY to JFK Airport when the incident was reported. The plane landed without any problems.\nJetBlue has not divulged the seriousness of the injury to the pilot and have just called it \"minor.\" But, obviously, any eye injury while piloting a plane is not a positive thing.\nThere are also major fines for people that are caught shining pointers into planes. They start at $11,000 and can even lead to jail time.\nSo, um, don't do it.\nPhoto Credit: Pylon757 via flickr",

        "raw_content": "Today I sent a project status report. Shortly afterward, I received an e-mail informing me that while I had reported a task as complete, it wasn\u2019t actually complete. The manager wanted to know where I got my information, and I let them know I heard it on the status call. The manager then informed me via an e-mail cc\u2019ing the world (OK not really, but when you are being criticized, it can feel that way) that I should get information from a reliable source, and the manager named a few. It just so happened one of those \u201creliable sources\u201d was the person who told me the task was complete. Graciously, that person stepped up, responded to the e-mail, and said that she was mistaken and had passed the bad information on to me. The manager then sent me an e-mail berating this \u201creliable source\u201d for passing on bad information. While the task was not done, it would still be done on time.\nI\u2019m not trying to gain sympathy (but if you are offering, I\u2019ll take it), but what I thought this might help me illustrate is the forward focus concept taught in Making Managers into Leaders. Oftentimes leaders waste their time trying to determine what went wrong when a better focus would be to how to fix the situation. In my scenario, the solution would be to get a corrected status report.\nThe book discusses effective questions. Instead of asking \u201cwho told you that,\u201d and \u201cwhy aren\u2019t you using reliable sources,\u201d the questions should begin with \u201chow\u201d and \u201cwhat\u201d: \u201cHow do you populate the task completion information on the status report?\u201d This doesn\u2019t sound like an attack. If we were concerned about errors in the future, the question could be, \u201cHow could we tweak the process to help prevent incorrect information from appearing on status reports?\u201d This question sounds like the leader is willing to work with the team towards the best solution.\nI would encourage you to ask \u201chow\u201d and \u201cwhat\u201d questions when you are trying to understand an issue and to ensure that you are focused on finding the solution versus placing blame. You will find much greater success on your projects.\neffective communication, leader, leadership\nFail Forward \u2192\n5 thoughts on \u201cFinger-Pointing\u201d\nGreat story. Great tips! I will use the \u201cHow\u201d and \u201cWhy\u201d thoughts\u2026that makes so much sense!\nThanks for the encouraging words. A point of clarification though, \u201chow\u201d and \u201cwhat.\u201d When we ask \u201cwhy\u201d of our teams (or children, or spouse, etc) they tend to move to the defensive. They are less apt to give the information you want or problem solve with you. \u201cWhy did you do this?\u201d or \u201cWhat events led up to you choosing this course of action?\u201d\nSean Bozorgzad\nWay to go for taking the high road. That is what a leader does.\nYou are capble, effective and very good at what you do.\nThank you Dr Sean. I have found leadership is a journey and each project teaches me something new!",

Ever been called a name? It hurts more when it comes from a family member or from someone you thought liked you. It doesn\u2019t even have to be a name your called. When we feel we have to judge someone on how they look or what they say, that can hurt too. So, be very careful what you say. Another old saying goes. Think before you speak.\n\u201cDeath and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.\u201d\nAbraham Lincoln said, \u201cIt is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.\u201d\nThere\u2019s something about speaking out the positive and speaking out the Victory in JESUS Name. If your speaking out the negative, don\u2019t be surprised when negative things happen in your life. Things in your home, your work, your marriage, your relationships.\nAs we speak out the things of GOD, don\u2019t use that 3 letter word after you claim the things of the LORD. That word is \u201cBUT\u201d. I\u2019m not getting sick \u201cBUT\u201d. I\u2019m not gonna get depressed \u201cBUT\u201d. I\u2019m gonna get that job \u201cBUT\u201d. I\u2019m gonna claim the Victory \u201cBUT\u201d. We should be super confident in what the Word of GOD says and Pray it and Believe it. The Bible is full of the Truth.\nIt says that by HIS stripes we are healed. Healed in everything in our lives. That\u2019s physical, spiritual, financial, mentally. Healed from any addictions. Healed from our past. We also are forgiven from our sins. We are loved by the creator of all things. We are gonna live forever with JESUS. HE\u2019S preparing a mansion for us now. HE is right there at the mention of HIS Name. HE will never leave us nor forsake us. HE died and rose again so we can live forever in Heaven with HIM. Read the book it\u2019s all in there and it\u2019s all true. JESUS don\u2019t lie. If HE said it, it will happen. Don\u2019t ever be afraid to speak it\nWe need to read and study the WORD so we can speak it out to the enemy when we get tempted. Study and memorize the scriptures that will help you speak it to the enemy when he tempts you. He will continue to tempt you. He knows what our weaknesses are and he\u2019ll use that to tempt us.

        "raw_content": "Tell Me - Louise Turner\nI\u2019ve never met Louise but I follow her archeology blog because she\u2019s always got something interesting going on. I\u2019m pleased to hear about how she used her work and love of history to come up with her debut novel, Fire and Sword (Amazon US, Amazon UK).\nFirst of all, a big \u2018thank you\u2019 to Jennifer Brozek for her invitation! Deciding what to write has been quite a challenge: I wondered at first if I should talk about why I actually write historical fiction, when my background as a reader and a writer is grounded firmly in science fiction and fantasy. But I\u2019ve decided instead to focus more closely on the plot of my debut novel, Fire & Sword (published by Hadley Rille Books) and the research which underpins it.\nHistory is littered with drama and intrigue, undertaken by a plethora of sometimes quite unsavoury individuals. And yet I chose to write my novel about a relatively unknown individual who is hardly mentioned in the national story. Why I took this difficult path and the work involved in pursuing it is what I\u2019d like to talk about today.\nI live in Renfrewshire, just west of Glasgow. When I started writing Fire and Sword, it seemed practical to write a story set close to home, mainly because I was unemployed at the time and the wealth of on-line archival resources that we have now was unheard of.\nThe local history books were full of inconsequential details along the lines of, \u201cSee those Semples? They were dodgy characters, always feuding. See those Montgomeries? They were a right bad crowd, always feuding.\u201d After wading through page after page of this kind of stuff, I must admit I found myself wondering how I\u2019d ever find something worth writing about.\nThen something caught my eye. A brief passage, referring to John, 1st Lord Sempill. I can\u2019t remember the exact wording, but it went somewhere along the lines of, \u2018His father Sir Thomas Sempill died defending the King at the Battle of Sauchieburn in June, 1488, and a year later John was made 1st Lord Sempill.\u2019\nNow, King James III was murdered after Sauchieburn, which meant that John Sempill\u2019s father was killed while fighting on the losing side. This meant that his son and heir, John, was back in favour with his successor James IV just a year later.\nI was intrigued. I continued my research, and learned that the constant feuding was invariably an aggrieved response to specific political events. By weaving together the national picture with the local historical accounts, I unearthed a story which was very interesting indeed, but much was inference and supposition. As a historian or an archaeologist, I couldn\u2019t take the next step which linked all this together.\nBut as a novelist, I could.\nThe facts formed a rigid framework around which I had to build a story, but everything else depended on the characters. The process of creating characters who seemed realistic and compelling and true to their time was another major challenge. With some individuals, including John, I didn\u2019t even know their date of birth. Some major detective work ensued. How many siblings did they have? Who were their closest relatives? What did they achieve in their lives? Who did their children marry?\nIn John\u2019s case, he was the only son in a family which included at least three girls. While his father was clearly allied politically with the Cunninghame clan, John became increasingly linked with their local rivals, the Montgomeries. The Montgomeries and the Cunninghames were at each others\u2019 throats in nearby Ayrshire. But during John\u2019s life, while he was Sheriff of Renfrew, these same two families maintained a peaceful co-existence.\nI like to think that John, 1st Lord Sempill was ahead of his time. While most of his contemporaries were happy to feud and burn, John was a builder, a supporter of the arts. His legacy includes one of the few privately funded collegiate churches to be built in the west of Scotland, a site which still can be visited today. He was, in effect, a true Renaissance man.\nEven the most accomplished of historians can\u2019t give John much of a voice or an identity. With just a scattering of charters to his name, his was a fleeting presence in a world dominated by much louder, more strident personalities.\nBut a novelist can take a leap of inference, and travel to places that the historian or archaeologist can only dream of. And what an adventure it has been, trying to accomplish this in a manner which is entertaining to the reader, while remaining plausible and convincing and sympathetic to the facts!\nLouise Turner\u2019s debut novel Fire and Sword is set in late 15th century Scotland and has recently been published by Hadley Rille Books.

        "raw_content": "Luddite PM wrong to try to delay Liddell power station closure\nGreens NSW energy spokesperson Jeremy Buckingham today labelled the Prime Minister a Luddite and wrong after Mr Turnbull revealed that the federal government was attempting to persuade AGL to keep the Liddell coal-fired power station in the Hunter Valley open for another five years after its scheduled closure date of 2022.\n\u201cLiddell power station is one of the oldest in the country. It\u2019s age means it does not provide the reliable electricity the Prime Minister says he wants to achieve. This is about ideology and internal Liberal Party politics, not a coherent energy policy,\u201d said Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham.\n\u201cToday\u2019s AEMO Report makes it clear that the answer to our energy problems is large scale investment in renewable energy with storage. Only a luddite could read that report and want to prop up an unreliable 50 year old coal-fired power station. The NSW Government should make it clear to the Prime Minister that this is not a sensible strategy.\n\u201cIt is tragic that the lack of direction and coherent policy from the federal government is causing power prices to rise and investment uncertainty in Australia at the very moment when technological advancement and global climate policies are driving a clean energy revolution.\n\u201cAGL and the other major energy companies have made it very clear they do not want to invest in coal-fired power and want a stable policy environment that allows them to make the transformation to renewable energy and storage. AGL has been building its public reputation on the impending closure of Liddell power station.\n\u201cThis push to keep an ancient coal-fired power station going demonstrates that the Liberal Party is far behind the experts, the regulators, the energy companies, and public opinion when it comes to energy policy.\n\u201cThe science of climate change means we must rapidly phase out coal from our energy mix. In Australia, this means closing an average of one coal-fired power station every year.\n\u201cAustralian governments should be working together to implement a strategy for an orderly transition from coal, but instead we have a weak Prime Minister trying to demonstrate his fealty to the Luddites and climate science deniers in his own party, and the fossil fuel lobby.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Home/Legislative Advocacy /New Federal Bill Seeks to Quell Criticism of Israeli Policy\nJewish Voice for Peace strongly opposes the latest legislative effort to discourage the growing movement for justice and equality for Palestinians. The Combatting BDS Act of 2016 (S. 2531/H.R. 4514), introduced February 10, 2016, aims to encourage and authorize legislation at the state level to divest state funds from companies that boycott Israel.\nJewish Voice for Peace 11 February 2016\tLegislative Advocacy/Press Release\nContact: Naomi Dann | Jewish Voice for Peace | media@jvp.org | (845) 377-5745\nFebruary 11, 2016\u2013Jewish Voice for Peace strongly opposes the latest legislative effort to discourage the growing movement for justice and equality for Palestinians. The Combatting BDS Act of 2016 (S. 2531/H.R. 4514), introduced February 10, 2016, aims to encourage and authorize state legislation to divest state funds from companies that boycott Israel.\nRabbi Joseph Berman, Jewish Voice for Peace Government Affairs Liaison stated: \u201cThis legislation, as well as the bills introduced at the state level, are an attempt to stifle shifting public opinion, which increasingly sees economic pressure as a legitimate and even essential way to end Israel\u2019s oppressive policies towards Palestinians.\u201d A Brookings Institute poll released in December 2015 found that 49% of Democrats (and over \u2153 of all Americans) support imposing economic sanctions or more serious action against Israel over settlement construction.\nAt a time when the largest Israeli opposition party and columnists such as the New York Times\u2019 Thomas Friedman are naming the reality that the peace process is dead and the two-state solution rendered inviable due to Israel\u2019s continued expansionism, such legislation is deeply out of touch with the current political reality.\nThe Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS) originated in 2005 with a call for solidarity from Palestinian civil society organizations asking the international community to use the tools of economic pressure to hold Israel accountable for its obligations under international law, namely: an end to the nearly 50-year military occupation, full equality for Palestinians citizens of Israel and the right of return for refugees. Modeled on the global solidarity movement to end apartheid in South Africa, BDS\u2019 intent is to leverage grassroots power to put pressure on governments and corporations that uphold an unjust political system.\nThe right to boycott is a constitutionally-protected form of political speech with a legacy of bringing about social change. Writing in Salon in reference to a related bill in the New York State legislature, Jewish Voice for Peace Executive Director Rebecca Vilkomerson recently noted: \u201cBoycott has long been a tool of social movements: used by abolitionists to protest slavery, by civil rights activists to demand an end to segregation during the 1960s, by labor organizers to demand collective rights for farmworkers, and by global civil society to call for an end to apartheid in South Africa. It is an especially important tactic when, as in the case of Israel, people are acting when our government will not.\u201d\nFurthermore, the text of the legislation defines boycott of Israel as \u201cany activity that is intended to penalize, inflict economic harm on, or otherwise limit commercial relations with Israel or persons doing business in Israel or in Israeli-controlled territories.\u201d This language, along with similar legislation introduced over the last year, is part of a quiet campaign to legitimize and extend U.S. protection to Israel\u2019s illegal settlement enterprise by blurring the legal distinction between Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. This would reverse decades of U.S. policy which holds that the settlements are illegitimate and illegal.\nJust as the Israeli Knesset is currently considering new bills to clamp down on political dissent, the rise in anti-BDS legislation also demonstrates that the defenders of the status quo know that they cannot justify indefinite occupation and systematic discrimination, and are instead desperately trying to silence critical voices. In addition to the Combatting BDS Act of 2016, related legislation has been introduced in Indiana, Virginia, New York, Colorado, California, Arizona, and Georgia. These anti-democratic bills, supported by Jewish organizations including the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago (JUF) and the American Jewish Committee (AJC), demonstrate the failure of Jewish establishment organizations to recognize the urgent need for change in Israel.\nThis legislation is a move in the wrong direction. Rather than attempting to prevent consumers and companies from acting on their values, U.S. lawmakers would do better to leverage the power they have to pressure Israel to abide by international law.",

He was already a well-known software engineer, consultant, and internationalization guru. As a recently minted college graduate, I adopted Bill as my mentor. Like many mentors, Bill probably never knew this. And yet, he mentored me for more than 16 years in this globalization industry. He is the one, the only one, that I thought knew all there is to know.\nBill Hall could laugh until tears came to his eyes, and he could look at you and freeze a moment with you as if you were the only person in the world that mattered. Later in his life, his eyes would water for no good reason, except that maybe he was just getting older, and allergies or maybe just life itself had squeezed most of Bill out.\nWhen Bill wasn\u2019t talking about internationalization or piloting, he always spoke of his wife and children. I met his wife Ewa and one of his children, Kasia. They and my own wife toured around Tokyo one year long ago while Bill and I spoke at a conference or just happened to be in Tokyo together. I suppose the event doesn\u2019t really matter; it was a long time ago. Kasia must be a junior or senior in college now\u2026.wow, time flies.\nJust today, I received an email from Kasia, a personal email telling me that her father had died. I\u2019ve since discovered that many others in the internationalization and globalization industry have received a similar but different email or notification from Kasia. At least a dozen other people that I know received those personal emails that said something that only Bill and you would know, something that Bill shared with you, and I got one of those from Kasia. After the initial shock of learning of his death, I couldn\u2019t help but smile. Kasia had sent out an email to me, just to me, and it was personal, and I realized that his dear daughter had inherited Bill\u2019s way of reaching out to people one on one, making them feel as if you were the only person in the world that mattered.\nThanks, Bill for your friendship, for your knowledge, and for what you\u2019ve given our industry. We already miss you.\nhttp://www.legacy.com/obituaries/mercurynews/obituary.aspx?pid=158762823\nReactions as Another Aspect of Social Media",

        "raw_content": "In 1982, the Target Store company had a failing Entertainment Division.\nTarget had taken the bold step of setting itself for a direct buying relationship with it\u2019s entertainment software vendors (music, movies) for the advantage of more margin.\nIn fear of the business they would lose, the music rack jobbers and distributors placed enormous pressure on the major music labels to position a pricing grid for the different functions of music retailing which would eliminate Target\u2019s direct buying cost advantages. The goal buy the rack jobbers was to discourage Target from its quest for autonomy and the elimination of the \u201cmiddle man\u201d.\nMy services were acquired as eventually Director of marketing and Operations for the entertainment division in January 1983. At the time the division serviced Target\u2019s 300+ stores doing about $150 million in divisional sales. The potential of losing 6-7% of those gross sales, due to the pricing grids requested from the record labels by the rack jobbers and distributors, was a major issue for Target. Without those margin points, Target may very well have scrapped it\u2019s in-house distribution division.\nA Plan for a New Corporate Direction\nMy first objective was to convince Target senior management that they could not simply throw their purchasing weight around as they could with so many other vendors. One look at the music trade sheets and you could see that CBS Records (now Sony Music) held about a 40% share of the most current hits. Telling CBS that we would not buy Michael Jackson\u2019s album, Thriller, anymore would have been folly. We needed the labels more than they needed us!\nMy second objective was to meet with all of the label heads and establish a true identity for Target\u2019s business and what the future business with Target could mean to the them. It took 3-4 months of negotiations and convincing the labels that it was truly in their best interests to give us the same pricing that the middle man was given. I gave many presentations to the record company presidents that included Target\u2019s merchandising prowess and its advertising and marketing attack on everything including music. In May of 1983 CBS Records and all other labels agreed to the pricing we needed and from that point on our division produced more than $40 million in profits above Target\u2019s prior 5 year history of the division.\nSuccess Stories \u2013 Stores Large and Small\nWith respects to humility, I\u2019ve had many success stories for my 47 years of retailing from fortune 500 companies to a single owner/operator video and tanning outlet in Rice lake Wisconsin. That store, Video Plus and Celebrity Tan, was badly in need of a makeover in 2006. For the last 2 years we have guided their marketing and general operational approach. Their business is up more than 40% from their 2006 numbers and they\u2019re now highly profitable.\nThe ability to redirect a company\u2019s strategy and attitudes is the rare gift of combining operational responsibility background, Human Resources involvements and marketing savvy with keen common sense and excellent communications skills. This has given me a heightened instinct in determining a client\u2019s real issues and their solutions.\nMore than 4 decades of retail store management and marketing experience provides your company with a teacher, leader and developer of profitable solutions.",

        "raw_content": "\u690d\u7269\u6027\u30b9\u30c6\u30ed\u30fc\u30eb\nPlan Sterols are natural botanical compounds. They assist in modulating inflammation and may encourage ideal immune response.** In addition, plant sterols may:\nFoster cardiovascular health.**\nSupport normal cholesterol levels.**\nEnhance healthy circulation.**\nPlant sterols are botanically derived compounds that share similarities with cholesterol in their molecular structure. The most prevalent plant sterols in an average diet are beta-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol, Significant natural sources of these nutrients include vegetables and nuts, as well as varieties of fruit. Hundreds of years ago, these compounds were more common in the eating habits of most humans, but the increased presence of processed foods over the decades had led to lesser intake of plant sterols. Today, spreads, oils and salad dressings are often fortified with plant sterols to help raise intake.**\nScientific investigations have shown that plant sterols aid in limiting cholesterol absorption in the digestive tract, in part by boosting the liver\u2019s production of bile. This results in lower levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein), also known as \"bad cholesterol,\" in the circulatory system. Further studies have indicated that these natural compounds promote overall cardiovascular wellness, including circulation, largely due to their role in reducing LDL cholesterol.**\nThe FDA has approved two heart health claims for plant sterols. The first states: \u201cFoods containing at least 0.65 g per serving of plant sterol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1.3 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of [name of the food] supplies ___grams of vegetable oil sterol esters.\u201d A second FDA-approved claim states: \u201cFoods containing at least 1.7 g per serving of plant stanol esters, eaten twice a day with meals for a total daily intake of at least 3.4 g, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of [name of the food] supplies ___grams of plant stanol esters.\u201d\nResearch has additionally found that plant sterols appear to modulate inflammatory responses and assist in regulating the immune system. The compounds have also been investigated for possible beneficial effects on prostate and urinary tract health, suggesting potential for other wellness applications.**\nPlant Sterols Supplements\nPlant sterol supplement products are often available as capsules, softgels and tablets or in powder form. Supplements are sometimes sold solely as beta-sitosterol or in a plant sterols complex. These botanical nutrients can also be found added to butter, margarine, oils, salad dressings and other food products.**\nPlant Sterols Directions for Use\nPrior to supplemental use of plant sterols or any routine supplementation, seek advice from your health care professional. Capsules, tablets and softgels are regularly offered in a wide range of doses from 100 to 1,200 mg. However, it should be noted that the FDA only stands by its approved plant sterol cardiovascular health claims when plant sterol dosage is 2+ grams per day.**",

        "raw_content": "November 24, 2017 July 7, 2018 John Simpson death, limits of knowledge\nI said before (Death 1) that death is something Christians have claimed far too much certainty about. Whatever we might claim to know, and on whatever grounds, we just do not know what it\u2019s like to die because we haven\u2019t done it yet. (Do not challenge that too quickly; part of what I am assuming is that death comes once and is permanent [Hebrews 9:27], and anything that is otherwise is something else. So, if you think you\u2019ve been there, I\u2019m assuming that, at the most, you had a brief and hazy look.)\nHow did death start? That\u2019s another thing we can say more about than we know. Death happened before there were humans (all those fossils), so we cannot say in any simple, literal sense that there was no death till after humans sinned. Science has taken that away from theology. Whatever we might try to say about the relation between the first sin and the fact that people die on the basis of Genesis 3 and Romans 5, one thing is certain: that first sin quickly made killers out of humans (Genesis 4:8). There\u2019s a certainty.\nAnother certainty about death from the Bible is that it is not as overwhelmingly significant as it seems. Death can be a metaphor for the now-normal human state of alienation from God (Romans 8:6; Ephesians 2:1) and for the eternal state of those who remain in that alienation (Revelation 20:14), and the metaphor surpasses the literal. Physical death is of less significance, we are promised and warned, than continuing in that metaphorical \u201cdeath,\u201d in, that is, alienation from God (Romans 8:10; Matthew 10:28). And, by extension, suffering, life\u2019s reminders of death, is likewise relativized (Romans 8:18). Trying to figure out what Genesis 3 says about death may be a way of giving death more credit than it has coming to it. The relativization of death in the face of eternity is part of what we bring along when we read Genesis 3 within our knowledge of what else is in the Bible.\nThat \u201cdeath\u201d metaphor becomes most powerful in the face of life \u2014 life, that is, at its liveliest, this side of that first sin. Truth, here, is in the hands of the despairing. The liveliness of life so often comes down to the despairing attempt to escape the pulling of the divided self or the perpetual embarrassment of those who are like the emperor in the tale, but in reverse: clothed but feeling naked. Here I\u2019m thinking back to my post on Nakedness. Havel\u2019s story about the weather reporter, quoted there, could go on to how that embarrassing experience might have continued for that lady. If she is like some of us, she laughs about it now. But she may also be like those who can feel stuck there, inflating how foolish others think she is and how inept the experience proves she is.\nSo, with nakedness and death and whatnot, we can have a stack of metaphors, all for the odd place where we are now, after the Fall, outside Eden \u2014 all more acutely felt when the liveliness / busyness slows down. \u201cSince I walked through that puddle, my shoes don\u2019t fit. They feel like they\u2019re somebody else\u2019s.\u201d \u201cI keep running into something in my heart (or head) that feels like eternity, and I can\u2019t figure out how it got there. It certainly doesn\u2019t fit with what else is there\u201d (Ecclesiastes 3:11).\n\u2190 Red and Blue",

        "raw_content": "Posted on July 26, 2009 by Justin Lafferty in Uncategorized\nNo, not the death of this blog, which is (somewhat) still alive and kickin\u2019.\nI\u2019m talking about the actual kind. I\u2019ve been at the Tracy Press for six months now (I know, that flew by. Shouldn\u2019t I still be trying to crash a rhetoric course right now?) and my career as a news reporter has involved much more death and destruction than my previous life as a sports guy.\nWhen I cover a loss in sports, there\u2019s a winner. When I cover stories like this, there are no winners. A young man has lost his life. A mother has lost her son. A community has lost a loved member.\nAnd here I am, feeling like a schmuck, asking family members for interviews, knowing it\u2019s got to be done. Trust me, this isn\u2019t something I enjoy. Neither is this, or this or this. In the same way I can feel for a player who just knocked a big home run or the whiplashed pitcher, I feel for the victims of these stories. I don\u2019t ask to talk to these people as a way to drudge up bad memories, causing fights or making their situations worse. This is just what I\u2019m called to do.\nThe story about Danny Ruf, the Tracy man in training to join the Marines, was tough because well\u2026 we\u2019re the same age. He graduated in 2005, I graduated in 2004. We\u2019re both 22. Youth lends itself to a sense of invincibility. I don\u2019t think much about my own death because in my own consciousness, it\u2019s still decades and decades away. If you ask me today, I\u2019m going to die an old man with my children and loved ones at my side, having secured a few Sportswriter of the Year awards and maybe even a Pulitzer. We\u2019re taught that as young people, the future is the only real currency we have.\nThis was probably the part of the job I was least prepared for. I consider myself, for all intents and purposes, a nice guy. I know that after something tragic happens, the last person these people want to talk to is probably me. I feel like a pest most times, but I\u2019m getting better at putting those feelings aside and covering these things in the most humane yet newsworthy way possible. Trust me, I know what people think of reporters. Many times, I feel the same way too.\nMost news stories, I can handle. Rash of harmless (to people, anyway) fires? Got it. Coverage of a community event? No biggie. Talking to widows and parents who just lost their child? I\u2019m still working on this. I laugh when I think that I used to fret about going over to a losing coach. Getting drubbed by four touchdowns seems like nothing now.\nTagged danny ruf, death, tracy press\nPrevious Post We talkin\u2019 bout practice\nNext Post A-Tweet-ion spans\nOne thought on \u201cDeath\u201d\nDeath is something. Danny\u2019s was way too soon, and I appreciate the words you wrote. Most of us don\u2019t dare think of when we die, or how we\u2019ll die. We know it lies ahead, yet we think out of sight, out of mind. I do not believe it was Danny\u2019s intention to leave us this way. He honestly thought he\u2019d leave Tracy as a Marine, instead he has left us all permantly in a way he never dreamed. I hope he will be remembered for the man he was prior to his death. A kind, caring, loving, and warm hearted individual who always had a smile on his face. May he be at peace with God in heaven.",

Even today, I could tell you more about Henry VIII\u2019s six wives than I could most U.S. presidents.\nSo when I discovered Regency historical romances written by numerous authors (most notably Georgette Heyer, Barbara Cartland, and of course, Miss Jane Austen), it was a match made in\u2026well, made in the library and the local bookstore, at least! I read perhaps a thousand or so and then decided to try my hand at writing one. The results so far are Choosing Will and An Arranged Valentine. I also have a sensual Regency short story featured in the 2016 holiday anthology from LARA (Los Angeles Romance Authors).

I\u2019d love to be able to talk about today\u2019s great thing and tell you all to run out and see it. Unfortunately, it\u2019s probably already left the theatres in The States (where I believe it was released in the late summer) and it\u2019s already been out here in the UK for a couple of weeks.\nWell, screw it, I\u2019m still going to tell you to run out and see it. After all, it\u2019s not every day that you get to see Marky Mark in a comedy role. If it\u2019s still playing, go go go! If it\u2019s on DVD by now get some people around and pop some popcorn.\n151. The Other Guys\nHere are some reasons to go and see this blockbuster, if you haven\u2019t already:\n1. Adam McKay rarely disappoints. Some facts for you comedy fans out there: He\u2019s one of the founders of The Upright Citizens Brigrade (the famous improv troupe/school that has spawned many successful comic performers\u2013putting it on the same level as The Groundlings and Second City.) Speaking of Second City, McKay studied with Del Close. If improv was a religion, and to some it is, Del Close would at least be an important prophet if not the messiah. Studying improv with Del Close is like studying handsomeness with Brad Pitt. They\u2019re both experts at their craft. McKay is also the co-creator of Funny or Die. You\u2019ve seen \u201cThe Landlord\u201d sketch on funnyordie.com haven\u2019t you? It features his adorable daughter Pearl and comedy partner Ferrell. Here\u2019s a funnyordie.com clip promoting The Other Guys. Ferrell plays his character Allen Gamble in a faux NYPD recruitment video:\nMcKay is six-foot five. That\u2019s tall! Let\u2019s rank Adam McKay movies, shall we? In order of preference, I\u2019d go with: 1. Stepbrothers, 2. The Other Guys, 3. Anchorman, 4. Talladega Nights\n2. Mark Wahlberg is an unexpected delight. But, that\u2019s not entirely surprising, I suppose, for a McKay/Ferrell project. They\u2019ve successfully turned other actors (who are known more for dramatic roles) into hot comedy commodities. Look at John C. Reilly. Prior to Talladega Nights I only ever saw him in the blue-collar/heart of gold/rough of face type of role. Now, I think he\u2019s hilarious! McKay and Ferrell perform similar wizardry with Wahlberg. I actually LIKE him as an actor now. Before, I thought he was sort of an entitled little wannabe who kept getting lucky with good reviews for his film work. Now, he\u2019s cool in my book. Thanks The Other Guys! Hating one less person in the world is actually quite a relief.\nHere\u2019s a quote from an interview featured at collider.com (collider) which highlights a reason this most recent comedy pairing works so well:\nFerrell: You know, I think we had a big read through for Sony and Mark, like, killed it. I thought I was really bad and I was just like \u201cOh my god, Mark is so funny.\u201d There was just something about writing stuff in his voice that made us laugh so hard just how serious he was and we were like \u201cLook at you. Why do you do that?\u201d and we were just like \u201cOh. We can\u2019t take it \u201c. It was probably in those first couple of read throughs and then my kind of earnestness and like \u201cI disagree with you\u201d you know? I made a point and I kept telling Adam and Chris that we have to make sure that \u201cMark\u2019s a tough guy. Will\u2019s the nerdy guy. Like, I have to have a toughness also. Even though I\u2019m an eccentric weirdo, I have to have to be confident enough to push him back.\u201d Once we started putting that in the script, it was great. By rehearsal it was just like \u201cI cannot wait to shoot this scene\u201d. There were just times where he is just looking at me and I can\u2019t look at him. Whether it\u2019s the slow burn or when he gets pissed, it just made us laugh.\nHere\u2019s a perfect clip to illustrate what Ferrell is blathering on about here:\n3. Eva Mendes is hot. It\u2019s really easy, it seems, to completely ignore the female supporting roles in male-dominated comedies\u2026but McKay usually does a pretty good job of giving them SOMETHING to work with. They\u2019re never just completely JUST the \u2018straight romantic counterpart\u2019. For instance, I think Christina Applegate holds her own with the fraternity of awesome buffoons in Anchorman. In Stepbrothers, both Mary Steenburgen and Kathryn Hahn are memorable. Talladega Nights has Jane Lynch. Jane Lynch!\nThis actually isn't much of a stretch...I see hot girls with dopey looking boyfriends all the time.\n4. The supporting cast. Steve Coogan, legendary British comedy icon, unfortunately, is not used to great effect. However, Michael Keaton is a highlight. There\u2019s a running gag about TLC songs that gets better each time it calls back. Likewise, Dwaye Johnson (the Rock), and Samuel Jackson pop in to make with the funny.\nMy only caveat is this\u2026please watch this film with a large group of people. Unless you\u2019re reading a book, things are always funnier in groups. When it comes to comedy audiences, size DOES matter. Laughter is infectious and the more people laughing around you, the better\u2026\nFiled under comedy, Movies\nTagged as Adam McKay, Eva Mendes, Mark Wahlberg, Steve Coogan, The Other Guys, Will Ferrell",

        "raw_content": "A Child Asleep\nA Curse For A Nation\nA Man's Requirements\nA Thought For A Lonely Death-Bed\nA Woman's Shortcomings\nA Year's Spinning\n''At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.''\nThe themes Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote about\nElizabeth Barrett Browning was one of the most prominent poets of the Victorian era. Her poetry was widely popular in both England and the United States during her lifetime. A collection of her last poems was published by her husband, Robert Browning, shortly after her death.\nSome of Barrett's family had lived in Jamaica for several centuries. The main wealth of Barrett's household derived from Edward Barrett (1734\u20131798), landowner of 10,000 acres (40 km2) in Cinnamon Hill, Cornwall, Cambridge, and Oxford estates in northern Jamaica. Barrett Browning's maternal grandfather owned sugar plantations, mills, glassworks and ships that traded between Jamaica and Newcastle. Biographer Julia Markus stated that the poet \u2018believed that she had African blood through her grandfather Charles Moulton\u2019. There is no evidence to suggest her line of the Barrett family had any African ancestry, although other branches did, through the children of plantation owners and slaves. What the family believed to be their genealogy over several hundred years in the West Indies, is unclear.\nThe family wished to hand down their name as well as their wealth, stipulating that Barrett should be held as a surname. In some cases inheritance was given on the prerequisite that the name Barrett had to be used by the beneficiary. Given the strong tradition, Elizabeth used 'Elizabeth Barrett Moulton Barrett' on legal documents and before she was married often signed herself as 'Elizabeth Barrett Barrett', or \u2018EBB\u2019 (initials she was able to keep after her wedding). Elizabeth's father chose to raise his family in England while his fortune grew in Jamaica. The Graham Clarke family wealth, also derived in part from slave labour, was also considerable.\nElizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett was born on 6 March 1806, in Coxhoe Hall, between the villages of Coxhoe and Kelloe in County Durham, England. Her parents were Edward Barrett Moulton Barrett and Mary Graham Clarke; Elizabeth was the eldest of their 12 children (eight boys and four girls). All the children lived to adulthood except for one girl, who died at the age of three when Elizabeth was eight. The children in her family all had nicknames: Elizabeth's was \"Ba\". Elizabeth was baptized in 1809 at Kelloe Parish Church, though she had already been baptized by a family friend in the first week after she was born. Later that year, after the fifth child, Henrietta, was born, their father bought Hope End, a 500-acre (2.0 km2) estate near the Malvern Hills in Ledbury, Herefordshire, where Elizabeth spent her childhood. Her time at Hope End would inspire her in later life to write Aurora Leigh.\nShe was educated at home and attended lessons with her brothers' tutor. During the Hope End period, she was an intensely studious, precocious child. She writes that at six she was reading novels, at eight she was entranced by Pope's translations of Homer, studying Greek at ten and writing her own Homeric epic The Battle of Marathon. Her mother compiled early efforts of the child's poetry into collections of \"Poems by Elizabeth B. Barrett\". Her father called her the 'Poet Laureate of Hope End\u2019 and encouraged her work. The result is one of the largest collections of juvenilia of any English writer.\nOn her 14th birthday her father gave the gift of 50 printed copies of the epic. She went on to delight in reading Virgil in the original Latin, Shakespeare and Milton. By 1821 she had read Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), and she became a passionate supporter of Wollstonecraft's ideas. She watched her brothers go off to school knowing that there was no chance of that education for herself. The child's intellectual fascination with the classics and metaphysics was reflected in a religious intensity which she later described as \"not the deep persuasion of the mild Christian but the wild visions of an enthusiast\". The Barretts attended services at the nearest Dissenting chapel, and Edward was active in Bible and Missionary societies.\nElizabeth was very close to her siblings and had great respect for her father: she claimed that life was no fun without him, and her mother agreed.\n\u2190 Eliza Cook\nElizabeth Bentley \u2192",

Naturally as there was such a rush of interest about Arkham City, everyone was asking me about a third game, and frankly, I had been wondering about that myself. When I asked about the possibility of working on a third game I was told that as Rocksteady had just finished wrapping the second one, it would be a while before everyone was ready to sit down and discuss future plans. That said, it was intimated that for future games, Warner and Rocksteady might not be looking as much to freelance writers, the message being, that if I had something else interesting coming my way, I might want to take it.\nWhen I later read their subsequent announcements about the Harley Quinn's Revenge game expansion and the rumored Arkham prequel/JLA game, I figured they had filled their writer needs. I had long before taken WI's advice and booked my schedule with a number of other projects, leaving me unavailable to take on anything new until 2013. It was fun working with Warners and Rocksteady on the first two Arkham games and I am grateful to them both for a tremendous experience. Rocksteady has a great crew of artists and storytellers, and it was exciting and enlightening for me to be part of that team. If we wind up working together again at some point, that would be cool, too.",

        "raw_content": "< Leila Fanner / Alid Nail G\u00e9rboles >\nCamilo Calder\u00f3n is kind enough to answer a few questions about art and the Taller Trescientosuno, where he is the director and instructor. Camilo\u2019s resume includes being a graduate of the National University of Colombia. There he earned a degree in Fine Arts, specializing in both Painting and Art History. He has also taught drawing and painting for several years in art faculties like Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and Jorge Tadeo Lozano in Bogot\u00e1. [1]\nAgain, it is our honor to spend a few minutes with the artist Camilo Calder\u00f3n.\nWebsite: https://www.camilo-calderon.com/t\nThe artwork of Camilo Calder\u00f3n (click smaller tiles to enlarge)\nWell, my name is Camilo Calder\u00f3n, I\u2019m a visual artist from Colombia, currently based in Bogot\u00e1. I am a painter, a teacher and a compulsive reader.\nTo be honest, it was very intuitive. When I was a child I never had any contact with art or cultural environments in general. We never went to an art museum, or theater, or read literature with my family. I just loved to draw. That\u2019s it.\nSo when I went to art school, everything was a real discovery. But I fell in love immediately with that strange new world.\nActually, I feel a bit uncomfortable with the concept of \u201cstyle\u201d as a visual easily-recognizable identity for the artwork. \u201cStyle\u201d is a son of modernism and its hurry for individual identity, and I think that something like that is quite superficial and not very important.\nI believe more in the artist as someone who finds paths, or tools, or a \u201cdiagram\u201d as a set of them (in Deleuzian terms) to solve a question or a problem, and the final visual form as a result of that process.\nIf you compare, for example, Jasper Johns\u2019 \u201cTarget\u201d, \u201cFalse start\u201d and the Seasons series, it would be very hard to link them in a similar formal fashion, but you could recognize the same thought processes and concerns of the same author. The same happens with people like Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter or Keith Tyson, currently one of my favorite living artists.\nIn my case, I\u2019m actually even trying to avoid any sense of style, taking away all the weight of mark making and pretentiously expressive brushstrokes that I used in the past to allow the viewer to relate with the image with his/her own questions, interpretations and subjectivity without the filter of my personal \u201cexpressiveness\u201d.\nIn general, my main concerns deal with how we relate to and shape reality through representational processes. I think that art has a lot to do with that, and has the potentiality to question your assumptions, your habitual perceptions, and at the same time open a window to new ones.\nThere are some very conscious processes as well as more intuitive ones. Normally I read a lot about perceptual cognition, psychology, physics of visual phenomena, and a lot of things related to how we acquire knowledge of the world through perception and how we shape our sense of reality through conscious and unconscious processes of representation. Sometimes, some concept triggers an idea of something that I can explore visually through a painting, then I draw a very quick and raw sketch just to remember something that I could develop later.\nSome other times, suddenly an image comes to my mind in an unexpected, intuitive and unconscious mental synapsis and it invites me to investigate and explore that intuition. So, the creative process could go in both ways.\nFinally, sometimes I could also find an artwork, or simply any kind of image that inspires me to develop new reflections on that same subject matter. I believe a lot in learning and let us be guided by other people who walked before us.\nYou are currently the director and primary instructor at Taller Trescientosuno. How do you describe Taller Trescientosuno? Why did you decide to teach?\nVery soon I realized that art has a lot to do with learning, with gaining knowledge, some kind of particular knowledge about ourselves, the world or our living experience. On the other hand, I strongly believe that any knowledge we could have doesn\u2019t belong to ourselves, you received it from someone else and you have to share it with someone else too in the same way, so it was very natural to me from the first moment and I still enjoy it a lot.\nI\u2019ve been a college teacher for more than ten years, but I needed to create a place where I could teach art in the way that I feel is the best one, in the most efficient and encouraging and inspiring way, that\u2019s how I turned my personal studio into \u201cTaller Trescientosuno\u201d, a place to mainly learn how to draw and paint as a craft in a studio or \u201catelier\u201d environment, at another pace of learning and another kind of relationship between student and instructor.\nI think that art tends to be very, very underestimated anytime it\u2019s understood just as a decorative product or a status asset.\nI think that art has the power to link people, to help us to understand how we perceive and interpret the world, to learn through sensitive, intuitive, symbolic and analog paths that differ from the purely rational ones.\nI know it\u2019s a commonplace, but art is really what makes us human.\nYes, I have something in mind that excites me a lot. Right now I\u2019m organizing some notes, reflections, and material that I\u2019ve been developing the last few years and I want to post them as individual articles in my website\u2019s blog but that will configure a book in a \u2013 I hope \u2013 near future, and what I really want to do in a mid-term one is to develop a multidisciplinary project where we can explore creativity and art as a real way of cognition an as a tool to improve our daily lives.\nAs an instructor and artist, do you have any advice for the future generation of artists?\nWell, I\u2019m not sure at all if I am in the place to advise a whole new generation of people, but what I could say from my experience is that you can really believe in art as a plausible path, art can be learned by everyone since it deals with human capabilities that you just need to develop in the proper way, and you can live from art. You just need to really devote to learning the craft, but also to read, to question yourself, to grab inspiration from art itself, not by emulating some else\u2019s work or \u201cstyle\u201d but by going deeper in understanding what that person was trying to achieve, and finally to put all your intent and courage to do a work of the highest possible quality and trying to say or to show something really valuable and interesting to the world.\nThe world is filled, filled with images today, far more than ever, but just very few or they have the power to touch our souls.\nAll photographs by permission of Camilo Calder\u00f3n\n[1] https://www.camilo-calderon.com/new-page/\nTags: ArtArtistCamilo CalderonInterview\nNext story Chicks with Sticks: Awesome Female Drummers\nPrevious story The Princess Bride Fan Quiz",

        "title": "Delay in selecting ministers: good or bad? \u2013 Law and Other Things",
        "raw_content": "Delay in selecting ministers: good or bad?\nThis editorial in the Telegraph laments the fact that the formation of the council of ministers took twelve days:\nThis inordinate delay in forming a team that is supposed to present to the nation an effective government creates a very sorry spectacle of the prime minister and the Congress president. The delay can only be read as evidence of the lack of clarity in decision-making.\nI think the delay has been good for politics, and should be institutionalised. No one can argue that but for DMK tantrums, we would have had a council of ministers in place in 24 hours. The delay was hardly by deliberate design. But having been forced to stagger cabinet formation, albeit willy-nilly, the results are largely positive. These 12 days generated intense democratic debate on the merit of the individuals in contention, including on this blog. Until the election, everyone is too busy predicting who will win, and the shape of the next government is almost never discussed. Then we have the results and the cabinet the next day. There is no democratic opinion to inform the Prime Minister in his exercise of the prerogative. This time was different. The intense media focus on non-performers must at least in part be the reason why Arjun Singh, Shivraj Patil and HR Bhardwaj did not make it.\nThe US system gives the President-elect over two months to form their team, and every candidate is intensely scrutinised by the President as well as the media. We did well this time. The process of a staggered swearing in, with only the PM (and if we must, perhaps a few key and relatively uncontroversial Ministers) should be sworn in the day after the results, while the rest of the Cabinet must wait a while.\n[If my hypothesis that democratic debate had some impact on the shape of the cabinet is true, then lawyers seem to be popular with newspaper columnists. Nearly half of the new ministers seem to have law degrees.]\nUpdate: Dear Suresh, thanks very much for helpful comments. The title has been suitably amended. Here are my responses to your worries:\n1. I agree that unlike in the US, we don\u2019t have a system of direct legislative confirmation of ministers. The problem at hand is one of democratic control over exercise of (a fairly important) executive power. Sure, legislatures in some countries are mandated to exercise this control. But even there, they do not do so exclusively. Civil society and media perform the same task, only differently. In fact, absence of direct legislative supervision in India only strengthens my argument that at least media and civil society must have an opportunity to comment and criticise the candidates. This is certainly not an argument against also considering legislative controls (although pragmatic concerns around constitutional amendment may make it less feasible).\n2. By institutionalisation, I only meant institutionalisation as a constitutional convention. Here is a good precedent being set (although the criterion of the mental state of being obliged to follow it is not satisfied in the current case), and has some good reasons in its favour. Future PMs must take it seriously, and in the process, lay the foundations of a convention. In circumstances like 1991, the convention will be flexible enough to accomodate exceptional urgency. But as a rule, I think it is healthy for a democracy to allow civil society a week or so to debate the shape of the council of ministers. And if that reduces the possibility of incompetent ministers (for, unlike legislative confirmation hearings, civil society/media criticisms cannot be determinative), the extra week spent will pay itself many times over in the next five years.\n3. Yes, this will help only with a strong civil society. But as you yourself note, we are getting there. But at least the conditions must exist \u2013 swearing-in of the council of ministers within 24 hours of the elections presents the nation with a fait accompli.\n4. The possibility of pressure and bargaining by allies cannot be discounted. But on that question, delay can cut both ways. As the current example shows, the PM used delay to make the DMK blink first. It was the opposite convention (of immediate swearing-in of the entire council) which mounted the pressure.\nWhat I suggest will not be a panacea, but just a small step towards greater democratic accountability. That\u2019s all.\nUpdate 2: Veerappa Moily is the new Minister for Law and Justice. One can expect some of the proposals made by the Second Administrative Reforms Commission, chaired by him, to translate into practice.\nTagged with council of ministers, Elections, Executive-Parliament relations\nMore interesting comments on Verdict 2009\nCurbing and penalising inflammatory reporting\nDear Tarunabh,\n1. Your use of the word evil in the title of your post is strange. Delay may be bad but evil?\n2. I am puzzled by your comparing our system to the US one. In the US, all cabinet appointments have to be ratified by the senate via a confirmation hearing. Furthermore, the incoming team has a \u201ctransition period\u201d of about 2 months between the election in November and the inauguration in January. We have neither confirmation hearings nor a transition period.\nIf I understand you right, you are proposing an institutionalized \u201cdelay time\u201d of, say, two weeks before the new government takes office. But, in the absence of anything like a confirmation hearing, I fail to see what this enforced delay is going to do. It might actually have bad consequences by giving people time to \u201cpressurize\u201d the Prime Minister into giving them cabinet appointments.\n3. Right now, we do not have an immediate crisis on our hands (though a number of issues do need attention) and so, we can \u201cafford\u201d the delay. But suppose we were faced with a crisis of the magnitude that we had in 1991 where foreign exchange reserves were dangerously low. Would enforced delay still be acceptable?\nNote also that no significant policy decisions can be taken once elections are announced. Given that elections nowadays take a month, there is already a gap of two months or more during which the government is effectively on \u201cautopilot\u201d. Additional enforced delay is simply not acceptable, in my opinion.\n4. With regard to Arjun Singh and others, their non-performance and even plain bad performance had been noted over the tenure of the last government in a number of articles in the (English-language) press. I am not sure that it\u2019s the 12 day delay that has contributed to their exclusion. It is, however, noteworthy that in spite of the delay, one of the controversial ministers in the last cabinet, the DMK\u2019s A. Raja, still finds a place here. (What Raja as communications minister did in the allocation of spectrum licences, in my opinion, verges on the criminal.)\n5. Having said all this, closer scrutiny of people appointed to cabinet and even constitutional positions is certainly desirable. I can only admire the immediate and detailed scrutiny to which the US press has subjected Judge Sotomayor\u2019s judicial record following President Obama\u2019s nomination of her. In contrast, the exact procedures by which appointments to our Supreme Court are made is still a mystery for most of us.\nBut I am not sure institutionalized delay will help here. Ultimately, this is a problem of weakness of our civil society and this is reflected in various places. For instance, as many as 153 of our current parliamentarians are accused of various crimes, some fairly serious. This, inspite of various types of civil initiatives to prevent the election of \u201ctainted\u201d candidates.\nHowever, as compared to say 20 years back, certainly things are better. We did have a debate (of some sort) over the merits of Navin Chawla and there was sufficient pressure to result in the exclusion of Tytler and Sajjan Kumar from the list of Congress candidates. (Unfortunately, it looks as though that\u2019s as far as we will get. Justice for the victims of the 1984 massacres looks unlikely. And one of the Congress candidates is actually Sajjan Kumar\u2019s brother!) That\u2019s a plus point. Needless to say, things need to get a whole lot better.\nPerakath says:\nI agree with Suresh\u2019s points.\nOne noteworthy thing about the US political system which you have referred to is the complete absence of caste considerations in government formation. You do not seem to have considered the impact of the matrix of caste representation and caste balancing in the new government, which, if the press is to be believed, contributed greatly to the delay in forming the government.\nSuch considerations are abominable, condemnable, and reprehensible. The caste system is evidently alive and thriving in our country, despite the fiction to the contrary that I was taught in school.\nI\u2019m proud to say that I did not know of half the castes mentioned in the \u201cnews analysis\u201d that I read. May our politicians also be like that some day, instead of continuing under the perpetual fiction of \u201cunequals cannot be treated as equals\u201d that is held to be gospel truth in our constitutional law.\nThe selection of ministers always puzzled me and I still that they are selected by political clout in the party. As Dhananjay was arguing earlier that lawyer can take up any issue by breaking it down into \"pieces intelligible to court\", people consider ministry to be headed by any parliamentarian.\nSo I am kind of surprised when you say that the performance and scrutiny by media matters. It will be interesting if there was any book or paper on this issue. But there doesn't seem one. The google search doesn't reveal anything:\nhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=minister selection india&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=ws\nI understand from my sources that if Moily becomes the Law Minister, his choice for A-G will be P.P.Rao. But I doubt that given his representation of the petitioners in the Mandal II case. But I could be wrong.\nthis IE editorial calling for better interim arrangements touches upon some of the issues we are discussing:\nhttp://www.indianexpress.com/news/hinges-missing/467550/0",

        "raw_content": "Founding Member, The Oxford Club\nHome Experts\tNicholas Vardy\nBased in Europe, Nicholas is a widely recognized expert on exchange-traded funds and an accomplished investment expert. Nicholas has been a regular commentator on CNN International and Fox Business Network. He has also been cited in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Fox Business News, CBS MarketWatch, Yahoo Finance and MSN Money Central.\nHere\u2019s a little more about the journey that led him to you\u2026\nGrowing up in Pittsburgh, Nicholas earned spending money by selling flavored ice cubes at Little League baseball games, delivering the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at 5:00 a.m. and shoveling snow during the harsh Pennsylvania winters.\nFor a kid from the Rust Belt who was a big Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers fan, he also lived a double life. He spent his summers studying in West Germany (before unification), France, Italy and communist Hungary on scholarships he diligently applied for while in high school.\nI was lucky. My parents made me aware of opportunities other kids couldn\u2019t even dream about. Every summer, I had the chance to dip into a completely different language, reality and culture. During the bad old days of the Cold War, not a lot of kids from the United States were spending their summers in Europe, let alone behind the Iron Curtain. It was as if I got to visit another planet each summer. And then I spent the school year back on planet earth.\nLuckily, this was the kind of unusual background that top colleges were looking for.\nNicholas earned a B.A. in both economics and history and an M.A. in history in less than four years from Stanford University.\nThere, he discovered the work of free market economist Friedrich Hayek and wrote two theses on his work.\nThat work put him on track to win a Fulbright scholarship to the Karl Marx University of Economics in Budapest, making him one of the first Fulbright scholars to study behind the Iron Curtain.\nAssuming his academic interests in the Soviet Union and centrally planned economies was a professional dead-end, he turned down an economics Ph.D scholarship to Oxford University and went on to attend Harvard Law School instead.\nTruth be told, he wasn\u2019t a big fan of the law. Compared with the exciting world of clashing economic ideals, law seemed pedestrian and boring. Harvard proved better fit for his classmates, including future president Barack Obama and good friend, now Supreme Court justice, Neil Gorsuch.\nAs luck would have it, the Berlin Wall came tumbling down before he graduated. Suddenly, Eastern Europe and Russia were open for business.\nAfter Harvard, he joined the world\u2019s largest law firm, which had just opened offices in Eastern Europe. His mission \u2013 as he put it then \u2013 was to \u201chelp dismantle centrally planned economies.\u201d\nFor nearly four years, he worked on the privatizations of some of the leading banks, oil companies and telecom companies in the region, listing them on regional stock exchanges.

        "raw_content": "Fort Lauderdale Civil Depositions\nCivil Depositions in Fort Lauderdale, Florida\nFind the right Litigation attorney in Fort Lauderdale, FL\nLitigation Lawyers in Fort Lauderdale\nIn Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a civil deposition is a part of the discovery process in civil litigation.\nDiscovery, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a very crucial step in the civil litigation process. It is when all of the relevant evidence is gathered by both sides, and, generally, each side must disclose that evidence to the other.\nOne way to acquire this information in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is to simply sit down with someone involved in the dispute, or with knowledge of some of the issues, and ask them questions. This can be done through a civil deposition, which is basically a Q&A session between a lawyer, and the person being deposed. A lawyer for the other side will also be present. The person being deposed is answering their questions under oath, just as if they were testifying in court. Because of this, it's important to get their statements on the record. For that purpose, a court reporter or videographer will be present.\nConducting A Civil Deposition in Fort Lauderdale, Florida\nDepositions are typically conducted in Fort Lauderdale, Florida if a person's testimony will take several days, or more, to deliver. By doing this before a trial, the jury can be presented just with the testimony that turns out to be relevant, saving everybody a good deal of time. It is also useful if there is any reason to suspect that the witness will be unable to show up in court.\nFort Lauderdale, Florida civil depositions can go on for a long time - occasionally going for a week or more. If you get subpoenaed to give your testimony in a Fort Lauderdale, Florida civil deposition, this could prove to be incredibly inconvenient.\nTo mitigate this, the law of Fort Lauderdale, Florida typically entitles people being deposed to reimbursement. They can be compensated for travel expenses, lodging, and a can be given a small amount of money simply for their time. However, this is meant to be reimbursement for the time and expense incurred in attending a deposition, and it is most definitely not payment for the witness to give testimony that's advantageous to one side or the other.\nIn Fort Lauderdale, Florida depositions, everyone being deposed is under oath. This means that you are legally and morally obligated to answer every question truthfully. If you deliberately misrepresent your knowledge (lie), you are guilty of perjury. And if you're caught, you could end up facing jail time and/or some very steep fines.\nHow Can A Fort Lauderdale, Florida Lawyer Help?\nIf you are directly engaged in a lawsuit in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and have to appear at a deposition, you should already be represented by a lawyer. It goes without saying that you should do whatever they advise you to do during the deposition.\nIf you're not a party to a lawsuit in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, but have knowledge about some of the facts that are at issue in a pending case, you might still be called to appear in a deposition. In that case, you probably don't need to hire a lawyer.\nThere are many exciting things to do in Fort Lauderdale. For starts, visitors can enjoy a day at the Lady Helen Fishing Charters, the Antique Car Museum, the Bonnet House Museum and Gardens, the Beachfront, Stranahan House, or the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. For some great shopping and fine dining, Las Olas Boulevard is the place to go!\nFort Lauderdale has an approximate population of 165,521 people. The area is commonly known as it is a South Florida metropolitan area. Another reason for its popularity is its nickname--\"the Venice of America.\" Fort Lauderdale gets its nickname because the city is filled with many intricate canal systems. This is so to compliment the major yatching center of the city, with 42,000 resident yachts and 100 marinas and boatyards.\nThere are many great law firms located in Fort Lauderdale. Primarily, there are many small to mid-size law firms located in the area. These firms house excellent attorneys who provide their clients with efficient and personalized legal services. For clients who require large, multinational law firm services, Miami is very near! Larger firms in Miami can serve those specific needs. All in all, Fort Lauderdale proves that there is more to Florida than Disney World and South Beach!\nFort Lauderdale Civil Procedure Attorneys\nFort Lauderdale Courts Lawyers\nFort Lauderdale Punitive Damages Attorneys\nFort Lauderdale Commercial Litigation Lawyer\nFort Lauderdale Filing a Lawsuit Attorney\nFort Lauderdale Tort Lawyers Lawyer",

        "raw_content": "Location: US 4 / Inn at Long Trail (103.5 miles)\nTags: Appalachian Trail, Long Trail, Vermont\nAbout five minutes after I got into my sleeping bag last night was when the pain hit. My feet had lied to me: they weren't actually ready for 19 miles of hiking. For the next two or three hours, they demanded constant attention, and I cycled between lying there restlessly and massaging each foot in turn. Eventually, the pain subsided, and I was able to get some sleep, though the wooden bunk I was sleeping on in Cooper Lodge felt hard as rock, and I couldn't really get in a comfortable position. (That there was no guard to prevent you from rolling off the edge did little to help my sleep, and I would occasionally wake up and wonder if it was safe to roll over because I couldn't actually remember which way I was facing.)\nEventually, I drifted off to sleep, and woke up sometime shortly before 7. It was a bit cool outside, and it took some effort to work my way out of my sleeping bag. I finally left the shelter around 8 am, and began descending Killington, to head towards a warm shower and bed at Inn at Long Trail.\nWhile it was not raining, the mountaintop was still in fog, so it was no less wet and miserable leaving the shelter as it was when I arrived, though there was a little bit less wind.\nTwo and a half miles of gradual downhill and very slight uphill from Cooper Lodge brought me to Jungle Junction, the intersection between the Long Trail and the Sherburne Pass Trail. This trail was the former route of the Long and Appalachian Trails, which were relocated to the west in 1999 when it seemed a ski slope would be built near the trail alignment.\nBesides making it to a warm shower and bed, my goal for the day was to summit Pico Mountain, #71 on the New England Hundred Highest list, and the way to get there was to follow the Sherburne Pass Trail to the Pico Camp shelter, and then take the spur trail up to the summit. So, off I went down the old trail, reaching Pico Camp fairly quickly.\nPico Camp was a small four-walled shelter, which was (surprisingly!) occupied by one hiker when I arrived. (He reported it had been really cold there last night, which didn't seem surprising given my experience at Cooper Lodge.\nI left my pack in the shelter, and headed off on the half-mile side trail up to the summit. The trail was steep in a few places, but, relieved of the burden of my pack, I made relatively short work of of the climb. Naturally, the trail crossed a maintenance road (or, perhaps, a ski slope in winter) leading to the summit several times, before ending at the road near the top. The summit itself was nothing special; a used fire ring seemed to mark the peak.\nI returned to Pico Camp, picked up my pack, and continued down the Sherburne Pass Trail. While technically not a part of the Long Trail, it used to be, and I've already hiked the segment between Jungle Junction and Maine junction (where the AT and LT split). The primary advantage of continuing down the old trail is that it exits the mountain directly across from Inn at Long Trail, my destination for the day; the AT/LT's current alignment reaches the road a little less than a mile away, making for a long road walk to and from the trail. For the AT, the Sherburne Pass Trail would be a bit of a shortcut, but adding in the Pico Spur, and the extra distance on the AT I'll have to do to get back to Maine Junction, I think it's fair to say I'm not really taking a shortcut for the Long Trail.\nFrom the Camp, the trail wound its way around the side of the mountain for a half mile, exiting onto a ski slope and steeply dropping down about 200 feet before re-entering the woods. A sign warning skiers of the \"dangerous and desolate area\" ahead added some color. From there, the trail was more-or-less a continuous, gradual downhill, gradually becoming less rocky and rooty as it descended the mountain. Making good time, I reached my destination, the Inn at Long Trail, around 11 am.\nThe original plan for the day, upon reaching the Inn, was to get a room, get a shower, do laundry, get some food, and then take the bus to Rutland for resupply. However, I wasn't able to check in immediately, since the rooms were not ready, so I wound up sitting in the lounge for a short while waiting for the bar to open up so I could get lunch. After lunch, I checked into my room, a bit after 1, and then got a shower. After inserting a nap into the plan, the timetable for a resupply became questionable (since it would be difficult to finish in time for the last bus back to the inn). I decided to zero here tomorrow, and give my ankle a bit more time to rest, after the beating it must have taken yesterday.\nThat freed up my afternoon and evening for sitting at the bar chatting with the bar staff and other hikers until well past hiker midnight.\nTomorrow: a relaxing day, involving no hiking.\n\u00ab (Cooper Lodge) Previous Entry\nNext Entry (US 4 / Rutland / Inn at Long Trail) \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "A Night At A Castle\nLast week Paul and I, along with several of the REVO crew, went to the Stand for Freedom Gala in Greensboro at Castle McCullough. It was a semi-formal event with hors d\u2019eouvres, live music, a silent auction and speakers.\nAs Thursday approached we all became giddy with the excitement of getting to dress up and go to a CASTLE! If the week leading to Thursday was filled with giddiness then Thursday itself was nothing but female hormones running wild. Shoes, clothes, lipstick, bobby pins\u2026you name it and it was all being tossed to and fro in excited energy as we all got ready. (This is how it was at my house. It is quite possible that this happened at the homes of others as well).\nPaul and I rode over with our friends Stephen and Ally. We talked about the food, the Castle, and the food some more.\nWe arrived and the first balloon popped\u2026.We would not be eating fancy finger foods in the castle but in the garden that the castle overlooked. We got in line for the all out food fest but POP\u2026down came the second balloon. The food was great, but there wasn\u2019t much of it. I guess we were expecting a meal even though the invitation clearly stated hors d\u2019eouvres.\nWe bid, we took pictures, we ate, we chatted\u2026and then we listened. We were moved at the words of a poet from the West Coast as he recited beautiful, uplifting and challenging words. We cried at the story of a woman who had come out of prostitution and is now helping other young women do the same. We were moved to action by the CEO of World Relief.\nIt dawned on me as we walked out how preoccupied I had been with things that really didn\u2019t matter. I didn\u2019t focus why we were having the event until it was more or less over. I lost sight of how many people are trafficked through my world, my country, my state, my city. As I sat and listened to people share incredible stories that I didn\u2019t want to be someone who gets dressed up, goes to an event, writes a check and leaves thinking no more about the problem. I want to not only think about it, but help change it.\nWhy can\u2019t we see the end of human trafficking? The only thing standing in our way is ourselves.\n\u2190 Funny Says from Lily\nIn Case You Didn\u2019t See It\u2026.The Conclusion To the Nomadic Love Story. \u2192",

But in recent years, that is no longer true. The growth rate of manufacturing productivity in the United States has slowed to a crawl, rising by only 0.3% in the year ending with the first quarter of 2018 with no signs of an immediate turnaround.\nTo be fair, part of the apparent productivity slowdown may be due to our inability to measure increased sophistication of products correctly. For example, new airplanes and machine tools may have far better electronics built into them that cannot be correctly tracked by economic statisticians. Even something as simple as a valve might be evolving in materials and even functionality.\nManufacturing Productivity Growth Is Plunging\n10-year growth rate (four quarter average)\nBut the productivity slowdown in manufacturing extends far beyond advanced goods. Nondurable industries such as food processing have seen productivity slowdowns as well. For example, labor productivity in the very important food manufacturing industry has not risen in 15 years, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Meanwhile, the entire industry employs less than 1000 software developers.\nFor a while, the weakness in U.S. manufacturing was obscured by the success of the largest American manufacturing multinationals. According to a study by McKinsey Global Institute, large U.S.-based manufacturers enjoyed returns on capital exceeding 20% in the 1997-2013 period, much higher than their European and Asian peers.\nIn recent years, the profits malaise has hit the bigger industrial firms as well. Since 2007, there has been almost no growth in manufacturing profits as measured by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), after adjusting for inflation.\nAnnual Growth of Manufacturing Profits\nHow far back does the manufacturing productivity problem go? It matters which indicator you view. If we look at labor productivity\u2014output per unit of labor\u2014productivity growth was strong through the middle of the 2000s. Manufacturers followed a strategy of replacing people with machines or shifting labor-intensive low-value operations to other countries with cheaper labor. Non-core workers like cafeteria workers or cleaning staff were outsourced to other non-manufacturing companies. Fewer workers and the same output led to higher labor productivity.\nBut that is not the whole story. If we look at \u201cmultifactor productivity,\u201d manufacturing\u2019s problems go back much further. Multifactor productivity takes into account the usage of purchased services, energy, capital, and intermediate inputs. For example, if a manufacturing company buys a machine to replace some of its workers, labor productivity will rise. But multifactor productivity may or may not go up, depending on how expensive the machine is relative to workers.\nSimilarly, if a manufacturer outsources part of its production process to another company, that will show up as a drop in labor but an increase in purchased parts. Labor productivity will go up, but multifactor productivity might rise or fall depending on the efficiency of the second company.\nMultifactor productivity corresponds much more closely to competitiveness and profitability than pure labor productivity does. Unfortunately, when we look at multifactor productivity growth in manufacturing by industry over the past 20 years, the situation is rather discouraging.\nWeak Multifactor Productivity Growth in Most Manufacturing Industries\nAverage annual growth of multifactor productivity, 1996-2016\nOne industry\u2014computer and electronics products\u2014shows very strong multifactor productivity growth over the past twenty years. But many manufacturing industries have weak or even negative multifactor productivity growth over the past 20 years. In other words, they have become less competitive.\nTake the machinery industry, which includes everything from agriculture, construction and mining machinery, to industrial machinery, to heating and air-conditioning equipment, to turbines and power transmission equipment. Labor productivity has risen because machinery manufacturers have become more automated, reduced workforce, and sourced more parts from overseas. That is good news.\nHowever, multifactor productivity in the machinery industry has been flat for the past 20 years. That means the underlying productivity of the machinery industry has not risen for the past 20 years, taking into account the spending on capital equipment, purchased services, and materials. No economist or industry leader would have predicted that outcome in 1996, as the internet revolution started. That is why there have been two lost decades for manufacturing.\nFocus on the Machinery Industry Productivity\n<< Back to Digital Versus Physical Industries\nContinue to The Digitization Paradox >>",

        "raw_content": "Home \u203a News \u203a Brad Gessner Blog Post NEW!\nI\u2019m writing this for anyone considering enrolling in San Diego State University\u2019s on-line Master\u2019s in Hospitality & Tourism Management program.\nFirst, here\u2019s a little background about me.\nI am a 35 year veteran of the Public Assembly Facility Management industry having spent time with the Sheraton Hotel Corporation, San Antonio Convention facilities department, and most recently as General Manager of the San Diego Convention Center Corporation (2006-2012).\nIn the spring of 2012 I decided to apply to be in the first Cohort of this new on-line Master\u2019s program primarily because I thought it would look good optically for my consulting enterprise I was launching, and would assist me in pursuing my goal of teaching at the university level someday.\nI must confess that I was less than enamored with the on-line type of teaching/curriculum having gone through under graduate programs in the 1970\u2019s and being of the misguided old school belief that you have to sit in a classroom or lecture hall listening to a professor (or Graduate Assistant) drone on for an hour in a monotone voice while taking copious notes to truly learn at the university level.\nI now know how wrong I was.\nI was fortunate to be accepted to the new HTM program and last August we embarked on the journey that has proven to be one of the best learning experiences of my entire life.\nThe kick off week was well planned and chocked full of lectures, visiting experts in our field, projects and team building and \u201cleadership immersion\u201d (HTM 601) learning experiences.\nThen the on-line portion started with Professor Larry Beck, PhD teaching the Directed Readings class (HTM 790). Great reading and I learned so much about entrepreneurialism, business and leadership style. Then Jeff Campbell\u2019s class on Financial Analysis in HTM (HTM 651) gave me incredible insight and knowledge about practical business techniques in analyzing businesses and how to manage the financial aspects of the industry that were very insightful. Next was \u201cLeading in Complex Human Systems\u201d (HTM 653). That class raised the bar even higher with Lori Sipe and Mark Testa, PhD teaching a class focused on leadership theory and techniques past-present and future.\nI am now the Vice President of Convention Centers for AEG Facilities in Los Angeles, and can tell you there is no question in my mind that the knowledge I have attained in the past six months from the excellent coursework and instruction provided through the SDSU Master\u2019s in HTM has helped me succeed in my new position.\nLiving in Los Angeles, the only way I could participate and benefit from this coursework is through the on-line program, which I have found to be convenient and more conducive to learning than the classroom style of teaching. It allows busy executives to log on to Blackboard and watch lectures, read materials and complete coursework and exams at their convenience. I am now a true believer that the on-line learning system is the best way to learn for busy executives.\nSuffice it to say I\u2019m a big fan of SDSU\u2019s Master\u2019s in Hospitality and Tourism program, and highly recommend it to any executive in the hospitality, tourism or public assembly facility management field.",

Here\u2019s what coach Darryl Sutter had to say\u2026\n\u2013 On tonight\u2019s game: \u201cWe just want to continue to play well and hopefully get points out of it.\u201d\n\u2013 On fixing the power play: \u201cContinue to work at it and finish our opportunities\u2026continue to get them and then finish them.\u201d\n\u2013 On how to penetrate Nashville, a team with several responsible forwards: \u201cMatch up against their veteran centermen. Three guys that are really taking care of both ends of the ice. And then they\u2019re really smart players as far as the neutral zone; being quarterbacks. So, we have to match up with those three guys. And then, obviously, have awareness that they have two defensemen who shoot the puck a lot.\u201d\n\u2013 On who will be the back-up goalie for the Kings tonight: \u201cFor our team? That\u2019s a dumb question, but I don\u2019t have a dumb answer.\u201d\n\u2013 On if Jonathan Quick will start in net tonight: \u201cYou asked that 30 times last year; you know the answer. If you get here for warm-ups and he\u2019s the first guy out and he doesn\u2019t get hurt in warm-up then that\u2019s generally the guy who starts for every team. It\u2019s kind of a backwards question right? You want to know who\u2019s backing up. So that basically tells you who\u2019s starting. So, remember it\u2019s not baseball.\u201d\n\u2013 On the strong play of the fourth line to start the season: \u201cIs that Stollie\u2019s line?\u2026(answered \u2013 No Fraser\u2019s line)\u2026Oh, you\u2019re looking for production from whatever you would class as the fourth line. It\u2019s really just based on production. I\u2019m not sure which line it is. I think that the kids on the fourth\u2026there hasn\u2019t been a consistent fourth line really. Jordan and Fraz have been on it, and we\u2019ve been trying to get other guys going.\u201d\n\u2013 On if Dustin Penner will play tonight: \u201cWe\u2019ll see after they sing the song.\u201d\nNOTE: Penner skated after practice in the \u2018extra players\u2019 group. So, it\u2019s highly unlikely he\u2019ll play tonight.\n\u2013 On if Penner has been working hard to get back in the line-up: \u201cYou know, we\u2019re trying to get his conditioning to a point where he\u2019s game ready.\u201d\nWhile some of his answers today were real gems, they weren\u2019t as good as a few days ago\u2026when he was on fire \u2013 see here.\nAlso, be sure to enter tonight\u2019s First Goal Contest. Simply guess who will score first for the Kings and you could win a prize package.\nFiled Under: Coaches and Management, HockeyBlog, Interview, Kings, NHL Tagged With: coach, comments, hockey, interview, Kings, Los Angeles, Mayor, MayorsManor, NHL, Penner, Quick, quote, Sutter\nVIDEO: Preds at Kings previews with Kopitar, Doughty, Clifford says:\n[\u2026] To read coach Darryl Sutter\u2019s comments from this morning \u2013 which included nuggets about his starting goaltender and Dustin Penner \u2013 click here.

        "raw_content": "McMorris Rodgers Works to Bring Medical Records Access to Veterans in Eastern Washington\nWASHINGTON, D.C. (March 7, 2018) \u2013 In July, Eastern Washington Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) introduced the bipartisan Modernization of Medical Records Access for Veterans Act of 2017 to provide veterans access to their comprehensive medical records at all times. Today, the Congresswoman spoke before the House Veterans Affairs Committee\u2019s Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations in support of her legislation. In case you missed it, you can watch her full remarks below:\n\u201cEvery day, I hear from veterans in Eastern Washington who are in desperate need for help and yet so often they feel like when they contact the VA, that they\u2019re more of a burden than actually having the red carpet rolled out to them\u2026I have even heard from providers in the community that I represent who have been frustrated to the point of tears because they are unable to treat veterans because the patient cannot obtain their own medical records.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m disappointed that the VA has chosen to oppose this legislation \u2014 that they\u2019ve chosen to focus on the challenges rather than the opportunity here to offer our veterans high-quality care. Will there be challenges? Yes. But you know what, that shouldn\u2019t stop us\u2026My staff and I have held several meetings with the VA\u2019s Office of Information and Technology where this legislation was discussed, where VRYTY was brought in to demonstrate their technology and where draft legislation was sent to the VA before introduction for comments and concerns. Additionally, we have in writing that the Office of Information and Technology was supportive of this legislation. In the VA\u2019s words \u2018this looks good to us\u2019. What this bill is proposing is a simple, common sense, off-the-shelf, readily available solution to a persistent problem.\u201d\nNOTE: This legislation was introduced alongside Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA). Rep. McMorris Rodgers and Rep. Moulton also joined in introducing the Faster Care for Veterans Act in 2016 which passed Congress and was signed into law by President Obama in December of 2016. Another bill aimed at bringing the VA into the 21st Century, this legislation launched a pilot program to allow veterans to use off-the-shelf technology to schedule appointments at the VA using an app or website, an option available to private citizens all over the country.",

        "raw_content": "Today marks the beginning of a whole new chapter for Anchor and our mission to democratize audio. Our co-founders Michael Mignano and Nir Zicherman share their perspective on the big news.\nAnchor is the best way to make your podcast, and now it\u2019s officially part of Spotify. Through a strategic acquisition announced today, we\u2019ll be bringing Anchor\u2019s suite of tools for podcast creation, distribution, and monetization, to Spotify\u2019s community of more than 200 million global users. Most importantly, podcasters everywhere will now have the power of the world\u2019s most forward-thinking audio company building tools designed specifically for them. Podcasting, as we know and love it, will forever be changed for the better.\nIn 2014, the two of us became obsessed with podcasts. Inspired by now-classics like Serial, the Grantland network, Gimlet\u2019s Startup, Dan Carlin\u2019s Hardcore History, and countless others, we tried to start podcasts of our own\u2026 only to become discouraged by the complicated process and expensive hardware we found ourselves endlessly researching. We quickly realized we weren\u2019t alone, so we set out to create a better way to make podcasts. With a mobile-first approach, a willingness to quickly iterate, and an ability to move (and fail!) fast, we embarked on building the future.\nA few short years and a rapid product evolution later, Anchor is powering more than 40% of all new podcasts and giving people all over the world the ability to have their voices heard. Moreover, through the recent launch of Anchor Sponsorships, Anchor has already more than doubled the number of total podcasters in the market who\u2019ve been able to generate revenue by advertising. It\u2019s been a journey we feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced, in pursuit of a mission to democratize audio that inspires us daily. Today marks the beginning of a whole new chapter for that mission, and in many ways, we\u2019re just getting started.\nWhen we first discussed joining forces, Daniel Ek\u200a\u2014\u200aSpotify\u2019s founder and CEO\u200a\u2014\u200atold us that Spotify wanted to \u201cgive Anchor superpowers\u201d. Most importantly, we came to the conclusion that our two companies\u2019 missions are perfectly aligned. As Daniel and Spotify\u2019s Chief Research & Development Officer Gustav S\u00f6derstr\u00f6m expressed to us, Spotify\u2019s mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it. It was at that moment we realized Spotify is the perfect home for Anchor.\nIf you\u2019re already using Anchor to make your podcast, today\u2019s news means great things for your ability to create and build your show. To be clear, the way you create, distribute, and monetize on Anchor does not change. We will continue to operate Anchor\u2019s platform as you know it (but now as part of Spotify!), and in fact it will only be getting better. This means more tools, more data, and more power to make a great podcast and get it heard by audiences all over the world.

This antidote works in less than three minutes \u2013 meeting the United States Department of Defense \u201cthree minute solution\u201d standard. The research will be featured in the Dec. 27, 2007 issue of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.\nThe antidote was tested on animals and has been exceptionally effective, Patterson said. Researchers hope to begin human clinical trials during the next three years.\nThe antidote is also unique because it can be taken orally (current antidotes must be given intravenously) and may be administered up to an hour prior to cyanide exposure.\nBecause cyanide occurs naturally in pitted fruits, some grasses and other foods, and the body has mechanisms to detoxify small amounts in the diet. The new antidote takes advantage of this natural detoxification pathway by providing the substance the body naturally uses to convert cyanide to non-toxic thiocyanate.\nU of M researchers discover fast-acting cyanide antidote [EurekAlert]\nPosted in Drugs, News | Comments Off on New Cyanide Antidote\nMed Student\u2019s Drug Guide \u2013 Part 2\nSDN\u2019s Alison Hayward, M.D. and Sarah M. Lawrence present a concise guide to narcotics:\nmarketed by Bayer from 1898-1910 as a cough syrup and as a cure for morphine addiction, until the public discovered that heroin is merely an acetylated form of morphine which is not only converted to morphine as it is metabolized in the liver, but also is approximately twice as potent. Heroin is well-known as a highly addictive substance which can cause withdrawal symptoms after just a few days of use. Its classic effects include CNS/respiratory depression and miosis (pinpoint pupils). Withdrawal from heroin, referred to by patients as being \u201cdope sick\u201d, results in numerous unpleasant symptoms such as malaise, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, muscle cramping and aches. You may note that your patients also begin yawning as they go into withdrawal. Withdrawal can be abruptly precipitated by the use of naloxone (Narcan), an opiate antagonist. This can have the unfortunate effect of causing the patient to go from a comatose state to an agitated, \u201cdope sick\u201d state which can be followed by the patient\u2019s rapid departure against medical advice to seek more heroin. For this reason it is advisable to titrate naloxone by using small doses. It is important to note that however unhappy those in heroin withdrawal may be, withdrawal from heroin cannot kill you. Heroin is most commonly injected IV but can also be snorted or injected subcutaneously. Heroin plus cocaine injected IV is known as a \u2019speedball\u2019.\na dissociative anesthetic\u2026 used in veterinary and human medicine. Classified as an NMDA receptor antagonist, ketamine induces a state known as dissociative anesthesia, in which signals from the conscious mind to other parts of the brain are blocked. Ketamine is primarily used in the induction and maintenance of general anesthesia, usually in combination with a sedative. Because it produces less respiratory depression than other anesthetics, Ketamine is useful in children and in emergency department patients with unknown medical histories. Besides its legitimate medical uses, Ketamine, or \u201cSpecial K\u201d is often used illicitly. Symptoms of Ketamine intoxication include sedation, hallucinations, a sense of bodily detachment, sensory distortions and unintelligible speech. No antidote exists and treatment is supportive.\nphencyclidine is a dissociative hallucinogen that can be used either in crystalline or liquid form. In the liquid form, cigarettes or joints my be dipped in PCP then smoked. Its best known street name (though it has many) is \u201cangel dust\u201d. On a typical exam question, a patient will present to the emergency room with tachycardia, agitation, and potentially nystagmus or ataxia. The hallmark of phencyclidine on an exam question is that the patient will be engaging in highly violent behavior. The drug can cause behavioral disturbances as well as decreased pain sensation, the combination of these two factors increase the risk for violence.\nGHB is known on the street as Grievous Bodily Harm, Georgia Home Boy or Liquid Ecstasy. It is a clear liquid that resembles water but has a slightly salty taste. Banned in the United States, GHB is nonetheless available for purchase on the internet or imported from other countries. Often sold in small bottles, GHB can be mixed with water or combined with other beverages to conceal its flavor. The ability to slip this substance into the drink of an unsuspecting victim, along with its sedative and amnestic properties have implicated GHB as a drug used in facilitated sexual assault.\nThe classic signs of GHB intoxication are CNS and respiratory depression, but GHB also has effects on other organ systems. Symptoms may include nystagmus, ataxia, seizures, vomiting, somnolence and aggression. Extreme CNS depression is most commonly observed in patients presenting to the ED with GHB overdose, but this CNS depression may resolve suddenly due to rebound effects from the drug. A patient may go from completely unresponsive to agitated and combative in a very short time frame.\n\u201cbenzos\u201d are a class of prescription drugs with varying hypnotic, anxiolytic, sedative, anticonvulsant, amnestic and muscle relaxant properties. They are useful in the induction of anesthesia and the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, agitation, seizures, muscle spasms and alcohol withdrawal. Recreational users of stimulants may use benzos as a means of \u201ccoming down.\u201d\nBenzodiazepines exert their action at the GABA-A receptor in the CNS. Taken alone, benzodiazepines are considered very safe. When combined with other substances such as alcohol, serious or fatal CNS, respiratory or cardiovascular depression may occur. Symptoms of benzodiazepine intoxication include drowsiness, ataxia, confusion and vertigo.\nCommon benzodiazepines used in practice include alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), midazolam (Versed) and temazepam (Restoril). Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) is a type of benzodiazepine that is available in Mexico and Latin America and imported illegally into the United States. Particularly insidious are its amnestic properties and its tasteless, odorless formulation. These characteristics make \u201croofies,\u201d as they are popularly known, a frighteningly effective tool in drug-facilitated sexual assault. The danger of this drug contributed to its inclusion in the Drug-Induced Rape Prevention and Punishment Act of 1996.\nDrugs used for date rape such as Rohypnol and GHB can only be detected within a short time of ingestion on a drug screen, so if there is any question of their use, patients must be tested as soon as possible. Standard drug screens may not capture these chemicals; practitioners should make sure to specify the need to test for these drugs if their presence is suspected. This can be challenging as part of the drugs\u2019 effectiveness is their ability to cloud the memory of their victims, leaving doubt about the events that transpired.\nRaves, Rollin\u2019, & Roofies: Your Guide to Club Drugs [Student Doctor Network]\nPosted in Drugs | Comments Off on Med Student\u2019s Drug Guide \u2013 Part 2\nAlcohol is a CNS depressant that appears to act mainly as an agonist on GABA receptors and a blocker at NMDA receptors. It is more correctly referred to as ethanol or \u201cEtOH\u201d because there are other types of alcohols, including methanol (solvent alcohol), acetone (nail polish remover), and ethylene glycol (antifreeze). All these are part of the classic \u201cMUDPILES\u201d acronym for anion gap acidosis, because they are metabolized to ketoacids.\nOne drink = 1 shot = 1 glass of wine = 1 beer, each drink should elevate the blood ethanol level by approximately 20mg/dL, and coincidentally, this is about the amount that is metabolized by the average person in one hour.\nYou must be able to identify alcohol withdrawal, for two reasons: one, it often presents in hospitalized patients who have not revealed that they are dependent on alcohol, and two, it can kill. Therefore, when a patient on the wards (or in a board question) becomes tachycardic, agitated/tremulous, diaphoretic, and hypertensive, if you are the only one on the team to think of ethanol withdrawal, you\u2019ll look like a superstar. Classically (in a board question) the patient will have been in the hospital for about 3 days, but in reality, onset can be as early as a few hours after the last drink. Another presentation that should raise your antennae is a patient with no history of seizure disorder who has a seizure after a day or two in the hospital. These seizures do usually have a brief post-ictal state, and are often accompanied by the other manifestations of ethanol withdrawal. Ethanol levels are likely to be negligible or zero, but should be drawn.\nThe big names to associate with alcohol are Wernicke and Korsakoff \u2013 a.k.a Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, which is a result of thiamine deficiency related to alcoholism. Wernicke\u2019s encephalopathy is ataxia, altered mental status, and ophthalmoplegia. It can progress to Korsakoff psychosis, in which patients cannot recall events and so they create improbable stories to explain what has happened. This is called \u2018confabulation\u2019. Many a medical student has been fooled by a confabulator. Remember \u2013 if a wild tale starts sounding way too wild to be true, you might be dealing with a confabulator.\nethanol is the treatment for methanol poisoning, because it competitively inhibits methanol turning into formate.\nCocaine can be used in a number of ways. While chewing on a coca leaf can make a user feel mildly euphoric for a few hours, smoking crack cocaine gives the user a rush before they even have time to exhale. Cocaine use results in tachycardia, but also can cause dangerous arrhythmias, and can precipitate myocardial infarction through coronary vasospasm. The mainstay of treatment is benzodiazepines.\n[MDMA] came to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s when it was used as part of psychotherapy, for which it appeared useful to facilitate communication as part of relationship counseling. It is a synthetic drug that is used in pill form. The most common concern for side effects of ecstasy is during its use at dance parties, when users may go for many hours without drinking enough water to stay hydrated. The combination of increased temperature and dancing can cause significant dehydration. Common effects include euphoria and increased appreciation of tactile stimuli. Ecstasy is unlikely to kill users and usually only results in death if combined with other drugs. Treatment is symptomatic.\nknown on the street as \u201cspeed\u201d or \u201ccrank\u201d \u2013 or just \u201cmeth.\u201d [Methamphetamine is a powerful stimulant that] increases levels of brain dopamine significantly, resulting in increased movement and enhanced mood. Although methamphetamine is classified in DEA Schedule II, it is not widely prescribed\nMethamphetamine can be taken orally, by snorting, by injection, or by smoking. Tolerance and addiction are often rapid. Symptoms of methamphetamine use include wakefulness, increased physical activity, loss of appetite, rapid heart and respiratory rates, increased blood pressure and hyperthermia. Users may experience insomnia, anxiety, confusion, tremor, convulsions, aggression, hallucinations, memory loss and severe dental problems. Treatment for methamphetamine addiction is challenging and should include cognitive-behavioral therapy to help break deeply entrenched patterns of abuse.\nWhen you hear people referring to \u201cshrooms\u201d as a hallucinogen, they\u2019re generally referring to Psilocybin mushrooms, also known as \u201cmagic mushrooms\u201d. Mushrooms that contain the compounds psilocybin or psilocin cause users to have hallucinations and feelings of euphoria that last about 6-8 hours. Contrary to popular belief, the effects are not due to the \u201cpoisonous\u201d nature of the mushrooms. In fact, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health\u2019s Registry of Toxic Effects rates psilocybin\u2019s toxicity at 641 (with 1 being most toxic), compared to aspirin at 199 and nicotine at 21. A person would reportedly have to consume his or her own body weight in psilocybin mushrooms to take a lethal dose. Not surprisingly, then, treatment is mainly observation and supportive care until the effects wear off. Psilocybin can be much more dangerous when used with alcohol or marijuana, due to increased amounts of risky behavior. Unpleasant side effects can include nausea and vomiting.\nCoffee Pros & Cons\nFor moderate coffee drinkers (3-4 cups/day providing 300-400 mg/day of caffeine), there is little evidence of health risks and some evidence of health benefits.\n2. Regular coffee consumption reduces the risk of Parkinson\u2019s disease.\n3. Coffee consumption is potentially protective against the development of type 2 diabetes.\n4. Coffee drinking may protect against liver cirrhosis, especially alcoholic cirrhosis.\n5. protective against gallstone formation\n6. lowers the risk of kidney stones formation.\n7. Improved mental performance.\n8. Regular coffee consumption seems to protect against Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\n9. Caffeine can open airways and improve asthma symptoms.\n1. caffeine can increase the risk of heart attack, especially among those people who carry the \u201cslow\u201d gene variant for the enzyme that metabolizes caffeine. diterpenes cafestol and kahweol present in unfiltered coffee and caffeine each appear to increase risk of coronary heart disease. High quality studies have confirmed the cholesterol-raising effect of diterpenes. Coffee consumption is also associated with an increase of plasma homocysteine, a risk factor for coronary heart disease.\n2. Heavy consumption of boiled coffee elevates blood total and LDL cholesterol. Unfiltered coffee contains two cholesterol-raising compounds cafestol and kahweol.\n3. Coffee negatively affects the blood vessel tone and function (increases arterial stiffness and wave reflections).\n4. Coffee can cause \u2026cardiac arrhythmias\n5. Although coffee consumption is not a significant risk factor for hypertension, it produces unfavorable effects on blood pressure and people prone to hypertension may be more susceptible.\n6. Coffee intake may induce an extra urinary excretion of calcium. Heavy coffee consumption (4 cups=600 ml or more) can modestly increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially in women with a low calcium intake.\n7. A cup of coffee can trigger heartburn.\n8. High amounts of caffeine taken before going to sleep, can cause restlessness and difficulty falling asleep, tendency to be awakened more readily by sudden noises, and a decreased quality of sleep. However, some people can drink coffee and fall right asleep.\n10. Dependence.

        "raw_content": "To answer that question we must first discuss the role of medications in the treatment of ADHD. Medications have been used to treat the symptoms of ADHD for several decades.\nMedications have the potential to improve several variables:\nReduced hyperactivity and impulsivity\nIncreased attention and concentration\nIncreased accuracy of school work\nDecreased physical and verbal aggression\nIncreased compliance with adult requests\nImproved motor coordination, potentially resulting in improved handwriting\nBefore you consider giving your child or teenager medications, you need to evaluate the necessity of such treatment since the presence of a diagnosis does not automatically indicate a need for medication treatment. Medication treatment becomes necessary if the disorder is clearly affecting a child\u2019s function. Children function in different spheres (school, home, peers, etc.) and all of them should be thoroughly evaluated.\nDon\u2019t feel pressured to use medications right away without trying to explore other potential modalities of treatment such as school intervention, organization training, social skills training, behavioral modification, psychotherapy, executive function training, and parent training.\nAs a practice, we strongly believe in a conservative approach to the use of medications and advocate a holistic approach to addressing ADHD. We believe in using a collaborative model that addresses all the different challenges of ADHD. At the same time, we recognize that medications can potentially be helpful for many kids, teens and adults who struggle with ADHD.",

        "raw_content": "Amy Stocker - Rosebud PRESCHOOL\nI grew up in Mendocino County. After obtaining a BA in Liberal Studies at California State University, Chico, I followed my dream of teaching children by obtaining a California State Teaching Credential in 2005. The magic and brilliance of Waldorf Education was first introduced to me when I was a student in a Waldorf Kindergarten. After teaching in various preschools in California, Arizona, and Oregon, I made my way back home to The Waldorf School of Mendocino County (WSMC). In 2007, I began teaching at WSMC as a kindergarten teacher while simultaneously completing my Waldorf teacher training at Rudolf Steiner College in Fair Oaks, California. After taking six years away from WSMC to be at home with my two young daughters, I rejoined the WSMC Faculty in 2015 and had the pleasure of teaching my small friends in the Primrose Classroom.\nVANESSA FRENCH - ROSEBUD ASSISTANT\nI\u2019ve lived in Mendocino County for 30 years after moving from Greece when I was 2! As a child, I had a brief experience with WSMC and fell in love with its education philosophy and community. I knew before my son was even an apple in my eye that I wanted him to go to school here at WSMC. I began working at WSMC in 2008 as a specialty teacher and aftercare coordinator. I had planned to open an in-home daycare but the universe had something else in store for me: my dream job at WSMC. I have been lucky enough to teach games, movement, clay sculpture, beeswax, creative play, and rest & story.\nWhen my son, Wyatt, was born, I left for 3 years, but returned in 2013 as a specialty teacher and aftercare coordinator when he was ready to start preschool. For the last couple of years, I\u2019ve had the privilege of working as an assistant in the classroom which has furthered my interest in beginning my Waldorf Teacher training. I\u2019m starting this summer through a program in British Columbia. I\u2019m so blessed, grateful, and proud to be a part of this school education as a teacher and parent. As my learning grows so does my love for this education and lifestyle. In my free time, I enjoy going on family adventures, spending time in nature, organic gardening, making art, and having time with my amazingly wonderful son who is so full of surprises.\nDebra McCarthy - Red Rose Kindergarten\nI have been teaching at WSMC for sixteen years, and I was an assistant even before that time. I began my Waldorf journey when my young daughter was beginning kindergarten. We went to visit the school and immediately fell in love with it, not knowing anything about Waldorf Education. As you can imagine, it has been quite a journey for me and is always continuing to be so. The job and my life are intertwined, and I dearly believe that this is the best education for children. It's not an easy path to become a Waldorf teacher, or parent; I know I am always striving to do better.\nThere are so many favorite days in kindergarten, that I could not name just one. I thoroughly love any time the children are experiencing the beautiful world of nature or a magical moment when their imagination carries them into building a spaceship or a fairy house, to the excitement when they bring me a flower, or a worm, or a stone, and are so filled with wonder at their discovery. After they leave kindergarten, they might remember the day they got to make their own pizza, or the puppet show they performed before leaving the kindergarten to go on to first grade. Personally, I enjoy being in nature, swimming, and hiking. I like working in my garden and canning the summer bounty when I have time. I have a wonderful family to share life with, and I am very fulfilled and appreciate my good fortune.\nElizabeth Blecha - RED ROSE Assistant\nI first joined the Waldorf School of Mendocino County in 2009 as a parent when my first two children began first grade and kindergarten, after relocating from Taos, New Mexico. Since then, I have been involved as a volunteer, substitute grades teacher, gardening teacher, and Rosebud Assistant. Creating daily rhythm, singing, and cooking nourishing foods are all part of the activities that inspire my work as a teacher. I hold a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Liberal Studies from Sonoma State University, and an Associate\u2019s degree of Science in Business Administration from Mendocino College. Along with mothering my three children, I operate a small, local nursery business called Plant Friends Nursery. Other hobbies that I enjoy are farming, natural dying, baking, sewing, and hiking. My daughter is a student in Mrs. Austin\u2019s class and my youngest son is in Ms. Evans' class.\nInge Schaefer - CLASS 2 and 3 Teacher\nI have been involved with Waldorf education for the past eight years. It sometimes takes a seasoned tracker to find the start of a trace. How did I find my way here? Was it the long ago mention of the Steiner school just down the road from where I lived in Germany as an exchange student\u2014\u201cOh, you have to sign your children up even before they are born!\u201d Or was it years later criss-crossing Sonoma County as a bike tour guide with a fellow guide, whose parents were both Waldorf teachers\u2014\u201cI helped make that sign at the entrance!\u201d Regardless, it was with the birth of my two sons that the path was clear beneath my feet. It brought the need and desire to serve them as best I could in their development as whole human beings (a work that is still in progress). I have since embraced the philosophy of Steiner and taken on the work of understanding its relation to child development. I home-schooled my sons using the Waldorf curriculum and worked with groups of home-schooled children to bring the curriculum to them. To strengthen my understanding, I have been involved with the Center of Educational Renewal for the past four years. Along the way, I have also worked as an archaeologist, biked cross country, sung German songs with my Dad as he played accordion, and learned to knit from my expert mother.\nJoy Evans - CLASS 4 and 5 Teacher\nWhen I began looking deeply at Waldorf classrooms as a place for my daughter, I realized it was where I belonged as well. I have a background in Theater that includes performing and teaching at all levels, from Kindergarten through Junior College. My interest in the mystery of being human lead me to become a Licensed Acupuncturist. I bring my experience as an actor, a director, a teacher, and a healer to my teaching. I was drawn to theater and Chinese Medicine because they encompass the whole human being: the physical, the emotional, the communal, and the spiritual aspects. As a Waldorf Teacher, I get to bring my love for the human being and all her potential to the classroom everyday. I live in Leggett with my husband and daughter. In my personal life, I enjoy spending time in nature, camping, swimming in the river, and playing with my daughter Sage and our pets, Biscuit the dog, two cats, one rabbit, and nine chickens.\nKelly Austin - CLASS 6 and 7 Teacher\nI have been teaching at this wonderful school for nineteen years. I knew I was destined to work with children and families. I was eleven when I had my first babysitting job and fourteen when I got my first paycheck from the YMCA as camp counselor and swim instructor. When I had children of my own, other parents and I began to ask, \u201cWhat capacities and qualities do we want our children to have when they are eighteen years old?\u201d We met, studied, made lists, and after one year came up with a plan. Our choice of curriculum was Waldorf because we could see that it would provide what we wanted for our children. Thus, I began my Waldorf Teacher Training at the Center for Educational Renewal. I started with my first class in 4th grade, and they graduated from 8th grade in 2001; at the same time, I graduated from my teacher training program. I then began an eight year journey with my next class, which graduated in 2010. I stayed in the upper grades and graduated the 8th grade classes of 2011 and 2012. I began again with a new 1st grade in 2012. In 2015 our class, in our 4th year, was joined by the 3rd grade class. Now I am on a new exciting journey with the current 4th and 5th graders. We are moving together through the grades and will continue on until they are ready to graduate in 2020 and 2021. I am blessed to have a job that I love. Outside of school I spend every moment possible with my husband, my three children, and my three grandchildren. I enjoy reading, working puzzles, gardening, hiking, and birding.\nBARBARA LAST - AFTERCARE\nI came to Waldorf Education in Minnesota, when my first son was three. A stay-at-home mom with a teaching degree, I was immediately captivated. Indeed, the first time I walked into a Waldorf school I felt I had come home. As a parent I took all the classes that were offered. Then I took over a home preschool -- learning Waldorf as I went. Telling stories, singing to my students, wet-on-wet watercolor painting -- oh, my! Though it was sad to leave Minnesota in 2003, coming to California allowed my younger son to attend high school at Sacramento Waldorf School. It also allowed me to train at Rudolf Steiner College and teach three years, Grades 1-3, at Golden Valley Charter School. What fun to be a Waldorf teacher at last! Then there was a 4 and a half year hiatus teaching university students in China. For the past four years I\u2019ve made my home in Ukiah, lured here by a position at La Vida Charter School, where I worked in Grades 1 & 2 for three years. You may spot me running errands around town on my bicycle!\nI love getting to know your children and this lovely school by conducting the Grades Aftercare Program.\nCatherine Hutchinson - CIRCUS ARTS\nI grew up in the mountains of Colorado, where I was lucky enough to attend Shining Mountain Waldorf School. The incredibly rich curriculum steeped in arts really met my needs and I loved going to school every day. Over the years, I took and later taught aerial circus arts and taught at various circus camps and after school programs. After graduating college with a degree in art, I was looking for a way to bring my love of education, circus and the arts to others. I attended the last full-time Waldorf Teacher Training at Rudolf Steiner College in Sacramento, which helped illumine and deepen my understanding behind the education I had received. For the past few years, I have been teaching Circus and Games at River Oak Charter School. I am delighted to also be joining WSMC this year to teach Circus Arts.\nMaestra Thaxter - Spanish\nI grew up in Lima, Peru and I have taken care of children continuously since I was 6 years old. Before encountering Waldorf, I worked in public and private preschools and studied sculpture and clothing construction (I have been knitting since I was 6 or 7). I studied Waldorf Education in Lima, Peru at the I.S.P. Schiller-Goethe, where nearly all the instructors were visiting professors from Europe. This was an excellent, full-time, five-year program. I met my husband there when he was teaching marionette construction and performance. I taught Waldorf first grade for one year, but I left it because our own two children still needed my full attention. In 2013, we moved to Ukiah, and I have been teaching Spanish at WSMC ever since. In my free time, I love to paint, sculpt, and dance.\nTAMMIE DYER - BEGINNING STRINGS\nI moved to Northern California 10 years ago, after completing a Doctorate in violin performance at Stony Brook University in New York. I earned my Masters at Rice in Houston and my Bachelor\u2019s degree in Salt Lake City, where I grew up. Playing the violin started when my elementary school began offering instruction and an orchestra program, and I fell in love with it. Now as a teacher, I realize what a huge part my school experiences played a part in discovering the joy of music. I have been able to teach in Waldorf schools and find that it is an ideal environment for fostering this process of discovery, and my goal is to inspire and encourage. I am also an active performer and enjoy playing for the students. I truly believe that there is no greater gift than an opportunity to explore making music. The benefits will last a lifetime, and it is an honor to be a part of this process!\nKaren Zimmerman - Strings\nI was born and raised in Los Angeles and my first memory is about music. My mother played piano for the church choir and she took me to a rehearsal as I was only 4 and not in school yet. My being came alive with what I heard. When I was older, I decided to play bass much to my parents chagrin at the size of the thing, but they were rewarded when I graduated from the Juilliard School in New York with a bachelor's degree. I went on to gain my master's degree also. I now play with the Santa Rosa Symphony and am also the music librarian. What I love about it is that I never have a boring day.\nI am looking forward to working at WSMC as I love to teach young people how to play in an ensemble. It is a coming together as a whole to create something extraordinary.\nJohn Cunnan - Woodwork\nI have been a wood craftsman since 1972 when I taught woodcraft to the apprentices of Allan Chadwick. I founded the Round Valley Wood Wrights in 1979 and ran the wood shop for the Covelo Garden Project while it was active. I took 4th place in a national competition to create a Peace Garden as a symbol of what America really stands for, living in harmony with all of life.\nI enjoy teaching wood work to developing children with the hope of promoting their love of wood and nature.\nIn my free time, I make natural wood furniture for my side business, Wildwood Crafts.\nJENNIFER KRAUSS - OFFICE COODINATOR and REGISTRAR\nI was born in California, but spent most of my childhood in the mountains of Colorado. Mendocino County has been home to me for almost 17 years, and I find it comforting that it is so similar to the small mountain communities I was so familiar with as a child. Most of my employment background consists of work for local governments, and after 16 years in Mendocino County government I decided to go a different direction. I dreamed of a place where appreciation and kindness are integral to the culture of the organization. The Waldorf School is exactly what I was hoping for. I have Associate\u2019s degrees in Business Management and Psychology from Mendocino College. I spend most of my free time enjoying the company of my husband and our two dogs, reading, and kayaking on the lake. I enjoy several hobbies including cake decorating, gardening, knitting and crocheting. I look forward to getting to know the teachers, parents, and students of The Waldorf School.\nFrom Left to Right: Stephen Cowan, Business Manager; Rain Tenaqiya, Enrollment and Outreach Coordinator; Spring Senerchia, Administrator\nStephen Cowan - Business Manager\nI was introduced to Waldorf when my daughter began attending preschool here at the age of 3, and she has fallen in love with her new school, friends, and teachers. I was excited to become a member of the staff and join my daughter at Waldorf as the business manager. I graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in finance, owned a record store for many years in the Los Angeles area, and more recently have been tending a growing family while doing construction work at our ranch. The Waldorf curriculum, experience, and peaceful education has proven to be a perfect fit for all of our family.\nRain Tenaqiya - Enrollment and Outreach Coordinator\nI grew up in the Portland area, graduating from Western Washington University with a degree in terrestrial ecology and a passion for creating sustainable culture. I\u2019ve lived in various intentional communities along the West Coast and owned a permaculture design business in Santa Cruz. I moved to Ukiah in 2004 to create a permaculture demonstration homestead and education center, building a strawbale/cob house and planting lots of fruit and nut trees. I started teaching a sustainable farming class at Mendocino College in 2014 and joined the WSMC office staff in 2016. I have enjoyed learning about and promoting the numerous similar values and strategies of Waldorf education and permaculture design- both share a wholistic approach and aim to create a peaceful, democratic society. I hope that my work at this school contributes to such an outcome.\nSpring Senerchia - Administrator\nI was born and raised in Mendocino County; my childhood was spent outdoors and with books. I graduated from Mountain Meadow Waldorf School (now WSMC) in 1992. Since then I have lived in a Zen Monastary, Guatemala, Santa Cruz, New Mexico and Willits. I have a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Culture, Ecology and Sustainable Community. I have worked for an Intentional Community, in classrooms, offices and commercial kitchens of all sorts, as a Natural Builder and as a mother. In my work I am passionate about supporting individuals towards working effectively within larger organizations that operate out of reverence for the spiritual nature of life, and whose goals are social health and renewal. At WSMC, my daughter, Sylvana (Class 5) daily astounds me with her talents and beauty and my son, Salvio (Class 1), constantly on the cusp of so many discoveries, astounds me with his spontaneous joy. Working here brings together almost all of my passions and deeply held convictions in a way that is deeply satisfying. I am thrilled to work with fantastic colleagues in service to the children of our future.\nI most like to be in wild places and with my family.\nMy best friends are farmers and spiritual seekers.\nCooking and serving excellent food to my friends and family is a great love of mine.",

        "title": "Puerto Rico Hurricane Recovery Status - Metro Airport News",
        "raw_content": "Home Aviation News Puerto Rico Hurricane Recovery Status\nPuerto Rico Hurricane Recovery Status\nNYNJ Port Authority employees inspecting the condition of a roof at San Juan Airport.\nThe combination of aid activity to Puerto Rico from the U.S. Government and private aid groups has been so extensive, that I ran across over 300 blogs and websites with aid packages and places to volunteer or provide financial aid, and I had barely scratched the surface.\nAlthough Department of Defense (DoD) officials have not released a breakdown of the various military forces thus far deployed to Puerto Rico, Gov. Ricardo Rossello said there were roughly 7,200 U.S. military personnel on the ground as of Oct. 2, according to a DoD press release, in addition to an estimated 3,000 non-military federal employees, for a total of more than 10,000 government workers involved in relief efforts.\nThese estimates the federal security workers, police and quasi-government energy and utility people who number in the thousands. The Civil Air Patrol has flown 500 hours of flights over the island providing emergency reports and assessing damage.\nThere are two hospital ships anchored offshore, one of which was the U.S. Comfort, the most modern and well equipped medical ship in the world. Over 40 military transport flights (Military transports such as the C17\u2019s) have landed at San Juan\u2019s airport as of September 20th and this number is probably understated. In addition, as outlined below, the US Aviation industry has done its\u2019 usual great job of supplying aircraft and needed supplies to the island.\nThe number of portable generators and earth moving equipment provided by the US Government is not available at this point. Naval transport vessels delivered this equipment the old-fashioned way, via amphibious landing craft. But some critical equipment arrived via US Marine transport helicopters.\nThe situation is desperate primarily because of island-wide road blockages and lack of electric power. While these problems are gradually being overcome, we are still a long way off before things get even close to normal. Many towns are isolated and have to survive on their own until ground transport can reach them.\nThis article will recap highlights of support primarily from our aviation industry, and we will begin with our own community managed by the Port Authority.\nThe Port Authority Police Hispanic Society (PAPHS) hosted a Hurricane and Earthquake Relief Event to benefit victims in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico, taking in more than $75,000 in donations and supplies.\nPort Authority Puerto Rico Relief Efforts Continue\nDozens of Port Authority employees have journeyed to Puerto Rico over the past few weeks to assist the Commonwealth\u2019s daunting recovery efforts after the unprecedented destruction of Hurricane Maria.\nThe agency\u2019s commitment to the island\u2019s recovery is ongoing. In early October, a second relief team of more than 70 Port Authority volunteers was deployed to Puerto Rico following the first group of 70 who arrived in late September and returned to the bistate region in mid-October. .\n\u201cIn this time of tremendous hardship for the people of Puerto Rico, we\u2019re grateful to be able to contribute any and all available resources to the reconstruction and recovery process,\u201d said Chairman Kevin O\u2019Toole in a statement. \u201cWe stand ready to assist wherever we can.\u201d\nCleanup, recovery and rebuilding efforts have included repairs and debris removal from San Juan Luis Mu\u00f1oz Marin International Airport and residential buildings, search and-rescue operations, and security support, among other forms of assistance.\nThe deployment includes members of the agency\u2019s Aviation, Port and Engineering departments, as well as the Port Authority Police Department. This group traveled to Puerto Rico September 28-29, and most are scheduled to stay until October 13. As part of a mutual aid network responding to natural disasters, Port Authority officials were asked to share manpower and technical skills after the storm left Puerto Rico in ruins.\n\u201cYou can\u2019t help but be moved by the devastation the people of Puerto Rico have suffered,\u201d said Steven Pawlak of the Office of Emergency Management, part of the Port Authority\u2019s response team. \u201cWe\u2019re doing everything we can, using whatever it takes to help our friends here restore some semblance of normalcy to their lives.\u201d\nThe response of agency staff during a disaster \u2013 regardless of the region impacted \u2013 is always the same: It\u2019s swift, organized, and guided by an untiring dedication to the public.\nUsing their skills and expertise to help restore normal operations, Aviation staff work to repair a damaged terminal roof at San Juan\u2019s San Juan Luis Mu\u00f1oz Marin International Airport.\nFedEx and UPS Step Up to Provide Hurricane Relief\nTransport and logistics giants donate cash and transportation services to aid survivors of Maria.\nTransport and logistics giants FedEx Corp. and UPS Inc. have stepped in to provide extensive disaster relief aid packages and support following the epic trio of storms that ravaged Caribbean islands in September.\nMemphis, Tenn.-based FedEx has pledged $3 million in cash and transportation support, leveraging its logistics network to help numerous relief agencies respond to the disasters. The company works with the agencies to deliver supplies such as water treatment systems, blankets, cleanup kits, and comfort kits, FedEx said.\nAtlanta-based UPS also announced wide-ranging disaster relief initiatives, including a commitment of $2 million in aid. In addition, the company flew air freighters to Puerto Rico under contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to deliver Meals, Ready to Eat (MREs) to victims and is coordinating with the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to deliver tarps, hygiene kits, mosquito nets, liquid containers, and shelter tool kits to storm survivors in Cuba.\nJetBlue and Atlas Air crewmembers load a 747 aircraft with more than 110 tons of supplies to assist in recovery efforts in Puerto Rico.\nJetBlue Teams With Atlas Air World-Wide to Deliver Tons of Supplies\nJetBlue, the largest airline in Puerto Rico, along with Atlas Air Worldwide, have sent over 110 tons of supplies to Puerto Rico in recovery efforts following Hurricane Maria. JetBlue\u2019s initiative, 100\u00d735 JetBlue, is a commitment to launch 35 initiatives in the next 100 days. This will help support JetBlue employees and communities impacted in Puerto Rico.\nPhil Jensen, Worldwide Flight Services (WFS);\nRene Roth, JetBlue; Eric Cintas, JetBlue.\n100X35 JetBlue is in reference to Puerto Rico\u2019s 100\u00d735 mile size. This program will continue to help provide residents with needed supplies and goods, as well as rebuilding efforts.\nThe airline has taken donations from organizations such as the American Red Cross and Food Bank for New York City. Atlas Air partnered with JetBlue by operating a Boeing 747 between New York and San Juan. While Atlas Air is doing the transporting, JetBlue is handling the logistics of the supplies in Puerto Rico.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve been sending relief supplies to Puerto Rico since the first day flights were allowed onto the island following Hurricane Maria,\u201d said Icema Gibbs, director corporate social responsibility, JetBlue.\nHorses, Zoo Animals and Dairy Cows Receive Relief from JFK\nThe local airport\\airline community has come together to support the survivors of the hurricanes in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. One of those individuals we were lucky enough to meet is Dr. Scarlette Gotwals of Horse America who is focused on providing relief to the horses, zoo animals and dairy cows in Puerto Rico. Horse America is based out of Oley, PA. They are a concierge service that coordinates logistics for horses that are using air transport. Scarlette is using her time and talent to coordinate the logistics of procuring feed and supplies, arranging transport and ensuring boots on the ground in PR are able to deliver to the needy farms. She can be found staging operations out of The Ark at JFK, on the phone and emailing constantly; trying to find space on airplanes, scheduling truckers, making sure the pallets can be built and loaded onto the planes all on the schedule of the airlines.\nScarlette is working with the support of Eric Cintas from JetBlue, Phil Jensen from WFS, Jonathan Cutler from RanchAid.org, David Fink from Heidel Farm, John Cuticelli from The Ark, the USDA, FEMA and many others to get the impossible done. Her compassion for the animals living in dire conditions and her tenacity for logistics make her unstoppable.\nCollectively, what these people did was nothing short of amazing, according to Dr. Scarlette Gotwals\n\u201cA hundred things had to fall into place,\u201d Gotwals said. \u201cIt was an incredible process. It was done by people from across the country. I had never met in person any one of the persons I just worked with, but we all just rolled up our sleeves and dug in together and everyone fit their roll. The other people knew each other, but I was new on the scene and my focus was just a logistics and persistence of finding flight space.\u201d\n\u201cPhil Jensen and I were talking about five to 10 times a day because we kept trying to get charters,\u201d she said.\nAfter a few days of frustration, a break came through when JetBlue Airlines sponsored a 747 flight with Atlas Air as the carrier. JetBlue\u2019s Eric Cintas and Renee Roth were particularly instrumental in providing the flight.\n\u201cJetBlue recognizing the need to help the horses that hadn\u2019t gotten any feed and allowing us the honor of being part of their charity flight was just incredible because it\u2019s very expensive to fly,\u201d Gotwals said.\nThey have already flown down 50,000 pounds of feed and supplies. The mission continues as long as the need exists. They are staging another 26,000 pounds waiting for belly space to become available. For information on how to help provide relief to the animals, contact www.ranchaid.org.\nUS Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Wrapping Up Maria Mission\nCAP aircraft from the mainland are expected to return home this weekend, but flights are expected to continue through the early part of next week \u2014 likely supported by Puerto Rico Wing planes and aircrews with minimal augmentation by mainland crews.\nMaria\u2019s impact on Puerto Rico\u2019s infrastructure has posed challenges for CAP members, particularly the local CAP wing\u2019s nearly 400 adult officers. One is Capt. Luis J. Herrera, the wing\u2019s inspector general, who lives in Bayamon, just south of San Juan.\n\u201cThe last four weeks have been challenging, to say the least,\u201d he said. \u201cPower, water, cell phones, everything that we took for granted has been taken away from us. We did prepare for a hurricane, but we weren\u2019t prepared for a disaster.\n\u201cHurricane Maria has been the worst event with the biggest devastation I have ever experienced,\u201d Herrera said.Slowly but surely, progress is being made toward recovery.\n\u201cMy family and I are living within a schedule that we\u2019ve created,\u201d Herrera said. \u201cWe have a portable generator that can be run for several hours a day. So we run it several times a day to try to keep the fridge as cold as possible, to charge our electronic devices from time to time, and to turn some fans on to try to cool down the house a little.\u201d\n\u201cIn CAP, we train for situations like this, and when the time comes we are honored to step forward and be able to help. In a sense, serving with CAP in this emergency has helped me to focus my thoughts into productive ideas that can contribute to the mission\u2019s goals,\u201d he said.\nCivil Air Patrol, the longtime all-volunteer U.S. Air Force auxiliary, is the newest member of the Air Force\u2019s Total Force. In this role, CAP operates a fleet of 560 aircraft, performs about 90 percent of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 80 lives annually. CAP\u2019s 57,000 members also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. CAP also plays a leading role in aerospace/STEM education, and its members serve as mentors to 24,000 young people participating in CAP\u2019s Cadet Programs. Visit www.GoCivilAirPatrol.com for more information.\nAir Partner in Aid Flights for Hurricane Relief Effort\nAir Partner has carried out a number of urgent freight charters across the Caribbean in recent weeks to support the relief effort in the wake of Hurricanes Irma and Maria.\nThe flights were operated on behalf of governments, NGOs, charities and commercial entities to a number of islands in the region, including Puerto Rico, Cuba and Guadeloupe.\nCargo flown includes generators, four-wheel drive vehicles, bottled water and humanitarian aid, which was required to reached those affected in the most efficient and time-effective way possible.\nAircraft used ranged from private jets to Antonov AN-124s, one of which was in fact among the first aircraft to land at San Juan Airport in Puerto Rico after it reopened.\n\u201cSince many islands suffered communication difficulties in the immediate aftermath of the storms, Air Partner\u2019s representatives on the ground closely co-ordinated cargo delivery, aircraft loading, aircraft handling and landing requests,\u201d the company said.\n\u201cWith aircraft availability changing at very short notice, forward planning was crucial to ensuring the successful operation of these flights.\u201d\nLufthansa adds support with dedicated freighter\nLufthansa Group has deployed an MD-11 freighter from Frankfurt Airport to Aguadilla, on the West Coast of Puerto Rico, to join the humanitarian efforts throughout the island after the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria.\nSituated in this region is a Lufthansa Technical Site where 400 colleagues are helping local communities nearby.\nThe Lufthansa Cargo aircraft flew into Rafael Hern\u00e1ndez International Airport in Puerto Rico after a refueling stopover at Atlanta Airport. The freighter was loaded with 80 tons of drinking water, apparel, food provisions and hygienic supplies for the relief effort.\nThe Lufthansa Group is working closely with the local US authorities to obtain the necessary coordination and support for the comprehensive relief-aid operation. In Germany, participants of this relief effort have predominantly been Hassia, the Metro Group, as well as LSG Skychefs with donations.\nK\u00fchne & Nagel, Georgi and Orgalog helped with transport services. The project was organized and implemented by HelpAlliance, the charitable aid organization of the Lufthansa Group.",

Mr Russell and myself were on hand to watch Kisarna B (Year 9 - 10th) in the javelin, Zoe C (Year 9 - 11th) in long jump, and Emily R (Year 7 - 4th) in shot put compete for Victoria in the National Championships over the weekend before turning out attention to our team of six compete against the best schools in the country for the 2016 National Schools Knockouts Final.\nOur team of six won the Victorian Championships and were now competing against the top 4 teams in every State for the National Championship. Kisarna, Zoe and Emily were joined by Teiki W (Year 9), Milly W (Year 7) and Sophie B (Year 7) to participate in 7 events throughout the day. Team MGSC dominated the Junior Girls competition by winning the javelin (Kisarna), long jump (Zoe) and shot put (Emily), 2nd in the 4x200m relay (Zoe, Teiki, Kisarna and Milly), and 3rd in the hurdles (Zoe) and 800m (Kisarna). We also had Milly (11th) and Teiki (21st) in the 100m, and Sophie finish (14th) in the 800m. All of our results meant that we finished with a total of 203 points which put us in 2nd spot and a Silver Medal.\nI would like to extend a huge thank you to Erina Cunningham for all of her help and support over the last year in preparation for this event. I would also like to thank the parents and families who came to Canberra to support their daughter and Team MGSC - James and Andrea Webster, Paul Bolmat and Dianne Lewis-Nixon, Milly and Sarsha Berntsen, Katie Ryan, Cam Cunningham, and Shane and Lou Waata. Lastly, a big thank you to the MGSC school community who donated their time and money at the barbeque fundraisers and had a guess with the Jelly Bean contest, as well as the SRC committee for their donation as well.",

        "raw_content": "The BU Law Review is produced by the Law Department and published by the Faculty of Media and Communication at Bournemouth University.\nThe journal is a unique academic publication based on co-creation and one which synthesises participation from students and academics alike, involving students in various stages of the innovation process and combining academic legal review with the creativity of the media faculty. It is designed to encourage interest in matters pertaining to law, extending beyond merely that of the curriculum to the broad and unique issues arising from the relationship of the law to other disciplines.\nAt the heart of this project is a desire to showcase some of the excellent academic research being undertaken by our law students at all levels of study. It is also an opportunity to work collaboratively with students to co-create and produce some lasting academic articles, to provide a legacy and opportunity for new and former students alike.\nThe journal has been a product of slow germination. It started its journey back in 2015 as a concept and became a reality in 2016 following the setting up of a staff\u2013student editorial board followed by funding from the Centre for Excellence in Learning (CEL) awarded to Professor Dinusha Mendis and Miss Megan Mayers (final year law student), which facilitated the process.\nWe would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped to make the journal a reality, particularly the editorial team as well as the Faculty of Media and Communication marketing and design teams. We are also grateful for the support extended by the Faculty in launching the first issue.\nIn the first issue, we have selected a series of essays written by students across a range of core legal subjects and levels of study. We plan to develop a thematic approach to future issues but will continue to seek contributions across our student body. This is very much the beginning of our journey, and we hope to see this journal evolve to create a genuine scholarly academic contribution in the discipline of law.\nThe BULR places us in an exclusive group of law schools which publish their own law journals. We hope you enjoy this and future issues of the journal.\nDinusha Mendis (Editor-in-Chief)\nProfessor of Intellectual Property & Innovation Law, Co-Director CIPPM\nJeffrey Wale (Assistant Editor)\nLecturer in Law, LLB Framework, Programme Leader\nEditorial BoardWelcome message from the Dean",

        "title": "Diary by Corinne Day \u2013 review by Leanne Benson. | Monsters & Madonnas",
        "raw_content": "\u2190 How to Make a Photobook [Like Edward Curtis]\nContemporary Photo Books from Argentina selected by Marcelo Brodsky \u2192\nDiary by Corinne Day \u2013 review by Leanne Benson.\nPosted on November 14, 2012\tby icplibrary\n\u201cGood friends make you face the truth\nabout yourself and you do the same for\nthem, as painful, or as pleasurable, as\nthe truth may be.\u201d\nThis paragraph is on the back of Corinne Day\u2019s autobiographical photo book Diary.\nI first opened Corinne Day\u2019s Diary 12 years ago. Fittingly it was a gift from a new friend in my first year of Art College. The body of work means a lot to me, firstly, because it was the only photography book I owned at that point. And secondly it set the tone of a new friendship. We embarked on a different kind of relationship than I had with my old, comfortable school friends. She was someone who I could embrace the darker side of my personality with, say anything, do anything, be myself and not be judged.\nThis, is the essence of Corinne Day\u2019s Diary.\nThe book is a collection of photographs spanning ten years of Corinne Day\u2019s life. You\u2019ve got some shockers in there from bloody knickers on the floor of an apartment to a nice looking guy in a cozy cardigan shooting up. You have Day herself smoking heroin and touching herself in bed and it goes on. When I attended the exhibition of this book at the Photographers Gallery in London (2000), I remembered hearing more than one person being disgusted, and laughing uncomfortably at the contents of her day-to-day life being so public. (Probably not Larry Clark or Nan Goldin fans!) Though now being older, I can understand better that kind of reaction, at the time, being only 20 and Day being my heroine, I was defensive. I felt frustrated that they did not manage to see the beauty and honesty in this story and could not understand the depth of the friendships that were being shown to them. Through all the photographs of naked boys and girls, lines of ketamine being racked up, dirty squats, bad tattoos and people having sex, is a gorgeous story of Corinne Day, her life and her friends during the 1990\u2019s in London.\nTara seems to be Day\u2019s best friend and some of the photographs of her are really heart wrenching. I think it\u2019s the 3rd photograph into the book entitled \u201ctara crying at home stoknewington 1999\u201d that really gets me. She\u2019s looking straight on into the camera smoking a rollup and everything about her face tells you she\u2019s probably only on a two-second break from launching back into sobs, about what, we don\u2019t know.\nLater on in the book we see another photo of her hysterical, her hands are midway through that despairing shaking that happens only when you are uncontrollably sobbing your heart out. Then, to counter these photos, you see Tara doing things like emptying the baby pool looking all purposeful and busy, on a holiday in Wales laughing on the floor decorated in Christmas tinsel, and a favorite of mine, covered in mud in the garden smiling having a smoke. They all have a kind of homely quality to them. Due to the way in which you are introduced to Tara, you may find that these photos genuinely make you smile for her, which gives you an inkling of how pulled into these peoples\u2019 lives you suddenly find yourself.\nDay goes on to show us other aspects of her life than just Tara. Her Nan\u2019s 84th birthday, friends like Andy, Bow, Georgina, Vinca, Tania, Yank amongst lots more. You are given clues to their personalities and start to form opinions about who you like and maybe dislike and maybe (if you are a 20 year old art student) who you would want to hang out with. Day used to be a model and we see some of her friends who are in the same industry, like Georgina Cooper (below), who went on to have a successful modeling career.\nWe meet Day\u2019s boyfriend Mark and see they live on Brewer street in London\u2019s Soho, a seedy yet upcoming, very central area of London. This gives a nod to the fact that Day was already a successful fashion photographer, who had been the person to bring Kate Moss into the world of modeling. Day also had shot for Vogue though, apart from the Brewer street address, you wouldn\u2019t guess these facts.\nHalfway through the book you get slapped in the face with an image of Day sitting on a bed picking her nails and trying not to cry, the title is \u201cMe after the doctor told me I had a brain tumor Bellvue Hospital New York 1996\u201d.\nThis image stops you in your tracks and you heart sinks but as you go on, you see her go down for surgery, recovering, being visited in hospital by her family, Mark and Tara. You feel genuinely relieved that your storyteller is ok and carry on. More photos of Tara and her baby, Andy dancing and holding a rifle, Bow having sex, Tania dyeing her hair and Yank trying on high heel shoes. Then the end. Then you miss everyone and have to open it up and start again.\nLike I mentioned previously, the beauty of this book is the strength of the friendships that you are privileged to be witnessing. You end up with a strong investment in the characters and wonder what they might be doing now. I\u2019ve been enjoying this book for nearly 13 years and have never gotten bored, it is really one of the best presents I have ever been given. I can imagine that the glamorization of the world of drugs might dull these photos for some. But be patient when looking, as they are more than a load of 20-somethings getting high and having sex. Bare in mind, her photographs of Kate Moss almost naked in a dingy apartment in the early 1990\u2019s were printed in The Face magazine and it\u2019s been said they sparked the Heroin Chic trend in the UK. With Diary she\u2019s giving us her inspirations and her passions to mull over. Who wouldn\u2019t be interested in what could essentially be an artist\u2019s sketchbook? Day is giving us a gem.\nIn 2010 the photographer\u2019s brain tumor claimed her life. Diary is a memento for those of us inspired by her unique eye.\nTR820.5.G7 .D39 2000\nDiary by Corinne Day ; edited by Michael Mack.\nLeanne Benson is a young British photographer, who has just returned from living in NYC for 18 months where she was developing her portfolio and interning at various places, including at ICP. Now back in London, she is working as a freelance photographer. Documentary and environmental portraiture are her favourite types of photography to shoot and to admire.

        "raw_content": "Every Sunday we\u2019ll recommend you a classic album to go back and listen to, helping you to finish off your week in the right way. This week it\u2019s the calmly brilliant \u2018Ashes and Fire\u2019 by Ryan Adams.\nThe album opens with \u2018Dirty Rain\u2019, which sets the tone for the remainder of the track listing; this is certainly one of Adams\u2019 more tranquil records. The song is dashed with fantastic lyricism and vocals that are delivered with a lot of soul. The chorus in particular really fires the track into life and plays out as a fantastic starting point.\nThe title track \u2018Ashes and Fire\u2019 is definitely one of the most upbeat moments of the record. The constant acoustic chord progression that fills the song works well with the descriptive, story-telling style lyrics that Adams has come to be known for. Ryan Adams drew in comparisons to Bob Dylan when he released his first album and it\u2019s fair to say that Dylan was a likely influence here.\nThe song \u2018Do I wait\u2019 is likely to sound the most familiar to you if you\u2019ve heard Ryan\u2019s other work and it features some of the best lyrics on the entire album. The record has a minimalistic sound throughout it\u2019s runtime but this track builds upon it\u2019s sound as it progresses. The electric guitar solo that rips its way into the song around the 2:30 mark is a moment that fully pays off and it\u2019s this kind of sound that you can tell likely led Adams down the path to his 2014 self-titled record.\n\u2018Chains of Love\u2019 is a perfectly uplifting moment and one of the most important pillars of the albums structure. The shortest song on here but it really shows the strengths to Adams\u2019 relentless song writing abilities. It\u2019s the best song on the record and one of the finest moments in Ryan Adams\u2019 huge musical back catalogue. This track has everything: fantastic lyrics, magically melodic guitar playing and an overall sound that sends your mind to another place entirely.\nThe song that you\u2019re most likely to have heard even if you don\u2019t own this record is \u2018Lucky Now\u2019. This track shows Ryan at the top of his game when it comes to songwriting. With an enormously memorable chorus and verses that paint an everlasting picture in the mind of the listener, you\u2019ll have this song stuck in your head all day when you listen to it but, you certainly won\u2019t catch yourself complaining about it.\nAlbum closer \u2018I Love You but I Don\u2019t Know What to Say\u2019 is tremendously tender and wears every emotion on it\u2019s sleeve. The soft piano interludes sound definitive and add an extra element to the song; the drumming is faint but works fantastically well here and throughout the entirety of the record.\nAshes and Fire by Ryan Adams\n\u2018Ashes and Fire\u2019 is not to be missed and if you didn\u2019t catch it originally when it released in 2011, now is the perfect time to introduce yourself to it and start your year off with a great album by one of the best songwriters of our time.\nFinish your week the right way by listening to this brilliantly soothing record on Spotify here. Check back next Sunday for our next weekly recommendation and expect more content to be posted as usual throughout the week.\nPosted in Classic Album Review, Sunday SoundsTagged Album, Ashes and Fire, Mortal Vibrations, Music, Pax AM, Ryan Adams\nPrev 2018 Albums of The Year\nNext Radiohead \u2013 Ill Wind \u2013 Track Review",

        "raw_content": "TRUMP ANNOUNCES US MOVING EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM\nWith Vice President Mike Pence looking on, US President Donald Trump gives a statement on Jerusalem, during which he recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House in Washington, US, December 6, 2017. (photo credit: REUTERS/KEVIN LAMARQUE)\nSEOUL -- President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the US recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital and would move its embassy there, upending decades of a diplomatic consensus over the status of the city pioneered by his predecessors.\nCiting a 1995 law, the Jerusalem Embassy Act, compelling the president make the move absent national security risks, Trump said the time had come to recognize what everyone already knows to be true. \"Jerusalem is the capital the Jewish people established in ancient times,\" he said. \"Today Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's government.\"\n\"This is nothing more or less than a recognition of the reality,\" he added.\nHe directed the State Department to begin preparing the move, which may take years as the government scopes out a location, hires architects and plans for what is sure to be a challenging security environment.\nTrump made the announcement despite fierce opposition from America's closest allies in recent days. European and Arab world leaders alike, including Britain, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and the pope, said that he was recklessly challenging a delicate status quo over the city, in which the international community has insisted its future must be determined in direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians themselves.\nTrump said that his move does not change his commitment to that negotiated settlement\u2013 and underscored his commitment by endorsing a two-state solution for the first time.\n\"We want an agreement that is a great deal for the Israelis and a great deal for the Palestinians,\" he said. \"The United States would support a two state solution if agreed to by both sides.\"\nUS President Donald Trump recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital and announces embassy to relocate\nTrump said that his actions on Wednesday do not determine the \"specific boundaries of Israeli sovereignty\" in the city, stating those would be \"subject to final status negotiations between the parties.\" The Israeli government says that Jerusalem is its undivided and eternal capital, while Palestinians insist that a peace agreement must deliver them a sovereign state with a capital of its own in the city's eastern districts.\n\"We are not taking a position on any final status issues,\" Trump said. To that end, Nikki Haley, the US envoy to the UN, said the administration would not be \u201ctaking sides\u201d on the fate of East Jerusalem.\nBut the international community did not immediately interpret Trump's moves in this way. Antonio Guterres, the UN secretary-general, made remarks to the press shortly after Trump spoke urging calm, amid warnings from the State Department itself that violence may erupt following Trump's announcement.\n\"Jerusalem is a final status issue that must be resolved in final status negotiations between the two parties,\" Guterres stated. \"In this moment of great tension, I want to make it clear there is no alternative to the two-state solution. There is no Plan B.\"\nFrance's president, Emmanuel Macron, also called the decision \"regrettable\" and said the status of Jerusalem was not for one country to decide, but a matter of international security, of consensus and of law. And Britain's prime minister, Theresa May, characterized the move as \"unhelpful\" to the prospects for peace in the region.\n\"We disagree with the US decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem and recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital before a final status agreement,\" May said. \"The British Embassy to Israel is based in Tel Aviv and we have no plans to move it.\"\n\"We encourage the US administration to now bring forward detailed proposals for an Israel-Palestinian settlement,\" she added. \"To have the best chances of success, the peace process must be conducted in an atmosphere free from violence. We call on all parties to work together to maintain calm.\"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praises 'historic' Trump decision on Jerusalem\nThe administration's closest allies in the Arab world, on which it based its upcoming Mideast peace initiative, strongly condemned the move. Egypt said it refused to recognize it and warned of grave consequences. Turkey threatened to sever ties to Israel and the State Department's office for embassy security warned of planned protests in all of its major cities.\nDespite unanimous international protest, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the administration had consulted partners ahead of the decision and that his team \"firmly believes there is an opportunity for a lasting peace.\"\nA senior White House official told The Jerusalem Post that Trump's Middle East peace team, led by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner and special representative for international negotiations Jason Greenblatt, was a consultative partner on the decision and fully supports the move.\n\"The peace team was fully aware of this and in the loop,\" the official said. \"Certain parties are going to react the way they need to react. We expect bumps along the way\u2013 but we believe there is an historic opportunity.\"\nGreenblatt wrote on Twitter that Trump's speech was a \"courageous\" effort to recognize the current and historic reality of the city's status. His team is committed to pressing on, he continued, no matter how angrily parties react in the short term.\nTrump castigated past presidents as cowardly for failing to make the move earlier, \"under the belief that delaying recognition of Jerusalem would advance the cause of peace.\"\n\"The record is in,\" he added. \"After two decades of waivers, we are no closer to a lasting peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.\"\nEast Jerusalem remains quiet ahead of Trump's announcement, December 6, 2017. (Udi Shaham)\n\"Old challenges demand new approaches. My announcement today marks the beginning of a new approach,\" Trump said in his announcement from the White House diplomatic reception room, flanked by Vice President Mike Pence, who has pushed for the move. Pence will be visiting Israel later this month.\nMembers of Israel's cabinet have praised the move as \"destined\" and \"overdue.\" And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement praising Trump's action.\n\"We're profoundly grateful to the president for the courageous and just decision,\" Netanyahu said, calling the move one in furtherance of peace, \"because there is no peace that does not include Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.\"\n\"This decision reflects the president's commitment to an ancient and enduring truth,\" he added.\nBut the Palestinians have warned this marks a potentially fatal blow to Trump's burgeoning peace initiative, and Hamas has called for a new intifada\u2013 a violent uprising\u2013 in response.\nIn a forceful speech, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas rejected Trump's claim that his move was actually a step towards peace\u2013 and said that, with his actions, the US had relinquished its historic role as broker.\n\"The US administration with this statement has chosen to go against all the international and bilateral agreements, and to ignore the international consensus,\" Abbas said in a televised address. \"The United States is withdrawing from the role it has played in the peace process.\"\nAbbas recounted Christian and Muslim history in the contested city, known in the Arab world as al-Quds, without acknowledging any Jewish history there.\n\"It's an attempt to change our history, and it will not succeed,\" he said. \"It's a Palestinian city\u2013 an Arab city, a Christian city and a Muslim city.\"\nA day of rage is expected in the ancient city, and regionwide, on Friday.",

        "raw_content": "At Nepean Naturopathic Centre we often we have patients asking us why our products are better (and sometimes a little more pricey) than something similar they could grab at the chemist. We aim to stock only the highest quality, Practitioner Only supplements and herbal products for our patients to help achieve excellent treatment results. So here are a few reasons why\u2026\nPractitioner only companies are required to complete quality assurance tests on all of their products and raw materials so as consumers you can be sure that the standard of the products you are taking is high and effective. These standards are regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration; if you\u2019d like to know more about their work, click here.\nThe quality of our liquid herbs, the type that is used in all our herbal mixtures, is of the utmost importance for effective treatment. Tests and studies have shown that official \u2018Practitioner Only\u2019 liquid products can have up to 50% MORE of the active parts of the herb in the liquid, compared to other brands.\nAnother study was conducted on retail Echinacea products in the US. Out of the twelve products tested, only two were made up of 100% authentic product. One of the products was completely filled with contaminants, another four contained 50% filler/non-medicinal products, while seven products contained at least 40% of a substitute product.\nPractitioner Only products have also been shown to contain levels of heavy metals in fish oil products that are up to ten times LESS than the Australian Standard. Environmental contaminants, like pesticides, and chemicals that cause fish oils to go rancid were also detected at much lower levels than Australian Standard and therefore other similar retail products.\nThese sorts of products are also present within Australia due to the lack of ability to screen all of products on the market. Practitioner Only products are held to a higher standard so that you can rest assured knowing that they are safe and contain high quality ingredients than other retail alternatives.\nhttp://theconversation.com/herbal-medicines-adulterated-contaminated-or-just-plain-missing-its-an-international-scandal-6060\n2 . http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp0904768#t=article",

        "raw_content": "Andreas November 20, 2017 No Comments Gadget News, Health Gadgets\nA cool gadget that checks the air quality at home and office.\nArguably one of the biggest hazards people living in urban areas have to deal with today is air pollution. Industrialization and technological advancements have given useful things like the airplane and the radio, complex manufacturing processes and the ability to power heavy-duty machinery.\nHowever, all of these has come at a price. The planet isn\u2019t as green as it once was and global air quality has deteriorated a great deal. While CO2 might be great for plants and other floral species, it isn\u2019t exactly peachy for human beings. As a result, the prevalence of respiratory infections has increased considerably as have diseases like lung cancer, tracheal cancer, and bronchitis just to mention a few.\nDo you check air quality in your home?\nThere are numerous health benefits associated with carefully monitoring the quality of the air that you breathe. The effect of poor air quality become apparent over time and because breathing poor air doesn\u2019t get you ill overnight, many people tend not to pay particular attention to this truly vital aspect of their health and wellbeing. Add to this, the hectic schedules that many people have to navigate on a daily basis, there seemingly isn\u2019t enough time to worry about the nasty particulate matter in the air.\nCheck air quality indoors.\nKeeping yourself safe from the polluted air is something that involves a lot of activities and precautionary measures. These can range from simply shutting the windows when it gets windy outside or not cracking open the car windows when driving during the summer. What if there was a handy gizmo that could help you with monitoring air quality? Well, there is\u2026\nIn this article, the AirVisual Node will be discussed in some detail.\nAlso read: Sunrise Smart Pillow analyze your sleep\nWhat does this gadget do?\nThe AirVisual Node boasts a stunning, sleek, and attractive ring-shaped design. The curved edges are well-rounded, making the device add a certain standout appeal wherever it is placed. In terms of size and weight, it is handy and easy to carry about if needed, with an appreciable screen size that helps you easily read the information displayed on it. The device buttons are also easily located on the top making it simple to use even when busy or in a hurry.\nA companion phone app for those who wish to monitor air quality on the go, is also available, as well as a dedicated website.\nThe AirVisual Node is also more than just a fancy design as it packs a host of rich features and functions. It has vents on both the top and bottom of the device, with a tiny fan that works constantly in the background. An air quality monitoring device would be incomplete without sensors that actually monitor air quality and this device comes fully loaded with all the essentials. It has sensors for all the major air quality parameters. This device also comes with a rechargeable battery, WiFi capability, as well as a Micro USB power input.\nThe AirVisual Node can be used for indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring.\nDisplay: This device comes with a 5-inch color LED display, with an 800 x 480 screen resolution which means there is no difficulty in reading information off the screen. You can adjust the brightness of the screen display as the device comes with an adjustable brightness setting. There are 5 levels to which you can adjust the brightness depending on your preference.\nLed Display with visible feedback on air quality.\nSensors: The AirVisual Node is packed full with all the necessary air quality monitoring sensors. What\u2019s more, unlike many air quality monitoring devices on the market, the AirVisual Node makes use of actual premium-grade sensors that deliver medical-grade readings. There is a CO2 sensor, a PM2.5 sensor, as well as sensors for temperature and humidity measurements.This device uses the SenseAir S8 Sensor for measuring CO2 levels. This sensor is a mini NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) sensor that also has a calibrated ABC sensor. The PM2.5 sensor is the legacy AirVisual AVPM25b sensor that can analyze both PM2.5 and PM10 values. There are also sensors for temperature and humidity and both have the ability to handle a wide range of temperature and humidity values.\nAccuracy: One of the advantages of incorporating high-quality, medical grade sensors in a device like this is that you can be sure of accurate readings. The SenseAir S8 sensor for CO2 measurements has an accuracy of \u00b10.02% volume CO2 \u00b13% of reading. The AVPM25b sensor for PM2.5 measurements has an accuracy of \u00b18% of reading. This sensor also has the ability to detect particle sizes ranging from o.3\u03bcm \u2013 2.5\u03bcm.\nPower Options: The device comes with a rechargeable 1,850mAh Li-Ion battery that delivers up to 5 hours of power on a full charge. There is also a Micro USB power input that allows you to hook up your device to a solar panel or an external power pack to provide power when you need to use the device for a longer period of time.\nConnect it to a smartphone app.\nDevice Buttons: Interaction on the box itself is done with 4 device buttons which have been placed on top of it to ensure optimal user experience. These buttons help the user to adjust the settings on the device to suit the user\u2019s preferences.\nOff-grid Functionality: This device has off-grid functionality, which means that it can function without an internet connection. This is especially useful when the device has to be used in remote areas that do not have access to communication infrastructure.\nConnectivity: The Node comes with lots of handy features that ensure maximum connectivity. It has WiFi 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz capability. It also has an internal SBM server which means it can access MacOS, Windows and Linux Machines. It has a companion smartphone app which is compatible with both Android and iOS platforms.\nMemory: This premium-quality air monitoring device has an internal memory of 3GB.\nThe user turns on the device and is asked to connect to a nearby WiFi network. There are two ways to do this; with the device or through a paired smartphone. It is a lot easier to use a smartphone since it will most probably be a touchscreen device. The gadget doesn\u2019t have a touchscreen and using the previously mentioned device buttons to connect to WiFi might be a bit tedious. Another reason why using a smartphone is more practical is if your WiFi password is a complicated one with alphanumeric and special characters as trying to use the device buttons to select these characters will be time-consuming. Once this step is completed, your device is ready to for use.\nWhen in operation, the 5-inch color screen display of the Node shows two faces, one each on the left and on the right. If the face is a green smiling face, it means that air quality is good but if the face is a red masked face, then it means that air quality is poor. If you wish for a more detailed analysis of the air quality, you can make the switch from facial indicators to a dial indicator. The dial indicator provides information on the degree of air pollution in parts per million.\nThe sensors monitor their respective air quality parameters and the measurements can be read from the device itself or from the companion smartphone app. There is also a historical chart which shows the readings that have been obtained during a specific time period. This historical chart can be calibrated to display hourly, daily, weekly or monthly readings, depending on the preference of the user.\nHere is a video that shows you more:\nWhere to buy AirVisual Node\nThe Node, hailed as the world\u2019s smartest air monitor is made by the AirVisual team from Hong Kong, China. For many years, AirVisual as a company has collected air quality data from around the globe. They have now leveraged all of their research knowledge and expertise to create this unique air monitoring device. The Startup was spearheaded by Kelsey Duska, Yann Boquillod, and Jiao Nan, and they were able to raise over $64,000 from 339 backers from funding through Indiegogo.\nWhat\u2019s in the box, unboxing.\nIt is also available on Amazon, so if you want to be safe and check air quality in or outside your home and office, this is the gadget for you.

        "raw_content": "Kenji Bunch\u2019s Snow Queen\ufeff\nKenji Bunch (1973- ) is a musician whose name has made it to my personal orbit many times but this is my first encounter with his music and what an encounter it is! This two disc set comprises a full length ballet commissioned and performed by the Eugene (Oregon) Ballet.\nKenj Bunch\nBunch is an American composer who hails from Portland, Oregon the child of a Japanese mother and a Scottish father. He studied at Julliard and this is approximately the 18th CD release to contain his music (if I counted correctly). A prolific composer, one can find a decent listing of his compositions on his website. And he was a violist performing with the esteemed Portland Youth Philharmonic from 1986-1991/\nThere are at least two symphonies, numerous soloists and orchestra pieces as well as solo instrumental music. Though I\u2019ve heard just snippets of his music aside from the disc under review here I think I can safely say that his style can be described as essentially tonal, even perhaps somewhat conservative, but the accessible qualities of his music do not translate into mediocrity. Quite the contrary, he is a very exciting composer and his style seems very well suited to an undertaking such as this ballet. Bunch appears to be a master of orchestral color and he uses it to great effect here.\nThe two discs comprise 23 tracks much like one would expect of most classical ballets. The individual movements are 3-10 minutes approximately and they correspond to specific scenes that tell the classic story of the classic Hans Christian Andersen story. No doubt cost is the barrier which precluded a DVD release which looks like it was a gorgeous production.\nIt is at least this writer\u2019s impression that much of classical ballet music does not do well without the visuals of the dance. I am referring to 19th century models such as Coppelia whose music might be best performed in excerpted suites if dancers are not a part of the performance. Bunch\u2019s ballet is more in the spirit of perhaps Prokofiev or Stravinsky wherein the music stands quite well on its own and even does a great job of evoking the images of the given scenes. Basically the music stands on its own as a narrative.\nOrchestra NEXT is a training orchestra and resident ensemble with the Eugene Ballet Company. They handle this complex and musically challenging score with seeming ease under music director Brian McWhorter.\nThere is little doubt that those who were fortunate enough to see this fully staged production will appreciate the opportunity to relive their memories by hearing again the recorded score. But this will likely appeal to most fans of new music as well. It is a major work by a composer who deserves serious attention. This writer will certainly be listening.\nThis entry was posted in 21st century, classical music, composers, Julliard, modern music, music, music theater, new music, new music, music, modern music, classical music, experimental music, new jazz, free jazz, john cage, composers and tagged ballet, Brian McWhorter, dance music, Delibes, Eugene Ballet Company, Innova, Kenji Bunch, New Music, Orchestra NEXT, Orchestral Music, Portland Youth Philharmonic, Prokofiev, Stravinsky.\n\u2190 Shared Meanings in the Film Music of Philip Glass by Tristian Evans\n\ufeffDark Queen Mantra, Celebrating Terry Riley at 80 \u2192",

The Dads Association at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign recently presented its annual Certificate of Merit Awards - one each to an outstanding staff member and an outstanding faculty member at the university.\nJean Seibold, a resource and policy analyst with the department of accountancy since 1995, was named the 2004 Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Staff Member. Seibold's duties include assisting with financial management, with the planning of all annual departmental symposia, and with the development of technology resources for faculty and doctoral students. She also serves as the department's webmaster.\nAccording to a letter nominating Seibold for the award, \"the true measure of a co-worker is not how well they perform their job but how much better they make others with whom they work. On that dimension, Jean Seibold is a most valuable asset.\"\nIn 2002 Jean received the College of Business Academic Professional Award.\nKirby Barrick, associate dean of academic programs for the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES), received the 2004 Certificate of Merit Award for Outstanding Faculty Member.\nBarrick oversees undergraduate admissions policies, scholarship programs, recruitment and orientation of students, development of curriculum policies and off-campus programs. He also is involved with the placement of graduates and with faculty development within the college, and with several campus organizations and committees.\nBarrick's nominators spoke highly of his interaction with colleagues and particularly students: \"Dean Barrick's attitude around students is one of confidence, and students quickly realize his ability. He makes a special effort to interact with students as often as his schedule permits.\"\nIn fall 2003 he was listed on the Incomplete List of Teachers Rated as Excellent.",

        "raw_content": "Feb 2, 2000 9:00 am by News Bureau | 217-333-1085Campus Life\nUI police responded to 27 criminal reports of aggravated assaults and batteries in the campus reporting area in the fall, compared with 37 reports in 1998 and 45 in 1997, according to crime data statistics. The campus reporting area extends to University Avenue on the north, Neil Street on the west, Windsor Road on the south and Race Street to the east.\nSimilarly, the numbers of robberies fell to 17 - down from 26 in the fall of 1998.\n\"I'm pleased, but we still have significant problems with aggravated assaults and robberies,\" said UI Police Chief Oliver J. Clark. \"And I think the people on this campus need to be reminded about the time of the day these crimes are occurring, and who the victims are.\"\nVictims of aggravated assaults are usually men between the ages of 18 and 20 out between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., Clark said. The statistics show that more than half of the victims had been drinking when they were assaulted. Slightly more than half of the assaults were made by acquaintances of the victims, according to the statistics.\nRobbery victims also tend to be males out between 9 p.m. and midnight. The vast majority of the robbers are strangers to the victims, and police have found that most robbers have no affiliation with the UI. They seek out UI students, police said, because students often make themselves easy targets by walking alone in dark areas.\nAn unusual statistic from the fall crime reports is that the number of incidents of public indecency increased from three in 1998 to eight in 1999. That could be the result of one or two men who continue to expose themselves from buildings located on the west side of the Quad, according to Capt. Kris Fitzpatrick of the UI police. One suspect who has exposed himself from windows at Lincoln and Gregory halls pulls shades down to conceal his face, she said. It has been difficult to catch the suspects, Fitzpatrick said, in part because the victims frequently don't report the incidents until hours or days after it happened.\n\"Sometimes someone will see a report in the newspaper and then call us and say \"You know, the same thing happened to me a week ago,' \" she said.\nVictims should call the police immediately so that police can search the buildings and catch the man, Clark said.\n\"Witnesses should use the emergency phones on the Quad,\" Fitzpatrick said. \"The majority of our incidents are happening in the Quad area.\"\nAs for criminal sexual assaults, those numbers are down to six from 10 the previous fall, but Fitzpatrick said those statistics are not reliable because criminal sexual assaults are the most under-reported crime on campus.\nA good indication of how under-reported those crimes are is that between 130 and 150 students seek assistance for sexual assault from the UI Office of Women's Programs each year, said Patricia Morey, assistant dean of students.\n\"Not all those assaults occurred on campus - but the majority of them were incidents that occurred here, while they were students on campus,\" Morey said.\nShe said the women's program office doesn't keep statistics on whether alcohol was involved in those assaults, but she estimates that between 60 to 75 percent of one or both parties were intoxicated when the assaults occurred.\n\"And probably 95 percent of the assaults are by an acquaintance,\" Morey said.\nPrevention efforts on campus focus on both men and women, Morey said.\nFirst-year students are required to attend workshops on the issue in their residence halls early in the first semester, she said.\n\"One of the things about our campus I find very hopeful is that we've taken a very proactive approach,\" Morey said. \"This is a serious issue and we're taking it very seriously.\"\nFitzpatrick noted that solutions to crime on campus cannot come from police alone. Student use of alcohol, she said, has a significant impact on crimes on campus, but arresting students for using alcohol doesn't stop the problem.\nAnd drinking on campus continues to be a major concern for police, deans and all others who oversee student safety.\n\"There's no doubt that most of the student-on-student crimes that occur are a result of the overconsumption of alcohol,\" Clark said.\nThe students tend to either react more aggressively when they've been drinking, or sometimes do things they wouldn't do if they were sober, said Ilene Harned, the coordinator of the Alcohol and Other Drug Office on campus.\nIn addition, there's a concern about the students who drink until they are so incapacitated they need medical attention. During the fall semester, 45 students were transported to local hospitals for overconsumption of alcohol, Harned said. Seven students were transported for drug-related medical problems and 120 other students were referred to her office for disciplinary matters, such as having liquor in their rooms or receiving a city violation for drinking as a minor.\nThe Alcohol and Other Drug Office just opened in the fall so it can't compare alcohol use by students with other years. But Fitzpatrick and Clark believe the problem may be increasing. Clark said studies have shown that some students have drinking problems before they arrive at the university.\n\"It's a changing attitude and behavior,\" Clark said. \"And as we've said, arresting students is not the solution to the problem.\"",

        "title": "May 2017 Web Server Survey | Netcraft",
        "raw_content": "In the May 2017 survey we received responses from 1,814,996,345 sites and 6,404,290 web-facing computers. Although the total number of sites has fallen slightly, by 1.4 million since April, the number of computers has grown by 83,000.\nLarge shifts in site counts\nAlthough it fared well in other metrics (see below), nginx suffered a massive 30% loss of hostnames this month. With a net loss of more than 100 million sites, its market share has fallen by 5.71 percentage points to 13.5%. The majority of the sites that disappeared were Chinese-language spam sites hosted at Amazon Web Services in the United States and Japan.\nMeanwhile, Microsoft gained 79 million sites, which has taken its market share up to 49.1%. This is Microsoft's highest market share in the 22-year history of the Web Server Survey, and also reflects a significant change in fortunes over the past year: Last June, Apache had the largest market share of websites, but now Microsoft's share is more than twice as large as Apache's, which fell by a further 1.73 percentage points this month to 20.95%.\nnginx leads active site growth\nDespite the large loss of hostnames, nginx gained nearly a million active sites, which has taken its active sites share back above 20%. This suggests most of the 104 million hostnames it lost did not have distinct content, and therefore were of little interest to ordinary web users, despite the apparent size of the change.\nApache continues to lead the active sites market quite comfortably with a 45.6% share, although a loss of 1.4 million active sites has brought this down by 0.67 percentage points. nginx stays firmly in second place, with more than twice as many active sites as Microsoft.\nnginx's computer growth continues unabated\nnginx's consistent computer growth has continued, making it look ever more likely to overtake Microsoft later in 2017. Its gain of 48,500 computers \u2013 combined with Microsoft's loss of 6,000 \u2013 has reduced the difference in their market shares by nearly a whole percentage point.\nnginx is now within 3.46 percentage points of Microsoft's share of 23.8%; but Apache also maintains a comfortable lead in this market \u2013 it increased its web-facing computer count by 28,800 this month, keeping Apache's share above 43%.\nnginx pushing others out of the top million\nnginx is also continuing to make strong progress amongst the top million websites, where it has been ahead of Microsoft for the past few years. It was the only major vendor to increase its presence this month, resulting in thousands of competing vendors' websites being pushed out of the top million. Apache suffered most, with 3,200 Apache-powered sites departing the top million, but it still leads this market with a 40.5% presence.\nApache has exhibited a slow and steady decline over the past several years. Coupled with nginx's consistent growth within the top million sites, the gap between the two is ever decreasing; however, it looks like it will be a good year or two until nginx seriously starts to threaten Apache's lead.\nNew nginx 1.13 mainline branch\nnginx 1.13.0 was released on 25th April. This is the first release on the new, actively-developed 1.13.x mainline branch, adding bugfixes and new features to what was essentially the most recent stable version of nginx (1.12.0).\nThe most notable new feature in nginx 1.13.0 is its support for TLS 1.3, which aims to be the latest and most secure version of the Transport Layer Security protocol \u2013 although not many underlying crypto libraries actually offer TLS 1.3 yet. The TLS 1.3 specification has not yet been finalised, although the working draft has been sufficient for some servers and clients to implement it. For example, Mozilla's NSS cryptographic library \u2013 which is used by Firefox \u2013 enables TLS 1.3 support by default.\nMicrosoft IIS Administration API enters general availability\nThe Microsoft IIS Administration API that we mentioned in February is now Generally Available. The newest 1.1.0 release also facilitates management of the IIS Central Certificate Store, and includes an improved certificate API. These features are intended to make it easier to manage certificates across entire farms of web servers.\nLiteSpeed enters the Amazon cloud\nLiteSpeed Technologies is now a Technology Partner in the Amazon Web Services Partner Network (APN), coinciding with the release of the LiteSpeed Web Server AMI. This Amazon Machine Image is based on CentOS 7 with the LiteSpeed Web Server pre-installed. AWS users can now use this AMI to quickly deploy ready-to-use virtual machines that run the LiteSpeed Web Server in the cloud.\nThis month's Web Server Survey found 6.4 million websites running LiteSpeed, which encompasses 2.3 million active sites, more than 2 million unique domain names, and nearly 11,000 web-facing computers. One of the busiest sites currently using LiteSpeed is FanFiction.Net, which is an automated fan fiction archive.\nEnter the Beaver\nChina saw a large number of new sites being served by the relatively unknown \"Beaver\" web server. Just over a million sites now exhibit the Beaver Server header, and these make use of more than 110,000 unique domain names \u2013 mostly under the .cn top-level domain. Most of the sites are hosted by Aliyun, which is China's largest cloud hosting provider, while the majority of the rest are hosted by other Chinese companies. Only a single Beaver site is hosted outside of China \u2013 this solitary instance is hosted in Japan, at Amazon's Tokyo AWS region.\nThe behaviour of these sites suggests that Beaver might not be an entirely new web server, but possibly an application based on Microsoft's HTTP Server API (HTTPAPI 2.0). This API lets C/C++ programmers receive HTTP requests and send responses without using Microsoft IIS. At least 38 million other websites also use HTTPAPI 2.0.\nBut most of the Beaver sites are currently inaccessible and display the following message: \"According to the filing requirements of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the website is accessible only if the ICP information is accurate and the ICP license is filed\". An ICP Filing (\"Bei'an\") is required by all content providers in China before they can use hosting and CDN products, but this only allows them to be used for informational purposes. A Commercial ICP Licence (\"Zheng\") is required for any website that sells goods or services that directly generate revenue online.\nPepyaka making the web more friendly\nThe little-known Pepyaka web server has also been quietly growing. This server is used predominantly by Wix, an Israeli company that provides a friendly website building platform to millions of users. Wix provides free website hosting under the *.wix.com domain, or customers can get a free custom domain name when upgrading to one of Wix's yearly premium plans.\nThis business model has led to a high ratio of domains to hostnames amongst the Pepyaka install base.

        "raw_content": "Faction, Arcadia\nPunks are traveling marauders, colloquially called Land Pirates. They do not search for 'Home' but for profit and death. They are attacked on sight by the Arcadian Military. Their leader, like the King of Greasers, is the strongest around, but the one who holds the title changes often. Sometimes hired by the Assassin's Guild to attack certain targets without arousing suspicion of the guild's involvement. They also fought both for and against ECHO forces, depending on what they thought most beneficial.\nTheir hierarchy is dictated by the most dominant individual. A gang can be only a group of three lackeys and a gang leader, to massive armies lead by a monster. Erebus Waldren was the first ever to unite all the major gangs together. However, they quickly separated up into small groups and fled back to Arcadia. Previously, the most powerful leader had been Harley the Punk, who was slain during the events of the King of Greasers. They are occasionally led by a Shadow possessed individual.\nSworn enemies of the Greasers. Currently running around in small gangs, numbering less than one hundred. Once every year, they get together for Maul, a great festival. It has caused many many deaths, yet continues to be a popular event for the seedier underworld. At the end of it, all the Greasers gather together for the Dragmire Coronach and ends with them reciting the Dread Threnody. The song and poem are very important to them, being written by the first 'true' Punk, Havar Maul.\nRetrieved from \"https://nfwp.fandom.com/wiki/Punks?oldid=15912\"",

        "raw_content": "Tepco: Geological Survey A Step Toward Higashidori Completion\nThe Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), owner of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Generating Station, said it remained committed to construction of the Higashidori Nuclear Power Plant in Aomori Prefecture, a site where construction of an advanced boiling water began in January 2011\nTepco said in a recent news conference that it would conduct a geological survey that will commence this year. \"In restarting the Higashidori plant project, we will proceed with the geological survey so that we can build a safer ... plant,\" Nuclear Engineering International quoted Tepco President Tomoaki Kobayakawa as saying.\nConstruction of Higashidori had began two months before the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant that prompted a nationwide moratorium on nuclear power and increased safety protocols for owners of nuclear power plants. The focus of the new regulations related primarily on potential geological events and the need for secure backup power in the event of a strong earthquake, such as the 9.0-magnitude event that initiated the damage to the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant.\nTepco has also said it would be open to joining forces with other nuclear plant operators, namely Chubu Electric Power, Kansai Electric and JAPC, for investment in the Higahidori plant. At present, interest in building new plants in Japan has waned, not only because of the new, more expensive safety requirements, but due to a leveling off of demand.\nBoth of Tepco's planned Higashidori reactors are advanced boiling water models with 1385 MWe capacities. Currently operating at the site is Tohoku Electric Power's Higashidori Unit 1, a boiling water reactor that began operations in 2005. The Higashidori site is unique in Japan in that two different companies are involved in construction of the facility. Originally, four reactors were planned for the site, with each company owning two apiece.",

As a Latin American artist his passion for life and art is vividly depicted in his colorful pieces.\nObed was born on October, 1966 in Santurce, Puerto Rico. From a very early age he demonstrated interest in drawing. He studied at the League of Art of San Juan where he expanded his knowledge in drawing and painting. He also attended art classes at the Andr\u00e9s Bueso Academy of Arts and earned a B.A. degree in Visual Art at the University of Sacred Heart in Santurce, Puerto Rico. He lived in Puerto Rico until he relocated to the United States in 1995 with his family.\nG\u00f3mez has evolved as a children\u2019s art instructor, editorial cartoonist and as a prepress graphic artist. He currently works for a publisher where he designs web pages for the Internet. He also does freelance work as an illustrator for Pearson Education, Norwood Publishing, Bookspan, Scott Foresman and Arte P\u00fablico Press.\nObed\u2019s artwork adopts many forms and styles. His work has indeed found its niche and its own voice. This is most evident in his use of exuberant colors, inspired by his boundless passion towards his ancestral past, and traditions.\nSome of Obed\u2019s private collectors are Florida\u2019s first lady Columba Bush, Sila Mar\u00eda Calder\u00f3n, former Governor of Puerto Rico, and world international golfer Ernie Els.\nThe artist is a nominee for the 2004 prestigious Paoli awards.

It has been in exhibits at SeaWorld Orlando, Epcot, the Orlando Museum, the Brevard Museum of art and Science and Galeria Latina in England.\nObed\u2019s rich ethnic background - Hispanic, Taino Indian and African - as well as his love for nature, influence his work which has been exhibited in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean.\n\u201cMy purpose is to send a message of love, positive energy, balance and tranquility through my art.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The New Hillary DGAF Clinton Could Have Won the Election\nShe is not here for you anymore. And, ironically, that\u2019s what she always needed to win.\nBy Diana Bruk \u2022 06/02/17 4:27pm\nFormer U.S. Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks during BookExpo 2017 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, June 1, 2017 in New York City. Clinton will release her latest memoir in October via publisher Simon & Schuster. Drew Angerer/Getty Images\nLast week, New York Magazine published an intimate profile of Hillary Clinton that proved what anyone who has kept up with her life since the election already knows: now that she is no longer vying to become president, the former candidate can finally be herself. As the author of the piece, Rebecca Traister, wrote:\n\u201cWearing no makeup and giant Coke-bottle glasses, dressed in a gray mock-turtleneck and black zip sweatshirt, Hillary looks less Clinton and more Rodham than I have ever seen her outside of college photographs\u2026With no more races to run and no more voters to woo with fancy hair, Clinton appears now as she might have if she\u2019d aged in nature and not in the crucible of American politics.\u201d\nThe change in Clinton\u2019s persona was immediate after her staggering loss on November 8. Suddenly, she was all about taking selfies with fans during casual strolls in the woods, even though as a political candidate she had admonished selfie culture for distracting from the issues that really matter.\nHillary Clinton has been rocking the same Patagonia fleece for at least 21 years. pic.twitter.com/Igw7cXgIWV\n\u2014 Sarah (@ughsarahd) November 29, 2016\nSuddenly, this new Hillary, who had been so careful to assume responsibility for the email debacle that she knew preoccupied her critics, was blatantly blaming Russian hackers and former FBI Director James Comey for her surprising upset. And just last Wednesday, Hillary, who had always been praised for being so poised and politically correct and \u201cpresidential,\u201d threw the holy mother of all shade on Donald Trump after he went after her for the upteenth time on Twitter.\nThis is the kind of tweet that the old Hillary, the one that seemed to have been carefully curated by a committee of well-paid campaign advisors, would have never written. But this is not the old Hillary. The new Hillary doesn\u2019t wear makeup. She gives zero fucks. She is not here for you. She says, \u201cYou do you girl,\u201d as she walks out of the house in oversized glasses and raises a big middle finger to the world. She is shade. She is snark. She is everything our increasingly individualistic society prizes.\nSadly, she\u2019s also too little too late.\nWhen I was interviewing people in the fall about an article on why Russian-Americans hate Hillary Clinton, I found that these conservative immigrants gave me the same answer over and over again. The problem wasn\u2019t just that she was a woman, as they idolize Margaret Thatcher. The problem was that they found her \u201ctoo stiff,\u201d \u201cfake,\u201d and \u201ctoo political.\u201d Everything about her, from the way she looked to the things she said, seemed very carefully crafted. There was nothing about her that seemed totally unique, or any moment where she broke the politically correct mold and showed us \u201cthe real Hillary.\u201d\nTrump, on the other hand, was brash and blunt and seemed to say whatever came into his head without any concern for what it sounded like or how it came across. Yes, he contradicted himself. But he was 110%, unapologetically Donald Trump. He walked into a room in a way that said, \u201cI\u2019m here, motherf*ckers, I\u2019m gonna do me, and if you don\u2019t like it, you can f*ck off.\u201d\nIt might sound strange, but in today\u2019s culture, that\u2019s the kind of attitude people respect and admire. More important for a potential leader, that\u2019s the kind of attitude people trust\u2014especially people who have lived through decades of crestfallen campaign promises.\n\u201cAt least with Trump, you know exactly what you\u2019re getting,\u201d my father said to me, just before the election, to explain in part why he was voting for him. \u201cWith Hillary, you just don\u2019t know.\u201d\nThe issue of Hillary\u2019s \u201clikability\u201d has been a charged one, as her fans argue that men don\u2019t have to worry about being \u201clikable.\u201d I\u2019m not going to act like that argument doesn\u2019t have merit, or that sexism didn\u2019t play a major role in Hillary\u2019s loss, because it absolutely did. But in this particular case, that\u2019s not the whole story because the importance of having a president that looks like someone you can \u201cgrab a beer with\u201d has endless precedent. Think of the famous story of how those who listened to Nixon in the first televised presidential debate thought that he won, whereas those that saw him all sweaty and nervous next to a handsome, grinning Kennedy on TV thought that he lost. The veracity of that story has been questioned, but the fact that people believe it still indicates that being the kind of person an average voter wants to \u201cgrab a beer with\u201d has always been important.\nHillary was always well-prepared, well-spoken, and well-versed\u2014especially in comparison to Trump. She has been preparing for the presidency for every moment of her entire life, and she annihilated Trump in the debates. But she wasn\u2019t cool, which would have been fine if she had just embraced her real persona instead of adopting a million different curated ones (Loving Grandmother, Loyal Wife, Tough But Nice Boss-Lady). Because nowadays being cool means being\u2014or at least being really good at appearing to b\u2014aggressively yourself.\nAnd what\u2019s fascinating about how her image has changed in the public eye, at least according to the Internet, is that since losing the election she has suddenly become cool. She is the subject of as many badass memes as Joe Biden, purely on the basis of the fact that she seems to not GAF about what people think of her anymore.\nMichelle: \"girl\"\nHillary: \"girl i know girl\"#Inauguration pic.twitter.com/vlhXWCi9z6\n\u2014 Common Girl \ud83d\udc85\ud83c\udffb (@girlhoodposts) January 20, 2017\nShould being \u201ccool\u201d and \u201clikable\u201d and not caring what anyone thinks be more significant than a presidential candidate\u2019s history of public service and policies? Of course not. But the reality is that it kind of is. The way that we approach politicians is very different today than in the elections of yesteryear. We\u2019ve turned celebrities into politicians and politicians into celebrities (which, for the record, I think is a terrible idea), to the point where a group of journalists and I were recently joking that the next election will be between Kanye West and Oprah (which, for the record, is not that funny or far-fetched).\n\u201cOh my god, Donald Trump is the new Kim Kardashian,\u201d a colleague of mine said, when looking at the astronomical traffic hits that any article on him accrued. Trump, throughout the election, turned himself into an even bigger, bolder celebrity, whereas Clinton came across as a typical politician.\nShe played it all by the old rules, but this is a totally new game.\nFiled Under: Politics, National Politics, Hillary Clinton, Hilary Clinton, Donald Trump, donald trump, New York Magazine, James Comey, Margaret Thatcher",

        "raw_content": "Patient-ventilator asynchronies: may the respiratory mechanics play a role?\nCarlucci A, Pisani L, Ceriana P, Malovini A, Nava S - Crit Care (2013)\nBottom Line: In the last 15 minutes of this period, asynchrony events were detected and classified as ineffective effort (IE), double triggering (DT) and auto-triggering (AT).IEs were the most frequent asynchronous events (45% of patients) and were associated with a higher level of pressure support.A high incidence of asynchrony events and IE were associated with a poor tolerance of NIV.\nIntroduction: The mechanisms leading to patient/ventilator asynchrony has never been systematically assessed. We studied the possible association between asynchrony and respiratory mechanics in patients ready to be enrolled for a home non-invasive ventilatory program. Secondarily, we looked for possible differences in the amount of asynchronies between obstructive and restrictive patients and a possible role of asynchrony in influencing the tolerance of non-invasive ventilation (NIV).\nMethods: The respiratory pattern and mechanics of 69 consecutive patients with chronic respiratory failure were recorded during spontaneous breathing. After that patients underwent non-invasive ventilation for 60 minutes with a \"dedicated\" NIV platform in a pressure support mode during the day. In the last 15 minutes of this period, asynchrony events were detected and classified as ineffective effort (IE), double triggering (DT) and auto-triggering (AT).\nResults: The overall number of asynchronies was not influenced by any variable of respiratory mechanics or by the underlying pathologies (that is, obstructive vs restrictive patients). There was a high prevalence of asynchrony events (58% of patients). IEs were the most frequent asynchronous events (45% of patients) and were associated with a higher level of pressure support. A high incidence of asynchrony events and IE were associated with a poor tolerance of NIV.\nConclusions: Our study suggests that in non-invasively ventilated patients for a chronic respiratory failure, the incidence of patient-ventilator asynchronies was relatively high, but did not correlate with any parameters of respiratory mechanics or underlying disease.\nRespiration, Artificial/methods*/standards\nRespiratory Insufficiency/diagnosis*/physiopathology/therapy*\nRespiratory Mechanics/physiology*\nFigure 1: Distribution of total and single types of asynchrony in overall studied population.\nMentions: As shown in Figure 1, any form of asynchrony was present in 58% of the 69 enrolled patients, with IE being by far the most common problem. An AI >10%, indicating severe asynchrony [3], was present in 21/69 (30%) patients, while IE >10% were detected in 14/69 (20%) of patients.",

Most specifically, in the banking sector, banks from Western European countries seemed to be inclined toward rapid acquisition in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. Naturally, from the surface level, the driving forces appear to links with the increasing globalization, market deregulation, and technological innovations. However, under the surface lies the most significant question: how do Western European Banks execute successful cross-border acquisition in CEE countries?\nThe purpose of this study is to investigate how banks achieve successful cross-border acquisitions in CEE countries. Particularly, the study emphasizes the motives of acquisitions and the decisions related to the pre-acquisition planning phase and post-acquisition integration phase.\nThe study was carried out using case study method. The case study includes acquisitions of seven banks by an Italian bank (UniCredit) in CEE. The data were collected through semi structured interviews with five managers from three Offices of UniCredit.\nEvidence collected from these case study highlights that CEE region was a key determinant to UniCredit's success and different motives pushed the company to carry out acquisitions in the region. The findings also suggested that the bank followed a detailed pre-acquisition plan before its acquisitions and that the integration processes were characterized by a high level of integration at a fast speed.",

        "raw_content": "Trip to Asamana Village\nI paid a visit to a special friend 'Stephen' on Guadalcanal. Stephen is fifty-eight years old. His birthday was the 7th August 1942. Stephen lives in a small village called Asamana. He wears a six-inch wooden shoe on his left foot to compensate for his deformed leg.\nOccupation By Japanese Forces\nIn July 1942 Japanese forces, which had recently occupied the Island of Guadalcanal, paid a visit to this small village. They were examining potential areas for other airfields to supplement the one they were constructing at Lunga Point. Pleased with the results of their search (the area was later to become Carney Field) the Japanese gave the villagers some Japanese clothes to wear.\nVery early one morning in August some of the village boys were walking around the village wearing these gifts of Japanese uniforms. Most unfortunately that particular morning was the 7th August 1942. American planes in support of the Marine's landing on Guadalcanal saw these Japanese uniforms and strafed the village.\nThe bullets killed one little girl. Stephens mother, who was pregnant with him, fell in terror as to what was going on around her. Stephen was born later that day with his leg badly damaged from that fall. Stephen has absolutely no hard feeling towards Americans, in fact he is very proud of his association with the Americans. He now has that special birthday of the 7th August.\nAsamana village proceeded to have a lengthy association with the American forces. An American hospital was built where Steven's house now is. There was also much activity during the construction and operations of the Carney Airfields.\nColonel Carlson's Tree\nAn early meeting with the American forces is still talked about in the village. Early in November 1942 a group of Americans spent three day in the village following action against Japanese forces. This group of Americans was the 2nd Raider Battalion during Carlson's Long Patrol. Until 1995 the village people could take you to a tree where \"Mr. Carlson the leader of the Americans pitched his tent\". The tree was destroyed in a fire but fruit from that tree was used to ensure that \"Mr. Carlson's\" tree lives on. The attached photo is the \"Son of Mr. Carlson's tree\". The photo of the Metapona River shows the original position of Carlson's campsite on the right (western) side of the river.",

        "title": "Land Registry privatisation left out of Bill",
        "raw_content": "19 September 2016 Property newsBy Julian O'Leary\nProperty buyers and sellers in Bow will benefit from the government\u2019s decision to put the privatisation of the Land Registry on hold.\nThe Land Registry, which has recorded the ownership of property since 1862, was due to be sold off as part of a strategy drawn up by former Chancellor George Osborne to raise \u00a35bn by 2020.\nDetails of the sale were expected to be included in the Neighbourhood Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which was launched in Parliament earlier this month.\nAlthough the Bill contains details of how the government proposes to support more housebuilding, increase the amount of local say over the development of land and speed up the compulsory purchase order system, there is no mention of the Land Registry\u2019s future ownership.\nA government source explains: \u201cNo decision has been taken on the future of the Land Registry. A consultation on the Land Registry\u2019s future closed in May and we are carefully considering our response. It is only right that new ministers take time to look at all their options before making a decision.\u201d\nThe consultation document set out several models for the new agency, with its preferred option being privatisation with a contract to the government. Other options included a mutual joint venture between government and a private firm and privatisation with a new regulator in place.\nOpponents of the Land Registry\u2019s sale point out that none of the options on the table set out a framework for customer complaints or how any new owner would be held accountable for errors because creation of an ombudsman was ruled out.\nAlthough the registry is part of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, it operates as an executive agency and a trading fund. This means it is self-financing because its running costs are covered by the fees paid by users.\nIn 2014/15 alone, the Land Registry cost almost \u00a3261m to run, but it generated \u00a3297m of revenue.\nHow? The Land Registry keeps the official record of commercial and residential land ownership in England and Wales, holding 24 million titles for properties. Data is available to the public via searches at \u00a33 each, and used by other organisations to provide a range of services including the UK House Price Index.\nTax trap for landlords\nA second piece of legislation making its way through parliament, however, could mean landlords in Bow will fall into an income tax trap when selling a rental property.\nThe government has inserted amendments into the Finance Bill, which is due to go before the House of Lords before the end of the year, that mean profits from the sale of second homes will become liable for income tax rather than capital gains tax as at present.\nWhen it comes to investment property sales, CGT is charged at 18% for basic rate taxpayers and 28% for higher rate taxpayers. Income tax rates, on the other hand, are currently 40% for anyone earning more than \u00a343,000 a year and 45% for the highest earners.\nAre you a landlord considering a rental property before the Finance Bill received Royal Assent?

        "raw_content": "Member Profile: Gret\nEast Meets West Foundation | Status: Approved\nFounded in 1976, Gret is a non-profit association of professionals for fair development. It supports sustainable development processes in urban and rural areas by building on social equity, economic promotion and respect for the environment. Active in 30 countries in 2012, GRET has 12 permanent branch offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America.\nGret is active in the following fields: 1) Access to Essential Services (access to drinking water and sanitation, nutrition, energy), 2) Natural Resource Management and Agriculture Development (smallholder family farming, food security, agrifood commodity chains), 3) Institution-Building, Actors, Territories (supporting actors and organizations, local development and decentralization, media regulation), 4) Microfinance and Small Enterprise Services (microfinance and micro-insurance, micro and small businesses\u2019 access to financial and non-financial business development services). In 2012, GRET employs more than 100 salaried staff under French law mobilizes 600 some national staff.\nOver the past 30 years, Gret has contributed to improving access to safe water and sanitation for poor people. Its actions are adapted to local contexts and rely on technical, social and institutional innovations. They aim to prove that viable and fair services are possible by involving, at various territorial levels, the civil society, the private sector and public authorities.\nStarting with rural hydraulics at the end of the 70s, Gret has progressively moved towards the institutional reinforcement and professionalization of water and sanitation stakeholders. To-day, Gret\u2019s teams bring their know-how to a wide range of countries. In Cambodia, Laos, Senegal, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Peru and Haiti their expertise is mobilized to support more than 100 operators to reinforce water management and sanitation services. They also support public administrations and local authorities in exercising their planning, ownership and regulation responsibilities.\nPrimary Focus Drinking Water - Households\nSecondary Focus Policy\nStarting with rural hydraulics at the end of the 70s, Gret has progressively moved towards the institutional reinforcement and professionalization of water and sanitation stakeholders. To-day, Gret\u2019s teams bring their know-how to a wide range of countries. In Cambodia, Laos, Senegal, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Madagascar, Peru and Haiti their expertise is mobilized to support more than 100 operators to reinforce water management and sanitation services. They also support public administrations and local authorities in exercising their planning, ownership and regulation responsibilities. Gret\u2019s approach is based on the following principles:\nGive rise to innovations from existing local dynamics: allowing for local constraints, Gret designs adapted solutions to produce and distribute drinking water as well as to collect, treat and reuse waste-water. It tests technical, institutional and financial schemes that take into consideration both economic viability and necessary fairness.\nBuild inclusive management and regulation methods: increasing and sustaining access to water and sanitation services for all implies setting up multi-stakeholder management schemes based on a clear division of the role of each actor. Faced with the diversity of stakeholders and interests, Gret facilitates consultation processes in order to negotiate compromises at different levels that respect the rights and obligations of all.\nAccompany the professionalization of water and sanitation stakeholders: reinforcing the capacity of sector stakeholders to assume their role (ownership, management, user representation, regulation, etc.) is a necessary condition for the improvement of service quality. This implies access to training and systems that encourage local know-how and ensure an efficient diffusion of locally produced innovations.\nThe interventions are built on the following methodological basis: i) undertake in-depth diag-noses, (ii) formalize intervention methodologies to encourage appropriation by local stake-holders and to enable a knock-on effect, (iii) rely on monitoring and evaluation processes to produce decision-making information support.\nCountries with water and sanitation activities (2013): Cambodia, Laos, Madagascar, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Congo, Senegal, Haiti, France\nFounded in 1976, Gret is a non-profit association of professionals for fair development. It supports sustainable development processes in urban and rural areas by building on social equity, economic promotion and respect for the environment. Active in 30 countries in 2013, Gret has 12 permanent branch offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Vietnam, Mauritania, Senegal, Haiti, Brazil, and Myanmar).\nIt intervenes in the following seven complementary fields that, together, contribute to the emergence of developing countries:\n- Agriculture: Value Chains and Agricultural Policies\n- Citizenship: Media and Democracy\n- Drinking Water and Sanitation\n- Natural Resource Management and Energy\n- Microfinance and Professional Insertion\n- Health: Nutrition and Social Protection\n- Cities for All and Decentralization.\nGret combines the roles of project practitioner or co-practitioner, expert and produc-er/distributor of development references. It mobilizes the skills of its professional teams and has the experience and references necessary to properly conduct its development missions. Gret:\n- Designs and Implements Field Projects: Innovative project implementer, it acts as dele-gated contract manager and contracting authority. It provides the technical, methodological and managerial support necessary for proper operations, and shares its know-how.\n- Provides Expertise: It conducts and shares crucial expertise in a wide range of areas\u2014\u201cprojects and organization\u201d (feasibility, monitoring, assessment, institutional support, etc.), \u201cpolicy\u201d (development policy definition support, etc.), and \u201cscientific knowledge\u201d (economics, engineering, agronomy, hygiene, etc.)\u2014based on the results of applied research, experience and excellent knowledge of the field.\n- Runs Networks and Defends Ideas: It networks expert actors and researchers, it speaks in international forums, and pleads actively in favor of sustainable development, providing a unique contribution thanks to its dual roots in the field and in policy.\n- Produces and Disseminates References: It analyzes and documents its own development experiences, taking an objective look at its practices, and learns lessons from them to improve its modes of intervention and disseminate knowledge, know-how and methods that have been tested and improved in the field.\nIt acts as a service provider for public contracting authorities and private contracting bodies. It also initiates projects itself, often in partnerships, for which it secures financial backing and ensures implementation. Regardless of their specific modalities, all of the activities in which Gret is involved contribute to sustainable and fair development and the reduction of poverty and inequalities. They aim to lastingly improve populations\u2019 incomes and access to essential services, and aim to help build the capacities of actors and civil societies and advance public governance. To conduct relevant and effective actions that provides sustainable solutions, Gret brings together teams of committed and skilled professionals (economists, sociolo-gists, engineers, agronomists, urban planners, etc.) able to mobilize proven technical and methodological know-how in diverse socio-economic and political contexts. It favors technical and institutional choices that are suited to the material and social situations of the greatest number and that mobilize local resources; and\nworks in dialogue and cooperation with the local actors, emphasizing experimenta-tion and innovation, strengthening local and national institutions (whether public, private or associative), and local intermediary organizations in particular.\nGret\u2019s turnover in 2011 was 22 million euros. Its primary project donors are the European Union, the Agence Fran\u00e7aise de D\u00e9veloppement, and the French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. It also acts for:\n- international agencies (the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, CGAP, UNICEF, IFAD, UNDP);\n- other French public institutions (the Ministry of Research, territorial governments such as the regional councils of the \u00cele-de-France, Nord-Pas de Calais, Brittany, and Centre Regions); and\nbilateral agencies (GTZ, Canadian development assistance), the public organizations of the countries where it is active (Senegalese Ministry of Trade, Florestas do Amazonas \u2013 Brazil) and major international NGOs (CCFD, CORDAID, Concern).\nGret receives financing from companies and corporate foundations (V\u00e9olia, Suez Envi-ronnement, Fondation Orange, Fondation Ensemble). Gret works in partnership with institutions of various types.\nGret is an association whose governing bodies consist of:\n1) a board of directors that approves and votes on the annual budgets;\n2) an assembly that votes annually to approve the financial accounts based on the registered auditor\u2019s report;\n3) an administrative and financial department (Daf) made up of an administrative and financial director, three management officers and two accountants.\nGret\u2019s general accounting complies with the official Chart of Accounts under French law. Simultaneously, Gret\u2019s analytic and budgetary accounting allows it to (1) allocate each item of spending to the appropriate contract, and (2) verify spending in relation to budgeted amounts.\nGret\u2019s articles of association include an obligation to use a registered auditor; every year, a certified public accountant verifies the year-end account closing and Gret\u2019s compliance with its fiscal and labor obligations. The registered auditor writes a report based on the audit of the accounts and validates the accounts if they are accurate.\nGret\u2019s annual accounts are available and provided on request of appropriate authorities and institutions.\nGret, as manager of public funds, may also be subject to verification by the Cour des Comptes. This was the case in 2004, during a Cour des Comptes audit of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.\nIn its contracting authority assistance role with local institutions (local governments, the state), Gret has developed know-how in the field of granting government contracts both in designing the terms of invitations to tender and implementing calls for tender.\nFor all contract procedures, Gret complies with the laws of the countries where it is active and the regulations required by donors; it only undertakes contract procedures that comply fully with legal and administrative procedures.\nIn 2013, Gret employs more than 100 volunteers and salaried staff under French law, more than one third in the field and less than two thirds at headquarters (short expertise missions, field project supervision and elaboration, administration). Its projects mobilize 600 some national staff.\nwww.gret.org",

        "raw_content": "Drink From My Glass\nTitle: Drink From My Glass\nCharacters: Betty, Arkady\nWarnings: Expletives, explicit illness\nNotes: So, not like I needed an excuse to inflict more hell on Arkady, but having been sick since before Christmas kind of makes me think I should.\nOf all the altered states in which one was likely to find Evan, sick was pretty low on the list. Sure, there was puke-drunk, but that was different. Throwing up usually made that stop. This was just horrible, and there was no end in sight.\nHe\u2019d been a little vacant and tired for days, but that wasn\u2019t too bad. It was pretty ignorable. He\u2019d only had to go out once, and he just let Liz do all the thinking for him. He usually let her order when they went out to the Thai place, anyway. She was better at figuring out what would actually be good.\nBut, that had been Thursday, and now it was Saturday. He\u2019d been hit by cars, a couple times, when he was younger \u2014 usually while running across roads that no one actually expected to see anyone crossing \u2014 and the sensation he woke up with was startlingly similar to the last time he\u2019d bounced off the hood. Everything hurt, in that bruised and maybe-broken sort of way. The back of his neck had swelled, and every time he tried to turn his head, he retched. The headache didn\u2019t really help with that, either. Everything spun, whether he could get his eyes open or not, which was mostly not. It was too bright\u2026 in the middle of the night, with the drapes closed.\nThe irrationality washed over him in waves, bringing panic and paranoia along. He\u2019d never been a sickly kid, really. The whole idea of catching something that felt like you\u2019d been run over was foreign and terrifying. Sure, he\u2019d had the sniffles a few times, maybe a stomach bug or two, but nothing like this.\nHe thought about standing up, maybe trying to go get a cup of coffee, but it just sounded like too much effort. Rolling over not to choke while he was coughing sounded like too much effort, too, but after the first few, he managed it. This was not how he wanted to spend the day. And the worse thought was that it might not just be one day.\nPulling the blanket up over his head, he tried to go back to sleep, but the sound of his heartbeat echoing in his head was too loud. Finally, he reached for the phone, squinting at the glow of the numbers on the handset. It took him nearly three minutes to dial, as he forgot where he was in the sequence, over and over. After what seemed to be an eternity of ringing echoing through his head, Liz\u2019s answering machine clicked on: \"Speak, peon!\" it commanded, and he obeyed.\n\"Liz?\" His voice was thick and plaintive, catching in all the sticky places in his throat. \"I think I\u2026 I don\u2019t feel so good. Do you have any\u2026 Can I borrow a\u2026 I can\u2019t find the Tylenol, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to help. Call me?\"\nHe thumbed the disconnect button and dropped the phone on his face. He was sure that should\u2019ve hurt, but the room was spinning so much faster, and everything seemed so puffy and far away. Didn\u2019t matter, he figured. He\u2019d sleep it off.\nIt was the last thought in his head for the next four hours, until he became vaguely aware of someone in the room. Smelled like Liz. That was okay, then. He didn\u2019t need to do anything about that.\n\"Evan? Evan, come on, wake up.\" She was shaking him, and she sounded a little more afraid than he could find a reason for.\nWith a groan, he opened his eyes and squinted at where she knelt beside the bed. \"Liz,\" he managed, before the coughing started again. \"I thought you\u2019d call.\"\n\"I did call,\" she said, squinting into his eyes. \"You didn\u2019t pick up. You also sounded like complete shit. Leslie sends her love and some codeine. I picked up some soup from the pub. You shouldn\u2019t take these on an empty stomach.\"\n\"You do love me!\" He rolled over and dropped an arm across her shoulder in a weak attempt to pull her into a hug.\n\"Of course I do. It\u2019s why I have keys.\" She reached into the shopping bag next to her and took out a small pillbox and two styrofoam containers of soup. A bit more unpacking brought out napkins, plastic spoons, a foil-wrapped chunk of cheese-bread, and a six of stout. \"Micko asked after you. I told him you were sick, and he just blew off what I was going to bring you.\"\n\"You told Micko I was sick?\" Evan pulled a pillow over his face. \"Oh, god. Why?\"\n\"He asked! Said he hadn\u2019t seen you all week!\" Liz opened one container of soup and put a spoon into it. \"If you can\u2019t sit up, at least lean this way, so you don\u2019t spill this on he bed.\"\nThere was a bit of rearranging as he got into a position where he could eat, and took the soup off her hands. \"What soup is this?\" he asked, finally getting a mouthful. \"That\u2019s not cream of potato.\"\n\"That\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to tell you. Micko wouldn\u2019t stand for it. He had Hedy make some soup special for you. He says it\u2019s what she feeds him when he gets sick.\" She broke off a bit of the cheese bread and ate it.\n\"It\u2019s good. Hedy made it, I mean, it has to be good.\" He drank off some of the broth and kept eating, suddenly remembering he hadn\u2019t eaten all day. \"He\u2019s still full of shit, though.\"\n\"Well, it\u2019s Micko.\" She shrugged. \"But, what is it, this time?\"\n\"He doesn\u2019t get sick. When\u2019s the last time you went in, and he wasn\u2019t right there at the bar?\" Evan suddenly set down the soup, pressed his forehead against the pillow, and retched. \"Oh, god. Make it stop. Pills?\"\nLiz popped open the box and pressed a pill into his hand. \"Wait until you stop retching, or it\u2019ll come back up.\"\nHe held onto the pill, tightly, trying to breathe evenly. Nausea was something he knew. He\u2019d gotten puke-drunk enough times to handle it. \"He\u2019s still full of shit,\" he mumbled.\n\"Does it matter if he is? It\u2019s Micko; when is he not full of shit? Hedy made soup for you \u2014 just for you. And she doesn\u2019t even want in your pants, dearling. She just wishes that she fit in your pants.\"\nHe put the pill in his mouth and reached for the soup, again. \"She\u2019d have to be like a foot taller,\" he slurred, holding the pill in place with his tongue. \"It\u2019s not her weight, it\u2019s her height.\"\nAfter a few deep breaths, he gulped some broth and laid back down, face in the pillow. \"Stay a little?\" he asked. \"Just until it kicks in?\"\nLiz finally took off her coat, folding it next to the bedside table. \"Bucket, first,\" she suggested, sensibly, heading back toward his tiny kitchen to fetch the trash can. The sound of crinkling plastic and running water could be heard, as she took out the bag and splashed a bit of water and floor-cleaner into the bottom. There was no bleach; there wouldn\u2019t be. Nearly everything Evan owned was black.\n\"Aim for this,\" she said, setting the bin beside the head of the bed and taking a seat beside his knees. \"You\u2019ll live. You know that, right?\"\n\"\u2018S not dying I\u2019m afraid of. Promise,\" he groaned.\nShe reached out to brush the hair off his face, but he caught her wrist in an iron grip. \"Don\u2019t touch.\"\n\"Twenty minutes,\" she offered. \"And then you\u2019ll probably pass out again.\"\n\"Thank god.\" He paused and thought about it. \"Pick a god, any god.\"\n\"Odin,\" she suggested. \"I\u2019ve always liked the Norse gods.\"\n\"Burly blond guys? That really explains what you\u2019re doing here\u2026\" he joked, and a snort degenerated into a coughing fit. \"Twenty minutes, thank Odin.\"\n\"Well, I\u2019m not doing you, am I?\" she shot back.\n\"No, but you\u2019re not doing Lir, either. Mike\u2019s burly and blond,\" he protested. \"And a totally decent guy.\"\n\"And I scare the pants back on him. You want burly, blond, and sexy? What about Sin? He\u2019s dreamy, and he looks good in a mini.\" Clasping her hands beside her cheek, she fluttered her eyelashes like a schoolgirl.\n\"I always forget he\u2019s blond. I never forget you\u2019d be all over him, if Sev hadn\u2019t gotten there first.\" He managed to look faintly snide, but that might just have been the pressure in his head.\n\"He\u2019d never get those colours, otherwise. I am just mad with envy after that peacock blue.\" Her whole body fluttered for a moment, like a bird fluffing its feathers to scare off the cats.\n\"Do you want him, or do you want to be him?\" he teased.\n\"Oh, no. I want him. I want him like I have you.\" She leaned to the side a bit, smiling in his field of vision. \"Tied up and hung over the sofa.\"\n\"Mmm,\" he conceded. \"I want to be there, if you do. I have to see if he takes it as well as I do. And you know Sev\u2019s not going to let it happen unless he\u2019s right there.\"\n\"No, Sev\u2019s not going to let it happen. I\u2019ve asked.\" She shrugged. \"Well, I asked Sin. How could I not? It\u2019s so easy to ask him anything. But, I guess Sev\u2019s got some hangups, so we can\u2019t.\"\n\"Probably good. I don\u2019t really want to get caught in the fallout,\" he yawned. \"Twenty minutes, my ass.\"\n\"It\u2019s the soup, not the pill. I\u2019ll tell Hedy, tomorrow, if you\u2019re still in bed.\" She closed up the soup and wrapped the cheese-bread again. \"I\u2019ll leave these right here, so you don\u2019t have to get up to eat.\"\nHe reached out and grabbed her hand, still moving clumsily. \"I love you, Liz,\" he mumbled. \"Really. Thanks.\"\n\"It\u2019s why I have keys,\" she reminded him, kissing the back of his hand. She\u2019d stay a bit longer. Just until he was really asleep. She could let herself out. She had keys, after all.\n7 in 7: Bubble\nPosted by Ywain Penbrydd at 08:44\tTagged with: .fic, rating: mature, vl: 2 glass, vl: arkady, vl: betty\n7 in 7: Bubble The Second Glass of Wine",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Uncategorized \u00bb Trump Is Inaugurated President \u2013 Here Is What Will Change\nToday is an interesting day in history. The United States of America has, by a minority of total votes cast and with the express assistance of the Soviet Union, elected the most random and disruptive president in its history. Those who voted for Trump \u2013 and most everyone in the Republican party \u2013 expect that this combination of randomness and disruptiveness will result in very good things for America. Maybe it will, though there is little in the history of the US or any other nation to suggest that randomness and disruptiveness are desirable qualities in executive leadership. And thus the US, a beacon of liberal democracy and the leader of the world, enters a new age where surprise and unintended consequences are guaranteed, where a reordering of national relations seems extremely likely, and where any outcome from \u201cgood\u201d to \u201cvery, very bad\u201d is possible. We are, indeed, at an interesting point in history.\nSo, with the onset of this new age, let\u2019s be very clear what will change in regard to the really big, really important things that are driving events in the world: nothing. That\u2019s right \u2013 nothing. Let\u2019s put politics back into its relatively impotent place for a while and take a look at the mega-trends of this world.\nThe Rejection of God\u2019s Governance and the Adoption of Satan\u2019s Model. When Satan decided he wanted to be above God and started a political campaign in heaven claiming that God was unfair and a poor leader, Satan rejected God\u2019s governance model, which had love as its organizing principle. Satan claimed to have a better way. Astonishingly, a third of the angels in heaven accepted Satan\u2019s claims and sided with him \u2013 or voted for him, if you will. Satan and his angels were thrown out of heaven and cast to earth. Here Satan succeeded in getting mankind (Adam and Eve) to believe his claims and to disobey God. By conquering man, Satan won the dominion of the earth that God had given to man and thus became the \u201cgod\u201d of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4). Here he had all he needed to set about proving that the \u201cbetter way\u201d he claimed to have in Heaven was just that. By looking at the way all natural things and all human things in the world operate, we can deduce that his \u201cbetter way\u201d was a system that had selfishness as its organizing principle, which is the opposite of God\u2019s organizing principle. There are two fundamental problems with this. The first is that God is the given of life to the universe, and separation of God through rebellion causes death, whether it comes sooner or later. The second problem is that selfishness is the very definition of unsustainable, and everything that is selfishness-based will eventually collapse in on itself. Combine these two and you get the world as we see it today, and thus the world that Satan took over and twisted into a model of his rebellion stands as a witness of the falsehood of his claims against the character of God even as its selfishness-based systems result in greater conflict, greater suffering, greater inequality, and greater deceptions. The logical conclusion of such an order is accelerating decline and greater evil everywhere, but particularly in pursuit of power and wealth. Human society is in accelerating decline and there isn\u2019t anything in the changing of a presidential administration in the United States that affects this narrative in any way. (This is a very brief overview of my \u201cSelfishness Paradigm\u201d approach. For a fuller and more fully Bible-referenced explanation, see the first in my series of six short videos on the subject here)\nThe Marked and Accelerating Decline of the Natural World. When God created the world, it reflected his perfect character, which the Bible tells us is the very definition of Love. A character of perfect love does not \u2013 cannot \u2013 create something that is contrary to it. In other words, a character of perfect love cannot create a world full of disease and predation and conflict and hate and still be a character of perfect love. From this we know that Satan twisted the world \u2013 all the world. Since Satan\u2019s charge was against God\u2019s character and since God\u2019s character was reflected in every aspect of life on earth \u2013 animal life and plant life and human life \u2013 we can understand that Satan felt compelled to establish a selfishness-based system for every form of life on earth. What kind of a rebellion would it be if he had not? He\u2019d simply be agreeing that God\u2019s design and God\u2019s system were superior. But, of course, they were superior. And Satan\u2019s selfishness-based system is unsustainable and doomed to collapse in on itself. Thus it is that we are seeing the collapse of life webs around the world and are seeing the very operating systems of the earth \u2013 our atmospheric, oceanic, fresh water, climate and food production systems \u2013 in rapid and accelerating decline. This accelerating decline threatens all human life on earth if it runs its natural course. There is nothing about a change of presidential administrations in the United States that stops or even slows this accelerating decline and the conflict, disease, hunger, and instability associated with it.\nThe Role of Individuals in the War Between Christ and Satan. There is one thing left on earth that Satan does not control: those who reject his control. When Satan conquered Adam and Eve, it seems he expected them to remain conquered. But immediately after, God pronounced a curse on Satan that not only predicted Christ, but also freed man to reject the governance of Satan. Each individual is the focus of an epic struggle between Christ and Satan and each individual chooses the operating system they want in their lives \u2013 a selfishness-based approach or a love-based approach. Those who choose Christ and the love-based approach to running the universe are a demonstration to the rest of the world that there is an alternate way to the system that Satan has established in the world. These people \u2013 these Christians \u2013 are a witness through their lives and a living protest to Satan and what he has done to the world. There is nothing about a new presidential administration in Washington DC that changes personal responsibility (and liability) in this war between Christ and Satan.\nTaken all together, perhaps the only thing that really changed today is that the role of Christians got incrementally more important as the opportunity to draw distinctions between the way the world is and the way it was created grows yet clearer. But then, that happens every day. At the same time, Satan works even harder with each passing day to push or pull, woo or threaten, people into accepting his selfishness-based operating system for the world. It is critical that Christians, immersed as they are in a hostile world, proclaim even more loudly that there is a different and better way.\nWhat started off as a political fight will end as a political fight because the war between Christ and Satan is a political one, which is to say that it is fought with ideas and organizing principles and leadership character and will not be decided by weapons. As we look upon the world as it stands today, with the pursuit of power, wealth, and status the dominant and driving force, and as we contemplate the increasing anger among nations and the increasing state of conflict, let us contemplate whether in our personal lives we are upholding a system of living based on accepting God and his kingdom of love, or based on Satan and his chaotic and decaying kingdom based on selfishness. The chaos approach to governance does not work, nor does the selfishness-based model. It\u2019s just that simple. And nothing that happened today in Washington DC changes that.\n\u2190 Democracy: Fighting A Losing Battle On Two Fronts? Planet In Distress TV Series: Within Reach \u2192\nDon Lewis. January 20, 2017\nWhile true that this change may not be the major catalyst to the state of our planets ecological problems, it certainly does not fair positive to some turn around of direction. I do see this moment we are in as meaning more than just another transition and do see the possiblity approaching probability of prophetic importance. As Israel reached its time to turn from its path yet still believing God was with them, I see similar parallels for America. We shall see. I believe in our traditional prophetic understandings fundamentally and as we witness the breakdowns you have shared with us along with the societal, political, religious disruptions then add cataclysmic events that are also escalating, without becoming alarming it does seem we have reached a pivotal moment in salvation history. Anyway I enjoy your particular emphasis on planetary systems and their state. It\u2019s another piece of the puzzle.\ntHi Don! It is true that I am treading very carefully and very lightly in this article. I am loathe to get involved too deeply in politics, as it always distracts from the truly important topics at hand. That said, I am watching trends in American politics very, very carefully. If we begin to see any significant non-democratic tendencies (call it imperial presidency, strong-man, facist, or whatever you want) I will be very quick to discuss it here. The reason for this is because I feel we as a society may be on the cusp of a willingness to discard traditional minority freedoms, including freedom of religion. If we get to the place where liberties can be stripped through executive order, then we truly have entered a new era where rapid prophetic fulfillment is possible. As Jesus told us in Matthew 24 & 25, we are to \u201cwatch\u201d! I am glad we are keeping watch together.\nChaplain Mike January 21, 2017\nI thought I would highlight a couple of lines from Trump\u2019s inaugural speech, which seem to set the stage/plant the seed of a form of patriotism that could be, well, a little unnerving but not unexpected:\nSo, there\u2019s a strong theme of unity, and rightly so. And a theme of God\u2019s protection, which is also true. But\u2026\nWhat if things do happen and God\u2019s \u201cprotection\u201d seems to have vanished? What happens to unity then? This patriotism is a call to put America first, which I will do and strongly believe it \u2013 but no nation-state comes before service and obedience to God!\nThe American people can do more together for good than any other people group on the planet. His job, first, I believe, is to spearhead that principle to truly make American great again. But at what price? I wonder, if we asked Mr. Trump, \u201cWhat comes first, God or America?\u201d What would he say? I know what I do say, will say and will never stop saying to my dying breath: God, Family, Country. In that order forever.\nSo good to hear from you. As you can tell, I am taking a measured approach to my political comments. I don\u2019t want to distract from otherwise important comments. That said, I harbor grave concerns about the juxtaposition of a destabilizing world with what seems to be an unstable president. If we take the inauguration speech you cited in your comments, and combine that with the speech Trump gave at the CIA today, the net effect is one that engenders grave concern for fact-based governance. The problem here is that when world events (disasters, earth systems in accelerating decline, etc.) make such an impact that no one can ignore them, then it seems likely the Trump administration will lurch into a response that will be guided by the most powerful and credible player in the global environmental sector, which to me seems to be the Pope. I see many opportunities here for the fulfillment of prophecy but won\u2019t be writing about them until we have a little more clarity. Maybe I am completely wrong in my sense of what might be coming. We\u2019ll know soon enough.",

        "raw_content": "This is not a question about the ideological implications of supporting or not supporting Trump. It is merely a question about the rational behavior (or lack thereof) of a political party when faced with certain facts.\nAnd the facts are these. Donald Trump is monumentally unpopular. His disapproval rating has remained above 50 % (to be exact: an average of 52.1 % across multiple polls) for almost the entirety of his tenure - mind you that other presidents have had worse ratings by the end of their tenures, but nobody has had such bad ratings this early and this consistently as Donald Trump. This suggests that a majority of the population are fundamentally opposed to Trump, to the point where it is hard to see what could possibly change their stance when 2020 arrives.\nFurther, it may well be argued that a major reason for Trump's 2016 victory was his opposition: Hillary Clinton. An often unliked and untrusted career politician with a plethora of personal scandals, who caused a historical divide even amongst the left-leaning populace, to the point where statistics later revealed that 1 out of 10 Bernie Sanders supporters ... actually voted for Trump (no, seriously).\nBut will such a scenario repeat itself for 2020? Probably not, given the immense popularity of the most likely Democratic candidates, be that Elizabeth Warren, Beto O'Rourke, or Joe Biden.\nWith all that in mind, why does the Republican party not take steps to generate a movement against Trump, so that they can present a more viable candidate of their own for 2020? Is that not the rational thing to do? Trump is almost guaranteed to lose given the current state of affairs which, as argued above, differ significantly from 2016. Supporting him means giving up the most powerful political office in the world to your political opposition: is it not worth it to swallow your pride to avoid that outcome?\nSo why don't they? Is there political pressure not to from Trump himself? Is there a general lack of viable candidates in the first place? What rationale underlies their actions? Because as of right now, it seems the Republican party is by own volition taking the path towards defeat in 2020.\nJaoodJaood\nThere's a lot of begging the question in this question. The claim that Trump is \"almost guaranteed to lose\" is not supported, nor is the so-called \"immense popularity\" of potential Democrat candidates. One subjective statistic, the so-called disapproval rating, can't pull that much weight. \u2013 Joe Dec 4 '18 at 18:08\nThis question is making one big assumption, I think. It's not clear to me that the Republican Party has the organizational/logistical ability to mount a significant resistance to Trump at the present time, even if it wanted to. \u2013 Michael W. Dec 4 '18 at 19:25\nYour disapproval rating number is, at best, made up. First, they pretty much admit that in the source itself on paragraph 20ish. Second, a lack of approval is not always disapproval. \u2013 David S Dec 4 '18 at 22:38\n\"given the immense popularity of the most likely Democratic candidates, be that Elizabeth Warren, Beto O'Rourke, or Joe Biden.\" You willing to bet they'll have the same 98% chance to win Hillary did? You make a lot of assumptions here and then use deeply flawed individuals as a basis to push a thought that they can do better than another deeply flawed individual (Hillary)... \u2013 WernerCD Dec 7 '18 at 2:29\nA lot of your assumptions here are the same made before Trump was elected. Yet here we are, talking about President Trump. \u2013 fredsbend Dec 7 '18 at 19:15\nBecause polling data and Trump's approval rating do not tell the whole story.\nAs right-wing political commentator Ben Shapiro is fond of saying, two things can be true at once: It's entirely possible to both despise President Trump's character, bombastic personality, and divisive rhetoric AND simultaneously appreciate what he has done and is trying to accomplish policy-wise.\nConsider the following from a conservative's perspective:\nTrump's signature campaign promise was to get tough on illegal immigration, and he has done exactly that. Illegal immigration has always been a major concern for the right. Even though his \"zero tolerance\" policy is heavy-handed (or an outright human rights violation if you're on the left), it has sent a clear, unambiguous message to Central- and South American countries that the US/Mexico border is no longer an open thoroughfare for entering the United States illegally.\nThe Tax Cuts and Jobs Act dramatically reduced corporate income taxes, which was previously the highest tax rate in the industrialized world. Regardless of whether you think this is good or bad for the economy, it has been a Republican policy wish for literally decades, and it finally got done under the Trump administration.\nThe terrorist group ISIS, which was a major Middle East security concern that plagued the Obama administration, has nearly vanished from world headlines. The U.S. had a large role to play in that victory.\nUS/Israeli relations are the best they've been in decades, and the Trump administration has been extremely friendly towards the Jewish state. Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem is widely seen as huge positive step among conservatives and Israel's supporters -- especially among Christian conservatives. Other countries have since followed America's lead.\nTrump held a peace summit in Singapore with North- and South Korean leaders to discus nuclear disarmament of the Korean peninsula. It was the first time in history that North Korean and U.S. leaders have met face-to-face for talks. And while it remains to be seen what will come of them (North Korea has reneged on its promises in the past), it is nonetheless historic. North Korea has already destroyed some military outposts along the border, and has begun removing land mines from the DMZ.\nTrump has appointed and continues to nominate conservative judges to federal courts and to the U.S. Supreme Court. This is another campaign promise he has fulfilled. Conservatives who oppose Trump still enjoy the fact that the conservative tilt to the federal judiciary will outlast his legacy as president.\nTrump is constantly fighting back in the culture war. Despite his over-the-top rhetoric and criticism of \"fake news\", conservatives have been broadly troubled by left-wing identity politics and what they perceive to be pervasive liberal media bias for quite some time. This is the one place where Trump's rhetoric is a win for him politically among conservatives. Even many people on the right who don't support Trump's presidency tend to agree with him on this, even if they take everything he says with a grain of salt. Some conservatives argue that this reason alone is what got him elected in the first place.\nPlease note that this is not an overt argument in support of Trump. I am merely laying out the case for why conservatives specifically have not disowned him outright. If you could separate Trump's character and the garbage he craps out on Twitter from the way he has actually governed as President, his policy agenda and accomplishments to date read almost like a conservative dream come true.\nAlso note that there are a lot of policy disagreements among conservatives as well that work to temper their support; his belief in tariffs and his cozy disposition with world dictators are notable examples.\nThe bottom line is that, unlike with previous presidents, you can't conflate Trump's popularity and his performance as a governor. As it stands now (December, 2018), it does not appear likely that he will be reelected. But it all depends what happens between now and then, and on who the Democrats pony up for the 2020 race.\n@xyious; Please clarify. 1) what never was? And what part of statement 2 is false? Aside from that, the OP wants to know the conservative viewpoint, so disagreement with anything on the list -- especially \"Republican talking points\" are irrelevant because those talking points are specifically what the OP was asking about. For example, #3. Doesn't matter if it was Trump or not; only that conservatives believe it was. \u2013 Wes Sayeed Dec 4 '18 at 22:24\n@xyious This answer is addressing the question with specifics. The accuracy and spin of the claims being made are not being discussed, just whether or not it is a claim Republicans agree with or use when defending a vote for Trump. And, just to clarify a side note, voters don't care about net migration. Republicans, in general, don't even really care about migration. They are opposed to illegal aliens coming to the US. A very important distinction. \u2013 David S Dec 4 '18 at 22:52\n@xyious Nowhere does it say that voters must vote based on reality.... \u2013 user3067860 Dec 4 '18 at 23:35\nDo any Trump supporters believe he actually has much to do with the demise of ISIS? \u2013 leftaroundabout Dec 5 '18 at 12:56\nHey, don't forget eroding trans rights, a recent favorite of right wing politics. \u2013 Adonalsium Dec 5 '18 at 19:28\nIt may seem like a tautology, but Trump is popular where he is popular. Such is the case with divisive figures. In order to remain in office, politicians in those areas where Trump is popular feel the need to heed the will of their own personal constiuency and embrace Trump.\nTo be fair, an opinion I share is that some of the popularity that Trump receives in no small part comes from how unpopular he is where he is in fact unpopular. That is to say that those who are ardent Trump supporters like him more because of who he upsets and how he goes about it. People running for office in these areas are more than likely going to embrace and hope to emulate the Trump presidential style because it makes them more popular where it actually matters for them. Someone running for congress from Oklahoma probably couldn't care less what Trump's poll numbers in California are. If he is popular in their district then they will continue to support him.\nFurther, according to the most recent Gallup Poll Trump maintains 89% job approval within the Republican party. By contrast, Barack Obama's job approval for Democrats in his last week in office was 95% which isn't too far above where Trump is. The two have drastically different approval ratings from Independents, with Trump having 39% most recently and Obama holding 61% in his last week.1\nIt is highly possible that the so-called \"Never Trumpers\" in the Republican party are in a tight spot, since they seem to be completely out of step with the rest of the Republican electorate. Many have already fled the Republican party which in cases of states with closed primaries means they have already abdicated any responsibility of helping the party choose the next nominee. Trump's style of always counter-attacking against perceived slights helps to keep all except the most outspoken against him in the party silent out of fear of retribution. This doesn't mean that those who approve of the job Trump is doing wouldn't support another Republican nominee more, but the current signs point to the Republican electorate being solidly behind Trump.\nI think you could be overestimating those politicians' overall popularity. Donald Trump wasn't supposed to be elected the first time around. I think you make a good point in that Clinton's unpopularity probably did help get him elected, but now that he's in office he is delivering on things that Republican voters want, so why would they switch?\n1- For completeness, Trump has 6% job approval from Democrats and Obama had 14% from Republicans.\nJeff LambertJeff Lambert\nComments are not for extended discussion; this conversation has been moved to chat. \u2013 Philipp\u2666 Dec 7 '18 at 10:02\nBecause they can't credibly convert Trump supporters.\nThe popular narrative is that Donald Trump's election represents some sort of \"whitelash\" against Democrats, Obama supporters, human decency, etc. But rich racist white people voted for Romney and McCain too.\nTrump clearly won on the backs of working-class voters. Of pretty much all races (outperformed the last two Republican candidates among both Hispanics and African Americans). How an outsider managed to capture such a large and valuable demographic is an interesting question in its own right, but I'll give you the Occam's Razor: that demo was being ignored by both major political parties.\nThink about it. 50 years ago pretty much all e.g. sitcoms were about working class people. 20 years ago most still were. Now almost none of them are. Those people have gradually been excluded from cultural relevance. Jobs have moved, and towns have died. Industries have changed. If anyone in Washington cares, it's awfully hard to see it from podunk.\nNow along comes this guy who says, hey I'm for you, I'm going to fight for you, I'm going to focus on you unlike these other yahoos...\nAnd the sad part, for those who don't like President Trump, is that nothing, nothing has changed about that dynamic since the election. Trump is still the king of his domain. Democrats aren't even an also-ran. They haven't made the first attempt to court those people. They have dismissed them as racists and/or opioid addicts. And there are plenty of Republicans who are going to say eh, I don't like him, but I'd still vote for him ahead of the other side.\nOn the marginalization of working class voters\nThere's been some discussion about this in the comments. So to show what I mean, here's an incomplete list of questions that seem (to me, based on living in the Midwest) to be on the minds of working-class voters, no particular order:\nWhat if the evidence for global warming is faked, or even just misinterpreted?\nWhat if a loss of manufacturing jobs destroys American small towns and the culture they represent?\nWhat if that culture is further threatened by waves of immigrants?\nOur politicians seem to be an entrenched bureaucracy of people who could broadly be defined as \"not us\". They're not even pretending to care about us anymore. What do we do now?\nIn terms of discussion on the national stage, the conversation is pretty lopsided. I frequently see point 4 brought up except the people doing so... aren't exactly the salt of the Earth. Points 2 and 3 are always couched in terms of money (we'll throw them a bone sometime! maybe!) and racism, respectively. It's never talked about in terms of culture/way-of-life. Few are willing to risk the labels that come with the media consensus on climate change. Well, except that one guy...\nAnd I'm frankly not sure what to make of all of this. Because while I'm from a small town, I went urban a long time ago and never really looked back. I'm educated, liberal (compared to them), etc. I'm one of the people they complain about. I've become one of the people they complain about. And I like the new culture better than the old. But I also know people. Good people. And I just don't see a crusader for their culture in e.g. Mitt Romney.\nAddendum #2: Why we can't have nice things\nI should thank the OP. This question is the gift that keeps on giving. In response to my 4 points above, a commenter responded with\nWhat if it's not? What if airplane jet trails were really chemicals designed to control the population? What if our leaders are actually lizard men? What if nonsensical what-if-questions were actually pointless?\nBetter not vote for free-market Republicans, because Capitalism says you should find new jobs or fade away. Fun fact, the current administration ended programs to help workers displaced by automation get training for in-demand fields.\nPeople who immigrated to the US are now worried about immigration? That's just funny.\nProbably not vote for billionaire con men.\nThink about how that sounds to the average middle American. Think about the message it conveys (regardless of whether or not it's true): you're too stupid to know what's good for you. Think about what the most likely response is. Saying that to someone is not going to make them meekly back down. It doesn't even matter if you're right. You think they're going to listen to someone who's belittling them? They're going to hate you, and they're going to react to you by allying themselves with something they know you hate. You (yes you) are actively encouraging people to vote for Trump. Please, please stop.\nThere's good stuff on the wider internet about how the \"two Americas\" isn't red states v blue states, rich v poor, white v black, but urban v rural. For as long as the majority of Americans are urban and our political system is expressly set up to empower the rural, this is the answer you're looking for. It's not even really a \"what if\" for the destruction of American small towns. It's happening. To many urban Americans, poverty looks like homelessness and panhandlers, but you've never seen the real depths of poverty until you've seen what happens when the last major employer leaves a town. \u2013 Alex H. Dec 5 '18 at 19:10\nHere's a list of a dozen recent or running sitcoms that disproves the bizarre claim that sitcoms about working class people almost don't exist. The Simpsons, The Middle, Mom, Superstore, Family Guy, The Conners, 2 Broke Girls, Young Sheldon, Speechless, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Mike & Molly, Kevin Can Wait \u2013 CrackpotCrocodile Dec 5 '18 at 20:06\nAlso, an important comment about a deceptive claim in this answer that has not been addressed: \"He outperformed the last two candidates with African Americans but underperformed all of the previous republican candidates. It's almost like the two elections with Obama had something different about them...\" \u2013 CrackpotCrocodile Dec 5 '18 at 20:33\n@JaredSmith But based on this data he's clearly less popular than his predecessors. That's what this data tells us, he is not popular among the group you claim. It's also somewhat misleading to use something only tangentially related to measure popularity. \u2013 CrackpotCrocodile Dec 6 '18 at 0:36\n\"that [working-class] demo was being ignored by both major political parties.\" This. Worse: popular left-wing commentators had been bad-mouthing working-class culture for decades even though democrats had relied on that demographic for the second half of the twentieth century. Neither party can credibly offer working-class people what they really want (the economic situation of the 1950s back), because technology (not immigrants) killed off plentiful high-paying, low-education-requirement jobs, but making fun of people with a solid work-ethic and hands-on skills was never going to work. \u2013 dmckee Dec 8 '18 at 23:47\nThere's an old English proverb that goes, \"In for a penny, in for a pound.\" It is an example of the sunk cost fallacy, basically saying that once we put some effort/money/worthwhile thing into a cause that we can't easily reverse, our tendency is to follow through to the end, for fear of 'wasting' that initial effort/money/worthwhile thing.\nThe Republicans spent boatloads of political capital and trashed decades of a good reputation for Trump when they saw he could get the things that they wanted from government, and he's been fairly successful at doing so. Unfortunately, Trump, like any good mob boss, requires loyalty and a willingness to get dirty on his behalf, and treats anyone who voices disagreement as an enemy. And as the midterms show, Republican enemies of Trump don't get re-elected. And as for getting dirty on his behalf? There seem to be plenty willing to do so.\nSo where does that leave us at? The Republicans aren't going to give up on Trump en masse, because that would mean that several of them will likely be charged as accessories to one or more crimes. And they're the only ones with the power to prevent that ending.\nCarduusCarduus\nAs long as you raise the midterms, I observe that the expected and typical Congressional swing toward the party opposite the sitting president's was much smaller than the Democrats hoped or early-on predicted, and candidates for whom Trump campaigned did very well. Surely many factors played into that, but overall it's not supportive of the premise that Trump faces unusually large dissatisfaction from within his own party, and certainly not of the premise that circumstances are ripe for him to be rejected as the party's 2020 candidate. \u2013 John Bollinger Dec 5 '18 at 20:11\nIt was the largest House swing in US history, even without factoring in the uphill battle against gerrymandering. Dems who wanted more than that were dreaming. As for your second point, I didn't state there was any widespread dissatisfaction with Trump, just that those who voice dissatisfaction turn to enemies and get ousted. As for 2020, that's purely academic given the overall legal situation. \u2013 Carduus Dec 5 '18 at 20:24\nIt was by no means the largest House swing in history. 12 midterm elections out of the last 28 exhibited larger losses for the President's party. Some of those were much larger, such as the 77-seat swing in 1922, the 72-seat swing in 1938, and the 63-seat swing as recently as 2010. The Dems may not have been realistic in forecasting a larger one than they got, but plenty did at one time think that their support was much greater and the Rs' much less than the polls ultimately showed. \u2013 John Bollinger Dec 5 '18 at 20:40\n@Carduus Please check facts on actual results: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_midterm_election - Obama and Bill did worse and they were \"more popular\" and got re-elected. \u2013 WernerCD Dec 7 '18 at 3:01\nElected Republicans have to support Trump, because the people who elected them support him.\nTrump may be unpopular in general, but among Republican voters he is not just popular, but very popular. Like second historically only to Bush at the start of the second Gulf War. Those kinds of numbers.\nThe US is a country where the vast majority of elected officials now live in \"safe\" districts. This means the primary is a much more dangerous election to most Republicans than the general election. Heck, even in a tossup district, you still have to first win a primary where the only voters are Republicans. Attacking the head of your own party when his approval is north of 85% (which is likely higher than your name recognition, let alone your approval rate), is a great way to commit electoral suicide.\nEffectively, with that kind of approval among the Republican electorate, an elected Republican's choices are support Trump, or be replaced by someone who supports Trump. That's it.\nT.E.D.T.E.D.\nTrump isn't \"unpopular\". His aggregate approval has largely been between 40% and 44% his entire time in office. That is in the same neighborhood of Reagan, Clinton, and Obama during this period in their time in office. \u2013 Rig Dec 6 '18 at 20:41\n@Rig - ...and when they do, they are called \"unpopular\". That's how this works. \u2013 T.E.D. Dec 8 '18 at 20:02\nso nearly every president in history was unpopular? Sorry, I'm just not buying your definition. Especially when we have Macron in France with an 18% approval rating right now. \u2013 Rig Dec 10 '18 at 3:35\n@Rig - At some point, yes nearly every POTUS has reached a level where they were being called \"unpopular\" in the media. If you don't like that fact, I'm really not the person to complain to about it. \u2013 T.E.D. Dec 10 '18 at 16:53\nThere's no hard proof for \"why\", but the following are all reasons stated at one time or another. They aren't mutually exclusive.\nHigh level Republicans don't want to antagonize Trump due to negative consequences from him.\nHigh level Republicans don't want to antagonize Trump due to negative consequences from their electorate who are Trump supporters.\nHigh level Republicans don't want to antagonize Trump due to negative consequences to the party from infighting. Both as far as morale, and opportunity cost (an hour/a dollar spent infighting is an hour/a dollar not spent opposing the other party).\nInevitability. Trump demonstrated that he can beat any even most formidable R opponents in primaries in 2016. It may very well be that people just take it for granted he's inevitably going to win 2020 primaries, so why spit upwind?\nTrump actually delivered on many things (see Wes Sayeed's excellent answer for a list). Arguably, more and more important things than R presidents before him. Bush may not have had any scandals and got re-elected, but what exactly did the conservatives get out of it as far as political achievements? (good question to ask on this site, but my impression is \"not much in second term\").\nTo paraphrase, if:\nP(T,E) = \"probability of Trump winning general election\"\nP(T,A) = \"probability of Trump delivering things Rs want\"\nP(R,E) = \"probability of Trump replacement winning general election\"\nP(R,A) = \"probability of replacement delivering R agenda\"\nthe calculation is as follows: is P(T,E) * P(T,A) < P(R,E) * P(R,A) ?\nWhile you can make legitimate arguments that P(T,E) is less than P(R,E) (someone else is less likely to lose a general election), you can ALSO make a legitimate argument that P(T,A) is far bigger than P(R,A) - some RINO Republican like Romney governing like Democrat Lite wouldn't really be much of a win for Republicans as far as agenda.\nSomewhat linked with 4, there are downsides to a non-Trump Republican winning 2020 General elections.\nDue to reversion to the mean, that would almost guaranteed assure 2024 Democrat win (and 2022 Democrat midterm win). Conversely, Democrat winning in 2020 may cause that to revert ala 2014.\nHaving an effective (as far as delivering agenda) R President is obviously worth such downsides.\nHaving an ineffective R president may not be.\nTrump demonstrated in practice that he can win. So, while you can make reasonable argument that he'd be more likely to lose in 2020 than 2016, you can also make reasonable arguments that he will manage to win 2020 more than a competing R candidate despite his weaknesses.\nI'm curious as to what you think Trump has actually delivered on. As far as I can see, most of what he's done that either hasn't been blocked by the courts, or that (like trade wars) he hasn't backtracked on are unpopular with the majority of voters. (Of course you have to stick to what he's actually done, not his inflated claims or outright lies.) \u2013 jamesqf Dec 4 '18 at 19:13\n@jamesqf - see Wes Sayeed's excellent answer. \u2013 user4012 Dec 4 '18 at 19:44\nRe \"Trump demonstrated in practice that he can win\", the midterm elections seem to have demonstrated that wholehearted support for Trump is not all that good for a Republican's chances of re-election. So it seems that for many of them the choice might be between a primary loss to a Trump supporter, or a general election loss to a Democrat. \u2013 jamesqf Dec 5 '18 at 17:58\n@jamesqf What are you on about? Multiple supreme court appointments. Like a hundred lower court appointments. Renegotiated NAFTA. Large reduction in corporate tax rates that were the highest in the industrialized world. Hard on illegal immigration. That's just a sampling of what he said he would do and what he has done. \u2013 Rig Dec 6 '18 at 20:43\n@Rig: Court apppointments are hardly accomplishments, as they depend on previous judges leaving. Replaced corporate taxes with tariffs, whose net effect will probably be even greater - typical Trump scam, borrow money and stiff the creditors. (Not to mention not cutting spending.) Talks a lot about illegal immigration, but has actually done nothing. (Though of course if he manages to completely ruin the economy, no one will want to come to the US.) \u2013 jamesqf Dec 7 '18 at 21:13\nDamage to the Party\nLike the asker suggested, Trump could be posing damage to the Republican brand. Anytime Republicans oppose Trump on an issue, he publicly disrespects them. He has attacked current and former Republican politicians, pundits, party supporters, and members including John McCain, Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Steve Bannon, Glenn Beck, Jeff Sessions, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, Rand Paul, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Nikki Haley, John Kasich, Megyn Kelly, Karl Rove, Marco Rubio, Charles Krauthammer, the Koch Brothers, the Fox News network, Lisa Murkowski, Sheppard Smith, Scott Walker, and Robert Mueller. Trump has hired and fired some prominent Republicans within the party establishment, including former RNC communications director Sean Spicer, former RNC chairman Reince Priebus, and former Republican senator Jeff Sessions. Some have said the 2018 mid-terms would be a referendum on the public's sentiments towards Trump, and in 2018, Republicans lost the House of Representatives (and by a wider margin than projections predicted) for the first time since 2008, and lost ground on many gubernatorial seats.\nThere have been many articles speculating that Trump is doing long-term damage to the Republican brand 1 2 3 4.\nOne consideration missing from other answers is the effect of spoilers during primaries. In the 2016 Republican primary, there were 12 candidates who ran in the primary, and 5 more in the mix who dropped-out before the primary. By most peoples' view, Trump was most unique among the field, whereas many other candidates were part of the tea party establishment, who either held public office as a Republican, or campaigned in previous Republican presidential primaries; and many of them had extremely similar policy positions and messages. In other words, the other 16 candidates were virtual spoilers or clones of each other. This put Trump in a position to dominate many of the earlier primary races, and this advantage of running against a field of clones would persist until the final three candidates (it's fair to say, at this point, that Ted Cruz and moderate John Kasich were as mutually different from one another as they were from Trump). It's been argued that towards the end of a primary process, some party members will get behind the candidate in the lead and give that candidate a big push so that they have big momentum coming out of the primary. If this is true, Trump's lead in pledged electors towards the end of the primary persuaded Republicans to support him more strongly during his final stretch against Cruz and Kasich.\nThe point I'm trying to make about spoilers isn't just about 2016, though. The question is... in 2020, will Trump have the same kind of advantage granted by spoilers, or could he have a disadvantage in the form of spoilers? It's always possible that the 2020 Republican primary field could be 4 candidates very similar to Trump (like Steve King, Roy Moore, Matt Gaetz), and only 1 candidate different from Trump's style (like John Kasich, Jeff Flake, or Susan Collins). Part of the reason that I propose this possibility is that more and more Republicans are emulating Trump's politics, meanwhile established party insiders rarely contest the seat of a sitting president. This could mean, in theory, lots of Trump clones, but very few establishment types (like Orrin Hatch, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Grassley). So... Trump's viability in the 2020 primary might be at risk, but there are no guarantees of that either.\nWhat Else Can Republicans Do?\nThere are basically two kinds of recourse I know of to remove Trump from office, which are defeating him in a 2020 party primary, and impeachment. Successfully impeaching Trump would required something like 18 Republican senators voting to convict. Any Republican senator in a heavily red state who voted to convict Trump could expect to face certain defeat in their next re-election. Even in swing states, it is certain that they would not win their next party primary as long as Trump's approval among Republicans is around 89%. Impeachment is not a realistic possibility, because political self-interest will trump any evidence of a crime. Another way of removing the president (but this is not entirely up to the RNC, as per the question) is by invoking Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment. This would require the action of the Vice President, and the collaboration of the majority of another body (I wonder if its sufficient to have the VP and the majority of the House of Representatives).\nThe most likely route to remove Trump from the Republican brand is to defeat him in a 2020 party primary. Another relevant battleground for this primary is going to be fundraising. A challenger to Trump's seat is going to need to gain favor with prominent Republican donors, and attempt to also court traditionally Democratic donors who want to enable a Trump defeat.\nHere are some top relevant donors in the 2018 election cycle according to opensecrets\nTop organization Republican donors: Las Vegas Sands, Adelson Drug Clinic, Uline Inc, American Action Network, Senate Leadership Fund, Blackstone Group, and Republican Governors Assocation.\nTop organization Democratic donors who also donate substantially to Republicans: None. Some contribute very small amounts to Republicans.\nTop Conservative or Moderate Super Pacs: Congressional Leadership Fund, Senate Leadership Fund, New Republican PAC, America First Action, DefendArizona, Club for Growth Action, With Honor Fund, National Assn of realtors, Patients for Affordable Drugs Action\nTop PACS who contribute substantially to Republicans (all of these contribute to Democrats as well): National Beer Wholesalers Assn, AT&T Inc, Northrop Grumman, National Assn of Realtors, Sheet Metal Air Rail and Transportation Union, American Bankers Assn, Operating Engineers Union, Credit Union National Assn, Lockheed Martin, etc.\nTop Republican individual donors: Sheldon Adelson, Richard Uihlein, Steve and Christine Schwarzman, Kenneth Griffin, Jeff Bezos, and Timothy Mellon.\nTop Democratic individual donors who also contribute to Republicans: Michael Bloomberg, Thomas Steyer and Kathryn Fahr, Donald Sussman, James Simons, George Soros, Fred Eychaner, and Deborah Simon.\nAlthough the Koch Brothers do not show-up in any of these lists by name, they are also understood to be a consistently large Republican donor, sometimes in amounts of hundreds of millions of dollars.\nAny challenger to Trump will have to lobby the top donors for their support. In the case of the Koch brothers, the sparring between Trump and the Koch brothers may motivate them to back a different candidate. Jeff Bezos is also not likely to back Trump in 2020, due to souring relations, but he was a big backer in 2016. Michael Bloomberg's opinion of Trump may lead him to back a Republican challenger (although he's shown more interest in actually running against Trump in 2020). Trump's attacks on George Soros make it plausible that Soros could back a Republican challenger. Sheldon Adelson seems to be a steady supporter of Trump. While Richard Uihlein has consistently backed MAGA Republicans like Roy Moore, it seems that he may be getting tired of backing losers and may be rethinking who he gets advice from (Uline Inc will also use its money in the same way). Thomas Streyer supports impeachment of Trump, so he will probably support anyone who can credibly challenge Trump. Donald Sussman donated big money to the Clinton campaign to oppose Trump, so he might support a 2020 challenger. American Action Network has been a big Trump supporter. AT&T looks to be at odds with Trump, but they also paid $600,000 to Michael Cohen.\nSupport of Voters\nAnything the RNC does to subvert the Trump administration is likely to incur backlash from the party's voters. Before taking its ultimate action (impeachment or whatever else), the party would first need to launch a substantial public relations campaign to become the voters' higher priority in relation to supporting Trump. The most prominent messaging system between the RNC and Republican voters is Fox News; so Fox News and its owner Rupert Murdoch are in a position to pick the winner of this fight. Fox News's coverage of Trump seems to be consistently supportive of him, barring a few exceptions out of thousands of hours of coverage. However, although Rupert Murdoch has a pretty close relationship with Trump, there is also tension within it 1 2. If Murdoch ever decided to shift Fox News coverage in a direction that prioritized the RNC over Trump, it could eventually pave the way for a big move by the RNC against Trump.\nThere is also the consideration that even if they defeat Trump, a petty unscrupulous vindictive spiteful person with the power of the Presidency who is not above harming everyone to strike back at those who have wronged him, will they be in a state to then defeat the Democratic candidate for President that election? \u2013 pluckedkiwi Dec 7 '18 at 17:59\nWhat you asked is very near opinion, so I will use my own opinion as an example. Keep in mind that I am using my opinions as an example, not to \"support Trump\" but because I think it shows a good example of why Republicans as a whole do not work towards his removal.\nAt the last election, I did not vote for Trump, though I do not consider myself Republican or conservative, by traditional means, and I even voted for and mostly liked Obama. However when voting, and during the run-up to the election, I was basically in the \"Anyone but Clinton\" camp. I am still happy that Clinton didn't win.\nNow it's a couple of years later, and I am overall happy with Trump's performance as a president. I do wish for a new amendment to the constitution that says President's can't have social media accounts. I do wish he would shut up sometimes, but as far as policy goes, what has gotten done, and what he has worked for is mostly in line with my ideals. Not all of it, but most, and I am happy with that.\nIn order for someone to replace Trump, they would have to have the same ideals and ability to get things done, that I want done, while at the same time not looking so terrible on social media.\nYou would be very hard pressed to \"sell\" me a democrat at all, right now. Even another Republican would take a very special mix.\nDo I support Trump? Not really, but I would rather have him than Clinton, probably another Democrat, and likely any Republican. I don't like him, but things are getting done. That's much better to me then nothing getting done.\nSo if the Republican party was to \"oust\" Trump, who could they offer in his place to keep my vote.\nHe has an overall 45% approval rating 1 Bush was at 37% 2 Obama was at 46% 3\nSay what you want, he seems to have some support.\nSomething not mentioned in the other answers is that...\nThere are only two parties in the US\nIf the Trump loses in 2020, which is far from certain, the Republicans will simply have to work to regain power in 2024 or 2028.\nConsider, for a moment, the viewpoint of the wealthy entities that provide funding for the lobbying organizations that currently influence (and to a certain extend, control) policy in Washington. From the viewpoint of most lobby groups, Democrats and Republicans are almost the same. Thus, they really don't care who is in power, just as long as they fund both sides during elections.\nSo the power behind all candidates doesn't seem to care if Trump is in power or not, so the Republicans also don't care.\nAnd considering how similar Democrats and Republicans are from the viewpoint of the powerful entities that fund lobbying organizations, it is largely irrelevant who holds power.\nWell, of course there aren't only two parties. There are generally only two viable parties at any given time due to the structure of US election rules (and the parties in power generally push policies to keep it that way). But realignments have happened (and nearly happened) in the past and could happen again in the future. Some commentators have suggested that Trump could be the catalyst for such a re-alignment, though I think that's still pretty speculative. \u2013 dmckee Dec 9 '18 at 0:03\n@dmckee Agreed. I'd like it, but I will believe it when I see it. Also, if there is a realignment, I doubt there would be any changes to bring about more flexibility in this party system. \u2013 axsvl77 Dec 9 '18 at 3:59\nlooses \u2192 loses \u2013 Peter Mortensen Dec 9 '18 at 21:56\nTrump's unpopularity stems not so much from his actions, as his abrasive NYC personality. New Yorkers tend to be brusque and abrupt in general, a byproduct of the hectic environment they live in. Trump personifies and in some cases amplifies the less pleasant aspects of that.\nSo far, his administration has done well in keeping the campaign promises he made - more than a typical president. Many of those promises were nonpartisan, to the benefit of everyone, such as lowering unemployment. And, so far, he hasn't taken any actions that have had a negative impact on a large number of citizens... like Obamacare sending heath care costs through the roof. The tariffs he put in place are designed to persuade other nations not to tax US goods in an inequitable manner, and they appear to be implementing that very persuasion. The EU has already agreed to modify it's taxes, and China is showing signs of making long overdue changes.\nWhile Trump may offend some people, he hasn't hurt the nation economically, and that's what really matters to voters in the end. If you look at the critique of Trump in the media, most of it is fairly superficial, a good deal of it is somewhat contrived or exaggerated - catering to an audience predisposed to believe only bad things about Trump. I was no fan of Obama after he sent my health care bill through the roof, but I never thought that justified removing him from office.\nIf you ask why the Republicans don't get rid of Trump, it's because there really isn't anything in what he has done, that calls for removal. Those of us who were around in the Nixon era remember the chaos that followed his resignation. Think long and hard before going that route... a lot of unintended consequences.\nThe closest parallel I can find is the Clinton/Lewinsky affair. No, that wasn't conduct becoming of a president. However, like Trump's acerbic remarks, that situation didn't materially affect the things that are truly important to most citizens: the state of the economy, and how well their personal financial situation is going. And it comes down to: better the devil you know, than the devil you don't know.\nComments are not for extended discussion; the conversation about whether the Affordable Care Act increased or reduced health care cost has been moved to chat.

        "title": "Movie Review: BIUTIFUL & Notes from Q&A with Javier Bardem \u2013 Pop Culture Nerd",
        "raw_content": "If you\u2019re familiar with Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu\u2019s past work\u2014Babel, 21 Grams, Amores Perros, etc.\u2014you probably suspect that the title is ironic because there\u2019s very little about Biutiful that\u2019s beautiful. It\u2019s a relentlessly bleak film about a grifter dying from cancer who\u2019s trying to ensure his two young children will be taken care of after he goes. Uxbal\u2019s shady dealings involve Chinese sweatshop workers making knockoff bags and Senegalese dealers who sell them. He also has a gift for seeing the dead and charges people a fee for communicating with their departed loved ones. Through it all, Uxbal is searching for some kind of redemption and I won\u2019t spill whether or not he finds it but will say that the movie is redeemed by Javier Bardem\u2019s so-deep-inside-the-character-he-disappears portrayal of Uxbal.\nBardem says in the post-screening Q&A (more details below) that when I\u00f1\u00e1rritu asked him to do the movie, he didn\u2019t just ask him if he wanted to play Uxbal, he asked if Bardem would like to go on a life journey and that\u2019s a more accurate description of what the actor put on screen. We can almost see Uxbal dying from frame to frame, his body deteriorating as his desperate need to protect his children grows more intense. Bardem\u2019s amazing work ranks among the best of 2010, right up there with Colin Firth\u2019s in The King\u2019s Speech and James Franco\u2019s in 127 Hours, but I don\u2019t know if he\u2019ll get as much as love from Oscar voters who might hesitate to sit through two and a half hours of such depressing stuff. With subtitles.\nSet in a much uglier part of Barcelona than the Woody Allen movie about Vickie and Christina, Biutiful covers weighty themes such as spirituality, a father\u2019s love, mortality, bipolarity, and the immigrant experience. Any of these topics could fill a whole movie but I\u00f1\u00e1rritu wanted to put them all in this one. I respect his ambition but the film ends up being rambling, with too much happening to too many characters, all of whom we\u2019d care about more if only we get to spend more time with each. I often wanted to stay with Uxbal\u2019s two children, heartbreakingly played by Hanaa Bouchaib and Guillermo Estrella (above), but instead got wrenched away to unnecessary scenes like Uxbal getting wasted in a nightclub or a clandestine gay love affair between two minor characters. Bardem does heavy lifting as the anchor and narrative throughline but he can only do so much.\nAfter the screening I attended, Bardem came out to do Q&A and was a stark and welcome contrast to his character. The actor, looking healthy, handsome, and 10 years younger than Uxbal, bounced out onto the stage, full of energy and good humor. When the audience gave him a standing ovation for his performance, he said, \u201cI\u2019m not that old!\u201d After confirming it was a SAG screening and he was in a room full of actors, his reaction was, \u201cI\u2019m in deep shit! I can\u2019t pretend with you guys!\u201d\nBardem spoke at length about his intense process for Biutiful, alternating between jokes and a serious sense of devotion to his craft. Some highlights:\nThe shoot was 5 months, 6 days a week, 14 hours a day with 3 months of prep before production started. Day 2 of shooting was the scene in which Uxbal received the bad news about his cancer and I\u00f1\u00e1rritu did many takes. \u201cI died 100 times!\u201d Maintaining that emotional state for so long made Bardem feel lost. It took him about 6 or 7 months after production wrapped to completely leave Uxbal behind. Reactions in his life were not his, they were Uxbal\u2019s. He started feeling a little anxious, like his life was going too fast. \u201cBut it\u2019s worth it,\u201d said Bardem. \u201cWe don\u2019t choose what we do; we need to.\u201d\nHe was very concerned for the child actors who played his kids since they had to perform such sad scenes. He was often torn between staying in character and clowning around with them between scenes to lighten things up. But he eventually found the kids were okay \u201cjumping in and out of the fiction.\u201d It reminded him of playing during recess at school when he was 5. When the teacher said he had to go back to class, \u201cI didn\u2019t say, \u2018Wait, I [need a moment] to leave my character behind.'\u201d\nIn contrast, \u201cOn No Country for Old Men, I felt nothing and they gave me an Oscar! I was speaking English!\u201d\nHe told a funny story about working \u201cfor six hours\u201d with Michael Mann on Collateral, his first movie in English. Mann spoke in such a low voice, Bardem, already struggling with the language, had no idea what the director wanted. Too intimidated to ask Mann to repeat himself, Bardem would nod and do the scene. Mann would come over and say something else, again unintelligible to the actor. This went on for 30 takes before Mann finally said, \u201cTHAT\u2019s what I wanted!\u201d\nIn discussing Uxbal\u2019s gift for communicating with spirits in the movie and whether he believed in such things, Bardem said his father died when the actor was 26. Bardem refused to believe he\u2019ll never see his dad again but doesn\u2019t believe in institutions that have created whole worlds after death. In his research, he spoke with three women who told him his father was present. They told him things his father would know, in ways his father would say them. But he didn\u2019t want to give in \u201cto give it too much power. We have to live life; everything is not written.\u201d\nHe also talked to immigrants for research. They opened their homes to him and he stayed with them. It became an emotional experience for him, \u201cnot just an intellectual idea.\u201d\nWhen a woman from the audience asked him a question in Spanish, he jokingly translated by saying, \u201cWhen am I going to do porno? They fired me!\u201d\nHe enjoys watching his movies. \u201cI like to watch my stupid big face on screen!\u201d\nBardem\u2019s mother is 71 and has been working as an actress since she was 15. His grandparents were actors during a time when they couldn\u2019t be buried on sacred ground. \u201cWe are excellent prostitutes!\u201d Bardem joked. His mother didn\u2019t want him to be an actor \u201cbut at the end of the day, the only thing important is the work. Don\u2019t buy anything when people tell you you\u2019re great or you suck.\u201d\nNerd verdict: Movie not so Biutiful but Bardem\u2019s work is magnificent\nPhotos: Jose Haro\nMovie Discussion: SKYFALL\nWow, Bardem sounds like a cool dude. He spoke a bit at a Q&A following NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN a few years back and he was hilarious. Glad to hear that despite the subject matter of the film, he maintained his sense of humor!\nAs far as the movie goes, haven\u2019t seen it yet, but am dying (pun intended) to see Javier\u2019s performance! \ud83d\ude42\nI heart all things Javier Bardem. I will need to check this movie out.\nExcellent review and summary of the Q&A, Elyse. As sad and depressing as this sounds, it seems like an extraordinary film and performance. Thanks so much for this.\nToo bad that the movie didn\u2019t work, because the story sounds as though it should have been a winner.\nArgh, I do wish actors and performances I\u2019d love to see weren\u2019t so often in movies I\u2019m going to feel anguished over. {Selfish, I know.} I so want to see Javier Bardem in this role but maybe I\u2019d better have The Sound of Music ready to watch as soon as I arrive back home! He sounds as charming as I imagine him to be. If not more. I didn\u2019t know that was possible.\nThanks for the astute and objective review as always, PCN.\nI haven\u2019t seen it. Missed it and they removed it from theaters here in Mexico. But many of my friends have highly recommended it, and they said Bardem gave a hell of a performance.\nI guess I\u2019ll have to wait til I can see it in DVD.\nThings I Observed and/or Learned During Holiday Travels",

        "title": "Movie Review: The Nun | Prague TV - Living Like a Local! Jobs, News, Lifestyle and More ...",
        "raw_content": "Dark and foggy gothic horror makes a comeback in a Conjuring prequel\nThe Nun (Sestra)\nWith Demi\u00e1n Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, Charlotte Hope, Ingrid Bisu, Bonnie Aarons\nDrive-ins and cinema grindhouses used to thrive on gothic horror films, filled with dark and foggy cemeteries, crumbling castles, terrified peasants, unholy forces and a plot that often relies on a visual sense more than any coherent logic.\nThe Nun, the latest entry in the Conjuring cinema universe, brings viewers back to that nostalgic world, with somewhat better special effects but retaining the sense of style over substance.\nThe film takes place in 1952, and is an origin story for the ghostly nun that turns up in 2016\u2019s The Conjuring 2, with a story set in 1976. It currently comes first chronologically in the series.\nThe filmmakers couldn\u2019t resist setting the story in Romania, the modern-day home of the classic horror film location Transylvania. They conveniently overlook that in 1952, Romania was a communist county and also that it largely is Romanian Orthodox and not Roman Catholic.\nThe film jumps right into action, with literally all Hell breaking loose at a massive castle/convent that has endless dark and gloomy corridors but not many (living) people.\nThis leads the Vatican to send a priest, Father Burke (played by Demi\u00e1n Bichir), and novice nun, Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga), to investigate.\nRomania does not disappoint. Even though it is the 1950s, the investigators have to ride in a horse-drawn wagon on unpaved roads. The driver, called Frenchie (Jonas Bloquet), of course takes a bit of an interest in the pretty novice nun, who has not yet taken her final vows.\nCrooked tombstones seem to be a decorating fad, as they are everywhere. Villagers refuse to talk about the convent, and would rather spit instead when it is mentioned.\nAnd somebody left the smoke machine on overnight.\nThe investigators fall headlong into an almost psychedelic array evil visions and bizarre occurrences, barely recovering from one incident before another starts. And just for fun, there is a flashback to the Middle Ages to add a further gruesome layer to the story and another foray through time to some incidents in World War II.\nThe convent seems to be an endless maze as no time is spent in explaining the layout. Good nuns and evil apparitions are dressed the exact same, so it is hard to tell who to trust.\nSome of the frights are fairly obvious \u2014 sudden apparitions, slamming doors and loud noises, but there is also a sense of fear and dread built up over the long term. The film essentially becomes a nightmare that you can\u2019t force yourself to fully wake up from.\nWhile there is a certain underlying sense of campiness, with the tombstones so numerous and fog so thick it is almost comical, the cast plays through all of the genre cliches and tropes as if they were still fresh.\nThe overall mood of the film is reminiscent of the 1960s and \u201970s horror films from Italy like Mario Bava\u2019s classic Black Sunday and his overlooked Kill, Baby, Kill.\nThere are also nods to 1930s films like Dracula and Frankenstein, with the villagers in fear of the nearby castle, and even the Spanish-made Blind Templar films, with the flashback to medieval sorcery.\nActress Taissa Farmiga is the much younger sister of Vera Farmiga, who starred in The Conjuring 2. The sisters look very much alike. Taissa has become known as a scream queen, appearing in several TV horror series. She is good at the roles and evokes a lot of sympathy here with her struggles.\nDemi\u00e1n Bichir is just adequate as the shopworn priest struggling with mistakes in his past but does not stand out in particular, often overwhelmed by the special effects. Jonas Bloquet also brings little new to the role of the womanizer attracted to a novice nun.\nThis is director Corin Hardy\u2019s second film after 2015\u2019s The Hallow, which had generally good reviews citing the mood and atmosphere.\nHe seems well-versed in the horror genre, picking key elements from different sources and fusing them together to create a good sense of atmosphere.",

        "title": "What I\u2019ve learnt from some of the best property investment minds in Australia",
        "raw_content": "What I\u2019ve learnt from some of the best property investment minds in Australia\nLatest, News & Features, Property Investment\nAround a year ago I started a podcast for our property investor clients with the aim of assisting them to get the most out of their investing.\nWe look after their depreciation schedules, but I wanted to put them in touch with experts to assist them with investing overall.\nThe statistics show us that more than two thirds of property investors only ever purchase one investment property.\nThis tells me that investors may not be getting that first investment right, and that a lot of people are not going to reach retirement with the income that they\u2019d like.\nAfter interviewing some of the brightest property and investment minds in Australia, I thought I\u2019d share five common threads that are key ingredients for successful property investment.\nBy the way\u2026I haven\u2019t interview Michael Yardney yet, but he really should be at the top of the list of the best property minds \u2013 so I\u2019ve recently invited him on to my show.\n1. Spend less than you earn and invest the difference\nIt\u2019s certainly the case that some things in life are elegantly simple.\nThis bit of advice seems too trivial to even have as a point but it\u2019s one of the key forces stopping people from achieving their financial goals.\nIt was Pete Wargent from episode 1 that first introduced this concept.\nHis idea comes from the power of compound returns.\nHe himself has been taking money from his salary every month and chipping it into index funds for decades, but the idea runs even deeper than that.\nThis idea comes up so often in the interviews that I have a standard joke about how I\u2019m screwing it up myself.\nWhen I was 20 years old, it would be a bit of a treat for me to spend $12-16 for a bottle of wine.\nAs I got to the mid-twenties, my price range was around the $18-$22 mark.\nThese days around $22-$24 is about my average spend with an occasionally thirty something thrown in the mix.\nIt sounds silly but what\u2019s happened here is my expectations have ratchetted up in parallel with my income.\nWithout really thinking about it, I\u2019ve found myself with an extra few bucks in the pay packet and found an easy way to relieve myself of them.\nSociety is conspiring against us, there\u2019s a million ways you can relieve yourself of extra money, and psychologically the harder we work and the more we earn, the more we believe we deserve these extra rewards.\nNobody is telling you how to spend any extra money, but the experts are warning us about this phenomenon.\nIf you want to achieve your financial goals, it\u2019s clearly important to observe this phenomenon, and keep your expectations in check, for the greater goal of where you want to be in ten, twenty or thirty years\u2019 time.\nInvesting for financial security, or retirement is a long game and the best time to start was yesterday.\nAnything you can spare now will pay compounded dividends in the future.\n2. Property investing is a long-term game\nIn Australia, the average length of time we\u2019re holding real estate according to a 2015 CoreLogic study is 10.5 years.\nIn 2017 CoreLogic also provided the following gem from the September quarter of 2016:\n\u201cHomes that resold at a loss had a typical length of ownership of 6.1 years, but for those which sold at a gross profit, the typical length of ownership was recorded at 9.1 years.\u201d \u2013 CoreLogic\u2019s Head of Research, Cameron Kusher\nNow these numbers might move around a bit, but you must ask the question why are people selling at a loss in the first place?\nMy guess is further outlined in point five, but what this quote does tell us is that successful investing must at least be a decade long operation.\nWe all know that property moves in cycles.\nIf you look at rolling annual percentage price increases in the combined capital cities, you\u2019ll see peaks in 2002, 2008, 2011 and 2018.\nThe global financial crisis created a bit of a peak and a trough across this timeframe which added maybe an extra peak .\nEither way, we could say that there\u2019s roughly an eight-year cycle from peak to peak over the last twenty years.\nTime in the market is more important than timing the market, but it is possible to do both. Consider though the likelihood of missing a second peak in the cycle if you\u2019re selling within ten years of ownership.\nPatience is difficult with investing, but it\u2019s a key skill that investors need to master.\n3. Get your due diligence right and know why you\u2019re investing in and area\nOne of the things I\u2019ve tried to educate investors on is not just buying the property around the corner.\nYou might think you know the area well, but what you know about it is maybe not what\u2019s going to drive price growth.\nFor example, do you know the main employers and what\u2019s happening within their industry?\nDo you know the infrastructure spending in the pipeline?\nWhat about the days on market trend or the new construction approvals?\nAll these aspects are key to selecting an area.\nIn episode 4, Simon Pressely suggests that what we tend to know about our local market are things like where the cafes are and where the best place to fill up with petrol us.\nDue diligence is an extremely important thing to get right, and the statistics around the number of properties investors own suggests we\u2019re not always nailing it.\nIn episode 11, Brett Warren talks about his checklist, which includes areas with a high percentage of owner occupiers, location wage growth and disposable income, proximity to public transport, walkability, school catchments and more.\nThere is a myriad of things you can look at, including what the suburb looks like during a downturn.\nAside from area due diligence, there\u2019s the property itself.\nJames Freudigmann in episode 9 looks at things like public housing proximity, caveats and easements, nearby development applications and zoning changes.\nAll these points have implications for the long-term capital growth of the property.\nDoing the due diligence is the most important part of selecting a property with the best chance of capital growth, and too often investors cite reasons for purchasing a property being a media article, a velvet tongued property spruiker or a mate at a barbeque.\n4. The property comes last and the plan comes first\nAs investors, we like to think about the fun stuff, like finding the property, negotiating a price and cracking a bottle of champagne to celebrate the new addition to the portfolio.\nI hate to be the fun police, but without a plan for what you\u2019re trying to achieve, you\u2019re likely to select the wrong property.\nLuke Harris in episode 16 calls it \u2018putting the cart before the horse,\u2019 and is a big advocate in writing down a plan with a number and a date on it.\nYour plan is likely to dictate whether high yielding properties are important to you, or the leverage you\u2019re prepared to go to.\nPaul Sonntag from episode 2 works heavily with financial planners to assist his clients to have a plan so he can focus on helping them find the best property that fits their unique situation and strongly advocates that the plan comes before the property.\nIn short, without a goal in mind, you\u2019re likely to take more of a zig zag route from A to B and there\u2019s no way of testing to see if you\u2019re on track, or completely the wrong path.\nWith a detailed plan you\u2019ll know the type to investments and returns you\u2019ll need to achieve your end goal.\n5. Always have a cash buffer\nCheck out the Governments \u2018money smart\u2019 website and you\u2019ll see they suggest putting at least $10,000 in an emergency savings fund to give you some breathing space with life\u2019s ups and downs.\nWithout breathing space, you\u2019re likely to have to make decisions that have you deviating from your plan.\nSuch as taking out a personal loan or being forced to sell an investment property.\nChristine Williams in episode 3 suggests having an offset account, especially if the bank offers it to you.\nShe says \u201cI\u2019ve heard people say you\u2019ve got to have three months mortgage repayments, but it\u2019s not just the three months\u2019 worth of mortgage repayments on the investment property, it\u2019s actually three months\u2019 worth of your own mortgage repayments plus the investment property, plus rates and so forth. \u201c\nLet\u2019s say you have a property that\u2019s grown solidly over the last few years, but you\u2019ve just lost your job, the tenant has vacated, and rates are due.\nMost people wouldn\u2019t hesitate to sell the property.\nFor the sake of having $20,000 to $50,000 you could avoid having to take a bad job because you need the money, having to sell a good quality asset and the stress of putting food on the table.\nConsider a $500,000 investment property in NSW for example.\nAdd up the stamp duty, mortgage registration and transfer and you\u2019re in the hole for just over $18,000.\nSuddenly you\u2019re down 3.7% on your investment from day one.\nAdd to that the time to do your due diligence, the solicitor or conveyancers cost, the real estate agent as well as the pest and building.\nGetting in and out of property is expensive, more reason not to do it too often, or if you don\u2019t need to.\nThis is the power of the cash buffer.\nAbout Mike Mortlock\nMike Mortlock is a Tax Depreciation expert, Quantity Surveyor and Managing Director of MCG Quantity Surveyors.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb News \u00bb Comparing Adverse Effects of Marijuana, Alcohol\nComparing Adverse Effects of Marijuana, Alcohol\nThe emerging debate about whether marijuana is \u201csafer\u201d than other substances has led to a new study documenting how alcohol and marijuana use impacts the psychosocial well-being of high school seniors.\nResearchers affiliated with New York University published the study online ahead of print in the American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse.\nInvestigators analyzed data from a nationally representative sample of high school seniors in the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study.\nMTF is a nation-wide ongoing annual study of the behaviors, attitudes, and values of American secondary school students.\nStudents were asked to indicate whether they experienced various adverse psychosocial outcomes resulting from use of each substance. The authors analyzed data from 7,437 students (modal age: 18) from cohorts assessed from 2007 through 2011 who reported using alcohol or marijuana in their lifetime.\n\u201cThe paucity of research is of particular public health concern as alcohol and marijuana are the two most commonly used psychoactive substances among adolescents,\u201d said Joseph J. Palamar, Ph.D., M.P.H.\n\u201cNearly half of high school seniors have used marijuana in their lifetime and over two-thirds have used alcohol, but few studies have compared adverse psychosocial outcomes of alcohol and marijuana directly resulting from use.\u201d\n\u201cThe most alarming finding was that alcohol use was highly associated with unsafe driving, especially among frequent drinkers,\u201d said Palamar.\n\u201cCompared to non-drinkers, frequent drinkers were over 13 times more likely to report that their alcohol use has led to unsafe driving.\nMarijuana users, compared to non-users, were three times more likely to report unsafe driving as a direct result of use.\u201d\nThe researchers also found that alcohol use was more commonly reported to compromise relationships with friends and significant others (e.g., boyfriends); it was also reported to lead to more regret, particularly among females.\nMarijuana use on the other hand was more commonly reported to compromise relationships with teachers or supervisors, result in less energy or interest, and result in lower school or job performance.\nFemales in particular were more likely to report engaging in behaviors they regretted after using alcohol.\nThey were also more likely than males to report feeling less emotionally stable, and not being able to think as clearly due to alcohol use.\nWhite students were more likely to report various adverse outcomes resulting from alcohol use such as engaging in behavior that one regrets, inability to think clearly, and driving unsafely.\nInterestingly, researchers found that both frequent and infrequent marijuana users were more likely to report no adverse outcomes associated with marijuana use.\n\u201cNot unexpectedly, we found that the higher the frequency of use, the higher the risk of reporting an adverse outcome,\u201d said Palamar.\n\u201cIn particular, the relationship between frequent alcohol use and regret was much stronger than the relationship between frequent marijuana use and regret.\u201d\nOverall, females were at higher risk for reporting the majority of adverse outcomes assessed by MTF.\nRacial or ethnic minorities (most often black students) were at decreased risk for many adverse outcomes, and this \u201cprotective\u201d effect tended to be more pronounced for alcohol than marijuana.\nThe researchers found that marijuana users are more likely than those who drink alcohol to face negative perceptions, possibly even more so from authoritative figures.\nMarijuana use was more associated with reports of being involved with \u201cbad\u201d influences, possibly because marijuana use is illegal and thus peers who use or sell may also be subject to the disapproval and/or stigma.\nThe researchers did not find significant differences between alcohol and marijuana use with regard to general lifetime use and trouble with police.\nHowever, not surprisingly, compared to alcohol, frequent marijuana users (i.e., used >40 times) were 23 times more likely to report getting into trouble with the police.\n\u201cAs a controlled substance, mere possession of marijuana may increase the risk of significant legal consequences compared to an age-restricted legal substance such as alcohol, so this was not unexpected,\u201d said Palamar.\n\u201cSmoking marijuana also tends to leave a strong odor, which can easily draw attention to authorities.\nHowever, we found no racial differences with regard to getting in trouble with police because of marijuana use. Results might have been different if we focused on older individuals or only those who reside in big cities.\u201d\nThe researchers stress that marijuana and alcohol are associated with unique adverse outcomes in teens.\nOutcomes differ by sex and race/ethnicity, and perception or experience of adverse outcomes may also be related to legal status and associated stigma.\nPublic health interventions may be more effective by focusing on prevention and harm reduction strategies for these drug-specific outcomes.\n\u201cWe hope that the findings of this study will contribute to the ongoing debate on marijuana policy and its perceived harm when compared to alcohol,\u201d concluded Dr. Palamar.\nNauert PhD, R.

        "raw_content": "016 JANUARY / FEBRUARY '19 FIRST LOOK context is genuinely applicable, and not included to \"spice up\" a story. One of Oxygen's highest-rated shows to date was Academy Award- nominated director Joe Berlinger's The Unspeakable Crime: The Killing of Jessica Chambers, which examined the murder of 19-year old Chambers and the trial of Quinton Tellis, the African American man accused of the crime. Aissa says that within that series, producers had to tackle the issue of race. Although it wasn't the driving focus of the narrative, it was certainly part of the discussion that surrounded the attention the case has received, with racial tension arising in the town where the crime took place in its aftermath. \"If it's something someone is just trying to put in to create the narrative then that is something we don't want to do,\" he says. Similarly, race and attitudes towards it played roles within New York-headquartered Lucky 8's The Disappearance of Phoenix Coldon for Oxygen. Coldon, a young African American woman, went missing in December 2011 in her hometown of East St. Louis. Coldon's parents and assorted commentators maintain that what appeared to be a relative lack of media coverage of the case could be pinned to what PBS journalist Gwen Ifill termed as \"Missing White Woman Syndrome\" \u2014 what is considered to be disproportionate coverage of crime cases involving white, middle-class women. \"Race, sexual identity, all these things can be included in a true crime story, but [they] can't be forced in,\" Aissa says. Stories that naturally reflect such context and interweave larger social issues can, and do, connect with audiences. The Unspeakable Crime is Oxygen's highest-rated weekly premiering series since the July 2017 true crime rebrand among the 18-49 demo, and women in the 18-49 and 25-54 demos. The Disappearance of Phoenix Coldon had 426,000 total viewers in the second and final episode, up 23% from the premiere. Recently, Investigation Discovery teamed up with civil rights advocacy organization The American Southern Poverty Law Centre for Hate in America which explores the organization's work in fighting hatred and hate crimes across the United States. \"Civil rights is a big part of justice in this country and is why we tackled these issues in the past,\" says Bennett. Beyond concerns over access and approach, the execs realscreen talked to say that producers embarking on true crime projects should always utilize the key tool for any documentarian: an open mind. When covering crime, it's a must, for the sake of the victims, the families and others involved, and for justice itself. \"We don't want to lock ourselves into just one way of thinking [about a case] because it may unfold in a different way,\" says Aissa. We don't want to lock ourselves into one way of thinking [about a case] because it may unfold in a different way.\" Oxygen's The Disappearance of Phoebe Coldon explored wider issues of race in the context of criminal cases.

View More\nThe essence of keeping score about everything cannot be overemphasized. A performance measurement system may provide an early warning detection system indicating what has happened; diagnose reason for the current situation; and indicate what remedial action should be taken. Businesses rely on performance measurement systems to provide a feedback on the health of the business. The balanced scorecard (BSC) framework suggests the use of non-financial performance measures via three additional perspectives, i.e. customer, internal business process, learning and innovation to supplement traditional financial measures, believing that if used in that way, the scorecard addresses a serious deficiency in traditional management systems: their inability to link a company's long term strategy with its short term actions. This paper highlights the issues and combination of factors that influences the adaptation of the balanced scorecard model to the IT function and draws attention to cases of organisations that have attempted to implement the balanced scorecard to their IT departments, highlighting their challenges and rewards.",

        "raw_content": "History of Electricity in Indonesia\nThe existence of national electricity was not apart from the invention of electricity and technology supporters before the era of industrial revolution in Europe. Based on historical documents held by the National Electricity Company (PLN), the national electricity was introduced in colonial times. In the late 19th century during the Dutch occupation of the first power plant was established.\nPower plant was owned by Dutch company that was a sugar factory and the tea factory that served to support production operations. While the utilization of electricity for public interest started by the Dutch private company that was N V. Nign, which originally specialized in gas and then expanding its business in the field of electricity supply for public benefit. In 1927 the Dutch government established s\u2019Lands Waterkracht Bedriven (LWB), namely state power company that manages Plengan hydropower, Lamajan hydropower, Bengkok Dago hydropower, Ubrug hydropower and Kracak in West Java, Giringan hydropower in Madiun, Tes hydropower in Bengkulu, Tonsea Lama hydropower in North Sulawesi and Steam power plant in Jakarta. In addition, in some Township formed Municipal electric companies.\nIn the Japanese occupation period, all assets owned by the Dutch in Indonesia were taken over. Included were electricity companies and personnel in the company. In short the Japanese occupation period (3.5 years) and the scorched earth policy adopted at that time made the Japanese electricity industry was not developed during this era.\nMastery of the electricity industry by the Indonesian nation begins when entering the independence. Spearheaded by the youth, workers, and employees in the electricity and gas company by taking over the power company previously controlled by the Japanese. Labor groups and employees of this electrical company, and then form a delegation to face and report the results of their struggle in the Central of National Committee of Indonesia (KNI), headed by M. Kasman Singodimedjo, in September 2009. Furthermore, the delegation together with the leadership of the Central KNI meet President Soekarno, to deliver electricity companies and gas to the Government of the Republic of Indonesia. The delivery was received by President Sukarno, and then with Decree of the Government No. 1, 1945 dated October 27, 1945 Electricity and Gas Division was established under the Ministry of Public Works and Power. October 27, was later determined to be the day of Electricity and Gas.\nMastery of the electricity company by the Indonesian people is not necessarily accepted by the Dutch. Through Aggression Dutch I and II, controlled electric companies back by the Dutch Government as the original owner. Electrical Workers and employees who did not receive this back then flee mastery and incorporate themselves in the offices of Electricity and Gas Division in the Republic of Indonesia which was not occupied by the Dutch.\nIn 1952 the Government of Indonesia issued Presidential Decree Number 163, dated October 3, 1953 About the Nationalization of Foreign Nations-owned electricity company in Indonesia. Nationalization would be the Government of Indonesia to a foreign power company if the concession period runs out. Five years after the policy was implemented, the Government of Indonesia issued Law Number 86 Year 1958 dated December 27, 1958 About the Nationalization of all Dutch companies and Government Regulation Number 18 Year 1958 about Electric And Gas Company Nationalization of Dutch.\nThis started the era of mastery of national electricity sector by the government. To perform its function then the government established the Perusahaan Listrik Nasional (PLN) or National Electricity Company to meet the electricity needs of the community. In 2004, PLN was formerly a Perusahaan Umum (Perum) or public company changed its status to a Perseroan Terbatas (PT) Limited Company. A year after the turn of the PT. PLN to form subsidiaries, namely PT Pembangkitan Jawa-Bali (PJB I) and the Pembangkitan Jawa-Bali II (SPA II). On October 30, 2000 PT. PJB I changed its name into PT. Indonesia Power.\nVISION AND MISSION OF ELECTRICITY SECTOR\nElectric Power Sector Vision\nVision electricity sector is to electrify all households, villages and meet the needs of the fast growing industry in sufficient quantities, transparent, efficient, reliable, safe and familiar environment to support the growth of national economy and improving people\u2019s welfare.\nMission Electric Power Sector\nTo meet the needs of electric power according to this vision, the Government took the following steps:\ngenerate electricity on a large scale for urban communities, areas of high density level or large electrical systems;\ngiving priority to power generation from renewable energy for rural electrification and remote areas;\nmmaintain electricity safety and preservation of environmental functions; and\nmaking use the most of labor, goods and services produced locally.\nNATIONAL ELECTRICITY SECTOR POLICY\nElectricity Supply Policy\nElectric power as one of infrastructure-related lives of many people, therefore electricity development must adhere to the principle of benefit, efficiency, equitable, sustainable, economic optimization in the utilization of energy resources, relying on its own abilities, sound business principles, security and safety, preservation of environmental functions, and regional autonomy.\nElectricity supply is controlled by the state of implementation is carried out by the Government and Local Government based on the principle of local autonomy. For the implementation of power supply, the Government and Local Government in accordance with the authority to set policy, regulation, supervision, and conduct electricity supply business. Implementation of the electricity supply business by the Government and Local Government conducted by state-owned enterprises and regional-owned enterprises. However, private enterprises, cooperatives and community group organizations can participate in the electricity supply business. For electricity supply, the Government and Local Government provides funding to less able community groups, the construction of electricity supply in underdeveloped areas, the construction of electric power in remote and border areas, and construction of rural electrification. The supply of electricity to the public interest include the type of business power generation, power transmission, power distribution and / or sale of electricity. In addition, the supply of electricity to the public interest can be integrated. The supply of electricity for public interest carried out by a single entity in one area of \u200b\u200bbusiness. Restricted business areas also apply to the supply of electricity to the public interest that only covers the distribution of electricity and / or sale of electricity. The government has a policy in the electricity supply that the state-owned enterprises were given first priority to the supply of electricity to the public interest. As for the unserved areas of electricity, according to the Government or Local Government authority providing opportunities for local-owned enterprises, private enterprises, or cooperatives, as the organizer of an integrated electricity supply business. In the absence of regionally owned enterprises, private enterprises, or cooperatives that can provide electric power in the region, the Government shall assign state-owned enterprises to provide electricity.\nRate electricity tariff\nGovernment Policy on the basic electricity tariff is that the electricity tariff in stages and planned directed to achieve the economic value so that the average electricity tariff to recover the costs. This policy is expected to give a positive signal to investors in investing in the electricity sector. Determination of appropriate tariff policy made economic value. However, electricity rates for consumers determined by considering the balance of national interests, local consumers, and electricity supply businesses. Especially for less able customers to also consider the customer\u2019s ability to pay. Policy of subsidy for electricity tariffs are still enforced, but given the limited ability of the Government, the subsidy will be routed directly to the less able customer groups and / or to the development of rural and remote areas of development by considering or prioritize rural / regional and community that it deserves to get electricity in order to move the local economy. Electricity tariff policy that is not uniform (non-uniform tariff) may be enforced in the future, this is related to differences in the development of electricity development from one region to other regions.\nPrimary Energy Utilization Policies For Electric Power Generation\nPolicy for utilization of primary energy for power generation is intended for primary energy supply can be guaranteed. To maintain security of supply, the policy enacted Domestic Market Obligation (DMO), the utilization of local primary energy sources, and utilization of new and renewable energy. Primary energy supply security policies for power generation is done through two sides of the business side of the primary energy provider and on the side of the power generation business.\nPolicies on the business side of the primary energy provider, among others: business actors in the field of primary energy, especially coal and gas are given the widest opportunity to supply the needs of primary energy for power generation based on price with economic value. Other policies such as provision of incentives may also be implemented. Policies of local primary energy utilization for power generation can be made from fossil (lignite coal, gas, marginal) and non-fossil (hydro, geothermal, biomass, etc.). Utilization of local primary energy is to prioritize the utilization of renewable energy with due regard to technical aspects, economic, and environmental safety. While the policy on the business side of the power generation among others: energy diversification policy not to rely on one source of energy, especially fossil energy and energy conservation. To ensure the operation of generating the business actors in the generation needs to make stockfilling to reserves during the period, adjusted for delays in the supply constraints that may occur. In accordance with Presidential Decree No. 5 of 2006 on National Energy Policy (KEN) that the role of each type of energy to the national energy consumption for new energy and other renewable energies, to more than 5% by 2025.\nVillage Electricity Management Policy and Social Mission\nHandling social mission intended to help groups of less able people, and electrify all parts of Indonesia that includes undeveloped areas, remote areas, and rural electrification development. Handling social mission intended to keep the continuity of assistance for less able people, maintain the continuity of efforts to extend access to electricity service in areas not reached by electricity, encourage the development / economic growth, and improving people\u2019s welfare. Handling social mission needed to be implemented operationally through PKUK. In order to achieve the efficiency and transparency, then the electricity supply business should be done by separating social and commercial functions through a separate bookkeeping.\nDevelopment undertaken in the electricity sector to support sustainable development and environmentally sound. For that damage and degradation of ecosystems in the development of energy should be reduced by limiting the negative impact of local, regional and global levels associated with the production of electricity. This has been stated in Law No. 30 of 2009 on Electricity that any electricity business activities must comply with the provisions required under the legislation in the environmental field. In line with the above policy, Law No. 23 of 1997 on Environmental Management and Government Regulation No. 27 of 1999 on Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), as well as other laws, require that the proponent consider standard basic norms of how to harmonize their development activities with due regard to the environment and must meet quality standards issued by the competent authority. For that all electricity activities with a potentially large and important impacts are required to conduct EIA (ANDAL, RKL and RPL) while having no significant impact required to make the Environmental Management Efforts (UKL) and Environmental Monitoring (UPL) in accordance with the provisions of legislation .\nStandardization Policy, Security And Safety, And Supervision\nElectricity other than beneficial to people\u2019s lives can also lead to danger to humans if not properly managed. Government in order to establish standardization electricity safety, security equipment installation and utilization of electricity. Electricity safety objectives include protecting the public from hazards caused by electricity, improving reliability of electricity systems, improving efficiency in the operation and utilization of electricity. The policy of standardization include:\nStandard Equipment Power, which is a tool or a means of generating installations, distribution, and utilization of electricity.\nPower Utilization Standards, which all product or tool that uses its use of electricity for the functioning of the product or tool, among others:\nhousehold equipment (household appliances) and commercial / industrial;\nworking tools (handheld tools);\nlighting fixtures;\nelektromedik equipment.\nBased on the consideration of safety, security, health and environmental aspects, the IIndonesian National Standard (SNI) standard is divided into voluntary and utilization of equipment and must meet the mandatory standard. Installation of security policy include: feasibility of operation of electric power installations, safety equipment and utilization of electric power, and competence of technical personnel. Installation of electric power operation acceptance expressed with an operation-worthy certificate. For equipment and utilization of electricity that meets the Indonesian National Standards declared a Certificate of Product to be able to annotate SNI (SNI) on electric power equipment and the issuance of Certificates of Safety Signs (S) on the utilization of electric power and declared competent technician with a Certificate of Competency.\nPolicies for Electric Power Supply Crisis Power Woes\nIn an effort to cope with areas that are experiencing a crisis of power supply, carried out through two approaches, namely through Overcoming Program Short Term (1-2 years) and the Medium-Term Overcoming Program / Long (construction takes 3-5 years). Short-term overcoming programs carried out to settle the crisis quickly the electricity supply before the planned power plant is built, so the blackout that happened to be avoided as soon as possible. This program is done through the addition of generating capacity and distribution of power through transmission and distribution network. Addition of power generation is done through lease, purchase of excess capacity captive power plant and the procurement of new plants with rapid period of development. In addition, peak load reduction efforts by reducing electricity consumption during peak load. Overcoming programs medium / long term by building new power plants, either by PLN and IPP construction takes 3-5 years.\nREVIEW OF NATIONAL POWER CONDITION\nCurrent Electricity Infrastructure Condition\nTo meet the needs of national power, the supply of electricity in Indonesia is not merely done by PT PLN (Persero), but also made by other parties such as private, cooperatives, and regional-enterprises (BUMD). Electricity supply business that has been done by private, cooperative or BUMD are to build and operate their own power generating electrical power sold to PT PLN (Persero), better known by private generators or the Independent Power Producer (IPP) or build and operates its own generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in an integrated way that power electricity sold directly to consumers in a particular business area known as integrated plant or Private Power Utility (PPU). Until the end of 2008, total installed capacity of power generation nationally is composed of 30.527 MW, power plant owned by PT PLN (Persero) amounting to 25,451 MW (83%), amounting to 4.159 MW, IPP (14%) and PPU of 916 MW (3 %). Installed generating capacity is experiencing an addition of 5.480 MW since 2004, an increase of 22% over a period of 5 years.\nGRAFIC 3.1\nDevelopment of National Installed Capacity of Power Plants\nSource : Ministry of Mines and Energy\nWhile the distribution of installed generating capacity for the main islands are as shown in Table 3.1.\nInstalled Capacity of Power Plant\nJava \u2013 Madura \u2013 Bali\nElectrical systems that exist in the Indonesian archipelago has not been fully integrated into the electricity transmission network. Currently the electrical system that has been integrated well only in Java-Madura-Bali, where the electrical system of Java-Madura-Bali has 2 interconnection systems, namely Extra High Voltage transmission lines (SUTET) 500 kV as the main backbone tissues and the High Voltage transmission line (SUTT) 150 kV as a support network. On the island of Sumatra, Northern Sumatra electrical system (Sumbagut) that links the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) and North Sumatra have been interconnected to SUTET 275 KV, but the power transmission network is not fully connected to the electrical system of Sumatra. System that connects the system of West Sumatra and Riau (Sumatra-Riau) has been well integrated. In November 2004, the electricity system in South Sumatra province has integrated South Sumatra province, province of Jambi, Bengkulu and Lampung, became Southern Sumatra System (Sumbagsel), and subsequently in August 2006, Sumbagut-Sumbagsel electrical system has been integrated with SUTT 150 kV . On the island of Kalimantan, a small electrical system with the Central Kalimantan province of South Kalimantan are already connected via SUTT 150 KV. While on the island of Sulawesi, the electrical of Sulawesi system which includes the province, South Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi, North Sulawesi and Gorontalo still many scattered supplied with the system, but some areas have been connected with SUTT 150 KV. The electrical system Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and Papua have not had SUTET and SUTT because in general electrical system was still isolated and scattered, and class power generating capacity owned still relatively small. Until the end of 2008, the total length of power transmission network has been built by PT PLN (Persero) is a long 34.1184 kms consisting of 500 kV SUTET along 5092 kms, 275 kV SUTT along the 782 kms, SUTT 150 kV over 23,679 kms, SUTT 70 kV over 4619 kms, and SUTT 25-30 kV along 12 Kms. Total length of electric power transmission networks are experiencing an addition of 3390 kms since 2004 or an increase of 11% over a period of 5 years.\nWhile the results achieved in the construction of power transmission to the main islands are as shown in Table 3.2.\nLength of Electric Power Transmission\nSUTET (kms)\nSUTT (kms)\nTOTAL (kms)\nDevelopment of the Transmission and Distribution lines\nWhile the results achieved in the development of power distribution to the main islands are as shown in Table 3.3.\nThe Length of Electric Power Distribution\nMedium Voltage (kms)\nLow Voltage (kms)\nDrawing 3.1 Development of National Electricity Supply for 2008\n3. Electrification Ratio\nElectrification ratio is defined as the number of households that are electrified divided by the number of existing households. The development of a national electrification ratio from year to year has increased, from 61.04% in 2004 to 65.10% in 2008 (of total households in Indonesia amounted to 55,376,392 households as much as 36,078,726 households already enjoy access of electricity).\nWhile electrification ratio for the main islands are as shown in Table 3.4.\n4. Condition of Demand and Supply of Electricity\nDemand for power from year to year continues to increase with growth averaging about 7% per year. Meanwhile, development of infrastructure, especially electricity generation capacity additions during the last five years (2004-2008) only grew by an average of 4.4% per year. The imbalance between demand and supply of electricity has impacted the electricity supply shortages in some areas, especially outside of the electrical system Java-Madura-Bali can not be avoided. Growth conditions of low power supply is also a result of the economic crisis that hit Indonesia in the period 1998/1999, at which time the growth of installed capacity only grew by 1.13%. Indonesia\u2019s current economic growth requires the support of reliable supply of energy including electricity. Electricity demand will increase in line with economic development and population growth. Growing economy in the region resulted in electricity consumption will increase as well. This condition should be anticipated as early as possible so that the supply of electricity could be available in sufficient quantities and at reasonable prices. By considering the assumption of national economic growth on average grew by 6.1% per year and growing population nationally grew by 1.3% per year, the national electricity demand forecasts according to the National Electricity General Plan 2008-2027 is expected to reach an average of 9 , 2% per year. The high estimate of growth in average national electricity demand of 9.2% is also concerned with the number of potential customers waiting list of PT PLN (Persero) that the amount of capacity has reached more or less about 6,000 MW due to the implementation of restrictions on sales of electricity (suppressed demand) on previous years.\nElectricity Infrastructure Development Priorities Ahead\nDevelopment of electricity supply capacity is directed at a realistic growth and preferred to solve the electricity supply crisis that occurred in some areas, increase reserves and meeting the reserve margin (System for Java-Madura-Bali 30% and Systems of Outer Java-Madura, Bali, 40%) with prioritizes the utilization of local energy sources or new and renewable energy and power development plan of eliminating fuel oil. Development of fuel generator, exempt for overcoming short term local electricity supply crisis (one to two years to come) while awaiting the completion of construction of non-fuel that has been planned, by doing a lease generators that use MFO fuel. If the non-fuel plant that has been planned has been in operation, the oil fuel plant is in then non-operated. Considering the high growth of electricity, providing electricity access to the whole community and encourage the use of renewable energy, the development acceleration program of 10,000 MW phase II of the composition of its various primary energy range (not just coal) offered to be developed by PT PLN (Persero) and private with provide the facilities that have been implemented in the program accelerated the construction of 10,000 MW phase I. Development of small-scale coal power plant can be considered as an alternative to replace power plants that use fuel oil on a small scale system to reduce the cost of electricity system operation. In addition, the development of small-scale coal power plant can also be used to replace existing diesel partial role in the electrical system in Outer Java-Madura-Bali that its dominance is still quite high. As a developer of small-scale coal power plant is PT PLN (Persero), or private. Considering the difficulty of obtaining land to build large-scale power plants in Java and to consider increasing the peak load from year to year, the development of coal power plant with a capacity of 1,000 MW Supercritical boiler technology to gain efficiency and better emission levels, can be developed by PT PLN (Persero) and private.\n2 Power Grid\nThe basic principle of electric power transmission system development aimed at the growth of the system, increasing system reliability and reduce constraints on the distribution system and the construction of new plants. Given that the Government is currently carrying out development acceleration program of 10,000 MW of Phase I and implement future plans development acceleration program of 10,000 MW stage II, the development of electric power transmission system is prioritized ahead of construction to deliver electricity from new power plants. At present, large systems that are integrated with both the system of Java-Madura-Bali and Sumatra System. While the electrical systems on the other islands like Sulawesi are better systems in northern and southern regions. The electrical systems on other islands such as Kalimantan, Nusa Tenggara, Maluku and Papua have to get more attention in the development of its distribution system, especially in efforts to increase reliability. In the medium term, it is expected that the System of Sumatra has been fully integrated using the network of extra high voltage 275 kV, which is currently the system has been interconnected in a network of high voltage 150 kV. With the entry of several power generating large-scale, in the long-term within the system in Kalimantan and Sulawesi are expected also been connected properly. Development of delivery systems directed at the development of the system voltage 500 kV and 150 kV for the System for Java-Madura-Bali and 275 kV, 150 kV and 70 kV for the system outer Java-Madura-Bali. Efforts to develop distribution iinterconnected between Java-Madura-Bali System to Sumatra System can be done after the study in depth by taking into account several aspects, including technical, economical and social. While development plans 500 kV cross-link from Java to Bali Island is one option that can be done in anticipation of load growth in Bali. In developing the substation, the voltage of the selected system is directed at the suitability of transmission system development. Addition of transformer prioritized when loading the transformer installed in the substation had reached 70% of its capacity. While the construction of a new substation can be considered to be done if the supply in a region are not able to be met from the existing substation surrounding the transformer loading is indicated by the substation has exceeded 70% and capacity already has the optimum capacity.\n3. Electric Power Distribution\nDevelopment of electric power distribution facilities can be directed to anticipate the growth of electric power, to maintain the desired level of reliability and efficiency and improve service quality. When considering the fulfillment of an integrated electric power with other electrical systems in value is less / not efficient, then the isolated network can be applied. The isolated network is isolated electric power distribution network that stands alone and does not connect directly with Medium Transmission Line with limited service areas.\nIndonesia Electricity Condition as per October 2012",

        "raw_content": "A scale model study of parallel urban street canyons\nThe access to quiet areas in cities is of increasing importance. Recently, the equivalent sources method for a two dimensional situation of parallel urban street canyons has been developed. One canyon represents a busy road, whereas the other is one without traffic; the quiet side. With the model, the transfer function between the two canyons can be calculated, as well as the influence of diffusion, absorption, and atmospheric turbulence on the transfer function. A scale model study of two parallel canyons has now been executed. A scale of 1:40 has been chosen and the maximum length sequence technique has been applied using the MLSSA system. Results of the scale model study have been compared to calculations with the equivalent sources method. The difference between a two-dimensional and a three-dimensional quiet side, between a coherent and an incoherent line source and the influence of absorption and diffusion has been investigated. The scale model study also gives insight in the evolution of the sound field in the time domain.

Online social networking and its impact on New Zealand educators\u2019 professional learning (Thesis, Master of Education (MEd)). University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. Retrieved from https://hdl.handle.net/10289/8482\nThe trend towards collaborative social software and technology in education appears to be exponential. The notion of \u2018Web 2.0\u2019 seems almost traditional in the face of aggregation tools and multi-platform spaces, intertwined by a proliferation of social networking tools. With the roll-out of ultrafast broadband and the imminent development of the Network for Learning in New Zealand, it is timely to consider the extent to which online social networks present both challenge and opportunity for educators\u2019 professional learning. This study explores the experiences of educators using the VLN Groups network (www.vln.school.nz) to determine how far this user-generated mode of professional learning might extend professional practices in school. The study considers the ways and the extent to which the affordances of the VLN Groups social network site combine to affect educators' abilities to engage in effective professional learning.\nThis interpretive study positions the findings within activity theory in order to characterise the actions of educators in the social network and to draw out tensions and opportunities for development. A literature review offers an overview of the field of online social networking in the context of educators' professional learning and outlines the challenges for integrating such informal, user-driven learning into meaningful student-focused professional development. A survey of members of the VLN Groups social network was conducted followed by interviews with four participants of the network. Findings highlight how the typical usage patterns of participants within the social network site reflect a growing familiarity with online ways of working, as well as opportunities to exploit this mode of professional learning more effectively.\nThis study suggests that the VLN Groups can provide a thriving participatory system that enables educators to engage in an informal kind of professional learning focused on immediate concerns and contexts in their own teaching and leadership situations. It also raises questions related to what 'counts' as professional learning and how self-driven learning can be integrated into a cycle of active inquiry into practice. The study concludes by outlining recommendations for teachers, schools and policy makers related to connecting and coordinating professional learning in ways that maximise opportunities in the digital age.\nFalloon, Garry",

The magnetic and structural characterization was performed by M\u00f6ssbauer Spectroscopy (MS) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The three patterns show an intense peak corresponding to the \u03b1-Fe phase. Its intensity decreases as Gd is replaced by Nd showing the minimum intensity for x =0.257, and at the same time it shows a progressive increase in the peak\u2019s width. These effects are attributed to the rich presence of Gd and/or Nd atoms in the iron sites. M\u00f6ssbauer spectra were adjusted with hyperfine field distributions, sextets and singlets using the Mosfit program. The spectra show that by substituting the Gd with Nd atoms, the magnetic order is affected in such a way that iron sites appear and show magnetic disorder.\nMechanical Alloying, M\u00f6ssbauer Spectroscopy, Rare Earth Alloys and Transition Metals, X-Ray Diffraction, Structural and Magnetic Properties.\nArrabal, R.; Matykina, E.; Pardo, A.; Merino, M.C.; Paucar, K.; Mohedano, M.; Casaj\u00fas, P.

        "title": "\"Thinking differently about infants and toddlers: Exploring the reflect\" by Susanne Garvis and Donna Pendergast",
        "raw_content": "Susanne Garvis, University of GothenburgFollow\nDonna Pendergast, Griffith UniversityFollow\nThinking differently about infants and toddlers: Exploring the reflections of future Australian early childhood teachers in Australia\nIn Australian early childhood teacher education programs, there appears to be a greater focus on the age group of kindergarten children compared to that of infants and toddlers (Garvis, Lemon, Pendergast and Yim, 2013). As a consequence, pre-service teachers may have little opportunity to interact and learn about this important age range. This paper reports on the incorporation of videos of young child and educator interaction into early childhood teacher education programs at one Australian university. The cohort of pre-service teachers (18) were asked to think in a structured way about the videos with the help of a reflective template, which challenged them to apply higher order thinking with regard to the scenarios presented. As a culminating point of the template, the pre-service teachers were asked to create a reflective practice question to improve their professional practice. In this study, the reflective questions were analysed using content and pronoun analysis. Findings suggest that the pre-service teachers were focused on the continuity of learning of young children, personal skill development and social emotional development. To a lesser degree reflections explored working with families. The pronoun of \u2018we\u2019 also appeared as the most likely response on personal reflective questions. This suggests the future teachers had already positioned themselves within the group of early childhood teachers, indicating a strongly developed professional identity.\nGarvis, S., & Pendergast, D.

        "title": "How to Achieve Feng Shui In Your Home - Rocca Sisters",
        "raw_content": "Happy Chinese New Year from the Rocca Sisters Team! The Chinese New Year, or Spring Festival, has more than 4,000 years of history and is the longest holiday of the year. In the 21st century, the national holiday begins on the first of the Lunar Calendar and lasts until the 15th of the first month. In 2019, Chinese New Year begins on February 5th and ends February 19th. With the Chinese New Year ahead of us, we at the Rocca Sisters Team are looking towards the ancient Chinese system of governing spatial relationships within a home, known as feng shui. The practice of Feng Shui is purported to aid the flow of energy in positive directions that will improve your finances, mood and generally your entire life. An organized home is also much more aesthetically pleasing, which will help those looking to sell their homes in this, the Year of the Pig.\nJust as modern real estate has the concept of curb appeal, feng shui assigns a great deal of value to the front porch and front doorway of your home, as this is the way in which energy is invited into the home. Both concepts recommend the front porch to be clear and uncluttered to allow energy to flow easily, and to look as welcoming as possible. Likewise, the energy flow in spaces such as the living room works best when they are open, uncluttered and visually pleasing. Windows that bring a lot of light are naturally pleasing on a subconscious level to almost everyone, as they brighten up just about any space, but those who subscribe to the ancient practice of feng shui windows also contribute to the flow of positive energy, a must for any happy and prosperous home!\nIn bedrooms, symmetry is important both visually and in contributing to a positive home; a set of night stands positioned on each side of the bed creates a sense of symmetry and equality, believed to inject positivity into a couple\u2019s relationship.\nAs we can see from the examples above, modern real estate has taken a great deal of inspiration from this ancient tradition. Please click here for more examples of how to improve feng shui throughout every room, resulting in a home that is not only visually pleasing but will also help improve the balance of energy, leading to improved finances, moods, and general well-being. From all of us at the Rocca Sisters Team, we wish you and your families a happy and prosperous Year of the Pig!",

        "title": "NoW scandal: No justification for more regulation \u2013 bin here, done that",
        "raw_content": "NoW scandal: No justification for more regulation\n\u201cJunk journalism is the evidence of a society that has got at least one thing right, that there should be nobody with the power to dictate where responsible journalism begins.\u201d So once said Sir Tom Stoppard, doyen of free speech defenders.\nThere\u2019s a natural fear among journalists who haven\u2019t troubled Steve Coogan recently that the News International phone hacking scandal will result in the granting of just such power to state-selected folk, via an OFCOM-type regulator for the UK press or a slew of new laws.\nA panicked and exposed British political establishment is ready to strip journalists of what little expectation of exception they have left. The scandal surrounds plain criminal or civil offences under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers and the Data Protection Acts in the UK, the Bribery Act and abroad, deeply relevant to News International\u2019s North American fortunes, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.\nThese are acts that can\u2019t be excused as \u2018newsroom culture\u2019, the bleating of privileged celebs or by the police\u2019s inabilility or unwillingness to prosecute earlier offenders. There is no public interest defence. Without that the journalist\u2019s crimes have no more to do with his trade than it would be if he fiddled his tax or murdered his postman.\nWith the Guardian\u2019s Nick Davies as honoured exception, up until now the British media has been slow to reflect on its sins \u2013 surely the first obligation of an industry which expects the right to self-regulation \u2013 and short of examples of good practice to weigh against bad habits.\nThe Daily Telegraph\u2019s expose of MPs\u2019 expenses abuses proved a charge of handling stolen property, the confidential files they bought to get the story, could be trumped by a public interest defence.\nOther arguments in defence of the media\u2019s qualified right to occasional criminality are couched in improbable scenarios: \u201cWhat if one discovered that Britain was about to launch a nuclear war on China? Who would seriously think to himself: \u2018No, I broke the law on the interception of communications in this story, so forget it!\u2019\u201d\nIndex on Censorship defends the right of those accused of breaking the law in the act of free expression to claim a public interest defence. It defines our line on hate speech and the use of laws against incitement, whether we think those laws legitimate or not. And recently Index successfully argued for a public interest defence in the reform of UK laws that allowing redress for defamation in the civil courts.\nInquiries into the bad behaviour of the News of the World will teach us a lot about criminality among \u2018media workers\u2019 who hang out with detectives in bars. The danger is that it won\u2019t take us closer to a system based on understanding of what is, and what is not \u2018in the public interest\u2019.\nMost UK media concerned with stories in the public interest employ the kind of journalists who by and large, act ethically. The News of the World had its fair share of scoops. But it didn\u2019t get to be the planet\u2019s biggest selling English-language paper by writing in the public interest for 168 years. It did it with salacious gossip and by intruding on the privacy of celebrities.\nOnly when it turned to crime to get that gossip, compounding the offence by targeting ordinary victims of bad news as well as celebrities, was it pushed off the toilet seat and into it.\nIt\u2019s in the States where the big thinking is done around law breaking in pursuit of a story. Starting from the First Amendment, US law is tolerant of illegally obtained stories with legitimate public interest. ABC TV\u2019s repeat offence, illegally smuggling radioactive material past a fumbling Department of Homeland Security for one, or journalists using false identities to expose corporate illegality such as faking sell-by dates on meat or pressing needless medical care on vulnerable pensioners.\nEven the Washington Post\u2019s famous Watergate investigation technically broke the law by trying to secure details of evidence in a pending Grand Jury hearing.\nBut the First Amendment is not a licence for illegality. The Supreme Court has repeatedly said reporters who trespass, bug or break laws that apply to the rest of the public aren\u2019t immune from prosecution just because they were gathering news at the same time.\nUS media can pre-test the premise to see if the story warrants breaking a law to \u201cachieve the journalistic watchdog purpose\u201d. Clarity on terms like \u2018public interest\u2019 helps inform editorial meetings to discuss the appropriateness of illegal acts in pursuit of a story, but before both are commissioned.\nThese seem to have been the kind of editorial meetings News International executives missed, but where, quoting media ethics expert Bob Steele, news organisations can apply a six point test to decide if the journalist\u2019s \u201cethical duty to reveal important truths\u201d justifies breaking a law:\n\u201cWhen the information sought is of profound importance. It must be of vital public interest, such as revealing great \u2018system failure\u2019 at the top levels, or the information must be necessary to prevent profound harm to individuals.\n\u201cWhen all other alternatives for obtaining the same information have been vigorously examined and exhausted.\n\u201cWhen the journalists involved are willing to fully disclose their methods and the reasons for such actions, including any violations of law.\n\u201cWhen the journalists and their news organisation employ outstanding craftsmanship as well as the commitment of the time and funding needed to pursue the story fully and fairly.\n\u201cWhen the journalists involved have conducted a meaningful, collaborative, and deliberative decision-making process on the ethical and legal issues and weighed the potential positive and negative consequences to all stakeholders.\n\u201cWhen the journalists and their news organisation are willing to accept and justify the consequences that can occur if they are charged with violating the law. They must consider consequences to themselves and to their profession, including public opinion and precedents from legal proceedings.\u201d\nBalancing the competing interests of the public\u2019s right to know versus the government\u2019s claim of national security, or increasingly, the right to privacy, commercial confidentiality or right to a family life is not easy.\nAs the UK Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO) pithly notes: \u201cFrom time to time weighing competing interests may be difficult. However, this does not mean that the nature of the task facing a public authority when applying the public interest test is unclear.\u201d\nSo is there a need for a new public authority in the UK to weigh those competing interests and define \u2018the public interest\u2019?\nThe PCC, rebranded as a mediation and arbitration service, as Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger has suggested, could offer a first port of call for future victims, but from there, back to Sir Tom again, do we need a fully empowered regulator to \u201cdictate where responsible journalism\u201d begins?\nNo. \u201cThe courts have often distinguished between things which are in the public interest from things which merely interest the public,\u201d says the ICO.\nCorrect. They should be allowed to continue to do so. Handily, a court can quickly round up twelve members of the public to to hear both sides. Then leave them to decide what \u2018the public interest\u2019 is.

        "title": "Injectables \u2014 ROSING PLASTIC SURGERY",
        "raw_content": "Over the past decade, injectables for aesthetic enhancement have created a significant footprint in the cosmetic medical industry. The term injectables refers to a myriad of products used by physicians or mid-level healthcare providers to inject into the areas of the face or body to counteract the impact of aging.\nI recently began using Kybella, 'liposuction in a syringe', to treat isolated areas of relative fat excess on the body. The injection is FDA approved for injection into the submental (below the chin) subcutaneous tissue to lyse fat cells.\nHow Kybella works: It's an FDA-approved injection containing a naturally occurring molecule that dissolves fat, which your body then flushes out. The best candidate is someone with good skin and a very distinct appearance of fat under the chin, the knees, bra-line, axillary 'puff', upper back, and medial thighs. What are the side effects? Kybella acts to lyse fat cells, causing inflammation that will result in tenderness and swelling in the area injected. It is possible to feel firmness and even numbness at the injection site, though this is temporary.\nThe cost: Kybella requires a series of two to three treatments (each four to six weeks apart), which costs $2,200.00 (two treatments) or $3,300.00 (three treatments) respectively. Each treatment consists of two vials of Kybella.\nKybella injection series will provide a permanent reduction in fat, resulting in a long term, reduction in fat volume where it is injected. Call now and make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. James Rosing.\nBotox\u00ae is now considered a critical part of any anti-aging regimen. Botox is truly a breakthrough treatment that not only reverses wrinkling but can actually prevent some aspects of wrinkling.\nBotox is an injectable treatment that relaxes and minimizes fine lines. Done properly, it does not cause a \u2018frozen\u2019 look. We aim for a natural appearance.\nBotox is most commonly performed for lines between the eyes, outside the eyes, and on the forehead, but we also use it in much smaller quantities on other areas of the face for more subtle anti-aging effects using advanced techniques. Everyone has different needs and quantities of units to achieve the result they desire. This requires individualized consultation. It is priced at $11/unit at Rosing Plastic Surgery, with $50 off to new patients. The price of the amount of Botox that is right for you is available with a consultation. A typical cost for just the outer eyes is $11 x 25 units = $275. Botox treatments typically last approximately 3-4 months.\nBotox injections are performed by Dr. James Rosing.\nIf you are scheduled for an injection, taking Motrin, ibuprofen, aspirin, naproxen or other NSAIDS may increase your chance of bruising. If verified by your doctor, refrain from taking these medications for one week prior to any injectable procedure.\nDr. James Rosing is recognized by Allergan, the makers of Botox, Juvederm and Voluma as a Diamond Provider which is the highest achievable recognition given to healthcare providers.\n0.5ml of Juvederm Volbella injected to define and slightly enhance the lip volume. By Dr. James Rosing. Results may vary.\nJuvederm\u00ae, Restylane\u00ae and Belotero are hyaluronic-acid based dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a normal part of human skin and therefore has an extremely low risk of allergy. At Rosing Plastic Surgery, we only use hyaluronic-acid based dermal fillers as the safety of our patients is our number one priority.\nDermal fillers \u2018plump\u2019 the skin by restoring volume that has been lost due to the aging process. Injection of dermal fillers was originally developed for the nasolabial folds, or \u201cparenthesis\u201d around the mouth. However, they can be used in a variety of other locations: for shaping the cheek bones, filling chin depressions, nose contouring, \u201csunken-in\u201d temples, and deep lines between the eyes (in combination with Botox). In fact, these facial locations often obtain the most natural and long-lasting results with dermal fillers.\nThey are injected by Dr. James Rosing. Dermal fillers cost $600 per 1mL vial, and $400 per 0.55ml of Volbella (used to treat lines around the mouth and for lip definition. Most patients require 1 or 2mL for the nasolabial folds or lips or chin. Treatment of cheeks or temples may require 3 or 4mL. Most treatments last between 9 months \u2013 1 year or longer.",

        "raw_content": "Posted: July 29, 2017 in Farros, Politics, Royal\nTags: farros, House of Cards, Jane Davis, Mark Usher, Prime Directive, royal, Royal Farros, Star Trek\nI just finished Season 5 of House of Cards.\nI wasn\u2019t as taken with 5 as the previous 4.\nI like \u201cbig reveals,\u201d but I think subterfuge can be abused and that\u2019s not fair to the audience.\nWith that said, I do think there are two new characters that are particularly intriguing, however: Jane Davis and Mark Usher.\nNow, I don\u2019t like the way they were introduced \u2014 here are two major, major political power brokers that the Underwoods had never heard of\u2026 that seems unrealistic to me.\nHowever, each are intriguing\u2026 and their relationship is intriguing\u2026 because, unlike the blatant world of D.C. politics, they seem not to be seeking the spotlight. Instead, they are operating \u201cin the shadows\u201d\u2026 true puppet-masters.\nYou know what I think? I think they\u2019re ALIENS. They are too mysterious. Too subtle. Too all-knowing. They really, truly seem to care not for material wealth, but rather for completely altruistic, humanitarian goals. Almost as if they know better\u2026 as if they are from the future\u2026 or from an alien race\u2026 or both!\nAnother ground-breaking series, Star Trek, had to deal with these kinds of story arcs, too. They invented the \u201cPrime Directive,\u201d essentially:\n\u201cA guiding principle of the United Federation of Planets prohibiting the protagonists from interfering with the internal development of alien civilizations. \u2026 This conceptual law applies particularly to civilizations which are below a certain threshold of technological, scientific and cultural development; preventing starship crews from using their superior technology to impose their own values or ideals on them.\u201d (Source: Wikipedia)\nSure, Captain Kirk may not have ever stepped over the line with the Prime Directive, but you can damn well be sure, in the name of entertainment, he stepped right up to the line several times. Just like Jane and Mark have been doing.\nNow, I know you may say that Star Trek had to come up with the Prime Directive because, after all, the entire show was all about aliens, i.e., space ships and space outfits, five year mission, seeking out new life and new civilizations, boldly going where no [man] has gone before, etc., etc.\nBut \u2014 using Kellyanne Conway logic \u2014 I think that misses the point, because there now what appears to be ALIENS on House of Cards!\nSo you\u2019ve heard the proof here first. I now can\u2019t wait for Season 6\u2026 and to hear Jane and Mark say: \u201cTwo to beam up, get us out of here now!\u201d\nI\u2019m Surprised But I\u2019m A Little Bummed That I\u2019m No Longer Friends With The RGITW",

        "title": "Coat of Arms",
        "raw_content": "Coat of Arms - Bishop Gerald Vincke\nBishop Jerry Vincke\u2019s coat of arms reflects his motto \u201cRich in Mercy,\u201d while honoring the history of his new diocese. James-Charles Noonan Jr. of Gwynedd Valley, Pa., one of the few Vatican-trained heraldic artists, designed the arms and offered an explanation of its imagery.\nMany aspects of the coat of arms point directly to the Eucharist. The left side of the arms represents the diocese, while the right is the new bishop\u2019s design. The six-pointed blue star comes from the original Diocese of Concordia\u2019s shield and symbolizes the Marian title of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the diocese\u2019s patroness. The heart represents the new diocese, after the see was moved from Concordia to Salina in 1945, and its new cathedral, which was dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.\nThe right area of Bishop Vincke\u2019s arms includes a chalice and paten, encircled by a wreath with grapes, grape vines and wheat ears, all representative of the Eucharist. The blue ribbon on the wreath is a nod to the traditional color for Mary, as is the blue area above the wreath. Inside the blue area of the arms is a Fleur de Lys.\nThe Fleur de Lys is the symbol for Mary as the \u2018Immaculate Conception\u2019 which is her title in the United States. In addition to the symbols within the coat of arms, the items surrounding it are also filled with meaning. Atop the coat is a pilgrim\u2019s hat, which is the symbol for all priests and bishops. For the rank of bishop, the pilgrim\u2019s hat is always a deep forest green. The hat is properly known as the galero and the tassels take the name fiocchi. For the coat of arms of a bishop, there are six tassels on each side of the arms. The cords that bind them are known as cordiere. These cords and the tassels are worked in the same hue of green, but the interior of the hat is always rendered in red. This has been so for eleven centuries, red representing the clergy\u2019s possible martyrdom for the vocation that they have adopted in life.\nBehind Bishop Vincke\u2019s coat of arms is the episcopal cross, which is rich in symbolism. With the olive leaves on the cross, which reference both St. Francis and St. John Vianney. The red garnet stone is a nod to St. Ignatius of Loyola.\nMercy is the major theme of St. Luke\u2019s Gospel and is mentioned throughout the New Testament, including:\u2008Ephesians 2: 4-5 \u201cBut because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved....\u201d ; Hebrews 4:16 16 \u201cLet us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need\u201d ; and Titus 3:5 \u201cHe saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit\u2026\u201d\nMercy is also referenced in the Old Testament more than 20 times. It was also a common theme from the visions of Saint Faustina Kowalska (1931), who orchestrated the Image of Divine Mercy.\nNoonan\u2019s original design, framed in the bishop\u2019s office in the Chancery, was hand-painted by Linda Nicholson of Ontario, Canada, a craft painter of the Society of Heraldic Arts in England.",

        "raw_content": "I went to a wedding yesterday. Weddings are all about empty spaces and new beginnings. The couple is starting a new life together. They have a new apartment. They have new furniture. They have new towels and new dishes and even new pots and pans. When they first enter the apartment it will be completely void, the rooms will be bare and the closets totally empty.\nIn the beginning of anything new there is empty space. There are empty closets or unallocated time or a lack of systems to tell us how to do something. We create what fills that space and we grow in the process. But then our space is full and we stop growing. We have our systems and we continue to implement them not even questioning if there is a better way. When our space is full there is no room for growth or improvement.\nSomehow in our lives and in our careers we need to find a way to create space. Our ability to innovate, our ability to grow and our entire future is based on how we manage and create space. There are three things you can do immediately to create the space you need to grow and improve.\nWhat can you eliminate?\nLook at what you are spending your time on and ask yourself, \u201cWhat can I stop doing?\u201d Everything you stop doing creates time and space. It is far easier to say \u201cyes\u201d then it is to say \u201cno\u201d and we end up in time being over committed. It feels great when you start saying \u201cno\u201d and eliminate time consuming activities.\nEvaluate All Systems and Policies\nList all the systems you employ. Most organizations have a sales system, a billing system, customer service procedures, hiring procedures, manufacturing steps and more. Each month take one system or procedure and analyze it from scratch to see if there is a better way based on new ideas, people or technology. Ask yourself, \u201cIf we were to design this today how would we do it?\u201d You might be amazed to find out how streamlined, customer focused or more efficient you can be.\nMaybe you\u2019re doing some things that are important but could be accomplished by someone else. By delegating to others you are training them to take on additional responsibility and at the same time positioning yourself to take on other growth oriented activities. Always delegate authority with the responsibility so you are not micromanaging and make sure that the resources necessary to do a great job are there.\nAs you create more space, spend time determining what you can do to deliver more value for your organization and allow you to grow as an individual at the same time.",

        "raw_content": "Communication (Photo credit: P Shanks)\nThis week ends the Easter season in the life of the church. While many of us have long since put away our Easter baskets and chocolate bunnies, the church celebrates for 50 days. In this time, the church celebrates the new life offered in Jesus Christ who has conquered death. The season ends as we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. We celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came upon the disciples as well as the people who happened to be present in the town that day.\nThe Spirit allowed Peter to speak to everyone in a way that they could understand. The Spirit allowed the people to understand what Peter was saying. Even though this was a multicultural gathering of people who spoke different languages, the Spirit allowed comprehension. One of the first gifts of the Holy Spirit was effective communication. More often than not, we need divine intervention for effective communication. This is a gift that is available to all, but we often try to rely on our own abilities.\nConsider the typical behavior when we encounter someone who speaks another language. We speak more slowly and more loudly. Somehow we think that this will bring comprehension to the listener. We do the same thing, at times, with those who disagree with us. We decide that they would agree with us if they understood our point. So we repeat our point. We continue to repeat our point, convinced that the listener was just not paying attention. Instead of these pointless repetitions, we need divine intervention. We need the Spirit to come and flow through both the speaker and the listener. We need new ears for hearing as well as a new voice for speaking.\nMay the wind of the Holy Spirit come into all of your communications and create more effective communication.\nBible Christian Living\tchurchCommunicationEasterHolySpiritJesuJesus Christliturgical cyclePentecostPeterSaint Peterunderstanding\tLeave a comment\nJesus Christ Crucifix (Photo credit: Wikipedia)\nHave you ever noticed how much we can talk about something without actually doing anything about it? I remember one incident in particular. I was in the Emergency Room. I was having my first and only gall bladder attack. The health care professionals were waiting to decide if I would be having surgery that day. I was miserable. I was in that state where you are wishing for everyone to go away and stop talking. My husband was with me, and he was quiet. However, I was separated from the next patient by a thin curtain. I never saw her and the woman with her. I just heard their conversation.\nShe was talking and talking and talking about various lifestyle changes she should make. The woman with her was agreeing with the assessments. As I listened to this other patient talk about a need to drink more water, eat more fiber, etc. I wondered how likely she would be to make the life style changes. She is probably like most of us. We talk far more than we do. We say that we want to make life style changes, but we don\u2019t actually make them. We stay that we will keep in touch, but we do not put forth the effort to remain in contact. We say that we want to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, but we do not do anything about it.\nDuring this week before Easter, we remember what God did and does for us in the person of Jesus. We recall his passion and death which was an act of grace for us. As we think about this, let us do more than just think and talk. Let\u2019s do something in response to God\u2019s love and action.\nChristian Living Uncategorized\tChristianityEasterGallbladderGodGod's loveJesusJesus ChristReligion and Spirituality\tLeave a comment\nHero or Savior\nCristo Redentor, statue on Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro (Photo credit: Wikipedia)\nBonnie Tyler sang \u201cHolding Out for a Hero\u201d. She first released the song in 1984, but I remember it most from the soundtrack of the movie \u201cFootloose\u201d. Some days I feel that is my song, or at least my desire. I want someone to come and take care of all the things in my life that seem to be overwhelming me. Maybe you know this feeling. She is looking for Superman. She is looking for the cowboy-in-white-hat who will rescue her. I imagine that most of us, if not all of us, have a dream that there is one who will come and rescue us. We want a hero who will clean up our mess, shoulder some of our burden, help us out, and generally relieve some of our stress.\nWe want to be saved from our to-do lists, our work, our chores, our responsibilities, and our lives. I think we are looking for a savior more than a hero. We want someone to save us from ourselves. We want someone to save us from the tidal wave of responsibilities and work that threaten to overcome us.\nWe already have a Savior, but we sometimes forget that our Savior is not the bust-down-the-door type of Savior. Our Savior is often waiting and wanting to be included in our lives. Our Savior helps us realize that while there are many things we need to do, this is all temporary. Our lives are bigger than the daily demands we and others put upon ourselves. We are a part of the kingdom of God. The things of this world are all temporary. We have a Savior who has conquered even death itself, so we don\u2019t need to allow the things of this life to overwhelm us. We have Jesus Christ, a Savior. Allow your desires for a hero to be shared with Jesus. Allow the Savior to share your burdens. In this sharing, we find comfort, peace, and a new perspective. Hold out for more than a hero. Hold out for a Savior.\nChristian Faith\tBonnie TylerChristChristianityFootlooseGodJesuJesus ChristSuperman\tLeave a comment\nAs we leave childhood, somehow we start to believe that we must no longer play. Grown ups don\u2019t play. We put away our dolls, cars, and items for make-believe. We stop with playing house, and we start our real lives. We are no longer playing. We are grown-up. We don\u2019t swing on swings. We don\u2019t giggle. We are adults.\nMaybe that is something that needs to change. Instead of being so grown up, maybe we need more play in our lives. Instead of being so very grown up all of the time, maybe we need to allow more play time. This is not to suggest that we revert to the toys of childhood, but it may be. Those simple activities of childhood are often activities that allow us to engage in a new way. We can color a picture to engage our mind in a new way, to use that other side that allows our creativity to flow.\nWe can find the old ways as well as the new ways of playing to engage us in new ways, to discover more joy in our lives, and to transform us. Jesus played. Jesus played with children, words, and enjoyed life. We are called to follow Jesus. Go and play today.\nChristian Living\tAdultChildhoodChristChristianityGodJesusJesus ChristReligion and Spirituality\tLeave a comment",

        "title": "Wine Wednesdays With William: Brushing Up On Prosecco - Saratoga Living",
        "raw_content": "Wine Wednesdays With William: Brushing Up On Prosecco\n'saratoga living' wine expert William Roach on the famed, bubbly Italian export.\nAugust 15, 2018 by William Roach\n(Ed Schipul/Flickr)\nFor this week\u2019s column, let\u2019s focus on Prosecco. As you may know, it\u2019s a popular sparkling wine from northeastern Italy. There\u2019s also a village called Prosecco. The village is 100 miles from the classic Prosecco vineyards, on the other side of the Adriatic and close to Trieste. Ten years ago, Prosecco was also the name of the grape variety in the wine, but that\u2019s no longer the case.\nExactly when the winemakers of northern Italy realized that anyone in the world could make a sparkling wine and call it \u201cprosecco\u201d is debatable, but in the late 1990s, Australian and Brazilian versions emerged. Determined to impose a monopoly over the wine, the Italians gave the grape variety a new name, Glera, and in 2009 secured a European Union-protected denomination of origin (DOC) for an expanded area that included Prosecco the village. Thus, Prosecco DOC is by far the largest DOC in Italy, comprising 34,580 acres, and only northern Italians may ride the Prosecco gravy train.\nAll sparkling wine involves trapping carbon dioxide in the finished wine, but the techniques for achieving this vary considerably. Champagne and other ambitious sparkling wines are made fizzy in the bottle it will be served from. Prosecco is made sparkling in a large pressure tank and subsequently bottled under pressure. Whereas it will take four years to make a bottle of Pol Roger NV champagne, prosecco can be on the shelf within months of the harvest. The tank method is cheaper, faster and less labor-intensive than traditional sparkling winemaking, and the finished wine is cheaper, too.\nGlera is an unexceptional grape variety, so the newly regulated DOC permits the addition of up to 15 percent of varieties like Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. Most Prosecco are extra dry, which means they are a little sweet, or dry, which are sweeter still.\nThe extreme expansion of the area of production has not been without consequence. Enola Ceola is CEO of market leader MionettoUSA: \u201cThere is, sadly, a lot of poor prosecco in the market,\u201d he said. \u201cThey suffer from too high a yield and overproduction. That\u2019s why many of them have a bitter aftertaste.\u201d But they make a decent bellini.\nBuy three bottles: a bottle of the cheapest prosecco you can find, a bottle of prosecco that costs $12 or more and a bottle of orange juice. Open the wine before Sunday brunch and taste side by side. Add the orange juice to the one you like less.",

        "raw_content": "Social Work Students' Perception of Intimate Partner Violence Victims Who Stay With Their Abuser\nAndrea PerezFollow\nLanesskog, Deirdre\nIntimate partner violence is a widely recognized problem in today\u2019s society and in the social work field. It is also often considered one of the most complicated issues to adequately address and prevent. There are many challenges in understanding how IPV can occur and worsen over time, as well as why some victims choose to stay with their abusers. Intervening in relationships and families that are experiencing IPV is not an easy task, especially if the social worker who is dealing with the issue is not knowledgeable or has pre-conceived biases about domestic violence. In this study, the terms Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) and Domestic Violence (DV) were used interchangeably as both terms describe some type of abusive behavior by one individual towards another in a relationship. This quantitative study assessed the perceptions of social work students in the CSUSB MSW program towards victims of IPV who stay with their abusers. Participants completed an online survey that was created by the researcher using Qualtrics software. The study hypothesized that students\u2019 perceptions about IPV victims varied depending on their personal and professional experience with IPV. This hypothesis was not supported by the data. Furthermore, the study hypothesized that students\u2019 perceptions of IPV victims varied by the students\u2019 education levels. This hypothesis was not supported by the data. The study is limited by a small sample of participants from one particular MSW program; these findings cannot be generalized to all social work students or to social workers in general. These findings and their implications for social work practice and curriculum are discussed.\nPerez, Andrea, \"Social Work Students' Perception of Intimate Partner Violence Victims Who Stay With Their Abuser\" (2018).

        "raw_content": "Mollusk Life Cycle\nThe Four Stages of the Life Cycle of an Animal\nHow Do Fish Grow?\nShubunkin goldfish, U.S. NOAA\nThere are three main types of growth processes observed in fish offspring. Though all fish fit into one of these categories, it should be noted that there can be significant differences between species in the same group, in terms of parental care, length of developmental periods, and nesting or \"brooding\" habits.\nIn oviparous fish, eggs grow and develop outside the mother's body. Eggs are generally fertilized outside of the mother's body as well, with the exception of oviparous sharks and rays. Eggs hatch relatively quickly; in goldfish, it takes only 48 to 72 hours.\nAfter hatching, the young enter a larval state. They are largely unformed, sometimes resembling tadpoles, and get their nutrition from a yolk sac that they carry. When this is used up, they begin eating zooplankton, microscopic organisms that live in the water. The larval stage only lasts a few weeks at the most, and the the hatchlings go through a metamorphosis that causes them to look much more like the adult fish of their species. There is speculation that the growth period is short in order to minimize cannibalism by adult fish. About 97 percent of fish are oviparous.\nIn ovoviviparous fish, the eggs develop inside the mother's body. Each embryo develops its own egg and yolk, from which it receives nutrients. When born, the offspring are past the larval stage, in a juvenile state and capable of feeding on their own. Guppies and angel sharks are both ovoviviparous.\nViviparous fish are unique in that the mother directly provides nourishment to her young. Eggs are internally fertilized, and offspring are fed through uterine \"milk\" or through an organ similar to a placenta. There are some stranger modes of nourishment, both observed in shark species: oophagy, where the mother produces eggs solely to feed the embryos, and intrauterine cannibalism, where bigger embryos consume their smaller siblings. As in ovoviviparous fish, the young are in a juvenile state when born, as opposed to larval.\nContributor. \"How Do Fish Grow?\" Sciencing, https://sciencing.com/fish-grow-4572245.html. 24 April 2017.\nContributor.

        "title": "New AIDS czar a good fit - Scope",
        "raw_content": "Amid the furor over swine flu, a very important bit of health policy news seems to have been buried. President Obama just appointed a new AIDS czar, who will have as much $48 billion at his disposal. Eric Goosby, MD, medical director at the Pangaea Global AIDS Foundation in San Francisco, will take over the job, an appointment that was widely expected and welcomed in the AIDS community. He will be in charge of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR.\nAbout Goosby\n\"I think he is superbly positioned for the job,\" said Eran Bendavid, MD, a fellow in infectious disease and health policy at Stanford. \"He has a very strong background in global health, policy, and HIV. He is a charming and charismatic character, and will be a very strong ambassador for the U.S.\"\nGoosby has been in the trenches; he treated HIV/AIDS patients in the early days of the epidemic at San Francisco General Hospital (I was a staff writer there at the time and remember him working in Ward 86, the country's first AIDS clinic). He later became director of the Office of HIV/AIDS Policy in the Department of Health and Human Services and was an advisor to the president on HIV/AIDS issues. He has helped shape widely used treatment and prevention guidelines in this country and is well-respected by his peers.\nPEPFAR Explained\nThe program he'll direct was one of few initiatives under the Bush administration that's been widely praised. The program was initially authorized in 2003 at $15 billion over five years; last year, Congress pledged to increase it to $48 million, with the spending devoted to a three-pronged attack on AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.\nI saw the benefits of the program first hand while in Africa. Many of the HIV-positive patients I met had been able to get antiretroviral therapy courtesy of PEPFAR. Some 2 million people, most of them in Africa, are on life-saving drugs that are paid for by the program. \"PEPFAR funding has had a really significant impact,\" Ruth Nduati, MD, a renowned specialist in pediatric AIDS and professor at the University of Nairobi, told me during a visit to Kenya during the early days of the program. \"Those resources have enabled us to begin to implement health services that will make a difference for women and children in this country.\"\nUntil recently, the person in charge of PEPFAR was Mark Dybul, MD, a gay physician who once practiced in San Francisco. According to news reports, he was asked to stay on by the Obama transition team, but once Hilary Clinton was installed as Secretary of State, he was unceremoniously dumped. Since then, Goosby's name had been widely circulated as the likely pick for the job.",

        "raw_content": "Book Reviews, Fiction, Paranormal Romance, Simon & Schuster, YA Fiction\nThe Chemical Garden Trilogy: Wither by Lauren DeStefano is a Winner!\nTitle: The Chemical Garden Trilogy: Wither\nI am a fortunate recipient of an advance reader\u2019s copy of debut novelist Lauren DeStefano\u2019s The Chemical Garden Trilogy: Wither, published by Simon & Schuster. Wither is the first piece of this dystopian puzzle and although it is recommended for ages 14+, I was charmed by it and could not put it down. Wither is a refreshing, unique and dazzling story (despite comparisons made to The Handmaid\u2019s Tale), filled with compelling characters that leap off the page. While it does raise a few questions, I chose not to analyze the life out of it and just enjoyed it for the pleasurable fantasy read that it is. I can already completely envision the movie version and don\u2019t think I\u2019m remiss in saying that fans of the Twilight series will undoubtedly enjoy this too.\nIn the not-too-distant future, Earth has almost been entirely obliterated by a viral plague created through genetic engineering that has wiped out every continent except for North America. In this nightmare, males only live to be 25-years-old and females only live to age 20, raising the questions, \u201cWhat if you knew when you were going to die?\u201d How would you choose to live your life?\nSixteen-year-old Rhine Ellery is a beautiful, intelligent orphan with hemochromatic eyes (one brown, one blue) who has been kidnapped by \u201cGatherers\u201d and sold at auction as a bride to a rich governor. She is torn away from the only life she knows in an almost unrecognizable Manhattan where her twin brother Rowan works in a factory to support them while it\u2019s her job to keep their ramshackle home safe from looters.\nRhine isn\u2019t a special victim, but rather the norm, as there are few things left for young women in this new world to do but be sold into slavery to propagate the species. Only the beautiful are chosen as brides while the others become prostitutes or are murdered.\nRhine finds herself living in a picturesque but sinister Florida mansion \u2013 decorated with holograms and steeped in illusion \u2013 and wedded to a na\u00efve, young Governor Linden Ashby. Linden, a would-be architect, is mourning the impending death of his true love and first wife, Rose, while being completely controlled by his creepy, geneticist father, Housemaster Vaughn (a first generation who didn\u2019t succumb to the plague), who lets everyone think he\u2019s working on an antidote for the fatal disease.\nRhine has two sister wives: (polygamy is also not unusual in this new world) 13-year-old Cecilia, a bratty redhead who was born in an orphanage and never knew her parents \u2013 so has little problem adjusting to life as a rich man\u2019s child bride \u2013 and 18-year-old Jenna, a sad, introverted brunette whose sisters are murdered in the same van she was taken away in when she was captured.\nRhine befriends Rose, who soon dies, and whose body is mysteriously transported to the basement, never to be given a proper funeral. Cecilia takes her place as Linden\u2019s new lover, and before long becomes pregnant with his child. Jenna\u2019s relationship with her husband is only sexual as she refuses to give him her heart, while Rhine rejects the consummation of her marriage and instead befriends a kind and empathetic servant named Gabriel whom she comes to trust. (It was a little hard to believe that she would have been able to continuously deny her husband who clearly had his way with the others.)\nOn the outside, Rhine\u2019s world is one of glamour, parties, growing friendships with her sister wives and an orange grove utopia, while the reality is one of ugly secrets, danger and the dance of the Grim Reaper.\nThis first person narrative is thoughtfully conveyed in Rhine\u2019s voice, with moral dilemmas always close to the surface, and her relationships with the other characters are as well developed and realistic as they can be in a science fiction setting. We know Rhine is biding her time by pretending to want to be Linden\u2019s first wife until she can figure out a way to escape. We also know that there\u2019s something inherently evil going on in the basement of the mansion and that although Vaughn is supposedly carrying out DNA experiments to find a cure, nothing is what it appears to be. We also know by the end of this page turner that we\u2019re not going to get to know what happens to Rhine and Gabriel until the next edition of the trilogy. By then, you will be completely sucked into the story and will have to read the next book! And believe me, I will.\nBravo Lauren DeStefano! You\u2019re going to have a very successful writing career.\ndystopian fiction dystopian novel fantasy novel genetic engineering Lauren DeStefano sci-fi/romance science fiction Simon & Schuster The Garden Chemical Trilogy The Garden Chemical Trilogy: Wither The Handmaid's Tale Twilight series viral plague Wither\nA Q&A With Blues Chanteuse, Layla Zoe\nThe Legendary Judy Collins To Play Kingston\u2019s Sydenham Street United Church!\nVictoria \u00b7 March 14, 2012\nwhen is the third book coming out\nscullylovepromo \u00b7 March 15, 2012\nI\u2019m afraid I don\u2019t know, Victoria. I just bought the second one and plan to read it soon.\nCarrie Slager \u00b7 May 18, 2012\nBefore I read this book, I definitely heard comparisons to The Handmaid\u2019s Tale. But, like you, I didn\u2019t want to analyze the heck out of it, so I just enjoyed it. I love how it\u2019s so unique, with a new premise, which is something rare in YA. I can\u2019t wait to read Fever!\nThanks for stopping by. I am reading Fever right now and will be reviewing it soon. I know it\u2019s part of a trilogy so like most trilogies, the middle book is not always the most exciting one but it serves an important purpose. I like Wither better than Fever, but I am really enjoying it too and can\u2019t wait for the third book to see how the trilogy ends! Lauren DeStefano is a terrific writer and I\u2019ll be a fan of her work for life!\nIt will be interesting to see both how the trilogy ends as well as what DeStefano writes next. The Chemical Garden Trilogy will hopefully be a hard act to follow.\nI can\u2019t wait to find out how it all ends. I think that The Chemical Garden Trilogy might very well be a hard act to follow for DeStefano, but I think she\u2019s just starting to show the world what she can do! I hope they make a movie(s) out of this trilogy too!\nI\u2019m reluctant for them to make a movie, since they always seem to ruin it. But they could have a success here on their hands if they get a director who stays true to the story.\nThat\u2019s true and I think it\u2019s important to have only one director for all movies based on a trilogy and not different ones. The Twilight movies suffer because of having different directors, I think. Not to mention the inconsistencies with Bella\u2019s wigs!! Made me cringe!\nExactly! If they\u2019re going to make the trilogy, they better have just ONE director who sticks with the storyline. I can\u2019t really comment on the inconsistencies of the Twilight movies since I\u2019m definitely not a fan, but I know what you mean.\nI actually am a fan of the Twilight books and I really enjoyed the first movie but as a series, they\u2019re just too inconsistent in look, atmosphere, style, etc. because a different director was used every time. That drives me nuts!",

        "raw_content": "Counselling and Psychological Services \u203a Information and self help resources \u203a Work, Rest and Play\nAt University, many students believe they only have time for study. However, a lot of evidence suggests that academic performance will be improved (and also your mental, physical and social health) if you take a holistic approach, and pay attention to how you juggle the vital ingredients of work, rest and play.\nEngage all parts of the brain: Studying (especially the production of essays) is a creative process. Any creative process has an ebb and fl ow, which you will need to harness rather than force. Leaving your work zone and going into another one (eg rest or play) allows a completely new idea to emerge, your unconscious, rather than conscious mind, has been given a \u201cgo\u201d. Albert Einstein said \u201cI never came upon any of my discoveries through the process of rational thinking.\u201d\nBalance: Study is a solitary, cerebrally active task. We can make our study experience more sustainable and healthy by balancing it with activities that are polar opposites. For example, engaging with other people in activities that are physically active, or, at other times, passive.\nMindfulness and Meditation: A break from unrelenting mental activity can be achieved through a variety of mindfulness and meditation techniques. For some more information you may wish to visit the audio downloads section of our website.\nPhysical activity: Exercise can also be a break from constant mental activity. Many studies have shown that exercise improves cognitive abilities such as problem solving, learning, concentration and memory.\nClear boundaries: Set up clear boundaries around your tasks to more effectively utilize your time for work, rest and play. In this way you can prevent worrying about study day and night, and then not studying effectively during allocated study time. Allocated study time is used for studying and allocated play time is used for times when you really do need to escape.\nWatch out for perfectionism: University is full of very talented students, often with a strong work ethic and more than their fair share of perfectionism. If you fi nd that there is never enough time to get something right and the only hours that count are the ones spent studying, remember that such intense engagement may make you unable to see a task with fresh eyes.\nNot always focussing on an outcome: A feature of the academic lifestyle is that it can be very competitive, everything is done in the service of the goal and the future. It can be very liberating to fi nd an experience which doesn\u2019t fi t this mould, which you don\u2019t need to be good at but which promotes a focus on joy and experience in the moment. Full engagement in the moment is like a form of active meditation, and provides an escape from the unrelenting mental activity which often plagues students (\u201cI just can\u2019t stop thinking\u201d).\nBeing in harmony with yourself: Become aware of your energy cycles throughout the day. Use optimal times for the activities of work and study, rest and play, eating and sleeping. Being aware of these cycles allows us to live our lives in greater rhythm and be more productive and healthy.",

        "title": "About LumiSidus Watch Winders",
        "raw_content": "About LumiSidus Watch Winders\nThe LumiSidus wouldn't be out of place in a gallery or museum. There the constant and interlocking movement of the watches would be interpreted as a three-dimensional metaphor for the eternal mystery of time. In actual fact, the sight of a rotating and revolving sculpture at an art exhibition was the \"big bang\" for M&E. Its founders took the fascination evoked by this work of art back to the development workshop. They combined it with sophisticated technology and exquisite details to create a luxurious product in every sense.\nAlexander Merklinger is a passionate unorthodox thinker and inventor. His passion for tricky mechanical tasks pursues him even in his spare time. It's no wonder that he is also a keen enthusiast and collector of high quality mechanical watches. These mostly have automatic movements which wind up the watch normally as a result of motion by the wearer. Of course, this won't work if a watch is lying motionless in a cabinet, which is unavoidable if you happen to have several watches in your collection.\nMotion instead of setting\nIf the watch stops, winding up and setting by hand can be quite time consuming, especially if the timepiece has additional complications such as the display of date, day of the week, moon phase and so on. Merklinger had already planned to purchase a watch winder to keep in motion those timepieces that he wasn't currently wearing. After he had visited the above mentioned exhibition, he decided to build such a device himself.\nAnd so began the development of a new type of watch winder that not only keeps the little mechanical works of art in gentle motion but also forms part of an aesthetically appealing all embracing objet d'art.\nThe motion principle of simplicity\nThe basic mechanical concept of the LumiSidus is characterised by its simplicity: The cylinders in which the watches are attached roll over each other and in this way keep each other in motion. Only the central cylinder has to be driven. The technical implementation of the idea also follows the principle of simplicity and clear lines. \"The term \"non-positive connection\"is often used in technology\", explains Alexander Merklinger, \"this means that the rollers are in no way linked to one another, they simply touch each other at their outer surfaces. The motion is transmitted only as a result of the cylinders rolling off each other.\" For the entire device to function, these cylinders as well as the two outer retaining rings must be made with extreme precision. To assemble the watch winder, nine cylinders made of metal and perspex are simply placed in the frame around the driven central cylinder; stable connection of all elements in the system is not established until the eleventh cylinder is mounted.\nNo noise to disturb the meditative calm\nIts counter rotating motion emanates a meditative calm as the cylinders appear to float without the aid of gearwheels, belts or other means. Ten cylinders rotate not only about their own axis, but \u2013 like planets around their central star \u2013 also about the central cylinder. Of course, no drive noise is allowed to disturb this majestic performance. The extreme quietness of the \"Swiss Made\" motor clearly distinguishes it from all other motors available on the market.\nThe silent operation was an important factor but not the only requirement that M&E placed on the motor. It also had to be invisible, that is to say small enough to disappear in the largely transparent structure. However, it also has to deliver a high torque in order to keep the eleven cylinders in constant motion while moving at a very low speed. And, of course, it had to achieve all this reliably over a long period of time without maintenance.\nSwiss Made high-end motor\nAfter detailed research and discussions, the most suitable gear motor was selected. Thanks to its extreme reduction ratio, it can even operate at one tenth of a revolution per minute (0.1 rpm) \u2013 the actual speed of the LumiSidus watch winder is between 1 and 2 rpm. In keeping with the most Swiss watches circling in a LumiSidus winder, the little powerhouse is made at FAULHABER Minimotor in Croglio (Switzerland).\nThe motor is the central element of an all embracing work of art and is made only from the highest quality components. For example, the stainless steel frame can also be supplied with a gold plating. The pedestal is made of either black granite or precious crystals (smoky quartz or agate). In their natural form, the latter do not reach the size needed to supply a plate of adequate size. For this reason, individual pieces of crystal are joined together in an elaborate process to form a seamless plate that looks as if it has grown naturally and is a work of art in itself.\niOS App controls light and motion\nAn integrated lighting system using LEDs that are set in a groove in the stone give these crystal pedestals a mysterious lustre. Using the LumiSidus app, the owner can have the device light up in every imaginable colour. Incidentally, the watch winder derives its name from the idea of planetary motion and light: LumiSidus is a combination of the Latin words for light (lux, lumen) and orbiting celestial body (sidus).\nAutomatic change of rotation\nWhoever entrusts their watches to a LumiSidus winder will be sure to enjoy the splendid brilliance and majestic circling motion of their prized possessions. The interval between changes in rotation direction can also be set using the app. \"In some watches, the rotor which is responsible for automatic winding only runs in one direction\", explains Alexander Merklinger. \"This is why the direction of rotation must change at regular intervals so that every watch is wound up reliably.\"\nThe LumiSidus watch winders made their d\u00e9but at the Munich Time trade show last autumn after full capacity production began in the summer. All components and materials are sourced from Germany and Switzerland, emphasises Merklinger. Although still new on this exclusive market, the newcomer from Mannheim has already found a number of prospective customers and partners. Just a few years after their \"big bang\", the heavenly bodies of LumiSidus are already circling in a steady orbit.",

        "raw_content": "2017 OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model Champion \u2013 Glenn Watson\nAfter starting off the year in victory lane, Glenn Watson was consistent all the way through the 2017 OSCAAR Outlaw Super Late Model season en route to being crowned the series champion.\nIt marked a double title year for Watson, as he was also crowned Sunset Speedway\u2019s Fast Eddie Racecar Super Late Model Champion, as well.\n\u201cI think it\u2019s pretty special to be able to pull it off,\u201d Watson said. \u201cIt took a lot of dedication from our whole team to put together a good car and run all the races; it was a long season.\u201d\nKicking off the season at Flamboro in May, he quickly took the top spot off drop of the green flag in the first of two 25-lap features, leading flag-to-flag en route to victory, despite being challenged by Shane Maginnis in the closing stages. With an invert in place for the second main, Watson made his way up to fourth by race\u2019s end.\nThe beginning of June took Watson back to familiar territory, in the form of a trip to Kawartha Speedway. After winning the opening heat, he would charge from a fourth-place starting spot to take the lead on Lap 4, beginning to check out immediately on the field. From there on, he would cruise to his second straight victory.\nReturning back to Flamboro, he showed his familiar speed once again, but ran into some troubles during the first event which saw him unable to complete all the laps. He quickly redeemed himself, though, scoring the victory in the second 25-lap feature.\nThe month of July saw the super late models make their lone trip to the beach for the year. Glenn Watson led the charge to Sauble Speedway, and didn\u2019t look back the whole way as he scored the feature victory in dominating style. He then returned to Kawartha a couple weeks later, taking the top spot on a Lap 19 restart and cruising away from the field for his fifth feature win.\nWith such domination, Watson was one of the clear favorites heading into the Don Biederman Memorial at Flamboro Speedway. However, he met his match, having to settle for second behind Andrew Gresel in the first 25-lap feature. The second main event saw the veteran come up short again, scoring the runner-up behind Charlie Gallant following a lengthy-battle with Tyler Hawn. As a result, he would be credited with second overall for the event.\nThe beginning of August welcomed the super late\u2019s first trip to Peterborough Speedway of the season for the Chase for the Colours. The event didn\u2019t go as planned, with Watson placing seventh and fifth in the pair of 35-lap features.\nReturning back to the speedway in October, it was clear that Watson wasn\u2019t going to allow a repeat of that performance. Starting fifth, he quickly made his way up to the third spot, looking for second on nephew Brandon Watson. Glenn went to make a move underneath Brandon on Lap 3, but contact resulted, causing Glenn to spin and be the first caution.

        "raw_content": "Court Rules Red Hill Tanks Violate State Law\nContact: Marti Townsend, Director\nEmail: marti.townsend@sierraclub.org\nHONOLULU, HAWAI\u02bbI (February 21, 2018) \u2014 Today first circuit court Judge Jeffrey Crabtree ruled in favor of the Sierra Club, finding that the state\u2019s exemption of the Navy\u2019s Red Hill fuel tanks violate state law. This means the U.S. Navy\u2019s Red Hill fuel tanks must be brought into compliance with state law. The Red Hill fuel tanks leaked 27,000 gallons of jet fuel in 2014 and have leaked at least 30 times since their construction in 1943.\n\u201cThis is a big deal. The Navy can no longer skirt our laws. Its time to fix up the Red Hill fuel tanks or shut them down,\u201d said Marti Townsend, director of the Sierra Club of Hawai\u02bbi. \u201cThe future of O\u02bbahu\u2019s drinking water is looking much clearer.\u201d\nSierra Club\u2019s lawsuit is based on a 1992 state law directing the Health Department to enact rules that require the upgrading of existing underground storage tanks by 1999 to prevent releases of petroleum into the environment. The Sierra Club\u2019s motion highlights that:\nThe legislature mandated that DOH enact rules requiring that existing underground storage tanks be replaced or upgraded not later than December 22, 1998, to prevent releases for their operating life. \u2026 All the pre-existing tanks, especially the leaking ones, were required to be upgraded or replaced.\nInstead of complying with this mandate, however, the Department of Health exempted the Red Hill tanks from regulation. The Health Department itself admitted that \u201cthe storage of up to 187 million gallons of fuel, 100 feet above a drinking water resource, is inherently dangerous.\u201d\nRead the Sierra Club\u2019s motion for summary judgment here.\nCategories 2018Tags Department of Health, e ola i ka wai, Red Hill, Water is Life, water security\tPost navigation\nRed Hill fuel ruling must quicken fixes",

Porto > Memory U.Porto > University of Porto Famous Alumni: Gra\u00e7a Morais\nOrganization and How U.Porto Works\nU.Porto Memory\nDistinctions and Workmanship\nGra\u00e7a Morais - Blog\nUniversity of Porto Famous Alumni\nMaria da Gra\u00e7a Pinto de Almeida Morais, daughter of Jaime Morais and Alda Pinto, was born on 17th March 1948, in Vieiro, Freixiel, Vila Flor - a town in the region of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes.\nIn 1955, she entered primary school in her hometown. She started painting objects of her daily life.\nFrom 1957 to 1958 she lived in Mozambique, where her father bought her the first box of watercolours. The following year, when she returned to the Northeast region of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes, she entered the Vila Flor preparatory school. In 1961, she entered secondary school in Bragan\u00e7a. In the 9th grade (1963), she painted the scenarios of the play Auto da Alma, by Gil Vicente. This was an important stage in her life. From then on, she was called painter. The following year, she mentioned that she wanted to study Fine Arts. She started working for the school newspaper \u201cMensageiro de Bragan\u00e7a\u201d, and painted her first oil paintings\nAfter she finished secondary school, in 1966 she enrolled in the Painting course at the Porto Higher Institute of Fine Arts. \u00c2ngelo de Sousa, Jos\u00e9 Rodrigues and Tito Reboredo were some of her first teachers; however, she was not particularly attracted to the school ambiance. Committed to her training, she dedicated most of her time to reading and painting.\nIn her favourite discipline, which she took in the period from 1967 to 1970, she was influenced by the painters Marc Chagall and Van Gogh. In 1970 she went on her first and striking trip abroad. She visited London, Paris and Amsterdam, where she met great masters, such as Francis Bacon\nShe finished her first degree in 1971. She married the painter Jaime Silva and started teaching at the Soares dos Reis School of Decorative Arts, in Porto. In 1972 she left Porto to live in Guimar\u00e3es, where she has been teaching Visual Education and participating in several exhibitions.\nIn 1974 she often painted at the caf\u00e9, as at home she did not have the necessary conditions. On 19th April, her daughter, Joana, as born. This was a period of great political excitement. The 25th April had arrived, and brought along the democracy - the opportunity so many artists and intellectuals had been waiting for so long to finally be able to show the results of their creativity. In 1975, together with eight artists and one art critic (Albuquerque Mendes, Armando Azevedo, Carlos Carreiro, Dario Alves, Fernando Pinto Coelho, Gerardo Burmester, Jaime Silva, Jo\u00e3o Dixo and Pedro Rocha), Gra\u00e7a Morais founded the Puzzle Group. This group was officially launched over a dinner/installation \"Expectativa de nascimento de um Puzzle fisiol\u00f3gico-est\u00e9tico com pretens\u00f5es a Grupo\" (expectations to give birth to a physiological-aesthetical puzzle, with the aim to make it a group), at the Alvarez II Gallery, in 1976.\nIn the late 1970s (from 1976 to 1978), she lived in Paris with a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. She met Arroyo and Rancillac, and studied in particular the works of Picasso, Matisse and C\u00e9zanne. In 1978 she exhibited her work at the Portuguese Cultural Centre, in Paris.\nIn 1979 she returned to Portugal. She settled in Lisbon, where it was difficult to find a place to work. She brought two series of drawings of women, to which she added a third one.\nIn the early 1980s, she exhibited her work in Porto and in Lisbon. The shapes and the materials used to depict the Northeast of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes, i.e. her hometown, are subject to a thorough reflection. She left Lisbon in 1981, and went to live and work in Vieiro, where she remained for two years. She continued exhibiting her work. In 1982 she paid several visits to fairs - especially to Westkunst, in Cologne, and to Documenta in Kassem, Wien. She has drawn a series of dogs.\nIn 1983 she went back to her hometown, where she stayed until June. She started her professional relationship with the commissioner Manuel de Brito. In the years that followed, she exhibited in: Lisbon, Bragan\u00e7a and Porto; S\u00e3o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (in Brazil) - where she attended, very impressed, the Carnival parade, in 1985; and in Madrid and Washington. She has drawn illustrations for several books, as well as the Amnesty International 25th anniversary poster (1986)\nShe travelled to Cape Verde, upon the invitation of the Portuguese Ambassador. Very attracted to the archipelago, she travelled there several times between 1988 and 1989, and founded the first local independent publisher (the Ilh\u00e9u Editora). In 1989 she presented the results of her visit at the Portuguese Cultural Centre, in Cidade da Praia and Mindelo\nIn the early 1990s, she exhibited in Macau, continued illustrating books and participated in art exhibitions in several Iberian-American embassies, in Washington. She visited Japan (1992) with the Cultural National Centre. The painted travel journal was published in 1993, with texts written by Jorge Borges and Alberto Vaz da Silva.\nGra\u00e7a Morais is the author of several renowned and award-winning works of art. Such works, which have been shown both in individual and group exhibitions, in Portugal and abroad, have been the subject of several documentaries and monographs. They have also been paid homage by several anthological shows (Guimar\u00e3es, in 1993; Lisbon and Porto, in 1997; and Aveiro, in 2003). She also produces other works, such as: tapestry, manufactured by the Manufactura de Tape\u00e7arias de Portalegre, which can be found at the Assembly of the Republic, the City Council, the Technical University, Montepio Geral and the M\u00e1rio Soares Foundation, in Lisbon - as well as in private collections; tiles, which can be found at the headquarters of the Caixa Geral de Dep\u00f3sitos (in Lisbon), at the Fogueteiro railway station (in Seixal), at the local market (in Bragan\u00e7a), at the local library (in Carrazeda de Ansi\u00e3es), at the Caixa de Cr\u00e9dito Agr\u00edcola and the local theatre (in Bragan\u00e7a), at the Belarus underground station (in Moscow), at the Astrophysics centre and the Porto Planetarium, at the Rinchoa viaduct (in Rio de Mouro) and at the Vilar de Frades hydro electrical plant (in Vieira do Minho); cenographies for the play The Screens, by Jean Genet, at the Experimental Theatre - a play staged by Carlos Avillez; cenography and costumes of Shakespeare's \u201cRichard III\u201d, also staged by Carlos Avillez, at the D. Maria II National Theatre; and ilustrations for several writers and poets, including Manuel Ant\u00f3nio Pina, Jos\u00e9 Saramago, Ant\u00f3nio Al\u00e7ada Baptista, Pedro Tamen, Nuno J\u00fadice, Clara Pinto Correia, Jos\u00e9 Fernandes Fafe, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen and Ant\u00f3nio Os\u00f3rio.\nShe lives and works in Lisbon and in the small town of Vieiro with her partner, the guitar player Pedro Caldeira Cabral. She admits that it is very difficult for her to separate from her works, so she is probably the largest collector of her own paintings.\n(Universidade Digital / Gest\u00e3o de Informa\u00e7\u00e3o, 2008)\nCopyright 1996-2019 \u00a9 Universidade do Porto Terms and Conditions Acessibility Index A-Z Guest Book\nLast updated: 2016-01-06 Webpage created on: 2019-02-15 19:51:49",

        "raw_content": "Saxony-Anhalt Rises to\nTop of Location Studies\nNational and international surveys show corporate executives\nlike the improving business climate of this German state.\nBarbara Wittmann, managing director of Dell Halle GmbH in Halle in Saxony-Anhalt\nKatherine Brucker, consul general for the American Consulate General in Leipzig\nmerican and international companies increasingly say they prefer a Saxony-Anhalt business location in east central <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Germany when setting up shop in Europe, according to three influential studies released recently.\nA top executive with computer firm Dell knew that all along.\nBarbara Wittmann, managing director of Dell Halle GmbH in Halle in Saxony-Anhalt, tells Site Selection that her site, which celebrated its fifth anniversary on Sept. 1, consistently ranks as the company's top-performing business location not just in Europe, but in the entire world.\n\"This has been quite a successful site for Dell, not only in sales and revenue margins but also in customer satisfaction scores,\" says Wittmann. \"Our technical team scores very highly compared to other sites. We are ranked best of breed in Europe and even in the world in several areas.\"\nWith 750 employees engaged in sales, customer service and technical support, the Halle facility for Dell has grown rapidly in five years. \"We had 168 employees when we opened,\" notes Wittmann. \"Now, we would rank in the top five companies in revenue in Saxony-Anhalt.\"\nWittmann says Dell benefits from a highly educated, often university-trained work force that is highly flexible, mobile and willing to learn new tasks. \"We hire people with a very high IQ and then we train them. Dell primarily looks at second-tier cities. We want to move into a location where we will be relatively big and have a strong influence in the community,\" she says. \"We also seek to make a strong impact on the region. If Dell had gone to Berlin, Dell would have been one company out of many. But by locating in Halle, we are ideally located in the heart of Germany and we still have access to 1.2 million people within an 80-kilometer [50-mile] radius.\"\nSite selection decision-makers from many nations would appear to agree.\nAccording to the Institute for Employment Research in Germany, Saxony-Anhalt ranks second only to Berlin as Germany's top business location. The survey of 15,500 companies throughout Germany revealed that Saxony-Anhalt scored No. 1 in the quality of work force available; No. 1 in regional wage level; No. 1 in local tax burden; and No. 1 in the price of industrial or commercial land.\nAn Ernst & Young study published earlier this summer showed that Germany ranked as the fifth best country worldwide as a global investment location. The survey of 814 international decision-makers placed Germany behind only China, India, the U.S. and Russia. Germany received high marks for its infrastructure, qualified work force, research and development landscape, and its handling of the global economic crisis.\nThe Seventh AmCham Business Barometer showed that, among American companies, Germany remains the most attractive business location in Europe.\nKatherine Brucker, consul general for the American Consulate General in Leipzig, tells Site Selection that one of Saxony-Anhalt's biggest location advantages is its \"incredible distribution network. State capital Magdeburg is right at the intersection of the main north-south and east-west highways through Europe. It goes north-south from Berlin to Milan and it goes east-west from Hamburg to Moscow. And the Elbe River is accessible from this point as well. With the large airport and huge DHL hub at Leipzig-Halle, this is a terrific location for getting goods to other markets.\"\nThis editorial profile was published under the auspices of the Investment and Marketing Corporation of Saxony-Anhalt.

        "raw_content": "7.6C: Labeling Theory\nTheoretical Origins\nLabeling Deviants\nHard Labeling and Soft Labeling\nLabeling theory holds that deviance is not inherent to an act, but instead the result of the externally-imposed label of \u201cdeviant\u201d.\nDescribe the labeling theory approach to deviance\nGeorge Herbert Mead posited that the self is socially constructed and reconstructed through the interactions which each person has with the community. Thus, if the community labels an individual as \u201cdeviant\u201d, the individual will integrate this label into his sense of self.\nA social role is a set of expectations we have about a behavior. They are necessary for the organization and functioning of any society or group.\nDeviant roles are very special roles that society provides for deviant behavior.\nMental illness and homosexuality are two examples of labels given to individual displaying deviant behavior.\nPeople who believe in hard labeling believe that mental illness does not exist. According to them, these illnesses are entirely socially constructed when we attach the label \u201cmentally ill\u201d to a behavior.\nSoft labeling supporters believe that mental illnesses are not socially constructed.\nPeople who believe in hard labeling believe that mental illness does not exist \u2013 they are entirely socially constructed.\nLabeling theory: Labeling theory is closely related to social-construction and symbolic-interaction analysis.\nDeviant roles: Labeling theory concerns itself mostly not with the normal roles that define our lives, but with those very special roles that society provides for deviant behavior.\nsocial role: Labeling theory concerns itself mostly not with the normal roles that define our lives, but with those very special roles that society provides for deviant behavior, called deviant roles, stigmatic roles, or social stigma.\nLabeling theory is closely related to social-construction and symbolic-interaction analysis. It holds that deviance is not an inherent tendency of an individual, but instead focuses on the tendency of majorities to negatively label minorities or those seen as deviant from standard cultural norms. The theory is concerned with how the self-identity and the behavior of individuals may be determined or influenced by the terms used to describe or classify them. The theory was prominent during the 1960s and 1970s, and some modified versions of the theory are still popular today.\nSociology \u2013 Labelling theory: Short presentation on labeling theory.\nLabeling theory had its origins in Suicide, a book by French sociologist \u00c9mile Durkheim. He argued that crime is not so much a violation of a penal code as it is an act that outrages society. He was the first to suggest that deviant labeling satisfies that function and satisfies society\u2019s need to control the behavior. George Herbert Mead posited that the self is socially constructed and reconstructed through the interactions which each person has with the community. The labeling theory suggests that people are given labels based on how others view their tendencies or behaviors. Each individual is aware of how they are judged by others because he or she has adopted many different roles and functions in social interactions and has been able to gauge the reactions of those present.\nLabeling theory concerns itself not with the normal roles that define our lives, but with those very special roles that society provides for deviant behavior, called deviant roles, stigmatic roles, or social stigma. A social role is a set of expectations we have about a behavior. Social roles are necessary for the organization and functioning of any society or group. We expect the postman, for example, to adhere to certain fixed rules about how he does his job.\nLabeling theory hypothesizes that the labels applied to individuals influence their behavior, particularly that the application of negative or stigmatizing labels promotes deviant behavior. They become a self-fulfilling prophecy: an individual who is labeled has little choice but to conform to the essential meaning of that judgment. Consequently, labeling theory postulates that it is possible to prevent social deviance via a limited social shaming reaction in \u201clabelers\u201d and replace moral indignation with tolerance.\nSocial roles:. A social role is a set of expectations we have about a behavior. Social roles are necessary for the organization and functioning of any society or group.\nThe social construction of deviant behavior plays an important role in the labeling process that occurs in society. This process involves not only the labeling of criminally deviant behavior, which is behavior that does not fit socially constructed norms, but also labeling that reflects stereotyped or stigmatized behavior of the \u201cmentally ill.\u201d Furthermore, the application of labeling theory to homosexuality has been extremely controversial. It was Alfred Kinsey and his colleagues who pointed out the big discrepancy between the behavior and the role attached to it.\nThere are two distinctions in labeling: hard labeling and soft labeling. People who believe in hard labeling believe that mental illness does not exist. It is merely deviance from the norms of society that people attribute to mental illness. Thus, mental illnesses are socially constructed illnesses and psychotic disorders do not exist. People who believe in soft labeling believe that mental illnesses do, in fact, exist. Unlike the supporters of hard labeling, soft labeling supporters believe that mental illnesses are not socially constructed but are objective problems.\nDifferential association.

        "raw_content": "Now an internationally successful DJ, Eric Sneo started learning to play musical instruments from a young age, after his grandfather introduced him to an accordion at only the age of 4, he went on to experiment with drums after buying a drum kit in his teenage years and started to attend local jazz shows, where he really learned how to improvise. In 1991 he saw Sven Vath playing in Frankfurt, and it was here when he fell in love with what he was listening to, and wanted to know more. With his unique performances on the E-drums during his DJ sets, Eric swiftly developed into a distinctive and highly sought after international performer with his unforgettable sets. After he presented his unique \u201cArt of Life\u201d show at the Nature One Festival (2009) for the first time, he gained rave reviews throughout an exclusive festival tour of the show in the summer 2010 and 2011. Eric can combine his trademark groovy technoid DJ style with his live performance of a range of acoustic and electronic instruments, including E-Drums, E-accordion, percussion & didgeridoo. In 2011 he launched his new Mudra Audio label, where he released his critically acclaimed album \u201cPolarity\u201d in March 2012. Supported by international artists like Laurent Garnier, Len Faki, Dubfire, Luciano, Gabriel Ananda and Cari Lekebusch, the album was highly successful, so much so much so, that Umek signed the album track \u201cShut Up & Dance\u201d as a single for his 1605 label, which was released in August 2012. With his successful \u201cMove On\u201d EP in 2013, he became a member of Christian Smith\u2019s respected, forward-thinking Tronic family, a move that led to him to his 5th album of his career \u201cIntensity\u2019 which was released on Tronic in 2014. Much acclaimed support lead to a steady stream of hits on Tronic, with his \u201cMove On\u201d and \u201cMetanoia\u201d tracks remixed by Pig&Dan, Paco Osuna and Mendo. Eric has announced he will be released his next album, which will be his second on Tronic in February 2017 with \u2018Sound Traveler\u2019. Featuring 14 original tracks which show Eric\u2019s eagerness for experimentation.

There are 2 possible objectives:\nTo break the siege from the city of Manbij\nIf point 1 is succeed, the goal is to isolate the SDF in Shuwayhat Khaznawi area\nAs far as I heard the counterattack near Hudhud has already been defeated though heavy fighting is still going on.\nAs fas as the western front is concerned, the SDF is already way beyond the west of Arima, tapping into the kurdish countryside there.\nOn the west the other extremists are nearing Dabiq, so I am very interested to hear and see how it will all work out.\nThis demonstrates that ISIS sees this as a serious threat to their well being, as they should. They have also counter-attacked the road that is supporting the SAA advance on Tabaqa. ISIS is on the road to ruin.\nWere it not for that huge Al Nusra / Army of Islam contingent supported by Turkey in North/west Syria, ISIS would be well on its way to becoming extinct.",

Just before Phil Mickelson wrapped up his victory at the weather-delayed AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, the USGA released its schedule for 18-hole local qualifying, which will be held at 110 different sites across 43 states and Canada.\nAny professional or amateur with a handicap of 1.4 or better is eligible to enter a local qualifier, with the best players from each site advancing to 36-hole sectional qualifiers later this summer. The top players from each of 12 sectional sites will earn spots in the U.S. Open.

        "raw_content": "After a six month offseason, football is finally back tonight in the form of the NFL preseason! At the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, the Baltimore Ravens will take on the Chicago Bears at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. While preseason isn\u2019t always the most exciting, here\u2019s a few players to watch for on each team (assuming they play). Most are rookies or new arrivals.\nPhoto Credit: drfreenews.com\nLamar Jackson, QB:\nLamar Jackson is one of the only reasons this game will be watchable. While the Ravens have had Joe Flacco as their starting QB since 2008, they selected former Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson with the last pick of the first round. In my opinion, Jackson is the closest player I\u2019ve seen to Michael Vick in the past ten years despite question marks surrounding his ability to play the quarterback position in the NFL. John Harbaugh has already said that Jackson will have his own package of plays in 2018, but it will be interesting to see how he plays in his first action against an NFL defense.\nRobert Griffin III, QB:\nRGIII hasn\u2019t seen NFL action since starting five games for the Browns in 2016. Although he won Rookie of the Year in 2013 with the Washington Redskins, his career has been derailed by injury. With what is likely his final chance at redemption, RGIII will attempt to make the Ravens roster as the third string QB.\nMichael Crabtree, WR:\nAfter catching 25 touchdowns in his last three seasons in Oakland, Michael Crabtree signed with the Raiders this offseason. The Ravens haven\u2019t had a true #1 WR in quite some time, so Crabtree hopes to fill that role.\nHayden Hurst/Mark Andrews, TE:\nThe Ravens drafted Hurst and Andrews to be their two tight ends in rounds one and three of the 2018 NFL Draft. Hurst, who is 25 years old, was regarded by several scouts as the best all-around tight end in the draft. Andrews spent his college days as Baker Mayfield\u2019s safety net, and will be a big receiving target for Joe Flacco. It will certainly be interesting to see who performs better, and also how often both tight ends are on the field together.\nPhoto Credit: windycitygridiron.com\nMitchell Trubisky, QB:\nWith Matt Nagy taking over at head coach for the Chicago Bears, I expect big things from Mitchell Trubisky in year two. Nagy, the former Chiefs offensive coordinator, will look to implement a high-powered offense like he did in Kansas City with good offensive talents surrounding Trubisky in Jordan Howard, Allen Robinson, and Trey Burton. It wouldn\u2019t surprised me if Trubisky performs like Jared Goff did in year two, and that journey starts tonight.\nAllen Robinson, WR:\nAllen Robinson is coming off of a torn ACL that he sustained just a few minutes into the 2017 NFL season. Considering Robinson was a top WR in the league prior to his injury with the Jaguars, he\u2019ll look to prove himself again in a different city in 2018. I don\u2019t expect Robinson to play much, if at all tonight, but if he does play a few snaps it will be good to see him back on the field.\nAnthony Miller, WR:\nI\u2019m extremely high on Anthony Miller who was selected in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Not many people know Miller considering he went to Memphis, but he can flat out ball. Miller has looked extremely solid in training camp, and I expect him to be a reliable target for Mitchell Trubisky in the future.\nTrey Burton, TE:\nTrey Burton was playing behind Zach Ertz in Philadelphia for the past few years, but it has always been clear that he\u2019s capable of being a starting tight end. Now, he\u2019ll get his chance with the Bears. When he filled in for Ertz last year, Burton caught two touchdowns. I expect Burton to establish himself as a top-ten tight end in the NFL this season.\nRoquan Smith*, LB:\nIf anyone was wondering what the Bears\u2019 first round pick was up to, he still hasn\u2019t signed his rookie contract yet. He remains the only rookie who hasn\u2019t signed a contract, and will not be playing in tonight\u2019s game, as he still isn\u2019t in training camp.\nRelated TopicsBearsFeaturedNFLNFL Hall of Fame GameNFL PreseasonRavens",

        "raw_content": "You are at:Home\u00bbArticles\u00bbBackcountry Rescue Dogs\nPhotos courtesy of Tracy D. Christensen/Wasatch Backcountry Rescue.\nBackcountry Rescue Dogs\nBy\tAlexa Morgan on\t December 7, 2016 Articles, Trailsides\nHow These Pups Sniff Out Victims, Save Lives\nBeing trapped or buried in the backcountry is a skier\u2019s worst nightmare\u2014injured, lost, and alone, willing to give anything to see a friendly face.\nPerhaps that face will belong to Ninja, a 5-year-old pointer/lab mix employed as an avalanche search and rescue dog at Deer Valley Resort in Park City. Sue Anderson, who works as the resort\u2019s avalanche mitigation supervisor, brought Ninja home when he was only 49 days old. He spent his first summer riding the chairlifts and socializing with hundreds of visitors.\nDeer Valley has two or three avalanche dogs patrolling on any given day during the ski season, and Ninja accompanies Anderson to work each day and rides the lift to his assigned sector. His outgoing personality makes him popular with skiers, especially kids. \u201cHe loves to work, but he also loves people,\u201d says Anderson. \u201cBut the second I walk into the shack, he\u2019s ready if I need him.\u201d\nThough the slopes at Deer Valley are usually quiet, Anderson and Ninja also respond to emergencies in the remote mountain wilderness as members of Wasatch Backcountry Rescue.\nFounded in 1976, WBR is a nonprofit, volunteer partnership between professional ski patrollers from nine area resorts: Solitude, Brighton, Alta, Powder Mountain, Snowbasin, Snowbird, Park City, Deer Valley, and Sundance, plus the Utah Department of Transportation. Other affiliates include AirMed, Life Flight, the Utah Department of Public Safety, the Utah Avalanche Center, and law enforcement across five counties: Salt Lake, Summit, Wasatch, Weber, and Utah.\nWBR is much more than dogs, president Tracy D. Christensen says, but canine search has always been an integral part of their rescue efforts. \u201cDogs come into play when people don\u2019t have an avalanche beacon,\u201d he says. \u201cThey find human scent. They dig and bark to signal when they find the scent and demonstrate victim loyalty; they don\u2019t leave their target.\u201d\nGerman Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, English Shepherds, and mixes are among the 41 dogs currently in the WBR program. Some are purchased from breeders, while others are adopted from shelters. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of work and research that goes into the selection of our dogs,\u201d Christensen says. \u201cWe\u2019re looking for a high-drive dog that has a lot of desire to be the pack leader out there.\u201d\nPuppies begin training at six to eight weeks old. They spend their first year as a C-level dog, learning basic obedience and social skills while becoming familiar with riding on chairlifts, snowmobiles, and helicopters.\nWasatch Backcountry Rescue dogs are trained using the Swiss 4 Phase Progression:\nThe owner teases their dog with a toy, and then jumps into a large hole in the snow. Another person gives the command to search before letting the dog loose to try and track down his owner.\nNext, the hole is partially\u2014and then completely\u2014blocked by snow, forcing the dog to dig to reach his owner. By now, he has figured out that \u201cSearch!\u201d means it\u2019s time to go sniff out his toy.\nThe other person is given the toy next, so the dog learns that he isn\u2019t always going to find his owner.\nFinally, the owner sends their dog in to search for someone else.\nRepetition of these stages and positive reinforcement are key, Anderson says. After mastering the Swiss method, a dog/handler team may obtain their B-level certification, allowing them to participate in rescue operations within the boundaries of the resort for which they work.\nWith an A-level certification, a team is authorized to respond to any Utah avalanche incident. In the A-level test, teams are given a 100 X 100-yard square search field, beneath which one to three \u201cvictims\u201d are buried. Distractions and possible clues\u2014including clothing and other objects\u2014have also been placed in the snow.\nThe handler must flag these items and work with their dog to clear the entire area within 20 minutes, followed by an oral examination by certified evaluators. In addition to management of their search dog, handlers must be proficient in avalanche rescue skills, shoveling and probing techniques, and wilderness first aid.\nWBR dogs also undergo an obedience test every year. A-level teams must re-certify every other year. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy,\u201d Christensen says. \u201cOnce you get certified, it\u2019s continued training year-round with these dogs.\u201d\nAt age eight or nine, handlers typically evaluate a dog\u2019s overall health and fitness to determine what the next step in their career should be. Some dogs retire then, but others have stayed on until age 11.\nAnderson has been involved with WBR for 15 years, and Ninja is her second avalanche dog and she tries to do a drill or obedience lesson with him every day.\nIn the summer of 2015, the duo expanded their proficiency to urban and non-winter wilderness searches. They were deployed to southern Utah in September following a deadly flash flood. \u201cHis primary focus is being an avalanche dog, but it would be a shame to have such a good work dog that I couldn\u2019t use year-round,\u201d she says.\nWBR members meet every month to discuss and practice the latest, most efficient rescue techniques, and the Anderson/Ninja duo has traveled as far as Switzerland for training opportunities.\nDogs are more frequently used to clear an avalanche site and ensure no one was caught beneath the snow than to find a specific victim, says Christensen, which he credits to improved ski safety education in recent years.\nThe number of deployments WBR dogs receive each season varies greatly depending on weather conditions and snowpack. \u201cIf we don\u2019t get called out, that\u2019s a good day for us,\u201d he says.\nBut when they\u2019re needed, backcountry first responders\u2014on two legs or four\u2014are up for the job.\nLearn more about Wasatch Backcountry Rescue.",

        "raw_content": "I sought the Lord, who answered me, delivered me from all my fears. (Ps. 34:5)\nPope John Paul II\u2019s urgent call to conversion was a message to believers. An invitation to a change of heart, not a change of religious denomination. Conversion, he suggested, is not a dramatic moment in time, but a series of ordinary moments, transformed by grace. It is a path that has been worn by the footsteps of those who have gone ahead of us in following Jesus. It is a way of living, \u201cnurtured through the prayerful reading of Sacred Scripture and the practice of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist\u201d (The Church in America, 26).\nPlease consider joining us on this path. We welcome everyone who is seeking to renew his or her life through the living Jesus Christ.\n\u201cI have brushed away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like a mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you \u201d (Isaiah 44:22).\nArchdiocesan Resources\nCatholic Men for Christ Conference\nCatholic Women for Christ Conference\nA terrific way to find a bit of solitude and detachment.

It usually lasts from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and is held at St. Dominic High School. Msgr. Callahan gives presentations that assist the men to grow into a deeper spirituality. Topics in the past have dealt with Male Spirituality, Prayer, Forgiveness and Eucharistic Spirituality. More information concerning the Men\u2019s Day of Recollection can be found in the bulletin and the parish website in February of each year. All men 18 years or older are invited to participate in this annual Day of Recollection during the season of Lent.\nAnnually St. Joseph\u2019s Pastoral Associate offers during Lent a Day of Recollection.

It is the symbol of the story of the life of Jesus. Knowing and meditating on his story causes growth in our spirits and strength for our souls. It connects us to him as human beings who experience the same things and enlightens us in our own struggles.\nMy name is Tina Coffey and I am a member of the Parish Council here at St. Joseph. This week I will continue our series of personal testimonies by sharing my story.\nWhen I sat down to write this, I asked myself if this was possible. How am I going to truly reach hundreds of people in a matter of minutes? Rather than continue to tell myself how impossible this was, I decided to pick up the very tool that I was challenged to share with you today. I picked up my rosary and began to pray. The following is what God gave to me. I ask you to open your minds and hearts to hear my story.\nWhat is the Rosary? It is the truth, a history, a weapon against evil, and finally a tool that can increase faith and grace.\nThe Rosary is the story of a real family and the events in their lives.\nIt is the story of good news, a visit with a family member you love, the birth of a new baby. It is proud moments parents have for their child and also the fear and worry a parent experiences.\nIt is life\u2019s celebrations and miracles: baptisms, weddings, living out your calling,\nIt is tragedy: worry and fear, facing fears, facing the evil in this world, and finally facing and coming to terms with death.\nIt is overcoming the odds, winning a battle that seems impossible, experiencing justice, and eternal rewards.\nAll the events I named are not generic life events but real emotions and experiences felt and lived by Mary, Joseph, and Jesus.\nI am a cradle catholic who lived a typical life of catholic school and going to mass on Sundays \u2013 not much else. I miscarried a baby 12 years ago and faced the question we all face. Why God?? Why have you abandoned me? When you ask that question, just as Jesus did on the cross, it is not abandonment but rather an invitation by God to make a choice: \u201cTurn towards me and I will give you what you need or turn away and lose everything.\u201d\nI chose to turn toward him because I felt I had no alternative. I was desperate for children and I knew He was the only way. I found peace and safety in the rosary because I felt, \u201cwho would understand my pain better than the Blessed Mother.\u201d It was a baby step, that has led to hundreds of baby steps in my faith.\nFaith is not a giant leap you can take and be done with. It is a lifetime of steps forward and backward. Each step gives you growth, knowledge, peace, and understanding.\nI challenge and invite each of you to pick up a rosary. Learn how to pray it. Take a baby step on your path towards communion with God.\nAs Catholics we use the terms communion and eucharist synonymously. Our goal as a parish council is to recognize and share that the eucharist is in fact the source and summit of our faith.\nGod really does answer our prayers (though not always the way we want of course) and many times He uses the people around us to answer them. The next time I feel a prompting to \u201cdo the right thing\u201d \u2013 I\u2019m going to listen to it. It may be God using ME to answer someone else\u2019s prayer!\nHi! My name is Annette McGarrahan, and I\u2019d like to tell you a true story.\nWhen I was about 20 years old, my father took a job in Baltimore, Maryland.\nSince my family lived in the Midwest at the time, this was going to entail a big move, with a several-hundred-mile drive in the car. My two sisters and I were all in college and working summer jobs \u2013 only my two brothers, who were 15 and 12, would be moving with my parents. But my father had to leave to start the new job right away, so that left my mother to drive halfway across the country with my two brothers.\nI hated the thought of Mom making that long drive by herself. My brothers could keep her company, but they couldn\u2019t give her a break from all that driving. What could I do? I was working an hourly job that didn\u2019t provide for vacation time. Finally, I just decided that I had to help my mom. Even though it meant losing my paycheck for awhile, I just felt I had to drive over with her \u2013 it was the right thing to do. So I went into my boss and told him I needed the time off, and explained why. He kindly agreed to let me go.\nI went home to tell my mom the good news, and she was very happy. She told her parents (my grandparents) who lived about four blocks from us. Of course, they were also very happy. The next time my grandmother saw me, she said, \u201cAnnette, I\u2019m so happy you\u2019re going to drive with Peggy (my mom) over to Baltimore. I was so worried about her, and I prayed that God would help us out and He did!\u201d As she told me this, a shiver ran down my spine, as I realized that God had used ME to answer my grandmother\u2019s prayer! I had never had that happen to me before \u2013 that awesome feeling that God had used me as His instrument. It showed me in a very concrete way that the power of prayer is real.\nGod really does answer our prayers (though not always the way we want of course) and many times He uses the people around us to answer them. So the next time I feel a prompting to \u201cdo the right thing\u201d \u2013 I\u2019m going to listen to it. It may be God using ME to answer someone else\u2019s prayer!\nREPENTANCE AND CLERGY SEX ABUSE\nCatholics today have their values and belief challenged as never before in recent memory. When the clergy sex abuse scandal broke nearly a decade ago, Catholics felt unable or unwilling to defend the church they grew up in. As the process of purification continues, learn how to face and answer this most difficult question. George Weigel offers his thoughts in his book The Courage to Be Catholic: Crisis, Reform and the Future of the Church.\nRead the Archdiocese of St. Louis\u2019 Policy Statement on Protecting God\u2019s Children.\nGeorge Weigel sees the future of the Catholic Church as filled with daring possibilities. He proposes answers for questions such as: What does the church believe about other great religions? Is Jesus uniquely the Savior of the World? Does belief in God limit our freedom? In his book The Truth of Catholicism: Ten Controversies Explored you will find answers that might surprise you.\nView the Catholics Come Home video.",

Next Generation Network\u2019s president Tonjia Coverdale\u2019s resignation over the fiber-optic network\u2019s direction, management of that government-owned internet system has terminated a number of high-level employees.\nThe federally-financed viNGN was established in 2010 as part of a national initiative, spearheaded by President Barack Obama, called the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program. It was initially conceived as a \u201cmiddle-mile\u201d wholesaler, authorized only to sell network access to local internet service providers, who then in turn would invest in fiber-optic infrastructure and offer access to their customers.\nCoverdale resigned her position after a March 10 viNGN board meeting in which she had a disagreement with Gov. Kenneth Mapp over additional paid holidays for viNGN employees, and in which there was dispute over whether viNGN should branch out from being solely a \u201cmiddle-mile\u201d wholesaler. Coverdale did not give a reason for her resignation, which was announced later in a statement from Government House.\nAsked about reports that a number of top personnel appointed by Coverdale had been terminated in the wake of her resignation, interim CEO and President Peter Schultz said the personnel changes were part of an effort to \u201cre-align\u201d the organization in line with its \u201cprimary mission.\u201d\n\u201cThe primary mission of our company is to provide wholesale middle mile high speed communication services to the USVI community through ISP\u2019s using our fiber optic network. In an effort to re-align the organization and refocus our attention on this important mission, we eliminated five staff positions last Friday and the individuals in those positions were terminated,\u201d Schultz said.\nIn December, Mapp signed an agreement allowing the government\u2019s Bureau of Information Technology to become the sole Internet service provider for other government agencies. Currently those agencies purchase internet services from various private ISPs. With the change in policy they will soon all purchase much cheaper access to publicly-owned viNGN through BIT, saving taxpayers\u2019 money.\nCoverdale testified to the V.I. Legislature in February that the system, which is several orders of magnitude faster than existing internet int he territory, was not reaching the homes of Virgin Islanders quickly enough. She urged legislators to change the law to allow it to compete with local ISPs rather than waiting for them to act as middle-men.

ISPs oppose these changes, arguing they are struggling to stay afloat and are unable to compete without protection. Testimony at the February Senate from Michael Carty, president of local ISP Smartnet and Alliance Data Services,hearing confirmed that some small businesses in his industry were already feeling the negative effects of government policy changes in the wake of the territory\u2019s broadband conversion.\nWhile Mapp allowed government agencies to save money by connecting directly to the viNGN through BIT, during the board meeting at which Coverdale resigned, Mapp spoke against allowing the government-owned network to compete with private ISPs.\n\u201cIt is their (private ISPs) job to get out there, construct the last mile, knock on doors and be competitive, not the government,\u201d Mapp said at that meeting ISPs. ( See Related Links below.)\nAt the February hearing, senators opposed both Mapp\u2019s move to allow the government to buy cheaper internet service from the government-owned viNGN and Coverdale\u2019s recommendation to allow the viNGN compete directly with private ISPs.\n\u201cColleagues, we cannot allow private established businesses in the Virgin Islands that have been here for years, some of them 15 to 20 years, to fall by the wayside. We can\u2019t. And the possibility is already here,\u201d Sen. Kurt Vialet, (D-St. Croix) said.\n\u201cI am not in agreement with BIT being the sole ISP [for the government]. Taxes helps to fund the government. By sideswiping the private sector the economy will be greatly impacted. Gross receipt taxes, employment taxes, corporate taxes will decrease as a result of removing private companies that operate as ISPs,\u201d Sen. Clifford Graham (D-St. Thomas) said.\nThe largest private ISPs in the territory pay little to no gross receipts taxes and corporate income taxes now, because they receive tax breaks negotiated with the University of the Virgin Islands RTPark, granted in 2009. In 2014, Senators changed the law to retroactively legalize those tax breaks, and when Gov. John deJongh vetoed the legislation, voted to override that veto. Graham voted for the legislation and for the veto override (See Related Links below)\nEmployees of the government-owned viNGN and employees of privately-owned ISPs both pay employment taxes.\nPrevious articleVIWMA Mandahl Convenience Center\u2019s Opening on March 1 Delayed\nNext articleNew Story by jb",

        "raw_content": "Real Pilots vs. IFR Pilots\nJuly 17, 2000 July 7, 2018 ~ Reader Submission\nI\u2019m strictly VFR. I don\u2019t mind flying in the haze and have flown over water in five miles visibility at night \u2014 those of you who think it\u2019s foolish should go back to flight school.\nI flew with an IFR pilot (once) who took our ship to 6,500ft, turned on the autopilot, kicked back, folded his hands across his chest and turned to me with a smile: \u2018I love flying,\u2019 he said. I was horrified. I\u2019ve only had that feeling one other time in the cockpit \u2014 after flying with an instructor for 40 hours of initial training, I asked if he ever wanted to do aerobatics, \u2018No,\u2019 he said. It was terrifying. That was the first time I realized there was a difference between real pilots and what I\u2019ve come to call \u2018controlled pilots\u2019 (CPs). I\u2019ve tried to avoid the latter ever since.\nControlled pilots are a special breed. They don\u2019t fly for the same reasons as the rest of us, and they don\u2019t possess the same skills.\nAs far as I\u2019m concerned, anyone who doesn\u2019t want to manipulate an aircraft through the sky at all times for the sheer joy of the experience should be held under suspicion, but any pilot who doesn\u2019t want to do aerobatics should have his license taken away. Aerobatics are the only way to truly understand the ocean we call the sky, how that ocean interacts with our craft and skills we use to explore it. What real pilot wouldn\u2019t want to develop an intimate understanding of each one of those things? What real pilot wouldn\u2019t want to truly understand how those things interact with the human mind \u2013 and soul?\nUnfortunately, IFR trainees are taught to avoid those explorations entirely. IFR training actually works to breed controlled pilots. This is where the CP mentality is developed as a science. Never exceed a standard rate turn, never lift the nose more than about 10 degrees off the horizon and never lower the nose more than about two degrees. The ultimate irony for these pilots is that as they embrace the new \u2018freedom\u2019 of their IFR ticket, it dooms them to fly within these confines and those of the air traffic control system \u2014 where they will always do what they are told (either by their instruments or controllers). In the end, they become technicians who monitor systems, not pilots who fly airplanes. Quite often, their skills are solidly surpassed by their preferred captains \u2013 the autopilots.\nFor those of you who are CPs (whether you know it or not) I don\u2019t particularly mind sharing the skies with you. Heck, get where you\u2019re going. Keep flying for the \u2018convenience\u2019 of it. Do your absurd, out of the way IFR routing on clear blue days, pop on the autopilot, and test your skills by seeing how straight and level you can fly. Dream your dreams of the day when flying will really be as convenient and safe as pushing a button \u2014 and above all, do as you\u2019re told.\nJust leave the flying for us.\n\u2039 PreviousCheck the Shimmy Dampner\nNext \u203aFlying with Executive Jet Aviation",

At the same time he has a somewhat ostentatious appearance with \"something of the dandy about him\"(Cather 448). The inner feeling of Paul makes him appear to be on drugs with dilated, unusually brilliant and large eyes. However, Paul is not on drugs but he lives in an altered condition of consciousness.\nThe theme of the novel is surreal because the boy is not attracted to his life at home and school, instead he finds happiness in the theatrical environment where he holds the job of an usher and spends time on Sundays. The author has depicted several occasions that reveal Paul\u2019s emotional fulfillment when he is engaged in the theatre setting. Cather says \"It was very much as though these were a great reception and Paul were the host\" (Cather 451). The author points out the happiness of Paul while working at the theatre by saying that \"as though it were his greatest pleasure in life\" (Cather 451).

The apostle also stresses the fact that people who live after the resurrection of Christ should be regarded as the inhabitants of the new world which is dramatically different from the past ages.

According to the apostle, the latter can be achieved through the former. However, one should keep in mind that while discovering one\u2019s true identity, one will discover one\u2019s new identity that was refreshed by sacrifice of Jesus.

        "raw_content": "What if I told you that you could be living your life without regrets, successful and happy and not settle for less than the best? What if I told you that all it takes is changing your morning routine? Would you do it?\nI have been in a slump, a pretty big slump. I know I've shared some of my current submissive blues with you on the site and I'm sure there's more in the wings, but I just had to tell you about something that is making a difference and I'm only two weeks in! What I'm talking about is \"The Miracle Morning\" or TMM for short. It has turned my days around! What used to be no drive, lack of motivation, rain cloud sort of days have been changed to productive, inspired, positive days that are infectious and make me want to keep doing it.\nI first heard of Miracle Morning over a year ago when I started bullet journaling and found Kara Benz, a YouTube creator, bullet journal enthusiast, and blogger. She shared a spread she made called \"Level 10 Life\" and I was fascinated. She seemed to have it all together. Her happiness and personal development were all ranked and charted with goals and action plan all right there. When she said that the ideas of the Level 10 Life were from Hal Elrod's \"The Miracle Morning\" I knew I wanted to get that book! I wanted the positive, organized, productive life that it seemed to promise. I wanted to be living at a level 10 in every facet of my life.\nSo What Is The Miracle Morning?\nThe Miracle Morning is a 6-step routine with uses many of the concepts I've shared on Submissive Guide to help you improve your submission; meditation, reading self-improvement books and articles, using affirmations (mantras, if you will) and journaling. Hal adds in two more and we'll get to those too. The idea is to habit-stack. Habit Stacking simply means you pick a few habits that you want to practice, make a sequence out of them and then make the sequence itself a new habit. The author even created an acronym for his habit stack. He calls it his Life S.A.V.E.R.S. You'll learn more about it in a second.\nThe key point of the book that really drove home the need for change in me is that Hal revealed that 95% of people settle for less than they could get from their life. Why? Uncomfortable with change, lack of motivation, resigned to just stagnate and so many other reasons. The goal of adopting a new way to make positive habits stick is to become the 5%. The people who are successful and happy and move forward with everything they wanted in life. I wanted to be one of those people.\nAnd you know what, you deserve to be one of those people too.\nSo what's this habit stack that I've talked about and how in the world can it help you?\nLife S.A.V.E.R.S.\nThe Miracle Morning is broken down into several parts. You can do them in any order and in any way they best fit into your life. Here\u2019s a quick breakdown for you:\nS. (Silence): Meditation, prayer, deep breathing, reflection. Finding a good center and remember it takes the time to master meditation.\nA. (Affirmations): Affirmations are basically mantras that you repeat to yourself. I've written about writing your own mantra before. They are a way to change your programming.\nV. (Visualization): Visualization is the practice of creating mental pictures of specific behaviors and outcomes occurring in your life. Imagine your biggest dreams, goals and where you want to be in your life.\nE. (Exercise): The hardest thing for me to do and of course Hal suggests you get your blood pumping and your heart moving first thing in the morning. But worth it!\nR. (Reading): I love the idea of reading but the focus of this step is personal development reading. Things that are inspirational, positive influence and life building.\nS. (Scribe): Writing is a good way to get your positive vibes going. This can be journaling, keeping a gratitude log or doing prompts. You remember prompts, right?\nThe beauty of this system is that you can adjust it to work with your life and your style. You can do it in as little as 6 minutes, or like me, take about an hour (what can I say I love reading and writing). You can do it in any order, but the key is to do it. Everyday. And to get up early to get it done.\nThat's the painful part for many, but as I searched YouTube for inspirational stories of others using the Miracle Morning I could see their faces from day one to day 15 and onward change and become more positive and happier that they were getting up earlier and getting the big stuff done - the life changing stuff.\nHow the Miracle Morning Is Working For Me\nBefore I share how I'm using the Miracle Morning, let me say that my morning routine varies from day to day. While I try to do each of these steps every morning, it's not always in the same order, and definitely not in S.A.V.E.R.S order. Sometimes my morning routine can take 30 minutes, other days it might be an hour (or more!). It really depends on how much time I have, how much work I need to get done, how well the cats are behaving and how I'm feeling.\nLet's just say I always attempt to get all of the S.A.V.E.R.S. done, even if it's just the abbreviated version from the book called the 6-minute Miracle Morning.\nI wake up around 6:45 am. I've always been a morning person and sleeping in is not something I can do easily. In fact, if I don't set my alarm, I naturally wake up around 8 am. I always have. Before I started my new routine, my alarm was set for 7:15, so I simply moved it back an extra 30 minutes. When the alarm goes off the kitties come out of their nighttime hiding places and I give them each a snuggle. This is a part of my routine that I love and I've been doing it for years. Kitty love!\nAs soon as I get up I drink a tall glass of water with my medication. I used to be an eat breakfast as soon as I got up sort of girl, all through school that was my style. Then about 10 years ago I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism which requires I take my meds on an empty stomach and not eat or drink anything for at least 30 mins (and 60 mins is better). So, breakfast now waits.\nSilence is the hardest step for me. There are many ways you can interpret this step and I've tried a couple so far. Meditation is the most common interpretation and I'm terrible at it! I know I've talked about meditation before on the site and how it can help you as a submissive and I stand by that. But meditation takes practice, and if you've not tried it before, I highly recommend it!\nI sit in silence, or my preferred option is using a guided meditation. You can listen to some free ones at UCLA Health. There are also phone apps if you want to use one of those.\nI do have to admit that I've also interpreted the Silence step to be shower time. I've found I can really relax and pay attention to my body when I'm in my personal grooming mindset. I can do my best relaxation while I'm enjoying the hot water spray!\nThis step has been the largest breakthrough for me. When I embraced the fact that \"As you think, so shall you become,\" (quote, Bruce Lee) I really made progress. It's really the same process as fake it until you make it that I've used before in my past.\nI have five affirmations that I read aloud several times every day. I've categorized them based on the areas I want to focus on in my life. They are health, positive thinking, marriage, good habits, and happiness. It's amazing how the sentences pop into my head throughout the day to remind me where I should be focusing and I believe I'm making the changes I need to, just by saying that I'm already there in my affirmations.\nVisualization is the practice of creating mental pictures of your goals and dreams and where you want to be in live. You can close your eyes and imagine the things you are aiming for, or create a vision board poster to look at. I'm slowly building a vision board on Pinterest that I can browse through and visualize my life and the different things I want to achieve. Feel free to go check out, borrow some of the ideas for your own vision board, or simply gaze at all the lovely boards on Pinterest.\nI am a sedentary person. I want to change that, but it is going to take time. So, for my Miracle Morning, I am working on adding minutes and steps to my daily activity more than weight loss and strength training goals. This hopefully will change in the future but I want to set up a habit I can maintain, not overwork myself and hate this part of my routine. Most days I'll do a 10-20 minute walking routine, following along with Jessica Smith on YouTube.\nI love reading but have only recently been looking for personal development books to read. If you've read Submissive Guide for any length of time, you know that I'm a huge proponent of self-improvement and making you the best version of yourself and I'm doing more reading to make that a reality in myself.\nMy reading is a step that varies in length from day to day. Most days, I read for about 15 minutes. I hate stopping in the middle of a chapter, so I'll often tackle one or two chapters in a sitting. Just enough to get a few basic points that I can reflect on.\nWhen I'm done reading I'll make breakfast. Fix some coffee. See if KnyghtMare is getting up \"on time\".\nThis is Hal's play on the writing or journaling. Many people do a set number of pages per morning, often called \"Morning Pages\" but as long as you take the time to put your current thoughts and feelings on paper it will clear your mind and help you focus your day. I have several journals that I maintain and this is also the perfect time for me to check my bullet journal and the to-do list for the day. I update my habit trackers and plan out my day. I do a bit of journaling. I brainstorm an article for Submissive Guide. I'm at my best in the morning so these are the things I will often stick to.\nThis is also the step that can take the most time. I've spent upwards of an hour or more journaling, writing and brainstorming before I really dig into my work for the day.\nThat's it for my simple morning routine that shakes away any negative thoughts, gets me built up for the day ahead and keeps me positive and focused all day long. I've never been more successful than when I started this routine and my bullet journal. It's been a life changer.\nHow This Is Bringing Happiness Back to My Submission\nFor far too long I have attached my happiness to someone else - mainly KnyghtMare, without any regard to my own happiness. I had taken my slave identity to the extreme and completely ignored myself. I made my purpose in life of catering to his happiness, no, my identity became his slave, and I lost all the other parts of me. I forgot the other roles I have in my life and the many things that bring me happiness. All that mattered was that KnyghtMare was happy. And then he went through depression and I was depressed. In that time, he pushed me to find happiness away from him. To rekindle who I am and who I want to be without the slave label.\nI am no longer a slave. I am currently uncollared. KnyghtMare and I are still together, but because I lost my joy in submission and was really unhappy, KnyghtMare removed my collar. He wants to put it back on, but not until I'm able to find happiness and the joy of submission I once had. I have to do this for me.\nTo be honest, it hasn't been an easy road. It's a lot easier to make excuses for why you are poor at making friends, not social at events, have no hobbies and no joy in life. But really, it's my own fault for not making them a priority. I've learned with the help of The Miracle Morning that I'm the one that can make the change I need in my life and that if I set my mind to doing it, it will happen for me. I don't expect to get back to that peaceful place in submission anytime soon. I've got a lot of introspection and self-improvement ahead.\nLearning to be positive, to focus on my dreams and goals and to make things a priority again have been a huge change for me and I'm looking forward to a better future. Maybe you can see how the Miracle Morning might help you also.\nHow to Write a Submissive Life Mission Statement",

        "raw_content": "PractiFI\u2019s processes and tasks help you manage the everyday operations of your practice. They allow you to delegate, manage and track your team\u2019s work with control and efficiency.\nA process is a routine activity that is conducted within your business. For example, preparing an advice document. Processes can be configured by your PractiFI System Administrator and they consist of pre-defined steps that can be allocated to various team members. Process steps can have predefined outcomes and resultant actions such as marking the current process as complete and kicking off a subsequent process. Values of certain fields can also be updated (e.g. client stage). Processes are typically started from a service.\nA task is a single item that is assigned to an individual team member to do. Tasks can be individual or they can form part of a process. Individual tasks can also be recurring, i.e. repeating on a weekly, monthly or annual basis.\nTasks are where you\u2019ll track the day to day operations of your practice.\nTasks are typically created in three primary ways: As a standalone task (either single or recurring) on a client or service, as a new task within a process or simply as a personal task for a team member (either single or recurring). These options enhance flexibility for your practice by allowing for one-off or repeating client tasks, project task management and personal task management, respectively.\nAn example of an individual task may be lodging an application form. Task templates can be used here to ensure consistent action and limit the potential for error (as default values can be specified and due date logic applied).\nAn example of a common process in a financial advice business is on-boarding a new client. Within this process, there may be the following tasks:\nReceptionist to mail the client a welcome gift.\nAdmin assistant to gather important client signatures.\nAssistant to send the client standard compliance documents, such as your financial services guide.\nFinance team to add the new client record to the billing system.\nIt is important to note that tasks are the most basic way of managing your practice operations. Processes are a tool for your team members to efficiently manage multiple tasks.\nProcesses and tasks are typically completed as part of providing a service to your clients. By linking processes and tasks to services, you can track the profitability of providing particular services to a client.",

        "raw_content": "Find Your Bliss: Discover the Secrets of Making You Live an Abundant and Successful Life\nWhen the subject of personal success and fulfillment is being discussed, it can actually mean different things to different people. This is because what may be deemed as successful for one person may not be viewed the same way by another individual, and this is something that everyone should understand since people have certain opinions on what does and doesn\u2019t constitute as successful to them. However, despite the individual views of a given person, success is truly something that pretty much anyone can realistically achieve.\nThe key point that you need to remember here is that you are the one who should define the parameters of what you believe counts as successful. Once you change your thinking into this type of perspective, then it will become easier for you to attain your goals and receive the fruits of your labor. The fact of the matter is that successful people tend to live abundant and fulfilling lives, and this is something you should personally aspire to. That being said, there are amazing ways wherein you could change your entire life for the better.\nYour desire to live an abundant and successful life is within your reach, for as long as you are proactive with your attitude and possess a strong sense of determination. There will, of course, be challenges ahead of you that might test your resolve. But as long as you are resilient and refuse to back down from trying to reach your goals, then absolutely nothing can stand in your way. So if you want to begin your journey to a better personal future, take a look at the various life hacks and pieces of advice featured below for more information.\nInfuse yourself with happiness\nHere\u2019s an undeniable fact that you need to be aware of: happiness is a powerful and transformative element that will do wonders for your life. When you\u2019re in a consistent stateof happiness, then you\u2019ll be able to find solid solutions to all of your personal issues.\nEvery day, make it a habit to wake up in the morning thinking of thoughts or ideas that make you happy as a way to power you through the day. You can even use these happy thoughts as a good form of therapy whenever you\u2019re experiencing really tough situations.\nUpgrade your personal life\nImagine the kind of person you really want to be and use that as the motivation to transform yourself into a better individual than where you first started. Similar to how software receives regular updates, you should also think about giving upgrades to yourself.\nWhether you plan on getting a style makeover or rearranging the look of your bedroom to focus on ease and efficiency, you must do everything in your power to ensure that your personal life will lead to the right direction, and one that will help you attain your goals.\nBe an advocate for optimism\nPeople who live successful and abundant lives always look on the bright side of things, even when they find themselves in dire situations. Optimism is definitely one of the strongest weapons you can have in your arsenal, so you must frequently use it to your advantage.\nAnother great thing about optimism is that it\u2019s such an infectious thing that can deeply inspire other people. You\u2019ll be doing others around you a great service if they see that you\u2019re someone who looks at the silver lining of every dark cloud that comes your way.\nGo off on exciting explorations\nWhen you need a rejuvenating boost of inspiration to recharge your dull and dreary life, the best solution to this dilemma is to pack your bags and go off on an exciting trip. Travel is always a reliable way to explore the world around you and gather plenty of inspiring ideas.\nIf you\u2019ve ever wanted to go somewhere that has always fueled your fantasies, then now is as good a time as any to make sure that you turn those fantasies into a tangible reality. Escape to undiscovered places and you might just discover something new about yourself.\nPrioritize your loved ones\nLiving an truly abundant life means that you must take the time to connect with the most important people in your life. Having a strong support network via your friends, family members, and trusted coworkers is something that will prove to be emotionally enriching.\nSustaining close personal relationships with people is essential to your emotional wellbeing as your loved ones function as an anchor to keep you steady in times of crisis. Be grateful for their presence because they are the ones who will stick with you through thick and thin.\nAs much as we want to please everyone in our lives, there will be times when you simply cannot be the one who plays the part of the crowd pleaser. Therefore, you must not be afraid to tell people any if they ask you for something that you can\u2019t really give them.\nWhen in doubt, remember this piece of advice: it\u2019s safer to turn people down politely and explain why you cannot do what they asked of you rather than blindly saying yes out of obligation and then end up failing to deliver on the promises that you made to them.\nLive freely without guilt\nHave you ever wanted to do something fun and unexpected only to restrain yourself because you feel guilty or ashamed about what others may think of you if they found out? Here\u2019s a hot tip: it\u2019s none of their business what you want to do with your personal affairs.\nYou should learn to live your life without a trace of guilt, so if there\u2019s something you\u2019ve always wanted to do, then you should go for it!

        "raw_content": "Hospital > Departments > Medical Imaging > Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging\nNuclear medicine: patient preparation\nPET scan: patient information\nNuclear medicine and molecular imaging is a technique that uses a radioactive tracer to take images of how organs and different parts of the body function. Radioactive tracers are introduced into the body by injection, swallowing, or inhalation. The amount of tracer used is carefully selected to provide the least amount of radiation exposure to the patient while ensuring an accurate test.\nAfter the tracer is administered, a special camera tracks the path of the tracer as it moves naturally through the body so that a specialist can assess how well the organ, tissue, or bone is functioning.\nNuclear medicine & molecular imaging: what to expect\nDifferent tests require different preparations. It\u2019s very important the correct preparation is used for the test to be performed properly. For example, some scans may require you to not eat or drink for several hours before your test. Another test may not have any restrictions.\nIf you are scheduled to have a nuclear imaging test at Sunnybrook and are not sure of how to prepare for it, please call 416-480-4336.\nThe test will take approximately 30 minutes to six hours, including preparation, depending on the test required. You may need to return for further assessments.\nPlease check-in for your appointment at the Bayview Campus (2075 Bayview Ave), A-wing, ground floor, room AG 21.\nOur receptionist may ask you to fill out a form about your medical history, medications you may be taking, allergies and any other questions as they relate to your test.\nYou may be asked to remove any clothing with zippers, clasps or wires that may interfere with the scan. Although not common, you may be asked wear a hospital gown.\nTiny, molecular-sized radioactive tracers will be introduced into the body by injection, swallowing, or inhalation. Typically, you should not experience any side effects from the radioactive tracers.\nThe technologist will help position you on the examining table under a camera. It is important that you remain still so that the camera can take clear pictures.\nThe camera will then detect and track the path of the tracer as it moves through your body so that our specialists can assess how well the organ, tissue, or bone is functioning.\nBecause nuclear medicine and molecular imaging measures how the body functions, these tests usually take longer than others. Most nuclear imaging machines do not give off any radiation so the time you are under the machine does not impact how much you are exposed to radiation.\nGenerally, you can resume your usual activities and regular diet immediately. Your body will eliminate the tracer naturally; depending on the test, this may be within three to four days or as long as a month. As long as the tracer is inside your body, you may set off security alarms. If you are travelling soon after your test, speak with your doctor to get a letter stating your situation.\nThe results of your imaging should be available to your referring physician within four to five business days after your test. Your physician will discuss the test results with you.\nA-wing, ground, room",

Newman & Son\nWhere the jurisdiction of the federal court of a suit brought by a trustee in bankruptcy rests upon diverse citizenship alone, the judgment of the circuit court of appeals is final; if, however, the petition also discloses as an additional ground of jurisdiction that the case arises under the laws of the United States, the judgment of the circuit court of appeals is not final, but can be reviewed by this Court.\nWhether the case is one arising under the laws of the United States must be determined upon the statements in the petition itself, and not upon questions subsequently arising in the progress of the case. Macfadden v. United States, 213 U. S. 288.\nSection 23 of the Bankruptcy Act, as amended by the Act of February 5, 103, conferring jurisdiction on the circuit courts of certain classes of cases, was not intended to increase the jurisdiction of those courts in bankruptcy matters, but rather to limit it to the classes of cases over which those courts are given jurisdiction by the acts creating them.\nWhether the federal court had jurisdiction on grounds other than diverse citizenship must be determined from complainants' own statement as set forth in the bill affirmatively and distinctly, regardless of questions subsequently arising; grounds of jurisdiction may not be inferred argumentatively.\nA suit to enforce a right which takes its origin in the laws of the United States is not necessarily, or for that reason alone, one arising under those laws. There must be a controversy respecting the validity, construction, or effect of such a law upon the determination of which the result depends.\nWhere a trustee in bankruptcy sues in the federal court on the ground that the property, or bond representing the value thereof, belonged to the bankrupt, and diverse citizenship exists, the suit does not depend upon the validity, construction, or effect of any law of the United States, and the judgment of the circuit court of appeals is final.\nWhere a trustee permits a bond to be given for value of goods and sues on the bond as merely representing the goods, and not as required by any statute, the case is not one arising under the laws of the United States, and jurisdiction is not conferred on the federal court by reason of the existence of such a bond.\nWhere diversity of citizenship exists, the trustee can sue in the federal court without consent of defendant, and if consent be given, it does not, where such diversity exists, create an independent ground of jurisdiction.\nWrit of error to review 192 F. 753 dismissed.\nThe facts, which involve the jurisdiction of this Court on appeals from and error to the circuit court of appeals in cases brought by trustees in bankruptcy, are stated in the opinion.\nThis case is submitted upon motion to dismiss or affirm. The action was brought by William S. Lovell, trustee of Knight, Yancey & Company, against Isidore Newman & Son and others, in the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, to recover stipulated damages in the sum of $98,500 on a certain bond. issues were joined and the case was tried and a judgment rendered in favor of the defendants. 188 F. 534. On writ of error, the circuit court of appeals affirmed that judgment. 192 F. 753.\nA writ of certiorari to the judgment of the circuit court of appeals was prayed and denied. (December 23, 1912.)\nThe question of jurisdiction presented is, was the judgment of the circuit court of appeals final, or is it subject to review by writ of error in this Court? As the present suit was upon a bond, and concerns the right of the trustee to recover thereon, it presents a controversy arising in a bankruptcy proceeding, the finality of which in the circuit court of appeals depends upon the application of the Circuit Court of Appeals Act to the case. Hewit v. Berlin Machine Works, 194 U. S. 296; Coder v. Arts, 213 U. S. 223, 213 U. S. 233; Knapp v. Milwaukee Trust Co., 216 U. S. 545, 216 U. S. 553; Tefft, Weller & Co. v. Munsuri, 222 U. S. 114, 222 U. S. 118. If the jurisdiction in the present case rests alone upon diverse citizenship, then, under the Circuit Court of Appeals Act, the judgment of the circuit court of appeals is final; if, as contended by the plaintiff in error, the petition\nin the case discloses, as a ground of jurisdiction in addition to that of diverse citizenship, that the case arises under the laws of the United States, then the judgment of the circuit court of appeals is not final, and the case can come here from that court. And it is well settled that this question must be decided not because of questions which may have arisen or which might arise in the subsequent progress of the case, but upon the grounds of jurisdiction asserted in the petition. Macfadden v. United States, 213 U. S. 288.\nTurning, then, to the petition for the assertion of the cause of action upon which this suit was brought, we find from its averments that Knight, Yancey & Company, partners, doing business in Decatur, Alabama, were adjudicated bankrupts by the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Alabama on the 20th of April, 1910; that Lovell, the trustee in bankruptcy, is a citizen of the State of Alabama, and also that the members of the partnership and each of them are citizens of other states than Louisiana. It appears in the petition that, on the third of May, 1910, C. E. Frost and Lovell, who were then receivers in bankruptcy of Knight, Yancey & Company, filed, as such receivers, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, their petition, which is attached to and made part of the petition in this case, setting forth that certain cotton was in the possession of the master of the steamer Ingelfingen at the port of New Orleans, and would, unless restrained, be shipped beyond the jurisdiction of the court; that certain persons in Italy held spurious bills of lading upon which they would seek to obtain possession of such cotton; that the original bills of lading had been destroyed or made away with, and were not in the hands of bona fide holders; that therefore the legal title to the cotton was in the petitioners, and that any attempt to ship the cotton to a foreign country would result in depriving the\nbankrupt estate of that asset, and would subject it to the claims of foreign creditors, and would constitute an unlawful preference within the meaning and intendment of the bankruptcy act in favor of the foreign holders of the spurious bills of lading, and they prayed for an injunction, or that, in the alternative, the court would order the United States marshal to seize and take possession of the cotton, and prayed for an order upon the master of the steamer Ingelfingen, its owners and agents, to show cause, if any they could, why the relief prayed for should not be granted. A restraining order was issued by the district court, the master of the Ingelfingen appeared, excepted to the petition, alleging that the receivers had no right or capacity to institute suit and that the court was without jurisdiction, and afterwards filed an answer in which he set up that the partnership had sold cotton to various Italian purchasers under contracts in the usual mercantile course -- that is, it had shipped the cotton to Italy to its order, upon through bills of lading, and drafts for the price of the cotton, with the bills of lading attached, had been discounted, the Italian purchasers finally taking up the drafts and securing the cotton covered by the bills of lading; that in February, 1910, the partnership discounted, and the Italian purchasers subsequently paid, certain drafts with bills of lading attached, alleged in the petition to be forged, covering 1,400 bales of cotton bearing certain marks, and they acquired the bills of lading in the regular course of business, prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy, for value and in ignorance of the forgery; that in March and April of that year, the partnership shipped the cotton called for by the bills of lading, the cotton bearing the same marks and the bills of lading being substantially identical with the alleged forged bills of lading, and being the bills of lading alleged in the petition to have been made away with, and that 89 bales of the cotton were previously exported and the 1,311 remaining\nbales were on board the Ingelfingen. The master further alleged that the cotton was the property of the Italian purchasers, and rightfully in his possession as bailee, and that the bankrupt estate had no interest in the cotton; that, if the bills of lading in the hands of the purchasers were spurious, they were forged by the partnership, and that the cotton was shipped under genuine bills of lading which were not now outstanding, but of which the alleged forged bills of lading were duplicates; that the partnership was paid for the cotton, which was apportioned to cover the bills of lading held by the purchasers in good faith and at a time when the partnership was not known to be insolvent; that the purchasers and their agents were ignorant of the forgery or that the shipment was other than in regular course, and that no preference was given them. The master also alleged that the partnership had for some time been following this practice, and that the purchasers had been securing their cotton under forged bills of lading, of which practice they were ignorant until after the filing of the petition in bankruptcy. The master further alleged that he was the bailee under regular bills of lading, and bound to deliver to the true owners, for whom he was obliged to protect the cotton for which he had issued receipt, and was entitled to earn his freight, for which and other charges he had a lien on the cotton, and that the charges would be increased by further delay. He denied the inadequacy of a remedy at law. The agent of the steamer also appeared and adopted the answer of the master of the Ingelfingen as its own. The court, upon a hearing, ordered a temporary injunction upon the receivers giving bond in the sum of $10,000, and thereupon, the bond having been given and the temporary injunction awarded, the bond now in suit was executed and delivered, running to the receivers and such trustee as might be elected or appointed, which after reciting the order of injunction, provided:\n\"Whereas, it was further provided in said order or injunction that said cotton might be removed out of said jurisdiction upon the filing by the respondents in said proceeding, or either of them, of a bond for the value of said cotton, which has been fixed by agreement for purposes of bonding at the sum above mentioned.\"\n\"Now therefore the condition of this obligation is such that, if said Th. Ruhne and Isidore Newman & Son, New Orleans, Louisiana, above mentioned, shall well and truly pay to said obligees the said sum of ninety-eight thousand, five hundred ($98,500) dollars, or such part thereof as the court may direct, if, in a suit or action at law or in equity that may or shall hereafter he brought on this bond by said receivers, or by said trustee or trustees, or by said estate in bankruptcy against the obligors herein, or either of them, in the circuit or District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Louisiana, it shall be adjudged that said receivers, or said trustee or trustees of said Knight, Yancey & Company, or the bankrupt estate of said Knight, Yancey & Company, have the right, title, or interest in or to said cotton, or any part thereof, then and in such case this obligation shall be null, void, and of no effect; otherwise the same shall remain in full force and effect.\"\nFrom this recital it is apparent that the proceeding in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana was ancillary to the original proceeding in the court of bankruptcy in Alabama, where the adjudication was had. It was long in doubt whether, under the Act of 1898, such ancillary proceeding would lie in another district court, but the matter was settled in favor of such jurisdiction in aid of the original jurisdiction by the decisions of this Court in Babbitt v. Dutcher, 216 U. S. 102, and in Elkus, Petitioner, 216 U. S. 115. Later, after this ancillary suit was brought, the Congress removed all doubt concerning the matter by passing an Act of June 25,\n1910 (36 Stat. 838), expressly conferring such ancillary jurisdiction in aid of the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court which had appointed the receiver or trustee.\nThe present action was brought upon the bond in the United States circuit court, and was taken by writ of error to the circuit court of appeals, and the appellate jurisdiction to review that court is the one now in question. Section 23 of the Bankruptcy Act must be consulted to determine the jurisdiction of the circuit court. That section provides:\n\"Sec. 23a. The United States circuit courts shall have jurisdiction of all controversies at law and in equity, as distinguished from proceedings in bankruptcy, between trustees as such and adverse claimants, concerning the property acquired or claimed by the trustees, in the same manner and to the same extent only as though bankruptcy proceedings had not been instituted, and such controversies had been between the bankrupts and such adverse claimants.\"\n\"b. Suits by the trustee shall only be brought or prosecuted in the courts where the bankrupt, whose estate is being administered by such trustee, might have brought or prosecuted them if proceedings in bankruptcy had not been instituted, unless by consent of the proposed defendant, except suits for the recovery of property under section sixty, subdivision b, and section sixty-seven, subdivision e\"\n[the exception being added by the amendment of February 5, 1903].\nThat section gives jurisdiction to the circuit courts of the United States of controversies at law or in equity, as distinguished from bankruptcy proceedings, between the trustee and adverse claimants in the same manner and to the same extent as though bankruptcy proceedings had not been instituted. It is also provided that suits by the trustee can only be brought in courts where the bankrupt might have brought them, if proceedings in bankruptcy\nhad not been instituted, unless by consent of the proposed defendant. Later, when Congress enlarged the jurisdiction of the district court by the Act of February 5, 1903, exception was made in favor of certain suits for the recovery of property in fraud of the act, but this did not affect suits of the present character. The cases in this Court which have considered this section have determined that it was not intended to increase the jurisdiction of the United States circuit courts in bankruptcy matters, but rather to limit it to such suits and controversies as are within the jurisdiction given such courts by the acts creating them -- that is, controversies in law and in equity with adverse claimants, where the amount involved is in excess of $2,000, where diverse citizenship exists (the citizenship test being, because of the Bankruptcy Act, that of the bankrupt, and not that of the trustee), or there is a cause of action arising under the Constitution or laws of the United States. Bush v. Elliott, 202 U. S. 477; 1 Loveland on Bankruptcy, 4th ed. \u00a7\u00a7 74 et seq.; 1 Remington on Bankruptcy \u00a7 1686.\nThe present suit, so far as the ground of diverse citizenship is concerned, conforms to the requirement of the Bankruptcy Act as construed in Bush v. Elliott, supra, for the citizenship of the bankrupts is other than that of Louisiana, and the amount in controversy exceeds the sum of $2,000. But it is contended that the petition also discloses a ground of jurisdiction other than diverse citizenship, and upon the solution of that question the present jurisdiction depends. This Court had recent occasion to summarize the principles upon which such jurisdiction rests in Shulthis v. McDougal, 225 U. S. 561, and we can do no better than to recur to that summary for a statement of the principles which must control in deciding the present case (p. 225 U. S. 569):\n\"1. Whether the jurisdiction depended on diverse citizenship alone, or on other grounds as well, must be determined from the complainant's statement of his own\ncause of action as set forth in the bill, regardless of questions that may have been brought into the suit by the answers or in the course of the subsequent proceedings. Colorado Central Mining Co. v. Turck, 150 U. S. 138; Tennessee v. Union & Planters' Bank, 152 U. S. 454; Spencer v. Duplan Silk Co., 191 U. S. 526; Devine v. Los Angeles, 202 U. S. 313, 202 U. S. 333.\"\n\"2. It is not enough that grounds of jurisdiction other than diverse citizenship may be inferred argumentatively from the statements in the bill, for jurisdiction cannot rest on any ground that is not affirmatively and distinctly set forth. Hanford v. Davies, 163 U. S. 273, 163 U. S. 279; Mountain View Mining Co. v. McFadden, 180 U. S. 533; Bankers' Casualty Co. v. Minneapolis &c. Co., 192 U. S. 371, 192 U. S. 383, 192 U. S. 385.\"\n\"3. A suit to enforce a right which takes its origin in the laws of the United States is not necessarily, or for that reason alone, one arising under those laws, for a suit does not so arise unless it really and substantially involves a dispute or controversy respecting the validity, construction, or effect of such a law upon the determination of which the result depends.\"\nDoes it, then, appear in the petition in the present case, in addition to averments of diverse citizenship, that the petitioner has asserted a ground of jurisdiction which\n\"really and substantially involves a dispute or controversy respecting the validity, construction, or effect of a law of the United States, and upon which his right to recover depends?\"\nSuch a cause of action was not asserted simply because the action was brought by an assignee in bankruptcy. Mr. Justice Gray, speaking for the Court, said in Bardes v. Hawarden Bank, 178 U. S. 524, 178 U. S. 536:\n\"The first clause provides that 'the United States circuit courts shall have jurisdiction of all controversies at law and in equity, as distinguished from proceedings in bankruptcy' (thus clearly recognizing the essential\ndifference between proceedings in bankruptcy, on the one hand, and suits at law or in equity, on the other), 'between trustees as such and adverse claimants, concerning the property acquired or claimed by the trustees;' restricting that jurisdiction, however, by the further words, 'in the same manner and to the same extent only as though bankruptcy proceedings had not been instituted and such controversies had been between the bankrupt and such adverse claimants.' This clause, while relating to the circuit courts only, and not to the district courts of the United States, indicates the intention of Congress that the ascertainment, as between the trustee in bankruptcy and a stranger to the bankruptcy proceedings, of the question whether certain property claimed by the trustee does or does not form part of the estate to be administered in bankruptcy, shall not be brought within the jurisdiction of the national courts solely because the rights of the bankrupt and of his creditors have been transferred to the trustee in bankruptcy.\"\nThis was also held in Spencer v. Duplan Silk Co., 191 U. S. 526, in which the assignee brought an action in the state court in trover for the conversion of goods alleged to belong to the estate. Diversity of citizenship was shown, and upon that ground the case was removed to the circuit court of the United States. It went to the circuit court of appeals, and it was then contended that it might be reviewed here, but the writ of error was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, Mr. Chief Justice Fuller saying (p. 191 U. S. 530):\n\"But a suit does not so arise unless it really and substantially involves a dispute or controversy as to the effect or construction of the Constitution, or validity or construction of the laws or treaties of the United States, upon the determination of which the result depends, and which appears in the record by plaintiff's pleading. . . .\"\n\"Plaintiff's declaration set forth no matter raising any\ncontroversy under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. It is true that, if the lumber and materials belonged to Bennett and Rothrock on January 13, 1900, plaintiff in error succeeded to the title of the firm on the adjudication, but the question of Bennett and Rothrock's ownership on that day, in itself, involved no federal controversy, and the mere fact that plaintiff was trustee in bankruptcy did not give jurisdiction. Bardes v. Bank, 178 U. S. 524. Indeed, if the case had not been removed, and had gone to judgment in the court of common pleas, and that judgment had been affirmed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania on the same grounds as those on which the circuit court of appeals proceeded, a writ of error could not have been brought under \u00a7 709 of the Revised Statutes, for the case would not have fallen within either of the classes enumerated in that section as the basis of our jurisdiction. The validity of the Bankruptcy Act was conceded, and no right specially set up or claimed under it was denied.\"\nThat case has frequently been cited approvingly since. Warder v. Loomis, 197 U.S. 619; Watkins v. American Nat'l Bank of Denver, 199 U.S. 599; Mobile Transp. Co. v. Mobile, 199 U.S. 604; Montana Catholic Missions v. Missoula County, 200 U. S. 118, 200 U. S. 126; Empire State-Idaho Mining & Developing Co. v. Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining Co., 200 U.S. 613; Russell v. Russell, 200 U.S. 613; Bush v. Elliott, 202 U. S. 477; Warder v. Cotton, 207 U.S. 582; Shulthis v. McDougal, 225 U. S. 561.\nThe trustee, for his recovery upon the bond, did not rely upon any right specially conferred upon him under the federal statute which was the subject of controversy, and therefore a ground of jurisdiction. He sued to recover upon the bond solely because of his claim that the 1,311 bales of cotton were at the time of the bankruptcy proceeding, the property of Knight, Yancey & Company. He alleged in the petition that:\n\"Your petitioner further avers that the said 1,311 bales of cotton were, at the time of the bankruptcy proceedings, and have ever since been, the property of Knight, Yancey & Company, and that, as trustee in bankruptcy of the said Knight, Yancey & Company, your petitioner as aforesaid is the owner of and has the right, title, and interest in and to the said 1,311 bales of cotton, and that your petitioner is therefore entitled to proceed against and to demand, collect, and receive the principal sum of the bond filed by the said Th. Ruhne with the said Isidore Newman & Son as surety. . . .\"\nAnd in the amended petition, he again averred:\n\"Your petitioner further avers that the statements in said petition contained with reference to said bills of lading are not true in point of fact, and that the bills of lading for all of said cotton described in the original petition herein, and in the petition in said suit No. 14, 129, were in the possession and under the control of the receivers of Knight, Yancey & Company, bankrupt, and have since come into the possession and are now under the control of your petitioner as trustee of Knight, Yancey & Company, bankrupt, and your petitioner reiterates that the title to all of the cotton described in said original petition was in said Knight, Yancey & Company, bankrupt, and is in said bankrupt estate and in your petitioner as the trustee in bankruptcy of Knight, Yancey & Company, bankrupt.\"\nAnd the circuit court, in determining the character of the action, said:\n\"As this case stood on the original petition, in view of some of the allegations of the petition in the district court referred to, there might have been some doubts as to plaintiff's right to proceed at law; but, considering the supplemental petition whereby the plaintiff has eliminated those pleadings from the instant case and stands solely on his claim of absolute ownership of the cotton, it is clear\nthe action is properly at law. If anything were needed to strengthen this, the statement of plaintiff's counsel in open court that he disavows any intention of claiming a voidable preference against anyone in regard to the shipment of the cotton is sufficient.\"\nIt therefore appears that the action, as outlined in the petition, made the plaintiff's right to recover depend upon the ownership of the property by the bankrupt as its own before the bankruptcy proceeding. The investigation of this question involved only matters of general law, and did not depend upon any right conferred by the Bankruptcy Act upon the trustee.\nThe cases cited by the plaintiff to the effect that actions upon marshal's bonds, etc., under statutes of the United States, gives jurisdiction to the circuit court because they arise under the laws of the United States, are not in point; no more are cases in which this Court has held that the decision of a state court might be reviewed when the construction of the Bankruptcy Act, claimed by a party in interest as a federal right, has been denied. The bond here was not required by any law of the United States. It was permitted to be given that the property might be removed upon the steamer upon which it was about to be carried abroad. Under the allegations of his complaint, the trustee could recover if he could show that the bankrupt owned this property before the bankruptcy proceedings. It is said that this bond could not be recovered upon unless the trustee could show that the property was such as had passed to the trustee, and was liable to execution at the suit of his creditors. But there is nothing in the petition to show any lien upon the property, or any averments which would have prevented its being made the subject of levy by creditors if it was owned by the bankrupt. The fact that such matters might have been brought up by the defendants, or that questions may arise in the subsequent progress of the action which involve laws of\nthe United States, it has frequently been held, does not give jurisdiction. The petition must assert grounds of recovery which involve a controversy concerning such laws.\nIt is also asserted that this case shows not only diversity of citizenship, giving jurisdiction to the circuit court under \u00a7 23 of the Bankruptcy Act, but the bond itself gives consent that the suit may be brought in the circuit court, and that this is an independent ground of jurisdiction. But in this case, diversity of citizenship between the bankrupt and the defendants existed, and no consent was required to enable the plaintiff to sue in the circuit court. Furthermore, the consent provided for in \u00a7 23b certainly was not intended to enlarge the jurisdiction of the circuit courts of the United States so as to give them a jurisdiction which they would not have because of diverse citizenship and a requisite amount in controversy, or by reason of a cause of action arising under the Constitution or laws of the United States. 1 Remington on Bankruptcy \u00a7 1686. Bush v. Elliott, 202 U. S. 477.\nWe reach the conclusion that the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court asserted in the petition in this case rested alone upon diverse citizenship, and therefore, under the Circuit Court of Appeals Act, the case is one of those made final in the circuit court of appeals.",

        "raw_content": "By Asia Lambert\nTwitter: @asiamlambert\nInstagram: @asialambert\nMiss Solange Knowles has graced our ears with her third full length album, A Seat at The Table. Since its release last Friday, she has gained much more of a musical following.\nWhile Solange is most-known for being the little sister to mega star, \u201cQueen Bey\u201d Beyonc\u00e9, she has blossomed into her own, becoming a black fashion icon and a top advocate of the care-free black girl magic movement that has been trending in social media.\nThis new album lets her listeners in on who she is musically, her family, and where her heart, mind, and soul has been while creating it. Knowles teamed up with her husband, Alan Ferguson, for the visuals, and notable producer and musician, Raphael Saddiq, to create the soulful and electric sounds. She also incorporated exerts of an interview with rapper, Master P, and lessons from, her parents Mathew and Tina Knowles. Solange has worked very hard to create an album of emotional release for the black community during this time of problematic police brutality, black stigmas, culture appropriation and modern day racism.\nA fan favorite of the album, \u201cCranes In the Sky\u201d, deals with Knowles\u2019 mental and emotional state, in which, she \u201ctries to keep herself busy\u201d by doing things that distracts her from feeling sad, hurt or depressed. The black community can relate to this feeling of burying sadness as they endure much pain, physically, mentally, and emotionally and still go about their daily lives. This is especially true due to recent killings of innocent black men and women. Also, the black community turns a blind eye to mental illness. \u201cCranes\u201d explores these emotions.\nOn \u201cInterlude: Dad Was Mad\u201d, Father Knowles shares an experience from his early years about being angry about the treatment of black people, which was followed by \u201cMad\u201d featuring Lil Wayne. While hard hitting drums and a soft piano help Solange explain that she has a lot to be mad about, \u201cbut she not allowed to be mad.\u201d Black women can relate to this song as the word is always attached to them. We have to deal with the \u201cmad black women\u201d stereotype. Knowles gives them the okay to be mad.\nMother Knowles teaches us a lesson in \u201cInterlude: Tina Taught Me\u201d, in which, she explains that being proud to be black is not anti-white nor is it reverse racism. Following this statement, Solange commands everyone not to touch her hair in \u201cDon\u2019t Touch My Hair,\u201d something that black women have commanded more than enough times. This goes beyond the hair, she demands that her soul and her black being are also things that she does not want to be touched, bothered or played with. She is speaking on culture appropriation.\n\u201cF.U.B.U.\u201d is a new black anthem. It explains that this music, culture and life is \u201cfor us and by us\u201d exclusively. The Dream lends us a verse, while BJ The Chicago Kid ends the song with soft and soulful rifts and runs reassuring this statement.\nKnowles\u2019 long time sister and friend, Kelly Rowland and Nia Andrews, lend their voices to Knowles in \u201cInterlude: I Got So Much Magic, You Can Have It\u201d an acapella trio remind us that they have so much \u201cblack magic,\u201d. They are top advocate of the care-free black girl magic movement. Throughout the album, Master P tells us his story of his uprising rap career and brand \u201cNo Limit\u201d over some strings, piano and flutes, while paralleling the struggles of being black in America.\n\u201cI think that A Seat At The Table for me is an invitation to allow folks to pull up a chair, get very close and have these hard uncomfortable truths be shared,\u201d says Knowles in an interview with Judnick Mayward and Tina Knowles for Saint Heron. A Seat At The Table is refreshing for the black community and may spark a new trend in R&B music. The album was much needed and a must-hear, according to Apple music.\n\u00ab OP-ED My TU Homecoming Experience\tLuke Cage Overcomes Hardship and Adversity in New Netflix Series \u00bb",

        "title": "Navajo Indian Tribe Lesson Plan | Talking Feather",
        "raw_content": "See Updated Version of Navajo Lesson Plan here.\nNavajo Table of Contents\nThe Navajo: A Concise History\n\u201c\u2026 Further, Vice President Shelly and I, our wives, Speaker Morgan and several delegates among you had the distinct honor of representing the Navajo Nation at the inauguration of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday. As you no doubt saw on television, the record-breaking inauguration shows how President Obama\u2019s election has restored a sense of pride in our country for millions of Americans.\nFor Navajos, this was perhaps the most important election since President Kennedy occupied the Oval Office. Many of us have not felt such a sense of renewed hope and joyful anticipation at the promise of a new President, and we trust that our voices will at last be heard at the top level of government.\nThe Navajo People believe in President Obama\u2019s call for change in our country. His inspiring statement of belief conveys the same thought taught to generations of Navajos that there are no impossibilities in life. Our grandparents have always told us \u201cT\u2019\u00e1\u00e1 h\u00f3 \u00e1j\u00edt\u2019\u00e9eg\u00f3\u2019,\u201d and President Obama\u2019s election shows how true that teaching is and remains. It speaks to Native nations in our determination to do for ourselves, to regain the independence that was lost so long ago, and to hold on to our beloved homelands, languages, sacred songs, ceremonies, and ways of life.\nWhile I believe the heart of the Obama Administration is with us, as always, we must begin by telling others who the Navajo People are, and how we live, that Navajoland is the largest among Native nations, equal in size to the New England states of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Vermont. We need them to know that within the vast space of our homeland are too few employers for our people, thousands of miles of rough dirt roads that are traveled daily, and inadequate means of communication.\nAs other Americans deal with the national financial crisis in their ways, more than half of our families still heat their homes with wood they cut themselves, drink water hauled in barrels in pickup trucks, while many of our students do their homework each night by the light of kerosene and gas lanterns\u2026\nIronically, the Navajo Nation is at the geographic center of the fastest-growing region of the United States. We are at the very crossroads of Albuquerque to the east and Las Vegas to the west, Denver to the north and Phoenix to the south. We are a corridor for energy, for food products, for manufactured goods, and for national defense. Railroad cars and interstate highways carry untold cargo and passengers along our boundaries. Truck stops, depots and train stations just beyond our reach to realize any benefit are laden with prosperity meant for others.\nWe are encircled by more national parks and tourist destinations than anyplace else in the country\u2026\nThe solution for our immediate and long-term needs is economic development. Our people want work, and they need work. More often than not they must leave their homeland to find it. That is not as it should be. If Navajos are to remain on Navajo land so that our children continue to speak our language, live our culture and practice our way of life, we must work on our economic development.\nFor this reason, we are exploring ways to capture tourist dollars. The Navajo Parks and Recreation Department has worked to develop plans for major improvements to our Nation\u2019s existing parks and monuments, The goal is to create well-designed, serviceable park facilities that meet world-wide travelers\u2019 expectations. That, in turn, will provide substantial benefits to the local economy and the Navajo Nation government\u2026\nFurther, on November 19, 2008, the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise opened the Fire\nRock Navajo Casino to overwhelming numbers and unexpected success. Beyond the goal of generating revenue for the Nation is putting Navajos to work.\n\u201c\u2026while revenue projections from various economic and resource development projects are promising, as everyone here is aware the Navajo Nation has been negatively impacted by the national and international financial crisis. The country recently learned that our current recession is more than a year old\u2026\u201d\u2013Navajo President Joe Shirley, Jr., State of The Navajo Nation Address- January 26, 2009 Read full speech Here\n1. What are the teachings that older generations of Navajos have taught their children?\n2. Name three things the Navajo people wish to maintain in their culture.\n3. In paragraph 4 President Shirley states, \u201c\u2026 as always, we must begin by telling others who the Navajo People are, and how we live,\u2026\u201d . Who are the others, and why is it important that they know who the Navajo people are?\n4. Discuss some of the problems facing the Navajo people today. Can you offer reasons why these types of problems still exist in a country as wealthy as the U.S.?\n5. What does president Shirley see as ironic?\n1. The Navajo are a fascinating people with a long and interesting history. Historically they were warriors, known for their intelligence.\n2. During the 17th century the Spaniards controlled New Mexico. This occupancy resulted in the great Pueblo Revolt of 1680, when the Spaniards were forced out of New Mexico. There is no solid documentation of the role the Navajos played in this revolt, however, once the Spaniards retreated, the Navajos gained control of the territory.\n3. In 1694 the Spanish took control of New Mexico again, forcing the Indians in several areas to flee and seek refuge with the Navajos. During the 1700s, disagreements between the Navajo, the Ute and Comanche forced a conciliatory relationship between the Navajo and Spanish, which ended in the 19th century.\n4. In 1818, the Navajo people were split into two groups, the eastern Navajos who wanted peace with the Spaniards, and the western group who did not want peace. At this time New Mexico was under the control of a new Mexican government.\n5. In 1846, the United States gained control of New Mexico. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was created because Mexico lost the war to the U.S.,and so it had to relinquish Texas, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and California. A major part of this land included the Navajo territory. Fort Defiance was built in the heart of Navajo country in 1851, and it was here that military operations occurred against the Navajo people. The open land attracted many white American settlers, and the Navajos were forced to negotiate with the U.S. army for their land and water supply. These intrusions led to small battles between the Navajo and U.S. troops.\n6. In 1863 an attack was made on the fort by the Navajo leader Manuelito and Barboncito a medicine man and war leader. The Navajo almost took control of Fort Defiance but the army had superior gun power. Later, the fort was abandoned due to the Civil War, but commander James Carleton continued the war against the Navajos, who like the Apache, were considered to be a threat to the Army of the West.\n7. During the period of 1863 to 1864 the U.S. war against the Navajo continued. The Navajo were driven from their land by Kit Carson, by destroying their livestock, burning the land, and poisoning the water. One of the reasons was that coal and oil had been discovered on the land. Thousands of Navajo went into hiding in Canyon de Chelly. Carson surrounded the Navajo and moved them to Fort Sumner at Bosque Redondo, New Mexico. This move is known as The Navajo Long Walk. Many recount the atrocities that the Navajo suffered at the hands of the soldiers during this infamous journey.\n8. During World War II, all men including American Indians were required to registered for the draft. Although the Navajos were not allowed to vote, they were expected to serve in the U.S, military. The recruitment of the first Navajo Code Talkers occurred during 1942. The code used Navajo words for the English alphabet and military references.\nFor example the Navajo word for whale was the code for \u201cbattleship\u201d. The Navajo code was invented by the Navajo soldiers. They memorized the code and became radio operators. Since the Navajo language was unwritten, the Japanese were never able to break the code, as they had broken other American codes.\n9. In 1953, the Navajos are granted the right to vote by the state of New Mexico, and other states soon followed. The tribe began publishing the newspaper Navajo Times in Window Rock, Arizona; it is currently a weekly newspaper. In 2008 New Mexico becomes the first state to officially adopt a Navajo textbook, Dine Bizaad Binahoo\u2019aah: Rediscovering the Navajo Language, which is used in language classrooms throughout the New Mexico school districts.\nDirections: The following sentences are from the reading selection you\u2019ve just finished.

Vogel, the commanding general of Amphibious Corps, Pacific Fleet, and his staff.\nJohnston staged tests under simulated combat conditions which demonstrated that Navajos could encode, transmit, and decode a three-line English message in 20 seconds, versus the 30 minutes required by machines at that time.\nThe idea was accepted, with Vogel recommending that the Marines recruit 200 Navajos\u2026As it was determined that phonetically spelling out all military terms letter by letter into words\u2014while in combat\u2014would be too time consuming, some terms, concepts, tactics and instruments of modern warfare were given uniquely formal descriptive nomenclatures in Navajo (the word for \u201cpotato\u201d being used to refer to a hand grenade, or \u201cturtle\u201d to a tank, for example)\u2026 A codebook was developed to teach the many relevant words and concepts to new initiates.

Why was the text never used on the field?\nNavajo Myth-How the World Was Saved\n\u201cWhen the world began, the people lived underground. Far below the surface of the earth, the people dreamed of a light above the ground, and slowly, over many years, they made their way to the sunlight.\nBut once they arrived in the brightness, the people found that life was dangerous. Gigantic birds swept down and seized them. Large animals devoured them. Before long there were only a few people left alive. They crowded together for safety and called to the Holy People for help.\nInstead of sending help directly, the Holy People sent a baby goddess called Red Shell, who, in four days, grew up to be a beautiful girl. She fell in love with a handsome stranger in the forest, and four days later she gave birth to twin sons, Monster-Slayer and Child-of-the-Water. Red Shell could not tell them who their father was, so they set out to find him themselves.\nOn their search they met Spider Woman, who told them that they were children of the Sun and gave them some feathers to help them on their journey. With these feathers they were able to leap over huge walls, free themselves from grasping reeds, and dodge crushing rocks.\nFinally they reached the house of the Sun, which was set in the middle of a vast lake. This time the feathers couldn\u2019t help them cross because the distance was too great.\n\u201cWhy do you want to go to the house of the Sun?\u201d asked an old man standing at the edge of the lake. \u201cHe is our father,\u201d replied the twins. So the old man created a rainbow bridge over the lake for the brothers to cross. The house of the Sun was magnificent. Its walls glowed blue and green and the roof shone a brilliant white. Bravely Monster-Slayer and Child-of-the Water walked in.\nAt first the Sun did not believe that the boys were his children. He tested them by throwing them down a mountainside, but they survived. Then he tried tempting them with rich gifts of gold, turquoise, and shell, but they refused. Then finally he greeted them as his brave sons.\nWhen they told him of the hardships being suffered by their people on Earth, he gave them weapons to fight the monsters and helped them find their way home.\nMonster-Slayer and Child-of-the-Water fought and killed many monsters. Some, like Hunger and Death survived, but from that time on the world was a better place.\u201d\nExercise 1. Vocabulary (Inference)\nDirections: The following sentences are from the story.

My hope is that students will see the native people of this country as workers, students, professionals, parents, and leaders of their communities.\nThe construction of the exercises makes the reading material more of a communicative activity, and helps students better understand the content. There are various pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading tasks for each reading selection. Although the majority of the exercises are suggested for group work, especially during class, students can complete the activities independently as homework assignments. At the following class meeting, their responses can be used as the basis for group discussions. The research activities can also be completed individually or as collaborative group projects.\n(A Concise History)\ndocumentation |\u02ccd\u00e4ky\u0259men\u02c8t\u0101SH\u0259n|-noun-material that provides official information or evidence or that serves as a record: you will have to complete the relevant documentation.\n2. retreated\nretreat |ri\u02c8tr\u0113t| -verb [ no obj. ]-\u2022 move back or withdraw.\nrefuge |\u02c8ref\u02ccyo\u035eoj, -\u02ccyo\u035eoZH|noun-a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble: he was forced to take refuge in the French embassy.\n4. conciliatory\nconciliatory |k\u0259n\u02c8sil\u0113\u0259\u02cct\u00f4r\u0113|-adjective-intended or likely to placate or pacify: a conciliatory approach.\nnegotiate |n\u0259\u02c8g\u014dSH\u0113\u02cc\u0101t|-verb-[ no obj. ] try to reach an agreement or compromise by discussion with others: his government\u2019s willingness to negotiate.\nintrusion |in\u02c8tro\u035eoZH\u0259n|-noun-the action of intruding: he was furious about this intrusion into his private life | unacceptable intrusions of privacy.\ndraft |draft|-noun-(the draft) compulsory recruitment for military service: 25 million men were subject to the draft | [ as modifier ] : draft cards.\nSource: New Oxford American Dictionary\n1.

        "raw_content": "This is how eSports players are trained: training, healthy food and sports\nEsports players are subject to a strict discipline to improve their skills in the game. That\u2019s how the trainings are in an esports team.\nThe esports have increased their level of popularity during the last years getting fill stadiums and thousands of hours of retransmissions in TV and in streaming. Something that to date had only achieved football or specific sports events.\nWe will discover how esports players train to get to the top in this new sports discipline at the hands of a legend in the esports in Spain : Mario \u201d Motroco \u201d Mart\u00ednez , former player in some of the best sports teams in the world. country, former coach of the first Movistar Riders team and current Director of the Movistar Riders Academy .\nThe rise of esports is driving many video game fans to become professional players to compete in national and even international sports tournaments .\nThe way to become a professional player of esports is not simple and, in addition to talent and natural aptitudes, it is necessary a hard training in which, as in any high level sports discipline, not only the skills in the game are trained, but Other aspects such as diet, physical exercise or psychology are also taken into account to achieve the best results in the game.\nThe rise of esports is not coincidence\nEsports are a sector in full expansion and in countries such as South Korea has established itself as one of the most powerful industries related to entertainment.\nAccording to the specialized consultancy SuperData , the esports generated a total of 108,400 million dollars in 2017 in global, of which 760 million dollars correspond exclusively to tournaments and competitions in which the teams of players measure their forces in a virtual battlefield .\nThis high profitability has attracted the attention of many companies related to technology, communications and even traditional sports, and for some years now, a great investment has been made in the creation of new esports teams and in the promotion of tournaments. and esports competitions.\nFrom all this arises the need to create a pool of esports players that ensure a greater level of professionalization of the different disciplines of esports games.\nFrom that need of new talent to supply the teams present in the competitions are born pioneering initiatives like the Movistar Riders Academy , directed by Mario \u201d Motroco \u201d Mart\u00ednez, or the creation of a gymnasium for esports players like the one that has recently inaugurated the chain Duet Fit in Barcelona.\nCan anyone become a sports professional?\nAs in any other sport, the innate talent for the activity to be performed is a condition that greatly facilitates the path to becoming a professional player. But he\u2019s not the only one. With passion, hard work and perseverance any amateur who sets his mind to achieve the goal of becoming a professional player of esports .\nWith this goal in mind, on May 10 the Duet Group inaugurated in Barcelona the first gym for gamers in which, in addition to lifting weights and doing fitness classes, you can also train to become a professional esports player .\nThis esports training project is a pioneer in Europe and, according to those responsible for the inauguration, it will soon expand to some of the 11 sports centers of the group.\nThe project is called eSports Workouts by Duet and according to Daniel Serrano, technical director of the Duet Group, the space dedicated to the esports that has been created within its sports center Duet fit Gl\u00f2ries seeks to democratize the training for esports by joining in a single Space the concept of physical and electronic sports.\nThus, anyone can approach the center to learn from playing at zero to any of the competitive esports games , to perfect and improve their game technique in the face of tournaments, and all while improving physical capabilities and cognitive optimal to develop that sport discipline.\nFor this, the center has enabled a space with several gaming stations on different platforms (PC, PS4, virtual reality and racing simulator) equipped with state-of-the-art technology with which all disciplines of esports are covered.\nIn this space there are personnel specialized in fitness and electronic sports that is in charge of training aspiring esports players to improve their technique in the game, guiding them in physical activities especially aimed at avoiding injuries, improving their resistance to Stress and concentration during games.\nThis pioneering initiative takes the esports rooms of teenagers and about a wider audience and different ages breaking many paradigm shift to discover that the esports are much more than a few kids killing Martians and maybe someday they will become in the Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo of esports.\nTraining and improvement, best in each game\nIn the same line of creation of a pool of esports players, Movistar Riders, one of the main esports teams of our country has started to shoot the Movistar Riders Academy , where a team of professionals led by Mario \u201d Motroco\u201d Mart\u00ednez seeks and promotes the new talent in the esports that will guarantee the future of this discipline in our country.\nWe asked his director about the new academy of the Movistar Riders and this is what he told us: \u201d Usually when we talk about an esports academy, it is usually recognized more as a B team in which players are offered training. that are close to the top.\nFrom Movistar Riders our academy project goes much further. Our goal is to enroll people of any level and receive continuous training in both League of Legends and Clash Royale. Obviously, the selection process is closing as phase progresses, but everyone has access to the training content . \u201c\nThe first and second team of the Movistar Riders is trained in a specialized center located in the cultural multi-space Matadero de Madrid, a high-performance center for esports in line with those used in Olympic sports where players receive exhaustive training . \u201d [The academy] is more like a kind of sports training quarry with which we plan to carry the Movistar Riders flag throughout Spain,\u201d he says .\nPhysical exercise, the key to improve in esports\nAs happens with chess, esports are considered as a sport although, apparently, it is not required to perform extreme physical activity. Nothing is further from the truth, because even in sports as static as chess, chess players can lose a lot of weight during the championships and must take care of their physical form.\nPhysical exercise is one of the secrets of professional esports players to improve their performance during tournaments. Men sana in corpore sano.\nAccording to his experience as a player and professional sports coach, Motroco comments: \u201cThe main advantage offered by physical exercise for a player is his mental health. They spend many hours in front of a computer in a mentally exhausting and quite sedentary exercise. The fact of being able to go out, secrete catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine) and improve their physical form is always beneficial. \u201c\nThat means that esports discipline is not only based on playing for many hours and being good in a specific game, but also, as Daniel Serrano already told us from the sports centers of Grupo Fit, physical exercise is also an important part of the preparation of a professional esports player.\n\u201d I think that the main advantage that physical exercise has for a person who competes in electronic sports is mentally. If you improve the resistance to stress, you can improve your ability to concentrate during the most demanding competitions \u201c, says Motroco\nIn the opinion of the director of the former coach of the Movistar Riders, \u201d it is not necessary to have a level of form as high-competition athletes, but a training that allows them to enjoy optimal health.\u201d\nMental strength to endure the battles\nThe esports are an activity in which a great concentration and mental stability is required to take in each moment the decision that will take to a team to the victory or to the most bitter of the defeats.\nAs happens in other sports, the psychological well-being of players is decisive to make good decisions at the most decisive moments of the games, where players are subjected to a situation of constant stress.\nIn that sense, a physical training and some applied sports psychology give players tools to learn how to manage that tension and function at all times as a team.\nMotroco told us about this: \u201cBoth at an amateur and professional level, the psychological aspect is important, but it is dealt with in a different way. In amateur, many people get frustrated with the game. They must learn to manage the learning process and understand what is behind the mathematical level of the games. At a competitive level it is more complex [..]. The most important thing is to have an attitude of improvement, work as a team, not blame anyone and not get frustrated when things do not work as you would like . \u201c\nFood and esports\nContrary to what can be thought, the diet of professional esports players is not based on hypercaloric snacks and energy drinks. In fact, professional esports teams take great care of their players\u2019 diet so that they can help them to be in the best possible conditions for the competition.\nEven players admit \u201csotto voce\u201d that, although from time to time they like to indulge themselves, maintaining a healthy diet helps them to obtain a good performance in the tournaments.\nOur guest expert tells us that, in effect, taking care of food is an important part of training in esports: \u201d We keep track of the diet of the first and second team players who follow a varied, healthy and balanced diet. For the academy it is more difficult since we can only provide them with food guidelines, but we can not control if they follow them . \u201c\nDevelop values \u200b\u200band personal skills while playing\nThe European Charter of sport specifies that it can be considered as a sport \u201d All forms of physical activities that, through organized participation or not, aim at the expression or improvement of the physical and mental condition, the development of social relationships or the obtaining of results in competition of all levels \u201c .\nEsports have been considered as a sport because it is an activity that meets the definition, including the development of social relationships.\nIn our conversation, Mario told us what values \u200b\u200band personal skills he had developed thanks to his professional career in esports.\n\u201d [\u2026] Being a professional player has been a long journey and a great personal evolution. Thanks to all the experience acquired in different areas I am a more sociable and open minded person. I have perfected my English, I consider myself more empathetic with the people around me and I have strengthened my ability to work as a team. In addition, my time as a coach has helped me to have more patience, to listen and to improve my leadership skills. In addition, there are studies that support that the practice of online games favors the learning of English, since in the end it is your way of relating to other people \u201c.\nMany parents are concerned about the large number of hours that players must spend at the computer or the console and fear that it may have a negative impact on the social development of adolescents who want to compete at a professional level in esports as the interaction is reduced with other people of the same age.\nThe former Movistar Riders coach confirms that the communication between them continues to exist, but now other channels are used to establish it. \u201d When you play online you are connected with other people and, although not physically, you are socializing. Many times players use voice programs to communicate and establish social relationships later, over the years, they get to know each other in person regardless of the part of the country or the world that they are. \u201c\nWhen the players become part of a professional esports team such as the Movistar Riders, they move to the Gaming House , a house they share with the rest of the team, which serves as their headquarters and training place. This coexistence among equals also serves to develop values \u200b\u200bof coexistence and respect among the players themselves. This is what Mario tells us, who has been living together for some years now with some of the best esports players of today .\n\u201d Usually the players are very young kids who have little life experience when it comes to these issues. His comfort zone is the computer and the videogames, but when leaving him and interacting with his peers, they all face situations unknown to them. This undoubtedly makes them grow and evolve as people, but the road is hard and they have to learn to manage their feelings, emotions, empathize with the rest, etc. Many of the players I\u2019ve trained have experienced a huge evolution since they signed up for the club so far, so it\u2019s nice to see that evolution in part. \u201c\nEsports, a hobby with many professional opportunities\nOne of the main families of those who decide to dedicate themselves to esports in a professional manner is their future work, mainly because the average age of esports players is between 17 and 22 years , a decisive moment in the formation of any professional.\nWe have commented with our invited expert about the professional opportunities of the esports players and the job opportunities that await those who decide to start this sports career. Your response has been more than hopeful.\n\u201d The esports are a sector in formation and they are creating a multitude of new labor figures that did not exist before. The most common in sports are usually a coach, analyst, psychologist, manager or part of the staff of the teams . \u201c\nMotroco points out that the knowledge acquired with esports is not only applicable to direct work in the teams, but that around the esports a new and flourishing entertainment industry is being generated that needs experts in esports .\n\u201d [ \u2026] you can devote more to the media and the general public through streams, such as youtuber or influencer. There is also another part of management, both in marketing, organization of events, communication or membership in leagues. Finally, the audiovisual sector is pulling very hard, so the production and realization, photography or anything related to the audiovisual world are a perfect way out, \u201csays Motroco. Undoubtedly a breath of tranquility for those families concerned that one of its members wants to devote to playing with the computer as a professional .\nIt is enough to get a little closer to the world of esports to discover that it is not a matter of a few \u201cfans to kill martians\u201d, but the professional players of esports have had to do a hard job to become part of a team of esports of first level and that, even when they have achieved it, they are subjected to a hard training with which they become even better.\nCareers like those of Mario \u201d Motroco \u201d Mart\u00ednez, professional player of esports, coach of one of the best teams of the current scene and now in charge of the formation of a new pool of players, serve as an example to see a promising future for the esports as an industry in which many players who, probably, are now making their first steps, become stars of the esports . Of course, before they will have to learn how the players of esports are trained .\nPosted in: Apps & Games, Reviews\tTagged: esports players training, This is how eSports players are trained\nPrevious Post: Fortnite is a steamroller that devastates the players of PUBG\nNext Post: The best free games to download in Windows",

        "raw_content": "The Blog / You Asked It: A (Not So) Pregnant Pause\nYou Asked It: A (Not So) Pregnant Pause\nWhy did my doctor do a pregnancy test even though I told her I\u2019m gay and couldn\u2019t be pregnant?\nGreat question! First, it\u2019s good to hear that you\u2019re open and honest with your medical provider. Many people feel uncomfortable coming out to their doctors\u2014even though that\u2019s important information for health care providers to have.\nIt makes sense that you\u2019d feel confused (and maybe even a bit betrayed) that your medical provider wanted to do a pregnancy test AFTER you explained you couldn\u2019t be pregnant. Trust is a really important part of the relationship between patients and their medical providers. Feeling like your medical provider didn\u2019t trust you can\u2019t have felt good.\nThe good news is that your provider\u2019s decision wasn\u2019t personal. Most medical providers do routine pregnancy tests when a patient comes in with any symptoms that could be a sign of pregnancy. This isn\u2019t necessarily because they think you\u2019re pregnant. Pregnancy is very easy to test for\u2014unlike many potential illnesses\u2014so they feel like they might as well rule it out.\nMedical providers also want to test for pregnancy before prescribing any medicine that could affect the fetus. If they didn\u2019t, it could mean serious health consequences for the fetus, and legal consequences for themselves.\nIn addition, many people feel uncomfortable talking about sex. Unfortunately, this means that patients are not always honest with their medical providers\u2014even though sexual health is a really important part of overall health! Plus, abstinence-only sex education leaves many teens uncertain of their own pregnancy risk. As a result, they may not be able to give their medical provider the information they need.\nGoing forward, consider asking your medical provider to explain their decisions to you. This keeps the lines of communication open, and can help you take charge of your own health.\nIf you have more questions about your medical care, you can make a free, confidential appointment at the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center. We provide comprehensive, non-judgmental health care to teens and young adults.\nYou Asked It: Like a Virgin\nSince I'm a lesbian, will I always be a virgin?

        "raw_content": "Visiting Magnolia Market\nThe weekend that we arrived in Dallas, It just so happened that Mike\u2019s parents were also visiting family in Texas. Halfway between where his family lives and Dallas is Waco, the home of Magnolia Market. For those who don\u2019t know what the Magnolia Market is, perhaps you\u2019re more familiar with the show Fixer Upper on HGTV\u2013Magnolia Market is owned by Chip and Joanna Gaines, the personalities on the show. What\u2019s so neat about this place is that rather than tearing old buildings down and/or building a new building, it is built around a historic grain barn, and the silos give It so much character. Also, It has driven a lot of business to the city (or town I should say) of Waco. We arrived around 9 AM and the parking lot was already full! Also, parking is FREE and so is admission!\nMagnolia Market is a shopping complex complete with a shop where you can buy items that Joanna uses to decorate, food trucks with picnic tables, and a lawn area. We really wanted to go to Silos Baking Co., but the line was so long! You also have to stand in line to get into the store, too. My favorite part about Magnolia Market is the garden which has a smaller shop called Magnolia Seed Supply. The beds were filled with flowers and seasonal produce. The garden shop has gardening tools, growing kits, and really neat pots and vessels to use for planting.\nIf you want to visit downtown Waco (there really wasn\u2019t much to It, but I can see that It\u2019s growing!), there is a free trolley that you can hop on. I highly recommend going to Hey Sugar which is a really cute candy store. They have all sorts of candy, ice cream, different flavors of popcorn (I really loved the dill pickle!), and in the back is a wide assortment of sodas!\nWe went on a Saturday, so that\u2019s probably why It was sooo busy and crowded. It was incredibly crowded in the store (and I tend to get a bit claustrophobic in big crowds), so I wasn\u2019t really able to check out all of the neat home items in the store. So I would suggest that, if possible, try going on a weekday. There are also a lot of cute photo ops, but It was really hard with so many people around! We had such a blast! I encourage everyone to check It out!\nPrevious postMacarons of Dallas\nNext postHappy 2nd Wedding Anniversary!",

        "raw_content": "Small government GOP Senate candidate has ties to stimulus\nBy Cameron Joseph - 04/19/14 07:56 AM EDT\nGeorgia Senate candidate David Perdue (R), whose campaign has focused on the need to cut federal spending, is on the board of a company that received millions of dollars from the federal stimulus program.\nPerdue has been on the Alliant Energy Corporation's board of directors since 2001. Since the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act passed in 2009, the company received $3.4 million in stimulus funding.\nThat includes a $3.2 million grant to one of its subsidiaries, Wisconsin Power, for smart grid investment.\nPerdue has touted his business record and understanding of the international economy as a key reason to elect him, highlighting his successes heading Dollar General and Reebok. The personal wealth he's amassed in business has helped fill his campaign coffers, letting him run early ads that have propelled him to the top in many polls.\nBut the details of some of his business dealings could prove problematic as he fights for one of two slots in Georgia's crowded Senate race, and the stimulus is deeply unpopular with Republican primary voters.\nPerdue has been fiercely critical of government overspending, and his call to rein in deficit spending is a cornerstone of his campaign. His website prominently features a national debt clock, and the deficit is the first issue he discusses on both his website and in most campaign speeches.\n\"We have a crushing $17 trillion national debt that is growing larger and larger every day,\" Perdue says on his website. \"And the debt keeps growing because the politicians keep spending.\"\nHe has rarely mentioned the stimulus package itself in his campaign, though a spokesman says he opposes the spending package.\n\"David believes that overall, like most spending by Washington politicians, the stimulus was a waste of taxpayer money that missed its mark while piling on even more debt,\" Perdue spokesman Derrick Dickey told The Hill.\nPerdue's campaign says he was aware of the stimulus grant to Wisconsin Power, but wasn't involved in seeking the funds or in the company's day-to-day management.\n\"A board of directors at a company that size is not involved in granular level operational decision making,\" Dickey said in an email. \"Of course the board has a general awareness of the company's activities, most of which are highlighted in annual and quarterly public reports; however, it does not direct the day-to-day operational decisions.\"\nPerdue's campaign has also attacked President Obama's approach to environmental regulation.\n\"While serving on the advisory board, David has seen firsthand President Obama's shortsighted war on coal and a nonexistent domestic energy plan from Congress,\" Dickey said. \"He understands the high costs of the EPA's aggressive attempt to manage an entire industry through punitive overregulation, especially the unnecessary burden placed on consumers and energy producers.\"\nPerdue has faced increased scrutiny of his extensive business dealings since jumping into the Senate race.\nRecent reports have spotlighted the failure of Pillowtex, a North Carolina company he ran until shortly before it shuttered and laid of thousands, as well as outsourcing done under his watch at Haggar Clothing in the 1990s.\nHe has been paid nearly $1.3 million in directors fees over the dozen years he's been on Alliant's board, according to the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.\nAlliant isn't the only company Perdue is involved with that has received stimulus money, though it's the biggest beneficiary. He's also on the board of directors for Graphic Packaging, Inc., which received a $500,000 stimulus grant.\nPerdue is locked in a hard-fought race for retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss's (R-Ga.) seat. Perdue has held a narrow lead in most polling, with Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) trailing narrowly and former Secretary of State Karen Handel (R) and Reps. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) and Paul Broun (R-Ga.) not far behind.\nPerdue has faced recent criticism for derisive comments he made about Handel lacking a college degree.\nThe top two vote-winners in next month's primary will advance to a runoff, then face off against Democrat Michelle Nunn (D) in the general election. Nunn has been posting huge fundraising numbers and has polled strongly against her potential GOP opponents.\nTags David Perdue Georgia Senate stimulus",

        "raw_content": "Mother, Mirror\tMay 8, 2011\nIf I have come to live here for no other reason, I might consider the insight I\u2019m given by living with my mother close by. While I have tried to discipline myself to see things from the half-full rather than half-empty perspective, my mother reminds me why this is still such a struggle for me. She is, inherently, a seer of the half-empty glass. And fundamentally, I think I may be so too.\n\u201cNancy\u2019s your mother?\u201d people say with great interest. \u201cWhat a great woman! I love Nancy!\u201d they usually say. With too much back story to impart, and knowing it\u2019s not really the point anyway, I usually smile and respond that yes, that\u2019s what they all say. From an outsider\u2019s perspective my mother is one upbeat person whose personality attracts. The same could be said about me too, I suppose. But as with anyone, there\u2019s so much more to the person that is apparent at a first encounter.\nThe only person to ever bear intimate witness to the two sides of the Conant women was my near ex. He was quick to point out how similar I was to her. I would protest \u2013 for the woman I see is always muttering asides to herself under the martyred burden she constantly feels. My mother, when faced with new information, almost always responds with a victim-like disgust. It seems no matter what is offered, she feels it represents an unwelcome challenge and a burden that she herself will ultimately have to carry. And in light of the back story, I get it. Her own father left and began a new family cross town before he\u2019d wrapped things up properly with her mother. This was in a pre divorce-as-common-occurance world. Her father hardly surfaced again in her life. This and more chapters help explain to me, at least, why she reacts as she does. In summary, she feels the world has screwed her, she has to fight for what she does have, and if she doesn\u2019t do something that needs to be done, no one will. Whether she\u2019s made her world fit her truth, or it existed like that in spite of her choices, I can see that many of her suspicions of the world have come true. After all, if she doesn\u2019t work, there will be no bills paid. If she doesn\u2019t make supper, Dad won\u2019t eat. If she doesn\u2019t do the laundry no one will. (Is this not the case for most mothers? I think we all have reasons to see our jobs as invisible and thankless at times.) But if she would just stay her knee-jerk tendency to groan about the prospects before she responded, she might find that things aren\u2019t as doomed as she\u2019s programmed to believe.\nI don\u2019t like to spend too much time in my parent\u2019s house because of the thick and negative energy there. When my mother turns away from us, my father and I share knowing glances and shrug our shoulders in our shared powerlessness as she mutters to herself in the aftermath of what she\u2019s perceived to be some gross wrong that has just been imposed on her. She lives on a vocabulary of passive-aggressive asides. When I try \u2013 sometimes ever so gently, sometimes in the anger of a shameful blowup \u2013 to call her attention to this, she takes it in without protest, but she never seems to hear me, or to get it. My near-ex said that my own negative tendencies (or the \u201cNancy\u201d in me, he\u2019d say) added to his desire to leave me. And to some extent I can understand this, however I\u2019d offered that our situation was different; self-discovery and change was something I embraced, something I actively sought. I\u2019d say we had tools and abilities available to us that our parents didn\u2019t. He wasn\u2019t moved. (His current girlfriend is to the outsider\u2019s perspective a perennially cheery thing who, to me, seems to share some aspects of Betty Boop. Blonde, curly hair, a buxom figure and a super-high speaking voice that might do well in character parts, she is rather the polar opposite of me. Perhaps he needed to get as far away from the shadows of my essence as possible.) My parents are lost in the world of their own creation. At this late date there seems no desire to change. It\u2019s not my business to enlighten them either.\nSo, in an effort to be a half-full person, I don\u2019t try to impose my insights on my mother as a matter of course. Rather I study her. I notice her responses to things, and I reflect on how I might respond to the same. It helps me to see my own habits, and to understand what I\u2019d do well to avoid. Seeing my mother, and how she lives in her own world has helped me to avoid going further down the poor-me path. In that we both share a story of father-leaving-family I can begin to understand how deep her pain goes. It\u2019s a difficult assignment to turn this around, but I\u2019m equipped and ready for the job. To choose up rather than down, possibility rather than hopelessness. I have a few tricks that I employ to help myself to see the reflection without wincing. My near ex once challenged me to replace \u2018no, but\u2019 with \u2018yes, and\u2019. It was a good suggestion; it\u2019s a technique I come back to when I think I need some regulation in my outlook. I also realize that it\u2019s easier to criticize than to complement (why is this and what does this say about we humans?) and so I curb my first reaction to express what\u2019s displeasing, and instead, I offer my gratitude for what is pleasing.\nAnd so I offer my gratitude for my mother and all she\u2019s shown me about the world. I thank her for teaching me all the wonderful secret things that only a mother can. I thank her for the reflection of my own imperfections. I thank her for going before, and I hope that I can serve to resolve some of the issues that she\u2019s labored under for so long. With the mirror of my mother I see who I am, and I begin to learn the things that I may yet become.\n2 Responses to \u201cMother, Mirror\u201d\nReally appreciate your post. As I was reading it I felt almost like I was reading about my own relationship with my Mother. Just yesterday was so frustrated by her extreme negativity and blame tactics. Was feeling very sour about it being Mothers Day. But you\u2019ve helped me to remember that I should learn from her and not fall into the glass half empty world. My glass is half full and I strive to fill it not deplete it. Happy Mothers Day to you, Liz! Thanks so much.\nHi Lorie \u2013 thank you for writing. Not sure if it\u2019s a product of our moms\u2019 era, but a lot\nof us seem to share this predicament. Ride out the tough times, and just know we\u2019ll be\nbetter off for learning from them. Plus, we\u2019ll miss them one day\u2026 My best to you!",

        "raw_content": "Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos Wins Nobel Peace Prize Award 2016. Know About Him\nSource: theguardian | Image Courtesy: bilder2\nThe 2016 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos for his efforts to end his country\u2019s lengthy civil war and bring peace to the land, despite the fact that the peace deal was voted down in a referendum less than a week ago.\nSantos had signed an agreement with FARC rebels (A Marxist group of rebels) to bring an end to the civil war in the country that has been going for over the last five decades resulting to an estimated 260,000 people dead and millions internally displaced. The Nobel committee strongly encourages Santos and FARC leader Timochenko to respect the accord.\nSantos has promised to revive a peace plan even though Colombians, in a referendum on Sunday, narrowly rejected the accord. Many voters considered it was too lenient on the Farc guerrillas.\nSantos will be presented the Nobel Peace Prize, worth 8 million Swedish crowns ($930,000) in Oslo on December 10. In a speech given at United Nations General Assembly, Santos said, \u201cToday we have reasons for hope, there is one less war on the planet.\u201d\nAbout Juan Manuel Santos\nMr Santos was appointed as the defence minister under the former president Alvaro Uribe.\nA number of key military operations were carried under his administration as a defence minister. The military freed kidnapped politician Ingrid Betancourt and three American citizens held by the Farc. The military also launched a bombing raid in neighbouring Ecuador which resulted in the killing of FARC leader Raul Reyes.\nHowever, he was also caught in a controversy after he authorised the bombing of a FARC camp in Ecuador, in 2008, without informing the neighbouring country. Ecuador had accused Colombia of violating its sovereignty.\nIn 2009, he resigned from his post of defence minister and ran for presidential election race in 2010. He was elected as the president of Colombia with one of the highest number of votes in the history of the country. Though everyone thought him to be following Uribe\u2019s footsteps, he surprisingly, normalised relations with Venezuelan government led by Hugo Chavez, an adversary of Uribe. Mr Santos took stern action against those of the previous government who used to abuse their power.\nIn 2012, President Santos confirmed rumours that his government had been holding secret peace negotiations with the FARC in Cuba, hosted by the Communist government in Havana. This led Mr Uribe to become his political rival.\nMr Santos was re-elected as the president of Colombia in 2014. After long-drawn secret negotiations with the Farc rebels, President Santos had announced earlier this year that he would bring \u201ca long-lasting peace\u201d to the country.\nHowever, A majority of the Colombians voted \u2018No\u2019 for this referendum.\nAnnouncement of the 2016 #NobelPrize in Peace https://t.co/pMBPquTF3S\nThere were 376 nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize this year, out of which, 148 were organisations.\nThe Logical Indian congratulates Mr Santos for his diplomacy in bringing the civil war to an end and give peace a chance.\nBengaluru: Class XI Boy Wins International Science Prize, Gets Awarded 2.9 Cr Worth Cash Prize\nPM Modi Awarded Seoul Peace Prize 2018 For \u2018Modinomics\u2019 & Furthering Democracy In India\nTeam From Mumbai Wins The First Prize At Global Robotics Competition\nIndian Scientist Wins Prestigious Dan David Prize For His Contributions To Astronomy",

Even Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan was his student, but he chose a completely different path to fulfill his journey of life. For the last 32 years, Mr. Alok has been in the service of the poor people in Madhya Pradesh.\nMr. Alok holds bachelors and masters degrees from IIT-Delhi. He did his Ph.D. from Houston University in Texas, the U.S. While he was teaching at IIT, he thought he would better contribute to the growth of the society by working with people at grassroots level.\nHe quit his job in 1982 and went to Betul and Hoshangabad districts of Madhya Pradesh. There he started working with the people on the ground.\nHe has planted more than 50,000 trees in Betul district. And in association with the Shramik Adivasi Sangathan, Alok works for the welfare of tribals. He is now living in a remote village called Kochamu with 750 people. The place is devoid of roads and electricity.\nThese days, he goes around villages to collect and distribute seeds at reasonable rates. He is of the strong belief that one can serve the country better only by working at the grassroots level.\nNo one knew about Mr. Alok\u2019s identity for the last 30 years until it recently surfaced because of the election in the district\u2019s Ghoradongari assembly constituency. Unable to trace his background, the Betul district administration grew suspicious of Sagar and ordered him to leave, citing security reasons. It was only then that the former professor revealed his actual qualifications.\nWhile the media always try to highlight the fact that our politicians who are running the country have poor educational qualification, this man has shown that will power is all it takes to do something good.

        "raw_content": "Loitering: New and Collected Essays\nWell, folks, it\u2019s happened. The enduring success of David Mitchell\u2019s The Bone Clocks has pushed the author to a Millions echelon so high that it\u2019s never before been reached. That\u2019s right: Mitchell is now the only author in site history to reach our hallowed Hall of Fame for three (count \u2019em!) different works.\nAnd with The Bone Clocks joining his past works, Cloud Atlas and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, Mitchell\u2019s latest achievement puts him ahead of David Foster Wallace (Infinite Jest,The Pale King), Junot D\u00edaz (The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, This Is How You Lose Her), Stieg Larsson (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet\u2019s Nest), Hilary Mantel (Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies), Jonathan Franzen (The Corrections, Freedom), George Saunders (Tenth of December, Fox 8), and Dave Eggers (Zeitoun, The Circle), each of whom authored two Hall of Fame titles. Maybe this repeated success will be enough to coax him into a Year in Reading 2015 appearance. (ARE YOU LISTENING, PUBLICISTS?)\nJoining this month\u2019s list thanks to The Bone Clocks\u2019s graduation is Kazuo Ishiguro\u2019s latest novel, The Buried Giant. It\u2019s a book \u201cabout war and memory,\u201d wrote Millions staffer Lydia Kiesling in her extremely personal review of the work for this site. \u201cBut it is also about love and memory, and you don\u2019t need to have lived through an atrocity to get it.\u201d\nLastly, I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t point out that our own Emily St. John Mandel\u2019s Station Eleven, which is poised to graduate to our Hall of Fame next month, was the recent winner of The Morning News\u2019s annual Tournament of Books. (It beat out Anthony Doerr\u2019s All the Light We Cannot See, which is also on our Top Ten.) The novel, which has earned the praise of George R. R. Martin, took the final match-up by a score of 15-2, which should be decisive enough to persuade all of you who haven\u2019t yet bought the book to do so immediately.\nJoin us next month as we graduate three books and open the doors for three newcomers. Will they be among the \u201cNear Misses\u201d below, or will they be something new entirely?\nNear Misses: My Struggle: Book 1, To Rise Again at a Decent Hour, An Untamed State, The Paying Guests and The First Bad Man. See Also: Last month\u2019s list.\nWell-Read Women: Portraits of Fiction\u2019s Most Beloved Heroines\nA Highly Unlikely Scenario, or a Neetsa Pizza Employee\u2019s Guide to Saving the World\nJesus\u2019 Son: Stories\nIn order to graduate to our Hall of Fame, books must remain on the Millions Top Ten for more than six months. The feat has only been accomplished by 82 books in the series\u2019s five year history. Within that subset of hallowed tomes, though, eight authors have attained an even higher marker of success: they\u2019ve reached the Hall of Fame more than once. This accomplishment is remarkable for two reasons: 1) the Top Ten typically favors heavily marketed new releases, so it means that these eight authors have more than once produced blockbusters in the past few years; and 2) because Top Ten graduates must remain on our monthly lists for over half a year before ascending to the Hall of Fame, that means their books must be popular enough to have sustained success. (In other words, marketing only gets you far.)\nThe names of these eight authors should be familiar to Millions readers, of course. They belong to some of the most successful writers of the past 25 years: David Foster Wallace* (Infinite Jest, The Pale King), Junot D\u00edaz (The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, This Is How You Lose Her), Stieg Larsson (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet\u2019s Nest), David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet), Hilary Mantel (Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies), Jonathan Franzen (The Corrections, Freedom), George Saunders (Tenth of December, Fox 8), and \u2014 as of this month \u2014 Dave Eggers (Zeitoun, The Circle).\n(*David Foster Wallace has the unique distinction, actually, of having two of his own books in our Hall of Fame in addition to a biography written about him.)\nEven money would seem to indicate that Alice Munro is poised to join this esteemed group next. Her Selected Stories graduated to the Hall of Fame shortly after her Nobel Prize was awarded in 2013, and her collection, The Beggar Maid, has been holding fast ever since. Meanwhile, the surprise re-emergence of Denis Johnson\u2019s Jesus\u2019 Son, which has been hovering at the bottom of the Top Ten lists these past two months, indicates that maybe he\u2019ll reach that group soon as well. His novella, Train Dreams, graduated in August of 2012.\nChanging gears a bit: the lone new addition to our Top Ten this month in the form of Rachel Cantor\u2019s mouthful of a novel, A Highly Unlikely Scenario, or a Neetsa Pizza Employee\u2019s Guide to Saving the World. The book, which was published last month, was featured in our Great 2014 Book Preview, during which time Millions staffer Hannah Gersen posed the eternal question, \u201cIt\u2019s got time travel, medieval kabbalists, and yes, pizza. What more can you ask for?\u201d\nWhat more, indeed?\nNear Misses: Little Failure: A Memoir, Americanah, Stories of Anton Chekhov, My Struggle: Book 1, and Tampa. See Also: Last month\u2019s list.\nDraft Dave: Why Eggers Should Edit The Paris Review\nGarth Risk Hallberg | 19\nIt\u2019s a business-school truism that great leaders make for messy successions. Not only are their shoes hard to fill; no boss likes to contemplate his or her own obsolescence. (Think of Steve Jobs. Hell, think of King Lear.) And though its masthead is more likely to have graduated from Brown than from Wharton, the literary magazine is as subject as any other enterprise to the general principle. William Shawn\u2019s 35-year streak as editor-in-chief of The New Yorker, for example, yielded to the comparatively brief reigns of Robert Gottlieb and Tina Brown. Roger D. Hodge\u2019s tenure at Harper\u2019s, following the second long Lewis H. Lapham regime, lasted all of two years.\nEven amid such tough acts to follow, the case of George Plimpton stands out. As the longtime editor of The Paris Review, Plimpton did the traditional things imposingly well. He charted the magazine\u2019s direction. He developed features. He cultivated and supported good writing. But he also, through his journalistic talents and his presence on the social scene, expanded our idea of what an editor could be: founder, ringmaster, patron, host, impresario, fundraiser, cheerleader, public face, presiding spirit, and living embodiment of the brand. Though slender of frame, he cast a big shadow.\nUpon Plimpton\u2019s death in 2003, Brigid Hughes, then the managing editor, was tapped to lead the magazine. She was soon shown the door (a circumstance which led to the founding of A Public Space, with the help of a cadre of writers and donors loyal to Hughes) and the journalist Philip Gourevitch slotted into the role, somewhat against type. Gourevitch\u2019s Paris Review has been more consistently appealing than one might have expected it to be. (A great reporter does not always a great editor make.) But, given that Gourevitch has been more of a caretaker than a visionary, it was no great surprise to learn in November that he would be stepping down to focus on his own writing\u2026leaving The Paris Review searching for its fourth editor-in-chief in seven years.\nThe good news is that the pool of available talent is probably larger now than it has been in years. I\u2019d happily read a Paris Review run by former Spy editor Kurt Andersen, who writes well, is interested in everything, and seems to have a Rolodex the size of a card catalog. Likewise Dan Menaker. In the wake of Hodge\u2019s departure from Harper\u2019s last month, his name has been thrown around as well. If I was on the search committee, I\u2019d certainly be looking at Keith Gessen, who, though young, is something of a scholar of the little magazine. Or The Paris Review could again try to hire in-house. (Having had a piece edited by Meghan O\u2019Rourke, who pulls double duty with Slate, I\u2019d hire her for just about anything.)\nFinding the next Plimpton, however, is more than a matter of editorial acumen. The Plimptonian editor must be out in the world. She cuts a figure. She makes fireworks, and shoots them off, too. Tina Brown, now of The Daily Beast, and Vanity Fair\u2019s Graydon Carter have certainly learned a thing or two from Plimpton, but the only editor currently working in the world of little magazines who fulfills the polymathic model is Dave Eggers. And so, as absurd as it may sound prima facie, I\u2019d like to propose that Eggers is the best candidate for editorship of The Paris Review. And, somewhat counterintuitively, that hiring him for the job might be as good for Eggers as for the magazine.\nEggers is an entrepreneur of distinction, a gifted fund-raiser, a networker, a talent scout, a celebrity, a philanthropist, and an accomplished graphic designer. Moreover, he has a particular editorial capacity that\u2019s always in rare supply: the capacity for vision. At his first two magazines \u2013 Might and (especially) McSweeney\u2019s \u2013 Eggers helped to distill into literary form the sensibility of those who came of age after The End of History\u2026and before history unceremoniously resumed. Whimsical, highly aestheticized, conspicuously casual, reverent of childhood and its signifiers, bound by the dialectic of irony and sincerity, the style of McSweeney\u2019s has become the style of post-post-Modernism. It is No One Belongs Here More Than You and Everything Here Is The Best Thing Ever, yes, but also American Apparel and Avenue Q, the films of Michel Gondry and the career of Michael Cera. It is vast swaths of Echo Park and the Bay Area and Brooklyn.\nThe first obvious objection, then, to the marriage of Eggers and The Paris Review comes from Eggers\u2019 side of the aisle: he already has a magazine. But the truth is that McSweeney\u2019s (reportedly intended to have a forty-eight issue run, followed by a long hiatus) has, in its middle age, begun to run up against its built-in limitations. One need not slight the magazine itself (the recent \u201cPanorama\u201d issue, a loving tribute to the print newspaper and a manifesto on its behalf, reportedly sold out), or rehearse the whiplash speed at which subculture becomes mainstream, to feel that McSweeney\u2019s some time ago made the move from innovation to institution.\nThe Paris Review, too, is an institution, but one with a broader mission and a broader potential audience \u2013 a place where readers of McSweeney\u2019s, readers of Newsweek, and readers of The New York Review of Books might meet and mingle en masse. And because its appeal is less bound up with youth, it might offer Eggers, now pushing 40, new and different challenges\u2026even as McSweeney\u2019s continued under the able hands that one sort of imagines mostly run it now anyway.\nThe second obstacle to the union is that Eggers, like Gourevitch, is a writer, and writing takes time away from editing. But here, too, Eggers, for all his successes, seems like a man in need of a jolt. His literary talent has always recalled for me David Foster Wallace\u2019s description of the tennis player\u2019s physique: hypertrophied in places and underdeveloped in others. This is true to some extent of all writers, but truer of Eggers than of, say his kind-of contemporary (and sometime collaborator) Zadie Smith. With impressive consistency, his books display visual acuity, inventive turns of phrase, and a fine ear for dialogue. Most importantly, they are full of compassion. But they also betray a countervailing tendency toward solipsism that the home crowd around McSweeney\u2019s has been unable or unwilling to call Eggers on, and that has held him back from being the novelist he seems to aspire to be. Which may be a way of suggesting that Eggers is still in his literary adolescence.\nThis solipsism expresses itself as constraint. There is, on the surface, a kind of airless stylization of the prose, all those floating pronouns and studied flatnesses. More deeply, there is the constraint solipsism imposes on plot and drama \u2013 on the interaction of characters, and thus, on their development. Of Eggers\u2019 longer narrative works, three are more or less nonfiction, one is a rewrite of a children\u2019s book, and two (You Shall Know Our Velocity and Away We Go) are lashed to picaresque conceits that substitute vignette for scene and propulsion for plot.\nMost recently, these two forms of constraint \u2013 micro and macro \u2013 converged in the disappointing novelization, The Wild Things. Max goes to the island. Max does some stuff. Max does some other stuff. Then Max comes home. At no point in the book does Max, or his writer, feel the sense of discovery and possibility we saw in Spike Jonze\u2019s filmed sprint through the trees \u2013 or that marked the finest passages of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.\nThe oddity of this is that Eggers is profoundly interested in other people. His best book overall, to my mind, has been What is the What, based on the story of Sudanese refugee Valentino Achak Deng. (I have not read Zeitoun, which seems to follow a similar strategy in telling the story of a Hurricane Katrina survivor.) This reportorial interest in the wider world is one that The Paris Review could nourish, even as it exposed Eggers to an even wider audience \u2013 one that might be less satisfied with his tics, and more demanding of writing in proportion with his enormous gifts.\nWhether or not Eggers seriously considers throwing his hat into the ring, The Paris Review could certainly benefit from having an editor of his stature. The task that awaits Gourevitch\u2019s replacement may be more daunting than that which awaited him in 2005. In addition to hosting parties, raising funds, tending to the needs of writers, and serving as the public face of The Paris Review, the next editor will have to make the case to readers that, in this era of YouTube and the iPad, the bound literary quarterly is still worth their time and money. That\u2019s a mission Dave Eggers has already proven himself to be committed to. And The Paris Review, for nearly 60 years, has proven its commitment to the kind of great American writing I\u2019d like to see more of from Eggers. Odds are these two commitments will be pursued on parallel tracks. But wouldn\u2019t it be great if they could meet?\nJanuary saw two more books graduate to The Millions Hall of Fame, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and Zeitoun by Dave Eggers. Larsson\u2019s books have been the beneficiary of a surge of interest in the late Swedish writer\u2019s series of thrillers. Eggers\u2019 Zeitoun has won much praise for its nuanced look at one immigrant New Orleanian\u2019s Katrina story.\nNew to the Top Ten list this month is Stoner, a book by John Williams from NYRB Classics. The novel was singled out for praise as part of our Year in Reading series by Millions contributors Patrick and Edan as well as by Conversational Reading\u2019s Scott Esposito. Also debuting is Booker Prize winner Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. The book was also named a finalist recently for a National Book Crtics Circle Award.\nSee Also: Last month\u2019s list\nDecember saw a flurry of activity as four books made their first appearances on the list. Padgett Powell\u2019s The Interrogative Mood, endorsed by both Jonathan Lethem and Rick Moody, caught readers\u2019 interest. Colum McCann\u2019s Let the Great World Spin has been building momentum since its National Book Award win. I also reviewed it here and last month, Reif Larsen wrote glowingly of the book. Our recent interview with superstar translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky clearly got readers interested in their latest effort, a Tolstoy collection. And David Shields\u2019 Year in Reading contribution, while eclectic, nonetheless drew readers\u2019 focus to Gregoire Bouillier\u2019s The Mystery Guest.\nPowered by continued interest in The Millions\u2019 Best of the Millennium series, where the book had a strong showing on both out panel list and our readers\u2019 list, David Mitchell\u2019s Cloud Atlas took over the top spot in the Top Ten.\nAnd finally, dropping from the list were Thomas Pynchon\u2019s Inherent Vice, The Skating Rink by Roberto Bola\u00f1o, The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood, and The Wild Things by Dave Eggers.\nA Year in Reading: Stephen Elliott\nI shouldn\u2019t be answering this question because my answer is the most boring answer in the world because the best book I read this year was 2666 by Roberto Bola\u00f1o. The second best is a book you probably never heard of, We Did Porn by Zak Smith. But it would be a lie to answer anything other than 2666 to this question.\nI know it\u2019s lame to name a book that\u2019s already received such accolades. Still, I wake up thinking about this book. It took me six months to read it. I put it down several times to read other books including Zeitoun, which is also one hell of a runner up, the best thing Dave Eggers has written, I think. One of the weird strengths of this book is that you can put it down and pick it up a month later and not miss a beat.\nBut really, the part about the murders, is there anything like that in literature anywhere? And what about the part about Fate, where you have this page that struck me so hard I typed the whole damn thing out:\nWhat\u2019s sacred to me? thought Fate. The vague pain I feel at the passing of my mother? An understanding of what can\u2019t be fixed? Or the kind of pang in the stomach I feel when I look at this woman? And why do I feel a pang, if that\u2019s what it is, when she looks at me and not when when her friend looks at me? Because her friend is nowhere near as beautiful, thought Fate. Which seems to suggest that what\u2019s sacred to me is beauty, a pretty girl with perfect features. And what if all of a sudden the most beautiful actress in Hollywood appeared in the middle of this big, repulsive restaurant, would I still feel a pang each time my eyes surreptitiously met this girl\u2019s or would the sudden appearance of a superior beauty, a beauty enhanced by recognition, relieve the pang, diminish her beauty to ordinary levels, the beauty of a slightly odd girl out to have a good time on a weekend night with three slightly peculiar men and a woman who basically seems like a hooker? thought Fate. Do I really know enough about Mexican hookers to be able to recognize them at a glance? Do I know anything about innocence or pain? Do I know anything about women? I like to watch videos, thought Fate. I also like to go to the movies. I like to sleep with women. Right now I don\u2019t have a steady girlfriend, but I know what it\u2019s like to have one. Do I see the sacred anywhere? All I register is practical experiences, thought Fate. An emptiness to be filled, a hunger to be satisfied, people to talk to so I can finish my article and get paid. And why do I think the men Rosa Amalfitano is out with are peculiar? What peculiar about them? And why am I so sure that if a Hollywood actress appeared all of a sudden Rosa Amalfitano\u2019s beauty would fade? What if it didn\u2019t? What if it sped up? And what if everything began to accelerate from the instant a Hollywood actress crossed the threshold of El Rey del Taco?\nI wish I could recommend an undiscovered gem, and I am when I say you should read We Did Porn. But 2666 is more than a book, it\u2019s an experience. And if that sounds cliche it\u2019s because it is, but I\u2019m trapped there.\nDave Eggers bookends our list as Zeitoun moves into the top spot and The Wild Things lands at number 10. Jonathan Franzen\u2019s 2001 novel The Corrections hits our list two months after a panel of writers, editors and critics assembled by The Millions named it the Best of the Millennium (So Far). The book joins Cloud Atlas and Austerlitz, which both figured prominently in the series as well. Margaret Atwood\u2019s The Year of the Flood has re-entered the list after falling off last month. And dropping from the list are Felonious Jazz by Bryan Gilmer and Imperial by William T. Vollmann.\nSee Also: Last month\u2019s list.\n10. (tie)\nFelonious Jazz\nDave Eggers lands a second book on our Top Ten with his novelization of the Spike Jonze movie The Wild Things. (Eggers is having similar success on some other distinguished lists.) Here at The Millions, Wild Things was a Most Anticipated book and Emily recent revisited the beloved children\u2019s book that started it all. Also debuting is Austerlitz, the 2001 novel by W.G. Sebald. The book recently landed at #7 in our \u201cBest of the Millennium\u201d series.\nWe didn\u2019t have any new Hall of Fame inductees this month, and falling off the Top Ten were The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood, The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, Future Missionaries of America by Matthew Vollmer, and Netherland by Joseph O\u2019Neill.\nAnd, finally, Inherent Vice and Zeitoun hold on to their top positions.\nAnother Eggers Film?\nJonathan Demme will apparently be adapting Dave Eggers\u2019 Zeitoun as an animated feature for the big screen. (via)\nFuture Missionaries of America\nFour inductees to The Millions Hall of Fame plus gridlock in the tenth spot on our list meant room for plenty of new titles on the list in September.\nGraduating to our Hall of Fame were four illustrious titles, Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot D\u00edaz, Matthew Diffee\u2019s The Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw, and Never Will See, in The New Yorker, and Carl Wilson\u2019s Celine Dion\u2019s Let\u2019s Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste. The former two titles are good examples of our readers\u2019 taste in fiction (Wao in fact won our recent readers\u2019 poll of the best fiction of the decade). The latter two are niche titles that sparked an enduring interest in readers despite relatively minor mentions at The Millions.\nNewly appearing on the list are some recently published titles. Asterios Polyp, which we reviewed not long ago, Margaret Atwood\u2019s The Year of the Flood and William T. Vollmann\u2019s Imperial, which were both on our most recent Most Anticipated list, and Future Missionaries of America by Matthew Vollmer, who was an interviewer and an interviewee for us in June.\nAlso debuting are Cloud Atlas, which emerged as a big favorite in our Best of the Millennium project, and The White Tiger. That one\u2019s a bit of a mystery because we haven\u2019t talked about it much, but it did, of course, win the Booker Prize a year ago.\nFinally, Inherent Vice and Zeitoun hold on to their positions, but there are still several new releases on tap for the fall, so they may be challenged soon for the top spots.\nThe Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw, and Never Will See, in The New Yorker\nThomas Pynchon staged an impressive debut in August, hitting number one in The Millions Top Ten as Inherent Vice hit shelves. Garth, our resident Pynchon expert, shared his thoughts on the post-modern detective story just this week. Also debuting on our list in August is yet another title from Roberto Bola\u00f1o. Out of the gate, The Skating Rink is looking less like a footnote in Bola\u00f1o\u2019s prolific career and more like another Bola\u00f1o masterpiece, receiving impressive notices from the likes of Wyatt Mason in The New York Times (a \u201cshort, exquisite novel\u201c) and Scott Esposito in The Quarterly Conversation (\u201cwell worth your time\u201c). The book was also on our most recent \u201cMost Anticipated Books\u201d list.\nGraduating to our Hall of Fame (after being on our list for 6+ months) are two books that have been surprise Millions favorites. Kitty Burns Florey\u2019s Sister Bernadette\u2019s Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences was the jumping off point for a grammar rodeo that Garth put on analyzing a snippet of a speech by President Obama. The upshot? A Venn diagram of Millions readers and grammar lovers would show quite a lot of overlap, I now suspect. Also newly honored in our Hall of Fame is prizewinner Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout, which inspired Edan to pen her much discussed \u201cMom Book\u201d essay.\nOther notable action: Dave Eggers\u2019 Zeitoun, recently reviewed around here and generally getting outstanding notices, shot to the number two spot in its second month on the list.\nNext month should be quite interesting as we\u2019re poised to have four titles join the Hall of Fame, freeing up room for lots of newcomers.\nNeighbor in a Strange Land\nLacar Musgrove\nIn July, a crowd gathered in the atrium outside of Garden St. Bookshop in New Orleans for an appearance by Dave Eggers. Four years after Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans and books and movies about Katrina started flooding the media, a new Katrina narrative may seem uncalled for, but this one is not. You may not expect a guy who had the audacity to write a memoir of his twenties and call it A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius to be humble, but when he when he entered the room followed by a short, round-faced woman wearing a brown-swirled hijab and her husband, a handsome Syrian man, the humility Eggers exuded rang genuine.\nEggers, addressing a room of around two hundred people, introduced Abdulrahman and Kathy Zeitoun. In his new book, Zeitoun, Eggers chronicles the experience of Abdulrahman, a Syrian immigrant, and his family as they face not only the worst natural disaster in American history but a justice system in which Abdulrahman becomes stranded, rendered helpless and stripped of his identity \u201cas a neighbor, as a countryman, as a human\u201d.\nEggers, rather than reading, held a panel discussion with the couple. With the three of them sitting, Eggers realized, most people in the room would be unable to see them. So, for a good part of the time, the three of them stood. Eggers spoke for a moment before turning the talk over to Kathy, who addressed the room with warmth and confidence. One of the first things out of her mouth was a defense of Islam against \u201cwhat you might see on TV. It\u2019s a very peaceful religion.\u201d Zeitoun (Zey-toon), as people call him because they can\u2019t pronounce his first name, speaks English well, but Kathy did most of the talking as he stood with his hands clasped behind his back, casting his eyes between the floor, the listeners and his wife. As she spoke, Kathy and Zeitoun exchanged looks, and the love between them, the parents of five children, was visible.\nKathy is from Baton Rouge. She converted to Islam when she was nineteen and searching for a religion. \u201cI wanted to be Catholic,\u201d she joked, \u201cbut it takes too long.\u201d Kathy said that by converting to Islam, \u201cyou\u2019re not changing your beliefs, just your religion. Through Islam, I found God.\u201d While Kathy\u2019s journey led her to Islam, Zeitoun\u2019s led him to New Orleans, and where the two met they built their life as a couple committed to their family and working hard to raise their children and run a business: Zeitoun A. Painting Contractor, LLC. In their community, they were loved for their generosity and respected for their honesty and reliability.\nLike Eggers\u2019 previous novel, What is the What, this third person narrative is an epic of survival and the challenges of the immigrant, illuminating the flaws of the American dream even as they are met with optimism and persistence. But Abdulrahman Zeitoun is not a stranger. He is a New Orleanian. His wife begs him to leave the city before, during and after Hurricane Katrina, but he insists on staying behind to help his neighbors, rescuing people trapped in their houses and feeding abandoned dogs. \u201cThis is my family, too,\u201d he says. Zeitoun paddles his canoe around post-Katrina New Orleans, a world made new by flood, accompanied by memories of his childhood in Syria and invigorated by a sense of freedom and purpose. Zeitoun\u2019s odyssey through his own city is paralleled by Kathy\u2019s vigil over the family, not as Penelope in the family home but as a vagabond in a Honda Odyssey, roaming west in search of shelter while she waits for her husband to leave New Orleans.\n\u201cThe dissonance woke him.\u201d This is the last line of Part I, as Zeitoun wakes to the sound of floodwaters rushing past his house from Lake Pontchartrain. In this story, the word dissonance looms large. Zeitoun, although not an outsider, retains the innocence of an immigrant expecting something different from this country. His home becomes strange and the behavior of others sometimes confounds him. \u201cWhy had he said he would come if he did not plan to come?\u2026 He had promised help and he had not kept that promise.\u201d Bewilderment gives way to shock when he is arrested a house he owns and, incredibly, locked in a cell that is more like a cage, surrounded by men with guns and treated as not only a stranger but as an enemy. In a place that he recognizes but that is no longer his home, he is stripped, literally, and then figuratively, of his pride and his rights.\nAcross the world in Istanbul, where I was living and teaching English when the storm hit New Orleans, my students expressed shock at the images they were seeing on television.\u201d The dissonance woke them, too. They said to me \u201cWe can\u2019t believe this is America.\u201d In the atrium, I asked Zeitoun if his experience changed his perception of America. He replied that when he saw so many people left helpless by their government and when he sat in prison being treated worse than a criminal, not knowing why he was being held and denied contact with his family, \u201cI said to myself, this is not America.\u201d\nSpeaking to the crowd in the atrium, Kathy recounted the ordeal in the weeks after the storm when she could not find her husband or any information about him, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. She laughed and gestured with animated hands and face as she conveyed the frustration of explaining to his panicked family in Syria and Spain that she did not know where he was. \u201cIt was like I had lost someone else\u2019s pet.\u201d Billy Sothern, a Louisiana attorney and anti-death penalty advocate, briefly explained the series of legal breakdowns, before and after the storm, that held Zeitoun in prison for weeks without a hearing, without charges and with no way to contact his wife and children. \u201cEven after we knew where he was,\u201d Kathy said, \u201che didn\u2019t know we were looking for him. He thought we had just forgotten about him.\u201d At this comment, Zeitoun cast a sheepish glance at his wife then hung his head for a moment.\nWhen outsiders write about New Orleans, we denizens often find ourselves cringing at things like \u201cgumbo parties.\u201d But New Orleans rendered by Eggers through Zeitoun\u2019s eyes is the New Orleans we know. Zeitoun\u2019s is not the view of an outsider. Through Zeitoun\u2019s eyes, in scenes that alternate beauty and despair, Eggers portrays encounters and events that I recognize as the idiosyncrasies of my city\u2013the kind of place where neighbors know each other, where a prostitute hitches a ride to work in a canoe in the middle of a flood, where people make a party on the roof in a city of apocalyptic destruction.\nThere was one disappointment, however. Towards the end, Eggers gives a one-paragraph history of the state prison in Angola in which, among thousands of facts and stories, he picks a few that offer a narrow and demonized picture of a complex subject. Why was it necessary to point out that one of the crops grown at Angola was cotton? It wasn\u2019t. Such facts, presented in isolation, play on social stereotypes and racial sensitivities to unnecessarily inflame and prejudice a reader. As a person who has actually been inside the gates of Angola (as a guest), I wish that Eggers had looked more deeply into the subject before coloring it with such a wide stroke of ignominy.\nDespite this misstep, this love story and adventure tale is a great read, rendered beautifully in simple prose with a pace that will keep you reading. Heartbreaking at times, the tale of Zeitoun leaves the reader with a hopeful view of a world in which people like the Zeitouns respond to its imperfections not with bitterness but with a desire and an effort to build a better one.\nThe Millions Top Ten: July 2009 \u2013 And Introducing the Hall of Fame\nWe spend plenty of time here on The Millions telling all of you what we\u2019ve been reading, but we are also quite interested in hearing about what you\u2019ve been reading. By looking at our Amazon stats, we can see what books Millions readers have been buying, and we decided it would be fun to use those stats to find out what books have been most popular with our readers in recent months. Below you\u2019ll find our Millions Top Ten list for July. This month we\u2019re also introducing our Hall of Fame. Any book that\u2019s been on our list for six months graduates to the Hall of Fame both to designate those books as all-time favorites of Millions readers and to make room for new books on our list. Our Hall of Fame begins with two inaugural inductees.\nSister Bernadette\u2019s Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences\nGraduating from our list to our Hall of Fame are Roberto Bola\u00f1o\u2019s 2666 and Elaine Dundy\u2019s Dud Avocado, two very worthy books to inaugurate this new feature. Also disappearing from the list are Bola\u00f1o\u2019s The Savage Detectives and Donald Ray Pollock\u2019s Knockemstiff.\nJoining our list for the first time is Dave Eggers\u2019 new book Zeitoun, an immigrant\u2019s story in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina. The book was recently featured on our \u201cMost Anticipated\u201d list. Stieg Larsson\u2019s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is our other debut. The Swedish writer\u2019s series of posthumously published mysteries have gained quite a following in the States. The book\u2019s only appearance on The Millions was to kick off a Book Question piece about \u201cclosed-room mysteries.\u201d Millions readers, if you\u2019ve read Larsson, let us know what you think.\nMeanwhile, Joseph O\u2019Neill returns to our list after appearing on our initial top-ten list at the beginning of the year and then getting bumped off. Maybe President Obama\u2019s mention of the book a few months back is continuing to generate sales.\nMost Anticipated: Rounding Out 2009, An Epic Year for Books\nAt the beginning of the year, we noted that \u201c2009 may be a great year for books.\u201d With the publishing schedule for the remainder of the year filled out, calling 2009 a great year for readers is now a certainty. If anything, 2009 is backloaded, with new titles coming in the second half of the year from legends like Thomas Pynchon and Philip Roth and fan favorites like Lorrie Moore and Jonathan Lethem. A peek into 2010, meanwhile, reveals more literary excitement on tap, with new titles on the way from Jonathan Franzen, Joshua Ferris, and others. Below you\u2019ll find, in chronological order, the titles we\u2019re most looking forward to right now. (Special thanks to the illustrious members of The Millions Facebook group who let us know what they are looking forward to. Not everyone\u2019s suggestions made our list, but we appreciated hearing about all of them.)In July, Dave Eggers continues the trend he started with What is the What, working closely with his subject to produce a work with elements of memoir and non-fiction. In Zeitoun, the subject is Abdulrahman Zeitoun, \u201ca prosperous Syrian-American and father of four,\u201d who lived in New Orleans and disappeared in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. A few weeks ago, The Rumpus ran a long interview with Eggers that touches on Zeitoun, among several other topics. Eggers first encountered Zeitoun when McSweeney\u2019s put out Voices from the Storm, an oral history of Katrina, and he told The Rumpus, \u201cTheir story intrigued me from the start, given that it\u2019s at the intersection of so many issues in recent American life: the debacle of the government response to Katrina, the struggles facing even the most successful immigrants, a judicial system in need of repair, the problem of wrongful conviction, the paranoia wrought by the War on Terror, widespread Islamophobia.\u201d (Scroll down to October for more \u201cAnticipated\u201d action from Eggers.)William T. Vollmann is known for his superhuman writing output, but his forthcoming book Imperial is a monster, even for him. Weighing in at 1,296 pages and carrying a list price of $55, this work of non-fiction is \u201can epic study,\u201d in the words of the publisher, of Imperial County, California along the U.S.-Mexico border. Ed offers quite a bit more discussion of the book. Don\u2019t miss the comments, where it\u2019s said that Vollmann has called the book \u201chis Moby-Dick.\u201dAugust kicks off with what will no doubt be a peculiar literary event, the publication of Thomas Pynchon\u2019s Inherent Vice. It is a rare thing these days when a flurry of media attention centers on someone who has no interest in basking in it. And so, perhaps as Pynchon intends, the focus will be on the book. Inherent Vice promises to be odd. It\u2019s 416 pages, shorter than the typical Pynchon doorstop, and the publisher Penguin, in its catalog, notes that Pynchon is \u201cworking in an unaccustomed genre\u201d this time around. \u201cGenre\u201d seems to be the buzzword here. The book sports neon cover art and follows a private eye (Doc Sportello). The book begins: \u201cShe came along the alley and up the back steps the way she always used to.\u201d Review copies are already out, and the early word is that the novel overlaps somewhat with and bears some similarities to Vineland.Inherent Vice shares a release date with a new book by Richard Russo, That Old Cape Magic, which Entertainment Weekly has already called \u201cvery beach-y.\u201d (Sadly, it appears to have come in last in their poll to determine the \u201cMust book of the summer.\u201d) It sounds like fairly standard \u201csuburban malaise\u201d fare in which a mid-life crisis is endured over the course of the summer, the upside for the reader being that Russo is bringing his considerable skills to the table. PW is fairly tepid on the book, \u201cThough Russo can write gorgeous sentences and some situations are amazingly rendered\u2026 the navel-gazing interior monologues that constitute much of the novel lack the punch of Russo\u2019s earlier work.\u201dOf Roberto Bola\u00f1o\u2019s forthcoming, newly translated novels, Millions contributor Lydia writes: \u201cI almost never know about the hot, up-and-coming items, but I do happen to know about this one, and I feel that, like many readers, my relationship to Bola\u00f1o has been one of breathless anticipation since the moment I first heard his name. Which was like this: at my old job, I was going through the mail. There was a New Directions catalog of aforementioned hot, up-and-coming items. I haven\u2019t historically had a lot of interest in contemporary trade publications, but New Directions has a very warm spot in my heart because I associate it with The Berlin Stories. Anyway, in said mag I read a blurb about Nazi Literature in the Americas, and thought it sounded really neat, and then learned I would have to wait a year to read it, and since then it feels like there\u2019s been a lot of waiting \u2013 sometimes with glorious gratification at the end (2666), sometimes not (Nazi Literature in the Americas, ironically). It\u2019s thrilling that they keep coming! The Skating Rink in August, Monsieur Pain in 2010. It\u2019s like new the James Bond franchise (btw, I\u2019m a Craig, not a Brosnan). I just love having something to look forward to. I hope I don\u2019t wet my pants on the way to the bookstore.\u201d (Bola\u00f1o fans will also be looking out for Melville House\u2019s Bola\u00f1o: The Last Interview And Other Conversations)Dan Chaon\u2019s Await Your Reply returns to the territory of separated siblings (You Remind Me of Me looked at a pair of long-lost brothers.) This time, the focus is on twins, one of whom has been missing for ten years. The book garnered a blurb from Jonathan Franzen, who will appear later in this list and who says of Chaon\u2019s book, \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for somebody to write the essential identity-theft novel, and I\u2019m very glad Dan Chaon\u2019s the one to have done it\u201dLet\u2019s just get this out of the way: In September, you are going to hear a lot about Dan Brown\u2019s The Lost Symbol.More importantly, we\u2019ll get Richard Powers\u2019 follow up to his award-winning novel The Echo Maker. In Generosity: An Enhancement, Powers explores the idea of patenting the human gene for happiness. Last year, Powers wrote about the human genome for GQ. There\u2019s not a lot of info available about this one but Ed Champion writes he \u201cforesee(s) some animosity from the vanilla critics hostile to idea-driven novels,\u201d and Sarah Weinman \u201ctweeted,\u201d \u201cRichard Powers\u2019 new novel Generosity is about as audacious as a novel gets, and has fucked with my head as a reader every which way.\u201dLorrie Moore is set to deliver her first novel in over a decade, A Gate at the Stairs. All those Moore fans out there are faced with a huge dilemma this week. Do they read the \u201cChildcare,\u201d the excerpt of the novel that is the fiction offering in this week\u2019s New Yorker, or do they avoid the magazine and hold out for two more months until the novel comes out? We\u2019ve never been big fans of the New Yorker\u2019s packaging of novel excerpts as short stories, so to all the Moore fans out there, we say \u2013 avert your eyes when you reach page 70 of this week\u2019s issue!Kazuo Ishiguro\u2019s Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall is already out in much of the rest of the English-speaking world. In The Guardian, Christopher Taylor described the book as \u201ca carefully arranged sequence of interlocking stories\u201d and said, \u201cwhile many of the stories hinge on artistic talent \u2013 the risks and unkindnesses associated with it; who\u2019s got it and who hasn\u2019t \u2013 the strong focus on more widespread problems in life makes Nocturnes more than a writer\u2019s thoughts on his job.\u201d The Complete Review rounds up the rest of the early reactions.Pete Dexter returns in September with Spooner. This one sounds like another dark, Southern tale not unlike Paris Trout, the book that first put Dexter on the fiction map. The first line of Spooner is \u201cSpooner was born a few minutes previous to daybreak in the historic, honeysuckled little town of Milledgeville, Georgia, in a make-shift delivery room put together in the waiting area of the medical offices of Dr. Emil Wood.\u201dWe\u2019ll also get a new novel from E.L. Doctorow about a pair of brothers. Homer & Langley is about Homer and Langley Collyer, two famous Manhattan hoarders and recluses, who, after gaining notoriety for their obsessive habits and reportedly booby-trapped home, were found dead in 1947 surrounded by, according to Wikipedia, \u201cover 100 tons of rubbish that they had amassed over several decades.\u201d Newsweek has an excerpt of the book. The novel\u2019s first line is \u201cI\u2019m Homer, the blind brother. I didn\u2019t lose my sight all at once, it was like the movies, a slow fade-out.\u201dDan Brown is no doubt getting serious bank for his return to airport bookshelves and grocery store check-out lines, but he\u2019s not the only one having a great recession. Audrey Niffenegger reportedly took home a $5 million advance for Her Fearful Symmetry, her follow-up to her very popular The Time Traveler\u2019s Wife. Niffenegger describes the book on her website: \u201cThe novel concerns a pair of mirror-image twins, Julia and Valentina Poole\u2026 Julia and Valentina are inseparable, and function almost as one being, although in temperament they are opposites.\u201dAcclaimed novelist Margaret Atwood will have a new novel out in September called The Year of the Flood, which has been described as \u201ca journey to the end of the world.\u201d The Random House catalog, meanwhile, called it a \u201cdystopic masterpiece and a testament to her visionary power.\u201d If that all isn\u2019t intriguing enough, it appears that the book is maybe (or maybe not) the second book in a trilogy that was kicked off with Oryx & Crake. Atwood and her publishers have offered mixed signals on the trilogy question. Quill & Quire looked into the question, and included a quote from Atwood saying, \u201cIt\u2019s not a sequel and it\u2019s not a prequel\u2026 It\u2019s a simultaneouel.\u201d Ah, one of those.In The Anthologist, Nicholson Baker covers well-trod literary ground by focusing on a writer protagonist. However, PW gave the book a starred review, calling it \u201clovely\u201d and saying \u201cBaker pulls off an original and touching story, demonstrating his remarkable writing ability while putting it under a microscope.\u201d Baker\u2019s protagonist is Paul Chowder, who is tasked with writing an introduction for a poet friend\u2019s anthology and delivers the book\u2019s stream of consciousness narration. By all early accounts the book is quite funny and also deeply immersed in poetry, with digressions on a number of history\u2019s great poets. The Simon & Schuster catalog calls the book a \u201cbeguiling love story about poetry.\u201dIt\u2019s my feeling that John Irving\u2019s fiction has fallen off quite a bit in recent years (the last really good read for me was A Son of the Circus), but I still keep an eye on Irving\u2019s new novels for any sign that he has regained his early career mojo. His last several books haven\u2019t tempted me, and it\u2019s probably too early to tell whether the Last Night in Twisted River will. Reading the first sentence of the publisher\u2019s description, we already find a couple of Irving\u2019s authorial tics, New Hampshire and bears: \u201cIn 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable\u2019s girlfriend for a bear.\u201d Don\u2019t be surprised if a wrestler figures into the action somewhere in there. Still, Irving has compared the new book to The Cider House Rules. That\u2019s a good sign.The venerable William Trevor will have a new novel out, Love and Summer.Millions reader Matthew looks forward to Laird Hunt\u2019s Ray of the Star, due in September, \u201cbecause Laird\u2019s novels are fantastic.\u201d Of Kamby Bolongo Mean River by Robert Lopez, he writes \u201cThis is his sophomore novel; his first, Part of the World was bizarre and funny.\u201d He plans to read The Museum of Eterna\u2019s Novel by Macedonio Fernandez (arriving in 2010) \u201cbecause Borges sez so.\u201dOctober is sure to bring Wild Things mania and Dave Eggers is going to be right in the middle of it. He worked with Spike Jonze on the film version of Where the Wild Things Are. And, in what is sure to be the most literary novelization of a film (adapted from a children\u2019s book) ever, an Eggers-penned version of Wild Things is set to hit shelves when the movie comes out. There\u2019s also the fur-covered edition.New Yorker readers have already gotten a taste of Jonathan Lethem\u2019s forthcoming book Chronic City. Of the excerpt, packaged as the story \u201cLostronaut,\u201d I wrote, \u201cThis story was pretty awesome. It was the only speculative fiction to land in The New Yorker this year, not quite making up for the absence of Murakami and Saunders from the magazine\u2019s pages. This story is told in the form of letters from Janice, a \u2018Lostronaut\u2019 aboard some sort of space station, to her \u2018Dearest Chase.\u2019 She and her fellow astronauts are trapped in orbit by Chinese space mines and that\u2019s not even the worst of it for poor Janice. While the premise and epistolary style are intriguing, Janice\u2019s unique, irrepressible voice really carries the story.\u201dReaders are soon set to see the fruits of an ambitious project by R. Crumb, his illustrated Book of Genesis, a surprisingly faithful rendering of the first book of The Bible done in Crumb\u2019s unique style. Crumb talked about the project four years ago with Robert Hughes: \u201cI was fooling around with Adam and Eve one day. Doodling about Adam and Eve. At first I did this satirical take off on Adam and Eve \u2013 lots of jokey asides and Jewish slang because they\u2019re Jewish right? God is Jewish\u2026 Finally I got over fooling around and I realized I just had to tell it straight.\u201dBooker winner A.S. Byatt\u2019s The Children\u2019s Book, according to publisher Knopf\u2019s description, \u201cspans the Victorian era through the World War I years, and centers around a famous children\u2019s book author and the passions, betrayals, and secrets that tear apart the people she loves.\u201d The book is out already in the UK, where a review in the Telegraph included this intriguing aside: \u201cByatt\u2019s publisher is keen to present The Children\u2019s Book, her first novel for seven years, as an equal to Possession, the work that secured her reputation and her mass-market appeal nearly 20 years ago. It certainly compares to its popular predecessor in its daring and scope and, unlike the more cerebral parts of Byatt\u2019s output, is its equivalent in terms of storytelling and readability.\u201dJ.M. Coetzee\u2019s Summertime is a follow up to Boyhood and Youth in Coetzee\u2019s series of memoirs. The NYRB recently published an excerpt.Quite a lot of sub-par material has been published in order to satiate the ravenous demand for Hunter S. Thompson\u2019s writing. Thompson\u2019s essays for ESPN in his later years were uneven at best, but fans may find something to like in The Mutineer, which Simon & Schuster says is \u201cThe highly anticipated final volume of the previously unpublished letters of Hunter S. Thompson, king of Gonzo journalism and one of the greatest literary figures of our time.\u201d Insofar as HST,in his latter years, may have been more entertaining and lucid in his letters, this may put The Mutineer slightly above the low bar set by other recent HST collections. On the other hand, the book is edited by Johnny Depp, implying that the book is more about venerating the cult of HST than unearthing new work on par with his best efforts.November will bring the publication of Michael Lewis\u2019 much anticipated chronicle of the financial crisis, The Big Short. In October last year, when economic uncertainty was at its height and fears were voiced in some rarefied quarters about the possibility of some sort of structural collapse, we wrote, \u201cThe world needs an exhaustive look at what happened in 2008 and why.\u201d There have already been several books about the collapse and what caused it, from The Two Trillion Dollar Meltdown to The Return of Depression Economics and the Crisis of 2008, but many readers have been waiting for a book by Lewis, both because of his long history writing about Wall Street\u2019s excesses and because of the powerful essay he penned on the topic for Portfolio magazine in November. Some readers may be weary of the topic by the time the book comes out, but it\u2019s sure to garner some interest.The great Philip Roth keeps churning out new novels. This year\u2019s offering is The Humbling, Roth\u2019s 30th novel. The publisher copy says \u201cEverything is over for Simon Axler, the protagonist of Philip Roth\u2019s startling new book. One of the leading American stage actors of his generation, now in his sixties, he has lost his magic, his talent, and his assurance.\u201d The NY Times reported that yet another Roth novel, Nemesis, is due in 2010.Jonathan Safran Foer will have a non-fiction book out in November called Eating Animals, which most are guessing focuses on vegetarianism. An interview with Foer at Penguin\u2019s UK website would seem to confirm this. It doesn\u2019t mention the book, but the introduction says \u201cJonathan Safran Foer on why he doesn\u2019t eat anything with parents.\u201dMillions reader Laurie points us to My Bird by Fariba Vafi, translated from Farsi and originally published in Iran in 2002. The publisher Syracuse University Press says: \u201cThe narrator, a housewife and young mother living in a low-income neighborhood in [modern] Tehran\u2026[is] forced to raise [her] children alone and care for her ailing mother\u2026 One of the most acclaimed and best-selling contemporary Iranian writers.\u201d Laurie adds, \u201cThe novel won several literary awards in Iran and, according to a 2005 article in the New York Times, Vafi never attended college and writes when her children are in school.\u201d2010: Probably the most anticipated book of next year will be the The Pale King, a coda to David Foster Wallace\u2019s sadly shortened life as a writer. We already know a fair amount about the book \u2013 it will center on an IRS agent \u2013 and three excerpts have been published already, \u201cGood People\u201d and \u201cWiggle Room\u201d in The New Yorker and \u201cThe Compliance Branch\u201d (pdf) in Harper\u2019s. A piece by D.T. Max went into some detail about The Pale King following DFW\u2019s death. Given the amount work that lies ahead for DFW\u2019s editors, this may be a second half of 2010 release.Also possibly arriving in the second half of 2010 is Jonathan Franzen\u2019s Freedom, which we are just beginning to hear about. The book is the long-awaited follow-up to Franzen\u2019s loved, hated, celebrated, Oprah-snubbing novel of nearly a decade ago, The Corrections. Franzen has been coy about the title \u2013 the book is reportedly called Freedom \u2013 but readers got a taste of what Franzen has in store in \u201cGood Neighbors,\u201d an excerpt that was published in the New Yorker a few weeks ago.Joshua Ferris will follow up his blockbuster debut Then We Came to the End with The Unnamed. The Book Case writes, \u201cThe novel focuses on Tim and Jane Farnsworth, a long-married couple who seem to have it all. But Tim has twice battled a bizarre, inexplicable illness.\u201d Beattie\u2019s Book Blog mentions that the illness is that he \u201ccan\u2019t stop walking.\u201dJohn McPhee has a new book due out called Silk Parachute. McPhee wrote a 1997 Shouts & Murmurs piece called \u201cSilk Parachute\u201d about his elderly mother. It begins \u201cWhen your mother is ninety-nine years old, you have so many memories of her that they tend to overlap, intermingle, and blur.\u201dTime Out NY says Sam Lipsyte\u2019s The Ask is about \u201cMilo, a New York father who is on the brink of economic ruin, and covers themes including but not limited to \u2018work, war, sex, class, race, child-rearing, romantic comedies, Benjamin Franklin, cooking shows on death row, the old-model brain, the commercialization of sadness and the eroticization of chicken wire.'\u201dBritish publisher Faber says Rachel Cusk\u2019s The Bradshaw Variations \u201cis a powerful novel about how our choices and our loves and the family life we build will always be an echo \u2013 a variation \u2013 of a theme played out in our own childhood.\u201dIn the comments or on your own blogs, let us know what books you\u2019re looking forward to.",

        "title": "Is getting fired for what you say on Facebook justified? One company thought so.",
        "raw_content": "Is getting fired for what you say on Facebook justified? One company thought so.\nIn the first case of its kind, an employee was fired as a result of comments they left on Facebook. The comments were aimed at her boss, and the woman at the centre of the case also exchanged comments with other workers, around her original statement. The supervisor found out, and the employee was fired as a result. The legal argument is that her comments would have been protected under labour laws, therefore she shouldn\u2019t have been fired. And in my opinion this seems like a drastic and unjustified course of action by the employer. But this isn\u2019t an isolated case and it presents a difficult and thoroughly modern problem that will be popping up more and more.\nIs it the same as talking down the pub?\nIn your own time, you should be able to say pretty much what you want to your own friends without any risk of being fired. It is your own time, your own context in front of the people you know. The difficulty comes of course, with the fact that what you say down the pub stays down the pub, or else becomes hearsay. When you say something about your boss online then it\u2019s there for everyone to see, including your boss. You have a permanent record of what you said and in this particular case, continuing the conversation with colleagues. And that\u2019s where it gets very difficult. It may be online but in the case of Facebook, you\u2019re still sharing it with your own community. The fact that it gets taken out of context isn\u2019t necessarily fair and highlights the need for a new legal approach to cases like this.\nThe fact is as well that you can\u2019t, or shouldn\u2019t be fired for having an opinion. Saying that you dislike your boss may be uncomfortable for the boss to hear, but should not a sackable offence. But saying something about your boss that could be slanderous, or brings their professional conduct into dispute, is another matter. When this enters the public domain, is it right that you should be liable for what you say, even when it\u2019s in the confines of your own Facebook community? People are certainly learning the hard way. A teacher resigned when a parent saw photos of her with an alcoholic drink, on her Facebook page. Despite not friending students and setting her page to private, the photos were found anyway and following the complaint, the teacher resigned, apparently feeling pressurised to do so.\nThe line between personal and professional\nWe will continue to see cases like this, as we are still working out the lines between personal and professional. If you have a blog, should you disclose that it\u2019s your opinion, not that of your employer? Does the same apply for Twitter and now even Facebook? There are many debates around this and there are no easy answers. For every responsible employee you have, there will always be one that takes it too far and in this example \u2013 could potentially lose you business and damage the reputation of your employer. For every case like this, it makes it all the more difficult to decide where the boundaries should lie. If you decide to run a social profile and create content, then it is ultimately your responsibility to decide what you should and shouldn\u2019t write, and you would hope that a bit of common sense should go a long way. But it comes back to my earlier point that you shouldn\u2019t be fired or disciplined for simply having an opinion. Then you are very much owned by your company in your spare time, and for many this would be completely unacceptable. For the employer that\u2019s having their name dragged through the mud, it\u2019s a different matter.\nIt\u2019s certainly difficult and we\u2019re still figuring out where the boundaries should lie and what is acceptable. If this case does go through, it will set a very important benchmark for future disputes that will inevitably arise between an individual and their employer. If it\u2019s said on Facebook, should it stay on Facebook?\nRead next: Grand new updates to Evernote iOS app cement service's greatness",

The proposals include a cultural center with a 1,600-seat performing arts theater, a conference center that can house 3,000 people, a museum measuring at least 100,000 square feet, and parking.\nMiami Dade College earlier this year received an unsolicited proposal for the Nader Latin American Art Museum from a group of partners that includes Miami art gallery owner Gary Nader and Roberto Rocha, CEO of Sofran Group, which prompted the college to put out a \u201csupplemental information package,\u201d requesting bids.\nOn Jan 19, when the bids were due, only the names of the bidders were released by Miami Dade College:\nGregg Covin Development/Oppenheim Architecture\nNader+Museu | Limited Liability Limited Partnership\nPi Art Tech and Trade Center at MDC, LLC\nNow, the bids have been made public. Here is a look at some of the main points of the each of the four bids, culled from proposals obtained by The Real Deal from Miami Dade College.\nGregg Covin Development and Oppenheim Architecture:\nCovin and Oppenheim\u2019s proposal includes a 57-story tower, with condominiums and office space, as well as a 300-room hotel.\nIn all, the project would include: a Miami Dade College Cultural Center, with a 1,600-seat performing arts theatre; a 3,000-seat conference auditorium; a 100,000-square-foot museum; a 52,000-square-foot Cultural Center outdoor plaza; 75,000 square feet of covered outdoor balconies; 45,000 square feet of retail and restaurant; 300,000 square feet of office space; a 215,000-square-foot boutique hotel, a 40,000-square-foot athletic center and a 37,000-square-foot pool deck.\nGary Nader and his partners have expanded their original proposal, which now includes 238,556 square feet of building space. In addition to the Latin American Art Museum, sculpture garden and performing arts theater, the proposal now includes a restaurant with 16,016 square feet, and two 50-story residential towers with 250 units, each.\nPartners now include Nader; BrasilInvest Development Company; Gernero Revocable Family Trust; architects Nichols Brosch Wurst Wolfe & Assoc.; Roberto Rocha, president and CEO of Sofran Group; contract management firm Special District Services; urban development consulting firm Redevelopment Management Servcies; Jose Rene Infante, founder of Redland Market Village; developer George de Guardiola; Emilio Estefan\u2019s Theater Design Associates; accountant Leonardo Gravier and the non-profit firm Neighbors and Neighbors Association.\nThe partnership proposes to pay the college $40,000 per condo unit sold in the first tower and $60,000 per condo unit sold in the second tower. It will also donate $10 million in \u201cmuseum quality pieces\u201d to the college each year, for a total donation of $60 million, according to the proposal.\nLed by Jorge Brugo, owner and president of Axis Realty Trust, the group includes Axis Realty Trust; Ella Fontanals-Cisneros and her museum CIFO; Diego Costa Peuser; Pinta Miami; Douglas Elliman; World Trade Centers Association; Lausanne, Switzerland-based Richter+Dahl Rocha as design architects; Gala Systems; Fernando Iglesias Molli; Links World Group and attorneys Broad and Cassel.\nThe proposal totals 2.2 million square feet, including an 80-story mixed-use tower rising 1,100 feet high, with 820,000 square feet of offices, 210,000 square feet of condominiums and 68,000 square-feet of retail. And the project\u2019s museum would house the CIFO (Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation).\nAccording to the proposal, the cost of public improvements is estimated at $145 million. \u201cAssuming that the appraisal for the land comes in at a similar value we would favor a straight swap of land to improvements,\u201d the proposal said. \u201cIf there is a divergence then an adjustment would be negotiated.\u201d The total cost is estimated at nearly $1 billion.\nThe Related Group:\nRelated Group proposes a 75-story condominium tower as part of its plan, as well as a 39-story office tower, a 100-room hotel and private club.\nRelated Group\u2019s entity, PRH Investments LLC, includes partners: architects Arquitectonica; construction firm Moriarty; architecture firm Rodriguez and Quiroga Architects Chartered; Fisher Dachs Associates, performing arts space designers; cost consultants Donnell Consultants Inc.; acoustic consultants Jaffe Holden; branding and design agency Lemon Yellow; and law firms Greenberg Traurig and Stearns Weaver.\nThe group proposes its project be named ACME (Art, Culture, Museum Education), to include:\nCultural Center consisting of:\n3,020-seat facility \u201cACME Hall\u201d;\n33,750-square-feet of programmable multi-functional space;\n45,000-square-foot museum facility;\nSculpture Garden \u2013 35,900-square-foot, public rooftop sculpture garden;\nResidential Tower \u2013 75-story tower with 350 condos;\nOffice Tower \u2013 39-story tower with 500,000 leasable square feet;\nArt Hotel \u2013 100-key boutique hotel;\nRestaurant \u2013 9,000-square-foot restaurant;\nCollegiate Club \u2013 10,000-square-foot private club with free memberships available to Miami Dade College faculty and academic leadership.\nRelated\u2019s estimated construction costs are $673.7 million, including $105 million for public improvements. As part of the deal, Related is offering to pay Miami Dade College 10 percent of every dollar of revenue derived from condo sales in excess of $750 per square foot. The firm is projecting sales at $850 per square foot, for an additional $5.3 million of proceeds to the college.\nAs a next step in the selection process, each group will give a presentation to the evaluation committee on March 16, 17 and 18, Roman Martinez, group director of purchasing for Miami Dade College told TRD.\nTags: miami dade college, Miami Dade College Biscayne Boulevard site",

The brash punk rendition of the '80s hit was on that tape, and features White on vocals.\nIn an essay written for Discogs, Blackwell explains how he found the cassette in his basement, declaring that the recording is \u201cthe rarest physical release of a Jack White performance\" and \u201cwas completely undocumented\u201d until now.\nListen to the cover below.\nWhite is currently on tour supporting his latest solo album, Boarding House Reach. Earlier this week, he showed his softer side by bringing his mom onstage during a show in Warsaw, Poland, and sang \u201cSto lat\" \u2014 the Polish birthday song \u2014 with the crowd to celebrate her 88th birthday.",

        "raw_content": "The hours of the lower weight room changed in November to limit access to athletes during specific times, but the hours have changed again to allow athletes and non-athletes to use the area from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.\nLast semester, athletes could use the lower weight room only in the presence of a coach or the strength and conditioning staff, The Simpsonian previously reported.\nStudents saw this as a ban of non-athletes but the changes were made to solve some problems, such as items being stolen from the lower weight room, funding for working studies.\nThe athletic department has reevaluated the hours and opened the weight room back up to all students.\n\u201cAs there has been a recent change in staffing and work study funds are stable, the Athletic Department wishes to notify the general campus community about hours in the lower weight room,\u201d Athletic Director Bob Nutgrass said in a campus-wide email.\nCraig Konrardy was hired this semester as the new strength and conditioning coach and weight room supervisor.\n\u201cWhen I started in January there was what people referred to as a ban on non-athletes using the weight room from 2 to 6 p.m. We opened that back up because not every team was lifting in that time block,\u201d Konrardy said.\nHe has since implemented a schedule to show when the space is reserved for teams posted on the door. This is helpful for students so they can plan their lifting for the week.\nOther changes being made include a sign out sheet for the supply closet so students can check out a piece of equipment and sign it back in when they are finished.\nKonrardy said this makes the equipment room more organized and efficient so that things are not going missing without a record of who to contact or being left in a dorm room on accident.\nJunior Jessie McElderry, a former student-athlete, said that she uses the weight room about 3 times a week. She was happy to see the change because it was difficult to workout last semester with the adjust schedule.\n\u201cIt was inconvenient when I wanted to lift before when I had free time and I had to wait. I would probably have to find another gym if I couldn\u2019t lift in the racks,\u201d McElderry said. \u201cNow that there is a set schedule I know when athletes will be there and I can work around it.\u201d\nMcEderry said she doesn\u2019t often ask for help from the coaches in the weight room, especially being a non-student-athlete.\n\u201cI don\u2019t utilize them because I don\u2019t feel like they are paid to help me,\u201d she said.\nKonrardy has an answer to that issue, \u201cI am here either in my office or lifting and my door is always open. I want everyone to get the most out of this and feel like they are benefiting. Also with the trend in the U.S. and the world with everyone wanting to be healthy and fit we don\u2019t want to limit that opportunity.\u201d\nKonrardy has been more active on the weight room social media pages sharing helpful tips and information for students.\nHe is looking into adding record boards to help motivate and add friendly competition to the weight room. He also is looking for a digital system for lifting programs to decrease printing of individual workouts to help save on paper.\nTags: changes, craig konrardy, jessie mcelderry, weight room, weight room hours",

Let\u2019s take a look at some of the more famous fictional energy drinks:\nBrawndo (Idiocracy)\nOtherwise known as \u2018the thirst mutilator\u2019, this sports drink was being used to irrigate the crops of the United States, before the process actually started destroying farming yields and causing food shortages. Of course, this is about 500 years in the fictional future, so we have nothing to worry about\u2026 for now. Brawndo actually became a legit product for a time, although it was released years after the film, so they kind of missed the cross-promotion possibilities.\nBlue Bronco (The Simpsons)\nAppearing in a handful (at least for the four-fingered Springfielders) of episodes, this energy drink is most prominently featured when teacher Mrs. Krabappel is fired and replaced by hipster Zachary Vaughn. When Bart looks to get Mrs. Krabappel rehired, he plans to spike Zach\u2019s Blue Bronco \u2013 which he refers to as \u201criding the indigo pony\u201d \u2013 only to discover that the new educator already does this, ending with a booze-fuelled rant about hating the children, prior to his firing.\nBooty Sweat (Tropic Thunder)\nEndorsed by rapper-turned-actor Alpa Chino, Booty Sweat comes with the slogan \u201cPop An Ass Open\u201d! As part of the marketing campaign for Tropic Thunder, Booty Sweat was actually released to the public. Not surprisingly, one of the most common places to find the product was at bookstores on college campuses. Throw in a few retail chains, such as Hot Topic and the cherry-flavoured energy booster became a short-term hit.\nTru Blood (True Blood)\nWhile meant to keep vampires alive, without having to draw blood from humans, the \u2018energy drink\u2019 was also a key component in the final seasons of the HBO series, when Tru Blood stock was tainted with the dreaded Hep-V virus. This made it useless to vampires and drove them to need to feed on human plasma to stay alive\u2026 or at least not die for reals. Later, New Blood replaces Tru Blood as the next vampire nourishment supplement.\nButters\u2019 Creamy Goo (South Park)\nWow\u2026 how to approach this entry without losing my blogger\u2019s license. Okay, so to become better Sarcastaball players (don\u2019t have enough word count to explain the sport), the young South Park kids begin ingesting Butters\u2019 Creamy Goo, the newest \u2018sports drink\u2019 on the market. In the end, the adults discover that the product is actually just semen and as usual, Butters ends up grounded. Only in the quiet little mountain town that is South Park!\nMixer Mania #6: All Nighter\nI\u2019ve never been much of an energy drink guy, only dabbling in them when mixing the odd drop shot or other alcoholic beverage. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever had a serving that hasn\u2019t been spiked in some manner and I don\u2019t plan on bucking that trend anytime soon.\nWhen describing this drink to friends, I said that it sounded really neat\u2026 until you added the Energy Drink. But since I used the Tropical-flavoured version of Red Bull, it was pretty tasty. The entire concoction was on the lighter side, but the flavours were all really good.\nPosted in Mixer Mania\t| Tagged All Nighter, Blue Bronco, Booty Sweat, Brawndo, Butters' Creamy Goo, cocktail, Cointreau, Energy Drink, Fictional Energy Drinks, Galliano, Mixer Mania, orange slice, South Park, Strawberry Liqueur, The Simpsons, Tropic Thunder, Tru Blood, True Blood\t| Leave a reply\nNovember 29 \u2013 Three\u2019s Company\nWith Horrible Bosses 2 arriving in theatres, I thought it was the perfect time to look back on some of my favourite comedic trios. They say that three is a crowd, but in these cases, it couldn\u2019t be more comfortable:\n#5: Nick, Dale & Kurt \u2013 Horrible Bosses\nI really enjoyed this movie, which sees a trio of friends decide to kill their respective bosses. Of course, things don\u2019t go as planned and they become embroiled in a web of infidelity, break and enter, and homicide. The sequel sees the cast reunite with Nick, Dale and Kurt starting their own business and having to take drastic measures when competition comes along, trying to crush their operation. Best of all, Jennifer Aniston is back for another spin as the nympho dentist!\n#4: Aqua Teen Hunger Force\nMade up of Frylock, Master Shake, and Meatwad, these three food items started life as crime fighters, but evolved into lazy degenerates. I\u2019m particularly fond of Master Shake and Meatwad, who are complete polar opposites. Master Shake is always looking to con his way into money and babes, while Meatwad is a sweet and caring lad. The do share a low level of intelligence, but that makes things all the more interesting. One thing is for sure, I would hate to be their neighbour Carl.\n#3: Yakko, Wakko & Dot \u2013 Animaniacs\nThis madcap trio of hellraisers were shut away in the Warner Bros. studio lot vault for decades and upon being released, unleashed their manic brand of humour on the world\u2026 whether the world was ready for it or not. Interestingly, the Warner siblings were intended to be ducks, but were changed to dog-like beings in early production. The Warner\u2019s stuck around for 99 episodes of chaotic fun, before disappearing back into their water tower home and leaving the world at peace.\n#2: Phil, Stu & Alan \u2013 The Hangover\nPlayed by Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis, respectively, this movie franchise shows just what can happen when you have a crazy night out in Las Vegas, Bangkok, and just about anywhere in the world. I always felt bad for Doug that he never gets to be part of the adventure. In each of the three movies, he\u2019s pushed to the sidelines\u2026 once, quite literally! In the end, these three guys, who were acquaintances before the franchise, became legit friends thanks to the whole experience.\n#1: The Three Stooges\nComedy just wouldn\u2019t be the same without Larry, Curly, and Moe. Sure, the recent reboot of this franchise might not be great, but the original troupe were legends and have been ripped off and spoofed for decades. The Three Stooges began their iconic career in 1925 as a vaudeville act, before moving onto feature films. Since appearing on TV for the first time in 1958, their shorts have remained a staple of the airwaves to this day, and will make audiences laugh for years to come.\nSuper Saturday Shot Day: Three\u2019s Company\nMyself and Mrs. Sip make up our own triple threat, using an interchangeable member that simply hangs on to the awesomeness of our coattails. Honourable mentions go to Alvin and The Chipmunks; Huey, Dewey, and Louie; the Workaholics; and many more. In researching this article, I had to be very careful not to use the search term \u201cbest threesomes\u201d\u2026 but I used it anyway!\nThis shot tasted pretty good, largely thanks to the Grand Marnier\u2019s delicious orange flavour. I\u2019ll even throw some credit towards the Kahlua. The score was lowered because of the strong taste, something the decent flavours couldn\u2019t make up for.\nPosted in Shots & Shooters\t| Tagged Alvin and The Chipmunks, Animaniacs, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Cognac, Dot, Frylock, Grand Marnier, Horrible Bosses, Kahlua, Master Shake, Meatwad, orange slice, Shooter, shot, The Hangover, The Three Stooges, Three\u2019s Company, Threesomes, Trios, Wakko, Workaholics, Yakko\t| Leave a reply\nIceland \u2013 Northern Lights\nIceland is a fascinating place, full of so many interesting facts, sites, and experiences. If you visit the country, the best way to get around may be to travel the famous Ring Road. Here are some items of note about highway and a listing of some of the things you can see and do along the trek to get the full Icelandic experience:\nKnown as Route 1, this road circles the entire island of Iceland. Stretching 828 miles long, it was only completed in 1974, coincidentally while celebrations for the 1100th anniversary of the country\u2019s settlement were ongoing. Most of the road is paved, but much like other parts of the country, there are stretches that are not. A number of bridges and tunnels link the route and the max speeds are 90 km/h on the paved sections and 80 km/h on the gravel portions.\nIf you\u2019re expecting tons of ice (to live your fantasy of being an Ice Road Trucker), you will likely be disappointed. As the old joke goes, Iceland is green, while Greenland is ice. When Erik the Red set up shop in Greenland and colonized the island, he chose to call it something more appealing, hoping it would cause others to be more likely to settle there, as well.\nWith a couple drivers, you could take advantage of the near 24-hours a day of sunlight available during the summer months. That said, if travelling during the winter, you might get to enjoy the Northern Lights (not just the name of today\u2019s cocktail and a wrestling suplex), more scientifically known as the Aurora Borealis. In winter, there is only four to five hours of sunlight and one portion of the Ring Road is closed, forcing drivers to take a detour along the coast.\nSome parts of the road may wind in odd ways due to construction being done so as to not upset the elves of Icelandic folklore. Hulduf\u00f3lk, as they\u2019re called, have been blamed for bulldozers malfunctioning when working in rock-filled areas, said to be inhabited by elves. The whole concept has created jobs for those claiming to have special powers in negotiating with elves. Sticking with the Hulduf\u00f3lk, you may often see doors painted on rocks or tiny churches, all meant for elves to live comfortably.\nParts of the popular HBO series Game of Thrones have been filmed in Iceland, namely the scenes set at or past the ice wall, guarded by the Night\u2019s Watch, that keeps the wildlings and white walkers from entering the Seven Kingdoms. There is a five day tour that specializes in bringing fans of the show to these areas and allows them to live out their fantasies of snuggling up with Jon Snow.\nOn your journey, you may not come across many people. Two-thirds of the approximately 320,000 population living in Iceland, call the capital city Reykjavik home. If you travel to Iceland, you will enter in and out of Reykjavik, the world\u2019s northernmost capital. You will more likely see vehicles, as the country has one of the highest per capita rates of car ownership across the globe. There is one car for every 1.5 people, necessary because there are no rail lines for transport.\nWhen in search of eats along the Ring Road, you may not find traditional comforts. There are no, I repeat NO McDonalds in Iceland, with the last of three restaurants getting out of Dodge in 2009. Hopefully you\u2019re not a picky eater, as your options may include whale, puffin, harkarl (fermented shark), and skyr (yogurt-like substance). Also, be reminded that things are incredibly expensive in Iceland: Mrs. Sip and I spent $50 on two beers and a small pizza.\nIceland is home to the youngest place on earth. Surtsey Island only appeared from the ocean in 1963, following volcanic eruptions. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Speaking of volcanos, Iceland is one of the most geologically active spots in the world, thanks to 130 volcanoes (although only 40 have erupted in the last 1,000 years), continental plate action, and almost daily mini-earthquakes.\nAs you travel along, you may want to blast some Bj\u00f6rk tunes and if you happen to get pulled over by the fuzz, just remember that they are not allowed to carry guns and will only have a club and pepper spray with them. When stopping for a meal, make sure to enjoy an expensive beer and toast the fact the ban on brews was only lifted in 1989 (March 1 is Beer Day, celebrated across Iceland). You should note that strip clubs have been banned since 2010, so don\u2019t expect to see any Icelandic skin!\nOther attractions you may come across in your travels: glaciers, three of Iceland\u2019s five are the largest in Europe; Icelandic horses, 80,000 of which roam the land and are so unique that other horses are banned from Iceland and once a horse leaves, it is not allowed to return; and geysers; Iceland invented the word when their Great Geysir was discovered in 1294.\nIceland: Northern Lights\n1 oz Brennivin\nIn closing, I must point out that D2: The Mighty Ducks featured everyone\u2019s favourite hockey squad, as Team USA, battling an evil and favoured Iceland unit. All this, despite not one single hockey star having ever come from the nation and the country playing their first international game ever five years after the movie\u2019s release. What do you expect from a film that also included Trinidad and Tobago as a top hockey power!\nBrennivin is described as an unsweetened schnapps and is quite similar to Akvavit. This drink was pretty good, with the strong tastes of the Brennivin and Grapefruit Soda subdued by the always pleasant Amaretto.\nPosted in Crazy & Classic Cocktails\t| Tagged Amaretto, Aurora Borealis, Beer Ban, Bj\u00f6rk, Brennivin, cocktail, D2: The Mighty Ducks, Elves, Game of Thrones, Glaciers, grapefruit soda, Great Geysir, Harkarl, Hulduf\u00f3lk, Ice Road Trucker, Iceland, Icelandic Horses, Jon Snow, Night\u2019s Watch, No McDonalds, Northern Lights, orange slice, Puffin, Ring Road, Route 1, Skyr, Strip Club Ban, Surtsey Island, The Wall, Volcanoes, Whale, White Walkers, Wildlings\t| Leave a reply\nNew Zealand \u2013 Pink Haze\nIsland Inhabitants\nThe Sip Advisor is a huge fan of New Zealand and it is perhaps the place I would choose to live if forced to leave Canada (it may happen one day!). I could become the country\u2019s next big thing\u2026 and there are some serious high profile personalities to contend with. Here are some of the most famous citizens of New Zealand, affectionately known as Kiwis!\nMrs. Sip\u2019s sister (an avid reader) will love me for writing this piece on the kiwi bird, a national icon of New Zealand\u2026 so long as I don\u2019t advocate for the mass consumption of the bird as a delicacy. The video game NewZealand Story focused on the adventures of Tiki, as he tries to save his mate Phee Phee and other friends, who have been abducted by a blue leopard seal. Kiwis live in pairs and mate for life, so Tiki and Phee Phee may have been together 25-50 years.\nAn original bungee jumper and operator of the first commercial set-ups for the extreme sport, Hackett famously jumped off the Eiffel Tower in 1987, helping to popularize the whole concept. He also holds a number of World Records in the discipline. The Sip Advisor is a bungee enthusiast, completing my first jumps where else but New Zealand. I\u2019ve even plunged off the Auckland bridge, dipping into the harbor far below and I have Mr. Hackett to thank for all of my thrills.\nA distant ancestor of one Mrs. Sip, Sir Edmund Hillary was the first person (along with Nepalese guide Tenzing Norgay) to conquer the summit of Mount Everest. Forever grateful to the people of Nepal, Hillary spent a great deal of time there, setting up schools and hospitals to help the Sherpa people, through his Himalayan Trust foundation. The dude was knighted for his achievements, was viewed as New Zealand\u2019s most trusted citizen, and is even on the country\u2019s $5 bill.\nThe director most famous for taking on the Lord of the Rings trilogy and its Hobbit prequel series, Jackson has also worked on such notable films as King Kong and The Adventures of Tintin. Jackson is so fond of his homeland that he chose to bring the filming of the J.R.R. Tolkien books to New Zealand. Mrs. Sip and I visited Hobbiton, as part of a tour stop, but were more interested in grabbing a snack than posing in front of miniaturized doorways!\nXena: Warrior Princess herself, Lucy Lawless was a perfect blend of strong and sexy when she starred in the mythological fantasy series. Lawless went on to appear in a number of other shows and has even launched a successful singing career. She currently has a recurring role on Parks and Recreation as the wife to Mr. Ron Swanson. If he can love her, then she should be in everybody\u2019s good books!\nComprised of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, Flight of the Conchords began as a musical-comedy performance duo before venturing into the TV world together. The boy\u2019s HBO show is extremely funny, with fellow Kiwi Rhys Darby joining in the fun as band manager Murray and Kristen Schaal as their lone fan. Sadly, it only ran for two short seasons, but in that time, they created a number of great songs, including Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor and Hurt Feelings.\nWhile I\u2019m personally not a fan of this young artist\u2019s work, Mrs. Sip can be caught belting out her tunes from time to time, and she should be commended for hitting it big at such an early age. Hopefully, she doesn\u2019t burn out like other teen stars. Born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O\u2019Connor (I can see why she shortened her stage moniker), Lorde\u2019s first hit \u2018Royals\u2019 won her two Grammy Awards and she has enjoyed continued success with the song \u2018Team\u2019.\nThese rowdy New Zealanders were originally known as The Sheepherders, an ultraviolent tandem of brawling wrestlers, before they arrived on the scene of the child friendly World Wrestling Federation and became the goofy, loveable Bushwackers. Luke and Butch were known to do anything to win a match, from lick their opponent\u2019s faces to use each other\u2019s heads in a battering ram maneuver. The team even battled Steve Urkel and Carl Winslow on an episode of Family Matters.\nNew Zealand: Pink Haze\n0.5 oz Blackcurrant Liqueur\nTop with Sauvignon Blanc Wine\nAlso unique to New Zealand is Black Water Rafting, which Mrs. Sip and I participated in while visiting the country in 2008. In this activity, you explore the caves of Waitomo, repelling and ziplining into the dark depths, before floating downstream with vibrant glowworms lighting your route. You finish by scaling a small waterfall before returning to the surface.\nThis drink provided the first chance to use the homemade Grenadine Mrs. Sip and I concocted recently and it was delicious. The Sauvignon Blanc Wine from The Ned is a very interesting vino with a fruity flavour that\u2019s hard to describe, but goes down easy. All in all, the cocktail was quite nice and enjoyable.\nPosted in Wine Cocktails\t| Tagged AJ Hackett, Blackcurrant Liqueur, Bret McKenzie, Bungee Jumping, Edmund Hillary, Flight of the Conchords, grenadine, Hobbiton, Jemaine Clement, Kiwi Bird, Lord of the Rings, Lorde, Lucy Lawless, Mount Everest, New Zealand, NewZealand Story, orange slice, Parks and Recreation, Peter Jackson, Royals, Sauvignon Blanc WIne, Team, Tenzing Norgay, The Hobbit, Xena: Warrior Princess\t| Leave a reply\nScotland \u2013 Macbeth\u2019s Dream\nWhen picking what to write about for our visit to Scotland, golf was an obvious choice. And while there was an abundance of options for a second article, I kept being steered towards fictional characters. Rather than spend a fair bit of time on only one of these individuals, I\u2019ve decided to split my time and cover the gamut of my favourite Scots. Hell, even some of Scotland\u2019s most famous real-life citizens have been largely fictionalized in media portrayals following their deaths. So, let\u2019s take a look at some of these fine fictional figures:\nAn all-time favourite character of the Sip Advisor, Scrooge McDuck can do no wrong. Do you know that he has even invited me over for a swim in his vault? Physics be damned, we had a hell of a time wading through all his gold and jewels. There\u2019s a great DuckTales episode where Scrooge and family return to his native Scotland and Castle McDuck, which is being haunted by druids and a ghost hound. The fictional McDuck has actually been honoured in Glasgow as a famous citizen of the city.\nBraveheart is a wicked awesome movie and can be forgiven for all of the creative license the production took on the real-life version of Scotland\u2019s fight for independence. Wallace (or at least his fictionalized version) is a born leader, who has been wronged too many times by the ruling English. In response, he pulls together an army of like-minded Scots to finally take arms against the English and win back their land. I won\u2019t spoil the story, but let\u2019s just say things could have turned out better.\nBrave centers on this young Scottish princess, who isn\u2019t ready to take on the role she is destined for. She wants to get dirty, ride horses, and shoot her bow and arrow. She certainly doesn\u2019t want to be married off to a boy she\u2019s never met or be responsible for ruling over her subjects. This difference of opinion causes a rift between Merida and her mother and an errant use of magic makes matter worse. Can the curse be reversed in time, restoring peace and order to the Scottish Highlands?\nWithout the advent of ol\u2019 Nessie, I don\u2019t think many people would travel to Loch Ness. While the area looks beautiful, the real drawing power here is the legend of the monster. Similar legends of underwater creatures exist around the world (including the Ogopogo, just a few hours away from the Sip Advisor\u2019s home base), but the Loch Ness version is by far the most famous. To be fair, she was discovered by Mr. Burns on an episode of The Simpsons, so perhaps all the sightings weren\u2019t hoaxes.\nSpeaking of The Simpsons, one of the funniest secondary characters on the show has to be this cynical, downtrodden Scotsman. The often kilt-clad Willie hails from Kirkwall in Orkney, a dispute that had to be settled when both Glasgow and Aberdeen laid claim to the groundskeeper. Much humour is derived from other characters not being able to understand what Willie is saying and also his penchant for ripping his clothes off to reveal a ripped and toned body.\nSticking with the animated world, Shrek may be based off other nationalities (thought to be a stereotype of medieval Hungarians), but his voice is 100% Scottish. The role was originally intended for Bill Murray and later Chris Farley, before Mike Myers joined the project. After watching a rough cut, Myers asked to re-voice the character with a Scottish accent (which he also used as Fat Bastard in the Austin Powers franchise) and the rest is fairytale history.\nThis Shakespearean play (one of the original game of thrones) is based off the real-life King Macbeth of Scotland, although ol\u2019 Billy Shakes takes Macbeth and makes him a regicidal anti-hero, who kills for the role of ruler. Because of his actions, Macbeth\u2019s conscience won\u2019t let him enjoy his ascension and when his wife, Lady Macbeth, goes crazy from guilt \u2013 despite pushing her husband into the whole scheme \u2013 both are tragically dealt with in typical Shakespeare style.\nWhenever Captain Kirk demanded, \u201cBeam me up, Scotty!\u201d he was referring to Montgomery Scott, the engineer of the USS Enterprise. Scott, in the original Star Trek series, was actually played by Canadian, James Doohan, who auditioned for the role using a variety of accents. Creator Gene Roddenberry settled on the Scottish accent, when Doohan explained that the Scots had a storied history of nautical engineering. Ironically, the character was almost completely cut from the series.\nScotland: Macbeth\u2019s Dream\nIn closing, it should be pointed out that the Sip Advisor is actually the greatest fictional character of Scottish descent. Hailing from the Clan Wilson, makers of fine scotch, bagpipes, and kilts, we also took the legend of Rob Roy and turned it into a cocktail!\nI think this recipe ended up being a little too sweet thanks to ingredients like Triple Sec, Amaretto, and the Sugar. That said, it went down easy enough and the Scotch had its typical smoky finish to boot.\nPosted in Martini Recipes\t| Tagged Amaretto, Brave, Braveheart, cocktail, DuckTales, Fat Bastard, Fictional Characters, Groundskeeper Willie, James Doohan, Lady Macbeth, lemon juice, Loch Ness Monster, Macbeth, Macbeth\u2019s Dream, martini, Merida, Mike Myers, Montgomery Scott, Orange Bitters, orange slice, Rob Roy, scotch, Scotland, Scrooge McDuck, Shrek, Star Trek, sugar, The Simpsons, triple sec, William Shakespeare, William Wallace\t| Leave a reply\nCroatia \u2013 Belle of the Ball\nWhile most have heard of Thomas Edison, the same can\u2019t be said for his rival Nikola Tesla. Tesla was born in what is now Croatia in 1856 and the genius inventor created and theorized significantly over his life, but fell into obscurity after dying. Only in recent years, have his achievements gained more recognition with many coming to the conclusion that his alternate current (AC) electricity was in fact better and safer than Edison\u2019s direct current (DC) electricity. So, let\u2019s tune up some AC/DC and learn about the unsung hero:\nTesla once worked for Edison, designing and improving electrical equipment. As he relocated from France to the United States, he was aboard a ship that faced a mutiny and was nearly tossed overboard. Some of his money, luggage, and even his ticket aboard the vessel were stolen. When he arrived in New York City, he had four cents to his name. He must have hid those pennies real well!\nThe beginning of the two men\u2019s rivalry may have occurred when Tesla began redesigning Edison\u2019s motors and generators with the promise of a $50,000 reward. When improvements were made, Edison said he was merely joking, although he did offer a weekly pay raise to Tesla, who quit the job immediately.\nThe War of Currents between Edison and George Westinghouse (who employed Tesla as a consultant and used his alternate current patents and inventions) drove both men to the brink of bankruptcy. The AC current won the war, despite Edison\u2019s smear campaign against Tesla and Westinghouse, using AC to electrocute animals in an attempt to show it as more dangerous and even inadvertently creating the electric chair method of capital punishment. Suck it, Edison!\nLegends persist that Tesla and Edison were to be co-winners of the 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics, but one or both of them refused the honour thanks to their bitter hatred of each other. Some even say that Edison, who had grown wealthy thanks to his inventions, balked at the reward just to make sure Tesla didn\u2019t receive any prize money.\nBecause of his Eastern European ethnicity and some of his concepts and inventions, Tesla gained a reputation as a mad scientist and a number of conspiracy theories center on the inventor, such as UFO and occult related notions. Some of Tesla\u2019s papers are still classified by the U.S. government and when asked for through Freedom of Information requests, are heavily censored.\nA hero of super villains everywhere, Tesla claimed to have invented a death ray, dubbed \u2018Teleforce.\u2019 Known as a \u201cdirected-energy weapon\u201d or even a \u201cpeace ray,\u201d Tesla insisted he had built and tested the device. When he grew suspicious of spies and other officials trying to steal the plans from him, he revealed that the entire blueprint was in his mind and had never been drawn out on paper.\nDespite all the rumours, Tesla had over 700 patents to his name and can be credited with work in robotics, radar, wireless communication, lighting, and so much more. Tesla was also a showman and often invited the press to his birthday party, where he would unveil new creations and discuss his various theories. Among his greatest inventions was the Tesla Coil, which allowed the transmission of electrical energy without wires.\nAs it is with most brilliant people, Tesla had some quirks. He claimed to only need two hours sleep each night (although he napped, as well) and had some issues with obsessive compulsive disorder, including the cleaning of cutlery and a fascination with the number three, going so far as to wash his hands three times in a row and walk around a building thrice before entering.\nSounding like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory, Tesla denounced marriage and sex, stating \u201cI do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.\u201d At least he didn\u2019t use Sheldon\u2019s term of coitus when he believed that getting down with his bad self would take away from his scientific achievements. Hey, the guy did create remote control, radio, and even lasers, so perhaps he was onto something.\nOne thing I can certainly fault Tesla for (I mean, aside from his anti-sex agenda) was his affection for pigeons. I\u2019ve written numerous times about my disdain for the winged rats, but Tesla would go so far as to rescue injured pigeons and bring them home. He even fell in love with one, writing \u201cI loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.\u201d Now, that, my little sippers, is a prime example of eccentricity!\nTesla passed away in 1943, with little to no fortune, unlike his contemporaries, Edison and Westinghouse. After dying, Tesla was cremated with his ashes being placed in a golden sphere urn, as the sphere was his favourite shape (despite reportedly hating round jewelry like pearls and even going so far as to not speak to women who wore them). The urn is on display at the Nikola Tesla museum in Belgrade, Serbia.\nPosthumous honours for the scientist include the unit of measure for magnetic field strength being known as a \u201ctesla\u201d and an electric car company, Tesla Motors, being named in memory of the inventor. Best of all, he now has a Sip Advisor article dedicated to his work!\nCroatia: Belle of the Ball\n0.5 oz Rakija\nI\u2019ve become interested in Tesla in recent years and it seems I\u2019m not alone, as others become recognizant of the fact that his contributions to the world went largely uncelebrated compared to some of his partners and adversaries. This drink is made in his honour!\nThis cocktail is pretty good\u2026 until that damn Campari bitter aftertaste kicks in and dominates the whole experience. The Rakija is pretty strong too, but not in a necessarily bad way. The cocktail measurements don\u2019t provide a big drink, so it\u2019s not like you\u2019re dedicating a lot of time to it. Give it a shot if you\u2019re curious, but it might be one recipe to avoid.\nPosted in Crazy & Classic Cocktails\t| Tagged Alternate Current, Angostura Bitters, Belle of the Ball, Big Bang Theory, Campari, cocktail, Conspiracy Theory, Croatia, Death Ray, Direct Current, Electric Chair, George Westinghouse, Irish Creme, Jagermeister, Lasers, Mad Scientist, Nikola Tesla, Nobel Prize, orange slice, Radio, Rakija, Remote Control, Sheldon Cooper, Teleforce, Tesla Motors, Thomas Edison\t| Leave a reply",

Machines are taking over tasks which are too boring or too dangerous for humans. There are systems programmed to serve us in household chores and also the ones that could perform fire-fighting or provide security. Technology is touching every aspect of our lives. Although there are tremendous reasons to be excited about innovative developments in this field, experts do warn us to be careful with it. While physicists recommend moving cautiously with autonomous weapon systems, an expert has stated that future AI systems are likely to take up about half the jobs in the US. But the changes that artificial intelligence is about to bring along are definitely something to look forward to. Here are some of the ways in which AI is transforming our lives:\nWe\u2019ll be able to use programmable robotic vacuum cleaners that can move around hurdles like furniture, pets or stairs. These intelligent robots are capable of cleaning, dishwashing or even looking after your pets. AI will also assist in some dangerous activities like handling radioactive materials, fire-fighting and mining etc.\nRobots are being programmed to reduce the effects of pollution. They will help clean the environment with their ability to distinguish between pollutants and biological organisms. This way our ecosystem will be safe from hazardous waste as the microbes can consume the waste products. Smart software will detect pollutants and harmful gases before they come out of factories.\nWeather prediction is a complicated process as it requires dealing with large volumes of data. The artificial intelligence software will be able to analyze this data to give a clearer picture of weather conditions and warn us before a disaster occurs. It will also help with air safety and preventing forest fires.\nDriverless cars are about to be seen on the roads. These systems can generate a detailed 3D map of the vehicle\u2019s surroundings. These maps are combined with world maps which will produce data models that enable them to drive themselves.\nAI can aid in protecting us from terrorist attacks and burglaries. The AI technology provides virtual smart agents, software monitoring systems that can track communications and detect potential threats and home alarm systems that could recognize people.\nAutonomous land rovers have been successful in collecting data from Martian surface where the conditions are absolutely inhospitable for human exploration. These vehicles are smart enough to move around obstacles and find a safe path to travel.\nAI can be incorporated into medicine to protect diseases. Artificial muscles are able to imitate real muscles. Smart devices can tell fake pills from medicines. Robotic surgery assistants can assist surgeons in handing instruments. AI software can even detect changes in the health records of patients.\nThe innovative advancements made in the field of Artificial Intelligence are about to make our lives much more interesting. Developers are finding new ways to incorporate them into education and learning, assisting people with learning disabilities. This technology will also benefit elderly or handicapped people. AI has an immense potential to be incorporated into our day-to-day lives, we\u2019ll just have to explore its possibilities.\nPrevious The Success of WebEngage Has a Lot to Teach\nNext Best Collaboration Tool for small business Product Review \u2013 BitBase",

        "raw_content": "Puerto Princesa is the gateway to Palawan lying directly in the heart of the island. The city is not only the seat of the government as well as the heart of commerce, trade and industry for the whole island as well as the home of the islands major airport; Puerto Princesa itself is a tourist destination with its famous underground river tour and Island Hopping at Honda Bay leading the way among other activities.\nPuerto Princesa Attractions\nIsland Hopping & Snorkeling: Spending at least one day island hopping around Honda Bay is always a popular choice for visitors to Puerto Princesa. The water is clean and there are some beautiful places they boat stops for swimming and snorkeling.\nEven though it\u2019s not El Nido, Puerto Princesa has some very nice beaches in Honda Bay.\nUnderground River: This is probably the most famous attraction for Puerto Princesa and one of the most famous also for all of Palawan. The caves themselves are world heritage sites and have been featured in all major travel magazines. You sit on a boat as a guide paddles you through over a kilometer of rock formations. It is impossible not to appreciate the beauty of nature. The guides will help to point out the coolest rock formations. There is a certain sense of magic and romance as you travel through with the spot lights lighting the way.\nUgong Rock: About an hour outside Puerto Princesa, Ugon rock is a 75 foot high limestone formation where visitors can climb and explore the various caves. From the top, one can zipline down a 380 meter zipline.\nDiving at Tubbataha Reef: If you visit in the months of March through June, you have the chance to get in some of the best diving in the country with stunning fish and reefs in what could be one of the few remaining virgin dive spots in the world. This is one of Asia\u2019s last guaranteed shark dive spots where divers will commonly see white tip sharks. Leopard, silver tip, nurse, grey reef, hammer head sharks are also often seen in the area along with mantas and whale sharks. Many divers report seeing tons of sharks along with giant turtles when diving at Tubbataha.\nSabang X Zipline: This is a zip line that runs above the water and along the walk you can check out the monkeys living in the trees. It\u2019s a great thing to do after completing your underground cave experience.

        "title": "Why Is Targeted Data Theft on the Increase? | News",
        "raw_content": "Home > Industry News > Why Is Targeted Data Theft on the Increase?\n29 Jul Why Is Targeted Data Theft on the Increase?\nIn the seedy underbelly of the dark web, stolen data is being exchanged for a surprising amount of money. Credit card details, bank records, social media account information, and even medical records now change hands at an unprecedented pace. As well as the people data theft affects, many organisations are spending vast sums of money to recover lost records, and that\u2019s before they count the intangible costs incurred through lost customers and negative press coverage.\nHorrifyingly, data theft is increasing by leaps and bounds. Cases are up 26% in the last 12 months, and that\u2019s after an increase of 23% in the 12 months prior to that. Worse still is that 47% of breaches in an IBM study of data theft are malicious, targeted, criminal attacks.\nSo what is driving this and what can you do about it?\nCustomer Records in the Cloud\nThis is a simple fact of the online world, and it goes without saying that there are vulnerabilities inherent in this. From credit card details to loyalty cards, the information your customers provide is likely to be sitting on a cloud server.\nIn spite of the admirable security efforts of many organisations providing cloud software, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) still holds data theft as the number one risk associated with virtual environments. The conundrum here is that businesses become less agile when they use more than one virtual supplier, but also can expose their customers\u2019 data to attack by keeping their eggs in one basket.\nThe only way around this is to be scrupulous in who you choose to provide your Cloud software.\nTrading Criminal Secrets\nYou wouldn\u2019t think that the underworld shares trade secrets, but that\u2019s exactly what they do when it comes to data theft techniques.\nMalware is constantly being developed, hackers are growing increasingly sophisticated, and criminal collaboration is rife. Organised crime syndicates pay malware developers and hackers handsomely for their skills, and this is resulting in stealthier malware that can remain undetected on even the most sophisticated of organisational systems.\nFor all the talk of how the economy is getting better, there are a lot of employees who aren\u2019t seeing the dividends. Against this backdrop of austerity and increased negative rhetoric, your willingness to provide remote access software to each and every employee can create a perfect storm where data theft is simply too tempting to resist.\nCorporate fraud has risen at all levels, so be vigilant when it comes to watching your employees and scrupulous about who you offer remote access. See remote access as a privilege that your employees must earn and only hand it to those you trust.\nOld School Methods in Action\nIn 2013, customers of US retail giant Target were rocked by a data theft attack that was carried out with military precision. Although Target have been less than forthcoming with details, it appears that their multi-million dollar anti-hacking operation, which includes security monitoring from teams in Bangalore and Minneapolis, was no match for a crudely devised chunk of exfiltration software placed on their security and payments system.\nThe end result was one of the most successful card skimming scams in history, netting 40 million card numbers and 70 million pieces of personal information from 1,797 stores. When Target\u2019s million pound anti-malware software was scrutinised, it showed that it had detected the attack and informed Bangalore, who in turn informed Minneapolis.\nHowever, somewhere in the line of communication, things went awry. While Forbes suggests that customer numbers to Target have remained undamaged, they still had to face 90 lawsuits from customers and banks for negligence and damages.\nData theft is here to stay with annual figures making it obvious that it\u2019s only going to get worse. While it\u2019s tempting to point the finger at anti-malware software, cloud computing, and remote access technology, the onus truly relies on your organisation\u2019s ability to be vigilant and scrupulous when choosing cloud providers and security personnel.\nFurthermore, monitoring the online actions of staff members, investigating any anomalies or red flags, and being intelligent around those who can access your data is now essential. The criminals aren\u2019t going anywhere. Your job is to make sure they don\u2019t come for you.\nFor more information about how Tricostar can help you to keep your business\u2019s data secure, please call 0208 292 2660 or contact us online.",

Emily Wither reports.\nTurkey's local director of Amnesty international and five other human rights activists have been remanded in custody in Istanbul. They stand accused of belonging to a terrorist organisation. The director, Idil Eser, was one of a group of activists, including a German and a Swedish national, detained on July 5. They were attending a workshop on digital security and information management near the city. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has called their meeting a continuation of last year's attempted coup. Amnesty International says it's clear truth and justice have become \"total strangers\" in Turkey. Speaking outside the court, Andrew Gardner, from the human rights group, says it's a warning to everyone that they're no longer safe: (SOUNDBITE) (Turkey) RESEARCHER AT AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL TURKEY, ANDREW GARDNER SAYING: \"It is essentially criminalising all the work we do. It is not just a threat against these 10 individuals but it's a threat against all of us, the human rights movement in Turkey. It is a very dark day for the Turkish justice system. It is again proved that the law is not being followed.\" The arrests come a month after the group's local board chairman was also detained on the same charge. It's all part of a sweeping crackdown triggered by last July's failed coup that's seen more than 50,000 people detained. The authorities say the arrests are necessary to ensure national security.",

        "raw_content": "SBSTA 4 to SBSTA 19\nAn approach for estimating the net CO2 emissions from forest harvesting and wood products was forwarded to the IPCC Plenary in 1996, as part of the Revised 1996 Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories. The IPCC Plenary then requested further technical work on approaches for estimating emissions from harvested wood products (HWP) and sought guidance from the SBSTA on policy implications. SBSTA 4 (FCCC/SBSTA/1996/20, paragraph 33) welcomed the convening by the IPCC of an expert meeting that evaluated approaches for estimating net emissions of CO2 from forest harvesting and wood products. It was at SBSTA 11 that Parties started to consider the methodological issues relating to forest harvesting and wood products (FCCC/SBSTA/1999/14, paragraphs 66 and 69). Parties provided their views on approaches for estimating and accounting for emissions of CO2 from forest harvesting and wood products, taking into account the outcome of the IPCC expert meeting.\nAt its fourteenth session (FCCC/SBSTA/2001/2, paragraphs 19-21), the SBSTA took note of these submissions (FCCC/SBSTA/2001/MISC.1) and decided to consider this matter further at its fifteenth session.\nAt SBSTA 15 (FCCC/SBSTA/2001/8, paragraph 29, sub-paragraphs (g), (j) - (m)), Parties considered several matters relating to the work of the IPCC on the development of good practice guidance for LULUCF. At that time, the SBSTA noted the intention of the IPCC to include harvested wood in the development of good practice guidance, while maintaining consistency with decision 3/CP.5. The SBSTA also noted that such work should not pre-empt future discussions and work and any relevant decisions relating to HWP.\nInterested Parties were encouraged to continue their work on accounting for emissions from HWP and to undertake informal collaboration on aspects of this topic. Parties were invited to submit their views on the implications of harvested wood products accounting, including views on different approaches and methodologies (FCCC/SBSTA/2003/MISC.1, Add.1 and Add.2). These views were considered by SBSTA at its eighteenth session (FCCC/SBSTA/2003/10, paragraph26(e)).\nAt this same session, the SBSTA requested the secretariat to prepare a technical paper on harvested wood products. This technical paper (FCCC/TP/2003/7 and Corr.1) took into account socio-economic and environmental impacts, including impacts on developing countries and was based on, inter alia, submissions from Parties, the outcome of the IPCC expert meeting in Dakar, any technical information related to the work of Parties in accounting for emissions from HWP, and other relevant sources of information. The technical paper was prepared with the assistance of a limited number of experts from the UNFCCC roster of experts.\nThe SBSTA, at its nineteenth session (FCCC/SBSTA/2003/15, paragraph 27(a)-(e)), took note of the following:\nThe information contained in the technical paper;\nThe appendix on HWP to the report of the IPCC good practice guidance on LULUCF, the methodologies relating to HWP in the Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines and the references in the UNFCCC reporting guidelines on annual inventories; and\nThe methods for estimating and reporting of HWP currently used by Annex I Parties in their national inventory reports.\nIt also requested the secretariat to organize a workshop on HWP before its twenty-first session. Parties were invited to submit their views on issues relating to HWP, and their views may take into account the information contained in the technical paper, the appendix on HWP to the IPCC good practice guidance on LULUCF and any other relevant information. Parties were also invited to include national data and methodological and other information on changes in carbon stocks and emissions of GHG relating to HWP, stating the approach or approaches used for this purpose.\nHarvested Wood Products at SBSTA 20-24",

        "raw_content": "6 Fascinating Facts About French Translation\nIt\u2019s become somewhat fashionable to declare that the French language is fading, washed-up, just a shadow of its former self. That\u2019s simply not true. While the world has changed since the days when French was the main international language of diplomacy (where we get the term lingua franca), French remains an important language. And there\u2019s reason to believe it\u2019s becoming more important for international businesses and organizations, not less.\nNot convinced? Here are 6 facts about French translation and the French language that might surprise you:\nFrench has 74 million native speakers and 229 million total speakers.\nThat makes it the 19th most widely-spoken native language in the world according to Wikipedia, and the 10th most-widely spoken overall. In the European Union, French is the fourth most common native language. And if you count those for whom it\u2019s a second language, French is the third-most common language in the EU.\nFrench-speaking communities exist on 5 continents.\nSure, there are 61 million French speakers in France. But the number of people who speak French in France is dwarfed by the number of people who speak French outside of its borders.\nIn fact, French is an official language in 29 countries, including:\nFrance (naturally)\n22 African French-speaking countries\nFrench remains an administrative language in Cambodia and Laos, and a diplomatic language in Vietnam. Additionally, it\u2019s a common second language in Lebanon.\nIt\u2019s also an official language of some important international organizations like the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, the World Trade Organization and the Red Cross.\nFrench is one of the most important languages for international business.\nIn 2011, a Bloomberg Rankings report called French the 2nd most powerful foreign language for businesses (not including English). Only Mandarin Chinese ranked higher.\nFrench translation is key for organizations doing business in Africa.\nWhich continent has the most French speakers? Surprise: it\u2019s not Europe, it\u2019s Africa!\nFrench is spoken in 26 African countries. Currently, 120 million people speak French in Africa. And guess what? That number is set to explode in the near future. According to some estimates, 750 million people will speak French by 2050. 80% of them will be in Africa.\nFrench is an important legal language, even outside of Francophone countries.\nDo you think legal translation in French only applies when French speakers or French-speaking countries are involved? Think again!\nIt\u2019s difficult to overestimate the importance of French to the international judicial system, since it\u2019s an official or working language in all of the following international and regional court systems:\nThe African Court on Human and Peoples\u2019 Rights\nCourt of Justice for the Economic Community of West African States\nWorld Trade Organization Appellate Body\nHow French is spoken depends on where it is spoken.\nCheck out our post on Canadian French vs. French to see how the French language differs between France and Canada as just one example of regional variations. Of course, the Francophone African countries also have their own dialects. It\u2019s important to keep regional variations in mind when creating French content for international use.\nDoes your organization need French translation services?

        "raw_content": "A few weeks ago I chaperoned our school\u2019s webpage design class for the regional computer fair. Our district has remained rather steadfast in its commitment to technology, and our students are the chief beneficiaries. The students I was with are chosen to participate in a class that focuses on various computer applications, programs, and design, but the students in our district have access to different types of technology throughout their academic career. At the computer fair, the webpage design class took five out of the six first place awards as well as the majority of the second and third place awards to boot. By far and away the most impressive award was a first place win for the mobile app game that one young man created. Basic coding I get . . . but this? This was something on a completely different plane. Upon returning to school, I was told to call our assistant principal, who told me that one of my students had decided to form a mafia to take me down.\nYes . . . a mafia to take me down.\nMy initial reaction was to laugh. Seriously? Here\u2019s a student who I tutor after school and he thinks that the best course of action is to form an organization \u2013 complete with membership offers \u2013 to take me down. Do I honestly think that something bad would have befallen me? No, not really. I\u2019m pretty sure that he didn\u2019t enjoy tutoring. Maybe he thought he was being funny. But in light of the school shootings that have occurred in the past year or so, there was a small part of me that was crying inside.\nThe following week, my student teacher gave her final vocabulary quiz in which the students were told to describe their worst day using vocabulary words correctly in context. Topics? A pet dying. Losing at a game. Having someone they didn\u2019t like send a friend request on Facebook. Having to spend time with teachers and seeking vengeance against them in the hopes of eradicating them. Huh? 1) Kudos for using vengeance and eradicate correctly in context. 2) We need to have a chat, kiddo.\nWhat\u2019s a girl to do in times like these? When it seems like the world has tilted ever so slightly? Walk. Long. Hard. Up hills. Downtown. With a puppy. Jog a little bit. Say hello to people. Let the dog posture at ducks and geese. But above all . . . clear my head. Twenty-three miles of walking and clearing my head. All the while, Lucy has been by my side, happily trotting along and meeting new people. She\u2019s a good walking partner. If I feel like talking, she\u2019ll listen. But if I want to get out in silence, letting everything marinate and stew in my mind, she\u2019s happy with that, too. And provided I keep giving her treats, I\u2019m 99% sure she won\u2019t turn to Cosa Nostra to exact her revenge.\nCheck Overexposed and Underdeveloped tomorrow for something new . . . there\u2019s a little change that I\u2019ve been meaning to make.\nCategories: Lucy, Pets, School\nTagged: ets, pets, teaching, walking\n\u00ab So Cold I Can See My Breath Marry You \u00bb",

Then use that knowledge to help separate mixtures back into pure substances.\nUnderstand that molecules have different geometrical shapes.\nExplain the factors that affect the geometrical arrangement of atoms in a molecule.\nExplain that the molecular geometry of molecules is currently explained by the VSEPR theory.\nWhat theory is used to explain why the geometric shape of a molecule is dependent on its bonding structure?\n~ The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory explains why the geometric shape of a molecule is dependent on its bonding structure.\nBased on this theory, how are the atoms in a beryllium hydride molecule positioned?\n~ According to the VSEPR theory, the hydrogen atoms that bond to the center beryllium atom repel each other to position themselves as far away from each other as possible because there are no shared electrons. This results in a linear shape.\nWhat does the theory tell us about the geometric shape of water molecules?\n~ The VSEPR theory tells us that the two lone pairs in the oxygen atom found in the water molecule repel the electrons of the hydrogen atoms. This forces the unshared electrons of the oxygen atom to position themselves as far away from each other as possible. However, because the hydrogen atoms have more electrostatic force to repel each other and the electrons, water is unable to form a symmetrical shape.\nWhat is hybridization and how is it related to molecular geometry?\n~ Hybridization is a process by which certain atoms with empty orbitals in their outer shells mix atomic orbitals and form new hybrid orbitals to be able to share their electrons with other atoms. Hybridization is related to molecular geometry because the shape of a molecule is dependant in part on its type of hybridization.\nPre-requisite Concepts Students should be able to define the following terms: beryllium hydride, bonding, and bonds.\nKey Vocabulary beryllium hydride, bonding, bonds",

        "raw_content": "Providing salvation from 'ruff' lives\nChristine Yumping and Jenny Shin|February 1, 2012\nMoney can be barrier to many things, such as pets, but several students have discovered an inexpensive yet rewarding method of adopting a dog.\nThere are various methods of adoption such as from an animal shelter or through a private agreement. Senior Sarah Walden adopted her dog from the Fairfax County Animal Shelter when she was a child and said she fell in love with her not long after.\n\u201cIt\u201ds a fairly simple process,\u201d Walden said. \u201c[Adoption] is cheaper and it feels good to be able to give a dog a home from the pound.\nSenior Karina Bayless\u2019 family currently owns two black Labrador Retrievers they rescued in 2009. She said they chose adoption because they wanted to provide a better life and home for a dog.\n\u201cIt is a great thing to do, giving these animals a better life and taking care of them when someone else wasn\u2019t able to anymore,\u201d Bayless said.\nBayless\u2019 dog, Maya, came from a family that could not take care of her anymore. Because she came from the mountains, the family had to treat to her lime disease and ticks. Bayless\u2019 sister\u2019s dog, Shadow, came from New Orleans as a survivor of Hurricane Katrina. It took a while for her to get accustomed, starting with learning not to jump whenever someone sneezed.\n\u201cShadow was very skittish when we got her,\u201d Bayless said. \u201cShe grew to be more comfortable with different things over time.\u201d\nSenior Dayton Landew\u2019s half German Shepard and half Grey Wolf, Leda, was similarly skittish and cautious of other people. Because she had been a stray dog and abused by her previous owners, she was both not used to being around people and afraid. Nonetheless, Landew\u2019s family found something unique in Leda.\n\u201cAt first, we were thinking about just buying a dog,\u201d Landew said. \u201cBut we found something so different about her; she had a unique personality and intelligence. Even though she was afraid, she bonded quickly with our family and our other dog,\u201d he said.\nBayless said adopted dogs are unique and different from bought pets because of the previous life the dog may have had, which in many occurrences are dreadful. Therefore, as an owner, taking care of adopted dogs is a special experience.\n\u201cWe have to remember they had a previous life and other experiences,\u201d Bayless said. \u201cYou have to be patient with them because they are used to a different lifestyle and different expectations.\u201d\nLandew, Bayless and Walden said they all strongly advise adoption, not only because it is less expensive, but because doing so provides a home for a dog that may not be taken on otherwise.\n\u201cIt\u2019s better to give a dog a home that\u2019s just sitting in the pound,\u201d Walden said. \u201cOtherwise, the dogs may not even be able to live.\u201d\nTags: animal shelters, dogs, robinson",

The company claims that nearly a third of all streaming video viewer in the U.S. is done using a Ooyala player.\n\u201cWhile people are still watching much more traditional TV than streaming video, our data shows we\u2019re on a clear and irreversible course toward an IP-delivered future,\u201d said Ooyala Co-founder and President of Products Bismarck Lepe in the report.\nThe report, which tracks viewing habits of over 100 million monthly users, indicates that the boost in streaming video consumption over connected devices was aided by the October launch of Apple\u2019s iPhone 4S, continued growth from Google\u2019s Android OS platform, and the December holiday season. Video viewing on Google TV was also up by 91 percent from the third quarter, although that\u2019s not exactly saying much if Google TV app install data is any indication.\nPeople watching videos on tablets are also far more engaged than those watching on a desktop, according to the report. On average, tablet viewers were 45 percent more likely to complete 75 percent of video played on the device.\nAlso interesting was data about social media engagement behavior related to streaming video. Despite Twitter\u2019s attention to tracking real-time viewing habits through tweets, Ooyala\u2019s report found that Facebook users on average share ten times more video than Twitter users.\nCheck out a condensed sample of the full Q4 2011 video index report in Ooyala\u2019s infographic embedded below.",

        "raw_content": "This Timeline Shows The Entire History of The Universe, And Where It\u2019s Headed \u2013 Alien UFO Sightings\nIf you\u2019re the type of person who sometimes wakes up at 3am and lies in bed trying to wrap your tiny mind around the achingly vast Universe and where it\u2019s all headed, well, we have something for you (also, same).\nThis incredible (and incredibly long) infographic from 2015 just keeps going and going and going. Which makes sense, because we\u2019re talking about the entire lifespan of the Universe, from the moment of the Big Bang to the \u2018heat death\u2019 of everything we know and love.\nCreated by Slovak graphic designer Martin Vargic, the Timeline of the Universe covers the past 13.8 billion years of space, and then plots out what\u2019s likely to occur in the next 10 billion or so.\nHe\u2019s even separated everything out into things that affect space, Earth, life, and humanity, just so you can really easily see what\u2019s going to hit us the hardest in our end of days.\nWe start out with the beginning of everything \u2013 the Big Bang, which gave rise to the Universe 13.8 billion years ago.\nThe event birthed the oldest known star in the Universe, Methuselah, located about 190.1 light-years away from Earth.\nThis strange star has caused quite a bit of trouble for astronomers in the past, because estimates had at one point put its age at around 16 billion years \u2013 well before the birth of the Universe, which doesn\u2019t make sense at all.\nIt was only in 2013 that scientists were able to reconcile the age of Methuselah with the age of the Universe, using a new method of combining data on its distance, brightness, composition and structure to come up with a significantly younger age for the oldest known star.\n\u201cPut all of those ingredients together, and you get an age of 14.5 billion years, with a residual uncertainty that makes the star\u2019s age compatible with the age of the Universe,\u201d lead researcher Howard Bond from Pennsylvania State University said at the time.\nAs Mike Wall from Space.com explains, while 14.5 billion is still younger than the estimated birth of the Universe, the uncertainty Bond is referring to allows for plus or minus 800 million years, which means their calculations could put the formation of Methuselah at 13.7 billion years old \u2013 just after the Big Bang, although only just.\nFast-forward to 10.4 billion years ago, and the Universe achieves habitability for the first time, and life is finally given a chance to emerge.\nHaving said that, we\u2019re going to have to wait for the 4.2-billion-years-ago mark to actually see any life on Earth at all, but from there, things start to happen very quickly. (The timeline also includes the more conservative estimate of 3.9 billion years ago for when life on Earth first emerges.)\nWant to know when the first natural nuclear reactor formed on Earth, or how far back the brightest star in the night sky appeared? Well, I sure hope you like scrolling, because be prepared to do a lot of it to find out.\nAnd once you get the the bottom of the timeline, enjoy, because you\u2019ll be steeped in all the gory details of the predicted death of the Universe, including when Saturn\u2019s rings will decay into dust, Earth\u2019s orbit goes completely out of whack, and the Sun runs out of hydrogen.

Thomas Hand, who has been at the firm since 2003 serving in a variety of roles, became chief marketing officer in July of 2017. He has quickly made his impact on streamlining the business development processes of the firm.\nStump\u2019s promotion left a vacancy in the role of chief operating officer, where he had served for five years. Stump appointed David Allsbrook to fill this position, who had joined Volkert in 2003 after a 28-year career at the North Carolina Department of Transportation. Formerly a division president, Allsbrook brings a track record of successful operational experience in a number of regions to his new post.\nSeeing an opportunity for greater synergy in Volkert\u2019s internal support services, Stump created the position of chief administrative officer and tapped Dan Houston, new to the firm, for this position. Houston brings a quarter century of human resource and organizational development experience to Volkert, overseeing the firm\u2019s HR, IT, and legal departments.\nFinally, with the retirement of Volkert\u2019s former chief financial officer, Mike Sampson, vice president and controller, was promoted to CFO. \u201cWe were frankly honored to see the caliber of candidates who wanted to join Volkert,\u201d comments Stump. \u201cAfter carefully considering all of them, we felt that Mike had the best combination of industry expertise, firm knowledge, and cultural fit. I was pleased to discover that \u2018best in class\u2019 for this key role was already working for us and committed to our strategy.\u201d\nWith Sampson\u2019s appointment as CFO official on April 20, Volkert entered its goal-setting Senior Officers Meeting on April 21-22 with its C-suite complete. A few days later, the firm learned of its advancement of seven places in Engineering News-Record\u2019s Top 500 Design Firms for 2018, now ranking 87th.\n\u201cThis ranking reflects the hard work of all our associates,\u201d says Stump. \u201cIt sets the right tone, and a high bar, for our work this year. Given the executive leadership we\u2019ve assembled, along with our excellent team of regional senior vice presidents and the continued dedication of our staff, I am convinced that the best days of Volkert are just ahead.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Raico on Klaus and the Czechs\nEthics, History, Politics 03/06/2013 1 Comment\nThe LRC Blog publishes Ralph Raico\u2019s appraisal of Vaclav Klaus:\nSorry to have to disagree with a couple of my LRC pals, but as far as I\u2019m concerned Vaclav Klaus was no hero of freedom. In the mid-1940s, the Wehrmacht withdrew from Bohemia and Moravia, and the Czechs, who hadn\u2019t uttered a peep (some resistance fighters had to be flown in from Britain), suddenly found their virility. Led by Edvard Benes, all Germans were expelled from their ancestral lands in the Sudetenland, from Prague, and elsewhere. \u201cCzechoslovakia\u201d from the beginning was a fraud cooked up at Versailles; it contained more Germans than Slovaks, and the Slovaks were discriminated against to the advantage of the Czechs, as was the Hungarian minority (expelled with the Germans). Probably around one and a half million Germans\u2013almost all women, children, and old men\u2013died in the brutal expulsion. Some years ago, the Czech president, Vaclav Havel, apologized for the crime, defying public opinion. Vaclav Klaus ostentatiously refused to do so. So, no, Klaus was no freedom fighter, just another amoral center-right politico.\nRaico posits Klaus is an amoral figure because, unlike Vaclav Havel he refused to apologize for the expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia when Klaus was 4-years old. I must admit I am not entirely clear on the details of this apology business. Why was it expected Klaus would apologize when his predecessor, Havel had already done so? Is one time enough, or are these apologies something the Czechs are obliged to issue periodically, every so-and-so years?\nMore to the point, absent actual discontinuation of injustice, what difference does an apology make? How come the amoral Klaus may be contrasted to Havel when neither did anything to enable the expelled Germans to reclaim their property? Suppose you were driven from your home. Suppose that after a while the people who drove you away apologized to you, but still did not allow you to return. (\u201cWe\u2019re sorry for continuing to keep you from your home. Please forgive us.\u201d) Would you feel the apology had partially corrected the injustice you were suffering, or would it just increase your anger? Would you even consider it an apology at all? Since it is clear you would not, it follows the only real difference between Klaus and Havel was that Klaus did not insult the intelligence of expellee-Germans with apologizing for something he was obviously not sorry about.\nIn fact such apologies by heads of states are problematic in themselves. In his apology Havel stated he was apologizing on the behalf of the Czech people. This reeks of a ridiculous level of pretentiousness and self-importance. The only valid apology a stateperson may make is one on the behalf of the state itself. But they should never be encouraged to appoint themselves the spokesperson for an entire people, least of all by libertarians such as Raico. Havel could not speak for the Czechs as a whole and it was outrageous of him to claim otherwise. Furthermore, the ultimate logic of such an apology, made in the name of an entire people, implies the guilt of the people as a whole (regardless of any caveats and disclaimers to the contrary in the statement itself). It implies the notion of collective responsibility, which is something that Raico has (correctly) argued against in the context of the crimes of Nazi Germany and the German people.\nRaico writes that the Czechs \u201chadn\u2019t uttered a peep\u201d during German occupation, but when \u201cin the mid-1940s, the Wehrmacht withdrew\u201d then \u201csuddenly found their virility\u201d and went about expelling the Germans. It is safe to say stating the Czechs \u201chadn\u2019t uttered a peep\u201d is a very uncharitable characterization of the level of Czech resistance to the German occupation. The Czechs offered less resistance to the forces of the occupation than some occupied nations, but more than others. On May 5th 1945 the Czech resistance launched an effort to eject the Wehrmacht from Prague and fought it on its own for four days until the Red Army rolled in on May 9th.* Altogether some 5,700 Czechs were killed in Bohemia in May 1945.** Some of these were killed in German reprisals, as civilian victims of German artillery or bombs, or were executed as alleged collaborators, but many of them perished in combat as members of the Czech resistance fighting the armed forces of Nazi Germany. If one is so inclined, one may cavalierly dismiss this level of resistance as not arising to a level of a \u201cpeep\u201d, but if so, it seems to me such a severe judge of the Czechs better be certain that in similar circumstances he would have done more. Failing such conviction a measure of caution, and even respect, would seem to be more appropriate.\nShock TV: Pavlik Morozov Redux\nEthics 02/13/2013 Leave a comment\nRecently I once more found myself thinking about what was probably the most shocking moment in the history of television. It was after I stumbled on an article that wraps up the story of the Iraqi youth who was one of the main actors in that event. Here is what I mean.\nAges ago, in elementary school I was told the former Soviet Union had been a very bad place to live in. I was told the regime there had been so rotten it encouraged children to inform on their parents and report them to the authorities, if they suspected their guardians were plotting against the state. The authorities would praise the children for having done so in the press and handed them trinkets as a recognition for a job well done. Certainly I thought then, and since then, that any authority which engaged in something like that must had been beyond contempt and redemption.\nScroll forward to 2005 or 2006. I am seated in front of the TV set, flipping channels. There\u2019s Oprah Winfrey Show \u2014 normally I would keep on going, but something makes me hesitate. There\u2019s Oprah\u2019s best therapist voice, and there are people in camo seated on her couch. This could be Iraq-related, which means I\u2019m definitely interested.*\nThe TV has my undivided attention as Oprah ask a Middle Eastern-looking boy sitting next to the soldiers: \u201cAnd when did you realize your father was involved with some very bad people?\u201d I grow momentarily uneasy, and as I continue to follow the conversation I find myself sitting in disbelief, completely at a loss to assimilate what my ears are undoubtedly hearing. They are praising a boy for turning in his father to the occupational authorities, in the clear sight of hundreds of millions of people the world over. Have they gone completely mad??\nLong story short, a 14-year old Iraqi youth, Jamil, sought out American troops and informed them on his father\u2019s role in the Iraqi resistance. By his own claims his father was abusive, and reading between the lines it seems likely this was the reason he turned him in to his enemies. This led to the arrest of Jamil\u2019s father by the Americans, and soon thereafter the murder of his mother and sister by vindicative guerrillas, after his father \u2014 having learned it was his own son who had turned him in \u2014 broke under interrogation and gave up the names of the people he had been fighting with.\nPower\u2019s Struggle to Transcend Legitimacy\nEthics, Free Society, Law, Politics, Uncategorized 01/04/2013 Comments: 8\nImagine you are a young adult, say, sixteen or seventeen years old. Driving down the highway, you and your friends are laughing and joking. Without warning, you see a police cruiser, circus lights blazing, in your rearview mirror, and quickly pull to the side of the road. You are gripped with terror in the knowledge that you have been breaking the law in a very serious way. When the police officer approaches, you reluctantly roll down your window. He immediately recognizes the smell emanating from your vehicle \u2013 he orders you to step out of the vehicle and calls for backup. You are cuffed, your car is searched and a bag of cannabis is found. You are going to jail \u2013 it will be the first step in a very long journey that is going to have lifelong consequences. We could have told the same story of a young adult walking down the road with friends, laughing and carousing while drinking, circa 1920\u2019s. During Prohibition, the consumption of alcohol under most circumstances was illegal and punishment could be very severe.\nOf course, most people subjected to alcohol prohibition or drug prohibition feel that the measures taken against them are simply unfair. But this doesn\u2019t matter in the eyes of the exponents of prohibition because, as they see it, any criminal feels that the legitimate exercise of power in curtailing or correcting his crimes is unfair.\nAlone in your jail cell the first night, you might begin wondering how you ended up in this mess. Did you make a wrong choice somewhere along the way? Had you fallen into the wrong crowd? Perhaps you really are as anti-social as the system is treating you and you\u2019re just not wise or mature enough to realize it. This could be the wake-up call you needed to grow up and straighten your life out.\nFunky64 (www.lucarossato.com) / Foter / CC BY-NC-ND\nBut as the weeks and months and years drag on, as the legal fees, the court\u2019s fines, the community service, closed-off education and work opportunities \u2013 perhaps even some serious jail time \u2013 begin to pile on, you will probably lose all thoughts of where you might have gone wrong and your need to reform yourself. The haranguing of your parents will gradually begin to sound like the intolerable screeching of Harpies and will lose its grip on your conscience entirely. You will know, deep inside, that the punishment which you are being forced to endure is out of all proportion to whatever you did wrong \u2013 if you did anything wrong at all. Your thoughts may begin to turn to the law itself, and wondering how it is that such an innocuous act as being in the presence of friends smoking a joint could be punished with such medieval abandon.",

        "raw_content": "Vote of Confidence: Polling Places Tragedies\nOur thoughts and prayers go out to the people in Afghanistan who were senselessly killed as they stood in line to register to vote. It is our sincere hope that our work at Votem will help create a future where is mass violence against voters is a thing of the past.\nThis past Sunday, ISIS claimed responsibility for an attack on a voter registration center in Kabul\u2019s Dashte Barchi neighborhood. As last reported, the suicide bomber in question killed at least 57 people, including women and children. Those murdered and injured were registering to vote in October\u2019s legislative elections. ISIS stated that the attack was targeted towards the Shi\u2019ites who occupy the specific neighborhood of Kabul. Underneath this convenient pretense, ISIS and other terrorist organizations are terrified of the democratic process. There is nothing that undermines the goals of tyrannical regimes more than a constituent casting a peaceful ballot.\nAfghan elections in the past 20 years have been plagued by attacks by both the Taliban and ISIS and, despite the obvious risk democratic participation poses, citizens still line up. It is a failure of modern society that we do not provide citizens who demonstrate the bravery simply to participate in their local elections with an option that is safer and more accessible.\nIn this blog, we have explained why paper based systems are inaccessible, insecure, and expensive. We have not discussed, however, the inherent danger posed by in-person balloting in conflict-stricken parts of the world. According to a recent Broadcasting Board of Governors report, approximately 81% of all Afghanis have access to a mobile device. One can only assume that percentage has increased in the past five to six years as, in 2002, the number was zero. We believe that mobile voting, secured by the blockchain, could have given those innocent people the ability vote safely without the risk of a mass killing like the one that happened.\nGiving Afghani citizens the ability to cast their vote remotely takes away a terrorist organization\u2019s ability to undermine an election and, undoubtedly, will save hundreds, if not thousands of lives over time.\nNot so far from home.\nIn a separate but related article in ElectionLine, election judges in Hartford County, MD are taking an active shooter training program. The training is now mandatory for all election judges in Hartford County and their response has been overwhelmingly positive.\nIt is a sad state of affairs that election judges, almost all of whom are unpaid volunteers, must be prepared to deal with a mass murderer. Preparation is good, but prevention is always better. Active shooters will target places like polling stations because they know they are full of innocent, unarmed individuals.\nThe article does raise the question, where are we in our democracy that volunteers need to be trained with firearms in preparation for a \u201cwhat if?\u201d situation? While these concerns are far more glaring in a place like Afghanistan, these trainings are proof that an attack on a polling place is not a remote notion anywhere.\nMobile voting technology is at the point where we do not need to secure our polling places with armed volunteers. While the change to mobile voting may not be swift, it should be a worthwhile concern for paper advocates who see no other way forward other than in-person voting. Together with our blockchain voting platform, we can make exercising our constitutional right a safer and more secure experience in the U.S. and around the world.\nsee no other way forward other than in-person voting. The human toll posed by traditional polling places is not acceptable.",

        "title": "Opinion: The Accountability Dilemma in VR",
        "raw_content": "Opinion: The Accountability Dilemma in VR\nKim Arazi - Medium\nA recent visit to the London Design Museum ended up raising lots of questions for me about the societal implications of virtual reality (VR).\nSpecifically, it was an exhibit in the Design section of the Designer, Maker, User exhibition that got me thinking about the challenges that accompany the advancement of VR.\nOn display were two highly successful designs that were created during and just after the second world war: an AK-47 assault rifle (a.k.a. Kalashnikov) and a leg splint. Each was extremely well designed in its own way\u200a\u2014\u200aboth performed their functions very effectively, were easy to use and applied available materials in an ingenious way. However, one was made for the purpose of healing while the other was designed to maim and kill.\nThe AK-47 assault rifle displayed next to a wooden splint at the London Design Museum\nThe point of juxtaposing these items, which can be viewed as the cause and effect of the same outcome, is to make us think about what \u2018good\u2019 design actually means and if there is a moral or ethical component to design. In other words, can something be considered \u2018good\u2019 design even if it is created for the purpose of harming or even killing others? Or should design only be considered \u2018good\u2019 if it improves the world? We are then confronted with the moral question: Should a designer be held accountable for the way in which their products are used or is this ultimately the responsibility of the user?\nAs someone who is extremely passionate about new technologies and particularly excited about the potential of virtual reality, this really made me think. I believe we are not far off from a time when VR will become a critical part of our everyday lives, from helping us learn new things, train for jobs, discover places, experience adventures, meet new people, and undergo medical therapies and treatments. This platform, aka the Final Platform, has so much potential to improve our lives. But the flip side is that if VR can be used for a positive or \u2018good\u2019 purpose, it can also be used for a negative or \u2018bad\u2019 one, even if not intentional.\nLet\u2019s take the games industry as an example. This sector has always been an early adopter of new technologies as die-hard gamers are always looking for the most sophisticated and realistic gaming experience and are willing to pay for the privilege. We can already find numerous examples of successful VR games that might be considered somewhat violent, such as Pavlov VRand Serious Sam VR. This isn\u2019t surprising\u200a\u2014\u200ashooter games are extremely popular and giving players the opportunity to shoot in more real-life environments understandably adds to the thrill. And if these games are proving successful, it seems obvious that the VR games developers are on the right track and should continue down this path, making them more and more realistic.\nThe question is: Do VR developers have a responsibility for how the technology and content they are creating is being used? Perhaps we should narrow this down further as there are two elements here: the technology and the content.\nIf we are referring to the actual building of the technology that allows us to experience a virtual world, then I would say that the developers of this technology do not have a moral responsibility to how it\u2019s being used. In my view, that would be like saying that the person who created the motion picture camera is responsible for the advent of pornography.\nIf, however, we are referring to the actual content being created to use with VR headsets, then this is a different question altogether. So far, there is no proof that that violent VR games create violent people\u200a\u2014\u200aespecially as at this stage, no VR game is graphically powerful enough to make you believe you actually killed someone. However, as Dante Buckley, creator of popular VR shooter game, Onward, points out in an interview for UploadVR, \u201c\u2026 when things do start to get more real for a game like Onward, or another first person shooter, there\u2019s going to have to be a responsibility for people to consider.\u201d\nBut should this responsibility only be considered for VR content that promotes violent or \u2018negative\u2019 behaviour?\nA few months prior, I had attended a panel session on VR In Real Life at a conference. During the Q&A after the discussion, an audience member asked the panel how they thought violent and pornographic, or \u2018bad\u2019 VR content should be monitored and who should be held responsible for ensuring it doesn\u2019t get into the hands of children. The panelists seemed to all agree that it\u2019s really up to parents to monitor their children\u2019s use of VR headsets, just like they monitor their children\u2019s use of TV, computers, games consoles and mobiles. They also agreed that eventually there will be a need for some sort of regulation around VR content, as there is on other content platforms.\nIt then occurred to me that while there is an obvious concern around how violent VR shooter games can potentially have a negative impact on the users, (especially children), we will soon be confronting another challenge that is just as worrying, if not more.\nI quickly raised my hand: \u2018What about \u2018good\u2019 content? I mean what about content that makes us feel better about ourselves\u2026immersive content that gives physically disabled people the ability to climb mountains and cycle through the countryside, or virtual chat spaces that give socially-inept people the chance to live vicariously through their avatars who are popular and confident? What if these people prefer their virtual lives and don\u2019t want to leave the virtual world because they no longer know how to\u200a\u2014\u200aor want to\u200a\u2014\u200acope in the real one?\u2019\nOne of the VC panelists shrugged his shoulders and answered \u2018So what? Let them stay in their virtual worlds if they want to! That\u2019s not our problem.\u2019\nThat response really struck a chord.\nWhile it\u2019s true that it\u2019s still too early to know what the consequences of long-term exposure to VR will be, it\u2019s clear to me that as an industry, this very much is our problem. Of course we can\u2019t be held accountable for all the ways in which people will use the technology, but we can ensure we create the best possible content by 1) working with psychologists, educators, neuroscientists and the medical industry as a whole to research the effect various immersive content will have on people before it goes to market and 2) developing the expertise (i.e. specialist therapies) that will be needed to deal with the after-effects on people who are immersed in VR content over long periods of time.\nSimply washing our hands of any accountability and continuing to develop more realistic immersive content for the sake of it (i.e. because we can) is not an option, and can lead to harmful outcomes.\nI strongly believe that as an industry, and as a society, it is our responsibility to ensure we are building technologies whose main purpose is to serve humanity and improve our lives overall.",

The beeswax is collected by beekeepers and refined for further use.\nBeekeepers use a lot of the beeswax to create new beehives for their bees, but there are many other uses for this product.\nBeeswax is used as a glazing agent in some foods.

        "title": "NEDs Service Contract | iNED Information Bank",
        "raw_content": "When all the due diligence has been performed by all parties; when the NED has been approved by the regulators, but before the appointment is finalised, the NED will need to agree terms with the company in question and embody those terms in a contract. It is possible, of course, depending on timing, to make the appointment subject to regulatory approval.\nAs always, these legally binding documents will be tailor-made to suit the company and the NED and they do vary across the insurance industry.\nTHE NED'S CONTRACT FOR SERVICES\nMost contracts for NEDs are explicitly not contracts of employment; rather they are contracts for services.\nThere is a commonality to most contracts of this nature, which should, as a minimum, cover the following mutually agreed issues, although not necessarily in this order:\nAppointment to the Board\nRequirement to serve on specified Board Committees\nDefinition of NED role\nTerm of the appointment, with start date, and duration\nRequirement to perform satisfactorily\nTime commitment (often specified as a number of days)\nTiming of meetings (e.g. quarterly) and dates for both the Board and its Committees.\nVenue of meetings\nAlternative forms of meeting in accordance with the Articles\nAccepting additional commitments\nFees: amount and when paid\nDeclared outside interests\nConfidential nature of the company's data\nDisclosure of price sensitive information\nInduction arrangements\nReview process: Board and individual Directors\nBoard and Board Committee terms of reference\nEnglish law, or as appropriate\nMost NEDs will be appointed for specific terms. Two or three years seems to be the norm, with, perhaps, a renewal provision.\nVarious schools of thought exist, but the IoD and today's regulators would expect any term or continuous service beyond six years to be subject to a particularly rigorous review, which should take into account the need for progressive refreshing of the composition of the Board.\nNotwithstanding delicate, but pragmatic, matters such as age, which cannot be used for discriminatory purposes, lengthy service as a NED can bring into question matters of genuine independence and impartiality. There is a perception that NEDs run the risk of \"going native\" if they serve on Boards for too long or that their objectivity might be compromised by familiarity bred of long service.\nThe Higgs Report outlined a series of tests of independence, including length of service, which the report defined as ten years, although not all commentators would agree with that period today.\nContracts of employment should specify the number of days for which the NED's services are engaged. A minimum number of days may also be indicated.\nSuch time commitments should include attendance at all meetings; preparation time and time spent in communicating with the company through a variety of media.\nSuch requirements presuppose a degree of time and diary management by the NED; a commitment to attend meetings (thereby organising other affairs accordingly) and an ability to arrange the NED's corporate life efficiently and without compromise if a portfolio of NED appointments exists.\nToday, it would not be at all unusual when asking a NED to attend for a day at a Board meeting to double that time to allow for adequate preparation. As a minimum, a commitment of 15 to 20 days a year would be quite normal with additional days added for participation on a number of Board Committees.\nIt is not possible to offer absolute guidance about the level of NED fees, as they vary considerably across the insurance industry. The greatest differences exist as between the publicly quoted (PLC) and private companies. Also, the role of non-Executive Chair tends to carry, justifiably, a higher level of remuneration than that of other NEDs.\nNEDs need to be aware that their remuneration is normally by way of a fixed annual fee, although some firms supplement this with \"per meeting attendance fees.\nWhile a portfolio of three or more non-Executive Directorships may involve total remuneration running into six figures, it will rarely reach the annual salary level, with bonuses, of a very senior manager in the insurance industry. Additionally, of course, for independent NEDs, their remuneration will not involve any incentive compensation, stock awards or benefits such as health insurance and pension contributions.\nIn the recent past, however, rising levels of payment to NEDs have been a reflection of the increased responsibilities they have taken on in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008. Additional time commitments, increased reputational risk and the expectation of regulators have all contributed to a general increase in fees paid to NEDs for both Board participation and for sitting on specific Board Committees.\nAs regulators place increasing emphasis on the critical corporate governance role played by NEDS and look to meet and question them at least annually, so NEDs are increasingly concerned that they should be properly remunerated for the onerous responsibilities they carry.\nBy way of indication only, in the case of a regulated start-up or a non-complex business of modest size, involving 20 contracted days per annum, a 2017 fee in the order of \u00a350,000 to \u00a360,000 would not be considered unusual, depending upon the scope of the appointment.\nEach case must, of course, be looked at individually and a somewhat lower amount may be justified in specific circumstances. On the other hand, significantly higher fees for NEDs in the larger insurers and Lloyd's managing agents would not be unusual.\nAt an iNED Forum held in November 2014, Per Ardua, the Executive search firm, indicated the following levels of current NED remuneration in the insurance sector:\nNED: \u00a380,000 \u2013 \u00a3140,000\nNED Committee / Chair: \u00a310,000 \u2013 \u00a315,000 (Chair: \u00a315,000 \u2013 \u00a320,000)\nChairman: \u00a3400,000 \u2013 \u00a3650,000\nNED Committee/Chair: \u00a310,000 \u2013 \u00a315,000 (Chair: \u00a315,000 \u2013 \u00a320,000)\nSubsidiary / Non FTSE Company\nNED: \u00a340,000 \u2013 \u00a375,000\nNED Committee/Chair: \u00a35,000 \u2013 \u00a310,000 (Chair: \u00a310,000 \u2013 \u00a315,000)\nChairman: \u00a375,000 \u2013 \u00a3150,000\nThe following observations were also made at that iNED Forum:\nCommittees should be paid separately. \u00a35,000 \u2013 \u00a310,000. Possibly \u00a315,000 if Chairing\nFees will always depend on expected days\u2019 involvement and this may differ considerably\nIt\u2019s very important to obtain a realistic decision on the number of Board and Committee days and whether they are concurrent or not. Also, how much pre-reading is involved and how many off-site attendances will be required\nSome adjustment should be made for inflation and the increasingly onerous responsibilities assumed by NEDS since the November 2014 iNED Forum.\nHiggs Report",

        "raw_content": "Will pool water hurt Bees?\nNobody in our lab is aware of any study that has looked at the possible toxicity of swimming pool water to bees. However, bees certainly seem to like drinking from pools. It could just be that a pool is an easy water source to find, but we also know that bees generally like a tiny amount of salt in their water. Perhaps swimming pools have the right amount of salt to please the bees thanks to some human sweat or some pH balancing chemicals. These pH chemicals are usually sodium and chlorine based compounds like hydrochloric acid or sodium bicarbonate that are in specific formulations to make them safe for home use, leaving \"sodium chloride\" in the water. It is clear from many anecdotal observations that bees like drinking out of swimming pools, although they do not like to get their feet wet. Pool water is formulated for it to be safe for us to drink, and we do not know of anything about the physiology of the bee gut to suggest that they would have trouble that we would not. In addition, on hot days bees will recruit large numbers of foragers to gather water rather than food, and a swimming pool is a good place to do so. They then spread this water around the hive and fan their wings the over water droplets to produce evaporative cooling. So, the bees may not even be directly consuming much of the water that they collect. If pool water was toxic to the bees, beekeepers would probably have noticed bee kills by now because large numbers from a single hive would have drank the same water. So it is highly likely that it's safe enough not to worry about. However, to be on the safe side beekeepers may want to consider putting out other sources of water for their bees, particularly during the hot, dry months.",

Please see below to find information that pertains to your type of visit.\nPlease Note: Entrance is allowed for business, for visiting staff, faculty and cadets who live on West Point, and for public events such as concerts, sporting events, cadet reviews and graduation. Visitors may take a nominally priced guided bus tour of the Academy grounds departing from the West Point Visitors Center. Please visit West Point Tours for more details. Foreign nationals without a qualified escort may only access West Point by taking a West Point tour.\nVisitation Blackout Dates: 20-28 May 2019, 29 June-2 July 2019\nNotice to Applicants and Families\nWe respectfully request that no visits occur during Graduation Week 20-28 May 2019, and R-Day 29 June-2 July 2019.\nWe will be unable to assist you. Thank you for your understanding.\nAll visitors (except valid DoD ID card holders) must report to the Visitor Control Center in order to obtain a background check to enter West Point. After completing the background check, you will be issued a West Point Local Area Credential which will authorize you to enter the installation. The Visitor Center is located approximately 1/4 mile outside the Thayer Gate at 2107 New South Post Rd, West Point, NY. The hours of operation are 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday. You will not be able to attend an Admissions briefing and tour without these credentials. Please allow yourself an extra hour to complete this process.\nFor a prospective candidate guided visit, please make an appointment by calling the Admissions office at 845-938-5760/5759.\nIf you are considering West Point for college, we invite you to come for a visit. From September to April, we have day tours available for you and your family to meet with cadets and staff.\nProspective candidates and their families may schedule a \"daily admissions visit\" which will be conducted Monday-Friday at 7:45 AM during the academic year when classes are in regular session (mid-August through mid-November, mid-January through April). Daily visits consist of a 1-hour briefing co-presented by an Admissions Officer and a current Cadet, a walking tour of the campus (weather permitting), an opportunity for a one-on-one meeting with an Admissions Officer, as well as a chance for the prospective candidate to attend classes and eat lunch with a Cadet. The briefing is conducted on the first floor of Bldg 606.\nAppointments are required so please call (845) 938-5760/5759 to schedule your visit and obtain specific instructions. These hours are applicable from September to April to coincide with the routine events of the academic calendar. No appointments will be scheduled during holidays, high-traffic event days (Graduation and R-Day), and Term End Exam periods.\nDuring the summer months (May- September) and other periods when classes are not in session, the briefings begin at 10:00 AM. These \"other periods\" are defined by the academic calendar and include Reorganization week, graduation week, Term End Exam weeks (first two weeks of December and May), Thanksgiving break (typically starting the Friday before Thanksgiving), winter break (typically the last 2 weeks in December through the first week of January), and Spring Break (which varies slightly each year). Regrettably, Cadets are not in residence during these above periods so there is no opportunity for the prospective candidate to attend classes or eat lunch with a Cadet.\nThese \"daily\" visits, especially those conducted during the academic year, are the best way to become familiar with West Point \u2013 both as a top-ranked college and a military academy.\nThe campus is rich in beauty, architecture, and history \u2013 you can see it and feel it everywhere you go. We invite you to experience it for yourself and at the same time, give us a chance to get to know you better. During your visit, think about what it would be like to be a West Point Cadet. Do you see yourself here? Does it feel right? Do you want to lead Soldiers and serve your country?\nOn your GPS or Phone:\nCity - First, if you do not posses approved DoD identification, please visit the Visitor Control Center at 2107 New South Post Road . Then proceed to 1 Thayer Road, to the Thayer Gate. Admissions is located down the road about 1 mile.\nJust 45 minutes north of New York City, West Point sits high on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. Spectacular views are just part of the natural and architectural beauty that is West Point. In your GPS, type in: 1 Thayer Road, West Point, NY. This address takes you to the Thayer Gate. We are 606 Thayer Road. Please bring identification to gain access on post.\nParking/Ground Transportation to the Admissions Office, Bldg. 606\nDue to limited availability, parking near Bldg 606 and along Thayer Road is by permit only. Visitors must park at the Buffalo Soldier Field parking lot (just inside Thayer Gate). To convey visitors, free shuttle buses run roundtrip, Mon-Fri (except holidays), from the Bus Shelter in the Buffalo Soldier Field parking lot to Trophy Point Amphitheater (Clinton Parking Lot). We recommend parking at Buffalo Soldier Field and taking the 7:05 AM or 07:25 AM bus. Notify the driver that you wish to be dropped at the corner of Thayer & Cullum Road. Walk down Thayer Road toward the guard shack. Admissions (Building 606) will be on your left, about a 5-minute walk from the bus stop.A real time tracker is located at http://www.westpoint.army.mil/shuttle.html to help you project the arrival of the bus.\nNOTE: During the academic year (September through April, excepting holidays) candidates must select a tour date at least two weeks prior to the current date. Cancellations or new appointments may not be made within two weeks of the current date. If you have questions about scheduling a visit, please call 845-938-5760/5759.\nFor Visits during the Summer\nNo appointment is necessary, just arrive at 606 Thayer Road by 09:45. Parking may be challenging - expect to walk a little from your parking spot. It may be better to drop everyone off prior to parking your car. After an Admissions overview, the Admissions Officer will take visitors on a walking tour. The tour will be done by approximately 12:00 PM. Meals and lodging are not provided to visiting candidates during the summer months, but the weather is nicer! Please e-mail us at admissions@westpoint.edu to let us know you are coming.\nThe date you plan to visit (no tours available on weekends/holidays).\nInclude: Name of candidate (if applicable) and other family members.\nIf not yet a high school junior or senior, what year the interested visitor is in school.\nIs an alumni in the group?

        "title": "White Salmon RiverFest and Symposium Wrap-up - Wet Planet Whitewater",
        "raw_content": "White Salmon RiverFest and Symposium Wrap-up\nThe 7th annual White Salmon RiverFest and Symposium brought a unique crowd of river lovers to Wet Planet Whitewater, all of whom were unfazed by the windy and cool weather.\nOn October 26, 2011 the Condit Dam on the White Salmon River was breached and a select few were invited to visit the site and witness first-hand the magnificence of this historic event.\nAfter 8 months of de-constructing the dam, Wet Planet teamed up with Pacificorp, making it possible to visit the dam site and see the current state of dam removal. This \u2018once in a lifetime\u2019 invitation was a part of the this year\u2019s Riverfest ~ an event that celebrates the White Salmon River and seeks to educate the community on important events on the river.\nRafting with Your Community\nOver 50 people took advantage of the Condit Dam Tour and stayed afterwards to enjoy some thrilling whitewater rafting on the White Salmon River Community Raft Trip. This is the 3rd year that Wet Planet has reached out to the community and offered a \u201ccommunity appreciation\u201d raft float in conjunction with the festival & symposium.\n\u201cCommunity is a big part of Wet Planet,\u201d states one of the event coordinators, Heather Herbeck. \u201cThis is a way to show our appreciation for our community and also allow local residents to experience the White Salmon River over and over again . . . if not, for their first time ever!\u201d\nRacing Down the River\nIn addition to the 10+ rafts on the river for the community float, the White Salmon River saw even more exciting traffic. A whitewater rafting and kayaking event was set up to race the entire 5-mile stretch of the Middle White Salmon. We wanted to give an opportunity to private boaters to show their love for the river. Each year the Riverfest event provides different \u2018on-water\u2019 entertainment. Last year was \u2018hucking\u2019 BZ Falls (a 15 foot waterfall) at a river level of 4 feet (high water). This year was a full-out sprint down the Middle White Salmon River at over 4 \u00bd feet.\nCorey Williams 27:13\nLuke Maddux 27:14\nAndy Morrissey 27:27\nNote: The top 3 racers were all Columbia River Gorge locals.\nOregon Rafting Team #1 28:12\nDespite the smiles, laughs and chitter chatter from the on-water afternoon adventures, kayakers and rafters were eager to get into dry clothes. The afternoon continued with presentations and information shared about the current state of the White Salmon River and its future.\nRiver Knowledge\nThe Riverfest\u2019s roots lie within the Symposium portion of the event, when the river guides and community members can learn more about the watershed.\nSpeakers focused on the return of salmon to the White Salmon River with the removal of Condit Dam. With their return, the river will slowly change back to it\u2019s historic character.\nRod Engle from US Fish and Wildlife spoke about his research on salmon redds (nests) above and below the dam site. Jeanette Burkhardt of Yakima Nations Fisheries told of the Native American\u2019s history in the valley and throughout the Columbia River Gorge. She also indicated their excitement for the return of the fish that has sustained their people for tens of thousands of years. Finally, Pat Arnold of Friends of the White Salmon River spoke about getting involved in your own watershed and speaking up for the health of the rivers we enjoy.\nThe evening brought everyone together for food and entertainment, as well as one of the largest raffle drawings the Riverfest has seen yet! Gift certificates, paddling gear, t-shirts, shoes, a Jackson kayak and many more items were donated to this event. We could not have made the event happen without the great support from our industry and local businesses. Thank you.\nTo conclude the event, the Shed Shakers provided some foot stompin\u2019 music that lured many off of the chairs and onto the dance floor.\nThe river tends to bring many people together and create an environment of appreciation and celebration for each other and nature. This event was no exception. A big thank you to everyone who supported the event ~ volunteers, area businesses, Wet Planet staff and all who attended. All proceeds will go to American Whitewater and Friends of the White Salmon ~ without these two organizations, the White Salmon River wouldn\u2019t be flowing free.\nWet Planet is proud to host this event year after year . . . we\u2019re already planning for 2013!",

        "raw_content": "\"PPNZ\" redirects here. For for the New Zealand political party, see Pirate Party of New Zealand.\nDamian Vaughan\nChris Caddick\nrecordedmusic.co.nz\nRecorded Music NZ (formerly Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ)) is a non-profit trade association of record producers, distributors and recording artists who sell music in New Zealand. Membership of Recorded Music NZ is open to any record label operating in New Zealand, and is dominated by the American and UK owned \"Big Three\" (Sony, Universal and Warner Music Group). Recorded Music NZ has approximately 56 affiliate members.\nOfficial New Zealand Music Chart\nHeatseekers chart\nPrior to June 2013, the association was known as the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ). RIANZ and PPNZ Music Licensing were merged and renamed Recorded Music NZ. [1]\nRecorded Music NZ offers services under three areas: Member Services (the New Zealand Music Awards, the Official NZ Top40 Chart and direct services to artists and labels), Music Licensing (carried out through PPNZ Music Licensing) and Pro Music services regarding copyright protection and corporate affairs. [2]\nThe association began as the New Zealand Federation of Phonographic Industry (NZFPI). In 1972 it was renamed to the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ). In 2013, following a merger with PPNZ Music Licensing, it was renamed to Recorded Music NZ. [3] [4]\nMain article: New Zealand Music Awards\nThe New Zealand Music Awards are conferred annually by Recorded Music NZ for outstanding artistic and technical achievements in the recording field. The awards are one of the biggest awards that a group or artist can receive in music in New Zealand. The awards have been presented every year since 1965.\nMain article: Official New Zealand Music Chart\nThe Official New Zealand Music Chart is the weekly New Zealand top forty singles and albums charts, issued weekly by Recorded Music NZ (previously known as RIANZ). The chart also includes the top twenty New Zealand singles and albums and top ten compilation albums. All charts are compiled from data of both physical and digital sales from music retailers in New Zealand. [5]\nAn additional \"Heatseekers\" chart was first published on the chart dated 5 October 2015. The chart consists of the top ten singles outside of (and that have not previously charted inside) the top forty, and has the same rules and criteria as the Top 40 Singles Chart. [6] Once a title makes an appearance inside the top forty at any point, it becomes ineligible to appear in the Heatseekers chart. [7]\nAs RIANZ, Recorded Music NZ was instrumental in attempting to introduce a possible version of Section 92A Copyright Act. The amendment would have required ISPs in New Zealand to disconnect users accused but not convicted of downloading copyrighted material \u2013 the first law of its type in the world. [8] The amendment and consequently the RIANZ's actions have been widely criticized. ISPs described the law as \"a deeply flawed law that undermines the fundamental rights and simply will not work\", [9] while thousands of artists have joined the Campaign for Fair Copyright voicing their \"disappointment\" [10] at the RIANZ stance.

The research methodology and study was implemented through the Williams Institute and the Blue Diamond Society (BDS).\nThe survey utilized Nepal\u2019s inclusion of a third gender category in its national census, the first such attempt in the world. The survey reveals that LGBT people in Nepal continue to face a wide range of obstacles as individuals and as a community. These challenges include widespread bullying in schools, lack of protection from discrimination by employers, paucity of programming to address the reproductive health needs of lesbians, and the lack of sensitive HIV healthcare for transgender women and gay men who are at exponentially higher risk of HIV infection than the general population.",

        "raw_content": "Recently a bunch of Oswego students fell for phishing scams and gave a bunch of spammers their passwords. This has resulted in Oswego getting on a bunch of blacklists. Apparently this includes the account my mail is forwarding to until I move into my dorm. This explains how I missed some important mail dated August 6th which I didn't see until today. Unfortunately because it's Sunday I can't call to fix it right away. Since the situation is laid out in the email I sent to housing, I'm just including the text of the email behind the cut.\nHello. My name is (Legal.Name), and my student number is (#########). I am technically a returning student, but under some unusual circumstances -- I last attended Oswego in 1993.\nUp until recently my move-in date in myhousing.oswego.edu has been August 28th, a Friday. I called in late July or early August to make sure this was correct; I believe I spoke with (Name). Upon hearing that I'd been away for 16 years, she assured me the move-in date would be the 28th, so among other things I could get my student ID and get re-acquainted with campus.\nOn August 6th I got email from reslife but my spam trap caught it and I didn't see it until today. It said that returning students could not move in before August 30th, and when I checked myhousing the move-in date had changed to the 30th.\nIs there any way I could move in on the 28th as originally stated? I had already made plane reservations from my home in Albuquerque, NM, based on the earlier dates, and my husband was supposed to go home on the 29th after helping me move in. Also, campus has changed significantly since I attended, and I had hoped to use the weekend to get reacquainted. Finally, since the 30th is a Sunday, I believe the student ID office will be closed, and I've been told I couldn't check in without one.\nThank you in advance for any help. I'm looking forward to returning to Oswego and finally getting my degree.\n-Cat (Johnson (when it was all female) and Pathfinder (when it was open) alumnus, slated to move into (this year's dorm))\nI'll phone them tomorrow before we leave for the airport if they haven't replied yet.

        "raw_content": "For more than 30 years, Myra Cree, the recipient of the 2006 National Aboriginal Achievement Award in the Media and Communications category, made outstanding contributions as a radio and TV host, and was an inspiring role model.\nMyra was nominated for the award by Canada\u2019s foremost Aboriginal violinist, Tara-Louise Montour of the Kahnawake First Nation and her mother, Vanda Intini. Cree knew she would receive this award and was able to accept it several weeks before passing away on Oct. 13. When the award was officially and publicly presented months later, it was the first time that the National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation had honored a recipient posthumously.\nCree\u2019s daughter, Myra Cree-Bernier went to Vancouver to accept the award on her mother\u2019s behalf.\nMyra Cree was born in 1937 into the Mohawk community of Oka-Kanesatake, 53 kilometres west of Montreal, Que. surrounded by tall pine trees and green cliffs overlooking the blue waters of the Lake of Two Mountains. She was the adored daughter of elected Grand Chief Ernest Cree and Georgiana Johnson and granddaughter of traditional Grand Chief Timothy Ahiron.\n\u201cMy mother was always very proud to be Mohawk,\u201d said Myra Cree-Bernier.\nMyra, an only child, spoke English first then French. Since there was no Mohawk curriculum in the 1940s, young Myra learned only a very small amount of her Native language. She attended Oka\u2019s French elementary school, but it was \u201cin her adolescence that she truly fell in love with the French language,\u201d explained Myra\u2019s companion for 36 years, Solange Gagnon.\nAfter her graduation in 1958, she taught for two years. \u201cThat\u2019s when she realized that her favourite part of teaching was recess,\u201d Gagnon gently chuckled. She realized that her talent lay with words, especially the spoken word. She turned her career towards journalism and found her true lifelong path.\nCree encouraged young people, including her own grandchildren, to educate themselves, to find interests which make them happy, to develop their talents and to have the courage to follow their paths. Myra encouraged those around her to be the best they could be, to strive for more, to exceed themselves. Her idea was that if you are truly good at something and enjoy it, it will bring you somewhere good.\nCree was first heard over the radio waves on CKRS in Jonqui\u00e8re in the early 1960s. One year later, she joined Sherbrooke\u2019s CHLT TV station using the pseudonym, Myra Morgan. She set in motion a lasting reputation for her generous spirit, her elegance and her rigorous work habits.\nIn 1963, she married Jacques Bernier, a lawyer, with whom she had four children\u2014Myra, Jacques, Martin and Isabel\u2014in as many years. \u201cHaving been an only child, she was eager to have a large family of her own,\u201d explained Gagnon who understood that since Myra\u2019s Mohawk traditions were matriarchal, her greatest source of pride was her family.\nIn 1969, Cree was in a car accident in which she lost her husband. She was 32 years old and had four young children to raise. In 1970, Solange Gagnon, a scientific journalist, and Cree bought a house together in the community and formed a close-knit family. Two years after the accident, Myra bravely returned to work at a time when very few women were working full-time.\nLifelong friend and Radio-Canada colleague, Monique Giroux remembered how \u201cMyra lived through some very hard moments yet she was strong enough to go ahead. She started all over again and built a remarkable career.\u201d\nFrom 1973 on, she became a mainstay at Radio-Canada, CBC\u2019s French-language network. As part of Actualit\u00e9 24 in 1974 and the T\u00e9l\u00e9journal in 1975, she became the first woman in the history of Radio-Canada to host the evening news.\nMyra Cree\u2019s work helped to blaze a brand new path for women in the media. She became one of the first women in North America, in fact, to anchor the evening news, along with Jan Tennant for CBC\u2019s The National out of Toronto followed in 1976 by Barbara Walters on ABC in the United States.\nYves Bergeron was assistant producer at Radio-Canada when he first met Myra.\n\u201cShe was very confidant in her talent as a woman, as the first one on the air in 1974. She was so confidant, in fact, and knew what she was good at and what was good for her, that she didn\u2019t even do the standard audition for the position and she got the job.\u201d\nBergeron recalled how \u201cshe had an exceptional ability to see things from the outside and be very sure of herself. She could uphold her opinions and yet express them in such a manner as not to offend anyone.\u201d\nFrom 1978 to 1984, she ran the religious affairs magazine, Second Regard. Her warm voice, poise and clever turn of phrase caught the interest and deep admiration of her viewers throughout the city of Montreal, as well as the entire province of Quebec.\nBright and witty, she loved to play with words. She was also an avid reader. \u201cHer favourite pastimes were crossword puzzles and Scrabble. You wouldn\u2019t believe how many puzzles she did every day,\u201d said Gagnon.\nIn 1990 her community became the heart of the Oka crisis. Cree humorously termed it the Golf War since the summer standoff occurred at a pine forest near the Native cemetery, targeted to become an additional nine holes for the adjacent golf course.\n\u201cThe shock of these events lead to a sort of awakening for Myra,\u201d explained Gagnon. \u201cChildhood memories came flooding back.\u201d\nAlways proud of her Mohawk roots and a non-believer in violence, Myra helped found the Movement for Justice and Peace at Oka-Kahnesatake to bridge the gap between Native and non-Native people in the Montreal region.\nMyra Cree\u2019s daughter, Myra, explained \u201cThere were about 20 of us in the movement when it was founded and my mother became president. She believed in developing peaceful ways of resolving problems.\u201d\n\u201cCulture was very important to Myra. She was a citizen of her community and also of the world,\u201d said Gagnon. Myra believed the future lay in cultural diversity and in opening up as many horizons as possible so as not to be limited. A woman of integrity, Myra\u2019s beliefs formed an integral part of who she was and how she lived. If she believed in freedom, then she lived in freedom.\nAndr\u00e9 Dudemaine, Innu friend and founding member of Land Insights, an organization which encourageed and promoted Aboriginal culture and talent as part of the annual Montreal First Peoples\u2019 Festival, felt that Myra believed in merging traditional Mohawk government with more modern forms. Dudemaine felt that Myra was very proud to be a descendant of a traditional chief and an elected one. Blending the best of both worlds would lead to a unique and effective Mohawk government.\nMyra Cree\u2019s daughter, felt her mother\u2019s greatest involvement in her community lay in a deep commitment to improving local governance, promoting peace and justice, fighting organized crime and encouraging dialogue between members of the community as well as between Natives and non-Natives.\nWishing she could have spoken more of her own native language, Myra supported the practice of teaching Mohawk in Kanesatake schools. In 1991, she edited Native Languages of Quebec, a book that heightened interest in language preservation. In it, she responded to the question \u2018Is there a future for the Mohawk language?\u2019\nShe wrote that she would like Mohawk to be valued again and to be spoken more especially by young Mohawks. Reviving Mohawk in school would prevent cultural erosion and the consequent gradual extinction of th proud nation which had played such an important part in Canada\u2019s history.\nFrom 1985 until her retirement in 2002, Myra Cree worked on radio shows for Radio-Canada. She launched evening cultural programs, L'Embarquement pour si tard and Cree et chuchotement.\n\u201cMyra was appreciated by everyone,\u201d said Bergeron. \u201cSo much so, that exceptionally everyone from the network was at her retirement party.\u201d\nHer brilliant career brought her professional recognition and public affection. In 1997, Cree won the Humour Prize for Radio Montreal. The Quebec Federation of Professional Journalists awarded her with the Judith Jasmin Prize for outstanding work in radio-journalism in 1981. Cree became a Knight of the Ordre national du Qu\u00e9bec, the province\u2019s highest award in 1995. In 2004, she became a member of the Order of Quebec and was also awarded the Paul-Gilson Grand Prize from Public Radio Stations of French-speaking communities for Il \u00e9tait une fois.\nMyra\u2019s life and work inspired another Radio-Canada radio host from Oka, Monique Giroux. \u201cShe really was a role model for me. Those who were fortunate enough to have met her were fortunate indeed. I sincerely believe that,\u201d continued Giroux who admired Myra\u2019s integrity and loyalty.\n\u201cI met her when I was 14. She helped me discover the world, the importance of self-respect and being respected, how to see the beauty in life, how to discern good from bad. She had strong beliefs and stood solidly by them.\n\u201cIn fact, with her poise and eloquence, I think she could have been an excellent ambassador.\u201d\nCree was active within many organizations. Cree hosted segments of Montreal\u2019s First Peoples\u2019 film and video festival starting in 1988. In 1995, she co-chaired the campaign of the 25th anniversary of Recherches am\u00e9rindienne au Qu\u00e9bec, a Quebec edited magazine devoted to Native studies in North America. She served as president and spokesperson for Land InSights (Terres en Vues) and worked hard to obtain grants for its projects.\nLand Insights\u2019 Dudemaine explained \u201cMs Cree had been Land InSights\u2019 board president since the founding of our organization. Myra was a dependable ally, a sincere friend and an inspired spokeswoman. Her death is a painful loss for Aboriginal peoples throughout Canada.\u201d\n\u201cMyra transmitted her strong convictions with a lot of humour in very sophisticated language. Her deep in the guts passion yet very artistic way of expression marked Myra\u2019s personality,\u201d said Dudemaine. She could be very strong, even intimidating, if necessary to stand up for something in which she truly believed, such as obtaining grants for Aboriginal art. Yet underneath lay a warm heart and her ever-present sense of humour.\n\u201cShe made us laugh so much and that was important. Whenever we found a clever turn of phrase or word, she would give us a dollar. But if she gave us two dollars, wow, then you would be really happy because you knew you\u2019d been really amazing!\u201d laughed Dudemaine.\nCree had the ability to make each person feel important and to turn any event into a great experience. \u201cI remember the first screening for the film festival. We had almost no financial support and we were very small. There were maybe 10 of us in the room,\u201d remembered Dudemaine. \u201cBut when Myra arrived as master of ceremonies, the artists were so happy. Many of them had lived bad experiences before but she treated them with such honor as if we were at the Academy Awards. It was fantastic to see Myra giving them all this recognition.\u201d\nQuebec Native Women\u2019s President, Ellen Gabriel, a Mohawk from Myra\u2019s community, stated: \u201cMyra Cree was a strong role model for all Aboriginal women in the province. She gave her support to QNW and she carried the voices of many people of her community through her involvement in the Movement for Justice and Peace at Oka-Kanesatake, created during the summer of 1990.\u201d Gabriel added \u201cIt is an important loss for the community but also for all Aboriginal women. Her work at CBC modified the representation of Aboriginal people in the media.\u201d\nMyra Cree was a trailblazer in many ways. \u201cHer tenacity as an Aboriginal woman in the predominantly non-Aboriginal, non-female world of media was unprecedented,\u201d said Gabriel. \u201cShe really was a true role model. Here was a Mohawk woman in a French-speaking milieu who never forgot her identity and her small community.\u201d\nMyra found out in June 2005 that she had lung and bone cancer. Four months later, surrounded by all her family and her very closest friends, according to her wishes, she passed away at home. She is buried in the same cemetery as her husband and parents.\nThe Quebec National Assembly paid tribute to her with speeches by Michel L\u00e9tourneau, Geoffrey Kelley and Janvier Grondin.\nBernard Cleary, Native of the Innu nation and Member of Parliament for Louis-St.Laurent, spoke in Ottawa\u2019s House of Commons saying she was \u201ca great lady, an ambassador for Aboriginal values, culture and language. I had the pleasure of working with her on many occasions. Each time, I saw how proud Quebeckers, all of us, were of Myra Cree.\u201d",

        "title": "BRODBECK: Manitoba\u2019s GHG emissions stable since 2013 | Winnipeg Sun",
        "raw_content": "BRODBECK: Manitoba's GHG emissions stable since 2013\nManitoba\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions were largely unchanged in 2016 from the previous year, according to the federal government\u2019s National Inventory Report released this week.\nManitoba emitted 20.9 million tonnes of GHGs in 2016, up slightly from 20.8 million in 2015. Despite a growing population and steady economic growth, Manitoba\u2019s emission levels haven\u2019t changed much since 2013 when levels were 20.9 million. Which means per capita, the province\u2019s emissions have fallen somewhat from 2013 to 2016.\nAccording to the report, Manitoba\u2019s emissions are up 3.5% from 2005 to 2016, while Canada overall saw a slight decline of 3.8% during that period. Emissions vary widely from province to province, depending on size, economic structure and industry. Oil producing provinces like Alberta have by far the highest emissions. Although all provinces, including have-not jurisdictions like those in the Maritimes \u2013 where emissions have been falling \u2013 benefit economically from those resource-rich provinces.\nManitoba is about middle of the pack. Without a significant oil producing industry and with clean, renewable hydroelectricity, there isn\u2019t much Manitoba can do to make deep cuts to emissions in a short period of time, not without hurting the economy.\nTransportation is probably Manitoba\u2019s biggest opportunity as it\u2019s one of the two major contributors to GHG emissions across the country, along with oil extraction and production. But cutting transportation emissions in any significant way is no easy task given the shortage of alternatives to gasoline and diesel combustion vehicles.\nThere are some low-lying fruits to reducing emissions like electrifying Winnipeg\u2019s transit system. But even that would take years to do. The infrastructure and cost structure still isn\u2019t there for people to switch seamlessly to electric vehicles, although there will likely be some opportunities in that area down the road.\nThere are areas like improved methane capturing at solid waste sites that Manitoba can do better on. And there are opportunities in agriculture to reduce emissions, but those also have to be balanced with the realities of Manitoba\u2019s economy.\nAcross the country, agriculture only made up about 10% of Canada\u2019s 704 million tonnes of emissions and has barely increased since 2005.\nOne thing is for sure, the Pallister government\u2019s $25-a-tonne carbon tax will do little to nothing to reduce emissions. As part of its plan to reduce emissions, the Tories climate change plan claims the carbon tax \u2013 which government is expected to charge later this year \u2013 will reduce emissions by about one million tonnes from 2018 to 2022. That\u2019s about 200,000 tonnes a year. However, they have never released any credible evidence to show how charging motorists a 5.3-cent per litre tax would result in people driving less or switching to more fuel-efficient vehicles. That\u2019s because the tax is far too low to have any impact on driving behaviour.\nNor has government produced any evidence to show that charging people 4.7 cents per cubic meter of natural gas will change how people heat their homes. It\u2019s highly unlikely the tax will cause people to turn their heat down, insulate their homes better or switch to alternative heating sources.\nFor the most part, the carbon tax is simply a new tax that will generate a net $95 million for provincial coffers on annual basis \u2013 even after government\u2019s proposed income-tax cuts.\nThe province does list a number of other GHG emission reduction initiatives in its climate change plan that it\u2019s \u201cconsidering.\u201d\nBut most of those are relatively modest proposals, like a 5% biodiesel mandate government says will reduce emissions by 360,000 to 431,000 tonnes over five years, or 86,000 tonnes a year at the most.\nA proposed organics diversion plan could reduce emissions by 54,000 tonnes a year. And a heavy-duty diesel truck retrofitting rebate could cut emissions by 30,000 tonnes, the climate report says.\nAt the end of the day, there are small things Manitoba can do to reduce emissions in the short term and more significant ones over the longer term, especially in transportation. But any proposals to cut emissions by a significant amount over the next few years in Manitoba to help meet national targets, like reducing emissions by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030, are pure fantasy. It\u2019s not going to happen",

        "title": "The Benefits of Fruits in Weight Loss - Woman",
        "raw_content": "Vary the colors of the fruits you eat to get the most nutrients in your diet.\nDon't avoid fruits if you're trying to lose weight, since these nutritious foods are beneficial during weight loss. Eating fruit will help you get enough of the essential nutrients in your diet, which can be difficult to do when you are cutting calories. Fruits may also contain substances that help you lose weight.\nDon't feel guilty about eating fruit if you are trying to lose weight. A study published in \"Nutrition\" in 2010 found that increasing the amount of fruit you eat may help you lose more weight. This wasn't the case with vegetables, and the study took into account differences in activity level, age and the amount of fat, protein and carbs consumed.\nEating foods that contain more fiber, including fruits, vegetables and whole grains, helps slow down the emptying of your stomach after meals so you feel full for a longer time. This can make it easier for you to stay within your recommended daily calories for weight loss. Women should consume at least 25 grams of fiber per day. Good fruit options include raspberries, with 8 grams of fiber per cup; pears, with 5.5 grams per fruit; and apples, with 4.4 grams per fruit. Eat the skin of the fruit if it is edible, because a lot of the fiber is concentrated in the skin.\nFoods that are low in energy density, like many fruits, can be helpful if you're trying to lose weight. These foods allow you to eat more while consuming fewer calories so you don't get as hungry between meals. Following a diet consisting mainly of foods that are low in energy density can help you lose up to 50 percent more weight, compared to a diet consisting of more foods that are high in energy density, according to a study published in \"Obesity Research\" in June 2005.\nIncreasing Fruit Consumption\nThinking about what you can eat instead of what you can't eat makes it easier to lose weight since you won't feel as deprived. Focusing on increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables you eat while getting fewer calories overall may help you lose weight. A study published in \"Obesity Research\" in March 2001 found that advising people to eat more fruits and vegetables as part of a reduced-calorie diet was more effective for weight loss than advising people to eat fewer foods that are high in fat or sugar. The added fruits and veggies displaced some of the less-healthy foods in the diets of people participating in the study.\nEating too much of any food, including fruits, may cause weight gain. When you eat more fruits you need to cut down on other less-healthy foods to keep from going over your calories for the day. This may be easier if you eat your fruits and vegetables before you eat other foods that are high in calories, because the fruits and veggies will fill you up and leave less room for the high-calorie foods.\nUniversity of Kentucky Extension: The Edible Rainbow\nMayoClinic.com: Chart of High-fiber Foods\nObesity Research: Provision of Foods Differing in Energy Density Affects Long-Term Weight Loss\nNutrition Reviews: What Can Intervention Studies Tell Us about the Relationship between Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and Weight Management?\nObesity Research: Increasing Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Decreasing Fat and Sugar Intake in Families at Risk for Childhood Obesity\nWhat Is the Daily Value for Carbohydrates?\nFruit That Supports Healthy Digestion\nFruits to Avoid With High Tyramines\nList of High-Satiety Foods\nDairy Products and Weight Loss\nFruits That Help You Gain Weight\nFacts With Carbohydrates and Tomatoes\nList of Sugary Vegetables\nThe Health Benefits of Grapes & Blueberries\nFoods to Eat That Help Promote Weight Loss",

With 190 offices in the UK and over 1,000 worldwide, its vision is to become the UK\u2019s most admired care company through changing the face of ageing.\nHome Instead Senior Care\u2019s 10,000 CAREGivers and support staff, serve clients throughout the UK. Its two key challenges were retaining CAREGivers, with staff shortages across the industry, and ensuring every client has a great experience.\nSince 2013, WorkBuzz has coordinated Home Instead Senior Care\u2019s PEAQ (Pursuing Excellence through Advancing Quality) Programme. Every CAREGiver and Client are invited to provide anonymous feedback on their experience.\nTo help maximise the CAREGiver response rate, during \u2018PEAQ Week\u2019 balloons and PEAQ branding appear in each office, with a PEAQ Champion, who reminds staff how they have listened to and act on their feedback from the previous survey. In 2018, this contributed to 87% of support staff and 69% of CAREGivers participating.\nWorking with WorkBuzz provides us with a huge amount of insight into our operation, helping us to improve CAREGiver engagement and retention, and client satisfaction.\u201d\nNationally, the feedback is analysed and key recommendations provided. For example, we found that as offices expand beyond 40 CAREGivers, employee engagement and client advocacy levels both declined. The root cause was additional communication barriers, particularly between CAREGivers and office staff, who coordinate busy care schedules. Home Instead Senior Care quickly devised an overall action plan, identifying and sharing best practice to help offices mitigate this and supporting larger offices maintain high standards.\nSince 2013, participation and the results have steadily increased. In 2018, 95% of CAREGivers said they were proud to work for Home Instead Senior Care and 96% of said they would recommend it. This has been closely correlated with business KPIs \u2013 20%+ annual growth and a record number of \u201cOutstanding\u201d ratings by the Care Quality Commission regulator.\nIn 2016, we were asked to mirror the success of the PEAQ programme in the UK, by rolling this out in Ireland.",

        "raw_content": "What is the Best Resume Format?\nChoosing a professional resume writing service is an easy way (not the cheap one though) of getting a good resume. Although it takes time to find a reliable company and place an order, the entire process still saves a lot time and energy, compared to writing a resume on your own. But there are those who prefer doing it on their own rather than having other people do it on their behalf. One of the most common questions such people ask is \u201cWhat is the best resume format?\u201d Because resume writing assumes tailoring the document for each and every job opening, such flexibility allows changing the format of resume in order to increase one\u2019s chances on getting invited for a job interview. But the question is whether there is a resume format that is considered the most effective (at least in the eyes of the majority of those responsible for hiring decisions).\nResume Format to Choose\nWhile there are some debates about the use of different resume formats, it seems one specific format is favorite among most HR managers \u2013 reverse-chronological layout. This resume format assumes listing professional experience (employment history) starting from the most recent jobs. In other words, under the work experience section you should start with the employments you have just ended. This is dictated by the desire of hiring authorities to know what candidates were doing recently. Imagine yourself as a hiring manager: would you be more interested in what a candidate did a month ago or 20 years ago? The answer is obvious. What one did 20 years ago is considered an outdated experience most employers are not even interested in. Besides, a reverse-chronological resume format allows hiring authorities to better navigate through the content of the document. Some companies are even suspicious about the candidates when their resumes are written in a different format.\nBut reverse-chronological layout isn\u2019t the only option job seekers have. Some use a chronological layout which assumes listing jobs starting from the first one and ending with the most recent employment. This is a bad choice today because employers have to look for the information they need (most recent jobs). Lastly, there is a functional or skills-based resume format. When job seekers use this layout, they basically focus on their skills rather than experience. In a functional format, skills and accomplishments are not tied to specific jobs as they are listed under a separate section. This often puzzles some HRs as they try to figure out which skills are related to which employments.\nWith that being said, it is obvious that the best resume format is a reverse-chronological one. However, job seekers should be aware that choosing the right format doesn\u2019t guarantee they will be invited for an interview. The thing is that most job seekers submit resumes written in a reverse-chronological format, only few of them get a chance to be invited for an interview. Therefore, while the best resume format can help you organize information in the right way, it will not secure a job interview. One needs to work hard to make sure that resume addresses specific needs of a potential employer by providing relevant value proposition.\nIt is also important to remember that work experience isn\u2019t the only section listed in a resume. There are other blocks of information that play an important role in generating interest of hiring managers. Education, trainings, major accomplishments, memberships and affiliations, technical proficiency \u2013 these are all things that contribute to the overall success of a resume. It is a mistake to concentrate only on work experience; other things sometimes are more important than they seem they are. At least for those making hiring decisions.",

        "raw_content": "Similarly, it is easy as pie to take a dollar value established for an agency and convert it to a multiple of anything your choosing. But trying to apply an arbitrary multiple to express the value of an agency is as risky as going the wrong way on a one-way street. It \u201cmight\u201d work \u2013 or it might kill you!\nRegardless of how often the appraisers in our industry try to correct this misconception, we continue to encounter agents who try to oversimplify the value of their or other agencies in terms of Multiples (of commission, of revenue, of earnings, of EBITDA).\nWe try to explain that you can\u2019t define the value of any agency or book of business using a common multiple any more than trying to come up with a common dollar value for a house by multiplying its square footage by a consistent number. By using the same multiple of square footage, a house in run-down condition will generate an overly generous value while a custom house of the same square footage would generate a much lower value than justified by its condition.\nSimilarly, you can\u2019t or shouldn\u2019t define the value of any agency by any \u2018rule of thumb\u2019 multiple even if those multiples properly translated the defined value of the specific agencies applicable to those transactions.\nI have spent an entire career debunking the myth of \u201cmultiples\u201d (of anything) as a way of fairly determining the value of insurance businesses (and most other businesses, by the way). It is always easy to express a value in terms of a multiple as a point of convenience on the back end of a transaction. However, the reality is that any prudent buyer is going to calculate the potential earnings that derive from the existing business based on the trending of that business into the future. Whether formally through a valuation or informally through some spreadsheet calculations, the valuer is going to determine whether or not an acquired agency will throw off sufficient cash-flow and earnings to pay for itself. What sense does it make to buy an agency if it\u2019s NOT going to eventually pay for itself? And if it takes too long to return a buyer\u2019s investment, why buy it at all?\nA buyer would be foolish to pay 2X revenue or 5X EBIDTA or any other form of cost basis for a business without identifying what the prospective earnings (after taxes) will be over an \u201cacceptable\u201d period of time \u2013 that is the amount of future earnings the buyer is willing to give up in order to acquire the business. The reason he is willing to give up some future earnings is to have the long term financial benefit of the business and the additional income it will accrue from economies of scale enjoyed in the acquisition.\nIs it greedy for a buyer to purchase a business for one year of the business earnings? Is it unrealistic for a seller to believe that a buyer will give up the value of his earnings for an inordinate number of years just to buy the business in the first place? Somewhere between \u2018greed\u2019 and \u2018unrealistic expectations\u2019 lies the correct value of the business, what a willing buyer and willing seller agree to exchange in order to transfer ownership of the future earnings of that business. The key is to understand how much those future earnings will be (estimated based on known history and expected future growth and expenses) given the circumstances of the purchase. That is what a valuation is supposed to accomplish \u2013 identify the future earnings potential of the business under the circumstances of the specific transaction.\nThis is how we calculate value including that of the selling agency in the valuation that you have been sent. It is not magic or arbitrary. We calculate the historical growth and review the actual expense load of the business. We project the future growth based on historical perspective (and the expectations of the association that we recommended) and deduct the expenses that would transfer to the Buyer with the book of business. The tax load is calculated and the Net Earnings are cast for the next five years. We then calculate the Risk Factors that are associated with the achievement of that business flow and \u201cdiscount\u201d the value by a discount rate built on that risk rate (15% in this case).\nThe result is a dollar amount for value of the Seller. And that\u2019s why there are three calculations in the valuation, one if the selling agency is maintained in house, one if it is sold without further involvement or participation and one (applicable to Seller\u2019s transaction) that involves a takeover of the agency with on-going association that will result in mutual continued benefit at both organizations. You can certainly take any of those three values and convert them back to a multiple of revenues, EBITDA or a multiple of the number of chairs in the building \u2013 but understand that those multiples are simply a matter of convenience for expression of the value, not an accurate representation of the value of agencies that would differ from the Selling Agency or from the Buyer. That\u2019s why the Buyer may have been accurately offered 3X for his agency and declined. The offer may have been fair from the potential buyer\u2019s standpoint but the agency owner recognized that the intrinsic as well as future earnings potential of his agency makes even a 3X offer unsatisfactory compared to his own future earnings potential in the business.\nWhen acting as an Expert Witness on agency valuation, I often use the example of two agencies, side-by-side, each with $1 Million of revenue from the same type of business (PL, CL, etc.). The first was $3 MM five years ago and is manned by owner and staff in their 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s with a client base of the same ages. The second is owned by a couple of 30 yr. old\u2019s. Their staff is in their 20\u2019s and 30\u2019s. They started five years ago from scratch and have built their business to $1 MM in revenue in five years. Would you pay the same multiple for both? This simple example illustrates the danger of any form of multiple formulas for the calculation of value of an agency. Whether you use my valuation or your own calculations, please be prudent in your identification of value of the Seller Agency in order to avoid \u2018cheating\u2019 either the buyer or the seller. The best transaction is one in which a valued asset is purchased for a price that is a fair representation of the future earnings of the business over a reasonable period of time (defined by each of buyer and seller and compared). If my suspicion is correct (and I\u2019ve been doing this for a long time), the value of the Selling Agency is as expressed in our valuation.\nWhether you use Agency Consulting Group, Inc., another firm or choose to do it yourself, make sure you step through the exercise of identifying the after-tax earnings that you could enjoy if you purchased another agency or book of business. Identify how long you would be willing to give up those earnings in order to regain the investment that you are spending to get the agency. The amount derived from this exercise is the appropriate maximum value you should establish for the agency in question. Then \u2013 and only then \u2013 should you redefine that dollar amount back to a simplistic multiple (of whatever you feel is important) as an expression of a value multiple. A retiring seller may want to boast to friends what type of multiple he got for his agency without ever telling them how much he actually received.\n\u2190 Setting Up A \u2018Fail-Safe\u2019 Partnership\nIs it time to outsource your writing? \u2192",

        "raw_content": "TV Shows that started out good and toward the end it changed totally\nAuthor Topic: TV Shows that started out good and toward the end it changed totally (Read 1704 times)\nDigital Technology is a Hoax\nRe: TV Shows that started out good and toward the end it changed totally\nI recently watched the inaugural episode of SNL and it pretty much sucked.\nGeorge Carlin was the host and it's not that he wasn't funny that night but they just had him do some of his regular material (that which was safe for television) at three points during the show and then he would introduce the musical act.\nCarlin wasn't in any of the sketches, most of which were pretty lame anyway.\nIt took them a few episodes to hit their stride.\nPretty early on they changed the set and started including the guest host in the sketches. The Muppets Land of Gorch segment was dropped after the first season. Too bad. It was usually the best part of the show.\nYeah, the pilot is as representative an ep as Dr. No is a representative James Bond film.\nThe Muppets sketches really dragged down the pacing of the show.\nQuote from: Scott5114 on February 10, 2019, 02:53:14 AM\nFor example, there are episodes of The Price is Right that Bob Barker has blocked from being rerun, because they gave away fur clothing, which runs counter to his reputation as an animal-rights advocate (he hadn't yet adopted the issue, and probably didn't have so much clout, in the early years of the show).\nAnd yet he has no trouble at all with them rerunning the eps where he would make female contestants reach into his trousers pocket for the $50 they won for making a perfect bid.\nWhenever I've seen old SNL footage from the early years that people say was so funny, I always question their sense of humor because most of it never seems all that hilarious. Worthy of a mild chuckle, maybe, but certainly not side-splittingly funny. I've come to suspect it's one of those things where you had to be there because the material was a product of its time. That is, SNL tries to be funny by either skewering current events or pushing the boundaries of what's allowed on TV so as to be edgy. Thing is, what's \"edgy\" in 1977 is bound to be totally different from what's \"edgy\" in 2019. I remember sometime back in the late 1980s or early 1990s when the FCC decided it was OK for them to say the word \"penis\" on the air, so of course SNL immediately tried to work it in wherever possible that week. At the time that sort of thing was shocking or surprising, but nowadays its no big deal. Stuff that depends on being edgy in order to be funny isn't likely to seem as funny when it's no longer edgy.\nI suppose a similar analogy might be the Supreme Court case from 1971 or so where a guy had been prosecuted for obscenity for wearing a jacket that said \"Fuck the draft.\" The Supreme Court overturned the conviction on First Amendment grounds. When my constitutional law class discussed that case in 1996, the professor noted how to people of my and my classmates' age that word probably seems \"ordinary\" and a \"standard part of everyday conversation,\" such that the prosecution would seem bizarre, whereas in 1971 it was scandalous and \"THE vilest curse word\" such that a lot of people were upset at the Supreme Court's ruling.\nI guess it'll be a while before they do a skit similar to the one featuring Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor.\n//www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9TS1pRmajU\nYou sure that's Chevy Chase and not a Virginia politician?\nQuote from: 1995hoo on February 10, 2019, 12:21:57 PM\nHazel, starring Shirley Booth, was great until it moved from ABC to NBC. Apparently NBC did not like Don Defore and Whitney Blake so they had the producers fire them and brought in replacements. The show got its attraction from the way Hazel and Mr. B got along as they had a love hate relationship (mainly with Mr. B as Hazel was easy going) as Hazel would always do something that at first Mr. Baxter disliked, but then Mr. Baxter would then see that it was all for the good. Without the Baxters the show lost its appeal.\nWelcome Back Kotter in the last season was not the same without Mr. Kotter. In real life Gabe Kaplan had issues with the producers and that is why the Sweathogs were solo a lot and became self contained as in the first two seasons Kotter always solved the issues that were created. Also to note John Travolta became a recurring star in the last season due to him making it big on screen particularly with Saturday Night Fever at the time. So the show lost two of its leads, but I must say even with the other Sweathogs they did pull it off.\nThe only reason why Welcome Back Kotter got cancelled was because the actors in real life were going into their 30's and all thought they were too old. However, James Komack did get Horshack married in the penultimate episode to Mary Johnson so that the series finale could be a back door pilot for a spin off of the show featuring the lives of Horshack and Mary working in her uncle's business. Apparently, ABC did not pick it up so it ended with them just married and the two working together and nothing about the lives of the rest of the gang.\ntexaskdog\nagreed, which the early cast was funny at the time it was pretty dated. I much prefer the early 90s cast, so talented, and everything pretty much has sucked since then.\nQuote from: texaskdog on February 09, 2019, 02:50:41 PM\nQuote from: KeithE4Phx on February 06, 2019, 12:11:07 PM\nM*A*S*H went downhill after about Season 6, when it became The Alan Alda Show for all intents and purposes. Were it not for Harry Morgan's great performance as Col. Potter, I really don't think it would have lasted more than another year or two. He was the somewhat poltiically-incorrect anchor that held it together.\nThe first 3 with McLean were pretty good.\nAnd then his plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spiraled in. There were no survivors.\nIncluding his career\nQuote from: SP Cook on February 06, 2019, 01:41:47 PM\n- Roseanne. Originally a part of that era's trend of making a show out of a stand up comic's act (Drew Carey, Tim Allen, etc) it devolved into a strident outlet for political invective.\nThe show was always \"Roseanne demolishes poorly-constructed strawmen.\" Go back and watch the pilot if you don't believe me.\nThat said, the show did decline as years went on. And then fell off a cliff with the final season (pre-reboot, and with the exception of maybe the first 2 episodes, and the last 4, where they did ground stuff in what came before) as they do random unwatchable \"Roseanne and Jackie play dress-up\" idea of the week - sort of like when a band becomes experimental, but seeing the experiments that didn't work as well - which was all of them in this case!\nIt was saying 'please stop us making this show'* - I think they wanted to give up, but then had to do one more year for contractual reasons, so they decided to simply have fun on set, and not care about whether it made good TV.\n*Like Family Guy for about 7 or 8 years now...\nQuote from: english si on February 12, 2019, 06:18:38 AM\nAdd the Simpsons to the list who have overstayed their journey.\nOh yes, the last season was awful. TV Land was running some eps from the \"Roseanne, Jackie, Leon, and Sandra Bernhard own and run the Lunch Box/Jackie is pregnant with Fred's baby\" season, and that one was pretty bad too. I bet the show started declining around the time Dan's bike shop went bankrupt.\nI'm really enjoying The Connors, never bothered to watch the first season of the reboot and never will. They stopped discussing Trump openly pretty early, since Jackie doesn't have an obvious foil without Roseanne. I like that they found a way to cast both actors that played Becky (Sarah Chalke plays a different character).\nNo McClean Stevenson made a comeback on a sitcom called Hello Larry where he co starred with Kim Richards and Donna Wilkes and Monte Hall's daughter Joanna Gleason. It lasted 3 seasons and aired on NBC Friday's following Diffrent Strokes in the early 80's.\nHe played a radio talk show host (before they got political and when Rush Limbaugh was an unknown local host I believe in Sacramento) in a radio station in Portland. He was a divorced dad who got custody of his two teenage daughters and the show focused on a single dad working and raising his two teenage daughters. It had scenes in both his radio station and at home.\nNope! Hello Larry lasted only one season, 1979-1980. And it's McLean BTW, not McClean.\nTo my knowledge, the only ex-M*A*S*H actor (one that left the series years prior to its ending) that went on to a later sitcom that lasted close to/almost as long as their stint on M*A*S*H was Wayne Rogers; who played Dr. Charley Michaels on the sitcom House Calls. It aired in-between M*A*S*H & Lou Grant on CBS. That show ran for three seasons (1979-1982) but went downhill mid-way through the third season when co-star Lynn Redgrave (Ann Anderson) was fired from the show & was replaced by Sharon Gless (Jane Jeffries). The character chemistry between Michaels & Jeffries wasn't the same as it was with Michaels & Anderson in the earlier episodes & seasons. CBS ultimately cancelled the show.\n\u00ab Last Edit: February 13, 2019, 09:39:43 AM by PHLBOS \u00bb\nI believe McLean Stevenson was also in the TV adaptation of Dirty Dancing, which was even more short-lived than Hello, Larry! He was no Jerry Orbach.\nWere there any members of the cast of M*A*S*H* that had successful careers after the show, besides Alan Alda?\nIMO, Bonanza all but died with the passing of Dan Blocker. It survived losing Pernell Roberts, it survived Guy Williams, but losing Hoss was pretty much the end, though looking at the ratings, maybe it was already suffering.\nI burst out laughing when I read the Jump the Shark page for '60 Minutes'! Someone said '60 Minutes' jumped the shark when Steve Kroft blew a bubble with bubble gum, and I remember him doing this! He was interviewing someone (I think it was Jon Stewart), and he bubbled a big green bubble!\nI loved that show but it was a long time joke about how he gave up Mash for Hello Larry.\nQuote from: bandit957 on February 13, 2019, 11:05:20 AM\nThat site was so great. Then TV guide bought it and folded it.\nWayne Rogers made a lot of investments and appeared on some stock analysis shows, but that\u2019s about it. Jamie Farr also sponsored a women\u2019s golf tournament for awhile.\nBatman got pretty lame, and it really didn't take all that long. In the second season, Batman ran for city mayor and encouraged people to vote. Not exactly superhero escapades.\nWhat I hear is notable is how the show went from #1 to cancelled in about two years.\nWhat I heard was NBC wanted to pick up Batman for a 4th season, but 20th Century Fox had already destroyed much of the Batman sets after hearing of the ABC cancellation.\nQuote from: texaskdog on February 13, 2019, 11:25:07 AM\nSome folks had attempted to recreate the concept of Jumptheshark.com with \"Bone the fish\". http://bonethefish.com.

For over two decades, an intense research effort has demonstrated that DARPP-32 occupies a unique position as a central molecular control point, integrating multiple information streams that converge through a variety of neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, neuropeptides, and steroid hormones onto dopaminoceptive neurons. Since dopaminergic neurotransmission is critical for motivated behavior, working memory, and reward-related learning and is implicated in, among other conditions, schizophrenia, alcoholism, Parkinson's disease, and pathological gambling, DARPP-32 has received considerable attention not only in basic neuroscience, but also in studies of the pathogenesis of these disorders and as a promising target for innovative drug treatment in psychiatry.

        "raw_content": "Disciplinary: ACCA accountant excluded after inadequate responses\nistock_erhui1979\nAn accountant who provided \u201cwoefully inadequate\u201d responses to an ACCA investigation and withheld documents from a client has been excluded from the ACCA and ordered to pay \u00a327,000 in costs.\nThe main thrust of the complaints, which consisted of eight allegations in total, was Adrian Thompson\u2019s refusal to hand over his former client\u2019s files, or co-operate with his new accountants or even handle the ACCA\u2019s investigation in an \u201copen and straightforward manner\u201d.\nThe ACCA found that Thompson did not have the right to retain the documents and should have returned them promptly, and that he was under a duty to provide the new accountant with the requested information.\nThe committee found that Thompson knew he was misleading in his assertion that \u201call records were sent to [the client]\u201d after the ACCA reviewed his booking out sheets \u2013 accordingly, the committee found he had acted dishonestly.\nComplaint: Not returning client\u2019s documents\nThe relationship between Thompson, who practiced under Adrian Thompson & Co, and his then client broke down in late 2015 after a dispute over outstanding fees. Over the next two and a half months, the client sent Thompson 13 emails to resolve the outstanding invoices, and also sent emails addressing the issue of dividends from his limited company. Thompson failed to assist.\nLater, Thompson produced a letter dated 8 August printed on the firm\u2019s notepaper as proof that he responded, but the ACCA investigation questioned the veracity of the letter\u2019s date.\nDespite the content not reflecting any other correspondence during that time or Thompson not referring to this letter in any subsequent correspondence, this allegation was not proven.\nOn 20 October 2016, the client and his brother alerted Thompson that they were instructing a new accountant and that he should return all the files in his possession. Thompson refused to provide reasonable transfer information and said: \u201conce cleared funds have been received your papers will be available for collection\u201d.\nACCA picked up the case after the client complained on 13 January 2017. Thompson reiterated that all records had been returned and that he had responded to all correspondence up until the contested 8 August letter.\nACCA requested additional information, but Thompson responded saying that \u201cwe have difficulty in understanding each other\u2019s letters\u201d and offered to meet face-to-face.\nComplaint: Failure to cooperate fully with ACCA investigation\nThompson faced another complaint concerning his failure to cooperate. He failed to cooperate fully with five pieces of ACCA correspondence from 9 February to 28 April 2016.\nSpeaking to the investigating officer on 12 February 2016, Thompson reasoned that there were few questions he could answer and doing so would open him up to \u201cother action\u201d.\nThe ACCA\u2019s case presenter Emily Healy-Howell recognised that Thompson had made partial responses to the ACCA\u2019s enquiries, but those responses was \u201cwoefully inadequate\u201d and acted to \u201cfrustrate the investigation\u201d.\nThompson was \u201ccontrolling and measured\u201d in his responses and could have \u201cprovided much fuller explanations\u201d, concluded Healy-Howell. He replied to only 7 of the 42 questions asked in the first letter, for example.\nSanctions and conclusions\nBut this was not the first time Thompson had been subject to disciplinary proceedings. He previously received a severe reprimand (January 2015) for committing assault by beating, failing to disclose his conviction for assault and failing to return CPD and practising certificate renewal forms.\nBecause Thompson\u2019s \u201cwide-ranging\u201d misconduct was so significant the committee concluded that exclusion was the only appropriate action.\n\u201cThompson had demonstrated no insight or remorse,\u201d the committee said. \u201cHe had failed to deal with his regulator in an open and straightforward manner. On two occasions he breached his duty to co-operate with his regulator. His failure to comply with his professional duties to his clients could have resulted in them suffering financial loss.\u201d\nExpert view: Chris Cope, solicitor and director of Accountants National Complaint Services Limited\nThis was a fairly complex case. The reasons for decision of the disciplinary committee run to no less than 153 paragraphs. One can therefore only pick out certain relevant points. Firstly, this was a two-day hearing which was concluded in June 2018. There had previously been two adjournments, although it is not clear from the papers whether those adjournments were sought by Thompson or the ACCA.Thompson did not attend the hearing. He had previously tried to resign his membership of the ACCA, but this was refused as he was subject to complaint/investigation.\nIt would appear that, approaching the hearing, Thompson refused to accept any communications from the ACCA. Of course, a member does not have to attend a disciplinary hearing. He would be entitled to make a written submission. However, Thompson\u2019s case was sufficiently complex that it was very much in his best interests that he should attend and perhaps have been legally represented. Nevertheless, it seems clear that Thompson no longer wished to remain a member of the ACCA and had concluded that there was no point attending the proceedings.\nThe complaint was made in July 2015. It is surprising, therefore, that it took three years to get to the disciplinary committee. It is a little troubling that it was not until January 2016 (six months after the complaint was received) before the ACCA wrote to Thompson requesting his representations. This seems to be an inordinate length of time. Of course, before writing to the member, the regulator must engage with the complainant and obtain information and perhaps answers to questions. In my view, the ACCA should have written to Thompson at a much earlier date.\nAt one point, Thompson wrote to the ACCA telling the case manager that he did not understand the ACCA\u2019s letters and wanted a meeting. The ACCA declined. Of course, one has to accept that a regulator cannot be expected to meet every member under investigation. Nevertheless, this may have been one of those cases where a meeting, at an early date, might have avoided much of the subsequent acrimony and non-cooperation on the part of Thompson. All regulators should be prepared to meet some of their members who are under investigation, as opposed to conducting an inquiry simply through correspondence.\nThompson refused to provide information to the ACCA on the basis of client confidentiality, a threat of legal proceedings from the client and his money laundering obligations. The case presenter when appearing before the disciplinary committee said that none of this \u201cstood up to scrutiny\u201d. It is difficult to understand the basis of Thompson\u2019s contention, but if he genuinely believed that he should not be providing information to the ACCA, he would have been well advised to have instructed lawyers to represent his interests.\nIn the event, the committee concluded that Thompson was guilty of wilful non-cooperation.\nAlthough he claimed a lien on papers with regard to outstanding fees, the committee concluded that he did not have the right to retain possession of client papers. Again, appearing before the tribunal, Thompson would have had an opportunity to justify his position. In principle, an accountant can retain papers, when there are outstanding fees.\nThere was one feature that the committee thought was particularly deplorable, namely Thompson\u2019s threat to the client that he would write to HMRC if his fees were not paid.\nOne of the factors that influenced the committee in deciding to exclude was that there was no evidence that any corrective steps had been taken by Thompson.\nFinally, there is the matter of costs. The costs sought by the ACCA amounted to nearly \u00a330,000, an astonishing sum. This was reduced to \u00a327,000 principally due to one of the complaints being found not proved.\nIt is a sorry state of affairs that an individual who had been a member of the ACCA for 21 years, decided to give up on his qualification and not to engage with the disciplinary process. This was certainly one of those cases where the member would have been well advised to attend the hearing and in view of the complexity of the matters for consideration and the number of complaints, Thompson would have been well advised to be legally represented.\nThe ACCA is now claiming costs of a far greater magnitude than would have been the case four or five years ago. It is now not unusual to read of cases where the costs ordered against the member exceed \u00a310,000. Is there anything that a member of the ACCA can do in order to avoid being hit with a massive costs order? The answer to that question is to ensure that the professional indemnity insurance policy covers the member in respect of disciplinary proceedings and that the policy should also cover the member in respect of the regulators\u2019 costs. Insurers will never cover the member in respect of a fine.\nIf Thompson had had such a policy in place, his insurers would not only have underwritten the legal fees that he would have incurred before the disciplinary committee, but they would also have paid the ACCA\u2019s costs of \u00a327,000.\nThe moral of the story is to ensure that you have adequate insurance cover not only simply in respect of proceedings for negligence.\nGiven his previous form, I'm surprised the accountant didn't try to beat the fees out of the client.\nMay as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb!\nBy mabzden\nMany moons ago I made a complaint to the ACCA about one of their members. I found them to be a shambles, with missed deadlines, lost evidence, ignorance about their own rulebook and lots of excuses, both about their own failings and those of their member.\nSo I'm not surprised to read the criticisms of the ACCA by Chris Cope above.\nI am, however, pleasantly surprised so see they actually took action over this member. Admittedly it took several years, and the chap had to hide his criminal record, threaten a client and forge paperwork to stir them into action.\nI'm sure there are many very, very good ACCA members out there. But, in my experience, the organisation's disciplinary process is a joke, and they're far too lenient with the bad apples.\nWhat happens if Thompson refuses to pay the fine? Is it enforceable in a court of law?\nBy Julian Stafford\nYes it is. The member contractually agrees as part of membership to submit himself/herself to the Regulatory process with all it entails. So ACCA could sue him for non-payment.\nEvery sympathy in respect of the outstanding invoices.\nUnlike proper courts of law where the 'previous' is not disclosed, one wonders what the outcome might have otherwise been.\nThis is ludicrous, how can anyone be fined \u00a327,000 for failing to pass on records and not attend a hearing.\nBearing in mind he was owed fees.\nWhat are \"booking out sheets\" supposed to be? Is this yet another antiquated ritual we're supposed to be performing according to ACCA rules?\nMost client records are provided online these days so I'm surprised there was anything to return.\nWhat, you've never heard of booking out sheets? Me neither...\nFollowing on from my post above, the ACCA person I dealt with didn't have the slightest clue about accountancy, tax or working in practice. At one point they (supposedly a senior investigator) said they would go off and ask a colleague \"who knows about accountancy\" to find out what information is contained in a set of accounts.\nMaybe the answer was booking out sheets?\nThinking about it, if a client is very slow in providing the records and information can I charge \u00a327,000 for preparing a set of accounts and a day long meeting.\nThe costs claimed in these cases seem crazy. \u00a330,000!!\nMaybe if it was a major accountancy firm then such a claim for costs would be reasonable, but for a small firm?\nSurely the costs should be measured against turnover- so the bigger firms pay proportionally the same in fines and costs as the little firms.\nAs it is, the whole system is completely biased against the small practice to the benefit of the largest.\nWhole case should have been much better handled by both sides, with the ACCA helping resolve the fee dispute rather than throwing the book at the guy who then obviously was disgusted with 'his' Institute taking the client's side and then compounded everything leading to the case and a big costs award to the ACCA.\nI wonder if the fee dispute was ever resolved...\nThe point about insurance is very well made, I bet quite a few of us are checking our policies today!\nBy abacusman\nAlthough I have to be careful what I say due to this case now going through the proper courts I can give this advice to members of the Acca.\nWhen returning clients records it is no longer good enough to send them recorded delivery. Even though you may have to drive 300 miles. Take them to the client and get them to sign individually for each price of paper.\nIf you are not paid for work. You must continue working for a client. Non payment of fees is no reason to stop work.\nIf your professional body want you to commit a criminal act by interfering with a police or DTI investigation or breaching an injunction. So be it that\u2019s what they expect.\nA professional body may handle stolen documentation without worry.\nOh yes and if you suffer a medical condition and tell a professional body in confidence. Do not expect them to keep it confidential",

        "raw_content": "Helping Animals while Occupying Wall Street\nBee Friedlander, Animals and Society Institute (ASI)\nA core belief of the Animals and Society Institute is that institutional change for animals and future success of the movement depend on our ability to position animal issues in the arena of public policy, including action in the mainstream political arena. Perhaps the activists will come to see the same is true for the other worthy causes they espouse.\nAnyone who hasn't been hiding under a rock this past week has heard about \"Occupy Wall Street,\" a movement that seemingly has come out of nowhere, beginning in New York City a few weeks ago, and now spreading each day to more cities small and large across the United States.\nIs it the Arab Spring come to the U.S.? An incarnation of the 1960s student movement? A progressive version of the Tea Party?\nIt seems to be a mixture of all of these with a dose of animal advocacy thrown in for good measure.\nConsider last week's Declaration of the Occupation of New York City. It contains a list of grievances directed toward the system that I must say reminds me of the Declaration of Independence in its rhetorical technique. The fifth item accuses the powerful establishment as follows:\nMany analysts and talking heads are skeptical, if not scornful of the wide range of social, political and economic ills that the young movement seeks to address (for example, this New York Times article in late September.) They call the protestors naive and unfocused. They opine that only by coalescing around a few messages will OWS succeed. (And the implication is that animal rights is one message that needs to go).\nBut not all agree. Dorian Warren is a political science professor at Columbia and told NPR: \"I think it has the potential a social movement, one that we haven't seen in at least a couple of decades in this country. It's clearly a broad, populist movement right now.\"\nWarren writes: \"The criticism that they have no demands is also pretty ridiculous at this early stage... Even if the protestors never came up with specific demands, they've already won by garnering media attention and putting the issue of economic inequality on the national agenda. This, in fact, is what movements do best: put issues on the political agenda that the two parties and our political institutions would much rather ignore.\"\nMy colleague Kim Stallwood, ASI's co-founder and now European Director, studies the animal advocacy movement in the context of other social justice movements. In an interview with Satya Magazine years ago, he noted that one of the challenges facing animal advocates is \"relating the issue of how we treat animals within a broader social context of how we treat people.\"\nKim has also championed the building of alliances and forming coalitions. He applauds the inclusion of animal issues by OWS: \"Any liberation struggle which does not include animals is not a true fight for freedom. When one species oppresses all other species no species is free.\"\nThe question remains whether Occupy Wall Street will turn to involvement in politics. In the early heady days of the movement, proponents may well believe that working within the very system they are pillorying is a form of co-option. But this is where the need to mix pragmatism with idealism will play out and may determine the lasting influence of this vibrant and exciting movement.\nKim again:\nAnimal rights, too, has the potential to move to the mainstream from society's margins. But this can be only achieved if the animal rights movement responds to two important points:\nFirst, to understand how social movements advance their mission from obscurity to acceptance.\nSecond, to learn how to implement a strategy that balances the utopian vision of vegan idealism with the pragmatic politics of achieving the possible.",

        "raw_content": "Click to copyhttps://apnews.com/3f375c4d2032411e80b8437b2f4c0485\nHemp growers upset by proposed marijuana rule changes\nDAVE GRAMSeptember 10, 2015\nMONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) \u2014 An official from the Vermont Department of Public Safety on Wednesday defended proposed new rules on medical marijuana and said fears that they will hurt hemp farmers are unfounded.\nLindsay Wells, the department\u2019s director of a program that allows some sick people to use marijuana for symptom relief, said the rules would affect only the four medical marijuana dispensaries operating in the state.\nThe rules change several aspects of the way medical marijuana is regulated in Vermont. Among the changes: Terminally ill people would be exempt from the requirement that they be patients of the prescribing doctor for at least six months, and dispensaries would be allowed to deliver medical marijuana to patients.\nBut most of the attention during Thursday\u2019s hearing of the Legislature\u2019s Administrative Rules Committee was focuses on the relationship between marijuana and its botanical sibling: hemp.\nBoth hemp and marijuana are derived from the cannabis plant, and Joel Bedard, founder and CEO of the Vermont Hemp Company, said the rules could be interpreted as restricting his business.\nHemp is legally defined as containing less than 0.3 percent of tetrahydrocannabinol, marijuana\u2019s psychoactive ingredient. It has been used historically in a range of foods, fuels and fiber.\nBedard told the legislative committee that the rules appear to place \u201cindustrial hemp ... under the confines of the medical marijuana dispensary system,\u201d which he likened to \u201ccorn being regulated due to the possibility of it being used to make whiskey.\u201d\nHe and others who attended the meeting complained they were not told of the pending rule changes earlier in their development.\nWells insisted the changes were meant to affect only the state\u2019s four medical marijuana dispensaries and not the broader hemp industry. She said they were designed to allow the dispensaries to begin selling a type of hemp oil \u2014 cannabidiol, or CBD, widely reported to be effective in treating children with seizure disorders.\nNetaka White, co-founder of a Middlebury-based company that makes a type of hemp oil used in food, pointed to a section of the rules referring to \u201chemp-infused product,\u201d including hemp derivatives used in \u201coil, solvents, ointments, tinctures, and edible or potable products.\u201d\n\u201cThat could at some future date lead to the prohibition of the cultivation of hemp for anything but fiber,\u201d White said.\nAttorney General William Sorrell issued an advisory in April saying possession or sale of CDB oil does not violate state law. He cautioned that federal law allows growing hemp only for research and requires a special permit.\nWells said operators of medical marijuana dispensaries asked for rules that would allow them to produce and sell CDB oil. She said the rules were designed to keep the cultivation of hemp for CDB oil separate from the cultivation of higher-THC marijuana for other medical purposes.",

        "raw_content": "Click to copyhttps://apnews.com/e4ea96ca139745e1ae7f77ed5918ccb1\nBy KATHY GANNON and RAHIM FAIEZFebruary 4, 2019\nFILE - In this Jan. 18, 2019 file photo, released by the Foreign Office, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, left, receives U.S. envoy Zalmay Khalilzad at the Foreign Ministry in Islamabad, Pakistan. Khalilzad is in a hurry to find a peace deal for Afghanistan that would allow America to bring home its troops after 17 years of war. The main talks are between Khalilzad and the Taliban\u2019s political leadership, which is based in the Gulf nation of Qatar. Khalilzad is meeting with Pakistan, which is widely believed to harbor the Taliban\u2019s top leadership, as well as China, India and Russia, which have an interest in stabilizing the region -- and in expanding their influence. (Pakistan Foreign Office, via AP, File)\nISLAMABAD (AP) \u2014 The Taliban said Monday they will participate in \u201cintra-Afghan\u201d talks in Moscow designed to bring together prominent Afghan figures, including former President Hamid Karzai, opposition figures and tribal elders \u2014 but no Kabul government officials.\nThe two-day meeting in the Russian capital, which starts Tuesday, is seen as another step in a process aimed at resolving Afghanistan\u2019s 17-year war, one that has accelerated since the appointment last September of U.S. peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad.\nKhalilzad has been holding separate negotiations with the Taliban even as he presses for a dialogue that would bring together all key Afghan players.\nAfghan President Ashraf Ghani\u2019s office criticized the meeting in Moscow, saying that Afghan politicians attending the gathering were doing so \u201cin order to gain power.\u201d Ghani\u2019s chief adviser, Fazel Fazly, tweeted that it was \u201cregrettable.\u201d\nSuhail Shaheen, spokesman for the Taliban\u2019s political office in the Gulf Arab state of Qatar, confirmed the insurgents\u2019 participation. A 10-member Taliban delegation would be led by Sher Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai.\nThe Taliban have refused to talk to Ghani\u2019s government, which they denounce as a U.S. puppet.\nA statement released on Monday by Afghans attending the Moscow meeting described it as \u201cthe first step toward intra-Afghan dialogue.\u201d Along with Karzai, the former president, many of the 38 delegates from Kabul have held prominent government positions. Two presidential hopefuls are among those going to Moscow, including Hanif Atmar, who resigned as Ghani\u2019s security adviser last August, apparently over differences with the president.\nAlso on the list are powerful warlords-turned-politicians and former Taliban insurgents who reconciled with the Kabul administration.\nThe only woman on the list, lawmaker and activist Fawzia Koofi, has been an outspoken advocate for women\u2019s rights and girls\u2019 education, once posting pictures of her daughters on her Twitter feed asking the Taliban: \u201cWhat about my daughters\u2019 education?\u201d The Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001, imposing harsh forms of Islamic law limiting women\u2019s education and rights.\nKarzai tweeted he was traveling to Moscow with \u201ca message of peace, unity, sovereignty and progress for all of us; the men, women and children of our beloved country.\u201d\nHowever, Abdullah Abdullah, the country\u2019s chief executive, said the Afghan government should be at the center of any peace talks, adding that Kabul \u201cwould prefer the Moscow meeting had a different shape.\u201d\nAbdullah said that Taliban were the biggest obstacle to peace, but that if the Moscow meeting creates \u201can opening for real peace talks, it would still be a step forward.\u201d\nThe Taliban have been staging near-daily attacks, inflicting heavy casualties on the embattled Afghan army and security forces.\nThe Moscow gathering is likely to further isolate Ghani, who has been irked by Khalilzad\u2019s direct talks with the Taliban as well as the U.S. envoy\u2019s successive rounds of talks in regional countries.\nThe Russian government has denied orchestrating the meeting. Monday\u2019s statement from Kabul said the Council of Afghan Society, a Moscow-based organization of the Afghan diaspora, was behind it.\nRussia\u2019s Foreign Ministry said the meetings are an Afghan initiative aimed at laying the foundation for an eventual peace process.\n\u201cThe Russian side welcomes this initiative of Afghanistan\u2019s civil society and believes that a direct dialogue between Afghans can make a political dialogue in Afghanistan more inclusive and open the way for engaging armed opposition,\u201d said the Russian statement.\n\u201cThe planned meeting effectively implements the principle of a peace process led by the Afghans and owned by the Afghans, which has been approved by the international community.\u201d\nThe statement did not address the absence of Afghan government representatives or Ghani\u2019s criticism.\nThe Afghan statement issued by those attending the meeting said the participants would discuss a range of issues, from a cease-fire, supporting Khalilzad\u2019s initiatives to further \u201cintra-Afghan\u201d talks and ways to ensure a \u201cpowerful and democratic central government\u201d in Afghanistan.\nA statement from the Taliban said the Moscow conference aims to \u201copen channels to reaching an understanding with non-government Afghan political groups\u201d and that the Taliban would use the opportunity to clarify their position, based on Islamic law, for the future and an intra-Afghan Islamic system of governance.\nWashington has made no comments so far about the Russia-hosted talks.\nSince the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, Washington has spent more than $1 trillion on Afghanistan. President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to bring U.S. troops home, adding to the urgency of Khalilzad\u2019s mission.\nReports late last year suggested Trump was considering withdrawing at least half of Washington\u2019s estimated 15,000 troops from Afghanistan by the summer.\nFaiez reported from Kabul, Afghanistan.

        "raw_content": "This page updated September 3, 2014\nThe Science Behind Sustainable Communities Strategies\nSusan Handy, Ph.D., Director, National Center for Sustainable Transportation, University of California, Davis\nCalifornia's landmark Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Law (Senate Bill 375) ushered in a new era of regional planning. Passed in 2008, SB 375 aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through better coordination and alignment of regional transportation planning with local land use planning. Each of the state's eighteen Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) was charged with creating a \"Sustainable Communities Strategy\" (SCS) as part of their Regional Transportation Plan. The SCS contains land use, housing, and transportation strategies that, if implemented, would allow the region to achieve state defined targets for greenhouse gas emissions reductions from passenger vehicle use.\nRich conversations on best ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while addressing other important social, environmental, and economic priorities have been sparked in regions across California as part of the first round of SCSs. But what does the science say about the proposed strategies? This seminar will provide an objective review of the empirical evidence on how effective various transportation and land use strategies are at reducing vehicle miles traveled (and thus greenhouse gas emissions). In a multi-year project funded by the Air Resources Board, a team of UC Davis, UC Irvine, and University of Southern California researchers examined a total of 23 strategies ranging from car-sharing services to access to bus and rail stations to changes in land use. The goal of the project was to strengthen the technical underpinnings of SB375 and to gain a clearer understanding of data gaps and research needs moving forward. This seminar will outline some of the most promising strategies to help inform development of and potential improvements to the models, tools, and information used by Metropolitan Planning Organizations, local governments, and others for SB 375 implementation.\nThe scientific evidence for each strategy studied by the researchers is summarized in a series of policy briefs that are now available for download here on ARB's website.\nSusan Handy, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Environmental Science and Policy at the University of California at Davis, where she also serves as the Director of the newly established National Center for Sustainable Transportation - a consortium of leading universities committed to supporting federal, state, regional, and local agencies in improving the environmental sustainability of the transportation system through research, education, and outreach. Dr. Handy's research focuses on the relationships between transportation and land use, particularly the impact of land use on travel behavior, and on strategies for reducing automobile dependence.\nProfesor Handy received her B.S.E. in Civil Engineering from Princeton University (1984), her M.S. in Civil Engineering from Stanford University (1987), and her Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from the University of California at Berkeley (1992).",

        "raw_content": "Studio Sunday: Chris Johanson\nOur Studio Sunday artist this week is Chris Johanson. Johanson is based in California and known for his simplified, sketchy street art and painting style. He began his artistic career in his early twenties after moving to San Francisco, where he became a part of a larger group of young street artists.\nThe above image of Johanson\u2019s studio depicts the space as a long, rather narrow room that has few windows but seems well lit all the same. The lighting is a little warm, probably particularly at night and I wonder if and how that influences Johanson\u2019s colour choices. I like the brick wall that\u2019s painted white on one side. The other side of the studio has a plain gallery-style wall, perfect for displaying finished pieces or works in progress.\nJohanson seems to have a lot of work on the go in this image. There are paintings in progress on every side of the room, covering the walls and lined up on the floor. I\u2019m intrigued by the large, coloured jewel shape that\u2019s visible at the very back of the wall \u2013 perhaps it\u2019s part of one of the installation works that Johanson is known for. The artist also has a number of tables in the space, each one laden with paints and other supplies. It looks like the artist has the ability to move from painting to painting without dragging a trolley full of paints with him. A studio that offers maximum efficiency!\nI know a few artists that use street-art style, and Johanson\u2019s work has a similar feel. The artist\u2019s works are often brightly coloured and incorporate deconstructed or simplified human forms, as well as text in the form of comic-book speech bubbles.\nNext article: Studio Sunday: Elizabeth Peyton\nStudio Sunday: Julie Mehretu\nArtists!

        "title": "What I Love About BBC3 Documentary I don't Want Sex: Asexual and Looking For Love / Sex Map Of Britain! - 2018 - Asexual Visibility and Education Network",
        "raw_content": "What I Love About BBC3 Documentary I don't Want Sex: Asexual and Looking For Love / Sex Map Of Britain!\nBy Sandra B, November 30, 2018 in 2018\nSo this documentary has had some stick because it does not represent all asexuals, but it was never meant to. It was not a documentary about asexuality as such, but a documentary about what it is like to date when you are looking for love without sex, so it specifically focus on asexuals who don't want sex. That was its objective clearly stated and I really liked it. I have been on the Asexual dating scene for 4.5 years, and run 3 asexual dating groups on Facebook, as well as an asexual friends group. This documentary is very reflective of the struggles asexuals face in the online dating world of today and it gives a very realistic reflection of what it is really like to be asexual in this highly sexualised world. My asexuals are introverts and socially awkward. I am personally an extrovert so can walk up to strangers, but I have many asexuals in my groups and who I speak to in asexual forums who find the dating scene very difficult and socialising very hard in general.\nIn this special hour long episode from my channel https://www.youtube.com/asexualisemyasexuallife on 13th of November 2018, I take a look with you at clips from the documentary itself, and share my own thoughts, views, and opinions on it, from my 4.5 years of experience of being in the online dating game. I am still looking for my special someone, but won't give up! I cover a lot of asexual relationship and dating advice on my channel in the hope to help others to avoid the dangers of online dating and to also increase confidence.\nWhilst I was a speaker at the UK Asexuality Conference, I was filmed the Japanese television programme but this cannot be found online so there is no way of me sharing that with you here as well.\nA/Sexuality:Greysexual, bisexual, heteroromantic, is there a word for messed-up sexual?\nFor me, I'd already listened to the other BBC radio programs and read BBC articles that interviewed asexuals and discussed their dating lives (especially young, white asexuals, leaving out POC and older asexuals.) So, this documentary just seemed like a repeated topic that they'd already discussed several times.\nLordyloo\nLocation:The internet\nA/Sexuality:heteromantic somewhat sex-repulsed asexual\nI've seen this. A lot Aces in the comments do not like how aces are portrayed in it. I don't hate it but i think it could have been a lot better.\nSomeone else made a post about this doco where they expressed a lot of anger about it (the post also contained a YouTube vid they'd made though from what I remember that video was mostly breasts... like, all I can remember of the video is the bewbz). I honestly thought the doco was okay and wasn't too far off the mark regarding a lot of the issues that the average asexual faces. *shrug* One of the biggest complaints I see about it is people who are angry that the title implies asexuals don't want sex. I hate to burst their bubble but if someone is looking for love and actively wants sex to be a part of that love then they're not ace. So yeah. It was actually okay.\nOn 12/1/2018 at 3:26 AM, Pan Ficto. (on hiatus?) said:\nYeah, exactly. The not actively wanting sex with someone else and seeking it out in a relationship, is what make us asexual as we either lack sexual attraction, or have little to no interest in sexual activities, or both. Having sex, because their partner wants them to and they go along with it because they love them, or want to please them, or it's expected, is not the same as thing as actively wanting it - I had sex in the past, because I thought I had to as part of a relationship, my last long term ex was good at that but I sometimes would not do that for couple of months with him and would have rather stayed doing the washing up. The only people who would usually want love without sex, are mostly asexuals, so of course we fitted in with their programme objectives. I know about the other person (aromantic) and the post and video they did, I wanted to do my own video because I am not in agreeance. I appreciate another's perspective and put this in a separate post, rather than their one.\nOn 11/30/2018 at 11:56 PM, jay williams said:\nYou are welcome, I thought was important to actually show clips of the documentary, rathe than just talk about it, so people can form their own decisions once they have seen it.\nOn 12/1/2018 at 12:25 AM, InquisitivePhilosopher said:\nThanks for sharing. I understand what you are saying and coming from, however, I had not seen an actual TV programme documentary about asexuals dating and their struggles.\nOn 12/1/2018 at 1:23 AM, Lordyloo said:\nThanks for sharing. I appreciate your point of view.\nOn 2/3/2019 at 2:01 PM, Sandra B said:\nYeah, exactly.

I appreciate another's perspective and put this in a separate post, rather than their one.\nOff topic but congratulations on publishing your book by the way!! I'd been meaning to say it for ages but keep forgetting, so I'm doing it now!\n21 hours ago, Pan Ficto. (on hiatus?) said:\nOh thank you, that's really very sweet of you. xx Have you read it?

        "title": "Where To Find Good Wholesale Real Estate Deals",
        "raw_content": "Find out how real estate investors pay cents on the dollar by avoiding the MLS and buying wholesale properties instead.\nWholesaling real estate has become one of the most popular ways for new investors to make some quick bucks. Through the act of buying and selling property as quickly as possible, you can make a handsome income every month. What makes the proposition so attractive is that it doesn\u2019t require much capital or effort on your part to succeed.\nThe key to success lies in finding the right deal and grabbing it when it comes your way. If you don\u2019t know where to find good wholesale deals, don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll tell you all that there's need to know.\nThe best places to find wholesale real estate deals\n1. Local real estate meetings\nNo matter wherever you are, it\u2019s very likely that there is a local real estate investment club near you. Regardless of your experience, joining this club should give you a lot of knowledge on places to find wholesale deals. Since meetings are all about networking, you never know when you might have a chat with someone who can turn your life around. Finding the best deals boils down to a game of numbers, where more outlets for deals translates to more chances of success.\nBeing a part of a real estate investment association puts you in touch with hundreds of people in the property market. From meeting someone who might be willing to give you buyer details to making acquaintance with a customer looking for the right person to sell to, the possibilities are endless. Moreover, you may even get to learn about techniques of landing contracts that you may have never thought about before.\nFor your business to be profitable, you need to ensure that the wholesale deal gives you a purchase price well below the market value. There has to be adequate spread for the end buyer to earn a profit. If the price of purchase on your end is too high, you might get stuck with a property that just doesn\u2019t sell. Direct mail is an excellent way to find reduced prices as it lets you narrow in on distressed homeowners.\nDirect mail can be tailored to meet your unique needs without getting pricey if you do it right. By targeting distressed homeowners and disgruntled landlords, you\u2019ll have a much better chance of building up the ultimate list of cheap houses that sell for a fortune. Direct mail is the kind of investment that pays off if you know the best way to track your leads and are willing to follow up.\nClassifieds in newspapers or online portals like Craigslist are some of the favorite platforms for advertising. Classified ads serve as a major source of customers for many small and medium scale businesses, even in this era of digitalization. Real estate is particularly highly sought after in classifieds; either because most buyers and sellers aren\u2019t very tech savvy or much rather prefers doing it the old way.\nCraigslist is a very popular platform for buying and selling through which many real estate agents do their business. From great rentals to wholesale deals, you\u2019ll find them all right here.\nWho said you need to spend thousands of dollars to find the best wholesale deals? Sometimes, all you need to do is take a peek at your neighborhood sellers. A lot of wholesalers use bandit signs on the street to market their deals, attracting the attention of the people passing by. Bandit signs are small signs that you often see placed on telephone poles or in the front yards. It is possible to get your phone to ring by just strategically placing signs saying \u201csell your home today\u201d or \u201cwe buy houses.\u201d\nMost of the time, these ads are placed by the property owners themselves because they want to save on commission that comes from hiring a real estate agent. However, you might be able to get them to sell you and move on by making just the right offer. Local marketing is one of the most cost-effective ways to buy and sell cash flowing property.\nIf you aren\u2019t networking on social media, then you\u2019re leaving money on the table. People these days hang out more on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. than they do in real life. Signing up to social media will give you access to hundreds of people within a few clicks. In fact, there are Facebook groups available that are dedicated to buying and selling real estate.\nLook for groups on Facebook by searching \u201creal estate investors in Miami,\u201d or \u201cMiami wholesalers\u201d to get started. Of course, you have to replace \"Miami\" with the name your area. Plenty of wholesalers announce their best deals in these groups, and you\u2019d want to be there when it\u2019s ripe for the taking. Social media is booming, and expert forecasts that user engagement will only continue to increase in the future.\nLast but not least, your hunt for the best real estate wholesale deals should also cover Google searches. Search Engine Optimization is a big deal now as businesses are now vying to rank on the first page of Google search. Doing a simple search using keywords like \u201cinvestment properties + your area,\u201d \u201cwholesale real estate + your area,\u201d \u201cwholesale properties + your area,\u201d etc. can yield great results.\nJust don\u2019t forget to mention the name of your state or city right after the search term. Google can quickly give you details about the best deals near you, and all that for free. However, be prepared to do a bit of scouting because there are literally thousands of offers available online, ranging from new property for sale to auctioning off fixer uppers.\nThe key takeaways here are that finding good wholesale real estate deals shouldn\u2019t be too tough. All you have to do are the following things:\n\u2022 Attend local real estate meetings\n\u2022 Check classifieds for wholesale deals\n\u2022 Check locally for wholesalers who market deals using bandit signs\n\u2022 Utilize the power of social media to build connections\n\u2022 Use direct mail to narrow down your search\n\u2022 Use Google search to find more deals\nBefore we conclude, let us just remind you that wholesale deals are always negotiable. Even if a wholesaler has quoted a fixed price on their ad, you can still approach them and negotiate. So don\u2019t shy away from those seemingly expensive deals; pitch your offer anyway. Who knows, you might end up getting a steal deal out of nowhere.\nI've tried using craiglist for a month already, it's such a waste of time. that's why i moved to assetcolumn and other sites related to investments. Good article. i'm leaving a like ;)",

Sterjovski plays mainly as a right winger or as a second striker, but has also played as a left winger and as a central midfielder. Club career Sterjovski began his career in Australia at Wollongong Wolves and briefly played for Illawarra Lions before making a name for himself with successful spells at Sydney United and Parramatta Power, his performances and record of 31 goals in 68 games earning him a move to French Ligue 1 side Lille in 2000.\nAstrological portrait of Mile Sterjovski (excerpt)\nHere are some character traits from Mile Sterjovski's birth chart. This description is far from being comprehensive but it can shed light on his/her personality, which is still interesting for professional astrologers or astrology lovers.\nIn a matter of minutes, you can get at your email address your astrological portrait (approximately 32 pages), a much more comprehensive report than this portrait of Mile Sterjovski.\nThe dominant planets of Mile Sterjovski\nWarning: when the birth time is unknown, which is the case for Mile Sterjovski, a few paragraphs become irrelevant; distributions in hemispheres and quadrants are meaningless, so are dominant houses and houses' accentuations. Therefore, some chapters are removed from this part.\nElements and Modes for Mile Sterjovski\nCheers for communication and mobility, Mile Sterjovski! The predominance of Air signs in your chart favours and amplifies your taste for relations and for all kinds of short trips, whether real (travels) or symbolic (new ideas, mind speculations). You gain in flexibility and adaptability what you lose in self-assertion or in pragmatism.\nLike the majority of Earth signs, Mile Sterjovski, you are efficient, concrete and not too emotional. What matters to you is what you see: you judge the tree by its fruits. Your ideas keep changing, words disappear, but actions and their consequences are visible and remain. Express your sensitivity, even if it means revealing your vulnerability. Emotions, energy and communication must not be neglected; concrete action is meaningless if it is not justified by your heart, your intellect or your enthusiasm.\nThe Mutable mode is the most emphasized one in your natal chart, Mile Sterjovski, which indicates a mobile character that is curious and thirsty for new experiences and evolution. You are lively and flexible, and you like to react quickly to solicitations, but don't confuse mobility with agitation, since this is the danger with this configuration - and with you, stagnation is out of the question. Security doesn't matter as long as you are not bored. You optimize, you change things, you change yourself... all this in a speedy way.\nDominants: Planets, Signs and Houses for Mile Sterjovski\nIn your natal chart, Mile Sterjovski, the ten main planets are distributed as follows:\nThe three most important planets in your chart are Venus, Mercury and Uranus.\nIn your natal chart, the three most important signs - according to criteria mentioned above - are in decreasing order of strength Gemini, Taurus and Scorpio. In general, these signs are important because your Ascendant or your Sun is located there. But this is not always the case: there may be a cluster of planets, or a planet may be near an angle other than the Midheaven or Ascendant. It may also be because two or three planets are considered to be very active because they form numerous aspects from these signs.\nAfter this paragraph about dominant planets, of Mile Sterjovski, here are the character traits that you must read more carefully than the previous texts since they are very specific: the texts about dominant planets only give background information about the personality and remain quite general: they emphasize or, on the contrary, mitigate different particularities or facets of a personality. A human being is a complex whole and only bodies of texts can attempt to successfully figure out all the finer points.\nMile Sterjovski, you tend to hold emotions at bay, as if they were dangerous. You observe with curiosity what is occurring and you strive to objectively, logically and impersonally analyze facts in order to form correct judgments. Contacts and communication are very important to you, Mile Sterjovski, you make use of, even over-use, words, with deep humour because it is an additional way for you to be detached from your feelings. You may come across as superficial because you keep on talking without committing yourself. You need to be constantly on the move, to discover and to communicate in order to avoid boredom. When you are alone, you can spend lots of time with books to nourish your mind that is so avid for knowledge. However, be careful not to miss feelings because you favour intellectual sensations...\nMile Sterjovski, an enquiring intelligence, an instant understanding and a wide range of interests prompt you to go towards other people in all circumstances with a view to exchanging ideas and to show your talent for repartee. Ideas and actions must be quick and you are likely to be impatient, even critical and sarcastic with people who cannot match your frantic rhythm. You are very adaptable, you can do several different things at the same time and also think of a future action because you constantly need to be on the move. You may be criticized for your superficiality, for spreading yourself too thin and for your propensity to conceal the truth, but you always get out of tricky situations incredibly well because you are very astute, shrewd and charming.\nVenus in Taurus and the Sun in Gemini: his affectivity and seductiveness\nThere is so much voluptuousness and so much charm in your personality, Mile Sterjovski! You are what is called a \u201cnature\u201d and when confidence is established, slowly but steadily, you become deeply attached to your partner and you can be filled with passion. It may take months, even years, but you are so generous and affectionate that, in most cases, your relationship has many chances to blossom, with time. You are very physical and sensual and you are very keen to delight in your intimate moments. This aspect of your amorous relationship usually contributes to its sustainability. Everything seems idyllic, Mile Sterjovski. It would be so if your jealousy and your possessiveness did not get started simultaneously with your powerful feelings. But you have so many assets, so be content!\nMile Sterjovski, the way you take action gains in power and in precision what it loses in rapidity and spontaneity. You are \u201cslow\u201d, certainly. But when you get started, you put all your ingenuity and your persistence into it and you love to see a job well done. At the end of the day, owing to your ways, you are the winner. In your sex life, similarly, you are generous and instinctive and your slowness is not an obstacle. It may even bring fulfilment to you, but above all, to your partner! In love, as well as in your exchanges in general, you tend to keep your worries to yourself because you are extremely patient; you don't say anything, you stand all the hits and one day, you explode into outbursts of anger that are as violent as they are rare, thanks God.\nThis text is only an excerpt from of Mile Sterjovski's portrait. We hope that it will arouse your curiosity, and that it will prompt you to deepen your knowledge of astrology, as well as to visit and use the wide range of free applications at www.astrotheme.com.\nNumerology: Birth Path of Mile Sterjovski\nYour Life Path is influenced by the number 4, Mile, and your destiny implies sustained efforts, long-drawn-out works, and concrete achievements. The path may seem a bit tedious, but it is very promising, provided that you demonstrate some tenacity, loyalty, and patience. You are often invited to display orderly and methodical qualities, and step-by-step, you go through all the stages which may lead you to success, if you do not let hurdles dishearten you throughout your life. Persistence is among your major qualities. You see life as a challenge, and, far from falling into the trap of picking the easy way out, you face problems with calm and lucidity, and you choose the work and steady effort which open the door to success, although evolution requires quite a long time. Your personal path is based on continuous efforts and on maintaining the same immutable direction.\nMile Sterjovski was born under the sign of the Goat, element Earth",

The adorable pair is endearing, and their vocal performance suffers nothing for the physical demand of their roles. They are by far the most active and yet maintain outstanding control. Bonetti\u2019s upper register at times challenges her diction but is more than compensated in style and beauty.Bravos answers with nimble precision and notable range. If the future of opera sounds like Bravos, the art boasts a bright future indeed. \u2013Kelle Long, Broadway World Review, November 11, 2018\n\u201cLillian Groag is known for making strong dramatic demands of opera singers. Mezzo Melisa Bonetti is especially active as the saucy and flirtatious Zerlina, playfully crawling during the suggestive aria \u201cBatti, batti o bel Masetta\u201d and growing sensual and affectionate during \u201cVedrai carino.\u201d Vocally, Bonetti offers a vibrant, even timbre.Her groom Masetto, played by Evan Bravos, also shows strong physicality and acting, especially in his short aria. The pair has electric chemistry.\u201d \u2014Rebecca Evans, WHRO Norfolk, November 5, 2018\nDown the social scale we come to Evan Bravos\u2019 Masetto, thankfully played as a real human being rather than, as too often, an uptight insecure stick. He is a fine-singing charmer in a land of charmers. \u2014Paul Kuritz, The Virginia Pilot, November 3, 2018\n\u201cEvan Bravos was splendid as the hot-tempered parolee Tom Joad, whose strong singing and acting marked him as a young talent to watch.\u201d \u2013John von Rhein, The Chicago Tribune\n1/3/17 12:33:31 PM -- Chicago, IL, USA Portrait Session of Evan Bravos, Baritone. \u00a9 Todd Rosenberg Photography 2017",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019m not sure organized, group trips are for me. Are yours different?\nYes! Atlas Obscura is all about exploration and discovery. We create the kinds of travel experiences we'd want for ourselves, based on our database of the world's most unique places and foods. We'll provide you unparalleled access, in-depth storytelling, and of course, some freedom and flexibility to explore on your own. No big tour buses or boring tour guides to be found. As a result, our trips attract what we think are the most open-minded, intellectually curious, and easy-going travelers in the world. And that's the real secret! The company you keep when traveling makes all the difference.\nDo you get many solo travelers on your trips?\nWe do\u2014in fact, solo travelers make up about half of our small groups. With curiosity at the center of our experiences, there's a natural camaraderie that develops over the course of a trip. You won't have to worry about finding like-minded companions.\nHow old are the people who take your trips?\nThe average age of our travelers depends on the particular trip. Our owl-tracking trip in Utah, for example, tends to draw younger travelers (average age 35). Our trips to the Balkans and Chernobyl, on the other hand, have had participants ranging from 18 to 78, with an average of about 45. We love the age diversity of our groups, and the different perspective everyone brings to the experience. If there's a particular trip you're curious about, email us at trips@atlasobscura.com and we'll give you a better sense of what to expect.\nI\u2019m a local in the place where you\u2019re running a trip. Can I join the trip or get involved somehow?\nYes! We provide amazing access to incredible places that we hope surprise even the most knowledgeable insiders. If you live in the area and want to come along for part of a trip, drop us a line and we'll work to make it happen.\nHow can I sign up for a trip?\nFrom any trip itinerary page, click the purple \"Reserve Now\" button at the top right of the page. You can also reach out to us via e-mail at trips@atlasobscura.com or call us at (+1) 646-961-4857, and we'll help you through the process. To hold your spot, we need a $500 deposit, which is fully refundable within three days of your reservation.\nThe trip I want to take is sold out. What should I do?\nYou can join any sold-out trip's waitlist by clicking the purple \u201cJoin the Waitlist\u201d button at the top right of the itinerary page. If any spots open up, we offer them to travelers according to when they joined the waitlist. If a trip is sold out, there\u2019s a very good chance we\u2019ll offer it again in the future. Keep an eye out for new trip announcements via our trips newsletter.\nDo you offer private trips?\nNot yet, but we're happy to recommend places and foods from Atlas Obscura to help you plan your travels.\nWhat if I need to cancel my trip after I sign up?\nSometimes plans change or the unexpected happens, so we try to keep our cancellation terms as lenient as possible. If you cancel within three days of making your deposit, it's fully refundable. The full cost of your trip becomes non-refundable 30 days prior to the start date of the trip. You can read our terms and conditions here.\nDo you offer trip insurance?\nWe work with the fantastic folks at Yonder (seriously, they're great!). They compare different policies from a wide range of insurance companies, so that you can find the one that's both the best fit and the best deal.\nThere\u2019s someplace I want to go, but you\u2019re not offering a trip there. What should I do?\nSend us an email or give us a call! We're always working on new trips, and some of the best ideas come from the Atlas Obscura community. And who knows, you might get lucky. If we're working on a new trip that might fit your interests, we'll let you know. We'd also recommend signing up for our newsletter, where we'll announce new trips frequently.\nDo your trips include the cost of international flights?\nAlas, no. Our travelers live in many different parts of the world, which means the flights they take to join our trips vary. We do, however, include any regional flights that are part of the itinerary itself. We can also refer you to a third-party air specialist if you'd like assistance with your international flights.\nI have a political or ethical objection to one of the places you\u2019re running a trip. Why would you send people there?\nWhile it's a very difficult question, we ultimately believe that sending travelers to countries with complicated political situations is the right thing to do\u2014provided we can do it safely and without contributing to the problems at hand. Simply put, if we felt we were doing harm by running a trip, we wouldn't do it. We believe greater understanding and engagement, especially the kind we get by visiting someplace first-hand, generally does more good than staying home or only visiting countries whose governments share our values.\nI have a question that you haven\u2019t answered. How can I get help?\nGet in touch via email or call us at (+1) 646-961-4857. We'd love to hear from you.",

        "raw_content": "Domestic Violence Charges in Florida\nIn the state of Florida alone, there are over 100,000 incidents of domestic violence reported annually across the state. While certainly an appalling figure, it should be pointed out that due to the nature of the crime it is likely that this figure actually underrepresents the actual amount of annual domestic violence occurrences across the state. Any occurrence of domestic violence should be handled swiftly and seriously in order to ensure that all parties are safe. Further, it should be noted that any charge of domestic violence should be considered an extremely serious situation. An allegation, let alone a conviction, of domestic violence can drastically alter the course of your life. Therefore, if you are being investigated for domestic violence it wise to seek the assistance of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.\nAccording to Florida state statute, domestic violence is defined as one of many potential violent crimes against a household or family member. Some of the acts that could be considered domestic violence include assault, battery, stalking, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. In order for the crime to be considered domestic violence, the act or threat must be committed against an individual with which the perpetrator has a family relationship. The Florida court system has a reputation for being particularly harsh on those convicted of domestic violence; therefore, it is critical that anyone accused of domestic violence take immediate action in order to protect their freedom.\nAre You Facing A Domestic Violence Charge?\nAmong the potential penalties for a domestic violence conviction are a lengthy prison sentence and hefty fines. Further, you may also have to attend mandatory counseling sessions, and lose the right to see your children and loved ones. A judge may even order that you are no longer allowed to enter your own home. What\u2019s more is that having a domestic violence conviction on your record will also hinder your ability to gain employment and other activities that require a background check such as applying for a housing lease.\nIf you are being investigated in relation to a potential domestic violence charge, it is wise to ensure that you do not speak with law enforcement without your lawyer present. Law enforcement officials are trained to get you to unknowingly incriminate yourself during questioning. Thus, it is important to withhold communication regardless of how benign the questioning may seem.\nReach Out to Us for Professional Assistance\nIf you are facing a domestic violence charge a knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer can make a world of difference. With the help of an lawyer there is a chance that you will be able to avoid the harsh penalties associated with a potential domestic violence conviction. Your lawyer will be able to analyze your situation and formulate a plan to advocate on your behalf and fight for your freedom. It is best to consult with an lawyer as soon as you are aware of an impending domestic violence charge.

        "raw_content": "Prof Chris Richardson\nStella Alexandroff\nJuan Estrella Mart\u00ednez\nSclerochronology and Scleroclimatology\nSclerochronology: the use of long-lived annually-banded bivalve molluscs for detailed study of past environments\nMarine biogenic carbonates are natural archives of palaeoenvironmental information, and can provide high-resolution proxy records of past and present ocean climate variability. We use growth increment data (sclerochronology) and geochemical information (sclerochemistry) from molluscs and other biogenic carbonates to study modern and ancient ocean environments. In particular, we use the long-lived marine bivalve Arctica islandica (Linnaeus, 1767) (ocean quahog or mahogany clam) to study ocean circulation and seawater temperature in the North Atlantic region during the Holocene. A. islandica is a large (up to 120mm length) clam commonly found at 10 - 150m water depths along the continental shelves of the temperate and boreal North Atlantic. Its most important distinguishing characteristic is its remarkable longevity. For example, one specimen of A. islandica, collected from the North Icelandic Shelf, was found to have lived for 507 years, making it the longest-lived non-colonial animal whose age has been precisely verified (Butler et al 2013). It is possible to determine the ages of these specimens by counting the prominent annual increments deposited in the shell, and it is these increments that are the key to the palaeoenvironmental potential of A. islandica.\nCrucially, shell growth (determined by measuring increments) is synchronous within and between populations, indicating the expression of a common environmental signal in the shell growth response and enabling A. islandica to be used as a high-resolution proxy archive in the climatically important North Atlantic region. It is possible to use the technique of crossdating (derived from tree-ring research) to ascribe absolute dates to fossil shell material (Marchitto et al., 2000) and then to construct master shell chronologies using a mean value function of crossdated growth series (Witbaard et al., 1997). The longest published master shell chronologies have been developed by scientists in the sclerochronology and scleroclimatology group at SOS Bangor, using live caught and fossil A. islandica shells. For sites in the Irish Sea off the west coast of the Isle of Man, Butler et al (2009, 2010) built a 487-year chronology, and more recently a 1,357-year archive has been developed for a site off the island of Grimsey on the North Icelandic Shelf (Butler et al, 2013). This chronology is illustrated in the plot below.\nWe are currently using shell growth patterns and geochemical data from the shells to study ocean circulation and seawater temperature variability in North Atlantic waters. The master chronologies can be compared with records from nearby instrumental stations to determine the extent to which shell growth is responding to environmental variables such as temperature and food supply. Depending on the strength of the response, it may then be possible, using statistical calibration and verification techniques, to reconstruct environmental conditions before the start of instrumental records.\nAn ultra-high-resolution 1,000-year temperature record for the North Icelandic Shelf\nIn a major project funded by NERC (ULTRA NE/H023356/1) we are analysing the stable isotope geochemistry of A. islandica shells from the Iceland chronology. Because of the high resolution and precise dating of the shell material, the results from this project - reconstructions of seawater temperatures and water mass changes - are expected to mark a significant advance in the detail with which past marine variability can be reconstructed, improving our ability to discriminate between natural and anthropogenic signals in ocean climate variability. This work is currently being prepared for publication by Dr David Reynolds, who carried out the stable isotope work during a postdoc at Bangor and who is now a lecturer at Cardiff.\nDr Reynolds is now collaborating with researchers from Bangor and Exeter on a recently funded NERC project CLAM (NE/N002733/1): Climate of the Last Millennium: An integrated data-model approach to reconstruct and interpret annual variability. The goal of CLAM is to use a pan-Atlantic network of sclerochronological archives from NW Scotland, the North Icelandic shelf and the Gulf of Maine, together with high-resolution climate models, to investigate the mechanisms that are driving variability of the circulation patterns in the North Atlantic over the past millennium.\nOur research into scleroclimatology has led to the first multi-centennial absolutely-dated records of seawater temperature change from the mid-latitude North Atlantic. These invaluable records allow direct correlation with tree-ring and ice core records of Northern Hemisphere climate change over the last millennium. As a result we have become involved in some large collaborative efforts that attempt to understand the relative significance of external forcing (solar, volcanic) and internal variability, and modes of climate variability (North Atlantic Oscillation/Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation), in the coupled ocean-atmosphere system over the last 1000 years. This is resulting in increasingly close collaboration with climate modelling groups.\nThe latest sclerochronology project to be based here at SOS is a European-funded collaborative project: ARAMACC (\"Annually Resolved Archives of Marine Climate Change\"). Here, we are studying nothing less than the history of the North Atlantic Ocean over the past few hundred years, using shells from multiple sites, and incorporating \u2013 in addition to the chronology building and geochemistry \u2013 climate modelling, biological and ecological drivers of shell growth, and the application of sclerochronology in the commercial and regulatory sectors. ARAMACC science is implemented in the context of a Marie Curie Initial Training Network, so that ten PhD students based in centres across Europe are being formally trained in techniques relevant to the field of sclerochronology at the same time as they carry out their research.\nThe use of long-lived molluscs in research into human ageing processes\nAnother important strand to our work with A. islandica focuses on the relevance of this extraordinarily long-lived animal to research into ageing processes. A. islandica can be used as a model of longevity in the evaluation of the mechanisms that determine lifespan in shorter-lived species. It stands at the high end of a wide range of typical longevities characteristic of the bivalve molluscs. By comparing different species in the bivalve class in their expression of three distinct ageing mechanisms we hope to discover which mechanism (or combination of mechanisms) can best explain the spread of longevities.\nButler, P.G., Richardson, C.A., Scourse, J.D., Wanamaker, A.D., Jr., Shammon, T.M., Bennell, J.D.

Wilkins - Senior Deputy Governor\nIn the 150 years since Confederation, the average income per person in Canada has increased about 20-fold after adjusting for inflation\u2014all because we have adopted better ways of doing business. This illustrates the basic economic reality that productivity growth is the only game in town when it comes to raising the economic and financial well-being of people over a long period.\nThe arithmetic is simple. Productivity growth, combined with growth in the labour force, determines how fast activity can expand without stoking inflation pressures\u2014something we call potential output growth.1\nThe Bank of Canada updated its estimates of potential output growth in last week\u2019s Monetary Policy Report. Our best estimate is that potential output will rise by an average of 1 1/2 per cent per year over the next few years\u2014that is not very impressive relative to history.2 We are counting on gains in productivity to deliver fully two-thirds of that growth. And we are not alone; productivity performance in other industrialized countries is also underwhelming.\nThe good news is that Canada has the opportunity to make up for lost time. The world is on the brink of a new industrial revolution. Innovations in artificial intelligence, robotics and other fields could give productivity a big boost by automating an expanding range of tasks. Some analysts predict that close to half of all jobs in some advanced economies will be profoundly affected by automation in the next 20 years. That leaves many of us wondering about the future of work. And it\u2019s personal. We wonder what will happen to our own jobs or those of our friends, or what our kids should study to succeed in tomorrow\u2019s workplace.\nBusiness people like you share a stake with the Bank of Canada in these matters. So I am pleased to have the occasion to speak on this subject today, and I thank the Toronto Region Board of Trade for the invitation.\nIn my remarks, I will speak to three main points:\nWe can expect a future with work for people, not just for machines. Innovation is always a process of creative destruction, with some jobs destroyed and, over time, even more created. We have seen this process in action throughout modern history.\nWhat will change is the types of workers that will be in demand. We will need people with highly technical skills to program and repair the technology. We will also need people to perform tasks that may never be replicated by a machine because they require creativity, intuitive judgment, inspiration or simply a human touch.\nCanada should embrace new technologies and their benefits, while proactively managing their more harmful side effects. Policies that help businesses and workers manage what could be a difficult transition are essential. So are policies that address the potential for amplified income inequality and, in some cases, increased market power.\nThe Bank\u2019s job in all of this will be to foster the macroeconomic conditions that will help Canada adapt and grow.\nWere the Luddites Right?\nLet me dive right into my first point.\nIn the past couple of centuries, the world has seen revolutionary innovations like the steam engine, the combine, the jet engine and the assembly-line robot. The resulting increases in productivity gave us a 20-fold increase in real income per capita in Canada over the past 150 years.\nOur underwhelming productivity performance since the early 2000s has cost us dearly. If productivity had continued to grow at the pace it did in the late 1990s, our gross domestic product (GDP) would have been 23 per cent higher in 2016, meaning an extra $13,000 for every Canadian.\nEven as we see the benefits of technology, many of us feel uneasy about what automation could mean for workers. Fears of technological progress are as old as technological progress itself.\nNow, there is no doubt that technological improvements have eliminated jobs at the sectoral level. Take manufacturing, for instance. Innovations such as industrial robots have reduced the need for workers in that sector. If we were to roll back the clock on Canadian manufacturing productivity to what it was 20 years ago, three-quarters of a million more people would have been needed to produce today\u2019s level of output in that sector. But the manufacturing jobs lost were offset with gains elsewhere. Roughly 82 per cent of the prime-age population is now employed, about 13 percentage points higher than 40 years ago.\nOther past technological advances did not lead to a sustained rise in overall unemployment either. Let me use agriculture to illustrate the economic mechanisms that have helped us adapt and thrive in the past, which are often underemphasized. Factory farming and the combine harvester increased labour productivity in the farming sector and reduced the need for agricultural workers. Higher farm productivity also made food cheaper for all consumers, leaving them with more money to spend on other goods and services. These positive effects on income led to higher consumer demand, which helped spur the creation of new jobs outside of agriculture. Rising productivity in manufacturing also led to widespread industrialization, which attracted labour from farms to higher-paying factory jobs.\nThis is how agriculture went from representing more than one-third of all jobs in Canada a century ago to less than 2 per cent today, without creating a permanent jump in unemployment. Governments helped ease the transition away from agriculture by making some bold decisions. One example is promoting education in the late 1800s and early 1900s through publicly funded schools. This helped prepare the next generation for jobs outside the agricultural sector, although the period of adjustment could not have been easy.\nThis leads me to my second point. Technological advances have always been a key driver of growth and rising income per capita, yet some fear that this time will be different. In the past, automation was largely restricted to simple manual or procedural tasks. Today\u2019s technology makes it possible to automate an increasing number of cognitive and non-routine tasks across a wide range of industries.\nMachine learning is one way to do that. Feeding computers large sets of data teaches them to mimic the human brain\u2019s ability to infer rules from previous experiences and adapt to changing circumstances. Artificial intelligence (AI) allows computers to read scans and x-rays with precision and self-driving cars to react to any number of unique situations on the road. AI also allows businesses to automate many of the routine cognitive tasks performed by accountants, investment advisors and lawyers.\nThis has raised the spectre of technological unemployment\u2014the dystopian vision of an economy in which machines make many workers obsolete. You have probably heard estimates that suggest that around 40 per cent of tasks performed by humans in Canada and the United States could be automated using current technology.3\nEven so, it is difficult to imagine that the adjustment mechanisms I described earlier are now obsolete. An intuitive way to think about it is to observe that people\u2019s spending appetite tends to grow along with productivity. With 20 times more income, people would only have to work 20 times less than they did before to earn the same amount. The reality is that people generally work a little more than half the time that they used to, with the rest of the gains going toward increased consumption.4 This phenomenon is observed not only in Canada but also in other advanced economies.\nAs technologies raise productivity, labour market dislocations occur over the transition period, but eventually new jobs are created to supply the goods and services that people buy with the extra income.\nThe fact is that we do not know exactly which new sectors will be important employers 50 years from now. Who in the early 1900s could have imagined the boom in health care, tourism and software development jobs? There are also many tasks that machines will not be capable of doing any time soon. An academic expert in this area of economics, David Autor, maintains that humans will likely retain an advantage in jobs that require interpersonal interaction, flexibility, problem solving and common sense. These include personal care workers, plumbers, consultants and, I am hoping, central bankers.\nWhat is particularly important to consider this time is the impact that technological progress could have on income inequality.5 Technological advances may lead to higher incomes for workers whose skills are complemented by the technology, but not for those whose skills are substituted by it. The first wave of information technology in the 1980s and 1990s is a case in point. Educated professionals like scientists and architects could use their skills more productively, while many less-educated workers, like bank tellers and travel agents, saw their jobs being displaced by technology.6 This led to bigger employment shares for high- and low-skilled jobs at the expense of middle-skilled jobs in Canada, along with a modest increase in income inequality.7\nThe hollowing out of the middle could be further accentuated by automation.8 Moreover, the polarizing effect of technology on income distribution could be heightened by a winner-takes-all effect\u2014this comes from the market power that new technologies can often bestow on their inventors. In parts of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, economies of scale such as network effects are already prominent.\nThat said, for all the hype around the current wave of automation, we have yet to see the kind of productivity growth that is consistent with a technological revolution. While we sometimes see fast technological change in specific industries\u2014fracking in the oil sector is one example\u2014economy-wide technological transitions often play out over long periods. After the first central power station opened in the 1880s, electrification took four decades to have an impact on productivity in the United States. Power grids had to be built, machines had to be replaced and new applications took years to develop.9 For similar reasons, it could take many years for self-driving vehicles to completely displace human-driven taxis, trucks and buses. The length of the transition will depend on how fast existing vehicles depreciate, prices for the new technology decline, and required infrastructure is updated.\nWhat does all of this mean for the Bank of Canada\u2019s economic projections? It is simply impossible to quantify the impact of these innovations before they happen. That is why the Bank assumes no additional boost from automation. While the Bank is projecting a rebound in trend labour productivity growth from 0.6 per cent in 2016 to 1.1 per cent in 2020, this mainly reflects a cyclical pickup in investment spending from the lows witnessed following the oil price shock. Our work to date suggests the greatest productivity benefits will occur in firms with high-quality people-management and decision-making processes and high levels of human capital. With big data, smart contracts and robo advisors, financial companies could be at the head of the pack.10\nThe Bank of Canada has a research program to better understand these issues. We have created a new digital economy team that focuses on how automation is unfolding and affecting the economy, including inflation dynamics and the transmission of monetary policy. We are reviewing the measurement issues that are exacerbated by the proliferation of digital and services-oriented technologies.11 We are also developing our macroeconomic models to better account for changes in the distribution of income and wealth.\nProactive Beats Reactive\nLet me now turn to my final point. Canada is well positioned to succeed in a digital world, and we should embrace it. Canada has a flourishing information technology sector and is becoming an important player in the AI field.12 Major Canadian firms have teamed up to provide funding for the development of AI start-ups through a program called NextAI. And some international companies are moving their AI divisions to Canada.13\nTo get the most out of the new technologies, we will need to work together to proactively mitigate the more harmful side effects that I have mentioned: the transition period and the potential effects on the distribution of income.\nThere are many promising approaches to managing the first side effect\u2014the transition period. Let me highlight just one. As with previous technological transitions, education, skills training and continuous learning will be key. Universities across Canada are working with students and businesses to bring the best ideas in science, machine learning and AI to market. A great local example is the Rotman School of Management\u2019s Creative Destruction Lab.14 A positive aspect is that students will gain practical experience early on.\nCanada and its fellow G20 countries have committed to supporting strong, sustainable and inclusive growth. Today more than ever, it is important to preserve the gains that have been made. Trade is a great driver of productivity, and so the risk of growing protectionism concerns me.15 More open trade with the United States and Mexico in the 1990s gave Canadian firms access to much bigger markets and therefore greater incentives to invest\u2014in both physical and human capital.16 Disrupting supply chains and reducing incentives to compete will not create more jobs and income in the long run. Canada remains committed to free trade and the most recent example of that is the interprovincial agreement that was signed earlier this month. While we will not know its full impact for some time, we flagged it as an upside risk to productivity in our April Monetary Policy Report.\nThe second side effect, distribution of income, is equally important. While gains in productivity will increase the size of the pie, there is no guarantee that these gains will be evenly distributed. This is the purview of governments, who can use tools such as taxation and transfers to address these issues. And they involve difficult trade-offs related to preserving the incentives to invest while also avoiding increased polarization of income. Cross-border taxation will also be challenging, given how easy it can be to move intellectual property to low-tax jurisdictions.\nAside from taxation, increased market power for some players may raise important systemic issues, many of which are cross-border in nature. These issues are likely to arise in sectors where barriers to entry or economies of scale are prominent. An example that is top of mind from my work on fintech issues is related to cloud computing and storage. As we move away from decentralized on-site storage and computing systems, we may see a trend toward greater concentration in market structure. These service providers are largely outside the regulatory framework, and this raises issues related to adequate legal foundations, governance, transparency and risk controls. All of these are critical to a stable economic foundation for workers and businesses.\nAs a central banker, I care about income inequality, even if we do not control the tools to address it. Worsening income inequality can lead to weaker macroeconomic outcomes and financial instability.17 It is more difficult for people with low incomes to weather economic shocks. If we see an increasing proportion of people at the lower end of the income distribution, recessions and other negative events could result in more financial stress.\nShifts in income distribution can also affect the transmission of monetary policy since interest rates do not affect everyone in the same way. For example, people with lower incomes are likely to be sensitive to interest rate changes because of the potential effects on their employment income and their debt-service costs. These effects may be less prominent at the other end of the income scale. That said, people with higher incomes and higher net worth tend to be sensitive to the impact of interest rates changes on asset prices. An increase in income dispersion, then, could alter the channels through which monetary policy actions affect the economy.\nThe Bank of Canada\u2019s monetary policy accomplishes a simple, yet vital, task: it manages the level of demand over the business cycle in order to meet our inflation target. In turn, an environment of low, stable and predictable inflation allows productivity-enhancing investments in physical and human capital. This is the perfect complement to the structural policies that governments at all levels in Canada are working to strengthen.\nTime to wrap up.\nIf we want to continue to prosper, we have to improve our productivity.\nClearly, blaming the machines is not the way forward. If we seek out and embrace new technologies while successfully managing their harmful side effects, we will create inclusive prosperity. That means proactively managing the transition period and the longer-term implications for the distribution of incomes. In many respects, we have a head start in Canada. Our policy-makers are working to implement measures that will achieve strong, sustainable and inclusive growth.\nWhat you can do on your side is equally ambitious: keep building competitive and dynamic businesses; keep the collaboration going between educational institutions and companies; and keep sharing your good ideas with policy-makers.\nThe Bank of Canada will continue to focus on what it does best: supporting the economic and financial well-being of Canada by achieving low, stable and predictable inflation; by keeping core financial market infrastructure safe; and by giving sound advice on financial sector policies so that vulnerabilities do not get in the way of sustainable, productive growth for all Canadians.\nI would like to thank Rhys Mendes, Ben Tomlin and Stephen Murchison for their help in preparing this speech.\nTopic(s): International topics, Labour markets, Market structure and pricing, Potential output, Productivity, Transmission of monetary policy\nEmbrace automation and manage its side effects, says Senior Deputy Governor Wilkins\nAutomation, artificial intelligence and other innovations will benefit the Canadian economy by boosting productivity and living standards, but they could also have less desirable side effects on the labour market and income distribution that will have to be managed, Bank of Canada Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn A.

[\u2190]\nOne way of assessing the potential impact of automation is to break every job into a number of distinct tasks and ask whether a given task can be automated using current technology. McKinsey & Company estimates that 47 per cent of tasks could be automated in the United States using current technology. The Brookfield Institute finds a similar number for Canada (42 per cent). This refers only to the parts of jobs that could be automated. Brookfield finds that, while 18 per cent could have 70 per cent or more of their tasks automated, only 1 per cent of jobs are currently fully automatable. C.

[\u2190]\nRecent work at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) suggests that gross domestic product (GDP) remains a good measure of the sum of all market transactions. Nevertheless, GDP is an imperfect measure, and many of the challenges are more prevalent in a digital and services-oriented economy, such as the distinction between quality and price change, consumers acting as producers, and price measurement. Investment and productivity estimates are also becoming more problematic. While digitalization intensifies these challenges, it could also provide useful data that will help solve them. In addition, GDP statistics are often criticized in the context of digitalization because they do not account for the related welfare gain, but it is important to bear in mind that GDP is not a measure of welfare. That said, digitalization has probably widened the gap between GDP and welfare, which reinforces the importance of complementing GDP with indicators of well-being, like the United Nations Development Program\u2019s Human Development Index and the Canadian Index of Wellbeing produced by the University of Waterloo.

If told that other quotations could easily be assembled to make a diametrically opposite case, I shall cordially agree. I just think my selection suggests that it could be (even) worse, and undoubtedly will be, but not necessarily only here.\nPostscript: The government deserves some credit (no pun intended) for resisting strong pressures for cuts in overseas development aid, says development economist Owen Barder[1], but the poorest countries, especially in Africa, with the least responsibility for this rich-country crisis, will suffer as a result of it much more than we will:\nThe UK Government has been vocal in resisting protectionism, and rightly so; but restricting the fiscal expansion to the domestic economy is also a form of economic nationalism.\nI welcome the decision of the UK Government not to cut the aid budget today. But what I really wanted to see was the developing world getting a big part of the fiscal expansion that the Government announced today.\nAnd in a comment over on the Oxfam blog, Owen adds:\nI agree: kudos to the Government for holding the line when it would have been easy to cut the aid budget.\nBut what does it say about the state of our global community, and our aspirations for making it better, when almost nobody argues that at least part of the fiscal expansion should be spent abroad?\nBetween this financial year and next there is an increase in public spending of \u00a330.2 billion. Could we not have spared a billion or two of that for the world\u2019s poor?\nBad as things are in the UK, nobody there will starve to death as a result of this recession. Nobody will have to take their kid out of school. Here in Ethiopia, that is exactly what is going to happen.\n[1] Acknowledgement: are we by any chance related? Yes.\nTom Rawlinson says:\nIt\u2019s difficult to accept that manufacturing in the UK is healthy \u2013 looking around, one would think it had vanished. Look in the shops, almost nothing built in this country. As you say, manufacturing countries suffer in recession more than we do.\nOn the other hand, I may be looking in the wrong places. If UK manufacturing was concentrated on arms then there\u2019s no recession and we\u2019re gearing the world up for a cull.\nFinancial crisis: Perspective. - Common Endeavour\n[\u2026] Brian Barder offers a response to the main claims about UK government finances.

        "raw_content": "Duke Ellington: Black, Brown and Beige\nby JoAnn FallettaJoAnn Falletta\nOrchestration was Duke Ellington's forte, and it is not a great challenge to adapt his works for full symphony orchestra. The challenge is even slighter in the large tone poems with which Ellington occupied himself for most of the later part of his career; these works, which make up the bulk of the program here, are already written for large group and are replete with instrumental effects. Generally speaking, the arrangers here have transferred some of the wind lines to the orchestral strings and left Ellington's brass writing intact. Indeed, the biggest problem with these works is not as classical music -- Ellington's ambitions clearly went in that direction -- but as jazz: the solos were written for musicians with whom Ellington worked closely, and nobody else can quite duplicate their particular texture and snap. This said, the Buffalo Symphony Orchestra under JoAnn Falletta is filled with musicians with plenty of experience in performing jazz, and this release is nowhere less than enjoyable. Its primary interest lies in the late works, which may be uneven but which show the aging composer continuing to explore new ideas drawn equally from jazz, classical orchestral repertory, and (an underappreciated component of his later style) film music. The album contains Ellington's last composition, the ballet \"Les Trois Rois Noirs\" (The Three Black Kings, referring to the King of the Magi, Solomon, and the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., in whose memory the music was composed). The graphics erroneously give a 1943 date for this work, which was left unfinished at Ellington's death in 1974 and completed by his son. It is quite unlike any other classical-jazz crossover work, with highly original musical imagery. The opening King of the Magi movement is a stylized boogie woogie, focusing unexpectedly on the travels of the Magi to see Jesus, not on the luxury of conventional iconography. The middle King Solomon movement could have come from a film score, while the MLK finale has a warm jubilee mood. \"The River\" (1970) is another underplayed score; its images of the Mississippi River are similarly inventive. Bookending these are the more familiar \"Black, Brown and Beige\" suite, \"Harlem,\" and, most familiar of all, \"Take the A Train,\" for which Ellington himself was the arranger in this case. Recording the orchestra in its Buffalo home of Kleinhans Music Hall, Naxos achieves idiomatic sound. Recommended for Ellington lovers, especially those interested in the later part of his career.\nThe River, suite from the ballet for orchestra\nJoAnn Falletta Primary Artist",

We recently installed the equipment to eliminate the \"mobile phone dead zone\" at 19th Street, 12th Street/Oakland City Center and Lake Merritt stations along with all the tunnels in between.\nNow whether you need to be connected for work or fun while riding BART, you\u2019ll find a continuous mobile signal for you to text, talk and surf the web on your wireless phone from Balboa Park into downtown San Francisco, through the Transbay Tube and all throughout the Oakland underground as long as you are a customer of a major wireless phone company (smaller carriers may join the network later).\nWe understand that every minute counts, and we hope that by giving you the ability to catch up on work or socialize while in our stations and onboard our trains, you\u2019ll be able to make the best use of your valuable time. However, we do ask that you be courteous to other passengers. Please keep your voice down and, whenever possible, text instead of talk. Also, please do not use your speaker phone. In 2011, we hope to have mobile phone service throughout the remainder of our tunnels and underground stations, including those in Berkeley and on the Peninsula.\nMeanwhile, on a separate track, a company called WiFi Rail is expanding their WiFi presence throughout the BART system. This project is separate from the mobile carrier service, and you can find out more about it at http://www.wifirail.com/.",

Teams like St Pauli are no amateurs, just having a kick-around for the fun of it. They train as hard as a Bundesliga club, so they're equally fit. St. Pauli really went for it in the first half, and that much determination can make up for tactical and technical deficiencies. It was a great game for the fans, a great game by St. Pauli \u2013 but a great game by Bayern Munich too.\"\n<b>Lukas Podolski:</b> \"It was a typical Cup tie, it was always going to be hard work, but at the end of the day the result was 2-1 for us. We can probably play better, but we're in the next round, and that's what matters. I'm feeling more and more settled, and I'll get the chance to start sometime soon. I felt I played well today. I came on and got stuck in. Now let's wait and see what happens next week.\"\n<b>Mark van Bommel:</b> \"It's the first time I've played 90 minutes this season, and then there were another 30 on top of that. It was hard work, but we kept battling away. We weren't great in the first half, but we took control in the second half and we scored a great goal. We had enough chances to wrap it up in normal time after that, but at the end of the day, we're just delighted to be in the next round.\"\n<b>Andreas Bergmann (St. Pauli coach):</b> \"I think that was a very, very good performance from my team. We were especially strong in the first half, but we conceded the equaliser straight after the restart. Bayern dominated after that and showed all their ability. But we fought back and gave a fantastic account of ourselves. It was end-to-end stuff with lots of goalmouth action. That was entertaining football.\"\n<b>Patrick Borger (St. Pauli keeper):</b> \"I lost my bearings in goal for their second. I thought to myself, I'm off my line, I wanted to tip it over, but I only got my fingertips to it, only got half a hand on it, and I was left watching in horror. I reckon that's the biggest calamity of my life. I think that'll haunt me for the rest of my born days.

The timely leaks and countless speculations about the specs and features of the upcoming flagship phones have kept the fans glued to the mystery of how the story would unfold. But the new images of the phones uploaded on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo has finally lifted the veil and has presented to the audience a somewhat clearer picture of what they can expect. With the launch expected in CES 2018, which is earlier than predictions, here\u2019s what the audience can expect from the new flagship phones.\nSeeing the leaked images, while some people are disappointed with how similar the new phones\u2019 look to the predecessors, some cannot stop themselves from appreciating the classy finish with narrower bezels than the Galaxy S8. To begin with, as the audiences had been expecting, Samsung has shifted the annoying fingerprint sensor below the dual cameras on the back, now providing the users with better accessibility. These renders also suggest that the developers at Samsung are not yet ready to let go of the 3.5 mm headphone jack, and it will be a part of the new flagship phones.\nThe new leaks have more or less confirmed the fact that the phones will feature a dual front camera setup. But a little keener look on the renders also suggests that the bezel on the top is equipped with a flash and heartbeat sensor module. But since Samsung has been matching Apple toe to toe, there might be a good chance that it\u2019s Samsung\u2019s very own facial recognition system.\nWith the launch expected for next week, the larger model, which is the Samsung Galaxy S9+ is already being touted as the star of the show. Well as of now, this is what can be said of the two phones after looking at the renders, we\u2019ll actually come to know of any valid information pretty soon if the phones are launched next week at CES\u201918.",

        "raw_content": "As one of the local clergy who is occasionally asked to lead a prayer at the opening of Wallingford Town Council meetings, I was happy to see that the Council both took up the question of whether such prayer should be continued and then voted to do so. I salute Councilor Gina Morgenstein for having the courage to raise the issue even as I am heartened to hear that this practice will continue.\nI imagine I am one of the few non-Christian clergy who are asked to lead such prayers. I view doing so as both a responsibility and an opportunity. The responsibility is in crafting a prayer that expresses the hopes and needs that are common not only to all faiths, but to the many people whose religious aspirations steer them principally toward being good and responsible neighbors and citizens.\nFortunately, so much of the teaching that the major Western faiths hold in common is geared toward such universal messages that one can usually meet this responsibility quite easily.\nThe opportunity leading such prayers affords me is the chance to teach. Jews make up a very small part of the Wallingford community and I like to use these moments of prayer to deepen the appreciation of our ancient faith among those in attendance.\nOne time I was asked to lead the Council\u2019s prayer was the week in which our regular Torah portion included the Ten Commandments. This gave me an opportunity to reflect with the Council not only on our shared moral heritage, but also on what it means to feel oneself commanded; to hold oneself responsible to a higher authority, whether that be God or the public welfare.\nAnother time I was asked to lead the prayer was during the days between our festivals of Passover and Shavuot \u2014 holidays that celebrate, respectively, the attainment of freedom and the giving of the Law.\nThis gave us an opportunity to reflect on how freedom and law are connected and how they mutually serve one another. Each time I have led the Council\u2019s prayer, I have tried to deepen the understanding of Judaism while drawing a lesson from its teachings that would apply to all of us \u2014 regardless of our religion or religious commitments.\nIn that way, I have tried to use this opportunity to make our community more knowledgeable, more respectful and more open to one another. Others can judge my success.\nRabbi's SermonsJay Alpert February 17, 2018 Comment",

The interesting thing is that even through six years of English instruction, Japanese students don\u2019t actually read that much material.\nIn a paper recently published in The Language Teacher, Kunitaro Mizuno states that if you combined the words from the junior and senior high textbooks New Horizon and Unicorn into a paperback book, that book would only have 157 pages! He goes on to say, \u201cSince a paperback usually has about 250 pages, about 60% of one paperback is read during the six years.\u201d So, the average high school graduate hasn\u2019t even finished an entire English paperback novel!\nMuch has been written about the benefits of Extensive Reading in language learning, a movement that took hold in Japan about ten years ago. Extensive reading means reading a lot of text on your own from books of your own choosing, right at your level so you don\u2019t need to use a dictionary. It is very easy to implement this into a language program, as students can read outside of class in their free time. Studying English this way can be very enjoyable because ideally the student is finishing the book, not to improve their English, but because they want to find out how the story ends!\nBIG BOW English Lab is entering its tenth year today and we\u2019ve had an Extensive Reading library from the very beginning. I\u2019ve seen how encouraging young learners to create a reading habit can have a huge impact on the progress they make, especially in the case of returnee students. It would be amazing if a solid Extensive Reading program was implemented in every junior and senior high school in Japan. I think educators would be very pleasantly surprised by the results!",

        "title": "The Month of June",
        "raw_content": "The coming of June heralded the true arrival of summer. In the past people refused to believe that summer had begun until the elder was in flower, but they also knew that, once midsummer day was over, the days would begin imperceptibly to draw in. Midsummer day was always celebrated with great bonfires, which blazed in praise of the sun and which strengthened its power as autumn and winter drew inexorably closer.\nJune was also the month in which sheep-shearing began and when hay-making commenced. In some areas, a soft alkaline clay soil called marl was to be found and it was spread over agricultural land as a form of fertiliser. In late June, when the excavation of the marl came to an end, the clay pits were decorated and anointed and left until they were needed again.\nChurches and social clubs arranged walks and rambles through the countryside. In Tenby, a women\u2019s benefit club went in procession to the church, each member carrying a bunch of flowers in her hands. Banners and flags were carried before them and a band preceded them, playing a variety of jolly tunes. When the service was over and evening drew on, dancing took place.\nOn St Peter\u2019s Day, 29th June, poor people in Pembrokeshire went from house to house, begging for butter, which they probably couldn\u2018t afford on a day-to-day basis. Each donation was placed in a jug, which was known as \u201cthe jug of St Peter\u2018s butter\u201d\nMany of these customs, especially the fiery ones, had their origin in pre-Christian times. June is actually named after the Roman goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter. She was the patroness of marriage, so June was looked upon as the best time to get married.\nThe Celtic peoples associated this period of the year with the healing of body and spirit and considered that herbs and plants used in healing were at their most powerful as summer commenced. They were gathered not only for their medicinal uses, but for their powers of divination. Until fairly recent times, young girls would scatter rose petals, chanting the following charm:\nRose leaves, rose leaves\nRose leaves I strew\nHe that will love me\nThere were other, more frightening ways in which to find out who your future spouse might be. In some areas of Wales this involved a girl paying a midnight visit to a well. She would have brought with her an article of clothing, which she proceeded to wash, beating it with a flattened piece of wood called a bat staff. As she pounded the cloth she called out repeatedly: He who would my partner be, let him come and wash with me.\nAnother even scarier method was to visit a church at midnight, walking round it nine times and a half, ensuring that the walk ended at the church door. A knife was placed in the keyhole by the petitioner, who in this case was usually male. The young man would then shout loudly the following words: Here is the knife, where is the sheath.\nAn alternative version was for a sword to be carried, the scabbard having been placed first under the door of the church. The young man would walk three times around the building, at last pointing the sword towards the door. If he was lucky, his true love would appear, holding out the scabbard. If not, it was the devil.\nOne plant thought to be especially powerful was St John\u2019s Wort, particularly if it was picked at noon on St John\u2019s Day, Midsummer Day, 24th June. The night before, St John\u2019s Eve, was one of the three spirit-nights of the year, y tair ysbrydnos, when ghosts and demons and the souls of the dead roamed abroad. As a protection, St John\u2019s Wort was placed over the doors and windows of houses, driving out any evil spirits that might have taken up residence within the walls. Sometimes the plant was woven into a garland and was worn as a protection against harm. It could also be infused in hot water, providing a medicinal use.\nAnother plant which had immense protective qualities was the Rowan, or Mountain Ash. So powerful was it thought to be that the wood was often used to make the cross beams of chimneys. Spindles and spinning wheels were also made from it, though to be properly effective, the wood had to be cut between Easter and Midsummer Day. Small branches of rowan wood were woven together and were placed around milk and butter churns to ward off any harm to the milk inside. At Easter time people wore crosses carved from rowan sticks.\nEven more importantly, a baby\u2019s cradle would have rowan wood worked somewhere into it. Though the seeds of the rowan are poisonous to children if eaten, protective necklaces of rowan berries were worn by youngsters and fishermen carried rowan amulets to ward off harm whilst at sea.\nAs the rowan was believed to prevent storms and lightning, ships\u2019 masts were constructed from it and at the very least, sticks gathered from the rowan would be carried on board.\nIf rowan was known to keep humans safe, then it also worked for animals. Goats were driven through hoops fashioned from rowan wood to ward off the evil eye. Following the same belief, it was also used to make the yokes of oxen and a farmer\u2019s herding stick would be carved from a rowan bough. Garlands of rowan leaves were hung around the necks of sick animals.\nThere were practical uses too. The bark and fruit of the rowan can provide a strong black dye, so it was used to colour woollen garments. In Wales during the 17th century, the berries were eaten as a cure for scurvy. Preparations of apple and rowan berries were good for whooping cough and the berries pulped and sieved made a soothing gargle for throat ailments.\nRowan trees were often to be seen growing in cottage gardens, though they were never planted near apple trees, as tit was believed that one would kill the other. Because of the fear of encountering ghosts and spirits, they were frequently planted in or near churchyards in preference to yew, as they kept the dead from rising.\nThe rowan was firmly believed to frighten off witches and so one of its alternative names was witchen or wiggen. A well-known medieval rhyme summed up the belief that witches avoided the tree:\nRowan tree and red thread\nHold the witches all in dread.\nA Sunny Day out Exploring Freshwater West and Freshwater East in Pembrokeshire\nWhen the sun is shining there are few places on earth that can beat Pembrokeshire for its natural beauty and beaches. I went to explore Freshwater West and Freshwater East in the sun to find out more.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Kingsland fills open board position, adds another\nKingsland fills open board position, adds another\nGRETCHEN MENSINK LOVEJOY/SPRING VALLEY TRIBUNE Zachary Queensland has been chosen as the Kingsland High School student representative to the School Board.\nKingsland\u2019s School Board welcomed two new members during the Nov. 19 regular meeting, though one was someone who had never left the board in the first place and the other is a non-voting member.\nKingsland School Board member Leah Stier, who originally was going to finish her own term that ends Dec. 31 and not remain on the board, was appointed to round out the rest of departing member Heather Betts\u2019s term, as Betts tendered her resignation on Nov. 1 due to her family\u2019s having moved just outside the school district\u2019s boundary. The board voted in favor for Stier to take on the remaining two years of Betts\u2019s term after she volunteered to do so.\nThat still leaves the board one seat short until newly-elected representatives take their seats in January. The Nov. 6 election had the board seeking three new members \u2014 Maranda Emig successfully ran for a seat and Natasha Howard and Kyle Rader were elected by write-in, garnering enough votes out of the nearly 100 write-in candidates to earn a seat.\nThe change in residence for Betts came after filing for the election last summer so the district wasn\u2019t able to hold a special election for her seat on Nov. 6. Although the board appointment of Stier to serve the rest of her term fills that opening, the board will have just five members through December since Stier was already on the board.\nKingsland Superintendent Jim Hecimovich welcomed a new member to the board who was not elected by the people of the district \u2014 Zachary Queensland, who was elected by the Kingsland Student Council. The state, back in 1993, recommended that a student representative be on each school board, and then the recommendation was rescinded, although the option is still viable. The Kingsland Student Council recently recommended to the board that Queensland be student representative to the board.\n\u201cHe can sit in on the meetings, he can offer suggestions and hear what we\u2019ve got to say, but he can\u2019t vote, and if there\u2019s a closed session, he has to leave the room,\u201d said Hecimovich. \u201cI think he\u2019s one of the best choices the Student Council can make for a representative, because he\u2019s in everything and on both sides of politics. He\u2019s an excellent choice.\u201d\nFollowing the vote to retain Stier and welcome Queensland, the board approved the renewal of School Management Services\u2019 (SMS) contract for business management with the district, ultimately allowing former Kingsland business manager Amber Uhlenhake Herbrand, who became a SMS employee after several years with the district, to stay on as the district\u2019s business advisor. Hecimovich thanked the board for keeping her in her current position.\nFootball concerns\nThe item that got the most attention, after all the regular business was carried out, was the head football coaching position currently held by Brent Stinson, who was hired to overhaul the football program a few years ago and was topic of discussion during the board workshop because parents and assistant coaching staff brought it to board members\u2019 attention.\nBand instructor Josh Hogberg spoke during the visitors\u2019 portion of the meeting, outlining that he felt that Stinson deserves more time to develop his teams and his coaching because over the years between 2003 and present, the average head football coach has been on staff for three years and working without access to an on-site athletics director up until recently when John Dols took the job in addition to his role as district grounds and maintenance director.\nHogberg stated that the board had discussed during meetings just a few years ago about how to keep a football team active at Kingsland, as participation had dwindled and there weren\u2019t many options left, but that upon Stinson\u2019s hiring, participation increased and conversation didn\u2019t revolve around how to sustain the program. He commented that the board\u2019s approach to keeping the football team viable was counterproductive because it hired Stinson, who\u2019s also a teacher and the only coach who is a teacher, to keep students academically eligible for playing on the team and then turned on the head coach due to a losing season.\n\u201cYou, as the Kingsland School Board of Education are showing that your goals are not to keep students (academically eligible), but that winning is the priority,\u201d he said.\nParent Eric Mundfrom countered that he had concerns about how Stinson runs the football program because of various factors, such as students who were assigned to work off their on-field misdeeds and mistakes by doing drills and being let off after a short amount of time, teaching them that even if they\u2019re in the wrong, they can simply do only part of the work. Mundfrom cited that he had heard that students in ninth through 12th grade were being awarded letters for participation, not for achieving something special in football, and that he felt that that isn\u2019t right.\n\u201cI hear one theme is that coach Stinson isn\u2019t open to input from the assistant coaches,\u201d he added.\nAfter those statements were made, the he board closed the meeting to the public for a personnel evaluation of Stinson\u2019s coaching methods. The meeting was later reopened, though the board cannot take any action on the subject until the December board meeting, which will be Dec. 17 at 6:30 p.m. in the Kingsland choir room.\nIn personnel matters, the board accepted the resignations of transportation director Kevin Klomps, assistant football coach Tim Bestor and van driver Candace Strahl.\nThe board then hired Terry Allard as a van driver, Dustin Tart as the district\u2019s new transportation director, Jim Hubka as junior high boys\u2019 basketball coach, Matt Reiland as junior high girls\u2019 basketball coach, Jamie Fenske as junior varsity and ninth grade girls\u2019 basketball coach, Steve Hauser as head varsity girls\u2019 and ninth grade girls\u2019 basketball coach, John Fenske as head varsity and ninth grade boys\u2019 basketball coach, and Scott Rindels as junior varsity and ninth grade boys\u2019 basketball coach.\nReports to board\nIn reports to the board, FFA members Sydney Eickhoff and Jenna Schmidt reported that the Spring Valley-Wykoff FFAers had been busy at career development event (CDE) competitions in Lanesboro and that the forestry team had gotten third place and the soils team, fifth place. They added that the annual corn drive to raise funds for Camp Courage and local food shelves went well, bringing in $4,500, and that Greenhand Camp, for ninth graders, is coming up and will offer etiquette and the basics of FFA membership to its attendees.\nIn a report from Student Council, Queensland observed that the members have been selling candy as fundraisers and that a Sadie Hawkins dance is in the works.\nDrama department director Sarah Kohn, who recently joined the district, introduced herself to the board and gallery, saying, \u201cI want to thank (former director) Megan Hammon, John Dols and Michelle Reichstadt for helping me find this position\u2026the drama club meets every other Wednesday, our one-act play has 11 kids in it from eighth grade to 12th grade, and we\u2019ll have a public performance on Jan. 25, with subsections being Jan. 26. Thankfully, we\u2019ve got our spring play planned, too \u2013 it\u2019s \u2018The Mouse That Roared.\u2019\u201d\nItems on the agenda that required short attention included approving the pay increase for substitute teachers from $9.65 per hour for non-licensed and $100 a day for licensed to current minimum wage for non-licensed and staying the same at $100 a day for licensed -- as Hecimovich related that there will be a minimum wage increase effective Jan. 1. The board also accepted the annual audit presentation given by Jason Boynton at the workshop on Nov. 5.\nPrior to the Dec. 17 regular meeting, a board workshop is set for Monday, Dec. 3, at 6 p.m. in the Kingsland Elementary School conference room. The public is welcome to attend. For more information, logonto the Kingsland website at www.kingsland.k12.mn.us, or call the district office at 507-346-7276.",

        "title": "Egg Donation - Fertility Treatment | BMI Healthcare UK",
        "raw_content": "This is a procedure that harvests eggs from suitable donors to help another person to have a child. As a donor you are free to withdraw consent to egg donation at any time before embryo transfer.\nWho can be an egg donor?\nEgg donors should:\nBe in good health and have no personal or family history of hereditary disease (cervical smear, tests for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, plus tests to exclude current or past history of transmissible diseases are done). Chromosomal analysis and screening for cystic fibrosis are also carried out\nPreferably already have children of their own\nYour natural cycle will be suppressed using a medication called Buserelin. This stops the production of the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH), and normally takes about two weeks. The ovaries are then stimulated to develop a number of follicles, each containing an egg. When enough follicles have developed to an appropriate size, an injection of human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG: a peptide hormone produced in pregnancy that is made by the embryo soon after contraception and later by part of the placenta) is given late in the evening. This leads to ovulation 40-42 hours later and egg collection is timed to take place 36 hours after the hCG injection. The procedure may be performed under local or general anaesthetic.\nThe procedure, which takes about 30 minutes, is carried out using vaginal ultrasound. It is strictly recommended not to drive after this procedure.\nA needle is guided along the probe through the vaginal wall and into the ovary. Each follicle in turn is punctured and drained of the fluid it contains. The embryologist examines this to determine whether an egg is present.\nOn average eggs are retrieved from about 80 per cent of mature follicles. The eggs recovered will be inseminated using sperm provided by the recipient\u2019s partner or donor. Those that fertilise will be cultured in the embryology lab.\nTwo or three days after the egg collection the recipient will go to the unit for an embryo transfer. Up to three of the resulting embryos will be transferred to the recipient's womb. Spare embryos may be cryopreserved (frozen) ) for future use by the recipient, provided you have given consent for this.\nHot flushes, headaches, mood changes and vaginal bleeding may be experienced during the first stage of treatment\nSometimes sickness, headaches and general irritability can occur before the egg collection\nSome lower abdominal discomfort is common, but mild painkillers should settle this\nA small amount of vaginal bleeding is normal \u2013 use sanitary towels rather than tampons\nYou may have a spontaneous multiple pregnancy because your ovaries have produced a number of eggs that have not all been retrieved. Use a barrier method of contraception or don\u2019t have sex until you\u2019ve had a full period\nOvarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) may occur if the ovaries over stimulate and produce large numbers of eggs or high levels of oestrogen, but this rare\nYou should be able to go home after two to three hours after the procedure. You will feel drowsy for the rest of the day.\nIn the majority of cases the egg donor and recipient remain anonymous to each other, as does whether donation has been successful in achieving a pregnancy.\nEvery clinic within the UK that offers egg donation must be licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). Under UK law any woman who gives birth to a child is regarded as the legal mother, regardless of the genetic origins of the child. Her husband/partner is regarded as the legal father. The donor has no parental rights or legal obligations.",

Getchell, deputy director and chief brand officer of the Museum of Fine Arts, was talking about the Blue Star Museums program.\nThe MFA is one of nearly 100 Massachusetts cultural institutions that participate in the program. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to have been a member from the start,\u201d Getchell said.\nBlue Star Museums, which began in 2010, is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts; the nonprofit organization Blue Star Families, which offers support to the families of military personnel; the Department of Defense; and participating museums.\nFrom Memorial Day to Labor Day, those institutions provide free admission to anyone serving in the military and their family members, as well as those serving in the military reserve and National Guard. The idea for Blue Star Museums originated with then-NEA senior deputy chairman Joan Shigekawa and Blue Star Families CEO Kathy Roth-Douquet.\n\u201cIt keeps expanding and growing,\u201d Rocco Landesman said in a phone interview.

        "raw_content": "Boyle to Build Office Center with Morgan Keegan\nBy Jerome Obermark\nBoyle Investment Co. said it plans to build a six-story office building in Ridgeway Center near Poplar and Interstate 240 in East Memphis.\nThe $15 million-plus project is a joint venture with Morgan Keegan & Co., which will be the building\u2019s anchor tenant.\nConstruction is expected to start in June. Completion is targeted for January 2001, said Mark Halperin, senior vice president for Boyle.\nMorgan Keegan will relocate and consolidate departments and divisions now located in East Memphis and Chattanooga into the new building.\nMorgan Keegan\u2019s headquarter offices and most of its operations will remain at the 23-story Morgan Keegan Tower in downtown Memphis, where the company has about 650 employees.\nIt occupies about 150,000 square feet, including 10 full floors and parts of two other floors in the downtown building which it sold in September 1997 to Parkway Properties after agreeing to keep its headquarters there for at least 10 years.\nInitially, Morgan Keegan will occupy two floors, or 50,000 square feet, of the 150,000-square-foot building, said Jim Dieck, director of facilities for Morgan Keegan.\n\u201cThe new building will give us room to expand,\u201d Dieck said. Morgan Keegan\u2019s East Memphis retail branch, athletic resource management operation, and fixed-income trading operations now in the Crescent Center building at Poplar and Ridgeway will relocate into the new building.\nIt also will house Morgan Trust Co., which now is based in Chattanooga, Dieck said.\nAbout 85 Morgan Keegan employees are expected to move there when the building is completed in January 2001.\nConstruction is expected to start in June, assuming approval of a payment-in-lieu-of taxes request from the Memphis and Shelby County Industrial Development Board, Halperin said.\nAllen Morgan Jr., chairman of Morgan Keegan, said:\n\u201cWe are pleased to be partners with Boyle Investment Co. on this project. Morgan Keegan has had an office in East Memphis for nearly 23 years, but the phenomenal growth of both our firm and the city has enabled us to expand our facilities in this area.\nThe new building will go on part of an 8-acre site located immediately south of the six-story Sedgwick building at Ridgeway.\nLike the Sedgwick building, the exterior of the new building will be a combination of precast concrete and glass.\nThere will be one level of parking in the basement level and six office levels above ground, Halperin said.\nThe basement parking will accommodate about 80 cars, he said.\nHnedak Bobo Group is the building architect. The firm also designed the Sedgwick building.\nMid-America Construction Co. will handle construction. Boyle Investment Co. will handle leasing and management.\nMorgan Keegan will be joining more than 10 companies already located in about 1.1 million square feet in office buildings at Ridgeway Center.\nAmong the larger tenants are ServiceMaster Consumer Services Co., Sedgwick James Inc., Harrah\u2019s Entertainment Inc. and Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co.\nOffice occupancy exceeds 95 percent in the mixed-use business center, which also has hotels, restaurants and a movie theater, Halperin said.",

        "raw_content": "During the rule of the emperor Aurangzeb (reigned 1658\u20131707), the English East India Company was permitted to establish its base at Calcutta (Kolkata). The British gained strength in the region as the Mughal empire weakened. In 1757, following a battle in the town of Plassey between forces led by British soldier Robert Clive and the Mughal nawab (viceroy) Sir\u0101j-ud-Dawlah, the East India Company emerged as the dominant political power in Suba Bangalah. Under Gov.-Gen. Charles Cornwallis (served 1786\u201393), a permanent settlement system was established in the territory\u2014now called the Bengal Presidency\u2014whereby property rights were granted in perpetuity to local zamindars (landlords). This property policy indirectly stimulated the growth of a new landed middle class\u2014especially in Calcutta\u2014called the bhandralok. Initially, the bhandralok was dominated by upper-caste Hindus, but the Muslim presence began to increase toward the end of the 19th century. In time, this middle class emerged as the most active advocate of Indian self-government.\nThe province of Bengal was almost impossible to administer, even after Assam was made a separate province in 1874. In 1905, largely at the initiative of the viceroy George Nathaniel Curzon, two new provinces were created, ostensibly on a geopolitical basis; these provinces were Western Bengal, including Bihar and Orissa, and Eastern Bengal and Assam. With its capital at Calcutta, Western Bengal had a Hindu majority, while the province of Eastern Bengal and Assam, with its capital at Dhaka, was predominantly Muslim. Aside from increasing administrative efficiency, Curzon\u2019s move was intended to position the Muslims as a counterweight to the Hindus.\nThe partition elicited vociferous protest in Western Bengal, especially in Calcutta, where the Indian National Congress (also called the Congress Party; formed in 1885) played a prominent role. Indian Muslim leaders, however, mostly supported the partition, and in 1906 they gathered at Dhaka under the patronage of Nawab Salimullah and set up the All-India Muslim League. Their efforts secured separate electorates and separate constituencies for the Muslims under the constitutional reforms of 1909, but they could not save the partition. In 1912 the partition was annulled, Bihar and Orissa were constituted into a new province, and Assam reverted to its separate status.\nFollowing the reunification of Bengal, the Congress Party and the Muslim League worked together for self-government; among the leaders of this effort were Nawab Salimullah, Chitta Ranjan Das, Fazl ul-Haq, and Sarat Chandra Bose. Communal animosities resurfaced in the early 1920s, however, in the wake of a failed nonviolent alignment between the Indian Muslim front known as the Khilafat Movement and the Hindu-led Indian nationalist Noncooperation Movement under Mohandas Karamchand (Mahatma) Gandhi. Consequently, in order to achieve political goals, it became necessary to adopt coalition tactics that would transcend communal antagonisms; the politician who proved most adept at this was Fazl ul-Haq, chief minister of Bengal from 1937 to 1943. He set up his own Peasants and Tenants (Krishak Proja) Party and formed a coalition with the Muslim League. In 1940, at the league\u2019s annual gathering at Lahore, Fazl ul-Haq proposed the so-called \u201cPakistan Resolution,\u201d demanding independent states for Muslims. The following year, however, he was expelled from the Muslim League; he formed a new coalition and continued to serve as chief minister.\nIn 1942 new rounds of political dialogue commenced, but no agreement could be reached. With legislative elections in 1946, the Muslim League returned to power under the leadership of Hussain Shaheed Suhrawardy, who subsequently became chief minister of Bengal. In August of that year an intense Muslim-Hindu communal conflict erupted in Calcutta, and it eventually spread well beyond the borders of Bengal. This event, combined with protracted and unfruitful discussions between the various groups, made the partition of India appear inevitable. Suhrawardy, Sarat Chandra Bose, and several other prominent political leaders reopened negotiations for a separate, independent, united Bengal.\nIn March 1947 Louis Mountbatten became the last viceroy of British India, with a mandate to transfer powers. As plans were being formulated for the partition of India, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, a leading figure of the Muslim League, advocated for the formation of a united Bengal; Mountbatten was not against the idea, but Mahatma Gandhi and the Congress Party opposed it. When British colonial rule ended in August 1947, two new countries\u2014India and Pakistan\u2014were born, and Bengal was split between them. West Bengal went to India, and East Bengal formed the eastern wing of Pakistan, which was bisected by a vast tract of northern India.\nPrevious page The arts\nNext page The Pakistani period, 1947\u201371",

        "raw_content": "LEISURE - MOVIES\nThat's Hollywood: Iconic Landmarks of Today and Yesteryear\nby Marta Tandori (writer), suburbs of Toronto, Canada, June 08, 2015\nHollywood's iconic landmarks shine like stalwart beacons, beckoning to the masses of hungry tourists from every corner of the globe.\nTinseltown is larger than life, made famous not only by its celebrities but also by its iconic landmarks which shine like stalwart beacons beckoning to the masses of hungry tourists from every corner of the globe who are eager to have their images preserved for posterity \u2013 and posted on social media \u2013 silhouetted against these famous backdrops, giving them bragging rights to declare to the world at large, \u201cI was there!\u201d.In the second of this four-part series, we look at some of Hollywood\u2019s most famous landmarks.\nArguably one of the most famous landmarks in the world, and certainly an American icon, is the Hollywood Sign, situated on Mount Lee in the Hollywood Hills and overlooking Hollywood.Spelled out in 45-foot tall white capital letters, the sign originally read \u201cHollywoodland\u201d and was actually a huge advertisement for a housing development in the area that was created in 1923.In September 1932, actress Peg Entwistle committed suicide by climbing up to the top of the letter \u201cH\u201d and jumping to her death at the age of 24 and in 1945, the last four letters in \u201cHollywoodland\u201d were removed.\nOpened in 1927, it's probably safe to say that Grauman\u2019s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood is the most famous movie theater in the world. It has traditionally been the site of more Hollywood premieres than any other theater and, for several years, was also home to the Academy Awards ceremony. Most people can readily recognize Grauman\u2019s by its imposing exterior which includes a huge red Chinese pagoda-like structure. Founder, Sid Grauman, was responsible for implementing the Hollywood Walk of Fame.However, the stars on the sidewalk outside of his theater were ones he reserved for only the most notable celebrities.\nAlmost as famous as Grauman\u2019s are the brass and terrazzo stars which line the sidewalk in front of it, known as the Hollywood Walk of Fame.The Walk of Fame was inaugurated in 1960 and now stretches across both sides of Hollywood Boulevard as well as Vine Street. Anyone can nominate a star, even a fan, but the star\u2019s management must approve the nomination.The cost of a star is $30,000, with the proceeds going to create and maintain the star as well as the Walk of Fame.All stars who are chosen must appear for their ceremony and have five years in which to schedule it.\nCapitol Records, located near Hollywood and Vine, was the world\u2019s first round office building and it\u2019s truly an iconic landmark in Hollywood.The thirteen-story building looks like a stack of records.The building\u2019s 90-foot rooftop spire, which resembles the needle on a phonograph, is topped by a red light that continuously blinks the word \u201cHollywood\u201d in Morse code.The light was turned on when the building opened in 1956.Capitol Records is where Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, Nat \u201cKing\u201d Cole, Paul McCartney and many other music legends recorded some of music\u2019s most enduring albums.\nDuring Hollywood's Golden Age, the Brown Derby restaurant was the go-to place for celebrities and dealmakers. The walls were lined with hundreds of caricatures of movie stars, many of whom could be seen dining there on any given night. In 1939, Clark Gable took a break from shooting Gone With the Wind to propose to his girlfriend, Carole Lombard, in one of the booths.Lovers of the old I Love Lucy show will remember that when the Ricardos and Mertzes arrived in Hollywood, Lucy dragged Ethel and Fred to the Brown Derby where she spotted movie star, William Holden.Needless to say, the encounter became memorable for all concerned, thanks to an overzealous Lucy!\nThere are, of course, other iconic landmarks that have sadly disappeared from Hollywood\u2019s landscape, having fallen victim to development and bankruptcy like Tower Records on Sunset Strip or Schwab\u2019s drug store, also located on Sunset Strip.They nevertheless continue to endure, thanks to their lofty place in Hollywood\u2019s history, preserved forever in the films we watch and the books we read.\nCopyright \u00a9 2010 Marta Tandori\nIf you need someone to count to ten in seven languages or are lost and all you've got is a map, then I'm definitely your gal but if you need something assembled and all you've got is an Allen wrench and a set of instructions, then we're both in trouble!\n0 comments on That's Hollywood: Iconic Landmarks of Today and Yesteryear\nSurriispng to think of something like that\nAlso in Movies:\nDubai to show its \u201cwild side\u201d in an upcoming documentary\n5 best Christmas movies to watch on Christmas Eve\n26th Annual Pan African Film and Arts Festival\nSpeaking Through the Lens: Cinematographer Andrea Mereles",

        "raw_content": "YOU ARE HERE: Business Partners (ZA) / Entrepreneurs Growth Centre / Useful articles / Buying vs renting\nMany small businesses are successfully started and run from home. But as the business grows, or if you intend to open a shop, then you will have to look at commercial property. And that opens up an interesting debate \u2013 do you rent, or do you buy?\nThere are distinct pros and cons to each, depending on what kind of business you will be running. So the first thing to do is look at your business plan and try to ascertain what kind of commercial property will be perfect for you.\nIf you are opening a shop you will obviously need somewhere with planning permission for retail and good access for customers. But do you need a lot of space to show off your wares, or a basic retail booth?\nIs passing footfall going to be essential to the success of the operation, or do you think customers will go out of their way to find you? It\u2019s essential to work these things out in advance as they wildly affect the kind of property you will need.\nA great location in the centre of town will give you your footfall, but at much increased costs. A property that\u2019s further out of town will be cheaper to rent or buy, but your marketing will have to work harder to attract customers.\nOnce you have studied this and know exactly what you need, it\u2019s time to make the big decision: buy or rent.\nIf you\u2019re going to purchase your own commercial property, the first thing you\u2019ll need is cash. Lots of it. Just like a residential house, a building for your business will require some capital and probably a commercial mortgage as well. Some mortgage deals require you stump up 10 per cent of the purchase price as a deposit.\nThis may have an impact on the cash flow and profitability of your business for a while. But on the plus side, you are investing in a long-term asset that one day you or your business will own outright. Commercial property will generate a rental income, making it a sound investment. But of course the value of any investment can go up or down, so don\u2019t risk your business or savings without thinking it through and getting plenty of advice.\nIf you need greater control of your cash flow, then renting is the route for you. When you pay a monthly rent to the owner of the building, you haven\u2019t got to worry about interest rate rises pushing mortgage payments up, or essential repairs eating into your budget. Wind blows the roof off one evening \u2013 not your problem!\nBut you have less flexibility. Owners can do whatever they like to their building without having to seek the landlord\u2019s permission (as long as it\u2019s legal, anyway). If you rent commercial property and want to subdivide an office with false walls, not only may your business plans be held back while the landlord looks at them, but you may even have to pay to have the work reversed when you leave. How would you feel forking out thousands of pounds to rip down improvements that cost you a small fortune to install in the first place?\nSo those are the main differences between buying and renting a commercial property. It\u2019s worth remembering that you will have to pay utility bills and business rates whether you buy property or rent. You may also be stung for stamp duty \u2013 certainly if you buy, and in some circumstances, when you rent premises too.\nFinancing your commercial property purchase\nIn hard times, property location becomes even more important",

And on a more serious note, poor cell phone etiquette can ruin a career. Are you committing any of the following sins?\nSin 1: Annoying or Cutesy Rings\nThe cha-cha, the latest pop single, your lover\u2019s voice-I don\u2019t want to hear any of these, and neither does anyone else. Have mercy on the general public when picking a cell phone ring. Your latest Romeo saying, \u201cOoh, baby, baby\u201d may be funny to your friends, but it\u2019s a credibility wrecker at the office. Believe it or not, that actually happened to a friend of mine. She went to a business meeting and forgot to turn off her ringer. Midway through the meeting, her purse started talking. She had a fancy ring that was a recording of his voice telling her how beautiful she was. Thank goodness he didn\u2019t use her name, so like everyone else, she pretended she didn\u2019t know the source of the mysterious voice.\nSin 2: Holding Court\n\u201cWe just landed, and I\u2019m waiting to get off the plane.\u201d I must hear that from at least four or five people every time I take a flight. In the midst of all the benign information that follows, what these rude cell phone users don\u2019t say is, \u201cThere is a short, homicidal looking woman standing next to me. I can tell that she is getting ready to beat me senseless for talking loudly about nothing on my phone.\u201d People, please: if there is nowhere for the rest of us to go, think about whether you really need to have that conversation.\nSin 3: We Can Hear You\nFor whatever reason, many people talk at top volume when they are on a cell phone. Microphones are sensitive. The person you are calling can hear you. We don\u2019t need to. Enough said.\nSin 4: Your Help Is Ruining My Conversation\nIn the last few months, I have seen signs in fast-food restaurants and retail stores that say something to the effect: \u201cWe will gladly help you when you are done with your cell phone call.\u201d It doesn\u2019t surprise me. Many times I have watched people talk on phones while in line (see Sin 2) and then not even address or acknowledge the employees whose assistance they need. Simple courtesy will go a long way toward getting you on your way.\nSin 5: Taking a Call When in a Meeting\nAs the old saying goes, just because something can be done doesn\u2019t mean that it should be done. Whether you have called it yourself or are merely attending at someone\u2019s request, invitation, or order, a scheduled meeting is not the time for cell phone calls. The rings alone are intrusive; answering them is an even worse breach of etiquette. The message received by those at the meeting is that they are less important than the disembodied voice coming through the cell. Unless your intention is to make others feel insignificant (definitely not a cool move if your boss is waiting for you to get off the phone), then don\u2019t answer, turn it off, and get it out of sight.\nSin 6: Are You Talking to Me?\nWith the invention of hand-free cell phones came the double-edged sword of convenience and mistaken identity. Who among us has not been taken aback by the presence of another human trawling the aisles of Wal-Mart while actively engaged in what, on initial inspection, would seem to be an animated discussion with himself or herself? After giving this person, who is clearly having a psychotic episode, a wide berth, we realize there is actually a streamlined headset attached to the person\u2019s skull yet well hidden underneath a hat. At the risk of being mistaken for a pop singer or air traffic controller who has wandered away from work, leave the headset in the car.\nSin 7: Too Much Information\nDiscussing anything of a private nature that others within earshot might be able to hear is unwise on a number of counts. Think about it: do you want your coworkers to know the results of your latest lab tests your doctor\u2019s office has just called to share with you? or see your \u201cdark side\u201d when your contractor calls to tell you his work will take two months longer and $2,000 more than he had originally stated? or hear your travel agent has booked you on that cruise to Nassau for the same week you\u2019d requested to have off for surgery you so desperately needed? Unless you want to raise a lot of questions and eyebrows, take calls from those who probably have unpleasant, upsetting, or incriminating information when you have total privacy.\nOn a very serious note, too much information given over a cell phone while others are in your presence could cost you dearly. A friend recently shared with me his experience of standing behind a woman talking on her cell to a repairman who was coming to her home to do some work while she wasn\u2019t going to be there. By the end of the call, my friend had learned the woman\u2019s name, address, neighborhood (complete with directions on how to get there), and the location of the spare key she had left for the repairman to gain entry to her house. Had he been so inclined, he could have reached the woman\u2019s place before the repairman and cleaned her out \u2013 or worse.\nGo forth, and sin no more. These tips just might save you your credibility, image, job, belongings-even your life.",

        "raw_content": "New York Genome Center Launches Innovation Center\nCollaboration with Life Technologies is first of many that will enable Institutional Founding Members to validate and advance new technologies\nNEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New York Genome Center (NYGC) today announced the launch of its Innovation Center, which will provide access to new sequencing technologies and foster collaboration among NYGC\u2019s Institutional Founding Members (IFMs) and technology collaborators. Under an agreement with Life Technologies, the first technology the Innovation Center is adopting is the Ion Proton\u2122 Sequencer, which is designed to sequence an entire human genome in just a few hours for under $1,000. Four Ion Protons\u2122 will be housed at IFM Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.\nNYGC and IFM scientists will be among the first laboratories to receive and validate the Ion Proton\u2122, a new \u201cnext-next generation\u201d sequencing technology, prior to its expected commercial release. The four Ion Protons are scheduled to be delivered to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, however all data from the results of the technology validation will be shared among the IFMs.\n\u201cWe believe the adoption of technologies and ultimately the advancement of science and medicine is about building connections and this is what NYGC is trying to do. The NYGC Innovation Center is serving as a broker of relationships to bring new technologies forward, of which Life Technologies\u2019 Ion Proton\u2122 Sequencer is the first,\u201d said Nancy J. Kelley, JD, MPP, Founding Executive Director of the New York Genome Center.\nLife Technologies wants leading institutions to have access to their new technologies and to be part of the innovation. \u201cWe are pleased that the New York Genome Center has joined a growing list of prestigious, research-focused hospitals, and institutions around the world that are rapidly adopting our Ion semiconductor sequencing technology,\u201d said Mark Stevenson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Life Technologies. \u201cLike our other customers, we believe NYGC will benefit from this disruptive technology by being able to rapidly generate accurate genomic data quickly and apply it to human disease research.\u201d\n\u201cWe are extremely excited to be the first site for NYGC\u2019s Innovation Center, through which we are gaining access to this technology,\u201d said Thomas J. Kelly, M.D., Ph.D., Director, Sloan-Kettering Institute. \u201cWe believe the system will greatly accelerate the rate at which we can collect information about the molecular changes in DNA that give rise to diseases such as cancer, enabling us to better exploit this information to develop more effective therapeutic strategies in the future.\u201d\nBiologist Scott W. Lowe, Ph.D, member in the Cancer Biology & Genetics Program at Sloan-Kettering Institute and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, is studying difficult-to-treat cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia and hepatocellular carcinoma. Dr. Lowe said he believes the technology will enable his team to more quickly examine the genetic changes, or mutations, which occur in these lethal cancers, understand how these mutations influence response to therapy, and identify cancer-specific therapeutic targets.\n\u201cWe look forward to the initial findings from Dr. Lowe\u2019s research, but also to the findings that emerge from our fellow IFMs through the collaborative nature of NYGC\u2019s Innovation Center,\u201d said Dr. Kelly.\nThe NYGC has allocated capital and operational budgets to its Innovation Center to fund purchases of \u201cnext-next generation\u201d sequencing technology, which will allow NYGC and IFM scientists to test and publish on these technologies. This \u201clab-within-a-lab\u201d will provide the latest technologies to IFMs while minimizing cost and risk, create a vibrant community of users that will help shape future sequencing technologies and applications, and establish thought leadership through early publications.\nA pilot NYGC laboratory at The Rockefeller University is expected to house some of the Innovation Center sequencing and data analysis until NYGC officially opens its door at 101 Avenue of the Americas in 2013.\nAbout the New York Genome Center\nFounded in August 2010, NYGC is an independent non-profit that magnifies the expertise and resources of world-class universities, medical centers, technology partners, pharmaceutical companies, and private philanthropists that are engaged in a cooperative effort to transform medical research and clinical care. NYGC\u2019s Institutional Founding Members include: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Columbia University, Cornell University/Weill Cornell Medical College, The Jackson Laboratory, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Mount Sinai Medical Center, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, New York University/NYU School of Medicine, North Shore-LIJ Health System, The Rockefeller University, and Stony Brook University. The Hospital for Special Surgery is an Associate Founding Member.\nNYGC will serve as a transformational catalyst for the future of science and medicine by creating an intellectually vibrant collaboration among the biomedical and research communities in New York. NYGC intends to become one of the largest genomic facilities in North America, establishing an unprecedented, large-scale collaborative venture in genomic medicine. The NYGC model (1) facilitates adoption of personalized medicine through its Institutional Founding Members that collectively treat millions of patients each year; (2) drives therapeutic and diagnostic product development by connecting technology collaborators and the pharmaceutical industry directly to researchers and clinicians at the front lines of discovery; and (3) accelerates the entire translational process by linking all the stakeholders in information-enabled common projects.\nTo date, NYGC has raised over $110 million in funds from its Institutional Founding Members; philanthropies such as the Simons Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and Bloomberg Philanthropies; and other strategic relationships, including the New York City Economic Development Corporation and the New York City Investment Fund.\nWebsite: www.nygenome.org\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/nygenome\nTwitter: @nygenome\nAbout Life Technologies\nLife Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE) is a global biotechnology company with customers in more than 160 countries using its innovative solutions to solve some of today\u2019s most difficult scientific challenges.

Osment's rise to fame happened in an instant after he co-starred with Bruce Willis in the 1999 horror/thriller The Sixth Sense, for which he received an Academy Award nomination at the age of 11. He credits a lot of his acting chops to his co-stars.\nAccording to Osment, \"Bruce's radiant manliness certainly cannot be denied. He was great to work with, and I wish I had been a little older at the time because apparently there were some pretty great Willis-DJed crew parties on the weekends at the Philadelphia Convention center.\"\nSAY WHAT? Please oh please tell me DJ Radiant Manliness is a thing that will be happening in 2014. Come on Bruce, give the people what they want! We can only imagine how Willis and M. Night Shyamalan used to get down in the City of Brotherly Love in the golden age of TRL and bubble gum pop. We can only imagine what those playlists actually looked like.

        "title": "Feature Friday: Double Magnum - Bytown Sound",
        "raw_content": "Home / Articles / Feature Friday / 2018 / February / Feature Friday: Double Magnum\nIf the brilliantly eclectic blend of styles and genres that make up Double Magnum\u2019s self-titled debut leaves you feeling a bit intoxicated, it\u2019s not a coincidence: the key to this Ottawa band \u2013 made up of brothers Nic, Max, Alexis and Felix Boivin \u2013 is right there in the name.\n\u201cWhen people hear the name \u2018Double Magnum\u2019, they think of many different things,\u201d they told Bytown Sound when we recently spoke with them about the story behind some of their lyrics, the influences behind their diverse sound, and of course their clever name choice.\n\u201cA double magnum is actually a wine bottle that\u2019s the size of four. We are four brothers and our last name is Boivin, which literally means \u2018drink wine\u2019 in French.\u201d\nThis explains the warm buzz provided throughout this debut album, which brilliantly showcases the breadth of the Boivin brothers\u2019 talent and skill. It\u2019s a heady concoction that manages to evoke the distinct flavor of their individual musical influences without overshadowing the sharpness of their own sound.\n\u201cThe reason the songs end up sounding like they do is because we\u2019re big fans of artists like John Mayer, The Beatles, Billy Talent, and rap artists like Lloyd Carter. Also, Max can\u2019t help it; he loves a rockin\u2019 guitar solo.\u201d\nAs a result, the album is filled with wonderful tunes that span the rock spectrum before diving into other genres: the Boivins flow into the funky jam \u2018Queen of Pain\u2019 with ease, pepper in some well-placed guitar solos, and even change up the pace by adding a rap verse to \u2018One Way Trip\u2019.\nDouble Magnum by Double Magnum\nThat same wide-ranging approach is reflected in their lyrics as well, as they tackle such topics such as relationship temptations, acceptance of loss, and the wonders of love.\n\u201c[These are] pretty much inspired by our lives, things we\u2019ve been through, things we\u2019ve heard about or spent a lot of time thinking about. We think that\u2019s what makes them mean something: they\u2019re not just rhymes that happen to sound good, they\u2019re a piece of our story.\u201d\nThis clearly shines through on their first single, \u2018Flies In Berlin\u2019, a rock tune that starts out delicately sweet before ramping up the musical emotion in a way that demonstrates the fine balance of \u201cimpossible love and the passion and frustration that comes with it.\u201d The video for this track was filmed last November in Montreal with the help of two actors (Hugo Leclerc and Charlotte Morissette) and two filmmakers (Bruno Goulard and Francis Leduc).\nWith another video on the way while they continue to juggle live shows and school, these four have been busy since the September release of their album. It\u2019s a pace that won\u2019t slow down in 2018, which holds some even bigger plans such as a trip back to the studio, and plenty of live shows throughout the summer.

We played some fantastic football,\" he said at his pre-match press conference.\n\"We were anyhow not effective enough in using our chances. That's what we have added a lot [to our game] in recent weeks. We've scored many, many goals.\n\"In the second-half of that game, we were quite frustrated that we weren't able to score in the first-half and we were not able to play further on.\n\"I got the feeling in recent weeks, when we got some setbacks we were even able to go onto the next highest gear and improve our level of performances.\n\"That shows how much we've developed over the recent weeks and months and hopefully we can show this improved development and situation on Saturday.\"\nBolton come into the game on the back of just one win in 16 matches but the City Boss is wary of just how much experience and know-how the Trotters have at their disposal.\n\"I got the feeling they felt big pressure in their last few home games and perhaps that was why they missed several chances,\" he continued.\n\"But when you are there at an away game against the league leaders, you can go into the game saying: 'Listen, if it's possible anyhow to get a draw, brilliant.'\n\"They will play without a big pressure and they are unbelievably experienced as a team. They will work together and have worked with Phil Parkinson for so long.\n\"I'm pretty sure they won't be nervous. I'm expecting a side who will be compact and solid in protecting their own goal.\n\"We have to be really awake in this game.\"",

Surprisingly, according to an article posted on The SUN (25th January 2018), \"Japanese Flu\" has been prevalent in the UK. It is caused by the B type Yamagata strain virus, which was confirmed in the Yamagata prefecture in 1988.\nIn 1999, Japan established a system of 5,000 fixed-point influenza observation medical institutions throughout the country and estimated the number of patients nationwide on a weekly basis starting in September, when flu season commences. According to a report entitled \"About the occurrence of influenza\" issued on February 9, 2018 by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the cumulative number of patients in the period from September, 2017 to the fifth week of 2018 (from January 29 to February 4) was 13,930,000, the highest ever recorded.

Additional charges of assault and battery, and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon were dismissed.\nThe assault occurred at 10:30 p.m. April 11 at a sober house on Moonpenny Lane. Gillis went into the kitchen to eat a piece of fish he left on the counter and discovered someone else had already eaten it, according to the police report.\nAfter he learned who ate the food, Gillis picked up a dinner plate and hit the man in the face, knocking out five teeth and breaking his nose, according to the report.\nAbout five hours later, the victim drove himself to the emergency room at Falmouth Hospital, where he was treated.\nTwo days after the incident, the victim reported it to police.

        "title": "Faith and Reason | Caritas Singapore",
        "raw_content": "One of the most remarkable aspects of the Catholic faith is how solidly it is grounded on reason. For \u201cIn the beginning was the \u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2 (Greek for the Word)\u201d, a line by the Evangelist St John. God acts is written as \u03c3\u03c5\u0300\u03bd \u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03c9 in Greek, with logos. Logos means both reason and word; this reason is creative and capable of conveying itself as reason. Not acting in accordance with reason is contrary to God\u2019s nature (Pope Benedict XVI, Regensburg lecture, 12 Sep 2016).\nPope Benedict also pointed out that the focus should not be on reason alone but r\u0113cta rati\u014d (\u201cright reason\u201d). A right reason must include the discussion of God for it is the core theme of the marvellous thinkers and civilisations in history and orientates man to goodness. In today\u2019s pervasive relativism, where people claim that there is no such thing as absolute knowledge, truths and morality in relation to culture, history or society, we run the risk of casting religion into a corner, assuming that anything to do with faith should be dismissed as contrary to reason (Day, 2016). The truth is \u201cfaith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth\u201d (Pope St John Paul, Fides et Ratio). One cannot do without the other.\nWhen he was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Joseph Ratzinger called for people to rise to the enormous task of reasoning and applying economic laws to the service of the common good of people:\n\u201cA morality that believes itself able to dispense with the technical knowledge of economic laws is not morality but moralism. As such it is the antithesis of morality. A scientific approach that believes itself capable of managing without an ethos misunderstands the reality of man. Therefore, it is not scientific. Today we need a maximum of specialized economic understanding, but also a maximum of ethos so that specialized economic understanding may enter the service of the right goals.\u201d (Ratzinger J.C, Church and Economy: Responsibility for the future of the world economy, 1986)\nThe use of reason extends to our work with the disadvantaged. Applying Catholic Social Teaching requires discernment of the discoveries and insights of economics and science appropriately with the principles underpinning human dignity, in line with natural moral law. We are not to get emotional in our defence of those who suffer but should consider the importance of economic freedom, trade, property rights, a strong rule of law, and entrepreneurship and education for eliminating poverty (Richards, 2018).\nHow is this balance struck and executed in everyday life? This could mean being the unpopular and uncommon voice in the crowd, choosing to live a life consistent with what you preach, practising the Church\u2019s care and love for the poor, and examining your daily life habits more objectively. Consider the sacrifices necessary to do without a domestic helper at home. Think about what it means as an employer to pay workers a fair wage while cutting costs through the use of technology.\nIn the case of social service organisations, who face the oxymoron of reducing costs while meeting the expanding needs of the poor, it is imperative that they rise to the challenge of using faith and reason in operating as efficiently as a business, yet treating others with the compassion of saints.\nThe Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD), a UK-based humanitarian organisation, commits to ending successful programmes to move donations to new causes. For instance, they stopped a campaign in Sebeya, a village located in arid North Ethiopia, after successfully giving them water access and moved on to concentrate on fund-raising efforts for Colombia, South America. To rededicate resources to where it is needed most, and have humility to admit and rectify mistakes in resource allocation is something that all organisations should periodically do if they have not already done so. This would improve accountability to stakeholders and build trust to continue its mission.\nWe celebrate the use of reason in recent changes to the laws in Singapore that further promote the dignity of the human person. Amendments to the Misuse of Drugs Act emphasise rehabilitation for drug addicts, based on evidence that addicts who can admit their addiction are one step closer to change for the better. In the area of domestic helpers, we should read critically the report by Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (Home) and Hong Kong-based anti-trafficking group Liberty Shared, particularly their claims that domestic workers here suffer from \u201cforced labour\u201d. The report had also made recommendations to improve working conditions of these domestic helpers which are probably challenging to do on a system-level but practicable on an individual level. For example, employers can choose to shorten their helpers\u2019 working hours and allow them to use that time to improve other skills.\nLet us take the opportunity to exercise our right reason this week in living out our faith.\nForeign domestic workers in Singapore seek help most for overwork, verbal abuse, pay-related problems: Report (TODAY, 15 Jan 2019)\nLaw amended to focus on rehabilitation of drug abusers (The Straits Times, 16 Jan 2019)\nChanges to rehab regime based on substantial evidence: Shanmugam (The Straits Times, 16 Jan 2019)\nNew drug laws to tackle \u201ccontaminative behaviours\u201d (The Straits Times, 16 Jan 2019)\nHardened drug addicts to get longer rehab (The Straits Times, 17 Jan 2019)\nExperts laud shift but worry about potential loopholes (The Straits Times, 17 Jan 2019)\nCharities advised to set up endowment funds (The Straits Times, 20 Jan 2019)\nTiffany Tham is part of the Advocacy and Research Committee at Caritas Singapore. She hopes to spread the fragrance of the Eucharist wherever she goes and aspires to be as counter-cultural and compassionate as Jesus.

        "raw_content": "Press Releases // New Legal Professonals Director\nCaron Treatment Centers Hires Executive Director to Launch Legal Professionals Program\nWernersville, PA (November 7, 2016) - Caron Treatment Centers, a leading and nationally recognized not-for-profit provider of addiction and behavioral healthcare treatment, is pleased to announce the appointment of Link Christin to launch its Legal Professionals Program. Christin serves as the program\u2019s first Executive Director.\nCurrently on campus at Caron, Christin provides pre-entry consultations and assessments for legal professionals and law firms, meets with patients during treatment who are legal professionals in both one-on-one and group settings, and coordinates with the treatment team to develop a personalized aftercare plan to ensure patients are stable upon their return to the workplace and the community. He also invites legal professionals in recovery as guest speakers to share their experiences with those in treatment.\nChristin will further develop the program to include additional pre-entry, residential, and post-residential educational and clinical services. Part of these services will include coordination with law firms, disciplinary boards, licensing and admission agencies, state lawyer assistance programs, law schools, and families.\nChristin currently serves as a Vice-Chair of the American Bar Association\u2019s Substance Use Disorder Task Force and speaks frequently across the country on behavioral issues concerning lawyers and other professionals.\n\u201cWe\u2019re excited to have Link join the Caron team to launch our specialized program for legal professionals,\u201d said Caron\u2019s President and CEO, Doug Tieman. \u201cThe need for customized behavioral health services for this particular demographic is greater now than ever before. Many professionals struggle to maintain a healthy work/life balance due to the high demands and stresses of their job. They are working long hours, dealing with difficult clients, and trying to meet deadlines, among other responsibilities. Alcohol and drugs are, unfortunately, often used to self-medicate.\u201d\nPrior to joining Caron, Christin served as a civil trial lawyer for more than 25 years as well as a partner in two law firms in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After decades of practice as an attorney, he began his second career as founder and director of the Hazelden Legal Professionals Program. He also served as a volunteer to counsel lawyers and judges of the Virginia and Minnesota lawyer assistance programs who were struggling with addiction. Subsequently, Christin founded Heightened Performance, LLC, a behavioral health consulting firm that allowed him to bring his experience to law firms, lawyers, corporations, and law schools.\n\u201cAttorneys actively practicing who are struggling with addiction and mental health disorders pose a risk not only to themselves, but their families, firms, clients, the government, and society,\u201d said Christin. \u201cLegal professionals often deny they have a problem and go to great lengths to protect their career, which means they avoid seeking help until their condition becomes critical. For these reasons, it\u2019s vital we provide a treatment program tailored to their needs.\u201d\nChristin earned his BA from Pomona College in 1975 and his JD from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law in 1979. He attended the Hazelden Graduate School of Addiction Studies and received his Master\u2019s Degree and LADC in Addiction Counseling with almost 1,000 hours of internships. He has also served as an Adjunct Professor at the William Mitchell College of Law as well as an Assistant Professor at the Hazelden School of Addiction Studies.\nUnderstanding the signs and dangers of burnout: Sparking your professional passion for the New Year",

        "raw_content": "Mall shoppers thrive on experience\nBY\tDan Berthiaume May 20, 2013\nCOLUMBUS, Ohio \u2014Shopping malls continue to be popular with consumers because they offer hands-on shopping experience, according to results of a new survey from Glimcher Retail Monitor. Consumers cite reasons such as ability to try on clothes and accessories (74%), the shopping experience (55%) and store variety (49%) for going to the mall.\nIn addition, 65% of consumers say a greater variety of stores would get them to shop at the mall more often, while 52% would visit more frequently if experiences such as yoga classes and cooking demonstrations were offered. Thirty percent of consumers shop exclusively at shopping malls, compared to 20% who shop exclusively online.;\n\"The Glimcher Retail Monitor survey findings show consumers seek an all-around shopping experience,\u201d said Dr. Marianne Bickle, director of the University of South Carolina\u2019s Department of Retailing. \u201cMalls of the 21st century should provide a balance of entertainment and shopping experiences. As our study demonstrates, the components required to bring in foot traffic include planned entertainment, communication, variety and commitment.\"\n\u201cThe way consumers enjoy the mall has changed. Today, the mall is a destination, offering more than just retail,\u201d Michael P. Glimcher, chairman of the board and CEO of Glimcher. \u201cWhile shopping will always be the primary reason people go to the mall, the survey supported our notion that going to the mall is about the experiences \u2014 whether that\u2019s having a salad and a glass of wine with your girlfriends or enjoying a movie on a Friday night.

        "raw_content": "Announcing: Free Speech Essay Contest Winners\nThe Charles Koch Institute\u2019s First-Annual Prize for American Free Speech Essay contest received hundreds of excellent submissions from students around the country who added their voices to a pressing and important debate by answering the question: What is the importance of free speech to a flourishing society?\nHere are the top essays selected by our panel of judges:\nFirst Place: Nora Faris, University of Missouri\nI remember sifting through the stacks of college brochures that arrived during my senior year of high school. Smiling students peered from the pages, sporting their college colors against a backdrop of a sunny, manicured campus. The universities\u2019 descriptions included vague but enticing claims of \u201ca diverse, accepting culture,\u201d \u201ceducational excellence,\u201d and \u201cthe freedom to find your place.\u201d\nI have always considered myself a realist. Therefore, it was no surprise to me when the college I chose to attend\u2014the University of Missouri\u2014failed to live up to its postcard-perfect image. The promised \u201cchallenging, thought-provoking courses\u201d were, indeed, challenging and thought-provoking. But mandatory freshman-level classes were a challenge to stay awake through and provoked thoughts of frustration at paying for required courses with little application to my major. Likewise, the perpetual summer enjoyed by students on the college advertisements was a sham. By December, I was wading to class through snow drifts.\nComing from Missouri, I anticipated the wintry weather. What I did not expect was the chilling effect my university, its administration, and my fellow students would come to have on my freedom of speech, thought, and expression.\nA national media microscope was placed on the University of Missouri during the fall of our discontent in November 2015. Here are the images the world saw: a young man, starving for justice and equality, going on a hunger strike; a college sports team refusing to play; university administrators stepping down and others stepping up to take their places; protestors creating \u201csafe spaces\u201d and excluding media from joining the conversation on racial inequality.\nAn important image was missing from the coverage of the events on my campus. It was the image of the undergraduate students afraid to express their dissent for fear of being labeled \u201csubversive.\u201d With new speech codes in place as a result of events on campus, students at MU were left asking, \u201cWhat can I say?\u201d\nIn an attempt to extinguish inflammatory or offensive speech on campus, the MU Police Department released a statement to students encouraging \u201cindividuals who witness incidents of hateful and/or hurtful speech or actions to call the police immediately.\u201d\nPutting the First Amendment first and protecting speech unequivocally should be the goal of every American academic institution. Trigger warnings and safe spaces were designed by academia to make students feel comfortable, but they have produced an uncomfortable result: the erosion of free speech through the amplification of some voices and the suppression of others.\nUniversities should work to advance free, open dialogue by protecting all voices. Under the First Amendment, the entirety of the United States is a \u201csafe space\u201d where people should be able to share personal opinions and speak without fear of reprisal.\nWhen students consider their college choice, they should be assured that their university supports the unbridled transmission of ideas, speech, and thoughts. Universities should ensure that what students see on the glossy brochures\u2014a welcoming, respectful forum\u2014is what they get.\nNora Faris is a sophomore at the University of Missouri studying science and agricultural journalism. She plans to obtain a law degree and pursue a career in public affairs, focusing on rural, environmental, and agricultural policy.\nSecond Place: Sasha Bryski, University of Pennsylvania\nThe Constitution does not shelter us from being offended. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a flourishing society, and its infringement leads to a decline not only in liberty but also in societal progress. Meaningful engagement cannot exist when we are censored, and without discourse we cannot seek the truth. Censorship leads to a stagnant society, with members who are unable to challenge ideas and are afraid to think for themselves.\nJohn Stuart Mill emphasized freedom of opinion in his writing. \u201cOpinion\u201d points to the subjectivity of our views: They are supposed to differ, and expressing disagreements is the best way to evolve toward the truth. In On Liberty, Mill writes that suppressing an opinion harms all of society, not just the dissenters. He explains that there are three options: The opinion may be true, in which case restraining it actually hides the truth; the opinion may be partially true, and must be discussed to reveal the remainder of the truth; or the opinion is false, in which case it is beneficial to challenge the opinion to uncover the truth. Mill asserts that the truth becomes a \u201cdead dogma, not a living truth\u201d if it is not discussed; challenging ideas keeps them alive. Disagreement should be more than protected\u2014it should be encouraged.\nAdvocates for censorship have claimed that suppressing divergent views would make us all safer. At Wesleyan University, the funding for a school newspaper was cut after a moderately conservative op-ed was published. Yale students spat on attendees of a free speech conference in the name of creating a more inclusive environment for minorities. The dis-invitation rate of campus speakers has dramatically increased. And even comedians now stray away from colleges.\nHow far are we willing to go in an effort to ensure the comfort of everyone? And whose offended feelings should we validate? The answer is that all people\u2019s feelings are valid and important, but acknowledging these feelings should not result in censorship.\nThere will always be opinions that are offensive or immoral. These opinions matter. We can\u2019t just protect the rights of people we agree with. Moreover, every society has opinions that are wrong, even at the top. But the ability to grow by challenging these ideas is exclusive to a free society.\nSome believe that censoring certain speech is a way to be welcoming to our diverse society and be progressive. But that way of thinking will take us back in time, making us more coercive and less pluralistic. Comfort is antagonistic to growth, and if we don\u2019t challenge ideas, we may inadvertently become compliant with norms that are unjust.\nAn indoctrinating environment is the exact opposite of safe, and censoring people does not make them better or more virtuous. As John Milton wrote, \u201cLiberty is the best school of virtue.\u201d We can\u2019t take away one person\u2019s rights to increase the comfort of another. If an idea is wrong, protest! But let the other side protest, too. The United States is a haven from tyranny, not from discomfort.\nSasha Bryski is a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE).

Imagine a campus where professors held their tongues for fear of accidentally transgressing the ever-changing boundaries of permissibility. Imagine a conversation where every word has a hidden meaning that, if used incorrectly, renders you friendless. Everyone is an informant. Everyone is judging. One mistake and you are finished.\nYou would be forgiven if you envisioned a classroom in North Korea or Cuba, but the reality occurs far closer to home. College campuses, once the bastion of free speech and open discourse, are slowly silencing their dissidents and enforcing a new brand of ideological purity. This disturbingly Stalinist tendency ignores a fundamental truth: Freedom of expression is not meant to be pretty. In fact, sometimes it can make you feel bad\u2014which, contrary to conventional wisdom, is perfectly acceptable.\nFree speech is the foundation of a flourishing society because it enables us to engage in a dialogue that keeps people equal and government accountable. In order to preserve a flourishing society and pass on important values from one generation to the next, we must extend its foundation deep into the dirt. We will encounter opinions that are rude, distasteful, ignorant, insulting, and degrading. Free speech is, by nature, dirty. John Stuart Mill would tell you that even bad speech is productive because it sparks a discussion that eventually leads to the truth. So instead of running away when things start to get rough, you dust yourself off and respond logically. As Professor Robert George says, \u201creasons and arguments,\u201d not intimidation and silencing, are the \u201ccurrency of academic discourse.\u201d\nFree speech allows us to criticize ourselves and our government\u2014those with whom we agree and those with whom we disagree. Speech is the foundation upon which all of our other rights are built. Without that freedom, who would speak out for the oppressed? It comes as no surprise that censorship is the first step taken by autocrats to prevent individual challenges, as they abridge freedoms of the press, of worship, and of assembly. Pastor Martin Niem\u00f6ller, who suffered in Nazi concentration camps for his beliefs, put it beautifully: \u201cFirst they came for the socialists, but I did not speak out\u2014because I was not a socialist. \u2026 Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out\u2014because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me\u2014and there was no one left to speak out.\u201d\nFree speech is so critical because it prevents anyone from being silenced. When that freedom is gone, little remains to prevent the loss of our other freedoms. So speak out. Speak out for a cause you believe in. Speak out against intimidation, no matter how small. Even if you disagree or lack common beliefs, like Pastor Niem\u00f6ller and the socialists, stand up for the freedom of expression for everyone. When that foundation begins to crumble, the building will certainly collapse.\nSebastian Marotta is a senior in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. He is a co-founder of the Princeton Open Campus Coalition, which seeks to promote free speech on college campuses.\nThe views expressed in these essays do not necessarily represent the views of the Charles Koch Institute.",

However, he instead took the courageous move of speaking out.\nFreedom of speech and freedom of the press are important prerequisites for a free society.

        "title": "Charleston's Great Cruise Debate Charleston's Great Cruise Debate",
        "raw_content": "Oct 21, 2011 | General Charleston News, Industries in the Charleston Area, Recreation, Resorts & Hotels, Tourism News Charleston, South Carolina | 1 comment\nCarnival Cruise Ship, courtesy US Navy\nCharleston made history in May 2010 when it welcomed Carnival Cruise Line\u2019s Carnival Fantasy ship as South Carolina\u2019s first permanent cruise ship. Before her arrival, year-round cruises were not available in the area. But the ship\u2019s arrival also sparked a heated debate centering around the impact that increased cruise traffic would have on the charm of the historic Charleston peninsula and the environmental impacts. Charleston\u2019s cruise ship traffic increased from 37,000 passengers in 2009 to 117,000 passengers in 2010.\nAt first spearheaded by private homeowners who have gone to great lengths to restore and preserve their historic residences on the peninsula and who value the city\u2019s exceptional livability, the cruise ship issue has now drawn national attention; two separate historic preservation organizations \u2014 the World Monuments Fund and National Trust for Historic Preservation \u2014 have sent a message against increased cruise traffic by placing Charleston on their watch and endangered lists. But in a state that had the fourth highest unemployment rate in the country in 2011, the city of Charleston is working hard to balance tourism income with historic preservation and environmental sensitivity. The reports left Charleston\u2019s Mayor Riley on the defense, but we can also look at the reports as a nod to the fact that Charleston is a historic treasure like no other well worth preserving.\nIncreased cruise traffic has been criticized for causing traffic congestion on the narrow streets of historic Charleston. The city and the SC Ports Authority (SCPA) responded with increased signage and a traffic plan that directs cruise traffic to use the less busy Morrison Drive exit (219) off Interstate 26 and which limits road closures as much as possible. Currently, the only time roads are closed is during embarkation times, and this only affects two roads. The SCPA also offers an email update system so that residents are kept in the know about scheduled ship stops and road closures.\nCruise ship exhaust and its effect on air quality is a concern, and there are fears that soot exhausted from the ships will accumulate on historic buildings and degrade the cleanliness of the city. Degraded water quality from repeated cruise ship stops is another worry. Charleston has addressed these concerns by limiting the number of cruise ships that can call each year to 104, and only 84 stops are scheduled for 2012. The Cruise Lines International Association also points out that \u201ceach cruise ship has more than 60 safety, environmental and health inspections each year\u201d and \u201ccruise line waste management and recycling programs are more stringent than those in most cities and ports.\u201d\nHistoric preservationists worry about the views of Charleston\u2019s legendary waterways being obscured by the enormous cruise ships and say the ships are getting bigger. The three largest North American cruise ships are Royal Caribbean\u2019s Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas (both with a capacity of 5,400) and NCL\u2019s Norwegian Epic (capacity of 4,200), and Charleston is not currently listed as a departure port for any of these mega cruise liners. The Carnival Fantasy has a passenger capacity of less than half of the biggest ships: 2,056. Mayor Riley says the cruise ships do not affect the best views at Waterfront Park or at the SC Aquarium, especially because only one cruise ship at a time is allowed to dock at the downtown port terminal.\nEven the development of the new cruise ship terminal at Union Pier is heavily regulated by Charleston\u2019s Board of Architectural Review (BAR) and subject to public input. A preliminary design was recently rejected by the BAR because it looked too much like a warehouse.\nCruise ship traffic does have the potential to have negative impacts, but it brings much needed jobs to the area, and the city of Charleston is going to lengths to make sure it properly maintains the delicate balance between tourism, livability, the environment and historic preservation.\nCharleston Cruise on October 25, 2011 at 3:25 pm\nI have taken one of the cruises from Charleston, and plan on taking more. Having the ships leave from this area makes it very convenient for those of us who live here. I,for one, am glad that the decision was made to bring the cruise ships in.",

        "raw_content": "In addition, the new analysis found 528,000 potentially unauthorized online bill pay enrollments during the eight-year period. The bank will refund an additional $910,000 to customers who incurred fees or charges from these enrollments.\n\u201cToday\u2019s announcement is a reminder of the disappointment that we caused to our customers and stakeholders,\u201d Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan said on a conference call with reporters. \u201cWe apologize to everyone who was harmed by unacceptable sales practices that occurred in our retail bank.\u201d\nAlthough a class-action lawsuit settlement the bank has reached applies to accounts as far back as 2002, Sloan said the bank has no plans to extend the review to earlier years. He noted the third-party analysis erred on the side of the consumer, so some of the identified accounts might not actually have been unauthorized.\nThe analysis did not lead to any additional employee or executive firings, Sloan said. The bank did not provide a state-by-state breakdown of the numbers.\nLast fall, San Francisco-based Wells reached a $185 million settlement with regulators over the allegations, but the scandal continues to dog the nation\u2019s No. 3 bank by deposits. The fallout has cost former CEO John Stumpf his job, led to changes on the board and spurred congressional hearings, lawsuits and other investigations.\nAsked by a reporter if a Wells Fargo veteran like himself should continue running the bank, Sloan said that was a question better addressed to the bank\u2019s directors.\n\u201cI serve at the pleasure of the board,\u201d Sloan said. \u201cDo I think that I should be CEO? I hope so. We\u2019re making a lot of progress here.\u201d\nHe said he appreciated that some may question whether the board has taken significant action, but he pointed to the members\u2019 independent investigation of the matter, executive firings and recently announced director changes.\nIn addition to the new refunds disclosed Thursday, the bank is set to pay out $142 million in the class-action settlement, and it has doled out another $3.7 million through a complaints process.\nMeanwhile, the bank continues to face an investigation from federal prosecutors in Charlotte and San Francisco over its sales practices, Jill Westmoreland Rose, the U.S. Attorney in Charlotte, told the Observer Wednesday.\nWells also faces scrutiny of its auto lending business after the bank admitted as many as 570,000 customers may have been charged premiums for auto insurance they did not need, a practice that in some cases may have also contributed to vehicle repossessions.\nJaret Seiberg, an analyst with Cowen and Co., wrote in a research report Thursday that the new disclosure is likely to keep Wells Fargo in the spotlight of regulators as well as boost the likelihood of congressional hearings. Democrats in the House and Senate, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, have urged new hearings into Wells. Thursday\u2019s revelations are also expected to continue to limit the ability of Wells Fargo to aggressively grow, Seiberg wrote.\n\u201cWe continue to be disappointed with how Wells Fargo has handled its fake account controversy,\u201d Seiberg wrote. \u201cEvery new disclosure seems to expand the scope of the bank\u2019s troubles, which creates the perception that the scandal is getting bigger rather than going away.\u201d\nThis file photo shows a Wells Fargo branch in Plaza Midwood.John D.

        "raw_content": "Buying a house is an exciting and stressful time. On one hand, you are BUYING A HOUSE!! You will have a place that you can call your own, and a long term investment. Investing in your future is exciting! On the other hand, you probably don\u2019t have enough cash sitting around to buy a home outright. So you will most likely be needing a mortgage. And taking on a mortgage can be stressful. Nobody \u201cwants\u201d debt. But it today\u2019s world, most people will require a mortgage.\nThe best way to figure out how much you can afford is by talking to a mortgage professional (that\u2019s me!!) and getting pre-qualified for a mortgage. Your mortgage professional will gather all information relevant to getting you a mortgage approval.\nYou want to start this process as soon as possible. Even if you aren\u2019t planning on buying a home for a year or two, you should still get pre-approved. I have had many clients come and see me for a mortgage, only to find out there was something on their credit or down payment that should have been taken care of months ago. Talking to a mortgage professional well before you are ready to buy a home can help you prepare for things that may come up.\nWhat goes into a pre-approval?\nSome things that your mortgage professional would look at are:\nIncome: Are you employed? Are you salaried or hourly? or are you paid a commission or bonus? Do you work a lot of overtime or just have part time hours? Maybe you are self employed.\nDown Payment: How much do you have for a down payment? Where is this down payment currently being held (Savings, RRSP, cash, gift, etc.)?\nCredit: Does your credit score meet the minimum requirements? Do you have any collections reporting on your bureau that you were not aware of (parking tickets, old cellphone bills, etc)? Maybe you didn\u2019t think having credit cards were important and only paid for things in cash.\nHaving your mortgage professional review all of these points is very important.\nYou have been pre-approved. Now what?\nGreat! You have been pre-approved for a mortgage! But what do you do now? Typically, this means you can start shopping for a home and make an offer on one that fits your pre-approved range.\nKeep in mind though, a pre-approval is NOT GUARANTEED!!! Let me say this again\u2026 A PRE-APPROVAL IS NOT GUARANTEED!!!! I cannot stress this enough. Just because your bank or broker said you are good to make an offer on a house, it doesn\u2019t mean that the mortgage is 100% yours. You still need to go through the full approval process. So even though you made an offer on a place, make sure you give your mortgage professional 5-10 business days to arrange a full mortgage approval (This is called a \u201cCondition of financing\u201d).\nDuring this period, make sure you don\u2019t make any large financial decisions unless you don\u2019t care about losing the pre-approval. Here is a list of things NOT to do after you get pre-approved:\nDO NOT quit your job. If you find a new job, run the scenario by your broker and they can let you know how it will affect your potential new mortgage.\nDO NOT transfer money between accounts like it was your part time job. Transferring money between accounts can make tracking the down payment messy. The Government of Canada requires lenders to track a paper trail of the down payment.\nDO NOT take on more debt. Your pre-approval was based on your debt load at that time, so if this changes, so does your approval.\nSometimes things happen. Your car might break down, and you need a new one. A job opportunity just presented itself, and it would be silly to pass it up. These makes sense. But just be aware, any changes can affect your pre-approval. Run these changes by your broker, and they can help you make a plan to get into that house!\nDo you know how much you can afford? Ask me. I can help.

        "title": "Trump Administration Denies Visas to Same-Sex Partners of Foreign Diplomats - Scott Slayton",
        "raw_content": "Trump Administration Denies Visas to Same-Sex Partners of Foreign Diplomats\nScott Slayton | Contributor to ChristianHeadlines.com | Tuesday, October 2, 2018\nThe Trump Administration implemented a new policy on Monday which denies visas to the same-sex domestic partners of foreign diplomats and United Nations employees. This reverses a policy put in place by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009. The Administration will now only grant visas to same-sex partners if they are legally married.\nThe Trump Administration argues that this policy brings the treatment of same-sex couples in line with the treatment of opposite-sex couples and is more in keeping with the 2015 Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage. The United States only issues visas to the spouses of opposite-sex couples and not domestic partners, so the new policy brings treats same-sex couples equally.\nThe United Nations issued a circular in September from the US mission to the UN explaining both the rationale and the implications of the new policy. They informed diplomats and employees with same-sex domestic partners on G-4 non-immigrant visas that they will have to be legally married in order to stay in the U.S. They have until the end of the year to comply or leave for their home country.\nOpponents of the new policy argue that this places a hardship on same-sex couples from countries that either criminalize homosexuality, do not recognize the validity of gay marriages, or only have civil unions. They say this forces the partners of UN employees and diplomats to live apart from their partners or get married in the United States and face banishment from their home country.\nSamantha Power, former U.S. ambassador to the UN, tweeted her displeasure with the new rule calling it \u201cneedlessly cruel and bigoted.\u201d She went on to point out that only 12% of UN member countries have legalized gay marriage.\nUN Globe, an organization that lobbies for \u201cequality and non-discrimination\u201d of LGBT staff at the UN and among their peacekeepers, said the new rule was \u201cunfortunate.\u201d They said, \u201csame-sex couples, unlike opposite-sex couples, have limited options when it comes to marriage.\u201d\nThe U.S. told foreign governments they would make limited exceptions for the same-sex partners of diplomats representing nations where same-sex marriage is illegal. However, the country sending the diplomat would need to provide documentation showing that they do not allow gay marriage and promise to accept the same-sex partners of U.S. diplomats. This exception does not apply to employees at the UN.\nNews reports estimate that 10 UN employees will need to marry by the end of the year or their partners will lose their visas.\nPhoto courtesy: Getty Images/Spencer Platt/Staff",

        "raw_content": "Award-Winning Actors to Star in Film Based on Life of Controversial Bishop Carlton Pearson\nBy Charity Gibson, CP Contributor | Wednesday, December 06, 2017\nCarlton Pearson sits down with Kenneth Mosley's \"We Got Next,\" | (Screenshot: YouTube/Kenneth Mosley)\nMartin Sheen and Chiwetel Ejiofor are the lead actors of an upcoming film, titled \"Come Sunday,\" based on the life of Bishop Carlton Pearson, a former leader of the evangelical movement who traded his traditional theology to preach inclusion for all religions and sexualities.\nThe Sundance Film Festival announced last week that it will premiere the controversial \"Come Sunday\" at its independent film festival, which will be held in Park City, Utah, Jan. 18-28.\nAccording to TulsaWorld.com, Oscar-nominated actor Chiwetel Ejiofor (\"12 Years a Slave\") will play Pearson, while six-time Emmy Award winner Martin Sheen (\"The West Wing\") portrays televangelist Oral Roberts, who served as a mentor to Pearson. Others featured in the film are Jason Segel (\"How I Met Your Mother\"), Lakeith Stanfield (\"Get Out\"), Danny Glover (\"Lethal Weapon\") and Condola Rashad (\"Billions\").\nIra Glass, the producer behind the National Public Radio program \"This American Life,\" is one of the producers of \"Come Sunday.\" The film's screenplay is based on a 2005 segment of \"This American Life\" that was originally titled \"Heretics.\"\n\"It's wonderful,\" Pearson, who served as a consultant on the film, told Tulsa World. \"I've seen the rough copy. Of course, my emotions are still really raw because I haven't confronted all that stuff until now.\"\nAt the height of his evangelical success in the 2000s, Pearson decided to turn his back on what he was taught as a child and publicly announce that he no longer believes in Hell. His doctrine then became \"a variation on universal reconciliation and the Gospel of Inclusion.\"\nThe movie will highlight the backlash that Pearson faced after adopting the universalist teachings claiming that all people go to Heaven.\nThe film's synopsis on the Sundance website says the movie will tell the story of Pearson risking \"his church, family and future when he questions church doctrine and finds himself branded a modern-day heretic.\"\nChristian leaders nationwide labeled Pearson a \"heretic,\" and as a result of his new theology he was banned from the Oral Roberts University campus, the school he greatly esteemed.\nOnce the leader of one of Tulsa's largest congregations of 5,000 people, Higher Dimensions Family Church, Pearson ultimately lost his congregation and church. He is now the leader of \"Streaming Consciousness Network\" in Chicago.\nHe also speaks at All Souls Unitarian Church and is listed as an affiliate minister on its website.\n\"Come Sunday\" will show at The Sundance Film festival in 2018 and will later be distributed by Netflix.\nEx-Megachurch Pentecostal Minister Who Says There's No Hell to Reportedly Be Played by Jeffrey Wright in Biopic\nHistoric Baptist Church Hires Same-Sex Couple to Lead Congregation in Nation's Capital\nPharrell Williams Talks Replacing 'God' With 'Universe' to Reach Unbelievers",

        "raw_content": "There Are No 'Moderate' Islamic Rebel Groups, Says Syrian Pastor; Argues War Is Never the Right Choice\nCP Current Page: World | Friday, September 12, 2014\nA resident of Tabqa city touring the streets on a motorcycle waves an Islamist flag in celebration after Islamic State militants took over Tabqa air base, in nearby Raqqa city August 24, 2014. Islamic State militants stormed the air base in northeast Syria on Sunday, capturing most of it from government forces after days of fighting over the strategic location, a witness and a monitoring group said. Fighting raged inside the walls of the Tabqa air base, the Syrian army's last foothold in an area otherwise controlled by IS, which has seized large areas of Syria and Iraq. | (Photo: Reuters/Stringer)\nThe pastor of a church in Aleppo has spoken out against President Barack Obama's recently announced plan to support \"moderate\" rebel groups in Syria, noting that all such groups want to establish Islamic rule. He also discouraged military intervention in the region, arguing that war can never stop war.\nPastor Mouner Ajji of Aleppo Baptist Church told The Christian Post in an email interview on Friday that he does not support Obama's strategy on Syria, and said that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should not be compared to terror group ISIS.\n\"Second, and you need to be on ground to know this, there is no such [thing] as moderate rebel groups, all rebel groups are very Islamic ones. All of them want to establish an Islamic state,\" Ajji said.\nWith the advance of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, political and religious leaders have offered various assessments on what can be done to protect persecuted minorities and the cities in the region that are falling under jihadist rule.\nObama has said that he will increase airstrikes on ISIS targets in Iraq, and will aid what he called moderate rebel groups in Syria, as opposed to ISIS or Assad's government, who have been locked in a civil war since 2011.\nIn a major speech on Wednesday, Obama told Americans that the government will strike down ISIS wherever it operates.\n\"This counter-terrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years,\" Obama said.\n\"And it is consistent with the approach I outlined earlier this year: to use force against anyone who threatens America's core interests, but to mobilize partners wherever possible to address broader challenges to international order,\" he added.\nSome church beliefs, including the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, have offered strict conditions on when the use of military force might be morally justified, sometimes called the \"just war\" doctrine.\nThe conditions that the Catechism lays out state that \"the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain; all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective; there must be serious prospects of success; the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.\"\nPope Francis has recently distanced himself from suggestions that he supports airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, however.\nWhen asked a direct question on ISIS by journalists, he said:\n\"In these cases, where there is an unjust aggression, I can only say that it is licit to stop the unjust aggressor. I underscore the verb 'stop.' I'm not saying 'bomb' or 'make war,' just 'stop.' And the means that can be used to stop them must be evaluated.\"\nAt a later speech in September, the Vatican leader added: \"War is never a satisfactory way to right injustices.\"\nHe continued: \"War leads people into a spiral of violence which becomes difficult to control. It destroys what it has taken generations to establish and leads the way to even worse conflicts and injustices.\"\nAjji told CP that he does not support the just war doctrine.\n\"I think war is stopping sin by committing sin, or by committing the same sin,\" the pastor said.\nWhen asked what lessons the Bible offers on how to respond to situations of war, he said that the question requires a lot of research, and that the New Testament does not address the subject directly.\nAs to how a terror group like ISIS can be stopped, Ajji urged the U.S. and other Western countries to stop supporting governments like Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who he accused of supporting ISIS by sending them money and weapons.\nHe also called for support for the Syrian government's army, even though he noted that \"the regime is not good.\"\nAjji said that it is a \"difficult question\" how Christians can help those suffering in Syria.\nHe offered that people fleeing the country need to be given a \"real and fast way\" of doing so, but those who choose to stay will need money for living expenses.\n\"They need [a] strong voice to [report] about their difficulties. And [they] need to convince some bishops and priests to say: 'Yes there are many kinds of difficulties facing Christians in this area; there is a plan to uproot Christianity from the area.'\"\nThe pastor noted that even if ISIS is defeated in the current conflict, there are other hardline groups in the region who are armed and hostile to Christians, while followers of Christ have no militant groups.\n\"So, more needs will appear, and more support will be needed,\" he concluded.\n5 Things Americans Can Do to Help Persecuted Christians in Iraq\nPoll: Majority of Americans Increasingly Concerned by ISIS; Support Airstrikes but Not Ground Troops\nObama Plans to Hit ISIS in Syria, Support 'Moderate' Rebels; Watchdog Group Finds Evidence of Chemical Weapons\nUS Should Give Kurds Weapons to Fight ISIS, Says Mideast Christian Leaders",

Check out this story on cincinnati.com: http://cin.ci/2ybYkc4\nChris Varias, Enquirer contributor Published 4:26 p.m. ET Sept. 19, 2017\nCreedence Clearwater Revisited plays Lawrenceburg Event Center on Friday.(Photo11: Provided/Jeff Dow)\nCreedence Clearwater Revival\u2019s run lasted only about five years, and in that time they cranked out an abundance of rock classics \u2013 \u201cProud Mary,\u201d \u201cBad Moon Rising\u201d and \u201cDown on the Corner,\u201d to name a few.\nIn fact, drummer Doug Clifford and bassist Stu Cook, the CCR rhythm section, have been now doing the Creedence-covering Creedence Clearwater Revisited band for four times as long as the original CCR.\nClifford discussed why Revisited has lasted and addressed whether the original version, fronted by John Fogerty, will reunite.\nMORE: Things to do this week: Sept. 19-24\nQuestion: Is it strange that Revisited has lasted longer than Revival?\nAnswer: It\u2019s lasted so much longer, I guess that would be what\u2019s a little odd about it. It\u2019s not surprising knowing we have three generations of fans. It\u2019s a blessing, and you don\u2019t stay around in this business if you\u2019re not getting the job done.\nQ: Listeners might call your drum playing on those old CCR singles \u201csimple.\u201d Is that how you characterize it?\nA: Less is best, and there\u2019s a lot of subtleties in what I do, especially with my left hand on the snare drum. It\u2019s not stuff that\u2019s flashy, but it has musicality, so if you want to listen a little harder, there are nice little nuggets in there that help move the song along. When we first started playing together, we were an instrumental trio, so without a vocal, I would come up with ideas and fills to give the song a little something else to fill the gap. The key to it is making sure that if you\u2019re going to play something, it makes musical sense and supports the overall message of what you\u2019re trying to accomplish.\nQ: Do you look back with fondness on CCR\u2019s Woodstock festival experience?\nA: Well, now I can, but then it was a nightmare. We could hardly get in. To this day, I don\u2019t know how the guys got the instruments in. We barely got in on a two-man helicopter-turned-three-man helicopter. Somewhat dangerous. The roads were muddy, and things were wet, and things weren\u2019t working. Bands were going way over their time. The Grateful Dead played for hours. I\u2019ve always been angry at them for that. A 45-minute version of \u201cTurn On Your Love Light,\u201d \u2013 I mean, please. I was pulling my hair out.\nQ: Where does CCR rank on a list of the greatest American rock bands?\nA: I don\u2019t know. You\u2019re asking the wrong guy. If I put us up real high, then it sounds like I\u2019m bragging. If I put us down too low, it sounds like I\u2019m being overly modest. I will say this: some of these polls that I\u2019ve seen, I thought we should have been closer to the top, but we weren\u2019t. Who comes up with that stuff anyway?\nQ: Do you stay up at night thinking about how much money you\u2019d make from a CCR reunion?\nA: No. I don\u2019t want a CCR reunion, so it\u2019s not something that I would even think about. To your point, I\u2019m sure it would be a lot, but it\u2019s not gonna happen. And money is money. I\u2019m in a point in my life where I want to be in the situation that I\u2019m in. I\u2019m very happy right now.\nQ: I thought you and Stu wanted the reunion, but John did not. Are you now not into it, because John won\u2019t budge?\nA: It would have been great 20, 25 years ago. It\u2019s way too late now. And who cares? I really don\u2019t think it\u2019s something that\u2019s talked about a lot. Moving forward, not moving backward, is what we\u2019re doing.\nWhat: Creedence Clearwater Revisited\nWhen: 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22\nWhere: Lawrenceburg Event Center, 91 Walnut St.; 888-274-6797\nRead or Share this story: http://cin.ci/2ybYkc4",

        "title": "Adopting Agile Practices to Achieve a Competitive Advantage",
        "raw_content": "Published 25 October 2018 by Christina Ohanian\nDeliver quality at speed. This is now the success mantra in our world of digital business. Organisations are increasingly being asked to react quicker to technological developments in their respective industries and many of them are feeling an intense pressure around needing to better adapt to our uncertain world. A world where change is the only real constant and where automated platforms such as AI and Machine Learning are steering behaviours, trends and customer demands. What organisations are discovering is that in order to keep up with these new demands and industry competition, traditional approaches for delivering products and services no longer fit the bill. What\u2019s needed is a real shift in thinking, strategising and, more importantly, ways of working to help these companies survive and \u2018stay in game\u2019.\nIn today\u2019s world, \u2018staying in the game\u2019 is even more crucial than ever. In our last blog post on this topic, we shed light on some of the companies, like Amazon, Adobe and Facebook, who have bought into a new culture of fast and frequent delivery of their products and services, believing that it will help them adapt faster and stay ahead of their closest competition. And they\u2019re not alone \u2013 banks, insurance companies and well known online and high street retailers have all recognised the benefits of Agile ways of working \u2013 not just in their tech departments, but across the business.\nSo, what is it about Agile?\nWe\u2019ll have all come across the term \u2018Agile\u2019 or the phrase \u2018Agile ways of working\u2019. But just to make sure we\u2019re all on the same page, let\u2019s zoom out for a moment and take it back to its core. Agile, in it\u2019s holistic form, is all about having the ability to respond to change, especially in complex and uncertain environments. It\u2019s a way of working that was developed in the world of software development and is focussed on solving problems through incremental delivery and continuous planning & improvement through self-organising, cross-functional teams.\nBut the question that remains is: why Agile? And why are so many companies choosing to adopt this way of working? Let\u2019s take a look at some of the benefits that come from Agile ways of working and how it can have a positive impact on organisations that choose to embed it.\nEmpowerment through collaboration and self organisation\nPeople are at the heart of every organisation. With the emerging state of play with Agile and it\u2019s focus on empowerment, self organising teams, and people, the spotlight is really shining on teamwork more so than ever.\nLeaders are always searching for ways to improve how their teams, departments and organisations collaborate. The truth is that Agile isn\u2019t just about how we improve processes and frequently deliver products and services. It\u2019s also (and perhaps most importantly) about how organisations trust, empower and enable their teams and individuals within their company to solve problems and take responsibility and ownership for outcomes. Research has shown that employees that work for organisations that empower their staff to take ownership of their work are more productive, focused and happy and are more likely to stick around for a longer period of time, which means their companies retain their knowledge for longer which, in turn, can help sustain business growth. Empowering your people with the opportunity to learn, make mistakes and innovate can lead to extraordinary ideas, breakthroughs and powerful thought leadership.\nValue-focused delivery\nAs a business grows and scales, so does the long list of everything that it wants to achieve. However, a common struggle that many businesses experience is with the decision around what order they should be prioritising this work. Many industry leaders have made the grand mistake of optimising flow and efficiency without focusing on value: they either wind up delivering products and services that no one really uses or their finished product does not generate nearly half the cost of what was invested to create it in the first place.\nThe key here is to learn to make decisions based on the value they deliver to the end user and the business. Understanding value \u2013 whether that\u2019s value to the business or the customer \u2013 is at the heart of Agile delivery. Businesses can then use Agile to understand where they need to invest in their products and services, how they can generate a ROI and, in turn, understand how they can continuously delight and retain their customers.\nContinuous improvement lends itself to all areas of work, from day to day processes, to major changes in company structure and focus. Whether it\u2019s learning through making mistakes, such as an incorrect line of code or releasing a product to market with a major defect, acknowledging and actioning areas of improvement are vital to a healthy, growing and vibrant organisation.\nIn the same respect, some things don\u2019t always need to be broken for a fix or improvement to be required. Sometimes optimisation and improvements are necessary, because they bring about other benefits and better opportunities. I know they say \u201cif it ain\u2019t broke don\u2019t fix it\u201d, but at the same time if an opportunity presents itself that could really improve your business or team then be brave and give it a go \u2013 especially if the current solution, which may work well functionally, isn\u2019t providing any value! Continuous improvement doesn\u2019t have to be complicated, but it requires attention and commitment. If you\u2019re not continuously looking for ways to improve then you\u2019re not evolving, and in business today, change and new ideas are what sets businesses apart.\nMaintaining flexibility in your business\nAs I stated earlier in this post, we live in a world of constant change. Everyday the tech landscape is shifting, which has not only affected digital businesses but pretty much every business across the globe. With new tech emerging everyday, businesses must learn to be flexible, enabling them to change focus as and when necessary. Instead of ploughing through with a fixed long term, five year plan (which could very well lead to massive budget waste and the implementation of soon-to-be obsolete technology), organisations need to think about how to keep pace with what\u2019s happening outside the four walls of the business.\nFlexibility, in this case, means having achievable aims and targets, without concrete fixed long terms plans. It means making decisions to fund projects with a shorter timescale, in order to keep options open and allow room for change without investing hefty amounts of cash. Remember, there are many ways to reach a desired outcome, so keep your options open and have space to manoeuvre.\nSpeed to market and early feedback\nAgile enables and encourages businesses to launch new products and services within a few months, or in some cases weeks, of inception. This not only gives businesses a competitive edge, it also offers the opportunity to make informed decisions, improving products and services based on real, up to date customer feedback instead of assumptions and guesswork about what customers want.\nAgile encourages businesses to quickly iterate on delivery, getting new tools, tech and opportunities into the hands of customers and then using early feedback to embellish their products and services. Speed to market also gives organisations the first mover advantage, especially if the product is the first of its kind. They can then confirm their assumptions very quickly and determine what the next step or direction should be. Conversely, if their assumptions are incorrect it allows the business to quickly change direction and focus.\nWe\u2019ve only just scratched the surface\u2026\nNow, it\u2019s fair to say that we have only scratched the surface when it comes to the benefits of an Agile approach, and there are many more areas we can dig deep into, particularly the pitfalls of Agile and overcoming some of its difficulties and challenges (watch this space!).\nHowever it\u2019s important to understand that there is no one size fits all when it comes to Agile and the need for change will be different for every organisation. However, one thing I think we can all agree on is that how we work today requires change. The evolution of the current business landscape requires business leaders to embed a new kind of culture in their organisations, that enables and encourages their employees to continuously inspect ways of working and adapt to our ever-changing and uncertain world.\nIf you want to learn more about Agile and how it can benefit your business, check out our Agile course on our website or visit our YouTube channel to watch our mini lesson on how \u2018scrum\u2019 works.\nThis blog post is from Circus Street\u2019s very own Scrum Master & Agile Coach, Christina Ohanian.

Charlie looks forward to the time as a chance to rediscover his past, \"to find out who and what I really am.\nCharlie also meets his neighbor, Fay Lillman. Fay, an uninhibited artist who is attracted to him, intrigues Charlie. Charlie has constructed a huge, plastic maze for Algernon. Algernon maneuvers this maze without the goal of food. When Fay discovers the room-size maze, she jokingly acknowledges it as art \u2014 sculpture \u2014 and entitles it \"Life is just a box of mazes.\" Fay also brings a new mouse, Minnie, to the maze; Algernon is no longer alone. However, Algernon's behavior is becoming very erratic. He not only bites Fay, but he injures Minnie as well.\nOne night, Fay attempts to seduce Charlie and only succeeds in getting him drunk. While intoxicated, the old Charlie re-emerges. Fay watches in fright and wonderment as Charlie becomes a child. Through this experience, Charlie learns that the old Charlie is still very much with him, only temporarily covered up with knowledge. Charlie does have sex with Fay, however, being able to block out his old feelings and the third-person Charlie who always interfered with his relationship with Miss Kinnian.\nCharlie resumes an old pastime of going to movies, but he is unable to stay throughout the film because of feelings of emptiness. After several attempts, he determines that these feelings are actually feelings of loneliness. After one of these events, he goes to a diner and catches himself participating in the humiliation of a developmentally disabled dishwasher. At first he is amused like all the other patrons at the restaurant, but when he realizes the connection between his former self and the dishwasher, he jumps up and shouts, \"He's a human being!\" Reflecting on the incident, Charlie realizes that he needs to give something of himself to others. He decides to apply for a grant from the Welberg Foundation to work on the project and come up with some answers to improve the experiment and make its outcome more successful. He also decides that he can't be alone anymore and finally calls Alice. Sensing urgency and afraid of Algernon's increasingly erratic behavior, Charlie realizes that he must return to Beekman soon.\nCharlie continues to remember his family's relationships and how they shaped his life. He recalls the night that his father intervened on his behalf and saved his life, a life that Matt thought was worth saving. He also remembers his mother and sister. He's not sure he wants to see Norma again, who \"flowered in our garden\" as Charlie became a weed. But his biggest question is whether or not to see his mother: \"What good would it do to see her now?. . . Is the past worth knowing?\" These questions of family remain important as therapists search patients' memories for childhood traumas, as adopted children search for their birth parents, and as family trees continue to be traced through umpteen generations as people seek to reconnect with their genetic past. The novel doesn't really answer Charlie's question. We can only imagine Charlie's life in the Warren Home and whether any of the people he reconnected with in his post-surgery days will be there for him. But we might also consider how Charlie's life would have proceeded without the eventual regression that is soon to happen to him. Could he ever have gone home again? Would he and Norma reconnect? Should his father have been given another chance? Would the past have been worth knowing?\nThrough a reporter's lead, Charlie locates his father and is anxious to reunite with him. However, when the time comes to identify himself to Matt, Charlie is unable to do so. The evolved Charlie is looking at his father face to face, but it is the original Charlie who reacts to him. Charlie leaves without gaining his father's acceptance for the person he is today.\nCharlie's friendship with his neighbor, Fay, is one of complete spontaneity. With every other woman in his life, the evolved Charlie has to deal with the original Charlie's history. Fay only knows the evolved Charlie, and she likes him. She doesn't know anything about his operation and simply likes Charlie for himself \u2014 a totally new experience for him. The original Charlie is unable to have any impact on their relationship as Fay has no connection to that Charlie and, consequently, his mother. Fay is the woman who can finally unlock his physical side.\nThe two current women in Charlie's life, Alice and Fay, can be used to illustrate Charlie's total evolution. Alice represents Charlie's intellectual growth. She is there when he first attempts to read and has charted his unfettered growth beyond hers. She is a link between his past and his present. Fay represents his emotional growth. She is the new friend whom he trusts with his feelings. She is attracted to him, and he to her, but without the guilt that his mother instilled in him. When Fay brings home another man, Charlie experiences jealousy \u2014 not because he is in love with her, but rather because he is jealous of the other man's apparent ability to seduce her.\nThroughout Charlie's personal odyssey to unlock his emotional/sexual sides, the original Charlie still lurks. Sometimes he appears to the evolved Charlie as a watcher, and sometimes the evolved Charlie just senses that he is present. Unnerving at first, Charlie eventually becomes confident in himself and defies the original Charlie to watch: \". . .[G]o ahead, you poor bastard \u2014 watch. I don't give a damn any more.\" After making love to Fay, Charlie attempts to deceive the original Charlie. The evolved Charlie tries unsuccessfully to merge the two women by using the thought of Fay to break through to the emotional side with Alice. As Charlie and Fay's relationship continues, the original Charlie stops watching. He no longer needs to watch; his emotional needs as well as his physical needs are being satisfied.\nCharlie is also developing a social conscience. For example, he writes in this progress report, \"I've got to stop worrying about my-self \u2014 my past and my future. Let me give something of myself to others.\" His concept of friendship has expanded to a broader group, taking in all people of low intelligence now and in the future. This broadening marks a significant evolution in his character as he moves outward from his self-centered thinking and recognizes his own complicity in his isolation. He tells Alice, \"Somehow I've be-come separated emotionally from everyone and everything. . . . I've got to grow up.\" We see the beginning of Charlie's integration of his social and intellectual natures. Unfortunately, time is running out.\nAlgernon's life with Charlie is changing as well. Charlie notes, \"He seems listless and confused, and though he still learns new problems without external rewards, his performance is peculiar.\" Algernon's personality takes a hostile turn, and he bites not only Alice but also Minnie, the mouse Fay brought to Algernon as a friend. Terrified that this behavior of Algernon's is a preview of what he himself will have to endure, Charlie interprets a sense of urgency through Algernon and makes plans to return to the lab.\ngauze here, a thin mist.\nbrusque rough or abrupt in manner or speech.\nGreenwich Village a section of New York City, on the lower-west side of Manhattan, noted as a center for artists and writers.\ndilettantes here, people who follow an art or science only for amuse-ment and in a superficial way.\nkimono a loose outer garment with short, wide sleeves and a sash.\nvacuous having or showing lack of intelligence, interest, or thought; stupid, senseless, or inane.\nnaivete the quality of being na\u00efve, meaning simple and childlike.\nusurp to take or assume power.\npolygamy having two or more wives or husbands at the same time; plural marriage.\nPrevious PROGRESS REPORT 13",

It guarantees a broad range of everyday human rights related to employment, housing, health, education, social protection and welfare.\nThe Charter lays specific emphasis on the protection of vulnerable persons such as elderly people, children, people with disabilities and migrants. It requires that enjoyment of the abovementioned rights be guaranteed without discrimination.\nNo other legal instrument at pan-European level can provide such an extensive and complete protection of social rights as that provided by the Charter, which also serves as a point of reference in European Union law; most of the social rights in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights are based on the relevant articles of the Charter.\nThe Charter is therefore seen as the Social Constitution of Europe and represents an essential component of the continent\u2019s human rights architecture.\nThe 7th edition of the Collected texts provides an updated account of all of the relevant instruments of the Charter, and the functioning of the various bodies which participate in the monitoring procedures.\nMore information about the European Social Charter\nMore information about the Turin Process for the European Social Charter\nStudy on the European Pillar of Social Rights and the role of the European Social Charter in the European Union legal order\nThe study, conducted by Olivier de Schutter, Professor at UCLouvain and SciencesPo and Member of the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, was initiated following the request of the CoE-FRA-ENNHRI-Equinet Platform on Economic and Social Rights and it was presented at the last...\nEuropean Social Charter and European Convention on Human Rights\nEuropean Social Charter and European Union law\nImplementation of social rights in the Council of Europe member States\ndirect access direct access\nCoE-FRA-ENNHRI-EQUINET Platform on social and economic rights",

        "raw_content": "How to Apply for a Certificate of Registration\nThe College has developed comprehensive application packages that provide detailed information regarding the requirements for registration, the timelines for meeting the requirements, and relevant fees.\nApplicants who are registered in another Canadian Province\nApplicants who are International Graduates\nIn general, the application process is as follows:\nMeet the Academic Requirement\nApplicants must successfully complete a recognized/approved academic program.

It is your responsibility to submit this information to the College. As noted above, under the Ontario Labour Mobility Act, applicants who are registered with an equivalent Certificate of Registration in another Canadian jurisdiction who apply for registration in Ontario are not required to complete the CSAO/CEO-ECO exam. However, they are required to provide a Certificate of Standing directly from the Canadian jurisdiction where they are currently registered.\nOntario Optometric Jurisprudence Examination\nThe College will send you study material for the Ontario Optometric Jurisprudence Examination not less than four weeks before the date of your exam. Here is a link to the electronic version of the study material. The exam is administered only by the College and is held six times annually. Two administrations, one in the spring and one in the fall, are accompanied by a one-day seminar. The other 4 administrations are offered at the College offices without the seminar. You will be notified of the dates and locations and will be permitted to register for the date of your choice. Please note that your application for registration is open for a maximum of 24 months, however the Ontario Optometric Jurisprudence Examination must be successfully completed within 12 months of your application being received by the College. The dates for the Jurisprudence Exam are on the calendar located on the College website.\nSubmit Additional Documents\nTo provide evidence that an applicant has met this requirement, each applicant must provide a CPIC Vulnerable Sector (VS) check as part of the registration process from the respective jurisdiction in Canada in addition to the jurisdiction(s) in which they practised in the past. This process verifies whether an individual has a criminal record, as well as any record suspensions for sexual offences and local police records for information relevant to the VS check. The information that can be legally disclosed is provided to the applicant. The results of a CPIC VS check must be dated within six months of the applicant becoming registered. If the applicant does not become registered within six months of the date the CPIC VS check results were issued by the police, the applicant will be required to submit an updated CPIC VS check.\nCitizenship/Permanent Resident Status/authorization to practice\nIf you are a Canadian citizen, have a photocopy of your Birth Certificate, Canadian Passport or Citizenship Identification Card notarized and submit it with your application form. If you have Permanent Resident Status or authorization to practise optometry under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, have a photocopy of your Permanent Resident Status or authorization notarized and submit it with your application form. This document must be valid in order for your Certificate of Registration to be issued and activated.\nIf you have ever been licensed or registered to practise optometry or any other regulated health profession anywhere outside Ontario, arrange for the licensing body where you practised to complete a Certificate of Standing outlining your current status in that jurisdiction. A Certificate of Standing must be dated no more than six months before your Certificate of Registration is issued. Applicants must ensure that they download the most recent version of the Certificate of Standing form from the College\u2019s website.\nThe membership year runs from January 1 through December 31. New registrants pay a pro-rated fee for the year in which they become registered. An invoice will be sent to new members when they become registered.\nThe Registration Decision and Appeals\nInitially, the Registrar considers each application for registration. If the Registrar is satisfied that all of the registration requirements have been met, the applicant is issued a Certificate of Registration. If the Registrar has doubts about whether or not the applicant meets the requirements for registration, or if the Registrar intends to refuse the application or to attach terms, conditions or limitations to the Certificate of Registration, the application is referred to the Registration Committee. The applicant has the right to submit a written submission for the Committee\u2019s consideration with respect to their application. If the applicant is not satisfied with the Registration Committee\u2019s decision, he or she may request an appeal of the decision before the Health Professions Appeal and Review Board in the form of either an oral hearing or a document review. The Board\u2019s decision may be further appealed to the Divisional Court.\nDetailed information regarding timelines is included in each application package. Applications for registration are open for a maximum of two years from the date they are received by the College. Most applicants are able to complete the application process in less than one year. The College communicates with applicants throughout the application process, confirming when requirements are met and/or are still outstanding.\nUnder the Ontario Labour Mobility Act, applicants who are registered with an equivalent Certificate of Registration in another Canadian jurisdiction who apply for registration in Ontario will be asked to provide a notarized copy of their Doctor of Optometry degree certificate as part of the application package for administrative purposes only. They are required to successfully complete the Ontario Optometric Jurisprudence Exam and meet all of the administrative requirements for registration including providing a Certificate of Standing directly from the Canadian jurisdiction where they are currently registered. Applicants must ensure that they download the most recent version of the Certificate of Standing form from the College\u2019s website. These applicants are to have practised the profession of optometry to the extent that would be permitted by a general certificate of registration at any time in the three years immediately before the date of that applicant\u2019s application. If the applicant is unable to do so, he/she must meet any further requirement to undertake, obtain or undergo material additional training, experience, examinations or assessments that may be specified by a panel of the Registration Committee.",

        "title": "Will Gardner\u2019s Endorsement Of Trump Muzzle His GOP Critics? - Colorado Pols",
        "raw_content": "Will Gardner\u2019s Endorsement Of Trump Muzzle His GOP Critics?\nA longtime nonpartisan political analyst predicted Monday that Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner\u2019s endorsement of Trump has \u201cshut the door\u201d on any efforts to primary the first-term Republican prior to his expected re-election bid in 2020.\nIn an appearance on Colorado Public Radio Monday, Jennifer Duffy, a senior editor at the Cook Political Report, had this to say about Gardner\u2019s endorsement of Trump:\n\u201cI think [Gardner], one: endorsed the inevitable, but two: he also sent a message to Trump supporters in the state that he was with the president because \u2013 as a lot of Republicans learned in 2018 \u2013 to be against the president is to pretty much earn yourself a primary opponent,\u201d said Duffy. \u201cSo he shut that door.\u201d\nSince Gardner took office, he has faced livid attacks from base Republicans, who see him as mealy-mouthed and have floated the name of State Rep. Patrick Neville (R-Castle Rock) as a great choice to challenge Gardner in a primary. Earlier this year, GOP gadflys, like Marc Zarlengo, and others, called for someone to challenge Gardner.\nBut Gardner\u2019s endorsement of Trump could indeed help stave off a primary challenge, said Steve Barlock, who led the Trump campaign in Denver.\n\u201cCory had only only one way to protect himself, and that was to endorse Trump,\u201d said Barlock, adding that the \u201cTrump base\u201d in Colorado was completely infuriated at Gardner\u2019s path-breaking decision to support ending the partial government shutdown without funding a border wall.\nGardner needs to support Trump \u201c100 percent\u201d going forward, said Barlock.\n\u201cIt will be, \u2018Cory, did you do everything for Trump? We\u2019re voting for you. If you didn\u2019t do everything for Trump, you\u2019re on your own, buddy,'\u201d said Barlock.\nKNUS 710-AM radio host Julie Hayden says Gardner\u2019s endorsement of Trump isn\u2019t very meaningful to Republicans who don\u2019t trust Gardner, but this doesn\u2019t mean a primary is likely or would be successful.\n\u201cCory Gardner\u2019s endorsement of Trump does not do a heck of a lot right now to impress the Republicans who have had concerns about Gardner,\u201d said Hayden. \u201cFrom my point of view, Cory Gardner seems to flip flop and endorse Trump when he thinks it\u2019s good for him. So I don\u2019t think people like me are swayed by [Gardner endorsing Trump].\u201d\nIn fact, Gardner, who called Trump a \u201cbuffoon in 2015,\u201d said in March of 2016 that he\u2019d vote for the mogul after he was asked seven times in a row by the Wall Street Journal whether he\u2019d do so. A few months later, after Trump\u2019s infamous pussy-grabbing comment come to light, Gardner said flatly, \u201cI will not vote for Donald Trump.\u201d\n\u201cI cannot and will not support someone who brags about degrading and assaulting women,\u201d Gardner said at the time, promising to vote for Mike Pence instead.\nGardner now has a 90 percent lifetime pro-Trump voting record, which has fallen to 50 percent pro-Trump during the current congressional session.\n\u201cPeople like me are going to be keeping a very close eye on what Cory Gardner says and does,\u201d said Hayden, who\u2019s a former reporter at Fox 31 Denver.\nHayden added that, while she likes other Republicans more than Gardner on the issues, the chances of anyone mounting a successful primary challenge against Gardner are extremely low, given his likely financial advantage.\nGardner followed his Trump endorsement last week with a rare visit to a Republican organizational meeting in Adams County, according to local GOP district captain Ben Nicholas, speaking to Hayden on KNUS Monday.\nGardner surprised Adams GOP attendees by \u201cfinally\u201d appearing at the meeting, after six years of \u201cavoiding us like the plague,\u201d said Nicholas on air.\nThis could be another signal, in addition to his unexpected Trump endorsement, that Gardner is trying head off a conservative primary challenge before it starts frothing at the mouth in public.\nShortly after the November election, GOP pollster David Flaherty said Gardner could \u201cvery well\u201d face a primary challenge, but it would have a \u201cminuscule\u201d chance of success.\nThose self-styled GOP \"critics\" would rather be right than get elected. Gardner's re-election run will be difficult as it is, unless the Dems give him some fringe left looney to run against.\nIf not Gardner, then who, as Dick Wadhams asked when he cleaned Chuck Bonniwell's clock in that interview referenced in the 3rd paragraph above (\"livid attacks\"). People like one of the Nevilles would be toast against almost any Dem.\nIf Timmy \"Pa\" Neville were to actually take on Gardner in a primary, perhaps the Dems could nominate Tammy Story for U.S. Senate.\nYou make a point:\nIf he gets primaried from the right and loses, the winner loses in the general.\nWhat if he gets primaried from the middle and loses? Then the winner has a lot of field.\nI hate identity politics \u2013 but I don't know enough R's to even suggest any names. Except one \u2013 moderate, informed, intelligent . Would she do it?\nCory can endorse Trump now and then un-endorse him after the state senatorial primary in June 2020. Look at what happened in 2016. He opposed Trump, then after the national convention, Gardner supported him. Then after Access Hollywood tape came out, he un-endorsed Trump and cast a symbolic vote for Mike Pence.\nHe can do the same again in the fall of 2020, depending on how Trump's poll numbers are in Colorado.\nCory Gardner seems to flip flop and endorse Trump when he thinks it\u2019s good for him.\nCon Man Cory is an insincere opportunistic sycophant? Say it isn't so, Dean Singleton!\nRoger Edwards; he\u2019s tanned, rested, and ready!\nMost of Individual-1's base is about to find that the tax cut will have a negative impact on all but the most wealthy. Might tax costs matter more than sexual payoffs?\nThe only way Cory worries about a primary is if he loses substantial support from at least one, and possibly two of the following:\nINDUSTRY \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026TOTAL\u2026\u2026\u2026INDIVIDUAL\u2026..PACS\nSecurities & Investment\u2026$960,617\u2026$915,617\u2026$ 45,000\nOil & Gas\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026$800,099\u2026.$494,399\u2026$305,700\nReal Estate\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026..$604,721\u2026$569,221\u2026$ 35,500",

        "raw_content": "How to Use FSAs, HSAs, and HRAs to Cut Your Healthcare Costs\nYes, the names are confusing. But these savings accounts can make your healthcare expenses more affordable.\nShopping for health insurance for 2019 isn\u2019t just about finding the lowest-cost plan that suits your medical needs. It\u2019s also about taking advantage of often confusing savings opportunities to lower your healthcare costs.\nWhether you\u2019re getting healthcare coverage from your employer or buying it on your own, you\u2019re likely to be offered an alphabet soup of savings choices, including a flexible spending account, health savings account, or health reimbursement arrangement.\nFunds in these accounts can be spent only on qualifying medical expenses and may include contributions from your employer or pretax earnings that can reduce your taxable income.\nAlthough the acronyms are similar, FSAs, HSAs, and HRAs have distinct differences, and you can\u2019t use them in conjunction with each other. That adds a layer of complexity on top of the other factors you need to consider when choosing a plan, including the amount you\u2019ll pay in premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs.\nHow to Survive a High-Deductible Health Plan\nIt's Time to Spend Your Flexible Spending Account Money\nAn HSA Can Help You Save for Retirement\nCR's Guide to Health Insurance\nStill, the potential savings makes it worth taking the time to figure out whether one of these accounts makes sense for you to use, says Kim Buckey, vice president of client services at DirectPath, which provides benefits education and enrollment services to employers.\n\u201cMore companies and insurers are offering these options as a way to combat higher healthcare costs, but people are wary about using them,\u201d Buckey says. \u201cThere\u2019s a serious lack of understanding of how these plans work.\u201d\nFor many people, the biggest drawback to these accounts is the requirement to put in money up front to cover future healthcare costs. That\u2019s a challenge if you\u2019re already struggling to pay premiums or deductibles. But if you can find a way to do it, funding one of these accounts can save you money in the long run, Buckey says.\nTo understand how these accounts work\u2014and to avoid missing out on these savings\u2014here\u2019s what you need to know about FSAs, HSAs, and HRAs:\nWith an FSA, which is available only in workplace healthcare plans, you put away money pretax to pay for medical expenses that your insurer doesn\u2019t cover.\nThat includes the deductibles you have to pay before your insurance kicks in, as well as co-pays (the flat fees you pay to go to a doctor or hospital, or to have a medical treatment). But FSAs can\u2019t be used to pay your insurance premiums, which are deducted pretax from your paycheck.\nThe maximum you could contribute in 2018 was $2,650. The IRS hasn\u2019t announced 2019 limits yet, but based on the inflation rate, it\u2019s expected to rise to $2,700.\nBy saving pretax, you get an immediate tax break. As in a 401(k) retirement savings plan, your contribution is funneled from your paycheck into the account, which lowers your taxable income. As long as you spend the money on qualified medical expenses, you are never taxed on it.\nThe amount you save in taxes will depend on your income bracket and how much you put into the account. But the breaks could add up to significant sums.\nFor example, if you\u2019re in the 32 percent tax bracket, and you put the maximum in your FSA, you\u2019ll avoid $848 per year in taxes. You can estimate your savings with this calculator offered by WageWorks.\nOne thing that trips people up is figuring out how much to put in the account. If you\u2019re using an FSA for the first time, be conservative\u2014you don\u2019t have to put in the maximum. Start with, say, $500. If you find that you go through the money quickly, put more in the following year. One strategy, however, is to put in enough to cover your deductible because you know you\u2019ll have to pay that first.\nAnother FSA hurdle is time pressure\u2014if you don\u2019t spend the money before the deadline, typically year-end, you lose it. But some companies give workers till mid-March of the following year to use up their funds. Some employers also give you the option of rolling over up to $500 to use in the coming year. Check to see how your company\u2019s plan works.\nIf you find yourself near year-end with unspent FSA funds, don\u2019t stress. You can spend those funds on a wide variety of healthcare products and services\u2014everything from dental care to acupuncture to reading glasses. If you have a prescription or doctor\u2019s note, there are even more items and treatments that are covered.\nAn easy way to see what qualifies as a medical expense is to go to FSAStore.com. Everything sold on its site is eligible for FSA spending, and items that need a doctor\u2019s approval are clearly marked.\nSimilar to an FSA, you put pretax money into an HSA, which can be used tax-free for qualified medical expenses.\nUnlike an FSA, though, employer insurance isn\u2019t required to get an HSA. But you do have to opt for a high-deductible health plan (HDHP), which is insurance with a deductible of at least $1,350 per year (PDF) for an individual or $2,700 for a family for 2019.\nYou can put more in an HSA than in an FSA: up to $3,500 annually for individuals and $7,000 for families in 2019. Those 55 or older can save an additional $1,000 per year.\nSome employers will even contribute money to your HSA\u2014one-quarter of workers with HDHPs get employer contributions that average $600, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation benefits survey. (For those with employer insurance, you generally can\u2019t have both an FSA and an HSA.)\nAnother advantage of HSAs is portability\u2014you can take your account with you if you change health plans or get other job-based insurance. You can also invest HSA money in stock and bond funds, which potentially allows you to build even more savngs.\nBecause you can\u2019t have an HSA without a high-deductible plan, you first need to decide whether an HDHP is right for you.\nHigh-deductible plans are attractive because they have lower premiums than traditional health plans. Generally, if you\u2019re young and healthy, you might do best with an HDHP because your medical spending is unlikely to hit the deductible.\nOtherwise, you may come out ahead by paying a higher premium for traditional insurance if you\u2019re likely to reach the deductible, allowing more of your healthcare costs to be covered by insurance.\nHDHPs are increasingly common for people with employer insurance and those who buy their own health insurance on the open market.\nSome 29 percent of employers offer HDHPs with an HSA option, up from 10 percent a decade ago, according to the Kaiser survey. The average deductible on the benchmark Silver plans sold through the Affordable Care Act exchanges is $4,000 for an individual.\nIf you do opt for an HSA and you can avoid spending that money for current healthcare expenses, your account can keep growing into retirement. Decades from now, having a fund of tax-free money to spend on medical care could be especially valuable. And if you spend the money on nonqualified medical expenses after age 65, you won\u2019t be penalized, though you will owe income tax.\nIn an HRA, your employer reimburses you for a range of healthcare expenses that your insurance doesn\u2019t cover. Your employer determines which to reimburse you for based on an IRS-approved list of expenses.\nYour employer also decides how much it will fund, but on average, companies reimbursed $1,149 for an individual and $2,288 for families in 2018. You can\u2019t contribute your own money to the account because only employer funds can be used. HRAs don\u2019t have to be paired with a high-deductible health plan, though they often are.\nIf you don\u2019t spend the maximum covered by your HRA, the money can roll over to the next year. But if you leave the company, you lose the allotted funds. Some employers make HRA contributions contingent on other factors, such as completing wellness programs. Given those restrictions, HRAs are less attractive and less common\u2014just 7 percent of employers with insurance benefits offer HRAs.\nBut that could change. Last month the Trump administration proposed a new regulation to expand the use of HRAs. Employers would be allowed to use HRA funds to reimburse employees who purchase their own health insurance on the individual market, not just for eligible healthcare expenses incurred while insured by the company.\nBuckey at DirectPath says the option is likely to be attractive to small and midsized employers who find it costly to offer any or adequate insurance to workers. And for employees, it could give them a wider choice of insurance plans.\nBut it\u2019s less clear that the option would work well for consumers, Buckey says. \u201cIt\u2019s great to provide more choice, but consumers need to know how to navigate those choices,\u201d Buckey says. \u201cMost people struggle to understand basic healthcare terminology, and it remains to be seen whether they would get any support.\u201d\nHow Health Savings Accounts Work\n8 Things to Know About ACA Open Enrollment This Year\n6 Ways Workers Can Save on Healthcare Costs in 2019\nShort-Term Health Insurance Isn't as Cheap as You Think",

        "title": "Why Get Spinal X-Rays When Visiting A Chiropractor?",
        "raw_content": "\u00bb Why Get Spinal X-Rays When Visiting A Chiropractor?\nWhy Get Spinal X-Rays When Visiting A Chiropractor?\n\u201cI don\u2019t want x-rays,\u201d the new patient scheduling on the phone tells the front desk staff. This is a conversation we have regularly with patients when they schedule, but one that is most often being determined by cost and not by need. We see medical offices, chiropractic offices, and hospitals charge a ton for x-rays but that\u2019s not a good factor in deciding if you need one or not.\nSome people are surprised with how little x-rays really cost these days. Insurance typically reimburses us no more than $50 per area x-rayed, so that\u2019s all we charge for our cash patients as well. We do see charges as high as $300 or more for routine x-rays, so I can understand why patients are hesitant in the up front cost. However, you have to be safe when it comes to your spine. You can\u2019t simultaneously wonder if chiropractic is safe and then stop the doctor from utilizing an easily accessible test to make sure you\u2019re good to go.\nNot all patients need x-rays\nNot all patients must have spinal x-rays before they are adjusted, and this is a source of debate even amongst chiropractors. But every time I start to think that \u201cmaybe we don\u2019t need x-rays,\u201d in comes a patient that surprises us with what we find. We recently found an old fracture on the back of a patient\u2019s vertebra, right where the neck connects to the mid back. She was having pain when putting a barbell across her back when working out. Think that might cause some pain? There\u2019s no way we would have found it without an x-ray.\nLet\u2019s talk about what we\u2019re looking for and why we need x-rays\u2026\nX-rays are taken after trauma\u2026\nBeen in a car accident? It\u2019s a good idea to get some x-rays in most cases, especially of the neck. You\u2019re looking for fractures. Some people mistakenly believe that a broken bone would be immediately felt by the patient. You can have a hairline fracture, where everything\u2019s in place and you\u2019ll likely heal fine\u2026 but you don\u2019t want a chiropractor putting pressure into that area.\nYou can also have a compression fracture, where it appears that the vertebra is collapsing on itself. This is also an area to be avoided and one that you\u2019ll need to keep an eye on. Not all spinal traumas require an x-ray, but we will ask a lot of questions about the type of trauma you had and will do an examination before ordering a radiographic examination.\nX-rays are taken if you\u2019re over 40\u2026\nI\u2019m over 40 and have had this talk with multiple healthcare providers. \u201cNow that you\u2019re over 40\u2026\u201d is a common phrase because so much starts to change when the doctor evaluates you for any type of condition. There are plenty of conditions that just don\u2019t show up in people under 40 with the same frequency as those over 40. Like cancer. That\u2019s the big one. There\u2019s a specific type of cancer, called metastatic cancer that was drilled into our heads in school. I came out of school assuming that I would see it in about 50% of my patients. Thankfully, we\u2019ve only found it twice in 21 years of practice.\nMetastatic cancer means your cancer has spread. It can spread to the spine and the bones. You definitely don\u2019t want a chiropractor pushing into a compromised area. Cancer in the bones means weaker bones and bones that can easily fracture. The last thing we want is to make anything worse. A quick x-ray let\u2019s us know that you\u2019re clear to get adjusted. Low back pain can be caused by a lot of different conditions, and pathology (cancer) is one of them.\nX-rays are taken to be safe\u2026\nHave you heard of a condition called spondylolisthesis? Far more common than I would like, but it involves a vertebra sliding forward over the vertebra below it. They have different \u201cgrades\u201d of this condition, based on how far forward that bone has slipped out place. Guess what you don\u2019t want to do to a patient that has this problem? That\u2019s right, push it more forward. I had a patient who\u2019s brother-in-law was seeing a patient for years and didn\u2019t have x-rays. One day, a push into that area just pushed it too far and severe pain and problems followed. It\u2019s a good idea to know if you have this, and x-ray is the only way.\nX-rays are taken for proper spinal assessment\u2026\n\u201cHow long will it take me to get better?\u201d That\u2019s a tough question and one that is difficult to answer without an x-ray. If two patients are standing side-by-side, you don\u2019t really know which one has the worse spinal degeneration. Spinal degeneration, also called osteoarthritis, is a strong indicator as to how long you\u2019ve had the problem (not just the symptom).\nEven if the symptoms started last week, seeing bone spurs, narrowing of discs, and rough end plates makes it clear that this is not a new problem. A chronic problem can take longer to recover from than a new one.\nWe also take measurements and \u201clistings\u201d to figure out how we will adjust you. A listing is an indicator as to where in your spine you\u2019re misaligned and specifically which direction so we know which direction and which bones will be adjusted. We also use manual palpation (feeling your spine with our hands), but x-rays are very helpful in helping us determine the primary misalignment and even globally how everything fits together.\nNot all patients require x-rays. That\u2019s a decision that will be made by your chiropractor after your initial consultation and examination. Just as it\u2019s not really in your best interest to say \u201cI don\u2019t want x-rays\u201d before the doctor has had a chance to check you out, we can\u2019t promise we won\u2019t need x-rays with you over the phone. We will always do what\u2019s safest for you and explain everything up front.\nIf after everything is explained, we hope it\u2019s clear why x-rays were or were not needed for your particular case.",

        "title": "Brexit: division and unity on the Left - Counterfire",
        "raw_content": "Brexit: division and unity on the Left\nThe Union Flag and EU Flag. Graphic: 123rf\nBrexit gives us a unique opportunity. Let's take it\nOne of the defining aspects of Labour\u2019s General Election campaign was its pushing of the debate away from Brexit and towards a concerted and successful attack on the Tories\u2019 austerity policies. Brexit was a distant runner up for voters behind the NHS, education, re-nationalisation of industries, housing and the economy. This was despite much of the media going along with the Tories\u2019 desire to make the election a vote on Brexit. Even on election night, commentators on the major television channels attempted to strap Brexit on to each and every result, even when the data did not support it. With the exception of a few Leave areas, the Labour vote increased in seats it won in both Leave and Remain constituencies.\nThis unity was always unlikely to last, unfortunately.\nSure enough, once parliament reconvened, Chuka Umunna led a group of 49 Labour MPs in an amendment to the Queen\u2019s Speech that called for the UK to stay in the Single Market. This was designed to cause splits within the Labour Party and to set out a position for the Labour right, in the hope that Tory Remainers would get on board. They did not, mainly because they realised the futility of such a position and that to do so would allow the media to represent their party as split, just when it was at its weakest.\nSince then, a cross party group has been formed to oppose a \u2018hard Brexit\u2019. It is led by Umunna and Tory Anna Soubry. The principal aim of this group is to restore the centre and, from the perspective of the Labour members, disavow the fact that 13 million people just voted for socialism in the form of the Labour manifesto. It is also worth reminding ourselves that Umunna was quite happy to leave the Single Market last year, if doing so would allow the ending of freedom of movement. He even wrote an article saying so. There is nothing progressive about his position.\nAs we know, the broad left was divided over Brexit last summer. The majority of Labour voters backed a Remain position, often with a view to reforming the EU. The radical left, on the other hand, mostly backed Leave, with a smaller number backing Remain or abstaining. There is no need to repeat the arguments of last year. Instead, let\u2019s look at the material situation in which we find ourselves.\nInterventions from figures wanting to stay in the Single Market or even stay in the EU are coming thick and fast. Last week in The Guardian alone, we had articles by John Palmer and William Keegan, plus an interview with Tony Blair, who has written an article for his eponymous institute. The Guardian interview was entitled \u2018Brexit followed by Corbyn in no 10 would put UK flat on its back\u2019, which in admitting that a large part of the antipathy to Brexit concerns preventing a Corbyn government at least has the benefit of honesty.\nToday, talks are to resume between Michel Barnier, the EU\u2019s chief negotiator, and David Davies, the Brexit secretary and perhaps Tory leader in waiting. The Tories are divided on the best way out of the EU, as discussed in today\u2019s Independent. Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, has suggested that negative stories about his position on public sector pay have been leaked by colleagues opposed to his preference for a \u2018soft\u2019 Brexit. The Tories are split over this issue and Labour has the opportunity to use this division as part of its overall strategy of forcing another general election. Keir Starmer, Labour\u2019s Shadow Brexit Secretary, has made it clear that if conditions are not met regarding workers\u2019 rights and parliamentary scrutiny, then Labour may vote it down. There is already much talk that this vote will amount to a vote of confidence in Theresa May\u2019s government.\nMoreover, this month sees a far right group called Defend Europe launch a ship with the aim of preventing African refugees crossing the Mediterranean into Europe. Despite being anti-EU, they wish to defend one of the hardest borders in the world. Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron, the poster boy of the liberal centre, has suggested that Africa has \u2018civilisational problems\u2019. Such is the murkiness and ambiguity of political positions on this subject.\nIn this context, there will be division. But where is the line?\nCurrently, the Labour right is attempting to force the line of division so it is key that the left does not just react to that, but also forges its own position, in order to use the unity achieved by the election to make a strong case for why a people\u2019s Brexit is needed. In doing so, the following points will need to be made.\nThe Labour programme of renationalisation requires the UK to be free of EU directives that force competition.\nThe choice is not between a Tory Brexiter free trade post-EU, and membership of the Single Market. A Labour government can forge an independent, democratic and ethical trade policy. We are not stuck between two pro-business positions. As part of this, it needs to be made clear that the Single Market is an obstacle on the road to socialism. This will require a careful debunking of the various myths surrounding the EU as a progressive institution.\nAs discussed above, there were two positions taken by the left in the lead up to the referendum. There is now a sharper divide:\nWith Corbyn, the left, and a continued advancement in the battle against neoliberal austerity; in so doing, there must be a marshalling of the forces that have been fighting neoliberalism this century, and which we saw mobilise with such effect on the streets of Hamburg recently.\nOr make the debate about staying in the Single Market, or somehow stopping Brexit at all costs, and in so doing shore up the forces of Blairism and the extreme centre.\nThere is only one position for the left here. We don\u2019t have a dog in the race between Single Market membership and Tory free trade. For those on the left who thought that leaving the EU with a Tory government was the wrong decision, it\u2019s worth thinking about the fact that history does not always come in the order in which we would like it.\nWhat we do have is a unique historical opportunity to continue the rupture with the politics of the last 40 years that the election result represented. There are further battles to come. Let\u2019s not get distracted.\nTagged under: Capitalism Labour EU Jeremy Corbyn Trade EU referendum Brexit",

        "raw_content": "Maryland\u2019s New Chief Judge Visits Allegany, Garrett, Frederick, and Washington County Courts\n(HAGERSTOWN, Md. -- Oct. 30, 2013) Maryland Court of Appeals Chief Judge Mary Ellen Barbera met with Allegany, Garrett, Frederick, and Washington County Circuit Court and District Court judges and personnel yesterday and today as part of her statewide tour of courts and facilities.\n\u201cI\u2019m thankful to my fellow judges who carved time from their very busy dockets for this visit,\u201d Chief Judge Barbera said. \u201cI appreciate the opportunity to meet face-to-face and learn first-hand about what our courts need to provide fair, timely, and easy access to justice here and all over Maryland,\u201d Chief Judge Barbera said.\nThe chief judge noted that aging, cramped facilities and outdated technologies and some of the historic buildings are issues for those courts.\nAllegany County Circuit Judge Gary G. Leasure agreed. \u201cWe are proud of the long local history of our courts and of our historic courthouses,\u201d said Judge Leasure, who is the administrative judge for the Fourth Judicial Circuit (Allegany, Garrett, and Washington counties) and for Allegany County. \u201cBut old structures present challenges, not the least of which is simply having enough space to operate. We also face the issues of providing easy access for our visitors, ensuring public safety for everyone in our facilities, and meeting the needs of 21st century citizens with facilities that stretch back almost 200 hundred years and technology that becomes outdated on a frequent basis.\u201d\nGarrett County Circuit Judge James L. Sherbin added, \u201cIt was an honor to welcome our new chief judge to Oakland. We\u2019ve had a very productive meeting.\u201d Judge Sherbin, who is Garrett County\u2019s administrative judge, added, \u201cIt\u2019s important to have open and ongoing discussions about issues that we have in our individual courts as well as a chance to share thoughts about challenges we face statewide. I think this has been a wonderful beginning to an ongoing conversation.\u201d\nWashington County Circuit Judge M. Kenneth Long Jr., said, \u201cThis was not only a chance for us to meet with the chief judge, but it was a wonderful opportunity to introduce her to the dedicated people who work \u2018behind-the-scenes\u2019 in our courts.\u201d Judge Long is administrative judge for Washington County.\n\u201cIt was wonderful to talk again with familiar colleagues, but it\u2019s also been a privilege to meet so many fine professionals at every level,\u201d Chief Judge Barbera said. \u201cI\u2019ve been especially impressed with the hard-working people whose diligent efforts enable our judges to do their work and our courts to operate.\u201d\n\u201cIt was a pleasure having Chief Judge Barbera tour our facilities and meet our personnel. I think that there is a symbolic importance in the chief judge visiting us where we live and work,\u201d said Judge G. Edward Dwyer Jr., county administrative judge for the Frederick County Circuit Court. \u201cWe recognize that we are not a single unit, but are part of a statewide network stretching across all communities to serve all Marylanders. As such, we are fortunate to have a good working relationship with our county government as well as the Judiciary as we plan on the expansion and reorganization of our current facility to accommodate our growing needs.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Last December, 27 neglected horses were seized from a property in Langley.\n27 horses were seized from a property in Langley last month. Courtesy BC SPCA.\nTwenty-seven horses have been seized from a Murrayville property and charges are expected, according to the BC SPCA.\nThe horses were in various stages of distress when they were seized on Dec. 15, 2018, BC SPCA Const. Eileen Drever announced Monday.\nThe horses were seized off a property in the 4300-block of 224th Street, where they were living in unsanitary and muddy pastures with hazardous objects, had lack of nutrition, lice infestation, overgrown hooves, rainscald from inadequate shelter, and lack of access to water, according to Drever.\n\u201cWe received a complaint about the condition of the horses, and we responded,\u201d she said, explaining that happened back in early December.\n\u201cThe investigation is just about complete now, so we will be recommending charges to Crown counsel, and it\u2019s up to Crown counsel if they will proceed with the charges,\u201d Drever explained.\nIt could included charges under the Criminal Code of Canada, which carry penalties of up to five years imprisonment and as much as $10,000 fine. Or it could be charges under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act that carry a maximum lifetime prohibition of possessing animals, two years in jail, and a $75,000 fine, Drever said.\nREAD MORE: Many neglected horses seized from Langley property after cruelty investigation\n\u201cThe goal when we come across an animal in distress is to give the owner or caregiver an opportunity to relieve that distress. The owner failed in this case. As a result we were successful in the application of a search warrant.\u201d\nDrever explained that the SPCA waited six weeks before making the situation public because they were waiting to see if the seizure would be disputed.\n\u201cThe owner or caregiver can dispute the seizure, and that\u2019s to a third party, and so much time has to pass for that. This individual did not dispute the seizure and that\u2019s why we just made the announcement,\u201d she said.\nDrever understands it\u2019s hard in the Lower Mainland to have dry paddocks and pastures for animals, but said \u201cyou have to take that into account and provide a dry area for your horses.\u201d\n\u201cThey had very little food, and most horses did not have access to water.\u201d\nRight now, the seized animals are being housed at the Surrey SPCA barn.\nAccording to Drever, some of the horses have already been adopted.\n\u201cSome horses have actually come around and are doing really well. Some of the horses will be with us a bit longer because we have to ensure they are completely healthy.\u201d\nThe identity of the horse owner has yet to be revealed.\nSharon Wells-Ackermans, president of the Horse Protection Society of BC, confirmed with Black Press that none of the horses belong to her Langley-based rescue organization, despite its past affiliation with the property in question.\nShe did acknowledge that her group rented the same property for approximately 10 years, and called it a \u201cdifficult property to upkeep.\u201d But she noted her team downsized and relocated to its current home, at 24463 16th Ave., back in 2017.\nAlthough the Horse Protection Society of BC won\u2019t be taking any of the seized horses \u2013 since they are at maximum capacity \u2013 Wells-Ackermans said she\u2019s \u201ccrossing her fingers,\u201d they\u2019ll find homes.\n\u201cThe people in the horse community, I\u2019m hoping, will step forward.\u201d\nTo date, the BC SPCA has spent more than $30,000 caring for these horses, including providing necessary medical treatment.\nFor adoption information, people can call the SPCA at 604-574-1171.",

        "raw_content": "\u2018We Need to Make This a Better World for All of Us\u2019\nIt\u2019s kind of ironic that Christopher Whitt, PhD, Creighton\u2019s first vice provost for Institutional Diversity and Inclusion, works at a Jesuit university. Growing up in Baltimore, he attended Mount St. Joseph High School, which is affiliated with the Xaverian Brothers. When it came to athletics, the nearby Jesuit school was their biggest rival.\nHis first experience with Jesuit education was at Marquette University in Milwaukee, where he completed a one-year diversity dissertation fellowship. \u201cI really saw that you have a lot of potential at a centrally located Jesuit institution in an urban area,\u201d Whitt says.\nAfter earning a bachelor\u2019s degree from Salisbury University in Maryland, Whitt received his master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in political science from the University of Maryland, College Park. \u201cFrom a young age, I was interested in politics. I was looking for a way to become educated and skilled in seeking justice, seeking avenues of equity for people,\u201d Whitt says.\nEleven years ago, he joined the faculty at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. In his first year as a professor, he co-founded an Africana studies program, which looked at the entire African diaspora rather than being limited to a particular place. He also extended his influence into the larger Quad Cities community, with his podcast \u201cMargins: Conversations with Change Agents.\u201d Hosted on the local NPR station, \u201cMargins\u201d brought community and national leaders together to discuss issues. Whitt is in talks with Omaha NPR station KIOS to develop a similar podcast.\nWhitt joined Creighton in February and now lives in Omaha with his wife, Quiana, a teacher at Omaha North High School, and their 1-year-old son, Christopher Jr. Creighton magazine caught up with Whitt this summer.\nWhat do we mean by diversity and inclusion?\nI like to look at it through the lens of justice and solidarity. When we talk about diversity, we\u2019re not simply talking about the idea that if we walk on campus, there are a few people from a few different backgrounds. And, well, they\u2019re here, so they\u2019re included. No, it\u2019s so much deeper than that. We need to make this a better world for all of us. We need to do it together and really respect the fact that not everybody has the same experience in the world.\nWhat are some of your initiatives?\nMy first few months here have been a listening tour \u2026 to get perspectives on what people feel is working when it comes to diversity and inclusion, what is missing and where there needs to be change. I\u2019ve found a lot of amazing work being done at Creighton University. But we need to organize it to bring people in line with a unified vision.\nWhat\u2019s the current state of diversity and inclusion at Creighton?\nI think there\u2019s a lot of good will, a lot of good intention. A lot of people are willing to collaborate. And that\u2019s the only way we are going to continue to make progress. Diversity and inclusion is a collaborative effort. I look at myself as more of a coordinator, a coach, where I\u2019m setting a standard and direction. I\u2019ve had a very warm welcome and that really encourages me that we\u2019ll be successful in taking the good things we have going now and strengthening them.\nWhat have you learned over the years working in this area?\nI think decades ago, people were more satisfied with simply having the numbers, even if people felt like they were visitors. I\u2019ve heard it so many times from students of underrepresented groups. They get to graduation and say, \u201cI made it. I\u2019m getting out. I\u2019m moving on.\u201d That\u2019s not how people should feel. We want people to feel like this has been an amazing experience, and ask, \u201cHow can I continue to be connected in some shape or form?\u201d\nHow can alumni help?\nAlumni can help by inquiring about and being supportive of diversity and inclusion. They can help connect people from underrepresented groups with Creighton \u2014 in terms of both our student body and our workforce. We need to look to eliminate barriers. We will be stronger by opening doors.",

        "title": "The Battle Of Crete Remembered",
        "raw_content": "The Battle Of Crete Remembered\nby Anastasios G. Christian\nOn May 20, 2008, we will commemorate the 67th anniversary of the Battle of Crete; a battle fought by brave souls that undoubtedly changed the course of history for the free world. It is a day to reflect and to be proud of our ancestors and the sacrifices they made so that future generations could live in peace and prosper from their freedom.\nHitler\u2019s strategic plan was interrupted by a small island in the Mediterranean. It was Germany\u2019s first and last airborne assault. As a result of the Battle of Crete and the heavy casualties the Nazi\u2019s sustained, Hitler\u2019s master plan to invade Russia before the coming of winter had to be postponed. The delay caused thousands of Nazi soldiers their lives as they were not prepared to survive the harsh Russian winter.\nI am sure that I speak on behalf of many who have ancestors that survived the horrid years of Nazi occupation in Crete and grew up listening to first-hand stories of survival. The stories are priceless and are part of our proud history that we must all preserve by passing them along to our children and our children\u2019s children.\nI recall sitting in a kafenio drinking tsikoudia in our village of Gonies a couple of summers ago listening to several old veterans describe the events of April and May 1941. Many of the Cretan men had been called to the mainland of Greece as part of the Greek Army to fight against the Italians in Albania. Following the Greek Army\u2019s surrender to Germany on April 24, 1941, Cretan men attempted to find their way back to Crete. They took their weapons, made their way back to the coast, and hitched a ride on a boat bound for Crete. Some made it back quicker than others. These veterans did not get back to Crete until after the May 20, 1941 Nazi invasion. When they arrived in Crete, they hiked on foot approximately 50 kilometers through the mountains back to Gonies. Once there, they reunited with their families and joined the local resistance group.\nI also remember walking with my Father through the mountains surrounding Gonies as he explained how he and two other young men were captured by Nazi soldiers that occupied the village. All three eventually escaped their captors. He took me to a former Nazi artillery position that was located in the mountains behind the village. I listened as he described how the Nazi soldiers towed their artillery guns behind trucks on the dirt road/trail that winded its way from Heraklion to Gonies. Cretan men and women that remained in the village were put to work building the artillery position. Remnants of the position are still visible today.\nMy Grandmother (Yia-Yia Vasiliki) use to tell us the story of how Nazi soldiers came knocking on her door one evening searching for my Grandfather (Papou Dimitri). My Grandfather, who had previously fled to the mountains to join the local resistance group (Goniani Andartes), had snuck down to visit his family under the cover of darkness and was in the house. When the door opened, my Grandfather squatted down behind a stack of fire wood to avoid being seen by the soldiers. One soldier looked around and when he didn\u2019t see anybody he fired a few rounds from his machinegun into the wood pile. He was satisfied no one was there and departed. Somehow my Grandfather avoided being shot and soon thereafter quickly departed for the mountains to rejoin the Goniani Andartes.\nFor centuries the Cretan people have been known to be fierce fighters and proud defenders of their land. Their bravery and courage is equal to that of the most deserving heroes throughout world history. But freedom and heroism is not achieved without a cost. In resisting the German invasion on Crete, our ancestors paid a heavy price. Thousands of Cretans were executed and killed during the three-and-a-half years of occupation. Despite their heavy losses, the Cretan soul was never conquered. Men, women and children fought and resisted with courage and bravery as they faced death every moment of every day.\nThe Cretans who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for freedom should inspire all of mankind and bring hope to all. We should honor their memory by never forgetting the Battle of Crete.\nChronicle of the Battle of Crete",

Make sure that you go through a list of services that the auto repair shop is offering to see if they provide the services that you are looking. For example, we have collision repair, auto body painting and many more are things that you should look for. One thing that you will have to do is to hire an auto repair shop that offers a wide range of services the odds of getting the services that you need.\nAlso, you should also check if the auto repair shop provides mobile services. You find that at some point you will like your car to be repaired where it is maybe because moving it to the shop can be tiresome and expensive. For that matter, you should make sure that you hire an auto repair shop that offers mobile services where they will fix your car in your home or any other place that your car developed technicalities. As a result, you will be in a position to save a lot of money as well as being free from the hassle of moving the car.\nApart from that, auto repair shop should also be licensed. One good thing with this is that it will help you in knowing that the auto repair shop that you are dealing with is certified to deliver repair services. Not only that but they also have a team of professional mechanics who will offer you the best auto repair services. But it is essential to make sure that the license is valid to be sure of their professionalism. Besides, dealing with professionals is also beneficial because they can handle a wide range of auto repair services.\nApart from that, you should also go small. In this case, you will have to go with a small auto repair shop over a large one. It is beneficial to deal with small auto repair shops because they are always focused on finishing your work, and your car is likely to be handled by the head mechanic. Unlike large auto shops whose primary focus is production and this makes them employ many mechanics who do not have enough qualifications. You find that this is not good as it will make your car to be serviced poorly. Another thing is that your car might take too long to handle being that they have many repairs to make.\nLast but not least, you should also look for recommendations. In this case, you will have to reach out for some of your friends that in the past hired the services of the auto repair shop. Being that they have been seen delivering their services you will be confident of receiving high-quality services.\nQuestions About Leaders You Must Know the Answers To",

        "raw_content": "Bank of England launches cyber security test framework\nCBEST testing framework will use government intelligence to identify vulnerabilities in financial sector\nMatthew Finnegan (Computerworld UK) on 11 June, 2014 04:08\nThe Bank of England has created a cyber intelligence network and testing framework to help identify where the banking sector is most vulnerable to cyber attacks.\nThe CBEST framework will bring together expertise from government and the private sector to help improve defences against an increasingly mature cyber threat.\nIt was developed alongside the Council for Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST), a not-for-profit organisation that represents the technical information security industry, Her Majesty's Treasury and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), as well as cyber intelligence firm, Digital Shadows.\nSpeaking at a British Bankers' Association event today, Andrew Gracie, executive director for resolution at the Bank of England, said: \"The idea of CBEST is to bring together the best available threat intelligence from government and elsewhere, tailored to the business model and operations of individual firms, to be delivered in live tests, within a controlled testing environment,\"\n\"The results should provide a direct readout on a firm's capability to withstand cyber-attacks that on the basis of current intelligence have the most potential, combining probability and impact, to have an adverse impact on financial stability.\"\nThe framework will help improve understanding of the fast-evolving cyber threat among banks at board level, with banks coming under increasing attack from cyber criminals, nation states and hacktivists. A recent survey by PwC, 70 percent of bank CEOs identify cyber security as a threat to their growth prospects, and the Bank of England has previously indicated that several major banks have had services disrupted due to attacks.\nAccording to the Bank of England CBEST will differ from other security testing, because it uses real threat intelligence and \"focuses on more sophisticated and persistent threats on critical systems and essential services\".\n\"Although existing penetration testing services in the financial services sector have provided a good level of assurance against traditional attacks, they do not address more sophisticated cyber attacks on critical assets,\" said Ian Glover, president of CREST. \"CBEST tests have been designed to replicate the behaviours of serious threat actors, assessed by Government and commercial intelligence providers as posing a genuine threat to important financial institutions.\"\nThe announcement forms part of the Bank of England's response to the Financial Policy Committee's recommendation to test and improve resilience to cyber-attacks, made last year.\nIn recent months there have been increasing calls for better collaboration between banks, central government, regulators and the private sector to improve cyber defences. The findings of a Bank of England-led cyber security exercise, named Operation Waking Shark, revealed a lack of formal communication channels between banks and the wider sector when cyber attacks occur.\nTags TreasuryBank of England\nMore about Andrew Corporation (Australia)PricewaterhouseCoopers\nStories by Matthew Finnegan\nUS government hack puts sensitive data at risk of secondary phishing attacks\nWells Fargo CISO: Security should be viewed as business enabler, not innovation bottleneck\nSenior bank staff fail to take cyber risk seriously, claims Bank of England\nRBS to advise City of London Police on cyber crime threat",

        "raw_content": "Stefanowski Clinches Second Ballot Line\nby Christine Stuart | Aug 26, 2018 6:08pm () Comments | Commenting has expired | Share\nPosted to: Election 2018, Waterbury\nWATERBURY, CT \u2014 Despite arguments from four candidates, the Independent Party decided to cross-endorse a Republican candidate, instead of nominating one of its own for the ballot.\nRepublican Bob Stefanowski, who didn\u2019t participate in the Republican Party\u2019s convention, easily won the Independent Party\u2019s convention Sunday with 43 out of 64 votes cast.\nStefanowski was working the Franco American Social Club chatting to delegates, which was slightly ironic since he skipped his own party\u2019s convention and petitioned his way onto the ballot instead.\nIn 2010, Republican Tom Foley lost to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy by 6,404 votes. The Independent Party ballot line could bring the necessary votes for an open governor\u2019s seat.\n\u201cThis party has 25,000 votes. You could potentially turn this election,\u201d Stefanowski told the delegates.\nHe said \u201c99 percent of the people in this room will tell you there are two people who can be the next governor of Connecticut: Ned Lamont or me.\u201d\nLamont is the Democratic Party candidate, who was cross-endorsed by the Working Families Party.\n\u201cI\u2019m gonna tell you, you\u2019re going to feel horrible if you wake up on Nov. 7th and it\u2019s Ned Lamont,\u201d Stefanowski said.\nHe said he might be the Republican endorsed candidate, but he didn\u2019t take the traditional route to the nomination.\nOz Griebel, who is petitioning his way onto the ballot as an independent candidate, argued that if the Independent Party with a big \u201cI\u201d wants to move forward then it needs to nominate its own candidate, instead of endorsing one from a major party.\nIf that was the case then the headline on Nov. 7 would be \u201cGriebel, Frank and the Independent Party Wins.\u201d\nGriebel said he and Monte Frank would be back after Nov. 7 to work with the minor party and it\u2019s members, \u201cnot throw you a few crumbs.\u201d\n\u201cWe will work with you to go back to the most important voter bloc in this state,\u201d Griebel said.\n\u201cTo the unaffiliated bloc. The group of voters looking for a viable third option.\u201d\nGriebel and Frank only received 14 of the 64 votes cast in the contest.\nThere are about 2.1 million registered voters in the state and about 859,470 are unaffiliated voters, which is more than either the Democratic or Republican Parties.\nRod Hanscomb, who is also petitioning his way onto the ballot under the Libertarian Party nomination, said the Independent Party and the Libertarian Party can team up to secure the fourth and fifth ballot lines and make the Independent Party and Libertarian Party the third and fourth largest party in the state.\n\u201cThere\u2019s power in running together as a small party,\u201d Hanscomb said.\nThere are more than 25,000 Independent Party members in Connecticut. Only 64 showed up to vote Sunday at the\nShelton Mayor Mark Lauretti and Mark Stewart also competed for the Independent Party nomination.\nThe Waterbury faction of the Independent Party, which won the ballot line through a court order, will be the only faction of the party allowed to nominate candidates.\nThe Waterbury faction had been critical of the Danbury faction for cross-endorsing mostly Republican Party candidates and the two sides have been warring in court for years over the right to the statewide ballot line.\nOn Sunday the Waterbury faction ended up cross-endorsing all the Republican Party candidates for statewide office and the 5th Congressional District.\nSusan Hatfield won the attorney general endorsement, Susan Chapman won the secretary of the state endorsement, Thad Gray won the state treasurer endorsement, and Kurt Miller won the endorsement for state comptroller.\nManny Santos won the endorsement for the 5th Congressional District where he will compete against Jahana Hayes, who will also appear on the Working Families Party line.\nMike Telesca, chairman of the Independent Party, said he would have liked the party to endorse a truly independent candidate, but he\u2019s also grateful they will maintain the ballot line, especially in the governor\u2019s race.\nTelesca had previously been critical of the Danbury faction for endorsing only Republicans.\n\u201cThe process works,\u201d Telesca said. \u201cI would have preferred to have more of our own candidates, but we have good candidates. Bob\u2019s good.\u201d\nHe said without its own candidates it risks losing the 1 percent of the vote necessary to maintain the ballot line.\nTags: Bob Stefanowski, Waterbury, Oz Griebel, Independent Party, Mike Telesca, Mark Lauretti, Mike Telesca, Manny Santos, mcp3",

        "raw_content": "Great Wolf Lodge \u2013 Day 1\nSO. I took a mini bloggy break, because we decided to go on a little adventure in January during the polar vortex. Ok, well\u2026 it didn\u2019t snow until we got back THANK GOODNESS. But, I wasn\u2019t happy about the hour and a half commute to work on Tuesday after having such a blast on our trip. The kids did benefit from a snow day after our trip, which\u2026 lucky them. Anyhow, we went on a little trip to The Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, to celebrate something\u2026 something that\u2026 I can\u2019t really talk about yet. Ugh. So, anyhow. It was A.W.E.S.O.M.E. and we are definitely going to make this a yearly tradition! This photo was taken at Quik Trip (QT) before we left from St. Louis to Kansas City and can you tell we are all just SO EXCITED?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brian had to tap off the gas tank and I needed a French Vanilla cappuccino, my favorite drink of choice from QT. It also contains about 260 calories, so it is a drink I only treat myself to on VERY special occasions, such as THIS! And, I know. I really need to switch Nathan into a booster seat, I will soon\u2026 I am one of those over protective Moms, but I think it is time to finally make the switch.\nGreat Wolf Lodge has 12 locations and we visited the Kansas City location, because it is the closest to St. Louis. It was a four hour drive, which wasn\u2019t too bad since we stayed two nights.\nThe lobby is very warm and inviting when you walk in\u2026 I think a lobby says a lot about the hotel overall and so if the lobby isn\u2019t nice, I know I will be disappointed. There was a lovely fire place, a clock tower to where they do a story time in the evening for the kids, open glass elevators, a view of the water park, etc., etc.\nThe only part of the lobby that was a BIT creepy was\u2026 the stuffed wolves. Eek.\nWe did a lot of photos by the clock tower. The kids were SO excited\u2026 I was too!\nBrian with the kids by the clock tower. We really should have had someone take a family photo of us!\nNathan wanted his photo taken with this wooden bear.\nAfter we checked in, we had a few hours before our room would be ready. They let you enjoy the pool starting at 1 p.m. on check in day, but your room is typically not ready until 4 p.m. So, no problem! We enjoyed the pool and used their locker rooms. Here is a photo of the indoor pool and this is the ONLY photo I have of it\u2026 just because I didn\u2019t want to get my camera wet! It is pretty amazing!\nWe decided to go a step up from the standard room and got the Kids Camp room, which included a tent for the kids with a bunk bed and their own personal tv! It was SO worth the extra cost, which really was pretty minimal. The rest of the room was a nice size too and I always love it when the bathroom sink and mirror is OUTSIDE the bathroom\u2026 The only flaw to the room was that we all agreed the beds weren\u2019t very comfortable. It seemed they really went with a \u2018lodge/camp\u2019 feel as the bunk bed didn\u2019t even have \u2018fitted\u2019 sheets\u2026 it was just a sheet on top of a sort of weird mattress under it\u2026 I\u2019m just not even sure how to explain it. BUT, I didn\u2019t wake up with a stiff nick or backache, so they weren\u2019t THAT bad. I\u2019m just being super nick picky.\nAfter we swam and checked into our rooms, it was close to dinner time so we headed across the street and ate at T-Rex. TRex only has two locations and the other one is at Downtown Disney. The kids and I have eaten here before, but they were too little to remember it. It is a really neat restaurant, we sat in the ice age section and this is a view of the restaurant from below.\nWhen I was looking at the menu, I noticed they had cotton candy martiins on the menu! I was so excited when they brought it out and the waitress let me take a photo of how she turned a cup full of cotton candy into a martini! Has anyone had one of these? Delish! She also let me keep the shaker and the shaker had enough for 3 martinis in it! Woah! I shared this photo along with several other photos of our trip on Instagram. If you aren\u2019t already following me on Instragram, click HERE to start!\nWhat is nice about T-Rex is that they have several activities for your kids to do while you wait for a table. The place is always crowded and we had a 45 minute wait, so we let the kids Build a Dino. They really enjoyed it!\nNathan selected a Pterodactyl, which was my favorite one!\nAutumn selected a triceratops and had to make sure it was extra clean in its bath.\nStay tuned for Day 2 of our trip!",

His outstanding season helped him collect plenty of individual accolades, which now includes another award: The Falcons 2017-18 Male Athlete of the Year.\nBarker becomes the second freshman in the last three years to win the Male Athlete of the Year, joining Gavin Falotico (2015-16). Falotico also captured the award last season as a sophomore.\nBarker (Red Deer, Alberta) became the first All-American in Men\u2019s Hockey program history after helping lead CUW to a program-record 16 wins. The Falcons also hosted an NCHA Playoff series for the first time in program history after finishing 12-6 in the always-competitive NCHA.\nThe blueliner set the CUW school record with 18 assists and added six goals, finishing the year with 24 points. He had a +/- rating of plus 18. Barker scored a point in 16 of 25 games and posted multiple points in seven contests.\nFollowing the season, the individual awards started rolling in for Barker as he was named the NCHA Freshman of the Year while also landing on the NCHA All-Conference Team. Barker, who was also named to the NCHA All-Freshman Team, was the second player in program history to earn All-NCHA honors, joining Sam Aide (2008-09).\nBarker\u2019s next individual honor came in March when he made program history with a Second Team AHCA/CCM All-American selection. He was one of nine players from the NCHA to receive the honors from the West Region.\nThe accolades, the numbers, and the ability to help lead the Men\u2019s Hockey program to an outstanding season helped Braydon Barker land the 2017-18 Male Athlete of the Year award.\n2017-18 CUW Athletics Awards\nFemale Athlete of the Year: Kaily Erdman\nMale Athlete of the Year: Braydon Barker\nFemale Career Achievement: June 27\nMale Career Achievement: June 28",

        "raw_content": "Hello my loves, how are you? It's been a while everything's colder than I thought. Recently to be honest I'm in a middle of no motivation to write a blog and make a video to upload on my youtube channel. Since I can see that I'm in a middle of crises I need to find a way to keep burning, but it's not happening at all. I resorted to making myself distracted of things that I like, like watching Korean Dramas and just enjoying every time that I have with my family. No deadlines to meet and just go with the flow. I believe it's better to rest than to quit, that's one of my principles. But the question is until when will this rest will end. I will be in great trouble if I'm always in my comfort zone, not challenging myself will lead to laziness in content creating. In this state, I tried to tell myself to be motivated in everything that I see. This maybe not relatable for you, but as a person who's fun of arts, this situation is happening to every artist. Sometimes we are not motivated and really needs time to get back on track. I know that this is just temporary, but inspiration is on its way, I mean blessings are on its way. This black day will pass and there always be brightness in everything. Currently, I'm digging myself to find a motivation for everything I do.\nI've been watching a lot of Korean series, which I love during my younger age, hahaha!!!. I will be sharing to you my review of the list of my must watch Korean Dramas for the month of July, so keep in touch. I wanted to make a review each of the series, but I think it will be a spoiler to those who haven't watch, so I'll just make up a list and what I think about the drama.\nGoing back to my early topic, I encouraged those people who are in the same shoes to keep on pushing, find an inspiration and keep moving forward. As what I've said, it's better to rest but do not quit.\nI have written How to Overcome Your Depression, kindly read it here. I believe it will be useful to you.\nI'm currently finishing a makeup tutorial for you, it's more focused on manga series. I hope you will look forward to it. I'm in a situation of making myself a better person on my field, so I hope you will still be with me. I'm also currently attending different types of workshop especially on makeup artistry, keep in touch.\nPlease don't forget to visit my Youtube channel and subscribe. Okay? Till our next chat.\nThese are the list of my videos:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZZMNK8mN5AWuQbElOmsdDjajZKkhp2zx\nhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZZMNK8mN5AX2lp2eaFQY8EQFCLCEJ8K8\nhttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZZMNK8mN5AUhZMFdYRbhHD6SexvA7yyr\nI have also a Facebook Makeup Page check it here: www.facebook.com/cykaniki",

        "title": "David Richard Gallery - Responding to \u201cThe Responsive Eye\u201d: A Santa Fe Gallery Showcases Op Art\u2019s Thriving Legacy<BR>",
        "raw_content": "It\u2019s hard to imagine now\u2014with op art\u2019s place so firmly established in the canon of 20th-century avant-garde movements\u2014that when the first major museum survey of the style opened, an editor from the New York Times wrote a letter denouncing the paper\u2019s own glowing review of the movement. But that\u2019s just what happened when the exhibition \u201cThe Responsive Eye\u201d opened at MoMA in 1965.\nNow, 50 years later, that era-defining exhibition is the starting point for a series of shows at Santa Fe\u2019s David Richard Gallery, the first of which, \u201cPost-Op: \u2018The Responsive Eye\u2019 Fifty Years After\u201d brings together more than 34 objects by 17 artists dealing with issues at the heart of op.\nThe original exhibition was so groundbreaking that it drew more than 180,000 onlookers to take in this curious new style, where images seemed to jump and move depending on how the viewer looked at them. The effect was so jarring that museum guards were given permission to wear sunglasses. New York Times critic John Canaday heralded the exhibition, which was organized by William C. Seitz and featured geometric abstractions from artists ranging from British artist Bridget Riley to former Josef Albers student Richard Anuszkiewicz, as \u201cone of the most exciting artistic events in a decade.\u201d\nIn response, Times staffer Lester Markel wrote his rebuttal in the paper and later spoke to television reporter Mike Wallace, criticizing the form: \u201cIt is fascinating as a technique, but it is not art at all.\u201d While the show was divisive, one thing was certain: with its crisp, clean lines and high-tech appeal op was the perfect visual expression for the space age\u2014and the style was quickly adopted by the worlds of fashion and advertising.\nThe new show at David Richard Gallery looks beyond the basic definition of op art to investigate the ways artists have explored visual perception over the past half century. The artists included in the gallery show were participants in the original \u201cResponsive Eye\u201d exhibition, including Hannes Beckmann, Tadasky and Anuszkiewicz, and the exhibition looks at works made right up to the present day that showcase these pioneers\u2019 continuing interest in the relationship between art and optics. Throughout the year the gallery will expand the scope of its investigations into op, looking at other artists who embody the spirit of the movement today.\nPeter Anthony Stroud",

        "raw_content": "Policies, Structures, Committees\ndcu statutes - statute no. 3 of 2001\nSUSPENSION AND DISMISSAL OF EMPLOYEES\nThis Statute is made by the Governing Authority of Dublin City University pursuant to the powers conferred on it by Section 33 of the Universities Act 1997.\n1.1\tThis Statute shall apply to all employees and officers of the University.\n1.2\tThe procedures set out in this Statute shall not apply to dismissals by reason of redundancy which may be effected by decision of the President of the University following consultation through normal industrial relations structures operating in the University with recognised staff associations or trade unions, as appropriate.\n1.3\tIsolated faults or omissions of a minor nature may be dealt with informally where the University considers that it is unnecessary to invoke the following formal procedure.\n2.1\tIn this Statute the following expressions shall (unless the context otherwise clearly requires) have the respective meanings set out opposite each of them as follows:-\n\"the Act\"\tmeans the Universities Act, 1997;\n\"the Chancellor\"\tmeans the Chairman for the time being of the Governing Authority;\n\"the Director of Personnel\"\tmeans the Director of Personnel of the University for the time being or any person employed in the University's personnel department to whom all or any of the duties and functions of the Director of Personnel are delegated or assigned by the President from time to time;\n\"the disciplinary procedure\"\tmeans the procedure for the suspension and dismissal of employees and officers of the University, as set out in this statute;\n\"employee\"means any employee or officer of the University;\n\"the Governing Authority\"\tmeans the Governing Authority for the time being of the University;\n\"the President\"means the chief officer for the time being of the University or any employee of the University to whom any of the functions of the chief officer of the University have been delegated in accordance with the provisions of the Act;\n\"the University\"\tmeans Dublin City University.\n2.2\tA reference in this Statute to the Act shall be interpreted as a reference to the Universities Act 1997 as amended or re-enacted from time to time.\n2.3\tParagraph headings in this Statute are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Statute.\n2.4\tIn this Statute the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter and the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa.\n3.\tDelegation of Powers\n3.1\tThe Powers of the University relating to suspension and/or dismissal of employees or officers of the University are hereby delegated to the President of the University in his capacity as chief officer of the University.\n3.2 The President may delegate any of the powers of suspension, which are delegated to him pursuant to paragraph 3.1 above, to the Director of Personnel or any other employee of the University.\n4.\tDisciplinary Procedure\n4.1\tThe purpose of the disciplinary procedure set out in this Statute is to ensure that the University behaves reasonably and fairly towards all its employees in investigating and dealing with alleged instances of unacceptable conduct or performance. The University reserves the right to depart from the precise requirements of the disciplinary procedure specified below where it is expedient to do so and where the resulting treatment of the employee is not unreasonable or unfair.\n4.2\tAll disciplinary action taken under these procedures will be recorded and placed in the University's records. Warning will be placed in the personnel files of the employee to whom they apply but will be removed after such period as shall be determined by the University if the employees service during the intervening period is satisfactory.\n4.3\tPenalties which may be imposed under the disciplinary procedure include:\nsuspension (with or without pay)\ndemotion/reduction in pay\ncompulsory transfer or reassignment\n4.4\tThe University's disciplinary procedure falls into 4 categories namely:\nunsatisfactory sick absence\n4.5\tThe following steps will be taken, as appropriate, in all cases of disciplinary action:\nInvestigations: No disciplinary action will be taken before a proper investigation has been undertaken by the University relating to the circumstances of the matter complained of. If appropriate, the University may suspend an employee with pay for a specified period during which an investigation will be undertaken. During the period of suspension the employee will not be entitled to access to any of the University's premises except at the prior request or with the prior consent of the Director of Personnel and subject to such conditions as the Director of Personnel may impose. A decision to suspend an employee will be taken by the President or the Director of Personnel (if the power to do so has been delegated to such person by the President) and will be confirmed in writing.\nDecision Making: The University may elect to offer the employee the opportunity to make written representations or to convene a disciplinary hearing. The employee will be given details of the complaint against him before he will be expected to make any written representations or attend any such disciplinary hearing. At any disciplinary hearing the employee will be given an opportunity to state his case. The employee may be accompanied by a fellow employee of his choice or by his local Union representative and/or Branch Secretary. Warnings and other disciplinary sanctions may be issued or imposed by the Director of Personnel. A decision to dismiss an employee shall be taken only by the President.\nAppeals: An employee against whom disciplinary action has been taken has the right of appeal. He should inform the Director of Personnel in writing of his wish to appeal within five working days of the date of the decision which forms the subject of the appeal. The decision will become final and binding if the employee fails to notify his intention to appeal within the time permitted.\nThe appeal will be conducted as soon as possible thereafter and the employee will be given an opportunity to state his case and will be entitled to be assisted by a fellow employee of his choice or by his local Union representative and/or Branch Secretary.\nAn appeal will be heard by such officer of the University as shall be nominated from time to time by the Governing Authority for that purpose.\nThe decision on appeal will be notified to the employee in writing and will be final and binding.\nThe following procedure will apply in cases of alleged Misconduct:\nWarning: This may be verbal or written or a final written warning (as the Director of Personnel may deem appropriate in the circumstances) and will be given by the employee's immediate supervisor in conjunction with the Director of Personnel and confirmed to the employee in writing. This warning will state that, if the employee commits a further offence of misconduct during the period specified in it, further disciplinary action may be taken against the employee up to and including dismissal.\nDismissal: A decision to dismiss an employee will not be taken by the President without reference to the Director of Personnel and will be notified to the employee in writing.\nOther Sanctions: Other sanctions may be imposed in addition to or in substitution for warnings or dismissal.\nGross Misconduct may result in immediate dismissal without notice or pay in lieu of notice. A decision to dismiss an employee will not be taken by the President without reference to the Director of Personnel. Dismissal will be notified to the employee in writing. Other sanctions may be imposed in substitution for dismissal if the University considers that a dismissal is not warranted having regard to the particular circumstances.\n4.6 The following are examples of Incapability:\n-\tIncompetence\n-\tUnsuitability\n-\tLack of application\n-\tUnsatisfactory sick absence\nThese examples are not exhaustive or exclusive and instances of a similar nature will be dealt with under this procedure.\nThe following procedure will apply in cases of Incapability:\nWarning: This may be verbal or written or a final written warning (as the Director of Personnel may deem appropriate) and will be given by the employee's immediate supervisor. Any such warning will be confirmed to the employee in writing. This warning will specify the improvement required and will state that the employee's performance will be reviewed at the end of a specified period after the date of the warning. If the warning is a final written warning this will be stated and such warning will state that unless there is a substantial and sustained improvement in performance the employee will be dismissed.\nDismissal: The decision to dismiss an employee will not be taken by the President without reference to the Director of Personnel. Dismissal will be notified to the employee in writing.\n4.7The following are examples of Unsatisfactory Sick Absence:\n- long-term absence due to injury or sickness:\n-\tfrequent short-term absence due to minor ailments\nIn the case of unsatisfactory sick absence the University may require the employee to be:\n(a)examined by an independent medical practitioner of its choosing; in this event, the employee will be required to co-operate with such a request and to permit the medical practitioner to discuss with the Director of Personnel the findings of his examination and his prognosis and prospects for future recovery; and/or\n(b)interviewed by the Personnel Department (at the employee's home, if necessary) if there is a possibility, in the University's opinion, that his absence is wholly or partly due to a personal or domestic difficulty or there are other circumstances with which the University might be able to assist the employee.\nThe findings of the medical practitioner and/or the Personnel Department will be taken into account when the President and/or Director of Personnel considers the kind of action, if any, which the University will take against the employee in respect of his absence from work. Failure to co-operate will be regarded as Gross Misconduct and dealt with under the Disciplinary Procedure.\nThe President or Director of Personnel (as appropriate) may then decide on one or other of the following:\n(a)\tthe issuance of a final warning which will be confirmed to the employee in writing and will specify a further period over which the employee's attendance will be monitored and the level of improvement expected of the employee during such period; this warning will state that failure to show the necessary and a sustained improvement within the specified period will result in the employee's dismissal; or\n(b)\tdismissal on notice if the University concludes, following the employee's medical examination, that he is unlikely to be fit to return to work in the foreseeable future and that, in all the circumstances, the needs of the University render it impracticable to await further the employee's return to health or fitness.\nA decision to dismiss an employee will not be taken by the President without reference to the Director of Personnel and will be notified to the employee in writing.\n5.1\tThe tenure of officers of the University shall be such tenure as is conferred on each such officer in his or her individual contract with the University.\n5.2\tThis Statute may be cited as Statute No. 3 of 2001, Dublin City University.\n5.3This Statute shall come into operation on the 22nd day of February 2001.\nPresent when the common seal of the UNIVERSITY was affixed hereto:\nSigned:_________________________\nDr. T P Hardiman\nSigned:___________________________\nProf. Ferdinand von Prondzynski",

The American people elect the president; they get to have the people they want in politically appointed offices.\u201d\n\u201cAbraham Lincoln fired 70 percent of the senior bureaucrats in the federal government,\u201d Gingrich added. \u201cHe had to get rid of Southern sympathizers and people in place willing to fight a civil war.\u201d\nGingrich is right.

        "raw_content": "Google, Comcast could team on AOL\nPhiladelphia \u2013 Comcast Corp., the country\u2019s largest cable TV company, is teaming up with Internet search leader Google Inc. in talks about taking a stake in Time Warner Inc.\u2019s AOL Web portal, a person familiar with the discussions said.\nComcast, Google and Time Warner are discussing a possible deal under which the three companies would form a new entity through which they would jointly own the Web portal, according to the person, who asked not to be identified because release of the information was not authorized.\nThe potential deal could derail separate talks that have been reported between AOL and Microsoft Corp., which is believed to be interested in an alliance between AOL and Microsoft\u2019s MSN, another major Internet portal.\nAny deal between AOL and MSN could threaten Google, since AOL is major contributor to Google\u2019s thriving Internet ad business, accounting for 11 percent of Google\u2019s $2.6 billion in revenue during the first half of this year.\nAOL was long considered a drag on Time Warner due to the rapid exodus of its core dial-up Internet users, but recently AOL has been revamping its business model, opening up its content to all Internet users in order to tap into the booming market for Internet advertising.\nAOL\u2019s original online content now makes it an attractive target for companies like Google and Comcast, which are eager to build up their audiences of Internet users.\nThe three companies plan to leverage their content and consumer reach to create a Web portal powerhouse, the person said. Google, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., is the nation\u2019s most popular search engine, while Comcast and Time Warner are the top two cable operators. Time Warner also owns many media properties including Warner Bros., CNN and HBO.\nGoogle contacted Comcast last week to gauge the cable giant\u2019s interest in such a deal, the person said. Philadelphia-based Comcast had been on the prowl for content to avoid the commoditization of its cable lines.\nReports of the talks among Google, Time Warner and Comcast sent Time Warner\u2019s stock up 15 cents to $17.64 in early trading today on the New York Stock Exchange.\nTime Warner\u2019s CEO Dick Parsons said recently that revving up AOL\u2019s turnaround is a top priority for the company and the greatest opportunity for creating value. Activist investor Carl Icahn, meanwhile, has been pressuring the company to boost its share buyback program and spin off its cable TV unit.\nNo price for any deal has yet been discussed, as the talks remain at an early stage, the person said. Reports today in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times said the deal would focus on AOL\u2019s Web portal business, not on its still-profitable but declining dial-up Internet access business.\nGoogle has been seeking a closer relationship with cable operators because of their close ties with content programmers.\nAsked about the talks, a Google spokesman said: \u201cGoogle and AOL have a healthy global partnership, and AOL remains a valued partner. Your inquiry is about rumored conversations and we\u2019re not able to respond to questions of this type.\u201d An AOL spokeswoman declined to comment. AOL was the fifth most-popular Web brand in September, according to Nielsen/NetRatings, while Google came in fourth.",

        "raw_content": "About Pie\nI am not looking to take over the world with Design By Pie, nor am I looking to expand into a high earning creative agency with lots of staff. My goal is to keep things as simple as possible and to keep things within my grasp. So, I can't say that you will see branches of \"Design By Pie\" opening up in London, New York and Paris. (What a shame!) But what I can promise is a personal, in-touch working relationship and an understanding of what it takes to run a business from the ground up.\nYour Clients Are Your Friends\nWise words. I heard this from the lips of a business person many years ago and I have never forgotten it. In truth, it is only now that I fully understand the meaning. Having been in business for myself for nearly 8 years, I know what it means to build and maintain a good working relationship with clients - which involves honesty, listening, swift responses and availability, alongside producing considered and engaging designs.\nPie's Experience\nMy creative background began in the South West and with a love for illustration and computer aided design. At 21 I pursued this love with a BA Honors course in 'Graphics' in South Wales and came out with a First Class Honors Degree.\nI then gained six years professional experience in the industry:\nLarge Format Print Artworker\nI first started working as an artworker for a large print firm in Cardiff where I learned valuable skills related to the print process, particularly for large format printing such as billboards and banners. I produced posters and billboards for clients like JC Decaux and Sainsburys.\nNew Product Designer\nI then moved to Manchester to work for a New Product Development Department in one of the UK's largest suppliers of educational and teaching resources. I designed brands, packaging and engaging graphics for a range of different educational resources, teaching aids and educational games for schools. My work was sold in the 'Hope', 'Philip & Tacey' and 'NES' catalogues.\nGiftware Designer\nI then pursued a more commercially creative role in designing greeting cards, gift bags, party products and gift wrap for one of the UK's leading manufacturer and distributor of giftware products in Skelmersdale.\nIn 2011 I moved back to the South West to become a freelance graphic designer and set up \"Design By Pie\". Since then I have worked solely developing affordable logos for start-up businesses and providing general graphic design support for a wide range of businesses.",

We use these devices for personal and professional life. This has created a new social landscape, in which the disappearance of cash is displayed as a not very distant reality.\nStarbucks, one chain of cafes and restaurants more innovations implemented, the It has begun testing the experience of running out of cash. More concretely, in one of its restaurants of downtown Seattle.\nStarbucks Spain\nStarbucks will run out of cash\nSince the beginning of this month, the establishment of Russell Investments Center do not accept cash. You can only pay with plastic your credit card or with your smartphone. The company has not made any communication clarifying how long the experiment will expand or elsewhere. What is certain is that this test will help you understand how payment cashless can affect customer experience.\nStarbucks has been seen as mobile payment and application orders grew very quickly, to the point that last year had on many occasions more tail to collect orders digitally made from their phones that natural tail onsite.\nStarbucks twitter\nIn his day, President and CEO of operations Starbucks, Kevin Johnson said that during peak hours in US stores, so tail was formed to collect mobile orders, what many customers could leave half the transaction to see such a crowd of people.\nOther cases of restaurants cashless\nVegetarian chain based in Los Angeles, Sweetgrass, which features up 75 sites scattered around the area of \u200b\u200bCalifornia and the Northeast US, It is supposed the company the country's largest restaurant that does not use cash. Co-CEO Jonathan Neman He said in a press release sent a couple of months ago the media, the decision has worked well and did not entail any reduction in the final accounts of the company, according to technology publication Recode.\nThe only criticism I can support this new policy Starbucks can be inequality can generate about people who are not affiliated with any bank, O that people are not used to pay for a product like coffee with a credit card. Nevertheless, Neman is very clear: \"This test takes place in the downtown area of \u200b\u200ba big city, in which there is a cafe on every corner, so if you do not agree with the cashless system, You have many other options to choose from\u201d.\nAt the operational level, the company will see the advantages of abolishing cash, as the largest storage space, saving time take it to the bank or hygiene requiring metallic money itself. \"As well It is stealing a less worrisome issue in a cashless system\u201d, Neman said.\nIf the system thrives, Starbucks will help to position themselves again as one of the most innovative companies in the restaurant industry. Jonathan Zhang He is a professor of marketing at Foster School of Business at the University of Washington, He uttered this phrase about novelty: \u201cthe abolition of cash, transactions will streamline.

        "raw_content": "Why a new version of Subaru\u2019s WRX STI is at least three years away\nBy\tRonan Glon\t@europeancarnews \u2014 Posted on\tDecember 27, 2016 3:43AM PST 12.27.16 - 3:43AM PST\nSubaru just launched a brand new Impreza, which signals that changes are coming to the hot-rodded WRX STI. A new report coming out of Australia sheds insight into what we can expect from the model.\nThe 2017 Impreza is built upon a new, modular platform that will ultimately be found under nearly every member of the Subaru lineup. However, Australian website Motoring has learned the refreshed WRX STI that\u2019s right around the corner won\u2019t make the shift to the new platform because it won\u2019t be entirely new.\nInstead, the updated WRX STI will be a face-lifted version of the current car (pictured). It will consequently use an evolution of the familiar turbocharged, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine tuned to pump out over 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. A handful of visual updates will help set the updated model apart from its predecessor, though the tweaks will be discreet at best.\nSubaru points out that the current-generation WRX STI is only a couple of years old, so it will stick around for another three or four years. Engineers need time to fully redesign the model.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not the cost, but everything goes through a production cycle. You can\u2019t shorten that production cycle, there\u2019s many things to consider such as durability testing and likewise. It\u2019s not as simple as taking the turbo engine out of one car and presto, off you go. You\u2019re talking about complete suspension tune and a development team. It\u2019s a big process,\u201d explained a senior engineer who asked to remain anonymous.\nThe Japanese brand is under pressure to deliver a WRX STI that\u2019s both sporty and efficient. When it finally arrives, the next-generation model is expected to offer a gasoline-electric plug-in hybrid drivetrain for the first time in the nameplate\u2019s illustrious history. An earlier report claims the drivetrain will provide roughly 320 horsepower, but full technical specifications aren\u2019t available yet.\nLook for the updated Subaru WRX STI to debut in the coming months. It will land in showrooms in time for the 2018 model year.\nUpdated 1/19/2017 by Ronan Glon: Corrected an error pertaining to the next WRX\u2019s projected debut date.\n2020 Subaru Legacy gains 260-horsepower turbo engine, massive touchscreen\nWould you buy a performance version of the Toyota Corolla hatchback?\nDo you see what I see?

        "raw_content": "Hands on with Flipboard for Web: A good start, but missing the mobile app\u2019s polish\nBy\tKate Knibbs\t@KateKnibbs \u2014 Posted on\tJuly 23, 2013 11:55AM PST 07.23.13 - 11:55AM PST\nOn Tuesday, Flipboard expanded its horizons and started offering Web access, so if you don\u2019t have your tablet or phone handy but you still want to browse user-created magazines with the app, no worries \u2013 you can do it from your desktop.\nFlipboard was ahead of the game three years ago, when it debuted for the iPad as the first exclusive-to-tablets personal magazine. And since it introduced user-created magazines earlier this year, people have created over two million of them. Flipboard is giving itself a chance to win over new fans with this browser access, since it lets users show their friends who might not know about the app what they\u2019ve been up to.\nThis doesn\u2019t mean you get the full Flipboard experience from your laptop, though: Instead of accessing all of Flipboard\u2019s features in one place on the mobile app, if you want to edit content on the Web, you need to go to a specific Flipboard Editor page, and if you want to add content, instead of simply pressing the plus button like you do via the mobile app, you have to install a Web bookmarklet on Chrome. So it\u2019s not as seamless, but it\u2019s still a strong start.\nYou can use Flipboard for the Web on many different browsers; it\u2019s supported by IE9+, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. If you just want to look at user-created magazines, you don\u2019t have to install anything. Just click on a link that someone sends you by email or you see on Facebook or Twitter, and it will open a webpage that shows you the magazine.\nInstead of scrolling with your finger, there are arrows you can click on to look at different pages, or you can use the left/right arrow buttons on your keyboard. Alternately, you can use your spacebar to turn the pages forward. If you want to move backwards, you press Shift and space at the same time, and if you want to jump through pages quickly, press shift while holding the left or right arrow. And if you know which page you want, you can enter the page number to arrive directly on that page.\nSo the navigation is a little more involved than simply swiping forward and back on a touchscreen, but since there are so many ways to browse, it\u2019s easy to figure out. It doesn\u2019t quite have the same feeling of actually flipping through news you get when you use the mobile app, but it\u2019s not difficult by any means.\nIf you want to see what else a specific curator made, you can click on their avatar to see a full list of their magazines. And if you\u2019re looking for something different, when you click on the \u201cMenu\u201d icon you see a list of magazines created by other users.\nAnd if you\u2019re really jazzed about a magazine and you want to show your friends, you can click the \u201cShare\u201d button on the cover or interior pages and post it to Twitter or Facebook. There\u2019s also an option to email the link to friends without social media.\nYou can add to your magazines while you browse through the collections of others as long as you\u2019re already logged into your Flipboard account on the Web (more detail on this in a minute). There\u2019s a specific \u201cplus\u201d button that will pop open a window that lets you insert the article you\u2019re looking at into one of your magazines, or you can create a new magazine.\nWant to edit?\nJust browsing through other peoples\u2019 magazines might inspire you to edit your own. Flipboard has Web features that let you add and arrange content, as long as you already have a Flipboard account from an iOS or Android device (they\u2019re working on a Windows 8 version, but it\u2019s not available yet). As I mentioned earlier, you have to log in to Flipboard from the Web in order to access this function.\nProvided you already have a Flipboard account, there are two different ways you can edit your Flipboard from the Web.\nFlipboard Editor\nYou can go to the Flipboard Editor webpage and log in \u2013 you can\u2019t sign up, so if you\u2019re a new user you have to download the mobile app first to access it on the Web.\nOnce you\u2019re logged in, you can edit your personal magazines. This means you can change the title, invite contributors, make it a private magazine, select an appropriate category for it, and click on the articles.\nYou can press the share button and share your magazine on social media. Or you can delete the whole thing.\nBut there\u2019s one important thing you can\u2019t do \u2013 add content. That\u2019s next.\nFlipboard Flip It Web bookmarklet\nIf you want to actually add content to your Flipboard magazines, you\u2019ll need to get the Web Bookmarklet. If you go to the Flipboard webpage, there are instructions to drag the Flip It bookmarklet into the bookmarks section at the top of your Chrome browser page.\nIt only takes a second. This feature only works for Chrome so if you\u2019re using another browser, you\u2019re out of luck.\nOnce you install the bookmarklet at the top of your browser, adding content to your personal magazines is extremely easy. Whenever you see an article that\u2019s a good fit, just click on the bookmarklet and it will open a pop up window that lets you insert the story into your magazine. You can caption it, or share it on social media.\nThe Web options are all easy-to-use and they look great. If you have a computer with a large display, it\u2019s really enjoyable to browse magazines that are visually appealing. No matter how sharp or wide smartphone screens get, they\u2019re not exactly the same as an 18-inch MacBook Pro display.\nIt would be a big improvement if you could sign up for Flipboard directly via the Web app, instead of downloading the app to a mobile device to do that.\nAnd there\u2019s not much by way of discovery tools for Web \u2013 if you don\u2019t have a link to a specific magazine but you know you want to read about surfing, for instance, there\u2019s no way to search for the best magazines about big waves.\nAnother disappointment: Instead of having two separate editing tools, it\u2019d be nice if there were more functionality in the Editor. It\u2019s nice to be able to look at your magazine and change the title, but since you can\u2019t add content, it\u2019s not a very fun feature.\nUsing Flipboard on the Web is great for looking at a specific magazine on a bigger screen, but the fact that the experience is so disjointed means the mobile experience still reigns supreme. If you\u2019re already browsing the Internet on your desktop and you see an article that\u2019s a great fit for a magazine you\u2019re curating, the Flip It bookmarklet is a genuinely useful tool, though if I had to choose I\u2019d always take the mobile version over the Web features.\nHow to clear cookies\nHow to pin a website to the taskbar\nDroid Ultra vs. iPhone 5 vs. Galaxy S4: Verizon Spec Smackdown",

        "raw_content": "William M. Cavanaugh Obituary\nWilliam M. Cavanaugh\nWilliam M. Cavanaugh, 85, of Auburn, died peacefully February 5, 2019 at his home surrounded by family. He was born in Somerville, MA on July 12, 1933, one of eight children of John and Doris (Clough) Cavanaugh. His family returned to Manchester when he was in junior high school, and he was a graduate of West High School in 1951. He later attended St. Anselm College in Goffstown. He was a veteran of the US Air Force serving during the Korean Conflict.\nA man of countless talents, Bill was self- employed for many years. He founded Cavanaugh Construction Company in 1973 building McDonalds restaurants all over the northeast. Several years later, he founded Mark Marine which he considered his most rewarding business venture. He conceived, manufactured and sold the Mark 23 sloop and the Downeast Schooner, boats which are still being sailed and enjoyed forty years later. In 1983, he co-founded, with his wife Marilyn, Country Woods Furniture, a family business which continues to operate to this day, now owned by his eldest son Stephen. Anyone who knew Bill was immediately taken in by his strong love of family, his warmth and his clever wit. Bill loved sailing the coast of Maine and exploring its many islands. He enjoyed walking through woods be it in Maine, the hills in Sicily or the trails along Lake Massabesic. He was a voracious reader, a committed New England sports fan and an enthusiastic traveler. Bill loved spending time with his family and friends and will always be remembered as a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and friend.\nMembers of his family include his wife of 46 years Marilyn (Henrich) Cavanaugh of Auburn, his children Stephen Cavanaugh and his wife Jodie of Amherst, Glenn Cavanaugh and his wife Jayne of New Egypt, NJ, Cindy Dawson and her husband Bob of Manchester, Chris Cavanaugh and his wife Michelle also of Manchester and Scott Cavanaugh and his wife Ashley Grant of Easthampton, MA, his grandchildren Christopher, Kaylee, Emily, Tom, Kylie, Josiah, Claudia, Brodie, Lyla and Ezra, his sister Mae Lindamood of Salem, VA, his brother Ed Cavanaugh and his wife Dolores of San Jose, CA , and his brother- and sister-in-law Bill and Linda Henrich of Syosset, NY, as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his first wife Marie (Proulx) Cavanaugh, by his sisters Doris, Ruth and Pat and his brothers Jack and Paul.\nThe family would like to extend special thanks to Manchester VNA Hospice for their attentiveness, compassion and care. There are no calling hours. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, February 16 at 10 am at St. Peter Church, 567 Manchester Road in Auburn followed by a gathering for friends and family to share memories. A private burial will be held at Auburn Village Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Bill\u2019s name may be made the American Cancer Society 2 Commerce Dr. Suite 110 Bedford, NH 03110 or to the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests 54 Portsmouth St. Concord, NH 03110.\nNancy Philbrick\nFor many years, I had the distinct pleasure of cutting Bill's hair at Nelson's Haircutters and he was always such an interesting person, and so fun to chat with every time he came in.\nA true renaissance man, with multiple talents and interests, he certainly made the most of his life.\nSending along prayers for swift wings to sail Bill to Heaven-\nEd Cummings\nSo sad to hear of Bill's passing. Always enjoyed the Friday lunches when Bill was there. Will also remember the bus ride to Gloucester for the sail aboard the Lannon. God's blessing to you and your family. The world has lost another earth angel.\nDavid Berlinguette\nLeilani and I are so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. You have both been treasured friends to my parents, and to our family as a whole. Please know that we are thinking of you during this difficult time.\nTerry LaRock\nMarilyn, I am sorry for your loss. I first meet Bill at one of those \"famous\" PJ lunches. It saddens me that I had not come to visit him when he was still with us. Terry\nDianne Insley-Alden\nMarilyn, sorry to hear of Bill\u2019s passing . Brian loved working at marks marine. Thought and prayers to you and your family.\nSusan Poliquin\nI am so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. So many family memories were made at Uncle Bill and Aunt Marilyn's home. Family reunions, birthdays etc. They always opened their hearts and home for all of the Cavanaugh clan. My heart hurts and my sincerest condolences go out to Marilyn, Steve, Glenn, Chris, Cindy and Scott and their families. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.\nIn Memory Of William M. Cavanaugh\nhttps://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/manchester-nh/william-cavanaugh-8153618",

        "raw_content": "Swelling and pain of testicle can be reduced with herbal medicine\nThere is no doubt that around 35% of men have been experienced those symptoms including swollen and painful testicle. Swollen and painful testicle is comonly caused by infection. When men have had this symptom, they usually have the disease named epididymo-orchitis. Although it isn\u2019t common for a man to experience this symptom on both sides, it also is possible for both of testicles are affected.\nIf a man has this disease, excepting swollen and painful testicles, he can also find that the skin of his testicles are red and shiny.\nEpididymo-orchitis is commonly caused by direct infection. However, there is still a chance for men to affect this disease via infected blood circulation. Man can also affect this disease by having urine infection, especially in old men. It can also be caused by sexually transmitted bacteria such as chlamydia or gonorrhoea. Epididymo-orchitis should be cured immediately, if left untreated, this disease will bring many severe consequences to men.\nBoth the testicle itself and the epididymis are prone to infection with microorganisms. The pain on testicles is tender and hot to touch. Bacterial infection often descends from the urinary system leading to a typical infection that will normally respond to a course of broad-spectrum antibiotics.\nSince infection and testicular pain is caused by infection, thus the most effective way is antibiotic. Antibiotic can cure this disease within weeks if it is acute type. If man also can change their bad living habits, they will get rid this disease forever. However, there are a lot of people who love to choose antibiotic to cure their disease; thus, they may not allergy to many antibiotic, so, antibiotic isn't suitable for this type of patient. This type of patient should try other type of treatment such as herbal medicine. Herbal medicine - Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a good choice, because it has no drug resistance and is suitable for long time taking.\nIn the previous\uff1aThings you will need to treat a testicular infection\nThe next article\uff1aHow to diagnose epididymitis and treat it?",

        "title": "Diabetic Retinopathy Explained",
        "raw_content": "Diabetic retinopathy can be divided into non-proliferative or proliferative diabetic retinopathy.\nNon-proliferative diabetic retinopathy: In the early stage of the disease, there is weakening of the blood vessels in the retina that causes out-pouching called microaneurysms. These microaneurysms can leak fluid into the retina. There can also be yellow deposits called hard exudates present in the retina from leaky vessels.\nDiabetic macula edema is when the fluid leaks into the region of the retina called the macula. The macula is important for sharp, central vision needed for reading and driving. The accumulation of fluid in the macula causes blurry vision.\nProliferative diabetic retinopathy: As diabetic retinopathy progresses, new blood vessels grow on the surface of the retina. These blood vessels are fragile, which makes them likely to bleed into the vitreous, which is the clear gel that fills the middle of the eye. Bleeding inside the eye is seen as floaters or spots. Over time, scar tissue can then form on the surface of the retina and contract, leading to a retinal detachment. This is similar to wallpaper contracting and peeling away from the wall. If left untreated, retinal detachment can lead to loss of vision.\nSymptoms of diabetic retinopathy:\nAsymptomatic: In the early stages of mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, the person will usually have no visual complaints. Therefore, it is important for people with diabetes to have a comprehensive dilated exam by their eye doctor once a year.\nFloaters: This is usually from bleeding into the vitreous cavity from proliferative diabetic retinopathy.\nBlurred vision: This can be the result of fluid leaking into the retina, causing diabetic macular edema.\nRisk factors for diabetic retinopathy:\nBlood sugar. Lower blood sugar will delay the onset and slow the progression of diabetic retinopathy. Chronically high blood sugar and the longer the duration of diabetes, the more likely chance of that person having diabetic retinopathy.\nMedical conditions. People with high blood pressure and high cholesterol are at greater risk for developing diabetic retinopathy.\nEthnicity. Hispanics, African Americans and Native Americans are at greater risk for developing diabetic retinopathy.\nPregnancy. Women with diabetes could have an increased risk of developing diabetic retinopathy during pregnancy. If they already have diabetic retinopathy, it might worsen during pregnancy.",

        "raw_content": "Alien: Blackout is a brand new survival horror game that takes place in the enormous movie franchise.\nYou play as Ellen Ripley\u2019s daughter, Amanda, who\u2019s trapped onboard the Weyland-Yutani space station alongside four fellow crew members.\nWe bet you can guess where this is going: that\u2019s right, a Xenomorph is lose on the station and it\u2019s in the mood to kill.\nArmed only with a tablet-like device, you have to help Amanda and the crew escape the station before the Xenomorph brutally murders you all.\nThis is basically Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s featuring the Xenomorph\nIn practice, it plays an awful lot like Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s. With your tablet, you can monitor the different cameras in each level, use motion sensors to track the Xenomorph\u2019s movements, and close / open doors as necessary.\nYou have a limited power supply though, so you can only provide power to up to five different systems at once.\nThat\u2019s where the strategy comes in, as you use the tools at your disposal to keep on top of where the Xenomorph is at all times.\nWhen you do find the monster, you can provide orders to your crew members to help keep them safe. You can order them to hide, move quietly, or run depending on the situation.\nBut it does make a few notable improvements\nAnd there are times when they\u2019ll have to move quickly. The Blackout part of the title refers to the eight-is minutes that you have to complete each level before you run out of power, and the station is drenched in darkness.\nThis is where we feel like Alien: Blackout improves on the Freddy\u2019s formula. Having to keep an eye on crew members as they make their way around the ship made the experience feel a lot more like a strategy game, and when one inevitably dies you really feel like the Xenomorph is just one step closer to getting you.\nAnd it can get to you. If you hear a scrambling in the vents, you have to quickly close the door to where you are before the Xenomorph gets you. You have to be sure it\u2019s coming though, as closing the door routes all of the power away from your crew members.\nOverall, we had a much better time with Alien: Blackout than we ever did with Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s. You generally feel more in control of what\u2019s going on, as the mechanics are very straightforward and looking after crew members provides an extra layer of strategy.\nThere is a cost to more straightforward mechanics\nBut this does come at a bit of a cost. When you figure out how the game works, it starts to lose its scares a bit because you\u2019ll just go through the motions to keep yourself and your crew safe.\nBefore you get there though, you\u2019ll have a ton of admittedly tense fun. It\u2019s a very worthy successor to the Freddy\u2019s franchise and we\u2019d like to see a more fleshed out sequel at some point in the future.\nA worthy successor to Five Nights at Freddy's\nAlien: Blackout takes the Five Nights at Freddy's formula and improves on it with more straightforward mechanics and a lot more strategy.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Archives for Miscellaneous / Holidays / Martin Luther King\nToday we commemorate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., who nonviolently protested racial discrimination in federal and state laws. After 15 years of debate, President Ronald Reagan signed a law in 1983 creating a holiday to honor Dr. King. It is observed on the third Monday of January to be close to King\u2019s January 15th birthday. It was eventually officially observed in all 50 states in 2000.\nHis famous \u201cI have a dream\u201d speech was given in 1963, becoming one of the iconic speeches of American history. While many have never heard or read this speech in its entirety, this is a good day to consider his message. It reflects the words expressed in the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Emancipation Proclamation, that \u201call men (and women) are guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.\u201d He was determined that a day when all Americans would walk together is possible. \u201cWe cannot walk alone. And as we walk we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.\u201d\nDr. King recognized that a dream does not just happen, that there must be determination and action. To that end, the federal King Holiday and Service Act, signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994, challenges all Americans to use this holiday as an opportunity to provide acts of service in his honor. Thousands of individuals and groups participate in various activities aimed at making a difference in their communities all over America, and at many locations throughout the world.\nOne man, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., made a difference in his short lifetime with his dream put into action. On this day, it is appropriate that each of us think of how we can make a difference to create a better world. One small change, one act, can ripple into affecting institutions \u2013 and people \u2013 never imagined. What action can you take, not just today, but into the future? What is your dream?\n\u201cWhen we allow freedom to ring \u2013 when we let it ring from every city and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God\u2019s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, \u2018Free at last, Free at last, Great God a-mighty, We are free at last.\u2019\u201d\nFiled Under: Holidays, Martin Luther King Tagged With: Louisiana mesothelioma lawyer, Louisiana personal injury lawyer, Martin Luther King Day, mesothelioma attorney dallas, Mesothelioma lawyer New Mexico, mesothelioma lawyer oklahoma, mesothelioma lawyer pennsylvania, MLK Day, texas mesothelioma lawyer, texas personal injury lawyer",

Janice Neep was competing in the British Eventing Horse Trials at Poplar Park in Woodbridge in Suffo\nA TOP-class event rider from Bardfield Saling is hoping to be back in the saddle before too long, after the plastercast on her ankle is removed this week.\nJanice Neep was competing in the British Eventing Horse Trials at Poplar Park in Woodbridge in Suffolk when she broke her ankle in three places.\nExplaining how the injury happened, Mrs Neep said: \"Me and my horse, Bob, were just coming through the finish after completing a clear round when he was spooked and threw me.\n\"We were going at 23 miles an hour. I remember thinking that I have landed safely on my feet before when I've been thrown, but not at that speed. I guess it wasn't the best idea I've ever had.\"\nThe injury left the 29-year-old's tibia and fibula so badly broken that doctors had to put on a temporary cast and wait for the swelling to go down before they could manipulate the bones back into position and pin them with metal plates.\nMrs Neep, who is one of the few people to have bred and reared some of the horses she competes on, is keen to get back into training and has already booked herself in for a lot of physiotherapy.\n\"I have been told by doctors that if I push it too hard I will do more damage and that will put me out until at least next season.\n\"However, I'd dearly love to be back riding before July 9 as its the last event before the British Championships, which are held from August 3 to 5.\n\"I'd desperately love to get Rupert through the championships. That would be fantastic.\"\nRupert is the horse that Mrs Neep has bred and reared herself. If they win Mrs Neep would receive a trophy and \u00a32500 in prize money.\n\"Rupert is exceedingly naughty but very talented. Last year he was placed every time out.\n\"He got me onto the long list for the European Two-star Event Team and also qualified me in the British intermediate Championships at Gatcombe, which is Princess Anne's house.\n\"He has got me to the highest ranking in the tables that I have ever been.\"\nMrs Neep explained the importance of the bond between a horse and its rider saying that the whole partnership comes down to trust.\n\"Often a horse can't see the other side of a fence or know how deep the water is you are asking it to go over or through.\n\"It is purely that bond of trust that gives it the confidence to go on.\"\nDoctors have told Mrs Neep that she can't ride for between six to eight weeks after the cast comes off and that it will be a long time before she will be able to walk properly.\nHowever, it is clear where her mind is focus, saying: \"I've been told the plates will not be removed from my ankle, so I'll have to get my boots adjusted to allow for the extra width they will create.",

        "raw_content": "Opinion: Will conservatism help Turkey's Erdogan?\nPolice in Turkey have violently broken up an LGBT rally in Istanbul. The incident has served to polarize Turkish society even further, Seda Serdar writes.\nLast weekend, as people gathered in Europe to show solidarity for the victims of the horrific attack in Orlando, Turkey's LGBT community was faced with hatred and violence.\nThe Pride Week, which began on June 20, kicked off with yet another brutal confrontation with the police.\nClearly, the divide within Turkish society is deepening. As in the past, this year's Pride Week coincides with Ramadan, and one sees an increase in hate speech on social media.\nTurkey has not only failed to stand in solidarity with Orlando, barely one week after the attack, but has also mirrored the hatred in society towards those who are not in line with a conservative way of life.\nTurkey has become more polarized than ever. This is a shame and is also troubling for the country.\nErdogan is trying to micromanage\nIstanbul is not only struggling to keep its LGBT community safe, but is - yet again - confronted with controversial plans for the future of Gezi Park in Taksim Square.\nAs the former mayor of Istanbul, President Erdogan is eager to rebuild the historic military barracks in Gezi Park. Three years ago, millions of people protested against the Justice and Development Party's (AKP) decision, leaving Erdogan resentful of his citizens. He realized that there was a huge group of people who his party was no longer able to convince.\nHowever, there is more to this than pure stubbornness.\nBy creating more tension among people, the AKP hopes to distract attention from the ongoing and never-ending struggle against terrorism. At the same time, the government is trying to keep quiet about Iranian-Turkish businessman Reza Zarrab, who is being tried in New York on charges of corruption and tax evasion.\nZarrab's name is also linked to the December 2013 corruption scandal in Turkey, which, the AKP argues, was a conspiracy aimed at overthrowing the government.\nIncreasing polarization\nWhile all eyes are focused on Istanbul's Pride Walk and the president's statements on the future of Gezi Park, the Nationalist Action Party (MHP) is working hard in Ankara; its members are relentlessly trying to reform the organization.\nBy doing so, they hope to regain the votes that were lost to the AKP, which played the nationalist card brilliantly in the previous elections. If MHP succeeds, it could cause Erdogan's party to lose ground. But whether this will help stop polarization within Turkey is a big question mark.\nThe government is well aware of this, so it is now playing the \"conservatism card\" whenever it gets the chance. Of course, the AKP is trying to hold on to its nationalist supporters, but promoting less tolerance will encourage further hatred and division within the country.\nTurkish riot police have fired rubber bullets and tear gas to break up a march staged by the LGBT community in Istanbul. Anti-gay protesters and apparent Islamists have also reportedly been arrested. (19.06.2016)\nBritish rock band Radiohead slams Islamist attack on fans in Istanbul\nBritish rock band Radiohead condemned an attack on customers at an Istanbul record store attending their album release party. Islamists said they were angry with the event coinciding with their holy month, Ramadan. (18.06.2016)\nErdogan restarts controversial Gezi Park development\nThe Turkish president has vowed to push ahead with a controversial development in Istanbul's Gezi Park. The project sparked violent mass protests in 2013 that left several dead and thousands injured. (18.06.2016)\nUS prosecutors say businessman with 'close ties' to Turkey's Erdogan poses flight risk\nA US case against an Iranian-Turkish gold trader stands to reveal details of corruption in the Turkish government. The case is being closely watched in Turkey. (26.05.2016)\nRemembering Gezi during Ramadan: 'Ground dining' brings together anti-war activists\nFollowing the Gezi Park protests, thousands in Istanbul are attending so-called \"ground dining\" gatherings during the holy month of Ramadan, where people of differing views dine together sitting on the ground.

In any case, regardless of events beyond our control, if we do not deliver the Goods on time, you can (in addition to any other remedies) treat the Contract at an end if: we have refused to deliver the Goods, or if delivery on time is essential taking into account all the relevant circumstances at the time the Contract was made, or you said to us before the Contract was made that delivery on time was essential; or after we have failed to deliver on time, you have specified a later period which is appropriate to the circumstances and we have not delivered within that period. If you treat the Contract at an end, we will (in addition to other remedies) promptly return all payments made under the Contract. If you were entitled to treat the Contract at an end, but do not do so, you are not prevented from cancelling the Order for any Goods or rejecting Goods that have been delivered and, if you do this, we will (in addition to other remedies) without delay return all payments made under the Contract for any such cancelled or rejected Goods. If the Goods have been delivered, you must return them to us or allow us to collect them from you and we will pay the costs of this. If any Goods form a commercial unit (a unit is a commercial unit if the division of the unit would materially impair the value of the goods or the character of the unit) you cannot cancel or reject the Order for some of those Goods without also cancelling or rejecting the Order for the rest of them. We do not generally deliver to addresses outside England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Channels Islands. If, however, we accept an Order for delivery outside that area, you may need to pay import duties or other taxes, as we will not pay them.

If full payment is overdue or a step occurs towards your bankruptcy, we can choose, by notice to cancel any delivery and end any right to use the Goods still owned by you, in which case you must return them or allow us to collect them. Conformity and Guarantee We have a legal duty to supply the Goods in conformity with the Contract, and will not have confirmed if it does not meet the following obligation. Upon delivery, the Goods will: be of satisfactory quality; be reasonably fit for any particular purpose for which you buy the Goods which, before the Contract is made, you made known to us (unless you do not actually rely, or it is unreasonable for you to rely, on our skill and judgment) and be fit for any purpose held out by us or set out in the Contract; and conform to their description. It is not a failure to confirm if the failure has its origin in your materials. We will immediately, or within a reasonable time, give you the benefit of the free guarantee given by the manufacturer of the Goods. Details of the guarantee, including the name and address of the manufacturer, the duration and territorial scope of the guarantee, are set out in the manufacturer's guarantee provided with the Goods. This guarantee will take effect at the time the Goods are delivered, and will not reduce your legal rights. We will provide the following after-sales service: 3 years warranty on all MAX-LED lights and 2 years warranty on all other goods. If in doubt, please check the product description. Successors and our sub-contractors Either party can transfer the benefit of this Contract to someone else and will remain liable to the other for its obligations under the Contract. The Supplier will be liable for the acts of any sub-contractors who it chooses to help perform its duties. Circumstances beyond the control of either party In the event of any failure by a party because of something beyond its reasonable control: the party will advise the other party as soon as reasonably practicable; and the party's obligations will be suspended so far as is reasonable, provided that that party will act reasonably, and the party will not be liable for any failure which it could not reasonably avoid, but this will not affect the Customer's above rights relating to the delivery and any right to cancel, below. Excluding liability The Supplier does not exclude liability for: (i) any fraudulent act or omission; or (ii) for death or personal injury caused by negligence or breach of the Supplier's other legal obligations. Subject to this, the Supplier is not liable for (i) loss which was not reasonably foreseeable to both parties at the time when the Contract was made, or (ii) loss (eg loss of profit) to the Customer's business, trade, craft or profession which would not be suffered by a Consumer - because the Supplier believes the Customer is not buying the Goods wholly or mainly for its business, trade, craft or profession. Governing law, jurisdiction and complaints The Contract (including any non-contractual matters) is governed by the law of England and Wales. Disputes can be submitted to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales or, where the Customer lives in Scotland or Northern Ireland, in the courts of respectively Scotland or Northern Ireland. We try to avoid any dispute, so we deal with complaints in the following way: If a dispute occurs customers should contact us to find a solution. We will aim to respond with an appropriate solution within 5 days. Withdrawal and cancellation You can withdraw the Order by telling us before the Contract is made if you simply wish to change your mind and without giving us a reason, and without incurring any liability. This is a distance contract (as defined below) which has the cancellation rights (Cancellation Rights) set out below. These Cancellation Rights, however, do not apply, to a contract for the following goods (with no others) in the following circumstances: goods that are made to your specifications or are clearly personalised; goods which are liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Also, the Cancellation Rights for a Contract cease to be available in the following circumstances: in the case of any sales contract, if the goods become mixed inseparably (according to their nature) with other items after delivery. Right to cancel Subject as stated in these Terms and Conditions, you can cancel this contract within 30 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 30 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party, other than the carrier indicated by you, acquires physical possession of the last of the Goods. In a contract for the supply of goods over time (ie subscriptions), the right to cancel will be 30 days after the first delivery. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us of your decision to cancel this Contract by a clear statement setting out your decision (eg a letter sent by post, fax or email). You can use the attached model cancellation form, but it is not obligatory. In any event, you must be able to show clear evidence of when the cancellation was made, so you may decide to use the model cancellation form. You can also electronically fill in and submit the model cancellation form or any other clear statement of the Customer's decision to cancel the Contract on our website www.futurehousestore.co.uk or www.futurehousestore.com. If you use this option, we will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a cancellation in a Durable Medium (eg by email) without delay. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. Effects of cancellation in the cancellation period Except as set out below, if you cancel this Contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). Deduction for Goods supplied We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you (ie handling the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods: eg it goes beyond the sort of handling that might be reasonably allowed in a shop). This is because you are liable for that loss and, if that deduction is not made, you must pay us the amount of that loss. Timing of reimbursement If we have not offered to collect the Goods, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than: 14 days after the day we receive back from you any Goods supplied, or (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have sent back the Goods. If we have offered to collect the Goods or if no Goods were supplied, we will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this Contract. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. Returning Goods If you have received Goods in connection with the Contract which you have cancelled, you must send back the Goods or hand them over to us at 14 Sharp Close, Coventry, West Midlands, CV6 4EX without delay and in any event not later than 30 days from the date of purchase. The deadline is met if you send back the Goods before the period of 30 days has expired. You agree that you will have to bear the cost of returning the Goods. For the purposes of these Cancellation Rights, these words have the following meanings: distance contract means a contract concluded between a trader and a consumer under an organised distance sales or service-provision scheme without the simultaneous physical presence of the trader and the consumer, with the exclusive use of one or more means of distance communication up to and including the time at which the contract is concluded; sales contract means a contract under which a trader transfers or agrees to transfer the ownership of goods to a consumer and the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price, including any contract that has both goods and services as its object.

        "raw_content": "Methane\u2019s rapid spurt risks climate curbs plan\nA recent rapid rise in methane could damage global attempts to slow climate change through cuts in carbon dioxide emissions.\nMechanical harvesting of rice in Raipur, India. Scientists warn that methane, a more potent although less abundant greenhouse gas, could lead to exceeding the 1.5 degrees climate threshold even if CO2 is kept in check. One solution to lowering methane emissions is revisiting food production. Image: Asian Development Bank, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0\nOne year ago today, with huge relief, scarcely able to believe their achievement, world leaders finally agreed to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.\nBut a bare 12 months later comes sobering news: atmospheric concentrations of another gas, methane, are growing faster than at any time in the last 20 years, putting further pressure on the historic Paris Agreement to deliver substantial cuts in emissions very soon.\nSome scientists say the world now needs to change course and do more about methane to have a chance of keeping average global temperatures from rising by more than 2\u00b0C.\nAnd one seasoned Arctic watcher says the changes there in the last decade are altering a system which has remained intact since the Ice Age.\nMethane is the second major greenhouse gas, with agriculture accounting for 40 per cent of emissions. Over a century it is 34 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide (though far less abundant), but over 20 years methane is 84 times more potent than CO2.\nIn an editorial in the journal Environmental Research Letters, an international team of scientists reports that methane concentrations in the air began to surge around 2007 and grew steeply in 2014 and 2015. In those two years concentrations rose by 10 or more parts per billion annually. In the early 2000s they had been rising by an annual average of 0.5 ppb.\nWhen it comes to methane, there has been a lot of focus on the fossil fuel industry, but we need to look just as hard if not harder at agriculture.\nRob Jackson, a co-author of the editorial and professor of earth system science, Stanford University\nThe scientists say the reason for the spike is unclear, but they think it may be the consequence of emissions from agricultural sources and mainly around the tropics \u2013 possibly from farm sites like rice paddies and cattle pastures.\nThey say research shows that the growth of CO2 emissions has flattened out in recent years, just as methane\u2019s seem to be soaring.\nRob Jackson, a co-author of the editorial and professor of earth system science at Stanford University, US, says the methane findings \u201care worrisome but provide an immediate opportunity for mitigation that complements efforts for carbon dioxide.\u201d\nHe and his fellow authors helped to produce the 2016 Global Methane Budget, a comprehensive look at how methane flowed in and out of the atmosphere from 2000 to 2012 because of human activities and other factors. The budget is published by the Global Carbon Project, a research initiative of Future Earth.\nPeter Wadhams, emeritus professor of ocean physics at Cambridge University, says scientists are now seeing large plumes of methane escaping from the shallow seas north of Siberia. These emissions, and those from the thawing tundra, are contributing to the sudden rise in methane concentrations.\nProfessor Wadhams devotes part of his new book A Farewell to Ice to the subject. He told the Climate News Network: \u201cThe methane being released now, at an accelerating rate, could easily negate the carbon reductions we are making.\n\u201cA Russian expedition which returned from the Arctic recently estimates there\u2019s so much methane in offshore sediments that if it all escaped it would mean an immediate temperature rise of about 0.6\u00b0C. And there\u2019s quite a big chance of a total melt.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been going to the Arctic for over 40 years, and this is entirely new. The melting sea ice has allowed the water temperature to rise to 7\u00b0C since about 2005, affecting the permafrost which had till then remained unchanged since the Ice Age. The methane plumes are an amazing sight, a mass of bubbles erupting from the sea surface.\u201d\nAnd releases of methane from the sea floor are not restricted to the shallow Arctic waters: one of the places they are occurring as well is in the north Pacific.\nRapid reversal\nMethane comes from a variety of sources, including wild areas like marshes and wetlands, and fossil fuel exploration. About 60 per cent of the gas which enters the atmosphere annually comes from human activities, notably agriculture.\nMarielle Saunois, lead author of the ERL paper, from Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines University (UVSQ), France, says the world should do more about methane emissions: \u201cIf we want to stay below two degrees temperature increase, we should not follow this track and need to make a rapid turn-around.\u201d\nSaunois says that, on available data, she and her colleagues think agricultural growth is the likelier source, at least for now, of rising methane than expanded natural gas drilling.\n\u201cWhen it comes to methane, there has been a lot of focus on the fossil fuel industry, but we need to look just as hard if not harder at agriculture\u201d, Professor Jackson says. \u201cThe situation certainly isn\u2019t hopeless. It\u2019s a real opportunity.\u201d",

Recruitment will be mainly by word of mouth by those aware or associated with the program identifying suitable Mentors.\nTraining: training is provided to Mentors in the following areas;\nHow to establish rapport\nWinning confidence\nNot making judgment\nHow to tease out issues\nProvide guidelines & direction\nContextual with this program\nTeaming with Clients: A buddy system ensures that in the first instance a new Mentor will team up with an experienced Mentor. When a client skills needs matches the skills and experience of the Mentor then they are teamed up to complete the consolidation phase. Depending on the outcome of that phase they may proceed to provide support during the start up of the business for up to 12 months.\nRoles & Responsibilities: This program is made available to Clients for a monthly fee, and that the Mentors give their time and expertise on a voluntary basis for the StartUp Business Development Program and the Centre offers a stipend to cover out of pocket expenses for Mentors. Mentors and Clients are both required to sign a Memorandum of Understanding that shows both the obligations and liabilities of each party. The programs are provided to the client on a best intention basis and with liability limited to unlawful acts.\nCommunication: The ongoing success of this program is regular communication with the Mentors it is only through the sharing of ideas, experience, successes and failures that we can hope to improve. The pool of talent and experience of the Mentors is too valuable resource not to tap into it. Communication in the first instance will take the form of:\nInformal & formal meetings\nCommitment: The commitment of Mentors during is likely to be: (it should be noted that this could vary case by case)\nGeneral: Mentors meet on the first Monday of each month between 5-7pm to discuss the program, meet Client\u2019s and agree allocation of Mentor/Client teams.\nTraining: From time to time Mentor training may be provided.\nEvaluation: It is unlikely that Mentors would be involved in this stage however in some specialist cases this could be required.\nConsolidation: This is a time of maximum commitment by the Mentor with the client, and will vary depending on the complexity and skill level of the client. But it would normal be a series of meetings up to 10 with the client where tasks were assigned and assessed to arrive at a position whereby a go /no go decision could be reached.\nStartUp: If the decision to go is made that ongoing support for up to 12 months is offered. It is envisaged that these would take the form of a monthly review meeting together with some telephone assistance.\nKey: The frequency and duration of Client meetings in this Program is determined by agreement between the Client and the Mentor but typically would be no more frequent than weekly.",

        "title": "Mixed Numbers, Simplification of Fractions and Improper Fractions - 11-Plus Exam Illustrations - Maths Revision Quiz",
        "raw_content": "Mixed Numbers, Simplification of Fractions and Improper Fractions\nThe use of fractions puts a lot of children off maths but they are not as intimidating as you may think. Fractions at primary school level are not likely to get very complicated and 11+ papers will not be much more challenging.\nA key issue to remember when looking at a fraction is that it is a number, but is also a sum. That line down the middle is the equivalent of a division sign.\nThis means that there are a lot of fractions that are identical. For example, if you divide 1 by 2, you get the same answer as if you divide 4 by 8.\nThat means that 1 \u00f7 2 = 4 \u00f7 8, or, in fractions,\nOften a complicated-looking fraction can be shown in a far simpler format. We can deal with a half - we know what that looks like - whereas someone talking about seven fourteenths of a figure would have some of us worrying. There is an easy way to simplify complicated fractions and make them a lot more manageable.\nFirstly, look at the two numbers on top and bottom of the fraction. They are called the numerator and denominator respectively.\nIf the numerator is 1, you can't simplify the fraction. It is already in its simplest form. However, if you can divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number, you can simplify the fraction.\nLet's take, as an example, four twentieths. Which number goes into both top and bottom?\nIgnore the fact that they can be divided by 1 - every number can - find a number that both numbers can be divided by. The larger, the better. If you find the largest one straight away, you'll save yourself repeating the whole process.\nIn our example, the highest number that both numerator and denominator can be divided by is 4. We'll now divide the numerator and denominator by 4...\nThis shows that the fractions are the same as each other. Four twentieths is the same as one fifth.\nSo how do you know if it is in its simplest form? The best way to tell is to look for a prime number - if one of the numbers is a prime (nothing can divide into it other than one and itself) then the fraction is likely to be in its simplest form or you can only use that prime number to divide by to get a simpler form. For example, five is a prime number. Only one and five fit into it.\nA good tip is to look for even numbers. If both numerator and denominator are even, at least you can divide by two. Sometimes it's easier to do the process repeatedly and get the answer right rather than try to find the highest number that fits into both, get a calculation wrong, and mess up the question.\nFractions which are presented in a recognisable form with a small number over a bigger number are proper fractions. They are equal to less than a whole one. However, there are times when it is necessary to use either an improper fraction, where the number on top is larger than the one below, or a mixed number, which includes a whole number alongside a proper fraction. Improper fractions sometimes get called top-heavy fractions.\nThe proper fraction is two thirds. The other two are both one and a half - but they are presented in different ways. If you divide 3 by 2, which is what the improper fraction above means, then you get one and a half. This is a mathematically neat way of showing things but of course we are more familiar with seeing the other format, with the whole number followed by the fraction.\nThere is a straightforward way to convert an improper fraction into a mixed number. Look at how many times the bottom number (denominator) fits into the top number (numerator). That's the number of whole ones in the answer. The remainder, if there is one, will go over the denominator as a fraction.\nThe answer will therefore be 2, as the whole number, and 1 over 2 (remainder over the denominator) as the fraction. That's two and a half.\n[Notice that the denominator remains the same; however, the fraction part of the mixed number may need to be simplified to show it in its most recognisable form.]\nNow, the same works in reverse. If you need to change a mixed number into an improper fraction then multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator. Put this figure over the denominator.",

        "title": "NAEP Board Wants To Reduce Background Queries - Education Week",
        "raw_content": "NAEP Board Wants To Reduce Background Queries\nThe board that oversees the National Assessment of Educational Progress wants to reduce the number of questions asked of students and teachers that accompany the federally sponsored exams.\nA draft of \"Background Information Framework for the National Assessment of Educational Progress\" is available from the National Assessment Governing Board. (Requires Microsoft Word.)\nBut at a meeting here this month, researchers and others urged caution in revising what many view as a key feature of the \"nation's report card.\"\nIn addition to monitoring student achievement, NAEP gathers information on students' experiences in and out of school through hundreds of background questions posed to students, teachers, and administrators at participating sites.\nThe National Assessment Governing Board, which sets policy for NAEP, held the May 1 meeting to gather comments on a proposed framework for rethinking such questions. The board hopes to focus them more squarely on information needed to report test results or that has a proven relation to student achievement.\nWhile generally supportive of the board's efforts, respondents recommended prudence in revamping a closely watched part of NAEP's data-gathering efforts.\nThe in-school and out-of-school information collected by NAEP is \"a crucial tool\" for fostering intelligent discourse about education policy and practice, according to Sandra Feldman, the president of the American Federation of Teachers. \"Test scores surely tell us something,\" she said in written testimony. \"But without context, there is little hope of analysis.\"\nJamel Abedi, a professor of education at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that any changes would \"surely have significant impact on the analyses and reporting of NAEP,\" including the ability to compare results across time.\nAgreement is widespread, however, that the questionnaires, which have been part of NAEP since its inception 34 years ago, need to be improved. The number of background questions has grown considerably over the years, and the governing board, known as NAGB, is concerned both about their quality and the burden on respondents, particularly given the increased frequency Congress has mandated for the assessment.\nSome parents and policymakers also contend that a number of those questions are an invasion of privacy and focus too much on students' beliefs and attitudes.\nThe \"No Child Left Behind\" Act of 2001 requires states to take part in NAEP tests in reading and mathematics in grades 4 and 8 every other year. The law, a reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, gives the governing board new authority to approve the background questions. Previously, the board simply advised the Department of Education.\nNAGB has proposed refocusing the questions on the assessment's primary mission: providing a fair and accurate measure of student achievement. Information gathered on students' race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, for instance, helps officials report performance for different student populations.\nThe board also has proposed maximizing the use of data from other sources in order to limit the amount of background data that NAEP must collect. And it has proposed cycling in some background questions periodically, preferably for limited samples of students, rather than asking the same questions every time.\nMany of those who testified agreed with the board's general principles.\nSally Kilgore, a former director of the office of research in the Education Department's office of educational research and improvement, advised the board to invest in a \"few metrics\" of high quality. In particular, she applauded NAGB's proposal to formulate a better measure of students' socioeconomic status than their eligibility for subsidized lunches, perhaps by devising an index based on multiple indicators.\n\"This could be a substantial contribution to this country,\" Ms. Kilgore argued.\nBut Paul W. Holland, a measurement expert with the Princeton, N.J.-based Educational Testing Service, contended that \"a huge effort will be put into getting nowhere with that.\"\nHe recommended that the board focus, instead, on collecting better measures of educational practices. \"NAEP can give a better description of what is happening in schools to particular groups of students than any other vehicle,\" he said, arguing that those portraits are its greatest contribution to education policy.\nOthers expressed worries that the board would go too far in its quest to reduce the amount of contextual information NAEP collects, either jettisoning some information entirely or collecting it on too infrequent a basis.\n\"Rather than having fewer noncognitive items, NAEP should have more,\" said Harold Wenglinsky, an associate professor at the City University of New York's Baruch College of Public Affairs. He noted that secondary analyses of NAEP have had a substantial influence on educational research.\nPatte Barth, a senior associate with the Washington-based Education Trust, said some contextual questions are so important for students' opportunity to learn that they should be monitored every two years.\nShe cited information on teacher credentials; student coursetaking; subject-specific resources, such as access to science labs and libraries; and teachers' instructional practices. Because such information is central to understanding the achievement gaps between students of different backgrounds, she added, \"any background question worth asking is worth reporting by group.\"\nWhile some people at the NAGB session questioned the quality of teachers' self-reports, Ms. Barth and others said ways were available to improve measures of educational practices. \"We would not like to see these questions eliminated,\" she said, though acknowledging that the number could be streamlined.\nOut-of-School Factors\nIn making decisions about which information to collect, Ms. Barth counseled the board to focus on factors \"that are within the school's control, since these can more easily be changed by public policy.\"\nBut others pressed NAGB to retain information about out-of-school factors that may have a strong relationship to student achievement.\n\"Given that the research has consistently shown that out-of-school factors explain the lion's share of variance in achievement, and given, too, that many of these factors, like in-school ones, are neither fixed nor immutable, they should be an important priority for improved background-data collection,\" said Ms. Feldman of the AFT.\nIn one of their rare instances of agreement, both the AFT and the Washington-based Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, suggested that the board reconsider producing a parent questionnaire.\nPatrick F. Fagan, a fellow at the foundation, also urged the board to collect more information on family structure and on students' participation in religious communities because of what he says is the critical import of such factors to children's sense of belonging.\n\"Perhaps you're aware of the law, which prohibits NAEP from getting into intrusive questions of family beliefs and attitudes?\" John H. Stevens, the NAGB member who is spearheading development of the framework, countered. \"How could we possibly ask this in a way that could be viewed by ordinary citizens, as well as members of Congress, as nonintrusive?\"\nThe No Child Left Behind Act prohibits NAEP from asking about \"personal or family beliefs and attitudes.\" It also requires all questions to be \"secular, neutral, and nonideological.\"\nMr. Stevens, who is the executive director of the Texas Business and Education Coalition, asked why NAEP, in particular, would be the appropriate or best vehicle for collecting such information.\nIn an answer that reflects the growing pressures on NAEP, Mr. Fagan responded: \"Because it is at the center of the education policy discussion.\"\nAfter the meeting, Mr. Stevens pointed out that with limited resources, the governing board has to weigh tradeoffs. \"Do we expand the background questions,\" he asked, \"or maybe grow the samples\" to provide more accurate reporting for subgroups of students?\n\"We need to really be sure that we get the essential part of our mission as right as we can.\"\n\"Expansion is fine,\" agreed Thomas H. Fisher, another board member and the director of assessment services for the Florida education department, \"as long as Congress and the president enact the necessary changes and provide the necessary funding.\"\nPublished in Print: May 14, 2003, as NAEP Board Wants To Reduce Background Queries\n\"NAEP Board Worries States Excluding Too Many From Tests,\" March 19, 2003.\n\"Board Plunges into Thorny Issue of Revising NAEP Reading Outline,\" Nov. 20, 2002.\n\"Researchers Helping NAEP Board Find Value in Background Queries,\" Oct. 2, 2002.\n\"A NAEP Primer,\" March 13, 2002.",

        "title": "The Magazine Project: Making the Writing Process Real - Education Week Teacher",
        "raw_content": "The Magazine Project: Making the Writing Process Real\nJune 14, 2011 | Includes updates and/or revisions.\nFirst, correct every little mistake in the student's paper. Then have the student re-copy\u0097by hand\u0097the now \"perfect\" essay. It's hard to believe, but this was the way most teachers approached writing instruction when my career began in the early 1970s. I was a reflective teacher who was always thinking about what worked (or didn't) in my classroom. By the time I had access to professional development on \"the writing process\" and \"workshopping,\" I'd already figured out that my students didn't need to be corrected. Instead, they needed to learn about the many steps involved in developing a great piece of writing.\nI eventually became a middle school literacy coach, supporting my colleagues in action research on how to teach students to revise their own writing. It can be hard to overcome old habits\u0097and not teach as we ourselves were taught. I think back to a staff meeting when a former English department chair said, \"Guys, I don't think I know how to teach writing. I think I just assign writing.\" (That admission jumpstarted some exciting improvements at our school!)\nEventually, in 2008, I returned to a regular classroom role. I struggled with the specter of the California Standards Test (CST), which measures all writing skills with multiple-choice questions. If your own essays are littered with run-ons, does it matter that you can identify a correct compound sentence? Does the ability to choose the right transition word from a list of four selections mean that you can skillfully use transitions? I knew that my students needed to excel on the CST, but it was more important to me that these skills were embedded in their own writing.\nAnd that's how the student magazines were born. As I thought about how to help students meet writing goals, I realized that creating magazines on their favorite topics could help them master many of the language arts standards I was responsible for teaching. Students tend to be more engaged when they can make choices about their activities. In addition, a yearlong project with a final product can help students take a real sense of ownership of their work, which amps up their commitment to excellent writing. Finally, these authentic writing samples offer a terrific basis for assessing students' progress toward the language arts standards throughout the year.\nHere are some tips for taking this kind of approach:\n\u2022 Let students select their own topics\u0097with your approval and that of their parent(s). Choice is a powerful motivator, especially for middle school students. My students' topics have run the gamut: from endangered species to hip hop dancing to ancient Japanese deities. Occasionally, students get tired of their original topic or get interested in another student\u2019s topic. I allow students to switch gears if they are willing to rework whatever elements have already been graded\u0097but typically, I can convince a student to stick with the original topic.\n\u2022 Familiarize students with the magazine format. When you introduce the project, guide students in looking at a variety of magazines so that they can better visualize what their own magazines might look like.\n\u2022 Open the door to collaboration. My students may work alone or with a partner, but each partner needs to create his or her own magazine. By partnering, students are frequently able to discuss and refine their thinking and writing, a strategy that research demonstrates is particularly important for second-language learners.\n\u2022 Specify the types of pieces that will appear in the magazine, tying them to the standards that students must meet. My students' magazines must include the following elements: a research report with a works cited page, a short story, a poem, a editorial, a creative advertisement connected to their topic, and a survey. Students are expected to include a cover and table of contents, and they are welcome to add other features, such as a joke or activity page. As we address each element of the magazine, we address skills and concepts connected to language arts standards, such as multi-paragraph essay writing, inclusion of supporting details, revision for organization and specificity, and editing for grammar, spelling, and punctuation.\n\u2022 Structure the magazine as a yearlong project. We work on our magazine elements from time to time over the course of the year, connected to our district's pacing plan: narrative, expository, response to literature, and persuasion. Students keep their magazine elements in a manila file folder which is easy to organize and quick to hand out when a new lesson is presented. I set a due date for each element in the magazine and give grades or points that accumulate over the course of the year. The yearlong project makes it easy to build in time or modify assignments for slow workers or students with special needs.\n\u2022 Make it a low-tech project if necessary. I always give students the option of using technology to produce their magazines if they so choose. Unfortunately, my school doesn\u2019t have enough technology available for entire classes of students to have frequent access, but the old-fashioned cut-and-paste method works just fine.\n\u2022 Take advantage of the time after testing. In our district, 6th graders have a lot of \"down time\" in May as 7th and 8th graders continue testing. It is a great time to pull the magazine elements together. By June, our magazines are complete.\n\u2022 Celebrate the results. Students are always excited to see the display of completed magazines and enjoy learning about one another's interests.\nWhen questioned, most students name the magazine project as their favorite activity of the year. I'm happy because the magazine project meets my goals as a writing teacher\u0097helping students experience the pleasure of writing, gain confidence as writers, improve their writing skills, and understand the connection between the writing questions on the CST and their own writing. I hope I've also inspired a passion for writing in many of my students, enriching their lives for years to come. Perhaps one day I'll even see one of these sparks of interest burst fully into flame when one of my students publishes a \"real\" magazine article.\nAfter eight years as a literacy coach, Kathie Marshall returned to her Los Angeles classroom in the fall of 2008 to teach middle grades language arts.

        "raw_content": "Water and Sanitation must put measures to prevent further loss of life in Giyani\nThe Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation, Mr Mlungisi Johnson, has called for urgent measures to prevent any further loss of life caused by open manholes and trenches in Giyani and other parts of SA.\nThis follows the drowning of Nsuku Mhlongo of Homu Village in Giyani who drowned in a trench left open following the cessation of work at Giyani Bulk Water Project.\nThe drowning is a reminder of the injustice that has been inflicted on the people of Giyani, who should have benefited from the water project. \u201cThe committee has over a period of time called for payment of the service provider on work done in order to ensure that work in the area is completed and that residents get water which is their constitutional right,\u201d Mr Johnson said.\nAt the heart of this unfortunate and preventable death is the inability to plan within the Department of Water and Sanitation that has seen the depletion of funds, whereas the planned work is not implemented.\nThe department has over the past few years spent almost 100% of appropriated funds but has only achieved less than 50% of its targets.\n\u201cIt is heart-breaking that a young life full of promise has been cut shot because of the ineptitude and incompetence of many within the department of Water and Sanitation. This is completely unacceptable, and someone must take full responsibility for this irresponsible act of negligence,\u201d Mr Johnson emphasised.\n\u201cOn behalf of the people of SA, as public representatives, I convey sincere condolences to the immediate Mhlongo family and the broader family.\u201d added Mr Johnson.\nThe department has a construction unit that must be urgently dispatched to Giyani, not only to close the open manholes but to come up with measures to complete the project and provide people of the area with their constitutional right, that is, water.\nThe committee will in its first meeting of the year require the department to clarify plans they have put in place to find funding aimed at finishing the project in Giyani and others in a similar state.\nDistributed by APO Group on behalf of Republic of South Africa: The Parliament.\nDistribution channels: Environment, World & Regional",

        "raw_content": "A conversation about the nature of regional scenes was the initial impetus for having a show of San Francisco based artists here in Leipzig. All of us involved in the Pierogi Leipzig project have links to northern California and the San Francisco region. Pierogi itself is a product of the burgeoning Williamsburg art scene, a pronounced alternative to New York\u2019s Chelsea arts complex. Pierogi is currently participating in another regional scene even further removed from Manhattan, that of post-GDR Leipzig which presented itself as an interesting correlation to Williamsburg. There has been a lot of attention, of late, given to Leipzig\u2019s hothouse atmosphere producing first the Leipzig school and then the new Leipzig school.\nThis show, then, is an opportunity to bring artists from one pocket of alternative culture production to another. With Pierogi the perennial alternative space as the conduit.\nThe title Euphorion comes from Goethe\u2019s Faust, a story about an even earlier Leipziger. Euphorion is an Icarus type character who got a little too hot for his own good, mirroring the double-edged nature of the art world and marketing mechanisms in general.\n\u201cIf you want to capture us, don\u2019t be so eager. In the end, we are just longing to embrace the form you so sweetly display\u201d (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust Part II)\nContemporary Art from San Francisco\nSpinnereistrasse 7, Halle 10 PF 514 / Leipzig (Plagwitz), Germany 04179\nT. +49 (0)341 241 90 80 / F. + 49 (0)341 241 90 82 / E.

        "raw_content": "Etobicoke Centre is located on the western side of Metropolitan Toronto. It has a rich history consisting of colourful neighborhoods and interesting residents, parks and historical landmarks. Of note are:\nEatonville Neighbourhood\nApplewood Shaver House\nThis community is named after Timothy Eaton of Eaton\u2019s department store fame who, along with his descendants, bought 369 acres of land on both sides of Highway 427 between Bloor and Burnhamthorpe. From 1891 to 1944, they produced milk, beef, pork and vegetables for their downtown Toronto store. The name is remembered today in Eatonville Public Library and Eatonville Junior School.\nCentennial Park is a large regional park with many sports facilities, maintained by the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division of the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada\nThe park was opened in 1967 for Canada's 100 birthday by the then Borough of Etobicoke and was part of the Hirons' dairy farm (the remaining part of the farm was sold for residential development in 1968.\nIn 1976, the park was one of two venue sites for the 1976 Summer Paralympics.\nIn 1998, when the six municipalities comprising Metropolitan Toronto were amalgamated, the park was integrated into Toronto Parks and Recreation from the former City of Etobicoke Parks Department\nIn 2015, the park hosted the BMX cycling at the 2015 Pan American Games. After the Games, the BMX track became a legacy site for public use\nThe park has a variety of features including:\nEtobicoke Olympium, a large athletic centre that was built in 1975.\nCentennial Park Ski & Snowboard Centre\nA alpine skiing hill is the focal point of the Centre. It features one T-bar and a conveyor lift, serving one intermediate slope, one beginner slope, and a snowboard slope. It is one of two ski hills located within the boundaries of Toronto, the other being the North York Ski Centre.\nCentennial Hill was the site of a municipal dump and the south end was used as a transfer station.\nCentennial Park Stadium, a 3,500 seat capacity stadium that is primarily used for athletics, soccer and occasionally for kabaddi.\nCentennial Park Arena 2 pads\nIn the mid to late 1970s there was a Motocross track at Centennial park, open for riding and also held Motocross races on Sundays. Mike Austin's MRAC Motorcycle Racing Association of Canada ran the races.\n8 lane polytan track and field facility\ngo-cart track\n120 acre golf course\none baseball diamond\nfive softball diamonds\nDesignated Toboggan Hill\nFlying Circles\nExercise Course (Kiwanis)\n7 acres marshland/wetlands\n11 acre man made pond\nCentennial Park Pan Am BMX Centre\nJames Gardens is a public botanical garden in Etobicoke area of Toronto, Ontario, Canada along the Humber River. It was a former private estate sold to the City of Toronto and now managed by the Toronto Parks Department.\nJames Gardens consists of broad lawns, numerous flower beds, specimen plantings, rock gardens, nature trails, three large and four small ponds fed by a spring and connected by a stream, a carp pool, and a lawn bowling court. It is connected to the Humber River pedestrian and cycling trail.\nEach year thousands of flowers and over 75,000 tulips are planted in the beds, whose designs and materials are changed annually in the rock gardens and under the well-pruned trees and shrubs. Each year, there are tens of thousands of visitors, and many weddings and receptions are held on the grounds of James Gardens.\nApplewood Shaver House - A part of Canadian History\nApplewood Shaver House is a 1850's farmhouse where James Shaver Woodsworth was born. He was a Member of Parliament and social reformer. This house was saved to preserve his legacy and a fine example of early Canadian architecture.\nApplewood is located at 450 The West Mall and is not only a living and active museum of Etobicoke\u2019s bygone era, but it also helps identify those who helped shape this great part of Etobicoke Centre in Toronto. Applewood was built in 1852 by Peter Shaver and was the birthplace of his grandson James. James Shaver Woodsworth was a social reformer and pioneer in the Canadian democratic movement as he became the first leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) Party. The Applewood Shaver House almost met its demise in 1980 if not for the effort of a group of Etobicoke citizens who saved the house from demolition. The home is now taken care of by The James Shaver Woodsworth Homestead Foundation.\nThe Applewood Shaver House is not just a museum. It hosts marriage ceremonies in an 1860s settings which adds an nostalgic feel to any wedding ceremony. Business meetings and receptions are also held here. In addition, many special events take place throughout the year such as the very popular outdoor Twilight Concerts In The Park, plant sales, Harvest Tea, Christmas craft sale, and Christmas caroling.\nEtobicoke Centre Boundaries\nConsisting of that part of the City of Toronto described as follows: commencing at the intersection of the westerly limit of said city with Highway No. 401; thence easterly along said highway to Highway No. 427; thence easterly along said highway and Eglinton Avenue West to Martin Grove Road; thence northerly along said road to Dixon Road; thence easterly along said road and its easterly production to the Humber River; thence enerally southeasterly along said river to Dundas Street West; thence southwesterly along said street to the Canadian Pacific Railway; thence southerly along said railway to Mimico Creek; thence generally northwesterly along said creek to Kipling Avenue; thence southerly along said avenue to Bloor Street West; thence westerly along said street to Highway No. 427; thence southerly along said highway to Dundas Street West; thence westerly along said street to the westerly limit of said city; thence generally northwesterly along said limit to the point of commencement.",

Stiviano, and demanding she answer the real questions on everyone\u2019s minds.\nOne of those questions being whether or not the lavish gifts such as a Range Rover, Ferrari, two Bentleys, and a home, were given to her by Sterling in exchange for sexual favors. While that seems suspicious to some people, she said it\u2019s only because those people don\u2019t get her lifestyle.\n\u201cDo you understand that's middle America, it\u2019s the mass, who doesn't live in Los Angeles,\u201d V said. \u201cDo you understand that most people don't get the opportunity to meet with a billionaire? Most people don't get the chance to work for a billionaire, let alone be around him on a daily basis.\u201d\nIt didn\u2019t stop there. ET continued to delve deeper with V in order to uncover the truth about whether or not she did have an affair with Sterling. But she didn\u2019t budge, going over the edge when asked if she\u2019d ever had relations with the Clippers owner.\n\u201cWhy do you continue when I just said no to you,\u201d she said. \u201cHow many times are you going to ask me this stupid question? Now do you understand my frustration, no, no, no no no.\u201d\nWhile Sterling has come out and said they had sex, V thinks it\u2019s just a ploy and that he\u2019s more of a father figure to her.\n\u201cI don't know who's advising him; I don't know who his team is; I don't know his objective; I don't know what it is -- a PR move? I don't understand it,\u201d she said. \u201cHe, in my opinion, would've never done anything to hurt me. He cared about me like a father would care for his child.\u201d\nCheck out this video to see more of ET\u2019s explosive interview with V. Stiviano.",

        "raw_content": "Henjin_Quilones created a topic in Guilds of Historica\nPrelude: The Queen's Council\nThe Queen's Council A prelude to Challenge II High Queen Ylspeth sits on the throne of her father in Cedrica, the unlikely victor in the war against the forces of Lord Raavage. The combined might of the battered guilds was enough to secure her rule, but now the young and inexperienced monarch must find a way to keep the guilds united in relative peace. She has assembled a council to help her in her duties, to advise in difficult matters, and to guide her through the complexities of politics. Each of the four guilds has two representatives on the council; they are second sons, old uncles, pensioned war heroes, and strong-willed daughters passed over in the inheritance in favor of younger sons, chosen by guild leadership to represent their interests and secure the future prosperity of each realm. Also on the council are a few ministers, of war, of finance, and of state, drawn from ancient political houses of Cedrica itself or else having arrived with Ylspeth when she came to seek the throne. Today, HIgh Queen Ylspeth and her council have convened to discuss the rumors of discontent that are circling throughout the lands... Ylspeth surveyed the room, meeting the eyes of the members of her council cordially. Some of them she enjoyed tremendously, and some, well, not so tremendously. They all meant well and were devoted to serving the realm. She took a deep breath, uneasy with the topic she knew they must discuss, ever since the reports began coming back that her people were not completely happy with their new ruler. Where to begin? \"My lords and ladies,\" she began, \"I called today's council session to discuss the negative reports that we have been hearing. Why are the people upset with the crown?\" Amar was the first to speak up; she was a decorated soldier from Kaliphlin, the veteran of many battles in the civil wars despite her relative youth, and the third daughter of one of the more powerful lords from the High Council in the south; rather than marry her off to some man against her will, her father had petitioned to have her sent as a representative to Cedrica. Her advice was always action-based and typically fiery. \"Your Majesty, if I may be so bold, perhaps it is because they are feeling oppressed by the Desert King's tyranny, who is no subject of yours, I might add, and military action to relieve them of his cruel rod would bestir them to think kindly of you.\" Khufu of Sultan's Gate, beside her and the other representative of Kaliphlin, glared at Amar; he was the Desert King's personal appointment to the council, and thus he was always quick to contradict anything said by his guildmate. \"His Divine Majesty is not a tyrant, and does not rule under a cruel rod. Perhaps the people of Kaliphlin need to be liberated from the lies of the High Council's treasonous supporters, and an army should be sent to crush their last remaining strongholds!\" \"No one is sending an army anywhere!\" interrupted Faluiel, an elf princess from the Enchanted Forest of Avalonia. \"After the civil wars, the last thing the people want is another army being raised from their menfolk and sent off to die on some foreign plain. What they long for is something to mend the wounds done already and build the land up again. The elves have been doing as much work as they can to renew the deep magics, but these things will take time to come back to a semblance of the balance they had before Revolword and Raavage upended them.\" \"My people need food, not magic,\" growled Thurl, an old dwarf from Mitgardia, the uncle of one of the kings of one of the mountain clans in the north. \"The tundra came down farther than ever when the Algus attacked, and our fields have not thawed properly yet for growing; the reserves of many Mitgardian keeps are dangerously low, and there is little hope of filling them from this season's harvest.\" Faluiel nodded. \"But restoring the deep magics' balance would push the tundra back and restore your croplands, and thus give you more food next year.\" \"But the North is hungry now!\" yelled Thurl. \"I hear every day about families leaving their farms, gaunt with hunger, desperate for a crust of bread from their local jarl or thain.\" Eckbert, a grey and balding old general from Avalonia, cleared his throat. \"If I may interrupt, my good Dwarf,\" he said, his old voice still strong and always polite, \"the eastern plains of Avalonia have reported a bumper crop of grain this year, more than they have room to store, even. I know many of the lords there, such as my old messmate de Gothia of Sionnach, have been selling it to Varlyrio at a hefty profit, but surely with they would be willing to sell to their northern neighbors, for slightly less, even, due to reduced shipping costs; though the extra coin from the Varlyrian market has been much needed to repair the ruined cities and pay the pensions of soldiers and their widows.\" Cortucius Amancio, one of the Varlyrian councilors, agreed. \"That grain has been cutting into the profits of our own farmers on Varlyrio. I know much of the discontent on my island guild is about how Her Majesty has opened up trade, threatening many of the leading families' lucrative monopolies. They would certainly be amenable to those goods being diverted elsewhere. And anything else from the mainland, too.\" Ylspeth nodded to each of her councilors' thoughts, mulling a way to try to meet each of their needs without upsetting the always precarious balance that was the Guilds of Historica. She could not seem to favor one over the others, lest the others be jealous and hurt. Surely there was a way to make everyone happy. While she was still pondering, N'ri, one of her closest advisors, second only to Kars, the commander of her bodyguard and Minister of Defense, stood up. N'ri was one of the warrior monks who had taken her in at their monastery on the far-western island, just a bit to the north of Mwamba, where she had taken refuge after the death of her father. He was wise in many ways, and his approach to matters was always fresh, not clouded with the self-seeking agendas that the rest of the councilors held. \"My fellow councilors, this is a difficult moment, and perhaps it will be impossible to make everyone happy;\" he paused and looked at the bickering Kaliphlinian representatives before going on, \"but I think we can do something. Back in my home, long before I left for a new life at a monastery, the king used to throw public games, free to all comers, whenever discontent and unrest fell upon his people. He also made liberal use of handouts of food, particularly that lifeblood of civilization, bread. His philosophy, it seemed, was to fill the belly and soothe the soul with those two tools. My advice is that we use the funds of the crown to purchase the surplus grain from the Avalonians at a fair price -- perhaps not what they could get at open market, but we would not swindle them -- and then distribute that grain to the hungry in Mitgardia and Kaliphlin, especially our northern brethren. If we need more, perhaps the farmers of Varlyrio could supply a bit extra, too. At the same time, we should encourage, perhaps with a promise of lower taxes for those who agree, the wealthier nobles of the different realms to put on spectacles for the enjoyment of their peoples, in the name of our High Queen. Every lord knows what his people would enjoy most, and so he could provide that, encouraging the common citizens to be grateful for such beneficence from Cedrica.\" Ylspeth thought the advice sounded good, though she was concerned about the price and the state of the treasury. A murmur of displeasure swept the room, though, which surprised her. She walked around a bit trying to hear snippets of conversation as her councilors talked amongst themselves. Thurl was upset, grumbling about how the Mitgardians were being given charity, treated like the destitute, while the tights-wearers were only getting richer. Eckbert was certain that the Avalonian lords would in fact be swindled on the grain price, for bearded women, no less, in addition to balking at being expected to pay for lavish entertainments from their own pockets. Amar and Khufu were still arguing about the best way to fix Kaliphlin, though both were certain that their nobles would refuse any handouts from the tree-huggers at a minimum. Cortucius was silent, looking over the whole affair with smug superiority. Finally, Thurl pounded on the table and said, \"This is a terrible plan!\" N'ri held out a hand to pacify the old dwarf. \"May your beard grow ever longer, my good Dwarf,\" he said in a conciliatory tone, \"but I think it is important to think of matters beyond just the pride and pockets of the nobles. They are very few, but the common people are many; if there is no bread in the bellies of the peasants, how much longer with the lord sit on his throne? Will not the people revolt? Or whom will he rule if they all die of hunger, being good and obedient subjects? Yes, everyone will need to sacrifice a bit to make it work, but is it not worthwhile to secure the happiness and contentment of the people as a whole? This is about the poor child starving in the street, the veteran whose life is nothing but a hollow shell; what is a pile of gold in a locked room compared to those? Let's bring them bread and circuses, to improve their lives!\" High Queen Ylspeth nodded in agreement with N'ri. She stood next to Thurl and said to the whole council, \"This is what I decree: grain shall be purchased from the Avalonians to be distributed to the hungry in the north and south, as needed. My own treasury will handle that expense. Nobles of the different realms shall also, to the extent that they are able, contribute to the morale of the commoners by hosting some sort of grand entertainment. Those who do shall see a reduction of their tax burdens of ten per cent, and those who do not will see their tax burden rise by five per cent. Each guild shall provide a list of those lords and ladies who have put on a spectacle, enumerating the type and price, in order to qualify for the tax easement. Any further details will be worked out by the Treasury Minister and his aides. Am I understood?\" \"Yes, Your Majesty,\" came the words from each mouth, though not all of the faces showed agreement. Such is the life of a monarch, thought Ylspeth as she swept out of the room. _____________________________________ ...........................................................................",

She developed and participated in numerous international train-the-trainer courses for multidisciplinary medical providers, which are provided at no cost. The second edition of the Advanced Disaster Medical Response Manual for Providers was recently developed and edited by Dr. Briggs with the MGH department of surgery and the Harvard Program in Global Surgery; at present, it is being translated into multiple languages. The first edition was translated into eight languages, including Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, and Spanish.\nIn collaboration with the American Refugee Committee and as a founding member of the Durant Fellowship for Refugee Medicine, Dr. Briggs served as a mentor to many of the recipients, both at MGH and in refugee camps throughout the world. Her involvement with Project Hope and the U.S. government included organizing and leading volunteer disaster medical teams to respond to many international emergencies, including earthquake disasters in El Salvador, Armenia, Iran, China, and Haiti, as well as a train disaster in Ufa, Russia. Dr. Briggs also worked with not-for-profit organizations to develop programs addressing gender-based violence, income generation, and austere medical care in low- and middle-income countries.\nDr. Briggs worked as a consultant in trauma and disaster medicine following humanitarian disasters, helping to develop sustainable programs in trauma care and rehabilitation medicine in conjunction with not-for-profit and international medical organizations. These programs provide in-country training of personnel, provision of medical equipment, and collaborative exchange programs. Dr. Briggs is an associate professor of surgery and affiliate faculty in global surgery, Harvard Medical School, Boston.\nSee more photos on the Bulletin website.",

Cole\nExcel Medical Products, Inc.\n3145 Copper Avenue\nDear Mr. Cole:\nDuring an inspection of your firm located in Fenton, Michigan on November 19, 2012 through December 21, 2012, an investigator from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that your firm is a manufacturer of Class II Hemostatic Y-connectors. Under section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 321(h), these products are devices because they are intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or to affect the structure or any function of the body.\nThis inspection revealed that these devices are adulterated within the meaning of section 501(h) of the Act 21, U.S.C. \u00a7 351(h), in that the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for, their manufacture, packing, storage, or installation are not in conformity with the current good manufacturing practice requirements of the Quality System regulation found at Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 820. We received your response dated January 14, 2013 concerning our investigator\u2019s observations noted on the Form FDA 483 (FDA 483), List of Inspectional Observations, that was issued to your firm. We address this response below, in relation to each of the noted violations. These violations include, but are not limited to, the following:\n1. Failure to adequately ensure that when the results of a process cannot be fully verified by subsequent inspection and test, that the process shall be validated with a high degree of assurance and approved according to established procedures, as required by 21 CFR 820.75(a). For example,\nThe injection molding process for clear 6 Fr. cap and rotator components using the (b)(4) injection molder has not been validated. The Performance Qualification Plans and Reports were not available for the (b)(4).\nThe injection molding process for the 6 Fr. (purple), 8 Fr. (clear), and 7, 9, and 10 Fr. (both clear and purple) Y-body components have not been validated. As specified by the routers, the injection molding parameter setting used in production of Y-body components vary by component size and color.\nThe injection molding process for clear 6 Fr. Y-body components has not been validated for all of the operating parameters used during production.\nThe adequacy of your firm\u2019s response cannot be determined at this time. You have indicated an updated validation will be performed for all Y-body components, and will include all sizes and material color variations sold by Excel Medical. These are planned actions that we cannot evaluate at this time.\n2. Failure to establish and maintain a design history file (DHF) for each type of device, which, shall contain or reference the records necessary to demonstrate that the design was developed in accordance with the approved design plan, as required by 21 CFR 820.30(j). For example, design history files have not been established for sizes 4.5, 7, and 10 Fr. Hemostatic Y-connector devices.\nThe adequacy of your firm\u2019s response cannot be determined at this time. You indicate an updated process validation will be performed for all Y-body components and a component qualification. At the completion of the qualification, you will compile design files that represent current design, and include a compilation of the results of the validation, the validation report, and any additional supporting documentation. These are planned actions that we cannot evaluate at this time.\n3. Failure to establish and maintain procedures to control product that does not conform to specified requirements, as required by 21 CFR 820.90(a). For example, procedures addressing the documentation and evaluation of nonconforming product resulting from the production set-up have not been established.\nThe adequacy of your firm\u2019s response cannot be determined at this time. You plan on creating a new setup procedure for each of the Y-body component tools; modifying your reject data collection sheet to document the nonconforming product resulting from production set-up; and a process deviation form will be created. These are planned actions that we cannot evaluate at this time.\n4. Failure to establish and maintain adequate procedures for receiving, reviewing, and evaluating complaints, as required by 21 CFR 820.198(a). For example, complaints received have not been evaluated for Medical Device Reporting. The procedures, PC-109: Product Incident Reporting, (Revision F, effective 7/28/2011; Revision E, effective 7/22/2003) state that the Product Incident Form (FM-103; Product Incident/MDR Determination Form) will be used for documenting each incident. Of the 12 complaints documented by your firm since 1/2010, seven lacked an associated form, FM-103, as documented evidence that these complaints were evaluated for MDR reportability. This form is the only means of evaluating complaints for MDR reportability.\nThe adequacy of your firm\u2019s response cannot be determined at this time. You are in the process of creating, and implementing a complaint handling system that operates independently of the CAPA system. These are planned actions that are still in the process of being implemented and we cannot evaluate at this time.\n5. Failure to adequately evaluate and select potential suppliers, contractors, and consultants, on the basis of their ability to meet specified requirements, including quality requirements and failure to document this evaluation as required by 21 CFR 820.50(a)(1). For example, your supplier of tooling pins has not been evaluated and selected based on their ability to meet specified requirements. A form FM-368, (Supplier Assessment), has not been completed for this supplier; and the supplier does not appear on the current Approved Supplier List.\nThe adequacy of your firm\u2019s response cannot be determined at this time. You plan on performing a formal, documented assessment of your supplier of tooling pins in accordance with Excel\u2019s purchasing controls. This is a planned action that we cannot evaluate at this time.\nThe Hemostatic Y-connector device is also adulterated under section 501(f)(1)(B) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 351(f)(1)(B), because your firm does not have an approved application for premarket approval (PMA) in effect pursuant to section 515(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 360e(a), or an approved application for an investigational device exemption under section 520(g) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 360j(g). The device is also misbranded under section 502(o) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 352(o), because your firm did not notify the agency of its intent to introduce the device into commercial distribution, as required by section 510(k) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 360(k). For a device requiring premarket approval, the notification required by section 510(k) is deemed satisfied when a PMA is pending before the agency as defined by 21 CFR 807.81(b). The kind of information that your firm needs to submit in order to obtain approval or clearance for the device is described on the Internet at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/HowtoMarketYourDevice/default.htm. The FDA will evaluate the information that your firm submits and decide whether the product may be legally marketed.\nOur inspection revealed there have been substantial changes to the Hemostatic Y-connector including, but not limited to, material, design, and size changes since the K884327 was cleared. The original 510(k) description reads as \u201cDisposable Y-Connector with adjustable valve, inside diameter of the smallest portion of the valve is 0.075 in. (5.8F.).\u201d Hemostatic Y-Connector devices have been distributed in 2005, 2009, and 2011 in sizes 10 Fr., 7 Fr., and 4.5 Fr., respectively.",

        "raw_content": "Valley Health/Winchester Medical Center IRB 5/9/13\nMark H. Merrill\nDear Mr. Merrill:\nThis Warning Letter is to inform you of objectionable conditions observed during the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection of your Institutional Review Board (IRB) from January 29, 2013, to February 1, 2013, by an investigator from the FDA Baltimore District Office. This inspection was conducted to determine whether your IRB is in compliance with applicable federal regulations. IRBs that review investigations of devices must comply with applicable provisions of Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 56 - Institutional Review Boards, Part 50 - Protection of Human Subjects, and Part 812 - Investigational Device Exemptions. This letter also requests prompt corrective action to address the violations cited and discusses your IRB\u2019s written response dated February 11, 2013, to the noted violations.\nThe inspection was conducted under a program designed to ensure that data and information contained in requests for investigational device exemptions (IDE), premarket approval applications, and premarket notification submissions are scientifically valid and accurate. Another objective of the program is to ensure that human subjects are protected from undue hazard or risk during the course of scientific investigations.\nOur review of the inspection report prepared by the district office revealed serious repeated violations of 21 CFR Part 56 - Institutional Review Boards, which concerns requirements prescribed under section 520(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. \u00a7 360j(g). At the close of the inspection, the FDA investigator presented a Form FDA 483, Inspectional Observations, for your review and discussed the observations listed on the form with you. The deviations noted on the Form FDA 483, the IRB\u2019s written response,and our subsequent review of the inspection report, are discussed below:\nFailure to follow FDA regulations regarding the expedited review procedures. [21 CFR 56.110(b)(2)]\nThe FDA regulations for IRBs require that, under an expedited review procedure, the review may be carried out by the IRB chairperson or by one or more experienced IRB members designated by the IRB chairperson. The regulations state that the IRB may use the expedited review procedure to review either or both of the following: (1) some or all of the research appearing on the Federal Register list of categories of research that may be reviewed by the IRB through an expedited review procedure and found by the reviewers to involve no more than minimal risk; and (2) minor changes to previously-approved research.\nYour IRB is in violation of this regulation, which does not extend to significant risk device studies currently under an IDE. These studies did not meet the criteria of minimal risk and the changes in the protocol were not minor. Therefore, they were not eligible for expedited review according to the Federal Register list of research categories that may be reviewed by the IRB through an expedited review procedure. Examples of deficiencies include, but are not limited to, the following:\nFor the study entitled (b)(4) your IRB approved the protocol amendments #6 and #7 and revised the informed consent under expedited review. The changes included the (b)(4) to the list of potential adverse events to study subjects. (b)(4) are serious medical conditions that could affect the risk to study subjects and represent a major change in the research and should not be reviewed using the expedited review procedure. Furthermore, your IRB allowed Ms. Deborah Moore, IRB Manager, to approve the protocol amendment involving the (b)(4) as an adverse event under expedited review. Ms. Moore does not possess the experience and background to perform this critical task. Major changes in research should be reviewed by a full IRB board whose members have the necessary diversity and expertise to evaluate these changes. This is critically important for a complete and adequate review of research and to ensure the protection of human research subjects.\nFor the study entitled (b)(4), your IRB approved the protocol and informed consent amendments II and III under expedited review that allowed the (b)(4) and the (b)(4) in the study. These amendments, especially the use of additional devices, represent major changes in the research. Your use of the expedited review procedure was not appropriate because it precluded your IRB from conducting a thorough review of these changes to identify any additional risks to subjects. This is a critical step in ensuring that appropriate human subject protection measures are in place to help mitigate those risks.\nYour IRB\u2019s non-compliance is a repeat violation. A 2008 FDA inspection revealed instances where your IRB inappropriately reviewed research that was not minor in nature under expedited review. On March 17, 2009, FDA forwarded your IRB the publication, \u201cClinical Investigations Which May Be Reviewed Through Expedited Review Procedure,\u201d which describes the different categories of research that may be reviewed under expedited review. Your IRB included information from this document in its standard operating procedures (SOPs) entitled, \u201cValley Health/Winchester Medical Center IRB Policies and Procedures\u201d revised June 11, 2012, and dated February 8, 2013. Therefore, your IRB should have been aware of the categories of research that are eligible for expedited review.\nYour IRB\u2019s response states that Dr. Sears determined that some of these protocol changes would not affect the safety of study participants and therefore did not require a full board review. This response is inadequate and does not provide the assurance that your IRB fully understands which research changes are appropriate for expedited review and which are required to be evaluated by a full board.\nYour IRB\u2019s response also included revised procedures that we deem inadequate. The SOP states that any initial protocol submissions or amendments that are related to \u201cpatient care,\u201d other than \u201cadministrative changes,\u201d will be forwarded to the IRB Chair to determine if the changes qualify for expedited review. This SOP is inadequate in that there is no assurance that major changes in research will not be misinterpreted as \u201cadministrative\u201d or minor in nature. Your IRB\u2019s SOPs are not specific enough to consider the impact and risk that such changes may have on study subjects and informed consent documents. Please revise your IRB\u2019s SOPs and forward a copy of this revision, along with training records, a list of staff trained, and dates of implementation.\nFailure to follow written procedures for conducting an initial and continuing review of research. [21 CFR 56.108(a)(1)]\nAn IRB shall follow written procedures for conducting its initial and continuing review of research and for reporting its findings and actions to the investigator and the institution.\nYour IRB failed to follow its SOPs for conducting expedited reviews as part of its initial review of research. Specifically, the June 11, 2012, version of the SOPs states, \u201cA list of documents submitted to the VH/WMC IRB for expedited review will be disseminated at each IRB meeting for review and acknowledgement by Board members. This review and acknowledgement will be documented in the IRB meeting minutes.\u201d As a result of failing to follow these SOPs, the full board was not informed of the following changes approved under expedited review: 1) the informed consent for the NEST-3 Trial was amended to include hemorrhagic transformation stroke; 2) a second treatment arm was added to the Mobility 08-107 trial; and3) subjects were notified of protocol changes to include additional study procedures and medical chart reviews.\nIt is essential that the full IRB is aware of research reviewed under expedited review procedures. This ensures that the IRB\u2019s review of research is conducted completely and adequately with the benefit of the full board members\u2019 diverse expertise. Not adhering to the above regulation could expose study subjects to significant risk of harm and potentially compromise the scientific integrity and reliability of research data submitted to FDA in support of marketing applications.\nYour IRB\u2019s response is inadequate since it does not provide assurance that the IRB understands that all research reviewed under expedited review must be reported back to the full IRB board. The revised SOPs do not contain sufficient instructions on steps to take to ensure expedited reviews are appropriately communicated back to the full board. Also, the response mentioned the use of an \u201cAmendment Form\u201d to facilitate this process; however, this form is not mentioned in the revised procedure. Please revise your IRB\u2019s SOPs and forward a copy of this revision, along with training records, a list of staff trained, and dates of implementation.\nThe violations described above are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of problems that may exist at the IRB. The IRB is responsible for ensuring compliance with the Act and applicable regulations.\nWithin 15 working days of receiving this letter, please provide documentation of the additionalactions that your IRB has taken or will take to correct these violations and prevent the recurrence of similar violations, and a plan to monitor the effectiveness of your IRB\u2019s corrective actions. Failure to respond to this letter and take appropriate corrective action could result in the FDA taking regulatory action without further notice to your IRB.\nA copy of this letter has been sent to FDA\u2019s Baltimore District Office, 6000 Metro Drive, Suite 101, Baltimore, MD 21215. Please send a copy of your response to that office.\nMs. Jennifer Stanford, Director of Clinical Research\nRichard Sears, MD, IRB Chairman\nValley Health/Winchester Medical Center IRB\nDirector, Division of Compliance Oversight\nOffice of Human Research Protections\nValley Health/Winchester Medical Center IRB - Close Out Letter 7/24/15",

The ideological battle over which idea of human rights will prevail in the future resulted in 33 votes in favor, 3 against and 11 abstentions. Among the states voting against the Declaration were Australia, Hungary, and the United Kingdom. Most of the abstentions came from European Countries, including Germany, Spain, Slovenia, Slovakia and Croatia, whilst, Asian, African and Latin American states, with the exception of Brazil, supported the Declaration with a favorable vote.\nArguments to abstain and refrain\nOn the floor, the European Union and Germany showed their concern over the recognition of the right to seeds, land, biodiversity, as well as to food sovereignty, yet unrecognized by international human rights law. The EU stated that there is no room for the creation of \u201cnew rights\u201d in the Declaration, despite these representing the interests and needs of more than 2 billion of people worldwide.\nAfter more than 5 years of negotiations about the text, some states have remained reluctant to recognize the need for a Declaration to ensure the protection, respect and access of the rural world to natural resources. Times of dispossession, poverty, rising hunger figures, increasing inequality worldwide and of serious environmental and climate destruction, necessarily requires that states protect the rights of local communities to land, water, forests, fisheries and pastures.\nNow the Declaration is ready to make its way to the UN headquarters in New York where it will need to go through the United Nations General Assembly Third Committee in October, before going to the General Assembly for a final vote in December.\n\u201cThe adoption of this UN Declaration is a turning point for the international human rights system. At a time where the UN risks its legitimacy by a biased promotion of corporate interests, this declaration shows that it is possible to revitalize the original mandate of the UN\u201d, says Sofia Monsalve Su\u00e1rez, secretary general of FIAN International.\nThe next step for citizens worldwide is to pressure their governments and for states to finally vote for its ultimate adoption.\n11/20/2018 UN Peasants\u2019 Declaration about to cross the finishing line",

        "raw_content": "by Olga Azhgibetseva, ISET\nLaw Can\u2019t Buy Me Love\u2026 To The National Currency\nThe FINANCIAL -- Law on offers and advertisement of real estate in Georgia.\nBeginning in July 2017, if an entrepreneur offers and/or advertises a property and/or service for sale in the territory of Georgia, the price of the property/service shall be expressed solely in GEL. According to the bill, failure to abide by the new law when denominating the price will lead to a warning, while a repeated offense will lead to a penalty of 1000 GEL. Each subsequent offense will be subject to a penalty of 5000 GEL.\nThis law is one of a few changes which will take place in support of a de-dollarization plan implemented by the Georgian government. Currently, around 68% of all loans issued by commercial banks are in USD; this figure is even higher for mortgage loans at 82%. Despite a declining trend, dollarization rate in Georgia still remains very high.\nThe main reason for high dollarization stems from the low level of long-term GEL resources available at commercial banks or other financial institutions, in comparison with resources in foreign currencies, particularly dollars. This leads to higher interest rate on GEL loans, and much lower interest rates on USD loans. In other words, it is much cheaper for people to take loans in dollars rather than in the local currency, if currency risk is not taken into account.\nThe availability of GEL resources in banks can be increased through the increase of savings in local currency, and in this regard, people\u2019s trust in the local currency plays an important role. People prefer to save in dollars, as they observe the very high instability of the GEL/USD exchange rate, and the high chance of GEL losing its value.\nIntroduction of new laws. With the goal of strengthening and stabilizing the national currency, the Georgian government has adopted a de-dollarization plan. The plan includes implementation of some amendments in legislation to protect borrowers against foreign exchange risk. In particular, small loans (below GEL 100,000) will be issued only in local currency. The government, with the help of the National Bank of Georgia, will develop a scheme to facilitate conversion (to the local currency) of those loans that were issued before January 1, 2015 in USD. In addition, starting in July 2017, if an entrepreneur offers and/or advertises a property and/or service for sale in the territory of Georgia, the price of the property/service shall be expressed in GEL.\nWhile the first two measures will automatically decrease number of loans taken in USD, the effect of the latter law on de-dollarization is uncertain.\nCurrently, almost 99% of advertisements for real estate property sale are quoted in USD (calculated based on place.ge website data). People accept USD as the main currency to make savings and pay when buying real estate. Thus, the government believes that pricing in GEL should \u201cteach\u201d people to price and buy real estate in GEL, and therefore willingness to save money and take loans in the local currency should increase as a result.\nThe law will be efficient and bring positive results only if people can totally move away from pricing in USD on paper and in their minds. But how realistic it that goal?\nTo speculate on the results of this policy, we first have to differentiate primary and secondary real estate markets, as they have different approaches when pricing property. Prices in the primary market are set based on construction cost. According to different sources, from 30% to 70% of construction cost is for imported goods, which are automatically calculated in USD. This figure varies for different construction projects, depending on quality, design, and other factors. The rest of the cost is in local currency; however, as the majority of pricing happens in USD, the whole cost is calculated in USD. If construction companies have to price property in GEL, they will need to find the optimal way to convert the so-called \u201cimported\u201d cost from USD to GEL, to avoid loss if GEL depreciates during the project implementation and selling process. The secondary market does not depend on \u201cimported\u201d cost, and pricing in USD is related solely to people\u2019s distrust in local currency as a store of wealth.\nPushing sellers to quote property prices in GEL if they still \u201cthink\u201d in USD might actually lead to an increase in real estate prices. It depends on the so-called \u201cmenu cost,\u201d that is, the cost of modifying advertisements. If menu cost is high, to hedge against the risk of the GEL losing value against USD, sellers will tend to set higher prices than the actual price, which is based on the current GEL/USD exchange rate.\nFor both the primary and secondary markets, stability of the GEL/USD exchange rate will lead to a smoother shift from pricing in USD to GEL. Stability will be also important for people who plan to buy property. Currently, sales prices in USD are more predictable than in GEL. USD prices change under market forces, while prices in GEL also depends on the exchange rate (see the graph below). If prices in GEL are to become stable, people will start saving in local currency for their property purchases, which in turn will have positive impact on de-dollarization.\nChoosing right timing for this law could be key to its success. Neighboring countries, such as Russia and Azerbaijan, have already implemented these policies. However, the economic situation when this change happened was much more favorable. Russia introduced this law in 2007, when Russia was expanding at a rapid rate, with the Russian currency (RUB) gaining its value in comparison with USD, while the RUB/USD exchange rate was fixed and therefore quite stable. The strong local currency helped make it much easier for sellers to start pricing in RUB; nonetheless, symptoms such as price increases and volatility in RUB were observed as well, in the short run, right after the change. Similarly, in Azerbaijan, at that moment the exchange rate was also fixed, and the economy was growing, resulting in high trust in the MANAT, and the switch also happened very naturally.\nThe very unstable GEL/USD exchange rate and almost constant month-to-month depreciation of GEL against USD will not work in favor of the new law. Even if theoretically this law could bring positive results as a part of the de-dollarization plan, it\u2019s doubtful that it will be very successful upon implementation. Hopefully, the de-dollarization plan as a whole will have a greater impact not only on the number of loans taken in foreign currency, but on increasing the stability and strength of the national currency.\nPrevious Article Experto Indulges Tea-lovers By Revealing Key Insights About The Georgian Market\nNext Article Kutaisi Leading Again",

        "raw_content": "Cannibalism, rape and death - trauma as South Sudan turns five | Reuters\nNAIROBI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Mass killings, rape, torture, abductions and forced cannibalism have led to an increase in mental illness in South Sudan, with patients routinely housed in prisons due to an \"almost total\" absence of mental health care, a rights group said on Wednesday.\nThere are only two practising psychiatrists for South Sudan's 11 million people, Amnesty International said in a report ahead of the country's fifth anniversary of independence on July 9.\n\"My mind is not good,\" the report quoted one man, Phillip, as saying as he described being forced to eat the flesh of dead men rounded up and shot in a security forces building in the capital, Juba, when conflict broke out in December 2013.\n\"They found me, tied my arms behind my back and forced me at gunpoint to drink blood and eat flesh ... At night when I sleep, those who were killed come back in my nightmares.\"\nMore than 10,000 people have been killed and two million displaced since fighting erupted between forces loyal to President Salva Kiir and his former deputy Riek Machar.\nClashes have continued even though warring factions signed a peace deal in August, with 200,000 people still sheltering in United Nations military bases across the country.\nThere are no official statistics on mental health in the country. But the director of the department of mental health told Amnesty that the number of patients with mental health problems has risen since 2013.\nMost of the 82 inmates categorised as mentally ill in Juba Central Prison in May did not have a criminal file, the report said.\nThe majority of displaced people surveyed in a U.N. base in the northern town of Malakal exhibited symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a 2015 study found.\nPTSD is a severely debilitating condition in which patients re-experience horrific traumas from the past in forms of intrusive memories, flashbacks and nightmares.\n\"I HATE MYSELF\"\nLual, another man quoted in the report, said he felt suicidal after security officers forced him to disembowel corpses in detention in Juba in 2014.\n\"Whenever they would kill people, we would be taken to dissect the stomachs of those who were killed, so they could be thrown into the river and wouldn't float,\" he was quoted as saying.\n\"I dream that I am still in jail. I am haunted by the cutting of the stomachs ... I hate myself.\"\nOf the 161 displaced people interviewed by Amnesty, several knew of others who had attempted or committed suicide.\nOne mother in a displaced camp, Nyayang, whose soldier husband had disappeared, used to beat her children and tried to kill herself three times by drinking poison, the report said.\nShe eventually disappeared, leaving her children behind.\nPoor mental health can contribute to violent behaviour in the home, community and nationally, experts say.\nMany interviewees said they could not eat or sleep and felt angry, anxious or irritable. They also struggled to concentrate or remember things, making it difficult to carry out every day tasks like cooking.\n\"Doing more to address mental health needs is not only essential for individuals' wellbeing, it is also critical for South Sudanese to effectively rebuild their communities and country,\" Muthoni Wanyeki, Amnesty International's regional director, said in a statement.\nHealthcare services in South Sudan have been predominantly funded by charities since independence in 2011.\nHumanitarians have received just over one quarter of the $1.29 billion requested for 2016, the United Nations says.\nHunger is at its highest level since the conflict began, with up to 4.8 million people facing severe food shortages in coming months, the U.N. says.\nMany people have been uprooted by fighting multiple times, most recently in the northwestern town of Wau on June 24, when tens of thousands were forced to flee and 43 killed.\n(Reporting by Katy Migiro; Editing by Katie Nguyen.; Please credit the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the charitable arm of Thomson Reuters, that covers humanitarian news, women\u2019s rights, trafficking, property rights and climate change.

The State Council said early last year that it had approved the tie-ups between the state-controlled carriers, but additional formalities were needed.\nUnder the exercise, which will also see the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) giving up ownership of the airlines, Air China will merge with China Southwest Airlines and China National Aviation Corp; China Eastern will take over China Northwest Airlines and Yunnan Airlines; and China Southern Airlines will take over China Northern Airlines and Xinjiang Airlines.\nThe formal plan also includes China Eastern's acquisition of Great Wall Airlines, although this has already taken place. Alongside the state-directed consolidation plan involving the 10 airlines, takeovers of smaller carriers controlled by provincial governments or other government bodies are also taking place, such as China Southern's recent China Postal Airlines buy-in and China Eastern's purchase of a major stake in Wuhan Airlines.\nThe airlines have been working on the consolidation plans for more than two years, since the CAAC said the 10 carriers would be merged into the three mammoth groups to reduce unnecessary competition that had badly hurt the local industry, and to help them better compete with foreign carriers.\nThe process is expected to take another year or so to complete, after the parent companies of the three major carriers have injected assets of their new acquisitions into Air China, China Eastern and China Southern. After that the names of the smaller airlines are due to disappear.\nHong Kong-listed China Eastern expects to take over China Northwest and Yunnan by the end of 2003 further to its majority shareholder Eastern Air Group taking control of the two carriers on 11 October. EA Group has since changed its name to CEA Holding, and China Eastern says it is working with its parent on how to implement the takeover of the smaller airlines' assets.\nChina Southern, which is also listed in Hong Kong, says ownership and assets of China Northern and Xinjiang are being transferred to its parent company, SA Group, which is changing its name to China Southern Air Holding Co. However, assets of the airlines are expected to be transferred into China Southern by the end of next year.",

        "raw_content": "Four Stages of Drug Addiction: Recognizing the Signs\nWhat are the progressive stages of drug addiction, especially as it plays out in the life of a teenager? My oldest son has been exhibiting some strange behavior lately, and I'm worried that he may be getting involved with some form of drug abuse. Can you provide me with any helpful hints and clues?\nIn most cases a full-blown drug problem develops or unfolds in four distinct stages. Each stage represents a deeper and more serious level of danger; the farther the drug abuser moves along this path, the harder he will find it to turn back. This is why it's so important for concerned parents to stay alert. If you see signs of an addiction beginning to develop, you need to intervene as early as possible.\nThe first stage is experimentation or what we might call \"entering the drug gateway.\"\nDuring this phase drug use is occasional, sporadic, and often unplanned. It's something that just \"happens\" over the weekend, on long summer nights, or at someone's unsupervised party. It's usually precipitated by peer pressure, curiosity, thrill seeking, or desire to look and feel grown-up. Appropriately enough, these experiences usually involve the so-called \"gateway drugs\"-cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and possibly inhalants. Kids who are simply experimenting with drugs find it easier to achieve a drug \"high\" because tolerance has not been developed. If you're afraid that your kids may be involved in this kind of behavior, look for signs of intoxication and develop a keen nose for tobacco or alcohol on the breath. You'll probably see little if any change in normal behavior between episodes of drug use.\nDuring stage two drug abuse becomes more regular and habitual.\nAlcohol and other drugs are used not only on weekends but also on weekdays, and not only with friends but also when alone. In addition, the quantities of alcohol and drugs ingested may increase as tolerance develops. Fellow drinkers and drug users become preferred companions, and teens may stay out later at night, overnight, or all weekend. At this stage watch for signs of hangover; declining academic performance and unexplained absences; lack of interest in outside activities, such as sports; withdrawn, sullen, or hostile behavior; lies and deception; and the disappearance of money and other valuables. A teen who has progressed this far may also experience blackouts - periods during which drugs or alcohol impair the memory. \"What happened last night?\" becomes a frequent question, and the individual tends to spend more energy looking forward to the next experience.\nThe third stage is marked by the crossing of a very definite line.\nAt this point we can picture the drug abuser as standing waist deep in the mire of addiction and steadily sinking. He begins to live for alcohol and drugs-they are the primary focus of his attention. Becoming high is a daily event, and it can only be achieved by using harder, more dangerous, and more expensive drugs. As a result, the fledgling addict may become involved in serious theft and drug dealing. Watch for increasing social isolation; complete disassociation from non-drug-using friends; more solitary drug use; escalation of domestic conflicts; and loss of nearly all parental control. It is also highly possible that you will discover a stash of drugs at home. Your teen may even be arrested for possession, drug-dealing drugs, or driving under the influence.\nStage four is reached when we can say that the subject is drowning in addiction.\nHe lives his life in a state of constant intoxication. School and jobs go by the wayside. Blackouts become more frequent and the addict's health and physical appearance deteriorate. Guilt, self-hatred, and thoughts of suicide increase, and the adolescent abandons any apparent interest in spiritual matters. At this point he may start to use injectable drugs like heroin, become involved in casual sexual relationships (sometimes in exchange for drugs), and sink even deeper into theft and other criminal activities. If things get this bad, you will no longer have any control over your adolescent's behavior. He may become violent, and will almost certainly deny that he has a problem with drugs. Siblings will be negatively affected as the entire family becomes preoccupied with or overwhelmed by the consequences of the drug user's behavior. At this stage recovery is nearly impossible apart from treatment programs and professional intervention.\nIf you need more information about the dangers of drug abuse, please feel free to get in touch with our Counseling department for a free consultation.

        "raw_content": "Why I\u2019d avoid Indivior plc today after shares crash 35%\nPeter Stephens | Friday, 1st September, 2017 | More on: INDV\nIndivior (LSE: INDV) has seen over \u00a31bn wiped off its market capitalisation today following news concerning potential generic competition. The pharmaceutical company\u2019s share price has fallen by 35% as investors have reacted negatively to the outcome of a US court ruling.\nLooking ahead, more pain could arise out of the ruling and this may negatively impact the company\u2019s financial outlook. As such, it seems to be a stock to avoid at the present time.\nThe ruling by the District Court of Delaware concerns possible generic competition to the company\u2019s key product, Suboxone Film. It is used to treat opioid\u2026\nThe ruling by the District Court of Delaware concerns possible generic competition to the company\u2019s key product, Suboxone Film. It is used to treat opioid addiction and makes up the majority of the company\u2019s revenues. The court has decided that a generic competitor to the treatment, Indian-based Dr Reddy\u2019s, does not infringe on Indivior\u2019s patents.\nAs such, pending FDA approval, a competitor to Suboxone could be on the market in the near term. This would be very likely to slash sales of Suboxone Film and would lead to lower sales and profitability for the company in future. This could be as much as an 80% fall in sales according to the company.\nAs well as potentially causing sales of Suboxone Film to fall, the ruling also means that Indivior may find it more difficult to fight future battles regarding its patents. In the past, it has been successful in fighting off other generic competition, but the ruling could set a precedent which makes it easier for generic competitors to launch rival drugs.\nIndivior\u2019s financial guidance is now likely to change dramatically. Although it states in today\u2019s update that it intends to appeal the decision by the court, it had assumed there would be no generic competition to Suboxone when formulating its financial guidance. Therefore, the company\u2019s share price could yet fall further if forecasts are even lower than investors currently anticipate.\nCertainly, the company may have contingency plans in place should generic competition emerge. The reality though, is that if FDA approval is granted for Dr Reddy\u2019s rival drug then the company\u2019s sales are very likely to decline significantly.\nOf course, this is not the first time that there has been a surprise announcement regarding patent infringement. In the boom/bust pharmaceutical industry all major companies must face the reality of a loss of patents at some point in their lifetime. However, in the case of Indivior, Suboxone is its major drug by sales. It is therefore heavily reliant on it and lacks the diversity of other major pharmaceutical companies. For other companies, the loss of a patent would be hugely disappointing, but could be offset by other products. For Indivior, that may not be the case.\nTherefore, with investor sentiment declining rapidly and the company facing a highly uncertain future, now does not seem to be the right time to buy it. In time, there may be a buying opportunity. But right now, it appears to be a stock to avoid.\nWith the above in mind, there's another stock that could be a worthwhile buy right now. In fact it's been named as A Top Growth Share From The Motley Fool.\nThe company in question could make a real impact on your bottom line in 2017 and beyond. It could boost your returns and help you to beat the FTSE 100.\nPeter Stephens has no position in any of the companies mentioned. The Motley Fool UK has no position in any of the shares mentioned.

        "title": "We Need to Talk About the Costs of Cancer Treatment",
        "raw_content": "We Need to Talk About the Costs of Cancer Treatment\nRecently, investigators at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University reported on a new tool, COST, for measuring patients\u2019 concerns about the financial burden of cancer treatment. The acronym stands for \u201cCOmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity.\u201d\nTalking about money is not an easy thing for some doctors, including oncologists. Many hesitate to bring up the subject, either out of ignorance about pricing, time constraints, lack of concern, a simple or idealistic disdain for the topic\u2026 But the unfortunate reality is that as things stand in 2014, U.S. insurance plans vary in what treatments they cover. A cancer diagnosis can lead to financial hardship and even bankruptcy.\nJust think of the first season of Breaking Bad, when Mr. White\u2019s lung cancer diagnosis leads him to a life of crime. Nominally, and part-truly, the chemistry teacher\u2019s motivation to cook and sell methamphetamine comes from wanting to pay his medical bills without accepting charity from friends, and from wanting to leave money for his wife and kids, including a disabled son, so they might live well, or at least comfortably, after his death.\ninfusion pump (source: Wikipedia)\nThis sort of concern, about the financial toxicity of having cancer, is understandable. And it\u2019s unfortunately common. A recent poll by Harvard\u2019s School of Public Health, NPR and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation found that medical problems are a major contributor to stress among U.S. adults (which, in turn, leads to more health problems). It\u2019s a toxic cycle. Cancer, like any chronic illness, can cause financial distress. Even among insured patients, out-of-pocket expenses can limit patients\u2019 well-being, leisure activities, family plans and happiness. The problem is nothing for doctors to scoff at.\nI used to think that physicians shouldn\u2019t talk about money with their patients because that sort of conversation has the potential to demean the relationship. It can render doctors\u2019 work like an ordinary business transaction, which IMO medical care should never be. But I\u2019m persuaded that as long as we have a largely private, insurance-based health care system, we \u2013 doctors and patients \u2013 need to talk about how much cancer treatments might cost.\nAs things stand, adults should have the opportunity to weigh the potential costs of their care in the context of the limits of their insurance coverage, savings and other aspects of their lives, such as responsibilities for paying a mortgage or rent, their kids\u2019 college tuition, whatever it is they might otherwise choose to do what they\u2019ve got, which is finite.\nGetting back to the paper out of Chicago\u2026The gist of COST is that it\u2019s a Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) that might give doctors a better way to gauge patients\u2019 financial concerns and, with that, broach the subject. Which sounds good, terrific. Except that ultimately it\u2019s about money and not really about cancer care.\nI\u2019m skeptical, as I am about most checkbox-type measurements of humans\u2019 feelings and worries. And I wonder if the authors\u2019 goal is, partly \u2013 but with good intention, of course, and fairly enough, as most doctors need go about their work and earn a living \u2013 to secure funding to accomplish more research about COST, which would then be used to predict more cancer patients\u2019 financial stress and concerns in the future. And then we\u2019ll have an even greater cycle of subjective measurements, and researchers collecting data and publishing those findings, rather than just evaluating and providing better medical treatments to more people who have cancer and other conditions, carefully and thoughtfully.",

        "raw_content": "Punishing China no boon for U.S. manufacturing jobs\nBy Alan Wheatley, Global Economics Correspondent\nLONDON (Reuters) - For every Apple iPad sold in the United States, the U.S. trade deficit with China increases by about $275.\nYet by far the most value embedded in the device accrues to Apple and sustains thousands of well-paid design, software, management and marketing jobs in the United States.\nBy contrast, the value captured in China by the laborers who assemble Apple&apos;s products is a mere $10 or so, according to researchers led by Kenneth Kraemer of the University of California, Irvine, who crunched the data.\nViewed through this prism, offshore manufacturing of electronic products like the iPad is a solution, not a problem, for the United States, and seeking to punish China for its purportedly undervalued exchange rate is wide of the mark.\n\"Without China, Apple couldn&apos;t be so successful and Apple products wouldn&apos;t be so affordable,\" said Yao Shujie, professor of economics at the University of Nottingham in England.\nIn the case of the iPad, China is the final assembly point for components imported from a host of countries, including South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the European Union and the United States itself. There are no Chinese suppliers for the iPad.\n\"China is sitting in the middle: It&apos;s processing goods for rich countries,\" said Yao. As such, he argued, it would be more accurate to allocate most of China&apos;s bilateral \"iPad trade surplus\" to those supplier countries.\nKraemer agreed that trade data can mislead as much as inform.\nStatistical agencies are working on more accurate breakdowns of the origins of traded goods by value added, which would be attributed based on the location of processing, not on the location of ownership, he said.\n\"This will eventually provide a clearer picture of who our trading partners really are, but, while this lengthy process unfolds, countries will still be arguing based on misleading data,\" Kraemer and fellow authors Greg Linden and Jason Dedrick said in a recent paper.\nFOOTLOOSE MANUFACTURERS\nThe bill would allow the U.S. government to slap duties on products from countries found to be subsidizing their exports by undervaluing their currencies.\nFred Bergsten, director of the Washington-based Peterson Institute for International Economics, reckons a $100 billion improvement in America&apos;s current account deficit would translate into 600,000 new jobs.\nBut Fredrik Erixon, director of the European Center for International Political Economy, a think tank in Brussels, said America&apos;s trade deficit had deep demographic and other structural roots. As such, even a substantial rise in the yuan would lead to only a marginal increase in U.S. jobs.\n\"Multinational firms that think currency appreciation is going to have a big effect on their export capacity from China to the United States are going to shift to other countries, not to the United States,\" he said.\nIndeed, manufacturers are already exiting low-margin sectors in response to the steady rise in the yuan -- up 30 percent in nominal terms against the dollar since 2005 -- plus fast-rising costs for labor, land, energy and other inputs.\nJonathan Anderson, chief emerging-markets economist for UBS in Hong Kong, said U.S. and EU trade data showed that China&apos;s share of total low-end light manufacturing imports had peaked over the last 24 months and was now falling outright in the United States.\nGaining at China&apos;s expense were its even cheaper neighbors, including Vietnam, Bangladesh and Indonesia, as well as Mexico, Anderson said.\nStrikingly, while overall U.S. imports of apparel and furniture have continued to increase over the past two years, domestic American production has plummeted. Foreigners have gained, not lost, market share.\nAnderson said it made perfect sense that U.S. workers were not the beneficiaries of rising Chinese wages.\n\"If $300 per month for a 65-plus hour work week is too rich for, say, basic toy manufacturers, do they go to the U.S. and pay $1,200/month plus benefits for a 40-hour week at the minimum wage -- or do they go to Bangladesh or Cambodia, where workers put in Chinese-style hours for less than $100/month?\" he wrote in a recent report.\nOnly by forcing a massive rise in the yuan or imposing implausibly high tariffs could such a cost gap be closed. The threat of trade and currency wars, which is likely to be a refrain at this weekend&apos;s meeting of Group of 20 finance ministers in Paris, could then well become a reality.\n\"The gradual concentration of electronics manufacturing in Asia over the past 30 years cannot be reversed in the short to medium term without undermining the relatively free flow of goods, capital, and people that provides the basis for the global economy,\" wrote Kraemer, Linden and Dedrick.\nThey said they did not want to imply that there was no hope for U.S. manufacturing. But it was design, computing and marketing, not snapping a molded plastic case in place, that created high-wage jobs. In any case, next-door Mexico could already handle final assembly at a relatively low cost.\n\"Bringing high-volume electronics assembly back to the U.S. is not the path to &apos;good jobs&apos; or economic growth,\" they wrote.",

        "raw_content": "Bear Stearns and EMC Mortgage to Pay $28 Million to Settle FTC Charges of Unlawful Mortgage Servicing and Debt Collection Practices\nThe Bear Stearns Companies, LLC and its subsidiary, EMC Mortgage Corporation, have agreed to pay $28 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they engaged in unlawful practices in servicing consumers\u2019 home mortgage loans. The companies allegedly misrepresented the amounts borrowers owed, charged unauthorized fees, such as late fees, property inspection fees, and loan modification fees, and engaged in unlawful and abusive collection practices. Under the proposed settlement they will stop the alleged illegal practices and institute a data integrity program to ensure the accuracy and completeness of consumers\u2019 loan information.\n\u201cLike other companies that send a bill, mortgage servicers must make sure that the amount they say is due really is the amount due,\u201d said Lydia B. Parnes, Director of the FTC\u2019s Bureau of Consumer Protection. \u201cConsumers have the right to expect accuracy from the company that collects their mortgage payments.\u201d\nAs stated in the FTC\u2019s complaint, Bear Stearns and EMC have played a prominent role in the secondary market for residential mortgage loans. During the explosive growth of the mortgage industry in recent years, they acquired and securitized loans at a rapid pace, but they allegedly paid inadequate attention to the integrity of consumers\u2019 loan information and to sound servicing practices. As a result, in servicing consumers\u2019 loans, they neglected to obtain timely and accurate information on consumers\u2019 loans, made inaccurate claims to consumers, and engaged in unlawful collection and servicing practices. These practices occurred prior to JP Morgan Chase & Co.\u2019s acquisition of Bear Stearns, which became effective on May 30, 2008.\nAccording to the complaint, EMC is the mortgage servicer for many of the loans Bear Stearns and EMC acquired. Many of these loans are subprime or \u201cAlt-A\u201d (less than prime) loans, including nontraditional mortgages such as pay option adjustable rate mortgages (\u201cpick-a-payment\u201d loans), interest-only mortgages, negative amortization loans, and loans made with little or no income or asset documentation. EMC\u2019s loan servicing portfolio has grown significantly in recent years; as of September 2007, it serviced more than 475,000 mortgage loans with a total unpaid balance of about $80 billion.\nTHE FTC COMPLAINT\nThe complaint charges Bear Stearns and EMC with violating the FTC Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and the Truth in Lending Act\u2019s (TILA) Regulation Z.\nFTC Act Violations: The defendants are charged with unfair and deceptive loan servicing practices in violation of the FTC Act. They allegedly misrepresented the amounts consumers owed; assessed and collected unauthorized fees, such as late fees, property inspection fees, and loan modification fees; and misrepresented that they possessed and relied upon a reasonable basis for their representations about consumers\u2019 loans.\nFair Debt Collection Practices Act Violations: The defendants allegedly violated several provisions of the FDCPA in collecting loans that were in default when they obtained them. They also allegedly made harassing collection calls; falsely represented the character, amount, or legal status of consumers\u2019 debts; and failed to communicate that debts were disputed. In addition, they allegedly used false representations or deceptive means to collect, and failed to send consumers a validation notice containing the amount of the debt and the consumer\u2019s right to dispute the debt and obtain verification of the debt.\nFair Credit Reporting Act Violations: The FTC alleges that the defendants furnished information about consumers\u2019 payment status to credit reporting agencies (CRAs). When consumers informed the defendants that they disputed the completeness or accuracy of the reported information, the defendants failed to report the dispute to the CRAs as required by the FCRA.\nTruth in Lending Act\u2019s Regulation Z Violations: The complaint also states that the defendants charged borrowers a loan modification fee, typically $500, and automatically added the fee to the modified loan\u2019s principal balance. In doing so, the defendants failed to provide the borrowers with required TILA disclosures.\nThe proposed settlement requires Bear Stearns and EMC to pay $28 million to redress consumers who have been injured by the illegal practices alleged in the complaint. In addition, the settlement bars the defendants from future law violations and imposes new restrictions and requirements on their business practices. Specifically, the settlement:\nbars the defendants from misrepresenting amounts due and any other loan terms;\nrequires them to possess and rely upon competent and reliable evidence to support claims made to consumers about their loans;\nbars them from charging unauthorized fees, and places specific limits on property inspection fees even if they are authorized by the contract;\nprohibits them from initiating a foreclosure action, or charging any foreclosure fees, unless they have reviewed all available records to verify that the consumer is in material default, confirmed that the defendants have not subjected the consumer to any illegal practices, and investigated and resolved any consumer disputes; and\nprohibits the defendants from violating the FDCPA, FCRA, and TILA.\nThe proposed settlement further requires Bear Stearns and EMC to establish and maintain a comprehensive data integrity program to ensure the accuracy and completeness of data and other information that they obtain about consumers\u2019 loan accounts, before servicing those accounts. The defendants must obtain an assessment from a qualified, independent, third-party professional within six months and then every two years, for the next eight years, to assure that their data integrity program meets the standards of the order.\nThe proposed settlement also contains record-keeping and reporting provisions to allow the FTC to monitor compliance with the order.\nThe Commission vote to authorize staff to file the complaint and proposed stipulated final order was 4-0. The documents were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.\nIncluding the case announced today, the Commission has brought 23 actions in the past decade alleging deceptive or unfair practices by mortgage brokers, lenders, and servicers. Several of these landmark cases have resulted in large monetary judgments that have returned more than $320 million to consumers.\nCONSUMER HOTLINE: If the court approves the settlement, consumers who are eligible for redress will be contacted by mail. The Commission\u2019s consumer hotline regarding the settlement is 1-877-787-3941. Consumers who have changed their address recently may provide updated contact information by calling the hotline. Consumers also can find information about the settlement on the FTC\u2019s Web site at http://www.ftc.gov.\nNOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has \u201creason to believe\u201d that the law has been or is being violated, and it appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the defendants have actually violated the law. The stipulated final order is for settlement purposes only and does not constitute an admission by the defendants of a law violation. A stipulated final order requires approval by the court and has the force of law when signed by the judge.\nThe Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC's online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 1,500 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC's Web site provides free information on a variety of consumer topics.\n(FTC File No.0623031)\nLucy Morris,\nEMC Mortgage Co.",

        "title": "21st Century Dunkirk: A Leader in Public Transportation Policy \u2014 GAPSS",
        "raw_content": "Written By: Cooper Cscorba (2018)\nChristopher Nolan\u2019s film \u201cDunkirk\u201d is a dramatic and emotional depiction of the evacuation effort of allied soldiers from France and the British Empire during the Battle of France in World War II. Unfortunately, this article is not a discussion of the film and its cinematography, although it\u2019s certainly a worthy discussion. Instead, we are interested in how Dunkirk is depicted today: as a northern French coastal city of over 200,000 residents nestled between the Belgian border, the Normandy area, and a short drive to Paris. Dunkirk is a spectacle of its own and will be praised several paragraphs from now for its political ambition and audacious transportation planning. However, it did not become a spectacle overnight. Dunkirk had both an aging and shrinking population, threatening its position as an attractive destination to pursue a career and raise a family.\nThe Port City of Dunkirk. Image Via SelenaThePlaces.Com (2014)\nDunkirk, primarily a municipality centred around steel and oil refining, began as a fishing village in the tenth century. Its harbour and complementary industrial services are the third largest in France and generate frequent economic activity. The city also stands alone as a tourist attraction, attracting recent moviegoers of the blockbuster film, along with penchants for historic yearning who are familiar with World War II history pre-Christopher Nolan era. Definitely, the tourist draw is centred on the historic harbour, however, it\u2019s worthy to note that Dunkirk\u2019s two UNESCO Heritage Sites (its townhall and the Saint-\u00c9loi church) also serve as a draw.\nNow, this personae as a tourist-friendly city has been recent. In fact, the first UNESCO Heritage designation, for the Saint-\u00c9loi church, was achieved in 2004, and tourist numbers have only been impressive in the last half-decade. The population shrinkage and subsequent stagnation commenced in the 1980s. As the population was stagnating, the cities demographics were inevitably ageing, and young families were becoming a rare occurrence. Another rare occurrence was public transportation usage. North American\u2019s seem to hold an idea that all Europeans cities, of any size and growth pattern, have phenomenal public transportation and ridership. Let\u2019s dismiss this idea. Up until 2015, Public transportation only represented 5 percent of total trips in Dunkirk, and biking representing 1 percent of total trips. This figure is easily surpassed in Edmonton.\nThis was until one Mayor was determined to raise public transportation ridership, and wage a campaign against Dunkirk\u2019s dangerous population stagnation, enter Mayor Patrice Vergriete. His vision for the city was to make public transportation free. In an interview with CityLab, Vergriete explains that a well-utilized public transportation system will attract and retain families, young professionals and seniors, and the purchasing power of residents will exponentially grow. Upon the introduction of free weekend service in 2015, the ambitious decision was met with mass scepticism that was unwilling to accept that a free public transportation system could sustain itself. This would be proved wrong.\nThe free weekend service saw \u201cthe ridership increased to 30% on Saturdays and 80% on Sundays\u201d shortly after its introduction according to a CityLab article by Laura Bliss. Introduced through increments, the entire service throughout the week will become free as of Fall 2018.\nDunkirk\u2019s population now is on the rise, and passengers using public transportation have increased, setting forth a mode shift away from the car. Dunkirk will go on to become the most populated city in France to offer this service.\nAll of this was achieved through a regional business tax increase originally set in motion to fund a new, and potentially wasteful sports stadium. With a change in leadership came a shift in political priorities. The regional business tax now funds the public transportation system and has gone on to fund its expansion to the network. The business owners being dealt the tax have had continued support as it seems the tax pays for itself. Greater overall ridership and ridership diversification will stimulate the local economy.\nImage via Themindunleashed.com\nIt is important to note that Dunkirk\u2019s farebox recovery ratio (the fraction of operating expenses which are met by the fares paid by passengers) pre-2015 was very low at 10%. Removing fares would not make a noticeable difference to the operating budget, as the fares only covered a fraction of the operating expenses for the public transportation system, to begin with.\nCertainly, Dunkirk must be praised for its transportation model and political will. According to Jennifer Keesmaat, the former Chief Planner for Toronto, the average household in North America spends $5235 annually on vehicle ownership, insurance and maintenance costs. Of course, this does not include the costs born to cities such as pollution, traffic congestion and roadway maintenance that private automobile-dominance has created. As I would like to provide a more reflective number for France, there is certainty that long-term transit riders in Dunkirk familiar with the 1.40 euro ticket cost (in other words, individuals dependent upon its service and without car ownership) will have saved 600 euros a year. This is not only a step that\u2019s providing families and residents with a cheap option to access their city, but it\u2019s a step towards a more sustainable city.\nWhat the Heck is a Restrictive ...",

All in all, the trends indicate a near-term future in which machines and humans are co-workers and, possibly, even codependents.\nThe top 10 predictions are:\nBy 2018, digital business will require 50 percent less business process workers and 500 percent more key digital business jobs, compared with traditional models.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: By year-end 2016, 50 percent of digital transformation initiatives will be unmanageable due to lack of portfolio management skills, leading to a measurable negative lost market share.\nBy 2017, a significant disruptive digital business will be launched that was conceived by a computer algorithm.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: Through 2015, the most highly valued initial public offerings (IPOs) will involve companies that combine digital markets with physical logistics to challenge pure physical legacy business ecosystems.\nBy 2018, the total cost of ownership for business operations will be reduced by 30 percent through smart machines and industrialized services.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: By 2015, there will be more than 40 vendors with commercially available managed services offerings leveraging smart machines and industrialized services.\nBy 2020, developed world life expectancy will increase by 0.5 years due to widespread adoption of wireless health monitoring technology.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: By 2017, costs for diabetic care are reduced by 10 percent through the use of smartphones.\nBy year-end 2016, more than $2 billion in online shopping will be performed exclusively by mobile digital assistants.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: By year-end 2015, mobile digital assistants will have taken on tactical mundane processes such as filling out names, addresses and credit card information.\nBy 2017, U.S. customers\u2019 mobile engagement behavior will drive mobile commerce revenue in the U.S. to 50 percent of U.S. digital commerce revenue.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: A renewed interest in mobile payment will arise in 2015, together with a significant increase in mobile commerce (due in part to the introduction of Apple Pay and similar efforts by competitors, such as Google increasing efforts to drive adoption of its NFC-enabled Google Wallet).\nBy 2017, 70 percent of successful digital business models will rely on deliberately unstable processes designed to shift as customer needs shift.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: By the end of 2015, five percent of global organizations will design \u201csupermaneuverable\u201d processes that provide competitive advantage.\nBy 2017, 50 percent of consumer product investments will be redirected to customer experience innovations.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: By 2015, more than half of traditional consumer products will have native digital extensions.\nBy 2017, nearly 20 percent of durable goods e-tailers will use 3D printing (3DP) to create personalized product offerings.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: By 2015, more than 90 percent of durable goods e-tailers will actively seek external partnerships to support the new \u201cpersonalized\u201d product business models.\nBy 2020, retail businesses that utilize targeted messaging in combination with internal positioning systems (IPS) will see a five percent increase in sales.\n\u2013Near-Term Flag: By 2016, there will be an increase in the number of offers from retailers focused on customer location and the length of time in store.\nTop 10 Strategic Tech Trends for 2019\nDon\u2019t lose your competitive advantage.\nGartner clients can get more detailed analysis around these trends in the report, \u201cResearch Guide: The Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2015\u201d.",

And so aggregating it is helpful from that point of view as well,\u201d he said.\nCook said the company may \u201cdecide something different\u201d in the future.\nSo it looks like for at least the first few months after the launch of the Apple Watch, the company will not be revealing how many of the device they have sold.\nApple are expected to launch the Apple Watch early next year, the company has yet to give a specific release date, although it is rumored to launch before the end of quarter one, possibly some time in March.",

        "raw_content": "GC14Z9R \u25bc\nBrule Fossils from the Past\nA cache by FundyRockHound Send Message to Owner Message this owner\nSmall walking trail near the Brule Fossil Centre. Easy parking at the museum.\nFossils of Brule\nIdentifying the Trackways\nHundreds of footprints have been found at Brule. Identification of the animals that made them is based on the similarity of the footprints with those of contemporary fossil skeletons as well as general similarities in size and shape. Often, this involves a lot of imagination and detective work.\nDimetrodonWhile scientists have yet to confidently identify three of the trackmakers, we do know the general types of animals that match these styles of tracks. Araeoscelis represents the family of lizard-like animals that would have made one of the undetermined trackways. Another was probably a temnospondyl amphibian, perhaps cacops. The third style of trackway has been named Gilmoreichnus sp. and is vaguely ascribed to an ophiacodont pelycosaur, but it is not certain as to which species.\nOf the recognisable trackways, one type has been attributed to the mammal-like reptile Dimetrodon sp. The footprints are smaller than Dimetrodon prints found elsewhere in the world, but scientists believe that this may be a smaller species of Dimetrodon specific to this region. Another of the trackways fits Varanops sp. to a tee.\nSeymouriaThe most common trackway at Brule was most likely made by a reptiliomorph called Seymouria sp. In places where the path was wide, these footprints are often accompanied with a tail drag, indicating a sprawling stride. The tail drag disappears where the path narrows and the animal may have had to hold itself more upright (in order to pass between trees, for example).\nWhat the Trackways Tell Us\nBrule presents the world's oldest evidence of herding behaviour. Many of the trackways point in the same direction, indicating that this direction was preferred by the animals for some reason (a path to a water hole, for example). In areas where there are subsequent layers of tracks separated by sediment, the direction of the footprints is the same. These paths seem to have been used over a long period of time.\nScientists believe that the animals at Brule travelled in herds. The tracks were pressed into the mud within a short time frame, while the conditions were ideal (as if by a group of animals travelling together). Also, many of the trackways were made by several individuals but always by the same type of animal, and the regular spacing of the tracks suggests a \"follow the leader\" pattern of movement.\nFossil Flora\nThe tetrapod trackways meander through the fossilised evidence of an ancient forest. This forest appears to consist of only one type of tree, a primitive conifer of the genus Walchia. Never before have Walchia fossils been found in Nova Scotia, although they have been found in parts of Europe. This suggests that Nova Scotia and Europe were once in close proximity to one other and had similar environments.\nEven more astonishing is the fact that the forest has been preserved in its original growing position--the only example of this ever found! Prior to the discovery at Brule, scientists had never found a Walchia specimen in situ, and could only guess what an entire forest might have looked like. Brule is truly a snapshot of the past.\nThe forest is made up of over 90 tree stumps, prostrate trees with branches and the impressions of the foliage that would have littered the forest floor. Some of the stumps are oval rather than round and scientists believe that these are the remains of windblown trees, leaning at odd angles to the forest floor. The trees were probably more than 12 m (40 ft) tall, with little tapering in the trunks and whorled branches spaced 35-50 cm (14-20 inches) apart. Some had cones, similar to present day pinecones.\nAll of these clues lead scientists to believe that this was a mixed age forest favouring younger trees, with up to 1400 trees per hectare (566 trees per acre), inhabited by various tetrapods. Ground cover plants on the forest floor seem to have been sparse if not altogether absent, as there is no evidence of them.\nSnapshot of the Past\nBrule illustrates a moment in geologic time that occurred somewhere very close to the boundary between the Carboniferous Period and the Permian Period. It provides us with a clear picture of life in a Walchia forest 290 million years ago.\nThe cache is a small PB container with black tape. Small trading items, pencil, sharpener & logbook.\nebbg vg bhg",

        "raw_content": "Vale Nick \u2013 The Glebe Society\nYou are viewing \u00bb Home \u00bb Issues \u00bb Community Development \u00bb Vale Nick\nNick Hespe (image: Phil Young)\nBorn in Sydney, Nick was given middle names of his respective grandfathers, and his surname derived from Carl Heinrich Hespe, who\u2019d emigrated to NSW to work the Mogo and Araluen goldfields in the 1850s. Nick was the first born of parents Don and Col who initially lived in Concord, then Strathfield with their respective in-laws until they moved to Canterbury. Siblings Tony, born in 1952, Lyn in 1953 and Tim in 1955 were born there and Gerard, born in 1963 after they moved to Como Parade completed the family. The Hespes and their cousins from the Moore, Wadell and Keon clans developed close bonds. Camping trips down the south coast and to Araluen were traditions Nick continued with his children. Sense of place and memory, family and history were very important to him.\nNick attended St Patrick\u2019s in Sutherland, then enrolled in science at Sydney University but didn\u2019t last very long. He did, however, meet Deborah Fry at a first year social. Both their fathers, they discovered, had been working in London and Vienna with the Atomic Energy Commission. Don Hespe and Bob Fry had previously worked together at Lucas Heights in the 60s, and would later work together for the Office of the Supervising Scientist. Nick and Deb married in 1973 and Tom was born in January 1974. Around this time Nick began working with the Australian artist Dennis Adams, along with Bill Baverstock as an assistant. He always spoke fondly and proudly of this time of his life. He was a newly-wed young father who was enjoying working with men he much admired. Together they produced a number of works, many of which can still be seen today; the most notable being the bronze bas-relief memorial to the South East Asian Wars in Regimental Lane between George St and Wynyard Lane (http://www.cityartsydney.com.au/artwork/royal-australian-regiment-memorial/). It was during this time that Nick was exposed to asbestos. It was an ingredient in the plaster that Nick would mix for moulds.\nAfter he and Deb parted ways Nick embarked on a new stage in his life. He moved into a rambunctious share house in Watkin St, Newtown and began studying early childhood education. In the late 1970s this was a fairly radical move for a man but one that Nick readily embraced. He was a compassionate, inventive, intelligent man with a cheeky sense of humour, and found working with kids really rewarding. He had the uncanny ability to engage with children immediately and with ease. Nick worked for some time with the kids at Elsie in Glebe, the first Women\u2019s Refuge in Australia, and did his first pre-school placement out at Moree in the NSW North West.\nWhen the Magic Yellow Bus job came along it seemed custom-made for Nick. Who else could list Bus Driver and Pre-school Teacher on their resume let alone combine them for work? Loaded with craft equipment and supplies sourced from Reverse Garbage, the MYB would head off from Addison Rd each afternoon to an inner city park and set up outdoor after school care activities. He worked on the bus for four years and these were very memorable times. Nick\u2019s co-worker on the bus was Annie Fitzgerald; Annie introduced him to her cousin Amanda Walton and thus began new chapter in Nick\u2019s life.\nIn Mandy, Nick found a soul-mate. In 1984 he and Mandy moved to Maitland; Nick to work on a mobile community van, Mandy to take her first solicitor\u2019s job in Wyong. It was a bold move for both of them. The fresh air and new start obviously agreed with them. Before long their daughters were born, Madeleine in 1985, Jo in 1986; the Walton-Hespes had arrived. The couple tied the knot the end of that year.\nIt was only two years before the family moved back to Sydney and settled in Mandy\u2019s house in Watsons Bay. Nick got a job at the Bondi Cottage child centre before changing tack and working for a time in Blackwattle Bay, making parquetry floors. He loved being on the tools, in his shorts, covered in exotic fragrant sawdust. The attention to detail this job required appealed to his sense of order and design.\nBefore long, however, another change took place. Mandy\u2019s uncle, Jamie McInnes was terminally ill, so Nick and Mandy and the girls relocated to Lindfield, and took on the roles of primary carers for Jamie\u2019s teenage daughters Megan and Genevieve. Nick managed with his usual gentleness and practicality to make the process of relocation, co-habitation, loss and grief as smooth as possible for everyone. He became a second father to Gen and Megs. The Lindfield house was always full of laughter despite the heartache. Somehow during this time Nick managed, among other things, to complete a graduate diploma in conflict resolution whilst working in the Early Childhood sector on the Northern Beaches.\nIn 1996 the Walton-Hespes moved back to Watsons Bay. Devotion to his immediate and extended family and fulfilment through his work in the community sector coupled with the pleasure he got from cycling and creating things was to be the pattern for the rest of Nick\u2019s life. Nick had it all; he really was very content with his lot and only a month before he passed away he told his son, Tom, how lucky he had been in his life and what a good life it had been \u2013 no regrets. Watching his parents age and pass, his children grow, the tragic loss of Genevieve; these were milestones to be respected and cherished, but Nick\u2019s focus was always resolutely on the future.\nWhen the ABC relocated from William St to Ultimo at the turn of the century Nick was given the task of designing the onsite childcare centre. He relished this opportunity, which in a sense was the culmination of his work in early childcare and one that paved the way for the next stage of his career; working for the City of Sydney. Nick\u2019s calm and gentle nature, his attention to detail and the order of things, his diplomacy, empathy and good humour, coupled with the respect and support of his colleagues and the community allowed him to do such valuable work in the City, and in Glebe in particular. The major redevelopment and refurbishment of the Glebe Point Rd precinct, which began shortly after Nick came to Glebe in 2004, may have been considerably more problematic for residents and businesses alike had Nick not been on hand to mediate. The list of achievements he had a hand in is long, as is the list of people whose lives he touched. Nick\u2019s friendship and support was something he would give unquestioningly to all people.\nThe last three years have been bittersweet for all the whole family. Nick\u2019s diagnosis with mesothelioma was such a shock but he knew something was up. As with everything it was a process the whole family went through and something Nick tackled with his indomitable practicality and optimism. The cancer was something he would die with, not of.\nThe treatments knocked him around, he lost weight and was in constant pain which kept growing. He finally started to look his age rather than twenty years younger. Nonetheless, life went on; perhaps even more keenly that before. Cycling was essential as always, work was not a job but food for his soul and a pleasure, and something he continued in as long as possible. After resigning Nick continued to cycle to and visit Glebe on a regular basis. He became active in the community committee of the Glebe Society, and he and Mandy took trips to the US and Portugal, and participated in the annual family rail trail rides to Victoria. Madeleine and Dan\u2019s wedding and, of course, baby Jude who arrived a day before Nick\u2019s birthday contributed to his joy. As Mandy said, \u2018Nick was so ready for Jude\u2019.\nNick was very stubborn and resolute in his quiet way. He avoided hospital till the last day, and even then the family felt like they were at home. Nick slipped away peacefully and gracefully surrounded in love by his family, just as he lived.\nThank you to Nick\u2019s son, Thomas, for sharing with Janice his eulogy for his late father.",

        "raw_content": "The employment agreement contains three post-termination restrictive covenants: (1) that employee will not engage in any similar business within a 25-mile radius of the dance academy for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date of termination of employment; (2) that employee will not solicit or do business with any of the teachers, students and/or parents of the dance academy for a period of not less than three (3) years from the date of termination of employment; and (3) that employee will not solicit any customer, client, student, parent, or employee for the purpose of providing similar services or products. The defendant filed a motion to dismiss all of the plaintiff's claims, arguing that the plaintiff's claims were legally defective because: (1) the restrictive provisions of the employment agreement were invalid and unenforceable as a matter of law; and (2) there was no allegation of a plausible factual basis that the defendant misappropriated a customer list. After the court denied the motion to dismiss (but struck the third restrictive covenant as over-broad), the court, on the defendant's motion, certified two questions for interlocutory review by the appellate court: (1) Do employment-based restrictive covenants with time periods lasting \"not less than\" five and \"not less than\" three years contain an enforceable and reasonable temporal scope; and (2) in the context of employment-based restrictive covenants, do restrictions lasting \"not less than\" five and \"not less than\" three years mean five and three years respectively? The appellate court answered the second question first, ruling that employment-based restrictive covenants lasting \"not less than\" five and \"not less than\" three years mean five and three years (and not a day less) respectively. The appellate court declined to answer the first question, stating that in this case, the court is unable to determine whether employment-based restrictive covenants lasting three and five years, respectively, are reasonable in their temporal scope. The determination of reasonableness depends on the totality of the particular facts and circumstances of each case. Thus, a blanket bright-line standard is not appropriate. The parties must be given a full opportunity to develop the record.\nThe appellate court also reiterated the governing legal standard under Illinois law to determine the validity and enforceability of employment-based restrictive covenants, established by the Illinois Supreme Court in its decision in Reliable Fire Equipment Co. v. Arredondo. \"A restrictive covenant, assuming it is ancillary to a valid employment relationship, is reasonable only if the covenant: (1) is no greater than is required for the protection of a legitimate business interest of the employer-promisee; (2) does not impose undue hardship on the employee-promisor; and (3) is not injurious to the public....[T]he extent of the employer's legitimate business interest may be limited by type of activity, geographical area, and time.\"\nNon-competition agreements/restrictive covenants",

The acquisition is the second after the acquisition of C&W Fabricators for $60 million, Bennett said, but he declined to name potential targets or a timeframe. Welding Services is a specialty mechanical maintenance contractor.\nThe Deutsche Bank loan comprises a $75 million term loan and a $25 million revolver. Noting the selection of the lead bank, Bennett said, \"Deutsche Bank gave us very aggressive terms, not necessarily pricing, but they worked hard and quickly. The team had a good understanding of the industry and we were impressed by the leveraged loan capabilities,\" he added. GE Capital,Antares Capital, and CIBC World Markets are the agent banks, he added. He declined to provide pricing but a banker said the tranches carry a LIBOR plus 4% spread. Fees available during syndication were 11/ 2% for $15 million tickets and 1% for $10 million. Duke Capital Partners, a subsidiary of Duke Energy provided $30 million in subordinated debt financing and First Reserve provided the equity, he noted.

        "raw_content": "Editor\u2019s note: Chaelin Jung submitted her following personal story to Global Young Voices. You too can submit yours to us here.\nAbout ten minutes from where I live, the suburbs begin to fade into neglected, graying neighborhoods. At one gas station, affluent drivers avoid the dozens of men who look (and even beg) for day jobs to feed their families. In this community, which, according to the Arizona Department of Behavioral Health Services 2009 Needs Assessment, is the fourth riskiest neighborhood for youth in the Maricopa County, four out of ten children live in extreme poverty. Four of these children go to bed hungry, and more than nine of them turn to substance abuse to cope with the harsh realities of their lives, according to the ICAN Community 2011 Needs Assessment. In some areas, gangs roam, striking fear into the local residents and recruiting youth.\nIn January of 2016, I began volunteering weekly at a local after-school program for disadvantaged students. My major responsibilities include tutoring students, assisting in the literacy program, and modelling positive behavior. I have interacted with hundreds, if not thousands, of youth through this program, but early on, I met one girl who would have a much greater impact on me than I would have ever imagined a twelve-year-old could. She wasn\u2019t the most outgoing, nor the most playful. Neither was she the most popular or funny; she was simply one of those kids who are often glossed over, never receiving or attracting any attention. Quiet and introverted, she was just another face in the crowd to others. But I quickly befriended her and cherished my short time with her every week.\nWith the underprivileged youth we mentored in a holiday event in December 2016\nOne week, when I went in for my regular volunteer session, I noticed Hannah\u2019s. It was torn, dirty, and looked like a hand-me-down. After speaking to her and several other kids, I learned that many of them lacked even the most basic of school supplies, such as pencils, paper, notebooks, etc. I thought to myself: \u201cHow do we as a society expect kids like Hannah to succeed when they don\u2019t have even the most rudimentary of resources?\u201d We push them to the fringes of society and deprive them of resources, and then look at them as if they are just squandering their lives and living in poverty because they are too lazy to work or try. The problem didn\u2019t even start at the lack of resources; it began at the lack of expectations.\nHow are students like Hannah supposed to succeed, to pursue higher education, obtain a job with wages higher than minimum wage, and advance upwards on the ladder of social mobility if society tells them that they cannot and will not succeed--simply because they originated from an impoverished, poor area? This is the question that drives my activism and service.\nIn my sophomore year of high school, I enrolled in a new class called AP Capstone Seminar, in which I had the opportunity to research topics of interest to me. Early on in the year, I read a memoir called Born Bright by C. Nicole Mason about her experiences growing up in poverty: her father growing up in an violent neighborhood rampant with drugs and crime, watching her father spend time in and out of prison, and being neglected by her young mother. After reading this book, I felt convicted to research income inequality and ultimately wrote about the efficacy of increasing the minimum wage for my final independent research project.\nThinking of Hannah and the other children I saw with torn, dirty, hand-me-down backpacks, I decided to start a service project at my school called The Backpack Project. The Backpack Project originally started as a simple endeavor: raise money through fundraisers to purchase backpacks and school supplies for underprivileged youth in my community.\nFilled backpacks we donated to a local Title One elementary school.\nThe lack of empowerment that many of these at-risk youth face is a complex problem that traces back to family dynamics, generational poverty, governmental programs, etc. Tackling these systemic obstacles requires the collaboration of a multitude of actors: non-profit organizations, academia, government agencies and legislation. However, rather than allowing these numerous obstacles hinder my mission, I narrowed my focus to focus on one aspect: educational empowerment. I have always believed that collective action is the most effective, so we first started by contacting local Title One elementary schools, where a majority of the student population come from low-income households. We coordinated tutoring programs where our school sends several students to different elementary schools every week to help students with their homework and tutor them on subjects they struggle with. Additionally, we have attended events where members are matched with disadvantaged students to mentor them for a day. With these two methods, we have been able to impact the lives of over 200 students this past year alone.\nWe have also continued our original efforts to donate school supplies and backpacks. However, funding doesn\u2019t always come easy, and raising enough money to purchase these resources has been an arduous battle. However, thanks to compassionate administrators at my school and giving individuals throughout our community, we have been able to donate backpacks full of school supplies with handwritten notes to an entire classroom of students in an disadvantaged elementary school.\nThe importance of education is more important in today\u2019s world than it has ever been, and thus it is fitting that it is Sustainable Development Goal 4. Sometimes I get discouraged thinking about the immense social, economic, and even political barriers that prevent children around the world from gaining a free education. But then I remember: through one backpack, one pencil, and one child at a time, we can make a difference.\nPhotos credit: Chaelin Jung\nARIZONA, NEGLECTED NEIGHBORHOODS, MARICOPA COUNTRY, CHILDREN, POVERTY, HUNGER, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, HARSH REALITIES, JANUARY 2016, VOLUNTEERING, AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM, DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS, HANNA, GREATER IMPACT, DESIRE TO LEARN, LACK OF RESOURCES, AP CAPSTONE SEMINARE, BORN BRIGHT, NICOLE MASON, CRUELTY OF POVERTY, SARVICE PROJECT, THE BACKPACK PROJECT, FUNDRAISERS, EMPOWER STUDENTS, EDUCATIONAL EMPOWERMENT, SDG 4, MAKE A DIFFERENCE",

        "title": "Does Overeating Healthy Eating Plan Sabotage Your Diet?",
        "raw_content": "Does Overeating Healthy Eating Plan Sabotage Your Diet?\nIn the quest to eat healthier and lose some extra pounds, you are possibly, unknowingly destroying your efforts by overeating foods that are considered healthy. Just because a food is deemed healthy, does not mean you can throw caution to the wind, and eat an unlimited amount of that food and expect to have a healthy diet.\nPortion control is a major consideration when choosing to follow a healthy eating plan. For instance, grapes are a fruit, and fruit is a healthy food, so logically I can eat as much as I want. Not true, because grapes, in particular have a very high sugar content.\nSome Healthy Eating Plans To Try Out\nA granola bar and some yogurts are so high in sugar content that it is the same as eating a candy bar, and that will certainly derail your attempt at choosing healthy foods.\nYou must learn how to properly read labels, and see for yourself, how much sugar and sodium is put into foods that are marketed to be healthy for you.\nSmoothies are all the rage, but some can be as unhealthy as a milkshake, because they are made with frozen yogurt, peanut butter, chocolate and/or flavored syrups. The only way to know if your smoothie is truly healthy is to make it yourself, and add only fresh fruit or unsweetened frozen fruits, plain yogurt and ice.\nYogurt can be a healthy food choice, but it is mostly marketed as a healthy item, but in reality, it is as unhealthy as a piece of chocolate cake. The small-type yogurt cups, that advertise fruit on the bottom, may be less than 100 calories, but it will pack on a whopping 25 grams of sugar. This huge sugar intake certainly outweighs any minimal healthy calcium intake. VAT pasteurized yogurt, which is made from raw milk, is recommended as a truly healthy choice. Even better would be to make yogurt yourself, and to know exactly the ingredients that went into making the food.\nYou may think that choosing to wrap-up your lunch is a better choice than two slices of white bread, but in reality it can be worse than two slices of whole grain bread. Mission Spinach Wraps, for instance, are over 200 calories each, plus 5 grams of fat, and a whopping 440 mg of sodium, to make you feel bloated all day. Remember, these numbers are for the wrap alone \u2013 start adding toppings, and you can be looking at a \u201chealthy\u201d sandwich that is over 800 calories. It is advised that you read the labels, as many sandwich wraps say that they are made with vegetables, but in reality, there is just a pinch of real vegetable powder, and a whole lot of food coloring, fake flavors and other harmful additives.\nYou May Also Like: Foods To Be Avoided In Your Diet\nAgave is found on store shelves as a healthy sweetener choice, but it is a laboratory generated fructose syrup void of any valuable nutrients. Depending on how it is processed, there is anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of fructose in agave.\nFructose, when consumed in large quantities, is a dangerous sugar to consumer, as it will raise uric acid in the body. Uric acid is directly linked to insulin resistance, hypertension, diabetes and diseases of the liver and kidneys.\nVeggie Chips sound like a healthy food choice, but when you grab a bag of these in your local food market, you are picking up nothing more than a glorified potato chip. There may be a touch or two of vegetable powder added to the mix, but certainly nothing will justify calling this type of chip healthy. In addition, many of these types of snacks are baked at high temperatures, which results in a tasteless product. For a truly healthy snack, chop fresh vegetables, such as celery, radishes, carrots and bell peppers.\nNuts are indeed packed with fiber, protein, vitamins and heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. They also carry a very high caloric count. Just a quarter cup of almonds (which is less than 30 nuts) contains more than 130 calories. Unless, these little treasures are portion controlled, it is very easy to over indulge in this treat.\nCheese is an excellent source of calcium and protein, but cheese is also full of calories and fat. An ounce of cheddar cheese is more than 110 calories and almost 10 grams of fat, with more than 6 of the grams being unhealthy saturated fats. Goat cheese and fresh feta are the best cheeses for dieters.\nRead Also: How Eating Fruits Makes You Live Longer\nThis may surprise many of you, but store-bought ketchup is loaded with sodium and sugar. Yes, it is low in calories and has no fat, but when considering what to eat it is important to read the entire food label, and then make the best food choice for a healthy daily eating plan. Remember, a serving size is one tablespoon, so think about that before you dump a pile of ketchup on your plate.",

It gives this Government and this Parliament the opportunity to make different choices \u2013 and shows that we can create a fairer and more just society when we take matters into our own hands.\n\u201cI believe strongly that everyone has a right to social security - so much so that I have put these principles on the very first page of this Bill.\n\u201cAnd these principles are embedded in our approach throughout \u2013 whether it is how entitlement to benefits is determined, a more just review and appeals system, or our decision to remove the private sector from disability benefit assessments.\n\u201cDignity and respect is at the heart of our social security policy-a marked contrast to the approach that the current UK Government is taking, as their unjust welfare cuts continue to cause misery, push more people into poverty and attract international criticism.\n\u201cI look forward to working with colleagues across the Chamber, the Expert Advisory Group and our Experience Panels to make choices that work for Scotland, to reinstate fairness into the social security system and to listen to people throughout the process.\u201d\nThe Social Security (Scotland) Bill is available online\nThe Bill sets out an over-arching legislative framework for the administration of social security in Scotland, making provision for operational functions such as overpayments, fraud, error, re-determinations and appeals.\nIt places a duty on the Scottish Ministers to give assistance to persons who are entitled to it and provides a brief description of each type of assistance that Scottish Ministers will give. Secondary legislation will provide detail on what assistance will be available and how the system will work. This will follow once the Bill has been agreed by the Parliament. The legislation is expected to come into force within the current Parliamentary term.\nThe first social security payments to be delivered by the Scottish Government from summer 2018 will be the increased Carer\u2019s Allowance, followed by the Best Start Grant and the Funeral Expense Assistance from summer 2019.\nThe full list of the eleven benefits being devolved to Scotland can be viewed on the Scottish Government website. 10 of the 11 devolved benefits, totalling around \u00a32.9 billion of annual payments, will be delivered directly by the new social security agency itself. Discretionary Housing Payments will be delivered by local authorities.",

        "raw_content": "Oh no, how did this happen? Where do I go from here?\nI've got entertainment overload. Too many options are piling up and no more time in a day. This shouldn't have happened, but I let it.\nPlus, I can see where it will lead. I'm going to have wires everywhere. Eventually there's going to be excess wires. Something's going to get forgotten, a link will break in the chain sometime. And what is a working network of interwoven entertainment sources will eventually sit in shambles. Just last night the batteries died in one of my remotes.\n\"One of my remotes,\" it's enough to make me scream. There's so many remotes scattered around the house, they're like cockroaches, which, thankfully, I don't actually have. But if I did, they'd each have their own remote to sleep under. I just got another few remotes in the last few days, including one last night!\nI've joined the good times crowd in the last few days. Of course I was already a member, pretty much, all this time, since I've kept up, by and large, with the various requirements for membership over the years. But I wasn't part of Netflix, let's say, since I'm not really much of a movie watcher. I like to see a few minutes of a movie when I'm exercising a couple times a day. But once in a while, it's nice to see some old movie. So now I've got that.\nA couple weeks ago, I got a Wii. I never had one before because I haven't been much of a game player. I had a Colecovision in the '80s, but since then, I've let it all slide, till now. So that's all set up. And remarkably, the two go together, the Netflix on one of the TVs runs through the Wii. So you can see there really is a network of sorts, some interdependencies. Naturally, since I have a bedroom, why not get a Netflix ready Blu-Ray player to also pick up the wireless signal and give me a movie or two in there? So I got one of those.\nThen on top of all that, I got a Kindle at Christmas. And I love that, and I'd be reading that if I weren't so busy with this other stuff.\nAnyway, last night I started feeling the jitters of entertainment overload. I knew it was there, creeping up, and now, this morning, I woke up with that terrible sense of regret. Blah. Because somewhere in the back of my mind, I'm the guy who should be sitting at Walden, or a cheap imitation of it, with a lawn chair and a book. So there I am with my lawn chair and book, feeling like I have entertainment overload, at which point I throw away the book and have nothing but the chair.\nI've entered a different realm with all this stuff.\n(By the way, for all the movies Netflix has to stream directly, it really is a kind of piss poor selection. At this point, who still wants to wait for DVDs to show up in the mail? I've never had one in my life yet, but I can already see the drawbacks. Waiting is so ten years ago.)",

        "raw_content": "A Brief History of the Guitar\nPosted by Kai in Feature Articles\nFrom \u2018The Classical Guitar, Its Evolution, Players and Personalities since 1800\u2019\nby Maurice Summerfield\nIn \u201cThe Classical Guitar, Its Evolution, Players and Personalities since 1800\u201d by Maurice J. Summerfield (third edition, 1992, Ashley Mark Publishing Company), Summerfield makes an interesting case for the origin of the Spanish guitar. He argues that it must have descended from the Roman tanbur or cithara brought by the Romans to Spain around 400 AD. At least on the face of it, this view is directly opposed to the more conventional assumption that the guitar\u2019s ancestor was the ud, brought by the Moors after the invasion of Spain during the 8th century. The following is a short discussion taken from that chapter along with my own comments and supplemental information from \u201cLa Guitarra Espa\u00f1ola\u201d, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Prado in Madrid.\nThere is evidence that a four string, guitar-like instrument was played by the Hittites (who occupied a region now known as Asia Minor and Syria) around 1400 BC. It had characteristically soft, curved sides\u2013one of the primary features of anything identifiable as a guitar or predecessor. The Greeks also produced a similar instrument which was later modified by the Romans, though both versions appear to have lacked the curved sides. What is interesting here is that it seems this Roman cithara appeared in Hispania (now known as Spain) centuries before the Moorish invasion.\nIt had long been assumed that it was only after this invasion and the introduction of the Arabic ud in the South that a guitar-like instrument first appeared in Spain. But with the Roman cithara arriving centuries prior, we might say that although the ud influenced the development of the guitar it is not the true ancestor. According to this theory, the Spanish guitar derived from the tanbur of the Hittites, kithara with a \u201ck\u201d of the Greeks and then the cithara with a c of the Romans.\nHowever, I believe that following the arrival of the Moors, the Roman cithara and the Arabic ud must have mixed and exerted mutual influences on one another for many centuries. Although there is no specific documentation that I know of, it is likely that makers of uds and citharas would have seen each other\u2019s work, if only through presentation by traveling troubadours. By 1200 AD, the four string guitar had evolved into two types: the guitarra morisca (Moorish guitar) which had a rounded back, wide fingerboard and several soundholes, and the guitarra latina (Latin guitar) which resembled the modern guitar with one soundhole and a narrower neck.\nIn the late 1400\u2019s, the vihuela was born by adding doubled strings and increasing its size. It was a large plucked instrument with a long neck (vibrating string length: 72 to 79 cm) with ten or eleven frets and six courses. It was the vihuela which became the preferred instrument of the Spanish and Portuguese courts and remained so until the late 1600\u2019s when orchestral and keyboard instruments became more prominent.\nAlthough the guitar existed concurrently during this period, the vihuela and lute had overshadowed it until the end of the 17th century when the lute had acquired too many strings, was too hard to play and tune, and the vihuela was slowly replaced by the four and five course guitars (which had seven and nine strings respectively: one single high string, and three or four remaining courses\u2013or pairs\u2013of strings). It was perhaps the addition of the fifth course in the late 16th century that gave the guitar more flexibility and range and thus improved the potential of the repertoire that led to its ascent.\nBy the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th, some guitars already used six single strings and employed fan struts under the soundboard. These struts were added for structural support to allow thinning of the top for greater resonance and for better distribution of sound across the board. Other contemporaneous developments included the use of a reinforced, raised neck using ebony or rosewood for the fingerboard, and the appearance of machine tuners in place of the wooden pegs. (It is noteworthy that the raised fingerboard had a great impact on the technique of the instrument since the strings were then too far from the soundboard to rest one\u2019s finger on the face for support.) These guitars would be unmistakably recognized by us as early classical guitars.\nBeginning with the early 19th century, in the works of Agustin Caro, Manuel Gonzalez, Antonio de Lorca, Manuel Guiterrez from Spain and other European makers including Rene Lacote, and Johann Staufer, we find the direct predecessors of the modern classical guitar. By 1850, the guitar was prepared for its most important breakthrough since its inception, the work of Antonio Torres Jurado. With the encouragement of Julian Arcas and his own brilliant intuitions, Torres refined the strutting of the guitar to include as many as seven struts spread out like a fan under the soundboard. He increased the body size and the width of the neck considerably. These improvements allowed for greater volume and bass response as well as the development of a left hand technique for richer repertoire. The guitar was now prepared for the demands of the solo performer and the concert stage.\nAlthough there have been continued developments since the middle 1800\u2019s, our modern guitar retains most of what was developed nearly 150 years ago. No one can say if we have reached the end of the evolution of the guitar, but until now, many of the best guitars from the point of view of volume, projection and sheer beauty of tone were made by the great makers, Torres, Ramirez and Arias from the second half of the last century!",

        "raw_content": "Dean Guitars CEO Elliott Dean Rubinson Talks Gigging with Uli Jon Roth, Balancing Life As a Musician\nElliott Dean Rubinson is known in the music industry as \"the boss who rocks.\" He's the CEO and owner of Dean Guitars, ddrum and Luna Guitars. He's also a world-class bassist who has toured with Michael Schenker, Michael Angelo Batio and Uli Jon Roth.\nWe recently sat down with Elliott to talk about his career and current projects.\nGUITAR WORLD: What was it like the first time you picked up a bass?\nIn junior high we had a band, and everyone played guitar. Since I was the worst, I was threatened to be ousted unless I'd switch to bass. Since I had zero money, I took the high strings off the guitar and played bass on my Kimberly electric guitar that barely worked.\nThe day finally came when I went into New York City and picked up a Beatle bass copy and plugged it in, and the sound was immediately addicting. Then it was time to save up for the bass amp. With the singer's mic plugged into the bass amp, we were off!\nWhat would your younger self think if he could see how much you've accomplished?\nNever in a million years did I have aspirations to go this far. If you told me in my teens I would own a world-renowned guitar company and be playing with some of the greatest guitarists on the planet, I never would've believed it. I tell everyone I come in contact with that being successful is all about hard work, focus and drive. Setting that goal, believing in yourself and not letting an opportunity get by you is a recipe for success. When Michael Schenker asked me if I knew a bass player to fill in on a few gigs, I hadn't touched a bass in two decades. If you let an opportunity like that get by you, it might never happen again.\nHow do you balance being a touring musician with the responsibilities of being the owner and CEO of Dean Guitars, ddrum and Luna?\nBalancing touring and running Dean Guitars? Actually, I'm looking for something to do in my spare time. A typical day on the road would be to wake up about 8 a.m., while the other guys are sleeping, and come out to the front lounge and fire up the computer and do five hours of phone calls and emails. The great thing is I can work right up to sound check at 4 p.m. That's the time when I switch hats. It's all about fine tuning the equipment and getting out of business mode and into rock mode. I then have until 10 p.m. to get my game face on. A few of the guys I play with call me Superman. Honestly, I would go crazy with too much free time.\nDean was responsible for making two of the most iconic guitars ever, both for Michael Angelo Batio \u2014 the Double (which is on permanent display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum) and the Quad. What was that design process like?\nDean Guitars made the very first double guitar in the Eighties, and we mastered the technique. People always ask us how we make a case large enough, not realizing the guitar is actually two single guitars that lock together with two pins and a road case twist lock. It's really a clever design, and there is no need to try and improve it in our estimation. The Nitro \"Freight Train\" video always blew me away, between Michael's playing and the quad dropped from the sky, so I asked Michael if he thought it was a good idea to build a 2013 version. The thing is so slick, but it weighs a ton. Michael always relates it to wearing two bowling balls around your neck, but if there is anyone who has the stamina and work ethic to make it happen, it's him. He's an incredible human being.\nOn Batio's new release, Intermezzo, you made an amazing bass contribution to the song \"8 Pillars of Steel.\" How were you involved in that album, and how did you track that part?\nMike called me one day and said he had a song on his new record he felt I'd be perfect for. It would feature a bunch of great guitarists including George Lynch, Dave Reffett, Rusty Cooley, Jeff Loomis, Craig Goldy and more. What an honor to be part of the rhythm section for this \u2014 and to have an eight-bar solo. Believe it or not, I had a friend named Marie Sorenson who brought her portable studio over to Dean Guitars; I took a two-hour break and ran down to our artist lounge and recorded it right there, playing through her Avalon preamp. I really like the tone she got using my Dean \"John Entwistle Hybrid\" bass. The bass is wired in stereo with the neck pickup being passive and the single coil being active.\nddrum is an impressive company as well, with a great artist roster (Vinnie Paul, Carmine Appice, etc.). What does the company hope to bring to drum fans that's unique?\nI've long been a fan of drummers and drums and as a bassist always found I that I had keen eye for certain players. It is a huge honor to have people like the Appice brothers, Vinnie Paul (Pantera, HellYeah), Barry Kerch (Shinedown), Derrick Wright (Adele) in our family. There are a lot of great drum companies out there, but first off ddrums have acoustic and electronic kits plus world-class hardware. We feel we specialize in things other people don't do, like hybrid kits with triggers built in, unique configurations and finishes and, of course, we arguably have the world's best trigger seen on so many pro stages. Last week I did some gigs with Vinnie Appice and it was great to hear how great he made the kit sound!\nWhen you're playing with Michael Angelo Batio, Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth, what is your practice routine, work ethic and schedule like?\nAs you can imagine, my schedule is hectic. I get home at 8 p.m., have dinner and run down to my rehearsal room for an hour's worth of practice. That's about all I can fit in. But honestly there is so much more to preparing for gigs with these guys. Starting at 7 a.m. I try to get a physical workout at least five days a week, either stretching, bike rides, tennis, weights, etc., because when I do double duty with two bands a night, I'm up on stage for close to three hours and if you're not in shape, you're gonna die up there.\nThe practicing is a little tricky and I'll tell you why. Uli has no set list! There are 25 to 35 songs he might call out, depending on how he's feeling and how the crowd is reacting, and I need to be ready for any or all. The Schenker set is much more structured with approximately 18 predetermined songs. Batio's set is also predetermined, but you need to be on your game for that one. If I am playing with two different bands in the same month, there is a fair amount of material to be on top of. Michael Schenker's set is very rehearsed as is Batio's, but Uli prefers to jam and take you to your limits. It's not unusual for him to put his guitar down and walk off stage, leaving us to jam. I feel extremely fortunate to have played around the world with these three amazing guitarists.\nHow do you get gigs with guys of this level?\nObviously, you have to have the chops or they wouldn't be asking. But there's so much more people don't see. The Number 1 thing I try to be is low maintenance. We usually have only one rehearsal before a tour, and I come totally prepared in terms of the material. The last thing these guys want to do is stop to show you a part. Not good. I make sure I have backup basses, strings, etc., and I make sure I'm ready for any potential equipment issues.\nI have a pedal board that fits in my suitcase, complete with my wireless receiver, and all I have to do is run one cable and plug it in. I am ready in two minutes and never want to hold up anyone. Obviously being entertaining on stage, having the proper stage clothes, etc., is part of it. There is really an inner-circle of musicians a lot of these guys know about and use, and I do everything I can to remain in it!\nI'm all about rock-solid bass. I am going to lay down a foundation with the drummer that is going to make the guitarist feel comfortable soloing over it, as opposed to trying to be a lead bassist. I am really enjoy playing with Batio because he encourages you to improvise and expand your abilities. Every bass player would love this.\nDean is interesting in that it has legacy artists like Leslie West in addition to newer artists like Jacky Vincent. How has Dean been able to accomplish this, and what's next for the company?\nGrowing up as a bassist, I loved some of the guys like Leslie West, Schenker, Roth, Vinnie Moore, etc., and I wanted to make sure these guys became the cornerstone of what we were doing because, let's face it, these are the guitarists who influenced everyone of our generation.\nMore than once I've looked on the side of the stage or in the audience, and Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield came out to see Schenker or Roth. These guys know what an inspiration some of the Dean artists are. That said, there are some great new guitarists who we are proud to have in the family, like Jacky Vincent or Zoltan of Five Finger Death Punch. We want to stay relevant to all ages, and I think when guys like this see how we treat our artists and how easy it is to work with Dean Guitars, they tell their peers and in turn they come to talk with us. I'm very proud of what we have built here in Florida.\nWhat advantage do you think Dean has over its competitors?\nThe Number 1 thing is the fact that our company is a band of great musicians who love to be surrounded by music and instruments. There are so many gigging musicians here who road test the instruments on stage and report back. This is invaluable.\nJust being able to make instruments that are balanced correctly, play properly and sound great cannot be done strictly in the corporate world. In addition, some of our competitors simply cannot make decisions and changes as nimbly as we do. We can sit down with an artist and make the decision to do a signature guitar for him on the spot. No board meetings, no voting, no two-month lag. Just a, \"Yes, we can do this.\" I see this as being a huge advantage.\nDean is well represented around the world. Is this something the company is always working on? New countries and new territories?\nDean Guitars has distributors around the world covering Europe, Australia, South America, the Pacific Rim, etc. That said, we do have countries where we don't have the representation we'd like. For instance, we get a lot of calls from people looking for our high-end U.S. guitars from our artists like Dave Mustaine or Dimebag Darrell. They get frustrated because these guitars are just not everywhere as we only build 500 pieces a year, and typically the limited-run pieces are pre-sold. With the world becoming a smaller place, it is getting a bit easier to find what customers are looking for from Dean.\nI've seen you refer to Dean's more high-end guitars, like the Sky, in interviews. What is Dean's strategy for pleasing all of its customers \u2014 from the kid who wants an inexpensive introductory model, all the way up to the guy who wants a $7,000 custom shop \"Ferrari\"?\nI think Dean Guitars has the widest range of product offerings of any guitar company. Uli Jon Roth's Sky, which is the most sophisticated guitar on the planet, is a $13,000 machine, while we offer entry level guitars for $99. Something else a lot of people don't know is that acoustic guitars, bluegrass instruments and basses are a large part of our business, offering things like 12-string basses, Aphex-equipped acoustic guitars and specialty instruments like six-string banjos.\nOf course, we are super proud of our iconic Dean \"V\" headstock that you can spot from 100 yards away, which is arguably one of the most famous headstocks of all time. But we are very pleased we can accommodate the entry level player as well.\nPhoto: Jerry Averill\nDave Reffett is a Berklee College of Music graduate and has worked with some of the best players in rock and metal.

        "raw_content": "Will Harry Jerome's Legacy Inspire Andre De Grasse?\nThe 33rd annual Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome Track Classic honours the career of British Columbia's Athlete of the 20th Century. He held 5 world records in the sprints during the 1960's. Jerome overcome a career ending total tear of his quadriceps muscle at the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth. Australia. Harry achieved a miraculous recovery by extraordinary determination to prove his surgeons wrong. He achieved 2 world records after this injury plus his 1964 Olympic bronze and gold medals at both the 1966 Commonwealth and 1967 Pan American Games. He prematurely died in 1982 of a brain aneurysm. His ability to face extreme challenges and to come back to the top of the world is his greatest legacy.\nWill Harry's legacy stimulate the youth of Canada to reach their potential? Can the Jerome story inspire Andre De Grasse to repeat Harry's historical event 52 years ago of standing on the Olympic podium? In some ways, Andre's and Harry's beginning have some similarities. Both these Canadian athletes burst on to the international stage at an early age. Harry tied the world record in the 100m in 1960 at the Canadian Olympic Trials just out of high school. Andre won the 2015 Pan Am Games gold and World Championship bronze medal at the age of 20 years.\nAndre has stated that he wants to run both the 100m and 200m at he Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome Track Classic at Swangard Stadium. De Grasse comes back from Europe with two wins at the Diamond League in Birmingham and Oslo with seasonal bests of 20.16 and 10.07 seconds respectively.\nHe will face a strong field in the 100m lead by Ryan Bailey of Portland, OR who has run the 100m in 9.88 seconds twice in his career.

Central to those discussions will be setting a price on carbon and its equivalents\u2014a figure that captures the social costs of releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The impacts of those emissions range from the health effects of burning fossil fuels, to inundation and adaptation of coastal cities threatened by rising seas, to extinction of plant and animal species as a consequence of rapidly changing environmental conditions. These costs amount to nearly $1.6 trillion annually worldwide, based on Yale scholars\u2019 estimates of the damages at $44 per metric ton of CO2 and 2013 emissions of 36 billion metric tons.\nAs the no doubt fraught scientific and political discussion in the French capital nears, the work of Morris University Professor Dale Jorgenson, an economist known for his ability to marry theory and practice, is especially important. Jorgenson has studied the factors that drive economic growth, the relationship between energy and the environment, and the effects of tax policy on both. His 2013 book, Double Dividend: Environmental Taxes and Fiscal Reform in the United States, is the first to examine what would happen if revenues from a carbon tax\u2014based on the price of carbon that will be the subject of debate in Paris\u2014were recycled into the nation\u2019s economy. After examining four strategies for deploying the revenue from a carbon tax, Jorgenson and coauthors Richard J. Goettle of Northeastern University, Mun S. Ho, Ph.D. \u201989, a visiting fellow at Harvard\u2019s Institute for Quantitative Social Science, and Peter J. Wilcoxen, Ph.D. \u201989, of Syracuse University, found that one strategy in particular\u2014reducing taxes on capital\u2014leads to an increase in economic efficiency that improves economic well-being despite greater inequality, as well as a decrease in carbon emissions: the \u201cdouble dividend\u201d of the book\u2019s title. Jorgenson has also studied economic growth, energy utilization, and environmental quality in China, the world\u2019s largest emitter of carbon. There, and in other developing countries, he projects a triple dividend, because a carbon tax would also lead to major improvements in human health.\nAs a means of limiting greenhouse gases, a tax on the carbon content of fossil fuels competes with proposals for outright regulations (such as those advanced by the Obama administration) that would limit electric power-plant emissions, and with cap-and-trade systems that let such big polluters trade permits among themselves, always seeking the most efficient means of reducing emissions. No solution to this massive problem will make everyone happy, so the best outcome will involve striking an optimal balance. A carbon tax may do that because it raises revenue, and thus the additional possibility of redeploying those funds in ways that stimulate economic growth.\nHarvard Magazine interviewed Jorgenson in June. An edited version of the conversation appears here.\n~Jonathan Shaw\nHarvard Magazine: The premise of your work is that a carbon tax is a more efficient way of achieving reductions in carbon emissions than any other type of reform, such as cap-and-trade systems or new rules and regulations\u2014like those just proposed by the Obama administration for electricity-generating power plants. Why is that?\nDale Jorgenson: The issue that surfaces when you talk about carbon taxes, that does not apply with cap and trade or rules and regulations, is what to do with the resultingrevenue\u2014because it is the only one that does generaterevenue.\nCap and trade typically involves imposing a cap\u2014a particular level of emissions or an emissions target\u2014and then issuing permits that allow people to collectively achieve this cap by trading the permits. The question is how to allocate those permits. In legislative proposals, permits are given to existing polluters, and then the number is gradually ratcheted down to achieve a more and more stringent target.\nThat leaves out the possibility of generating revenue and using it to offset the impact of the tax (or the permit price, which has the same effect), which has imposed a cost on the economy. So in order to achieve the double dividend\u2014curbing emissions while simultaneously achieving economic growth\u2014you have to collect the tax and recycle the revenue. Then the question is, How do you make use of the revenue? That\u2019s the subject of Double Dividend. We considered a wide range of alternatives, and we ended up recommending that it be used for a capital-tax reduction.\nHM: You compared four options: reducing capital-tax rates on incomes of businesses and individuals; reducing labor tax (i.e. income tax) rates on individuals; proportionally reducing both capital- and labor-tax rates; and, finally, redistributing tax revenues through lump-sum payments to individuals across the income spectrum.\nJorgenson: Yes, exactly right. The reason that reducing capital- tax rates is the most effective type of revenue recycling is that it has the effect of stimulating investment. In other words, it substitutes capital for the use of energy, as money that is returned to households and businesses in the form of lower capital taxes is used for saving and investment, rather than for expenditures on energy. The idea is to reduce the emissions from the use of energy by raising its cost. And capital, when deployed in place of energy, makes it possible in fact to improve the performance of the economy. That\u2019s the basic idea. You might ask, why doesn\u2019t reducing labor tax [income tax] rates do the same thing? The answer is that labor-tax reduction affects people\u2019s decisions about labor supply\u2014when income taxes are lower, people work more and take less leisure time, and they consume more, too, while saving and investing less, and that turns out to produce a less favorable impact.\nHM: Are you saying that when individual workers\u2019 income-tax rates are reduced, they increase the amount of time that they work in order to consume more? And this in turn lowers capital formation, slightly hurting savings and investment?\nJorgenson: Yes, that\u2019s right.\nHM: There are probably hundreds of books on carbon taxes. What do they overlook?\nJorgenson: They don\u2019t have the framework needed to analyze this issue of recycling the revenue. So that\u2019s the problem that we solved. We put a lot of effort into it.\nHM: Isn\u2019t reducing capital taxes on property such as stocks somewhat regressive, with fewer benefits for people at the lower end of the income scale?\nJorgenson: Yes, that\u2019s exactly what we show. But on the other hand, the double dividend consists of a range of policies that enable you to simultaneously improve economic performance and reduce pollution. That involves separating the overall impact, which we call welfare, or people\u2019s overall well-being, into efficiency and equity. Taxing energy and reducing the cost of capital leads to large gains in the efficiency of the economy overall, as goods and services are produced less energy-intensively. For society as a whole, you end up with a positive impact on economic well-being because the large gain in the efficiency of the economy outweighs the increase in inequality. Taxing energy and reducing the cost of capital leads to large gains in the efficiency of the economy overall, as goods and services are produced less energy-intensively.\nHM: So because everyone gains when the economy performs better, both rich and poor would benefit on an absolute basis, but the rich would be relatively even better off?\nJorgenson: Not everyone would benefit, but higher economic growth as a result of the investment would have a positive impact on economic well-being through greater efficiency.\nHM: If the U.S. economy were projected to grow 2 percent annually, adding the carbon tax and recycling revenue as you project would lead to annualized growth in GDP of 2.2 to 2.4 percent?\nJorgenson: Yes, it\u2019s a big gain.\nHM: On the order of 10 to 20 percent faster growth, if annual growth in GDP were 2 percent?\nJorgenson: Right. Gross domestic product is a measure of efficiency. But it doesn\u2019t take into account equity\u2014the differences in the way the benefits are distributed according to income, and therefore is not a measure of any particular household\u2019s overall well-being, or welfare. The impact on equity matters, therefore it\u2019s very important to consider both efficiency and welfare.\nThe Cost of Carbon\nHM: You consider a range of carbon taxes from $10 to $50 per ton. What is the optimal price?\nJorgenson: That\u2019s a very important issue. The way economists usually approach it is to ask, \u201cWhat would be the price in an international agreement where everybody in the U.S., in China, in Europe, and so on, had to pay the same price to mitigate carbon pollution?\u201d\nThe answer has been worked out in great detail by many economists, but probably the most prominent is [William D.] Bill Nordhaus, [Sterling professor of economics] at Yale. He comes up with a price of about $30, right in the middle of the range of prices that we\u2019ve considered.\nThat\u2019s optimal for trading off carbon emissions against the growth of the world economy. In other words, this level of taxation leads to a significant reduction in carbon pollution, without imposing too high a cost on global economic growth.\nHM: That would raise about $150 billion of revenue in the United States\u2014a lot, although not a large percentage of either GDP or the national budget. But what about the impact on individuals? Your book suggests that beyond a carbon tax rate of $20 per ton, the poorest households begin to experience small losses in overall welfare because as energy prices rise, they\u2019ll have to pay proportionally more of their total income for essential heating costs and fuel for electricity and transportation.\nJorgenson: The question is, What are you trying to achieve? You want a lower level of carbon in the atmosphere so that you can avoid global warming. That affects all individuals in the same way because everybody\u2019s exposed to the effects of climate change. So you have to ask yourself, what is the optimal rate for everybody, for the whole world economy? And so Nordhaus in his book, The Climate Casino, ends up with a path that\u2019s right in the middle of those we consider. He discusses how an international agreement would work, and what the carbon-price regime would mean for the world economy.\nHM: How much carbon does the U.S. emit now?\nJorgenson: In 2000, emissions were around 5 billion metric tons. And in 2010, considerably less. Since around 2005, emissions have decreased by something like 13 percent. Part of that is the result of the economic downturn and the slow recovery, but a very important part is due to the unexpected availability of large amounts of natural gas from fracking\u2014hydraulic fracturing to release gas and oil captured in subterranean rock formations (see \u201cFracking\u2019s Future,\u201d January-February 2013, page 24). That has resulted in a massive substitution within the electric-utilities sector away from coal, toward natural gas, as a fuel. The carbon-intensity of natural gas is about one-half that of coal\u2014so that\u2019s had a huge impact as the plants that can be converted to burn gas (and most can be converted easily) have been converted at a prodigious rate to reduce the amount of coal that\u2019s used.\nOne of the big questions about the Obama administration\u2019s proposal to regulate power-plant emissions is, how much will this policy actually do? We\u2019ve already had this 13 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, due to the substitution of natural gas. The administration is talking about a 30 percent reduction between 2005 levels and those in 2030, 15 years from now. Over that period, we could have another very substantial substitution [simply because natural gas is so cheap], and in fact do away with a lot of the coal that we\u2019re using simply due to market forces.\nThese coal plants are generally close to the end of their economic lifetimes, in many cases. A lot of them were built during the boom period before the energy crisis of 1973. And so a lot of substitution from coal to natural gas, wind, or solar power will take place anyway, likely leading to a reduction in emissions from that effect.\nSo a reduction of the sort the administration is talking about is certainly within the realm of feasibility already\u2014it\u2019s not going to destroy the economy or cause major economic disruptions.\nHM: What impact does a tax on carbon of $30 per ton have on the cost of a gallon of gasoline or home heating oil?\nJorgenson: A tax of $30 per metric ton of carbon dioxide is equivalent to a tax of 24.4 cents per gallon of gasoline.\nToward International Agreement\nHM: Do you examine the effects of a carbon tax only on the United States, or are you thinking about the international realm, too?\nJorgenson: We\u2019re thinking about a situation where the U.S. is part of an international agreement. The context is that a series of about 20 international negotiations has taken place annually since the initial Conference of the Parties [COP 1] in Berlin in 1995, including the very important meeting in 1997 in Kyoto, resulting in the Kyoto Protocol. That proposed international agreement unfortunately did not attract the support of a large range of countries [including the United States, which signed but didn\u2019t ratify it] and didn\u2019t have much of an impact, but it has represented world climate policy until now.\nThe Kyoto Protocol expires in 2020, and the target for this international negotiating body is to reach a new agreement in Paris in 2015\u2014next year. So their goal is to have a proposal like the ones in Nordhaus\u2019s book ready for discussion in Paris, and to include a carbon price that could be used as a basis for an international agreement that would attract a much broader base of support: the U.S., China, Europe. It\u2019s much more likely now to actually produce some kind of international consensus, as the economic costs of climate change have become clearer. I\u2019m sure a lot of people will be left out, but I think there\u2019s going to be a much broader basis for agreement.\nThis is critical because unless you get the major polluters to agree, you\u2019ll have \u201cleakage\u201d: the nations that don\u2019t agree won\u2019t have to impose any kinds of limits on emissions, with the result that economic activity will leak away from the countries that do impose the taxes to countries that do not. Economists refer to that risk as the free-rider problem. The purpose of these international agreements is to prevent free riding, to avoid leakage.\nHM: You\u2019ve worked in China for a decade, and last year wrote [with Mun Ho and Jing Cao, Ph.D. \u201907, an associate professor of environmental economics at Beijing\u2019s Tsinghua University] about the economics of environmental policies there [see chapter 9 in Clearer Skies Over China, Reconciling Air Quality, Climate, and Economic Goals, co-edited by Ho and Harvard China Project executive director Chris Neilsen]. What is happening in China?\nJorgenson: China has recently become the world\u2019s largest carbon polluter. Until three years ago, the U.S. was.\nHM: China manufactures goods for countries around the world because they can do so more cheaply. Is this exacerbating carbon pollution?\nJorgenson: They are polluting on our behalf. About 80 percent of their energy supply is from coal. They use some oil, mainly for transportation, almost no natural gas. They want to move away from using coal, but right now, their economy is very coal-intensive, especially their system for generating electricity.\nChina has very modest oil resources and almost no domestic natural gas. That doesn\u2019t mean they couldn\u2019t develop it, but in terms of what they actually produce, most of their domestic resources are now based on coal. They mine a lot, and they import coal from Australia, Indonesia, and other places.\nIn our work there, we\u2019ve been trying to design a system of taxes and revenue recycling that would enable the Chinese to participate in an international agreement and still continue their program of rapid economic development. Their traditional approach to economic policy has been to focus on growth, and they\u2019ve had spectacular success since 1978, with the great reforms of Deng Xiaoping. They want to be convinced that it\u2019s possible to reduce their pollution and simultaneously maintain economic growth. So that\u2019s been the focus of our research.\nWe have a model of the Chinese tax system, just like the model of the U.S. system in Double Dividend, and we trade off a carbon tax against the other taxes that are used in China. In fact, China relies more on business taxes than we do, so there\u2019s a big payoff using an approach that involves revenue recycling.\nIndia has a very coal-intensive economy, too. They\u2019re operating at a different level than the Chinese, with about half the level of GDP per capita, but their electricity generation is very coal-intensive, and they need to consider similar policies.\nThe starting point for these policies would be an internationally agreed-upon price for carbon, imposed by each individual country and used as a basis for generating revenue within that country. That way there\u2019s no international transfer of funds. And each country would choose its own revenue-recycling policy, depending on how the energy sector would respond to changes in the labor and capital taxes that we\u2019ve been discussing.\nThese are major differences from the Kyoto climate treaty, and should prove to be key inducements to reaching a consensus: each country could make its own choice, determined on the basis of domestic considerations, not international ones. What would be agreed upon internationally would be the carbon price\u2014that\u2019s what Nordhaus\u2019s book is about.\nHM: What would induce the Chinese to participate?\nJorgenson: To put it very simply, China has a severe problem of conventional air pollution. It has nothing to do with carbon. It has to do with sulfur dioxide, particulates\u2014in other words, components of smoke.\nThis has a huge impact on health. There are lots of sick people, there are lots of premature deaths\u2014it\u2019s a very costly policy. They\u2019ve been talking for years about what to do. It turns out that by using a carbon tax, you can control air pollution very effectively if the economy relies, as China\u2019s does, on coal\u2014because most of the dirt in the air, whether it\u2019s sulfur dioxide or the particulates in smoke, is due to combustion of coal. It turns out that by using a carbon tax, you can control air pollution very effectively if the economy relies, as China\u2019s does, on coal.\nBy the way, even though the Chinese get a lot more publicity, the conditions are equally bad in India. And in both countries, the effect of imposing an internationally agreed-upon carbon tax would be to deal with the domestic air pollution problems in a very effective way. That\u2019s what we show.\nFor the United States, on the other hand, given our relatively high standards and a long-established policy of controlling air pollution, such benefits are long since exhausted. We have relatively clean air. We can certainly improve it, but it\u2019s nowhere near as dirty as the air in China and India.\nHM: Would a carbon tax obviate the need for regulations like the Clean Air Act, or substitute for some of them? Or would they just be layered on top of each other?\nJorgenson: The latter. In other words, I think that the carbon tax would be focused on climate policy in the U.S., and would have relatively modest impact on the other pollutants. Let me just say that I\u2019ve had an opportunity to revisit the Clean Air Act amendments and they look even better in terms of effectiveness than they did 10 years ago. It was an expensive way to proceed, but it was very effective, and produced a lot of health benefits in this country. That\u2019s still a frontier in Chinese environmental policy, and in India. They don\u2019t have these kinds of regulations, and the result is that they have very dirty air and very severe associated health problems.\nHM: Does your model take into account the possibility of carbon capture and storage [see \u201cFueling our Future,\u201d May-June 2006, page 40]?\nJorgenson: We considered that. Carbon capture and storage is on the drawing boards: the engineering and technology are pretty well understood. But no version to date has achieved any kind of commercial success. For that reason, we represent carbon capture and storage by providing an engineering description, as opposed to our work on other technologies, which is based on looking at the behavior of firms and individuals, and how they react to prices. We have a vast range of data on how people substitute between, say, coal and natural gas, depending on prices, or how electric utilities choose different fuels in response to prices. We have a lot of behavioral information about that we analyze, and Double Dividend puts it all together. We don\u2019t have that kind of information on carbon capture and storage. But we do show how to incorporate that potential development, and certainly it could be analyzed if there\u2019s a serious possibility of a commercially viable version.\nWe\u2019ve tried to study whether, with higher carbon prices, carbon capture and storage would be more attractive. The answer is no. It\u2019s still not commercially viable in the kind of scenarios that we\u2019re talking about.\nWorld Problem, Regional Solutions\nHM: Your book accounts for the health costs of climate change. Given recent science asserting that the West Antarctic ice sheet will inevitably melt, raising the sea level significantly, do you also consider the destruction of coastal cities?\nJorgenson: This is where we hand off the baton to Nordhaus and his colleagues. They have incorporated all the benefits of mitigating climate change, including avoiding property damage and health benefits and so on, in calculating the appropriate carbon price. That is a world problem, because of course if there\u2019s sea-level rise, it\u2019s going to affect coastal areas around the world, not just in the U.S. It\u2019s something you need to address when you\u2019re setting the appropriate carbon price at the world level.\nHM: The choice of how to recycle the revenues from a carbon tax would be in the hands of each country. You\u2019ve found that reducing taxes on capital would produce the best outcome for United States. Might one of the other strategies lead to better outcomes elsewhere?\nJorgenson: Choosing among these different alternatives does not affect the reduction in carbon emissions\u2014the effects of these different taxes are almost uniform. Changing the carbon tax rate has a big effect on abatement, but choosing which recycling option to adopt doesn\u2019t.\nThere will be big differences in economic performance. That\u2019s our basic story. It\u2019s very important that each country consider very carefully how to do the recycling.\nThat\u2019s why we did a very detailed analysis of China, and another very detailed analysis of the U.S., because there are obviously huge differences in the two countries\u2019 economies\u2014and so recycling will make a big difference. Given China\u2019s existing environmental regime and the fact that the air is so dirty, they get a very substantial non-climate benefit from imposing a carbon tax, too. As I mentioned, in the U.S., this benefit is relatively modest.\nHM: So a triple dividend for China?\nJorgenson: That\u2019s exactly right. Better economic performance, control of climate change, and improved quality of the air.\nHM: Would every country experience at least a double dividend?\nJorgenson: Yes, because carbon taxes have a relatively similar effect in advanced countries, which are by and large pretty energy-intensive. The effects in Europe, in Canada, in Japan are going to be similar to those in the United States.\nBut of course the mix of fuels used to generate electricity differs from one country to another. People in Europe, for example, use a lot of coal. In Japan, they use a relatively modest amount of coal. They rely much more heavily on imported natural gas and a little bit on imported petroleum.\nSumming up, if you think about countries at different levels of development\u2014China, India, the United States\u2014the differences are enormous in terms of the impact. Leaving the determination of the recycling strategy to each individual country makes sense because of these differences in levels of development, and also because of the nature of the energy sector and the way electricity is generated.\nHM: But in each country, a tax and revenue recycling would be superior to something like cap and trade?\nJorgenson: Exactly. The reason is that the only way to achieve a double dividend is to have a tax that will control pollution and to use the revenue to mitigate the impacts on economic performance: achieving both improved economic performance and the control of pollution with the same policy.\nHM: Do you recommend any accommodations for the distributive problems that arise when reducing taxes on capital, since those who have lots of property would benefit most? Or do you think it\u2019s not a problem overall?\nJorgenson: The ruling principle in introductory economics is that you endorse policies only if everybody\u2019s better off. Unfortunately, that doesn\u2019t take you very far on climate policy. So we introduced the idea of a social-welfare function that captures the impact on individual welfare: we weighed the impact on equity against the impact on efficiency to determine the net impact on welfare.\nWe are convinced that distributional considerations are important. Every country should be looking at both the equity and the efficiency impacts. You\u2019re not going to get a story about climate policy that makes everybody better off\u2014so you\u2019re going to have to figure out how to find a balance. You\u2019re not going to get a story about climate policy that makes everybody better off\u2014so you\u2019re going to have to figure out how to find a balance.\nWe spent a lot of time on that issue because it\u2019s so central to climate change. Why? The answer is that poor households spend a much larger fraction of their income on energy, either directly or indirectly, in the form of energy-intensive goods.\nEverybody needs to heat the house, everybody needs to have transportation, and therefore equity has got to be included in the story. That itself is unfamiliar, even to many economists. How do you incorporate equity into the evaluation of a policy? Governments will have to weigh it off against efficiency. We view that as central\u2014not something that can be simply set aside.\nHM: The new rules governing power plants proposed by the Obama administration are presumably not necessarily the most economically efficient way of controlling emissions. Why choose this approach?\nJorgenson: A little bit of history helps here. President Obama tried to pass a national cap-and-trade system in 2009, and unfortunately failed to attract any Republican support. In the final House vote, there were altogether four Republicans in favor. All of the support was from Democrats. And when this legislation went to the Senate, they couldn\u2019t even get to the point of taking a vote, even though the chamber was controlled by Democrats.\nSo now the president is taking an indirect approach, relying on the Clean Air Act.\nThe regulatory approach sets percentage caps for one industry only: the electric-generating industry. That industry generates about 35 percent of the greenhouse-gas pollution in the United States. So you\u2019re focusing specifically on that industry, and setting caps for every state except for Vermont, which has no fossil-fuel generation.\nThe traditional rationale for cap and trade is that all the polluters, through trade [in emissions permits], will end up paying the same cost for pollution. In other words, they will pay the same price to emit a ton of carbon. The new Obama proposal rules that out. It says that the price of permits is going to be different in every single state jurisdiction. That means it\u2019s a cap-and-trade system imposed by regulation: one that essentially goes against the rationale for the cap-and-trade system in the first place. The whole cap-and-trade theory, originally, was to have a national system where everybody pays essentially the same price\u2014and to have the same principle apply at the international level: namely, that you could have a system of caps that would be determined for individual countries by agreement, and then a system of internationally tradable permits.\nThat seems to me to be rather unlikely. It\u2019s much more likely that countries could agree on a carbon price than that they could agree on a system of caps that differs like this one does among states.\nIt\u2019s worth noting that under the Obama proposal, cap and trade is only one option. Other options that could be used by individual states to meet their targets\u2014it\u2019s up to them to choose\u2014would be more renewable energy, more conservation (use less energy), and even the possibility that states could choose to impose a carbon tax.\nNo states have done that in the United States, but there are countries that have a carbon tax in Europe, such as Ireland, Sweden, and Norway. The province of British Columbia, in Canada, also has one. But none of these taxes so far focus on recycling the revenue, on integrating the tax with the rest of the fiscal system. That\u2019s the frontier.\nFundamentally, this Obama proposal is very much like the Clean Air Act: it\u2019s an inefficient way of achieving a desirable objective. At the moment, it\u2019s being offered without the framework of an international agreement. We\u2019re a long way from achieving an international agreement that would replace Kyoto, and we\u2019re going to hear a lot about this as the Paris negotiations approach.\nHM: Will Obama\u2019s regulatory framework outlast his presidency?\nJorgenson: Environmental regulations are very rarely rolled back. If enacted, it\u2019s very likely that this regime will remain in place, just as the relatively inefficient approach in the Clean Air Act remains in place.\nHM: If negotiators in Paris can agree on a price that reflects the cost of emitting a ton of carbon, what happens next?\nJorgenson: As the international agreement unfolds over the period between now and, say, 2020, when the Kyoto Protocol is scheduled to be replaced, every country should be doing this kind of analysis of revenue-recycling and of the potential ancillary health benefits. They\u2019ll have to if they\u2019re going to try to maintain economic performance while adhering to an international agreement.\nI think that from the political point of view, the fact that taxing carbon is going to produce very substantial conventional improvements in air-pollution control will induce them to participate in an international agreement.\nOnce developing countries understand this, they should be champing at the bit to have an international agreement like this. That\u2019s the thrust of our argument about China. A carbon tax for the emerging economies has these ancillary benefits that are extremely important, and I think will drive an international agreement when we get around to the negotiations.\nHM: How would your proposal for an international price on carbon interact with President Obama\u2019s proposed power-plant regulations?\nJorgenson: There\u2019s a period of public comment on those regulations for at least a year. That takes us very close to the Paris meeting. I think the hope for people who want to use an efficient approach is that a national carbon tax will be enacted in the meantime, replacing the proposed regulatory regime.\nIn other words, Congress will decide in its wisdom to legislate on this issue. I think having the prospect of a relatively inefficient system may stimulate a lot of interest in a carbon tax. There\u2019s already a sub rosa discussion going on in Washington. I think that will surface as this period of public comment unfolds. So I think we\u2019re going to have a big debate over this, and that all of this is going to be resolved in the next 12 to 18 months.\nHM: That\u2019s an extraordinary prediction, given the recent congressional standoffs.\nJorgenson: I\u2019m quite optimistic.

        "raw_content": "Real-life story - Felicity Carroll\nFelicity has just qualified and is excited to be kick starting her career as an prosthetist/orthotist!\nFelicity Carroll Prosthetist and orthotist\nEmployer or university St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust\nHow did you become an allied health professional?\nI originally wanted to be a vet! However, after I\u2019d done some work experience in this area I realised it wasn\u2019t for me, but I did know that I wanted a career that allowed me to help people.\nI was good at maths and science at school and was always very practical so I knew I wanted to do a degree that let me play to my strengths, and prosthetics and orthotics does just that! It\u2019s the perfect combination of being able to care for your patients, often at a vulnerable time in their lives, as well as incorporating all the things about maths and science that I enjoyed at school.\nWhen I applied for university, I was 100% sure that prosthetics and orthotics was the choice for me, so much so that it was the only course I applied to. I knew that prosthetics and orthotics had everything I was looking for.\nWhat made you decide to become an allied health professional?\nI looked at various different health professions when it came to applying for university, but once the prosthetics and orthotics course took my eye, that was it and my choice was made.\nI think what drew me to the degree and the career was that it uses such a variety of skills. The work has such a range, from interacting with patients and providing that all important one-to-one care, to all the technical aspects such as fitting a prosthetic, fixing a brace or working with biomechanics to make sure everything is aligned properly.\nI\u2019ve always been one for getting stuck in with a bit of everything and prosthetics and orthotics gives me the chance to do that every day!\nIt\u2019s a really exciting time to be working in prosthetics and orthotics as there is more and more technology available.\nI\u2019ve just graduated but I\u2019ve already had amazing experience working as a prosthetist and orthotist. My degree has been great in preparing me for the world of work as I\u2019ve done four different placements in a range of different settings, which has allowed me to gain valuable experience.\nOne of my placements was in a respite care unit, another was at Headley Court working with military veterans, where I was able to see the full rehabilitation process of some patients. Another placement was at The London Prosthetics Centre which really opened my eyes to the high tech equipment available in our industry. My final placement was at Stockport NHS Trust where I learnt extensively about body-bracing systems, including how to deal with unstable fractures safely.\nThe academic side of university was really interesting too and gave me the foundation to step into work and put into practice all that I've learned. There are so many engaging lectures in a range of subjects such as anatomy and biomechanics. We also did roughly two days of practical learning a week which was great and kept things fresh. This included patient assessments with professional patients who have been working with the university for a long time to help us get the most out of our time with them.\nWhen you\u2019re working, you see patients every day and this can range from a 20 minute assessment to a longer 45 minute session when you really get to know the patients and their needs. You also get to work with a wide variety of healthcare professionals ranging from physios and occupational therapists to nurses and surgeons who may seek your advice when performing an amputation.\nThere are so many things I love about my job, it\u2019s hard to pinpoint one thing as the best. I love how no two days are the same. You get to work in so many different scenarios and the treatment and care you provide is different for every patient that you see, which really keeps you on your toes. You have to adapt and think outside the box which is challenging at times but always keeps things exciting.\nIt\u2019s also a really exciting time to be working in prosthetics and orthotics as there is more and more technology available. For example, the NHS is providing more funding for children to get fitted with blades for sports and activities and for adults to have access to micro-processor knees.\nThe people, both the patients you see and the team you work with, make the job really interesting. Working as a prosthetist/orthotist is also such a collaborative role. You\u2019re working within a multidisciplinary team, which means there\u2019s always something more to learn and expand your knowledge base. You also get to see so many different patients with a range of different needs. The role is not just about treating the patients physically but also psychologically; it\u2019s how you treat them as people that can really make a difference and means they leave happy.\nGoing further/next steps\nI\u2019ve just graduated and started my first job so it\u2019s all new at the moment. But I\u2019m excited to be kick starting my career as a prosthetist/orthotist. I will be working at Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton and I\u2019m really lucky as I will be working in both roles.\nI imagine that further down the line I will specialise, but for now I\u2019m excited about being able to explore all my options!",

        "raw_content": "Roles in the dental team\nEntry requirements and training (dentistry)\nThis page has information on the entry requirements and training needed for a career in dentistry.\nBecoming a dentist involves at least five years\u2019 study at dental school, followed by one or two years of supervised practice. There is intense competition for places at dental schools. Most entrants will require three As at A-level, although one year pre-dental courses are offered by some dental schools which broadens access to other students.\nIf you decide to train as a dentist, as well as meeting academic entry requirements, you\u2019ll need a willingness to learn about human anatomy and oral disease. All members of the dental team are now required to learn this to an extent. However, a dentist\u2019s knowledge is required to be especially thorough. Throughout your career, scientific knowledge will need to be updated as methods and theories of disease change.\nYou\u2019ll need to be able to put patients at ease, gain their confidence and deal sympathetically with their fears. You will hold a position of trust, so you will need to behave with integrity, tact and understanding. You will need to be able to communicate well with everyone from toddlers to the elderly.\nIt\u2019s also important for you to be able to lead your team effectively, so good managerial and administrative skills are essential.\nDental education comprises three stages:\nundergraduate dental education\npostgraduate dental training\nTo qualify as a dentist you must complete five years' training for a degree at university. You will spend much of the five years learning practical skills as well as attending academic lectures and seminars. You will get experience of a range of hospital and community clinics where you will treat patients under close supervision.\nFinancial support while studying at university\nFind out about financial support while studying dentistry at university\nThis comprises dental foundation training, dental core training and specialist training.\nOnce you have successfully completed your undergraduate dental education, you will need to register with the General Dental Council (GDC) so that you can practise as a qualified dentist. As soon as you have registered with the GDC and throughout your career, you will need to undertake continuing professional development to be allowed to continue to practise.\nThe General Dental Council (GDC)\nThe GDC sets the standards for UK dental education at undergraduate and postgraduate level. It publishes its requirements on the content and scope of undergraduate dental degree programmes (and of dental hygiene, dental therapy and dental nursing courses).\nAll new degree programmes and courses must meet these requirements and be GDC-approved.\nFind out more about studying dentistry at university.",

The 44-year-old Qatari national praised Allah as U.S. District Judge Michael Mihm sentenced him Thursday to eight years and four months in federal prison, slightly less than half the 15 years sought by federal prosecutors for his ties to al-Qaida.\nAfter eight years of not knowing, Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri got what he wanted - a sense of when he could return home.\nThe 44-year-old Qatari national praised Allah as U.S. District Judge Michael Mihm sentenced him Thursday to eight years and four months in federal prison, slightly less than half the 15 years sought by federal prosecutors for his ties to al-Qaida.\nThe judge said he was compelled to give consideration to that time spent in military custody - the government had opposed that - saying it was necessary \"in order to reflect respect for the law and reflect just punishment.\"\n\"We are defined as a people by how we deal with difficult and unpopular legal issues,\" he said.\nHowever, the judge also acknowledged comments by a prosecutor who said al-Marri failed to renounce al-Qaida after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.\nMihm said he believed al-Marri was a risk \"to re-associate with the people who brought him here.\"\nAndy Savage, one of al-Marri's attorneys, said that with about two years served in civilian custody and because federal prisoners can earn up to 54 days each year of \"good-time\" credit, al-Marri could get out of prison in about five years.\n\"He's very, very happy,\" Savage said several hours after the hearing and after he talked to members of al-Marri's family. \"His faith in the American justice system and the Constitution were fulfilled.\"\nAl-Marri pleaded guilty in April to providing material support to al-Qaida, in that he volunteered to come to the United States just before Sept. 11, 2001, and participate in an as-yet undetermined mission for the terrorist organization.\nIn an emotional eight-minute statement, al-Marri vowed he would never again wish harm upon the American people. Speaking with a heavy accent, he often broke down in tears, especially when talking about his children or his wife.\n\"My religious beliefs - refined through years of thoughtful prayer and study during my incarceration - I realize prohibit me from engaging in violence toward any man. I forcefully reject any sort of violence for religious, political or other reasons,\" he said.\nHis shoulders shrugged greatly and he paused often as he talked about missing key moments of his children's lives including, \"the first words of his youngest child.\"\nAl-Marri praised his legal team and called Savage and his wife, Cheryl, his \"brother and sister.\"\nMihm's sentence of 100 months reflects a 71-month reduction from the 15-year maximum for the time spent at a U.S. Naval brig in South Carolina, time the federal Bureau of Prisons had indicated it would not credit al-Marri for.\nThe judge further reduced the sentence by nine months to reflect the harsh conditions and the lengthy isolation al-Marri underwent during his 5 1/2 years at the brig where he was held without charges as an \"enemy combatant.\"\nMihm said al-Marri's case posed unique legal questions regarding the indefinite incarcerations of enemy combatants. The case also could reverberate beyond Peoria's federal courthouse, as detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, possibly use this sentence as a way to argue for less time in custody.\nOver the two-day sentencing, defense attorneys argued al-Marri was a changed man, one who had rejected terrorism and disavowed violence.\nA video was also played showing an interview last year with one of al-Marri's older brothers and featuring his children reading school lessons aloud, playing soccer and riding bikes. As the images were shown on the screen, al-Marri put his head in his hands on the table. Afterward, he dabbed his eyes and wiped his nose.\nBut prosecutors painted a different picture. Joanna Baltes, an attorney with the Justice Department's counterterrorism division, noting that about two weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, al-Marri who entered the country on Sept. 10, continued to reach out to his al-Qaida superiors.\n\"Well aware of what happened on Sept. 11, he could have disavowed al-Qaida at this point but he continued to try to contact them,\" she said.\nBaltes also disagreed with defense attorneys' statements that al-Marri had no idea what he was doing here or that he was a low-level lackey. Rather, she said, he prepared at terrorist training camps, where he received military training and learned about poisons.\nJudge Mihm agreed.\n\"I don't believe you are a lackey. That would be an insult to your intelligence and to the commitment you made when you came here as a sleeper agent for al-Qaida. I believe that you have not totally rejected what you did, and that you would do it again after you go home, whether here or somewhere else. That remains to be seen,\" the judge said.",

        "raw_content": "NBC hires Paul Azinger to replace Johnny Miller\nNBC hires...\nNBC Sports is hiring Paul Azinger as its lead golf analyst with hopes he can deliver his own brand of sharp, candid observations that made Johnny Miller such a strong presence in the broadcast booth for three decades.\nMiller's last tournament will be the Waste Management Phoenix Open the first weekend in February.\nAzinger already has a steady voice in golf from 10 years at ABC and ESPN, and the last three years at Fox Sports for its USGA events. In a unique arrangement by today's standards, NBC Sports will allow Azinger to retain his role at Fox for the U.S. Open and U.S. Women's Open.\n\"Everyone says I've got big shoes to fill,\" Azinger said. \"I'm not trying to fill anybody's shoes. The challenge is to be yourself. The action is the action. I don't mind being blunt. It doesn't have to be derogatory.\"\nAzinger turns 59 in January, and he will keep plenty busy.\nMiller reduced his schedule in recent years and typically worked only weekends for NBC. Azinger, the 1993 PGA Champion and winning Ryder Cup captain in 2008, is expected to do four days of tournament coverage on Golf Channel and NBC, along with contributing to \"Live from the Masters\" on Golf Channel along Mike Tirico, documentary projects for Golf Channel and some instructional content.\nAnd with the Fox arrangement, he figures to be among the most prominent voices from some of golf's biggest events.\nNick Faldo is the lead analyst for CBS Sports, which has the Masters and PGA Championship and the majority of network coverage of the PGA Tour with 17 other events. Azinger will have the U.S. Open and British Open, two World Golf Championships (Mexico and Match Play), The Players Championship along with the rest of the Florida swing leading up to the Masters, the final two FedEx Cup playoff events, the Ryder Cup every other year and the Olympics every four years.\nAzinger called it the \"role of a lifetime.\"\n\"My wife always said I was good at two things - playing golf and flapping your gums,\" Azinger said.\nAzinger made his broadcasting debut with NBC Sports and golf producer Tommy Roy in\nAzinger made his broadcasting debut with NBC Sports and golf producer Tommy Roy in 1995 when he was recovering from cancer in his left shoulder and helped out the NBC broadcast of the 1995 Ryder Cup at Oak Hill.\nDuring highlights of his 1993 match against Nick Faldo that ended in a draw, Azinger quipped, \"I had cancer and he still couldn't beat me.\"\nAzinger and Faldo, opposing captains in 2008 at Valhalla, were part of a successful experiment when Mark Loomis picked them to be dual analysts in the 18th tower for ABC in 2005. ABC was not part of the tour's network coverage under the next TV contract, and Azinger mostly did the British Open for ESPN.\nFox hired him in 2016 to replace Greg Norman as lead analyst for the U.S. Open.\nAnd now he takes over for Miller, who became famous for saying what he thought without a filter, even if it was offensive to the players.\n\"For nearly three decades, fans tuning into NBC Sports' golf coverage have been accustomed to a lead analyst that told it like it was, and that mantra will continue with Paul Azinger,\" said Molly Solomon, executive vice president of\n\"For nearly three decades, fans tuning into NBC Sports' golf coverage have been accustomed to a lead analyst that told it like it was, and that mantra will continue with Paul Azinger,\" said Molly Solomon, executive vice president of content for Golf Channel. \"Following Johnny Miller is a tall order. However, we're confident in Paul's ability to serve our viewers with candor and sharp insight.\"\nRoy described Azinger as \"one of the most perceptive minds in golf.\"\n\"His innate ability to dissect the action in front of him and convey it to the viewer in such a concise, assured manner is what we value most across our tournament broadcast team,\" Roy said.\nMiller was so good for so long in the booth that a younger generation of viewers had reason to overlook his Hall of Fame career if not for Miller reminding them. He was the first player to shoot 63 in the final round to win a major (1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont) and he won the 1976 British Open among his 25 victories on the PGA Tour.\nAzinger had 12 wins on the PGA Tour, including the 1993 PGA Championship that he won in a playoff over Norman. He was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma later that year, but after intensive treatment with radiation and chemotherapy, returned to win the Sony Open in 2000 and play in the 2002 Ryder Cup.",

        "raw_content": "HENLEY needs more parking spaces to help sustain the town\u2019s economy, says a town councillor.\nStefan Gawrysiak said that an investigation should be carried out into the feasibility of adding a deck to either the Greys Road or King\u2019s Road car parks.\nThis idea has been discussed for years but environmental campaigners say it would be better to encourage people to use public transport or walk.\nCouncillor Gawrysiak was speaking at a meeting of the town council\u2019s transport strategy group, which he chairs.\nHe said it was up to South Oxfordshire District Council, which is responsible for the car parks, to come up with the costings and feasibility of the project and its impact on tourism.\nCllr Gawrysiak said: \u201cFor the economic sustainability of Henley high street I think we will need to investigate a double-decker car park in the centre.\n\u201cWhat we have to do is get the district council to see that this is a desirable direction of travel and come out with full costings and analysis. We have also got to bear in mind that the district council is running a \u00a32million budget deficit per year.\n\u201cWe have to be realistic about asking for a million quid for a car park.\u201d\nCath Adams, planning and project manager at the town council, said the scheme could be put forward for the Future High Streets Fund, a \u00a3675 million pot of cash being made available by the Government to help towns where retailers are struggling. Councillor Will Hamilton suggested creating an underground parking level at the Greys Road car park.\nResident member Ian Clark questioned where cars would be parked if and when construction took place.\nDavid Dickie, of the Clean Air for Henley group, said: \u201cWe have got an air quality problem and I\u2019d rather see out-of-town car parking.\u201d\nHe asked that only electric cars should be allowed to use the new deck, adding: \u201cAt least there might be some benefit from an air quality point of view.\u201d\nPatrick Fleming, treasurer of environmental campaign group Henley in Transition, said: \u201cRather than double decking in the middle of town, how about double decking the long stay car parks?\n\u201cGet them to double deck part of the station car park and that would provide extra car parking without having all the traffic coming into the town centre.\u201d\nDave McEwen, chairman of Henley in Transition, said: \u201cOne of the aims of this group is about reducing the amount of car journeys.\n\u201cIt seems to me that double decking is encouraging the number of car journeys and increasing the pollution in the town.\n\u201cIt would only need a shift of five per cent in the proportion of car journeys and you would make a difference.\u201d\nIn 1994 the district council drew up plans for a deck at the King\u2019s Road car park that would have provided about 100 more spaces but the idea was not followed through. Three years ago, the council budgeted \u00a3700,000 to create a deck at the car park.",

        "raw_content": "\"I was constantly petrified and they\u2019d threatened to kill me and my family if I tried to leave.\"\n\u201cIt was customary in my town in Albania to have an arranged marriage. Although I wanted to make my parents happy, I couldn\u2019t go through with the wedding. Not only because he was a stranger but I already had a boyfriend, Markus, and we were in love.\nAs the wedding approached, we had no other choice but to run away. I packed a bag and we travelled to Kosovo where he had \u201cfriends\u201d we could stay with.\nUnfortunately, as soon as we arrived everything changed. The man I loved, who made me feel safe and who I trusted, betrayed me.\nFor eight months they kept me locked up and I was repeatedly raped by up to ten men every day (including \u201chim\u201d). I was constantly petrified and they\u2019d threatened to kill me and my family if I tried to leave.\nIt was only on the day I escaped that I found out I was in England. The first days were a blur but soon I was referred to Hestia and met Meena my advocate. At the beginning, I was terrified of everything. Going to the doctors, speaking to my solicitor, even going to the shops. I couldn\u2019t trust anybody. Meena was my lifesaver. She was with me every step of the way, encouraging me and telling me I could do it. Slowly with Meena\u2019s support I felt myself coming back. One of the first things I did was learn English.\nTwelve months after joining Hestia I head reached Level 2 of my English class and was attending college to continue my studies in Social Care. Meena also arranged for me to have counselling. I still suffer from panic attacks, anxiety and depression but it\u2019s slowly getting better.\u201d\nHow can you help people like Evie?\nYour unused smartphone transform the lives of people like Evie and other victims of modern slavery.\nRally your colleagues and collect your unwanted smartphone and charger and send them to our head office at London Bridge.

        "raw_content": "92.4% Placement Rate\nLeadership Programs at Hilbert\nHilbert College has crafted a plan promoting a four-year college experience that will bolster student involvement and leadership potential \u2013The Hilbert Blueprint.\nThe Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years. The \u2018blueprint\u2019 begins with the Foundations Seminar \u2013 a key piece to the First-Year Experience, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and concludes with the Senior Capstone.\nAll incoming freshman are required to participate in the First-Year Experience and the Foundations Seminar. This is designed to get all students acquainted with the college experience and includes participation in a minimum of four \u2018passport\u2019 activities on campus. All first year students will participate in the Hilbert College Reads program. Each student will receive a complimentary copy of the year\u2019s selected text and potentially have an opportunity to meet the author.\nStudents are obligated to take one course with a service-learning requirement. Service-learning requirements are unique to each class. In some classes, the entire class may work together on one single project that benefits the community and meets a community need. In other courses, students may be provided the opportunity to complete a service-learning activity by selecting an organization or project from a list of pre-approved community partners and activities. These activities are linked to the classroom curriculum and help meet a need in the community.\nJunior Symposium\nThree professors from different disciplines teach the mandatory Junior Symposium course, which encourages students to follow current events and introduces The New York Times as daily reading. Juniors engage in active debates and student-led discussions, which encourage participants to disagree civilly.\nThe Hilbert College Blueprint culminates with the Senior Capstone. Unique to each department, the capstone could be \u2013 but is not limited to \u2013 a project, internship, or research paper. The Senior Capstone is designed to synthesize the student\u2019s four-year educational experience and support the college\u2019s mission to produce \u2018informed citizens committed to serving and strengthening their communities.\u2019",

To outline the changes ahead, HiQ was assigned by the City of Gothenburg to develop the Stadsutveckling G\u00f6teborg website.\nOver the coming years, Gothenburg will witness some truly profound changes. The city will expand its area by a third until the year 2035, its population will increase by 150,000, and 80,000 new homes and workplaces will be built. To describe and explain in a clear and simple way what these changes mean for the city and its residents, the City of Gothenburg assigned HiQ to create the Stadsutveckling G\u00f6teborg website. Here you can follow Gothenburg\u00b4s journey into the future.\n\"Together with the city of Gothenburg, we have created a dynamic website for the city. HiQ was entrusted with overall responsibility for technology and design, and we have developed an editorial platform that makes life simple for all editors within the city's organisation. The target group is all of us who live in the city, so the solution has, of course, been designed to work on all digital platforms,\" says Jerker Lindst\u00e9n, Managing Director of HiQ in Gothenburg.\nVisitors can access articles, interviews and other information relevant to the city's urban development ambitions.\n\"It makes me proud and happy that we have delivered yet another important assignment that make citizen\u00b4s lives simpler.

        "raw_content": "HOME is a dining concept from chefs Mark Owens and Elizabeth Cottam. The team believes that there\u2019s more to dining out than just great food. Home offers a genuine, warm welcome, a relaxed environment where diners arrive as customers and leave as friends.\nWhat the whole team at HOME love doing most is making people happy. Our aim is to create wonderful dining experiences that our guests will remember fondly forever. This is one of the things that sits right at the heart of what we do. The other is the food our guests eat whilst they are visiting us. We are very proud to be inspired by and serve British produce, some of which is cultivated and some that is foraged.\nEach of our dishes starts off with superb ingredients, selected because it\u2019s their season to shine. We change the menu every month.\nIt\u2019s possibly an unlikely pairing. A former Head Chef of a Michelin star restaurant and a MasterChef contestant, but a shared passion for the same style of food and the desire to create a hugely relaxed and welcoming dining concept has brought the pair together to deliver HOME.\nTheir aim is to build a team of like minded people who love what they do and focus on the things that matter \u2013 namely, the diners and how much they enjoy spending time in their dining room. Mark and Elizabeth\u2019s focus is to create a dining experience that stands out for all the right reasons and that celebrates truly British produce.\nMark began his professional career in the 2 Michelin star Le Gavroche, he went on to work at the one star restaurant at The Star at Harome as sous chef and most recently ran the kitchen as Head Chef at one starred The Box Tree where his team retained the star for yet another year in 2017.\nAfter her appearance on MasterChef (2016), Elizabeth completed a very successful residency at The New Ellington Hotel in Leeds. The three month long restaurant take over allowed her to serve hundreds of diners with some truly outstanding modern British cuisine. Her cooking gained a lot of praise from her diners and generated a long list of 5 star reviews.",

        "raw_content": "Hotel-Online \u00bb News \u00bb Rebranding of Chicago's Public hotel brings back part of famed name: Ambassador\nRebranding of Chicago\u2019s Public hotel brings back part of famed name: Ambassador\nCorilyn Shropshire | Chicago Tribune | July 27, 2017 1:00am\nJuly 27--When Ian Schrager bought the landmark Ambassador East hotel in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood in 2010, the plan of the New York City nightclub owner turned hotelier and real estate developer was to restore the hotel to its original glamour with a modern touch.\nThe restoration and renaming to Public happened, but those go-go days of decades earlier, when the hotel and its Pump Room restaurant was frequented by A-list celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe didn't entirely take off.\nLast year, after a five-year run Schrager, who paid $25 million for the property, sold it to investors Shapack Partners and Gaw Capital for $61.5 million, a price considered less-than-stellar in Chicago's superhot hotel market.\nNow a new hotelier is aiming to do what Schrager didn't. Journal Hotels, which has restored several properties in Los Angeles, has reimagined the hotel and restored part of its name: Ambassador. The company also is bringing back Rich Melman's Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises to reconceptualize the Pump Room, which it ran for 22 years.\nBut it remains uncertain whether the second reboot will be be the charm for a hotel that's not only off the beaten path, but surrounded by a flush of other small, trendy hotels.\nAmbassador is Journal Hotel's first Chicago property -- the company has restored the Hollywood Roosevelt and the MacArthur in Los Angeles, among others.\nThe choice to snap up Public was an easy one for Gaw, because it isn't common that hotels with the history of the Ambassador East come up for sale. Chicago, being a \"strategic market\" with a flush of tourists is an asset, said Stephen Brandman, CEO of Journal Hotels. Journal is part of Gaw.\n\"There are a lot of beautiful things in the hotel,\" Brandman said.\"Everything we're trying to do is bring out reinforce the beauty of the hotel.\"\nThe 285-room Ambassador East opened in 1926. It was a companion to the Ambassador, across the street, which is now a condominium building. The Pump Room followed in 1938 and quickly became a hub for celebrities stopping through town.\nAt the hotel, A-listers often set up residence. Eunice Kennedy's father, Joseph, held an apartment for her there for when she worked in Chicago as a social worker. The likes of Lana Turner, Doris Day and Helen Hayes were famous residents. Journal Hotels hopes to recapture some of that glory.\nSchrager is famous for his sexy-chic hotels such as the Hudson in New York City, where models and moguls mingled in the hotel lobbies. In the 1970s and '80s, he rose to stardom as the force behind New York City hot spots Studio 54 and the Palladium, where stars such as Michael Jackson, Bianca Jagger and Diane von Furstenberg danced and held court.\nWhen Schrager opened Public in 2011, his aim was to make that glamour accessible and friendly to people who aspired to be cool but lacked the star wattage and deep pockets of celebrities.\nBut in Chicago, Public was up against a growing crop of trendy, hipster hotels popping up closer to the hubbub in River North and near North Michigan Avenue. Even though Public had Schrager's reputation behind it, the brand's debut sputtered.\nSchrager's talent is in creating memorable, aspirational and coveted spaces, not operating a hotel, which requires keeping costs down to turn a profit, said Robert Cole, a senior research analyst of hospitality and leisure travel at Phocuswright, a market research firm.\n\"He got the idea that the nightclubs of the '80s would be the hotels of the '90s,\" Cole said. \"Ian is very much into creating environment, but where his hotels fall down is having to keep them up. If you have lambswool that's very cool on your chairs, it's very cool, but keeping it clean can get complicated and expensive.\"\nBrandman is betting he can recapture the hotel's glory with his plans to restore the hotel, beginning with the name change.\n\"We are trying to be respectful to the building and bring back that time that it was at it's height.\"\nPlans include improving the public spaces and installing new elevators, said Brandman, a veteran hotelier who previously was the CEO of Commune Hotels and worked on the development of Hotel Sax and Hotel Lincoln.\nMelman, meanwhile, won't provide any details on plans for the Pump Room, but the \"reconcept\" of the restaurant is expected to debut in the fall.\nLettuce previously ran the space from 1976 to 1998. \"Lettuce has a lot of history at this location,\" Melman said in a statement. \"Our first restaurant here was exciting and so much fun that I'm thrilled to be doing it again in a more modern way.\"\nHistory and glory aside, there's still the matter of attracting guests to the hotel, which has been an uphill battle for the past few owners of the property.\nLifestyle hotels, are \"... just about how people see themselves. (It's) a broad range of customers (who) are looking for an interesting experience,\" Brandman said. \"We want to make it approachable, rather than defining ourselves as a luxury hotel.\"\nAttracting that dynamic is competitive in Chicago, where in recent years several boutique hotels are in busier, trendier neighborhoods than the Gold Coast, which is more posh than party.\n\"The uniqueness of the neighborhood is both a challenge and opportunity,\" said hotel consultant Ted Mandigo.\nIt enables the hotel to command a higher rate, but it also calls for the hotel to be quieter and less vibrant. \"There's a fine line of balance that needs to be achieved,\" he said.\nThat could be tricky for Journal, because as the company aims to keep room rates down and make the hotel more accessible, tighter margins will limit profitability.\nRoom prices at the Ambassador will start in the low $200s. Other local boutique hotels such as Acme and Hotel Monaco are roughly in the same range, although cheaper rates can be found on travel websites.\nBrandman's success will depend on his ability to create that essential hip ambiance for travelers on a budget, industry watchers say.\nJournal's track record of successfully revamping historic hotels is in its favor. \"It seems to be their sweet spot,\" Cole said. \"They've figured out how to run these hotels, probably more efficiently than Schrager.\"",

        "raw_content": "4 Tips For Coping If You're Struggling With Depression\nHaving depression is like wearing a dark pair of sunglasses. It starts to color your worldview and suddenly everything can feel very hollow and hopeless. You might find that things which used to bring you joy, now are met with a deep sense of numbness. Your thoughts may begin to get increasingly negative. You might wonder what the purpose or meaning of life is.\nUnfortunately, many people who are struggling, may not even realize it. If they do recognize it, it can be tough to know what to do. There is no guidebook for how to cope, when small tasks feel like they take Herculean efforts.\nAs a therapist in private practice in Rockville, Maryland, the following are four tips for coping if you are struggling with depression.\n1. Reach out for help from a professional.\nDepression is a serious mental illness. However, it\u2019s also highly treatable. If you are struggling with depression, it\u2019s so important that you reach out for help from a professional. Look for a therapist, psychiatrist, or doctor, in your area who you can reach out to.\nSeeking help is a sign of true strength, not weakness. If your depression is telling you that you don\u2019t deserve to get help, please do not listen to it. Like an abusive partner, your depression wants you to stay trapped. However, all people who are suffering deserve to seek help and support. You don\u2019t have to continue to feel this hopeless and alone.\n2. Recognize the stories that your mind is telling you.\nWe all have thousands of thoughts per day. However, not everything that we think is a fact. When you are struggling with depression, often your thoughts become increasingly pessimistic and negative.\nThe first step is starting to be aware of the stories that you are telling yourself. After you are able to recognize the stories, you can focus on some more helpful \u201chealthy self,\u201d coping statement that you can tell yourself.\n3. Do an \u201copposite action.\u201d\nA dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skill that I love is called \u201copposite action.\u201d When someone is struggling with depression, often they feel the urge to isolate from others, to stay in bed, and to avoid certain situations. If this is the case, it\u2019s important to push yourself to take \u201copposite action.\u201d For instance, if you are feeling like isolating, you could consider calling or texting a friend or family member to spend time together. If you are experiencing the urge to stay in bed, think about an activity that you could go do.\nYour depression may cause you to not \u201cfeel like\u201d socializing or going outside. However, it\u2019s important to take these actions to boost your mood-even if you don\u2019t \u201cfeel like it\u201d initially.\n\u201cBeating yourself up\u201d for experiencing depression, will only serve to make you feel even worse. It\u2019s not your fault that you are suffering from depression. Mental illnesses are not a choice. No one would choose to isolate themselves from people they care about, to feel hopeless and numb, and to struggle with getting out of bed or leaving the house.\nIt\u2019s so important to be kind to yourself and to recognize that you are not certainly alone in struggling with depression.\nThink about some nice self-care activities that you can do for yourself and work to try to speak to yourself compassionately, as you would a good friend who was suffering.\nIt may not feel like it right now when the voice of depression is especially loud, however I want you to know that things can and will get better.\nPlease reach out for help, as no one should have to struggle with depression alone. With access to the right treatment and support you can learn how to cope-and even thrive.\nYou are so much stronger then you think.\nJennifer Rollin, MSW, LCSW-C is a therapist in private practice in Rockville, Maryland.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Wishard considers new hospital\nWishard considers new hospital\nKEYWORDS Health & Hospital Corporation of Marion County / Wishard / Hospital Construction / Health Care & Insurance\nKATTERJOHN: Get out and vote for Wishard\nWishard parent 'ecstatic' about cheap debt - so far\nWishard construction bids starting to flow\nUPDATE: Primary care at heart of hospitals' deal\nNew Eskenazi hospital offers heavy dose of artwork\nMatt Gutwein and Lisa Harris drive into work each morning knowing that their hospital, Wishard Health Services, will lose half a million dollars that day.\nBut they're OK with that. In fact, they're laying a plan to keep it up for the next 20 years.\nLooming large on their to-do list: building a new hospital.\nAn entirely new facility is only one option among many. But Gutwein acknowledged that to continue Wishard's recent success at cost-cutting and efficiency gains, it must build a facility that requires less maintenance and is designed for more efficient care giving.\n\"Of course, we'll build a new Wishard hospital at some point. Because every hospital wears out,\" said Gutwein, CEO of the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County, the tax-subsidized entity that owns Wishard. \"But do you do that five years from now, 15 years from now, 30 years from now?\"\nIt's clear Wishard needs a new facility right away, said local health care experts. It operates from an amalgamation of 15 buildings, the average age of which is 55 years. The oldest dates to World War I.\nOlder hospitals are more difficult to wire for today's computer technology and, because they pack two patients per room, require patients to be moved around more often to receive care.\nAlso, older buildings' heating and cooling systems are energy-inefficient compared with modern hospitals.\n\"Do you feel the temperature difference?\" said Harris, turning from one cool hallway to a markedly warmer one as she walked through Wishard earlier this month. Harris is CEO of Wishard and its chief medical officer.\nThe challenge for Wishard, of course, is money. A new hospital the size of Wishard---which has 1.4 million square feet at its downtown campus at 10th Street and Indiana Avenue--would likely cost more than $500 million, said Don Altemeyer, principal of BSA LifeStructures, an Indianapolis-based health care architecture firm.\n\"This is a project that we need,\" he said, adding, \"They are our lifeline facility for a lot of people.\"\nWishard's health care business always will lose money because its mission is to care for the indigent of Indianapolis. Just 9 percent of Wishard's patients, who made 1.2 million visits last year, paid with private insurance in 2006.\nOn average, public hospitals similar to Wishard had nearly 20 percent of their patients pay with private insurance, according to a 2004 survey by the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems.\nMore than a third of Wishard's patients were uninsured. And nearly half paid for their care through Medicaid or Medicare, which many hospitals say does not cover their costs.\nBut Medicare does cover costs at Wishard, Gutwein said. That's because the hospital has been relentless at cutting costs since the Health and Hospital Corp. sustained a $77 million deficit in 2002. It posted surpluses greater than $20 million each of the last two years. This year, it's on pace for a surplus of $7 million.\nWhile Wishard loses money, the Health and Hospital Corp. makes up for it with $45 million in local property tax revenue, about $90 million in federal funds for hospitals that serve a \"disproportionate share\" of indigent patients, and a few other sources.\nSince Gutwein became CEO in December 2002, Health and Hospital started running a network of 24 long-term-care facilities, which bring in additional revenue. He also beefed up the corporation's grants team, which Gutwein calls \"an army\" that \"scours the federal registry for new sources of money.\"\nOn top of that, Gutwein and Harris have made sure Wishard is more effective collecting whatever it can from its patients.\nBecause their work has paid off, Wishard is looking at what it can afford to do on a variety of fronts, including attracting physicians, boosting health in the broader community and, yes, building new facilities.\nWishard's options include an entirely new facility on a new site, slowly replacing old buildings with new ones on its current site, doing a combination of replacement and renovation, or simply trying to renovate its buildings as long as it can.\nGutwein said Wishard's leaders have reached no conclusions and declined to say when they would.\nIf Wishard were to build an entirely new building, it would need to run an annual surplus of at least 4 percent, or about $16 million, estimated Lynne Fagnani, senior vice president at the National Association of Public Hospitals. Otherwise, Wishard wouldn't have enough cash flow to pay interest on the public bonds it would sell to finance a new building.\n\"There's no question you need to make the investment. The question is, can you get your bottom line in shape to repay debt service?\" Fagnani said. Even then, a financially healthy public hospital can be tripped up if the Medicare and Medicaid programs, or local governments, suddenly cut back payments.\nGutwein said Health and Hospital is looking at funding options. The only one it's not considering: asking for a hike in property taxes.\nIf Wishard built a new facility, it would need to stay downtown because Wishard's physicians come primarily from the Indiana University School of Medicine, which is on the campus of IUPUI.\nGutwein, in an e-mail, said Wishard is committed to staying on the IUPUI campus and near the medical school.\n\"That location, in my judgment, would be in the best interest of our patients, our physicians and staff, the School of Medicine and the life-sciences initiatives,\" he wrote.\nHealthier finances\nWhile Wishard's patient revenue has risen 23 percent since 2003, its expenses are also rising as it provides more care. Expenses at the hospital have jumped about 15 percent in the same period.\nSo Wishard has worked to save money wherever it can.\nIt trimmed staff by 600 people through attrition and a few pink slips. That saved about $20 million a year.\nIt has added more positions back as its finances have improved. It now employs nearly 3,400 full-time-equivalent workers. It also boasts an active physician staff of 981.\nWishard formed teams in various departments to find ways to save money. The team in the medical-surgical section found it was ordering four kinds of cups for its staff and patients to use. So Wishard cut out two varieties. That saved $78,000 a year.\nThe orthopedic surgeons working at Wishard did something similar. They reviewed the many brands of otherwise identical implants they stocked and decided on one departmental favorite for each kind of implant. That saved Wishard from spending to stock a favorite for each surgeon.\nGeneral surgeons also pitched in. They juggled their surgery schedules more to reduce down time and squeeze in more procedures. In addition, the surgeons made sure to start their first surgeries on time, at 7:30 a.m., and Wishard's staff changes over an operating room in 30 minutes, versus 90 minutes before.\n\"We have so much energy [in the staff],\" said Harris, sitting in her fourth-floor office, her white lab coat draped over her desk chair. Harris, who spent her entire career at Wishard before becoming CEO, still sees patients one afternoon a week.\nWishard has added 50 inpatient beds in the last four years and has gradually bumped up its bed occupancy to 98 percent. Most hospitals have occupancy rates around 80 percent, Gutwein said.\nWishard has spent almost no time this year \"on diversion,\" a state where its beds are full and it has to divert ambulances to other hospitals.\n\"It's like stuffing more people in the Volkswagen,\" Gutwein said.\nDr. Kirsten Kaisner-Duncan, Wishard's chief of medicine, said the many changes went down well with staff because Harris did an excellent job of communicating. At monthly meetings of department chiefs and quarterly employee meetings, Harris informed Wishard's staff of the hospital's challenges and management's plan for meeting them.\n\"What kept the morale up, actually, was her communication. There was a degree of transparency,\" Kaisner-Duncan said. \"We felt like we were being given the facts and we were being given a game plan. We knew that if we didn't tighten our belts, there wouldn't be the means to support the [hospital's] mission.\"\nNow that the means are there, Wishard's leaders have spent the last 18 months crafting a plan to make sure it is never in such dire financial straits again.\nThe plan has several goals, which Gutwein and Harris say all link together: Deliver the best care, improve community health, engage employees, attract and keep physicians, strengthen learning and research, pursue focused growth, improve overall performance.\nFor instance, Wishard has started to buy up housing facilities and provide space for homeless patients. It's cheaper to pay for housing and provide regular care to these patients, instead of treating them when they come into Wishard's emergency room with a crisis.\nA final goal reads, \"Provide a modern care environment.\" That's where the discussion of a new building comes in.\n\"We're not sitting around thinking about, 'Gee, let's build a new hospital,'\" Gutwein said. However, he added, \"It's a mind-set of the organization to get out ahead of the problem.\"",

        "raw_content": "Richard Pryor widow confirms he slept with Marlon Brando because 'good drugs could make you f**k a radiator'\nJennifer Lee was married to Pryor in the early 80s and again in the 2000s.\nThe widow of comedy icon Richard Pryor has appeared to confirm a claim by famed music producer Quincy Jones that he enjoyed a fling with Marlon Brando, saying that drugs made her late husband capable of almost anything.\nJones prompted discussions about Pryor's sexuality and conquests following an interview with New York Magazine Vulture in which he claimed that Brando's charm helped him seduce many stars.\n\"Brando used to go cha-cha dancing with us, he could dance his ass off, \"Jones told Vulture. \"He could dance his ass off [Brando] was the most charming motherf**ker you ever met. He'd f**k anything. Anything! He'd f**k a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye ... He did not give a f**k!\"\nWhen TMZ caught up with Jennifer Lee \u2014 who was married to legendary stand-up star from 1981 to 1982 and again from 2001 until his death in 2005\u2014 she corroborated the claims and revealed that he was privately open about his bisexuality.\n\"It was the '70s!\" she said. \"Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you'd f**k a radiator and send it flowers in the morning.\"\nLee went on to state that Pryor wrote extensively his sexual escapades in diaries, which she hopes to publish later this year. The funnyman was married seven times to five different women.\nJones comments about Pryor are not the only takeaway from to the no-holds-barred interview to attract attention online. The 85-year-old also spoke frankly about his relationship with late pop star Michael Jackson. The Secret Garden singer said, \"I hate to get into this publicly, but Michael stole a lot of stuff. He stole a lot of songs.\"\nTo drive home his point he compared State of Independence, a 1982 song Jones produced for the singer Donna Summer, with Jackson's hit Billie Jean saying the \"notes don't lie, man He was as Machiavellian as they come.\"\nJones, who sued Jackson Estate for $10m (\u00a37.2m) in 2014 for cutting him out of potential future royalties, also called the Thriller hitmaker a \"greedy man\".\n\"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough\" \u2014 Greg Phillinganes wrote the c section. Michael should've given him 10 percent of the song. Wouldn't do it,\" he explained.\nJones also said that he gave Jackson a hard timer over his plastic surgery, calling the late pop star's vitiligo justification \"bullshit.\"\n\"He had a problem with his looks because his father told him he was ugly and abused him. What do you expect?\" he added of Jackson.\nQuincy Jones slams Donald Trump and shockingly reveals 'I used to date Ivanka'\nSheen faces torrent of allegations including claims he arranged murder\nSerena Williams 'ready' for comeback as Andy Murray backs her to win",

Survey Research Center; Stephen W. Raudenbush, University of Chicago; David R. Williams, Harvard University; Elizabeth A. Young, University of Michigan\nThe Chicago Community Adult Health Study (CCAHS) consists of four interrelated components that were conducted simultaneously: (1) a survey of adult health on a probability sample of 3,105 Chicago adults, including direct physical measurements of their blood pressure and heart rate and of height, weight, waist and hip circumference, and leg length; (2) a biomedical supplement which collected blood and/or saliva samples on a subset of 661 survey respondents; (3) a community survey in which individuals described aspects of the social environment of all survey respondents' neighborhoods; and (4) a systematic social observation (SSO) of the blocks in which potential survey respondents resided, including a lost letter drop (Milgram et al. 1965) as an unobtrusive measure of neighborhood social capital/sense of responsibility to help others. The latter two extend a community survey and SSO of neighborhoods carried out by the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) in 1995. The adult health survey and the community survey were conducted jointly through face-to-face interviews with a stratified, multistage probability sample of 3,105 individuals aged 18 and over and living in the city of Chicago, with a response rate of 72 percent that is about the highest currently attainable in large urban areas. In addition, blood pressure, heart rate, and physical measurements (of height, weight, waist and hips, and leg length) were collected during the survey interview, and blood and saliva samples from 661 respondents or 60 percent of those doing the survey in the 80 \"focal\" neighborhood clusters (NCs). SSOs were conducted on 1,663 of the 1,672 city blocks on which each respondent lived. The CCAHS is the largest of five projects under the NIH-funded Michigan Interdisciplinary Center on Social Inequalities, Mind and Body Mind (#P50HD38986), one of five Mind-Body Centers funded by the National Institutes of Health in late 1999. This study will advance the understanding of socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities in health, a major priority of the Public Health Service and the National Institutes of Health.\nThe PI-supplied summary mentions that the study is comprised of four components. However, for the purposes of this data release there are three distinct datasets. Demographic variables include age, birth year, race, ethnicity, number of children in the household, number of children living elsewhere, number of times the respondent has been married, and relationship status, religious preference, and sex.\nUnited States Department of Health and Human Services.

The incorporation of IEM Methodology in all music areas has been the main objective of this institution,\nbeing its raison d\u2019\u00eatre to contribute this way to a renewal in music education that IEM deems indispensable. IEM has been working in two different directions in order to achieve this objective:Created by Dr. Emilio Molina and its applications in all areas and levels of Music Education, and creating music materials and resources supporting his methodology.\nIEM methodology bases its foundations in:\nAnalysis, as the medium to comprehend the technical, melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and formal elements of the musical discourse.\nImprovisation, as the medium to convert the knowledge derived from the analysis process into musical practice and creativity.\nTeachers at IEM occupy a central place in this project, as we are aware that the training and re-training of teachers is the essential step to take in order to contribute to the regeneration of music education. IEM teachers are a compact and heterogeneous group of specialists from different disciplines that work towards developing the methodology in every subject and level. This group continues expanding with new teachers gradually incorporated when they obtain our \u201cTeacher Certificate\u201d.\nIEM has its own Publishing Editorial, Enclave Creativa, which publishes and distributes a wide range of books applying IEM methodology to the most diverse specialities: instrumental teaching (individual and ensembles), musicianship, analysis, composition, aural skills, choir, music at primary and secondary schools, etc.\nOur intention is that this website is your gateway to creativity and the revitalisation of music education in all its many different facets. Please visit the different pages about our methodology, courses, media, etc., and if you like more information in English about IEM, don\u2019t hesitate to contact us and we will send it to you.\nWe invite you to learn about our Music Institute, and to send us your questions, comments and suggestions!\nAbout IEM \u2014 No hay comentarios",

        "raw_content": "There has been a big change in the way social workers are registered in the United Kingdom following a decision imposed by the government without consultation and implemented on 1 August 2012.\nOn 1 August 2012 the General Social Care Council closed down and the regulation of the social work profession and social work education in England transferred to the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The Care Councils in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland remain in existence and will work jointly with the HCPC which only regulates social work in England.\nRegistration of internationally qualified social workers\nMany social workers who qualify in other countries are interested in working in the UK and a large number are already registered and working there. This briefing provides information for qualified social workers who would like to seek work as a social worker there.\nSocial workers who wish to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and have undergone professional training abroad can find information about how to apply here. It is now necessary to provide at least one professional reference and a background check consent form. The additional forms required are included in the International application pack. Social work is a protected title in the UK and anybody wishing to work as or call themselves a social worker must be registered with the HCPC.\nGSCC legacy publications\nThe GSCC website and all of its content, including research and other publications, has been placed in the National Archives and is available for reference. The GSCC archive is available here.\nThe GSCC published a series of research reports examining its achievements and legacy and developments in social work over the period of its existence (2001-2012). These give a significant insight into social work in England (and the UK) over this period. All the reports are available free from the National Archives.\nThe reports include\nRegulating social workers 2001-12\nRegulating social work education 2001-12\nGSCC targeted inspections of Approved Mental Health Professionals (AMHP) courses in England (2011-12)\nInvolving people who use services and their carers in the work of the GSCC (2010-12)\nThe supply of social work practice placements: Employers\u2019 views\nProfessional Boundaries in Social Work\nThe campaign to create a regulatory body for social work lasted for many decades. The British Association of Social Workers played the leading role in that campaign, for many years being the only voice calling for the regulation of social workers. The campaign was later taken up by an alliance of several bodies which eventuially resulted in legislation. BASW has always argued that regulation and registration was needed both to protect the interests of the public and to raise standards of practice and thereby to raise and protect the status of the profession.\nThis dual objective is still possible under the umbrella of the new regulator which regulates several professions most of which, apart from social work, are practicing mainly within the health service. It remains to be seen how well the new Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) manages to achieve a consistent approach across such different professional groups and how this will affect the identity and values of social work.",

The facial animation is still top-notch, the voice acting is great, and the art style is gritty and detailed. Alyx is with you almost the entire way, and she's typically more of a help than a hindrance, which is a refreshing change. The rebel squads in HL2 tended to get bunched up in hallways, making it difficult to quickly and tactically respond to a threat, so it's nice to just deal with one capable individual. And she's not invincible. There was one section where I had to do a lot of running around, and I left it to her to deal with some problems while I did my thing. Unfortunately, she died, and game doesn't let you progress when that happens. I was more conscientious of her situation from that point on, but there's only so much I can do when I don't get an indication of how much health she has, or if her health regenerates after being out of combat for X amount of time. I'll take her over an invincible ally, though, or over a slew of constantly restocked but faceless buddies.\nEpisode One is a very polished experience, with a sense of humanity and personality that you rarely see in a shooter. And there are some intense segments here and there. But this installment doesn't have the \"wow\" factor of HL2; that was an ambitious game with a legacy to live up to. It was a well-crafted experience that had obviously been in the works for years. Episode One, in contrast, doesn't feel as adventurous. It's still Half-Life, which means it looks great, is very interactive, and has some interesting mechanics. But I find myself yearning for the cliffs of Lost Coast, or the fortified bridges of Highway 17. Perhaps now that the resolution of HL2 is out of the way, we can have an experience that continues the story instead of filling in a gap.\nIf the Episode Two teaser following the endgame credits is any indication, we will encounter some new things and places. I just wish Episode One had advanced the story a little further than it did. One can't second guess Valve, but it seems like the escape from City 17 could have been compressed into a much more compact experience, leaving room for what comes after. Instead, Episode One feels stretched a little thin, especially when you have to go back and forth several times in one section, escorting refugees in batches of two to five people. And perhaps Valve's storytelling style is more suited to a longer arc, because no new conflict is introduced here. Well, there are hints and suggestions, but nothing rears its head in the four to five hours it takes to finish the episode. (On a side note, the game defaults to \"Easy\" difficulty; we played it on \"Normal\" and we recommend \"Hard\" for a good challenge.)\nWhen it comes down to it, you should like Episode One if you liked Half-Life 2. Despite the fact that it isn't as adventurous or dramatic as HL2, Episode One still offers quality that's a cut above the rest. Its humanity (in the face of strange, masked soldiers and sometimes grotesque creatures) makes it more than a rote experience, and the Citadel is still an imaginative and interesting setting. In retrospect, HL2 appears to be a very difficult game to follow up on, and Valve does a very capable job of keeping the fire going. And buying the game on Steam is a relatively painless experience, especially compared to where the service was when HL2 launched. Judging by the material I saw in the Episode Two trailer, it looks like Valve will indeed open up the world a little. As it stands, Episode One is a brief, stylistically claustrophobic experience whose polish and personality manage to keep things moving.\nHalf-Life 2: Episode One Released Jun. 1st, 2006\n1 Jun 2006 By Tom McNamara",

That\u2019s how you\u2019ll grow your PR business in the 21st century.\nSocial Media - Key for Sustainability Communications\nOver the last few years two relatively new business philosophies have become the trendy buzzwords in the corporate space \u2013 social media and sustainability. The rise of social media has provoked a complex cultural and communications shift in the way people share information and participate in conversations, resulting in the empowerment of the individual to demand change as well as to expect responsibility and social consciousness from brands to strike the triple bottom line balance. This new social economy is based on engagement, relationships and mutual trust where relevance to the individual is a main currency for meaningful communications. Thus, innovation has become crucial for companies to reach, educate and inspire this new consumer about sustainability. In that respect, this book provides thorough analysis and practical guidance of the use of social media for sustainability communications. It is therefore especially useful to professionals in the fields of PR, Communications and Sustainability, or anyone else interested in exploring social media's opportunities for sustainability.\nSocial Media and the Rebirth of PR: The Emergence of Social Media as a Change Driver for PR\nOur world has faced some remarkable changes over the past few decades due to the rapid development of new technology and the Internet. However, a few years back, a new era began, an era where ordinary people have a 'say' on every possible matter, anytime, anywhere - the emergence of social media has altered our lives enormously by giving everyone the opportunity to be a publisher and a communicator. This, in turn, has had a huge impact on the Public Relations practice, which has always been concerned with communicating and building relationships with various publics on behalf of organisations. This book describes how exactly social media altered the PR industry and the way practitioners are doing PR using social media in their professional and private lives. It is therefore especially useful to both students and professionals in the fields of PR, Social Media, Communications and Marketing, or anyone else who is interested in learning more about social media's impact on PR.\nThe Impact of Social Media on the PR Industry\nThe Public Relations industry has faced dramatic changes in the past few years in terms of new technology and media channels as well as new opportunities for communicating with clients and businesses. The main reason for this is the emergence of social media networking which enabled customers to easily and quickly engage in a two-way communication process with companies. For businesses on the other hand this represents a huge challenge of how to effectively handle the new forms of engagement so that they now realize the increasing importance of Public Relations as an organisational function. However, social media is still a big challenge for the PR industry itself. That is why the project aimed to research this new development and find comprehensive insights into what exactly happened and how should PR practitioners better approach new media opportunities.\nGet the ebook here!",

        "title": "\ufeff IHB: Lew Wallace",
        "raw_content": "Civil War, 150th\nHoosier Voices NOW\nCurrent: Lew Wallace\nBorn on April 10, 1827, in Brookville, Indiana, Lewis Wallace was the second son of David Wallace and Esther French Test Wallace. After Esther died in 1834, Wallace married Zerelda Gray Sanders in 1836. David Wallace served as Indiana\u2019s lieutenant governor and then governor, 1831-1840.\nGeneral Lew Wallace, 1827-1905 Source: Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Online Catalog\nFrom an early age, Lew displayed little interest in school and was mostly tutored privately. He preferring hunting and fishing to sitting in a classroom and had dreams of winning glory and fame in battle. His father had graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Among Lew\u2019s earliest memories was seeing the uniform his father wore while a student at West Point. The \u201cshining bullet-buttons of the coat captured my childish fancy,\u201d he wrote many years later in his autobiography.\nWallace became an avid reader and writer, and his interest in the military continued. While working in the county clerk\u2019s office in Indianapolis, he joined a local military company known as the Marion Rifles. He later grew tired of studying law in his father\u2019s office and volunteered for service in the Mexican War in 1846. He rose to the rank of lieutenant in the 1st Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiment, but saw no battle action.\nAfter his safe return to Indiana, Wallace finished his studies, earned a license to practice law, and was admitted to the bar in 1849. He opened a practice in Covington and later served as prosecuting attorney there. In 1852, he married Susan Elston; they had one child, a son born in 1853. They moved to Crawfordsville, and he won election as a Democrat to the Indiana Senate, serving in the 1857 and 1859 sessions.\nWallace continued his interest in military matters by studying manuals and books on how to lead soldiers. While living in Crawfordsville, he organized a militia unit called the Montgomery Guards. After reading a magazine article on the colorful uniforms and dashing exploits of the Zouaves, a French Algerian army unit, Wallace outfitted his men in the Zouaves\u2019 style of uniforms and trained his recruits in their theatrical drill and commando tactics.\nWith the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Wallace was ready to offer his service to the Union cause. In his autobiography, Wallace said he believed that the \u201cconflict would be long and great, but that it would also be crowded with opportunities for distinction not in the least inconsistent with patriotism.\u201d He volunteered his services to Indiana Governor Oliver P. Morton, who selected him to serve as the state\u2019s adjutant general. Wallace worked to organize Indiana\u2019s quota of six regiments for the Union called for by President Abraham Lincoln in April 1861.\nAfter raising more than double the number of troops required by Lincoln in a matter of days, Wallace resigned as adjutant general. Morton placed him in command of the 11th Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiment as its colonel. Before the regiment left Indianapolis, Wallace had the men march to the Indiana State House, where he made them kneel and swear an oath to avenge their comrades, whom Wallace believed had been unjustly accused of cowardice at the Battle of Buena Vista during the Mexican War. Wallace had the regiment take as its battle cry: \u201cRemember Buena Vista!\u201d The influential magazine Harper\u2019s Weekly captured the stirring scene in a full-page illustration for its nationwide circulation.\nIn June 1861, Wallace and the 11th Indiana saw their first action, surprising a small Confederate force at Romney, Virginia, and driving them from the town. The regiment next moved to the Western theater of the war, serving under General Ulysses S. Grant in his successful campaigns to capture Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. In March 1862, at the age of thirty-four, Wallace received promotion to major general, the youngest to hold that rank in the Union Army. Wallace\u2019s rise to prominence came to an end at the Battle of Shiloh in early April 1862. During the first day of the battle, Wallace received what were, to him, unclear orders from Grant. Wallace took his command on a confused march that took them out of action. Although Wallace and his men\u2014combined with reinforcements from Major General Don Carlos Buell\u2014joined other Union forces to drive the Confederates back on the battle\u2019s second day, Wallace received heavy criticism for his tardiness and eventually lost his command.\nPart of a collage of images titled THE ELEVENTH INDIANA REGIMENT OF ZOUAVES, COLONEL L. WALLACE in Harpers Weekly, July 20, 1861. Source: Indiana Historical Society, P0455.\nIn late summer 1862, northern military leaders called Wallace back into action to help bolster defenses around Cincinnati, Ohio, to thwart an expected Confederate assault. Wallace won the respect of the city\u2019s residents for his inspired leadership, as he organized volunteers to build such strong defenses that the Confederates decided to abandon their plans for taking the city. During the crisis Wallace declared martial law and suppressed publication of two Cincinnati newspapers. Two years later, while commanding at Baltimore, he again suppressed a city newspaper.\nWith the cloud hanging over him after the Battle of Shiloh, Wallace remained at home in Indiana without military occupation. His only official duties were to preside over the court of inquiry for Major General Buell and, briefly, to command troops during Morgan\u2019s Raid in July 1863. The \u201cturning-point,\u201d as Wallace termed it, in the rebirth of his military career came on March 12, 1864, when he received orders from the government to take command of the 8th Army Corps, headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland.\nFour months later, Wallace led a small force of Union soldiers at Monocacy Junction in a desperate attempt to stop a superior Confederate army from capturing Washington, D.C. Although defeated at what came to be called the Battle of Monocacy, Wallace had delayed the Confederates\u2019 march on Washington by a full day, giving Grant enough time to send reinforcements and successfully beat back any attack on the nation\u2019s capital.\nFollowing the end of the war in 1865, Wallace served on the military court that tried those involved with Lincoln\u2019s assassination, and he was president of the commission that tried and convicted Confederate Captain Henry Wirz, commander of the notorious Andersonville Prison in Georgia. Although Wallace became governor of the New Mexico Territory and U.S. minister to Turkey, he achieved his greatest fame before his death on February 15, 1905, as the best-selling author of the novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, published in 1880.\nA lithograph published by Harper\u2019s Weekly.

        "title": "Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening, by Joseph Goldstein - Inquiring Mind",
        "raw_content": "Reviewed By Lloyd Burton\n(443 pp., Sounds True, 2013)\nReading Joseph Goldstein\u2019s new book, Mindfulness, brought to mind some remarks Bhikkhu Bodhi made at a teachers\u2019 retreat a few years ago. One of the foremost living English-language translators of what the historical Buddha is thought to have said, Bhikkhu Bodhi described what he saw as two complementary but distinguishable forms of Dharma-teaching discourse: those of canonical Buddhism and those of adaptive Buddhism.\nThe Buddha\u2019s teachings would never have been disseminated first throughout Asia and then globally, Bhikkhu Bodhi said, if both forms had not been used: the faithful replication of the Buddha\u2019s message in the form he delivered it (canonical), and conveyance of the essence of the Buddha\u2019s teachings in the common vernacular of the host cultures, using whatever similes, constructs and examples the teachers deemed accurate and appropriate to the task (adaptive).\nFrom this perspective, most books written by key Western teachers introducing the teachings and practices of the Theravada tradition over the last half-century or so tend to lie more on the adaptive end of the continuum. By contrast, Mr. Goldstein\u2019s new book qualifies as his first foray deep into the territory of canonical Buddhism\u2014more so than anything else he\u2019s ever written (including his earlier groundbreaking volumes such as Insight Meditation, The Experience of Insight, One Dharma, and Seeking the Heart of Wisdom, with Jack Kornfield).\nIn Mindfulness, Mr. Goldstein faithfully recounts the stanza-by-stanza \u201crefrain\u201d of the Maha Satipatthana Sutta (Greater Discourse on the Establishing of Mindfulness), exploring both its inner meanings and outer manifestations as practiced in daily life.\nIn this endeavor, he relies heavily on another text also considered a contemporary work of pure canonical Buddhism: the scholar and monk Analayo\u2019s Satipatthana: The Direct Path to Realization (Windhorse, 2003). Analayo Bhikkhu\u2019s book is a scholarly commentary on the mindfulness discourse\u2014a deeply researched, extensively referenced and insightfully written treatise. But what his treatise does not do is provide personal, one-on-one, experience-based advice on how to live the teachings on mindfulness. That\u2019s where this new book comes in.\nIn Mindfulness, again and again Mr. Goldstein references either the discourse itself or Analayo\u2019s treatise. Mindfulness is basically a user\u2019s guide to these two texts; I think it\u2019s best read and understood as a companion piece to these two sources, though it stands on its own quite well. That said, Mr. Goldstein\u2019s new book is a fairly advanced inquiry into the inner workings of the mindfulness discourse in terms of living its teachings.\nThe Buddha advised those going forth to share the Dharma to teach a \u201cgraduated discourse,\u201d and Mindfulness is definitely toward the upper end of this range. Newcomers to insight meditation might be better advised to start with the teachings offered in Mr. Goldstein\u2019s first book, The Experience of Insight, as a lead-up to reading this recent work.\nReading Analayo\u2019s book is like listening to a tightly crafted lecture series at some great institute of Buddhist learning\u2014taking in what the Satipatthana Sutta means conceptually and intellectually. By contrast, in Mindfulness Mr. Goldstein offers heartfelt personal advice on how to apply your understanding of this discourse to your every waking moment. He deeply explores all aspects of the four ways of establishing mindfulness just as the Buddha taught them, but always from the perspective of how we can continually manifest this state of mind in our thoughts, words, deeds and way of life.\nIn so doing, Mr. Goldstein occasionally burrows into sometimes overlooked nooks and crannies in the discourse, and comes up with some previously unrecognized (at least by me) gems, such as the need for contemplation that is \u201cardent, clearly knowing, and mindful.\u201d In fact, \u201cArdency\u201d is the title of the book\u2019s introductory chapter.\nWhile Mr. Goldstein\u2019s book\u2014like the discourse he is explicating\u2014is aimed directly at the goal of liberation, this introductory chapter begins by explaining how ardency properly understood can be a wellspring of wholesome, present-centered and process-centered effort rather than an unhealthy and solitary obsession with future goal attainment:\nArdent implies a balanced and sustained application of effort. But ardent also suggests warmth of feeling, a passionate and strong enthusiasm or devotion because we realize the value and importance of something. When the Buddha says that a bhikkhu (all of us on the path) abides ardently, he is urging us to take great care, with continuity and perseverance, in what we do . . . Spiritual ardency is the wellspring of a courageous heart.\nAt the end of a retreat, a student eliciting advice about how to practice when he returned home asked his teacher how often he should sit and for how long. \u201cIt depends on how happy you want to be,\u201d she replied. The teacher was referring to this very quality of ardency\u2014the understanding that we are indeed capable of redoubling our efforts to become mindful and free, if we but choose to do so, and to apply a constancy of compassionate intention to that end.\nLikewise, whether or not you wish to add Mr. Goldstein\u2019s book to your Dharma library depends on how focused you are on seeking to live a mindful life, and on holding before you the real possibility of moment-by-moment as well as final liberation. For me, this new book became indispensable from the moment I began to read it.\n\u00a9 2013 Lloyd Burton\nDiscourses, Mindfulness, Scholarship, Theravada\nLloyd Burton is a professor by trade, teaching environmental law and policy in the School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado, Denver.

        "raw_content": "By Zhiping Zhou and Mark M. Souweidane\nSubmitted: May 5th 2012Reviewed: September 28th 2012Published: April 10th 2013\nZhiping Zhou*\nDepartment of Neurological Surgery, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York, NY, USA\nDepartment of Neurosurgery, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY, USA\n*Address all correspondence to: zhz2004@med.cornell.edu\nBrainstem gliomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors occurring in the brainstem and cervicomedullary junction. They occur more often in children than in adults. Brainstem tumors, according to data prior to early 1980s, represent 10-20% of all central nervous system neoplasms in the pediatric population [1-3]. Approximately 90% of brainstem tumors are gliomas in origin [4].\nDiffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the most common type representing approximately 80% of brainstem gliomas [5, 6]. They have a dismal prognosis with a median survival of only a year. Their natural history is often compared to but worse than that of supratentorial glioblastoma seen primarily in the adult population. Nondiffuse brainstem gliomas, including focal, dorsal exophytic and cervicomedullary gliomas, are encountered less often and have a better prognosis. However, if untreated, they could also lead to progressive brainstem dysfunction and ultimately death.\nTrue incidence studies of brainstem gliomas are lacking. According to the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, there were 400-450 cases of brainstem gliomas in children per year in the U.S. during 2004-2008, representing 10.7% of primary central nervous system tumors [7]. This number is higher than those previously estimated for the period between 1970s-1990s [8]. The increase is thought primarily to be a result of increased detection by the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and better data reporting as opposed to a true increase in the incidence of these tumors.\nThe most common age at diagnosis for DIPG is 5-9 years old with a median of 6.5 years, but cases have been seen in all age groups from infants to adults [5, 9]. Nondiffuse brainstem gliomas have roughly the same age distribution.\nNeurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) patients have higher incidence of brainstem gliomas. These tumors, whether diffuse or nondiffuse, appear to have a more benign course compared with tumors from patients without NF1 [10].\nThere does not appear to be a sex predilection in any of the brainstem tumor subgroups [5, 9]. Because of the low incidence and lack of diagnosis in less developed countries, there is not sufficient data to determine if there is a geographic propensity. No specific risk factors, either environmental or infectious, have been described to be related to the incidence of brainstem gliomas.\nBrainstem gliomas are classified based on their location, focality and growth patterns. Classification systems were created using the current form of imaging available. Brainstem gliomas can be broadly categorized as diffuse intrinsic pontin glioma (DIPG) and nondiffuse brainstem gliomas. Nondiffuse brainstem gliomas can be further classified into three groups: focal gliomas (tectal and other locations), dorsal exophytic gliomas and cervicomedullary gliomas.\nDIPG accounts for approximately 80% of brainstem gliomas in children [5, 6]. Surgical resection is not possible due to the location and infiltrative nature of the tumor. The standard of care for DIPG is radiation therapy. They have a median survival of about 10-12 months [6].\nFocal gliomas account for about 5% of brainstem gliomas in children. They may be located anywhere within the brainstem but are typically not in the ventral pons. Most focal gliomas occur in the midbrain, especially the tectum of the midbrain. Focal gliomas in other areas of the brainstem, such as medulla, are less often seen. As a result, some discussions about focal gliomas may focus on tectal gliomas. Focal gliomas have well defined margins. They usually have an indolent course, and depending on location, are often amenable to surgical resection. The majority of tectal glioma patients have non-communicating hydrocephalus at initial presentation due to compression of cerebral aqueduct. Focal gliomas have a good prognosis [11].\nDorsal exophytic gliomas account for 10-15% of brainstem gliomas in children. They present insidiously with a long history of nonspecific headache and vomiting. They are amenable to surgical resection. These tumors have a good outcome after surgical resection [12].\nCervicomedullary gliomas account for 5-10% of brainstem gliomas in childrens. They arise from the lower medulla or the upper cervical spinal cord. They are amenable to surgical resection. Long-term tumor control can be achieved in most patients with surgical resection alone [13, 14].\n4. Pathology and pathophysiology\nBrainstem gliomas are typically astrocytomas. Focal, dorsal exophytic and cervicomedullary gliomas are usually pilocytic astrocytoma (WHO grade I) and fibrillary astrocytoma (WHO grade II). Other low-grade gliomas with indolent growth such as ganglioglioma are also seen. DIPGs are typically anaplastic astrocytoma (WHO grade III) and glioblastoma multiforme (WHO grade IV). Growth of low-grade gliomas typically respect fiber tracts and pial borders. In contrast, high-grade gliomas grow and expand without respecting anatomic boundaries of these surrounding tissues.\n70-90% of DIPGs are anaplastic astrocytoma (WHO grade III) and glioblastoma multiforme (WHO grade IV) if biopsied before radiation therapy is given [15-17]. The remainders are mainly fibrillary astrocytoma (WHO grade II). At a later stage, invasion of adjacent levels of the brainstem and cerebellar peduncles is common. At autopsy, the vast majority of DIPGs are high-grade and more than 50% have disseminated within the neuraxis [18].\nMost focal gliomas are low-grade [11, 19]. Low-grade gliomas seen in this subgroup include pilocytic astrocytoma, fibrillary astrocytoma and ganglioglioma. Most tectal gliomas cause hydrocephalus at an early stage due to its compression on the cerebral aqueduct.\nDorsal exophytic gliomas arise from subependymal glial tissue. Over 90% of these tumors are pilocytic astrocytomas [20] that grow along the path of least resistance. As a result, most of the tumor extends into the fourth ventricle rather than infiltrating the brainstem ventrally. Tumors that extend laterally and/or ventrally into the brainstem are usually more aggressive and of higher grade on pathological examination.\nCervicomedullary gliomas arise from either the lower medulla or upper cervical spinal cord. Most of them are low-grade astrocytomas, but gangliogliomas and ependymomas are also seen [14, 21]. Tumors with epicenters in the upper cervical cord grow dorsally into the cisterna magna. Those with epicenters in the lower medulla grow centrifugally as focal nodules.\nPartially because of the low incidence of brainstem gliomas, their molecular genetics is less studied compared with some more common primary central nervous system tumors. However, there are some significant advances in the last a few years concerning both DIPG and focal brainstem gliomas.\nDIPGs are genetically complex and distinct from both adult and pediatric supratentorial high-grade gliomas (HGG). Recent evidence points to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptors (PDGFR) as among the major driving forces of tumorigenesis in the majority of cases [22-26]. Another type of growth factor receptors involved in DIPG is epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Expression of EGFR was reported in the majority of high grade and less than 20% of low grade DIPG by immunohistochemistry staining [27]. The same study also reported that 25% of grade III and 50% of grade IV tumors had EGFR gene amplification. Recent data show that strong EGFR immunohistochemistry staining was seen in about 27% cases [23], lower than in the earlier report, and that amplification rate of the EGFR gene is also much lower (about 7-9%) [23, 25]. Unlike the case in pediatric supratentorial HGG, CDKN2A deletion is non-existent in DIPG [25, 28] and amplification of CDK4 and CDK6 only occurs at a low rate [25]. Approximately 50% of DIPG had p53 mutation [29, 30] and three groups reported loss of a region of 17p containing the p53 gene in 31%, 57% and 64% cases, respectively [23, 28, 31]. In approximately 50% of DIPG patients, allelic loss of a region of 10q where PTEN is located was observed [31-33].\nThere have been fewer molecular genetics studies of nondiffuse brainstem gliomas. Recently it was reported that BRAF gene duplication and mutation are often observed in pediatric pilocytic astrocytomas and fibrillary astrocytomas, including those located in the brainstem [34-36].\nThe clinical behavior and presentation of brainstem gliomas are highly variable, depending on the anatomic location and growth pattern of the tumor, age of the patient and certain other factors. Symptom evolution reflects aggressiveness of the tumor. Low-grade tumors typically present with an insidious course over several months of gradual symptom progression. By comparison, a shorter and more abrupt onset of symptoms is indicative of higher-grade tumors.\nNondiffuse gliomas are often low-grade lesions with expectedly slow growth. Symptoms are insidious in onset and may not be readily appreciated. Careful history taking, including comparison to photographs, may be necessary to evaluate subtle changes associated with cranial nerve dysfunction in these slow-growing tumors. DIPGs, in comparison, typically present with a short prodrome of symptoms (usually 1-2 months or shorter) [9].\nIn brainstem gliomas, the pattern of symptoms reflects the extent of the tumor. Diffusely growing tumors are associated with multiple and bilateral cranial neuropathies, long tract signs and ataxia. Hydrocephalus in these tumors is uncommon at initial presentation. Nondiffuse gliomas often present with isolated cranial neuropathies, signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, and ataxia. Rarely, hemiparesis may be part of the clinical presentation.\nBrainstem glioma patients can have a combination of the following at presentation.\nCranial neuropathies are common in most tumors of the brainstem. Simultaneous involvement of multiple cranial nerves is more frequently encountered with diffuse lesions. Focal lesions, in contrast, are often associated with more limited cranial nerve involvement. Upper brainstem involvement is often associated with oculomotor deficits, and lesions of the lower brainstem are frequently found to have lower cranial nerve involvement resulting in changes in voice, dysphagia and/or aspiration pneumonias.\nLong tract signs, including motor dysfunction and hyperreflexia, are most often associated with diffusely growing tumors or focal tumors of the cervicomedullary junction. Long tract signs are often conspicuously absent with dorsal exophytic gliomas [12].\nIn brainstem glioma patients, ataxia can be a result of loss of proprioceptive sensation, CN VIII involvement and/or invasion of cerebellar peduncles by the tumor. Ataxia is frequently seen in DIPG patients.\nObstructive hydrocephalus is usually the first sign seen in focal tectal gliomas as a result of the tumor compressing cerebral aqueduct. Hydrocephalus and its associated signs and symptoms are also often seen in dorsal exophytic gliomas which grow dorsally into the fourth ventricle resulting in the obstruction of normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow.\nFailure to thrive is commonly encountered in infants with tumors of the cervicomedullary junction due to lower cranial nerve dysfunction resulting in swallowing difficulties.\n6.1. Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas\nDIPG patients usually have an acute onset and present with a history of rapid deterioration of 1-2 months or even shorter. Physical examination reveals classic brainstem signs: cranial nerve deficits, long tract signs and ataxia, or combinations of the three. At least two of the triad need to be present along with MRI evidence to establish the diagnosis of DIPG.\nBilateral and multiple cranial nerve involvement is frequent in DIPG. Abducens (CN VI) palsy is the most frequent cranial neuropathy at presentation [5]. Facial palsy is also frequently seen at initial presentation. Involvement of CN VIII causes deadness and contributes to ataxia. Lower cranial nerve involvement causes aspiration, and difficulty in speech, swallowing and maintaining normal head positions.\nThese children often present with severe limb weakness and hyperreflexia, resulting in their difficulty to walk and sometimes even to sit. Long tract involvement also causes loss of tactile, nociceptive and proprioceptive sensations, causing numbness and contributing to ataxia.\nIn DIPG patients, both CN VIII involvement and loss of proprioceptive sensation contribute to ataxia. Invasion of cerebellar peduncles is also common in DIPG, which is another factor contributing to ataxia.\nDIPG patients may also have other symptoms including headache, nausea and vomiting etc. indicating increased intracranial pressure from edema or hydrocephalus. Approximately 10% of DIPG patients have hydrocephalus at initial presentation [5].\n6.2. Focal gliomas\nFocal gliomas can occur anywhere in the brainstem, but usually not in the vental pons. Their clinical presentations depend on the location.\nFocal tectal gliomas have an insidious clinical course and often compress on cerebral aqueduct to cause a non-communicating hydrocephalus [11, 37]. As a result the initial presentation is usually those signs reflecting increased intracranial pressure: headache, vomiting, diplopia and papilledema.\nFocal gliomas in the midbrain tegmentum and the medulla are usually larger than tectal gliomas and presents with cranial nerve dysfunction, long tract signs and ataxia [11, 38].\n6.3. Dorsal exophytic gliomas\nDorsal exophytic gliomas grow into the fourth ventricle and typically present with signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure including headache, nausea and/or vomiting, lethargy, downward gaze preference, changes in vision and cranial nerve palsies (including abducens palsy). Infants with these tumors may present primarily with failure to thrive. Long tract signs are rare with these tumors [12].\n6.4. Cervicomedullary gliomas\nCervicomedullary gliomas usually have an indolent course because the majority of these tumors are slow growing low-grade lesions. Two presenting syndromes have been described based on the epicenter of these tumors [39]. Medullary syndrome often presents as a failure to thrive secondary to nausea, vomiting or dysphagia. Also seen with this syndrome are sleep apnea, dysarthria and recurrent upper respiratory tract infections. Cervical cord syndrome presents with chronic neck pain and/or progressive myelopathy with spasticity and weakness. Hydrocephalus is unusual in cervicomedullary gliomas.\n7. Imaging studies\nDiagnosis of brainstem gliomas is based on clinical presentations and imaging studies. MRI is the imaging method of choice because of its high resolution and ability to differentiate the natures of lesions (tumor vs. inflammation etc.), which is especially important in the diagnosis of DIPG. MRI enables identification of important anatomic features and localization of tumors with multi-planar views. It allows a precise evaluation of the growth pattern and accurate preoperative diagnosis in most cases. Both T1- and T2-weighted axial and sagittal sequences should be obtained for the basic studies. Other useful sequences include fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), gradient echo (GRE) and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI). DTI tractography may be useful in evaluating the relationship between the tumor and white matter tracts [40], which can be a part of the preoperative planning for nondiffuse brainstem gliomas.\nDIPGs are diagnosed with clinical presentation and magnetic resonance imaging. Since the publication of the Children's Cancer Group (CCG) report in 1993 [41], when a brainstem tumor presents with typical symptoms and radiological appearance, it is usually considered that these findings are diagnostic and a biopsy is rarely performed. If, however, the clinical or radiological presentation is not typical, where brainstem encephalitis or an inflammatory process of the pons cannot be ruled out, a stereotactic biopsy would be needed before initiating radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy.\nDIPGs infiltrate widely. MRI scans show infiltrative expansion of the pons that is typically hypointense on T1-weighted, hyperintense on T2-weighted and FLAIR images, and has no significant dorsal exophytic component. Involvement of adjacent levels of the brainstem and/or cerebellar peduncles is common. Envelopment of the basilar artery is commonly present in DIPG showing the tumor growing ventrally outside of the boundary of the brainstem. Contrast enhancement with gadolinium is variable, with no enhancement being common [42]. Enhancement, if present, is usually patchy, without known prognostic significance. Neuraxis dissemination of DIPG can be seen on MRI in more than 50% of patients during progression [18]. In some cases the tumor may show atypical features including prominent enhancement and/or hypointense T2-weighted/FLAIR signals.\nMagnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is helpful in differential diagnosis when the tumor shows atypical features. Increased Cho/NAA (choline/N-acetyl aspartate) and Cho/Cr (choline/creatine) ratios in DIPG are useful in differentiating it from brainstem encephalitis, demyelination and other inflammatory processes when clinical and MRI presentations are atypical [43, 44]. However, the differentiating power of MRS is limited in NF1-associated DIPG [43].\nBefore the availability of computed tomography (CT) and MRI for the diagnosis of intracranial lesions, focal tectal gliomas could only be found in autopsy evaluations. In the 1950s, when CSF diversion procedures were not as universally successful as of today, Kernohan and Sayre stated that tectal gliomas were \u201cin all probability the smallest tumors in the human body that lead to the death of the patient [45].\u201d\nFocal gliomas show as focal lesions on MRI. Focal tectal gliomas are usually isointense on MRI and show as thickened tectal plate. Tectal gliomas rarely enhance with gadolinium [11, 37]. Central calcification may be noted rarely [46]. Hydrocephalus is seen in the vast majority of tectal gliomas, causing symptoms for which the patients are seeking medical attention.\nFocal gliomas in other areas of the brainstem are usually hypointense on T1-weighted and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. The margins are well defined in focal tegmentum and medullary gliomas, and most are more or less round or spherical. They are frequently cystic with an intense rim enhancement after intravenous contrast agent administration. Most midbrain focal gliomas show upward extension to the thalamus and downward extension to the pons.\nDorsal exophytic gliomas typically erupt through the pia/ependyma early in their growth, so imaging will show that the bulk of tumor outside of the brainstem. Imaging of patients suspected of dorsal exophytic gliomas should include MRI studies with and without intravenous gadolinium of the brain to differentiate this type of tumor from tumors in the fourth ventricle such as primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs). On MRI, dorsal exophytic gliomas appear as a dorsal exophytic expansion into the fourth ventricle or below the cerebellum. They usually show as sharply demarcated hypointense signals on T1-weighted and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. Bright homogeneous contrast enhancement and hydrocephalus are common MRI findings [20].\nImaging of patients suspected cervicomedullary gliomas should include MRI studies with and without intravenous gadolinium of the brain and cervical spine to determine the extent of tumor growth and involvement.\nCervicomedullary gliomas arise from either the lower medulla or upper cervical spinal cord. Growth pattern of the tumor will give some hints as to their epicenters and what structures are being placed at risk by tumor growth. Tumors with epicenters in the upper cervical cord will have their rostral growth blocked by the decussating fibers of the sensory and motor pathways. Instead, the tumor curves dorsally to grow into the cisterna magna at the cervicomedullary junction. Tumors with epicenters in the lower medulla grow centrifugally as focal nodules pushing the surrounding fibers to their side [21].\nCervicomedullary gliomas appear as solid masses within the above-described areas. They are hypointense on T1-weighted and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. They typically enhance homogeneously upon gadolinium injection.\nDiagnosis of brainstem gliomas is based on clinical presentations and imaging studies and needs to address the location and nature of the lesion.\nIt is expected that the patient's clinical course, examination and imaging studies be in agreement. With nondiffuse brainstem gliomas this congruence often prompts surgical intervention (resection and/or relief of hydrocephalus), particularly for those located at the cervicomedullary junction or dorsal exophytic in growth.\nIncongruence between presentation and clinical studies suggests the need for biopsy prior to definitive treatment. In cases with disagreement between the imaging findings and clinical course (i.e. rapidly progressive course with imaging consistent with a focal or low-grade lesion), frozen sections should be obtained at the time of surgery prior to progressing to an aggressive resection. These instances may be representative of a more malignant tumor in which case the potential for iatrogenic injury during resection outweighs the potential benefit of an extensive resection.\nDifferential diagnosis includes other tumors in the brainstem and adjacent regions and lesions of other natures. Other tumors include lymphoma, metastatic tumors, germinoma and nongerminomatous germ cell tumors, PNET, hemangioblastoma, lipoma, acoustic neuroma, etc. Some of these tumors typically arise from nearby regions and may encroach into the brainstem, e.g., primary intracranial germ cell tumors usually occur in the pineal region and can invade the brainstem. The majority of nongerminomatous germ cell tumors can be differentiated by testing for secreted markers in the blood such as \u03b1-fetoprotein and \u03b2-human chorionic growth hormone. PNET occurring in the brainstem, even though relatively rare, can appear similar to DIPG or nondiffuse brainstem gliomas. Because of the difference in treatment options from those for brainstem gliomas, it should be carefully differentiated when suspected. Lesions of other natures include infectious, autoimmune, other inflammatory, vascular and metabolic lesions etc.\nThe role of biopsy in the diagnosis of DIPG remains intensely debated [47, 48]. Before the wide adoption of MRI in the diagnosis of brainstem gliomas, biopsy was performed to confirm diagnosis and provide information on prognosis. However, biopsy has been only performed infrequently since mid-1990s. Of note is that since the Children's Cancer Group (CCG) report in 1993 [41], MRI has superseded biopsy as the main method of diagnosing DIPG. As better methods to characterize tumors become available and more molecularly targeted therapies have become available or are under development in recent years, there are increasing calls to perform biopsy more frequently in clinically diagnosed DIPGs. Brainstem biopsy is safe with low morbidity and mortality rates [49-51]. Survey showed that parents of children with DIPG are generally amenable to biopsy, even if the results may not benefit the patient [52]. Various focus groups have been holding discussions on criteria of recommending biopsy. Some investigational protocols of DIPG have included biopsy and molecular characterization as mandatory components in stratifying subjects for experimental therapy.\nTreatment of brainstem gliomas includes management of pain, bulbar symptoms and motor impairment, relief of hydrocephalus and general support. Brainstem glioma patients should be cared for by a multidisciplinary team including neurosurgeons, non-surgical specialists and other therapists.\nSurgical intervention is indicated for certain nondiffuse brainstem gliomas. Tectal gliomas are usually indolent and present with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is relieved by endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) or ventricular shunt placement. Early resection of tectal gliomas is controversial. Dorsal exophytic gliomas are the most amenable to surgical resection in brainstem gliomas. The goal is to remove the exophytic component, and when safe, followed by debulking of the intrinsic component. Surgical resection is typically recommended early for cervicomedullary gliomas. Subtotal resection can be safely performed in most cases.\nAdjuvant therapy for brainstem gliomas depends on the tumor location, pathological diagnosis and extent of previous surgical resection. Radiation therapy is the standard of care for DIPG, but it is not recommended as an early treatment for nondiffuse brainstem gliomas if pathology shows a low-grade glioma. It is usually used in patients with high-grade pathology, upon clinical and imaging evidence of progression, or late in the disease course [5, 38]. Stereotactic radiosurgery is also used in nondiffuse brainstem gliomas. Chemotherapy has limited use in the management of brainstem gliomas. It is mainly used for high-grade pathology or at late stage of the disease.\n9.1. Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma\nSurgical resection of DIPG is not safe because of its location and infiltrative nature. Biopsy is not indicated for patients with typical clinical presentation and MRI findings. Hydrocephalus, if present, should be treated with either an ETV or a shunt. A histological confirmation might be needed if imaging or clinical history is not typical for a DIPG, or if an investigational protocol requests it.\nThe standard of care for DIPG is involved field external beam radiation therapy, typically delivered at 1.8Gy/fraction for 30-33 fractions in the North America. Significant clinical improvement occurs in 85% of patients receiving radiation therapy, but the improvement is usually transient, lasting only 3-4 months, before progressive decline in clinical status returns [6].\nVarious chemotherapeutic regimens have been studied either alone or in combination with radiation therapy. However, up to date, no chemotherapeutic agent, either alone or in combination, or in conjunction with radiation therapy, has altered the natural history of DIPG. Many patients are enrolled in clinical trials of new agents or previously used agents in previously untested combinations.\nMost tectal gliomas in children have indolent growth with few symptoms except those caused by hydrocephalus. Early resection of focal tectal gliomas is controversial and infrequently done. Often, these tumors are managed by relief of hydrocephalus, followed by clinical observation and periodic MRI scans [53, 54]. Treatment of the hydrocephalus typically includes ETV to restore CSF flow. Shunting is an alternative or can be considered for patients who fail ETV. Surgical resection may be considered on rare occasions.\nFocal gliomas in other areas of the brainstem, including tegmentum and medulla, are usually indicated for surgical resection. Tissue diagnosis before radical resection is indicated for lesions with atypical clinical and imaging findings. For those patients initially put on observation, when tumor progression is observed, biopsy or sometimes radical resection is indicated. Transventricular endoscopic biopsy may be performed with or without CSF diversion when the tumor is adjacent to a ventricle\u2019s walls [55]. Stereotactic biopsies may be considered for lesions that cannot be approached with endoscopy where accurate histological diagnosis is warranted but more aggressive surgical resection is deemed unsafe. Surgical resection of focal, well-circumscribed lesions provides not only a tissue diagnosis but also a prolonged event-free survival in many cases.\nConventional radiation therapy has demonstrated limited efficacy in patients with focal gliomas. Tumors with high-grade features should be treated with radiation therapy after recovery from surgery or when surgery is not indicated, while low-grade tumors may be observed and treated only if there is subsequent tumor progression [5, 38]. Implantation of iodine-129 (I-129) or iodine-125 (I-125) seeds has been used in some patients with acceptable tumor control. I-125 is an alternative to resection, external beam radiation therapy and chemotherapy in children with progressively symptomatic low-grade gliomas in deep and eloquent areas where high postoperative morbidity would be expected with open surgery [56]. Stereotactic radiosurgery has been used as an alternative means for managing focal brainstem gliomas [57]. Its use has been reported in patients with progressive tumor growth or worsening neurological deficits.\nThe role of chemotherapy has not been well evaluated for focal brainstem gliomas. In general, for tumors that total or subtotal resection has been performed on and subsequently progress, chemotherapy may be considered with or without radiation therapy. In children younger than 3 years old, chemotherapy may be used alone in attempts to delay the need for radiation therapy.\nDorsal exophytic gliomas are the group most amenable to surgical resection among brainstem gliomas and total or near total resection alone usually results in a good prognosis [12, 20]. Long-term event-free survival is expected when these tumors are simply shaven down to the level of the floor of the fourth ventricle. They should not be aggressively \"chased\" into the brainstem. In patients with findings consistent with an obstructive hydrocephalus who have not previously undergone a CSF diversion procedure (e.g. ETV or shunting), placement of an external ventricular drain may be considered. Tumor specimens should be sent early for frozen sections. A high-grade lesion is an indication to halt the surgery, as there is no proven long-term benefit to debulking aggressive lesions. Resection of the tumor takes place primarily within the fourth ventricle on the extra-axial part. In instances where there is a large intramedullary component to the tumor or if it is felt that damage to the functional tissues of the brainstem would be unavoidable, subtotal resection should be attempted. Some have advocated that resection carried to the level of the floor of the fourth ventricle confers a sufficient balance between disease control and preservation of neurological function by minimizing the risk of injuring functional brainstem tissues.\nRadiation therapy is used for inoperable tumors or recurrent disease not amenable to re-resection [5, 38]. Treatment primarily consists of conventional external beam radiation therapy with 30-33 daily fractions of 1.8Gy/fraction [58-60]. The use of stereotactic radiation therapy and radiosurgery has also been examined in small cohorts. Chemotherapy has no proven efficacy in the treatment of dorsal exophytic gliomas [61].\nCervicomedullary gliomas are treated in a fashion similar to that of an intramedullary spinal cord glioma or a focal glioma of the medulla depending on the location of the epicenter. Specimens should be sent early for frozen sections. Identification of a high-grade lesion is an indication to halt the surgery, as there is no proven long-term benefit to debulking aggressive lesions. Surgical resection should begin with internal debulking from the center to periphery.\nAs the majority of these tumors are low grade, surgery is typically the initial treatment modality. Radiation therapy should be reserved for advanced or recurrent diseases not amenable to surgical resection [5, 38]. Treatment primarily consists of conventional fractionated external beam radiation given at 1.8Gy/fraction for 30-33 fractions [58-60]. The use of stereotactic radiation therapy and radiosurgery has also been examined in small cohorts. Although a number of trials have examined the efficacy of chemotherapy in the treatment of DIPG, no role has been defined for its use in the treatment of cervicomedullary tumors [61].\n10. Outcomes\nThe outcome of brainstem gliomas depends on the location and pathological grade of the tumor. Focal, dorsal exophytic and cervicomedullary gliomas typically have a fairly good prognosis. In contrast, the median survival of DIPG patients is only about one year despite numerous investigational therapies. In both DIPG and nondiffuse brainstem gliomas, patients with neurofibromatosis, older age, and longer duration of symptoms before diagnosis are thought to have a more favorable outcome [10].\n10.1. Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas\nExternal beam radiation therapy transiently improves the neurological condition in 85% of DIPG patients, but the disease usually progresses within 3-4 months. No treatment has been shown to be effective at the time of progression. Clinical deterioration is usually fast once progression is detected. Median survival is 10-12 months. Only 10% of patients survive beyond two years after diagnosis [6]. Children under the age of 3 years, young adults over 18 and those with NF1 may have a better prognosis.\n10.2. Focal gliomas\nLesions typical of tectal gliomas on imaging studies usually need treatment for hydrocephalus only and rarely progress over many years. Hydrocephalus can be well managed in tectal gliomas. ETV for tectal gliomas has a success rate exceeding 70% and as high as 90%. Focal gliomas in other areas of the brainstem, especially if the pathology is pilocytic astrosytoma, can be cured by gross total resection but long-term follow-up is necessary. One study noted a 4-year progression-free survival rate of 94% and an overall 4-year survival rate of 100% in 17 patients with focal midbrain gliomas, which included tectal gliomas [11]. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be an effective primary treatment or adjunct to open surgery for focal brainstem gliomas. After gamma knife radiosurgery, most patients improved or stabilized but some worsened [57].\n10.3. Dorsal exophytic gliomas\nDorsal exophytic gliomas are amenable to surgical resection. Gross total or subtotal resection can be achieved in most cases. They have a good outcome after surgical resection. Among 18 patients who underwent surgery, 17 survived and only four showed evidence of radiological progression after a median follow-up of 113 months [12]. Subsequent progression may require re-resection or radiation therapy.\n10.4. Cervicomedullary gliomas\nTumor control can be achieved by surgical resection in most patients with cervicomedullary gliomas. 5-year progression-free survival rate is 60% and overall 5-year survival rate about 90% after surgical resection alone [14].\n11. Recent advances and future directions\nBecause of the dismal prognosis of DIPG and the lack of therapeutic efficacy of current chemotherapies, innovative approach is urgently needed for the disease. One promising drug delivery method that may improve the outcome of DIPG patients is convection-enhanced delivery (CED). Another recent advance is the molecular characterization of DIPG, which may provide guidance for developing new therapies.\n11.1. Convection-enhanced delivery\nThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents a significant obstacle to achieving therapeutic concentrations of systemically delivered agents in brain tumors. Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) is a method of local delivery that bypasses the BBB [62]. CED is typically accomplished by inserting a small-bore cannula directly into a tumor followed by drug infusion through the cannula. Experimental studies have led to the recognition that CED can be characterized by several common features:\nLocal drug concentration can exceed that achieved with systemic administration by several thousand times.\nSystemic exposure by efflux into the vasculature is minimal.\nTissue penetration by CED is well beyond that achieved by other local delivery methods that rely on diffusion rather than bulk flow such as drug-impregnated polymers.\nDistribution is preferentially along white matter tracts, a pattern reminiscent of glioma cell invasion.\nCED can be used to deliver macromolecules such as monoclonal antibodies or recombinant toxins, which is not possible by systemic administration in the brain parenchyma or tumor.\nIt is hypothesized that CED is ideally suited for the treatment of DIPG based on several features particular to this disease such as the tumor\u2019s relative compact growth pattern, its tendency to migrate along white matter fibers, the rarity of tumor related cysts and the lack of cavitary changes from radiation therapy.\nThe safety of CED in the brainstem has been well established in rodents and non-human primates [63-71]. The tolerability of several therapeutic agents delivered using CED into the brainstem has also been investigated and most of them proven to be safe at high concentrations [72-78]. This approach has been safely used on a limited clinical basis.\nAlthough it is clear that certain limitations exist in the application of CED for the treatment of DIPG, currently existing preclinical data are sufficient to guide the design of clinical studies. Decisions in the design of these studies include the selection of an appropriate agent or agents, surgical technique, parameters of infusion, timing of treatment and methods of assessing distribution, local concentration, safety and therapeutic efficacy. These questions, however, should not be a barrier for clinical implementation, but rather as goals for early phase clinical studies. Based on current preclinical data, CED may serve as the basis for a new approach in the treatment of DIPG.\n11.2. Molecular characterization of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas\nA promising advance that may aid the development of therapeutic agents for the treatment of DIPG is the recent molecular characterization of this tumor. Four groups independently discovered that platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and its receptors (PDGFR) are amplified or over-expressed in the majority of these tumors [22-26]. Another type of growth factor receptors involved in DIPG is epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Expression of EGFR was reported in the majority of high grade and less than 20% of low grade DIPG by immunohistochemistry staining [27]. The same study also reported that 25% of grade III and 50% of grade IV tumors had EGFR gene amplification. Recent data show that strong EGFR immunohistochemistry staining was seen in about 27% cases [23], lower than in the earlier report, and that amplification rate of the EGFR gene is also much lower (about 7-9%) [23, 25]. Unlike the case in pediatric supratentorial HGG, CDKN2A deletion is non-existent in DIPG [25, 28] and amplification of CDK4 and CDK6 only occurs at a low rate [25]. Approximately 50% of DIPG had p53 mutation [29, 30] and three groups reported loss of a region of 17p containing the p53 gene in 31%, 57% and 64% cases, respectively [23, 28, 31]. In approximately 50% of DIPG patients, allelic loss of a region of 10q where PTEN is located was observed [31-33]. Like in adult malignant gliomas, the interleukin-13 receptor subtype IL-13R\u03b12 is highly expressed in DIPG [79].\nSome of these genetic aberrations have been the basis for DIPG animal models that could be powerful tools for studying the disease, e.g., Becher et al. designed a mouse model of DIPG based on PDGF overexpression [22]. Some of the molecular abnormalities have already been used as therapeutic targets. There are therapeutic monoclonal antibodies targeting PDGFR, namely IMC-3G3 (ImClone) and MEDI-575 (MedImmune), that need to be tested for efficacy in treating DIPG, preferably delivered through CED into the tumor since they are macromolecules unable to cross the BBB. There are numerous small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors with strong inhibitory effects on PDGFR and/or EGFR kinases, and inhibitors of downstream signaling molecules such as AKT and mTOR, that are undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of DIPG. There are also targeted recombinant toxins, e.g. IL13-PE38QQR, utilizing IL-13 as the targeting moiety to target tumor cells overexpressing IL-13 receptors. Even though biopsy of DIPG is far from being routine, when these molecularly targeted therapies come to clinical use, it would be ideal for the tumor to be pre-screened for specific targets of those agents.\nBrainstem gliomas are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with considerably diverse natural histories and prognoses. They are classified into four groups based on their location, focality and growth patterns. Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) account for approximately 80% of brainstem gliomas. The overwhelming majority of them is high grade. They are not resectable and the standard of care is involved field external beam radiation therapy. They have a dismal prognosis. The vast majority of focal, dorsal exophytic and cervicomedullary gliomas is low grade, often amenable to surgical resection and has a more favorable outcome.\nDeveloping effective therapy for DIPG is so far frustrating as neither new schedules of radiation therapy nor chemotherapeutic regimens being studied have improved survival of these patients. As better molecular characterization methods become available, there are increasing calls to perform biopsy and tissue diagnosis in clinically diagnosed DIPGs. Recent molecular characterization of DIPG identified some genetic aberrations that could be used as effective therapeutic targets, including PDGF and PDGF receptors. There are both large and small molecule agents targeting these genetic aberrations that are either available or under development. However, most of these agents are unable to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to reach the tumor. Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) is a drug delivery method to bypass the BBB. It has proven capability to deliver high local drug concentrations and the safety of its use in the brainstem has been established in small and large animals and a small number of patients. CED, combined with conventional chemotherapeutic drugs and novel targeted agents, has the potential to produce an effective treatment for DIPG.\n4.Pathology and pathophysiology\n5.Molecular genetics\n6.Clinical presentation\n7.Imaging studies\n8.Diagnosis and differential diagnosis\n10.Outcomes\n11.Recent advances and future directions\nZhiping Zhou and Mark M.

        "raw_content": "Are We Killing Kindergarten?\nI just read this article by Amanda Moreno, the Associate Director of the Marsico Institute for Early Learning and Literacy. She speaks so well to many of my concerns, so I thought that I would share it with you. That isn\u2019t to say that I am inagreement with every point. I do think that children learn through play although I do agree that play is not a strategy for stuffing knowledge into a child.\nRead the article and share thoughts.\nby Amanda Moreno, Ph.D\nI want you to know it took a lot of self-discipline not to title this post \u201cKilling Kindergarteners.\u201d In addition to being an early education researcher, I am also a mother of a 5-year-old currently in kindergarten, so I can tell you that is pretty much the way it feels. All around this country, families are trying to figure out why their small children already dread going to a place that was supposed to serve as a gentle transition to formal learning. They are struggling with ambivalent allegiances, not wanting to be the over-protective parent who babies their child, but at the same time not being fully convinced that their child has a behavior problem just because they don\u2019t enjoy sitting at a desk, independently going through worksheets for a solid hour.\nIt has become axiomatic in my field to say that early learning expectations are a full year ahead of what they were 20 years ago. Alfie Kohn points out an even more critical piece of this puzzle when he says that \u201cThe typical American kindergarten now resembles a really bad first-grade classroom\u201d (italics mine). Somehow I don\u2019t think Robert Fulghum\u2019s list of essential lessons learned in kindergarten would have the same ring to it if among \u201cshare everything\u201d and \u201cplay fair\u201d appeared \u201c100 sight words,\u201d \u201ccommand of capitalization and punctuation,\u201d and \u201ccompose and decompose numbers 11-19.\u201d Cynicism aside, a year\u2019s worth of additional expectations isn\u2019t in itself the biggest problem if you have a highly skilled teacher who can individualize to suit just about any learning style, and can make just about any learning task age-appropriate and engaging. That is a huge if, I would guess, according to most kindergarteners today.\nIs teaching 5-year-olds really that complex an enterprise? It is true that little kids are like sponges in that they absorb discrete pieces of knowledge daily, naturally, and without effort, such as new vocabulary, locations of things in their house, how specific toys work, and what their family dinner and bedtime routines are. But in formal learning settings \u2014 at least as they are on average in the U.S. \u2014 the game completely changes. For better or worse, the \u201cgreat divider\u201d in formal learning settings may be whether the learner can decide to tackle new tasks or problems, not because she wants to but simply because she is being asked to. Is it OK for my 5-year-old to learn about Native American history and culture? Sure it is. The parts of the eye and inner ear \u2014 why not? But there is no intrinsic motivation when the lesson emphasizes the proper spelling \u201cTlingit\u201d or \u201ccochlea\u201d and there never will be. No, the kindergarteners who do well with this kind of task are the ones who have already developed the ability to override their intrinsic motivation. This takes more than compliance \u2014 it takes executive function, which is in part attention and memory, and in part the ability to inhibit a pre-potent response. You know, like my daughter\u2019s pre-potent response to color with the crayon that most attracts her eye, rather than limiting her choices to the browns, yellows, and oranges that were actually found in traditional Native American garb, as the curriculum required.\nThis sounds awful \u2014 like the only successful kindergartener is one with a broken spirit. It wouldn\u2019t have to be this way if the educational system were structured to accommodate the natural, normal, and highly variable rates of development that occur in early childhood. All typically developing children acquire the basics of executive function eventually. So universal a finding across cultures is this, that it came to be known as the \u201c5-to-7 year shift\u201d \u2014 and it is the reason why formal schooling starts around this age worldwide. In this country, the word around makes all the difference. Given the range of ages at which children enter kindergarten (there is about a 25-month spread between the youngest and oldest students), and the three-year age range within which executive function skills begin to become more adult-like, children can be anywhere between preschool and third grade when the complex set of abilities required to decide to learn comes online sufficiently well. Even after controlling for age, kindergarteners still show greater variability in executive function than either fifth graders or preschoolers, indicating there is something unique about the cognitive reorganizations that take place during this period of life.\nOur educational system is not equipped to support the application of this kind of knowledge. John Medina has said, \u201cIf you wanted to create an education environment that was directly opposed to what the brain was good at doing, you would probably design something like a classroom.\u201d\nIn early childhood, when children are just beginning (and did I mention, at highly individualized rates?) to acquire the ability to focus under non-optimal circumstances and learn anyway, this is not only unproductive (as it is for learners of all ages), it is dangerous. For young children for whom intentional learning isn\u2019t even on the radar screen yet, every day they spend sitting at a desk and filling out worksheets is like being in a foreign language immersion program with a teacher who believes they\u2019re fluent.\nThis is not a debate about exploratory vs. direct instruction in the early grades, or play vs. structure, or creative learning vs. traditional academics, or any other label for this false dichotomy. Research supports both, depending on the group of children studied and methods used. While I staunchly believe that play is a human right, you don\u2019t fix the misguided question of how to stuff knowledge into a 5-year-old\u2019s brain simply by doing it \u201cthrough play.\u201d Similarly, when people tell you direct instruction \u201cworks,\u201d ask them what it worked for. If the answer was standardized tests, then you merely have an unsurprising match between method and outcome. Either way, bad teaching will be the result if a kindergarten teacher practices (or is forced to practice) any style in the extreme, and without an arsenal of creative tools for individualizing to children. For those brilliant kindergarten teachers who do possess such a toolbox, the standards and testing craze has tamped their best instincts into hiding.\nI agree with Holly Robinson who says that, from a parent\u2019s perspective, the immediate answer lies in finding the right fit for your child \u2014 a process we are right in the middle of with our own daughter. Unfortunately, good options are not nearly plentiful enough, and those that exist are not accessible enough to families and children that likely need them the most. In the meantime, my colleagues and I are trying to do our part by speaking out for differentiating education reform efforts for young children, incorporating modern child and brain development principles into teacher and principal prep programs, and consulting to early education initiatives about how to answer to the pressures of accountability without \u201ckilling kindergarteners\u201d in the process.\nThis entry was posted in Investigating Choice Time: Inquiry, Exploration, and Play and tagged 5 to y year shift, Alfie Kohn, Amanda Moreno, differentiating instruction, direct instruction, Holly Robinson, John Medina, killing kindergarten, learning through play, Robert Fulghum, standards on June 10, 2012 by Renee.",

        "title": "Businesses Don\u2019t Fail, People Fail Businesses - IRIS",
        "raw_content": "Businesses Don\u2019t Fail, People Fail Businesses\nWatching the reality TV shows Restaurant Impossible and Bar Rescue has become something of a ritual at my house. My 11 year old is a fan of both shows but slightly favors Jon Taffer\u2019s Bar Rescue. I\u2019m not sure what originally hooked us into watching other people struggle through the challenges of owning and operating a small business. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that we relate to the experiences of the small business owners or that the hosts of both shows employ a \u201cno holds barred\u201d approach that\u2019s provocative and makes for good TV. Is there something to be learned by business leaders from watching shows like Restaurant Impossible, Bar Rescue, and the like? If you\u2019ve been around awhile, perhaps not anything new but it does remind us of the importance of a fundamental truth in business: businesses don\u2019t fail, people fail businesses.\nShows like these share a common plot line. The story begins with a once successful business that has fallen on hard times. The owner is generally in self-denial and blames outside forces for his bad luck and has accumulated a mountain of debt hoping that business will someday improve. Time passes but nothing changes for the better. Hopelessness then apathy set in. The business falls into disrepair, it can\u2019t attract or retain competent staff, and the quality of its products and services fall well below acceptable. To add insult to injury, patrons who are active in social media have taken to merciless disparagement. In a final and desperate attempt to save the business, an expert is called in to rescue it from imminent demise.\nThe expert (Robert Irvine from Restaurant Impossible or Jon Taffer from Bar Rescue) shows up and quickly identifies the key issues. Working closely with the owner, they are able to turn things around in a matter of days. How are they able to turn around a business that has taken months if not years to decline to the point of imminent failure and turn it around in a matter of days? Where do they start? The team, of course. In a typical episode, the expert begins by convincing the owner that his business will never succeed if he continues to employ people who lack the necessary skills to perform their job, lack the necessary commitment to the business\u2019 success, or both. Those that can\u2019t or refuse to change their ways or who aren\u2019t trainable are fired immediately (see Harpooning the Sharks for further insights). The rest are developed, i.e., assessed and trained where gaps are identified.\nFrankly, once the issues related to the team are addressed, the rest: the new and improved menu, the makeover of the facility and brand, etc., would naturally follow. Of course, that wouldn\u2019t make for good television. The fact remains, it\u2019s the team that makes or breaks a business. As business leaders we must continuously assess and develop our staff to meet the challenges of the present. And, we must anticipate coming changes and prepare our staff to meet future challenges.",

        "raw_content": "Home/Printing/Why Your Business Should Advertise With Corporate Calendars\nCreative Calendar Designs to Promote Your Company\nUsing a calendar to promote your company is a great way to keep customers reminded of your business. This article has tips on why you should advertise with a calendar.\nWe\u2019re in the middle of the digital age when you can do everything on a smartphone, including sending a message, writing notes, or setting schedules. Does the paper calendar still have a place?\nYes, it still has a huge place in our daily lives, and that makes it effective as a promotional item for your business as well. According to studies, around 70% of those who receive one plan to do business with the giver.\nAs a business, you need to learn how to fit calendars into your marketing strategy. Let\u2019s see how this essential item with creative calendar designs can help you increase your conversion rates.\nEveryone Needs a Calendar in Their Lives\nA physical calendar is a necessity despite the presence of a virtual one on smartphones. Sometimes, all we need is a quick look at the wall or at our desk to look at a date without having to get our phones and go through the motions of opening the app.\nAlthough buying a calendar has waned since the advent of the new technology, it\u2019s still popular among consumers. That\u2019s why it\u2019s an effective promotional item: it caters to the needs of the people supporting your business. Professionals at their office still have one at their desk, and every home could use one hanging on their kitchen wall.\nIt\u2019s a tool that helps people to better manage their time, and it helps greatly if it\u2019s available physically. Some people even deem it to be more effective than to-do lists that people also like to have a physical representation, whether on a notepad or on a physical planner.\nConsumers Love It and Others Will, Too\nSpending the advertising budget on a calendar instead of flyers or radio advertisements will get you the trust of consumers. But how and why is this so?\nIt\u2019s because your customers perceive the free calendar as a gift, creating a positive feeling toward your brand. In fact, the study above shows 82% of the recipients say that they enjoy getting it.\nOn the other hand, they won\u2019t feel the appreciation seeing you on television or interrupting the Facebook video they\u2019re watching. The latter point will even annoy them, which then reflects negatively on you.\nFurthermore, its nature as something that people have to display somewhere conspicuous opens up the possibility of other people seeing your brand. If it\u2019s early enough, it may encourage them to support your business to get a free calendar as well.\nIf it\u2019s not, however, it still allows you to reach a demographic that may or may not have heard or considered your brand before seeing it on a friend or family\u2019s property. This removes the possible limitation of this advertising campaign, which is possibly targeting those who are already supporting your brand. Not that it\u2019s a bad thing, though \u2013 it\u2019s always a good idea to give back to people that allow you to remain in business.\nThat\u2019s a Whole Year of Advertising\nHow many days or weeks do people hold onto a brochure? A flyer or pamphlet may seem interesting at first, but it will often end up in the trash or drawers where they\u2019ll spend the rest of their lives.\nWith calendars, you don\u2019t have to worry about it never seeing the light of day again. People will almost certainly put it in a prominent location where they and other people can look at it constantly.\nEvery time they look at a calendar, which is possibly more than a couple of times a day, they see your brand. If you do a good job on the calendar design, it will generate even more positive feelings.\nAfter the calendar expires in 12 months, people are also more likely to come back to your business to get another calendar. Humans are creatures of habit and we like things that are familiar to us, so your consumers will likely prefer your company\u2019s calendar over others.\nWith that in mind, make sure you properly plan in advance when you\u2019ll start handing out those freebies. You don\u2019t want your competitors to get to your consumer\u2019s desk or wall first, especially if the design is better than yours.\nThe Only Limit to Creative Calendar Designs Is Your Imagination\nCalendars are customizable, so you can design it however you want. It\u2019s best if you choose a design that best represents your brand.\nIn the automotive industry? Put attractive cars on every page.\nDo you support environmentalism? Put pictures of nature and its inhabitants, or if you really want to drive the point home, put photos of balding forests or endangered species.\nHowever, don\u2019t think that you can only put pictures that represent your brand. No one\u2019s stopping you from putting adorable baby animals or the best sights in the world. You can also showcase local destinations, which opens up the avenue for you to hold a photography contest wherein the winners\u2019 photos will go to your calendar.\nCreative calendars are a hit among consumers. You can get calendar design ideas all over the internet, or you can always have the manufacturer do the design for you like what Island Printing does. Nevertheless, you can also go for a simple design and colour scheme for a more professional look.\nA Calendar\u2019s Versatility Opens up a Lot of Possibilities\nAside from the design, you can pretty much put anything you want on a calendar. Want to add coupons? Attach one to every month, which you can make to be valid for that certain month only.\nYou can also personalize the calendars with special marks on certain events. A restaurant, for example, may print a sports league schedule on calendars. This way, they\u2019re on the minds of sports enthusiast when they\u2019re craving something to eat on sports day.\nLike the above, your imagination is the only limit. Put together a calendar with special dates for gardeners, which may include recommendations on when to plant or harvest certain plants.\nOf course, don\u2019t forget to put your address and contact information, too! Whenever a customer thinks of contacting or visiting your business, make sure the information they need is easily accessible to them.\nGet Custom Calendars for Businesses Now\nInterested yet on getting calendars for your advertising campaign? Great! Any time is the best time to start planning for the next calendar year.\nContact us and let\u2019s help you with creative calendar designs. We\u2019ll work together to make the best calendar to make your customers happy.",

        "title": "Take Five: Explorers | ITALY Magazine",
        "raw_content": "Barry Lillie | Monday, October 13, 2014 - 08:30\nContinuing with our Take Five series, this week we look at five Italian explorers and their discoveries.\n[Read Take Five: Chefs here; Take Five: Novelists here.]\nItaly has produced many explorers of international fame, with one of the most famous being Marco Polo (1254 \u2013 1324), the man responsible for epic voyages to China and the Far East. Polo is remembered also for his friendship with Kublai Khan, the subject of the 1797 classic poem that bears his name by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.\nAlso the world over knows the name of Genoa-born Christopher Columbus (1451 \u2013 1506), the man whose voyages contributed to shape the modern world. Alongside these famous names, Italy has gone on to produce many more accomplished explorers; here are five who have made a difference to the world as we now know it.\nArdito Desio (1897 \u2013 2001)\n[Desio, in the center, on the K2.]\nBorn on 18 April 1897 in Palmanova, in the Udine province, Ardito Desi led the first successful expedition to scale K2, the world\u2019s seconds tallest mountain. He became famous for his exploration of mountain ranges.\nBefore graduating from the University of Florence in 1920 with a degree in Natural Sciences (Geology), Desio had been a lieutenant in the Alpini, the elite mountain military corps of the Italian army; he was once taken prisoner by the Austrians during an exercise on Mount Pasubio, in the northern Italian region of Trentino-Alto Adige.\nFor a further three years, he continued with more advanced study, before becoming an assistant university lecturer and later a Professor of Geology, working in Pavia before accepting a lifetime post at the University of Milan.\nDuring this period, he undertook expeditions to the Apennine mountain range and the Alps (1920), which resulted in his publishing a volume of his geological findings. He then went on to explore mountainous areas of Africa; in 1926, he set off on a geological expedition to the Oasis of Jaghbub, in the Libyan Desert; his findings were later published by the Royal Geographical Society of Italy.\nBetween university engagements, he became a seasoned traveller, going on to explore the Middle and Near East: in 1939, he was credited with the discovery of oil deposits and gas in Libya and in 1962 he became the first Italian to reach the South Pole.\nHis expeditions led to more accurate mapping of the mountainous regions he visited and his findings led him to become a consultant geologist for the Edison Company, with its hydroelectric plants in various countries, including Italy, Brazil and Turkey.\nAlthough, due to his age, he was unable to take part in the final scaling of K2 (8,611 m), the success of the ascent on 31st July 1954, is credit to his meticulous preparation and planning and the disciplined military strategy he applied to the climb.\nGiovanni Caboto (c. 1450 \u2013 c. 1499)\nSpeculation arises around the actual birthplace and date of the explorer Caboto, who, under the commission of England\u2019s reigning monarch, Henry VII, on 24th June 1497 discovered new regions of North America. Despite being born Giovanni Caboto, he would become better known under the name of John Cabot, and it is widely thought that his was the first European encounter with the mainland of North America since the Vikings in the 11th century.\nHistorians have narrowed his birthplace down to either Gaeta in the Kingdom of Naples or Castiglione Chiavarese in the Republic of Genoa, though he spent his early years living in and around Venice. In 1476, he officially became a citizen of Venice and, around 1490, he moved to England, relocating to the port of Bristol.\nFifty days into the voyage to Asia aboard his ship, Matthew, he landed on the east coast of North America: this claim is not without skepticism as the journey is thought to have led him to discover the shores of Newfoundland rather than America. Upon his return to England, after claiming the land in the name of his king, he was awarded a substantial yearly pension that was equivalent to four times that of a sailor\u2019s annual salary.\nIn May 1498, Cabot once again set sail from Bristol, this time with 300 men and five ships. One of the ships sustained damage and sailed to Ireland, while the other four continued on with the expedition, only to meet with a mysterious end. Not much is known of the fate of Cabot and his men, just speculation that the ships were lost at sea, however some historians believe he returned to England in 1500, but this has never been conclusively proven.\nIt is firmly believed that it was because of John Cabot, and his royal commission, that America went on to adopt the English language.\nReinhold Messner (1944 - )\nDespite his German name, Messner, who has secured the accolade of the greatest climber in history, is an Italian citizen. Born on 17th September 1944 in Bressanone (Brixen) in the South Tyrol of northern Italy, he spent his early years climbing in the Dolomites and reached his first summit at the tender age of just five years old. By the time he had reached his twenties, along with his brother G\u00fcnther, he was ranked alongside Europe\u2019s best climbers.\nFluent in Italian, German and English, Messner was the first climber to reach the summit of the world\u2019s 14 highest peaks, measuring 8,000 metres plus. He is also the climber that conquered Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen.\nIn 1970, adopting the Alpine climbing tactics developed by Hermann Buhl, which Messner claims are more respectful of the mountain and its nature, he undertook his first major Himalayan climb and the then unconquered Rupal face of Nanga Parbat.\nThe expedition, which was a success, was marred by tragedy as both Messner and his brother G\u00fcnther reached the summit, but sadly G\u00fcnther died two days later during their descent of the Diamir face. His body, it was claimed, was later taken by an avalanche and lost; it was only due to a freak heatwave in June 2005 that G\u00fcnther\u2019s remains were eventually recovered.\nMessner went on to conquer many more mountains, in fact far too many to mention in this feature, and it is for the sheer scale of his achievements that he was awarded the name of greatest climber in history.\nReinhold Messner went on to become a MEP for the Italian Green Party, serving from 1999 to 2004, helped to establish the Messner Mountain Museum that focuses on education and conservation of mountains internationally, and is the author of 63 published books relating to climbing and his experiences.\nUmberto Nobile (1885 \u2013 1978)\nAeronautic engineer and arctic explorer Umberto Nobile was born in Lauro, in Campania\u2019s province of Avellino, and graduated from the University of Naples with degrees in both industrial and electrical engineering.\nBefore the outbreak of the First World War, he was working for the Italian railways, helping to install the electrification of the tracks. However, his fascination with the work of airship pioneers led to a change in direction and, in 1911, he entered the field of aeronautical engineering.\nAt 29 years old, when Italy entered the war in 1915, he was declared physically unfit for service and prevented from enlisting; he therefore spent the war working on and overseeing the construction of military airships. None of his designs flew until after peace was declared.\nAfter the war, he formed a partnership that collectively went on to redesign a medium-sized, semi-rigid airship. Nobile was noted saying that this hybrid of the rigid and non-rigid types was superior to previous designs.\nIn 1925, the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen asked Nobile to collaborate on a venture to become the first aviators to reach the North Pole: previously Amundsen had flown 280 km (150 nautical miles) of the Pole.\nWith their airship, Norge, complete, an account from an American air crew claiming to have flown over the Pole almost ended the Norwegian/Italian dream. Later, it transpired that the American claim was false and so, on 11th May 1926, fifteen and a half hours after departing from Svalbard on the Norwegian archipelago, the Norge airship made history as it flew over the North Pole.\nA second Polar expedition was devised, this time solely an Italian venture. On 23rd May 1928, the N-class airship Italia flew to a Siberian group of Arctic islands before crossing over the North Pole on the 24th of May. On its return flight, the ship encountered a storm and crashed; ten of the 16 men in the crew were thrown onto the ice, and one of them was killed on impact. The remaining six crewmen trapped inside the buoyant superstructure drifted off to certain death.\nOf the men trapped on the ice, some chose to head off in search of help, and after a month of searching by rescue planes, the remaining survivors were recovered.\nMany blamed Nobile for the crash and subsequent deaths, a controversy that hung over him until 1945, when the Italian Air Force absolved him of all responsibility, promoting him to the rank of lieutenant general and awarding him severance pay dating back to 1928.\nPietro Paolo Savorgnan di Brazz\u00e0 (1852 \u2013 1905)\nBorn in Castel Gandolfo, near Rome, the seventh son of Count Ascanio Savorgnan di Brazz\u00e0, Pietro was interested in exploration from a very early age and, after graduating from the French naval school in Brest, he joined the French ship, Jeanne d'Arc, sailing to Algeria.\nAfter first seeing Africa during an anti-slavery voyage in 1872, Brazza took over the V\u00e9nus, and sailed several times up the Gabon and Ogoou\u00e9 rivers. His next feat was to trace the source of the Ogoou\u00e9 River during an expedition funded by wealthy French friends in high places.\nA second, French-funded mission ensued whereby following the now familiar Ogoue River, then downstream via the Lefini. He then discovered that it was possible to reach the Congo without crossing into Portuguese territory.\nHe spent many months in the Congo, establishing trade links for his French benefactors, even once meeting fellow explorer Henry Morton Stanley, the man famous for uttering the greeting, \"Dr Livingstone, I presume?\" For his trips he had several custom-made items: one was a travel case made by the now famous fashion house Louis Vuitton, which, once opened, converted in a portable camp-bed.\nIn 1905, during his last tour of the Congo, he contracted dysentery and died. He later received a dedication that named him as a founding father of the Republic of the Congo, a decision that has divided opinion.\n8 Health Tips from Ancient Rome\nDinner: Ancient Roman Style\nChocolate\u2019s Italian History\nFollowing the Footsteps of Napoleon in Exile on Elba",

Among other things, the court decided the defendant did not have a legitimate expectation of privacy in his driveway. The driveway was \"open to strangers, such as delivery people and neighborhood children, who could wander across it uninvited,\" the court said.\nEarlier that same month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that law enforcement did, in fact, need a warrant to conduct \"around-the-clock\" tracking of suspects with a GPS device. In that case, federal agents had used a GPS attached to a suspect's car to track his movements for a month - without a warrant. In deciding the defendant's Fourth Amendment rights had been violated, Judge Douglas Ginsburg said, in part:\nProlonged GPS monitoring reveals an intimate picture of the subject's life that he expects no one to have short perhaps of his spouse ...\nThe split among the appellate circuits set up the perfect scenario for U.S. Supreme Court review of the issue, which was granted late last month, according to Reuters. The high court will hear the case in its next term, which begins in October.\nAs IT Threats Evolve, Security Costs Rise\nIs the Sony Breach Worse than Others?",

        "title": "Prep Now for Changes in B2B Integration, EDI Space | Blogs | ITBusinessEdge.com",
        "raw_content": "Prep Now for Changes in B2B Integration, EDI Space\nLoraine Lawson | | Posted 31 May, 2011\nSPS Commerce, a supply chain management company, acquired Direct EDI, a provider of cloud-based B2B integration services earlier this month. The press release stated \"the acquisition strengthens SPS' position as one of the industry's largest and fastest growing providers of cloud based supply chain solutions.\"\nAn SPS spokesperson added that the acquisition would give them access to EDI Direct's cloud integration customers.\nWhat caught my eye, though, was that the press release also talked a great deal about integration and giving clients access to \"one of the broadest trading communities in the retail supply chain with more than 1,500 prebuilt connections to retailers, grocers and distributors.\"\n\"Community\" - that's exactly the type of shift toward greater collaboration, communications and Web 2.0-ness Margaret Dawson of Hubspan predicted last December when she said we would see changes in the B2B integration space. In her interview with IT Business Edge, Dawson said:\nIf we look at what the B2B integration providers are going to be adding, I think they themselves need to add more of that collaboration-for-business-type of capabilities. So you're going to be seeing, over the next one to three years, an increase in that collaborative, Web 2.0, self-service community discovery-type of capability. I think that's going to be happening across the landscape and the ones that are well-positioned to do that are obviously the ones that are already doing more Web-based, cloud-based technology.\nThe B2B space actually started shifting about two years ago, when GXS and Inovis merged in 2009. Then, in June 2010, IBM acquired Sterling Commerce, an EDI VAN heavyweight, according to Forrester Analyst Ken Vollmer, who wrote about this market change in early April. Sterling Commerce was the number two provider of EDI VAN and B2B managed services, he said. This year, the acquisitions continued with Liaison acquiring New Bridges.\nVollmer says these consolidations could lead to higher prices for customers in the long run. Right now, the economic climate is discouraging the higher prices, but you shouldn't expect that discouragement to continue.\nHe also cautioned that some clients may experience service issues as their provider transitions to the new organization, which means you'll need to be diligent about upholding service-level agreements. He also suggests that you investigate alternatives to your existing B2B integration provider before you negotiate a new contract in the coming year.\nClearly, the old-school EDI companies are embracing the new realities of cloud services. This could mean more features for B2B integration, but it could also mean a few rough waves ahead if these transitions take place. Regardless, if you use a B2B integration provider, you'd do well to watch this niche integration market and the slow-but-steady change happening now.",

DIonne, Jonathan Haidt, libertarians, neoconservatives, Patrick Allitt, three-dimensional conservatism, traditional conservatives\nE. J. Dionne, in Conservatives used to care about community. What happened?, comments on several divergent elements in conservative thought and practice. He begins by lamenting that conservative Republicans \u201chave abandoned American conservatism\u2019s most attractive features: prudence, caution and a sense that change should be gradual.\u201d This description of conservatism follows closely with what Patrick Allitt, in the course I\u2019ve written about earlier, refers to as traditional conservatism, in the mold of Russell Kirk and going back to Edmund Burke. Dionne further laments that conservatives no longer care about community, instead concentrating on \u2018the heroic and disconnected individual \u2014 or the \u201cjob creator.\u201d\u2018 This is more closely allied with the libertarian strand of conservatism.\nProfessor Allitt\u2019s course discussed various strands of conservative thought and practice; what stands out in American conservatism are three strands, traditional conservatism, libertarianism, and neoconservatism. While we tend to think of conservatism/liberalism on a continuum, this three-fold division of conservative thought can be more productively thought of as intersecting planes or areas, making it three-dimensional conservatism.\nI\u2019ve been reading Jonathan Haidt\u2019s new book, The Righteous Mind. He, too, imagines individuals in a single-dimension as being more or less conservative, more or less liberal. But he uses his six moral foundations to plot a graph of this movement from liberalism to conservatism, or conservatism to liberalism. Those six foundations are:\nMoral responses of liberals are heavily weighted toward the care, fairness, and liberty foundations, while conservatives respond with a more even mix of all six.\nWhen I saw the graph, I was struck by the sense that it was pigeon-holing individuals onto this single dimension, more or less conservative or liberal. But since the graph used the six moral foundations to plot this information, it seemed more meaningful to think of our moral/political belief system in many dimensions. It seems that each foundation is a line, or a plane, or even an area, which intersect and diverge from each other in various ways in a three-dimensional space, giving us three-dimensional conservatism, or liberalism, or moral foundations.\nWith E.J. Dionne we have an analysis of conservatism from the point of view of contemporary political commentary; with Patrick Allitt the same from the point of view of historical investigation and analysis; and with Jonathan Haidt, from the point of view of the moral bases of conservative/liberal thought. I hope I can, with continued investigation, come up with a better multi-dimensional model of conservative/liberal/political thought which can accommodate the nuances in all of these positions, but also their affinities with each other.",

It was the start of a 98-degree day, the three men were already sweating, the garbage smelled, and the truck was obnoxiously loud. I was offended by this assault on my tranquility and resented the garbage men who caused it. That evening I showed my class Poet of Poverty, a film about Camden, New Jersey, one of the most blighted cities in America. Camden is, literally, the garbage dump for the state. Because its people are powerless and poor, the legislature has put in its neighborhoods the state prison, the county\u2019s trash-to-steam incinerator and the sewage treatment plant. \u201cIt is,\u201d said Father Michael Doyle, who has served in Camden since 1968, \u201cas if all the toilet bowls in the county are lined up on Camden, and every flush says \u2013 to Camden, to Camden, to Camden.\u201d The stench, particularly on a hot summer day, is overwhelming, and Camden is an assault on America\u2019s image of itself.\nNeither the garbage men nor Camden create the stench we blame them for. Their role is to get it out of the noses of the rest of us, so we can continue in the belief that we take care of ourselves when we put our trash in black plastic bags and set them on the curb for removal from our neighborhood.\nJul 31 Three Lives\nJul 26 Public Rights and Private Parts",

The lovely lighting and high camera viewpoint emphasize the awesome, unrivaled colors and designs of the costumes and related apparel. The highly colorful designs are just awesome in their visual diversity and extended range of hues. Every color that one has ever seen is here, except for white, which is only barely visible if one looks hard enough for it. Apart from the wonderful diversity of colors and designs in the traditional clothing that these ladies are so proud to be wearing, there are two other important facets of this great print that I must mention. Firstly, although the marketplace is extremely crowded, there is a definite sense of order and intensity. All eyes in the foreground and center of this photograph are directly focused on the young lady who is intently holding a bolt of cloth from the display on the floor. One can almost sense the dialogue and price-bargaining that is going on between the lady and the vendor. In the background, the people are orderly milling around, intent on maximizing their own market opportunities to the fullest. Secondly, Jim has strikingly complemented the incredible patterns radiating throughout these lovely costumes and head coverings, with the visual patterns the people themselves make in this intense crowd scene.

        "raw_content": "Required class: Syrians wear gas masks in Aleppo while attending a class on how to respond to a chemical attack on Sept. 15. | AFP-JIJI\nSarin victims face 'slow death' as regime blocks aid\nMalnutrition, disease stalk survivors while Assad presses attack\nby Loveday Morris and Taylor Luck\nBEIRUT - A month after rockets carrying chemical payloads rained down on the suburbs of Damascus, doctors say hundreds are still suffering the ill effects of sarin poisoning. But the horror of the gas attack is being overtaken by continuing shelling and airstrikes, as well as by malnutrition and disease.\nIn more than a dozen Skype interviews, field-hospital doctors and activists in the area known as Ghouta described what they called a dire humanitarian situation, with residents struggling to survive under a continuing siege from government troops.\nMost victims of sarin attacks die within the first 24 hours, according to experts; the United States and its allies have said 1,429 Syrian civilians died in the Aug. 21 attack, which they blame on the Syrian government. A smattering of other sarin-related deaths followed, doctors say, mostly in the days immediately after the attack.\nBut scores of survivors suffering from side effects continue to require medical attention for persistent symptoms that include respiratory problems, nausea, weakness and blurred vision, the doctors say. Meanwhile, they say explosive shells are continuing to fall, leaving little room to evacuate the wounded and only limited medical equipment to treat them.\nAn estimated 300 survivors of the chemical attack are contending with side effects in the Eastern Ghouta towns of Ein Tarma and Zamalka, doctors said. An additional 150 are suffering from the effects in another town, Moadamiya, to the west of Damascus, that was also targeted on Aug. 21, doctors said, and oxygen supplies there are low.\nBut even before last month\u2019s attack, the worst chemical strike in decades, rebel-held areas of the Damascus suburbs were long targeted by government attacks. And now, the side effects from sarin are just one among a sea of concerns.\n\u201cThis siege is what we call a slow death,\u201d an activist who gave his name as Anas al-Dimashqi said of the chemical attack\u2019s side effects. For about 10 months, he said, government forces have maintained what amounts to a blockade by erecting checkpoints that prohibit food and supplies from entering the area.\nThe activist, who is based in the Eastern Ghouta town of Kafr Batna and volunteers in field hospitals, was using a pseudonym adopted to protect against retaliation by government forces.\nWith hospitals lacking even the most basic medical supplies, neighborhoods have become breeding grounds for communicable diseases, doctors and activists said. With food supplies scarce and proteins and fresh vegetables lacking, malnutrition, particularly among children, is increasingly common.\nMajed Abu Ali, a spokesman for the medical office in Eastern Ghouta, said there have been outbreaks of such diseases as brucellosis, scarlet fever and hepatitis. Child malnutrition is increasingly common, said the doctor, adding that about 100 children are treated for malnutrition and dehydration each month in the area\u2019s clinics, which are sorely lacking supplies.\nWith communicable diseases and infections rife, a visit to a field clinic can in itself be risky.\nA 52-year-old resident of the town of Irbin who uses the pseudonym Um Samer said she contracted a staph infection while receiving treatment for sarin poisoning at a field hospital on the outskirts of the village.\n\u201cEveryone uses the same toilet and drinks from the same cups; there is blood and urine on the ground,\u201d she said from a converted hospital that used to be a textile factory. \u201cWe came to be saved from chemical poisoning, and now we may die from pneumonia or infections.\u201d\nA field doctor in Moadamiya who for security reasons asked to be identified only by his first name, Majid, said that flour supplies had run out six months ago.\nHe provided photographs of two children who he said had died of starvation in recent weeks. Human Rights Watch, which examined the images, said they appeared consistent with death from malnutrition but that its investigations were unable to confirm the cause of death.\n\u201cThose who used to eat three meals a day now eat one,\u201d Majid said.\nAid organizations and the United Nations have unsuccessfully called on President Bashar Assad and the rebels to ensure humanitarian access to the areas. Syria has recently agreed to a plan by Russia and the U.S. that calls for the country to surrender its chemical weapons, but the doctors and activists said residents wait in fear of another attack.\nIn Eastern Ghouta, the doctors said they were trying to stock 14 emergency chemical-weapons treatment centers so that residents can be prepared if the horror of Aug. 21 is repeated.\n\u201cWe do not trust this regime,\u201d al-Dimashqi said.\nSyria, chemical weapons",

        "raw_content": "Building an inclusive society for the disabled\nby Noeleen Heyzer\nBANGKOK - The 2012 London Paralympics captivated the world\u2019s attention with the strength of the human spirit demonstrated by people with disabilities. We were all moved by the determination and perseverance of the athletes to overcome the odds that defeat so many of us.\nWhat we saw at the London Paralympics gives us reason to pause and reflect on the everyday struggles of people with disabilities. Here in the Asia-Pacific region, there are 650 million people with disabilities. They account for 15 percent of the population, but they are mostly unseen, unheard and uncounted.\nEvidence indicates that people with disabilities are among the most marginalized in society. The most common reasons are a lack of education and limited employment opportunities.\nHaving a person with a disability in a household increases the incidence of household and individual income poverty. Likewise, household poverty is more likely to limit disabled people\u2019s access to basic services, education and financial support.\nMany lack access to the physical environment, public transportation, knowledge, information and communication technologies (ICT), which are preconditions for exercising one\u2019s rights in an inclusive society. All these factors together result in a greater likelihood of economic and social exclusion.\nAnother compelling reason for us to pay closer attention to disability is that the population of the Asia-Pacific region is graying at an unprecedented rate.\nBy 2050, in much of East Asia, one in three people will be 60 or older; in parts of the Asia-Pacific, it will be one in four people. That means significantly more older people in society, with many of them likely to have some form of disability. Indeed, it is projected that, by 2050, 80 percent of the people with disabilities in some parts of Asia-Pacific will be age 60 and above.\nThat\u2019s why, more than a month ago, Asia-Pacific governments gathered at an ESCAP (U.N. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific) conference in Incheon, South Korea, to tackle the existing barriers that prevent the growing number of people with disabilities from participating in economic, social and political life.\nThe governments launched a new Asian and Pacific Decade of Persons with Disabilities for 2013 to 2022, and adopted a regional strategy to chart the course of the new decade by adopting the world\u2019s first set of regionally agreed disability-inclusive development goals. For the first time, the Asia-Pacific region will be able to track and measure progress in our efforts to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities.\nReferred to as the \u201cIncheon Strategy to Make the Right Real for Persons with Disabilities in Asia and the Pacific,\u201d the strategy contains specific time-bound goals and targets, among others, to reduce poverty among people with disabilities, improve their access to the physical and ICT environments as well as education and employment opportunities.\nThe Asia-Pacific region is adversely affected by disasters, and there is evidence that people with disabilities are two to four times more likely than the general population to die when disasters occur. Thus the governments also stressed the need to ensure that disaster-risk reduction and management incorporates perspectives from those with disabilities.\nTo measure progress in building disability-inclusive societies, it will be necessary for countries to improve their collection of statistics on people with diverse disabilities and their socio-economic status. This would provide evidence on which to base policymaking in support of realizing disabled people\u2019s rights.\nIt is time to think about how we can reshape where we live, where we work and where we play to enable all of us to enjoy the same freedom of movement and access to all aspects of life.\nOn the occasion of the 2012 International Day of Persons with Disabilities, let us each do our part to ensure that people with disabilities get counted to count.\nDr. Noeleen Heyzer is undersecretary general of the United Nations and executive secretary of ESCAP.",

        "title": "Responsibilities of a Web Designer - Joe Dolson Web Accessibility",
        "raw_content": "Home / Blog / Web Development / Responsibilities of a Web Designer\nWorking as a web designer/developer comes with a significant burden of responsibility. When you sign a contract to develop or update somebody\u2019s business-critical web presence, you\u2019re confronted with a situation where you have enormous potential to abuse or, through irresponsibility, damage that person\u2019s business.\nThis is something I think about on an almost daily basis, thinking to myself \u201cHave I taken the necessary precautions to make sure that THIS action doesn\u2019t break anything?\u201d\nIt\u2019s a responsibility that goes far deeper than the relatively superficial issues of whether your design breaks in an 800-pixel wide browser window.\nAlmost every site I work on, regardless of the specific situation, requires that I be provided with access to business-critical resources. Servers, passwords, usernames, databases, and business strategy information. Being responsible for the protection and control of this information is a critically important area. You need to be prepared to retrieve any piece of information at any time \u2014\nI\u2019ve been asked for information as obscure as details about the content of a web site two full versions before I started working on it. Now, this is a situation which probably goes a bit beyond the necessities \u2014 this wasn\u2019t data which had ever actually been available to me. Nonetheless, it points out the fact that client\u2019s do not always maintain copies of their own information. You should absolutely take care never to lose anything.\nDon\u2019t overwrite documents without archiving them.\nIf you replace a user account, record the information from the previous account.\nIf you change hosting situations, record the information from the previous hosting. (Yes, I have needed it.)\nIf you have access to a resource, record your access information in a secure manner.\nResponsibility for Business Performance\nEven if you haven\u2019t taken on a contract which expressly states that you are responsible for the continuing performance of the site, you should consider that to be a significant part of your responsibility. I\u2019ve said before that redesign is not about design \u2014 it\u2019s about improvement. Taking care that you aren\u2019t incidentally failing to account for the existing performances of a site is an important part of redevelopment work.\nIt\u2019s called not fucking up. It\u2019s a simple thing; but it\u2019s commonly missed.\nI don\u2019t call this search optimization, but it\u2019s certainly frequently associated with it:\nUsing appropriate 301 redirects to make sure traffic follows along to the new pages.\nUsing robots.txt to block access to private areas.\nMaking certain that important, popular content continues to exist and be accessible in the new site.\nAccommodating for search spiders, to ensure that the website will be at least as crawlable as it was before your development.\nManaging Financial Data and Email Accounts\nAs I manage dozens of websites, I am fully capable of accessing, rerouting, CC\u2019ing myself, or in general abusing the private information of hundreds of people. They don\u2019t always know that I can do this; they don\u2019t always realize just how much power there is in having the ability to manage email accounts.\nKnowing that you have all this information, it\u2019s critical to have detailed processes to describe how email is handled; what to do in case of a forgotten password or account information, and guaranteeing your client\u2019s privacy.\nInform a client if you need to check their email account. Don\u2019t do ANYTHING without permission.\nMaintain your own account on their server, if possible, to test server mail handling, record errors, and handle other critical business.\nMake sure that your client knows exactly what kind of control you have. Whether they understand it or not, they have the right to know. It IS their business.\nResponsibility to your Client\u2019s Customers\nOn rare occasions, I will make the choice to override my client\u2019s preferences. This is when their preference compromises the privacy or security of their own customers. This is not their choice; and any developer should know this critical piece of information: You can be held legally responsible for situations involving your development work. This includes privacy issues, copyright problems \u2014 anything where you had the ability to prevent the problem.\nI will fight for my preferences when it comes to accessibility issues, search marketing issues, design issues, or the usability of processes. However, when it comes right down to it, in these cases I\u2019ll accept the final decision of my client.\nSome things are not acceptable, however:\nSend credit card addresses unencrypted by email from an unsecured server.\nMaintain private user data in an unsecured location on their website.\nAdd users to a mailing list without allowing them the option to \u201copt out.\u201d\nThink about it. Would you give just anybody access to your own website?\n16 Comments to \u201cResponsibilities of a Web Designer\u201d\nIt depends somewhat on the documents; legal documents can be drawn up that are legally sound without being scary \u2014 or they can be written in dense legalese that can leave a potential customer nervous.\nEither way, you might want to be considering that a prospective client who\u2019s bothered by a liability release may not be a great client \u2014 inclined to point fingers if something goes wrong. But, that\u2019s certainly not an absolute.\nEll ; August 16, 2014 at 8:31 pm\nI\u2019ve been worried about the legal ramifications and debated having some legal documents drawn up to release me from liability (or limit it anyway), but I\u2019m afraid of scarring costumers. Has anyone gone down that road?\nI can say without doubt that you should have access toyour domain and hosting accounts. You should have the ability at any time to get in and change your information; including to the degree of blocking your designer out of the account. Your web site should be your own property, under your own control.\nHowever, from a legal standpoint, it\u2019s a bit muddier. The specific terms of your contract should specify your rights. Primarily, the rights to the design itself and any code or graphics created for that site are an issue: unless those rights were specifically transferred to your company or the web designer was an actual employee of your company, then the designer has a legal claim to those elements.\nSo, from a responsibility perspective, you should have all rights \u2014 from a legal perspective, it\u2019s not quite that clear.\nMy suggestion would be that you contact the designer and request access. If they either ignore your request for a significant amount of time or deny it outright, you should consult the specific terms of your contract with the designer and legal counsel to see what your recourse might be. That said, it may be that although they have not actually provided you with that access, they will have absolutely no problems providing it on request.\nPamela ; August 2, 2011 at 6:24 pm\nThank you for the insight. I found this entry via a web search for web designer\u2019s responsibilities. The company that I work for just finished a complete re-branding including a new website. We worked with a reputable website designer company and in the end are very satisfied with the results. My question is related to the responsibilities of the web designer and what rights we have to certain information. We have just noticed a bug in Google\u2019s search results, specifically the snippet referencing our old company\u2019s information listed under our new website. Our research revealed a fix via google, however, the designer claims to have no knowledge of this type of issue and wants to charge additional fees to research and remedy the problem. Secondly, the designer, as a part of the process, registered/purchased our domain (included in the fees we paid) and is hosting the site \u2013 the designer has not provided us with the details of either of these accounts. Although we have not asked yet, do we have rights to the information for both the domain and hosting accounts?\nAlan ; March 3, 2011 at 5:27 pm\nThanks for the input. Well at least he hasn\u2019t cashed the final check yet, but he asked for another $60 to make the site live. The contract says \u201cFTP (File Transfer Protocol) upload of site (live),\u201d but he said that he simply assumed that his clients would automatically use his hosting. So sick of dealing with weenies. I had few options after 2 days of failure to upload the site, so I told him to go ahead.\nJoe Dolson ; March 2, 2011 at 5:48 pm\nThat is *not* industry standard. To be fair, I\u2019m not sure there is a true \u2018industry standard,\u2019 but that\u2019s not it, if there is. Speaking for myself (and also for every web designer or developer I know,) launching the site is part of the process. The project isn\u2019t complete if the web site isn\u2019t launched. I don\u2019t even submit my final bill until after the web site is live.\nAlan ; March 2, 2011 at 6:51 am\nMy web desinger won\u2019t publish my website through a hosting company other than his. And I\u2019m having a hell of a time figuring it out. Is it industry standard to not offer help to make the site live?\nAndrew ; July 27, 2010 at 1:10 am\nThis has been a big help with an irritating assigment ive had, I was wondering if you could answer my question. How at all have interactive websites changed the work practices, procedures, and decision-making processes of individuals, organisations, and communities?\nIf you could that would be \u2018icing on the cake\u2019 so to speak\n@Jack That\u2019s going to depend somewhat on the specifics of the contract between the web designer and the client, but in general a web designer can be held equally liable for copyright infringement as the client. It is not explicitly the designer\u2019s responsibility to ensure that any materials provided to them are free of copyright infringement, but they should absolutely guarantee that any materials they use are either original or appropriate licenses have been obtained. And it is wise, in some cases, to double check the licensing of provided media.\nJack ; July 20, 2010 at 3:41 am\nI have read through this and this is great information, but what would their responsabilities be towards the use of various forms of media? such as copywrite laws and so forth.\nThanks for the rest of this great information\nThank you for the information in your article. People who are just starting out in the web designing field are going to find this helpful. Most website-making companies actually don\u2019t implement all of the precautions and things that you should do, they\u2019re just focused with the money that you\u2019re giving out to them. companies or designers like those will need to take more effort out of them for them to rise up and become a good web design company.\nmerlia ; November 16, 2007 at 3:56 am\nBeing as a web designer, always be confident that you could probably do anything that is out there. When you have your first meeting with your client, give a lot of suggestions and be honest about how you feel on certain things. Make sure that your client gets an impression that you know the stuff. Also important there should be a proper planning always to finish up your work quick and easy\u2026.\nI am constantly amazed by the web design communities approach to their customers. Many seem to only care about getting the project completed, making money, and moving on. So few take a partnership approach. They just do not seem to care if the service actually benefits the customer.\nIt\u2019s so true\u2026it\u2019s really pretty remarkable \u2014 you\u2019re right, it\u2019s both site owners and designers who frequently fall into that trap. The \u201cquick and easy\u201d is almost always worth the time and effort you put into it. (If you know I mean\u2026)\nBoris ; November 3, 2007 at 2:45 pm\nI am an SEO guy. I am constantly amazed by the web design communities approach to their customers. Many seem to only care about getting the project completed, making money, and moving on. So few take a partnership approach. They just do not seem to care if the service actually benefits the customer.\nWhen I work with a website I take their success very seriously. I start with an initial consultation that covers the good , the bad, and the ugly. My approach is this: If I SEO a site, an bring increased traffic, the site should be ready for those new visitors. So I take the time to point out usability and design issue that go way beyond SEO. Many times it\u2019s as simple as including a call to action at the bottom of the page.\nI feel that if the site is inferior and not ready for prime time then why bother with SEO.\nI charge a reasonable fee for this consultation. I often end up not working with these sites, because the owners are looking for an easy fix and are not willing to do things the right way. At least they walk away with a clear plan that is designed to bring in traffic that may actually have a chance at turning those visitors into customers.\nI wish more people in the design an SEO industry would be more ethical. I want my customers to have the best possible chance to succeed. If they succeed then I will because they will tell others.\nIt just blows me away how so few seem to take this approach.\nJoe Dolson ; November 1, 2007 at 10:14 am\nBorrowing \u201cbits\u201d will usually keep you safe. Fair use does apply \u2014 small portions of a larger work are something where you\u2019re likely to be OK. Still, you\u2019ve got to be careful\u2026\nAnd clients sometimes just don\u2019t KNOW where their media elements came from!\nThe biggest security risk is somebody with all the access and none of the understanding of the risks; that\u2019s definitely where this \u201ceducation\u201d thing really needs to come into play!\nMike Cherim ; November 1, 2007 at 12:50 am\nGood post Joe. I, too, think about these things. Security is a biggie for me. I try my best to keep their stuff secure. When I set up a blog, for example, I activate a back-up plugin, harden it two ways immediately because it needs it, and then I teach them how to use it recommending they do so after every post. Ditto with email security, and any other possible content printed or collected data.\nRegarding site WWW performance, I give them the tools and teach them how to use them, and then I also make sure to inform them that success doesn\u2019t happen like magic and that they must promote their site, and provide quality, on-going content. That\u2019s a big reason why I like delivering WordPress\u2026 it helps me make what they need to do possible and simple.\nI do take responsibility for all else. Redirects, error pages, accessibility, robots\u2026 they get it all. I\u2019m not a corner cutter. I would never touch their data or visitor data. Once they site is theirs it\u2019s in their hands and I am gone; unless I am hosting, maintaining, or both, then I go to great lengths to ensure they are safe and sound on an on-going basis, and that everyone\u2019s privacy is always protected.\nIt\u2019s good to know about the legal side. It\u2019s not something I have to worry about, though it makes me think I should insist clients buy/supply imagery used in backgrounds and site decorations. I make a lot, but I do borrow bits at times, only bits mind you, but I\u2019d rather not have to do that at all.",

Ivkovich is scheduled for trial Tuesday on aggravated vehicular homicide charges.\nIvkovich, 37, was indicted in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on two counts related to the April 30, 2015 death of his 48-year-old passenger, Sharon Crawford. Ivkovich pleaded not guilty. He faces a maximum of eight years in prison.\nCrawford, from Kettering, was also known as Sharon Shockey. The Montgomery County Coroner\u2019s Office ruled that Crawford died of multiple blunt force injuries.\nDayton police said Ivkovich\u2019s 2008 Honda Accord was west-bound when it struck a concrete pillar of a train overpass on East Third Street near Webster Street. At the time, Dayton police said alcohol possibly was a factor.\n\u201cIt is especially distressing when a driver decides to drink and then drive and kills someone in the process,\u201d Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. said of Ivkovich\u2019s indictment. \u201cThis woman\u2019s death was completely preventable, if the defendant had simply called a cab.\u201d\nUniversity of Dayton officials said Ivkovich resigned later in 2015. A statement from the school at the time said: \u201cIt\u2019s a tragedy and our thoughts and prayers are with those involved and their families.\nCourt records indicate Judge Timothy O\u2019Connell partly ruled in favor of Ivkovich regarding a motion for suppression. O\u2019Connell agreed that the defendant should have had a reasonable expectation of privacy for his blood and urine tests that were taken by Miami Valley Hospital personnel for medical purposes.\nDayton police detectives had requested the results, but Ivkovich\u2019s attorneys argued that information didn\u2019t come via a search warrant.\nO\u2019Connell also ruled that information received from a search warrant could be admitted.\nCrawford was the mother of four and a 1984 graduate of Kettering Fairmont High School, according to an online obituary.\nIvkovich began working for UD in 2011. An online biography states Ivkovich worked at Marshall University, Central Michigan University, New Mexico State University and the University of Cincinnati.\n\u201cMy objective, first and foremost, is to keep the athletes healthy and limit the potential for injury on the court,\u201d Ivkovich is quoted on a UD website page. \u201cSecondly, I will provide a program that values consistency, progression, attention to detail, accountability and an overall commitment from each and every one of our athletes to the player development process.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Feb 10, 2019 08:21 \u00b7 1455 words \u00b7 7 minute read\nOr, how much data is too much data?\nNon-mined email\nTo reduce the profiles that the big data companies can maintain about me, I am using:\nIn 2018, I chose to sign up for a VPN, especially for the fairly numerous times that I\u2019m using random wifi networks. As Michael Grothaus points out in Fast Company, internet service providers have been given more leeway to sell your online history, which is obnoxious.\nA great many sites have moved to HTTPS, which does help. ISPs and snoopers will have less ability to see what you\u2019re doing. ISPs can still draw insights, however, from the IP addresses you\u2019re sending traffic to and, unless you use a third party DNS server, the domain names you look up. In fact, it occurs to me now that ISPs can likely inspect DNS packets, so they know the names you\u2019re looking up even when you\u2019re not using their DNS servers! Sheesh.\nAnd then you\u2019ve got the info vacuums of companies like Facebook and Google. I\u2019m not a heavy user of Facebook, but I\u2019ve been using gmail since shortly after it launched in 2004. Someone on Twitter recently pointed out Google\u2019s Purchases page. Yep, Google has parsed every receipt I\u2019ve gotten and put it into a purchase history.\nUnlike Facebook, which had numerous privacy snafus in 2018, I trust Google\u2019s security practices and that they don\u2019t randomly share data with other companies (though they certainly use it to target ads!). The problem is that they\u2019re a public company and need to maximize value for their shareholders. Their founders won\u2019t always be at the helm. Can I trust the unknown, future Google with all of that data?\nThere\u2019s been a lot of blowback in the press (see this article from the EFF for examples) from Facebook\u2019s privacy missteps, but it hasn\u2019t seemed to have much measurable impact on Facebook\u2019s usage. That could embolden Google and others to eventually take steps that are less respecting of people\u2019s privacy.\nI think it\u2019s worth repeating: I think Google of today is a far better steward of data then Facebook. Apple, today, is an even better steward of personal data, because their business model is built around selling products rather than data. They go out of their way to avoid collecting it if they can, going so far as to encrypt your photos and do machine learning on your devices so that they have no access whatsoever to your photos in iCloud. Their machine learning is trained using techniques that make it impossible to link the training data with the original creator of it.\nGoogle, Facebook, and other advertising networks follow your movements around the web. Those little Facebook Like buttons and the behind-the-scenes Google Analytics allow those services to build up profiles of all of your browsing habits. Google, of course, also has the millions of Chrome users as well.\nMany non-technical folks aren\u2019t aware of the kind of detailed profiles these companies build up about us. Profiles that are both detailed and, potentially, full of erroneous assumptions based on data they\u2019ve collected but misinterpreted. Some people use the \u201cI have nothing to hide\u201d argument, to which Wikipedia has a nice collection of responses.\nEverything I\u2019ve said to this point has been about private companies. I live in the United States of America and the founders of the US did not trust the people in government to \u201cdo the right thing\u201d, so they created the Bill of Rights to protect the citizens from an overreaching government. As the internet has grown, the government has been going beyond what I think is good policy, so caring about your privacy also goes along with protecting your rights as a citizen.\nI think we all have a line we draw after which we say \u201cthis is too much\u201d, and seeing the Google purchase history marks the point at which I\u2019ve reached mine.\nAfter looking at various reviews and the features offered, I opted for ExpressVPN (this is not an affiliate link, I get nothing if you click through there). They offered the device support and speed that I wanted. Had I thought about it earlier, I would have written down my decision criteria here.\nDuck Duck Go is the premier search engine that doesn\u2019t track you.\nThough I\u2019ve been using gmail for a very long time, my primary email addresses have always been at domains that I own. This will make it easier for me to transition to another service.\nWhen I searched for email services which protect privacy, I got a lot of results which were focused on providing the ability to securely send end-to-end encrypted messages. They had a wide variety of features and tradeoffs, all working around inherent limitations of email protocols.\nAs of this writing, I chose Fastmail as my solution. My requirements are:\nGood privacy\nCustom domain support with aliases\nAbility to set up at least two accounts\nClients for the devices I use\nGoogle\u2019s spam protection is really good\nI also have the following non-requirements:\nAbility to send PGP or otherwise end-to-end encrypted messages to other people\nI ended up with Fastmail and after a day with it, I am very happy with the choice. It\u2019s still importing my huge gmail backlog, but it does indeed work \u201cfast\u201d, and their support for multiple domains is really easy to use.\nSomeone asked about a somewhat similar set of requirements on Reddit.\nOne possibility is iCloud. I\u2019m already paying Apple for additional storage, and iCloud mail works with any mail app I\u2019d want to use. As I noted earlier, Apple does not make money by mining your data. That said, in order to support normal IMAP features like search, your email data is not encrypted on their servers in a way in which even Apple employees cannot access it. There\u2019s the possibility that future Apple could decide to monetize data, which would be a real shame. The biggest problem I have with iCloud, though, is that iCloud doesn\u2019t support custom domains.\nRestore Privacy has a good roundup from November 2018: Best Secure Email Providers.\nTutanota is intriguing because of how deep their security is. They do support custom domains, their pricing is reasonable. But in order to provide that great security, they had to go with non-standard apps for all access and those apps don\u2019t provide the usability of more standards-based apps. There is often a tradeoff between security and convenience, and I think this tradeoff goes too far for me, though I have not yet decided for sure.\nTutanota brings up an interesting point: their approach is super secure. If I go with someone else, people at that company would be able to read my messages. Why would I trust those companies if I\u2019m not going to trust Google? The reason is simple: these little companies are building their businesses specifically on privacy. Facebook can get away with privacy issues because of their market position. These companies cannot.\nAndy Schwartzmeyer described how he got Posteo to work with a custom domain, taking advantage of forwarding from Gandi and Mailroute for spam filtering. I wonder if the approach he takes for custom domains in Posteo would work for iCloud?\nA lot of people seem to like Fastmail. For $50/year/account, they support aliases and custom domains. They\u2019ve been around for a long time and provide a service that people appreciate. They do provide their own spam filtering. In many ways, Fastmail does sound like what I\u2019m looking for.\nAnother option I have: I have used Dreamhost for years to handle hosting for some of my websites, my domain registration/DNS, and email forwarding. I could switch to using Dreamhost for my email hosting as well. They support standard protocols. They allow for aliases and multiple email accounts. My hosting plan includes \u201cunlimited\u201d storage. It\u2019s really quite a good deal. The only problem is that Dreamhost is primarily focused on web hosting and they provide a lot of services to a lot of people for a low price. My concern is that the service would be less reliable than others.\nGenerally, I\u2019ve found Dreamhost\u2019s support to be quite good and the service to be overall pretty reliable. Reviews are not always positive, which is often the case because there\u2019s a selection bias around reviews. But I do worry about the multiple times I\u2019ve seen people talk about \u201closing email\u201d. I also just remembered a time when Dreamhost started bouncing email to my primary email address, making sites with that address start failing. That took a bit of effort to clean up, and one site hasn\u2019t sent me email since.",

        "raw_content": "Who Do I Call for a Door Repair?\nIf there\u2019s one part of our homes we rarely worry about, it\u2019s our doors. Most of the time, they do their job just fine and we take them for granted. But what happens when something goes wrong and you need a door repair? Do you call a carpenter? How about a handyman or a general contractor? Or do you just try to fix it yourself? The correct answer is to always call a locksmith! Repairing a door is more than just fixing or strengthening the structural integrity of wood or another material. The purpose of a door is to secure your home from unwanted guests, and the way that is accomplished is through the use of latches and locks. This means that when you need door repair services, a locksmith should be your first call to ensure the door is secure and all locks and latches are still working right.\nThe Many Hats of a Locksmith\nLocksmiths can do so much more than change your locks and make you spare keys. They can handle anything and everything related to home security as well, which is why locksmiths are the best option for all kinds of door problems. After a burglary, for example, a locksmith can not only change your locks out for you, but they can also replace your entire door if there was damage from trying to force it open. Maybe they can even offer an upgrade to a stronger door so a second burglary will not be as easy. Door replacement is not easy and should be done by someone who is trained to handle such tasks. Locksmiths are there to do it all.\nLocksmiths are not just limited to standard home doors as well. The can repair or replace office doors, exterior building doors, and even interior specialty designed doors. Door repair is not limited to one type of door or one type of lock on that door. Locksmiths know that there are a multitude of options available and they are well equipped to handle them all.\nNot Going to Break the Bank\nAnother reason to call a locksmith for your door troubles is because their prices are not going to be through the roof like some carpenters or contractors might be. A contractor will come out and assess the damage and take longer to get the job done because they are more of a \u201cJack of All Trades\u201d rather than a specialist. Time becomes money spent and for a job that might not be done as well as it can be. Locksmith prices are fair, and because door repair is a regular task for them they usually have a set price range for it, so you know exactly what you are getting and how long the job will take. This makes it easy for you to plan when the job will happen and what you should expect from the locksmith in return. Repairing doors is something that should be done with care and attention to detail which you will not find more of in anyone than a locksmith. No matter what the problem is, a locksmith will be there to help you every step of the way so you and your home are safe and secure again.",

        "raw_content": "Kickstarter Before Kickstarter\nJustin Kazmark\nIn 1713, Alexander Pope set out to translate 15,693 lines of ancient Greek poetry into English. It took five long years to get the six volumes right, but the result was worth the wait: a translation of Homer\u2019s Iliad that endures to this day. How did Pope go about getting this project off the ground? Turns out he kind of Kickstarted it.\nA year later, Pope crafted his pitch:\n\u201cThis Work shall be printed in six Volumes in Quarto, on the finest Paper, and on a letter new Cast on purpose; with Ornaments and initial Letters engraven on Copper,\u201d he wrote.\nIn exchange for a shout-out in the acknowledgements, an early edition of the book, and the delight of helping to bring a new creative work into the world, 750 subscribers pledged two gold guineas to support Pope\u2019s effort before he put pen to paper. They were listed in an early edition of the book:\nMonarchs and the Medici get a lot of credit for their role as patrons and rightfully so. Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel on commission from Pope Julius II. Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s \"The Last Supper\" was backed by the Duke of Milan. Galileo named Jupiter\u2019s moons the \u201cMedicean stars\u201d for his benefactors. But Alexander Pope invited a broader audience to be a part of creating his work.\nIn 1783, Mozart took a similar path. He wanted to perform three recently composed piano concertos in a Viennese concert hall, and he published an invitation to prospective backers offering manuscripts to those who pledged:\n\u201cThese three concertos, which can be performed with full orchestra including wind instruments, or only a quattro, that is with 2 violins, 1 viola and violoncello, will be available at the beginning of April to those who have subscribed for them (beautifully copied, and supervised by the composer himself).\u201d\nAlas, not all projects reach their funding goals, and Mozart fell short. A year later he tried again, and 176 backers pledged enough to bring his concertos to life. He thanked them in the concertos' manuscript:\nIn 1885, arguably the most ambitious project of all to find funding this way began. France was at work on a statue of the Roman goddess of freedom to give to the United States to celebrate its centennial. But the Statue of Liberty had no pedestal on which to stand in New York Harbor. Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of The New York World, launched a project for the construction of one.\nThe Statue of Liberty Club\nPulitzer published the project in his newspaper and offered rewards to supporters. For $1 a backer would get a six-inch statuette of Lady Liberty. More than 120,000 people from around the world pledged $102,006 to the project.\nFor centuries, artists and patrons experimented with the model that Kickstarter champions today. The biggest difference between then and now? The web makes the model exponentially more dynamic and accessible to all. Sometimes what seems new is actually very old.\nWe didn\u2019t know about these examples when we started Kickstarter, but it was reassuring to discover them. Not only that the likes of Mozart used this model, but that we've always wanted to help each other bring creative works to life. That's what we strongly believed when we launched Kickstarter, and that's what's happening today.\nAlex Najdek on July 18, 2013\nThis is so cool. I had no idea that crowdfunding had a history. It's kind of heartwarming.\nDan Balkwill on July 18, 2013\nWhat an awesome 'reward'... Miniature Statue Of Liberty! I wonder how many of these still exist?\nJonas Navickas on July 18, 2013\nHere's to history repeating itself!\nKevin Clark on July 18, 2013\nPulitzer also published letters from backers in his newspaper. They were ADORABLE.\nPiers Duruz | CrowdfundingDojo.com on July 18, 2013\nGood ideas tend to repeat themselves. :)\nClearly crowdfunding has always eben with us, but it's basically been Kickstarter taking it to the internet that has really made it blow up.\nThere's still a lot of growth ahead, both in reaching new people, but also in helping people to understand how to do crowfunding right. Genuinely. Reaching the people who want to hear about what they're doing and in a way that is effective and non spammy.\nCurrently, there are still too many people thinking that it's just \"put up a page and watch the dollars come rolling in.\" In fact, just today I talked to someone with a current Kickstarter convinced that Kickstarter is a scam, because their unpromoted project with a terrible video only netted them $500 funding (out of about 7k).\nIf crowdfunding has been around this long, you'd think people would have gotten the hang of it by now! It will be fascinating to see where it goes in the next 10 years, especially when you realize Kickstarter has only been around for a few years, and look at what hasm already been accomplished...\nJana on July 20, 2013\nThese are great examples of crowdfunding! I wonder if there are even more...\nLuis Rodriguez on July 20, 2013\nIt is a great Concept. In more recent times, that is how PBS essentially works.\nJohnny5000 on July 27, 2013\nFor mor examples you could also google \"Assurance Contract\" (this is what a Kickstarter Pledge Drive essentially is, in legal speak.)\nPhil Simon on July 29, 2013\nDon't forget Marillion here.\nhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdfunded\nMatt Otto on August 20, 2013\nThat is all very cool, makes me think I could do a KS\u2026but that sounds very scary, maybe you could give us tops on dos and don\u2019ts of KS campaigns?\nTara Mackey on September 5, 2013\nThis is absolutely amazing. I brought up a few of these people - and a few others - Edison, Ford & Franklin, during my early days speaking with people before launch! I'm hoping articles like this continue to shed some light onto what we're doing, and how long it's been around for! Thanks KS! xo\nJ.J. Fecik on August 11, 2014\nThank you Kickstarter! I know it has been said so many times already but it is just AMAZING all that is happening here & it is so cool to see it has a history!\nStanley N Lozowski on August 11, 2014\nI never realized this, but during the Centennial years of the US Civil War (1961-1965), the group responsible for restoring and rebuilding the White House of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia did it with Kickstarter type project. As a student of early American architecture (the groups goal was to turn the White House of the Confederacy building into a museum), I donated $100/month for a year towards the project...\nDale Taylor on August 11, 2014\nYou left out Johnathan Swift's 1728 campaign to raise money for a potato salad recipe.\nBenedict Jones on August 11, 2014\nNO....WAYY!!! Ultra-cool story...and even cooler is that my Dad's fabled stories of my great Grandfather getting one of these statues is actually true lol I had never known the origin of them. It's being conserved by a museum now!! Can't wait to actually see it :)\nDeborah Landry on August 11, 2014\nIt would be cool if we could find a original model of the statue. Anyone out there see it.\nSteven Yeung on August 13, 2014\nThe history of crowdfunding, great post. So my shipment of mt plegde was just delayed for another months is nothing compared to Iliad.\nMorty Mcfly on January 29, 2015\nMost amazing thing in this thread is that a lot of people genuinely believe Kickstarter invented the quid pro quo princple. That's adorable.",

Not exactly seasonably appropriate.\nThink about it: there are a zillion Christmas carols and a handful of Hanukkah ones, but how many songs are there about the two-week break from school? I think it's something worth singing about. Maybe I can write it myself. Sindy could help, because she's a pretty good guitar player (whereas my only skills are at Guitar Hero and I don't think that counts).\nOther than pondering deep philosophical questions like the one above, I've just been snowboarding a little and hanging out at Ben's place. Oh, and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping yet. I'm always a last minute shopper, which isn't really fun, but beats dragging out Christmas shopping for weeks on end. I'm just going to decide beforehand what to buy everyone and then get it all in one go.\nI still haven't decided whether to buy anything for Emily.

Now, thankfully, Susskind and his former student Art Friedman are back, this time to introduce readers to special relativity and classical field theory. At last, waves, forces and particles will be demystified. Using their typical brand of relatively simple maths, enlightening sketches and the same fictional counterparts, Art and Lenny, Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory takes us on an enlightening journey through a world now governed by the laws of special relativity. Starting in their new watering hole, Hermann's Hideaway, with a lesson on relativity, Art and Lenny walk us through the complexities of Einstein's famous theory. Combining rigor with humour, Susskind and Friedman guarantee that Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory will become part of the reader's physics toolbox.\nAutor: Susskind Leonard",

The Thomas Fire northwest of Los Angeles is California's largest wildfire on record, burning more than 281,000 acres as of Jan. 3, 2018. It is 92 percent contained. (Frederic J. Brown/AFP/Getty Images)\nVENTURA -- President Trump on Tuesday declared a major disaster in California over a wildfire that destroyed more than 1,000 buildings as fierce winds whipped it through Ventura and Santa Barbara counties last month.\nThe declaration makes federal funding available to state and local governments and some nonprofit organizations for emergency work in those counties and statewide for work to reduce hazards related to the fire, according to a White House statement.\nThe Thomas Fire that began on Dec. 4 is the largest recorded in the state. It was 92 percent contained on Tuesday. Firefighters were still putting out hot spots and smoldering areas.\nThe fire covered more than 281,000 acres (440 square miles), killed two people, destroyed entire neighborhoods, threatened coastal foothill communities, ravaged wilderness areas and cast a pall of smoke that shuttered businesses in downtown Santa Barbara.\nFirefighting costs alone have approached $200 million.\nThe disaster declaration means the federal government may cover 75 percent of those costs and the costs of recovering from the blaze, such as removing vast amounts of debris in fire-denuded areas that could be hit with flash floods and debris flows if winter rains arrive.\nAfter a flight over the devastated area on Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen said the president's declaration will help with rebuilding from the fire, which burned more than 700 homes, along with other buildings.\n\"Seeing the devastation, I'm deeply moved,\" she said. \"My heart goes out to the survivors. We met with some of them today.\"\nOn Wednesday, she was expected to visit Santa Rosa in Sonoma County. Wildfires in October swept through Sonoma, Napa and other counties in and around wine country, killing 44 people and destroying more than 5,000 homes. Insured damages alone topped $9 billion.\nTrump already approved a major disaster declaration for California for that wildfire.\nGov. Jerry Brown requested the same declaration last month for San Diego, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties as devastating fires swept the state.\n\"It is expected many of the survivors in the impacted communities will have no insurance coverage or be underinsured,\" Brown's request said. \"Even for those survivors who have insurance coverage, major challenges remain to obtain temporary housing and attempt to rebuild their lives.\"\nAlthough Tuesday's declaration covers only Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, \"damage assessments are continuing in other areas, and more counties and additional forms of assistance may be designated after the assessments are fully completed,\" the White House statement said.",

Violating a no-contact order may result in additional criminal charges. It will cause even more trouble when it comes to your case, so you must be sure to obey any no-contact or restraining orders you receive.\nThe 20-week batterer's program and no-contact order are common penalties for first offenses. In most cases, a first offense does not warrant any time in jail. However, with a second offense, you face a minimum of 10 days in jail and a maximum of up to one year in a prison. The 20-week batterer's program is also required, as well as the no-contact order. For a third offense, you can receive a minimum of one to 10 years in prison, as well as the aforementioned penalties. No matter how many offenses you've had, you will likely receive a fine of $125.00.\nAs mentioned, the severity of your penalties will depend on the details surround your case and whether or not it's your first offense. If you'd like to get more information about the potential outcome you face, we will discuss what you can expect during a free consultation. From there, we will outline a plan to help minimize the charges you're facing so they have a lesser effect on your life.\nIt's unfortunate, but in some situations people are wrongfully accused of domestic violence by a spouse or significant other.

        "raw_content": "I remember the first time I saw you. Gate 4, Karol Bagh metro station. New Delhi, India. I was nervous, maybe it wasn\u2019t safe to stand myself here? I was after all the first white person I know to attempt Delhi metro alone. But I stayed cool. This was one of my dreams coming true.\nA few months back, you started following me on Instagram and sending me silly message. You were cute, I liked it. I was going to India in a few months, and you were clearly quite Indian, and my knowing that surprised you. We kept chatting but I never believed anything would come from it.\nI kept seeing your face on Instagram, and my trip to India was getting close. I wanted so badly to ask you to take my pictures at Red Fort. But I was afraid to ask. What would your dad and brothers think? I get that. So I let it be and moved on. But you had other plans. You said we should meet up. It was a surprise. I wasn\u2019t free for two weeks, but of course we could. I\u2019ve never let something good go and had it come right back. How special.\nTwo weeks came so quick. You kept trying to ask me if I forgot about you. How could I have? Of course not. It was the part of India I was most excited about, meeting you. We made it work. 8am, Karol Bagh. September 26. You managed to convince your boss to let you come to work late the day before you tried to get off work for Birthday. That meant so much.\nYou looked so different than everybody else walking around. Your hair was quite curly. And you smiled so big. I liked hearing your voice for the first time, I bet mine sounded totally different than you expected it to. But that was all fine. We got on the train, and you pulled out your camera and started showing me all of your pictures. I loved how proud you were of your work. That\u2019s so different than everybody I know, beating themselves up over the most mundane details. So positive! Time passes, another train. It was packed. Of course it was. And I was the only white person around. It happens.\nEverybody on the packed train is staring at me. I\u2019m used to it. Whatever. But you were different, you were looking up at me with the biggest smile on your face. It was beautiful. How could I forget? We talked about\u2026 Well I can\u2019t remember. I asked about your dream to go to Paris. I hope it comes true. A few more minutes, off the train we go towards the gate. It was quieter there. You told me so much about yourself. We were the same age, we enjoyed the same things, we work somewhat similar jobs. But different sides of the world. I think I was really starting to fall for your smile about then.\nAll these people walking, biking past had the most interesting glare. This guy with yellow hair! And\u2026 a Delhi girl? I imagined they were not thrilled. So I started right back. It felt like the movies for a few quiet moments. I held my camera a little tighter. It has this knob on the bottom that I could use to hit back if things go south quickly. You have to remember, I expected some man to be angry and try to start something with me. I was ready. That\u2019s what I signed up for.\nWe took lots of pictures. Some of the gate, some of each other, some of us. I looked back at my pictures, all out of line, misexposed. I was actually nervous. That\u2019s so rare for me. There are a few of you that turned out. And one of the gate. Precious memories.\nYou showed me the government place a little. More pictures. Standing in the middle of the road! The cars always drive so close there. Somehow, I convinced you to get coffee. Maybe you convinced me, too. Off we go the same way towards the train. You smile at me again. It was precious. You show me pictures of all your family. We had some similar family experiences. It was the weirdest thing to connect over. Off the train again, off to the coffee store. We wander around a few minutes and finally find a place. Nobody was there. We talked about Instagram. I took your picture again. It was my favorite. You stalked my Facebook. It was funny.\nWe both had something with ice-cream and coffee. It was good! I couldn\u2019t afford it all, you didn\u2019t seem to mind. When we were sitting there, you looked at me and asked \u201cDo you have a good life?\u201d To this day, I\u2019m not sure what you meant, but this question lingered on my mind for days. Yes, I replied, but what I didn\u2019t say was that it was moments like ours that made my life such a blessing to start. On our way out, you just looked at me and said \u201cI like your golden hair\u201d. I told you I liked your curly hair. It was probably awkward, but that\u2019s okay. You asked me if I had a girlfriend, and seemed shocked I said no. I regret not asking you if you had a boyfriend. I know you didn\u2019t, but I wish you knew I liked you at this point. We cross some streets and you saved me once from getting hit. Typical Delhi. We finally have to say goodbye, you tell me I\u2019m a good guy, I tell you to keep in touch.\nI walk away wishing that, one day, I will see you again.\nI wrote this in September 2016. I decided I\u2019d post it if Heer and I didn\u2019t keep in touch. We got married in December 2018.",

        "raw_content": "Reading Buddies: La Jolla Library program helps kids avoid \u2018the summer slide\u2019\nDylan Casella (left) reads with his buddy, Preston Dinofia\nDylan Casella (left) reads with his buddy, Preston Dinofia (Ashley Mackin-Solomon)\nAlthough La Jolla\u2019s beaches may be the perfect place to lay out with a good book this summer, the La Jolla Library has a new program for young readers that makes it worthwhile to stay inside.\nThe library launched a Reading Buddies program June 18, which will continue 4 p.m. Mondays through July 30 at 7555 Draper Ave. Through the free program, teen volunteers read aloud with younger children to foster confidence in literacy and to encourage summer reading. Participation is first-come, first served and no registration is required.\n\u201cResearch shows that school-age children can lose several months\u2019 worth of reading skills if they don\u2019t read over summer break,\u201d explained Angie Stava, youth services librarian. \u201cThis phenomenon even has a name \u2014 the summer slide. Reading Buddies is a strategy to encourage children to exercise their reading skills during the summer and have fun at the same time. These children are learning to read, are having trouble reading, or just want to read with a teen and aren\u2019t reading on their own yet.\u201d\nShe added: \u201cReading aloud with someone inherently encourages dialogue about what a child is reading and can lead to discussions about how the book relates to the child, their life experiences, likes and dislikes, and how they think about their world. It\u2019s also a meaningful way for children to connect with teen role models who want to make a difference.\u201d\nEmma Myer at the table stacked with books available for buddy reading.\nEmma Myer at the table stacked with books available for buddy reading. (Ashley Mackin-Solomon)\nLibraries across the country have similar programs, and some schools do, too. In the La Jolla program, hand-selected books for all ages are available on a table in the youth area and library staff is on hand to pair up volunteers and children, and also help them find a great book.\nThe La Jolla pool of teen volunteers adds extra oomph to the program.\nFor example, 16-year-old La Jolla High student Abby Martin, has a voice made for reading. She was the voice of antagonist plant Audrey II in last year\u2019s school production of \u201cLittle Shop of Horrors,\u201d and has an expressive, animated personality to boot.\n\u201cI\u2019ll try to tone it down, but I\u2019ll hopefully bring something fun to this program,\u201d she said, laughing. \u201cI loved reading as a child and still do, and I like reading out loud. Plus, I come to this library a lot. I want to help the library and also share my love of reading with others.\u201d\nSimilarly, incoming La Jolla High freshman Alex Dinofia, 14, said she hopes to foster a year-round appreciation of reading in children.\n\u201cI hope the participants learn that reading isn\u2019t always a chore, and that if you find something you like, it can be really fun to read, instead of reading just for school,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m not a crazy reader, but I almost always have a book with me. I normally read mystery or dystopian books, like the \u2018Hunger Games.\u2019 \u201d\nWith her little brother on hand (to read with a different buddy), Alex said she also likes to volunteer in efforts that involve children.\nAlso drawn in because it\u2019s a chance to volunteer, Bishop\u2019s School student and National Charity League member Elizabeth Stuart-Chaffoo, 16, said this program is \u201cclose to my home and close to my heart\u201d because she lives in The Village and reads to her siblings.\nShe explained: \u201cTwo (of my siblings) just finished kindergarten and one is going into preschool, so they are transitioning from not knowing how to read at all, to working on pictures, and then early chapter books. I couldn\u2019t wait to sign up for this program. Literacy is really important. It\u2019s not something you might use later on in life, it\u2019s a skill you will use later in life.\u201d\n\u2014 Reading Buddies continues 4 p.m. Mondays through July 30 at La Jolla Library, 7555 Draper Ave. Free.

Rather than putting the focus on teaching children how to tell time, start by helping them understand the notion of time. For example, help your child get a feel for how long a minute or an hour is. You can do this in a number of fun ways. Try setting a timer for a minute and ask your child to tell you when a minute is over. Or set the timer for an hour and tell your child that when it goes off it is time to eat dinner. Making a list of your child\u2019s favorite activities and talking about how long each of them takes is another great way to help your child understand the notion of time.

        "raw_content": "Home events 4 Reasons why Lea Remains a Star 40 Years Later\nTo become a star, a person needs to have a lot of luck, skills, discipline, and the right timing. To remain a star, a person needs to have passion, a strong support system, humility, and heart. There are very few people in this world who has all of these. Lea Salonga is one of them.\nFour decades of conquering the music scene, two nights of stellar performances and\none Broadway legend. This coming October 19 and 20, a magical repertoire of songs will\nonce again fill PICC\u2019s Plenary Hall with \u2018Lea Salonga \u2013 The 40th Anniversary Concert.\u2019\nLea Salonga's tickets have already sold out as of this writing and here are 4 reasons why 40 years later, she can still sell out concert tickets and remain one of the most recognized names in the industry.\n1. Lea is a professional.\nIn this industry where a diva is born every minute and stars think they are entitled, Lea remains a professional. She arrives on time, does what is expected of her, and appreciates the people around her. She can actually throw a tantrum and get away with it but she doesn't. She respects the craft too much.\n2. Lea has a strong support system.\nI met Lea's Mom. Ligaya, and I was able to learn how she managed Lea and her career. She was able to combine the protective side of being a Mother as well as the practical but sensible side of being a manager.\n3. Lea respects her voice.\nOther singers would smoke and not take care of their voice but Lea doesn't do that. She takes care of it because as she says, it is her bread and butter.\n4. Lea appreciates what she has.\nEven with her many awards and recognition, Lea has not allowed any of that to go to her head. She ensures her feet are firmly planted on the ground and that she still takes time to stop and smell the roses. Even with the huge fame she has surrounding her, she knows what really matters in life.\n\u2018It\u2019s a milestone anniversary,\u2019 Lea says. \u2018Not very many people get to celebrate 40 years in this business and be able to fully perform at the level that I\u2019m currently performing.\u2019\n40 years of amazing musical history and looking forward to new things to come. \u2018Lea Salonga \u2013 The 40th Anniversary Concert\u2019 is directed by Bobby Garcia, with musical direction by Gerard Salonga, and featuring the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra.\nThe show is co-presented by East West Bank and the Philipiine Airport Ground Support Solutions, Inc. (PAGSS). It is in partnership with Facial Care Centre, Ethan Allen, Tumi, Philippine Airlines and The Manila Peninsula, with CNN Philippines as exclusive media partner.",

        "raw_content": "HomeOur Firm in the NewsOverhead Bin: How safe is that cruise ship anyway?\nOverhead Bin: How safe is that cruise ship anyway?\nTo hear some folks tell it, cruising is one of the safest forms of travel in the world.To others, it\u2019s an exceedingly risky proposition where you run the risk of robbery, sexual assault and death. The truth? Few really know and those that do, aren\u2019t talking.\nThe subject of the relative safety of cruising is once again in the news. On Nov. 22, Kert Clyde Jordan, 35, of Grenada was charged with engaging in a sexual act with a minor while he was employed as a waiter on the Carnival Liberty.\nThat news comes on the heels of several other incidents, including anoutbreak of Norovirus that sickened 148 on Holland America\u2019s Ryndam, the death of a Celebrity Eclipse passenger after a parasailing accident in the U.S. Virgin Islands and reports of a dead newborn found on the Carnival Dreamin mid-October.\nWorse, say industry critics, such seemingly isolated incidents are indicative of a much larger problem. \u201cI would say that what the cruise industry claims [in terms of passenger safety] doesn\u2019t correspond with the reality,\u201d said Ross Klein, a professor at Memorial University in St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland, and the publisher of CruiseJunkie.com.\n\u201cIt\u2019s probably a little better than it was in previous years,\u201d said Klein, \u201cbut it still has a long way to go.\u201d\nThat gap was supposed to be closed with the passage of the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act last year. In addition to mandating 42-inch guardrails, peepholes in all passengers\u2019 and crewmembers\u2019 doors and on-deck video surveillance, the law also seeks to improve the process by which cruise lines report thefts, sexual assaults and other alleged crimes to the Coast Guard and FBI.\nBut despite the new law, the way incidents are reported is already generating controversy.\n\u201cThe number of cases reported are in line with those reported in previous years and are fully in keeping with the requirements of the law,\u201d said Lanie Morgenstern, director of communications for the Cruise Lines International Association, a cruise industry trade group.\nNot so, counters Kendall Carver, chairman of the International Cruise Victims Association: \u201cInstead of reporting all alleged crimes as required by law, they\u2019re only reporting cases where the FBI opens a file and decides to take action \u2014 minus cases that are still open,\u201d he told msnbc.com.\nAccording to Carver, whose daughter, Merrian, disappeared from the Celebrity Mercury in 2004, the problem is much larger than the posted numbers suggest.\nAs evidence, he points to historical data that shows at least 100 alleged crimes per quarter on board cruise ships as recently as 2007\u20132008. By comparison, the most recent reports, which are compiled by the FBI and posted online by the Coast Guard, show six incidents in the second quarter of 2011 and none in the third quarter.\nPart of the discrepancy lies in the way the numbers are reported. \u201cThere is potentially a slight disconnect between the number the public sees, which is the number of closed cases, and the number of cases that actually occur,\u201d said Alana Juteau, spokesperson for Rep. Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), who introduced the bill. \u201cThere could be many open but those numbers don\u2019t go on the website.\u201d\nCases in point: Neither Kert Clyde Jordan\u2019s alleged sexual assault nor the dead newborn found on Carnival Dream would show up in the statistics. Nor will the FBI discuss the cases due to their open status.\n\u201cThe reporting of an incident doesn\u2019t automatically mean there\u2019s been a crime,\u201d said Kurt Schmidt, a supervisory special agent in the Bureau\u2019s violent crimes unit. \u201cIf someone is saying that we\u2019re supposed to report all incidents, that\u2019s not true.\u201d\nWhat is true is that when it comes to determining the number of onboard incidents, there\u2019s a gap in the new law that you could steer a cruise ship through. On the one hand, the cruise lines are required to record all onboard complaints; on the other, the FBI is only empowered to report cases that are no longer under investigation.\nSo what\u2019s a concerned cruiser to do? Given the disconnect between reporting and recording, the scale of the problem will remain a point of contention. As result, potential cruisers would be wise to take the precautions necessary to ensure their own safety and security:\nSexual assault: \u201cPublic restrooms are a significant risk factor,\u201d said Klein. \u201cA woman should never go into a public bathroom alone after midnight.\u201d\nPhysical violence: \u201cIf someone is being belligerent or in your face, walk away,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not worth ruining your vacation.\u201d\nRobbery: Don\u2019t flash large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry and be extra cautious about big winnings in the casino. \u201cBig winners are targets,\u201d said Charles Lipcon, a maritime lawyer and the author of \u201cUnsafe on the High Seas: Your Guide to a Safer Cruise.\u201d\nChild safety: Despite the \u201chappy bubble\u201d atmosphere on board cruise ships, the reality is that they\u2019re like floating cities full of strangers from around the world. \u201cIf you were in a city, would you let your 13-year-old go walking around alone at midnight?\u201d asks Lipcon. \u201cI don\u2019t think so.\u201d\nFoodborne illnesses: Norovirus and other gastrointestinal problems are transmitted via fecal-oral contact, which is why it\u2019s important to wash your hands regularly and avoid touching your face. Furthermore, advises Klein, \u201cAvoid foods that people can get without using utensils.\u201d\nShore-based accidents: When it comes to parasailing, ziplining and other activities, be cognizant of your own physical limitations. \u201cBe aware of your normal activity levels,\u201d said Klein. \u201cIf you\u2019re not likely to do it at home, don\u2019t do it on vacation.\u201d\nAnd, finally, says Lipcon, be aware that the best defense is simple common sense: \u201cKeep in mind that 10 to 12 million people go on cruises every year and, for most of them, it\u2019s very safe,\u201d he told msnbc.com. \u201cThe No. 1 thing I see where people get into trouble is when they just do something really dumb.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Susanne Madsen | January 6, 2016\nFeatured Leadership Project Management Tips\nBeing an effective leader is hard work.\nThat\u2019s why almost all of the project managers I coach come to me because they want to up their leadership game. While the leadership discussions vary hugely from person to person, there are some common themes and challenges that, once addressed, can significantly help these project managers step up.\nThe most common leadership challenges relate to the people side of project management, rather than traditional themes such as planning and estimation, which skilled project managers already master. What PMs in leadership roles are looking to master includes:\nHow to communicate with more impact\nHow to gain better buy in from senior stakeholders\nHow to improve motivation among team members\nHow to set a good example as a project leader and role model.\nLet\u2019s look at some specific skills that will take your leadership role to the next level.\nCommunicate with clarity, impact and honesty\nMany of the tips that can help you step up and become a better leader relate to getting better at naming the real project issues and recommending a clear way forward. To get results you have to be honest about the true state of the project and say things the way they are. If you aren\u2019t honest, it becomes impossible for others to help move the project forward and trust your leadership. To communicate with clarity, impact and honesty you must:\nAlways highlight the real project risks and issues in status reports and steering committee meetings no matter how unpleasant it may be. The real risks and issues are those that keep you awake at night.\nClarify what you are doing to address each risk and what support you need from managers and stakeholders. No one is interested in problems, so highlight the way forward and what needs to be done to resolve it.\nFacilitate decision making. This means: Provide decision makers with a root cause analysis of issues; what the options are for moving forward; what the impact of each option is on the project\u2019s success criteria, and which option you would recommend. It\u2019s not necessarily your role to decide on the way forward. Your role is to provide as much clarity as possible around options and impact so that the steering board can make a call.\nHave the difficult conversations\nThe ability to name the real issues and communicate with honesty isn\u2019t just related to the risks and issues of a project. It\u2019s also highly relevant when you face a difficult situation with a stakeholder or a team member. If you want to up your leadership game, you have to be able to have a difficult conversation instead of avoiding it out of fear that conflict might break out.\nWhat might such a difficult situation look like? Well, imagine that a senior stakeholder isn\u2019t meeting the deadlines you\u2019ve agreed on, or consistently disregards the needs of the project. This may not be an easy situation for you to approach. Holding people accountable could be the most difficult aspect of leading a project. When you master it well you will be in the league with the best. Here are some tips for you:\nThe first step is to recognize that a frank conversation is required. If your stakeholder is not providing you with the decisions or information you need, you shouldn\u2019t ignore the situation, even if the person is more senior than you. Talking about them to others also does not help. The only recipe is talking with\nConsider the power levels between you and the stakeholder from a psychological standpoint. Do you see yourself as \u201cless worthy\u201d because you\u2019re less senior than this stakeholder and therefore feel that you don\u2019t have the right to hold them accountable? As a project leader, this is your job; and you can do it in a sensitive and respectable manner, too. Make sure that you consider yourself as an equal from a psychological standpoint.\nHave a meeting with the stakeholder, formally or informally depending on their preference, and put your concerns on the table. Don\u2019t cast blame, as that could cause the person to be defensive. Simply say that you\u2019re concerned, and that his or her input to the project is highly valued and necessary to move forward.\nAsk about your stakeholder\u2019s current circumstances. Be careful not to jump to conclusion about why the stakeholder is not delivering on their promises. Show empathy by enquiring about what their facing in their work demands. Ask questions and listen. Maybe there\u2019s a way for you to help the stakeholder give you what you need.\nAnd now the crucial part: Ask for advice! It\u2019s a very disarming and non-threatening move to ask someone for advice, and it helps transfer responsibility to the other person. Simply ask your stakeholder how she proposes moving forward or what she would advise you to do if she were in your shoes.\nFollowing the above steps will help you to address a delicate situation in a sensitive but effective manner.\nDelegate elegantly\nIt isn\u2019t just your stakeholders who you need to hold accountable, but also team members who aren\u2019t keeping their commitments. Upping your leadership game isn\u2019t about pushing people to deliver through. It\u2019s about gaining people\u2019s commitment by involving them in the work and decisions that affect them, and by making sure that there\u2019s something in it for them. One of the ways in which you can do that is by delegating elegantly. When you delegate elegantly, not only do you free yourself up to focus on other important matters, you also help develop the person you\u2019re delegating to in a way that they find motivating. Here\u2019s how to delegate elegantly:\nFirst, you need to create a stretch goal for the person you are delegating to by giving them an assignment, which provides a growth opportunity for them. You may for instance find it tedious to keep track of the project\u2019s budget, but to a more junior member of the team it might be an exciting task, which improves their skill level.\nSecondly, you need to agree with them what a good outcome looks like. In other words: How will you know that the task you are delegating is done well upon completion? This is really about agreeing to an acceptance criteria for the task up front. Don\u2019t specify \u201chow\u201d the task needs to be done; instead, focus on the \u201cwhat\u201d that is expected. Let the team member figure out the \u201chow\u201d as some level of autonomy is a big motivating\nThirdly, you need to agree with the team member on how and how often you will check in with each other. For example, are you going to meet every couple of days or have a phone call on a Friday? This step is crucial. Let the team member know that you don\u2019t want to micro-manage them but that you need to stay in the loop and be available for questions. Set it up so you mutually agree how to keep each other updated so that nobody will be negatively surprised.\nI hope you can see that when you follow the above steps and delegate elegantly it becomes much easier to hold people accountable, motivate them, and work in partnership because you\u2019ve taken the time to put in place clear agreements up front.\nUpping your leadership game is less about tools and techniques, and more about your interpersonal skills. It\u2019s how to handle delicate situations and your ability to name the real issues that can seriously propel you forward.\nWhile you build your leadership skills, developing some good habits can help engage your team and deliver top-notch products.

Rowling, as reported in The Sunday Times on 14th July, and that the story was correct in that it was not a leak or part of a marketing campaign.\nThe book was published by Little, Brown\u2019s Sphere imprint on 18th April, 2013.\nA spokesperson for Little, Brown said, \u201cWe were very pleased and proud to have published The Cuckoo's Calling, and we're delighted with the great response it has been met with from readers, reviewers and fellow writers. We're looking forward to publishing Strike's next instalment in summer 2014.\u201d\nWhen a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the case.\nStrike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world, the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger . . .\nA gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the hushed streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the bustle of Soho - The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable book. Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.\n\u2018The Cuckoo's Calling reminds me why I fell in love with crime fiction in the first place\u2019\n\u2018One of the most unique and compelling detectives I've come across in years\u2019\n\u2018Every time I put this book down, I looked forward to reading more. Gabraith writes at a gentle pace, the pages rich with description and with characters that leap out of them.\nI loved it. He is a major new talent.\u2019\n\u2018One of the best crime novels I have ever read\u2019\n\u2018Just once in a while a private detective emerges who captures the public imagination in a flash. And here is one who might well do that\u2026 There is no sign that this is Galbraith\u2019s first novel, only that he has a delightful touch for evoking London and capturing a new hero. An auspicious debut\u2019\n\u2018a scintillating debut novel\u2026 Galbraith delivers sparkling dialogue and a convincing portrayal of the emptiness of wealth and glamour\u2019\n\u2018There\u2019s yet another fictional detective on the scene and I found him utterly compelling. Cormoran Strike is a one-legged ex-soldier now working as Private Investigator\u2026\nLuckily for Strike, he\u2019s joined by the wonderfully efficient temp, Robin.\nThey\u2019re a team made in heaven and I can\u2019t wait for the next in the series\u2019\n\u2018In a rare feat, Galbraith combines a complex and compelling sleuth and an equally well-formed and unlikely assistant with a baffling crime\u2026\nReaders will hope to see a lot more of this memorable sleuthing team\u2019\n\u2018a gripping tale\u2019\n\u2018The plot could have come from an Agatha Christie novel and yet The Cuckoo\u2019s Calling is absolutely of today, colourfully written and great fun\u2019\nBookOxygen.com\nJ.K.

        "raw_content": "NYC\u2019s affordable housing future in question as 421-a expires\nBrent Lomas Jan 18, 2016\nPhoto: Jeffrey Zeldman/Flickr\nOn January 15th, the deadline to reach an agreement between real estate developers and construction labor unions on the 421-a Tax Abatement program officially expired, meaning the program is done \u2014 at least for now.\n421-a is a partial tax exemption for developers who build residential properties with 20 percent affordable units or who participate in the 421-a Affordable Housing Production Program. The property owner pays a partial tax on the property\u2019s assessed value before any development for a period. The full tax, based on the property\u2019s new assessed value, is spread over an additional period.\nThe standstill raises questions about the future of affordable housing in New York City.\nThe Real Estate Board of New York and the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York (BCTCGNY) were to reach a \u201cmemorandum of understanding\u201d on worker\u2019s wages by January 15th, but were unable to do so, likely due to a sticking point on prevailing wages, industry-standard salaries and benefits set by the state and the city comptroller that are usually higher than median wages\nAccording to a recent Independent Budget Office (IBO) report, REBNY is resistant to labor\u2019s push for prevailing wages for all new construction jobs that receive 421-a. The IBO indicated that higher pay for construction workers would raise affordable housing costs by 13 percent and add $2.8 billion to the mayor\u2019s housing plan.\nA report from the NYU Furman Center said 98 percent of rental units in Manhattan benefitted from 421-a exemptions between 2011 and 2014.\nWithout 421-a, the Furman Center predicts a drastic disruption in the supply of rental housing by market-rate builders, though new condo construction would likely be insulated. They also foresee diminishing land prices, increasing rents overall and a reduction in affordable housing.\nBoth REBNY and BCTCGNY have indicated in statements that they are open to further negotiations.\nREBNY President John Banks said that the renter population in NYC will continue to grow and policy needs to accommodate it with housing options. \u201cWithout a program like 421-a, one can\u2019t build multi-family rental housing with a significant below-market, or affordable, component on a scale necessary to address the City\u2019s needs,\u201d he said in a statement.\nBCTCGNY President Gary LaBarbera noted the \u201cgood faith effort by all parties,\u201d but stressed the need for the deal to create more middle class jobs. \u201cWe remain ready to engage with all stakeholders in the weeks and months ahead to achieve our goals,\u201d he said in a statement tweeted from the BCTCGNY Twitter account.",

        "raw_content": "Types of Ankle Braces\nShagra Stone\nAnkle sprains are one of the most prevalent orthopedic injuries. Sufferers of ankle sprains are highly susceptible to recurrence. Ankle supports can help prevent repeated injury by stabilizing the ankle and limiting its range of motion. Choosing the correct ankle support can be difficult, as they have different sizes, types and functions.\nThere are three types of sprains that occur at the ankle\u2014lateral, medial and high. Lateral or outside ankle sprains are the most common. The \u201cJournal of Athletic Training\u201d reports 85 percent of all ankle sprains are lateral. Most braces are designed to prevent inversion ankle sprains. Medial, or inside and high, ankle sprains are less common. Nonetheless, ankle braces prevent excessive range of motion to prevent injury.\nThere are three types of ankle brace\u2014lace-up, post-injury and rigid braces. Low-end ankle braces can be found at commercial sporting goods stores. Higher-end supports must be ordered online or through medical supply companies. In severe cases ankle braces must be custom fit and ordered through a physician.\nLace-up braces are semi-rigid and made from a nylon-vinyl material. The advantage of this brace is that it can be tightened according to the wearer's comfort level. The semi-rigid structure allows for more flexibility than a rigid brace. A lace-up brace can be used as a prophylactic. Lace-ups can be found in commercial sporting good stores, drug stores, or on-line. Prices range from $25 to $40.\nPost-injury braces are very rigid braces. They are either air-filled or gel-filled with two plastic panels that contour each side of the leg. There is a hinge that allows for plantarflexion and dorsiflexion. Post-injury braces are primarily used to push out swelling and prevent inversion and eversion. These types of braces are not intended for functional activity. Post-injury braces can be found at select pharmacies or through medical supply companies. Prices range from $30 to $40.\nRigid braces come in two different types, stirrup or lace-up. They brace can be used in conjunction with rehabilitation of an injury. Stirrup braces allow the ankle to move up or down, and protect the ankle from rolling in or out. This brace has a high level of protection and is commonly used in volleyball and basketball due to the frequency of jumping. The lace-up brace has two plastic inserts on each side of the ankle to prevent inversion and eversion. Some brands have included straps that wrap around the ankle for additional support. These braces can be bought through medical supply companies. The two best-known brands are Active Ankle and Don-Joy. Prices range from $30 to $45.\n\"Journal of Athletic Training\"; Ankle Bracing, Fatigue, and Time to Stabilization in Collegiate Volleyball Athletes; MeganY. Shaw,MS, ATC, PhillipA.

        "raw_content": "London Fashion Week Men's Celebrates its 5th Anniv...\nLondon Fashion Week Men's Celebrates its 5th Anniversary\nToday, 12th June, marks the close of the fifth anniversary of London Fashion Week Men\u2019s. It has been a stellar week, further establishing London as the home of menswear and attracting designers, media, retailers and business leaders from 45 countries.\nAlongside a show schedule featuring the talent, innovation and heritage that London is known for, this season also saw a number of stand-out events. Things kicked off on Thursday with an intimate celebration at Mark\u2019s Club, co-hosted by Caroline Rush CBE, Elizabeth Saltzman and Tracey Emin CBE, the event also saw Dylan Jones OBE launch his new book: London Sartorial: Men\u2019s Style from Street to Bespoke. Shows, events and presentations took place across the capital, from the brands and partners that are part of London\u2019s past and future menswear history, including 10 Magazine, Barbour International, Belstaff, British GQ & Tom Ford, Burberry, David Furnish x LqD, Dunhill, Hackett, Kent & Curwen, MAN, Mr Porter, Oliver Spencer, Rag&Bone, Stephen Webster, Stella McCartney, TOPMAN Design and Vivienne Westwood.\nRenowned artist Tracey Emin CBE RA designed a special 5th anniversary logo for LFWM in her signature handwriting; two unique neon works were on display at the home of LFWM, The Store Studios, 180 Strand and a third in a dedicated window at Selfridges, London. The British Fashion Council (BFC) also collaborated with i-D to produce the A-Z of London Menswear, a salute to the vibrant visionaries who make the capital the most exciting place in the world for menswear today. A partnership with Ocean Outdoor increased the city-wide reach of the LFWM celebratory logo and content, featured on screens in Canary Wharf, Holland Park and Westfield London and seen by 1,510,884 views across 4 days. This morning sees the continuation of the BFC\u2019s collaboration with Snapchat, premiering the first LFWM global live story featuring Monday\u2019s standout moments, designed with a 5th Anniversary LFWM geo-filter.\nNew Menswear Industry Statistics Announced\nThe BFC are thrilled to see the growth of the UK menswear industry as announced by Mintel:\nThe men\u2019s clothing market grew by 2.8% in 2016 to reach \u00a314.5 billion\nMenswear now accounts for 27% (up 2% from 2016) of the total clothing market as sales of menswear continue to rise at a faster rate than womenswear\nMenswear is predicted to grow by 12.43% between 2016 and 2021 to reach \u00a316.2billion\n42% of male shoppers agree that it is worth paying more for clothes made in Britain\nLondon\u2019s Deputy Mayor for Culture and the Creative Industries, Justine Simons, said: \u2018From world-class designers and established brands, to emerging talent and independent boutiques, our great city can easily lay claim to being one of the big four fashion capitals of the world, alongside Paris, Milan and New York. Nowhere is this clearer than at London Fashion Week Men\u2019s, which attracts the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of international designer talent, media and business leaders, everywhere from Mexico to Manchester. The past week has showcased exactly why our fashion industry is a global trailblazer and one that contributes a staggering amount to our city\u2019s economy every year. Full of innovation, imagination and style, the fifth anniversary of LFWM has once again presented London at its open, global and creative best.\u2019\nDylan Jones, Chair of LFWM, commented: \u2018The fifth anniversary of London Fashion Week Men's has been as surprising as it has been exhausting. With over 100 events, runway shows, presentations, installations, cocktail parties, dinners and full-on raves, #LFWM once again proved that London has more stamina that any other fashion capital. As for the shows, they have been extraordinary, from the psychedelic to the formal, from Charles Jeffrey and MAN to the best of Savile Row, and from Dunhill and Richard James to Vivienne Westwood. There really is no place like London.\u2019\nSince its inception, LFWM has showcased the breath of the British menswear market from emerging talent and streetwear to heritage brands and Savile Row tailoring. More than 200 brands have been a part of over 750 catwalk shows, presentations and events in venues across the capital in the last five years, with over 230 designers shown as a part of the Designer Showrooms.\nIn London's Olympic year, 2012, HRH Prince Charles hosted an event at St James' Palace to launch the first menswear showcase. The launch of a standalone menswear platform for London was made possible with support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the Mayor of London, the Department of International Trade, and BFC Partners. The first ever season of shows was brought together with the help of the BFC Menswear Committee, chaired by Dylan Jones OBE, who continue to support LFWM. An incredible community of people have taken part in the event each season, and the BFC wish to thank all designers, past and present sponsors, PRs, casting directors, models, production companies, venues, press and buyers who have been part of LFWM over the last five years. A special thank you to our menswear ambassadors: David Furnish, David Gandy, Dermot O\u2019Leary, Hu Bing, Lewis Hamilton, Nick Grimshaw and Tinie Tempah.\nThe generosity and commitment of our sponsors is more vital than ever.

        "raw_content": "Jerome was a man of extremes. His real name was Eusebius Hieronymus Sophronius. He lived to age 91 even though he undertook extreme penances. Jerome had a fierce temper but an equally intense love of Christ.\nThis brilliant saint was born in Eastern Europe around 345. His Christian family sent him to Rome at age 12 for a good education. He studied there until he was 20. Then he and his friends lived in a small monastery for three years, until the group dissolved. Jerome set out for Palestine, but when he reached Antioch, he fell seriously ill. He dreamt one night that he was taken before the judgment seat of God and condemned for being a heretic. This dream made a deep impression on him.\nAlthough Jerome wished to study rather than to be a priest, he was ordained. Again he tried the life of a monk in the desert, but impure temptations plagued him. To fight them, he studied Hebrew, wrote letters counseling friends in the spiritual life, and copied books. Finally, Jerome moved to Constantinople. He studied Scripture under the Greek theologian Gregory Nazianzen. Pope Damasus summoned him to Rome and had him translate the Bible into Latin, a 30-year task. His translation, called the Vulgate, became the official text of the Catholic Church.\nJerome was strong willed. His writings, especially those opposing what he considered heresy, were sometimes explosive. His temperament helped him do difficult tasks, but it also made him enemies. Jerome was named a Doctor of the Church for the Vulgate, his commentaries on Scripture, his writings on monastic life, and his belief that during a controversy on theological opinions, the See of Rome was where the matter should be settled.\nJerome also guided a group of Christian widows who were practicing a semimonastic life. Gossip about his spending so much time with women led Jerome to move to Bethlehem. There, Jerome trained Paula and Eustochium to be Scripture scholars and to assist him.\nAsk the students to find out what a spiritual director is and how one can help a person to be holy.\nHave the students find out what translations of the Bible are available.\nImage credit: Saint Jerome in the Wilderness by Pinturicchio, 1480.

He was 73 and it was less than a year before he died of cancer, a little more than a year after he learned that there was no treatment for his particular neoplasm. I heard him furtively, or not so furtively, whingeing to someone on the phone, to a woman. (I had returned to the small West Virginia town where my parents lived and where he had long worked as a pathologist and was now chief of staff at a veterans\u2019 hospital.) I didn\u2019t think that he was speaking to someone with whom he was having an affair \u2013 he was past that \u2013 but I did know that she was in every way inappropriate, that he was being self-pitying with someone to whom he ought, in my view, not to have revealed himself. He was being abject: not in, or with, his body as Freud dreamed of his father, but emotionally.\nI am not talking about my father in dreams \u2013 he almost never appears there \u2013 but of him in his \u2018real life\u2019. I have a strange photograph of him in that life. It shows three young men dressed in high riding boots and what seems to be Prussian military uniform \u2013 white jodhpurs, dark, perhaps blue, gold-braided tunics, a white sash. (The Junker grandees in the von Werner painting of the proclamation of the Second Reich in 1871 were dressed rather like this.) The three look no older than their twenty years. They stand with an easy weightiness on a low flight of stairs bounded by an iron railing. One of them, thin and with perhaps a certain aristocratic insouciance, stands on the top step; the other two are on the bottom step and have both hands firmly around the hilts of unsheathed sabres.\nTwo things tell us that these boys are not Prussian cadets but students in a duelling fraternity: they are wearing \u2013 at the appropriate angle \u2013 the small caps that German students adopted in the 19th century; and their hands are covered by white gloves with long sleeves. The boy on the top step, the one without a sabre, is identified on the back as \u2018Coco\u2019 (in another photo I have he is seen finishing second in a 100-metre race at the 1931 Burschentag \u2013 the Burschenshaft was a student duelling society \u2013 in Berlin). The one on the left on the bottom step is identified as \u2018Ego\u2019: my father. The year is 1929. The boys are making a statement that they would have expected their parents, as well as strangers, to understand. Max Weber\u2019s mother slapped his face when he came home from university with a duelling scar, taking it as a sign that he was gravitating away from her pietism and towards the physicality and boorishness of his father. I don\u2019t think my father understood his choice to be so stark. He thought, as a letter I will come to in a moment suggests, that he could have the body and the spirit too.\nAlmost all the pictures I have of him before he came to the United States have a quality of physical comfort and ease in the world: he is with a group of schoolfellows aged 14 or 15 on rocks in the harbour in Hamburg; he is in an open car with a girlfriend; he stands in his Abitur picture with a small group of young men and the headmaster, around a bas relief of a bewigged worthy. The three buttons of his fashionable jacket are done up; he knows he looks good. It is a happy picture of young men born too late to have suffered in the Great War. My father looks as if he is taking pleasure in having graduated during the 400th anniversary of a school that one of Luther\u2019s followers wrested away from the monastery of St John in 1529 and renamed the Johanneum. Great figures of the German Enlightenment had taught or studied there; C.P.E. Bach and Telemann had been music masters during the 18th century.\nAll this is to make clear that my image of my father before I knew him is of a rather beautiful and physically successful young man. He is anything but abject. My brother has the silver cup he won in a Hamburg tennis tournament. But, more to the point, it is an image of a body that is already embraced by culture, by something elevating, something more than matter. That embrace slackened in the coal towns of West Virginia.\nFreud\u2019s dreams, interpretations and memories of his dead father\u2019s body have an entirely different valence from what I have been describing. There is, first of all, the dream of being offered a drink from an Etruscan urn that was, in real, waking life, sitting on his nightstand; the water tasted salty \u2013 \u2018obviously from the ashes\u2019, he says. He had not yet written about the band of brothers devouring the primal father, but already, in 1900, he could write about the son wishing his father dead, about the \u2018dark tidings that reach us in myth and legend from primeval days\u2019, and about the necessity of Zeus castrating his father just as Cronus had eaten his children. (In Hesiod, Cronus castrates his father, Uranus, and then swallows his own children to prevent the same thing happening to him; one of them, Zeus, is saved by a trick and gives him an emetic; he vomits them up and is then held captive in Tartarus. The nastiness of the two stories is the same.)\nVol. 28 No. 17 \u00b7 7 September 2006 \u00bb Thomas Laqueur \u00bb Diary",

He serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, The Kripalu Center and the Esalen Institute. Also a noted playwright and educator, he served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years. He directed the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Goddard College for many years, and he now serves on the college\u2019s Board of Trustees. He lives in New York City where he maintains a private practice as an intuitive and conducts frequent live-stream seminars.\nPaul Selig is a highly sought-after psychic, and one of the most respected spiritual channels in the world. He's also the first channel we've featured on the podcast.\nBut becoming a spiritual teacher was never Paul\u2019s intention (and he doesn\u2019t claim to be one now). In fact, young Paul might have laughed at someone who believed in a higher power or the realm of spirit. Like many of us, he was skeptical and cynical of spirituality \u2013 until one night changed the rest of his life.\nAfter the harmonic convergence in 1987, Paul started to experience the world differently. He wanted to understand what he was experiencing so he studied a form of energy healing and, in the process, began to tap into this clairvoyant ability to \u201chear\u201d for his clients.\nDescribed as \u201ca medium for the living,\u201d Paul has the unique ability to step into and \u201cbecome\u201d the people his clients ask about, often taking on their personalities and physical characteristics as he \u201chears\u201d them telepathically. It\u2019s mind-blowing when you see it happen live, and you can catch some of this magic in real time in this very episode.\nI love all of the latest and greatest biohacking technology, but at the root of all my experiments and education is a deep spiritual mission \u2013 one that I feel a little closer to after this conversation.\nWill you join us on this journey of personal and planetary evolution? Do you wish to awaken to your divine nature? Are you skeptical any of this is real?\nThen come along for the ride. I think you\u2019ll be surprised, and perhaps even awed by Paul\u2019s unique ability to tap into the unseen realms.\nHow Paul\u2019s guides react to different questions and intentions\nThroughout the interview listeners get to experience a live channeling session focusing on Luke\u2019s experiences with drug abuse, whether or not he should explore plant medicines, what\u2019s blocking his love life, and whether he should have kids.\nLearn more at https://paulselig.com\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/paul.selig/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paul.selig\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/paulselig\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/paulseligvideos\nThe Book of Love and Creation\nEpisode 37: The New Age of Ancient Wisdom Part One with Guru Jagat\nEpisode 125: Holy Ghosts and Astral Auras: The Supernatural Powers of Mama Medicine with Deborah Hanekamp\nEpisode 138: EpiEnergetics: The Miraculous Healing Powers of Donny Epstein\nEpisode 143: Cosmic Comedy: The Ultimate Spirit Hack with Kyle Cease\nEpisode 154: Spirithacking: Ancient Wisdom and Tribal Truth with Shaman Durek\nEpisode 161: Lessons of a Lightworker: From Illumination to Liberation with Danielle LaPorte\nEpisode 164: Divine Reality: The Modern Mysticism of SriMati (AKA Julie Piatt)\nEpisode 170: Soul Power Spirituality: Luke Live at Osteostrong",

        "raw_content": "Submitted By poopman1234567890\nThe story I'm about to share with you is 100% truthful, and a very intense experience I will never forget. But before I share this story with you there are a few things you should know about me first. My mother and father got me and my siblings involved in the sport of dirt biking a little over 10 years ago. We have been riding ever since, but it's mainly an experience me and my father have shared for many years now. Being very experienced riders, we expected for this trip to be like any other we have gone on, little did we know that trouble loomed in the near distant future. It was a warm Friday during the spring of 2009 that my dad and I were packing up the gearbox, a fifth wheel trailer, in preparation for the big trip we always took with Bayside Church out to Yerington, Nevada for a weekend of fun filled activities, mainly on dirt bikes. We finally were underway for the four and a half hour trip to the desert. Stopping along the way for diesel and food, passing through the great snowy sierra Nevada mountains. Once we dropped down onto the flat of Nevada it would only be a few more hours till we reached our destination. The anticipation was building as we neared closer and closer to the camp site. We arrived that afternoon and set up camp, in preparation for tomorrow's 65 mile loop in the desert. That morning was especially cold, the bikes did not want to start, being that the temperature dropped to 35 degrees that night. It was almost as if a higher power was silently telling us to take caution, or to cancel the ride. Once we got the bikes started me and my dad went off down the desert path to a huge fork in the road, with paths leading 4 different directions. We were experienced riders that had been here before many times, so we were not paying much attention to the signs that were there. Well what we didn't know was that last season those very trails were remapped and given new titles. Me and my dad took off down one of the path's thinking we knew exactly where we were headed. As lunch time came, we arrived in a place we were not familiar with. We shrugged it off, ate, and got back on our way hoping to connect back with a trail we knew. As we entered into a ravine with cliffs on either side shooting up at least 30 feet, we hit an old ancient riverbed that we dirt bikers call \"river wash\" the wash part comes due to the sand that sits at the bottom, that is a consistency of ultra fine grains of sand, and is very hard to navigate through. As all dirt bikers should do, when one reaches the next intersection you wait for the person behind you. I waited at this intersection for a few minutes, that's when I knew something must be wrong, so I quickly turned around. As I traveled down the path I came to see the sight of my dad down in the sand not moving. The worst thoughts came to my mind. I quickly parked\u2026\nRelated Documents: Reflective Essay\nReflective Essay: ANCIENT ATHENA DRAMA Mysteries and tragedies have always been one of my favorite readings.

I think installation should be the responsibility of the curators of the objects, although I continue to be critical of the generally artificial way in which objects are installed. To have artists make such installations is likely to perpetuate devious installation. I accepted the problem as a favour to the museum, and I accepted as a premise for myself that I would not contradict the judgement of the curator responsible, Christian Witt-D\u00f6rring. I think we did our best. The museum's premise, the installation's set fact, was that the Dubsky room, originally a room in a palace, had to be reconstructed in a much larger room of the museum. I was told there was no alternative. The room could be remade either in one of the corners of the exhibition room, leaving an awkward right angle for the other furniture, or it could be remade in the center of the room, leaving a symmetrical space and possibly establishing a room within a room - a good idea. I asked that this be done. The Dubsky room is too large and is awkward, but placing it in the center was the right decision. The room and most of the other furniture were made in the eighteenth century for the aristocracy. The room's grandeur is uncertain, and therefore excessive. It is uneasy; Chardin is not uneasy. All architecture and most installations are now uneasy. Why is Chardin simple, strong and easy? The separate pieces of furniture are placed symmetrically, usually in pairs, usually opposite each other. A rectangular space usually determines this. The positioning of the furniture was also carefully decided with regard to the size, color, and type of each piece. I asked for part of the moulding under the ceiling of the large room to be repeated around the exterior of the Dubsky room, to further incorporate it into the eighteenth century space made in the nineteenth century, and to reduce the excessive generality of its exterior. This is a small, uneasy room uneasily placed in a large, doubly uneasy room. I think it should be in the basement. But Witt-D\u00f6rring and I did our best, uneasily./ Donald Judd\nThe MAK's collections contain some splendid examples of eighteenth-century cabinet-making. The emphasis in the collection is on pieces from the cultural realm encompassing Austria, France, and Germany. These bear witness to the tremendous typological, technical, and formal developments that took place during the course of the eighteenth century. The bureau cabinet, with its origins in the seventeenth century, is gradually replaced as a prestigious furniture item by the writing desk, the southern German form of which is known as a \"tabernacle cabinet.\u0094 In France, the chest of drawers develops as a new kind of case furniture providing storage space in the living area, a reaction to the growth of the private sphere and the increasing desire for comfort. Forms of writing furniture that arise include the basic desk and the cylinder desk. The surface decoration of furniture becomes more varied, and is used to meet novel requirements and fashions (wooden and Boulle marquetry, lacquer, porcelain, etc.). Interior design itself becomes more uniform with the development of mobile and immobile furnishings. Furniture enters into decorative unity, and often structural unity, with the room. The porcelain room from the Dubsky Palace in Brno eloquently documents this, as well as marking the beginning of porcelain production in Vienna, from 1719 onward. / Christian Witt-D\u00f6rring - curator of the MAK Furniture and Woodwork Collection during the phase of the reinstallation of the MAK Permanent Collection in the early 1990s)\nBorn 1928 in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Died 1994 in New York.\nThe painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, art critic, and philosopher Donald Judd was one of the most important representatives of Minimal Art. Like no other, he redefined the relation between art and space.\nIn 1971, Judd moved to Marfa, Texas where he established the Chinati Foundation which was opened to the public in 1986. Works of Judd and of his contemporaries are on permanent display here. The Chinati Foundation exemplifies one of Judd\u2019s greatest concerns: the appropriate presentation of artworks. This has gradually led to a change of thought in museums in favor of a more unified and coherent display of artworks.",

He\u2019s won the last three,\u201d said Savelli.\n\u2018Global interest\u2019\nAround 600 police officers and 200 hundred stewards have been employed for the match and the town is ringed by roadblocks making sure those who enter are either locals or have match tickets.\nMeanwhile major daily Corriere Della Sera says that such is the global media interest that there will be a journalist for every 80 of the town\u2019s inhabitants.\nSet in a valley at the foot of the Italian Alps, Villar Perosa (population: roughly 4,100) is the home of the family estate and summer retreat of the powerful Agnelli family, who bought what is nicknamed \u201cThe Castle\u201d in the mid-19th century and established the annual alpine curtain raiser in the town.\nSuch was the dominance of the family\u2014founders of Fiat and owners of Juventus since 1923, give or take a few years around the Second World War\u2014over Villar Perosa that deceased former club chairman Gianni Agnelli was mayor between 1945 and 1980.\nCesare Bertoncello, from Turin, was pointed out to AFP by security as being the first person to get to the barriers separating Via Nazionale from the ground, at 0900 (0700 GMT).\n\u201cI\u2019ve been coming here since I was 12 years old back in the 1960s, when (Gianni) Agnelli would arrive here in a helicopter,\u201d he said.\n\u201cI\u2019m always happy to come here and I hope it brings us good luck like it has in the past.\nEuro glory\nEstablished custom dictates that five minutes after half-time fans invade the pitch, bringing the game to a halt as supporters charge after and greet their heroes, and people are keen to get up close and personal with their new idol Ronaldo, who looked in typically good shape upon his arrival.\n\u201cI\u2019d like to get on the pitch and greet him, but just seeing him live in a Juve kit is enough for me,\u201d added Savelli.\nItalian and Spanish media report that Real Madrid and Juventus\u2019 club doctors found that the 33-year-old\u2019s strict training and diet routine\u2014the subject of many of his Instagram posts\u2014mean he still has the physical capability of someone 10 years his junior.\nHis monk-like devotion to his body has kept it in the sort of condition that Juve fans hope will bring them European glory.\n\u201cFor me the Champions League remains the dream and I hope that Ronaldo can help us with that objective,\u201d said Luca Del Vecchio, who is in his \u201cmid-20s\u201d.\n\u201cBut at the end of the day it\u2019s a whole team that wins you that trophy, not one player. \u2014 AFP\nCopa America, Euro 2016 \u2015 five differences\nAfter the insanity, Euro 2016 turns to revenge and giant slaying\nRonaldo trains ahead of Champions League final",

        "raw_content": "The art of apologising\nAs companies are starting to realise, saying sorry can take the heat out of a situation, but you must show real contrition rather than distant regret.\nDespite what Elton John sang, sorry seems to be the easiest word. In February, the Australian prime minister Kevin Rudd apologised in parliament to all Aborigines for laws and policies that had 'inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss' on the nation's indigenous people.\nRudd was following in the footsteps of Tony Blair who, towards the end of his time in Downing Street, expressed his 'deep sorrow' for the slave trade. (He had ticked off the Irish potato famine at the beginning of his term of office.) Such apologies - necessarily prefixed with 'historic' - are becoming the stock-in-trade of politicians in touch with their softer side.\nBut corporates, too, are feeling contrite. US toy company Mattel has apologised to its customers for deficiencies in its Chinese-made toys, and then to the Chinese people for suggesting, in the first round of apologies, that the faults resulted from Chinese manufacturing errors when in fact Mattel's American designers appear to have played a significant role. Most famously, Nike's founder and chairman Phil Knight apologised for the company's errors in 2005, a key step in the rehabilitation of the brand after the revelations of child labour in its supply chain.\nAll this contrition is a long way from the dictum of First World War admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher: 'Never explain, never apologise'. In part, it reflects a straightforward move towards greater emotional openness, so rapid that anyone now failing to emote on a daily basis is considered repressed. It's all wrapped up with personal growth, healing, authenticity, being your whole self and so on. Which, I should say, if only to avoid the inevitable therapeutic referrals, is all fantastic. I recommend the Daily Forgiveness Calendar ($14.99), with a suitably exculpatory quote for each day, available from forgivenessweb.com.\nIt is clearly a better world when we take responsibility for our wrongdoings and seek to make amends with a genuine apology. Apologies take the heat out of conflict, aid resolution and - crucially - provide opportunities for forgiveness. How often, when you've been treated badly by a friend or a firm, or a driver, do you need nothing more than to hear 'I'm sorry'? From a human being, of course, rather than the automated voice when you are stuck on hold.\nAnd guess what, there may even be a business case for it. When a firm fouls up, the damage to its brand will certainly be less if there is a swift acceptance of responsibility and apology. It could even help in court: research by University of Illinois professor Jennifer Robbennolt discovered that 73% of legal plaintiffs settled the lawsuit when the defendant said sorry, compared to 52% of identical cases without an apology.\nThere's a burgeoning field in 'apology studies' in the social sciences, and a number of researchers have tried to throw some light on the question of saying sorry at work. In a paper presented to the International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences in 2007, Tamar Walfisch and her colleagues tracked the responses of workers to apologies. They found that apologies carried more weight from senior people; that face-to-face sorries counted for more than e-mail ones; and - perhaps the most surprising finding - that men were more likely to forgive following an apology than women. In this sense at least, it seems men are the fairer sex.\nPhilosophers aren't going to be left out, of course, especially when such conferences are held in places like the University of Granada, in sunny Andalusia. Nick Smith, an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of New Hampshire and author of a rather wonderful new book, I Was Wrong: The meanings of apologies (Cambridge University Press), has described the requirements for a real - or 'categorical' - apology. It's the best working model for a 'proper sorry' that anyone has yet come up with. Smith's list includes 'acceptance of causal responsibility rather than mere expression of sympathy'. It has to be clear that the apologiser is saying sorry for what they did, rather than just for what happened. Consider President Reagan's statement on the Iran-Contra affair, which fails to meet this condition: 'It's obvious that the execution of these policies was flawed and mistakes were made.' In other words: boy, someone sure screwed up, but it wasn't me!\nAnother of Smith's critical factors is a 'shared commitment to violated moral principles'. The regretful party has to admit to having broken not only your rules of conduct, but their own: it is the difference between saying 'I'm sorry if that offended you' and 'I am sorry that I was offensive to you'.\nSmith also insists that the person making the apology has the 'standing' to make it - in other words, that they are the appropriate agent. As Smith writes: 'I can only categorically apologise for an injury that I caused because I cannot accept responsibility otherwise.' That rules out Blair's apologies, and Pope John Paul II's apology for the Catholic church's role in the Crusades.\nA real apology goes like this: 'I messed up doing X, which I recognise is a bad thing. I feel rotten about it. I am really sorry.' In a way, though, even a real apology is the easy bit. It is in the response that the glory lies. I may be sorry, but unless the injured party accepts my apology it will be of limited value. As Alexander Pope reminded us, to err is human, to forgive divine.\n- Richard Reeves may be contacted at: richard@richard-reeves.com.",

        "raw_content": "Warning: The OFT can seriously damage your health\nThose bruisers at the OFT are at it again. This time it's the tobacco industry in the firing line...\nJust days after launching a major probe into the construction industry, the Office of Fair Trading has announced that it also has its suspicions about the tobacco industry \u2013 specifically cigarette-makers Imperial Tobacco and Gallaher, and the supermarkets that sell their products. It\u2019s accusing thirteen companies of colluding to co-ordinate the retail prices of cigarettes \u2013 not quite the same as price-fixing, but equally illegal nonetheless.\nAccording to the OFT, which has apparently been sniffing around the industry for about five years, the manufacturers and retailers arranged to price cigarettes with reference to the price of rival brands \u2013 and thus \u2018restricted the ability of each of these retailers to determine its selling prices independently\u2019. It\u2019s also alleging that seven of the companies exchanged ideas about future retail pricing. \u2018If proven, the alleged practices would amount to a serious breach of the law,\u2019 said chief executive John Fingleton.\nThis is all well and good \u2013 but we can\u2019t help feeling that bit about proof is kind of important. The OFT itself admitted that \u2018at this stage it should not be assumed that the parties involved have broken the law\u2019 \u2013 so in which case, why is it naming and shaming the accused parties in such a public way? Its argument is that there might be a danger of insider trading if it tried to investigate discreetly - but then accusing someone of a wrong-doing that carries a possible fine of up to 10% of turnover might have the same effect. And as Tesco pointed out today (as it pleaded its innocence), it hasn\u2019t even seen the details of the allegations yet...\nNormally, you\u2019d assume that the OFT had such a watertight case that it felt confident enough to go public with the allegations before approaching those involved \u2013 perhaps because of an inside mole who\u2019s been supplying them with bullet-proof information. But it doesn\u2019t exactly have a great track record in this area. Only this week, it agreed to pay \u00a3100k to Morrisons to settle a defamation case, after pre-empting an investigation with a press release suggesting that the supermarket had colluded with dairies to fix the price of dairy products (the investigation is apparently ongoing, but Morrisons says all the problems happened at Safeway years before they bought it). In fact, its relentless public pursuit of big corporates in recent years has led to widespread criticism that it\u2019s developed a rather unseemly interest in seeing its name in the papers.\nStill, you certainly couldn\u2019t accuse it of lacking the stomach for a fight. It\u2019s come back for a second round with Morrisons, just days after receiving a knockout punch \u2013 Morrisons is one of the 13 companies accused in the cigarette-pricing probe, while old OFT adversaries Tesco, Sainsbury, and Asda are also back in the firing line.\nImperial and Gallaher are unlikely to get much in the way of public support - Big Tobacco has to be just about the easiest target for a regulator - and the big supermarkets aren\u2019t universally popular either. But since the taxpayer will end up footing the bill every time it has to shell out in compensation, let\u2019s just hope Fingleton and co have actually got their facts right this time...\nStrategy Leisure & Tourism Retail Food",

        "raw_content": "CRISPR technology is a simple yet incredibly powerful tool for editing genomes, the fundamental building blocks of any organism. It allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function potentially with no limits or boundaries to what can be done to alter the physical attributes of animals and human beings. The process uses enzymes to cut through sections of DNA allowing new sequences to be added or parts removed. The result is that we can now completely alter genes, therefore the actual structure of an organism itself. Perfected over a five year period on animal subjects CRISPR researchers are now beginning the first human trials. There are multiple applications for this process but the potential is extraordinary including things such as correcting genetic defects, eradicating hereditary disease, improving crop design, changing livestock, designing children and fashioning our own bodies as we see fit to make us stronger, taller, smarter and live longer. There are of course many difficult moral and scientific questions yet to be answered with this technology and it could be argued that altering ourselves in such a dramatic fashion, particularly in the realms of choosing our own attributes, could have many negative effects on our species in the long run and be unethical.\nWhilst various types of gene editing techniques have existed for the last couple of decades, CRISPR represents a major revolution in our ability to manipulate DNA. Over four times more efficient than techniques used in the past and with extensive lab animal testing to back it up, researchers are now pushing ahead with human tests. In late 2016 the process began and now in 2017 there are over twenty different projects in a wide variety of countries that are performing the process on humans.\nIts many potential applications include correcting genetic defects and deactivating dangerous illnesses. The ideal situation would be for CRISPR to provide a standard solution for any given detected illness and a simple injection of the appropriate CRISPR response to shut down the illness in a single step. That would be the dream outcome for the technology.\nA second use for the abilities of the CRISPR technology is to use it to alter DNA in human embryos, eggs and sperm and this is where the technology becomes much more controversial. The difference between using the technology on an adult and on developing cells is extensive and the implications for the later are concerning. Intervening in developing cells will lock in those changes, making them permanent in such a way as the changes will be passed on in a hereditary fashion to children born down the line.\nWith CRISPR, there is no doubt that there are multiple very concerning implications to the technology. Should humans actually alter their genetic code to introduce preferential attributes? Should parents be allowed to dictate what their children look like? And, perhaps most pressing of all, should we be altering our own evolutionary path in this extreme way? All of those ethical questions will have to be decided upon much further down the line and a large amount of regulation will have to make sure, if we do allow any of these things, that they can be safely controlled.\nTo read our full analyst insight on this topic please visit marketline.com\nPosted in Healthcare.",

        "raw_content": "Home Business 3 New Reasons for You to Market that Business with a Website\nIf you are in business and you don\u2019t yet have a website for that business, it is time for you to start asking yourself why. If asking the big little question is good enough for Steve Jobs, it is good enough for you. Every time someone came up with a new idea he would ask that simple question, why. Why do this?\nSo, if you are running a business that is successful, though maybe not as busy as you would like it to be, you may be asking the same thing. Why mess with a good thing if this business is already humming along without a website? Well, here are a few good answers, and none of them are \u201cbecause everyone else has one.\u201d\nIt Tells Your Story\nEven if you never plan to add an international payment gateway so you can sell to millions in foreign lands, you can still use the site to tell your story. After all, we have to imagine there was a compelling reason for you to start this business up. My guess is that it is one that more people would like to know, and sharing it with them let\u2019s them in on your passion behind this business.\nSo, use that website to tell your story to them, and why you love it so much. It is after all, your story of why you started this business that is at the core of it. Share it through the website, with your bio and even perhaps a blog about what is happening in this world. It will connect you just as if you were there in the store, chatting over a cup of coffee.\nBetter Than a Catalog\nSome people say that putting up a website is just like publishing a mail order catalog, and that is true up to a point. But the thing that a website can do that no catalogue can do is reach out to those who are looking at it. So, remember that beyond just letting everyone know the hundred and one different widgets you have to offer the world, there is the reason you want to offer them.\nConnects You to Your Customers\nWhat fascinates you about those widgets so that you want to track down every variety they come in and offer them up? That is the story we want to know, when we go to your site to look for the missing elusive widget we need. You might be the only website that offers 167 varieties of widgets that you know about, and your customers may be the kind of people that are always on the hunt for just the right one.\nThis is the part of your business that connects you to them, and makes it easy for them to see that you are their go-to website when they are building and need the right widget to complete it. You share their passion for having the right thing at the right time. It leads them to think about you and your site with a new insight. If your passion for them is like ours, then we will be back for more.",

        "raw_content": "Fox Host Bob Beckel's Increasingly Islamophobic Rhetoric\nBlog \u203a\u203a\u203a July 11, 2013 6:12 AM EDT \u203a\u203a\u203a EMILY ARROWOOD\nAfter declaring that no more mosques should be built in the United States until it works out \"who is not a terrorist,\" Fox News host Bob Beckel walked back his comments the following day. Yet he has failed to apologize for Islamophobic statements he has made in the past.\nBeckel, a co-host on Fox's The Five, used reports of a tragic school massacre in Nigeria to criticize all Muslims on the July 9 edition of the program, ranting: \"If it were up to me, I would not have another mosque built in this country until we got it worked out who is not a terrorist.\" The next day, Beckel attempted to walk back his remarks, explaining, \"I think I overstated my case.\"\nBut Beckel has increasingly held all Muslims accountable for the brutality of a few without expressing regret.\nIn May, after a horrific beheading by a Muslim immigrant in London, the Fox host claimed the attack was a direct result of Britain's immigration policies with Islamic countries, saying it \"is a product of the British allowing Muslims to come into their country.\" He added: \"We better take a hard look at our immigration policy and the people we are allowing in here if they're going to come in here and preach hatred to us.\"\nBeckel later wondered if the London attack and riots in a Muslim immigrant community in Sweden raised questions about the entire Muslim religion. He told his co-hosts on May 24, after Kimberly Guilfoyle criticized liberal immigration policies:\nBECKEL: It's not about liberal policies it's about Muslims ... I mean that's what we're really talking about here. Who were the rioters in the last four nights? It was mostly young Muslim immigrants, right? Or people who were born -- in London the same thing. This is a part and parcel of a bigger picture having to do with the question of the Muslim religion versus --.\nBeckel left the sentence hanging in the air.\nFollowing the deadly bombing of the Boston marathon in April, Beckel called on the U.S. to suspend all student visas to Muslim countries because \"we know\" that \"in the Muslim communities around the world, they do not like us. They recruit people from poor areas and they turn them into terrorists.\" He went on:\nBECKEL: I think we really have to consider, given the fact so many people hate us, that we're going to have to cut off Muslim students from coming to this country for some period of time, so that we can at least absorb what we've got, look at what we've got and decide whether some of the people here should be sent back home or sent to prison.\nIn 2012, Beckel held all U.S. Muslims accountable for a series of murders in Nigeria, warning:\nBECKEL: I've said this before, I'll say it again. If you want us to be nice to Muslims in this country, if you want us to treat them with decency, then stop killing our people. Or you're going to pay a price for it. A big price.\nSo while it's laudable that Beckel chose to clarify his most recent Islamophobic remark, he still has many more explanations to make.\nMedia Matters intern Charlie Rafkin contributed to this report.",

Baltimore County Police\nBaltimore County police officer Jason Schneider, 36, was shot and killed this past Wednesday while carrying out a search warrant in Catonsville, The Baltimore Sun reported. The search warrant was in connection with a series of shootings that had occurred in the Baltimore neighborhood over the past week.\n\"Officer Schneider was killed in the line of duty, and we deeply mourn his loss,\" County Executive Kevin Kamenetz told The Baltimore Sun. \"I can only tell you that we don't always appreciate what our police do for us every day, but it's times like this when we know how grateful we are for their bravery and their sacrifice.\u201d\nSchneider, who Police Chief James W. Johnson said usually leads the department\u2019s tactical unit on missions like this, turned the corner while searching the house and came under fire. After having been struck by multiple gun shots, the 13-year veteran returned fire, hitting suspected shooter Tevon Smith, 25, before collapsing.\nA preliminary investigation revealed Schneider\u2019s vest stopped several rounds; however, one fatal shot managed to reach his back. Schneider and Smith were taken to Maryland Shock Trauma Center where both would eventually succumb to their injuries.\n\u201cThis is particularly hard,\u201d Johnson explained to reporters while holding back tears. \u201dHe was a great guy. Can you imagine what he did in 10 years of tactical?\u201d\nSchneider, a former marine and son of a retired Baltimore police officer, is survived by his wife and two kids. Gov. Martin O\u2019Malley ordered the Maryland flag to be flown at half-staff in remembrance of the service that Schneider provided to the city of Baltimore.",

        "raw_content": "home/migraine center/ migraine a-z list/ migraines tied to higher heart trouble risk article\nMigraines Tied to Higher Heart Trouble Risk\nLatest Migraine News\nMigraine Silver Lining Lowered Risk for Diabetes\nFDA Approves Third of New Migraine Drugs\nFDA Approves 2nd Migraine Prevention Drug\nWEDNESDAY, Jan. 31, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- Migraine sufferers might have to worry about more than just dealing with debilitating headaches.\nMigraine patients could also face an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, blood clots and irregular heart rates, a new study suggests.\nThe risk to heart health appears to be strongest in the first year after diagnosis of migraine, but persists for as long as two decades, said lead researcher Dr. Kasper Adelborg. He is a postdoctoral fellow of clinical epidemiology at the Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark.\n\"Accumulating evidence supports that migraine should be considered as an important risk factor for most cardiovascular diseases in both men and women,\" Adelborg said.\nMigraine affects about 15 percent of people, mainly women, and was the second leading cause of years lost to disability in 2016, according to background information provided by the researchers.\nFor the study, Adelborg and his colleagues gathered records from patients treated at Danish hospitals and hospital outpatient clinics between 1995 and 2013. The investigators wound up with just over 51,000 migraine patients and slightly more than 510,300 non-migraine patients matched for comparison.\nThe findings showed that migraine patients more frequently suffered a host of heart- and blood vessel-related health problems, though a cause-and-effect relationship wasn't proven.\nAccording to the researchers, for every 1,000 people:\n25 migraine patients had a heart attack, compared with 17 migraine-free people.\n45 migraine sufferers had a blood clot-related stroke versus 25 without the headache disorder.\n27 migraine patients developed life-threatening blood clots in their veins, compared with 18 people without migraines.\n47 people with migraine developed an irregular heartbeat, versus 34 migraine-free people.\nMigraine remained linked to these heart problems even after researchers took into account other risk factors, such as excess weight or smoking.\nThe findings were published online Jan. 31 in the BMJ.\nIn an editorial that accompanied the study, Dr. Tobias Kurth, an adjunct professor of epidemiology with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and colleagues wrote: \"We now have plenty of evidence that migraine should be taken seriously as a strong cardiovascular risk marker.\"\nDespite these observations, the absolute risk for all heart-related health problems remained low. That was expected, the researchers noted, given that the patients evaluated in this study were relatively young, with an average age of 35.\nThat means that an individual's risk of heart attack or stroke won't necessarily increase drastically if they suffer migraines.\nHowever, Adelborg said, in the broad scheme of things, the increased risk from migraines must be taken seriously.\n\"Although the absolute risks of cardiovascular diseases were low at the individual level, it translates into a substantial increase in risk at the population level, because migraine is a very common disease,\" he explained.\nThe researchers cannot say with certainty why migraines might pose a potential threat to heart health, but they have some theories.\nFor example, cerebral arteries sometimes suddenly constrict during a migraine, which could increase stroke risk, Adelborg said. People suffering from a migraine also often lie down for long periods of time, which can make blood clots more likely.\nMayo Clinic cardiologist Dr. Gerald Fletcher suspects migraines and heart problems both have at least one serious risk factor in common.\n\"I think probably the common thing is high blood pressure,\" Fletcher said. \"It is related in that respect.\"\nMigraine patients who want to reduce their stroke risk should consider taking steps to lower their blood pressure, including exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet, Fletcher suggested.\nDoctors could also consider revising migraine treatment guidelines, which now do not recommend use of aspirin or other blood-thinning drugs to help prevent migraines, Adelborg added.\n\"Future studies should address whether [migraine] patients at particularly high risk of cardiovascular diseases would benefit from anticoagulant treatment,\" Adelborg said.\nSOURCES: Kasper Adelborg, M.D., postdoctoral fellow, clinical epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark; Gerald Fletcher, M.D., cardiologist, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn.; Jan. 31, 2018, BMJ, online",

There is no doubt that it [circumcision] does confer health benefits and there is no doubt it can be performed safely, with a less than 1 percent risk of complications,\" Dr. Susan Blank, chair of the task force that authored the AAP policy statement, said Tuesday. \"This is one thing a parent can do to protect the future health of their children.\"\n\"The push from the academy's point of view is to really have providers lay out for parents what are the risks, what are the benefits, and give the parents the information they need to make a decision,\" Blank said. \"And the academy feels strongly that since there are proven health benefits, the procedure should be covered by insurance.\"\n\"There are certainly groups that are troubled by circumcision of an individual who is not in a position to provide their own consent,\" Blank said.\nTo learn more about circumcision, visit the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.",

Horowitz is currently writing the next official James Bond/007 thriller.\nIn true Conan Doyle tradition, he hides all the clues skillfully in plain sight in Moriarty, but readers will sail right past them until a shocking twist forces them to replay the entire sequence of events in their heads.\nBut there\u2019s more to Moriarty than just ingenious puzzle plotting. Horowitz also does a masterful job re-creating Holmes\u2019 London. And he has given us wonderfully rich characters in Jones, Jones\u2019 wife, Elspeth (who worries that Athelney is in over his head), and Chase (there\u2019s more to him than he lets on).\nReaders don\u2019t have to have read all the Conan Doyle works to enjoy Moriarty. But familiarity with the canon \u2014 particularly The Sign of Four, The Red-Headed League (in which Holmes stymied a bank robbery), The Final Problem (in which Holmes and Moriarty fought) and The Empty House (in which Holmes explains how and why he faked his death) \u2014 wouldn\u2019t hurt.\nHere\u2019s hoping that Horowitz has another Holmesian story just as devious for us in the future.\nDavid Martindale reviewed this book for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.",

        "raw_content": "Nai Kids Choir turned down invitation to perform in Washington amid concern children would be turned away at US-Canada border\nNai Kids Choir was formed in early 2016 shortly after Syrian refugees started arriving to Canada (Irene Barton/Courtesy of Nai Kids Choir)\nMONTREAL, Canada - A Canadian choir composed of Syrian refugee children will not perform at an event in Washington, DC, later this week because organisers and parents feared the kids would be turned away at the US-Canada border.\nThe Toronto-based Nai Kids Choir, composed of about 60 Syrian refugee children who have been resettled in Canada, was invited to participate in the Serenade! Choral Festival last autumn.\nHowever, Fei Tang, the choir\u2019s founder and general manager, said her initial excitement quickly \u201cwas clouded by what was happening in the US\u201d under the Donald Trump administration.\nSince taking office, the US president has repeatedly used racist and incendiary language to describe refugees and asylum seekers, and last year he imposed a travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries, including Syria.\nCommonly referred to as a Muslim ban, the US Supreme Court upheld the legality of that decision on Tuesday.\nI can\u2019t imagine that we could go if one of them got turned away at the border\n- Fei Tang, Nai Kids Choir founder\nAfter receiving the invitation, Tang consulted several people, including other Canadian performers who have tried to travel to the US as part of a musical group and had \u201cterrible experiences\u201d at the border.\nDespite being born in Canada, some of those groups\u2019 members were detained by US border officials \u201cbecause of their Middle Eastern origin and also their Arabic last names and their skin colour or for whatever reason,\u201d Tang told Middle East Eye.\nShe said several of the parents with children in the choir also told her that their previous US visa applications to visit relatives there were rejected, raising the possibility that some would be turned away.\nIn that light, the decision to cancel the trip was about \u201cequality and fairness,\u201d Tang said.\n\u201cI can\u2019t imagine that we could go if one of them got turned away at the border.\u201d\n'A feeling of community'\nThe choir was formed in early 2016, only a few months after the first planes carrying Syrian refugees began landing in Canada for resettlement. To date, tens of thousands of Syrians have been resettled in Canada as permanent residents.\nAt the time, however, many families were being put up in hotels in the Toronto area, and Tang, who works with a local resettlement agency, was looking for activities to keep the children busy \u2013 and help them integrate into their new community.\n\u201cChoir plays a big role in my life and my children\u2019s education. As a choir mom, I thought, \u2018this is probably the most accessible way for children to regain fun \u2013 through music,\u2019\u201d she told MEE.\n\u201cMusic and singing together is always very helpful and significant in creating a feeling of community and sense of belonging, especially when they are very new and have been through a lot on their journey to Canada.\u201d\nSince then, more than 200 children have been involved with the choir, including some from other countries such as Libya, Tunisia, Sudan, Yemen and Ethiopia, Tang explained.\nToday, it is composed of about 60 children, all of whom are originally from Syria, between the ages of five and 15.\nThey sing in French and English \u2013 Canada\u2019s two official languages \u2013 as well as in Arabic, and their repertoire includes songs from Syria, the wider Levant region and Canada.\nConcert going ahead in Toronto\nThe choir is not the only Canadian organisation to cancel a trip to the US since Trump took office last year.\nIn March, the Toronto District School Board, the country\u2019s largest school district, announced it would cancel all trips to the US over the \u201cuncertainty\u201d created by Trump\u2019s travel ban.\nNow upheld by the Supreme Court, the \"Muslim ban\" prohibits most travel into the US for citizens of Syria, Iran, Yemen, Libya and Somalia. It also includes more limited restrictions on some travel from North Korea and Venezuela.\nThe ban has been difficult for the Syrian families involved with the Nai choir, Tang said, since it makes it difficult for them to visit their friends and family in the US.\nStill, she said the show must go on.\nOn Sunday, the children will perform at the Aga Khan Museum of Islamic art in Toronto alongside Syrian-American rapper Mona Haydar and Jawa Band, a local group also composed entirely of Syrian newcomers.\nThe children will sing the world premier of a new piece composed by Hussein Janmohamed. The song, Rise Children, Let\u2019s Rise to Peace, includes lyrics in English, French, Arabic and Farsi.\nA pre-recorded version of the choir performing that song will be projected on a screen at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts during the Serenade! event they were originally invited to attend in Washington.\n\u201cWe told the children, \u2018Mr. Trump may not want us to be there in person, but nothing can stop our voices [from being] heard,\u2019\u201d Tang said.\n\u201cWe\u2019re not a political choir, but \u2026 we wanted our voice of peace, unity and hope to be heard by our neighbour south of the border and all over the world,\u201d she continued.\n\u201cWe are sending our love through our songs.\u201d\nNorth America 2026: World Cup and Trump's Muslim ban",

Memphis Wins First National Title\nAlex Mejia Named MVP of Game After Five Hit Performance\nBy Memphis Redbirds | September 18, 2018 11:00 PM\nCOLUMBUS, Ohio - The Memphis Redbirds stormed out to an early lead in the Gildan Triple-A National Championship Game and never looked back, capturing their first Triple-A Championship. The Redbirds topped the International League Champion Durham Bulls by a score of 14-4 in the game. Including playoff games, Memphis has won 187 games in the last two seasons.\nAll but two of the Memphis starters recorded a hit in the game, and five of them recorded multiple hits. Alex Mejia led the way for Memphis, going 5-for-5 with a double, five RBI, and three runs scored. For his efforts, he was named MVP of the game. Outfielder Lane Thomas also had himself a night at the plate. He went 3-for-5 with a triple, a home run, five RBI, and two runs scored.\nRangel Ravelo (2-for-4, 3R), Randy Arozarena (3-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 R), and Andrew Knizner (2-for-5) also collected multiple hits in the game. Memphis pounded out 17 hits, compared to nine for Durham. Memphis went 8-for-16 with runners in scoring position and left just six men on base.\nKevin Herget dominated on the mound for the Redbirds in his third start of the postseason. He earned the win, throwing 5.1 innings of two-run ball. He did not walk a man, and struck out four Durham batters. Five Memphis relievers combined to finish off the Bulls. Tommy Layne, Edward Mujica, Genesis Cabrera, Chris Ellis, and Giovanny Gallegos combined to throw the final 3.2 innings, allowing two runs.\nWith the win, Memphis secured its first National Championship in four tries. They dropped the 2000 Triple-A World Series three games to one, and fell to Durham in the winner-take-all game in 2009 and 2017. The 'Birds got their revenge tonight, marching their way to the title despite wild roster turnover.\nA total of 66 different players appeared on the Memphis roster this season, a franchise record. Six of the players were promoted from Memphis to make their Major League debuts, while 18 total players were promoted to St. Louis at some point in the season. 22 of the players who appeared on the roster this season were making their Triple-A debuts. Only three active players from last year's runner-up team were on the roster for this playoff run.\nThe Redbirds went 83-57 in the regular-season after going 91-50 in 2017. Their 174 wins between the last two regular seasons are the most for a Memphis pro team since winning 174 games in 1933-34.\nThe 2018 Triple-A National Champion Memphis Redbirds will return to action on March 25, 2019 in an exhibition game against the St. Louis Cardinals at AutoZone Park. \"The Battle of the Birds\" will kick off the start of the 20th season of baseball at the ballpark.",

And while it features a longer-lasting and washable chem-bio protective garment, multi-purpose overboots and gloves that have been extensively tested for protection, it's also heavy, bulky and hot, with disjointed seams restricting a service member's range of motion.\n\"We are seeking innovative ideas for solutions that will increase mobility, dexterity and tactility, allowing the Warfighter to complete all relevant tasks (including running, climbing, etc.) in a fast and comfortable manner,\" it states.\nIt'll be interesting to see whether companies like chemical giant DuPont, which makes chemical protection suits for first responders and military members, responds with novel designs.",

He apparently co-wrote the master piece: Navy SEALs with Charlie Sheen\nTARGET GERONIMO, IT'S A FAKE.\nWe have a saying in the SEAL Teams about the 90-10 rule. It goes: 90% of the guys that make it through Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training are solid Operators and go on to do great things. The other 10% are constantly bringing the community and their team down.\nWe are always trying to cull the 10% out of the herd. In the military these guys are commonly referred to as \"strap hangers\". You make up your own mind, but after talking to friends in the SEAL community that are still on active duty (and the SOCOM Press Release) Chuck Pfarrer (author of SEAL Target Geronimo) is clearly falling into the 10% category in my opinion. His clenched fists are grabbing at the straps of the good men that participated in this operation.\nIt makes me sick to my stomach that this guy (FYI-anyone that co-wrote that lame Charlie Sheen screen play for Navy SEALs should be shot on sight) is lying. Why didn't he just publish this as a work of fiction? It would have sold just as many copies. Even worse is that this news will surely drive his sales into the hundreds of thousands, if not millions of copies sold. Also, the conspiracy freaks will be sure to latch onto this literary piece of garbage and argue for its existence into oblivion.\nReported from Military.com\nMy friends at Dev have been professional and tight-lipped about this operation. Most of the time you hear a little gouge from the inner circle, something, but this op was different. None of the guys talked about this. As Marcinko would say: \"Doom on you Pfarrer\".

        "raw_content": "Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates named National League Player of the Week\nAndrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates has been named National League Player of the Week for the week of August 3rd-9th. The announcement was made earlier today on MLB Network.\nMcCutchen led qualifying Major League hitters with a .563 batting average, a 1.063 slugging percentage, and a .652 on-base percentage last week, while tying for fifth with eight RBI. The five-time NL All-Star had seven runs scored for the week, which was tied for second among NL hitters. McCutchen homered and drove in four during Sunday night's series finale with the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. The 28-year-old slugger's two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth inning helped the Pirates scratch their way back into the contest after falling behind, 5-1, early in the game. McCutchen also added a two-run single during Pittsburgh's nine-run outburst in the seventh inning of the eventual 13-6 victory. It was McCutchen's third consecutive multi-hit game after going 3-for-3 and 2-for-3 in both Saturday and Friday's matchups at PNC Park, respectively. Saturday's performance included his 1,100th career base-hit as he became the 29th player in team history to reach the threshold. McCutchen currently ranks fifth in the NL with a .398 on-base percentage on the season. This is his sixth career weekly award, having won most recently for the week ending May 24th of this year.\nOther noteworthy performances last week included Matt Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals (.348, 7 R, 4 HR, 8 RBI, 1.000 SLG, .423 OBP); Milwaukee's Khris Davis (.320, 5 R, 8 H, 4 HR, 12 RBI, .840 SLG); Atlanta's Nick Markakis (.406, 13 H, 9 RBI, .394 OBP); Chicago Cubs rookie Kyle Schwarber (.368, 8 R, 7 H, 2 HR, 8 RBI, .789 SLG) and Jake Arrieta (2-0, 0.00 ERA, 11 SO, 14.2 IP); and Washington's Ryan Zimmerm.an (.429, 9 H, 3 HR, 9 RBI, 1.000 SLG).\nIn recognition of his National League Player of the Week Award, Andrew McCutchen will be awarded a watch courtesy of Game Time, the leader in licensed sports watches, available at MLB.com.",

In addition to serving anyone self-employed -- from real estate agents to artisans, plumbers and truck drivers -- Stride partners with marketplaces and on-demand services including Care.com, DoorDash, Etsy, Instacart, Postmates, TaskRabbit and Uber, to support workforces with easy access to benefits.\nThose benefits include health, vision and dental, along with tax deduction support.\n\u201cAs individuals transition away from traditional 9-to-5 employment, we\u2019re removing the barriers to affordable, accessible benefits to allow individuals to work how and when they want, without worrying about basic financial security,\u201d said Noah Lang, co-founder and CEO of Stride Health, in a statement. \u201cWe founded Stride so that self-employed Americans don\u2019t have to go it alone. We have already provided hundreds of thousands of independent workers with the benefits guidance they need to build a business-of-one. I\u2019m excited to partner with F-Prime which brings a rich history in health and financial services to deliver Stride\u2019s ever-expanding benefits to more of America\u2019s 68 million independent workers.\u201d\nAccording to the McKinsey Global Institute, independent workers constitute up to 30 percent of the working age population. Stride Health\u2019s mission is to build a personal set of benefits tailored to their needs. In addition to a personalized health plan, the company helps workers predict out-of-pocket healthcare costs, lower the cost of prescription drugs and navigate complex insurance claims.\nAnd its members also benefit from tax support through Stride Drive which, last tax season, identified more than $800 million in expense deductions for its members, enabling them to keep 21 percent more of their earnings. Members also rely on access to free experts to answer any questions pertaining to benefits.\n\u201cFor the growing population of independent workers, Stride Health is meeting a critical need -- providing simple and affordable access to healthcare and financial resources that improves their lives,\u201d said Ben Malka, partner with F-Prime Capital, in a statement.\n\u201cAs the global workforce continues to prioritize flexibility, Stride Health provides the needed tools to transition these workers to not only secure their physical well-being but improve their financial literacy and wellness,\u201d said Malka, who joins Venrock\u2019s Bryan Roberts on Stride Health\u2019s board of directors. \u201cWe believe that Stride will help people choose to be independent.\u201d\nprovider, benefits, health insurance",

City Council gets an earful on paid sick leave proposal\nBusiness Tim Nelson \u00b7\tMinneapolis \u00b7\t May 19, 2016\nRod Adams, a worker's rights organizer with Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, speaks at a rally Wednesday on the steps of Minneapolis City Hall before a public hearing on an ordinance that could mandate paid sick time for many workers in the city. Tim Nelson | MPR News\nMinneapolis City Council members heard from the public Wednesday on the city's proposal to mandate paid time off for what could be tens of thousands of workers across the city.\nA push for a $15 an hour minimum wage in Minneapolis faltered in 2014, and a plan to mandate predictable scheduling failed last year.\n\u2022 Previously: Minneapolis City Council weighs new mandatory sick leave policy\nThe current leave proposal would require paid sick leave for anyone who employs six or more people in the city.\nDave Amundson has been running TreHus Builders in south Minneapolis for 34 years and has 21 people working for the company.\nHe told the council about the difficulty of complying with regulations, providing health care and benefits. Amundson said he tries to do the right thing by his employees, instead of relying on independent subcontractors, like many of his competitors.\n\"With laws like this and others coming I'm sure, I will become more expensive, and they will not, \"Amundson said. \"Therefore, I have fewer opportunities for work, and the fewer opportunities I have for work, the fewer opportunities I can give to people to be employed. And that's just the way the world works.\"\nA string of other business owners and managers followed, saying that they can't recoup the costs from fixed health care reimbursement rates, that they already pass a heavy tax burden onto their customers, and that a mobile, temporary work force may be all but impossible to regulate by city ordinance. Others pleaded that their employees earn most of their pay as tips, and paid leave won't cover that loss anyway.\nBut both inside the council chambers and at a rally before the hearing, workers who don't have sick pay called for action. They said low-wage workers need to be able to take care of their sick kids and themselves, and still be able to pay their bills.\nTyrone Spencer, of Minneapolis, told the crowd outside that he recently got sick and told his boss at an Arby's restaurant that he had to go to the hospital.\n\"When I came back, he was doing everything he can do to get back at me,\" Spencer said. \"I went full time to part time that quick. I had to leave, check myself out of there, because I couldn't work in that environment.\"\nFaith leaders are scheduled to endorse the plan for paid sick leave Thursday at City Hall.\nThe City Council plans to discuss the matter and make any changes to the proposal next week and take final action on the proposed ordinance May 27. The law would take effect in the summer of 2017.\nPrevious The St. Louis River comes back to life -- sort of 3 years ago Next Dayton takes aim at GOP transportation plan, optimistic on tax, bonding bills 3 years ago",

We both know that every event requires proper planning to ensure everything works out as it should. One of the most important aspects when planning for an event in Naperville is the budget.

On the other hand, you\u2019ll come across companies that charge extremely low rates for a typical gig.\nNow, it\u2019s important to note that most of those companies offering their services at extremely low rates might not provide you with high-quality services.

        "raw_content": "On 1 July the Ensor and Spilliaert Wing will have a counterpart: the Raoul Servais Wing is opening then. In 2018 the Ostend-born film director Raoul Servais will be 90. This is being celebrated with a lot of activities in Ostend, a few publications and, last but not least, the opening of a room at Mu.ZEE that is permanently devoted to his oeuvre.\nRaoul Servais (born 1 May 1928, Ostend) is a renowned animation filmmaker. In the early 1950s he studied applied arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent (KASK). Servais painted and drew, and was very active in graphics too, but from the beginning his heart was always in animation films. The artist had neither experience nor financial means, but his curiosity and drive were enormous. In 1960 he was able to start work as a teacher at KASK, where he developed the first animated film course in Europe. In total, he made sixteen animated films. Between Havenlicht (Harbour Light, 1960) and Tank (2015) there is a gigantic evolution in style and technique. With each new film production, you feel his curiosity for new and hitherto unknown ways of creating imagery and atmosphere. Raoul Servais has won many international film prizes, such as the Palme d\u2019Or in Cannes (Operation X-70, 1971 & Harpya, 1979) and the Primo Premio in Venice (Chromophobia, 1966).\nServais\u2019s love of animation is a shared love. As of summer 2018, it can be enjoyed on a permanent basis in the Raoul Servais Wing of Mu.ZEE. A large selection of original documents, (cellophane) drawings and films will have a permanent place there. This wing of the museum is not intended to be the end destination for the rich oeuvre of this star of the film industry, but a new start, an inspiring place for young filmmakers.",

It\u2019s normal to get upset or sad during upsetting times, but if you feel that your friend isn\u2019t responding normally it might mean that there\u2019s something more serious going on. Here are some signs to look from your friend.\nWithdrawing from social activities or appearing down for more than 2 weeks. This could mean crying regularly, feeling tired all the time or not wanting to hang out anymore.\nSelf-harming actions such as cutting or burning. Some people may begin to wear long sleeves or pants to cover up signs that they are doing this.\nThreatening to kill his- or herself or making plans to do so. Although you may not know whether your friend is serious or not, it\u2019s better to be safe and take things seriously.\nExtreme out-of-control, risk-taking behaviors. Behaviors that can endanger his- or her own life as well as others, such as speeding excessively and not obeying traffic laws, might be a sign that something is wrong.\nSudden overwhelming fear for no reason, including intense worries or fears that get in the way of daily activities like hanging out with friends.\nNot eating, throwing up or using laxatives to lose weight. Pay attention if your friend isn\u2019t eating much at lunch or going to the bathroom right after meals.\nSevere mood swings. Life is stressful, but if there seem to be outbursts that go beyond how other people would often act, it might mean something more serious.\nRepeated use of drugs or alcohol. Coming to class hung over, showing up to sporting events intoxicated or wanting to bring drugs or alcohol into daily activities is not normal.\nDrastic changes in behavior, personality or sleeping habits. Your friend might be sleeping much more or much less or get agitated more frequently.\nExtreme difficulty in concentrating or staying still.\nShare your observations with your friend. Focus on being nonjudgmental, compassionate and understanding. Use these \u201cI\u201d (instead of \u201cyou\u201d) comments to get the conversation started.\nI\u2019ve noticed you\u2019re [sleeping more, eating less, etc.]. Is everything okay?\nI've noticed that you haven't been acting like yourself lately. Is something going on?\nIt makes me afraid to hear you talking like this. Let\u2019s talk to someone about it.\nIf a friend is in need, you don\u2019t need to go at it alone. Involve others who can provide added support. Try to find someone who might be understanding of your friend\u2019s situation or be able to help. Your friend may feel cornered if you start involving others, so make sure to talk to your friend first. However, if it\u2019s an emergency, you should call 911 and get an authority figure. Here are some people you may consider reaching out to:\nSchool teachers or counselors\nFaith-based leaders\nKeep in mind that your friend might not be ready to talk about what they\u2019re going through or simply may not want your help right now. You cannot force someone to get help, so just do your best to be there with your friend through their journey and be ready if and when they do finally reach out. It may be helpful to offer specific things that might help, such as:\nHow can I best support you right now? Is there something I can do or can we involve others who can help?\nCan I help you find mental health services and supports? Can I help you make an appointment?\nCan I help you with the stuff you need to get done until you\u2019re feeling better?\nWould you like me to go with you to a support group or a meeting? Do you need a ride to any of your appointments?\nYou can play an important role in helping a friend build a positive, social support network. Here are ways to do that:\nCheck-in regularly. Call or text your friend once or twice a week. Check in with them after their therapy appointments to see how things went. Let them know that you are there.\nInclude your friend in your plans. Even if your friend doesn\u2019t always come, they will probably appreciate being included.\nLearn more about mental health conditions. Find out more about what your friend is going through so you are better able to help in future situations.\nAvoid using judgmental or dismissive language, such as \u201cyou\u2019ll get over it,\u201d \u201ctoughen up,\u201d \u201csnap out of it.\u201d Your friend needs to hear that they are not alone and that they can get through this. Reassure them that everything will be okay and that you are there for them.\nBeing a friend means being there in easy times and more difficult times. If your friend is experiencing a mental health condition, this is a time when he or she needs you the most. And sometimes just talking about it might help your friend feel less alone and more understood. You can be the difference in helping a friend who needs support but is too afraid to seek help. Just a simple conversation can go a long way in helping your friend. You can make a huge difference in someone\u2019s life.\nFriendship and Mental Health",

A new report from GW, Changing pO2licy: The Elements for Improving Childhood Asthma Outcomes, found that asthma adds about 50 cents to every health care dollar spent on children with asthma compared to children without asthma. Those most at risk -- low income, medically underserved, and African-American and Hispanic children -- have the least access to preventive care and the most visits to the ER.

But California researchers found that parents typically do not notice the decline in their child's behavior until well into his or her second year. The study, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, is among the first to glean the pattern of autism's emergence in very young children by following babies from the age of 6 months. At that age, babies who would go on to be diagnosed as autistic and babies who would develop typically showed no significant differences in social behaviors, including smiling, making eye contact and vocalizing responsively.

Districts stretching across Naperville, Carpentersville and Rockford have posted signs outside their schools announcing how much the state owes them. Elgin, home to the state's second-largest school district, was dotted last week with school signs declaring: \"The state owes U-46 $12.4 million.'' \"We've updated them twice so far,'' said U-46 spokesman Tony Sanders. \"It helps the public to see why we have some of the financial problems we have.''

But, according to George Georgiou, a University of Alberta professor in educational psychology, it is instrumental for English-speaking children if they are to acquire the language skills, particularly comprehension, essential to their future reading ability. Georgiou and his colleagues recently published a study in Learning and Instruction examining the cognitive and non-cognitive factors that may predict future reading ability in English and Greek. Since the study was published, Georgiou has expanded his research to Finland and China, with the same outcomes.

Senator Janet Howell (D- Fairfax) sponsored SB464 which would have expanded the availability of early intervention treatments that can lead to improved outcomes for children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. The bill was defeated this afternoon by a voice vote in a sub-committee of the House Commerce and Labor committee. \"This bill was a small step, but an important step in providing desperately needed services,\" said Sen. Howell. \"This was a very limited bill crafted specifically to minimize impact on insurance premiums. I am very disappointed that so many children and families are going to have to wait another year for the treatment they need and deserve.\" SB464 passed the Senate of Virginia with bipartisan support despite opposition from business and insurance lobbies. Many of those same special interest groups testified in opposition to the bill at today's hearing. Senator Howell's bill would have required insurance companies in Virginia to cover the diagnosis and treatment of autistic children between two and six years of age when treatment has been shown to be most effective.

National research shows that about 70 percent of all adults with disabilities are unemployed. That often translates to a greater reliance on public benefits and significant isolation from the world of work, taxes, elections, shopping malls and everything else that constitutes full participation in Pennsylvania community life. Ensuring a quality education for all children in all public schools in Pennsylvania is the first step in preventing this unfortunate outcome. Each school district must have the resources to offer effective education and special supports for students with disabilities. Adequate funding is important and it must be spent on strategies with a track record of helping children succeed.

But in the two years since the Education Department began an intensive effort to root out such teachers from the more than 55,000 who have tenure, officials have managed to fire only three for incompetence. Ten others whom the department charged with incompetence settled their cases by resigning or retiring, and nine agreed to pay fines of a few thousand dollars or take classes, or both, so they could keep their jobs. One teacher lost his job before his case was decided, after the department called immigration officials and his visa was revoked. The cases of more than 50 others are awaiting arbitration.

Though traditionally out of reach for faith-based schools given the high cost of providing special education services, determined parents are fund-raising and getting grants to develop programs at Catholic schools across the country. In fact, the number of Catholic elementary schools with a resource teacher to assist students with special needs grew from 28 to 42 percent between the 2001-2002 school year and 2008-2009. The programs vary, but at one Virginia school, students have small, separated classes for their core academics and then join with other students for electives and extra curricular activities.

Sometimes Furious Crowd\nFrom the occasional applause, you might say most of the people gathered at Sunrise Elementary to hear a presentation on a four-day week schedule last week were against the concept. Yet, every so often someone would find a positive about the idea. The attendance nearly overwhelmed Superintendent Dr. Deb Henton who remarked that the crowd was probably the largest she has seen for a meeting since she started over three years ago. Quickly, Dr. Henton moved into a presentation of the four-day schedule from information she has researched and gathered in the past year. She began by explaining why NB schools are exploring a four-day week? Primarily, it is because the district continues to face financial challenges that are compounded by a poor economy, declining enrollment, flat, or possibly reduced state funding and the failure of last fall's operating levy.

It comes from their recent Fall 2013 publication in the peer reviewed journal, The Journal of the American Academy of Special Education Professionals. Their study was an investigation of general education teachers' knowledge and attitudes regarding students with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). Of interest were (a) the extent of teachers' knowledge about characteristics of AD/HD; (b) the extent of teachers' knowledge of teacher skills appropriate for educating students with AD/HD; and (c) the extent of teachers' willingness to accommodate students with AD/HD. There was an initial assessment of teachers' knowledge and attitudes (pretest) followed by a workshop designed to increase teachers' knowledge and improve their attitudes. An additional assessment of their knowledge and attitudes (posttest) was then administered. Results and implications for future research are discussed within this article.\nSpecial Education Transition Planning\nBy Anji Reddy Nlamalapu\nThe Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that guarantees all children with disabilities access to a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). IDEA tells what schools must do to enable students with disabilities to be successful in academics and make plans for smooth transition from academic life to real life. This is the reason the law mandates schools to write an Individualized Education Programs (IEP) for all students with special needs who attend K-12 schools. This issue of NASET's Q & A Corner was written by Anji Reddy Nlamalapu. It focuses on questions and answers related to special education transition planning. At the end of this issue, there are various forms related to the topic at hand.\nSlower Brain Connections May Be at Root of Dyslexia\nGlitches in the connections between certain brain areas may be at the root of the common learning disorder dyslexia, a new study suggests. It's estimated that up to 15 percent of the U.S. population has dyslexia, which impairs people's ability to read. While it has long been considered a brain-based disorder, scientists have not understood exactly what the issue is. The new findings, reported in the Dec. 6 issue of Science, suggest the blame lies in faulty connections between the brain's storage space for speech sounds and the brain regions that process language. The results were surprising, said lead researcher Bart Boets, because his team expected to find a different problem. For more than 40 years, he said, many scientists have thought that dyslexia involves defects in the brain's \"phonetic representations\" -- which refers to how the basic sounds of your native language are categorized in the brain.

Researchers found that less than 20 percent of the prescribed medication actually makes it into the lungs. \"Our study demonstrated that the prescribed dose bears little resemblance to the proportion of the drug children actually inhaled, and that [the amount they inhaled] was largely dependent on the formulation of the drug,\" said Dr. Ahmad Kantar, head of the pediatric unit at the Institute Hospital Bergamo in Ponte San Pietro, Italy. The study results were published online recently in the journal Respirology.

The therapy is called sensory integration. It uses play to help these kids feel more at ease with everything from water hitting the skin in the shower to the sounds of household appliances. For children with autism, those types of stimulation can be overwhelming, limiting them from going out in the world or even mastering basic tasks like eating and getting dressed. \"If you ask parents of children with autism what they want for their kids, they'll say they want them to be happy, to have friends, to be able to participate in everyday activities,\" said study author Roseann Schaaf.

From 1982 to 1987, he laid the foundations for the commission's policy in this field, initially focusing on employment, transport and education. His work culminated in 2010 with the EU's ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and its new task of working to ensure that disability rights became part of the mainstream of EU legislation. Patrick's book Meeting Disability: A European Response (1991) gave a frank and still relevant account of the obstacles to creating new policies both inside the commission and in working with governments. In the early 90s, he provided the first account of special needs education in the new democracies of eastern Europe for a book that I edited. I got to know him more fully when we co-edited a book on teacher education for special needs in Europe.To read more, click here\nWhy Johnny Can't Sleep\nHaving involved parents and feeling connected to school increase the likelihood that a teen will get sufficient sleep, a new study finds. Previous research has suggested that developmental factors, specifically lower levels of the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin, may explain why children get less sleep as they become teenagers. But this study -- published in the December issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior -- found that social ties, including relationships with parents and friends, may have a more significant effect on changing sleep patterns in teens than biology. \"My study found that social ties were more important than biological development as predictors of teen sleep behaviors,\" David Maume, a sociology professor at the University of Cincinnati, said in a news release from the American Sociological Association.

The survey also revealed a wide gap in psychiatric drug use across ethnic and racial groups. Earlier studies have documented a rise in the use of these medications among teens, but they mainly looked at high-risk groups such as children who have been hospitalized for psychiatric problems. The new survey provides a snapshot of the number of adolescents in the general population who took a psychiatric drug in the past month from 2005 to 2010.

Previous research had suggested its use during childbirth might actually increase the risk of ADHD.

UCLA researchers are now reporting some of the first evidence from human studies suggesting that this behavior is rooted in brain adaptations associated with early-life experiences. The findings appear in the Dec. 1 issue of the peer-reviewed journal Biological Psychiatry. The UCLA group used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate that youths who experienced early maternal deprivation -- specifically, time in an institution such as an orphanage prior to being adopted -- show similar responses to their adoptive mother and to strangers in a brain structure called the amygdala; for children never raised in an institutional setting, the amygdala is far more active in response to the adoptive mother.

In a survey of over 1,000 special education teachers, administrators and other professionals across the country, more than 80 percent reported that budget cuts have impacted the delivery of services for kids with disabilities. Just as many said that such cutbacks have left \"too few personnel to meet the needs of students with disabilities\" in their school districts. The findings released Tuesday come from a poll conducted by the Council for Exceptional Children and the National Coalition of Personnel Shortages in Special Education and Related Services on the heels of significant funding declines in public education this year.

Researchers at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) are working to overcome current limits of the technology. They are investigating the implementation of signals in the auditory nerve and the subsequent neuronal processing in the brain. Using the computer models developed at the TUM manufacturers of cochlear implants improve their devices. Intact hearing is a prerequisite for learning to speak. This is why children who are born deaf are fitted with so-called cochlear implants as early as possible. Cochlear implants consist of a speech processor and a transmitter coil worn behind the ear, together with the actual implant, an encapsulated microprocessor placed under the skin to directly stimulate the auditory nerve via an electrode with up to 22 contacts.

In a groundbreaking study, the UC Riverside team discovered that prenatal exposure to alcohol significantly altered the expression of genes and the development of a network of connections in the neocortex -- the part of the brain responsible for high-level thought and cognition, vision, hearing, touch, balance, motor skills, language, and emotion -- in a mouse model of FASD. Prenatal exposure caused wrong areas of the brain to be connected with each other, the researchers found.

But depression among pregnant women may also have an impact on their developing babies. Children of depressed parents are at an increased risk of developing depression themselves, a combination of both genetic and environmental factors. These children also display alterations in the amygdala, a brain structure important for the regulation of emotion and stress. However, prior work in this area has assessed children years after birth, which means that the timing of these alterations has remained unidentified. Researchers led by Dr. Anqi Qiu at the National University of Singapore now have the answers, with their new work published in the current issue of Biological Psychiatry.

The updated guidelines are summarized in Neurosurgery, official journal of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. The journal is published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, a part of Wolters Kluwer Health. The fourth consensus report from the Concussion in Sport Group (CISG 4) represents the latest recommendations from an expert panel, sponsored by five international sports governing bodies. \"The statement now makes clear that no athlete at any age or level of competition should be returned to play on the same day a concussion is diagnosed,\" write Drs. Allen K. Sills, Gary Solomon, and Richard Ellenbogen. Drs. Sills and Ellenbogen were among the experts representing neurosurgery at last year's meeting of the CISG.

Unemployment among people with disabilities dipped to 12.3 percent in November, the U.S. Department of Labor said Friday. That's down from 12.8 percent the prior month. However, the declining unemployment rate came - at least in part - because fewer individuals with disabilities were seeking work. The number of people with disabilities who were considered to be employed actually fell between October and November, the Labor Department said. At the same time, the overall unemployment rate reached 7 percent for the first time in five years as the economy added 203,000 jobs.

This is the result of studies performed by the Laboratoire de Psychologie du D\u00e9veloppement et de l'Education de l'Enfant (CNRS/Universit\u00e9 Paris Descartes/Universit\u00e9 de Caen Basse-Normandie), in collaboration with the NeuroSpin Center (CEA). The scientists showed that an asymmetry of the two brain hemispheres relative to a particular pattern of a cortical region could partly explain the performance of 5-year old children during a task designed to measure cognitive control. According to the research team, and depending on the characteristics of their brains, children may have different pedagogical requirements in terms of learning cognitive control. This work, published online in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience on 30 November 2013, opens new educational perspectives.

He got into shape and started running competitively, entering the 5K in the Sunshine Foundation's Walk and Fun Run in Grand Forks, N.D. in January. After finishing the run, he posted a photo on Facebook. Among those commenting on his photo was someone named Michael Wasserman, a 52-year-old California resident who has Down syndrome and bilateral hip dysplasia.

The method could help doctors and parents make better informed decisions about medication, a new study says. Psychostimulant drugs used to treat ADHD affect levels of the brain chemical dopamine. Because iron is required to process dopamine, using MRI to assess iron levels in the brain may provide a noninvasive, indirect measure of the chemical, explained study author Vitria Adisetiyo, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Medical University of South Carolina. If these findings are confirmed in larger studies, this technique might help improve ADHD diagnosis and treatment, according to Adisetiyo.

Students' cell phones are rarely out of reach whether the setting is a college classroom, library, recreational center, cafeteria or dorm room. As cell phone use continues to increase, it is worth considering whether use of the device is related to measurable outcomes important for student success, such as academic performance, anxiety and happiness. Kent State University researchers Andrew Lepp, Ph.D., Jacob Barkley, Ph.D., and Aryn Karpinski, Ph.D., all faculty members in the university's College of Education, Health and Human Services, surveyed more than 500 university students. Daily cell phone use was recorded along with a clinical measure of anxiety and each student's level of satisfaction with their own life, or in other words happiness. Finally, all participants allowed the researchers to access their official university records in order to retrieve their actual, cumulative college grade point average (GPA). All students surveyed were undergraduate students and were equally distributed by class (freshman, sophomore, junior and senior). In addition, 82 different, self-reported majors were represented.

        "raw_content": "MTV's \"Skins\" Game\nThe network that gave us Snooki now features a teen sex show that may have too much to bare...\nIt's hard to write this without sounding like an ancient prude or an echo of the overheated, we're-in-danger-of-losing-our-mortal-souls! bombast of the often-reactionary Parents Television Council.\nBut let's step back for a moment, take a deep (not heavy) breath and make a humble suggestion to MTV executives: When your hot new show might be in danger of running afoul of child pornography laws, perhaps it\u2019s time for a larger reassessment of your mission.\nThe New York Times reports that MTV has directed the producers of \"Skins,\" the new scripted show portraying teenagers run amok, to tone things down because of fears of breaking federal law. The paper cited a scene in an upcoming episode showing a 17-year-old boy naked from behind as among the concern-raising content.\nThe show, based on the British program of the same name, actually employs age-appropriate actors (the youngest is 15) \u2013 unlike TV's biggest high school-set show, \"Glee,\" where some of the performers are old enough to have graduated medical school.\nWhile \"Glee\" has plenty of hormonally charged raciness, it's couched in camp. \"Skins\" offers a far more stark and explicit portrayal of sex, drugs and lots of other things parents of teens wish didn\u2019t exist. Last week's premiere featured an exhibitionist MILF and a girl with an unfortunate nickname, which \u2013 like some of the dialogue \u2013 isn\u2019t repeatable here.\nWe're willing to accept that elements of the show are realistic, even if \"Skins\" isn't necessarily appropriate viewing for young teens (who, of course, are among the 3.3 million who saw last week's premiere episode and the many others watching online. The Times noted that the program set a debut-show record for viewership in MTV\u2019s prime 12 to 34 demographic).\n\u201cSkins,\u201d though, feels like it belongs on some other network \u2013 say, Cinemax. Unfortunately, the show marks another example of MTV\u2019s growing cynicism toward a youth culture that it once celebrated.\n\"Jersey Shore\" seems to have been just the start of a headfirst dive (or Snooki ball drop) into a programming strategy largely based upon young people acting foolishly. We\u2019ve reached the sad point where the real-life, walking, squawking ethnic stereotypes on \"Jersey Shore\" come off as more cartoonish than the fictional characters of \"Skins.\"\nIt's all too easy for those us who remember MTV's debut nearly 30 years ago to romanticize a past where sexist videos in which guys and gals seemed to be in a big-hair competition ruled the day. But MTV was at least a place that offered the latest music videos, pop culture news and a sense that the real world (and even \u201cThe Real World,\u201d at least in the early years) wasn\u2019t a bleak place.\nWe're not calling for an MTV \"Up With People\" marathon, and aren\u2019t quite ready to declare, like the PTC, that \u201cSkins\u201d is \u201cthe most dangerous program that has ever been foisted on your children!\u201d But using this opportunity to think about where MTV should go from here might be nice, along with a restoration of some balance. Perhaps a little more \"Rock the Vote\"\u2013 and a little less rocking of beach houses.\nThat might be too much to hope for, with Viacom, MTV\u2019s parent company, making big money off nonsense like \u201cJersey Shore,\u201d and, presumably, \u201cSkins.\u201d But as they face concerns over crossing the line into kiddie porn, the MTV suits may soon have to decide whether \"Skins,\" in the long run, is too much to bare.",

It\u2019s divided into four parts: A, B, C and D. Parts A and B are considered Original Medicare, Part C is known as Medicare Advantage and Part D is prescription drug coverage .\nPart A is known as Medicare hospital insurance. Coverage may include inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing care, hospice care and home health care.\nPart B coverage generally includes doctor visits and outpatient services. This includes some doctors\u2019 services, outpatient care, medical supplies and preventive care.\nPart C is required to cover the same levels of benefits under Part A and Part B. Additionally, some plans offer extra benefits, such as dental and vision coverage, wellness programs, prescription drug coverage and hearing care. Part C is offered by private companies that contract with Medicare.\nPart D covers prescription drugs and can be added to Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans.\nIt\u2019s important to remember that you have options and should select a plan that\u2019s best for your situation. A common mistake is picking a plan just because a family member or friend has it. Just because the plan works for them, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s the right one for you.\nYou should also avoid relying on name recognition when picking a plan. There are a lot of great plans out there, including ones you may not be familiar with. Working with a Medicare agent can help you understand what plans are available and how to select the one that\u2019s right for you.\nHere are a few factors to consider when selecting a plan:\nProviders \u2013 Make sure you select a plan that includes access to your doctors\nTravel benefits \u2013 If you spend part of the year in another location or travel a lot, make sure you pick a plan that allows you to see out-of-state providers\nFitness perks \u2013 If exercise is important to you, consider a plan that includes a fitness benefit, such as Silver Sneakers\nIf you have questions about picking a Medicare plan, reach out to your health insurance provider. At Network Health, we\u2019ll work one-on-one with you to help you find the right plan based on your specific needs. We also connect you with a local agent. We want our members to feel comfortable with the plan they select and satisfied with the benefits they receive.",

        "raw_content": "Anand Teltumbde exhibited the rare courage of speaking truth to power. It was his popularity as a teacher and colleague that prompted a usually 'apolitical' campus like IIT Kharagpur to speak out in his support.\nIt is rather difficult to begin when you know that within a few days or weeks, one of your close friends could be behind bars under one of the most draconian laws crafted by this Republic.\nThe world knows him as Anand Teltumbde, but for me he has always been Anand.\nMerely four months ago, we were together in a seminar in Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh) where Anand spoke on one of his key concerns, namely, the divergence between dalit and Left movements.\nLater, in an informal chat, it seemed that he had gotten over the period of tension that followed the way his house in Goa was intruded by the police forces in his absence. It was an action which had received widespread condemnation. What was remarkable was that more than 120 professors, research scholars and students from IIT Kharagpur -- where Anand worked as a professor earlier -- protested this action. This showed his popularity as a teacher and colleague and prompted a usually 'apolitical' campus to speak out in his support.\nAnand told me about his two daughters -- whom I have never met -- and told me how they were doing in their lives. One could easily feel that behind the face of a leading public intellectual, who always exhibited the rare courage of speaking truth to power, there lurked a caring father who loved to share little details of his children\u2019s lives with close friends.\nIt has been exactly after one-and-a-half decade that we met each other for the first time in Mumbai in a seminar organised under the aegis of the Dalit Intellectual Collective (September 20-21, 2003) to brainstorm around the phenomenon of Hindutva in relation to Dalits whose presentations were later brought out by Samya, Kolkata (2005) in a book form (Hindutva and Dalits: Perspectives for Understanding Communal Praxis, edited by Anand Teltumbde)\nAnand was unwell for some time when the book was finally getting ready and requested me to write a joint paper with him on the Gujarat scenario, which I readily agreed to. In fact, it was my write-up titled 'Inverting Dalit Consciousness: Hindutvaising the Dalits, Communalising the Movement' which he had read on the internet that had acted as a catalyst for our friendship -- albeit of a different kind.\nIn the past 15 years, we did not meet other that frequently, but whenever we met, the undercurrent of warmth and mutual respect could always be experienced.\nThere have been occasions when I have tried to understand this relationship. Anand is a leading public intellectual, has moved around world, I am basically a Left activist who also dabbles in writing. What is that connects us? I feel that perhaps his incessant drive to discern what his latest book, The Radical in Ambedkar, (co-edited with Professor Suraj Yengde) seeks to do -- 'unpack the radical in Ambedkar's legacy by examining his life work from hitherto unexplored perspectives' -- that has always attracted me.\nI remember he had called me sometime in 2002 after reading my paper and introduced himself to me. Incidentally, I was not unfamiliar with his name then. My memory fails me right now, but perhaps someone associated with the Ambedkarite movement and impressed with Anand's viewpoint, had given me a photocopy of one of his early books as well, which was published by Sugava Prakashan, Pune, 1997.\nTitled, Ambedkar in and for a Post Ambedkar Dalit Movement , the book had thrilled me then for its novel approach towards the dalit movement. Prof Ram Bapat, a progressive voice in Maharashtra, had written the foreword and had rightly said that author has \"demonstrated tremendous courage in departing from the hero worshipping style of approaching the historical personalities which is so rampant in our country\". It also had noted the \"cultural failure of the Dalits to transcend the boundaries of Sanskritisation, which had resulted in the gross neglect of the issue of gender justice and inequality by Dalit elites\" and searched roots of this predicament in the \"paradox of history whereby the movement of Dalits -- who are the biggest sufferers of the material deprivation -- exhibited utmost disregard for material dimension of life.\"\nThe year 2003 saw another book by him, Myths and Facts: Ambedkar on Muslims (Vikas Adhyayan Kendra, Mumbai) that tried to target the attempts at appropriation of Ambedkar by the Sangh Parivar declaring him not only Pratah Smaraneeya (to be venerated at day break) but a great champion of Hinduism, an anti-Muslim who believed in cultural nationalism.\nI have always wondered how he has been able to manage so many things together.\nAn Executive Director of BPCL and Ex-MD & CEO of Petronet India, Professor in IIT and Institute of Management, popular teacher, democratic rights activist and author of 26 books. Each of Anand\u2019s books is original in content, and trying to address the problem in an unorthodox way.\nKhairlanji: A Strange and Bitter Crop (Navayana, 2008) mainly focusses on the massacre of a Dalit family (September 29, 2006) and its aftermath but in the process 'exposes the gangrenous heart of our society' (Arundhati Roy) and describes how the social, political and state machinery, mass media, judiciary, everyone gangs up first to 'create the climate for such bestiality and then covers it up.\nReturning to the Khairlanji murders, Anand penned The Persistence of Caste: India's Hidden Apartheid and the Khairlanji Murders (Navayana, 2011), which exposes the myth that caste is a feudal relic, saying that this has been well assimilated not only by Capitalist India, but also by Globalising India. It also argues how anti-caste activism itself has reflected and reinforced the worst stereotypes, identifying foes and friends in obsolete terms, and that in post-Independence India, the authority of caste has found a new ally -- the state and its police.\nOr look at B R Ambedkar: India and Communism' (Leftword, 2017) where he brings forth the how Ambedkar planned to write a book 'India and Communism', had produced a table of contents for it and also written some chapters. Anand has written around an 80-page introduction to the book titled 'Bridging the Unholy Rift' with factual details and references basically to challenge all those who think that Ambedkar was opposed to communism or Marxism.\nAnyone who is conversant with the academic world would tell you that the year gone by has proved to be hectic. Apart from heading the Big Data Analytics programme of Goa Institute of Management, where Anand was instrumental in launching a post-graduation course this year, the first of its kind in the country, he was busy finishing two books: Republic of Caste: Thinking Equality in the Time of Neoliberal Hindutva, (Navayana), which received rave reviews by scholars and academics when it appeared, and the other one titled, The Radical in Ambedkar (edited with another Ambedkarite scholar, Suray Yengde, Penguin Random House)\nEverybody knows that once Anand is behind bars, for the jail personnel, all the above facts of his life will be meaningless. The men in khaki would not even understand that thousands of people across the world would eagerly wait for his regular column in one of the most prestigious journals of India, the Economic and Political Weekly. Anand will be just another number to be called out in prison.\nToday, when there is a strong possibility that the lower court may not grant him regular bail (which has happened earlier in the same case), one is reminded of an episode from French history, known as the \u2018Dreyfus Case\u2019\nIt was early 1890s when a young Jewish military officer called Dreyfus was arrested supposedly for \u2018treason\u2019 and was sent to St Helena. The police people had made such a watertight case against the officer that it seemed that everything was lost. But incidentally, the legendary French writer Emile Zola, came to know about his case and wrote a series of articles in the newspapers (titled \u2018J\u2019 accuse meaning \u2018I accuse!\u2019) explaining the Jewish officer\u2019s innocence and the way he was framed by the powers that be. Suddenly, the move to release Dreyfus gained such a momentum that within a short time the government was forced to release him.\nThe question arises, who is ready to yell 'J accuse' today.\nThe writer is a senior journalist based in Delhi. The views are personal.\nambedkarite movement",

        "raw_content": "https://www.newstimes.com/news/article/Scrap-metal-thieves-target-welding-equipment-80480.php\nScrap metal thieves target welding equipment\nThat is, until earlier this month, when his welding shop on Sand Pit Road was hit twice in less than a week.\nThe first time, on Sept. 2, a thief or thieves made off with several thousand dollars worth of copper welding cable. Four days later, they broke into a shed, taking tools and about 15 gallons of gasoline.\n\"Simple stuff that you could get money for quickly,\" he said.\nEarly Monday morning, Beckman's shop was targeted again.\nAbout 4 a.m., a man pulled up behind Jim's Welding Service about 4 a.m. and began loading more copper cable and other items into his car. But this time, police were waiting.\n\"It was bait,\" Beckman said. \"We set out to catch a rat and we put out some cheese.\"\nA 39-year-old Danbury man, George Binnette, of Oakland Avenue Extension, was taken into custody, and is in jail awaiting an appearance in Danbury Superior Court on larceny and burglary charges.\nBeckman doesn't know, and police aren't saying, if Binnette may have been involved in the other thefts.\nBut over the last several weeks, several businesses, including at least three welding shops in Danbury and Brookfield, have been burglarized. The stolen items include valuable copper cable like that taken from Beckman. The cable is easily converted to cash at recycling yards where the operators may not ask any questions when a load of new-looking \"scrap\" rolls in, the victims said.\n\"The theft of copper is on the rise due to the high cost that unscrupulous dealers will pay for these materials,\" said Thom LaBarbera, owner of Tom's Ornamental Iron Works on Federal Road in Brookfield.\nA week ago, LaBarbera said, someone stole more than 1,000 feet of welding cable from a truck parked outside his shop. Also taken was several hundred feet of extension cords, which can be stripped of the insulation and the copper wire inside also sold for scrap.\nLaBarbera estimated the weight of his stolen cable at about 500 pounds, so with a scrap value of about $3 per pound, the thief probably netted in excess of $1,500 for his night's work.\nBut the cost of replacement is far higher.\n\"The cost for the heavy welding leads is about $3.50 per foot, and without these essential tools to work it can be a disaster to a small business owner,\" LaBarbera said.\nHe lost more than a full day's work as he scrambled to replace his equipment.\n\"With the price of copper, these cables are like gold,\" said Ray Goldman, a salesman at TechAir Welding Equipment and Supplies in Danbury.\n\"A lot of it is being taken from construction sites. There's no way I can say how much of an increase in demand there has been (from contractors looking to replace stolen cables), but a lot of people have been asking for it recently,\" Goldman said.\nLaBarbera said scrap metal dealers should be required to contact police when someone tries to sell them scrap metal that looks new.\n\"In Texas, there is a law that if someone comes in with good copper wire they are supposed to call police,\" he said.\nBeckman said he's \"heard the crazy stories\" about people who've gone to bed and awoken the next morning to find the gutters have been torn off their homes to be sold for scrap. But he never expected to become a victim.\n\"When things are going good, you don't think of stuff like this until it happens to you,\" Beckman said. \"Now, I'm looking at spending money on things like extra security lighting and motion detectors.\"",

        "raw_content": "Grappling With Science\nAugust 7, 2012 Rahaf Baker\nThe summer of 2012 has been a legendary one, with news outlets hyping up farces of superheroes dominating the silver screen and Olympic giants setting world records. But we cannot overlook the heroes of the UC Irvine campus. One such hero is Melissa Davis, a doctoral candidate working in the Frostig lab at UCI\u2019s Department of Neurobiology and Behavior. By day, she is a first class scientist researching a treatment for ischemic stroke, which results from damage of a blocked artery in the brain. By night, Melissa is a feared blue- belt competititor in Jiu-Jitsu, fiercely competing in national Jiu-Jitsu tournaments. As a child, Melissa always had an interest in science, and during her undergraduate years at UCI she took a neurobiology class with Dr. Cahill and became fascinated by the complexity of the human brain. Following that class, Melissa switched from a general biology major into Neurobiology.\n\u201cIt was so incredibly interesting that studying didn\u2019t seem like work,\u201d Davis said.\n\u201cI figured that was a good sign for a life career choice.\u201d\nSpending up to 60 hours every week in the Frostig lab, Melissa studies neurovascular plasticity following middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke. She has had her share of late nights and struggles, but she works for a greater cause \u2013 the possibility of someday saving people from the devastating effects of stroke, our nation\u2019s leading cause of death. The constant stimulation and challenge that comes with research is what keeps Melissa captivated and dedicated to her work, much like our celebrated Olympians.\nThe scientist-athlete is also an inspirational woman with a love for teaching neurobiology. She was granted the Edward Steinhaus Teaching Award which she won for outstanding reviews and nominations by her students, whom she teaches and mentors in the lab.\nDespite the demands of research, Melissa still finds time to dedicate to her other passion in life: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (a form of wrestling), often training around 20 hours a week in the mornings and learning sparring and submission grappling techniques in the afternoons. Her mornings typically start at 5 a.m. with a run or power lifting followed by Jiu-Jitsu training.\n\u201cJiu- jitsu is my break, my meditation, my fun,\u201d Davis said.\n\u201cI feel truly happy on the mat with my teammates. It is a body on body debate that transcends language and time, and in the context of a modern, safe, friendly competition, is a truly unique and life changing experience.\u201d\nMelissa had to stop training for a couple of years due to the demands of graduate school, however, she came back stronger than ever with the willpower to train intensely and compete at national and world championships.\nStarting out as the only female in Total MMA Studios in Tustin, Melissa found great satisfaction in her work with Coach Fernando Travessoni in recruiting and training 12 women to form the gym\u2019s first women\u2019s team. She attests that \u201cseeing Jiu-Jitsu transform the girls like it transformed me into a more confident, but still humble person, comfortable with her body and driven to excel, has been amazing.\u201d\nJiu-Jitsu holds a deeper significance in Melissa\u2019s life than mere competition. She explains that \u201cfor women in particular, the brute assertion of self that must occur when one attempts to beat her opponent, followed by the friendliness and collegiality (usually) is incredible \u2013 a message to the brain that you will still be loved, accepted, okay, after asserting yourself, confronting and being aggressive. This alone contributes to personal development on a host of levels.\u201d She believes that these same lessons can be generalized to life situations.\nTraining, much like research, has been both challenging and rewarding. Amongst numerous regional first and second place awards, her Jiu-Jitsu record boasts a recent first place female blue belt light division at the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation National Champion in 2011. This year, Melissa won two, third place medals for both female blue belt light and open weight divisions in the World Championship.\n\u201cFor Melissa, participating in Jiu-Jitsu and research is quite similar;\u201d Dr. Frostig said, Melissa\u2019s faculty mentor.\n\u201cFor both she has to be dedicated, persistent, endure delayed gratification and constantly improve so she can tackle new, more demanding challenges.\u201d\nLooking to the horizon, Melissa is still deciding on her plans for the future. She hopes to win some world titles at the black belt level and to continue research and teaching. A true hard worker, Melissa admits that \u201cmost days I don\u2019t feel much like a superhero, but I always try to put out a superhero effort.\u201d\nThose who know her well, like fellow researcher Chris Lay, can attest to her extraordinary and heroic qualities.\n\u201cIn all aspects of her life, Melissa is a considerate and thoughtful person who adheres to a code of integrity, curiosity and compassion,\u201d Lay said.\n\u201cShe refuses to compromise on these core values, and this ferocity is one of her most admirable characteristics.\u201d\nFor women interested in Jiu-Jitsu, Melissa can be contacted at mfdavis@uci.edu. Undergraduates interested in research can contact the Frostig lab at (http://frostiglab.bio.uci.edu/)",

Born in Budapest in 1903, he was a prodigy whose early life was a series of effortless triumphs. But, after he moved to America, his career quickly foundered, thanks to unscrupulous managers and his own immense stubbornness. He slept rough in New York and, later, lived in seedy hotels in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Nyiregyh\u00e1zi, who called himself \u201ca fortissimo bastard\u201d and claimed to be \u201caddicted to Liszt, oral sex, and alcohol,\u201d married ten times and had countless other conquests (including, probably, Gloria Swanson). Rediscovered late in life, he made recordings that are controversial: his interpretations were distinctive but his technique was shaky.

It's something that many of us may encounter and it\u2019s potentially much more expensive than we realize. The cost for one year in a private nursing home room averaged $95,706 in 2014.1\nCosts vary widely by region, with costs typically being highest in larger metropolitan areas. To begin to define costs, it\u2019s important to note that long-term care services typically fall into one of three categories: home and community-based care, assisted living care and nursing home care.\nIt's impossible to predict your chances of needing long-term care and, if you do, how long you will need care and what type of care you will need, but it\u2019s important to understand the financial impact a few years of long-term care may have. By considering the costs listed below, you can begin to get a sense for how quickly long-term care expenses can add up.\nAccording to the 2014 New York Life Insurance Company (New York Life) Cost of Care Survey, the average annual cost of nursing home care in a private room was $95,706 per year2.\nThe NAIC\u2019s A Shopper\u2019s Guide to Long-Term Care Insurance (2013) notes that in 2010, assisted living facilities charged an average of $3,293 per month nationally, though some residents with higher care needs pay more.\nThe average hourly rate for in-home/informal care services was $22 per hour3\n1 New York Life 2014 Cost of Care Survey.

        "raw_content": "Barry Cassell\nPHOENIX, Ariz. - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) efforts to impose tough new air emissions limits on the coal-fired Navajo power plant came up June 4 at a field hearing in Arizona by the U.S. House Subcommittee on Water and Power.\nThe oversight hearing, held in Phoenix at the behest of the Republican majority of the House Natural Resources Committee, was called, \"Evaporating Prosperity: How Federal Actions Are Driving Up Water and Power Costs, Threatening Jobs and Leaving Arizonans High and Dry.\" At the hearing, Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock, R-Calif., and Reps. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., and David Schweikert, R-Ariz., heard from witnesses about the impacts of federal actions and regulations.\n\"A generation ago, the principal objective of federal water and power policy was to create an abundance of both,\" said McClintock in a written statement. \"But that objective has been abandoned in favor of radical and retrograde ideology that has caused government-created shortages and economic devastation throughout the West. The threatened destruction of Arizona's water and electricity supplies by federal fiat would leave local communities at the mercy of catastrophic wildfires and economic ruin.\n\"Activist\" environmental groups and the EDPA have \"targeted\" the Navajo plant for actions that could lead to closure, said a subcommittee statement. Closure of the coal-fired plant would threaten over 3,000 jobs and could cost Arizona over $20bn in lost gross state product. As a chief supplier of electricity in the state and the power supply to the Central Arizona Project, Arizona's primary water delivery system, the plant's closure would increase costs for water and power consumers and endanger current and future Indian water right settlements, the subcommittee statement, written by the Republican majority, said.\n\"The Navajo Generation Station (NGS) affects tie into nearly every aspect of the Arizona economy. Shutting it down would cause a catastrophic rippling effect causing massive increases in power, water, and food costs,\" said Schweikert.\nOn March 16, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu released a Memorandum for Power Marketing Administrators that outlined four specific directives that could lead to higher energy costs, the subcommittee majority said. Witnesses at the hearing stated that the memo raises serious concerns about the manner and scope of how the PMAs' mission would change. These actions would increase energy rates and shift costs to consumers that receive no benefit.\n\"Secretary Chu's Memo directs the administrators of the PMAs to begin a process to fundamentally change the way they do business, which will increase electricity rates for millions of rural Americans and may not provide meaningful benefits,\" said Tom Jones, CEO for the Grand Canyon State Electric Cooperative Association.\nAlso testifying for the hearing was John Sullivan, Associate General Manager and Chief Resources Executive of the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District (Salt River Project). Salt River Project is the operating agent and one of six participants in Navajo Generation Station (NGS), a 2,250-MW plant located on the Navajo Nation just outside of Page, Ariz. Salt River Project and the other participants are responding to numerous challenges relating to the continued operation of the plant, which provides critical baseload energy to meet each of its utility owners' customer needs year round, and plays a key role in Central Arizona Water Conservation District's (CAWCD) delivery of water to Native American communities, farmers, and cities in Arizona.\n\"NGS cannot be simply or easily replaced,\" Sullivan said. \"Yet, the participants currently are faced with a set of complex issues that threaten the long-term viability of the plant. Those issues include the need for lease extension and rights-of-way renewals, and the negotiation of key agreements, including for coal.\" To address these challenges, Salt River Project has been working closely with Native American Tribes and other affected stakeholders to develop a resolution to ensure the plant's continued operation, Sullivan said.\nUnfortunately, while Salt River Project has been working to secure the necessary agreements, EPA has been working to develop a regulation that could put the future of NGS in jeopardy, Sullivan added. This regulation, called the Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) rule, could require costly additional emission control technologies to combat regional haze.\nEmissions from NGS currently are controlled by hot-side electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), wet limestone scrubbers, and Low-NOx Burners and Separated Overfire Air (LNB/SOFA). The ESPs and scrubbers reduce particulate matter by 99 percent and the scrubbers reduce SO2 emissions by more than 95 percent. LNB/SOFA, which were voluntarily installed by the NGS owners at a cost of $45m, have reduced NOx emissions by about 40 percent.\nThe total cost of the additional controls under consideration by EPA as part of the BART rule is estimated to be between $550m and $1.1bn, Sullivan said. \"However, SRP's modeling results suggest that the visibility improvement that would be achieved from installing such controls would be imperceptible to the human eye. As a result, SRP believes that LNB/SOFA is BART for NGS.\"\nSullivan said several other federal actions also could put the future viability of NGS at risk:\n\u0095 The extension of an existing site lease that expires in 2019 and related agreements will trigger a review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). NEPA could require the preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS). The development of an EIS could take several years to complete and the outcome of that process is uncertain.\n\u0095 Recently-issued regulations and potential future rules that are yet to be developed or finalized also could impact the future economic viability of NGS. These include EPA's new Mercury and Air Toxic Standards (MATS), as well as potential future regulations on coal ash, ozone, and greenhouse gases.\n\"Although the NGS participants are committed to securing all of the agreements and completing the reviews necessary to ensure the continued operation of NGS, it would be difficult for the participants to justify an investment of potentially more than $1 billion for emission controls given the uncertainties that the plant currently faces,\" Sullivan said. \"As several of the NGS participants articulated to EPA in a March 12, 2012 letter, if the EPA imposes a requirement to install the most costly additional emission controls as BART before the lease is extended, other agreements are reached, and the NEPA and ESA processes are complete, the continuing viability of the plant is at substantial risk.\"\nNGS has over 500 employees, more than 80 percent of whom are Navajo. NGS and Peabody Energy's (NYSE: BTU) Kayenta mine, which supplies the plant with coal, employ almost 1,000 people, with a combined annual operating budget of about $500m. \"The plant and the mine provide significant economic benefit to the Navajo Nation and the Hopi Tribe through employment, scholarships, lease payments, and coal royalties,\" Sullivan testified.\nLoss of Navajo Generating Station could cost Arizona $18 billion\nNGS schedules public forum to explain EPA emissions proposal",

Hand embroidered with Valdani embroidery threads (these have a lovely soft variegation) and embellished with some applique. This label was made using some sew-in interfacing, stitched all the way around the outside edges, the curves clipped. Then a small slit was made in the interfacing and the label turned the right way through. A good press, and it is ready to be hand appliqued onto the back of the quilt...\n...I machined the lower edge of the label 1/4\" from the edge of the quilt, so the binding covers that part. Then the remainder of the label is hand stitched into place, taking care not to stitch all the way through the quilt. I'm really pleased with this label - although it will be hidden when it's hanging up, it will be a reminder of all the hard work that went into making this beautiful quilt.",

        "raw_content": "OBERLIN, OH\u2013\u2013The Northern Ohio Youth Orchestra will premiere student compositions from its Young Composer Program and showcase chamber music ensembles on Sunday, May 15, at 3:00 p.m. at the Bop Stop at The Music Settlement in Cleveland.\nAn exciting new addition to NOYO\u2019s season, the Young Composers Program provides students with year-long composition instruction at Oberlin Conservatory under the guidance of Assistant Professor of Composition, Aaron Helgeson with support from Oberlin Conservatory student composers, Torrin Hallett and Justin Weiss. Over the course of the year, students learned the fundamentals of music composition\u2014including counterpoint, notation, and instrumentation\u2014 while writing works to be premiered by Oberlin Conservatory musicians. Executive & Artistic Director Michael Roest says, \u201cFew secondary schools can offer composition as part of their core curriculum, and so students rarely receive formal composition instruction at a young age. Through this partnership, we are excited to give our students precisely this opportunity.\u201d On Sunday, student compositions will be brought to life by conservatory trained musicians, an extraordinary opportunity for any young composer.\nThe concert will also feature performances by NOYO chamber music ensembles. Meeting two hours per week from April to May, students in NOYO\u2019s Chamber Music Extension studied the art of playing in small ensembles under the guidance of Oberlin Conservatory Students. David Coy, Philharmonia Bassoonist and Junior at Mentor High School, shares \u201cI have participated in chamber groups for solo and ensemble before but never one with high quality instruction and musicians who will also hold themselves to a truly high standard; I've found it to be an invigorating experience\u201d.\nAbout our Composer in Residence\nTorrin Hallett - Composer, horn player, and mathematician - currently studies at Oberlin College and Conservatory. Mr. Hallett began his career in composition at age fourteen, publishing his first work at the early age of sixteen. Since then, he has continued to compose for wind ensembles, orchestras, and chamber music groups. Most recently, his music was used in the documentary \u201cConsider the Conversation 2: Stories about Cure, Relief, and Comfort.\u201d His works have been performed by the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra, where he was also a member of the horn section.\nJustin Weiss is currently a junior at Oberlin Conservatory of Music pursuing a degree in Music Composition with a minor in Music Theory. As a composer, he has received awards and recognitions from YoungArts, ASCAP, Encore Wind Ensemble, and Tribeca New Music. Additionally, Justin\u2019s piece, Drifting Impressions, was performed by the Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble in April 2016. As a conductor, he has premiered a number of student composers\u2019 works at Oberlin. Most recently he conducted the score for the upcoming TV Pilot Truth Slash Fiction. He was also the Assistant Conductor for Oberlin's Contemporary Music Ensemble and Oberlin Opera Theatre's production of The Rape of Lucretia. Justin has studied composition with Aaron Helgeson and Lewis Nielson and conducting with Raphael Jim\u00e9nez and Gregory Ristow.\nAaron Helgeson is an internationally recognized composer for the stage and concert hall, bringing a cutting-edge sensibility to acoustic instrumental and vocal music. His work\u2014described by critics as \"timeless\" and \u201cnothing short of mesmerizing\u201d\u2014explores the poetic boundaries of musical perception, drawing on the diverse fields of phenomenology, acoustics, literature, and cognitive science to create surreal and evocative sonic universes. Helgeson began writing music at the age of 14, initially studying at the American Music Institute and Interlochen Center for the Arts. He holds bachelor\u2019s degrees in composition and theater from Oberlin College and Conservatory, and a PhD from UC San Diego where he studied with Chaya Czernowin and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Roger Reynolds.\nFounded in 1969, the Northern Ohio Youth Orchestra is a regional orchestral training program for young musicians ages 8 to 22. NOYO students receive weekly instruction from a distinguished staff of professional musicians and perform in world class facilities at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music.\nTickets and Information General admission tickets are sold at the door for $10. For more information, please visit noyo.org, or call 440-775-3059.\nThe Bop Stop is located at 2920 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH 44113.",

And I started our conversation by asking him just how he saw his role here.\nJOSE CARRION III: Yeah, I think that the board was viewed as an empty vessel by many people in Puerto Rico. Some folks saw it as the - you know, the folks who are going to bring discipline to certain sectors of our government. Other folks saw it as a vessel to exclusively restructure debt. Everybody saw something different. And so we have folks who are supportive, although those folks tend to be more private. And we haven't and won't see marches in favor of fiscal discipline. But we do have our fair share of supporters, many detractors who would prefer that things remain the way they are.\nMARTIN: I think it's important for people to remember that these fiscal realities were in play before the hurricanes. So it's almost as if you had a patient who had cancer, and then he broke his leg.\nCARRION: Yes.\nMARTIN: You know, you had an ongoing problem, and then an emergency struck. I find myself, you know, wondering for you, as a person who was born here, who grew up here...\nCARRION: Who was here through the hurricane.\nMARTIN: You were here through the hurricane? You stayed?\nCARRION: Oh, yeah. I'm in the insurance business.\nMARTIN: What's this like for you? I mean, is this painful? Do you feel that you are - is this - I don't know, do you see this as kind of your service to your...\nCARRION: Absolutely.\nMARTIN: ...People? or...\nCARRION: I find myself, depending on the day - I have good days, I have bad days like, like most people. But, ultimately and most of all, I feel grateful for the opportunity to serve my people. This is my opportunity to serve. Had I accepted the job - had I known what it would entail, I probably would have, you know, maybe thought about it twice. I honestly didn't give it too much thought. It's extremely difficult. It's extremely difficult.\nWhat do I feel? I feel sadness at the situation that we've gotten ourselves into. And, the more I deal with politicians, I feel frustration, and I feel sometimes anger. But also, I look at efforts that are underway and the way that our people have reacted to the storm and have come together, and I feel hope.\nADRIAN FLORIDO, BYLINE: You mentioned your frustration with politicians who are elected officials. Can you expand on that a little bit? What is it about working with politicians that frustrates you?\nCARRION: Well, I - not all politicians, let me - I don't want to - but I can say that many politicians think they understand the magnitude of the problem. They understand that we have material debt, and they understand the need for restructuring, and they understand that we have to pay X or whatever.\nBut the solutions - they - for example, many don't understand the differences between fiscal and structural reforms. And many of them are, frankly, just interested in, you know, their own, you know, salvation - their own particular re-election and whatever that means to them - you know, or their own budget. Not all - but I've had a difficulty explaining - and I'm referring to our local politicians.\nFLORIDO: When D.C. came under the control of an oversight board back in the '90s, there were issues there that were similar to the issues that you're facing here in terms of the resistance, right? One of the things that the mayor said after the whole process was over was that the fact that the oversight board was not elected allowed it to do things that he would have wanted to do but never could have because of his constituency. Do you see the fact that you aren't elected as a benefit?\nCARRION: That is precisely what control boards are supposed to do - undertake difficult considerations that are politically unpalatable and precisely the reason why they had not been made for several - for years. And then the government is supposed to implement and - you know, and do what needs to be done. And the ire of the folks - which it's natural - is supposed to fall upon, you know, the control board. That has not been entirely the case here in Puerto Rico, and that's a shame.\nMARTIN: What do you most wish people in Puerto Rico knew that you aren't sure they know? And what do you most wish people on the mainland knew that you're not sure that they know?\nCARRION: We want - we all want for people to do better and to do well. And we want there to be sustainable economic development in Puerto Rico. What we're trying to do is promote those policies. And to do so - because I keep on going back to the - that quote by Einstein. And I don't want to - you know, if you - insanity is the definition of doing the same thing over and hoping for a different outcome.\nMARTIN: There've been some really tragic outcomes with decisions that were made by oversight boards. I mean, in Flint, Mich., for example, people who were...\nCARRION: The water, yeah.\nMARTIN: ...Involved in the oversight board were deemed to have been the reason that the water became poisoned - because they made decisions for fiscal reasons...\nCARRION: Right.\nMARTIN: ...As opposed to for the - quality-of-life reasons.\nCARRION: Yes. I mean, I - we're not saints and, you know, we need to be - there are plenty of folks who are watching us, and that's a good thing. We need to be held accountable, of course. I understand that. However, this is extremely difficult work. It's the most difficult thing I've ever done. We are, as we say down here, (speaking in Spanish) - we are the ham in the ham sandwich.\nEverybody is pressuring us one way or the other, depending on the day. There are multiple stakeholders, and some folks have material resources and have friends up north who are - you know, have their friends. And we feel that. Here, we feel every day, you know, the pressures of certain folks. I'm approached, you know, at the airport in my seat. You know, I have police protection. I've had my office - what the - what's the technical term? - intervened by protesters.\nIt's difficult work. I have my days. It can be very rewarding work, and I think that we're getting close to a solution. And I think that that makes it all worthwhile.\nMARTIN: Jose Carrion III is the chair of the financial oversight and management board here in Puerto Rico. He was kind enough to receive us in his offices in San Juan, and we spoke - he spoke with me and with my colleague Adrian Florido. Thank you so much for speaking with us.\nCARRION: It's my pleasure. Thank you. Thank you for coming.",

Mine That Regulators Wanted Seized : The Two-Way The Freedom Mine No. 1 in Pike County was the focus of an unprecedented federal court action in which the Labor Department was seeking to have the court seize control of the mine.\nMassey To Close Ky. Mine That Regulators Wanted Seized\nMassey To Close Ky. Mine That Regulators Wanted Seized 3:59\nMine Safety In America\nMassey Energy is shutting down a Kentucky mine that is targeted by federal regulators for the toughest enforcement action ever, the company confirms to NPR.\nCredit: Nelson Hsu/NPR\nThe Freedom Energy Mine No. 1 in Pike County is the focus of an unprecedented federal court action in which the Labor Department is seeking to have the court seize control of the mine. Labor Department officials argue that conditions at the facility are so dangerous that a judge's intervention was required.\nRead the case documents:\n\u2014 Memorandum of Law.\n\u2014 Complaint.\nBut now, Massey's decision to close the mine would seem to make moot Labor's effort, which the department touted as part of its get-tough response to April's deadly explosion at Massey's Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia. Twenty-nine miners died there.\nUpdate at 5:30 p.m. ET Reaction From The Labor Department:\nIn a late response to this story, the Labor Department says it \"will continue to seek a court order to ensure that miners who continue to work in any capacity at Freedom are safe.\" That's a reference to some workers who will stay on the job removing equipment from the mine. The rest will be transferred to other mines.\nUpdate at 2 p.m. ET. Reaction From Safety Experts:\n\"It's too bad that it took this action (seeking a federal court injunction) by the federal agency for the company to decide to cut its losses,\" says Celeste Monforton, a mine safety expert at George Washington University who is also part of an independent team investigating the Upper Big Branch mine disaster.\n\"These decisions are not based on safety,\" Monforton believes. \"Mining companies operate to provide shareholders a profit and when the cost of operating a mine exceeds the ability to make that profit, that's when they're going to close that mine down.\"\nMassey's claim that the mine is safe is contradicted by the evidence, says Tony Oppegard, a former state and federal mine regulator and prosecutor who now represents miners in lawsuits against mining companies.\n\"This is one of the most dangerous mines in the United States,\" Oppegard says, noting that the possible loss of jobs is overshadowed by the possible loss of life. \"There's untold suffering that results when there's a mine disaster that lasts for years and years and it's certainly preferable for a mine that can't be operated safely to be closed rather than risking a disaster.\"\nIn its statement to NPR, the Labor Department said it will continue to seek federal court intervention \"in order to protect miner safety in any mine.\" Going to federal court \"is a viable enforcement tool,\" the agency said.\nAnd Wednesday afternoon, a federal judge scheduled a hearing on a preliminary injunction for Jan. 4. U.S. District Court Judge Amal Thapar also scheduled a hearing on Dec. 17 for oral arguments on an expected Massey motion to dismiss the case.\nBoth Oppegard and Monforton believe the Labor Department succeeded in its first-ever use of its toughest enforcement tool.\n\"I don't think Massey would have closed the mine without the government's action,\" says Oppegard. \"I think they would have kept on exposing miners to safety hazards as long as they could get coal out of the mountain.\"\nMonforton says federal mine safety regulators \"should feel empowered\" and hopes they won't \"take so long to make a decision to use it again.\"\nThat's a reference to NPR's discovery of an internal MSHA e-mail sent in June that identified the Freedom Mine as \"the test case\" for a federal court injunction. But the Labor Department didn't actually file the case until November. In the interim, six rock falls occurred at the mine. One would have killed two miners if a power outage hadn't kept them away.\nUpdate at 11:10 a.m. ET. More On Freedom's Record: In court documents, the mine was described as having a \"... high risk level for a fatal accident ... on any given day\" by James Poynter, an assistant district manager at the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).\nIn fact, Freedom has experienced eight dangerous rock falls since August. Two occurred just last week, including one 16 feet deep, which was bigger than all the rest, according to federal records obtained by NPR.\nIn the last two years, Freedom has amassed more than 2,000 safety violations and orders, according to MSHA. And despite multiple meetings with mine managers about the conditions there, Poynter said in court documents, \"MSHA continues to find serious and threatening conditions at this mine.\"\nIn addition, Freedom was recently named by MSHA as one of 13 mines with a possible \"pattern of violations,\" a move that triggered tougher enforcement.\nIn a statement to NPR, Massey Energy said it \"continues to believe the mine is safe,\" but that its age and size \"present particular challenges.\" The company said it tried to reduce safety violations with unannounced internal inspections, extensive additional training and additional personnel focused on preventing and correcting violations.\n(NPR's Howard Berkes has been following the news about Massey Energy and its mines for NPR's News Investigations team.)",

The recent debt crisis and the continent's demographic changes are shaking the foundations of the EU's shared social vision. In NPR's series on Europe, a look at how governments are struggling to preserve benefits while cutting costs.\nMidlife Crisis: State Of The European Union\nCan The European Welfare State Survive?\nCan The European Welfare State Survive? 7:45\nThe generous social welfare system in Denmark and other members of the European Union generally provides free health care, long-term unemployment support, liberal vacation time, and solid maternity and child care benefits. But this pillar of the EU is under economic and demographic pressure. phatfreemiguel via flickr hide caption\nphatfreemiguel via flickr\nThe generous social welfare system in Denmark and other members of the European Union generally provides free health care, long-term unemployment support, liberal vacation time, and solid maternity and child care benefits. But this pillar of the EU is under economic and demographic pressure.\nOne of the defining ideals of the European Union has been its social support system, often referred to as the European welfare state. The shared belief among EU nations that the state has a responsibility to care for its citizens has become a kind of common culture, unifying 27 different nationalities.\nBut the European welfare system -- largely put in place during the high-growth years following World War II -- is under economic and demographic pressure. And the recent debt crisis is shaking the foundations of the European Union's shared social vision.\nAnders Dalsager and Margit Larsen (shown here with their daughter, Astrid) are graduate students at the University of Copenhagen. They were able to have a child even though they don't have jobs, thanks to subsidies from the Danish government. Eleanor Beardsley/NPR hide caption\nAnders Dalsager and Margit Larsen (shown here with their daughter, Astrid) are graduate students at the University of Copenhagen. They were able to have a child even though they don't have jobs, thanks to subsidies from the Danish government.\nAnders Dalsager and Margit Larsen are graduate students at the University of Copenhagen. Like all Danish students, they study for free and receive a monthly stipend equivalent to about $900 per person from the government.\nOn a recent day, the married couple walked to pick up their 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Astrid, from the campus kindergarten.\nDalsager and Larsen say they were able to afford having a child, even though they don't yet have jobs, because the government also gives them a child care subsidy.\n\"As a regular student, you get five years of support, and then if you have a child, you get extra support from the government -- 12 months if it's the mother and six months if it's the father,\" Dalsager says.\nIn Paris, 600 miles to the south, Marites David is also picking up a child from preschool. David immigrated to France from the Philippines 20 years ago. Today, she works as a nanny.\nWhen David finally got her residency, it came with automatic coverage under France's extensive health care system. David says that has been a blessing because of her chronic asthma.\n\"Mostly every summer I have to go to the emergency room because I can't breathe in the summer. They look after you until you're OK. For me, everything is free -- for medicine, doctors, hospital. It's nice to live here,\" she says.\n'Element Of European Identity' In Crisis\nFrom Stalwart To Skeptic, Germany Rethinks EU Role July 13, 2010\nA Fitful Dream: European Unity Shaken By New Woes July 12, 2010\nUnder the European Union's generous social welfare system, the model and level of benefits vary from country to country. As a general rule, Europeans enjoy free health care, long-term unemployment support, liberal vacation time and solid maternity and child care benefits.\nDominique Moisi, a political analyst with the French Institute for International Relations, says \"the European welfare system has been an important element of European identity.\"\n\"I would say [it is] one of the great comparative advantages of Europe, if not in economic terms, at least in social and human terms,\" he says.\nMoisi says the welfare state has provided a buffer against the economic crisis, protecting Europeans from the kind of suffering Americans have gone through.\nThat may be true, says Nicolas Doze, a commentator on economics with a popular French business channel. But without major reforms, Doze says the European Union will not be able to maintain its vision of a kinder, gentler way of life.\n\"Our social system in France alone has accumulated more than 100 billion euros in debt, and it just isn't viable anymore,\" he says. \"Today it survives thanks to one thing: France's AAA credit rating and our ability to keep borrowing to pay for the social programs.\"\nPeople march during a protest in Marseille, southern France, last month. Workers nationwide were striking to protest President Nicolas Sarkozy's plans to raise the retirement age to 62 from 60. Sweeping reforms to France's money-losing pension system is part of efforts around Europe to cut back on growing public debts. Claude Paris/AP hide caption\nPeople march during a protest in Marseille, southern France, last month. Workers nationwide were striking to protest President Nicolas Sarkozy's plans to raise the retirement age to 62 from 60. Sweeping reforms to France's money-losing pension system is part of efforts around Europe to cut back on growing public debts.\nDoze says the Greek debt crisis has pushed European governments to do more to reduce social spending in the past 10 weeks than they have in the past 10 years. The markets have put a revolver to their head, he says.\nWelfare Cuts Trigger Strong Protest\nIndeed, governments from Germany to Spain are enacting austerity plans and spending cuts to try to reduce national debts and rein in public spending. But these reforms are being met with resistance -- and not just in Greece.\nGermans are angry about cuts in social spending. In France, hundreds of thousands of workers have taken to the streets in recent weeks to protest President Nicolas Sarkozy's plans to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62.\nThe French government says workers must stay on the job longer to keep the state pension system afloat. But protesters say there is plenty of money -- if you tax the bankers and stockbrokers instead of bailing them out.\nFrancois Couder, 43, began working at the age of 17 laying underground cable in hazardous conditions for state-run France Telecom. The company has since been privatized.\nCouder says the rules of the game changed midcourse, and it's the workers who are paying the price.\n\"We came into the company with a clear contract to work 40 years and retire. Now, the closer we get to retirement, they say, no, you need to go a little longer. Will they keep adding years? If it's all to retire into a hospice or a wheelchair, what's the point?\" Couder says.\nDemographic, Labor Market Pressures\nMap: Europe's Economy Under Siege\nA look at the economies of the 27 EU member states, 16 of which have adopted the euro.\nA large percentage of social spending in the European Union goes toward supporting labor market policies such as unemployment benefits and pension systems, says economist Willem Adema, with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a 31-nation group that promotes international cooperation and economic growth.\n\"With the dynamics of an aging population and the increase in life expectancy, and with the financial pressures, raising retirement ages is going on across many different European countries,\" he says.\nAnother problem for the EU, says Adema, is the rigidity of its labor market -- it is difficult to fire workers, making it difficult to hire new ones. Adema says that has inhibited the economic growth necessary to sustain the welfare state. Growth in the eurozone is only expected to reach 1 percent in 2010, compared to 3 percent in the U.S.\nDenmark and its Nordic neighbors have the most extensive cradle-to-grave protection systems in the European Union. They also pay the highest taxes.\nTesting Denmark's 'Flexicurity' System\nBut the streets of Copenhagen bustle with well-off and happy-looking people. Denmark also has one of Europe's lowest unemployment rates -- about 5 percent. That's largely because of a system called \"flexicurity\" that gives employers the freedom to hire and fire, while the state supports laid-off workers with generous benefits and retraining.\nA Brief History Of The EU\n\"We have a very dynamic, innovative business sector, but it is facilitated and enabled by strong public institutions,\" says Lars Bo Kaspersen, director of the Center for Business and Politics at Copenhagen Business School.\nKaspersen says the current crisis will test the Danish flexicurity model, which is admired by other EU nations. Danes and other Europeans say they have faith in their social welfare systems. But there is a realization across the EU that sacrifices must be made to preserve the European social model.\nFew Europeans seem to want an American-style, mostly private, system. Europeans looked on in horror when American retirees lost their life savings in collapsed pension funds, and the unemployed lost their houses and health care.\nSo Europeans are doing their best to keep their system afloat.\nUndermining One Of The EU's Three Pillars\nJacques Attali, an economist, scholar and author, is advising the French government on ways to curb health care spending.\n\"We may be very proud of our system, and we have not the slightest intention to change it, and we can afford it. What we have to do is just to have small adjustment of 1 percent of our GDP; 1 percent of our spending is not a lot of money. We will do it,\" he says.\nBut with aging populations and sluggish economic growth, not everyone is so sure. The European Union, people say, was built on three pillars: peace, growth and a shared social vision. If one of those pillars collapses, how long will the other two remain standing?",

        "raw_content": "Winter and Spring Programs at Coronado National Memorial\nCoronado National Memorial is pleased to announce the return of free, ranger-guided programs in the park. Late winter and early spring are ideal seasons to join park rangers for a hike to explore the natural and cultural history of the park. Mild daytime temperatures ensure comfortable hiking conditions in the park\u2019s oak woodlands and mountainous terrain. All programs are free of charge, and no reservations are necessary.\nRanger-led Coronado Cave tours leave from the Coronado Cave trailhead, \u00bc mile west of the visitor center, on Saturdays at 10:00 am from January 28 to April 8. The cave is nestled in a limestone layer at the base of the complex geological puzzle that is Montezuma Peak. Exposed in the beam of a flashlight or headlamp, cave formations such as stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones, and columns emerge from the darkness. This guided hike and cave tour requires a moderate, one-mile round-trip hike to the cave entrance (500 foot elevation gain), and a steep, 40-foot rocky descent from the cave entrance to the cave floor. Participants are asked to bring a flashlight or headlamp, extra batteries, gloves, water, and sun protection. Sturdy shoes are required due to the uneven terrain. The tour lasts approximately two hours. Groups of 10 or more should call the park to arrange a group tour.\nThe park is pleased to offer a new service \u2013 a free hiker shuttle from the visitor center to Montezuma Pass. Beginning on January 26, a shuttle van will leave the visitor center every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:30 am to transport riders to Montezuma Pass where hikers can take the 3-mile Joe\u2019s Canyon Trail back to their vehicle and the visitor center. Riders can also opt to take in the views and spend about 20 minutes at the overlook before taking the shuttle back down to the visitor center. Seats will be available on a first-come first-served basis. Check in at the visitor center to sign-up the day of the shuttle. Due to capacity limits of the shuttle van, we cannot accommodate large groups (hiking groups, etc). Contact the park for more information.\nAttend a special lecture given by archaeologist and historian Dr. Deni Seymour. Learn about how the San Pedro River got its name and about those who lived in the San Pedro River Valley before and after the Coronado Expedition arrived in the area nearly 500 years ago. Join Dr. Seymour for an outdoor presentation (weather permitting) in the picnic area on Saturday, March 11 at 1:00pm.\nThe park is open every day a half hour before sunrise to a half hour after sunset. The visitor center is open daily from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. For more information about programs or directions to the park, please contact the visitor center staff at 520-366-5515, ext. 0, visit the park website at www.nps.gov/coro or find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/coronadonationalmemorial.\nTags: Chiricahua National Monument CHIR",

Three of those hurricanes, Harvey, Irma, and Maria, made landfall on the mainland U.S. or U.S. territories. In addition to causing tremendous destruction, the storms highlighted the likelihood that similar storms and damage will occur again. Recovery continues, and preparedness for future storms and sea level rise will take many forms. The Heritage Documentation Programs' work focuses on documenting the physical places\u2014especially those related to architecture, engineering, and cultural landscapes\u2014that illustrate American history.

This collaborative effort between the School of Nursing and Baltimore City Public Schools will focus on the development of a new model for identifying and recruiting middle school students into the academy, which is scheduled to open in September 2001 at Southwestern High School.\nIn order to address the nursing shortage in our state, we must get college bound youth interested in nursing as a profession, educate them about the many options available in the field and assist them in the pursuit of a nursing career,\" said Barbara R. Heller, EdD, RN, FAAN, Dean of the School of Nursing.\nBeginning in 9th grade and continuing through 12th grade, students will be offered a sequence of college preparatory coursework and electives to prepare them for admission to the School of Nursing. Students will benefit from the School's faculty expertise, advisement and mentoring, and will have the opportunity to meet leaders in the nursing profession. In addition, students will be able to take advantage of the School's rich array of pre-clinical simulation laboratories, its standardized patients and clinical initiatives.\nThe program is expected to increase students knowledge and appreciation of basic nursing concepts, increase their awareness of the unparalleled career opportunities available in the nursing field, and ultimately provide a cadre of qualified students to enter the nursing profession.\nFor more information about the pre-nursing academy, call Dr. Linda Thompson, Assistant Dean, Policy and Planning, University of Maryland School of Nursing, 410-706-3664.",

        "title": "Dietary Guidelines Debate Gets Ugly - Nutrition Unplugged",
        "raw_content": "Let me catch you up on the latest, in case you haven\u2019t been following.\nLast week, the British Medical Journal publishes an article critical of the proposed 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the committee\u2019s work. Written by journalist Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, the article is entitled The Scientific Report Guiding the U.S. Dietary Guidelines: Is It Scientific? Curious title coming from a non-scientist herself. Here\u2019s an excerpt outlining Nina\u2019s major beef with the report:\nThe committee\u2019s approach to the evidence on saturated fats and low carbohydrate diets reflects an apparent failure to address any evidence that contradicts what has been official nutritional advice for the past 35 years. The foundation of that advice has been to recommend eating less fat and fewer animal products (meat, dairy, eggs) while shifting calorie intake towards more plant foods (fruits, vegetables, grains, and vegetable oils) for good health. And in the past decades, this advice has remained virtually unchanged.\nIf you\u2019re not familiar with The Big Fat Surprise, I\u2019ve written about this book here. Nina\u2019s book was one of the reasons we saw so many misleading headlines last year extolling the virtues of saturated fat. Nina\u2019s BMJ article gripes about the conclusions in the report about saturated fat \u2014 claiming bias, conflicts of interest and a shoddy review of the evidence.\nWell, you don\u2019t think the committee was going to sit back and take this. No way. They penned one of many responses to the article. In fact, responses were pouring in from around the world by the end of the week. Here\u2019s a part of what the committee had to say:\nIn our opinion, Ms. Tiecholz\u2019s article is woefully misleading and in many cases, factually incorrect. Its provenance is described as \u2018commissioned\u2019 and externally peer reviewed and fact checked. This statement is puzzling in its lack of detail and the validity of the statement on fact checking is doubtful. Ms Teicholz is a self-identified investigative reporter who has been on a quest for quite a long time to promote her own book in the popular press entitled \u2018The Big Fat Surprise\u2019 Why butter, meat and cheese belong in a healthy diet.\u2019 In conclusion, the 2015 DGAC Scientific Report was developed in an open, evidence-based and transparent process that meets or exceeds the recommended scientific methods for issuing evidence-informed public health guidance. It is a disservice to these rigorous processes to publish commentaries that lack any scientific rigor and are inflammatory in nature. This publication without even a counterpoint detracts from the focused efforts needed to seek sound solutions to the preventable health problems we confront in the U.S. but also globally.\nBonnie Liebman, nutrition director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, wrote a powerful response that tore apart each one of Nina\u2019s criticisms.\nToday\u2019s \u201cfeature\u201d in the BMJ by journalist Nina Teicholz continues her distorted and error-laden campaign against the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee report. Earlier this year, she wrote a similar mistake-filled op-ed for the New York Times. In fact, the DGAC\u2019s advice is consistent with dietary advice from virtually every major health authority, including the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, the American Diabetes Association, the American Cancer Society, World Health Organization, and the Obesity Society. Teicholz would have us believe that only she, not the dozens of experts who systematically reviewed the evidence for these health authorities, has the smarts to accurately interpret this evidence. In fact, she makes many glaring errors in her BMJ piece.\nBonnie concludes her response saying Nina\u2019s article is a \u201chodge-podge of fact and fiction and will only confuse a confused public even more.\u201d I thought Bonnie\u2019s response was so well done that I tweeted it last week. Well, here\u2019s Nina\u2019s tweet back to me:\n@JanetHelm @CSPI @bmj_latest CSPI is the group that recommended upping trans fats back in the 80s. So maybe not the best group to rely upon\n\u2014 Nina Teicholz (@bigfatsurprise) September 25, 2015\nHmmmm. Curious attack response.\nPerhaps the strongest rebuttal comes from Dr. David Katz, who is always so eloquent in his writing; An open letter to the BMJ regarding U.S. Dietary Guidance:\nI am rather stunned that the BMJ published a journalist\u2019s commentary about the work of the 2015 United States Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee as if it were an authoritative rebuttal. It\u2019s as if someone selling horse paperweights is invited to critique the Olympic equestrian team. It is, in a word, absurd- and testimony to the breakdown in integrity where science and media come together. With all due respect to Ms. Teicholz, she is not a nutrition expert, and not a scientist. She is a journalist herself, and one with a book to sell. She refers to bias, but fails to highlight her own. If the DGAC report is valid, it calls into question her own conclusions- as well it should. She may therefore have suspect motives in seeking discredit this work. The same author wrote much the same in the New York Times, and I was stunned then, as now, that what was once rarefied territory for truly expert opinion is being allocated so indiscriminately. The notion that the opinion of one journalist with a book to sell is in any way a suitable counterweight to the conclusions of a diverse, multidisciplinary, independent group of scientists who reviewed evidence for the better part of two years and relied upon knowledge and judgment cultivated over decades of relevant work- is nearly surreal. It is a disservice to the readership in both cases.\nArielle Duhaime-Ross wrote an excellent piece for The Verge: Medical journal\u2019s bogus investigation could derail better dietary guidelines.\nIt seems a shame that no editor at the British Medical Journal chose to respond to our questions. Obviously, greater oversight was needed for this article, or else such egregious mistakes would not appear in an \u201cinvestigative\u201d report in the journal\u2019s pages.\nSo what does this all mean? Of course butter, meat and cheese belong in a healthy diet. I certainly enjoy all three. But it\u2019s important to not give them such virtuous qualities that it\u2019s a green light to over do it. My recommendations remain the same as my earlier post when Nina\u2019s book came out and there were a flurry of headlines declaring that saturated fat is back:\nimage: flickr user r.nial bradshaw, triple bacon cheeseburger; flickr user chun kit to, butter; all creative commons\nTagged Dietary Guidelines for Americans\n\u00ab Will Jackfruit Be the Next Big Food Craze?\nAn Early Look at FNCE Food Trends \u00bb",

(Orange County Sheriff's Office)\nThe identity of a body found more than three decades ago has officially been determined through the use of \u201cbreakthrough\u201d forensics.\nThe Orange County (Calif.) Sheriff\u2019s Department says it confirmed that Tracey Hobson was the victim whose remains were discovered in a grassy area on Aug. 30, 1987 in Anaheim.\nAuthorities used dental technology known as forensic odontology to make the determination more than 31 years after the case opened.\n\u201cForensic genealogy has provided a new tool for investigators to work cases from a different angle to bring closure to families,\u201d Sheriff Don Barnes said in a statement. \u201cWe will never stop investigating these types of cases and seeking justice for victims of crime.\u201d\nHobson was 20 when she died.

        "title": "As EMI and Apple Delay Beatles Reissues, Bootleg Sales Boom - The New York Times",
        "raw_content": "Music|Hard Day\u2019s Night for Beatles Reissues\nHard Day\u2019s Night for Beatles Reissues\nIf you still believe in Santa Claus, you might also have expected to wake up on Christmas morning and find an iPod stocked with the long-promised reissues of all the Beatles albums. But if you know the shocking truth about Santa, you probably know that the vaunted Beatles reissues don\u2019t exist either, outside the vaults of EMI, the group\u2019s record label, and Apple, the company the band set up in 1967 to oversee its interests.\nOther long-anticipated Apple projects, like DVD versions of the Beatles\u2019 Shea Stadium concert and the \u201cLet It Be\u201d film, failed to turn up for the holidays as well. And if you put any faith in Paul McCartney\u2019s passing mention, in November, that the 1967 avant-garde track \u201cCarnival of Light\u201d might be released, don\u2019t hold your breath: this track has been dangled before (about a decade ago, when Mr. McCartney used it as the soundtrack of an unreleased \u201cphotofilm,\u201d made from photographs of the Beatles taken by his first wife, Linda).\nIndeed, whenever Mr. McCartney releases a new album (as he did the week \u201cCarnival of Light\u201d was mentioned), reports of \u201clong-lost\u201d Beatles tracks that \u201cmight be released\u201d suddenly surface, but the recordings themselves do not.\nEven the most believable of reports, floated by EMI insiders, proved fruitless this year. During the summer EMI was said to be preparing a deluxe remastered edition of the \u201cThe Beatles\u201d (popularly known as \u201cThe White Album\u201d) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its release. The anniversary came and went, with no sign of the reissue.\nInstead, Apple sent e-mail messages to fans directing them to beatles.com, the official Web site, where they could celebrate the anniversary by buying a $395 \u201cWhite Album\u201d fountain pen. Also on offer were a \u201cWhite Album\u201d hoodie and T-shirts. Presumably, the wizards at Apple think people will want these things in time for the Beatles edition of Rock Band, the computer game to which the group agreed, this fall, to lend its name and music.\nThe \u0093Sgt. Pepper\u0094 bootleg album from Purple Chick.\nIt is not for lack of interest at either end of the food chain that the Beatles can\u2019t manage to get upgraded versions of their classic recordings onto the market, except by way of a video game or a site-specific show (Cirque du Soleil\u2019s \u201cLove,\u201d in Las Vegas).\nEMI, which owns the group\u2019s recordings, remastered them at least two years ago. According to a 1989 agreement that ended 20 years of lawsuits between the Beatles and EMI, the label can do nothing without an O.K. from Apple. But Apple is supposedly keen: early in 2007 it hired Jeff Jones, a record executive whose last job was overseeing historical reissues for the superb Sony Legacy series.\nThere would have been no reason to hire someone with that background if archival reissues were not in the company\u2019s plans, and since Apple acts only with the unanimous consent of its four shareholders \u2014 Mr. McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono and Olivia Harrison \u2014 presumably all four have agreed to a release program, at least in principle.\nAnd how many record labels, just now, are facing an army of consumers who are saying, in effect: \u201cWe\u2019ve bought this music several times already \u2014 on mono and stereo LPs, on picture discs and audiophile vinyl, perhaps on cassette and most recently on CD \u2014 but please, we beg you, sell it to us again.\u201d\nSo what\u2019s the holdup? No one is willing to say, but Mr. McCartney recently asserted that EMI was demanding an unspecified concession that the Beatles were unwilling to make.\nFrankly, the reasons hardly matter at this point: to collectors awaiting these releases, either on physical CDs (improved sound being the main point of remastering) or as digital downloads (where convenience trumps audiophile considerations), the inability of Apple and EMI to get this music onto the market is a symbol of how pathetic the record business has become, and how dysfunctional Apple continues to be. On Beatles chat boards and Web sites, the $395 pen, in particular, was greeted with derision.\nThis must be intensely frustrating for Mr. Jones; in fact, people close to EMI and Apple say he has a significant list of projects that he would love to release. But in the nearly two years he\u2019s been at Apple, he has presided over the video game agreement and a DVD documentary about the making of the \u201cLove\u201d show (which, in truth, includes a few revealing moments, showing the difficulties of dealing with Apple\u2019s shareholders, from Cirque du Soleil\u2019s point of view).\nWhile EMI and Apple have been squabbling, collectors have taken matters into their own hands, pooling unreleased tracks and compiling anthologies that are far more ambitious than anything EMI is likely to release. Usually, these unauthorized desktop bootleg projects (which are of course illegal) have attractive cover art and copious annotations, and these days money rarely changes hands for them: the people who compile them distribute them freely (and encourage others to do so) either on home-burned CDs and DVDs or, increasingly, on the Internet.\nSome are curatorial masterpieces. A label called Purple Chick has assembled deluxe editions of each commercially released album, offering the original discs in their mono and stereo mixes, along with the singles (also in mono and stereo) released at the time, as well as every known demo, studio outtake and alternative mix.\nDrawing mostly on an earlier generation of less obsessively organized bootlegs and adding otherwise unbootlegged rarities when they turn up, Purple Chick has generally chosen the best-sounding and most complete takes (editing together fragments where necessary) and has done some speed correction and other sonic tweaking.\nFans who had hoped for a remastered Beatles catalog have had to settle for mementos like a $395 \u0093White Album\u0094 pen.\nIt offers upgrades, as well: when copies of the unmixed, unedited four-track masters of four songs from \u201cSgt. Pepper\u2019s Lonely Hearts Club Band\u201d began circulating at the end of last year, Purple Chick revised its \u201cSgt. Pepper\u201d compilation to accommodate them.\nSo if you wanted to celebrate the anniversary of \u201cThe White Album,\u201d you could turn to Purple Chick\u2019s \u201cBeatles Deluxe,\u201d which covers 10 CDs. And if you want to begin the new year by commemorating the 40th anniversary of the \u201cLet It Be\u201d sessions, which ran from Jan. 2 to 31, 1969, you still have a few days to find Purple Chick\u2019s \u201cA/B Road,\u201d which offers nearly 96 hours of those sessions on 83 CDs.\nIt can be a slog \u2014 songs are rehearsed endlessly \u2014 but its best moments are magical. Along with discussions, fights and jam sessions, you hear classic tracks coming together, from the first time one of the Beatles walks the others through its chord progression, straight through to the finished arrangement, with lyrics taking shape along the way.\nPurple Chick has also compiled the group\u2019s BBC radio performances on 10 CDs and a CD-ROM (compared with EMI\u2019s two-CD official release), and is currently working its way through all the available concert recordings.\nAnother label, Lazy Tortoise, is compiling chronologically all the Beatles\u2019 television and radio interviews. And on DVD, the FAB label is doing the same with the group\u2019s film and television appearances, from 1962 to the present.\nNobody who collects these things would hesitate to buy officially released archival projects, if only Apple and EMI would release them. Perhaps by the time the 40th anniversary of the \u201cAbbey Road\u201d album rolls around, on Sept. 26, Apple and EMI will have gotten it together.\nA version of this article appears in print on , on Page C1 of the New York edition with the headline: Hard Day\u2019s Night For Beatles Reissues.

        "raw_content": "Neuropsychiatric Symptoms In Alzheimer\u2019s And Dementia\nSanjeev Patel Business\nNeuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia are a common occurrence, which causes significant distress for individuals affected by the same and their caregivers. Even though the symptoms are severe and have serious implications, NPSs are still under-recognized and owing to lack of advancements, it is often highly challenging to treat. Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia were amongst the earliest of signs or symptoms of neurocognitive issues and the decline of one\u2019s cognitive abilities. Psychiatry pharma franchises in Bengaluru have developed and brought-forward various medicinal products to address these burgeoning challenges of NPSs.\nA Statistical Overview\nIn a research, it was found that more than 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer\u2019s disease and closely related forms of dementia. This number is estimated to rise in striking fashion and by the year 2050, more than 14 million people will suffer from the same. With treatment of dementia being on the higher end of the price chart, it is extremely difficult for middle-class patients and their family to conduct proper care. Last year itself, over 16 million caregivers were hired to assist elderly citizens with dementia, which means a cumulative total of over 18 billion hours are spent every year in care.\nIn India, things are not too bright as well. Herein, around 4 million people suffer from some form of dementia. The most common condition amongst them being Alzheimer, which comprises a total of 1.6 million out of the overall number. Alarmingly, by the year 2050, this number is slated to reach close to the 5 million mark.\nA big problem in India surrounding dementia is the lack of knowledge amongst citizens concerning the disease. People are negligent about the situation, its causes, and its eventual results. Psychiatry pharma franchises in Bengaluru and other parts of India not only have the task-cut out to provide medicinal care but they also need to spread knowledge about dementia, NPSs, and how individuals can be prepared for the worst.\nNeuropsychiatric Symptoms of Alzheimer and Dementia\nPsychotic Symptoms in AD\nIn this form of symptom, individuals face both occurrences of hallucinations and delusions. Hallucinations are reported to occur less frequently as compared to delusions, especially in isolated situations. Surprisingly, the opposite rings true for other forms of dementia like Lewy bodies and Parkinson\u2019s disease. The hallucinations in AD are majorly different than the ones suffering from psychotic depression and schizophrenia. Herein, the hallucinations are much more visual, less auditory, and in rare cases it is tactile. On the other hand, delusions can be divided into two categories; persecutory delusions, which occur in the early stage of AD and misidentification delusions, which increases with the severity of dementia.\nDisturbances in sleep is an extremely common symptom in dementia linked with AD. Statistically, it affects a staggering 44% of patients across clinics. Disturbances in sleep cause a wide-number of unsupervised and potentially risky behaviors on part of the suffering individual. This includes pacing down the floor or wandering around and others, all of which can place surrounding members to be at risk of harm.\nIt is highly common for individuals suffering from AD to be agitated and anxious. The reason behind such conditions can be because of various medical conditions, medical engagements, or any situation that causes the person\u2019s thinking abilities to deteriorate. In this case, individuals become extremely restless, which makes them move around and pace up and down, or makes them sad in certain places or times.\nTreatments for neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer may not have advanced as much as other fields of healthcare, but continuous efforts and proven results are bringing forward a new ray of hope amongst individuals. Psychiatry pharma franchises in Bengaluru and other cities of India boast the capability to identify, nurture, and treat such disorders and diseases.\nSanjeev Patel\nSanity Pharma is a trustworthy brand in the playing field of medicinal zone manufacturing many products telling to many illnesses.\n\u2192 Sanjeev Patel\nA Step-by-step Guide To Garden Maintenance Melbourne & Improvement\tWhy you should install the security system in your home?",

        "raw_content": "Homepage - All Books - Exploring the Interior: Essays on Literary and Cultural History\nIn this fascinating collection of essays Harvard Emeritus Professor Karl S. Guthke examines the ways in which, for European scholars and writers of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, world-wide geographical exploration led to an exploration of the self. Guthke explains how in the age of Enlightenment and beyond intellectual developments were fuelled by excitement about what Ulrich Im Hof called \"the grand opening-up of the wide world\u201d, especially of the interior of the non-European continents. This outward turn was complemented by a fascination with \"the world within\u201d as anthropology and ethnology focused on the humanity of the indigenous populations of far-away lands \u2013 an interest in human nature that suggested a way for Europeans to understand themselves, encapsulated in Gauguin\u2019s Tahitian rumination \"What are we?\u201d\nThe essays in the first half of the book discuss first- or second-hand, physical or mental encounters with the exotic lands and populations beyond the supposed cradle of civilisation. The works of literature and documents of cultural life featured in these essays bear testimony to the crossing not only of geographical, ethnological, and cultural borders but also of borders of a variety of intellectual activities and interests. The second section examines the growing interest in astronomy and the engagement with imagined worlds in the universe, again with a view to understanding homo sapiens, as compared now to the extra-terrestrials that were confidently assumed to exist. The final group of essays focuses on the exploration of the landscape of what was called \"the universe within\u201d; featuring, among a variety of other texts, Schiller\u2019s plays The Maid of Orleans and William Tell, these essays observe and analyse what Erich Heller termed \"The Artist\u2019s Journey into the Interior.\u201d\nThis collection, which travels from the interior of continents to the interior of the mind, is itself a set of explorations that revel in the discovery of what was half-hidden in language. Written by a scholar of international repute, it is eye-opening reading for all those with an interest in the literary and cultural history of (and since) the Enlightenment.\nThe publication of this volume is supported by a grant from the Anne and Jim Rothenberg Fund for Humanities Research at Harvard University.\nKarl S.

        "title": "Rules of Card Games: Zheng Fen",
        "raw_content": "Home Page > Classified Index > Climbing games > Zheng Fen\nZheng Fen\n\u6323\u5206\nThis description is based on an article by Axel Schmale which appeared some years ago in the P\u00f6ppel-Revue. He learned it in China during a railway journey.\nThe name of the game means \"competing for points\". It is an interesting hybrid between a climbing game and a point-trick game of the king-ten-five group. The mechanics are like those of Zheng Shangyou or Big Two but the primary aim is to win points rather than necessarily to get rid of cards as quickly as possible. The point values of cards are the same as in the popular Chinese point-trick game Da Bai Fen (Hundred).\nPlayers, Cards and Object\nEnd of the Play, and Scoring\nDifferences in the Second and Subsequent Deals\nPlayable Card Combinations\nFrom three to six people can play.\nA 54 card pack is used, consisting of the standard 52 cards plus two distinguishable jokers, big and small. Generally the red or colourful joker is agreed to be the big one.\nThe object is to win valuable cards in tricks. The fives are worth 5 points each, and the tens and kings are worth 10 points each. All the other cards are worthless. There are therefore 100 points in total to be won on each hand. A target score for the game is agreed - generally 500 or (for a longer game) 1000. The winner is the first player whose score reaches or exceeds the target.\nThe deal and play are anticlockwise. For the first deal a randomly chosen player shuffles, that player's right-hand neighbour cuts. The Chinese method of dealing is that the players take their own cards. The pack is placed face-down and starting with the player who cut and proceeding anticlockwise, each player takes the top card without showing it. This continues until all the cards are distributed to the players. Some players may have one more card than others - this does not matter. Players can look at and sort their own cards as they pick them up.\nIn the first deal, the player who holds the three of hearts leads to the first trick. The tricks in this game are not like those in most western trick-taking games, where the players contribute one card each and then the trick is over. Instead:\nThe player who leads to the trick may lead several cards at once; when more than one card is played together the cards must form a legal combination in one of the 10 categories described below.\nSubsequent players (in anticlockwise rotation) may either play to the trick or pass. If they play, they must play a higher ranking combination of cards of the same category that was led, or one of the special combinations from category J. If they pass, they do not play any cards and the turn passes to the next player.\nThe trick does not end when everyone has had a turn to play - it continues round the table for as many rounds as necessary until all players but one pass in succession.\nIf you pass at your turn to play to a trick, this does not prevent you playing to that same trick if the turn comes round to you again.\nThe trick ends when all the players but one pass in succession. At this point the trick is won by the player who played the final and therefore highest combination. This player gathers in all the cards played to the trick and keeps them in a face-down pile. The winner of the trick leads to the next trick, and may lead a combination from any category.\nEventually the players will run out of cards in their hands. A player who has no cards takes no further part in the play, but play continues between the remaining players, until only one player has cards left. The players with no cards simply miss their turns. If a player with no cards is due to lead, having just won a trick by playing their last card(s), the lead passes to the next player to the right who has cards. When only one player has cards left, the trick in progress is completed - i.e. that last player is allowed to beat the combination played by the second last player left in if able to - and is gathered by the winner of the trick as normal.\nThe player who runs out of cards first has an advantage in the scoring, and the last player who has cards left is at a disadvantage. Before the scoring, all the cards in the tricks taken by the last player, and all the cards remaining in the last player's hand at the end, must be given to the first player and added to that player's tricks.\nEach player then counts the the total value of card in their tricks (10 for each king or ten, and 5 for each five) and adds it to their score. The player who came last will of course score nothing. There is a total of 100 points to be scored on each hand. If someone has reached or gone above the target figure the game ends and the player with the highest score wins.\nThe player who came last in the previous hand shuffles. The player who came first takes the first card in the deal, and it continues anticlockwise. The player who came first in the previous hand also leads to the first trick (rather than the holder of the 3).\nThe possible card combinations are given below. Note that a combination can only be beaten by a higher combination of the same category, or by a combination from the special category J.\nThe general ranking of the cards, from low to high, is:\n3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - J - Q - K - A - 2 - small joker - big joker\nThis ranking is used both to determine which cards beat which others, and which cards are in sequence.\nA: Single Card\nAny single card. The ranking is as given above.\nB: Pair\nA pair of cards of equal rank - such as two sixes or two queens. The ranking is the same as for single cards.\nC: Triple\nThree cards of equal rank. The ranking is the same as for single cards.\nD: Quartet\nFour cards of equal rank. The ranking is the same as for single cards.\nE: Sequence of pairs\nThree or more pairs in unbroken sequence - such as 8-8-9-9-10-10-J-J. Note that 2-2-3-3-4-4 would not be a legal play, as 2's and 3's are not adjacent (2's high and 3's low). On the other hand, K-K-A-A-2-2 is legal. The rank of the highest pair determines the rank of the sequence. If the highest pairs are equal, a longer sequence beats a shorter one. So 5-5-6-6-7-7 beats 4-4-5-5-6-6, but 4-4-5-5-6-6-7-7 beats 5-5-6-6-7-7.\nF: Sequence of triples\nThree or more triples in unbroken sequence, such as 7-7-7-8-8-8-9-9-9. The rank is determined by the rank of the highest triple.\nG: Sequence of quartets\nThree or more quartets in unbroken sequence. The rank is determined by the rank of the highest quartet.\nH: Full House\nThis is not quite like a full house in poker. It consists of three cards of the same rank plus two other cards, but the two cards do not necessarily have to be a pair. There are four legal types:\ntriple + pair (e.g. 5-5-5-Q-Q)\ntriple + two adjacent cards of the same suit (e.g. 7-7-7- A- 2)\ntriple + any three + any other single card (e.g. 5-5-5-3-10)\ntriple + any two counting cards (i.e. fives, tens or kings) (e.g. J-J-J-5-K)\nThe rank of a full house is determined by the rank of the triple. If the triples of two full houses are of equal rank (which is possible using jokers as substitutes - see below), neither beats the other. The type of full house and the rank of the other two cards have no effect.\nI: Suit Sequence\nFive or more cards of the same suit in unbroken sequence (e.g. J- Q- K- A- 2). The rank is determined by the highest card in the sequence. If these are equal, the longer sequence beats the shorter. So 7- 8- 9- 10- J can be beaten by 8- 9- 10- J- Q, which in turn can be beaten by 7- 8- 9- 10- J- Q.\nJ: Special\nThere are three special combinations. In ascending order they are:\nfive, ten and king of mixed suits\nfive, ten and king, all in the same suit\nfour twos\nThese beat any combination in categories A to I.\nIn categories B to I, jokers are wild - that is a joker can be used as a substitute to represent any card needed to make the combination (or two jokers can be used to represent two such cards). In category A (single cards) jokers are themselves - the highest two cards in the ranking. In category J (special) jokers cannot be used as substitutes - the cards must be real.\nNote that there is no suit ranking, and that certain cards and combinations are therefore equal in rank. To play to a trick, it is necessary to play higher than the previous combination. Therefore between two equal combinations, whichever is played first to a trick prevents the other one from being played to the same trick.\nWhen a joker is used as a substitute it has exactly the same rank as the card it represents. So for example the triple 8-8-8 has exactly the same rank as 8-joker-joker. Neither can be played to beat the other. The same is true of full houses: for example 9-joker-joker-3-6 is equal in rank to 9-9-9-A-A.\nNote that jokers have zero scoring value, even if they were used to substitute for a king, ten or five in the play.\nThis page is maintained by John McLeod (john@pagat.com). \u00a9 John McLeod, 1996, 1999.

The offender, in this case, may have been previously acquitted or convicted following a trial on the merits by a legal system of a competent criminal jurisdiction. Double jeopardy arises when there is a prior criminal trial. In many states of the globe, the protection against double jeopardy is a constitutional right while in others, the statute law provides for the protection. Statutory modification, the basis of the principle in England, is the framework for reforms in several common law jurisdictions that allow post-acquittal trials in limited situations (Corns, 2003).\nThis paper explores the policy issues for and against this protection rule reform, statutory modification of the principle in England, and procedural safeguards for post-acquittal retrials. Some of the issues\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nCoffey, G. (2013). Post-Acquittal Retrials for Serious Offences in the Irish Criminal Justice\nProcess: Lessons from England and Wales.

On a very basic level, Double Jeopardy is a limitation in court proceedings that the same person cannot be tried for the same crime twice, regardless of the verdict or outcome of the first trial. But, as with all legal procedures and rules of order, there are exceptions to the rule. In cases where new evidence is found that can demonstrate a person's innocence, a trial is considered warranted because the outcome could not adversely effect the person already convicted. If however, the new evidence could prove an already determined innocent person guilty, then Double Jeopardy rules start being applicable. With the very broad nature of this topic, it is useful to demonstrate an understanding of\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nAlgona, Forrest G. \"Double Jeopardy, Acquittal Appeals, and the Law-Fact Distinction.\" Cornell Law Review.

This would mean that the criminal justice system in the country would have exercised a great level of injustice.\nDifferent Interests:\nThe double jeopardy clause should not be used to prohibit parallel state and federal prosecutions different units of governments may have different interests in an offense. These interests include the definition of an offense and enforcement of laws resulting in the improved the process of criminal justice. While the double jeopardy clause is used to protect an individual from embarrassment, anxiety and insecurity; using it to protect parallel state and federal prosecutions may be a means of promoting injustice.

On its face, the Fifth Amendment appears to be clear but there are nuances that are been interpreted over the years that make its application more intriguing including the possibility, that given certain circumstances, defendants can face double jeopardy.\nThe recognition that double jeopardy was a legal reality began when the U.S. Supreme Court rendered its decisions in Bartkus v. Illinois (Bartkus v. Illinois, 1959) and Abbate v. United States (Abbate v. United States, 1959). Beginning with these\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nAbbate v.

Dr. Murray administered a powerful drug called propofol - an anesthesia drug that is only supposed to be used in closely monitored hospital settings - to Michael Jackson to help him sleep.\nThe argument by the prosecution was that Dr. Murray did this even though he knew the dangers, and that he administered too much of the drug to Jackson, resulting in a fatal overdose.

It has two basic goals; to produce accurate results through fair procedure to prevent wrongful deprivation of interests and to make people feel the government treated them fairly by listening to their side of the story (Procedural Due Process). Due process requires fair procedures when governments take actions against citizens, whether it is the federal government or a state government that is taking action.\nDue process is divided into two categories, substantive due process and procedural due process (Due Process of Law - Substantive due Process, Procedural Due Process, Further Reading, 2013). Substantive law creates, defines, and regulates rights. Substantive due process makes the laws that give rights to citizens by due processes.

The most common categories of crime are crime against persons, white-collar crimes, and crimes against property. Moreover, crime is further categorized by the selected punishment for the offense such as misdemeanor, felony, and petty misdemeanor. A felony is regarded as the most serious offense that is punishable by imprisonment exceeding one year while misdemeanors are offenses that are punishable by imprisonment of a maximum of one year. This is primarily because they are less serious crimes that do not involve incarceration in prison (Schneider, n.d.). Actually, almost all misdemeanor sentences are usually served in a local or county jail. In contrast, petty misdemeanors are crimes that do not need imprisonment such as that are always punishable by a fine.\nCrimes against Persons and Crimes against\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nCrossman, A.

The American justice system has many commendable elements that are aligned to the objectives of a justice system. The trial system significantly addresses many point of subtlety and does a great job in its effort to uphold the rule of law. In the effort to deliver justice, it is important that the rights of the defendant be uphold. This paper seeks to shed light on three stages before the process of criminal trial, and how the rights of the defendant are catered for in each of the stages before trial commences. These stages include the information, arraignment and the subsequent hearings at pretrial.\nThe stage that precedes and leads to trial in a criminal case is called arraignment. Arraignment must be done\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nThree Strikes Laws From the\nherefore, by increasing the costs of imprisonment by the three strikes law, it is intended that there will be less crime. Marwell and Moody express several difficulties with the laws in the 24 states: Criminals are not always aware of the laws, at least not initially; repeat criminals can be expected to serve substantial prison terms even in the absence of the laws; almost all of the states already had habitual criminal statutes where criminals with prior convictions could be given lengthy sentences under the judge's discretion; the deterrent effect on homicides is limited in any case because the law most likely does not increase sanctions for homicides. However, the law may reduce homicides by deterring robberies and other felonies where homicides may take place; some criminals may limit their expected costs by taking evasive action, such as moving to another jurisdiction or to other areas of crime where the\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nTrends: Crime, the Police, and Civil Liberties\nGreg M.

However, these laws and orders have become controversial because they have ceded power to the executive branch and limited people's rights. Some examples of these limitations include restrictions on privacy, limitation of free speech and association rights, and limitation of religious freedom. While these actions were necessary to help prevent another attack, they are inappropriate since they compromise civil rights and checks and balances established in America's democracy. The federal government would have taken less drastic measures through reordering priorities of law enforcement instead of generating fundamental changes in law.\nWeek 5: Discussion\nIn the American judicial system, the Supreme Court reviews very few cases most of whom are appeals from lower courts.

In the event that a plea-bargain is reached, the case does not move forward to a trial but failure to offer enough evidence to establish a plea bargain will mean that the case goes on to trial (Criminal Justice System Handbook, 2009).\nTrials consist of a sequence of proceedings where the prosecutor presents evidence which will be used to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. In felony cases, the defendant is given chances to admit their innocence but there are also times where they are presented that they may dispute the validity of evidence that has been presented by the prosecutor. Felony cases normally entail the services of a jury who listen to the case proceedings together with the judge and then after careful assessment of the evidence that is presented; they\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nCriminal Justice.

Conclusion given at the end shows that the Criminal Justice System has more rights to the defendants; however, rights for victims are also increasing in several states.\nIt has been during the last two decades that the rights of crime victims started to be known in the law. Earlier, none of the crime victims had rights during the criminal justice process. For example, they did not have any right that could notify them of court trial or the arrest or release of the defendant. Further to that they had no right to be presented during the trial or other hearings, or to make a statement to the court at sentencing or at other proceedings (Emmet County).\nBut now, nations\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nEmmet County.

While the court's trend is moving away from applying the exclusionary rule in civil contexts, law enforcement agencies are increasingly relying on civil tools to attack crime. At the forefront of this movement is the use of civil forfeiture to seize the fruits and instrumentalities of the narcotics trade.

State, 829 S.W. 2d 407, 410-411).\n\"It is appellant's burden to not only preserve the alleged error for review, but to present a record of the alleged error sufficient for us to review it and determine if it was error and if so whether the defendant was harmed\" (Montoya v. State, 43 S.W.3d 568, 572).\nCredit Card Scam Conviction\nMultiple Counts of Identity Fraud\nThere is little doubt as to whether or not a person is subject to multiple violations of a state statute that makes it a crime to \"knowingly obtain, possess, use, or transfer a means of identification of financial information of another\" (Wash. 2006) if a person attempts to use a credit card that is not his or hers more than once. Such a person certainly is liable for multiple criminal counts. The logic that reinforces this assertion is quite clear. In most instances, states consider it a crime to attempt to utilize the financial information or some other means of identification of another -- when a person does so knowingly. Each time a person makes such an attempt, he or she is committing a crime. Moreover, there was a case that helped to establish this precedent in the early part of the last decade.

Patriot Act was passed because of the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. e realized that our current body of laws did not completely address the task of finding terrorists before they take action. The Patriot Act was passed to make it easier for us to protect ourselves from future terrorist acts. The Act has been controversial because although most people recognize the need to effectively prevent future attacks, some people feel the law has gone too far and infringed on civil liberties. Other critics contend that the law doesn't give government enough power (Doyle, 2002).\nThe Patriot Act makes various actions by the government when trying to identify who might be a terrorist easier to execute. It extends wiretapping to email, provides for nationwide permission to use wiretapping and related investigatory techniques rather than having to get those permissions on a\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nWhile obviously we have to protect ourselves from terrorism, I have some concerns about some of the provisions. I think that for the most part our legal system has functioned very well. I wonder if it's really necessary to suspend due process for an entire group of detainees without any checks and balances. Once a person has been detained under the Patriot Act, the government does not have to justify it or explain it, and they don't even have to tell the person's relatives where he or she is. In addition, the protection against double jeopardy has been of major importance in our country. Because of that part of the Constitution, police or other law enforcement agencies have to have solid evidence before arresting someone, and prosecutors must be sure they have a strong case before bringing someone to trial. If a person is acquitted, that person can get on with his or her life without worrying about being tried again. I personally think our legal system is up to the task of trying and convicting terrorists without taking these steps.\nDoyle, Charles. CRS Report for Congress. April 18, 2002.

In the 19th century, judges gained greater control over juries and the role of juries became what it is currently; hearing evidence presented on both sides and determining the guilt or innocence of the accused.\nThe advantages of the jury system lie in the foundational elements articulated and supported by amendments and the Supreme Court. The Sixth Amendment provides that \"in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial\" (Landsman & Hastings 1992). A speedy trial was emphasized to avoid the accused languishing in prison for extended periods of time prior to a trial, or have the accused fate put off for an indeterminate amount of time.

Measures of lifetime customer profitability are difficult to accurately define and measure over time (Wright, iebe, 2010). The majority of companies attain the first two of these three steps yet stop short of being able to capture lost profits due to attrition (Wright, iebe, 2010).

Where so many validate gender roles according to sexuality, this discussion of lesbian and feminist identity yields something of a less certain correlation. Rather, by an inclination to overcome the limitations imposed upon the female identity, there are distinctive characteristics which have been adopted by some within the lesbian community distinguishing these as apolitical-social lesbians. Driven by personal identification, and therefore required to pursue a social agenda which contrasts with mainstream conventions, apolitical-social lesbians may or may not be distinguishable by observable gender-role characteristics.

In some cases, it is possible to reform their behavior but in other cases, juvenile offenders already take on the hardened attitude normally associated with adult offenders. As a result, some juveniles are too far gone to reach through non-punitive methods by the time they reach high school age.\nIn terms of the protections afforded by American due process principles, those principles are essential to the fair administration of criminal justice and they provide a much more fair judicial system than those of most other countries (Dershowitz 2002).\nHowever, in terms of the distinction between due process with respect to suspending concepts of guilt in crimes perpetrated by juveniles, the strict application of punitive sentences for criminal conduct may sometimes be more appropriate.

If a person of good character is called to testify before a formal investigative body, a reasonable listener is therefore required to open their mind to anything the witness may claim. This process of 'reciprocation' requires reasonable jury members and judges to accept as trustworthy the testimony of a reputable person, even if the events described seem incredible and go beyond their own personal experiences.\nUnfortunately, the days of small village tribunals where jury members knew most of the participants in a trial, and therefore the reputations and trustworthiness of witnesses, are generally a thing of the past in the United States and much of the world.\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nCornell University.

Critics of the law have argued that the law infringes on the constitutional rights of sex offenders after they have been released from prison; however, it is my position that the law is constitutional and an excellent deterrent to stop repeat offenses by convicted sexual offenders.\nThis report is an attempt to understand the constitutionality of Megan's Law. Megan's Law was the state of New Jersey's attempt to control repeat sex offenders from assaulting women and children. The law eventually became a national campaign to control sex offenders as all fifty states have since adopted at least some parts if not all of the original New Jersey statute. However, because we live in a society where rights go to both criminal and non-criminal alike, there are several legal battles\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nAhearn, Laura A. (2004).

The law stated that because there was a small number of individuals who engage in violent sexual predation, and that these persons have a high likelihood of repeating their crimes but because they did not have a mental disease or defect which could allow for their commitment to a treatment facility, there was a need for a way to keep these individuals in confinement. As a result the Kansas legislature enacted the Sexually Violent Predators Act which \"sets forth a procedure for the involuntary commitment of individuals who had been convicted and incarcerated for a sexually violent offense.\" (King 1438) In effect the state of Kansas wanted a way to keep violent sexual predators incarcerated beyond their sentences and created\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nHunt, Derald, and Devallis Rutledge.

Indeed, this stretches all the way back to the founding of this nation. That founding was spurred and motivated in large part by the lack of freedom and representation that the British colonists felt they were receiving with the British crown. Over the years, one of the subtopics that has developed is negative liberty. Generally, negative liberty is the idea that someone has the right to not be bothered or pestered by people or authorities. hile the idea of negative liberty sounds good and should generally be extended to people with no question, there are very specific instances where the concept of negative liberty is abused and should not be extended because it would indeed be wrong.\nNegative liberty is a subject that has evolved and changed over the years.

Southwest has a serious responsibility to keep its passengers and crews safe, and they lost the trust of at least some people because of their callous disregard for safety. That is a huge moral responsibility, and Southwest has never really acknowledged their failure, which is an even larger ethical concern, it seems.

Currently, many studios and companies have entered into a revenue sharing agreement with sites like YouTube to help make up for the potential in lost revenue that the illegally posted content presents. In this structure, studios present advertisements before the posted video content where ad revenues are split between both YouTube and the studios themselves. This has become a common way of trying to recoup some of the lost revenues due to video sharing sites while also opening up new avenues for companies to promote their products online on these sites.

Smaller airlines like Northwest Airlines have had even more problems, and yet Northwest in particular persists and so far has voided going out of business in spite of a series of threats, including poor traveler performance, lowered expectations in business terms, labor problems, and so on.\nBefore deregulation in the 1970s, many had speculated as to how it would affect the structure of the airline industry, and the prevailing view was that deregulation would lead to a substantial consolidation of the industry, leaving some four to six large systems, each centered around one of the major prederegulation trunks. It was believed, for example, that American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines, United Airlines, and TWA would be among the survivors because of financial strength or protected international franchises.\u2026\u2026 [Read More]\nCastro, Janice, 'Get 'Em While They Last,\" Time (July 22, 1991), p. 49.\nForm 8-K for Northwest Airlines Corp.

        "raw_content": "Home Creating a positive environment\tAn interview with CEO Gordon MacLelland\nThis interview was carried out by Richard Cashman of the Sporting Influencer on Saturday 11th November 2017.\nThe full and original interview can be found in 2 parts here:\nhttps://thesportinginfluencerblog.wordpress.com/gordon-maclelland/\nhttps://thesportinginfluencerblog.wordpress.com/gordon-maclelland-part-2/\nCan you give us a bit of background information on yourself?\nI am Gordon MacLelland. I am currently based in Yorkshire and have been involved in sport all my life as a player and a coach. I played county cricket as a schoolboy and was an England trialist at U19 level in rugby union. For the last 20 years I have had a coaching career that has encompassed all age levels from 7 year olds to adults. I was coaching men\u2019s rugby union at the age of 23 after injury curtailed a playing career and have coached rugby, football and cricket to juniors up to the age of 18.\nI have a BA/Hons degree in Sports Science from University College Chester and a PGCE from Lancaster University.\nI\u2019m a qualified teacher and have been a Director of Sport at an independent prep school in the UK for the last 10 years. I have also worked in schools in New Zealand.\nHow would you define a parent(s) role within the youth sports environment?\nUndoubtedly the parent has a significant role to play. They provide the most emotional support and are key role models in any young person\u2019s life and can have the greatest impact. They also provide the most financial and organisational support in most cases from transport, buying kit, finding the right sport and coaching and the weekly logistics getting children from A to B. That is why we believe so passionately in what we are doing in supporting them.\nWhat are the benefits of embracing parental involvement within youth sports?\nThis generation of parents are different to before and want to be involved in far more aspects of their child\u2019s life. We need to recognise this and embrace it. Many are keen to help and support but are unsure of the best way to do this. Many are peaceable human beings who just want what is best for their child and need direction in how they can best support. If we can engage parents then the benefits are huge. A positive training and match day environment, coaches and parents focussing on delivering similar messages(no confusion for the child) and more importantly everyone working together(no us and them).\nThere can be major benefits for the clubs from parents engaged positively. Help with transport, fundraising, food and drink, work on social media and crucially creating an environment where many more people will want to come and join a club creating such a positive experience.\nWhat have we tried to do here at WWPIS to help support clubs, coaches and parents?\nWe recognised that in the world there are very few dedicated websites just for parents in sport. We wanted them to feel valued and create a portal where they could go to access information without having to trawl the internet.\nWe also felt that many failed campaigns by clubs and governing bodies had centred on preaching to parents as opposed to really engaging them and we wanted to create a neutral social media channel on Facebook and Twitter that presented information in a variety of different formats but crucially with a degree of empathy towards them and not in a threatening or shaming way. The social media side is important for us as many clubs and organisations give out some material at the beginning of a season much of it along the right lines but we wanted to provide a service giving those messages out throughout the year to reinforce positive messages and behaviour.\nOur pocket book for parents that can be made bespoke to organisations stemmed from this. It is a proper published piece of work as opposed to a sheet of A4 and we feel that parents who get it feel like some care has gone into the information. Although only a 50 page pocket book the difficulty for us was creating a product that was short, easy for everyone to understand and crucially in a price range affordable by all. For us we want to work with clubs and organisations not take over from them, hence we are delighted when people change our cover and the images within our book to suit their organisation. It adds a really personal touch.\nWhen you purchase \u2018Great Sports Parenting\u2019, you will also receive an exclusive code which gives you access to even more information about this very important area of sport on our website in our members area.\nThis exclusive material has been written especially for sporting parents by Nino Severino, the former British No.1 Tennis Coach and member of Team GB 2012 Olympics (as a member of the Great Britain Tennis Olympic Team.)\nNino has been coaching junior as well as senior athletes for over 30 years and has a wealth of experience in junior coaching and parent support. The juniors who have benefited from Nino\u2019s coaching and knowledge have been at all levels, from club, county and regional to world class.\nThe material you will get access to has been specifically developed for parents in sport and is an invaluable source of information which could make all the difference to your child\u2019s enjoyment and performance in their chosen sport.\nWe feel in its price range alongside the book, website and social media, it will be the largest global resource in its price range dedicated to supporting parents in sport.\nWe have also created three presentations that we deliver, one for organisations, one for coaches and one for parents. We also run bespoke workshops as well with the aim being to try and align all three of these key stakeholders. Without these three key areas working well together many systems in this area are destined to fail.\nWhat challenges have you faced when attempting to embrace, educate and involve sports parents?\nThe reality is that many adults do not like to be told what to do. Many do not like to be preached at and the biggest challenge is finding ways of engaging them in a fun, friendly and none threatening or shaming way. We believe that we have a few strategies to make this work, I am not sharing them on here or no one will want to hear us talk.\nWe believe that in this area external voices are better, people who can be honest and open without the parents feeling under pressure or worried about their child being selected or having to face people from within the club week in and week out. We have also seeked out exciting games for the adults to play and have fun during their presentation so they really feel like they can buy into the process.\nAs a result we try not to use \u2018educate\u2019 in any of our material and much prefer to say we are supporting parents. We need to remove this \u2018us and them\u2019 tag.\nHave you seen a difference in youth athletes when youth sports parents positively embrace their role by supporting the player also the whole team?\nOf course. A positive culture that focuses on the things that matter can lend itself to an amazing environment being created for the player by the coaches and by the parents on the sidelines. Notice we use the word positive culture here. We are not going to say winning is not important; of course it is and can be to many people. However, if a culture does not use this as its major and only success criteria then we can expect to see a major shift in attitude.\nA club culture should be focussing on processes, creating an environment where learning and skill acquisition can thrive. The culture should also be positively praising hard work, commitment, great communication, resilience, self-organisation and decision making. If we can get coaches and parents to understand, and see this being rewarded then maybe the focus can shift and we are more likely to see positive behaviour from all parties.\nWhat advice would you give coaches that are unsure/nervous about preventing negative behaviour/comments from the sideline and educate parents within youth sports?\nI feel very sorry for young coaches and those who are volunteers in particular in this area. With experience and as their communication skills improve they are far more likely to tackle these areas.\nHowever, clubs and organisations need to take the lead, the coaches should just be setting their own example on a consistent message that has already been communicated by people higher and more experienced people than them. There should be messages, policies and procedures in place that allow the coach to positively reinforce the club culture without the fear of any backlash from parents.\nThere are a number of things that coaches can do to help this relationship. However, please take a look at the infographic below which gives a basic framework for things for coaches to think about.\nFor those parents unaware of their influential role, what advice would you give parents?\nYou are the key person in their life. Never underestimate how big a role model you are. You have the opportunity to help shape your child and their love of sport for many years to come. You should also be enjoying it along the way \u2013 it will not last forever.\nTry to improve your knowledge of what your child is going through, please visit us at www.parentsinsport.co.uk. If you are armed with the correct information I genuinely hope and believe that you will make better and more informed choices from keeping things in perspective, the car journey home and match day on the touchline. I personally have certainly moderated my own behaviour with my own children over the last couple of years and it has been a far more enjoyable experience.\nWhat types of behaviours/mannerisms/comments would you encourage parents to demonstrate?\nPositive, Positive, Positive! Don\u2019t over talk a match before, during and after. A child doesn\u2019t think or behave like adults unless we make them or they have seen it from us.\nDisplay positive body language at all times, your child will make mistakes and there will be moments of failure. They need to see you being happy and consistent no matter how you are feeling on the inside.\nAfter matches or training, leave them alone unless they want to talk to you. It is their game and if they want to they will talk to you about it I promise! Please try not to give them the Match of the Day debriefs on the way to the car and in the car on the way home.\nYou are their parent, enjoy it, be a great role model and have a wonderful sporting experience together.\nAn interview with CEO Gordon MacLelland was last modified: January 31st, 2019 by Gordon MacLelland\nCEOGordon MacLellandInterview\nVIDEO \u2013 Not about being a champion, but about getting the most out of sport",

        "title": "Who are you impacting? - Parkes Christian School",
        "raw_content": "Who are you impacting?\nI wish I could introduce everyone to an ex-student of mine. James left Snowy Mountains Christian School the same year Lynne and I did. He went on to Year 11 at the local high school as the Christian school only went to Year 10.\nEvery time a student moves on to another school, for whatever reason, my feelings would either be I hope they make it or I am sure they will make it. James definitely fitted into the first category. He was a bit of a larrikin, a bit of a flirt but a whole lot of fun. The only argument that I could never win with him was whenever he was late to class. His excuse would always be the same, \u201cI was helping (insert girl\u2019s name eg Emma, Danni, etc)\u201d. And sure enough a few minutes later the previously mentioned young girl would come into class and it was obvious that she had been crying. James had spent most of his time talking to her and encouraging her. James had a big heart and was always ready to help anyone. James loved his rugby union. He had made representative teams and was identified by the Brumbies as a potential recruit of the future.\nJames left school at the end of Year 11 and eventually moved to Canberra. Although James\u2019 parents had a very strong faith, around this time James started to lose connection with God. However, he found himself a church and a young pastor named Josh. Josh took him under his wing and took James into his home for a few months. James thrived! He was in a family environment where everyone just thought the world of him, young and old alike.\nJames finally moved out into a share house with some friends. He was still going to church, still reading his Bible and still had contact with his pastor.\nAbout two weeks ago James was found one evening sitting at his desk with his head on his Bible. James was 20 years of age and died from a massive heart attack. It was later discovered that he had an underlying heart condition that no-one was aware of.\nLynne and I attended this young man\u2019s funeral last Friday. To be honest we were somewhat anxious about the funeral, particularly of one so young. It was held in James\u2019 home town of Nimmitabel. Well over 200 people attended. It was an incredibly encouraging and uplifting service. But it was also very reassuring to hear how this young man had found his personal connection with God.\nAs a teacher you sometimes wonder about whether you have made an impact on any of your students. But to hear James\u2019 story was very re-affirming for everyone that had input into his life. One comment that was not made during the service was that James\u2019 death was a waste. Most importantly, it was said that it was a life under-lived. When you saw and heard the impact that James had on so many around him, it certainly was not a waste. And yes, how many more people could he have impacted if he had lived.\nAnother positive from our experience was the opportunity to re-connect with James\u2019 classmates and to find out what they were up to. But it was also a chance to talk to them about where they were in their walk with God. All of them were honest, some were going strong, while others were struggling, but the discussion was open and encouraging.\nI want to leave you with these questions:\nWho is impacting you?\nWhere do you find connection with God?\nWho can I talk to about my journey with God?",

The imagery shows the SS's murderous activities inside Belsen, and also reveal another disturbing side to them relaxing in their barracks or visiting their families and loved ones.\nThe book is an absorbing insight into how the SS played a key part in murdering, torturing and starving to death tens of thousands of inmates. During the latter part of the war as many as 500 a day were perishing from the long-term effects of starvation as well as the resultant diseases. There is a wealth of information on how the camp was run and all aspects of life inside the camp for the inmates are covered.\nThe final episode of Belsen is witnessed by British soldiers of the Second Army, who were completely unprepared for what they encountered when they arrived at the gates of the camp. Inside the camp they found some 10,000 unburied dead in addition to the mass graves already containing 40,000 more corpses.\nThis latest Images of War book captures the shocking story of those that ran Belsen, those that perished, and the troops that liberated the living from their hell.\nThis provides a shocking insight into the brutal regime that the Belsen camp was part of. The story is told with a great many rare and previously unpublished images. This is a terrible story that should be told and told again as graphically as possible, that it may not happen again.\nNot an easy read, but I believe a necessary one to gain an holistic understanding of the Second World War.\nHard-hitting and doesn't hold back.\nIan Baxter has compiled a horrific but necessary record of Belsen and its liberation., and he has let many of the pictures speak for themselves. This is the sort of book that is necessary today to remind people what happened and remind us how easily it could happen again. This is a testament to those murdered and the reasons why we should never forget.",

        "raw_content": "Spanish \u2018real time\u2019 reporting requirement\nSpain has published in the Official Gazette of 6 December 2017 a Royal Decree related to the modernization, improvement and promotion of the use of electronic means in the management of the Value Added Tax (VAT).\nAmong others, the obligation to file - on a \u201creal time\u201d basis - the data corresponding to all transactions included at the VAT books is introduced. This is referred to as the so-called, \u201cImmediate Information System\u201d (SII). This new filing is to be made electronically through the website of the Spanish Tax Agency. Spain had already communicated this was on the agenda but an implementation mid July 2017 was no longer expected.\nThe new obligation will apply as from the 1st of July 2017, but there is also a reporting obligation for transactions which occurred as from the 1st of January 2017. The information corresponding to the first half year of 2017 must be reported between July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017.\nThe new reporting requirement will apply to companies filing monthly VAT returns, more precisely;\nThose considered as \u201clarge entrepreneurs\u201d for VAT purposes (turnover in Spain over EUR 6.000.000), or\nThose applying the so called REDEME (special monthly VAT refund scheme), or\nThose belonging to VAT Groups.\nThe information to provide is the information that is currently included in the register books, but also additional data is required to be reported, such as the type of invoice, tax period of the transactions etc.\nThe deadline for the filing of data will be:\n4 working days from the date of issuance or reception of the invoice. For the period between the 1st of July 2017 and the 31st of December 2017, the maximum period is extended to 8 working days.\n8 working days if invoices issued by client or third person.\nIn any case, the information, including the register of errors, must be provided before the 16th of the following month.\nOn the other hand, the deadline for filing the periodic VAT returns (form 303) is extended with 10 days, so the new deadline is the 30th of the month following the tax period (last day of February for reporting period January 2017). When SII is filed there is no longer an obligation to file the VAT registers (form 340), the annual summary VAT return (form 390) and the annual statement of transactions with third parties (form 347).\nPincvision is researching the new reporting requirements and will seek for a solution to generate the required XML in case our customers (which are registered for VAT in Spain and are obliged to file the new report) are not able to generate the xml from their ERP system. Draft instructions for software developers for the generation of the XML have been issued by the Spanish tax authorities at the website http://www.agenciatributaria.es/AEAT.desarrolladores/SII.html",

        "raw_content": "Additional floors proposed for Water Street resi\nThe partnership behind the Residence development in Liverpool\u2019s Water Street has submitted plans to add an additional two storeys to the scheme.\nThe Residence is being developed by a joint venture between long-term business associates Craig Blackwell of Prospect Capital and Martin Willcocks of Willcocks & Willcocks. The JV is also behind the proposed Ovatus residential scheme in Old Hall Street.\nNinety six apartments were approved last year for the site at 8 Water Street, an empty 73,000 sq ft office block between Martins Bank and Oriel Chambes and work is under way. The fresh proposal will take the total number of apartments in the scheme to 118 and the building\u2019s height to seven storeys.\nPlans for the 1970s building, which formerly housed Aviva and was sold for \u00a33.7m by Columbia Threadneedle in 2016, include a complete overhaul of the building\u2019s fa\u00e7ade, the installation of feature lighting throughout and a roof terrace. Works are ahead of schedule on lower floors, the JV said, with completion expected in December.\nCraig Blackwell said: \u201cThe work on the site for the current 96 apartments is all ahead of schedule and will retain the unique porthole styling in line with the architect\u2019s original contemporary and minimalist vision. This building sits in the heart of one of the great streets in the business district, with views of the world famous waterfront.\n\u201cWe now plan to add a roof terrace so residents can enjoy a fantastic space with breathtaking views of the World Heritage site. Due to demand we have gone into planning for an additional 22 apartments.\u201d\nThe apartments currently range from studios to two-bedrooms with Ascot Property Investments acting as master agent for off plan sales.\nBoth development partners have recently moved their companies into remaining commercial space at the building, along with Ascot and others.\nOctober 20, 2017 at 4:06 pm By Lovely\nPossibly Liverpool\u2019s worst building, should be replaced by Hotel and/or residential tower. Built in the 1970\u2019s so must have issues with the fabric of the structure too. Investors beware!\nOctober 22, 2017 at 8:08 pm By JK\nCan\u2019t agree that this is the worst building at all. It\u2019s a great example of its type . Love the windows. Will make for a great apartment building\nOctober 23, 2017 at 10:21 am By JA\nThis extension is a monstrosity and will ruin the over all look of an otherwise nice looking building.\nThis is yet another example of a developer seeking to make maximum profit at the expense of the surrounding area. This should not be allowed. Development for development sake should not be permitted without question.\nOctober 23, 2017 at 2:14 pm By Craig Earley",

        "title": "For the Love of Neighbor by D. L. Mayfield",
        "raw_content": "Next Article: Two Friends, Two Prophets Read\nAbraham Joshua Heschel and Martin Luther King Jr.\n\u201cRacism is Satanism.\u201d It was this conviction that launched Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel into the American civil rights movement.\nI live with friends who accurately fit two Christian stereotypes: Conservative evangelicals as referenced in the article, and \"liberal social justice\" Christians. I love, respect and listen to both sides. What I find helpful, is reminding myself that individuals and governments must make choices. Oversimplified, I am responsible for my neighbors but I can't help everyone I would like to. And in the same way, there are practical limits to immigration policy. Even with all of the resources of the US, we must make choices. That brings me to my knees.\n\u201cWhen Grandma was ten, Martin Luther King Jr. was killed.\u201d My seven-year-old daughter likes to bring up this fact at random times. It startles me, her easy connection to a death five decades ago. I never told her this, exactly. I did read her a book about Ruby Bridges, the first black girl to integrate an all-white school in 1960, noting that Bridges, who is alive and well, is the exact same age as my mother. When my daughter learned about King during Black History Month at her school last year, she must have remembered this detail and fused the dates, linking King to the beloved grandmother whose life is her lens into history.\nMy own memories of learning about Martin Luther King Jr. are hazier. I remember being told, when I was very young, that he was an adulterer. I remember absorbing the belief from my school books that he was a man who helped to end racism in my country a long, long time ago. And in college, at a Bible school, I remember analyzing his \u201cLetter from a Birmingham Jail\u201d as a masterpiece of rhetoric, with little attention paid to the content or to the awareness that I and my tribe might fit into the exact audience to whom King was writing. I was disconnected both from the power of his faith-fueled nonviolent action and to the immediacy of his words to our present context.\nYet the older I get, the more deeply I find myself moved by this man, especially his bedrock belief in neighbor-love. \u201cLove your neighbor\u201d \u2013 the words sound so simplistic, yet coming from a man who practiced them at great cost to himself, they are no mere platitude. What does it take to truly love your neighbor? In answering that question, King turned the parable of the Good Samaritan on its head, calling Christians to more than mere acts of charity. He said, \u201cWe must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life\u2019s highway.\u201d The \u00adChristian, King says, not only takes care of those in trouble but looks to the systems actively oppressing them.\nA 108-year-old Bhutanese refugee in Austin, Texas\nA Modern-Day Jericho Road\nWe need such an interpretation again today, shouted from the rooftops by people who have spent their life\u2019s work both tending to the beaten and demanding that the Jericho Road become a place of safety. While King spoke primarily about poverty in the United States, surely there is no limit to the geography of neighbor-love. As the world has become increasingly connected by trade, war, migration, and social media, our responsibility to our global neighbor has grown too.\nYet that\u2019s not the way many of my fellow believers see it. American Christians \u2013 or, to be more precise, white evangelical Christians \u2013 are now world-famous for their overwhelming support for building a wall between the United States and Mexico and deporting the undocumented people who are already here. These attitudes form part of a broader picture: 76 percent of white evangelicals approve of Trump\u2019s travel ban on Muslims, and 69 percent are \u201cvery concerned\u201d about domestic Islamic extremism (only a third of non-religious Americans feel the same way). My people \u2013 the ones who raised me to go and be a light and a witness for Christ among the nations \u2013 are more likely than any other Christian group to say they have low respect for Muslims.\nWhat would Martin Luther King Jr. say to people who claim to follow God while spearheading a movement aimed at closing borders, building walls, separating families, and cold-shouldering the persecuted and destitute? His words seem as relevant as ever: \u201cOne of the great tragedies of man\u2019s long trek along the highway of history has been the limiting of neighborly concern to tribe, race, class, or nation.\u201d\nI\u2019ll admit that King\u2019s convictions on this point did not make sense to me either until I experienced firsthand what the effects of our still-segregated society are. In my early twenties, I found myself working with refugee families in my city of Portland, Oregon. I became sucked into their lives on the periphery of my glowing, busy city: the dingy apartment complexes with predatory landlords, the under-resourced and understaffed schools, the endless tangles of bureaucracy in order to get basic needs met. The more I hung out in refugee communities, the more I saw \u201cthe Other America\u201d that King spoke about: the America that lives in poverty and economic despair.\nGetting to know refugees also brought me into contact with others who were disproportionately affected by poverty. I started to second-guess what I had absorbed about the American Dream: that anyone could make something of themselves if only they tried hard enough. I learned how segregated our school systems are, how segregated our cities are (on purpose, through practices like redlining), and how the criminal justice system disproportionately targets and incarcerates communities of color. I met so many people who had been left by the wayside of the Jericho Road.\n\u201cIf the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority.\u201d \u2014Martin Luther King Jr.\nStory by story, neighbor by neighbor, I began to see. Refugees, immigrants, black men and Native American women, families suffering under generational poverty \u2013 they all became my teachers. Over time I began to understand the systemic nature of their experiences, and my own role and responsibility to bear witness.\nI know how the recent travel bans have devastated lives, because I know people for whom the bans are personal: families who have survived hell on earth and who have beat insurmountable odds to resettle in the United States (where less than 1 percent of all refugees end up) \u2013 only to realize that their dreams of being reunited with family members are now on hold indefinitely. Last year one young woman showed me pictures of her fianc\u00e9, who lives and works in Germany, giggling as she talked about her hopes for their life together. Now she is caught in an impossible dilemma: since her fianc\u00e9 is a national of a country currently on the US travel ban list, there is little to no possibility he will be able to join her. Does she stay here with her siblings and mother and father (who is paralyzed due to a sniper\u2019s bullet), or does she say goodbye in order to be with the man she loves?\nAnother friend of mine, who has lived in the United States for almost two years, tells me she has been sleeping too much during the day. Her arms hurt and she has dark shadows under her eyes. When I ask what is wrong, she shows me pictures of her elderly mother, in her eighties, lying very sick in a hospital across the world. My friend cannot leave America to visit her until she gets US citizenship, which takes five years of residency to attain. Nor will our country give her mother a travel visa. My friend feels trapped, stuck in her apartment, cooking food for her children and her neighbors, going to English class, fighting to start over \u2013 all the while mourning the reality that she will not be able to say goodbye to her mother in person.\nI sit in my friends\u2019 apartments; they serve me food and try to smile. Then I go home and see Facebook posts from Christian friends and family members gleeful about building border walls and banning entire nations from immigrating based on religion. How can all this energy and passion be spent on drawing lines between which people do and do not belong? Without my neighbors and their stories of anguish and hope, I would never recognize the Jericho Road conditions in my own country. For that, I am grateful. And heartbroken.\nBhutanese refugees using a food stamp card at a grocery store in Austin, Texas\nA Burning House?\nAccording to the United Nations, in 2016 over 65.2 million people, more than half of them children, were forcibly displaced as a result of violence, conflict, persecution, or lack of human rights. Despite the horror that these statistics represent, the United States is on track to resettle less than half of the lowest proposed number of refugee cases in the history of the refugee resettlement program. This program was created after World War II in part to atone for past sins such as denying visas to Jews looking to escape the Holocaust. Now, as the program dwindles, I fear that we as a country will have to atone for our omission in the eyes of a just and loving God.\nThe day before he was assassinated, King phoned his church and gave them the title of his sermon: \u201cWhy America May Go to Hell.\u201d While we can never know what exactly he planned to preach, the title strikes me as sadly relevant to the American church in 2018. As King so eloquently said, \u201cIf the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority. If the church does not actively participate in the struggle for peace and for economic and racial justice, it will forfeit the loyalty of millions and cause men everywhere to say that it has atrophied its will.\u201d\nThrough my work with refugee families, I have been pushed to the limits of compassion and challenged to think about my own role and the role of my community in creating such a broken Jericho Road. I can reach out and touch it with my fingers \u2013 the ways my religion and my country have added to the violence in the world. America is built on empire, said King, but Jesus built on love. We have a lot more building to do.\nKing spent the last years of his life building coalitions between sometimes unlikely groups in the pursuit of a moral revival focused on the issues affecting the poor: black, white, and immigrant: \u201cI think it is necessary for us to realize that we have moved from the era of civil rights to the era of human rights\u2026 when we see that there must be a radical redistribution of economic and political power.\u201d While today\u2019s global refugee crisis was not a challenge he faced, it\u2019s clear where his sympathies lay: he worked with migrants in the United States and even sent Cesar Chavez a telegram saying that their \u201cseparate struggles are really one.\u201d\nIn his \u201cLetter from a Birmingham Jail,\u201d King wrote about giving thanks that \u201cnoble souls from the ranks of organized religion have broken loose from the paralyzing chains of conformity and joined us as active partners in the struggle for freedom,\u201d calling these Christians who risked offending the status quo \u201cthe spiritual salt that has preserved the true meaning of the gospel in these troubled times.\u201d But right up to the end of his life, he struggled with the chasm between the stated values of American Christians and how they actually lived and loved their neighbors. \u201cAre we integrating into a burning house?\u201d he asked himself and others. Sometimes I am tempted to ask the same question. As I ask my fellow Christians to welcome immigrants and refugees, to take care of the sojourner and the widow and the orphan, I long for a new understanding of hospitality in our nation, starting from within our churches.\nA resident of Austin, Texas, shares a meal with Bhutanese friends.\nLoving Tomorrow\u2019s Neighbors\nWhen I was my daughter\u2019s age I wanted to be a missionary. I wanted to do big things for God, and this seemed like the grandest gesture one could make: to leave your family behind, sail off into another world, and save everyone. My life took a few twists and turns, but when I was twenty I found myself in a foreign country for a few months, testing the waters to see if I could make it for the long haul. I loved the experience of being a foreigner \u2013 the new food, the new culture, the excitement of difference \u2013 but sometimes I would be shocked. Like when one of my beloved hosts made an offhand and derogatory comment about the Roma (\u201cgypsies\u201d) in her city. I protested that it was wrong to put down an entire group of people. My host looked at me calmly and asked, \u201cBut what about the way you white Americans treated black people?\u201d I was stunned silent.\nThis kind of learning, while painful, is vital. Some days I\u2019m undone by the changes that refuse to happen, by the daily impossibilities my nearest neighbors face just to get through each day.\n\u201cI can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be.\u201d \u2014Martin Luther King Jr.\nI am learning, too, not to be afraid of owning my piece in the story of violence and inhospitality. If the American church stands idly by while our nation closes its doors to the most vulnerable of God\u2019s children, we might well be on our way to becoming that irrelevant country club.\nAnd yet, as I look at my daughter, at the children she goes to school with, the books she reads, and how she makes sense of the world, I have hope. I pray that as she connects the dots \u2013 between herself and Martin Luther King, between pioneers like Ruby Bridges and her friends from Somalia, Mexico, and Syria \u2013 these connections will continue to build her capacity to love her neighbor, even in the midst of fearful times.\nAnd I have faith in a God who saves us from our sins, the God who wants to redeem everyone: the beaten and battered on life\u2019s highway, the Levites and priests who ignore them, and all of us who are caught up in the structure of suffering and guilt that is the Jericho Road.\nPhotographs reproduced by permission of Mary Kang\nContributed By D.

        "raw_content": "The Board of Directors of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system just approved a truly progressive proposal to purchase 90% of the transit system's electricity from renewable sources by 2021. In addition to the win for air quality and the fight against global climate change, it should save BART $173 million dollars over its current energy costs. BART's ability to buy its energy directly from suppliers and choose those who offer renewably-sourced electricity was made possible by a new state law in California. BART is the transit system that serves San Francisco and the East Bay in California.\nWhy is this news for Montgomery County, Maryland? Because it isn't. To my knowledge, there is no plan in the works to source 90% of our very own METRO's electricity supply from renewable energy sources. Why not? According to various sources, METRO is looking to fill a budget gap of $500 million dollars. That's not chump change. If the example of BART holds, METRO could potentially save tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars by directly purchasing its electricity from providers of renewably-sourced electricity.\nPunishing METRO Workers\nMeanwhile, back in Virginia elected officials are not looking to renewable energy, wind and solar, as a potential way to address METRO's financial needs. No, typically, the proposal of Virginia Republicans to the need for a dedicated funding source for METRO is to take pay, benefits, and power away from METRO workers, the ones who are union members, of course. Virginia's House majority leader, Del. M. Kirkland Cox (R - Colonial Heights) has praised the proposal of House Rep. Barbara Comstock (R - Virginia) to weaken workers\u2019 pension guarantees, cap overtime pay and freeze Metro\u2019s personnel-related expenses for five years. Comstock's proposal includes a new governing board that would have the power to unilaterally revise union agreements and contracts with suppliers.\nIn exchange for this financial punishment of METRO workers, Virginia would provide $25 million a year for METRO, which is far less than the $150 million from the state that METRO has requested. METRO is looking for $500 million a year in dedicated funding from Virginia, DC, and Maryland in order to maintain safety and reliability. That $500 million figure represents METRO's estimate of the extent to which it has been underfunded in the past.\nBut What About Safety?\nVirginia Governor Terry McAuliffe commissioned a study by Former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood who, among other things, concluded that METRO's labor costs are about average for comparable systems nationwide. The main problem is that the infrastructure is aging and needs to be replaced and METRO doesn't have the funding it needs for that.\nWhy do I get the feeling that Republicans in Virginia simply are not serious about supporting safety and reliability at METRO? But they never miss an opportunity to take something away from working Americans. Who needs safe and reliable public transit anyways? We all know that the important people are driven around in their limousines. By the way, M. Kirkland Cox has been a member of the VA House of Delegates since 1990 and Barbara Comstock a member of the VA House of Delegates and Congress since 2010. They've been around long enough to have made a difference - how come they're never held responsible for the failings of METRO, a public agency? We need to start electing public officials who are genuinely committed to public transit and pursue truly progressive solutions to our public transit problems.\nHal Ginsberg commented on Just a Progressive Idea 2018-01-04 08:44:26 -0500\nGood post Susan. I agree with your take. The divisive tactics of Virginia\u2019s Republican legislators are mean-spirited, anti-labor, and anti-public transportation.",

The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on the investigation.\nWisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel issued a statement Thursday applauding the courage of officers who responded to the shootings and said the fallen officer will be forever remembered as a hero.\nThe Everest Police website listed Weiland as a field training officer and member of a task force for internet crimes against children. His LinkedIn page said he had also worked as a narcotics detective for the Marathon County Sheriff's Department, and as a police officer and corrections officer for Marathon City and Marathon County.\nWisconsin Officer, 3 Others Killed in Shooting Spree",

        "raw_content": "Pelosi said she believes Democrats could take back the House in 2014. | REUTERS\nPelosi: 'I'm here on a mission'\nBy ANNA PALMER and JOHN BRESNAHAN\nNancy Pelosi isn\u2019t going anywhere.\nWhile many thought the California Democrat would step down as House minority leader after this Congress, Pelosi confidants now believe she will remain atop House leadership through 2016 and maybe even longer.\nPelosi herself won\u2019t tip her hand about her plans. But she doesn\u2019t appear to be contemplating retirement.\n\u201cI\u2019m not here on a shift. I\u2019m here on a mission \u2014 and when my work is done, that\u2019s when I will leave,\u201d Pelosi said in a recent interview with POLITICO.\n( QUIZ: Do you know Nancy Pelosi?)\nPelosi declared the main reason she chose to stay put the past two years is to see Obamacare, which she had a strong hand in crafting and pushing through Congress, implemented successfully. Pelosi, like other Democrats, has publicly complained about the disastrous online rollout of the program, but she remains convinced it will turn out well in the long run.\nOne thing is for sure \u2014 Pelosi\u2019s power and influence among her colleagues has returned to levels not seen since she served as speaker. Her position in the Democratic caucus \u2014 already strong \u2014 was further bolstered during the recent government shutdown and debt ceiling crises. As the Republicans fought each other, Pelosi adeptly managed to hold her colleagues together. And Democrats ultimately gave Speaker John Boehner the lion\u2019s share of the votes to end the chaos.\nPelosi said she believes Democrats could take back the House in 2014.\n\u201cI\u2019ve never said we will win. I\u2019ve said we can win, and I have to believe those prospects have increased,\u201d Pelosi said.\n( PHOTOS: Nancy Pelosi\u2019s career)\nFor now, the Democratic leader isn\u2019t telegraphing her plans to anyone. Pelosi insists she has not had conversations with her closest allies \u2014 not even her husband \u2014 about how long she plans to stay in the House.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t expect to be here this long, and I\u2019m not trying to break any longevity records, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d Pelosi added. \u201cOne thing leads to another. You make a judgment as you go along.\u201d\nStill, Pelosi loyalists and Democratic lawmakers say they believe she\u2019s in it for the long haul. They see her staying at least through the end of Obama\u2019s presidency in January 2017, and maybe even beyond.\n( WATCH: Nancy Pelosi calls Obamacare problems 'unacceptable')\n\u201cThere is no sign that she is leaving. I think she will be here as long as President Barack Obama is [in office],\u201d said Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic lobbyist at Elemendorf Ryan who is close to Pelosi. \u201cAs long as you have a Democratic president, even the minority leader job is a pretty good job \u2026 and she has a legitimate potential to become speaker.\u201d\nThe California Democrat\u2019s ranks of loyal supporters in the House Democratic Caucus was far but assured after Democrats\u2019 stunning election defeat in 2010, which ended Pelosi\u2019s four-year tenure as speaker. Then-Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) made a run at Pelosi\u2019s leadership spot, garnering more than 40 votes and demonstrating serious cracks in Pelosi\u2019s coalition.\nSince then, Pelosi has worked to regain the trust and support of her caucus, repeatedly showing that she can corral votes more successfully than Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). Boehner has regularly turned to Democrats for must-pass legislation after members of his conference refuse to vote in favor of spending bills and debt ceiling increases, as happened just last week. A total of 198 Democrats voted for the Reid-McConnell agreement to reopen the government and boost the debt ceiling for three months, versus 87 Republicans who voted in agreement.\n( Also on POLITICO: Nancy Pelosi on Sister Simone)\nPelosi didn\u2019t lose a single Democrat in that vote while 144 Republicans voted against it.\n\u201cNancy Pelosi is stronger today within the Democratic Caucus than she has been at any time since we lost the majority,\u201d said Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.). \u201cI think the key is early strategic conviction. She made up her mind early what our position should be [on a government funding and the debt ceiling package] after listening to a lot of members and then had absolute laserlike Pelosi focus on it.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Experiment with Herbs and Spices\nExperimenting with any ingredients is an awesome way to kick the routine to the curb. But something about herbs and spices can take things to the next level. There are virtually endless combinations and uses of herbs and spices, and it can be really fun to see what you get from mixing different things together. It's also a healthy way to toss things up -- herbs and spices originate from different flowers, fruits, seeds, barks, leaves, and roots. In addition to helping mix things up, they also have antibacterial and antiviral properties and are full of B-vitamins and trace minerals. For example, the fennel bulb has Vitamin C which boosts the immune system, plus fiber which cuts down cholesterol. The health benefits of pollen are undeniable as well.\nMaybe the health benefits of pollen aren't enough though. In that case, try to make your routine fun. If you live alone, this could be as simple as trying out a new recipe for the first time in a while, or maybe even making a cooking playlist to jam to while you cook.\nPut a Twist on Tradition\nHerbs and spices pack in incredible flavor, and many are very versatile. Fennel, for example, can be used in breads, salads, soups, sauces, and as a dry rub for meats. Take one of your traditional dishes and add something exotic to it. You'll be surprised at how much just one addition makes a difference.",

        "raw_content": "PRL Glass \u2013 LAEDC Success Story\nArticle provided by LA County Business Connect. July/August 2016, Issue 20.\nFounded in 1989, PRL Glass creates fabricated tempered/laminated glass, frameless shower doors, all glass entrance doors, beveled mirrors and extrude their own aluminum. Originally beginning its operations under a 3,000 square foot building with three employees, the company has now grown to 450 employees and 250,000 square feet. PRL Glass is the fastest growing company in the architectural glass/metal industry.\nThe Challenge. PRL Glass had been concerned about the high costs of doing business and had been approached by other states to relocate out of California. The LAEDC team went to work. Culminating with a testimony by an LAEDC representative regarding the best use of the property at a council meeting, the acquisition of a new two-acre property in the City of Industry became a reality for PRL Glass.\nThe company was able to expand its business right here in California and the County of Los Angeles, adding critically needed parking for existing employees and new hires, and strengthening the company\u2019s resolve to stay in the City of Industry.\nTeam work, hands-on involvement resulted in the purchase of this key property.\nIn addition to the advocacy before the City of Industry City Council, the LAEDC team also identified additional resources to help the company sustain its operations in L.A. County.\n\u2022 Edison Utility Incentives through the Economic Development Rate (EDR).\n\u2022 Minority Business certification.\n\u2022 California incentive programs including partial sales tax exemption and California Competes Tax Credits.\n\u2022 Workforce hiring programs including Transitional Subsidized Employment (TSE) and California Employment Training Panel (ETP).\n\u2022 Working with the City of Industry to solve parking issues.\nThrough the LAEDC\u2019s commitment to economic development, advocacy, business assistance and a belief in the success of L.A. County businesses, PRL Glass will continue to stay and grow in California and plans to add 100+ employees in the next few years.",

        "title": "Design patterns for increased security in industrial networks",
        "raw_content": "Gone are the days when industrial networks could be physically separated from all other networks. The same applies to the myth of security through incompatibility, which has long given industrial plants a feeling of security.\nTimes have changed, and not solely because of developments such as the Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0, which have resulted in greater interconnectedness and homogenisation of industrial plant network structures. Industrial component manufacturers have already started designing their connectable components based on standard industrial PC systems.\nThey are also increasingly replacing proprietary communication protocols with the network protocols Ethernet and TCP/IP, which are widely used and accepted worldwide. However, this enhanced networking means that industrial plants have a larger attack surface.\nWhat\u2019s more, many monitoring and control systems are used for years \u2014 sometimes decades at a time \u2014 without receiving or being able to receive security updates in a timely manner. Either such patches are unavailable or a change in software is not without risks or may invalidate existing certifications.\nThis results in numerous soft targets in an application with industrial control systems. It is evident, therefore, that these important but vulnerable systems must be protected. Many companies set up perimeter firewalls at the edge of their industrial networks to protect the soft targets in their industrial applications against threats from the internet or from office networks. Although this is a necessary step, modern network security demands far more than just perimeter security.\nComprehensive network security concepts need to take into account both different methods of attack and different kinds of attackers. This includes scenarios where the first line of defence has already been compromised, ie, the firewall at the edge between the production network and the office network or the internet. Once an attacker has penetrated a network, they can quickly cause major damage if the architecture and configuration of the network were selected with no regard for security. The good news: implementing a network capable of withstanding an invading attacker is not as complicated as it may first appear, provided security is taken into account as early as the network planning stage.\nTaking security into account during the initial phase of network design is an important step towards creating a more secure industrial control system. However, issues such as exposed services must also be incorporated as a matter of principle; for example, by enforcing best practices such as the implementation of firewalls and the zones-and-conduits concept. Disregarding the \u2018flat network\u2019 architecture design and the \u2018screened host\u2019 design in favour of the \u2018screened subnet\u2019 architecture limits an attacker\u2019s freedom of movement within a network and better protects critical or vulnerable devices against compromised services. When it comes to restricting device access to the network and allocating devices to individual zones, IEEE 802.1x represents an effective way to increase security and reduce the administrative burden.\nFinally, there are other ways of strongly limiting the influence an attacker can have within a zone. Using these methods and architectures helps to create secure and robust networks. Consequently, the network can no longer be used by the attacker as a dangerous weapon but instead acts as a serious barrier to attacks in industrial environments.\nHirschmann\u2019s latest range of HiOS switches, for example, incorporates comprehensive security mechanisms that regulate network access and protect against attacks. These include port security, DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard, ingress/egress ACL, sFlow, Storm Control, automatic denial-of-service prevention and port access control via 802.1x including multiclient authentication, Radius VLAN/policy assignment and guest/unauthenticated VLAN. Hardware redundancy methods such as PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol) and HSR (High Availability Seamless Redundancy) also ensure uninterrupted data communication. As a result, the Hirschmann switches offer maximum performance for your network without compromising on security.\nAdditionally, the EAGLE One is an industrial security router offering all-round protection for data communication in practically any environment, at an optimal price-performance ratio. Comprehensive Layer 2 and Layer 3 redundancy functions ensure switchover to a hot standby device in the event of a fault or failure. Moreover, networks can be protected with the security router or segmented into security zones in accordance with the defence-in-depth concept. The innovative Firewall Learning Mode allows simple and smooth start-up using a rule configuration based on recognised network traffic patterns.\nTo see the full article and download the white paper click here.\nAcromag manufactures a variety of flat pack isolators to provide a cost-effective solution for...\nGone are the days when industrial networks could be physically separated from all other networks.\nKeeping staff, plant and machinery safe is a must, but the security must offer flexibility of use...",

        "raw_content": "Today, 1st March 2011, the unimaginable has happened. The European Court of Justice has ruled that Insurers cannot charge different premiums to men and women.\nThe effects of this ruling will be far reaching and will take effect from 21st December 2012.\nInsurance has always been risk based. This is why smokers or those with medical conditions will often face higher premiums. Quite simply, if someone is more likely to claim, they pay a higher premium.\nStatistically, women live longer than men. It is therefore accepted that a woman is cheaper to insure for death benefit than a man. It also logically follows that a woman is likely to receive a pension income for longer than a man. Furthermore, we know that men are more likely to crash their car and should therefore pay higher motor insurance premiums.\nThis is all going to change. But what will this mean in practice? The following are likely outcomes from this ruling:\nLife, health insurance and motor insurance premiums will reduce (although lets face it I can\u2019t see insurers jumping to do this).\nPension annuity rates will fall.\nIf you are considering buying a pension annuity, do not delay until after December 2012. This could cost you dearly.\nLife, health insurance and motor insurance premiums will increase (this will probably happen very quickly).\nPension annuity rates will rise.\nGet in quick if you want life or health insurance. Consider opting for a fixed premium. Don\u2019t wait until nearer to December 2012, in case insurers begin to \u2018factor in\u2019 the impending changes.\nOf course at this stage we can\u2019t anticipate the actual outcome of events. Insurance and annuity providers will be working very hard rethinking their business models during the time leading up to December 2012. It may be that insurance plans will change ahead of time in anticipation of the effects of this ruling.\nIf you are concerned about your own situation, you should take advice sooner rather than later.\nThis information is intended for guidance only and is not advice.\nTagged: Annuity, Camberley, Gender ruling, Life cover",

Educated at Oxford, he was briefly an art student and a teacher but spent much of his time traveling. He served with distinction in World War II. Waugh burst upon the literary scene with a group of hilarious novels satirizing 20th-century life with savage and sophisticated wit; they include Decline and Fall (1928), Vile Bodies (1930), and A Handful of Dust (1934). He was even more mordantly satiric in Black Mischief (1932) and Scoop (1938), both treating Africa, and Put Out More Flags (1942), a fictional comment on the English war effort. His most popular novel, Brideshead Revisited (1945), recounts the spiritual regeneration of a wealthy Catholic family. In a novella, The Loved One (1948), he examined the mortuary customs of Hollywood, Calif.\nCollectively known as The Sword of Honour Trilogy, his three World War II novels, Men at Arms (1952), Officers and Gentlemen (1955), and The End of the Battle (1961), display Waugh's customary ironic wit tempered by a mood of melancholic elegy and are among the finest fictional portrayals of the conflict. In addition to these and other works of fiction, he wrote amusing travel books, biographies of Rossetti (1928) and Edmund Campion (1935), and the autobiographical A Little Learning (1964). All reflect his superb command of the English language. Though labeled an archconservative snob by some critics, Waugh was essentially a moralist who devoted himself to attacking social institutions and customs with impersonal scorn.\nSee his letters, ed. by M. Amory (1980); correspondence with Nancy Mitford (1997), ed. by C. Mosley; biographies by his brother Alec (1968), M. Stannard (2 vol., 1987\u201392), S. Hastings (1995), J. H. Wilson (1996), D. W. Patey (1998), D. Wykes (1999), P. Byrne (2010), and P. Eade (2016); studies by J. F. Carens (1966), P. A. Doyle (1969), W. J. Cook (1971), D. Lodge (1971), D. Price-Jones (1973), and H. Carpenter (1990).\nWaugh's older brother, Alec Waugh (Alexander Raban Waugh), 1898\u20131981, was the author of numerous novels and travel books. Among his best-known works are The Loom of Youth (1918), Island in the Sun (1956), and The Fatal Gift (1973).\nWaugh's son, Auberon Alexander Waugh, 1939\u20132000, was a novelist, journalist, and critic known for his satiric wit, curmudgeonly attitudes, and sparkling prose. Many of his ferociously clever and contrarion columns were published in Britain's Spectator and Private Eye. His five novels include The Foxglove Saga (1960) and Consider the Lilies (1968). He wrote of himself and his family in Will This Do?, his 1998 autobiography.\nSee N. R. Galli, ed., Four Crowded Years: The Diaries of Auberon Waugh, 1972\u20131976 (1976) and A. Galli-Pahlavi, ed., Diaries of Auberon Waugh, 1976\u20131985: A Turbulent Decade (1985).\nAuberon's son, Alexander Evelyn Michael Waugh, 1963\u2013, has been a composer and music critic. Turning to writing later in his career, he has penned such works as Time (2000) and God (2002). His Fathers and Sons: The Autobiography of a Family (2007) is a witty and moving study of five generations of Waughs.\nEvelyn Waugh: Selected full-text books and articles\nEvelyn Waugh: A Literary Biography By John Howard Wilson Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1996\nEvelyn Waugh, the Critical Heritage By Martin Stannard Routledge, 1997\nThe End of the Battle By Evelyn Waugh Little, Brown, 1961\nEvelyn Waugh's Early Novels: The Limits of Fiction By Lynch, Richard P Papers on Language & Literature, Vol. 30, No. 4, Fall 1994\nHuman Tragedy, Divine Comedy: The Painfulness of Conversion in Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited By Johnson, RoseMary C Renascence: Essays on Values in Literature, Vol. 64, No. 2, Winter 2012\nBrideshead Revisited in Nineteen Eighty-Four: Evelyn Waugh's Influence on George Orwell By Wilson, John Howard Papers on Language & Literature, Vol. 47, No. 1, Winter 2011\nEvelyn Waugh's Neglected Masterpiece By Rossi, John Contemporary Review, Vol. 281, No. 1642, November 2002\nCatastrophe and Imagination: An Interpretation of the Recent English and American Novel By John McCormick Longmans Green, 1957\nMeanings of Modernity: Britain in the Age of Imperialism and World Wars By Martin Daunton; Bernhard Rieger Berg, 2001\nLibrarian's tip: Chap. 10 \"Modernity and Trusteeship: Tensions ofEmpire in Britain Between the Wars\"\nThe Modern Movement: 1910-1940 By Chris Baldick Oxford University Press, 2004\nLibrarian's tip: \"Prose Satire: Huxley, Waugh, and Others\" begins on p.\nEncounters: An Anthology from the First Ten Years of Encounter Magazine By Melvin J.

Hallinan\nBrothers may squabble and fight, but when it comes right down to it, the relationship between brothers is often the closest and most enduring of a boy's life. Here, P. K. Hallinan draws on his experience of raising two sons to illustrate the many facets of the relationship. We see the boys playing together, sharing in chores, helping one another, disagreeing, and laughing themselves silly. What they know is that just being together is the best thing of all. P. K. brings his usual warmth and humour to the rhyming verse and bright watercolors. Ages 2-5 22 pages",

We've both been here when the senate was a better place because the appropriations process worked, and our strategy has been to advance appropriations bills that have bipartisan support, to comply with a budget deal, and are free of poison pill riders or controversial authorizing legislation. What we have here before us is the first test to that strategy and I think both Republicans and Democrats will be pretty pleased with the result.\"\nSenator Shelby: (5:14 p.m.)\n\"And now as we are getting ready to vote on final passage, I hope my colleagues agree that we're headed in the right direction here. I recognize that this package must still be reconciled with the House version before we can get it to the president's desk. But, Mr. President, I'm optimistic that we can do that in short order. We can also - we also cannot forget the nine other appropriations bills that remain. The Appropriations Committee has already reported seven of these remaining bills to the full Senate, all with strong bipartisan margins. This week the committee will mark up the final two appropriation bills, Defense and Labor/H.H.S., and I'm hoping for a similar result.\"",

        "raw_content": "Retail destinations need to live up to experiential expectations\nPaid for post by Exterion Media2018-06-07T05:00:00+01:00\nIn today\u2019s multichannel world, retail destinations need to live up to the demands of modern tech-savvy consumers.\nFor many years, the focus for retailers has been on driving footfall through customer loyalty, in-store promotions and, ultimately, the fact that bricks-and-mortar environments were the only option.\nNow, there are very real challenges facing retail. The traditional experience is undergoing a major transformation, from the high street to shopping malls.\nCustomers are less brand-loyal, increasingly unpredictable in their purchase behaviour and have retail at their fingertips through their mobile devices.\nRecognising the needs of the modern customer, the retail destination and in-store experience have never been more important for driving engagement and unlocking new commercial opportunities, from brand activations and sampling to improving the environment through advertising solutions.\nThe importance of experience matters \u2013 research from agency Harris found that 77% of millennials (22- to 37-year-olds) believe some of their most cherished memories to be experience-driven.\nThis is also a crucial area of growth for retail destinations such as malls.\nIt\u2019s no longer just about the \u2018buy\u2019, just as a football match is no longer about the score. It\u2019s about the stadium, the atmosphere, the food and drink, and the style of play of your team.\nWestfield Group is a perfect example as it sets about transforming the face of retail. It has created shopping environments that are attractive city destinations in their own right, with great customer experience at their heart.\nBeyond shopping, its centres are home to the first- and third-highest grossing cinemas in the UK and All Star Lanes bowling, Westfield Stratford City hosts more than 100 Gymbox classes and an Aspers casino, while Westfield London offers more than 60 different places to eat and drink and the UK\u2019s first KidZania.\nIt is no surprise that a big name such as John Lewis decided to invest in opening its \u00a333m new experience-led store at Westfield London in March, recognising the opportunity to respond to the demand for experiences at Europe\u2019s biggest shopping destination.\nWestfield is home to a wide range of engaging advertising formats and activation spaces, connecting its audience with memorable brand moments.\nIn fact, as part of the expansion of Westfield London, it has installed 86 new digital screens with state-of-the-art, full-motion capabilities.\nWestfield\u2019s centres are also linked with London\u2019s transport infrastructure, so advertisers can deliver truly joined-up brand communications through a range of out-of-home advertising opportunities.\nWestfield leads with an experience strategy that attracts and retains customers who will spend more, and its smart use of integrated advertising displays monetises the space and, crucially, delivers ROI for brands.\nRichard Simkins is creative solutions director at Exterion Media\nRichard.Simkins@exterionmedia.co.uk\nExterion MediaExterion Media is Europe\u2019s largest privately owned out-of-home advertising company, operating in the UK, Ireland, France, The Netherlands and Spain.\nFollow @@ExterionMediaUK",

        "raw_content": "Icons & Eyesores\nIcons & Eyesores -\nA new look at 60s architecture\nSixties' architecture draws strong passions in many people. For some there is the urge to preserve something of one of the most creative periods in British history, for others there is the urge to destroy it. Of the \"Dirty Dozen\" most hated buildings on Channel 4's Demolition programme, the majority were from the sixties. Ugly, outdated and old-fashioned are some of the more polite words used to describe sixties' buildings.\nHowever, ugliness, as well as beauty, can be in the eye of the beholder, so too can outdatedness. This extract is from a newspaper report about plans to redevelop Abingdon Town Centre.\n\"Abingdon is fortunate - much luckier than Oxford, for instance - to have a large central site which can be redeveloped without destroying any valuable buildings...The Corn Exchange, an ugly (that word again) and inconvenient red brick Victorian building, will be no great loss. \"\nThe Corn Exchange was demolished, without tears, along with a rather grand Victorian hotel. This article is from 1964. In the sixties anything Victorian was \"ugly\". It could be demolished without consideration. Yet at the same time, there was a growing appreciation for the Victorian - just think of the cover of the Sergeant Pepper Album. Victorian artefacts were rapidly moving from junk to antique and a small, but growing, band of enthusiasts were trying to save Victorian buildings.\nA few years ago anything from the thirties was considered \"no great loss\". The most famous example being the Firestone Factory. This was a beautiful Art Deco building, considered by many to be better than the Hoover Building. Yet it was in the way of a developer's plans and was bulldozed. The loss of this building led to the formation of the Twentieth Century Society. Many battles were ahead, not least an attempt to stop BT from removing every red telephone box in the country. Thanks to the work of the Twentieth Century Society many fine buildings from the first half of the last century were listed and saved from the bulldozers, but many more were destroyed.\nThose most often in the firing line were new building types - lidos and cinemas. They were often on prime land - built to show the town or city concerned at its best, in the eighties they were just in the way. Weston-super-Mare destroyed a wonderful diving platform to transform the town's lido into a tasteless children's paddling pool, yet the local newspaper cheered the demolition all the way and derided campaigners, trying to save the structure, as lunatics.\nArt Deco and pre-war architecture found an unlikely hero in the guise of a fictional detective. The ITV series, \"Agatha Christie's Poirot\" showed the thirties as modern and forward looking. The clean white lines of thirties' modernism were made popular. Film locations included the Midland Hotel at Morecambe and the Burgh Island Hotel in Devon. Interest in Art Deco multiplied. I would not say that all thirties buildings are safe, but at least public opinion is now on their side.\nNow the sixties is ripe for destruction and the public is baying for everything from that decade to be wiped out. Do we really want to destroy all permanent reminders of the decade that gave us the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Mini and the E-type Jaguar?\nOnce again, it is new building types that are most at risk. In the sixties they were shopping centres, office blocks, multi-storey car parks, university buildings and high rise housing. Some have already been listed. Some listing decisions have been brave - Park Hill Flats in Sheffield, and Trellick Tower in London, for example. Tastes are also changing. The sixties is being rediscovered. The music never really went away and the cars are being preserved. Sixties interior design is sparking off a new fashion in home interiors - retro.\nYet we still have a problem with the buildings - why? I think on the one hand there is the Ronan Point disaster and the general failure of high rise housing to solve the problems of the Victorian slums it replaced. On the other there is politics. Sixties' architecture is identified with idealism, an attempt to create a utopia which failed. However, for the majority of sixties' buildings, the motives were mainly commercial - the same as in any period in our history. The much maligned Tricorn Centre, for example, was a commercial development to provide a new shopping centre for Portsmouth. It was not a socialist project, but purely a business development.\nIf we put politics aside, many buildings from the sixties evoke style and sophistication. It was the era of James Bond, of the space race and of the birth of supersonic travel. Sixties' architecture, for me, is all about cool modernism, sophistication and style. Save it now, otherwise it will soon be too late.\nMore on 60s Architecture:\n\"This Was Tomorrow\"\nThe this was tomorrow exhibition at the Tate Modern in 2004 linked sixties architecture and photography.\nThis Was Tomorrow - Tate Modern\nFor more on \"This was Tomorrow\" visit www.culturewars.org.uk/2004-02/sixties.htm",

However they do still seem to deliver a nice product and as far as a brewery, it\u2019s hard to find faults in many of their beers.

Coming from the French word fauve, meaning \"wild animals,\" Fauvism rejected traditional painting ideals and emphasized modern concepts. Inspired by the late impressionist works of Paul Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh who pushed the boundaries with their bold colour choices, Hood takes this idea a step further to include simplified design. Whilst studying for her painting degree at manchester Hood set about writing a 10,000 word disertation titled' Primitivism in Art'. It was here that she learnt that the Fauvist\u2019s work was derived from primitive and tribal art; also about Paul Gauguin\u2019s color choice and style. Hood gives life to her paintings with her use of intense colours. The primary focus of Hood's paintings is her application of non-naturalistic and vibrant colour. Sarah Hood now lives and works in the mountainous countryside in Spain with her 7 Labradors and Danish Mastiff.\nGraduated Central St Martins London, Masters Degree Fine Art Painting, 2005",

        "raw_content": "4 Nutrition Trends Blowing Up This Year And Their Benefits\nIf there is one things humans love it's their quest to find the perfect diet when they're trying to improve their health. Although new trends aren't particularly better than a normal balanced diet, they can sometimes be easier to stick to long term. Whether it's the diet itself or psychology at play, a lot of people will still end up with overall positive results. Here is the list of trending diets at the moment, which includes the positives and negatives of each one.\nRaw Vegan Diet Raw vegan diets have been around for a while. Moreover, we have platforms like YouTube to thank for it\u2019s recent increase in popularity. As long as you work hard to ensure you're hitting all your micro and macronutrient requirements, it would be easy to thrive on a raw vegan diet and your body would have more than enough energy due to all the carbs you'd be eating. Unfortunately, the diet isn't necessarily more healthy than a normal vegan diet, yet it's a hundred times more restrictive. You'll also need to supplement the vitamin B-12, and it will be harder to meet your protein requirements without eating cooked food.\nSomething-Free Diet How many people do you know who are suddenly taking an interest in their diet? It's on the rise and it's based on more than aesthetics. We've been bombarded with so much information we're beginning to work out by ourselves the foods our bodies can't handle. Trending gluten-free diet is probably the most popular of the bunch. The full extinct of gluten consumption and its influence on our bodies is yet to be discovered. Moreover, weight losing benefits of gluten-free diet are still in range of assumptions, but there are scientific evidences that problems such as severe allergies and lethargy are caused by gluten. A lactose-free diet comes in close behind, which makes sense considering a percentage of the population that is lactose intolerant. Those with IBS are cutting out suspect foods, but on a deeper level people are eliminating the foods that hurt them negatively in some way.\nSouping Diet Everyone has heard of juicing by now, but there was always one glaringly obvious problem. Even though the majority of people partaking in the diet thought they were detoxing their bodies, there weren't getting the benefits of fiber due to the way their food was prepared. Now souping is slowly morphing into what juicing once was, except this time people will be consuming more whole fruits and vegetables full of fiber and other nutritious goodies. All the vitamins and minerals will do wonders for your body, although a diet containing less chunky soups could leave you hungry as they're not really satiating.\nSoylent Diet We should have known this was coming after watching The Matrix. They designed a meal replacement powder capable of giving your body everything it needs to thrive. It's catching on quickly with those in positions where they work so much they don't have time to eat, but it's eventually going to be tested out by everyone who hears about it. They have even designed meal bars because the lack of chewing could cause damage in the long term. It's becoming more well-known because it\u2019s recently received twenty-million dollars in funding, but once their marketing budget disappears the popularity might too.\nShould You Buy Into The Trends? There is actually nothing wrong with your average healthy diet, so instead of looking for a quick fix you could aim to slowly tidy up your diet. Once you make a lifestyle change it shouldn't just last until you lose weight or feel more energized. It has to be something sustainable to help those positive changes stick around for the rest of your life, so don't jump on the latest nutrition trend if it's only going to force you back into your old eating habits a few months down the line.\nGuest Post by: Heather Green\nHeather Green is a nutritionist and personal trainer based in Southern California.

References to \u0093we,\u0094 \u0093us,\u0094 \u0093our,\u0094 or the \u0093company\u0094 refer to Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc.\nWe are a clinical stage regenerative medicine company developing life-saving medical devices.\nOur first products are a bioreactor and a synthetic scaffold that can be used by surgeons to create a replacement trachea, or airway, for patients who need an airway transplant. We believe our products are the first to enable the application of regenerative medicine techniques to the production and transplant of complex, three-dimensional human organs like the trachea. Our bioreactor technology has been used in six successful human airway transplant surgeries, including what we believe to be the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway. In addition, we believe the second surgery using our technology was the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway using a synthetic scaffold. The patients who received these two airway transplants are alive more than four years and sixteen months, respectively, following their surgeries, and each of these surgeries was published in The Lancet, one of the world\u0092s most respected peer-reviewed medical journals. The six human airway transplants to date have been led by Professor Paolo Macchiarini, a world-renowned thoracic surgeon of the Karolinska Instituet, one of Europe\u0092s leading research hospitals.\nWe believe our technology could enable surgeons to cure nearly all primary trachea cancers. Our products address the critical challenges to trachea transplant: the shortage of suitable donor tracheas and the risk and expense of lifelong anti-rejection drug therapy. Because the scaffolds are synthetic, our technology will eliminate the need to wait for suitable donor tracheas. Our technology also obviates the need for anti-rejection drug therapy because the surgeon uses the patient\u0092s own bone marrow cells to seed the scaffold. In addition, patients with trachea cancer treated using our products have not required either chemotherapy or radiation therapy after the transplant, thus potentially eliminating the significant side effects and expense of such therapies. Because these substantial costs and risks can be reduced or even eliminated with our technology, we believe our products can both help save lives and reduce overall healthcare costs. None of the surgeries using our products have involved human embryonic stem cells and we do not currently expect surgeons to use such cells with our products.\nWe intend to seek separate, independent 510(k) clearances or exemptions in the U.S., and CE marking in the EU, to allow us to market our trachea scaffolds, bioreactors and clinical infusion pumps for medical-device uses. In addition, we may seek approval under the orphan biologics pathway for the use of our scaffold and bioreactor system, including cells, for regenerated trachea transplant, which could provide market exclusivity for up to seven years. We expect to receive regulatory approval to market our regenerated trachea transplant products in the EU by the end of 2015 and, assuming our trachea transplant products qualify for accelerated review, we expect to receive FDA approval to market our trachea transplant products in the U.S. by the end of 2016.\nTwo regenerated trachea transplants performed in Russia in June 2012 began a clinical trial of trachea transplants for patients with either trachea cancer or trachea damage. This trial is funded by a $5 million grant from the Russian government to the Krasnodar Regional Hospital, one of Russia\u0092s leading transplant centers. In addition, the EU has approved a separate $5 million grant with Dr. Macchiarini as principal investigator to fund two clinical trials in trachea transplant using our products. We expect these two EU trials to begin in 2014. We intend to use the results of these trials, together with the data collected on compassionate-use patients both in the U.S. and overseas, to help support our submission for approval to market our trachea transplant products.\nIn addition to the trachea, we believe that our products are applicable to the regeneration of other organs. Our collaborators are working on regenerating the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart valves and heart using our products. For instance, a collaborator of ours, Dr. Harald Ott of Massachusetts General Hospital, has succeeded in using one of our solid organ bioreactors to regenerate and transplant a whole lung in a rat.\nAnother collaborator of ours, Dr. Robert Simari of the Mayo Clinic, is using one of our bioreactors in his research on the potential regeneration and transplant of human heart valves.\nCurrent treatments for trachea cancer, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery have poor outcomes, resulting in median survival of only 10 months and a five-year survival rate of only 15%. According to an article published in The Lancet Oncology, the incidence of trachea cancer is 2.6 per one million of population, reflecting an addressable market of approximately 2,400 trachea cancer patients per year worldwide. In addition to trachea cancer, certain types of trachea damage can be treated by transplanting a trachea. In particular, patients may receive a tracheotomy, or surgically created hole in their throat, to allow them to breathe. When the tracheotomies are in place for more than a few days, patients are at an increased risk of dying from pneumonia caused by aspiration of foreign material into the lungs. We estimate that there are approximately 3,900 patients per year worldwide with long-term tracheotomies at risk of death from aspiration pneumonia. In addition, there are approximately 250 patients in the developed world who are born without a trachea, a condition called tracheal agenesis, who may be treatable with a trachea transplant.\nCombining patients with trachea cancer, trachea trauma and tracheal agenesis, we estimate the total addressable patient population for trachea transplants using our products is approximately 6,500 per year. Based on this, we estimate the total potential market for trachea transplants that use our products could exceed $300 million per year. While these estimates capture the number of new patients annually that are candidates for transplants using our products, they exclude what we believe to be a large pool of existing potential patients.\nAdditionally, we believe that our technology can also be used to address the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart valves and heart transplant markets. We believe that these markets collectively contain millions of potential patients with life-threatening and expensive conditions, and suffer from a lack of suitable donor organs, in addition to considerable logistical and other expenses in procuring organs.\nOur objective is to be the leading regenerative medicine device company focused on helping save human lives. Our business strategy to accomplish this objective includes:\n\u0095 Target life-threatening medical conditions. Because we address life-threatening conditions, we believe it is easier to get patient informed consent for treatment, hospital ethics committee or Institutional Review Board approval and government regulatory authority approval as the patients often have poor or no treatment alternatives.\n\u0095 Focus on medical devices rather than cells. Medical devices generally have easier and lower-cost clinical trial requirements than cellular-based therapies, provided that the FDA agrees that the injection system and bioreactor products we are developing are separate medical devices, and not part of an overall biological seeded scaffold.\n\u0095 Develop products that have a relatively short time to market. The number of patients with trachea cancer is relatively small and median survival is only 10 months. Thus, we expect the size, length and expense of our trachea transplant trial will be low compared to clinical trials in larger indications with longer survival periods.\n\u0095 Use trachea transplant as a platform to address other organs. We believe our experience in developing proprietary scaffolds and bioreactors for trachea transplant gives us substantial expertise and intellectual property for developing products addressing diseases impacting other organs like the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart valves and heart.\n\u0095 Supply the complete bioreactor and scaffold system. Our technology includes the bioreactor and scaffold which are used by the surgeon to create the synthetic organ. We believe there is considerable value in supplying the complete bioreactor and scaffold system.\n\u0095 Collaborate with leading surgeons and institutions. We have and will continue to collaborate with leading surgeons and institutions such as Professor Macchiarini of the Karolinska Instituet, Dr. Harald Ott of Massachusetts General Hospital, and Dr. Robert Simari of the Mayo Clinic. We believe the use of our products by leading surgeons and institutions will increase the likelihood of broad adoption of our products.\nHollow Organ Bioreactors\nOur InBreath hollow organ bioreactor is a device that can be used by a surgeon to seed cells onto a scaffold. The InBreath bioreactor enables the surgeon to:\n\u0095 secure the scaffold to the bioreactor;\n\u0095 seed the patient\u0092s cells on the scaffold under sterile conditions;\n\u0095 automatically rotate the scaffold to allow good cell distribution into the pores of the scaffold; and\n\u0095 remotely monitor the scaffold during the course of the two to three days incubation period before the transplant.\nOur InBreath bioreactor has several novel features such as allowing for separate cell seeding conditions on the inside and outside of the scaffold and for pumping cell culture media through the inside of the scaffold without the need for an external pump and tubes. We believe our InBreath hollow organ bioreactor is the world\u0092s first bioreactor that has been used to perform a human transplant of a regenerated organ.\nSolid Organ Bioreactors\nA solid organ bioreactor shares many of the features of a hollow organ bioreactor such as the ability to seed cells on an organ scaffold and keep them sterile and healthy during the growth phase prior to transplant. However, for solid organs like the heart and lungs, the bioreactor must also supply pulsatile blood flow and ventilation to mimic the natural action of the heart and lungs. In addition, the physiology of the heart and lungs is considerably more complex than that of the trachea and so the measuring, monitoring and control equipment needed is considerably more advanced. During the first half of 2010, one of our physician collaborators, Dr. Harald Ott at Massachusetts General Hospital, succeeded in regenerating a lung that was subsequently transplanted into the body of a rat. In collaboration with Dr. Ott and Massachusetts General Hospital, we designed and developed a novel bioreactor that was used to grow the rat lung used in this procedure.\nA scaffold is a natural or synthetic framework, shaped like the real organ, that is porous to allow cells to penetrate the scaffold, attach and start to grow. The scaffold used for the first regenerated trachea transplant in 2008 was a donated human trachea with its cells removed before being seeded with bone marrow cells taken from the patient. All subsequent trachea transplants using our products have utilized synthetic scaffolds. Because the synthetic scaffolds are manufactured, they can be made to the exact dimensions of the patient and in large quantities. While the synthetic scaffolds used in surgeries to date have been made by third parties, in order to improve the scaffolds, we are collaborating with Professor Macchiarini and others to develop our own scaffold product and manufacturing. We have recently established scaffold manufacturing in our Holliston, Massachusetts facility. Our scaffolds can be made from a variety of plastic polymers such as polyethelyne terephthalate, or PET, which is the same polymer used in the well-known brand of implantable materials known by the trade name Dacron. PET has a long history of safe use in long-term human implants. We have manufactured over 100 prototype scaffolds and we intend to provide our proprietary scaffolds to surgeons for use in future transplants. We believe that our scaffolds will be superior in quality compared to those used in prior surgeries.\nClinical Infusion Pump\nWe are also developing a clinical infusion pump that can be used by clinicians as a cell injection system. This product will allow clinicians to inject cells directly into damaged tissue. In addition to the cell injection\napplications, we expect our clinical pump will be used for infusing drugs in general hospital applications. This clinical pump is based on the technology underlying Harvard Bioscience Inc.\u0092s market leading Harvard Apparatus research syringe pumps.\nRelationship with Harvard Bioscience\nWe are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harvard Bioscience. We were incorporated by Harvard Bioscience to provide a means for separating its regenerative medicine device business from its other businesses. Harvard Bioscience has been designing and manufacturing devices for life science researchers for over 100 years. Harvard Bioscience first explored the regenerative medicine market in 2007 and began focusing on providing devices to scientists involved in regenerative medicine research in 2008. Since early 2009, Harvard Bioscience\u0092s regenerative medicine device business initiative operated as a division of Harvard Bioscience. Harvard Bioscience decided to separate its regenerative medicine business into our company, a separate corporate entity, to authorize us to raise capital by selling equity and then to spin off its interest in our business to its stockholders. Prior to this offering, Harvard Bioscience will have contributed the assets of its regenerative medicine device business, and approximately $10 million in cash, to our company. We had no material assets or activities as a separate corporate entity until the contribution to us by Harvard Bioscience of those assets and that business. We will continue to pursue our business of developing and making devices for regenerative medicine researchers and clinicians.\nInvesting in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described in \u0093Risk Factors\u0094 beginning on page 7 of this prospectus before making a decision to invest in our common stock. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business financial condition and results of operations would likely be negatively affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock would likely decline, and you may lose part, or all, of your investment. Below is a summary of some of the principal risks we believe we face:\n\u0095 We may be unsuccessful in obtaining on a timely basis or at all, the regulatory clearances and approvals needed to commercially market and distribute our products due to adverse outcomes of clinical trials and other reasons.\n\u0095 We may be unsuccessful in launching products or expanding product offerings in the field of regenerative medicine.\n\u0095 As long as Harvard Bioscience controls us, your ability to influence matters requiring stockholder approval will be extremely limited.\n\u0095 Our medical collaborators may fail in their efforts at researching and developing safe and effective regenerative medical protocols and therapies.\n\u0095 The regenerative medicine market may not expand, or may not expand in the areas targeted by our products.\n\u0095 Future regulatory changes may affect our business.\n\u0095 If we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property, third parties may use our technology, which would impair our ability to compete in our markets.\n\u0095 Substantial sales of our common stock may occur following this offering, as well as following the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience, which could cause our stock price to decline.\n\u0095 We are currently experiencing operating losses because we have no revenues to offset our operating costs.\n\u0095 We may need to raise additional capital to fund our activities until we generate positive cash flows and may not be able to obtain such capital on favorable terms or at all.\nWe qualify as an \u0093emerging growth company\u0094 as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies.

We may experience additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or, as a result of developments occurring in the future, conditions that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.\nRisks Associated with Regulatory Clearances and Approvals\nIf we fail to obtain, or experience significant delays in obtaining, regulatory clearances or approvals in the U.S. and the EU for our products, or are unable to maintain such clearances or approvals for our products, our ability to commercially distribute and market these products would suffer.\nWe currently do not have regulatory approval to market any of our products. Our products are subject to rigorous regulation by the FDA, and numerous other federal and state governmental authorities in the U.S., as well as foreign governmental authorities. The process of obtaining regulatory clearances in the EU allowing us to affix the CE mark to market a medical device can be costly and time consuming, and we may not be able to obtain these clearances, or CE Certificates of Conformity, necessary to affix the CE mark on our medical devices on a timely basis, if at all. In the U.S., the FDA permits commercial distribution of a new medical device only after the device has received clearance under Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or is the subject of an approved premarket approval application, or PMA, unless the device is specifically exempt from those requirements. The FDA will clear marketing of a lower risk medical device through the 510(k) process if the manufacturer demonstrates that the new product is substantially equivalent to other 510(k)-cleared products. High risk devices deemed to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting, or implantable devices, or devices not deemed substantially equivalent to a previously cleared device, require the approval of a PMA. The PMA process is more costly, lengthy and uncertain than the 510(k) clearance process. A PMA must be supported by extensive data, including, but not limited to, technical, preclinical, clinical trial, manufacturing and labeling data, to demonstrate to the FDA\u0092s satisfaction the safety and efficacy of the device for its intended use.\nWe intend to seek approvals and clearances in the EU first, and our failure to receive or obtain such clearances or approvals on a timely basis or at all would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.\nAs further discussed below, there also is a risk that the FDA could seek to regulate the bioreactor and infusion products solely as more-highly regulated components of combination products, subject to potential regulation through the Biologics License Application, or BLA, process rather than as stand-alone medical devices.\nIt is possible that some of our products will be viewed by the FDA as combination products comprised of a biologic and medical device component. We cannot be sure how the FDA will regulate our products. The FDA may require us to obtain marketing clearance and approval from multiple FDA centers. The review of combination products is often more complex and more time consuming than the review of products under the jurisdiction of only one center within the FDA.\nIt is possible that some of our products, including our regenerative medicine products that have been studied clinically, may be regulated by the FDA as combination products. For a combination product, the FDA must determine which center or centers within the FDA will review the product and under what legal authority the product will be reviewed. We are currently developing our regulatory strategies with respect to which regulatory pathway will be necessary to obtain clearance or approval. We believe that the biologic component of our regenerative medicine products will be reviewed by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, or CBER and that the scaffold and bioreactor devices used in these applications may be reviewed by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health, or CDRH either in consultation with CBER as part of the BLA or separately as a medical device. The process of obtaining FDA marketing clearance or approval is lengthy,\nexpensive, and uncertain, and we cannot be sure that our biologic-device combination products, or any other products, will be cleared or approved in a timely fashion, or at all. In addition, the review of combination products is often more complex and more time consuming than the review of a product under the jurisdiction of only one center within the FDA. We cannot be sure that the FDA will not select to have our combination products reviewed and regulated by only one FDA center and/or different legal authority, in which case the path to regulatory approval would be different and could be more lengthy and costly. If the FDA does not approve or clear our products in a timely fashion, or at all, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.\nIn the EU, our products may be viewed as advanced therapy medicinal products, which could delay approvals and clearances and increase costs of obtaining such approvals and clearances.\nIn the EU, we believe that some of our products may be regulated as medical devices and may, therefore, be required to be CE marked before being placed on the EU market or put into service. The extent of testing that is required as part of the conformity assessment process to demonstrate the effectiveness of the device will depend on the classification of the device and on the extent of existing relevant data available either in scientific literature or in relation to a predicate device. In the EU, our regenerative medicine products may also be viewed as advanced therapy medicinal products or combined advanced therapy medicinal products. In such circumstances, it would be necessary to seek a marketing authorization for these products granted by the European Commission before being marketed in the EU.\nThe regulatory procedures leading to marketing approval of our products vary among jurisdictions and can involve substantial additional testing. Compliance with the FDA requirements does not ensure clearance or approval in other jurisdictions, and the ability to legally market our products in any one foreign country does not ensure clearance, or approval by regulatory authorities or the agreement of a notified body in other foreign jurisdictions. The foreign regulatory process leading to the marketing of the products may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval in addition to other risks. In addition, the time required to comply with foreign regulations and market products may differ from that required to obtain FDA approval, and we may not obtain foreign approval or clearance on a timely basis, if at all. We may not be able to file for regulatory clearances, approvals, or to comply with the EU requirements necessary to affix the CE mark and may not receive necessary clearances or approvals to commercialize our products in any foreign market.\nRisks Associated with Clinical Trials\nClinical trials necessary to support a PMA application, a BLA license, a marketing authorization, or a CE mark for our products will be expensive and will require the enrollment of sufficient patients to adequately demonstrate safety and effectiveness for the product\u0092s target populations. Suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit. Delays or failures in our clinical trials will prevent us from commercializing any products and will adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.\nIn the U.S., initiating and completing clinical trials necessary to support either PMA applications or BLA licenses, and additional safety and efficacy data beyond that typically required for a 510(k) clearance for a device, will be time consuming, expensive and the outcome uncertain. Moreover, the FDA may not agree that clinical trial results support an application for the indications sought in the application for the product. In other jurisdictions such as the EU, the conduct of extensive and expensive clinical trials may also be required in order to demonstrate the quality, safety and efficacy of our products, depending on each specific product, the claims being studied, and the target condition or disease. The outcome of these clinical trials, which can be expensive and are heavily regulated, will also be uncertain. Moreover, the results of early clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, and any product we advance into clinical trials may not have favorable results in later clinical trials.\nConducting successful clinical trials will require the enrollment of a sufficient number of patients to support each trial\u0092s claims, and suitable patients may be difficult to identify and recruit. Patient enrollment in clinical trials and completion of patient participation and follow-up depends on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the trial protocol, the attractiveness of, or the discomfort and risks associated with, the treatments received by enrolled subjects, the availability of appropriate clinical trial investigators, support staff, and proximity of patients to clinical sites and ability to comply with the eligibility and exclusion\ncriteria for participation in the clinical trial and patient compliance. For example, patients may be discouraged from enrolling in our clinical trials if the trial protocol requires them to undergo extensive post-treatment procedures or follow-up to assess the safety and effectiveness of our products, or if they determine that the treatments received under the trial protocols are not attractive or involve unacceptable risks or discomfort. Patients may also not participate in our clinical trials if they choose to participate in contemporaneous clinical trials of competitive products. In addition, patients participating in clinical trials may die before completion of the trial or suffer adverse medical events unrelated to investigational products.\nDevelopment of sufficient and appropriate clinical protocols to demonstrate safety and efficacy are required and we may not adequately develop such protocols to support clearance and approval. Further, the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities may require us to submit data on a greater number of patients than we originally anticipated and/or for a longer follow-up period or change the data collection requirements or data analysis applicable to our clinical trials. Delays in patient enrollment or failure of patients to continue to participate in a clinical trial may cause an increase in costs and delays in the approval and attempted commercialization of our products or result in the failure of the clinical trial. In addition, despite considerable time and expense invested in our clinical trials, the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities may not consider our data adequate to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Although FDA regulations allow submission of data from clinical trials outside the U.S., there can be no assurance that such data will be accepted or that the FDA will not apply closer scrutiny to such data. Increased costs and delays necessary to generate appropriate data, or failures in clinical trials could adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects. In the U.S., clinical studies for the company's products may be reviewed either under the Investigational Device Exemptions, or IDE pathway (for medical devices) or through the Investigational New Drug, or IND, pathway for biologics or combination products. The first regenerated trachea transplant approved in the U.S. using our bioreactor was approved under the IND pathway, but it has not yet been performed. Future FDA review under the IDE, IND, or both pathways, depending on the products, proposed study design, and study populations, is possible. In the EU, if the regulatory classification of our products is rejected by the ethics committee or competent authority reviewing our request for a positive opinion, we may be required to prepare a new study protocol reflecting a different classification. This process would be costly and time consuming.\nIf the third parties on which we rely to conduct our clinical trials and to assist us with pre-clinical development do not perform as contractually required or expected, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our products.\nWe do not have the ability to independently conduct our preclinical and clinical trials for our products and we must rely on third parties, such as contract research organizations, medical institutions, clinical investigators and contract laboratories to conduct such trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or regulatory obligations or meet expected deadlines, if these third parties need to be replaced, or if the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our clinical protocols or regulatory requirements, or for other reasons, our pre-clinical development activities or clinical trials may be extended, delayed, suspended or terminated, and we may not be able to seek or obtain regulatory approval for, or successfully commercialize, our products on a timely basis, if at all. Our business, operating results and prospects may also be adversely affected. Furthermore, our third-party clinical trial investigators may be delayed in conducting our clinical trials for reasons outside of their control.\nThe results of our clinical trials may not support our product claims or may result in the discovery of adverse side effects.\nEven if our clinical trials are completed as planned, we cannot be certain that their results will support our product claims or that the FDA, foreign competent authorities or notified bodies will agree with our conclusions regarding them. Although we have obtained some positive results from the use of our bioreactors for trachea transplants performed to date, we may not see positive results when the bioreactors, or our scaffolds or other technologies undergo clinical testing in humans in the future. Success in preclinical studies and early clinical trials does not ensure that later clinical trials will be successful, and we cannot be sure that the later trials will replicate the results of prior trials and pre-clinical studies. The clinical trial process may fail to demonstrate that our products are safe and effective for the proposed indicated uses, which could cause us to abandon a product and may delay development of others. Any delay or termination of our clinical trials\nwill delay the filing of our product submissions and, ultimately, our ability to commercialize our products and generate revenues. It is also possible that patients enrolled in clinical trials will experience adverse side effects that are not currently part of the product\u0092s profile. In addition, our current clinical experience and clinical trial for trachea transplant involves a small patient population. Because of the small sample size, the results may not be indicative of future results.\nRisk Associated with Product Marketing\nEven if our products are cleared or approved by regulatory authorities, if we or our suppliers fail to comply with ongoing FDA or other foreign regulatory authority requirements, or if we experience unanticipated problems with our products, these products could be subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market.\nAny product for which we obtain clearance or approval in the U.S. or the EU, and the manufacturing processes, reporting requirements, post-approval clinical data and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continued regulatory review, oversight and periodic inspections by the FDA and other domestic and foreign regulatory authorities or notified bodies. In particular, we and our suppliers are required to comply with the FDA\u0092s Quality System Regulations, or QSR, and Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMPs, for our medical device products, and International Standards Organization, or ISO, regulations for the manufacture of our products and other regulations which cover the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, storage and shipping of any product for which we obtain clearance or approval. Manufacturing may also be subject to controls by the FDA for parts of the system or combination products that the FDA may find are controlled by the biologics regulations. Equivalent regulatory obligations apply in foreign jurisdictions. Regulatory authorities, such as the FDA, the competent authorities of the EU Member States, the European Medicines Agency and notified bodies, enforce the QSR, GMP and other applicable regulations in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions through periodic inspections. The failure by us or one of our suppliers to comply with applicable statutes and regulations administered by the FDA and other regulatory authorities or notified bodies in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions, or the failure to timely and adequately respond to any adverse inspectional observations or product safety issues, could result in, among other things, any of the following enforcement actions:\n\u0095 untitled letters, warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;\n\u0095 unanticipated expenditures to address or defend such actions;\n\u0095 customer notifications for repair, replacement, refunds;\n\u0095 recall, detention or seizure of our products;\n\u0095 operating restrictions or partial suspension or total shutdown of production;\n\u0095 refusing or delaying our requests for 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of products or modified products;\n\u0095 withdrawing 510(k) clearances, PMA approvals or BLAs that have already been granted;\n\u0095 withdrawal of the marketing authorization granted by the European Commission or delay in obtaining such marketing authorization;\n\u0095 withdrawal of the CE Certificates of Conformity granted by the notified body or delay in obtaining these certificates;\n\u0095 refusal to grant export approval for our products; and\n\u0095 criminal prosecution.\nPostmarket enforcement actions can generate adverse commercial consequences.\nEven if regulatory clearance or approval of a product is granted, such clearance or approval may be subject to limitations on the intended uses for which the product may be marketed and reduce our potential to successfully commercialize the product and generate revenue from the product. If the FDA or a foreign regulatory authority determines that our promotional materials, labeling, training or other marketing or educational activities constitute promotion of an unapproved use, it could request that we cease or modify our\ntraining or promotional materials or subject us to regulatory enforcement actions. It is also possible that other federal, state or foreign enforcement authorities might take action if they consider our training or other promotional materials to constitute promotion of an unapproved use, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement.\nExtensive governmental regulations that affect our business are subject to change, and we could be subject to penalties and could be precluded from marketing our products and technologies if we fail to comply with new regulations and requirements.\nAs a manufacturer and marketer of medical devices, we are subject to extensive regulation that is subject to change. In March 2010, President Obama signed into law a legislative overhaul of the U.S. healthcare system, known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Healthcare and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, or the PPACA, which may have far-reaching consequences for most healthcare companies, including medical device companies like us. The PPACA could substantially change the structure of the health insurance system and the methodology for reimbursing medical services, laboratory tests, drugs and devices. These structural changes, as well as those relating to proposals that may be made in the future to change the health care system, could entail modifications to the existing system of private payors and government programs, as well as implementation of measures to limit or eliminate payments for some medical procedures and treatments or subject the pricing of medical products to government control. Government and other third-party payors increasingly attempt to contain health care costs by limiting both coverage and the level of payments of newly approved health care products. In some cases, they may also refuse to provide any coverage of uses of approved products for disease indications other than those for which the regulatory authorities have granted marketing approval. Governments may adopt future legislative proposals and federal, state, foreign or private payors for healthcare goods and services may take action to limit their payments for goods and services.\nIn the EU, on September 26, 2012, the European Commission proposed a revision of the legislation currently governing medical devices. If adopted by the European Parliament and the Council in their present form, these proposals, which may apply from 2015 or 2016, will impose stricter requirements on medical device manufacturers. Moreover, the supervising competences of the competent authorities of the EU Member States and the notified bodies will be strengthened. The regulation of advanced therapy medicinal products is also in continued development in the EU, with the European Medicines Agency publishing new clinical or safety guidelines concerning advanced therapy medicinal products on a regular basis.\nAny of these regulatory changes and events could limit our ability to form collaborations and our ability to commercialize our products, and if we fail to comply with any such new or modified regulations and requirements it could adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.\nFinancial and Operating Risks\nWe have not generated any revenue to date and have a history of losses since inception. We anticipate that we will incur losses for the foreseeable future. We may never achieve or sustain profitability.\nWe have not generated any revenue to date and, from February 2009 through September 30, 2012, have incurred losses of approximately $10.4 million. We expect to continue to experience losses in the foreseeable future due to our limited anticipated revenues and significant anticipated expenses. We do not anticipate that we will achieve meaningful revenues for the foreseeable future. In addition, we expect that we will continue\nto incur significant operating expenses as we continue to focus on additional research and development, preclinical testing, clinical testing and regulatory review and/or approvals or clearances of our products and technologies. As a result, we cannot predict when, if ever, we might achieve profitability and cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain profitability, if achieved.\nOur products are in an early stage of development. If we are unable to develop or market any of our products, our financial condition will be negatively affected, and we may have to curtail or cease our operations.\nWe are in the early stage of product development. You must evaluate us in light of the uncertainties and complexities affecting an early stage medical device company. Our products require additional research and development, preclinical testing, clinical testing and regulatory review and/or approvals or clearances before marketing. In addition, we may not succeed in developing new products as an alternative to our existing portfolio of products. If we fail to successfully develop and commercialize our products, including our bioreactor and scaffold system, our financial condition may be negatively affected, and we may have to curtail or cease our operations.\nWe have a limited operating history and it is difficult to predict our future growth and operating results.\nWe have a limited operating history and limited operations and assets. Accordingly, you should consider our prospects in light of the costs, uncertainties, delays and difficulties encountered by companies in the early stage of development. As a development stage company, our development timelines have been and may continue to be subject to delay that could negatively affect our cash flow and our ability to develop or bring products to market, if at all.\nOur prospects must be considered in light of inherent risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by all early stage companies, particularly companies in new and evolving markets, such as regenerative medicine. These risks include, but are not limited to, unforeseen capital requirements, delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, failure to gain market acceptance and competition from foreseen and unforeseen sources.\nOur operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to raise or obtain needed funding.\nSubstantial time, financial and other resources will be required to complete ongoing development and clinical testing of our products. Regulatory efforts and collaborative arrangements will also be necessary for our products that are currently under development and testing in order for them to be marketed. Our revenues from operations and cash may not be sufficient over the next several years for commercialization of all of the technologies and products we are currently developing. Consequently, we may seek strategic partners for various phases of development, marketing and commercialization of products employing our technologies. Further, we cannot assure you as to the sufficiency of our resources or the time required to complete any ongoing development and clinical testing, since the extent to which we conduct such testing is dependent on resource allocation decisions that we make from time to time based on numerous financial as well as operational conditions.\nIn addition to development and other costs, we expect to incur capital expenditures from time to time. These capital expenditures will be influenced by our regulatory compliance efforts, our success, if any, at developing collaborative arrangements with strategic partners, our needs for additional facilities and capital equipment and the growth, if any, of our business in general. We may seek to raise necessary funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or strategic collaborations and licensing arrangements. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. General market conditions may make it very difficult for us to seek financing from the capital markets. Additional equity financing could result in significant dilution to our stockholders. Debt financing, if available, could result in agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or paying dividends. In addition, in order to raise additional funds through strategic collaborations or licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish rights to our technologies or products. If we cannot raise funds or engage strategic partners on acceptable terms when needed, we may not be able to continue our research and development activities, develop or enhance our products, take advantage of future opportunities, grow our business or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements.\nIf we fail to retain key personnel, we may not be able to compete effectively, which would have an adverse effect on our operations.\nOur success is highly dependent on the continued services of key management, technical and scientific personnel and collaborators. Our management and other employees may voluntarily terminate their employment at any time upon short notice. The loss of the services of any member of our senior management team, including our Chief Executive Officer and President, David Green, our Chief Financial Officer, Thomas McNaughton, and our other key scientific, technical and management personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of product development and other business objectives.\nIf our collaborators do not devote sufficient time and resources to successfully carry out their duties or meet expected deadlines, we may not be able to advance our products in a timely manner or at all.\nWe are currently collaborating with multiple academic researchers and clinicians at a variety of research and clinical institutions. Our success depends in part on the performance of our collaborators. Some collaborators may not be successful in their research and clinical trials or may not perform their obligations in a timely fashion or in a manner satisfactory to us. Typically, we cannot control the amount of resources or time our collaborators may devote to our programs or potential products that may be developed in collaboration with us. Our collaborators frequently depend on outside sources of funding to conduct or complete research and development, such as grants or other awards. In addition, our academic collaborators may depend on graduate students, medical students, or research assistants to conduct certain work, and such individuals may not be fully trained or experienced in certain areas, or they may elect to discontinue their participation in a particular research program, creating an inability to complete ongoing research in a timely and efficient manner. As a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to control the precise timing and execution of any experiments that may be conducted.\nWe do not have formal agreements in place with most of our collaborators, who retain the ability to pursue other research, product development or commercial opportunities that may be directly competitive with our programs. If these collaborators elect to prioritize or pursue other programs in lieu of ours, we may not be able to advance product development programs in an efficient or effective manner, if at all. If a collaborator is pursuing a competitive program and encounters unexpected financial or capability limitations, they may be motivated to reduce the priority placed on our programs or delay certain activities related to our programs. Any of these developments could harm or slow our product and technology development efforts.\nIn particular, we depend upon Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, the surgeon who has led all of the clinical surgeries to date using our technology. Dr. Macchiarini\u0092s team developed the initial version of our InBreath airway bioreactor, which we have licensed from the inventors. We continue to collaborate with Dr. Macchiarini on grant proposals and product development. If Dr. Macchiarini were not available to continue to collaborate with us or perform surgeries it would materially slow development of our products. On September 27, 2012, Dr. Macchiarini was arrested in Italy for attempted fraud and extortion for allegedly attempting to persuade severely ill patients to choose private hospitals in other countries over less expensive Italian public hospitals. He was temporarily placed under house arrest and on October 15, 2012 was released from house arrest and is free to travel internationally and to perform surgeries. The case is ongoing. Dr. Macchiarini believes these charges are without merit and has, and intends to continue to, vigorously defend these charges. These allegations do not relate to any surgeries involving our products and have not prevented Dr. Macchiarini from making preparations for further transplant surgeries using our products at the Karolinska Hospital, or in the U.S. or Russia. If Dr. Macchiarini decides to terminate his collaboration with us, if the case described above consumes a significant amount of his time, or if the case prevents him from performing surgeries, our product development efforts could be adversely affected and it could cause harm to our reputation or business.\nPublic perception of ethical and social issues surrounding the use of cell technology may limit or discourage the use of our technologies, which may reduce the demand for our products and technologies and reduce our revenues.\nOur success will depend in part upon our collaborators\u0092 ability to develop therapeutic approaches incorporating, or discovered through, the use of cells. If regenerative medicine technology is perceived negatively by the public for social, ethical, medical or other reasons, governmental authorities in the U.S. and\nother countries may call for prohibition of, or limits on, cell-based technologies and other approaches to regeneration. Although the surgeons using our products have not to date used the more controversial stem cells derived from human embryos or fetuses in the human transplant surgeries using our products, claims that human-derived stem cell technologies are ineffective or unethical may influence public attitudes. The subject of cell and stem cell technologies in general has received negative publicity and aroused public debate in the U.S. and some other countries. Ethical and other concerns about such cells could materially harm the market acceptance of our products.\nOur products will subject us to liability exposure.\nWe face an inherent risk of product liability claims, especially with respect to our products that will be used within the human body, including the scaffolds we manufacture. Product liability coverage is expensive and sometimes difficult to obtain. We may not be able to obtain or maintain insurance at a reasonable cost. We may be subject to claims for liabilities for unsuccessful outcomes of surgeries involving our products, which may include claims relating to patient death. We may also be subject to claims for liabilities relating to patients that suffer serious complications or death during or following transplants involving our products. Our current product liability coverage is $15 million per occurrence and in the aggregate. We will need to increase our insurance coverage if and when we begin commercializing any of our products. There can be no assurance that existing insurance coverage will extend to other products in the future. Any product liability insurance coverage may not be sufficient to satisfy all liabilities resulting from product liability claims. A successful claim may prevent us from obtaining adequate product liability insurance in the future on commercially desirable items, if at all. If claims against us substantially exceed our coverage, then our business could be adversely impacted. Regardless of whether we are ultimately successful in any product liability litigation, such litigation could consume substantial amounts of our financial and managerial resources and could result in, among others:\n\u0095 significant awards against us;\n\u0095 substantial litigation costs;\n\u0095 injury to our reputation and the reputation of our products;\n\u0095 withdrawal of clinical trial participants; and\n\u0095 adverse regulatory action.\nAny of these results would substantially harm our business.\nIf restrictions on reimbursements or other conditions imposed by payors limit our customers\u0092 actual or potential financial returns on our products, our customers may not purchase our products or may reduce their purchases.\nOur customers\u0092 willingness to use our products will depend in part on the extent to which coverage for these products is available from government payors, private health insurers and other third-party payors. These payors are increasingly challenging the price of medical products and services. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved treatments and products in the regenerative medicine field, and coverage and adequate payments may not be available for these treatments and products. In addition, third-party payors may require additional clinical trial data to establish or continue reimbursement coverage. These clinical trials, if required, could take years to complete and could be expensive. There can be no assurance that the payors will agree to continue reimbursement or provide additional coverage based upon these clinical trials. Failure to obtain adequate reimbursement would result in reduced sales of our products.\nWe depend upon a single-source supplier for the hardware and software used for our organ bioreactor control and acquisition system. The loss of this supplier, or future single-source suppliers we may rely on, or their failure to provide us with an adequate supply of their products or services on a timely basis, could adversely affect our business.\nWe currently have a single supplier for the hardware and software that we use for our organ bioreactor control and acquisition systems. We may also rely on other single-source suppliers for critical components of our\nproducts in the future. If we were unable to acquire hardware or software or other products or services from applicable single-source suppliers, we could experience a delay in developing and manufacturing our products.\nWe use and generate hazardous materials in our business and must comply with environmental laws and regulations, which can be expensive.\nOur research, development and manufacturing involves the controlled use of hazardous chemicals, and we may incur significant costs as a result of the need to comply with numerous laws and regulations. For example, certain volatile organic laboratory chemicals we use, such as fluorinated hydrocarbons, must be disposed of as hazardous waste. We are subject to laws and regulations enforced by the FDA, foreign health authorities and other regulatory requirements, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, and other current and potential federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of our products, materials used to develop and manufacture our products, and resulting waste products. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of such materials comply with the standards prescribed by state and federal regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of such an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that result and any such liability could exceed our resources.\nOur products are novel and will require market acceptance.\nEven if we receive regulatory approvals for the commercial use of our products, their commercial success will depend upon acceptance by physicians, patients, third party payers such as health insurance companies and other members of the medical community. Market acceptance of our products is also dependent upon our ability to provide acceptable evidence and the perception of the positive characteristics of our products relative to existing or future treatment methods, including their safety, efficacy and/or other positive advantages. If our products fail to gain market acceptance, we may be unable to earn sufficient revenue to continue our business. Market acceptance of, and demand for, any product that we may develop and commercialize will depend on many factors, both within and outside of our control. If our products do not become widely accepted, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.\nOur long-term growth depends on our ability to develop products for other organs.\nOur growth strategy includes expanding the use of our products in treatments pertaining to organs other than the trachea, such as lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart valves and heart. These other organs are more complex than the trachea. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully apply our technologies to these other more complex organs, which will limit our expected growth.\nOur success will depend partly on our ability to operate without infringing on, or misappropriating, the intellectual property or confidentiality rights of others.\nWe may be sued for infringing on the intellectual property or confidentiality rights of others, including the patent rights, trademarks and trade names and confidential information of third parties. For example, we have sublicensed certain rights pertaining to our use of the mark Harvard Apparatus from Harvard Bioscience, including the use in our corporate name. Harvard Bioscience has licensed the rights to such mark from Harvard University. If the license to Harvard Bioscience or our sublicense were terminated, it could have an adverse effect on us. Intellectual property and related litigation is costly and the outcome is uncertain. If we do not prevail in any such intellectual property or related litigation, in addition to any damages we might have to pay, we could be required to stop the infringing activity, or obtain a license to or design around the intellectual property or confidential information in question. If we are unable to obtain a required license on acceptable terms, or are unable to design around any third party patent, we may be unable to sell some of our products and services, which could result in reduced revenue.\nWe may be involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents that would be expensive and time consuming.\nIn order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate patent litigation against third parties. We may also become subject to interference proceedings conducted in the patent and trademark offices of various\ncountries to determine the priority of inventions. The defense and prosecution, if necessary, of intellectual property suits, interference proceedings and related legal and administrative proceedings would be costly and divert our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. We may not prevail in any of these suits should they occur. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put our patent applications at risk of being rejected and patents not being issued.\nFurthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. For example, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments in the litigation. Securities analysts or investors may perceive these announcements to be negative, which could cause the market price of our stock to decline.\nIf we are unable to effectively protect our intellectual property, third parties may use our technology, which would impair our ability to compete in our markets.\nOur continued success will depend significantly on our ability to obtain and maintain meaningful patent protection for certain of our products throughout the world. Patent law relating to the scope of claims in the regenerative medicine and medical device fields in which we operate is still evolving. The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain. We rely on patents to protect a significant part of our intellectual property and to enhance our competitive position. However, our presently pending or future patent applications may not be accepted and patents might not be issued, and any patent previously issued to us may be challenged, invalidated, held unenforceable or circumvented. Furthermore, the claims in patents which have been issued or which may be issued to us in the future may not be sufficiently broad to prevent third parties from producing competing products similar to our products. We also rely on trademarks and trade names in our business. The laws of various foreign countries in which we compete may not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as do the laws of the U.S. If we fail to obtain adequate patent protection for our proprietary technology, our ability to be commercially competitive could be materially impaired.\nIn addition to patent protection, we also rely on protection of trade secrets, know-how and confidential and proprietary information. To maintain the confidentiality of trade-secrets and proprietary information, we generally seek to enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and strategic partners upon the commencement of a relationship. However, we may not be able to obtain these agreements in all circumstances in part due to local regulations. In the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of this information, these agreements, even if obtained, may not provide meaningful protection for our trade-secrets or other confidential information. In addition, adequate remedies may not exist in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of this information. The loss or exposure of our trade secrets and other proprietary information would impair our competitive advantages and could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, financial condition and future growth prospects.\nOur competitors and potential competitors may have greater resources than we have and may develop products and technologies that are more effective or commercially attractive than our products and technologies or may develop competing relationships with our key collaborators.\nWe expect to compete with multiple pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and scientific research product companies. Companies working in competing areas include, among others, Aastrom Biosciences, Aldagen, BioTime, Baxter International, Inc., Bose Corporation, Celgene, Cytori Therapeutics, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Genzyme (acquired by Sanofi-aventis), Harvest Technologies, Mesoblast, Nanofiber Solutions, Organovo, Osiris Therapeutics, Smiths Medical, Tengion, Tissue Genesis, Inc., Tissue Growth Technologies, Transmedics, United Therapeutics and W.L. Gore and Associates. Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, research and development, marketing, and personnel resources than we do. We cannot, with any accuracy, forecast when or if these companies are likely to bring regenerative medicine medical devices to market for indications that we are also pursuing. Many of these potential competitors may be further along in the process of product development and also operate large, company-funded research and development programs. It is also possible that some of our potential customers could engineer their own solutions to the problem of accurate injections.\nWe expect that other products will compete with our current and future products based on efficacy, safety, cost, and intellectual property positions. While we believe that these will be the primary competitive factors, other factors include obtaining marketing exclusivity under certain regulations, including the Orphan Drug Act, availability of supply, manufacturing, marketing and sales expertise and capability, and reimbursement coverage. Our competitors may develop or market products that are more effective or commercially attractive than our current or future products and may also develop competing relationships with our key collaborators. In addition, we may face competition from new entrants into the field. We may not have the financial resources, technical expertise or marketing, distribution or support capabilities to compete successfully in the future. The effects of any such actions of our competitors may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.\nIf we do not successfully manage our growth, our business goals may not be achieved.\nTo manage growth, we will be required to continue to improve existing, and implement additional, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, and hire, train and manage additional employees. Our current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our anticipated growth and we may not be able to hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel. Competition for qualified personnel in the technology and regenerative medicine area is intense, and we operate in several geographic locations where labor markets are particularly competitive, including Boston, Massachusetts, where demand for personnel with these skills is extremely high and is likely to remain high. As a result, competition for qualified personnel is intense and the process of hiring suitably qualified personnel is often lengthy and expensive, and may become more expensive in the future. If we are unable to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees or otherwise manage our growth effectively, our ability to conduct and expand our business could be seriously reduced.\nWe are exposed to a variety of risks relating to our international sales and operations, including fluctuations in exchange rates, local economic conditions and delays in collection of accounts receivable.\nWe intend to generate significant revenues outside the U.S. in multiple foreign currencies including Euros, British pounds, and in U.S. dollar-denominated transactions conducted with customers who generate revenue in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For those foreign customers who purchase our products in U.S. dollars, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which those customers do business may have a negative impact on the demand for our products in foreign countries where the U.S. dollar has increased in value compared to the local currency.\nSince we have operations based outside the U.S. and we generate revenues and incur operating expenses in multiple foreign currencies, we experience currency exchange risk with respect to those foreign currency-denominated revenues and expenses.\nWe cannot predict the consolidated effects of exchange rate fluctuations upon our future operating results because of the number of currencies involved, the variability of currency exposure and the potential volatility of currency exchange rates. Our international operations subject us to laws regarding sanctioned countries, entities and persons, customs, import-export, laws regarding transactions in foreign countries, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and local anti-bribery and other laws regarding interactions with healthcare professionals. Among other things, these laws restrict, and in some cases prohibit, U.S. companies from directly or indirectly selling goods, technology or services to people or entities in certain countries. In addition, these laws require that we exercise care in structuring our sales and marketing practices in foreign countries.\nLocal economic conditions, legal, regulatory or political considerations, disruptions from strikes, the effectiveness of our sales representatives and distributors, local competition and changes in local medical practice could also affect our sales to foreign markets. Relationships with customers and effective terms of sale frequently vary by country, often with longer-term receivables than are typical in the U.S.\nRisks Related To Separation\nAs long as Harvard Bioscience controls us, your ability to influence matters requiring stockholder approval will be extremely limited.\nHarvard Bioscience currently owns 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock. After this offering, Harvard Bioscience will continue to own at least 80% of our issued and outstanding common stock. As long as Harvard Bioscience owns a majority of our outstanding common stock, Harvard Bioscience will have the ability to take stockholder action without the vote of any other stockholder, and investors in this offering will not be able to affect the outcome of any stockholder vote during this period. As a result, Harvard Bioscience will have the ability to control all matters affecting us, including:\n\u0095 the composition of our board of directors and, through our board of directors, any determination with respect to our business plans and policies, including the appointment and removal of our officers;\n\u0095 any determinations with respect to mergers and other business combinations;\n\u0095 our acquisition or disposition of assets;\n\u0095 our financing activities;\n\u0095 changes to, and waivers of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s obligations under, the agreements providing for our separation from Harvard Bioscience;\n\u0095 the allocation of business opportunities that may be suitable for us and Harvard Bioscience;\n\u0095 the payment of dividends on our common stock;\n\u0095 certain determinations with respect to our tax returns; and\n\u0095 the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance under our equity plans.\nHarvard Bioscience\u0092s voting control may discourage transactions involving a change of control of us, including transactions in which you as a holder of our common stock might otherwise receive a premium for your shares over the then-current market price. Harvard Bioscience is not prohibited from selling a controlling interest in us to a third party and may do so without your approval and without providing for a purchase of your common stock. Accordingly, your shares of our common stock may be worth less than they would be if Harvard Bioscience did not maintain voting control over us.\nThis effective control on all matters relating to our business and operations could also eliminate the possibility of stockholders changing management in the event that stockholders did not agree with the conduct of officers and directors. Additionally, stockholders would potentially not be able to obtain the necessary stockholder vote to affect any change in the course of our business. This lack of stockholder control could prevent the stockholders from removing any of our directors who are not managing our company with sufficient skill to make it profitable, which could prevent us from becoming profitable, and in turn cause investors to lose all or part of their investment.\nWe may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from our separation from Harvard Bioscience.\nAs a stand-alone, independent public company, we believe that our business will benefit from, among other things, allowing our management to design and implement corporate policies and strategies that are based primarily on the characteristics of our business, allowing us to focus our financial resources wholly on our own operations and implement and maintain a capital structure designed to meet our own specific needs. By separating from Harvard Bioscience there is a risk that our company may be more susceptible to market fluctuations and other adverse events than we would have been were we still a part of Harvard Bioscience. We may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve as a stand-alone, independent regenerative medicine company or such benefits may be delayed or may not occur at all. For example, there can be no assurance that analysts and investors will place a greater value on our company as a stand-alone regenerative medicine company than on our business as a part of Harvard Bioscience.\nWe have no operating history as an independent company, and we may be unable to make the changes necessary to operate as an independent public company.\nPrior to the separation, our business was operated by Harvard Bioscience as part of its broader corporate organization rather than as a stand-alone company. Harvard Bioscience assisted us by providing financing and certain corporate functions. Following the separation, Harvard Bioscience will have no obligation to provide assistance to us other than the interim transitional services which will be provided by Harvard Bioscience. These transitional services include, among other things, financial and managerial services. Because our business has not been operated as an independent company, we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully implement the changes necessary to operate independently or that we will not incur additional costs operating independently that would have a negative effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.\nYour investment in our common stock may be adversely affected if Harvard Bioscience does not spin off the shares of our common stock owned by Harvard Bioscience.\nHarvard Bioscience has advised us that following the completion of this offering and the expiration or waiver of the applicable lock-up period, it intends to spin off all of the remaining shares of our common stock that it owns to its stockholders as soon as practicable. Harvard Bioscience expects that the spin-off will occur on or after the date that is four months following completion of this offering. The spin-off will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions. Harvard Bioscience may decide not to complete the spin-off if, at any time, Harvard Bioscience\u0092s board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the spin-off is not in the best interests of Harvard Bioscience or its stockholders. Unless and until the spin-off occurs, we will face the risks discussed in this prospectus relating to Harvard Bioscience, including its control of us and potential conflicts of interest between Harvard Bioscience and us. In addition, if a spin-off does not occur, the liquidity of the market for our common stock may be constrained for as long as Harvard Bioscience continues to hold a significant position in our common stock. A lack of liquidity in the market for our common stock may adversely affect our stock price.\nIf the separation and distribution, together with certain related transactions, does not qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Harvard Bioscience could be subject to significant tax liability and, in certain circumstances, we could be required to indemnify Harvard Bioscience for material taxes pursuant to indemnification obligations under the tax sharing agreement.\nHarvard Bioscience has applied for a private letter ruling from the IRS substantially to the effect that, among other things, the separation and distribution, together with certain related transactions, will qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code. Harvard Bioscience has advised us that it does not currently intend to complete the distribution if it has not obtained the IRS private letter ruling substantially to the effect that the separation and distribution, together with certain related transactions, will so qualify. The private letter ruling and the tax opinion that Harvard Bioscience expects to receive from Burns & Levinson LLP, special counsel to Harvard Bioscience, will rely on certain representations, assumptions and undertakings, including those relating to the past and future conduct of our business, and neither the private letter ruling nor the opinion would be valid if such representations, assumptions and undertakings were incorrect. Moreover, the private letter ruling does not address all the issues that are relevant to determining whether the distribution will qualify for tax-free treatment. Notwithstanding the private letter ruling and opinion, the IRS could determine the distribution should be treated as a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes if, among other reasons, it determines any of the representations, assumptions or undertakings that were included in the request for the private letter ruling are false or have been violated or if it disagrees with the conclusions in the opinion that are not covered by the IRS ruling.\nIf the distribution fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, in general, Harvard Bioscience would be subject to tax as if it had sold our common stock in a taxable sale for its fair market value, and Harvard Bioscience stockholders who receive shares of our common stock in the distribution would be subject to tax as if they had received a taxable distribution equal to the fair market value of such shares.\nUnder the tax sharing agreement between Harvard Bioscience and us, we would generally be required to indemnify Harvard Bioscience against any tax resulting from the distribution to the extent that such tax\nresulted from (i) an acquisition of all or a portion of our stock or assets, whether by merger or otherwise, (ii) other actions or failures to act by us, or (iii) any of our representations or undertakings being incorrect or violated. For a more detailed discussion, see \u0093Certain Relationships and Related Transactions \u0097 Agreements with Harvard Bioscience \u0097 Tax Sharing Agreement.\u0094 Our indemnification obligations to Harvard Bioscience and its subsidiaries, officers and directors are not limited by any maximum amount. If we are required to indemnify Harvard Bioscience or such other persons under the circumstances set forth in the tax sharing agreement, we may be subject to substantial liabilities.\nWe may not be able to engage in desirable strategic or capital-raising transactions following the distribution. In addition, under some circumstances, we could be liable for adverse tax consequences resulting from engaging in significant strategic or capital-raising transactions.\nTo preserve the tax-free treatment to Harvard Bioscience of the separation and distribution, for the two-year period following the distribution we may be limited, except in specified circumstances, from:\n\u0095 entering into any transaction pursuant to which all or a portion of our stock would be acquired, whether by merger or otherwise;\n\u0095 repurchasing our common stock;\n\u0095 ceasing to actively conduct our regenerative medicine business; and\n\u0095 taking or failing to take any other action that prevents the separation and distribution and related transactions from being tax-free.\nThese restrictions may limit our ability to pursue strategic transactions or engage in new business or other transactions that may maximize the value of our business.\nWe may be unable to make, on a timely or cost-effective basis, the changes necessary to operate as an independent company, and we may experience increased costs after the separation or as a result of the separation.\nFollowing the completion of our separation, Harvard Bioscience will be contractually obligated to provide to us only those services specified in the transition services agreement and the other agreements we enter into with Harvard Bioscience in preparation for the separation. The transition services agreement provides for services to be provided for various time frames of limited length, ranging from six to 12 months from the date of our separation. We may be unable to replace in a timely manner or on comparable terms the services or other benefits that Harvard Bioscience previously provided to us that are not specified in the transition services agreement or the other agreements. Also, upon the expiration of the terms of the required services under the transition services agreement or other agreements, such services will be provided internally or by unaffiliated third parties, and we expect that in some instances, we will incur higher costs to obtain such services than we incurred under the terms of such agreements. We anticipate that we will incur additional incremental expenses associated with being an independent, public company. These additional pretax expenses are estimated to be $ million for the year ending December 31, 2013. In addition, if Harvard Bioscience does not continue to perform effectively the transition services and the other services that are called for under the transition services agreement and other agreements, we may not be able to operate our business effectively and our operating results could be adversely affected. Furthermore, after the expiration of the terms of the required services under transition services agreement and the other agreements, we may be unable to replace in a timely manner or on comparable terms the services specified in such agreements.\nPrior to our separation, we have utilized the executive management team and administrative resources of Harvard Bioscience. Many daily functions have been performed by Harvard Bioscience, including those related to SEC filings and auditing and review by accountants of required financial statements, which will become our responsibility after the separation. In addition, there will be a time period during which such new personnel will have to learn the required systems for these functions. The lack of these relationships and resources may harm our operating results, financial condition and our ability to raise any required debt or equity funding.\nOur historical and pro forma financial information is not necessarily representative of the results we would have achieved as a separate publicly traded company and may not be a reliable indicator of our future results.\nThe historical financial and pro forma financial information we have included in this prospectus may not reflect what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been had we been an independent publicly traded company during the periods presented or what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future when we are an independent company. This is primarily because:\n\u0095 our historical and financial information reflects allocations for services historically provided to us by Harvard Bioscience, which allocations may not reflect the costs we will incur for similar services in the future as an independent company; and\n\u0095 our historical and financial information does not reflect changes that we expect to incur in the future as a result of our separation from Harvard Bioscience, including changes in the cost structure, personnel needs, financing and operations of the contributed business as a result of the separation from Harvard Bioscience and from reduced economies of scale.\nFollowing the separation and distribution, we also will be responsible for the additional costs associated with being an independent public company, including costs related to corporate governance and listed and registered securities. Therefore, our financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance as an independent company. For additional information about our past financial performance and the basis of presentation of our financial statements, please see \u0093Selected Historical Financial Data,\u0094 \u0093Management\u0092s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations\u0094 and our financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.\nWe may have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms we received in our agreements with Harvard Bioscience.\nThe agreements related to our separation from Harvard Bioscience, including the separation and distribution agreement, tax sharing agreement, transition services agreement and the other agreements, were negotiated in the context of our separation from Harvard Bioscience while we were still part of Harvard Bioscience and, accordingly, may not reflect terms that would have resulted from arm\u0092s-length negotiations among unaffiliated third parties. The terms of the agreements we negotiated in the context of our separation related to, among other things, allocation of assets, liabilities, rights, indemnifications and other obligations among Harvard Bioscience and us. We may have received better terms from third parties because third parties may have competed with each other to win our business. Some of our board members are also members of the Harvard Bioscience board. See \u0093Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.\u0094\nThe ownership by our executive officers and some of our directors of shares of common stock, options, or other equity awards of Harvard Bioscience, as well as the continued roles of our executive officers and certain directors with Harvard Bioscience prior to and after the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience, may create, or may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest.\nThe ownership by our executive officers and some of our directors of shares of common stock, options, or other equity awards of Harvard Bioscience may create, or may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest. Because of their current or former positions with Harvard Bioscience, certain of our executive officers, and some of our directors, own shares of Harvard Bioscience common stock, options to purchase shares of Harvard Bioscience common stock or other equity awards. The individual holdings of common stock, options to purchase common stock of Harvard Bioscience or our company or other equity awards, may be significant for some of these persons compared to such persons\u0092 total assets. Ownership by our directors and officers, after our separation, of common stock or options to purchase common stock of Harvard Bioscience, or any other equity awards, creates, or, may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest when these directors and officers are faced with decisions that could have different implications for Harvard Bioscience than the decisions have for us. In addition, certain of our directors and executive officers will remain in service for or employed by both our company as well as Harvard Bioscience following any consummation of this offering. Our executive officers will remain employed by Harvard Bioscience until Harvard Bioscience completes its planned distribution of our common stock to its stockholders and certain of our directors are expected to\nremain on the board of directors of Harvard Bioscience following the planned distribution. The continued service or employment relationships at both companies creates, or, may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest when these directors or executive officers are faced with decisions that could have different implications for Harvard Bioscience than the decisions have for us.\nThird parties may seek to hold us responsible for liabilities of Harvard Bioscience that we did not assume in our agreements.\nIn connection with our separation from Harvard Bioscience, Harvard Bioscience has generally agreed to retain all liabilities that did not historically arise from our business. Third parties may seek to hold us responsible for Harvard Bioscience\u0092s retained liabilities. Under our agreements with Harvard Bioscience, Harvard Bioscience has agreed to indemnify us for claims and losses relating to these retained liabilities. However, if those liabilities are significant and we are ultimately liable for them, we cannot assure you that we will be able to recover the full amount of our losses from Harvard Bioscience.\nAny disputes that arise between us and Harvard Bioscience with respect to our past and ongoing relationships could harm our business operations.\nDisputes may arise between Harvard Bioscience and us in a number of areas relating to our past and ongoing relationships, including:\n\u0095 intellectual property, technology and business matters, including failure to make required technology transfers and failure to comply with non-compete provisions applicable to Harvard Bioscience and us;\n\u0095 labor, tax, employee benefit, indemnification and other matters arising from our separation from Harvard Bioscience;\n\u0095 distribution and supply obligations;\n\u0095 employee retention and recruiting;\n\u0095 business combinations involving us;\n\u0095 sales or distributions by Harvard Bioscience of all or any portion of its ownership interest in us;\n\u0095 the nature, quality and pricing of transitional services Harvard Bioscience has agreed to provide us; and\n\u0095 business opportunities that may be attractive to both Harvard Bioscience and us.\nWe may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts, and even if we do, the resolution may be less favorable than if we were dealing with an unaffiliated party.\nThe agreements we have entered into with Harvard Bioscience may be amended upon agreement between the parties. While we are controlled by Harvard Bioscience, Harvard Bioscience may be able to require us to agree to amendments to these agreements that may be less favorable to us than the original terms of the agreements.\nThere is no existing market for our common stock and a trading market that will provide you with adequate liquidity may not develop for our common stock.\nThere is currently no public market for our common stock. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development of a trading market in our common stock, or how liquid that market might be. If an active market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling your shares of our common stock. The initial public offering price of our common stock will be determined by the negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following the completion of this offering.\nOur revenues, operating results and cash flows may fluctuate in future periods and we may fail to meet investor expectations, which may cause the price of our common stock to decline.\nVariations in our quarterly and year-end operating results are difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly from period to period. If our sales or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. In addition to the other factors discussed under these \u0093Risk Factors,\u0094 specific factors that may cause fluctuations in our operating results include:\n\u0095 demand and pricing for our products;\n\u0095 government or private healthcare reimbursement policies;\n\u0095 physician and patient acceptance of any of our current or future products;\n\u0095 manufacturing stoppages or delays;\n\u0095 introduction of competing products;\n\u0095 our operating expenses which fluctuate due to growth of our business; and\n\u0095 timing and size of any new product or technology acquisitions we may complete.\nOnce our common stock begins trading, the market price of our shares may fluctuate widely.\nWe cannot predict the prices at which our common stock may trade after this offering or after the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate widely, depending upon many factors, some of which may be beyond our control, including:\n\u0095 the potential spin-off by Harvard Bioscience of shares of our common stock, including that our business profile and market capitalization may not fit the investment objectives of Harvard Bioscience stockholders, and as a result, Harvard Bioscience stockholders may sell our shares after the distribution;\n\u0095 the success or failure of surgeries and procedures involving the use our products;\n\u0095 the success and costs of preclinical and clinical testing and obtaining regulatory approvals or clearances for our products;\n\u0095 a shift in our investor base;\n\u0095 our quarterly or annual results of operations, or those of other companies in our industry;\n\u0095 actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results due to factors related to our business;\n\u0095 changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;\n\u0095 announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, dispositions or intellectual property developments or issuances;\n\u0095 the failure to maintain our NASDAQ listing or failure of securities analysts to cover our common stock after the distribution;\n\u0095 changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or our ability to meet those estimates;\n\u0095 the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;\n\u0095 overall market fluctuations; and\nStock markets in general have experienced volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.\nSubstantial sales of common stock may occur following the planned distribution by Harvard Bioscience, which could cause our stock price to decline.\nThe shares of our common stock that Harvard Bioscience distributes to its stockholders generally will be able to be sold immediately in the public market following the planned distribution. Some Harvard Bioscience stockholders, including possibly some of its large stockholders, may sell our common stock received in the distribution for reasons such as that our business profile or market capitalization as an independent company does not fit their investment objectives. The sales of significant amounts of our common stock, or the perception in the market that this will occur, may result in a decline in the price of our common stock.\nYour percentage ownership will be diluted in the future.\nYour percentage ownership will be diluted in the future because of equity awards that we expect will be granted to our directors, officers and employees and the accelerated vesting of other equity awards. Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors and Harvard Bioscience will have approved our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the grant of equity-based awards, including restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to our directors, officers and other employees, advisors and consultants. In addition, your percentage ownership will be diluted by our issuance of common stock following the exercise of options, or vesting of restricted stock units, we expect to issue pertaining to the adjustment and conversion of outstanding Harvard Bioscience equity awards upon the effectiveness of the spin-off of our company.\nOur costs will increase significantly as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to complying with public company regulations.\nWe have historically operated our business as a division of a public company. As a public company with separate SEC reporting, regulatory, and stock exchange listing requirements, we will incur additional legal, accounting, compliance, and other expenses that we have not incurred historically. After completion of this offering, we will be obligated to file with the SEC annual and quarterly information and other reports that are specified in Section 13 and other sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and therefore will need to have the ability to prepare financial statements that are compliant with all SEC reporting requirements on a timely basis. In addition, we will be subject to other reporting and corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market and certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its associated regulations, which will impose significant compliance obligations upon us.\nSarbanes-Oxley and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and the Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the NASDAQ Stock Market, have increased regulation of, and imposed enhanced disclosure and corporate governance requirements on, public companies. Our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards in this regard are likely to result in increased marketing, selling, and administrative expenses, as well as a diversion of management\u0092s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. These changes will require a significant commitment of additional resources. We may not be successful in implementing these requirements, and implementing them could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. We also expect these recent regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified officers and members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee, and make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, and costly. In addition, if we fail to implement the required controls with respect to our internal accounting and audit functions, our ability to report our results of operations on a timely and accurate basis could be impaired. If we do not implement such required controls in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we might be subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities, such as the SEC or the NASDAQ Stock Market. Any such action could harm our reputation and the confidence of investors and clients in our company and could negatively affect our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.\nProvisions of Delaware law, of our amended and restated charter and amended and restated bylaws and our Shareholder Rights Plan may make a takeover more difficult, which could cause our stock price to decline.\nProvisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and in the Delaware corporate law may make it difficult and expensive for a third party to pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt, which is opposed by management and the board of directors. Public stockholders who might desire to participate in such a transaction may not have an opportunity to do so. In , 2013, our board of directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, our company or a large block of our common stock. A third party that acquires 20% or more of our common stock could suffer substantial dilution of its ownership interest under the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan through the issuance of common stock to all stockholders other than the acquiring person. We also have a staggered board of directors that makes it difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the board of directors in any one year. After the planned distribution by Harvard Bioscience, any removal of directors will require a super-majority vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares entitled to be cast on the election of directors which may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us. These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede the ability of public stockholders to change our management and board of directors. Such provisions may also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of our common stock in the future.\nAny issuance of preferred stock in the future may dilute the rights of our common stockholders.\nOur board of directors has the authority to issue up to shares of preferred stock and to determine the price, privileges and other terms of these shares. Our board of directors may exercise this authority without any further approval of stockholders. The rights of the holders of common stock may be adversely affected by the rights of future holders of preferred stock.\nWe do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock.\nCurrently, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be a stockholder\u0092s sole source of gain.\nThe recently enacted JOBS Act will allow us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC. We cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.\nWe are and we will remain an \u0093emerging growth company\u0094 until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a \u0093large accelerated filer\u0094 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an \u0093emerging growth company\u0094 as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not \u0093emerging growth companies\u0094 including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on some or all of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. If we avail ourselves of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements, our reduced disclosure may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate us and may result in less investor confidence.\nUnless otherwise indicated, statements in this prospectus concerning our market and the segments in which we operate, including our general expectations and competitive position, business opportunity, and category size, growth, and share, are based on information from independent industry organizations and other third-party sources (including industry publications, surveys, and forecasts), government publications, data from our internal research, and management estimates.

We are currently a wholly- owned subsidiary of Harvard Bioscience. Harvard Bioscience will not sell any of its shares of our common stock as part of this offering. We will issue new, incremental shares of common stock in this offering. After the completion of this offering, Harvard Bioscience will own at least 80% of our outstanding common stock. At that point, Harvard Bioscience, as majority owner, will still control our company.\nWe were incorporated by Harvard Bioscience to provide a means for separating its regenerative medicine device business from Harvard Bioscience\u0092s life science research tools businesses. Harvard Bioscience has been designing and manufacturing devices for life science researchers for over 100 years. Harvard Bioscience first focused on providing devices to scientists involved in regenerative medicine research in 2008. Since early 2009, Harvard Bioscience\u0092s regenerative medicine device business initiative operated as a part of Harvard Bioscience. Most of our products began as products made and sold by the Harvard Apparatus division of Harvard Bioscience. Harvard Apparatus began at Harvard Medical School in 1901 and is one of the best known and most respected brand names in physiology research. We believe this expertise and reputation are major advantages in attracting leading physicians as collaborators and will ultimately be valuable in selling our products to hospitals and clinicians. We will continue to pursue our business of developing and making devices for regenerative medicine researchers and clinicians.\nPrior to this offering, Harvard Bioscience will have contributed to us the assets of its regenerative medicine device business and cash in an amount equal to approximately $10 million. We had no material assets or activities as a separate corporate entity until the contribution to us by Harvard Bioscience of the businesses described in this prospectus.\nFor several reasons enumerated in \u0093Benefits of Separation\u0094 below, Harvard Bioscience decided to separate its regenerative medicine device business into a separate corporate entity, authorize such entity to sell equity to raise capital and then spin-off its interest in our company to the Harvard Bioscience stockholders. Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into agreements with Harvard Bioscience that will govern the separation of our businesses from Harvard Bioscience and various interim and ongoing relationships. These agreements will be in effect as of the completion of this offering. These agreements will provide for, among other things, the transfer from Harvard Bioscience to us of assets and the assumption by us of liabilities comprising our businesses, employee and tax-related matters, intellectual property cross licenses, product distribution agreements, non-competition agreements and the transitional services Harvard Bioscience will provide to us. All of the agreements relating to our separation from Harvard Bioscience will be made in the context of a parent-subsidiary relationship and will be entered into in the overall context of our separation from Harvard Bioscience. See \u0093Certain Relationships and Related Transactions \u0097 Agreements with Harvard Bioscience\u0094 for a more detailed discussion of these agreements. For more information regarding the assets and liabilities to be transferred to us, see financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The terms of these agreements may be more or less favorable to us than if they had been negotiated with unaffiliated third parties. See \u0093Risk Factors \u0097 Risks Related To Separation \u0097 We may have received better terms from unaffiliated third parties than the terms we received in our agreements with Harvard Bioscience.\u0094\nWe intend to establish two wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, one in Germany and the other in Sweden that, in accordance with certain transition agreements between us and Harvard Bioscience, will be provided with services from certain subsidiaries of Harvard Bioscience.\nWe believe that the business benefits that will occur as a result of this offering, and be more fully realized upon a later spin-off, include:\n\u0095 Market recognition of the value of our business. As we will be a separate public company after this offering, potential investors will be able to invest directly in our regenerative medicine business.\n\u0095 Focused management attention. Our management will be better able to focus its attention on our business. As a company dedicated to the regenerative medicine industry, capitalizing on emerging trends, and introducing new products and product extensions of our existing products, we expect to be in a better position to grow our business and to serve our customers more effectively through more efficient deployment of resources, increased operational flexibility, and enhanced responsiveness to customers.\n\u0095 Improved access to capital. As a separate public company, we will avoid conflicts in the allocation of capital between us and other Harvard Bioscience businesses. Rather, we will have direct access to the capital markets to issue equity or debt securities, which we expect will improve our access to capital and increase our flexibility to invest in innovation, product development, marketing, and production capacity, as well as to pursue strategic acquisitions.\n\u0095 Incentives for employees more directly linked to our performance. We expect to enhance employee motivation and to strengthen our management\u0092s focus on our business through incentive compensation programs specifically tied to the results of our business operations and the market performance of our common stock. We believe that these incentives will enhance our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.\nDistribution by Harvard Bioscience of Our Shares\nHarvard Bioscience plans to distribute all of the shares of our common stock it owns to Harvard Bioscience\u0092s stockholders on or shortly after the date that is four months after the completion of this offering by means of a spin-off, which is a pro rata distribution by Harvard Bioscience of the shares of our common stock it owns to holders of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock. Harvard Bioscience\u0092s agreement to complete the distribution is contingent on the satisfaction or waiver of a variety of conditions, including the receipt by Harvard Bioscience of a private letter ruling from the IRS substantially to the effect that, among other things, the distribution, together with certain related transactions, will qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of Internal Revenue Code, or the Code. In addition, Harvard Bioscience has the right to terminate its obligations to complete the distribution if, at any time, Harvard Bioscience\u0092s board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the distribution is not in the best interests of Harvard Bioscience or its stockholders. As a result, the distribution may not occur by the contemplated time or at all. Following the distribution, Harvard Bioscience will no longer own any of our outstanding common stock and we will thus be a separate corporate entity.\nRegistrar and Transfer Company, which currently serves as the transfer agent and registrar for Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock, will serve as transfer agent and registrar for our common stock and as distribution agent in connection with the distribution.\nDilution Related to the Distribution by Harvard Bioscience of Our Shares\nAt the time of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s distribution of our common stock it then owns, holders of Harvard Bioscience stock options and restricted stock units issued previously to employees and directors as part of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s equity compensation plans, including our executive officers and certain of our directors, will receive an adjustment to their stock options and restricted stock units because those securities will not participate in the distribution. Such adjustment is required under Harvard Bioscience\u0092s employee benefit plans. The adjustments will be based on the estimated value of the entire distribution, as measured by the relationship between Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock price just prior to and after the distribution. We expect that Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock price will decrease due to Harvard Bioscience\u0092s distribution of our shares, which would cause an adjustment to the quantity of outstanding Harvard Bioscience stock options and restricted stock units and to the exercise price of outstanding Harvard Bioscience options. It is\ncurrently anticipated that Black-Scholes valuation modeling will be used to determine the value that each Harvard Bioscience option has lost at the time of the distribution. We expect that, for adjustments to the quantity of outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, Harvard Bioscience will provide 80% of the value of the adjustment by issuing the holder additional Harvard Bioscience restricted stock units and options for shares of Harvard Bioscience common stock and 20% of the value of the adjustment will be provided by us issuing restricted stock units and options for shares of our common stock. The share amounts and exercise prices of the adjusted Harvard Bioscience awards and our awards would be adjusted in a manner to ensure the intrinsic value held by the holder pertaining to the existing Harvard Bioscience award is maintained immediately following the distribution and shall be determined in a manner designed to result in no tax being triggered under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The exercise price of our common stock options to be issued as part of the distribution adjustment described above will equal the closing price of our common stock on the grant date.\nThe total value of the adjustments to be granted to holders of Harvard Bioscience options and restricted stock units due to Harvard Bioscience\u0092s distribution of its shares of our common stock will depend on Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock price just prior to and after the distribution. Many factors may influence Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock price just before and after the distribution, including, but not limited, to the value of our company reflected in Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock price just prior to the distribution, the liquidity and trading volumes in Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock, conditions in Harvard Bioscience\u0092s other businesses, general economic conditions, events outside of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s business that may affect Harvard Bioscience\u0092s stock price and activities in stock markets at large. The total value of the adjustments will also depend on other estimates, including those involved in valuing options. As a result, the number of options for our common stock and the quantity of our restricted stock units to be issued at the time of the distribution is not known at this time. Subject to the above qualifications, assuming that the market price of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock was $ per share immediately prior to the distribution and $ per share immediately after the distribution, and the market price of our common stock was $ per share immediately after the distribution, we expect that we would issue approximately options to acquire shares of our common stock and approximately restricted stock units as a part of the required adjustment to the outstanding Harvard Bioscience stock options and restricted stock units described above.\nOur stock options and restricted stock units issued at the distribution to holders of Harvard Bioscience stock options and restricted stock units issued previously to employees and directors as part of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s equity compensation plans will vest in tandem with the originally-issued stock options and restricted stock units for the remaining life of the originally-issued stock options and restricted stock units. The continued vesting and exercisability of the stock options and restricted stock units will be conditioned on the recipient\u0092s continued service to or employment with Harvard Bioscience or our company.\nSeparately, certain of our employees and directors, including our executive officers, are holders of vested and unvested options to buy Harvard Bioscience common stock and unvested restricted stock units pertaining to Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock. Vesting and exercisability of such options and restricted stock units will continue through their original expiration dates so long as the individual holder is employed or providing service to us or Harvard Bioscience.\nWith respect to individual owners of both options and/or restricted stock units issued by our company and those issued by Harvard Bioscience, the compensation expense for such options and restricted stock units will be recognized by the company receiving the individual\u0092s services. However, cash proceeds from the future option exercises will be realized by the company that issued the respective option.\nThe net proceeds from the sale of common stock by us in this offering will be approximately $ million, based on the initial public offering price of $ per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. A $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public price per share of , the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately , assuming the number of shares offered by us, set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering price by us. If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional shares, we expect to receive approximately $ million of additional net proceeds. In addition, Harvard Bioscience has agreed to contribute cash to us upon the closing of this offering in an amount equal to approximately $10 million.\nThe principal purposes of this offering are to obtain additional capital and to create a public market for our common stock. We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, including spending for research and development, business development, sales and marketing, capital expenditures and working capital.\nPending such uses, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in bank deposit accounts, short-term, interest-bearing obligations, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.\nPrior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price will be negotiated among us and the underwriters. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of our common stock, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses. We offer no assurances that the initial public offering price will correspond to the price at which our common stock will trade in the public market subsequent to this offering or that an active trading market for our common stock will develop and continue after this offering.\nWe have never declared or paid cash dividends. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, but currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. The payment of cash dividends, if any, on the common stock will rest solely within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, legal requirements, and other relevant factors as determined by our board of directors. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay any dividends if we do commence the payment of dividends.\n\u0095 on an actual basis; and\n\u0095 on a pro forma \u0093as adjusted\u0094 basis to reflect the pro forma transactions, which are comprised of:\n\u0095 the receipt of approximately $ million in net proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed initial offering price of $ per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us; and\n\u0095 the receipt of approximately $10 million in cash from Harvard Bioscience;\n\u0095 shares of our common stock that may be issued in connection with the exercise or vesting of options or restricted stock units we issue pertaining to the adjustment and conversion of outstanding Harvard Bioscience equity awards upon the effectiveness of the spin-off, as described in \u0093Director and Executive Compensation \u0097 Treatment of Outstanding Harvard Bioscience Equity Awards;\u0094 and\n\u0095 assumes the underwriters will not exercise their over-allotment option.\nYou should read the information in the following table together with \u0093Use of Proceeds,\u0094 \u0093Selected Financial Data,\u0094 \u0093Management\u0092s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,\u0094 and our audited and unaudited financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.\nHistorical Pro forma as adjusted\nCash and cash equivalents $ \u0097 $\nLong-term debt $ \u0097 $\nTotal invested equity $ 140 $\nPreferred stock, $0.01 par value; no shares authorized; no shares issued and outstanding \u0097\nCommon stock, $0.01 par value; shares authorized; shares issued and outstanding as adjusted \u0097\nAdditional paid-in capital \u0097\nTotal stockholders\u0092 equity \u0097\nTotal capitalization $ 140 $\nAssuming the receipt of approximately $10 million in cash from Harvard Bioscience and no change in the number of shares offered by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, a $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) would increase (decrease) each of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, and total stockholders\u0092 equity by $ , and would increase (decrease) total capitalization by $ , after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by us.\nDilution represents the difference between the initial offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder, Harvard Bioscience.\nAt , 2012, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $ or approximately $ per share based upon shares outstanding. After giving effect to our sale of shares of common stock at an initial public offering price of $ per share (which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value as of , 2012 would have been $ , or $ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per share to our existing stockholder, Harvard Bioscience, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $ per share to purchasers of securities in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:\nAssumed initial public offering price per share $\nPro forma net tangible book value per share\nas of , 2012 $\nPro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share\nafter this offering\nDilution per share to new investors in this offering $\nIf the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering would be $ per share. This represents an increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $ per share to existing stockholders and dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $ per share to new investors.\nA $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ , the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering by $ million and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by $ per share and would increase (decrease) the dilution per share to new investors in this offering by $ per share, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. The information discussed above is illustrative only and may change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing.\nThe above discussion does not include the shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans and:\nThe following table sets forth our selected financial data for the periods and as of the dates indicated.

We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this prospectus.\nHarvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harvard Bioscience, Inc. We were incorporated on May 3, 2012 by Harvard Bioscience to provide a means for separating its regenerative medicine device business from its other businesses. Harvard Bioscience has been designing and manufacturing devices for life science researchers for over 100 years. Harvard Bioscience first focused on providing devices to scientists involved in regenerative medicine research in 2008. Since early 2009, Harvard Bioscience\u0092s regenerative medicine device business initiative has been operated as a division of Harvard Bioscience. Harvard Bioscience decided to separate its regenerative medicine business into our company, a separate corporate entity, to authorize us to raise capital by selling equity and then to spin off its interest in our business to its stockholders. Prior to this offering, Harvard Bioscience will have contributed the assets of its regenerative medicine device business and approximately $10 million in cash to us. We had no material assets or activities as a separate corporate entity until the contribution to us by Harvard Bioscience of those assets and that business. We will continue to pursue our business of developing and making devices for regenerative medicine researchers and clinicians.\nWe are a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company developing life-saving medical devices. Our first products are a bioreactor and a synthetic scaffold that can be used by surgeons to create a replacement trachea, or airway, for patients who need an airway transplant. Our bioreactor technology has been used in six successful human airway transplant surgeries, including what we believe to be the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway. In addition, we believe the second surgery using our technology was the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway using a synthetic scaffold. We use our depth of knowledge, our existing technologies and products and continued research and development to develop and provide devices to be used by physicians for growing organs outside the body for transplant. We are also developing a clinical infusion pump based on Harvard Apparatus\u0092s market-leading research syringe pump technology for use by clinicians.\nBusiness Drivers/Factors Affecting Results of Operations\nTo date, our business efforts have been focused on developing and providing new bioreactor products to regenerative medicine researchers and practitioners and on developing a clinical infusion pump. We have not generated revenues to date. Going forward, we intend to generate revenues from the sale of our synthetic scaffolds and bioreactors, some of which will be given to certain key researcher collaborators to accelerate development of new bioreactor technologies and some of which will generate revenues. Until we receive regulatory agency approvals to market one or more bioreactor systems for clinical use we expect our costs to exceed our revenues. Over the next few years we also expect to generate revenues from sales of clinical infusion pumps. However, we expect our initial sales will be of research-only infusion pumps, and until we\nreceive regulatory agency approval to market infusion pumps for clinical use we expect the addressable market opportunity and sales of infusion pumps will be modest.\nOnce we receive regulatory agency approvals to market our bioreactor and synthetic scaffold for surgeons to use in human transplant procedures, especially for trachea transplants, we expect to generate meaningful revenues. At that time we anticipate that we will be paid on a per-procedure basis for the use of our bioreactor and scaffold products. Although we hope to receive regulatory approvals to market our bioreactors and synthetic scaffolds for use by surgeons to perform transplants of additional organs, we expect that approval for our trachea transplant products alone will lead to sufficient sales for us to achieve profitability. In addition, we may seek approval under the orphan biologics pathway for the use of our scaffold and bioreactor system, including cells, for regenerated trachea transplant, which could provide market exclusivity for up to seven years.\nHistorically, we have operated as part of Harvard Bioscience, and not as a stand-alone company. Financial statements were not previously prepared for us since we did not operate as a separate legal entity prior to our separation from Harvard Bioscience. The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on the historical Harvard Bioscience regenerative medicine device business, which we prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements required that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the expenses during the reporting periods presented. Assets and liabilities have been presented at Harvard Bioscience\u0092s book values for those items at the dates of the financial statements. Certain of the expenses were allocated based on estimates of costs incurred by Harvard Bioscience on behalf of the regenerative medicine business or services provided by Harvard Bioscience personnel who were not wholly engaged in the regenerative medicine device business but who supported that business directly or indirectly during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.\nRelated Party Relationship with Harvard Bioscience\nHarvard Bioscience will not sell any of its shares of our common stock as part of this offering. We will issue new, incremental shares of common stock in this offering. After the completion of this offering, Harvard Bioscience will own a majority of our outstanding common stock and, as majority owner, will still control us.\nHarvard Bioscience plans to distribute all of the shares of our common stock it then owns to Harvard Bioscience\u0092s stockholders on or after the date that is four months after the completion of this offering by means of a spin-off, which is a pro rata distribution by Harvard Bioscience of the shares of our common stock it owns to holders of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock. Harvard Bioscience\u0092s agreement to complete the distribution is contingent on the satisfaction or waiver of a variety of conditions. In addition, Harvard Bioscience has the right to terminate its obligations to complete the distribution if, at any time, Harvard Bioscience\u0092s board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the distribution is not in the best interests of Harvard Bioscience or its stockholders. As a result, the distribution may not occur by the contemplated time or at all.\nPrior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into agreements with Harvard Bioscience that will govern the separation of our businesses from Harvard Bioscience and various interim and ongoing relationships. These agreements will be in effect as of the completion of this offering. They will provide for, among other things, the transfer from Harvard Bioscience to us of assets and the assumption by us of liabilities comprising our businesses. In accordance with such agreements, we expect to pay Harvard Bioscience to provide continued services in the areas of accounting, payroll, benefits administration, information services and technology, engineering and marketing communications for periods ranging from six months to one year. All of the agreements relating to our separation from Harvard Bioscience will be made in the context of a parent-subsidiary relationship and will be entered into in the overall context of our separation from Harvard Bioscience. The terms of these agreements may be more or less favorable to us than if they had been negotiated with unaffiliated third parties.\nComponents of Operating Loss\nResearch and development expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel and contracted consultants to develop our new products. Other research and development expenses include the costs of outside service providers and material costs for prototype and test units. We expense research and development costs as incurred.\nGeneral and administrative expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries and other related costs for personnel in executive, accounting, information technology and human resources roles. Other costs include professional fees for legal and accounting services, insurance, investor relations and facility costs.\nSales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of salaries and related expenses for personnel performing sales, marketing, and business development roles, and costs associated with their travel and participation in trade shows and conferences. It also includes the costs of catalogs, marketing communications and web site development and maintenance.\nResearch and development expense increased $1.3 million, or 80%, to $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Of the $1.3 million increase, approximately $0.9 million related to a substantial increase in our activities in organ bioreactor research and development and $0.4 million represented increased efforts in the clinical infusion pump. The increased bioreactor development costs in 2012 included additional engineering and technical resources. These increases were made to support a greater number of regenerative medicine collaborators and to accelerate the development of several new bioreactors to help further their research efforts. The increased activities related to organ bioreactor also included the costs related to three trachea transplant procedures, compared with one such procedure in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.\nGeneral and administrative expense increased $0.9 million, or 117%, to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Of the $0.9 million increase, $0.2 million was due to greater legal fees associated with the organization and operation of the business. Approximately $0.4 million of the year-to-year increase related to increased management focus from Harvard Bioscience\u0092s senior executives which increased our allocated expense. Payroll-related costs for such individuals were allocated to our business based on the percentage of their time spent managing or supporting our business. Also, we established a quality assurance and regulatory compliance function during 2011 which accounted for approximately $0.1 million of the year-to-year general and administrative expense increase, audit costs increased by $0.1 million and various other costs increased by a combined $0.1 million year-to-year.\nSales and marketing expense increased approximately $23,000, or 32%, to $91,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $68,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to greater market development costs related to our bioreactor products.\nResearch and development expense increased $1.6 million, or 214%, to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Of the $1.6 million increase, approximately $1.2 million related to a substantial increase in resources devoted to our development of a clinical infusion pump product and $0.4 million reflected increased efforts in our organ bioreactor development program, including the costs related to our support of two human trachea transplants during\n2011. Approximately $1.1 million of the year-to-year cost increase in the clinical infusion pump project represented additional engineering headcount and consulting costs related to design and engineering services. The increased bioreactor-related research and development costs in 2011 included the effects of three of our scientists devoting a much greater percentage of their time to the regenerative medicine device business in that year compared with the prior year, and the payroll-related costs of one scientist hired during 2011.\nGeneral and administrative expense increased approximately $0.7 million, or 119%, to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Of the $0.7 million increase, approximately $0.3 million of the year-to-year increase related to increased management focus from Harvard Bioscience\u0092s senior executives which increased our allocated expense. Payroll-related costs for such individuals were allocated to our business based on the percentage of their time spent managing or supporting our business. Of the $0.7 million year-to-year increase in general and administrative expense, $0.2 million represented other Harvard Bioscience costs allocated to our business and $0.1 million represented an increase in professional fees.\nSales and marketing expense increased approximately $0.2 million, or 303%, to $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with $53,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the costs to publish a catalog, brochures and marketing literature, greater tradeshow participation and web site content development.\nComparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2010 and the Period from February 24, 2009 (Inception) to December 31, 2009\nResearch and development expense increased $0.3 million, or 85%, to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with $0.4 million for the period ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to greater payroll-related costs and consulting fees incurred for our clinical infusion pump development project in 2010.\nGeneral and administrative expense increased approximately $0.4 million, or 202%, to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with $0.2 million for the period ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily related to increased management focus from Harvard Bioscience\u0092s senior executives, which increased our allocated expense. Payroll-related costs for such individuals were allocated to our business based on the percentage of their time spent managing or supporting our business.\nSales and marketing expense was approximately $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. No sales and marketing expense was incurred during the period ended December 31, 2009. The 2010 sales and marketing expenses were primarily payroll-related costs allocated to our business by Harvard Bioscience for employees who supported our market development efforts that year.\nSources of liquidity. We have incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flow since inception, and we had an accumulated deficit of $10.4 million as of September 30, 2012. Since inception, our operations have been funded by contributions from Harvard Bioscience. We are currently investing significant resources in the development and commercialization of our products for use by clinicians and researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. As a result, we expect to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future.\nWe will raise approximately $ million from the issuance and sale of shares of our common stock in this offering. In addition, concurrent with the completion of this offering, Harvard Bioscience will contribute approximately $10 million in cash to us.\nOperating activities. Net cash used in operating activities of $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily a result of our $4.7 million net loss, offset by the add-back of non-cash expenses of $0.3 million of stock-based compensation and $38,000 of depreciation. Net cash used in operating activities of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily a result of our $2.5 million net loss, offset by the add-back of non-cash expenses of $0.2 million of stock-based compensation.\nNet cash used in operating activities of $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 was primarily a result of our $3.8 million net loss and a $0.1 million unfavorable effect from the change in working capital, partially offset by a $0.3 million add-back of non-cash expenses.\nNet cash used in operating activities of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 was primarily a result of our $1.4 million net loss, partially offset by a $0.1 million add-back of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and a $0.2 million favorable effect from the change in working capital.\nNet cash used in operating activities of $0.5 million for the period from February 24, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2009 was a result of our $0.6 million net loss, partially offset by a $0.1 million favorable effect from the change in working capital.\nInvesting activities. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2011 reflected additions to property, plant and equipment.\nFinancing activities. Cash generated from financing activities in all periods presented represented Harvard Bioscience\u0092s funding of our business activities.\nTax Attributes Relating to Historical Operating Losses\nAll tax attributes, including net operating losses and tax credits, related to our operating losses through the date of our separation from Harvard Bioscience will remain with Harvard Bioscience following the separation.\nOption Vesting, Compensation Expense and Exercise Proceeds\nIn connection with the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience, we expect to issue options to purchase our common stock and restricted stock units to Harvard Bioscience employees and directors who hold options and restricted stock units issued by Harvard Bioscience prior to the distribution. Such stock options and restricted stock units that we issue at the distribution will vest in tandem with the stock options and restricted stock units originally-issued by Harvard Bioscience for the remaining life of such stock options and restricted stock units. The continued vesting and exercisability of the stock options and restricted stock units we issue will be conditional on the recipient\u0092s continued service to or employment with Harvard Bioscience or our company.\nFuture Funding Requirements\nWe have generated operating losses each year to date. We do not expect to generate sufficient revenues to achieve annual earnings or positive cash flows until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize one of our organ bioreactors and synthetic scaffolds. Until that time, we expect to maintain or increase our ongoing development activities. Also, upon the closing of this offering, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a publicly-traded company.\nBased on our current operating plan, we believe that the net proceeds from this offering and the approximately $10 million cash contribution from Harvard Bioscience will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses, working capital needs and capital expenditures for at least the next 24 months. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Further, our strategy or business plan may change in the future, possibly changing the rate of our spending or need for additional capital. We may need to secure future funding through equity offerings, debt financings, government funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations or strategic alliances. Equity offerings would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, could result in agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or paying dividends. If we raise additional funds through government funding, marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations or strategic alliances we may have to relinquish rights to our technologies or future revenue streams, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in raising additional capital on favorable terms or at all. In addition, to preserve the tax-free treatment to Harvard Bioscience of the distribution, for the two-year period following the distribution we will be limited in issuing equity securities beyond certain thresholds which will may limit our ability to raise additional capital.\nWe have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including unrecorded derivative instruments that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.\nEffect of Inflation and Changes in Prices\nWe do not expect inflation and changes in price to have a material effect on our operations in the next year.\nRecent Authoritative Accounting Guidance\nSection 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an \u0093emerging growth company\u0094 can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.\nOur financial statements, which appear at page F-1, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates and, in connection therewith, adopt certain accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 to our financial statements included in this prospectus. Of those policies, we believe that the policies discussed below may involve a higher degree of judgment and may be more critical to an accurate reflection of our financial condition and results of operations.\nWe account for stock-based payment awards in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Compensation \u0097 Stock Compensation, which requires us to recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards, including stock options and restricted stock units, made to employees and directors. All amounts shown in the financial statements presented in this prospectus related to stock-based compensation pertain to Harvard Bioscience employees who were participants in the Harvard Bioscience stock option plans and/or the Harvard Bioscience Employee Stock Purchase Plan and were directly involved in the regenerative medicine device business and were allocated based upon each participant\u0092s time spent on our business.\nWe value stock-based payment awards, except restricted stock awards, at grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Our determination of fair value of stock-based payment awards has been affected by the Harvard Bioscience common stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, such as expected stock price volatility and employee forfeitures over the terms of the awards.\nStock-based compensation expense recognized under FASB ASC 718 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0.3 million, $0.1 million and $31,000, respectively, which consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to employee stock options, the Harvard Bioscience Employee Stock Purchase Plan and restricted stock units. We record stock compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for all awards granted.\nAlso, we expect to grant to certain of our executives, employees and our directors, upon determination of the initial offering price, grants of options for shares of our common stock in order to, among other things, provide executives, employees and directors with a stock-based incentive and align their interests with those of our stockholders. The value of the stock option grants will be expensed ratably over a four-year vesting term. We expect some of these grants to be performance-based options which will be earned upon achievement of certain milestones.\nWe are a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company developing life-saving medical devices.\nOur first products are a bioreactor and a synthetic scaffold that can be used by surgeons to create a replacement trachea, or airway, for patients who need an airway transplant. We believe our products are the first to enable the application of regenerative medicine techniques to the production and transplant of complex, three-dimensional human organs like the trachea. Our bioreactor technology has been used in six successful human airway transplant surgeries, including what we believe to be the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway. In addition, we believe the second surgery using our technology was the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway using a synthetic scaffold. The patients who received these two airway transplants are alive more than four years and sixteen months, respectively, following their surgeries, and each of these surgeries were published in The Lancet, one of the world\u0092s most respected peer-reviewed medical journals. The six human airway transplants to date have been led by Dr. Paolo Macchiarini, a world-renowned thoracic surgeon of the Karolinska Instituet, one of Europe\u0092s leading research hospitals.\nWe believe our technology could enable surgeons to cure nearly all primary trachea cancers. Our products addresses the critical challenges to trachea transplant: the shortage of suitable donor tracheas and the risk and expense of lifelong anti-rejection drug therapy. Because the scaffolds are synthetic, our technology will eliminate the need to wait for suitable donor tracheas. Our technology also obviates the need for anti-rejection drug therapy because the surgeon uses the patient\u0092s own bone marrow cells to seed the scaffold. In addition, patients with trachea cancer treated using our products have not required either chemotherapy or radiation therapy after the transplant, thus potentially eliminating the significant side effects and expense of such therapies. Because these substantial costs and risks can be reduced or even eliminated with our technology, we believe our products can both help save lives and reduce overall healthcare costs. None of the surgeries using our products have involved human embryonic stem cells and we do not currently expect surgeons to use such cells with our products.\nIn addition to the trachea, we believe that our products are applicable to the regeneration of other organs. Our collaborators are working on regenerating the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart valves and heart using our products. For instance, a collaborator of ours, Dr. Harald Ott of Massachusetts General Hospital, has succeeded in using one of our solid organ bioreactors to regenerate and transplant a whole lung in a rat. In addition to Dr. Ott, we are collaborating with several other research groups in the U.S. and Europe on lung regeneration. Two collaborators of ours, one at a major U.S. pediatric hospital and one at a major European teaching hospital, have used our bioreactors in research on the regeneration of an esophagus. Another collaborator of ours, Dr. Robert Simari of the Mayo Clinic, has used one of our bioreactors in his research on the regeneration and transplant of human heart valves. In addition to Dr. Simari\u0092s work on heart valve regeneration, we are collaborating with three additional research groups in the U.S. and in Europe on heart regeneration.\nThe first six airway transplant surgeries took place in Spain, Sweden and Russia under compassionate-use regulations on patients who had exhausted alternative treatment options. One of our collaborators, Dr. Mark Holterman, Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at the Children\u0092s Hospital of Illinois in Peoria, has received FDA approval under an investigator-led IND application allowing the first use of our products in a trachea transplant in the U.S.\nWe intend to seek separate, independent 510(k) clearances or exemptions in the U.S., and CE marking in the EU, to allow us to market our trachea scaffolds, bioreactors and clinical infusion pumps for medical device uses. In addition, we may seek approval under the orphan biologics pathway for the use of our scaffold and bioreactor system, including cells, for regenerated trachea transplant, which could provide market exclusivity for up to seven years. We expect to receive regulatory approval to market our regenerated trachea transplant products in the EU by the end of 2015 and, assuming our trachea transplant products qualify for accelerated review, we expect to receive FDA approval to market our trachea transplant products in the U.S. by the end of 2016.\nThe first human organ transplant was a kidney transplant performed in 1954. The donor of the kidney was the identical twin of the recipient and therefore there was no immune rejection of the organ. The recipient lived for eight years following the transplant and the surgeon who performed the transplant, Dr. Joseph Murray, went on to win the Nobel Prize for this work. The recipient of the first heart transplant, performed in 1967 by Dr. Christiaan Barnard, lived only 18 days. The patient did not die because the new heart failed, but because of pneumonia that the patient acquired due to the patient\u0092s immune system being compromised by the anti-rejection drugs that the patient had to take. These two cases illustrate both the promise and the challenges of organ transplantation: donor organs can greatly extend life, but there is a critical shortage of donors and, unless the donor is the identical twin of the recipient, the recipient\u0092s body will always reject the donor organ. In order to combat this rejection, the patient must take lifelong anti-rejection drugs which compromise the immune system and greatly increase the risk of the patient dying from infections.\nIn the 1960s, anti-rejection drugs were very poor and hence very few organ transplants took place. In the 1970s, better anti-rejection drugs, particularly cyclosporine, were developed and by the late 1970s many heart transplant patients were living up to five years with their donor hearts. In 1983, the FDA approved cyclosporine for use in organ transplantation, and the first lung transplant patient survived more than six years. Although the improved anti-rejection drugs increased the life expectancy for patients receiving organ transplants, they came with harmful side effects that shortened the recipient\u0092s natural life span. In addition to the side effects, the anti-rejection drugs are also very expensive and can cost $20,000 to $30,000 per year and must be taken for as long as the patient lives. Despite the side effects and costs, organ transplants have become common enough that the shortage of donors is now the key constraint to organ transplants. To increase the number of organ transplants the U.S. government made a huge effort to increase organ donation. This included Congress passing seven separate pieces of legislation, Medicare paying for donor transplants, several Surgeons General making personal appeals for more organ donors and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services making the Emmy award-winning documentary No Greater Love on the benefits of organ donation. Despite all these efforts, waiting lists for organ transplants continued to grow and by 2011 there were over 100,000 Americans waiting for a donor organ.\nIn the late 1980s, the field of regenerative medicine emerged as scientists began to apply principles of engineering and life sciences to develop techniques that could restore, maintain or improve body function. Regenerative medicine now includes products that use cells to repair damaged organs and to grow organs outside the body for transplant into the patient. Early successes in regenerative medicine included the skin grafting products Apligraf and Dermagraft, which were approved by the FDA in 1998 and 2001, respectively. Apligraf has since been used to treat over 200,000 patients. However, the regeneration of more complex three-dimensional structures like the trachea proved much harder than two-dimensional structures like the skin. Additional progress came with using regenerated tissue grafts to increase urinary bladder capacity and with regenerating blood vessels for grafting between veins and arteries.\nIn 2008, a milestone was reached when the two fields of organ transplant and regenerative medicine were combined with the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway. Even though the airway scaffold came from a donor, because the patient\u0092s own bone marrow cells were used to seed the scaffold after the cells from the donor had been removed, the patient did not require anti-rejection drugs. Other than the transplant of organs between genetically identical twins, such as the first kidney described above, we believe this regenerated airway transplant was the world\u0092s first organ transplant that has not required anti-rejection drugs. In 2011, another milestone was reached with the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway using a synthetic scaffold. This patient has also not needed to take anti-rejection drugs, and because the scaffold was made in a laboratory, the patient did not have to wait for a donor organ to become available. This breakthrough opens the possibility that the waiting lists for organ transplants can be reduced or even eliminated.\nOverview of the Trachea Transplant Market\nTrachea cancer is a devastating and almost always fatal disease. Current treatments such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery have poor outcomes, resulting in median survival of only 10 months and a five-year survival rate of only 15%. According to an article published in The Lancet Oncology, the incidence of trachea cancer is 2.6 per one million of population, reflecting an addressable market of approximately 2,400\ntrachea cancer patients per year worldwide. In addition to trachea cancer, certain types of trachea damage can be treated by transplanting a trachea. In particular, patients may receive a tracheotomy, or surgically created hole in their throat, to allow them to breathe. When the tracheotomies are in place for more than a few days, patients are at increased risk of dying from pneumonia caused by aspiration of foreign material into the lungs. We estimate that there are approximately 3,900 trachea damage patients per year worldwide. In addition, there are approximately 250 patients in the developed world who are born without a trachea, a condition called tracheal agenesis, who may be treatable with a trachea transplant.\nCombining patients with trachea cancer, trachea trauma and tracheal agenesis, we estimate the total addressable patient population for trachea transplants using our products is approximately 6,500 per year. Based on this, we estimate the total potential market for trachea transplants that use our products could exceed $300 million per year. While these estimates capture the number of new patients annually that are candidates for transplants using our products, they exclude what we believe to be a much larger pool of existing potential patients.\nPatients with trachea cancer typically are treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy or a combination of both. There are a number of common significant side effects of radiation therapy and chemotherapy, including pain, fatigue, hair loss and kidney and bladder problems. Such therapies are also expensive, with chemotherapy alone typically costing $24,000 per patient annually.\nWhile surgery is a preferred treatment option for trachea cancer, it is rarely performed because most trachea cancers are not diagnosed until it is too late for surgery to be a viable option. A trachea transplant has also not been a viable option to date due to the difficulties of finding an anatomical match between the donor and the patient. Even if a donor trachea were available, the patient would require anti-rejection drugs for the remainder of his or her life to prevent rejection of the donor trachea. This therapy is expensive, typically costing $20,000 to $30,000 per patient annually. There is also a risk to the patient as anti-rejection drugs suppress the immune system causing even a mild infection to become potentially life threatening.\nPrevious attempts to implant a tracheal prosthetic have been unsuccessful as they have been unable to create a functional lining of the trachea which is essential to the clearance of mucus. Without the clearance of mucus, patients have poor prognosis and typically die from pneumonia or respiratory failure shortly after transplant.\nOverview of the Lung Transplant Market\nA lung transplant is performed for patients with life-threatening lung disease or damage. Typical underlying diseases that can lead to the need for a lung transplant include cystic fibrosis, birth defects, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, and pulmonary hypertension, among others. Once a lung has been transplanted the patient survival outcome can be quite good, with five year survival rate of 54%. The highest risk of death is during the first year, mainly from problems such as rejection.\nAccording to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there were 1,771 lung transplants in the U.S. in 2010. The number of lung transplants would be far greater if there were a larger supply of donor lungs for transplant. For instance, according to the American Lung Association there were 12.1 million people in the U.S. with COPD in 2008 and 120,970 people in the U.S. died of COPD in 2006. Despite this, only approximately 1,700 lung transplants are performed annually in the U.S. due to the chronic lack of donor lungs. Because of the shortage of donor lungs, the waiting list time is often at least two to three years in the U.S. and many potential patients are not even added to the waiting list. We believe that there are approximately 5,000 patients per year that receive lung transplants worldwide. As with trachea transplant, the patient needs to take anti-rejection drugs for life.\nIn addition to the shortage of donor lungs, the cost of procuring donor lungs typically runs from $40,000 to $90,000 per patient due to the need to remove and transplant the organs very quickly. This time window, which can be as short as twelve hours, means the surgical team often has to keep a private jet on standby contributing greatly to the cost of donor lung transplants.\nOverview of the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract Transplant Market\nThe gastrointestinal tract is a tube that runs from the esophagus to the large bowel, the primary function of which is to absorb nutrients from food.\nThe esophagus is a tube of similar dimensions to the trachea. Today, it is not common to replace a diseased esophagus with a transplanted one from a donor because surgeons generally prefer to pull up the healthy part of the GI tract in a procedure called a gastric pull-up. However, this procedure has complications and is less attractive in a pediatric patient than in an adult patient. We believe there may be an opportunity to create a regenerated esophagus to avoid this gastric pull-up procedure, particularly for pediatric patients.\nIn addition to the possibility of creating a regenerated esophagus we believe it may also be possible to create a section of other parts of the GI tract, such as the small intestine. Patients who have undergone surgery to remove part of their GI tract, for instance surgery to remove an intestinal cancer, or who have intestinal obstructions or damage to the GI tract from radiation, can develop a condition called Short Bowel Syndrome. Severe cases can result in the patient being unable to eat or even to be fed through a tube into the intestines. Such patients require Total Parenteral Nutrition, or TPN, to survive. TPN is a fluid administered into a vein that provides all the nutritional needs of the patient. According to the Children\u0092s Hospital of Pittsburgh there are over 40,000 patients in the U.S. receiving TPN. While many patients live productive lives on TPN, for the 20-35% of patients, approximately 8,000 to 14,000, who fare poorly on TPN, intestinal transplant may be a life-saving procedure. However, due to a shortage of donor organs and the risks and costs of taking anti-rejection therapy less than 200 intestinal transplants are performed each year in the U.S. In addition to intestinal transplant being a potentially life-saving procedure for these patients, it can also be a cost-saving procedure as TPN can cost anywhere from $55,000 to over $300,000 per year.\nOverview of the Heart and Heart Valve Transplant Markets\nA heart transplant is a major procedure that is performed for patients with life-threatening heart disease or damage. Typical underlying diseases that can lead to the need for a heart transplant include: severe angina, heart failure, birth defects in the heart and life threatening abnormal heartbeats among others. Once a heart has been transplanted the patient survival outcome can be quite good with five-year survival rate of 75%.\nAccording to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there were 2,334 heart transplants in the U.S. in 2010. The number of heart transplants would be far greater if there were a larger supply of hearts for transplant. For instance, according to information released by the U.S. National Institutes of Health in 2012, there are approximately 5.8 million people in the U.S. suffering from heart failure. Despite this only approximately 2,300 heart transplants are performed annually in the U.S. due to the chronic lack of donor hearts. Because of the shortage of donor hearts, the waiting list is approximately 3,400 patients in the U.S., the waiting list time is often at least six months to three years in the U.S. and many potential patients are not even added to the waiting list. We believe that there are approximately 7,000 patients per year that receive heart transplants worldwide. As with other donor transplants, the patient needs to take anti-rejection drugs for life.\nWe believe that transplant of a regenerated whole heart will one day be possible but it is likely to be many years away. Before this goal is reached we believe that failing hearts may be treated with therapies such as the injection of cells into the damaged heart, the creation of a patch of heart tissue for implant, the regeneration of heart valves and the regeneration of sub-sections of the heart such as the valve and aorta. We believe these therapies will be valuable in themselves but will also serve as stepping stones to the regeneration of a whole heart.\nSimilar to lung transplants, the heart needs to be removed very quickly after the donor dies, often within four hours, and the surgical team often has to keep a private jet on standby. As such the costs of procuring donor hearts is significant, contributing greatly to the cost of donor organ transplants.\nWe believe the use of the medical device products we are currently developing, together with the patient\u0092s own cells, will provide a system for surgeons that is a major advance over the current therapeutic options for treating trachea cancer and trachea trauma and may be applicable to other medical conditions requiring organ transplants. We believe our products are the first to enable the application of regenerative medicine techniques to the production and transplant of complex, three-dimensional organs like the trachea. With continued development, we believe that our technologies will be applicable to the repair or transplant of other important human organs such as the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart valves, and heart. Our bioreactor technology was used in both the world\u0092s first transplant of a regenerated airway in 2008 and in the world\u0092s first transplant of a synthetic regenerated airway in 2011.\nWhile these regenerative medicine technologies are being studied clinically and refined, our products will have defined uses that should allow their independent marketing as medical devices, subject to regulatory clearance, approval, and marketing authorization.\nTarget life-threatening medical conditions. We are focused on creating products to help surgeons treat serious conditions like trachea cancer, and diseases requiring GI tract, heart or lung transplant. We are not targeting relatively low-severity conditions that have reasonable alternative treatment options like damage to the skin, bones, muscles, ears or nose. By targeting life-threatening conditions, we believe it is easier to get patient informed consent for treatment, hospital ethics committee or Institutional Review Board approval and government regulatory authority approval as the patients often have poor or no treatment alternatives. We believe it will also be easier for our customers to get reimbursement for treatments for life-threatening conditions that have poor and/or more expensive alternative treatments. To further the development of these technologies, while also generating revenues, we are developing and intend to market components of the regenerative medicine applications that have medical device uses for such independent uses.\nFocus on medical devices rather than cells. Medical devices generally have easier and lower cost clinical trial requirements than cellular-based therapies, provided that the FDA agrees that the scaffold, clinical infusion pump, and bioreactor products we are developing are separate medical devices, and not part of an overall biological seeded scaffold. We do not intend to sell cells or tissue. Our business model is to sell medical devices that could be used by a surgeon for a range of clinical applications and protocols. We leave the choice of cell type, cell seeding conditions and surgical approach up to the surgeon. It is possible that in\nsome applications the surgeon may use no cells at all on the scaffold. In this sense our scaffold products are more like stents or prosthetic devices than cells or tissue.\nDevelop products that have a relatively short time to market. Since the number of patients with trachea cancer is relatively small, we expect the number of patients that we would likely need to enroll in a clinical trial would be relatively small. A small number of patients implies a relatively fast and inexpensive clinical trial. In addition, since survival is likely to be a key endpoint in any trachea transplant trial and median survival in trachea cancer is only 10 months we expect we would be able to conduct a clinical trial in a relatively short period of time compared to clinical trials in indications with higher survival rates and longer survival periods. We intend to work closely with regulatory agencies and clinical experts to design and size the clinical studies appropriately based on the specific conditions our products are intended to treat.\nUse trachea transplant as a platform to address other organs. We believe our experience in developing proprietary scaffolds and bioreactors for trachea transplant gives us substantial expertise and intellectual property for developing products addressing diseases impacting other organs like the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, heart valves, and heart. We intend to use such expertise and intellectual property to develop medical devices to help treat other serious medical conditions requiring organ transplants.\nSupply the complete bioreactor and scaffold system. Our technology includes the bioreactor and scaffold which are used by the surgeon to create the synthetic organ. We believe there is considerable value in supplying the complete bioreactor and scaffold system.\nCollaborate with leading surgeons and institutions. We have and will continue to collaborate with leading surgeons and institutions. For example, we have collaborated with Professor Macchiarini of the Karolinska Instituet to improve our bioreactors and to create our scaffolds for use in trachea transplant; we have collaborated with Dr. Harald Ott of Massachusetts General Hospital to develop our lung bioreactor system, and we have collaborated with Dr. Robert Simari of the Mayo Clinic to develop our heart valve bioreactor. It is these collaborators who have developed the cell seeding and surgical techniques for use with our products. We believe the use of our products by leading surgeons and institutions will increase the likelihood that other surgeons and institutions will use our products.\nInBreath hollow organ bioreactor in use during the Krasnodar surgeries, June 2012.\n\u0095 remotely monitor the scaffold during the course of the two to three days of incubation before the transplant.\nThe InBreath bioreactor has several novel features such as allowing for separate cell seeding conditions on the inside and outside of the scaffold and for pumping cell culture media through the inside of the scaffold without the need for an external pump and tubes. We have rights to an issued patent and pending patent applications directed to various features of the bioreactors. We believe the InBreath bioreactor is the world\u0092s first bioreactor that has been used to perform a human transplant of a regenerated organ.\nThe cell seeding and incubation are performed by the surgeons or other hospital staff at the hospital according to their own procedures which can vary from patient to patient and hospital to hospital. Our employees are not involved in obtaining the cells, seeding the cells or performing the transplant.\nWe expect that bioreactors to be used in regenerating sections of the GI tract and other hollow organs will likely share much of the technology of the InBreath bioreactor.\nSolid Organ Bioreactor\nAutomated Solid Organ Bioreactor\nA solid organ bioreactor shares many of the features of a hollow organ bioreactor such as the ability to seed cells on an organ scaffold and keep them sterile and healthy during the growth phase prior to transplant. However, for solid organs like the heart and lungs, the bioreactor must also supply pulsatile blood flow and ventilation to mimic the natural action of the heart and lungs. In addition, the physiology of the heart and lung is considerably more complex than that of the trachea and so the measuring, monitoring and control equipment needed is considerably more advanced. During the first half of 2010, one of our physician collaborators, Dr. Harald Ott at Massachusetts General Hospital, succeeded in regenerating a lung that was subsequently transplanted into the body of a rat. In collaboration with Dr. Ott and Massachusetts General Hospital, we designed and developed a novel bioreactor that was used to grow the rat lung used in this procedure. The work was published in Nature Medicine in July 2010.\nWe have collaborated with Dr. Ott since 2008 and continue to develop organ bioreactor technologies for his use. The current generation bioreactor, pictured above, is considerably more advanced as it is capable of controlled decellularization and recellularization of an organ, including an organ as large as a human lung. We intend to continue developing bioreactors in collaboration with Dr. Ott and other leading researchers with the goal of eventually using our products to perform a first-in-human transplant of a regenerated lung.\nIn addition to our human lung bioreactor we also make a similar system for the human heart. This system was also developed in collaboration with Dr. Ott and others. We are also collaborating with leading clinical researchers to develop bioreactors for esophagus, heart valve, liver and kidney regeneration. The heart valve bioreactor was developed in conjunction with Dr. Robert Simari at the Mayo Clinic. The other collaborations are currently confidential, but are all with physicians at well-respected academic medical centers. None of these technologies has yet to be extensively tested in animals.\nScaffolds (Trachea Prostheses)\nA scaffold (trachea prosthesis) we manufactured\nA scaffold is a natural or synthetic framework, shaped like the real organ, that is porous to allow cells to penetrate the scaffold, attach and start to grow. The scaffold used for the first regenerated trachea transplant in 2008 was a donated human trachea with its cells removed using a chemical solution before being seeded with bone marrow cells taken from the recipient. All subsequent trachea transplants using our products have utilized synthetic scaffolds. Because the synthetic scaffolds are manufactured, they can be made to the exact dimensions of the patient and in large quantities. The scaffold dimensions are determined using CT scans interpreted by the surgeon. While the synthetic scaffolds used in surgeries to date have been made by third parties, in order to improve the scaffolds we are collaborating with Professor Macchiarini and others to develop our own scaffold product and manufacturing. We have recently established scaffold manufacturing in our Holliston, Massachusetts facility. Our scaffolds can be made from a variety of plastic polymers such as polyethelyne terephthalate, or PET, which is the same polymer used in the well-known brand of implantable materials known by the trade name Dacron. PET has a long history of safe use in long-term human implants. We have manufactured over 100 prototype scaffolds and we intend to provide our proprietary scaffolds to surgeons for use in future transplants. We believe that our scaffolds will be superior in quality compared to those used in prior surgeries.\nPrototype of our clinical infusion pump\nWe are developing a clinical infusion pump that can be used by clinicians as a cell injection system. This product will allow clinicians to inject cells directly into damaged tissue. In addition to the cell injection applications, we expect our clinical pump will be used for infusing drugs in general hospital applications. This clinical pump is based on the technology underlying Harvard Bioscience\u0092s market leading Harvard Apparatus research syringe pumps.\nA typical cell injection is of 50 microliters total volume spread over several individual injections of 5 \u0096 10 microliters each. Because current clinical infusion pumps do not have the accuracy to deliver these tiny volumes, surgeons typically do not use an automated injection system but rather attempt to inject the cells manually. Injecting manually is inferior to using a clinical infusion pump system as it is hard to achieve consistent injections and hence hard to establish a robust clinical protocol. While injecting manually is acceptable in small scale clinical trials, it is a drawback when trying to establish a robust clinical protocol that could be used on large numbers of patients by many different physicians. To address this need in cell injection, we have developed a clinical infusion pump that can deliver these tiny quantities accurately and reproducibly. In addition, our clinical infusion pump can operate a pre-programmed injection protocol by footswitch control which allows the surgeon to focus exclusively on the placement of the needle in the tissue and to not get distracted by trying to do the injection slowly or by looking at the graduations on the syringe to see how much has been injected.\nMany companies have been formed to exploit the potential of cell therapy. We believe there are over 30 cell therapy companies or products that are in human clinical trials for either cardiovascular or neurological applications. Almost all these cell therapies for cardiovascular or neurological applications require the cells to be injected into the tissue of the heart or the spine. We are not developing cell therapies ourselves but are developing clinical infusion pump technology that can be used with all cell types and for many purposes in addition to cell therapy. We believe the opportunity for our cell therapy infusion system may ultimately be in excess of $20 million per year.\nWe believe our pump can also address segments within the current clinical syringe pump market where the most common application is infusing drugs into the patient\u0092s bloodstream. The clinical syringe pump market is approximately $170 million per year.\nIn 2008, our InBreath airway bioreactor technology was used to perform the world\u0092s first human transplant of a regenerated airway. The surgery was conducted by Dr. Macchiarini and his team of surgeons in Barcelona, Spain. The patient had suffered a collapse of her airway following a severe tuberculosis infection. To create the regenerated airway, a donor trachea was obtained and stripped of its cells, and then the patient\u0092s own bone marrow cells were used to seed the donor trachea and prepare it for implantation. Following such regeneration, the regenerated airway was then implanted into the patient. The patient is alive and breathing normally more than four years after the transplant surgery. In addition to improving her breathing, because the cells used in the transplant were her own cells taken from her own bone marrow, she has not had to take anti-rejection drugs after the surgery. This surgery was published in The Lancet in November 2008.\nIn June 2011, our InBreath bioreactor was used for the world\u0092s first successful transplantation of a synthetic tissue engineered trachea. For the first time in history, a patient was given a new trachea made from a synthetic scaffold seeded with his own cells and grown in our bioreactor. The operation was performed in 2011 at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden by Dr. Paolo Macchiarini and his team of surgeons. The patient had been suffering from late-stage trachea cancer, which before the surgery would have been inoperable. He was given only a few weeks to live and as such the transplant surgery using our product was a last-resort measure to save the patient\u0092s life. The patient required a tracheo-bronchial scaffold transplant, whereby the scaffold mimics the branched shape of the airway. To create the new synthetic trachea, scientists at University College London developed a plastic scaffold shaped like the patient\u0092s natural airway and Dr. Macchiarini seeded it with the patient\u0092s own bone marrow cells. This seeding process prepared the synthetic trachea for implantation and thereafter the regenerated synthetic trachea was implanted into the\npatient. Because the cells used to regenerate the trachea were the patient\u0092s own, there has been no rejection of the transplant, and, like the first patient described above, this patient is not taking anti-rejection drugs. Because of the regenerated trachea transplant, the patient was alive and free of cancer as of December 7, 2012, over 18 months after the surgery. This surgery was published in The Lancet on November 24, 2011.\nIn November 2011, our InBreath bioreactor was again used by Dr. Macchiarini to create the implant to treat a patient who was suffering from late-stage trachea cancer and required a tracheo-bronchial transplant. The operation was performed at the Karolinska University Hospital by Dr. Macchiarini and his team of surgeons. The procedure was similar to the world\u0092s first successful transplantation of a synthetic tissue engineered trachea done in June 2011, with the exception that the plastic scaffolding material was changed to a fiber construction rather than a porous solid construction. The fibrous scaffold was made in a different laboratory and by a different third-party manufacturer than the one made for the June 2011 patient. The patient recovered well from the transplant surgery and was discharged home from the hospital. Approximately four months after the surgery, the patient passed away from pneumonia secondary to a tracheal tumor. There is no indication that our bioreactor or the third-party scaffold played any role in his death. This patient, like the June 2011 patient, had undergone extensive radiation and chemotherapy treatment prior to the transplant, and his tumor was not responsive to these forms of treatment.\nJune 2012 Russian Transplants\nIn June 2012, our InBreath bioreactors were used for the world\u0092s first two successful laryngo-trachea transplants, using synthetic laryngo-trachea scaffolds seeded with cells taken from the patients\u0092 bone marrow. The surgeries took place at the Krasnodar Regional Hospital in Krasnodar, Russia and were performed by Professors Porhanov and Macchiarini and their team. These two surgeries differed from those for the June and November 2011 procedures described above in that the patients in those prior surgeries both had late stage trachea cancer and both required a tracheo-bronchial scaffold. These Russian patients each had trachea trauma caused by automobile accidents. Both of the Russian patients required laryngo-trachea transplants, whereby the scaffold mimics the shape of the windpipe from the larynx to the point where the trachea branches into the two bronchi which lead to the lungs. Both patients had difficulties breathing and talking and had suffered repeated infections prior to the surgeries. The scaffolds in these two cases were fibrous scaffolds similar to the one used in the November 2011 surgery, but were made with a different fiber formulation. Since the transplants, both patients have been released from the hospital and were alive as of December 7, 2012. They are both able to breathe and talk normally.\nIn August 2012 a sixth patient received a trachea transplant created using our InBreath bioreactor. The surgery took place at the Karolinksa Hospital and was performed by Dr. Macchiarini and his team of surgeons. The patient was in critical condition and the trachea transplant was performed in an emergency procedure in an attempt to save the patient\u0092s life. While the patient was alive as of December 7, 2012, she had not been released from the hospital as of such date.\nProspective Patient \u0097 U.S.\nIn February 2012, the FDA approved the first U.S. surgery under an IND application made by Dr. Mark Holterman Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at the Children\u0092s Hospital of Illinois in Peoria. Dr. Macchiarini is expected to collaborate with Dr. Holterman in performing this surgery. The prospective patient for this surgery is a two-year old girl who was born with trachea agenesis (i.e., without a trachea). She currently breathes through a tube in her esophagus that connects to her lungs. In the opinion of Dr. Holterman, the regenerated trachea transplant is the only option for the patient\u0092s long-term survival. No person born with trachea agenesis has ever survived beyond six years. Since this would be the world\u0092s first regenerated transplant in a child so young there are additional risks above those of the adults treated so far because no one has ever made a scaffold or bioreactor for a patient so small or with the need to grow. In addition, the patient is located in Seoul, South Korea which adds considerable logistical and clinical difficulties in preparing for the surgery in the U.S. For these reasons, this surgery has not yet taken place, however we anticipate that it will in the near future.\nAll these patients have been treated under compassionate-use protocols meaning their prognosis was very poor. Typically, their bodies are very weak as a result of extensive treatments that often include radiation and chemotherapy. We believe that patients that undergo such extensive treatments are inherently susceptible to serious medical complications following the transplants. These transplant surgeries are typically the last-resort measure to save the patient\u0092s life. We expect that some transplant patients are likely to suffer serious complications or death following the transplants due to issues that are not directly related to the use of our products.\nAs stand-alone medical devices (i.e., for uses other than the preparation of regenerative organs or tissues), we believe our bioreactor is exempt from 510(k) clearance to market and our scaffold and clinical infusion pump are eligible for 510(k) clearance to market in the U.S. In the EU, we believe that our bioreactor, scaffold and clinical infusion pump would be CE marked in accordance with Council Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices. The U.S. clearances to market our devices are not likely to require clinical studies, and CE marking our products in the EU may not necessarily require the conduct of clinical trials. Clinical data may, however, be required in the EU to demonstrate conformity with applicable requirements. Clearances to market are not likely to require clinical trials.\nHowever, in order to market our regenerated trachea products widely, we anticipate that we will need to successfully complete clinical trials. The first indication for which we intend to seek approval that we believe will require clinical trials is treating trachea cancer with a regenerated trachea using a synthetic scaffold. Because trachea cancer is a relatively rare disease, it affects only approximately 800 patients per year in the U.S., but is quickly fatal, median survival is only 10 months, we anticipate that our clinical trials will involve relatively few patients and will have a relatively short follow up period. This is true whether the products are regulated in either a medical device or biological product pathway. In the U.S., if this pathway is the medical device pathway then we will seek approval under the FDA\u0092s Humanitarian Device Exemption, or HDE, pathway. This pathway can be used if the patient population is less than 4,000 per year. This pathway is advantageous because the efficacy standard for approval is lower than in the normal device approval pathway. There can be no assurance that the FDA would find the device qualifies for HDE status, or if that status were granted that an HDE application would be approved. If, in the U.S., this pathway is instead the biologics pathway, then we will seek approval under the Orphan Drug pathway. The Orphan Drug pathway can be used if the disease or condition for which the regenerated trachea is intended affects fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. This pathway is advantageous because, although the safety and efficacy standards for orphan drug products are the same as for all biologics, approval under this pathway could grant the company a seven year exclusivity on marketing the product for that indication in the U.S. There is no equivalent in the EU to HDE pathway. As regenerated trachea products are implantable products, if they were classified as medical devices in the EU, we would need to conduct related clinical studies, unless we can justify relying on already-existing clinical data. If, in the EU, the regenerated trachea products are classified as medicinal products, it would be possible to seek orphan medicinal product classification if we can demonstrate that the products are intended to treat a condition affecting no more than five per 10,000 persons in the EU, or that they are intended for treating a serious or debilitating disease and it is unlikely that without incentives marketing the products would generate sufficient return to justify the necessary related investment. If the regenerated trachea products were classified as orphan medicinal products, they could be entitled to market exclusivity for ten years. The trachea product\u0092s marketing authorization as a medicinal product would, however, be the same as for any medicinal product in the EU.\nRussian and EU Clinical Trials\nThe two Russian transplants, both performed in June 2012, began a clinical trial of trachea transplants for patients with either trachea cancer or trachea damage. The Russian clinical trial is funded by a $5 million grant from the Russian government to the Krasnodar Regional Hospital, one of Russia\u0092s leading transplant centers. The EU has also approved a separate $5 million grant with Dr. Macchiarini as the principal investigator to fund two clinical trials in trachea transplant, using our products. We expect the first of these two EU trials to begin in 2014. We intend to use the results of these trials, together with the data collected on\nthe compassionate-use patients both in the U.S. and overseas to help support the applications for approval to market our trachea transplant products in the U.S. and worldwide.\nOur primary research and development activities are in engineering and testing electromechanical devices like our bioreactors and infusion pumps and in designing and making scaffolds. As of November 1, 2012, we employed 11 full-time engineers and scientists and we also hire other consultants and part-time employees from time to time.\nIn addition to our in-house engineering and scientific development team, we collaborate with leaders in the field of regenerative medicine to develop and test new products. In addition to Drs. Macchiarini, Holterman, Porhanov and Ott we collaborate with a small number of other leaders in the field of regenerative medicine. Collaboration typically involves us developing new technologies specifically to address issues these researchers and clinicians face. Sometimes we are paid for our products directly, sometimes we are partners on grants and sometimes we give away or loan our technologies to the researchers or clinicians in return for feedback to improve the designs and/or license rights to intellectual property.\nIn addition to our bioreactors used for trachea treatments, we are collaborating with leading clinical researchers to develop bioreactors for the lungs, GI tract, heart, heart valve, liver and kidney regeneration. The heart valve bioreactor was developed in conjunction with Dr. Robert Simari at the Mayo Clinic. The other collaborations are confidential but are all with physicians at well-respected academic medical centers. None of these technologies has yet to be extensively tested in animals.\nFor our electromechanical devices like our bioreactors and infusion pumps we perform final assembly and test components we buy from third parties like machine shops, parts distributors, molding facilities and printed circuit board manufacturers. These operations are performed primarily at our Holliston, MA headquarters.\nFor our scaffolds we use a process called electrospinning to create the fabric part of the scaffold. The rings that mimic the natural rings of the trachea are fabricated separately and the fabric and rings are combined. Electrospinning is a well-known fabrication process invented in 1934. It is useful for cell culture applications as it can create extremely thin fibers (much thinner than a human hair) that can make a fabric with pores approximately the same size as a cell. The electrospinning process parameters can be tuned to create a structure that is very reminiscent of the natural structure of the collagen fibers in a decellularized human trachea. Our scaffolds are made from a polymer that does not dissolve in the human body, in other words our scaffolds are intended to be permanent. We believe permanent scaffolds are a better approach than using resorbable materials as it is hard to control the strength of the scaffold as the polymer resorbs.\nWe expect that most transplants with our trachea transplant products will be performed by a relatively small number of major hospitals in the U.S., EU and other developed countries. As a result we expect to need only a fairly small field sales force. We expect to price the system commensurate with the medical value created for the patient and the high costs avoided with the use of our products. We expect to be paid by the hospital that buys the products from us. We expect that the hospital would seek reimbursement from payors for the entire transplant procedure, including the use of our products.\nWe intend to use OEMs and distributors to reach the general hospital market for clinical infusion pumps as this is a faster and less investment intensive approach for us to market our clinical infusion pump compared to establishing a field sales force of our own. Since clinical infusion pumps are already a well-established product category there are many existing medical device distributors selling similar products that we expect to be able to work with.\nIn addition to the general hospital market for clinical infusion pumps we intend to sell on an OEM basis to companies developing cell therapies. Today there are approximately 30 such companies, though this number is expected to grow. We expect to work with these companies to adapt our clinical infusion pump to their exact injection protocol needs. Sale to the hospital or doctor will be by the OEM not by us directly. As a result we expect to need only a small number of sales and technical support people.\nHarvard Bioscience is the exclusive distributor for the research version of our clinical pump and research versions of our clinical products. Harvard Bioscience can only sell the products to the research markets in accordance with the terms of our distribution agreement. We retain all rights to manufacture and sell all our products for clinical use.\nIntellectual Property and License Agreements With Partners\nWe actively seek to protect our products and proprietary information by means of U.S. and foreign patents, trademarks and contractual arrangements. Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and enforce patents on our products, processes and technologies to preserve our trade secrets and other proprietary information and to avoid infringing on the patents or proprietary rights of others.\nWe have rights in the patent and the patent applications listed below. The patent or patents that may issue based on the patent applications are scheduled to expire as provided below:\nPatent/Technology Jurisdiction Expiration\nPatent application covering aspects of syringe devices and methods for delivering cells to tissues Europe, U.S. 2030\nPatent application covering aspects of clinical scale bioreactors and tissue engineering Australia, Europe,\nJapan, Russia, U.S. 2030\nIssued Patent covering aspects of liquid distribution in a rotating bioreactor Germany 2031\nPatent application covering aspects of liquid distribution in a rotating bioreactor PCT \u0096 international stage 2032\nProvisional patent applications relating to infrared-based methods for evaluating tissue health including methods for evaluating burns U.S. N/A\nProvisional patent applications relating to methods and compositions for producing elastic scaffolds for use in tissue engineering U.S. N/A\nProvisional patent applications relating to support configurations for tubular tissue scaffolds, and airway scaffold configurations U.S. N/A\nProvisional patent application relating to methods and compositions for promoting the structural integrity of nanofiber-based scaffolds for tissue engineering U.S. N/A\nWe also rely on unpatented proprietary technologies in the development and commercialization of our products. We also depend upon the skills, knowledge and experience of our scientific and technical personnel, as well as those of our advisors, consultants and other contractors. To help protect our proprietary know-how that may not be patentable, and our inventions for which patents may be difficult to enforce, we rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to protect our interests. To this end, we require employees, consultants and advisors to enter into agreements that prohibit the disclosure of confidential information and, where applicable, require disclosure and assignment to us of the ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions that arise from their activities for us. Additionally, these confidentiality agreements require that our employees, consultants and advisors do not bring to us, or use without proper authorization, any third party\u0092s proprietary technology.\nWe have an Exclusive License Agreement with Sara Mantero and Maria Adelaide Asnaghi to intellectual property rights relating to our InBreath Bioreactor. Under this agreement, we have worldwide rights to intellectual property (including patents, data, and know-how) relating to the hollow organ bioreactor, related\ntechniques, and improvements thereof. We have exclusive worldwide rights to make, use and sell the hollow organ bioreactor, and the right to grant sublicenses and distribution rights.\nWe entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with Sara Mantero, Maria Adelaide Asnaghi, and the Department of Bioengineering of the Politecnico Di Milano relating to the development of bioreactors, clinical applications, and automated seeding processes. Under the terms of this agreement, we have an option to an exclusive license for intellectual property relating to new technology. However, improvements relating to the hollow organ bioreactor, including improvements developed under this Sponsored Research Agreement, are covered by the Exclusive License Agreement with Sara Mantero and Maria Adelaide Asnaghi.\nSublicense Agreement with Harvard Bioscience\nWe have entered into a sublicense agreement with Harvard Bioscience pursuant to which Harvard Bioscience has granted us a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, exclusive, except as to Harvard Bioscience and its subsidiaries, license to use the mark \u0093Harvard Apparatus\u0094 in the name Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology. The mark \u0093Harvard Apparatus\u0094 is used under a license agreement between Harvard Bioscience and Harvard University, and we have agreed to be bound by such license agreement in accordance with our sublicense agreement. We currently have no affiliation with Harvard University.\nGovernment Regulation \u0097 Medical Device Products\nOur products are medical devices subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other U.S. federal and state regulatory bodies and comparable authorities in other countries. To ensure that medical products distributed domestically and internationally are safe and effective for their intended use, the FDA and comparable authorities in other countries have imposed regulations that govern, among other things, the following activities that we or our partners perform and will continue to perform:\n\u0095 product design and development;\n\u0095 product testing;\n\u0095 product manufacturing;\n\u0095 product labeling;\n\u0095 product storage;\n\u0095 premarket clearance, approval or CE marking of products;\n\u0095 advertising and promotion;\n\u0095 product marketing, sales and distribution; and\n\u0095 post-market surveillance reporting, including reporting of death or serious injuries.\nFDA\u0092s Premarket Clearance and Approval Requirements\nUnless an exemption applies, each medical device we wish to commercially distribute in the U.S. will require either prior 510(k) clearance or prior premarket approval from the FDA. The FDA classifies medical devices into one of three classes. Devices deemed to pose lower risk are placed in either class I or II, which requires the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a premarket notification requesting permission for commercial distribution. This process is known as 510(k) clearance. Some low risk devices are exempt from this requirement. Devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, or devices deemed not substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device, are placed in class III, requiring premarket approval. We believe our InBreath bioreactor is a class I medical device, exempt from FDA\u0092s premarket notification or approval requirements, and may be marketed for general research uses consistent with in vitro culture of cells.\nA trachea prosthesis is defined by the FDA as a rigid, flexible, or expandable tubular device made of a silicone, metal, or polymeric material that is intended to be implanted to restore the structure and/or function of the trachea or tracheal bronchial tree. These products are commercially marketed in the U.S. as class II medical devices for which section 510(k) premarket notification is required. Clinical infusion pumps intended\nto deliver small volumes of fluids to patients are also class II medical devices for which section 510(k) premarket notification is required. Both premarket clearance and premarket approval, or PMA, applications are subject to the payment of user fees, paid at the time of submission for FDA review.\nTo obtain 510(k) clearance, we must submit a premarket notification demonstrating that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to a previously cleared 510(k) device or a device that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976 for which the FDA has not yet called for the submission of premarket approval applications. The FDA\u0092s 510(k) clearance pathway usually takes from three to 12 months, but it can take significantly longer. The FDA may require additional information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence.\nAfter a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a new or major change in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, require premarket approval. The FDA requires each manufacturer to determine whether the proposed change requires submission of a 510(k), or a premarket approval, but the FDA can review any such decision and can disagree with a manufacturer\u0092s determination. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer\u0092s determination, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or premarket approval is obtained. If the FDA requires us to seek 510(k) clearance or premarket approval for any modifications to a previously cleared product, we may be required to cease marketing or recall the modified device until we obtain this clearance or approval. Also, in these circumstances, we may be subject to significant regulatory fines or penalties.\nPremarket Approval, or PMA, Pathway\nA premarket approval application must be submitted if the device cannot be cleared through the 510(k) process. The premarket approval application process is generally more costly and time consuming than the 510(k) process. A premarket approval application must be supported by extensive data including, but not limited to, technical, preclinical, clinical trials, manufacturing and labeling to demonstrate to the FDA\u0092s satisfaction the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use.\nAfter a premarket approval application is sufficiently complete, the FDA will accept the application and begin an in-depth review of the submitted information. By statute, the FDA has 180 days to review the \u0093accepted application,\u0094 although, generally, review of the application can take between one and three years, but it may take significantly longer. During this review period, the FDA may request additional information or clarification of information already provided. Also during the review period, an advisory panel of experts from outside the FDA may be convened to review and evaluate the application and provide recommendations to the FDA as to the approvability of the device. In addition, the FDA will conduct a preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facility to ensure compliance with quality system regulations. New premarket approval applications or premarket approval application supplements are required for modifications that affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, including, for example, certain types of modifications to the device\u0092s indication for use, manufacturing process, labeling and design. Premarket approval supplements often require submission of the same type of information as a premarket approval application, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the original premarket approval application, and may not require as extensive clinical data or the convening of an advisory panel. None of our products are currently approved under a premarket approval. In the event that our products are not approved through the 510(k) process, we will be required to seek a PMA.\nClinical trials are almost always required to support a premarket approval application and are sometimes required for a 510(k) premarket notification. If the device presents a \u0093significant risk,\u0094 as defined by the FDA, to human health, the FDA requires the device sponsor to file an investigational device exemption, or IDE, application with the FDA and obtain IDE approval prior to commencing the human clinical trials. The investigational device exemption application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory testing results, showing that it is safe to test the device in humans and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. The investigational device exemption application must be approved in advance by the\nFDA for a specified number of patients, unless the product is deemed a \u0093non-significant risk\u0094 device and eligible for more abbreviated investigational device exemption requirements. Clinical trials for a significant risk device may begin once the investigational device exemption application is approved by the FDA and the appropriate institutional review boards at the clinical trial sites. Future clinical trials may require that we obtain an investigational device exemption from the FDA prior to commencing clinical trials and that the trial be conducted under the oversight of an institutional review board at the clinical trial site. Our clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with FDA regulations and federal and state regulations concerning human subject protection, including informed consent and healthcare privacy. A clinical trial may be suspended by the FDA or the investigational review board at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to the study participants outweigh the benefits of participation in the study. Even if a study is completed, the results of our clinical testing may not demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the device, or may be equivocal or otherwise not be sufficient to obtain approval of our product. Similarly, in Europe the clinical study must be approved by the local ethics committee and in some cases, including studies of high-risk devices, by the Ministry of Health in the applicable country.\nPervasive and Continuing FDA Regulation\nAfter a device is placed on the market, numerous regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:\n\u0095 product listing and establishment registration, which helps facilitate FDA inspections and other regulatory action;\n\u0095 Quality System Regulation, or QSR, which requires manufacturers, including third-party manufacturers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the manufacturing process;\n\u0095 labeling regulations and FDA prohibitions against the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or off-label use or indication;\n\u0095 clearance of product modifications that could significantly affect safety or efficacy or that would constitute a major change in intended use of one of our cleared devices;\n\u0095 approval of product modifications that affect the safety or effectiveness of one of our approved devices;\n\u0095 medical device reporting regulations, which require that manufacturers comply with FDA requirements to report if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or has malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction of the device or a similar device were to recur;\n\u0095 post-approval restrictions or conditions, including post-approval study commitments;\n\u0095 post-market surveillance regulations, which apply when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device;\n\u0095 the FDA\u0092s recall authority, whereby it can ask, or under certain conditions order, device manufacturers to recall from the market a product that is in violation of governing laws and regulations;\n\u0095 regulations pertaining to voluntary recalls; and\n\u0095 notices of corrections or removals.\nWe and our third-party manufacturers must register with the FDA as medical device manufacturers and must obtain all necessary state permits or licenses to operate our business. As manufacturers, we and our third-party manufacturers are subject to announced and unannounced inspections by the FDA to determine our compliance with quality system regulation and other regulations. We have not yet been inspected by the FDA.\nFailure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA, which may include any of the following sanctions:\n\u0095 unanticipated expenditures to address or defend such actions\n\u0095 refusing or delaying our requests for 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of new products or modified products;\n\u0095 operating restrictions;\n\u0095 withdrawing 510(k) clearances on PMA approvals that have already been granted;\n\u0095 refusal to grant export approval for our products; or\nFurther, we are subject to various federal and state laws concerning health care fraud and abuse, including false claims laws, anti-kickback laws and physician self-referral laws. Violations of these laws can result in criminal and/or civil punishment, including fines, imprisonment and, in the U.S., exclusion from participation in government health care programs. The scope of these laws and related regulations is expanding and their interpretation is evolving. There is very little precedent related to these laws and regulations. Increased funding for enforcement of these laws and regulations has resulted in greater scrutiny of marketing practices in our industry and resulted in several investigations by various government authorities. If a governmental authority were to determine that we do not comply with these laws and regulations, then we and our officers and employees could be subject to criminal and civil sanctions, including exclusion from participation in federal health care reimbursement programs.\nCombination Product/Biologic\nGovernment Regulation Combination Products/Biologics\nWe believe that some of our products may be defined as combination products consisting of two or more regulated components, a biologic and a medical device. In the U.S., a combination product usually is assigned by the FDA to one of the agency\u0092s centers, such as the CBER or the CDRH with the chosen center to take the lead in pre-marketing review and approval of the combination product. Other FDA centers also may review the product in regard to matters that are within their expertise. The FDA selects the lead center based on an assessment of the combination product\u0092s \u0093primary mode of action.\u0094 Some products also may require approval or clearance from more than one FDA center.\nTo determine which FDA center or centers will review a combination product submission, companies may submit a request for assignment to the FDA. Those requests may be handled formally or informally. In some cases, jurisdiction may be determined informally based on FDA experience with similar products. However, informal jurisdictional determinations are not binding on the FDA. Companies also may submit a formal Request for Designation to the FDA Office of Combination Products. The Office of Combination Products will review the request and make its jurisdictional determination within 60 days of receiving a Request for Designation. We believe that regenerative medicine products containing cells will likely be reviewed by CBER, while the unseeded scaffolds and bioreactor products used to aid in the generation of regenerative medicine products may be reviewed by the CDRH either in consultation with CBER as part of the BLA or separately as a medical device.\nDomestic Regulation of Our Products and Business\nThe testing, manufacturing, and potential labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution, import and marketing of our products are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the U.S. and in other countries. In the U.S., the FDA, under the Public Health Service Act, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and its implementing regulations, regulates biologics and medical device products.\nThe labeling, advertising, promotion, marketing and distribution of biopharmaceuticals, or biologics and medical devices also must be in compliance with the FDA and U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC,\nrequirements which include, among others, standards and regulations for off-label promotion, industry sponsored scientific and educational activities, promotional activities involving the internet, and direct-to-consumer advertising. The FDA and FTC have very broad enforcement authority, and failure to abide by these regulations can result in penalties, including the issuance of a warning letter directing us to correct deviations from regulatory standards and enforcement actions that can include seizures, injunctions and criminal prosecution. Recently, promotional activities for FDA-regulated products of other companies have been the subject of enforcement action brought under healthcare reimbursement laws and consumer protection statutes. In addition, under the federal Lanham Act and similar state laws, competitors and others can initiate litigation relating to advertising claims. In addition, we are required to meet regulatory requirements in countries outside the U.S., which can change rapidly with relatively short notice.\nThe FDA has broad post-market and regulatory enforcement powers. Manufacturers of biologics and medical devices are subject to unannounced inspections by the FDA to determine compliance with applicable regulations, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of some of our subcontractors. Failure by manufacturers or their suppliers to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement action by the FDA or other regulatory authorities. Potential FDA enforcement actions include:\nIn addition, other government authorities influence the success of our business, including the availability of adequate reimbursement from third party payors, including government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement policies can also influence corresponding policies of private insurers and managed care providers, which can further affect our business.\nBiologics Regulation\nBiological products must satisfy the requirements of the Public Health Services Act and its implementing regulations. In order for a biologic product to be legally marketed in the U.S., the product must have a BLA approved by the FDA.\nThe BLA Approval Process\nThe steps for obtaining FDA approval of a BLA to market a biopharmaceutical, or biologic product in the U.S. include:\n\u0095 completion of preclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies under the FDA\u0092s GLP regulations;\n\u0095 submission to the FDA of an IND application, for human clinical testing, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin and which must include Institutional Review Board, or IRB, approval at each clinical site before the trials may be initiated;\n\u0095 performance of adequate and well-controlled clinical trials in accordance with Good Clinical Practices, or GCP, to establish the safety, purity, and potency of the product for each indication;\n\u0095 submission to the FDA of a BLA, which contains detailed information about the chemistry, manufacturing and controls for the product, reports of the outcomes of the clinical trials, and proposed labeling and packaging for the product;\n\u0095 the FDA\u0092s acceptance of the BLA for filing;\n\u0095 for any biological product containing an active ingredient not previously approved, automatic referral to an appropriate advisory committee for review prior to approval, unless the FDA decides otherwise;\n\u0095 satisfactory review of the contents of the BLA by the FDA, including the satisfactory resolution of any questions raised during the review or by the advisory committee, if applicable;\n\u0095 satisfactory completion of an FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance with cGMP regulations, to assure that the facilities, methods and controls are adequate to ensure the product\u0092s identity, strength, quality and purity; and\n\u0095 FDA approval of the BLA.\nPreclinical studies include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, toxicity and formulation, as well as animal studies.\nAn IND will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless before that time the FDA raises concerns or questions about issues such as the conduct of the trials as outlined in the IND. In that case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding FDA concerns or questions before clinical trials can proceed.\nClinical trials are subject to extensive monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Clinical trials must be conducted under the oversight of an IRB for the relevant clinical trial sites and must comply with FDA regulations, including but not limited to those relating to GCP. Adverse events must be reported and investigated timely. To conduct a clinical trial, a company is also required to obtain the patients\u0092 informed consent in form and substance that complies with both FDA requirements and state and federal privacy and human subject protection regulations. The sponsor, the FDA or the IRB could suspend a clinical trial at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to trial subjects outweigh the anticipated benefits. A protocol for each clinical trial and any subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. In addition, an IRB at each site at which the trial is conducted must approve the protocol and any amendments. Foreign studies performed under an IND must meet the same requirements that apply to U.S. studies. The FDA will accept a foreign clinical trial not conducted under an IND only if the trial is well-designed, well-conducted, performed by qualified investigators in accordance with international principles for GCP, and conforms to the ethical principles contained in the Declaration of Helsinki, or with the laws and regulations of the country in which the research was conducted, whichever provides greater protection of the human subjects. The FDA, however, has substantial discretion in deciding whether to accept data from foreign non-IND clinical trials.\nClinical trials involving biopharmaceutical products are typically conducted in three sequential phases. The phases may overlap or be combined. A fourth, or post-approval, phase may include additional clinical trials. These phases are described generally below. We note, however, that the exact number of study subjects required for each specific intended use, and our intent to combine or \u0093telescope\u0094 various study phases together, are both areas where we will actively seek FDA feedback to streamline the clinical evaluation process. Briefly, the phases of clinical development generally include the following:\n\u0095 Phase I. Phase I clinical trials involve the initial introduction of the product into human subjects to determine the adverse effects associated with increasing doses. Such Phase I studies frequently are highly abbreviated or combined with Phase II studies (as outlined below), when the product involves the patient\u0092s own cells.\n\u0095 Phase II. Phase II clinical trials usually involve studies in a limited patient population to evaluate the efficacy of the product for specific, targeted indications, to determine dosage tolerance and\noptimal dosage, and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. Products that contain the patient\u0092s own cells frequently are studied for initial safety and effectiveness determinations in combined or \u0093telescoped\u0094 Phase I/II clinical studies.\n\u0095 Phase III. If the product is found to be potentially effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase II (or sometimes Phase I) trials, the clinical trial program will be expanded to further demonstrate clinical efficacy, optimal dosage and safety within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites. As noted, the exact number of subjects needed, the duration of clinical follow-up, and the endpoints by which safety and efficacy are demonstrated are based on the condition being treated.\n\u0095 Post-Approval (Phase IV). Post-approval clinical trials are required of or agreed to by a sponsor as a condition of, or subsequent to marketing approval. Further, if the FDA becomes aware of new safety information about an approved product, it is authorized to require post approval trials of the biological product. These trials are used to gain additional experience from the treatment of patients in the intended therapeutic indication and to document a clinical benefit in the case of biologics approved under accelerated approval regulations. If the FDA approves a product while a company has ongoing clinical trials that were not necessary for approval, a company may be able to use the data from these clinical trials to meet all or part of any Phase IV clinical trial requirement. These clinical trials are often referred to as Phase III/IV post approval clinical trials. Failure to promptly conduct Phase IV clinical trials could result in withdrawal of approval for products approved under accelerated approval regulations.\nClinical testing may not be completed successfully within any specified time period, if at all. The FDA closely monitors the progress of each of the three phases of clinical trials that are conducted under an IND and may, at its discretion, reevaluate, alter, suspend, or terminate the testing based upon the data accumulated to that point and the FDA\u0092s assessment of the risk/benefit ratio to the patient. The FDA or the sponsor may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time for various reasons, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. The FDA can also request that additional pre-clinical studies or clinical trials be conducted as a condition to product approval. Additionally, new government requirements may be established that could delay or prevent regulatory approval of our products under development. Furthermore, IRBs have the authority to suspend clinical trials in their respective institutions at any time for a variety of reasons, including safety issues.\nCertain information about clinical trials, including a description of the trial, participation criteria, location of trial sites, and contact information, is required to be sent to the NIH for inclusion in a publicly-assessable database. Sponsors also are subject to certain state laws imposing requirements to make publicly available certain information on clinical trial results. In addition, the FDA Amendments Act of 2007 directs the FDA to issue regulations that will require sponsors to submit to the NIH the results of certain controlled clinical trials, other than Phase I studies.\nAssuming successful completion of the required clinical testing, the results of the preclinical studies and of the clinical trials, together with other detailed information, including information on the chemistry, manufacture and composition of the product, are submitted to the FDA in the form of a BLA requesting approval to market the product for one or more indications. In most cases, the BLA must be accompanied by a substantial user fee. The FDA will initially review the BLA for completeness before it accepts the BLA for filing. There can be no assurance that the submission will be accepted for filing or that the FDA may not issue a refusal-to-file, or RTF. If a RTF is issued, there is opportunity for dialogue between the sponsor and the FDA in an effort to resolve all concerns. If the BLA submission is accepted for filing, the FDA will begin an in-depth review of the BLA to determine, among other things, whether a product is safe and effective for its intended use and whether the product is being manufactured in accordance with cGMP to assure and preserve the product\u0092s identity, strength, quality and purity. If the biological product contains a new active ingredient not previously approved, the BLA automatically will be referred to an appropriate advisory committee for review prior to approval of the biological product, unless the FDA decides otherwise and specifies such reasons in a complete response letter to the sponsor. The FDA, however, is not bound by the opinion of the advisory committee.\nCompanies also may seek fast track designation for their products. Fast track products are those that are intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition and that demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs for such a condition. If awarded, the fast track designation applies to the product only for the indication for which the designation was received. Fast track products are eligible for two means of potentially expediting product development and FDA review of BLAs. First, a fast track product may be approved on the basis of either a clinical endpoint or a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. Approvals of this kind may be subject to requirements for appropriate post-approval studies to validate the surrogate endpoint or otherwise confirm the effect on the clinical endpoint, and to certain other conditions. Second, if the FDA determines after review of preliminary clinical data submitted by the sponsor that a fast track product may be effective, it may begin review of portions of a BLA before the sponsor submits the complete BLA, thereby accelerating the date on which review of a portion of the BLA can begin. There can be no assurance that any of our other products will receive designation as fast track products. And even if they are designated as fast track products, we cannot assure you that our products will be reviewed or approved more expeditiously for their fast track indications than would otherwise have been the case or will be approved promptly, or at all. Furthermore, the FDA can revoke fast track status at any time.\nIn addition, products studied for their safety and effectiveness in treating serious or life-threatening illnesses and that provide meaningful therapeutic benefit over existing treatments may receive accelerated approval and may be approved on the basis of adequate and well-controlled clinical trials establishing that the product has an effect on a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit or on the basis of an effect on a clinical endpoint other than survival or irreversible morbidity. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require that a sponsor of a product receiving accelerated approval perform adequate and well-controlled post-approval clinical trials to verify and further define the product\u0092s clinical benefit and safety profile. There can be no assurance that any of our products will receive accelerated approval. Even if accelerated approval is granted, the FDA may withdraw such approval if the sponsor fails to conduct the required post-approval clinical trials, or if the post-approval clinical trials fail to confirm the early benefits seen during the accelerated approval process.\nFast track designation and accelerated approval should be distinguished from priority review although products awarded fast track status may also be eligible for priority review. Products regulated by the CBER may receive priority review if they provide significant improvement in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of a serious or life-threatening disease. Products awarded priority review are given abbreviated review goals by the agency. Under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 2007, the agency has agreed to the performance goal of reviewing products awarded priority review within six months, whereas products under standard review receive a ten-month target. The review process, however, is often significantly extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification regarding information already provided in the submission. Priority review is requested at the time the BLA is submitted, and the FDA makes a decision as part of the agency\u0092s review of the application for filing. We plan to seek priority review for our trachea transplant products but cannot guarantee that the FDA will grant the designation and cannot predict if awarded, what impact, if any, it will have on the review time for approval of our product.\nIf granted, fast track designation, accelerated approval, and priority review may expedite the approval process, but they do not change the standards for approval.\nBefore approving a BLA, the FDA will generally inspect the facility or the facilities at which the finished product and its components are manufactured to ensure compliance with cGMP. If the FDA determines the application, manufacturing process or manufacturing facilities are not acceptable, it will either issue \u0093not approvable\u0094 letter or an \u0093approvable\u0094 letter. A \u0093not approvable\u0094 letter means that the FDA refuses to approve the application because the BLA or manufacturing facilities do not satisfy the regulatory criteria for approval. An \u0093approvable\u0094 letter means that the FDA considers the BLA and manufacturing facilities to be favorable, but the letter will outline the deficiencies and provide the applicant with an opportunity to submit additional information or data to address the deficiencies. If and when those conditions have been met to the FDA\u0092s satisfaction, the FDA will typically issue an approval letter. Notwithstanding the submission of any requested additional information, the FDA ultimately may decide that the application does not satisfy the regulatory criteria for approval. Separate approval is required for each proposed indication. If we want to expand the use\nof an approved product, we will have to design additional clinical trials, submit the trial designs to the FDA for review and complete those trials successfully.\nThe testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and each may take several years to complete. Data obtained from clinical activities are not always conclusive, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. The FDA may not grant approval on a timely basis, or at all. We may encounter difficulties or unanticipated costs in our efforts to secure necessary governmental approvals, which could delay or preclude us from marketing our products. The FDA may limit the indications for use or place other conditions, such as post approval studies, on any approvals that could restrict the commercial application of the products. After approval, some types of changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications, manufacturing changes and additional labeling claims, are subject to further testing requirements and FDA review and approval.\nAfter regulatory approval of a product is obtained, companies are required to comply with a number of post-approval requirements relating to manufacturing, labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising, promotion, distribution and recordkeeping. For example, as a condition of approval of a BLA, the FDA may require post-approval testing and surveillance to monitor the product\u0092s safety or efficacy. In addition, holders of an approved BLA are required to keep extensive records, to report certain adverse reactions and production deviations and problems to the FDA, to provide updated safety and efficacy information and to comply with requirements concerning advertising and promotional labeling for their products. If we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements of the FDA and other applicable U.S. and foreign regulatory authorities, or previously unknown problems with any approved commercial products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes are discovered, we could be subject to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions or other setbacks. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP and other aspects of regulatory compliance.\nSpecifically, our products could be subject to voluntary recall if we or the FDA determine, for any reason, that our products pose a risk of injury or are otherwise defective. Moreover, the FDA can order a mandatory recall if there is a reasonable probability that our device would cause serious adverse health consequences or death. In addition, the FDA could suspend the marketing of or withdraw a previously approved product from the market upon receipt of newly discovered information regarding the product\u0092s safety or effectiveness.\nThe Orphan Drug Act provides incentives to manufacturers to develop and market drugs and biologics for rare diseases and conditions affecting fewer than 200,000 persons in the U.S. at the time of application for orphan drug designation, or more than 200,000 individuals in the U.S. and for which there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making a drug or biological product available in the U.S. for this type of disease or condition will be recovered from sales of the product. Orphan product designation must be requested before submitting a new drug application, or NDA, or BLA. After the FDA grants orphan product designation, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are disclosed publicly by the FDA. Orphan product designation does not convey any advantage in or shorten the duration of the regulatory review and approval process. The first developer to receive FDA marketing approval for an orphan biologic is entitled to a seven year exclusive marketing period in the U.S. for that product as well as a waiver of the BLA user fee. The exclusivity prevents FDA approval of another application for the same product for the same indication for a period of seven years, except in limited circumstances where there is a change in formulation in the original product and the second product has been proven to be clinically superior to the first.\nHumanitarian Device Exemption\nAn HDE is a device that is intended to benefit patients by treating or diagnosing a disease or condition that affects fewer than 4,000 individuals in the U.S. per year. HDEs are exempt from requirements to demonstrate effectiveness. Still, they must pose no unreasonable risks, or at least the probable benefits should outweigh the risks. And the device must be used at a facility with an IRB. HDEs provide a powerful incentive for device\nmanufacturers to develop devices that help diagnose or treat patients with rare conditions. Otherwise, a company\u0092s research and development costs would likely exceed the market returns for serving such small patient populations.\nWe expect to start the regulatory work necessary for the EU submission of our clinical pump in 2013. In addition, we plan to seek required regulatory approvals and comply with extensive regulations governing product safety, quality, manufacturing and reimbursement processes in order to market our products in other major foreign markets. The regulation of our products in the EU and in other foreign markets varies significantly from one jurisdiction to another. The classification of the particular products and related approval or CE marking procedures can involve additional product testing and additional administrative review periods. The time required to obtain these foreign approvals or to CE mark our products may be longer or shorter than that required in the U.S., and requirements for approval may differ from the FDA requirements. Regulatory approval in one country does not ensure regulatory approval in another, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may negatively impact the regulatory process in others. To date, we have not initiated any discussions with any foreign regulatory authorities with respect to seeking regulatory approval of our products.\nIn the EU, the Directive 93/42/EEC provides the basic definition of a medical device and lays down the technical and procedural obligations which must be followed by the manufacturer of a medical device prior to affixing a CE mark to the product. Products falling within the scope of the Directive 93/42/EEC are subject to a conformity assessment procedure which often includes the intervention of a notified body. Medical devices must comply with the Essential Requirements laid down in Annex I to the Directive. Directive 93/42/EEC requires that manufacturers maintain a Technical File related to their products and to have clinical data supporting the safety and performance of the products during normal conditions of use. Manufacturers must also comply with quality system requirements which can be met by, among other things, demonstration of compliance with the ISO 13485:2003 standard. If the outcome of the conformity assessment conducted by the notified body is positive, the manufacturer will be issued a related CE Certificate of Conformity by its notified body and will be entitled to affix the CE mark to its medical devices after having signed a related Declaration of Conformity.\nThe marketing authorization of products containing viable human tissues or cells in the EU is governed by Regulation 1394/2007/EC on advanced therapy medicinal products, read in combination with Directive 2001/83/EC of the European parliament and of the Council, commonly known and the Community code on medicinal products. Regulation 1394/2007/EC lays down specific rules concerning the authorization, supervision and pharmacovigilance of medicinal products, cell therapy medicinal products and tissue engineered products. Manufacturers of advanced therapy medicinal products must demonstrate the quality, safety and efficacy of their products to the European Medicines Agency which is required to provide an opinion regarding the application for marketing authorization. The European Commission grants or refuses marketing authorization in light of the opinion delivered by the European Medicines Agency. Regulation 1394/2007/EC also applies to combination products which consist of medical devices and advanced therapy medicinal products. In light of Regulation 1394/2007/EC, a medical device which forms part of a combined advanced therapy medicinal product must meet the Essential Requirements laid down in Annex I to Directive 93/42/EEC. The manufacturer of the combination product must include evidence of such compliance in its marketing authorization application. The application for a marketing authorization for a combined advanced therapy medicinal product must also, where available, include the results of the assessment of the medical device part by a notified body in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC.\nLegislation similar to the Orphan Drug Act has been enacted in other jurisdictions, including the EU. The orphan legislation in the EU is available for therapies addressing conditions that affect five or fewer out of 10,000 persons. The marketing exclusivity period is for ten years, although that period can be reduced to six years if, at the end of the fifth year, available evidence establishes that the product is sufficiently profitable not to justify maintenance of market exclusivity.\nAt December 31, 2012, Harvard Bioscience had employees working in our business, of whom are based in the U.S., are in Germany and are in Sweden. Approximately percent of these employees are principally engaged in research, development, clinical and regulatory activities. None of our employees are unionized. In general, we consider our relations with our employees to be good.\nFollowing the separation, we will sublease approximately 10,000 square feet of mixed use space of the facility located at 84 October Hill Road, Holliston, Massachusetts from Harvard Bioscience, which will be our corporate headquarters. Our principal facilities incorporate manufacturing, laboratory, development, sales and marketing, and administration functions. We believe our current facilities are adequate for our needs for the foreseeable future.\nWe are not aware of any companies whose products are directly competitive with our bioreactor and scaffold system. However, in our key markets we may in the future compete with multiple pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and scientific research instrument companies, including, among others, Aastrom Biosciences, Aldagen, BioTime, Baxter International, Inc., Bose Corporation, Celgene, Cytori Therapeutics, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Genzyme (acquired by Sanofi-aventis), Harvest Technologies, Mesoblast, Nanofiber Solutions, Organovo, Osiris Therapeutics, Tengion, Tissue Genesis, Inc., Tissue Growth Technologies, Transmedics, United Therapeutics and W.L. Gore and Associates.\nWe are not aware of any companies whose products are directly competitive with our clinical infusion pumps for cell injection. However, with respect to our clinical infusion pump for hospital drug infusion applications, we will compete with Baxter International, Inc., Fresenius Medical Care, Smiths Medical, and B. Braun Melsungen, among others.\nMany of our potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, research and development, marketing, and personnel resources than we do. We cannot forecast if or when these or other companies may develop competitive products.\nWe expect that other products will compete with products and potential products based on efficacy, safety, cost, and intellectual property positions. While we believe that these will be the primary competitive factors, other factors include, in certain instances, obtaining marketing exclusivity under the Orphan Drug Act, availability of supply, manufacturing, marketing and sales expertise and capability, and reimbursement coverage.\nWhile we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, from time to time we may be a party to a variety of legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business.\nOur Directors and Executive Officers Following the Separation\nThe following table sets forth information as of December 11, 2012, regarding individuals who serve as our directors and/or executive officers.\nDavid Green 48 President, Chief Executive Officer\nand Chairman of the Board of Directors\nThomas McNaughton 52 Chief Financial Officer\nChane Graziano 74 Director\nJohn F.

Our board of directors will be divided into three classes with staggered terms, which means that directors in one of the classes will be elected each for a new three-year term. Class I directors will have an initial term expiring in 2014, Class II directors will have an initial term expiring in 2015 and Class III directors will have an initial term expiring in 2016.\nMr. Kennedy and Mr. Robinson meet NASDAQ\u0092s listing standards for independence. Mr. Green does not meet these standards because he is our employee. Mr. Graziano does not meet NASDAQ\u0092s listing standards for independence because he is the Chief Executive Officer of Harvard Bioscience.\nThe NASDAQ listing rules require that the board be comprised of a majority of independent directors. We intend to rely on the phase-in-periods provided by Rule 4350(a)(5) of the NASDAQ rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(iv)(A) of the Exchange Act, which provide for phase-in compliance where the issuer has not previously been required to file public company reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, we plan to have a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors and an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors within one year of our listing.\nThere are no family relationships among any of the individuals who are expected to serve as members of our board of directors and as our executive officers following Harvard Bioscience\u0092s planned distribution of our common stock to its stockholders.\nPrior to the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will have an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee.\nThe table below provides committee assignments for each of the committees of our board of directors:\nName Audit Committee Compensation Committee Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee\nJohn F. Kennedy X* X X\nThomas Robinson X* X*\nThe audit committee will be established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We are relying on the phase-in-periods provided by Rule 4350(a)(5) of the NASDAQ Rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(iv)(A) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, we plan to have an audit committee comprised solely of independent directors as defined by the NASDAQ listing standards within one year of our listing, and at least one director will satisfy the definition of audit committee financial expert as determined by the SEC.\nThe audit committee will be responsible for reviewing and discussing with management our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The board of directors and the audit committee will discuss matters relating to risks that arise or may arise.\nUpon completion of this offering, the audit committee will consist of John F. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy is considered independent under the NASDAQ listing standards and an audit committee financial expert under SEC rules. Prior to the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a written charter under which the audit committee will operate. A copy of the charter, which will satisfy the applicable standards of the SEC and NASDAQ, will be available without charge on the investor relations portion of our web site.\nEach member of the compensation committee will be independent as defined by the NASDAQ listing standards, subject to the phase-in periods provided by Rule 4350(a)(5) of the NASDAQ Rules. Accordingly, we plan to have a Compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors within one year of our listing.\nUpon completion of this offering, the compensation committee will consist of John F. Kennedy and Thomas Robinson, each of whom is considered an independent director under the NASDAQ listing standards. Prior to the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a written charter under which the compensation committee will operate. A copy of the charter, which will satisfy the applicable standards of the SEC and NASDAQ, will be available without charge on the investor relations portion of our web site.\nUpon completion of this offering, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consist of Thomas Robinson and John F. Kennedy, each of whom is considered an independent director under the NASDAQ listing standards. Prior to the consummation of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a written charter under which the nominating and corporate governance committee will operate. A copy of the charter, which will satisfy the applicable standards of the SEC and the NASDAQ Stock Market, will be available without charge on the investor relations portion of our web site.\nBoard Leadership Structure and the Board\u0092s Role in Risk Oversight\nOur board of directors believes that the combined role of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer promotes and facilitates information flow between management and the board of directors, which is essential to effective governance. Having considered the particular circumstances of our company, including its status as a \u0093controlled company,\u0094 the individual attributes of our current directors, including our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the effective manner in which certain of our directors historically have performed their duties as Harvard Bioscience directors, and the critical need for stability and continuity of leadership and decision-making necessary in connection with our separation from Harvard Bioscience, it is our board of directors\u0092 belief that, at this time, there is no need to separate the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.\nManagement is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face while the board of directors, as a whole and through its committees, will oversee risk management. The audit committee is responsible for reviewing and discussing with management our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The board of directors and the audit committee will review and discuss, including with management, risks that arise or may arise. For example, the audit committee will discuss financial risk, including with respect to financial reporting and internal controls, with management and our independent registered public accounting firm and the steps management has taken to minimize those risks. Our board of directors will also administer its risk oversight function through the required approval by the board of directors (or a committee of the board of directors) of significant transactions and other material decisions.\nEffective upon completion of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to our directors, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and all other officers and employees of our company and its subsidiaries. Copies of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be available without charge on the investor relations portion of our web site upon completion of this offering or upon request in writing to Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc., 84 October Hill Rd., Holliston, MA 01746, Attention: Corporate Secretary.\nNone of the members of our compensation committee is an officer or employee of our company. David Green currently serves as a member of the board of directors of Harvard Bioscience. Chane Graziano, the Chief Executive Officer of Harvard Bioscience is a member of our board of directors.\nDIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION\nNo compensation has been paid to our non-employee directors since our inception. Following completion of this offering, we intend to provide compensation to our non-employee directors that will enable us to attract and retain high-quality directors, provide them with compensation at a level that is consistent with our compensation objectives and competitive with market levels of director compensation, and encourage their ownership of our stock to further align their interests with those of our stockholders. Directors who are also our employees will receive no additional compensation for service as a director.\nAs an emerging growth company, we have opted to comply with the executive compensation disclosure rules applicable to \u0093smaller reporting companies\u0094 as such term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act. We have only two executive officers, David Green, our Chief Executive Officer, and Thomas McNaughton, our Chief Financial Officer, who will be our named executive officers. No compensation was paid to our executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Our officers were paid by Harvard Bioscience and the expense of such compensation was allocated to us in connection with the preparation of our financial statements included in this prospectus. As discussed below in more detail, during the time period following the consummation of this offering and the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience, Messrs. Green and McNaughton will remain employed at both our company and Harvard Bioscience. During this time period, they will continue to be compensated by Harvard Bioscience and 95% of the expense of such compensation for Mr. Green and 30% of the expense of such compensation for Mr. McNaughton will be allocated to us.\nEmployment Agreements \u0097 Named Executive Officers\nPrior to the consummation of this offering, we will enter into employment agreements with our named executive officers that will have a term that commences upon the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience.

Any distribution of the shares of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience to its stockholders will be expressly excluded from the definition of change in control in Mr. Green\u0092s employment agreement.\nMr. Green will not be entitled to severance payments unless mutually agreed upon in writing if Mr. Green is terminated for cause, due to death or disability, or he terminates his employment without good reason. In the event Mr. Green is terminated due to death or disability, we shall continue to pay health insurance premiums for health insurance coverage for Mr. Green and his immediate family for a period of one year following his termination.\nMr. Green is also eligible to receive a gross up payment in the event that any amounts received pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement are subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any interest or penalties on such excise tax are incurred by Mr. Green.

Such payment is conditioned upon Mr. McNaughton\u0092s execution of a general release of claims against us. In addition, all of Mr. McNaughton\u0092s stock options or stock based awards that would otherwise vest within the 18 month period following such termination shall accelerate and become immediately exercisable.

The Black-Scholes value of our stock options will be based on a number of assumptions, including an exercise price equal to $ , which is the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The actual exercise price of the stock options granted pursuant to such grants will be the initial public offering price. Such option grants will become effective as of, and are conditioned upon, the determination of the initial public offering price.\nTreatment of Outstanding Harvard Bioscience Equity Awards\nFollowing completion of this offering, all outstanding Harvard Bioscience stock options and restricted stock units will remain outstanding and will not be modified. At the time of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s distribution of our common stock it then owns, holders of Harvard Bioscience stock options and restricted stock units issued previously to employees and directors as part of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s equity compensation plans will receive an adjustment to their stock options and restricted stock units because those securities will not participate in the distribution. The adjustments will be based on the estimated value of the entire distribution, as measured by the relationship between Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock price just prior to and after the distribution. We expect that, for adjustments to the quantity of outstanding stock options and restricted stock units, Harvard Bioscience will provide 80% of the value of the adjustment by issuing the holder additional Harvard Bioscience restricted stock units and options for shares of Harvard Bioscience common stock and 20% of the value of the adjustment will be provided by us issuing restricted stock units and options for shares of our common stock. Such modified awards will otherwise have substantially identical terms, including term and vesting provisions, as the existing Harvard Bioscience equity awards. The continued vesting and exercisability of the stock options and restricted stock units will be conditioned on the recipient\u0092s continued service to or employment with Harvard Bioscience or our company.\nOn , 2013, our sole stockholder and board of directors approved our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2013 Plan, pursuant to which our board of directors can grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock awards, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards, performance shares and dividend equivalent rights to employees, directors and consultants. In addition, the issuance of awards in partial substitution for equity awards of common stock of Harvard Bioscience immediately prior to the spin-off of our company by Harvard Bioscience are authorized to be issued under the 2013 Plan.\nShares Available. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2013 Plan is shares of common stock. The shares underlying any awards that are forfeited, canceled or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2013 Plan will be added back to the shares authorized for issuance under the 2013 Plan. Shares tendered or held back upon exercise of an option or settlement of an award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding are not available for future issuance under the 2013 Plan. In addition, upon exercise of stock appreciation rights, the gross number of shares exercised shall be deducted from the total number of shares remaining available for issuance under the 2013 Plan. The share reserve under the 2013 Plan would be reduced by shares for each share that underlies an award granted under our 2013 Plan for deferred stock awards of restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards, performance share awards or other awards under our 2013 Plan for which the full value of such share is transferred by us to the award recipient.\nPlan Administration. The 2013 Plan will be administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors. The administrator of the 2013 Plan has full power and authority to select the participants to whom awards will be granted, to make any combination of awards to participants, to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of any award, subject to limitations, and to determine the specific terms and conditions of each award, subject to the provisions of the 2013 Plan. The administrator may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to grant awards to employees, other than our executive officers, provided that the administrator includes a limitation as to the number of shares that may be awarded and provides specific guidelines regarding such awards.\nEligibility and Limitations on Grants. All full-time and part-time officers, employees, non-employee directors and other key persons, including consultants, are eligible to participate in the 2013 Plan, subject to the discretion of the administrator. Approximately, individuals are currently eligible to participate in the 2013 Plan.\nPerformance-Based Compensation. To ensure that certain awards granted under the 2013 Plan, including awards of restricted stock, deferred stock, cash-based awards or performance shares to a \u0093Covered Employee\u0094 (as defined in the Code) qualify as \u0093performance-based compensation\u0094 under Section 162(m) of the Code, the 2013 Plan provides that the compensation committee may require that the vesting of such awards be conditioned on the satisfaction of performance criteria including: (1) return on equity, assets, capital or investment; (2) pre-tax or after-tax profit levels; (3) cash flow, funds from operations or similar measure; (4) total shareholder return; (5) changes in the market price of the our common stock; (6) revenues, sales or market share; (7) net income (loss) or earnings per share; (8) expense margins or operating efficiency (including budgeted spending limits) or (9) project development milestones, any of which may be measured either in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or as compared to results of a peer group and, for financial measures, may be based on numbers calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or on an as adjusted basis. These performance criteria may be expressed in terms of overall company performance or the performance of a division, business unit, or an individual. The compensation committee will select the particular performance criteria within 90 days following the commencement of a performance cycle, and each performance cycle must be at least three months long.\nSubject to adjustments for stock splits and similar events, the maximum award of restricted stock or deferred stock or performance shares (or combination thereof) granted to any one individual that is intended to qualify as \u0093performance-based compensation\u0094 under Section 162(m) of the Code will not exceed 1,000,000 shares, or $2,000,000 in the case of a performance-based award that is a cash-based award for any performance cycle, and options or stock appreciation rights with respect to no more than 1,000,000 shares may be granted to any one individual during any calendar year period.\nStock Options. The exercise price of stock options awarded under the 2013 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the option grant. The term of each stock option may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The administrator will determine at what time or times each option may be exercised and, subject to the provisions of the 2013 Plan, the period of time, if any, after retirement, death, disability or termination of employment during which options may be exercised.\nTo qualify as incentive stock options, stock options must meet additional federal tax requirements, including a $100,000 limit on the value of shares subject to incentive stock options which first become exercisable in any one calendar year, and a shorter term and higher minimum exercise price in the case of certain stockholders that hold more than ten percent of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock.\nAutomatic Grants to Non-Employee Directors. The 2013 Plan provides for the automatic grant of a non-qualified stock option to purchase shares of common stock to non-employee directors on the fifth day after being initially elected to the our board of directors. The exercise price of the automatically granted stock options is equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and, unless otherwise provided by the administrator, one-third of any such stock option grant becomes exercisable on each of the first through third anniversaries of the date of grant. The automatically granted stock options expire ten years after the date of grant.\nStock Appreciation Rights. The administrator may award a stock appreciation right independently of a stock option. The administrator may award stock appreciation rights subject to such conditions and restrictions as the administrator may determine, provided that the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and no stock appreciation right may be exercisable more than ten years after the date of grant. Additionally, during the participant\u0092s lifetime, all stock appreciation rights are exercisable only by the participant or the participant\u0092s legal representative.\nRestricted Stock. The administrator may award shares to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as the administrator may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with our company through a specified restricted period. However, in the event these awards to employees have a performance-based goal, the restriction period will be at least one year, and in the event these awards to employees have a time-based restriction, the restriction period will be at least three years.\nDeferred Stock. The administrator may award phantom stock units to participants subject to such conditions and restrictions as the administrator may determine. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with our company through a specified restricted period. However, in the event these awards to employees have a performance-based goal, the restriction period will be at least one year, and in the event these awards to employees have a time-based restriction, the restriction period will be at least three years. At the end of the deferral period, the participants shall be paid, to the extent vested, in shares.\nUnrestricted Stock. The administrator may grant shares (at par value or for a purchase price determined by the administrator) that are free from any restrictions under the 2013 Plan. Unrestricted stock may be issued to participants in recognition of past services or other valid consideration, and may be issued in lieu of cash compensation to be paid to such individuals.\nPerformance Shares. The administrator may grant performance share awards that entitle the recipient to acquire shares of common stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals. The administrator determines the performance goals, performance periods and other terms of any such awards. However, performance share awards to employees will have a restriction period of at least one year.\nCash-Based Awards. Each cash-based award shall specify a cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges as determined by the administrator. Payment, if any, with respect to a cash-based award may be made in cash or in shares of common stock, as the administrator determines.\nDividend Equivalent Rights. The administrator may award dividend equivalent rights under the 2013 Plan subject to such conditions and restrictions as the administrator may determine, provided that dividend equivalent rights may only be granted in tandem with restricted stock awards, deferred stock awards, performance share awards or unrestricted stock awards. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents.\nTax Withholding. Participants in the 2013 Plan are responsible for the payment of any federal, state or local taxes that we are required by law to withhold upon any option exercise or vesting of other awards. Subject to approval by the administrator, participants may elect to have the minimum tax withholding obligations satisfied either by authorizing us to withhold shares to be issued pursuant to an option exercise or other award, or by transferring to us shares having a value equal to the amount of such taxes.\nChange of Control Provisions. In the event of a merger, sale or dissolution of our company, or a similar \u0093sale event\u0094 (as defined in the 2013 Plan) and upon a change of control all outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan, unless otherwise provided for in a particular award agreement, all stock options and stock appreciation rights will automatically become fully exercisable and all other awards with conditions and restrictions relating solely to the passage of time will become fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the effective time of the sale event or change of control, except as may be otherwise provided in the relevant award agreement. The term change of control is defined in the 2013 Plan and generally refers to any person becoming the beneficial owner of more than twenty five percent voting power of our securities having the right to vote in an election of our board of directors, our board of directors at the time of the offering (or those added by approval of such directors) ceasing for any reason to constitute at least a majority of our board of directors, the consummation of a consolidation, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, and/or the approval by our stockholders of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of us. In addition, upon a sale event, all outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan will terminate unless the parties to the transaction, in their discretion, provide for assumption, continuation or appropriate substitutions or adjustments of such awards. In the event of such termination in connection with a sale event, each holder of an option or a stock appreciation right will be permitted to exercise such award for a specified period prior to the consummation of the sale event. The administrator may also provide for a cash payment with respect to outstanding options and stock appreciation rights in exchange for the cancellation of such awards.\nTerm. No awards of incentive stock options may be granted under the 2013 Plan after the 10-year anniversary of the date that the 2013 Plan was approved by the board of directors. No other awards may be granted under the 2013 Plan after the 10-year anniversary of the date that the 2013 Plan was approved by stockholders.\nAmendments. Stockholder approval will be required to amend the 2013 Plan if the administrator determines that this approval is required to ensure that incentive stock options qualify as such under the Code, or that compensation earned under awards qualifies as performance-based compensation under the Code or as required under the applicable securities exchange or market system rules. Otherwise, the board of directors may amend or discontinue the 2013 Plan at any time, and the administrator may amend or cancel any outstanding award for the purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, provided that no such amendment may adversely affect the rights under any outstanding award without the holder\u0092s consent.\nRepricing. Other than in the event of a necessary adjustment in connection with a change in our stock or a merger or similar transaction, the administrator may not \u0093reprice\u0094 or otherwise reduce the exercise price of outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights without stockholder approval.\nOn , 2013, our sole stockholder and board of directors approved the 2013 employee stock purchase plan. Under this plan, participating employees can authorize us to withhold a portion of their base pay during consecutive six-month payment periods for the purchase of shares of our common stock. Under this plan, shares of common stock are authorized for issuance. The first offering under the this will commence on and end on . Subsequent offerings will commence on each January 1 and July 1 thereafter and will have a duration of six months. Generally, all employees who are customarily employed for more than 20 hours per week as of the first day of the applicable offering period are eligible to participate in the plan. Any employee who owns or is deemed to own shares of stock representing in excess of 5% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock may not participate in the plan. During each offering, a participating employee may purchase shares under the plan by authorizing payroll deductions of up to 10% of his cash compensation during the offering period. Unless the employee has previously withdrawn from the offering, his accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase shares of our common stock on the last business day of the period at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. Under applicable tax rules, an employee may purchase no more than $25,000 worth of our common stock in any calendar year under the plan. We have not issued any shares to date under the plan.\nOur audit committee charter will set forth the standards, policies and procedures that we follow for the review, approval or ratification of any related person transaction that we are required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. Under the audit committee charter, which will be in writing, the audit committee must conduct an appropriate review of these related person transactions on an ongoing basis, and the approval of the audit committee is required for all such transactions. The audit committee relies on management to identify related person transactions and bring them to the attention of the audit committee. We do not have any formal policies and procedures regarding the identification by management of related person transactions.\nPrior to the consummation of this offering, we will have entered into employment agreements with our named executive officers that will have a term that commences upon the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience following this offering. For more information regarding our agreements with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, see \u0093Executive Compensation \u0097 Employment Agreements.\u0094\nWe have entered into or plan to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers, the form of which is attached as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. These agreements provide that we will, among other things, indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys\u0092 fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by us arising out of such person\u0092s services as our director or officer, or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request. We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.\nPrior to this offering we are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harvard Bioscience. Immediately following this offering, Harvard Bioscience will own at least eighty percent of our outstanding common stock and Harvard Bioscience will continue to control our operations through such ownership. Harvard Bioscience plans to distribute all of the shares of our common stock it then owns to Harvard Bioscience\u0092s stockholders on or after the date that is four months after the completion of this offering by means of a spin-off, which is a pro rata distribution by Harvard Bioscience of the shares of our common stock it owns to holders of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock. At such point Harvard Bioscience will no longer be a stockholder of our common stock and will no longer control our operations.\nDirectors and Officers of Harvard Bioscience\nSome of our directors and officers continue to serve as directors and officers of Harvard Bioscience, our parent company. David Green, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our board of directors, currently serves as the President and a director of Harvard Bioscience. Thomas McNaughton serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Harvard Bioscience as well as our Chief Financial Officer. It is anticipated that Messrs. Green and McNaughton will resign as officers of Harvard Bioscience at the time of the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience. Mr. Green intends to remain a director of Harvard Bioscience following this offering and such planned distribution. Chane Graziano, one of our directors, serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of Harvard Bioscience and intends to continue in such positions following this offering and such planned distribution. John F. Kennedy, one of our directors, is a director of Harvard Bioscience and intends to continue in such position following this offering and such planned distribution.\nAgreements with Harvard Bioscience\nBefore our separation from Harvard Bioscience, subject to the respective approval of our board of directors and the board of directors of Harvard Bioscience, we will enter into a separation and distribution agreement and several other agreements with Harvard Bioscience to effect the separation and provide a framework for our relationships with Harvard Bioscience after the separation. These agreements will govern the relationships between us and Harvard Bioscience subsequent to the completion of the separation plan and provide for the allocation between us and Harvard Bioscience of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s assets, liabilities and obligations (including employee benefits and tax-related assets and liabilities) related to its regenerative medicine device business, attributable to periods prior to our separation from Harvard Bioscience. In addition to the separation and distribution agreement, which contains many of the key provisions related to our separation from Harvard Bioscience and the distribution of our shares of common stock to Harvard Bioscience stockholders, these agreements include:\n\u0095 a series of commercial agreements, including an intellectual property cross-license, product distribution and non-competition agreement;\n\u0095 the tax sharing agreement;\n\u0095 the transition services agreement; and\n\u0095 the sublicense agreement.\nThe principal agreements described below are filed as exhibits to this prospectus, and the summaries of each of these agreements below set forth the terms of the agreements that we believe are material. These summaries are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the applicable agreements, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.\nThe terms of the agreements described below that will be in effect following our separation have not yet been finalized; changes, some of which may be material, may be made prior to our separation from Harvard Bioscience.\nIn connection with this offering, Harvard Bioscience will transfer all patents, patent applications and inventions not yet filed as patents, as well as any other trade secrets or know-how, that were originated in our business following our establishment as a division of Harvard Bioscience. We will grant Harvard Bioscience an exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that intellectual property, including any technology or intellectual property developed in the future for a specified period of time following this offering, for use within the industries and fields in which Harvard Bioscience is currently operating now and in the future, excluding the fields and industries in which we operate. Generally speaking, Harvard Bioscience develops, manufactures and sells life science research tools for research applications. In addition, Harvard Bioscience will grant to us an exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to all technology or intellectual property developed in the future for a specified period of time following this offering, for use within the industries and fields in which we operate. Each of the companies will continue to collaborate with each other and disclose new technologies it develops which could be the subject of the respective license arrangements. The companies will also enter into product distribution agreements pursuant to which each company will become the exclusive distributor for the other party for a specified period of time for products it develops for sale in the markets served by the other company. In connection with the arrangements described above, it is expected that the parties will become subject to non-competition provisions protecting each of their respective fields for a specified period of time.\nSeparation and Distribution Agreement\nThe separation and distribution agreement sets forth the agreements between us and Harvard Bioscience regarding the principal corporate transactions required to effect our separation from Harvard Bioscience, this offering and the distribution, if any, of our shares to Harvard Bioscience\u0092s stockholders, and other agreements governing the relationship between Harvard Bioscience and us.\nThe separation and distribution agreement will identify assets to be transferred, liabilities to be assumed and contracts to be assigned to each of us and Harvard Bioscience as part of the separation of Harvard Bioscience into two companies, and it will provide for when and how these transfers, assumptions and assignments will occur. In particular, the separation and distribution agreement will provide, among other things, that, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein:\n\u0095 certain assets related to the businesses and operations of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s regenerative medicine device business, which we refer to as the HART Assets, will be transferred to us or one of our subsidiaries;\n\u0095 certain liabilities (including whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) arising out of or resulting from the HART Assets, and other liabilities related to the businesses and operations of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s regenerative medicine device business, which we refer to as the HART Liabilities, will be retained by or transferred to us or one of our subsidiaries;\n\u0095 all of the assets and liabilities (including whether accrued, contingent or otherwise) other than the HART Assets and HART Liabilities (such assets and liabilities, other than the HART Assets and the HART Liabilities, are referred to as the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities, respectively) will be retained by or transferred to Harvard Bioscience or one of its subsidiaries; and\n\u0095 certain shared contracts will be assigned, in part to us or our applicable subsidiaries or be appropriately amended.\nExcept as may expressly be set forth in the separation and distribution agreement or any other transaction agreements, all assets will be transferred on an \u0093as is,\u0094 \u0093where is\u0094 basis and the respective transferees will bear the economic and legal risks that (1) any conveyance will prove to be insufficient to vest in the transferee good title, free and clear of any security interest, and (2) any necessary consents or governmental approvals are not obtained or that any requirements of laws or judgments are not complied with.\nInformation in this prospectus with respect to the assets and liabilities of the parties following the separation is presented based on the allocation of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, unless the context otherwise requires. Certain of the liabilities and obligations to be assumed by one party or for which one party will have an indemnification obligation under the separation and distribution agreement and the other transaction agreements relating to the separation are, and following the separation may continue to be, the legal or contractual liabilities or obligations of the other party. Each party that continues to be subject to such legal or contractual liability or obligation will rely on the applicable party that assumed the liability or obligation or the applicable party that undertook an indemnification obligation with respect to the liability or obligation, as applicable, under the separation and distribution agreement to satisfy the performance and payment obligations or indemnification obligations with respect to such legal or contractual liability or obligation.\nIn general, each party to the separation and distribution agreement will assume liability for all pending, threatened and unasserted legal matters related to its own business or its assumed or retained liabilities and will indemnify the other party for any liability to the extent arising out of or resulting from such assumed or retained legal matters.\nThe separation and distribution agreement will provide that, subject to any provisions in the separation and distribution agreement or any other transaction agreement to the contrary, at or prior to the distribution of our common stock, all intercompany accounts between Harvard Bioscience and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and our company and our subsidiaries, on the other hand, will be settled.\nTo the extent that any transfers contemplated by the separation and distribution agreement have not been consummated on or prior to the date of the separation, the parties will agree to cooperate to effect such\ntransfers as promptly as practicable following the date of the separation. In addition, each of the parties will agree to cooperate with the other party and use commercially reasonable efforts to take or to cause to be taken all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by the separation and distribution agreement and the other transaction agreements.\nFor a description of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s ownership in us after completion of this offering, see \u0093Principal Stockholders.\u0094\nThe separation and distribution agreement will provide that the separation and this offering are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Harvard Bioscience in its sole discretion) of the following conditions:\n\u0095 the completion of the separation and the related transactions in accordance with the plan of reorganization set forth in the separation and distribution agreement;\n\u0095 the SEC declaring effective our registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus is a part;\n\u0095 our receipt of approximately $10 million in cash from Harvard Bioscience;\n\u0095 all actions and filings necessary or appropriate under federal, state or foreign securities laws have been taken and, where applicable, become effective or been accepted by the applicable governmental authority;\n\u0095 the approval for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market of the shares of our common stock being sold in this offering;\n\u0095 the transaction agreements relating to the separation have been duly executed and delivered by the parties;\n\u0095 we have entered into the underwriting agreement and all conditions to our obligations and the underwriters\u0092 obligations under the underwriting agreement will have been satisfied or waived;\n\u0095 Harvard Bioscience is satisfied in its sole discretion that it will own at least 80% of our stock on a fully diluted basis, and Harvard Bioscience is satisfied in its sole discretion that all other conditions to the distribution qualifying as a tax-free distribution to Harvard Bioscience, us and Harvard Bioscience\u0092s stockholders, to the extent applicable, as of the time of this offering, are satisfied and there is not any event or condition that is likely to cause any of such conditions not to be satisfied as of the time of the distribution or thereafter;\n\u0095 no order, injunction or decree issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing consummation of the separation or this offering or any of the related transactions is in effect;\n\u0095 such other actions as Harvard Bioscience or we may, based upon the advice of counsel, reasonably request to be taken prior to the separation and this offering in order to assure the successful completion of the separation and this offering and the other transactions contemplated by the separation and distribution agreement will have been taken;\n\u0095 no termination of the separation and distribution agreement has occurred; and\n\u0095 no event or development has occurred or existed or is expected to occur that, in the judgment of the Harvard Bioscience board of directors, in its sole discretion, makes it inadvisable to effect the separation or this offering.\nThe separation and distribution agreement also governs the rights and obligations of Harvard Bioscience and our company regarding the proposed distribution by Harvard Bioscience to its stockholders of the shares of our common stock held by Harvard Bioscience following this offering, which we also refer to in this prospectus as the distribution. Harvard Bioscience expects to accomplish this distribution through a spin-off,\nwhich is a pro rata distribution by Harvard Bioscience of its shares of our common stock to holders of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s common stock. There are various conditions to the completion of the distribution. In addition, Harvard Bioscience may terminate its obligation to complete the distribution at any time if the Harvard Bioscience board of directors, in its sole discretion, determines that the distribution is not in the best interests of Harvard Bioscience or its stockholders. Consequently, we cannot assure you as to when or whether the distribution will occur.\nThe separation and distribution agreement provides that Harvard Bioscience\u0092s obligation to complete the distribution is subject to several conditions that must be satisfied (or waived by Harvard Bioscience in its sole discretion), including, among others:\n\u0095 Harvard Bioscience receives a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that, among other things, the contribution by Harvard Bioscience of the regenerative medicine device business to us and the distribution will qualify as a transaction that is tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code continuing in effect, and Harvard Bioscience\u0092s receipt of an opinion from Burns & Levinson LLP, counsel to Harvard Bioscience, to the effect that the contribution and distribution will qualify as a transaction that is described in Section 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code;\n\u0095 all governmental approvals necessary to consummate the distribution have been obtained and are in full force and effect;\n\u0095 all actions and filings necessary or appropriate under applicable securities laws in connection with the distribution will have been taken or made, and, where applicable, become effective or been accepted by the applicable governmental authority;\n\u0095 the approval for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market of the shares of our common stock to be distributed to the Harvard Bioscience stockholders in the distribution;\n\u0095 no order, injunction or decree issued by any court or agency of competent jurisdiction or other legal restraint or prohibition preventing consummation of the distribution or any of the related transactions are in effect, and no other event outside the control of Harvard Bioscience has occurred or failed to occur that prevents the consummation of the distribution or any of the related transactions; and\n\u0095 no other events or developments have occurred subsequent to the completion of this offering that, in the judgment of the Harvard Bioscience board of directors, would result in the distribution not being in the best interest of Harvard Bioscience or its stockholders.\nHarvard Bioscience has the right to terminate its obligation to complete the distribution if, at any time, Harvard Bioscience\u0092s board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the distribution is not in the best interests of Harvard Bioscience or its stockholders. In the event of such termination following the separation, neither party will have any liability to the other party under the separation and distribution agreement in respect of the distribution.\nWe will cooperate with Harvard Bioscience to accomplish the distribution and will, at Harvard Bioscience\u0092s direction, promptly take any and all actions necessary or desirable to effect the distribution, including, without limitation, the registration under the Securities Act of our common stock on an appropriate registration form or forms to be designated by Harvard Bioscience.\nWe have agreed that, for so long as Harvard Bioscience beneficially owns at least 50 percent of the total voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of our board of directors, we will not (without Harvard Bioscience\u0092s prior written consent):\n\u0095 take any action that would limit the ability of Harvard Bioscience to transfer its shares of our common stock or limit the rights of any transferee of Harvard Bioscience as a holder of our common stock;\n\u0095 if Harvard Bioscience beneficially owns at least 80% of the total voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of our board of directors, issue any shares of our capital\nstock or any rights, warrants or options to acquire our common stock if this could cause Harvard Bioscience to own (1) less than 80% of the total voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of our board of directors, (2) less than 80% of any class of capital stock not entitled to vote in the election of our board of directors, or (3) less than 80% of the value of our outstanding capital stock;\n\u0095 take any actions that could reasonably result in Harvard Bioscience being in breach of or in default under any contract or agreement;\n\u0095 incur any indebtedness that could be reasonably likely to adversely impact the credit rating of any indebtedness of Harvard Bioscience;\n\u0095 acquire any other businesses or assets or dispose of any of our assets, in each case with an aggregate value for all such transactions in excess of $20 million; or\n\u0095 acquire any equity interests in, or loan any funds to, third parties in excess of $10 million in the aggregate.\nThe separation and distribution agreement will also allocate liabilities and responsibilities relating to employee compensation, benefit plans, programs and other related matters in connection with the separation, including the treatment of outstanding incentive awards and certain retirement and welfare benefit obligations. The separation and distribution agreement provides for certain adjustments with respect to Harvard Bioscience equity compensation awards that will occur when Harvard Bioscience completes the distribution. Such adjustment is required under the Harvard Bioscience employee benefit plans and it is anticipated that each outstanding Harvard Bioscience option to purchase Harvard Bioscience common stock shall be converted on the date of the distribution into both an adjusted Harvard Bioscience option to purchase Harvard Bioscience common stock and an option to purchase our common stock. It is currently anticipated that Black-Scholes valuation modeling will be used to determine the value that each Harvard Bioscience option has lost at the time of the distribution and then to ensure the holder maintains such lost value, 80% of such lost value will be provided back to the holder by making appropriate adjustments to the share amount and exercise price of the existing Harvard Bioscience option and 20% of such lost value will be provided back to the holder through the issuance of an option to purchase our common stock. The share amounts and exercise prices of the adjusted Harvard Bioscience options and our options would be adjusted in a manner to ensure the intrinsic value held by the holder pertaining to the existing Harvard Bioscience award is maintained immediately following the distribution and shall be determined such that tax is not triggered under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.\nSimilar to the adjustment of the existing Harvard Bioscience options, with respect to each unvested Harvard Bioscience restricted stock unit outstanding at the time of the distribution, such Harvard Bioscience restricted stock unit shall be converted on the distribution date into both an adjusted Harvard Bioscience restricted stock unit and a restricted stock unit in our company. Immediately following the distribution, the market prices of Harvard Bioscience and our common stock will be used to determine the value that each Harvard Bioscience restricted stock unit lost at the time of the distribution and then to ensure the holder maintains such lost value, 80% of such lost value will be provided back to the holder by making appropriate increase of the share amount of the existing Harvard Bioscience restricted stock unit and 20% of such lost value will be provided back to the holder through the issuance of our restricted stock unit. The share amounts of the adjusted Harvard Bioscience restricted stock unit and our restricted stock unit would be set in a manner to ensure the intrinsic value held by the holder pertaining to the existing Harvard Bioscience award is maintained immediately following the distribution and shall be determined such that tax is not triggered under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.\nAuditors and Audits; Annual Financial Statements and Accounting\nWe have agreed that, for so long as Harvard Bioscience is required to consolidate our results of operations and financial position or account for its investment in our company under the equity method of accounting, we will:\n\u0095 not change our independent auditors without Harvard Bioscience\u0092s prior written consent;\n\u0095 use our best efforts to enable our independent auditors to complete their audit of our financial statements in a timely manner so as to permit timely filing of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s financial statements;\n\u0095 provide to Harvard Bioscience and its independent auditors all information required for Harvard Bioscience to meet its schedule for the filing and distribution of its financial statements and to make available to Harvard Bioscience and its independent auditors all documents necessary for the annual audit of our company as well as access to the responsible company personnel so that Harvard Bioscience and its independent auditors may conduct their audits relating to our financial statements;\n\u0095 adhere to certain specified Harvard Bioscience accounting policies and notify and consult with Harvard Bioscience regarding any changes to our accounting principles and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements, and any deficiencies in, or violations of law in connection with, our internal control over financial reporting; and\n\u0095 consult with Harvard Bioscience regarding the timing and content of our earnings releases and cooperate fully (and cause our independent auditors to cooperate fully) with Harvard Bioscience in connection with any of its public filings.\nExcept as otherwise provided in the separation and distribution agreement or any other transaction agreements, each party will release and forever discharge the other party and its respective subsidiaries and affiliates from all liabilities existing or arising from any acts or events occurring or failing to occur or alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur or any conditions existing or alleged to have existed on or before the separation from Harvard Bioscience. The releases will not extend to obligations or liabilities under any agreements between the parties that remain in effect following the separation, which agreements include, but are not limited to, the separation and distribution agreement, the transition services agreement, the tax sharing agreement, and certain commercial agreements and the transfer documents in connection with the separation.\nIn addition, the separation and distribution agreement will provide for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our business with us and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of Harvard Bioscience\u0092s business with Harvard Bioscience. Specifically, each party will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and subsidiaries and its officers, directors, employees and agents for any losses arising out of or otherwise in connection with:\n\u0095 the liabilities that each such party assumed or retained pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement (which, in the case of our company, would include the HART liabilities and, in the case of Harvard Bioscience, would include the excluded liabilities) and the other transaction agreements;\n\u0095 the operation of such party\u0092s business (other than, in the case of Harvard Bioscience, our business);\n\u0095 any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of such party or its subsidiaries by the other party or any of its subsidiaries that survives following the separation date; and\n\u0095 any breach by such party of the separation and distribution agreement or the other transaction agreements.\nAlso, we will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Harvard Bioscience, its affiliates and subsidiaries and its officers, directors, employees and agents for any losses arising out of or otherwise in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or in this prospectus or necessary to make the statements in such registration statement or this prospectus not misleading.\nThe separation and distribution agreement also specifies procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters.\nUnder the separation and distribution agreement, following the separation, we and Harvard Bioscience are obligated to provide each other access to information as follows:\n\u0095 subject to applicable confidentiality obligations and other restrictions, we and Harvard Bioscience will give each other any information within each other\u0092s possession that the requesting party reasonably needs to comply with requirements imposed on the requesting party by a governmental authority, for use in any proceeding or to satisfy audit, accounting or similar requirements, or to comply with its obligations under the separation and distribution agreement or any ancillary agreement;\n\u0095 we will maintain in effect at our own cost and expense adequate systems and controls to the extent necessary to enable Harvard Bioscience and its subsidiaries to satisfy their respective reporting, accounting, audit and other obligations, and we will provide to Harvard Bioscience in such form as Harvard Bioscience may request, at no charge to Harvard Bioscience, all financial and other data and information as Harvard Bioscience determines necessary or advisable in order to prepare its financial statements and reports or filings with any governmental authorities, including copies of all quarterly and annual financial information and other reports and documents we intend to file with the SEC prior to such filings (as well as final copies upon filing), and copies of our budgets and financial projections;\n\u0095 subject to certain exceptions we and Harvard Bioscience will use reasonable efforts to make available to each other, our past, present and future directors, officers, other employees and representatives to the extent reasonably required as witnesses in any legal, administrative or other proceedings in which the other party may become involved;\n\u0095 the company providing information, consultant or witness services under the separation and distribution agreement will be entitled to reimbursement from the other for reasonable expenses incurred in providing this assistance;\n\u0095 we will retain certain information owned by us or in our possession relating to our business in accordance with Harvard Bioscience\u0092s record retention policy and, if we intend to destroy this information prior to the end of the retention period required by Harvard Bioscience\u0092s retention policy, we must give Harvard Bioscience the opportunity to take possession of the information; and\n\u0095 we and Harvard Bioscience will hold in strict confidence all proprietary information concerning or belonging to the other party for a five year period after the separation, unless legally required to disclose such proprietary information.\nThe separation and distribution agreement provides for the allocation among the parties of rights and obligations under existing insurance policies with respect to occurrences prior to the separation and will set forth procedures for the administration of insured claims. In addition, the separation and distribution agreement will allocate between the parties the right to proceeds and the obligation to incur certain deductibles under certain insurance policies. The separation and distribution agreement will also provide that Harvard Bioscience will obtain, subject to the terms of the agreement, certain directors and officers insurance policies to apply against certain pre-separation claims, if any.\nWe shall pay, or reimburse Harvard Bioscience to the extent it has paid such amounts, all third-party costs, fees and expenses relating to the offering, the underwriting discounts and commissions, all of the reimbursable expenses of the underwriters pursuant to the underwriting agreement and all of the costs of producing, printing, mailing and otherwise distributing the prospectus. All other third-party fees, costs and expenses paid or incurred in connection with our separation from Harvard Bioscience and the planned distribution will be paid by Harvard Bioscience. Except as otherwise set forth above or as provided in the separation and distribution agreement or other transaction agreements, all other costs and expenses will be borne by the party incurring such costs and expenses.\nThe separation and distribution agreement may be terminated and the distribution may be amended, modified or abandoned at any time prior to the separation date by Harvard Bioscience. Harvard Bioscience also has the right to terminate its obligation to complete the distribution if, at any time, Harvard Bioscience\u0092s board of directors determines, in its sole discretion, that the distribution is not in the best interests of Harvard Bioscience or its stockholders. In the event of a termination of the separation and distribution agreement on or after the completion of this offering, only the provisions of the separation and distribution agreement that obligate the parties to pursue the distribution will terminate. The other provisions of the separation and distribution agreement and the other transaction agreements that Harvard Bioscience and we enter into will remain in full force and effect.\nPrior to this offering, we and Harvard Bioscience will enter into a tax sharing agreement that will govern the parties\u0092 respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. In general, under the tax sharing agreement:\n\u0095 With respect to any periods (or portions thereof) ending at or prior to the distribution, Harvard Bioscience is responsible for any U.S. federal income taxes (including any interest or penalties thereon and any audit adjustment) and any U.S. state or local income taxes (including any interest or penalties thereon and any audit adjustment) reportable on a consolidated, combined or unitary return.\n\u0095 After the planned distribution of our common stock by Harvard Bioscience, Harvard Bioscience will be responsible for U.S. federal, state or local income taxes reportable on returns that include only Harvard Bioscience and its subsidiaries (excluding us and our subsidiaries), and we will be responsible for any U.S. federal, state or local income taxes reportable on returns that include only us and our subsidiaries.\n\u0095 Harvard Bioscience is responsible for any non-income taxes reportable on returns that include only Harvard Bioscience and its subsidiaries (excluding us and our subsidiaries), and after the planned distribution, we are responsible for any non-income taxes filed on returns that include only us and our subsidiaries.\nWe are generally not entitled to receive payment from Harvard Bioscience in respect of any of our tax attributes or tax benefits or any reduction of taxes of Harvard Bioscience. Moreover, Harvard Bioscience is generally entitled to refunds of income taxes with respect to periods (or portions thereof) ending at or prior to the distribution.\nIf we realize any refund, credit or other reduction in otherwise required tax payments in any period (or portion thereof) beginning after the distribution as a result of an audit adjustment resulting in taxes for which Harvard Bioscience would otherwise be responsible, then, subject to certain exceptions, Harvard Bioscience will be entitled to such refund, credit or reduction. Further, if any taxes result to Harvard Bioscience as a result of a reduction in our tax attributes for a period (or portion thereof) ending at or prior to the distribution pursuant to an audit adjustment (relative to the amount of such tax attribute reflected on Harvard Bioscience\u0092s tax return as originally filed), then, subject to certain exceptions, Harvard Bioscience will be responsible for paying the amount of any such taxes.\nOur obligations under the tax sharing agreement are not limited in amount or subject to any cap. Further, even if we are not responsible for tax liabilities of Harvard Bioscience and its subsidiaries under the tax sharing agreement, we nonetheless could be liable under applicable tax law for such liabilities.\nThe tax sharing agreement also assigns responsibilities for administrative matters, such as the filing of returns, payment of taxes due, retention of records and conduct of audits, examinations or similar proceedings.

        "title": "SEC.gov | Defunct Company, Stock Continues to Trade",
        "raw_content": "Defunct Company, Stock Continues to Trade\nEven when a company is no longer in business, there may still be active trading in its stock. This is because companies that are no longer operating may still have outstanding registered stock, which can be traded until the company has the shares deregistered or the stock's registration is revoked. The SEC does not have a rule that prohibits the trading of stock once a company becomes defunct because it does not want to forbid transactions between willing buyers and sellers, including those holding shares in defunct companies\nInformation on bankruptcy is available here. Other issues that might arise with defunct companies include the following:\nTrading stocks v. publishing quotations in stocks. Rule 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits broker-dealers from publishing a quotation for a security (an offer to buy or sell) unless they have reviewed certain information about the company. The rule regulates when broker-dealers may publish a quotation in, the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, the Pink Sheets or other quotation mediums, but does not, address when a stock can be traded between two broker-dealers. As a result, there may be trading in a stock even though the company is no longer in business and quotations in the stock are not actively published.\nAn exception to the rule permits a broker-dealer to publish quotations for a stock without reviewing information about the company if there are regular and continuous quotations published for a specified period of time by broker-dealers that did have the appropriate information. Although a company has become defunct, its stock may still be quoted under this \"piggy-back\" exception. In addition, if a company becomes defunct after quotations in the stock are published for the specified time period, the broker-dealer is not obligated to acquire current information on the company.\nThe SEC may invoke a trading suspension. In some cases, the SEC or an exchange may halt trading in the stock of a defunct company if the stock price appears to be manipulated or if it believes that public information about the issuer is false or misleading. When the trading suspension ends, a broker-dealer wishing to publish quotations must comply with Rule 15c2-11, which may be impossible to do in the case of a defunct company.\nThe SEC may revoke the registration of stocks. In some circumstances, the SEC may revoke the registration of a defunct company's stock. Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act authorizes the SEC to revoke the registration of a security if the issuer fails to comply with the federal securities laws. Broker-dealers may not execute any trades in stocks whose registration has been revoked pursuant to Section 12(j).\nA defunct company may not have a transfer agent. In some situations, the defunct company does not have a transfer agent. Although the federal securities laws do not require a company to have a transfer agent, if a company does not have a transfer agent, investors are unable to receive or transfer their stock certificates. Sometimes the SEC has considered a company's lack of a transfer agent as a factor in determining whether to revoke the registration of stock pursuant to Section 12(j) for the protection of investors.",

        "title": "IRS Releases Additional Guidance on the Paid Leave Tax Credit | sequoia.com IRS Releases Additional Guidance on the Paid Leave Tax Credit | sequoia.com",
        "raw_content": "The IRS recently issued Notice 2018-71, which provides awaited additional guidance on the employer credit for paid family and medical leave under section 45S of the Internal Revenue Code. Click here to review our previous article that gives a more general overview of the law.\nThe new guidance provides 34 questions and answers and covers topics such as employer eligibility, minimum requirements, written policy requirements, minimum leave requirements, qualifying employees, and calculating and claiming the credit.\nThe questions and answers listed in Notice 2018-71 are incredibly detailed and it is recommended that employers review the notice. That being said, the following information are some of the main points covered in the guidance.\nHow to Claim the Credit. An eligible employer must file IRS Form 8994, Employer Credit for Paid Family and Medical Leave, and IRS Form 3800, General Business Credit, with its tax return to claim the credit.\nWritten Policy Required. Employers must adopt a written policy that does the following: covers all qualifying employees; provides at least two weeks of annual paid family and medical leave (with a proportionate amount of leave for part-time qualifying employees); the policy must provide for at least 50% of wages; and the policy must include \u201cnon-interference\u201d protections if an qualifying employee is not covered under title I of the FMLA.\nQualifying Employee. A qualifying employee is an employee who has been employed by the employer for one year or more, and whose compensation for the preceding year does not exceed an amount equal to 60% of the amount applicable for that year. For 2017, the applicable amount is $120,000. Accordingly, to be a qualifying employee in 2018, an employee must have earned no more than $72,000 (60 percent of $120,000) in compensation in 2017 (or if applicable, in the employer\u2019s fiscal year beginning in 2017).\nState-Required Leave Not Eligible. Any leave paid by a State or local government or required by State or local law is not taken into account in determining the amount of paid family and medical leave provided by the employer. The following examples explain how an employer that is required to provide leave by the state might still qualify for the credit.\nExample 1. Facts: Under State law, an employee on family and medical leave is eligible to receive six weeks of benefits paid by a State insurance fund at a rate of 50 percent of the employee\u2019s normal wages. Additionally, Employer\u2019s written policy concurrently provides each qualifying employee with six weeks of annual paid family and medical leave at a rate of payment of 30 percent of the wages normally paid to the employee for services performed for Employer. Consequently, in the aggregate, a qualifying employee can receive six weeks of annual paid family and medical leave at a rate of payment of 80 percent of the wages normally paid to the employee. Conclusion: Employer\u2019s policy does not independently satisfy the requirement that the rate of payment be at least 50 percent of the wages normally paid to an employee.\nExample 2. Facts: Same facts as Example 1, except that Employer\u2019s written policy provides each qualifying employee with six weeks of annual paid family and medical leave at a rate of payment of 50 percent of the wages normally paid to the employee that runs concurrently with the State leave. Consequently, in the aggregate, a qualifying employee can receive six weeks of annual paid family and medical leave at a rate of payment of 100 percent of the wages normally paid to the employee. Conclusion: Employer\u2019s policy independently satisfies the requirement that the rate of payment be at least 50 percent of the wages normally paid to an employee. Only wages paid under Employer\u2019s written policy (50 percent of wages normally paid to the employee) may be used in calculating the credit. Wages paid pursuant to State law are not used in calculating the credit.\nExample 3. Facts: Under State law, employers are required to provide employees six weeks of family and medical leave, and the State law permits this leave to be either paid or unpaid. Employer\u2019s written policy provides each qualifying employee with six weeks of annual paid family and medical leave at a rate of payment of 50 percent of the wages normally paid to the employee. Conclusion: Employer\u2019s policy independently satisfies the requirement that the rate of payment be at least 50 percent of the wages normally paid to an employee.\nTiming Requirement. For the first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, the employer\u2019s written policy must be in place before the paid family and medical leave for which the employer claims the credit is taken. The written policy is considered to be in place on the later of the policy\u2019s adoption date or the policy\u2019s effective date.\nTransition Rule. For an employer\u2019s first taxable year beginning after December 31, 2017, a written leave policy or an amendment to a policy (whether it is a new policy for the taxable year or an existing policy) will be considered to be in place as of the effective date of the policy (or amendment), rather than a later adoption date, if (a) the policy (or amendment) is adopted on or before December 31, 2018, and (b) the employer brings its leave practices into compliance with the terms of the retroactive policy (or retroactive amendment) for the entire period covered by the policy (or amendment), including making any retroactive leave payments no later than the last day of the taxable year.\nExample 1. Facts: Employer\u2019s taxable year is the calendar year. Employee takes two weeks of unpaid family and medical leave beginning January 15, 2018. Employer adopts a written policy that satisfies the requirements on October 1, 2018, and chooses to make the policy effective retroactive to January 1, 2018. At the time the policy is adopted, Employer pays Employee (at a rate of payment provided by the policy) for the two weeks of unpaid leave taken in January 2018. Conclusion: Assuming all other requirements for the credit are met, Employer may claim the credit with respect to the family and medical leave paid to Employee for the leave taken in January 2018.\nExample 2. Facts: Employer\u2019s taxable year is the calendar year. Employer amends its FMLA policy in writing on April 15, 2018, effective for leave taken on or after April 15, 2018, to provide that four weeks of FMLA leave will be paid leave. Employer\u2019s FMLA policy does not provide for leave for qualifying employees who are not covered by title I of the FMLA or include \u201cnon-interference\u201d language. Employee, who is a qualifying employee, but who is not covered by title I of the FMLA, takes three weeks of unpaid family and medical leave beginning June 18, 2018. On October 1, 2018, Employer amends its written policy to include \u201cnon-interference\u201d language and to provide paid leave effective April 15, 2018, for qualifying employees who are not covered by title I of the FMLA. On October 15, 2018, Employer pays Employee for the three weeks of family and medical leave Employee took beginning June 18, 2018. Conclusion: Assuming all other requirements for the credit are met, Employer may claim the credit with respect to the family and medical leave paid to Employee for the leave taken beginning in June 2018.\nReview current policies and make any amendments, as needed, to come into compliance.\nAdopt your policy on or before December 31, 2018 and ensure that the policy is written.\nIf the policy is retroactive, be sure to bring the qualifying leave into compliance for the entire period covered under the policy (including making any retroactive payments by the last day of the taxable year).\nCalculate and claim the credit on the proper tax forms.\nSequoia Blog \u2013 New Paid Family Leave Tax Credit",

        "raw_content": "A homeless man and his dog\nBy Tom Moriarty June 8, 2016\nIn this Feb. 23, 2008 file photo, one of Michael Vick's fighting dogs hides in its shelter at Best Friends animal sanctuary, north of Kanab, Utah. Vick is scheduled to plead guilty to state dogfighting and animal cruelty charges Tuesday Nov. 25, 2008 in a deal that calls for a suspended sentence and probation. (AP Photo/Douglas C. Pizac, File)\nPhoto: Douglas C. Pizac, AP\nI took Caltrain up to the city last weekend and, as you might imagine, I met a lot of homeless people on my walks around town. I met addicted homeless, mentally ill homeless, yelling and flailing homeless, sleeping and passed-out-on-the-ground homeless, and all kinds of panhandlers. I saw homeless limping on crutches, slouching in wheelchairs and shuffling aimlessly around street corners.\nLike a true urbanite, however, I did not give a single one of them a second look. I kept my head down and kept walking, determined to get to wherever it was I was going. Whatever I was doing was much more important than helping these people.\nAnd I wasn\u2019t alone. It\u2019s not as if I was some heartless out-of-towner, the only person on a bustling street hurrying by, oblivious to the suffering around me. Every other person on the street did exactly what I did: avoided eye contact and maybe \u2014 just maybe \u2014 offered a tight smile and a sympathetic nod.\nUntil we saw a guy yelling at his dog in Fort Mason park. And not yelling in the usual \u201cGet over here, you knucklehead!\u201d kind of way. This guy picked up his dog and slammed him to the ground, then demanded to know what was wrong with him today.\n\u201cWhy are you acting this way?\u201d he yelled, expecting the dog to answer in a thoughtful, comparative way, perhaps identifying a change in the weather for his unusual behavior. The dog didn\u2019t answer, of course, and that infuriated the guy even more.\nThe guy had a sign for begging that read \u201cPersian Gulf Veteran,\u201d but I didn\u2019t bother to read the small print. I even wondered if he was lying. He didn\u2019t matter, and his excuses didn\u2019t matter either. But his mistreatment of his dog did, and more than one bystander said something, and one or two people walked over to express our collective dismay.\nThe guy responded with a string of profanities, most of which I can\u2019t share. The bystanders backed off, slowly, palms forward, muttering some variation of \u201cWhoa, that\u2019s cool, take it easy, dude.\u201d\nWe all felt bad for the dog.\nAnd to this day, I can\u2019t quite figure out why. Was it because the dog did not deserve to be treated so poorly? Was it because we all naturally recoil from suffering, because we can\u2019t stand to see an innocent creature in pain?\nAnd yet we didn\u2019t feel bad for the guy. He was clearly mentally ill \u2014 nobody expects an answer when he asks his dog why \u2014 but we wouldn\u2019t have cared if his dog wasn\u2019t there.\nI know this is a commentary, and I know that us commentators like you to think that we always have a reason why. But this time I don\u2019t. I don\u2019t know why we cared more about the dog than the guy. I don\u2019t know why I\u2019ve forgotten every other homeless person I met last weekend.\nI hope it\u2019s not because I\u2019ve grown numb to a problem that is just too big. I hope it\u2019s not because I\u2019ve given up, paralyzed by the thought of all that suffering and quietly thankful that it doesn\u2019t include me.\nBut I suspect it is.\nTom Moriarty teaches writing at San Jose State University.",

        "raw_content": "Home Celebrity \u201cJack Reacher\u201d Beaten by \u201cParental Guidance\u201d Again, And It\u2019s Easy to See...\n\u201cJack Reacher\u201d Beaten by \u201cParental Guidance\u201d Again, And It\u2019s Easy to See Why\nThe moment finally came last night. While my family was in seeing \u201cParental Guidance,\u201d I sneaked next door and caught \u201cJack Reacher\u201d at last. OMG, as the kids say these days. What was Tom Cruise thinking? \u201cJack Reacher\u201d is losing box office daily to four other movies including the Bette Midler-Billy Crystal-Marisa Tomei flick and I can see why. \u201cReacher\u201d is a befuddlement. It\u2019s not exactly Tom Cruise\u2019s fault, either. He is a fine actor\u2013witness Jerry Maguire, Born on the Fourth of July, Magnolia.\nYou can see him struggling to make \u201cReacher\u201d work. But it can\u2019t. Cruise is completely miscast. He doesn\u2019t get to flash his trademark smile once. \u201cReacher\u201d is all gloom and doom. The character should have been played by Bruce Willis. Or even Denzel Washington. Jack Reacher is described in the books this movie is based on as six foot five. The actor doesn\u2019t have to be that tall precisely, but a large, older sense of resignation is needed. Cruise attempts it, but his physicality does work against him.\n\u201cReacher\u201d is also a stagnant picture, and very talky. After the initial bout of sniper stuff (five people picked off, four of them women), \u201cReacher\u201d has long sections of banter between Cruise and Rosamund Pike. Pike, by the way, must have been made to stand in trenches because she\u2019s two or three inches taller than Cruise yet is often photographed alongside or below him. And you can tell. Anyway, Cruise\u2019s strong suit is not glib give and take, or world weary wisecracking. He\u2019s no Philip Marlowe. These scenes are quite exasperating.\nAlso, I take back the idea that this film costs more than the producers say it did. It looks like it cost 50 cents. Cruise is the most expensive object in it. And the static scenes make the under-lit, under-decorated rooms all the more glaring. Tom Cruise and \u2018sparse\u2019 are not ideas that go together. Without things whizzing past him, and exploding, he seems a little lost.\nThere\u2019s talk that director Christopher McQuarrie is Cruise\u2019s pick for the next Mission Impossible. Hmmm\u2026As a writer maybe, but as a director? I\u2019d rather have Tony Gilroy, who did so well this summer with The Bourne Legacy. Between this and \u201cValkyrie,\u201d McQuarrie is better left to set pieces and small stages.\nPS I came out of \u201cJack Reacher\u201d \u2014 and a quarter filled theater at 5:30pm \u2014 mostly perplexed. The family, however, loved \u201cParental Guidance.\u201d\n\"Les Miserables\" Producer: \"We Didn't Need\" Taylor Swift in Movie\nBox Office: \"The Hobbit\" Hits $200 Mil US, \"Django\" Beats \"Les Miz\" on Friday Night\nJanuary 4, 2013 3:09 pm at 3:09 PM\nI agree, Ryan. I didn\u2019t read the books but my husband did and he said the same thing you did. Tom Cruise just wasn\u2019t a good pick for bringing that character to the big screen. I knew that when people where snickering at the previews; it\u2019s hard to take short little Tom Cruise seriously when he\u2019s trying to be Buster Bad Ass.\nDecember 31, 2012 12:06 am at 12:06 AM\nProbably one of the best reviews I\u2019ve seen so far. People who haven\u2019t read the books don\u2019t realize how much Reacher\u2019s size impacts all of the story lines. In the books, Reacher uses his size to help resolve almost every situation. That\u2019s part of the fun, as he\u2019s such a presence that you feel like he\u2019s a tank going up against squirt guns.\nWhen you remove that aspect from the story, a lot of the scenes come across as very awkward. In the books you have Reacher using his size to help solve the issue, while in the movie the viewer is left with Tom Cruise trying to act big and imposing, and instead just comes across as a watered down Jason Bourne character.\nFor anyone who enjoyed the movie, just think how much better it would have been using an actor with the right physical attributes it was intended for.",

(AP Photo/Ross D. Franklin)\nSAN FRANCISCO (AP) For Trevor Story, just making the All-Star game final vote ballot as a rookie is a remarkable victory, regardless of whether he suits up for the July 12 game at San Diego's Petco Park.\nYet making the team would be all the sweeter for the Colorado shortstop.\n''I'm proud of it,'' Story said Tuesday. ''You grow up dreaming about maybe being an All-Star. I still have a chance. It's very humbling.''\nThe 23-year-old is among 10 players - five from each league - on the final vote list that fans can select from on MLB.com and via the individual team Web sites. One spot on each roster remains to be determined from the final vote, which runs through 4 p.m. EDT Friday.\nStory became the first player to hit two home runs in his major league debut on opening day, a pair of drives off Arizona ace Zack Greinke no less. Story hit six homers in his first four games.\n''It's been very enjoyable,'' Story said of his first half in the big leagues. ''The best time of my life so far. I've had so much fun every single day this season.''\nTeammates and close friends Carlos Gonzalez and Nolan Arenado already are on the NL roster next week, and Story would love to join them.\nHe has an unofficial campaign manager, too.\n''We're talking about a kid who's had one of the greatest first halves we've seen,'' Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. ''His numbers are certainly worthy.''\nStory began Tuesday batting .264 with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs.\nSan Francisco first baseman Brandon Belt also is on the NL list, joined by Milwaukee's Ryan Braun, Arizona's Jake Lamb and Starling Marte of Pittsburgh.\nThe AL list includes Ian Kinsler of Detroit, Tampa Bay's Evan Longoria, Boston's Dustin Pedroia, Michael Saunders of Toronto and Houston's George Springer.\n''You never know what's going to happen,'' Story said of the vote. ''I'm too worried about playing baseball. ... I know I'm in good hands. We'll let them take a swing at it.''",

        "title": "Jewish Parenting - Judaism and Raising Kids - How to Raise Children / Lawrence Kelemen",
        "raw_content": "The Good Parent\nIf we want to raise ethical children, we have no choice but to work on developing our character.\nWhen asked about the greatest challenge he faces today, the principal of one of the largest Jewish high schools in the United States related to me this complaint:\nParents spend thousands of dollars a year in tuition to send their children to our school where, along with calculus and chemistry, we are expected to teach some semblance of ethics. Then, on Sunday, the parents take their child to an amusement park and lie about his age in order to save five dollars on the admission fee. To save five bucks they destroy a $15,000 education.\nOur best day school and high school principals have included separate ethics courses in their school curricula. A handful of these educational experts have gone even further, weaving an ethics perspective into every aspect of their schools\u2019 educational program. All of these curricular and extra-curricular programs constitute heroic attempts to provide our children with the highest quality Jewish education. It is hard to imagine what more the brave pioneers of these programs can do to improve our children\u2019s character.\nThere is another step we could take, and that step might do more to improve our children\u2019s ethics than any of the commendable efforts described above. We parents and teachers could also engage in the sort of structured and guided work on character development we are so proud to see our children do. We could create \u201cmussar vaadim\u201d (ongoing character-development workshops) for interested parents and teachers. Participants in these programs would actively work on their character so as to be more thoroughly refined models for their students.\nOur tradition tells us that we parents and teachers can be powerful role models. The rabbis of the Talmud long ago explained, for example, that a child speaks in the marketplace the way he heard his parents speaking at home. [1] Psychologists also remind us that the model we parents present influences even our youngest children.\nConsider this report from the Journal of the American Medical Association:\nNeonates are born with an instinctive capacity and desire to imitate adult human behavior. That infants can, and do, imitate an array of adult facial expressions has been demonstrated in neonates as young as a few hours old, i.e., before they are even old enough to know cognitively that they themselves have facial features that correspond with those they are observing. It is a most useful instinct, for the developing child must learn and master a vast repertoire of behavior in short order.[2]\nThe JAMA report also warns about the downside of pediatric modeling: Whereas infants have an instinctive desire to imitate observed human behavior, they do not possess an instinct for gauging a priori whether a behavior ought to be imitated. They will imitate almost anything, including behaviors that most adults would regard as destructive and antisocial.[3]\nU.S. studies indicate that the probability of a child\u2019s smoking doubles if one parent smokes and quadruples if both parents smoke.[4] Data from the Norwegian National Health Survey demonstrate that the probability of a young adult\u2019s having a diet low in fat is five times higher if one of his parents had a low fat intake. Similar associations exist for alcohol consumption, wearing seatbelts and doing exercise, [5] and we have no reason to believe parental example does not powerfully influence all behaviors.\nIf we respond to disobedience harshly, our children and students will likely do the same. If we are dishonest or steal, the odds are that our children will internalize these behaviors too. Whether or not we intend to do so, through example we plant our own behavior in our children. Unless they make heroic efforts to uproot these seeds later in life, our children will grow up to be very much like us.\nOf course, we parents can also be the most powerful positive role models in our children\u2019s lives. A mother whose child attends a yeshiva high school told me this story:\nShe went to the market with her children. When she was checking out, the clerk failed to properly credit her for a promotional item. After unsuccessfully trying to rectify the matter with the checkout clerk, the woman approached the store manager and explained the mistake. The manager was busy, not terribly interested in the woman\u2019s complaint, and initially uncooperative. However, eventually the manager reached into his cash drawer and handed her two dollars compensation. On their way home, the woman realized that the manager had given her too much money. She was already late, however, and could not return to the market.\nThat night, however, the woman could not sleep. She kept thinking about the money in her wallet that did not belong to her. In the morning, she rushed the children to get ready for school early, left with them ahead of schedule, and drove straight to the market. There, in front of her children, she explained to the manager the mistake he had made the previous day. The manager was not interested in the story but took the overpayment and returned it to the register drawer.\nMonths later, the woman\u2019s son took a difficult test at school. Most students did poorly on the test, but her child received a mark of \u201cA+\u201d. Indeed, in front of the class the teacher praised the boy for his perfect performance. Then, because so many students had received low grades, the teacher decided to review the correct answers aloud with the class. During the review, the boy realized that he had actually made a mistake on the exam but the teacher had failed to see it. Throughout the review the boy struggled with his desire for the \u201cA+\u201d. Ultimately his conscience triumphed. After class he approached the teacher and pointed out the grading error.\nAt home later that day, the boy told his mother the story. She praised him for his willingness to sacrifice his \u201cA+\u201d on the altar of honesty. Her son explained that a battle had raged inside of him while he listened to the review. But then he remembered his distraught mother trying to give some cash back to a market manager. The boy told his mother that in that moment his internal battle ended and he realized what he was going to do. (As a pleasant postscript to the story: The teacher was so impressed with the boy\u2019s honesty, she rewarded him by giving him the \u201cA+\u201d despite the mistake.)\nWe all know of children who have been scarred by parents and teachers who respond with anger, use vicious language, or display selfishness, dishonesty, or other less-than-refined traits. Sometimes they drop their religiosity. Sometimes they just mirror the harshness they experienced at home or in the classroom. I meet such children every week. They are living testimony to the necessity of a formal framework for adult character development.\nMost parents and teachers realize that values and perspectives must be planted by personal example. However, in practice we sometimes try to build into our children and students behavioral routines that we personally have not yet mastered. We insist that our children get proper sleep, even though we scrape by on far less than we need. We insist that they eat properly, even though we survive on coffee and donuts. We insist that they control their anger, even though we sometimes show rage. In short, we find it easier to work on our children than on ourselves, and so that is sometimes what we do.\nThis hypocrisy has disastrous results: Too many children legitimately view their parents and/or teachers as insincere. Disrespect burgeons slowly until, around ages 12-15, it shreds the parent-child or teacher-student relationship. Then children reject the moral authority of the adults in their lives. They isolate themselves emotionally from parents and teachers, and begin making their own (often self-destructive) decisions.\nOr sometimes these children thoroughly accept the lessons of their childhood. They might behave beautifully and do well in school, but they also absorb their mentors\u2019 inconsistency. By their late teens or early twenties, these children have mastered the art of hypocrisy, and much of their behavior has absolutely nothing to do with their stated values. These are the university-age students who claim they want a better world and yet purchase term papers off the Internet. Even if we never cheated in school, if we acted with hypocrisy in other areas of our lives, our children will absorb that lesson and practice it wholesale.\nEventually, the real values and perspectives we parents and teachers planted through our own behavior (for better or worse) show themselves. If we want to raise children who will grow into good adults, we must plant the seeds of goodness with our own sterling conduct.\nBeing a model is not easy. Our children see us at all hours of the day under all circumstances, making it impossible to maintain a facade of ethical refinement. If we have a temper or other negative traits, they will see these. Moreover, as we struggle to behave appropriately at all times, we discover that good intentions alone do not produce good behavior. Sometimes, even when we do not want to get angry, we find ourselves slipping out of control. We have no choice but to work on ourselves. We must set aside time to develop our character, especially our patience.\nThe traditional framework for working on character is the vaad\u2014a group of five to 15 people, led by a Torah scholar experienced in vaad work. This traditional approach is complex, long-term, often counterintuitive, and highly effective. Here in Jerusalem there are over 120 English-speaking mothers and fathers participating in vaads, ongoing character-development workshops. Most have been members of their vaad for more than four years, and many have participated for over seven years. They meet every 2-6 weeks to learn about the particular character trait they are working on, receive practical exercises and readings that will help internalize the character trait, and discuss their successes and failures.\nI saw members of one vaad work on themselves until anger became an extremely rare and muted event. I saw members of another vaad develop so much integrity that members never broke their word, even when the commitment was as small as \u201cI\u2019ll be off the phone in a minute.\u201d These are great achievements, and they have exerted profound influence on the vaad members\u2019 children (some of whom are in their late teens and early twenties and have joined vaads themselves).\nJewish education has come a long way in the last 50 years, and the Jewish day school movement has consistently been on the cutting edge of this progress. Perhaps the time has come to redefine the state-of-the-art in Jewish education, and perhaps innovative day school administrators, teachers, and parents will once again lead the way.\nWhen our forefather Abraham sent his servant Eliezer off to find a wife for his son, Isaac, Abraham asked Eliezer to swear that he wouldn\u2019t bring home a woman from the local Canaanites\u2014known for being murderers and thieves. Rather, Eliezer was told to select a woman from Abraham\u2019s homeland\u2014even though those women were known for being idol worshippers.\nThe author of the Torah commentary Kli Yakar [6] asks why Abraham preferred an idol worshipper over a murderer or thief. He answers that although we parents attempt to pass two inheritances to the next generation\u2014our character traits and our beliefs\u2014only our character traits pass instantly and without modification into our children. Our beliefs hover in spiritual no-man\u2019s-land until our children choose to accept them or reject them.\nAbraham understood that murder and theft result from corrupt character. He reasoned that a woman from a family with corrupt traits would necessarily pass those traits on to her children, and the Jewish People would need to make a massive effort in later generations to clean out this character-contamination.\nIdol worship, in contrast, results from mistaken beliefs. Unlike the inheritance of character traits, parental beliefs don\u2019t necessarily penetrate too deeply and their superficial influence could be corrected quickly. As long as the character traits of Isaac\u2019s future wife were in order, a few introduction-to-Judaism classes could straighten out her beliefs, and her descendents then would be refined, faithful members of the Jewish nation.\nJewish day school administrators, teachers, and parents now have an extraordinary opportunity to guarantee the inheritance of our children. The character-development vaad has proven popular here in Jerusalem. Without doubt, it would be at least as popular in other cities across the world.

        "title": "Will We Ever See a Tom Cruise Superhero Movie?",
        "raw_content": "Tom Cruise Could Have Played Iron Man, But He\u2019s Not Interested in Playing a Superhero\nPosted on Wednesday, October 19th, 2016 by Jacob Hall\nBefore it arrived in 2008 to massive box office and reshaped the blockbuster landscape in ways that we\u2019re still figuring out, Iron Man endured nearly two decades of development hell. Universal initially acquired the film rights to the character in 1990, but the film failed to find footing for years, with directors, writers, and actors cycling through the project every few years. Directors who were reportedly offered the helm at one point or another include Stuart Gordon, Quentin Tarantino, Joss Whedon, and Nick Cassavetes. It wasn\u2019t until 2005 that Marvel got the rights back. They hired Jon Favreau in 2006 and the rest is history.\nSo when we talk about the fact that Tom Cruise toyed with the idea of playing Tony Stark in an Iron Man movie, it\u2019s important to remember that this chatter happened at a time when everyone was seemingly attached to an Iron Man movie. But it makes for good trivia and, more importantly, it makes for a good introduction to a news story about whether or not Cruise has any interest in playing superheroes these days.\nJust for the record, Cruise considered taking on Iron Man in 1998, one year after Nicolas Cage also expressed interest and ten years before the character made Robert Downey Jr. a star.\nCruise was a recent guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live and while he was there to promote Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, he found himself answering the question that every celebrity gets asked in every single interview: would you play a superhero? Specifically, Kimmel asks Cruise if he\u2019s been approached by Marvel or DC to play a character and Cruise does one those patented Movie Star Question Dodges:\nThe implication here is that Cruise is perfectly happy starring in Mission: Impossible and Jack Reacher movies for the time being, thank you very much. And I\u2019ll go ahead and say it because I don\u2019t think Cruise would say it \u2013 Tom Cruise already plays a superhero. He plays Tom Cruise. I mean, have you seen the past few Mission: Impossible movies? You know, the movies where he climbs the world\u2019s tallest buildings and holds his breath underwater for dizzying amounts of time and generally puts himself in danger for the sake of thrilling an audience? Look, I love superhero movies, but Cruise has gotta\u2019 Cruise, which means bringing his particular flavor of movie stardom to excellent action movies like the first Jack Reacher. He doesn\u2019t need to play a superhero because he\u2019s already playing them, just without the colorful costume.\nPlus, superhero movies don\u2019t need Tom Cruise. These movies tend to function better when they elevate an interesting actor to stardom (Christian Bale, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Margot Robbie, Henry Cavill) rather than build a character around a star. Will Smith\u2019s presence in Suicide Squad appears to be the exception there.\nJack Reacher: Never Go Back opens this Friday.\nAction/Adventure, Comic Book/Superhero, Paramount Pictures, Iron-Man, Tom-Cruise",

        "title": "Review: Portlandia: Season Five \u2013 SLUG Magazine",
        "raw_content": "Posted September 13, 2015 in DVD Reviews\nTags: Carrie Brownstein, Fred Armisen, IFC, Portlandia\nPortlandia: Season Five\nIFC and Video Service Corp\nFans of Portlandia rejoice! The latest season of the hilarious, Lorne Michaels\u2013produced sketch show has a little (or a lot) of something for everyone to get excited about. These half-hour, PG-13 friendly episodes feature SNL\u2019s Fred Armisen and the wonderfully talented Carrie Brownstein. Season 5 is packed full of guest stars, clever insights, and hilarity. If you\u2019re new to Portlandia, just sit back for the ride. Armisen and Brownstein play multiple characters in this episodic sketch show. Some episodes contain one full story, others interweave multiple stories. The two main players will often switch genders and play up stereotypes with amazing results. This is the thinking person\u2019s sketch show\u2013the elements of SNL are present but minus the silly celebrity impersonations.\nSome of the impressive characters that Armisen and Brownstein have come up with are not only unique, but super entertaining. The season starts with the origin story of two of their recurring characters, Toni and Candace, a pair of feminist bookstore owners. These two ball-busting working girls started out in the book industry in the \u201980s. Pit against each other to accept a job after a merger, and competing for the attention of a womanizing boss, it\u2019s like Working Girl on a glamour decade coke binge, and it\u2019s wonderful. The satire is strong with this one, and the episode reminds us of a (probably fictionalized) time where women were novelties in business and slept their way to the top. Not that it\u2019s a spoiler, but the two women end up working together to stick it to \u201980s misogyny. That\u2019s not the last we see of these two characters, and when we meet them again, we are treated to a lot of really well timed Armisen man-nipple. Most sketch characters in drag are funny just for the fact they are painfully awkward in women\u2019s clothing. It\u2019s an understatement that Armisen really commits. In fact, in nearly every episode not only Armisen but also Brownstein can be seen in gender-bending roles.\nThis latest season pulls out all the stops as far as guest stars go. The roster of guests is a long list of people you\u2019d want to be friends with\u2014friends that will play a small role in a five-minute sketch. A few of them are in blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it roles, but watch for Justin Long in a May/December romance, Ed Begley Jr., Brigitte Nielsen skydiving, Natasha Lyonne selling marine mammal experiences, and Jeff Goldblum trying to hock time shares while on a date with Olivia Wilde. I squee\u2019d in delight when Shepard Fairey showed up in a commercial for an indie-cool art supply store. The ever-funny Jane Lynch helps plan a \u2018shitty punk\u2019 barbecue for some yuppies, Parker Posey is very Parker Posey\u2013esque in a \u201970s disco afro, comedian Kumail Nanjiani shows up, and Matt Groening from The Simpsons plays himself in an epic showdown of the battle of the Barts (with an uncredited cameo from the voice of Bart herself, Nancy Cartwright). Stick around to the end and you\u2019ll see Steve Buscemi, Breaking Bad\u2019s Anna Gunn, both Paul Simon and Paul Reubens, and another SNL alum, Seth Meyers.\nBefore I was able to get my hands on the DVD set, I had seen various shorter sketches pop up on the show\u2019s YouTube channel. The longer versions on the DVD of these little gems are totally worth watching the show in its entirety. For example, the goth couple planning their living wills was one of my favorite sketches I\u2019d seen on the show, and that\u2019s what got me into Portlandia to start with. The full length version takes on the YouTube clip for few minutes longer, giving it a better ending and a more realized concept. This show takes on hipsters, pop culture, counter culture and the ridiculous American middle class. We\u2019re all up for ridicule, and we\u2019re all in Portlandia. Whether you\u2019re a fan of this show or not, you will be by the end of the two disc set, and you\u2019ll want to own it so you can watch it over and over again.",

        "raw_content": "Wrong title! Italians order LC23 landing craft!\nItalian shipbuilder Cantiere Navale Vittoria is building four new LC23-class mechanised landing craft (LCMs) for the Italian Navy.\nThe four craft, designed to equip the service\u2019s new landing helicopter dock (LHD), are being built under a contract awarded by Fincantieri in the first quarter of 2017. The new LHD is scheduled to enter service in 2022.\nConstruction on the first LC23 has already begun at Cantiere Navale Vittoria\u2019s yard in Adria, near Rovigo. Under current planning the first landing craft utility (LCU) will be delivered in the second half of 2018, with all four units to be completed by 2021.\nWith an overall length of 23.8 m and a beam of 6.6 m, the roll-on/roll-off LC23 is capable of transporting a maximum load of 65 tonnes (one Italian Army Ariete main battle tank [MBT]) at a top speed of 13.5 kt. Alternatively, it can transport a maximum of five Lince light multirole vehicles or 300 soldiers.\nThe LC23 LCM will be capable of reaching top speeds of 22 kt (at light displacement) or 16 kt (with a 30-tonne load). It has a 200 n mile range at 14 kt. As an alternative to one Ariete MBT, the new craft will be capable of transporting two AAV-7 assault amphibious vehicles or two M109A2 self-propelled howitzers, one Centauro armoured vehicle or one Freccia armoured infantry fighting vehicle.\nMaximum displacement is 155 tonnes (including a maximum 65-tonne payload).\nThe LC23 features a steel hull and aluminium steering station superstructures with ballistic protection. It is equipped with a stern gate for loading and unloading vehicles onto landing craft within the well dock (up to a maximum limit of 30 tonnes for the transfer of vehicles in this configuration).\nBased on requirements set by the Italian Navy for LHD well-deck operation limits, Cantiere Navale Vittoria\u2019s LCM design features a propulsion system based on two 1213 kW rated MAN D2862 LE 453 diesel engines each connected through ZF3055 transmissions to fixed pitch propellers.\nNothing really interesting here except....the Brits are cutting their amphibious forces while the Italians, Spaniards and Greeks have been able to maintain their forces under intense economic strain.\nAt this time we see the Turks, Japanese, S. Koreans and even Brazilians (thru the purchase of Brit LHDs) build up and expand their forces.\nHow are those nations able to maintain and/our expand their amphibious forces while the Brits are forced to savagely cut what was once a wonderful and world leading capability?",

        "raw_content": "Harnessing globalisation: 10 overarching S&D priorities\nDefinitions of what Globalisation is vary immensely. Nevertheless, no matter how we define it, we must all acknowledge that Globalisation is now not only a process; it is a fact of life for citizens, workers, companies and countries alike. Drivers of globalisation such as enhanced trade, investment and disruptive technological change is impacting all parts of our lives and people all over the globe. Since all are impacted by it; all must come to benefit from it. That is the task we set for Europe in Harnessing Globalisation.\nThe transformative effects of Globalisation has already been felt in many areas, leading to technological revolutions in transport, digitization etc. In taking the lead on managing Globalisation, we must ensure that European regulations, values, standards and principles shape Globalisation, not vice versa. We will not allow workers and citizens, both within and outside of the EU, to be left behind or to become victims of Globalisation.\nFor far too many Europeans, Globalisation seems to be primarily defined as that which impacts, shapes and to some extent controls their lives, jobs, futures and opportunities, but on which they feel they have little to no influence. This has led to a growing sense of anguish among many European citizens regarding the process of globalisation. To ignore this sentiment which raises issues that we should all be concerned about would be a grave mistake. Our task in Europe is to demonstrate that we can build a better future for all. That prosperity can once again be achieved, sustained and fairly shared. That by harnessing globalisation we can reap the benefits of closer links between countries, continents and peoples, whilst shielding citizens and their jobs and security from the negative aspects of globalisation.\nIt is said that all politics are local. This also holds true for Globalisation. As we act on the European and global stage, we must always be mindful of how developments will impact local societies at home and abroad. We must ensure that welfare states, social cohesion, equality, security and democratic societies are strengthened.\nAlthough globalisation has undoubtedly contributed to wealth creation across the globe and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, the benefits of Globalisation have so far been inequitably shared. This has given rise to inequality, particularly due to changes in employment conditions and uneven distribution of wealth and income, less progressive taxation, harmful tax competition, tax evasion and avoidance.\nAs a union, we have the strongest preconditions for succeeding in a globalised world. Our cooperation is built upon the importance of our pluralistic and democratic values. Principles on which we have built non-discriminatory, tolerant and just societies, where solidarity and equality between women and men is wholeheartedly embraced. Where our fundamental values of human dignity, liberty, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights are not only upheld but also enshrined in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Therefore, we insist that Globalisation must also mean the global protection and advancement of gender equality, respect for and protection of minorities.\nWe must also recognize that mismanaged Globalisation is in itself a driver of unmanaged, chaotic migration which has driven countless people into displacement, forced migration and life-threatening journeys. From climate change to armed conflicts, ethnic tensions and abject poverty, the root causes are many and varied.\nOnly by seeing the larger picture, can we hope to effectively help and prevent such human tragedy. Migration in itself is, of course, a historic constant. It is a fact of human life. In a globalised world, we must ensure, that migration is managed in a legal, organised and constructive manner that benefits both those who migrate, the countries that receive them, and the countries of origin.\nAs a global phenomenon, we need a global answer to the challenges of migration. The international community must urgently undertake a common response to address the challenges and opportunities that migration represents. This response must be founded on the principle of solidarity and shared responsibility and not be focused single-handedly on a security-based approach, but be guided by the full protection of the rights and dignity of everyone forced to leave their homes. Failure to live up to our principles and fundamental values, when it comes to migration and foreign policy, would severely undermine the EU\u2019s credibility and capacity to influence developments internationally.\nIn a globalised world, we should demonstrate to citizens that the diversity of cultural patterns is a wealth, a strength instead of a factor of division. Our main responses to populism, radicalisation, and xenophobia remain notably education, intercultural dialogue, integration, access to culture and strong welfare states.\nThe European Union remains the preeminent example of how peoples and countries can come together to build consensus, act in unison and settle differences in an open and democratic manner based on the rule of law. This makes our union a model for inspiration in building and enforcing rules-based international order.\nShaping Globalisation, also requires the European Union to be a strong and constructive participant in all relevant international forums, including but not limited to, the Global Deal initiative launched by the Swedish Prime Minister.\nIf you do not know where you are going, all paths appear equally good. With these political demands, we state clearly, which path we want the European Union to take in our journey towards managing globalisation, and we insist on arriving there together.\nHarnessing Globalisation_final_en_170426.pdf",

        "raw_content": "Glass \u2018Now More Appealing For Sustainable Buildings\u2019\nGlass is an increasingly attractive option in sustainable property design thanks to recent advances in manufacturing, according to a prominent Australian glass supplier.\nWriting recently on the GlassTalks.com website, Australia\u2019s largest glass supplier and only manufacturer Viridian commented that the relationship between glass and energy efficiency has changed for the better as a result of recent manufacturing developments.\nIn the past, glass has been known for its high transfer coefficient, which allows heat to escape easily through the material. This has meant that until recently, glass was not readily associated with energy efficiency.\nHowever, as modern technology has improved the material\u2019s thermal performance, glass now plays a pivotal role in the demand for energy-efficient buildings.\nDevelopments such as double glazing, lamination and special coatings have helped make glass more appealing in terms of sustainable design options, Viridian asserts.\n\u201cDesigns can now incorporate glass more without having to compromise on energy efficiency, which is a big win for consumers and builders alike,\u201d the firm said.\nGlass provides a variety of advantages over other materials, maximising light exposure, allowing for temperature control and establishing a connection with the outside world for the \u201cperfect marriage of design and performance\u201d, the firm states.\nIt is possible to further enhance a building\u2019s energy saving properties with specialist window film \u2013 energy saving window film is designed to minimise heat loss through glass, keeping homes and offices warm without needing to increase the thermostat.\nFor a building that gets too warm, meanwhile, heat reduction window film can help reduce a buildup of heat in a property.",

        "raw_content": "Death Threats - 1 Corinthians 15:12-14, 30-33\nHave you felt like your life was in danger? Now I do not mean the jumpy feeling you might get after watching a scary movie and after watching it everything seems to go bump in the night. No. I mean your LIFE. I am not even talking about the hopelessness you might feel after being insulted or criticized for having big dreams. No. I mean your LIFE. I am not talking about the feeling you might have after everything has gone wrong one day but then at the end of that same day you still look forward to tomorrow. No. I mean your LIFE. Have you ever felt like your life was in danger?\nI have watched a lot of Lifetime movies and I have seen characters being threatened and stalked and even killed. At the end of the movie, I am clear that they are actors and actresses and they played the role that they were paid to play as the victim. I am clear that when that role was finished, they walked off the set. And while I may not know where they are right now, I have seen many of them playing other roles so I know the movie I saw them die in, did not really kill them. They went on to act in other television dramas and/or movies and so do we. And though we may not be on the big screen, we do go on.\nThis is our greatest hope. This is why we continue to look forward to another day. This is why we can deal with the horrific happenings of yesterday and even today. This is why we continue to make plans and dream and imagine something better. Because deep, sometimes way deep down inside, we know that there is always tomorrow. And tomorrow, everything will work out. Tomorrow, the sun will shine again and we will hear the birds chirping in the trees and we will feel gentle breezes. Tomorrow, we will make things right and the fights of yesterday will be a memory of what once was but tomorrow brings the hope that we can be different. Tomorrow we can be better. Tomorrow we can go on.\nIn this passage, Paul is clear that his life is being threatened because he is preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is preaching about His life, His death, His burial, and His resurrection. And Paul is so clear that the Gospel is nothing without the resurrection. The resurrection of Jesus Christ makes all of the difference. For you see, Jesus was not the first and Jesus was not the only person to die on a cross at Calvary. BUT Jesus is the ONLY one who rose from the dead! And Paul\u2019s very life is being threatened by those who insist that his testimony is a fairytale, make believe, a falsehood, a lie. His life is in danger and he is not acting out some role he got paid to play!\nI like the way the Message Bible phrases his words:\nAnd why do you think I keep risking my neck in this dangerous work? I look death in the face practically every day I live. Do you think I'd do this if I wasn't convinced of your resurrection and mine as guaranteed by the resurrected Messiah Jesus? Do you think I was just trying to act heroic when I fought the wild beasts at Ephesus, hoping it wouldn't be the end of me? Not on your life! It's resurrection, resurrection, always resurrection, that undergirds what I do and say, the way I live. If there's no resurrection, \"We eat, we drink, the next day we die,\" and that's all there is to it. But don't fool yourselves. Don't let yourselves be poisoned by this anti-resurrection loose talk.\n\"Bad company ruins good manners.\"\nBlogFam, most of us have never experienced a true death threat. We know that the enemy is busy seeking to steal, to kill, and to destroy us but how many of you have ever had your life threatened because you believed in Jesus Christ and because you boldly confessed that you believed He lived, He died, He was buried, and He did rise again! There are Christians all over the world whose lives are threatened every day because they are witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Please be clear that the freedom some of us experience to worship the Lord is not the way it is all over this world. There are Christians who are living this text in the 21st century and we must continue to pray for our brothers and sisters all over the world. At the same time, I wonder.\nI wonder if your witness is strong enough to warrant a death threat. I wonder if all that you do and all that you say would be seen more as a role in a television drama or a short film and when you walked off the set of your local church sanctuary, no one would think twice about your influence on the Kingdom because you play your role so well. I wonder. I wonder would you even be willing to sing, preach, pray, worship the Lord Jesus Christ if your life was in danger of imminent death or would you deny Christ for the sake of convenience and then turnaround and expect forgiveness later? BlogFam, I wonder. Can you honestly say like Paul that you would be willing to risk your neck for this dangerous work?\nDeath threats are nothing to play with and the funeral homes and cemeteries that we see around our cities are evidence that death is real. However, ONLY because of Christ can we look forward to the resurrection of tomorrow and the resurrection in life after death when we will rest in Him forever. My sistas and brothas, if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.\nFriends, BE ENCOURAGED! Our FAITH is not in vain. Our faith is NOT in vain. Our FAITH is NOT in Vain! And whatever threats you may receive that try to come against your dreams, your promises, your hope, or your life and kill your thoughts about tomorrow, I pray that you would remember Paul\u2019s witness and truly embrace Christ\u2019s resurrection power. I pray that you would KNOW that you KNOW that you KNOW that you KNOW that His resurrection power is able to make every death threat against you null and void because even at the end of this life, we shall rise again! And I pray that you would rest, assured by the Word of God - For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [Romans 8:18] HALLELUJAH! And to God be ALL the Glory!\nThe African race is a rubber ball. The harder you dash it to the ground, the higher it will rise. ~African Proverb\n0 Comments to Death Threats - 1 Corinthians 15:12-14, 30-33:",

        "raw_content": "Clubs: AC Milan and FC Internazionale | Opening: 1926 | Capacity: 80,018 seats\n(photos of the present San Siro below)\nHow to get to San Siro\nSan Siro is located in the west of Milan at approximately 5 kilometres from Milan\u2019s city centre and more than 7 kilometres from Milan\u2019s central railway station.\nIf arriving by car from the direction of Turin (A4), Genova (A7), or Bologna (Autostrada del Sole), make your way to the western ring road (Tangenziale Ovest) and take exit 3 to the Via Novara. Signs will direct you from the motorway to the stadium.\nIf coming from the direction of Venezia, take the exit towards the Viale Certosa. After the exit signs will guide you to the stadium.\nSan Siro is easily reached by metro due to the recently opened new purple M5 metro line. The nearest stations are San Siro Ippodromo and San Siro Stadio, both a short walk from the stadium. Line M5 passes north of Milan\u2019s city centre past Garibaldi station and from most central places a change will be required either at Lotto (red M1 line) or Garibaldi station (green M2 line). It takes a little under 20 minutes to get from Piazza Duomo to the stadium.\nAlternatively, the stadium can be reached with tram 16. Take the tram in the centre of Milan (west of Piazza Duomo) to San Siro Stadio, the last stop on the line. The journey takes about half an hour.\nAddress: Via dei Piccolomini 5, 20151 Milano\nEat, drink and sleep near San Siro\nSan Siro is located in a rather quiet residential area, which did not use to offer much in terms of entertainment, but has recently seen a few more bars and restaurants pop up. Still, as the stadium is easy to reach by metro, it makes more sense to eat and drink in the centre or in one of Milan\u2019s other livelier areas, and head to the stadium just for the match. Of course, there are plenty of food stalls around on the day of the match for a quick panino.\nIf you prefer to stay the night close to San Siro and are on a budget, then the recently opened B&B Hotel Milan San Siro will be an excellent pick. It is located right next to the stadium. MI. Style is another budget alternative right near the stadium.\nThere is more choice near Lotto metro station, less than a 20-minute walk from the stadium, including some that offer a little more luxury. Hotel M\u00e9lia Milano gets the best reviews, while Hotel Montebianco, Best Western Hotel Astoria, Hotel Nuovo Murillo, and Hotel Amendola Fiera are good options that are a little more affordable. Click here for all hotels near San Siro, and here for further options in central Milan.\nTickets for AC Milan games can be bought online through the Milan official website, at the branches of the Banca Popolare di Milano bank, at any of the TicketOne sales outlets, or at the Casa Milan ticket office at the Via Aldo Rossi 8 in the north of the city (closest metro QT8).\nTickets are also available at the stadium before the start of the match. Milan tend to only sell out the home matches versus Inter and Juventus. An ID is required in order to buy tickets.\nTickets come in three prices categories. Ticket prices for the cheapest C category start at \u20ac20.00 for a seat at the second tier behind the goal, range to \u20ac40.00 for the cheapest lower-tier seats at the sides, and range further to \u20ac140.00 for a central lower-tier seat at the main stand. Prices for the most expensive Category A games range from \u20ac30.00 to \u20ac250.00.\nTickets for the third tier only go on sale if the rest are sold out. You can find a seating map here.\nTickets for Inter matches can be bought online through the official website or Vivaticket, in person at any of the Vivaticket sales points, of which there are multiple in the centre around Piazza Duomo, at the San Siro ticket office, or at the Inter Store (opened Thursdays to Saturdays) at the Galleria Passarella 2 in Milan\u2019s city centre.\nTickets are also available at the stadium on the day of the match. Just like Milan, Inter only tend to sell out the derby and the match against Juventus, and an ID is always required to buy tickets.\nRegular ticket prices start at \u20ac30.00 for a second-tier seat behind the goal, range to \u20ac40.00 for a second-tier seat at one of the sides, and further up to \u20ac 150.00 for central lower-tier seat at the main stand.\nPrices are gradually increased for a number of high-profile matches resulting in prices ranging from \u20ac65.00 to \u20ac275.00 for the Milan derby. Tickets may be somewhat more expensive if bought on the day at the stadium.\nSan Siro stadium tours\nSan Siro houses the combined Milan and Inter museum. It also offers guided stadium tours that include access to the dressing rooms, hospitality areas, and press room. The tours last 30 to 40 minutes.\nThe museum opens seven days a week from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. Tours leave regularly within these hours. There are no or only a few tours on matchdays and different opening times can apply for the museum.\nBookings are not required, but can be made online through Vivaticket. The tour + museum costs \u20ac17.00, or \u20ac7.00 for access to the museum only.\nFor more information call +39 02 4042432 or email tour@milanosansiro.com.\nPhotos of San Siro\nACMilan.com \u2013 Official website of AC Milan.\nInter.it \u2013 Official website of FC Internazionale.\nSanSiro.net \u2013 Official website of Stadio San Siro.\nTurismo.milano.it \u2013 Tourism portal of the city of Milan.\nATM.it \u2013 Public transport information for the city of Milan.\nGhousia Wajid says:\nWe are US residents, recently made a trip to Milan last week and had a very bad experience\u2026 my 15 year old son is a Soccer fan and wanted to really see the San Siro stadium. we were enroute to Switzerland and decided to stop by and show him the stadium. Very sad to say that just to get into the stadium to take few pics with one of your employee, I was told to pay 16$ for my son and also ticket for me, since I had to go with him. I actually paid for him and then ask for refund after I was told to pay for me.\nEven after talking to 4 individuals nothing happened, very disappointed that my son had to return back home with no pictures, he is fan of your team and the stadium, can answer any question you ask him about your team.\nGhousia Wajid\nDiscoverer says:\nWas fantastic experiment to visit the huge Stadium and see AC Milan live\nIt is a-must-see stadium for every fan of football. Despite its age it is very nice. A walk from the metro takes a short while. Because the stadium is used by two teams you can see the visible signs of tear and wear. The area is very quiet and i would recommend it to everybody.",

        "raw_content": "What aspects of digital marketing can you do on your own?\nAs the digital world grows, more and more marketing techniques appear. New social media sites appear and more search engine optimisation strategies present themselves. It\u2019s clear that companies need to approach digital marketing in a much more serious fashion than they needed to a few years ago. But what if you just don\u2019t have the budget to hire an agency?\nIf you invest in a great agency from the beginning, it is obvious that you\u2019re going to get better results. But if you\u2019re just starting to dabble in the murky marketing waters, you could consider doing some marketing on your own.\nIf you\u2019re a small business, social media might be the first thing to attempt on your own. You'll probably use it on a personal basis anyway, so you\u2019ll be familiar with most of the tools on there. Posting statuses and uploading photos won't seem too challenging.\nYou\u2019ll maybe only want to invest in an agency when you garner a significant following or when you run out of time to manage your posts. Once you have an agency, you might even want to start social media competitions. Or you might want to have a look into the paid advertising aspect of spreading your messages to the world.\nThis is another marketing strategy that you might be able to handle on your own in the beginning. If you\u2019re unfamiliar, content marketing is the production of things like useful guides and blog posts. These help bring traffic to your website.\nJust think of it as if you were writing an article for English GSCE back in the day. You\u2019ll be familiar with some of the basics so having it a go on your own won\u2019t be too hard. We have previously written a guide with tips for starting your first piece of content so feel free to take a look at that for help.\nAn agency might come in handy when you want to start thinking about search engine optimisation. They will be specialists in identifying how to make sure your blog posts appear in search results. An agency may also be useful once you want to start creating video content or podcasts.\nEmail is yet another tool that you will be familiar with. If you want to start sending out newsletters to your small list of customers, you will know how to compose a message and send it. But once your customer list grows and grows, you might need an agency to help control the strategy involved. An agency who also offers web design should be able to help you design a professional looking branded template for your e-newsletters.\nYou will most likely want to hire a marketing agency to manage your Google AdWords, simply because it usually needs a lot of experimentation and careful monitoring to get the best results. But there is a reason why we included this on the list. Google provide plenty of useful documentation and guides to help any beginners. So if you did want to look into pay-per-click advertising, this is something you could have a go at. Then, if you decided that you need a specialist or if you became too busy, you could contact an agency.\nThink of the long term \u2026\nIn the long run, an agency is definitely the way to go in in our opinion. Or at the very least, you should having a digital marketing strategist on your team, especially as your business grows. But it would be ridiculous to claim that you can\u2019t post a Facebook status or write a helpful guide without outside help. Of course there are things you can do on your own. The important thing is that you determine your ideal customer and then think about the kind of information and advice that they would expect from your business.\nIf you have tried digital marketing already and are thinking about hiring a marketing agency, then contact us. We would be happy to let you know more about how we approach marketing and what strategies we put in place for ourselves and our clients.

She has achieved and maintained a two stone weight loss.\nShe said: \u201cI\u2019ve had health issues and piled on the weight when I had breast cancer in 2006.

Our lifestyle coach Meadhbh spoke to us, not at us and I found it really helpful.\n\u201cFor example, I used to pick \u2018non fat\u2019 foods but didn\u2019t look at sugar levels or other ingredients. We were re-educated about simple changes that can transform your life.\n\u201cThe other great thing is that you are surrounded with people who are in the same boat but just need the motivation. It\u2019s good to know you are not alone and that we can make long-term changes \u2013 this really does work!\n\u201cYou do have slip ups \u2013 you wouldn\u2019t be human if you didn\u2019t \u2013 but I feel so much better, both physically and mentally \u2013 people notice that I\u2019ve lost weight and pass me a compliment which really boosts my self-esteem.\n\u201cI\u2019d encourage other people to get involved. Look at me, I\u2019m 72, if I can do it so can you!\u201d\nMeadhbh Westwood, Lifestyle Coach at ABL Health, said: \u201cBeryl is a great ambassador for Choose to Change and I\u2019d encourage anyone who thinks they could benefit from our support to get in touch. Our sessions can make a real difference by showing you the small changes to how you eat and exercise that can make a huge change to your life.\u201d\nTo find out if you are eligible for the scheme and for further information, please call 01744 778359 or visit www.choose-to-change.co.uk",

Turander/Azote\nCollaboration in social-ecological systems: talk or action?\nSeminar with \u00d6rjan Bodin, associate professor, Stockholm Resilience Centre, Monday 4 June 2018\nCollaboration among and between different actors and stakeholders is often put forward as the solution to environmental problem. Achieving collaborations leading to outputs that go beyond just talking when confronted with complex environmental problems is however a daunting task. One way to better understand this challenge is through the lenses of the participating actors and the ways in which they engage in collaborative networks.\nThrough a synthesizing effort bridging across different scientific disciplines, \u00d6rjan Bodin will show that quite much is known about collaborative networks and how they tend to be formed and shaped. He will also show that much less is known in relation to their abilities in addressing environmental problems, in particular how these abilities relate to specific characteristics of the underlying ecosystems. Bodin will demonstrate some early attempt to address that gap. A deeper understanding of if, when, and how collaboration is effective, and when other means of addressing environmental problems are better suited is needed.\nAbout \u00d6rjan Bodin\n\u00d6rjan Bodin is an Associate Professor at Stockholm Resilience Centre at Stockholm University. His interdisciplinary research on social-ecological systems span a range of scientific disciplines, theories and methods, and involve both conceptual/theoretical as well as empirical work. Bodin has been with Stockholm Resilience Centre since 2008, but he has also spent several longer research visits abroad, e.g. in the USA, South Africa, and Australia. He is actively engaged in numerous collaborations with scholars with a broad spectrum of scientific backgrounds.\nRead more about \u00d6rjan Bodin here\nMonday 4 June 2018, 10.00-11.00",

It was pretty thin pickings for radio reporters, in particular, who have to keep pumping out fresh stories on the hour.\nBut fortunately for a few of them, there was one of those out-of-the-box tales that offered plenty of chuckles and helped fill out newscasts.\nIt turns out that limited-edition Canada 150 Compass cards are being advertised online at 10 times the original cost.\nTransLink made 20,000 of them available for the usual $6 deposit.\nNow, you can find them marketed for up to $60 on Ebay.\nIt caused CBC Radio's Stephen Quinn to quip that he has a bus transfer from the 1970s that he's seeking a buyer for.\nHere's how one of the listings appears on Ebay.",

Surrounded by mostly arable fields and with a wealth of delightful towns and villages to explore, there is plenty to keep you busy.\nFramlingham itself is extremely popular all year round and is a hub of activity, particularly at weekends. There are many excellent local, independent shops in the market square as well as a selection of excellent dining pubs including Ed Sheeran's favourite, The Station.\nThere are so many winding country lanes leading in and out of this part of Suffolk, perfect for a relaxing drive in the sunshine. You'll see so many little footpaths where you can simply park up and go for a stroll at your leisure. This area is particularly flat which makes for stunning scenery and incredible views all year round. Early Summer is particularly beautiful when the landscape is so lush and green and the oil seed rape is in flower, resulting in fields of incredible, almost blinding yellow as far as the eye can see.\nIf you head West out of the county you'll come across the town of Needham Market and Stowmarket, where there are many excellent amenities and opportunities for a bit of retail therapy.\nTastes of Heart of Suffolk",

Tyrone was taken five times by police to hospital emergency rooms because they were convinced he was a danger to himself or others. Betty was so depressed she spent most of her days crying.\nBut all three said they were ready and anxious to get jobs and live in the community after just a few months at the Short Term Adult Residential Treatment program on the grounds of South Florida State Hospital.\n\"I feel completely turned around,\" said Deborah, 31, whose last name was kept confidential. \"I'm ready to go home.\"\nThe program, also called START, is designed to treat the chronically mentally ill and to ease the move from psychiatric hospitals or crisis stabilization units to the community residences or halfway houses.\nThe average stay is 90 days in the intensive and highly structured program that draws clients from Jupiter to Key West.\n\"It's like a home away from home,\" Tyrone said. \"It's good for people and helps until you're well enough to go out into society.\"\nThe state Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services has contracted with the North Miami Community Mental Health Center, Inc., in Dade to run the program.\nOn Tuesday, the 18 clients living in the one-story building hosted an open house.\nThe open house had been delayed until building renovations were complete and the staff had finished training courses at Tampa's Florida Mental Health Institute, which pioneered the program in the state.\nThe START program, which has a capacity to treat 20 adults, operates on a budget of $780,000 a year, officials said.\nBill Byron, director of the Broward County Crisis Stablization Unit also on the hospital grounds, said the program has been well received and helps bridge a gap in treating the mentally ill.\nEach day begins at 8:15 a.m. with stretching exercises. Clients must adhere to a rigid schedule throughout the day. The emphasis is for the adults to concentrate on communication, self-awareness, problem solving, self- medication, dealing with anger, creative expression of feelings and recreation.\nThere only is a 10-minute break between groups and classes.\nResidents are evaluated on levels from zero to seven. The higher the level, the more privileges, said Mary Lou Grey, program director.\nThe residents also produce a bi-monthly newsletter and contribute anecdotes and poetry.",

Hopefully if it does happen I can share the pressures with Hamilton, as it is a tough task. Let\u2019s wait and see,\u201d he said.\nThe 29-year old is itching to bounce back into action after missing the World T20 with a wrist injury.\nCremer said he was gutted to miss out on the World T20 after he broke his wrist while batting against West Indies in a warm-up match.\n\u201cIt is always tough getting injured, but the timing just before the World Cup was devastating for me. It does take a toll emotionally but you also have to understand it\u2019s part of the game.\n\u201cAs I have had major injuries in the past, I find I deal with injuries and set -backs a lot better now. Rehab is going ok, I have regained full wrist mobility and now it\u2019s all about getting the strength back in the arm,\u201d he said.\nNext month\u2019s series against India marks the beginning of a crucial period for the Chevrons and Cremer wants to be in the mix right from the word go.\n\u201cI am feeling confident enough to start training again and getting ready for India,\u201d he said.\n\u201cI was really happy with the 2015 season and now I am even more eager to get back and do well after coming back from injury,\u201d said Cremer, who last year took 18 wickets in 15 matches.\nZimbabwe is also expected to host New Zealand, the West Indies and Sri Lanka this year.\n\u201cIt\u2019s always good to have many games, it keeps the cob webs out and you get into a good rhythm of playing,\u201d said Cremer.\n\u201cObviously when we fail everyone points fingers at the senior guys which is right. We as a group need to put in some match winning performances and carry the team across the line.\nThe pressure is high but we have the talent and experience to win games,\u201d Cremer said.",

        "title": "Fashion retailers failing to act to reduce environmental and social impact - Sunday Post",
        "raw_content": "Fashion retailers failing to act to reduce environmental and social impact\nA GROUP of major UK fashion retailers is failing to take action to promote environmental sustainability and protect its workers, MPs have said.\nJD Sports, Sports Direct, TK Maxx, Amazon UK, Boohoo and Missguided are the \u201cleast engaged\u201d within the industry, with none of them having signed up to SCAP (Sustainable Clothing Action Plan) targets to reduce their carbon, water and waste footprint, and none of them are using organic or sustainable cotton in their garments, according to an interim report by the parliamentary Environmental Audit Committee (EAC).\nOf the six, only Boohoo and Sports Direct use recycled material in their products and only TK Maxx offers an in-store take-back scheme, the EAC inquiry found.\nNone of the same six have signed up to the ACT (Action, Collaboration, Transformation) living wage initiative and only one, Missguided, is a member of ETI (Ethical Trading Initiative), which aims to improve working conditions for workers globally.\nThe report singles out Amazon UK, a patron of the British Fashion Council, for its \u201cnotable\u201d lack of engagement and said: \u201cThough Amazon and TK Maxx are subsidiaries of international corporations that manage their initiatives, the committee believes this does not absolve them of responsibilities.\u201d\nIt concludes that the current business model for the UK fashion industry is unsustainable and says that exploitative practices must end and that retailers must lead change through labour market and environmental sustainability practices and show leadership through engagement with industry initiatives\nThe EAC wrote to 16 leading UK fashion retailers in autumn last year asking what they are doing to reduce the environmental and social impact of the clothes and shoes they sell.\nNext, Debenhams, Arcadia Group and Asda Stores are \u201cmoderately engaged\u201d, while Asos, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Primark and Burberry are the \u201cmost engaged\u201d, according to the report, with all in the latter group using organic or sustainable cotton and recycled material in their products as well as having in-store take-back schemes.\nThe committee said it welcomed a commitment by Burberry to end its burning of unsold stock.\nKurt Geiger did not respond to requests for written evidence.\nThe committee\u2019s inquiry into the \u201cfast fashion\u201d industry comes amid concerns that it encourages over-consumption and generates excessive waste.\nEAC chairwoman Mary Creagh said: \u201cWe want to see a thriving fashion industry that employs people fairly, inspires creativity and contributes to the economic success of the UK.\n\u201cIt\u2019s shocking to see that a group of major retailers are failing to take action to promote environmental sustainability and protect their workers. It\u2019s disappointing that only a third of the retailers we wrote to are signed up to ACT, an important global initiative working towards getting a living wage for all garment workers.\n\u201cBy publishing this information, customers can choose whether they want to spend money with a company that is doing little to protect the environment or promote proper wages for garment workers.\n\u201cWe hope this motivates under-performing retailers to start taking responsibility for their workers and their environmental impact.\u201d\nThe final report in the inquiry will be published in the coming weeks, setting out recommendations to Government for policies to encourage a more transparent, fair and sustainable fashion system.\nAmazon declined to comment on the report.\nBudget concessions erode trust in Government, businesses warn",

        "raw_content": "Chimneys in the Desert\nIndustrialization in Argentina During the Export Boom Years, 1870-1930\nFernando Rocchi\nThis book offers new topics and new perspectives on the economic history of Argentina before the 1930 Depression. It focuses on the evolution of early industrialization in a country primarily associated with cattle-ranching and agriculture, and single-mindedly characterized as a case of a successful export economy. Taking an original approach, the book cross-examines traditional economic issues such as production and finances, and new cultural patterns, such as consumption, the role of women, paternalism, and ideology.\nThe first years of Argentina\u2019s industrialization, from the 1870s to the 1920s, coincided with a time of great innovation, a brisk turn from tradition, and quick modernization. This book shows that industry not only helped Argentina\u2019s economy along, but spearheaded its modernization. It challenges the long-lasting \u201ccanonical version\u201d that industry was a victim of a capital market and a state extremely hostile to manufacturing. Access to financing for industrial endeavors was much easier than previously thought, while the state supported industry through tariffs.\nFernando Rocchi is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of History at the University of Torcuato Di Tella, Argentina.\n\"Fernando Rocchi has written a very important, carefully researched, and persuasive account of the missing link in Argentina...This book is a milestone on Argentine history and Latin American historical political economy.\"\n\"Rocchi's exemplary study plays the invaluable role of stimulating a new, more vigorous and more empirically-grounded debate on an old but immensely important subject.\"\n\"A must for anyone interested in Argentine history and economic development\"\n\"[Rocchi's] work is wide ranging, well written and extremely perceptive. . . . [He] has given us an excellent work that has reshaped our vision of early industrialization in Argentina. . . . Like all good books, this should inspire further research.\"\n\"[Rocchi's] work is wide ranging, well written, and highly perceptive...Anyone interested in the problematic history of the Argentine economy will find it a stimulating and convincing work.\"\n\"Chimneys in the Desert is a provocative study destined to become required reading for students of the history of industrial growth and of 'flawed' modernization.\"\n\"I recommend this book to anyone seeking a more detailed examination of Latin America's early industrial experience and to those Argentina aficionados still seeking an explanation of the enigma that is Argentine development.\"",

        "raw_content": "Dear guest family,\nmy name is Chiara Maria and I'm a 17-year old girl from Germany. At the beginning of August, I'll celebrate my 18th birthday. Currently I'm doing my German and French general qualification for university entrance (\u201cAbiBac\u201d).\nI'm an open-minded person to new experiences, foreign countries and new languages. That's why I love so much travelling, discovering other countries and getting to know other cultures. Furthermore, I'm very communicative and I love to get in touch with new people and making new friends. Also staying in contact with my friends is quite important for me. My hobbies are: skiing, snowboarding, reading and doing something together with my family, because I\u2019m a very family person. I\u2019m able to prepare things like pasta, quiche, risotto aso and everybody is saying that I\u2019m a fantastic \u201cFrench Cr\u00eapes-Maker\u201d plus we could do Italian bakery together by doing \u201cTorta Margherita\u201d.\nAgain, I\u2019m a very friendly person that likes to laugh and who loves to make other people laughing. Moreover, I'm a very cooperative and responsible person as well as I'm equable and determined. Together with my family (Dad, Mum and my 13 years old twin brothers) I live in Munich. I had to help my Mum with the twins since ever so I\u2019m very used to take care of little children and just as accustomed to help in the household. I also like to keep myself busy with kids.\nAt the age of 12 I begun to do babysitting in the neighbourhood. One year later I started to be assistant at physical education for toddlers for one year. Right now, I'm working again as an assistant at gymnastics for children at the age of 3-10 years and I\u2019m still doing babysitting, too as soon as helping to carry out birthday parties for children.\nI already participated in several abroad exchange programmes. By doing this I've been twice in France (5 and 9 weeks) and once in Venice/Italy for one week. At the age of four we moved to Italy for 3 years because of my fathers' work. That's why I had the opportunity to learn the Italian language like a native language. It's been also a great experience growing up in another culture. Thanks to all my stays abroad I'm used to get adapted to my hosting family really soon. Right now, I'm doing my German and French general qualification for university entrance (\"AbiBac\"). Because of my exchanges in France and the bilingual lessons which I do at school I\u2019m able to speak fluently French, too.\nAfter school (at the beginning of October 2019) I've planned to start political science and history at Munich university.",

        "title": "Deep Cuts: Sisters (1973) | SYFY WIRE",
        "raw_content": "@saracentury\nTag: margot kidder\nTag: Deep Cuts\nThe world of horror is vast. With so many films across the spectrum of budget, studio involvement, quality, availability, and, above all else, pure scare-the-living-shit-out-of-you-ness, it helps to have trained professionals parse through some of the older and/or lesser-known offerings. That's where Team Fangrrls comes in with Deep Cuts, our series dedicated to bringing the hidden gems of horror out of the vault and into your nightmares. Today we're looking at Brian De Palma's Sisters, about two formerly conjoined twins with a penchant for murder.\nBefore the late Margot Kidder was everyone's favorite fictional journalist Lois Lane in Superman (1978), she starred in a fairly eclectic group of movies, ranging from light comedy like the Gene Wilder film Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx to the beloved cult masterwork Black Christmas.\nIn 1973, despite her general ambivalence toward movie stardom and acting, Kidder was dating director Brian De Palma and had been roommates with Jennifer Salt, future writer and producer of Nip/Tuck, who in turn plays a career-obsessed journalist alongside Kidder in the movie Sisters.\nHaving been initially a director of comedies, Sisters marked De Palma's turn to the darker side of cinema, which would carry on into his future works such as Obsession and the original film version of Carrie. In an odd reference, the movie begins on the set of a dating game show, the kind that would have been popular in the early '70s. One of the contestants is a young black man named Philip, whose consolation prize is a free dinner at \u201cThe African Room.\u201d\nAnother contestant on the show, Danielle (Kidder), invites herself along, and, in one of the more referenced scenes of the film, has a few too many drinks and insists mid-dinner that she's not a feminist because she doesn't hate men. She says all this in a somewhat muddled take on a French-Canadian accent. During their dinner, her ex-husband Emil appears out of nowhere and sits down, pleading with her to leave with him. Philip has him escorted out and takes Danielle back to her apartment, where he spends the night, waking up with heavy scratches all over his back.\nDanielle is arguing offscreen with her twin sister Dominique, who we do not see. Danielle explains to Philip that it's their birthday, and sends Philip to the store to pick up her meds. He unknowingly signs his own death warrant by making a detour to pick up a birthday cake for Dominique and Danielle. When he returns, \u201cDominique\u201d leaps at him and stabs him to death with a knife from the cutlery set that Danielle had been awarded for her participation on the game show the night before. Danielle's ex-husband Emil once again shows up out of nowhere and helps her hide Philip's body.\nAcross the way, a journalist named Grace witnesses the crime and calls the police, who utterly dismiss her statement. Unable to let go of what she saw, Grace teams up with a private investigator to follow Danielle. Despite Danielle adamantly insisting that she has no twin, Grace uncovers the fact that she was one of a pair of infamous conjoined twins. Grace enters an institution where Danielle and Dominique, while still joined at the hip, had been under Emil's \u201ccare.\u201d In a bizarre hallucinatory shared flashback between Danielle and a now-imprisoned Grace, we learn that Emil had been molesting Danielle and had ultimately impregnated her, which led to an enraged response from Dominique. Without remorse, Emil murdered Dominique, pretending that she had simply died in a risky attempt at separation. He had assumed that would lead to Danielle becoming even more compliant to his wishes. In truth, Danielle missed her sister, and the death of Dominique led Danielle to, in some ways, become her twin.\nThe implication that normalcy is only presumed to exist in comparison to aberration, that no one is truly good or normal, is the overall theme of their relationship. One of the most revealing moments of the theme behind the film is when a psychiatrist is interviewed for a documentary on Dominique and Danielle, and states, \u201cDanielle, who is so sweet, so responsive, so normal as opposed to her sister, can only be so because of her sister.\u201d Not long afterward, Grace is unwillingly dragged into a sort of shared psychosis with Danielle, imagining herself to be Dominique.\nBizarrely, the entire story of Sisters was inspired by an actual case of conjoined twins, Masha and Dasha Krivoshlyapova. Due to their affliction, they were stolen from their mother and medically tortured over decades in their birth country of Russia. Neither Masha nor Dasha was a killer, and indeed they suffered greatly throughout their lives from being institutionalized, tested, and studied, but it was a photo of the two, one looking angelic, the other looking demonic, that inspired the film's script. The two even make a cameo of sorts, in which said photo is flashed onscreen and said to be Danielle and Dominique.\nBesides the obvious commentary on the sexist treatment of Danielle, Dominique, and Grace, the character of Philip is similarly discouraging. He is another black male character who meets his end while assisting an emotionally damaged white woman, and the police refuse to investigate his murder any further beyond a casual dismissal. His dismayed but bemused expression when given a free meal at \"The African Room\" conveys a great deal of the racism his character is forced to deal with on the regular.\nWhile Philip is a side character and only appears in the first half hour of the film before definitely succumbing to the trope of the black man being the first character to die in a horror film, he has a huge impact on the plot and the overall mood of the film. Before you learn how bad things are going to go for him due to his entanglement with Danielle, their relationship borders on being actually sort of cute. Philip's kindly presence and well-meaning character indicate the overall perceived uselessness of human decency and the failure of justice that emanates from this script.\nThe death scene of Philip is absolutely brutal given the added element in which the audience is shown his death through split screen both from inside the apartment, perhaps from Dominique's perspective, and outside, where Grace catches a glimpse of the crime through the window. The split-screen take is one of my favorite parts of the film, as it shows multiple angles on the characters responding to the atrocity. Another exciting element is the shrieking, bombastic soundtrack by frequent Hitchcock collaborator Bernard Herrmann, which doesn't build suspense so much as it plunges you into a nightmare dimension, often with very little warning.\nThere's been a great deal of commentary on the Hitchcock references that De Palma makes in this and his other films. To view the film through that lens alone will only allow you the conclusion that it's a second-rate Hitchcock knock-off. I disagree with the assessment for a few key reasons. While there are several moments that specifically visually reference Hitchcock films like Rear Window and Psycho, those films specifically strayed far away from examining their female characters beyond what was needed for the plot. Grace Kelly's character exists in Rear Window to establish that her older boyfriend is a complete weirdo, not to question why a beautiful young woman like herself would ever be drawn to him. In Sisters, the psychosis of the female characters is inevitably viewed through a male lens and via the male characters in the film, but it is the traumatized vulnerability in Kidder's eyes that draws us into the mystery.\nSisters holds a place in horror history as being one of the most outright unnerving pieces of cinema I've ever witnessed. Despite the too-red blood and the slow build, this is an intersection where tropes, genuine creepiness, and discussion of the failures of paternalism all seem to collide. It's not an effortless film and indeed suffers from many transitions and plot elements that are left open-ended when they would be better off resolved. On the other hand, in 1973 there was nothing like this movie, and its examination of what is considered to be normal in comparison to the things we deem monstrous is fascinating and implies that there is more to every story.\nTag: belladonna of sadness\nDeep Cuts: Belladonna of Sadness\nTag: lyle\nDeep Cuts: Lyle",

        "raw_content": "Appropriate access to equipment can greatly improve yields, crop quality and incomes for smallholders in Asia and Africa. The Syngenta Foundation is working on mechanization at different level: policy, research and implementation of a sustainable business model providing machinery rental option for smallholders in Senegal and Mali.\nInvestment in agricultural machinery has enabled farmers in some developing countries to intensify production and improve their income and quality of life. In countries such as India, China, Brazil and Turkey, the rapid expansion in farm machinery demand has stimulated the growth of local machinery manufacturing and contributed to overall productivity improvement. The same development could happen in Africa, if farmers could intensify their activities through greater mechanization. This would lead to increased input use, higher food production, enhanced food security and reduced dependence on imports.\nTimely completion of field preparation and harvesting is a major challenge for rice-growers across Sub-Saharan Africa. Inadequate soil preparation can delay crop establishment and increase weed and water stress (due to uneven distribution of irrigation water). It can also limit field accessibility for later activities. Lack of harvesting capacity can significantly reduce grain quantity and quality. That\u2019s why the Syngenta Foundation for Sustainable Agriculture works on the ground to provide mechanization services to rice farmers in Senegal and Mali. Since 2015 we have been working with Senegalese farmers to raise rice production through adding a growing season aided by access to mechanization services (in particular harvesters) through the CEMA model. CEMA stands for Centre d\u2019exploitation des machines agricoles, a Center for Mechanized Services. The basic idea of each center is to aggregate demand and supply. This enables profitable provision of services that require larger machinery and thus considerable upfront investment. The equipment includes tractors and combine harvesters. Depending on local needs, it can potentially involve grain processing and storage facilities. Typical CEMA owners are farmer cooperatives or produce aggregators. But they can include any third-party organization closely related to a local farming community. The center is operationally independent and keeps to a clear business plan and service catalogue. The aim is for each CEMA to achieve a return on investment within two to three years.\nAt the policy level, we engage stakeholders to have a dialogue about national mechanization policies and strategies for implementation. On 1 February 2017, SFSA together with the Hub Rural organized a workshop on Agricultural Mechanization in West Africa, in Dakar, Senegal, bringing together over 70 stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to debate about various mechanization policies and how to bring needed mechanization services to farmers. \u201cThe workshop pointed to the need for appropriate policies and for specific strategies to match each country, value chain, and production system\u201d says Youssou Diagne, Regional Coordinator of our rice program.\nFrom a R&D perspective, we have been collaborating with CIMMYT in the last three years on a project of developing approaches for sustainable access to mechanization for smallholders \u2013 focus on dry land farming. We realize that developing links to local manufacturers or importers /distributors is essential to make mechanization sustainable over the long term. In Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, the project has assessed what is already available, either commercially or from international programs, tested and adapted the equipment, and created necessary links for local manufactures and importers. In Bangladesh, a review of the companies supplying maize planting equipment was carried out in order to understand the competitive nature of the industry and a significant milestone has been achieved in 2017 in Bangladesh with the signature of a MoU with RK Metal to develop the market for planters in northern Bangladesh.\nThe CEMA model\nThe CEMA provides mechanized land preparation, harvesting and paddy storage services. These are available to farmers' organization members and independent farmers. The mechanized services account for 90-95% of the CEMA's revenue, the storage service for the remaining 5-10%. A partnership with the bank is key for buying machines on credit.\nCEMA Mali\nAgricultural Mechanization in West Africa. Y. Zhou (2016).\nLa m\u00e9canisation de l'agriculture en Afrique de l'Ouest.

        "title": "Fish or cut bait: Sunday reflection",
        "raw_content": "Fish or cut bait: Sunday reflection\nThis morning\u2019s Gospel reading is Luke 5:1\u201311:\nWhile the crowd was pressing in on Jesus and listening to the word of God, he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret. He saw two boats there alongside the lake; the fishermen had disembarked and were washing their nets. Getting into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, he asked him to put out a short distance from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. After he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, \u201cPut out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.\u201d Simon said in reply, \u201cMaster, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.\u201d When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them. They came and filled both boats so that the boats were in danger of sinking. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, \u201cDepart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.\u201d For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, \u201cDo not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.\u201d When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him.\nToday\u2019s readings remind me of two different idioms in our language, one of which gets commonly misused. We hear it all the time: He wants to have his cake and eat it too. That is so common that we don\u2019t recognize the obvious contradiction, which is that you must \u201chave\u201d your cake in the first place to eat it later. This idiom got inverted a couple of centuries ago from its original form, which was He wants to eat his cake and have it too.\nFortunately, we still recognize the meaning of the idiom, which is that someone wants everything to go their way regardless of the situation or consequences. This theme appears a number of times in the Gospels, either explicitly or implicitly. The most direct example comes in three of the Gospels \u2014 Luke 18, Matthew 19, and Mark 10.\nIn this passage, Jesus and the disciples come across a rich young man who wishes to attain salvation. Jesus tells him that he must follow the commandments to win salvation, to which the young man replies that he faithfully does so. Jesus then instructs, \u201cIf you want to be perfect, go sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.\u201d At hearing this, the young man becomes disconsolate and leaves, leading Jesus to say to Simon, \u201cIt is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.\u201d\nIn another episode from Luke 9, Jesus encounters two men who wish to follow Him to Jerusalem. Jesus invites them to do so, but one man wants to bury his father and the other wants to go back to say goodbye to his family. Both of these seem like reasonable requests, but Jesus offers this firm rebuttal: \u201cNo one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.\u201d\nIn both of these examples and others in the Gospels, Jesus teaches about commitment to salvation and the missionary work it requires in one form or another. It is not sinful to bury one\u2019s father, nor is it sinful to embrace one\u2019s family. It\u2019s not even sinful to be rich, assuming one did not get so in a sinful manner.\nHowever, when we want to \u201ceat our cake and have it\u201d simultaneously \u2014 wishing for salvation without transforming ourselves or putting out any effort for it \u2014 we miss the point, and we miss out on the salvation of Christ. We have examples throughout the Gospels of those who saw this and repented, perhaps most especially Zaccheus in Luke 19. Zaccheus was a wealthy tax collector, a notoriously dishonest position in those times, who repented when Jesus came to Jericho. He didn\u2019t promise to give away all he had, but he pledged to repay his crimes multi-fold to his victims when salvation presented itself.\nIn today\u2019s Gospel, we have an even more perfect example of this dedication to Christ\u2019s mission. Simon Peter recognizes the prophetic nature of Jesus in this miracle, so much so that Simon Peter proclaims his unworthiness to follow Jesus. James and John also recognize Jesus\u2019 authority, and all three (and Andrew in the version in Matthew 4) do something remarkable, especially in those days. They all abandon the trade that allowed them to live a subsistence lifestyle without a second thought.\nThis brings me to the other idiom that comes to mind from this Gospel: Fish or cut bait. It\u2019s the antithesis of eat your cake and have it too; it forces us to deal in reality and commitment. Jesus\u2019 teaching forces us to choose, just as it did with these four disciples, or the rich young man, or the men on the road to Jerusalem. We have to choose every day whether we will follow Christ and live by His commandments, or whether we will choose to live according to our own impulses, desires, and reliance on the material world.\nLike Simon Peter, we are not worthy of salvation on our own. It takes the grace of Christ to allow us to transcend those attachments, but we must choose to do so, however imperfectly and inconsistently we may do so. The Gospels present us with that stark choice: do we decide to become fishers of people, or do we cut bait and walk away from salvation by clinging to the transitory comforts of a fallen world?\nJesus understands how difficult this choice is for us. As He demonstrated with Zaccheus, and as Jesus instructed in the beautiful parable of the prodigal son, the Lord is willing to meet us more than halfway \u2014 as long as we choose His path, and commit to it in spirit and deed rather than think we can eat our cake and have it too.\n\u201cCalling of Saints Peter and Andrew,\u201d English engraving c. 1160-1180, on display at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.\nThe post Fish or cut bait: Sunday reflection appeared first on Hot Air.\nWaPo/ABC poll: Majority wants more Kavanaughcalypse from Congress\nOne would hope that rational people would have had their fill of the national embarrassment produced by the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process.

        "title": "Aggressive Tax Planning | Taxation | TDS Law",
        "raw_content": "How Aggressive Is Too Aggressive?\nThe leaves are falling, the air is turning cool, the kids are going back to school and our summer holidays are quickly becoming mere memories. What better way to shake off those late summer blues than with a pleasant discussion on \u2026 aggressive tax planning.\nTax planning is the process of structuring one\u2019s affairs in order to defer, reduce or even eliminate the amount of tax payable to the government. We are allowed to arrange our affairs to minimize our income taxes as long as it is done in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Act (ITA). The ITA contains provisions intended to limit overly aggressive tax plans and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) even has a separate Aggressive Tax Planning Division tasked with ferreting out those plans or business structures that they consider to be off limits. However, these limits are often difficult to discern, leaving taxpayers and their advisors wondering: how aggressive is too aggressive?\nAs a starting point, our tax legislation inherently invites lawful tax avoidance. While the ITA is first and foremost designed to provide revenue to the Federal Government, over the years it has become much more than a simple taxation code and its complexity is ever increasing. There are two general reasons for this complexity: 1) the ITA is supposed to be a \u201ccomplete code\u201d \u2013 a legislative one-stop-shop that must be applied to an ever changing and complex world filled with creative lawyers and accountants; and 2) the ITA is no longer simply a means to provide the government with revenue, but instead has become an important tool to affect social and economic policy. For instance, saving for one\u2019s retirement is recognized as a social good, and so the ITA now allows taxes to be deferred through RRSPs. Small businesses have been described as the engine of employment and the base of our economy, and so the ITA provides specific deductions and exemptions for small businesses. In virtually every area of taxation there is a myriad of specific rules, exceptions and exemptions.\nThe very reasons for our tax law\u2019s complexity also underscore the legitimacy of lawful tax avoidance. Given that the ITA is a complete code, with very specific provisions that both require taxation but also purposefully allow for the exemption of taxation, we must be free to organize our affairs so as to limit or reduce our taxes. Conversely, there can be no obligation on taxpayers to arrange their affairs in a manner that maximizes taxation. The right of taxpayers to minimize their taxes has been reaffirmed numerous times by our courts, including recently by the Supreme Court of Canada in Lipson v. The Queen.\nThe ways in which taxpayers can lawfully avoid taxes are limited only to tax planners\u2019 ingenuity and mastery of the complex web of tax laws. Plans range from a simple application of a tax rule, such as a corporate rollover which allows for a deferral of tax on the transfer of assets, to complex arrangements such as a \u201csurplus strip\u201d which is designed to reduce or even eliminate taxes on withdrawals of corporate earnings. Like all tax plans, their success depends firstly on the proper application of the various tax provisions. However, even if the aggressive tax planner has managed to traverse the ITA to create a technically sound tax savings manoeuvre, the taxpayer is still not out of the woods, since the CRA has a tool of last resort: the General Anti-Avoidance Rule (GAAR).\nThe GAAR is a legislative balancing act which recognizes the right of taxpayers to lawfully avoid paying taxes, but also guards against plans that defeat the purpose of the provisions being relied on. It should be noted that the vast majority of tax plans are not considered aggressive tax planning of the sort that would invite the use of the GAAR by the CRA. The above described rollover, for instance, could not be considered abusive since the ITA specifically allows for such a deferral.\nIn order for GAAR to apply, the transactions at issue must 1) result in a tax benefit, 2) be an avoidance transaction \u2013 that is, not be arranged primarily for bona fide purposes other than to obtain a tax benefit, and 3) result in a misuse of a provision of the ITA or an abuse of the ITA as a whole. While the taxpayer has the burden of proving the transaction did not result in a tax benefit or was not an avoidance transaction, the CRA has the burden of proving the tax avoidance resulted in a misuse or abuse of the ITA. In many GAAR cases before the courts, the taxpayer readily admits that the transactions were purely tax driven, leaving the burden on the Crown to prove they are abusive.\nEstablishing a tax avoidance transaction to be abusive is not a simple matter for the Crown. After all, GAAR recognizes that taxpayers can enter arrangements for the sole purpose of avoiding tax. The Crown must go beyond the plain and ordinary meaning of the words of the ITA relied on by the taxpayer and establish what the purpose behind the particular tax rule is and that the purpose is being improperly frustrated.\nThe recent decision of Lehigh Cement Ltd. v. R., in which the Federal Court of Appeal overturned the application of GAAR, highlights the Crown\u2019s difficulty.\nIn Lehigh, the taxpayer structured its transactions in a novel way that permitted it to use an exemption from withholding tax on interest payable to a non-resident corporation, resulting in the avoidance of millions of dollars in taxes. In finding that the Crown failed to establish that the transaction was abusive, the Court stated as follows:\n\u2026the fact that an exemption may be claimed in an unforeseen or novel manner, as may have occurred in this case, does not necessarily mean that the claim is a misuse of the exemption. It follows that the Crown cannot discharge the burden of establishing that a transaction results in the misuse of an exemption merely by asserting that the transaction was not foreseen or that it exploits a previously unnoticed legislative gap. As I read Canada Trustco, the Crown must establish by evidence and reasoned argument that the result of the impugned transaction is inconsistent with the purpose of the exemption, determined on the basis of the textual, contextual and purposive interpretation of the exemption.\nHowever, in other cases the Court has readily agreed with the Crown that the purpose of the provisions being relied on has been violated, resulting in a misuse of the ITA. Given the seemingly subjective nature of what constitutes abusive tax avoidance, some have suggested that the GAAR is in reality a legislative \u201csmell test\u201d. Coming close to this suggestion, Justice Boyle, in the case of Collins & Aikman Products Co. v. R. (under appeal to the Federal Court of Appeal) described the reasons why a tax free withdrawal of capital was permitted in the context of the GAAR:\nWhile these may be reasons that the chosen plan worked as tax-effectively as it did, none of these involved the degree of artificiality, boldness, vacuity or audacity to rise to the level of being a loophole or gimmick in common parlance\u2026\nIn the end, the dividing line between a successful plan that results in significant tax savings and one that results in reassessment by the CRA may very well depend on whether the plan rises to the level of a \u201cgimmick\u201d in the eyes of the particular CRA officer (or judge) scrutinizing the plan. In any event, before engaging in any tax plan, particularly one that promises significant tax savings, it is imperative to consult with a tax advisor familiar with the application of the GAAR, in order to gain a full appreciation of the risks involved.",

        "raw_content": "Early fears about MMR in secret papers\nThe Urabe MMR vaccine has been linked to cases of encephalitis\nMark Watts reports on the potentially dangerous side-effects of the MMR vaccine\nKatie Stephen was a healthy baby girl when she was injected with the MMR triple vaccine. Ten days later she was vomiting, delirious and running a fever.\nThat was in 1990. Seventeen years later, she is deaf in one ear.\nFollowing the debate over MMR and its alleged link with autism, government documents just released under the Freedom of Information Act show there was another, earlier concern for which there was more evidence and, apparently, more immediate risk. Whitehall experts knew of it before MMR's mass introduction into Britain, but the public was kept in ignorance.\nKatie's symptoms were consistent with those of encephalitis, which can cause brain damage or even death. Her mother Wendy, a former psychiatric nurse, is convinced that the first variant of MMR used in Britain is responsible.\nMass immunisation with the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine began in Britain in October 1988. Ten years later, Andrew Wakefield, a researcher at the Royal Free Hospital in London, suggested the vaccine might increase the risk of autism and bowel disorders. But at least eight months before the first British children were injected with MMR, the government working party set up to introduce it was already aware of another potentially dangerous side-effect.\nThe newly released documents include the minutes of a meeting of 15 experts and officials held in February 1988. According to the minutes, the group \"read a report of cases of mumps encephalitis which had been associated with MMR vaccine containing the Urabe strain of the mumps virus. The Canadian authorities had suspended the licences of MMR vaccines containing the Urabe strain.\"\nThis was bad news for the government: the Urabe strain was to be used in 85 per cent of early MMR injections. Canada did not withdraw the licences for Urabe MMR, but stopped using it as a precaution.\nIn early 1987, just after the Thatcher government decided on MMR as an option in mass vaccinations, doctors in America had already reported \"adverse reactions\" to Urabe MMR. A few months later, the Swedes reported 52 cases of \"febrile convulsions probably associated with MMR vaccination\".\nThen, in Britain, five cases of convulsions were reported in children taking part in an MMR trial in Somerset, although only three of these appeared to be related to the triple vaccine. A meeting of the government's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) noted: \"This gave a rate of three convulsions per thousand doses of MMR.\"\nThe group \"expressed concern\" about giving triple vaccines to children with a personal or family history of convulsions. Nevertheless, the British immunisation programme involving Urabe MMR went ahead in 1988.\nToby Stewart of west London was one of the children given it. He soon developed encephalitis-type symptoms and was left with what his father Andy, a business consultant, describes as \"low-scale brain damage\". Mr Stewart believes his son was the victim of cost-cutting - Urabe MMR being cheaper than MMR2.\nToby was one of the last British children to be injected with Urabe MMR. After the start of mass immunisation, more alarming evidence surfaced around the world. Canada, having stopped using Urabe MMR in 1988, withdrew licences for the vaccine in May 1990. Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore soon followed.\nIn the same month, the JCVI's \"adverse reactions\" sub-committee expressed \"special concern\" over reports from Japan linking Urabe MMR with high levels of meningoencephalitis.\nIt took until 1992 for Britain to stop injecting children with Urabe MMR, replacing it with MMR2, which contains a less potent form of the mumps virus. And, according to the minutes, that action owed more to the decision of the manufacturers of Urabe MMR to cease production. Revoking the licence would have cast light on Whitehall's decision to use Urabe MMR on British children despite disturbing evidence of its potential effects.\nThe minutes of Whitehall committees dealing with the triple vaccination have been obtained by the FOIA Centre, a research company, on behalf of parents involved in a group action for damages against a number of pharmaceutical companies for an array of conditions allegedly caused by MMR.\nThe discussions uncovered began 20 years ago, but Mrs Stephen still feels betrayed. Mr Stewart is equally bitter. \"These documents,\" he says, \"confirm our worst fears.\"\nMark Watts is the co-ordinator of the FOIA Centre (www.foiacentre.com)\nMMR: the facts - NHS\nMMR - MedInfo UK\nMMR research timeline - BBC\nMiniature horse therapy\nCelebs in specs",

        "raw_content": "ANDRZEJ KRAUZEAt the end of October 2015, alarm bells began ringing: hundreds of pregnant women in northeastern Brazil were giving birth to babies with unusually small heads and an unusual pattern of very severe neurological damage. Epidemiologists observed an association of the condition with the mothers\u2019 infection by a mosquito-borne virus called Zika early in pregnancy, and researchers raced to demonstrate a causal relationship. The virus generated such buzz (and fear) that reports were omnipresent throughout 2016, both in the popular media and in the scientific literature. At one point, officials considered canceling the 2016 Olympic Games, which were eventually held in Rio de Janeiro in August with no cases of infection reported.\nLast February, as infections continued to mount across Latin America and the Caribbean, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Zika a \u201cpublic health emergency of international concern.\u201d After visitors to countries in those regions returned home with infections, researchers confirmed that the virus could be transmitted sexually and was associated with an increased incidence of peripheral nerve damage manifested as muscle weakness and paralysis (Guillain-Barr\u00e9 syndrome). Then, in July, Zika-harboring mosquitoes appeared in the continental United States, with 184 locally acquired cases reported in Florida (at press time. As of 12/28 the number has risen to 210). Vigilant monitoring and heavy insecticide spraying seems to have halted active transmission there, but at the end of November, Texas became the second state to report a locally acquired case of Zika (6 as of 12/28). A week earlier, on November 18, as infections had begun to wane both in the Southern Hemisphere and in the U.S., WHO changed Zika\u2019s classification from international emergency to one of \u201csignificant enduring public health challenge.\u201d Despite this status change, however, Zika\u2014both the virus and the illness\u2014still harbors many baffling mysteries and research continues at a furious pace.\nAs the epidemic evolved, life scientists reached across disciplines to immediately and openly share results that could shed light on why the virus can be so damaging and how its spread might be controlled. To search for clues on how to rein in the virus, the Zika genome was sequenced in short order, and mosquito researchers formed the Aedes Genome Working Group, which rushed to assemble a more-complete map of the DNA sequence of A. aegypti, a mosquito that transmits not only the Zika virus but also dengue and chikungunya.\nWhile Zika hogged the headlines in 2016, a mosquito of another genus, Anopheles, continues to play its ages-old role as carrier of the parasite responsible for a scourge suffered by millions upon millions\u2014malaria. Because no vaccine exists yet, researchers are investigating improved methods to manage the parasite\u2019s spread by tinkering with the mosquito itself. In this issue\u2019s cover story, Tony Nolan and Andrea Crisanti write about how knowledge of the mosquito genes responsible for key behaviors can inform the design of gene drives\u2014the insertion of genetic elements into the insect\u2019s DNA that are selectively inherited and could result in a radical diminution of mosquito populations. But while gene drives \u201care species-specific, self-sustaining, and have the potential to be long-term and cost-effective,\u201d the authors write, \u201cthe deci\u00adsion to deploy a gene drive technology does not, and should not, lie with the sci\u00adentists who design it.\u201d\nEven though the value of a gene drive that wipes out the insect carrier of a disease that affects millions is obvious, implementation of such methods remains highly controversial, and a careful appraisal of the approach\u2019s ethical and ecological implications is imperative.\nOther articles about controversial issues can be found in \u201cEthical Considerations of Three-Parent Babies,\u201d which lays out the ethical issues surrounding mitochondrial replacement therapy, and suggestions about how to deal with the glut of life science PhDs (\u201cAddressing Biomedical Science's PhD Problem\u201d).\nScientific research is no stranger to controversy. And when we dig it up, you can be sure we will share it with you.\nStudy: Gene Drive Wipes Out Lab Mosquitoes\nGenes and Blues",

        "raw_content": "Lessons From the Bergdahl Affair\nWhat a podcast is teaching us about military recruiting, counterinsurgency strategy, and how we treat missing Americans.\nBy Kelley Beaucar Vlahos \u2022 March 9, 2016\nBowe Bergdahl walked off.\nIn the court of public opinion, this is the central fact all can agree upon\u2014-that a 24-year-old Army private first class who had been in Afghanistan fewer than two months walked off his outpost one day and vanished.\nEverything that happened between Bergdahl\u2019s walk-off and the present moment, where he stands trial for desertion and \u201cmisbehavior before the enemy,\u201d has formed the basis of one of the most bizarre and dramatic tales of a missing soldier in recent memory. To say this case has become a political flashpoint is an understatement.\nEnter Serial, the bi-weekly podcast series now devoted to chronicling the Bergdahl case. Fresh off an award-winning first season in which journalist Sarah Koening documented\u2014and managed to reboot\u2014the murder conviction of Adnan Syed, the team dives headlong into the Bergdahl rabbit hole.\nKoenig attempts in her now-trademark style to solve the mystery of how Bergdahl went missing (and whether he is telling the truth) and how he was eventually rescued. She talks with Bergdahl\u2019s platoon mates, his friends back home, military officials tasked with looking for him, psychologists, diplomats, and members of the Taliban who were present when he was taken hostage.\nMost importantly, Serial\u2019s second season incorporates 25 hours of phone conversations between Bergdahl and filmmaker Mark Boal (Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker), in which, among other things, Bergdahl describes how he was beaten, cut, starved, chained spread eagle to a bed, left in a 6-by-6-foot cage, and still managed to survive for five years. As one psychologist noted, you have to go back to the Vietnam era torture tactics to find any comparison.\nMeanwhile, Koenig gives a wide berth and understanding to his fellow soldiers, who searched for Bergdahl for weeks with no respite. These aren\u2019t the kind of red meat interviews paraded on Fox News and CNN, but rather a fair insight into how Bergdahl both flummoxed and alienated his comrades, before and after his disappearance.\nThrough one man\u2019s story, Serial deftly exposes the failure of the counterinsurgency (COIN) doctrine that was en vogue in Washington but frustrated soldiers on the ground at the time. It also underscores the unsustainable pressure put on the armed forces to recruit and rapidly deploy and redeploy personnel on two war fronts. Furthermore, it shows, sadly, that the mantra \u201cleave no American behind\u201d is little more than a comforting cliche; reality is much more cynical.\nCritics of Bergdahl have called the episodes \u201cpure propaganda,\u201d while others have questioned the agenda, given Boal\u2019s intention of making Bergdahl\u2019s story into a Hollywood movie. But for those of us for whom details are coin of the realm, the podcasts are a revelation. Here are three key takeaways so far:\n1. Bergdahl should have never been let into the Army.\nFor the first few episodes we meet Bergdahl\u2014an Idaho native who was homeschooled, spent much of his childhood alone, and escaped to the embrace of surrogate family as soon as he turned 16. Socially awkward, he was still considered a top recruit during and after boot camp because he lived, breathed, and dreamed of the life of a soldier, of adventure. He was morally and ethically driven.\nBut for all the advantages of Bergdahl\u2019s unequivocal approach, there were downsides: he could be tone-deaf; he interpreted slights and judgements by leadership as \u201cdangerous\u201d and life-threatening to his platoon, even as his fellow soldiers were shrugging them off. He wanted to be a hero, even envisioning himself as a \u201cJason Bourne\u201d who only planned to march off the outpost to get the attention he felt was necessary to right the wrongs.\n\u201cThe lives of the guys next to me were literally, from what I could see, were in danger of something going wrong and somebody being killed,\u201d Bergdahl told Boal.\nThen, in Episode 7 we are brought through the details of Bergdahl washing out of Coast Guard boot camp. He was found one night in the fetal position, shaking and crying. He was given a psychological discharge following a diagnosis of \u201cadjustment disorder with depression.\u201d Later in the podcasts, a psychologist calls his malady \u201cschizotypal personality disorder.\u201d\nA waiver would have been necessary for Bergdahl to re-enlist, but he got one. According to Koenig, the Army never looked at the note that said a psychological evaluation would be required before a waiver was granted. Bergdahl was upfront about what happened at the USCG, but desperate for recruits in 2008, the Army didn\u2019t seem to care.\n\u201cSomeone too mentally troubled to make it through [Coast Guard] recruit training shouldn\u2019t have been enlisted in the Army on a waiver,\u201d Marine Corps veteran and journalist Carl Prine tells TAC. \u201cThe Army owns a lot of this problem because if he didn\u2019t stalk off into Talibanistan, he would\u2019ve done something equally puzzling and self-destructive and likely to compromise a mission later.\u201d\n2. COIN Failed Everyone\nIn Episode 2, we get the full sense of the search for Bergdahl which began immediately after he was found missing and continued for weeks, eventually engaging the entire brigade. \u201cWe were charging in these towns \u2026 going in with our guns blazing,\u201d said soldier Jon Thurman.\nRaids were conducted day and night. They were dangerous, as commanders were often \u201cwinging it\u201d without a game plan, pulling into unfamiliar towns and villages. There were booby traps. MRAP vehicles were blown to bits. \u201cIt became apparent to us that the Taliban, and the Haqqani, knew we were pulling out all the stops to find him and were feeding false information into our informant networks, said Major Mike Waltz, who was in charge of a special forces team conducting raids at night based on intel\u2014often not vetted\u2014about Bergdahl.\n\u201cYou got the most advanced military in the world throwing all this effort all this expertise and technology trying to find one person,\u201d said Koenig. \u201cIt\u2019s really something. But then they can\u2019t find him, and then in some instances they are being played.\u201d\nShe talked to (Ret.) Lt. Col. Jason Dempsey, Iraq and Afghanistan veteran and PhD who teaches at West Point. \u201cYou\u2019ve got this great lumbering machine moving through and it can destroy anything face to face but it has no idea on the granular level what\u2019s going on right below it,\u201d he said, noting that the military could target and track networks but had no idea how they interacted with each other. That knowledge was what COIN strategy was supposed to buy, but they never got it.\n\u201cWe rotated a few thousand dudes through every 7 to 12 months. There is no institutional knowledge\u2014absolutely none. We were never there long enough to have \u2026 anyone fully engaged with Afghan politics.\u201d\nOn the ground, in the platoon, COIN seemed to be playing out in a similar fashion. There were mixed messages about nation and trust-building, and there was a perception that soldiers\u2019 hands were tied. Earlier reports that Bergdahl had turned against the war seem only half-right when you listen to the podcasts. He wanted a clearer mission, the ability to help the Afghans and kill the bad guys. This appears to be corroborated by his platoon mates. \u201cEverybody was saying this is bullshit,\u201d Bowe said during his interview, \u201cthis whole thing is stupid \u2026 what we\u2019re doing here.\u201d\n3. Yes, We Leave Americans Behind\nIn Episode 5, we meet the officials back in the U.S. tasked with leading the intelligence and diplomatic effort to get Bergdahl back. It turns out it is incredibly difficult to get people marshalled to help get Americans out of captivity\u2014whether they are military or civilian. After the two-month search inside Afghanistan was called off, the search continued in the bureaucracy. The two women in charge of the personnel recovery office at SOCOM in Tampa said their office was underfunded and undermanned. And many officials up the chain just didn\u2019t care.\nThe fact that Bowe was taken to Pakistan made things very difficult, and there were a lot of well-meaning people doing the best they could. But they \u201chad to fight complacency [and] malaise\u201d about all hostages, not just Bergdahl, apparently having to do with \u201ccircumstances of capture.\u201d\n\u201cI can\u2019t begin to tell you the amount of time I\u2019ve heard \u2018why should I care. He did that to himself, or she did that herself,\u2019\u201d said one of the recovery officials, who, not speaking directly about Bowe, said their job included \u201cselling\u201d the idea that a specific person should be rescued. This challenge was tripled, \u201ceven cubed,\u201d in Bergdahl\u2019s case, because to a person, it was believed that he \u201cwalked off\u201d if not deserted, said another official.\nLt. Col. Jason Amerine, a celebrated U.S. Army soldier who led the rescue mission for Bergdahl from the Pentagon and later testified about the dysfunction in hostage recovery, told Serial how disenchanted he had become with the human and bureaucratic ambivalence in all hostage cases.\n\u201cI was in uniform for 27 years, for me the notion of not leaving a soldier behind, you know that you, internalize that. And for me it just always a false assumption that America doesn\u2019t leave Americans behind,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve never been put in this ridiculous position before, of wait, there are these Americans that no one gives a f-ck about? Nobody is doing anything to get them home. Our greater bureaucracy is treating their families horribly, telling these families to shut up and wait.\u201d\n\u201cTo me it was bordering on criminal how we are treating our common citizens.\u201d\nThe political sturm und drang in Washington involving several negotiated, then failed, swap agreements ahead of Bergdahl\u2019s eventual release in June 2014, are surprisingly left unexplored in Episode 9, which otherwise excels at highlighting the late Richard Holbrooke\u2019s early role in Taliban reconciliation and the frustrating diplomatic fits and starts that led to Bergdahl\u2019s release. It would be interesting to hear how detractors like Sen. John McCain might have complicated his rescue (we know how much they would like to see him back behind bars today).\nThey might get their wish. If convicted on the charges, Bergdahl could face life in prison.\nWhether Serial will change minds in the court of public opinion is uncertain, but it has gone a long way toward showing where Bergdahl had control of his complicated surroundings, and where they got the better of him. And it\u2019s not over. The 10th episode is expected in mid-March.\nKelley Beaucar Vlahos is a Washington, D.C.-based freelance reporter and TAC contributing editor. Follow her on Twitter.\nFor McCain, A Pain In the Fannie May Be Just the Beginning\n10 Responses to Lessons From the Bergdahl Affair\nConserving What? says:\nOne thing is clear at this point: Bergdahl was not kidnapped from his post by the Taliban. He walked away. His motives don\u2019t matter; soldiers don\u2019t have the right to dictate military policy. Nothing that our government did or failed to do to recover Bergdahl is relevant to\u2013or an excuse for\u2013what Bergdahl did, or relevant to what punishment Bergdahl should receive. Nor should Bergdahl be excused from consequences because he was immature or unstable. Nothing is more detrimental to military cohesion than lack of disciplne.\nMore incontrovertible evidence that proves our government is completely mismanaged and out of control. No wonder the idealistic who most believe the lies it serves up end up the most broken by the utter hypocrisy.\nThe \u201cOperation Tar Baby\u201d character of the efforts to rescue PVT Bergdahl is emblematic of US foreign policy in Afghanistan, Iraq, and nearly every other nation where we have intervened in the past 7 decades.\nThe sooner we exit these places and abandon these insane policies, the fewer problems our servicemen will have in protecting our nation.\nvato_loco_frisco says:\nAnother dented can seeking redemption in the military\u2026 I\u2019ve been following the Bergdahl\u2019s saga since his repatriation although I doubt I have the time & stamina to listen to the podcast. (Nice summary from Vlahos, however.) Life is prison is far too excessive a punishment for this troubled young man. Credit for time served under the Islamists is sufficient. Bergdahl should also be given the opportunity to wander off into obscurity for the rest of his life, which would benefit us, the public at large. But with a Hollywood movie a possibility, that might be wishful thinking.\nPerhaps one of the greatest ironies of this whole affair, if one believes Bergdahl\u2019s narrative \u2026 is that had he succeeded, and reached another outpost, and gone public with his criticisms of the way the campaign was being managed:\na) most likely he\u2019d have still been court-marshalled for desertion of his post\nb) most of the voices attacking Bergdahl today, and attacking Obama for having traded Talibanis for him, would be championing his cause, and calling him a martyr to the Obama Administrations campaign to cover up the mismanagement of the Afghan War.\nExpect a presidential pardon \u2014 after the election.\nek ErliaR says:\nI thank God I was in a conscript army not a professional army.\nIn the old days, about 1968, if someone like PFC Bergdahl decided to wander away, got captured and then popped up again about the time the likes of McCain his ring knocking buddies were being released, then PFC Bergdahl would have been give his back pay and an honorable discharge as a matter of course. By definition, infantry PFCs in combat zones are completely expendable.\nBy the way, McCain, of the long line of ring knocking McCains, did make a statement for his captors. We don\u2019t blame him, we all knew we would have exactly the same. But his smearing PFC Bergdahl simply reveals what a miserable excuse for man McCain is.\nNever has so much political hay made from a nonevent.\nHe was not a trader. He did a dumb thing. Amny commentary about his not having been in the military or or the intense efforts to find him (despite the fact that the military was going in guns blazing anyway \u2014 hence the walk away) is just mucking up reality. I am thinking of Medal of Honor winner Sgt Dwight Johnson\nhttp://www.badassoftheweek.com/dwightjohnson.html\nbased on the articles import he never should have been in the Army either.\nHere\u2019s the ultimate point. We the US do not leave soldiers behind in the hands of an enemy. If I were a US serviceman and listened to the nonsense that has gone about one of our own, I would get out. And any member of Congress who so complains ought to hang his head in shame.\nWhat issues we have in our family belong in and to our family.\nThis remains the aftermath of the whining about an inconsequential prisoner exchange.\nWhat is a ring knocker?\nI\u2019d heard it used as a non-complimentary term for West Point grads (because of their class rings); apparently it also applies to graduates of the Naval Academy like McCain.",

        "raw_content": "BUYER'S ADVICE: DON'T WAIT FOR A BETTER DEAL\nDespite a hot economy, mortgage interest rates are near historic lows. Prices are still below where they were nearly 10 years ago. Home values have risen for over five years allowing homeowners to build equity. Unemployment is down to where it was before the recession.\nPrices are higher, inventory is tight, and buyers are being shut out of homes in many areas. Rents are higher than mortgage payments across the country. So buying a home is tougher than it's been in years. Some homebuyers may be wondering if they should wait for a better deal.\nThere are valid arguments to waiting and to jumping in the market. Either choice has its risks. If you don't buy, prices can go up even more. You'll pay more in rent and when you decide to buy, homes that you could have afforded now will be more expensive, possibly out of your range.\nIf you do buy a home, prices could go down, which will put you underwater longer, and possibly leaving you with an expensive asset that's harder to sell.\nBut consider this \u2013 what if you buy and prices go up? You'll accumulate instant equity, a savings account of a kind, all while receiving considerable tax breaks and other incentives. Would you feel just as weighed down by owning a home if it were appreciating in value instead of losing value?\nThere are no guarantees that home prices will turn in your favor. Local markets rise or fall based on their own micro-economies, but there is one truth that never changes \u2014 you'll never know if you could have had a better deal unless you commit to making one.\nIn January 2015, Kiplinger's predicted a 3.5 percent increase in national home prices. By June, prices were already up 3.2 percent, according to the National Association of REALTORS.\nAt the least, you should run the numbers. Document what you spend in rent VS what you can afford as a house payment. On the conservative side, you should spend no more than 28 percent of your income on your mortgage payment, taxes and hazard insurance. Your other debts should be no more than seven to 14 percent of your income.\nFactor in other costs, such as moving, commutes, schools, and, of course, your down payment.\nBuying a home isn't just about the money. It's about lifestyle, safety, comfort, and easy access to the people and amenities you want to be close to.\nYou have to do what's comfortable for you and your family, whether that's remaining on the sidelines or buying a home. But here's a tip \u2014 if you buy the home that best meets the needs of your household and budget, chances are that you'll be pleased with your decision for years to come.",

        "raw_content": "Interest Earning Accounts\n\u2022\u2022\u2022 Jose A. Bernat Bacete / Getty Images\nFree checking accounts are great because you get great features at no cost. But they often skip one important feature: the ability to earn interest on your money in the bank.\nSavings and CDs obviously pay, but what about accounts that earn interest and give you easy access to cash? It's nice to have the ability to spend, whether by debit card, online bill payment, or old-fashioned paper checks.\nSavings accounts limit the number of certain outgoing transactions each month, so they typically don't allow you to do much besides make withdrawals or transfer to checking.\nMoney market accounts pay a high level of interest, often paying as much or more than savings accounts. What's more, you've got access to your money - you can often spend with a debit card or write a check to use that money. The catch is that there are limits on how frequently you can take advantage of those options. Six per month is on the high end, but some accounts set the limit at three per month.\nInterest checking accounts are another option. These are fully-functioning checking accounts, meaning there are virtually no limits to how often you can spend from the account. These accounts can be found at traditional banks, credit unions, and they're especially easy to find at credit unions.\nSome interest checking accounts, known as reward checking, pay extremely high rates, but they require that you meet certain criteria to earn interest. For example, you might have to use your debit card at least 10 times per month and sign up for online statements. If you don't meet the criteria, you won't earn interest that month.\nOther banks (especially online banks) pay interest at competitive rates, and it's easy to qualify for those earnings - even in a checking account. Online banks often charge no monthly maintenance fees, and there are no minimum balance requirements to get started. For an idea on where to find these accounts, look at Ally Bank.\nLinking your checking account to an interest-bearing savings account is an option if you can't get a checking account that pays interest. It can be done within your existing bank (transfers between checking and savings are more or less instant), or you can link to an external account.\nOnline bank accounts often pay more than brick-and-mortar banks, so you might just need to open an online-only account and link that account to your everyday checking account. Transfers usually take three business days or so, so you\u2019ll need to plan ahead (just a bit) \u2013 unless you also set up online bill pay at your online bank.\nAlthough funds might show up in your account shortly after you request a transfer, they might not be available for withdrawal (or spending) right away \u2013 make sure you get familiar with the timing, so you don\u2019t miss any important payments.\nDividends Are Basically the Same As Interest Payments\nYou might be familiar with interest payments in your bank account, but what about \"dividends\"? Dividends in a bank account are basically the same as interest payments.\nThe term dividends is most often used at credit unions, as opposed to banks. Credit unions are customer-owned institutions, and they have a language of their own. For example, a savings account at a credit union is known as a \"share account\" because it represents your share of ownership in the credit union (and those accounts pay monthly dividends).\nNo Fees: Where to Find Free Checking Accounts\nING Direct: Pioneers of the Online Checking Account\nUSAA Checking Offers Hi-Tech to Happy Customers",

        "raw_content": "Spend time talking to Mark Morton about his creative process and two themes emerge. One, he loves to write. The Lamb of God guitarist says, \u201cI\u2019m a musician, I'm a songwriter, I'm a guitar player, and I'm a lyricist.\u201d Two, Morton is inspired by a wide swath of musical genres.\nFor his new project Anesthetic, Morton didn\u2019t sit down this year and say I want to write a solo album. Instead, he\u2019s actually been writing some of this debut for years. \u201cThis album wasn\u2019t a concerted effort to start something outside Lamb of God,\u201d he explains. \u201cMusic is always in my head, and until I write and record it, it\u2019s stuck there. But once I record it, it\u2019s out. It\u2019s a catharsis, more for my own sanity.\u201d\nMorton is always creating: even when he isn\u2019t writing lyrics, he\u2019s thinking about writing lyrics. He writes on tour and he writes at home. Whenever something hits him, he jots it down: the notes section on his phone is jammed with song ideas and lyrics. Every time he hears or reads a turn of phrase, he takes out his phone. And it would be a mistake to pigeonhole Morton\u2019s music taste as strictly metal. He\u2019s always been inspired by all kinds of music, but his biggest inspiration comes from music \u201cwith a groove and undeniable head bounce that elevates your heart rate and gets you excited.\u201d That\u2019s why Morton cites not just Slayer and Metallica but Biggie Smalls and Public Enemy as influences.\nOne of the biggest influences for this latest project, though, was longtime Lamb of God producer Josh Wilbur. He\u2019s worked with the band since 2003, but since then he\u2019s worked with everyone from Steve Earle to LCD Soundsystem. After Morton played Wilbur some of his demos, Wilbur encouraged him to record it for release.\nWhen it was time to assemble musicians for Anesthetic, Morton had a choice: he could ask friends to play on it\u2014people who knew his style and work ethic\u2014or he could assemble a dream team, many of whom didn\u2019t know Morton and some of whom had never even heard of Lamb of God. Morton did both. He cites two albums as reference points: Slash\u2019s first solo album and Dave Grohl\u2019s side project Probot, in which both men used artists they admired to play on their tracks. Morton\u2019s project, too, is a collaboration of highly respected musicians.\nThe recording process for Anesthetic was all over the place. Literally. They recorded everywhere from the Los Angeles area to Baltimore to the Grand Cayman Islands. Some tracks were recorded in studio, others were recorded thousands of miles apart. In some cases, Morton wrote music and lyrics; in others, Morton wrote the music and the vocalist wrote the lyrics. He cast a wide net for all-star collaborators. And almost everyone said yes: Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees), Josh Todd (Buckcherry), Steve Gorman and Marc Ford (Black Crowes), Mike Inez (Alice in Chains), Ray Luzier (Korn), Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour), Dave Ellefson (Megadeth), Chuck Billy (Testament), Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge), Alissa White-Gluz (Arch Enemy), Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), Jean-Paul Gaster (Clutch), Jake Oni (ONI). Randy Blythe makes an appearance, and Morton even takes over vocal duties on one track.\nAnesthetic is a diverse body of work under the rock umbrella. There\u2019s alternative, metal, and thrash. Morton wrote most of the music, but all of the songs feature co-writes. The Josh Todd song \u201cBack from the Dead\u201d is a good example of how that process worked. With those songs, Morton says, \u201cI wrote the music first knowing that I'm leaving space for the vocals. Once the song established itself, Josh (Wilbur) and I talked about what kind of song it was and who would sound good on it. What kind of voice is this song asking for?\u201d Morton knew that Todd was the perfect match for this song. \u201cIt\u2019s a high energy song, kind of cocky,\u201d he explained. Morton sent Todd the music. Ten minutes later, Todd responded via text: I\u2019m in.\nThe musicians on the album will all tell you how easy Morton was to work with. Much of this has to do with Morton\u2019s creative philosophy in the studio: he wanted each song to play to the artists\u2019 strengths. He never asked the artists to do anything too different from what they were familiar with. (That meant no double kick drum pedal for the Black Crowes\u2019 Steve Gorman.)\nAs one of Morton\u2019s \u201cfavorite living drummers,\u201d Gorman was at the top of Morton\u2019s list. He sent Gorman the demos, and Gorman loved them. Admittedly, he had never heard of the band, and his first response was, \u201cAre you sure I'm the guy you\u2019re thinking of? But then I realized that if this guy is in a metal band, he must be doing something different.\u201d Gorman says that working with Morton \u201ccouldn\u2019t have been easier.\u201d Morton made it clear that \u201cwe were there to do what we normally do, and to just do our thing. It really removed the pressure.\u201d As for the sound? \u201cThe fact that I'm involved should dispel any possible sense that this sounds like what he normally does,\u201d Gorman points out.\nJosh Todd was impressed with Morton\u2019s songwriting ability, in particular how Morton writes songs for a vocalist. \u201cMark knows how to write a great song with a structure that sets a singer up. He made it easy for me to write lyrics and melodies. In other cases, I've gotten songs that are in such disarray that I have to sift through it to get a structure in my head.\u201d Morton\u2019s, he said, were already well thought out. The lyrics, Todd said, practically wrote themselves.\nLongtime friend Mike Inez needed no prodding when Morton reached out. \u201cMark called me when I was in the car in LA with my wife. He didn\u2019t have to ask twice.\u201d Morton originally asked him to play on one track, but Inez insisted on more, so you can hear him on half the album. Like Gorman, Inez appreciate the space that Morton gave his players. \u201cThis isn\u2019t really Lamb of God stuff at all. Mark stretched out. It was a smart move to just tell us to be ourselves, rather than calling us in and telling us what to play.\u201d\nLooking back, though, perhaps Morton\u2019s fondest memory of Anesthetic is the song \u201cCross Off,\u201d his collaboration with the late Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. The song features Bennington on vocals, Morton on guitar, Paulo Gregoletto on bass, and Alex Bent on drums (Gregoletto and Bent are the rhythm section of Trivium). \u201cChester was one of the world\u2019s most amazing vocalists and an incredibly creative force. I just hope that \u2018Cross Off\u2019 celebrates that fact,\u201d says Morton.\n\u201cCross Off\u201d was the first time Morton and Bennington had worked together. It was also the first time they had ever met, but you\u2019d never know it from the immediate bond between the two. \u201cWe spent the first two hours in the studio talking about things not even related to the project, things like our kids, family, stuff like that. Making music is very personal, so there must be a degree of trust between the artists,\u201d says Morton. The time the two spent together before recording \u201cCross Off\u201d cemented that trust and made the process almost effortless. Honest feedback was easy\u2014and surprisingly easy, stresses Morton, considering they had just met. They spent the studio time testing out new ideas on each other. \u201cIt was an open creative process. There were no bad ideas. That\u2019s what I hold on to. There was no ego to Chester. And I know for a fact that he loved this song,\u201d Morton remembers.\nMorton is excited to see this project come to fruition. He says that even if this project never saw the light of day, it would\u2019ve been worth it. But make no mistake, Lamb of God fans, because that band is still Morton\u2019s first love. Says Morton, \u201cI\u2019m behind Lamb of God 100%, of course. That\u2019s my job, and that\u2019s my priority. But I had the opportunity to write and record with some of my friends and idols and to build new relationships with people like Josh and Myles. What musician wouldn\u2019t want to do that?\u201d\n\u201cIt was time for a change,\u201d the frontman continues. \u201cIt was time for us to try and stretch our wings. We were really going for songs. The structuring made more sense. I was focused on\nmelody and harmony. I really cut loose. All in all, it was the perfect storm. We had so much fun making this, because there were really no restrictions other than creating a heavy and catchy body of work.\u201d\nFrom Long Island, New York, Moon Tooth set the bar high with their 2016 debut full-length, Chromaparagon \u2013 a fusion of rock, metal, and blues, that bursted with color. Drawing comparisons to Mastodon, Gojira, and Living Colour, Chromaparagon's aggressive, progressive sound possessed a soulfulness and swing that set it apart from the pack. Premier Guitar described the album with these words: \u201cUnbridled turbulence. Dexterous metal riffing. Soulful vocals over layers of melodies and shifting rhythms... An epic journey through countless sonic realms.\"\nIn the wake of that fiery debut, the next three years saw Moon Tooth amass over 1 million Spotify streams, and play their 400th show by way of tours with Intronaut, Fit For An Autopsy, Astronoid, and more.\n2019: the band now gears up for its next chapter. With pre-production handled by the dream team of Machine (King Crimson, Every Time I Die) and Lamb of God's Mark Morton, and production by Moon Tooth drummer Ray Mart\u00e9, sophomore album Crux harnesses Moon Tooth's formidable musicianship into its strongest material to date.\nWith chops as lethal as those wielded by Moon Tooth's four members \u2013 Mart\u00e9, guitarist Nick Lee, bassist Vincent Romanelli, and vocalist John Carbone \u2013 many a band would fall prey to the lure of the jazz odyssey, but Moon Tooth proves its greatness by channeling its skills into concise, crankable anthems. The musical ground covered within just 3-5 minutes on Crux is astonishing, yet the band never loses sight of the big picture. The tech never overshadows the songcraft; Moon Tooth shred like assassins, but only in service of the songs. The result: Crux is an album that belongs equally to the passerby on the street and the musician practicing scales. Moon Tooth's unmistakable vibe flourishes on Crux: soaring vocals, fleet-fingered axe-slaying, and muscular rhythms (and polyrhythms) combine into glorious, hard-rocking hymns. Crux shows a deep respect for classic rock and heavy metal \u2013 Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Rush, and Judas Priest are starting points from which the band zooms into outer space, leaving a trail of vivid, heavy, modern rock. Mart\u00e9's production, boosted by Machine's and Morton's input, puts a world-class shine on the sound, resulting in a feast of metallic crunch and ear-melting hooks.\nCrux delivers on all of Moon Tooth's early promise and will send this band hurtling forward along its path. Frontman John Carbone's lyrics address this very situation \u2013 reaching the crossroads of a normal life and an artist's life, and choosing to commit to the latter. He explains: \"This album is about not giving up. It's about the furious hope that brings fighters back to their feet again and again. Having answered the call to adventure, having grappled with what will surely be only the first set of trials, having sacrificed and lost so much, 'Crux' finds the band at a tipping point. There is nothing left but for the old life to die and the new, true life to begin.\"\nMoon Tooth, live:\nJan 22 - Brooklyn, NY @ Saint Vitus Bar\n2) Omega Days\n3) Through Ash\n4) Musketeers\n5) Thorns\n6) Rhythm and Roar\n7) Motionless in Sky\n8) Thumb Spike\n9) Awe at All Angles\n10) Crux\n11) Raise a Light (Epilogue)\nJohn Carbone - vocals\nNick Lee - guitar & vocals\nVincent Romanelli - bass\nRay Mart\u00e9 - drums & vocals\nEngineered, mixed, and mastered by Ray Mart\u00e9 at Westfall Recording Company, Farmdale, NY\nPre-production by Machine, Mark Morton, and Moon Tooth\nCrux (2019, Modern Static Records)\nChromaparagon (2016, self-released)\nFreaks EP (2013, self-released)\nCover art, by Paul Motisi\nPhotos of Moon Tooth, by Anthony Barone",

        "raw_content": "Last updated February 1, 2019 by Lisa Richards, CNC Reviewed by Katie Stone, ND.\nThe Benefits Of Milk Thistle For Candida\nOne of the questions that we\u2019re most often asked is \u201cHow do I cope with Candida Die-Off?\u201d Die-Off can be a combination of headaches, nausea, breakouts and many other symptoms, and it\u2019s the number one reason why people give up their Candida treatment.\nAn herb named Milk Thistle can help, and you can take it all the way through your treatment. Your body needs all the support it can get to reduce the effects of Die-Off, and that\u2019s where Milk Thistle comes in.\nMilk thistle is a plant with impressive medicinal properties. It repairs your liver and protects it from future damage, and is often used to treat liver conditions. It has been used as a detox remedy for centuries, but also has many other health benefits. (1)\nWhat\u2019s So Great About Milk Thistle?\nMilk thistle\u2019s seeds contain a powerful flavonoid called silymarin, which is an important antioxidant and one of the most potent liver purifiers in nature. Silymarin can give your liver the protection and support it needs to process and remove Candida toxins like acetaldehyde.\nSilymarin supports and protects the liver by optimizing liver function and detoxification. It also helps to repair damage to liver cells from disease, alcohol and drugs. (2, 3)\nSilymarin is known as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory remedy. As well as liver and gallbladder disorders, it can help to promote breast milk production, prevent and treat cancer, and even protect the liver from snake bites, alcohol and other environmental poisons. (4)\nHow Does Milk Thistle Help With Candida?\nWhen the yeast cells in your gut start dying off, you may experience something called Candida Die-Off. As the Candida cells die, they release their toxic metabolites into your bloodstream \u2013 up to 79 of them, in fact!\nThese toxins tend to build up in your lymphatic system faster than your body can remove them \u2013 especially if your liver is already overburdened with waste. As a result, you may experience \u2018Die-Off\u2019 symptoms such as headache, fever, skin breakouts, muscle pain and brain fog. (5)\nThe worst of these toxins include ethanol and acetaldehyde. When these accumulate in your body, they can make you feel pretty terrible.\nAcetaldehyde is particularly harmful. Although it\u2019s usually broken down fairly quickly into acetate, acetaldehyde can still cause serious damage to cells and tissues. Research suggests that it can upset the normal functioning of the cell\u2019s mitochondria, which in turn compromises their breakdown of other toxins. (6)\nThis can create a vicious cycle as the acetaldehyde accumulates and prevents the liver from getting rid of harmful compounds. Acetaldehyde can also cause enzymatic reactions with other molecules such as proteins, changing their structure and function.\nA healthy, efficient liver is crucial for managing symptoms during a Candida cleanse. That\u2019s why we recommend taking a Milk Thistle supplement during your recovery program. We recommend Liver Support by Balance ONE, which contains milk thistle as well molybdenum, NAC, and a total of 11 liver-supportive ingredients.\nMilk Thistle can support not only your liver but many other of your body\u2019s systems. Let\u2019s take a look at the many benefits of this amazing plant\u2026\n7 Health Benefits of Milk Thistle\n1. Milk Thistle Protects The Liver\nSilymarin acts like a gatekeeper for your liver. It works by binding to the outside of the liver cell, fending off toxins by blocking their entry to the liver cell. (7)\nSilymarin also takes care of toxins that have already entered the liver, neutralizing them and thus allowing them to be removed more easily from the body. Neutralized toxins can be converted into water-soluble forms which are then flushed out of the body as harmless waste, either through the bowels, in your urine or in sweat. (8)\nClinical research has shown that this activity helps to support liver health and significantly reduce the risk of long-term damage to the liver.\nMilk thistle is often used by those with alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis and even liver cancer. Some research has also shown it can be effective against poisonous mushrooms, which contain the deadly toxin amatoxin. (9)\n2. Milk Thistle Helps With Digestion\nThe liver is one of the most important organs involved in digestion. It produces bile, which is required for the digestion and absorption of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K). Optimal liver function means healthy digestion and a more efficient metabolism.\nTaking milk thistle as a supplement can significantly improve the rate at which your body is able to break down fats and proteins in the foods that you eat.\nAs well as supporting the health of liver cells and neutralizing the effect of toxins, silymarin has an important digestive function known as a \u2018bitter tonic\u2019. A bitter tonic stimulates the taste buds and digestive juices, promoting the flow of bile. Bitter herbs can be highly beneficial for those suffering from poor digestion. (10)\nWhen used in combination with other herbs such as dandelion, milk thistle can help to optimize digestion and relieve nausea, gas and bloating.\nThose affected by Candida overgrowth often suffer from digestive discomfort, both as part of their Candida symptoms and during a detoxification program. They may find that a bitter tonic containing milk thistle helps to alleviate their symptoms and make mealtimes more enjoyable.\n3. Milk Thistle Breaks Down Candida Biofilms\nMilk thistle is highly recommended as part of an anti-Candida program. As well as helping the liver to ward off harmful pathogens and flush out toxins, recent research has shown that it also protects against fungal overgrowth.\nOne study found that silymarin exhibited a powerful antifungal effect by killing off yeasts such as Candida albicans. It appears that one of silymarin\u2019s properties is an \u2018anti-biofilm\u2019 activity against Candida. This simply means that it prevents the yeast from being able to form the protective biofilm that makes it so difficult to kill off. (11)\nAs mentioned above, it\u2019s common to experience some unpleasant symptoms that may increase as the Candida dies off. This is sometimes referred to as the Herxheimer reaction. It happens as Candida cells break down and release their endotoxins.\nThese toxins can have catastrophic effects on the body, causing symptoms such as headaches, nausea and skin breakouts. Unfortunately, these unpleasant symptoms can put people off their Candida treatment program and make them quit early.\nMilk thistle can be a savior when suffering from these effects \u2013 or in preventing them. Silymarin promotes protein synthesis in the liver, supporting the body\u2019s detoxification pathways. At the same time, it can help to restore damaged liver cells that have been affected by Candida overgrowth.\n4. Milk Thistle Can Support Skin Health\nOne of the many side effects of Candida die-off is skin breakouts and acne. This is often due to the body\u2019s efforts in flushing out more toxins, which may irritate the skin. Animal studies have shown milk thistle to have anti-inflammatory effects when applied topically. (12)\nAcne is a chronic inflammatory skin condition which can be painful and uncomfortable. It can also have severe effects on one\u2019s self-esteem. If untreated, it may even leave scars that cause further damage to the skin.\nMilk thistle\u2019s ability to speed up the detoxification process in the body can also be hugely beneficial for chronic acne sufferers. The liver is involved in the production of hormones which can lead to the development of acne.\nWhen certain hormones accumulate in the body, there may be an overproduction of sebum. This can lead to oil clogging the pores in the skin, which in can contribute to breakouts. Milk thistle helps to clear excess hormones from the body, which is one of the reasons it has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine as a blood purifier.\nWhile the root of skin conditions tends to vary from person to person, research suggests that oxidative stress may play a part. Milk thistle also harbors amazing antioxidant properties, which may also help with acne-related skin conditions.\n5. Milk Thistle Helps to Regenerate Cells\nYou may already know that our liver cells can regenerate themselves naturally. However, when going through a Candida detoxification program, the constant barrage of toxins slows down the regeneration process. This can mean the liver is less likely to keep up with its normal turnover rate.\nSilymarin supports the regeneration of new liver cells by stimulating protein synthesis. This speeds up the production of healthy new cells.\nSilymarin also reduces inflammation in the liver by inhibiting certain pro-inflammatory enzymes, such as 5-LOX, COX, and NFkB. These enzymes produce inflammatory cytokines and other molecules that contribute to liver damage. (13)\nThe most impressive part about this is that silymarin can help to restore the health of a liver that has already been damaged. Its powerful regenerative action boosts the liver\u2019s ability to make new proteins and repair damage before it can get worse.\nIt\u2019s also been found that supplementation with silymarin can prevent liver fibrosis, which is part of the last stage of advanced liver disease. This is all thanks to its mechanisms in protecting normal liver structural cells and blocking them from turning into fibrous cells. (14)\nThis is very important for successful recovery from Candida, as the new cells will replace old or damaged ones. This allows your liver to get on with its many other, important jobs.\n6. Milk Thistle Protects You from Free Radicals\nOne of the most important components of natural detoxification is your body\u2019s ability to produce glutathione. Glutathione is one of the best scavengers of free radicals, which is why the highest concentration of glutathione is in the liver. In fact, the antioxidant activity of glutathione is believed to be ten times more potent that of Vitamin E!\nGlutathione helps to neutralize free radicals by \u201cgiving\u201d one its electrons to the free radical molecule. This makes the free radical harmless.\nMilk thistle is one of the best natural \u2018helpers\u2019 for boosting your body\u2019s glutathione production. It\u2019s been shown to increase glutathione by more than 35%! (15)\nThis is extremely beneficial to anyone who is often exposed to harmful free radicals, such as UV rays, alcohol, food chemicals, pollution, stress and other everyday dangers. Milk thistle also helps to prevent the depletion of glutathione, which is induced by alcohol and other toxins.\n7. Milk Thistle Can Balance Your Blood Sugar Levels\nFluctuating blood sugar levels are a common ailment of men and women around the world. High and unstable blood sugar is linked to Candida overgrowth, and recent research shows that milk thistle may be able to help.\nIt\u2019s been suggested that some of the compounds in milk thistle may work in a similar way to certain diabetic medications. These compounds help to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels. One study even showed that patients who took silymarin supplements regularly experienced a significant reduction in their fasting blood sugar levels. They also showed lower levels of HbA1c, a measure of blood sugar control.\nA study involving patients with diabetes and alcoholic liver cirrhosis found that a daily dose of 600mg silymarin for 6 months resulted in a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose and mean daily glucose levels. This effect was apparent within only four weeks of taking the supplement without causing any further increases in hypoglycemia.\nAn added bonus was that the patients\u2019 insulin requirements were reduced by 20%. The researchers suggested that this could mean milk thistle can help to prevent insulin resistance. The patients\u2019 HcA1c levels were reduced by 0.5% after the full 6 months of treatment. (16)\nIt\u2019s also possible that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of milk thistle may help to reduce the risk of developing diabetic complications such as kidney disease.\nMilk Thistle Is Your Anti-Candida Ally\nCoping with the unpleasant side-effects of Candida Die-Off can be much more manageable with a high quality milk thistle supplement. Your liver needs all the support it can get during your recovery process, and milk thistle is one of the best \u2018liver nurses\u2019 available in nature.\nNot only will it help to protect and regenerate those liver cells, but it can help with a variety of other body systems: blood sugar, skin health, digestion, and protection from free radicals. These actions are all highly beneficial for somebody facing major health issues.\nMost importantly, milk thistle will help you to get relief from the symptoms of Candida overgrowth and Candida Die-Off, which in turn will help to keep you on track.\nOur recommended milk thistle supplement is Liver Support, which contains milk thistle, molybdenum, NAC, and a total of 11 liver-supportive ingredients.\nFiled under: Candida Die-Off, Candida Symptoms, Detox & Cleansing",

        "title": "New and Used Dodge Avenger: Prices, Photos, Reviews, Specs - The Car Connection",
        "raw_content": "Dodge Avenger Research\nThe Car Connection Dodge Avenger Overview\nThe Dodge Avenger, discontinued in the spring of 2014, is a mid-size four-door sedan that might well be invisible if it weren't for its appearance in rental-car fleets across the country. With an all-new Chrysler 200 launched for 2015, the Avenger lost its twin under the skin, and so it's been quietly retired and won't be replaced immediately--if ever.\nFor a more detailed look, see our full review of the 2014 Dodge Avenger, including options, prices, gas-mileage ratings, and specifications. You can also see the Avenger vs. its competitors.\nIn its later years, the Avenger was clearly uncompetitive with perennial segment leaders like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, not to mention the hard-charging and ambitious second-tier entrants like the Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia Optima. While its engine and transmission options were updated, and it received a very mild mid-cycle refresh to its styling, it did not get the full makeover awarded to its sibling the Chrysler 200 (nee Sebring). By the end of its seven-year model life, the Dodge Avenger was outdated and sold almost entirely on price.\nLaunched in 2008 to replace the old Stratus sedan, the Avenger was updated to make it more competitive following Chrysler's 2009 bankruptcy and takeover by Fiat. Its interior was completely renewed in 2010, it got a new and more powerful V-6 engine in 2011, and a new six-speed automatic transmission in 2012. The car's last model year was 2014.\nThe Avenger's bold styling camouflaged an unremarkable sedan that struggles to compete with more refined competitors. Historically, materials and build quality were an issue for the Avenger, and its safety ratings always lagged the competition. In IIHS crash tests, the Avenger scored \"good\" ratings for front and side protection; the newest models of the Dodge Avenger earned a four-star rating in Federal tests.\nThe Avenger made its 2008 debut with a choice of three engines: a base 2.4-liter four-cylinder came with base cars, while higher-priced versions could be outfitted with either a 2.7-liter V-6 or a 3.5-liter V-6. All-wheel drive was offered for a short time, but has been deleted as Avenger sales have dropped. The Avenger's cabin is spacious, and its chunky styling has some appeal, but it's become a rental-car special because of its uncompetitive handling, acceleration, and general refinement.\nFor the 2010 model year, the Avenger returned with just two powertrain options. The 173-hp four is among the least pleasing four-cylinders in the Avenger's class, which includes the Ford Fusion and Volkswagen Jetta and the Hyundai Sonata. The smaller V-6 engine has been dropped, leaving the front-drive Avenger with its top engine choice as the 235-hp V-6. With this engine, a sport-shift six-speed automatic is the only transmission offered--and it's got issues, with a hesitation in downshifts. Fuel economy ranges from 21 mpg city, 30 highway, with the four-cylinder to 16/27 mpg with the V-6. Handling on the R/T edition is suitably tight, but other features suffer from a bouncy ride and plenty of road and powertrain noise.\nThen 2011 and 2012 both brought some good news. The 2011 Avenger got Chrysler's new 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, making 283 horsepower, and it's a vast upgrade in refinement and responsiveness. Likewise, the mid-range SXT four-cylinder model, for 2012, gets a six-speed automatic that helps make the most of the four-cylinder engine. The Avenger was carried over for two more model years, 2013 and 2014, with only a few minor changes and a few new options, including an enhanced Rallye Appearance package with dark-tinted headlamps and a body-color grille.\nDodge for a short time confused its own market with a bevy of new trim lines, retracting them after just one model year. For instance, the 2011 Avenger was offered as the Express, Heat, Mainstreet and Lux, while the 2012 Avenger was offered in SE, Rallye, R/T and Lux trims.\nThe nameplate of Avenger actually started life as a two-door coupe built on Mitsubishi underpinnings in an Illinois plant run by the Japanese automaker. That car, sold from 1995 to 2000, offered handsome lines that disguised its origins as a Mitsubishi Galant--or, in Chrysler terms, a Dodge Stratus sedan.\n2014 Dodge Avenger 4-Door Sedan SE\nTotally Unreliable Car!\nI bought my 2014 Dodge Avenger brand new and it has been in the shop on a regular at least twice a year. It is a lemon! I would not buy one if I were you! The Alternator alone was $600.00 with parts and labor... I bought my 2014 Dodge Avenger brand new and it has been in the shop on a regular at least twice a year. It is a lemon! I would not buy one if I were you!

        "title": "Southern Dems Won\u2019t Rise Again",
        "raw_content": "One of a handful of Democrats left in Dixie says maybe only Hillary Clinton\u2014or the National Hockey League\u2014can save his party in the South.\nIn the office of Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen, between memorabilia devoted to political career, his native Memphis and favorite musical artists like Big Star and Warren Zevon, there\u2019s is a picture of all of his Democratic colleagues who lost in the Republican wave of 2010.\nIn an interview there in November, Cohen got up from his chair and pointed to the picture, \u201cThere are the boys who lost in 2010. I\u2019ve kept them up here. A lot of good people lost and shouldn\u2019t be forgotten.\u201d Like Cohen, many of these casualties were white Democrats from below the Mason-Dixon Line. Now, the Memphis congressman is one of only a handful of white Southerners in his caucus and the once Solid South is deep red. But is it gone for good from the Democratic column?\nEven as recently 2006, when Cohen was first elected, a majority of congressmen in the delegations from states like Tennessee, North Carolina, and Arkansas were Democratic. Now, with Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu poised to lose her runoff on Saturday, Republicans are clearly a majority party in Dixie. Democrats cling to only to handful of redoubts, often districts gerrymandered by Republican legislatures to be majority black. This is the culmination of what Cohen described with relish, using a name coined by a GOP operative, as \u201cOperation Ratfuck,\u201d a concerted Republican effort to divide legislative districts in the South along racial lines, leaving Democrats in the minority and represented almost exclusively by blacks. The result was \u201ca perfectly executed coup for the GOP\u201d according to Tom Schaller, a professor of political science at University of Maryland, Baltimore County and author of Whistling Past Dixie, and one that has left Republicans in control of every state legislature and congressional delegation in the former Confederacy. And it seems to have worked.\nCohen referenced the famous statement of Lyndon Johnson that, by signing the Civil Rights Act, the Democratic Party was losing the South for a generation. \u201cIt\u2019s come to pass and really a lot of white Southerners vote on gays and guns and God and we\u2019re not going to ever be too good on gays and guns and God.\u201d The Tennessee congressman thought his party would no longer to be able to appeal to those evangelicals and Baptists who believe in \u201ckeeping prayer in school and have the Ten Commandments posted or tattooed on your tongue or your wrist\u2026 It\u2019s just not party of the Democratic agenda, which is tolerance and personal choice.\u201d\nThe one hope that Cohen sees for his party is populism. He noted that while Elizabeth Warren was good on that issue, it was unclear if she\u2019d be \u201ca champion accepted in the South.\u201d After all, although she was born in Oklahoma and spent part of her life in Houston\u2014which Cohen called \u201cthe Republic of Texas\u201d\u2014she\u2019s popularly viewed as a Bostonian. But he was pessimistic about the prospect of this working, \u201cfor years and years and years Southerners haven\u2019t really understood that their economic interests lie with Democrats. I\u2019ve seen it all my life in Memphis or wherever, they divert the attention away and get it on the social issues and basically guns, and gays and God.\u201d\nThis meant that Cohen was one of a handful of white Democrats left in Congress from the South. The lifelong Memphis resident discounted Gerry Connolly from Northern Virginia, which wasn\u2019t Southern, and dismissed Ted Deutsch from South Florida as coming from the Hamptons of the South. Lloyd Doggett from Texas was from Texas, which was its own country. Instead there were just three left besides Cohen: David Price from North Carolina, John Yarmuth from Louisville, Kentucky, and Jim Cooper from Nashville. Even in this group, Cohen didn\u2019t quite fit. He represents a majority black district in Memphis, where he had the highest approval rating of any politician and was far to the left of traditional yellow dog Democrats. The progressive Cohen even sarcastically joked that another congressman was \u201ca communist just like me.\u201d\nThere was some small sliver of hope that Democrats could regain some lost ground in 2016 with Hillary Clinton on the ballot. Cohen noted that because \u201cBill Clinton is still absolutely totally loved\u201d in Arkansas, there was a chance that the former secretary of state could win there. Plus, he noted \u201cHillary will get all the women out to vote.\u201d But, other than that, he thought her map simply included the two Southern states that voted for Obama in 2008, North Carolina and Virginia.\nIt wasn\u2019t necessarily that Cohen wrote off the rest of the South. He had a key indicator for where Democrats might have a chance\u2014the presence of an NHL team. \u201dWherever there\u2019s a hockey team, there may be a chance.\u201d Hockey was a sign of Northerners immigrating to the South. In particular, he noted in North Carolina, where the universities and tech companies of the Research Triangle have had a huge impact. \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe you\u2019d have hockey in Raleigh.\u201d He still held out hope in Georgia because changing demographics, particularly the influx of Latinos. Plus, he thought that throughout the region that marijuana legalization could have some appeal from white voters afraid of \u201cgetting busted\u201d who want to let their \u201cfreak fly.\u201d But otherwise he was far more pessimistic about the rest of the Deep South. After all, as the Tennessee congressman pointed out, \u201cnot much chance in Mississippi and Alabama cause there\u2019s no hockey.\u201d\nCohen was still pessimistic overall. Because of the extreme gerrymandering, which had packed minority voters into a handful of districts\u2014a tactic that he has introduced legislation to stop\u2014Cohen thought Democrats had little chance of picking up additional House seats. \u201cI don\u2019t see any House seats coming back at all. It\u2019s weird\u201d he said while shaking his head. In the meantime, Cohen could recite the names of the colleagues lost like a rabbi reading the names of the deceased up for Yahrzeit. Lincoln Davis and John Barrow and Larry Kissell and Travis Childers and on and on it went. All Cohen needed to do was add \u201cof blessed memory\u201d after each political casualty was mentioned.",

        "raw_content": "Strippers, Cocaine and Murder: The Crazy (True) Story of Two Crooks\u2019 Pursuit of a Soviet Submarine\nThe new documentary \u2018Operation Odessa,\u2019 premiering March 31 on Showtime, is one helluva wild ride.\nOperation Odessa is such an unbelievably wild, entertaining documentary that the dullness of its title is a borderline crime against itself.\nThis is a movie (premiering on Showtime March 31) whose primary subject is a Russian gangster named Tarzan! Who owned a Miami strip club named after his favorite film, Porky\u2019s! And with his close cohorts\u2014a Miami playboy and a Cuban drug trafficker with close ties to Pablo Escobar, who remains to this day an international fugitive\u2014this sleazy crook tried to buy a military submarine from the Russians on behalf of Colombia\u2019s Cali drug cartel! With a premise like that, Tiller Russell\u2019s non-fiction crowd-pleaser deserves a moniker far more colorful than its current one, which comes from the name of the government\u2019s operation to catch these high-flying madmen. Grand Theft Submarine, perhaps?\nRussell\u2019s story wastes no time getting to its insanity. In an introductory interview clip, Ludwig Fainberg, aka Tarzan\u2014a stout Russian man with a well-kept goatee and a smile that radiates equal pride and disbelief at his own behavior\u2014recalls a phone conversation with one of his contacts about the aforementioned purchase, which ended with the question, \u201cDo we want the submarine with missiles, or without missiles?\u201d Cue the Miami Vice-ish credit sequence of a cigarette boat racing across the water set to the sounds of Scorpions\u2019 \u201cWinds of Change,\u201d replete with \u201cstarring\u201d and \u201cintroducing\u201d designations for its cast of outrageous characters. Far from stolid non-fiction terrain, we\u2019re in Cocaine Cowboys territory here: a stylish world of gleeful bad guys boasting about their very bad behavior for our shocked amusement.\nAs we soon learn, Tarzan immigrated to Brighten Beach, Brooklyn, in 1980, and immediately decided that the best way to take advantage of this wondrous land of opportunity was to become an enforcer for New York\u2019s Gambino crime family. His specialty, as he explains with charming self-satisfaction, was arson, although the occasional beating or two wasn\u2019t out of the question if circumstances demanded it. \u201cWe were a little bit rough,\u201d he says of his work, which he likened to \u201can illegal collection agency.\u201d Alas, that career was short-lived, as the murder of his partner told him it was time for a change of scenery. A plane ticket later, and he was in Miami, which U.S. Attorney Dick Gregorie and U.S. Marshall Mike McShane describe as a drug-infested modern-day \u201cCasablanca.\u201d\nIn his new home, Tarzan set about establishing the aforementioned gentlemen\u2019s club named after Bob Clark\u2019s 1981 sex comedy\u2014which speaks volumes about both his tastes, as well as his subtlety. It was a ritzy establishment whose astounding fortunes were predicated, at least in part, on its then-novel idea of having porn stars come in to do featured shows\u2014such as one (recounted by Porky\u2019s former manager, \u201cFat Tony\u201d Galeota) that involved customers paying $5 each to drive dildos attached to remote-controlled cars into the performer\u2019s crotch. \u201cHe classed the place up,\u201d says Fat Tony. Before long, Tarzan was the go-to guy for Russian mobsters, and his fortunes skyrocketed further thanks to his new friendship with exotic cars wheeler-dealer Juan Almeida.\nAnd he was introduced to him by none other than Vanilla Ice.\nThat\u2019s right: it was the \u201cIce Ice Baby\u201d rapper who first facilitated Tarzan\u2019s meeting with Almeida, at the celebrity-filled Fort Apache Marina where the latter did much of his business selling boats, Ferraris, and other expensive goods to the rich and powerful (and the cartels). The two were instant friends. And when the Soviet Union disintegrated in 1990, they saw a chance to make an absolute killing. On a trip to Moscow, Almeida discovered that law and order had disappeared from the country, and everything\u2014literally, everything\u2014was for sale. \u201cIt was just a complete free-for-all,\u201d he remembers, with a look that says he still can\u2019t quite comprehend the golden goose that landed in his lap.\nIn their newly-recorded interviews, Tarzan and Almeida prove both easygoing and uninhibited, which goes hand-in-hand with director Russell\u2019s fast and fleet aesthetics\u2014full of split screens, archival photos and movies (including government video and wiretap audio), propulsive soundtrack tunes, and flashy montages to introduce each new locale. Though this duo might be capable of shouldering an entire documentary themselves, they\u2019re soon joined by Nelson \u201cTony\u201d Yester. A man deeply embedded with Escobar\u2019s Medell\u00edn cartel, Tony had a notorious reputation as \u201ca really bad guy\u201d\u2014he was once caught with 41 passports, and featured on his own 1999 episode of America\u2019s Most Wanted\u2014and that\u2019s confirmed by his confession, in a 1992 surveillance recording, that he doesn\u2019t like to kill, but sometimes it has to happen because \u201cthat\u2019s how it works.\u201d\nDespite Tarzan and Almeida\u2019s stated conviction that Tony would never agree to participate in Operation Odessa, that\u2019s precisely what he does, speaking to Russell in a jet and an airport hanger in an undisclosed location. His origin story is basically the real-life version of Scarface, and since he found Tarzan and Almeida to be his kindred spirits, they naturally all began working together. Their partnership was consummated with a deal to acquire two enormous Russian Kamov helicopters, whose twin rotors allowed them to carry enormous payloads\u2014perfect for drug kingpins in need of moving tons of cocaine to and from jungle manufacturing plants. The problem wasn\u2019t buying the choppers, however, but getting them out of St. Petersburg\u2014an obstacle that eventually required Almeida to pose as Escobar to a bunch of lethal Russian gangsters.\nThat successful deal made the trio \u201cthe talk of Colombia,\u201d and led to their subsequent plan to purchase a submarine from the Russians. The specifics of that attempted transaction, and the government\u2019s attempts to shut down the crew\u2019s entrepreneurial activities, is a saga that gets progressively crazier as it goes along, and Russell treats it as an extended tall tale designed to provoke incredulous laughs\u2014which it does in spades. Operation Odessa is a brash account of cartoonishly horrible people trying to get away with murder (sometimes literally), and reveling in discussions about their own unlawful adventures.\nRegardless of the (wholly reasonable) comments of its law enforcement talking heads, Operation Odessa is devoid of any real critical perspective, because the wickedness of Tarzan, Almeida and Tony speaks for itself. And it\u2019s their obvious over-the-top immorality, in turn, that makes them such fascinating and funny desperados, and what renders Operation Odessa such a disreputable blast\u2014its dull title notwithstanding.",

        "title": "Across the Great Divide: David Finkel's Iraq | The Nation",
        "raw_content": "Across the Great Divide: David Finkel\u2019s Iraq\nAgainst the background of the surge, David Finkel twists the concept of wartime good into a cosmic joke.\nDAVID FINKEL Gen. David Petraeus and Lieut. Col. Ralph Kauzlarich, 2007\nIn Washington, they read. Foreign policy decisions made by men and women in suits, understandably too busy to embark on a fact-finding mission to every war zone, disaster area or human rights debacle, often depend on the labor of reporters (who report) and experts (who filter raw eyewitness accounts into something historically and politically resonant, primed for the partisan echo chambers). In October, in the thick of the Beltway debate over the best course of action in Afghanistan, the Wall Street Journal observed that White House and Pentagon policy-makers were studying two histories that draw divergent lessons from the Vietnam War. (The article did not challenge the plausibility of the Afghanistan-Vietnam analogy itself.) One, Lessons in Disaster, by Gordon M. Goldstein, warns about the dangers of accepting military advice as gospel; the other cautions against bowing to popular dissent and discontent when a counterinsurgency fight is still winnable. According to the Journal, the latter book, A Better War, by former Army lieutenant colonel and CIA official Lewis Sorley, had already \u201cshaped the debate over the 2007 troop surge in Iraq: Military commanders and top Pentagon civilians pushed the book ardently on surge skeptics, winning important converts.\u201d Of the two books, A Better War was not the one positioned on President Obama\u2019s nightstand.\nA study like Sorley\u2019s, although culled from oral interviews and tape recordings of combatants, still gets written at some remove from actual combat. Those who extrapolate policy from the author\u2019s conclusions are heading straight for its revisionist lessons without firsthand experience of the mistakes. The pain of combat is immediate, but the consequences of war can take decades to suss out\u2013otherwise, Vietnam wouldn\u2019t be today\u2019s hot topic on Capitol Hill. The big question, for all the election-year calls to \u201csupport the troops\u201d and \u201cthink of the soldiers,\u201d is whether the cognitive (and, of course, physical) distance between the volunteer forces who fight Uncle Sam\u2019s wars and the elected officials who declare war can ever be narrowed. Exploring that chasm is what gives the recent world-historically depressing British comedy In the Loop, which portrays the run-up to the Iraq War as a series of petty ego clashes between cynical spin doctors, its bitter kick.\nNations and their leaders have no more existentially fraught responsibility than their power to declare war. And in Washington, and everywhere else that isn\u2019t on the field of battle, we read, ideally, in hopes of discovering what war is like, though any soldier will tell you we can know nothing about what it is. Because to be sent to war is to be ordered to commit acts of justified murder.\nWith The Good Soldiers, David Finkel aims to say nothing more about war than can be said definitively. Finkel, a Washington Post reporter who was awarded a 2006 Pulitzer Prize for a series explaining a US-funded push for democracy in Yemen, embedded himself in the 2-16 Army infantry battalion (nicknamed the Rangers) in the spring of 2007, as it prepared to enter Iraq as part of the last-ditch counterinsurgency mission known as \u201cthe surge.\u201d The almost outlandish advance praise heaped on The Good Soldiers (Geraldine Brooks said it \u201cmay be the best book on war since the Iliad\u201c) only serves to underscore the paucity of direct coverage of the soldiers during this war. And unadulterated views of war are ever harder to come by: the military recently tightened its regulations on photographing soldiers killed in action, and the Pentagon\u2019s continued dependence on unmanned Predator drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan means that even soldiers aren\u2019t seeing the full contours of the global battlefield.\nAs an embedded reporter, Finkel opts to remain invisible, unlike other journalists who have written distinguished material from inside Iraq, including Evan Wright, the author of Generation Kill (whose Marines open up to him when they discover he used to write for Hustler) and Dexter Filkins, author of The Forever War. Eschewing moral judgment, policy proposals and military techno-babble, Finkel writes concisely and vividly about trauma and regret, leaving us defenseless against the steadily accruing collateral damage of combat. This is not a new story. Still, to borrow the first sentence of the Ford Madox Ford novel whose title Finkel\u2019s reprises, this is the saddest story I have ever heard. Amid the protracted debate about troop deployments in Afghanistan that has considered seemingly every voice but that of the soldiers, The Good Soldiers offers a searing reminder of the human cost of escalation.\nThe book\u2019s title, innocuous at first glance, is a provocation. With its echoes of the twentieth century\u2019s \u201cGreat War\u201d\u2013Ford\u2019s novel, published in 1915, is set on the eve of World War I\u2013The Good Soldiers acknowledges the irony of a search for heroism in a conflict that conscientious observers had already written off as a mistake, and one that could no longer even hold the attention of the American public. It\u2019s not that we are bored with battle. We just prefer a fight that\u2019s gift-wrapped in nobility. Ken Burns\u2019s fourteen-hour, seven-part documentary The War, a pie-eyed tribute to the heroes of World War II, captivated 18.7 million viewers on the first night it was aired in the fall of 2007, when the 2-16 was not yet halfway through its tour. In The Good Soldiers, the Rangers mournfully refer to their colonel, Ralph Kauzlarich, as \u201cthe Lost Kauz,\u201d a nickname that links him implicitly with a worthless war and a lame-duck president. But as the book\u2019s first sentence makes clear, the soldiers weren\u2019t calling him that on April 6, 2007, when Finkel first joined the 2-16. If this wasn\u2019t the good war, they would still be the good soldiers who could stanch the bleeding of a mismanaged, trillion-dollar campaign and rescue Iraq from a dystopian nightmare.\nIf The Good Soldiers has staying power, it\u2019s not as a historical document of the surge, even though that tactical sea change is the context for the question posed by the book\u2019s title. The surge, which handed Bush\u2019s mess to Gen. David Petraeus, a wartime leader with actual battlefield experience, would rekindle some of the messianic fervor that accompanied the taking of Baghdad in 2003. Kauzlarich\u2019s 800-troop battalion (average age: 19) thought its mission would entail the protection of supply convoys in western Iraq, but with the president\u2019s announcement of \u201cThe New Way Forward,\u201d the troops were headed straight to the heart of a de facto Iraqi civil war. \u201cWe\u2019ll be the difference. My battalion. My soldiers. Me,\u201d Kauzlarich thought. \u201cMeaning restored, Kauzlarich closed his eyes and thanked God.\u201d\nBut despite the moral imperative of the surge, Finkel immediately twists the concept of wartime \u201cgood\u201d into a cosmic joke. He weaves several set pieces around \u201cit\u2019s all good,\u201d the mantra Kauzlarich repeats to himself to keep his thoughts about the war orderly and trim, at least in those supposedly halcyon days of April 2007. Kauzlarich says it waking up in the morning, inhaling the bitter Baghdad air. He says it while driving in his Humvee as he passes through neighborhoods where more and more improvised explosive devices are shredding the limbs, skin and torsos of American soldiers, and he says it when he learns that the 2-16\u2019s deployment has been extended from twelve months to fifteen. \u201cIt could seem like a nervous tic,\u201d Finkel writes, \u201cor a prayer of some sort. Or maybe it was a declaration of optimism, simply that, nothing more, because he was optimistic, even though he was in the midst of a war that to the American public, and the American media, and even to some in the American military, seemed all over.\u201d It\u2019s all good, gung-ho, nowhere to go but up\u2013all good, that is, until his first soldier dies, US fatality 3,267 in a war of choice.\nKauzlarich, now 44, is the perfect tragic foil for a book that aims to drain war of its vitality. Full of optimism, a healthy dose of fear and unremitting respect for President Bush, the Kauz seems to incarnate the American fighting spirit. \u201cThere was an underdog quality to him, which made him instantly likeable, and a high-beam intensity to him, which at times would emanate from him in waves,\u201d Finkel writes. \u201cAnd if there were things the army resisted in him, there were things about the army that he resisted as well\u2013insisting, for example, that he would never want a posting that would put him inside the Pentagon, because those postings often went to sycophants rather than to true soldiers, and he was a true soldier through and through.\u201d In Finkel\u2019s free indirect narrative style, it\u2019s unclear whether we\u2019re reading the imagined thrust of the colonel\u2019s interior monologue or the author\u2019s straightforward analysis; but either way, Kauzlarich is a recognizable amalgam of archetypes. He\u2019s part Patton, whose men would readily do something dangerous \u201cnot out of intimidation but because they didn\u2019t want to let him down,\u201d and part Joe Sixpack, a husband and father of three, confident but scared, believing \u201cin destiny, in God, in fate, in Jesus Christ, and in everything happening for a reason, although sometimes the meaning of something wasn\u2019t immediately clear to him.\u201d\nIn any war, the reporter stands in a privileged position, seeing many sides at once. Soldiers in the fight are too busy to cultivate an omniscient perspective, and the men and women back home can\u2019t understand the desperate measure of sitting in a Humvee with one foot planted in front of the other, so that if a roadside bomb explodes it would destroy just one foot, not two. Finkel seems equally attuned to the prerogatives of bureaucrats, families and fighters, and recognizes the difficulty of empathizing with another point of view. \u201cTo [the soldiers], it was about specific acts of bravery and tragedy. The firefight in Fedaliyah\u2013that was the war. Three dead inside a fireball on Predators\u2013what else could a war be?\u201d Finkel\u2019s favorite rhetorical device is the sentence that slices a tragic trajectory through time, or compresses space to emphasize causality. \u201cThe soldiers of his who would be injured were still perfectly healthy, and the soldiers of his who would die were still perfectly alive.\u201d When Kauzlarich\u2019s first soldier dies, Finkel uses a single page to cut between the platoon sergeant writing an incident report, the battalion doctor finishing a death report, the Pentagon preparing a news release and Kauzlarich on the phone preparing to answer a tearful mother\u2019s most anguished question: \u201c\u2018Instantly,\u2019 he said.\u201d\nThe thirteen chapters of The Good Soldiers are masterworks of compressed narrative. Each chapter is pegged to a single day of the 2-16\u2019s sixteen-month tour, and each is prefaced by a remark of Bush\u2019s about the surge that more often than not registers as hopelessly at odds with facts on the ground. One chapter begins with the president\u2019s statement, \u201cI\u2019m optimistic. We\u2019ll succeed unless we lose our nerve.\u201d This is how it ends, at the conclusion of another dead soldier\u2019s memorial service:\nHere, six versions of what nerve can mean filed out of the chapel.\nMays went back to his Ambien.\nHamel went back to his furniture.\nBailey went back to his loops around the FOB.\nWheeler went back to his what-ifs.\nMarch went back to his slide show.\nAnd Kauzlarich, red-eyed too now, went back to his office.\nWhen our men in Washington and Baghdad finally meet face to face, in a particularly compelling chapter chronicling Petraeus\u2019s visit to the battalion, Finkel exploits a cinematically precise juxtaposition of scale. Kauzlarich, a master of detail, prepares to brief the four-star general, who was by late 2007 an unlikely international celebrity, by ensuring the makeshift conference room is stocked with cookies, muffins, fresh fruit, coffee and Petraeus\u2019s standby, Diet Coke. When the megawatt general walks onto the scene, he expresses his gratitude for the spread by reaching for a single grape, and then gets down to business.\nThe meeting grows disturbing as it unfolds because Petraeus\u2013so revered in news profiles (as well as Thomas Ricks\u2019s authoritative history of the surge, The Gamble) as a nuts-and-bolts counterpoint to Washington\u2019s clueless war hawks\u2013is given a briefing that\u2019s an airbrushed version of what the infantry platoon has just been through. Eager to please his hero, Kauzlarich relays very little of his soldiers\u2019 actual difficulties with swaying Iraqi hearts and minds. It\u2019s a failure of communication that cuts both ways:\nin the United States, where three dead on Predators might be mentioned briefly somewhere inside the daily paper under a heading such as FALLEN HEROES or IN OTHER NEWS, and the firefight in Fedaliyah wouldn\u2019t be mentioned at all, it was about things more strategic, more political, more policy-driven, more useful in broad ways. Three dead? Yes, damn, how sad, and God bless the troops, and God bless the families, too, and this is exactly why we need to get out of Iraq, to honor the sacrifice, and this is precisely why we need to stay in Iraq, to honor the sacrifice, but you know what? Have you seen the numbers? Have you seen the metrics? Have you seen the trend lines?\nThe chasm between over here and over there is central to another heartbreaking sequence, when the wife of a severely wounded soldier transferred from Iraq to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, remembers a visit from President Bush. Finkel recounts not only what the soldier\u2019s wife said to the president\u2013\u201cThank you for coming\u201d\u2013and not only what she wished she had said to him\u2013\u201cHe doesn\u2019t know how it feels\u201d\u2013but why she hadn\u2019t said it: \u201cBecause I felt it would not have made any difference.\u201d Communication is fruitless, because if Bush can\u2019t see the problem staring at him from that hospital bed, he\u2019s already living on too remote a planet.\nFinkel rarely attempts to develop his soldiers as three-dimensional characters, but he uses scrupulous descriptions to establish the intimacy of danger. When a piece of shrapnel comes flying through a door, \u201cit sliced through the metal frame of his bed, sliced through a 280-page book called Learning to Eat Soup With a Knife, sliced through a 272-page book called Buddhism Is Not What You Think, sliced through a 128-page book called On Guerrilla Warfare, sliced through a 360-page book called Tactics of the Crescent Moon, sliced through a 176-page Calvin and Hobbes collection, sliced through the rear of a metal cabinet holding those books, and finally was stopped by a concrete wall.\u201d Because this soldier was sleeping on his side, the shrapnel missed him by an inch. And so a new day begins. There\u2019s a reason these warriors cite Groundhog Day more often than Black Hawk Down.\nThe Good Soldiers has little to say about the plight of ordinary Iraqi civilians, most of whom remain inscrutable to the platoon, though at one point an exasperated Kauzlarich calls them \u201cthe most ungrateful fucks I\u2019ve ever met in my life.\u201d But Finkel does dedicate a poignant chapter to the story of \u201cIzzy,\u201d the platoon\u2019s fearless and indispensable Iraqi interpreter, paid between $1,050 and $1,200 a month to face all the risks of combat and then some, without even the mitigating benefits of military camaraderie. As an Iraqi, he can never truly become \u201cone of them.\u201d And to fellow Iraqis, he\u2019s a traitor.\nThere is another, less flattering defi-nition of a \u201cgood soldier,\u201d one that seems caught somewhere in Finkel\u2019s blind spot. Obedience to authority is a time-tested military credo, and those soldiers who rise to higher rank are the ones who respect the chain of command. Ralph Kauzlarich, the book\u2019s flawed but unequivocal hero, was also, at least at one point, this very type of good soldier.\nIn Afghanistan, in April 2004, Ranger Pat Tillman was accidentally killed by soldiers in his own platoon. (The Army initially asserted that Tillman was killed in an Afghan militia ambush.) The incident immediately drew media attention because eight months after September 11, Tillman had abandoned a promising professional football career (and a $3.6 million contract) and enlisted in the Army alongside his brother Kevin. The same Kauzlarich of the 2-16 was the Army officer who directed the first official inquiry into Tillman\u2019s death. While he wrote a recommendation for Tillman\u2019s posthumous Silver Star\u2013which helped spur a misleading, Jessica Lynch-style promotion of Tillman\u2019s death for political purposes\u2013he did not push to find out the identity of the shooter. \u201cI don\u2019t think it really matters,\u201d he told ESPN Magazine. Kauzlarich likely had good intentions, seeking to spare his troops any further emotional turmoil.\nBut in his zeal to protect the military, Kauzlarich wound up disparaging the family of a fallen soldier. In a brazenly tone-deaf statement, he said that the reluctance of Tillman\u2019s parents to accept the results of the military\u2019s investigation was the unfortunate result of their lack of Christian faith. (Kauzlarich is an evangelical Christian. Tillman was not religious.) As Kauzlarich told ESPN: \u201cWhen you die, I mean, there is supposedly a better life, right? Well, if you are an atheist and you don\u2019t believe in anything, if you die, what is there to go to? Nothing. You are worm dirt. So for their son to die for nothing, and now he is no more\u2013that is pretty hard to get your head around\u2026. So I don\u2019t know how an atheist thinks. I can only imagine that that would be pretty tough.\u201d An outraged Representative Henry Waxman called the comments \u201ccrass\u201d and \u201ccompletely inappropriate,\u201d and officially requested that the Pentagon discipline Kauzlarich. To make things even worse, for himself and the armed forces, Kauzlarich acknowledged that Tillman\u2019s Silver Star recommendation was an irregular decision. \u201cI mean, had the story come out that he had been killed by his own guys, then it probably would have been looked at differently,\u201d he said.\nThe Pat Tillman saga is one of the most striking cautionary tales of the post-9/11 era, for the way it seems to reduce modern war to a hero industry\u2013no different from Hollywood but with far more immediate and harmful ramifications. In this story, Kauzlarich was not one of the good guys. His role is mentioned in Jon Krakauer\u2019s comprehensive new book about Tillman, Where Men Win Glory, but Finkel elides Kauzlarich\u2019s minor infamy. In The Good Soldiers, Kauz\u2019s ESPN comments are folded into a paragraph about his general candor and honesty, and never mentioned again. For a book that seeks to dispense with euphemisms and bring the sacred soldiers back down to earth, the lack of interest in Tillman is baffling. (If ever there was an illustration of the gulf between battlefield objectives and Washington PR, this is it.) After all, with Kauzlarich at the helm, the 2-16 is not just some arbitrary battalion. Given Finkel\u2019s literary mindset, how could he not suspect that Kauzlarich\u2013more \u201cthe lost Kauz\u201d than the book lets on\u2013might see the surge as an attempt to both win the war and rehabilitate his own image? The story of his involvement in the Tillman saga would have only further underscored the book\u2019s distinctive seeing-everything-at-once narrative dynamic. It\u2019s an untapped dramatic vein in an otherwise unflinching chronicle. One wonders if Finkel, bowing to military decorum by ignoring these extra layers, opted to play the good soldier himself.\nAs such, The Good Soldiers inadvertently acquires a cumbersome cloak of irony. It\u2019s a book about the illusory (or at least quotidian) nature of heroism that can\u2019t help but succumb to hero worship. From an embedded reporter thrown onto the battlefield with a pen and notebook, this worship is common; the men with guns are his only protection against a hellish environment. One could even infer a sort of wish fulfillment, because when your life is in danger you want to be surrounded by heroes. And this may be the Washington Post reporter\u2019s most profound takeaway from his trip across the great divide: that no amount of skepticism, critical distance or genuine awe can insulate you from the emotional bonds formed in combat. All faults and disagreements can fall away in a moment\u2019s euphoria, in that secret place where \u201cwar is hell\u201d gives way to \u201cit\u2019s all good.\u201d I imagine we\u2019d have to be there to understand.\nAkiva GottliebAkiva Gottlieb is a writer in Los Angeles.",

        "title": "The Devil Made Us Do It | The Nation",
        "raw_content": "The Devil Made Us Do It\n\u201cGod Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder,\u201d the satirical magazine The Onion has proclaimed, citing \u201cHis confusing propensity to alternately reward and punish His creations with little rhyme or reason.\u201d Given His omnipotence, it\u2019s hardly surprising that God often drives people crazy: His affliction becomes our own. Consider the violent mood swings, between ecstasy and despair, that characterized historic religious revivals. As eighteenth-century evangelist Jonathan Edwards attested, \u201cThose who are saved are successively in two extremely different states\u2013first in a state of condemnation and then in a state of justification and blessedness.\u201d There is method to this madness, Edwards explained. God wanted us to appreciate the \u201cevil from which he delivers us, in order that we may know and feel the importance of salvation.\u201d\nMore than 200 years later, Americans are still wrestling with evil, quite literally, according to sociologist Michael Cuneo. In American Exorcism: Expelling Demons in the Land of Plenty, he examines popular notions of demonic possession and rituals of deliverance from evil. Exorcism is a \u201cbooming business\u201d (if not a highly visible one), Cuneo claims, particularly among charismatic Protestants and Catholics. The Catholic Church has been skeptical of demonic-possession cases, he notes, but \u201cmaverick priests\u201d began performing exorcisms during the 1970s and \u201980s. Meanwhile, Pentecostalism, an ecstatic form of worship institutionalized in the early 1900s, involving spirit baptism and speaking in tongues, began to influence mainline Protestant churches, contributing to the rise of charismatic \u201cdeliverance ministries.\u201d\nWhat inspired a cultural preoccupation with demons? Tracing the apparent rise of demonology in late-twentieth-century America, Cuneo attributes contemporary interest in exorcism partly to popular entertainments (the 1973 film version of William Peter Blatty\u2019s The Exorcist is often cited for inspiring belief in possession). He also sees in the demand for exorcisms a stereotypically American quest for reinvention. Cuneo attended \u201cdozens\u201d of exorcisms and talked to \u201chundreds\u201d of people (Catholic and Protestant) who believe that demonic possession (or the lesser evil of demonic affliction) are routine occurrences in contemporary America. \u201cUntold numbers\u201d of ordinary middle-class people believe that they have been possessed or afflicted by demons and have undergone exorcisms, he asserts.\nIt\u2019s difficult to evaluate this claim: You can\u2019t substantiate, much less confirm, a number that\u2019s \u201cuntold.\u201d According to Michael Cromartie, director of the Evangelical Studies Project at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, there was a surge of interest in exorcism in the 1970s, but ministries that practice exorcisms or deliverance rituals constitute a very small, almost imperceptible subculture of conservative Protestantism today. Cuneo\u2019s evidence of exorcism\u2019s entrenched popularity is mainly anecdotal and circumstantial. In addition to accounts of the exorcisms he\u2019s witnessed and the exorcists he\u2019s interviewed, he relies on cultural indications of a widespread belief in demonism, like hysteria about satanic cults that emerged in the late 1980s and early \u201990s.\nBut whether exorcisms and an underlying belief in demonic influences are practically mainstream or merely fringe phenomena, they\u2019re worth considering, partly because they demonstrate the connections between religion and therapy in America. Cuneo is both a skeptical and sensitive observer; if his work does not stand up as social science, it includes some astute social criticism. As he observes, these outr\u00e9 religious rituals and beliefs mirror the preoccupations of popular therapeutic culture (partly because some popular therapies are rooted in religion). The notion of addiction promoted by the recovery movement resembles possession: Addiction is a disease of the will that takes control of its victims and can be cured only by surrender to the will of a Higher Power. The notion of demonic affliction promoted by some deliverance ministries, according to Cuneo, resembles addiction: Sometimes people are delivered merely from unwanted habits and impulses\u2013like gluttony or lust (what a twelve-stepper might call a sex or food addiction). And, like familial dysfunction, demons can apparently be inherited: Some people, it seems, suffer from \u201ccongenital demonism\u201d or \u201ctransgenerational evil.\u201d\nAs it made its way into American culture, demonism became rather banal, Cuneo observes: Exorcism \u201cwas converted\u2026 into a kind of suburban home remedy,\u201d and by the early 1980s, middle-class charismatics were seeking to expel their \u201cdemons\u201d of anger, resentment, frustration, lust and addiction. Like co-dependency, demonic affliction was apt to be blamed for a multitude of \u201csymptoms\u201d from which everyone was bound to suffer, or simply for a sense of discontent or unease. \u201cI felt there was something inside me, holding me back, dragging me down,\u201d one woman says, describing her affliction. An exorcist recalls delivering a woman from \u201cseventy different demons\u2013demons of lust and violence and duplicity\u2013they just kept manifesting.\u201d It\u2019s not hard to imagine the same woman being diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, had she been in recovered-memory therapy instead of church. Meanwhile, people engaged in psychotherapy talk about exorcising demons.\nSome of the exorcists Cuneo interviews lament the trivialization of demonism and advise some people demanding exorcisms to seek counseling instead. Others who are less honorable or more certain of their own righteousness, as well as their ability to identify demons, engage in \u201cblatant emotional manipulation,\u201d Cuneo writes: Just as recovered memory therapists supplied their patients with incest stories, some prayer groups pressure people into acknowledging that they\u2019re demonized. A belief in your own affliction may be hard to resist, Cuneo surmises, if you want to participate in the agony and ecstasy that deliverance provides. And once delivered, you can be part of an elite, like someone who has survived co-dependency or been enlightened by therapy.\nOf course, a sociological analysis of exorcism or any form of therapy seems uninformed, unenlightened and insulting to people who believe in demons (literal or metaphoric) and consider themselves saved by an exorcism, a twelve-step group or some other curative ritual. Cuneo suspects that exorcisms conducted with compassion and humility can be genuinely therapeutic, whether the demons they expel are real or imagined. But, as he observes, the dearth of hard data makes it impossible to know whether exorcisms are generally helpful or hurtful. There are no longitudinal studies of people who\u2019ve undergone exorcisms (just as there are virtually no reliable outcome studies of various pop therapies). All we have is the personal testimony of believers.\nCuneo seems surprised that exorcism can flourish in contemporary America; despite his sympathy for the possessed and the exorcists who try to help them, his book has the tone of an expos\u00e9.

The housekeeper\u2019s press conference, a month before election day, provided the final nail in the coffin of Whitman\u2019s campaign. Latinos were outraged over the mistreatment of someone Whitman said was like a member of her family, and Republicans were outraged that Whitman merely fired her housekeeper and didn\u2019t report her for immediate deportation.\nOn election day, Whitman won the votes of only 13 per cent of Latino voters. She lost to Jerry Brown, 54 \u2013 41 per cent.\nThe back pay settlement came after a three-hour hearing before the state Division of Labor Standards Enforcement on Wednesday.\nThe LA Times noted in an editorial that Whitman\u2019s campaign expenditure of $144 million amounted to $36 for every vote she got, and that the $5,500 she owed her housekeeper amounted to \u201cthe price of a mere 152 more votes.\u201d\nFox News called the settlement \u201cchump change.\u201d With the money she spent on her campaign, they calculated, Whitman could have settled with 25,455 housekeepers.\nThe lesson for candidates seems clear: the people who work for you should be paid what you owe them.\nActually that lesson applies not just to candidates, but to all employers.",

        "raw_content": "On the path to dictatorship\nAbol hassan Banisadr\nDictators always need to justify the concentration of power within themselves. Josef Stalin, for example, argued that because political power belonged to the Soviet proletariat and that the Communist Party was its manifestation, as leader of the Party, he manifested (and could exercise) its power himself. This enabled him to establish a totalitarian regime. In Germany, Adolf Hitler argued that that political power belonged to a \u2018superior\u2019 Aryan race, and that its manifestation was the National Socialist party.\nIn his inauguration speech, Donal Trump also revealed this intention when he said: \u201cToday\u2019s ceremony\u2026has very special meaning, because today, we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, DC, and giving it back to you, the people.\u201d\nUnlike rights which everyone has, power needs to concentrate in one person or privileged group. It was obvious that when Trump spoke about giving power back to the people, he was in fact saying \u2018power belongs to me\u2019. This is why after leaving the inauguration he went directly to the Oval Office and started issuing executive orders. He exercises power on their \u2018behalf\u2019.\nFurthermore, when he spoke about the \u201cspecial meaning\u201d of this transfer, in effect he was saying that as he is the manifestation of people\u2019s power the administration and the power of the state has to be at his personal service. This is why when the acting US Attorney General disobeyed him he did not simply fire her but declared it an act of betrayal. As a leader who seeks total power and demands total obedience, anything short of either is a betrayal.\nWe must also pay attention to Trump\u2019s slogans about putting \u2018America first\u2019 and \u2018making America great again\u2019. The United States can only become \u2018first\u2019 in international politics if the rest of the world\u2019s countries play a subservient role. The factors which elevated the US to a dominant position have fundamentally changed.\nFor example, when the US became a \u2018superpower\u2019, Asia was nowhere to be seen. Now, many of these country, like China, it is wealthier and more developed than the US, and without Chinese money the American budget deficit would sky rocket and inflict a body blow to the American economy (which is not the biggest debtor in the world). If Trump tries to reverse the situation with the use of military, it only can make things much worse.\nIf fact, Trump and his team present an existential threat not only to the US but to the world. History tells us that the path to democracy is not a one-way ticket and can be reversed. Now American democracy is facing its strongest test since the Civil War. It is not strong enough to protect itself against power partly because its bureaucracy is based on the principle of hierarchy.\nTherefore, the task of defending democracy is left to American civil society. If the parts of this society which it seem to have understood the danger, do not mobilize their forces to resist the fast-expanding power of it elected dictator, America\u2019s demise will be accompanied by the demise of democracy and the post-democratic age in which, more than fifteen years, the academics are talking about will be solidified.\nThis article has been excerpted from: \u2018Is Trump on the Path to Dictatorship?\u2019",

        "raw_content": "Adnan Adil\nAltering Kashmir\nUnnerved by the latest round of Kashmiri intifada, New Delhi has stepped up military and non-military aggressive measures against the Kashmiri population in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK). The recent decision of the IOK state government to grant domicile certificates to 20,000 non-Kashmiri Hindu families is one such step.\nThe settlement of outsiders in the IOK is part of a long-term plan of the Indian establishment that is altering the region\u2019s demography to dilute the Muslim population. Further, this huge mass of outsiders in IOK serves as an intelligence-gathering network against the freedom movement. In fact, India is emulating in Kashmir whatever Israel is doing in Palestine \u2013 fencing the LoC, using settlements to alter demography, using pellet guns, discarding the United Nations\u2019 resolution and attempting cross-border raids.\nOn December 23, the domicile issue sparked a fresh bout of street protests and clashes between protesters and the occupying forces in many parts of the Kashmir Valley, including Sopore, Srinagar and Bandipora districts. The police lobbed tear gas shells and used lathis (batons) to disperse the crowds. IOK\u2019s political parties from across the spectrum have condemned the state government\u2019s move and have vowed to resist it.\nJammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief Yasin Malik was arrested when he tried to lead a protest rally in Srinagar over this issue. Before his detention, Malik said Kashmiris will not hesitate from spilling their blood to protect the Muslim majority character of the state. The settlers, who had allegedly migrated from Pakistan, include only 20 Muslim families.\nMalik also condemned the Indian Supreme Court orders \u2013 in which it permitted outside banks to seize and hold properties in IOK \u2013 and termed it part of the conspiracy to change the state\u2019s demography. Communist Kashmiri leader Yousuf Tarigami warned New Delhi against \u201cviolating and eroding the special status of J&K\u201d.\nThe National Conference has described the issue of domicile certificates \u2018a first step towards getting them permanent resident status and property rights in the IOK\u2019. The party spokesperson Junaid Azim Mattu said, \u201cGranting refugees state subject rights is tantamount to leaving the law meaningless. That is something we will not allow at any cost\u201d.\nIn this sinister game, New Delhi enjoys the support of IOK\u2019s Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. She loses no opportunity to please her masters and appeals to anti-Kashmiri sentiments of Hindu extremists. In one of her vile attempts to appease her bosses in New Delhi, she described Kashmiri Muslims as cats and pandits as pigeons.\nThe Indian establishment has raised the controversy of domiciles to non-Kashmiris at this time when the valley has been on boil for the last six months following the cold-blooded murder of Burhan Wani in the Anantnag district. Indian leaders and intellectuals, including some from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) visiting IOK, have testified to the gravity of unrest in the region and its indigenous nature, falsifying the media propaganda against Pakistan.\nThe former union minister, Yashwant Sinha, who along with four other eminent citizens visited IOK twice in the last few months, reportedly said in a recent interview to The Hindu that \u201cthe narrative in Kashmir Valley was a very strong feeling of betrayal and of discrimination against the Kashmiri people by the rest of India and that the most important example of this sense of betrayal was over the use of pellet guns which were not used in any other place apart from Kashmir Valley\u201d.\nIndian newspaper The Telegraph has reported that since July 2016, over 12,000 Kashmiris had been sprayed by pellet barrages that left many blinded for life. According to figures reported in the Indian media, Indian forces martyred more than 140 Kashmiri freedom fighters in IOK in 2016.\nSince July 2016 radicalisation among the youth has been on the rise and more and more Kashmiri young men have been joining the freedom struggle. Former chief minister Omar Abdullah remarked, \u201cBurhan\u2019s ability to recruit into militancy from the grave will far outstrip anything he could have done on social media\u201d. A new breed of freedom fighters have emerged \u2013 tackling them will be a challenge for the occupying forces once snow starts melting in the coming months.\nOn November 25, an Indian writer Jean Dreze wrote in his article in The Hindu, \u201cThe Indian Army is perceived, almost unanimously, as an occupying force, and people are fed up with the controls, crackdowns, searches, arrests, beatings, torture and pellet guns. The most common graffiti found around towns and villages of Kashmir is: Go India, go back\u201d.\nThe claims of Indian Army\u2019s surgical strikes on September 29 in Azad Kashmir have not weakened the resolve of Kashmiri freedom fighters. In December, an Indian army convoy in Kashmir\u2019s Pampore came under attack. Military casualties for the Indian forces have also risen. In 2016, by their own official account, the Indian armed forces deployed in IOK have lost more than 63 men compared to 33 in 2015 and 32 in 2014.\nIn these conditions, granting IOK domiciles to non-Kashmiris is a clear message from New Delhi \u2013 it will employ all possible means to keep the occupation of Kashmir and that it has no regard for the wishes of the Kashmiri people. What matters most for the government of Narendra Modi is pleasing its Hindu extremist constituency at home. The domicile decision may win some extra votes for the ruling party in the forthcoming state elections at home but it has further inflamed the Kashmiri population.\nThere are signs that Kashmiris will forcefully resist this sinister move. As winter recedes, agitation in the Kashmir Valley is set to intensify. The state government will either have to suspend the implementation of this order or take it back. Israel is not a good model for India. The sooner the Indian establishment realises this reality, the better it will be for the security of the region.",

        "raw_content": "The Afghan hat-trick\nThe US is fast losing the war in Afghanistan \u2013 if it has not already lost. It is, by all means, just a matter of time before Donald Trump makes an announcement to withdraw all troops from Afghanistan.\nThe nation-building of the Afghans has proved too daunting a task for the Americans. For some reason, the Americans stretched the scope of a purely punitive mission that followed 9/11 and turned it into a large-scale institutional reconstruction effort which has both consumed the entire funds of the Marshall Plan for all of Europe and cost the US more than 7,000 lives.\nIt has been 15 years and the war still goes on with no traces of victory, neither in the near future nor for the next 100 years. Afghanistan is a true graveyard of superpowers. The humiliation faced in Afghanistan by the British in 1841, the USSR in 1989 and the US after 2001 shows that the Afghans have completed a hat-trick with three superpowers in three consecutive centuries.\nWe have paid heavily for all these successes of the Afghans in one way or the other. In the 19th century, no one survived from among the 12,000 Indian camp followers who were accompanying 4,500 British troops. For the USSR\u2019s defeat in the 20th century, we lost thousands of citizens who fought by the side of the Afghan mujahideen. As far as the recent defeat of the US is concerned, we have been forced to \u2018sacrifice\u2019 more than 50,000 of our people as a blowback to our policy of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds.\nNow what? We are almost sure that the US is going to withdraw from Afghanistan. It is also likely that the Kabul government \u2013 known for corruption and incompetence \u2013 is going to crumble down. There is also a likelihood that the Taliban are going to rule most of Afghanistan, if not all.\nWe have two possible post-US scenarios. The first \u2013 which is the US\u2019s best bet \u2013 involves the formation of a unity government with the Taliban in its fold under a power-sharing formula and a guarantee that Afghan soil will not be used to endanger US security. The second scenario is that the US might be forced to abandon Afghanistan, with its fate left to the infighting of different warring factions \u2013 the Taliban being the most formidable one.\nThere is no denying the fact that Pakistan\u2019s role will be significant in determining which one of the two scenarios will actually be realised. It would therefore be appropriate to assess the pros and cons of both options, from a Pakistani perspective.\nFirst, we must consider the unity government. The prospects of peace, democracy, stability and self-rule by the Afghans appear to be the lure of this option. But lesser leverage, the greater influence of India and the baggage of the Karzai-Ghani era may negatively affect Pakistan\u2019s interest.\nSecond, a lawless Afghanistan with major areas under the Taliban control. A secure western border, the decimation of the TTP, greater leeway in Afghan affairs, the reduction in tensions along the Durand Line and friendly Muslim neighbourhood are some of the positives. But the predictable inability of the Taliban to establish rule all over Afghan territory indicates the pitfalls: perpetual disorder, bloodshed, Balkanisation and obscurantism.\nWhile the first three dangers relate to the Afghans, the fourth one \u2013 obscurantism \u2013 has an inbuilt capacity of spilling over to Pakistan, undermining its continued struggle for a democratic and modern state.\nThere is no doubt that it will be a tough decision. But it will be a decision that will have far-reaching consequences for our future as a nation and a state.\nThe best decision can only be taken if the civilian bosses take the lead, for the first time in our history, with valuable input from the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, the Foreign Office and the relevant parliamentary committees and independent experts.\nThe writer is a former diplomat and currently practises law.",

This is the harsh reality of asylum seekers who have recently reached our ports of entry and are turned back by US officials, only to wait indefinitely for a chance at refuge in America that may never come.\nNotwithstanding the recent change in US policy on family separation, the outlook for asylum seekers at the border remains bleak. Despite the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s claim that it\u2019s a \u201cmyth\u201d that the US is turning asylum seekers away at ports of entry, our team at the border has witnessed officials doing exactly that.\nConsider Laura\u2019s story.\nBy June 12, 29-year-old Laura and her 6-year-old son Nicolas had been sitting on the hot sidewalk of the Brownsville-Matamoros International Bridge for three days, just 20 feet away from a plaque that marked the international boundary line between Mexico and the United States. Sitting in the shade of a jury-rigged bit of canvas, Laura explained that she had left her native Honduras, intent on escaping her violent husband, a police officer who would beat her with impunity because pleas to her government were ignored. She had made her way through Mexico, heading to Matamoros where she had hoped to cross into the U.S. through a port of entry to apply for asylum.\nLaura had heard that the United States had begun separating parents from their children, but she believed that coming through a port of entry would protect her and her son from that new form of government-sanctioned terror. Laura obviously had not heard that she could still have Nicolas taken from her at the port of entry, as has happened to a number of families over this past year.\nLaura\u2019s hopes and good intentions ran into a gauntlet formed by three US Customs and Border Protection officers standing just on the US side of that boundary marker. The officers were stopping and turning away anyone who had intended to request asylum from entering the United States.\n\u201cThey keep telling me to go come back later, that there is no room for people like me (asylum seekers), and that I should try again in five or six hours,\u201d Laura explained. \u201cBut I have been here for three days, along with these other people waiting here, and no one gets in.\u201d\nAlthough a stiff breeze from the Gulf swept across the bridge, the heat was sweltering and the sun merciless. There were no water fountains or restrooms. Laura and the other families camped out on the Mexican side of the boundary were depending upon the kindness of strangers for their necessities. The people waiting on the bridge were miserable, and they were becoming desperate. One supervisor, when confronted about a mother and child who had been sitting on the bridge for days, candidly admitted, \u201cI don\u2019t really care.\u201d Other CBP officers acknowledged that a supervisor, in fact, can allow an asylum seeker to cross the boundary line.\nMore than six weeks have passed since Laura and Nicolas were sitting on that bridge, just a couple of feet from Brownsville. We do not know what has happened to them or to the others who were enduring the hellish misery over those long days. Perhaps, in the end, Laura had been let through the bridge checkpoint and allowed to make her application for asylum. And perhaps she and her son were allowed to be together, or maybe they were separated. Maybe Jeff Sessions and Kirstjen Nielsen\u2019s underlings forced Laura into the Sophie\u2019s choice of choosing to be deported with her son or to be separated from him. Perhaps Laura gave up on coming into the US at the port of entry and took her chances by crossing through the river. The uncertainty can drive an advocate mad, but it pales to the agony these families go through.\nThis article has been excerpted from: \u2018At US Ports of Entry, the Government Is Denying Asylum to Those Seeking Refuge\u2019.",

        "raw_content": "US-China standoff\nWith new US tariffs on Chinese goods in place, the US-China trade war has gone up another notch. Another $16 billion worth of goods from China must now clear US Customs by paying tariffs. China has promised to continue to hit back. As it stands, the US and China have both slapped each other with a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion worth of one another\u2019s goods. China, for its part, has remained on the back foot, refusing to be the first aggressor and continuing to call out US bullying. The real killer is likely to be the third round of tariffs on another $200 billion worth of goods, which could kick in next month. For now, China has promised to mitigate the effects for foreign business operating in the country, since it wants to protect its carefully cultivated status of the go-to country to outsource manufacturing. A number of American companies have complained to the US Trade Representatives Office that the tariffs were harming US business \u2013 but it is unlikely that President Trump will care. Economic populism is not grounded in benefiting all and Trump is happy to act like a strong man and pretend that the measures would benefit the US economy.\nThese measures by the US also confirm the failure of the World Trade Organization, given the agenda of free trade. The same agenda has been imposed on a number of developing countries, which has led to their local industries collapsing as well as unmanageable import bills. But there have been no sanctions forthcoming from the WTO for the US, which has chosen to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada and the European Union. China has announced that it will be taking the matter to the WTO once again; the WTO has yet to rule on its first complaint in July this year.\nTalks between US and Chinese officials have ended without a breakthrough. The longer this goes on, the more fears will be that the effects will spill on to the global economy. The IMF warns that this could shave 0.5 percent off global economic growth in two years. Morgan Stanley estimates show that it could knock around one percent off the global GDP. The American car industry, which already needed a bailout in 2010, is among those industries that have been affected. The big question is whether the free-market era can survive the rise of China as a major economic force. The current US policies are dealing a death knell to the idea. While the global economy will suffer, if it results in greater national freedom to decide trade policies, it might not be the worst outcome.",

Recent analysis of over 450,000 seed crowdfunding campaigns across the globe revealed that women-led campaigns reached their funding target more often than male-led campaigns.\nCampaigns led by women across the world in 2015 and 2016 were 32 per cent more successful than those led by men across a wide range of sectors, geography and cultures. For Europe the figure was 14 per cent.\nIn Europe, we have during recent years seen some amazing success stories. Two Italian girls, Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo raised funding in 2011 for their company which was based in a tiny kitchen in Milan. Their products and services, took financers - both crowd funders and venture capitalists \u2013 by storm.\nGetting more women to start and scale up their business is a key to Europe\u2019s economic growth, explains Lowri Evans.\nIs fear of failure holding back women entrepreneurs?\nBarbara Matera: EU entrepreneurship suffering from gender gap\nMadi Sharma\u200b: No EU democracy without gender equality\u200b\nCommission guide: European SMEs need a more 'level playing field' to succeed\nPetra Kammerevert\u200b: Lack of entrepreneurial skills is blunting Europe's competitive edge\u200b\nLinda Liukas\u00b4 Kickstarter campaign in 2014, raised $380,747 from just over 9000 backers for the publication of her series of children\u2019s books teaching programming fundamentals through stories and kid-friendly activities.\nOur recent event in the European Parliament entitled \u2018We are shapers, we are doers, we are what we want to be\u2019 focused on the development of digital entrepreneurial skills and the use of crowdfunding as a mechanism to fund new start-ups and social enterprises around Europe seen from the women\u00b4s perspective.\nSpeakers highlighted many of the barriers that women in Europe still face such as old-fashioned career counselling, an unwillingness to take risks and a deep-rooted fear of failure among women. Also issues surrounding the general lack of role models, work-life balance issues and an inherent bias within financial institutions providing access to finance were highlighted.\nAs the leading multi-stakeholder platform for women in tech in Europe, we believe, that it is time for an EU Action Platform aimed at encouraging women into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) entrepreneurship, as this is key to Europe\u2019s future digital economy.\n\"Our recent event in the European Parliament entitled \u2018We are shapers, we are doers, we are what we want to be\u2019 focused on the development of digital entrepreneurial skills and the use of crowdfunding as a mechanism to fund new start-ups and social enterprises around Europe seen from the women\u00b4s perspective\"\nWe are now engaged in the implementation of the EntreComp framework and we have, in the framework of the Commission\u00b4s Grand Coalition for Skills and Jobs initiative, in collaboration with 17 national public-private stakeholders, academia and NGOs, launched the Women and Girls Go Digital Greek National pledge during the Greek EU Presidency in 2014 and we will continue to roll-out this National Action platform model across the EU.\nOur uWawme toolkit is a 21st century skills and a crowdfunding module, e-learning platform and social media community developed by the WaW Partnership by the University of Strathclyde,the Centre for Life Long Learning, Glasgow UK; Folkuniversitete\nChange occurs, however, only when there is commitment at the highest level and gender balance permeates the entire organisational culture.\nWe are therefore calling on the European Commission to consider gender equality in the digital field as an essential element of the EU\u2019s strategy and to include gender perspective in all actions within the Digital Single Market Strategy.\n\"We are therefore calling on the European Commission to consider gender equality in the digital field as an essential element of the EU\u2019s strategy and to include gender perspective in all actions within the Digital Single Market Strategy\"\nWe want to reiterate the need for gender sensitive indicators for Europe's digital performance and for transparency of gender measures within EU ICT funding programmes and initiatives\nWe also want to stress the importance of Increasing European funding opportunities for female entrepreneurs and call on the Commission to take the gender perspective into account by giving also visibility to female role models in all communication campaigns within the framework of the Digital Single Market Strategy.\nEva Fabry is director of the European Centre for Women and Technology (ECWT)",

        "raw_content": "7 Tips for Buying and Using Gift Cards\nBuying gift cards this holiday season is easier then ever, but using them wisely is another thing.\nBill Hardekopf\nUpdated Dec 17, 2012 10:15 AM EST\nNEW YORK ( LowCards.com) -- Buying gift cards this holiday season is even easier with the growing availability of virtual gift cards. Ordering is done online, and an email is sent to the recipient with the details needed to claim the gift.\nGift cards continue to show significant increases each year. According to a survey by the National Retail Federation, 81.1% of consumers will buy at least one gift card this year and spend an average of $156.86 on gift cards. The NRF predicts total spending on gift cards will hit $28.8 billion.\nIt is also a gift that can be easily forgotten. From 2005 through last year, $41 billion on gift cards went unspent, according to The Wall Street Journal.\nAlso see: 5 Gift Cards To Avoid For Holiday Shopping >>\nStore brand gift cards are bought and used only at a specific retailer or groups of retailers. These cards typically have no fees and never expire. Target ( TGT) shoppers can send a digital gift card to a recipient by scanning a QR code on an in-store display. Amazon ( AMZN) virtual gift cards can be bought in almost any amount, from 15 cents to $2,000. Restaurant.com offers discounts for e-gift cards to participating restaurants across the country, such as a card valued at $25 for just $10.\nA general purpose card, such as a Visa ( V) gift card, is a universal card and can be used wherever Visa debit cards are accepted. Gift amounts can be for any dollar amount between $20 and $200, but there is a $4.95 processing fee associated with each gift. For a general purpose virtual gift card, the recipient simply presents the printed virtual card at the time of purchase. If there is a remaining balance, you will be given a plastic gift card for the remaining value. The American Express ( AXP) e-gift card may be used at merchants in the United States that accept the American Express card. Because there is no physical card associated with an e-gift card, it may not be accepted by merchants for in-store purchases.\nHere are some consumer tips for buying and using a gift card:\nUse them before they expire. Merchant and bank-issued gift cards must now be good for five years, thanks to CARD Act provisions. Reloadable cards can expire five years after the money was last added.\nResearch the fees. Read the terms and conditions of the card carefully. Some cards charge fees, such as a monthly fee after 12 months of inactivity.\nIf you will not use the card, or would prefer to have the cash, you can resell the card. There are several sites, such as PlasticJungle.com, CouponTrade.com and GiftCardGranny.com, serving as a marketplace to buy, sell or exchange virtual gift cards. Most cards sell at a 5% to 10% discount, or you may get as much as 80% to 90% back for selling. Some cards are worth more than others, and the price can vary between sites.\nThere are limitations on where the virtual card can be used. It can't be used on cruise lines, at ATMs or for recurring charges.\nAlso see: 10 Best Gift Cards for Holiday Shopping >>\nThe \"valid thru\" date for a gift card is the date through which your physical plastic gift card or e-gift card number may be used. This date is required to process transactions at merchants that request an expiration date. Even if the \"valid thru\" date associated with a card has passed, its available balance remains unchanged and intact. To keep making purchases with your available balance after a card's \"valid thru\" date has passed, you may have to call customer service.\nKeep the card number and four-digit card security code in a safe place. You will need these to check the balance or report it if it is lost or stolen. If your virtual card is stolen, you might get a replacement with the value equal to the available balance on the card at the time it was stolen.\nPurchases made with virtual gift cards don't have the same protections as credit cards. Merchandise bought with the card is subject to the merchant's return policies. Purchases made with the virtual gift card are similar to those made with cash. You cannot stop payment or lodge a billing dispute on purchases made with the card. Any problems or disputes you have regarding a purchase should be addressed directly with the merchant.\nBill Hardekopf is chief executive of LowCards.com, which compares and rates more than 1,000 credit cards.

        "raw_content": "If you\u2019ve been anywhere near YouTube lately, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen a million \u201cDraw My Life\u201d videos. I love watching them and had thought about doing my own, but I\u2019m not really a YouTuber so I decided to do a written version\u2026 blogging style. I\u2019d love to hear your own life stories too, so if you want to take this blogging prompt and go with it, feel free to link up your own post below!\nI was born in the city and my family moved us to the country when I was two years old. I lived in that same house until I was able to move out on my own.\nMy brother is three years, three months, and three days older than me, and growing up we were never really that close, but I looked up to him and thought he was the coolest person. In our early years, both of my parents worked so we were babysat over at my neighbor\u2019s house. She was a mean woman and thinking back on it I don\u2019t know why we didn\u2019t tell our parents about how cruel she was. I distinctly remember one time when she brought all of the kids over to our house to use the above ground pool in our backyard. We were running around the edges making a whirlpool and she was standing on the outside. As I ran past her, she grabbed my head and dunked me under the water\u2026 holding me there. She knew that I always refused to stick my head under so I think she did this to humor herself. One day, my brother and I were outside waiting for our parents to arrive home and he told me that he found some coins and that we should bury them in our garden so that when we break out of the babysitter\u2019s we will have some money. So we did, and they\u2019re probably still there.\nA few years later, my mom left her job and decided to start her own home babysitting business. My mom was always involved in helping out at the school I went to and was basically just known as being a nice person. In fact, I cannot ever recall her getting angry or swearing or anything like that when we were kids. I\u2019ve never heard my mom swear, ever! My dad was the manager of a metal plant and we used to build things together. Barbie houses, cat houses, wood crafts. I used to think he was the best!\nI went to a public school that was just up the street, so was lucky enough to never have to catch a bus and usually rode my bike with friends. Since our town was so small, my class grew up together. The exact same people beside me in the same classes in every grade for my entire kindergarten through grade 8 life. I enjoyed school, but I also was mysteriously sick all the time. I remember moments before my mom sent me off to school where I would just stand there and think to myself \u201cI can\u2019t go to school today I feel sick.\u201d so would tell my mom, and actually physically make myself sick. Now I realize that this was the earliest days of my anxiety and I wish that somebody would have noticed it earlier. I had 65 sick days one year, and thankfully my grades were always good and I was always able to keep up with the work because otherwise I\u2019m sure they would have failed me. My mom spent countless days taking me to the doctors trying to figure out what was wrong with me, and there were never any answers, and there wouldn\u2019t be because I now realize it was all in my head.\nAround grade four, my life started to change. My dad was an alcoholic and it was the first time I began to realize what that actually meant. I discovered that he had this secret life where a bottle was more important than his family and wasn\u2019t the awesome person I thought he was. I realized that my mom wasn\u2019t happy. The school had me see a therapist every Tuesday, and we just talked about life and stuff, and him. My classmates didn\u2019t understand why I had to leave the room every week and I never told them.\nAbout a year later, I got really into drawing and writing. I was always drawing, but this is when I actually decided that I wanted to get better and had my mom sign me up for these cartooning classes for kids. My teacher\u2019s name was Gary and he used to play the voice of a rat character in the Muppets. He was amazing and I was so inspired by him and his attitude. The classes were held in the back of his art supply store and those were probably some of the best times of my childhood.\nSoon after, I wrote a book called The Dust Bunnies and created all of the artwork for it and everything. It was about a fluff of dust (with bunny ears) that ran away from home and had a great adventure along the way. There was a life lesson in it and everything! My principal got a hold of it from my teacher and called me into his office. I thought I was in trouble when he asked me \u201cDid you write this?\u201d I nodded. He then proceeded to tell me that I should get it published. I didn\u2019t get it published, but it was the encouragement I needed to continue writing. I wrote and wrote and wrote.. Poems, stories, even attempts at novels.\nIn high school, it was hard for me to make friends with people at first. I think that having been split up from that one group of kids that I shared classes with every day and thrown into this sea of 2500 other people was overwhelming to say the least. There was one girl who I had met at an orientation and we totally hit it off because we were huge fans of the same band. We became instant friends. I had made it into the school\u2019s art program after auditioning (you had to audition in my school\u2026 it was a special school for the arts) and she was in my class! I met another group of awesome friends who lived in my area and we had some of the best times together. We spent what seemed like every moment hanging out at each others houses and just being crazy teenagers. I still miss those days. They were carefree and full of laughs. I even experienced my first kiss (it was gross by the way\u2026 saliva all over the place! I laugh every time I think about it), and first high school boyfriend, which I think only lasted 2 weeks.\nThe next year, everything changed. I felt like that tight group of friends abandoned me and went their separate ways. I became closer with that girl I mentioned and we started going to concerts together. We met two new guys in our school who were a year older and dated them. This was my first longer-term relationship and it felt magical. We all had so much fun together. And then one day something tragic happened. We were out at the movies when my friend\u2019s mom called and said that my boyfriend\u2019s mom needed him to go home immediately. She picked us up and drove us to his house. There were cop cars and lights flashing. We were scared but she wouldn\u2019t tell us what was going on. After we let him out of the car she turned around and told us that his dad has just killed himself. He shot himself in their shed. After that things weren\u2019t the same. I tried to help him out the best I could, and even got the school to let him stay after they told him he could no longer attend there (I think because he was missing classes or something and like I said before, you have to audition to get into the special programs and when not pulling your weight you can be dropped). We were okay for a while, but then things came to an end.\nMy parents decided to separate. My dad\u2019s alcoholism had become too much for any of us to handle anymore, and his many failed attempts at rehab became frustrating. I hated him for this. He had lost his job due to his problems and it was useless trying to help him anymore. All of the stuff we dealt with over the years emotionally were because of a stupid drink. I was so happy that my mom finally put her foot down and decided that it wasn\u2019t worth her (and her kids) being miserable all the time. When he left, the house felt like a weight had been lifted. I remember my grandmother saying that we all had a different vibe about us. It was what needed to happen.\nDuring this time is when I discovered my love for music and rockstar stalking. Going to events and concerts with my art school friend turned into a whole new life outside of class. We skipped school some days for shows, stayed in hotels, camped out at venues, and just had an all around crazy time while chasing band boys. I met some of my best friends during these years, all of which to this day I still talk to, as well as my best best friend who was almost like my sister. I stopped hanging out with the arty girl eventually for various reasons, but when high school ended, my new groupie friends and I had just started our adventures. We snuck into shows, had hotel parties, drove far and wide for events, we became friends with some of our favourite musicians, we experienced things that only us would understand and remember for a lifetime.\nI went to visit my dad for the first time at his newer place with my brother. It was probably one of the worst memories of my life because he said hello to my brother, and then asked who I was. He didn\u2019t even know who I was! I felt so small and angry. By this time, the alcohol had pretty much taken over his mind. Like, seriously ate away his mind. He had hallucinations and would call our house all the time saying the weirdest stuff. He truly believed that I lived with him (only I think I was a younger version of myself, and apparently was 2 inches tall and lived in a potato chip bag) and he would ask my mom time and time again to come and pick me up because I wouldn\u2019t leave. I honestly don\u2019t even know how he managed to live on his own for so long. If there is anybody who has seen the full extent of what alcohol can really do to somebody, it\u2019s this girl! I realized at that moment in his apartment that my relationship with him was over. That was the last time I saw my dad.\nI met my new boyfriend and was head over heels for him. I got my dog, Bear, and then I decided around that same time to get my own place in Toronto and leave the nest. I was terrified and excited. I couldn\u2019t wait to have a place to call my own but I had never lived anywhere else before, and I had no idea what I was in for. My new apartment was a couple blocks away from my boyfriend, so I\u2019m pretty sure I was most excited about that. Moving day came and went, and that night I felt like I was living that Taylor Swift song Never Grow Up. I laid in my bed all alone and wondered if I had done the right thing. It felt so weird. I was no longer down the hall from my mom and I was in the middle of a random city. And all of my stuff was there. There was no going back, and I freaked out a little bit. It didn\u2019t take long to get comfortable with my new space though and soon I was fine with being on my own. Although, every weekend I visited my mom she would cry when I left!\nAround this time in Toronto my anxiety started to come back. I didn\u2019t want to go out anywhere besides my boyfriend\u2019s place. I would never admit this and was always quick to make an excuse about why I didn\u2019t want to go out. Everyone was oblivious, and I was great at hiding it. About a year and a half later, he randomly broke up with me. I was crushed. The worst part was that he didn\u2019t even have a reason. He just kept saying that he just didn\u2019t want to be in a relationship, and I didn\u2019t understand because we were supposed to be in love. We did love each other, which is why it was so strange. Or at least we thought we did. There were no signs at all. It took a long time for me to get over that. The worst part was meeting up with him a month later to and having him tell me that he was dating somebody else. Burn.\nI became isolated. I turned myself off from friends and even my best friend in the entire world, who had been by my side since our band loving days. I made the decision to move out of the apartment and buy a condo in another part of town. I thought it would be a good investment and would have rather paid a mortgage than rent. My realtor and I found a place on the first floor of a nice building. I signed the papers and it was mine! I lived there for about 2 years I think. Had another relationship, and ended it when Dustin came along. You can read that story on my about page.\nWhen Dustin moved in it was life changing. I\u2019d always been on my own and didn\u2019t really know how to have a room mate. Thankfully we made it work. Since he was American, we struggled with immigration documents and getting him legalized so he could actually work here and stay for good. That part of our relationship was stressful, and took about 2-3 years just to get his permanent paperwork. After a year or so of living together I decided that I wanted out of the city. I couldn\u2019t stand it anymore and wanted to be back in the country. I found a new development that they were building by the beach and bought a house. We are going on three years living here now. My mom still lives in the house I grew up in, my brother and his wife had a baby, and my dad is now in a care facility somewhere. I\u2019ve recently reconnected with that old best friend again and am pretty happy right where I am.\nSo there is my life story, in a nutshell. There is obviously so much more to it but I did the best I could of condensing it into one blog post!\nNote: I didn\u2019t talk about my business endeavors in this post because I already covered all of that here, in my Building a Business series.\nI\u2019d love to hear your story too!

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Cracks in the Sidewalk Fission or fussion? A look at the science of social change. \u00bb\nThis entry was posted on Dec 23 2016 at 08:20 by thewritebeat and is filed under About the Author.\nWell said, Ruth. DT is certainly a reflection of the worst of American culture \u2014 the selfishness, bombast, superficial consumerism, lack of self reflection and humility. So in many ways it was just a matter of time until the supersized mirror of our own shadow was held right into our face with this man who represents Ego in its most pure and unfiltered form.\nObviously, Americans also have the capacity to be compassionate, thoughtful and kind. And it\u2019s not even that some people are 100% caring and others 100% selfish, it\u2019s just that in the binary choice of a presidential election where both candidates usually embody various degrees of the moral and emotional landscape, this time one of the choices offered no such landscape and enough people had their primal caveman instinct triggered enough (through clever manipulation, I should add) to vote for this guy.\nThe good news is that the majority actually went for the candidate which I think more accurately describes us as a country: flawed and complicated, but ultimately with a good heart and intentions. So there\u2019s a very valid moral argument to be made that this was just a temporary flirtation, an error of judgment from which we can learn if we keep focusing on the better angels of our nature and make sure that those are better represented and fought for, not just in presidential elections but in local races across the country.\nThe bad news is that the damage from this slip of epic proportions will turn out to be so consequential that we will not be able to overcome them. I\u2019m thinking about nuclear conflict or climate change, which are so final in their implications as to render any kind of legislative or cultural squabbling pointless. But we have no choice but to hope to avert the big irreversible disasters and work to make sure we can recover from the smaller ignorance-based disasters that will surely come to pass (figuratively and literally) in the coming months and years.\nNot sure you'll receive this.....you got it right but it's heartbreaking to think people are so swept away by glitz and glitter that they've forgotten how to feel. We have become desperate in an attempt to keep up and keep going we've totally\nlost direction.\nThe election was and still is a circus. I recall on interview, only one, when asked about being presidential DT replied; \"Oh; I can be presidential you just wait and see! What did that mean was he so busy acting like a clown because we are all\nperceived as idiots? Why couldn't he act 'presidential' all along? What does it mean?\nFor me this stage of existence is essential to figure out the meaning of life. How do we treat our neighbors? Why do they matter? If one of us is hurting it affects us all. Compassion for each other keeps it real. For in the worst of us there is a something that reflects the best of us. We are all essential to the whole. It is a beautiful world that abounds in ugliness at times. I choose to see the beauty and respect the space I'm given. But what do I know?\nThis collection \u00a92019 by Ruth Heil | Contact | Help | Design by Michael Heilemann | Blog software",

        "raw_content": "El Chapo\u2019s escape continues to unfold with new revelations of complicity\nInformation exposing the high-level of complicity in the escape of the world\u2019s most powerful drug lord, Joaquin \u201cEl Chapo\u201d Guzman, keeps flowing. The latest reveals that the prison guards in charge of the Sinaloa cartel leader were playing \u201cSolitaire\u201d on their computers, instead of monitoring the CCTV linked to his cell.\nFurthermore, reports have also emerged noting that authorities knew about his escape at least five months beforehand, as well as the revelation that the day El Chapo broke out of jail, very loud noises could be heard throughout the prison that were, undoubtedly, according to court testimonies, those of excavation.\nCartoon depicting an image of Pe\u00f1a Nieto, Osorio Chong and Arely Gomez under el \u201cChapo\u201d Guzman (Image: eltlaxcalteca.mx)\nMore recently, an airplane pilot has been accused of playing a role in the drug lord\u2019s escape. He is in Mexican custody, Mexico\u2019s attorney general declared on Thursday October 8.\nAttorney General Arely Gomez said at a Mexican Senate hearing that the pilot had been captured. But she didn\u2019t offer details \u2014 including the name of the pilot and where, when or how he or she was caught.\nThursday was the first time Mexican authorities have said anything publicly about a pilot having a part in springing Joaquin \u201cEl Chapo\u201d Guzman.\nGomez said 24 people, all but one of them government employees, have been arrested in connection with the July 11 escape. Ten other civilians have been detained.\nIn addition, authorities have conducted 40 inspections, crafted 522 documents and collected 191 pieces of evidence from the tunnel \u2014 which had lights, ventilation and led directly to his cell \u2014 that Guzman used to bust out of a maximum-security prison.\nAuthorities haven\u2019t said if any of this investigative work has led them closer to Guzman.\nIn the meantime, the news of El Chapo placing a US$100 million bounty on Republican presidential hopeful and billionaire Donald Trump has stirred controversy, as there seems to be no verifiable source. One thing\u2019s for sure: the Sinaloa cartel leader is in the business of making money, so the question would be whether he has anything to gain from Trump\u2019s death.\nSource: http://www.telesurtv.net/",

Getty Images\nStump speech is a term used today to describe a candidate's standard speech, delivered day after day during a typical political campaign. But in the 19th century the phrase held a much more colorful meaning.\nThe phrase became firmly established in the early decades of the 1800s, and stump speeches got their name for a good reason: they would often be delivered by candidates who literally stood atop a tree stump.\nStump speeches caught on along the American frontier, and there are numerous examples where politicians were said to be \"stumping\" for themselves or for other candidates.\nA reference book in the 1840s defined the terms \"to stump\" and \"stump speech.\" And by the 1850s newspaper articles from around the United States often referred to a candidate \"taking to the stump.\"\nThe ability to give an effective stump speech was considered an essential political skill. And notable 19th century politicians, including Henry Clay, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, were respected for their skills as stump speakers.\nVintage Definition of Stump Speech\nThe tradition of stump speeches became so well-established that A Dictionary of Americanisms, a reference book published in 1848, defined the term \"To stump\":\n\"To Stump. 'To stump it' or 'take the stump.' A phrase signifying to make electioneering speeches.\nThe 1848 dictionary also mentioned \"to stump it\" was a phrase \"borrowed from the backwoods,\" as it referred to speaking from atop a tree stump.\nThe idea of linking stump speeches to the backwoods seems obvious, as the use of a tree stump as an improvised stage would naturally refer to a location where land was still being cleared. And the idea that stump speeches were essentially a rural event led to candidates in cities sometimes using the term in a mocking manner.\nThe Style of 19th Century Stump Speeches\nRefined politicians in the cities may have looked down on stump speeches. But out in the countryside, and especially along the frontier, stump speeches appreciated for their rough and rustic character. They were free-wheeling performances that were different in content and tone from the more polite and sophisticated political discourse heard in the cities. At times the speech-making would be an all-day affair, complete with food and barrels of beer.\nThe rollicking stump speeches of the early 1800s would typically contain boasts, jokes, or insults directed at opponents.\nA Dictionary of Americanisms quoted a memoir of the frontier published in 1843:\n\"Some very good stump speeches are delivered from a table, a chair, a whiskey barrel, and the like. Sometimes we make the best stump speeches on horseback.\"\nJohn Reynolds, who served as governor of Illinois in the 1830s, wrote a memoir in which he fondly recalled giving stump speeches in the late 1820s.\nReynolds described the political ritual:\n\"Addresses known as stump-speeches received their name, and much of their celebrity, in Kentucky, where that mode of electioneering was carried to great perfection by the great orators of that state.\n\"A large tree is cut down in the forest, so that the shade may be enjoyed, and the stump is cut smooth on the top for the speaker to stand on. Sometimes, I have seen steps cut in them for the convenience of mounting them. Sometimes seats are prepared, but more frequently the audience enjoys the luxury of the green grass to sit and lie on.\"\nA book on the Lincoln-Douglas Debates published nearly a century ago recalled the heyday of stump speaking on the frontier, and how it was viewed as something of a sport, with opposing speakers engaging in spirited competition:\n\"A good stump speaker could always attract a crowd, and a wit combat between two speakers representing opposite parties was a real holiday of sport. It is true that the jokes and counterstrokes were often feeble attempts, and not very far removed from vulgarity; but the stronger the blows the better they were liked, and the more personal, the more enjoyable they were.\"\nAbraham Lincoln Possessed Skills As a Stump Speaker\nBefore he faced Abraham Lincoln in the legendary 1858 contest for a U.S. Senate seat, Stephen Douglas expressed concern about Lincoln's reputation. As Douglas put it: \"I shall have my hands full. He is the strong man of the party \u2014 full of wit, facts, dates \u2014 and the best stump speaker, with his droll ways and dry jokes, in the West.\"\nLincoln's reputation had been earned early. A classic story about Lincoln described an incident the occurred \"on the stump\" when he was 27 years old and still living in New Salem, Illinois.\nRiding into Springfield, Illinois, to give a stump speech on behalf of the Whig Party in the 1836 elections, Lincoln heard about a local politician, George Forquer, who had switched from Whig to Democrat. Forquer had been generously rewarded, as part of the Spoils System of the Jackson administration, with a lucrative government job. Forquer had built an impressive new house, the first house in Springfield to have a lightning rod.\nThat afternoon Lincoln delivered his speech for the Whigs, and then Forquer stood to speak for the Democrats. He attacked Lincoln, making sarcastic remarks about Lincoln's youth.\nGiven the chance to respond, Lincoln said:\n\"I am not so young in years as I am in the tricks and trades of a politician. But, live long or die young, I would rather die now, than, like the gentleman,\" \u2014 at this point Lincoln pointed at Forquer \u2014 \"change my politics, and with the change receive an office worth three thousand dollars a year. And then feel obliged to erect a lightning rod over my house to protect a guilty conscience from an offended God.\"\nFrom that day forward Lincoln was respected as a devastating stump speaker.\nSeven Facts You Should Know About the Lincoln-Douglas Debates\nThe Facts to Know About Abraham Lincoln\nTimeline of Lincoln's Boyhood and Early Career\nDid Lincoln Really Swing a Mean Ax?\nBarnburners and Hunkers, Significant Political Rivals of the 1840s\nMartin Van Buren: What You Should Know About the Eighth President\nThese Political Parties Never Made It Out of the 1800s",

        "raw_content": "Run-flat prices must come down\nAKRON (July 17, 2000)\u2014Given an equal choice, most consumers would elect to fit run-flat tires on their vehicles rather than conventional radials. And why not? With run-flats, car owners don\u00b4t need to worry about being stranded along the side of the road with a flat tire.\nBut the key word here is equal. Today\u00b4s run-flats are not equal to conventional tires\u2014not in price and not in performance.\nIt\u00b4s little wonder, then, that run-flat tires have not gained widespread acceptance among the buying public or with auto manufacturers.\nEliminating this inequality is the challenge Goodyear, Michelin and other tire makers face in trying to expand run-flat use.\nMost run-flat tires, as they exist today, cost considerably more, weigh more and offer greater rolling resistance than conventional tires, which drives up fuel costs.\nThey also require use of a tire-pressure monitoring device\u2014another added cost\u2014and in some instances, a different type of rim.\nDepending on the type of run-flat system in use, tire dealers also could face higher costs in having to buy new equipment to mount and demount such tires.\nWhile run-flat tires do offer better safety and security than their conventional counterparts, these differences apparently are not great enough to justify their added cost.\nThe durability of today\u00b4s tires is high, and the threat of having a flat tire is not as formidable as it once was.\nSo what do tire makers have to do to make run-flats sell?\nThey must get the price down to a level comparable with today\u00b4s conventional tires and improve their performance.\nThe recent announcement that bitter rivals Michelin and Goodyear plan to work together in developing an industry standard for run-flats should go a long way toward speeding their acceptance.\nThese two industry behemoths wisely perceived that their individual run-flat programs were going nowhere.\nDespite spending millions of dollars on research, development and advertising, neither has sold many run-flat tires.\nWidespread acceptance of run-flats seems most likely to occur first in the original-equipment market, particularly if a new wheel design is needed.\nTo Goodyear\u00b4s credit, it has acknowledged that Michelin\u00b4s PAX system, which uses a new wheel design and a flexible internal support ring, is the best platform on which to base future research.\nNow, auto makers and first-time buyers in the aftermarket won\u00b4t have to choose between Michelin\u00b4s PAX and Goodyear\u00b4s Extended Mobility Tire design, which uses a conventional rim in combination with stiffer tire sidewalls.\nStill, the challenge is clear. Goodyear, Michelin and other tire makers need to develop run-flats that cost less and offer higher performance.\nUntil they do that, run-flat tires will continue to be a tough sell.",

        "title": "China Population: 1.4 Billion & Ethnic Groups: 56 Ethnic Groups",
        "raw_content": "China has a huge population of over one billion, and it supports 21% of the world's population with 9% of the world's cultivable land. With a territory of about 9,634,057 square kilometers, Chinese people scatter and live every inches of this land. In China, an idiom says although Chinese people may eat the same kind of rice, they can grow up into different kinds of people finally. Due to geographic limitation and other reasons, China is inhabited with decades of nationalities.\nAccording to governmental statistics, by the end of 2017, China has a population of about 1,390,000,000 in mainland, excluding the population in Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong and overseas Chinese. It has a newly-born population of about 17,230,000 and a death population of about 9,860,000. In term of population structure, the population of people aged 0-15 is about 247,190,000, accounting for 17.8% of the total population, the number of people aged 16-59 amounts to about 901,990,000, accounting for about 64.9 % of the total, and the population of people aged 60 and above is about 240,900,000, taking up 17.3% of the total. In term of urban and rural structure, the urban population is about 813,470,000, and takes up about 58.52% of the total population. In 2017, Hong Kong has a population of about 7,400,000, Macau has a population of about 653,000, and Taiwan has a population of about 23,1600,000.\nPopulation Policy & Population Control\nBefore the implement of the one-child polity, every couple could have as many children as they want. As a result, China population entered in to a boom period, which brings demographic dividend to economic development. In a long time after opening to the world, labor-intensive industries are one of the main types to develop economy, like processing industry and textile and fashion industry. In 1980, Chinese mainland implemented a family planning policy or one-child polity due to population pressure and poor economy. According to the policy, a couple should have only one child, if they have a second child, they are fined for a certain amount of money. But this policy is not strictly carried out in some regions, especial in rural areas and minority areas. For this policy, the growth of population has slowed.\nIn 2016, due to aging of population and shortage of labor, China mainland implemented a two-child policy, and specified that a couple could have two children. To this policy, though people welcome it, they have different opinions. Some deem that they won\u2019t have a second child, because of too much economic pressure from housing and education. Some think it\u2019s very good news to them, and they will have a second child.\nThere is a population of over 50 millions of overseas Chinese, who are people of Chinese birth or of Chinese descent living in other countries, and overseas Chinese has various nationalities, like the Han. Every continent has overseas Chinese, and Asia has the biggest population of overseas Chinese, mainly in Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam. Those countries have a population of overseas Chinese over one million. In other continents, countries with a big population of overseas Chinese are America, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Japan, France, Unite Kingdom, Russia, Peru, etc. These countries are also mainly countries where Chinese are inclined to immigrant or study overseas. Due to a large population of overseas Chinese all over the world, a growing of population of foreigners know more about China, Chinese culture, China's economy and others.\nUsually, we say that China has 56 ethnic groups, but in fact, China has more ethnic groups. 56 ethnic groups are identified and confirmed by the central government, and there are over 730 thousand of people whose ethnic status haven\u2019t been identified and confirmed. The 56 ethnic groups have a comparably big population, some ethnic groups not in the 56 ethnic groups have a very small population. In the 56 ethnic groups, Han nationality is the biggest ethnic group, and other ethnic groups are also called ethnic minorities. Ethnic groups do not live in only one place, and they are in all over the China. Thousands of years ago, people move from one place to another because of war, disasters like drought and flood, or others. Since the opening to the world, and China completely dedicates itself to develop economy, the mobility of population has accelerated. Now, almost in every city, there are various ethnic groups living together. But still there are some regions where one nationality in compact communities, like the Zhuang in Guangxi, the Tibetan in Tibet, the Ulghur in Xinjiang, the Mongolian in Inner Mongolia, and the Hui in Ningxia.\nOf the people enumerated in the 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities and servicemen of the mainland of China, 1,159.40 millions of people or 91.59 percent are of Han nationality, and 106.43 millions of people or 8.41 percent are of various ethnic minorities. Among all ethnic minorities, there are 18 ethnic groups with a population over one million respectively, and they are the Mongol, Hui, Tibetan, Ulghur, Miao, Zhuang, Dong, Yao, Bai, ect. The Zhuang nationality is the biggest ethnic minority with a population over 16 million. Some ethnic minorities have a population less than ten thousand. Learn more about Chinese ethnic groups festivals by transfer to the page Ethnic Group Festivals in China.\nEthnic Policy in China\nChina is a unified multi-ethnic country. \u201csome 56 ethnic groups have been identified and confirmed by the central government\u201d. Full equality among ethnic groups. Full equality among ethnic groups is specified by the constitution law, and it is a cornerstone of ethnic policy in China. It tells that every ethnic groups has equal political status, legal economic, cultural and social equality, and they are equal before the law and enjoy the same rights and fulfill the same obligations. Second, ethnic minorities enjoy the rights to protect and develop their own cultures, including their spoken and written languages.

This generation was mainly born in the Mao\u2019s time, they may have several siblings and several daughters and sons. During holiday time, their daughters and sons would come back home and stay with them to celebrate the holiday together in traditional ways.\nEnjoy their retire life. Their retire life is supported by the state welfare system and the gain pensions monthly for their daily expense.

        "raw_content": "TRI-R, Toshiba Materials' LED technology, a light close to that of the sun for human wellbeing, will feature at Lighting Days\nLyon, 13th-14th December 2017\nKumpei Kobayashi, one of the main founders of the TRI-R project and executive fellow of Toshiba Materials has been invited to Lighting Days in Lyon, the renowned international event dedicated to new lighting technologies, to present TRI-R, the LED technology developed by Toshiba Materials in partnership with TOL Studio, which produces natural light similar to that of the sun, designed for human physical and mental well-being.\n\u201cTRI-R technology \u2013 the light closest to the sun for human well-being\u201d is the title of the conference, in which Kobayashi will talk about the characteristics of this innovative technology. Drawing inspiration from the current prevalence of LEDs, he will begin with a reflection on the essence of light in everyday life, in history, and in the culture of mankind. Light not only allows us to see, but also acquires a profound meaning in the biological, emotional, and spiritual spheres. This is because, in the evolution of human biological functions, structures and cellular mechanisms have adapted to the natural alternating cycle of sunlight. TRI-R technology is based precisely on this premise and produces \u201chuman-centric\u201d lighting. In support of this, the results emerging from a study conducted by the authoritative Centre for Chronobiology at the University of Basel in Switzerland will be cited. This study has examined the influence of light on sleep and on the circadian rhythm in general, addressing conventional LEDs and daylight LEDs that recreate sunlight (as in the case of TRI-R).\nIn addition to influencing human well-being, the light produced by TRI-R, characterized by a reduction in the blue component peaks and by the uniformity of the continuous spectrum just like in the solar spectrum, does not alter colours, gives sharpness to details and textures without glare, and highlights the micro-textures that characterize the materials. For this reason, it has been applied in significant contexts. Such as museums and artistic settings, where the natural colour hues chosen by the artists are intensified: in the lighting design of the exhibitions on Symbolism and Rubens, both held at Palazzo Reale (Milan, 2016 and 2017). The quality of light is also fundamentally important in interior design and architecture, particularly in the perception of surfaces and materials. In this area, TRI-R technology was applied for the Marco Piva exhibition at the Scuola della Misericordia in Venice (May 2016) for the Biennale of Architecture. Other significant applications have been in the fashion sector, in the \u201cCRAFTING THE FUTURE\u201d exhibition held in Milan and organized by the National Chamber for Italian Fashion (MUDEC Milan, September 2016) and in February 2017, with the illumination of the new ready-to-wear collection of the historic Capucci Fashion House. In this field, TRI-R highlights the three-dimensional effects in the fabrics, emphasizing their details, colour contrast, and the combinations of various materials. In industrial design, the famous \u201cpoet of light\u201d Ingo Maurer has used TRI-R in his iconic Lucellino lamp. Finally, TRI-R also took part in the Smart City exhibition focused on materials and new technologies, presented by Material ConneXion at Fuorisalone 2017.\n3 EVENTS, YOUR 100% LIGHTING MEETING !\nhttp://www.forumled.com/led/\ncontact@lighting-days.com\nImmeuble le Portant,\n152 Grande Rue de St Clair\nLighting Days Events\nFull Led Expo | Forum Lumiville | ForumLED\n9 am to 18h pm\nCit\u00e9 Centre des Congr\u00e8s Lyon",

        "raw_content": "The first organic\ncertified coffees from Ethiopia\nAiming high for specialty coffee\nIt has always been about developing the niche market by certifying the highest possible quality coffee that we can find. \u201cMy aim was to be different from all the existing big trading houses.\u201d \u2013 Menno Simons. By not only certifying, but upgrading the quality of the coffee at the same time, we\u2019re able to fetch better prices and pay the growers higher wages. This way the growers develop themselves further and we can continue investing.\nThe first Ethiopian coffee certification\nOromia Coffee Farmers Co-operative Union which was set up in 2000, were the first in Ethiopia to be certified. The union, which united several smaller co-operatives, made it possible to get the right international control systems and traceability in place to realize the Organic Certifications, and later Fair Trade. This was a key stepping stone in developing the market for high quality Organic Certified coffees from Ethiopia, travelling extensively through Ethiopia to do so.\nContinuing the progress\nDriven to make progress at origin, a project was planned which would result in an investment of \u20ac800,000 in Ethiopia, of which the Dutch government subsidized 60%. In the years 2005-2008 we introduced the first seven Eco-pulpers in Ethiopia, machines that not only use far less water than conventional pulpers do, but also produce better quality coffee. After that we installed 3 dry mills for unwashed hulling at the co-op level and brought Organic Certification to many co-ops belonging to the Sidama- and Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Co-operatives Union. We even brought in Agronomists from Hawaii to train all the smallholder farmers. The next step was to introduce the first Grainpro bags and the vacuum packaging machine for green coffee. After which, we arranged the first serious amounts of crop financing in the complex Ethiopian banking system. With the help of many specialty coffee roasters, we paid high premiums to the farmers and were able to market their coffees worldwide.\nCustomizing high quality certified coffee\nListening to market demand, we now work with Organic, Fairtrade FLO, Fairtrade USA, Rainforest Alliance and a few other smaller certifications. Continuing to certify farms and co-ops according to each specification. Not only that, but if a roaster is interested in a specific coffee with a specific certification, we try our best to develop a customized product for them.",

        "raw_content": "Strawberry Trees offer free public solar charging for gadgets\n\u00a9 Strawberry Energy\nIn a bid to bring more renewable energy choices to the public, while educating people on the benefits of solar power, one Serbian startup is building public solar charging stations that will energize mobile gadgets and serve as a social hub.\nThe vision of Strawberry Energy is to make renewable energy sources more accessible for all people, and to show that solar power and other clean energy solutions aren't just abstract concepts, but are instead practical and desirable. The way they're helping to get that message across is through their public solar charging stations, dubbed Strawberry Trees, which offer free charging for mobile devices, and in some cases, free WiFi.\n\"Recognizing that the best way to raise awareness about the issues of clean green energy is to present the benefits through practical example, Strawberry energy engages in research and promotion of renewable energy sources and sustainable development.\"\nBecause so many of us are dependent on our phones, our tablets, and our music players, all of which are likely to run out of juice just when we need them, offering a way for users to recharge them with the power of the sun might be a great entry point for showing how solar energy has a place in our everyday lives.\nThe Strawberry Tree public solar stations, which are designed to be permanently installed in busy public places, include 16 charging cords (so users don't have to have their charger with them), and can serve as a meeting place and WiFi hotspot.\nCurrently, 12 of the Strawberry Tree charging stations are installed in Europe, with ten of them in Serbia and two in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and have proven to be popular with the public. The company recently signed a US distribution agreement with 3fficient Energy of California, which could open the door for wider adoption of these public solar chargers. According to 3fficient, the California Community College system has already expressed interest in the Strawberry Tree system.\nStrawberry Energy also makes two other versions of the solar chargers, the Strawberry Mini, which is a smaller portable model that could be used for festivals and events, and the Mini Rural, which is even smaller and is designed for offgrid and rural use in areas without electricity.\nStrawberries don't grow on trees, but solar power can, at least on these ones, which are coming soon to the US.\nHybrid solar oven can cook on cloudy days or at night\nThis electric-assist cargo bike is powered with a built-in solar panel\nInnovative DIY solar water pump takes aim at global water crisis",

        "title": "Malta awarded \"Most favoured domicile in Europe\" in Hedge Fund Service Provider rankings 2013 by Hedge Funds Review",
        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Highlights \u00bb Malta \"Most Favoured Domicile in Europe\"\nFor the first time, Malta has been won the coveted award of Europe's favoured domicile in the Hedge Fund Service Provider rankings 2013, a significant change to the old guard in this category. The choice of most favoured domicile was selected as the biggest change over 2012 results by Hedge Funds Review, the leading publication for the alternative investment industry. Malta rose from third position in 2012 to first place this year.\nVoting in the survey was conducted online between August 27 and October 14. Eligible to vote were individuals from single-manager hedge funds or FoHF organisations and investors, such as family offices, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies and asset allocators, underlining Malta's popularity with a broad range of hedge fund formats and professionals.\nFinancial services already accounts for at least 12% of Malta's GDP and is worth well in excess of \u20ac1 billion to the Maltese Islands in direct and indirect revenue, employing some 10,000 people and the selection of Malta as Europe's favoured domicile will undoubtedly spur all stakeholders to consolidate their activities for further growth beneath the FinanceMalta brand. FinanceMalta's Chairman Kenneth Farrugia was in London to receive this distinguished award on behalf of Malta's international financial services centre.\nMr. Farrugia said,\" I am highly pleased that Malta\u2019s value proposition as a European Fund Domicile has been recognised through this Award as conferred by Hedge Funds Review. Malta\u2019s ranking as the most favourite European Fund Domicile is in essence a reflection of the critical success factors that have underpinned our value proposition over the past years primarily driven by the presence of a steadfast legal and regulatory framework, an accessible and pro-business regulatory body, a highly developed operational infrastructure and above all the presence of a \u201ccan-do\u201d mind-set in the industry.\nWithin this context, over these past years, FinanceMalta, through its management team and its member base, has been pivotal in the organisation of various international promotional initiatives aimed at showcasing the funds sector and its critical success factors. As a result of these initiatives, which included the use of various media channels, Malta is today renowned as highly competitive European Fund Domicile as this Award clearly confirms.\nDespite this laudable Award, sustaining our competitiveness is in my view a journey and going forward this can only be achieved by continuously measuring our responsiveness to the needs and wants of our clients, and more so measuring the quality of service that is being delivered to Malta\u2019s various international client base through stakeholder surveys. This will ensure that the sector constantly remains client centric avoiding the common pitfall of successful jurisdictions in becoming victims of their own success\". As an EU Member State, Malta is a highly regarded onshore jurisdiction remaining up to date with all the legislative and regulatory changes being enacted by the EU, the latest of which was the AIFMD. Malta's improved reputation as a financial services hub on a level playing field with other EU jurisdictions such as Luxembourg and Ireland.\nThe AIFMD now provides EU managers managing EU funds with the right to provide their management services and to market their EU funds throughout the EU through a pan-EU passport, without requiring another authorisation in the host State/s in addition to that obtained in their home Member State. The EU passport will allow managers to choose more freely where to establish themselves and the funds they manage, enabling them to concentrate their fund management and marketing activities reaching across or involving various European jurisdictions within one EU State. This is expected to entice cross-border managers to establish their funds in an EU fund domicile.\nAt the same time, some non-EU managers who rely substantially on the EU investment market for distribution of their funds may ultimately decide either to relocate to or establish a management operation in an EU domicile.\nIn both cases, given its selection as \"Most favoured domicile in Europe\" in Hedge fund service provider rankings 2013, Malta will certainly figure as a front-line candidate and EU domicile of choice, given the excellent value proposition, as well as the acquired reputation of having robust, flexible regulation exercised by an approachable, yet robust regulator.\nFor more information contact FinanceMalta",

        "raw_content": "Coalisland \u2018hero\u2019 gives his cousin her \u2018life back\u2019 with the gift of a kidney\nRaymond Hughes with his cousin Briege Dorman, whom he donated a kidney to on Tuesday\nWhat are the chances that after six years of dialysis while waiting on a new kidney, your heroic cousin gives you one of his on Organ Donation Week?\nThis inspirational scenario just happens to be reality for Coalisland woman Briege Dorman, who lost one of her kidneys to cancer just before the other stopped working several years ago.\nRaymond and Briege in hospital with Briege's supportive husband and daughter\nNow she says she\u2019s owes everything to her \u201chero\u201d - Raymond Hughes - also from Coalisland, who offered up one of his healthy kidneys after years of seeing his cousin in pain, and missing out on life because both hers had failed.\nBut, embarrassed at all the attention since his selfless act, Raymond would argue the real hero of this story is Briege, a grandmother and mother of four, who has not only had to deal with her own illness, but also help her son battle cancer three times.\nAnd the timing, he said, was a complete accident.\nSpeaking to the Times today (Thursday, Sept 8) from Belfast City Hospital, 52-year-old Raymond shrugged off his generous and altruistic donation, saying: \u201cWell, you know. I\u2019m a single man and she\u2019s such a lovely woman - all through the years, we\u2019ve been friends.\u201d\nBriege and Raymond at his father's 80th two years ago\nIt seems Briege\u2019s plight was never far from his mind, as he went on to describe how the 57-year-old was unable to take part in family life at times because of her reliance on dialysis.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a couple of things that made me think about it,\u201d he went on to say.\n\u201cOnce, I saw her at a family funeral and she couldn\u2019t make it to the grave side - and it was breaking her heart.\n\u201cShe had been let down so many times, and I had offered before and she maybe thought it was one of those \u2018I\u2019ll give you a kidney\u2019 and that\u2019s the last you hear.\n\u201cSo I followed it through and got the tests and stuff. It was very tough scrutiny, and I got the MOT as well, so I got something out of it.\n\u201cShe has been marvellous,\u201d he continued. \u201cShe\u2019s been let down all these years... She\u2019s the hero.\n\u201cI\u2019m going to be stiff and sore for a while, but she\u2019s always happy no matter how much pain she\u2019s in.\u201d\nPro-life group claims Sinn Fein church clinic halted\nBut Briege has praised Raymond with helping her to get her life back after spending almost six months out of the last six years \u201ctied to a bed on dialysis\u201d.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a miracle,\u201d she said. \u201cHe\u2019s a hero for me and he\u2019s given me back my life.\n\u201cMy life was completely banjaxed,\u201d Briege explained. \u201cNow I\u2019ll be back to normal like anybody else. I\u2019ll be in here for nine to 15 days then it\u2019s just one day at a time.\u201d\nThe impressive pair were admitted to Belfast City Hospital for the procedure on Tuesday, when Raymond said his kidney was removed first, and Briege kept in isolation until it was transplanted into her later on the same day.\n\u201cIt was only 48 hours ago, so we\u2019re on a lot of painkillers,\u201d he added.\n\u201cBriege has been waiting on a kidney and had been on dialysis for six years, travelling up and down the road to Newry three times a week.\u201d\nEven though they had both faced the disappointment of previous cancellations, this time was different.\n\u201cIt was perfect,\u201d Raymond said. \u201cThe doctors were delighted.\u201d\nNow the duo hope their story will help inspire others to think about organ donation.\nThere are currently 6,500 people on the transplant list, while three on average die every day while waiting on a donor organ.\nCall 0300 123 23 23 for details on how to register.\nTyrone man raising awareness of cancer\nIN PICTURES: Take a look back through the Times archive\nBardic Theatre pay tribute to colleague - 'the true definition of a gentleman'\nStarting up a cookery school is \u2018wee buns\u2019 to Mary-Anne",

        "title": "Telematic Embrace by Roy Ascott, Edward A. Shanken - Paperback - University of California Press",
        "raw_content": "Telematic Embrace Visionary Theories of Art, Technology, and Consciousness by Roy Ascott\nby Roy Ascott (Author), Edward A. Shanken (Editor), Edward A. Shanken (Introduction)\nWorks of art produced by any distinctive creative personality will borrow from and build on prior themes. Similarly, in these essays, Roy Ascott employs a palette of theoretical images drawn from many sources, including Jackson Pollock and Marcel Duchamp, the theories of cybernetics, quantum physics, and telematics, and the metaphysical ideas of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and non-Western cosmologies, which he re-renders and re-contextualizes in original compositions. His theories progressively gain complexity and depth and are always presented in a compelling manner, which is at once poetic and convincing.\nBecause Ascott's essays are generally quite short, abridgment would in most cases seriously detract from their integrity. Except as noted, the texts selected for this book are therefore included in their entirety. Occasionally, minor editorial alterations have been made to enhance clarity. British spellings have been largely retained, and despite the author's and editor's preference for gender-inclusive language, we also decided to retain the original gendering of pronouns. Ascott's message is one of inclusion and unification, and it is hoped that all readers will feel equally welcome in his telematic embrace.\nThe introductory essay \"From Cybernetics to Telematics: The Art, Pedagogy, and Theory of Roy Ascott\" is intended as a basic framework to assist the reader in contextualizing and evaluating the artist's writings, providing a general overview of Ascott's work, briefly describing his intellectual background, and sketching out the problem of artists' writings. It also offers a discussion of cybernetics and telematics and their relationship to Ascott's work as an artist, teacher, and theorist. Roy Ascott is still actively making art, teaching, and writing theory, but I have addressed his work in the past tense in order to retain consistency and provide a proper historical tone.\nKristine Stiles sensed that Roy Ascott and I were a perfect match, arranged our meeting in 1994, and encouraged us to pursue this project together. Without her knowledge, dedication, patience, and editorial assistance, my efforts would have amounted to substantially less. My large and extended family has blessed me many times over by supporting my dreams with love and enthusiasm. The Duke University Department of Art and Art History, Graduate School, and Center for International Studies generously supported my dissertation research, a substantial portion of which appears in my essay. A Henry Luce fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies made an invaluable contribution to the final stages of writing. Thanks are also due to all the artists and critics who offered personal insights into telecommunications art. These include Robert Adrian, Liza Bear, Hank Bull, Peter D'Agostino, Allan Kaprow, Carl Loeffler, Willoughby Sharp, Woody and Steina Vasulka, and Norman White. Eduardo Kac generously edited earlier drafts and provided excellent comments. Deborah Kirshman at the University of California Press embraced this project from the beginning and patiently supported the process that brought it to fruition. Finally, I would like to thank Roy Ascott for the honor of editing this collection of his writings and for the love he shown by entrusting them to me.\nLong before e-mail and the Internet permeated society, Roy Ascott, a pioneering British artist and theorist, coined the term \"telematic art\" to describe the use of online computer networks as an artistic medium. In Telematic Embrace Edward A. Shanken gathers, for the first time, an impressive compilation of more than three decades of Ascott\u2019s philosophies on aesthetics, interactivity, and the sense of self and community in the telematic world of cyberspace. This book explores Ascott\u2019s ideas on how networked communication has shaped behavior and consciousness within and beyond the realm of what is conventionally defined as art.\nTelematics, a powerful marriage of computers and telecommunication, made technologies we now take for granted\u2014such as e-mail and automated teller machines (ATMs)\u2014part of our daily life, and made art a more interactive form of expression. Telematic art challenges traditional relationships between artist, artwork, and audience by allowing nonlocal audiences to influence the emergent qualities of the artwork, which consists of the ebb and flow of electronic information. These essays constitute a unique archaeology of ideas, tracing Ascott\u2019s meditations on the formation of consciousness through the intertwined cultural histories of art and technology from the 1960s to the present.\nShanken\u2019s introduction situates Ascott\u2019s work within a history of ideas in art, technology, and philosophy. Given the increasing role of the Internet and the World Wide Web in the creation of commerce and community at the dawn of this new millennium, scholars, students, laypeople, policymakers, and artists will find this collection informative and thought-provoking.\nRoy Ascott is President of the Planetary Collegium at the University of Plymouth, England and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Design/Media Arts, University of California Los Angeles. Edward A. Shanken is Professor of Art History, Savannah College of Art, Georgia.\n\u201cdisembodied foreplay for virtual intercourse\u201d \u2014Michael Gibbs\n\"At a time when libraries are stacked with mass-marketed books on the Internet, \u201cTelematic Embrace\" is a welcome contribution to both academic and general discourse.\" \u2014San Francisco Chronicle\n\"At a time when libraries are stacked with mass-marketed books on the Internet, Telematic Embrace is a welcome contribution to both academic and general discourse.\" \u2014San Francisco Chronicle\n\u201cThe selection of essays is excellent, with a good range over Ascott\u2019s long career.\u201d \u2014Charlie Gere The Art Book\n\"A vital addition to the literature on art of the later twentieth century, in which Roy Ascott has played central roles as a major pioneer of interactive, telematic art and as an innovative educator. Ascott\u2019s visionary philosophy, grounded in science and technology as well as metaphysical thought, has profound implications for the digital era. Edward Shanken is the ideal guide through this material, and his lucid and insightful introductory essay will become the standard source on Ascott\u2019s work and the larger history of telematic art.\"\u2014Linda Dalrymple Henderson, David Bruton, Jr., Centennial Professor in Art History and Distinguished Teaching Professor, University of Texas, Austin\n\"Roy Ascott has unerringly been a step ahead of the cultural shifts of his times. If cybernetics, interactivity, network culture, and telematics have an artistic edge today, it is because Ascott has been there first. This collection, edited and with a brilliant introduction by Edward Shanken, charts the evolution of Ascott's ideas, pedagogy, and artmaking, which continue to be a potent source of ideas for the future of art.\"\u2014Roger Malina, Executive Editor of Leonardo\n\"An admirable survey of the telematic arts and of Roy Ascott's extraordinary contributions to this art form. Thoroughly researched, this readable text is a valuable resource for initiating students into the realm of contemporary electronic arts and sciences by bridging the gap between the visual and media arts.\"\u2014Peter d'Agostino, Professor of Film and Media Arts and Director of the NewTechLab, Temple University\n\"Roy Ascott is a leading artist and writer in the field of art and technology, and a collection of his writings is long overdue. Edward Shanken's introduction addresses many issues relevant to contemporary culture, elucidating historical, social, and theoretical aspects of Ascott's work.\"\u2014Eduardo Kac, Associate Professor of Art and Technology, School of the Art Institute of Chicago\nFrom Cyberbetics to Telematics: The Art, Pedagogy, and Theory of Roy Ascott by Edward A.

        "title": "France v Belgium: Davis Cup Final Preview - ukbookmakers.info",
        "raw_content": "France v Belgium: Davis Cup Final Preview\n2017 has been a fascinating year in the world of tennis as injuries to some of the top players played their part in the resurgence of Roger Federer who is arguably displaying the form of his life right now.\nThere\u2019s more to look forward to in 2018 but now we look ahead to the major team event on the calendar and a tournament that traditionally brings the curtain down on another 12 months. This year\u2019s Davis Cup final will be played out between France and Belgium in Lille from the 24th to the 26th of November and some high class action is in store as we find a winner from between these near neighbours.\nThe Davis Cup betting market is one of the busiest in terms of tennis staking and there are a number of good value options for a tournament that dates right back to 1900.\nIt\u2019s a straight choice between two teams for the outright winner and France lead the betting by some margin at a top price of 1/4 with Winner Sports and BetFred. That leaves Belgium as the only other option and their best odds currently come in at 10/3 with SkyBet and MarathonBet.\nBoth teams have relatively sound recent records in this competition with France reaching the semis last season and while Belgium crashed out in the first round, they made it all the way to the final in 2016 where they were defeated by Great Britain.\nAs for this year, we\u2019ll need to take a closer look at the make up of the two teams to see if the bookies have got their Davis Cup odds right ahead of the tournament.\nBelgium won their semi final against Australia by the narrowest of 3-2 margins in a series where David Goffin was the star, winning both of his singles matches, including a crucial win over the dangerous Nick Kyrgios.\nAt 2-1 down after the doubles, the Belgians fought back and after Goffin had levelled things up, Steve Darcis beat Jordan Thompson in straight sets to take the country to their second Davis Cup final in three years.\nGoffin is the key player if Belgium are to succeed and at the time of writing, the 27 year old is ranked eighth in the world for men\u2019s singles. It\u2019s been a productive year for him too and he comes into the final in good form having achieved his highest finishes in both the Australian Open and the US Open.\nFrance are in the final having beaten Serbia by three rubbers to one and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was at the heart of that success, winning both of his singles matches to ensure that his country didn\u2019t have to go into a decider.\nTsonga is 32 now and has drifted to 15th in the men\u2019s singles rankings but he\u2019s taken four ATP Tour titles this season and clearly remains a threat at any level of tennis. Tsonga vs Goffin will therefore be the key clash if both men are fit and at their best in Lille.\nWith exactly one week to go until the tournament starts, only the outright winner betting is available but that should be joined by extra markets in the days to follow. Correct score betting should be made available and this has the capacity to be a tight contest, with 3-2 to either team a potential final scoreline.\nObviously, there will be match betting and this will be across all three days with markets for all five contests, should the Davis Cup final go to a decider. Correct scores in terms of sets and games will be on offer and, of course, there is lots of potential for betting in play from the usual providers including bet365 and Stan James.\nFrance have the better squad overall and will have the benefit of a noisy home crowd behind them but are they worthy favourites or can this market be upset? The key clash, as we\u2019ve already mentioned, is the one between David Goffin and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and, if the Belgians can pick up just one further point from either the doubles or their remaining singles matches, world number eight Goffin has the capability to deliver two wins that will take the country to a memorable victory.\nThe Head to Head stats aren\u2019t quite in the Belgian\u2019s favour however and in six matches between the two men, Tsonga has won four of them and he also claimed the most recent tie as they met in Rotterdam earlier this year.\nHowever, Goffin is the better player and his rankings confirm that. He carries this Belgian team to an extent but, if he can take the pressure then the underdogs have the capacity to deliver the Davis Cup at an excellent value price.\nBelgium to win the Davis Cup at 10/3 with SkyBet\nNovember 17, 2017 in Event",

        "title": "CakePHP Application Development, by Ahsanul Bari and Anupom Syam",
        "raw_content": "Ahsanul Bari and Anupom Syam\nPublished by Packt Publishing\nFor those who haven't heard of CakePHP, it is an open source (MIT Licence) framework for building PHP applications. Frameworks appear to be, for better or worse, in vogue at the moment, and they promise to take care of all the boring repetitive code which is required for most applications, such as form generation, validation of user input and session handling. As someone who has written this sort of code time and time again, I'd be happy for any piece of software to take this tedious load away from me. However, the documentation for these frameworks is often best described as an API listing rather than an introduction to using the code, so hopefully this book will fill that gap.\nLike most texts on frameworks, this book begins with a brief explanation of the Model View Controller (MVC) pattern. This is kept sufficiently short, and is described in a way which is clearly aimed at existing PHP developers, rather than generic software engineers \u2014 a major plus point for me. A short chapter follows on how to install Cake, which is once again to the point and thankfully doesn't go into swathes of detail on how to configuring every possible web server which you might wish to run the software under (though tips on setting up Apache for Cake are included).\nFollowing the quickest introduction and installation chapters I've seen for some time, the book launches straight into developing your first application. After a clear and concise explanation of Cake naming conventions \u2014 which is part of what enables the framework to automatically generate the bulk of your code \u2014 a simple 'todo' list is up and running. The rest of the chapter runs through the basic operations \u2014 create, update and delete records \u2014 with data verification thrown in for good measure.\nThe next few chapters begin to delve deeper into Cake, but most of the sections are backed up by clear code examples which gradually build on what has gone before, and you can slowly see a complete book store management system begin to appear. Chapter 8 provides a solid overview of using the console to automatically generate Cake applications, saving even more typing. The final three chapters take you through the development of a more complicated application, which introduces user authentication, AJAX and other minor improvements such as search and RSS feeds.\nOverall, this book is the best introduction to a PHP framework that I've seen so far. The only minor niggle I have is that it seems to stop abruptly at the end of chapter 12 \u2014 there is no concluding chapter with ideas for future projects, more in-depth resources to look at etc. \u2014 but heading to the CakePHP website (www.cakephp.org) will take you to the next step. If you want to get started with PHP frameworks, this is one of the books to look at \u2014 and a percentage of the price even goes to the CakePHP project.",

        "raw_content": "Uncommon Attraction: Eiffel Tower Echoes in Martinique\u2019s Saint Louis Cathedral\nShe stands out in high style among the colorfully charming collection of smaller structures that surround her; a soaring metal spire, majestic in her minimalism, seemingly connecting the earth to the heavens.\nWe\u2019re not talking the Eiffel Tower, of course, though the similarity in description is fitting if you know a bit of the backstory behind Martinique\u2019s magnifique Saint Louis Cathedral.\nSaint Louis Cathedral Exterior | SBPR\nThe center of the Roman Catholic Church in Martinique for more than 350 years, Saint Louis Cathedral has sat in its present location in the heart of Fort-de-France, one block northwest of the La Savane Park, since 1657. It hasn\u2019t always looked like this, though.\nThe Saint Louis Cathedral you can visit in Fort-de-France today is actually the seventh such church to have graced the same location over the centuries. Foreign invaders, fires, earthquakes, and hurricanes all conspired to keep new church construction on a regular schedule between the 17th and 19th centuries. That all changed in 1895 when the current cathedral first opened its doors.\nThe impact of the Industrial Revolution was dominating new construction, with iron and steel replacing more tenuous building materials like wood. At the same time, a massive fire in 1890 had destroyed the cathedral and much of Fort-de-France. Rebuilding this time would yield a permanent solution.\nThe entire frame of the Saint Louis Cathedral is made of iron beams, earning the structure the nickname \u201cThe Iron Cathedral,\u201d while also lending the interior a bit of classic railway station look\u2026\nSaint Louis Cathedral Interior | SBPR\nOutside, the striking Gothic Revival architectural style draws your eyes no matter where you are in the city. The steeple rises nearly 200 feet into the sky. This, combined with its distinctive light-peach color, reddish-brown accents, and Neo-Romanesque rounded window arches makes Saint Louis Cathedral impossible to miss.\nAll that\u2019s great, and suggests some similarities to the Eiffel Tower, but there must be more, right?\nThe man responsible for designing and building the cathedral, Henri Picq, was a contemporary of Gustave Eiffel. The pair collaborated so closely, in fact, that some erroneously believed that Eiffel actually designed Saint Louis Cathedral.\nIt\u2019s true that Picq\u2019s design was inspired by Eiffel, but those who have come to love the peace, prayers, and tranquility of this enduring urban oasis really have Monsieur Picq to thank.\nUncommon Attraction: First Look Inside Martinique\u2019s Fort Saint Louis in 13 Years\nThe Effortless Attraction of Le Coco Bar in Martinique",

Here's the story of 45-year-old Michael Ogden and why he's grateful for the Cardiac Alert program at Iowa Methodist Medical Center.\nMichael had just returned to his West Des Moines home after putting his snow blower in storage when he felt the first twinges of chest pain. Sharp pains shot up into his neck and ears as he closed his truck door and went inside.\n\"I thought it would go away, so I took three baby aspirin and lay down on the couch,\" says Michael. \"I called 911 when the pain didn't subside. I asked the dispatcher to stay on the line with me because I knew I was having a heart attack.\"\nMichael placed his call to 911 at 2:59 p.m. Help arrived at 3:04 p.m.\n\"Michael did the right thing by calling 911,\" says John Woutat, assistant chief of emergency medical services (EMS) for the city of West Des Moines. \"We immediately began monitoring his condition and administering medication. We also called Iowa Methodist to let them know we were bringing in a patient with a severe heart attack.\"\n15 Minutes That Saved Michael's Life\nAt 3:26 p.m., Michael arrived at Iowa Methodist, and in less than 15 minutes he had undergone angioplasty to insert a balloon in his clogged artery.\nToday, Michael is grateful to be enjoying life with his wife and three children.\n\"My physician said I had a 'widow-maker,' meaning that one of the arteries in my heart was 100 percent blocked,\" says Michael. \"He also told me that I had about 15 minutes left to live when I arrived at the hospital. I can't say thank you enough for the fast action of West Des Moines EMS and the physicians and nurses at Iowa Methodist. They truly saved my life.\"\nCaring for Cardiac Emergencies\nAt UnityPoint Health - Des Moines, we care about patients like Michael and strive to provide the highest level of quality heart and vascular care. That's why we've recently developed and introduced the Cardiac Alert program that efficiently and effectively treats patients who are experiencing a heart attack.\n\"The program begins when the patient dials 911,\" says Les Smiarowski, MBA, executive director of cardiovascular services at UnityPoint Health - Des Moines. \"As soon as EMS is on site, they call and alert us that they're bringing in a cardiac patient.\"\nThis call begins a series of preparations at the hospital, including gathering a team of emergency professionals, reviewing the patient's electrocardiogram (EKG) and preparing the cardiac catheterization lab, so that we're ready to begin immediately caring for the patient on arrival to the hospital. These processes often allow us to meet or exceed the recommended benchmark of 90 minutes (established by the American College of Cardiology) to deliver heart care upon arrival to the emergency department. In Michael's case, his treatment was completed in less than 15 minutes.\n\"We're proud of the care we were able to provide Michael,\" says Smiarowski. \"We understand that speed and accuracy are essential lifesaving tools when it comes to caring for a heart attack. With the Cardiac Alert program in place, we offer both speed and accuracy to residents of Central Iowa.\"\nLearn Your Risk!\nFor more information about the Cardiac Alert program at Iowa Methodist, call (515) 241-8064 or visit the cardiovascular services section on our website.

        "raw_content": "Study: Nearly 1 in 10 women has untreated depression during 20s, 30s, 40s\nAbout 5 percent of women aged 20 to 44 have untreated major depression, and 4 percent have minor depression, but research suggests neither group receives adequate care for the condition.\nNew research shows that even though nearly 10 percent of women between age 20 and 44 have some type of depression that is not connected to pregnancy, a small share of them are being properly treated for the condition. Photo by StockSnap/Pixabay\nTUESDAY, March 13, 2018 -- Depression is a big problem in women during and after pregnancy, but it's also a concern throughout the reproductive years.\nNow, new research reports that nearly 5 percent of women between the ages of 20 and 44 have struggled with major depression.\nAnd another 4 percent of women in that age group have experienced minor depression.\nBut neither group is getting adequate care for the condition. Less than one third of women with major depression were being treated with antidepressants. For those with minor depression, only 20 percent had been given an antidepressant.\nRELATED Study links early periods to adulthood mental health issues\n\"Depression impacts women of childbearing years who aren't pregnant,\" said study senior author Dr. Alexander Butwick. He's an associate professor of anesthesiology, perioperative and pain medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine in California.\n\"By improving awareness of depression in the reproductive years, we may be able to better optimize care before a woman gets pregnant. We can get appropriate counseling and treatment in place before pregnancy, which may help mitigate depression during pregnancy,\" Butwick said.\nNearly 13 percent of women experience major depression during pregnancy, according to the researchers. Depression during pregnancy has been linked to several serious outcomes, including the mother's self-harm or suicide, diminished growth in the baby, early delivery and inadequate mother-child bonding.\nRELATED Treating hot flashes, depression during menopause can improve sleep\nMore than half of women who have depression during pregnancy also had depression before pregnancy, the researchers noted. So getting a treatment plan in place beforehand would be ideal.\nBut about half of U.S. pregnancies are unplanned. That's why the study authors wanted to see how many women are dealing with depression during their reproductive years.\n\"Depression, if uncontrolled, may have an impact on a woman and her pregnancy outcome. If you're aware of a problem beforehand, you have the luxury of time to plan,\" Butwick said.\nRELATED Researchers find no link between birth control, depression\nThe study included data from a nationally representative survey of health and nutritional status in the United States. The data is continuously collected in two-year cycles. For this study, the researchers looked at 2007 to 2014.\nThe survey included nine questions to determine depression, ranging from \"Do you feel tired or have little energy?\" to \"Do you have thoughts that you would be better off dead or of hurting yourself in some way?\"\nMajor depression required participants to have five or more depressive symptoms more than half the days in the past two weeks, while minor depression involved fewer than five, according to the study.\nThe data only has pregnancy status for women aged 20 to 44, so that's the age group targeted by researchers. They excluded women who were pregnant and those who had given birth in the past 12 months.\nThe study ended up with 3,705 women of reproductive age. Of these, 5 percent suffered from major depression.\nFactors associated with major depression included having high blood pressure, smoking and having government insurance. The one factor with a statistically significant link to minor depression was having a high school education or less.\nButwick said these associations shouldn't be considered as risk factors for depression. More study is needed, he added.\nDr. Chris Karampahtsis is a psychiatrist at NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, N.Y., who helps oversee a maternity mental health program. He reviewed the study's findings.\n\"The big challenge has been that there hasn't been much research in nonpregnant women of childbearing years. This is a particular subset of women that requires focus,\" he said.\n\"Depression is very treatable, but it has to be identified. This study found a large group of women that are being undertreated or not treated at all for depression. It shows we definitely have to become better at screening for depression,\" Karampahtsis noted.\nHe said the big public health concern is that about a quarter of adults with minor depressive symptoms go on to have major depression. \"Intervening early can have a significant impact,\" he said.\nThe study was published March 12 in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology.\nLearn more about depression in women from the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health.",

Not sure what it would be, but the desire is there for us to develop something that will alleviate traffic issues while also making it safer to travel...while not polluting the environment and not being beholden to foreign governments who are hostile to our way of life.\nIn a dense, urban-ish area, we could set up platforms on the tops of buildings or on top of current transportation stations where passengers can hop aboard a drone. These locations would be above the trees and power lines, close to current transportation hubs, and the air movements would not bother people who are not riding drones. I agree that this could be very doable. Maybe the Amazon Center Of Excellence in Nashville will be the first to propose this new method of transportation!\nhttps://kottke.org/19/01/creating-livable-city-streets\nInteresting little read. Definitely talks more about denser areas. But could easily describe suburbs built with no sidewalks or ways for the residents to interact.\nThe soon to start, $37,000,000 'Smart Corridor' project which will allow better operation of I-24 from Nashville to Murfreesboro by using Highway 41 as a parallel option to relieve some of the overflow through advanced Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology to balance traffic between the two routes. Some information....\nThis concept is based on Integrated Corridor Management projects implemented in five cities (Minneapolis, Dallas, etc.) by the Federal Highway Administration a decade or so ago. It is a less expensive option than adding lanes. And yes, if rapid commuter transit ever develops, it would easily be incorporated into the management scheme of this corridor.\nI hope the next project will be developed in Chattanooga to relieve congestion on I-24 which is persistent and ponderous by using Rossville Blvd/Georgia State Route 2 as a corridor alternative.\nramp metering, hell yeah!\nI was wasting time on Streetmix when I was supposed to be creating typical sections for a proposal and made up a section for lower Broadway. I think this is a good compromise between sidewalk width and vehicle laneage. Some notes:\nI know the honky-tonk owners don't want trees. But I've been drinking on Broadway in the middle of summer on more than one occasion. You need trees.\nAdditionally, the furnishing zone can be used for lighting, benches, trash cans, etc. It also provides a place for ride hailing and yes, scooter storage.\nThe center median can include left-turn lanes. I don't think the trees would be that big of a deal in obstructing views of temporary stages and/or fireworks. But they could always be shrubs or other greenery.\nThe outside lane can accommodate a travel lane during the AM and PM rush hour, loading/unloading zones in the midday, and ridesharing/taxi pickup and dropoff in the evening. It is wide enough to allow bikes and cars to coexist (though not sure how many people want to bike on lower Broadway). It might be possible for a car to squeeze by a parked vehicle if needed but TDOT traffic counts suggest that the road could get by with only one lane in each direction outside peak periods.\nWhere's the five feet for jesus?\nhttps://www.theverge.com/2019/1/15/18183786/electric-scooter-portland-data-analysis\nInteresting data from Portland on their scooter usage. I wonder if Nashville will do anything with all the data they are supposed to be getting.\n49 minutes ago, PaulChinetti said:\n\u201cThat is not letting the market determine how many scooters should be anywhere,\u201d Gabriel Scheer, Lime\u2019s director of strategic development, told The New York Times. \u201cHow do you unfetter us in a way that allows us to meet demand?\u201d\nIf we want to solve transportation problems in Nashville and middle Tennessee, we must let the market bring us solutions and let the users (us) decide on the viability of those solutions. We must elect council members who believe the market can solve problems and will let the market function, not those who think corporations are evil. Government hasn't fixed our transportation problems yet and they cannot fix them. Only new ideas from the marketplace, motivated by profits, will find the 'adjacent possible' and bring us a safer, more efficient, less costly transportation system in middle Tennessee.\nAgain, our role as Davidson county citizens is to elect council members who are likely to support the free market's ability to create and innovate, not those who want to fight and regulate.\nThere is no free market.\n32 minutes ago, grilled_cheese said:\nThis is reality. Libertarians have a view of the that is untethered from reality. The free market failures of the past 20 years have taught them no lessons.\nThere is no \u2018pure\u2019 anything except in theory.\ni will put the 'reality' version of a free-market up against the 'reality' version of socialism and communism and win every time.\nEdited January 17 by nashville_bound\n1 hour ago, samsonh said:\nCaught! If there is no free market, then there are no free market failures.\n1 hour ago, nashville_bound said:\nThe framing of this debate is always interesting. Anyone that doesn\u2019t believe unfettered capitalism is best is a socialist or communist. Lol\nOff to the Coffeehouse with all this political/economical ideology, please. Thanks.\nAgreed. The framing of the debate IS always interesting.\nSince we all agree that a truly unfettered free-market is not a reality why do you insist on referring to one? I referred to socialism and communism as the opposite extremes of the referenced free-market, I dd not imply you were a fan-boi of such a failed philosophy. I would hazard all on this board are capitalist and we are just debating whys and wherefores....\nbillgregg55 33\ni will put the 'reality' version of a free-market up against the 'reality' version of socialism and communism and win every time. \ufeff\nCurrent terminology does us no favors. What often passes for \"socialism\" is just capitalism with more regulation and/or redistribution. There aren't many countries left where the workers (i.e., the state) actually own the means of production, and no serious politician is advocating such a system for the US.\nEdited January 17 by billgregg55\n4 hours ago, samsonh said:\nWhere is this \"unfettered capitalism\" you speak of?\nBtw...anyone else notice the board's usual troll started another fire...like usual?\nIt was not my intention to start a debate about any of this, but only to reference how we can solve our transportation problems (in the broadest sense of the term). My point is this: cars, buses, trains, scooter and, possibly, transportation drones are not invented by government but by private enterprises seeking to the meet the needs of paying customers. Even if our local government was going to come up with a solution, it would be paid for by our tax dollars so we, the voting and paying public, would need to be convinced that government's solution was viable.\nSo, we should vote for council members who will allow private enterprise to come up with new ideas, like scooters, and allow us, the voting and paying public, the freedom to test the viability of the ideas.\nEh, that comment didn't help matters...\nEdited January 17 by e-dub\nProbably not. Sorry about that, everyone!\nCivility. That's what we need, civility.\nWell, back to the Transportation thread!!!!\nI was saying that mine didn't help anything, @Mr_Bond.\n1 minute ago, e-dub said:\nHonestly though...there's only one poster who continually makes comments that are meant to incite...and it's neither of you. All you have to do is scroll through the comments on this page and it's plain to see. This is a common theme with this person...and always disruptive.\nI don't find grilled_cheese's posts to be disruptive, though. He/she is a member of the forum who posts their opinion on things just like the rest of us.\nI think they post some tongue-in-cheek things sometimes, but I don't think that it's fair to act like they're the only one who ever does anything like that. For the record, I don't think that @Mr_Bond was meaning to incite an argument at all. Still, his initial post was exemplary of a pattern that I see a lot around here, which is loading posts with connotative language and buzzwords that heavily implies invitation to political arguments. Again, I don't know if it's always the poster's intentions for their thoughts to be read this way, but I know that there have been a couple of times where I had to try and stop myself from responding and advancing a discussion that wasn't really appropriate for this forum.\nIn keeping this on topic for transportation, I would caution against the free market necessarily being the ultimate solution to our transportation problems. In reality, the only private solutions that I have seen is ride-sharing (Uber, Lyft) and alternative forms (Bird and Lime). While these are nice contributions in their own right, they don't necessarily solve the problem of volume or accessibility in relation to congestion. Amtrak and Greyhound are private transportation systems that aren't exactly innovative or even well-run in a lot of cases. I also don't know if I feel completely comfortable with profitability being the chief-motivator behind a city's transportation system, but if there are better examples I'd be willing to check them out.\nI'm in agreement that we cannot wait on the free market to be the ultimate solution (unless we want to speculate about a world we don't live in today). The buyer of the biggest solutions will be government, in some form. The creative ideas, such as ride-sharing and scooters, come from the free market but government and their corporate cronies (taxi companies, for example) often step in to shutdown, regulate, or tax the new ideas before they have chance for the citizens to vote with their money as to the enjoyment and viability of the new ideas. Many new ideas fail but the ones that don't, matter. We should protect the 'try, fail, and try again' process so that the workable solutions eventually emerge.\nMy final point is that we, the voters who seek a solution to the transportation problems and are doing a little something about it by participating in this forum, should pay attention to a political candidate's attitude toward these types of new ideas. We need leaders who will contribute to solutions, not automatically block new ideas. Maybe we should ask the candidates to answer some questions about transit.\nOkay, I'm done. Anyone want to talk about scooters? I almost rode one from The Gulch to East Nashville yesterday but decided that the 3 mile trip during rush hour was too dangerous.",

        "raw_content": "Design Is The Most Important Aspect Of Your Landscaping\nStaying current on trends in home decor, both inside and outside, can be tough. Everyone sees the landscape of a home, but few think to improve their own. Take a look at the tips provided here, and start planning your own landscaping improvements.\nFor a fresh look for your landscape, re-edge the rock beds and flowerbeds with curves that are soft. Curved beds are more contemporary and up-to-date than sharp corners and straight lines. It doesn\u2019t cost much to cut fresh edges, but it can make your lawn and your flower bed look a whole lot nicer.\nCreating a list of what you need before you start landscaping is a tip that everyone will need to think about doing. There are few things more annoying than beginning a big project, like landscaping, only to realize you are short on half of the materials you need and must make another run to the store.\nTest your soil before beginning your landscaping project. When you have the soil tested, you will be able to determine if your soil needs additional material added to it so that your landscaping will thrive. This will improve the quality of the plants in your yard or garden.\nYou\u2019ll save cash with timed purchases. If you purchase plants like shrubs and trees late in growing seasons you will save money because they are in lower demand. If you need lumber, the winter is usually when the prices are the lowest. New varieties of plants are always coming on the market, but it may be wiser to wait a year or two until the price drops, before you invest in them.\nPrior to doing any landscaping in your yard, consult with an expert. While you probably don\u2019t need them to work on the whole project, spending money for consultation can help you avoid in making expensive mistakes. If you are new to landscaping or are inexperienced, this expenditure may be of great help to you.\nUnlike what most people think, you do not need to hire a designer or landscaper to do you desired projects. This just ends up costing you lots and lots of money. It is a good idea to meet with a landscaping expert that can let you know what you should be expected to do and what to avoid.\nBefore embarking on a DIY landscape project, it may be wise to consult with a professional to get their thoughts on your plans. They will give you tips and tricks that are invaluable to help you save money and shorten the duration of the project. It should only cost about $75 for an hour of their time, but that will be more than paid for thanks to their advice.\nNot only is landscaping practical, but the whole family can take part in it. So go outside and prepare to make your landscaping project a family activity that you can all enjoy. You will not only create some great memories of working together with your family, but you will improve your home\u2019s overall look as well.",

To search all Salt Lake City homes for sale use the Salt Lake City MLS search.\nSalt Lake City Real Estate Market\nSalt Lake City is the largest city in Utah, and the state capital. The city is home to around 200,000 residents, and provides jobs for almost 400,000 people. That number of jobs reflects 20% of the entire state's work force working in the city limits of Salt Lake.\nThe median price for Salt Lake City real estate is $242,000. The cost of living index for the city is 92.1 which is lower than the national average of 100. Salt Lake City offers a great public transportation system, with access to most parts of the city and metropolitan area.\nMany of the homes in the city date from pre\u2013World War II times, and only a select few areas, have seen new home construction since the 1970s. Recently there's been new construction north of downtown above the capital building and The Avenues.\nSalt Lake City Neighborhoods Real Estate\nSalt Lake City is made up of many neighborhoods or districts. Salt Lake City real estate values are higher on the east side of town than they are on the west. This is due to a number of elements, including the views from the foothills, the location of the University of Utah, and the fact the rail road runs through the west side of town. Interstate 15 runs north and south throughout the state which is a good landmark divider of the east and west sides of town.\nThe west side of the city, due to its more affordable nature has seen many professionals move into the neighborhood. The Marmalade District on the west side of Capitol Hill, was heavily gentrified and is now an eclectic and desirable location.\nSugar House, in southeastern Salt Lake City, is full of locally owned and niche stores. The district is also trendy and a d esireable neighborhood in Salt Lake. Due to its location outside of down town with easy access to all parts of the metropolitan area, the community is very active.\nJust northeast of Downtown is The Avenues, a Historical District that is nearly entirely\nresidential. The Avenues contain many historical Victorian era homes. The Avenues is becoming known for intimate restaurants and shops opening in old retail space. The Avenues are situated in the foothills of the Wasatch Range, and many homes provide a good view of the Salt Lake Valley. Many consider this some of the most desirable real estate in the valley.\nIn addition to larger centers like Sugar House and Downtown, Salt Lake City contains several smaller neighborhoods, each named after the closest major intersection. Two examples are the 9th and 9th (located at the intersection of 900 East and 900 South Streets) and 15th & 15th (located at the intersection of 1500 East and 1500 South Streets) neighborhoods. These areas are home to foot-traffic friendly, amenities-based businesses such as art galleries, clothing retail, salons, restaurants and coffee shops. Just after the Winter Olympics were hosted in the area, these neighborhoods saw some major improvements to the streets and community due to a grant from the city.\nRelocating to Salt Lake City?\nIf you are moving into or out of the Salt Lake area we offer complete relocation services.

        "raw_content": "Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger on float and insurance in 1996\nTranscribed comments via Outstanding Investor Digest from the 1996 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting:\nOur cheap, plentiful float springs from competitive advantage.\nBuffett: You achieve that in this business only by having some kind of competitive advantages. You won't do it just by having an ordinary insurance company - because an ordinary insurance company is not a good business.\nWe have it in certain respects because of our attitude toward the business. Our financial strength gives us certain advantages. And we have it in the case of GEICO because of a very low cost operation. And it's up to us to try and figure out ways to maximize each one of those competitive advantages over time.\nWe've built those advantages. In 1967, we weren't looked at that way in the insurance business. We've built a position of competitive strengths. And GEICO had it without us. But we bought into it over time.\nWould I accept $7 billion for our float? The answer is no....\nBuffett: So it's a very important asset. And you ought to pay a lot of attention over the years to what's happening with that asset - both as to growth and cost. And that will aid you in calculating intrinsic value....\nBut I will tell you this: We have $7 billion of float presently.... And if I were offered $7 billion for that float and did not have to pay tax on the gain, but would thereafter have to stay out of the insurance business forever - a perpetual non-compete in any kind of insurance - would I accept that?\nThat's not because I'd rather have $7 billion of float than have $7 billion of free money.\nIt's because I expect the $7 billion to grow.\nIt would have been a mistake - and one I'd have made.\nBuffett: If I'd been offered that trade 27 years ago of $17 million for the float we had at that time with no tax to be paid - float for which we'd just paid $8.7 million - in return for us to have gotten out of the insurance business, I might have said yes....\nMunger: You would've.\nMunger: But he keeps learning. That's one of his strengths.\nBuffett: That's probably true in this case. I'm not sure in other cases. But it would've been a terrible mistake. It would have been a mistake to do it 10 or 12 years ago with $300 million of float. And today, a tax-free payment of $7 billion would not compensate us adequately for giving up the opportunity of being in the insurance business forever at Berkshire - even though it'd be a $7 billion pure addition to equity. So we wouldn't take it. In fact, we wouldn't even think about it very long.\nSo, as Charlie says, that isn't the answer we'd have given some years back. But it's a very valuable business.\nIt's not automatic. But if they're run right and nurtured....\nBuffett: It has to be run right - as does GEICO, the reinsurance business, National Indemnity and the homestate companies.... And it's not automatic.\nBut they have the people, the distribution, the reputation, the capital strength and other competitive advantages in place. And, if nurtured, I think they become more valuable as time goes by.\n[H/T Linc]\n[And if anyone happens to, by any chance, have a copy of the August 27, 1992 Outstanding Investor Digest issue that they could pass along, I'd be much appreciative.

        "raw_content": "Home Things To Do Things To Do In Chester Chester Roman Amphitheatre\nChester Roman Amphitheatre was built in the late first century AD, when many such buildings were being constructed throughout the Roman Empire. It lay just outside the south-east corner of the Roman legionary fortress, and was probably used both for entertainments and for practising troop manoeuvres and weapon training.\nOnly about two-fifths of the oval amphitheatre is visible; the rest lies unexcavated behind the brick wall. In the excavated part, two entrances have been exposed: the larger lies on the long axis to the north, while the smaller lies on the short axis to the east. Lining the arena is the original stone wall, although, owing to later removal, some sections are missing and there is modern concrete backing.\nExcavations in the 1960s suggested that the building was originally constructed entirely of wood, but further archaeological investigation in 2001 cast doubt on this theory. The stone structure seen today had an outer wall 9 feet (2.7 metres) thick, marked out by concrete slabs set in the grass. Inside it ran a corridor linking the entrances that led to stairways taking the spectators up into the seating area.\nThere are many shops, food outlets and facilities nearby in the city centre, and the grounds of the amphitheatre are a great spot for a picnic.\nChester Roman Amphitheatre, Vicar\u2019s Lane, Chester, CH1 2HS\nPrevious articleThe Sandstone Trail\nNext articleChesterBoat \u2013 Sightseeing River Cruises and Private Hire",

        "raw_content": "Photo Exhibit Captures Portraits of Migrant Workers\nA new photo exhibit in Phnom Penh documents the stories of abuse faced by migrant workers abroad.\nUS journalist Karen Emmons and photographer Steve McCurry spent 18 months interviewing and photographing 25 women from four countries in Asia, where they documented stories of abuse, child labor, forced labor, human trafficking, rape and starvation of workers.\nThe exhibit of photographs \"No one should work this way\" is on display at the Foreign Correspondents Club in Phnom Penh.\nIn one image, an Indonesian woman named Sita, who suffered abuse as a domestic worker in Saudi Arabia, Oman and Hong Kong, sits on a staircase, looking into the camera. Her eyes look sorrowful. A caption reads: \u201cShe said, \u2018Come here, dog. Come here. You are stupid. You are a dog. Helper comes here.\u2019\u201d\nEmmons, who has spent more than 20 years in Asia, told VOA Khmer that she has heard a lot of abuse stories from reports, friends and other sources, which made her angry.\nThe project came about after she was asked to write a report for the International Labor Organization and met 25 women who were physically abused.\n\u201cI thought there must be so many people out there,\u201d she said. The challenge was to tell the stories of people who are being abused behind closed doors. When she learned about the women who had come home, she said, \u201cI thought, OK, we show the scars. That\u2019s how we do it, visually. These people have returned home. They are not in somebody\u2019s house. And the scars are the evidence of what\u2019s being done.\u201d\nMarisa Tan, managing director of Maid in Cambodia, an organization that trains Cambodian domestic workers in an effort to protect them, said Cambodians are not alone in being abused. The problem is international, she said. \u201cSometimes, people feel isolated, that it\u2019s only me, but it is not.\u201d\nSay Solyda, a staff member from the Documentation Center of Cambodia, who came to see the exhibition, said the photographs and stories helped her understand what she had read in news reports.\n\u201cI think it is important for me as a citizen to know about it, that is why I think I should spend one evening to join this event to understand clearly about the abuse of domestic workers,\u201d she said.\nEmmons said she hopes there will be more coverage of the issue and that one day people will be as aware of it as they are domestic violence.\n\u201cA lot of people know, maybe, that their neighbor isn\u2019t such a good employer and is doing horrible things to their domestic workers and they stay silent,\u201d she said. \u201cI just tried to create, one day, an atmosphere, an environment, where maybe they all feel less inclined to be silent.\u201d\nEmmons said that bans on migration, such as the one enacted by Prime Minister Hun Sen in 2011, in the wake of reports of abused workers, is not a solution.\n\u201cWomen will find a way to go,\u201d she said. \u201cSafe migration is the answer.\u201d That includes a strong labor law and the ratifying of ILO conventions. \u201cI\u2019d like to see Cambodia take the lead in the region and push for more mechanisms put in place to protect the migrants.\u201d\nIndonesia to Investigate Fishing Industry After Slaves Found on Island\nMigrant Workers Need Better Protection, Advocate Says",

        "raw_content": "Is America Ready for Agnez Mo?\nBehind the scenes of \u201cLong As I Get Paid\u201dPhoto: Courtesy of Agnez Mo\nAgnez Mo doesn\u2019t do anything by halves. On the Pacific Palisades set of the music video for \u201cLong as I Get Paid\u201d\u2014the debut single from her first international record, X\u2014the Indonesian pop artist called the shots, leading a team of dancers through complex choreography and belting out her self-assured \u201ctake that haters\u201d anthem at a location she scouted herself. Mo may have had her hands full, but her energy was palpable. \u201cI needed to make sure that what I envisioned really came to life,\u201d she said during a break in filming. \u201cI\u2019m my own biggest critic. I want things to be perfect. It\u2019s not about arrogance\u2014it\u2019s about realizing that I\u2019m evolving and I\u2019m moving in the right direction.\u201d\nWith today\u2019s launch of X, a confessional disc that she considers her most personal work to date, Mo enters the next phase of a career that has been exemplary from the start. Though she\u2019s a newcomer in the States, in Asia, where she\u2019s been performing since the age of 6, she has already been a chart-topping superstar for two decades. To her millions of fans there, she\u2019s as beloved for her outlandish fashions as she is for her sexually liberated lyrics set to edgy-yet-pop sounds created with American music industry staples like Timbaland and Danja. \u201cA lot of artists love to change up their teams, but I\u2019m not like that because I\u2019ve always believed that your squad should be a family,\u201d Mo said. \u201cI want the people who are there to be there because what we\u2019re creating together is cool, not just because they\u2019re getting paid. [So] when I found the right team, I wanted to stick with them.\u201d\nOn the fashion front, that has meant assembling a group of creative heavy hitters. Mo enlisted the talents of stylist Monica Rose, makeup artist Mylah Morales, and hairstylist Larry Sims, to create a series of visual identities for the album\u2019s music videos and to push her look beyond the expected. \u201cWhat I love about all three of them is that they listen to what I want and I listen to what they want,\u201d said Mo, who switches from sleek dominatrix to fresh-faced ingenue in the span of one video. \u201cIt\u2019s an exchange of ideas and a true collaboration.\u201d The group, who exchanged references over email and text, cites everything from Who\u2019s That Girl?\u2013era Madonna to Mo\u2019s Indonesian heritage as a source of inspiration. The resulting m\u00e9lange is distinctive, with baju adat traditional headdresses, Balmain, and vintage Chanel getting equal play.\n\u201cWhat I love about Agnez is how willing she is to take risks,\u201d said Rose, whose avant-garde selections for Mo are worlds away from the laid-back Calabasas style the stylist helped to popularize. \u201cShe never says no and she\u2019s always open to suggestions and input, which is a rare quality.\u201d Mo\u2019s adaptability also helps to make the job exciting for Sims. \u201cShe\u2019s a chameleon,\u201d he said. \u201cTo me, it\u2019s almost reminiscent of when I started to work with Lupita [Nyong\u2019o], because Agnez is just so game and eager to play.\u201d The sentiment was echoed by Morales, who compares Mo to that other pop star turned fashion influencer, Rihanna: \u201cAgnez has her vision of what she wants, and that is essential when you\u2019re working with an artist.\u201d\nBut for Mo, the fruition of her ideas isn\u2019t just about a great wardrobe; sharing her story remains paramount, even if it\u2019s occasionally at odds with the music industry\u2019s narrow view of female artists of color. \u201cI don\u2019t think that the music you\u2019re hearing [from me] is the first thing that comes to mind when people look at me,\u201d she says. \u201cThey look at my face and they think, \u2018Oh, she\u2019s Asian, so [the music] is going to be like this\u2019\u2014I\u2019ve [gone] through a lot of people who\u2019ve tried to tell me what do do.\u201d\nEven her status as a fashion rule-breaker comes with its own set of challenges. Though, like many in pop, she\u2019s translated her style into an eponymous clothing line, and frequently steps out in attention-grabbing runway looks, Mo isn\u2019t one for style without substance. \u201cI don\u2019t want to create something different simply for the sake of being different; that\u2019s not my purpose,\u201d she says. \u201cMy purpose is just to be myself, to create with authenticity. I grew up seeing a lot of different cultures, listening to all kinds of music, learning all these references\u2014that\u2019s what made me who I am today. Those are a part of me, and that\u2019s something that I want people to see.\u201d With the video already racking up 13.2 million views and counting on Vevo, it\u2019s clear that she\u2019s only just getting started.\nIn This Story:Musician",

        "raw_content": "VAS Presents Simon Shaheen and Near East Music Ensemble Sunday Afternoon\n\u2022 April 7, 2008 Share:\nWabash College\u2019s Visiting Artists will present Simon Shaheen and Near East Music Ensemble at 4 p.m., Sunday, April 13, in Salter Hall at the Fine Arts Center.\nSimon Shaheen dazzles his listeners as he leaps from traditional Arabic sounds to jazz and Western classical styles. His soaring technique, melodic ingenuity, and unparalleled grace have earned him international acclaim as a virtuoso on the oud and violin. One of the most significant Arab musicians and composers of his generation, Shaheen incorporates\nand reflects a legacy of Arabic music in his work, yet forging ahead to new frontiers and embracing many different styles in the process. This unique contribution to the world of arts was recognized in 1994 when Shaheen was honored with the prestigious National Heritage Award at the White House.\nIn the 1990s he released four albums of his own: Saltanah (Water Lily Acoustics), Turath (CMP), Taqasim (Lyrichord), and Simon Shaheen: The Music of Mohamed Abdel Wahab (Axiom), while also contributing cuts to producer Bill Laswell's fusion collective, Hallucination Engine (Island). He has contributed selections to soundtracks for The Sheltering Sky and Malcolm X , among others, and has composed the entire soundtrack for the United Nations-sponsored documentary, For Everyone Everywhere. Broadcast globally in December 1998, this film celebrated the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Human Rights Charter.\nBut perhaps his greatest success has come with Blue Flame (ARK21, 2001), where he leads his group, Qantara, on a labyrinthian journey through the world of fusion music to discover the heart of the Middle East. The album was nominated for 11 Grammy Awards, and the Los Angeles Times proclaimed the record \"stunning.\"\nShaheen is Palestinian and hails from the village of Tarshiha in the Galilee. He began playing on the oud, a Middle Eastern lute, at the age of five, and a year later studying violin at the Conservatory for Western Classical Music in Jerusalem. He graduated from the Academy of Music in Jerusalem and completed graduate studies at the Manhattan School of Music and Columbia University.\nSeating for Visiting Artists Series events will be by general admission, though free tickets are required for Visiting Artists Series programs.\nContact the Fine Arts Center Box Office by email at boxoffice@wabash.edu; or phone: 765-361-6411. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:30 to 4 p.m. The box office will open 90 minutes before curtain time for Visiting Artists events. Tickets not claimed at the Box Office 10 minutes prior to curtain will be released to the general public.\nGet directions to Wabash College #GetLoc.LocationName#",

Credit:Nine\nOn Friday, he was refused bail and remanded in custody, to appear again at Hornsby Local Court on March 11.\nIt is understood Mr Morrison had allegedly been ejected from suburban wine bar Kipling's Garage Bar for being too intoxicated, when he passed a large group of teenagers in a park on Gilroy Rd, Turramurra.\nAn altercation then broke out between Mr Morrison and some of the teenagers, before the 34-year-old allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed six of the teens.\nA nearby witness said they heard screams from a group of around 10 to 15 people in the park.\n\"There was just a whole lot of screaming that we heard,\" he said at the time.\n\"One sounded like a young man, who was yelling at the top of his lungs, and then also a young female as well who was yelling. We didn't think about calling the police because it sounded like it was just a party or something going on.\"\nA NSW Ambulance spokesman said \"it was very chaotic. There were lots of people running around.\"\nA 16-year-old girl who was stabbed was taken to hospital with a collapsed lung and underwent surgery.\nSix teenagers suffered stab wounds during the fight in the Turramurra Park.

        "raw_content": "\u201cYou\u2019re really going to go?\u201d I asked whilst following Harry back into the bedroom.\nHe turned to face me once we were in the bedroom, \u201cYeah. I have to, it\u2019s the only way to find out if it\u2019s true.\u201d\n\u201cJust be careful, please. You have no idea who left that note.\u201d\n\u201cI will, baby,\u201d he assured me before planting a kiss on my lips.\n\u201cSo, why exactly am I staying here with Louis until you get back?\u201d I asked as he went to the bedside table to get his phone.\n\u201cBecause, like you said, I have no idea who left that note. It could have been someone after you that somehow found out where you were and they were just trying to get rid of me so I wouldn\u2019t be in the way. I trust him enough to leave him with you and know that he\u2019ll keep you safe if anything happens.\u201d\n\u201cWhat if there\u2019s someone after you?\u201d\nHe looked at me, but stayed silent.\nIs there someone after him? Why wouldn\u2019t he tell me if there was? I mean, I know he wouldn\u2019t want me to be worried, but at the same time I feel like I have the right to know that. Then again, maybe I don\u2019t. I really don\u2019t know anymore.\nWe just got back into this; I need to relax and stop worrying so much. Like he said before, we can do this if we try. I believe that we can too; it\u2019s just hard to know what\u2019s the right thing to do now. We\u2019ve been apart for so long that it\u2019s almost even a little awkward sometimes.\nIt feels like neither of us are sure what the right thing to say is or if we\u2019re going about doing this the right way. I don\u2019t like that feeling. I miss us\u2026the old us. I even miss some of the stupid fights we had. It was like we were more comfortable with each other then and now we can\u2019t tell how the other is feeling or what they\u2019re thinking.\nWe grew apart in a sense; but I just want to go back to the way things were before. Hopefully we get there soon because living in question of whether or not you\u2019re doing things right is frustrating and stressful.\nMaybe I should talk to him about it when he gets back. Well, maybe not right then depending on what happens, but sometime in the near future.\n\u201cI don\u2019t think there is. Most people are smart enough to know that I\u2019ll kick their ass,\u201d he smirked before kissing my cheek and walking past me.\nI turned around in just enough time to grab a hold of his hand, \u201cDo you really have to go?\u201d\nHe sighed softly whilst brining his hand to the side of my jaw, \u201cI\u2019m going to be fine. Okay? You don\u2019t have to worry about me.\u201d\n\u201cBut I just got you back\u2026I don\u2019t want to lose you again,\u201d I replied honestly as tears built up in my eyes.\n\u201cDon\u2019t cry, baby. I\u2019ll only be gone for about an hour and I will tell Louis if I think it might take longer. I\u2019m going to come back and everything\u2019s going to be fine.\u201d\nHis lips pressed against mine one last time before he left and I was alone with Louis.\nI went back downstairs to the sitting room and sat on the couch, propping my elbows up on my knees and resting my head in my hands.\nGod, I hate all this paranoia that I have developed since Shawn abducted me and held me hostage in my own basement. It\u2019s not fun to always be thinking about all the bad things that could happen instead of the good things.\nAt this point all I\u2019m thinking is that either this was a setup to capture Harry, his sister is dead which I know he will be a wreck after having that confirmed, or this person actually knows nothing and is just trying to find Harry\u2019s weakness. His biggest weakness has to be talk about his immediate family; I can\u2019t think of anything else that could hurt him so badly.\n\u201cAre you okay?\u201d Louis asked as he came into the sitting room and sat on the opposite end of the couch.\n\u201cNo,\u201d I huffed, sitting back up and rubbing my hands over my knees.\n\u201cEven if I told you, you wouldn\u2019t understand.\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s just me being paranoid.\u201d\n\u201cAbout Harry?\u201d\n\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t worry, I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll be fine. Harry has no problem beating the shit out of someone who tries to mess with him.\u201d\n\u201cYou know he asked me to marry him,\u201d I mentioned without thinking it through.\n\u201cYeah\u2026last year.\u201d\n\u201cThat didn\u2019t turn out so well, huh?\u201d\nI shook my head, \u201cNo, it didn\u2019t. But now it seems like something\u2019s different between us. We used to be so connected and loving. We fought about the stupidest things and now it\u2019s like we don\u2019t even really talk\u2026\u201d\n\u201cSo, you\u2019re not paranoid about him meeting whoever about his sister, but you\u2019re paranoid about if he still loves you?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m paranoid about both. I don\u2019t know what to do and he said you were his best friend. Do you know anything or could you tell me something to do to get him to stop being so closed off?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019ve known him long enough to know that I have never seen him look at anyone the way he looks at you. It\u2019s hard to get Harry to open up to anyone really, so I\u2019m not sure what I can tell you about that. But I can tell you this; he never stopped talking about you, even after you split up. I\u2019m highly certain that he really did love you and that he still does today.\u201d\n\u201cThank you, that actually did make me feel a little better.\u201d\n\u201cNo problem, but I think you should talk to him so that he knows what you\u2019re feeling.\u201d\nAn incessant ringing of the doorbell interrupted me in midsentence. I got up from the couch to get the door and as soon as I opened it, my eyes widened.\nThere was a girl standing in front of me with dirty clothes and greasy brown hair that was very messy. Her green eyes were full of fear as she made eye contact with me.\n\u201cSorry, but who are you?\u201d I asked.\n\u201cMy name\u2019s Melissa\u2026I\u2019m Harry\u2019s sister.\u201d\nWait, if she\u2019s here, then where the hell is Harry?",

        "raw_content": "By Julie Montanaro |\nConor and Ann.\nTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) \u2013 \"I never thought of the relationship as abusive and I never thought of myself as abusive, but then I hit Ann.\"\nThe message is part of a public service announcement aimed at teens who find themselves in tumultuous and violent relationships. The man making it is doing time in prison for killing his girlfriend during an argument.\nConor McBride is a murderer. He'll tell you so himself.\nBut, thanks to something called \"restorative justice,\" his girlfriend's family has forgiven him and together they're encouraging other perpetrators and victims of violence to try it.\n\"It was a total shock to us. We couldn't process it,\" Kate Grosmaire said as she recalled that Sunday afternoon in March 2010.\nAndy and Kate Grosmaire described a ring of the doorbell and the shock of their lives. Their daughter Ann had been shot and her fiance, Conor McBride, had already turned himself in for pulling the trigger.\n\"There is no why. I made a terrible mistake. I got angry,\" McBride said as he sat in prison blues at Wakulla Correctional Institution.\nMcBride confessed to grabbing a shotgun and shooting Ann during a heated breakup.\n\"There's not a day goes by that I don't think about what happened and not a day goes by that I don't regret what happened, what I did,\" he said.\nThe Grosmaires recalled rushing to the hospital, standing vigil at the 19-year-old's bedside and hoping for a recovery that never happened.\n\"It was about two o'clock in the morning. I was just standing over her, praying that she would get better and I heard her clearly say just as you and I are sitting here, 'Forgive him,'\" Andy Grosmaire said.\nGrosmaire says then it happened again.\n\"I saw a transformation there in the hospital bed with Ann. Jesus Christ appeared with her and I realized it wasn't Ann just asking me to forgive him, it was Jesus.\"\n\"That week when Ann was in the hospital, I thought a lot about what Ann would want for us and every time I thought about that I came back to Ann would want us to be at peace,\u201d Kate Grosmaire said. \"I knew I would have to forgive Conor to find that peace.\"\nKate Grosmaire went to visit Conor in jail and did that just days later. Her husband sent a message too: 'Tell Conor I love him and I forgive him.' It was the same day Ann died.\n\"It seems hard to believe sometimes the forgiveness they showed,\" McBride said. \"I'm the offender. I'm the person who harmed their daughter. I'm the person who killed their daughter and yet they're still showing support. That's amazing. That's not normal.\"\nThat's how it started and within months, the Grosmaires would begin exploring the possibility of a \"restorative justice\" circle.\n\"We wanted to know what happened. How did a breakup fight turn into the death of our daughter?\" Kate Grosmaire said.\nIt was a chance to face each other and speak freely about what happened that day and the impact it had on everyone involved.\n\"First, I wanted to tell Conor what Ann meant to us, because she meant the world to us,\u201d Andy Grosmaire said. \u201cHe had only known her for a couple of years and we had known her her whole life, 19 years. She was ready to go out and tackle the world and do great things and this is what I wanted to tell him. This is what you took from us.\"\n\"Hearing that, hearing the pain I caused and then having to take responsibility for it, those are the two hardest things I've ever had to do,\" McBride said.\nThat circle consisted of Conor, his parents and the Grosmaires, plus a priest, a prosecutor and a defense attorney. All of them crowded into a small room at the Leon County jail for five long and painful hours.\n\"Those concrete walls in that tiny room must have cracked. They should have cracked with all of the emotion that was in that room,\" said Conor\u2019s mother, Julie McBride.\n\"It was excruciating,\" his father, Michael McBride, said.\n\"That was more painful and more punishing than any amount of time I will ever do,\" Conor McBride said.\nThe candor of it all, they say, is in stark contrast to the criminal justice system.\n\"It's not an easy path. It's not soft on crime. It makes everybody take responsibility,\u201d Michael McBride said. \u201cThe judicial system says, 'don't talk to anybody, keep it bottled up.' So, through the whole process, they never say, 'Yes I did it.' They never have the opportunity to say, 'I'm sorry.' They go to prison with all this bottled up anger and aggression and guilt.\"\nWhen it was over, Conor McBride received a 20-year prison sentence and 10 years of probation. The conditions were partly fashioned by Ann's parents: anger management, volunteer work that Ann would have done and speaking out on teen dating violence.\n\"I never considered myself abusive, but I was,\" Conor says in a public service announcement he taped behind bars. \u201cPlease seek help.\"\n\"Prison was the right place for him to go,\u201d Andy Grosmaire said. \u201cThe question was really, how long? And is there redemption for people? And we totally believe there is redemption for people.\"\n'We weren't looking to get a lighter sentence for Conor, we were looking to get a meaningful sentence for him,\u201d Kate Grosmaire said. \u201cIt didn't serve us to have him sit in a jail cell for the rest of his life, we wanted something that in some way could pay back for taking Ann's life. You can't possibly pay that debt.\"\n\"Their ability to say we're not going to define you by a single moment, that has allowed me to move forward and start healing myself,\" McBride said. \"I have an obligation to change. I have a responsibility to make things as right as possible.\"\nThe Grosmaires say spreading the word about the power of forgiveness and the potential for restorative justice has become Ann's legacy.\n\"If I had not forgiven him with my anger and bitterness, I would have been locked up in a cell right there next to him,\" Andy Grosmaire said. \"It's a scenario I just couldn't imagine and I wouldn't want it for anybody else. There is a door to forgiveness that you can walk through and it's so much better on the other side.\"\nThe Grosmaires and McBrides will be sharing their story and answering questions about restorative justice at a documentary screening and panel discussion next week. They, and Tallahassee mother Agnes Furey, are featured in a documentary called \u201cAnother Justice.\u201d\nThe screening and discussion will be Wednesday, January 30 at 7 p.m. at Good Shepherd Church in Tallahassee.",

        "title": "A New Tax Code? | Wealth Management",
        "raw_content": "A New Tax Code?\nAn analysis of the various scenarios and how they could affect charitable giving.\nChristopher Woehrle | Sep 26, 2017\nThe Republican-controlled Congress is attempting to pass a generational reform of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in the amount of time the House Ways and Means Committee (Ways and Means) of the 99th U.S. Congress needed to vote out a bill for consideration by the full House.1 In addition to the hurdle of time, there\u2019s the hurdle of persuading the broad public. Congress and President Trump will need to argue convincingly that lower marginal corporate tax rates will benefit not only shareholders and consumers but also workers. The economic research on the allocation of the burden of the corporate tax among labor, capital and consumers is unclear.2\nThe Tax Reform Act of 1986 achieved revenue neutrality by raising taxes on corporations to finance individual tax cuts.3 \u201cCongress found it unjustifiable that under prior law some corporations reported large earnings and paid significant dividends to their shareholders, yet paid little or no taxes to the government.\u201d4 The equity or fairness issue isn\u2019t a consideration for this go round on tax reform, notwithstanding that very few corporations pay the 5 percent corporate statutory rate. An analysis of taxes paid by Fortune 500 companies between 2008 and 2015 showed 18 companies paid no income taxes over the entire period; 258 corporations paid an average rate of 21.2 percent.5\nThe cost of revenue neutrality on this round of tax reform will either be tax increases on individuals or temporary tax reform. With the evaporation of the revenue stream from the border adjustment levy, either the goal of revenue neutrality will be achieved by raising taxes on the highest income taxpayers, or additional deficits will be accepted as part of a mid-December extension on the debt limit.\nThe Tyranny of the Numbers\nFull expensing of capital expenditures coupled with lowering the top corporate rate of 35 percent, while laudable, is extremely expensive. According to the Tax Foundation, the cost of a top rate of 25 percent and full expensing would be between $1.2 trillion and $2.8 trillion.6 Lowering the top rate alone would cost between $449 billion and $1.085 trillion.7 Until Ways and Means votes a bill out of Committee, recommendations about year-end tax planning require an educated guess.\nOne needs to know the cost of sought-after reforms to predict what provisions are vulnerable to repeal.\nThe Department of Treasury\u2019s Office of Tax Analysis annually analyzes the lost revenue from all tax expenditures under the IRC. (See \u201cIncome Tax Expenditures,\u201d p. 18.) The most expensive tax expenditures have broad public appeal, supporting charitable giving, home ownership, retirement savings and health insurance.\nRaising the revenue for individual and corporate rate reductions isn\u2019t as easy as repealing the most expensive tax preference. For example, eliminating the exclusion of employer-sponsored health insurance would raise $3.1 trillion to $3.4 trillion,8 providing not only the replacement revenue from the repeal of the net investment income tax (NIIT) but also finance corporate rate cuts. Of course, that repeal is a nonstarter for this Congress as its predecessors delayed the effective tax of the Cadillac tax on high benefit plans. Eliminating the charitable contribution would raise about $665 billion to $692 billion,9 but Congress is moving in the direction of preserving or maybe even expanding the deduction.\nCould there be less drastic approaches than complete elimination of a deduction, perhaps a limit by dollar amount or marginal tax rate? A limit on the total value of itemized deductions at a fixed amount could raise around $1.9 trillion if the ceiling were set at $25,000.10 Another limit could be based on a marginal rate of 28 percent, meaning those in the 39.6 percent bracket have their taxes increase by 11.6 percent of the charitable contribution. This approach would raise between $217 billion to $301 billion.11\nProbably the biggest bargaining chip the Trump administration and Republican Congress have is repeal of the deduction for state and local income and property taxes. Not only does it raise meaningful revenue, but also it has the political advantage for the majority party of being paid by the \u201chigh tax\u201d blue states of New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois and California.\nImpact on Giving\nHere are the likely provisions to be part of a comprehensive or limited reform of the Tax Code and how they\u2019ll affect giving.\nRepeal of the alternative minimum tax (AMT). If the reform legislation eliminates the deduction for state and local income and property taxes, the lost revenue will be diminished. Taxpayers who itemize with the state tax or miscellaneous itemized deductions are the most likely to pay it.12 Were that deduction retained, the revenue losses from the repeal of the AMT would be between $354 billion and $428 billion.13\nThe removal of the AMT enhances transparency and ease of determining one\u2019s marginal rate and thus increases the savings from charitable contributions. Depending on the finalized rates on taxable income, the cost of charitable giving could decline if the new rates are less than any of the applicable AMT rates of 26 percent, 28 percent, 32.5 percent or 35 percent.\nNo longer will the donor\u2019s advisor need to determine whether the AMT position is either permanent or temporary because of some outlier income inclusions or deductions.\nRepeal of the NIIT. To the surprise of many, the NIIT is still standing. The last serious attempt for its repeal will be the tax reform legislation. Its repeal would cost between $444 billion and $628 billion over 10 years and improve the after-tax income of the top 1 percent between 2.7 percent and 3.4 percent.14 Because this group contains the most generous givers, more giving might be possible even if their marginal tax rates on capital income decline.\nIntroduction of the above-the-line charitable deduction subject to a floor. Dramatically increased standard deductions will eliminate the need for most taxpayers to itemize deductions. A floor based on a percentage of adjusted gross income (AGI) also has potential to reduce charitable giving. A reduction in the top marginal rate from 39.6 percent to 35 percent increased the cost of charitable giving from $60.4/$100 contribution to $65/$100 contribution, an increase of 7.6 percent.\nThe reduction in charitable giving with a 2 percent floor is significant but borne most by those with income under $1 million because they give 2 percent of AGI. (See \u201cImpact of 2 Percent AGI Floor,\u201d this page.) Even incomes at the $1 million to $1.5 million range would be dramatically reduced. The least impact would be on those with income greater than $10 million.\nRepeal of Pease limitation. Higher income and not the amount of charitable or other itemized deductions triggers the Pease limitation.15 It reduces itemized deductions by 3 cents for income earned above an inflation-adjusted threshold based on filing status. No more than 80 percent of the itemized deductions may be reduced, thus operating as a 3 percent surtax on the marginal rate. For example, it raises the top marginal rate to 39.6 percent x 1.03 percent or 40.788 percent. Its repeal will thus lower marginal rates but increase the after-tax cost of giving. But remember, the Pease limitation likely impacts few charitable givers as nondiscretionary deductions for taxes and mortgage interest expense absorb most of it.\nImpact on Charitable Planning\nAn additional uncertainty about a tax reform bill is its effective date. Will it be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2017? Retroactivity is politically attractive for the legislators, as taxpayers will be seeing their refunds when filing in April 2018 before the primary and general election cycles. If retroactive, any reductions on marginal tax rates make charitable and other itemized deductions more expensive than contemplated by the donors when they made their gift.\nWhat if the effective date is in 2018? There will be a likely frenzy of year-end giving to take advantage of the current law and avoid the impact of likely restrictions on giving imposed by a floor based on AGI and lower marginal tax rates.\nThere\u2019s one hedging technique, albeit an imperfect one, to address having made a 2017 contribution when the marginal rates are retroactively reduced. A Roth individual retirement account conversion done in 2017 can be undone if needed should the rates be lower in 2018. If the rates are lower in 2017 because of a retroactive effective date, that charitable contribution reduces the taxes on income from the conversion. Of course, the lower rates reduce the savings from any charitable contributions. If, however, the taxpayer had tried to zero out the gains from the Roth IRA conversion with a charitable contribution of an identical amount, then the taxpayer still has avoided creating a net gain from the Roth IRA conversion.\nA Default Reform on the Horizon?\nThe entrenched beneficiaries under the IRC often protected by bipartisan support create the political momentum toward greater, not less, complexity. Losers under any reform are often quickly identified; winners may either not be readily identified or be skeptical of their improved fortunes. It took Congress only four years to raise marginal rates after the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Skepticism about the durability of any reform is appropriate. Any enacted legislation branded as \u201creform\u201d will be more about tax cuts, though some groups may well be paying more.\nThe revenue needed to provide dramatic corporate income tax rate reductions ultimately will need to come from a new source in a future Congress. What was so intriguing about the border adjustment tax was its originality and impressive revenue potential. Unfortunately, the difficulty in clearly explaining its operation and the lack of a track record in predicting price rises doomed it from serious legislative consideration.\nThe impressive revenue-raising potential of a 5 percent value added tax (VAT) estimated to be between $5.8 billion to $6.2 billion over a 10-year period could finance much of the corporate rate reductions as well as expensing of capital expenditures.16 Former Treasury Secretary and later Harvard University President Larry Summers once quipped that a VAT will be enacted once Democrats accept its regressivity as the price of access to a vast source of revenue. Republicans will accept its revenue potential as the price of making the tax system more regressive.17\n1. The House Ways and Means Committee conducted 26 days of markup on tax reform beginning on Sept. 18, 1985. The Committee voted out a bill on Dec. 7, 1985. The full House approved by voice vote the bill on Dec. 17. See Joint Committee on Taxation, General Explanation of Tax Reform Act of 1986, at pp. 1-2.

        "raw_content": "News Release \u2022 TAGS: Cancer, Genetics\nREHOVOT, ISRAEL\u2014February 26, 2007\u2014Cancer cells differ from normal cells in, among other things, the way they divide. When a normal cell complies with a signal telling it to divide, it also begins to activate a \u201cbraking system\u201d that eventually stops cell division and returns the cell to a resting state. When that braking system is faulty, uncontrolled cell division and the growth of cancer can result. Weizmann Institute scientists studied this system of brakes, and identified a number of the genes involved.\nAccording to the study\u2019s findings, which appeared today in Nature Genetics online, aberrations in the activities of these genes are tied to certain types of cancer, as well as to the relative aggressiveness of the cancer. These insights may, in the future, lead to the development of ways to restore the brakes on runaway cell division and halt the progression of cancer.\nFirst, the scientists mapped the network of genes that is activated in normal cells upon receiving the order to divide. The \u201cdivide!\u201d signal comes from outside the cell in the form of a chemical called a growth factor, and it initiates a chain of events inside the cell. The genes activated in this sequence produce proteins, some of which cause cell division and others that put the brakes on that division. To find which genes were responsible, the scientists needed to sift through a huge quantity of data on genes and their activities. To cope with this monumental task, a team of Weizmann Institute researchers from diverse fields pooled their knowledge and experience: Prof. Yosef Yarden of the Biological Regulation Department, Prof. Eytan Domany of the Physics of Complex Systems Department, Prof. Uri Alon of the Molecular Cell Biology Department, and Dr. Eran Segal of the Computer Science and Applied Mathematics Department. Working with them were Prof. Gideon Rechavi of the Sheba Medical Center and researchers from the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, headed by Prof. Gordon B. Mills.\nThis collaboration between physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and biologists\u2014the sort of multidisciplinary research for which the Weizmann Institute has gained a global reputation\u2014yielded some startling results. They found that following the receipt of the growth factor signal, cell activity takes place in a number of separate waves in which genes are turned on and off for different periods of time. In the first wave, the activity of a few genes rises for about 20 to 40 minutes. These are the genes that cause the cell to divide. In contrast, the next four waves, ranging from 40 to 240 minutes after the signal, are comprised primarily of gene activity tied to the process of halting cell division.\nThe scientists then focused on identifying the genes in these later waves and confirming that they do, indeed, put the brakes on cell division. Through their wide-ranging study, they found 50 genes that interfere with the genetic activities of the first wave. This braking system works by producing proteins that directly attach to the cell-division genes, hindering their activity. Yet another protein they identified works, instead, by dismantling messenger RNA carrying instructions for making cell division proteins from the genes to the cell\u2019s protein-production machinery.\nIn tests conducted on tissues from ovarian cancer patients, the scientists found a correlation between levels of activity in the \u201cbraking\u201d genes, rates of survival, and the aggressiveness of the disease. These findings point the way toward the development of a personal genetic profile that might pinpoint the genetic defects responsible for each cancer and help doctors tailor a treatment fitted to each patient. Such a genetic profile can also help predict the individual progression of the disease. In the future, the identification of the exact factors causing uncontrolled cell division in different cancers might lead to the development of effective treatments for preventing or halting cancer growth.\nAlso participating in the research were research students Ido Amit, Ami Citri, Gabi Tarcic, and Menachem Katz of the Biological Regulation Department, and Tal Shay of the Physics of Complex Systems Department.\nProf. Yosef Yarden's research is supported by the M.D. Moross Institute for Cancer Research; the Goldhirsh Foundation; the Batsheva De Rothschild Foundation; Daniel Falkner, UK; the estate of Dr. Marvin Klein, Farmington Hills, MI; and Mr. and Mrs. Bram Laub, Belgium.

        "raw_content": "With men holding the majority of roles within engineering and applied sciences, it is crucial that they are involved making the cultural changes needed to attract and retain women in engineering and applied sciences. The Men as Allies Award, launched in 2017, seeks to celebrate a male engineer, or professional male working within the engineering, technical and applied sciences sectors, who has gone above the call of duty to support his female colleagues and address the gender imbalance within engineering and applied sciences.\nStephen Reid is the 2018 winner of the Men as Allies Award. Stephen has delivered training to many women, teaching them how to code as part of the HerCapital program and in a bootcamp where 100% of the 50 women said they would consider a career in tech. Stephen has taught a masterclass on How to think like an Engineer and created and taught a workshop for Witty Careers, an organisation that supports women to get into tech. Betty Bonnardel-Azzarelli, Chair of the judging panel said \u201cWith the great quality of applications received for the Men as Allies award, judges have found it difficult to pick only one winner, but Stephen Reid was consistently named as one of the top contenders by all judges. In addition to his day job, Stephen has been teaching computing to women with charities, and has also contributed to leading research on the prevalence of bias in machine learning.\u201d\nThe 2017 winner was Dr Will Whittow, Senior Lecturer in Electronic Material Integration, University of Loughborough\nSarah Peers, Vice President of WES and chair of the judging panel said \u201cOur first ever Men As Allies award winner is the tweeter-par-excellence Will Whittow, lecturer at Loughborough University. He not only impressed us with his advocacy of women in engineering and the reach he has achieved, but he inspired not only one but four separate nominations!\u201d\nWill Whittow said \u201cI\u2019m genuinely delighted and honoured to win this award. There are so many incredible people who work tirelessly to promote women in engineering. Engineers will imagine, engineer and develop the next generation of Intelligent transport and manufacturing; advanced communications; healthcare for an ageing population; renewable energy for the planet; robotics for virtually everything; and so much more. Engineering is everything and for everyone. We need to inspire all the talent to engineer a better world.\u201d",

        "title": "The New Wave of Coastal Ocean Observing : Oceanus Magazine",
        "raw_content": "By Heidi M. Sosik, James B. Edson, John Trowbridge, Michael Carlowicz :: Originally published online January 6, 2005\nMost traditional means of observing the ocean have their limits. Research ships and submarines must return to port. Robots and moored instruments run out of battery power. Satellites have stamina but their view does not penetrate into the depths. Ships and subs can carry only a few scientists at a time, and never into dangerous but scientifically interesting conditions such as hurricanes. Consequently, scientists have had to be satisfied with intermittent glimpses of the environment.\nThe next wave of ocean science will be done full time, and in real time. In recent years, ocean scientists and engineers have been developing new ways to go to sea\u2014and stay out there\u2014without getting seasick. They have been plugging instruments into seafloor nodes connected directly to shore-based labs, and using electro-optic-power cables to transmit steady streams of power and data.\nAt locations such as the Martha\u2019s Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, researchers have staked out a parcel of ocean and are observing it with 24/7 vigilance, with the potential to do so for years. They can continuously measure what is happening on the sandy ocean bottom, in the water column from the seafloor to the surface, and in the air above it. And they can do it while sitting at their desks. Thanks to the cables, data from the sea are freely available on the Internet in real time to an unlimited number of scientists.\nUnconstrained by time, space, and foul weather, scientists are starting to use coastal observatories to move past the snapshots of ocean processes, the restricting \u201cbefores\u201d and \u201cafters\u201d that do not allow them to learn what happened in between. Now they can illuminate processes. How do storms rearrange shorelines and seafloor sediments? What is exchanged at the interface between air and water, and how does it affect coastal weather? Why do currents change seasonally? How do environmental changes affect plankton at the base of the marine food chain?\nNew window on the Atlantic\nBuilt in stages since 2000 on the south shore of Martha\u2019s Vineyard, MVCO provides a natural laboratory to study key coastal processes in the North Atlantic. Permanent and project-specific instruments have measured the motion and strength of currents, the movement of sediments, the cycles of microscopic plants and animals and the bottom-dwelling creatures that eat them, the exchange of gases and aerosols between the ocean and atmosphere, and coastal meteorology.\nJust 90 minutes from Woods Hole on WHOI\u2019s coastal research vessel Tioga, MVCO is exposed to the open ocean and a wide range of conditions, including energetic tides and surface waves, and winds ranging from dead calm in summer to intense storms in fall and winter. In a seasonal rhythm, offshore waters become stratified in summer, with warmer surface waters atop denser, colder waters; in winter, the water column becomes homogeneous again.\nThe National Science Foundation (NSF) and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution shared the costs to build a small, inland shore lab, a 10-meter mast with meteorological instruments at the ocean\u2019s edge, and a seafloor node 12 meters below the sea surface and 1.5 kilometers from the shore. Cables connect the sensors at the mast and sea node to computers and communications devices in the shore lab.\nIn 2002, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) provided support for the design, construction, and deployment of an Air-Sea Interaction Tower (ASIT) about 3 kilometers from Martha\u2019s Vineyard. The tower stands in 15 meters of water and extends 22 meters above the water line into the atmosphere. It is connected through its own fiber-optic cable to the shore lab.\nThe node and tower act as scaffolding and \u201cextension cords,\u201d allowing scientists to install instruments in the coastal environment, then return home to collect data over the Internet. If equipment fails, they can quickly detect the problem and go fix it.\nWind, rain, or dark of night\nIn addition to long-term, continuous, and easily accessible streams of data, coastal observatories provide other advantages. Structures such as MVCO can allow scientists to chronicle the processes at work during extreme events that were previously difficult to study.\nFor instance, scientists have spent decades making shipboard expeditions to measure how the air and sea exchange heat, water, gases, and momentum. But they have learned little about what happens when wind speeds exceed 40 to 50 knots because no ship captain will intentionally cruise into a hurricane and risk lives to make such measurements. Even in less extreme circumstances, the natural movement of a research vessel leaves scientists wondering how much of what they measure is real and how much of it is \u201cship noise.\u201d\nCoastal observatories also can help engineers who are developing and testing new instruments. For instance, researchers working on power-hungry, advanced sensors have plugged into MVCO to test the effectiveness of their instruments without the power limits of batteries or the time limits of ship-based expeditions.\nToday, WHOI scientists and engineers are working with colleagues from around the country, using MVCO for a variety of interdisciplinary and multi-institutional research projects. These have included:\nThe Coupled Boundary Layers and Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST) program, supported by ONR. This experiment, conducted in the summer of 2003, focused on the dynamic interaction between winds, waves, and ocean-mixing processes as they exchange heat, water, energy, and gases (such as carbon dioxide) between the ocean and atmosphere. These exchanges are fundamental processes that determine coastal weather and play a critical but oft-unappreciated role in global climate.\nSurface Processes and Acoustic Communications (SPACE), and Optics, Acoustics, and Stress In Situ (OASIS), supported by ONR. Investigators are evaluating how bubbles near the sea surface and suspended sediments in the water column affect the propagation of sound and light underwater. Bubbles, turbulence, and sediments accumulate and behave differently in shallow water\u2014where the Navy is primarily working today\u2014than in deep water\u2014the region of most naval interest during the Cold War. The Navy relies on the accurate transmission and reception of sound and light signals for underwater communication and remote sensing.\nPlankton dynamics experiments, supported by NSF and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Long-term studies of plankton dynamics\u2014to learn how, when, where, and why microscopic marine plants and animals flourish\u2014take advantage of two newly developed instruments: the FlowCytobot and the Autonomous Vertically Profiling Plankton Observatory (AVPPO). FlowCytobot is a laser-based system to monitor and identify microscopic plankton down to individual cells. The AVPPO repeatedly records images of plankton scattered throughout the water column. Long-term deployment of such power-hungry instruments is only possible with the type of infrastructure at MVCO.\nSediment transport experiments, supported by ONR. Researchers have been investigating the processes and factors\u2014including winds, waves, currents, tides, and seafloor topography\u2014that move sand and shape the seafloor around MVCO. In a related project, researchers have investigated the processes that bury objects such as military mines in seafloor sediments.\nOzone chemistry experiments, supported by NSF. Researchers have deployed instruments on the ASIT to quantify how much ozone pollution is being removed from the atmosphere and deposited into the ocean.\nOcean Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (OHATS), supported by NSF. An air-sea interaction experiment is using 18 closely spaced sonic anemometers, or wind gauges, to examine the effect of ocean waves on air turbulence and eddies. The observations, begun in August 2004, should allow researchers to improve weather prediction models.\nWith initial experiments underway and some lessons already learned at MVCO, WHOI scientists and engineers are making plans to improve and expand the facility.\nAutonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and other robotic vehicles will likely play an important role in future studies at MVCO and other ocean observatories. Researchers can use observatories as remote ports from which they can launch these vehicles into inaccessible regions and extreme conditions. Equipment is already being tested to allow AUVs to download data and recharge their batteries at underwater nodes.\nWHOI researchers are also working with colleagues at other institutions to create a network of coastal observing systems extending from the Gulf of Maine to Florida. By linking observations of several observatories along the East Coast, researchers will be able to develop a clearer picture of the long-term cycles and processes at work in the northwestern Atlantic. From hurricanes to migrating marine life to eddies spinning off from the Gulf Stream, coastal observers will be able to track developments in the ocean from start to finish and season to season. The result will be a more precise view of everyday life in one of the world\u2019s oceans.\nThe Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO) allows scientists to measure small details of ocean process with minute-by-minute resolution, while also affording the opportunity to paint broader pictures of what is happening in the northwestern Atlantic over the longer term. MVCO includes a shore-based lab and meteorological mast, an underwater node, and a tower wired for instrumentation above and below the water line.\nObservatory Information from WHOI's Coastal Ocean Institute\nEastern Consortium of Coastal Ocean Observatories\nOcean Research Interactive Observatory Networks\nA Geospatial Framework for the Coastal Zone: National Needs for Coastal Mapping and Charting\nEnabling Ocean Research in the 21st Century: Implementation of a Network of Ocean Observatories\nOceanus: A New Coastal Observatory is Born\nPublished Jan. 2000\nOceanus: A Well Sample Ocean\nOceanus: Seeding the Seafloor with Observatories\nCoastal Ocean Observatory Lab (COOL) Classroom\nApplied Ocean Physics & Engineering Dept.",

        "raw_content": "Wilkes University Alumna Dawn Zera of Forty Fort, Pa., Named Finalist for PEN/Bellwether Prize\nDawn Zera, a resident of Forty-Fort, Pa., and an alumna of the Wilkes University graduate creative writing program, is one of 10 finalists for the prestigious PEN/Bellwether Prize for socially engaged fiction. Zera has been recognized for her manuscript Earth Teach Me.\nThe award, founded by novelist Barbara Kingsolver, is presented biennially to the author of a previously unpublished novel of high literary caliber that promotes fiction that addresses issues of social justice and the impact of culture and politics on human relationships.\nThe winner, chosen by judges Laila Lalami, Brando Skyhorse, and Kathy Pories of Algonquin Books, will be announced on March 1 and will be honored at the 2016 PEN Literary Awards Ceremony in New York City on April 11. The winner will receive a $25,000 prize as well as a publishing contract with Algonquin Books.\nZera\u2019s novel focuses on issues concerning the environment and draws on the history of northeastern Pennsylvania including the Lenape Indians, whose culture is intimately tied to the earth and the natural environment. \u201cThe manuscript, at the heart, is about getting in touch with the earth in much the same way that Native Americans are in touch with the earth,\u201d Zera says.\nThe writer illustrated her point by describing an incident involving her two young sons. \u201cWe used to play hide and seek at a beautiful county field near the Wyoming Valley Airport where there was a grove of tall, old trees,\u201d Zera recalls. \u201cOne day we went there and the trees had been cut down. Piles of tree limbs were strewn haphazardly on the land. My sons cried. They were devastated. I realized that we, as humankind, need to get back to that child-like wonder and relationship with the earth.\u201d\nZera is an adjunct professor of writing at the University of Scranton, Marywood University and King\u2019s College. A veteran journalist and public relations professional, she earned master of arts and master of fine arts degrees in creative writing from Wilkes University\u2019s graduate creative writing program. She credits the program with encouraging her to seek a wider audience for her writing.\n\u201cI\u2019ve written fiction privately all my life,\u201d Zera says. \u201cThe program helped me to realize that my work is worth sharing with the world and that it is possible to help make the world better through writing.\u201d\nThe PEN American Center works to ensure that people everywhere have the freedom to create literature, to convey information and ideas, to express their views, and to make it possible for everyone to access the views, ideas, and literatures of others.",

        "raw_content": "\"My Pleasure\" Why Customer Lingo Matters\nPosted by Leah DeMasters on May 3rd, 2017 in Marketing & Design\nChick-fil-A is dominating the fast food industry. The company generates more revenue per restaurant than any other fast-food chain in the US, according to QSR magazine. Chick-fil-A's average sales per restaurant in 2014 was $3.1 million. Its fried-chicken competitor KFC sold $960,000 per restaurant that same year.\nDespite their relatively small size (and being closed on Sundays), Chick-fil-A also ranks highly in terms of its total sales. The chain generated nearly $5.8 billion in revenue in 2014, making it the eighth-largest fast-food chain in the country.\nSo what is the secret to Chick-fil-A's success?\nBeyond the food, which gets high ratings from customers like me, many analysts point to Chick-fil-A's exceptional service and consistent use of positive phrases such as \u201cmy pleasure\u201d. Their refreshing approach distinguishes Chick-fil-A from its competitors, highlighting the importance of the little ways you communicate with customers.\nWhen customers call, email, or chat online with customer service representatives, they have come to expect that they'll most likely get mediocre to horrible service. Of course, what you do can be as important than what you say. But your choice of words will have a significant effect on the way the customer hears what you're saying, and consequently the way he/she feels about it and reacts to it.\nHere are some of our favorite active, enthusiastic, genuine and upbeat words that could dramatically change the way your customers react to conversations, e-mails and text chats. They are ridiculously simple, yet powerful tweaks to the normally bland, predictable language of customer service:\n\"Delighted\"\nOn our office wall at Wilmington Design Co., we have a large canvas that says \u201cGo the extra mile - It\u2019s never crowded!\u201d\nWe pride ourselves in doing more then what is expected for our clients and it is our pleasure to take the extra steps needed to lead our clients to success. When working with our client\u2019s customers, we adapt our speech and written correspondences to include language that elicits positive emotions and encourages customers to take action, by using simple affirmative words. We find more prospects gravitating towards our clients promotions and offers, which makes a clear impact on our clients leads and conversions.\nGoing the extra mile with the thoughtful use of some positive trigger words in your business communications, will not only result in a much happier customer, but it can support your business growth and expansion. You'll absolutely change the entire tone of your customer\u2019s interaction.",

        "raw_content": "What Is Toe Paresthesia?\nToe paresthesia may be serious and require medical attention.\nIn some cases, a fractured bone in the leg or foot may lead to tow paresthesia.\nSurgery may be necessary to treat nerve damage.\nToe paresthesia may occur as a result of a bad fall.\nToe paresthesia can occur in one or more of the toes.\nA compressed nerve in the foot may cause toe paresthesia.\nToe paresthesia is a condition commonly known as pins and needles, though it can extend to complete numbness or even burning that occurs in one or more toes of the foot. This condition occurs when a nerve that services that part of the body is compressed for any reason, leading to discomfort. Toe paresthesia usually only lasts a few minutes, though it can last several minutes or even an hour or more; if the condition persists or becomes chronic, the person suffering from the condition should see a doctor immediately, as this may be an indication of a more serious problem.\nWhen a nerve becomes compressed or the function of that nerve is altered for any reason, a variety of conditions may result. Nerves run throughout the entire body, and if the nerve that services the foot becomes compressed or otherwise damaged, toe paresthesia may result. The toe may become numb, or it may tingle with the pins and needles sensation. Generally, once the nerve is no longer compressed, the tingling will cease and the toe will function normally. If, however, that tingling does not go away, the nerve may have been damaged severely and attention from a doctor may be in order.\nIn less common cases, a bone fracture can lead to toe paresthesia; the fractured bone will essentially leave its normal position and compress the nerve that services the toe. This compression can lead to the condition, and the remedy for such compression is to address the fracture directly. In most cases, this will cure the condition, unless more severe neurological damage has been done. Other conditions that can lead to toe paresthesia can also be more severe; the onset of diabetes, for example, can alter neurological function, manifesting itself as paresthesia of the toe or other parts of the body.\nOther conditions can cause this condition, and while some are quite serious, others are fairly benign and will not require medical attention. Sometimes when weight is placed on the foot at an odd angle for an extended period of time, part or all of the foot may go numb or become tingly. Such a situation can occur if a person sits on his or her own foot, or falls asleep in a strange position. The tingling and numbness will generally cease once pressure is released from the foot of leg, though the tingling may remain for several minutes afterward.\nWhat Is Hand Paresthesia?\nWhat Are the Symptoms of Paresthesia?\nWhat Is Methaqualone?\nWhat are the Different Types of Paresthesia Treatment?\nWhat is Vascular Neuropathy?\nMy uncle began to suspect that he might have some nerve problem when his toes and fingers started getting tingly. He couldn't figure out why this was happening, but just kind of ignored it.\nSometime after his fingers and toes started going numb, his elbows felt the same way. He didn't know that this tingling symptom was a sign of diabetes onset. Finally he went to the doctor, and got a diabetes diagnosis and began treatment for per-diabetes syndrome.\nI''m sure most people have at one time or another experienced numbness in toes just because they have been sitting on their foot for a long time. This is just a temporary problem and goes away quickly. In the case of a fracture where the broken bone squeezes a nerve that goes to the toes, the tingling or numbness would not go away.\nDoes anyone know what part of the body's nerves goes to the toes? I assume parts of the feet have nerves that service the various toes. I'm not really sure about that.",

        "raw_content": "What Is Video Bridging?\nVideo bridging allows the person who is in charge of the conference to switch to the video of the person she or he is speaking to.\nVideo bridging allows for more personal videoconferencing.\nVideo bridging, also known as audio-video bridging because both audio and video are being recorded and broadcast, is a type of videoconferencing technique that allows participants to switch among other participants. For regular videoconferencing, only one person is seen. With video bridging, the person who is in charge of the conference can switch to whoever he or she is talking to or focusing on. This allows for more personal videoconferencing, rather than just one person talking indiscriminately to a group of other people. The bridge is connected to the Internet, which smoothes out video transitions.\nVideoconferencing is when a conference \u2014 often a business conference but also applicable to videoconferences at schools and colleges, is held on a video channel on the computer. With normal videoconferencing, there is one person, or one side of the video channel, giving the conference. Everyone else connected to the conference then sees and hears the conference. There is no way to switch between participants, so these conferences usually gather all the members in a single room. This means everyone, except the person in control of the conference, has to be in the same area for the conference to be effective.\nWith the video bridging technique, the person controlling the conference can switch among participants. This allows the presenter to be more personal with participants. This also enables the other members to participate in the videoconference regardless of their location. Most video bridge programs allow everyone to hear and see the presenter, even if he or she is talking to only one participant in the conference.\nAlong with speaking with people, video bridging usually also allows participants to open other media during the conference. This means that, if a file or website is relevant to the conversation, a participant can open the media so others can see it. This expands the use of videoconferencing and allows members to reduce printing costs, because there is no need for a paper medium.\nVideo bridging often uses the Internet to bring all the participants together. By using the Internet, transfers between participants are smoothed out. If the Internet were not used, then the program would have to capture video from one member, send it to another computer so a member could open it, wait for the video to load, and then wait for the recipient to respond to it. This process is tedious and difficult for all members and uses much more memory than just having the conference over the Internet.\nWhat Is a Video Bridge?\nWhat is an Ethernet Bridge?\nWhat is Teleconferencing Software?\nWhat are the Different Types of Teleconference Equipment?\nWhat is a Teleconference Bridge?",

        "raw_content": "Mike Olszewski's book profiles 'The Morning Exchange' and the expansion of TV news\nMike and Jan Olszewski lived -- and now write about -- Cleveland TV history.\nA new book looks back at Cleveland television as it morphed from provincial to polished. WKSU\u2019s Kabir Bhatia spoke with Mike and Jan Olszewski about their new book, \u201cCleveland TV Tales, Volume 2.\u201d\nLISTEN: New book promises more 'Cleveland TV Tales'\nThe new book takes up with a tribute to Ghoulardi, who was the focus of much of Volume One. He\u2019s the horror-movie host played by Ernie Anderson who drew monstrous ratings in the mid-60s with his irreverent and offbeat style.\n\u201c\u2018Dear Mr. Ghoulardi: Like so many Clevelanders, we enjoy Channel 8\u2019s science fiction movies.\u2019 Can you believe there is somebody that enjoys these movies? Wheeeee! He says, \u2018Please try to be less obtrusive.\u2019\u201d\nAfter Ernie\nErnie Anderson left for California in 1966, and he became the voice of the ABC network until the early 1990s. Mike Olszewski\u2019s new book looks at the decades after Anderson left town.\n\u201cThat\u2019s a nice transition because he was part of the first wave of television. When Ernie Anderson first went on the air in 1963, TV had only been in Cleveland for about 15 years. By the time he left, it had become a huge business \u2013 much of it centered in Ghoulardi.\u201d\n'Dorothy, baby'\nAs Ghoulardi, one of Anderson\u2019s favorite targets on-air was Dorothy Fuldheim, an enduring presence on Cleveland television screens for nearly 40 years. Olszewski\u2019s book ends with a look at her final years.\n\u201cThe one thing you have to remember about Dorothy Fuldheim \u2013 and I\u2019ve said this many times \u2013 when you look back at America, right after World War II when TV was first starting out, we were ultra-conservative. We were sexist, we were racist, we were anti-Semitic. Who\u2019s the first person that Channel 5 hires? A Jewish woman in her 50s. And I think that just shows that, honestly, Cleveland was breaking new ground even back then.\u201d\nMuch of the rest of the book focuses on the TV news business in the 1970s, \u201880s and \u201890s, as it came to dominate local TV.\n\u201cWhen you think about it, there\u2019s very little local programming left. There is news, but so many of the other [slots] have been taken over by syndicated shows that are just cheaper and probably more profitable, quite honestly, to put on.\u201d\n'The Morning Exchange'\nBut in 1972, the most popular local show was \u201cThe Morning Exchange\u201d on WEWS Channel 5. The program set the blueprint for ABC\u2019s \u201cGood Morning America\u201d with its mix of news and entertainment.\n\u201cPublicists used to start many of their book authors on the tour in Cleveland.\n\"What would happen is, they\u2019d call back and say, \u2018How\u2019d they do on 'The Morning Exchange?\u2019 If they did really well, they continued on the tour. If they didn\u2019t do well, they went back to New York and got some pointers. But it was a huge show for a long time.\u201d\nFew tapes of those early years remain today, but the guest list in the 1970s included everyone from Jimmy Carter to Muhammad Ali to Jimmy Hoffa. Here, host Fred Griffith interviews Andy Griffith.\nFred: \u201cYou\u2019re from Mt. Airy, North Carolina.\u201d\nAndy: \u201cNorth Carolina.\u201d\nFred: \u201cThe thing about Aunt Bea [is] she was like the prototype of everyone\u2019s mother. When I was a kid, I always thought, \u2018That\u2019s the way that Mom is supposed to look.\u2019\u201d\nAndy: \u201cI remember going down to a Scout jamboree. Most of them asked me about Aunt Bea. These young boys \u2013 12, 11 \u2013 all identified with her.\u201d\nFred Griffith hosted the show for much of the 1970s along with Liz Richards and news anchor Joel Rose.\nOne chapter of Olszewski\u2019s book focuses on Rose, who in 2000 was questioned in connection with more than a dozen women who had reported receiving mysterious packages in the mail containing lingerie and explicit notes; many of the women had worked in Cleveland media. Rose committed suicide during the investigation, baffling friends and co-workers.\n\u201cThey never actually filed any kind of charges or made any formal accusations against him. And Jan and I were watching TV one day. And they were talking to some of the people who had gotten these packages. And I said, \u2018You know what? I used to work with her,\u2019 -- because I used to work with Joel over at WHK -- and I said, \u2018I\u2019ve worked with her, I\u2019ve worked with her.\u2019 And Jan said, \u2018That makes you a suspect.\u2019 Meaning, it could be anybody. We kind of let the reader decide their own ending to that story.\u201d\nExhausting research\nOlszewski usually works with his wife, Jan, who says researching old newspaper columns and magazines can be distracting.\n\u201cYou\u2019d see articles about your neighborhood. You\u2019d see prices of the merchandise in the day that you\u2019ll never see again. The venues for movies and clubs. You want to read them all.\u201d\nThe Olszewskis do more than remember the Cleveland of the past \u2013 they\u2019ve been part of it.\n\u201cI got into broadcasting in the 1970s, when so many of these pioneers were still with us \u2013 and we had all these wonderful stories. And so many of the pioneers left us without putting down their stories. So as a result, it\u2019s almost like it\u2019s a responsibility [and] a duty, but at the same time a very happy chore, to do that.\u201d\nOlszewski has published a half-dozen books on Cleveland media and he\u2019s already working on the next one.\n\u201cJan and I submitted the manuscript to David Gray and he says, \u2018We have to take out a few words.\u2019 I said, \u2018how many?\u2019 He said \u201830,000.\u2019 I said, \u201830,000 words?\u2019 He said, \u2018Don\u2019t worry, that\u2019s part of the next book.\u2019\u201d",

Ford beat Republican incumbent state Senator Mike Delph.\nAs of Wednesday morning, Ford had a six-point lead on Delph for Indiana's Senate District 29.\nFord is the first openly gay person elected to the Indiana General Assembly.\n\"I think it's really time for us LGBTQ+ Hoosiers to have a voice in our General Assembly,\" Ford said.\nIn 2014, Ford lost to Delph by about 2,300 votes for the District 29 Senate seat.\nDelph had been serving in the Indiana state Senate since 2005.

        "raw_content": "In order to maximize business opportunities, services providers typically join single-profession networks to meet their needs. WSG is a step ahead of such associations. Membership to the World Services Group offers various benefits:\nMultidisciplinary Network\nWSG members are selected based on strict objective standards established by the Board of Directors. To be considered for membership, each company must fulfill all of the following criteria.\nBe among the leading state, national, or international businesses in their areas of expertise.\nHave the highest professional reputation within their professional community.\nConsidered to have leading capacity and knowledge in their profession in their region.\nNon-Exclusive Membership\nMembers can belong to groups, associations, alliances, networks, or be part of national or international firms and companies.\nPresently there are 16 service industries represented within WSG. (View All Service Industries) The inclusion of new services will be decided by the Board of Directors.\nMembership to WSG is limited to one representative company/firm of a service industry per jurisdiction. Representation can be Local, National, Regional or Global.\nA local service provider is one that represents the jurisdiction where its main office(s) is located.\nA national service provider is one that has considerable operations nationally and therefore has the capacity to represent a service industry nationally in jurisdictions that are divided i.e. United States is divided by states and Canada is divided into provinces.\nA regional service provider is one that has operations in specific regions and therefore has the capacity to represent a service industry regionally i.e. the European Region.\nA global service provider is one that has substantial operations worldwide therefore having the capacity to provide services for every WSG member in any location.\nMembership Approval Procedure\nMembership to WSG is primarily by invitation. Nominations are made to regional members by existing members for representation of a specific service industry. If the invitation is accepted, prospective members are then asked to complete a WSG application form presented to the Board of Directors for approval. Alternatively a firm/company with interest in membership may approach WSG directly. If the initial criteria are met, an application form will then be completed and submitted to the Board of Directors and regional members. After submission, the Board of Directors make the decision as to the membership approval of the applicant. Applicants will be informed directly by the WSG President.",

        "raw_content": "How School Walkouts Test Student Rights And School Responsibilities\nWednesday morning, at 10 o'clock, students at schools across the country will walk out of their classrooms. The plan is for them to leave school \u2014 or at least gather in the hallway \u2014 for 17 minutes. That's one minute for each of the victims in last month's school shooting in Parkland, Fla.\nThe walkout has galvanized teens nationwide and raised big questions for schools about how to handle protests.\nStudent loan debt collectors have been accused of deceiving and abusing student borrowers and have been sued by attorneys general in a handful of states. Now, they may be getting some relief.\nThe debt collectors, that is. Not their customers.\nIn an internal document obtained by NPR, the U.S. Department of Education, under Secretary Betsy DeVos, argues that the nation's loan servicers should be protected from state rules that may be far tougher than federal law.\nFor the more than 3,000 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, Wednesday's mass shooting was terrifying and life-changing. But what of the tens of millions of other children, in schools across the country, who have since heard about what happened and now struggle with their own feelings of fear, confusion and uncertainty?\nTrans Students, School Shooting, And Bill Gates Answers A Tough Question\nIt's been a difficult week for schools in this edition of our weekly roundup.\nSchool shooting in Parkland, Fla.\nThe Key To Raising A Happy Child\nFor much of the past half-century, children, adolescents and young adults in the U.S. have been saying they feel as though their lives are increasingly out of their control. At the same time, rates of anxiety and depression have risen steadily.\nWhat's the fix? Feeling in control of your own destiny. Let's call it \"agency.\"\n\"Agency may be the one most important factor in human happiness and well-being.\"\nThe Education Department Says It Won't Act On Transgender Student Bathroom Access\nDo transgender boys or girls have the right to use the restroom at school that corresponds with their gender identity? The U.S. Education Department said Monday that it won't hear complaints about or take action on this question.\nWhy Schools Fail To Teach Slavery's 'Hard History'\nBy Cory Turner \u2022 Feb 4, 2018\n\"In the ways that we teach and learn about the history of American slavery,\" write the authors of a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), \"the nation needs an intervention.\"\n\"Trauma\" is a heavy and haunting word. For many Americans, it conjures images of troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. The emotional toll from those wars made headlines and forced a healthcare reckoning at the Department of Veterans Affairs.\nDr. Nadine Burke Harris, a pediatrician, would like to see a similar reckoning in every doctor's office, health clinic and classroom in America \u2014 for children who have experienced trauma much closer to home.\nAmerica's Schools Are 'Profoundly Unequal,' Says U.S. Civil Rights Commission\n\"The federal government must take bold action to address inequitable funding in our nation's public schools.\"\nSo begins a list of recommendations released Thursday by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, an independent, bipartisan agency created by Congress in 1957 to investigate civil rights complaints. Thursday's report comes after a lengthy investigation into how America's schools are funded and why so many that serve poor and minority students aren't getting the resources they say they need.\nCongress Changed 529 College Savings Plans, And Now States Are Nervous\nIf you're like most Americans, you don't have a 529 college savings plan.\nIf you're like most Americans, you don't even know what it is.\nAll the more reason to keep reading.\nThat's because, with the new tax law, Republicans have made important changes to 529 plans that will affect millions of taxpayers, not just the ones saving for college.

        "raw_content": "Wyoming same-sex marriage ban overturned, Mead will not appeal\nAbout 100 people showed up to a marriage equality rally in Casper on Wednesday. The Supreme Court of the United States, by declining to take the case earlier this month, codified same-sex marriage as recognized by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction over Wyoming. (Dustin Bleizeffer/WyoFile - See more)\nOctober 17, 2014 by Dustin Bleizeffer Leave a Comment\nA U.S. District Court judge on Friday granted a preliminary injunction \u2014 stayed for up to seven days \u2014 that would strike down Wyoming\u2019s ban on same-sex marriage, pending an appeal by the state.\nProponents of same-sex marriage rally in Casper. Wyoming does not have a Defense of Marriage Amendment in its constitution, but neither has it passed legislation to pave the way for same-sex marriage. (Dustin Bleizeffer/WyoFile )\nGov. Matt Mead issued a statement late on Friday saying the state will not appeal, which means same-sex marriage will become legal in the state.\nFriday\u2019s order in the case Guzzo v. Mead came just 24 hours after a hearing Thursday in Casper. Attorneys for the state said they expected to lose the case but that they also intended to take the matter to a full panel of judges from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. The state argued that granting a preliminary injunction would rob it of a chance to build its case to uphold Wyoming Statute 20-1-101 defining marriage as between a man and a woman.\nBut on Thursday evening, Gov. Matt Mead contradicted those assurances and stated in a gubernatorial debate in Riverton that should U.S. District Court Judge Scott Skavdahl rule in favor of the plaintiffs, he would not seek an appeal. On Friday, after the motion was granted under stay, he stood by his statement, saying he would not appeal before Skavdhal\u2019s ruling takes effect.\nBefore that statement was issued, however, proponents of same-sex marriage were hopeful of the outcome.\nJeran Artery of Wyoming Equality speaks to same-sex marriage supporters at a rally in Casper on Wednesday. He told supporters he expected a federal judge to rule Thursday that same-sex marriage is the law in Wyoming. \u201cWe\u2019re done messing around with Gov. Mead,\u201d Artery told the crowd. (Dustin Bleizeffer/WyoFile )\n\u201cWe\u2019re hoping Gov. Mead stands by his word at the debate last night and does not appeal,\u201d Jeran Artery of Wyoming Equality, and a plaintiff in the case, told WyoFile on Thursday afternoon. \u201cI\u2019m optimistic the governor will stand by this (order).\u201d\nAfter 5 p.m. on Friday, Gov. Matt Mead\u2019s office issued a press statement: \u201cThe Attorney General, after reviewing the ruling of the federal district court, has advised that an appeal to the very court that ruled these laws unconstitutional, an opinion that the Supreme Court declined to review, would be unlikely to succeed.\u201d\nThe press release included a quote from Gov. Mead: \u201cThis result is contrary to my personal beliefs and those of many others. As in all matters, I respect the role of the courts and the ruling of the Court.\u201d\nThe state will notify the court that it will not appeal the order, the release said. That notice, when it comes, will result in the end of Wyoming\u2019s ban on same-sex marriage.\nHow Wyoming got here\nThe foundation of Wyoming\u2019s ban on same-sex marriage began to crack on Oct. 6 when the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear an appeal of the 10th Circuit\u2019s rulings against Utah and Oklahoma state constitutional bans on same sex marriage. The 10th Circuit declared that marriage is a basic right protected under the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, regardless of gender. By SCOTUS not accepting the appeal, it created legal precedence that states in the 10th Circuit\u2019s jurisdiction \u2014 which includes Wyoming \u2014 may not ban same-sex marriages.\nThe Mead administration\u2019s immediate response to the Supreme Court action on Oct. 6 was that it had no bearing on the state district court case Courage v. Wyoming \u2014 filed by four same-sex couples in March. Mead had stated at the time of the Oct. 6 decision \u201cThe Attorney General will continue to defend Wyoming\u2019s constitution defining marriage between a man and a woman.\u201d\nPlaintiffs in a suit against the state of Wyoming to allow same-sex marriage visited shortly before a U.S. District Court hearing in Casper Thursday morning. From left to right: Anne Guzzo, Carl Oleson, Bonnie Robinson, and Robert Johnston. (Dustin Bleizeffer/WyoFile)\nHowever, Wyoming does not have a Defense of Marriage Amendment in its constitution. The definition of marriage Mead referred to then is in Wyoming Statute 20-1-101.\nAt Thursday\u2019s hearing, attorneys for the state argued that even though it was likely the state would lose in Courage v. Wyoming, the state stood a good chance of winning an appeal in the 10th Circuit.\nAt the hearing, Judge Skavdahl asked state attorneys if they\u2019d identified differences between Wyoming\u2019s statutory ban on same-sex marriage and states that had lost their appeals in the 10th Circuit. The state\u2019s counsel said they had not, and needed more time to research their argument. Nonetheless, the state would suffer irreparable harm in terms of administrative complications, they said.\nIn his order on Friday, Judge Skavdahl wrote, \u201cThe fact is State Defendants failed to offer even a scintilla of evidence to support their assertion that a preliminary injunction would cause such administrative nightmares. At the preliminary injunction hearing, State Defendants offered no exhibits and called no witnesses to testify. \u2026 The record in this case is utterly devoid of anything beyond conjecture or speculation supporting the State Defendant\u2019s claims that the State will suffer a \u2018severe impact\u2019 and a \u2018profound change to the State\u2019s and the local authorities\u2019 administration of government.\u2019\u201d\nJudge Skavdahl also stated in Friday\u2019s order that, \u201cThe Court is sympathetic to the mounting irreparable harms faced by Plaintiffs.\u201d However, he wrote that the changes resulting from his ruling are \u201cvery serious and deserve as much finality as the Court can guarantee.\u201d Therefore he granted a stay of seven days \u2014 until 5 p.m. Oct. 23 \u2014 to allow the state to appeal.\n\u201cThis Court is bound to apply and follow Tenth Circuit precedent unless and until it is overruled by the Tenth Circuit en banc or superseded by a countrary United States Supreme Court decision,\u201d the order states. \u201cBecause the harm in this case involves the violation of a constitutional right, it is irreparable. \u2026 Preventing the violation of a party\u2019s constitutional rights is always in the public interest.\u201d\nJeran Artery (left) of Wyoming Equality visits with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Pete Gosar, who is challenging incumbent Gov. Matt Mead (R). Gosar attended a rally Wednesday in Casper in support of marriage equality. (Dustin Bleizeffer/WyoFile)\nPlaintiff Artery had to take time to gather his thoughts and stop his tears before he could talk after Friday\u2019s order. The order, likely, all but shatters Wyoming\u2019s long-standing ban on same-sex marriage, he said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s still a bit surreal,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I got the call from the legal team \u2026 it was extremely emotional. It\u2019s a day we worked so hard for, for so long, to finally realize the freedom to marry in Wyoming. I\u2019ve never been prouder to be a Wyomingite. When I think what it means to loving, committed couples to finally have their rights recognized, I\u2019m overwhelmed and humbled.\u201d\nDemocratic challenger for governor Pete Gosar told WyoFile that he celebrates the U.S. District Court\u2019s decision.\n\u201cWe\u2019re all a little more equal today,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming. I\u2019m really appreciative of the people who put forth the effort and put their lives on hold. So it\u2019s a great day for Wyoming.\u201d\n\u2014 WyoFile reporter Gregory Nickerson contributed to this story.\nFor background, read these WyoFile reports:\nQ&A: Al Simpson on same-sex marriage in the Equality State, October 17, 2014.\nJudge will rule by 5 p.m. Monday on same-sex marriage in Wyoming, October 16, 2014.\nWyoming\u2019s stalemate on same-sex marriage may break this week, October 14, 2014.\nWyoming same-sex marriage case rests on state constitution, April 8, 2014.\nBills aimed at LGBT equality fail, yet proponents see progress, urge civility, January 29, 2013.\nJudge Scott Skavdahl\u2019s ruling granting preliminary injunction on Oct. 17, 2014.\nFiled Under: Featured, Policy, This Week",

        "raw_content": "HYDE PARK, Friday\u2014In spite of all protests from Democrats, the Republicans in the House are putting through their particular tax-cut bill.\nFrom the table released by Rep. Harold Knutson, sponsor of the bill, it would look as though, on a percentage basis, the low-income groups would get the greatest reduction. For instance, under the present law a married couple with two children pay $76 on a $2,400 income. Under the new bill they would pay nothing, so their percentage of reduction would be 100 percent. A married couple with two children and an income of $100,000 now pay $62,301. Under the new bill, they would pay $44,224. This is a 29 percent reduction.\nHowever, with inflation the way it is at present and with prices of food so high, the $76 saved on the $2,400 income would be swallowed up without the family noticing the difference. On the other hand, the family with the $100,000 income always was able to pay for the necessities even at inflation prices, and their tax reduction would mean they could have a good many added luxuries.\nIf, coupled with this reduction, there was a real program for stopping inflation and a global view of what is needed abroad\u2014not a niggardly effort to try to get by as cheaply as possible, without regard to the ultimate effect on recovery in European countries\u2014then I would feel some confidence in the long-range fiscal policies of the Republican Party. But looking at it cold-bloodedly under present circumstances, I have no confidence that this tax reform has been studied with a wide comprehensive view of the whole economic situation before us today. It does not, therefore, give me much confidence in the present Congress.\nThere is one great advantage in having the executive branch of the government controlled by one political party while the legislative branch is controlled by the other. It puts clear-cut responsibility on both parties. The executive branch is responsible for the measures it proposes, but the legislative branch clearly carries the responsibility for the measures it passes or rejects. Therefore, in a time like this, one is able to assess responsibility more truly than at any other time.\nWhile the Republican Party may think that the country is not watching them, that is an unwise supposition. They may think there is not enough intelligence among the people to watch the results of this division of powers, or to know what each branch of the Government stands for, and then to decide where the best chance lies for greater consideration of the real needs of the people, both at home and abroad. Time alone can give the answer.\nTwo things now affect the people of this country very deeply\u2014the talk of possible war and the reality of inflation.\nKnutson, Harold, 1880-1953 [ index ]\nRepublican Party (U.S. : 1854- ) [ index ]",

        "title": "Freediving in the Caribbean with Odyssey Expeditions",
        "raw_content": "Teens Expand Horizons with PADI Freediver\nTo date, Captain Jason Buchheim, the founder and director of Odyssey Expeditions Tropical Marine Biology Voyages, an adventure program geared toward teens that focuses on sailing, scuba diving, and marine science, has led trips across the Caribbean from the British Virgin Islands to the Grenadines. And now, he\u2019s adding freediving to the program, giving water-loving voyagers even more bottom time.\nWith a passion for sharing the underwater world with youth, it seems fitting that Buchheim found his own love for the ocean at an early age while vacationing with his family in the Caribbean. From there, the Colorado native got his PADI Open Water Diver certification and by the time he was a senior in high school, he was trained as a PADI Open Water Instructor.\nDuring college, Buchheim went on to study marine biology while working as a research field assistant in St. Thomas under his mentor, Dr. Mark Hixon, of Oregon State University. Inspired by Hixon\u2019s hands-on approach to teaching, the young Buchheim decided that he was going to take those same teaching methods and create a program that would offer experiential opportunities for teens.\n\u201cFor over 22 years now, we have delivered life changing learning adventures,\u201d Buchheim says of Odyssey Expeditions. \u201cI wanted to create a program that would encourage students to pursue their passions and allow their goals to come forward, while creating lifelong bonds and friendships and developing skills and knowledge.\u201d\nAnd the adventures continue to grow. By adding freediving to the mix, students are learning much more than basic breath holding techniques.\n\u201cFreediving allows a greater interaction with wildlife than is possible with the loud bubbles of scuba. It allows the freediver to not only learn about their environment, but also to learn about themselves and their abilities,\u201d Buchheim says. \u201cIt expands their horizons, allowing meditation to meet endurance, to gain a greater understanding of the mammalian dive reflex, and challenge oneself to dive deeper and longer.\u201d\nWhat\u2019s even better, freediving and scuba diving can be enjoyed in one day with three-week voyages that offer morning freediving before a day spent sailing and scuba diving.\nThe conservation aspect of freediving is equally appealing. \u201cSome of our students particularly enjoy going lionfish hunting with Hawaiian slings and helping to protect the reefs from this invasive predator, while adding some tasty protein to their dinner.\u201d\nAnother benefit is the ability to witness encounters that may not be possible with scuba. During a recent freediving class in St. Vincent, one group of students had the opportunity to watch as two octopuses chased one another until one of them ate the other.\n\u201cAmazingly, this was all captured on camera and is a scientific discovery that octopuses can be cannibalistic,\u201d Buchheim says. \u201cThe discovery is now being reviewed in the Animal Behavior journal.\u201d\nWhen asked what Buchheim himself loves about freediving, he refers to the simple silence of the reef. \u201cI love the feeling of descending to the depths and returning under just my own power. Freediving allows me to reduce stress and get rid of distracting thoughts.\u201d\nOdyssey Expeditions, a PADI Five Star Dive Resort, is the first summer adventure program to pursue the PADI Freediving program offerings with S.E.A. voyages (environmental Service, marine biology Education and scuba Adventure) from St Lucia to Grenada. The program takes place aboard 48-foot Moorings catamarans, is held for three weeks during June and July, and open for teens ages 14-19. Voyagers can earn school credit and multiple PADI certifications and specialties.\nClick here for more information on Odyssey Expeditions.\nInterested in taking a PADI Freediver course?

It applies to all forms of recorded information about a person, including information recorded during a consultation with young people.\nThe Health Records Act 2001 (Vic) applies to a large number of organisations who hold health information in Victoria (regulated by the Office of the Health Services Commissioner). It sets standards for how health information about a person is collected, handled and disposed of, including information recorded in a consultation with young people.\nThese laws will help you to respect young people\u2019s privacy and plan how you\u2019re going to collect and store information. And if you\u2019re a government-funded service, be aware that breaching the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) could result in a complaint being made against you followed by an investigation by the Victorian Privacy Commissioner or Health Services Commissioner.\nPersonal information is classed as information or opinions about a person whose identity can be seen or reasonably assumedbased on the information \u2013 e.g. a person\u2019s name, address and date of birth.\nHealth information is information about the physical or mental health of a person, or information about a person\u2019s disability. It includes information about a person\u2019s access to health services, the type of services and any opinions about matters relating to a person\u2019s health.\nSensitive information is a form of personal information that includes information about a person\u2019s racial or ethnic origin, political views, religious beliefs, sexual preference, group membership or criminal record. Sensitive information must only be collected (with the individual\u2019s consent) if the information is required for the purpose of providing government-funded welfare or educational services, or for research of these services.\nPrivacy laws and consultation\nIf you\u2019re consulting with young people, you should consider the following questions:\nWhat is the exact purpose of the consultation? Reflect on your needs, aims and objectives and think how you can explain these to participants.\nWhat personal information are you asking for? You should only collect personal info needed for the exact purpose of the consultation.\nCan participants choose to remain anonymous? Victorian privacy laws state that where lawful and practical, organisations must provide an option of anonymity (see IPP 8).\nHow will you store and manage the information you collect? Privacy laws state that an organisation must have clear policies on how it manages personal information. Before starting a consultation, this policy should exist and be available to all participants and anyone who asks for them.\nHow will you use the information you collect? The information you collected can only be used for the specific purpose of your consultation, or otherwise in accordance with privacy laws (see IPP 2.1(c-h)).\nWhat is your privacy statement? If you work for a large organisation you likely have one of these already \u2013 check with your communications department.\nIf you\u2019re collecting information that identifies someone, you need to tell them:\nthe name of the organisation collecting the info, and how it can be contacted;\nthe specific purpose for collecting the personal information;\nhow the participant can gain access to the personal information they provide;\nwho, if anyone, the organisation is going to share the personal information with;\nThis information is called a privacy statement. Privacy statements are usually given to the person before or at the time of the consultation - e.g. displayed at the start of an online survey, read out at the start of a forum.\nStoring and retaining information\nThe privacy laws highlight the importance of storing personal information securely. Some measures to consider are:\nstoring information in a secure place;\nremoving a person\u2019s identity from the information as soon as possible;\nprotecting digital information with a password;\nbacking up digital information and storing it securely, separately from the computer on which the information is stored.\nIf you are unsure how long you should retain personal information, contact Public Record Office Victoria for advice.\nConsultation and contracts\nIf you are going to contract out a consultation to someone else, you\u2019ll need to be mindful that you still have obligations under the Information Privacy Act 2000 and Health Records Act 2001. You can include a clause in your contracts or service agreements that your contracted agency must agree to abide by the Privacy Principles. You should also make sure that all information collected on behalf of your organisation is returned to you.\nConsent and young people\nLegal capacity to consent is not age-dependent. People have the legal capacity to consent if they have the mental ability and maturity to understand the nature and effect of what they are consenting to. Age is a relevant factor in assessing this, but not decisive unless the person is very young. It is fair to assume that a young person has the capacity to consent to being involved in the consultation unless there is evidence or reason to believe otherwise. For example, if you know a young person has a learning difficulty, you will have to make a judgement about whether it\u2019s likely to significantly impair their capacity to understand relevant issues.\nIf you make the judgement that a young person does not have the capacity to give consent, it may be possible to have a parent or guardian consent on their behalf. In this case, it is good practice to gain the parent or guardian\u2019s consent in addition to the young person\u2019s consent. This way the young person has support but is still actively involved in the decision about whether or not to take part.\nWhat makes consent valid?\nTo be valid, consent needs to be informed, freely given, specific and current. If the information is sensitive or health information, signed consent needs to be given.\nInformed means the person has the capacity to understand the situation and consequences of taking part.\nFreely given means the person can make his/her own decision free from influences or pressures.\nSpecific means the consent applies only for the information to be used for the purpose outlined.\nCurrent means the consent must not be given so long ago that relevant circumstances or the person\u2019s view may reasonably have changed.\nPrivacy, consent and confidentiality\nFor answers to some frequently asked questions about privacy, confidentiality and young people\u2019s consent, we recommend you watch Youthlaw\u2019s handy video:\nVictorian law requires certain professionals to report child abuse in certain circumstances.

        "title": "A Little Bit of Magic with Darcy Oake | 519 Magazine",
        "raw_content": "Home Interviews A Little Bit of Magic with Darcy Oake\nA Little Bit of Magic with Darcy Oake\nOriginally appeared in the August issue of 519 Magazine.\nMore than 200 million viewers tuned in to Britain\u2019s Got Talent in 2014 to witness the unveiling of an electrifying new illusionist named Darcy Oake. The Winnipeg born magician traveled to the UK to participate in the show and life has been a roller coaster ride ever since. He brings his bag of tricks to The Colosseum tonight (Thursday, August 16) for two shows.\nInspired by classic sleight of hand techniques, Darcy transports the crowd to another dimension with exhilarating visuals and logic-defying exploits.\n\u201cWith the Internet and technology it forces magicians to be one\nstep ahead of the game,\u201d he told 519 Magazine in a phone interview from South Africa. \u201cPeople watch things in slow motion and they watch things over and over to try to find the solution, so I think it makes magicians stay ahead of the curve and be as sharp as they can. I wouldn\u2019t say the expectation is far greater than they were back in the 80s. It\u2019s all based on everyday patterns that people expect and magicians sort of capitalize on that. We sort of take you on a journey. So it\u2019s harder to fool people because the answers are more readily available, but I think it\u2019s that much more special when you do fool them.\u201d\nFrom sleight of hand to death-defying escapades, this master magician grabbed the world\u2019s attention, ushering in an exciting new era of an age-old art form.\n\u201cI tend to look at old books, look at old illusionists \u2013 the original guys \u2013 and find out what they were doing and maybe put a different spin on it to bring it into today\u2019s culture,\u201d he explained of his craft. \u201cI find myself looking back into a sort of turn of the century era and draw inspiration from it. I try to gain experience and knowledge from those guys and their ideas.\u201d\nAfter being baffled by an accidental card trick his father showed him at seven years old, Darcy delved into the craft.\n\u201cI was absolutely blown away,\u201d he remembered. \u201cI was so excited and I begged him for months to tell me how he did it and he wouldn\u2019t tell me. Finally, five weeks later I learned that it was a complete accident and it just happened to work out. There was no plan of action, no trick, it just happened to work out. I will never forget that feeling. I want to be able to do that to other people. If that never happened \u2013 if that trick never worked out \u2013 I wouldn\u2019t have been bitten by the bug and I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today.\u201d\nHe\u2019s gone on to perform throughout Europe, from Paris to London, and across North America, including New York and Las Vegas. Darcy brings his flashy magic act to The Colosseum in Windsor for two shows on Thursday, August 16.\nPhoto: Christie Goodwin\nPrevious articleWho the F**K is South River Slim?\nNext articleLemonade Brigade is Out in Windsor in Full Force",

        "raw_content": "Campsites are areas in many different parts of the world used for outdoor activities in remote areas. A campsite can consist of a single person or small group, or it can be a large community like those seen during the second world war.\nA small campsite\nRemoteness. Campsites are usually far away from major population centers, reducing the likelihood of the undead and bandits finding your hideout.\nEasy scavenging. The remoteness also helps with scavenging, as you are in less danger from humans and undead. In forested areas, hunting will be significantly easier and gathering food is also not a problem. Most campsites are near a river so fishing and water will probably not be a problem.\nNatural resources. Forests have natural materials there for you to build with. Trees can make great fortifications,\nA large campsite\nand can help build other useful structures. Also, trees can be climbed to provide a good lookout. Forests are littered with hiding places too, so you would be able to hide from other humans. Remember that enemies can also use the hiding places so be sure to scout around carefully.\nThe equipment and resources for campsites can be found in nature, in stores, and even in private homes.\nA relatively easy location to clear out.\nMobile; can be easily transported and set up in a different location.\nMany campsites allow trailers and RVs, which can be well supplied.\nRemoteness. While being remote is useful, being away from society may also be a problem. You are less likely to be found by any sort of rescue, and scavenging for most man-made supplies will be harder. Also, communications from most devices (satellite devices may still work) will be less likely to transmit and receive signals from a long range.\nEasy to attack; most of the structures in a campsite are either made up of tents or personal vehicles. Tents can be slashed and burned, and vehicles can be quickly surrounded\nSelf reliance. By being near a campsite, you will only be able to rely on fishing, hunting and gathering as a food source, so you have no guarantee that you will be able to get food. Also, not all campsites are near water, so it is necessary to find that as well. Farming in forested areas is difficult for many plants but it is still possible.\nPossibility of already being overrun or occupied by hostile humans.\nThough campsites are set up to give you the most basic necessities, it is not an easy task to gather other useful items. These tips will help your campsite to be more successful.\nStock up on needed supplies, especially ones not available there; make sure to have them put together before relocation to any campsite. This is a golden rule in preparation for using a site. Remember that the supplies you bring with you may be all you have for a long time.\nImprove your fortifications. Wildlife, humans, and zombies all pose a threat to you. Periodically send out scouts or small patrols to detect possible dangers before they have a chance to introduce themselves to you in the camp. Trenches, fences, treestands, tin cans, and dogs can all serve as deterrants or early warning systems for you and your group.\nMake sure to have transportation. Even though your remoteness is useful and you're capable of surviving on what is there, there will be instances when the need to go to a developed area for things impossible for you to make or find. Take into account the number of people you'll need on any given run, the terrain, and the size of the loads you plan on carrying back with you. ATVs and their aquatic cousin the barge are both very versatile in their respective areas. ATVs can move through mud, snow, and relatively shallow bodies of water; haul trailers, and move at speeds in excess of 50 miles per hour. The barge can carry hundreds of pounds of cargo, a dozen men, and move in only a few feet of water. Compact body-on-frame 4X4 SUV's/ Pickups also can also be of use here (V6 and 4 cylinder engines preferably. Check the Light trucks (pickups and SUVs) section for more info). Do not use any vehicles that are not meant to handle rough road situations (mud, snow, bodies of water, loose dirt/ gravel, etc.). This includes crossovers, sedans, hatchbacks, etc. Jeeps, Subura's, and possibly Volvo's and VW's excluded as some crossover and station wagon models can actually do a bit of off roading.\nDon't get cocky. The chance of undead and other humans being there IS NOT ZERO. It will usually be low (but it is varied in areas) so it is not the biggest concern, but do not think you are impossible to find there. A decent frontier fort built to withstand an assault by hundreds will serve as an excellent basis for the creation of a larger community on the outskirts of society.\nCrafting one of the staples of a campsite: A fire\nRetrieved from \"https://zombie.fandom.com/wiki/Campsite?oldid=48105\"",

The population older than 65 years in the border regions between Slovenia and Italy is relatively high (18-20%). This is a diverse population including many motor/sports active persons, so that a 75-year-old person of today can be compared with a 55-year-old 30 years ago, on the other hand, there are also many individuals suffering from chronic diseases and weak muscular and skeletal system, for which we could also say that have aged too soon. Research has many times proved a strong impact of lifestyle on the process and consequences of ageing, whereas, the criteria of healthy ageing have not been defined yet. The global problem of ageing and the challenges of searching for healthy ageing criteria, which will enable individuals to lead quality life and be independent in their old age, have become one of the most significant problems of the modern society. Thus, the European Commission has proclaimed the year 2012 as the Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations.\nA few years before the EU had decided to dedicate such an extent of attention to this issue, the Institute of Kinesiology Research of the Science and Research Centre of the University of Primorska decided to explore and study the ageing criteria together with local and foreign partners and offer the society all levers in order to be able to cope with this issue based on specific findings and knowledge. Numerous scientific findings prove the exceptional efficiency of motor activities and healthy nutrition in reducing health risks and enhancing the independence of living of the older population. Appropriate information and notifying the public, which involves the cooperation of different organisations, can positively influence the quality of life of the older population. The Cross-border Cooperation Slovenia \u2013 Italy 2007-2013 Programme \u2013 PANGeA unites public institutions from participating regions that are active in the field of assuring the quality of living of the older population, institutes, universities, hospitals, municipalities and the Health Protection Institute of the Republic of Slovenia. Promotion, education programmes and direct physical activities will enable us to apply the knowledge on lifestyle that improves the quality of living, in practice for target groups of older citizens. We shall use the network of existing health care (hospitals), social (elderly homes) and private (fitness centres) entities, which are mainly operating in the fields of activities, which are the subject of this project. Fitness programmes for the elderly and healthy nutrition measures, which we will apply, will contribute to improved general health condition, reduce the risks of acute injuries and chronic diseases. On the other hand, we shall study the effects of permanent inactivity and develop programmes for a more efficient/faster regeneration of motor functions, and the independence after hip surgeries, which have become one of the most occurring problems that the elderly are coping with.\nProject activities will strive to exceed the low coordination level between health care and other public institutions. Prior to providing information to the public, project partners will study the situation of the older population in the project area, and by interpreting the characteristics of healthy and active elderly people they will try to define the criteria of healthy ageing. The activities involving the accumulation of normative values and the implementation of intervention programmes, which will be implemented within the scope of the project, will base on organisational, promotional, science-research and subject-related integration of all project partners and other stakeholders. In this way we will establish a permanent organisation network (universities-hospitals, universities-municipalities-elderly homes, universities-private persons-pensioners\u2019 organisations etc.), which will enable further development of the health and quality of living of the population, living in the cross-border area.\nGeneral objectives of the project \u2022\tDefining healthy ageing factors; \u2022\tSetting up content-related and HR bases of the international excellence centre (SLO-ITA) in the field of health of elderly citizens; \u2022\tRaising awareness on the significance of healthy ageing, social inclusion and mobility of less privileged populations (the elderly); \u2022\tReducing the costs of health care; \u2022\tConnecting the existing health care, social and private entities and improving their mutual coordination.\nThe programme area includes institutes and universities that have achieved excellent results on an international level, namely in the field of medicine, space physiology, kinesiology, nutrition studies and health in general. It is well known that numerous fields of work can supplement each other when they are discussed jointly. Our work will base on merging border sciences, translating knowledge and technologies, which presents an efficient instrument, thus being the priority of numerous European programmes. We are well aware of the fact that health models, exercise and nutrition programmes are outdated, and, as the results of modern lifestyle studies show, also inefficient. Many experiences in research, the simulation of ageing (bed rest studies) and healthy ageing simulation (sportsmen \u2013 the elderly) have enabled us to acquire many findings that can be applied in health care centres, rehabilitation centres, elderly homes, fitness and wellness centres, sports clubs, and last but not least, for every individual. Despite this, the PANGeA project will need to answer some other scientific questions that refer to the impact of motor inactivity on the elderly and consequently on their health.\nApplications that will be guaranteed by the general objectives, are as follows:\n\u2022\tProgrammes for minimum and optimum motor/sports activity of the elderly;\n\u2022\tDefined efficient procedures of data collection on the health of different target population or populations with different pathological conditions;\n\u2022\tRenewed rehabilitation plans for faster recuperation after surgeries of acute and chronic injuries of the hip joint;\n\u2022\tFood programmes for hindering catabolic processes that occur with motor inactivity;\n\u2022\tEstablishment of motor health parks for the elderly.\nOperative objectives of the project\n\u2022\tSetup of a mobile health laboratory with measuring equipment and qualified measurers;\n\u2022\tSetup of a web portal (graphic interface, database, reporting and informing portal) about the health of inhabitants (in Slovene, Italian and English language);\n\u2022\t1000 measurements of health factors of people from the entire programme area including simultaneous promotion campaigns;\n\u2022\tAdjustment and redefinition of health factors transferred from youngsters to the elderly by considering environmental factors;\n\u2022\tOrganisation of 20 free training seminars for training fitness trainers for the elderly, 12 free demonstration meetings for fitness programmes for the elderly, performed at their homes, both equally distributed in all six regions;\n\u2022\tOrganisation of six scientific meetings, intended for strengthening the project consortium.\nOperative objectives are defined in accordance with achieving general project objectives. We will work in order to enhance the quality of living of inhabitants from the programme area, as well as on a more global level. Promoting and encouraging health, health monitoring, health care measures and preventive measures are the key mechanisms that will enable the programme region a coordinated development of health and social life. Less privileged groups present a large part of the entire population, which is increasing every year. Our preliminary local projects have resulted in many findings that will acquire a new dimension, when we will be able to connect these findings via a consortium.\nThe project has been drafted in the sense of setting up healthy ageing criteria, based on connecting interdisciplinary knowledge and the implementation of mass measurements on the elderly, thus enabling the basis for constructing a permanent network of institutions that will offer health care and rehabilitation services in order to stimulate the recovery period. Everything mentioned above can be transferred to the level of national policies, which could enable the increase of the quality of life of the elderly by synergising permanent networks (connections between hospitals and joint functional centres) on the entire programme area.\nThe project also has a research focus, since joint criteria for healthy ageing will be set up by connecting universities and other public research institutions (University of Primorska, University of Trieste, University of Udine and the Ferrari University, as well as the Health Protection Institute of the Republic of Slovenia and Izola General Hospital) based on interdisciplinary and international knowledge. Furthermore, by introducing intervention programmes, we shall contribute to enhancing the quality of life of the elderly, whereas physical activity is the core mean of social integration.\nRegion / Statistical region: Trieste, Udine, Padova, Ferrara, Obalno-Kra\u0161ka, Osrednjeslovenska, Gorenjska",

        "raw_content": "What the senses understand: Recent works by Katie Paterson\nSunday 1st December 2013 15:43\nI first came across artist Katie Paterson a few years ago when she made the streetlights along Deal Pier flicker in response to lightening storms for her work Streetlight Storm. Since then she has continued to make connections between ordinary, everyday objects and natural phenomena, ranging from nanomolecular technology to dead stars and quasars. In the process, she has developed close working relationships with scientists, often through residencies at leading research centres such as University College London\u2019s Department of Astronomy and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. The recent launch of two new works seemed like a good opportunity to reflect on her conceptually rigorous and aesthetically engaging practice.\nFor Second Moon a fragment of moonrock is being shipped round the world via courier for a year, roughly following the path taken by the rest of the Moon as it orbits the Earth. Even at the slowest speed of delivery, it was not possible for the lunar fragment to match the speed of the Moon; instead, it completes a full orbit roughly twice a month, at double the Moon\u2019s velocity. An application for smartphones and tablets allows the moonrock to be tracked on its journey, displaying the position of the package relative to the Moon, other planets in the Solar System, and the user\u2019s own location (unfortunately I have been unable to test it, so I don\u2019t know if it is any more accurate than couriers\u2019 own tracking apps). In common with previous works by Paterson, Second Moon connects an ordinary human activity with stellar phenomena in a way that is poetic yet easy to grasp, stretching the imagination that bit further to reach our closest rocky neighbour.\nThough much of Paterson\u2019s work concerns astronomy, her interests extend to objects found much closer to home, while again using simple, common forms to articulate something much larger. Fossil Necklace is a work that developed out of Paterson\u2019s residency at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, a major medical research centre, and constitutes a long string of beads, each one fashioned from a fossil. The beads are arranged in chronological order, beginning with the remains of some of the earliest life on Earth and ending with animal bones contemporaneous with the emergence and spread of modern humans \u2014 a timespan of approximately 540 million years. At the Wellcome Trust\u2019s galleries in London the necklace was displayed in a small dark room, lit by spotlights; a chart seen before entering gives the name, time period and location of discovery for every fossil in the necklace, while handheld magnifying glasses were supplied to provide a closer look at the small beads.\nThe age and palaeontological provenance of the materials from which the beads were fashioned does not sufficiently account for the sense of wonder elicited by Fossil Necklace \u2014 after all, beads made from polished stone are commonplace, and they are often much older and formed through much the same geological processes. Nor does the fact that one can produce a fossil chronology that can be traced back to the origins of life on Earth seem that remarkable, being already widely known. Relating complex scientific ideas to the forms of everyday objects is part of it, and perhaps for some people this is enough. But I can\u2019t help but wonder if the bringing together of art and science in Fossil Necklace doesn\u2019t also accomplish something else: namely, the bringing to light of the aesthetic already at work within science itself. Were it not for the formal principles that structure scientific knowledge \u2014 forms such as the complex interwoven chains that trace out evolutionary paths, or the circular patterns through which the movements and interactions of stellar and interstellar bodies are understood \u2014 works such as Second Moon and Fossil Necklace simply wouldn\u2019t be possible. The way in which scientific knowledge is thought already has an aesthetic.\nRather than thinking in terms of translation between separate domains of art and science, then, perhaps a more extreme interpretation of Paterson\u2019s work could be summed up in the following dictum: no concept without form. Paterson verifies this notion every time she brings together scientific ideas with everyday objects in such a way that the form of the object comes to mimic the form of the idea. We recognise this mirrored form, because it is the form taken by thought engaging with the world. The moment of this recognition is expressed in the phrase \u201cthe penny dropped\u201d, which has its own aesthetic form and is the source of our wonderment.\nOne could perhaps argue that the aesthetic forms of scientific knowledge are merely vehicles for the articulation of facts \u2014 that the form is not essential, that it is only a metaphor, that it could easily be exchanged for a different form. Wave-particle duality might be offered as an example of such interchangeability of forms. But I struggle to imagine a fact without form, even if it turns out that multiple forms are required to explain that fact; nor can I imagine how such a fact might be observed, or how such an observation might be repeated. In other words, it seems that the aesthetic is right there in the very happening of facts, not something imposed upon them later in order to make sense of them. From this perspective, then, the problem of wave-particle duality is an aesthetic problem. Paterson\u2019s close working relationships with specialists in other scientific-aesthetic fields point the way towards practices that draw on aesthetics not only to articulate such problems, but to solve them.\nhttp://www.katiepaterson.org/",

        "raw_content": "Posted on March 10, 2013 \u00b7 Posted in Pilots & Everyone Else\nby Randy Roughton, US Air Force News Service\n\u201cAlways be true to yourself, and if you have a dream go after it,\u201d she said. \u201cDon\u2019t let anyone discourage you. Dreams don\u2019t just happen with good wishes. It takes hard work and constant determination to make a dream come true.\u201d\nBetty \u2018Tack\u2019 Blake\nLast year, a young female pilot recently showed her 91-year-old guest the F-16 Fighting Falcon she flies at Luke Air Force Base, Ariz. She thanked Betty \u201cTack\u201d Blake several times as she talked about her job, so Blake finally asked the young captain why she was thanking her.\n\u201cBecause you started it,\u201d the captain said. \u201cIf you hadn\u2019t been successful, we wouldn\u2019t be doing what we\u2019re doing today.\u201d\nBlake is believed to be the only living graduate of the first Women\u2019s Airforce Service Pilot training class during World War II. The class began with 38 women pilots on Nov. 16, 1942, but only 23 graduated on April 24, 1943. They weren\u2019t known as WASPs until the merging of the Women\u2019s Flying Training Detachment and Women\u2019s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron on Aug. 5, 1943.\n\u201cWe were an experiment,\u201d said Blake, who now lives in Scottsdale, Ariz. \u201cWe were a guinea pig class, as they called us, because they didn\u2019t think women could learn to fly military planes.\u201d\nBlake began flying at the age of 14 in 1934, and became even more interested in airplanes when she met Amelia Earhart at the University of Hawaii in January 1935. Earhart traveled to the islands in her quest to become the first pilot to solo the 2,408 miles across the Pacific Ocean between Honolulu and Oakland, Calif. Blake was the only child in the audience, so she was seated in the front row for Earhart\u2019s speech. Afterward, Earhart sat beside Blake and invited her to the airport to see the twin-engine Beechcraft she would be flying the following day.\n\u201cShe [Amelia Earhart] was very excited to know I was learning to fly,\u201d Blake said. \u201cShe told me to keep going and do something exciting and show that women could fly. She had a lot of people fighting against her who didn\u2019t think women could do it.\u201d\nBlake flew tourists around the Hawaiian Islands in an open-canopy biplane near where she grew up in Oahu before the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. She recalls the time as two different lives, before and after Dec. 7, 1941.\nThe night before the attack, she was invited by Navy ensigns to the officers club to celebrate her 21st birthday. The next morning, she watched the attack from the balcony of her family home on a hill above Pearl Harbor.\n\u201cMy family didn\u2019t drink, so I\u2019d never had a drink in my life,\u201d Blake said. \u201cThat was my first taste of liquor (at the party). The next morning, when Pearl Harbor happened, I was in bed with the worst hangover I ever had.\n\u201cMy younger brothers woke me up, and we all went to the balcony of my house, and we watched all these planes coming over the mountain behind us going toward the ocean. When the planes went over us, they looked like AT-6 (Texans), but they were (Japanese Mitsubishi A6-M Zeroes). They had big orange suns painted on the bottom of their wings. Then, we saw them as they started diving toward the ocean in front of us. Their machine guns started going off, and you could see the bullets hitting the water and bouncing up.\n\u201cWe had been having so much fun before Pearl Harbor. We were having fun every night, and suddenly it stopped.\u201d\nTwo ensigns Blake dated were killed at Pearl Harbor, and a third, who became her first husband several months later, also would have died if her father hadn\u2019t intervened. He had invited Robert Tackaberry to spend the night after the party so his daughter wouldn\u2019t have to drive him back to his ship at night.\n\u201cIt saved his life,\u201d Blake said. \u201cHis cabin on the (USS) California was below the water line, and they dropped a bomb right in the water beside the ship. His roommate was asleep, and it killed him. So my father always reminded my future husband he\u2019d saved his life.\u201d\nBlake, who worked at Pearl Harbor as a secretary before she married Tackaberry, moved to the East Coast when he was reassigned to a ship in Erie, Penn. A couple of years later, she was selected for the first women\u2019s pilot training class in Houston, near Ellington Field.\nUnlike the casual way women pilots are regarded today, Blake recalls a much different attitude during World War II. However, she had an advantage her fellow classmates didn\u2019t. She was already accustomed to getting along with men from growing up with two brothers in a neighborhood filled with boys.\n\u201cI got along fine with them because I\u2019d grown up with boys,\u201d Blake said. \u201cI knew how to joke, spit through my teeth and crack my jaws with them. That was very fortunate because some of the girls were in tears if a boy made a crack. I just joked back. They were always my pals.\n\u201cBut a lot of the men were not happy having the women fly the same planes they were flying. They watched us like hawks, and if we did anything wrong, it was back at our base before we could get back.\u201d\nAfter completing training, the graduates from the first class were given their choice of assignment and job. Blake chose ferry command at Long Beach, Calif., because she figured she\u2019d be able to fly home to Honolulu. She never got the opportunity, but met her second husband, who was also assigned to Long Beach. Blake was part of a group of pilots who shuttled aircraft from factories to sites where they could be sent overseas. There was some discussion of using WASP pilots as co-pilots for overseas flights, but the war in Europe ended before it could happen.\n\u201cSo, I didn\u2019t get checked out in a lot more planes that I would\u2019ve liked to have flown because they brought all the men pilots back and didn\u2019t need us anymore,\u201d she said. \u201cThey gave us three days\u2019 notice, and it was, \u2018Goodbye, girls.'\u201d\nBlake ferried about 35 aircraft models, in addition to the AT-6 and others she flew in during training. But one airplane still remains her favorite even today.\n\u201cThe P-51 (Mustang) was definitely my favorite,\u201d she said. \u201cWhenever one goes overhead, and there are still a few of them flying around, I hear that sound and instantly know it\u2019s a P-51. It was reliable. I liked the engine, and I just felt safer in it than anything else.\u201d\nBlake recently attended a funeral for the only other living graduate from the first WASP class, who also lived in the Phoenix area. The class of 1943 that was the source of the young Luke AFB pilot\u2019s gratitude is down to just one.\n\u201cNow I\u2019m the only one left, and I hope I\u2019m here for a while,\u201d Blake said.\nMore photos of Betty \u2018Tack\u2019 Blake at Texas Women\u2019s University WASP photo archives.\nAndy\u2019s WASP Web Pages",

        "raw_content": "AJWRB thanks you for taking the time to consider this information on blood. Assuming you are a Jehovah\u2019s Witness and have read all of the information, the next step for you will be to research the scriptures and references cited through out these pages. We feel that it is important that you not take our word on what has been here presented, but that you actually research these matters for yourself.\nAlthough this matter can seem complex, it really isn\u2019t. In the final analysis, for the Watchtower Society\u2019s blood policy to be correct, they must be able to demonstrate with certainty that a blood transfusion is the equivalent of eating blood. As we have seen, they cannot. Such a notion finds no support from the scientific or medical community.\nIf you are a Jehovah\u2019s Witness, you may be inclined to talk with another Witness at this point. In fact, you may find it hard to contain yourself. Please be cautious, and don\u2019t overwhelm others with the information.\nPlease understand, this doctrine has cost many lives. We wish there were some hard numbers available, but are unaware of any. If the society possesses such statistics, they are carefully guarded. We can personally document numerous deaths, some among close family members. Perhaps you have had a similar experience, or you are just now being confronted with this issue. Perhaps this challenge will face you or a loved one in the future.\nOne can certainly imagine the Watchtower continuing to reform its policy on blood. This will most likely happen in gradual steps to lessen the impact on both the Watchtower Society and the Jehovah\u2019s Witness community. Watchtower lawyers and governing body members likely feel this slow process is necessary to avoid costly litigation or a large exodus from the organization. They may also be hoping that developments with artificial blood like Hemopure will save them from their present dilemma. Should such treatments become widely available, we could only rejoice. Unfortunately, this will come too late for many of Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses. It doesn\u2019t have to come too late for you and your loved ones.\nWhen you complete your research, and assuming you reach the same conclusions as we have, you will then find yourself in a dilemma. To openly question or challenge this doctrine could result in a judicial action leading to disfellowshiping if you are a Witness. In any event, we urge you to be cautious, for you risk much.\nMany Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses have decided that they cannot in good conscience remain associated with the organization, and have left, or are leaving. Others feel they must stay to help their friends and loved ones, and work for reforms. Yet others are content to simply wait it out and hope that the blood issue does not come up. You must decide the proper course of action for you and your family.\nIs it possible for you to disagree with this doctrine and continue being one of Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses? Perhaps. To a large extent this will depend upon your conscience, your personal circumstances, and your ability to harmonize various Bible principles with your situation. If you decide to stay, and are at some point questioned by organizational representatives, what should you do?\nIs it necessary for you to admit to the elders what you believe about the Watchtower\u2019s blood doctrine? Does Jehovah require this of you. Consider the following quotation from the Watchtower publication, \u201cInsight on the Scriptures:\u201d\nWhile malicious lying is definitely condemned in the Bible, this does not mean that a person is under obligation to divulge truthful information to people who are not entitled to it\u2026 that is why Jesus on certain occasions refrained from giving full information or direct answers to certain questions when doing so could have brought unnecessary harm. (Mt 15:1-6; 21:23-27; Joh 7:3-10)\nFurthermore, Jesus counseled:\n\u201cTherefore prove yourselves cautious as serpents and yet innocent as doves. Be on your guard against men.\u201d (Matt. 10:16, 17)\nAlso interesting is this comment from the Watchtower regarding Isaac\u2019s use of deception:\n\u201cIsaac likewise spoke of his wife Rebekah as his sister to the men of the city of Gerar\u2026Isaac explained his strategy, saying: I said it [that she is my sister] for fear I should die on her account.\u201d W56 2/1 80\nFrom a scriptural standpoint, it is entirely appropriate for you to withhold certain information when your life is at risk. To do so is not to lie, but rather to employ what the Watchtower Society refers to as theocratic war strategy. Whether or not you personally feel comfortable with such an approach will determine how you respond, but bear in mind, your life both physically and spiritually could be at risk depending on how you respond.\nFurthermore, bear in mind that the Watchtower Society knows the truth about blood, and chooses to pursue a policy that frequently results in the death of members of the organization. They have not even directly responded to the information we have presented them, so there is little doubt that they act with \u201cbad faith\u201d in our view.\nFinally, they have shown themselves more than willing to simply silence dissenters by disfellowshipping them for telling the truth. With these thoughts in mind, we offer the following suggestions in the event you are questioned or charged.\nYou might simply state that you have been doing some research in the publications on blood, and that some of the changes over the years confuse you. Remember Jude counseled that mercy should be shown to those who have doubts. The key here is to stay away from strong dogmatic statements like: \u201cThe Society\u2019s position on blood is wrong.\u201d You could tell the brothers that you will be careful to discuss your questions with the elders in the future, and apologize for any disturbance you may have caused. Assure them that you value being a part of the congregation.\nThen there is the matter of carrying a blood card. This document could cost you your life in an emergency situation. In trauma cases, Witnesses commonly die as a result of massive hemorrhage. Volume expanders can\u2019t carry oxygen to your brain and other tissues, that takes red blood cells. We suggest that you go ahead and fill the card out, then tuck it away for safe keeping. If you are summoned before a judicial committee, you can always go get it before the meeting and put it in your wallet once you get to the Kingdom Hall.\nThis alone may be enough to deflect any judicial action. We suggest you don\u2019t get involved in trying to convince the elders that the doctrine is wrong. Not unless you want to be disfellowshipped. You also may want to make up your own medical document that states what your wishes are and put this in your wallet. Get it witnessed or notarized. This should take care of getting you life saving treatment in the event a well-meaning friend, relative or elder shows up at the hospital and you are unconscious.\nIt is likely that you are going to encounter situations that will call on you to act. How can you stand by and watch innocent people lose their lives for nothing? Of course, you will have to decide how to handle these situations. Perhaps you could anonymously contact them by letter, giving them the address to this website. If it is an emergency, perhaps you could give them a copy of the information that is presented on this site through a third-party like a nurse or volunteer at the hospital.\nIf you find yourself in a situation where you need blood, you will have to be very cautious. Discuss this with your doctor, and tell him you need complete confidentiality. If your surgery is elective you may want to consider an autologous transfusion. Your own blood can be stored for up to 42 days, and some specialized facilities can store your blood for as long as ten years.\nDo not advise other witnesses you are having surgery, etc. This will likely invite a visit from them or HLC, and make it much more difficult for you to get the treatment you need. Perhaps you could arrange for a short vacation, and have the treatment in a nearby city. If so, don\u2019t sign in as one of Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses as this could lead to a visit from a member of the Hospital Visitation Committee.\nIf you find yourself, or a family member in a situation where you need blood, and other Witnesses are present, we suggest you enlist the aid of the hospital. They can inform other Witnesses, including elders and HLC members, that the patient is too sick for any visitors, and they can enforce this.\nNeedless to say, if you get caught using a blood product not currently approved, you may be questioned. We personally know some elders who feel there is no choice but to consider a Jehovah\u2019s Witness who takes blood as worthy of disassociation and shunning. Of course this is an unscriptural position, but it appears to be pretty common.\nOne last thing. At some point you will likely ask yourself the question: \u201cIf the Watchtower Society is wrong about blood how can they be God\u2019s channel for providing \u201cspiritual food at the proper time?\u201d\nPerhaps one of the greatest dilemmas many of us have faced is coming to grips with this question. The answers are unsettling, and if you spend much time on the Internet, you will quickly learn that the WTS has other problems in addition to its doctrine on blood. Perhaps you are already aware of this. Many Witnesses have written to AJWRB concerning other issues related to chronology, shunning, etc. We have no position on these other issues as a group although individual members have their own views concerning these points.\nAJWRB has a very focused agenda. The blood prohibition causes us more concern than any other teaching or doctrine of the WTS. The Watchtower\u2019s blood policy can cost you your life or the life of your mate or your children, and it\u2019s does not have a solid scriptural basis. Your death or the death of others will bring no honor to Jehovah for \u201cthe dead do not praise God.\u201d Sadly, the Watchtower obviously does not understand this and even has the audacity to brag about the Jehovah\u2019s Witness children who have died supporting its bizarre policy.\nBased upon the Watchtower Society\u2019s reform\u2019s and posturing, we are convinced that the doctrine is already in the process of being discarded ala, \u201cthe generation of 1914,\u201d \u201corgan transplants,\u201d \u201cvaccines,\u201d etc. Those who die do so for the society to save face.\nAs for our other beliefs, if there is one constant, it is change. Can you imagine if Br. Russell or Br. Rutherford (1st and 2nd presidents of the Watchtower Society) were alive today? If they conscientiously held to their beliefs, they would be disfellowshipped as apostates, yet today the Watchtower teaches they are reigning with Christ in heaven. How ironic.\nSome on becoming aware of this information may decide to walk away from the organization. This is certainly their choice to make and quite understandable. For many in the organization, walking away from friends and families is not an option. They must find a way to make things better for their brothers and sisters, their families and themselves. This is a courageous position to take that can only be admired.\nWe reiterate that we are not advising individuals to leave the organization, nor are we advising them to stay. This is a choice they must make. Either choice has serious ramifications, and \u201ceach must render an account to God.\u201d To assist those who decide to stay, we have made some suggestions that we believe are in harmony with scriptural principles. In the final analysis, however, each individual must decide how to handle the various situations discussed, and should act so as to maintain a good conscience.\nWe hope that you have found this information helpful and that you will consider doing what you can to help bring about reform on this vital issue. Please consider the suggestions made in the article \u201cSpeeding Up the Pace of Reform\u201d.",

        "title": "M\u00fasica, arte y cultura: A TALKING HEADS ALBUM, FORTY YEARS LATER",
        "raw_content": "More Songs About Buildings and Food, a concept album about late capitalism, speaks with disarming directness to the current political moment.\nLucas Fagen\nTalking Heads\u2019 More Songs About Buildings and Food is a concept album about 8late capitalism that speaks with disarming directness to the current political moment. Celebrating its 40th birthday this month, the album has always riveted, but if anything the political and social predicaments that inform these songs have only become more dysfunctional over time. The fetishization of work and the increasingly long work week, self-help individualism and the power of positive thinking, the inspirational entrepreneurial success story, the nightmarish system that underlies and exacerbates these horrors \u2014 More Songs About Buildings and Food predicted it all. Those who have spent time reading resumes and cover letters will recognize the language of professional aspiration in these songs, the polite catchphrases beloved by administrators for how they detach speaker from utterance, the brightly disingenuous tone of exaggerated sincerity that pervades advertisements, press releases, everything. In 1978, \u201cThe Good Thing\u201d presumably scanned as satire. In 2018, the song could pass for a Silicon Valley business email.\nTalking Heads belong to the alternative rock canon\u2019s highest echelon, universally beloved as icons of quirk, and will remain so in perpetuity as new generations of aesthetes discover their back catalog and the joys of gawking over the Stop Making Sense video with a group of friends. Ukulele covers of \u201cThis Must Be the Place\u201d abound on YouTube, as do Remain in Light T-shirts at music festivals; Heads posters to this day adorn the bedrooms of indie fans across the globe. By the time they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2002, they had made their mark: art-pop bands were free to play with funk and \u201cworld\u201d genres from a punkoid base, nerdboys free to present themselves as such.\nTheir legacy has persisted, just as their overt presence in the rock world has shrunk. They\u2019re so obviously omnipresent, their model so played out, it\u2019s almost gauchely self-evident when bands namecheck them as an influence. So, the peculiarities of their discography still startle. Compared to other icons of quirk in the same league, like Bowie and Lou Reed, the harshness and tightness of early Talking Heads alarms. Compared to the few other big quasi-new-wave bands filling arenas in the \u201880s, like R.E.M. and U2, their refusal to appreciate things like beauty and emotions seems both convoluted and inhumane. In a sense they\u2019re too weird to engage with directly, given the sincere literalism of the current critical moment. That\u2019s one reason More Songs About Buildings and Food remains a terrifying listen.\nArt school refugees attracted to aesthetic ideals of starkness and extremity, Talking Heads surfaced in the \u201870s New York punk scene, one of the early CBGB bands. From the start, in live performance and on record, they distinguished themselves musically from the punk template with a wired lankiness that suggested nervous, rather than cathartic, energy. Their 1977 debut, the eponymous Talking Heads: 77, is the dinkiest of the classic punk debuts, fusing punk\u2019s economical spareness with strained mock cheer. The songs that resulted are animated less by a dialectic than the surprisingly rich common ground between theoretically distant sensibilities. The band sound rattles, deploying skewed guitar shrieks and melodious ditties in equal measure, anchored by the supple, reliable rhythm section of bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz\u2019s. \u201cPsycho Killer\u201d and \u201cNo Compassion\u201d typify their harsh side, as David Byrne and Jerry Harrison\u2019s choked guitars unwind from their coils to slash at each other. The gloriously chirpy \u201cDon\u2019t Worry About the Government\u201d is an advertising jingle by comparison, but it shares with \u201cPsycho Killer\u201d a detachment, an angularity. Always there\u2019s the sense that the song is playing a joke on you.\nMost crucially, the album establishes Byrne\u2019s carefully constructed persona as lead singer. Imagine The Office\u2019s Dwight Schrute as a Don DeLillo protagonist. As introduced to the world on Talking Heads: 77, David Byrne is not a punk, he\u2019s a geek, and hardly a lovable one \u2014 the grownup version of the weird kid who sat in the back of the class and mumbled to himself, who stared at his feet and clenched his jaw, so lost in his own thoughts he never talked to anyone else. He\u2019s white collar, having landed in a generic corporate management job through his obsessive work ethic and slavish deference to authority; there he sputters proclamations like \u201cThis report\u2019s incomplete\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m gonna give the problem to you.\u201d He believes in science, business, and government, with absolute faith that the system will take care of people and put them in their place. He\u2019s a proponent of enlightened self-interest and considers himself a gifted motivational speaker. He believes in action over talk, hard logic over feeling, decisiveness over introspection. \u201cDecisiveness\u201d is one of his favorite words. He\u2019s always careful to use proper technical language. He writes songs about business with an insider\u2019s ease and writes love songs like he\u2019s trying to analyze a scientific phenomenon foreign to him. He has a purist\u2019s disdain for human weakness and the squishier emotions, like lack of total self-control, or \u201ccompassion.\u201d Often his disdain spills over into seething rage. He\u2019s too repressed to do anything about it or even process the emotion, and it confuses him.\nMen like this exist in droves \u2014 awkward, frustrated, but dangerous droves \u2014 and the Internet has increased their visibility. We\u2019re acutely conscious of them whenever they type out paragraphs of technical minutia; whenever they correct women to make a show of correcting women; whenever they flaunt false notions of rationality and objectivity; whenever we encounter words like \u201cmansplain,\u201d \u201cscientism,\u201d and \u201cincel.\u201d (The Byrne of \u201cI\u2019m Not in Love\u201d would sneer at \u201cincels\u201d for wanting to have sex in the first place.) Byrne invented the character as a nightmarish exaggeration, before the type was so broadly familiar. Dramatizing social ineptitude was his way of fusing punk with art school; it meant he could play around with tropes and themes. Through the eyes of the geek, he could drag cultural tendencies to their logical endpoints and distort the world into a dystopia he claimed to prefer over real life.\nThe perverse fantasies enacted by Byrne on early Talking Heads albums are a mutated form of satire \u2014 they don\u2019t exactly uphold conventional values, but they\u2019re so cheerful about pretending to that they don\u2019t code as challenges either. The character isn\u2019t himself the object of satire, nor are the opinions he espouses, nor the situations he finds himself in. But a rationalist\u2019s voice is perfect for revealing subliminal feelings usually left unarticulated, because to him they\u2019re not feelings, and he\u2019ll openly admit to them \u2014 he\u2019s rationalized them all. What horrifies about Talking Heads is how calmly and reasonably Byrne expresses the awful little unsaid thoughts that cross our minds regularly. All the tiny daily moments of loathing for people ahead of you in line, cutting you off on the highway, walking slower than you on the sidewalk, standing too close to you in the elevator. All the sudden impulses brought upon us by impatience and exasperation that we immediately ignore and discard for our own social survival and humanity\u2019s greater good. All the logical contortions we go through to justify feeling as we do, forgotten once the feeling passes, all presented brightly, neatly, as if they\u2019re totally normal, because they are\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.\nhttps://hyperallergic.com/449674/talking-heads-more-songs-about-buildings-and-food-forty-years-",

This impressive vehicle was engineered so that it could carry one ton of material without a problem, and were issued in designations from 3100 to 3800.\nWhen the United States got involved in World War II, the government forbade most industries from civilian production. For four years, GM and all the car companies at the time, concentrated their effort on fighting the war with no concern for what would happen after peace was accomplished. The transition back to civilian life after the war ended in 1945 was rockier than anyone might have anticipated, with such companies as Ford teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. It was not until 1947 that Chevy introduced this truck, their first new design for peacetime purposes after the fight. It was popular enough to remain in production until 1955, with operators able to specifically request different specialty bodies for their specific needs.\nTagged: World War II, General Motors, Civilian Production",

        "title": "my hobbies",
        "raw_content": "The importance of a hobby\nI am a retired person and dinghy sailing is my current hobby. Before that it was designing, building & flying hang gliders and microlight aircraft. On the one on the right I flew from London almost to Paris in 1979. The Thames and Tower Bridge can be seen below.\nEven further back, from twelve years old until I was in my forties, I flew model aircraft.\nAt first they were free flight models which had to be chased, (it keeps you fit). First they were powered by rubber band motors but rubber was scarce during wartime so we used to strip old inner tubes in desperation, I became more interested in model gliders to bypass this problem. These were towed up by a line, perhaps 100 metres long; usually by running like the clappers and if you were lucky a passing thermal would take the glider higher and higher. If you were very lucky it would come out of the thermal without having drifted very far from the launch point; usually however there was a breeze and the model would drift down wind which resulted in a cross country chase after it, sometimes for 2 or 3 miles.\nAt age 19 I was called up for service in the RAF and did just over 2 years of National Service as an Instrument Repairer. The last 9 months were spent in Singapore at RAF Changi (now Changi International Airport) where I managed to continue with my hobby, building my first power model and a glider. There was a model club there.\nWe were allowed to fly from the runway when it was not in use but had to be ready to stop when notified by air traffic control.\nBack in Blighty I continued with my hobby and found myself flying with two other like minded souls, Ray Musgrove and Jimmy Shaw. We decided to form a model aero club and called it the Oldham & District Model Aero Club. (It still exists today, nearly 70 years later).\nThen, when a radio control frequency was allocated for model control use, I gave up this foolish habit of chasing uncontrolled models and opted for slope soaring radio controlled model gliders, also flying powered models. (me on the transmitter, right)\nAbout this time I designed and made a few small diesel engines of 0.45cc capacity - that's right - 0.45cc with about 5/16\" (8mm) bore and 3/8\" (9.5mm) stroke - and built my own radio control systems. Going on from this I made my own television set (black & white) on which half the street watched the present Queen's Coronation, also small portable radios and tape recorders. So my hobbies taught me about aerodynamics, electronics, engines and I don't know what else. All this time I have been a keen photographer with very good photo, cine and video records of family life.\nIn 1972 I heard about hang gliding which originated in California. I had to have a go and as I couldn't find anyone who supplied plans or was was doing it successfully in the U.K. I had to design and make my own based on the meagre information which trickled across from the U.S.A. and my own knowledge of aerodynamics. After a few false starts a successful design was produced and others became interested and as a result I sold hundreds of sets of plans and supplied materials and eventually got into full manufacture along with a couple of partners. Engines were added after much experiment by a number of manufacturers and Microlight aircraft were born, initially very simple foot launched machines, really no more than a hang glider with an engine attached, but eventually they became very sophisticated machines with cockpits and wheels, electric starters etc. Microlights have even been flown around the world.\nIn parallel I had a full time job in engineering having served my time as a tool maker, eventually becoming Managing Director of a small firm which made special purpose machinery. In small firms you tend to be taken for what you can do rather than what your qualifications are, and as World War 2 arrived just before I left school at 14 I had to go straight into work in an aircraft factory, and didn't have any academic qualifications at that time. However, an engineering apprenticeship and four years night school 3 times each week, plus my time in the RAF made up for that omission. I can say that I've had a very full and interesting working life and all because of my hobbies. Without them I would not have progressed as far in my full time employment.\nSo, as far as I'm concerned, hobbies aren't just something to fill the leisure hours, they are an essential part of a fuller and more rounded education.\nHobbies keep kids off the streets.\nThere are no obese kids in my sailing club.\nIt should be Government policy, both National and local, to encourage all hobbies.\nIn my home life I was married to Hilda for 55 years but sadly Hilda died on June 10 2011 after a long illness.\nWe had two daughters, Janet (and husband Nick and Katie and Adam), Lynn (in Perth W.A.), one son Mark (with Jacqui and baby Macy) and 2 other grandchildren, Scott, Paul & Amanda in Australia, with great grandson Blake, all of whom we are very proud of.\nWho could ask for more.

Bison come in three varieties (interfertile and hence of the same species), namely the European wood bison, the American plains bison, and the American wood bison; while the latter two are commonly referred to as buffalo, they are actually more closely related to cattle than to the Asiatic buffalo. Cattle, Asiatic buffalo, and bison constitute three of the five genera in this family, the other two being the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) and the yak (Poephagus grunniens), although the latter is sometimes classified in the same genus as cattle (Bos). All are herbivores, dependent solely on plant material for their nutrition. Furthermore, they are ruminants, having the ability to rapidly ingest their food and to subsequently regurgitate and rechew it. The first of their four stomach compartments, the rumen, is used for microbial fermentation of plant material, some of which would not otherwise be digestible. All the animals are fourfooted and have split hooves. Both male and female have horns, except for those with a genetic variation leading to polled (hornless) animals. They have a keen sense of smell, and good sight and hearing. They are herd animals and generally produce a single offspring annually; when nutritionally or metabolically stressed, they may calve every other year. They usually give birth in the spring, except for intensively managed cattle, which can do so year-round. Cattle evolved on the plains and forests of Europe and Asia. Bos taurus was first domesticated in the Fertile Crescent 6000 b.c.e. and Bos indicus independently in south Asia, probably India, about one thousand years later. They were likely first domesticated for religious purposes, and they are still considered sacred in India. They subsequently were developed for work (such as pulling carts and riding), milk, and meat. Their hides were used for shelter and clothing. In addition, their manure is used for fertilizer and, when dried, for fuel. Currently, they are the most numerous livestock species in the world, numbering 1.3 billion, and are found in most areas of the world, except Antarctica. Depending on the breed and nutrition, mature males weigh between 1,000 and 3,000 pounds (450 to 1,350 kilograms).Worldwide, cattle produce 85 percent of the milk consumed by humans. In developed countries, cattle have been highly selected for milk or meat production, leading to specialized breeds. Holstein-Friesian is the primary dairy cattle breed, while Hereford, Angus, and Brahman are three well-known beef cattle breeds; the latter is a Bos indicus breed. Various crossbred and regional varieties exist. The transportation of feed grains permits cattle to be raised in areas that would otherwise not support them. The Asiatic buffalo evolved in the forests and swamps of south and east Asia. It was also probably domesticated in two locations, the river buffalo on the Indian subcontinent 3000 b.c.e. and the swamp buffalo in east or southeast Asia about one thousand years later. Depending on the breed and nutrition, the mature male buffalo can weigh up to two thousand pounds (nine hundred kilograms). It lacks ahumpand a dewlap. Like cattle, it is used for work, meat, milk, clothing, fertilizer, and fuel. While most of the world's 150 million buffalo are still found in Asia, some are around the Mediterranean (Italy and Egypt), in eastern Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, and Russia), Brazil, and Australia. In the developing world, its use as a work animal is paramount, particularly in plowing rice paddies. However, breeds of river buffalo have been selected for milk production and account for fully half of the milk production in India. Mozzarella cheese was originally made from buffalo milk in Italy, and the very best continues to be so made. The bison evolved in the colder regions of Europe and Central Asia; it came to North America over a land bridge from Asia during the last ice age. It was never domesticated, in large measure because of its unpredictable behavior, including a tendency to stampede. The European wood bison was hunted nearly to extinction and only survives in a few small herds. After the last ice age and the demise of mammoths, the bison was the largest animal in the Western Hemisphere; the mature male weighs around two thousand pounds (nine hundred kilograms). In 1500 c.e., over forty million bison roamed the plains and woods of North America. The Plains Indians depended on the bison for food, shelter, clothing, and fuel. With the completion of the transcontinental railroad, the American bison was decimated for meat, hide, sport, and sometimes no apparent reason. By the end of the nineteenth century, fewer than one thousand survived. However, conservation efforts by the American Bison Society were successful and today over 200,000 animals are found in hundreds of herds, including twenty-five with more than 500 animals each. The Bronx Zoo was particularly important in preserving seventy-seven animals from five founding herds, fromwhich most American bison today are descended.\nComparison of Cattle and Buffalo\nCompared to cattle, the Asiatic buffalo is bigboned, massive, and set on strong legs with large hooves. It can pull heavier loads, but is slower. It is better suited to muddy conditions because of its larger hooves and lower susceptibility to foot rot; accordingly, it is much more useful in working flooded rice paddies. On the other hand, its hooves are softer; if used extensively on hard surfaces, it must have its hooves protected by metal plates, wooden shoes, or straw pads. Perhaps surprisingly in view of its origin in the hot and humid areas of Asia, the buffalo is more susceptible to heat stress because of its limited sweat glands. It is best worked in the early morning or evening and must have access to water or mud to wallow in and dissipate heat. It is not tolerant of cold because it lacks hair and the added insulation it provides. It is relatively slow growing and, hence, is not as efficient as a producer of meat. Under similar environments and management in the Third World, buffalo and cattle produce similar amounts of milk. In the developed world, the milk production of buffalo is much lower, probably because of the greater genetic selection that has been practiced on dairy cattle. Its hide is very thick and tough; this appears to provide some protection from tick-borne diseases. The disposition of swamp buffalo, especially, is very placid, with its care often entrusted to children. However, it does have a strong hunger reflex and requires heavier fencing than cattle generally do.\nComparison of Bison with Cattle and Buffalo\nCompared with cattle and the Asiatic buffalo, the bison has never been domesticated. However, it can be farmed, and around 90 percent of the animals are currently in private herds. Compared with cattle and buffalo, it is the most homogeneous in terms of color, with mature animals often a dark brown, although a few white bison do occur. While it will charge to defend itself, its preferred defense is to run; it can maintain a speed of thirty-five miles per hour (fifty-six kilometers per hour) for half an hour. Because of its hardiness, it can survive severe winters, with temperatures down to -50 degrees Fahrenheit (-45 degrees Celsius). It is easily more cold tolerant than the buffalo and even most cattle. It is susceptible to many diseases that affect cattle, specifically brucellosis, which causes abortions in cattle and undulant fever in humans. Controlling the disease in wild animals is more difficult than in cattle. Accordingly, it is important to keep bison and cattle separate unless both are known to be brucellosis-free. Bison require sturdier fencing than do cattle and probably buffalo.\nCattle, Buffalo, and Bison Facts\nFamily: Bovidae (oxenlike animals)\nGenus and species: Bos primigenius, also known as Bos taurus or Bos indicus (cattle); Bubalus bubalis (Asiatic or water buffalo), B. depressiicornis (lowland anoa), B. quarlesi (mountain anoa), B. mindorensis (tamarau); Bison bonasus (European wood bison), B. bison (American bison)\nGeographical location: Cattle-originally the plains of Europe and Asia, currently worldwide, except for Antarctica; buffalo- mostly south and east Asia; bison: plains and prairies of North America\nHabitat: Cattle-grasslands; buffalo-tropical and subtropical forests, swamps, or grasslands; bison-temperate grasslands Gestational period: Cattle-nine months; buffalo-ten to eleven months; bison-nine to ten months\nLife span: Up to twenty-five years, depending on management\nSpecial anatomy: Cattle-may have a hump over the shoulders and a dewlap (B. indicus) or neither (B. taurus); buffalo-a thick hide, which makes it resistant to some disease-carrying insects; few sweat glands, necessitating wallowing in water or mud in hot environments; breeds exhibit a wide variety of horns; bison- large head and a hump over the shoulders; two layers of hair, a dense undercoat and a coarser outercoat, hardy and able to withstand cold winters; a Jacobson's organ on the roof of the mouth to enhance its sense of smell\nFlame Templed Babbler\nPhoto Gallery of - Cattle, Buffalo, and Bison",

It is not worth it, which is a danger you are not going to want to make the many of. Safe techniques are vital when you are dealing with an issue. An emergency needs to be handled care, and when you choose a tested service, you are going to begin to understand the value they are going to be giving the circumstance at hand.\nThe moment you feel lured to acquire drain cleaning products\u2013 do not! Not only are these chemicals extreme to utilize in your household, but they\u2019re likewise not as efficient as a drain snake. All Plumbers usage a drain snake to clear clogged up pipelines, so by investing in this simple tool, you can save a lot of money.\nMake sure to put a container under the pipe, since you will have water leaking out. When once again, if you do not know ways to link and glue PVC pipe together, go to YouTube.\nIf you do not understand the best ways to dismantle and re-install a toilet, you can discover many great walkthroughs on YouTube. Naturally, you will need to get and install a brand-new O-Ring wax seal, however if you have to take off the toilet to take care of the obstruction, you are down to desperate measures.\nHot water heater Repair And Replacement: Is your water heater not working appropriately or is it leaking, making loud noises or merely not working at all? If so, then you can have a Plumber inspect it, and they will replace it if needed. Nevertheless, there is a possibility your hot water heater can be fixed, and if that holds true, they will have the ability to make the required repair services to get your water heating system working like brand-new once more.\nSometimes in a cooking area sink, the trap will fill up with food debris, and you will need to take the trap apart just to remove the particles. When you have achieved that, then water will stream easily once more.\nThey might not even take care of the underlying issue and this will end costing you thousands of dollars as soon as the problem grows to a point where it causes structural damage and other damages. Nevertheless, this does not imply that going with the most expensive business is the very best. You must select a business that offers affordable rates and is credible in providing what you expect.\nA Leaky Faucet: A dripping tap is not simply an inflammation however can likewise indicate a bigger issue. Apart from that a dripping faucet wastes water, it might merely suggest that the washer on the tap has deteriorated to the degree that faucet can no more be closed efficiently.\nWhen you have your estimates in you can pick the plumbing professional that you wish to make use of. If you are pleased with the service, you want to keep the24 hour plumber Portland professional\u2019s info on file so you can utilize them once more if there is another emergency situation. The best thing is to check your Plumbing every couple of months approximately.\nDiscovering Shutoff Valves And Main Drains: Likewise, the first thing that any house owner need to understand is where the valve is to shut off water to the home. This might be inside your home or outside by one of the outdoors faucets. There are also isolation valves that can be used to shut off water to parts of your house and leave it on for others. These valves may be under the sink or near the toilet. The 2nd thing to understand is where the opening is to the sewage system\u2019s primary line. This opening is normally near the back of the house. It is typically covered by a cap that can be screwed on and off.\nDrainage systems all function by gravity. It then ends up being necessary to guarantee that in the original installations proper care is taken to give the right needed slopes that enable the drain to function. These systems are never ever under pressure. Correctly set up drain systems will have drain covers, traps, and manholes that permit their hassle-free and easy upkeep. You have to be aware of all the drain positions, their covers, traps and manholes if you are needed to manage emergency situations that can occur in these systems.",

Library of Congress catalog No. 81-70978 / ISBN 0-942024-01-X.)\nThis book is not copyrighted. You are asked to reproduce it in whole or in part, to distribute it with or without charge, in as many languages as possible, to as many people as possible.\nThe Japanese monkey, Macaca fuscata, has been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years. In 1952, on the island of Koshima scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkeys liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.\nAn 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers, too. This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists.\nBetween 1952 and 1958, all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.\nThen something startling took place. In the autumn of 1958, a certain number of Koshima monkeys were washing sweet potatoes\u2014the exact number is not known. Let us suppose that when the sun rose one morning there were 99 monkeys on Koshima Island who had learned to wash their sweet potatoes. Let\u2019s further suppose that later that morning, the hundredth monkey learned to wash potatoes.\nBut notice. A most surprising thing observed by these scientists was that the habit of washing sweet potatoes then jumped over the sea \u2026Colonies of monkeys on other islands and the mainland troop of monkeys at Takasakiyama began washing their sweet potatoes!\nThus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind. Although the exact number may very, the Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the consciousness property of these people. But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness is picked up by almost everyone! \u2026\nYou may be the \"Hundredth Monkey\"\u2026",

        "raw_content": "This mixed-use development in Chippendale has built a new neighbourhood, David Tickle takes a look at what has defined its success.\nThere is the citation from the Council for Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat who in recognising the main tower as the Best Tall Building Worldwide in 2014, spoke as much as about the amenity surrounding the building \u2013 the extension of landscape, the creation of \u201cplanted plateueas\u201d and \u201cgreen urban sculpture\u201d. And then there is the project website, with its team of architects \u2013 from Foster and Nouvel to Tzannes and JPW \u2013 who speak of the aspiration to create more than just buildings: a new model of city neighbourhood, an urban landscape, a contemporary place.\nAnd, of course, there is the name.\nThe park is, well, central to the story of Central Park.\nThere was never doubt this was going to be a significant project for Sydney. It is a major inner urban site, sandwiched between city centre and rough-and-tumble Chippendale. Locked away from public access for decades, but in the minds of many, a public asset \u2013 a beer factory, a multi-generational employer and a place of social and physical heritage. It was a two-billion dollar development exercise, a 5.8 hectare site, but first and foremost an opportunity to do urban renewal well.\nWith all such projects in Sydney, the realisation of Central Park has taken a long and convoluted path, through a rotation of developers, design teams and approval authorities. Australand first purchased an option to develop the site in 2003, but following an invited master planning competition and some wrangling with the City of Sydney, withdrew from the project two years later. Singaporean-based Frasers acquired the site in 2007 (and ultimately, Australand some years later), and with a refreshed design team, sought approval via the state government instead. The vision for the site, led personally by Frasers\u2019 chairman of the time, Stanley Quek, promised a whole new paradigm in urban living.\nThe revised plan was able to accommodate two seemingly contradictory outcomes \u2013 an increase in floor space as well as green space. This was done by contracting building footprints, pushing floor space higher into towers (elevating the value of the residential also, no doubt) and trading in street and pavement for landscape. It was a clever move, one that optimised the commercial outcomes of the site, along with the promise of greater community benefit.\nThe earlier masterplans for the site, including that supported by the City of Sydney, envisaged its main open space as a linear park, running north-south between Broadway and Chippendale. As this plan evolved, a key decision was to reform this space \u2013 a simple rectangle, placed against the Chippendale edge. Thus, the central (more accurately, off-central) park was born.\nThe relocation of the park was key. It no longer was the mediator of two urban conditions; liberated from its city edge and any aspiration for this to be a civic space. It was now a local park, a space for residents, both new and existing. It needed to be more open, more unrestrained, more Chippendale.\nOne Central Park viewed from Broadway.

Courtesy of Frasers Property Australia and Sekisui House Australia.\nCentral Park viewed from Chippendale Green. Photo: Simon Wood. Courtesy of Frasers Property Australia and Sekisui House Australia\nThe space itself is simple \u2013 crossed by two orthogonal pathways that define a number of grassed terraces. The park\u2019s amenities include a barbeque to the side, a water cascade and an understated artwork. The detailing is unfussy and robust, with a restrained palette of materials. And importantly, the edges of the park are open, allowing access at almost any point. This openness means that the space is used by dog walkers and joggers, picnickers and pop-up marketeers, dance battlers and cos-players. It is a space that understands that the most critical ingredient for the success of a place is simply people.\nThen there are all the other spaces \u2013 a sunken courtyard for eating and drinking, the newly opened Spice Alley, a shopping centre that doubles as a games arcade and art gallery. These are places of intimacy, compression, intensity, in contrast to the simple openness of the main park space.\nIn total, Central Park has delivered more than 30,000 square metres of open space. For comparison, the new Barangaroo Headland Park is 60,000 square metres. If we measured such things, the open space ratio of the site would be 0.5:1. This is quite a feat for a dense, inner city development site.\nThe name Central Park clearly invites the comparison with its New York namesake, and despite the difference in location, age and scale, there are some interesting parallels. The original Central Park was created in the mid-nineteenth century as New York was rapidly growing \u2013 a landscape foil to the noise and congestion of the city. Its urban edge is now intensively developed on all sides. Green and grey work as a complementary pair: the generosity of the park, the multitude of activities and experiences it houses, allow for greater building density; in turn, the buildings define and enliven the park. Our Central Park is almost a scaled-down version of this model \u2013 where the spaces between buildings generate as much interest and value as the buildings themselves.\nWhile Central Park, New York was envisaged and delivered as a public project, it is managed by the Central Park Conservancy, a not-for-profit private organisation. The Sydney version also relies on the partnership of private and public interest \u2013 not in the formal sense, but in understanding that a market-driven development can also deliver meaningful public spaces for the city. In fact, it relies upon them \u2013 not just to justify higher densities, but to create more authentic and engaging urban places.\nIt is an inclusive and optimistic view of urban renewal, one where commercial and community outcomes are seen as complementary, not competing, forces.",

        "raw_content": "#LocalBuzz: Scottsdale City Council Candidates Debate Prop. 420 and Sales Tax Initiative\nAs the Scottsdale city election draws near, it is now more important than ever to get to know the candidates looking to lead the city. Scottsdale long had a reputation of being a tourist destination and entertainment hub, but it\u2019s also a city beloved by its residents. To ensure that Scottsdale stays that way, it needs a dedicated council committed to its residents,\nbusinesses and integrity while also having a vision for the future.\nLast Monday, the Scottsdale Independent hosted the 2018 Scottsdale City Council debate where candidates deliberated an array of issues. The five candidates pursuing the three seats are incumbents Linda Milhaven, Kathy Littlefield and David Smith, seasoned candidate Bill Crawford and newcomer Solange Whitehead. Each candidate expressed their opinions and expectations for the city \u2013 some opinions stronger than others.\nAt the heart of the 2018 Scottsdale elections is the debate over the potential development of a Desert Discovery Center on the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. After months of work and community support, the Protect Our Preserve petition garnered a total of 37,608 signatures qualifying it for the ballot as Proposition 420. If approved, Proposition 420 would revise the Scottsdale city charter to state that all construction and usage of earmarked conservation dollars within the McDowell Sonoran Preserve would require a public vote.\nKathy Littlefield and Solange Whitehead have not been shy to share their support for Proposition 420. They expressed their support early on in the campaign and have been vocal advocates to ensure that measure passes this November. During the forum, Bill Crawford re-announced his support for Proposition 420, despite what some have said.\nIn opposition, Milhaven stated that she cannot support the measure believing the existing ordinance is clear enough and already establishes protection of the preserve from commercial developments. Despite the hard criticism from the Protect Our Preserve community, she\u2019s remained firm on her stance and vision for the Preserve. As for David Smith, he still refused to give a straight answer on the issue. He continues to \u201ctoe the political line\u201d on the issue hoping not to offend parties on either side.\nThe other ballot measure facing Scottsdale voters will be an increase in local sales tax by .10 percent for 10 years in hopes of raising more than $10 million to help pay for the city\u2019s transportation needs. All five candidates support the measure, though their rationale and opinions differ. All agree that the city is in dire needs of the funds to help address some of its infrastructure and transportation needs, however, it is not an overall solution to the 118 identified infrastructure projects.\nTo learn more about the debate and candidate positions, click here to read the Scottsdale Independent\u2019s recap of the forum.\nScottsdale offers an abundancy of amenities from vibrant outdoor activities to a thriving downtown and Waterfront. This is part of what makes Scottsdale unique. This is because its residents and past councils have invested in its future and preserved its unique qualities. We benefit today because of their hard work and vision for the future. At the end of the day, it\u2019s up to the Scottsdale voters to decide who they want to represent them. So who will it be?",

        "raw_content": "Even at 42, Peete Believes That His Best Years Are Still Ahead\nApril 06, 1986|United Press International\nPONTE VEDRA, Fla. \u2014 Never you mind that Calvin Peete is 42, going on 43. The way he sees it, he's still just a youngster on the pro golf tour.\n\"Sure, I'm 42, but I feel a young 42,\" says Peete. \"I've been playing competitive golf for only about 13 years so the fire's still burning. I figure I've still got five or six good years left in my game.\"\nCalvin Peete has won so consistently the past four years, it's hard to realize that the man never even played golf until he was 23 years old and didn't join the PGA Tour until he was almost 32.\n\"I thought the game was silly,\" Peete recalls of his pre-golf years. \"Who wants to chase a little ball around under the hot sun.\"\nBut once he gave it a try, Peete was hooked.\n\"About the time I got started, I saw a tournament on television and learned Jack Nicklaus was making around $200,000 a year chasing that ball,\" says Peete. \"I figured I could be happy with one-third that amount, so I decided to give it a try.\"\nThe bucks didn't come all that quick. It took Peete three tries to qualify for the Tour, and the first three years after he did make it, he earned barely $20,000 a year--which didn't even pay expenses.\nBut he made a major breakthrough in 1979 when, at 36, he won his first Tour event, the Greater Milwaukee Open, and the money has flowed in since.\nPeete, who has picked up 11 of his 12 Tour victories in the past four years, has earned nearly $1.9 million as a touring pro, more than $230,000 of that so far this year, and he figures his best years are still ahead.\n\"When you get to the top, like Jack Nicklaus, where do you go?\" asked Peete. \"Now me, I'm still on the way up.\"\nAfter winning at Milwaukee in 1979, Peete went three years before winning again--in the 1982 Milwaukee Open. But he had three more victories that year and has won at least once each year since.\n\"I like to think that I can go out there and win 10, even 15 tournaments a year,\" said Peete. \"But that's only a dream, and not a realistic one. Nowadays, with so many good golfers out there, you've had yourself quite a year if you can win two or three.\n\"When this year started, my goal was to win two,\" said Peete. \"My goal now is to win three tournaments this year and if I am successful this week, I'll have to raise that again.\n\"I think it would be a great year for me to win three. And, why not? I've never played better than I have this year. Right now I'm playing better than I dared hope.\n\"I'm not the best golfer in the world right now. I'm just on a roll.\"\nPro golfers often are judged by the number of \"major\" championships they win. Jack Nicklaus has won 17 of the big four--the Masters, the U.S. and British Opens and the PGA. Calvin Peete has won none.\n\"My lack of winning any of the major championships has to do with my lack of experience,\" said Peete. \"Most of the courses where I have played in major championships, I have been playing for the first time.\n\"That's not true for the Masters (held annually at the Augusta National), but the Masters course isn't suited for my game although I feel I can win there if I have a hot hand that week.\n\"If I never win a major, it won't put a damper on what I feel has been a great golf career.\"\nPeete, who won last year's Tournament Players Championship by three shots with 14-under-par golf, has a different feeling about the TPC course than he does about Augusta with its wide open fairways and huge undulating greens.\n\"It's a shotmakers golf course,\" said Peete, who has hit more greens in regulation this year than any other golfer on the tour. \"You have to hit good shots to have a chance to score. It requires accurate iron shots and my advantage is I keep the ball in play.\"\nWhen he won last year's TPC, Peete said: \"I've accomplished a lot in this game, but this has to be the highlight. To win on this kind of golf course against the toughest field in golf is quite an accomplishment.\"\nPeete disagrees with those golfers who take a week off to celebrate after winning a tournament.\n\"I figure you should keep your momentum going,\" he said. \"In this game, you have to get it while you can. When you've got it going, you've got to try to keep it going.\"\nFor Peete's Sake, He Did It the Hard Way\nCalvin Peete Is Making Up for His Late Start",

        "title": "Team Uses Synthesizer For Videos - latimes",
        "raw_content": "Team Uses Synthesizer For Videos\nAugust 22, 1986|RICK VANDERKNYFF\nOne was raised in Southern California, the other in Omaha, Neb. But both grew up on rock 'n' roll, listening to the Beatles and bashing out their best Fab Four imitations in local garage bands.\nNow they work together on sound tracks for video productions, creating original scores ranging from the symphonic sweep of a full orchestra to a stripped-down, rap-inspired funk rhythm--all without leaving their studio at Yale Video in Anaheim.\nCalifornia-bred Richard Flauding is the composer, Nebraska native John Fischer the sound engineer. \"We're self-contained,\" Fischer says. \"Between the two of us, we do it all.\"\nThe tool that gives the duo its flexibility is a synthesizer that allows the user to record digitally on floppy disc any sound, musical or non-musical, and play it back on a keyboard at any pitch. With this technique, called \"sampling,\" changing sounds from a saxophone to a human scream, or from violins to breaking glass, is as simple as switching discs.\nFlauding and Fischer, both 32, estimate that 90% of their work is on Yale projects, which are primarily corporate and industrial videos. They also do independent work, including a recent sound track for a four-part safety series for youngsters called \"For Safety's Sake,\" starring TV actor Gary Coleman. And they don't work exclusively in video: The pair will soon begin arranging and producing an album for Will Teague, an ex-member of the New Christy Minstrels.\nFor an already-edited video production, Flauding will make up a cue sheet and compose the score on paper. \"I find that when I write at the keyboard, I tend to write within my ability as a player,\" the composer says. \"I'm not a monster keyboard player.\"\nHe then arranges the score on an Emulator II synthesizer, choosing the instrumentation he wants from a library of floppy discs. Digital sampling allows Flauding to experiment inexpensively with the instrumental sound of his compositions, something that is prohibitively costly with live musicians. \"You can't hire six French horn players and then let them go because you don't like the sound,\" Flauding explained.\nSometimes, Flauding is asked to compose a score for a project before it is produced. \"Video makers have been trained to build their projects around a piece of music,\" Flauding said. \"For me, as a composer, I appreciate working with a finished product.\"\nWhen the score is finished, Fischer mixes and records it on the audio track of the edited video. He is also responsible for editing and \"sweetening\" other parts of the track--eliminating unwanted noises and accenting desired sounds. With the help of sampling, he can also add entirely new effects.\nAs might be expected, digital sampling has become a sore point with many professional musicians, who claim they're being robbed of their jobs. Flauding and Fischer argue that most of their work is on relatively low-budget projects, whose producers would never consider a costly session with live musicians. For them, the main alternative to an electronic score is using existing music from an album.\nIn fact, the use of pre-recorded music is still a mainstay in the video industry, and many producers do their own sound engineering. \"There are not a lot of production studios in Orange County that have full-on audio-for-video production,\" Fischer said.\nWhen a willing producer and a sufficient budget have come together, Flauding has gotten the chance to compose for live musicians, including the London Symphony. \"It's exciting, providing the producer likes it,\" the Anaheim resident said. \"I'd like to do more of it.\"\nFlauding began thinking seriously of a music career in high school. Under the tutelage of jazz guitarist Barnie Kessel he thought of becoming a session guitar player. But, inspired by another teacher, composer-arranger Bryant McKernon, he slowly became interested in writing music.\n\"Before I knew it, I kind of had the bug for composing classical music,\" Flauding recalled, but the financial rewards were slow in coming. \"By the time I was 25 or 26, I realized I wasn't going to make a living writing (for) string quartets.\" So he gravitated to writing video scores and now would like to try his hand at scoring a feature film.\nFrom his garage band beginnings, Fischer went on to become a professional musician and also developed a talent for the technical end of the music business. \"It became kind of a double interest,\" Fischer said. He played in bands, wrote ad jingles, produced records and eventually fell into a video project, a promotional film on Boys Town, the Nebraska village for homeless boys.\nHe left the Midwest 1 1/2 years ago and settled in Cypress, becoming a sound engineer at Yale and beginning his work with Flauding. \"I like the original music. I like working with composers,\" Fischer said of their working relationship.\n\"I recognize him as a musician, as well as an engineer,\" Flauding, in turn, said of Fischer. Some engineers, he said, are \"rock 'n' rollers\" with little technical skill, while others are primarily technicians with little feel for the music. \"It's nice working with someone who's sympathetic to both.\"\nDeal Seen on Video Shoots",

        "title": "Are the New iMacs Made in the USA?",
        "raw_content": "Articles Computers Desktops Are the New iMacs Made in the USA?\nAre the New iMacs Made in the USA?\nA long time ago, iMacs were made in the USA. A bold sticker proclaimed \u201cAssembled in America.\u201d Throughout the past few years, Apple has found it more cost-effective to create iMacs in foreign lands. But, the iMac might be coming back to the USA \u2013 and bringing lots of new jobs with it.\nMade In America Once Again\nIf you know a bit about Apple, you might be wondering how the company will make any of its computers in the USA. After all, Apple shut down its last USA operating plant many years ago. Well, NBC is reporting that Apple will spend more than $100 million dollars working on a manufacturing setup for the new iMacs. Whether Apple will go it alone or partner with another company has yet to be determined, but the latter makes a lot more financial sense. Why is Apple bringing iMacs back to the United States? There are a number of reasons why this process makes a lot of sense.\nFor some time now, consumer electronics have been making their way back to USA manufacturing plants. Many companies have found that two things occur when manufacturing is on home turf. The first is that Americans like to purchase products that are made in the USA. The second is that a company like Apple can keep a closer watch on products that are rolled out on USA assembly lines. When a company outsources to another company in, say, China, this also means outsourcing quality control.\nAs past incidents have shown, allowing a foreign quality control manager to keep track of manufacturing just doesn\u2019t pan out \u2013 and makes a company like Apple look rather bad. Even though sources (reliable ones) assume that Apple will be manufacturing the new iMacs in the USA, Apple\u2019s CEO, Tim Cook, hasn\u2019t confirmed this bit of news yet. Cook has said that one of Apple\u2019s devices will be made in the USA, but whether that\u2019s the be the iMac or another device has yet to be seen.\nHelping the Economy Out\nRegardless of which device Apple is set to bring back to the states, one thing is for sure: Apple will be helping to create needed jobs this coming year. In many ways, manufacturing products \u2013 even one product out of many \u2013 is a win-win situation for both consumers, workers, and companies. It\u2019s also safe to assume that consumers will be far more like to purchase a product made in the USA (even if that product is priced on the high side) than to purchase a device or computer made elsewhere.\nWhat do you think about Apple\u2019s idea to bring manufacturing back? Is Apple making a good move? Or, is Apple being threatened by Google\u2019s recent news \u2013 Google is also bringing back manufacturing of some devices to the United States. Does it matter which company decided on USA manufacturing first, or is the really important thing here that both Google and Apple (and other companies) are finally realizing that manufacturing can be brought back to the USA with much success? Stay tuned for more details about Apple\u2019s latest home soil initiative.",

In an age of increasing regulatory legislation for energy conservation and waste management, consumer and civil society pressures, sustainability through green supply chains is not a fad but a new discipline for strategic competitiveness.\n\u201cGreen Supply Chains\u201d (GSC) refers to the way in which organizational innovations and policies in supply chain management may be considered in the context of the sustainable environment. GSC planning and management involves multiple objectives and tradeoffs including social, economic and environmental dimensions. Sustainability legislation, emergent consumer behavior and the complexity of global trade are altering design and management principles for supply chains. In this context, complex factors, such as minimization of carbon emission, treatment of reverse material and information flows, optimization of energy consumption, for example should be simultaneously considered over a product\u2019s life cycle design and management of its supply chains.\nOur objective in organizing GSC\u20192018 is to bring together scientists, managers, industrialists, policy-makers, and researchers to exchange ideas on GSC and provide innovative insights to resolve the problems that arise in the new context.

        "raw_content": "February 14, 2018 Stefano Bernardini Finance, Italian News 0\nBefore Christmas, the Italian-American businessman has repaid the losses of Neep holding, the company that owns 78% of the Giallorossi. On this occasion, he also made a payment on behalf of Neep\u2019s future capital increase.\nThis financial transaction has been necessary because the company has high management costs compared to revenues.\nAccording to the Italian outlet \u2018 Il Messaggero\u2019, on December 22, 2017, the ordinary meeting of Neep holding took place in Rome. Pallotta was connected in audio-conference. In that occasion, the lawyer and general director of Roma Mauro Baldissoni was also the chairman of the meeting. Firstly, he illustrated the separate financial statements highlighting a red of 110.4 million euro, positive equity of 230.2m euro (160.3m on June 30, 2016), an increase of 69.9m euro.\nTherefore, Pallotta made a free loan to get Neep back on track. The money can turn into a capital increase of the company and possibly later into a new recapitalization of the Roma football club. This is going to be the natural process in the case the club will not be able to sell one of its jewels by June 30, 2018.\nThe Neep group closed its financial accounts with a loss of 35.6 million euro. According to the separate financial statements of the holding company, the operating costs exceeded revenues. Administrative and general expenses approximately amounted to 169,000 euros for reimbursement of expenses, social security contributions, professional services, consultancy, miscellaneous expenses, and emoluments.\nNeep Roma Holding",

        "title": "Ohio Legacy Trusts: A New \u201cProtective\u201d Trust Law? \u2013 The Asset Protection News",
        "raw_content": "Volume XXI, Number 2 \u2013 FEBRUARY / MARCH 2013\nINTRODUCTION. Ohio has joined the growing list of states which have enacted asset protection trust legislation. Chapter 5816, Revised Code of Ohio, enacts the Ohio Legacy Trust Act (the \u201cAct\u201d), which, on and after March 27, 2013, permits the creation of self-settled spendthrift trusts called \u201cLegacy Trusts\u201d.\nREQUIREMENTS. A Legacy Trust must be evidenced by a written trust instrument which appoints a \u201cqualified trustee\u201d, states that it is governed by Ohio law as to its validity, construction and administration, states that it is irrevocable, and contains a spendthrift provision applicable to the interests of all beneficiaries, including the settlor. A qualified trustee is a person other than the settlor, who is an individual Ohio resident or a company authorized to conduct trust business in Ohio, who maintains or arranges for at least \u201csome\u201d trust property to be custodied in Ohio, and who maintains records of and files tax returns for, or otherwise materially participates in the administration of, the Legacy Trust.\nLOOPHOLES. The Act contains the usual state asset protection trust law exceptions for child or spousal support, alimony, or division/distribution of property to a spouse or former spouse pursuant to an agreement or court order.\nFRAUDULENT TRANSFERS. The Act contains an interesting, if not convoluted, fraudulent transfer section which purports to provide the exclusive remedy (except for pre-recorded liens) for a creditor seeking to \u201cundo\u201d transfers to the Legacy Trust. The complaining creditor must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the subject transfer was made with the specific intent to defraud the specific creditor bringing the action. Compare this with typical fraudulent transfer rules: Any creditor can assert that a transfer was made to defraud any creditor and prove it by the \u201cpreponderance of the evidence\u201d standard (a lower standard of proof). The Act\u2019s elevated level of proof and the \u201cspecific\u201d intent and creditor requirements would seem to make bringing a successful fraudulent transfer action a bit more difficult and available to a narrower group than would be the case under the state\u2019s \u201cstandard\u201d fraudulent transfer statute.\nLIMITATIONS. A claimant who was a creditor of the settlor before the transfer must bring the fraudulent transfer action within the later of two periods: 18 months after the transfer or 6 months after the transfer was, or reasonably could have been, discovered. The latter stated period only applies if the preexisting creditor files a non-fraudulent transfer suit or makes a written demand within 3 years of the transfer. This would appear to leave the statute of limitations for filing the fraudulent transfer claim somewhat open-ended. The limitations period for a subsequent creditor is clear: the claim is extinguished unless brought within 18 months after the transfer (Yes, subsequent creditors can get the Legacy Trust!). In determining the transfer date of property held in the Legacy Trust for purposes of applying the foregoing rules, a \u201cLIFO\u201d rule is applied: Money distributed out of the Legacy Trust is deemed to be sourced from funds most recently contributed to the trust (unless proven to the contrary beyond a reasonable doubt), thus enhancing the \u201caging\u201d process of money remaining in the trust (a clear and convincing rule applies for other fungible assets). We have always included such a LIFO provision in our asset protection trusts.\nFLIGHT PROVISION. A Flight provision is language in a trust instrument which \u201crelocates\u201d a trust to another jurisdiction under specified circumstances. Here\u2019s how this works in Ohio: The qualified (Ohio) trustee is automatically removed by the Act if the Legacy Trust or a qualified trustee is involved in any legal action in which the court declines to apply Ohio law. Under this circumstance, the removed qualified trustee can only convey trust property to the successor trustee, and has no other authority. If an offshore trustee was already serving as a co-trustee, then, upon the automatic removal of the qualified trustee, the trust will have been \u201cmoved\u201d offshore. Trust assets must also be relocated, however, andthat may present certain practical issues. Unless the trust instrument is carefully drafted to properly integrate with the statutory flight provision, it is unclear what, if any, protection will be afforded the trust assets.\nPROFESSIONALS. Finally, as has been the case in some other state asset protection statutes (See, e.g., A Review and Critique of the Asset Protection Aspects of the 2003 Utah Trust Law Amendments), the law protects professionals involved in establishing and administering a Legacy Trust by prohibiting the filing of a suit (relating to a transfer of property to the trust) against \u201cany trustee or advisor of a legacy trust or against any person involved in the counseling in connection with, or the drafting, preparation, execution, administration, or funding of, a legacy trust.\u201d The foregoing provision includes such professional services rendered with respect to entities owned by the Legacy Trust.\nCONCLUSION. The Act attempts to remediate the erosions of traditional trust protection resulting from public policy court decisions and statutes occurring over the past several hundred years. In summary, the protective efficacy of the Ohio statute remains to be seen; however, as is the case with any United States based protective planning, it will ultimately depend upon a United States court upholding the planning in the settlor\u2019s favor and the inapplicability of the full faith and credit clause of the United States Constitution.\nThis newsletter is not intended to provide legal or investment advice on the matters discussed herein, such advice should only be obtained from a qualified attorney.

        "raw_content": "Amidst the shifting political fault lines of the world today, one thing is clear: work is still the issue. It is not an overstatement to say that in the UK, and worldwide, we are experiencing nothing short of a crisis. For example, despite having record levels of employment (a fact that politicians regularly draw upon), real wages are at a historic low and \u2018precarious\u2019 work \u2013 defined by insecurity and uncertainty \u2013 continues to expand its share of the labour market. Perhaps even more distressing is the fact that the majority of those currently in poverty in the UK belong to working families; in this sense we can say that work is becoming increasingly useless for its ostensible purpose \u2013 that of providing a sufficient income for people to live comfortable lives. Coupled with this decline of the quality and sustainability of waged work, we\u2019ve witnessed what can only be described as punishments for those who exist outside of work. Drastic cuts in welfare provisions and disastrous, disciplinary assessments that attempt to adjudicate how \u2018fit to work\u2019 people with disabilities are constitute obvious symptoms of a society bent on the enforcement of work no matter the human cost. With these tendencies in mind, it is hard to hold either the mere fact of mass employment or the ideal of employment in high esteem.\nSet to exacerbate this situation is the next wave of automation technologies. A plethora of studies predict that radically disruptive technological innovations \u2013 from algorithmic management to driverless cars \u2013 will change the face of many industries at the national and global scales in the coming decades. These predictions vary and have historical precedents that warrant a healthy scepticism regarding their conclusions; technological change is dependent not just on the development of new instruments, but also upon cultural and political forces. What is not in question, however, is the remarkable increase in the technical capacity to replace many of the tasks normally carried out by human labour power as part of a range of jobs. The question, therefore, concerns what incentives exist for the introduction of these technologies, the precise conditions under which they would be introduced, their specific effects upon people\u2019s lives, and most importantly, who wields control over them.\nOur particular conjuncture thus forces us to reconsider what work actually is and what functions it performs for the population, for the economy and for our global context. Two basic questions emerge: is the current work-centered society beneficial for people and is a continuation of this work-centred society a viable political aim in the new automated world we are entering? It is at this point and in this context that Autonomy seeks to intervene. It is our belief that in order to face the new challenges that modernisation poses to our working lives, we cannot draw on traditional responses from Right or Left: the state of work today requires new thinking that seeks progressive, pragmatic and desirable solutions. Equally, we see the crisis of the job-based society as an opportunity for us to imagine a different, fairer and sustainable world and not the chance to return to an impossible \u2013 and in many ways undesirable \u2013 past. Revising our beliefs about the value of work allows us to imagine and to concretely picture better worlds wherein work has its particular place; this is progress.\nWe are a research centre aimed at rethinking work \u2013 a practice constituted by diagnosis, prognosis and proposal. Our core team is small but we are collaborating with researchers from across the globe to address the array of issues involved in our chosen problematic. Expect research papers, analyses of employment and recruitment processes, funding strategies for alternative income models, interpretations of corporate consultations on automation, a speculative blog and more. We are not the only ones on this trajectory: other think tanks, social movements and activist groups have joined the recent wave of voices questioning the virtues of a work-dominated society. The Basic Income Network (and its assorted affiliates), Plan C, Disabled People Against Cuts, Boycott Workfare, as well as NEF and IPPR \u2013 to name just a few \u2013 have successfully highlighted both the worst excesses of a society committed to labouring at all costs and the untapped potentials of a society organised around different principles. Autonomy settles into this ecology of institutions, eager to work with those already attempting to bring about change and keen to bring in a new wealth of informed perspectives.\nIn seeking to truly rethink work, we must expand what counts as research. We do not believe that knowledge is reducible to statistics or to mathematical models (as essential as these are). Indeed, we claim that a true grasp of our times requires political, economic, sociological, and cultural analyses. We must seek cutting-edge empirical and theoretical expertise from different disciplines \u2013 political economy, sociology, robotics and beyond \u2013 in order to construct critical tools, rigorous diagnoses and alternative models. Work is a contested term (for starters, does waged work even capture what we mean by the word?) and discussion must grasp the technological, cultural, environmental, economic and political conditions that constitute the practices of work if we are to achieve the rigor sufficient to our task.\nTo that end, Autonomy is a multi-disciplinary laboratory for new ideas and perspectives on work and a platform for innovation. It is time to revise our inherited beliefs and establish a new, realistic common sense about the position of work in individuals\u2019 lives and in our political economy as a whole. We began by asking four basic questions to leading researchers within the field \u2013 their responses will be published over the next four weeks. Alongside these, we provided some basic fact sheets that help summarise current research regarding some of the phenomena at the core of the crisis: precarity, gender, debt, wage stagnation and automation. These phenomena can be understood as our premises.\nIf you want to help change the dominant narrative concerning work in our society, please go to the Support Us page, and consider becoming a monthly supporter. We are a non-profit organisation and all raised funds will go towards paying staff to write and research on an increasingly full-time basis. On behalf of the Autonomy team, I\u2019d like to thank all of the contributors, supporters and research affiliates who have contributed to the project so far.",

        "title": "Testogen Review - Does Testogen Test Booster Really Work?",
        "raw_content": "TestoGen is a product that was specially designed to help those that are looking to achieve their muscle gain goals without having to put significant strain on their body. Many bodybuilders utilize anabolic steroids which can have significant side effects on the body. It was made and introduced as a better steroid alternative that people that are looking to build muscle can use safely. Below, we will be going over more information in this Testogen review.\nWhen it comes to understanding whether or not a product is right for you, the primary thing that you should be paying attention to is the ingredient profile. TestoGen is capable of boosting testosterone through its inclusion of two primary ingredients \u2013 D-Aspartic Acid and Fenugreek extract. Both of these ingredients are meant to effectively amplify the natural testosterone production throughout your body.\nD-aspartic acid specifically is a naturally occurring amino acid that you can find in everyday foods. Supplementation of it in higher doses is known to effectively raise free-testosterone levels in the body. Thus, it is a proven and natural way of boosting strength levels and even athletic performance.\nFenugreek extract is not known as a testosterone booster on its own. Instead, it is there to minimize the amount of DHT production throughout the body. DHT is a known estrogen compound which can reduce testosterone throughout the body. Thus, by limiting the production of a testosterone inhibitor, it is able to increase the levels of testosterone production in the body. At the same time, it even has powerful antioxidant properties which make it an effective anti-inflammatory which is going to allow the testosterone levels to rise and minimize inflammation that your body experiences through hard workout sessions.\nBecause TestoGen is not an anabolic steroid, it is much safer to consider than steroids. While you will still want to consult with a registered health professional, it is relatively safe for a normal healthy person.\nWhile the supplement itself is going to be very effective for its intended purpose, you are still going to need to put in the necessary work in the gym to experience its greatest benefits. Thus, if you are not currently dedicated to a specific muscle building program and you are not willing to get your diet in check, you are likely not going to experience the greatest potential benefits from using this supplement. At the same time, you also need to be sure that your sleep program is on schedule as well because having a lack of sleep can inhibit testosterone production.\nOverall, there are a lot of reasons why TestoGen is becoming increasingly popular in the marketplace. It is establishing itself as a very effective and viable alternative to using potentially harmful anabolic steroids. It can effectively and naturally boost testosterone levels in your body which is going to have a significant impact on your strength and muscle building results as long as you are putting the work in the gym and have all of your lifestyle changes in order.",

Wasn\u2019t he satisfied with the outcome of months and years of hard work? It seemed so puzzling. After all, \u201cTrouble\u201d is the album that really brought him to the forefront of the folk music scene.\nAs our first album ages, I\u2019m starting to grasp what Ray meant. While I will always love \u201cAmerican Folk\u201d, I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll spend a lot of time salivating over it. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I am SO proud of American Folk. We worked our rear ends off making it. It was almost a year in the making, and the finished product was well worth the wait. I love the songs \u2013 they are very representative of the emotions and feelings we were experiencing when we wrote them. The thing is, I really feel like we have moved on to \u201canother tier\u201d if you will. I wish that all of you could hear some of our new songs. Not only do I think they are musically more impressive, but I also think the writing has improved tremendously.\nWe have been writing so much since the release of American Folk that we already have enough for another album! I am SO excited to get in the studio and record these new ones. Without revealing to much, I think you will hear a MUCH fuller sound from the Trio. We have so many ideas and visions for how we want this next record to sound and feel. We want all of you to continue to be part of the process \u2013 look for many more videos and blog post from us in the future chronicling our 2nd full album.\nFor now, we will continue to push \u201cAmerican Folk\u201d. We\u2019ve heard great response from it so far. If you haven\u2019t got a chance to pick up your copy yet, you can do so right here on our website! If you want to hear some of these new songs we\u2019ve been working on\u2026come to our shows! We are always adding new songs to our set lists as \u201ctrial runs\u201d for the audience. I\u2019m excited about the future of where our sound is heading, and I think you all will be too. The journey is a long one, but man has it been fun so far.\nHappy Thanksgiving everyone! We are so thankful for your love and support! God bless!",

        "raw_content": "How Individuals and Businesses Can Benefit from Confidentiality Agreements\nby Editor | Jun 11, 2013 | Biz Buzz, Business Solutions | 0 comments\nA Confidentiality Agreement is one of the most important legal documents that two parties can enter into. This type of document is necessary to protect both parties whenever one of the parties plans on disclosing any sort of propriety secret or information to the other party. A Confidentiality Agreement, also called a Non-Disclosure Agreement, serves as a legally binding contract between two parties to keep specific information disclosed by one party to the other on a confidential basis that is not disclosed to any other third parties.\nA Confidentiality Agreement should always be drawn up before one party discloses any information, process, idea, new product or service to another party that is proprietary and not for public disclosure or use by the second party, without fair compensation to the owner of the proprietary information. There are numerous benefits associated with planning ahead and drawing up a Confidentiality Agreement before any information is traded or shared between two parties.\nA Confidentiality Agreement protects the party providing secret or proprietary information from the risk that a third party will gain access to it or use it without their knowledge. Such an agreement provides the parties involved with the ability to sue for breach of contract if the secrets shared are divulged to third parties so that monetary damages may be sought.\nIndividuals or businesses also use a Confidentiality Agreement in order to protect their patent rights from being stolen. Such an agreement benefits both parties involved because it clearly states in writing any conditions or times when secrets or proprietary information disclosed can be shared or disclosed with others. This legal document also protects the party disclosing the information from having the other party involved take the information and use it for a purpose not approved by the first party.\nWhat You Need to Know About Non-Disclosure Agreements\nLegalVision.com.au has long been a trusted source for well-drafted agreements. Depending upon the complexity of the information to be shared and the level of confidentiality involved, a standard, basic Confidentiality Agreement template may be used or may be altered to include certain exemptions or provisions desired by either one or both parties entering into the agreement. Even before initial discussions begin between two parties in any business matter, contact LegalVision for guidance regarding use of a Confidentiality Agreement template that can prevent legal troubles down the road.\nLearn more: Do You Know What Is a Distribution Agreement?",

Now, the scaffold was removed and the golden Statue of Victoria again shines in all her glory in the middle of the Great Star.\nDuring the refurbishment works, about 1200 gram of gold leaf were put on the bronze sculpture of Victoria, which is 8.3 meters high and weighs about 35 tons. If you want to pay her a visit, you have to climb 285 steps upstairs to reach the observation platform on top of the monument. There is no elevator but your effort will be rewarded with a great view on Berlin Tiergarten.\nBerlin Victory Column under construction\nDue to restoration works, Berlin\u2019s Victor Column (or Siegess\u00e4ule) is completely scaffolded at the moment and will remain like this until Spring 2011. Only the golden statue of Victoria or Goldelse, like a Berliner would say, is visible.\nThe Victory Column stands at 61.5m high and provides excellent views of Berlin from the center of Tiergarten. The statue of the victory goddess Viktoria that stands on top of the Victory Column was created by F Drake and weighs an impressive 35 tonnes.\nChristopher Street Day in Berlin 2009\nLast weekend, the Christopher Street Day has taken place in Berlin. The CSD is an annual festival held in various cities across Europe, comparable to the Gay Pride or Pride Parade in America. Over five thousand people demonstrated against the discrimination of gay and lesbian fellow citizen.

        "raw_content": "Spanish wind welcomes power sector reforms\nLong-suffering sector says it finally has a minister who understands its policy requirements\nSpain\u2019s long-suffering wind industry has given a big welcome to major government reforms of the electricity sector, designed to encourage the wider deployment of renewables, while rolling back many of the restrictions imposed by the previous administration.\nTeresa Ribera, Spain\u2019s minister for ecological transition, this week announced sweeping electricity market reforms, including measures to change outdated price-setting mechanisms because of their negative impact on both investors and consumers.\nHeikki Willstedt Mesa, director of energy policy at the Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE), told Recharge at the Global Wind Summit that it welcomed the reforms because finally there is a minister in Spain who understands that the right policies need to be in place to achieve stated objectives.\n\u201cIn this case, the objectives are quite ambitious, because Ribera has said at least 32% of energy has to come from renewables in Spain by 2030. But they might go for an even higher target, and together with other associations we are discussing what that might be.\u201d\nRibera said with a \u20ac100bn ($117m) investment in renewable generation and increased storage capacity, Spain could obtain a saving of around \u20ac400bn on consumers\u2019 electricity bills and meet its 32% EU renewables target by 2030.\nShe said it was important for Spain to reverse the damage to investor confidence created by the unilateral changes to renewables tariffs made in 2013 by the previous government of prime minister Mariano Rajoy.\nWillstedt Mesa said the government wants to promote the use of long-term corporate power-purchase agreements (PPAs) in order to shift a large percentage of energy out of the wholesale electricity market.\n\u201cThe situation in Spain is very conducive to the introduction of these types of contracts as wholesale prices have gone up, so big industrial players are looking at these PPAs so they can hedge against an increase in the cost of electricity.\u201d\nThe AEE has welcomed government plans to encourage the repowering of older wind farms and for developers to be granted time extensions for projects held up by bureaucratic obstacles.\n\u201cMost of the installations from recent renewables auctions held in 2016 and 2017 will be built next year, but their permits were due to expire before they could be built \u2014 so it was very important these permits were extended for a couple of years.\n\u201cRibera plans to scrap a 7% tax on electricity production from all types of technologies, introduced by the previous administration. This tax is going to be suspended next week.\n\u201cShe has also announced plans to remove the barriers to self-generation in Spain \u2014 by scrapping the so-called solar tax \u2014 also introduced by the previous administration.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "White houses are common. Black cars are common. Sunshine in July is common.\nOn the other hand, pink houses and purple cars are uncommon. A monsoon in July, at least in my neck of the woods, is unheard of.\nT-shirts and blue jeans we see everyday and easily go unnoticed, but tuxedos catch our eye. We tend to remember things that are uncommon, but the common things we really don't give a second thought to.\nWe remember driving by a pink house or meeting a purple car because they are uncommon, but we probably make no memory of the 20 white houses we pass in just a few miles or the 5 taupe minivans we meet on a short stretch of the interstate.\nTemptation is common. It presents itself in an array of situations and\ncircumstances and is often so common, that it doesn't capture our attention. We\ntake notice of things that are uncommon, but the common things make no mark on\nour minds.\nNo temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man.\nThere is no temptation placed before us that is uncommon. There is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiates 1:9). Whatever you face, however difficult it may seem, it is common. It is not new. You are not the only one who has experienced it. Whatever your struggle, someone else has experienced the same one.\nBut our response to temptation doesn't have to be common, it can be UNCOMMON. It can be different for you.\nGod is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also.\nHow can we be uncommon?\n1- Take notice of the common. We naturally remember the uncommon things. If you are tempted by something that is not typical for you, you will recognize it as a temptation right away, but that concept is not so true with the common things. Watch out for the spiritual white houses and taupe minivans and the effect they have on you spiritually. They're everywhere. Watch for the areas of your life that are repeat areas of sin. Those are the common temptations. It could be words we say, thoughts we have, attitudes we portray- just a few of my common ones:). They are typically everyday frustrations where we fall short of God's standard, the things that we think we will never get right.\n2- Look for the way of escape. I used to think this was hard. I used to think I had to analyze the situation I was in and come up with a way to escape myself. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says he provides the way of escape. My friends this one is easy. It's the same escape route.\nWhat did Jesus say in John 14:6?\nDo you see why it's the same every single time? Because He is the way. HE IS THE ESCAPE ROUTE. He is the same every single time. No matter what temptation we face, He is the answer to it. We don't have to be spiritual giants to avoid temptation, if we don't know what to do, He is the answer. Once I notice the temptation, I can call on Him and say, \"Jesus, this trips me up every time and I can't handle this, but You can.\" The temptation suddenly isn't as appealing as it was just seconds before. Trust me friends, this works. I have tried it. The battle is won when we call on His name.\n....In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world. John 16:33\nIt is uncommon, my friends, to take the escape route. It really is a less traveled road, but it leads us to a much better place.\nBe Uncommon. Take the Escape Route.\nPart 2 of this verse next time. Until then, be blessed!",

Maybe you enjoyed the movie Armageddon and your destructive imagination could use a good visual.\n*****Since this seems to be confusing people-- this isn't an actual event. You watch the shower on your own, I'm just trying to inform you. You can watch it wherever you are, not just in College Park. Just open your eyes and look up.*****\n*Quote regarding the shower referring to *August 12th*, the best time to view the shower: \"The Perseid meteor shower should be at its peak late tonight (August 11th), and this year there\u2019s no moonlight to interfere. The best time to watch is from 11 p.m. (eastern time) tonight (the 11th of August) until dawn (on the 12th of August). Dress warmly and find a dark spot with an open view of the sky. Lie back in a sleeping bag (good mosquito armor), let your eyes adapt to the dark, and gaze up into the stars. The best direction to watch is wherever your sky is darkest. You may see a meteor once a minute on average, fewer if your sky is light-polluted. The shower is also active for several days before and after its peak.\"\nThe meteor shower can be viewed anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere and it happens around the same time every year.\nIf you want to see the meteors, go somewhere away from city lights (if possible). Bring a sleeping bag or lawn chair, kick back and watch the skies. The best time to see the meteors is the night of the 11th of August to the morning of the 12th-- between 2 a.m. to dawn (eastern time) on August 12th are prime viewing times. The meteors will be visible for a few days before and after that, so keep an eye out.\n***Bonnie Tyler-\u0422\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0442 \u043f\u0435\u0441\u043d\u0438 Total Eclipse Of The Heart***\n\u041e\u0431 \u0410\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0442\u0430\u0445.\t\u0427\u0442\u043e \u043d\u0438 \u0434\u0435\u0432\u0443\u0448\u043a\u0430, \u0442\u043e \u0444\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0430\u0441\u0442\u0438\u043a\u0430!",

        "raw_content": "Exhibit Schizophrenic Consumers: Consumers are complicated and unpredictable. (Painting courtesy of Sangeeta Charan, Singaporean artist).\nAn ordinary consumer can be extraordinarily unpredictable. She is a daughter, a wife, a mother and a career woman all rolled in one. Not only is she made up of a number of different people, she has different moods; and her needs and preferences are shaped by who she is and what mood she is in at the moment she is considering a purchase.\nThis unpredictability was highlighted some years back in a Nielsen report. While analysing consumer trends across the globe, the report described consumers as schizophrenic. Often the same consumer, depending on her state of mind, or on what is happening in her life at that moment, is buying products that one would place in diametrically opposite segments:\n\u201cI usually eat healthy but it has been a hard week and I want to treat myself.\u201d\n\u201cIf I\u2019m just cooking for myself, I go for shortcuts or buy something ready to cook... but when I have friends over, I cook from scratch to make it special.\u201d\n\u201cI try to eat fresh produce, but I also buy frozen vegetables for when I don\u2019t have time for the store.\u201d\nHealth versus indulgence, value versus premium, fresh versus frozen, large versus small portion, do-it-yourself versus convenience, organic versus local \u2014 these conflicting influences reflected in the market trends seen across the globe, highlight the importance of studying consumers in the context in which their needs arise.\nMarket segmentation is typically defined as the process of partitioning a market into groups of consumers with distinct needs and preferences. For many categories it might be better to describe it as the process of partitioning a market into groups of consumers\u2019 need-states, reflecting distinct needs, preferences and circumstances. The same consumer often falls into multiple segments, her preferences varying according to her need-states.\nThis chapter imparts an understanding of the meaningful criteria used to segment markets, the analytic methods employed to carve segments, and the applications of market segmentation.\nThe chapter is devoted mainly to the two fundamental approaches to segmentation:\nand the process of segmentation analysis.\nIt introduces the concept of need\u2013states, and how they impact on the choices consumers make. And it describes the simple decision rules or mental heuristics that consumers rely on for taking low budget purchasing decisions. It also outlines the factors for selecting the segments to target.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Channels / Baseball / MJBL Event Is Moving To North Carolina\nMJBL Event Is Moving To North Carolina\nBy Tom Keller\nGREENSBORO \u2014 \u201cLook in your mother\u2019s eyes when she\u2019s trying to figure out how to pay rent, and tell her you want to buy a $130 pair of cleats,\u201d a baseball coach once told me. \u201cSon, we can\u2019t eat it.\u201d\nThis is the state of America\u2019s pastime, an expensive sport whose price tag is growing each inning and keeping more disadvantaged youth out of the lineup.\nGreensboro will soon be the epicenter of an effort to change that. The city will host the annual Inner City Baseball Classic, a national tournament that brought in more than 1,000 players, coaches and scouts this year.\n\u201cWe do feel this week that we\u2019re tipping off something big,\u201d said Ken Free, the former MEAC commissioner who serves on the board for the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department and the Metropolitan Junior Baseball League. \u201cIt\u2019s been rewarding.\u201d\nWilliam Forrester is executive director of the MJBL, a 42-year-old nonprofit that promotes baseball to inner-city kids. The group\u2019s signature event is the Inner City Baseball Classic, which features a symposium on minority issues in the sport.\nDerrick Johnson is head baseball coach at Smith High. He helped three local teams attend for the first time this year in Columbia, S.C. Two of them won the national championship in their age bracket.\nJohnson wanted more. He wanted to move the tournament to Greensboro, and he wanted it bad. He told Forrester as much at every turn. They met each night of the tournament, Johnson\u2019s sales pitch stretching two, three, four hours into the morning.\nWhen bids came from five other cities, including Atlanta, Johnson called Forrester to remind him of the sporting events Greensboro has run successfully. The ACC basketball tournaments. The Palomino World Series. The Wyndham Championship.\n\u201cThat\u2019s y\u2019all\u2019s golf tournament?\u201d asked Forrester, watching it on TV at that moment. \u201cMan.\u201d\n\u201cIf you really want this thing to grow and become the tournament you envisioned,\u201d Johnson told Forrester, \u201cyou need to bring it to Greensboro.\u201d\nThe tournament, which will span five days in August, will feature games at Stoner-White Stadium, Barber Park, Carolyn Allen Community Park and War Memorial Stadium. And the economic impact of the event could be significant.\n\u201cAny time you bring visitors to the city, other things spin off that,\u201d said Marc Bush, president of the Greensboro Sports Commission.\nThere are some who don\u2019t understand the mission of the event. After we ran a story in late July about the Greensboro teams going to play in Columbia, I got more than one agitated voicemail \u2014 all anonymous \u2014 wondering if we\u2019d have given the same coverage to a White World Series.\nThat attitude misses the point. The economic realities of the game are unavoidable. AAU and travel ball are the destination for high-end players, and they carry thousand-dollar price tags that squeeze out the poor.\nIn this country, that usually means the non-white. And if those kids don\u2019t have a place to play, they\u2019re more likely to lose interest in the sport and start considering more dangerous alternatives.\nThat\u2019s why Johnson, now the MJBL commissioner for the state, doesn\u2019t dream of this tournament as a breeding ground for pros. He just wants a field of equality, a place where kids who want to play the game can do so without putting their families in debt.\n\u201cYou can the blame the white man. You can cry over spilt milk. Not me,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cYou can\u2019t wait on somebody to hand you something.\u201d",

Zenele lost her right arm and sustained injuries on her left hand. Five days later, they said their vows in a hospital chapel as she recovered.\nFox described the terrifying experience. \u201cI was shouting, trying to save her. She was not complaining of pain when we managed to pull her out of the water, maybe because of the shock. We were hoping the doctors would save her arm but that was not to be.\u201d\nHe continued, \u201cI proposed in February. We are hoping to settle in the U.K. so we are sorting out her visa and then we will think of the honeymoon.\u201d\nZenele was discharged from the hospital on Monday.\nZanele Ndlovu\nPrevious articleMicrosoft Launches $25M Program to Use AI for Disabilities\nNext articleRoad Signs for New U.S. Embassy Go Up in Jerusalem",

        "raw_content": "Last year, we suggested five romantic films to enjoy on Valentine's Day. Naturally, that did not exhaust the number of fine films available to us, so this year we present you with five more classics, to be enjoyed in a comfortable loveseat with your loved one, lighted candles and a bottle of wine at your side. If you really want to go all-out, try the Madison Refreshment Console sofa, which will turn your seat into a romantic mini-bar with space to chill your drinks--and don't forget the wine glass caddy!\n1. IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934): The Academy Award winner for best picture in 1934, this Frank Capra masterpiece holds up surprisingly well to modern audiences some eighty years on. What's a perfect movie date night without the legendary stars of old? Claudette Colbert stars as the spoiled heiress who runs away from an arranged marriage, only to bump into Clark Gable, who portrays a hapless newspaper reporter. The film set the pace for all future romantic comedies, as the two stars cross tempers before finally falling for each other. The black and white charm of this timeless classic has the power to effortlessly transport you to a simpler era; if the classic hitchhike scene doesn't get you, nothing will!\n2. JULES AND JIM (1962): There had to be at least one French film on this list, and Francois Truffaut's powerful meditation on love and friendship remains a peak effort of the French New Wave. This existential drama follows the lives of two men who fall for the same free spirited woman, played brilliantly by Jeanne Moreau. She ends up falling in love with both, but each relationship is doomed. In spite of its bleak premise, the cinematography is astonishing, as it revels in a soft-focus beauty and love of geometric form. This sumptuous, passionate film will be sure to inspire those looking to forge a deep romantic bond.\n3. ANNIE HALL (1977): The template for all modern-day romantic comedy was kickstarted by legendary comedian Woody Allen, who moved from the slapstick farce of gems like Bananas and Sleeper to this sophisticated portrait of a New York City couple as they fall in love, break up, get back together, and then slowly drift apart once more. The story is told in vivid flashbacks that end up touching on all aspects of life, while remaining hilarious throughout. The deft blend of comedy with more intelligent themes has impressed audiences for nearly four decades, with the film appearing on many all-time best lists.\n4. WHEN HARRY MET SALLY (1989): What at first seemed like a somewhat fluffy takeoff on Annie Hall soon developed a life and following of its own, and is now seen as a classic in its own right. There is, of course, the now famous restaurant orgasm scene, which boasts one of the greatest comedic performances of the last thirty years. Even better, the film as a whole seems to please both sexes, so it's an almost surefire bet, even on repeated viewings. You may have seen the film before, but in the context of your decked-out home theater, it will feel brand-new once again: trust us, by the film's end, you'll want what Meg Ryan is having.\n5. GROUNDHOG DAY (1993): This film, which received mildly favorable reviews on initial release, has grown in stature to be hailed as a contemporary masterpiece. That's because it is built layer upon layer, and these layers are gradually unfolded on repeat viewings. Its feel-good message is not gratuitous or contrived, in spite of the fantasy storyline--somehow, when the film is over, you have grown in wisdom received. And Groundhog Day does all of this while keeping its tone deceptively light and charming, harkening back to the sweetness of an old Hollywood classic like It Happened One Night. In the end, it does what the best romantic comedies are supposed to do--use laughter as the best means to romance.",

        "title": "Dark Buzz: Blueprint for quantum computer published",
        "raw_content": "Phys.org reports on a new published paper:\nFirst ever blueprint unveiled to construct a large scale quantum computer\nProf Winfried Hensinger (2), head of Ion Quantum Technology Group (3) at the University of Sussex, who has been leading this research, said: \"For many years, people said that it was completely impossible to construct an actual quantum computer. With our work we have not only shown that it can be done but now we are delivering a nuts and bolts construction plan to build an actual large-scale machine.\"\nI haven't read the paper, so I will hold back criticism for now.\nAt least he concedes that many ppl (besides me) have argued that quantum computers are impossible. Some in the field pretend that they are a consequence of quantum mechanics that everyone accepts.\nAnd he admits that no one has built a quantum computer yet. He just has a detailed plan to build one. Good luck with that. I still say that he will not succeed.\nAs a next step, the team will construct a prototype quantum computer, based on this design, at the University, and say it could be operational within two years.\n'It is the Holy Grail of science, really, to build a quantum computer,' Hensinger told The independent.\n'Life will change completely. We will be able to do certain things we could never even dream of before.'\nOnce built, researchers say the computer's capabilities mean it 'would have the potential to answer many questions in science; create new, lifesaving medicines; solve the most mind-boggling scientific problems; unravel the yet unknown mysteries of the furthest reaches of deepest space; and solve some problems that an ordinary computer would take billions of years to compute.'\nThis is like a smallpox researcher who is all excited about a new genetically engineered strain of a disease that could soon be unleashed. Exciting for the researcher, and changing life for the worse. The utility of a quantum computer is almost entirely malevolent.\nUpdate: A reader asks:\nwhy would anyone put their career on the line for a project that will ruin them if it turns out to be a scam?\nI see a couple of possibilities. One is that he is under increasing pressure from funding agencies. Another is that it is an attempt to get new funding for a bigger project.\nMaybe he is a true believer, and wants a piece of the Nobel Prize that goes to the first person to demonstrate quantum supremacy.\nAnd maybe failure will not ruin him anyway. Prominent recent physics failures include supersymmetry, proton decay, string theory, and inflation, but I have not heard of any careers being ruining over these.\nI just got my paper http://vixra.org/abs/1607.0388 published here: http://physicsessays.org/browse-journal-2/product/1544-8-craig-alan-feinstein-why-do-we-live-in-a-quantum-world.html\nIt explains why large-scale QC must fail.\nCFT February 3, 2017 at 7:49 AM\nI don't think this requires an understanding of quantum mechanics as much as human nature.\nUnless I'm missing the obvious, when you gin up tentative support to build something...people expect you to build it. If you can't, support is withdrawn. With the entire Quantum computing mania, I would think when the 'results' nowhere near approach the 'claims', you will basically be left with the remains of a 21st century cold fusion Kabuki act. I don't think the people dumping money into this enterprise want to buy something that doesn't perform.\nThis begs the question, why would anyone put their career on the line for a project that will ruin them if it turns out to be a scam?",

        "title": "Fiction University: Five Ways to Jump Start a Stalled Story",
        "raw_content": "Five Ways to Jump Start a Stalled Story\nBy Eleri Stone, @EleriStone\nHitting the writing wall is never fun, but it's not the end of the world or the end of your story. Fantasy and paranormal author Eleri Stone is here today to share a few tips on how to bust past that wall and get your story going again.\nEleri was born and raised in New Jersey. She graduated from the University of Iowa, married her college sweetheart, and settled in the Midwest where she still lives with her husband and their three children. A lifelong fan of fantasy, she started reading romance as an adult and was instantly captivated by the strong female protagonists and character-driven storylines. All of her stories have some element of speculative fiction and they all end with a happy-ever-after.\nTake it away Eleri...\nI used to be a serial story starter. I would write the first five chapters or so, lose steam, maybe set the manuscript aside for a while, and then eventually toss it so I could move on to the next shiny idea. It wasn\u2019t that these stories were irredeemably flawed or anything, it was just that somewhere along the way I would lose interest in finishing them. It took me a long time to figure out where I was going wrong, so today I thought I\u2019d share a few tips on how to jump start a story that\u2019s stalled out on you.\nAre your characters too passive?\nFor me, the number one thing that will stall out a story is when the main character becomes passive to the plot. In the beginning, that\u2019s not a problem. You have a great idea that so captured your imagination you decided to sit down and write a story about it in the first place. You\u2019re figuring out what makes your characters tick and everything is fresh and exciting. Then, the story starts moving forward and everything falls into place like tumbling dominoes.\nThe problem is you can only stare at falling dominoes for so long before you get bored, and if your characters are only reacting to the events set in motion in the early chapters, then it\u2019s really easy for a story to lose steam. How to fix it?\nAfter you\u2019ve set everything up, it\u2019s important for your main character to make a decision or take action in a way that both complicates the plot and moves it forward. Bonus points if it\u2019s a decision that you don\u2019t agree with! Those are more interesting to work through as a writer and that means it\u2019s more interesting for your reader too. This decision doesn\u2019t necessarily have to relate to the main conflict. It can be along the way of introducing a subplot\u2014a relationship risk, a lie told, a secret withheld. You do need to address the consequences later in the story.\nAnother problem you might run into is that a secondary character or subplot will start to take over the story. Pat yourself on the back that you\u2019ve created such a well-developed character or twisty little side story and then get back on track. Sometimes it\u2019s helpful to write through the main story and just leave a note within the manuscript about how you\u2019d like the subplot to progress. Then, you can come back and write those scenes later. I know a lot of people cringe at the idea of writing a scene out of order but sometimes by doing that you can prevent your main story from losing momentum.\nRemember the stakes\nIf you\u2019re starting to get bogged down, try refocusing your attention on exactly what\u2019s at stake for your characters\u2014what do they want to accomplish, what do they fear the most, what\u2019s this story really all about? Refocusing attention on those things will help to build tension and keep your story on track at the same time. Speaking of staying on track\u2026\nLet\u2019s be honest, panster to pantser, sometimes we wander around in the story because we\u2019re just not sure about where we\u2019re going and we\u2019re waiting for inspiration to strike.\nI used to hate outlines but as time goes on I\u2019m beginning to appreciate their beauty\u2026or at least their usefulness. You don\u2019t have to write a full outline or even stick to it if you come up with a better idea. But if you\u2019re stuck, it can help to brainstorm several scenes ahead so you have a better idea of where you\u2019re going.\nYou could also a break for a few days and then do a read through to take a fresh run at it. This was always dangerous for me (see above with the re-starting of new stories) but sometimes it\u2019s necessary to take a big step back just to clear your head.\nThe whole \u2018butt in chair, fingers on keyboard\u2019 thing. Sometimes the only way to push through a rocky patch in a story is simply to push through it. After all, we are talking about rough draft here. Don\u2019t put so much pressure on yourself. At this point, everything can still be changed. You might not even know what the story really needs at that point until you can look at it as a whole and figure out what\u2019s missing. So be gentle with yourself, keep writing, have fun and don\u2019t give up!\nAbout Reaper's Touch\nAbby is a Ranger, part of an elite group who defend the border against Reapers\u2014humans infected with a parasite that turns them into mindless cannibals. Rangers are immune to Reaper infection, and as one of the only female Rangers, Abby is expected to settle down and breed more Rangers\u2014a fate she\u2019s keen to avoid. When she\u2019s ambushed on the plains, she\u2019s ready to go out with guns blazing\u2014until a mysterious, handsome cowboy rides to her rescue.\nJake has his own motives for helping Abby, beyond aiding a damsel in distress. He\u2019s a Reaper, and while he\u2019s learned to wrest control of his mind from the parasite, the effects won\u2019t last without a permanent cure. And he needs Abby to get it.\nAbby and Jake are natural enemies and unlikely partners. But when their search reveals a conspiracy between Reapers and the rich industrialists who own the mountain cities, they must work together to find the cure\u2014or lose the border, and each other, forever.\nAmazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | iTunes | All Romance | Carina Press | Audible\nLabels: how they do it, stalled stories, writer's block\n\"Brainstorm a few scenes ahead.\"\nOhh.

It's so easy to create a character and throw them in at the deep end, but until they make that conscious decision to want something, or achieve something, they're just being carried along and that's when it get's tough to write (and boring:)\nAgreed. And if they never take that initiative, it's easy to walk away from the story both for the reader and the writer.\nThese are great ideas. I have to admit, sometimes all the problems I throw at my characters do end up boring me, so it's nice to hear about 5 solutions!!",

Listen, download, and subscribe to stay informed on the latest and best news in justice reform.\nIn honor of Incarceration Generation's first anniversary, we will be interviewing the authors who made this compilation possible, including researchers, advocates, community members, and other individuals in the justice field.\nIn the second installment of our Incarceration Generation series, JPI had the pleasure of speaking with Tim Murray, Director Emeritus of the Pretrial Justice Institute, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, whose mission is \"to advance safe, fair, and effective juvenile and adult pretrial justice practices and policies.\" During our conversation, Murray touched on the bail system, the private bonding industry, and pretrial services and how these components of our justice system affect detainees, their families, and the broader public.\n\"We have a nation of jails and prisons full of people who, from the very start of their case, are disadvantaged and treated differently, not because they are dangerous... but rather because of their inability to raise cash,\" he writes in Incarceration Generation. \"Pretrial release decisions must be based upon the principles of fairness, effectiveness and community safety without concern for the dollars the accused can raise or for an industry that depends upon crime for its very existence.\"\nMurray raises these concerns in his discussion with JPI, highlighting the detriments of cash-based pretrial detention; the burdensome impact on disadvantaged clients and communities; the hefty financial and public safety costs borne by the public; the historical origins of the bail system and private bonding industry; the myths and fallacies associated with this facet of our justice system; and the immense potential for positive reforms, including the integration of risk assessment and greater use of pretrial services.\nAfter tuning in, why not read Murray's chapter from Incarceration Generation for yourself? For a limited time, you can read it for free on Scribd. If you'd like to own a copy of Incarceration Generation, make your contribution to JPI here.\nTony is JPI's Digital Media Associate.",

        "title": "Inside the Mind of an iPad Hacker: Helpful or Hurtful? \u2013 Private WiFi",
        "raw_content": "Inside the Mind of an iPad Hacker: Helpful or Hurtful?\nTwo men, part of a hacker group known as Goatse Security, have been accused of breaking into servers run by AT&T in order to steal the email addresses of more than 120,000 iPad customers.\nPossible victims of the hacking include New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, news anchor Diane Sawyer, movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.\nWhat everyone can agree on is that the two men exposed a major privacy flaw in Apple\u2019s iPad.\nAT&T, the company that provides cellular data for iPads, quickly resolved the vulnerability that led to the breach.\nWhat is not so easy to agree on is whether what the men did was legitimate \u2013 or criminal. Prosecutors allege it was criminal and have charged the iPad hackers with two crimes.\nOne of the accused pleaded guilty June 23 to one count of conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to computers and one count of identity theft; he is scheduled to be sentenced September 28.\nMeanwhile, the other accused hacker was indicted last week by a New Jersey grand jury over the same charges. In this video interview from last year, he said \u201ctruth triumphs in the end\u201d and added that \u201cthe things I say have offended people, but hey, that\u2019s America, that\u2019s the marketplace of ideas.\u201d\nSo what was their motivation? What was going through their minds? In a publicly posted letter to \u201cclear the air\u201d last year, the hacking group insisted that their intentions were well-intended:\n\u201cWe love America and the idea of the Russians or Chinese being able to subvert American infrastructure is a nightmare. We understand that good deeds many times go punished, and AT&T is trying to crucify us over this. The fact remains that there was not a hint of maliciousness in our disclosure. We disclosed only to a single journalist and destroyed the data afterward. We did the right thing, and I will stand by the actions of my team and protect the finder of this bug no matter what the cost.\u201d\nWhen the hackers initially disclosed their findings, they said they did it as a service to the United States:\n\u201cPeople in critical positions have a right to completely understand the scope of vulnerability immediately. Not days or weeks or months after potential intrusion.\u201d\nThe New York Times even noted that the blame could be \u201cleveled at both sides\u201d since the men claimed all data was gathered from a public Web server with no password, accessible by anyone on the Internet.\nWhile the hacking duo clearly went about this with a questionable strategy, they seem to be saying exactly what more legitimate tech outlets are warning. For example, a newly released Javelin Strategy & Research report suggests that fraud is becoming increasingly sophisticated, and with new technologies come new security challenges.\nSo were they simply alerting people to gaping privacy holes, or were they criminals who need to spend years behind bars?\nTags: data protectionHacking Threatsonline privacypasswordsWiFi Trends",

        "title": "Mock Newbery Results! \u2014 Heavy Medal",
        "raw_content": "Mock Newbery Results!\n20 people (19 voters) gathered together yesterday afternoon at the Rockridge branch of the Oakland Public Library to discuss our shortlist with the following results.\nNEWBERY HONORS\nDuring the discussion, I thought BOMB and SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS emerged as the most likely contenders and the first ballot reflected this.\nBENEATH A METH MOON . . . 1 (1st) + 1 (2nd) + 1 (3rd) = 9 points\nBOMB . . . 8 (1st) + 7 (2nd) + 1 (3rd) = 55 points\nLIAR & SPY . . . 2 (1st) + 3 (2nd) + 6 (3rd) = 29 points\nMOONBIRD . . . 1 (2nd) + 3 (3rd) = 9 points\nNO CRYSTAL STAIR . . . 1 (1st) + 2 (2nd) + 2 (3rd) = 14 points\nTHE ONE AND ONLY IVAN . . . 1 (1st) + 1 (2nd) + 1 (3rd) = 9 points\nSPLENDORS AND GLOOMS . . . 6 (1st) + 3 (2nd) + 3 (3rd) = 39 points\nSTARRY RIVER OF THE SKY . . . 1 (2nd) + 2 (3rd) = 7 points\nWe decided to keep all the titles for a second ballot; discussed BOMB, LIAR & SPY, and SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS further; and proceeded to the decisive second ballot.\nBENEATH A METH MOON . . . 1 (2nd) + 2 (3rd) = 7 points\nBOMB . . . 11 (1st) + 4 (2nd) + 4 (3rd) = 64 points\nMOONBIRD . . . 1 (3rd) = 2 points\nNO CRYSTAL STAIR . . . 3 (2nd) + 2 (3rd) = 13 points\nTHE ONE AND ONLY IVAN . . . 2 (3rd) = 4 points\nSTARRY RIVER OF THE SKY . . . 3 (3rd) = 6 points\nBecause BOMB had 10 first place votes and a 10-point spread, we declared it our winner and chose SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS and LIAR & SPY as honor books. In slightly different circumstances, I believe any of these books could have emerged as the winner. Indeed, we have seen these books consistently rated the highest during each round of our online nominations, so it\u2019s possible that when we vote for that later in the week, we may come up with the same three books, but in a slightly different order. Our discussion of each title was illuminating and insightful, and the positive comments for each book seemed to weigh heavier, in my mind, than the negative ones. Nina and I will respond to questions and comments, but I hope that other participants will also feel free to chime in with their thoughts on the afternoon.\nSince those have been my top three choices for months I\u2019m thrilled to bits to see this. I would love to know about some of the discussion, especially about the issues that have come up around BOMB. In particular, did anyone shift from questioning those re BOMB, to feeling satisfied about them?\nSince we only had 15-20 minutes to discuss each title\u2013and there were 20 of us!\u2013we didn\u2019t spend a lot of time rehashing the online discussion. In fact, during our first round of discussion, I think we spent more time discussing whether the horrific moral consequences of Hiroshima were sufficiently communicated to the reader. During the second round of discussion, when we were largely comparing BOMB and SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS head-to-head, the documentation issue was brought up again and contrasted with MOONBIRD. I don\u2019t know that people changed their mind on BOMB. I think everybody finished with a healthy respect for the strengths of the book, and probably some slight disagreement about its weaknesses. I think the bigger factor is that some people simply saw SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS as the stronger book, regardless of whatever issues BOMB had.\n\u201d I think the bigger factor is that some people simply saw SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS as the stronger book, regardless of whatever issues BOMB had.\u201d\nI\u2019ve been struggling with a thought all weekend. I find your top three to be my top three, with little to no faults to be found. But my gut reaction after rereading all three is that SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS is by far the most distinguished. I can argue criteria point by criteria point for each, but how do you argue for some sort of ethereal rightness that is not based on logic? Am I just being stupid to even factor this in?\nMary Ann Scheuer says:\nWhat wonderful choices! Each of these utterly sucked me in as a reader, giving me the thrill of being utterly swept away by a story, by amazing writing, by characters that stay with me long after I finish the last page. Thank you for sharing the journey and all the discussions along the way. Most of all, thank you for celebrating such wonderful books.\nDanae, our second round of discussion, following that first ballot, centered for quite a while on whether BOMB or SPLENDORS & GLOOMS was the *most* distinguished\u2026and at some point I think we realized that we weren\u2019t necessarily going to shift any votes between those two\u2026that if someone had one as their #1 and the other as their #2, they probably felt just as strongly as the next person that they were right. I\u2019m guessing that the shifting happened among people who\u2019d picked a different title as their #1. Note that in that first ballot\u2026every single title had at least 1 first place vote! And that SPLENDORS actually lost a few first place votes in that second ballot.\nI always like to look at the number of total votes a book receives, even though this has no relevance in the official decision-making. I like that both SPLENDORS and LIAR have 12 votes total in that final ballot\u2026which says to me that a clear majority of us felt they deserved at least an honor. Meanwhile, BOMB had a runaway 16 votes out of 19 possible voters. We did indeed discuss the problems that some of us still have regarding the weaknesses in the source material paired with the style of narrative\u2026but we talked about them in balance of the overall package. Our group had a deep appreciation for the effectiveness of Sheinkin\u2019s narrative, both at sentence level and in structure.\nAnd though not everyone needs to reveal their voting, I\u2019ll let you in on mine. My first ballot was 1st: SPLENDORS & GLOOMS, 2nd: LIAR & SPY, 3rd: NO CRYSTAL STAIR. Making the decision on the 2nd ballot is always hard. Sometimes if you try to predict where other people are going to move their votes and vote based on that\u2026you can end up with a funny musical chairs that doesn\u2019t end up driving towards consensus. When it came time for the 2nd ballot, I actually felt the same way about my choices, and do still feel that NO CRYSTAL STAIR is \u201chonor book\u201d material. BUT\u2026I could see pretty clearly that we were headed to a narrow field of winner plus 1 or 2 honors and that NO CRYSTAL STAIR wasn\u2019t going to make it. And\u2026I got the sense from the second round of discussion that there were a lot of pulls towards BOMB, and it did have a small but significant lead in the first ballot. I decided that if it was to be our winner, I wanted it to be very decisively our winner. So\u2026I didn\u2019t shift my first and second, but I did listen to my colleagues and move NO CRYSTAL STAIR off my ballot, and BOMB into the third slot for just those couple of points, in case they made a difference. My second ballot was: 1st: SPLENDORS & GLOOMS, 2nd: LIAR & SPY, 3rd: BOMB. It didn\u2019t need my points in the end, but I do really think our second ballot tally is a beautiful one, and shows what a strong consensus looks like. So maybe *I* needed it to have those points.\nDaNae, when it comes right down to it, I think you can make very compelling cases for any of those three books (and perhaps several others, too), so I would encourage you to go with your gut (and with your heart), having done the hard work of reading, rereading, and reflecting. As for me, I think Sheinkin\u2019s narrative nonfiction is in a class by itself, not just when compared with some other fine narrative nonfiction books published this year, namely TITANIC, THE IMPOSSIBLE RESCUE, THE FAIRY RING, and THE GIANT, but when compared with what has preceded it in previous years. I think many people yesterday felt similarly and that\u2019s probably why we voted the way that we did. While I appreciate the work of Schlitz and Stead, I don\u2019t feel like either are a watershed moment in the development of a genre like I do with BOMB.\nJonathan, I will concede the watershed moment. I truly hope that with the justifiable recognition BOMB is about to receive that more books of this style will appear. My student readers can\u2019t get enough of it.\nThank you, and Nina, both for your responses. I will see if I can convince my committee to go with my gut.\nI found the ballot process really fascinating, particularly the rise of Liar & Spy on the second ballot. I\u2019m thrilled with our winner and honors, and having seen how the removal of any 4 members of our group could have produced an entirely different result has given me a new appreciation for the work that the comittees do. I left our disucssion with the impression that Splendors & Glooms and Bomb are so comparably distinguished that at the end of the day it does come back around to those gut feelings.\nI didn\u2019t include Splendors & Glooms on either of my ballots, although I\u2019m perfectly happy to see it take an honor in our discussion. On my first ballot I went IVAN, BOMB, LIAR & SPY, but on the second moved BOMB and LIAR & SPY up into the first two places and left poor IVAN as my third.\n@DaNae \u2013 I think Jonathan and Nina have said most everything that needs to be said. Certainly, for many readers, S&G is simply a more powerful book than BOMB, but part of this process is consensus, and I could definitely tell from the room that the consensus was headed towards BOMB.\nI\u2019ll reveal my voting as well. I went into the room prepared to get behind pretty much any book as at least an honor\u2013I felt the shortlist was very strong. Still, I had very strong feelings in favor of BOMB and LIAR AND SPY personally, and a strong belief that although S&G was not a favorite, it deserved attention. So, although I listened carefully to the discussion, and would perhaps have voted differently if stronger cases had been made for, say, STARRY RIVER, I ended up voting on the first ballot as I would have when I walked in: 1) BOMB, 2) LIAR AND SPY, 3) SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS.\nUnfortunately, given the first ballot votes, that didn\u2019t give me a lot of room to move. I would actually personally have liked to move S&G up to number 2 on my second ballot, but I was motivated by similar concerns to Nina\u2019s \u2013 I wanted to be sure BOMB had a decisive victory, so I ended up voting the same on the second ballot.\nI voted for 1. BOMB, 2. NO CRYSTAL STAIR, 3. MOONBIRD because those were my top three going in. I ranked them according to the support I felt they had in the discussion, but I could easily have voted for NO CRYSTAL STAIR with my first place vote had the committee been inclined that way. It was clear from the discussion that it was a two-horse race between BOMB and SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS. I didn\u2019t have a good handle on how the other books would fare so I voted strategically until I could see the lay of the land, but I voted the same on the second ballot. Since I\u2019m not the natural reader for either SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS or LIAR & SPY, I would have preferred for this committee to chose SPLENDORS and GLOOMS as the Medal book (if not BOMB) rather than settling for a consensus choice in LIAR & SPY (albeit a very worthy one).\nI do think we need to be clear with students the difference between \u201ccreative nonfiction\u201d and what they will be expected to do as college students.\nThe Bomb is a great book, no doubt about it. As a former grad student in history and a research nut, I got curious about sources and bought the book about Norway that is the sole source for one of his chapters. I found that in at least two cases he turned narrative text into dialogue.\nDoes he do it a lot? No idea. Does it matter to most readers? Probably not. Will college students writing nonfiction papers be ablle to do this? No.\nAnd do all nonfiction authors \u2014 for adults or young people do this? Absolutely not. In fact, I tend to doubt some would do this EVER, which means they are trying to create compelling books that adhere to accepted academic standards where sources are NEVER altered. And it means they are not adding dialogue to make their work more novelistic at will.\nOne example is this.\nThe source , Against the Atom, on p 42, says,\u201dDuring the fighting in Norway I had felt the lack of military training, and now I asked if could have instruction in the use of weapons. Yes, there was a section that was just the thing for me.\u201d\nOn page 51of Sheinkin this becomes.\n\u201c\u2018Can I have more instructions in the use of weapons?\u2019 Haukelid asked.\n\u2018Yes,\u2019 said the officer.\u201dThere\u2019s a section which is just the thing for you.'\u201d\nNotice my use of quotes \u2013 hey I was well trained! Again, I have no doubt 99 percent of readers have no trouble with putting words into the mouth of this officer. But if students put words in someone\u2019s mouth in a reseach paper it is simply not considered accepted academic standards of documentation and sourcing. And I do think when we are comparing books or talking about watershed moments we should be aware that books and authors may have different approaches to documentation and sources.\nOf course, there is a difference between creative/narrative nonfiction and academic nonfiction, but the reader of both can expect to have the sources documented properly and have the narrative hew to the factual record, no matter how creatively. To my mind, this kind of allegation is more serious than the previous ones discussed here because I do think he crosses the line with the officer\u2019s response. I\u2019d have to spend more time checking the book against its sources (including ASSAULT IN NORWAY by Thomas Gallagher\u2013the other Norwegian source listed in the book) to see how widespread the problem is. Does it just happen twice in the Norwegian section? Or does it happen throughout the book? JR, would you mind citing the other example of fictionalized dialogue that you found?\nJR \u2013 would you prefer moving BOMB to the fiction section where some other stunning works of history such as Carry on Mr Bowditch is now located?\nI personally feel like the labels we put on books (fiction, nonfiction, narrative nonfiction, creative nonfiction, etc) should not affect how we view a book\u2019s level of distinction. The Newbery award is after all, an award for the most distinguished contribution to children\u2019s literature and not the most accurate contribution to academic history.\nJonathan, back in September you wrote \u201cWhile we don\u2019t need to decide if NO CRYSTAL STAIR is fiction or nonfiction\u2013or, more precisely, *which* parts are fiction and nonfiction\u2013in order to find it the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children\u201d\nCan the same not be said for BOMB?\nAlso, I don\u2019t think the reader should necessarily expect to have \u201csources documented properly and have the narrative hew to the factual record\u201d. You might expect it, and you might value these things, but I don\u2019t believe any title must do these things. Can you expect them? Sure, but that seems more like a personal preference. Thinking way back to our Conspiracy of Kings discussion, I commented that I really wish MWT had included a map. Others noted that they didn\u2019t feel a map was necessary and did not hold the lack of a map (something I do expect in fantasy stories of that specific type) against the book. How exactly is that expectation different than the expectation of perfect documentation and an explanation of methods?\nI feel like most of the BOMB criticisms have been about what readers would have preferred to see in the book\u2019s back matter and much less about what Sheinkin does include in the actual narrative.\n@Amanda, I was sad to see the fall of IVAN in your court. After a rereading last week I\u2019m convinced of how strong of a book it is. I dearly hope the legit committee sees it\u2019s way to give it an honor. It is number four on my personal list, AKA GoodREads. I find I can praise it on every level of the criteria.\nBTW, in my rereading of WONDER, while I\u2019m still very fond of the book, it\u2019s literary flaws are much more apparent.\nJust read this by Amy Laura Schlitz about winning the Newber:\n\u201cTo win this is in some ways an accident\u2014it all depends on the 15 people on the committee,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s almost like a struck-by-lightning thing. So many good writers have not won it\u2014you want to be worthy of it.\u201d\nhttp://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-authors/article/55472-the-call-that-changes-everything-or-not.html\nShe is easy to adore.\nI\u2019m still thinking about this, Eric. I\u2019ll weigh in tomorrow with some additional thoughts.\nRe Norway, I do think you have to consider all of the sources he cites for those sections, esp the Thomas Gallagher ASSAULT ON NORWAY which I browsed through. I\u2019m not a history buff, so maybe someone else can give us the low-down on Thomas Gallagher, but he has a style very similar to Sheinkin\u2019s, and was also a novelist.\nEric, you note that \u201cI feel like most of the BOMB criticisms have been about what readers would have preferred to see in the book\u2019s back matter and much less about what Sheinkin does include in the actual narrative.\u201d The two are connected\u2026 what Sheinkin does include in the actual narrative provoked me, as a reader, to rely on his backmatter, which I found lacking. So, I couldn\u2019t engage with his narrative in the way he intended, because of what he did not do in the back.\nEric, with regard to genre and labels, that is no doubt true for Newbery. Would you say the same for a nonfiction award, where authors may be taking different approaches to sources? Would it be advisable to have nonfiction divided into \u201cregular\u201d and \u201ccreative\u201d subgenres, which is sometimes done for adult awards? (BTW, I am not sure narrative necessarily means not adhering to scrupulous use of original sources.)\nAs far as other citations, the only source listed for the chapter, Norway Connection, is Haukalid, Skis Against the Nation. Again, this is great and compelling writing \u2014 it is just different than \u201cacademic\u201d nonfiction that does not alter sources in any way.\nWe looked at him and came to a decision. When we were about 300 yards from the shore we went up to him.\n\u201cHeil Hitler!\u201d I said and offered him a handshake. He took my hand, and my soldiers just lifted him over the railing and into the lake.\nAfter waiting until the boat was about 300 yards from shore, Haukelid gestured for his friends to follow. He walked up to the Nazi.\n\u201cHeil Hitler!\u201d Haukelid said, using the typical Nazi greeting.\n\u201cHeil Hitler!\u201d the man said, reaching out to shake hands.\nHe remembered my mother. When she was arrested she had slapped one of the Gestapo men, to the great amusement of the others. Fehmer had asked her where I was. \u201cHe is the mountains,\u201d my mother said. \u201cNo,\u201d said Fehmer, \u201cHe is in England. Our contact in Sweden tells us that he has been taken across the North Sea in a fighter plane. And what do you think he is doing there?\u201d \u201cYou will find out when he is coming back!\u201d my mother had answered.\nA Gestapo officer corned his mother, demanding information. She wouldn\u2019t talk. A furious S.W. Fehmer, chief of Gestapo Intelligence in Norway, stepped forward and ordered her to tell him where Haukelid had gone. \u201cHe is the mountains,\u201d she responded.\n\u201cNo!\u201d shouted Fehmer. \u201che is in Britain, Our contact in Sweden tell us that he has been taken across the North Sea in a fighter plane. And what do you think he is doing thee?\u201d\nHaukelid\u2019s mother had no idea. But she knew her son. She suspected it would be something big.\nStaring Femher straight in the eye, she said,\u201dYou will find out when he comes back.\u201d\nI\u2019m very puzzled about why any book should be expected to meet the standards of an academic paper unless it states that it does so.\nDo you somehow think that a book read when a student is 13 is going to mean that student gets a D on a paper when s/he is a sophomore in college? That college students will go around thinking they can add dialogue to their essays because the books they read as children did?\nSince I read, oh, dozens of non-fiction books with invented dialogue that were already archaic by the time I was a kid, and presumably all those books were read by my elders when they were written, I think I can speak to this: I just don\u2019t think there\u2019s any connection, or any responsibility on the part of the author. Writing engaging non-fiction does get students excited about learning, however, which is the real prerequisite to succeeding as a college student.\nJR- good question about nonfiction award. I think such an award has very different goals than the newbery.\nWhat I\u2019m most worried about is the idea that one would want/require a newbery winner to teach it\u2019s reader (by example) what good nonfiction writing should look like. I for one do not want books teaching their readers anything other than how enjoyable it is to read.\nExpecting our nonfiction titles to teach students is no different than expecting our fiction titles to do the same. Do we really want to judge a fiction title on whether or not students learn something? That seems like the way books such as WONDER make it into the discussion. My main argument against WONDER is that its central goal is to teach students about understanding and bullying. As a committee member one would ignore these and focus on the literary quality (except when questioning whether or not the title is overly didactic).\nBUT it seems like for nonfiction some are focusing on what the book is teaching. Whether one questions how a nonfiction title teaches the historical record, or how it teaches the nonfiction writer\u2019s process, neither question seems any more valid than asking how well WONDER teaches kids to accept others or how well SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS teaches kids about Victorian England or the puppetry arts. If you wouldn\u2019t expect the committee to consider these two questions, than you shouldn\u2019t demand that the committee ask similar questions about nonfiction, just because it is nonfiction.\nI can\u2019t fully agree with you there, Eric\u2013the express purpose of non-fiction is to provide information. If it doesn\u2019t do that well, it isn\u2019t good literature. But on the other hand, I don\u2019t think BOMB\u2019s purpose is to provide information about what makes good academic writing\u2013it\u2019s to provide information about the history surrounding the atomic bomb.\nThis is part of the Newbery criteria\u2013don\u2019t forget the \u201cpresentation of information\u201d criterion.\nHere\u2019s another angle\u2026 the Newbery is specifically not for didactic content, so *what* is being taught is not at stake for the award. However, the Newbery is a standard for excellence in writing, so each winner or honoree must stand as an example of excellent literature of its type. So: not what it teaches, but what it models, it literary terms\u2026 and literary terms for nonfiction including presentation of information, as Wendy notes.\nI\u2019d urge BOMB discussers to review the More Bomb post where Jonathan and I shook out our own thinking on this particular issue in this title\u2026.and backtrack it to the Documentation post where Jonathan and Sheinkin communicated specifically about it.\nNina, who determines a piece of literature\u2019s \u201ctype\u201d?\nPresentation of information doesn\u2019t necessarily mean presentation of factual information, does it? I am not claiming that BOMB contains any nonfactual information, but what does it matter if it does? All this goes back to what was discussed in October in the Peccadilo discussion so I won\u2019t belabor my point any further. Other than to point out something Jonathan wrote in that discussion which i quite like:\n\u201cPresentation of information isn\u2019t something that helps either fiction or nonfiction move from the realm of distinguished to *most* distinguished. It\u2019s the \u201cliterary\u201d criteria that do that. In both cases, then, don\u2019t the \u201cliterary\u201d criteria trump presentation of information?\u201d\nEric, those having the conversation determine the \u201ctype\u201d. So: you and me! Or the committee.\nI think that we\u2019re down to semantic thumb-wrestling at this point\u2026I do mean \u201cliterary\u201d AND \u201cpresentation of information\u201d simultaneously. The literary tools/style used to present the information\u2026.\nOkay, now that I\u2019ve had time to think about this a little bit . . .\n1. If I was on the real committee, I would spend more time with the source material so that I have a much better handle on the relationship between Sheinkin and his sources. Unfortunately, many of the books are not available to me in my public library system.\n2. Nina and I mentioned to each other that the criteria of the Sibert committee allow them to have a slightly different conversation about BOMB than the Newbery. For one thing, they will be able to discuss design freely, for another they have a more specific set of criteria when it comes to presentation of information. And, of course, they will be able to discuss those issues in the context of the other nonfiction books. Other approaches to nonfiction, both narrative and documenation, do have equal validity to those on display in BOMB, and I am open to arguments that such books may be superior to BOMB. We were unable to mobilize support behind MOONBIRD, for example, as a nonfiction alternative to BOMB, but that doesn\u2019t mean that a group of fifteen different people couldn\u2019t.\n3. My issues with the documentation are only twofold. First, that specific page numbers within the sources need to be cited. And second, that each quote needs to be sourced rather than relying on the reader to infer that absent quotes can be found in the same book as previously listed quotes. I suspect that the publisher took shortcuts here because they ran out of space, but they really should have coughed up the costs associated with an extra sixteen pages in the book. As a committee member, I can\u2019t be sympathetic to that even though that may have more to do with editorial and marketing than anything else.\n4. Academic historians do not necessarily cite everything that informs each of their books. You will generally not find general reference works in their bibliographies or sources\u2013even if they were consulted. You also won\u2019t find books that are only tangentially related to the thesis. They won\u2019t list a five-hundred page Walter Isaacson book if they only read the one-page scene about Einstein meeting with Szilard and Wigner. But, then, academic historians are more concerned with analysis than with storytelling, so they wouldn\u2019t be looking at sources more like a novelist or journalist would, anyway. Most academic historians can\u2019t write their way out of a paper bag, a fact I know from majoring in history and flirting with graduate school.\n5. I was initially taken aback by JR\u2019s examples because while I have no problem with Sheinkin synthesizing various primary and secondary accounts of the same scene, this kind of \u201ctranslating\u201d seems to be of a slightly different stripe. He does stick very close to the factual record, but he infers some of the dialogue, and while I think most of it is probably accurate and based on sound logic\u2013didn\u2019t all Nazis answer \u201cHeil, Hitler!\u201d with an echoing response?\u2013there is no way of knowing with precise certainty. I am comfortable with calling this a slightly fictionalized treatment, but I still find it distinguished as all get out and here\u2019s why: no harm, no foul.\n6. What exactly is the incorrect understanding of these historical incidents that children will come away with? I do not believe that there are any\u2013or that if there are, they do not stem from this particular kind of treatment. On the other hand, I think the benefits are tremendous. I do not read books for facts\u2013that\u2019s why I use Wikipedia\u2013I read nonfiction to be engaged. And I think this kind of treatment\u2013plus some better documentation\u2013would bring many new readers to the genre where they could experience other approaches to history. I still think it is a potential watershed moment.\n7. I cringe a bit with JR\u2019s examples, not because I think it necessarily diminishes Sheinkin\u2019s work, but because I think it makes it more difficult to build consensus around. I do agree with Nina\u2019s earlier sentiment that many of these departures from the strict factual record do not necessarily make the narrative more exciting, but they alienate judges. On the one hand, the benefits do not seem to outweigh the risks. On the other hand, Sheinkin sticks with his treatment every bit as much as Schlitz, who might have picked up more readers by streamlining her story. I see Sheinkin\u2019s treatment as an impediment to consensus more than an actual flaw.\n8. I know that some people will disagree violently with me. Some people will find this treatment unacceptable under any circumstances. Some will find it acceptable with better sources and a note. And some will be like more me, perhaps wishing for those things, but not necessarily bothered by them. Having better documentation and an author\u2019s note (as Nina has argued for) would make this book easier to build consensus around.\n9. Does this really not knock the book down a few pegs in my estimation? Of course, it does. The problem is that it\u2019s still ahead of LIAR & SPY and SPLENDORS AND GLOOMS, all things considered, while the book that stands to gain the most\u2013NO CRYSTAL STAIR\u2013has consensus problems of its own. So I still don\u2019t think I would have voted any differently than I did on Sunday.\nLooking at the criteria, I feel Bomb is distinguished in development of \u201ccharacter\u201d, construction of \u201cplot\u201d, delineation of setting, and conveying the theme. I can picture Los Alamos, have come to know the players involved, feel their intense urgency, and gained insight into this historical time period.\nHere are some thoughts on the definition of nonfiction from the Line Between Fact and Fiction\nhttp://www.poynter.org/uncategorized/1500/the-line-between-fact-and-fiction/\nJohn McPhee, as quoted by Norman Sims, summarizes the key imperatives:\n\u201cThe nonfiction writer is communicating with the reader about real people in real places. So if those people talk, you say what those people said. You don\u2019t say what the writer decides they said. \u2026 You don\u2019t make up dialogue\u2026. And you don\u2019t get inside their heads and think for them. You can\u2019t interview the dead. You could make a list of the things you don\u2019t do. Where writers abridge that, they hitchhike on the credibility of writers who don\u2019t. \u201d\nThis leads us to the conviction that there should be a firm line, not a fuzzy one, between fiction and nonfiction and that all work that purports to be nonfiction should strive to achieve the standards of the most truthful journalism. Labels such as \u201cnonfiction novel,\u201d \u201creal-life novel,\u201d \u201ccreative nonfiction\u201d and \u201cdocudrama\u201d may not be useful to that end.\nThanks for the link and for pushing us to think hard about this. I understand the strong desire for a firm line and the reasons behind it, but I\u2019m not sure it is possible. As the writer of the article pointed out there are many fuzzy areas, history is not set, primary sources are not necessarily reliable,there is always the issue of picking and choosing what goes in and what doesn\u2019t, etc. etc.\nI\u2019ve got my first children\u2019s book about a child on the Amistad coming out this year. For years and years I was determined to tell her story as nonfiction, but editor after editor felt that it didn\u2019t work because there wasn\u2019t enough firsthand material to bring her up close and personal for young readers. I finally made the leap across the line into fiction, but with mixed feelings. I love the way it now reads, but I also still want my readers to know that it is a true story. That said, as I consider a new project about another real person, I\u2019m leaning toward fictionalizing it as it feels like a way to make it engaging for young readers without these issues of creative nonfiction.\nSometimes this conversation makes me think of years ago when I crossed the border between Belize and Guatemala and discovered each country had a different idea as to where that border was, resulting in an \u201cadjacency zone\u201d covering the disputed area running a kilometer each way. It seems that there is something like here where books like mine, perhaps BOMB, NO CRYSTAL STAIR, and others reside. I appreciate the CCBC which has put together a \u201cBetween Fact and Fiction\u201d list of K-5 books, most being clearly nonfiction, but some fictionalized too.\nNo easy answers here.\nIt seems to me that fiction and nonfiction are terms created to assist in classifying literature. Maybe the issue is not with particular books but with the need to have new terminology. I am more concerned with the examples from Bomb provided that a passage from a source is lifted with only slight changes. But there is no real \u201ctruth\u201d in historical research, simply the varying perspectives of records and documents of the time. Selection of what to include and organization of how to present those pieces of information can alter the interpretation of so-called facts. In that sense, all history is story, and Sheinkin seems to excel in the selection and organization of what is presented to make a thrilling story, aka history. As Monica suggests, documentation alone does not guarantee accuracy (if such a thing exists). Mistakes from secondary sources are repeated by later writers and eyewitness testimonies can be slanted or require balance from other perspectives. Bomb assembles a fascinating account, and I am satisfied that it is a distinguished contribution to children\u2019s literature.\nI also want to say that just because a book has a ton of documentation, that everything appears to be sourced, doesn\u2019t mean it is accurate. As some may recall, I found a very problematic source in Fleischman\u2019s Chaplin bio of a couple of years ago, something only someone like myself with a deep knowledge about Chaplin would have caught.\nI didn\u2019t realize there were rules about art.\nWell, there are rules about the Newbery.\nNina, do you know if the ALA website archives the award press releases or the statements made by the chair in bestowing the awards at the dinner? I ask because while you\u2019re correct in stating that the Newbery criteria specifically call out didacticism, the statements (at least as I remember them) made by the awarding committee often include remarks about the significance of a winning book\u2019s themes. So I don\u2019t think most the committee is always deciding on purely aesthetic grounds.\nRoger, I\u2019m fairly certain these remarks aren\u2019t archived online. You and I have heard many, and each written one too\u2026 and I think that in these remarks the chair is trying to express why the book won the award\u2026but also, since now it *has*, what is it about the book that will especially connect with readers, add to the canon, etc. That is, once a book has been awarded, it becomes easier to talk about its message within a package.\nHaving said that, I\u2019m sure that you are right that at least some of the committee are always considering didactic as well as aesthetic criteria. In fact, I\u2019m sure that ALL of us do. It\u2019s pretty impossible to eradicate this kind of value judgment. But by drawing attention to it, and *attempting* to keep it separate from the aesthetic discussion, and respectfully calling each other on it when we see it\u2026.I think a good committee does get very close to a consensus based on literary, not didactic, content.\nJR, I like the Clark essay very much\u2013I\u2019ve read it before\u2013and think it has many good points. I find it somewhat hard to apply to our discussion here in its entirety because it is concerned more with the fine line\u2013with definitions\u2013than with what constitutes good and bad nonfiction or good and bad literature.\n\u201cHersey draws an important distinction, a crucial one for our purposes. He admits that subjectivity and selectivity are necessary and inevitable in journalism. If you gather 10 facts but wind up using nine, subjectivity sets in. This process of subtraction can lead to distortion. Context can drop out, or history, or nuance, or qualification or alternative perspectives.\n\u201cWhile subtraction may distort the reality the journalist is trying to represent, the result is still nonfiction, is still journalism. The addition of invented material, however, changes the nature of the beast. When we add a scene that did not occur or a quote that was never uttered, we cross the line into fiction. And we deceive the reader.\u201d\nIsn\u2019t this just playing the semantic game? Isn\u2019t reality distorted with both addition and subtraction, no matter what you call it? Our job on the Newbery committee is to weigh this book holistically and compare it against the other books in the field. Some people will find this treatment a fatal flaw, some people will find it a peccadillo, and many will fall somewhere in between. If I felt deceived\u2013or if I felt that children were deceived\u2013I would probably find this to be a larger problem with the book.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb 30 Days of Love \u00bb Take a Breath\nDay 24: Employ the Sacred Pause\nOnce upon a time I lived in New York City, and, stereotypically enough, I had a therapist and I was always running late for everything.\n\u201cI\u2019m SO sorry,\u201d I said, coming into her cozy office on the upper west side. \u201cThe trains! They stopped the \u201c2\u201d for the longest time\u2026\u201d (Like any good New York City dweller I knew you could always blame your lateness on the subway.)\nMy therapist was unimpressed.\n\u201cSo you only gave yourself enough time to get here if the trains were running perfectly?\u201d (She was a real New Yorker, not a Midwestern transplant like me. She knew the trains never run perfectly.)\nWe had a good discussion that day about time and lateness. We discovered that I never gave myself extra time to get anywhere, because I hated arriving early.\n\u201cAnd what don\u2019t you like about arriving early?\u201d She wondered.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a waste of time! If I\u2019m only a few minutes early I can\u2019t settle in and read in a significant way, so I\u2019m losing productivity!\u201d\nNow at this point in my life I was a full time graduate student with two part time jobs, and I was involved in Occupy Wall Street as a Protest Chaplain. I really didn\u2019t have a minute to spare. Or so I thought.\nMy therapist gave me a challenge: next time I went somewhere I should intentionally leave fifteen minutes earlier than I needed to.\nThat Sunday I left my quiet dorm room kitchen a good 20 minutes before I had the week before. Instead of rushing down 125th street, dodging sidewalk salespeople and getting shin splints from walking too fast, I just strolled along. \u201cThis feels good!\u201d I thought. But when I got up to the train platform to take the Metro North commuter train up to Westchester County, I got annoyed. My train wasn\u2019t coming for several minutes. Several minutes! I could have sipped my coffee more slowly. I could have lain in bed a few moments longer. I could have probably even sent one important email. But here I was, on a train platform, waiting to go to my job as a youth advisor at the Community Unitarian Church of White Plains, just wasting minutes.\nYou see, it\u2019s not easy, learning how to pause, even when we manage to do it. We tend to live full and hectic lives, whether we\u2019re full time students or full time parents, whether we live in a bustling city or a sprawling suburb. For many of us, pausing feels like a waste of our most precious resource: time.\nBut pausing is, indeed, sacred.\nPausing is good in and of itself. Pausing to collect yourself before an interview or a meeting. Pausing to take a breath during a heated debate. Pausing to appreciate the smell of the rain or the warmth of the sunshine or the smile of a loved one. All these types of pauses have positive effects.\nBut taking time to pause when we feel we have no time to spare has an additional benefit. It helps move us out of a model of scarcity into a model of abundance.\nFinancially speaking, when people feel resources are scarce they tend to pinch pennies, they give less. But often, by cultivating generosity people come to realize that they do have enough, that they can spare a little more.\nIt is a wondrous thing, feeling like we have enough. When we feel like we have enough money, enough time, enough energy, enough good qualities, when we know WE are enough just as we are, that\u2019s when we can be our best selves. That\u2019s when we can share, listen, reach out, and just love more fully.\nI\u2019m not saying it\u2019s easy to live out of a sense of time-abundance. Time is a limited resource and many of us truly do not have enough of it in our day to accomplish what is expected of us. That is a reality.\nBut I find that when I leave fifteen minutes earlier than I need to, when I spend twenty minutes on my lectio divina practice in the morning, when I take the time to focus on one task at a time, my life feels better. That doesn\u2019t mean I always do it. There are still days when I leave too late and blame it on the traffic (the Bay Area equivalent to blaming it on the subway in New York). There are days when I dash off a personal email before starting work instead of opening the Bible. There are days when I frantically multi-task, talking on the phone while cooking dinner, missing part of my best friend\u2019s story and burning the tofu in the process.\nIt\u2019s a daily struggle, as it is with most things worth doing. And it\u2019s a good struggle, the constantly reminding myself that I have enough time. May each of us remember that we are enough and that we have enough time, no matter how busy we are, for moments of sacred pause.\nRead how to practice sacred pause in your daily life, including a post by Teo Drake, and why it is part of reaching out in love on Day 24 of the 30 Days of Love Campaign on Standing on the Side of Love.",

It had rained hard for most of the night, and it was still raining in the morning when I woke up. I did a little work on the computer, and I kept on delaying the time that the walk would start as the rain was hurtling down like stair rods. By ten there was a clear gap, and as I started to pack my rucksack it started to rain again. I was feeling fairly low and the last thing that I wanted was to get soaked, and so the decision that I had to make was more or less made for me. Before I set out on the trip I said that I would finish in a year, and I am scheduled to finish way ahead of this. When the trip started it took me ninety-two days before I took a day off, but as I near the end the time pressures are getting less and I feel easier about finishing the walk on time. I made best use of the day - I am planning to write a book about the walk once I finish, and I worked out a provisional layout for the book and the chapters. I also used the opportunity to get another website update written and sent off to Terry as well. Thus despite taking a day off I really did not have much of a rest, and indeed I often find walking to be more restful than the days off!\nThis morning I woke in a deep depression that I just could not lift myself out of. I could not put my finger on exactly why I was depressed, but I have been feeling ill at ease with my apparent lack of progress - I feel as though I have been on the west coast for ages. I would not go as far as to say that I wanted to end the walk, but I lay on the couch and asked myself why I was doing it. The rain that dominated yesterday had finally stopped, but this had been replaced with a grey and heavy sky that looked as if it may open at any time. This view did not do anything to make me feel happier, and it was with a heavy heart that I got ready for the day's walk.\nInitially I followed a long stretch of tree-lined road along the northern bank of Loch Sunart. This was a fairly boring plod, and was in itself fairly depressing as I could see the walk along the southern bank of the loch and Loch Tracuis, which I had walked along a couple of days before. The views were nice enough however, and this counteracted the negative feelings. I met Sam at the Clan Morrisson Hotel a short distance to the east of Borodale, and we went in for a little drink and an early lunch. We had a chat to the owner of the hotel, and admired the view across the loch from the bar. As I sat in the pub chatting I slowly realised that the depression had lifted off me as the morning had gone on.\nBorrodale was far smaller than I had expected it to be, and seemed to comprise of only a few houses and a series of signs warning people off the land of Borrodale Castle. I met Sam again at the Natural History Centre in Glenmore, which was an attractive building. There was a field full of highland cows next to the centre's car park, and I took some photographs of them for Sam whilst I waited for her to come out. She enjoyed the visitor centre, which was only two pounds fifty pence, and gave a lot of information about the wildlife, history and geology of Ardnamurchan Peninsular.\nBy the time that I reached the car park above the shingle beach of Camas nan Geall I had a choice of routes. I could either walk along the unpathed coast via Maclean's Nose, which is apparently not an easy walk, continue inland along the road for a couple of miles and take a path westwards across moorland, or walk along the road all the way to Kilchoan. I did not fancy the coastal route as it looked quite difficult for little gain; and the road route looked boring and an unnecesary inland diversion. For this reason I decided to do the middle route, and I was very glad that I did this as it proved to be a great moorland walk under the shoulder of Beinn na h-Urchrach. The path was extremely indistinct in places, but the going was good and not too boggy, and the views were superb.\nI eventually reached Mervan, which was parked in the car park of the pub at Kichoan. I felt fit enough to walk on for another few miles, but I was content with stopping at the pub for the night. My mood was far more positive than it had been in the morning, and I did not want to do anything that may have endangered this.\nIn the garden of the pub in Kilchoan there were some tents, and Sam went out to chat to the owners. Apparently they are geology students from Cardiff, and they have spent for weeks mapping a nearby mountain! Living in a tent and tramping around the same mountain for a month may not be my idea of a good life, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Sam was curious about why people from Cardiff went all the way to West Scotland to map a mountain, but apparently it is an easy mountain to map.\nThis walk starts off at the car park on the A861 road just above the village of Salen. Walk north along the A861 for a few yards, and then turn down the B8007 road through Salen. The road heads southwestwards along the northern shore of Loch Sunart before turning to head westwards, passing through Glenborrodale and past the Natural History Centre at Glenmore. At the car park above the bay at Camsa nan Geall the road turns to head inland, with the summit of Ben Hiant to the left.\nAfter a couple of miles a path leads off to the left, a few yards beyond a milepost at grid reference NM550641. The path is indistinct and hard to find on the ground, but head uphill to the west - as long as you keep going west, you should be fine. The path is visible in places, and leads towards the edge of a forested area, which it skirts for a short distance before continuing on and descending slowly to meet a track. Follow the track westwards until it skirts and then crosses the Allt Choire Mhuilinn and reaching the B8007 road immediately to the south of the farm at Caim. Turn left and follow the B8007 westwards for a couple of miles until the Kichoan House Hotel is reached, where this walk ends.\nSalen Glenborrodale 7.3 1201 1234\nGlenborrodale Kilchoan 10.2 1716 1706\nWe parked Mervan in the car park of the Kichoan House Hotel in the village, who were kind enough to let us to park there and use their facilities.\n494 Bunavullin to Laudale 24.6",

I did not throw any stone at Kwabena Oppong. I was not there at all. I never led U.P. group on that day. On the eve of Wenchi bye-election I was in the village of Bepoyase. I went there to give a Polling Agent's Card to our representative. I am a member of U.P.\n?\"Court calls on counsel for accused to furnish notice to the prosecution of particulars of alibi within 2 days as required, by section 131 (1) of Cap. 10.?\"\n?\"Counsel for defence states accused does not intend to furnish particulars, as the defence no longer wishes to pursue that line of defence.?\"\n?\"Court rules that case must proceed.?\"\nThe appellant then proceeded to assert that he knew nothing about the case, and that he did not know what had caused his arrest. He said that the evidence against him was false, and had been concocted by the [p.47] witnesses, who were all relatives of the Krontihene, with whom he was in dispute as to the right of the Chief to occupy the Stool. He said that all these witnesses lived in the same house with the Krontihene. In answer to the third assessor he said, \"This charge has been framed against me because of a letter which I took to Accra against the Chief. I was kept in prison because the Chief does not wish to be destooled. The Elders are illiterate?-I am the only one who is literate and that is why this charge has been preferred against me.\" Some of the prosecution witnesses having said that at material times he was wearing a red shirt and khaki shorts, he said: \"I have witnesses who will come to Court to say that on the 5th October, 1959, 1 was wearing a pair of trousers and a white shirt\", that on that day he had gone to Bepoyase, and that it was later that he had heard that United Party supporters on the date in question had been throwing stones at Badu. Thus, having abandoned his defence of alibi in the formal sense, he persisted in it. He did not, however, call any of the witnesses to whom he had referred (or indeed any other witness), but rested his case upon his own evidence.\nThere was evidence on the part of the prosecution that the deceased had complained to the police that the appellant had beaten him with a stick, and the appellant himself said in evidence that it was with this charge that the police at Wenchi first confronted him.\nLearned counsel for the appellant before us argued eight grounds of appeal, and it will assist in understanding the case if we set these out in extenso. They are as follows:\n1. That it was the accused who caused the death was never properly proved, there being no evidence how old was the external injury corresponding to the fatal internal injury. The medical evidence established no nexus in point of time between the stone which accused was alleged to have thrown at deceased, and the external and internal injuries found on deceased.\n2. This being a trial by assessors, and the verdict being vested solely in the trial judge, the judgment was bad because no adequate reasons were given for the finding of guilty of murder against the accused, beyond saying merely that the judge believed the prosecution witnesses. The evidence given by the prosecution witnesses could support a host of other charges, or indeed mere mishap.\n3. The evidence given by the accused was not commented upon in the judgment. In so far as that evidence could be said to have been impliedly rejected as not believed, the judgment was bad, and cannot be sustained, for it is not sufficient merely to say, \"I do not believe the defence\", without giving reasons for disbelieving it, especially in a trial on a capital charge.\n4. The trial judge erred seriously in misdirecting himself and the assessors that the evidence could not support a charge of manslaughter, and that it was either murder or nothing.\n5. Since intent was supposed to have been gleaned from the facts and circumstances, the trial judge erred in not directing himself [p.48] and the assessors as to the difference between the \"natural and probable\" consequences of an act and its \"possible\" consequence. The former would support intent, but not the latter.\n6. The finding that death is the natural and probable consequence of throwing at a person an unidentified and unexhibited stone (described as slightly bigger than a man's fist) was perverse.\n7. The prosecution witnesses in their evidence at the trial contradicted each other. Further, the evidence of each at the trial contradicted what he had said on his depositions before the committing magistrate. Counsel would seek leave from us to refer to those depositions in extenso.\n8. Intent was never proved, directly or inferentially.\nWe deal first with Ground 7, because Mr. Owusu (for the appellant) invited us at the outset to accept in evidence the depositions in extenso, to which he sought to refer. This we declined to do. If the request to receive in evidence the whole of the depositions had been made to the trial judge he would undoubtedly (and we think rightly) have refused it, on the well established ground that depositions are not evidence at a trial. They can, however, be used for the purpose of discrediting a witness, by showing that he had told one story to the examining magistrate and an entirely different story in the course of the trial. In the instant case, all the witnesses were alive, and present in court to be cross-examined upon their depositions if necessary. The fact that the depositions were not so used cannot entitle us, in order to correct a failure on the part of defence counsel in the trial-court, to do what the learned trial judge could not himself have done. To do any such thing would involve this court in a retrial of the case, upon an examination of fresh material which could not possibly have been evidence at any stage of the trial.\nIn this connection, we refer to the unreported case of Barnhill v. The King in the West African Court of Appeal sitting in Freetown on September 20, 1948. The court was constituted by Blackall, P., Lucie-Smith, C.J. (Sierra Leone), and Lewey, J.A. It was a case in which an application had been filed for leave to call fresh evidence. The application was refused for reasons stated by Blackall, P. as follows:?-\n?\"We shall give our reasons for refusing the application to call further evidence. The application, which was filed only four days before the hearing of this appeal, was to allow the appellant to give evidence as to what he now alleges were the true facts of the case, and to call his wife to corroborate this in certain respects. In support of the application, the appellant attached a copy of a statement made by him to the Superintendent of Police in the Gambia on June 13, 1948. Briefly, it was to the effect that the appellant came under the malign and hypnotic influence of a charlatan who induced him (inter alia) to believe that an empty suitcase transported from Africa to England would develop the attributes of Fortunatus' purse and be found to contain money when opened at the other end. The appellant, [p.49] according to his statement, believed this claptrap, and handed over not only the whole of the 3,700 he took from Government, but 120 of his own money to boot. In support of the application to call further evidence, counsel submitted that the circumstances were exceptional, that the appellant's belief in this fantastic story showed a complete lack of balance. But even if this were so, other conditions have to be satisfied before a Court of Appeal will admit fresh evidence.\n?\"It was stated by this Court in the case of R. v. Oton (12 W.A.C. A. 212): 'That this Court may call fresh evidence in exceptional cases is beyond dispute, but in so doing it must be guided by the same principles as those acted upon by the Court of Criminal Appeal in England'. Section 10, Cap. 149 (Laws of Gambia), follows closely section 9 of the Criminal Appeal Act, 1907. A number of cases were cited in the course of the argument before us, but that which most closely resembles the present is, we think, that of Dashwood (28 Cr. App. R. 167), which was not referred to by Counsel. In that case leave was asked to call fresh evidence, on the issue of insanity. In refusing the application, Humphreys J. observed:?-\n'The Court is now asked to allow witnesses to be called upon a new issue, and an issue different from any issue which was before the jury. It is the view of the appellant's counsel that he would have been well advised to raise the question of the appellant's sanity at the trial, but it was the express desire, and indeed the avowed determination, of the appellant that no such issue should be raised. This is, therefore, not a case in which some new evidence has come to light which was never dreamt of in the course of the trial. This is, in fact, an application that the Court should substitute itself for the jury as a tribunal of fact, and try the case anew, on a new issue and on new pleas which were never before the jury.'\n?\"and later on in the same judgment he said :?-\n'One of the matters which this Court has to consider is the probable result of creating a precedent, if this application were granted. In our opinion, the result would be to open the door to every person charged with a serious crime to instruct his counsel to put forward such defence as he thought right before the jury, and if that failed, to come to this Court and ask that there should be an inquiry into his state of mind, so that the Court might be induced to say that the proper verdict should have been Guilty but insane. We decline to accede to this course. Indeed, in our view, we have no power to enter on any such inquiry.'\n?\"See also the passage in R. v. Donovan (2 Cr. App. R. at p.18) referred to in R. v. Krudi and Others (W.A.C.A. 20 March, 1946):\n'application has been made to call further evidence, but in this case it is impossible to allow an entirely different story to that presented at the trial to be set up in this Court'.\n?\"It appeared to this Court that the principles enunciated in those cases applied to the application with which we have dealt, and that the only course we could adopt was to refuse the application to call further evidence.?\" [p.50]\nPerhaps we should add here that the accused in Barnhill was in fact granted a free pardon on the basis of the facts alleged in his application to the West African Court of Appeal.\nIn the present case, learned Counsel for the appellant invites us to consider material which, as we have said, is not evidence. We reiterate the words of Humphreys J., \"One of the matters which this Court has to consider is the probable result of creating precedent if this application were granted?\", and with this we pass to a consideration of the remaining objections raised against the conviction of the appellant, leaving Grounds 2 and 3 to be considered last in the interests of clarity.\nGround 1 raised the issue whether or not the cause of death had been properly proved, i.e., whether the evidence, if believed by reasonable men, was such as to lead to the conclusion that the deceased died from (or that his death was accelerated by) injuries received by him when he was struck by a stone on October 5, 1959. Learned counsel's argument upon this may be stated thus:\n?\"The injuries could have been produced by a stick, or a stone, or any other blunt instrument, according to the medical witness. But there was no evidence as to the age of the injuries, so as to exclude the possibility that they were sustained as a result of some hurt at a date prior to the 5th October, 1959, or that they resulted from natural causes. The stone was not shewn to the doctor. He did not consider the size of the stone, which was described as being slightly bigger than a fist. The force with which the stone was thrown was not described to him or to the Court. It was merely said that a stone was thrown, and it was not put to the doctor whether a stone of the size described, thrown from a distance of 15 feet or 27 feet, could have caused the external injuries.\"\nWe find this argument to approach the fanciful, when the other evidence in the case is considered. What the doctor in fact said was, \"A blow with the knob-end of a stick, or with a stone, would have caused the injuries I saw\". P.W.2 said, \"I was then some 15 feet away from Kwabena Oppong, and at his side. I saw accused holding a stone. Accused threw the stone, and struck the deceased on his right side below rib. My uncle fell on the ground. I went and lifted up my uncle\". This witness went on to say that he took the deceased to the Krontihene's house, and stayed with him all night, and that the deceased was taken away by the police on the following day. P.W.3, who had not seen the appellant hit anyone with a stone, helped the last-mentioned witness to lift the deceased from the ground. He too, stayed with him all night, and stated that \"Oppong appeared ill, he had difficulty with his breathing\". This witness said that previously the deceased had been in good health, and in this he received some support from the doctor, who said, \"Deceased appeared to have been in good health\", and added, after describing the injured liver and congested spleen, \"all other organs showed normal post-mortem changes\". In our view, the learned trial judge was entitled, as he did, to conclude from this evidence that Oppong died as the result of being hit by a stone, and that it was the appellant who threw the stone that caused the injuries from which death resulted. [p.51]\nGrounds of Appeal 4, 5, 6 and 8 were argued together by learned counsel for the appellant. When so considered, their general effect is a complaint that the learned judge misdirected himself and the assessors as to murderous intent, and as to proof by the prosecution that the appellant intended, when he threw a stone, (a) to cause harm the probable consequence of which would be the death of the person struck, or (b) to cause (in the legal sense) the event which followed the throwing of the stone into the crowd.\nWe are of opinion that there is force in the argument of applicant's counsel. We think that the learned judge failed to give adequate consideration to the distinction between manslaughter and murder when he found that intent to murder must be inferred from the facts and circumstances, and then proceeded to stress the absence of exonerative evidence within the meaning of section 250 of the Criminal Code (Cap. 9).\nAs long ago as 1862, Chief Baron Pollock, in the case of R. v. Vamplew ((1862) 3 F F. 520) stated the matter in a form which remains to this day good law. He said, \"The crimes of murder and manslaughter are in some instances very difficult of distinction. The distinction which seems most reasonable consists in the consciousness that the act done was one which was likely to cause death. No one, however, could commit murder without that consciousness.\"\nThe distinction to which the learned Chief Baron drew attention has in fact been clearly enacted in sections 248, 249 of our own Criminal Code, (Cap. 9) which are as follows: ?-\nSection 248. ?\"Whoever causes the death of another person by any unlawful harm shall be guilty of manslaughter:\n?\"Provided that, if the harm causing the death is caused by negligence, he shall not be guilty of manslaughter unless the negligence amounts to a reckless disregard for human life.\"\nSection 249. ?\"Whoever intentionally causes the death of another person by any unlawful harm is guilty of murder, unless his crime is reduced to manslaughter by reason of such extreme provocation, or other matter of partial excuse, as in the next succeeding section is mentioned.?\"\nThere can be no doubt that the appellant caused the death of Oppong by unlawful harm; but the question arising for further consideration was, \" Was the act done in the consciousness that it was likely to cause death?\" It was for the learned judge to give this question more careful consideration than he in fact did.\nThe appellant was one of the many persons in his following who threw stones. We are apprised of the fact that at least forty of these were prosecuted for engaging in a riot, of whom twenty-one were convicted, and (as we held on appeal) rightly convicted. It was held in that case that all these persons?-and the appellant was arrested with them on a charge of rioting?- were acting with a common purpose, but in no instance was it suggested that the common purpose was murder. We think that the learned judge oversimplified the matter when he inferred intent to murder from the facts and circumstances, and we think that he was led [p.52] into this error by the somewhat perfunctory manner in which he considered the evidence as a whole,\nAs was said by the House of Lords, in the case of Wintle v. Nye. ([1959] 1 All E.R. at p.558):\nIt was not enough for the judge to say to the jury that, if they believed the respondent, whom they had seen and heard, then they could decide in his favour. It was imperative that he should at least point out the considerations, which were not lacking, for them to bear in mind in deciding whether they should, or should not, believe him.\"\nWe are of opinion that a jury should be directed on the whole of a case, so as to lead them to have a critical approach on the relevant issues?-for instance (in the present case) the question of intent to murder, in order to decide whether the facts prove intent to murder or otherwise.\nIn the present case it is objected in Grounds 2 and 3 that the learned judge failed in this regard. What appears from the record is that the learned judge, after what can properly be described as an uncritical summing-up to the assessors in the sense described in Wintle v. Nye ([1959]1 All E.R.552) repeated this in his judgment, and concluded in a form with which this court is becoming unhappily familiar:\" After I had summed up, the assessors unanimously stated that in their opinion the accused was guilty of murder. With this opinion I am in entire agreement, as I believe and accept the evidence of the witnesses for the prosecution that the accused struck Oppong with a stone in the circumstances they described and that Oppong died as a result of the injuries sustained.\"\nThe learned judge gave no reasons for his all?-embracing acceptance in a capital case of the evidence for the prosecution, or for his equally all?-embracing rejection, albeit sub silentio, of the case for the defence. Nor did he at any stage analyse the evidence in a critical sense, either to the assessors or to himself. We wish here to repeat what we have already stated as our opinion in such circumstances in R. v. Sarpong ([1959] G.L.R at p.384) in which we dealt with the meaning and intendment of section 300 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cap. 10) as follows:\n\"In a jury case, when a Judge sums up, it is his duty, according to the decided cases, to marshal and sift the whole of the evidence, so that it is presented to the jury in such a form as will enable them to bring to its consideration in the course of their deliberations clear, well-informed and analytical minds. It is not less essential, in a case where a Judge sits with the aid of assessors (and he is so required by the Statute, whether he sums up to the assessors or not) that he should give a judgment in writing, from which it will appear to all who read it that he has, in arriving at his own verdict, instructed himself as fully as his duty would require him to instruct a jury, if he had in fact been sitting with a jury.?\"\nAs was said by the late Lord Hewart, Chief Justice of England, in enunciating a fundamental principle for the guidance of all who administer the law, \"It is of the utmost importance not only that justice be done, but that it manifestly must be seen to be done.\" [p.53]\nJudged by these requirements the summing-up and judgment of the learned trial judge in the present case were in our opinion bad for misdirection by non-direction. One result of this was that the learned judge, when he in effect found that intent was proved by (in the sense that it must be inferred from) circumstantial evidence, did not pause to consider the effect of the long established rule in Hodge's Case ((1838) 2 Lew.C.C. 227), that \"where a charge depends on circumstantial evidence it ought not only to be consistent with a person's guilt, but inconsistent with any other rational conclusion.\" Nor did the trial judge consider the elaboration of this rule as provided by Lord Goddard in R. v. Onufrejczyk ([1955] 1 All E.R. at p.248): \"Death can be proved, like any other fact can be proved, by circumstantial evidence, that is to say, by evidence of facts which lead to one conclusion provided that the jury are satisfied and are warned that the evidence must lead to one conclusion only.\" The learned trial judge further failed in this connection to consider the balance of probability. Had he done so, and borne in mind the rules to which we have referred, we think that he could not have given it as his opinion that intent must be inferred from the facts and circumstances. We think further that, with a proper understanding of the law of Ghana, he would have found himself impelled, upon the preponderance of probability in connection with circumstantial evidence, to direct both the assessors and himself that, if the evidence satisfactorily proved that death had resulted from wounds caused by the stone thrown by the appellant, a proper finding would be \"guilty of manslaughter.?\"\nTo the extent that the learned judge's approach to the case resulted in the appellant's being adjudged guilty of murder we think it involved a miscarriage of justice. We are, however, of opinion that it went no farther, and we think that justice will be served by our setting aside the conviction for murder, quashing the sentence of death, and substituting a verdict of guilty of manslaughter and a sentence of five years I.H.L.\n<P>Conviction for manslaughter substituted for conviction for murder</P>\n(1) Barnhill v.

Meaning of the Term. Benefice (beneficium ecclesiastirom) is a term which includes two meanings: the spiritual, relating to the ecclesiastical duties attached to it; and the temporal, relating to the income and other worldly advantages of the office. The latter is more strictly the meaning of the word, though the connection of the two was early recognized in the phrase beneficium datur propter officium. Indeed, the term beneficium is not generally used where there is only the temporal side, with no corresponding duties. Such a case may be a commenda, whose holder has a right to the revenues of a church without any responsibilities; or a pr\u00e6stimonium, which is a charge for support on the revenues of the church; or a pensio, the use of a part of the revenues. These relations, however, when they are permanent fall under the general rules applicable to benefices. The benefice proper is ordinarily permanent, though sometimes founded for a specified time.\n2. Remuneration of Clergy. Historically in the primitive Church all the property of a diocese formed one whole, administered by the bishop; its purpose was primarily the support of the poor-bishop and clergy lived as belonging to that class, and were supposed, if they had no private means, to support themselves by their own labors. Those who had no other means of support received a monthly stipend from the general fund. With the recognition of the Church under Constantine, and the consequent accession of considerable property and state subventions, the system changed. But in law the episcopal church was still the unit in any consideration of diocesan property, and the bishop still its exclusive custodian. This remained the case when church property was divided into three or into four parts (see CHURCH BUILDING, TAXATION FOR) and one part destined for the support of the clergy. While, however, it was long before the theory changed, in practise there was a tendency to decentralization, and the individual parishes began to be recognized as separate units. This arose largely from donations and endowments destined by the donor for a particular church, whose clergy were to be supported out of their returns. After the fifth century it became customary for the bishops, instead of paying their clergy out of a central fund, to assign pieces of land for their support and that of the poor and of public worship. These assignments became gradually irrevocable, and thus finally the diocesan unity was dissolved, and the separate churches came into permanent possession of these properties.\n3. Provisions Affecting Benefices. The intimate connection between otficium and beneficium is shown by a review of the provisions affecting benefices. They are divided into regular and secular, according as they are served by monastic or secular clergy; into beneficia curata, those to which the cure of souls is attached, and non curata, such as those of chaplains, canons of cathedrals, and the like.\nThe Council of Trent forbade changing a beneficium curatum into a non curatum or simplex. The erection or constitution of a benefice, the permanent attachment of certain revenues to the performance of certain duties, was held to be reserved to the ecclesiastical authorities. The foundation of bishoprics was originally a function of provincial synods, but later came to the pope, who also had power alone to found collegiate churches. The bishop has power to found other benefices within his diocese, and his officials decide whether the endowment is sufficient and whether the proposed foundation will be useful and not injure any other party. The founder has certain rights of imposing conditions for the tenure of his benefice, which, once confirmed, are perpetual.\n4. Appointment to a Benefice. The appointment to a benefice (provisio, institutio canonica) includes the choice of the person (designatio) and the conferring of the benefice (collatio, concessio, institutio in the narrower sense). The designation to the greater benefices (bishoprics and the like) is sometimes by election, sometimes by nomination of the sovereign; to the lesser, by the choice of the bishop, frequently on the nomination of a patron. The collation is the act of ecclesiastical superiors--of the pope to bishoprics (confirmatio), of the bishop to the lesser benefices.\nThe conditions of a proper canonical appointment to a benefice are several: (1) A vacancy must exist, and that a real one, not such as would be caused by the forcible expulsion of the incumbent. Thus expectancies (q.v.) are forbidden; but the election of a coadjutor-bishop cum jure successionis is allowed. (2) The person appointed must be a persona regularis and idonea, i.e., properly qualified to hold the benefice. Under this head comes the possession of the qualifications necessary for ordination (q.v.), though, where it is required, a delay of a year or other specified time may be granted. Intellectual qualifications are included, to be determined, according to the Council of Trent, by examination; and the law has sometimes required native birth also, other things being equal. (3) The appointment must be made within the legal time, the rule being that no benefice shall remain vacant more than six months; otherwise the right of presentation is lost (see DEVOLUTION, LAW OF). (4) There must be no simony involved. (5) What are called subreption and obreption are also forbidden; this affects especially cases where a person obtains a benefice without letting it be known that he already holds another. The church law forbids plurality of benefices, except, for ex- ample, in cases where a beneficium simplex is held concurrently with a beneficium curatum, these being held to be compatible. This rule was often violated by papal dispensation, which caused great dissatisfaction. (6) The proper forms, both in the designation and in the collation, must be observed (see BISHOP; INVESTITURE; etc.)\n5. Rights of a Benefice. The rights and duties connected with a benefice are partly matters of universal law, partly special to the particular case. The incumbent has a right to the usufruct of any property belonging to the benefice, tithes, fees, oblations, etc. All this is his absolutely; but the view that he ought only to use so much of it as will suffice for his support, devoting the rest to ecclesiastical purposes and especially to the poor, influenced legislation very early, so that what came from the Church was supposed to revert to the Church, if it had not been used, at the cleric's death. This rule, which at one time was positive, has been very much relaxed, within certain limits. Of course the incumbent's power over church property is limited by the rights of his successor, and no arrangements can be made lasting beyond his lifetime, unless by the concurrence of the proper authorities.\n6. Tenure. A benefice is supposed to be conferred for life, and is normally vacated only by the death of the incumbent, but it may be vacated earlier by resignation, either express or tacit. Resignation can not be arbitrary with the incumbent, as he has by his acceptance of it incurred certain obligations from which he must be released-bishops by the pope, the lower clergy by their bishops. There must also be a valid ground for it. Tacit resignation may come about through any act which ipso facto dissolves the relationship: the taking monastic vows by the holder of a beneficium s\u00e6culare, the acceptance of a secular office, marriage (see CELIBACY), the acceptance of another incompatible benefice, change of faith, etc. Vacation as a penalty may occur through deprivation or remotion; this includes the transfer of a priest, as a disciplinary measure, to a smaller charge.\n[The technical use of the word benefice in Protestant Churches is largely confined to the Church of England, where a great part of the prescriptions given above is still in force. In the statute law of England the term is practically restricted to a benefice with cure of souls, as distinct from cathedral preferment. In the State Churches of Germany also the distinction between beneficium and oflicium is still maintained, and the erection and alteration of benefices is a matter concerning jointly the ecclesiastical and secular authorities. Here the ordinary collator to a benefice is the consistory. The tendency of the most modern legislation is toward giving the congregation a voice in the selection of the pastor.]",

        "raw_content": "CALGREEN UPDATE BEGINS; CONSTRUCTION WASTE PROPOSAL WITHDRAWN\nThe California Building Standards Commission GREEN Code Advisory Committee discussed yesterday, a range of proposals for the Interim building code update. Update ideas impact everything from electric vehicle charging station ratios and installation, to indoor air quality, to water efficiency guidelines.\nDue to the objection of industry representatives and the enforcement community, the Building Standards Commission did withdrawn a proposal to increase the amount of construction waste and debris which must be recycled or reused. State law and the California Green Building Code currently require at least 50% of construction waste and debris to be recycled or reused. The BSC had proposed to increase this percentage to 65% starting July of 2015, a year and a half ahead of the schedule previously announced.\nIndustry and the enforcement community objected over the lack of adequate cost impact data and the fact that mixed-use projects would be dealing with two different standards for the same project (Note: the increase to 65% recycling for residential projects will not take effect until January of 2017). Since the BSC chose to withdraw this proposal, it is effectively \u201cdead\u201d and cannot be heard at the July BSC Adoption Hearing.\nThis is an ongoing process. Proposals are technical and complicated. Your participation is highly encouraged. Here are the non-residential changes that were discussed: California Building Standards Commission (BSC 06/13) \u2013 Amend the triennial edition of the 2013 California Green Building Standards Code, Title 24, Part 11.",

The public is also invited to attend and give some input.\nThe Council put off a recommendation by current City Manager Thad Taylor to contract with the Michigan Municipal League to do the profile and search, and instead felt they would like to get a head start on the process by coming up with their own attributes of what they and the community would like to see. The average cost of engaging the MML\u2013$15,000 to $18,000\u2014wasn\u2019t something they were sure if they wanted to spend. They decided that they would do the profiling first, then have the MML come in and do a presentation. The MML routinely does the profiling, all the advertising, background checks, questions, and narrows down the prospects.\nThe Council talked about having two meetings. The first one, on November 19, would be to gather attributes in a new city manager that are important to the council and other stakeholders\u2014residents, business owners, community groups\u2014and the second meeting, not yet scheduled would narrow it down to the top 5 attributes.\nTaylor\u2019s last day is November 20.

        "raw_content": "As I write this, I am in the early stages of considering treatment options to enhance my quality of life. It\u2019s amazing how things can change. Two years ago I wrote, \u201cI have always felt like the quality of life should never be about pain management or prevention. I completely understand why it is so important, and believe me it is, but I think what makes someone happy triumphs. I am over the moon that for six years I walked pain-free, on my own. I am so proud that I will gladly sit with the consequences.\u201d\nWho the hell was I?\nYour quality of life is all about pain management or prevention. It should be. That\u2019s the point. Your quality of life is no doubt tied to your happiness. This is no surprise. If you\u2019re in less pain, you are happier. When you feel better, you can do more of the things you enjoy.\nEveryone is affected differently by illness. Not everyone wants the same things out of life or has the same goals. What one person considers to be high quality of life might not even chart for you. That\u2019s the great thing about the medical and social technology that we have today \u2014 there are more resources to help you live your best life than ever.\nAt some point, you will be in a position where you must choose what is best for you, whether it\u2019s surgery, different medication, new doctors, diets or treatment programs. I\u2019ve gone through my treatment center\u2019s entire pediatric program, and I\u2019ve started the transition into its adult services. In a lot of ways, I feel like I have control over my body for the first time.\nWhen you transition into adult services, you are really able to take the driver\u2019s seat. Just like actually having your driver\u2019s license, with great power comes great responsibility \u2014 you must use your power wisely. Because life doesn\u2019t have a driver\u2019s manual, here are some tips:\nStay informed. I encourage everyone to keep up with what\u2019s going on within their community. Set up Google Alerts about your illness and treatment options. Ask questions. Always weigh the pros and cons, but weigh them against all of the things that matter to you, versus only considering medical details that are blind to your quality of life.\nResearch. It\u2019s so important to have more information than just what your doctor is giving you, and the best way to do that is seek firsthand accounts from people who have been in your shoes. The internet will open you up to tons of support and resources.\nSelf-advocate. If you find a treatment option you think might work for you and it has never been used on people with your illness, go to your doctor informed and with questions \u2014 start the discussion. Say why you\u2019re interested in the option and how you think it could help; maybe show some of the research you\u2019ve done. You don\u2019t know until you try. Your bravery could help and inspire others like you who are also looking for answers.\nMost importantly, stay strong.\nTagged adult, advocate, informed, pain managment, pain prevention, quality of life, transition.\nPrevious: CP-related Worm Study Identifies Which Brain Cells Control Which Movements\nNext:Delaware\u2019s DuPont Hospital for Children Gets New CP Division Chief",

        "title": "Criminal Defense Lawyer Traverse City, MI | Gerald F. Chefalo",
        "raw_content": "Criminal Defense \u2013 General Information\nIntroduction to Michigan Criminal Defense\nThe criminal justice system protects us by arresting and jailing criminals. Yet not everyone who is arrested is the bad guy. Someday, you, a family member, or a close personal friend may be accused of committing a crime and be arrested. This information provides an overview of the rights of those who have been arrested and explains how the Law Office of Gerald F. Chefalo can help protect your rights.\nArrest By Law Enforcement Officers\nIn an arrest, a law enforcement agent, such as a police officer, sheriff, or a state trooper constrains your freedom of movement because of your possible involvement in a criminal offense. In some cases, the arresting officer may take you into custody; in others, you may be stopped, verbally or physically, so that you can be questioned about a crime.\nAn arrest warrant is a written order by a judge directing the police to arrest the person named in the warrant. If a warrant for your arrest has been issued, the police may arrest you in your home or in a public place. At the time of your arrest, the officers making the arrest should tell you that they have a warrant and show it to you.\nWithout your consent or special circumstances, you cannot be arrested in your home without a warrant. The police can arrest you without a warrant for committing a misdemeanor in their presence. Misdemeanors are ordinarily lesser crimes. Examples include trespassing, disturbing the peace, driving under the influence of alcohol, failing to stop when you are in an accident, driving without a valid driver\u2019s license, or causing the police to believe you will disregard a traffic citation.\nThe police can also arrest you without a warrant if they have reason to believe that you have committed a felony, such as robbery, murder or drug offenses. If you are arrested without a warrant for a felony or a misdemeanor, you are entitled to a prompt hearing to determine whether the officers had the minimum level of evidence required for a legal arrest.\nA citizen, such as a security guard or store owner, may arrest you if you have committed a crime in their presence. They can also arrest you if they have good reason to believe that you have committed a felony. However, the arrest is only lawful if you committed the crime for which you were arrested, and you must be promptly taken before a judge and turned over to the police. You may be entitled to recover damages for unlawful arrest for a crime you did not commit.\nThe police may use the reasonable force necessary to arrest you, but they are not permitted to use excessive force or brutality. Even if you are innocent, you should not resist arrest. Besides risking injury to yourself, you may be charged with the crime of resisting arrest. If you resist a citizen\u2019s arrest, you might be charged with assault and battery. Even if you are eventually found innocent of the original charges, the arrest is not illegal if it conformed to the requirements of the law.\nOrdinarily, the police must have a search warrant before conducting a search. However, after you have been arrested, the police may search you and the immediate area around you without a warrant if they reasonably suspect that you may be armed. A search is also permitted when the police see contraband at the time of making an arrest. If the police find something that is a crime to possess, such as a gun or drugs, they may take it and arrest you for possessing it. The police may also take your money and property from you to keep in a safe place until it can be returned to you or used as evidence. If possible, try to verify that all of the items taken from you are inventoried on a written list.\nYou are entitled to telephone a lawyer, a friend, or a family member to notify them of your arrest. You have the right to consult with a lawyer and have him or her present when the police question you. The best practice is to remain silent until your lawyer is present since any statement that you make can be used as evidence against you.\nIf you cannot afford to hire an attorney, you are entitled to a court-appointed lawyer. Depending on local procedures, the court may appoint a private attorney (the case in Northern Michigan), a lawyer from a legal aid society, or a public defender. The police are required to notify you of these rights before questioning you. Ordinarily they are recited during the confusion of the arrest. Remember them. They may become critical to your defense later on.\nEven if you declined a lawyer at the time of your arrest, you retain the right to have a lawyer at any time after being arrested. You should seek the advice of a lawyer at the earliest possible time to avoid incriminating yourself, to get released from custody, to decide how to plead, and to prepare for your trial.\nIf you are called by a family member or friend who has been arrested, remind them that they have a right to a criminal defense lawyer in Michigan and that they do not have to respond to police questioning until the lawyer is present. If a lawyer has been engaged, the person who has been arrested should let the police know that they claim the right to counsel and that a lawyer is on the way\nBeing Taken Into Custody\nAfter you have been arrested, you may be taken into custody and brought to a detention facility. At the detention facility your arrest will be registered into police records and you may be fingerprinted and photographed. After you have been taken into custody, you or your lawyer can make arrangements for your release while you are waiting for your trial.\nYou may be asked to participate in a line-up. This is a procedure in which several people, including one or more suspects, are shown to victims or witnesses of a crime to see if they can identify the one who committed it. If you are asked to participate in a lineup, you have a right to have your attorney present.\nIf you are confined in a detention facility, it may be several hours to a couple of days before you appear before a judge who can consider releasing you. Do your best to stay calm, and do not discuss the circumstances of the alleged crime with others. Any statements you make may be reported to the police and used against you.\nIf you are accused of a less serious crime, such as a minor traffic violation, the police may ask you to sign a citation instead of taking you into custody. If you sign the citation, you are promising to appear in court, but your are not admitting guilt. If you have no identification or refuse to sign the citation, the police may take you into custody.\nGetting Released from Custody\nAfter the arrest, you will be brought before a judge (or magistrate) to be formally charged with a crime and provided an opportunity to be released while awaiting trial. If you appear in court without a lawyer, the judge must allow you a reasonable time to find one before proceeding with the case. You might be required to post bail, or you may be released on your promise to appear in court. Bail is money or other property deposited with the Court to ensure that you will appear for your trial. To decide whether to require bail, the judge will consider various factor, such as your family ties, financial resources, employment record, and the seriousness of the crime you have been charged with.\nBeing Detained\nYou can be detained without being arrested if the police suspect that you are engaging in criminal activity or that you might be armed. For example, the police may ask you to identify yourself and conduct a limited search for weapons if they observe you pacing in front of a closed store in the dark. Or a store owner or employee might detain you for a reasonable time for questioning if they have a strong reason to believe that you have stolen or have attempted to steal something.\nIf You Are Wrongfully Arrested\nIf your arrest did not conform to the legal requirements, the arresting officers, and the governmental authority they work for, may be responsible for compensating you for damages. Similarly, a person who makes a citizen arrest without reasonable grounds is potentially liable for damages for false arrest, as is the person\u2019s employer. If you believe that you have been wrongfully arrested or detained, please tell our office and when can direct you through the appropriate procedures.\nMichigan Criminal Defense Conclusion\nFor people who have never before faced criminal charges, an arrest can be frightening experience. The stress of the arrest may cause you, your family members, or friends to overlook important matters, such as the right to remain silent and the right to seek advice from a lawyer. If you are arrested, you should consult a Michigan Criminal Defense Attorney as soon as possible in order to protect your rights and defend yourself against the charges made against you. Our office can also negotiate on your behalf with the police and the prosecution and advise you of the risks and advantages of cooperating with the authorities. We can also help you with the bail process. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, you may ask the judge to appoint a court-paid lawyer for you.\nAbove all, do your best to stay calm. An arrest is not a conviction. You really are innocent until proven guilty. Prospective employers cannot ordinarily inquire into your arrest, nor can it be used to undermine your testimony in court. If you have further questions about these or other matters, please contact The Law Office of Gerald F. Chefalo as soon as possible.\nSuccessful results in cases involving:\nDUI, DWI, OWI\nNSF/Bad Checks\nSex Crimes (all degrees)\nHome Invasion/Property Crimes\nGreat, but what do I do RIGHT NOW!\nIf you have been accused of a felony or misdemeanor, here is what you need to know to protect your rights and safeguard your future.

        "raw_content": "We have spent the better part of two decades together and it has been a tremendous ride.\nAlthough we have had our challenges, we have stayed together and we have stayed loving each other. It may have been easier to walk away; like other couples do, we didn't and we haven't. it is a challenge when you put two strong-willed people together to form a family, but one plus one, still equals two and no matter how you slice it, two is better than one. We have continued to lean on God's word, and because of His mercy, we are still here together. living, learning, laughing and experiencing His continued blessings.\nSo, because of His continued blessings, we decided to share our experiences and Chef & Bride was formed. Designed as a way for us to share our love for God, people, places and yes sometimes things. We are also here to help others reach a goal, manage a project or create an experience. We realize now that sharing and building relationships is our journey, our passion and our sweet spot. It is not a journey of self discovery, but of self-exploration.\nChef and Bride officially became a culinary, lifestyle and social consultancy on January 13, 2016. Many of you know that we been helping others create meaningful experiences for years, from weddings to restaurant concepts to special events. Now we are going to formally help others and do it together. Obviously, DeJuan is Chef and Sharon is his bride. We thought it was a fitting name, since we want to always think of ourselves with the \"newlywed\" spirit because it embodies connection, change, communication, relationship skills and hope for the future.\nWe hope you will enjoy the ride and share this journey with us.",

Following the events of September 11, 2001, British and American troops entered this land \u2014 land that for centuries has become a graveyard of empires.

        "title": "Church Coffee: Is the UM Ordination Process Too Arbitrary?",
        "raw_content": "I\u2019m an ordained elder in the West Ohio Conference of the United Methodist Church. My path to become ordained, however, was more difficult than it should have been. When I say this, I know that I echo the sentiments of many people who have gone through the ordination process in the UMC, whether they are seeking ordination as a deacon or an elder.\nTo be clear, I am not saying that ordination should be easy. Our standards for ordination should be high. I believe that the Church is the most important institution in the world, and the standards for ordained leadership in the Church should be commensurate with the importance of the Church. I am saying, however, that ordination should not be unnecessarily difficult.\nWhen I was coming up through \u201cthe process\u201d (please note: this was not in the West Ohio Conference) I was often told that I was \u201ctoo intellectual\u201d or some such thing.\nToo intellectual? I was planning on a career as an academic.\nWhy, then, they would ask, do you want or need to be ordained?\nThis question always struck me as bizarre for two reasons. First, I was called to ordination. This sense of call was and is very clear to me. The fact that I didn\u2019t articulate it in the same terms as the members of my District Committee, however, seemed to be problematic. Was I not emotive enough? Did I need to start crying? Did I not use the right code words? In retrospect, I realize that certain members of the committee had a set of informal and unstated criteria that they were using to assess my readiness for ordination. The problem was that the criteria were stated nowhere in the Discipline or in the candidacy materials that I had been given. The criteria were arbitrary.\nSecond, I could never figure out why so many of the people interviewing me saw congregational pastoral ministry as the only appropriate route for an elder. (My comments here will relate to the office of elder, since that\u2019s where my experience lies, though this is in no way to diminish the significance of the order of deacon.) The Discipline allows for extension ministries. Ostensibly, the UMC values these ministries. I was also puzzled, however, by the idea that we would want to take actions that would reduce the number of ordained elders in our colleges, universities, and seminaries. If the sacraments are means of grace, wouldn\u2019t it be important to make these readily available to students in our UM institutions of higher learning? Don\u2019t we want professors who care deeply about the church, the salvation of human beings, and the cultivation of holiness? What I was proposing to do was clearly within the boundaries of UM polity, but again the people interviewing me were utilizing informal and unstated criteria to make decisions about my readiness for ordination.\nAs I went before the Board of Ordained Ministry (also not in West Ohio\u2014hey, I have to protect the innocent), I went to the committee that was to examine my theology and doctrine. One member of the interview team asked me, \u201cYou said in your paperwork that the Nicene Creed is the most important creed.\u201d He looked at me with the suspicious glare of a detective questioning a suspect. \u201cWho gets to decide what the most important creed is?\u201d Another member of the committee began to nod in approval. \u201cYeah,\u201d she said. \u201cWho gets to decide that?\u201d\nHonestly, the question left me beyond puzzled. In terms of its historical importance, its formative effect upon later doctrine, its liturgical usage, its catechetical significance, the Nicene Creed is in a class by itself. So I asked\u2014and I promise that it was an honest question\u2014\u201cWhat are the other options?\u201d\n\u201cWe\u2019re the ones asking the questions here,\u201d my interlocutor replied.\nOh. Ok. I get it.\nFinally, I did make it through the process, and I have dedicated my vocation to serving the Church through a ministry of theological education. There were several times, though, when the process was so discouraging that I almost quit. Had it not been for a deep sense of calling, I\u2019m sure that I would have. Make no mistake: there were very supportive people along the way. I owe a great debt to them. The process itself, though, was deeply problematic.\nSince my ordination I have served on the District Committee for the Miami Valley District of the West Ohio Conference, as well as the West Ohio Conference Board of Ordained Ministry. I\u2019ve reflected a great deal on the ordination process and the proper work of committees and boards who have oversight of the process. I have much more to say about this matter, but there is one item that I want to highlight in this post: the biggest problem with our ordination process is that it is not undergirded by a clear theology of ordination.\nBegin with \u00b6 301 in the Discipline. There is considerable discussion of what the ordained should do. There is little or no discussion of what ordination is. How can we have a fair process of ordination when we have no agreed upon theological understanding of what our bishops are doing when they ordain? It\u2019s no wonder that our process is given to arbitrary criteria that can vary from conference to conference, team to team. As a church, we need to get clearer about what ordination is.\nThis would help us with another problem as well: clergy burnout. As a seminary professor and dean, one of the most common problems I see among my students is that they don\u2019t know what the parameters of their jobs are. Too often, young pastors think that their job is everything. It isn\u2019t. The primary role of a pastor is to bring people into relationship with God, to bring the Holy into the ordinary lives of women and men. Without without a clear sense of the ministry into which they are ordained, pastors will be much more prone to leave the ministry.\nI\u2019m currently heading up a team for my annual conference to review our candidacy and interview process. I know many of you reading this blog will have strong opinions about the ordination process. If you do, let me know what you think is working and what isn\u2019t. Please help me to think constructively about this matter. I consider the work of this team to be very important, and I would very much appreciate any insights you may have to offer.\nkiminoz January 23, 2014 at 10:05 AM\nThank you, Dean Watson. I have likened my experience of seeking candidacy to flying a plane solo, blindfolded, with no map, and my hands tied behind my back. Here in Kansas they are working to improve the process and help those seeking to be in ministry, and I am confident that those in charge will find a better way. However, you are correct: each conference/district experience can be different, and difficult to navigate. And we wonder why we have a shortage of young people in ministry....\nDavid F. Watson January 23, 2014 at 5:11 PM\nWell, it certainly would make sense that, if we want to attract young clergy, we would not present them with an overly cumbersome process. I guess the question is how we manage a responsible process without making it too burdensome.\njourneyman37 January 23, 2014 at 10:06 AM\nYou're correct the Discipline has no clear theology of ordination. But I would suggest the Ordinal does, both in its introductory matter and the rites proper. I'd encourage you and candidates to use it as a theological resource, specifically noting how the questions and vows of ordination or consecration function as specifications of the ways deacons, elders and bishops are to luve out the baptismal covenant among us.\nHere is the current ordinal:http://www.gbod.org/lead-your-church/ordination2/resource/services-for-the-ordering-of-ministry-in-the-united-methodist-church-2013-2\nDavid F. Watson January 23, 2014 at 10:11 AM\nThank you, Taylor! Lex orandi lex credendi.\nK.P. January 23, 2014 at 10:06 AM\nI've changed conferences recently (and am in the process currently) and I have appreciated that in my new conference the members of the board that will be interviewing me also speak with the PPR, my senior pastor, and a few other people; my previous conference required written recommendations from people in that conference, even though I was working in a different conference - there was no conversation with the people who know me best. Just one of the thoughts along this journey...\nSounds like you've made a good move. Here's hoping it continues along the same track.\nK.P. January 28, 2014 at 8:41 AM\nIt certainly wasn't the only reason I changed conferences (it makes sense to be a part of the conference where I work...) but I am very happy to be in my new conference.\nrev amy January 23, 2014 at 10:13 AM\nI was privileged to be a part of the Ministry and Higher Ed legislative committee at GC 2012. Considering the legislation about \"early ordination\" (at provisional, not full membership) made me dig into the theology of ordination and ask questions that I never had before. I was shocked to realize I had made it through seminary, my own BOM process and 10 years of ministry without having answered some fundamental questions and that I needed a much clear articulation of my own ordination! In the denomination with such a vacuum we really have many, many different understandings that we act on without clear conversation.\nHow about in the next post you take a crack at a United Methodist theology of ordination?\nUm... I will get to that post, I promise. But I am going to have to clarify my thinking on this matter before I feel comfortable putting something out into the blogosphere.\nJohn Wesley Leek January 23, 2014 at 10:16 AM\nI'm a commissioned elder and hope the BoOM is called to recommend ordination in a few years. I definitely found a lot of push back at the district level. I hope to help plant new communities of people following Jesus Christ within our denomination. My committee thought I needed to spend a lot more time cultivating the shepherding gifts seemingly unimpressed by the apostolic or evangelistic. (This isn't a pipe dream; I have a track record!) Other folks told me afterwards that none on the committee had planted a church so of course they didn't understand you. Starting new vs serving long established requires a very different mindset. The impulse of several on the committee seemed to be \"we need to make him more like us.\"\nIt can be really hard to chart a new path, John. I wish you blessings in this endeavor.\nTom Griffith January 23, 2014 at 10:26 AM\nAt the risk of offending: one of the things that has bothered me the most about seminary professors and ordained college professors with extension ministry appointments is to discover just how many of them have no regular participation in a local UM church. I'm not talking working as an assistant pastor, but simply being a regular worshiper, active in (or even available to) an adult Sunday School class, or being available to help with the sacraments or to fill in if the pastor become ill.\nI don't think it is unreasonable to ask that all who are ordained in the UMC (unless retired and no longer physically or mentally able so to participate) have not only a charge conference relationship, but can show some level of regular or even semi-regular participation in a local UMC church.\nParticularly, I have wondered if it would be reasonable to expect that UM clergy who teach in one of the UM seminaries approved by the University Senate have to provide their Dean with a certificate from the the pastor of the local church in which they participate, attesting to their regular participation. If we expect ordained clergy to train our incoming clergy, (whom we demand have regular participation in a local church), is it not unreasonable to ask that those to do the training have the same sort of requirement.\nPerhaps I am jaded by recalling the late L. Harold DeWolf, who believed that if he could not make the Gospel relevant to children, he had no business teaching it in a seminary. For years, he was a regular teacher in the Kindergarten Sunday School class at the church which he attended. Bravo for him!\nR. Alexander Tracy January 23, 2014 at 2:16 PM\nTom, I would simply say that, in my experience, the vast majority of UM elders who are professors (and the profs I know who are in other denominations) are already doing the things you suggest. Elders in extension ministries are required to relate to a charge conference and submit a report each year. What the D.S.'s and bishops do with those is another question altogether.\nAlex Tracy\nI do agree that ordained professors should have a close relationship with a local congregation. I don't know how things are elsewhere, but in my context (United) it is normal and expected for our faculty to be a part of a church.\nWhen I was looking towards doctoral studies I ran into the exact kind of conversations you name in my DCOM. It's as if anyone who feels called to be an elder is only allowed, while undertaking the Process, to say they are called to be parish pastors. Anyone who cannot or will not say they will be appointed wherever as a pastor should thus be a deacon. My friends, this should not be. My own, more general thoughts on the Process are listed below (I was just ordained in June myself). Thanks for your thoughts. http://pastormack.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/cumbersome-by-design-thoughts-on-the-process/\nReally good post, Drew. Thanks for sharing it.\nTaylor Walters Denyer January 23, 2014 at 11:11 AM\nYour experience touches a raw nerve for me, so I'll simply say that yours is not an isolated experience. Thankfully, there are boards of ordained ministry outside the USA with broader views on what it means to be a pastor.\nRev. Taylor Denyer\nElder, The UMC's North Katanga Conference\nWow. Never thought about how this might work outside the USA. I am glad you've found a supportive conference that recognizes your gifts.\nEvan Rohrs-Dodge January 23, 2014 at 1:17 PM\nI've (so far) had an encouraging, meaningful journey along this process. I went from inquiring as a candidate to commissioning in the order of elder in 4 years (that included seminary), and, from what I've gathered from colleagues, that is remarkably quick. Part of why I believe I've fared so well (while being surrounded by others' horror stories about the process) is because I've been very clear about my call to local church ministry; I know that is where God has given me gifts and graces. I could tell that was what my dCOM and BOOM were looking for - an articulation of a local church ministry call, NOT to an extension ministry or to higher education. To me, that is a betrayal of Wesley's vision of the world as the parish.\nEvan, not sure what you're trying to get across in your last sentence. Can you say a little more about this?\nHi David. What I mean is to try to limit ordination to those called to local church ministry ONLY and not freely extending that to those who are called to extension ministries, theological education, etc, is, in my opinion, to betray John Wesley's understanding of the world as the parish.\nThanks for clarifying, Evan. Makes a lot of sense and I certainly agree with you.\nSky McCracken January 23, 2014 at 2:23 PM\nNailed it. We really don't know - theologically - what we're doing when we ordain someone.\nWell, I think that's the heart of the matter. More clarity on this issue would help a great deal.\nWillie Deuel January 23, 2014 at 4:13 PM\nHere's my long-form response.\nhttp://williedeuel.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/the-united-methodist-ordination-process-picking-at-old-wounds/\nThanks for your thoughtful response, Willie. I am sorry your experience was so difficult. That sounds really, really bad. I hope your post-ordination experience is going better.\nWillie Deuel January 23, 2014 at 10:48 PM\nMy post-ordination experience has been much better. I would love to serve on the BoOM to help make necessary changes, but my friends on the \"inside\" also tell me how frustrating it is.\nSomeday we will put people ahead of processes. I hope.\nUlysses Castillo January 23, 2014 at 4:49 PM\nAs a person who has served on BOOM in my conference (not Ohio), I can tell you that one of the \"informal\" criteria we consider is this: a bishop can appoint you ANYWHERE in his episcopal area. You might *want* to be a seminary professor. But you might end up appointed to a rural congregation. That's just the reality of itineracy in the UMC. So, one of the thoughts going on in the back of our heads is, \"can this person serve effectively wherever the bishop might send him/her?\" Yes, this often means well-rounded individuals with gifts in many areas: intellectual, pastoral, administrative, theological, and more. Yes, you are right there often isn't black-and-white criteria for ordination. There shouldn't be. Ordination isn't about checking off all the right boxes. In that, it is very unlike seminary where the goal is to get an 'A' in class. It is, as you state, about calling and gifting. And the process necessarily involves wisdom, prayer and discernment--a lot more grey than black-and-white. But our conference really does try hard to be clear on what we think are a candidate's gifts and growing edges and where they might need to spend some extra effort as the process moves. I do think that our conference could/ought to do more to support that \"in between\" the interviews.\nThank you for this response, Ulysses. You make some very good points. I'm glad to hear that your conference puts so much effort into the discernment process.\nIf in your Conference, \"ordination isn't about checking off all the right boxes,\" then your Conference is the exception, not the rule.\nThanks for this article. I've been discerning my entry into the process, and have often been told that there are a certain answers I have to give to be accepted into/to be successful in the process. In other words, I may find myself stretching the truth in order to live out God's call for my life. I personally feel one usually doesn't have to do something wrong (i.e., fib) to do God's will. I understand a need for uniformity of belief, in a way, but this seems to eliminate the space for free thought and progress and newness. If the UMC keeps squelching its powerful thinkers, it will lose in the long run.\nDavid F. Watson January 28, 2014 at 10:32 PM\nI certainly hope that we don't create a scenario in which people will feel the need to be dishonest. I would encourage honesty and transparency among candidates. There is, however, a question of whether one's own theological convictions cohere with the UMC's doctrinal framework. This is actually a very important matter, and I would also hope that candidates would ask themselves this question before coming before the board.\nPastor Gary Taylor January 24, 2014 at 12:01 AM\nI enjoyed your comments and learned quite a bit. I came up through a different route as a Local Licensed Pastor. After completing Course of Study I chose NOT to pursue ordination, as it would have required 4 or 5 years of Advanced Course of Study and 2 to 3 years as provisional elder. Instead, I chose to apply to be an Associate Member of the Conference (Minnesota). I serve as an itinerant pastor, am guaranteed appointments, and receive the same salary and benefits as elders with some minor restrictions that don't mean much to me, like not being able to be a delegate to General Conference. I did most of the work provisional elders did without too much oversight by BOOM and one day of interviews by them. The entire process took 9 months from the time I applied to the Annual Conference that made me an AM. Perhaps the ordination process should be more like my Associate Membership process. Just my thought.\nThanks for your insights, Pastor Gary. I'm really glad you've found a path in ministry that is a good fit for you.\nBob Nichols, District Lay Leader January 24, 2014 at 8:47 AM\nI am not a member of the clergy but I am an engineer and land surveyor. I did serve as the district lay leader for 7 years and served on the DCOM for 7 years. I also preach at a small church on the 1st and 3rd Sundays each month. I have taught engineering and surveying course at the local university. One of the main problems with the clergy, as well as the engineering and surveying professions, is trying to determine is someone is qualified by educational requirements, testing, and interviews. Just because someone has the courses required, can pass the tests, and can answer the right questions does not mean they will be a good pastor, engineer, surveyor, doctor, lawyer, etc. I have seen many local pastors who do a much better job than some ordained elders. Sometimes I wonder if some of our professional requirements are to protect the public or to protect ourselves. BTW David, my grandfather was a pastor in the West Ohio Conference.\nBob, thanks for your comments. I think there should be some clear criteria that serve as gateway requirements, but I basically agree with what you're saying. Discernment is not a hard science.\nD. Lynn January 28, 2014 at 8:44 AM\nIf you are called to teach and not lead a congregation, why not be ordained a deacon?\nWell, one reason would be that a local congregation is not the only place in which we need sacramental authority.\njourneyman37 January 29, 2014 at 2:07 PM\nAnother would be elders are charged with ordering the life of the whole church. That ordering role is also not limited to what happens in local congregations. It involves a commitment (and also the training and ongoing accountability) to a common good that at once transcends and makes possible the more local good a congregation, or a campus ministry, or even something as specific as a Covenant Discipleship Group may pursue.\nJohn Partridge January 30, 2014 at 11:12 AM\nDavid, I too recently completed the path to Full Elder and was ordained at Annual Conference in June 2013. I often laugh at how we say we want to attract \"younger clergy\" when \"the process\" for me, took nearly ten years (and in our conference, I am not atypical). Worse, because I was serving in a student pastorate while attending seminary, nearly all of those ten years were spent in pulpit ministry. I often attribute my ability to stay the course and press on through the process to the ten years I spent in the Army Reserve. There we called it \"playing the game\" when we simply had to follow \"the rules\" from point 'A' to point 'B' so that we could accomplish what we had set out to do.\nThe most distressing part was not the process, or the delays, or the assignments, or the various time requirements, but the number of quality people that I met along the way in seminary and elsewhere who were clearly called to ministry, but who, for various reasons, dropped out (or were tossed out) of the process and ended up as ordained pastors in other denominations (some of them *years* ahead of me).\nOne was called to youth ministry, but knowing that Elders will quickly be \"promoted\" away from youth, dropped out of the process even though seminary trained and had advanced through to provisional membership. Another felt clearly called to urban ministry, but despite many urban pastorates, was repeatedly appointed to rural congregations. He left when another denomination offered him an urban apprenticeship. Still another, near retirement, spent ten years (or more) taking seminary classes one or two at a time but never applied for ordination because she knew that in her conference (not mine) an ordained pastor would be moved away from the small rural churches she felt called to serve. A close friend left because his conference (again not mine) demanded personal financial information. Because he was a family member, and thus part owner, of a family construction business, he was not at liberty to reveal all of his holdings, but was willing to have his accountant produce documents declaring that he was not in debt, etc. That wasn't good enough for someone, and so now he, and his wife, are ordained Baptist ministers. And yet another friend advanced to provisional membership, grew his church, was beloved by his congregation, his SPR committee sang his praises to the BoOM, but was discontinued. I did not hear the official reason, but the rumors (from mutual friends) were that his writings were not \"sufficiently academic.\" Perhaps the reverse of your problem. I know that our BoOm is filled with wonderful and faithful people, many of whom are my friends, but I fear that the process is deeply flawed in a variety of ways. I know that we must be discerning, but I fear that we are driving off many of those we so desperately want to retain.\nDavid F. Watson February 4, 2014 at 9:48 AM\nWow, John. Thanks for posting this. I hate to hear of all these good people leaving the UMC. We really need an overhaul of our process.\nSandy Harlan January 31, 2014 at 9:49 AM\nThere are almost as many experiences as there are candidates (or conferences). As one who works at the conference level overseeing candidacy, it's a daunting responsibility. Anyone can claim to be \"called\". Our task is to determine if the call they've experienced is in line with who we are as United Methodists. And therein lies the problem. We are not \"united\" in what we believe, or how we interpret Scripture and doctrine.\nAs for the meaning of \"ordination\", a primary piece of that for me is accountability. I intentionally placed myself in a position where my call is no longer just between \"me and God\",but includes being held accountable by the leadership and peers of the denomination, structure, institution, etc. wherein I have chosen to live out my call. For me, it is the United Methodist Church.\nThanks for your reply, Sandy. I agree with you: once you are ordained, it is no longer just between you and God.\nTHE PASTOR BY STEVE FINNELL\nWas there ever and office of, The Pastor, approved of or mentioned in New Testament Scripture? No, there was not. There was no single pastor appointed as the authority over any local church congregation.\nThe word pastor is mention one time. (Ephesians 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, (NKJV)\nEphesians 4:11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, (ESV)\nPastors were shepherds. Bishops, elders, and overseers are one and the same; and they were the pastors or shepherds.\n1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; (NKJV)\n1 Timothy 3:2 So an elder must be a man whose life is above reproach. He must be faithful to his wife. He must exercise self-control, live wisely, and have a good reputation. He must enjoy having guests in his home, and he must be able to teach. (New Living Bible)\n1 Timothy 3:2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, (New International Version)\nTitus 1:5-7....appoint elders in every city....7 For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, (NKJV)\nTitus 1:7 Since an overseer manages God's households, he must be blameless--not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.(NIV)\nTitus 1:7 An elder is a manager of God's household, so he must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker, violent, or dishonest with money. (NLT)\nActs 20:17,28 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church. 28 \"Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. (NKJV)\nActs 20:28 Pay attention to yourselves and to the entire flock in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as bishops to be shepherdsfor God's church which he acquired with his own blood. (God's Word-Translation)\nNotice that the apostle Paul called for the elders (plural), he did call for The Pastor (singular).\nActs 14:23 So when they had appointed elders in every church,and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.\nThe apostle Paul and Barnabas appointed elders (plural) in every church congregation. They did not appoint a pastor (singular) in every church congregation.\nElders, bishops, and overseers are the same office and their responsibilities were to pastor or shepherd the individual church congregations.\nTHERE WAS NO SINGLE PASTOR WHO HAD AUTHORITY OVER A INDIVIDUAL CHURCH CONGREGATION.\nMen today like to called Reverend Pastor.\nReverend means awesome. So they want you to refer to them as Awesome Pastor.\nPsalms 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. (KJV)\nThe Lord has earned the right to be called reverend (awesome).\nIs there any man that has earned the right to be called Reverend (awesome) Pastor?\nTHE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES ONLY MENTION A PLURALITY OF ELDERS IN CHURCH CONGREGATIONS.\nMEN HAVE INVENTED THE REVEREND PASTOR (SINGULAR) AND HAVE PLACE HIM IN AUTHORITY IN LOCAL CHURCH CONGREGATIONS.\nJennifer Wyant July 25, 2014 at 4:15 PM\nI'm currently in the candidacy process (elder track) and am attempting to navigate a system that seems skeptical of my call to academic ministry (currently NT PhD student, Emory). Most conversations I have had with the powers that be have either a) attempted to convince me to be a deacon or b) argued that I need to be in full time parish ministry for several years in order to be taken seriously (currently, I'm trying to balance part-time church work with my academic work. Most days it works. But full-time would clearly be impossible).\nI really appreciated your thoughts here as they have helped me to better articulate some of my frustrations and gave me some alternative ways to describe the importance of sacramental authority in extension ministries. Do you have any other advice for a young academic trying to follow her call within the United Methodist Church?",

        "raw_content": "Decision Regarding Leave to Amend Indictment - 19.12.2003 KAREMERA et al.\n(ICTR-98-44-AR73 )\n13. The third point considered by the Trial Chamber was delay. This factor arises from Article 20(4)(c) of the Statute of the International Tribunal, which entitles all accused before the International Tribunal to be \u201ctried without undue delay,\u201d and is unquestionably an appropriate factor to consider in determining whether to grant leave to amend an indictment. Guidance in interpreting Article 20(4)(c) can be found in the ICTY case of Prosecutor v. Kova\u010devi\u0107,[1] in which the Trial Chamber refused amendment of an indictment on grounds that included undue delay. The ICTY Appeals Chamber framed the question as \u201cwhether the additional time which the granting of the motion for leave to amend would occasion is reasonable in light of the right of the accused to a fair and expeditious trial.\u201d[2] The ICTY Appeals Chamber noted that the requirement of trial without undue delay, which the Statute of the ICTY expresses in language identical to Article 20(4)(c) of the Statute of the International Tribunal,[3] \u201cmust be interpreted according to the special features of each case.\u201d[4] Additionally, the specific guarantee against undue delay is one of several guarantees that make up the general requirement of a fair hearing, which is expressed in Article 20(2) of the Statute of the International Tribunal and Article 21(2) of the ICTY Statute.[5] \u201c[T]he timeliness of the Prosecutor\u2019s request for leave to amend the Indictment must thus be measured within the framework of the overall requirement of the fairness of the proceedings.\u201d[6]\n14. Kova\u010devi\u0107 stands for the principle that the right of an accused to an expeditious trial under Article 20(4)(c) turns on the circumstances of the particular case and is a facet of the right to a fair trial. This Appeals Chamber made a similar point recently when it stated, albeit in a different context, that \u201c[s]peed, in the sense of expeditiousness, is an element of an equitable trial.\u201d Trial Chambers of the International Tribunal have also used a case-specific analysis similar to that of Kova\u010devi\u0107 in determining whether proposed amendments to an indictment will cause \u201cundue delay.\u201d\n15 [\u2026] [A] Trial Chamber must also examine the effect that the Amended Indictment would have on the overall proceedings. Although amending an indictment frequently causes delay in the short term, the Appeals Chamber takes the view that this procedure can also have the overall effect of simplifying proceedings by narrowing the scope of allegations, by improving the Accused\u2019s and the Tribunal\u2019s understanding of the Prosecution\u2019s case, or by averting possible challenges to the indictment or the evidence presented at trial. The Appeals Chamber finds that a clearer and more specific indictment benefits the accused, not only because a streamlined indictment may result in shorter proceedings, but also because the accused can tailor their preparations to an indictment that more accurately reflects the case they will meet, thus resulting in a more effective defence.\n[1] No. IT-97-24-AR73, Decision Stating Reasons for Appeals Chamber\u2019s Order of 29 May 1998, dated 2 July 1998 (\u201cKova\u010devi\u0107\u201d).\n[3] Statute of the ICTY, Art. 21(4)(c).\n[4] Kova\u010devi\u0107, para. 30.\n[7] Prosecutor v.

        "raw_content": "The Alphajet is a single engine, light attack jet, and advanced jet trainer. It was designed and operated by French and German companies (Dassault and Dornier) in the 1970\u2019s as an improvement to the first generation of fighter jets. The jet was developed with patrol and light attack capabilities in mind.\nDue to post-Cold War cutbacks, Germany sold off its fleet of Alphajets to civilian and international partners/governments. The Alphajets can be seen today filling both military roles (Nigeria, Belgium, and Egypt) and civilian/corporate functions (ie. Redbull).\nB-412CF Outlaw\nThe Bell 412 CF Outlaw is one of the worlds most rugged and reliable twin-engine helicopters, having worked in areas like the Arctic circle all the way to the Arabian Gulf. The helicopter offers good capabilities in all environments, has good durability, and has an expansive cabin for a variety of passengers and cargo storage.\nThe Bell 412 is capable of numerous variations, allowing for upgrades like larger fuel capacities, night vision technology, improved performance, or glass cockpit heads up display.\nCC-115 Buffalo\nCrew: 4 (6 for SAR)\nOriginally developed as a Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) aircraft, the Buffalo is able to carry the same load as a CH-47A helicopter. Its ability to take-off and land in shorter distances than most light aircraft makes it ideal for emergency search and rescue.\nBased out of 19 Wing Comox British Columbia, the CC-115 Buffalo is one of Canada\u2019s primary fixed wing Search and Rescue aircraft. All six of these aircraft flown by the CAF are operated by 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron. The squadron is responsible for the area stretching from the Washington border to the Arctic, and from the Rocky Mountains to 1,200km into the Pacific.\nTop Speed: 1,029km/hr (mach 0.84)\nAlthough originally developed and built for civilian airliners in 1987, the five that were built were subsequently purchased and put into service by the Canadian Forces in 1992. This multi-role aircraft has numerous jobs in the CF, as 4 of the aircraft were fitted as a combination freighter, while the fifth acts as a VIP transport for government executives.\nThe CC-150 Polaris is able to act as a transport, medical bay, passenger aircraft, and as well as an air-to-air re-fueling aircraft for Canada\u2019s fleet of CF-18 Hornets.\nCessna 172SG\nTop Speed: ~300km/hr\nKnown for its popularity, lifespan, and common place in aviation, the Cessna 172 has been called the most successful aircraft in history with more than 44,000 built since 1956 and still remains in production today.\nThe Cessna 172 is a well-known civilian utility aircraft, and this model-G from 1966 was introduced with a more defined and pointed nose cone compared to the standard model. These aircraft are popular mainly to their reliability, as well as their ability to be easily modified to fit environments (standard landing gear, snow skids, and water floats).\nCT-114 Canadair Tutor\nThis single turbojet engine aircraft is a Canadian Air Force icon. It was originally used in the 1960\u2019s to train our student pilots, however was replaced in the 2000\u2019s by the CT-156 Harvard and the CT-155 Hawk. The aircraft is known for its aerobatic ability, being able to make steep 2G turns at 25,000ft.\nThe reason for the Canadair\u2019s status as an icon is for its current use as the aircraft flown by 431 Squadron\u2019s Snowbirds. The tutors flown by the Snowbirds are slightly upgraded, with a superior engine to enable higher performance flying at lower altitudes for better aerobatics.\nCT-142 Dash-8\nProduced by Bombardier, the Dash-8 is a series of twin-engine, medium-range, turboprop airliner. The CT-142 variant was repurposed by Bombardier for navigation training for the CAF in the late 1980\u2019s. The large nose of the aircraft is where the radar system is housed.\nThe aircraft is based out of 17 Wing in Winnipeg Manitoba, allowing for the training of Air Combat System Officers (ACSO) and Airborne Electronic Sensor Operators.\nTop Speed: 2,120km/hr (mach 2)\nRange: 4,220km (with droptanks)\nThe F-16 Fighting Falcon was first developed by General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) as an air superiority day fighter. However, it has been developed and shown to be one of the world\u2019s best all-weather multirole aircraft. This aircraft was first built and sold to the United States Air Force (USAF), but can be found throughout many nations\u2019 air forces, such as Turkey, Pakistan, Belgium, Netherlands, etc.\nDue to the aircrafts abilities as a multirole aircraft, it can be armed with a multitude of weapons varying from rockets and bombs, to air-to-air/air-to-surface/anti-ship missiles.",

In the U.S. \u201c\u2026traditional socio-economic differences persist when looking at how students use their time online, and they continue to have a strong impact on performance in reading. Indeed in all countries, advantaged students are significantly more likely to use their time on line to read news or obtain practical information.

With the advent of email, writing ability has become more important than ever, and writing deficiencies have become increasingly apparent. Surely one reason that so many Americans lack writing skills is that, for decades, most U.S. schools haven\u2019t taught them. In 2011, a nationwide test found that only 24 percent of students in eighth and 12th grades were proficient in writing, and just 3 percent were advanced.

        "raw_content": "Kyra Zagorsky Talks HELIX, What Drew Her to the Series, How She Views Her Character, Shooting in the Studio, Challenging Aspects of the Role and More\nThe Syfy series Helix is an intense thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control, who travel to a high-tech research facility to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that could result in mankind\u2019s salvation or total annihilation. The show stars Billy Campbell, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kyra Zagorsky, Mark Ganim\u00e9, Jordan Hayes, Meegwun Fairbrother, Catherine Lemieux and Neil Napier.\nDuring this recent interview to promote the new sci-fi show, actress Kyra Zagorsky, who plays Dr. Julia Walker, talked about what makes this more than a zombie show, what drew her to the series, how she views this woman, how she\u2019s had to discover everything, as they go along, shooting entirely in a studio, what\u2019s most freaked her out on set, and the most challenging aspects of this role. Check out what she had to say after the jump, and be aware that there are some spoilers.\nQuestion: What makes this show more than a zombie show?\nKYRA ZAGORSKY: Since the show is based in real science, there are real-life epidemic scares out there, throughout history, where there are these huge viruses that have wiped out huge populations. So, we\u2019re dealing with something that the CDC hasn\u2019t seen before, but it comes from a virus. That\u2019s something that\u2019s based in reality, and then you put the science fiction on that and it\u2019s a really interesting combination.\nWhat do you like best about this series?\nZAGORSKY: I love the psychological thriller piece of it. Because we are trapped in this isolated environment with a deadly virus, what\u2019s really interesting is that everyone\u2019s darkness comes out because we\u2019ve got these life-and-death stakes going on. And then, there\u2019re these interesting relationships going on, but we can\u2019t quite deal with the relationship right now because we\u2019ve got something better to do, which is survive. But, it takes some of the characters to some very dark places, and they start doing things that they might not do, if they were in regular circumstances. Their true humanity comes out \u2013 the good and the bad. Something else that was fun was that every director would come in so excited to go with their own creativity. Sometimes directors get hired into TV shows, and it\u2019s so formulaic and they\u2019re a slave to whatever everybody wants them to do. But everyone came in with their own style, and it blended together with the Helix style that was set, and at the same time, they\u2019re bringing their own ideas and their own input. It was really fun working with all of them.\nWhat made you want to play this character, and how do you see this woman?\nZAGORSKY: Well, I would describe her as a very intelligent, accomplished woman in her field. She\u2019s one of the top scientists with the CDC. And the thing that I loved about this character is that she was incredibly ambitious and got herself to where she is in this line of work, but she exists for purposes outside of her relationships, which I think is a really important thing for female characters in film and TV. Although she is the ex-wife of Dr. Alan Farragut, that\u2019s not at all what her purpose is in the series. She\u2019s there because she\u2019s trying to deal with this virus and do her work, as a scientist. She\u2019s passionate about her work. She\u2019s an independent woman, and she does have her flaws in her relationships. She\u2019s just a very full, human character, and that\u2019s what I really loved about her. Because sometimes when we\u2019re creating strong females, we give them a weapon and turn them into something macho, or often it has to be a superhero character, or else she has to be a full-on business person and has to be cruel. And there is something about this character that I just thought, \u201cShe\u2019s a full-bodied human character. She\u2019s got a lot of purpose outside of her ex-husband, and that\u2019s what keeps her active and interesting.\u201d It\u2019s a dream role. There\u2019s so much that I have to go through, emotionally, physically and intellectually. It\u2019s the whole package. So, I couldn\u2019t be happier, being able to work on this show.\nDid you know ahead of time what your character\u2019s outcome would be, or did you have to discover it, episode by episode?\nZAGORSKY: I had to discover it. I had to discover everything, and that was part of the fun in being on the show. It was so exciting. You could not wait to get your next script to see what was going to happen to you. The only information I got was that I had a history with Alan and with his brother, Peter. By the time I was working through the third episode, that was when I really felt I\u2019d gotten myself grounded into the character. I feel like when I find the character\u2019s darkness, and when everything opens up emotionally, is when I started going, \u201cOkay, now I\u2019m starting to really feel like I\u2019ve got a handle on her.\u201d And what was great is, when I first got up to Montreal, we had a talk and I just realized, \u201cThis is my role. I have no idea what\u2019s to come, but I have to just trust that I\u2019m her and start working with her.\u201d When a new script would come out and I had questions about things, I would always ask about things, just figuring out what her character is made of. It became a really interesting team collaboration. It was pretty incredible. But, it was all a big surprise for me. They took me for a great ride, in this series. I had the best time. Every episode was pretty dynamic.\nWhat\u2019s it like to work with Billy Campbell and Hiroyuki Sanada, and what do they bring to the table?\nZAGORSKY: Oh, my gosh, working with Billy is incredible. He\u2019s technically amazing. He\u2019s been doing this for a long time. He\u2019s a master at what he does. He\u2019s very emotionally connected, and always available and powerful. The other thing about him is that he\u2019s a blast to work with. He\u2019s so funny. For me, the thing that I love about the show is the psychological thriller aspect of it. It\u2019s frightening and it\u2019s scary, and there are all these things that happen. You have these really dramatic scenes, and then you get in a scene with him and I can\u2019t tell you how many times I would start cracking up. And Hiro is somebody that I\u2019ve always admired, since I saw him in The Last Samurai. I think he\u2019s an incredible person and artist, and he is always right there for you, supporting the story to its fullest. He was amazing. I learned so much from just being in the room with him. They just raised the bar for me. As an actor, you\u2019re only as good as your scene partner. Anything that I do well on this show is probably from being in scenes with those two. It was a pretty exceptional experience.\nIs this shot entirely in a studio?\nZAGORSKY: Yes, and it was pretty incredible. We had a room that we called \u201cthe freezer.\u201d If you were shooting in the freezer that day, that was a joke. The fake snow looks incredible. The only thing that was tricky is that it was supposed to be freezing and we had these huge arctic coats on. There were a couple of times that we did end up moving the set outside to shoot some of the outside scenes, just because we needed a bit more space, and that ended up being a little bit more helpful and easier to breathe, when you\u2019re dealing with some of the fake snow stuff. It was a lot of fun, and it looks amazing.\nHow do you not get claustrophobic, when it comes to what you\u2019re doing with the story?\nZAGORSKY: I think the other side of that is embracing the claustrophobia, and that\u2019s what a huge piece of this show is, just watching people go through having to be stuck in that. I think the audience is going to feel some of that. It might not be comfortable, but it\u2019s really cool to just be experiencing that along with the characters that you\u2019re watching.\nWas there ever a time during filming where things just freaked you out?\nZAGORSKY: Yes, especially with the first couple of episodes. There are a lot of twists and turns that happen, and it starts to become something much bigger and much darker and more interesting. But in the beginning, when you\u2019re looking at this and you\u2019re thinking about it, the CDC gets brought up to this place to deal with this virus and it\u2019s something that they\u2019ve never seen. That, in itself, is quite frightening in a story because real-life epidemics are something that happen, all the time. I think there were just a couple of reported cases this last week in Vancouver of some people passing away with H1N1. People are trying to make decisions about whether they should vaccinate their children or not, which is still a big debate. It\u2019s something that is a true fear for people. So, when we were getting into the story, in these first few episodes, and you\u2019re seeing these people who are at the top of the CDC, they should have every answer. It\u2019s almost like a God complex. But, they don\u2019t know what to do. I think that\u2019s pretty terrifying. When we didn\u2019t know what was going to be happening next, as an actor, with where the story was going to go, that\u2019s an interesting thing because you just think, \u201cI have no idea what I can do. How much worse can it get? At some point, this is going to get everyone sick and we don\u2019t have any answers.\u201d That\u2019s pretty frightening because that\u2019s total annihilation of the whole planet. You\u2019re also getting this information that you want to study and you want to sound educated when you\u2019re in the scene and know what it is that you\u2019re talking about and what it is that we\u2019re working from. So, for those of us that were working on that stuff in the show, we\u2019re doing a lot of research, which is fun. It\u2019s like going back to science class.\nWhat\u2019s been the most challenging thing about doing this role?\nZAGORSKY: There\u2019s a certain piece, in the middle of the series, that\u2019s a huge mystery that happens to my character, and we were shooting quite fast. That was the most challenging piece because I was emotionally connected, all day, over and over again. Every day, there was so much going on that it just kept getting worse and worse, and more insane for her. But, it was so much fun and I really had to rise to the occasion.\nHelix airs on Friday nights on Syfy.\nTeaser Trailer for Sundance Entry LISTEN UP, PHILIP Starring Jason Schwartzman and\u2026\nMarvel's AGENT CARTER TV Series Adds REAPER Creators Tara Butters and Michele\u2026\n\u2022 Helix \u2022 Interview \u2022 Kyra Zagorsky \u2022 TV Interview",

It is as old as the hills\u2014or Aristotle. That set of goals was probably more important than cognitive goals to the headmasters of Eton and Harrow when the Duke of Wellington went to school there. Self-discipline, teamwork, leadership and moral development were said to be the whole point of playing English rugby, which is why the Duke was famously but erroneously quoted as saying that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of his alma mater.",

        "title": "How to Design Effective & Beautiful Signage \u2013 New York Printing & Signs Company",
        "raw_content": "Starting a business takes a lot of work. There are so many things that you have to do, including thinking of a business name, a domain name, a logo design, a website design, getting business cards, and more. You have to find the correct location for your business as well. When all is said and done, have you thought of that one thing that your customer notices first? Well, it\u2019s your sign! Your sign is what gets the unsaid message across to your clients. But more often than not, businesses mess it up. You\u2019ll be surprised to know that quite a number of signs are designed to be less than effective. We have highlighted some of the common mistakes in this article to help you avoid them when it\u2019s time for you to design the perfect sign for your business.\nSimple is the word. It\u2019s highly recommended that you keep your logo as simple as possible. Your logo should be decipherable, not blurry. The shape associated with your brand should be recognizable. Another common mistake that entrepreneurs usually make is taking an image for a logo. If you\u2019re using an image as your logo, you need to know that it\u2019s a brand asset, not a logo. Get a third opinion and have a creative person who is not related to your brand examine your logo. In all probability, he will tell you that there isn\u2019t any proper thought seen behind it.\nWe all know that there are contrasting colors and complementary colors. In your signage, you should get the letters to contrast with the background that they\u2019re applied to or mounted on. Do remember that contrast isn\u2019t about clashing. The colors of your letters should be such that they stand out against the background. However, they shouldn\u2019t look obnoxiously flashy or garish at all.\nWe\u2019ve got to break it to you: Using fancy fonts doesn\u2019t make your sign any more legible. If you want your clients to know what you\u2019re saying, it\u2019s best to choose a classic font. It doesn\u2019t matter if your business deals with fancy things. You should never choose a font that is too scripted or too playful because it may very well be illegible. For example, Papyrus or Comic Sans should never be an option.\nThe worst signage design mistake you can make is not taking any measurements at all! Signs lose their charm when there is no space at the end. The letters that started at a distance begin getting closer towards the end and get wrapped awkwardly. This may lead to other subtleties going unnoticed. Have you ever noticed that the letter \u201cW\u201d nestles closer to letter \u201cA\u201d than the letter \u201cL\u201d? Taking note of these minor details can make a significant difference in your sign. Do remember that any viewer who sees a sign with these design errors may find your sign to be rather odd-looking.\nBefore you get your sign, it is necessary to measure the area where you\u2019ll be installing or mounting the sign. Size the lettering according to the area. This will lead to a balance of negative space around the letters.\nIt\u2019s summer, and you\u2019ve found a great place to hang your sign. But what about winter? What if that beautiful tree gets covered by snow and ends up hiding your sign? Always select a location that has good visibility throughout the year.\nDon\u2019t Forget To Order It\nIt is quite plausible that you get so wrapped up with the opening events and such that you forget to even order your signage design. More people do this than you\u2019d think. Don\u2019t be one of them! Your sign is your businesses identity so it is important that you get one before opening day.\nYou\u2019ve got your logo, website, and other imagery all in place. That\u2019s a great start to your branding! However, you must pay equal attention to your signage design. You probably have no idea what wonders an attractive physical front on your store can do for your brand\u2019s image!\nAre you looking for a modern, affordable signage printing service in NYC?

        "raw_content": "Salamanders are among the animals which make up the Kingdom Amphibia, especially the order Caudata. There are approximately 400-500 species known worldwide and some of them are mostly found in the temperate lands of tropical South, Central America and all over the Northern hemisphere. Before, salamanders have spread out in areas like British Columbia and central Labrador. If you wish to find out more about them, then below are some of the fascinating facts about salamanders.\nAverage Size and Life Span\nSalamanders vary in dimensions. Some might only get to the size of 3.9 cm while others may reach up to the magnitude of 180 cm. Among the smallest salamanders is the 4-toed salamander (Hemidactylium scutatum) that just reaches 5-9 cm. On the other hand, among the largest is the mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) that may reach a length of 43 cm. Salamander\u2019s life span also changes. The Chinese giant salamander can live for about 52 years while other salamanders may only reach a year or two.\nSalamanders closely resemble the lizards. That is the main reason they\u2019re typically mistaken as lizards. However, salamanders do not have the characteristics that lizards have. For example, salamanders do not have claws. Also, they have moist skin compared to lizards that have dry, Cocoa Opossum Removal and scaly skin.\nNormally, salamanders can not hear sounds; rather, they depend on the vibrations that they sense in the environment. These animals are also voiceless, even though some species have the capability to produce soft squeaks. A number of those species breathe through their set of nostrils, while others breathe through gills or skin, or at times in conjunction. They frequently have movable eyelids and fine teeth. Their heart includes 2 atria and one ventricle, making it a 3-chambered organ.\nSalamanders hibernate every year so as to survive. Since they cannot endure extremely cold temperatures, they will need to dig underground. Aquatic salamanders are generally active at any given time of the year while terrestrial salamanders are only active during night time, or when the land is moist or damp. Temperate seasons or warm period may immediately cause them dehydration.\nThere are two ways on how the eggs of the salamanders can be fertilized. It can be through external or internal fertilization. Internally, the male will fall jellylike capsule of sperms and the female will eventually take these sperms through the lips of the cloaca. The eggs are fertilized as they\u2019re pushed out.\nNormally, salamanders are carnivorous. Bigger salamanders are fond of eating earthworms and larvae of insects. Smaller species like small insects and small invertebrates while salamander larvae eat tadpoles.\nImportance in the Environment\nSalamanders are thought of as great advantage in the area of agriculture and forest industry since they consume harmful insects which may destroy crops and plants. Without them, a break in the food chain can happen and problems associated with plant industry may come up.\nSalamanders today are continuously decreasing in quantity because a great deal of universities and research labs catch them and make them subjects in their studies. That is why local laws are protecting these salamanders so as to keep their numbers in the wild. Take your part in the campaign of saving salamanders.

        "raw_content": "Trump used his speech to promote more intervention and to praise governments doing so, while rejecting the ideals and mission of the United Nations.\nU.S. President Donald Trump praised right-wing and authoritarian governments around the world including Saudi Arabia, Israel, the right-wing Modi government of India, while promoting his economic war of sanctions against Venezuela and Iran, and bragging about his administration's push for more military spending, furthering neo-liberal policies, trade war with China, crackdown on immigration, as well as rejecting the legitimacy of the International Criminal Court.\nRELATED: UN Chief Kicks Off UNGA, Warns Leaders of 'Increasingly Chaotic' World Order\n\u201cWe have passed the biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history. We have started the construction of a major border wall, and we have greatly strengthened border security. We have secured record funding for the military \u2014 $700 billion this year, and $716 billion next year. Our military will soon be more powerful than it has ever been before,\u201d Trump said.\nHis comments on more military spending, at the very organization that was founded to promote peace in the world after World War Two, came before he bragged about cutting funds to countries and organizations that do not align with his government's policies. In recent months, Washington cut funds to several U.N. organizations including those helping Palestinian refugees and proposing human and women's rights.\nTrump also attacked the International Criminal Court, in which a lawsuit is being processed against U.S. crimes in Afghanistan and said that the court did not have \"legitimacy, jurisdiction or authority\" over the world, and that \"we will never surrender America\u2019s sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable, global bureaucracy.\"\nTrump also used his speech to attack the leaders of the Iranian government, just days after a terrorist attack took place in the capital. \"Iran's leaders sow chaos, death and destruction,\" Trump told the annual gathering. \"They do not respect their neighbors or borders or the sovereign rights of nations,\" while praising Saudi Arabia and Israel despite their proven pro-war policies in Syria and Yemen, and Palestine.\nTrump called for international trade reforms and insisted that his main objective as president is to protect American sovereignty. He called on OPEC to stop raising oil prices and criticized China's trade practices.\nTrump also prompted murmurs from the crowd of world leaders and diplomats when he declared that he had accomplished more as president than almost any other administration in history. \"I didn\u2019t expect that reaction, but that's okay,\" he said.\nTrump praised North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday for his courage in taking some steps to disarm, but said much work needed to be done and sanctions must remain in place on North Korea until it denuclearizes.\n\"The missiles and rockets are no longer flying in every direction, nuclear testing has stopped, some military facilities are already being dismantled,\" Trump said in his speech to the annual United Nations General Assembly.\n\"I would like to thank Chairman Kim for his courage and for the steps he has taken, though much work remains to be done,\" Trump said. \"The sanctions will stay in place until denuclearization occurs.\"\nTrump's remarks on North Korea were dramatically different to those in his speech last year at the U.N. assembly, when he threatened to \"totally destroy\" North Korea and mocked the North Korean leader as a \"Rocket Man\" on a \"suicide mission.\"\n@telesurenglish Ant\u00f3nio Guterres opens the UN General Assembly with an appeal against war, inequality and racism.\nCuba rejects OAS remarks on Cuba's democratic system\nCuba rejected on Tuesday recent statements made by Luis Almagro, secretary-general of the Organization of America States (OAS), on the island's democratic system, saying he had no \"credibility\" to speak about Cuba.\nSpeaking to local media, Rogelio Sierra, Cuba's deputy foreign minister, stated Almagro's remarks about Cuba were made in Miami city in U.S. Florida state where he met with a group of people who \"defend, support and encourage aggressive actions\" against Cuba, including terrorism and the U.S. economic blockade.\n\"Almagro has no credibility, moral or ethics, to judge what the Cuban government and its people do. He makes a big mistake in ignoring our decision to be sovereign and independent,\" said Sierra.\nThe OAS official visited Miami last Saturday to visit a Cuban dissident group. He used the occasion to call for \"democratic reforms\" and demanded that Havana hold Western-style elections to choose its next leader as actual president, Raul Castro, will step down in April.\nHavana's deputy foreign minister pointed out that Almagro tried to delegitimize Cuba's sovereignty and independence to decide its political system while supporting \"illegal opposition groups and their allies in the U.S.\"\n\"He met in Miami with a sector of the Cuban community in the United States, which still dreams of overthrowing the Revolution. On the contrary, he has not said a word about recent remarks made by the U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, who supported a military coup against Venezuela,\" said Sierra.\nDespite being a founding member of the OAS, Cuba was suspended in 1962. In June 2009, foreign ministers of OAS member countries lifted Cuba's suspension.\nHavana, however, has reiterated it would not return to the OAS.\nInternet is latest arena for U.S. intervention in Cuba\nThe State Department announced January 23 that it \u201cis convening a Cuba Internet Task Force composed of U.S. government and non-governmental representatives to promote the free and unregulated flow of information in Cuba. The task force will examine the technological challenges and opportunities for expanding internet access and independent media in Cuba.\u201d\nThe action was in line with President Trump\u2019s memorandum in June 2017 on \u201cStrengthening the Policy of the United States toward Cuba.\u201d It conforms also with the Defense Department\u2019s recently released \u201cNational Defense Strategy,\u201d which indicates that \u201cToday every domain is contested\u2014air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace.\u201d\nIn notes delivered to the U.S. embassy in Havana and to the State Department in Washington, Cuba\u2019s Foreign Ministry rejected U.S. \u201cpretensions of flagrantly violating Cuban sovereignty,\u201d and demanded \u201cagain that the U.S. government end its subversive, meddling, and illegal actions which are attacks on Cuba\u2019s stability and constitutional order.\u201d\nThe task force is by no means an innovation. For decades the U.S. government has flooded Cuba with propaganda aimed at turning Cubans away from their government. With facilities on the Swan Islands, near the Honduran coast, the CIA\u2019s Radio Swan began broadcasts to Cuba in 1960. The Reagan administration in 1981 set up a task force whose job was to prepare for broadcasts from Miami. Radio Mart\u00ed commenced operations in 1985, TV Mart\u00ed in 1990.\nUnder the authority of the Helms-Burton Law of 1996, which called for building a political opposition in Cuba, the Clinton administration expanded propaganda operations in order \u201cto open Cuba\u2019s closed system and promote the growth of an independent civil society.\u201d Changes in messaging would henceforth center on the internet.\nU.S. agencies sought \u201cto offer Cubans interactive access to materials from abroad\u201d and to connect internet platforms in the United States with networks in Cuba. The U.S. Interests Section in Havana, precursor to the present embassy, offered courses to Cubans on managing the internet and blogs.\nThere were special projects. For example, the \u201cZunZuneo\u201d scheme of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2009 sought to bombard Cuban young people with direct messages through a program similar to Twitter. The Office for Cuba Broadcasting mounted its \u201cPiramideo\u201d program through which in 2011 a contractor sent 24,000 text messages each week to Cubans, having immobilized Cuban barriers beforehand. \u201cProject Commotion\u201d provided specialized equipment for dissidents active on the internet, thus enabling them to communicate easily with supporters abroad.\nThroughout the entire era of shifting modalities, millions of dollars in funding were dispersed among U.S. agencies charged with implementing the interventionist programs.\nThe Obama administration continued in the same vein. In the wake of its opening to Cuba in late 2014, the U.S. telecommunications industry gained approval for establishing commercial ties with Cuban enterprises. For almost all other sectors of the U.S. economy, commercial relations in Cuba remained off limits.\nOf the $20 million the U.S. government was spending annually on winning friends in Cuba, Obama\u2019s administration dedicated a large portion to digital projects. Speaking to the press on December 19, 2014 Obama extolled \u201cthe prospect of telecommunications and the Internet being more widely available in Cuba. [That] chips away at this hermetically sealed society.\u201d\nIn a public event February 7, the State Department inaugurated its Cuba Internet Task Force. A press release indicated that, \u201cthe task force agreed to form two subcommittees, one to explore the role of media and freedom of information in Cuba, and one to explore Internet access in Cuba.\u201d The task force, unbudgeted, will meet next in October to hear reports from the subcommittees and to make recommendations.\nDeputy Assistant Secretary for Western Hemisphere Affairs John S. Creamer chairs the group. Members include the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, responsible for operating Radio and TV Mart\u00ed; the Federal Communications Commission, the telecommunications section of the Department of Commerce; USAID; and Freedom House.\nFreedom House, ostensibly independent, in 2016 received 82 percent of its funding from the U.S. government. One expert holds that Freedom House has long served the CIA by providing foreign media with reports and analyses reflecting official U.S. perspectives.\nAt the meeting, according to a report, \u201cseveral Cuban dissidents used a public comment period to lambast Cuba\u2019s government, drawing comparisons to World War II and to the governments of Syria and Iran. Yet most of the public comments centered on a critique of a decades-old economic embargo and Trump\u2019s policy toward Cuba.\u201d\nThe Syrian Elections\nDefying threats of violence, tens of thousands of ordinary Syrians went to the polls to cast a vote that was more about Syrian dignity and self-determination than any of the candidates on the ballot.",

Submitted papers as chapters for the edited books for IJOPEC Publications should be unpublished work and not submitted for publication elsewhere.\n2. Papers for the edited books that will be published by IJOPEC Publications should be in MS Office Word format and submitted by email to book@currentdebates.org.\n3. As a contributor to IJOPEC Publications, you are expected to ensure that your work is professionally proofread and in proper APA styling prior to final submission. All references should be cited in the text (not in footnotes) by giving the last name of the author, year of publication, followed by reference to pages. Decisions for the publication will be made after the blind review process.\n4. Chapters should be typed single spaced and should not exceed 13 pages. Preferred length is 10-12 pages.\n5. First page of the papers must contain the following information:\n(i) the title of the manuscript;\n(ii) the name of the author(s);\n(iii) institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s);\n(iv) an abstract of 80 \u2013 120 words and at least three keywords.\n(v) full contact information of all authors (address, phone, e-mail etc...)\n6. Titles and subtitles are expected to be 12 words or fewer (not more than 15 words)\n7. Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively and titled.\n8. Decimals should be separated by a full-stop. Digits should not be separated by commas.\n9. Equations should be numbered consecutively. Equation numbers should appear in parentheses at the right margin. In cases where the derivation of formulas has been abridged, the full derivation must be presented on a separate sheet for referee use (not to be published).\n10. References should be listed on a separate page (NOT on a separate document!).\nAuthor Guideline for APA styling\nWhen writing academically, it is very important to properly cite and reference the materials used in your writing. Proper citation allows your readers to further explore your particular subject matter. Citing also protects you against plagiarism by clearly indicating and differentiating which information comes from other sources and which is your own work and writing. Following a uniform style, such as the APA style guide, helps display your facts, key points, and scientific findings simply and clearly for your readers. Finally, by following a uniform style, the publication process is more efficient for author and publisher alike, allowing for the swift and accurate typesetting of your work.\nWhen using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, for example, (Gershenkron, 1962).\nNote: If you are referring to an idea from another work but not directly quoting the material, or making reference to an entire book, article, or other work, you only have to make reference to the author and year of publication and not the page number in your in-text citation. All sources that are cited in the text must appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.\nAPA style specifies that major components of the paper (abstract, body, references, etc.) each begin on a new page with the heading centered at the top of the page. The body of the text is typically divided into sections with headings such as Method, Results, and Discussion. For an example of a paper properly formatted per the APA Manual, Sixth Edition, go to http://www.apastyle.org/manual/related/sample-experiment-paper-1.pdf Some papers have multiple studies in them so the body could have multiple sections and subsections within it.\nIntegrated Citations\nA work that is directly referenced within the text by the author\u2019s, or multiple authors\u2019, name is called an integrated citation. When there is an integrated citation for a work with multiple authors, separate the authors with the word \u201cand.\u201d For example:\nAlm, Martinez-Vazquez, and Wallace (2009) questioned in their previous work validity of . . .\nIn an integrated citation that includes \u201cet al.\u201d, you would write the citation as such:\nKirchler et al. (2010) review the tax compliance decisions . . .\nWhen writing an integrated citation for multiple citations, treat each citation as its own integrated citation. You would then separate the citations by a comma and an \u201cand\u201d between the last two citations.\nThe authors of \u015eenses (2015), \u00d6ni\u015f (2016), Voyvoda and Yeldan (2016), and Taymaz et al. (2015) discuss in their research . . .\nIf the work is not directly referenced in the text but still needs to be cited, the citation will be moved to the end of the sentence, and the author\u2019s name will be included along with the publication year, as in the following example: (Hobsbawm, 1991).\nThe page, or range of pages, where the information is found is identified by a \u201cp.\u201d for a single page or \u201cpp.\u201d for multiple pages. For example:\nAlthough the APA style can seem difficult, it often is very easy to use once it has been practiced (Jones, 1998, pp. 24-32).\nWhen you are citing an electronic, online material, or a source that doesn\u2019t have a page number, use the paragraph number where the information is found. The paragraph number is indicated by \u201cpara.\u201d An online source cited like this would look like this:\nThe APA style has shown a 25% increase in knowledge retention (Jones, 1998, para. 3).\nIf you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and the page number for the reference (preceded by \"p.\"). Introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses, as in an integrated citation.\nAccording to Jones (1998), \"Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time\" (p. 199).\nIf the author is not named in a signal phrase, place the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation, as in a parenthetical citation.\nShe stated, \"Students often had difficulty using APA style\" (Jones, 1998, p. 199), but she did not offer an explanation as to why.\nThe following section presents a more in-depth discussion of parenthetical and integrated in-text citations.\nIn-text citations are used to show where you retrieved the information that you are using to make specific arguments in your writing.\nCiting an Author or Authors\nA basic citation will always use the author-date system. The pages the information is found on can also be included.\n(Evans, 1992, pp. 139-140)\nA Work by Two Authors\nName both authors in the parentheses each time you cite the work. Use the word \"and\" between the authors' names within an integrated citation, and use an ampersand (&) in a parenthetical citation:\n(Fine & Waeyenberge, 2013)\nA Work by Three to Five Authors\nList all the authors in parentheses the first time you cite the source. Include a serial comma before the ampersand.\n(Johansson, Heady, Arnold, Brys, & Vartia, 2008)\nIn later citations, only use the first author's last name followed by \"et al.\" (meaning \u201cand others\u201d) in parentheses. Note that in \u201cet al.,\u201d the \u201cet\u201d should not be followed by a period.\n(Johansson et al., 2008)\nSix or More Authors\nUse the first author's name followed by et al. for every citation, including the first.\n(Kirchler et al., 2012)\nIf there is no author listed for the source, cite the source by its title in the signal phrase, or use the first word or two in a parenthetical citation. Titles of books and reports are italicized or underlined; titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are placed in quotation marks.\nA similar study was done of students learning to format research papers (\"Using APA,\" 2001).\nIn \u201cUsing APA\u201d (2001), students learned to format research papers.\nNote: In the rare case \"Anonymous\" is used for the author, treat it as the author's name (Anonymous, 2001). In the reference list, use the name Anonymous as the author.\nOrganization as an Author\nIf the author is an organization or a government agency, write the organization\u2019s full name in the signal phrase or in the parenthetical citation the first time you cite the source.\nThe purpose of the style was to give clarity and simplicity to the writing (American Psychological Association, 2000).\nAccording to the American Psychological Association (2000), . . .\nIf the organization has a well-known abbreviation, include the abbreviation in brackets the first time the source is cited and then use only the abbreviation in later citations.\nFirst citation: (Mothers Against Drunk Driving [MADD], 2000)\nSecond citation: (MADD, 2000)\nTwo or More Works Cited at the Same Time\nWhen your parenthetical citation includes two or more works, order them the same way they appear in the reference list, separated by a semi-colon.\n(Chang, 2006; Wade, 1990)\nIf multiple works by the same author or authors are cited simultaneously, use commas between the publication years, again, listing the sources in the same order that they appear in the reference list.\n(Amsden, 1989, 1997)\nAuthors with the Same Last Name\nTo prevent confusion, use first initials when last names are the same. The first initial should appear before the last name of the authors.\n(G. Johnson, 2001; P. Johnson, 1998)\nIf you have two sources by the same author in the same year, use lower-case letters (a, b, c) with the year to order the entries in the reference list. Use the lower-case letters with the year in the in-text citation.\nResearch has shown (Allen, 2013a) that . . .\nIt was later discovered that these signs were indicative of a great underlying cause (Allen, 2013b).\nFor interviews, letters, e-mails, and other person-to-person communication, cite the communicator\u2019s name, the fact that it was personal communication, and the date of the communication. Do not include personal communication in the reference list.\nMany students have difficulty with the APA style initially (E. Robbins, personal communication, January 4, 2001).\nA. P. Smith also claimed that many of her students had difficulties with APA style (personal communication, November 3, 2002).\nCiting Indirect Sources\nIf you use a source that was cited in another source, name the original source (the source that was cited) in your signal phrase. List the secondary source (the source that cited the original source) in your reference list and cite the secondary source in parentheses.\nJohnson argued that . . . (as cited in Smith, 2003, p. 102).\nIf no date is given, use the abbreviation \"n.d.\" (meaning \"no date\") in the place of a publication year.\nAnother study of students and research decisions discovered that students succeeded with tutoring (Sterling, n.d.).\nUnlike in-text citations, reference citations include additional details beyond author and date. Each reference citation is made up of four parts: Author, Date, Title, and Publication Data. This information will be listed at the end of your article under the subtitle\nThe following is a step-by-step guide to building a reference citation using each of these four parts.\nReference List: Author/Authors\nThe following rules for handling works by a single author or multiple authors apply to all APA-style references in your reference list, regardless of the type of work (book, article, electronic resource, etc.).\nList the author\u2019s last name first, followed by the author\u2019s initials. For example: Fowler, R. B.\nMinns, J. (2001). Of miracles and models: The rise and decline of the developmental state in South Korea. Third World Quarterly, 22(6), 1025-1043.\nList authors by their last names and initials. Use an ampersand (&) instead of \"and,\" and include a comma between them. For example: Musgrave, R. A., & Musgrave, P. B.\nMusgrave, R. A., & Musgrave, P. B. (1989). Public Finance in Theory and Practice. New York: McGraw-Hill.\nList authors by their last names and initials. Use commas to separate author names, while the last author\u2019s name is preceded again by an ampersand. For example: Kirchler, E., Muehlbacher, S., Gangl, K. Hofmann, E. Kogler, C., Pollai, M., & Alm, J.\nKirchler, E., Muehlbacher, S., Gangl, K. Hofmann, E. Kogler, C., Pollai, M., & Alm, J. (2012). Combining Psychology and Economics in the Analysis of Compliance: From Enforcement to Cooperation. Tulane University Economics Working Paper 1212.\nList the last names and initials of the first six authors, separated by commas. An ellipsis (. . .) will then be used, followed by the final author\u2019s last name and initials. Never use et al. in a reference citation. For example: Miller, F. H., Choi, M. J., Angeli, L. L., Harland, A. A., Stamos, J. A., Thomas, S. T., . . . Rubin, L. H.\nMiller, F. H., Choi, M. J., Angeli, L. L., Harland, A. A., Stamos, J. A., Thomas, S. T., ... Rubin, L. H. (2009). Web site usability for the blind and low-vision user. Technical Communication, 57, 323-335.\nAuthor with a Suffix (Jr., Sr., etc.)\nWhen an author has a suffix as part of their name, such as Jr. (junior) or Sr. (senior), the suffix will appear after the initials of the author. A comma separates the initials from the suffix. For example: Downey, R., Jr.\nDowney, R., Jr. (Actor). (2013). Iron man 3. Marvel Studios.\nWhen a book or article is written by an organization, the organization\u2019s name takes the place of the author\u2019s. Do not abbreviate. For example: American Psychological Association.\nWhen the author\u2019s name is unknown, the title of the source will take the place of the author\u2019s name.\nMerriam-Webster's collegiate dictionary (10th ed.). (1993). Springfield, MA: Merriam-Webster.\nNOTE: When your chapter or article includes parenthetical citations of sources with no author named, use a shortened version of the source's title instead of an author's name. Use quotation marks (for articles) and italics (for books) as appropriate. For example, parenthetical citations of the source above would appear as follows: (Merriam-Webster's, 1993).\nReference List: Date\nThe date in a reference citation will always appear in parentheses following the authors. Always include a period after the closing parenthesis. The following are examples of dates used in various reference scenarios, which will demonstrate how to organize your sources in the reference list.\nUse the author's name for all entries and order the entries by year (earliest comes first).\n\u00d6ni\u015f, Z. (1992). The East Asian Model of Development and the Turkish Case: A Comparative Analysis. METU Studies in Development, 19(4), 495-528.\n\u00d6ni\u015f, Z. (1995). The limits of neoliberalism: Toward a reformulation of development theory. Journal of Economic Issues, 29, 97-119.\nWhen an author appears both as the only author and, in another citation, as the first author of a group, list the one-author entries first, regardless of publication date.\nEvans, P. (1995). Embedded Autonomy: States & Industrial Transformation. Princeton: Princeton University Press.\nEvans, P., Reuschemeyer, D., & Skocpol, T. (1985). The state and economic transformation: toward an analysis of the conditions underlying effective intervention. In P. Evans, D. Reuschemeyer, & T. Skocpol (Eds.), Bringing the State Back In. New York: Cambridge University Press.\nKirchler, E., Hoelzl, E., & Wahl, I. (2008). Enforced versus Voluntary Tax Compliance: The \u201cSlippery Slope Framework\u201d.

Current Directions in Psychological Science, 23(2), 87-92.\nIf there are multiple references by the same author in the same year, organize them in the reference list alphabetically by the title of the article or chapter. Lowercase letters are then added to each publication year, listed alphabetically. The same also applies to groups of writers. If you use more than one source by a group of authors from the same year, attach a letter (starting with a) to the publication year.\nSturridge, D., Owen, M., & Reina, J. M. (2004a). Actor-network theory and post-structuralism. International Journal of Actor-Network Theory and Technological Innovation, 13(1), 54-75.\nSturridge, D., Owen, M., & Reina, J. M. (2004b). Human and non-human actors in ANT. Hershey, PA: IGI Global.\nWorks with No Date of Publication\nSome sources have no defined date of publication. In this case, write \u201cn.d.\u201d (no date) in place of the date.\nO'Keefe, E. (n.d.). Egoism & the crisis in Western values. Retrieved from http://www.onlineoriginals.com/showitem.asp?itemID=135\nForthcoming Works\nUse \u201cin press\u201d in the place of a date to cite a work that has yet to be formally published.\n\u00d6ni\u015f, Z., & Kutlay, M. (in press). The Dynamics of Emerging Middle Power Influence in Regional and Global Governance: The Paradoxical Case of Turkey. Australian Journal of International Affairs.\nReference List: Title and Publication Data\nReference List: Articles in Periodicals\nAPA style dictates that after the author and publication date information, described above, the title of the article is written in sentence case, meaning only the first word and proper nouns in the title are capitalized. The periodical title is written in title case (all words upper case except for articles, prepositions, and conjunctions), and is followed by the volume number, issue number and page numbers. The title of the periodical and the volume number will always be italicized.\nAuthor, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year). Title of article. Title of Periodical, volume number (issue number), pages.\nArticle in a Journal Paginated by Volume\nJournals that are paginated by volume begin with page one in issue one and continue numbering issue two where issue one ended. In this case, only the volume number and the page number are necessary.\nErdo\u011fdu, M. M. (2001). The role of the state in national technological capability building, Review of Asian and Pacific Studies, 22, 17-41.\nArticle in a Journal Paginated by Issue\nJournals paginated by issue begin with page one in every issue; therefore, the issue number is indicated in parentheses after the volume. The parentheses and issue number are not italicized or underlined.\nAlm, J., Martinez-Vazquez, J., & Wallace, S. (2009). Do tax amnesties work? The revenue effects of tax amnesties during the transition in the Russian federation. Economic Analysis & Policy, 39(2), 235-253.\nArticles in works published more frequently, such as weekly magazines, will include the month and date of publication.\nHenry, W. A., III. (1990, April 9). Making the grade in today's schools. Time, 135, 28-31.\nUnlike other periodicals, p. or pp. precedes page numbers for a newspaper reference in APA style. Use \u201cp.\u201d to denote a single page (e.g., p. B2) and \u201cpp.\u201d to denote multiple pages (e.g., pp. B2, B4 or pp. C1, C3-C4).\nFor works other than articles, such as an editorial preface or letter to the editor, label the work in brackets following its title.\nMoller, G. (2002, August). Ripples versus rumbles [Letter to the editor]. Scientific American, 287(2), 12.\nFor reviews, label the work as above, but also include the title and authors of the work being reviewed.\nErdo\u011fdu, M. M. (2001). Review of the book State and Market: The Political Economy of Turkey in Comparative Perspective, by Z. \u00d6ni\u015f, Turkish Studies, 2(2), 152-154.\nReference List: Books\nIn APA style, after the author names and the year of publication, the title of the book is written in sentence case and italicized (note that this is different from a journal reference). After the title, list the location of the publisher, followed by a colon and then the name of the book\u2019s publisher.\nAuthor, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of work: Capital letter also for subtitle. Location: Publisher.\nKeyder, \u00c7. (1987). State and class in Turkey: A study in capitalist development. London: Verso.\nNote: For \"Location,\" if the publisher is based in the United States, you should always list the city and the state using its two letter postal abbreviation without periods (New York, NY). For publishers based outside of the United States, list the city followed by the country (Pretoria, South Africa).\nBook Written by One or More Authors\nFor a book by one or more authors, cite the authors, the book\u2019s title, and the publisher\u2019s information, as described above.\nBaer, K., & Le Borgne, E. L. (2008). Tax amnesties: Theory, trends, and some alternatives. Washington D.C: International Monetary Fund.\nEdited Book, No Author\nList the editor or editors in place of the authors. Indicate their role using (Ed.) for a single editor or (Eds.) for multiple.\nDuncan, G. J., & Brooks-Gunn, J. (Eds.). (1997). Consequences of growing up poor. New York, NY: Russell Sage Foundation.\nEdited Book with an Author or Authors\nList the author first. Following the title of the book, list the editors with their initials before their last names. Indicate their role as above.\nPlath, S. (2000). The unabridged journals. K. V. Kukil (Ed.). New York, NY: Anchor.\nList the translators in parentheses following the book\u2019s title. Format their names as you would editors\u2019, and include the original publication date following the publisher\u2019s information.\nLaplace, P. S. (1951). A philosophical essay on probabilities (F. W. Truscott & F. L. Emory, Trans.). New York, NY: Dover. (Original work published 1814).\nNote: When you cite a republished work, like the one above, in your text, it should appear with both dates: Laplace (1814/1951).\nEdition Other Than the First\nInclude the edition number following the book\u2019s title.\nHelfer, M. E., Kempe, R. S., & Krugman, R. D. (1997). The battered child (5th ed.). Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press.\nList the authors, year of publication, and title of the chapter. This is then followed by \u201cIn\u201d and the name of the book in italics. List the editors before the title of the book and publisher\u2019s information.\nAuthor, A. A., & Author, B. B.

DOIs can provide stable, long-lasting links for online articles, and are unique to their documents. Many, but not all, publishers will provide an article's DOI on the first page of the document. Some online bibliographies will provide an article's DOI but may \"hide\" the code under a button which may read \"Article\" or may be an abbreviation of a vendor\u2019s name like \"CrossRef\" or \"PubMed.\" This button will usually lead to the full article which will include the DOI. A DOI from a print publication or one with a dead link can be found with CrossRef.org's \"DOI Resolver\" (http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/).\nArticle from an Online Periodical with DOI Assigned\nArticle from an Online Periodical with no DOI Assigned\nOnline scholarly journal articles without a DOI require the URL of the journal home page. Since one of the goals of citations is to provide your readers with enough information to find the article, providing the journal home page aids readers in this process.\nCheryan, S., Master, A., & Meltzoff, A.

World-Way Aviation is one of several service providers at S\u00e3o Paulo-area Sorocaba Executive Airport, a hub for OEM maintenance centers. Opened in 2016 at a cost of $15 million, it offers a 30,000-sq-ft (2,787-sq-m) terminal with dedicated VIP lounge, conference room, crew lounge and rest suites, fitness center, observation balcony, and a nearly 100,000-sq-ft hangar, large enough to house nine Embraer Lineage 1000s.\nFBO Aerocardal at Santiago, Chile\u2019s Comodoro Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport was the first service provider in Latin America to be accepted to the network back in 2014. Its recently renovated facility has a 7,700-sq-ft terminal, with separate executive passenger lounges for international and domestic boarding, customs and immigration service, concierge, crew rest area and showers, along with more than 30,000 sq ft of hangar space.\nLocated at Quito\u2019s Mariscal Sucre International Airport, Ecuacentair provides onsite passenger security screening, passenger and crew lounges, shower facilities and flight planning stations. This summer the company will begin construction on a 3,000-sq-m (32,290-sq-ft) hangar. When completed by the end of the year, it will be the largest on the airport.\nColombian service provider Caribbean Support and Flight Services (CSFS) operates an Air Elite Diamond FBO at Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport in Barranquilla. The Cartagena-based company also operates FBOs at Santa Marta/Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar International Airport, Medellin\u2019s Rionegro/Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda C\u00f3rdova International Airport, Alfonso Bonilla Arag\u00f3n International Airport in Cali, and at San Andres Island Gustavo Rojas Pinilla Airport.\nCabo San Lucas International Airport, the only private international airport in Mexico, offers a family-owned FBO, which delivers personal service to its customers. It offers an 8,100-sq-ft terminal with concierge services, refreshments, flight planning, immigration and customs processing, 24-hour security, along with a new 32,000-sq-ft hangar that can shelter aircraft up to a Boeing 737, business center, and complete ground handling capability including fueling.\nThe Air Elite Network is well represented among the islands of the Caribbean, with locations in Puerto Rico and the Bahamas (Jet Aviation San Juan and Jet Aviation Nassau), Turks and Caicos (Provo Jet Center), Cura\u00e7ao (Jet Centre Cura\u00e7ao), and the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas Jet Center).\nAir Elite\u2019s standards are audited to ensure consistency across the network. In June it held its annual retreat and Ritz-Carlton customer service training session, drawing members from around the globe, allowing them to engage in continued training, best practice sharing, strategic planning, and development.\nSource: AINOnline\nAirportAviationCuracao Jet CentreWorld Fuel",

I have the profiles of M51 and M63 on the shelf, but that's it. So if you have additional profiles, news or info, please send them to me for the column. Thanks!\nM21: Russian Air Defense\nAnother type of 'mystery' station that is around for quite some time, is in fact not one single station but a network of stations belonging to the Russian forces. To the Russian Air Defense Forces to be more precise.\nThis is a typical message that can be best described as a QRV message: 'BT990457??8?????'. The digit after the first two question marks [8 in this example] may be different on the various frequencies. Each message starts with BT -...- followed by 99 and the time, being UTC+x. Then two question marks ?? ..--.. followed by a digit and again five question marks.\nBesides 99, also other pairs of equal numbers have been logged like 44 and 66. In the past the other combinations were followed by messages of 13 characters, while the QRV messages consisted of 16 characters. Nowadays the normal messages may start with any combination after 'BT'. The length of all messages is now always 16 characters including 'BT'.\nThe timestring can vary from station to station from UTC+3 to 6 or even up to +12 hours, depending on the geographical area that the station services.\nThe stations have been heard on many frequencies. Here is a list:\n2316, 2360, 3825, 3839, 4402, 5053, 5181, 5205, 5214.5, 5278.5, 5369.5, 5446, 5471.5, 6635, 6800, 7530, 7821, 8084 kHz.\nBT992T17??8?????\nBT1TT654T7564312\nBT1674788393212T\nBT1TT63464491218\nBT1TT6346449132T\nBT2TT25T11TT9T8?\nIn the early 90's a similar station transmitted on 5416 kHz. It sent the following QRV message in 50bd RTTY: VV99+1804+0++++++\nThe timestring was UTC+1. Just like the CW stations, this also was a military station. Probably belonging to the Russian forces in Eastern Germany or the East German forces.\nMore on M21 to be found in Newsletter 7\nM18: 'time station'\nLocation: Ust'Kamenogorsk, Kazachstan\nFrequencies: 3803, 4073 and 4503 kHz, probably on more freqs.\nThe transmission is in CW and consist of 4 digits. This represents the time in -presumably- Russia. Time given is UTC+2 to UTC+6. The station's clock is between one minute behind to one minute ahead of DCF77. Each time block is repeated 8x.\nExample: 0317 (R8) 0318 (R8) 0319 (R8) etc.\nindicating 03 hrs, 17, 18, 19 mins....\nThe time difference on various frequencies follows the same pattern as the Russian Air Defense stations (M21), where the time given depends on the area that is serviced.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Blog \u00bb My Other Car Is a ... Robot? Defining Vehicle Automation\nThis article discusses efforts by researchers and regulators to systematically define, divide, and denote this growing spectrum of automotive automation. I first identify and compare approaches, and I then propose one of my own. Any approach may be overtaken by technological change or overcome by popular usage. Nonetheless, these efforts (and their coordination) are important, because effective legal, technical, and commercial communication depends in part on language that is clear and consistent. (The alternative is something that may or may not be called organic.)\nThe current status of these efforts varies. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has yet to determine its approach to these definitional issues. SAE International\u2019s On-Road Autonomous Vehicle Standards Committee (on which I serve) is working on definitions. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published standards for adaptive cruise control (ACC), traffic impediment warning systems, and functional safety and is developing a lanekeeping standard. A project group organized by Germany's Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) on the Legal Consequences of an Increase in Vehicle Automation recently published a significant report that includes definitions for levels of automation. The state of Nevada has defined \u201cautonomous vehicle\u201d by legislation and regulation. And a federal working group sponsored by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a more general approach for defining \u201cAutonomy Levels for Unmanned Systems (ALFUS).\u201d\nHow do these approaches compare? As an initial matter, although both \u201cautomation\u201d (the dominant term in Europe) and \u201cautonomy\u201d (the dominant term in the United States) are frequently used to mean computer control, these words have subtly different definitions. Automation describes the replacement of human labor through technology; \u201cautomated driving\u201d is therefore driving performed by a computer. In contrast, autonomy describes a system\u2019s independence from external control; \u201cautonomous driving\u201d is therefore driving performed by itself. Without careful identification of the system and its boundaries, this term is unclear. After all, unlike today\u2019s largely isolated driver-vehicle pairs, tomorrow\u2019s motor vehicles might be tightly coordinated with each other as well as with elements of our physical and digital infrastructure\u2014a concept that Dr. Steven E. Shladover argues is the opposite of autonomy.\nWhatever it is called, computer control is often described as a continuum. On the left is purely human-controlled driving bereft of even basic assistance like antilock brakes and electronic stability control\u2014in other words, your father\u2019s father\u2019s Oldsmobile. On the right is purely computer-controlled driving, for which definitions abound:\n\u201cFull Automation: The system takes over longitudinal and lateral control completely and permanently. In case of a take-over request that is not carried out, the system will return to the minimal risk condition by itself.\u201d [BASt]\nIn fully autonomous mode, \u201c[t]he [unmanned system] accomplishes its assigned mission, within a defined scope, without human intervention while adapting to operational and environmental conditions.\u201d [ALFUS]\n\u201c\u2018Autonomous vehicle\u2019 means a motor vehicle that uses artificial intelligence, sensors and global positioning system coordinates to drive itself without the active intervention of a human operator.\u201d [Nevada]\nBetween these two extremes, driving is shared by human and machine. This apportionment may be consecutive (if the technology is restricted to certain trip segments such as freeways) or concurrent (if the technology is restricted to certain subtasks such as lanekeeping). Several analytic frameworks divide this portion of the spectrum into multiple categories. BASt\u2019s project group, for example, defines three intermediate levels:\n\u201cDriver Assistance: The driver permanently controls either longitudinal or lateral control. The other task can be automated to a certain extent by the assistance system.\n\u201cPartial Automation: The system takes over longitudinal and lateral control; the driver shall permanently monitor the system and shall be prepared to take over control at any time.\n\u201cHigh Automation: The system takes over longitudinal and lateral control; the driver must no longer permanently monitor the system. In case of a take-over request, the driver must take over control with[in] a certain time buffer.\u201d\nOther approaches add additional variables. Dr. Shladover treats cooperation (his X-axis) as orthogonal to automation (his Y-axis). And ALFUS considers the degree of \u201chuman independence\u201d to be only one of three elements that define \u201ccontextual autonomous capability\u201d; the other two are the complexity of the mission given to the unmanned system and the complexity of the environment in which the system undertakes the mission.\nMy preliminary approach to describing vehicle automation combines several of these insights into two key parameters: domain and decision.\n\u201cDomain\u201d identifies the environments for which a particular technology is intended. As Figure 1 shows, it encompasses two key variables: operating speed and traffic complexity (including automated motor vehicles only, a mixture of automated and conventional motor vehicles, and a mixture of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motor vehicles). It also indicates any particular road or weather conditions (such as construction, snow, and sunrise) for which the technology is not intended.\n\u201cDecision\u201d describes the extent of computer control within those domains. Driving requires numerous decisions regarding position, path, route, and trip, among others. Consider a typical drive: We select our destinations and their order (trip), the roads we take to reach those destinations (route), the lanes we use as well as the turns and merges we make onto them (path), and our speed and spacing within those lanes (position). As Figure 2 shows, each of these decisions may be made by a human, an onboard computer system, or an offboard computer system based on information provided (or perceived) by a human, an onboard computer system, or an offboard computer system. In this sense, the decision parameter encompasses both inputs (data) and outputs (instructions).\nThese distinctions matter. A vehicle that relies solely on its own sensors is different from (though not necessarily superior or inferior to) one that relies on GPS signals, communication with other vehicles, or externally generated maps. Similarly, a vehicle that issues all of its own instructions is different from (though, again, not necessarily superior or inferior to) one that coordinates closely with other vehicles or follows remote commands. As with the conventional continuum, these splits are not absolute, and even a highly independent system capable of machine learning is still constrained by its code. Nonetheless, understanding the nature of computer control (rather than merely its extent) offers important insights about a particular technology\u2019s risks and opportunities.\nPhoto by Audi USA.",

        "title": "Prostate Health",
        "raw_content": "Subject: Prostate Health Wed Jul 25, 2007 8:27 pm\nThe right choices today can mean prostate health in the future.\nThe prostate, a walnut-size gland located just below the bladder, is the source of many male urinary problems, including cancer, benign enlargement, and inflammation (prostatitis). Prostate cancer, with an estimated 18,000 new cases a year, is the most common male malignancy. Below you'll find information you can use today to foster good health in the future.\nProstate health. The ailments commonly linked to the prostate can also be brought on by urinary tract infections, lifestyle habits, and a high-fat diet. More often than not, the factors that predispose us are beyond our control and more instrumental. As men age, the prostate tends to enlarge, a condition called benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). About one-third of all men over 50 experience this noncancerous enlargement that can cause severe obstruction of urinary flow.\nProstate cancer, if treated in an early stage, is highly curable. In many cases, however, it may have spread to other organs by the time of diagnosis. For this reason, the American and Canadian Cancer societies urge all men over 40 to undergo annual or biannual screening, starting with a digital rectal examination. A blood test to measure prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a possible indicator, is also recommended, starting at the age of 50.\nDietary factors affecting the prostate. Diet may play a role in maintaining prostate health, and may help ward off cancer. Below are some common suggestions you can begin enacting today:\n1. Practice making the proper plate. It is recommended that you eat lots of cruciferous vegetables, omega-3s, and other foods that protect the prostate.Vegetable oils high in omega-3 fats seem to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. A diet that is high in saturated animal fats is to be limited, as it has been linked to an increased incidence of prostate problems. Vegetables from the cruciferous family such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower contain isothiocyanates, phytochemicals that appear to be protective. These foods also offer the added benefits of antioxidants. Whole grains offer fiber, selenium, vitamin E, and phytochemicals, all of which play a role in the prevention of cancer.\n2. Drink plenty of fluids. Anyone with an enlarged prostate should drink plenty of water and other nonalcoholic fluids to flush the bladder. Consumption of fluids containing caffeine should be reduced to a minimum.\n3. Supplements and substances. Keep an eye out for the following:\nLycopene. A recent study of nearly 48,000 men found that this substance, found in such foods as tomatoes, tomato products, red grapefruits, and watermelons appears to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. These findings support the recommendations to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables, which are high in other antioxidants and bioflavonoid pigments that protect against various cancers. Cooking appears to release more of the lycopene in tomatoes, so tomato-based pasta sauces and soups may be especially beneficial. Lycopene is fat soluble so is better absorbed when eaten with a little fat.\nVitamin E. It is known to reduce inflammation and may protect against prostate cancer. Men, especially smokers, who have low levels of vitamin E appear to be at increased risk. Good sources include margarine, vegetable oils, nuts and seeds, wheat germ, and whole grains.\nSelenium. It may protect against prostate cancer. This antioxidant is found in nuts, especially Brazil nuts, wheat bran, wheat germ, oats, and brown rice.\nIsoflavones. Soy products can help prevent prostate enlargement, may help protect against prostate cancer, and may slow tumor growth. This effect is attributed to isoflavones, plant chemicals that help lower dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a male hormone that stimulates the overgrowth of prostate tissue.\nAvoid at all costs. Alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and other substances that irritate the urinary tract should be avoided. Also, weight should be moderated, as excessive gain affects overall health, in addition to the prostate.",

        "raw_content": "Brandon Sun, June 28, 2007; Part One of Three - David McConkey\nMuch can happen to a region and its people in 150 years. Right now, the people of the Prairies have a unique opportunity to compare life 150 years ago with today.\nJohn Palliser led an Expedition that travelled through the Prairies 150 years ago. To mark this sesquicentennial, a new Expedition today should retrace the original route and report its findings.\nThe results would be a fascinating look at where we\u2019ve come from, where we are at now, and where we are going. As a bioregion, we could collectively compare notes with then and now \u2013 an excellent thing to do every so often.\nBetween 1857 and 1860, the Palliser Expedition journeyed through and studied the Prairies. The project, officially the \u201cBritish North America Exploring Expedition,\u201d was sponsored by the Royal Geographical Society and paid for by the British government.\nThe main concern 150 years ago was political. Would the region remain British or would it be absorbed into the United States?\nWhen the Palliser Expedition set out, the Prairies were largely under the jurisdiction of the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company. Canada had not been formed. Treaties with the First Nations had not been signed. Although the border with the United States had recently been agreed to as the 49th parallel, it was not mapped or marked. American settlements were getting closer all the time.\nThe objectives of the Palliser Expedition were to assess and report on the state of the Prairies \u2013 including the location of the border, feasibility of transportation routes, and potential for sustainable agricultural settlement.\nThe Expedition travelled from Lake Superior across the Prairies and through the Rocky Mountains. In Westman, the Expedition located the border in the Turtle Mountains, and then journeyed to Fort Ellice (St. Lazare). The group passed near to where the communities of Pilot Mound, Killarney, Boissevain, Deloraine, Hartney, Souris, Sioux Valley, and Miniota are today. (Brandon, of course, was still a quarter of a century away from being on the map as a city.)\nJohn Palliser was an excellent leader of the project. From Ireland, he had served in the British military and loved to explore and hunt in far-off places.\nA university drop-out, Palliser had a keen generalist\u2019s interest in learning. He was a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, where he met people like African explorer David Livingstone.\nPalliser had spent a couple of years in the 1840s living on the American plains. He wrote a popular account of his travels: Solitary Rambles and Adventures of a Hunter in the Prairies .\nAs head of the Canadian excursion, Palliser ably performed many tasks: organizing the Expedition, hunting bison, making maps, arranging for extensions to government funding, and writing the final report.\nAccompanying Palliser were scientists who conducted investigations in fields like botany, geology and astronomy. Also consulted in England about the project were Charles Darwin and William Hooker \u2013 the first Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens (Kew Gardens) in London.\nA new Expedition today could be funded by a Prairie province, the federal government (perhaps the Senate?), a university (perhaps Brandon?), or by a private foundation. Although including a host of experts, it should be led by one person, who could give it a sense of direction, purpose, even flair.\nPerhaps that one person should be a foreigner, like the Irish Palliser, who could explore the Prairies with an outsider\u2019s perspective. Perhaps the new Expedition could produce a landmark report, like Democracy in America written by Alexis de Tocqueville from France after his visit to the United Sates in 1835.\nWhoever leads the new Expedition, however, should be especially sensitive to the traditions and aspirations of the First Nations and M\u00e9tis people of the Prairies. Palliser depended on the knowledge and understanding of aboriginal people to complete his trip.\nPalliser hired First Nations and M\u00e9tis people to be part of the Expedition. He also learned from, traded with, and was assisted by the aboriginal people he met on his travels. He journeyed using First Nations technologies, including moccasins, snowshoes, canoes, and dog sleds. In his final report, Palliser included vocabularies of four First Nations tribes.\nAs well, the Expedition collected First Nations artifacts, including pipes, bows, arrows, storage containers, and dishes made of birch bark decorated with dyed porcupine quills. These items were sent back to England, and they can still be seen and studied today, carefully preserved at Kew Gardens.\nIn the next two columns, I will continue looking at the original Palliser Expedition \u2013 and a new Expedition today \u2013 in the context of globalization and the environment.\nPart Two of This Three-Part Series\n\"On the Road with Captain Palliser\" by Joyce McCart\n\"The Palliser Expedition\" by Irene Spry",

        "raw_content": "You Will Enjoy the Pool and Jungle Garden at La Casa Fitzcarraldo, Iquitos Peru\nLa Casa Fitzcarraldo, jungle garden\nOur favorite swimming pool in Iquitos Peru is at La Casa Fitzcarraldo, located at Avenida La Marina # 2153, a 10 minute moto-carro ride from the Plaza de Armas. The pool is surrounded by a luxurious growth of blooming garden, landscaped to resemble the jungle with a profusion of orchids and bromeliads growing in the trees.\nLa Casa Fitzcarraldo orchid\nLa Casa Fitzcarraldo is more than just a pool and jungle garden. It is a famous large house that has been converted into a bed and breakfast style hotel. It is the only one I know of with a three story tree house full of blooming plants hanging hammocks, parrots, macaws, and an Ocelot. All of the floors and wood trim are mahogany. The tables and furniture are custom made from purple heart, a beautiful tropical hardwood. Notice the long heavy tables under the thatch roof by the pool are thick single slabs cut from gigantic purple heart trees.\nTree house and pool\nThe house is owned by Walter Saxer\u2019s lovely, charming daughter Micaela, Mr. Saxer was the executive producer of Fitzcarraldo, the most famous movie made in Iquitos. Fitzcarraldo is considered by many to be the most difficult movie to produce in the history of cinema. They started in 1977, and completed filming in 1982.\nLa Casa Fitzcarraldo was the home base for the movie stars and crew during the long production and filming of the movie, and still contains some memorabilia from that time period.\nWalter still lives at La Casa Fitzcarraldo several months per year. If you can catch him in the right mood to reminisce about those historical days with Warner Herzog, Klaus Kinski, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards, Mick Jagger, the dangers, sickness, and the incredible work they did together, it will be worth your time to listen.\nWhen you arrive at La Casa Fitzcarraldo, there is a two way speaker system mounted on the wall to the upper left as you face the main door. Press the dark brown button, and wait for someone to ask your purpose, and open the door. The cost is S/ 5 soles per person to use the pool and hang out in the jungle garden or tree house. They are open 9:00am, until 6:00pm, and sell beer, soda pop, coconuts, and delicious home cooked meals.\nRooms rent for around $40 to $80 depending on the room, and include breakfast, one way airport pickup, access to the pool, the jungle garden, hammocks hanging in the shade, and a measure of peace and quiet, a valuable and rare commodity in Iquitos\nYou can have a look at the La Casa Fitzcarraldo web site.\nMarmelita and I lived at La Casa Fitzcarraldo for 6 months several years ago. We still try to stop in every couple of weeks to enjoy the pool and jungle garden. I am sure you will enjoy the oasis that is La Casa Fitzcarraldo and it is listed in my article, Hotels of Iquitos Peru, Reveiws, Rates, and Recommendations.\nTagged as: fitzcarraldo, Iquitos Peru, la casa fitzcarraldo\nPrevious post: Hotel Anaconda Resort, Iquitos Peru\nNext post: Great Food From the River, Great View of the River, The Bucanero, Iquitos Peru",

        "title": "Spritual Pests and Problems, taking Authority Over Evil Spirits",
        "raw_content": "Taking Authority Over Evil Spirits\nBy David Brandt Berg, April 1985\nJesus casting out Legion\nI was so surprised that time when Mother and I went to pray for that girl in Pittsburgh, Helen Jones. Mother always did all the praying and took charge of the whole thing, whereas I just sort of stood by and helped lay on hands etc. But all of a sudden the Spirit just hit me and I practically began to prophesy when I laid my hands on her head and I got the Scripture about the spirit of fear, \"who through fear of death were all their lives subject to bondage.\" (Heb.2:15) So I knew then right away, the Lord revealed it to me that it was a spirit of fear and I rebuked it.\nI DON'T HAVE THOSE EXPERIENCES TOO OFTEN, BUT EVERY NOW and THEN I RECOGNISE SOMEBODY HAS GOT SOMETHING, ONE OF THOSE LITTLE PESTS! It's not like being demon-possessed and a demon's in full control and where people have fits and go absolutely berserk, but it's sort of like having fleas or lice or ticks or something that are just pests. What do they call that kind of pest that lives on you?--A parasite that just lives on you and with you and is a constant pest and annoyance. Although it can't actually completely possess you or control you, it constantly annoys and pesters. Of course, I suppose if some people would yield to it completely they would get possessed. But it's just sort of like harboring a parasite that is living off of you, like a blood sucker.\nMY MOTHER USED TO MAKE THAT DISTINCTION BETWEEN SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY BEING POSSESSED BY DEVILS, WHEREAS OTHERS ARE JUST OPPRESSED BY SOME DEVIL OR DEMONS THAT CONSTANTLY PESTER and BOTHER THEM and ANNOY THEM. Like Mr. Machowski, he wasn't demon-possessed by Tom, at first he just worked with him, then after he was saved and found out that Tom was bad, he tried to get rid of him. Tom never really possessed him, he just pestered and annoyed him, he was a pest.\n(MARIA: WELL, THAT'S THE SAME THING WITH LEAH. SHE HAS BEEN FEARFUL and HAS HAD CHOKING SPELLS, FEELING SHE WAS BEING STRANGLED, and she's had weird experiences where she was sort of out of her body and she didn't know which voice said, \"This isn't you and this isn't you,\" neither of her bodies was hers. She felt like it was trying to get her, trying to annoy her. She knew it was wrong and she always rebuked it.) Because she belonged to the Lord he couldn't possess her, (Maria: I guess people don't realise that. I don't think she realised it was an attack any more than other people who've had attacks. She's had it all her life so she didn't know it was something she could get rid of completely and permanently. I think her idea was that she sort of had to live with it and just rebuke it. She'd get temporary victories, but it kept staying around and pestering her.)\nI THINK THIS IS WHAT THE LORD WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE SAID, \"GIVE NO PLACE TO THE EVIL ONE!\" (Eph.4:27) Some people just sort of harbour them and allow them to hang around without really rebuking them and getting rid of them. See, it wasn't until Mr. Machowski was standing on the street corner preaching in Chicago that he finally really rebuked Tom and Tom left him and entered into that drunk, and the drunk had a fit and fell down on the sidewalk slobbering just like an epileptic. Apparently he could totally possess the drunk, because the drunk wasn't saved.\n(MARIA: IT'S SO SAD THAT CHRISTIANS GO SO LONG WITHOUT GETTING COMPLETE DELIVERANCE. Like Leah, she has been really sold out to the Lord and really wanted to do His Will and really trying, but it's such a handicap and a hindrance to her.) You see, they have to recognise those devils and sometimes even call them by name and command them in the Name of the Lord to depart, then they have to obey. But if they don't discern them and don't recognise them and don't take authority over them, then they don't really use their authority and their power in the Lord to rebuke them and get rid of them. It's just like a human host harbouring some kind of parasite and not really doing anything about it. Sometimes the parasite kind of annoys them and they swat them or scratch them or just sort of try to hinder the parasite, but they don't really take authority over it and command it to depart in the Name of Jesus!\nTHE ONLY WAY PEOPLE LIKE THAT CAN GET RID OF THEM, THAT HAVE HARBOURED DEVILS SOMETIMES FOR YEARS, IS TO GO ON A DIRECT ATTACK and BE SPECIFIC, EVEN NAME THE DEMON, IF POSSIBLE, and COMMAND IT TO DEPART IN JESUS' NAME! It's just like having lice or fleas or crabs or worms or something like that, you've got to go on the attack and do something about it to cleanse yourself and get rid of it. You can't just scratch them and swat them and sort of chase them a little bit, you've got to get rid of them completely. You've got to recognise the spirit, the devil, the demon or call it by name of necessary.\nI KNOW I WAS SUDDENLY INSPIRED THAT DAY PRAYING FOR THAT GIRL! I rebuked the spirit of fear and commanded it to depart in Jesus' Name and she was instantly completely delivered, and therefore at the same time she was healed! She had gotten so fearful she stayed in bed all the time and couldn't even eat, and finally got to where she could hardly drink water. She was just frightened and afraid of everything! But the minute we got rid of that fearful spirit, we commanded her in the Name of the Lord to get up and walk and get out of bed, and she got right out of bed and started walking around the room and was completely and totally delivered and never had any problem with it again!\nSO YOU'VE GOT TO BE DEFINITE and SPECIFIC ABOUT THESE THINGS and EVEN CALL THEM BY NAME and REBUKE THEM BY THEIR KIND OR WHATEVER and WITH REAL SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT See, I was just suddenly anointed by the Holy Spirit to recognise that spirit and rebuke it in Jesus' Name. It was just like sudden tongues or a sudden prophecy or something, it was just as supernatural and miraculous! It was a sudden outburst inspired by the Spirit! I wasn't expecting it, I really had no experience along that line at all. I didn't even know I had any gifts at that time. I'd never spoken in tongues or prophesied or anything.\nTHERE ARE LYING SPIRITS THAT DECEIVE PEOPLE and USUALLY THEY'RE VERY DECEITFUL. They don't want to wake the people up to the fact that they've got problems with the Devil. They even pretend to be good, like Tom, Mr. Machowski thought Tom was good because he was helping him win bets and races and make a lot of money. So he finally decided to bet everything he had on that horse and make a real killing and Tom told him the wrong horse and he lost everything! Tom just cackled and laughed about it like it was a big joke! I think that was just before Mr. Machowski was saved, and his getting saved was a result of that, when he realised that Tom was bad and something evil.\nSEE, THE DEVIL IS A DESTROYER! HE JUST TRIED TO STRIP MR. MACHOWSKI! He maybe even sensed or knew he was going to get saved and was trying to destroy him, because it was then that he heard that Gospel program on the air and got saved. He heard this preacher preach on spirits and rebuking spirits, etc., and discerning spirits and he got that special verse about \"every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is not of God.\" (1Jn.4:2) He took that home with him and went into his usual seance with Tom and confronted Tom with that verse. He said, \"All right, Tom, you claim you're good, now confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh!\" Tom hemmed and hawed and beat around the bush and finally ranted and raged furiously because he was caught and exposed!\nSO MR. MACHOWSKI SLAMMED HIS BIBLE SHUT and SAID, \"OK, IF YOU WON'T CONFESS JESUS CHRIST, THEN YOU'RE NOT OF GOD! IT MEANS YOU'RE EVIL and OF THE DEVIL! GO AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!\" But he didn't know specifically then how to really take authority over the evil spirit and command it in the Name of Jesus to leave with the authority of the Lord. He just sort of told him to get away, he didn't want him around.\nIT'S LIKE HAVING AN EVIL BOARDER IN YOUR HOUSE! He's not in control of the house, but he causes you trouble and annoyance and you don't like him. You tell him to leave several times but he won't leave, so finally by the authority and the law--in this case of the Word and the Name of Jesus--you literally throw him out! Otherwise he just won't leave!\nSO ALL THESE YEARS I KNEW THAT CHRISTIANS WHO ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE LORD COULDN'T BE LITERALLY POSSESSED OF THE DEVIL. My Mother recognised that, She'd say \"Well, they're not possessed, they're just oppressed and being annoyed by an evil spirit.\" Because she didn't see how the property of the Lord could be in possession of the Devil. But some Christians certainly were pestered and annoyed and caused a lot of other people to be annoyed as a result by having those oppressive spirits.\nYOU NEED TO TAKE ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY! First of all, you need discernment to recognise the spirit, what kind of spirit it is and what it's the spirit of, whether it's a spirit of fear or whatever it is, then you need to take charge and recognise that you have the authority of the Lord and the Spirit of the Lord to rebuke it in Jesus' Name and command it to go!\nTHIS IS WHAT THE DISCIPLES WERE SO EXCITED ABOUT WHEN THEY CAME BACK TO JESUS and SAID, \"EVEN THE EVIL SPIRITS ARE SUBJECT INTO US!\" (Luk.10:17) In other words, they had to go when the disciples told them to depart in Jesus' name! But there were some stubborn ones, Remember, Jesus said of one, \"This kind goeth not out but by fasting and prayer.\" (Mt.17:21) In other words, they had to really get down to business with God and fast and really pray together to have a real anointing and real power to rebuke a powerful devil.\nIT TAKES AN ANOINTING, THE RECOGNITION and DISCERNMENT OF SOMEONE WHO IS REALLY ANNOINTED and I BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE THAT GIFT--Not only of the discerning of spirits, but of the casting out of devils. They've got a real anointing for it, a real discernment for it, and whoever has it needs to help that person and help them along with united prayer and even fasting, if necessary, to rebuke the devil and recognise the demon, what kind of demon it is.\nI'VE HEARD OF PEOPLE PRAYING FOR PEOPLE and COMMANDING THE SPIRIT, WHATEVER KIND OF SPIRIT IT WAS, SAYING, \"GIVE ME YOUR NAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME?\"--And they have to obey, and the mouth of the victim files open and tells the name of the spirit, what kind of spirit it is. So it's good to really nail it down and identify it and make it confess its name!--Or have someone with discernment there that recognises the spirit and its name, and then rebuke it specifically by name in the Name of the Lord and command it to depart, because we have authority over those devils!\nI THINK IT IS REALLY QUITE A MINISTRY FOR SOME WHO HAVE THOSE GIFTS and THAT ANOINTING, WHO HAVE DISCERNMENT and WHO HAVE POWER OVER EVIL SPIRITS. We all have power over evil spirits, all of us who have the Lord, but we need to learn how to exercise it and how to be specific about it and how to discern what demon or devil it is and what kind or what name, and then command it by name in the Name of the Lord to depart, with real anointing take charge of the situation and command it to depart! But if the victim doesn't want to be delivered, and their own will refuses to be delivered, then the Devil has got a real hold on them.\nI GUESS YOU'D CALL IT TAKING AUTHORITY OVER EVIL SPIRITS, being specific and actually commanding the evil spirit to leave in the Name of the Lord and by the authority of the Power of the Spirit with real anointing and spiritual power, and it will depart! It's just pitiful that these Christians who have hosted these pests for years and been annoyed by them and pestered by them, oppressed by them, handicapped by them, haven't recognised it and really rebuked it by name! I think sometimes they don't want to recognise it, they don't want to admit it and confess it. We've had several cases like that. Until we virtually exposed them, they weren't even willing to confess it or admit it, Some of them hadn't even realised it until someone came along with real discernment and rebuked the demon in Jesus' name.\nBUT ANYHOW, WITH THESE SERIOUS CASES OF DEMON OPPRESSION and PESTERING, THEY NEED TO REALLY GET FOLKS TOGETHER WITH REAL FAITH and POWER OF THE LORD and really fast and pray to get rid of them and recognise them and discern them and face them down specifically by name or by type or whatever, and just rebuke them in the authority and anointing of the Lord and in the Name of the Lord and command them to depart! As the disciples said, \"Even the devils are subject unto us!\" They have to obey when you are specific and call them by name and command them in the depart, even tell them where to go like Jesus did.\nTHEY ASKED IF THEY COULD GO INTO THE SWINE, SO HE LET THEM and THEY POSSESSED ABOUT 2,000 HEAD OF SWINE! That was quite a herd!--And they all ran down and fell over the precipice into the sea and were apparently killed. (Mat.8:28-34; Mark 5:1-17) So no wonder their owner their owner got mad at Jesus! To get rid of that many devils all at once and destroy his whole heard of swine was quite a scene!\nJESUS WAS VERY SPECIFIC! HE WOULD TALK TO THE DEVILS and EVEN CALL THEM BY NAME! In that one case He demanded the devil's name. He said, \"What is thy name?\" And the man said, \"Our name is Legion for we are many!\" The poor demoniac was possessed by a whole legion of devils! Then as soon as they were all gone the man sat there at Jesus' feet, clothed, in his right mind and peaceful. Up till that time he had broken chains and was a wild man, violent! He was totally, instantly delivered apparently from 2,000 devils!\nSOMETIMES PEOPLE CAN HAVE EVEN A SPIRIT OF WORRY OR NERVOUSNESS THAT SEEMS TO PESTER THEM, and THAT'S ALSO A FORM OF FEAR. They're oppressive spirits! They can't actually get in, but they attack from the outside. They put thoughts in people's heads and inspire them to do certain things which they shouldn't do. They're not in full possession, but people, often not realising it's the Devil, obey them and do things that they're told to do, and if that habit keeps up it can wind up in total defeat to where they're obeying the Devil and listening to the Devil instead of to the Lord. Thank God we can't get demon-possessed, because the Lord possesses us, amen? We are a possession of His Holy Spirit and the Devil couldn't possibly possess us.\nWE'RE NOT POSSESSED, BUT SOMETIMES WE'RE OBSESSED! Just like the Devil's pests, mosquitoes and files and bugs etc., they can't take us over, can they?--But they sure annoy us! So some people have annoying spirits, Even Christians who love the Lord and are born-again are sometimes subject to evil spirits who are annoying them, pestering them, bothering them or lying to them. We've all had that experience at some time or other. Doesn't the Devil ever talk to you?--Of course he does! He lies to you, tries to get you discouraged, tries to get you down, tries to deceive you.--Right? I mean, we've all had it! Even Jesus had it! Have you forgotten? The Devil took Him out into the desert and tempted Him with three great temptations!\nSO DON'T FEEL BAD IF THE DEVIL ATTACKS YOU and BOTHERS YOU and ANNOYS YOU and PESTERS YOU and HINDERS YOU, THAT'S HIS JOB, and THE LORD ALLOWS IT AS YOUR TEST. What was Jesus' temptation for? It was the final test before He began His public ministry! The Devil was testing Him to see it he could make Him fall and gave Him three different types of temptations. Jesus had been 40 days and 40 nights out in the wilderness. The Devil even quoted Scripture! But the Lord answered him with Scripture each time, remember? (Mt.4:1-11)\nREMEMBER, JESUS WAS IN A HUMAN BODY THEN and HE HAD ALL THE WEAKNESSES and FRAILTIES and TEMPTATIONS OF THE HUMAN FLESH, and here the Devil offers Him the whole world! He could have said, \"Well, it's My World anyhow and I'm going to take it over one of these days soon, so nuts to you!\" But He didn't. He just quoted Scripture, What did He say? (Fam: \"Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve!\") (Mat.4:10) And in another place He said, \"Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.\" (Mat.4:7) And what was the answer to the other temptation? (Fam: \"Man shall not live by bread alone.\") (Mat. 4:4) The first temptation was food, and Jesus answered, \"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.\"\nSO IF THE DEVIL CAN EVEN PESTER JESUS, CERTAINLY HE OR SOME OF HIS LITTLE DEMONS MUST WORK HARD ON YOU TO PESTER YOU! So what is the best way to resist the Devil when he comes along with his lies and temptations and deceits and all kinds of things that he's petering you with? Pick up the Sword of the Spirit and whack away! He'll run every time if you'll really use the Word!\nFILL YOUR MIND WITH THE WORD OF GOD and YOU WON'T HAVE ROOM FOR THAT DARKNESS! FILL YOUR MIND WITH THE LIGHT OF GOD'S WORD and THE DARKNESS WILL FLEE! Quote Scripture! Don't listen to the Devil's lies! Fill your mind with the Light, and the darkness will flee! \"Give no place to the Evil One,\" God's Word says. (Eph.4:27) Don't give him any room to get in, don't give him any room to talk to you! With some people, the Devil comes knocking at their heart's door and they open the door and they're very hospitable! They say, \"Come right on in, Mr. Devil and Mrs. Devil and all your little devilets! Come on in, pull up a chair! Here, sit down and let's talk things over!\" Is that what you do? (Fam: No!) You'd better not, because if you listen to him, the same thing that happened to Eve, will happen to you! Don't even listen to him! Don't listen to his doubts and his fears and his discouragement and his temptations and all the rest, sock him with the Word of God! Praise God?--Amen! God bless and keep you and make you a blessing!-- In Jesus' name, amen!-\nTopic: spiritual-pests.html\nDelia rodriguez (Rive, US) says...\nPlease to leave fleas off my body\nDelia (Rive, US) says...\nI need you to rebuke the evil spirit of fleas on me\nRuth (Fort Lauderdale, US) says...\nThis writing is amazing!

How could these people go up the mountain and see God and yet live?\nSolution: First, it should be noted that God invited them to see Him. In Exodus 19:12\u201313 God told Moses to set the boundaries around the mountain so that no one should even touch its base without the punishment of death. However, God specifically invited these people to ascend the mountain in order to consecrate them for the service to which they had been appointed, and to seal the covenant which had been established between God and the nation of Israel.\nSecond, it is clear from the description and from other passages of Scripture (Ex. 33:19\u201320; Num. 12:8; John 1:18), that what these people saw was not the essence of God, but rather a visual representation of the glory of God. Even when Moses asked to see God\u2019s glory (Ex. 33:18\u201323), it was only a likeness of God which Moses saw (cf. Num. 12:8 where the Hebrew word temunah\u2014\u201cform,\u201d \u201clikeness\u201d\u2014is used), and not the very essence of God.",

        "raw_content": "Gotta Be Tough if You\u2019re Daniel Huff\nIf you don\u2019t know Daniel Huff personally, you probably just think of him as \u2018that one freshman on the Varsity Basketball team.\u2019 What some people don\u2019t think about is how hard he had to work to get to where he is now. He\u2019s been playing basketball for a very long time, and his love for the sport continues to grow today.\nDaniel hopes Greenway will be State Champions once again, but as an individual, he hopes to become a McDonald\u2019s All-American.\nHe is on a team filled with upperclassmen and to some people, that can be scary. Daniel knows that it\u2019s scary, but he also realizes how it can make him a better player. \u201cBeing on a team of upperclassmen is scary but good for me. They are obviously older than me, but they help me grow and become a leader for the next four years,\u201d Huff said.\nOne thing you may wonder about Daniel is why he chose to go to Greenway and become a Demon. He says the thing that he likes most about Greenway is that \u201cyou are always held to high standards.\u201d\nEverybody has that one class that they love, and Daniel is no different. \u201cMy favorite class at Greenway is science. My teacher definitely makes it better, but I like to learn about the earth and our bodies and scientific things like that,\u201d Huff said.\nDaniel is not only good at basketball; he is a man of many talents. \u201cSome hobbies I do outside of basketball is I sing and play the piano. I believe if you are good at lots of things, then you are more successful in life. I don\u2019t just play basketball, I\u2019m good at lots of things,\u201d he said.\nBeing on varsity as a freshman is obviously a huge accomplishment for anybody, and it may lead to more attention from people. \u201cBeing on varsity as a freshman has definitely gotten me more attention. It has also created relationships with lots of upperclassmen, which has given me good exposure,\u201d he said.\nWhen Daniel was asked about the future of Greenway Basketball he said, \u201cThe future will be bright, and yes I will definitely be a part of (our team) coming up.\u201d\nAs a freshman on varsity, you definitely have to live up to the expectations of everyone, which leads to lots of pressure. \u201cThe coaches and players are tough on me. The players on the opposing team are tough on me too because I\u2019m a lot younger than them and they think they can push me around.\u201d\nMost people that go to Greenway have eaten in the cafeteria and everybody has their favorite food. \u201cMy favorite food in the cafeteria is the spicy chicken wrap,\u201d Daniel said.\nAs an athlete, you definitely have someone that you look up to in your sport. Daniel has someone that he looks up to in high school, college, and professional basketball. \u201cMy favorite high school athlete is Tyler Herro. I look up to him a lot. My favorite college athlete is Marvin Bagley. My favorite pro athlete is Kevin Durant because I think I play like him the most,\u201d Huff said.\nDaniel is not only a great athlete, but he is also a great student. He is smart and he knows the risk if he does not keep his grades up. \u201cMy grades are good. I\u2019m in mostly Honors classes. My teammates encourage me to keep my grades up and the urge to play helps me too.\u201d",

        "title": "A Literary Tour of Mexico - Dialogos",
        "raw_content": "No literary tour of Mexico would be complete without reading one of Carlos Fuentes\u2019 novels. One of Mexico\u2019s most celebrated authors, Fuentes was instrumental in the Latin American literary boom of the 1960s and 1970s.\nThe Death of Artemio Cruz, published in 1962, is one of Fuentes\u2019 most famous works. We are presented initially with Artemio Cruz on his deathbed, from whence the novel proceeds to fill in his backstory through a series of flashbacks. There are many facets to Cruz: he is a corrupt solider, journalist, politician, tycoon, and lover. His tale leads from the Mexican Revolution into an exploration of the nature of power and its corrupting effects. Ultimately, the novel criticizes the way in which the violence and struggle of the revolution led to the twisting of the revolutionaries\u2019 original aims. This is a seminal work that is a must for anyone beginning to explore Mexican literature.\nThis ultra-contemporary novel, written in 2015 by Yuri Herrera, blends gritty, modern-day realism with rich mythology, thereby revealing two contrasting yet complementary sides of Mexican culture. The protagonist, Makina, takes a journey across the US border to save her brother from his misguided attempt to settle on the other side. Along the way, Makina\u2019s journey reveals tantalising glimpses of life in Mexico, from tiny villages, to growing towns, all the way up to the underbelly of Mexico City. Stunning scenery is paired with drug lords, vigilantes, and people-smugglers in this slim yet epic tale, which entrances the reader from the first page.\nDown the Rabbit Hole by Juan Pablo Villalobos\nJust over 70 pages long, Juan Pablo Villalobos\u2019 debut novel is so tightly written that it instantly draws the reader in. It is told by Tochtli, the young son of a Mexican drug lord who has exposed him to a world of crime and violence from an early age. Tochtli\u2019s tale is brutal yet endearing, as he has not yet lost the desire to pursue his childhood dreams. However, his dreams become twisted as he pursues them and the novel\u2019s dark humour quickly fades in light of its vision of the brutality of gang life.\nThe Diary of Frida Kahlo: An Intimate Self-Portrait by Sarah M. Lowe\nFrida Kahlo is undoubtedly one of Mexico\u2019s most well-known artists. Author Sarah Lowe presents Kahlo\u2019s illustrated journal, which documents the last decade of the artist\u2019s turbulent life. Kahlo is known for having expressed her physical and emotional pain through art. This book is thus an intensely personal exploration of the woman behind the iconic works. It also reveals plentiful insights into the cultural experiences of women in Mexico, as well as glimpses of the country\u2019s art scene.\nFor those interested in women\u2019s experiences in Mexico, The Body Where I Was Born is essential reading. The first novel by acclaimed author Guadalupe Nettel to be translated into English, it explores girlhood in Mexico in an autobiographical form narrated from a psychoanalyst\u2019s couch, after the combined elements of a birth defect and a series of abandonments lead the narrator to identify as a cockroach. Isolation and survival emerge as key themes in this outstanding literary work.\nMexico: Democracy Interrupted by Jo Tuckman\nThe British journalist Jo Tuckman has lived in Mexico since the year 2000, when the presidential elections brought an end to the seven-decade rule of the Institutional Revolutionary party (PRI), offering a new hope for a flourishing of democracy that has not materialized as expected. Published in 2012, Mexico: Democracy Interrupted explores key aspects of Mexican political life through personal stories, political analysis, and historical reporting. The wide-ranging book covers everything from the role of Catholicism in the country\u2019s affairs to the flaws in the Mexican judicial system. The work celebrates the energy and bravery of Mexico\u2019s people and, without sugar-coating any of the country\u2019s problems, finds plenty of sources of hope for the future. A great introduction for anyone looking to understand more about Mexico\u2019s recent historical and political past.\nLouise Taylor is the content writer of the Tomedes Blog, a professional blog dedicated to writers and translators, featured on the website of the Tomedes translation agency.",

        "raw_content": "Is it time we treated knife crime as a public health issue?\nYou are here: Home / News / Articles / Is it time we treated knife crime as a public health issue?\nThere may be no universal remedy to violent crime, but Scotland and the Netherlands have put policies in place that are working.\nThe latest police crime data are truly shocking. Violent crime is rising and in the latest twelve months knife crime, gun crime and sexual assaults have all risen by 20 per cent or more. The time for government complacency, and even denial on this is surely over.\nIt has become almost traditional now on the release of these crime data for Tory ministers to claim that the separate crime survey for England and Wales shows a long, continuous decline in crime over many years \u2013 and that rising police recorded crime is simply that, better recording. In effect, the government\u2019s argument amounts to a parody of amiable policing: \u201cnothing to see here, move along please.\u201d\nIn reality, the official statisticians have had a quite different take on the data for some time. In one data release they argued that: \u201cwhile improvements made by police forces in recording crime are still a factor in the increase, we judge that there have been genuine increases in crime \u2013 particularly in some of the low incidence but more harmful categories.\u201d\nThese more harmful categories are often the crimes that the public cares about most: violent crime including knife and gun crime and sexual assault. Almost two years ago, Theresa May told a conference on the issue that \u201cknife crime has a devastating impact on victims, families and communities, and I am determined to do all I can to prevent it\u201d. Total crimes where a knife was used have risen from just under 30,000 to almost 37,000 since she made that claim.\nIt is time for the government to end its denial on the issue and to act. But their current actions are only exacerbating the situation. Police officer numbers fell again in the latest 12 months, by around 900. More than 21,000 officers have been cut by the Tories since 2010. We now have the lowest level of officer numbers since comparable records began in 1996. Police commissioners and acting chief constables are clear; they are over-stretched and under-funded.\nThe underlying causes of crime are varied and complex. But they include the lack of social outlets and decent work opportunities for young people as well as the decline in community policing. All of these have suffered under Tory cuts and its austerity programme, from local authority youth funding to the growth in zero hours jobs as well as police cuts.\nI also think we need to learn from what works. The evidence in Scotland of falling knife crime after treating it as a public health issue deserves more attention. In 2005, the United Nations named Scotland the most violent country in the developed world. Since then, the police response has been accompanied by co-ordinated efforts by other public services to change the culture of violence. It is reported that, of the 35 deaths of young people from knife crime in 2017, none were in Scotland. Progress on this has also been made in the Netherlands. Maybe there is no universal remedy, but these experiences are surely worth studying.\nLabour in government will prioritise tackling all forms of violent crime, including knife crime, gun crime and sexual assault. We have already committed to restoring 10,000 police officers. This will be paid for by reversing the Tory cut to Capital Gains Tax. This the politics of \u2018for the many, not the few\u2019 applied to policing.\nIncreased police numbers are vital to tackling crime. But it cannot be the sole response. Tony Blair was fond of talking about being tough on crime and tough on the causes of crime. It\u2019s a great soundbite. But it needs to be put into practice with better and more policing, more and better jobs for young people, and learning from what works in tackling knife and other serious crime.",

Townsend Peterson's Personal Page\nMy work focuses on aspects of the geography of biodiversity, with a focus on tropical ornithology and systematics, distributional ecology, and disease transmission risk mapping. My group of students and colleagues is diverse and global, including people interested in the three themes of my interests, from many countries and backgrounds.\nOne component of my research focuses on the alpha taxonomy of birds, as well as on the phylogeny of recently radiated clades of birds. Tied to this focus is work with the basic geography of bird distributions, and with the composition of local avifaunas, based on detailed site inventories and scientific collections around the world. My work with the geographic and ecology of species' distributions, however, has taken me into other fields, including conservation biology and planning, invasive species biology, and disease transmission systems. In the latter field, my work has focused on numerous disease systems, including Chagas Disease, malaria, dengue, leischmaniasis, and ebola/Marburg. In general, my work is collaborative in nature, and usually involves geographers, computer scientists, and biologists.\nEscobar, L. E., Peterson, A. T., Favi, M. Yung, V. & Medina-Vogel, G. (2015).

        "title": "Full circle: Dodgers acquire Chase Utley from Phillies \u2013 Dodgers Digest",
        "raw_content": "Dustin Nosler 08/20/2015\t2015, Chase Utley, Darnell Sweeney, Trades 1,044 Comments\nWhen the Dodgers drafted Chase Utley in the second round of the 1997 MLB Draft, they thought they were going to keep him from fulfilling his commitment to UCLA. Unfortunately for the Dodgers, he decided to become a Bruin. Now, 18 years later, he is a Dodger.\nThe Dodgers sent infielder/outfielder Darnell Sweeney and right-handed pitcher John Richy to Philadelphia for Utley and $4 million \u2014 the cost of Utley\u2019s buyout following the season. Some might pause at the cost to get Utley, but I\u2019m perfectly fine with it.\nSweeney, 24, is having a good-not-great 2015 season after being the Dodgers\u2019 13th-round selection in 2012 out of the University of Central Florida. He was a Triple-A All-Star and is slashing .271/.332/.409 with an 8 percent walk rate and 32 stolen bases. The stolen bases are up from last season (when he was 15-for-31), and he\u2019s stealing them at a better rate (71 percent). I ranked Sweeney at No. 10 in my preseason rankings and 16 in my midseason update.\nDodger fans seem pretty upset at sending Sweeney to get Utley, but it\u2019s really not a big loss. Yes, Sweeney has some talent, but his likely future is as a utility player in the majors, and that\u2019s if his tools translate to the majors. He\u2019s fast, but he isn\u2019t great at stealing bases. He has some pop, but his strikeout rate is up and is walk rate is down. And, perhaps the biggest determiner, he doesn\u2019t have a defensive home. He was drafted as a shortstop, played a lot through the low minors and was moved to second base last year in Double-A. He also has played some outfield \u2014 mostly center field. If he is at all capable at either position, he probably has enough bat to be a second-division regular. But even that remains to be seen.\nThere\u2019s every chance he\u2019s a Quad-A player in the long run. Either way, he obviously didn\u2019t factor into the Dodgers\u2019 short- or long-term plans and was seen as expendable. If the Dodgers wanted to keep him after this season, he would need to be added to the 40-man roster, or he\u2019d be eligible for the Rule 5 Draft. As you can probably recall, the Dodgers\u2019 40-man roster has been full virtually the entire season. And Sweeney was rather redundant with Enrique Hernandez and Jose Peraza in the organization. Sweeney will get his chance immediately, as he\u2019s being recalled to take Utley\u2019s spot on the Phillies\u2019 roster.\nRichy, who recently turned 23, has been with the Quakes the entire season and has been pretty solid: 4.20 ERA, 4.13 FIP, 7.6 K/9, 2.5 BB/9 \u2014 especially in the California League. I ranked Richy at No. 26 in my preseason rankings and 23rd in my midseason update. Here\u2019s what I wrote about him in January:\n\u201cWhen he\u2019s going well, Richy has a fastball that sits in the 89-92 MPH and can touch 94 MPH. He\u2019s able to sink, but he isn\u2019t an extreme ground ball pitcher. He also has a true 12-6 curveball in the mid-70s that he\u2019s able to command well. He also has a changeup that is a low-80s pitch he\u2019ll need to develop more going forward. The difference between Richy and Stripling is Stripling added a slider to his repertoire after turning pro. There\u2019s a chance Richy could, too, but he needs to refine his secondary pitches more before he goes down that road.\u201d\nRichy\u2019s ceiling is a No. 4 starter if his stuff shows enough swing-and-miss. If not, he might be a middle relief-type in the majors. Like Sweeney, there\u2019s every chance Richy is nothing more than roster fodder and he wasn\u2019t seen as a guy who had enough of a future in LA. The right-handed pitcher depth chart is pretty deep.\nThis is an acceptable price to pay for Utley\u2019s offensive potential. He isn\u2019t much with the glove anymore, but he is showing signs of life at the plate.\nYes, he\u2019s in the midst of the worst season of his career \u2014 .217/.284/.333 with a 66 wRC+ and -0.5 WAR \u2014 but it isn\u2019t all bad. His production is being stifled by a .227 BABIP, but that\u2019s partly because he has dealt with injuries this season and the fact he\u2019s 36 years old. It was just one season ago he was a 4.5-win player.\nUtley returned from the disabled list on Aug. 7 and has performed well: .484/.485/.742 with a home run and five doubles in eight games. He\u2019s also hitting the ball harder than at any point of his season.\nChase Utley's exit velocity has been up since returning from the DL\u2026 So he has that going for himself. pic.twitter.com/Yqn8Ix99mX\n\u2014 Daren Willman (@darenw) August 19, 2015\nSmall sample sizes for sure, but Utley (likely) isn\u2019t being brought in to play every remaining game at second base. This move was made for what Utley can bring to the Dodgers come October. The Dodgers\u2019 potential playoff bench is scary:\nCarl Crawford/Andre Ethier\nThis doesn\u2019t even account for Alex Guerrero, who may or may not make it through the season on the roster (I\u2019m betting he will).\nAs for Utley\u2019s contract, that\u2019s something to consider in all this. He\u2019s owed about $6 million the rest of the season. He has three vesting options at $15 million each year from 2016 through 2018 with a $2 million buyout for 2016. The Phillies sent $4 million to cover a portion of Utley\u2019s remaining 2015 salay and his buyout. But that doesn\u2019t automatically mean the Dodgers will exercise the buyout, though.\nUtley has expressed interest in playing beyond this season and preferred to waive his no-trade clause if he had a future with the team to which he was traded. While the Dodgers have Howie Kendrick, he\u2019s a free agent after the season. If Utley performs well enough, there\u2019s a decent chance the Dodgers would exercise the option for 2016 and have their 2016 second base platoon. An Utley/Hernandez platoon wouldn\u2019t be too bad for next season, as long as Utley is producing. But that\u2019s a long way off and ultimately, not likely anyway.\nHere\u2019s what Mike wrote about this situation just last week.\n\u201cIf you want to argue that Utley would be a good veteran addition with postseason experience who could work as a lefty bench compliment to Scott Van Slyke and Alex Guerrero, sure, okay, fine. (Presumably taking Alberto Callaspo\u2018s roster spot, though that would leave the team thin at third base behind Justin Turner.) But as the regular second baseman? Perhaps we\u2019re underestimating Enrique Hernandez.\nHernandez has started three of the five games at second since Kendrick went down, and with Jose Peraza back in Triple-A, seems likely to get the bulk of the work. You may not have noticed this, but Hernandez has been really, really good, with a .305/.359/.511 line that comes out to a 142 wRC+.\u201d\nHernandez has played well since Kendrick went on the disabled list, and this acquisition isn\u2019t about sending Hernandez back to the bench. It\u2019s about maintaining his utility. He\u2019s the primary backup at second base, shortstop and center field. With Joc Pederson struggling to make contact, coupled with Hernandez\u2019s ability to mash against lefties, Hernandez could see a little time in center field to give Pederson a physical and \u2014 more importantly \u2014 mental break. He could also become the primary backup at third base because to make room for Utley on the 25- and 40-man rosters, the Dodgers designated Callaspo for assignment. Callaspo wasn\u2019t the worst player in the game in his 59 games with the Dodgers, but the fact he played 59 games for the Dodgers is a problem in and of itself. Turner is not going to be an everyday guy at third base \u2014 just as he wasn\u2019t before he landed on the disabled list. If Hernandez isn\u2019t the backup, then it might very well be Utley.\nMark Saxon tweeted the Dodgers might use Utley at first- and third base. He has experience at first base, so that isn\u2019t unheard of. However, he has exactly zero games played at third base in the majors and 123 games in the minors \u2014 all coming in 2002 as a 23-year-old. I\u2019m highly skeptical that he\u2019ll be able to handle the hot corner. It\u2019s much different than second base, and I\u2019m most concerned about him being able to make the throw across the diamond.\nLastly, Kendrick is still on track to come back at the beginning of September, but one can\u2019t at least think his hamstring injury might be a little more serious than the Dodgers are letting on (wouldn\u2019t be a first for this organization). If Kendrick is out longer than expected, Utley\u2019s acquisition makes even more sense.\nThere\u2019s really nothing not to like about this trade. Yes, Utley isn\u2019t the player he once was, but if he\u2019s healthy, he could still be a solid offensive producer \u2014 even if for just six weeks. He\u2019s coming home and playing for a chance to extend his career to a 14th season. The Dodgers gave up prospects whom they won\u2019t miss much and bolster the potential postseason bench.\nThis also doesn\u2019t preclude the team from attempting to upgrade the bullpen before Aug. 31. The prospects dealt don\u2019t cripple the system at all, and the organization has plenty of pieces to deal for an arm. Then again, the available bullpen arms are less-than-stellar and the Dodgers might just be better off promoting from within.\nWelcome to Los Angeles, Chase. Please be really, really good.\nPrevious A\u2019s 5, Dodgers 2: Frustrating loss is frustrating\nNext Now Is Not The Time To Give Up On Joc Pederson",

        "title": "\u201cExposing the Shocking Discovery That Hail to the Thief is Actually Better than A Moon Shaped Pool BECAUSE it Doesn\u2019t Recycle Songs\u201d \u2013 Dolby Disaster",
        "raw_content": "March 28, 2017 April 15, 2017 Mike BealBlurbs\nMy last post deals with the idea of parodic comic TV being a tired, antiquated old format, as in the case of Saturday Night Live, and in this post, I at least imply that the full length rock album is a similarly doomed old format. But we\u2019ll make it through, people. We always do.\nObviously, this post is PERSPECTIVAL, more so than it is current \u2014 the primary thing I\u2019m championing is something old, Radiohead\u2019s album Hail to the Thief, an album that when it came out I remember considering as, like most of Radiohead\u2019s stuff, something way too weird for me to ever fully understand. I liked it for that. It seemed an endless quagmire of dark tension, not unlike Beck\u2019s song \u201cDerelict\u201d or something.\nAnyway, for quantifiable, a priori evidence that Hail to the Thief is better than A Moon Shaped Pool (it\u2019s amazing in life how often laws of microeconomics play into sound analysis of our prized entities), we need only examine the entirety of the lifespan of the song \u201cI Will.\u201d [1] [2]\nNow, let\u2019s backtrack here, and reconsider how we think of music. \u201cI Will\u201d is not a JOYOUS occasion. It\u2019s nestled deep within an album that brought us some spellbindingly depressing songs such as \u201cWhere I End and You Begin\u201d and \u201cThe Gloaming,\u201d and honey, it fits right in. Even when Hail to the Thief is relatively uplifting, a la \u201cThere there\u201d which really grows on you the more you hear it without that weird video playing on a screen, it\u2019s not VICTORIOUS \u2014 it\u2019s uplifting for its penchant for showing just HOW MUCH adversity there is out there to overcome, with more emphasis on the adversity than on the individual achievement (some of it arguably fashioned within the entirely Caucasian motif of overcoming one\u2019s OWN demons to achieve happiness, in addition to outside demons). I mean, around 2003, no one\u2019s listening to \u201cI Will\u201d and like shaking glow sticks around in a fit of ecstasy.\nIt was a VIABLE PART of a great album, if not a classic album \u2014 it pulled its own weight, and at 1:59, it sidled around coolly and didn\u2019t wear out its welcome. I was looking for a version of it on youtube to share recently, and literally, all I could find was the long version. And honey, all the long version is is a bunch of repetition of what they\u2019d done already in the verse and chorus (it just made it so that there was more than one verse and chorus). This is where logic sticks its ugly snout into music, and ruins it. Logic would dictate that we can take this album, which is generally thought of as great and just lengthen all the songs and the\u2026 boom! It\u2019s like we just cloned chickens, and now we can sell them at KFC.\nNow, one argument would be that \u201cI Will\u201d was originally TOO SHORT, and that it\u2019s strong enough to warrant a lengthening, having been possibly originally shortened only for appearing on a really stacked album, a bully. And indeed, there might be something to this \u2014 that is to say, maybe \u201cI Will\u201d is every bit as deserving of multiple verses and choruses as all this di** bag sh** you hear on the radio today.\nBut at the same time, what could be seen as more tired and played out than this stupid verse/chorus format we have, in the first place? Part of the brilliance of Wu-Tang\u2019s 1997 single \u201cTriumph\u201d is that it HAS no chorus, and 10 different emcees appear on the track, each offering something that in no way represents a repetition. There is ZERO repetition in the original version of \u201cI Will,\u201d and what\u2019s more, it was one of those tracks that, along with nestling within the back of the album, nestled within the back of your mind as well for its subtlety, the way an album track should do. The long version only speaks boorish volumes of wanting to drag its pale face out into the harsh sunlight for sheer economic commodification \u2014 the awakening spawn of an album that now announces itself as having once been a packed parking lot of competing paeans.\n[1] All of the songs on Hail to the Thief appear with alternative titles, but the alternative titles are in fact not set in quotes on the wikipedia track listing, and they don\u2019t appear at all over in the list of released singles, so I\u2019ve elected to leave them out for purposes of this post.\n[2] Contrary to all of the band\u2019s albums which have come before, A Moon Shaped Pool hashes out an already released Radiohead song, \u201cTrue Love Waits,\u201d and trots it out hoping to allure fans of this \u201cnew\u201d project.\nRadiohead \u2013 \u201cI Will\u201d (original album version)\nhttp://dolbydisaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/10-I-Will.-No-Mans-Land..m4a\n\u201cDolby\u2019s Top 100 Hip-Hop Tracks of All Time\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Dealing With Cancellations\u2026.\nIt\u2019s no secret, I\u2019m a one woman show.\nI write my own ads, maintain my own website, participate on review boards, answer all calls and emails, prep, perform and clean up after all sessions as a solo act. It does take up an enormous amount of my time, but it\u2019s a labor or love.\nNaturally, I prefer having it be only MY spoon in the pot, but there are times when that can become a bit of a hindrance. This month in particular, my schedule has been absolutely overwhelmed with cancellations, which is a huge set back when so much time is taken to plan individualized scenes for everyone who calls to request my time.\nI mention this not to gain sympathy, but to make a point. Since I do all of this myself, when you book a session with me, I begin planning our time together. I turn others down who may want that spot and if you\u2019ve booked more than 3 hours, I consider myself unavailable to others the rest of the day.\nIf you\u2019re not certain you\u2019re ready to see me, please do not call and ask me to hold a time for you. You\u2019re welcome to call or email to ask me questions but I\u2019d strongly you prefer you wait until you\u2019re certain you\u2019re emotionally and physically ready for a visit before you plan one. This also goes for people who are thinking about visiting my area for work/vacation and aren\u2019t yet sure of their schedules. Don\u2019t ask me to \u2018hold\u2019 time for you if you have no clue when you\u2019re actually going to be free.\nPlease understand that when I reserve a spot for you, I\u2019m counting on the fact that you will be showing up. If I\u2019ve asked you to confirm, it\u2019s not that I have doubt in your arrival, it\u2019s just to ensure your plans haven\u2019t changed with the timing before I offer you my address. It\u2019s not easy for me to fill open spots on a moments notice if someone drops off my schedule and this IS how I pay my bills. I don\u2019t get paid to plan, chat and correspond, so please be courteous of my time before you request it.\nUnderstandably, things happen in life\u2026 people can get sick, injured or have something come up at any time. I don\u2019t expect this to be on the forefront of your mind when something major happens and I\u2019m entirely sympathetic in an emergency situation.\nHowever, when you do have a standing appointment and you know something will be keeping you away, please let me know as soon as you can. Don\u2019t count on letting your confirmation time expire as your way of telling me you won\u2019t be making it. If you cancel last minute or simply no show, don\u2019t be surprised when I ask for a 50% deposit when you try to schedule with me again. It\u2019s simply to make sure I\u2019m spending my time wisely with those who actually do intend on coming in, instead of wasting it with those who just want the fantasy of knowing somewhere, there\u2019s a Dominatrix creating a diabolical scene they\u2019ll never actually attend: and yes, there are plenty of boys that do that.\nI am quite understanding when things come up and I\u2019m happy to have the advance notice of any changes. I can\u2019t imagine anyone who\u2019d look forward to calling a Dominatrix to let them know they won\u2019t be showing up \u2013 but until we\u2019re behind closed doors, I\u2019m not your Dominatrix. I\u2019m Victoria, the same friendly voice you had on the phone when you booked.\nNow, to all of you who have dropped off my agenda due to the horrible cold/fly that\u2019s going around, I truly wish you a speedy recovery!!!! This blog was not directed towards you and I\u2019ll look forward to hearing from you again when you\u2019re back in good form!!!!\n\u2190 Going a Bit Vintage\u2026\nDungeon Furniture Sale: Making Room For New Items!!! \u2192\nOne comment on \u201cDealing With Cancellations\u2026.\u201d\nfirefox69joel on January 22, 2013 at 9:21 pm said:\nVery well said! It`s sad you have to remind some that they need to upfront with you and not atse your time!",

If only they knew! Luke thinks.\nTim asks Becky how she\u2019s doing. \u201cStill pregnant\u201d she says, but she hasn\u2019t told her mother yet. Tim takes her to see Mrs. Coach. She sits down with her and tells her to find a way to talk to her mom. Becky asks what she should do. Mrs. Coach tells her about the free teen clinic that can help through the pregnancy as well as an adoption agency if she would like.\n\u201cBut what if I don\u2019t want to have the baby?\u201d Becky asks. Mrs. Coach, calmly but maybe a little surprised replies, \u201cI can direct you to a, literature\u2026 for that.\u201d\nLater, Becky springs the news on her mother who doesn\u2019t take it very well. Mrs. Coach tells Coach about it later and says she did what she (as a counselor remember, she was a counselor before she became principal) was supposed to do.\nAt school, Luke asks to talk to Becky. She is very frazzled. She and her mother go to the clinic and her mother gets very annoyed by the doctor going through all the legal explanations of the procedure.\nTim is off at the scrap yard, selling the skeletons of their chop shop. But the guy doesn\u2019t want any more for fear of getting the cops involved. Now the Riggins bros have to find another place to dump all the car scrap. Billy starts to worry, but they decide to bury the car frames.\nBig Mary Merriweather comes to his first Lions practice, the other Lions vets happily surprised to see him there. He watches as Vince stumbles while Coach gives him plays.\nVince comes home after work with some BBQ, but he comes home to his mother passed out on the couch, unresponsive to him. She calls 911 and is taken to the hospital. She wakes up and asks what happened. \u201cYou ODed\u201d Vince says and she gets up to hug him only to find herself handcuffed to her bed. \u201cMom,\u201d Vince asks, \u201cwhy do you keep doing this to yourself. Why do you keep doing this to me? Am I that bad? Why don\u2019t you want to be with me? Why do you want to leave me by myself? Because, I don\u2019t know if I can\u2019t do it mom. I can\u2019t do it by myself ma.\u201d\nOutside, Vince goes to talk to the lady in charge of the rehab program. She tells him they have an opening at the beginning of the year for the government run rehab, but there are also private rehab centers. They\u2019re pretty expensive though.\nLater, Vince goes to Big Mary Virgil to ask for an advance on his paycheck, $4000. He tells him about his mother . Jess listens in on their conversation. Virgil says he can\u2019t give him the money, but he believes in him and promises to help him figure it all out. Vince thanks him and leaves. \u201cHow can you believe in him,\u201d Jess asks him, tearing up. After years of him saying Vince is a no-good low-life, why is he now showing more care for him than her and her brothers in their endeavors.\nBig Mary and Big Coach go out for a drink and Virgil tells Coach that to get Vince to his full potential, to let his instincts take over. Not have him swimming in the playbook all the time. Coach thinks Virgil is telling him he can\u2019t coach Vince because he\u2019s black and it\u2019s a whole back and forth.

You know, how is that?\u201d\nCoach: \u201cHow is what?\u201d\nRyan: \u201cYeah, it must be weird. You know, everyone out there\u2026 in the rain. Playing football.\u201d\nRyan: \u201cYou know, it\u2019s raining. \u201d\n*pause* The Taylors have a \u201cWhat the hell are you talking about\u201d look on each of their faces.\nCoach: \u201cYeah, it can get pretty weird.\u201d\nMrs. Coach interrupts.\nMrs. Coach: \u201cAare you going to stay in Dillon, or, um\u2026 I\u2019m going to get some more of these popovers, they\u2019re delicious.\u201d\nRyan: \u201cWell, actually I\u2019m the team leader of a new building project so I\u2019m going to head to Arizona next week.\u201d\nCoach: \u201cOh, well that\u2019s a shame. You know, Arizona is a beautiful place.\u201d\nMrs. Coach: \u201cOh that is beautiful there in Arizona. Dry.\u201d\nCoach: \u201cIt\u2019s a desert honey.\u201d\nMrs. Coach: \u201cMm-hmm, very dry.\u201d\nJulie notices her parents\u2019 sarcasm.\nThat night, Tami, with Gracie in her lap, wakes Coach to ask him what he thinks Julie would do if she got pregnant. She\u2019s worried about whether or not Julie would come and talk to them if it happened.\nLuke is also up in the middle night worrying. His father comes out to see him in the kitchen and asks what\u2019s wrong. Luke tells him the news. The next day, home from school and practice, Luke\u2019s parents wait for him in the kitchen, hoping to talk to him about it all. His mother says it\u2019s okay, \u201cMary and Joseph thought they were in a situation at first\u2026\u201d \u201cBecky and I are not Mary and Joseph,\u201d Luke says. His mother wants to meet Becky and then figure out what to do.\nJulie and Ryan make it up to the top of the Dillon water tower. They talk about their journeys in life, where he\u2019s been and where she sees herself going. She says she used to hate it here, but now, she doesn\u2019t know. She wants to see the world though. He takes a picture of her, \u201cthis is you seeing the world.\u201d They kiss.\nBilly and Tim are on the outskirts of town digging a hole for the scraps. Tim\u2019s had it with all the illegal stuff, they\u2019ve made their money now it\u2019s time to get out of it and go back to honest work. Just Riggins Rigs. They shake hands on being partners.\nBecky goes to the Taylors in the middle of the night. She tells Mrs. Coach about her abortion appointment tomorrow and that her mother will accompany her. \u201cGood,\u201d Tami says. \u201cYeah. So why do I feel so weird?\u201d Becky asks.\n\u201cCause it\u2019s a hard thing, it\u2019s a hard situation. Have you thought about what you want?\u201d\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have any money. I\u2019m in the 10th grade. And it was my first time. And I threw it away, and I don\u2019t want to throw my life away. It\u2019s just really obvious that my mom wants me to have this abortion. Because I was her mistake and she has to struggle and hurt everyday and she wanted better, and I knew better and I was just thinking, You know forget what she wants, like what do I want? And maybe I could take care of this baby and maybe I would be good at it. And I could love it and I would be there for it. And then I just think about how awful it would be if I had the baby and then I spent the rest of my life resenting him. Or her. Do you think I\u2019m going to hell if I have an abortion?\u201d\nMrs. Coach: \u201cNo honey, I don\u2019t.\u201d\nBecky: \u201cWhat would you tell your daughter?\u201d\nMrs. Coach: \u201cI would tell her, to think about her life, and think about what\u2019s important to her and what she wants. And I\u2019d tell her she\u2019s in a real tough spot and I would support any decision she made.\u201d\nBecky: \u201cI can\u2019t take care of the baby. I can\u2019t.\u201d\nThe next day, Tim arrives home just as Becky and mom head to the appointment.\nJess\u2019 brother has a Pop Warner game and their father Big Mary comes for the first time to support. Vince takes his mother to the private rehab facility. He tells his mother that he believes in her. They say goodbye and Vince pays the $4000\u2026 in cash! He gets outside and rides in a car with\u2026 Calvin and his car-stripping buddy! Who hands Vince a gun! Not good.\nLuke is at home and calls Becky who is also back home. He apologizes and just wants to remind her she\u2019s not alone, that he\u2019ll be there for her no matter what. Help her raise the kid and even if they\u2019re young and they don\u2019t really know each other, that he\u2019ll be there by her side through all this. She thanks him and tells him she took care of it so he doesn\u2019t have to worry. \u201cIt was the right thing to do,\u201d Becky says. Both hang up, emotional.\nThis was a really great episode. It has an effortless mix of some great humor (courtesy of the newly Emmy-nominated Mr. and Mrs. Coach) and some of the most emotional and heavy scenes this season outside of \u201cThe Son.\u201d\nFirst, such real moments with Coach and Mrs. Coach. The scene of hungover Coach getting driven to his car by Mrs. Coach was awesome and then the awkward hilarity at dinner was priceless and really both were perfect examples of the show\u2019s trademark little moments that just hit you either way.\nThe Riggins boys digging in the middle of the night bring back bad memories of season 2 with naked drug mules and murders, but I certainly hope they\u2019re getting out of the chop shop-ing business before things get out of hand (*wishful thinking*).\nAnd the two big emotional punches of the episode.\nIt seems we\u2019ve been leading up to Vince finally taking his mother to rehab. It\u2019s been slowly developing over the season and we find that it leads him down that path he\u2019s been trying not to go down. Michael B. Jordan gave a very strong performance this episode and he and Angela Rawna (who plays his mother Angela) have great chemistry as mother and son. Strong scenes.\nAnd another strong performance this episode is from Madison Burge. Finally she gets some worthwhile material and she hit it out of the park. Understated, but moving and emotional, just the right amount to keep the storyline grounded without going over the top or after-school-special-y. Abortion is never an easy subject to take on on television, but FNL did it without skipping a beat and as they do, making the story real and sincere.\nKudos to Connie Britton as well in their scenes together for the calm but conflicted counsel. I only wish they gave Matt Lauria some good stuff too. He did well with what he was given, but I would\u2019ve loved to have seen him tackle more of the heavier stuff too.\nSo a strong episode overall. I can\u2019t believe just three more episodes left this season!\nEPISODE 4.10 \u2013 I CAN\u2019T\n\u2190 The Emmys Love Their Favorites; What They Got Right and What They Didn\u2019t\nGood Ol\u2019 Review: 9, A Visually Stunning Post-Apocalyptic Adventure \u2192",

I'm Erick Messer, a self-taught photographer with a big dream. I grew up in small-town Kernersville, North Carolina and was introduced to photography when my father gave me a small digital camera at the 2009 Coca-Cola 600. Ever since, I have loved taking pictures of people as well as fast moving subjects. Recently, I attended High Point University with the intent to stay for the full four years, but unfortunately, costs got in the way and I am no longer able to attend the University and now in active search for either a steady job or other university option. During my time at HPU, I proudly earned a 3.63 out of 4.0 GPA, made the Dean's List, and was a proud member of the competitive and prestigious Media Fellows program.\nI attended East Forsyth High School from 2013 until 2017. Everyone knew me as the big guy in JROTC. Through my four years in JROTC, I earned the highest rank and position available in the battalion: Cadet Lieutenant Colonel and Battalion Commander. I also earned many awards, including Superior Cadet, the Military Officer's Association of America National Leadership Award, the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County JROTC Leadership Award, and many other awards.\nI also took part in the East Forsyth Aquila, otherwise known as the school yearbook. I was technically a member for three years, but I was an official member for two years. The minute I was put into the class, they promoted me to lead photographer. I helped produce two yearbooks, \"What You Make It\" and \"Breaking Away From Every Angle.\" I also received a $500 yearbook scholarship and the most honorable \"Most Likely to Save Rachel & Lauren's Ass\" award.\nMy ultimate goal in photography, or any camera work for that matter, is to be on the field, whether it be basketball, football, baseball, or maybe even in the field during a politically charged event. Either way, I LOVE getting action/candid shots of anything and everything. Shooting a Super Bowl? A Presidential Inauguration? Just some thoughts...",

        "title": "East Woods Presbyterian Church | our history",
        "raw_content": "by Bill Stewart\nWith joy and thanksgiving, we look back to remember the people and experiences that were part of making us the congregation we are today. It was Rev. Lavern Brassard (former pastor of Columbia Presbyterian Church, Vancouver) whose vision for a new church in east Clark County became the seed for our church. Lavern saw the tremendous potential for growth in the area and set the wheels in motion with the Presbytery. Through a very unusual set of circumstances, Bill Stewart helped secure the 5-acre parcel of timbered land on the corner of 162nd Ave. and 20th St. at a cost of $172,000 for a new church development site in 1992. The property was involved with a law suit; but in the end, the church became the winner and was allowed to purchase the property.\nOur early years, beginning in 1993, were spent as The New Presbyterian Fellowship, meeting in the cafeteria at Harmony Elementary School, lead by our organizing pastor, Greg Ikehara-Martin. Talk about grassroots! Every week, sandwich boards were placed to welcome worshipers. Chairs and a simple 'chancel' were set up for worship. Bibles and hymnals were set out, and as often as not, Greg led the singing with his guitar playing, sometimes accompanied by others on their own instruments. Lavern and Mary Brassard, along with Rev. Roy and Lori Shearer, helped to keep the momentum and energy going as this little church began to form and grow. We held our Sunday School class in the band room, another in the nearby classroom, and yet another in the other half of the cafeteria (where voices had to be kept low so as not to 'disrupt the worship'. In spite of its humble beginnings, there was great love, joy, and caring to be felt in the midst of these pioneers, and you just wanted to be a part of it. We marched in the neighborhood parades. We did walk-and-knocks to invite neighbors to come join us for worship. We began the years-long tradition of Family Camp. We held Easter egg hunts on the school playground. We dreamed of the day we'd have our own church home.\nIn 1997 we seized an opportunity to move to the Fisher\u2019s Grange Hall located a few blocks south on 162nd Ave. We celebrated our \u2018next step\u2019 towards the goal of having our own facility. At the Grange, we had an office for the pastor, a little nursery area and a couple of Sunday school rooms, along with access to the full kitchen \u2013 the start of many potlucks - YES! We still had to put out chairs and Bibles and hymnals, but at least the books could be stored at the Grange instead of being hauled in from someone\u2019s trunk. Things were looking up and life was good! Or was it?\nAlthough there was fervor to begin a building campaign, there were problems in terms of meeting the Presbytery\u2019s expectations of financial solubility. We had a growing number of members, but our numbers were not where needed to be. And, the fatigue that often develops in long term ventures began to affect the congregation. Even fundamental programs like Sunday School were flagging due to lack of volunteers to teach and coordinate. It was easy to find fault, but not so easy to identify problems and make a commitment to being involved in the solution. Strong differences of opinion regarding where the priorities should be and who should be taking on various roles and responsibilities began to undermine the solidarity of the congregation, resulting in fragmentation and squabbling that often didn\u2019t resemble anything Christ-like. Greg got caught in the middle of the maelstrom and made the decision that it was time for him to leave. In the early months of 1998, our little church\u2019s light came perilously close to going out forever. The Presbytery seemed to feel the New Church Development had become a failed venture and openly discussed closing our doors permanently. Once again, a core group of followers, led by Roy Shearer, held on to the belief that this church was, in fact, meant to be. A pastor nominating committee, tasked with reviewing the very few applications that had been received for the position, found itself reflecting on where we had been and where we felt we should be. At one particular meeting, the question was asked, \u201cHave we considered that maybe God is trying to tell us that it\u2019s time to close the books and just look for opportunities to join another existing church to help them grow?\u201d Roy admonished us to hold fast to our faith and trust that God would show us the way forward.\nIt was at that very meeting that a young pastor, who was representing the Presbytery at the PNC meetings, quietly listened and took notes. Shortly before the meeting came to a close, this young pastor spoke up and said he would have to excuse himself from further participation in the meetings because he was feeling, strongly, that God was talking to him about our little church, and that God was telling him to listen and consider that this might be his calling. A few days later, we received an application for the position of Organizing Pastor from that young man, Rev. Scott Phillips. Years later, he recalled going home from the meeting and talking with his wife, Melanie, about the feeling that had come over him, about the sense that he was being called to be our Pastor. Four months later, Scott was offered the job, with our apologies for handing him such a big mess. He readily accepted, undaunted by the challenges, nor by the time limit given him by the Presbytery to \u201cmake this happen\u201d.\nNew energy and enthusiasm began to per-fuse the little congregation and, in spite of ongoing challenges, by 2000 we had grown to 96 members and were granted permission to Charter. On Pentecost Sunday we officially became East Woods Presbyterian Church. The splintered and divided members had been reunited through this common effort. The growth continued, and in 2002 we were 136 members strong and therefore transitioned from a mission-receiving to a mission-giving church.\nBy 2003, our Mission-giving was at over $12,000 and we began a visioning process of how to minister to the surrounding community, and to make plans to begin the design for our new church home. When our membership reached 151 in 2004, with financial pledges of $162,000 we realized it was time to begin our first building finance campaign. By the time it was completed, we had raised more than the Presbytery\u2019s measure for a church our size, over $250,000 \u2013 enough to begin our next real project \u2013 our new building and church home.\nWe officially broke ground on the property on January 28, 2007, with almost the entire congregation gathered in the middle of the forest, singing and praising God for all His blessings. Almost a year later, on January 8, 2008, we began moving into the completed building. What a joyous occasion for all involved \u2013 it had been a very long trip from beginning to end.\nAs the congregation continued to grow, we added a second service and looked ahead to expansion of the exiting building, designed to have three phases. We had arrived. We were set. All systems go! Not so fast\u2026.\nOne Sunday morning in late summer of 2009, Scott and his family returned from his annual trip to the Youth Retreat at Montreat, South Carolina. While there, Scott again felt God\u2019s hand on his shoulder, and God\u2019s call to a new ministry, as the Campus Youth Pastor at the local University. It was with genuine, bittersweet emotion that Scott conveyed his decision to accept this new call. The congregation who loved him had a hard time saying goodbye to Scott, Melanie, and their son, Martin, but did so with well wishes and deep gratitude for all they had contributed to the story of East Woods.\nYes, said God, change may not be easy, but it is necessary, and even healthy for a church. A new pastor nominating committee was formed while the congregation came under the leadership of Interim Pastor, Laurel Neal. Under Laurel\u2019s firm but focused guidance, the transition from saying goodbye to the comfortable and hello to the new and different was begun, allowing for time to grieve, reflect, regroup and re-energize. By the fall of 2011, a new Senior Pastor, Rev. Bill Sperry, was chosen and began his tenure overseeing the next chapter in the life of East Woods. There is no doubt that the saga of East Woods Presbyterian Church has many more chapters to come. With God\u2019s help and blessings, we look forward to the future He has in store for us.",

        "raw_content": "Dr. I.C. Madubuike -Hon. Minister of Health\nThe present danger facing man as a result of blood transfusion as resulted in a rethinking and a change of attitude towards the practice of blood transfusion with a preference towards the se of autologous blood, which is the use of the patient\u2019s own blood during surgery. It is a truism that the patient\u2019s blood is the safest blood.\nThe need to adapt local available resources to produce devices that are relevant to our needs cannot therefore be very emphasised. The Federal Ministry of Health is doing all in its power to encourage local initiatives among medical personnel in the country having recognised the need to develop those aspects of our health care technology that are relevant to our climate of medical technology. This has greatly influenced the ministry\u2019s support for the EATSET project. The level of local production of drugs has also increased as many pharmaceuticals have been discouraged from being mere importers of drugs, playing the role of medical representatives to their foreign partners and so are mere packaging and distributive factories .\nThere is therefore an urgent need to integrate medicine with engineering and the analytical sciences in order to provide some outfit within the medical industry that can bridge the gap between equipment users and manufacturers. Such an outfit will also keep records of hazards that are encountered in the use of medical devices throughout the country and also seek to adapt foreign technologies to suit our mental and environmental conditions as exemplified in the design and production of the EATSET- Emergency Autologous Blood Transfusion Device which is a low cost and appropriate technology relevant to our needs. I understand that the equipment can be produced without involving the establishment of complex industrial machinery.\nDr. I.C. Madubuike\nHon. Minister of Health",

        "raw_content": "Title: Trust in Me (Wait for You #1.5)\nAvery was such a mystery to me; a paradox of innocence and allure - a mystery I was determined to solve.\nTrust in Me is basically Wait for You in Cam's point of view, and I loved every second of it. We get to see his side of things, and since this is his story, there are scenes in here that aren't in Wait for You, which allowed me to get to know Cam, Jase and Ollie a lot better. Even though this is a novella, it reads like a novel, and is almost the length of one. So that was awesome, getting more of Cam than I'd expected.\nI found Cam's POV so hilarious! He's such a funny and goofy guy, especially with his tortoise, Raphael. Yeah, he's cocky at times, but he's just so lovable. And it's so freaking sweet to see exactly how much he cares for Avery, right from the start. The fact that he nicknames her Strawberry Shortcake in his head is downright adorable. I love how he is with Jase and Ollie, too - they're so comfortable around each other. Maybe too comfortable at times ;) You'll get me when you read this novella.\nIt's very different seeing Avery from Cam's perspective. She's really withdrawn, and seems a lot more reserved in the beginning. It's kind of funny to see how much effort Cam has to put in to get her to open up to him! But I loved seeing him fall for her. And since I already knew what was going to happen, it made the anticipation more exciting.\nBut I wish Trust in Me wasn't just Wait for You in Cam's POV. I mean, it's literally the same thing, with all the same dialogue and everything. The time frame is identical to that of Wait for You, with the exception of the last chapter, which I think is a little after Wait for You ends. I would have liked to see how Cam and Avery were after the events of their book. But I'm glad that there are quite a few scenes in this book that we haven't seen before.\nJ. Lynn introduces a little something that will be explored in Be with Me, a little moment with Teresa and Jase that is pretty secretive. And we get to know more about Jase, too - that he has issues of his own to deal with, though of course we don't find out what they are. Jase and Cam are really close, and it makes me nervous to think about what could happen to their friendship in Be with Me. I really like Teresa, though, from what I've seen of her. She's lucky to have an awesome brother like Cam!\nTrust in Me is an awesome companion to Wait for You, though I'd recommend not rereading Wait for You before reading this, since the books overlap. This novella made me fall in love with Cam even more, if that's even possible. So of course I loved it. The depth of his love for Avery is incredible, and reading the scenes from his perspective almost make me tear up. J. Lynn's writing is amazing as usual, and though this was a quick read for me, I enjoyed it thoroughly.\n*Thank you to HarperCollins for providing me with an ARC for review*\nLabels: ARC, J. Lynn, Jennifer L. Armentrout, New Adult, Wait for You\n*Jealous* :)\nNara 27 September 2013 at 23:26\nHmm...it's a bit disappointing that Trust in Me is literally the same book as Wait For You. It would have been nice to have some back story or something, like in Losing Hope (which is Hopeless from the guy's POV too). But I do like reading male POVs, and there are some extra scenes, so I'll probably end up reading this one anyway :P",

        "title": "Ten steps to a successful sports facility | Education Business",
        "raw_content": "Home / Features / Ten steps to a successful sports facility\nTen steps to a successful sports facility\nWhile the prospect of developing a brand new sports facility or redeveloping an existing one is exciting, it can also be a daunting task. From finding funding, securing approvals and getting the design right, to making sure there is minimum disruption, there is plenty to consider, writes the Sports and Play Construction Association (SAPCA)\nThe education sector is a key provider of sports facilities in England. According to Sport England figures, more than a third (39 per cent) of all sports facilities are located on school, college or university properties. For certain types of facilities, schools rule the roost \u2013 77 per cent of all sports halls and 61 per cent of synthetic grass pitches can be found within educational sites.\nMany schools and educational institutions make their sports spaces available for the general public. Currently, around two thirds (62 per cent) of school sports facilities in England are being used for some form of community activity.\nWhile providing suitable facilities for students is the priority for any project, there are many benefits in creating facilities which can be used by the general public. One of the main benefits is that allowing public access widens the options for applying for National Lottery funding from Sport England. The grassroots sports body provides a number of facility grants. These range from the \u2018small grants\u2019 programme, which offers between \u00a3300 to \u00a310,000 to projects which get communities more active, to the Strategic Facility Fund, designed to finance large-scale facility projects.\nWith good forward planning, a new sports facility can become a valuable asset, at the heart of the community the school serves. The impact of creating a popular hub \u2013 not to mention a revenue generator \u2013 should not be underestimated, particularly as many local authorities are facing budgetary challenges in the provision of their public leisure facilities.\nFor those considering making their future (or existing) facilities to the public, Sport England has developed a handy \u201cUse Our School\u201d tool \u2013 an online resource to support schools and their partners in the process of opening their facilities for community use (www.sportengland.org).\nTo give a head start on a sports facility project, here is a useful, ten-step guide compiled by Neil McHugh.\nMcHugh is chair of the Professional Services Group at the Sports and Play Construction Association (SAPCA) \u2013 the UK trade association for the sports facility construction industry. SAPCA represents specialist constructors \u2013 as well as suppliers of sports surfaces \u2013 and plays an important role in promoting high standards for the developing of sports facilities of all sizes.\n1. Use appropriate professional advice\nConsultants can help navigate a project from the start \u2013 but it\u2019s important to ensure they have the relevant experience. Do they understand the facility requirements set out by sporting national governing bodies?\nThere are also Construction, Design & Management Regulations (CDM) to consider, which have been designed to improve site safety. Depending on the scale and the length of time to build, you might have to notify the Health and Safety Executive and appoint a CDM co-ordinator.\n2. Investigate the site\nThe old adage of \u201cif you fail to prepare, prepare to fail\u201d rings true in facility projects. E\nF Knowing everything you need to about the location of your project is paramount in order to avoid nasty surprises.\nDepending on the complexity of the project, your site investigation might include any of the following: trial pits and boreholes, soil investigations, percolation tests, a topographical survey and the charting of existing records of services, underground workings and flood risks.\nOther issues to consider include whether the location was a tip site, or if there are drainage outlets, environmental restraints or access constraints \u2013 especially those relating to disability access.\n3. Get the design right\nThe wide range of playing surfaces, design solutions and facility infrastructure options \u2013 such as fencing, lighting, security and equipment \u2013 means that it is now possible to create bespoke facilities down to the smallest of details.\nIt is important, however, to make sure the \u201cbigger picture\u201d is clear. What size should the playing surface or facility be? Which sports are to be played at the facility and is there a primary sport? What level of user will the facility target \u2013 will it be purely for students or will you look to attract local clubs?\nIf the facility will be used by the public, what will the usage pattern be and will the facility need to be supervised? What about the level of income expected? How will the maintenance be managed and what is the useful life expectancy?\nThe more defined the facility\u2019s requirements are, the easier it will be to navigate the plethora of choices.\nThere are two forms of tendering \u2013 traditional procurement and design and build \u2013 and a professional advisor can explain the different options available to you. Depending on funding, there may also be a framework procurement route you will have to take in order to get your funding.\nFor all methods, it can be beneficial to study other, similar installations at other schools or colleges, when coming up with a specification for the design, build and performance requirements. Once there is a clear understanding of whom the facility will cater for and what the requirements are, it is important to communicate the requirements to those looking to deliver the project.\n5. Use an appropriate form of contract\nPaperwork is often overlooked in projects. Ensure contracts are simple, but include all the relevant information \u2013 this could include contractors\u2019 conditions, performance specification and, where appropriate, testing of the playing surface.\n6. Select the right contractor\nWhen selecting contractors, it is a good idea to look at other projects the candidates have completed. If possible, speak to their previous clients. There is no harm in doing your homework.\nMake sure to interview each candidate and ask questions \u2013 being comfortable with the people delivering your project will make things easier. It is also important to check the financial stability of candidates in order to avoid projects ending up half-finished.\n7. Agree a realistic programme\nDeadlines will help with the management of a project \u2013 as long as they are not unrealistic. To avoid putting unnecessary pressure on the project, proper time needs to be dedicated for finding funding, carrying out feasibility studies and planning.\nMost schools will look to undertake major works during holidays, but as nearly all construction projects are weather dependent, the possibility of running into term time needs to be considered.\nIf work is carried out during school times, coordinating the delivery times of materials and equipment can help minimise disruption at busy student pick up and drop off periods.\nEven when building work comes to an end, it doesn\u2019t mean that a facility project is complete. The time needed for handover and snagging \u2013 and in large projects, testing \u2013 should always be factored into a project plan.\nWith the UK climate, it\u2019s important to also remember that installation of certain surfaces is weather-dependent, so build in \u201cslippage\u201d to take account weather delays.\n8. Use appropriate supervision\nKeeping tabs on progress will make identifying issues easier and could potentially help prevent small delays becoming major ones. Appoint your own, single point of contact \u2013 rather than multiple ones \u2013 to help with effective and consistent communication with the contractor. Ensure there is competent project management in place.\nLog everything in writing, so you have an accurate record of the project progress \u2013 such as possible variations in contract \u2013 and of any agreements or requests. It is also a good idea to keep a photographic record of progress and stages of work.\nBe also mindful that, depending on funding sources, they may require you to submit all the tender documents and reports as part of your award of funding.\nSignificant consideration should also be given to site security during the works, in order to protect students. Identifying potential hazards \u2013 and highlighting them to students and staff \u2013 will be paramount.\n9. Comply with the conditions of contract\nConditions of contract are there for the protection of all parties. Keeping up your end of the deal can range from putting instructions into writing to ensuring funding is in place to make payments.\n10. Maintain the facility to the required standard\nA successful development project \u2013 delivered on time and on budget \u2013 doesn\u2019t guarantee a successful facility. To make sure a facility becomes a successful, long-term venue for students \u2013 and returns on its investment if in public use \u2013 it needs to be maintained properly.\nAll contractors will offer guidance on the maintenance requirements, so make sure you buy the appropriate maintenance equipment and that those undertaking the work are familiar with the maintenance requirements.\nIt is important to also understand the difference between maintenance that can be undertaken by school staff \u2013 such as regular cleaning \u2013 and when professional help is needed.\nMaintenance guidelines can be linked to warranties and national governing body performance requirements. By keeping up the maintenance and the performance, you reduce risk to students and players while extending the life of the facility.\nWhile regular maintenance is essential, you can avoid damage \u2013 and unnecessary, costly repairs \u2013 by advising the users on the \u201cdos and don\u2019ts\u201d at the facility.\nThe extra step \u2013 help is available\nWithin SAPCA\u2019s Professional Services Group (PSG) there are a number of consultants with the relevant experience and expertise to help out with any aspect of a sports facility project.

This year for the first time ever I went up to witness the 54th Head of the Charles regatta in person!\nThe very first rower to take on the race course this year was from Quintin Boat Club - in Chiswick, London, UK. This same rower went on to win his event as well.\nQuintin boat club was the club that I actually rowed out of a handful of times while studying abroad in London during the summer of 2014. So besides the excitement of seeing the first boat to kick off the whole regatta I had a more personal \u201cobligation\u201d to be up and out early to cheer on my British club!\nAs you might be able to guess, the Head of the Charles (HOCR) is a huge event. If you only one thing about the regatta it is quite possible the fact that an enormous amount of both rowers and spectators flock to Boston for the weekend, year after year. The nice thing about this race course is that there are several bridges lining the 5k race course - which provide spectators great views of the rowers.\nElliot Bridge\nYoung spectator at HOCR\nThe bridges aren\u2019t the only places filled with crowds of spectators cheering on the boats though.

        "raw_content": "Innovation Focus / February 2, 2018\nAI could revolutionize gene therapy and precision medicine (iStock).\nArtificial intelligence could revolutionize gene therapy and precision medicine, making individualized treatment protocols the norm.\nWhen research began on the human genome in the early 1990s, many doctors anticipated an age of precision medicine (PM), with patients taking highly customized drugs targeting the specific genetic drivers of their disease or condition. Today, as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) play a greater role in gene therapy, one-size-fits-all medicine is on the way out.\nAfter years of setbacks, gene therapy is now generating headlines for all the right reasons. In March 2017, it was announced that a French teenager had been cured of sickle-cell disease after receiving gene therapy in 2015. Last year also saw the US Food and Drug Administration approve the first gene therapies for treating forms of leukemia and lymphoma, as well as retinal dystrophy, an inherited disease.\nArtificial intelligence can help by boosting the precision of the editing process.\nNone of these therapies, based on now-outdated technology, benefited from AI in their development. Yet the rapidly increasing amount of genomic data being generated and shared underpins the demand for genetic treatments that are ever more efficient, stable and sophisticated. AI lies at the heart of this progression.\n\u201cDeveloping PM technologies such as gene therapy are driving the pharmaceutical industry toward drugs for ever narrower patient populations,\u201d says Claes Gustafsson, co-founder and chief commercial officer at ATUM, a California-based bioengineering service organization which applies machine learning to gene synthesis. \u201cFinding the intersect between the right drug and the right patient population is increasingly demanding AI.\u201d\nDevelopments in \u201cgene editing\u201d mean scientists are now altering the DNA of living patients, offering unprecedented opportunities in genomic medicine. Yet editing DNA safely and accurately can be a tricky business. AI can help by boosting the precision of the editing process.\nUsing data derived from global gene expression studies and epigenetic experiments, Edinburgh-based gene control expert Synpromics uses ML algorithms to predict which genomic sequences are involved in cell type-specific regulation of gene expression. This has driven development of the company\u2019s PromPT platform, which enables the design of \u201csynthetic promoters\u201d to regulate gene activity and precisely control protein production.\nATUM, the largest US-based provider of synthetic genes for industrial and academic use, has employed AI/ML to develop its Leap-In transposase technology, which enables any recombinant DNA sequence to behave as a transposon. A transposon is a DNA sequence that can change its position within a genome, creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell\u2019s genetic identity and genomic size. The company recently used ML-based engineering to make a frog transposon 300 times more efficient at introducing genes into mammalian cells.\n\u201cThe algorithms just look at the data to find patterns.\u201d\nOne of the most promising recent technological breakthroughs in genomic medicine is the development of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, which uses the Cas9 enzyme and a piece of RNA to mutate DNA. A dozen or so CRISPR-Cas9 trials are underway or planned, most led by Chinese researchers to combat various forms of cancer.\nTo boost accuracy in CRISPR editing, Microsoft\u2019s new Elevation project uses genomic data and AI to predict where best to edit a strand of DNA to alleviate side effects and speed up the editing process. Elevation and a complementary tool for predicting on-target effects called Azimuth have been made publicly available for free.\nUnderstanding the human genome and leveraging that understanding in genomic medicine are tasks requiring superhuman analytical ability. In this respect, AI is a game changer. \u201cGiven the scale of genomics data being generated, we are already at the point where computers are replacing human observers,\u201d says Dr. Michael Roberts, founder and chief scientific officer at Synpromics.\nWith the human genotype and phenotype related through myriad biophysical processes and interactions, most of which are not fully understood, the challenges facing those involved in gene therapy are steep.\n\u201cThe fact that these processes and interactions are so poorly understood is exactly why AI is so powerful,\u201d says ATUM\u2019s Gustafsson. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t rely on \u2018understanding\u2019 how all the pieces fit together. The algorithms just look at the data to find patterns.\u201d\nArtificial intelligenceCRISPR-Cas9Genetics\nNewerShining Bright\nOlder{Arab Health} Sharpen It Up!",

This is Call of Duty. We are talking about warfare and in this case Infinite Warfare... what we feel is that classically told narratives can take place in any setting.\"\nHe said that the story is about relatable characters, \"as relatable as they can be when they're a T-1 operator.\" Minkoff said that when human beings are put under pressure, \"interesting things happen.\"\n\"In this case, we have the additional pressure of our setting. Space is an inhospitable environment for humans,\" he explained. Minkoff added that players won't be controlling or facing off against any aliens.\n\"It's man vs. man. The truth is that war follows us everywhere,\" he said. \"We feel like this is going to give you the trademark Call of Duty feeling no matter what setting we're in. And fundamentally there is never fatigue for a good story well told, no matter what the genre.\"\nInfinite Warfare will come out in 2016 November for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Masters thesis, University of Gloucestershire.\nText (Redacted 3rd party copyright poems)\nBARRINGTON Imogen Gina MRes_Redacted 3rd party poems.pdf\nThe central importance of primary school teacher attitudes and expertise in optimising learning outcomes for gifted children is well documented. The literature review critically analysed current studies in this field and pointed to the need for further research in the application of the Gifted and Talented initiative. The Gifted and Talented initiative was a government education policy aiming to recognise and provide for more able children in primary and secondary grant maintained schools in England and Wales. This study aimed to discover how this initiative has been received in selected primary schools by presenting a snapshot of how teachers are identifying and providing for gifted pupils in the local area. As talented primary school pupils are provided with a range of activities on a regular basis, this study focused on the academically gifted cohort, where much resistance has been well recognised relating to elitism and stereotypical attitudes towards this more able group. The qualitative study took the form of five individual teacher/coordinator semi-structured interviews in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire, aiming to understand from a primary school teacher\u2019s perspective their interpretation and application of the policy documents relating to gifted children. The purpose of the study was to discover if gifted children are being identified, how they are being identified and, if so, what type of provision is being offered. The interview material consisted of transcripts and associated documents provided by teacher/coordinators and others obtained through research. Analysis was undertaken through thematic coding scrutiny and document comparisons of transcripts, where subjectivity is recognised due to prior involvement in education -situated knowledge. The findings suggest that the majority of schools in the local area are responding to the needs of gifted children, but the level of response differs significantly with individual school approaches and situational factors. Due to OfSTED inspection regimes that necessitate appropriate challenge for all pupils, including the gifted, teachers who may be sceptical are obliged to conform to a degree.\nFuller, Mary mfuller@glos.ac.uk UNSPECIFIED\nNichol, Lynn lnichol@glos.ac.uk UNSPECIFIED\nGifted children; Gifted and Talented initiative; Education policy, England; Primary school pupils; Primary school teachers, attitude;\nTeacher Perceptions and Responses to the Implementation of the Gifted and Talented Initiative in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Primary Schools.

        "raw_content": "Today\u2019s guest post is written by Stephen from the trip goes on, please scroll down to the bottom of this post where you can find his details.\nWhen travelling I like to try and find little gems that few others know about (don\u2019t we all) and I have been lucky enough to travel to some truly incredible places. Here I list my top 5 off the beaten path destinations. I hope you enjoy this article and can discover these or your own hidden gems too!\nTokmok \u2013 Kyrgyzstan\nA fairy-tale tower flanked by the imposing Tian Shan Mountains make this small town an hour outside of Bishkek well worth a visit. The Burana Tower is a large minaret situated in the small town of Tokmok in northern Kyrgyzstan. The site represents the last remaining part of the ancient 9th century city of Balasagun. The entire museum complex today covers some 36 hectares. It includes the tower itself, reconstructions of mausoleums found on the site, a mound that is all that remains of the palace/citadel, a collection of balbals (grave markers used by nomadic Turkic peoples who used to roam Central Asia) and petroglyphs (paintings on stones) and a small Museum.\nFor more detailed information on how to get there see my article about the Burana Tower.\nSiguniangshan National Park \u2013 China\nSiguniangshan, or Four Sisters Mountain, is located in China\u2019s South-western Sichuan Province, bordering Tibet. Colourful prayer flags flutter in the wind beneath majestic snow-capped peaks making this is truly mystical place.\nIf you don\u2019t fancy trying to summit one of the four peaks (6,000+ metres) then why not take a leisurely hike along one of the three valleys that make up this world heritage site.\nSiguniangshan is easily reachable from Chengdu (five hours by bus through incredible mountain scenery) which in turn has many flights and train services to Beijing, Shanghai and international destinations.\nFor more detailed information on how to get there see my article about Siguniangshan.\nKaeng Krachan National Park \u2013 Thailand\nKaeng Krachan National Park is not very easy to get to if you don\u2019t have your own transport, but Not easy to get to if you don\u2019t have your own transport, but would be great if you were travelling with a caravan or motor home. This helps make it a rewardingly tranquil destination away from the partygoers and backpackers that descent on Thailand.\nThe park is home to a vast array of wildlife including elephants, tigers, leopards, monkeys, rare birds, butterflies, snakes, spiders and lizards to name but a few.\nTo get to the park you must travel from Bangkok to Hua Hin (plenty of buses from the airport and city centre) and then take a private taxi to the national park headquarters. From there you must then arrange a 4X4 with the park rangers to come and collect you and drive deep into the jungle to one of the campsites.\nFor more detailed information on how to get there see my article about Kaeng Krachan National Park.\nMongolia is vast and empty, making it the perfect place to escape the crowds and set off on your own adventure. Whether camel trekking in the Gobi Desert, staying with nomadic families out on the steppe or watching eagle-hunters practice their ancient way of life, Mongolia offers something for everyone.\nThere are many tourist agencies both online and in the nation\u2019s capital, Ulaan Bataar, that can arrange tours to suit all budgets and ability levels.\nFor more detailed information on how to get there see my article about Mongolia.\nKarakum Desert \u2013 Turkmenistan\nThe small desert village of Yerbent is an oasis in the Karakum Desert and offers a small glimpse of rural life in Turkmenistan. Situated just off the main Ashgabat to Konye Urgench highway (well, pot holed mud track with numerous police checkpoints), this dusty settlement looks like something straight out of a Mad Max film. Decaying Russian jeeps sit amongst rusting engine parts and nestled between small shacks and yurts. Dogs, chickens and camels roam the scorching sand among the battered buildings. The village is slowly being consumed by the desert due to the overgrazing of camels and might one day be eaten up entirely by the desert.\nFarther along the same highway is the \u201cDoor to Hell\u201d or Darvaza Gas Crater, a truly unique place hidden in this already secretive country. A freak drilling accident in 1971 led to the opening up of a large crater in the ground some 69 metres (226ft) in diameter and 30 metres (98ft) deep. Natural gas was escaping from the crater so in a moment of Soviet genius, it was decided to set fire to the pit and burn off the excess gas. The engineers expected this to take about a week, but over 45 years later it is still burning strong!\nTo get to Yerbent or Darvaza you must go as part of a tour, or if you are lucky enough to obtain a transit VISA, you may take a marshrutka (minivan with a set route) from the capital Ashgabat.\nFor more detailed information on how to get click here: Darvaza.\nStephen Rohan is an English teacher currently living and working in China.

Ozzy Osbourne has taken this world by surprise with his stunning actions, energetic motivation, and of course his music. His presence in the music industry inspired many artists today, and has taken everyone by surprise.

One is the Artists and repertoire, which develop and coordinate talent. The Operations manage the technical aspects of the recording, such as: sound technicians, musicians, and even the people that\ncopy the discs(148). Marketing and promotion decide the best way to sell the record, while Distribution gets the record in stores. Lastly, and probably most importantly, is the Administration. This handles the bills and keeps track of how well the record is doing in the market(148). Without the help of each of these particular levels, the recording industry would have problems. The only other problem would be to make sure people hear the music and buy the record.\nThe one thing about the recording industry is that, it depends on the radio, as well as, the radio depends on the recording industry(149). Both need one another for profit. Without the recording industry, the radio would be ...\non the record and got credit for it(154).\nAlthough the recording industry seems hard and complicated, it really isn\u2019t. Everything was just a refinement of what Edison built and carried a little bit further(155).

David Lean's sweeping, magisterial direction, the gnomic complexity of the screenplay by Robert Bolt and Michael Wilson, and the awe-inspiring cinematography by Freddie Young combined to make this a thinking person's spectacular. Peter O'Toole's intense, charismatic performance in the title role vaulted him to stardom; he has never been better than as the British army officer who becomes a leader of Arab warriors.

Lawrence will shift from the subordinate side to the dominant as his journey progresses.\nAnother aspect to a film is the soundtrack. This emphasizes scenes and adds a dramatic element to the film. For example, the tempo of the music may quicken when a battle starts. This will make the audience feel involved in the scene as a first hand observer of the event.\nAnother feature of film technique is the use of the camera. Panning, long shots, or close ups will emphasize certain elements of an object or a character. Long shots of the sun show the heat, power, and ruthless pain it inflicts on the travelers in the desert. Close ups of characters' faces give the audience a sense of how the characters are dealing with situations. David Lean frames Lawrence's face putting his bright blue eyes in the middle of the screen, which is the focus of the audiences attention.\nThe final film technique used in Lawrence of Arabia is the use of a \"back flash\".

        "raw_content": "The Italian\u2019s immense influence on other artists and the world in general is something yet to be seen again. Even though he spent his life in his homeland, Italy, Michelangelo\u2019s works are now part of exhibitions around the world.\nThousands of tourists and art enthusiasts form queues in front of museums just to take a peek at his creations. His legacy is so powerful that witnessing his art is looking into the eyes of history and revolution. Just knowing that you\u2019re looking at something he once stared at is exciting to say the least.\nAlthough he may be more famous for his sculptures, Michelangelo\u2019s paintings are something extraordinary as well.\nHere\u2019s a list of some of them you can (and should!) find in museums across Europe!\nThe Sistine Chapel Ceiling, Vatican\nWhen it comes to Michelangelo paintings, this group of frescoes is by far the most grandiose one. They cover the entire ceiling of Vatican\u2019s most important chapel and have a legendary status in the art world.\nMichelangelo was the type of person who wouldn\u2019t settle for less when it came to his work. The Sistine Chapel is the perfect example. When the pope asked him to depict the 12 Apostles on the ceiling, he ended up painting over 300 figures. What was supposed to be a simple frescoe became one of the most complex paintings in history.\nThe centerpiece is The Creation of Adam, an iconic scene from the Book of Genesis. Wherever you\u2019re from, you must have seen it at least once in your lifetime. God and Adam almost touching fingers is not only familiar to art historians, but important for pop culture as well!\nYou will need a moment just to take it all in. All the faces, the shadows and details. It\u2019s hard to imagine someone standing in the same position for years until they\u2019ve created perfection in their own eyes. But that\u2019s what truly makes a genius stick out from everyone else!\nThe Vatican is famous for having one of the most stunning art collections in the entire world. It is the only state whose cultural property is completely protected in case of war. Among many world class artists, Michelangelo\u2019s paintings and sculptures have a prestigious position.\nThey say all roads lead to Rome. If you find yourself there, make sure the road leads you to the Vatican as well. The Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums are must see!\nDoni Tondo, Uffizi Gallery, Florence\nThis Michelangelo painting is a perfect representation of his signature techniques and colors. Even though the painting hasn\u2019t been signed, there is no doubt that this is his work of art.\nIt is unique since this is the only saved panel painting by Michelangelo that has been completely finished. The theme is once again Biblical. It portrays the Holy Family \u2013 Mary, Joseph and Jesus.\nThis Michelangelo painting is so authentic and obviously his that experts have noted it even has many characteristics of sculptures. Buonarroti, primarily a sculptor, had successfully transferred his famous skills and style from marble to wood.\nThe name Doni comes from its owner, Agnolo Doni, who had it made to celebrate his marriage. Tondo refers to the circular form of the panel, which was very popular during the Renaissance.\nThe Doni Tondo can be found in the Gallerie degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy. The Uffizi has a rich collection of paintings and sculptures, especially works of famous Italian artists. Have in mind that there\u2019s an entire room on the 2nd floor dedicated to Michelangelo only. Grab a slice of pizza and stop by the Gallery later to enjoy some food for the soul! Get your timed entrance ticket here.\nThe Manchester Madonna, National Gallery, London\nThis unfinished painting was attributed to Michelangelo long after his death. This is a panel, an art form so rare with Buonarotti, that there are only a couple left.\nOriginally called The Virgin and Child with Saint John and Angels, it shows Virgin Mary in a heartbreaking scene. She\u2019s holding an open book in her hand and trying to keep it away from Jesus. Many have interpreted this as her trying to save him from reading about his pain and suffering in the future.\nThe name Manchester Madonna comes from the fact it caused a real frenzy when it first came to Manchester in 1857. The people were beyond excited about it and over a million of them saw it in only a few months.\nToday, it can be seen in the UK capital\u2019s National Gallery. This magnificent art museum has an impressive collection of some of the most famous art ever. You can book a walking tour of the National Gallery and the British Museum here. Van Gogh\u2019s Sunflowers and Venus and Mars by Botticelli are only a couple you must see with your own eyes. Michelangelo is high up on that list as well!\nThe Last Judgement, Sistine Chapel, Vatican\nWe\u2019ve come full circle and returned to the Vatican. Il Giudizio Universale covers the entire wall behind the altar and it took Buonarroti 9 years to finish!\nMany believe that this Michelangelo painting is his greatest masterpiece ever. It was heavily inspired by Dante\u2019s Divine Comedy and it was just as revolutionary.\nTraditionally, the Earth, heaven and hell were always shown as horizontal layers, completely different in characteristics. However, Michelangelo distanced himself from the usual depiction. In his painting, all three form a single large space and neither section is entirely spared from chaos.\nThe figure of Jesus Christ takes the very central position. He is looking down and, just by waving his hand, deciding the fate of the whole human race. Compared to him, everyone looks powerless.\nMany believe Michelangelo incorporated his self-portrait in the frescoe. A morbid detail of St. Bartholomew holding his own skin in his hands might distract you from it. But, if you look closely, the face he\u2019s holding is very similar to Michelangelo\u2019s.\nIf you only had to see one Michelangelo painting, it might as well be this one!",

        "raw_content": "Gwar Guitarist Cory Smoot Found Dead\nLong-running metal icons Gwar are currently in the midst of an extensive North American tour, but the group have been hit with tragedy: guitarist Cory Smoot was found dead this morning (November 3). The cause of death is still unknown.\nSmoot played the character of Flattus Maximus, a role he took over in 2002. In response to his death, Gwar founder Dave Brockie (aka Oderus Urungus) issued the following statement to MetalSucks:\nIt is with a sense of profound loss and tragedy that the members of GWAR must announce the passing of their long time guitarist and beloved friend Cory Smoot, also known to thousands of metal fans worldwide as Flattus Maximus. Cory was found deceased this morning as the band prepared for a border crossing. There is no word as to the cause of death and the members of GWAR are completely shocked and devastated that this has occurred. At this point there is no word on arrangements and the disposition of the remainder of GWAR's current North American tour, nor are there any details regarding long term plans. At this point we are just dealing with the loss of our dear friend and brother, one of the most talented guitar players in metal today. We ask that our fans and the media be respectful of our request for privacy for those that have suffered this terrible loss. A full statement will be coming in the next day or so, in the meantime please give your thoughts and your prayers to Cory, his family, and all the people that love him.\nAs Blabbermouth notes, Smoot owned the Karma Productions studio and received a producer credit on the Gwar albums Beyond Hell (2006), Lust in Space (2009) and Bloody Pit of Horror (2010). Although several guitarists performed as Flattus, Smoot held the role for the longest, and even wrote some of Gwar's recent material.\nFollowing the band's recent show in Minneapolis, MN, on November 2, they were preparing to cross the Canadian border for dates in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. Stay tuned for updates about the status of those gigs.

        "raw_content": "Faust \u2014 BBC Sessions+\n(ReR Megacorp F5, 1973/2001, CD)\nThe \u201cBBC\u201d part of Sessions + is a twenty minute piece named simply for its date of broadcast: \u201cBBC 1.3.73.\u201d The first section of this track (\u201cThe Lurcher\u201d) is a bass and drum groove with a highly effected sax solo. Next comes almost twelve minutes of droning guitars and spacey effects over an insistent beat. This section is dubbed \u201cKraut Rock\u201d; it waxes and wanes in intensity over its course, though it doesn\u2019t really feature any sort of a melody or even improvised solo. The BBC session finishes off with a ditty called \u201cDo So,\u201d with silly Faustian singing (\u201cI see you are the one to be me\u201d) over sparse accompaniment. It\u2019s a little like one of those psychedelic Soft Machine songs off the first album. The \u201cPlus\u201d part of Sessions + consists of five previously unreleased recordings (dates and sources uncredited) and a pair of previously released tracks. Their inventive spirit and sense of adventure sometimes leads them off into questionable territory, but chances are there\u2019s a jump cut to something different coming up if things get out of hand. If you\u2019ve heard any other Faust from this time period, you know what to expect: jamming, effects, tape manipulation, goofy humor. If you\u2019re not familiar with them, think of Ummagumma with more studio tricks and you won\u2019t be far off. I\u2019m not sure I\u2019d recommend this CD to Faust newbies, but for fans, this should prove a welcome addition to the canon.\nRelated artist(s): Faust\nHomestead & Wolfe - Our Times \u2013 Homestead & Wolfe represents an obscure bit of early 70s Bay Area music history.

Thanks to his work-ethic, he got into private banking. Miller met some fantastic entrepreneurs while on his job. He learned a lot from them and decided to make a blunt move: becoming a business owner himself. After he left the bank, his clients felt let down by Miller. We will let you decide for yourself\u2026\nRobert Miller started his career as an administrator in a bank but quickly became a manager. Miller already knew so much about finances and during his time at the bank he learned even more. His bosses loved him, because he knew how to make the bank tons of money. The manager would encourage people to take risky options at the bank and told them they would make much money in return. But of course, like always the bank won. In return for his good services to the bank, Miller would often receive big bonuses.\nRobert Miller worked at a bank for more than 20 years.\nBut Miller knew he always wanted more. Since he was young, he always wanted to start his own company, and that\u2019s exactly what he did. After having worked for 25 years at the bank, he left behind his old life and built a hugely successful company. Like everyone who has his own company, Miller\u2019s number one objective was to make as much money as possible. To do so, he used the same old tactics he also used at the banks: convince your clients to invest a lot and in return become rich. He later resigned as CEO and focussed on other activities.\nMiller was a co-author on a book on entrepreneurship.\nWhether you like Miller\u2019s way of working or not, you can\u2019t deny that he has a lot of good idea\u2019s and that he knows how to run a successful company. He didn\u2019t want to keep all his knowledge for himself and decided to cowrite a book about entrepreneurship.Getting More: How You Can Negotiate to Succeed in Work and Life also exists as an ebook. Do you feel you need to choose between building a successful business or living the life of your dreams? You don\u2019t have to choose.

        "raw_content": "Marinus Claeszoon van Reymerswaele\nBosch produced several triptychs, works of three paintings on wooden panels that are attached to each other. Among his most famous is The Garden of Earthly Delights. This triptych depicts paradise with Adam and Eve and many wondrous animals on the left panel, the earthly delights with numerous nude figures and tremendous fruit and birds on the middle panel, and hell with depictions of fantastic punishments of the various types of sinners on the right panel. When the exterior panels are closed the viewer can see, painted in grisaille, God creating the Earth. These paintings have a rough surface from the application of paint; this contrasts with the traditional Flemish style of paintings, where the smooth surface attempts to hide the fact that the painting is man-made.\nBosch never dated his paintings and may have signed only some of them (other signatures are certainly not his). Fewer than 25 paintings remain today that can be attributed to him. Philip II of Spain acquired many of Bosch's paintings after the painter's death; as a result, the Prado Museum in Madrid now owns several of his works, including The Garden of Earthly Delights.\nPieter Brueghel the Elder was influenced by Bosch's work and produced several paintings in a similar style, including the 1562 work The Triumph of Death.\nNetherlandish Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes (Genre Painting). He is nicknamed 'Peasant Bruegel' to distinguish him from other members of the Brueghel dynasty, but is also the one generally meant when the context does not make clear which \"Bruegel\" is being referred to. From 1559 he dropped the 'h' from his name and started signing his paintings as Bruegel.\nUsually known as Pieter Bruegel the Elder to distinguish him from his elder son, was the first in a family of Flemish painters. He spelled his name Brueghel until 1559, and his sons retained the \"h\" in the spelling of their names.\nMarinus Claeszoon van Reymerswaele (Reimerswaal, The Netherlands, c. 1490 \u2013 c. 1546) was a Dutch painter. He worked in Zeeland from 1533-1545. Hence he is also named Marinus de Seeu (from Zeeland). He studied at the University of Leuven (1504) and was trained as a painter in Antwerp (1509).\nHis name is known from a small number of signed panels. Another number of paintings is attributed to Marinus on stylistic grounds. His body of work consists of a relatively small number of themes only, mostly adapted from Quentin Massys and Albrecht D\u00fcrer: with the secular imagery as despised money lenders and tax collectors.\nCatherine was born in Antwerp, Flanders. She learned to paint from her father, and even helped him with some of his works. Most of her paintings are of wealthy men and women of her time period. She was a very successful painter, and Queen Mary of Hungary, was her main supporter. When the queen resigned her regency in 1556, she invited Mary and her husband to join her in Spain. They remained there until 1558, until the Queen died, and then they returned to Antwerp. The Queen showed her appreciation by leaving Catherina and her family enough money to live the rest of their lives in comfort.",

        "raw_content": "Dark fiber deals\nThe demand for fiber characterization services is increasing in many territories due to the increasing complexity of the competitive telecoms markets. In the UK for example, there are many fiber networks operated by different companies. However there are very few new networks being built due to the very high cost of construction and the lack of money in the telecoms industry! This means that as new customers are signed up then often fairly complex dark fiber deals are being done sometimes with several different providers, to stitch together a new fiber route whilst installing the minimum amount of new fiber.\nThis fiber route then needs to be characterized.\nSince there are few new cables going in, then network operators need to upgrade their existing infrastructure to operate at higher data rates and/or using DWDM or CWDM systems over extended wavelength ranges.\nIt is likely that older fibers were never tested for Chromatic dispersion or PMD. At 40Gb/s data rates it may be necessary to know the chromatic dispersion precisely so that it can be compensated for with sufficient precision. Following ITU Recommendations, an upgrade from 10Gb/s to 40Gb/s means that the CD compensation has to be 16 times more precise!\nPMD was unlikely to be a limiting factor on the performance of 2.5Gb/s systems, but can become critical at 1 0Gb/s and at 40Gb/s it is likely to be a problem on many older fibers.\n2005 onward saw a revival of merger and acquisition activity in the UK telecoms marketplace.-rho two major cable TV companies nil: and Telewest merged and are now Virgin Media; Cable & Wireless bought Energis; BskyB bought Easynet.\nDue diligence studies by purchasers of networks may require an independent audit of the quality and value of the assets being purchased.\nAlthough there are few new networks being installed in mature telecoms markets such as Europe, there are many territories where new networks are still being deployed. There\u2019s lots of activity in China & other Far East countries as well as development programs in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere.",

(resources, links)\nI've just been searching for a story I read in the last few days, but I can't find it or the source that led me to it. However, in the article it claimed that over 90% of Saudis supported IS.\nIt was entitled something like the real story of ISIS and I think it was on an Indian site. I'll try to remember more, but I'm not hopeful.\nHere's the link for the full results of the survey of Muslims in Britain for the C4 programme going out tomorrow night. It's long and very detailed and although I've only had a glance it promises to be very revealing. For instance, it shows the relative proportion born here or outside the country, for responders in different regions. Some differences are quite marked and in London 68% were foreign-born compared with 36% in \"Yorkshire and the Humber\".\nhttp://www.icmunlimited.com/data/media/pdf/Mulims-full-suite-data-plus-topline.pdf\nBTW it's not as recent as you might expect - it was done in Spring last year so has been kept under wraps for rather a long time. I looked it up because of a claim (according to the Daily Mail) that it was skewed because it selected people in \"deprived areas\".\nHowever, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said it \u2018did not recognise\u2019 Mr Phillips\u2019 analysis, which was based on a Channel 4 poll for a documentary tomorrow night.\nIt also questioned the decision to survey some of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the UK with a disproportionately high number of people with a Pakistani or Bangladeshi ethnicity.\nIt comes amid fears of a divide in society. Pictured is a muslim woman in a niqab selling ice cream to a child in Dewsbury (file picture)\n\u2018Choosing specifically to poll in areas that are poor and more religiously conservative, skews the results and makes it indicative of these areas and not of British Muslims nationally,\u2019 the MCB said.\nI think the truth is probably \"surveying Muslims in proportion to the number of them in an area is a logical and sensible way in which to establish their feelings\".\nhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3535000/Yes-Muslims-braver-integrate-says-Labour-MP-former-equalities-chief-s-call-provokes-furious-backlash.html#ixzz45cl8YY8w\nIncidentally, the Mail uses the article as an excuse to republish this photograph from Dewsbury - so why shouldn't I do the same?\nby HerbM \u00bb Sat Apr 16, 2016 8:14 pm\nThis may also be useful:\nReligious Committment\nhttp://www.pewforum.org/2012/08/09/the-worlds-muslims-unity-and-diversity-2-religious-commitment/\nHerbM wrote: This may also be useful:\nInteresting, but what a pity it doesn't include Western Europe or the Americas.

        "title": "Daily Gold Count (continued) - Technical Watch Forum",
        "raw_content": "TW Chat Room > Categories > Elliott Wave > Daily Gold Count (continued)\nTime to start a new thread on this subject.\nThe previous thread can be found at http://tinyurl.com/3jkphh\nUp until the end of August, all seemed well and good with the ongoing preferred count consideration being that the price top we saw in March was that of Intermediate Wave (3) of Primary Wave {5}. After all, everything was working out famously since the summer of 2005, so why change now? However, a couple of guidelines of Elliott were broken during what should had been a 4th wave correctional process that called this idea into question, so let's take a look at what has happened since.\nThe first problem was that the price pattern was able to penetrate the 4th wave of one lesser degree to the downside at the early part of September, with the back breaking problem being that the price action retraced more than .618 percent of the entire advance from the January 2007 lows. Now, although something like this may have been due to the growing global financial problems, something like this was not at all consistent to this methodology after achieving what looked to be an extended third wave price pattern from these same January lows.\nThe other critical problem with this corrective count came with the internals that continued to come apart at the seams during this same time period - where one could allow the broader measure of the precious metals stocks to continue this kind of liquidation, but to have the cream of these same stocks, those components in the Gold/Silver Index (XAU), to see this unwinding process, was not at all consistent to any price pattern that still has Primary Wave [5} directly ahead of it. It is, in fact, because of this weakness in the XAU, that should had kept many buyers defensive during this final price decay period in the gold price pattern in the beginning of September.\nAnd now we know why this happened after this last weeks financial problems coming to a head, and why the count consideration shown below has been adjusted as the best fit, at least for now.\nFor those who may wondering \"why would gold be as weak as it is under such financial stress\", one might consider that gold is not what many believe it to be in times of financial stress. For you see, the price of gold doesn't provide a \"safe heaven\" during times of when you're needing to generate cash reserves, or like what's been happening in the last couple weeks, if you can't sell one thing to offset losses in another arena, you will tend to find anything to sell just so you can, again, increase these same cash reserves (whether it's for margin calls, or just for the sake of self preservation). This would probably explain the main reason why the US Dollar has been rallying over the last couple of months (starting with the declining price of crude oil in August)...a shortage of currency (cash) will tend to do what a lack of any supply will do, increase in value.\nIt's also good to remember that the price of gold has a direct correlation to the amount of any excess liquidity between the four major asset classes (gold, commodities, debt, and equities), and in this area, gold is telling us that even though we have had a remarkable barrage of government interventions over the last several weeks, what's been made available during this time is still not enough to feed all of the tributaries of this same river of money to open gold's (savings) bypass of this same excess. In fact, the crash in equities tells us that we are still \"deflating\" when it comes to this same excess (at an accelerated rate), and bringing home this thought process, even gold itself will be vulnerable to this same kind of crash type event if the current ammunition continues to have little in the way of shoring up the levees on this same river of liquidity.\nSuffice it to say, the current count reflects this idea...that gold is, more than likely, in a Primary degree correction at this time. Now whether this correction turns out to be a simple structure where we should quickly test the 2006 triangular price lows, or not, remains to be seen. Another idea I'm playing with would be a more complex correction where Primary Wave {A} is only the first part, Primary Wave {B} our expected triangle (outlined in gray - in progress), and then Primary Wave {C} testing these same 2006 lows (or even lower), might also be worth considering if given the current push and pull between this same global fire hose of liquidity and the selling for spendable cash scenario continues.\nWhatever the future holds, until the internals of the precious metals stocks begin to show some sort of support in the near future, it would probably be most advantageous to continue to shy away from this market in general, unless, you're playing the metal itself. After all, precious metals stocks are stocks, and they are not at all immuned from any further weakness we might have going forward if the current \"revaluation\" process has not been completed.",

The uptake of mobile telephony in the developing world and the dramatic decline in the cost of processing power virtually guarantees that there will be hundreds of millions of mobile web devices available within a few years, with data services provided with broad geographic coverage.\nThe growth of the Internet will have a major impact on the developing countries, where mobile phone use is expanding rapidly. It is possible that very soon the mobile phone will become the principal method of Internet access within those countries. People and organizations involved with economic and social development can use this leverage to provide services to hundreds of millions of people heretofore not connected, but only if the regulatory framework is supportive and only if standards are in place to assure interoperability in this new dimension of Internet expansion.\nThis new environment raises issues of the role of telecomm regulation and interoperability and cross-regulatory issues with the financial sector as m-commerce and m-banking applications migrate to such devices. The borderless nature of the Internet will exacerbate problems as these devices move around the world.\nThe workshop will discuss these issues both from a normative perspective and on the basis of existing initial deployments.\nTim Berners-Lee, Chair, World Wide Web Consortium (U.S.) (yes)\nAmerico Muchanga, Special Assistant to the Minister of Science, Mozambique (yes)\nSt\u00e9phane Boyera, Manager, Web for Society Program, Web Foundation (France) (yes)\nKen Banks, Kiwanja.net, NGO activist, Africa (not yet))\nNii Quaynor, Minister of Telecommunications, Ghana (not yet)\nJacqueline Ruff, Vice President, Verizon (not yet)\nPeter Hellmonds, Nokia-Siemens (not yet)\nCharles Kenney, ICTD Division, The World Bank (not yet)\nI personally know all of these individuals well, and I expect to approach the remainder of them this week. (I have just returned from an exhausting ICANN meeting in and travel to Sydney, Australia).\nWe will have representatives from government, civil society, the business community and the technical community. Representatives will come from North America, Europe, and Africa.\nYes. In particular, representatives of the telecommunications sector and the banking community will be useful in that a major application, m-banking, requires that the legislative and regulatory frameworks of a country do not conflict and weaken the scope of applications in this area.\ninternet access -9\ninternet expansion -9",

        "title": "Book Review: Chris Grosso's Indie Spiritualist | Full Contact Enlightenment",
        "raw_content": "Book Review: Indie Spritualist by Chris Grosso\ntags: Chris Grosso, Indie Spiritualist, multi-faith, punk rock, Ram Dass, recovery\nIndie Spiritualist is the first book from Chris Grosso, a multi-faith, multi-disciplinary chap who runs a website of the same name. I say multi-faith in that much of Chris\u2019 belief system has been formed by many different religious and spiritual traditions as he has taken the approach of seeing what fits or doesn\u2019t fit for him. I say mult-disciplinary in that Chris can be described in many ways \u2013 musician, writer, tattooed dude, skateboarder, recovering addict, super-fan of all kinds of musical styles, husband, father, brother \u2026 and on and on. The guy is diverse. These interests all form the crux of the book which is a compilation of short stories relating his journey both as a recovering addict, as well as someone who has worked with intense suffering only to then embark on a path of self-inquiry and spiritual inquisitiveness to discover a more meaningful life.\nThe book recounts Chris\u2019 journey \u2013 all of the pain, suffering, low times and serious issues with addiction. His journey was a cycle of detention, detox, rehab, release, suffering and repeat on a path littered with some scary, dark places. He hit rock bottom and yet was able to discover and tap into the wisdom to know that a new way was necessary in order for his survival.\nDon\u2019t be fooled. \u2018Indie Spritualist\u2019 isn\u2019t all doom and gloom though. There is a brightness and a humour within the pages which comes from Chris\u2019 personality and his unique and somewhat self-effacing voice. He is a humble fellow and conveys his personal joys with the same attention to detail and integrity as those of his lowest and most embarrassing experiences. It is an unflinching look at both the beauty and the grotesque and is a brave work in this respect.\nThe book speaks to those who aren\u2019t really into the new-agey approach which made it right up my alley. It is an accessible spiritual book for both youth and those who are young at heart. Be warned, there\u2019s quite a bit of reference made to bands, authors and films and not to suggest that this book may not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, but it\u2019s truly going to resonate for those who are familiar with alternative culture in some way. If you don\u2019t know who Slayer, Jason Voorhees, Bukowski or 108 are, you might not be quick on the uptake for getting a few of the references.\n\u2018Indie Spiritualist\u2019 is about recovery. self inquiry and how to live an authentic life. Chris\u2019 approach is to encourage readers to find their own path and roll their own spirituality, rather than adopt something that doesn\u2019t speak to them. No bullshit. No dogma. He shares many of the teachings that resonate with him as well as recounts experiences and mentors that helped him on his spiritual path.\nOf all of the chapters, the one where he speaks to his heart connection with Ram Dass is the one that stands out to me as the most profound and where Chris\u2019 connection with a spiritual teacher shines through. I would have enjoyed a larger section of the book being devoted to the teachers and books that influenced Chris in one area rather than appearing in unrelated short stories, but that\u2019s just me and my anal-retentive style manifesting itself. Also, as a Buddhist, I would have liked to have seen a dictionary of terms given that there was a bit of lingo that was outside of my personal framework. Perhaps the intention is to inspire the reader to go and do some spiritual seeking and research, but for those who are already dedicated to a particular tradition, it would have been useful to have some of these definitions available. Again, that may be my anal-retentitiveness speaking as well as a bit of laziness (we all have our weaknesses right?).\nAn interesting feature of the book is the inclusion of links to Chris\u2019 original music, several You Tube clips and a great list of suggestions on books, movies, music and practices that he\u2019s into. I really liked this multi-media approach and found that it added much to the experience and helped to discover more about Chris Grosso \u2013 both past and present. (This aspect of the book negates my previous mention of wanting a glossary of spiritual terms as the multi-media bits really spoke to a universal language).\n\u2018Indie Spiritualist\u2019 is an important addition to the modern-day spiritual bookshelf in that it provides a glimpse into the journey of someone who isn\u2019t just practicing from one spiritual tradition, such as Noah Levine and Brad Warner (fellow Buddhists), but the journey of Chris Grosso, who is unabashedly a multi-faith practitioner sampling and cultivating wisdom from many spiritual traditions. It\u2019s not preachy, but rather demonstrates how he has found his own path and he encourages readers to try the same approach for themselves. He has a warmth and a passion for sharing his story and this comes through within Indie Spiritualist. His goal of helping individuals accept and love themselves as well as to break free from suffering is essential in our world and I\u2019d encourage you to either read the book or gift it to someone who is currently seeking a new way of breaking free from addiction, despair or of embarking on their own path of self-discovery.\nSo much of his story resonated with my personal journey and just as Chris mentions in the book how much he enjoys meeting and hearing about those spiritual practitioners who may not fit the mold of the \u2018peace, love, long-haired hippy spiritual practitioners\u2019 but rather are into loud music, black band t shirts and skateboarding, I felt the same kinship in reading his book. Chris is very humble and self-effacing but he should be very proud of this book. I look forward to reading more from him both on his website and hopefully in future books.\n*Also, I had no idea that Krishna Das was in Blue Oyster Cult. I have to thank this book for this illuminating fact!\nJason permalink\nExcellent book. Excellent review.\nThanks. I\u2019ve been blessed with a pile of really inspiring books on my reading list lately and Chris\u2019 didn\u2019t disappoint at all!",

        "raw_content": "Required Counseling to get a Reverse Mortgage\nA FHA Insured Reverse Mortgage (HECM's) requires counseling before your loan file can be processed including but not limited to ordering your appraisal.\nFor those of us who have been in the business a while all remember sending our first time home buyers to get a certificate by taking a counseling class to be able to close their loans. Ironically because of our ages, you could have been one of these. Which would not seem fair to have to take a class when you purchased your first home and then again when you got your \"New Lease on Life\", with a reverse mortgage, lol. Back then, it was required at the very end of the transaction in order to make the PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance) company happy, so they would insure the loan, with the first time home buyer's low down payment.\nSo now the main thing that has changed is I send my customers to their counseling class to get their certificate relatively upfront in the beginning of the transaction, not the end. It is really very similar, a third party conducting a long interview (usually on the phone) to make sure the customer/buyer/borrower, understands what they are getting into and what their responsibilities are. The counselor will send on lot of time on reviewing your understanding that you will still own the home and therefore it is you, who must still pay your taxes and insurance and keep up your home, even though you will no longer have a mortgage payment and may even be receiving a monthly check. The counselor in many ways confirms that I have done my initial job to cover all this information accurately, and provide four or five specific documents on a timely fashion.\nGenerally the counselor will do a very good job reviewing how a reverse mortgage works and the benefits of them. The will cover the costs of them in a very generic fashion, not necessarily specifically, yours. They will cover the impact on your estate and your heirs. There is a page on this website dedicated to that subject. Please sure to read that from top to bottom its tap button is labeled \"The Kid's Inheritance.\"\nThe Senior (you) will be given a code, by or from me, to give to the counselor so if the counselor can, should they wish to be able to actually view copies of these documents online, and other papers you have been given that pertain to the disclosures associated with your loan.\nAs part of those disclosures I initially give the borrower/client (you) is about the \"counseling\" process itself, including a list of independent counseling organizations and it will be necessary for you to call some of them on the list and choose which one on your own. Generally, these companies accommodate the senior with a telephone counseling session therefore since it can be on the phone you can use any of them, anywhere in the United States. Initially when you call you will only be scheduling the counseling session which will be normally schedule about 12 days out or more so you will want to make that call soon. All of my clients have taken their counseling on the phone, but the counseling session can take place in person or on the phone. It normally takes about 45 minutes on the phone with the counselor. It is very important to adhere to the scheduled time just like a doctor's appointment, including if you can not make the scheduled time to call in advance and reschedule.",

        "raw_content": "The Apple Watch Series 4 was shipped a few months back and at that time the electrocardiogram feature was under process. But the process has been complete and the US based tech giant has released its Watch OS 5.1.2 update, which has added the much awaited ECG app. As the users have already been getting notifications on irregular heart rhythms, the ECG app will take things further.\nThe users of the app can take an ECG by just opening the app on the Series 4 and hold the digital crown for 30 seconds. The two given points of contact are equivalent to the single lead ECG. Apple has said that every reading will be classified as either atrial fibrillation, inconclusive or sinus rhythm. The results of the ECG test will be saved in the Health app. They can also be exported to PDFs to share with doctors. At the same time the results from the app must be taken with a mild dose of doubt.\nThe ECGs which are performed with the doctor generally involves 12 leads while the ones which are done with the Series 4 is only a single lead. At the same time it has to be considered that Apple has got an FDA clearance for the Series 4 and is a de novo classification. This means that it is a novel device and is unlikely to cause harm and is not equivalent to the hospital grade medical device. Despite this, Apple has claimed that it has conducted trial with 600 participants with 98.3 percent sensitivity while classifying AFib and 99.6 percent with sinus rhythms.\nTo get the new update, the users have to just go to the Apple Watch app on the iPhone and navigate over the General. Once it is there, the users can see a notification on the Software Update Menu. If the update is not seen then it might take some time for the update to reach the users.\nPhoto Credits: Fossbytes\nRelated Items:apple watch, Apple Watch ECG, Apple Watch series 4, Apple Watch Series 4 ECG\nApple\u2019s Watch battery to last for couple of hours over heavy usage",

        "raw_content": "Listerine for toenail fungus versus more common treatments like Zetaclear is something that is searched for on Google more than 1000 times per month and far more times than that on the web overall.\nThe reason that consumers are so interested in this information is that more than 35 million people in the United States have some form of fingernail or toenail fungus is Listerine is widely shared on the web as one of the home remedies that might work.\nDid The Inventors Use Listerine for Toenail Fungus?\nListerine has been a part of the American culture since the 19th century and was originally developed as an antiseptic for hospitals and surgery rooms. Believe it or not, it was later marketed as a floor cleaner.\nIn the early 1920s, Listerine started to really take off after its marketing firm convinced the public that they had something called halitosis and that Listerine could help to cure it. It basically became a multi-million dollar company from that little marketing campaign.\nIt is unclear when Listerine for toenail fungus first surfaced but it is not uncommon for people in the old days to try various products to solve untested problems. Since Listerine was used as an antiseptic, it probably seemed logical that it might help relieve other problems as well.\nThymol Might Be a Toenail Fungus Treatment\nthymol crystalsIf you look on the back of a Listerine bottle, you will discover that one of the active ingredients is called Thymol. Thymol was used by the Ancient Egyptians and the Blackfeet Indians as a means to kill bacteria and fungi. The Indians used it for wounds and also made a tea of it to treat mouth problems.\nIt is this ingredient that makes the argument that Listerine might just work in killing toenail fungus. However, naysayers of this home remedy argue that if it worked, the manufacturer would develop a product to kill nail fungus. In addition, most toenail fungus is located under the nail and it is very difficult for water-based solutions to penetrate the nail\u2019s surface.\nIf you decide to try Listerine for your toenail fungus and it works, we would love to hear from you. In the meantime, we have listed some other solutions for your nail fungus that are used by many people around the world. The first two products come with full guarantees.\nBest Toenail Fungus Treatment on the Market\nThe best toenail fungus treatment is somewhat relative because what is considered the best for one person may not be for the next. This concept applies to most things in life so we need to consider other things such as ease of use, price, guarantees, and other factors before being able to pick the best treatment.\nWith that said, there are a few toenail fungus treatments that are commonly seen and referred around the web. For the purposes of this article, we are going to call these the best based merely on the popularity of recommendations. We have not included any of the prescription solutions like Lamisil and others because they are considered dangerous by some and should only be recommended by your doctor.\n1. Antifungal Oil Based Products\nNature provides us with many things that will help to solve most of our problems and the same thing applies to fingernail fungus and toenail fungus. Various natural oils, like tea tree, have powerful antifungal properties and are often combined together to make effective fungus killing treatments. Two of the most popular in this group would be Zetaclear and Fungisil. Zetaclear is a little cheaper, but otherwise, the products are similar in their abilities.\n2. Home Toenail Fungus Remedies\nThere are literally dozens, if not hundreds, of so-called home remedies for nail fungus floating around the web. You can read about everything from chlorine bleach to Vicks Vaporub. It is hard to determine if any of these actually work but the two that we will mention are Listerine and Apple Cider Vinegar. Listerine was used for many years as an antiseptic in medical facilities. It is believed that the active ingredient thymol is what may help get rid of toenail fungus. Thymol has antifungal properties and was used by the Indians and other groups for treating wounds and ailments.\n3. Laser Toenail Fungus Treatments\nLaser toenail fungus treatments are fairly new but they are grabbing a lot of attention right now. The current market leader is the Pinpointe laser which claims to have trained Podiatrists in dozens of states around the country. Laser treatments have been very popular because they are supposedly up to 88% effective, can be done in 45 minutes, and are painless. What is not painless is the $1000 to $1200 price tag to have this procedure done.",

        "raw_content": "Translation by Eamon Bloomfield - April 4, 1997\nNOTE: This is not a translation, merely a record of how to play based on one game late at night after a Chinese meal - but it is probably correct...\nEach player is a bean farmer and must wheel and deal to earn points. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.\nThere are 8 types of beans. These are illustrated differently, and each card has a number on it. This is the number of beans in that 'set'. i.e. There are 20 Blue Bean cards (Blaue Bohnen), but only 8 Red Bean cards (Rote Bohnen).\nAt the bottom of each card it tells you how many cards you need in a field to be able to cash it in for points. You can score from 1 to 4 points on most types of beans.\nThere are also '3rd Field' cards. These are bought during the game by spending points already earned. The timing of buying these fields is crucial as to whether they pay off for you or not.\nBefore the start, put the '3rd Field' cards to one side. Shuffle all the Bean cards thoroughly and deal 5 cards to each player. IMPORTANT: These cards must be kept in the order dealt at all times (with new cards you pick up during the game being placed in order behind the ones in your hand as you get them. This is VERY important).\nPlace the remaining cards in a face-down Draw pile and leave room for a discard pile next to it.\nEach player must imagine they have two vacant Bean Fields in front of them in which to plant their beans.\nThere are various parts to a turn. Some you MUST do, some you may do.\n1. The player MUST lay down the first card in his hand (remember, they are kept in the order given to you) in one of his two fields. He may, if he wishes, place a second card (the next one in his hand) in the same field (but only one type of bean can grow in any one field, although once a field has been 'sold' then a new type of bean could replace it) or in the second field. Whilst these fields are empty it is easier to make a decision, but if they were not empty and you had to play a bean card that did not match either field, then the existing crop would have to be 'sold' for points if there is enough cards in it to earn points, or just discarded for nil points if not. You can choose which crop goes EXCEPT if you have a single card in one of the fields then that field cannot be chosen. If both are single cards, you can choose. If both fields are two or more cards then you can choose as well.\n2. After playing one or two cards from your hand, you turn over the top two cards from the face-down pile. You now trade, using the cards in your hand and/or the cards on the table. Any deal is possible. Any player can deal with you (but note that players cannot deal with each other at this stage, only with you (the person whose turn it is). You are dealing because if there are any cards left on the table at the end of this phase then they MUST be added to your fields. Obviously this could be very bad news. So, you might offer to give them away for example, but you will often find others willing to trade for them with cards from their hand. Although the order of the cards in their hand cannot change, players can trade with ANY of the cards. Obviously it helps to get rid of cards sometimes so that you do not have to play them at the start of your turn. All cards traded for are placed immediately to the side of the Bean Fields of the person who received cards (often both of you) and at the end of this phase (or at any time during it) they must be added to the fields of that player. They cannot be used in a trade twice. They cannot sit in a reserve beyond the end of the phase.\n3. After trading has ended, if any of the two cards that were turned over remain untraded, they MUST be added to that player's field(s). This may mean the closing down of one or both crops already there.\nAll players now add their traded cards to their fields (if they haven't already done so). Note that this adding to fields, closing down fields, etc. can be done in any order the player wishes. He may add a Rote Bohne to a Rote Bohnen field for example, then close it down to add the new Blaue Bohne to that empty slot. Or he could close down the Rote Bohnen field by playing the Blaue Bohne card (the Rote Bohnen field might be on maximum points for example), then play the Rote Bohne card to kill off the just-started Blaue Bohnen field.\n4. The player must now draw three cards from the face-down deck, remembering to add them to the back of his current hand in the order he takes the cards.\nClosing down fields\nWhen a field is closed down, check the bottom of the cards for the value of that field. The number of silver coins tells you what points that field is worth if it has at least the number next to it in quantity. Turn over the cards and place in front of you one face-down card for every point you earn. Place the remainder on the discard pile. These face-down cards represent your point total.\nThird Fields\nAt any time that you have at least 3 points in your points total, you may buy a 3rd Field Card. This will enable you to have three Bean Fields at any time. But be warned, generally if you do not buy this quite early, it rarely pays off. However it can clearly be very useful in preserving your existing fields whilst they achieve maximum growth.\nWhen the last card has been taken from the face-down pack, you should shuffle the discards and place them face-down again. When this pack is exhausted, repeat for another time and then the game ends when the third deck is exhausted.\nNote that when a discard pile is about to be shuffled, each player should check if they want to close a field at that stage so that the cards not used for points are shuffled into the deck. Why? Because, for example, if you had a Rote Bohnen field worth some points and Rote Bohne cards at the back of your hand, it might suit you to have Rote Bohnen cards in the new face-down deck. Likewise it might suit you to make sure there were NO Rote Bohnen cards in the new deck, so you can delay the closure of the field until after the deck has been shuffled.",

        "title": "Training in the Informal Sector",
        "raw_content": "WORLD EMPLOYMENT REPORT 1998-99\nTraining in the informal sector\nIn developing countries today, the majority of new jobs are being created in the so-called informal sector. Concerted action is required to improve the incomes, productivity and working conditions of the very large and growing number of workers involved. Where institutional support exists and access to affordable credit is available, training can make a big difference.\nThe increased demand for skills resulting from technological change and globalized competition places numerous workers at risk of exclusion from employment or segregation into low-paying and insecure segments of the labour market. In industrialized countries, this process is manifested in very high rates of unemployment, low wages and the rise of part-time and temporary jobs. In developing countries, says the ILO's World Employment Report 1998-99, \"the lack of jobs in the formal sector of the economy as well as the lack of skills in a large part of the labour force has resulted in the growth of a substantial informal sector in which most workers are in low-paid employment under unregulated and poor working conditions\".\nThe informal sector is a major provider of urban jobs. \"In Africa as a whole\", says the report, \"informal employment accounts for over 60% of total urban employment\". Among individual countries for which statistics are available, the figures reach 57% in Bolivia and Madagascar, 56% in Tanzania, 53% in Colombia, 48% in Thailand and 46% in Venezuela.\nThe informal sector encompasses largely unrecognized, unrecorded and unregulated small-scale activities. It includes small enterprises with hired workers, household enterprises using family labour and the self-employed. Production processes characteristically rely on high levels of working capital as against fixed capital. Formal contracts between employers and employees or between buyers and sellers are rare and the often invisible activities involved usually fall below, or outside, the fiscal net.\nAmong the different categories in the informal sector, small and micro enterprises represent \"the economically stronger and more dynamic element\", according to the ILO report. A significant part of it is connected to the formal sector through subcontracting arrangements. Most of the enterprises concerned are independent \"and cater to markets at the lower end of the income scale\". Globalization and increasing competition increase the volatility of the environment in which these enterprises operate and demand better quality standards and access to new skills, a difficult challenge for informal enterprises because of their weak resource base.\nA second category is composed of household-based enterprises where most of the work is carried out by members of the family - largely unpaid female labour. With few exceptions, the families involved find it impossible to break out of low incomes and poverty.\nA third category, the independent service subsector - made up of maids, street vendors, cleaners, street barbers, shoe-shine boys, etc., and of casual, unskilled labourers - accounts, in terms of size, for the bulk of the informal sector. \"The skills required by these occupations are the lowest in the informal skill hierarchy\", notes the report.\nEarnings in the informal sector vary greatly, \"as does the level of education, which on average is low\". Workers with some education are generally found in the more attractive and better-paying jobs. Those without, find it extremely difficult to take advantage of informal training opportunities to learn new skills and thus to overcome the low-income trap.\n\"Training is important in the transfer and development of skills and has a direct impact on productivity and therefore on income\", says the report. Entrepreneurs in the informal sector place a high value on it as, among other reasons, apprentices often stay on as skilled labour in their workshops. Others start small businesses of their own. \"In Kenya, with its relatively well developed formal training system, there are more apprentices enrolled in the informal sector than trainees in the formal sector\", while \"in Egypt, over 80% of craftsmen in the construction sector acquire their skills through traditional apprenticeship\".\nBesides informal apprenticeship, government and NGO-based training programmes also exist. Usually directed at owners or future owners of micro enterprises, these take the form of extension services, vocational training or business management programmes. \"NGOs in particular have been in the forefront of training initiatives in the informal sector\".\nThere are examples of successful NGO training courses for the self-employed. \"The Centre for Educational Research and Development (CIDE) in Chile, for instance, has provided training for over 6,000 socially disadvantaged youth and women in shanty towns\", says the report adding that, by contrast, \"there are not many cases of successful government-sponsored training for self-employment in the informal sector\".\n\"Training policy\", argues the report, \"would do better to address the needs of those already established in informal production and who require upgrading of specific skills\" through an introduction, for example, to new technologies and new products.\nIn addition, \"existing apprenticeship systems in the micro enterprise sector need to be upgraded\". Successful as informal apprenticeship may have proved to be in transferring skills from one generation to the next, \"it suffers from serious problems and there is ample scope for improvement\", says the ILO report which goes on to identify strategies to improve the quality of the training provided. These include:\nExtending support to master craftsmen in procuring adequate training materials and tools;\nProviding training to the master craftsmen themselves in new tools and new technologies; and,\nOffering complementary training for apprentices in practical aspects of trade, management skills, and occupational safety and health.\n\"Traditional apprenticeship is not a substitute for basic education\" but should instead complement it, says the report while acknowledging that this is not easy to achieve. Working conditions of apprentices are often hectic and child labour common. Linking apprenticeships with high school education \"would provide an incentive to young people to go to school without the fear that such education will deprive them of the skills required to earn a living\". It would also serve as an effective means to combat child labour. But putting such schemes into practice would obviously \"require far-reaching reforms in the school system\".\nEven the household and independent service subsectors, where poverty is most pronounced, can be usefully targeted for training activities. \"Though low in the skill hierarchy, workers here too possess skills, many of which (...) would benefit from information and advice on technology, access to better tools, and training in business and book-keeping skills\". Producers' groups and co-operatives where education and training are provided have proved effective means of providing these services and foster successful business development.\nPromoting an integrated approach\nTraining programmes have often failed, warns the report, \"because of the unfamiliar terminology used and bureaucratic attitudes adopted - treating participants as inferior - and, most importantly, because training is considered as a single-intervention approach\", requiring no complementary inputs. \"Lack of institutional support and credit often render the new skills acquired through training unexploitable\". It is therefore \"crucial that training not be designed in isolation from the other necessary inputs\".\n\"If training is complemented with credit at low rates of interest through a decentralized system of loan delivery and collection\", the report concludes, \"it is possible to make a real difference to incomes in the informal sector\".",

        "raw_content": "IES takes on Revised Ameri Deal\n30th July 2018 30th July 2018 Ghana News Online\t0 Comments AMERI deal, energy, Energy Security, Finance, Mines, Novation\n\u2026A RIP-OFF OF THE GHANAIAN TAX PAYER\n1. The Institute for Energy Security (IES) is scandalized by the lack of due diligence that characterizes the \u2018renegotiated\u2019 agreement between the Government of Ghana and the Africa & Middle East Resources Investment Group (AMERI Energy), and currently before the Joint Parliamentary Committees on Finance, and on Mines and Energy.\n2. In its current form, the deal presented to the Joint Committees of Parliament is frost with misleading figures and inaccurate claims which may eventually line the pockets of individuals, and overburden the Ghanaian with a high cost of electricity. The Institute for Energy Security can confidently conclude that; \u201cthe agreement is worthless, immoderate, and rather awful compared to the existing agreement signed in 2015\u201d.\n3. On 10th February, 2015, the government of Ghana under the previous administration represented by the then Power Ministry entered into an agreement with AMERI Energy to Build, Own, Operate and Transfer (BOOT) a Power Plant by installing 10 new GE TM 2500+ aero derivative Gas Turbines and all related equipment, including the provision of certain services related to the operation and maintenance of the Plant for 5 years to provide a guaranteed output of 230MW. The cost of each of the 10 units of the Plant was $850,000 per month, totaling $102 million per year, and $510 million for 5 years. It was agreed that government will own the Power Plants after the end of the 5th year.\n4. The Government of Ghana has over the past two and half years paid an amount of $171 million to AMERI out of the $510 million. The outstanding balance of $339 million is due to be paid over the next two and a half years. Under a capacity charge of U.S. Cents 5.6253/KWh, the applicable tariff charge for Ghana in the first 5 years of the AMERI deal is U.S. Cents 14.5918/KWh, and from the 6th to the 20th year the tariff to apply is U.S. Cent 10.4149/KWh. This translate into an average applicable tariff of U.S. Cent 11.4591/KWh over the 20 year period.\n5. The above is independent of the $150 million \u201cover-pricing\u201d allegation government has raised over $510 million existing AMERI agreement. It is noteworthy that government has taken no steps towards answering questions on such claims.\n6. IES is surprised by the Energy Ministry\u2019s decision to introduce a third party, Mytilineos International Trading Company to take over the operation of the AMERI power plant at a proposed Capacity charge of 3.8052 US Cents/KWh for a 15-year period with an applicable tariff charge of U.S. Cent 11.7125/KWh; two and a half years into Ghana owning the power plant.\n7. In this proposed Mytilineos deal, IES notes that for the next two and a half years for which Mytilineos will be running the AMERI Power plants, Ghana will gain marginally as the current applicable tariff charge of U.S. Cent 14.5918/KWh will be reduced to U.S. Cent 11.7125/KWh, a difference of U.S. Cent 2.8793/KWh and a capacity charge difference of U.S. Cent 1.8201/KWh. However in the proceeding twelve (12) and half years phase of the contract, Ghanaians stand to lose the benefit of enjoying the U.S. Cent 10.4149/KWh tariff in the\nexisting Ameri deal, and are rather going to pay in excess of $1 billion dollars to a needless operator, as U.S. Cent 10.4149/KWh would have been substituted for U.S. Cent 11.7125/KWh.\n8. Government has called the Novation and Amendment agreement a \u2018renegotiated deal\u2019 because it has adjusted contract price and established a new financial equilibrium to reflect the extension of the term for the provision of the services under the AMERI performance obligation. IES however sees no \u2018renegotiation\u2019 in the entire AMERI agreement; and if at all, the Ministry of Energy did a poor job. It is our considered opinion that the proposed agreement is an insult to \u201cvalue for money\u201d, unreasonable and an extended rip off that must not be passed by Parliament in its current form.\n9. We are also aware that the President of Ghana by a letter with reference number OPS/82 Vol 5/18/964 dated July 25th, 2018, gave approval to the Energy Minister to proceed with the Novated AMERI agreement with Mytilineos. We want to believe the President was not given the full benefit of the whole picture regarding this deal, which we have cause to label as \u201cdubious\u201d.\n10. We also note that the Integrated Power Sector Master Plan (IPSMP) concludes that the net dependable power capacity in Ghana was 3950MW as at December 2017, with an additional 900MW scheduled for 2019; against an estimated average peak demand (including a 20% reserve margin) of 3200MW within the period 2018 and 2022. The additional capacity of 900MW exclude the Volta River Authority\u2019s (VRA\u2019s) Thermal Generation Projects of 632MW between 2020 and 2026.\n11. Indeed, the Supply Plan simulations conducted by VRA shows that the AMERI Plant would literally be redundant between 2019 and 2023 as it will have a utilization factor of less than 20% within the period. This simply suggest that there is no need to commit Ghana\u2019s money further into the AMERI Agreement.\n12.

        "raw_content": "Most of the time, the management of boils could be enormously challenging even in some cases antibiotics don\u2019t properly work. Fortunately, in most of the cases, we don\u2019t require to utilize antibiotics to combat Boils. A question might be going on in your mind that why we don\u2019t need to use antibiotics for boils treatment? Well, before giving the appropriate answer of this question here\u2019s you might require knowing what are the boils? How does it evolve? The precisely same I am going to explain here.\nBoils are nothing more than infection of skin commonly formed by the clogged hair follicles. A person can get boils on any parts of the body but the very common site where the boils occur are shoulder, armpit, neck, face and buttock. Boils could be either extremely bothersome or could be mild that doesn\u2019t cause any major discomfort. Whether boils are severe or mild it will definitely produce pain however the severity of the pain differ person to person. The process of the development of boils may initiate by a reddish skin that subsequently becomes inflamed with pus. As a result, few patients may get the fever and swollen lymph nodes that could be also considered as the signs and symptoms. Boils are strongly associated with a bacteria named staphylococcal that can enter into the body by the skin cut or can travel by the hair follicles.\nThis skin condition doesn\u2019t form any severe skin condition but to be honest in few rare cases the person might have to go under some severe health complications. Rarely the bacteria named staphylococcal can make the patient more vulnerable to certain health condition like poor hygiene, a problem with the immune system, bad nutrition, and even diabetes.\nTrue, that the management of boils could be sometimes extremely hard but this is also a true fact that using opposite treatment options for treating boils substantially obliterate the severity of this condition. Here in this article, you are going to know an unfamiliar treatment that works like the miracle for boils treatment. Have you ever been thought of utilizing turmeric for the treatment of boils? If yes, you have got better options & if not, unfortunately, you have been missing a great treatment option. Turmeric is a potent herb that has been used by the people since ancient time for the fulfillment of cooking desires but we can\u2019t say that the benefits of turmeric are restricted to its cooking benefits. Experts have done some of the essential studies on turmeric and have found innumerable health benefits. It has been widely recognized to have the great potential to eradicate any sort of skin infection including boils. You might have been aware of its potent prosperity named anti-inflammatory that can have the miraculous impact in treating boils. Since boils strongly associated with inflammation and pus, the usage of turmeric to the affected part can significantly eradicate the inflammation formed by the boils. Turmeric has sufficient properties to function like a natural analgesic. So the utilization of turmeric can substantially obliterate the pain caused by the boils. Turmeric is a powerhouse of anti-bacterial properties that not only eradicates the bacteria responsible for boils but it inhibits the multiplications of microorganism. It is essential to take over the pathogen to decrease the severity of boils and that\u2019s what turmeric is capable of.\nMost of the people don\u2019t know the necessity of having sufficient amount of antioxidants in the body. If you are one of them let me clear you, if you want to have healthy cells it is imperative to go for a good source of antioxidants. Antioxidants not only helps to safeguard the cells from oxidative damage but also promotes the healthy cells to grow. A healthy cell makes you less susceptible to evolve any sorts of skin diseases and boils are not an exception. Turmeric also has some of the properties that are known to purify the blood. If a person wants to evolve a strong immune system to fight against the bacteria like staphylococcal, what a person is needed to do is to utilize the turmeric. It has sufficient capabilities to mature your immune system that can easily fight against any pathogen.",

The PRC's revised Criminal Law of retains its abolitionist focus in that it is primarily concerned with criminalising third-party involvement in prostitution.\nFor the first time the death penalty may be used, but only in exceptional cases of organising prostitution activities, involving additional circumstances such as repeated offences, rape, causing serious bodily injury , etc. The criminal code codified provisions in the Decision, establishing a system of controls over social place, specifically places of leisure and entertainment.\nGovernment intervention in commercial recreation has found concrete expression in the form of the \"Regulations concerning the management of public places of entertainment\". The provisions proscribe a range of commercial practices that characterise the activities of female \"hostesses\". As a result of strong calls to curb official corruption, during the mid to late s, a whole host of regulations were also introduced to ban government employees both from running recreational venues and from protecting illegal business operations.\nFollowing the introduction of these measures, the Chinese media has publicised numerous cases of government officials being convicted and disciplined for abusing their positions for prostitution.\nDespite the position of the law, prostitutes are often treated as quasi-criminals by the Ministry of Public Security. Chinese police conduct regular patrols of public spaces , often with the support of mass-line organisations, using a strong presence as a deterrence against prostitution.\nBecause lower tier prostitutes work the streets, they are more likely to be apprehended. Arrests are also more likely to be female sellers of sex than male buyers of sex. The overwhelming majority of men and women who are apprehended are released with a caution and fine. In response, sellers and buyers of sex have adopted a wide range of tactics designed to avoid apprehension. The spatial mobility which is afforded by modern communications systems, such as mobile phones and pagers , and by modern forms of transportation, such as taxis and private cars , has severely reduced the ability of police to determine exactly who is engaged in acts of solicitation.\nIn tandem with the long-term task of developing preventative policing, the much more visible form of policing have been periodic police-led campaigns. Anti-prostitution campaigns have been accompanied by nationwide \"media blitzes\" to publicise the PRC's laws and regulations. This is typically followed by the announcement of arrest statistics, and then by sober official statements suggesting that the struggle to eliminate prostitution will be a long one.\nThe use of campaigns has been criticised for their reliance on an outdated \"ideological\" construction and an equally outmoded campaign formula of the s. The primary target of the PRC's prostitution controls throughout the s has been China's burgeoning hospitality and entertainment industry.\nThese culminated in the \"strike hard\" campaigns of late and Whilst such campaigns may have failed to eradicate prostitution in toto , there is some evidence that regulation of China's recreational venues has helped to create a legitimate female service worker with the right to refuse to engage in practices repugnant to the \"valid labour contract\", as well as the right to be free from sexual harassment in the workplace.\nChinese police have, however, proven unable to effectively police higher tier prostitution practices. The nature of concubinage and second wife practices makes it more suited as a target of social action campaigns rather than conventional police action.\nBecause of social changes, for example, Chinese police are now professionally constrained not to intrude on people's personal relationships in an overt or coercive manner. In some areas, \"massage parlours\" on main streets are known full well to be brothels, but are generally left to function without hindrance, barring occasional raids. The illegal activities and problems associated with prostitution had led some to believe that there would be benefits if prostitution was legalized.\nA number of international NGOs and human rights organisations have criticised the PRC government for failing to comply with the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women , accusing PRC of penalising and abusing lower tier prostitutes, many of whom are victims of human trafficking, while exonerating men who buy sex, and ignoring the ongoing problems of governmental complicity and involvement in the sex trade industry.\nStates Parties shall take all appropriate measures, including legislation, to suppress all forms of traffic in women and exploitation of prostitution of women. However, it does not advocate a system of legal and regulated prostitution. Central guidelines laid down by the CPC do not permit the public advocacy of the legalisation of prostitution. Arguments concerning legalisation are not absent, however, from mainland China. On the contrary, some commentators contend that legally recognising the sex industry, in conjunction with further economic development, will ultimately reduce the number of women in prostitution.\nWhile prostitution controls have been relaxed at a local level, [ citation needed ] there is no impetus for legalisation at the central government level. Importantly, legalisation does not have much public support. These include the lack of independent trade unions , and limited access of individuals to civil redress with regard to occupational health and safety issues.\nThe spread of prostitution practices has introduced a large quantity of slang to the popular vocabulary. Prostitution is a popular subject in the media, especially on the internet. Typically news of police raids, court cases or family tragedies related to prostitution are published in a sensationalised form.\nA good example is news of an orgy between Japanese clients and Chinese prostitutes in , which partially because of anti-Japanese sentiment , was widely publicised and met with considerable outrage. Prostitution has emerged as a subject of art in recent years, particularly in Chinese cinema.\nLi Shaohong 's film Blush begins in with the rounding up of prostitutes in Shanghai for \" reeducation \", and proceeds to tell the story of a love triangle between two prostitutes and one of their former clients. One of the prostitutes, Xiaoe, attempts to hang herself in reeducation. When asked to explain the reason, she says she was born in the brothel and enjoyed her lifestyle there - thereby challenging the government-sanctioned perspective of prostitution.\nThe film Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl was a dramatic portrayal of \"invisible\" prostitution in the rural China during the Maoist era. The independent film Seafood , by Zhu Wen , was an even more frank depiction of prostitution, this time of the complicated relationship between prostitution and law enforcement. In the film, a Beijing prostitute goes to a seaside resort to commit suicide.\nHer attempt is intervened by a police officer who tries to redeem her, but also inflicts upon her many instances of sexual assault. Both films, whilst being critically acclaimed abroad, performed poorly in mainland China, only partially due to government restrictions on distribution.\nThe depiction of prostitution in fiction, by comparison, has fared slightly better. The most notable author on the subject is the young writer Jiu Dan , whose portrayal of Chinese prostitutes in Singapore in her novel Wuya , was extremely controversial.

        "raw_content": "It Is All about Execution\nNarendra Modi's defining qualities are a sense of purpose.\nIf there is one lesson we have learned about leadership in recent years, it is that we overvalue intelligence and undervalue determination. When choosing our leaders we betray an instinctive bias for thought over action even though history teaches us that great leaders were great doers, not great thinkers. Outstanding leaders have always had the qualities of resolve, purpose and determination in abundance, and this helped them to change the world. With a PhD from Oxford University, our last prime minister was probably the leader most generously endowed with intelligence and academic credentials. But he failed. He neither had the willpower to prevail over events, nor the ability to translate thought into action. Sickened by the drift and paralysis of the last government, the Indian voter has now chosen the opposite type of leader.\nNarendra Modi's defining qualities are a sense of purpose, accompanied by attention to detail, and backed by plenty of grit and fierce determination. These are quintessential abilities of an implementer, someone who knows how to get things done. These qualities were on generous display during his election campaign and if he runs the country as well as his campaign we have good reasons to be hopeful. The answers to India's problems have less to do with new ideas and new laws and more to do with implementing old ideas and old laws. Modi reminded us of this truth time and again during the past year, and those who know him well have said the same thing-his strength lies in execution. It is time we had an executive in charge of our country, someone capable of delivering results. It is for this reason that I-a liberal, secular Indian who does not find Hindutva or BJP particularly appealing-voted for him.\nIndians do well in strategy, lag in execution\nMcKinsey & Co, the respected management consulting company, discovered in a famous global study in the 1990s that high performing companies distinguished themselves by execution. Its data on India reinforced the bias for action. In its sample of 35 major Indian companies, based on interviews with more than 600 executives, it concluded: \"While many Indian companies perform well on strategy, they are lagging in execution.\nForeigners sometimes remind us that Indians are bright. But they are too polite to add that they can also be 'over-smart'. Indians think and argue too much, see too many angles, and don't act enough. It makes hiring and recruiting talent particularly difficult, for we come out sounding good in interviews, and how do you separate the doers from the talkers? The gap between thought and action is so pervasive in Indian life that I sometimes despair if weak execution is, in fact, a deficit in character.\nMy experience as a practising manager and later as a board member or consultant confirms that while most managers usually achieve a reasonably robust strategy, they implement poorly. I am also associated with a private equity fund that has invested in many Indian companies over the past 10 years, and it has reinforced this conclusion: The best firms are not the ones with the best business model but the best execution ability.\nThe story of Narendra Modi's climb from serving chai to passengers on the railway platform of a sleepy Gujarat town to 7, Race Course Road illustrates many things, including his leadership style. As he rose in life to take on positions of increasing responsibility in the RSS and later in the Gujarat government, Modi was not content with laying broad policies. Unlike our previous prime minister, he did not abdicate responsibility for implementation to those below him. He surrounded himself with people with execution ability like himself, set clear, measurable goals, and created small 'implementation' teams. Instead of pronouncing on strategy, he got into the messy details of a project, monitored day-to-day performance, removing obstacles for those who were implementing it, staying close to them and motivating them. He recognised those who took initiative and risks, and punished those who played safe and behaved like bureaucrats. And he did all this without appearing to be interfering or micro-managing. Thus, he got fairly ordinary Gujaratis to do pretty extraordinary things.\nI first heard Narendra Modi speak at Shri Ram College of Commerce in Delhi in February 2013, and it opened a window to his leadership abilities. It was his first speech in a long campaign to be prime minister, and he declared his ambition right away. Unlike coy Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party, who danced coquettishly around the subject, Modi sent an unambiguous message that he was hungry for the job. He was off to a head start, and his clarity of purpose was refreshing for the Indian voter.\nModi was also unambiguous about his specific goal-it was to gain a clear majority for the BJP. The chattering classes laughed each time he said it and thought he was mad. They did not know that impossible ambitions drive successful leaders. Managers call these 'stretch' targets, and their purpose is to rally troops around difficult tasks. Impossible targets have a way of motivating soldiers who forget their differences. They feel they 'own' the goal and the battle. Thus, charismatic leaders are known to achieve astonishing commonness of purpose among their subordinates-what business managers prosaically refer to as 'alignment'.\nGreat leaders are not nice people\nRelated to this, was another feature I observed about Modi's campaign-the importance of a unified team. Great leaders are not 'nice' people who seek popularity, and certainly not ones you would invite to a polite dinner party. Narendra Modi had to ensure unified command and had to get rid of rivals and sceptics, which explains why he had to marginalise L.K. Advani, Jaswant Singh and others. And why, at the same time, he had to move his most trusted lieutenant, the ambiguous Amit Shah, to perform the miracle of turning Uttar Pradesh around. And why, despite opposition from inside the party, he tied up with unsavoury, blemished politicians B.S. Yeddyurappa and Ram Vilas Paswan.\nThe word executive comes from 'one who executes'. The hallmark of an effective executive is good planning and attention to detail, which is an important lesson I learned at the company where I worked for many years, Procter & Gamble. (The other lesson was how to write a crisp one-page memo because you were not allowed a second page). Modi, as I have said, is an implementer, and hence planning and detail come naturally to him. What we saw on television was great oratory but behind the scenes was months of planning with dozens of karyakartas, who worked with discipline to orchestrate each event minute by minute.\nFinally, Modi is a flawed individual, not unlike most of us. In his place, I would have expressed remorse a dozen times for the events in 2002, without of course, incriminating myself. I would have had a powerful think tank to feed me data, especially on economic and foreign policy issues. I could go on and on about his deficits. But at the end, his positive attributes clearly outweigh his faults. If there is one truth I would underline it is that without realising it, Narendra Modi seems to follow the British scientist Jacob Bronowski's advice. He believes that the world is not understood by contemplation but by action-\"the hand is the cutting edge of the mind, as Bronowski put it.",

        "title": "Seventy-Two Respects, To Be Precise - Hitherby Dragons",
        "raw_content": "Seventy-Two Respects, To Be Precise\nMost banks are money banks. You go to the bank and withdraw money. Some banks are different. Blood banks, for example. They give you blood instead. You might wake up and say, \u201cMy coworkers think I\u2019m too drab. I should get some blood splattered all over this outfit.\u201d So you go to the blood bank on the way to work. You put your card in the ATM. You type some numbers. Then the slot in the ATM opens up. Blood sprays out. There\u2019s a pause. More blood sprays out. There\u2019s a pause. More blood sprays out. There\u2019s a pause. Then some last blood dribbles on your shoes. That\u2019s how arterial teller machines work. Afterwards, you take out your bank card and your receipt and you go to work. You will be the talk of the water cooler, and you might even get a special interview from someone in human resources! There are also milk banks. Milk banks are a great way to get milk when you don\u2019t have any on you and there\u2019s an emergency where you really need milk. That\u2019s why they have them. Flower banks provide flowers. It\u2019s okay to withdraw flowers from a flower bank if you have the right card. Sometimes the gardeners will shout when you take them but that\u2019s all part of the flower bank service. The bank gives you flowers and gardener shouting and sometimes running exercise for you. That\u2019s a flower bank. Finally, there are military banks.\nMilitary banks are a recent innovation. You go to the bank and withdraw soldiers and military equipment. It is true that the soldiers and equipment are dressed in the uniform of the country where you withdraw them. It doesn\u2019t really matter, though. With a military bank, soldiers and military technology are functionally just bits and numbers in the giant international military economy. It does not matter who they work for. You could almost call them mercenary except that that is a mean word to use about people you just withdrew from the bank.\nMilitary banking is much superior to standing armies because it brings the innovations of finance to the military world. People who use military banks laugh at traditional armies. They say, \u201cA standing army is like keeping your money in a jar under the bed!\u201d It\u2019s silly to have an army at home when you can invest your army in the international banking system and have all the banking conveniences. For example, if you have a military savings account, you can earn extra recruits through compound interest. The United States has very many soldiers, but even one soldier compounded annually for two hundred years could beat them all up. That\u2019s a savings account. You could also have a checking account. If you have a military checking account, then you don\u2019t need to bring your army to every war. You can sometimes just show up and write a check for your forces and the enemy looks at the check and gets very intimidated.\n\u201cIs this valid?\u201d asks the enemy. \u201cI mean, are you really good for 200,000 soldiers and a shock and awe invasion?\u201d\n\u201cYes,\u201d you say, bluffly. You put your hands on your hips and bestride the world.\n\u201cI need to see some ID,\u201d the enemy says. Sometimes there are many enemies and you will need to show your ID to all of them. In this scenario there is just one.\nSo you present your ID.\n\u201cWell,\u201d says your enemy. \u201cI guess we\u2019re all dead. Unless we can fight you on some sort of installment plan.\u201d\nIf you have a checking account or a savings account, you can also usually withdraw soldiers at any time when you need them. They just shoot out of the slot on the ATM. It would probably be less ambiguous to say that they chute out from the slot because the other description might imply that they crouch in the machine firing at the street, and that is not a good way to have return customers.\nThere are other possibilities that have recently opened up because of military banking. For example, if you don\u2019t care about force as a solution to problems, you can start buying interest in an army and then selling soldiers short. You can also buy soldiers on the margin if you think that there will be a war soon. You can profit on the exchange rates between soldiers of different countries, if you\u2019re a sharp investor, because they are based on faith and credit and fear and not just quality and training.\nRight now military banking is limited because many banks have forgotten that being nice to their customers is useful. It is bad and snotty enough when banks start giving you trouble for financial transactions but when each teller and each bank executive has a drawer filled with one hundred highly-trained killing machines they are less likely to extend courtesy.\nIn addition, the military is notoriously conservative, so they resist the update to modern military banking.\n\u201cIf we switch to military banking,\u201d declares General M, \u201cthen troops won\u2019t be loyal to the country any more. How could they be? At any moment, they could be electronically transferred anywhere in the world, converted for a slight fee into the soldier of some other nation, and then used to fight for whoever has a good ATM card.\u201d\nThis is not actually what would happen, because people and bits are not fungible in this manner, but he has a point. However, Generals like General M (and also Generals P-Z) care too much about loyal soldiers. Some psychologists think that even if soldiers had no loyalties they would still run around killing the enemy because when you\u2019re at war it just seems like the thing to do. Others think that if soldiers had no loyalties they\u2019d just chat and decide who\u2019d win, much like people do in Internet debates, because that\u2019s even easier than actually fighting and they don\u2019t have to get out of their chairs. Either way, the countries who hire them get more or less the results they\u2019d expect for the equivalent investment of force.\nThis is not to say that there are no problems with the military banking system. They are just modern problems. For example, one of the ATMs could break and start spitting out soldiers all over the street. Then people could run around drafting them and shouting, \u201cI\u2019m forceful! I\u2019m forceful! I\u2019m a new military power!\u201d and become a street filled with competing warlords like in Somalia. That is one possible problem. There are other possible problems too. For example, banking executives are not entirely reliable. If a bank collapses due to military embezzlement, perhaps because someone constructed a junta to take over a small South American country and then defaulted on returning the soldiers, as bank executives are wont to do, then the government probably has to bail the system out. Since extra soldiers might not be available, the people would have to pay the price tag. The government would collect extra security guards and watchdogs and unlikely heroes from the private sector. It would look like this.\nJoe Block, an unlikely hero, a man who has some military experience in his past but now mostly wants to sit around smoking salmon and shouting at kids from his porch, sits on his porch with his dog. Suddenly, government agents arrive. \u201cI\u2019m afraid,\u201d say the government agents, \u201cthat we\u2019re going to have to assess you a value of 72 soldiers, because that\u2019s about how many you could kill in a typical gritty action movie before you finally kissed the girl.\u201d\n\u201cRuff!\u201d barks the dog.\nJoe just looks interested, \u2019cause this is the first time he\u2019s heard about the girl.\n\u201cThe dog is only worth 3 soldiers,\u201d the agents assess, \u201ctwo of whom would die due to a slapstick accident that leaves them helpless as it advances.\u201d\n\u201cRuff,\u201d says the dog, disappointed. It is considered only 1/24 as deadly as the man it protects. That\u2019s like trying to protect a whole day and hearing that you\u2019re really only up for 2am\u2014it\u2019s very disappointing.\n\u201cSo we\u2019re going to take you to the vault,\u201d the government agents say, \u201cand use you to bail out Mr. Simons, who risked the stability of the military economy by engaging in fraudulent usury.\u201d\n\u201cNot simony?\u201d Joe asks, just to check, because the man\u2019s name is Mr. Simons.\n\u201cNo, sir. Usury.\u201d\n\u201cOkay,\u201d says Joe. He sets his jaw. It looks like a block. \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d\nSo they would haul him away and haul the dog away and use them to bail out the system. Which sounds okay, but what if there\u2019s a gritty action movie later and Joe Block just isn\u2019t there? The explosions, deaths, and dialogue in the movie would be extremely inexplicable and possibly even surreal due to the absence of the protagonist.\n\u201cOh my God,\u201d an extra will say. \u201cHe\u2019s still alive.\u201d\nThere will be a shot.\nThe extra will fall down.\nThe camera will swivel to look at the gunman. But there\u2019ll be nobody there. There\u2019ll just be a wall and a sink and a print of a painting by Monet of some water lilies, and they will be, no matter how good the camera man is, somewhat fuzzy.\nAlso the scenes with the absent dog will make no sense.\nSometime you should try watching Die Hard and imagining that Bruce Willis and his immediate actions, but not their consequences, have been digitally edited out.

        "raw_content": "The Chainsmokers Talk About Their Most Recent Song, \u201cSick Boy\u201d\nSome people feel like The Chainsmokers have been around for years but it has really been for little over two years since they reached mainstream appeal. The first song of theirs to crack the top 10 was \u201cRoses\u201d at the beginning of 2015. Since that time The Chainsmokers have released a string of hits. This band is a duo featuring two producers, Alex Pall and Drew Taggart. They have performed with a number of other artists. They teamed up with \u201cSomething Just Like This\u201d with Coldplay. Their song \u201cCloser\u201d featured Halsey. They also featured Daya on \u201cDon\u2019t Let Me Down\u201d which made her an overnight sensation.\nWhen you have had as much success in music as they have the pressure builds to keep doing what you\u2019re doing. The Chainsmokers didn\u2019t want to do this, though, as they want to grow and evolve. Their most recent single, \u201cSick Boy\u201d is a much darker song than anything they have done and it marks a new phase for The Chainsmokers.\n\u201cSick Boy\u201d follows a long period for this band to now release a song. Drew Taggart said that they had been releasing songs on a monthly basis but they went nine months without one before releasing this new single. He said that they like to keep their music really current with what is going on in their lives and the world in general.\nThe Chainsmokers music is a mixture of different genres. It has been described as partially pop as well as dance music that has been mixed with indie and hip-hop as well. Both Alex Paul and Andrew Taggart have said they have taken inspiration musically from a number of sources. This includes deadmau5 and Pharell Williams who also both DJ. Other inspirations include Max Martin, Blink-182, and Taylor Swift among others.\nTheir most recent tour was in 2017 when they went on the Memories Do Not Open tour to support their album of the same name. This album went on to become certified platinum. Their first album was Bouquet while their second one was called Collage. They have also released many singles onto the market as well.\nhttps://www.pandora.com/artist/the-chainsmokers/ARXX6jwckzwk4nw\nPosted on April 10, 2018 April 18, 2018 Author thegeniusCategories Celebrities, Entertainment, Music, Music Streaming Success, Musicians, YoutubeTags Artist, Band music, Celebrities, DJ, Duo, Music video, pop hits, The Chainsmokers\nPrevious Previous post: The Innovations of Louis R.

        "raw_content": "Investors Deal with Higher Volatility in the Stock Market\nThe stock market has been volatile in recent weeks. As news of new taxes and tariffs leak into the market, many investors are getting nervous about the future. One of the most challenging aspects of investing is staying in the market when it is declining. However, studies show that investors who remain in the market achieve higher returns over a period of time.\nHCR Wealth Advisors is a registered investment advisory firm working to help people reach their investment goals.\nOne of the most critical aspects of the stock market is weathering volatility. There are times when the stock market is relatively calm. Over the past few years, the stock market has reached historic highs and people have grown accustomed to such growth. But, the stock market can go through periods of volatility involving rapid changes in value.\nAccording to whalewisdom.com, buying and selling a stock quickly can be a recipe for disaster in volatile markets. Some investors feel like they can time the market and earn a quick return. Although day trading can be successful, many investors can end up losing money. The professionals who work at HCR Wealth Advisors do not recommend this type of trading over an extended period of time.\nMany people feel that they can improve their financial position. Anyone who would like to understand what options are available should consider seeking advice from HCR Wealth Advisors.\nFacebook: @HCRwealth\nPosted on August 9, 2018 August 10, 2018 Author thegeniusCategories Financial, Financial Expert\nPrevious Previous post: Deirdre Baggot\u2019s Career Path\nNext Next post: NGP VAN Powering Democracy",

        "raw_content": "spencer robinson and the wolf spiders, beneath the surface\nThough his musical prowess spans years of experience in the Los Angeles music scene, Spencer Robinson\u2019s latest indie/alternative folk project \u2013 Spencer Robinson and The Wolf Spiders \u2013 focuses on a darker sound. And they\u2019re preparing to release a new eight track album on November 24th, so we sat down to listen to it so you can get a feel for what\u2019s to come.\nIt\u2019s a lot of darkness, but a lot of fun.\nSteady percussion begins first track \u201cDrink Gasoline, Spit Fire\u201d, splintering into a 70s rock feel. Once Spencer\u2019s vocals hit, the tone of the song becomes more mysterious than before, as he sings with a jaded attitude \u2013 it is essentially a Sons of Anarchy drinking song \u2013 that would suggest a true old soul might live \u201cbeneath the surface.\u201d While \u201cKiller on The Farm Tonight\u201d might have a title that seems a little off-kilter, it can be a very real fear for people who live in rural areas. (Especially after viewing particularly scary movies.) Still, the lyrics allow it to be a little bit more of a fun song. \u201cBleed Me\u201d gets pretty vulnerable, as Spencer sings of pulling poison out of his body, a process that can get intimate. Really, if we\u2019re looking for a widely translatable approach, he\u2019s singing about ridding himself of demons and negativity of the past.\nBut don\u2019t allow yourself to get enveloped by talks of blood, as you\u2019ll soon have to come up for air just to \u201cEnter the Void\u201d. An introspective track, lines like \u201cAre you lost inside your head?\u201d and \u201cWhat\u2019s it all about?\u201d allow you the distinct pleasure of pondering those thoughts as the song slowly meanders along. And though \u201cSeptember\u201d is now long gone, we don\u2019t have a substantial answer for Spencer\u2019s question as to where it actually went. He goes on to sing about darkness \u2013 the coming of shorter days, it seems \u2013 and the loss of time, which he spins into having a lack of his own faculties before an abrupt end as he takes his \u201clast breath.\u201d And you won\u2019t be finding any warm fuzzies in \u201cTake Me To The Killing Floor\u201d, but you will find yourself intrigued with the details as the track unfolds. Seventh track \u201c10 Years of Fire\u201d lightens the entire album up instrumentally, replete with chimes. He\u2019s taken ten years of transgressions and thrown them on a contrasting backdrop, while simultaneously allowing even the most ethereal sounds to spin you wildly out of control. He rounds it all out with \u201cTeenage Supernova\u201d, a track that feels slower, like it retrieved more inspiration from California surf rock than a grunge or folk scene. The guitars match that feel, and almost gives off a positive \u2013 certainly less-than-jaded \u2013 feel of confidence.\nIf only we could all be Teenage Supernovas\u2026\nBeneath The Surface is out November 24th via Rusty Knuckles. Keep up with Spencer Robinson and The Wolf Spiders here.",

        "title": "JACK RODWELL \u2014 IBWM",
        "raw_content": "Jack Rodwell 21 Midfielder Manchester City\nIf you stand back and look at it from a distance, Jack Rodwell\u2019s 2012 looks like it has gone exactly to plan. Back away just far enough and it has the look of a blueprint for any young player. After years of discussions about his potential and his suitability to play for a \u201cbig team\u201d in the Premier League, Rodwell\u2019s summer couldn\u2019t have gone much better.\nHaving debuted for the senior England team this time last year, he was called into Roy Hodgson\u2019s first \u201cproper\u201d England squad for the first post Euro 2012 match with Italy and he swapped perennial top half club and slow-starters Everton for the Premier League champions, Manchester City. Except when news of Rodwell\u2019s \u00a312 million transfer filtered through, everyone couldn\u2019t help but be struck by a little bit of disbelief.\nRodwell remains a player judged completely on potential. One day, sometime in the future, Rodwell could become one of the English national team\u2019s premier performers. Sadly, the days that people are going to hang around waiting for that potential to be realised are already numbered. Regardless of just how much is said to be going for him, he isn\u2019t doing the right things on the football pitch.\nThrough 2012, up until November 1st, Opta recorded that he played just 447 minutes of Premier League football. It\u2019s simply not enough. Regardless of a very healthy 90% pass completion rate or the fact that he gains possession for his team every 21 minutes, Jack isn\u2019t spending enough time where it matters and it\u2019s hard to argue he did enough to warrant a move to a team that now puts him very much in the hunt for medals.\nHe played only 17 times in all competitions for Everton last season, got himself sent off in the Merseyside derby (even if it was late rescinded) and rarely looked convincing. At no point in the early part of this year was anyone forced to sit up and take notice of Rodwell nailing down a regular starting in Everton\u2019s squad. It should have been so easy for him.\nDavid Moyes had a paper-thin panel of players at his disposal for most of last season and yet Rodwell, with all of his obvious capabilities already, still struggled for a regular berth. His poor injury record has finally started to really affect his career. More telling perhaps is the fact that Moyes signed Darron Gibson from Manchester United in January rather than putting faith in the then 20 year-old.\nAt this time last year, the signs were finally there that Rodwell was getting it. Sadly, the shoots of hope were misleading. Rodwell just wasn\u2019t good enough in an Everton shirt and now he is at Manchester City, his opportunities will diminish further. Nothing about his first few months at the Etihad Stadium makes anyone think anything about Rodwell\u2019s future other than it containing three frustrated years followed by a cut-price move to a club that finished the previous Premier League between 11th and 16th. When Rodwell has returned to Goodison Park in 2015 to be a part of Steve Clarke\u2019s new Everton side, don\u2019t forget we told you so.\nNaturally, there is a lot to like about Jack and he has time on his side; assuming he is allowed an adequate opportunity to develop. He has all the markings of becoming a fine player for many years to come if he properly applies himself. Comfortable on the ball, eager to drive his team forward and disciplined enough to be trusted to protect a backline as well as being big and strong. Inside the lad, there is a fine package of skills nuzzled deep.\nIt is the debate that still surrounds Rodwell\u2019s so-called \u201cbest position\u201d that sufficiently illustrates the problems with him. Former Everton manager Howard Kendall ran the rule over Jack when he departed Goodison in the summer and likened the 21 year-old to Paul Lake. \u201c[Paul] was a very talented lad who sometimes suffered for his own ability to play in a few roles. In the end I moved him to centre back and he was outstanding. Pace, power and a lovely pass.\u201d Others, like Liverpool Echo's Everton reporter Greg O'Keefe just \u201cdon't see him as a central defender.\u201d\nThe sheer fact that everyone hasn\u2019t had their mind made on him becoming either a towering centre-half or the perfect foil to a dream midfield of Tom Cleverley and Jack Wilshere for England by his performances is a worry. At 20, that is the one thing that should be cleared up, or else a prolonged period of being the versatile player in the squad awaits.\nJack Rodwell ultimately needs to show Manchester City, England and their fans as well as himself that he will be as good as the signs suggest. Until then, he\u2019s going nowhere very fast.\n\u201cOne of the names that always appears in the 'team for the next one' whenever England shuffle out of a major tournament, Rodwell is basically still all potential, some five years after first appearing in the Everton first-team. His move to Manchester City could go either way, but at present, with his troubling injury record and frankly better players ahead of him, his career seems to be stalling.\u201d - Nick Miller (Football365)\nD Those opportunities have dried up. Needs to force one",

        "raw_content": "Mawsynram is a very well known place in the Indian subcontinent which is reportedly famous for its incessant rainfall. It is located in the state of Meghalaya in the district of East Khasi Hills. This north-eastern village is 65 km from Shillong and receives an average annual rainfall of about 11,872 mm. The place was supposed to be the wettest place on earth with a slight disputable confusion with two of Colombia\u2019s places. However, it was later confirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records that Mawsynram is the wettest place on the planet in every sense of the term. Mawsynram is 16km from Cherrapunji which is quite well known for its unperturbed rainfall as well.\nIf we are to classify the climate specifically, then Mawsynram has a subtropical highland climate with an exceptional monsoon. The average temperature ranges from 11-20 degree Celsius throughout the year. The striking rainfall rate may be attributed to certain factors, which are:\nThe monsoon wind blowing from the Bay of Bengal. This warm moist wind concentrates its moisture over the Khasi Hills and thus cause extensive rainfall.\nThe upliftment created due to the alignment of the Khasi hills cause the moist winds to condense and hence causes the heavy downpour.\nThe tremendous wind at the high altitude, constantly pull the uplifted wind and hence the place receives a continuous rainfall.\nThe place received its name from a cave named \u201cmawjymbuin\u201d which has a stalagmite structure resembling that of a \u2018shiv linga\u2019. Mawsynram, due to its heavy annual rainfall, has a tremendous bounty of lush greenery. The place is exquisitely beautiful and soothing to the eyes. Next we would list some of the \u201cnot to miss\u201d spots for your Mawsynram tour-\n1. Mawsmai falls:\nThe Seven Sisters waterfall | Photo by flintman45\nAlso known as Nohsngithiang Falls, Mawsmai is a very high waterfall with an altitude of 1,035 feet. It is also the fourth highest waterfall in the country and is a must visit for travellers in Mawsynram. The fall pours from the Khasi hills over seven segments and finally onto limestone cliffs forming a mesmerizing view. In case you have heard, this is the famous \u2018Seven sisters waterfall\u2019.\n2. Mawsmai caves:\nExit to the Mawsmai Caves | Photo by Hrishi the experimentor\nNot far from the Mawsmai falls are the stunning Mawsmai caves. The caves are located in the Mawsmai village and are regarded to be very holy by the native people. The cave is stretched over an expand of 150 m and provides great site for cave exploration and diving. Often regarded as the heart of Mawsynram, Mawsmai is where the true beauty of nature can be experienced.\n3. Khasi monoliths:\nMonoliths at Khasi hills | Photo by deborahkbates\nThe Khasi monoliths are situated close to the Mawsmai waterfalls and are of great historical significance to the locals. The monoliths are actually stones standing as memoirs of ancestors and are, thus, symbols of remembrance. The spiritual secret of these monoliths, if discussed, can take the form of a standalone article which we may work upon sometime in the near future. Other places of importance in and around these hills are the underground mazes and the old cave-passages.\n4. Nohalikalai falls:\nTop view of the Nohalikalai waterfall | Photo by ViaggioRoutard\nThis fall is a superb tourist attraction and perhaps the most popular spot outside Mawsynram. It is the fifth highest waterfall in India and is located just 5 km away from the Mawsynram village. The water descends from a height of over 1,000 ft making a white cascade of froth at the bottom. The panoramic view is remarkable and undoubtedly one of the best beauties of the place.\n5. Cherrapunjee:\nMesmerizing Cherrapunjee | Photo by Hrishi the experimentor\nRegarded as the second wettest place in the country as well as the world, Cherrapunjee receives rainfall throughout the year. The town is about 15 km from Mawsynram and has numerous exciting places to visit. There is a double-decked bridge made up of Indian rubber tree that is the primary attraction of the place. Then there is the Dainthlen waterfall which comes with a bonus of local stories that the guides are sure to tell you!\nYou may also prefer to wander around a bit in Mawlynnong which is deemed as the \u2018Cleanest village in India\u2019. It is also referred to as God\u2019s own garden owing to the beauty, tranquility and purity of the place. Mawsynram is a small yet wonderful place to visit. It has its own way to refresh your mind and body. The place is ideal for a small trip where you would like to idle around and simply feel the time pass as the drops of rain soothe your soul.\nCherrapunjeeKhasimawlynnongmawsmaimawsmai fallsMawsynrammonolithsrainwettest place",

        "raw_content": "The most common traumatic dental injury is a chipped or fractured tooth. The majority of chipped teeth can be repaired by the general dentist by reattaching the chipped piece or by bonding a tooth colored restoration. More severely fractured teeth or teeth that the nerve becomes exposed as a result of the fracture, may require endodontic therapy. Any dental injury, even if apparently mild, should be examined by a dentist or endodontist. Occasionally adjacent teeth, although unnoticed, may have also suffered an injury that can only be detected by a thorough exam.\nWith their more sophisticated procedures, dentists are helping people keep their teeth longer. Because people are living longer and more stressful lives, they are exposing their teeth to many more years of crack-inducing habits, such as clenching, grinding, and chewing on hard objects. These habits make our teeth more susceptible to cracks.\nTo understand why a cracked tooth hurts, it helps to know something about the anatomy of the tooth. Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called the dentin, is the inner soft tissue called the pulp. The loose pulp is a connective tissue that contains cells, blood vessels and nerves.\nWhen the outer hard tissues of the tooth are cracked, chewing can cause movement of the pieces, and the pulp can become irritated. When biting pressure is released, the crack can close quickly, resulting in a momentary, sharp pain. Irritation of the dental pulp can be repeated many times by chewing. Eventually, the pulp will become damaged to the point that it can no longer heal itself. The tooth will not only hurt when chewing but may also become sensitive to temperature extremes. In time, a cracked tooth may begin to hurt all by itself. Extensive cracks can lead to infection of the pulp tissue, which can spread to the bone and gum tissue surrounding the tooth.",

Denny\u2019s Beer Barrel Pub had already captured the world record for the world\u2019s largest burger at 6 lbs. The new, improved burger now weighs in at a whopping 15 lbs. It\u2019s free if you can finish it in 5 hours.\nMyself, I want to move to the town with the world\u2019s largest veggie burger. Does such a thing exist?\nSex toy drive \u2014 Help a repressed state legislator today!\nAs reported in this week\u2019s Nashville Scene, two Tennessee state legislators, Sen. Charlotte Burks (D-Monterey) and Rep. Eric Swafford (R-Pikeville), have proposed a bill banning the sale or display of sex toys.\nAs John Spragens remarks, while legislators were occupied with restricting the right of adults to legally purchase dildos and vibrators, Tennesseans \u201cdied from a lack of health care, remained poorly educated and were among the most obese state populations in the nation.\u201d\nAside from being ridiculously narrow-minded, the proposed sex toy ban would decimate a lively cottage industry \u2014 everyone knows how popular those women\u2019s lingerie and sex toy parties are in the South! Not to mention that Nashville\u2019s Hustler Hollywood, the Purple Onion and the World\u2019s Largest Adult Bookstore would have some empty walls.\nI propose that Burks and Swafford be educated on the joys of vibrating, phallus-shaped objects. Someone in their district(s) should send them a sex toy. For Burks, I recommend a rabbit vibrator. For Swafford, a vibrating butt plug.\nReligious broadcasting networks: The Clear Channel of low-power FM radio\nA Boston-area high school radio station has been pushed off the air by a California-based religious broadcaster in a recent FCC ruling. Maynard High School\u2019s WAVM-FM has been broadcasting for over 30 years, and dozens of student DJs have gone on to work in broadcasting careers.\nWAVM recently applied for a signal strength increase from 10 to 250 watts; a process which allows other broadcasters to bid on their frequency. The FCC in turn awarded WAVM\u2019s frequency to Living Proof, Inc on the basis that they would be able to \u201cprovide first or second primary [noncommercial radio] service to the largest number of people in the community.\u201d\nOrganized, monied religious broadcasting networks have been cannibalizing the non-commercial and low-power spectrum across the country for a number of years. Broadcasters such as Calvary Chapel (CSN International), American Family Association Radio, and EMF Broadcasting have built cheap networks of low-powered FM translators, which were originally intended to boost local radio signals in weak areas. These translators are used to retransmit nationally syndicated religious programming in areas where the broadcasters often have no local presence.\nCSN Int\u2019l, the largest of these broadcasters, currently operates 361 of these translators across the country. The Boston Globe article linked above notes that the president of Living Proof has ties to Calvary Chapel, which has previously been linked to Radio Assist and Edgewater Broadcasting, two large Christian broadcasting networks owned by the same ex-CSN employee.\nRadio Assist/Edgewater applied for over 4000 radio translator construction permits during a five-day application window in 2003. The broadcaster has since been awarded over 1000 of these (free) permits, over 80 of which have been sold or traded for profit. DIYmedia reports that Radio Assist/Edgewater made over $800,000 trading translator permits, mostly to other Christian stations and networks.\nCommunity and media activists have been pushing for years for low-power FM (LPFM), a format that would allow small non-commercial community stations to develop and prosper. The FCC approved the LPFM format five years ago, and since then, several hundred LPFM stations have sprouted up across the country. About half of these stations belong to churches and religious groups.\nActivists fear that the rush of large religious broadcast networks for FM translator permits endangers the budding LPFM movement. The FCC instituted a freeze on new translator permits in March, in response to petitions from LPFM activist groups.\nAnother strategy of religious broadcasters has been to attempt to piggyback on small non-profit educational frequencies, many belonging to schools and colleges who are unable to broadcast 24 hours a day. These broadcasters are attempting to take advantage of an obscure rule that can force stations to share their airtime if they broadcast for less than 12 hours a day. Fortunately, these can be overcome if stations purchase automation systems that allow them to broadcast 24/7.\nThe WAVM debacle illustrates that the large religious broadcasters\u2019 urge to evangelize comes at the expense of non-profit, community and educational stations. The FCC\u2019s tacit acceptance of this situation serves to blur the boundary between government and organized religion. Churches have as much right to be on the air as anybody, but the actions of groups such as CSN, Radio Assist and Edgewater violate the spirit of non-profit community broadcasting.",

London is one of those iconic cities which arguably must be visited if one wishes to see the world.\nI was just in London on vacation with and thoroughly enjoyed the city tour we did. That inspired me to compile this list of 25+ iconic places to see in London to give you an idea of what\u2019s waiting before you arrive. It\u2019s easy to get overwhelmed so a little research like you\u2019re doing now will go a long way! This list below is just a sample of the many things out there but does cover some of the most popular places to see and things to do in London.Once you\u2019re done with this list, be sure to check out some . Enjoy and as always, safe travels!\n25+ Places to See in London\nWestminster Abbey is one of the most important churches in the United Kingdom. It has played a central role in the coronation of British monarchs since William the Conqueror ascended to the throne in 1066. Additionally, sixteen royal weddings have been celebrated here since the dawn of the 12th century. The first version of this church was said to have been built around 960 AD to house a community of Benedictine monks, but the current version of was started in 1245, and was completed in 1517.In recent times, it has hosted a pair of sombre observances, as the funeral masses for Princess Diana and the Queen Mother were held here in 1997 and 2002.\nThis is one of the places to see in London that\u2019s near impossible to be missed. One giant Ferris wheel that gives riders an elevated view of London\u2019s skyline. Situated on the south bank of the Thames, it stands over 440 feet high at its apex. This made it the world\u2019s tallest Ferris wheel when it opened in 2000, a title it held for six years until Star of Nanchang (Nanchang, China) claimed it in 2006. Thanks to the views it allows of some of London\u2019s most iconic structures, it is the most visited tourist attraction in the United Kingdom, with 3.75 million paying customers in 2017. The wheel holds 32 separate capsules capable of offering 360 degree views and with a capacity of 25 people each. With a speed of just shy of 1 km/h, it takes 30 minutes for each capsule to do a complete revolution, granting plenty of time for photographs.\nAn iconic Anglican cathedral which serves as the seat of the Bishop of London. Located in The City of London (proper), the original structure was founded in 604 AD in honour of Paul the Apostle, but it suffered irreparable damage in the Great Fire of 1666. The present structure commenced construction in 1669 and was finished in 1708 with the topping of a dome, giving it a 365-foot high prominence. This gave London a magnificent symbol just as the British Empire began its rise on the world stage.\nThis church was almost destroyed again during The Blitz air raids in World War II, but thanks to the heroic work of Royal Engineers, an air-dropped time delay bomb was defused before it could detonate. is a fully functional place of worship, with upwards of five services being held per day. It also holds services on special occasions, the most recent being a service held as part of a series of celebrations honouring the Queen\u2019s Diamond Jubilee.\nA public space at the centre of a traffic circle in the West End of London famous for its neon signs and for its centrepiece fountain. Taking its name from one of the streets to which the traffic circle connects, Piccadilly Circus is close by to some of this city\u2019s best theatres, shopping, bars and casinos. The fountain found within its centre was placed there to commemorate the charitable works of Lord Shaftesbury, a local politician who tackled a variety of social reform issues during his career. Piccadilly Circus is one of the places to see in London that you don\u2019t want to miss. In New York there is Times Square, in Tokyo there is Shibuya Crossing and in London, it\u2019s Piccadilly Circus.\nTrafalgar Square was built in the City of Westminster to commemorate victory in the Battle of Trafalgar, which took place during the Napoleonic Wars in 1805. Completed in 1844, this stunning public space contains an obelisk called Nelson\u2019s Column (named after Horatio Nelson, a general who died in the battle), a fountain, and various statues and sculptures.\nThe square is surrounded by the National Gallery, St Martin-in-the-Fields Church, and the Canadian Embassy. It is also situated close by to other top shelf attractions such as Piccadilly Circus and Buckingham Palace, making it easy to include in a busy day of sightseeing.\nThe primary residence of the monarch of Britain since Queen Victoria ascended to the throne in 1837. is one of the important places to see for royalists and celebrity spotters visiting London. This grand building in Central London contains 775 rooms in total, and its grounds is home to the largest private gardens in the city. Visitors hoping to tour the palace will want to plan their trip between late July and mid September, as it is during this time frame when the State Rooms are open to the general public.\nThey are open on select dates during the spring and fall as well, but these occasions are harder to predict.\nLocated just west of Heathrow Airport, the nearly 1,000 year old ramparts of is not just one of Britain\u2019s most famous historic landmarks, but it also remains a Royal Residence in the present day. While Queen Elizabeth II spends the majority of her time living and working at Buckingham Palace, she frequently chooses to spend weekends relaxing at Windsor Castle. The beauty of this place is evident, from the Long Walk to the lavishness of the Crimson Drawing Room. While it is possible to tour the building throughout the year, periodic closures can occur on short notice due to its use by the Royal Family.\nA luxury department store which opened in 1824 in the district of Knightsbridge, Harrods is a retail institution in Greater London. Occupying over one million square feet of retail space and with 330 different departments within its walls, those looking for the finest goods in the UK will find them here. Harrods is quite unlike any store you\u2019ve ever visited: within, you\u2019ll find no less than 32 restaurants, a tailor, a wine steward, bespoke services which put together everything from gourmet picnic hampers to custom fragrances, and so much more. There\u2019s even a bank which sells gold bars off the shelf, so if you have money to burn, stop by Harrods and browse for a bit.\nA royal palace situated more than 18 kilometres southwest of the centre of London. Hampton Court Palace was originally built in 1515 for Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, though it was later seized by King Henry VIII in 1529 after he was unable to annul the King\u2019s marriage so he could wed Anne Boleyn. A massive expansion project initiated by Henry VIII left the palace looking rather peculiar, as the build was in a completely different style (Baroque) than the original structure (Tudor).\nWithin, visitors will be able to enjoy a number of paintings donated from the Royal Collection, as well as decorative touches which include intensely vivid stained glass windows. Outside, the gardens of Hampton Court Palace, a sizable hedge maze, Real Tennis courts (the ancient game from which the modern game was derived), and the world\u2019s largest grape vine since 2005 will keep you busy for hours. Despite its distant location relative to other major London attractions, it is well-connected by train (Waterloo to Hampton Court Station) and bus (lines 111, 216, 411 and R68).\nThe largest of the four royal parks within London, Hyde Park offers a relaxing respite from its frenetic pace of life. Established in 1536 by King Henry VIII to be his own personal hunting ground, it was opened to the public a century later. In time, it became a popular place for protests and demonstrations, from May Day parades to suffragettes and countless anti-war demonstrations. Speaker\u2019s Corner (established in 1872) continues to attract the opinionated to Hyde Park, as it gives them a platform to share their views, irrespective of their position on the political spectrum.\nAnother of the royal parks of London, Green Park is best known for its proximity to Buckingham Palace. A green space which lacks the attractions that parks nearby boast (lakes, large monuments, etc), it is less visited by locals and tourists, making it a relaxing place to go if you are seeking peace and quiet. A few minor points of interest do exist within the bounds of Green Park: Canada Memorial, which is dedicated to Canadian soldiers who died in both world wars is a powerful one, as is the RAF Bomber Command Memorial, which honours the pilots who took to the skies to defend the UK in World War II.\nA major royal residence in London, Kensington Palace is home to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, otherwise known by the public as Will and Kate. It was also the home of Prince William\u2019s late mother, Princess Diana prior to her untimely death in 1997. The palace was closed for much of the opening years of the 21st century as a $19 million USD renovation was completed. It re-opened for visitation in 2012, just in time for the Queen\u2019s Diamond Jubilee. Throughout, there are extensive modern displays, antique furniture, and art which detail the life and times of royals such as William and Mary, George I and II, Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth II.\nA lively entertainment and cultural district found in Central London, Covent Garden offers plenty of things to see and do. By day, watch street performers do everything from juggle razor-sharp swords to play exquisite music, and shop in a variety of boutiques which run the gamut from luxury brands like Burberry to consumer favourites like Apple. By night, its many narrow streets and alleyways are lined with countless restaurants and pubs, the latter of which have poured pints for hundreds of years.\nIf you can\u2019t decide which one to visit, stop in at the Lamb & Flag, London\u2019s oldest continually operating drinking establishment. Serving its first drink in 1688, it was a favoured haunt of Charles Dickens, and the venue of many bare knuckled fist fights over the years.\nIf you are new to London, know that there are two concepts of the place: the term which refers to the Old City of London exclusively, and the one which includes the much larger City of Westminster and the surrounding boroughs within the M25 ring motorway. The former is of particular interest of visitors, as this one square mile plot of land within Greater London is where some of its best known attractions are located.\nSt. Paul\u2019s Cathedral, remnants of the London City Wall, Leadenhall Market, and the Monument to the Great Fire of London are just a few of the sights worth seeing here. As such, there is a mix of shiny glass and steel skyscrapers which have sprung up amidst the centuries old buildings here, making for an appealing dynamic photographers will love.\nA castle sitting on the north bank of the Thames in Central London, the Tower of London has served many purposes over its history. Completed in 1078 after being commissioned by William the Conqueror, it has been viewed by many residents as a symbol of oppression, as it was built by the Normans who had conquered them just a decade earlier.\nIts most notorious use was as a prison from 1100 to 1952. It has counted Elizabeth I, Sir Walter Raleigh, and prisoners of war during both World Wars among its many inmates. In addition to this, it has also been used as a royal residence, a treasury, an armory, and the home of the Crown Jewels during its history.\nThe heart of British democracy, the Houses of Parliament are where laws are debated and passed in the United Kingdom. Known formally as the Palace of Westminster, the first building on this site served as primary royal residence of the monarch of England until 1512.\nAfter a fire destroyed the palace in that year, it was rebuilt and designated as the meeting location of the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Further renovations were carried out in the 19th century, with architect Charles Berry redoing the structure in the Gothic Revival and English Perpendicular Gothic style.\nThis building is also home to the world famous clock tower Big Ben. However, it is presently undergoing a major renovation, making 2017 and much of 2018 a bad time to get a photo of this iconic part of the Houses of Parliament.\nThe fourth most visited institution of its type in the world, visiting the British Museum is a must do for anyone wishing to learn about the history, art, and culture of humanity. There are eight million pieces in its collection, with representation from virtually every civilization that has ever existed on this planet.\nAs you move through its 94 galleries, you\u2019ll see displays which show off antiquities and artifacts from Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Persian, Indian, Chinese, European, African, Polynesian, and Pre-Colombian civilizations, to mention but a few. Best of all, there is no admission fee to visit this treasure trove \u2013 funding for the British Museum comes from the government, although donations are graciously accepted.\nLocated on the north end of Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery is among the most beloved art museums in the world. Only three art-focused institutions are visited more \u2013 The Louvre, the aforementioned British Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. The main collection of the National Gallery is free of charge, as it is a publicly-funded institution.\nWith over 2,300 paintings dating back as far as the 13th century, the National Gallery may lack the quantity of other museums, but its collection spans a variety of styles and periods, and it contains works from some of humanity\u2019s greatest visual artists. From Leonardo Da Vinci\u2019s The Virgin of the Rocks to Vincent van Gogh\u2019s Sunflowers, this institution has few (if any) weak points, making it a highlight for art lovers.\nA food-focused public space situated on the south bank of the Thames near The Shard, Borough Market is a mandatory attraction for foodies visiting London. While it was first mentioned in print in 1276, it claims to have been founded in 1014. Starting off as an open air affair near where the London Bridge terminated, it moved into its own building in 1851.\nThe Borough Market is open to the public from Wednesday to Saturday (hours vary by day) and to restauranteurs and grocers between 2 to 8 am on weekdays. It sells a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, breads, and pastries from across the UK, as well as selling imported products from the European continent. If you\u2019re spending the day exploring London, this is your best bet for lunch.\nTraveling on a budget, but still looking for a killer view of the London skyline? Take to the London Underground, and ride a Northern Line train to Chalk Farm station. After taking a short walk down Regent\u2019s Park Road, you\u2019ll arrive at the crest of Primrose Hill.\nFrom here, you\u2019ll be privy to an all encompassing view of London\u2019s downtown core. Nearly every skyscraper, church, and tower of note can be seen from here, including standouts such as The Shard and St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral. If you have an extended zoom lens for your camera, be sure to bring it with you.\nCentral London does not have a monopoly on cool neighbourhoods in the metropolitan area. Outside the core, you will find boroughs which can take up the lion\u2019s share of your day with their unique character, shops, and attractions. Camden Town is one of these places, as its alternative vibe has given its shops, restaurants, and a look which stands apart from much of the rest of the city.\nLimited in the amount of time you can spend here? Head straight for Camden Market. A series of outdoor retail spaces offering everything from local crafts to gourmet fast food, you\u2019ll be able to get souvenir shopping done and get a great meal all in one place.\nWhile you are wandering around, be sure not to miss Cyberdog, a clothing and apparel store geared towards ravers. Designed with an industrial look with a hint of cyberpunk, its loud rhythmic music, dancers, and unique products will make this shop an unlikely highlight of your time at Camden Market.\nOne of the world\u2019s most iconic bridges, the is another can\u2019t miss attraction in London. True to its name, its two centre spires are shaped like towers. With a peak height of 213 feet above the River Thames, it is a breathtaking sight for travelers of all persuasions. Finished in 1894, it has captured the imagination of the world with its Victorian Gothic design.\nGreat views can be had from nearby London Bridge, as well as from the north bank of the Thames. Tower Bridge is free to cross on its pedestrian deck, but those wishing to ascend its central spires to the observation deck will be required to pay an admission fee. Within the spires, you\u2019ll also be able to view the Victorian-era engines which still open the drawbridge when tall-masted ships approach.\nWith over 80 million artifacts and specimen, the is an attraction with no shortage of amazing geological, zoological, and botanical specimens. Another one of Britain\u2019s taxpayer institutions, there is no admission to enter, making it ideal for families and those traveling on a budget.\nHighlights within include a full skeleton of a blue whale, various dinosaur fossils, an outdoor wildlife garden which profiles the various plants of the United Kingdom, and a fully-preserved giant squid in a glass tank. Situated down the street from the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National History Museum is a great place to go after touring the former institution in the morning.\nAlso known as Shakespeare\u2019s Globe, the Globe Theatre is a reproduction of the playhouse where many of William Shakespeare\u2019s classics were acted out for adoring audiences in the 17th century. While it originally met the wrecking ball in 1644, it was rebuilt by enthusiasts of The Bard in the 20th century using original building materials and techniques.\nHolding up to 1,400 theatregoers at a time within walls made of English Oak, this performing arts space is open for plays during the summer months, so if you can\u2019t get out to Stratford upon Avon during your visit to the UK, take in a show here.\nStanding out due to its height and ultra-modern design, The Shard has become one of the most noteworthy fixtures in London\u2019s skyline since its completion in 2012. Standing over 1,000 feet and 95 stories high, it is the tallest building in the United Kingdom and fourth highest in Europe, making it the perfect place to capture an excellent view of the Greater London area.\ngives you a chance to do just that. An observation deck situated on levels 69 and 72, the vistas from here are world class, but on the way up, you\u2019ll also be treated to a visual presentation in the elevator. Using mirrors and display screens, you\u2019ll ascend virtually through the roofs of less lofty structures in the London skyline during your minute-long ride to The View observation deck. This is one of the places to see in London if you really want a bird\u2019s-eye view of the city.\nLondon isn\u2019t all about palaces and 800 year old buildings. If you are a fan of modern skyscrapers, business districts, and all the high-end restaurants, bars, and shopping that go with them, you\u2019ll want to spend a few hours .\nWhile you\u2019ll probably be drawn here by the attractions mentioned above, there is a cultural attraction worth your time here: the Museum of London Docklands. Focusing on the backstory of the port of London from Roman times up to the closure of the Docklands as an industrial site in the 1970s, those into this type of history will really dig this place.\nDespite its less than attractive name, the East London district of Shoreditch has become one of the hippest neighbourhoods in the city. Originally a working class area, low rents made it an attractive place for creatives, beginning a cycle of gentrification which eventually led to tech companies moving in alongside the art galleries.\nThe infusion of money hasn\u2019t completed erased this place\u2019s gritty edge. Indie shops and walls plastered in graffiti are still a common sight for those walking its rougher looking streets. Recommendations include: This Shop Rocks, a shop filled with gorgeous antiques; the Brick Lane Beigel Bake, which serves a bagel sandwich stuffed with salt beef; and the Queen of Hoxton, a nightspot favoured by millennials, as it contains arcade machines and ping pong tables along with the usual bar attractions.\nNamed after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the is dedicated to design and the decorative arts. Within these walls, you\u2019ll find the world\u2019s biggest collection of sculptures crafted after the classical period.\nOver its 12.5 acres and 145 galleries, you\u2019ll find artistic pieces made of ceramic, glass, textile, silver, and countless other materials. With the largest collection of Italian Renaissance pieces outside Italy, the best collection of East Asian pieces in Europe, and the most comprehensive collection of Islamic pieces in the Western World, lovers of beautiful objets d\u2019art will lose track of the hours they spend here.\nWant to lie in the Western and Eastern Hemisphere at the same time? Ride the Tube (North Greenwich, Jubilee Line) to Greenwich, home of zero degrees longitude, otherwise known as the Prime Meridian. This place is more than just a geographical curiosity, however: those interested in Britain\u2019s seafaring history will want to check out the National Maritime Museum.\nOne of the biggest institutions of its kind in the world, this place houses artifacts which chronicles the oceangoing exploits of one of the greatest empires the world has ever known. With nautical art, hand drawn maps made by on-board cartographers, and authentic navigational instruments, lovers of maritime history will be at home here.\nThis list has a few things to do and places to see in London, yes? Believe it or not, this is just the tip of the iceberg to get you started! One could spend a lifetime exploring London with so many places to see and still feel like they\u2019ve missed so much. I hope this list gives you some ideas for your next trip or vacation to London. If you feel anything was left out, please let us know!\nBig thanks to my friends at Monograms and iambassador for arranging this experience. I toured with Monograms for 12 days and had an incredible time on the #MonogramsInsider campaign.

        "raw_content": "Relaxing in Coastal Town of Petrovac, Montenegro\nGreetings from Petrovac,\nLast night I had the pleasure of once again hanging out with some new friends at Jef Bar before heading to the opening night of Top Hill; what a club! It\u2019s on top of a hill as the name suggests and I was taken back by the size and style of the place. Suffice to say, coming out to the relaxing coastal town of was just what the good doctor ordered. I spent the afternoon relaxing, taking a trip to the spa and strolling the streets in search of good times and something to eat.\nPetrovac is on the Budva Riviera and not far from the town of Budva itself. Taxi\u2019s are incredibly inexpensive and a ride from Budva to Petrovac will set you back ~15E. That said, if you\u2019re not in a rush you could take a bus which leaves every hour or so for only 2E; not bad. I arrived in the early afternoon and checked into the by the beach which also has a spa and wellness center. After checking in I immediately left my luggage and set out to explore the scene.\nBudva is considerably busier and much larger than Petrovac; it also attracts a different type of tourist for the most part. It\u2019s got the nightlife, old town and lots of hotels; Petrovac is sleepier and tends to attract families. Predominantly Serbian tourists from what I\u2019ve heard but also lots of Russians although less now due to some of the issues happening up there. The town isn\u2019t that large and it appears everything happens on the seaside walkway which is roughly the length of the 600m sandy beach which is without a doubt the main attraction.\nIt\u2019s got all sorts of activities going on in the harbor and it appears one could rent any type of watercraft possible. Also pleased to see some fishermen trying their luck off the pier near the castello. They weren\u2019t catching big fish but plenty of decent sized ones and one of the gents had enough to feed a small army. On the topic of the castello, you can climb to the top and there is an old canon; it offers great views of the sea, an incredible breeze and worth checking out should you find yourself in the area.\nAfter spending some time exploring and getting my feet wet it was time to go to the spa at Monte Casa; I had a 40 minute back and neck massage and it hit the spot. After that I had the pleasure of sampling some sushi and sake at Ambassador which is the only 4 star restaurant in town. I had the tuna sashimi platter as well as a rainbow roll with a side of sake. This is the first sushi I\u2019ve had in the Balkans and it was top shelf. I\u2019ve looked for it a few other times but to no avail; not sure why there isn\u2019t more of it around considering how plentiful the seafood supply is.\nThe seaside walkway behind the beach is lined with restaurants, gift shops and the like. During the day it\u2019s popular with people passing through but at night it gets packed. It\u2019s as though everyone moves from the beach to fill all the various restaurants and cafes. In the evening it all seems quite casual and if you want a big night, is a short cab away. That said, there is a \u2026 Frankly, I\u2019m more than alright with this as tonight is going to be an early one.\nIn closing, hvala to Hotel Monte Casa for their hospitality tonight; it\u2019s very much appreciated.\nLoving Budva, Montenegro\nGood day, This will be brief but wanted to check in with you quickly before I check out of my...\nka4alka-ua.com/poslekursovoe/gonadotropin",

This will make it possible to have just a small part of the programme, in the form of free-standing pavilions, physically in the park, with the roof of the sports centre forming part of the surrounding countryside. Daylight and views are provided by patios and inner courtyards.\nIn addition to the sports complex and outdoor sports facilities the plan also includes a proposal for the layout of the site of which the complex forms part. As is the case with the functional recreational programme, the site has been divided into programmed elements, such as water, a lawn, a group of trees, semi-paved area or outdoor patio. The various programmed elements form a quilt that spreads across the entire site measuring 2.5 hectares.\nThe total programme comprises 6.800 m2 gross for buildings and 8.800 m2 for outdoor sports facilities, consisting of four outdoor tennis courts, two beach volleyball courts, canoe hire and a jogging track on the roof of the complex.

As often happens, they came begging for a second chance.\n\"That's when I rolled my eyes, raised two fingers to my ear and mimicked what my dad used to call the world's smallest violin,\" she says.\n\"I can't hear the violins you're playing / There's no symphony inside my head / I've got my own marching band / Guess I lost my give-a-damn / I can't hear the violins you're playing,\" she sings during the chorus of \"Violins.\"\nThe catchy melody stands apart from other country songs about exes due to the California, Mo., native's punk-rock sensibilities. It's impossible to put a white picket fence around this woman's music.\n\"I see the tears that you cry / But I ain't gonna drink them,\" Ashton sings to start \"Violins.\"\nA lyric video accompanied the release of her new song. She stars as the marching band member that marching band boys always wished would join the group. It's a provocative visual for a song that's not afraid to be sensual. Fans knew of this fearlessness already, however. She is the woman who released \"Taxidermy\" in 2018.\nSince signing with Universal Music Group, Ashton has released a handful of songs digitally, but hasn't yet dropped her first official radio single. There are currently no tour dates listed on her official website.\nKeep an Eye on These Country Women This Year:\nSource: Kassi Ashton\u2019s \u2018Violins\u2019 Proves She Won\u2019t Be Fenced In [Listen]\nFiled Under: Kassi Ashton",

Bigger than almost anything you can think of. And something this big needs a pretty epic song to introduce it. Enter Guns N' Roses' \"Welcome to the Jungle.\"\nThe 30-second spot, titled \"Bigger Than ..., \" is part of the fast-food chain's new campaign for the quesalupa (it's basically a fried taco shell). And if we're to believe Taco Bell, the quesalupa (yeah, they made up that word) is going to be bigger than drones, man buns and hoverboards.\nYou can watch the commercial, which aired during the Super Bowl, above.\nThe beginning of Guns N' Roses' 1987 classic is heard as folks run through a series of modern fads throughout the commercial. It doesn't really have much to do with the quesalupa, or Mexican food at all, but \"Welcome to the Jungle,\" as always, sure makes its presence known.\nThis spot also makes a Jan. 1 tweet from singer Axl Rose seem like foreshadowing. Referencing then-rampant GNR reunion rumors, he wrote, \u201cThe only thing I know 'confirmed' is my LOVE of Taco Bell! Mmmmm\u2026. Taco Bell!! Happy New Years!!\u201d Of course, within days, a very busy year began to come into focus for a rebuilt Guns N' Roses.\nWe now know that Rose will be performing with guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan at their first shows in years in April, starting with a pair of concerts in Las Vegas, including one in Mexico City and wrapping up with two weekends at Coachella.\nNo other dates have been announced yet, but there's much speculation that a bigger tour will be set for 2016. And no other members have been confirmed for the shows yet, but rumors point to guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer and keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Chris Pitman as being part of the lineup.\nAxl Rose Through the Years\nNext: 2016 Super Bowl Commercials\nSource: Guns N\u2019 Roses\u2019 \u2018Welcome to the Jungle\u2019 Featured in Taco Bell Super Bowl Commercial",

        "raw_content": "Mark Langabeer\nDURING THE 1975 REFERENDUM THE LABOUR LEFT and the bulk of the unions campaigned to withdraw from the \u2018Common Market\u2019, as it was known at the time. It was understood, possibly vaguely, that the EU was a bosses\u2019 club and set up to rival the other trading nations in the Far East and the US. The right wing Labour Party leadership backed the case for EU entry with all the other political parties.\nSome on the left still campaign for Brexit on the grounds that it remains a bosses\u2019 club. This is correct. However in my opinion the situation is different from that which existed in 1975. First the campaign was then dominated by the Labour left. Little Englanders, such as Enoch Powell, were on the fringes of the campaign. The unions almost exclusively funded the campaign. Big business funded the In campaign with far greater sums of cash.\nIt is clear that both the In and Out campaigns will be reactionary this time. The Out campaign is dominated by right wing Tories obsessed with the \u2018problem\u2019 of migration and whether migrant workers should receive in-work benefits like other low paid workers in Britain. Cameron has negotiated a reform of the EU along the same lines. In other words he is feeding the same reactionary mythology. In truth Cameron and co only supported a referendum in order to keep their own backbenchers on board and to deal with the rise of UKIP. The In campaigners are dominated by smug business interests who argue that all isfine in Britain within the EU.\nI believe the labour movement should advocate an In vote andfight for an independent campaign within the EU to change it in the direction of socialism. A programme should be democratically developed by the movement, rather than self-appointedfigures in the PLP deciding how the campaign is run. The lessons of the Scottish referendum must be learned and Labour should offer a working class alternative to both the reactionary In and Out campaigns as presently constituted.\nDuring the General Election, Ed Miliband argued that a referendum would not address the problems faced by working people. He was bang on the money on this. However he never offered an alternative based upon the public ownership of the big banks and corporations, which is the only way that jobs, houses and properly funded public services can be guaranteed. Only a socialist European movement will lead to a genuinely united Europe.\nNewton Abbott Constituency Labour Party",

        "title": "What Keeps Us from College: How the College Application Business Keeps Us Out - La Comadre",
        "raw_content": "What Keeps Us from College: How the College Application Business Keeps Us Out\nToday high school students have to go through the College Board one way or another to gain access to a higher education. Superficially, the College Board is labeled a non-profit. The College Board website says that it is \u201ca mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity.\u201d But is that truly its mission?\nThe third time I took the ACT I had to pay for it simply because my school was out of fee waivers. A test that was going to cost me $58.50 was something that made me doubtful on whether or not asking my parents for this money was worth it. It is absurd to look back and think that I had an inner conflict about taking the standardized test that made me go up three points on my composite score. I believe that my score on this exam was an influential factor in being offered admission to top colleges and universities.\nMy school, which served a predominantly low-income student population, did not have enough fee waivers to give its students. The College Board encourages retaking its standardized test, and it only gives a limited number of fee waivers to schools like the one I attended, leaving students who can\u2019t afford these exams to figure out how to pay for them. For students attending schools where fee waivers are not openly advertised, students may struggle figuring out how to pay for their standardized tests.\n*The cost of taking the ACT with the writing portion is $58.50 and the cost of taking the SAT is $57 with the essay. For the SAT, you can get up to two fee waivers to take the test.\nSending Standardized Test Scores\nWhen applying to college, one has to send standardized test scores directly from the College Board. The cost for sending ACT and SAT scores is $12.00 per test. Upon registering, ACT gives you four fee waivers to send your scores, while SAT gives you the same amount but will give you four more waivers if you qualify for them. These limited fee waivers do help subsidize cost, yet only help so much because most students apply to more schools than they receive fee waivers for. Universities have implemented policies such as requiring their applicants to send in every score of every standardized test they have taken or to take additional tests such as the SAT subject test. In doing so, many students that don\u2019t have the means to pay to send test scores are put in tough positions to find the means to send test scores because they may have used all the fee waivers.\nIn four years, I accumulated a debt of $583 because of the 11 AP courses I took (fee reduction reduced price of each exam to $53). AP courses are labeled to challenge students and ultimately save them money once they enter college by counting as college credit. However, in many cases, the courses aren\u2019t taught at a level where students are able to succeed in taking their tests and understanding college content. Also, colleges at times don\u2019t accept the AP courses that students take. Interestingly, students are still mandated to pay for the courses \u2014 showing that even when teachers fail students or when colleges deny accepting AP Credit, the students are still on the hook for paying the fees of the courses.\nNot only that, high schools themselves receive money when students taking AP Exams. According to the College Board, my school was receiving $9 in rebate for each exam I took. I gave my school a total of $99 dollars throughout my four years of high school on top of the mandatory fees they made me pay every year. The normal cost of taking AP tests is $93.\nSome students may have their AP courses paid for. However, the schools in my school district did not pay for them.\nCSS PROFILES\nIn addition to filling out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), schools make students fill out PROFILE to \u201cverify\u201d financial information for non-federal financial aid. Once again, the College Board expresses that PROFILE could give out fee waivers to subsidize the cost. If you don\u2019t receive the fee waiver, then you have to pay pay $25 for your initial PROFILE application in addition to the $16 for any additional reports. It is important to point out that these fee waivers are only given to first-year, domestic students. Also, these fee waivers only apply to the first eight schools you send your reports to. After that, you are required to pay full price. Therefore, for the rest of my college career I will have to pay $16 to this nonprofit that will literally take my parents\u2019 financial information and give it to my university to be able to apply for nonfederal financial aid.\nThe last straw of this argument is simply this non-profit\u2019s members\u2019 salaries. According to the The Washington Post, the CEO of the College Board\u2019s salary for the year of 2013 was $690,854. Also, the article singles out that the College Board invested $1,768,295 in 2013 for lobbying purposes. While youth are scrambling to find ways to pay for their tests or to send their ACT/SAT scores to colleges and universities, this organization that boasts a mission to bridge youth to opportunity pays its executives extremely high salaries and invests heavily in lobbying. Oh, and of course, it is also an organization that takes advantage of non-profit tax exemptions. The irony of this nonprofit is unfathomable.\nThis monopoly is one that shows that those who are privileged to have the financial means to afford these costs are able to pay without concern over sending scores to too many institutions. It is a monopoly in which poor high school students\u2019 applications to universities are contingent on the fee waivers that the College Board gives them. But most of all, this is a monopoly that screams: an education is a privilege, not a right. A privilege seen in the reality that those who have the financial means are the ones who can apply to all the higher education institutions that they want. For those who aren\u2019t as privileged to have the means to pay for all these costs \u2014 well, that is their problem, isn\u2019t it?\nBlog, Compadre Corner, LA CountyCollege, college application, education, higher educationGuillermo CamarilloLeave a comment\nLo Que Nos Mantiene Afuera del Colegio: C\u00f3mo el Negocio de Aplicaci\u00f3n al Colegio Nos Mantiene Afuera\nStronger Partnerships Between Local Schools and Universities Can Help Reform Failing Schools",

        "raw_content": "The Carousel is a ride located in Kiddieland. It is Lagoon's oldest operating ride. Since the year it opened at Lagoon in 1906 until today, it has been entertaining guests of every generation. With the hand carved animals and classic carousel music, this ride provides the perfect amusement park setting.\nLagoon has done an excellent job in preserving this work of art for all to enjoy. This ride is one of less than 170 carousels that operate for the public. And because of it's age and uniqueness, it is truly a work of art. In fact during the fire of 1953, firefighters sent a constant stream of water over the ride to save it from burning.\nNot much is known about the carousel in the thirteen years that it existed before Lagoon purchased it. And efforts to find records of it's location before the purchase have ended with dead ends.\nThe carousel has been restored a few times, the most recent in 2003 when Lagoon prepared the carousel for it's 110th birthday. As the ride continues to age Lagoon continues to ensure that this classic ride will be around for generations to come.\nAlthough Lagoon calls this ride a carousel, it is in fact a merry-go-round. The different between the two is what is on the ride. Carousels only offer horses for riders to enjoy while merry-go-rounds have an assortment of animals and other types of seats.\nRetrieved from \"http://lagoon.wikia.com/wiki/Carousel?oldid=5152\"",

        "raw_content": "Bangkok film fest off to a rocky start\nThe Bangkok International Film Festival's sixth edition kicked off Friday, with some controversy. First, some organizers expressed annoyance that one of the festival's international judges, Singapore director Eric Khoo, had bolted already, choosing instead to watch the competition films on DVD. Also, organizers decided to cancel the showing of \"Children of the Dark,\" a Japanese film about child prostitution in Thailand, because they felt the subject matter was too sensitive.This year's festival, which soft-launched earlier in the week with Woody Allen's \"Vicky Cristina Barcelona,\" will cost about $2 million to stage.\nDirector protests ban from Bangkok fest\nThe director of a film about child trafficking and prostitution in Thailand is protesting the Bangkok International Film Festival's removal of the film from its lineup. On Tuesday, during the opening day of the sixth annual Bangkok fest, Junji Sakamoto, the Japanese director of \"Children of the Dark\" - which organizers last week barred from screening in the festival on the grounds that it lacked the proper permits \u2013 said he would hold a news conference for Wednesday. \"This film must be shown (to) all of the world, especially in Thailand for the children's future,\" Sakamoto said in a statement. \"To stop this film is the same as shutting children's futures, also shutting the future in the country.\" Yongyoot Thongkongtoon, Festival artistic director, said the ban of the Thai-Japanese co-production was more about the subject matter and the image problem it represents for Thailand. The ban makes this year's festival the second in a row to drop a film invited to screen.\nPeter Reid to be named Thailand manager\nPeter Reid is to be named as the new coach of the Thai football team next week, according to the British media. The 52-year-old former Sunderland and Manchester City manager has held discussions with representatives of the Thailand Football Association in Manchester, and his agent is due to fly to Thailand next week for further discussions. The Thai team is seeking a replacement for Charnwit Polcheewin, who resigned after Thailand failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. \"I would like to go,\" Reid said. \"I've had a couple of opportunities in international football - Iran offered me a job, which I didn't take for personal reasons - but this one does interest me, it's good for the CV, and, hopefully, I can get them to the [2014] World Cup.\"\nWesley Snipes requests permission to go abroad\nBangkok offers 15,000 free Wi-Fi spots\nBangkok braces for more demonstrations\nNicolas Cage 'Bangkok Dangerous' Clip\nThaksin looks to planets for end to Thailand's turmoil",

        "title": "Late Night Library | Jeffrey Ford \u2013 A Natural History of Hell",
        "raw_content": "If stories are an attempt to connect with and understand the world, then Jeffrey Ford\u2019s story collection A Natural History of Hell, out now from Small Beer Press, unearths possibilities in our sleeping hearts. The unknowable woods, the rotting house you would scurry by as the daylight wanes (but end up exploring anyway), these places hold insights into who we are, and who we want to be.\nFord chatted with Late Night Library about many things, including how he is potentially being stalked by a massive fox (or the entire countryside\u2019s army of wildlife, and just maybe escaped convicts); the act of constructing short stories; a very important distinction between grotesque and strange, including his preference for giving readers \u201cthe yips.\u201d Read on, and find the shadows peeling back to reveal\u2026\nAUSTIN WILSON: Animals feature in several of the collections\u2019 stories, sometimes as no more than pets or wild creatures, but also anthropomorphic monstrosities. What do you think we fear more: the familiar turning on us, or the attack of the unknown?\nJEFFREY FORD: I think \u201cthe familiar turning on us\u201d is actually an aspect of \u201cthe attack of the unknown.\u201d For most scary stories the mood and scene are more important than the menace. As for animals in the stories, it makes sense. I live in a house with 3 dogs and 6 cats. There are cows and goats and horses just across the road. Out back, there are deer eating from our garden and apple trees, and in the winter, I suppose, coyotes eating deer in the snow covered, stubble fields. At night, in spring, the fox comes, stands behind the garage and cries out with a sound like Satan choking on a wishbone. The animals are everywhere.\nAW: That\u2019s a great way to approach writing a scary story, specifically when trying to unsettle and not simply startle. I think horror films (or thrillers, ghost stories, the many sub-genres etc.) can so easily startle someone, the focus on setting and its many possibilities falls away, whereas prose is a little more capable of eroding our comfort from the inside out. And maybe it was inevitable, but I\u2019m imagining a terrifying and immense fox stalking your back yard, coughing all night.\nJF: There\u2019s all kinds of fucking creatures around here. You can hear them creeping around out there at night \u2013 deer, coyote, foxes, possums, raccoons, etc. The dogs will just start barking seemingly for no reason, and no doubt the damn creatures are up to something in the backyard. They\u2019re not the worst varmints, though. Two summers ago this guy escaped from a roadside cleanup crew from one of the prisons and ran north from route 70. He wound up in the endless cornfields behind our house. People would spot him every now and then. He\u2019d been in the service and had special survival skills from what they said on the radio. There were cops around with shotguns walking the straight roads between the cornfields for about a month. Somehow the escapee eluded them in a stolen truck. We were all jumpy, not knowing where he might surface, whose garage he was sleeping in.\nAW: How focused are you on structure when putting together a short story? Is there a looming sense that you need to utilize a classic formula (i.e. three acts) if structure is called for? Can this happen organically as opposed to being planned?\nJF: When I think about structure in stories or novels I don\u2019t perceive it as architecture or architectonic. Actually I can\u2019t completely visualize it but I feel it like an evolving music. I know writers who do think architecturally about structure and lay out a floor plan before they begin building. Poe is a writer like that, and a great one too. It\u2019s one approach. Organic, I think, best describes the approach I have. I\u2019m about working to discover the structure as I go along, at times like I\u2019m excavating something that already exists on its own, at other times witnessing the plot like a growing plant I can\u2019t see but can feel like music. I realize that hardly makes any sense.\nAW: I think the idea of feeling a story like music makes total sense, particularly while contemplating how writing a scene that feels wrong is so similar to how an ear may pick out a single note that doesn\u2019t carry the song forward. How much editing, generally, does this style lead to?\nJF: I edit as I go. Every day when I start writing, I\u2019ll bring the piece up and go back to the beginning or some prior place in the text and read through and edit as I go. When I finish that process, I start writing for the day. It\u2019s a way to read the text multiple times, fixing and pruning each day, and also a good way to fall into the story.\nAW: How do you think readers prepare themselves \u2013 subconsciously or otherwise \u2013 for the shorter term investment in a short story?\nJF: There are as many ways to approach the reading of a novel or short story as there are readers. To be honest, I have no idea how others would prepare themselves to read. For me, I don\u2019t consider the duration of a work, the page length, etc., when I open a story or a book. I know I\u2019m entering the world of fiction or a world of fiction. If in reading the first few paragraphs I\u2019m drawn to the characters, the setting, the flow of the language, and the promise of a story well-told, I don\u2019t care how long it will take me to read it. I afford stories and novels the same sense of time \u2013fiction time. As far as what anybody else does \u2013 go for it. Saying this, I am aware that there is more to the difference between writing a novel and a story, but here I\u2019m just speaking about reading.\nAW: God makes an appearance as a character in one short (title withheld to maintain the story\u2019s narrative), with an uppercase \u2018G\u2019. Is the moment satirical, sacrilegious, or something else entirely?\nJF: I know what story you\u2019re referring to but I can\u2019t remember what I was thinking when I wrote it or whether I was thinking at all. I do recall sitting out back on a summer afternoon and watching a surprise cool breeze sift through the silver backed leaves of a tulip tree and thinking about that story and how fucking weird it was. Other than that I\u2019m a blank on it. I usually leave this kind of stuff to the reader to figure out. Since you ask, though, I think the moment is not satirical but what the story wanted it to be. Satire, I think is a kind of illegitimate offspring of exposition, using fictional techniques often even though it\u2019s an essay. There was no meaning consciously inferred by God\u2019s turn in the story.\nAW: I love how fucking weird that story is! And God showing up fit it wonderfully, too. Also knowing you were sitting out back and watching a breeze shift silver leaves struck me as incongruous at first, but a detail from the story occurred to me \u2013 the aforementioned wings \u2013 and now it seems perfectly apt. It makes me wonder if the leaves influenced the wings, and if so, what may have influenced God showing up.\nJF: Wow, the wings. Nice touch. I had no idea. I don\u2019t know why God shows up in it. There\u2019s a lot to ponder in that story. I leave it to readers to have their way with it.\nAW: Readers are given many striking images \u2013 a hand floating in stew; wings covered in fish scale, to name two from a single story \u2013 and the sense of horror is driven by visuals. Are you always drawn more to the grotesque, or what would be considered \u201cstrange\u201d?\nJF: The distinction between grotesque and strange, the two words that you use in your question, is that the grotesque is something like the monster in a story (a definitive physical entity), the focus, whereas the strange is the setting, the mood (more enveloping and pervasive. They both inform each other but personally I\u2019m far more interested in the strange than the grotesque. To write a ghost story, you don\u2019t need a ghost, just a haunting. The same monster can appear in two stories, one as a fierce, cunning predator, and the other, as a clownish buffoon, depending upon the setting and the mood.\nAW: Is setting and mood the first aspect of a story you focus on, after the initial idea?\nJF: Actually, I may get the idea for a story by focusing solely on setting and mood. I don\u2019t know other writer\u2019s experiences, but it seems to me that stories will come at you from all different avenues and angles. Get the setting and the mood right in your mind sometimes, and that combination will dream the characters into existence.\nAW: While you\u2019re writing stories intended to unsettle or scare, do you ever feel the emotions sought in readers? Or are you disconnected from those possibilities? Protected against them?\nJF: Intention is something you may not know for many months or years after a story is written, published, and read by others. In fact you may never know, so it\u2019s problematic to speak about it. I\u2019m not big on scaring \u2013 like the cat jumping out of the closet in the haunted house in a 1950\u2019s ghost movie. I\u2019d rather engender a case of what my father-in-law called\u2013 the yips. He told me that when he was a kid his older cousin, Walter, took him to Coney Island, and they saw a guy pull a wheelbarrow full of bricks with wires attached to his eyelids. \u201cGave me the yips,\u201d he said.\nPurchase a copy of A Natural History of Hell at IndieBound and a portion of the purchase price will support Late Night Library.\nJeffrey Ford was born on Long Island in New York State in 1955 and grew up in the town of West Islip. He studied fiction writing with John Gardner at S.U.N.Y Binghamton. He\u2019s been a college English teacher of writing and literature for thirty years. He is the author of eight novels including The Girl in the Glass and four short story collections.

        "title": "Chapter 5: The Methods of Anarcho-Syndicalism",
        "raw_content": "Home / Anarcho-syndicalism - Rudolf Rocker\nChapter 5: The Methods of Anarcho-Syndicalism\nIt has often been charged against Anarcho-Syndicalism that it has no interest in the political structure of the different countries, and consequently no interest in the political struggles of the time, and confines its activities to the fight for purely economic demands. This idea is altogether erroneous and springs either from outright ignorance or wilful distortion of the facts. It is not the political struggle as such which distinguishes the Anarcho-Syndicalists from the modern labour parties, both in principle and in tactics, but the form of this struggle and the aims which it has in view. They by no means rest content with the ideal of a future society without lordship; their efforts are also directed, even today, at restricting the activities of the state and blocking its influence in every department of social life wherever they see an opportunity. It is these tactics which mark off Anarcho-Syndicalist procedure from the aims and methods of the political labour parties, all of whose activities tend constantly to broaden the sphere of influence of the political power of the state and to extend it in ever increasing measure over the economic life of society. But by this, in the outcome, the way is merely prepared for an era of state capitalism, which according to all experience may be just the opposite of what Socialism is actually fighting for.\nThe attitude of Anarcho-Syndicalism toward the political power of the present-day state is exactly the same as it takes toward the system of capitalist exploitation. Its adherents are perfectly clear that the social injustices of that system rest, not on its unavoidable excrescences, but in the capitalistic economic order as such. But, while their efforts are directed at abolishing the existing form of capitalist exploitation and replacing it by a Socialist order, they never for a moment forget to work also by every means at their command to lower the rate of profit of the capitalists under existing conditions, and to raise the producer's share of the products of his labour to the highest possible.\nAnarcho-Syndicalists pursue the same tactics in their fight against that political power which finds its expression in the state. They recognise that the modern state is just the consequence of capitalist economic monopoly, and the class divisions which this has set up in society, and merely serves the purpose of maintaining this status by every oppressive instrument of political power. But, while they are convinced that along with the system of exploitation its political protective device, the state, will also disappear, to give place to the administration of public affairs on the basis of free agreement, they do not all overlook that the efforts of the worker within the existing political order must always be directed toward defending all achieved political and social rights against every attack of reaction, constantly widening the scope of these rights wherever the opportunity for this presents itself.\nFor just as the worker cannot be indifferent to the economic conditions of his life in existing society, so he cannot remain indifferent to the political structure of his country. Both in the struggle for his daily bread and for every kind of propaganda looking toward his social liberation he needs political rights and liberties, and he must fight for these himself in every situation where they are denied him, and must defend them with all his strength whenever the attempt is made to wrest them from him. It is, therefore, utterly absurd to assert that the Anarcho-Syndicalists take no interest in the political struggles of the time. The heroic battle of the C.N.T. in Spain against Fascism is, perhaps, the best proof that there is not a grain of truth in this idle talk.\nBut the point of attack in the political struggle lies, not in the legislative bodies, but in the people. Political rights do not originate in parliaments; they are, rather, forced on parliaments from without. And even their enactment into law has for a long time been no guarantee of their security. Just as the employers always try to nullify every concession they had made to labour as soon as opportunity offered, as soon as any signs of weakness were observable in the workers' organisations, so governments also are always inclined to restrict or to abrogate completely rights and freedoms that have been achieved if they imagine that the people will put up no resistance. Even in these countries where such things as freedom of the press, right of assembly, right of combination and the like have long existed, governments are constantly trying to restrict these rights or to reinterpret them by juridical hair-splitting. Political rights do not exist because they have been legally set down on a piece of paper, but only when they have become the ingrown habit of a people, and when any attempt to impair them will meet with the violent resistance of the populace. Where this is not the case, there is no help in any parliamentary Opposition or any Platonic appeals to the constitution. One compels respect from others when he knows how to defend his dignity as a human being. This is not only true in private life, it has always been the same in political life as well.\nThe peoples owe all the political rights and privileges which we enjoy today in greater or lesser measure, not to the good will of their governments, but to their own strength. Governments have employed every means that lay in their power to prevent the attainment of these rights or to render them illusory. Great mass movements among the people and whole revolutions have been necessary to wrest these rights from the ruling classes, who would never have consented to them voluntarily. One need only study the history of the past three hundred years to understand by what relentless struggles every right has to be wrested inch by inch from the despots. What hard struggles, for example, had the workers in England, France, Spain, and other countries to endure to compel their governments to recognise the right of trade union organisation. In France the prohibition against trade unions persisted until 1886. Had it not been for the incessant struggles of the workers, there would be no right of combination in the French Republic even today. Only after the workers had by direct action confronted parliament with accomplished facts, did the government see itself obliged to take the new situation into account and give legal sanction to the trade unions.What is important is not that governments have decided to concede certain rights to the people, but the reason why they have had to do this. To him who fails to understand the connection here history will always remain a book with seven seals.\nOf course, if one accepts Lenin's phrase and thinks of freedom as merely a \"bourgeois prejudice,\" then, to be sure, political rights and liberties have no value at all for the workers. But then all the countless struggles of the past, all the revolts and revolutions to which we owe these rights, are also without value. To proclaim this bit of wisdom it would hardly have been necessary to overthrow tsarism, for even the censorship of Nicholas II would certainly have had no objection to the designation of freedom as a \"bourgeois prejudice.\" Moreover, the great theorists of reaction, Joseph de Maistre and Louis Bonald, has already done this, though in different words, and the defenders of absolutism had been very grateful to them.\nBut the Anarcho-Syndicalists would be the every last to mistake the importance of these rights to the workers. If they, nevertheless, reject any participation in the work of bourgeois parliaments, it is not because they have no sympathy with political struggles in general, but because they are firmly convinced that parliamentary activity is for the workers the very weakest and the most hopeless form of the political struggle. For the bourgeois classes the parliamentary system is without a doubt an appropriate instrument for the settlement of such conflicts as arise, and for making profitable collaboration possible, as they are all equally interested in maintaining the existing economic order and the political organisation for the protection of that order. Now, where a common interest exists, a mutual agreement is possible and serviceable to all parties. But for the working class the situation is very different. For them the existing economic order is the source of their economic exploitation, and the organised power of the state the instrument of their political and social subjection. Even the freest ballot cannot do away with the glaring contrast between the possessing and non-possessing classes in society. It can only serve to impart to a system of social injustice the stamp of legal right and to induce the slave to set the stamp of legality on his own servitude.\nBut, most important of all, practical experience has shown that the participation of the workers in parliamentary activity cripples their power of resistance and dooms to futility their warfare against the existing system. Parliamentary participation has not brought the workers one iota nearer to their final goal; it has even prevented them from protecting the rights they have won against the attacks of the reaction. In Prussia, for example, the largest state in Germany, where the Social Democrats until shortly before Hitler's accession to power were the strongest party in the government and had control of the most important ministries in the country, Herr von Papen, after his appointment as Reichskanzler by Hindenburg, could venture to violate the constitution of the land and dissolve the Prussian ministry with only a lieutenant and a dozen soldiers. When the Socialist Party in its helplessness could think of nothing to do after this open breach of the constitution except to appeal to the high court of the Reich instead of meeting the perpetrators of the coup d'etat with open resistance, the reaction knew they had nothing more to fear and from then on could offer the workers what they pleased. The fact is that von Papen's coup d'etat was merely the start along the road to the Third Reich.\nAnarcho-Syndicalists, then, are not in any way opposed to the political struggle, but in their opinion this struggle, too, must take the form of direct action, in which the instruments of economic power which the working class has at its command are the most effective. The most trivial wage fight shows clearly that, whenever the employers find themselves in difficulties, the state steps in with the police, and even in some cases with the militia, to protect the threatened interests of the possessing classes. It would, therefore, be absurd for them to overlook the importance of the political struggle. Every event that affects the life of the community is of a political nature. In this sense, every important economic action, such, for example, as a general strike, is also a political action and, moreover, one of incomparably greater importance than any parliamentary proceeding. Of a political nature is likewise the battle of the Anarcho-Syndicalists against Fascism and the anti-militarist propaganda, a battle which for decades was carried on solely by the libertarian Socialists and the Syndicalists, and which was attended by tremendous sacrifices.\nThe fact is that, when the Socialist labour parties have wanted to achieve some decisive political reform, they have always found that they could not do so by their own strength and have been obliged to rely wholly on the economic fighting power of the working class. The political general strikes in Belgium, Sweden and Austria for the attainment of universal suffrage are proof of this. And in Russia it was the great general strike of the working people that in 1905 pressed the pen into the tsar's hand for the signing of the constitution. What the heroic struggle of the Russian intelligentsia had not been able to accomplish in decades, the united economic action of the working classes quickly brought to fulfilment.\nThe focal point of the political struggle lies, then, not in the political parties, but in the economic fighting organisations of the workers. It as the recognition of this which impelled the Revolutionary Unionists to centre all their activity on the Socialist education of the masses and on the utilisation of their economic and social power. Their method is that of direct action in both the economic and the political struggles of the time. That is the only method which has been able to achieve anything at all in every decisive moment in history. And the bourgeoisie in its struggles against absolutism has also made abundant use of this method, and by refusal to pay taxes, by boycott and revolution, has defiantly asserted its position as the dominant class in society. So much the worse if its representatives of today have forgotten the story of their fathers, and howl bloody murder at the \"\u017eunlawful methods\u00be of the workers fighting for liberation. As if the law had ever permitted a subject class to shake off its yoke.\nBy direct action the Anarcho-Syndicalists mean every method of immediate warfare by the workers against their economic and political oppressors. Among these the outstanding are: the strike, in all its gradations from the simple wage-struggle to the general strike; the boycott; sabotage in its countless forms; anti-militarist propaganda; and in particularly critical cases, such, for example, as that in Spain today, armed resistance of the people for the protection of life and liberty.\nAmong these fighting techniques the strike, that is, organised refusal to work, is the most used. It plays in the industrial age the same role for the workers as did their frequent uprisings for the peasants in the feudal era. In its simplest form it is for the workers an indispensable means of raising their standard of living or defending their attained advantages against the concerted measures of the employers. But the strike is for the workers not only a means for the defence of immediate economic interests, it is also a continuous schooling for their powers of resistance, showing them every day that every least right has to be won by unceasing struggle against the existing system.\nJust as are the economic fighting organisations of the workers, so also are the daily wage-struggles a result of the capitalist economic order, and consequently, a vital necessity for the workers. Without these they would be submerged in the abyss of poverty. Certainly the social problem cannot be solved by wage-struggles alone, but they are the best educative equipment for making the workers aquainted with the real essence of the social problem, training them for the struggle for liberation from economic and social slavery. It may also be taken as true that so long as the worker has to sell hands and brain to an employer, he will in the long run never earn more than is required to provide the most indispensable necessities of life. But these necessities of life are not always the same, but are constantly changing with the demands which the worker makes on life.\nHere we come to the general cultural significance of the labour struggle. The economic alliance of the producers not only afford them a weapon for the enforcement of better living conditions, it becomes for them a practical school, a university of experience, from which they draw instruction and enlightenment in richest measure. The practical experiences and occurrences of the everyday struggles of the workers find an intellectual precipitate in their organisations, deepen their understanding, and broaden their intellectual outlook. By the constant intellectual elaboration of their life experiences there are developed in individuals new needs and the urge for different fields of intellectual life. And precisely in this development lies the great cultural significance of these struggles.\nTrue intellectual culture and the demand for higher interests in life does not become possible until man has achieved a certain material standard of living, which makes him capable of these. Without this preliminary any higher intellectual aspirations are quite out of the question. Men who are constantly threatened by direst misery can hardly have much understanding of the higher cultural values. Only after the workers, by decades of struggle, had conquered for themselves a better standard of living could there be any talk of intellectual and cultural development among them. But it is just these aspirations of the workers which the employers view with deepest distrust. For capitalists as a class, the well-known saying of the Spanish minister, Juan Bravo Murillo, still holds good today:\"\u017eWe need no men who can think among the workers; what we need is beasts of toil.\u00be\nOne of the most important results of the daily economic struggles is the development of solidarity among the workers, and this has for them a quite different meaning from the political coalition of parties whose following is composed of people of every social class. A feeling of mutual helpfulness, whose strength is constantly being renewed in the daily struggle for the necessities of life, which is constantly making the most extreme demands on the co-operation of men subjected to the same conditions, operates very differently from abstract party principles, which for the most part are of only Platonic value. It grows into the vital consciousness of a community of fate, and this gradually develops into a new sense of right, and becomes the preliminary ethical assumption of every effort at the liberation of an oppressed class.\nTo cherish and strengthen this natural solidarity of the workers and to give to every strike movement a more profoundly social character, is one of the most important tasks which the Anarcho-Syndicalists have set themselves. For this reason the sympathetic strike is one of their choicest weapons, and has developed in Spain to a compass it has not attained in any other country. Through it the economic battle becomes a deliberate action of the workers as a class. The sympathetic strike is the collaboration of related, but also of unrelated, categories of labour, to help the battle of a particular trade to victory by extending the strike to other branches of labour, where this is necessary. In this case the workers are not satisfied with giving fighting assistance to their striking brethren, but go further, and by crippling entire industries cause a break in the whole economic life in order to make their demands effective.\nToday, when by the formation of national and international cartels and trusts private capitalism grows more and more into monopoly capitalism, this form of warfare is in most cases the only one by which the workers can still promise themselves success. Because of the internal transformation in industrial capitalism the sympathetic strike becomes for the workers the imperative of the hour. Just as the employers in their cartels and protective organisations are building an ever broader basis for the defence of their interests, so also the workers must turn their attention to creating for themselves by an ever wider alliance of their national and international economic organisations the required basis for solidaric mass action adequate for the demands of the time. The restricted strike is today losing more and more of its original importance, even if it is not doomed to disappear altogether. In the modern economic struggle between capital and labour the big strike, involving entire industries, will play a larger and larger part. Even the workers in the old craft organisations, which are as yet untouched by Socialist ideas, have grasped that, as is shown clearly enough by the rapid springing up of industrial unions in America in contrast with the old methods of the A.F.of L.\nDirect action by organised labour finds its strongest expression in the general strike, in the stoppage of work in every branch of production by the organised resistance of the proletariat, with all the consequences arising from it. It is the most powerful weapon which the workers have at their command, and gives the most comprehensive expression to their strength as a social factor. After the French trade union congress in Marseilles (1892), and the later congresses of the C.G.T. (General Federation of Labour) had by a large majority declared for the propaganda of the general strike, it was the political labour parties in Germany and most other countries which assailed most violently this form of proletarian action, and rejected it as \"Utopian.\" \"The general strike is general madness\" was the trenchant phrase which was coined at that time by one of the most prominent leaders of the German Social Democracy. But the great strike movement of the years immediately following, in Spain, Belgium, Italy, Holland, Russia, and so on, showed clearly that this alleged \"\u017eUtopia\u00be lay wholly within the realm of the possible and did not arise from the imagination of a few revolutionary fanatics.\nThe general strike is, of course, not an agency that can be invoked arbitrarily on every occasion. It needs certain social assumptions to give it its proper moral strength and make it a proclamation of the will of the broad masses of the people. The ridiculous claim, which is so often attributed to the Anarcho-Syndicalists, that it is only necessary to proclaim a general strike in order to achieve a Socialist society in a few days, is, of course, just a silly invention of evil-minded opponents bent on discrediting an idea which they cannot attack by any other means.\nThe general strike can serve various purposes. It can be the last stage of a sympathetic strike, as for example, the general strike in Barcelona in February, 1902, or that in Bilbao in October, 1903, which enabled the mine workers to get rid of the hated truck system and compelled the employers to establish sanitary conditions on the mines. It can as easily be a means by which organised labour tries to enforce some general demand, as, for example, in the attempted general strike in the U.S.A. in 1886, to compel the granting of the eight-hour day in all industries. The great general strike of the English workers in 1926 was the result of a planned attempt by the employers to lower the general standard of living of the workers by a cut in wages.\nBut the general strike can also have political objectives in view, as, for example, the fight of the Spanish workers in 1904, for the liberation of political prisoners, or the general strike in Catalonia in July, 1909, to compel the government to terminate the war in Morocco. And the general strike of the German workers in 1920, which was instituted after the so-called Kapp putsch and put an end to a government that had attained to power by a military uprising, belongs to this category; as do also the mass strikes in Belgium in 1903, and in Sweden in 1909, to compel the granting of universal suffrage, and the general strike of the Russian workers in 1905, for the granting of the constitution. But in Spain the widespread strike movement among the workers and peasants after the Fascist revolt in July, 1936, developed into a \"\u017esocial general strike\u00be (huelga general) and led to armed resistance, and with this to the abolishment of the capitalist economic order and the reorganisation of the economic life by the workers themselves.\nThe great importance of the general strike lies in this: at one blow it brings the whole economic system to a standstill and shakes it to its foundations. Moreover, such an action is in no wise dependent on the practical preparedness of all the workers, as all the citizens of a country have never participated in a social overturn. That the organised workers in the most important industries quit work is enough to cripple the entire economic mechanism, which cannot function without the daily provision of coal, electric power, and raw materials of every sort. But when the ruling classes are confronted with an energetic, organised working class, schooled in daily conflict, and are aware of what they have at stake, they become much more willing to make the necessary concessions, and, above all, they fear to take a course with the workers which might drive them to extremes. Even Jean Jaures who, as a Socialist parliamentarian, was not in agreement with the idea of the general strike, had to concede that the constant danger arising from the possibility of such a movement admonished the possessing classes to caution, and, above everything, made them shrink from the suppression of hard-won rights, since they saw that this could easily lead to catastrophe.\nBut at the time of a universal social crisis, or when, as today in Spain, the concern is to protect an entire people against the attacks of benighted reactionaries, the general strike is an invaluable weapon, for which there is no substitute. By crippling the whole public life it makes difficult mutual agreements of the representatives of the ruling classes and the local officials with the central government, even when it does not entirely prevent them. Even the use of the army is, in such cases, directed at very different tasks from those of political revolt. In the latter case it suffices for the government, so long as it can rely on the military, to concentrate its troops in the capital and the most important points in the country, in order to meet the danger that threatens.\nA general strike, however, leads inevitably to a scattering of the military forces, as in such a situation the important concern is the protection of all important centres of industry and the transport system against the rebellious workers. But this means that military discipline, which is always strongest when soldiers operate in fixed formations, is relaxed. Where the military in small groups faces a determined people fighting for its freedom, there always exists the possibility that at least a part of the soldiers will reach some inner insight and comprehend that, after all, it is their own parents and brothers at whom they are pointing their weapons. For militarism, also, is primarily a psychologic problem, and its disastrous influence always manifests itself where the individual is given no chance to think about his dignity as a human being, no chance to see that there are higher tasks in life than lending oneself to the uses of a bloody oppressor of one's own people.\nFor the workers the general strike takes the place of the barricades of the political uprising. It is for them a logical outcome of the industrial system whose victims they are today, and at the same time it offers them their strongest weapon in their struggle for liberation, provided they recognise their own strength and learn how to use this weapon properly. William Morris, with the prophetic vision of the poet, foresaw this development in affair, when, in his splendid book News from Nowhere, he has the Socialist reconstruction of society preceded by a long series of general strikes of ever increasing violence, which shook the old system to its deepest foundations, until at last its supporters were no longer able to put up any resistance against this new enlightenment of the toiling masses in town and country.\nThe whole development of modern capitalism, which is today growing into an ever graver danger to society, can but serve to spread this enlightenment more widely among the workers. The fruitlessness of the participation of the organised workers in parliaments, which is today becoming more and more manifest in every country, of itself compels them to look about for new methods for the effective defence of their interests and their eventual liberation from the yoke of wage slavery.\nAnother important fighting device for direct action is the boycott. It can be employed by the workers both in their character of producers and of consumers. A systematic refusal of consumers to buy from firms that handle goods not produced under conditions approved by the labour unions can often be of decisive importance, especially for those branches of labour engaged in the production of commodities of general use. At the same time the boycott is very well adapted to influencing public opinion in favour of the workers, provided it is accompanied by suitable propaganda. The union label is a effective means of facilitating the boycott, at it gives the purchaser the sign by which to distinguish the goods he wants from the spurious. Even the masters of the Third Reich experienced what a weapon the boycott can become in the hands of the great masses of people, when they had to confess that the international boycott against German goods had inflicted serious damage on German export trade. And this influence might have been greater still, if the trade unions had kept public opinion alert by incessant propaganda, and had continued to foster the protest against the suppression of the German labour movement.\nAs producers the boycott provides the workers with the means of imposing an embargo on individual plants whose managers show themselves especially hostile to trade unions. In Barcelona, Valencia and Cadiz the refusal of the longshoremen to unload German vessels compelled the captains of these vessels to discharge their cargoes in North African harbours. If the trade unions in the other countries had resolved on the same procedure, they would have achieved incomparably greater results than by Platonic protests. In any case the boycott is one of the most effective fighting devices in the hands of the working class, and the more profoundly aware of this device the workers become, the more comprehensive and successful will they become in their everyday struggles.\nAmong the weapons in the Anarcho-Syndicalist armoury is the one most feared by the employer and most harshly condemned as \"\u017eunlawful.\u00be In realty we are dealing here with a method of economic petty warfare that is as old as the system of exploitation and political oppression itself. It is, in some circumstances, simply forced upon the workers, when every other device fails. Sabotage consists in the workers putting every possible obstacle in the way of the ordinary modes of work. For the most part this occurs when the employers try to avail themselves of a bad economic situation or some other favourable occasion to lower the normal conditions of labour by curtailment of wages or by lengthening of the hours of labour. The term itself is derived from the French word, sabot, wooden shoe, and means to work clumsily as if by sabot blows. The whole import of sabotage is exhausted in the motto: for bad wages, bad work. The employer himself acts on the same principle, when he calculates the price of his goods according to their quality. The producer finds himself in the same position: his goods are his labour-power, and it is only good and proper that he should try to dispose of it on the best terms he can get.\nBut when the employer takes advantage of the evil position of the producer to force the price of his labour-power as low as possible, he need not wonder when the latter defends himself as best he can and for this purpose makes use of the means which the circumstances put in his hands. The English workers were already doing this long before revolutionary Syndicalism was spoken of on the continent. In fact the policy of \"\u017eca' canny\u00be (go slow), which, along with the phrase itself, the English workers took over from their Scottish brethren, was the first and most effective form of sabotage. There are today in every industry a hundred means by which the workers can seriously disturb production; everywhere under the modern system of division of labour, where often the slightest disturbance in one branch of the work can bring to a standstill the entire process of production. Thus the railway workers in France and Italy by the use of the so-called greve perlee (string-of-pearls-strike) threw the whole system of transportation into disorder. For this they needed to do nothing more than to adhere to the strict letter of the existing transport laws, and thus made it impossible for any train to arrive at its destination on time. When the employers are at once faced with the fact that even in an unfavourable situation, where the workers would not dare to think of a strike, they still have in their hands the means of defending themselves, there will also come to them the understanding that it does not pay to make use of some particular hard situation of the workers of force harder conditions of living upon them.\nThe so-called sit down strike, which was transplanted from Europe to America with such suprising rapidity and consists of the workers remaining in the plant day and night without turning a finger in order to prevent the installing of strike-breakers, belongs in the realm of sabotage. Very often sabotage works thus: before a strike the workers put the machines out of order to make the work of possible strike-breakers harder, or even impossible for a considerable time. In no field is there as so much scope for the imagination of the worker as in this. But the sabotage of the workers is directed against the employers, never against the consumers. In his report before the C.G.T. in Toulouse in 1897, Emile Pouget laid special stress on this point. All the reports in the bourgeois press about bakers who had baked glass in their bread, or farm hands who had poisoned milk, and the like, are malicious inventions, designed solely to prejudice the public against the workers.\nSabotaging the consumers is the age old-privilege of the employers. The deliberate adulteration of provisions, the construction of wretched slums and insanitary tenements of the poorest and cheapest material, the destruction of great quantities of foodstuffs in order to keep up prices, while millions are perishing in direst misery, the constant efforts of the employers to force the subsistence of the workers down to the lowest point possible, in order to grab for themselves the highest possible profits, the shameless practice of the armament industries of supplying foreign countries with complete equipment for war, which, given the appropriate occasion, may be employed to lay waste the country that produced them, all these and many more are merely individual items in an interminable list of types of sabotage by capitalists against their own people.\nAnother form of direct action is the social strike, which will, without doubt, in the immediate future play a much larger part. It is concerned less with the immediate interests of the producers than with the protection of the community against the most pernicious outgrowths of the present system. The social strike seeks to force upon the employers a responsibility to the public. Primarily it has in view the protection of the consumers, of whom the workers themselves constitute the great majority. The task of the trade union has heretofore been restricted almost exclusively to the protection of the worker as producer. As long as the employer was observing the hours of labour agreed on and paying the established wage this task was being performed. In other words: the trade union is interested only in the conditions under which its members work, not in the kind of work they perform. Theoretically, it is, indeed, asserted that the relation between employer and employee is based upon a contract for the accomplishment of a definite purpose. The purpose in this case is social production. But a contract has meaning only when both parties participate equally in the purpose. In reality, however, the worker has today no voice in determining production, for this is given over completely to the employer. The consequence is that the worker is debased by doing a thousand things which constantly serve only to injure the whole community for the advantage of the employer. He is compelled to make use of inferior and often actually injurious materials in the fabrication of his products, to erect wretched dwellings, to put up spoiled foodstuffs, and to perpetuate innumerable acts that are planned to cheat the consumer.\nTo interfere vigorously here is, in the opinion of the Revolutionary Unionists, the great task of the trade unions of the future. An advance in this direction would at the same time enhance the position of the workers in society, and in large measure confirm that position. Various efforts in this field have already been made, as witness, for example, the strike of the building-workers in Barcelona, who refused to use poor material and the wreckage from old buildings in the erection of workers' dwelling (1902), the strikes in various large restaurants in Paris because the kitchen workers were unwilling to prepare for serving cheap, decaying meat (1906), and a long list of instances in recent times; all going to prove that the workers' understanding of their responsibility to society is growing. The resolution of the German armament workers at the congress in Erfurt (1919) to make no more weapons of war and to compel their employers to convert their plants to other uses, belongs also to this category. And it is a fact that this resolution was maintained for almost two years, until it was broken by the Central Trades Unions. The Anarcho-Syndicalist workers of Sommerda resisted with great energy to the last, when their place were taken by members of the \"\u017efree labour unions.\u00be\nAs outspoken opponents of all nationalist ambitions the revolutionary Syndicalists, especially in the Latin countries, have always devoted a very considerable part of their activity to anti-militarist propaganda, seeking to hold the workers in soldiers' coats loyal to their class and to prevent their turning their weapons against their brethren in time of a strike. This has cost them great sacrifices; but they have never ceased their efforts, because they know that they can regain their efforts only by incessant warfare against the dominant powers. At the same time, however, the anti-militarist propaganda contributes in large measure to oppose the threat of wars to come with the general strike. The Anarcho-Syndicalists know that wars are only waged in the interest of the ruling classes; they believe, therefore, that any means is justifiable that can prevent the organised murder of peoples. In this field also the workers have every means in their hands, if only they possess the desire and the moral strength to use them.\nAbove all it is necessary to cure the labour movement of its inner ossification and rid it of the empty sloganeering of the political parties, so that it may forge ahead intellectually and develop within itself the creative conditions which must precede the realisation of Socialism. The practical attainability of this goal must become for the workers an inner certainty and must ripen into an ethical necessity. The great final goal of Socialism must emerge from all the practical daily struggles, and must give them a social character. In the pettiest struggle, born of the needs of the moment, there must be mirrored the great goal of social liberation, and each such struggle must help to smooth the way and strengthen the spirit which transforms the inner longing of its bearers into will and deed.\n\u2039 Chapter 4: The Objectives of Anarcho-Syndicalism up Chapter 6: The Evolution of Anarcho-Syndicalism \u203a\nAnarcho-syndicalism - Rudolf Rocker\nChapter 1: Anarchism - Its Aims and Purposes\nChapter 2: The Proletariat and the Beginning of the Modern Labour Movement\nChapter 3: The Forerunners of Syndicalism\nChapter 4: The Objectives of Anarcho-Syndicalism\n1926: The social general strike- why 1926 failed- Tom Brown\nAnarcho-syndicalism in Peru, 1905-1930- Steven Hirsch\nThe General Strike: An Incomplete Bibliography for Ambivalent Occupiers\nThe Revolutionary Movement in Spain- Helmut R\u00fcdiger",

        "title": "Literacy in Leafstrewn: Economics research is better than education research, after all!",
        "raw_content": "Economics research is better than education research, after all!\nIt's been interesting to follow the responses to the revelation that Reinhardt and Rogoff's influential 2010 paper about debt and growth was fundamentally flawed (their paper implied, and their own public advocacy made more explicit, that once a country's debt/GDP ratio got above 90%, economic growth fell off sharply, but it turns out that there is no such falling off).\nI've already written about the first thing that interested me, the similarity between the shoddiness of economics research and the shoddiness of education research. Neither field is particularly scientific, and both are subject to what looks to me like heavy cultural and political bias or influence. One problem is that it's difficult in both fields, and virtually impossible in macroeconomics, to do controlled experiments. A related problem is that it's often hard to tell what's cause and what's effect. And both education and economics are central to culture and politics, so both are more subject to cultural and political pressures than, say, chemistry.\nAnother remarkable phenomenon has been the chutzpah of Reinhardt and Rogoff. In their response yesterday, they wrote that they didn't believe that their mistakes affected in any significant way the \"central message\" of the 2010 paper or their subsequent work. That is an eye-poppingly nervy assertion. You would never know from their response that the supposed 90% tipping point had become central to the public debate, nor that they themselves, in testimony to Congress and in prominent opinion articles, like this one, had claimed that the 90% line was \"an important marker,\" with \"little association\" between debt and growth below 90%. Nor, from their response, would you know that they had continually, in their public statements, implied that it was the debt that was causing the slow growth, rather than the other way around.\nThe other interesting thing about the R&R debate this week has been the amount of attention, discussion, and thoughtful analysis their work has prompted. And it is here that the economics research community has shown itself as vastly superior to the education research community. Thoughtful and fundamental questions had been raised about the Reinhardt/Rogoff paper from the very beginning, with people like Dean Baker and Paul Krugman and many others suggesting that their 90% cut-off was bogus, that the causality was likely reversed (with the slow growth causing the debt, rather than vice versa), and that R&R should release their data set so that other researchers could analyze it. Then this week, once the data was finally made available to the public, other scholars did immediately start to analyze it, with one of them finding that the causality did indeed seem to run the other way, since high debt was correlated more with low growth in prior years than with low growth in succeeding years, and with others noting that the negative relationship between debt and growth was more significant at the low levels of debt (<30%) that R&R had claimed showed \"little association\" than at the >90% levels that R&R had been telling everyone were so dangerous.\nThe level of debate, just over the past couple of days, has been impressive, and puts education debates to shame. For instance, when I looked into vocabulary research last summer, what I found was virtually no scientific debate at all, and an apparently general innumeracy that supported Paul Krugman's contention that advanced mathematics is usually not important; what you need instead is just a level of comfort with numbers and a sense of how they relate to the real world. The same was true when I looked closely at the most prominent statistical study of education research, John Hattie's meta-analysis of education studies; there were significant problems with his analysis that seemed to have been publicly noted, in the years since publication, only by a guy in Norway and by me, a high school English teacher.\nThis is not to say that education research is never thoughtfully debated. When the Chetty, Friedman and Rockoff paper about the long-term effects of \"high-VA\" teachers came out, it was very carefully responded to by Bruce Baker, among others. Overall, however, education research strikes me as basically a backwater, and especially those areas of research that have to do with actual pedagogy. Perhaps this is partly because pedagogy, despite its central importance, seems more obscure to non-teachers than less important but larger-scale issues like school funding and class sizes. These large-scale issues seem more like economics problems, and so tend to be studied, not by Ed. School professors, but by economists. Some of the best work on class sizes was done by Alan Krueger, the chairman of Obama's Council of Economic Advisors, and the study on the long-term effects of \"high-VA\" teachers was done by Raj Chetty, who just won the Clark medal.\nSo, how can Education research get better? I'm not sure. I guess I hope people become more aware that it's lousy and that when scholarship is brought into public debate it is almost inevitably turned into propaganda, even by the scholars themselves. In particular I hope it becomes clear that some of the great received ideas of the ed. world are actually urban legends (vocabulary increases comprehension; schools can overcome poverty; etc.)--but that's another post.\nLabels: Bruce Baker, Economists, Educational Research, John Hattie, Reinhardt and Rogoff\nMary Leonhardt April 20, 2013 at 6:45 PM\nWhat has always bothered me about inservice days and teacher education is that I never went to one where we just sat around and discussed what the current research was on a topic. '\nFor example, for the three day summer inservice on cooperative learning, the Harvard professor who came just kept having us do little cooperative learning exercises. I wanted some thoughtful discussion about the use of it, but no. Just dumb little drills to go through. I finally walked out.\nBut, after reading your comments on ed. research, my guess now is the professor had not ever even considered times when it might or might not be useful. A really depressing thought.\nThanks. A really good column.\nYes--those professional development days can be frustrating. I think the reason is that the ed. research is fairly thin and inconclusive, so that even though the professor probably has thought about the usefulness of cooperative learning, the data is not very conclusive on when or how or how much would be best. In fact, it's almost more honest for them NOT to pretend that what they say is \"data-driven\", since it is rarely good data that's driving anything, but rather the preconceived ideas that are driving the data, as seems to have happened with this economics paper on debt and growth.\nOf course, there is SOME research that strikes me as useful and interesting (like the paper I discussed in \"Research Shows that \"research-based\" pedagogy doesn't work\", or the interesting paper I talked about in \"What Seems Natural, and To Whom, and Why?\")--but you have to always be reading it with a critical eye...",

        "title": "SAVED BY FAITH - Mabelvale Church of Christ",
        "raw_content": "Recently a member from Mabelvale (Sam Rowlett) and I have been studying with some people from Maumelle that I met through Craigslist.\nThey attend a local denominational church that is known for doing really good in our community, but they are lacking in the area of authentic worship in the process of becoming a Christian.\nLast week we progressed in our studies to the point of discussing how we are saved. They believe that we are saved by belief alone, and that it is not necessary to be baptized.\nI thought long and hard about how to approach our study. I re-examined scripture and realized that I have been approaching this discussion in the wrong way.\nNormally, I would avoid the following passage that many \u201cfaith only\u201d people cling to:\n\u201cFor by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.\u201d (Ephesians 2:8-9)\nThis time I decided to let the Bible speak and listen to what Paul was really saying. The only reason it is even possible for us to be right with God\u2014saved from our sins\u2014 is because of the grace of God. Period. There is no way we can \u201cearn\u201d God\u2019s grace. If we try, we will fail.\nPaul continues and tells us that in order to receive God\u2019s grace we must have faith. We are saved BY grace THROUGH faith.\nNow our denominational friends would stop right there. They equate faith with simply having a belief in God and that Jesus is the Son of God. However, the Bible teaches us that faith is not simply a belief. Faith is a belief that leads you to entrust your life to God. The words trust and follow are fundamental to the way the word faith is used in Scripture.\nTherefore, in order to experience the grace of God we must respond to God\u2019s grace through faith. This is where we part ways with our denominational friends. What does is mean to respond through faith?\nFaith Listens\nThe only way faith can be developed and grown is through reading, meditation and internalizing of the Word of God (Romans 10:17; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).\nFaith Believes\nThis may sounds redundant, but faith must believe \u201cthat God is and that he is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him\u201d (Hebrews 11:6). We must believe that Jesus is the Son of God (John 8:24), but this belief must lead to life change through following Jesus daily (Luke 9:23).\nFaith Repents\nYou cannot claim to live for Christ and openly live an un-repented life (Luke 13:3). When we decide to give our life as a living sacrifice to God, there is a transformation that is to take place (Romans 12:1-2). This transformation takes place through God\u2019s power, but we have to be willing to repent and ask for forgiveness (1 John 1:7-9).\nFaith Confesses\nYou cannot claim to have faith if you are ashamed to confess Christ (Romans 1:16-17). Faith is in our heart but a confession of the mouth must take place (Romans 10:9-10).\nFaith Submits in Baptism\nOften people think of Baptism as a work. It is not. It is a response that says to God , \u201cI submit to you in humble faith and commit to follow you all the days of my life.\u201d It is at this point the Bible teaches us that our sins are forgiven and wash away (Acts 2:38). Through baptism (immersion in water) we are buried in the grave with Christ and rise to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:3-4). We cannot be saved without this action of faith (1 Peter 3:21).\nResponding \u201cthrough faith\u201d does not end after baptism. The Christian lives their entire life trusting and living for God. We were created in Christ for \u201cgood works\u201d (Ephesians 2:10) in order to live a beautiful life of faith and trust, as so many have before us.",

        "raw_content": "60 Feet Road, Chhatarpur\n60 Feet Road, Chhatarpur, is a small community located in South-West Delhi District of Delhi/NCR. The place is close to the famous Chhatarpur Temple, which is considered very sacred and draws a huge number of devotees almost around the year.\nThe socio-economic status of people in this community is very low. Most of them are forced migrants from other states, fleeing long-term unemployment or lack of viable livelihoods. Most of them work in the unorganized sector as drivers, petty shopkeepers or iron clothes to make a living.\nGirls in the area are generally not allowed to play in the open. The only time most of them go out is when they travel between school and home.\nGiven the general attitude towards girls, our biggest achievement in this particular area is that there are 11 girls in the group \u2013 and 10 boys.\nThe local community mentor Tayyab Khan, who has been rigorously trained and coached by us in skills including how to work with children and how to conduct sport for development sessions, worked hard to make this happen. \u201cOne of the ways in which we challenged gender stereotypes was by organising football tournaments. Once girls had kicked a football, nothing could stop them from attending our sessions,\u201d he says. The use of sport is a deliberate approach that helps retain interest, convey complex messages such as the importance of formal education, and make sure no participant drops out without gaining the full benefit of the programme.\nMagic Bus uses popular games to break the ice and give participants a first-hand experience of just how different their lives can be. \u201cWe have profiled 19 of the 21 children in the group so that we can actually track their progress,\u201d says Tayyab.\nThe other notable achievement in the area was the development of 2 open spaces as playgrounds for the children. \u201cMagic Bus has a partnership with the government of India\u2019s National Playfields Association,\u201d says Pratik Kumar, Magic Bus\u2019 COO. \u201cIn the larger context, developing local play spaces in slums areas, like the 2 play spaces we have developed in 60 Feet Road, Chhatarpur, contributes towards children\u2019s rights to play, and develop well.\u201d\nMagic Bus continues to work towards increasing the number of children who attend sessions at 60 feet road, Chhatarpur, using a variety of off-the-field activities. \u201cWe have recently held a parent\u2019s meeting,\u201d recalls Tayyab, \u201cAt which we spoke about the possibilities and opportunities that are available in the immediate environment. Such face-to-face discussions help parents to resolve their doubts and answer the question, \u2018What will I or my child gain from participating in the Magic Bus programme?\u2019\nEveryone is unique; and decision making skills are as important as physical strength.\nIt is important to have a balanced diet.\nMagic Bus sessions at 60 Feet Road, Chhatarpur last for 2 hours and are divided into 3 parts:\nMagic Bus' work in this community is made possible with the support of our donor, Ayesha Bhattal\nThank you Ayesha!",

        "raw_content": "Happy Saturday! Before I commit myself to #momlyfe for the weekend, and while I am at my computer awaiting a few documents for a Saturday morning conference call (eee!), I wanted to share a guest post with you.\nFellow working mom Katie McBreen is a long distance friend. We actually have never met IRL, but I used to work with her twin sister so I feel like I know her and we are great insta friends online. Katie lives in Washington DC leading a busy life working as the VP of Communications & Public Affairs for the National Retail Federation and is mom to Kallan who turned one earlier this summer.\nKatie recently published an article for LinkedIn titled 5 Things I learned in My First Year as A Working Mom which she has allowed me to repost here. Hope you enjoy!\n5 THINGS I LEARNED IN MY FIRST YEAR AS WORKING MOM\nMy little girl recently turned one. I aspired to write this by her first birthday, but let\u2019s get real \u2014 when you\u2019re a mom you\u2019ve got to prioritize, and this just didn\u2019t make it to the top of the list. Now I\u2019m finally ready to memorialize the incredible perspective this tiny human has brought to my professional life in just 12 short months (while she naps, of course).\nMATERNITY LEAVE IS GOOD FOR EVERYONE\nI\u2019m lucky to have a happy baby that likes to sleep, which translated into an enjoyable maternity leave. Almost two decades into my career, fast-paced since day one, I didn\u2019t know how much I needed a \u201cbrain break.\u201d The chance to focus on one thing, and one thing only, was incredibly cathartic in many ways.\nThe benefits of my absence also transferred to my work team: My direct reports got the opportunity to work more one-on-one with my boss and take on additional responsibilities that typically fall to me.The benefits of my absence also transferred to my work team: My direct reports got the opportunity to work more one-on-one with my boss and take on additional responsibilities that typically fall to me. My absence also removed a proverbial \u201csafety net,\u201d forcing them to trust their instincts and make decisions when they\u2019d otherwise look to me for counsel. The time off not only refreshed my outlook on work; when I returned, the team was working at an even higher level of efficiency.\nIt\u2019s only normal to adjust your schedule after you have a baby. Not only did I need to because of childcare hours, I also wanted to spend more time with her. It\u2019s common for women to feel like they should explain why they\u2019re leaving early or coming in later than their colleagues \u2014 and it\u2019s ridiculous. If you do your job and do it well, you don\u2019t owe anyone an explanation except your boss. I\u2019ve made a conscious effort to get up and leave when I need to, without any qualifications. It\u2019s harder than you\u2019d think; occasionally I\u2019ll catch myself saying \u201cI came in early\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll get back online after the baby goes to bed.\u201d I\u2019ve never heard my male colleagues do that. I shouldn\u2019t do it either.\nI didn\u2019t know what it was like to be a working mom until I was one. It has provided me with an entirely new level of empathy and perspective that I didn\u2019t have before, making me a better colleague and a better manager. Having people with diverse backgrounds and experiences in organizations \u2014 specifically in leadership positions \u2014 is important for creating a culture of understanding. Be it parenting, dealing with a medical issue or caring for another family member, life isn\u2019t easy; having leadership that is sympathetic of these challenges can go a long way.\nI\u2019m a huge believer in vacation, but have never been one of those people to just take one day off \u2014 saving time for week-long trips has always been my modus operandi. But since having a baby I\u2019ve found great satisfaction in taking just one day off to spend time with her. It also gives me freedom to do those things that are harder to fit in on the weekends. One thing\u2019s for sure, I\u2019m never going to look back on life and wish I\u2019d worked more.\nMOM BRAIN: IT\u2019S REAL\nThe addition of one human to my life seems to have simultaneously removed hundreds, if not thousands, of brain cells from my head. Paired with the fact that having a child has brought a lot more stuff to think about, worry about and plan for, it means I must be even more organized at work \u2014 something I didn\u2019t think possible. More than ever, I live and die by my Outlook calendar, using it for both personal and professional appointments. A notebook and to-do list are my constant companion, and the Wunderlist app is a must-have for sharing personal lists with my husband.\nBeing a mom, whether you work outside the home or not, is challenging in the most mind-altering and joy-filled way, and I\u2019ve learned a lot in this first year. The arrival of our child has given me unparalleled clarity about what\u2019s important in life and has made me not just a better mom, but a better manager and colleague as well.\nThank you for letting me share Katie. And contrary to popular belief, I for one done actually believe in 'mom brain'. But that's coming from a person who has been disorganized and her whole life!\nlydia lauer August 12, 2017 working mom, working woman, career woman, motherhood, work life balance, careerComment\nlydia lauer July 28, 2017 family, family planning, parenthood, motherhood, family life, children, pregnancy, one and done, only child",

        "title": "How to avoid giving bad performance reviews | Manager by Design",
        "raw_content": "Here are some tips for managers on how to avoid the tense and toxic review:\nDON\u2019T wait until the annual review to tell the employee how you think that the employee is doing. If you\u2019re doing this, then you are dooming yourself to some pretty awkward and costly moments during the review discussion.\nDO provide performance feedback to the employee throughout the year. This means that you need to have discussions throughout the year with the employee before the annual review about what you think the employee is doing well, and what you would like the employee to do differently. This provides the \u201cview.\u201d\nDO follow up during the year on whether behaviors you have provided feedback on have improved, stayed the same, or gotten worse. Let\u2019s say you ask your employee Jim to be more succinct when presenting to the VP. Then, without directly following up with Jim, you write on the review: \u201cI asked Jim to be more succinct when speaking to the VP, but he still always went over his allotted time.\u201d That\u2019s a mistake. You have to tell Jim that he still isn\u2019t being succinct enough prior to the review. And to him directly (not over email). This goes for good behaviors too. If your employee improves or is already strong, you have to provide this information prior to the review.\nDO mention the things you have provided performance feedback about on the review. This way, when you do the review, it is consistent with what was already discussed, meeting the standard of being a re-view.\nDON\u2019T write about something on the review that you have never talked about prior to the annual review process. If you have never discussed something with the employee, then it really didn\u2019t exist as something related to the employee\u2019s annual performance, and doesn\u2019t merit mention on the review.\nDON\u2019T write about employee behaviors you haven\u2019t provided your interpretation of. If you have never provided your interpretation as to whether the employee\u2019s behaviors help or hurt, then you shouldn\u2019t mention this on the review. Here\u2019s an example: Your employee Jim may submit a lengthy daily status report, and you find it annoying that it comes this frequently. However, you talk about what\u2019s on the status report all the time, perhaps even saying \u201cThank you for the status report\u201d on occasion. At the end of the year, you say on the review, \u201cJim can improve with his status reports. They should come in only once a week.\u201d This will freak out Jim. Don\u2019t do it. It isn\u2019t worth it.\nDO say when providing feedback, \u201cThis is something we\u2019ll keep checking in on, as it is important to your performance.\u201d This makes it clear that this is something that will likely be mentioned on the review, the employee will actually expect to see it on the review\u2014even if ultimately the assessment is that the employee didn\u2019t meet performance expectations.\nDO make sure that the things you are providing performance feedback and checking in on are actually important to the performance of the employee. The time of day the employee takes lunch may not be that big a deal. Whether or not the employee completes deliverables is a big deal. Focus on things that matter.\nI\u2019ll repeat tips two and three: DO provide performance feedback, both positive and \u201cneeds improvement\u201d, throughout the year. Of course, if the employee is doing only good work, focus on the positive and don\u2019t search for negatives. And check in as to whether the behaviors have changed prior to the review. If the employee actually does improve in the behaviors you\u2019ve provided feedback on, then you should mention this on the review!\nHave you ever received or given a review where the manager\u2019s and employee\u2019s experience didn\u2019t match? What were your options at that point? Have you ever received or given a review with content that was never discussed verbally? How much do you provide performance feedback on an ongoing basis? What are your tips for neutralizing the toxic annual review?\n3 Responses to \u201cHow to neutralize in advance the annual toxic performance review\u201d\nWhy So Many Annual Reviews Go Bad | Manager by Design says:\n[\u2026] my next post, I\u2019ll be providing tips on how to avoid the annual toxic performance review, and turn it into the [\u2026]\nExamples of things to look for in a well-done annual review | Manager by Design says:\n[\u2026] either the manager or the employee reference in the review actual feedback conversations (or what I also refer to as \u201cemployee strategy sessions\u201d) that happened external to the review [\u2026]\n[\u2026] How to neutralize in advance the annual toxic performance review [\u2026]",

        "title": "The classification of GERD severity of the disease",
        "raw_content": "Classification of GERD\nIn therapy, a lot depends on the stages of the disease. This information affects the duration of treatment and the choice of certain drugs. In the case of the GERD in the first place matter how deeply affected esophageal mucosa. In medicine most used classification of gastroesophageal reflux disease which can be detected by this method of study as EGD (fibrogastroduodenoscopy).\nWhat are the symptoms will bother humans at every stage of the disease? Now have to respond not only to this question. There are several classifications of GERD, consider the most common of them.\nClassification of GERD was done according to ICD-10\nThe simplest classification is spelled out in one of the classic medical books called ICD-10 (international classification of diseases, tenth revision). Here is a clinical variant of division of GERD following.\nGERD with esophagitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the esophagus) \u2014 code according to ICD-10: K-21,0.\nGERD without signs of esophagitis \u2014 code according to ICD-10: K and 21.9.\nEndoscopic classification of GERD\nThe endoscopic classification was proposed in the late 80-ies of Savary and Miller, and is widely used nowadays.\nIt has long been known that the mechanism of development GERD is a dysfunction of nippising sphincter (the muscle located on the border between the esophagus and the stomach, limiting the reverse movement of food). When this muscle is weakened, there is a reflux of gastric contents, including hydrochloric acid, into the esophagus. And over time, almost all of his sheath undergo changes. So they formed the basis for this classification.\nlesions of the esophagus\nIn detail it can be summarized as follows.\nThe first stage. Last esophagus, the one that is closer to the stomach, there are areas of erythema (redness of the mucosa due to capillary dilation), the possible erosion of individual (place of the mucous membrane with defects in the tissue). In some advanced cases of the disease, such changes may not be, and the diagnosis is based either on symptoms or when no other methods of study.\nIn the second stage endoscopic classification of GERD erosion already takes about 20 % of the circumference of the esophagus. Under these lesions on the first place among the manifestations of the disease beyond heartburn.\nThe third stage of the disease process is characterized by lesions not only the mucous layer of the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter in the form of erosions. Here already there are ulcers that affect the muscle layer of the body. Such alterations occupy more than half the circumference of the esophagus. Person, while concerned about the burning sensation, chest pain, night symptoms overlap.\nIn the presence of the fourth stage of the disease, thanks to EGD, you can see that the entire mucosa is damaged, the defects occupy almost 100% of the circumference of the esophagus. Clinically, at this stage of lesion, the person may experience the symptoms characteristic of this disease.\nThe last of the fifth and the most unfavorable is the stage of development of complications. Revealed narrowing and shortening of the esophagus, deep, bleeding ulcer, Barrett\u2019s esophagus (replacement of parts of the mucous membrane of the intestinal epithelium division).\nSome authors of the last two stages combined into one.\nIn my practice, gastroenterologists often use the endoscopic classification to define the stages in the development of GERD. Her more often resorted therapists, considering it more simple to understand and comprehensive. But this is not the only division of GERD.\nThe Los Angeles classification of GERD\nAt the end of the 20th century at the European week of gastroenterology suggested to use the degree of prevalence of lesions. So there was the Los Angeles classification of GERD. Here\u2019s what it involves.\nThe severity of A \u2014 a one or more mucosal lesions of the esophagus (erosions or ulcers), each of which not more than 5 mm within only one of the folds of the mucous membrane.\nDegree B \u2014 the changes apply too, just one fold, but one of the lesions can extend beyond 5 mm.\nDegree C \u2014 the process has already been spread to 2 folds or more, regions with changes of more than 5 mm. At this stage the lesions of the esophagus reaches 75%.\nThe degree D is a big part of the esophagus affected. Around the circumference of the lesion be at least 75%.\nAccording to the Los Angeles classification complications such as ulcers and constrictions may be present on any of the above stages.\nUnits at the stage of development of the disease was created to simplify the work of doctors. Through the classifications, it becomes easier to understand the manifestation process and to find better methods of treatment. To establish at what stage of the disease is a every people suffering from GERD, can be a doctor. Therefore, at the first sign of illness, speed recovery, contact the experts.\nSeverity of anemia classification (1, 2, 3 degree)",

        "raw_content": "Skin sensor depression test tested\nA state-run research institute claimed it has developed sensor technology that can effectively determine whether a test subject is depressed.\nThe Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced Tuesday that it was able to identify depression by using sensors to measure electrodermal activity, or changes in the skin\u2019s electric properties.\nThe team undertook the study to offer a physiology-based alternative to current methods of diagnosis. Previous clinical research by other scientists has also found that electrodermal activity can be used as a biomarker for depression.\nTogether with Samsung Medical Center mental health experts, the ETRI team tested the sensor on around 60 patients and control subjects and was able to correctly determine which individuals suffer depression.\nThe research team emphasized that advanced diagnosis would require the analysis of brain waves, temperature and breathing. Further improvements in sensor technology, however, would help in the diagnosis of other mental health problems, like anxiety disorders and ADHD.\nOne of ETRI\u2019s goals is to apply its sensor technology to wearables.\nIf the sensors are embedded into wearables, \u201cindividuals will be able to identify their conditions early on, and even report them to guardians and hospitals automatically,\u201d read the ETRI\u2019s report.\nWhile the sensors are advanced enough to be commercialized today, according to ETRI, further steps need to be taken to scale them down from their current size to be practical.\nThe research team has been studying sensors to monitor mental illnesses and make predictions since 2015 as a part of a government initiative.\nRegarding the most recent finding, Kim Seung-hwan, one of the researchers, said \u201cwe saw the possibility of developing a diagnosis and prediction system for psychiatric disorders based on physiological signals.\u201d\nThe team\u2019s findings are available in online journal Scientific Reports under the title \u201cAutomatic detection of major depressive disorder using electrodermal activity.\u201d",

        "title": "HISTORY OF ATHEIST PHILOSOPHY IN ANCIENT INDIA \u2013 Modernrationalist",
        "raw_content": "HISTORY OF ATHEIST PHILOSOPHY IN ANCIENT INDIA\nIn ancient period the reasoning faculty was bound by limitations of inability of humans to find answers to every question that arose in the mind. As an outlet to that questioning urge, humans designed god and tried to limit the reasoning with an alternative faith. As per the adage, \u201cIgnorance is Bliss\u201d, restricting the reasoning exercise and relying on faith gave some solace to humans, despite their being deceptive and self deceitful. Instead of god creating humans, it is the humans who designed gods in tune with the level of their limitations as per the culture and environment they were living in.\nLater, humans surrendered to their designed gods and that became the essence of religion. Theist of one religion was described atheist in other religions. Religious clashes became routine, and it still continues on the premise of one religion being superior to another. The harmony of the society gets affected at large. The mindset of humans revolves around god and religion blocking the progress and the pace of development of humanity.\nLet us discuss a few atheists, their school of thought and their organisational functioning, prevailing then.\nNASTIKA, \u2018denier\u2019, or one who says, \u2018There is not\u2019, is the name applied to a number of unorthodox sects contemporary with the most ancient Hindu Philosophies. Some authorities derive nastika theories from the people of ancient Mesopotamia, but it is clear that they had a strong indigenous background. The nastikas denied the existence of God, the validity of the Vedas, the possility of an afterlife, and were so named in opposition to the orthodox astika, \u2018asserters\u2019, thinkers who believed in the ultimate realities such as God, the soul, a future life and, above all, the Vedas.\nThere were different forms of godlessness which had a strong following throughout Indian history including ancient history as they do today.\nThe \u2018Lokayata\u2019 philosophy of scepticism and materialism flourished from the first millenium BCE, even in Buddha\u2019s own time. It was some two and a half millennia ago. There are some evidence of its influence in the upanisads. Atheism and materialism continued to attract adherents and advocates over many centuries. They were increasingly associated with the exposition of intellectually combative Charvaka.\nIn philosophical discourses throughout Indian history, atheist and sceptics make frequent appearances, even though, in many cases, their points of view are ultimately rejected and they do get their say.\nCharvaka was the greatest of the nastika or materialist philosophers of India. He was one of the greatest skeptics in the history of philosophy. Doctrines representing the eternity of materialism and Pyrrhonism form the tenets of the Charvaka school. The Charvaka school of thoughts rejects in its entirety the concept of spiritual universe, believing that the whole world process, including thought itself, is the result of the activity of the matter.\nThe ultimate principles are earth, water, fire and air (the fifth principle of Hindu philosophy, ether is rejected) from the fortuitous combination of these elements the world has been spontaneously formed. The combining of these four elements has produced the external world, the physical organisms, the sense organs and intelligence. Both life and consciousness originate in matter. All knowledge comes through sense perception and what is not so perceived and experienced is false and non-existent. Consciousness is a function of the body, a by-product of the four non-conscious elements, just as intoxicating liquor results from the fermentation of non-intoxicating rice and molasses. All activity results from the inherent tendency in things to respond to external stimuli, just as certain flowers open in the day and close at night, and others turn their faces towards the sun.\nThe Charvaka school rejected the idea of God and regarded religion as an aberration and a disease. There is no retribution, no reward or punishment, no heaven and ho hell. There is no soul and no other world and the doctrines of transmigration and sacrifice are only suited to the intelligence of fools.\nThe Charvaka school rejected the idea of God and regarded religion as an aberration and a disease. There is no retribution, no reward or punishment, no heaven and no hell. There is no soul and no other world and the doctrines of transmigration and sacrifice are only suited to the intelligence of fools.\nCharvakas, adherents of Charvaka school reserve their special scorn for the Vedas, the priests and religious ceremonial. The Vedas are the crazy rhapsodies of knaves and black-guards, are ridden with falsehood, self-contradiction and tautology and no sensible person with the brains of a blind buffalo could possibly accept them as inspired.\nBrihaspati (?500 BCE \u2013 CE 500?): he is one of the foremost early nastika philosophers. His nihilistic Sutras have perished, but scholars like Adi Sankara and Madhva refer to him and quote brief lines in which Brihaspati condemned religion and the priests. He decried the study of the Vedas, denouncing their authors as buffoons and rogues. Vedic ritual, he said, merely yielded a means of livelihood to the priests.\nHe denied the existence of heaven and hell and of the soul, declaring that these infantile notions, fit only for mothers to soothe or frighten little children with, were exploited by the priests as a means of keeping the superstitious laity in subjection. These \u2018soft-belied and slothful\u2019 prelates were men devoid of intellect and manliness and loved nothing more than to reap the rewards of the labours of others and to receive humble obeisance of their deluded followers.\nHis doctrine was named after him the Brahaspatya, and Brahmin pundits naively asserted that it was expressly formulated in order to weaken the power of the asuras. As a result of following this teaching, they said, the asuras became enemies of the priests, gave up their duties, neglected the dharma, despised the Vedas, became weak and ineffective and were easily defeated by Indra.\nAsuras:Asuras an Andrya (non-Aryan) people of ancient India. In the later portions of the Rig- Veda and in the frequently anti-Aryan, Atharva-veda, it acquired a directly opposite meaning, and came to connote, as it has done ever since, a titan, a demon, an enemy of the gods, with whose sacrifices he was constantly interfering.\nSeveral theories have been put forward to account for the name \u2018Asura\u2019. Some say it comes from Ashur, the Assyrian god and the derogatory connotation derives from the fact that the Assyrians were enemies of the Aryans before they latter migrated to India. Others suggest that the Aryans who were hard drinkers of the liquor called sura, referred to the abstemiens Anarya people a-sura. The word also represents the negative form of \u2018sura\u2019, a term applied to the inferior deities who inhabit svarga or paradise. Hence, asura would mean no-god or godless person.\nHindu mythology is filled with legends of asuras and their ceaseless struggle with the gods. They were opposed in Vedic times by Indra,and in the epic period by Rama and Krishna.\nBuddhism:There is nothing in the life of Buddha(?568BCE \u2013 483?) to indicate that he set out to reform \u2018Hinduism\u2019, but some of the doctrines promulgated by him were contrary to many basic Hindu beliefs. Buddha was strongly opposed to religious rituals, to ceremonial worship and the sacrificial system and condemned the whole idea of caste system as false and wrong; and in this sense Buddhism may be regarded as a reaction against the pretentions of brahminism and the authority of the Vedas.\nScholars prefer to call early Buddhism a system of morality or ethics rather than a religion. Primarily it is concerned with moral precepts by which it urges men to live, and cares little for the soul or man\u2019s relationship with God. Buddha\u2019s teachings are sometimes agnostic and often frankly atheistic. His moral code does not rest upon divine sanctions and he has nothing to say about heaven and hell. He was keenly aware of the shallowness of intellectualism and verbal \u2018profundity\u2019, of the immense stupidity of the clever, and often warned his disciples against \u2018the thickets of theorizing, the wilderness of theorizing, the tangle, bondage and shackles of theorizing.\nAnother cardinal teaching of Buddha was his doctrine concerning atman, the soul or ego. Buddha taught that the soul does not exist. In other words he postulated for man a condition of anatman, or non-soulness. What is called soul is in reality a physical and mental aggregate of five evanescent or impermanent conditions viz. form or the physical body, feelings, idea or understanding, will and pure conscience or reason.\nFrom Buddhism, Hindu Philosophy acquired a precise system of logical equity and intellectual analysis, and it was largely as a result of the stimulus given by Buddhist teaching that the Brahmins were able to strengthen their Vedas, vulgarized their caste monopolies, and branded them as quacks and charlatans. But the Buddhist advances were not only a challenge to the Brahmins for clearing away their intellectual cob-webs, they also provided many an example for the reformation of their own religious ideals. Says Sarkar, \u2018The so-called high Hindu tenets ethics and personal morality is very largely a Buddhist achievement; a lasting reform and refinement inherited by later forms of brahminism.\u2019\nAtheistic thoughts that emerged in the minds of humans later got developed as science and technology as a spirit of free enquiry.\nPeriyar E.V.Ramasamy (1879-1973) became an atheist by starting social fight against human discrimination in the society with the objective of equality of humans, leading to ultimately the establishment of egalitarian society. He found \u2018god\u2019 as the main hurdle and stumbling block and for that he commenced the valiant fight against \u2018god\u2019 through the following propaganda proclamation.\nNowhere is God\nOne who invented god is a fool,\nOne who propagates god is a scoundrel,\nOne who worships god is a barbarian.\u201d\nSuch straight forward ruthless propaganda advocacy of Periyar is unique among the fraternity of atheist propagandists.\nWhen his ruthless propaganda denying god was put before him for its severity with an appeal for mellowed propaganda, Periyar said,\n\u201cBelief in god is time-immemorial causing severe disease in the society. The disease cannot be considered as a mere wound for which application of ointment or some medicine would be sufficient. Belief in god is a deep-rooted disease in the minds of humans. So, it has to be operated on through surgical methods. Such harsh and ruthless propaganda is akin to surgery to cure the social disease and it is a must. Then only people who believe in god would at least start thinking over, the result of the surgical treatment would be positive for the betterment of individuals and the society wherein they live.\u201d\nPeriyar\u2019s propaganda does not restrict against the non-existing god alone but exhorts humans thus: \u201cForget God; Think of Humans\u201d. That is the constructive aspect of the rationalist philosophy of Periyar. It is not mere denial of god but emphasis on upholding of humanism among humans.\nRational thinking, where we analyse every aspect connected with god and faith in him, will lead us to the inevitable conclusion that god and faith bring nothing but downfall in the life of man and make him a victim of priestcraft. Let us, therefore, once for all get rid of what is called religion and march in the path of rationality which will inevitably lead us to happiness. The future is ours.\nLet humanity flourish and prosper through adhering the philosophy of Atheism!\nNo Responses to \u201cHISTORY OF ATHEIST PHILOSOPHY IN ANCIENT INDIA\u201d",

        "title": "Anyone Want to Split $35M With Me? Dreaming of Winning the Lotto - Money Propeller",
        "raw_content": "On the drive home the other day, we got to talking about an unclaimed $35 million lottery ticket in Ontario. After a discussion about people doing crazy things to get a divorce after learning they won the lottery, we moved on to the natural topics of \u201cwhat would I do\u201d and \u201cretirement.\u201d\nWe settled on a scenario of ten people splitting the ticket, so $3.5M each.\nAn important note here is that lottery earnings are not taxable in Canada.\nSo you\u2019ve got $3.5 million. The next question is \u201cis it enough?\u201d\nEnough for what? To resign and be \u201cretired.\u201d\nIt turns out that many people had never heard of the 4% withdrawal rule, which only slightly surprised me. By no means a hard and fast, nor guaranteed, rule, the 4% withdrawal rule is a rule of thumb that says you can \u201csafely\u201d withdraw 4% of the value of your portfolio each year, without running the risk of depleting the capital.\nThus, with an investment portfolio of $3.5 million, 4% per year gives you $140,000 in gross income. Even better? Investments are preferentially taxed versus employment income.\nIs that enough for you? Would it be more complicated than a simple yes/no?\nI think that I would fall into the \u201cmore complicated\u201d category. You see, all of us in this group of coworkers earn quite high incomes. With $140,000 rolling in, all on its own, we could bank our entire salaries, growing the nest egg even further.\nPlus, regular income continues to generate tax-advantaged savings vehicles, like RRSPs, though their value would be greatly diminished if a portfolio was generating that kind of revenue. It would be best to have some sort of tax professional or at the very least, a tax calculator, to help crunch numbers. However, if you weren\u2019t withdrawing from your portfolio at that rate, it may still be useful to create that tax advantaged space.\nFor argument\u2019s sake, say you were bringing in 100,000 from a day job. I\u2019ll assume a 35% effective tax rate, so you\u2019re able to add another $65,000 to your nest egg each year you continue working (ignoring RRSPs etc.). A 4% withdrawal rate means that for each additional year you work, you can increase your post-\u201cretirement\u201d income by $2600. That is all assuming that you invest your entire salary and live off of the portfolio in the meantime.\nAnother way to approach it would be to live off of your day job and assume an 8% growth rate of your portfolio, followed by a 4% withdrawal rate from the point at which you retire. Going one year increases the value of your $3.5M by $280,000. At a 4% withdrawal, that means an additional $11,200 for each year your portfolio sits and grows.\nDo You Keep Working?\nFast forward five years, and your portfolio is now worth $5M. If you switch to a 4% withdrawal rate at that point in time, you are looking at a gross income of $205,706, or $65,705 more.\nNaturally, this argument can be made at length, at any level of income, but it will all come down to preferences.\nJust to make sure that we cover all of the basis, if you take your windfall and pay off a bunch of debt, or worse, spend the principle, it will reduce your 4% withdrawal income. Let\u2019s assume you have $250,000 on a mortgage and buy a modest new car at $30,000 (I\u2019m in Canada, don\u2019t forget.) That decision has reduced your income by $11,200 per year. (In magical news, this scenario is exactly equal to delaying your decision to quit your job by one year.)\nThat amount may in fact be less than you were paying for your mortgage and a potential car payment, so perhaps it is worth it to you? However, you can see that reducing your portfolio has a negative effect on future earnings. If you paid down that debt, then worked for five years like in the last thought, the end result would only be $175,231, which is $30,475 less than the straight \u201cwork for five years\u201d scenario. Ten years later, you will have had $304,476 fewer dollars to spend.\nIt may make sense to pay down debt, but if you spend your lotto winnings up front, it can be extremely costly over time.\nIs It Enough for Me?\nWould winning $3.5M be sufficient for me to quit my day job?\nThe answer to that is, \u201cprobably.\u201d I am looking to become financially independent as soon as possible. It would probably take us at least a year to figure out a portfolio allocation with which we were happy, and to figure out a lifestyle plan that allowed us to enjoy life without depleting the nest egg. Our magic number to retire is higher than a $3.5M portfolio, so we would want to ensure we were setting ourselves up to achieve all of our goals.\nOur early retirement vision includes the ability to take shorter term work contracts to keep ourselves challenged and to supplement our incomes periodically. If I won the lottery, I might seriously consider a PhD again, for example, or perhaps another master\u2019s degree in a related but slightly different field.\nHave you considered your target portfolio size to retire before? I bet you have considered winning the lottery before! What kind of scenarios do you envision if you win?\nLater the discussion on the commute home moved on to teeth knocked out, but I\u2019ll spare you the details on that one. Hockey has some downsides, what can I say.\nIt would be enough for me to quit my day job. It is not my number per say, but if I got it today it would put me about 12 years ahead of schedule on my march to $10M.\nNow don\u2019t be mistaken, I don\u2019t need $10M, but that is the number I am chasing.\n$3.5M would be enough for me to leave my day job and spend the rest of my life making it my JOB to live life by design. However, I would probably stick around for a year or longer until I was sure I could hit my $10M goal.\nI would OBVIOUSLY quit my job! But I don\u2019t think I\u2019d quit \u201cworking\u201d \u2013 I\u2019d just work for myself \u2013 maybe start a blog like this and hire my online friends as writers \ud83d\ude42\nI\u2019d then pay off my student loan (which wouldn\u2019t seem so bad next to $3.5 million!) and then \u2013 I don\u2019t know! I\u2019d say get a house but I\u2019m not sure we\u2019d stay in this city. I suppose I\u2019d have to hire a professional to help me set up a portfolio, because up until reading this post my answer would be \u201cput it in the bank!\u201d and I thought that was it.\n\ud83d\ude42 That sounds like an awesome plan. We can all dream, right?\nIs the money taxed before you put it into a retirement fund? I really don\u2019t know. If so, then no, it\u2019s not enough. If not, then it would be enough, but like so many others I\u2019d probably work at things I wanted to to build things like college savings for the kiddos.\nfemmefrugality recently posted\u2026JORD Wood Watch #Giveaway\nAaaand you already answered that. I want to win the Canadian lotto lol.\nRebecca@TheFamilyFinder.Net says\nIt would be enough for my hubs to retire. Knowing him he would pursue one of his multiple hobbies and turn it into an income. So I guess \u201cretire\u201d is quoted to mean stop working for the man and work for ourselves! I currently stay home and it would reduce the possibility of having to go back to work someday.\nRebecca@TheFamilyFinder.Net recently posted\u2026Simple Shopping Strategies that Saved Us $12,000 A Year \u2013 Check Your Calendar\nHaving hobbies that can be converted to income is pretty darn sweet! Other than blogging, I don\u2019t think I can say any of mine have income potential, more like major non-income potential!\nEveryone should have their number in their hip pocket. How do you make decisions with your money if you don\u2019t know what the trade offs are?\nElroy recently posted\u2026Do you need to \u201clock in\u201d life insurance rates now?\n$3.5m would be a sweet amount of money. I think it would be enough to help the family out financially by ensuring they were mortgage and debt free and topping up their retirement accounts. I\u2019d probably have $2.5m left which would be enough to buy a house, set up an investment portfolio and possibly retire although I can\u2019t see myself not working. Having that sort of money would allow me to follow my passion rather than go to work for the income.\nKasia recently posted\u2026How much do you spend each month?\nI\u2019ll definitely split it with you! If I won the lottery, I\u2019d probably be a perpetual student. And I think I\u2019d buy some little properties in places I like to travel to, set them up as rentals, and do my best with the passive income \ud83d\ude42 Heck, the day I finish paying off my debt, I\u2019ll probably be as happy as if I\u2019d won the lottery. Who knows what I\u2019ll do then! Hahaha\nChela @SmashOdyssey recently posted\u2026Family Lessons: Aunt B\n$3.5m? Definitely enough for me to retire. More than enough!\nWithout debts and with a decent income, I\u2019d have the freedom to choose how I spent my day. I might still have income generating hobbies but I wouldn\u2019t work, per se. I have simple needs and the heavy lifting side of parenting is basically over so as long as I can buy what I want from the bookstore, I\u2019d be happy!\ndiane @smartmoneysimplelife recently posted\u2026Apple Pie and Birthday Candles\nI\u2019m with Shannon on this one. It would be enough for me, but then I could freaking relax as a freelancer a bit and work on projects that were more meaningful, not the ones I had to take to pay the rent.\nTonya@Budget and the Beach recently posted\u2026My Typical Daily Routine\nI think that $3.5 would be enough for me; however, I wouldn\u2019t stop working. I love work and the money would just make my work more of a benefit for me rather than a need to support my family.\nShannon @ Financially Blonde recently posted\u2026Music Mondays \u2013 I Smile\nIf I won that much money I would pay the taxes (say $1.5M), set up a charitable trust ($1M), and keep the last $1M for my house/bank account/retirement fund. It wouldn\u2019t be enough for me to fully retire, I don\u2019t think, but it\u2019ll put me ahead by ten years or so.\nTaylor Lee @ Engineer Cents recently posted\u2026Remember: The Joneses Aren\u2019t People, They\u2019re Composites\nIt probably might not be enough to fund my retirement all through out..But it would make me live a life that\u2019s more relaxed and not working on some side hustles one after the other. And I can probably take my dream Euro trip!\nThe Money Spot recently posted\u2026How To Improve Your Investing Experience And Returns!",

        "raw_content": "Naturally it takes several films of a director's filmography to get interested in their work. There are also those very few times where I get hooked on a director before meeting the requirement of watching five films.\nPedro Almodovar is one of those few exceptions. I was transfixed by Talk to Her, absolutely won over by All About My Mother and enchanted by Broken Embraces. I pretty much knew I had a new director to watch.\nSeeing Volver pretty much sealed the deal. Like All About My Mother, the film revolves around a small group of women. The way some of the characters' lives are written, they sound like they're straight out of a cheesy melodrama. But Almodovar knows how not to steep to that level.\nPenelope Cruz, who is dubbed Almodovar's muse, is great here. In films like Vicky Cristina Barcelona, she's viewed as a Spanish sexpot. In the films she does for Almodovar, she shows her abilities as an actress. And boy, does she nail her role in Volver.\nVolver is a wonderfully written drama that you don't find often enough. (Thank you, God, for creating Almodovar.) The main actresses, Cruz especially, make these roles their own. And Pedro? You have a new admirer of your work.\nThe most famous director of Japanese cinema is Akira Kurosawa. I partly agree with that because Kurosawa is the one Japanese director I'm most familiar with, but this statement could also prevent people from seeing the work of other Japanese directors.\nAnother great but underappreciated name of Japanese cinema is Yasujiro Ozu. From what I read about him, he was a poet with his films. Being the curious cinephile that I am, I decided to check out one of his films.\nThe film I checked out was Late Spring. Although not as well known as his magnum opus Tokyo Story, this film is a quiet piece of art. Just watching it made me realize Ozu's status among film devotees.\nThe story of a father trying to marry off his daughter sounds simple in concept but is grand in execution. The reason? Along with Ozu's direction, it's Yaharu Atsuta's cinematography and Senji Ito's music that make the film come alive. (Boy, what is it about foreign films with great cinematography and music?)\nLate Spring is one of the more beautiful post-war films. Ozu really knew how to make a film. Expect to see more musings of his films in the future because I think I found a new director to watch.\nThis is just an odd habit of mine. If there's a prominent director whose work I haven't seen yet, I will find a notable film of theirs and watch it. (This is why I never feel embarrassed when talking about directors.)\nOne of my latest conquests was Luis Bunuel. I heard of a lot of his films, but had never really set out to see any of them. (I was more or less acquainted with Bunuel from his \"appearance\" in Midnight in Paris.) I knew I had to see a film of his sooner or later, so I did that.\nThe film in question is Belle de Jour starring Catherine Deneuve in what many call her best work as an actress. And it's also a doozy of a film. (What else do you expect when the film opens with the leading lady fantasizing about being beaten and raped?)\nDeneuve is a marvel to watch. Like her work in Repulsion, her character's face remains blank throughout regardless of what is said to her. It just leaves you wondering what exactly is running through that mind of hers.\nBelle de Jour possesses both class and surrealism, which from what I heard is Bunuel's filmography in a nutshell. Deneuve is alluring both looks-wise and acting-wise. I see why this is an essential among art lovers.\nWhen an actor performs their swan song, it's usually rare for it to match that of their more famous work. When it does, it's practically a miracle.\nOne example is Ingrid Bergman in Ingmar Bergman's Autumn Sonata. Two of Sweden's finest contributions to the world of film working together. And boy, what they do together sure is mesmerizing.\nAutumn Sonata also stars Liv Ullmann, a regular of Ingmar's. She was thoroughly impressive with her almost mute performance in Persona. Here in Autumn Sonata, she speaks of her emotional pain through her words and face. It's a great performance from Ullmann, though I'm more fond of her work in Persona.\nThe fact Ingrid still looks gorgeous in her later years is a crime in itself. Throw in the fact she's still giving great performances towards the end of her life, and you know why she's ranked among the greats of the silver screen. Here, she doesn't express her regrets of her past, but you can definitely tell she can feel it.\nAutumn Sonata is very hypnotizing in its subject matter. Most films about the same matter tend to sugarcoat everything. Like Ingmar is interested in that. Definitely one of the best titles from the 1970s.\nFilm noirs from the 1950s pretty much broke all of the ethical rules. Why not since everyone was so paranoid about communism and nuclear warfare? Might as well let Hollywood go a little crazy too.\nRobert Aldrich's Kiss Me Deadly is one such film noir. Based on the novel by Mickey Spillane, this has more pulp than an orange. And it's sleazier than anything else the decade had to offer. (Yes, even more than Ace in the Hole and Sweet Smell of Success.)\nMany of the sci-fi titles of the 1950s were thinly disguised movies about the Cold War. Kiss Me Deadly also provides that commentary. Aldrich sensationalizes it to the nth degree, and it just works.\nIs Kiss Me Deadly an exploitation film? Not really, though it could be viewed as one under certain circumstances. After all, there are no definitive heroes in this, and the villains are just as bad as the \"hero\" morally.\nKiss Me Deadly is quite good, though it gets to be a bit much after a short while. Bear in mind this was made in a period of Hollywood where happy endings were always expected regardless of what happened in the film. Does Kiss Me Deadly have one? I won't say that, but I will say it's a real doozy of an ending.\nMarilyn Monroe is always regarded as the sex symbol. But like many stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, her real image was very unlike her screen image.\nIn many of her films, she tended to play the ditsy blonde as shown in How to Marry a Millionaire and All About Eve. But a number of her later films like Some Like It Hot and The Misfits showed Monroe as a vulnerable woman, which was what she was. It was when she did the latter role that got people talking.\nMonroe's work in Joshua Logan's Bus Stop falls into the latter category as well. After all, when we first see Cherie, she's being manhandled by a number of ogling men. It's not the first time it has happened to her and after meeting Bo (Don Murray), it won't be the last time either.\nCherie is similar to Sugar Kane. Sugar has a bad history with a number of men. Cherie only had a few sloppy affairs, but it's who she had them with that makes them stand out. Bo is like one of her many botched flings. Sounds like heaven, but it's actually hell. (Also, the moment when Cherie speaks of what she looks for in a man wasn't Cherie speaking. It was Marilyn.)\nBus Stop in toll is pretty good. You really feel for Cherie once we see her and you don't stop. The ending kind of spoils the mood of the rest of the film, but Monroe stays vibrant throughout. You have to admire an actress like Marilyn Monroe.\nMany people are aware of Alfred Hitchcock being nominated five Oscars and losing each time. What some people probably don't know is that one of his films won the Oscar for Best Picture.\nThe film in question is Rebecca, which got Hitchcock a Best Director nomination. (The other four in question are Lifeboat, Spellbound, Rear Window and Psycho.) This one is different from some of Hitchcock's later titles because doesn't rely on suspense; it relies on a looming presence.\nThe looming presence is that of Rebecca de Winter. Her widower Maxim (Laurence Olivier) is haunted by her death, as well as her maid Mrs. Danvers (Judith Anderson). Maxim's second wife (Joan Fontaine) sees what impact Rebecca left behind.\nThe performances from the three principal actors are fantastic. Olivier just radiates a mysterious allure in Maxim. Fontaine gets the mousy behavior of her character just right. But Anderson is the scene stealer of Rebecca. Her stoic face and dead gaze emulates creepiness. She makes Norman Bates look normal in regards with obsession.\nOh, Rebecca just screams \"directed by Alfred Hitchcock\". (That's a good thing, of course.) Subtext galore and good-looking actors that are sharply dressed? Yep, Hitchcock. Also, this is probably one of the few times AMPAS got it right for Best Picture. (Just saying.)\nThe Great Re-Casting\nAllow me to explain. Rianna and Natalie are hosting a blogathon where the goal is to re-cast a film made between 1965 and today with actors from before 1965. Of course for me, it was a little hard to think of a good film to re-cast since many of my favorites are pre-1965. But I thought hard, and the film I came up with was Anthony Minghella's The Talented Mr. Ripley.\nThe film's set in the 1950's, so I'll feature actors from that time period. Oh, this should be so easy since many of my favorite actors made it big during that decade. Anyway, here goes nothing.\nPeter Smith-Kingsley\nA friend of Marge's who develops a sort of kinship with Tom, unaware of who Tom really is.\nOriginally played by: Jack Davenport\nMy Choice: Anthony Perkins\nKeep your thoughts of Psycho at bay as I explain. I wanted an actor who could play someone that was naive but trusting. Perkins, in fact, is that in his first few scenes in Psycho. (Might seem a trifle awkward with who I have as Marge.)\nMeredith Logue\nAn heiress who, going by his introduction to her, thinks Tom is Dickie.\nOriginally played by: Cate Blanchett\nMy Choice: Jean Simmons\nI wanted an actress who had class, beauty and elegance but not too much of it. (Safe to say Audrey Hepburn was out of the running.) Jean is sort of the poor man's Audrey (not that it's a bad thing, mind you), so she was the ideal choice.\nFreddie Miles\nA good friend of Dickie's but someone Tom views with contempt (and vice versa).\nOriginally played by: Philip Seymour Hoffman\nMy Choice: Ernest Borgnine\nAnyone who's seen From Here to Eternity knows Ernest could play a complete S.O.B., so naturally I took that into account. Yet at the same time, Ernest could play a real swell guy to hang out with (which is what Freddie is to Dickie), so that also provides good reason to cast him.\nDickie's fiancee, who welcomes Tom openly but grows deeply suspicious of him as time wears on.\nOriginally played by: Gwyneth Paltrow\nMy Choice: Janet Leigh\nConsidering who I've chosen for Dickie, this one seemed like a no-brainer. That, and I wanted an actress like Paltrow, someone who possessed a natural beauty and talent to match. Janet was my go-to girl.\nA millionaire's son taking refuge in Italy, he uses people and lives life the way he wants to.\nOriginally played by: Jude Law\nMy Choice: Tony Curtis\nAgain, another no-brainer on my part. A gorgeous actor who can be sexy and sleazy at the same time? I've seen Tony do that enough times to know he's ideal for this part.\nHe appears to be a charming and innocent young man, but in reality he's a con man who craves a life of luxury.\nOriginally played by: Matt Damon\nMy Choice: Farley Granger\nYou're probably thinking, \"Who?\" If you've seen Rope or Strangers on a Train, then you'll know who he is and what kind of character he could play. He can appear calm but his mind can be troubled. His worries are hidden behind a handsome face. In short, the very being of Tom Ripley.\nHuh. I deliberately didn't mean to pick actors who have worked with Alfred Hitchcock (Granger, Leigh, Perkins), but it gives them an added bonus as to how to act in a thriller. Also, an Oscar winner and four nominees in one cast? Sounds good to me. (Not as great as the original cast of four Oscar winners and one nominee, but it works for me.)\nSo what do you think of this classic re-cast?\nAmid a summer full of big budget movies, it's nice to balance it all out with an independent film or two. (I try to do the opposite when it's Oscar season.)\nFor me, I saw Benh Zeitlin's Beasts of the Southern Wild. It's a bit of a bold film. Its actors are unknowns, it revolves around an event which mirrors that of one that happened not so long ago, and it's told from a child's perspective. Oh, and this is Zeitlin's debut as a director. And yet, everything just falls into place splendidly.\nMost independent films have a certain charm to them whether it be from the actors or the story. With Beasts of the Southern Wild, it's both. The way both the characters and the story are played out is just wonderful. I wonder what Zeitlin's influences were for this.\nNow onto the actors. Dwight Henry leaves a lasting impression when he's on screen, but it's Quvenzhane Wallis' performance that's indelible. The fact this is a great performance from a child is astonishing. Can you imagine what would happen if she got nominated for an Oscar?\nBeasts of the Southern Wild is a fantastic film. The cinematography from Ben Richardson is just stunning, another aspect of this film that should get some awards love. Seriously, go out and see this while it's still in theaters. Seeing it on the big screen adds to its allure.\nWhen there's anticipation for a film, the results are either sink or swim. However, if it's in the hands of a trusted director, the results are usually in the \"swim\" category.\nChristopher Nolan is one such director. His past seven films had stirred up an interest from both critics and audiences alike. His newest film The Dark Knight Rises does the same. It's much more dark and brutal than the previous two yet it's just as bewitching.\nLike Nolan's previous films, the cast is just to die for. Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman reprise their roles and do exceptionally well, Bale and Caine in particular. But it's the new faces that reign supreme. Tom Hardy, though not as menacing as Heath Ledger in the previous film, is a brute force of nature not to be reckoned with. Joseph Gordon-Levitt remains one of the very few people who still has faith in Batman, a risky move especially being in a city that branded him a pariah. Marion Cotillard, like in Inception, radiates in the limited screen time she has. And Anne Hathaway just emulates femme fatale chic.\nThe Dark Knight Rises contains several scenes that echo events of the recent past. Could Nolan be providing a social commentary amid a a comic book film? It's very likely, but I myself won't go into grand detail about it.\nThe Dark Knight Rises in the wrong hands could have fallen apart easily, especially with a 165-minute running time. But Nolan knows what he's doing. (Thank God.) Hans Zimmer's score and Wally Pfister's cinematography capture the dark nature of reality excellently in a film that showcases that very thing. Well played, Mr. Nolan.\nLabels: 2010s, director: Christopher Nolan, movies, reviews\nOh, what better way to open a film than by showing the protagonist beating up another character? In the case of Samuel Fuller's The Naked Kiss, the protagonist is Kelly (Constance Towers) and her target is her pimp.\nKelly changes her career choices and become a nurse. The town where she relocates appears to be a slice of Americana but like Kelly herself, it's hiding a few dark secrets of its own.\nFuller makes no bones about some of the risque material in The Naked Kiss nor does he feel the urge to shy away from it. Like his previous film Shock Corridor, this was made during a restriction-dominated era of Hollywood. Did Fuller give a damn about it? Nope.\nTowers is a real firecracker as Kelly. She has morals but they're not what you would expect, especially coming from an ex-hooker. This is the kind of role that was rare for actresses back in the day. And Towers adds to this explosive performance.\nThe Naked Kiss may not be suitable for everyone, but it sure is a hell of a film to watch. Along with Fuller's direction and Towers' performance, there's also some seductively sleazy cinematography from Stanley Cortez. And to think this was released the same year as My Fair Lady, the very thing one would not describe Kelly.\nEveryone knows that David Mamet is a great writer. (Hey, you watch Glengarry Glen Ross, and you'll see why.) It's that way of writing that makes him renowned.\nHis most recent film Redbelt displays the dialogue that Mamet is famous for. It's a sort of natural manner of speaking, but not completely. It displays repetition, which may be irksome to a certain crowd but it works for Mamet because most of his work has a lot going on.\nRedbelt is such an example. Indeed it has Mamet's trademark repetition, but the many goings on throughout is a bit of a problem. Mamet tries to balance out them all out evenly but alas, he fails to do so. It's a small complaint to be honest.\nThe actors of the film are very good, most notably its star Chiwetel Ejiofor. He's one of the few British actors that's not as heavily sought after. (Another is Idris Elba.) He has charisma, looks and, of course, talent, all on display in Redbelt. Hopefully he'll get his due. (Maybe in Twelve Years a Slave?)\nRedbelt is a very well-acted film with biting dialogue, but it's how the film is constructed that's the notable flaw. Mamet tries but only succeeds for about 80% of it. Still, it shows Mamet has still got it.\nOh, the things a writer will do for the sake of their own crooked reputation. Chuck Tatum left a man fighting for his life. J.J. Hunsecker got a slander published to ruin a man's reputation.\nWhat did Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck) do for his story? Nothing too out of the ordinary, just having himself committed to a mental hospital. The reason for this? To solve a murder that happened within its walls.\nSamuel Fuller provides a very explosive tale in the form of Shock Corridor. Don't expect something in the vein of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest nor a trashy B-movie. This is a film that's a league of its own. (What else do you expect from a film with killer opening lines like this: \"My name is Johnny Barrett. I'm a reporter for the Daily Globe. This is my story...as far as it went.\")\nOf course, for films like this, it's the details that went into it that matter. In this case, one crucial detail is Stanley Cortez's cinematography. The way he shows the dark corners of the human mind is hypnotizing. It's the type of cinematography most films wish they had.\nShock Corridor is, unsurprisingly, a shock to watch. To think a film like this was made in an era of Hollywood where regulations were the norm. This is a film that breaks all the rules, and we have Fuller to thank for it.\nThis is a known fact among the entertainment industry. All it takes for worldwide recognition is some exposure in something popular. (Seriously, take into account how many singers got big after competing on American Idol.)\nTake into account The Amazing Spider-Man. Its director Marc Webb (fitting name) got recognized after his debut (500) Days of Summer premiered three years earlier. The following year, its stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone got recognized from their work in The Social Network and Easy A, respectively.\nNow I haven't seen any of Sam Raimi's movies, so I can't provide any comparisons. However, I can say that I was thoroughly entertained with what Webb offered his audience. There were some complaints among those who saw this and Raimi's movies, but I ignored them. You're supposed to enjoy a movie like this, not criticize.\nGarfield possesses a certain charisma that's reminiscent of the stars of Hollywood's yesteryear. He plays Peter Parker not as someone who finds himself completely devoted to ridding crime. He plays him as who he is: a teenager. And going by the other work of his that I've seen, I can tell he's sticking around for some time.\nHaters say what you want about this. I really liked The Amazing Spider-Man, probably more than I should have. Garfield and Stone have great chemistry, and Webb makes it possible. Try to catch this when it's still in theaters.\nThe opening moments of Stephen Gaghan's Syriana depict a small moment of quiet tranquility. No dialogue, just the calm before the storm so to speak.\nSeven years later, the subject material of Syriana is still relevant. The subject matter in question? Relations between the United States and the Middle East. It's not as hotly discussed as it was back in 2005, but it's still discussed regardless.\nThe way Syriana is constructed is done in a style that's now common for many independent films nowadays (ie, Babel, Contagion). That said, the way this film is constructed isn't as well done. You'd think the man who wrote Traffic would be able to pull the same stunt twice.\nThe cast is quite good. Among the names in Syriana are George Clooney, Matt Damon, Christopher Plummer, Jeffrey Wright and Chris Cooper. They're all solid, but Clooney and Damon are the top performers here.\nSyriana is good, but a few flaws among the script prevents it from being great. The cast is good as well. Thanks to Gaghan, he gives his audience insight of a world issue that no one could turn away from (and, in a way, still can't).\nWhen one hears the name George Stevens, you immediately think of either A Place in the Sun or Giant. His other work usually gets put in the shadows.\nTake for instance Annie Oakley. Starring Barbara Stanwyck as the famed sharpshooter, the film displays the role differences of a certain era. Not many films from this decade like this were common.\nAs shown in the film, the thought of a woman sharpshooter was unheard of. A woman should be in the kitchen, not outside firing a gun. Annie, of course, managed to put women in a more respectable light.\nThat said, Stevens sort of sticks with that. He doesn't feel the urge to venture into any new material (except maybe a weak romantic subplot). However, what he shows is quite good.\nAnnie Oakley in toll is good for entertainment value but not much else. Stanwyck is good, but she usually is anyways. All in all, Annie Oakley is an amusing film but that's sort of it.\nIf there was one director who could do screwball comedies the best, that director would be Preston Sturges. I myself have only seen one other of his films (Sullivan's Travels), but I know excellence when I see it.\nI opted to see The Palm Beach Story starring Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea, both actors I previously saw in one other film each. (Colbert in It Happened One Night, McCrea in Sullivan's Travels.) That said, I knew both were very good at what they do.\nI saw somewhere that The Palm Beach Story provided some influence for Some Like It Hot seventeen years later. Indeed a few moments in Sturges' film could be viewed as reference points for Wilder's film, but both films and directors' styles are completely different. Still, just felt like bringing that up.\nSpeaking of directors' styles, I think what made Sturges so notable was that his comedies could be completely over the top and no one would mind. Oh, and the dialogue is so wonderful to hear coming from the actors' mouths. It's just the simple things that make a film fun to watch.\nThe Palm Beach Story is a very amusing film to watch unfold because you simply don't know what'll happen. The banter between Colbert and McCrea provides some very good entertainment. This is comedy at its finest.\nRian Johnson was introduced to the film industry in the form of the neo-noir Brick. Later this year, his third film Looper will be released. But what did Johnson do between these two films starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt? The comedy crime caper The Brothers Bloom.\nStarring Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel Weisz and Rinko Kikuchi, the film is a throwback to heist films of the 60s and 70s. (Johnson cited The Sting as an inspiration, and Paper Moon as an influence.) Though its style is more reminiscent of Wes Anderson's work than that of Brick.\nThe fact that Johnson got three Oscar winners (Brody, Weisz, Maximilian Schell), an Oscar nominee (Kikuchi) and a future Oscar nominee (Ruffalo) in his cast is interesting. Bear in mind Brick had a number of unknowns in its cast, so getting a roster of actors like that is impressive, especially for a sophomore effort. (Then again, the scope of names Steve McQueen got for his third film Twelve Years a Slave is fucking amazing.)\nJust a small observation. It's amusing that the four leads look like they just came from a magazine photoshoot. If I had to say which ones, it would probably be GQ for Brody and Ruffalo, maybe Harper's Bazaar for Weisz, and maybe an alternative fashion magazine for Kikuchi. (I'm not very good at naming fashion magazines.)\nThe Brothers Bloom is very clever, a rarity among films nowadays. The actors play their parts fantastically. This is one of those films that gets more and more fun with each viewing...at least that's what I'm told.\nThe opening scenes of Vincent Sherman's The Philadelphians provide the backdrop of a possible scandal. Fortunately for those involved, it goes unnoticed by the public and stays unnoticed.\nFast forward to many years later. Tony Lawrence (Paul Newman) is part of a prominent Philadelphia family. He also shows promise as a lawyer. The duration of The Young Philadelphians depicts Tony's rise to the top as a lawyer.\nThe film also shows the many personal dilemmas Tony encounters, many of them involving women. Either he rejects them or they reject him. It feels unnecessary to be honest, but this is from 1959. Romantic problems of the main characters were practically a requirement back then.\nIn regards with the acting, there's some notable work from the supporting cast. The most notable work is from Robert Vaughn, who plays the black sheep of another prominent family. But this show belongs to Newman. After all, this man made acting look easy.\nThe Young Philadelphians is good, but its running time of 136 minutes is 20 minutes too long. Newman is very good but then again, he almost always is. Appearing to be a courtroom drama laced with scandal, it actually pales in comparison to Anatomy of a Murder released the same year. However, if you like this sort of film (or, more specifically, Paul Newman), then it's worth a look. That said, it's not too memorable.\nIn my eyes, animated movies are solely for entertainment. That said, Pixar always tend to provide both entertainment and heartfelt moments. (Try finding one title of theirs that won't get you choked up.)\nPixar's newest entry Brave directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman does provide what its previous entries displayed, however not as effectively as WALL-E or Up. Still, it's a fun movie to watch regardless.\nFor an animated movie, the scenery is stunning. Every scene looks like a photograph. The eye for detail is just amazing. I don't know how long it took to make Brave, but the many contributions from the animators are very well done.\nI think what makes most films from Pixar stand out so much is that they always capture a certain magic. Sure, some live-action films do that as well, but Pixar is the only studio that captures this particular magic. And I love it.\nBrave in total is good but not great like Pixar's earlier titles. It's definitely something for the family but it's maybe not suitable for young children. It's good but it's more suitable for a DVD night.\nI like Danny Boyle's work. I liked Trainspotting, I thoroughly creeped out by 28 Days Later, and I thought Sunshine was pretty good. It was the stage production of Frankenstein that made me appreciate him more.\nI decided to check out his debut Shallow Grave, featuring Kerry Fox, a pre-Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston, and a pre-everything Ewan McGregor. The film is presented as something simple in the beginning but in the span of 93 minutes, Boyle gives his audience a glimpse at how twisted the human mind can become.\nThere are allusions to the work of Alfred Hitchcock throughout Shallow Grave. Not in the matter of suspense, but rather with the perverse delight a Hitchcock villain can get from their actions. It's a simple touch like that which makes the film all the more alluring to watch.\nOf the three main characters, it's Alex (McGregor) and David (Eccleston) who switch their statuses. (Juliet (Fox) is only a witness to the many events that unfold in the film.) Alex is essentially an asshole while David is the quiet target of Alex's jokes, but then David becomes the one in control with Alex and Juliet as his victims.\nIt may be too dark for some, but I really liked Shallow Grave. You can see the benchmarks of Boyle's other films throughout this (as well as seeing how McGregor became a star from this). Graciously, the Criterion Collection gave Shallow Grave its special treatment, so you have no real reason to pass this up.\nLabels: 1990s, director: Danny Boyle, movies, reviews\nThere are two types of vampires: the brooding, slightly handsome type and the purely evil type. What category does Jerry Dandrige (Colin Farrell) of Craig Gillespie's Fright Night fit into? Thankfully the latter category. (Though he does fit a little into the former category too.)\nOf course, playing a vampire relies more than just having a pretty face. An actor has to be able to play someone with a complete disregard for human life. Farrell does just that with a touch of devilish charm. Also, is it bad to be attracted to a vicious killer?\nAnton Yelchin provides some amusement as the main character of Charley Brewster. However, the way Charley is written is the typical teenager found in a horror movie: wants to get laid, confused by the regular moments in his life, things like that. Still, Yelchin makes the most of his role.\nFor me, I was thoroughly entertained by David Tennant as Peter Vincent. I think it was the thought of seeing The Doctor as a goth vampire expert that made it amusing. He traded in the brown suit and Converse high tops for leather and guyliner. (Honestly, that ass in low-cut leather pants. Yum.)\nThe main appealing factor of Fright Night is the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously. That's what makes it so amusing. There are gaps in the story, it gets ridiculous towards the end...who cares? Just watch for some spooks and laughs.\nMany of Jean-Pierre Melville's films revolve around the criminal underworld or simply people who go against what the government wants. The characters usually have no feelings for society or other people, sort of like the director himself.\nHowever, his film Leon Morin, Priest is different from Army of Shadows or Le samourai. The film revolves around the one thing the characters in Melville's other films would merely scoff: religion. And like many films about religion, Leon Morin, Priest focuses on an individual wrought by a sort of religious belief.\nIn this case, the individual is Barny (Emmanuelle Riva), a widow with a young daughter. She finds solace in the teachings of Father Morin (Jean-Paul Belmondo). However, as time wears on, she becomes less concerned about the teachings and more about Father Morin.\nLeon Morin, Priest is not afraid to show emotion unlike Melville's other more aloof films. It's also different because the main protagonist is female rather than a chauvinistic male. It's really a far cry from anything Melville would later do; that's what makes it stands out.\nLeon Morin, Priest is a very compelling film to watch. In less than two hours, the viewer watches a woman go from non-believer to witness to of a vision to God fearing. And Riva makes this performance her own. Belmondo, famous for his nonchalant role in Breathless, gives an equally transfixing performance. And Melville shows he can do more than American-influenced crime films.\nLabels: 1960s, director: Jean-Pierre Melville, movies, reviews\nWhen one has a spotless reputation, it can shock everyone when it's revealed they have a few vices. A family man carrying on an affair. A churchgoer who is abusive. A law-abiding citizen committing murder.\nJohn Sayles' Lone Star provides such a possibility. Sam Deeds (Chris Cooper) lives under the weight of his father's status as the county sheriff, the role Sam now holds. A skeleton is unearthed on the outskirts of town, and Sam starts to believe his father may not have been the upstanding lawman everyone says he was.\nSure, that premise sounds a bit hokey but Sayles makes Lone Star anything but. It's not a strict crime film; it's rather an observation of the many people in one small Texas town. And the way Sayles depicts it in a way so absorbingly, all we can do is watch.\nThe cast is fantastic. Cooper is great but then again, he usually is. Among the supporting actors are a wonderfully wicked Kris Kristofferson, a surprisingly adept Matthew McConaughey, and a quietly warm Elizabeth Pena. God bless the casting director for choosing these actors.\nLone Star is extremely well done. Along with the actors, there's also a great script by Sayles and lovely cinematography by Stuart Dryburgh. It's really something you shouldn't miss.\nThere are three eras in the world of film that are widely celebrated. There's the New Hollywood era, which introduced audiences to the likes of Scorsese, Coppola and Spielberg. The French New Wave got Godard, Truffaut and Chabrol recognized. The Italian neorealism era had filmgoers going, \"Buongiorno!\" to Fellini, Rossellini and Visconti.\nAnother prominent director of the latter era was Vittorio De Sica. His most famous work (and the most prolific film from that era) was The Bicycle Thief, a beautiful and devastating piece of art. Two years earlier, De Sica made Shoeshine, which is perhaps even more devastating than his magnum opus. Why? Its protagonists are children.\nGiuseppe (Rinaldo Smordoni) and Pasquale (Franco Interlenghi) are very close friends and witnesses to poverty in war-era Italy. Soon they find themselves in police custody for a crime they had no involvement in. As they spend more time behind bars, their friendship slowly starts to crumble.\nThe fact that the main characters for Shoeshine are children gives the film a compelling perspective. Their innocence is projected in every scene in a nice, delicate balance rather than in overindulgence. Oh, if more directors did that task, that'd be super.\nShoeshine is just a very heartbreaking film. (If you don't believe me, just read Pauline Kael's thoughts on it.) Honestly, tissues might be needed throughout.\nWith Sidney Lumet's death last year, we lost one of the undisputed great directors. Not many could make films like him. The most prominent aspect of his films was that he could always get great performances out of his actors.\nOne such example is Rod Steiger in The Pawnbroker. His character of Sol Nazerman is a square peg in the round hole that is 1960s New York City. He just doesn't fit in the fast pace of the city.\nSol tries to go on with his day without letting the regular flux of customers getting the better of him. The customers don't know of the life Sol led, so they just assume his behavior as unusual. In fact, he has to keep his composure to keep from falling apart.\nOne aspect of The Pawnbroker that stands out as much as Steiger's acting is Boris Kaufman's cinematography. Kaufman captures the hustle and bustle of both the city and Sol's mind. He also shoots the many gates in Sol's pawn shop as a way of rendering him a prisoner of his own life. Then again, what else do you expect from the same man who shot On the Waterfront?\nThe Pawnbroker is an underrated title of Lumet's filmography though it's not as great as 12 Angry Men or Network. It starts slow but gradually rises to a decent pace. It also loses something when Steiger's not on screen. Still, it's very much worth a look if you're a fan of Lumet.\nThere are always those misunderstood movies that come around about every year or so. Sometimes the critics don't like them. Other times they just don't capture the right audience. The result either way is that these movies deserve a second chance.\nTake Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as an example. I was already familiar with Wright from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz (although I shamefully admit I've yet to actually see them). I figured an appropriate introduction to his work would be his most recent movie.\nDid I get what I wanted out of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World? You bet I did, and more. It's pretty much the most awesome movie I saw this year. (Well, next to The Avengers.) Also, I can't be the only one who thought it was amusing that Ramona used to date Captain America AND Superman.\nIt's the many aspects that went into the movie that I like, such as the actors (Kieran Culkin was my favorite) and the fight scenes (Wright likened them to song and dance numbers in musicals but with more punching and ass-kicking). However, my favorite thing about Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was its many quotable lines. (I pretty much lost it at \"Chicken isn't vegan?\")\nScott Pilgrim vs. the World is pretty awesome. Sure, there were a few flaws here and there, but it's still really fun to watch. Oh, and if you're buying this on DVD, Blu-ray is a must.\nRemember when the news broke that Ridley Scott was making a prequel to his insanely successful Alien? Many opinions towards the story were leaning to the iffy side, but hey. Sometimes the outcome can surprise you.\nPrometheus doesn't exactly deliver as well as the film that started it all thirty-three years ago, though it does show that Scott still knows what he's doing after all this time. After all, most sci-fi titles recently only focus on sexy alien chicks and gratuitous violence (and the occasional sex scene). Not in Scott's universe.\nOne thing the old school sci-fi titles always tend to focus on was the meaning of life and existence. Prometheus does such a thing. It's not exactly the what Stanley Kubrick did with 2001: A Space Odyssey, but what Scott does isn't half bad.\nThe cast isn't bad either. Noomi Rapace isn't quite like Sigourney Weaver, but she makes the most of her screen time. Charlize Theron and Idris Elba do pretty much the same thing, Guy Pearce just a slight level above them. The MVP of Prometheus has to be Michael Fassbender, who has definitely made a name for himself in a short amount of time.\nAll in all, Prometheus is quite good but nowhere near the greatness of Alien. The plot holes are slightly bothersome though the actors make up for them more or less. Still, do yourself a favor and wait until it's on DVD to watch it.\nThe opening moments of Lars von Trier's Melancholia contain a number of surreal images set against an orchestral score. It looks odd to an outsider of von Trier's work, but not so much to those who have seen at least one of his films.\nJustine (Kirsten Dunst) in the first half of Melancholia displays an uncertainty towards her new life as a married woman. It's likely she has a fear of commitment, but it's hard to say. Some view her behavior as erratic, but they don't know what goes on in her mind.\nClaire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) is different from her sister Justine. She's much more reserved however she can be uneasy at times as shown in various moments throughout the film. It's during her brief bouts of hysteria that it's Claire who's the more erratic of the two sisters, not Justine.\nThere's a slightly unsettling aspect of Melancholia in the knowledge that von Trier thought of the premise after a therapy session. (Those Danish directors sure are quirky.) Still, it shows his frame of mind on this sort of subject.\nI really liked Melancholia, though I didn't love it as much as Dogville. Maybe because Melancholia got really depressing really fast and Dogville didn't. That said, it's worth a look.\nHey, every now and again I need to watch something light after seeing an assortment of critically acclaimed dramas. A good balance to be honest.\nI saw Gary Winick's 13 Going on 30, which some apparently call the female version of Big. Sure, some scenes could be compared to Penny Marshall's movie, but this is a different movie in actuality. A lot cuter too.\nI really liked how Jennifer Garner plays her role. It's the way she plays her character of Jenna as a confused teenager in a woman's body. It's a really cute performance from her which, to be honest, is also a rare one nowadays.\nMark Ruffalo is someone I've always liked, especially after his great work in You Can Count on Me. Here in 13 Going on 30, he's the romantic leading man sort of in a similar vein to Jimmy Stewart in The Shop Around the Corner. And honestly, who doesn't like him? He's just one of those actors who's really likable.\nI just really, really liked 13 Going on 30. Like I said, getting a light romantic comedy within your viewing schedule of critically acclaimed films is a good thing. This movie provides such a relief from such films. I should do this more often.\nBOOK VS MOVIE: Bridget Jones's Diary\nThere's always that slightly awkward moment when you can relate with a fictional character. It's not really a bad thing. It's just unusual.\nFor me recently, it's the title character of Helen Fielding's novel Bridget Jones's Diary. Like Bridget, I too am plagued by a bad single life and people who constantly pester me on one and only one subject. But I don't lead as bad a life as her.\nWhat I like about Fielding's novel is how it's written. Many of Bridget's diary entries are similar to the way I write and think. Finally, a novel that accurately captures the female mind.\nSharon Maguire's movie also captures what Fielding's novel captures with the addition of rightly chosen actors. Renee Zellweger perfectly channels the many frustrations Bridget faces. Hugh Grant plays the ideal sleazy bastard. And, let's be honest. Colin Firth is pretty much the most perfect man alive. (Not much competition since Paul Newman passed away.)\nOf course, there are difference between the novel and the movie. The novel is darker compared to the movie's light attitude. The presentation of the characters is very much the same in both. A few scenes in the novel were either altered or omitted in the movie. Still, I liked both of them very much.",

        "raw_content": "TSS: The One Year Adventure Novel\nThey say March is supposed to come in like a lamb tomorrow and I am ready! The Midwest has not been hit as hard as our neighbors on the East Coast, but our winter has lasted long enough for me, thank you very much.\nIt has been a productive literary month for me, although that is not necessarily reflected in the number of books I have read. Instead, I have also devoted quite a bit of time this month to developing the Creative Writing class that I hope to offer next semester. Currently I am co-teaching a creative writing \"club\" -- that is, the students receive no credit for the course, nor do they have homework. The club, called iWrite (we tried to capitalize on the iPod, iPad lingo of students in the 21st Century) meets on Monday afternoons from 3:00-4:00. Given the late hour of the day and the fact that this is completely voluntary, we are thrilled to have between 8 and 12 students show up each week (our student body is less than 200).\nThis week I met with the developer of a creative writing curriculum entitled the One Year Adventure Novel (OYAN) and walked away totally excited! The curriculum was originally marketed to the homeschool community, but I think it will work wonderfully in the classroom. Basically the students learn the essentials of a good adventure story the first semester (by completing workbook exercises, watching video clips, and reading through the textbook) and then the second semester is devoted to writing a 12 chapter novel (approximately 15,000 words). Isn't that exciting?! In 9 months time these students will write a first draft of a novel!\nThe parameters of the course dictate that the novel needs to be an adventure story (complete with protagonist, antagonist, heroic quest, etc) and that the novel be written in the first person. Should students take the class more than once, then they will have the skills to broaden the scope of subsequent novels (eg - different genre, different POV, etc). I have decided that in order to be an effective teacher, I need to write an adventure story myself. This will be a challenge on so many levels, not the least of which is that I detest adventure. I spend my life trying to avoid conflict - and now I must intentionally create this type of story, complete with tense cliff-hangers and life-or-death situations. I have spent the better part of a week brainstorming various ideas for this project, but I think I have found one - or at least one worth pursuing to the next level. This week will be spent reading through the textbook and relating the exercises to my story idea.\nI have also done a little work on the original story idea of which I posted a couple of weeks ago (working title: Photographic Memory). My outside reading this month has focused on published books that I think might help me write that first story. I read Still Alice by Lisa Genova because I anticipate one of my main characters to suffer from Alzheimer's and I wanted to see if I could write a believable story line and character. This weekend I started reading The Cotton Queen by Pamela Morsi because it is a generational novel that is written in alternating points of view - the style that I think I may wish to use in the telling of my story.\nI've heard that it is beneficial to read as many books in your chosen genre (or style) that you can in order to see how to craft that kind of story well. Should you know of any other novels that may help me in this endeavor, either where one of the characters suffers from some kind of dementia or memory loss, OR that focuses on the mother/daughter relationship told in alternating points of view, I would love to hear. I plan to keep an ongoing list of possible book references.\nTwo more weeks of school until Spring break. I am ready for spring, and I most definitely need a break. How about you?\nShow Me 5 Saturday - The Lightning Thief\nI have enjoyed reading Jenners' Show Me 5 posts and have decided to play along for a second week in a row. The meme was originally started by A Novel Idea, but I think Jenners is now the primary host for this event at her blog, Find Your Next Book Here.\nThe concept is to review a book in 5 short, easy steps:\n1 Book Read: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan\n2 Words that describe the book: Mythological adventure\n3 Settings where the book took place and/or characters that you meet:\nPercy Jackson - a 6th grader with ADHD who happens to be the half-blood son of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea. He is accompanied by two other friends: Grover Underwood, who happens to be a satyr, trying desperately to become a searcher so that he can begin a quest for Pan; and another half-blood, Annabeth Chase, the daughter of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom.\nThe Empire State Building doubles as Mount Olympus, the home of Zeus, the Greek god of the sky.\nThe ROA recording studio in Los Angeles doubles as the modern-day location of Hades.\n4 Things that you like and/or dislike about the book\nI like the fact that the book does not demand a knowledge of Greek mythology in order to appreciate its story.\nI like the fact that the book not only entertains the reader with a fast-paced action adventure story, but it actually educates the reader. There is enough information given about the Greek gods and goddesses to allow the reader to relate to the story, while at the same time developing an interest in Greek mythology to make the reader want to learn more on his own.\nI like the fact that the book is accessible to many different readers. Those who struggle with reading will appreciate the simple, straight-forward writing style, the fast-paced action, and the 12 year old humor. Those who are more advanced in reading will enjoy the layers of thematic development (particularly the Quest archetype and the transformation of protagonist from ordinary boy to brave hero), along with the fantastical setting of ancient Greece in modern day America.\nI dislike the notion that this series is comparable to Harry Potter. While I can understand why the comparison is made, I think that this set up a level of expectation in my mind that could not be met. This is a fine series and will be enjoyed by many - but reviewers need to let it stand on its own.\n5 Stars or less for a rating: 4 out of 5. I did like this story very much and may one day read the rest of the series. However I was not completely enthralled with these characters the way I instantly became attached to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I think if I had not had the seed planted from the beginning that there was some kind of comparison to be made --- I may have been more inclined to give a higher rating.\nLabels: Books Reviewed, show me 5\nBTT - Why We Read....\nWell, get ready to hold onto your seats, because this week's Booking through Thursday's question suggested by Janet is a deep one:\nI\u2019ve seen this quotation in several places lately. It\u2019s from Sven Birkerts\u2019 \u2018The Gutenberg Elegies: The Fate of Reading in an Electronic Age\u2019:\n\u201cTo read, when one does so of one\u2019s own free will, is to make a volitional statement, to cast a vote; it is to posit an elsewhere and set off toward it. And like any traveling, reading is at once a movement and a comment of sorts about the place one has left. To open a book voluntarily is at some level to remark the insufficiency either of one\u2019s life or one\u2019s orientation toward it.\u201d\nTo what extent does this describe you?\nWell, I apparently do not frequent those same sites, because this was the first time that I had seen this quote, and to be honest, I had to re-read it a couple of times to half-way understand Birkerts' position. While I am not sure that I completely understand all that he is trying to say, nor do I agree with what I do understand, I do think the question of Why We Read is an important one to ponder from time to time.\nI guess I find three key points to this quote:\nWhenever we read of our own free will (verses reading for work or school or some other commitment) we are making an active choice to read rather than do anything else. I agree, and the same holds true for any decision we make in life. By choosing to do one thing - we are therefore choosing NOT to do many others. I think the important component of this portion of the quote is that we INTENTIONALLY choose. Too often, I think, decisions are made from habit or from non-decisions (I don't know what to do, so I will sit in front of the television until I decide. THAT is a decision --- choosing to sit in front of the TV rather than do anything else is a decision, and not a very wise one, I might add *grin*). We all are given the same 24 hours in a day; it is up to us how we choose to spend those 24 hours.\nReading is a movement and a comment of sorts on the place left behind. OK --- reading takes us to a literary world and for that brief moment in time we are indeed transported, by the author's words, from our own real world into that imaginary one. Because what we are reading is voluntary (see point 1), then we are choosing which literary world we want to visit, and very often, that choice is based on how we are feeling or experiencing the world in which we live. I will buy that - but I think that is where I will stop. I am not sure that I am making any other comment on my own life other than the subject matter of the book is of interest to me at this point in time. I read for a variety of reasons: sometimes to escape, sometimes to experience, sometimes to learn, and sometimes just to broaden my horizons. This leads me to ......\nTo open a book voluntarily is at some level to remark the insufficiency either of one's life or one's orientation towards it. I think this goes a bit too far. Is this sometimes true? - yes; but this statement makes it sound as if the sole reason why those who read voluntarily do so because we are an unsatisfied group of people and are looking for answers to help us cope. I think I am rather satisfied with my life, thank you very much, and while I do not believe that I live in a perfect world, I am not at the point of being dissatisfied and unable to cope with the way things are.\nI think I read because, as Horace wrote in Ars Poetica ' Reading entertains and instructs' These two components, in my opinion, are of equal weight: yes, reading instructs and perhaps at times it can help us make sense of the real world in which we live and give us insight that will enable us to feel not quite so \"insufficient\" --- but reading also entertains, just as watching movies, or playing board games with family members, or playing a round of golf. I do those other activities not because I am dissatisfied with life, but rather, to enhance life.\nI am not sure that I have adequately stated my true feelings here. I think I am hung up on the negative connotations (in my mind) of the word \"insufficiencies\" Perhaps my interpretation of that word is not how the author intended.\nSo let me leave you with someone who is far more eloquent than myself. C. S. Lewis wrote about the Literary vs the Unliterary Man in one of his essays in An Experiment in Criticism. I have paraphrased this to suit my purposes, as I use this quote each year at back-to-school night for my British Literature students and parents:\nUnliterary Man: sees no point in reading anything more than once\nLiterary man: looks forward to re-reading an old favorite \u2013 like a long, lost friend\nUnliterary man: will turn to reading as a last resort \u2013 nothing else to do\nLiterary man: always looking for leisure time and silence in which to read\nUnliterary man: read only for the plot \u2013 totally ignores style or sound\nLiterary man: is just as interested in how the author said it \u2013 as he is in what was said\nUnliterary man: rarely affected by a literary work\nLiterary man: reads to improve himself \u2013 develop potentialities \u2013 become more complete\nI strive to be a literary man.\nTuesday Teaser: Still Alice\nTuesday Teaser is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should be Reading. Anyone is invited to play along, just:\nOpen a random page\nShare 2 teaser sentences from that page (I will share slightly more today)\nShare the Title and the author so that other participants may add the book to their TBR lists, if they so desire\nMy teaser is from Still Alice by Lisa Genova\nAnd I have no control over which yesterdays I keep and which ones get deleted. This disease will not be bargained with. I can't offer it the names of the United States presidents in exchange for the names of my children. I can't give it the names of the state capitals and keep the memories of my husband. --- page 251\nMusing Monday - Keeping Books\nToday's Musing Monday questions asks:\nDo you keep all the books you ever buy? Just the ones you love? Just collectibles? What do you do with the ones you don\u2019t want to keep?\nWell, prior to my discovery of book blogs a little over a year ago, I would say that I kept every book that I bought. I tended to read books for school rather than for pleasure, and so every book that was purchased I planned to reuse over time. At that time books bought for pleasure were judiciously scrutinized to ensure that I would absolutely love it, or I wouldn't invest in a personal copy.\nOn occasion I would experience a spring cleaning mood where I would want to clear away the clutter of the home, and periodically I would scour the bookshelves for any potential give aways. These discards would either find their way to Goodwill or donated to the library's used book sale.\nOver the past year, however, I have seen my personal book purchases escalate by leaps and bounds. I blame this on blogger irresistible reviews as well as the opening of three Half Price Bookstores within 20 miles of my home. My TBR list is constantly growing, and the clearance shelves at the used bookstore practically give away the titles. Consequently, my once rather manageable personal collection has gained considerable weight and periodically (about 2-3 times a year) I feel the need to put it on a diet.\nWhile I always keep books that I absolutely love (because I harbor these fantasies that I will one day re-read all these books again), I also keep books that I do not have time to read now, but anticipate a time in the not-too-distant future when I will have more time to read and I do not want to be at a loss for subject matter. The books that I am willing to part with tend to be those that were enjoyed at one point in time, but that I do not think I will want to re-read. This results in few books given away and more bookshelves being built.\nHow about you? Do you find it difficult to part with books - or do you read and promptly pass along to someone else?\nWelcome to my Sunday Salon this week....\nThe weekend started off in a delightful way! We went out with dear friends for some good food, great conversation, and a trip to Barnes and Noble. It doesn't get much better than that, in my book (so to speak).\nWhile browsing the shelves and tables of my most favorite retreat, I found a few books that I want to investigate (e.g. - borrow from the library to check them out). Many of you have already recommended the Postmistress by Sarah Blake, and while the premise sounds interesting, I must confess that I absolutely love the cover! My friend took this one home and I am anxious to hear her review of the book as well. Other books that caught my attention were:\nLetter to my Daughter by George Bishop. I read the first page and was instantly drawn in (I'm not sure I can wait until it is my turn to obtain the book at the library - there are 20 people ahead of me). Right now the aspect that I find most intriguing is that the book is written from the mother's point of view, but the author is a man!\nThe 3 Weissmann's of Westport by Cathleen Schine. At first I was interested in the book because it is called a modern day Sense and Sensibility. However, when I discovered that it takes place in Westport, CT --- my home of 20 years, I just knew I had to check it out. Unfortunately, I think I am currently number 36 in line for the library copy! In my \"research\" however, I discovered that this book is actually a sequel The New Yorker - which they currently have available. I should be picking it up later this week.\nInside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz. A non-fiction book that delves into the inner psyche of my beloved pets. The front cover stated that not only can dogs smell day-old food, but they can also smell sadness. I just KNEW my dogs understood my emotions! I absolutely have to read this book, but alas it will not be for a while; the wait is over a month at the library!\nThe weather in the Midwest continues to be dismal. I heard the other day that we have had the sum total of 2 sunny days in the past 45! I am beginning to think the nation's midsection will all start to suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder) if the weather pattern doesn't change soon. Today the temperature is hovering right at 32 degrees, which means we are to have a wonderful mix of cold rain, freezing sleet, and accumulating snow. I am very grateful that I do not have to travel in this mess, but rather I can sit back in my cozy nook and read. I am currently reading Fablehaven by Brandon Mull (I seem to be in a YA fantasy mood lately) and I just started Still Alice by Lisa Genova. I won this book last fall during the 24 hour read-athon, and after reading Jenners' amazing review this week, I decided that I should not put off reading this book any longer. I also consider this book sort of \"research\" for my writing project. I had thought that one of my characters would have Alzheimer's and the use of photographs would help to reconnect with her. Reading more about this devastating disease from the inside out will help me to write a more believable story.\nOther than making a dish of PTA casserole to help my family stay warm on this winter day, I plan to spend many hours reading in my nook. How about the rest of you? Have you been able to enjoy some literary activities this weekend?\nWeekend Cooking: PTA Casserole\nWeekend Cooking is graciously hosted by Beth Fish and allows me to focus on another passion in life: cooking. She encourages us to post anything that has to do with food: a recipe, a cookbook review, a kitchen gadget promotion - anything. So if you care to play along, visit the introductory post found here\nWhen the kids were younger and life was more hectic (aka - Mom was the only one available with a driver's license to take 3 children to various extra-curricular activities and social engagements), I would gravitate toward the 365 Meal books to help me fix dinner in a pinch. At one time I think I owned every title made, but I found that the 365 ways to cook Pasta, Chicken, and Ground Meat to be the tried-and-true favorites. Later this year, if and when the weather ever becomes sunny and warm, I will post the recipe for Pasta Salad that everyone in the family adores - but for today, I thought I would post the recipe for soul-satisfying PTA casserole. This dish is very easy to prepare, makes a ton to allow for leftovers, and in my humble opinion, epitomizes the meaning of comfort food!\nPTA CASSEROLE\n8 oz elbow macaroni -- cooked until tender\nParmesan cheese (my addition)\nIn a large skillet - cook ground meat and onion over medium-high heat, stirring often to break up clumps of meat, until beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off excess fat. Stir in tomato sauce, celery salt and pepper.\nIn a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream and parsley until smooth.\nIn a buttered (I use Pam) deep 3-quart casserole, layer the macaroni, all of cheese mixture, and remaining macaroni. Top macaroni with meat sauce and dot with butter (I eliminate the butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese instead).\nBake until casserole is bubbling, about 45 minutes\nNOTE: this can be prepared through step 4 in advance, cover and refrigerate for up to one day before baking.\nStriking Sentences - 2.20.10\nStriking Sentences is a relatively new meme that I have run across lately. It is hosted by Becca at Bookstack and asks:\nThis week I would like to highlight one of the several quotes that I found while reading Melanie Benjamin's, Alice I Have Been. This particular quote is found on page 335, and takes place between Peter Llewelyn-Davies, the inspiration for Peter Pan, and Alice Lidell:\n\"But people like to think life is a fairy tale, and it seems that I'm quite unable to shake it. However have you managed to put up with Alice for such a long time?\"\nI smiled, and did not take offense at the impolite reference to my age. He looked so very curious, touchingly hopeful; hopeful that somehow, I would be able to help him with merely a word or a handshake or a kiss on the cheek.\n\"My dear boy, I'm sure I don't know how.\" For to tell the truth, I was tired of being Alice in Wonderland.....\n\"......I suppose, at some point, we all have to decide which memories - real or otherwise - to hold on to, and which ones to let go. I'm sure I haven't quite gotten the knack of it myself. But soon, perhaps. Perhaps, soon.\"\nThere is so much truth in this fictitious conversation between two adults who have been immortalized as childhood heroes. Don't we all sometimes grow weary of the character role we play? While we may not always have control over life's circumstances, don't we have some control over what we choose to consciously remember? That is, what we choose to dwell on and rehash over and over again in our minds? And isn't it possible that our recollection of what happened is somewhat distorted by our personal perspective? I, too, am learning to choose which memories I care to hold to, and which ones are ready to be discarded so that I can move forward and no longer be held back by the tape recorder of the mind.\nShow Me 5 Saturday - The Christmas List\nThis will be my first time to participate in Show Me 5 Saturday, hosted by That's a Novel Idea. I have been reading Jenner's posts over the past few weeks and have enjoyed this format of a book review. It is short and sweet, which may prove to be quite the challenge for someone as verbose as I.\nBook Read: The Christmas List by Richard Evans\nWords that describe book: Thought-provoking and Inspirational\nSetting where it took place and/or Characters you meet: James Kier is the main character - a man who reads his obituary in the morning paper and then witnesses the reactions that people have to his death. He quickly learns that he is not the man he wants to be and tries to seek forgiveness from those he has wronged. Linda his faithful secretary who helps create his \"Christmas List\" of those he has hurt the most and encourages him to follow through with his plan, even if he is met with great resistance. Celeste Hatt, one of the five whom he grievously wronged and attempts to make restitution.\nThings you like and/or dislike about the book: I like the idea of knowing how others truly share their opinions of us when they think we are no longer alive. It makes me wonder how I am living my life and what they might say about me. I like the idea that while the setting of this book is the Christmas season, the theme of the book is relevant at any time of the year. I would think this would make a marvelous read during the Lenten season. I disliked the fact that each chapter was very short and succinct; while this made for very quick, easy reading, I was left wanting more - more character development, more detail, more opportunity to linger over the powerful message. I liked the fact that not all the characters were quick to forgive as this gave the book an air of legitimacy. Although all the loose ends are nice, and perhaps too neatly tied together in the epilogue, the story itself rang true to me.\n5 Stars or less for a rating: I would rate the book 4.5 out of 5 stars. I know this is a story and a theme that will remain with me for quite a while. As I think back on this book I would hope that it would help me be a better person while I am still on this earth. My only hesitation for rating it 5 out of 5 was the almost too perfect ending provided by the epilogue. I almost wonder if I would have been more satisfied if the book had ended with last chapter.\nI want to thank my dear friend and fellow book-lover, Jil, for recommending this book to me. She was right - I absolutely LOVED it!\nAll About Alice....\nMy 9th grade English class has decided to read Alice in Wonderland in preparation for the new release movie by Tim Burton. While I will be experimenting with literature circles for this read (that is, students will be placed in small groups and as a group they will decide how much to read per week, what projects to complete for an assessment grade, how to study vocabulary, etc) --- I need to have a good handle on the work before we begin to study it on February 26th. I am sad to say that my educational background did not require me to read this classic before now.\nAs is true to my nature, I like to try to read as much about a book and its author as I can before teaching it AND without going overboard. To aid this enrichment process I chose Alice I Have Been and The Other Alice to read alongside the famed fairy tale. I will briefly review of three works in this post.\nThe Other Alice by Christina Bjork and Inga-Karin Eriksson is a short (less than 100 pages) non-fiction book about the real Alice in Wonderland - Alice Liddell. The series of short chapters briefly describe the relationship between the Dean Liddell's family and the math don at Oxford, Charles Dodgson, otherwise known as Lewis Carroll. The book is geared toward the Young Adult market, so there are lots of pictures, photographs, and useful background information about the culture of Oxford, England during the Victorian Era. The somewhat controversial subject matter between Charles Dodgson and Alice remains pure in this book, and that is appropriate for my classroom. In my opinion, this book gave just the right amount of background information to help me appreciate the classic story.\nAlice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll -- Penguin edition. I absolutely LOVE the Penguin classic editions. I find the long introductions very educational and helpful to the analysis of the story, and the detailed footnotes for each chapter also add value and enrichment. I was somewhat skeptical about reading this story; it is, after all, fantasy fiction and I often have a difficult time relating to books that are not grounded in reality. This book, however, I thoroughly enjoyed. Perhaps it is my recent foray into the Harry Potter books that have made my mind more susceptible to this genre - or perhaps it is because the novella is only a 100 pages long and geared toward a younger audience, but for whatever reason, I found the read quite enjoyable. I particularly liked Carroll's use of puns and word games throughout the entire book; ;and his sense of \"logic\" in this nonsense world was quite humorous. It kept my intellect challenged while the dream sequence challenged my imagination. I think the class will enjoy this work as well.\nAlice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin was a pure joy to read --- with or without the original classic tie-in. In this historical fiction novel, Alice is now over 80 years old and looking back on her life. Since she was only ten when the famous (infamous?) boat ride occurred that culminated in the tale of \"her\" story - our narrator is somewhat unreliable. In fact, she does not really clear up the mystery of what happened between herself and Mr. Dodgson that caused her mother such grave concern - until the very end of the book. Without giving away any of the suspense, I must say that I was thrilled with the way in which Ms. Benjamin told the entire story - and in particular, with the way in which she tied up all the loose ends. This book is an absolute must-read, in my humble opinion, for anyone; no prior knowledge needed.\nI am now very much looking forward to seeing the movie with my class. It is my understanding that the movie picks up when Alice is now 17 years old and has no recollection of her original visit to Wonderland. She is rather disillusioned with life in Victorian England and when she spies the White Rabbit, she decides to follow him. What ensues is a reuniting with her original Wonderland creatures and another fairy tale adventure.\nI think it might be a fun assignment if my students write their own \"sequel\" to the book before we see the movie. How do they envision the return of Alice to this fantastical world when she is on the cusp of adulthood? Then, after we see the movie, they can compare and contrast their ideas to those of Tim Burton. I think it may spark some fun class discussions, and give students a different way to connect with the text.\nWhat about you? Do you plan to see the movie when it is released March 5? Do you have any preconceived notions of how the sequel should be told? I would love to hear your thoughts.\nA Page in the Life of.....me\nWendy at Musings of a Bookish Kitty has a feature where she interviews fellow bloggers. I always enjoy reading a bit more about the person behind the scene, so when she asked if I would be willing to be a participant, I agreed.\nIf you are interested in knowing a big more about me - then check out Wendy's post. I am very grateful that she thought enough of my blog to find me a worthy subject matter.\nWWW Wednesdays is a short and sweet little meme hosted by MizB at Should be Reading. In essence she asks us to post:\nWhat am I currently reading: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. This was recommended so highly by several students that I knew I had to give it a try. It is a very quick, action-packed adventure story of Half-bloods (that is, part human and part Greek god) who are called to a Quest to defeat evil. Fortunately for me, no prior knowledge if Greek mythology is needed, as it is explained throughout the book. The movie adaptation was just recently released and perhaps I will venture to see it once I have finished the book. It is the first book in a 5 part series.\nWhat did I recently finish reading: I recently completed Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, in preparation of teaching it to my 9th grade class. While I was somewhat skeptical of this fantasy fiction classic (I often have a difficult time connecting with such imaginative stories), I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this short novella that dares to make sense of a dream world. I particularly enjoyed - and actually laughed out loud - at some of the puns and word games.\nWhat do I think I will read next: I hope to find the time to read my library copy of Beth Hoffman's, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, before it is due. I have read so many wonderful reviews, and it does not look like a complicated story. I also think it is a story rich in character relationships, which is my preferred genre and a welcome change from the fantasy books that have occupied my reading time of late.\nHow about you? What books are you planning to read this week that I should add to the TBR pile?\nI do believe this meme is one of my all-time favorites and I thank Eva of A Striped Armchair and Marg of Reading Adventures for hosting this fun event.\nThis week's haul was rather light - and that is a good thing. I am somewhat swamped with teaching at this time of year and I will soon have to start reading for my summer program (which will probably involve either Moby Dick or all of Faulkner's words). I actually went to the library to drop off about 15 books, and just pick up a couple of holds. But as luck would have it....there were some books available in the new release area that I have had my eye on for quite some time, so I snagged them.\nThe books that I brought home this week include:\nWrite Away by Elizabeth George. I have spent many weeks now reading books on writing and I am just about ready to put into practice what I have read. However, I remember Belle, at Ms. Bookish, praising this book in the past, and I wanted to read what this prolific author had to say before I temporarily suspended my reading on this topic.\nBlankets by Craig Thompson. This is a graphic novel, which I typically do not enjoy because it is like sensory overload for me. However, because of all the wonderful book blogger reviews over the past few weeks, I decided to give this genre one more try. From what I can tell, the pictures are not too graphic or over-the-top, so I think I might be able to focus my attention on the storyline.\nSaving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman. Ok - who hasn't heard of this outstanding debut novel?! I have had my name on the library waiting list for weeks, but as luck would have it, there was a copy available this week on the new release bookshelf. I will only have this book for 2 weeks, but I think that will be long enough to decide if it is one that I want to read right away. I just discovered that the author will be in Kansas City on March 23rd - so I may decide to purchase my book at that time and have it autographed -- how exciting!\nThe Group by Mary McCarthy. Several bloggers have reviewed this book recently and given it the highest praise. I hope to have the opportunity to see if it is a viable book for me.\nThe Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans. Ok - I know we are two months past Christmas already, but a good friend of mine just ranted and raved about this one. She made it sound like it was a book that could be read and enjoyed at any time of year - not just during the holiday season. When I saw it on the bookshelf, I simply could not resist.\nSo that is the extent of my library loot for this week. Did any of you visit the library this week? What books found their way into your home?\nOhh - I am so excited! I can actually participate in Mailbox Monday hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page.\nEach week I read all of your posts with a tinge of envy. Of course I am happy for all your wonderful bookish mail, but deep inside I wish that my mailbox had been filled with literary delights too. Well, this week I received a very special box from Amazon. I really hadn't intended to buy this many books, honest. But you know....they had this special promotion of buy 3 books get the 4th one free and I had already selected 3 books that I really needed wanted to buy. So finding a fourth was mandatory! And I absolutely, positively loved Dog Gone It and vowed to purchase the second book in the series when it became available. The fact that it was on-sale made that an imperative buy as well. AND....I did have all those Christmas gift cards that needed to be spent.\nSo as you can see, this box of 6 books was really not an impulse purchase; it was simply meant to be.\nSurviving Hitler by Andrea Warren. I reviewed this book a couple of weeks ago (here), and I simply knew that I needed to include it as part of my own personal library.\nThereby Hangs a Tail by Spencer Quinn. Most of you know by now that I am a sucker for any dog story. I read the author's first book in this series, Dog Gone It, and absolutely loved the plot, the characters, and the voice of Chet the dog. I am very anxious to read this second book.\nMr. Dixon Disappears by Ian Sansom. I reviewed the first in this series, The Case of the Missing Books, and absolutely loved it!! When I obtained this book from the library (the second book in the series), I knew by the end of the first paragraph that it was one that I needed to own - not just borrow!\nEye of the Crow by Shane Peacock. I read the first few chapters of this book and was completely enthralled (thank you, Belle, for the recommendation). Since I will be teaching a unit on Sherlock Holmes' mysteries later this semester, I thought this would be a nice recommendation for summer reading for my 7th grade class.\nFablehaven by Brandon Mull. This is actually a book that I purchased \"sight unseen.\" It was suggested as a possible next read if you liked Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. Since both of these series are hot buttons for my students, I thought I might try this one for myself. I had read the first two chapters of a library edition and was definitely intrigued.\nThe Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan. I have had two students breeze through this entire series over the course of two weeks. Because of their high praise, I have had three more students begin the series. I figure if this book is good enough to encourage 5 middle schoolers to read --- it must be investigated. I would like to try to read this one ASAP so that I can go to the movie and do a compare and contrast.\nI would not be completely honest if I did not let you know of a few books that managed to find their way into my home, bypassing the mailbox. Again, I am really not to blame. See, Half Priced books had a 20% off coupon in celebration of Valentine's Day and I just couldn't let that kind of a deal go to waste. In my defense, I used great restraint and only purchased 4 books for a total of $16.00.\nThe Unauthorized Harry Potter Companion by Colin Duriez. As many of you know, I am listening to this series on audio book. For a visual learner like myself, I feel that I can benefit from a dictionary of sorts to show me the correct spelling of wizard and muggle words, and to refresh my memory of significant events, characters, places, and such. This was found in the clearance section and I simply could not pass it up.\nThe Pemberley Chronicles by Rebecca Ann Collins. I have wanted to start this series for quite some time - both from the standpoint of being a Pride and Prejudice fan - and from a writer's point of view. I am fascinated that this author could write a 7 book series detailing the lives of these classic characters after the joyful ending of the original work. I also think I will use this book to show my Brit Lit students the lasting power and presence of Jane Austen - some 200 years after her death.\nThe Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. I enjoyed The Eyre Affair, and I am interested in reading Shades of Grey, but there is something about the concept of bringing fairy tale characters to life in this nursery crime series that has me very intrigued.\nThe Bookshop by Penelope Fitzgerald. This book has been reviewed on several book blogs lately and I am always interested in reading books about books - so when I saw it sitting forlornly on the clearance bookshelf, I felt as though it was calling my name.\nSo how about you? Have you come across any must-have books this week that you simply could not refuse to bring home?\nHappy Valentine's Day! My sweetie and I celebrated yesterday by going to one of our favorite breakfast restaurants, Mama's 39th Street Diner (it was featured on Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and we have been thanking him ever since). Now this restaurant just happens to be a stone's throw from the largest Half Priced Bookstore in town, so naturally we had to stop. That was the perfect Valentine's Day for me, and Geoff indulged me as I wondered up and down the aisles looking for ways to use my 20% off coupon. I will outline the books I managed to acquire in a post later this week.\nThe remaining portion of the day was spent working on my story idea. Yea....that's right....I am finally going to take the plunge and attempt to write a book (the word novel scares me). I have read so many books on writing lately that my brain finally said enough --- either do something with this knowledge or move on. So...I am trying to do something with the knowledge. I spent most of the day fleshing out the three main characters and thinking about the chronology of events as they would relate to scenes in the book. If nothing else, this writing endeavor will help me gain a much greater appreciation for published authors. It seems like every decision requires me to go back and rethink other decisions. So far it has been a fun way to pass the time.\nThe rest of my literary weekend will probably involve writing a review for Alice I Have Been (I finished the book two weeks ago and it is due to the library tomorrow - so I have procrastinated long enough) and perhaps begin Alice in Wonderland, since my 9th grade class will be studying the book in about two weeks. I also have some grading to do, but since tomorrow is a holiday, I think I may choose to hold off on that chore.\nI will end this post by sharing my Valentine's Day gift with you. About three years ago I took a group of students to London and my family was able to go as well. While there, Geoff picked up this etching of Stone Henge. Once home, he wasn't quite sure what to do with it, so he put it away. Fast forward to about a month ago when the nook was organized and decorations were needed. Geoff decided that this picture would be the perfect compliment for the room. He had it matted and framed and hung it up for me yesterday. It is on the wall that I stare at while leisurely reading on my couch. Not only will it bring back fond memories, but it will also inspire dreams of future travels. I love it!!\nReview: A Moveable Feast\ncopyright (original) 1964 - restored edition 2009\nI was so inspired by Jeremy Mercer's memoir, Time was Soft There, regarding his time spent in Paris, and in particular at The Shakespeare and Company bookstore, that I decided to read Ernest Hemingway's memoir taking place in the same City of Lights. I don't recall a time when I was so conflicted regarding an opinion about a book. On the one hand, some chapters were beautifully written and spoke to my heart; on the other hand, some chapters seemed rather random and abstract to my way of thinking. If I had a third hand, I would say that I often felt lost in the dark as he spoke about his relationship with Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and F. Scott Fitzgerald --- all notable authors whom I have heard referenced, but unfortunately whom I have not read. I felt as though I really needed to be familiar with their works, if not their own biographies, before I could appreciate these chapters in Hemingway's book.\nAll in all I would say that I am glad that I read this classic memoir, and I am now inspired to read some of Hemingway's classic novels as I feel as though I have insight into the mind of this genius author. Perhaps once after I have read some these enduring works - as well as some of those by the above-mentioned authors, I will gladly re-read A Moveable Feast with a greater appreciation.\nWhile my rating of the book at this first initial read is a mediocre 3 out of 5 stars, I would like to leave you with a few quotes that I found to be most memorable:\nNow what can I say about the title? Mary Hemingway derives it from a reark made by her husband to Aaron Hotchner: \"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.\" (page xii)\nThe final title of the book, A Moveable Feast, was chosen by Mary Hemingway after the author's death....The choice of spelling follows Hemingway's idiosyncratic preference to retain the \"e\" in words ending in \"ing\" and formed from the verbs that ended in \"e.\" It adds the imprint of the author and the \"ea\" in Moveable also makes a pleasant visual repetition with the \"ea\" in Feast. (page 12)\n...It had all been part of the fight against poverty that you never win except by not spending. Especially if you buy pictures instead of clothes. But then we did not think ever of ourselves as poor. We did not accept it. We thought we were superior people and other people that we looked down on and rightly mistrusted were rich. It had never seemed strange to me later on to wear sweatshirts for underwear to keep warm. It only seemed odd to the rich. We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other. (page 43)\nYou got very hungry when you did not eat enough in Paris because all the bakery shops had such good things in the windows and people ate outside at tables on the sidewalk so that you saw and smelled the food. When you were skipping meals at a time when you had given up journalism and were writing nothing that anyone in America would buy, explaining at home that you were lunching out with someone, the best place to do it was the Luxembourg gardens where you saw and smelled nothing to eat all the way from the Place de l'Observatoire to the rue de Vaugirard. There you could always go into the Luxembourg museum and all the paintings were heightened and clearer and more beautiful if you were belly-empty, hollow-hungry. I learned to understand Cezanne much better and to see truly how he made landscapes when I was hungry. I used to wonder if he were hungry too when he painted; but I thought it was possibly only that he had forgotten to eat. It was one of those unsound but illuminating thoughts you have when you have been sleepless or hungry. Later I thought Cezanne was probably hungry in a different way (page 65)\nand finally, I was quite struck by his three page recollection of sitting in a Parisian cafe writing a story in his notebook, drinking rum St. James:\nIt was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old waterproof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write.......\n.....A girl came into the cafe and sat by herself at a table near the window. She was very pretty with a face fresh as a newly minted coin if they minted coins in smooth flesh with rain-freshened skin, and her hair black as crow's wing and cut sharply and diagonally across her cheek.\nI looked at her and she disturbed me and made me very excited. I wished I could put her in the story, or anywhere, but she had placed herself so she could watch the street and the entry and I knew she was waiting for someone. So I went on writing.\nThe story was writing itself and I was having a hard time keeping up with it. I ordered another rum St. James and I watched the girl whenever I looked up, or when I sharpened the pencil with a pencil sharpener with the shavings curling into the saucer under my drink.\nI've seen you, beauty, and you belong to me now, however you are waiting for and if I never see you again, I thought. You belong to me and all Paris belongs to me and I belong to this notebook and this pencil.\nThen I went back to writing and I entered far into the story and was lost in it. I was writing it now and it was not writing itself and I did not look up nor know anything about the time nor think where I was nor order any more rum St. James....Then the story was finished and I was very tired. I read the last paragraph and then I looked up and looked for the girl and she had gone, I hoe she's gone with a good man, I thought. But I felt sad. (page 17-18)\nI am not sure what has changed this week, but I have had to delete dozens and dozens of spam type comments from my posts. It started when I had the title of one post as Harry Potter! and I wondered if that attracted an unwanted crowd. However, since changing that title, I have still had many unsolicited comments living links to who knows what.\nSo....I have temporarily changed my comment status. I now will not allow anonymous identification to comment (which I hope I can disable soon) and I am going to moderate all comments before they post.\nIt is my hope that this will ward off any future unwanted comments and I can return to my friendly-reader status.\nHave any of you experienced this problem? Do you have any other suggestions for me?\nThanks for your understanding in this matter!\nAbout two weeks ago I posted about a wonderful artist, Rachael Rossman, who had just recently painted a watercolor portrait of the Pioneer Woman's faithful basset hound, Charlie. I was immediately taken with this life-like rendition and contacted Rachael about the possibility of immortalizing my two yellow labs, Ralf and Mia. The $400 price tag was definitely not a planned budgetary expense, but both my husband and I felt that this would be money well spent. I sent her several pictures and she immediately began work on the portrait.\nI opened my email yesterday morning and absolutely squealed with glee! Rachael sent me the current work on progress. She told me that the paint was still wet and there is still work left to be done, but she thought I might like to see its progress (and incidently, if you follow the link to her blog above, you will see this work sitting on her desk -- how cool!)\nIt truly brought tears to my eyes! She has totally captured Ralf's vibrant eyes and outgoing personality - which is in stark contrast to Mia's wistful gaze and quiet spirit. Mia always had problems with her ears - ever since she was a puppy - and the lopsided left ear in the portrait is one of her unique qualities that we will all remember.\nI hope you don't become too bored with my updates on the artwork - but these are my babies and I simply cannot contain my excitement. I will definitely write a post once I receive a photo of the finished work. And then possibly a final post when I have it framed and hanging on my nook wall, where they will forever keep me company as I read.\nBTT - Reading Encouragement\nReview Conundrum\nReview: HP book and movie\nTop Ten List for NYC\nReview: Surviving Hitler\nBTT - Snowy Reading\nReview: 8 Minutes in the Morning\nReview: The Swan Thieves",

        "raw_content": "A Couple of Options You Can Consider For Residential Heating Systems\nIf you are constructing a new home, one of the crucial elements that you would need to consider is a heating system. However, it is not advisable to simply select a heating system based on its initial cost. You need to consider how practical it would be for your new property, as well as the long-term operational costs that you would incur. You may find that some heating systems are cheap to install but end up using a considerable amount of energy to run. This will result in increased utility bills for your property. On the other hand, you may find a heating system that is expensive and labour-intensive to install, but which offers you long-term benefits by being energy efficient. The following are a couple of the options you can consider for residential heating systems.\nThis type of heating system operates by having a furnace generate heat, which is then distributed around the property through ductwork installed in the various rooms. You can also use the same type of heating system to cool your home during the summer so you do not have to worry about installing two different types of systems to regulate the temperatures in your home.\nIt should be noted though that the initial installation of the ductwork could cost a pretty penny, especially if the network of ducts is extensive. You would also have to invest in an air filtration system to ensure allergens are not being circulated through the ductwork. Nevertheless, once the ductwork is in place, this type of heating system is quite inexpensive to run long-term.\nThese types of heating systems use hot water to heat the air around your home. Hot water ties are embedded either in the different ceilings of the property or below the floors of the different rooms. Once the water is heated in a boiler, it courses through these tubes and consequently heats the property. If you are looking for an energy efficient heating solution for your home, a radiant heating system would be an ideal choice. It should be noted though that this system comes with a couple of drawbacks. For one, the ambient temperatures may take a while to rise, as the heating system is not automatic. Secondly, since the tubes are embedded below the floor or above ceilings, they can be hard to access in the event that your heating system requires some maintenance.",

Harbored within our genetic material, biophotonsserve as a mode of instantaneous communication from one body part to another and to the extraneous world (4) and their emission is influenced by our global state of health (5). Research even suggests that mental intention and the fabric of our consciousnessis mediated by these quantum of light, which operate as highly coherent frequencies and generate an ordered flux of photons (4).\n1.

It's super heavy handed and familiar and, aside from the crash sequence, felt plodding and slow and hackneyed. I feel like there've been plenty of really authentic portrayals of alcoholism and AA and adiction and all that kind of thing that this movie doesn't really prove worthy against.

        "raw_content": "No I am not an anarchist (am I\u2026?) I am usually a law-abiding citizen, but when a law is outdated stupid, ineffective, unfair or counter-productive I feel a certain duty to break that law.\nFor example the copyright on movies and TV shows is enforced. We have to wait months or maybe even years to legally watch some series and then have to pay large fees for the privilege. We also have the knowledge that many of our friends in other countries are already legally watching these programs.\nThere is no fairly priced, easy and legal way to have access to some of these programs in Australia. If the producers and distributors of these products had any brains they would have created a system for anybody on this planet to have fairly priced access to them years ago. In a case like this where people are faced with such inequality and unfairness it is understandable that piracy is a crime that almost all Australians have committed.\nAnother example of silly laws is drug policy. A number of drugs primarily marijuana I believe should be fully legalised and then taxed in a similar way to cigarettes. This would give farmers a valuable new crop to grow and provide a major new source of revenue for the government. It would also remove massive amounts of capital from criminal enterprises. At the moment marijuana is in a sort of legal no-man\u2019s-land where the laws are very rarely enforced and only for major traffickers or producers. Everybody, that wishes to smoke marijuana already does.\nIt is far more preferable to have the money spent on purchasing this drug in the hands of farmers and government rather than criminals. Our current laws only force people who wish to use this drug to consort with criminals. Some of these drug dealers no doubt sell more harmful, addictive, hard drugs as well. The only argument against legalising marijuana seems to be, \u201cbut that will mean that we are condoning it.\u201d This is just a stupid emotional argument with no basis in fact or logic. Compare it to cigarettes which have always been legal, but nevertheless the tireless effort of the medical community and government have drastically cut the smoking rate. I also don\u2019t need to mention the horrendous unintended consequences from alcohol prohibition in the US.\nAnother major problem with our laws and criminal justice system is that people seem to be detained on an arbitrary basis and not on how much of a threat they are to the community. Child molesters, rapists and other violent criminals I believe should be held in jail on the basis of the chance of reoffending. People who have not committed violent crimes and/or first-time offenders are not a risk to the community should not be in jail. Instead they should be made to perform community service to use their talents to pay compensation to their victims or to benefit society. The current system is basically a university for criminals, turning adolescent mistakes into a career criminals.\nThree word slogan time:\nAbbott fix it!",

        "raw_content": "I have produced two videos for this blog post (actually 3, I just added a new one at 9:20 Dec 26, 2010). The first is my \"short\" version at 1 minute and 51 seconds and my second video is my long version at 5 minutes and 7 seconds. The 3rd video is 8 minutes and 3 seconds and is without any transitions/interruptions and no background music.\nI'm posting all three and adding a request from viewers for their opinions as to which is best, and what I could do to make them better. Feedback would be valuable for me for future video projects. I really would like to make videos that not only capture the excitement of bike racing, but are actually worthy of viewing.\nA little about the race: First here's the race results. (This race is the Pro 1-2. results near the bottom of this link. I, David Henderson was officially 14th.)\nHere's my watt data. First a race overview below:\nAnd an image of the finish data from the last 8 minutes and 28 seconds of the race below:\nAnd here's the course below (St. Louis, Missouri)\nHere's the race flyer below: (My videos on this post are from the Giro Della Montagna Criterium which was held Sept 5, 2010).\nTo learn even more about these races, click here to be taken to the website that is pictured below:\nIt has been requested that I give a bit of supplemental commentary to the above videos and direct my comments to the topic of race tactics and the like. All righty then.\nThe most valuable thing that I can say about the 1st video is my quick field position change (:47 to 1:10). I went from almost the back of the field to the front in a matter of 23 seconds. I did this tactically correct. I used the timing of course location, point of the race (in duration/time), and physics to know when, where, how and why.\nFirst, I choose to advance myself near the end of the race (this is when it is clearly critical). Secondly I choose the uphill side of the course because I would get more purchase for spending energy going up a hill vs going down a hill (speed from power related to aerodynamics and gravity). Third, I began my advance immediately after the corner. I was already going near full hard coming out of the corner. Instead of letting off and staying in the draft I remained full throttle (a body in motion tends to stay in motion) and charged up the left side. I could see that the pack wasn't all strung out in a straight line (this meant the pack was not at full speed. It is best not to advance when a field is single file). Lastly I tried to reinsert myself into the draft with ease before a turn. I try not to advance through turns, but racing sometimes requires this.\nThe most valuable thing that I can say about the 2nd video is toilet paper. It's one of the primary reasons that I started from the back (I was late to the line). Let me explain. I arrived at the race with just enough time to prepare for the race, which included \"heaving a Havana\" or \"taking the Browns to the Super Bowl\" (also known as \"putting one through the hoop\" or \"pulling into defecation station\").\nTo my chagrin all of the port-a-johns were out of toilet paper except for possibly one. A lady had entered it just before me. I had determined that all the others were sin paper. That particular stall was my only hope. All I had to do was wait for her to exit to find out.\nSo I waited. And I waited. And I waited. More than 10 minutes later nothing. I even knocked a few times just to make sure that she hadn't fallen in. I couldn't believe that she hadn't come out! It was near 90 degrees outside...... and the smell! Good God man!\nWell, she never came out (as far as I know, she's still in there). I did come up with a solution, but I will leave a little mystery here. My advice to all (including myself) bring you own toilet paper to races. It is not uncommon for port-a-johns to run out of paper. In fact, it's probably a good idea to hit a public restroom somewhere just before arriving at the race site if possible.\nFinally, the third and last video shows the last eight minutes of the race. It might of have been nice to show the last ten minutes because basically I was following Brad Huff (pro- Jelly Belly). He told me to stick with him and I did, which lead to us getting into a break-a-way.\nI made at least two errors. One, I was touching my breaks on the lower two turns. This actually wasn't necessary. A few times I was ok, but overall I was poor in my confidence. The other error is a bit more forgivable. I didn't see the field catching us just before the last 2 turns. I wasn't looking back at all. I was just concentrating on making it through the last 2 turns.\nYou can see in the video that Brian Jensen bridged up from the field to us and then attacked my group just before the bell lap. Brad Huff reeled him back in and countered him. All I could do was keep my speed up and reattach gradually. Brian did eventually surrender, and my group of three were quickly swallowed up in the turns and following sprint.\nAfter the race Brad said that if he hadn't been in the break that probably the field (several pro riders) wouldn't have chased quite so hard and Brian said that we all would have had a better chance had he not attacked us and instead we all worked together.\nWho knows, it's not terribly important. There were two riders up the course who were successful, and we all gave it a good try.\nFor another perspective of the race read Steve Tilford's account.\nHere's a few still images (more can be found from the link above).\nThe above image is a frame grab from my HD Hero camera that was mounted to my bike. This image can be seen in the longer video clip above around 4:35, which is the last corner of the race leading to the final sprint. Pictured here is Eric Young who won the field sprint.\nSome other notable riders in this video include Brad Huff @ 4:00, Brian Jensen@4:10, Steve Tilford @ 4:33, Daniel Holloway @ 4:36.\nOf course there are many other fantastic racers beyond my short list, including Jonathan Jacobs who actually won the race! He's not in my video because he was to busy winning this race with his break-a-way companion, Robert Bush.\nClick here to learn more about the camera I use to video my races. They can do much more than just record cycling!\nillinihand December 24, 2010 at 12:46 PM\nHi Dave, LOVE The videos man! Thanks for taking the time to do them. The one thing that I really liked about some of your other videos was you would do a play by play of what was going on down at the bottom of the screen.\nAlso I don't know if this is possible or would hurt your riding aerodynamics too much but it would be really cool to have camera views on the side of your bike. That way you could almost make a 360* view of the race from your bike.\nAgain thanks for all the hard work and I look forward to cheering for you this year.\nDavid Henderson December 24, 2010 at 4:55 PM\nNick, I appreciate your comment and agree. I forgot to give the play by play for this race post. I will certainly add it in the next day or so.\nAlso concerning the 360 view, I don't think I would recommend it for racing, but it would be brilliant for documenting certain \"beautiful rides\" such as bike vacations and the like.\nIt can easily be accomplished by making a camera platform (3 cameras at 120 degree angles) and then mounting it on a helmet. The videos can be all added on one screen with a little cropping as necessary.\nRick Lee December 25, 2010 at 6:15 PM\nLove your videos, the double camera gives the sensation of actually being in the race more than any other videos I've seen. The longer video was much better.I wish you would add some commentary, like announcing the bell lap. The short version wasn't long enough to give a feel for the race and I felt the camera tricks when cutting to different segments just shortened an already too short video.\nI check your blog frequently for new material, enjoy your posts and am looking forward to more videos. The aero move you pull with your forearms on the bars is something I've never seen in crits, very impressive and I'm sure you worked up to it gradually.\nRick, thanks for the feedback. I entirely agree. As a result I have added a third video (with the bell lap marked) The video is near the max that YouTube will allow me (2 GB is the max), and I did not add any music (basically unedited footage). It really tells the tale.\nAs a result of your input I plan on posting an entire race in one blog post. The videos will be in order and labeled in a series (such as 1 of 10).\nI realy enjoy your videos. They capture the \"race feel\" as well as anything I have seen. What I try to learn from the videos is race tactics, especially towards the finish of a race, the last 3K or so. I think, like the other comentators, the more commentary and analysis that you can put in, either in the video or in text is helpful for me. I would also love to see your wattage numbers at times to see how far behind you I would be!\nThanks again, Steve Garvin.\nDavid Henderson December 26, 2010 at 10:00 PM\nSteve, I just added the watt data. I hope that is helpful. It is important to know my weight in order to have a better understanding. At the time of the race I was around 165lbs or 74.84 kilos. I think my bicycle is around 15.5 pounds or 7 kilos. The watt numbers are with zeros averaged in (not pedaling/coasting). I don't think normalized wattage is very helpful for understanding a full effort.\nI will do a race analysis shortly. Hopefully tomorrow after some coffee.\nI must say just watching your videos gets my blood pumping\u2026 great stuff Dave!! I\u2019m a novice to the sport but can\u2019t get enough it (despite the fact that I still struggle at the back of the pack) I follow your blog faithfully and I have learned tons about racing from all the material you generously had added to your blog. I personally like the second video and yes adding footnotes helps me to understand the tactics of the race. Thanks again for the time and effort you take into create this blog and looking forward to more of your videos.\nH-Espino",

Whatever your interests, you\u2019ll find a welcoming atmosphere at Phi Delta Theta. We follow three simple principles that make us exemplary members of the community. These principles are friendship, sound learning, and moral rectitude.\nFriendship can mean a lot of different things, depending on how it\u2019s used. To us friendship is taken to the next level, creating a brotherhood that grows past college and lasts forever. The brotherhood of Phi Delta Theta extends beyond the Kettering chapter, as Phi Delts worldwide are always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need of help or just looking for a friend.\nSound learning, is another principle that Phi Delts live by. We came to college just like you, to expand our knowledge and continue our education. It makes no sense to join a Fraternity if you cannot focus on your education. At Phi Delta Theta, we put the education of our members and our friends as a top priority. If you are having trouble in any subject, there is a Phi Delt willing to help.\nThe third principle we follow is moral rectitude. One of our founding fathers, Robert Morrison, said it best: \u201cTo do what ought to be done but would not have been done unless I did it, I thought to be my duty.\u201d This means being honorable and honest at all times, having a deep sense of responsibility towards one another, and looking out for every brother.\nThese three principles are the basis for being a Phi, but Phi Delts are much, much more. To get a good understanding of what it truly means to be a Phi, you will have to speak with one of our members. Our house is always open and welcoming of guests looking for more.\nPhi Delts\nwww.phideltatheta.org\nMichigan Delta\nArgent and Azure\nDuck Race, Valet Parking, Big Brothers Big Sisters\nBenjamin Harrison, Niel Armstrong, Burt Reynolds\nMitch Willing\nwill4505@kettering.edu\nNathan Hawker\nhawk0764@kettering.edu",

With the latest database, companies now also have a means to compare their reporting \u2014 and performance \u2014 to that of their peers, and compare it to the questions of the Reporting Framework.\u201d \u2013 Lauren Compere, Managing Director at Boston Common Asset Management",

Now, I\u2019d urge those people and more to take part in this final consultation and help the council as we try to ensure the air that we breathe is as clean as possible.\n\u201cThe quality of the air has a huge impact on our quality of life. Pollution impacts everyone\u2019s health and well-being, but it has a disproportionate effect on the most vulnerable \u2013 children, older people and those with health conditions. Improving air quality is vital if we want to make Croydon not only cleaner and greener but also safer.\n\u201cIn order to improve health, the council\u2019s committed to reducing the exposure of people in Croydon to poor air quality. We\u2019re asking residents to work with us and I hope everyone will get involved by taking part in this final consultation to help us draw up our plan of action.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "World\u2019s Most Sensitive Radio Telescope Peeks at Our Local Supermassive Black Hole\nA multi-year project to explore the universe in new ways is one step closer to completion. South Africa has finally switched on a highly sensitive radio telescope called MeerKAT, which is part of a global project called the Square Kilometer Array. With MeerKAT online, scientists can scan the sky and peer through the dust and gas obscuring the view of traditional telescopes. To show what the array can do, researchers have released the above image of the core of the Milky Way. Yes, that\u2019s a black hole.\nMeerKAT consists of 64 dishes, each one 13.5 meters in diameter. Because it sees in radio frequencies instead of the visual spectrum, it can collect data from objects that are hidden within clouds of dust and gas. Parts of the instrument have been collecting such data since construction began back in 2016, but only now is the instrument up to full-strength. The above image is the first one captured with the complete MeerKAT array.\nThat image depicts the center of our galaxy, which is home to a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* (pronounced Sagittarius A Star). Being in the galactic plane as we are, it\u2019s difficult to collect any data at all on this object in the visual spectrum. MeerKAT uses a technique called interferometry, allowing all the separate dishes to act as a single instrument. Each one collects infinitesimally faint radio signals from the sky so they can be combined and filtered to produce data that astronomers can use.\nOne of 64 MeerKAT dishes in South Africa.\nThe bright central flare in the first MeerKAT image is Sagittarius A* some 25,000 light years away. Around that are other intense radio sources like supernova remnants and star-forming regions closer to the center of the galaxy. As for those filaments all over the image, that\u2019s a bit of a mystery. They only exist near Sagittarius A*, but they could be a feature of all supermassive black holes when viewed from relatively close by.\nWork to integrate the MeerKAT with other Square Kilometer Array instruments won\u2019t start until around 2020. The project, which will cover large swaths of land in South Africa and Australia, will eventually become the largest radio telescope in the world. As the name implies, the goal is to have a square kilometer of total collection surface area. The project could be complete as soon as 2022. MeerKAT itself will be conducting observations on its own in several months.",

Such subpoenas, which are known as national security letters, do not require the bureau to seek a judge's approval before issuing them.\nThe measure now awaiting final approval in Congress would significantly broaden the law to include securities dealers, currency exchanges, car dealers, travel agencies, post offices, casinos, pawnbrokers and any other institution doing cash transactions with \"a high degree of usefulness in criminal, tax or regulatory matters.\"\nOfficials said the measure, which is tucked away in the intelligence community's authorization bill for 2004, gives agents greater flexibility and speed in seeking to trace the financial assets of people suspected of terrorism and espionage. It mirrors a proposal that President Bush outlined in a speech two months ago to expand the use of administrative subpoenas in terrorism cases.\nCritics said the measure would give the federal government greater power to pry into people's private lives.\n\"This dramatically expands the government's authority to get private business records,\" said Timothy H. Edgar, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. \"You buy a ring for your grandmother from a pawnbroker, and the record on that will now be considered a financial record that the government can get.\"\nThe provision is in the authorization bills passed by both houses of Congress. Some Democrats have begun to question whether the measure goes too far and have hinted that they may try to have it pulled when the bill comes before a House-Senate conference committee. Other officials predicted that the measure would probably survive any challenges in conference and be signed into law by President Bush, in part because the provisions already approved in the House and the Senate are identical.\nThe intelligence committees considered the proposal at the request of George J. Tenet, the director of central intelligence, officials said. Officials at the C.I.A. and the Justice Department declined to comment on Tuesday about the measure.\nA senior Congressional official who supports the provision said that \"this is meant to provide agents with the same amount of flexibility in terrorism investigations that they have in other types of investigations.\"\n\"This was really just a technical change to reflect the new breed of financial institutions,\" the official added.\nAsked what had prompted the measure, the official said: \"This is coming from 3,000 dead people. There's an ever-expanding universe of places where terrorists can hide financial transactions, and it's only prudent and wise to anticipate where they might be and to give law enforcement the tools that they need to find them.\"\nChristopher Wray, the Justice Department's assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division, also addressed the issue last month at a Senate hearing.\nMr. Wray said that compared with the antiterrorism law that allowed agents to demand business records with court approval, the F.B.I.'s administrative subpoenas were more limited. The administrative subpoenas \"do provide for production of some records,\" he said, but \"they don't cover as many types of business records.\"",

        "raw_content": "South Moat Mountain\nTrailhead and parking area are on Passaconaway Road in Albany, NH. From the junction of Rt. 153 and Rt. 113 in Conway, go north on Washington Street. In 0.2 miles, bear left onto West Side Road. Continue 0.7 miles, then turn left onto Passaconaway Road. The parking area is 3.2 miles down the road, on the right. It is 2.7 miles to South Moat on Moat Mountain Trail.\nMoat Mountain is the dominant mountain mass west of North Conway. It is the easternmost mountain on the main ridgeline of the Moat Range. Moat itself is a long north-south running ridge, with many peaks along the crest and many more spurs extending in all directions, including many of the cliffs above the far east end of the Kancamagus Highway. The three most significant peaks on the main ridge are designated as North, Middle, and South Moat Mountain and are all crossed by the Moat Mountain Trail. These three all have open rocky summits with spectacular 360-degree panoramas. South Moat is the easiest to access, and it is a scenic and very rewarding hike. Continuing to North Moat doubles the distance and increases the difficulty, so for the hike to both, see South and North Moat Mountains.\nThe trail starts in an area of recent logging. The beginning of the trail has been relocated to avoid the logging landings. Leaving the far left corner of the parking area (rather than up the gated logging road), the trail winds through the forest near a logged clearing. It climbs around a small hill and descends to cross a brook, then switchbacks steeply up the other side, soon crossing an older logging road. Swinging around the hillside, the trail traverses across the slope, high above Dry Brook. At one mile, the trail descends to cross this brook on a wooden bridge. After a few short climbs and flat areas, the trail steepens and becomes rocky, soon entering forested ledges. It climbs moderately for a while before turning a corner to begin the steepest part of the trail. Several difficult and very rocky pitches lead to the first of the open ledges, 0.9 miles from the brook. Here, there is a good view south to the Ossipees and southwest to Mt. Chocorua. The trail now ascends mostly over open rock, with a few sections through the woods. Blazes may be difficult to follow on the ledges. The ledges may be occasionally slippery. It continues upward, with increasing views, first limited views to the southeast, then more open views to the east, south, and west. The trail steepens near the top and the views culminate in the amazing panorama from South Moat's summit.\nThe views from the Moat Mountains are among the best in the region. To the west, you look out over the Sandwich Range and the valley of the Kancamagus Highway. To the northwest, over the rest of the Moat Range, you look into the center of the White Mountains. To the north are Middle and North Moat. Just to the right of North Moat is the Presidential Range, with the Carter-Moriah Range to the right of that. To the east are the Baldface Range, Mt. Kearsarge North, and the Green Hills, with the flat expanse of western Maine beyond. To the south, the view extends far into southern New Hampshire.",

        "raw_content": "Attorney: Prince arranged to meet addiction doctor\nSinger/musician Prince makes an announcement at The Apollo Theater on October 14, 2010 in New York City. (Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)\nThe day before Prince died, his representatives reached out to a California doctor who specializes in addiction treatment to arrange a meeting, a Minneapolis lawyer for the doctor said Wednesday.\nAttorney William Mauzy said Dr. Howard Kornfeld had never met or spoken to Prince before Prince's representatives contacted him on April 20 with the musician's knowledge. Mauzy, confirming details first reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, said Kornfeld wasn't able to travel immediately to Minnesota, so he arranged for his son Andrew to go instead.\nAndrew Kornfeld took a late flight on April 20 so he could be at Prince's Paisley Park studio complex the next morning. When he got there, Andrew Kornfeld was one of three people to find Prince in an elevator, unresponsive, and it was he who called 911, the attorney said.\nMauzy also said the elder Kornfeld arranged for a Minnesota doctor to evaluate Prince, and that the doctor had cleared his schedule for the following morning. But Prince was found unresponsive before that could happen, he said.\n\"Dr. Kornfeld was never able to meet Prince, never talked to Prince, and sadly, unable to arrive in time to help Prince,\" Mauzy told reporters.\nMauzy said Andrew Kornfeld was carrying a small amount of buprenorphine, which Howard Kornfeld says on his website is a treatment option for patients with addiction issues that offers pain relief with less possibility of overdose and addiction. But Mauzy said Andrew Kornfeld never intended to give the medication to Prince, and instead planned to give it to the Minnesota doctor who was scheduled to see Prince.\nMauzy said Andrew Kornfeld has been questioned by investigators. When asked by reporters about the legality of his carrying buprenorphine, Mauzy declined to answer. But he said he believes Minnesota law would protect Andrew Kornfeld from any potential charges related to Prince's death.\nUnder the law, a person who seeks medical assistance for someone who is overdosing on drugs may not be prosecuted for possessing or sharing controlled substances, under certain circumstances.\nMauzy said it was not uncommon for Howard Kornfeld to send his son on his behalf. He said Andrew Kornfeld is a pre-med student and that convincing people to seek treatment is something \"he has done for years.\"\nA law enforcement official briefed on the investigation has told The Associated Press that investigators are looking into whether Prince died from an overdose. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk about the investigation. The same official also said investigators are looking at whether Prince had suffered an overdose when his plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois, less than a week before he died.\nHoward Kornfeld runs Recovery Without Walls in Mill Valley, California. His website describes the practice as \"specializing in innovative, evidence-based medical treatment for chronic pain and drug and alcohol addiction.\" Andrew Kornfeld is listed on the website as a practice consultant.\nMauzy said Prince's representatives told Howard Kornfeld that the singer was \"dealing with a grave medical emergency.\" He declined Wednesday to detail the emergency, and also declined to identify the doctor.\nMauzy said Dr. Kornfeld hoped to get Prince \"stabilized in Minnesota and convince him to come to Recovery Without Walls in Mill Valley. That was the plan.\"\nStuart Gitlow, an addiction medicine expert speaking without direct knowledge of Prince's case, questioned whether Howard Kornfeld and his son acted appropriately.\n\"If a physician feels that a patient is having an emergency, his obligation is to call an ambulance and get the patient to emergency personnel who can assess the situation -- not to fly to the patient,\" Gitlow said.\n\"It's not routine for doctors to fly across the country to start people on buprenorphine,\" said Gitlow, a past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine and a faculty member of the University of Florida. \"That's something that can be handled locally.\"\nAuthorities haven't released a cause of death. An autopsy was done the day after Prince's death, but its findings, including the toxicology results, weren't expected for as many as four weeks.\nPrince had a reputation for clean living, and some friends said they never saw any sign of drug use. But longtime friend and collaborator Sheila E. has told the AP that Prince had physical issues from performing, citing hip and knee problems that she said came from years of jumping off risers and stage speakers in heels.",

Although he has been in the music business since 1978 (when he signed his first recording contract) and still performs today, he never equaled the commercial success of 'Romeo\u2019s Tune.' His signature song peaked at #11 on the charts after being released in 1979 (but it didn\u2019t chart until 1980).\nFun fact: Steve Forbert played Cyndi Lauper\u2019s boyfriend in the music video for 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun.' Fun fact #2: The famous piano riff in 'Romeo\u2019s Tune' was played by Elvis Presley\u2019s pianist, Bobby Ogdin. Forbert wound up relocating to Nashville in the mid-80s and has written songs for Keith Urban and Rosanne Cash, among others and he continues to tour.\nBig Joe did not play my request.\nSee more entries from Bill Doyle's \u2018Not-So-Top-10\u2032 List\nFiled Under: Doyles Playlist",

        "raw_content": "Metallica Eye \u2018Full-On Touring\u2019 in January, Reveal \u2018Hardwired\u2019 Behind the Scenes Recording Video\nThe reviews have been mostly positive, with fans salivating over the heaviness and speed of the chaotic new Metallica song \"Hardwired.\" The track made its live debut over the weekend in Minneapolis, but a look at the current tour schedule shows that not many dates are booked for the remainder of the year. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, drummer Lars Ulrich reveals that the band will expand their touring in 2017.\n\"We did 180 shows on the Death Magnetic tour in two-week periods over three years,\" says Ulrich. \"That's what works for us. We're going to start pretty much full-on touring in January and are looking to figure out what we're doing in North America, but there will definitely be some pretty extensive touring in America.\"\nThough Metallica have remained a presence on the road in recent years, they haven't booked a full American arena tour since 2009. \"It's time to come back and do some proper penetration of America,\" says Ulrich, who adds that the band is currently deciding how many new songs they'll work into their sets. \"We're itching to play them,\" the drummer says. \"Right now, every day when we get into the Tuning Room we're just playing the new songs. Then we're like, 'Wait, we gotta get out there and play 'Master of Puppets.'\"\nMeanwhile, those who are crushing on Metallica's new \"Hardwired\" single can get a closer look at how the track once described as \"Riff Charge\" came to be in a new behind-the-scenes video that can be seen above. \"The mission statement is to write an opening song for this next record that is super thrashy and fast and aggro,\" says Ulrich in the video, as he and James Hetfield work out the beats and tempo of the track. Hetfield even discusses a drum pattern he thinks might work well in the song and his joy at hearing part of the song ends up being a cool unintentional extra as we hear him laugh. Hetfield also reveals how the album's title came to be. Watch the video in full above.\nAnd, if you like what you've heard so far, Metallica's Hardwired ... To Self-Destruct album will arrive Nov. 18 via Blackened Recordings.\nMetallica Timeline: From Death Magnetic to Hardwired ...

        "raw_content": "Barely 26 years old, Uju Marshall is one of the most popular models in Nigeria right now. She\u2019s the new fashion heartthrob whom designers are obsessing over, winner of several modelling awards, this beauty opens up on her journey, her aspirations and the Nigerian modeling industry.\nBorn in Enugu State, Eastern Nigeria, she got scouted by an agency back in 2010, while still an economics student at university. Only 19 years old at the time and a move to Lagos later, her career simply took off: from fashion editorials in magazines to becoming the face of beauty brands and the very best Nigerian designers (Orange Culture, Iamisigo, Andreah Iyamah), not to mention her win as best model of 2014 at the Lagos Fashion & Design Week then her nomination at the 2016 Nigerian Entertainment Awards. Uju Marshall is a star on the rise and one of the African top models to keep a close eye on.\nI love everything about modelling. I love being photographed, to connect with people\u2019s ideas and to make it come to life. Modelling is also a way of expressing myself in different angles and lights, to express something inside me that you can\u2019t physically see, but when i\u2019m walking the runway or posing for a photograph you just see it.\nWhen designers choose me for a lookbook, it means a lot because they trust me, see something inside of me to that can interpret their brand and story and I really appreciate that opportunity.\nIs it hard being a model in Africa?\nI think modelling is hard everywhere, but the challenges are not the same in Africa. People neglect the industry of modelling in Africa, they don\u2019t really take it seriously. If you say you\u2019re a model people are telling you \u201cAre you a prostitute?\u201d It\u2019s not really established as something you can do as a profession. Hopefully, things are changing and it\u2019s growing from year to year. For example, in Nigeria we don\u2019t have a lot companies related to modelling. When I began my career in 2010, at that time there were only 2 modeling agencies, now there are much more. International press are coming to our fashion weeks, which is more exposure for designers, models and photographers. I think to push modelling in Nigeria, we need to convince investors to invest in the real established agencies that we already have and to develop scouting. But, because of the lack of funds and sponsorship, Nigerian modelling agencies are struggling.\n\u00ab I want to leave my comfort zone and enter into the international market by booking campaigns \u00bb\nAre you making a living of modelling?\nAt the level at which I am, I\u2019m making a living of it. But I can\u2019t guarantee you it\u2019s also like that for everyone.\nWhat do you think of the African fashion scene in Nigeria?\nThe African fashion scene in Nigeria is taken seriously now. Everyone is trying to create something that will appeal not just to Africans but to the world in general. Back in the days, African designers only used prints. Today, they are no longer fall only into the stereotype of Dutch wax prints. Now it\u2019s going beyond that and it\u2019s deeper and deeper because they are very creative and taking inspiration from their heritage.\nYou won a lot of prizes, work for amazing designers, what is the next step or goal for you?\nI want to leave my comfort zone and enter into the international market by booking campaigns\u2026 And I believe it\u2019s possible. Personally, I don\u2019t like to limit myself because of what people can say, like that in the international market they don\u2019t like African models or that they don\u2019t book black models. Maybe they don\u2019t, but it doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not going to happen. I think the right time hasn\u2019t come for me now, but I will keep on trying and working to achieve this dream.\nWhat could you advise girls who would love to model?\nMy advice to anyone is to be patient in life. If you have no patience, you\u2019ll never get to the right direction. Then, vision is key because without the vision, you have no destination.\nI love Gozel Green because they are very creative, play around with cuts and colors. I love as wel,l Maki Oh. She\u2019s very precise, minimalist, chic and I love the way she pays attention to details. And I\u2019m also in love with Orange culture, it\u2019s easy to wear, fun and unisex.\nDo you have a beauty ritual?\nI don\u2019t do much, so my beauty routine is very simple : i drink a lot of water, i exfoliate my face 3 times a week, mask my face once a week and moisturise my body with shea butter.\nUju Marshall, the Nigerian \u2026",

When you are employed, you will have to obey all the rules laid out by your boss. It is unfortunate that you are obligated to inform your boss if you have to do anything that affects your work ethic. This is the main reason why people like working from home because they want to be independent. If you are working in an office, you have to take note of how you dress. One thing you have to check out when going for an interview is your general appearance. The first impression you create on your first day at the workplace will determine whether you get the job or not. The factors highlighted below will allow you to form a comparison of whether working from home is more beneficial as compared to working in an office.\nOne of the key benefits of working from home is that you can change your look based on your interests. For example, if you like tattoos, you have a chance to smear your body with as many tattoos as possible. One of the official rules in many organisations is that no tattoos are allowed. The main reason for this is that they are very strict when it comes to the general appearance of the workers. However, when you work from home, there are no any restrictions to the number of tattoos you can put in your body. The main reason from this is that you are your boss and you make the rules.\nAnother appearance that you cannot execute when working in an office is having your ears pierced. There are things that the boss cannot tolerate because most of the offices have a particular dressing code. In these kinds of offices, you are not allowed to pierce your ears. People will perceive it as lewdness. However, being your boss will allow you to pierce your ears without anyone questioning you. The main reason for this is that working from home is all about productivity.\nAnother appearance issue that is very crucial when you are working in an office is your dressing code and several things like hair neatness. According to the office rules, the workers are required to wear a suit when they come to work. It is not everyone who is comfortable with this dressing code. However, when you work from home, you have the freedom to dress however you want, and nobody will be on your case.\nIn conclusion, productivity increases when people are more comfortable. The main thing that people should understand is that the money you make is the most important thing.\nIdeas For Hiring A Construction Company\nBuilding a custom home is one of the best choices when one is looking to invest in a home. One of the primary reasons why you need to opt for a custom home is the fact that the construction of the home will give you the best opportunity to own a house that matches your desired design. Unlike in the case of an already built home where one will have no chance to determine the design of the house, a custom home will give you the opportunity to decide the design of the house and even select the custom features and fixtures that will be in the home.\nApart from a new construction, one will also need to find the best contractor when they want to give a home a new look. If you have invested in a pre-owned home, it is possible to ensure that the home matches you dream design through a remodeling project. You will not only focus on the aesthetic value of the house when you choose a remodeling project, but you will also have the chance to enhance functionality. Keep reading as we outline the key areas of concern when one is out to find the best construction company for their project.\nOne of the primary areas of concern when picking a contractor is determining if they have the credentials to prove that they are qualified for the job. One should be keen to find out if the contractor has a license to offer their services in the area. A license will indicate that the company you are about to hire has been authorized to offer services in the area and this means that the contractor understands the local construction regulations.\nCases of injuries, as well as damage to property, are common during the construction projects. Every homeowner will want to ensure that they do not pay any extra cost even when an accident happens and this is only possible if one chooses to engage an insured construction company.\nIt is also desirable that one learns the level of knowledge that comes with the construction contractor they are about to engage. It is possible to determine the contractor\u2019s expertise by checking the number of years that they have been providing the services. It is advisable that one chooses a construction company that has been offering the services for some years.\nThe reputation of a given construction company is also one of the critical determinants when selecting the company to take charge of your project. When one is keen to learn the reputation of a given contractor, the online reviews as well as testimonials written by their former clients will be informative, but one can also take time and visit one of the projects managed by the contractor to get a firsthand account of what to expect if you engage the company.\nThe Reasons Why Offline Marketing is Beneficial\nAn average business will always invest at least one percent of their annual profits in advertising.

Greens of Guadalupe is a parish group at Our Lady of Guadalupe. The group is supported and led by members from the parish. Greens of Guadalupe at Our Lady of Guadalupe is an example of parish best practice organizing.\nGreens of Guadalupe was formed in March 2007 after the late Fr. Darrell Rupiper OMI preached a workshop on integrity of creation to parishioners. The mission of the group is to protect, conserve and foster respect for earth\u2019s natural resources by educating and guiding the people of Laraedo in order to create and preserve a healthy environment for future. The group\u2019s slogan is PLANTING GREEN SEEDS.\nThe Greens of Guadalupe continue to meet on a monthly basis and have participated in several local environmental projects.

        "raw_content": "Hush Blog Tour & Giveaway: Lynn Kelling\nPublisher: Enspire Publishing\nGuest Post \u2013 Lynn Kelling: Taking on Hate Groups: Gay Fiction in the age of Trump\nMy new release, Hush, was written in the early days of Donald Trump\u2019s presidency, when it became quickly common to see a rise in bigotry as white supremacist groups grabbed the proverbial mic. As the author, I didn\u2019t try to separate the atmosphere at the time in the real world with the environment of the book. Instead, I let the cultural shock and alarm infuse the energy of restless revolution that takes hold of the main character, Rune, after he\u2019s targeted and deliberately attacked by a local hate group.\nIn my personal opinion, a way to explain what\u2019s happening in the world right now is that the straight white men have been used to being the ones in charge, with primary control at many levels of society, for as long as we can remember. But, now? Not so much. Equality is spreading across the globe and it terrifies those seeing their power drained away by others they have always considered to be beneath them.\nIn a way, our main character, Rune, benefitted from being a (closeted) white man living in contemporary USA. During his early twenties, Rune escaped close scrutiny while skirting the law, selling drugs to make cash and basically doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. He was part of a motorcycle group, the Born Soldiers, who he knew would always have his back if anything happened. But after being set up on a fake date by members of local white supremacist group, the White Lions, Rune had his bike run off the road by the rival crew. His injuries instantly and permanently changed the entire course of his life.\nSuddenly vulnerable, being completely deaf, unable to easily communicate with those around him, Rune is left to find other ways to make his voice heard.\nLike a lot of us, at the beginning of this story, Rune has reached a point of feeling that enough is enough. His breaking point shifts his previously self-interested point of view to one of seeking justice, not only for himself but for all others like him. When words aren\u2019t heard, actions need to speak instead.\nIt was impossible for me to approach this story without taking into account the feelings intensifying in our world, right now and every day. We can no longer turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to the bigotry, fear, and careless hate of those in our families, neighborhoods, and government. Each of us, in our own ways, needs to identify with where our loyalties lie, and what we\u2019re not willing to sacrifice to the greed and selfishness of others. It\u2019s not just about sexual orientation, or gender, or religion, or race, or nationality. It\u2019s about all of those and more. Simple respect. Basic human kindness. Sincere compassion for other human beings who are really not much different than you and I.\nThere are some people in Rune\u2019s life who try to quell his fervent desire to make a difference, to stop violence against the innocent, and to stand up for what\u2019s right. They think he should focus on himself, to stay out of the way, stay quiet so he doesn\u2019t get hurt again. But when fear counters fear, no one wins.\nRune\u2019s voice isn\u2019t a literal one. He speaks only a handful of words in the entire book, but nevertheless, he has plenty to say. I hope his example shows that no matter who you are, or what limitations you think you face, there are always ways to defend your basic human rights, and to say enough is enough.\nRune Tooby is a smartassed Jewish rebel and closeted gay biker with the Born Soldiers motorcycle gang. Rune\u2019s life centered on casual sex and less-than-legal employment, until a pickup truck full of Neo-Nazis rammed into his bike, destroying his hearing and shattering his life. Learning to live deaf and silent overwhelmed Rune, sending him to humbly beg help from the last people he trusts completely: the rich and powerful Dominants of the Manse, who trained Rune in the arts of BDSM.\nOliver Hughes, cocky day trader and sexual Dominant, lives a life of indulgent luxury. Despite this, he feels adrift and unneeded since his beloved submissive, Jackson Whitney, became absorbed into life as a family man and cardiologist, leaving him little time for his Master. When a meeting between Rune and Oliver is carefully arranged by the leaders of Manse, it starts a wild ride, sweeping up everyone who gets too close to the explosive pair. Rune and Oliver find themselves on a path filled with frustrating miscommunications, rage-filled vengeance, and painfully unearthed secrets.

Residents fear it will make them sick. Photo By Joanna Bouras\nStudents, teachers, residents, and counselors from Harlem, Yorkville, and the New York City Housing Authority, marched through drizzle on the Upper East Side yesterday afternoon. They protested and chanted about the construction of the East 91st St. Marine Transfer Station, a garbage dump they worry will destroy their neighborhood and their health.\n\u201cWe want safe streets, we don\u2019t want cancer, we don\u2019t want asthma, hey ho de Blasio,\u201d the protestors chanted.\nThey held signs that read, \u201cI am not invisible #dump the dump.\u201d Some children wore face masks to represent the facility\u2019s risks to their lungs.\n\u201cWe need to protect our community from air pollution, vermin, and danger from garbage trucks,\u201d said Joy Tutiven, of the Upper East Side. \u201cWe already have one of the highest air pollution rates in the city.\u201d\nResidents hope that the station can be built farther away so they won\u2019t get sick. They worry the pollution will cause asthma and other health problems.\nFrank Baraff, 68, a publicist for the organization Pledge 2 Protect, the organizers of the march, doesn\u2019t think the facility should be built at all.\n\u201cIt\u2019s an obsolete technology,\u201d said Baraff. \u201cWe need something better for going forward, such as a better solution for recycling.\nPledge 2 Protect was originally founded to raise awareness about the dangers of the facility. They have since expanded to protect all New Yorkers from the potential health dangers of waste dumps in residential areas.\nThe Marine Transfer Station, which is scheduled to open in 2016, is a direct response to the 10,000 tons of trash New Yorkers make everyday. The facility is part of then Mayor Bloomberg\u2019s Solid Waste Management Plan, which proposed cutting back on the use of trucks for transporting garbage and instead have the boroughs deal with their own waste. The facility on East 91st Street would be the only one of its kind in a residential neighborhood.\n\u201cTrucks six days a week, 24 hours a day and night,\u201d said Tutiven. \u201cPeople won\u2019t be able to sleep with these huge dirty commercial trucks.\u201d\nThere are many schools and after school programs in the area, residents said. Parents said they are worried about their children\u2019s safety as well as elderly residents.\n\u201cTrucks go fast someone will get hit,\u201d said Nelma Elsayed, 34, a local resident and mother of 3-year-old.\nBaraff said that people assume the Upper East Side is a bunch of \u201crich white people,\u201d when in reality those who are being directly affected are mostly the minorities who live in public housing.\n\u201cWe are a very diverse neighborhood,\u201d said Barbara Heyman, 80, of the Upper East Side.\nHeyman said she is worried that the station would hurt real estate values.\n\u201cThose who are renting real estate are going to leave and brownstone properties aren\u2019t going to sell, she said. \u201cEveryone\u2019s taxes will go up and there will be nothing for us to do.\u201d\nBut the project is already half constructed and has gone far over budget. The costs ballooned from $44 million to $215 million.\nBaraff is unsure of what the outcome of the protests will be. He hopes that money, time and energy will be redirected towards recycling advances that will better benefit the state as a whole.\n\u201cIf we mandate a higher standard of recycling we can reduce the amount of garbage we have, and the need for a facility like this becomes obsolete,\u201d he said.\nTags: dump, East 91st St. Marine Transfer Station, garbage, New Yorkers, Pledge 2 Protect, Protest, waste management",

I got an idea of developing bird nests in my back yard trees. This bird nest inspired my friends to adopt this creativity and by seeing me they are also making many bird nests.

        "title": "Westfield Heritage Village celebrates history and ice cream - People of Hamilton",
        "raw_content": "For many years, the ice cream festival has been a staple at Westfield Heritage Village. What started as a festival turned into a carnival a few years ago with traditional carnival games as well. The carnival always runs on the August long weekend for the Sunday and Monday only, giving people two days to come and experience what Westfield has to offer. People of Hamilton sat down with Lisa Hunter, Westfield\u2019s program coordinator to find out about the ice cream carnival.\nWhy did the carnival start?\nIt started off as the ice cream festival and the idea was to focus an event around a summertime fun food that was something a lot of people enjoy. The event has really changed over the years: a few years ago we made the decision to make it more of a carnival. It\u2019s definitely all about the ice cream. You can learn about how ice cream is made traditionally, we have six ice cream making stations so they\u2019re making six different flavours over the course of the two days. We have our vendors cart set up, which is a place to learn about street vendors and the traditions behind that. The busiest area, in addition to the ice cream, is the Edwardian carnival. We\u2019ve reproduced Edwardian carnival games and they\u2019re all situated in a series of tents in the village green and it\u2019s very colourful with flags, music and all of the activities are ongoing so you can go up and try a traditional game as many times as you\u2019d like. It\u2019s a nice way for visitors to have some fun doing something together that\u2019s really different. One of the things that\u2019s there is a paper moon, it\u2019s in a starry sort of setting and people can sit on the moon and have their picture taken. So, that\u2019s just one of the more popular activities over there, but the traditional games everyone\u2019s either knocking something down or throwing something at something. It allows us to provide more engaging opportunities for visitors.\nHow many people typically come out?\nIt\u2019s in the range of 2,000 each day. Depending on the weather, we\u2019re a very weather dependent event. Things will go rain or shine but sometimes people prefer the sunnier days. Sometimes we bring out elements from it for other events, but normally it\u2019s just the one weekend a year where you can come and have ice cream and do Edwardian carnival games. We also have the rest of the village open, which we sometimes forget to tell people. Westfield has more than 30 historic buildings \u2013 those are all staffed by our costume interpreters who are doing activities and demonstrations representing the particular building they\u2019re in so it could be a home, trade business so there\u2019s so much for people to do this weekend. We also have free steamed tractor rides, so you can hop on at the Inn and have a ride throughout the village again at no charge.\nHow does the Ice Cream Carnival differ from the other events Westfield has?\nWe always know that food is a popular theme and it\u2019s something that everyone has in common, some of our other events involving food \u2013 The Maple Syrup Festival, we have our bread day, Christmas is a lot about foods so I guess it\u2019s just focusing on summertime traditions. Ice cream is something we all associate with hot weather and it\u2019s a special treat. We really like being about to show people what the traditional methods are and how labour intensive that is, but also using completely natural ingredients so having is as simple as cream and a bit of sugar and some vanilla, using the salt to bring down the temperature of the ice.\nAt the carnival, several flavours of ice cream are made including vanilla, peppermint, blueberry, maple \u2013 made with maple syrup produced at Westfield, ginger cookie and coco.\nWe went around the carnival and spoke with people to find out why they came out to the carnival and what their favourite flavour of ice cream is.\nRose Rhyno and her husband have been attending the carnival for over ten years. They brought their grandchildren to the carnival when they were younger, but Rhyno says they still come out to support the cause.\nWhat would you encourage people to go see during this carnival?\nA lot of the historical buildings so we know about our past because I think we need to know where we\u2019ve been and sometimes that helps where we\u2019re going. It puts your life in perspective to see how hard they used to work and we\u2019ll grumble over having to push a button, so for me that\u2019s how it is \u2013 it\u2019s history.\nWhat are your favourite types of ice cream?\nSo far I\u2019ve only tried the black-cherry, I haven\u2019t tried anything else but it was delicious.\nAnother carnival-goer, Igor Guzar, shared with us how he heard about the event and what he was excited about.\nHow did you hear about the event today?\nI was here about a year ago, and last time we were here somebody mentioned they have ice cream festivals so it\u2019s how we heard about it initially and then somebody mentioned it again at work a few days ago so I thought it would be a great time to come check it out.\nWhat\u2019s your favourite flavour of ice cream?\nI\u2019ll go with chocolate, can\u2019t go wrong with chocolate.\nWhat are you most excited to see today?\nIt\u2019s good to see the house again, hear the stories and just have a good time learning about the history of the place and trying some ice cream.\nThe ice cream carnival won\u2019t be back until August of next year. There are fun games for the whole family to play and of course the ice cream, making it an event that should be on everyone\u2019s summer to-do list. Until then, Westfield Heritage Village offers events year-round.",

For these children, returning to school often means academically reassessing the symptoms of ADHD \u2013 a neurobehavioral condition characterized by consistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity that interferes with activities of daily living and/or development. The condition has many contributing factors but nutrition is often one of the major influences in ADHD.\nHeading back to school often means heading back to the school lunch program, which can actually be contributing to the nutritional causes of ADHD. To be fair, school lunch programs vary in quality, from those that are nutrient-dense, health conscious and vegetable-centric, to those that are fast-food oriented and comparable to a microwave dinner at best. In addition, school lunch only provides one meal, while family eating habits make up a large portion of nutrition for children.\nMany nutritional factors have been strongly linked to ADHD. Food additives, refined sugars, food sensitivities/allergies and fatty acid deficiencies have all been associated with studies corroborating the claim. In 2013, the American Academy of Pediatricians officially linked ADHD to the consumption of artificial food dyes after reviewing a British study published in the journal, Lancet. Researchers found links between sodium benzoate found in food dyes increasing hyperactivity in children, and noted that some children were negatively impacted to larger degree than others. Trials of preservative-free, food coloring-free diets had a positive impact on symptoms.\nMany people anecdotally report hyperactivity associated with sugar in both their children and themselves. However, evidence about the negative links on ADHD has not been easily produced due to inconsistencies in test setting and controls. A few studies, though, have found association between sugar-concentrated drinks and focus issues in children. In one study published in 2015, children who consumed large amounts of sugary drinks were up to three times more likely to have an ADHD diagnoses compared with those who did not consume sugary beverages.\nIn contrast to sugar studies, food sensitivities/allergies and low intake of essential fatty acids have been well documented to contribute to hyperactivity, lack of focus and impulsivity. In a 2015 meta-analysis journal review, elimination diets and fish oil supplementation (containing both eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) with levels totaling 3,000 mg) were the most overwhelming dietary interventions noted for a reducing ADHD symptoms in children. Elimination diets often isolate inflammatory food, such as dairy, eggs, gluten and soy.\nAs you can see, the evidence is overwhelming that dietary modifications play major roles in managing ADHD and are imperative to treatment success. Nutrition is often an evaluation of food as medicine or food as poison. Just as good diet choices play a positive role, poor food options absolutely aggravate symptoms. It is certainly up to the child to learn how to make these choices for him/herself. However, when faced with poor options at home and school, creating healthy outcomes is challenging. It is of vital importance that educators, school administrators, parents, family members and dietitians understand and acknowledge the links between nutrition and behavior management. So pay attention to what your children are eating, or they\u2019ll have a hard time paying attention at all.\nNew Coffee Bombs Make Nutrition Easy (previous entry)\n(next entry) Vaginal Infections: Not All Created Equal",

        "raw_content": "Broner\u2019s father-figure says Manny out in 9\nMike Stafford.\nLAS VEGAS. Mike Stafford isn\u2019t just Adrien Broner\u2019s boxing teacher but also his father-figure and on the eve of The Problem\u2019s biggest fight of his career, predicted a ninth round knockout win over defending WBA welterweight champion Sen. Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena here tonight (tomorrow morning, Manila).\nStafford, 62, said Broner walked into his gym in Cincinnati when he was seven and they hit it off. Broner, who has a twin brother Andre, two other brothers and a sister, was raised by his mother Dorothy whose surname he took. According to Stafford, Broner doesn\u2019t know much about his biological father but his stepfather Thomas Knight will be at the fight.\n\u201cAB is a natural left-hander but when he was 10 or 11, I converted him to orthodox,\u201d said Stafford. \u201cHe can switch-hit but rarely does. He\u2019s not like Terrence Crawford. AB never went to the Olympics or World Championships as an amateur. When he was 17, AB was imprisoned for about eight months then released after he was acquitted of a robbery charge. He missed the boxoffs for the Olympic team by a day because of his imprisonment. Shelly Finkel was his manager in his early years as a pro before he joined Al Haymon. I can\u2019t tell you how much his contract with Al is worth but I can confirm it\u2019s huge.\u201d The scuttlebutt is he signed a $50 Million, five-fight contract but a source said it won\u2019t hold once he loses. His contract to fight Pacquiao is rumored to be $10 Million but it could be less.\nStafford said former narcotics detective Kevin Cunningham, who has coached several world champions, is now Broner\u2019s lead trainer, taking over from him. \u201cKevin\u2019s been on and off with us for about 10 to 15 fights but AB wanted him to take the lead role in camp starting his last fight against Jessie Vargas. We all work together as a team,\u201d he said.\nStafford brushed off Broner\u2019s history of lack of discipline. Broner has lost three titles on the scales. In one fight, he weighed eight pounds over the limit and didn\u2019t bother to shed off the excess. \u201cAB wasn\u2019t focused for those fights but against Manny, it\u2019s different,\u201d he said. \u201cAB trained at Kevin\u2019s gym in West Palm Beach and was dead serious. He knows how important beating a legend like Manny is. He\u2019s coming prepared to fight and win.\u201d\nStafford said what sets Broner apart from other fighters is his intelligence. \u201cHe\u2019s smart,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s got a powerful left hook and a right straight. Weight was never a problem. He can easily make 135 pounds because he\u2019s not big-boned.\u201d The heaviest Broner has scaled for a fight was 146 3/4 in outpointing Paul Malignaggi by split decision in Broolyn in 2013.\nStafford said Broner has eight children, the last two with his girlfriend Arie Nicole. Broner, 29, has vowed to showcase the power of the \u2018hood against Pacquiao.",

I simply suggest that we start from the very nature of the blog: a highly informational and personal site which tackles with subjects in a specific domain. Hence, when designing the blog, don't make it too complex, stick to the simple structures that allow users to perform actions easily on the page. The frame should also be very simple and the eventual ads and links need to naturally blend in the content of the blog as such. Web design provides the great advantage of using similar fonts and formats, so that only some elements on the page should stand out.\nFurthermore, you may have learned by now that you need to create the site content around some high-in-demand keywords that users type in the search box of the engine. The more the keywords, the higher the chances to have your blog appear in the first result pages. However, many bloggers understand keyword density the wrong way. The blog content should naturally include the keywords in an easy-to-read kind of way; a keyword density that goes higher than 2 or 3% could make the articles less appealing to the reader.\nThere are some tips you may consider when creating quality content for a blog. First of all, regardless of the domain and the target audience, it should be reader-friendly and even reader-oriented if it be the case. This means that even when you deal with a scientific topic, you can still keep the reader's attention vivid since not everybody who visits your blog has a professional cultural background. Write everything in short or medium-sized paragraphs so that the information naturally flows without being hard to track in case of an interruption.\nStatistics show that blogs that include links in the very article content are more successful than those who present links at the bottom of the page for instance. Inserted links allow the reader to get a puzzle-explanation of a concept or provide the opportunity to show interest for specific products or services. Furthermore, the blogs that make a happy combination of written content, pictures and videos are considered a lot more appealing to the average Internet user, and thus receive a lot more traffic. The key to being successful within the blogging system is definitely the continuous adaptation to the requests of the market.",

        "raw_content": "The Markdown Movement: Writing's Influence on Markup\nContributor: Aaron Beveridge\nAffiliation: The University of North Carolina at Greensboro\nEmail: akbeveri at uncg.edu\nThis webtext introduces Markdown\u2014a new markup language for web writing and multimodal webtext production. Markdown can do many things, but primarily, it provides a writer-friendly alternative to other markup languages such as HTML /CSS . By limiting its \u201ccode\u201d to a handful of styling and markup conventions, Markdown simplifies and streamlines the \u201cTuring complete\u201d complexity that accompanies other markup systems. A Turing complete programming language can conduct the same computations as any other general purpose programming language. The more popular general purpose programming languages, such as C or Python, are examples of turing complete languages, and web design systems such as JavaScript and HTML5/CSS3 have expanded to provide similar computational power as the general purpose programming languages. The downside of this improved computational power for web design systems is that it has lead to a substantial increase in the learning curve for systems such as JavaScript and HTML/CSS. Markdown responds to this increased complexity by providing web writers and digital rhetoricians an accessible yet powerful markup alternative.\nFor writers who are used to producing documents in WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get\u2014pronounced: \u201cwiz-ee-wig\u201d) systems\u2014such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs\u2014the transition to contemporary web design tools can be cumbersome and intimidating. While WYSIWYG writing tools provide an accessible writing environment, they are often incompatible with many types of automated web production/design systems (such as automated blog generators or content management systems). Contemporary webtext production often requires the delivery of digital artifacts and multimodal documents to multiple networks, simultaneously. For example, a writer might first produce a webtext for their blog, and then share it on multiple digital networks as well. This can be as simple as resharing a URL to the original blog post on Twitter or Facebook, or as complex as re-delivering documents in multiple digital formats through automated conversion processes\u2014what we might otherwise rhetorically understand as multi-delivery. Technical and professional scholars research issues surrounding multi-delivery by studying content management approaches in technical and professional settings, but more generally, the challenges related to multi-delivery are now common to many forms of digital, multimodal, and webtext production.\nWhile many automated web writing systems require writers to learn JavaScript and HTML/CSS, many of the more accessible \"cloud\" systems force writers to work within a single/closed web design ecosystem, such as Wordpress or Wix. Markdown is a timely addition to the web writing landscape because it bridges the gap between the two extremes. On one hand, Markdown provides writers a visually clean and \u201cwriterly\u201d environment (similar to WYSIWYG systems). Yet, on the other hand, Markdown also provides writers the ability to automate their multimodal production and insert code and programmable functions into their webtexts. The following video provides an introduction to Markdown and shows how it bridges the gap between these two extremes:\nThe videos included in this wiki reference a tutorial website for The Markdown Movement available here .\nVideo 1: What is Markdown?\nThis webtext provides a comprehensive introduction to Markdown, explaining the relevance of the Markdown movement for rhetoric and writing studies, as well as providing a brief history of Markdown that explains how its development was influenced by the pragmatic needs of writers. In addition to the introductory video above, I have created three other videos that serve as the primary content for this webtext: \"Getting Started with Markdown,\" \"Your First Markdown Webtext,\" and \"Advanced Markdown.\" This webtext's content can be viewed/read linearly, or it can be used as a reference tool for teaching/learning markdown--allowing readers to simply watch and follow the video demonstrations/tutorials. Readers of this article are encouraged to view the \"Getting Started with Markdown\" video because it provides a quick overview of markdown resources, as well as providing a brief demonstration of webtext production with Markdown. The last two videos (\"Your First Markdown Webtext\" and \"Advanced Markdown\") are meant for readers who specifically want to learn to use Markdown to produce webtexts and other multimodal documents. And finally, the remaining two sections of text (\"Markdown's Relevance for Rhetoric and Writing Studies,\" and \"A Brief History of Markdown\") provide additional information for scholars interested in Markdown's relevance for writing studies and its history and continued development. As with the videos, these two sections of text can be read linearly along with the rest of the content in the article, or they can be used as resources in a non-linear fashion, depending on the needs of the reader.\nVideo 2: Getting Started with Markdown\nMarkdown's Relevance for Rhetoric and Writing Studies\nGenerally speaking, questions about learning to program in rhetoric and writing studies fall within discussions about computer literacy as they relate to digital literacy. For web design and the writing of HTML/CSS, these questions have been around since the emergence of the Internet. From Paul J. LeBlanc's 1993 Writing Teachers Writing Software to the 2016 CCCC chair's address given by Joyce Locke Carter\u2014the calls for scholars, researchers, and teachers to consider programming as a form of writing have continually re-emerged since Richard Lanham coined the term digital rhetoric in the late 1980s. These discussions have been re-contextualized by critical code studies and through interdisciplinary scholarship in the digital humanities, as evidenced by the Enculturation special issue, \"The Role of Computational Literacy in Computers and Writing,\" and by the Literacy in Composition Studies special issue, \"Understanding Computer Programming as Literacy.\"\nThe question of \"do I need to learn to program?\" continues to spark quite a bit of controversy, connecting tangentially to composition studies' debates about \"skills\" and \"process,\" and more recently to debates about programming\u2019s potential function as a \"gatekeeper\" in the digital humanities (DH). Instead of setting up programming (among other \"maker\" skills) as gatekeeping-skillsets for DH researchers and scholars, the broad response has been a move to define the digital humanities as the \"big tent,\" allowing for an expansive and inclusive view of \"what counts\" as DH scholarship (see: Debates in the Digital Humanities , 2012 and 2016 editions). For scholars and researchers in rhetoric and writing studies, the question of \u201cdo I need to learn to program?\u201d is often less about disciplinary gatekeeping (although accessibility remains a valid concern) and more about the pragmatics of writing and multimodal production (see: the Enculturation special issue on coding literacy). As many academic journals continue to move to open standards and web publishing models, learning basic web design opens many more avenues for producing and sharing new scholarship in digital rhetoric and writing studies. However, as the \u201cIntroduction: What is Markdown?\u201d video shows, writing an article in a markup language like HTML is less than ideal for scholars who are new to web design.\nHowever, for writers who want more digital design possibilities than those that are commonly offered by limited GUI (graphical user interface) text editors on webpages, coming to terms with some variation of markup is unavoidable. Bradley Dilger and Jeff Rice, editors of From A to A: Keywords of Markup, described the importance of markup for writers:\nDilger and Rice wrote:\nMarkup, also called tagging, can be attributed to text, images, metadata, design, and behavior, affecting how readers engage with and encounter information. Markup bolds and centers, generates links, positions images on pages, produces output, and so on. Markup organizes and displays information; it institutionalizes practices relevant to online communication. Markup is the first thing Web writers engage, whether or not they imagine writing as tagging, coding, or marking up. Markup is communication. Markup is writing. (xi)\nCertainly, there many writers who are comfortable designing webtexts in HTML, but many writers continue to prefer WYSIGYG environments similar to standard word processing applications like Google Docs or Microsoft Office. However, WYSIGYG systems remain limited, and what writers gain in ease-of-use and user-friendly interaction, they often give up in in-line control and programmable functionality. As Nicholas Mauriello et al. (1999) in \u201cReading between the Code\u201d and Kristin L. Arola (2010) in \u201cThe Design of Web 2.0\u201d argue in their articles, giving over to WYSIWYG writing environments altogether means relinquishing too much control over design and layout. At the same time, expecting writers to always code in full JavaScript and HTML/CSS is also unrealistic.\nIn her 2016 keynote address to the Conference on College Composition and Communication , Joyce Locke Carter argued that the phrases \u201cmy startup company\u201d or \u201cmy new app\u201d should become \u201cdesirable and normal\u2013as normal as anyone who mentions \u2018my new book,\u2019 or \u2018my research,\u2019 or \u2018my advocacy.\u2019\u201d Carter explained that we no longer need to see such applications of writing as fringe or marginal, and that \u201ctaking this step doesn\u2019t require any additional skills\u2013what is called for is a different mindset, not skillset.\u201d For Carter, this \u201cmindset\u201d was less about \u201ctraining or specialization\u201d and more about acknowledging the maker identities that are already at work in the field: \u201cdesigners, architects, engineers, User Experience specialists, technologists\u2013and if you read the convention program carefully, you\u2019ll see all of these identities are already at the C\u2019s this very week\u201d (390).\nThis is why Markdown is more of a movement than a technological innovation, and it falls in line with the \u201cmindset\u201d that Carter encouraged in her keynote address. From a technical standpoint, everything that Markdown can do as a markup language is far more extensive and efficient in other variations of markup, such as HTML and LaTeX. Rather, what makes Markdown \u201cinnovative\u201d is its resistance to too-much technical capability in favor of the pragmatics of writing. By limiting Markdown\u2019s markup syntax to a handful of conventions and the most commonly used in-line formatting instructions, writers are provided with a writing environment that is far less cluttered with tags and code. Yet Markdown does not give up on tags and code altogether. In fact, most Markdown parsers will allow users to drop in full HTML code whenever Markdown\u2019s syntax is too limited for a specific design aspect that writer\u2019s wish to add to their webtext. This is the Markdown movement\u2014focusing on the pragmatic experience of the writer first and foremost, and requiring that technical functionality follows from the writer's pragmatic concerns.\nA Brief History of Markdown\nMarkdown was created and released in 2004 by John Gruber. While open source software development often strives for transparent and effective collaboration, this does not mean that it occurs without friction or disputes among developers. While Gruber was the initial creator of Markdown, many new versions and variations emerged during Markdown\u2019s early years of development. Many programming languages eventually developed their own versions of Markdown: there are versions of Markdown available for Reddit, GitHub, and StackExchange. In addition to these variations, countless other sites and tools have developed some variation of it for webtext and multimodal writing. Even WordPress has Markdown support for creating blogs and editing web pages. The fracturing and expansion of Markdown happened so quickly that many developers quickly began to call for work to standardize Markdown's syntax. Unlike for HTML, there is no Internet standard for Markdown. The brief history below explains Markdown\u2019s first decade of development, its move toward standardization, and its establishment as an accessible alternative to HTML. Drawing heavily on blog articles about Markdown written by Jeff Atwood, co-founder of stackoverflow.com, this brief history explains the motivation and rationale behind the effort to standardize Markdown\u2019s markup syntax.\nIn 2009, Atwood wrote on his personal blog a scathing critique of Gruber\u2019s oversight of Markdown, titling the post: \u201cResponsible Open Source Code Parenting.\u201d Atwood retorted:\nAtwood wrote:\nIt\u2019s almost at the point where John Gruber, the very person who brought us Markdown, is the biggest obstacle preventing Markdown from moving forward and maturing. It saddens me greatly to see such negligent open source code parenting. Why work against the community when you can work with it? It doesn\u2019t have to be this way. And it shouldn\u2019t be.\nAtwood\u2019s role in the history of Markdown is relevant to writing studies, not only because Atwood is an avid writer and blogger (maintaining his programming/hacking related blog codinghorror.com since 2004), but also because many of his software projects have been discursive writing technologies. Stack Overflow is the largest programming and technical discussion site on the Internet, providing a forum for users to quickly ask and answer programming related questions. It has been such a useful tool for learning how to program that simply copying and pasting programming errors/questions into Google\u2019s search engine will often return a Stack Overflow question/answer as the top search item. Furthermore, Atwood\u2019s newest open source development project, Discourse , attempts the lofty goal of improving Internet discourse through technological innovation. Atwood\u2019s investment in Markdown, therefore, is not only technical, as a developer, but also pragmatic, as a writer and discursive community developer.\nIn 2008, Atwood wrote a post on his blog titled \u201cIs HTML a Humane Markup Language?\u201d The post explains Stack Overflow\u2019s decision to use Markdown for posting questions on the site, and it also explains the crucial impetus for the Markdown movement. Since Stack Overflow is a site for obtaining answers to questions about programming and other technical issues, Atwood explains why they decided not to provide a simple WYSIWYG editor for users to post questions to the site: \u201cI have one iron-clad design guide: this is a site for programmers, so they should be comfortable with basic markup.\u201d Atwood argued that if \u201cyou can sling code, a little bit of presentation markup is child\u2019s play.\u201d However, Atwood also countered those assumptions when he explains why Stack Overflow chose Markdown over other lightweight markup languages. Given that Stack Overflow\u2019s audience is often programmers, he assumed a much higher technical knowledge and a minimum set of coding skills than other sites or organizations. Yet even with such an assumption, Atwood\u2019s primary concern remained the pragmaic experience of the writer and the accessibility of the site. To make this point, Atwood discussed Wikipedia\u2019s markup language as a point of departure:\nIt\u2019s an effective markup language, but I think you\u2019ll agree that it\u2019s more intimidating than humane. . . . I\u2019d argue that writing a Wikipedia entry is a step beyond mere presentational markup; it\u2019s almost like coding, as you weave the article into the Wikipedia gestalt. (Incidentally, if you haven\u2019t ever edited a Wikipedia article, you should. I consider it a rite of passage, a sort of Internet merit badge for anyone who is serious about their online presence.)\nWhat became clear in Atwood\u2019s 2008 post is that Stack Overflow wanted to provide users with some measure of control over design through an in-text lightweight markup language, but the pragmatics of writing in a fully-coded environment remove the ease-of-production users expect from WYSIGYG writing environments. The question, then, is where do developers of Markdown draw the line? How many tagging or markup conventions are too many for Markdown? How much additional functionality should be added?\nThe problems posed by these questions led to the friction between Atwood and Gruber. In 2012, Atwood wrote a post titled \u201cThe Future of Markdown\u201d in which he implored Gruber to support a standardization effort for Markdown\u2019s open source development, writing: \u201cSo I\u2019m asking you, John Gruber: as the original creator of Markdown, will you bless this endeavor?\u201d Atwood went on to explain his motivations for such a request:\nI freaking love Markdown. I love it so much that I want to see it succeed and flourish over the next 20 years. I believe the best way to achive that goal is for the most popular sites using Markdown to band together and take ownership of Markdown as a standard. I propose that Stack Exchange, GitHub, Meteor, Reddit, and any other company with lots of traffic and a strategic investment in Markdown, all work together to come up with an official Markdown specification, and standard test suites to validate Markdown implementations. We\u2019ve all been working at cross purposes for too long, accidentally fragmenting Markdown while popularizing it.\nIf Markdown is more \u201cmovement\u201d than innovation, as this webtext argues, then Atwood is a key motivator in the direction it has taken. The closing lines of his 2012 post are a call to action: \u201cI\u2019d really prefer not to fork the language; I\u2019d much rather collectively help carry the banner of Markdown forward into the future, with the blessing of John Gruber and in collaboration with other popular sites that use Markdown. So\u2026who\u2019s with me?\u201d\nBefore continuing the story of Markdown\u2019s development, it is important to weave into this narrative the development of an adjacent tool called Pandoc . Markdown always requires a conversion utility, and Gruber\u2019s original Markdown was intended to work in conjunction within a programming language called Ruby. Ruby was responsible for converting Markdown into HTML for publishing to the web. By creating Pandoc, Markdown could function more universally, opening the possibility of converting Markdown into many other file formats, including DOCX, PDF, HTML, RTF, ODT, EPUB. While using Markdown within a single web application like Stack Overflow provides a meaningful case for examining its initial development, Markdown\u2019s true potential is realized through the functionality provided by Pandoc and other similar parsing (conversion) utilities. John MacFarlane, chair of the Department of Philosophy at UC Berkeley, started to develop Pandoc in 2006 as an open source tool for broad-scale document conversion. As the \"Advanced Markdown\" video in this article shows, Pandoc allows for more complex uses of Markdown, such as automating the creation of ebooks from multiple Markdown files. Using Pandoc, Markdown files can also be used to compile more complex websites and blogs. Therefore, MacFarlane and the Pandoc conversion tool he created have greatly opened the possibilities for how Markdown can influence the web writing landscape.\nWorking with MacFarlane, Atwood announced on September 3, 2014 that he had assembled a group of representatives from Reddit, GitHub, Stack Exchange (owners of Stack Overflow), and Meteor (an open source mobile development platform) to release standard Markdown specification for ongoing and future development. What was most exciting about this announcement is that most of the spec for Markdown had been written by MacFarlane. However, the effort was met with one last bit of controversy between Atwood and Gruber. Initially, the group placed their spec at http://www.standardmarkdown.com . However, three days later on September 5, Atwood posted a follow-up announcement, in the blog post \"Standard Markdown is now Common Markdown,\" that their team will be changing the URL from http://www.standardmarkdown.com to http://www.commonmark.org , following an email he received from Gruber. Atwood explained in the follow-up post that he had emailed Gruber asking him to be part of the standardization team back in 2012, and that Gruber had never responded to the email. And then, again in August 2014, Atwood had asked Gruber if he would provide feedback on the standardized Markdown spec before they released it, and still Gruber did not respond, according to Atwood. In the follow-up post, Atwood went out of his way to apologize to Gruber and once again give him credit for creating Markdown, but if you go to http://www.standardmarkdown.com now, a single line remains showing Atwood\u2019s frustration with Gruber: \u201cThis domain was disabled at the request of John Gruber.\u201d Atwood could have disabled the domain altogether, but instead used that single line to link back to his follow-up blog post explaining Gruber\u2019s continued disinterest and lack of involvement with Markdown.\nIn April 2015, the Internet Engineering Steering Group recieved a draft letter to begin the standardization process for making Markdown an official Internet media type for the Internet Engineering Task Force . Developers were invited to submit use cases for variations of Markdown, and this process remained open until April 2016. It is unclear if formal standardization will be completed for Markdown, but for now, it appears as if the friction regarding Markdown\u2019s future is settled. Gruber continues to receive the credit for being Markdown\u2019s creator, but open development and collaboration beyond his initial investment have led to Markdown becoming a viable markup alternative for Internet writing and web design.\nAdditional Markdown Tutorials and Resources\nThe following resources are for web writers interested in additional possibilities for Markdown as a general web writing tool. The first video, \"Your First Markdown Webtext,\" is a tutorial video for writers who want help in creating and publishing their first Markdown webtext to the web, and the second video, \"Advanced Markdown,\" demonstrates the advanced design/automation possibilities that are provided by Pandoc.

        "raw_content": "My apologies to our readers for the delay in this update. Saturday was a marathon of wrestling-related activities and of course, Sunday we made our way home.\nDay 2 of The Clash started with a 6:30am shuttle to morning weigh-ins. The snow that had caused so much chaos the day before had stopped, but the morning temperature had dropped to \u201318. To be honest, the morning cold was probably a blessing, as it helped wake the wrestlers up in spite of fighting the four hour time difference\nOur first dual was against La Quinta (CA) and starting at 160, we got off to a great start. We won by fall in the first five matches and La Quinta was never able to recover. We finished the match 66 \u2013 9 and racked up 10 pins.\nOur next dual was against Kaukauna (WI), one of the better teams from Wisconsin. We wrestled well, but simply ran into a better team and lost the dual 27 \u2013 45. There were some tough individual matches, including a battle of state champions at 171. The Minnesota Sports Broadcast Network has video of that dual archived here.\nOur last match of the day was also the most exciting. We wrestled Baylor (TN), the defending D2 state champions from Tennessee. Baylor jumped out to an early lead, but our wrestlers kept grinding away to close the gap. Going into the final match, we were tied at 27 when Patrick Sheehan sealed the deal for us with a pin to secure a 33 \u2013 27 victory. The coaches were especially proud of a great team effort. Many of our key matches weren\u2019t victories; rather they were wrestlers who hung tough even though they were overmatched. We often remind our wrestlers that win or lose, every match counts and every wrestler has a role to play. Our dual against Baylor was a great example of that point.\nThroughout the tournament, everyone wrestled very well, but we did have a few notable individual performances. Kolu Buck (215) and Sani Fuimaono (285) both joined the prestigious \u201c6-0 Club\u201d, going undefeated in the tournament. Jordan Ng also wrestled extremely well, finishing 5-1.\nBased on a respectable 3 \u2013 3 record, we finished the tournament as runners-up in Division 7. As in our last trip in 2008, we learned a lot about ourselves as we matched up against top tier competition. Though we competed well against some very good teams, we still have a long way to go in improving our technique and reducing mistakes.\nAfter our session was over, we spent the evening watching the championship brackets and witnessed some outstanding wrestling. Apple Valley (MN) (#2 in the country) was dominant, but Simley (MN) gave them a run and proved they are also among the best teams in the country. Perennial powers Montini Catholic (IL) and Wisconsin Rapids (WI) were also fun to watch. Final standings in The Clash VIII can be found here and there is a lot of great video on MSBN and Flowrestling.\nWhen wrestling was done, we finished the day with a late night run to a local pizzeria and finally turned in around 1a. It was a long 18-hour day, but one I know we won\u2019t soon forget.",

        "raw_content": "Toh Hsien Min goes digging for roots\nI'm sitting in a United Airlines flight from San Francisco to Denver, listening to Neil Finn, formerly of Crowded House, mainly because there's nothing else to do. It may sound strange, but it's exactly while I'm squashed up in an economy seat, somewhere in the sky above Nevada, that I think of the crowded house in an archipelago ten time-zones away, and wonder what if anything makes that house a home. To give even more context, this comes after a day in San Francisco that has ranged from the surreal to the semi-comedic. At the airport, we got into a cab whose suspensions gave us the illusion of being in a speedboat out in the bay, but as we slowed into the city, passing PacBell Park and the piers on Embarcadero, the whole surrounding area was so quiet you could hear the individual clatter of a skateboard, sharp as a shard of glass. It didn't seem quite like the super-charged centre of wheel-and-deal that numerous issues of Red Herring had brought me to expect. And then San Francisco threw another curveball. By late afternoon, it had begun to rain, lightly at first. By the time we got off the tram at Powell and I commenced an ill-advised trek to find Farallon and Aqua, it was pouring, we were getting wet in our too-summery clothes, and the wind was coming in off the ocean. \"It's worse than London,\" I said, to none of my companions in particular.\nIn a recent Business Times survey, a number of young, urban professional Singaporeans were asked what made them stay in Singapore. They were given options ranging from the food to the weather to the opportunities, but a startling 44% of respondents picked the option, nothing, they couldn't wait to catch the first flight out. Another recent survey undertaken by the Economic Review Committee feedback group also found that of 153 overseas students, one in three said they would not return to Singapore upon graduation.. These two surveys touched on what must seem for Singapore like a recurring dream, that for all the government's efforts in chiselling out a national identity, many young Singaporeans do not feel a sense of belonging anymore.\nThere could be any number of reasons for this. The latter survey suggests that the increasingly cosmopolitan and international perspectives that our younger generations now have access to pushes them to think beyond the bounds of Singapore. (For example, it's during my travels that I ponder such issues of home and belonging.) There may be deeper sociological factors at work. Singapore's population has been historically drawn from the migrant peoples of China, India and the Malay Archipelago; they are fitted with mobile, can-do spirit, willing to go anywhere in pursuit of their dreams, in the past, now and in the future. When our government makes such mobility not only visible but obvious, in policies that encourage foreign talent, for example, it cannot help but awaken the migratory instincts of 44% of BT respondents.\nHowever, aside from the foregrounding of this 747 aspect of modern life, I would contend that the more fundamental reason is not what the hand touches, but the very visibility of the hand. The word 'home' for many people is constituted more in the personal and familial than in the tribal and national, and when a government clearly engages, through posters and television advertisements, in the issue of home and belonging, it complicates the concepts for many.\nCuriously enough, we can find a trace of this bias from the earliest roots of the English language. The word 'home' can be tracked back to the Old English 'ham', with the long vowel, which originally meant the place of one's permanent dwelling, where one could centre one's family life. For a while in Old and Middle English it also held the secondary meaning of a collection of dwellings, nothing larger than a village, from which we get the modern day 'hamlet'. But in Old English, larger concepts of home occupied other words.\nOne such word was 'eard', which meant homeland, domain, dwelling region or similar: something larger than a 'home'. Now I'm not by any stretch of the imagination an expert in Old English, but the most prominent occurrence of 'eard' that I know of is in the Brunanburh, a poem celebrating a battle fought by Aethelstan, the grandson of Alfred, and recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle under the year 937. The end of the poem celebrates the dominance of the West-Saxons, asserting their power and rule with a nationalism of impressive truculence, rather like the sort we see on the Padang in August.\nNe wear\u00f0 w\u00e6l mare\non \u00feis eiglande \u00e6fre gieta\nfolces gefylled beforan \u00feissum\nsweordes ecgum, \u00fe\u00e6s \u00fee us secga\u00f0 bec,\nealde u\u00f0witan, si\u00fe\u00fean eastan hider\nEngle and Seaxe up becoman,\nofer brad brimu Brytene sohtan,\nwlance wigsmi\u00feas, Wealas ofercoman,\neorlas arhwate eard begeatan.\nIt's been translated by Tennyson thus:\nNever had huger\nSlaughter of heroes\nSlain by the sword-edge \u2013\nSuch as old writers\nHave writ of in histories \u2013\nHapt in this isle, since\nUp from the East hither\nSaxon and Angle from\nOver the broad billow\nBroke into Britain with\nHaughty war-workers who\nHarried the Welshman, when\nEarls that were lured by the\nHunger of the glory gat\nHold of the land.\nMy eyebrows are raised because Tennyson enjoys a reputation as one of the most nationalistic \u2013 read English \u2013 poets, writing in an imperial age, when Singapore was coming to the fore as one of the British Empire's most important outposts in the Far East. Enough has been made of his rewriting of the Arthurian legend, so that to note that this little verse similarly celebrates the origin of Englishness may be seen as to be trivial. Yet, I'm struck by his translation of 'eard begeaton' to the rustic and somewhat biblical 'gat / Hold of the land'.\nI would have put it more strongly: \"Never was there a greater slaughter of people felled by the edges of swords on this island, of which books, those old and wise ones, tell us, since from the east, Angles and Saxons came here, over the broad sea, seeking Britain; these proud warriors defeated the Welsh, earls brave of old founded a country.\"\nThere may be any number of explanations for this. It is tempting to see Tennyson's translation as the nationalistic poet accepting a more settled world order. By 1880, when this translation was published in Ballads and Other Poems, the British Empire was already a global political reality. After the transfer of the governmental functions of the East India Company in 1858, the by then de facto British Empire held sway, directly or indirectly, over vast tracts of land from Africa to India to Singapore and to Australia. At this point there was either less of a need for British-centric emphasis, or more of a need to justify the imperial impulse.\nHowever, the truth could be more prosaic. Tennyson was not expert in Old English either \u2013 although as a Tab he had a prefabricated excuse \u2013 and he had to rely on his son's prose translation of the Brunanburh in the Contemporary Review of 1876 to arrive at this poem. His son Hallam had translated the last sentence as such: \"When haughty war-smiths overcame the Welshmen, and earls full of the lust of glory gat hold of the land.\" It's likely that between him and his son, there was no recognition of the word 'eard'. As a word and as a concept, 'eard' had started to disappear during the transition between the Old and Middle English periods. For example, it appeared in the Ormulum, a Middle English poem of the late 12th Century, as '\u00e6rd'; the Ormulum, interestingly, has a strong sense of place, mostly by dint of its East Midland dialect, and that alone is telling. Rural dialects, as we know, had begun giving way to the capital culture by the time Chaucer came to joke about it.\nSo for a while I was barking up an odd collection of trees. My immediate hunch, that 'eard' could have become 'earth' was off the mark, as 'earth' apparently comes from 'eor\u00fee' (similarly, 'hearth' from 'heor\u00fee'). Nor did it become what we now know as 'yard', which is derived from 'geard'. The word 'eard' has no progeny in modern English that we know of. The closest cognate is not any of these, but the verb 'erian', meaning 'to plow', which also fell out of use; 'erian' also appears to be from the same Indo-European root as Latin 'arare', which became modern English 'arable'.\nIt's also interesting that the protagonists of Brunanburh are named Aethelstan and Edmund Aetheling:\nHer \u00e6\u00feelstan cyning, eorla dryhten,\nbeorna beahgifa, and his bro\u00feor eac,\nEadmund \u00e6\u00feeling,\nbecause the other word usually used in Old English for 'homeland' was 'e\u00feel' (also sometimes rendered 'e\u00f0el'), from which we get '\u00e6\u00feelu' ('noble descent') and '\u00e6\u00feeling' as above ('prince'). In other words, the notion of rule, aristocracy, royalty and ultimately nation comes, at least initially in English, from the land.\nThis being the case, the separate histories of these three words for 'home' shows us something of the relative priorities of the English peoples. The only word that survives is the one that refers to the smallest social unit. The two words for 'home' in the larger regional and national spheres die out, and the only vestige of them consists in the soil, which is at least as vital to the individual and family unit as to the state. It's also curious that sometime in the Middle English period, 'ham'/'home' took on a secondary meaning of 'home country' \u2013 including the national concept in the personal \u2013 but that this has now passed out of use again. The replacement words that we use nowadays, 'nation' and 'country', come from the Romance languages, which may be directly attributed to the Norman invasion of 1066; the former is additionally noteworthy for being related to the same 'nat-' root as 'natal'.\nI don't want to make too much of this archaeological exploration, so I shall switch to an archaeology of a different kind. In his 1975 collection, North, Seamus Heaney speaks of going to Aarhus to see a mummy preserved by the bog:\nBridegroom to the goddess,\nShe tightened her torc on him\nAnd opened her fen,\nThose dark juices working\nHim to a saint's kept body,\nTrove of the turfcutters'\nHoneycombed workings.\nThis meshing of the man and the land in a matrimonial embrace is a minor stroke of genius: the man becomes part of the land, and in return the land preserves him in a symbiotic belonging. But there is something more sinister at work, first hinted at by the use of the word 'country', which, while used here in its agrarian sense, is partly rooted in the Latin 'contra', or 'against'. Into the close relationship, like an irruption (for that is the partitioned structure at work), comes the spectre of violence (\"The scattered, ambushed / Flesh of labourers\"), a violence that in the mid-1970s was very real for a Northern Irishman, very ideological and ultimately very political.\nAnd as Heaney segues the present into the past, realising that out here in the Germanic regions where the English language finds its roots, the violence of communities of 'contrary' people, of nascent nations, against each other, has not changed. So his identification with the Tollund Man is both complete and unsatisfactory. He recognises that his own place of belonging is tied in with the national turmoil and as such loses all the positive force of such a place of belonging, to such an extent that:\nOut here in Jutland\nIn the old man-killing parishes\nI will feel lost,\nUnhappy and at home.\nIn other words, Heaney there discovers what the English peoples had already discovered, that ideas of home constituted in politics or nationhood are not tenable. Yet, just a few years earlier, another English person was discovering that ideas of home constituted entirely in the environment of the self are not tenable either.\nLong fallen wide. You can see how it was:\nLook at the pictures and the cutlery.\nThe music in the piano stool. That vase.\nPart of the mastery in Larkin's poem is how eminently unpoetic it is. The language is bereft of adornment, withering, dull even, and when visual detail comes in it comes already soaked in the prejudice of the preceding lines. Home will always speak of the unfulfilled, predicated as it were on the instability of the self, much as Carl Dennis observes of the God who loves us:\nIt must be painful for him to watch you on Friday\nDriving home from the office, content with your week \u2013\nThree fine houses sold to deserving families \u2013\nKnowing as he does exactly what would have happened\nHad you gone to your second choice for college,\nKnowing the roommate you'd have been allotted\nWhose ardent opinions on painting and music\nWould have kindled in you a lifelong passion.\nWhen we see how \"the last to go\" is even threatening, that's the clincher for many people: Bridget Jones half-eaten by an Alsatian.\nSo home occupies a middle ground. We don't say, 'I feel at home on 17100 Monte Bello Road', or 'I feel at home in a Conservative government.' We say, 'I feel at home in New York / St John's Wood / Singapore.' There is always a sense of an intermediate environment. I use 'intermediate' advisedly, because of the dynamic relationships we have with our environment. Yet if I can speak of dynamic relationships with the environment, perhaps these relationships themselves should come under scrutiny. The French, who are always examining the relationships between people and ideas, appear to support me in this: the French word for property is \"immobilier\", which carries enough of its flavour into English, and although the French for home would be properly something like \"maison\", the other word that may come to mind is \"chez\", which, strictly speaking, includes the dative. A word that carries these relationships with it! And the relationships are aporectic ones. For example, one cannot conclude relationships of necessity to home (at least, not on any more than an individual level), but equally one cannot postulate its opposite. It's quite like the scene in Das Rheingold where Wotan proclaims how every living being desires to wander and change at the same time as he has Fasfolt and Fafner build his Valhalla for him.\nFor the youngest generations of Singapore, aporia is becoming the defining theme of our relationships towards our intermediate environment. One reason Tan Hwee Hwee's Mammon Inc. made as much of an impact as it has is because it strikes at a key preoccupation of many of her generation. \"It's obvious we'll never fit into Singaporean society, or any society, for that matter,\" she has one of her characters say. \"We're freaks, mutant hybrids of East and West \u2013 like trans-cultural X-men. So forget fitting in. Why don't we get out of this place and look for other freaks like us?\" If our environment is a \"construction from spare parts\", as one of our more eloquent poets puts it, who bar the insensate and the postmodern ironist will find a home here? If you look around and see throngs of people with whom you feel no spiritual kinship, if you feel the weight and oppressions of nationality without the uplift, if you have two-and-a-half years of your life taken away for a crime you did not commit, if you feel oppressed by a majority even if you cannot define who that majority is, if you have no sense of land, if whatever emotional bond you feel for the place is slowly being wiped out by the URA and the neverending urge for 'progress' \u2013 where's Taman Serasi, where's Bidadari, where's Rochester Park headed? \u2013 so that you start wondering what this country has to forget and what it is ashamed of, then you have little chance of finding a home where you look around. You cannot feel that you belong. In other words, Singapore becomes just like any other spot in the world. Nothing more. In which case, why put up with the weather, the humidity, the mould growing on books and CDs, the drought of manners, the high cost of living, the price rises after every election, the patronising government and the narrow-mindedness?\nI shall not answer that in any more definite a way \u2013 knowing how much I am already pressing down on the aporia I argue on the side of \u2013 than to refer to social historian Theodore Zeldin, who in An Intimate History of Humanity writes that \"more and more people are becoming abnormal, and are not fitting neatly into a single civilisation. [The analysis] suggests that normal people should be proud of the civilisation into which they are born, because they need roots and self-esteem. Nevertheless, the dramatic action arises from the disappointment of those who have not personally tasted the full delights of their civilisation, who see no chance of influencing its evolution, whose family, as far back as they know, have been excluded from most of what civilisation offers\u2026 and who complain that admiring the great figures of their civilisation do not do very much to make them feel fulfilled\". If that is the case, then it would be useful to approach the question of necessity in a different way. Although what Zeldin goes on to say, \"It is odd to say that humans need roots as to say they need foliage\u2026 Applied to humans, this means that it is not just where they come from that matters, but where they are going, what kind of curiosity or imagination they have, and how they use it, both by day and by night\", might appear to be an argument against the necessity for the idea of home, I would put it instead that Zeldin is contending not only that home is only as necessary as one makes it, but also that it can be what one makes it to be. And this makes the third and final Zeldin statement I shall draw up all the more tragic than it already is. \"The world is still full of people who, though they have no recognised slave masters, see themselves as having little freedom, as being at the mercy of uncontrollable, anonymous economic and social forces, or of their circumstances\u2026 and whose personal ambitions are permanently blunted thereby.\" It is tragic because of the failure of perception, or the failure of imagination. It is tragic because for such people home has become quite the opposite of what it ideally is. Home is not the place where, in Frost's words, when you have to go there, they have to take you in, but the place where you let yourself be taken in, where you receive injustice and oppression, because you feel that there is nowhere else you can go. In this case, Heaney's words become literal rather than figurative: \"I will feel lost, / Unhappy and at home.\"\nWith thanks to Ralph Hanna and Leonard Schwartz\nWhat does home mean to you?

It was opened by the then Bishop of Barking, the Rt. Revd. Roger Sainsbury on June 8th 1995 as a teashop with a view to extending the church into the community of Rainham. It was the brainchild of the Revd. Tom Lynds, and a number of others, to purchase the old Goodwin\u2019s Hairdressers shop for this purpose. Grants and private donations from church members enables the work to go ahead with most of the work being tackled by men from the church itself.\nLots of prayer has gone into seeking God\u2019s will for Rainham, as with all our ministries, and how He wants to use The Ship, so we reopened in May 2015 after renovations, working with the community and the Rainham FoodBank.\nAre you struggling today? Maybe in some need? If so, why not pop in to see us and have a cuppa? We\u2019re friendly, ready to listen and to give practical help, and we really do care.

        "raw_content": "Blossom of April \u00bb Public Zone \u00bb Blossom Public \u00bb A Simple Explanation Of 'The Internet Of Things'\n1 A Simple Explanation Of 'The Internet Of Things' on August 4th 2015, 9:27 am\nThe \"Internet of things\" (IoT) is becoming an increasingly growing topic of conversation both in the workplace and outside of it. It\u2019s a concept that not only has the potential to impact how we live but also how we work. But what exactly is the \"Internet of things\" and what impact is it going to have on you if any?\nLet\u2019s start with understanding a few things:\nBroadband Internet is become more widely available, the cost of connecting is decreasing, more devices are being created with wifi capabilities and censors built into them, technology costs are going down, and smart phone penetration is sky-rocketing. All of these things are creating a \u201cperfect storm\u201d for the IoT.\nSo what is the Internet of things?\nSimply put this is the concept of basically connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet (and/or to each other). This includes everything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can think of. This also applies to components of machines, for example a jet engine of an airplane or the drill of an oil rig. As I mentioned, if it has an on and off switch then chances are it can be a part of the IoT. The analyst firm Gartner says that by 2020 there will be over 26 billion connected devices\u2026that\u2019s a lot of connections (some even estimate this number to be much higher, over 100 billion). The IoT is a giant network of connected \u201cthings\u201d (which also includes people). The relationship will be between people-people, people-things, and things-things.\nThe new rule for the future is going to be, \u201canything that can be connected, will be connected.\u201d But why on earth would you want so many connected devices talking to each other? There are many examples for what this might look like or what the potential value might be. Say for example you are on your way to a meeting, your car could have access to your calendar and already know the best route to take, if the traffic is heavy your car might send a text to the other party notifying them that you will be late.\nOn a broader scale the IoT can be applied to things like transportation networks \u201csmart cities\u201d which can help us reduce waste and improve efficiency for things such as energy use; this helping us understand and improve how we work and live.\nThe reality is that the IoT allows for virtually endless opportunities and connections to take place, many of which we can\u2019t even think of or fully understand the impact of today. It\u2019s not hard to see how and why the IoT is such a hot topic today, it certainly opens the door to a lot of opportunities but also to many challenges. Security is big issues that is oftentimes brought up. With billions of devices being connect together what can people to do make sure that their information stays secure? Will someone be able to hack into your toaster and thereby get access to your entire network? The IoT also opens up companies all over the world to more security threats. Then we have the issue of privacy and data sharing. This is a hot button topic even today so one can only imagine how the conversation and concerns will escalate when we are talking about many billions of devices being connected. Another issue that many companies specifically are going to be faced with is around the massive amounts data that all of these devices are going to produce. Companies need to figure out a way to store, track, analyze, and make sense of the vast amounts of data that will be generated.\nConversations about the IoT are (and have been for several years) taking place all over the world as we seek to understand how this will impact our lives. We are also trying to understand what the many opportunities and challenges are going to be as more and more devices start to join the IoT. For now the best thing that we can do is educate ourselves about what the IoT is and the potential impacts that can be seen on how we work and live.",

Having just moved back to Pittsburgh, I'm just discovering new places to see bands in the area but am excited to try new places and see new bands.\nBobby Long Concert in the \u2018Burgh\nNovember 17, 2011 Kari\tLeave a comment\nSo, after some prodding from the editor, I finally have a show to write about for RARA\u2019s. I recently moved back to the Pittsburgh area, so am in the process of developing a social life and finding fun places to go for live music. Going into this show, I didn\u2019t have any intention of writing an article about it, as I knew very little about Bobby Long. A friend of mine asked me to go to the show with her as she had stumbled across his music while wandering around the internet one night, and I agreed, because I love discovering new people and I adore British singers for some reason.\nI was optimistic\u2026 the location of the concert was absolutely my speed, a small bar in the South Side of Pittsburgh called Club Cafe. It only holds about 100 people max, and was set up with small tables and some bar stools. We sat in the second row, and I love having the chance to be up close and personal with musicians.\nAfter the opening act, Bobby Long got on stage. Just him, his guitar and harmonica. The best description of his music that I can come up with is a cross between rock, blues and folk. It\u2019s not a hard rock sound by any stretch, but his faster songs will have you tapping your foot to the beat. His lyrics are heartfelt and seem to hint at experiences beyond what a normal 24 year old should have. He told stories in between songs that were funny and gave some insight into his personality. His guitar playing is impressive both live an on cd.\nTwo of his songs really stuck with me, one titled \u201cWho Have You Been Loving\u201d and \u201cPenance Fire Blues\u201d (video of it live from a different show. The second is the most he rocked out during the evening and is just a great song overall.\nAt the end of the night, after playing for about an 90 minutes straight, he was done for the evening, and went to a small table to sell shirts, posters and CDs. After that show, I knew I wanted a CD, so after a brief wait in line, I bought my copy and Bobby signed my CD and posed for a picture.\nThis young musician is just starting out, and I personally think that this is someone a lot of people will be talking about in the next one to two years. So I\u2019ll hold on to my picture and autographed CD (that also has my name spelled correctly on it!) so that I can say that I saw him before he hit it big.\nA Winter Talebobby longclub cafePenance Fire BluespittsburghPittsburgh; Bobby Long; Club Cafe",

In addition, their average annual household income is reported to be more than $147,000, reinforcing the affluent nature of timeshare owners who visit the island.\nThese are some of the findings from the St. Maarten Timeshare Owner, Exchanger, and Guest Survey, which was co-sponsored by Interval International and the St. Maarten Timeshare Association (SMTA). The report was compiled by the Shared Ownership Services division of HVS, a leading hotel consulting and valuation firm.\n\u201cAs the survey indicates, timeshare owners are contributing appreciably to the island economy in many areas as it relates to on property and off property purchases,\u201d said Ricardo Perez, general manager of Oyster Bay Beach Resort and SMTA board member. \u201cWhile their spending supports local businesses, we\u2019re also very encouraged by the large number of respondents \u2014 90 percent \u2014 who expressed their desire to return to St. Maarten for future vacations.\u201d\nThe majority of respondents were from the U.S. and Canada (88 and 6 percent, respectively)\nAbout 30 percent had household incomes greater than $150,000\nAverage age was 60.6 years\nAverage travel party size was 3.3 persons\nThose aged 41 to 55 spent the most on entertainment and nightlife (average of $359 combined for both on and off premises)\nAverage spend for off-premise dining was $631 (82 percent more than on site)\nSpending for groceries was $261 (50 percent more than on premises)\nThe off premises shopping average per respondent was $794 (130 percent more than on-site)\nInterval International conducted the online survey of its members who own timeshare on St. Maarten and/or visited within the last three years. In addition, the SMTA forwarded the survey to other timeshare owners and their guests who previously visited the destination.

        "raw_content": "Festival, interrupted\nThe Britdoc festival made a noisy debut on the international doc calendar last year, hosting three packed days of sessions and films, and a full delegate list of leading doc players. This year\u2019s Britdoc proved a quieter affair, with fewer star-studded panels and noticeably less attendees \u2013 a situation not helped by record flooding in Oxford. The future now looks uncertain for this fledgling event. Realscreen talked to Britdoc festival director Beadie Finzie about this year\u2019s installment, and the possibilities for the future.\nWhat was the biggest challenge in putting on the second year of the fest?\nSecond album syndrome. I kind of thought it would be really easy. I mean last year was just ludicrously successful, and positive, and everyone loved it. And I think we just thought it was going to be a breeze. And of course it\u2019s not. It\u2019s really tough raising money. It\u2019s really tough getting people to come, because they are busy and it costs them money. So we really had to sell it very hard all over again.\nWere fees an issue with producers?\nWell, we barely break even. It\u2019s literally what it costs to do this. I know how tight money can be. But I would argue very passionately that paying \u00a3150 (us$305) to come here for the day, the sessions that you get and the access to people that you get, I don\u2019t think you could put a price tag on that.\nNokia was unable to return as a partnering sponsor this year \u2013 why?\nThey were so keen to come in and they were in and signed up for year two, but then tragically had some unforeseen cuts. Very late in the day actually. We were very sad because they were terrific partners and I\u2019m sure we will do business again. It\u2019s tough \u2013 unfortunately the marketplace is a tough place and they get shocks too.\nWill we see a third Britdoc festival?\nWe\u2019re considering our options. It\u2019s tough for us to finance it. Technically, our core funding from Channel 4 runs out the middle to end of next year. I don\u2019t know if we\u2019re going to be able to do it next year. I\u2019m going to fight very, very hard to be able to keep offering these opportunities in whatever way we can.\nIf you don\u2019t go ahead with the festival next year, where will those extra energies go?\nAt the end of the day, our mission is about empowering British documentary, whatever is right at that moment. A key area is pitching and teaching producers how to operate on the international copro market. After just two years of Britdoc, I think they\u2019re beginning to get the story. But it is a huge other step to actually start participating. I think we need to help shove people over the edge and get them to jump.\nWhat do you think is the biggest challenge facing the UK doc world at the moment?\nIt is hard not to be dispirited in the television climate. There\u2019re fewer slots and they\u2019re marginalized to the ends of the schedules, and therefore there is less money attached to them. The only regular business you can get is in factual entertainment, formatted shows. It is quite tough to keep your chin up. So, I guess that is hopefully where we can step in, to say, \u2018Well, look actually, look up and out: there are other kinds of films to be made and other kinds of slots to be filled.\u2019",

It was first released in North America for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989 and was later ported to the Game Boy in 1990. The story involves Scrooge McDuck traveling around the globe collecting treasure and outwitting his rival Flintheart Glomgold to become the world\u2019s richest duck.\nDuckTales was followed by a sequel, DuckTales 2, in 1993. A Remastered version of DuckTales developed by WayForward Technologies, featuring high resolution graphics and most of the original voice cast from the show, was released in 2013 for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U. The original 8-bit version of the game was also included in The Disney Afternoon Collection compilation for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.\nMega Man 4, known in Japan as Rockman 4: Aratanaru Yab\u014d!!

Rokkuman F\u014d Aratanaru Yab\u014d!!, lit. \u201cRockman 4: A New Ambition!!\u201d), is an action-platform game developed by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the fourth game in the original Mega Man series and was originally released in Japan in 1991. The game was localized in North America the following January, and in Europe in 1993.\nThe game\u2019s story takes place after the third defeat and supposed death of Dr. Wily, and features the Earth coming under threat from a mysterious scientist named Dr. Cossack and his eight \u201cRobot Masters\u201d. Fearing the worst, Dr. Light sends Mega Man to save the world once again. Mega Man 4 carries on the same action and platforming gameplay as the first three games, in which the player completes a series of stages in any order and adds the weapon of each stage\u2019s boss to Mega Man\u2019s arsenal. One notable added feature is the \u201cNew Mega Buster\u201d (often shortened to \u201cMega Buster\u201d), an upgraded arm cannon that lets the player charge a regular shot into a much more powerful blast. The development team was mindful that this innovation would change the overall feel of the game.\nDespite Mega Man 4 receiving positive critical reviews during its early 1990s release, the game is widely regarded today to represent a downward shift from the quality of the first three games in the series. The Mega Buster itself has been considered an overused mechanic by several sources. Mega Man 4 was re-released on the Japanese PlayStation, PlayStation Network, and mobile phones; the North American Mega Man Anniversary Collection; and worldwide on the Virtual Console for 3 Nintendo systems (Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Wii U).\nBack to the Future (NES) \u2013 Positives \u2013 Rerez\nExcitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Staidum (Satellaview) Review \u2013 Dubious Gaming\nGun.Smoke (NES) \u2013 Retro Gaming Review\nSega History in The USA (Later Years) \u2013 RWTV The Show Ep 7 \u2013 Part 6 of 6",

        "title": "FRG: Modeling Waves and Sediment Transport in Coastal Zones | The Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Research Inventory",
        "raw_content": "Proposed here is a study featuring models for the interaction of surface and internal oceanic waves with sediment-laden bottom topography. The project includes derivation and mathematical analysis of models, development of algorithms for the approximation of solutions, implementation of the algorithms as computer codes, comparisons of the output of numerical simulations with field data, the use of the models for prediction and their development as a tool for effective coastal engineering. The basic issue under consideration is challenging in that it involves the temporal evolution of two free surfaces whose dynamics are connected in a complex and nonlinear way. The wave motion involves the deformation of the water's surface, or in the case of internal waves, the pycnoclines. Even over a fixed bottom, these issues are difficult in their exact formulation, and consequently model equations are typically used. In the present conception, the bottom is not fixed, and this added complexity is what makes the issues proposed here for study scientifically very interesting. In view are three-dimensional models that are initiated by incoming wave fields from deep water. These models will allow for long-shore variation and take account of reflection. It is planned to develop such models and to test them extensively against both laboratory experiments and field observation. Comparisons are in view at several sites around the world, including the Field Research Facility of the US Army Corps of Engineers at Duck, NC, a site of the Polish Academy of Sciences on the Baltic Sea, the North Coast of the Magdelan Islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Gold Coast of Australia, the Island of Djerba off the Tunisian coast and two regions in Morocco (Alger in the Gibraltar Strait and Agadir on the Atlantic coast). <br/><br/>The motivation for carrying out the study outlined above is several-fold. First is the pure science of the subject. The project involves interesting and substantial issues from hydrodynamics, partial differential equations, and sediment transport theory. Secondly, it is an ideal venue in which to acquaint students with interdisciplinary research. There is a strong practical reason for this study as well. The erosion and retreat of coastlines is a worldwide phenomenon. Global warming will increase the activity of storms, raise the sea level, and further degrade the present, sometimes catastrophic state of many beaches. Fragile Arctic coasts, beaches on the Great lakes and on many coastal regions already display the unmistakable signs of deterioration caused by these global changes and aggravated by social developmental pressure. Severe erosion is likely to spread to many coastal areas within half a century and thus increase the demand for effective prevention methods. The present project aims at deepening our understanding of fundamental wave-bottom interaction processes, especially as regards sediment dispersal. Going beyond the science, the project also grapples with the intelligent use of this kind of knowledge in designing coastal protection strategies. With experience already in hand, it is clear that there are a variety of protection options and that it is not always smart to simply build some permanent, often-ugly structure. So-called 'soft' protection methods are a useful addition to the reperatoire of the coastal engineer. These are much less expensive when they can be made to work. The assessment of the practicality of a protection plan, be it 'hard' or 'soft' relies upon the kind of knowledge investigated under the auspices of this project.",

        "title": "Proposed prison reform act will provide ex-offenders better opportunities - Right on Crime",
        "raw_content": "Proposed prison reform act will provide ex-offenders better opportunities\nThis article by executive director of the Faith & Freedom Coalition and Right on Crime signatory Tim Head originally appeared in The Hill May 7th, 2018.\nSix million, seven hundred forty-one thousand, four hundred. That\u2019s how many Americans are currently in our criminal justice system. One hundred eighty-three thousand, eight hundred fifty-four. That\u2019s how many Americans are within our federal criminal justice system.\nThe large federal prison population also comes with a massive price tag. The federal Bureau of Prisons\u2019 budget has doubled to approximately $7 billion over the past decade and now constitutes roughly 25 percent of the U.S. Department of Justice\u2019s total operating budget.\nApproximately 95 percent of those state and federal prisoners are released into our communities at some point and most alarming is that nearly 50 percent will be re-arrestedfor a new crime or rearrested for supervision violations.\nThese numbers are not sustainable. If there is to be any lasting change to our justice system, ex-offenders must receive an opportunity to redeem themselves, find dignity and become a valued, contributing member of society.\nOur current system, however, does not give this to them even after they\u2019re released; it forces them to serve a life sentence in an invisible \u201csecond prison.\u201d A life sentence blocks the formerly incarcerated from housing (how to get a lease with no credit?), education (three in five colleges use a background check) and employment (nine out of 10 employers do the same) \u2014 in short, all the things necessary for a fresh start. Small wonder that a Bureau of Justice Statistics report found that two-thirds of released prisoners were re-arrested within three years. They were never released.\nThe realities of our justice system, the system that traps offenders in a cycle of incarceration, has captured the attention of many members of Congress and the White House.\nPresident Donald J. Trump declared April \u201cSecond Chances Month,\u201d stating, \u201caffording those who have been held accountable for their crimes an opportunity to become contributing members of society is a critical element of criminal justice that can reduce our crime rates and prison populations, decrease burdens to the American taxpayer, and make America safer.\u201d\nOn the heels of President Trump\u2019s Second Chances Month proclamation, the \u2018\u2018Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed 6 Safely Transitioning Every Person Act\u2019\u2019 (The First STEP Act) (H.R. 3356), introduced by Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.). and a group of 21 bipartisan co-sponsors, is scheduled for a vote before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee within the next few weeks.\nThis bipartisan legislation promotes public safety and gives people in prison access to the transformational programming they need to earn back the public\u2019s trust and to return home as good spouses, parents and neighbors.\nCrime demands accountability. It\u2019s not a question of whether to punish wrongdoing, but for how long and for what purpose. Punishment should be proportionate to the offense and prisons should reflect the social values we expect men and women to practice upon release.\nThis legislation reflects these goals and will help to restore all parties impacted by crime and incarceration.\nIn a 2013 study conducted by Rand Corporation, researchers found that inmates who participate in academic or vocational education programs while imprisoned are 43 percent less likely to return to prison than those who do not. Employment after release was 13 percent higher among prisoners who participated in either than those who did not. Those who participated in vocational training were 28 percent more likely to be employed after release from prison than who did not receive such training.\nBottom line \u2014 correctional education programs and vocational training work.\nThe Prison Reform and Redemption Act implement a post-sentencing risk assessment system within the federal Bureau of Prisons to determine a person\u2019s risk of reoffending.\nThe Bureau of Prisons would be ordered to utilize proven recidivism reduction programs such as drug rehabilitation, education, skills training, classes on faith and work programs for all federal prisoners in partnership with non-profit and faith-based organizations.\nProven programs, and provide incentives to participate in those programs. Ultimately, prisoners could earn credits toward an alternative custody arrangement \u2014 such as a halfway house or home confinement \u2014 near the end of their prison sentence.\nAll federal prisoners who are eligible to participate and who complete one or more recidivism reduction programs receive for incentives developed by the Bureau of Prisons, such as increased telephone or visitation privileges.\nThe Prison Reform and Redemption Act also extends compassionate release for elderly and terminally ill prisoners and requires the Bureau of Prisons to provide feminine hygiene products to female inmates and prohibits the use of restraints on pregnant prisoners \u2014 both long overdue policies.\nAlso, recognizing the importance of maintaining family relationships during incarceration, the legislation requires prisoners to be placed in a facility as close as practicable to the prisoner\u2019s family residence. These provisions all serve to make our prison system more humane and more effective.\nTo further assist with re-entry to civil society, the Prison Reform and Redemption Act requires the Bureau of Prisons to help prisoners obtain identification (including a social security card, driver\u2019s license or other official photo identification and a birth certificate) prior to release so that they can find housing and apply for employment.\nFor the past several years, our organization and the entire faith community has actively supported a wide variety of federal and state initiatives to improve our criminal justice system. While there is much more we hope to see done in the future, the Prison Reform and Redemption Act is a critical step forward that will increase public safety, reduce costs, strengthen families and change lives for the better.\nA clear path for significant prison reform exists and conservative-leaning states like Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and Kentucky have made great strides in helping non-violent offenders get back on their feet and now is the time for Congress to act on reforms to reduce recidivism and restore lives.\nWe hope that Congress will take advantage of this rare point of agreement as an opportunity to renew our national dialogue. Continued disagreement and infighting only perpetuate the system that wastes taxpayer money and rips apart American families. We can help ex-offenders take the long, hard road of redemption by having the humility to walk it ourselves.",

All are welcome to attend and participate.\nThe Christmas season is a time of the year that most people really look forward to and enjoy. There is nothing like being with the ones you love during the most wonderful and magical time of the year. However, there are some families whose Christmas\u2019 will not be the same this year. Someone they love is missing from the dinner table this year. There is a Christmas card that won\u2019t be given or received this year, or the next. There is a laugh missing, a hug whose warmth they won\u2019t feel. For those who have lost someone they love over the past year and even years gone before, grief is often intensified during this time. Many people often hide their pain because they don\u2019t want to ruin the joy that everyone else around them is experiencing. Those extended family and friends are often afraid to bring up the deceased because they are afraid to upset anyone.\nFor the last 21 years Our Funeral Homes have been hosting a Candlelight Service of Remembrance. We understand that the Holiday season is difficult for those who are grieving, and we wanted to give them an opportunity during the season to acknowledge and express their grief. It is also a great opportunity for the community to come together and remind the bereaved that they are not alone. During our service we have many different community members, community leaders and community clergy come and participate. We have everyone light a Candle of Remembrance of their loved one in a beautiful moment of silence. We also create a Memorial Tribute of those who have passed away in the last year. Afterwards we invite everyone to a time of refreshment and memories. Our communities have both really appreciated this service every year and the services are always well attended.\nChristmas is a time where everyone comes together, and when you have lost a dear loved one; that is when you need to be surrounded with care and love the most.\nThe Candlelight Service of Remembrance will be held on Sunday, December 2nd, 2018 at the Chapel of the Rocky Mountain House Funeral Home at 2:00 pm. All are welcome to attend and participate.",

Cheering crowds began to appear outside the palace.\nToday and tomorrow have been proclaimed as national holidays. Sofia's streets will be brightly illuminated tonight in honor of the princess' birth.\nAlthough everyone had been hoping for a male heir, the birth of a princess \"postpones political difficulties\" that would have arisen if Giovanna had given birth to a son.\nKing Boris is no longer in the position of having to fulfill his promise to Pope Pius, which was made before the Pope would allow the marriage to take place. The King had agreed to raise his children as Roman Catholics, although this would decision would have caused a \"serious issue\" as the eldest son of the King must be Orthodox, according to the Bulgarian constitution.\nIt is expected that the infant princess will be baptised and raised in the Roman Catholic faith of her mother.\nThe name of the infant princess has not been announced.",

As it is noted on the site of BG Group, the currently production at the deposit is carried out at the highest level and is about 45% of the total gas production in Kazakhstan and 16% of the production of liquid hydrocarbons.\nThe delay in Kashagan makes Kazakhstan worsen the prognosis for the oil production.\nKazakhstan Oil and Gas Kazakhstan Oil and Gas BG Group Chevron Texaco ENI Gas KazMunayGas Lukoil Oil\nOn the background of the delay in the project to develop the Kashagan field, Kazakhstan has downgraded its forecast for the oil production to 81.8 million tons in 2014 from the previous target of 83 million tons, Daniyar Berlibayev, the deputy head of Kazakhstan's national company \"KazMunaiGas\", stated.\n\"There is a decision on the termination of large-scale investments into the second phase of the Kashagan. All the plans for the future may depend on the field data obtained during the pilot phase\", - D.Berlibayev told the Bloomberg agency.\nAccording to the forecast of the \"KazMunaiGas\" representative this year the production from the existing fields in the country will increase by 1.2 million tons, which is also lower than the previous forecast of 1.5 million tons.\nLast year the country produced 81.8 million tons of oil. A substantial portion of this amount (27 million tons) provided the project of developing the Tengiz oil field by the joint venture \"Tengizchevroil\" (Chevron - 50%, \"KazMunaiGas\" - 20%, ExxonMobil - 25% and Lukoil - 5%).\nIn addition, in 2013 the Karachaganak field brought 12 million tons, which is developed by BG (29,25%), Eni (29,25%), Chevron (18%), Lukoil (13.5%) and \"KazMunaiGas\" (10%).\nKMG EP withdraws from the project because of the hopelessness of White bear.\nKazakhstan Oil and Gas Kazakhstan Oil and Gas BG Group Gas Oil\nThe Kazakh company JSC \"\"KazMunaiGas\" Exploration Production\" (KMG EP is a part of \"KazMunaiGas\" companies) withdraws from the \"White Bear\" project, Abat Nurseitov, the head of KMG EP, stated at a press conference on Wednesday.\n\"Yes, we go out of this project.

As it is known, the production there was planned to be started in 2005, but difficulties with pilot commercial development made investors repeatedly postpone the start of the development. And all the while costs of the consortium increased. Total expenses of the project grew from $57 billion to $136 billion (and according to some reports they have exceeded $180 billion). At the same time, the value of the first stage of the pilot commercial development increased from initial $5 billion to $46 billion.

        "title": "PREVIEW: Tope Fasua, The Economist Who Wants To 'Renew' Nigeria | Sahara Reporters",
        "raw_content": "PREVIEW: Tope Fasua, The Economist Who Wants To 'Renew' Nigeria\nIn the first of SaharaReporters' presidential election review series, we examine Tope Fasua, candidate of the Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party(ANRP).\nWhen Nigerians go to the polls on Saturday, Tope Fasua of the Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) will be one of the options before them. But how much do they know about him, and what are his chances of winning?\nTope Fasua was born in September 11, 1971 in Lagos State. His father is from Ondo State and his mother, Ogun State. He attended St. Christopher Primary School, Isolo and Santa Maria Private School, Olorunsogo, Mushin between 1976 and 1981. He was in Form 1 at a Jakande School in Okota and 12 years old when his family moved to his father\u2019s State \u2014 Ondo.\nOn getting to Ondo, he finished his secondary education in 1985 at Army Comprehensive High School in Akure. After his secondary education, he was offered admission both at the University of Lagos and at the Ondo State University (now called the Ekiti State University). He was offered admission to study Psychology in UNILAG and Economics at the Ondo State University. Tope \u2014 because of proximity of the latter \u2014 opted for Ondo State University.\nHe graduated as the best student both from his department and faculty in 1991. Tope had his compulsory National Youth Service at the Institute of Education, where he served as an administrative officer \u2014 at the University of Calabar. He became a chartered accountant in 1996; he is a fellow of ICAN.\nIn 2006, he left Nigeria for the United Kingdom to study Financial Derivatives (a branch of investment banking) at the London Metropolitan University and earned a Master\u2019s degree from the University and he finished with Distinction. He is currently a fellow academic with his Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration in view at Walden University.\nCAREER BEFORE POLITICS\nAfter his youth service at the University of Calabar, Fasua joined the banking sector. He Started as a trainee banking officer in the Operations Unit at Citizens Bank Limited, Victoria Island, Lagos. After spending four years at Citizen Bank, he moved to Standard Trust Bank where he served as a Manager. He worked as Senior Manager at Equitorial Trust Bank Limited and got promoted to the rank of Regional Manager in Abuja from 2001 to 2005.\nAfter his study in the UK, he started his consulting firm, Global Analytics Consulting firm, with his former professor, Duncan Hughes. Tope Fasua is the CEO of Global Analytics headquartered in Abuja and a branch in the United Arab Emirates. The firm has since morphed from focusing solely on finance to getting involved in management, strategy and a bit of human resources.\nTope Fasua is an author with six books to his credit. He titled his first book \u2018Crushed! Navigating Africa\u2019s Tortuous Quest for Development\u2019. He is also a columnist on various leading Nigerian Newspapers; he has been consistent in contributing articles on global and national economic matters. Tope keeps featuring as an analyst on various TV and Radio programmes.\nPOLITICAL ANTECEDENTS\nFasua hasn\u2019t been in politics a long time. On December 16, 2016, he led a group of Nigerians to form a political party known as Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) and on December 14, 2017, the party was finally announced a registered political party by the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC). On May, 17 2018, at the ANRP National Executive Committee Meeting, Fasua announced his intention to join the race to seek nomination to run for presidency.\nThe first one has to be his expertise as an economist. Fasua is an economist and accountant of over two-decade standing. His understanding of the economy is superb and his ability to give facts and accurate figures while doing economic prognosis and analysis is unrivalled. He is indeed an authority on the economy. This may win for him the votes of those who believe that once you fix the economy the polity is secure.\nAlso, he is untainted. He hasn\u2019t been in politics, and can\u2019t be run down with the cross of corruption hanging around the neck of most candidates with prior political experience.\nAt just 47 years of age, Fasua appeals to the youth. There are Nigerians who have grown disenchanted with the idea of electing someone from the old guard; to this lot, Fasua will certainly be one of the alternatives.\nHe runs on the platform of a fringe party. Tope Fasua\u2019s ANRP is well-known among the elites and, perhaps, in the South-West alone. This is a big minus for him, particularly as the voting population is largely non-elitist.\nHe lacks social capital. Going by his own admission in an interview, Tope Fasua is not the outgoing, gregarious type of man. He doesn\u2019t attend parties. This will count against him since politics is a game of number. Being an astute economist, Fasua himself knows both tangible and intangible social capital can be leveraged for political gain.",

        "raw_content": "homeless,Middle East,Perouz Farokhkish,recovery,shreveport,The Salvation Army,veterans\nPerouz Farokhkish is proud of his service in the United States Army. Growing up Christian in Lake Charles, Louisiana to a Middle Eastern father and American mother, he saw no signs of prejudice or hatred. When he returned home after two tours supporting the war in Iraq, he couldn\u2019t help but notice something was different.\n\u201cThe best I can describe it is like a Vietnam veteran, it was very difficult,\u201d said Farokhkish. \u201cFor me, I was a man just like anyone else.\u201d\nFollowing the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on 9/11, Farokhkish says his Middle Eastern decent made him stand out. He isolated himself, not leaving home very much. Looking back now he says he didn\u2019t trust people especially the Veterans Administration Hospitals he needed to get help. For fifteen years, Farokhkish kept to himself, kept his thoughts and feelings locked inside.\n\u201cWhen you get out, there was nothing there to help you re-balance, so you get out and all you know is to run, and if you can\u2019t run, if something trips you, you are a complete and total failure.\u201d\nThen a referral to The Salvation Army in Shreveport changed his life. Perouz says the compassion showed by the staff in the Veteran\u2019s shelter and by the officers helped him open up.\n\u201cI always needed to talk but didn\u2019t know who would allow me to let it out,\u201d said Farokhkish. \u201cBeing able to talk to other veterans was greatly helpful. For me to be able to help the elderly veterans to navigate simple things like a cell phone, it was therapeutic to think even here I could give back.\u201d\nPerouz stayed in the veterans\u2019 shelter for five months. He now is enrolled at Louisiana State University-Shreveport studying Psychology. He is grateful to those who helped him at The Salvation Army and volunteers to this day.\n\u201cFinding other veterans who experienced similar situations was really comforting,\u201d said Farokhkish. \u201cAnd gave me a lot of solace to know that you can come out of that. It doesn\u2019t have to stay that way forever.\u201d\nThe Salvation Army of Shreveport has worked hand in hand with the Overton Brooks VA Hospital by providing transitional and emergency housing for homeless Veterans both male and female.\nThe veterans shelter offers 29 beds, 24 for men and five for women.\nIn 2016, The Salvation Army provided nearly 8,000 nights of lodging for veterans and over 20,000 meals serving 250 veterans overall.\nTo get more information on how The Salvation Army is helping veterans in Shreveport, please click here.",

        "raw_content": "During a past life regression, a female client experienced her life as a little boy. His main occupation was playing with toys. One toy was so insanely dangerous that you might wonder if she was making it up. However, I did my research and can confirm that it's a true vintage toy! By finding the toy, I could estimate the year of her past life to be about 1843 A.D. There is no way that my client ever heard about this toy prior to her session, which lends support to believing in this past life. But, you can make up your own mind when you read this short clip shared with permission.\nA charming Denmark city laid nestled in a valley, decorated with spruce and fairy lights. Music permeated the air as a band and choir strolled the streets. Lots of things were planned for the Christmas fair like games, candies, food, and hot drinks.\nMeanwhile, a boy played with his toys on a wooden floor in front of a warm fireplace. Little Thomas wore leather sandals, pants, and a tunic the colour of nature. His short, dark hair glistened by the flames. In his imagination he moved a small, wooden train. \"Feeling dizzy,\" he said.\nCynthia: Maybe you'd feel better with something to eat. Let's leave the living room and go into the kitchen for some food. What are you eating?\nThomas: It's good soup.\nCynthia: Is there anyone else at the table with you?\nThomas: No. They are busy working, building, and doing carpentry. Papa is making toys out of wood. I see Papa turning one in his hands while he is working on it. He's proud of his work. Mama is sewing small clothes for the dolls. They are going to sell them at the toy store.\nCynthia: Do you have any brothers or sisters?\nThomas: They are not here. They are at school. I am the youngest.\nCynthia: What do you do with the majority of your day?\nThomas: I play with my toys. Sometimes I paint one. Papa says I have to be careful. My parents own the toy store down the street not far away. I like going there and to the candy store next door.\nCynthia: Then let's leave the kitchen and move to the toy store. What do you see?\nThomas: I see lots of toys of different kinds. There are some toys I can't touch. They are for the rich. They are made of metal, highly polished and pretty. Not like mine, which is basic. But we are happy and smiling.\nCynthia: Is it a busy store?\nThomas: The store isn't opened yet, but soon. Papa is happy today, because a holiday is coming and there are lots of toys to be sold. It's a special time of celebrations.\nCynthia: Is there something you want to play with when your parents aren't looking?\nThomas: (Soft chuckled) I want to play with the steam engine. It moves when there is a fire in it. It's made by Papa's friend. They are new steam engines and very expensive. It's a popular toy among the rich, which is good Papa says. Mama just laughs. I like to watch it move and put little bits in it, but they are afraid that I will get burned.\nOkay, there is a lot more to this past life, but for this Blog we're ending it here to show you the train that little Thomas was talking about -- the Model Dockyard Locomotive created by the Stevens Company in 1843. It was one of the first toy trains that children could move. It was also before train tracks came with toy trains. The Model Dockyard Locomotive had a real engine that was propelled by steam. Children had to pour kerosene or alcohol into the train and then light it with a match. The toy had the nickname \"Dribbler or Piddler\" because it leaked the liquid you put into it all over the floor! Lovely. So, be grateful that we live in the age of Consumer Affairs. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Joyful Kwanza, Las Posadas, Winter Solstice, and any special day you celebrate.\nDangerous Vintage Toys",

Morgan Chase. The purpose of the event is to recognize agencies that have developed innovative ways to avoid bureaucratic red tape for the betterment of local economies and communities.\nThe Quality of Life Team was nominated for their innovative and collaborative approach to providing a solution to address visible blight concerns expressed by San Bernardino residents and business community. Four finalists from the region competed in the Public-Private Partnership category, and the San Bernardino team was awarded and recognized for the partnership formed with solid waste company, Burrtec, in response to the needs of the community.\nSince its inception, the Quality of Life Team has encountered and resolved thousands of complaints in relation to concerns expressed by businesses and residents in San Bernardino. Their efforts have created visible improvement to city parks, vacant lots, as well as many other important thoroughfares within the City. The team has used a proactive approach to solving resident issues and has been touted by families and businesses that have developed rapport with the team members. The partnership with Burrtec has not only allowed the team to respond to the community\u2019s needs more adequately, it has made room for Burrtec to become a fixture in the city\u2019s weekly strategic meetings, shaping and improving the team in its effort toward improving the quality of life in the community.\n\u201cThe proactive manner by which the team deals with issues of illegal dumping and beautifying our public spaces is something to be proud of. I am grateful for the commitment and dedication of each member of the Quality of Life Team and I congratulate them on their victory,\u201d Mayor Davis said in response to the team\u2019s win.\nThe Quality of Life Team has continued its collaboration with neighboring agencies, nonprofit partners, and community based organizations. The team, led by San Bernardino Police Lieutenant Richard Lawhead, has made it a point to engage residents, local businesses, and vested partners. The coordination between the Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation Departments, and Burrtec addresses concerns on a daily basis, and it has sparked a communal interest in creating a safe, clean and attractive area for business and residents. Congratulations to the San Bernardino Quality of Life Team.",

        "raw_content": "Hubble Has Delivered New Pics of Saturn\u2019s Aurora And They Are Absolutely Stunning\nSaturn has been out there getting up to its old tricks again: looking really spectacular and being super interesting. This time, it\u2019s in a series of photos taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, showing the planet\u2019s breathtaking auroras.\nOver a period of seven months in 2017, the space-based telescope used its Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph to study Saturn\u2019s auroras before and after the summer solstice in its northern hemisphere \u2013 the best time for viewing them.\nHere on Earth, the auroras are generated by solar winds, which interact with charged particles (mainly protons and electrons) in our magnetosphere.\nThese charged particles then rain into the ionosphere and travel along the planet\u2019s magnetic field lines to the poles, where interactions with other particles, such as oxygen and nitrogen, manifest as dancing lights in the sky.\nAuroras are not unique to Earth, though \u2013 not by a long shot. In the Solar System, other planets have auroras too \u2013 Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. And there are exoplanets out there that also show evidence of auroral activity.\nThey\u2019re not quite the same as our Earth auroras. Jupiter\u2019s permanent aurora, for instance, isn\u2019t caused by the solar wind, but some mysterious mechanism yet to be discovered.\nAnd while Saturn\u2019s main auroral ring seems to be solar wind-generated, there are patches of it that\u2026 aren\u2019t. That\u2019s also still a mystery.\nAnd, unlike Earth\u2019s auroras, Saturn\u2019s (and Jupiter\u2019s, Uranus\u2019s and Neptune\u2019s, for that matter) can\u2019t be seen in visible light, since the interactions that cause them are largely hydrogen-based.\n(ESA/Hubble, NASA, A. Simon (GSFC) and the OPAL Team, J. DePasquale (STScI), L. Lamy (Observatoire de Paris))\nBut the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph can see them in the ultraviolet wavelength in which they do show up. To make this image you see, the ultraviolet data of the aurora was added to optical data of the planet for a stunning composite.\nThe observations were also timed to coincide with Cassini\u2019s Grand Finale mission, in which the little probe \u2013 may it rest in peace \u2013 took closer observations of the planet\u2019s auroral region than ever before.\nThe combined data show rich and varied auroral activity, the Hubble team said.\n\u201cThe variability of the auroras is influenced by both the solar wind and the rapid rotation of Saturn, which lasts only about 11 hours,\u201d they wrote in an image release.\nPrevious Hubble observations of Saturn\u2019s auroras revealed the presence of radio wave activity \u2013 which is also associated with Earth auroras \u2013 and a polar auroral asymmetry that indicated an uneven magnetic field.",

His son, Jeff Springer, appears in one of the photographs.\nHenry Springer (1921-2014) was born on 10 November 1921 to Mordechai and Leah Springer in Szczebrzeszyn, Poland. He had two sisters, Brenda and Faigie and one brother, Charles. Seven generations of Springers in Poland were butchers. During the Second World War, the whole family survived as prisoners of Russian labour camps. Following the end of the war, they spent four years in a displaced persons camp in Austria named Steyr, then immigrated to Canada, arriving in Quebec City in 1949. They migrated to Toronto with the assistance of JIAS and the Springer family in Kingston.\nAfter a few years of working in an upholstery factory, Henry and his brother Charles partnered to open a kosher butcher store called Springer\u2019s Kosher Meats, on Augusta Ave. in Kensington Market. In 1958, they opened a second location at 3393 Bathurst St., following the Jewish community's move north. A year or so later they closed the location on Augusta and focused exclusively on the Bathurst St. location until its closing in 1995. Their father Mordechai also worked at the business up until his death in 1982.\nThe store sold fresh meat, chicken and fish and some delicatessen and was well known for its chickens.\nHenry Springer was married to Shriley Springer and together had three children: Rochelle, Hannah and Jeff. He died on 3 November 2014 just shy of his 93rd birthday.\nSpringer's Kosher Meats\nSpringer, Jeff\nSpringer, Henry, 1921-2014\nBathurst Street (Toronto, Ont.)\nKosher food 1\nSpringer, Henry, 1921-2014 1\nSpringer, Jeff 1\nSpringer's Kosher Meats 1",

        "raw_content": "Reasons Why You Should Invest In Rental Property.\nThere are many reasons why you should invest in a property that will increase your income. Therefore, you will realize that there are numerous advantages that are related to investing in rental properties. That indicates that a competent agent will give you high-quality services whereas an incompetent agent will disappoint you. That mean that you should try to investigate different agents until you find the one that you are comfortable with. You cannot determine whether a particular real estate agent is the best unless you investigate them. Also, make an effort to learn about the market and property patterns so that you can know the real estate agent that is well informed and the one that is not.\nThat means that you should understand the factors that you are supposed to consider so that you can be able to differentiate between a good agent and the one that is only interested in your money. A real estate agent is an individual that you will work with for a long duration. When you research different real estate agent then you will have an opportunity to compare their services and costs and then pick the one that you are comfortable with.\nAnother consideration when looking for an agent is whether he is able to express his thoughts and feelings properly. That means that you should only hire a real estate agent that you know has good communication skills and will do everything to ensure that you are satisfied with the services that you receive.\nIt is important to rely on word of mouth when searching for a service provider. There are numerous websites that you can look at online. A real estate agent that has a poorly arranged site indicates that he is not serious about his company or the impression that he makes to his customers and hence he is not the best choice for you. Also, you should go through the online comments and find out whether your potential agents are rated highly by their former customers. That is because in the modern times the most successful businesses are the ones that have realized the importance of the Internet that connects them to a wide range of customers.\nEnsure that you look at the professionals as they address your issues and determine whether they are certain about what they are saying. If your potential agent seems bothered by your questions then it means that he is not right choice for you. Some of the questions that you should ask the professionals is whether they are licensed. You should remember to consider the prices of the real estate agent services.\nMake sure that you ask for price estimates from various real estate agents and try to compare them. Therefore, you should be patient as you conduct your research.\nPowered by WordPress | click here now | Thanks to see this, here and website here",

        "raw_content": "So Johnny got banished. Too bad, I rarely agreed with anything he wrote but he kept things lively.\nI hope he is not banned for good! I like him.\nThe universe wastes nothing, it's simply transferred.\nHere the moderators seem stricter than at Test4Theory@home, LHC@home and Einstein@home where a volunteer attacking the Test4Theory@home project is still allowed to post his attacks, totally unfounded.\nI hope he is not banned for good! I like him\nMost likely a 2 week vacation no worries\nThere are general rules that each project has, and the specifics of what is allowed/not allowed is up to each individual project. You mention projects where the individual's rants against T4T are still visible, you didn't mention the other projects that have removed them. Does that make them more strict? Why didn't you mention them? Also, since the individual who is attacking T4T hasn't posted here yet I fail to see how that could be interpreted as us being more strict.\nI found his thread inviting people not to join Test4Theory@home both in Einstein@home and LHC@home, in which I am taking part. I cannot scan all BOINC projects, but, as I wrote in my latest post at Einstein@home, Cafe Einstein, I think no volunteer should be allowed to use the forums of other projects to attack a project is which he is taking part. This was the tactics of a guy called Dagorath who was banned from most projects for his habit of insulting people who did not agree with him, like myself. I think he has reappeared under a different name.\nI've read Jacques Monod's \"Chance and necessity\" and \"La logique du vivant\" by Francis Jacob. They, molecular biologists, both believe that life developed by casual fluctuations in a \"primaeval broth\", but this is contrary to the laws of thermodynamics, where the entropy of every closed system is increasing. The opposite view is taken by scientists like Erwin Schroedinger who, at the end of his book \"What is life?\", written in 1948 before the discovery of DNA wrote: \"God created life with the help of quantum mechanics\".\nHow to reconcile those two views?\nMaybe a way can be found in the ideas of people like physicist Freeman J. Dyson eho, in his book \"Disturbing the Universe\", writes:\n\"It is interesting to note how mind appears at two separate\nlevels in our knowledge of nature. At the highest level, the\nlevel of human consciousness, our mind is somehow aware of\nthe complex flux of electric and chemical patterns in our\nbrain. At the lowest level, that of single atoms and of sin-\ngle electrons, the mind of the observer is again involved\nin the description of events. The level of molecular biology\nlies between the two, where mechanical models are valid and\nmind is irrelevant. But as a physicist I am led to suspect\nthe existence of a logical connexion between the two ways\nin which mind appears in the universe. I cannot help thinking\nthat consciousness in my brain has something to do with the\nprocess called observation in atomic physics...in other words,\nmind is already an intrinsic feature of every electron\".\nThese ideas were further developed by physicist Roger Penrose of Oxford University in his books \"The emperors's new mind\" and \"Shadows of the mind\".\nI very much liked your post. Consciousness/self-awareness along with conscience is indeed proof of a Designer.\nI hope you have read some works by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin,SJ, a prophet forgotten even by his Church. His last work, published after his death, is \"The human phenomenon\". There is an anthology of his works in English, \"The appereance of man\", Collins, London (1967).\nthe entropy of every closed system is increasing.\nThat is, of course, 100% correct. However A primordial soup would not be a closed system. Energy could be added; either by the Sun or thermal reactions from the heat stored in the Earth's core. When you were a child you were able to clean up your messy room. You did this by adding energy to restore order.\nI very much liked your post. Consciousness/self-awareness along with conscience is indeed proof of a Designer. [/quote]\nAnd now I.D. thinks he agree's with an aethist. I'm stunned.\nFrom his Roger Penrose's wiki page.\nPenrose does not hold to any religious doctrine,[25] and refers to himself as an atheist.[26] In the film A Brief History of Time, he said, \"I think I would say that the universe has a purpose, it's not somehow just there by chance ... some people, I think, take the view that the universe is just there and it runs along \u2013 it's a bit like it just sort of computes, and we happen somehow by accident to find ourselves in this thing. But I don't think that's a very fruitful or helpful way of looking at the universe, I think that there is something much deeper about it.\"[27] Penrose is a Distinguished Supporter of the British Humanist Association.\nNo, I have not. It seems like I have another book to add to my list. Thank you.\nCould not this solar system be thought of as a closed loop? At least as far as life goes? In Hydraulics there are open and closed systems, this I know a thing or two about, and even though they are closed some forces act on them from the outside from time to time, like heat. But nevertheless it's a closed system.\nThe day that ID agrees with himself I'll be amazed.\nThere are no closed systems. Dark energy.\nTrue. Then you go to the concept of a \"dissipative structure\", put forward and developed by Ilya Prigogine. When I was at Mondadori Publishing House I edited an article of his titled \"Thermodynamics and biology\", but it would take too much space to post it here, besides the fact that it was translated in Italian (by me).\nProve Dark Energy.\nOK, nice and simple.\nWork out the mass of known objects in a given volume of space.\nNow, work out the gravitational field due to that mass.\nMeasure the gravitational field in that volume.\nFrom the difference in the measured and calculated gravitational fields you can back calculate the mass of \"black matter\", and hence the \"black energy\" in that volume of space.\nI believe that dark energy is what causes the expansion of the universe, as measured by Hobble;s law, to accelerate instead of decelerating. This was inferred by the distance/red shift relationship of \"standard candles\" (Supernovae of Ia type) in distant galaxies.\nNice math. Not proof.\nYou can't do experiments in astrophysics, only observations and infer an hypothesis from that observation.",

        "raw_content": "This is a great collection, with stories from some of the best old school writers in the business - some of which may still shock many readers even in this day and age (I'm looking at you, \"The Pentinent\"! I loved you though!). There are no weak stories in this at all - which is unusual for an anthology - and some (particularly \"Hymenoptera\" and \"Loop\") are really beautifully written despite some challenging subject matter. Plus it includes a King story written specifically for the volume, the great Karl Edward Wagner's last ever story before his death, AND one of my favourite stories of all time in \"Pas De Deux\" by Kathe Kolja - what's not to love?

        "raw_content": "Arts & Letters Degree Options\nWhy Study Arts & Letters\nIf you find yourself exploring the multidimensional features of society and the human experience than you might be an excellent candidate for the interdisciplinary Arts and Letters major. It is also a great major if you haven't settled on what discipline you would like to study. In this major you can combine courses that allow you to investigate the intersection of ideas related to health, science, politics, globalization, economics, religion, culture, aesthetics, and history.\nArts & Letters: General Track, B.A. - Plan of Study | Course Catalog Major Requirements\nMajors in the general track have the flexibility to take courses in what interests them. They complete either an undergraduate research project or an internship.\nArts & Letters: Graduate School Track, B.A. - Plan of Study | Course Catalog Major Requirements\nThe graduate school track stresses undergraduate research. Majors in this track have opportunities to present at conferences, such as the North American Undergraduate Conference in Religion and Philosophy, and to publish in undergraduate journals, such as Palimpsest. With proper guidance, majors might pursue graduate degrees in any humanities field or more specialized degrees in law, medicine, or business.\nArts & Letters: Professional Track, B.A. - Plan of Study | Course Catalog Major Requirements\nMajors in the professional track complete a minor in Business Administration. This track also requires an internship. Graduates have a wide range of career options, such as business, city planning, education, recreation, government, history research, human resources, nonprofit organizations, journalism, media, museum/public history, publishing, public relations, visual arts, and retail.\nArts & Letters, Minor - Course Catalog Major Requirements\nThree tracks to fit your career goals\nWith the major you can choose from a graduate school track, a professional track, or a general track. Each track blends classroom learning with hands-on experience.\nFor all tracks within the major, study abroad is highly encouraged. In addition to providing majors with a first-hand look at the realities of globalization, study abroad improves one\u2019s marketability. More employers are looking for students with study abroad experience, since study abroad demonstrates one\u2019s willingness to take calculated risks, one\u2019s ability to work with others in new settings, and one\u2019s competency in a second language.",

        "title": "Bethesda teases Doom Eternal, a direct sequel to 2016's franchise reboot - TechSpot",
        "raw_content": "Something to look forward to: Doom is arguably the most influential first-person shooter in history. A new entry in the franchise is no doubt a big deal, especially on the heels of 2016's excellent reboot. Details are scare but what we do know thus far seems promising.\nBethesda at its E3 showcase on Sunday announced Doom Eternal, a direct sequel to the franchise\u2019s much-loved 2016 reboot. A release date wasn\u2019t shared but we do know it is being developed by id Software and will feature both new and classic demons to slay using powerful new weapons and abilities.\nCreative Director Hugo Martin said during the E3 showcase that for the past two years, it\u2019s been inspiring to hear fans talk about what they\u2019d like to see next. The Doom Slayer will be even more powerful, Martin confirmed, adding that there will be twice as many badass demons in the new game.\n\u201cYou want to see Hell on Earth? We just teased it.\u201d\nThe game will feature an all-new soundtrack from Mick Gordon, the Australian composer and sound designer whose work can be heard in hits like Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, 2013\u2019s Killer Instinct reboot and the most recent Doom entry.\nWhat they\u2019re most excited about, Martin said, is showing some of the things gamers might not be expecting. Unfortunately, you\u2019ll have to wait a bit longer for that as the first gameplay footage for Doom Eternal won\u2019t be shared until QuakeCon 2018 on August 10.\nA release date has not yet been provided, nor do we know what platforms it\u2019s destined for.",

        "raw_content": "FIRST LOVE BLOG HOP, Gothic, and Much-More Author Tammie Clarke Gibbs\nTammie Clarke Gibbs, Author\nWelcome Tammie Clarke Gibbs - FIRST LOVE BLOG HOP, Gothic and much-more author. Gibbs\u2019 time travel gothic romance, ISLAND OF SECRETS, has been a Kindle Bestseller in three categories for sixteen consecutive months. She also has written more than a half-dozen books across many genres\u2014romance, historical, and \u201chow to.\u201d\nGibbs describes herself as an \u201centrepreneurial diva\u201d, and started her first business just two weeks after high school graduation. Today she is a realtor in Southern Georgia, when she isn\u2019t writing.\nTo learn more about the FIRST LOVE BLOG HOP click the link at the end of this article. Win a Kindle, visit 29 authors, and much more.\nQ: You write books in multiple genres \u2013 suspense, gothic, romance, historical, or time travel. Why? Which genre do you prefer? Why?\nTammie Clarke Gibbs: I love to write in genres I like to read and no matter what era a good suspense is always an exciting read. And when it comes to the romance, I believe that all good books have a love story somewhere. I guess I don\u2019t prefer one so much over the other, but I do enjoy a time-travel story and my gothic/time travel has by far been my best-selling book.\nQ: Who is your favorite hero/heroine from all of your books? Who is your favorite villain? Why?\nTammie Clarke Gibbs: That\u2019s a hard one. I love Lila and Shane from Island of Secrets. Not sure why, but their story just has a timeless quality. As far as Villains go it\u2019s hard for me to name names because in my books you may not know exactly who the villain is until the very end. I\u2019ll just say that the villain in Keeping Secrets is something else.\nTammie Clarke Gibbs: I\u2019m not sure I do anything in particular. Most of the readers who enjoy my books say my characters are well-rounded and believable despite their sometimes unbelievable circumstances or setting. All I can say is, most of my characters take over and tell me their story so if they come off as real, well I\u2019ll let you draw your own conclusions. Perhaps I\u2019m just a medium for history\u2019s untold stories.\nQ: Do you write purely for entertainment? Or are you trying to tell your readers something?\nTammie Clarke Gibbs: I\u2019m getting asked that particular question a lot lately. I don\u2019t set out to tell my readers anything in particular. I think most authors tend to leave traces of themselves scattered across the pages of their stories. I write hoping that I will provide my readers with a story they can experience and enjoy.\nTammie Clarke Gibbs: I believe that a writer writes. For some writers, their talent emerges in different ways. There are plenty of awesome writers that are merely using their talent within the scope of their chosen professions. I think being merely a writer, even a good one, is different than being a novelist much in the same way being a marketer is different. I\u2019m a novelist because these stories come to me, and I\u2019ve been blessed with the ability to tell stories in a way that is enjoyable to others.\nQ: When did you first know that you wanted to be a writer?\nTammie Clarke Gibbs: I was discovered by my English teacher in the eleventh grade while taking a short story class. It changed the direction of my life.\nTammie Clarke Gibbs: You could say that I\u2019m an entrepreneurial diva. I started my first business just two weeks after High School graduation and have since owned a balloon business, a magazine publishing company, a design and marketing company and now I\u2019m a Realtor. I love wearing the different hats of a business owner and I\u2019ve learned many things that have helped me in the new world of publishing from my previous business experiences. I love horseback riding, reading, watching Vampire Diaries and I\u2019m very involved in my church.\nAbout Tammie Clarke Gibbs\nAuthor of the Kindle Bestselling Gothic, ISLAND OF SECRETS, Tammie Clarke Gibbs employs a visionary style mixing genres and crossing boundaries. Her eclectic writing style mirrors her entrepreneurial business experience where she's known for wearing at least a dozen different hats.\nMs. Gibbs is a native of South Georgia where she lives with her husband, son and a very spoiled Maltese.\nHis Uncle was an eccentric determined to prove she existed.\nEveryone thought the man was crazy.\nShane Alexander was determined to prove to the world that his family wasn't crazy...\nThat HE wasn't crazy.\nIt was working...\nUntil he made one mistake...\nthat would change his life forever...\nand force him to question his own sanity.\nSomething was missing from Lila Fitzpatrick's life...\nSo doing a friend a favor...\nand pretending to be someone else for a day seemed like a good idea at the time.\nThen she finds a warning note...\nfrom hundreds of years BEFORE she was born.\nAnd then if that wasn't bad enough...\nShe met HIM...\nFor centuries a force has kept them apart...\nBut, will Love be enough to finally keep them together...\nOr will history repeat itself?\nA Time Travel- A Love Story filled with Suspense-A Mystery that will keep you guessing til the end...\nMalden Grove, Illinois has no idea the trouble headed it's way...\nA daughter hell-bent on avenging her father....\nA handsome stranger with secrets of his own....\nA case of mistaken identity and a situation that has them both KEEPING SECRETS in a town where everyone is interested in everybody else's business.\nBook One-Undercover Heroes\nHistorical, Western, Romantic Suspense\nAnniversary Edition-originally titled \"The Counterfeit\"\nTwitter address: https://twitter.com/tammiegibbs\nTammie Clarke Gibbs January 14, 2013 at 6:39 AM\nThank you so much for such a fun interview.\nHave a super New Year!\nhttp://www.tammieclarkegibbs.com",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home \u00bb Column Topics \u00bb The Rediff columns \u00bb What should we expect from Clinton?\nWhat should we expect from Clinton?\nThe entire nation is geared up for Bill Clinton's visit. At Dalal Street, the hawkers have agreed to clear out for a week and keep the streets clean and uncluttered; in Agra, the Taj Mahal and its precincts are being scrubbed before his arrival; and in Cyberabad turkey sandwiches and other goodies are being readied for him.\nNewspapers report that the babus in Delhi are all a-flutter trying to figure out if Clinton would want to meet dull, dhoti-clad politicians or svelte actresses and models at the various banquets hosted in his honour. Everyone is eager to welcome the first US president to visit India in 22 years.\nThe clean-up operation will ensure that Indian images, which will be beamed across the globe, will be a tad less messy than normal. But what does India really hope to gain from Clinton's visit?\nThere will certainly be the symbolic show of a greater thaw in Indo-US relations. There is also the expectation that the last of the sanctions will be withdrawn. Then there is the mutual belief that a presidential visit would trigger off greater investment and better business relations between the two countries.\nThe stock market was rather gung-ho about this possibility and the index had jumped for a few days on the expectation that Clinton would usher in nearly $ 1 billion of foreign institutional investment from his country. But in the last few days punters too seem to have realised than the visit of an out-going president has only so much significance. This sobering realisation has seen share prices tumble in all but the infotech, communications and entertainment or ICE scrips.\nThe stockmarkets reduced their expectations in line with what one can realistically expect in every other area. To many of us, the massive media coverage of the growing population of Silicon Valley billionaires, who have captured chunks of the American IT industry, has distorted the picture of India's importance to America. Yes, the number of hugely successful Indians in the United States has increased and they are also playing a bigger role in influencing its India policy, but India is not even on the radars of most Americans.\nTo many of those who know a little about the Indian sub-continent, it remains, what Clinton called, \"the most dangerous place on earth\". The image is probably enhanced by companies like Enron who have been making a big deal about tying up projects in the backdrop of \"communal strife, bomb blasts, policy changes, economic adversity\" and more lately \"US economic sanctions and mid-term elections\".\nRichard Haas, a director of the Brookings Institutions in the US and an expert on contemporary American foreign policy, seemed to confirm this view. He was invited by India's leading trade organisation, the Confederation of Indian Industry to speak in Bombay last week.\nHaas was candid in saying that India should not expect miracles. He seemed to suggest that the biggest outcome of Clinton's visit would be the massive media coverage that it would trigger. Television cameras trailing Clinton would carry pictures of India, as it really is, into American homes.\nThe American television networks and the newspapers are sending a massive press contingent to cover the event and they are boning up their knowledge of the country and also scouting around for special interest stories that would make their trip worthwhile. Even schools and colleges would tend to have special discussions on India during the presidential visit, says Haas.\nFrom that point of view, the massive clean-up in preparation of Clinton's visit seems worth the effort. After all, India seems to hit the international headlines only during tragedies such as Bhopal, Latur, the so-called plague epidemic in Surat, bomb blasts, communal violence, hijacking, testing of nuclear devices or the war with Pakistan.\nHow little Americans know of India becomes painfully obvious when academics, such as Haas, continue to speak of India on par with Pakistan, discounting the vast difference in size, and the economic, social and political status.\nHaas said that Indians may dislike this fact, but most Americans, are not even aware of India as the land of rope tricks, snake charmers and elephants. Those are British and European images. The Americans, he says, feel closer to China because of the flood of Chinese exports in American shopping malls and the constant coverage of China by the US media.\nIndia should use this opportunity to initiate a dialogue with the US on several key policy issues. These may include the setting up of a free trade zone between India and the US, and bilateral discussions on several sticky trade issues like Super 301 and the US policy on Indian textile exports.\nHe suggests that Clinton's visit is a good opportunity for India to discuss issues such as trade treaties, environmental regulations, alternative safety nets for workers or World Bank and IMF intervention in the economies of member countries. He also believes it is in India's interest to counter the image of being \"the most dangerous place on earth\" by initiating several levels of dialogue with Pakistan.\nIt would seem that the best that India can expect out of Clinton's visit is publicity, image enhancement and improved awareness. The huge presidential entourage has several powerful officials and businessmen making their first visit to this country. The sights, sounds and images that they will carry will pave the way for future dialogue and discussion.\nIt will also allow American policy-makers to get a better perspective of India as a potential market and business partner for US companies. India needs to impress on the Americans that problems with Pakistan and the Kashmir issue pose no threat to India's economic stability and democracy.\nFrom the business perspective, it is rather foolish to dub India (along with Pakistan) one of the most dangerous places on earth. In fact, the Indian economy seems set for an information technology-led transformation and growth, despite political chaos and absence of a consensus on reforms and liberalisation.\nUS companies, not just the multinationals but middle-level entities too, can only benefit if they take India more seriously.",

        "raw_content": "Hoppy Easter, Dear BlogHers\nFestive holidays always seem to make me thankful.\nI spend my time thinking of the excitement of holidays when I was a child in the 1950s. Spending time at both grandmothers\u2019 houses one after the other, morning maternal, afternoon paternal, ensured an never ending array of attention and presents. I was all for that. Still am.\nHere\u2019s hoping you enjoy all of the spring time\nfestivities that are dear to your family.\nIt\u2019s so wonderful that people feel comfortable expressing themselves nowadays, being true to their heritage and family backgrounds. My mother\u2019s family were pure German, but were never comfortable being who they were. Any smidgen of German tradition was not recognized as they did not want to be thought of as \u201cforeign.\u201d So, when I found Volker Kraft and his 10,000 egg Easter Egg Tree, I was happy to see what, in a more accepting place and time, I could have been enjoying all these years: blowing thousands of yolks out of thousands of eggs, decorating the shells and hanging them in the front yard. Why, it boggles the mind.\nVolker Kraft has an Easter Egg Tree that people travel to see.\nAs if that\u2019s not enough, 10,000 eggs on a tree for all to see, Volker Kraft also has a web site. His family web site will mean all the more if you understand German, but there are English and other language translation buttons at the bottom of the screen.\nI just love the Kraft family web site and go to it every year to see what\u2019s new. It\u2019s like a play area for adults. Lots of fun! Why, I think I\u2019ll give a link to you and all the BlogHer peeps.\nYou know, the Peeps. All those peeple who come to BlogHer, read, Comment and Follow the magnificent posts from the thousands of BlogHer contributors. Peeps with their Comments make the BlogHer world go \u2019round.\nBlogHer Peeps come in all shapes and sizes, ages\nand heritages, but a common thread between them\nis, \u201cIf you want a friend, you have to be one.\u201d\n\u201cIf you want a friend, you have to be one.\u201d At least, that\u2019s what they used to tell us in Girl Scouts. And, it seems to work on BlogHer as well. The more you give, the more you get.\nEvery now and then I see a Comment or Chatter with BlogHers boo-hoo-hooin\u2019 about the fact nobody is coming to their postings or blogs to read them. They are sad because they think no one is reading their thoughts and yet, they just sit there and wait. And wait. And wait.\nNo! Don\u2019t do it! If this sounds like you, get out of your BlogHer corner and start Commenting on other peeple\u2019s posts.\nThat\u2019s how you get out and about, to see and be seen. Did you know that every time you Comment, your avatar and the location of you Comment, goes down on the right hand side, under the category, \u201cRecent Comments?\u201d That makes it easy for people to FIND YOU. And, what you think. And, what you like. So, they can feel close to you and start to become your virtual friend.\nIn other words, become a Peep! Make a point to Follow other Bloghers, love and support them and they, in turn will become a Peep of yours. It\u2019s so easy! It\u2019s so much fun!\nRemember, Peeps make the BlogHer world go around.\nI LOVE peeps!\nTags: chocolate rabbit, dyed eggs, Easter basket, family dinner, spring, Sunday\nFiled under: Beauty,Outside \u2014 admin @ 3:05 pm Comments (0)",

        "raw_content": "South Sudan commits to freedom of journalists on radio day\n13 February 2013 - As the world commemorated World Radio Day today, the South Sudanese government emphasized its commitment to protect freedom of expression and information.\n\u201cSouth Sudan will be known as a democratic country where \u2026 the fact that journalists will be free to seek information everywhere will be guaranteed by the law and by the Constitution,\u201d said Minister of Information and Broadcasting Barnaba Marial Benjamin, speaking on UN Radio Miraya.\nThis week, South Sudan became the first country to commit to becoming one of five pilot countries that will adopt a new UN-backed initiative aimed at creating a free and safe environment for journalists and media workers.\n\u201cUNMISS welcomes the government\u2019s decision to increase the safety of journalists in the country and address the issue of impunity,\u201d said Special Representative of the Secretary General Hilde F. Johnson in a statement on 10 February.\nUNMISS, the UN Education and Scientific Organisation (UNESCO) and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights will work together with other UN agencies, national and international partners in supporting development of an implementation plan for the country, the statement said.\nSouth Sudan dropped 12 places in a recent ranking and press index by Reporters without Borders, a ranking related partly to heavy handedness by security forces in dealing with journalists.\nMr. Benjamin, who also serves as government spokesperson, said his ministry had \u201ctaken it upon itself to assist in all cases where journalists get into clashes with some security agencies,\u201d although media laws were not in place yet.\nIn his message to commemorate World Radio Day, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that radio, which the UN used to reach people worldwide, promoted democratic expression and influenced ideas.\nRead More at UNMISS\n(Source : United Nations Mission in South Sudan -UNMISS)",

        "raw_content": "My husband and I enjoy traveling together.\nOne of the very first ways we started traveling together was by motorcycle. When we first started dating way back in 1987, my husband-then-boyfriend had a red Kawasaki KZ-750. We rode that thing all over northeast Oklahoma! It was summer and the open road was ours. We kept that bike until our first son was born; kinda hard to strap a baby seat on the back.\nWhen our youngest son was in high school, my husband got a bike again. This time he went for a 2009 Yamaha 950 V-Star Tour. This bike is made for road trips for two. We took several small rides around the area to get used to the fell of riding together again.\nOur first major ride together on this bike was down Oklahoma Highway 10 to Tahlequah and back by way of Silom Springs. Both roads wind through the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in Oklahoma. This was a good first long ride for us. And just the first it was!\nSince that first time we've rode the Boston Mountains in Arkansas, the Valley of Fire in New Mexico, and the Rocky Mountains in Colorado just to name a few. Any time we have temperatures at least in the 70s, we're good to go. Some times we take afternoon trips that dip down through the southern border of Missouri. Sometimes we'll take day-long trips where we'll cover 300-400 miles round trip.\nMy favorite, though, is when we plan out and take a ride that covers multiple days.\nWe've still got quite a list of places we want to go ride. Number one on that list is Tail of the Dragon, officially US 129 in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The ride boasts 318 curves in 11 miles, and is reported to be one of the best motorcycle rides in the country. A couple of others on our bucket list of rides are out of the country. We'd like to ride the Pyrenees in Italy, and Highway 1 on the western side of Australia through Perth.\nI you have any suggestions for us, we'd certainly like to hear them!\nEverything you did sounds really fun to do.\nColton G.

The rising death-toll of the protests in Syria shows, however, that these 'cyber-protests' are not without material consequences on the ground. Neither are the protests primarily media-based, of course. They are first of all staged in the streets. Deeply troubling questions emerge about the dilemma's media-activists face promoting the image of a popular uprising with dramatic consequences (even more so keeping the descent into civil war in Libya in mind).

        "raw_content": "The COMPASS Group November 2011\nReigndear showcases sibling musical magic\nBrothers make good music. It is that simple. As history shows, male siblings can make exceptionally listenable songs. Back in the day, we had The Everly Brothers, The Righteous Brothers and The Isley Brothers and, more recently, the Followill brothers of Kings of Leon have flexed their vocal abilities at sold-out stadiums world-wide.\nFollowing in this tradition, Taichung regular Reigndear is comprised of South African brothers Kent Dylan and Wesley Jay, who combine with Londoner multi-instrumentalist Johnny Atterbury to create a sound that, at its best, is on par with the lush, well-crafted introspection of American folk band Bon Iver.\nAs is often the case with strumming sibling duets, Reigndear's brothers started out in a musical family, their father being a guitar luthier. They met Atterbury in 1991 and jammed together throughout their adolescence, but didn't officially form Reigndear until 2007 which, as Kent Dylan mystically muses, \"was when everything started to become what it is now\". On that new year's eve, the name Reigndear was chosen; having no relation to the animal, it combines \"reign\" and \"dear\" and means \"go forth and do what needs to be done\".\nFollowing this mantra, the band has since performed at various Taichung venues including The Refuge, the closed but so-sorely-missed 89K, Frog, and Luvstock. Regarding their Taiwan musical experience, they love the fact that Taiwanese people are interested in what they're doing, but wish there was a bigger market for foreign bands, adding that more local encouragement to make and listen to music was needed.\nOne of the few, still-pulsing Taichung musical havens that Reigndear really enjoys performing at is The Refuge (see p.22 Nightlife listings). Refuge owner \"Boston\" Paul in turn praises Reigndear's music as \"gripping, melodic and thought provoking\". The band's unique sound, while difficult to pigeon-hole, is mostly influenced by alternative rock acts Nirvana, Violent Femmes, Pearl Jam, and PJ Harvey, while their writing and harmonizing are mostly derived from iconic singer-songwriters like Bob Dylan and The Beatles.\nReigndear is currently in a studio recording phase until December, when they plan to release new material while making the rounds on the Taiwan music circuit as part of their \"Death, Birth and Life\" tour. In the meantime, you can access new and old tracks at reigndear.com.",

        "raw_content": "If decapitations are your cup of tea, Night School is the one for you. Rachel Ward made her acting debut in this better-than-average slasher film. It was originally supposed to be directed by Alfred Sole, the guy who gave us Alice, Sweet Alice.\nThe job eventually went to Kenneth Hughes, who made Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (!) over a decade before. The end result was a nicely shot thriller, with some exciting murders and a good twist ending.\nAnne Barron (Meb Boden) is a teacher's aide at the Jack-N-Jill Daycare Center in Boston. It's the early evening and the last child has been picked up by her mother. Anne is relaxing on the playground carousel when someone pulls up on a motorcyle, wearing a helmut. Anne is startled.\nSuddenly the stranger pulls out a machete and starts spinning the carousel. The machete is held up in the air and the terrified woman goes around and around - until she's struck with it.\nJudd Austin (Leonard Mann) is the cop assigned to the case. He is called to the scene and when he gets there, he sees a gruesome sight. The girl was decapitated and her head was put in a bucket of water nearby. The distraught director of the center tells the officer that Anne worked there during the day - and was attending night classes at Wendell College.\nAt the hospital, Judd and his partner Taj (Joseph R. Sicari) discuss a similar case from the previous week. Another girl was found decapitated and her head was dumped in a pond.\nThey wonder if there's any connection between the two murders. At Wendell, the administrator Miss Helene Griffin (Annette Miller) tells Judd that Anne was close to a girl named Kim Morrison (Elizabeth Barnitz).\nWhen asked if Anne had a boyfriend, Kim tells the officer that the murdered girl was indeed involved with someone but she doesn't know who it was. She assumes the man must have been married.\nJudd enters Professor Millett's anthropology class to speak with him about his murdered student. The professor doesn't offer much information but he introduces Judd to an exchange student named Eleanor (Rachel Ward).\nEleanor leaves the school and goes to the local diner. There, she is creeped out by Gus (Nicholas Cairis), the busboy who appears to have mental issues. Carol (Karen MacDonald), the waitress...asks Eleanor if she's in Millet's class and implies that he sleeps around. This irritates Eleanor and she leaves.\nGus follows her home. When she realizes this, she runs the rest of the way and quickly locks the door. She gets into the shower but someone is trying to break in. Frightened, she gets out of the shower...only to find that it's her boyfriend who had been locked out by accident. That boyfriend is Professor Millett.\nAnne's friend Kim is working at the local aquarium. About to leave work, she takes off her diving suit. She is attacked and savagely killed with the machete. A woman looking at the sea turtles screams when she sees Kim's head fall to the bottom of the tank.\nJudd pays a visit to Professor Millett and is surprised to see Eleanor...but she explains that she is the professor's research assistant. The officer then informs Millett that a second student of his has been killed - and asks him if he has had any affairs with his pupils. Millett is annoyed at this line of questioning and tells Judd to leave.\nEleanor and Millett get into an argument and she goes to the diner to be alone. The professor follows her and she tells him that she is three months pregnant. He's sympathetic although he still manages to flirt with Carol as she waits on them.\nAfter the diner has closed, Carol is left to clean up. When the power goes out, she heads to the basement to investigate. The killer is after her and she is attacked with the machete. Carol manages to get outside but she is caught in an alley and mutilated.\nWhen one of the workers shows up the next day, he thinks someone has broken into the diner. A customer finds hair in his bowl of stew. Carol's head is discovered in a sink filled with water - and her body is found in a dumpster. Judd and Taj go to Gus's home...since he is now considered a prime suspect. But Judd doesn't really believe the troubled man was involved.\nWhen Judd goes to Professor Millett's home again, he is surprised to find a collection of skulls...taken from tribal head hunters around the world. Eleanor doesn't see anything wrong with this.\nAt Wendell, Miss Griffin tells Millett to stop sleeping around with his students. She counsels Kathy (Holly Hardman), who confesses that she too has been intimate with the professor. Miss Griffin, however, seems to have her own ideas about Kathy.\nShe invites the girl to spend the night at her house and the two sleep with each other. The young student is not entirely comfortable but she is enjoying the company. Miss Griffin is killed when she gets up to answer the phone...and Kathy is murdered shortly after she finds the older woman's head in the toilet.\nJudd is on his way to speak to Miss Griffin when he sees the killer fleeing. He chases the psycho to Professor's Millett's apartment.\nTaking off the helmut, the killer is revealed to be Eleanor. She confesses the killings to her lover and justifies the crimes by comparing them to tribal rituals he teaches in his courses.\nAs the police are closing in, Millett puts on the helmut and flees on his motorcycle to deflect attention from his pregnant girlfriend. During a high speed chase with Judd and Taj, the professor is struck and killed. Eleanor attends his burial...and the police believe the case has been solved.\nDirector Kenneth Hughes keeps the action flowing nicely and great use is made of actual Boston locations. The motorcycle killer is a nice idea and there is some fine suspense here.\nEven though the psycho in Night School isn't really that much of a surprise, it's always refreshing when the psycho turns out to be a woman. Rachel Ward's classic looks and breathy voice are simply stunning.\nThis one is a solid thriller/slasher with a good plotline, some inventive killings, and an anthropological flavor tying it all together. Who woulda thought it?",

The combustion area in the head is shaped like half of a sphere. An engine like this is said to have \"hemispherical heads.\" In a HEMI head, the spark plug is normally located at the top of the combustion chamber, and the valves open on opposite sides of the combustion chamber.\nMost cars prior to the 1950s used what was known as a flat head, and many lawn mower engines still use the flathead design today because it is less expensive to manufacture. In a flathead engine, the valves are in the block, rather than in the head, and they open in a chamber beside the piston.\nThere are many different parts of an engine's design that control the amount of power you can extract from each combustion stroke. For example:\nYou want to burn all of the gas in the cylinder. If the design leaves any of the gas unburned, that is untapped energy.\nYou want the maximum cylinder pressure to occur when the crankshaft is at the right angle, so that you extract all of the energy from the pressure.\nYou want to waste as little of the engine's energy as possible sucking air and fuel into the combustion chamber and pushing exhaust out.\nYou want to lose as little heat as possible to the heads and the cylinder walls. Heat is one of the things creating pressure in the cylinder, so lost heat means lower peak pressures.\nThe last item in the list is one of the key advantages of the HEMI head versus the flathead engine. Surface area causes heat loss. Fuel that is near the head walls may be so cool that it does not burn efficiently. With a flat head, the amount of surface area relative to volume of the combustion chamber is large. In a HEMI engine, the surface area is much smaller than in a flat head, so less heat escapes and peak pressure can be higher.\nAnother factor with a HEMI head is the size of the valves. Since the valves are on opposite sides of the head, there is more room for valves. The engine design that preceded the HEMI was a wedge-shaped combustion chamber with the valves in line with each other. The inline arrangement limited valve size. In a HEMI engine, valves can be large so the airflow through the engine is improved.\nThe HEMI Magnum engine has two valves per cylinder as well as two spark plugs per cylinder. The two spark plugs help to solve the emission problems that plagued Chrysler's earlier HEMI engines. The two plugs initiate two flame fronts and guarantee complete combustion.\nIf HEMI engines have all these advantages, why aren't all engines using hemispherical heads? It's because there are even better configurations available today.\nOne thing that a hemispherical head will never have is four valves per cylinder. The valve angles would be so crazy that the head would be nearly impossible to design. Having only two valves per cylinder is not an issue in drag racing or NASCAR because racing engines are limited to two valves per cylinder in these categories. But on the street, four slightly smaller valves let an engine breath easier than two large valves. Modern engines use a pentroof design to accommodate four valves.\nAnother reason most high-performance engines no longer use a HEMI design is the desire to create a smaller combustion chamber. Small chambers further reduce the heat lost during combustion, and also shorten the distance the flame front must travel during combustion. The compact pentroof design is helpful here, as well.",

        "raw_content": "It\u2019s not secret that new cars now have a variety of features, but do those features really make those cars better than older cars? After all, many older cars were built with solid metal frames and seem like they could hold up well in an accident against these newer plastic cars. Right? Let\u2019s see what the data says. Here are 4 factors to compare how old cars measure up to new cars. Which will come out the victor?\nDrivers Fatality Rate\nImagine if an older car and a new car were to crash into each other. If only one driver died, which driver do you think it would be? According to government studies, the driver of the older car is 70% more likely to die. The research, conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, indicated that one is safer in a new car than they are in a car built in an older model, particularly one from before the mid-90\u2019s. The research shows that the driver of a car 18 years or more old dies in an accident 71% more times than one in a three-year-old or newer vehicle.\nThat\u2019s some pretty sobering statistics, particularly for parents who might want to put their teenage driver in a cheap clunker of a car. While your child may only need it to get from home to work and school, you want them to arrive safely, and buying a car older than they are won\u2019t do it, even if you paid pennies for it.\nWhat about middle-aged cars though? That same study by the NHTSA found that the driver fatality rate of cars eight to eleven years old is only 19% worse than brand new cars, and four to seven year old cars have a 10% worse driver fatality rate than new.\nConclusion: Models less than 11 years old have a significantly lower fatality rate than older models.\nSo driving new cars is safer than driving older cars, but if you fail to buckle up, none of those safety features matter. The study by the NHTSA found that the odds of a belted driver being killed fell from 46% in cars that were 19 years old to 26% in new cars. However, in unbelted drivers, the odds started at 78% in old cars and dropped to only 72% percent in new cars. Consequently, whether or not you\u2019re driving a new car, wearing your seatbelt raises your chances of survival by a large margin.\nConclusion: Wearing seatbelts in new cars is safer than older models.\nWhile one might think that older cars are made of stronger metals, that\u2019s not actually true. New models are made with lighter but stronger alloys, thanks to engineering feats. This means that new models aren\u2019t as weak as you might think. In fact, one Australian study found that old cars sustain catastrophic structural failure in fatal accidents. The old cars in the study are also associated with severe leg, chest, and head injury to the driver. This is partly due to older models not having safety features like airbags, which are mandatory in new cars.\nIn Australia, old cars account for only 20% of the cars in the road, yet they cause 33% of the accidents. In the US, the average age of cars is older \u2013 around 11.5 years old.\nConclusion: New cars are stronger and more structurally-sound.\nWinner: New Cars\nNew cars have a lower fatality rate and more safety features, and they are built better than most older models of cars. Many bad accidents involving old cars lead to fatalities for the drivers or passengers in the older car. According to Stewart Guss, no matter how careful of a driver you are, sooner or later, you\u2019ll get into a car accident. Always wear your seatbelt, regardless of the age of the car. Seatbelts save lives and they can save yours.\nPrevious PostKnow Your Rights: Getting Arrested\nNext PostYou Have Rights; 5 Ways to Ensure Those Rights are Protected",

It replaces a 2009 version, endorsed by then- President Dmitry Medvedev, the current prime minister, which mentioned neither the United States not NATO.\nIt says Russia has managed to heighten its role in solving global problems and international conflicts. That heightened role has caused a reaction by the West, it says.\n\"The strengthening of Russia happens against the background of new threats to the national security, which has complex and interrelated nature,\" the document says.\nThe document says that the United States and the EU have supported an \"anti-constitutional coup d'etat in Ukraine\", which led to a deep divide in Ukrainian society and a military conflict.\nIt also names the expansion of NATO as a threat to Russia's national security and said that the United States has expanded its network of military-biological laboratories in neighboring to Russia countries.\nThe document, which serves as a basis for planning strategy related to national security by different state bodies, does not mention Syria. On Sept. 30, Russia began air strikes against anti-government rebels opposed to the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a Russian ally.\nThe Pentagon states there's no reason to declare the US an enemy.\nLabels: alliance, foreign policy, geopolitics, militaria, NATO, Russia, USA",

        "raw_content": "If the U.S. economy is performing well, then why can\u2019t 51 million households in the United States \u201cafford basics like rent and food\u201d. A stunning new report that was just put out by the United Way ALICE Project shows that the gap between the wealthy and the poor in this country is perhaps the biggest that it has been in any of our lifetimes. In some of the wealthiest areas of the nation, homes are now selling for up to 100 million dollars, but meanwhile tens of millions of families are barely scraping by from month to month. Many believe that this growing \u201cinequality gap\u201d is setting the stage for major societal problems.\nIn general, the U.S. economy seems to be performing better than expected so far in 2018, but the ranks of the poor and the working poor just continue to grow. The following comes from CNN\u2026\nNearly 51 million households don\u2019t earn enough to afford a monthly budget that includes housing, food, child care, health care, transportation and a cell phone, according to a study released Thursday by the United Way ALICE Project. That\u2019s 43% of households in the United States.\nIf 43 percent of all Americans cannot even afford \u201cthe basics\u201d, what does that say about the true state of the U.S. economy?\nOf course the biggest reason why so many American families are struggling is the lack of good jobs.\nIn America today, 66 percent of all jobs pay less than 20 dollars an hour.\nYou cannot support a middle class family on 20 dollars an hour. As a result, many Americans are working more than one job, and in many households both the mother and the father are working more than one job.\nHousing costs account for the biggest item in most family budgets, and the fact that housing costs have just continued to soar is putting a huge amount of financial stress on hard working families. Just today we learned that there is a tremendous rush to buy homes as mortgage rates rise rapidly\u2026\nToday, according to the latest Freddie Mac mortgage rates report, after plateauing in recent weeks, mortgage rates reversed course and reached a new high last seen eight years ago as the 30-year fixed mortgage rate edged up to 4.61% matching the highest level since May 19, 2011.\nBut while the highest mortgage rates in 8 years are predictably crushing mortgage refinance activity, they appears to be having the opposite effect on home purchases, where there is a sheer scramble to buy, and sell, houses. As Bloomberg notes, citing brokerage Redfin, the average home across the US that sold last month went into contract after a median of 36 only days on the market \u2013 a record speed in data going back to 2010.\nIf you will remember, we witnessed a very similar pattern just before the subprime mortgage meltdown in 2008.\nHistory is repeating itself, and we never seem to learn from our past mistakes.\nHousing prices in some cities are absolutely obscene right now, and many working families find themselves completely priced out of the market. That has some people asking one very simple question\u2026\nMany San Francisco renters I met while reporting an article on affordable housing lotteries had responded to the region\u2019s housing crisis by putting up with great discomfort: They crammed in with family; they split apartments with strangers. Some even lived out of their cars.\nWhy, lots of readers wanted to know, didn\u2019t they simply move away instead?\nYes, some people are moving, and this is something that I plan to do an article about very soon.\nBut for most hard working families, moving across the country simply is not an option. Moving out of state is very expensive, it can be very difficult to find a similar job in an entirely new area, and many families are very dependent on the social networks where they currently live\u2026\nPeople who struggle financially often have valuable social networks \u2014 family to help with child care, acquaintances who know of jobs. The prospect of dropping into, say, Oklahoma or Georgia would mean doing without the good income and the social support. Those intangible connections that keep people in places with bad economies also keep people in booming regions where the rent is too high.\nIn the end, moving is just not an option for a lot of people.\nWe need to structure our economic system so that it works for all Americans \u2013 not just a few. Unfortunately, it is probably going to take another major crisis before people are ready for such a restructuring.\nAnd such a crisis may not be that far away. In fact, even Pope Francis is now warning about the dangers of derivatives\u2026\nIn a sweeping critique of global finance released by the Vatican on Thursday, the Holy See singled out derivatives including credit-default swaps for particular scorn. \u201cA ticking time bomb,\u201d the Vatican called them. The unusual rebuke \u2014 derivatives rarely reach the level of religious doctrine \u2014 is in keeping with Francis\u2019s skeptical view of unbridled global capitalism.\n\u201cThe market of CDS, in the wake of the economic crisis of 2007, was imposing enough to represent almost the equivalent of the GDP of the entire world. The spread of such a kind of contract without proper limits has encouraged the growth of a finance of chance, and of gambling on the failure of others, which is unacceptable from the ethical point of view,\u201d the Vatican said in the document.\nI have written about derivatives extensively in the past, and Pope Francis is 100 percent correct when he says that they are a ticking time bomb which could absolutely devastate the global financial system at any moment.\nWe don\u2019t know exactly when it will happen, but we do know that such a crisis is coming at some point.\nSadly, most of the population is completely asleep, and they will be completely blindsided by the coming crisis when it does finally arrive.\nGovernment Spooks Can Use The Mic And Camera On Trump\u2019s Phone Even When He Thinks It Is Turned Off\nAfter reading this article you might not ever view your electronic devices the same way again. Last year, Hollywood released a biographical political thriller based on the life of Edward Snowden that had one particularly creepy scene. In that scene, a government spook used a program to remotely activate the microphone and camera on a laptop, and by doing so he was able to watch a woman as she got undressed. Sadly, as you will see below, this kind of thing is happening constantly. Any digital device can potentially be accessed and used to spy on you even if it appears to be turned off. And this is why Donald Trump needs to be so careful right now, because the intelligence community wants to take him down and they can literally use any digital device in his possession to try to gather dirt on him. We have a \u201cdeep state\u201d that is absolutely obsessed with watching, tracking and monitoring the American people, and something desperately needs to be done about this unconstitutional surveillance. Now that Trump has become greatly upset about how the government was tapping into his phone calls, maybe something will finally get accomplished.\nIn an article that I just published on The Most Important News, I talked about the NSA\u2019s brand new two billion dollar data storage facility in Utah that can store up to five zettabytes of data. Secret \u201celectronic monitoring rooms\u201d embedded within the facilities of major communications companies across the United States send an endless flow of digital information to this facility, and most Americans have no idea that this is even happening. The following comes from Wired\u2026\nBefore yottabytes of data from the deep web and elsewhere can begin piling up inside the servers of the NSA\u2019s new center, they must be collected. To better accomplish that, the agency has undergone the largest building boom in its history, including installing secret electronic monitoring rooms in major US telecom facilities. Controlled by the NSA, these highly secured spaces are where the agency taps into the US communications networks, a practice that came to light during the Bush years but was never acknowledged by the agency. The broad outlines of the so-called warrantless-wiretapping program have long been exposed\u2014how the NSA secretly and illegally bypassed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which was supposed to oversee and authorize highly targeted domestic eavesdropping; how the program allowed wholesale monitoring of millions of American phone calls and email. In the wake of the program\u2019s exposure, Congress passed the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, which largely made the practices legal. Telecoms that had agreed to participate in the illegal activity were granted immunity from prosecution and lawsuits.\nWhistleblowers have come forward again and again to warn us about what was happening, but they have largely been ignored. One of the most prominent whistleblowers was former NSA employee William Binney\u2026\nBinney left the NSA in late 2001, shortly after the agency launched its warrantless-wiretapping program. \u201cThey violated the Constitution setting it up,\u201d he says bluntly. \u201cBut they didn\u2019t care. They were going to do it anyway, and they were going to crucify anyone who stood in the way. When they started violating the Constitution, I couldn\u2019t stay.\u201d Binney says Stellar Wind was far larger than has been publicly disclosed and included not just eavesdropping on domestic phone calls but the inspection of domestic email. At the outset the program recorded 320 million calls a day, he says, which represented about 73 to 80 percent of the total volume of the agency\u2019s worldwide intercepts. The haul only grew from there.\nCan you imagine recording 320 million phone calls a day?\nAnd that was at the beginning of the program \u2013 I can\u2019t even imagine what the number must be these days.\nBut even if you aren\u2019t using your phone government spooks can still potentially be listening to you. The following comes from a CNN article entitled \u201cHow the NSA can \u2018turn on\u2019 your phone remotely\u201c\u2026\nGovernment spies can set up their own miniature cell network tower. Your phone automatically connects to it. Now, that tower\u2019s radio waves send a command to your phone\u2019s antennae: the baseband chip. That tells your phone to fake any shutdown and stay on.\nA smart hack won\u2019t keep your phone running at 100%, though. Spies could keep your phone on standby and just use the microphone \u2014 or send pings announcing your location.\nJohn Pirc, who did cybersecurity research at the CIA, said these methods \u2014 and others, like physically bugging devices \u2014 let the U.S. hijack and reawaken terrorists\u2019 phones.\nUnfortunately, these tactics are not just used against \u201cterrorists\u201d.\nThe truth is that these tactics are employed against anyone that the NSA is interested in, and in fact they could be listening to you right now.\nThanks to Edward Snowden, we have learned quite a bit about how the NSA takes over digital devices\u2026\nThe latest story from the Edward Snowden leaks yesterday drives home that the NSA and its spy partners possess specialized tools for doing exactly that. According to The Intercept, the NSA uses a plug-in called GUMFISH to take over cameras on infected machines and snap photos.\nIntelligence agencies have been turning computers into listening devices for at least a decade, as evidenced by the Flame spy tool uncovered by Kaspersky Lab in 2012, which had the ability to surreptitiously turn on webcams and microphones and perform a host of other espionage operations.\nSo what can you do to prevent this from happening?\nIf you have external webcams and microphones, you can unplug them when they are not in use.\nIf you have a built-in camera, some have suggested covering the camera with a sticker.\nAnd of course pulling out the battery entirely will prevent someone from taking over your phone when you are not using it.\nBut at the end of the day, it is going to be really hard to keep government spooks out of your electronic devices completely. They have become extremely sophisticated at using these devices to get what they want, and they will literally go after just about anyone.\nFor example, just consider what they did to former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson. In her recent book, she details a campaign of digital harassment that sounds like something out of a spy novel. The following comes from the Washington Post\u2026\nThe breaches on Attkisson\u2019s computer, says this source, are coming from a \u201csophisticated entity that used commercial, nonattributable spyware that\u2019s proprietary to a government agency: either the CIA, FBI, the Defense Intelligence Agency, or the National Security Agency (NSA).\u201d Attkisson learns from \u201cNumber One\u201d that one intrusion was launched from the WiFi at a Ritz Carlton Hotel and the \u201cintruders discovered my Skype account handle, stole the password, activated the audio, and made heavy use of it, presumably as a listening tool.\u201d\nTo round out the revelations of \u201cNumber One,\u201d he informs Attkisson that he\u2019d found three classified documents deep inside her operating system, such that she\u2019d never know they were even there. \u201cWhy? To frame me?\u201d Attkisson asks in the book.\nIf they can do all of that to Sharyl Attkisson, they can do it to Donald Trump too.\nTrump needs to understand that the deep state is trying to destroy him, and that everything that he says and does is being monitored.\nSo until Trump can completely clean house at all of our intelligence agencies, he is going to have to be extremely careful 24 hours a day.\nAnd let us hope that Trump is ultimately victorious in his struggle against the deep state, because the future of this nation is literally hanging in the balance.\nEconomy In Decline: Apple Reports Massive Revenue Decline As iPhone Sales Plummet Dramatically\nCorporate revenues in the United States have been falling for quite some time, but now some of the biggest companies in the entire nation are reporting extremely disappointing results. On Tuesday, Apple shocked the financial world by reporting that revenue for the first quarter had fallen 7.4 billion dollars compared to the same quarter last year. That is an astounding plunge, and it represents the very first year-over-year quarterly sales decline that Apple has experienced since 2003. Analysts were anticipating some sort of drop, but nothing like this. And of course last week we learned that Google and Microsoft also missed revenue and earnings projections for the first quarter of 2016. The economic crisis that began during the second half of 2015 is really starting to take hold, and even our largest tech companies are now feeling the pain.\nThis wasn\u2019t supposed to happen to Apple. No matter what else has been going on with the U.S. economy, Apple has always been unshakeable. Even during the last recession we never saw a year-over-year decline like this\u2026\nApple today announced financial results for the second fiscal quarter (first calendar quarter) of 2016. For the quarter, Apple posted revenue of $50.6 billion and net quarterly profit of $10.5 billion, or $1.90 per diluted share, compared to revenue of $58 billion and net quarterly profit of $13.6 billion, or $2.33 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. As expected, the year-over-year decline in quarterly revenue was the first for Apple since 2003.\nI think that this announcement by Apple is waking a lot of people up. The global economic slowdown is real, and we can see this in iPhone sales. During the first quarter, Apple sold 16 percent fewer iPhones than it did during the same quarter in 2015. This is the very first year-over-year quarterly sales decline for the iPhone ever. Here are some of the specific sales figures from the Apple announcement\u2026\nApple sold 51.1 million iPhones during the quarter, down from 61.2 million a year earlier, while Mac sales were 4.03 million units, down from from 4.56 million units in the year-ago quarter. iPad sales were also down once again, falling to 10.25 million from 12.6 million.\nOnce these numbers hit the wires, shares of Apple immediately began to plummet during after-hours trading. In fact, USA Today is reporting that Apple has already lost 43 billion dollars in market value since the annoucement\u2026\nShares of Apple are getting hit roughly 8% in after-hours trading, tumbling to $96.67. They closed in regular trading at $104.35, or down 0.7%, putting them down 0.9% for the year. The downward move in after-hours trading means the company shed $43 billion in market value based on after-hours trading.\nMeanwhile, shares of Twitter are crashing in after-hours trading after the social media giant also announced very disappointing results. The stock has now dripped below 16 dollars a share, and the company continues to lose tremendous amounts of money\u2026\nFor all its other travails, Twitter is unprofitable. It narrowed its loss but still recorded a loss of $79.7 million, or 12 cents a share, compared with a loss of $162.4 million, or 25 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter.\nOf course it isn\u2019t just the tech giants that are troubled these days.\nOn Tuesday we learned that same-store sales for Chipotle declined by a whopping 29.7 percent during the first quarter, and appliance manufacturer Whirlpool has seen sales fall all over the planet\u2026\nWhirlpool, the world\u2019s biggest appliance manufacturer, has become the poster child for the deep challenges facing multinational companies these days.\n\u2013 Latin American sales plunged 22%.\n\u2013 Revenue fell 8% in Europe, Middle East and Africa.\n\u2013 Asia sales dipped 2%.\nWhen is it finally going to sink in for most people? The global economy is slowing down significantly, and the next global economic crisis is already here.\nOf course the oil companies are feeling more pain than anyone else. According to CNN, the crash in the price of oil has cost the 40 largest publicly-traded U.S. oil producers 67 billion dollars\u2026\nAmerican oil companies are drowning in a sea of red ink.\nThe crash in crude oil prices caused a stunning $67 billion in combined losses by 40 publicly-traded U.S. oil producers last year, according Energy Information Administration research. And the bleeding is expected to continue at least early this year for many.\nThe losses surpassed $1 billion each from struggling oil companies like EOG Resources (EOG), Devon Energy (DVN) and Linn Energy (LINE) as well as SandRidge Energy (SD), the shale oil driller that recently admitted it\u2019s exploring a bankruptcy filing.\nThat is an astounding amount of money.\nThese days we throw around terms like \u201cmillions\u201d and \u201cbillions\u201d so much that they almost lose their meaning.\nBut this is real money that we are talking about here.\nIn recent days, Barack Obama has been running around boasting that he saved the world economy from another Great Depression. But that isn\u2019t true at all. Instead, our \u201cleaders\u201d have simply set the stage for a larger and more painful crisis. I like the way that Doug Casey recently put it\u2026\nYou\u2019ve got to remember that all of these governments and central banks all around the world have driven interest rates not just to zero, but to negative levels in some cases\u2026 and they are simultaneously printing up trillions of currency units. And even while they are desperately doing that the economy is falling apart in lots of different ways.\n\u2026They\u2019ve created a super-bubble in bonds, a bubble in stocks, and meanwhile commodities have collapsed and are below production costs in many cases.\n\u2026The economy is going to be very, very bad\u2026 It\u2019s the next stage of what I call the Greater Depression.\nWhether you want to call it a \u201cGreat Depression\u201d, a \u201cGreater Depression\u201d or \u201cThe Greatest Depression\u201d, the truth is that we are heading into a period of time that will be unlike anything any of us have ever experienced before.\nThe greatest debt bubble in the history of the planet is starting to implode, and this time the central bankers and the politicians are not going to be able to put the pieces back together again.\nBut just like in 2008, the vast majority of the population will not recognize the warning signs until it is way too late.\nThousands Of Companies Have Been Handing Over Your Personal Data To The NSA\nIt isn\u2019t just Internet and phone companies that are giving your personal information to the U.S. government. According to an astounding report by Bloomberg, \u201cfour people familiar with the process\u201d say that \u201cmakers of hardware and software, banks, Internet security providers, satellite telecommunications companies\u201d and a whole host of other sources are handing over your personal data to federal agencies. The truth is that there is so much more to this NSA snooping scandal than the American people know so far. When U.S. Representative Loretta Sanchez said that what Edward Snowden had revealed was \u201cjust the tip of the iceberg\u201c, she wasn\u2019t kidding. The U.S. government is trying to collect as much information about everyone on the planet as it possibly can. And this incredibly powerful intelligence machine is not going to go away just because a few activists get upset about it. The United States government spends more than 80 billion dollars a year on intelligence programs. Those that have spent their careers constructing this monolithic intelligence apparatus are doing to defend it to the bitter end, as will the corporate partners in the private sector that rake in enormous profits thanks to big fat government contracts. But if the American people don\u2019t stand up and demand change now, it is going to be a signal to those doing the snooping that they can push the envelope even more because nobody is going to stop them.\nSo why are thousands of companies handing over your personal data to the NSA? Well, according to Bloomberg they are getting things in return\u2026\nThousands of technology, finance and manufacturing companies are working closely with U.S. national security agencies, providing sensitive information and in return receiving benefits that include access to classified intelligence, four people familiar with the process said.\nThese programs, whose participants are known as trusted partners, extend far beyond what was revealed by Edward Snowden, a computer technician who did work for the National Security Agency. The role of private companies has come under intense scrutiny since his disclosure this month that the NSA is collecting millions of U.S. residents\u2019 telephone records and the computer communications of foreigners from Google Inc (GOOG). and other Internet companies under court order.\nThanks to the recent revelations by Edward Snowden, much of the focus so far has been on the information that the NSA gets from Internet and telecommunications companies, but apparently government agencies collect information about all of us from a vast array of sources\u2026\nMakers of hardware and software, banks, Internet security providers, satellite telecommunications companies and many other companies also participate in the government programs. In some cases, the information gathered may be used not just to defend the nation but to help infiltrate computers of its adversaries.\nAlong with the NSA, the Central Intelligence Agency (0112917D), the Federal Bureau of Investigation and branches of the U.S. military have agreements with such companies to gather data that might seem innocuous but could be highly useful in the hands of U.S. intelligence or cyber warfare units, according to the people, who have either worked for the government or are in companies that have these accords.\nWe have become a \u201csurveillance society\u201d, and this is exactly the sort of thing that the Fourth Amendment was supposed to protect us against. The government is only supposed to invade our privacy and investigate us when there is probable cause to do so.\nBut now the government is trying to collect as much information about all of us as it possibly can even though the vast majority of us will never be charged with any crime.\nThere seems to be no limit when it comes to how much personal data the government wants to gather on all of us. As I have written about previously, the chief technology officer at the CIA says that they \u201cfundamentally try to collect everything and hang onto it forever.\u201d\nAnd this does not just apply to American citizens. The U.S. government is compiling data on everyone on the planet. And since such a high percentage of Internet traffic flows through U.S. networks and U.S. companies, that gives the U.S. intelligence community a tremendous \u201chome-field advantage\u201d. The following is from a recent piece authored by Ronald Deibert, a professor of political science at the University of Toronto\u2026\nWhile cyberspace may be global, its infrastructure most definitely is not.\nFor example, a huge proportion of global Internet traffic flows through networks controlled by the United States, simply because eight of 15 global tier 1 telecommunications companies are American \u2014 companies like AT&T, CenturyLink, XO Communications and, significantly, Verizon.\nThe social media services that many of us take for granted are also mostly provided by giants headquartered in the United States, like Google, Facebook, Yahoo! and Twitter. All of these companies are subject to U.S. law, including the provisions of the U.S. Patriot Act, no matter where their services are offered or their servers located. Having the world\u2019s Internet traffic routed through the U.S. and having those companies under its jurisdiction give U.S. national security agencies an enormous home-field advantage that few other countries enjoy.\nBut what is really the point of all of this intelligence gathering?\nIs it to make us a little bit safer?\nIf so, we are making a massive mistake.\nBenjamin Franklin once wrote the following: \u201cThey who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.\u201d\nAre you willing to give up your Fourth Amendment rights in order to feel a little more safe?\nThe U.S. Constitution never guaranteed us safety. But it is supposed to guarantee our privacy.\nFortunately, it appears that at this point public opinion is very much against all of the snooping that the government has been doing. According to the Guardian, most of the recent surveys that have been done are coming up with very consistent results\u2026\nThursday, the Guardian released a poll conducted on Monday and Tuesday nights by Public Policy Polling looking at America\u2019s reaction to the National Security Agency (NSA) controversy. The public appears to be reacting negatively to the revelations \u2013 and it seems to be hurting President Obama.\nWe found 50% of American voters believe the NSA should not be collecting telephone or internet records, compared to the 44% who think they should. The results hold even when respondents were told that the data the government is collecting is \u201cmetadata\u201d (and not necessarily actual content of communications).\nThese results are consistent with a CBS News poll, Fox News poll, and YouGov survey that showed only 38%, 32%, and 35% of Americans respectively approved of phone record collection in order to reduce the chance of a terrorist attack. A Gallup poll was consistent with these, showing only 37% approved monitoring of Americans\u2019 phone and internet use.\nAnd Americans also seem to be very suspicious about what the government will do with our personal data once they have it.\nIn fact, according to a new Rasmussen survey, 57 percent of Americans believe that the government will use the information that it collects \u201cto harass political opponents\u201d.\nAnd of course many of the recent scandals that have erupted this year involve the government harassing political opponents. We have seen this with the IRS scandal, and we have seen this with the spying on reporters scandal.\nJust this week it was reported that CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson has had her computers hacked repeatedly. If you are not familiar with Attkisson, she is the one reporter in the mainstream media that has been relentless when it has come to pursuing the Operation Fast and Furious and Benghazi stories. Now we are learning that a \u201csophisticated\u201d intruder hacked into her computer \u201con multiple occasions\u201d in late 2012\u2026\nCBS News announced Friday that correspondent Sharyl Attkisson\u2019s computer was hacked by \u201can unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions,\u201d confirming Attkisson\u2019s previous revelation of the hacking.\nCBS News spokeswoman Sonya McNair said that a cybersecurity firm hired by CBS News \u201chas determined through forensic analysis\u201d that \u201cAttkisson\u2019s computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions in late 2012.\u201d\n\u201cEvidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson\u2019s accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data. This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion. CBS News is taking steps to identify the responsible party and their method of access.\u201d\nMeanwhile, in a desperate attempt to deflect attention away from all of these scandals, Barack Obama is starting a war with Syria.\nIn this war, we are actually going to be helping al-Qaeda rebels that are beheading Christians to take over Syria.\nIf you aren\u2019t aware of the deep connection between al-Qaeda and the Syrian rebels, just read the recent USA Today article entitled \u201cSyrian rebels pledge loyalty to al-Qaeda\u201d or any of the dozens of other articles that you can find on the Internet that document this very clearly.\nAnd the sick thing is that a large number of Republicans are actually applauding Barack Obama for teaming up with al-Qaeda.\nHas it suddenly become \u201cconservative\u201d to help al-Qaeda?\nThe truth was that our troops were in position long before Barack Obama made his \u201cstunning announcement\u201d on Thursday. In fact, it has been confirmed that U.S. troops are already in Jordan along the Syrian border.\nAnd could this conflict with Syria actually set the stage for a much larger conflict?\nThe Russians have been providing \u201cmortars, light artillery, antiaircraft guns, antitank weapons and ammunition\u201d to the Syrian government and they have loudly denounced the latest moves by the Obama administration.\nYes, the Assad government is horrible, but what Obama is doing in Syria is a terrible, terrible mistake.\nIf the U.S. takes down the Assad government, forces loyal to al-Qaeda and other radical jihadists are going to take over and we will have made Russia and China very angry. If the U.S. is unsuccessful in removing the Assad government, it will be considered a crushing defeat for the United States.\nThe Rest Of The World Is Absolutely Disgusted With Our Big Brother Spying Methods\nThe rest of the world has found out that the U.S. government has been listening to their phone calls and watching what they do on the Internet and they do not like it one bit. Outrage has been pouring in from all over the planet, and one member of the European Parliament is even comparing the NSA to the Stasi. But instead of stepping back and reevaluating our Big Brother spying methods now that they have been revealed, Barack Obama and other leading members of Congress are defiantly declaring that there is nothing wrong with these methods and that no changes will be made. The U.S. government is going to continue to invade the privacy of the citizens of the rest of the world as much as it possibly can, and our leaders don\u2019t seem to really care what the international response is. And make no mistake \u2013 the goal of the U.S. intelligence community is to literally know everything about everyone. The chief technology officer of the CIA, Gus Hunt, made the following shocking admission back in March: \u201cWe fundamentally try to collect everything and hang onto it forever.\u201d He followed that statement up with this gem: \u201cIt is really very nearly within our grasp to be able to compute on all human-generated information.\u201d In other words, they want it all, and they nearly have the capacity to gather it all already. So where does this end? Will the U.S. intelligence community ever be happy until they have every piece of data on every single person on the entire planet? Do we really want a government that collects \u201ceverything\u201d and hangs on to it \u201cforever\u201d?\nThanks to Edward Snowden, the rest of the globe is starting to understand the extent to which the U.S. government has been spying on them. Needless to say, a lot of people are extremely upset about this.\nIn Germany (a country that knows a thing or two about Big Brother tactics), some prominent politicians are publicly denouncing the surveillance that the U.S. government has been doing on their citizens. In fact, one German politician has accused the U.S. of employing \u201cAmerican-style Stasi methods\u201d\u2026\nIn a guest editorial for Spiegel Online on Tuesday, Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger said reports that the United States could access and track virtually all forms of Internet communication were \u201cdeeply disconcerting\u201d and potentially dangerous.\n\u201cThe more a society monitors, controls and observes its citizens, the less free it is,\u201d she said.\n\u201cThe suspicion of excessive surveillance of communication is so alarming that it cannot be ignored. For that reason, openness and clarification by the U.S. administration itself is paramount at this point. All facts must be put on the table.\u201d\nMarkus Ferber, a member of Merkel\u2019s Bavarian sister party who sits in the European Parliament, went further, accusing Washington of using \u201cAmerican-style Stasi methods\u201d.\nIn Italy, the government official in charge of data protection, Antonello Soro, said that the surveillance that the NSA is doing \u201cwould not be legal in Italy\u201d and would be \u201ccontrary to the principles of our legislation and would represent a very serious violation\u201d.\nIn Russia (another country with a long history of using Big Brother tactics), President Vladimir Putin has expressed significant concern about the NSA spying program and there are even rumors that Russia will be offering asylum to Edward Snowden\u2026\nAlexey Pushkov, head of the Duma\u2019s international affairs committee and a vocal US critic, said on Twitter: \u201cBy promising asylum to Snowden, Moscow has taken upon itself the protection of those persecuted for political reasons. There will be hysterics in the US. They only recognise this right for themselves.\u201d\nHe continued: \u201cListening to telephones and tracking the internet, the US special services broke the laws of their country. In this case, Snowden, like Assange, is a human rights activist.\u201d\nBut even more important than what foreign politicians think about the NSA spying scandal is what average people all over the globe think. This scandal is causing millions of average people all over the planet to look at the United States with disgust and disdain. How can we hold ourselves out as the \u201cdefenders of freedom\u201d to the rest of the globe when we are openly telling them that we are going to spy on them as much as we possibly can? How do we expect the rest of the world to look at us as \u201cthe good guys\u201d when we are selfishly grabbing and recording all of their emails, phone calls and Internet searches without any concern for their privacy whatsoever?\nWhat makes all of this even worse is that our top intelligence officials are making jokes about this scandal. For example, just check out the wisecracks that the Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, was making at an awards ceremony on Friday\u2026\nWith the current and past directors of national intelligence at the Omni Shoreham to honor former CIA and National Security Agency chief Michael Hayden, the result in speeches and interviews with intel professionals was a gumbo of outrage, worry and humor.\nDirector of National Intelligence James Clapper told the black-tie crowd of more than 700 he would \u201caddress the elephant in the room\u201d and proceeded, to applause, to denounce \u201cthe unauthorized leaks as reprehensible and egregious.\u201d Clapper characterized the program as completely legal, debated and reauthorized by Congress under strict oversight and by court order \u201cto make our nation safe and secure.\u201d\nHe then cracked a few jokes. \u201cSome of you expressed surprise that I showed up\u2014so many emails to read!\u201d Clapper said. Greeting fellow banqueter John Pistole, the administrator of the Transportation Security Administration who recently reversed a planned policy to permit air travelers to carry certain knives on planes, Clapper said, \u201cJohn, can I borrow your pocket knife?\u201d\nHow in the world can he make a joke about reading our emails at a time like this?\nThis is how arrogant the U.S. intelligence community has become. They feel like they can do whatever they want and get away with it.\nFor example, back in March Clapper flat out lied to the U.S. Congress about the surveillance that the NSA is doing. When he was asked by Senator Ron Wyden if the NSA was collecting any information on the American people, Clapper completely denied it.\nThe following is from a transcript of that exchange\u2026\n\u201cDoes the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?\u201d Oregon Republican Sen. Ron Wyden asked Clapper at the March 12 hearing.\n\u201cNo, sir,\u201d Clapper responded.\n\u201cIt does not?\u201d Wyden pressed.\nClapper recanted and said: \u201cNot wittingly. There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect \u2014 but not wittingly.\u201d\nApparently Clapper must have \u201cforgotten\u201d that the government is forcing all of the big telephone companies to turn over all of their call records to the NSA every single month.\nAnd you know what? The truth is that the government is not just collecting \u201cmetadata\u201d about our phone calls. The content of our calls is being recorded and stored as well. Just check out this story from the Blaze\u2026\nHollywood actor Shia LaBeouf in 2008 during an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno detailed how he learned phone calls were allegedly being recorded.\nPromoting the film \u201cEagle Eye,\u201d which according to IMDb shows how \u201ctechnology of everyday life [is used] to track and control,\u201d LaBeouf told Leno that an FBI consultant for the movie said one in five phone calls made are recorded and logged.\n\u201cAnd I laughed at him,\u201d LaBeouf said.\n\u201cAnd then he played back a phone conversation I\u2019d had two years prior to joining the picture,\u201d LaBouf continued.\nBoth Leno and LaBeouf concluded it was \u201cextremely creepy.\u201d\nThe American people, along with the people of the entire planet, deserve the truth about this.\nUnfortunately, Barack Obama is certainly not going to tell us the truth, and there will probably only be a half-hearted effort by some members of Congress to get to the bottom of things.\nThat is why it is going to be important to take this to court, and thankfully a couple of lawsuits are already in the works.\nAccording to U.S. News & World Report, one of these lawsuits is being filed by a former Justice Department prosecutor\u2026\nFormer Justice Department prosecutor Larry Klayman amended an existing lawsuit against Verizon and a slew of Obama administration officials Monday to make it the first class-action lawsuit in response to the publication of a secret court order instructing Verizon to hand over all phone records of millions of American customers on an \u201congoing, daily basis.\u201d\nKlayman told U.S. News he will file a second class-action lawsuit Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia targeting government officials and each of the nine companies listed in a leaked National Security Agency slideshow as participants in the government\u2019s PRISM program.\nAnd according to USA Today, the ACLU has also filed a lawsuit\u2026\nNational Security Agency surveillance programs came under more scrutiny Tuesday as the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit and a prominent senator and Internet giant Google called on the Obama administration to disclose more information.\nIn its lawsuit, the ACLU said an NSA program that harvests phone calls violates the rights of all Americans.\n\u201cThe program goes far beyond even the permissive limits set by the Patriot Act and represents a gross infringement of the freedom of association and the right to privacy,\u201d said Jameel Jaffer, the ACLU\u2019s deputy legal director.\nHopefully these lawsuits will reveal more details about the spying that has been taking place.\nThere is also a \u201cbipartisan coalition\u201d of 86 Internet companies and civil liberties organizations that have sent a letter to Congress demanding action on these issues. You can read the full letter right here. Some of the organizations involved include the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Reddit, Mozilla, FreedomWorks, and the Center for Digital Democracy.\nWill Congress listen to them?\nBut at least they are trying to do something about this.\nThe key will be to get the American people outraged enough about all of this that they won\u2019t forget about it in a week or two. And that is not an easy thing to do.\nThere have been a couple of public opinion polls taken over the past few days that show some very curious results. A Rasmussen survey found that 59 percent of Americans are against the government secretly collecting our phone records and only 26 percent are in favor. But a Washington Post survey found that 56 percent of Americans consider the collecting of our phone records to be \u201cacceptable\u201d and only 41 percent consider the practice to be \u201cunacceptable\u201d.\nHow could those two surveys get such wildly different results?\nA lot of it is in the way that they ask the questions.\nIn the end, our politicians don\u2019t really care too much about what the general public thinks anyway. They are just going to continue to do what they have been doing and the rest of the world will continue to become even more disgusted with us.\nWe are recklessly destroying our global reputation and our leaders do not even seem to care. But someday America will need some friends, and when that day arrives we may find that we don\u2019t have too many left.",

        "raw_content": "10 Ways The Transgender Push Mirrors The Lobotomy Craze\nWe can learn a lot by looking back at history. Here I revisit the rise and fall of the lobotomy and compare it to today\u2019s enthusiasm for altering children\u2019s bodies to match their gender identities.\nBack in 1987, Dr. Valenstein reminded attendees at a science conference to remember the history of the lobotomy. He warned that \u201call the major factors that shaped its development are still with us today.\u201d\n\u2026desperate patients and their families still are willing to risk unproven therapies when nothing else helps. Ambitious doctors can persuade some of the media to report untested cures with anecdotal \u2018research.\u2019.\u2026It could happen again.\nI believe it is happening again\u2014not with lobotomies, but pediatric medical transition. The treatment of \u201ctransgender\u201d children is gaining significant momentum, despite the lack of research and regardless of the significant risks involved.\nA Short History of the Lobotomy in the United States\nIn the United States, the lobotomy pioneer and leading practitioner was Dr. Walter Freeman, a neurologist based in Washington DC. His story is featured in the hour-long 2008 PBS documentary, \u201cThe Lobotomist,\u201d which I will quote throughout this article. Here is the full transcript.\nIn the spring 1936, Freeman came across a study conducted by Egas Moniz, a Portuguese neurologist, who took small corings from the brains of 20 patients with anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia. Moniz claimed the procedure eliminated symptoms in a third of them.\nFreeman built on Moniz\u2019s work. He thought disrupting the connections in the brain\u2019s frontal lobes would bring patients relief from intense mental anguish. Freeman didn\u2019t have a license to perform surgery, so he hired neurosurgeon James Watts.\nLater in 1936, under Freeman\u2019s direction Watts performed their first lobotomy. He made incisions on the patient\u2019s head, drilled holes through her skull, inserted a small spatula-like instrument into her brain, and sliced through neural fibers connecting the frontal lobes to the thalamus. Four hours later, she woke up alert, but calm.\nThey felt emboldened to perform more Freeman-Watts standard prefrontal lobotomies. After just a dozen, they were ready to declare the procedure a success even though some patients relapsed (which prompted second, and sometimes third, operations), and even if post-op patients had reduced intelligence, were unmotivated and lacked emotional depth.\nEventually Freeman sought an easier, quicker way to lobotomize patients. By 1946 he had devised a new method to access the brain using simple tools\u2014an ice pick and hammer. (The first ice pick was actually taken from Freeman\u2019s kitchen drawer. But modifications were made over time. The tip on earlier versions occasionally broke during the procedure.)\n\u201cFreeman would peel back each eyelid, insert his ice pick and with a hammer tap through the brain, wiggle it about, sever the frontal lobes, withdraw it,\u201d Andrew Scull, a sociology professor, told PBS. \u201cAnd when the patient came to, he or she would be given dark glasses to hide the black eyes they\u2019d been given.\u201d\nFreeman did the transorbital lobotomies himself, sometimes in his office. It took only a matter of minutes. He did not require an operating room and the equipment was portable, which made it convenient for travelling to mental asylums. At this point Watts, who had grave concerns about those without formal surgical training performing the \u201cice pick\u201d lobotomy, ended their partnership.\nThe Press Raves at a \u2018Miracle Cure\u2019\nInitially the procedure was heralded in the press as a miracle cure. Many sought out lobotomies for themselves or their loved ones. Enthusiasm flourished until the mid-1950s when an antipsychotic drug called Thorazine, promoted as a \u201cchemical lobotomy,\u201d became increasingly used. Around this time, the poor outcomes from the first clinical trials were also published. The procedure fell out of favor and was recognized as barbaric and Freeman a charlatan.\nFreeman moved to California, but didn\u2019t give up on lobotomies. He cultivated new categories of patients to treat. Disaffected housewives, people with chronic headaches, and misbehaved children were all fair game. Nineteen of Freeman\u2019s patients were children under the age of 18. One was only four years old!\nFreeman continued performing lobotomies until 1967. He may have kept operating if his hospital privileges had not been revoked. The hospital took this action only after one of Freeman\u2019s patients died from a brain hemorrhage following her third lobotomy.\nThe history of this medical fad reveals that pioneering doctors, and the medical establishment that embraces them, can fail in their duty to \u201cDo No Harm.\u201d It shows people, even those who possess medical degrees, are imperfect and can champion poor science.\nAt initial glance, it may appear that lobotomies (which target assumed defects of the brain) and the medical transition of gender dysphoric children (which target assumed defects of the body) have little in common. But if you look past which body parts are \u201ccorrected,\u201d you see that both are psychological conditions some doctors treat with drastic, irreversible medical interventions. There are a number of parallels.\n1. A High Level of Desperation\nBoth lobotomies and now the medical transitioning of young people have been more easily accepted because of their environment. A sense of hopelessness paired with yearning for a cure leads people to take chances they wouldn\u2019t normally.\nIn the 1930s, there were no anti-psychotic drugs to ease patients\u2019 intense suffering. Freemen justified lobotomizing the mentally ill due to their high suicide rates. He felt that a \u201csurgically induced childhood\u201d was beneficial and outweighed any potential risks.\nDuring this time, people suffering from severe mental illness were warehoused in overcrowded, underfunded mental asylums. The conditions were horrible. Some were tied up on benches. Others lay naked on the floor. Feces were sometimes smeared on the walls. Conditions became further strained with the return of shell-shocked World War II veterans.\nThere was a huge impetus to find treatments to alleviate sufferers\u2019 symptoms and allow them to go home to their families. When lobotomies were introduced and touted as a cure, many chose to have loved ones undergo the procedure, rather than admit them to one of these notorious institutions, like the one exposed in this newspaper story:\nCurrently, whenever the media discusses a transgender-identifying child, without fail they mention a high suicide attempt rate. Gender specialists imply that children will die unless fully \u201csupported\u201d in their chosen gender identities. We are told that proper pronouns, new clothes, a chest binder, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries may be necessary just to keep them alive.\nThis is just one of many examples found in today\u2019s media coverage of trans-identifying children: \u201cNeal found a therapist who told her and her husband to fully embrace Trinity\u2019s female identity. She said that the therapist also gave strikingly blunt advice. \u2018She said, \u2018Your daughter already knows who she is. Now you have to decide. Do you want a happy little girl or a dead little boy?\u2019\u201d\nGender specialists and trans activists continually scare parents with high suicide attempt statistics from a flawed survey that did not ask whether suicide attempts occurred before or after transition. Neither did it control for co-occurring mental health problems. Actually, one long-term study has shown that suicide rates are significantly higher in those who have medically transitioned compared to those of the general population.\nMany highly publicized suicides of trans-identifying teens were young people who had been fully supported in their transitions Additionally, gender-affirmative care has become enmeshed in the transgender rights movement. Well-funded civil rights organizations (including, but not limited to, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Human Rights Campaign, and the NCLR) campaign for children to be affirmed in their gender identities and given access to medical interventions that will transform them into their \u201cauthentic\u201d selves. Organizations like Gender Spectrum and Gender Diversity are in schools training staff and students in transgender ideology. Democrats have made transgender rights a part of their platform.\n2. Someone Besides the Patient Authorizes Treatment\nDuring the lobotomy craze, many patients were not able to consent to the procedure themselves. Parents, spouses, and siblings were called upon. Many opted to have their loved ones lobotomized based upon a professional\u2019s recommendation. Often they were given false hope and not informed of the serious side effects. Due to press\u2019s lavishing praise, some people actually demanded their relative receive a lobotomy.\nCurrently, parents are responsible for approving medical interventions for their under 18-year-old gender dysphoric children (although in Oregon it\u2019s possible for 15-year-olds to get double mastectomies or other surgeries without parental consent). Based on media coverage, it appears that quite a few parents are approving treatment.\nA parent\u2019s choice of what direction to take is highly influenced by the information they rely upon. Many gender specialists and the media paint a pretty rosy picture of what life can be like for children if they are affirmed in their gender identity and given body-altering treatments so they can pass as the opposite sex. But this is an optimistic belief, based on opinion and anecdote, not solid evidence.\n3. Highly Variable Results\nLobotomy outcomes were all over the map, which isn\u2019t surprising if you consider the procedure was an imprecise \u201cstab in the dark.\u201d Freeman\u2019s patients\u2014ranging from severely mentally ill adults to misbehaving children\u2014also had a wide variety of symptoms pre-treatment. Lobotomy outcomes generally could be divided into three categories: \u201cDrs. Freeman and Watts considered about one-third of their operations successes in which the patient was able to lead a \u2018productive life\u2019\u2026Another third were able to return home but not support themselves. The final third were \u2018failures,\u2019 according to Dr. Watts.\u201d\nAlthough they were relatively rare, some patients were fortunate enough to have no noticeable side effects. For them, having a lobotomy appeared to bring great relief. But the majority of patients with successful outcomes still had concerning side effects. They often became childlike, lost their ambition and weren\u2019t able to make judgments or function well socially. Most were significantly changed, never to be the same person again.\nHere are some before and after lobotomy pictures (Case 121, 1942). Before: \u201cForever fighting\u2026the meanest woman.\u201d After: \u201cShe giggles a lot.\u201d\nA significant number of post-op patients were reduced to a persistent vegetative state. And for others, the operation was fatal. The PBS narrator says \u201cAt Cherokee state hospital in Iowa, three of Freeman\u2019s patients died on the operating table, one after Freeman\u2019s ice pick slipped while he was taking a photograph. Without pausing, he packed up and left for his next demonstration.\u201d\nStatistics from the Veterans Administration (which performed approximately 2,000 lobotomies), kept track of how many died as a result of the procedure: \u201cThe VA did try to determine whether the benefits outweighed the risks. And the risks were severe. Overall, 8% of lobotomized veterans died soon after the operation, according to a 1947 document. One hospital reported a 15% fatality rate.\u201d\nThere are a variety of outcomes from medical gender transitions as well. Some people say transitioning is life saving. Some react poorly to cross-sex hormones or have surgical complications. Some decide to de-transition or re-identify as their natal sex. Some even die due to medical transition itself (here is an analysis of a 2014 Dutch survey study in which one patient died from complications of surgery).\n4.Treatment Based on Theories, Not Solid Evidence\nAs Freeman and Watts\u2019 patient caseload grew, they gained confidence in their technique and wanted to share it with colleagues. They presented their findings at a Baltimore medical conference and declared they\u2019d found a cure for mental illness.\nSome in the audience vociferously opposed Freeman and Watts. They were shocked that anyone would consider surgically damaging brains a good idea. They were astonished by the lack of research. Since it was not considered ethical to publically criticize a fellow physician, opposing viewpoints were muffled. Freeman was undeterred and plowed ahead.\nThere is a lack of research that backs up the medical transition of children. The current protocol being used in the United States is based on best guesses, not solid evidence. The gender affirmative approach, which advocates \u201csupporting\u201d children in their chosen gender identities, is a theory that has not undergone rigorous study. Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are being used off-label, their side effects are unknown in still-growing bodies. Some teens have even undergone mastectomies, hysterectomies, and genital surgeries.\nIn the United States, the first pediatric gender clinic opened its doors in 2007. But it wasn\u2019t until May of 2016, almost a decade later, that a National Institutes of Health-funded study recorded the effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones on young people. The patients will be followed for five years. All of the unknowns, however, aren\u2019t stopping practitioners.\n5. The Power of the Press\nFreeman used the media as a promotional tool. He often arranged for journalists and photographers to cover lobotomy demonstrations at mental asylums. \u201cThe Washington Star called lobotomy \u2018One of the greatest surgical innovations of this generation.\u2019 The New York Times called it \u2018surgery of the soul,\u2019 and declared it \u2018history making,\u2019\u201d the PBS documentary says.\nIn 1941, the Saturday Evening Post described the transformation of a lobotomized patient: \u201cA world that once seemed the abode of misery, cruelty and hate is now radiant with sunshine and kindness to them.\u201d\nA 1999 study analyzed popular press coverage of the lobotomy and its potential influence on how quickly acceptance of the procedure spread. The abstract says (emphasis added):\nThis study analyzed the content of popular press articles on lobotomy between the years 1935 and 1960. Both a qualitative and quantitative analysis provided evidence that the press initially used uncritical and sensational reporting styles, with the content of articles on lobotomy becoming increasingly negative through time. The initial positive bias occurred despite opposing views in the medical community, which provided a basis for more balanced coverage. These findings support the theory that biased reporting in popular press articles may have been a factor influencing the quick and widespread adoption of lobotomy as a psychiatric treatment.\nI don\u2019t know if you caught that, but journalists often omitted \u201copposing views in the medical community.\u201d In 1941, the American Medical Association issued \u201ca warning about several negative effects on personality including apathy, inappropriate social behavior, and lack of initiative (i.e., the frontal lobe syndrome).\u201d\nAlso of interest in the study were these statements: \u201cIn addition to sensationalizing the positive effects of lobotomy, articles during this time period rarely discussed risks involved in the operation\u201d and \u201c\u2026in most cases mention of negative side effects was either absent or cursory.\u201d\nCurrently there are nearly daily examples of trans kid media stories. They tend to be pretty formulaic. From an early age, the child realizes he or she feels different from peers. A girl that throws a fit when mom puts her in a dress; a boy that wants to wear a dress. In general, preferences in clothes, toys, and haircuts are used to validate that they\u2019re transgender.\nThe child (or parent) finds out about transgender through the Internet, radio, or television, and latches onto that explanation. They either want to avoid the \u201cwrong puberty\u201d or have struggled through puberty and want to correct their bodies with cross-sex hormones and surgeries.\nParents sometimes admit they didn\u2019t immediately believe their child was transgender. But when they learn of the suicide statistics, then they get on board. To drive the point home, the article quotes a purported expert in the field who states unproven theories as if they were settled science.\nWith few exceptions, journalists focus on the feel-good aspect of the child being accepted as the opposite sex, a triumph over adversity. Not much time (if any) is spent discussing opposing views in the medical community or the significant risks associated with medical interventions. Biased media coverage like this is likely contributing to the rapid increase in children presenting to gender clinics.\n6. An Embrace from Doctors\nInitially many of Freeman\u2019s fellow doctors were reluctant to embrace the lobotomy as an acceptable treatment, but that soon changed. Thanks to favorable newspaper articles, Freeman became somewhat of a celebrity. The public believed he had found a miracle cure. His services were sought.\nAdditionally, some state-funded mental asylums were so financially strapped that they were on the verge of closing. Freeman began travelling to these institutions, promoting lobotomies as a cost-cutting measure. The more patients discharged, the greater the savings; and the patients who remained were more manageable. Freeman even convinced the federal government via the Veterans Administration to perform lobotomies.\nIn 1948 Freeman was elected president of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology. In 1949 Moniz, whose work inspired Freeman\u2019s procedure, was awarded a Nobel Prize for psychosurgery (Freeman had nominated him). The lobotomy gained further credibility. By 1950, elite medical facilities, including Johns Hopkins, Mass General Hospital, and the Mayo Clinic were performing lobotomies.\nCurrently, there appears to be widespread acceptance of medical interventions for gender dysphoric youth. Clinics all across the country provide gender care. It\u2019s becoming more common to obtain insurance coverage for puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries. Some states have passed laws that forbid therapists from attempting to change children\u2019s gender identities. Many mental health professionals seem to believe their duty is to simply affirm children\u2019s beliefs, not to explore why they feel they\u2019re the opposite sex.\nA number of organizations, including the AMA and the APA, declare support for transgender people in health care.\n7. Expanding the Patient Base\nFreeman barnstormed mental asylums, operating on many patients in each location. He was frequently gloveless, mask-less and sometimes sleeveless. Once he performed 25 transorbital lobotomies in a single day.\nHe enjoyed shocking his audience. On some occasions, Freeman would start out operating using his right hand, and half way through switch to using his left hand. Other times he would an insert ice pick under each eyelid and simultaneously lobotomize through both eye sockets. Sometimes doctors in the audience would faint, or even vomit.\nWhile at the institutions, he trained others in his craft. Freeman claimed that \u201cAny damned fool, even a hospital psychiatrist, could learn it within an afternoon.\u201d A zealous recruit in Texas racked up 75 lobotomies in one day. Thanks to Freeman\u2019s mentoring and dogged salesmanship, lobotomies steeply increased\u2014from 150 in 1945 to more than 5,000 in 1949.\nFor pediatric gender care, the actual patient numbers in the United States are difficult to determine. But based on the fast-paced expansion of gender clinics across the nation, the patient load has likely escalated similarly to what has been seen in the UK:\nThe first gender clinic in the United States opened in 2007 in Boston. An October 2016 article states there are now more than 60. Based on this information, in conjunction with the growing number of 4thWaveNow parents (many who note the number of trans-identifying students in their local schools are multiplying), it appears that the cases of young people with gender dysphoria are skyrocketing.\n8. \u2018Correcting\u2019 Sexual Orientation\nUp until 1973 homosexuality was considered a mental disorder. Lobotomies were sometimes performed to \u201ccorrect\u201d sexual orientation. The current practice is to treat prepubescent trans-identifying kids with gender affirmation and puberty blockers. But according to decades of research, 60 to 90 percent of gender dysphoric children, if left alone, grow out of their distress. Most mature into lesbian and gay adults.\nPuberty is often the time gender dysphoria starts to resolve and sexual orientation begins to be self-recognized. Early interventions by gender specialists likely prevent many young people from ever becoming comfortable in their unaltered bodies. Furthermore, the vast majority (some clinics report 100 percent\u2014see here and here) of children on puberty blockers proceed to cross-sex hormones, irreversible sterilization, and possibly later surgeries.\n9. Earlier Interventions to Prevent \u2018Problems\u2019\nInitially Freeman claimed the lobotomy would be an operation of last resort. He once said, \u201dI won\u2019t touch them unless they are faced with disability or suicide.\u201d But as time went on he started advocating for lobotomy earlier, as a way to prevent mental deterioration. In a 1952 Time article (\u201cMass Lobotomies\u201d), he is quoted as saying, \u201cit is safer to operate than to wait.\u201d\nThe push for early intervention is also seen in medical transition of \u201ctrans\u201d kids. Initially it was reserved for gender dysphoric adults, but now children are increasingly being treated. The justification: if gender dysphoria is caught while they are young, they can avoid the years of misery that many older trans people report.\nIt is assumed that treating children earlier will help them appear more convincingly as the opposite sex. This, along with consistent affirmation of their gender identity, is assumed to help these children avoid suicidality, depression, unemployment, sexually transmitted diseases, drug abuse, and homelessness commonly found in the current adult transgender population. Gender doctors state they are saving these children from potential future problems (without acknowledging the significant risks treatment introduces).\n10. Ambitious Doctors\nFreeman came from a prominent medical family. His grandfather, William Keen, was a famous surgeon, the first to extract a brain tumor from a living patient. Freeman looked up to his grandfather and wanted to be as successful. Early in his career Freeman became determined to alleviate patients\u2019 emotional torment. He spent countless hours examining the brains of dead mental patients, trying to find a defect which could be corrected. But he was never able to find any.\nHe was thrilled to come across Egas Moniz\u2019s work, and latched onto lobotomies as a way to bring patients a sense of peace. Freeman appeared to genuinely believe he was helping people by lobotomizing them, but seemed blind to the negative impacts of his procedures.\nMany parents are concerned we may be in the midst of another disastrous medical fad.\n\u201cOne of the characteristics of an enthusiast, and Walter Freeman was certainly that, is that they are able to overlook everything that contradicts their enthusiasm. And they concentrate on all the things they see that show they\u2019re on the right path. So over and over again, we can see Freeman managing to dismiss the casualties of his surgical interventions,\u201d Scull told PBS.\nIn 2007, endocrinologist Dr. Norman Spack co-founded the first U.S. pediatric gender clinic in Boston. Spack frequently talks about suicide rates in media interviews, saying \u201calmost one in three trans individuals will attempt suicide if they do not receive treatment until after puberty.\u201d He is a big proponent of using GnRH-agonists to pause the puberty of gender-distressed children. Gender specialists often describe puberty blockers as \u201csafe,\u201d \u201creversible\u201d and \u201clife saving,\u201d but many have reported severe side effects, especially when administered to children.\nSpack says treating gender dysphoria is less complicated than it would seem: \u201cYou don\u2019t need to be a rocket scientist to take care of a transgender patient.\u201d In 2012, it was reported that Spack has trained many gender professionals across the United States and Canada. His program has spread to more than 60 pediatric gender clinics in the United States.\nMany parents are concerned we may be in the midst of another disastrous medical fad. Our kids\u2019 sudden change in gender identities has been easily accepted by their peers, schools, therapists, and doctors. Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries are routinely encouraged as necessary next steps. The level of enthusiasm is stunning. There\u2019s an absence of caution. We don\u2019t know how many young people will grow up to regret their permanently altered bodies.\nThe uncritical championing of child transition will eventually fizzle. Lessons will be learned. Science will evolve. Eventually books and documentaries may try to explain how things got so out of hand. How long that will take is anyone\u2019s guess.\nA version of this article first appeared on 4thWaveNow, a blog for LGB-supportive parents concerned about the increasing trend to medically \u201ctransition\u201d gender-nonconforming youth.\nRenee Gardner is the pseudonym of a mother who writes from Ohio. Her teenage daughter formerly identified as transgender, but is now comfortable being female.\ndoctor fads gender gender dysmorphia gender identity History LGBT lobotomy Media medical care medicine quacks sex sex change Trans transgender",

These include the first moves to establish a \u0093rapid response force\u0094 that can be deployed quickly to defend imperialist interests around the world .\nAt a subsequent meeting in Brussels of NATO foreign ministers, U.S. officials also sought to lay the basis for NATO to play a more direct role in supporting the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq. In an acknowledgment that Washington remains far from that goal, U.S. secretary of state Colin Powell said the immediate focus of their efforts was on NATO\u0092s involvement in Afghanistan.\nRumsfeld noted that NATO, in its first-ever military operation outside Europe, has taken over command of a contingent of 5,500 troops based in Kabul, Afghanistan\u0092s capital. A separate U.S.-led force of 11,500 troops has been operating in other parts of the country.\nIn a further step, the U.S. defense secretary emphasized, NATO is now moving to expand its operations outside Kabul to several provincial cities, closer to areas of potential combat. Rumsfeld said that the ministerial meeting \u0093also discussed the possibility that NATO might take over military operations in Afghanistan some time in the future.\u0094\nGerman troops have already been leading a military contingent, known as a \u0093Provincial Reconstruction Team,\u0094 in the northern town of Kunduz. NATO officials reported there are now five other such units, composed of U.S., British, and New Zealand troops.\nRumsfeld stated that, apart from Washington, the imperialist forces currently in Afghanistan\u0097particularly those from \u0093old Europe,\u0094 a term coined by U.S. officials during the war on Iraq this year to refer to the French-German bloc in the European Union\u0097have not yet provided adequate military equipment such as helicopters to conduct effective operations beyond Kabul.\nThe U.S. secretary of defense said that since the NATO summit in Prague a year ago, several steps have been taken to restructure NATO along the lines that Washington has been advocating. He highlighted the establishment of the new rapid-response force, which would reinforce the need \u0093to transform the militaries\u0094 of NATO members and demonstrate \u0093the importance of agility and the importance of speed and being capable of being deployed,\u0094 as he put it in a November 30 press conference.\nOn December 1, Rumsfeld said, \u0093NATO stood up the initial rotation of its new Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Battalion.\u0094\nAt the December 4 Brussels meeting of foreign ministers, U.S. officials urged NATO to consider taking a more direct role to support the U.S.-dominated occupation force in Iraq. As an initial step, Powell suggested NATO eventually take over the command of a division of forces in south-central Iraq currently under Polish command. NATO\u0092s involvement so far has been limited to providing logistical support to the division, which has 9,500 troops from 17 countries, including 2,500 from Poland.\n\u0093Not one single NATO member here today\u0097or seven countries due to join next year\u0097spoke against the possibility of an expanded role for NATO in Iraq,\u0094 Powell told reporters after the meeting. \u0093And that includes\u2026France and Germany,\u0094 he said, when asked if those two governments had raised objections.\nPowell\u0092s comments were a tacit admission that Washington has made little progress in getting NATO to commit troops to Iraq. That will not happen without agreement from Paris and Berlin, which have said they would do so only under a United Nations-sponsored command.\nWhile the French government is not part of NATO\u0092s military command, it has the second-largest contingent in NATO\u0092s new rapid-response force.\nBerlin and Paris have urged a quicker transfer of formal power to a regime that gives the appearance of being run by Iraqis. U.S. officials hope objections by Paris and Berlin \u0093will soften,\u0094 an article in the Los Angeles Times said, when Washington sets up a new \u0093transitional\u0094 government later in 2004 to give the occupation more of an Iraqi face and boost its popular acceptance.\nBefore the invasion of Iraq nine months ago, the German and French governments, defending their own lucrative trade relations and investments in that country, had been critical of how Washington was leading the drive toward war there.\nIn Brussels, the European ministers also continued their discussions on plans for a common defense policy in time for the mid-December drafting of a European Union (EU) constitution, including an EU military arm. Berlin and Paris have argued for a EU military wing of NATO.\nPowell said he applauded efforts by European governments to increase their military capability but warned that the EU military arm must not undermine NATO. \u0093The United States cannot accept independent EU structures that duplicate existing NATO capabilities,\u0094 he said.\nAt a European security conference in the Netherlands, Powell insisted that such a force should be deployed only where NATO \u0093for one reason or another\u0094 is unwilling to take on a military intervention.\nAt a December 2 roundtable with European editors in Brussels, Rumsfeld was asked his opinion on the possible dispute between the U.S.-led NATO and the Franco-German initiative for an EU military force. The defense secretary said the answer is \u0093above my pay grade at this stage in time,\u0094 implying that the brewing conflict will be dealt with at the head-of-state level.\nDuring a December 8 meeting in Brussels, the European Union failed to reach agreement on a mutual defense clause for an EU constitution that was to be debated at a European Union summit later that week. The governments of Austria, Finland, Ireland, and Sweden opposed a clause, modeled on a NATO statute, that would oblige all EU members to provide military support to any EU state under attack. British foreign minister Jack Straw said he understood the concerns about this proposal.\nThe French and German governments, meanwhile, are expected to stand firm on steps toward an EU military arm of the kind that irks Washington. \u0093Substantial progress has been made in finding a form of words to describe the setting up of a European military operational cell,\u0094 said an article in the December 9 Financial Times. \u0093But France still wants such a cell to be the basis of a future command and planning headquarters running EU defense operations in co-operation with NATO but independent of it.\u0094\nThe same day, two U.S. government officials briefed Washington\u0092s allies in NATO on Pentagon plans to close or scale down many of the permanent U.S. bases established after World War II in Germany and other NATO countries and shift the troops instead to smaller and more agile military centers in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Central Asia.\n\u0093The cold war is over, we face new threats,\u0094 said Marc Grossman, a U.S. undersecretary of state, according to the December 9 International Herald Tribune. \u0093We need to make sure that our force posture and the posture of NATO and our allies is aligned in such a way to meet these new threats.\u0094\nGrossman and Douglas Feith, a U.S. undersecretary of defense, told reporters they were due to split up for visits to Germany, France, Britain, Turkey, Russia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain, and Iceland. \u0093The inclusion of Poland and Romania and Bulgaria was significant,\u0094 the Tribune said. \u0093All have been mentioned as possible hosts of new American bases.\u0094 Many U.S. troops and bases may be shifted to these countries from Germany, which has been host to 80,000 of the 116,000 U.S. troops in Europe.\nTokyo pushes for troops in Iraq\nAt the same time, in a major step by Japanese imperialism to begin to deploy its military forces abroad, the Japanese cabinet voted December 9 to send up to 1,000 \u0093noncombat\u0094 troops to Iraq. The controversial move had twice before been put on hold.\nJapan has one of world\u0092s largest and most modern armed forces\u0097termed a \u0093self-defense force\u0094\u0097but since its defeat by Washington in World War II, it has been barred under a U.S.-imposed constitution from using military forces abroad.\nThe debate flared anew after two Japanese diplomats were killed in Iraq last month by forces opposed to the U.S.-led occupation.\nTokyo staged a state funeral for the two diplomats December 6. Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi used the patriotic speeches and displays of Japanese flags to press his argument for sending troops to Iraq. \u0093Japan\u0092s spirit is being tested,\u0094 Koizumi said. \u0093We are no longer in a situation where we can only pay money. We must perform our utmost.\u0094 Earlier this year, Tokyo pledged $5 billion in financial backing for the imperialist occupation force.\nWhile the Japanese unit is supposed to be on a \u0093humanitarian\u0094 mission in Iraq, the heavily armed troops are authorized to engage in combat for \u0093self-defense.\u0094\nIn Iraq, Washington has moved to set up a \u0093war crimes\u0094 tribunal to organize trials against former officials of the Saddam Hussein regime. Seeking to tap the deep hatred among many Iraqis for the former party-police state, U.S. officials plan to use the tribunals to try figures such as Ali Hassan al-Majid, known as \u0093Chemical Ali\u0094 for his alleged role in chemical attacks on Kurds in the 1980s, and Muhammad Hamza al-Zubaydi, a leader of the regime\u0092s bloody suppression of a Shiite Muslim revolt in southern Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War.\nTo win more popular support for such a tribunal, the imperialist occupation forces plan to use Iraqi judges. This is in contrast with \u0093war crimes\u0094 trials such as the UN tribunal targeting former Yugoslav government officials, which Washington has used to justify its 1999 war against Yugoslavia\nIn a string of continuing attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq, two bombs targeted U.S. military convoys in Baghdad December 5, the day before U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld made an unannounced visit to Iraq. In one of the bombings, in a crowded market, one U.S. soldier and four Iraqis were reportedly killed and 16 Iraqis were wounded. Most of those injured were passengers in a passing bus, an AP dispatch reported.\nThe attacks sparked expressions of anger from some of the local residents. \u0093I don\u0092t understand why they do it. They know there\u0092s a Friday market here and there are a lot of people,\u0094 cake shop owner Abdul Wahad Allwan said, according to an article in the Khaleej Times. \u0093They hurt one American but they killed and wounded far more Iraqis,\u0094 stated Ahmed Ali, a sweets seller in the market.\nThe next day, a funeral in the Sunni Muslim town of Samarra for two Iraqis killed in a firefight with U.S. troops led to a clash, with mourners killing an Iraqi security official and chanting pro-Saddam slogans over his body. When members of the U.S.-led Iraqi Civil Defense Corps ordered some of those at the funeral to stop firing weapons in the air as is traditional, some mourners reportedly fired at the paramilitary forces, fatally shooting a guard and setting their truck on fire. Dozens of people chanted, \u0093Long live Saddam! Death to the traitors!\u0094 reported AP correspondent Sameer Yacoub. The funeral was for two people who had been killed November 30 when armed attackers engaged a contingent of 100 U.S. troops in a firefight. The U.S. forces unleashed their devastating firepower, leaving numerous civilians dead and wounded and sparking widespread anger.\nSamarra is in an area north of Baghdad sometimes referred to as the \u0093Sunni Triangle,\u0094 where the Baathist party-government apparatus, which combined patronage and terror during its decades of rule, had its strongest base. Much of the armed resistance to the U.S.-led occupation has been in this region. Little armed opposition has taken place in the largely Shiite south or among the Kurds in the north.\nNew Baath Party minus Hussein?\nAccording to the December 4 Financial Times, \u0093Iraqi officials and political parties say former Ba\u0092athist leaders who had fallen out with Saddam Hussein in the past are looking at setting up a political party under a new name and are letting it be known that they have excluded Mr. Hussein from the new movement.\u0094 Such a move, however, is expected to meet with hostility from U.S. forces. The occupiers have been waging a \u0093de-Baathification\u0094 campaign to eliminate the top ranks of Baath Party officials from the administration. This campaign affects tens of thousands, especially Sunnis, who tended to dominate such jobs under Hussein. The purges have caused resentment among some in the Sunni population.\nSome Iraqi groups that are part of the U.S.-backed \u0093interim\u0094 government have argued that the existence of such an organization would help undercut the military resistance by former Baathist elements. \u0093If we are for a real democracy as they [Washington] say, this means the field should be open to all parties,\u0094 said Jassem Essawi, spokesperson for the National Unity Movement, a Sunni Islamist political group that appears to have a measure of support. \u0093The Iraqi street should judge whether a new Ba\u0092ath is acceptable.\u0094\nWhat\u0092s the nature of Iraqi resistance?",

        "raw_content": "Brandon Goodship has high ambitions\n11th July 2018 admin 0 Comments Brandon Goodship\nWEYMOUTH striker Brandon Goodship remains committed to the club but admitted he aims to play at the \u201chighest level\u201d possible.\nBefore a 6-0 friendly defeat to Bournemouth Under-23s, the Terras\u2019 striker was handed the golden boot by director Pete Saxby following his 38 goals in the Evo-Stik Southern Premier Division.\nGoodship\u2019s goals helped Weymouth finish fifth in the league last campaign until a 3-0 play-off semi-final defeat to King\u2019s Lynn put paid to their chances of promotion.\nSpeaking to Echosport about the prospect of rival clubs sniffing around the striker after his remarkable form, Goodship insisted he took rumours with a \u201cpinch of salt\u201d.\nHe said: \u201cI\u2019ve heard of a few bits and pieces that have gone on. In football you never really know what\u2019s true until it\u2019s put in front of you on paper.\n\u201cYou take it with a pinch of salt. I\u2019ve not spoken to anyone, it\u2019s just what you hear on the rumour mill. I just get on with things.\n\u201cI want to play at the highest level I can possibly play at. If nothing comes up I\u2019ll give my all for Weymouth like I did last year.\u201d\nCommenting on his receipt of the golden boot, Goodship felt the award was as much for his team-mates as himself.\nHe said: \u201cI couldn\u2019t attend the evening the Southern League put on (to collect it), but it\u2019s a really good award.\n\u201cLike I\u2019ve said before, I\u2019m delighted to have it and it\u2019s one I wouldn\u2019t have without my team-mates. It\u2019s any award for everyone rather than just for me.\n\u201cIf I get in the right position and get the chances I always back myself to score. Hopefully I get it again, but the team comes first.\n\u201cI\u2019d much rather win the league and not win the golden boot.\u201d\nAsked if winning the league was in his sights, Goodship added: \u201cIt\u2019s got to be. Finishing fifth with 97 points last year, the only progression on that is to win the league or promotion.\n\u201cIt has to be at the forefront of everyone\u2019s minds.\u201d\nWith pre-season firmly underway, Goodship praised Weymouth\u2019s professionalism during the summer \u2013 a key trait of manager Mark Molesley\u2019s regime.\nHe said: \u201cWe all got given our own performance plans to stay in shape and work on a few things. We\u2019ve all stuck to that and looking at the boys in pre-season everyone\u2019s looking fit and raring to go.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been at clubs before \u2013 higher league clubs \u2013 and the professionalism isn\u2019t as much. While everyone is pulling in the right direction there\u2019s only going to be one goal. It\u2019s really good to be a part of.\u201d\nWith Weymouth shipping six goals against the Cherries, Goodship was reluctant to dismiss the result against his former side as symptomatic of friendlies, expressing his desire to win every game.\n\u201cI thought it was a good fitness workout, they\u2019re a very good side. It was always going to be a tough opposition having played with a few of the boys before.\n\u201cI think we should read into the result a little bit. We want to win every game we play in. We intended to go out there and put in a good performance and get a good result.\n\u201cTo say the result doesn\u2019t matter, I\u2019d like to think that every game we go into we want to win.\u201d\n\u2190 Buckley:\u201d We can go on and top last season\u201d\nJake McCarthy is proud to lead Weymouth \u2192\nRoyston Town game rearranged\nMark Molesley\u2019s eye is on Stratford Town",

Professor Bruce Jentleson has taught the subject for over 30 years, written one of the leading books on it, and has served in numerous U.S. foreign policy positions.\nThe 4 P's is a useful tool for thinking about trade-offs in foreign policy (but I wouldn't hang a whole course on it). The lectures were OK, although they don't have any particular underlying world view or special insight, so you could achieve the same from reading wikipedia. The writing tasks for the 'distinction' track were rather too open, and the grading architecture sloppy. A lot of the essays, which I dutifully graded highly according to the criteria, hadn't really engaged with the course deeply.\nIn fairness, I'm older: I actually remember the Iranian revolution of '79 and I've followed most of the areas covered in the course (via BBC, press) as they happened. If I was 19 years old, this course probably would be both more demanding and more useful - and bring me up to date with what I missed.\nMany thanks to Professor Bruce W Jentleson, his team and Duke University coursera.org site for great opportunity to follow the course which for me was very instructive and stimulating.

Firstly, I want to sincerely thank all my parliamentary colleagues on both sides of the chamber for what I think has been an outstanding debate. But I also wanted to acknowledge those in this corner who have worked so hard on this issue for such a long time. Of course, I refer to the member for Brisbane, Trevor Evans, and the member for Goldstein\u2014Tim Wilson-Bolger!\u2014and the member for Leichhardt, who is temporarily absent, so I\u2019ll say while he\u2019s absent that earlier today we had a photo of all the LGBTI members of the parliament, and everyone said, \u2018Where\u2019s Warren?\u2019 We had to remind ourselves that he\u2019s not actually gay! But I think we can make him an honorary gay. His leadership has been outstanding. I also want to again thank, in front of this gallery, those in the Equality Campaign, led so ably by Alex Greenwich, Tom Snow, Janine Middleton\u2014who I saw up there before looking very Mosman!\u2014Tiernan Brady and of course the incredible Anna Brown and that whole team that did so much.\nTwo years ago this week the voters of North Sydney sent to this chamber the first openly gay member of the House of Representatives. At the time, I was the first openly gay member\u2014though I suspect that I probably wasn\u2019t the first gay in the village over the parliament\u2019s 116 years! But, nonetheless, I raise that because, in the lead-up to that election, many people wondered whether the community, in a lower house election, would embrace an openly gay candidate. And, of course, they did, because, as they should have, they judged me on my merits.\nTwo years later, people wondered whether Australians would embrace the relationships of their fellow gay and lesbian sisters and brothers, and, of course, we know they did, so resoundingly. What they said was that they understood that a same-sex relationship was no less committed, no less loving, no less difficult, no less beautiful and wonderful than any other relationship. Today we fulfil the wishes of the Australian people, and, in so doing, we leave this parliament making Australia, I think, a far better place.\nDuring the course of campaigns there are often slogans\u2014often some great slogans. Who will forget \u2018Jobs and growth\u2019, which was a great slogan! But I want to conclude by saying that there are three words this year that have touched the hearts and minds of all Australians: \u2018Love is love\u2019. And, as we celebrate the Christmas spirit, I\u2019m sure that\u2019s something that we can all agree on.",

        "raw_content": "Indonesia is no longer a poster child for pluralism\nReligious persecution of the Ahmadiyah tarnish Indonesia's reputation as a bulwark of moderate, democratic Islam\nThe first week of February marked the annual celebration of World Interfaith Harmony Week, a UN resolution that aimed to promote religious and cultural understanding among people of different faiths. But proceedings were marred by the cruellest of events in Indonesia, with celebrations tarnished by a string of vicious attacks on the nation's religious minorities.\nThe most serious attack was waged against the Ahmadiyah sect in Banten, which resulted in three of its members being beaten to death at the hands of the Islamic Defenders Front, a hardline Islamic group. The history between the two has been fractious at best, but in recent times the conflict has assumed an internecine edge. Footage of the bloody attack in Banten on 6 February showed police officers providing an embarrassingly feeble match for a crowd of 1,500 villagers, equipped with machetes, rocks and bamboo sticks.\nAhmadiyah Muslims believe Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was Islam's last prophet, and as such find themselves at odds with the Islamic Defenders Front, which has repeatedly called upon local and provincial authorities to disband the sect, in addition to vandalising mosques and physically harassing members. The group even receives tacit encouragement from members of the Indonesian government, such as the federal religious affairs minister, who proposed that Ahmadiyah followers renounce their identification with Islam and refrain from using Islamic symbols.\nIndonesia has undergone a remarkable transition after decades of repression under the Suharto regime. It can now claim a thriving democracy, a burgeoning civil society and record levels of economic growth to its name. It is touted as a bastion of a more moderate, democratic Islam; it has staked its nationhood on a mantra of \"unity in diversity\". But Indonesia remains plagued by vast economic inequalities, disenfranchised youth and porous borders: elements conducive to encouraging radicalism. Lately, there have been an increasing number of attacks on religious freedom spearheaded by hardline Islamic groups, who see themselves as the sole vanguard of morality amid the nation's anxious lurch towards modernity.\nThe attack in Banten is merely one in a string of attacks on Ahmadiyah Muslims, which has also included sect members being driven out of Lombok and vandalism of Ahmadiyah headquarters in Makassar and South Sulawesi. But Ahmadiyah followers are not the only target of extremists. Last week there were reports of vandalism and firebombing ofCatholic schools and churches in Central Java, once again suspected to be the work of the Islamic Defenders Front. An Indonesian human rights group, the Setara Institute for Democracy and Peace, reported that 64 attacks on religious freedom \u2013 which include incidents of physical abuse, preventing groups from performing prayers and burning places of worship \u2013 took place in 2010, a sharp increase from 18 in 2009 and 17 in 2008.\nAs religious hate crimes blemish the archipelago's moderate and tolerant image, the government faces pressure from human rights groups and disgruntled citizens to enshrine religious pluralism in law. International groups, such as Amnesty International, have declared that religious freedom in Indonesia is \"in tatters\", while peace rallies have been staged across the nation, urging the government to protect the right to religious freedom. And still, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has been keen to trumpet Indonesia as a poster-child for unity amid diversity, emboldening a once-fractured nation by its embrace of religious, cultural and ethnic pluralism.\nBut in the aftermath of all the violence, his remarks ring hollow. While Yudhoyono has condemned the actions of those responsible for the killings in Banten, he also implored the Ahmadiyah community to \"respect the joint [ministerial] agreement signed in 2008\", which refers to a decree banning the sect from public worship and disseminating its beliefs. This decree, coupled with the decision of the Indonesian constitutional court to uphold a controversial law banning religious blasphemy, shows that religious pluralism in Indonesia is far from fully realised. Instead, it reveals that institutional sclerosis systemically undermines the very values that are an intrinsic part of Indonesia's national identity.\nWhile these incidences of religious persecution may be specific to Indonesia, their implications are universal. Its struggles for democracy and pluralism are now being fought by other Muslim-majority nations such as Egypt and Tunisia. Clearly, the Indonesian narrative has much to teach the rest of the world: it challenges the misconception that moderate Islam and democracy are incompatible, and also shows that Muslim-majority nations are willing to embrace a more secular brand of nationalism. Of Indonesia's 250 million inhabitants, 86% are Muslims, yet presidents from secular political parties have repeatedly been elected to office.\nOf course, Indonesia's transformation also highlights some inconvenient truths: that the road to progress is a rocky one, and that clashes between competing ideologies are inevitable. Nonetheless, it is how one resolves these clashes that is of greater significance. If the Indonesian government is serious about maintaining Indonesia's reputation as a bulwark of pluralism, democracy and moderate Islam, it must realise that its actions will speak much louder than its rhetoric.\nIndonesian court lets anti-Ahmadi mob perpetrators off 'lightly'\nNo shame for religious killings in Indonesian town\nIndonesia Ahmadiyah attack: Outrage over victim jailing",

        "title": "Tulisan Murtad: Will Barack Obama Try To Stay In Office If Donald Trump Wins The Election?",
        "raw_content": "Will Barack Obama Try To Stay In Office If Donald Trump Wins The Election?\nIf Donald Trump wins in November, will Barack Obama leave office and hand over power in an orderly fashion? Normally we would not even have to ask such a question, but these are not normal times. This week, Obama publicly stated that Trump \u201cis unfit to serve as President\u201d and that he is \u201cwoefully unprepared to do this job\u201c. In addition, he told the press that Trump \u201cdoesn\u2019t have the judgment, the temperament, the understanding to occupy the most powerful position in the world.\u201d If Obama really believes those things are true, would he really just stand aside and hand the keys to the White House to Trump?\nNever before have I ever heard a sitting president claim that one of the major party candidates could not function as president. But that is what Obama has just done. The following is an excerpt from a transcript of remarks made by Obama earlier this week that comes directly from the official White House website. I have highlighted certain phrases in bold text, because I want you to truly consider the implications of what he is saying here\u2026\nBut there have been Republican Presidents with whom I disagreed with, but I didn\u2019t have a doubt that they could function as President. I think I was right, and Mitt Romney and John McCain were wrong on certain policy issues, but I never thought that they couldn\u2019t do the job. And had they won, I would have been disappointed, but I would have said to all Americans they are \u2014 this is our President, and I know they\u2019re going to abide by certain norms and rules and common sense, will observe basic decency, will have enough knowledge about economic policy and foreign policy and our constitutional traditions and rule of law that our government will work, and then we\u2019ll compete four years from now to try to win an election.\nBut that\u2019s not the situation here. And that\u2019s not just my opinion; that is the opinion of many prominent Republicans.There has to come a point at which you say, enough.\nEarlier today, I came across an outstanding article by Joseph Farah of WND in which he summarized the claims that Obama was making against Trump\u2026\nHe said Trump would not abide by \u201cnorms and rules and common sense.\u201d\nHe questioned whether he would \u201cobserve basic decency\u201d should he reach the Oval Office.\nHe said he would have been disappointed to lose the elections of 2008 and 2012, but never doubted whether his rivals in those elections, John McCain and Mitt Romney, could function as president or had the knowledge to make government work. \u201cThat\u2019s not the situation here,\u201d he added.\nHe added Trump \u201cdoesn\u2019t have the judgment, the temperament, the understanding, to occupy the most powerful position in the world.\u201d\nHe said he was \u201cwoefully unprepared to do this job.\u201d\nObama said Trump lacked knowledge about Europe, the Middle East and other parts of Asia.\nThis is some extremely strong language, and I truly wish one of the reporters at the press conference would have asked one incredibly important follow up question.\nIn his article, Joseph Farah raised the same issue\u2026\nIf no one else will ask the question, I will: \u201cMr. President, if Donald Trump wins the election to become the next president of the United States, will you willingly and peacefully leave office and cooperate fully with the transition of power the way all of your predecessors in the White House have done in the past?\u201d\nIt\u2019s a simple question that needs to be asked and answered \u2013 given Obama\u2019s highly inflammatory rhetoric over the last week.\nLike Farah, I believe that it is a fair question.\nIf Barack Obama truly believes all of the things he said about Donald Trump, does he also believe that he has a responsibility to keep Donald Trump from taking office?\nAbsent a major national emergency of some sort, this would be very difficult for Obama to do. But if there were some sort of enormous national crisis between now and next January, Barack Obama could potentially employ some of the extraordinary emergency powers that have been endowed on the office of the president over the past several decades.\nThere is not a single statute, regulation, executive order or presidential directive that contains all of the powers that a president would possess during a major national emergency. Rather, these powers have been layered on top of one another for a very long period of time, and they come from literally dozens of different laws, regulations, court decisions, executive orders and presidential directives.\nOne document that I would refer you to is National Security Presidential Directive 51 which was put into effect during the Bush administration. It is all about \u201cnational continuity policy\u201d and it defines a \u201ccatastrophic emergency\u201d as \u201cany incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions\u201d.\nIn such a scenario, the president would have almost unlimited power, and he would wield enormously powerful executive orders such as this one. If there was a big enough emergency, the president would potentially be able to declare martial law, suspend elections and essentially become a dictator.\nLet us hope that we never see such a thing play out in the United States of America.\nFor the moment, there is not much of a threat that Obama will try to stop Trump from taking office because Hillary Clinton has jumped out to a huge lead in the latest McClatchy-Marist poll\u2026\nThe former secretary of State gained ground in the McClatchy-Marist poll, and Trump lost support. Clinton had the support of 48% of those surveyed, and Trump had 33%. Last month, Clinton had 42% while Trump had 33%.\nWhen third-party candidates are included, Clinton\u2019s lead held strong. She had 45%, and Trump had 31%, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson had 10% and Green Party candidate Jill Stein had 6%.\nAnd the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that Clinton is leading Trump by a 47 percent to 38 percent margin.\nOne thing that I found interesting about both of these polls is that they show two third party candidates gaining ground. The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll had Gary Johnson with 10 percent support and Jill Stein at five percent.\nJill Stein is still behind Johnson at this point, but she is potentially the much stronger candidate. If she starts to catch fire with Bernie Sanders supporters, she could possibly even hit the 15 percent threshold for being invited to participate in the upcoming presidential debates.\nAnd Donald Trump certainly needs something to change about this race, because right now he is really struggling.\nBut there is a long way to go until November, and as we have seen, anything is likely to happen in this election cycle.",

        "title": "Nick's Twins Blog: October 2006",
        "raw_content": "Silva's '07 Option Picked Up\nIn the spirit of Halloween, the Twins are doing their best to horrify fans, as they announced this afternoon that they have picked up Carlos Silva's $4.35 option for 2007. Silva was downright painful to watch this season, posting numbers that ranked among baseball's worst in almost every major category. And now, for that performance, he will be receiving a raise of more than $1 million to come back next season.\nIt's difficult to be overly critical of Terry Ryan and the Twins for making this move, because their hand was forced to a great degree. If Francisco Liriano was healthy and locked in as a starter for next season, and if Brad Radke wasn't almost certain to retire, it's entirely possible the Twins would have parted ways with the 27-year-old Silva rather than grossly overpaying him for what will likely be another sub par season. The fact is that Johan Santana and Boof Bonser are the only sure things heading into the off-season; Scott Baker had a highly disappointing season in '06 and Matt Garza failed to prove himself as a bona fide member of the rotation. Even with Silva coming back, it's likely that the Twins will still be in the market for another veteran starter during the offseason so that they won't be forced to rely on two inexperienced and inconsistent youngsters at the bottom of the rotation.\nDeclaring Silva worthless might be a bit premature. We cannot forget that Silva was very good in 2005, posting a winning record and a very good 3.44 ERA. With that said, his 2006 season was an absolutely disaster and it's really difficult to see him returning to form after the way he struggled all year long. He's a pitcher that treads a dangerous line: a sinker-baller with almost no ability to strike out opposing batters, who must induce groundballs to have any success. As we saw this season, the ability to force opposing hitters to put the ball on the ground is a skill that comes and goes and if he doesn't have it, he's basically throwing BP.\nThe Twins' decision to pick up Silva's option is no treat, and sadly it's probably not a trick either. The team is simply low on arms in the rotation, and they have to go with the guy who has some experience. The fact that he'll be eating up almost $5 million in salary is disappointing, but that's just the way things work.\nIf there's one thing Terry Ryan has shown a great knack for in his time as general manager of the Minnesota Twins, it's getting great value out of trades. While his track record in free agency may be far from spotless, he has been responsible for some of the most noteworthy trades of the last decade, which can often be described as nothing short of a \"steal.\" While the A.J. Pierzynski trade that brought in Francisco Liriano, Joe Nathan and Boof Bonser may be his crowning achievement, you can't overlook the trades that produced players like Nick Punto, Jason Bartlett, and Shannon Stewart.\nNow, I'll take a look at the major trades that Ryan made over the course of this season as well as the previous offseason, and an analysis of how they're looking so far. As you might have guessed, a couple are looking like definite steals.\nTravis Bowyer and Scott Tyler to Florida for Luis Castillo\nRyan has generally made it a rule of thumb to avoid parting with good pitching prospects. He made an exception to this philosophy last offseason went he sent Bowyer, along with low-level prospect Tyler, to the Marlins in return for a veteran second baseman in Castillo.\nBowyer, a 20th-round draft pick by the Twins in 1999, was coming off an excellent 2005 campaign in which he posted a 2.78 ERA in 74 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level as a 24-year-old reliever. He struck out 96 and walked 40. The Marlins acquired him and it seemed that he could be the team's full-time closer as soon as this year. Unfortunately for Florida, Bowyer missed the entirety of the 2006 season with shoulder problems. He had surgery last month and is expected to miss the beginning of the 2007 season.\nTyler, on the other hand, had an interesting season in the Marlins' system. He also struggled with injuries at times, but did manage to throw 61 1/3 innings, all at the Double-A level. During that span, Tyler posted a solid 3.67 ERA but struggled mightily with his control, walking 44 batters while striking out 52. Because of this, Tyler posted an ugly 1.63 WHIP despite allowing just 56 hits in those 61.1 IP.\nCastillo was not sensational in 2006, but he was a tremendous upgrade both offensively and defensively from anything the Twins have had at second base for the past several years. His batting line of .296/.358/.370 was right around his career averages (.293/.369/.358). While his patience was a little disappointing early in the season, he came around near the end and finished with a nearly even strikeout-to-walk ratio (58:56). Castillo also stole 25 bases and led the major leagues in infield hits, taking advantage of the Metrodome surface.\nEven if you're not a huge fan of Castillo (which I wouldn't say I am), you have to like the way this trade has turned out for the Twins so far. It's too early to stick a fork in Bowyer, but his career prospects have definitely taken a major hit. As for Tyler, it's tough to visualize a guy who posted a 6.46 BB/9 IP in Double-A as having a particularly bright future.\nJ.C. Romero to Los Angeles Angels for Alexi Casilla\nThis was a more traditional Ryan trade, both in its make-up and in its results. Ryan traded a guy whose value was probably higher than it should have been for a prospect who was likely undervalued in his respective organization, and the result is what appears to have been a major steal.\nAlthough he posted good numbers in 2005, it was fairly clear to anyone who watched the Twins that Romero had some serious issues. On the exterior, his 3.47 ERA and .235 BAA from that season looked pretty nice, but when you looked deeper there were some troubling peripherals. Romero's numbers were far worse in the second half of the season (4.94 ERA) than the first (2.43). He struggled greatly with his control against right-handed hitters (20 K, 29 BB). Also, it is well-documented that he was horrible at holding inherited runners on base.\nThis year, those problems ballooned for Romero in Los Angeles, and the results were disastrous: a 6.70 ERA, .298/.382/.450 opponents' line, and a 31:28 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 48.1 IP. Righties hit .382/.455/.578 against Romero.\nOver in the Twins' organization, Casilla turned in an extremely impressive 2006 campaign. After hitting .331/.390/.406 over 78 games at Ft. Myers, he was bumped up to New Britain, where he hit .294/.375/.382 in 45 games. Between both levels, Casilla stole 50 bases while being caught just 10 times, and posted a solid 56:48 strikeout-to-walk ratio. His performance impressed the Twins so much that he earned a September call-up, during which he picked up one hit and two walks in six plate appearances.\nCasilla has turned himself into the Twins' top infield prospect, while Romero has turned himself into a sub par LOOGY with no ability to get right-handed hitters out. On top of all that, the guy who the Twins signed to replace Romero as their lefty specialist, Dennys Reyes, was arguably the best southpaw reliever in baseball. Another great trade for the Twins.\nKyle Lohse to Cincinnati for Zac Ward\nRyan resisted the urge to trade Lohse at the deadline in 2005, and then did so again during the last offseason. These turned out to be grave mistakes. Lohse was absolutely horrible early in the season for the Twins, posting a 7.07 ERA before they traded him in late July. He pitched pretty well upon arriving in Cininnati, posting a 2.78 ERA in August, but then fell back into his old habits and finished up the season with a terrible 6.46 ERA in September. For the season as a whole, Lohse posted a career-worst 5.83 ERA and opponents hit .298/.358/.444 against him. Those numbers are not good, but they're not really off-line with his career norms (.285/.342/.453). Lohse just generally seems to get hit hard, which leads me to believe his prognosis in Cincinnati is not great. He is a pain in the clubhouse and he earns more money than he deserves, and now he's Wayne Krivsky's problem to deal with.\nFor his part, Ward struggled for the Twins, going 1-4 with a 5.93 ERA in six starts for Beloit. That's pretty disappointing, particularly since he had pitched so well (7-0, 2.29 ERA. 0.97 WHIP) for Cincinnati's Low-A affiliate in the first chunk of the season. Ward will turn 23 in January, which is starting to get a little old for a Low-A ball prospect. It's hard to predict what will become of him, but at the very least this trade was nice because it got Lohse's salary off the books.\nStill, it's saddening to think about how much more Ryan could have gotten in return for him had he traded him earlier.\nJuan Castro to Cincinnati for Brandon Roberts\nI would not rank Castro as one of the better backup shortstops in the league, so the fact that he started for the Twins for almost three months is an embarrassing blemish on the judgment records of Ryan and Ron Gardenhire. Nonetheless, they eventually woke up and yanked him in the middle of June, around the same time they cut bait on the Tony Batista experiment. Those two players were replaced by Jason Bartlett and Nick Punto, and the rest, as they say, is history.\nSince Castro was hitting .231/.258/.308 and nearing his 34th birthday when they traded him, anything the Twins got in return was going to be a bonus. That bonus turned out to be Roberts, a 21-year-old speedy outfielder playing for Sarasota, the Reds' High-A affiliate. When he came to the Twins organization, Roberts was hitting an unimpressive .267/.325/.308 in 60 games on the season. Once he started playing in Ft. Myers, however, Roberts broke out, hitting .316/.370/.396 in his 71 games there. Like Casilla, Roberts can terrorize on the basepaths; he stole 50 bases between Sarasota and Ft. Myers while being caught just 14 times. He doesn't have much discipline or power, but the high batting average and the stolen bases are encouraging for a young kid who is a versatile defender.\nCastro did finish the year pretty well for the Reds, hitting .284/.320/.421 in 95 at-bats in Cincinnati, but I think it's safe to say the Twins didn't (and won't) miss him that much. This was another very good trade.\nI decided not to review the Adam Harben-for-Phil Nevin trade in this article, because it's simply too early to make any judgments. If the Twins release Nevin during the offseason and Harben goes on to have a decent career, it will probably end up as a bad trade. On the flip side, the Twins might bring back Nevin for next year, and if Harben continues to pitch like he did this year for the rest of his career, the trade will look pretty nice.\nThe analysis of these trades is still early and subject to change, but at this point it's looking like another successful season for Terry Ryan in the trade department. I'll certainly be interested to see what he can pull off in the coming months.\nPosted by Nick N. at 10/30/2006 12:00:00 AM 6 comments\nIt appears that after all the rhetoric the Twins office could spit out to explain or approach the situation otherwise, Francisco Liriano will probably have surgery of some sort on his elbow in the next week. This comes as no surprise to me, as he once again rested and tried to restrengthen his elbow, returned to the mound, and quickly found the pain reappearing.\nNow, as I've written on here before, the program the Twins have Liriano on as a non-surgical option doesn't appear to even consider changing his mechanics or stopping him from throwing his slider, which puts the most violent stress on his elbow. If that's true, the Twins were very foolish in their approach.\nOf course, it's pretty hard to know whether or not that happened. What we do know is despite the Twins repeating over and over again that the young pitcher and potential ace didn't need any surgery, he probably needs it now anyways. In the article I have linked, La Velle E. Neal writes that Liriano could have either an \"exploratory operation\" or Tommy-John surgery.\nI have to believe the \"exploratory operation\" idea is unlikely and only comes up as a more positive alternative. If Liriano has Tommy-John surgery, he is all but out for next year. Much like micro-fracture surgery, Tommy-John has a long recovery time and there is no reason to expect him back for 2007.\nI have to agree with Aaron Gleeman here. He thinks that this is not such a bad, not because losing him won't be a serious detriment to our chances in 2007, but because there is no point in taking more chances with a young pitcher with so much potential and an exciting future. Often, when pitchers have Tommy-John, they come back much stronger and sometimes even have a little extra on their fastball.\nIf you want proof, look no furter than last night's Game Three starter and winner, Chris Carpenter. Carpenter returned from the surgery, was throwing 96 MPH with his outstanding curve, and after returning with a good 2004 season, he won a Cy Young Award in 2005. In 645 1/3 innings since returning from surgery, he has allowed only 567 hits while strike out 543 and walking only 132. In that time, he is 51-18 with a 3.10 ERA.\nObviously, those are fairly impressive numbers. Carpenter is a good example of Tommy-John gone right. Joe Mays, for instance, is a guy who had the surgery and turned into a pumpkin immediately after. Of course, he was Joe Mays and after the surgery, he was still Joe Mays. Unfortunately, surgery wasn't going to change the fact that he was really never that good. Carpenter, on the other hand, was a 1st round pick who never quite found his stride with the Blue Jays, had surgery, and has now been the Cardinals ace for the last three seasons. Lirano is in the same boat. It's not hard to see that he has loads of talent and a live arm, but now it's a matter of protecting that arm.\nCould Liriano follow the same path as Carpenter? I don't see why not, but I think its clear that the Twins need to stop messing around and get serious. The faster he has surgery, the better. He should have had it months ago, when he was first injured, but that's hindsight and the Twins weren't ready to lose his season. Now is the time to do the right thing for Liriano and the future of the team. Let's not forget, after all, that Johan Santana isn't too shabby either.\nPosted by Nick M. at 10/25/2006 08:20:00 AM 7 comments\nGardenhire's Extension\nI'm a little late in writing about this, but the Twins announced last week that they have rewarded manager Ron Gardenhire for another successful season by handing him a two-year contract extension that will keep him as the manager in Minnesota through the 2009 season. They also extended his coaching staff through 2008.\nThe decision is not in any way surprising. Carl Pohlad has stated in the past that Gardenhire will be the team's manager as long as he is the owner. And, if you look at his track record, it's hard to argue that Gardy has not done at least a satisfactory job during his time as manager. He has now managed the team for five seasons; the Twins have posted a winning record in each of those seasons and have made the playoffs in four of them.\nNow, one could argue that Gardenhire was gifted with a talent-laden roster when he stepped in, or that three of the division titles he won came in very weak divisions. Nevertheless, it's clear that he's been doing a lot of things right and the team has responded to him by playing very well.\nThe Twins' lack of postseason success during Gardenhire's tenure is another matter. In their last three playoff series, they have won a total of two games. Still, I would argue that only one of the Twins' postseason failures in the past five years can truly by attributed to Gardenhire in any significant way (his terrible decisions in Game 2 of the 2004 series completely turned the tide of the series for the worst). In 2002, the Twins unexpectedly advanced past the Athletics in the first round before running into a red-hot Angels team in the ALCS that would eventually win the World Series. In 2003, the Twins were simply overmatched by a loaded Yankees team. This year, the Twins came out and gave an absolute dud of a performance and never stood a chance against the A's. It's hard to pin a peformance like that on the manager when the players just can't seem to do anything.\nI am fine with Gardenhire being the manager of this team for the foreseeable future. He still does some things that frustrate me and I know that a lot of people out there still aren't big fans of him, but in my opinion 2006 was his most impressive season as a manager. He handled the bullpen extremely well, he kept the players positive after a horrendous start to the season, and he eventually made the changes that needed to be made even if he was a little late to do so.\nI look forward to watching his team battle their tails off next season.\nLooking Forward: Ryan's Problematic Approach?\nAs mentioned previously on this page, Terry Ryan did a recent interview on KFAN. More recently, Ryan spoke with LaVelle Neal of the Star Trib. In that article, Ryan once again suggested some things that should make fans a little uncomfortable. For one, he never really addressed any of the major offesason issues.\nHe showed not rush to get multi-year contracts done for certain key players, ignored the situations with Rondell White and Carlos Silva and seemed content with the team the way it is. The problem is we've seen this minimalist approach before: last year.\nAs we all know so well, keeping Kyle Lohse around and signing fringe free-agents didn't work out particularly well for the Twins. What did work out with the youth and the problem I see is that all this ambiguity leads me to think that Ryan is heading down the same slippery slope.\nTrusting the youth is the biggest thing the Twins can do this offseason. That includes, obviously, offering important long-term contracts to the likes of Michael Cuddyer, Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer and maybe extending Johan's. It also means that the Twins should better trust their other youth. I don't think its as if Nick Punto or Jason Bartlett are losing their positions, but other things are troubling.\nRyan seems to like the idea of keeping Silva around more than signing a decent free agent veteran pitcher, a la Jeff Suppan (who is doing great in the playoffs THIS year), or entrusting young pitchers like Matt Garza and maybe Glen Perkins or even the much beloved J.D. Durbin. The clear point is that even if Suppan or Garza posts an ERA near 5.00, it will be better than anything Silva can give is.\nFor whatever reason, Ryan is reluctant to take these kind of risks and that makes it very frustrating as a fan. Taking the lumps is how teams like the Twins are successful. Johan wasn't a great pitcher right away. He didn't even strike out very many in his first two years. Justin Morneau struggled mightidly in 2005. Michael Cuddyer didn't do much at all from 2002-2005, but he was great this year.\nWhat's the point? The Twins stuck with these guys (Cuddyer's case is different, since he was on the team, but not given a very stable job until now) but, whether it is Ryan's doing or Gardy's or both, they want to choose awful veterans or others over the best candidates. If such a philosophy continues, the Twins may run into similar problems next year.\nAll this leads to the bottom line: Keeping Carlos Silva is ridiculous, but repeating mistakes you made the year before that almost kept your team out of the playoffs is far worse.\nPosted by Nick M. at 10/20/2006 08:31:00 PM 2 comments\nThere's not a whole lot to write about in Twins-land, so I thought I'd just take a brief moment to write out some thoughts on the playoff picture. Last year, when the White Sox picked up steam in the ALDS and rolled through the postseason to a World Series victory, it seemed like momentum was the most important thing imaginable when it came to the playoffs.\nOne year later, that couldn't appear to be further from the truth. The Athletics whooped the Twins in a three-game sweep in which the A's played nearly flawless baseball, and then went on to the ALCS where they made countless mistakes and were pummeled in four-game sweep by the Tigers. Those Tigers? They couldn't win a single game at home against the Royals to clinch the division at the end of the season, which led one to believe this team would make a quick exit from the playoffs. Instead, they cruised past the Yankees and A's and are now enjoying a full week of rest before they open Game One of the World Series at home. The Cardinals had a similar path to the playoffs. They ended the season by nearly blowing a large lead in the NL Central to the Astros, and they staggered into the playoffs. Now, they're one game away from beating out the heavily-favored Mets for a trip to the World Series.\nNow, the Tigers have won seven straight games and neither the Cards nor Mets have looked great, so momentum would seem to indicate that it will be a pretty easy World Series victory for Detroit. Then again, momentum doesn't seem to mean a whole lot this year, so I'm not going to make a bet one way or the other.\nOur Regular Season Awards\nWe'll start this post off on a sad note. Just yesterday on this blog, we mentioned Cory Lidle as a potential offseason target for the Twins. Tragically, he died yesterday when his plane crashed into a high-rise apartment building in New York. This is a shocking event, seeing as how we were watching Lidle pitch a playoff game less than a week ago. We send our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.\nNow, on to the post...\nBeing the end of the season for us Twins fans, there are a few things left to cover before we go \"dormant\" for the winter. For one, we'd like to present and briefly explain each of our choices for regular season awards. Let's get it started.\nNick Mosvick's Choice: Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins\nMauer not only had a season for the history books, being the first catcher ever to lead the AL or the majors in batting average. Remember, he was an incredible .360/.497/.544 hitter with RISP. Justin Morneau was great, but Mauer gets my vote. Just a great season. As for Derek Jeter, his \"leader\" role is vastly overrated, and he simply wasn't significantly better than Mauer offensively this year, while Mauer plays a more important position and is a superior defensive player to Jeter.\nNick Nelson's Choice: Johan Santana, Minnesota Twins\nTo me, none of the offensive candidates for MVP had overwhelming seasons. I don't think any single player was more influential to his team's success than Santana. Just take a look at the Twins' record in his starts compared to everybody else's. He literally pushed them from decent a decent team to a playoff team single-handedly. He was also the best pitcher in baseball, beyond a shadow of a doubt.\nNick Mosvick's Choice: Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals\nIf you want to understand how sad the Cardinals are outside of Pujols and Chris Carpenter, just watch the playoffs sometime. Or, heck, just look back at this years highlights. No one can convince me that a .331/.431/.671 49 HRs 137 RBI doesn't merit the MVP, even with Ryan Howard's season. Howard was great, but his Phillies, for one, didn't get to the playoffs, and two, had a couple very nice offensive players in Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins to support him. Pujols was just as good power-wise at the beginning of the season as Howard was in the second half. Sorry, but its not like the first half doesn't count. And Pujols was amazing down the stretch, hitting .368 with 9 homers and 27 RBI in September as the Cardinals barely inched their way into the playoffs. He also hit .397/.535/.802 with RISP. For the record, Howard hit .256 in such situations. Plus, Pujols has the upper hand in defense. Have to give it to the great Prince Albert.\nNick Nelson's Choice: Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals\nWhat more can I say? Howard had a great season, but you have to look past the power numbers. I don't really buy into the \"his team didn't make the playoffs so he can't be the most valuable player\" argument (no single player will ever carry his team to the playoffs by himself, this is a team game), but Pujols came about as close as you can to carrying this offense to the postseason. He's the best hitter in the game, bar-none.\nNick Mosvick's Choice: Johan Santana, Minnesota Twins\nThere is nothing \"homerish\" about this pick. What can I say? Major League pitching Triple Crown winner. Number one in the bigs in wins, strikeouts, ERA, WHIP, and opponent OPS. Number one in the AL in batting average against and innings pitched. Second in the AL in winning percentage. Simply the best, most dominant pitcher in bigs. No question about this one.\nSantana is my MVP, so obviously he's my Cy Young winner. As I said above, Santana was much indisputably the best pitcher in all of baseball. He was dominant, he won games, he played great defense, and he was a good teammate. No other pitcher can even build a legitimate argument against Santana in the AL.\nNick Mosvick's Choice: Brandon Webb, Arizona Diamondbacks\nThis race is the exact opposite of the AL Cy Young \"race.\" No one in the NL won 17 games, which doesn't happen too often. Needless to say, there are many legitimate candidates, with Webb, Chris Carpenter, Roy Oswalt, and some say even Trevor Hoffman. To me, Webb has to be the Cy Young, as he is the best overall starting pitcher this year of the candidates. He was tied for first in wins and shutouts (three, tied with Carpenter), was second in innings pitched, WHIP, and complete games, third in ERA, ninth in BAA, and 10th in strikeouts. It's a crapshoot here, though, so I could change my mind tommorow.\nNick Nelson's Choice: Chris Carpenter, St. Louis Cardinals\nWhile Pujols carried the Cards' offense, it was was Carpenter who carried the rotation. Carpenter ranked second in the National League in ERA with a great 3.09, posted an NL-best 1.07 WHIP (next-best was Webb at 1.13) and struck out 184 in 221.2 IP.\nNick Mosvick's Choice: Justin Verlander, Detroit Tigers\nVerlander looked pretty good after four months, before he went 4-5 in August and September, posting 6.83 and 4.82 ERAs in those months. Overall, he only was in the top 10 for three AL pitching categories: seventh in ERA (3.63), 10th in winning percentage, and tied for fourth with 17 wins. He didn't strike out too many and his 1.33 WHIP is nothing phenomenal. I would give the award to our own Francisco Liriano, but the disparity in innings (186 to 121) is important, as Verlander was key to great lead the Tigers built up early in the year. I have to give the edge to Verlander.\nNick Nelson's Choice: Francisco Liriano, Minnesota Twins\nAt this point, you've probably got me labeled as a bona fide homer. I had a Twin as my selection for both AL MVP and Cy Young, and now I take another Twin for Rookie of the Year. Well, sue me. As far as I'm concerned, Liriano was the best rookie in the American League this year, regardless of the fact that his season was cut short due to injury. Liriano was not just the best rookie pitcher in baseball when he pitched this season, he was the best PITCHER, period. 121 innings is not exactly a small sample size either. Liriano may have thrown 60 fewer innings than Verlander, but the degree to which he was better than Verlander over that period is enough for me to say he had a better year.\nNick Mosvick's Choice: Ryan Zimmerman, Washington Nationals\nA 22-year old third baseman playing phenomenal defense, hitting 20 home runs, driving in 110 RBI, bagging 47 doubles, all in an extreme pitcher's park, is pretty phenomenal. Zimmerman was incredibly clutch this year, hitting .302/.409/.531 in \"close and late\" situations and hitt ing .323/.397/.515 with RISP. There were a lot of great candidates for Rookie of the Year in the NL this season, however, Zimmerman is the standout to me, having both an impressive offensive debut and playing great defense at a key position.\nNick Nelson's Choice: Hanley Ramirez, Florida Marlins\nIt's hard to argue with Zimmerman, but I've got to go with Ramirez, who had an excellent season for the Marlins and certainly made the Red Sox look silly for trading him. Ramirez was an outstanding top-of-the-order hitter, batting .292 with a .353 on-base percentage while and swiping 51 bases and scoring 119 times. He also flashed some impressive power by banging 17 homers, 46 doubles and 11 triples.\nNick Mosvick: Jim Leyland, Detroit Tigers\nRon Gardenhire did a pretty good job this year, but I still have some issues with his management style and it's necessary to remember the first two awful months and his desire to play guys like Juan Castro. Leyland, on the other hand, came to a Tigers team that has dwelled in the cellar for over a decade and had lost 119 games in 2003. Leyland quickly changed that clubhouse culture and the Tigers experienced the biggest turnaround between last year and this year of any big league team. (The Mets had a pretty big one, too.) Needless to say, he's done an impressive job and deserves this award.\nNick Nelson's Choice: Jim Leyland, Detroit Tigers\nI toyed with the notion of picking Gardy for this award, especially because of the Tigers' collapse down the stretch, but I still think Leyland did a stellar job and is deserving of recognition. As Mr. Mosvick noted, the Tigers have pretty much been a laughing stock over the last several years, and Leyland's ability to maximize the talent on the roster and push the Tigers to a playoff berth is truly impressive.\nNick Mosvick's Choice: Willie Randolph, New York Mets\nIf I give Leyland the award, I have to give Randolph the award for what can be seen as a similar job. Randolph certainly would seem to have an easy job, with many superstars (Carlos Delgado, Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine, Billy Wagner, Carlos Beltran) and budding superstars (David Wright, Jose Reyes) on the team. But a 14-game improvement on last year's 83-79 is still impressive. The Mets were by far the best team in the NL this year.\nNick Nelson's Choice: Joe Girardi, Florida Marlins\nI respect what Randolph did this season, but I simply can't give him too much credit for being able to carry such a loaded roster to the playoffs. The National League was such a joke this year that it would have been an embarrassment if the Mets didn't finish with the best record in the league. Girardi, meanwhile, coached a team that no one expected to win more than 60 games into playoff contention for a large portion of the season. It's a shame he ran into issues with the ownership. Whatever team lands Girardi as their skipper in the offseason will be very fortunate to do so. I think he's a hell of a manager.\nHump Day Rundown\nWith the Twins season coming to an end, the everyday posting on this blog will probably seize fairly soon, since during the offseason there's generally just not all that much to talk about and, hey, we have lives! With that said, this site will continue to be updated frequently throughout the winter months, analyzing roster moves and other baseball-related tomfoolery. We hope you'll check in regularly over the next four months even though the Twins will be resting up and preparing for the 2007 campaign.\nWith that little programming note out of the way, on to some news and notes.\n* The hottest news item right now is obviously the Twins' decision to pick up Torii Hunter's $12 million option for 2007.\nThis move is by no means a surprise. It's certainly something that I've been advocating. Hunter had a productive season and towards the end of the year (despite his blunder in Game 2) he started to show increased mobility in center field. A Star Tribune article on the matter noted that the Twins still might try and negotiate a multi-year contract for Hunter beyond next season, but I truly hope that is not the case. Hunter is a player who has always depended greatly on his speed and athleticism, and considering that he'll be turning 32 next season and has a foot injury that looks like it will be a recurring issue, I think keeping him past the 2007 season would be a grave mistake. While $12 million is a lot of money (too much for a #6 hitter) and will be damaging towards what the Twins are able to accomplish this offseason, they will be totally off the hook after next season.\nAs it stands, locking Hunter up for next year gives the Twins the opportunity to trade him around mid-season (which Terry Ryan almost certainly won't do unless they are out of contention), and also prevents them from having to worry about their center field issue for the time being. Keeping Hunter will give the Twins another year to try and figure out what they have in Denard Span, a 22-year-old light-hitting speedster who is considered by some (though not me) to be the center fielder of the future.\n* Apparently Terry Ryan did an interview on KFAN radio yesterday morning. I didn't have a chance to hear it, so I'm just going off hearsay, but my buddy listened and these are the impressions that he passed on to me:\n1) Ryan feels that pitching is the top priority in the offseason because he doesn't know what will happen with Francisco Liriano and he doesn't know what to expect from the young guys (Garza, Bonser, Perkins) next season.\n2) Ryan was satisfied with the offense this season because they scored over 800 runs, which was the benchmark the organization had set as a target for success.\n3) Ryan is leaning towards picking up Carlos Silva's 2007 option.\nI was not pleased to hear these things. Making the pitching staff a high priority makes some sense--if indeed Liriano is not ready to go for next year, they will be a hole or two to fill behind Santana, Bonser, Garza, and possibly Perkins. Spending a few million on a Jeff Suppan/Cory Lidle type for the middle of the rotation would not be a bad idea.\nHowever, his assertion that the offense does not need work because they scored 800 runs is irritating. Granted, the Twins did fall right in the middle of the pack in terms of runs scored (they ranked 13th out of 30 MLB teams), and they have good enough pitching that's really all they need to succeed. However, the number of runs scored does not tell the whole story with this team. As it is currently constructed, the Twins lineup is extremely inconsistent and slump-prone, as illustrated by the fact that they were shutout 15 times this season, as well as by their abysmal performance in the playoffs.\nAlso, while it's reasonable to expect similar or perhaps even slightly improved production from young breakout players like Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Jason Bartlett and Michael Cuddyer, there are numerous question marks at key positions. One can't simply expect Nick Punto and Jason Tyner to both hit around .300 again. Jason Kubel is a huge question mark after an awful 2006 campaign marred by knee issues. It's unclear whether or not Rondell White will be back next season, but if he is, there's no way of knowing what to expect from him. Luis Castillo is now 31 and if his knees get even worse next season, he'll lose a lot of his value. Simply put, the offense should be a more immediate priority than Ryan seemingly made it sound.\nFinally, regarding the statement that Ryan is considering picking up Silva's '07 option, which would cost the Twins $4.325 million. This strikes me as a tremendously bad idea. If Silva wasn't the worst starting pitcher in all of baseball this season, he was at least among the bottom three. To pay him that kind of money would be nothing short of a rip-off, and while the Twins continue to claim that they can work on Silva's mechanics and get him back into 2005-form, I am not inclined to believe it anymore.\n* As a final note, I wanted to comment on something I read in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated. Tom Verducci is the top baseball writer for SI, and I respect him quite a bit and think he's a tremendously talented writer. With that said, I tend to think he latches onto the public opinion too frequently and as a result his articles occasionally seem kind of mindless and amateur.\nA few weeks ago, he wrote a cover article that was very critical of Alex Rodriguez, essentially labeling his 2006 season in New York a failure and claiming he has to prove himself in pinstripes. This article only added to a media ravaging of Rodriguez, who took a ton of flack in New York this year for a few offensive slumps and some defensive struggles. Rodriguez has nothing to prove. He is playing a position that is not his natural position, one which he did not ask to play. And while it might have been a down year offensively by his standards, .290/.392/.523 with 35 home runs and 121 RBI is absolutely excellent production. Verducci's article attacking Rodriguez was a hack-job in my mind.\nAnyway, that's not the main point of this rant. In the most recent issue of Sports Illustrated, Verducci names his All-Time All Star Team. The roster features the names you'd expect: Warren Spahn, Lou Gehrig, Lefty Grove, Dennis Eckersley, Yogi Berra, Jackie Robinson, Cy Young, Roger Clemens, Joe DiMaggio, Mariano Rivera, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Honus Wagner, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Sandy Koufax, Rogers Hornsby, Johnny Bench, A-Rod and Mike Schmidt.\nOne name is glaringly absent, of course, and that's Barry Bonds. Verducci addresses the issue in his article by stating that, \"because of how his late-career production has been linked to the use of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs, he has numbers that are not to be believed.\"\nNow, I'm no Bonds enthusiast, and in my heart I do believe that he's used PEDs. However, this has never been proven. Bonds tested positive for steroids the same number of times as Rodriguez or Rivera, or anyone else on the list for that matter, so the fact that Verducci uses it as a mark against him is absurd. I've heard rumors about old-time baseball players using horse steroids to bulk up, but of course since there was obviously no type of testing back then we'll never have any way of knowing. The point is that until Bonds is actually proven of cheating, he is no more guilty than anyone else on the list and as such he certainly belongs.\nUpdate: Hunter Option Picked Up\nThe Associated Press and the Star Tribune have reported that Torii Hunter's $12 million option for the 2007 season has been picked up. In all honesty, I felt like I would have been happy either way. That is, I would have understood if they let him go, since Hunter is not really a $12 million player the way Johan Santana is and we may see a potentially huge decline in the next year or so.\nAt the same time, no logical repclaments exist for the Twins, in their system or in free agency, and all reports suggest Hunter to be a great clubhouse guy and integral to their chemistry. In the wake of Derek Jeter's classless act of non-leadership with the A-Rod affair, I have recently questioned the idea of \"clubhouse\" leader, but Hunter is certainly an important guy, but having Santana, Mike Redmond, and others in that clubhouse is probably just as important.\nAll things being equal, I'm fairly happy with the decision. Hunter is a true Twin who does play the game hard, even if that results in catostrophic events like that of Game Two, and his heart is always in the game and with his teammates. With Radke gone next year, we need guys like that just because the Twins can't be as competitive if they don't show the same fire they did from June on this year.\nFinal Pitching Grades\nAs you saw yesterday, Nick Nelson handed out a report on the offense, giving them an admittedly low C+ overall. I'll be taking a look at the pitching staff today, which would seem to be a high point for the Twins. The rules are the same as yesterday. Kyle Lohse will not be covered since he was not with the team at the end of the year.\n233.2 IP, 19-6, 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 245 K/47 BB, .216 BAA\nThere are no qualms about it. Johan is the obvious American League Cy Young Award winner for what should be the third year in a row. He won the pitching Triple Crown for the majors, a feat not accomplished since Dwight Gooden did it in 1985. Needless to say, it's quite impressive. Santana led the bigs in wins, ERA, strikeouts, WHIP, and opponent OPS, while leading the AL in innings pitched and BAA.\nThere isn't much that needs to be said about Johan. He's a phenomenal pitcher and he didn't slow down at all this year. I don't know that he was MVP (though the argument can be made and well) but it's clear how important he was in getting the Twins to the playoffs. Every year, he is great in the second half and that didn't change.\nBoof Bonser #26\n100 IP, 7-6, 4.22 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 84 K/24 BB, .267 BAA\nBonser made 18 starts for the Twins this year, starting off quite disastrously. In his seven pre-All Star break starts, Bonser was 2-2 with a 5.30 while in his 11 post-All Star break starts, he went 5-4 with a 3.62 ERA, looking his best in a 4-1 September in which he posted a 2.63 ERA.\nBoof wasn't outstanding over the year, but he showed a lot of potential, didn't walk too many hitters (2.25/9 innings is pretty good for a young guy), struck out plenty, and showed fierce determination. He was an important player in the Twins making it to the postseason, as he stepped into the rotation absent of Brad Radke and gave them many good starts.\nHe's a key to the future and did well in his postseason start.\nBrad Radke #22\n162.2 IP, 12-9, 4.32 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 83 K/32 BB, .307 BAA\nThe .307 BAA is obviously ugly and he gave up way too many hits, but to get a 4.32 ERA despite that, you need some luck and a lot of guile. Considering the guy made 28 starts with a broken shoulder, an ERA below 6 is a miracle.\nWhat can be said about his performance, outside of the miracle all Twins fans experienced this year? His year started out terribly; he had a 2-3 record and an 8.89 ERA in April followed by a still-ugly May with a 2-3 record and a 5.60 ERA. After that, Brad settled down. He went 3-1 with a 2.09 ERA in June, when the Twins great streak began, and did just as well up until he broke down in August, going 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA.\nWhatever is said about Radke, his year was inspiring and a blast to watch. I can't give him a bad grade, because anyone who has the guts, guile, and honor to do what he did is sports hero.\n121 IP, 12-3, 2.16 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 144 K/32 BB, .205 BAA\nDespite the shortened season he had, Liriano was phenomenal for the Twins this year and did more than enough to help them to the playoffs. There are various ways to explain how good he was. He was, for one, a strikeout pitcher who induced a 2.10 GB/FB ratio and led the team with 17 GIDP. He also held opponents to a .564 OPS, thanks largely to the pathetic .306 slugging percentage managed against him, as he gave up only nine home runs.\nDuring July, Liriano was at his best, going 4-1 with a 1.51 ERA, a .154 BAA, and 55 strikeouts in 41 2/3 innings during a month in which Santana struggled but the Twins continued streaking. Of course, Liriano injured his elbow and now is out indefinitely. He apparently doesn't need surgery, but he probably needs to at least tinker with, if not revamp, the violent pitching motion he uses, especially with his slider. Nevertheless, a rookie campaign for the ages.\n180.1 IP, 11-15, 5.94 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 70 K/32 BB, .324 BAA\nThere are many reasons to believe Silva was the anti-Santana. That is, the worst starter in the league. For instance, while Santana led the league in wins, Silva was second in losses. Also, while Santana was first in strikeouts, Silva was dead last. ERA? Johan led, while Silva was behind Joel Pineiro, who was moved to the bullpen, for last in the AL. Home runs allowed? Well, Johan allowed 24 himself, but Silva gave up 38 in 50 less innings. Opponent OPS? Santana led, while Silva was dead last at .892. In fact, the .538 slugging percentage he gave up to opponents was almost 30 points above the next worst, Mark Buehrle.\nQuality starts? Johan was first with 24, while Silva was tied for second-to-last with 10, only behind Rodrigo Lopez. So, when you're quite possibly the worst starter in the league, you probably didn't do too well for your team. Silva fits that category. For some reason, he continued to get starts, while potentially better options sat on the sidelines in Matt Guerrier, Scott Baker, or even Glen Perkins.\nSo I admit that it may be far-fetched, but Silva was clearly a better fit in the bullpen, having Guerrier's role as a long-reliever, as he is more effective in 2-3 innings spurts than in an actually start. The team would have been better suited with Guerrier giving 4-5 innings, Silva being in reserve for clean-up and the bullpen behind them. Needless to say, Silva's option shouldn't be picked up.\n50 IP, 3-6, 5.76 ERA, 1.70 WHIP, 38 K/23 BB, .301 BAA\nGarza is a bright spot. His 5.76 ERA isn't anything great, and certainly he had a few awful starts, walked too many, gave up too many hits, and didn't strike enough hitters out. However, he had a few starts that were quite good and he flashed good stuff. He reminds me somewhat of Liriano from 2005 and I think he'll be fine next year.\nScott Baker #30\n83.1 IP, 5-8, 6.37 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 62 K/16 BB, .324 BAA\nAfter a promising 2005 campaign in which he looked polished and big league-ready, Baker was a disaster in 2006. Aside from a couple good starts against the Yankees, he was absolutely awful all season. His strikeout numbers were okay and he didn't walk too many, but he gave up too many hits and too many home runs (17), struggling to keep the ball down in the zone. Suddenly, Baker's future seems very much in question. Hopefully he can rebound in 2007.\n68.1 IP, 7-0, 1.58 ERA, 36 saves, 0.79 WHIP, 95 K/16 BB, .158 BAA\nIn more ways than one, Nathan had the best Twins relief season ever. For one, the 5.94 K/BB is fantastic, but looks even better when you consider that Nathan had a 12.51 K/9 ratio. Also, he allowed only a .452 OPS to opposing hitters. Most impressive is that he blew only two saves all year, and did not record one loss.\nThe only problem with Joe is one not of his own doing. His manager has one major issue with his bullpen and that is Nathan's criminal underusage. 68 1/3 innings is not enough from your best reliever and operating under the \"save or no Joe\" rule is ridiculous. Otherwise, the man is incredible.\nJuan Rincon #39\n74.1 IP, 3-1, 2.91 ERA, 1 SV, 1.35 WHIP, 65 K/24 BB, .270 BAA\nConsidering how good Rincon has been in the past, this was a down year. In the previous two seasons, he had posted BAAs of .181 and .224. However, all of this is part of a general downward trend. Along with his BAA going up, his K/BB ratio has gone down (3.31 to 2.71) and his K/9 ratio has decreased significantly (11.63 in 2004, 7.87 this year), though at least his GB/FB has gone up, from 1.15 in 2004 to 1.79 this year.\nMost distressing are Rincon's August (5.23 ERA, 16 hits in 10 1/3 innings) and September (4.76 ERA, 15 hits in 11 1/3 innings) numbers, along with his complete ineffectiveness against righties. Right-handers hit .303/.366/.406 off Rincon this year, compared to .228/.297/.278 last year. All of that leads me to believe that Rincon is going downhill fast. He is no longer a set-up man or closer of the future and if he is kept around, he needs to be used either against lefties or in a sixth or seventh inning role.\nCrain's numbers don't look like anything special, but the splits tell a different story. Before the break, Crain had a 5.03 ERA and had allowed 51 hits in 39 1/3 innings for a .305 BAA. After, he had a 1.93 ERA and a .207 BAA, with a great September where he posted only a 0.75 ERA.\nAlthough Crain's strikeout rate went way up this year, from 2.82 to 7.04 K/9, his GB/FB went up even more, from 1.18 to 2.09, though he got far less GIDP (14 in 2005, 3 this year). His major issue was the \"J.C. Romero\" problem, as 13 of 34 inherited runners, or 38.2%, were allowed to score. If nothing else, it is a product of Gardenhire's desire to bring Crain into tight situations that Crain doesn't seem to handle well. He didn't have a bad year, but it wasn't great either.\nPat Neshek #17\n37 IP, 4-2, 2.19 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, 53 K/6 BB, .176 BAA\nNeshek was called up in early July, just before the All-Star break, and in some ways, it felt like the Twins waited too long. He burst onto the scene, as he was practically unhittable in August, with a 0.59 ERA and only seven hits allowed in 15 1/3 innings with 24 K. He did let up a little in September, with a 4.76 ERA, and has issues with lefites who hit .244/.300/.511 off of him.\nHowever, he looks like a great weapon against righties, who struck out nearly half the time (37 K, 86 at-bats) and had a pathetic .140/.159/.221 line against Neshek. It was a great, if not short, year for him.\nDennys Reyes #37\nWow, what a year for Reyes. The man started the year in Triple-A, never had a good season before this, but somehow found his groove with the Twins as a lefty specialist. He stopped walking so many hitters, struck out plenty, and was hard to hit, as well as consistent. Unlike Crain, he was excellent in the inherited runners department, with only 6 of 45 scoring on him.\nAlso, Reyes lived up to his lefty specialist title, as lefties hit .148/.219/205 off of Reyes. He was great before the break, with a 1.66 ERA, but incredible after it, surrendering only one earned run in 29 innings for a near-spotless 0.31 ERA. Hopefully, he can pitch like this next year.\nMatt Guerrier #54\nFor a second consecutive year, Guerrier quietly got the job done. He never really stood out as great, and his peripherals weren't impressive, but he posted a nice ERA and ate up 70 innings for the Twins. Guerrier is a valuable pitcher to have around, even if he's not spectacular by any means.\nWillie Eyre #27\n59.2 IP, 1-0, 5.31 ERA, 1.63 WHIP, 26 K/22 B, .309 BAA\nEyre did not pitch very well in his rookie year, but he was used almost exclusively in low-pressure, mop-up type situations so his performance never really hurt the team. His sole victory came in an extra-inning thriller in Chicago in August, which was certainly one of the most memorable games of the season.\nPITCHING STAFF GPA: 2.78 (B-)\nAs expected, the pitching staff grades out a little better than the position players. A couple of F grades from Silva and Baker really dragged this unit down, but the top-notch grades from young players like Liriano, Bonser and Neshek give plenty of hope for this team's future.\nFinal Position Player Grades\nBack in July, we assigned grades to each player on the Twins roster for their performances in the first half of the season. Now that the Twins' season has officially come to and end, I'll reflect on the season that each player had and give a final letter grade to each player, and at the end I will calculate a team grade-point average to get a numerical (albeit completely subjective) idea of how good the team was this year.\nToday I'll be grading out the position players, and tomorrow we'll cover the pitching staff.\nThe grades will work the same as the first time around. Based on what should be expected of a particular player based on their role with the team and the amount of time they've spent in the league, I will assign letter grades to each player's performance thus far. I will grade each player that spent a relatively significant amount of time on the Twins' roster this year (100+ at-bats). Not included are players that were not with the team at the end of the year (namely, Batista and Castro).\nC - Joe Mauer #7\n521 AB, .347/.429/.507, 13 HR, 84 RBI, 54 K / 79 BB, 8/11 SB\nWhat more could you ask for from Mauer? By posting a .347 average, he became the first catcher ever to lead the major leagues in batting. After he posted a .294 average with little power last season, I would have been happy with a slight increase in average along and a little added power. Instead, Mauer busted out with a phenomenal batting average, and he was able to increase his walk rate while decreasing his strikeout rate in the process. That strikeout-to-walk rate is simply terrific. Mauer was also very solid defensively, committing just four errors all season (.996 fielding percentage) and throwing out 38% of opposing base-stealers. He should definitely be in the Gold Glove conversation. At age 23, Mauer is the best catcher in this league, and I see plenty more top grades in his future.\n1B - Justin Morneau #33\n592 AB, .321/.375/.559, 34 HR, 130 RBI, 93 K / 53 BB, 3/6 SB\nAfter a disappointing 2005 campaign, Morneau put it all together this season and put up MVP-type numbers. He's become an elite power-hitting first baseman with a great batting average to boot. Morneau's ability to adjust to the way pitchers were throwing to him this year was extremely encouraging considering how much he was seemingly figured out last year. While his power numbers decreased a bit at the end of the year (just two home runs in September) but he continued to hit for an excellent average (.348 average in September) and he consistently drove in runs all year long.\n2B - Luis Castillo #1\n584 AB, .296/.358/.370, 3 HR, 49 RBI, 58 K / 56 BB, 25/36 SB\nI'll preface this by saying that Castillo was a very valuable player for the Twins this year. He is the best pure leadoff hitter they have had since Chuck Knoblauch, and also the best second baseman they've had since Knoblauch. He does a lot of the things you'd like to see in a leadoff hitter. He makes contact, he's a good bunter, and he sees a lot of pitches in almost every at-bat. He also played solid, rangy defense. Still, his knees were pretty clearly bothering him throughout the year and that prevented him from running hard all the time. Castillo hit right around his career averages and was about what we expected, which was solid.\n3B - Nick Punto #8\nPunto moved to third base as a temporary replacement for Tony Batista in June, and he made it his own by hitting .374 in July. Still, when you look outside of that great offensive burst, Punto was not great offensively, and by the end of the season it looked like he was reverting to some of his old nasty habits. His ability to walk more and cut down on strikeouts had been integral in his mid-season success, but in September he struck out 18 times and walked only three times. As a result, he hit just .252/.266/.294 in that month and he also did next-to-nothing in the playoffs. With that said, Punto was an absolutely phenomenal defensive third baseman and his offensive contributions in the middle months were crucial to the Twins' comeback. Certainly more than we could have possibly expected from the career utility-man coming into the season.\nSS - Jason Bartlett #18\nLike Punto, Bartlett saw some decline in his numbers at the end of the year (hit .228 in September), but by no means should that take away from what he was able to accomplish over the course of the season. Bartlett started literally every game at shortstop from his call-up to the end of the season, and during that span he hit .309 from the 9-spot in the batting order, which is great production. He was also very impressive in the field during the season, despite his struggles in the playoffs.\nLF - Rondell White #24\n337 AB, .246/.276/.365, 7 HR, 38 RBI, 54 K / 11 BB, 1/2 SB\nWhite was signed on in the offseason to become the Twins' full-time designated hitter. He had a history of being a consistently productive batter, so the thought was that he would at least give the Twins some steady offense at a position where they have sorely lacked it over the past several years. Unfortunately, White came out of the gates extremely slowly, and it carried through the first several months of the season. It wasn't all bad though. After the All-Star break, White hit .321/.354/.538 with seven homers and 23 RBI. His performance over those last few months, and in the playoffs, is almost enough to make one forgive his wretched play before the All-Star break. Unfortunately, we can't do that. He was absolutely awful for four of the six months in the season. For some reason, he hit .195 as a DH and .328 as a left fielder. I don't know what to make of that really, but it probably means White won't be playing DH next year and it's why I've listed him as left fielder here.\nCF - Torii Hunter #48\n557 AB, .278/.336/.490, 31 HR, 98 RBI, 108 K / 45 BB, 6/10 SB\nWhen Hunter went down with an injury in mid-July, it was looking like 2006 was going to shake out as a pretty mediocre season for him. He was hitting .269 without much power, and it appeared that the foot injury he sustained could keep him out of the lineup for a month or more. Instead, Hunter returned to the lineup on July 31 and went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI, the beginning of a two-month power surge that saw Torii knock 17 homers and drive in 49 runners. Hunter's patience evaporated after the All-Star break (7 BB in 250 plate appearances) but his power shot through the roof (.551 slugging percentage) and he really did carry the team in September when he hit .314 and picked up 27 RBI. Still, Hunter's defense saw a significant decline this season, and that was a major part of his value. He also showed a decline in speed on the basepaths. Whether or not Hunter will return next season (and in the seasons following) is going to be a hot topic this offseason and one we will analyze fully on this site.\nRF - Michael Cuddyer #5\n557 AB, .284/.362/.504, 24 HR, 109 RBI, 130 K / 62 BB, 6/6 SB\nThe Twins needed a right fielder. They needed a right-handed hitter to slot between Mauer and Morneau. They needed a cleanup hitter who could consistently drive in runners. Coming into the season, nobody in the Twins organization thought it was going to be Cuddyer. I certainly didn't. Much to my surprise, Cuddy had a breakout year, hitting 24 homers and 41 doubles and driving in 109 runs. Those numbers certainly do not tell the whole story. After choking in seemingly every big situation in 2005, Cuddyer became a clutch monster in 2006, delivering big late-game hits on countless occasions. He hit .313/.412/.580 with runners in scoring position and .346/.433/.561 in \"Close and Late\" situations. Perhaps most importantly, he started hitting right-handed pitching much better towards the end of the year, finishing with a solid .276/.355/.497 line against them (complemented by an outstanding .297/.376/.518 line against southpaws). Cuddyer's range in right field left something to be desired and turned in occasional boneheaded plays, but his strong arm produced 11 outfield assists.\nOF - Jason Tyner #12\nI'll say this much: Tyner performed better this season than anyone could have possibly imagined. For that reason, I'm inclined to give him a pretty good grade. That doesn't mean he was particularly productive. Tyner hit for a good batting average at .312, but it is one of the emptiest .300+ batting averages you will ever see. in 229 plate appearances, Tyner collected just seven extra-base hits and 11 walks. Basically, he was good for about three singles every 10 at-bats and nothing else. That's not too great, especially for a designated hitter (a role that Tyner unfortunately fell into towards the end of the season). He was playing in left field, Tyner provided very good defense with a surprisingly strong throwing arm; unfortunately, he was not able to utilize his defensive skill set for much of the year because Ron Gardenhire opted to trot the inferior White out there because he hit better when playing the field. In turn, this detracted quite a bit from Tyner's value. Still, he had a nice season for a 29-year-old journeyman.\nLF - Shannon Stewart #23\nStewart was having a decent season before suffering a foot injury in July that ended his season. His power outage carried over from last year... he hit home runs in both of the Twins' first two games and did not hit another one for the rest of the season. Still, he hit for a solid average while he was playing. Unfortunately, his injury prevented him from being too valuable to the Twins this season, and when you can't run well or hit for a power, a .293 batting average only goes so far.\nOF - Lew Ford #20\n234 AB, .226/.287/.312, 4 HR, 18 RBI, 43 K / 16 BB, 9/10 SB\nIt is a sad fact that Ford received 230 at-bats while posting a miserable .226 batting average. Ford's only value to the team came as a replacement defender and as a pinch-runner, two roles he excelled in. Unfortunately, they don't make up for the black hole he was offensively.\nOF - Jason Kubel #16\nThings were looking bright for Kubel after he was recalled from the minor leagues in late May. He became a regular in left field and went on a sudden power binge, at one point hitting four home runs over a five-game period. That included a dramatic walk-off grand slam against the Red Sox on June 13. Unfortunately, things went downhill after June for Kubel. He hit .231 in July and .152 in August, and finished up by collecting just one hit in nine September at-bats. It was apparent that Kubel's surgically repaired knee was still giving him trouble; he couldn't run at all and was unable to play the field. Hopefully a full off-season of rest will allow Kubel to come back strong and hit like we all know he can in 2007. 2006, despite one great month, was overall a failure.\nIF - Luis Rodriguez #38\n115 AB, .236/.303/.388, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 16 K / 14 BB, 0/0 SB\nRodriguez was the Twins' backup infielder for 2006. Little was expected of him at the plate, and he provided little. He at least showed decent patience.\nC - Mike Redmond #55\n179 AB, .341/.365/.413, 0 HR, 23 RBI, 18 K / 4 BB, 0/0 SB\nWhat more could you ask for from your backup catcher? Sure, Redmond hit for virtually no power and drew just four walks in 47 games, but he hit for a phenomenal average and played very solid defense. Plus, by all accounts, he was a tremendous clubhouse presence.\nTEAM GPA: 2.42 (C+)\nThe starting nine, with the exception of White, were terrific. The bench, outside of Redmond and Tyner, left much to be desired. C+ is a low grade for this unit, and a more accurate GPA could be calculated if I were to weight the starters' grades more heavily than the bench players. Then again, I'm lazy. Pitching grades tomorrow.\nReviewing the ALDS Debacle\nRight now, I think it's pretty clear that Twins fans don't want to think too much more about what just happened. It was awfully hard to sit and watch Brad Radke emotionally torn at the end of his career without a win to show for it. A lot of things went wrong over the course of the series and I'd like to go over those. But first, let's look at what went right:\n1) Starting Pitching\nThere is simply no way you can blame Johan Santana, Boof Bonser, or even Radke for what happened against the A's. In Santana and Bonser's cases, they pitched very well, both only giving up two runs, only to lose to the A's thank to non-existent offensive support. In the case of Radke, he wasn't paricularly great, but his defense gave him no help, he had to watch the Twins fumble away two great scoring chances early in the game. Oh yes, there is another reason: the man had a broken shoulder!\nIn total, the starting pitchers gave the Twins eighteen innings, giving up eight runs (seven earned), allowing seventeen hits, walking three, and striking out 13 (thanks mostly to Johan). That adds up to a 3.50 ERA, which is not too shabby at all. I realize the Oakland A's offense wasn't good at all during the regular season, but they certainly appeared to have picked that up in the playoffs and you have to give them credit for that.\nIn general, the staff had a 3.81 ERA for the postseason, but we will get to the bullpen later.\n2) Justin Morneau and Rondell White's bats\nIn fairness, Torii Hunter and Michael Cuddyer did decent, each having a home run and a couple of hits, but the only real offensive production came from Morneau and White. White went 5-for-12, with a home run, two RBI, and a double. He had the Twins only two-out RBI hit in the entire series, with the offense failing the other 18 times.\nMorneau didn't have a two-out RBI hit himself, but he hit the ball hard all series, didn't strike out a single time, and hit two home runs. Morneau looked great at the plate, but because of not having runners on the basepaths and the great Oakland defense, he didn't have anymore RBI than his two solo shots.\nOf course, both their defensive \"contributions\" are a little more questionable, but we'll get to that in just a moment.\n3) Nick Punto's glove\nNick Punto was absolutely putrid offensively, going 2-for-12 with no walks and numerous frustratingly unproductive at-bats in the series. If anything, he proved why it would be useful to move him to second and replace him at third with a more productive hitter.\nHowever, his defense was spectacular. In fact, he was probably the only Twin who played good defense for the whole series. His Game 1 highlight play was incredible, but he made plays like that all series. Unfortunately, his teammates didn't seem to notice and everyone else had a score of defensive issues. (Ok, to be fair, Luis Castillo and Joe Mauer didn't do anything wrong, but neither was great either.)\nAnd now, what went wrong...\nI just discussed Punto's defense, which was spectacular, and mentioned White and Morneau's lack of it in passing. So, let's get to the core of the Twins playoff failure. Jason Bartlett, Morneau, White, Hunter and Cuddyer all made huge mistakes in the field.\nTo be fair to Morneau, he did make a good play early in the series, but his mistake in Game 3 was just as detrimental to any chance of a Twins win as Torii Hunter's misplay in Game 2 was. Both allowed several runs (in Justin's case, four, in Torii's, two) to score that should not have and gave Oakland the cushion they needed to cruise towards victory.\nBartlett was consistently bad over at shortstop, missing numerous plays, muffing a probable double-play in Game 1, and showing none of the great defensive ability he displayed during the regular season. Who knows if this will adversely affect his place in the Twins future, but it certainly hurt the Twins in the Oakland series.\nAs for the outfield, no one played well. White made a misplay on the Marco Scutaro (by the way, what is a .258 career hitter with no power doing the Twins in the playoffs? Is this the Revenge of the Castro?) double in Game One, helping lead to a key run that would mean a Twins loss. Cuddyer had an error of his own and also showed a lack of range in right field. Hunter, of course, made a costly error in Game 2 and I doubt Twins fans will forget that for a long time. Good thing it wasn't in the World Series, or poor Torii would have Bill Buckner Syndrome for the next 20 or 30 years.\n2) The Offense\nI already talked about this briefly, but that only scratches the surface of the problem. Amazingly, as a team, the Twins hit better than Oakland did over the series (.257 to .245) but that's nothing new. The Twins hit .287 during the regular season, but that didn't exactly make them a potent offense.\nWhat was the problem? Of course, going 1-for-19 in RBI situations is huge, but that is one of many problems. For one, Jason Tyner should never EVER be a DH in a major league playoff game. Naturally, that isn't Tyner's fault, but a fault of the organization in never finding a decent bat to put in that slot and Phil Nevin never doing anything since he came to the club other than drinking some beer in the postgame celebrations and hitting a home run in a rout of Baltimore.\nBut a noticable issue was that all the Twins potential rallies started with two-out hits. The Twins had a total of six walks all series, three of them by Luis Castillo, two amazingly by Tyner, and one by Mauer. What that equates to is a .257 average and a very ugly .299 OBP. You can't win games if the only time you get on base is with two-out hits. That puts too much pressure on what is largely a young ballclub.\nAlso, the piranhas did nothing all series. Castillo did have those walks and a couple hits, but he didn't do the \"little things\" and was caught stealing in his only attempt. But he was the best of the piranha boys. Collectively, between Castillo, Bartlett, Punto, and Tyner, they went 8-for-40 (.200) and stole only one base. They also scored exactly zero runs.\nIf four of the hitters in your lineup are that unproductive, there is a clear reason why the Twins managed to score just seven runs all series. It wasn't so much that the Oakland starters were good (they were all decent, all showing some nerves and lack of control but great stuff at times) but that the Twins offense ended up being based solely on five solo home runs, an RBI groundout, and one RBI hit. There couldn't be a better recipe for failure.\n3) The Bullpen\nThis is a subject I don't want to harp on as much as the others. This unit was not terrible, as its clear that the defense did them no favors as half the eight runs they gave up in eight innings were unearned.\nPart of it was management. The Twins best reliever, Joe Nathan, threw only 2/3 of an inning, and that's pretty unacceptable. I'ts true that the Twins never had a lead all series, but it's the playoffs and that means changing strategies. If it's clear that your team has issues getting a lead, you need to try to preserve the score the best you can, especially when your starters leave with close scores (2-1 in Game 1, 2-2 in Game 2).\nJesse Crain should have never came into Game 1. It wasn't a bad pitch he threw that Frank Thomas took out, but that is a situation that calls for Nathan. Nathan should have pitched at least an inning, if not more, in both the first and second games. Game 3 got away from the Twins in a hurry and there was no reason for it, but Nathan's presence might have given the Twins at chance in Game 1 or 2.\n4) The Oakland A's\nLast and not least, the competition was good. The A's weren't given a chance by the national media or many people. I think here and on many blog sites, at least, it seemed that the A's should give the Twins a competitive series, but the Twins would win out because, after all, they had Santana and Nathan (clearly, that didn't matter, since Santana pitched well and loss and Nathan was hardly used).\nIn all of this we shouldn't overlook the fact that Oakland played well. All the things the Twins did poorly, the A's did well. They played incredible defense, especially in the outfield, taking numerous line drives that should have been hits away from Twins hitters. Their bullpen was fantastic, with Huston Street having no problems closing the door on the Twins.\nTheir hitters weren't great overall, but Thomas hit two huge home runs, they got situational hitting when they needed to, and they played with a swagger that didn't exist in the Twins' play.\nOverall, there were many reasons for the Twins demise in the playoffs, but its our jobs as Twins fans not to forget the wonderful regular season. There were many great stories and numerous reasons to feel great about what happened.\nComing up next on this site, we'll review the regular season, give out the big rewards, look to the offseason and possible moves, and of course, keep updates coming on the playoffs as they move on. Tigers vs. A's, who ya got?\nAnd so ends the 2006 season of the Minnesota Twins.\nIt was an incredible season, unfortunately ending with a truly horrible playoff series. Yesterday, the Athletics completed a totally dominant three-game sweep in their home park, putting the Twins away 8-3 and moving on to the ALCS.\nThe problems for the Twins yesterday were the same ones that haunted them in the first two games of the series. No one could deliver hits with runners in scoring position, the defense committed costly errors, and the bullpen was not its usual flawless self.\nSeveral Oakland runs could have been prevented with simple competence on defense. Milton Bradley's two-run homer in the third inning would have been a solo shot if Jason Bartlett had not allowed a groundball to roll right under his glove on the previous play. All four runs scored by the A's in the eighth could have been prevented if Justin Morneau had simply picked up a two-out grounder hit directly at him and stepped on first.\nYou can point fingers at particular bad breaks for this embarrassing sweep all you want. Torii Hunter diving and missing at a ball in center field. Hunter being called out at the plate on a play where he appeared to be safe. Bad hops, near misses, and close calls. The fact is that, while they might have contributed, none of these factors caused the Twins to lose this series.\nThey were completely outplayed by a team that was considered inferior by most analysts coming into the series. The Twins never once held a lead in the series, and scored just seven runs over three games--unacceptable production no matter how good your pitching is. Twins hitters went 1-for-19 with runners in scoring position, and had just one run-scoring hit in the series that was not a solo home run.\nAs it stands, Brad Radke's career likely came to an end yesterday, and it wasn't in the way we would have liked. Radke didn't pitch great, but he wasn't the reason they lost the game. Seeing him sit somberly in the dugout as the A's celebrated and the Twins players moped into the clubhouse was one of the sadder sights I have seen as a baseball fan.\nThe Twins put up one of the all-time duds in playoff history in their ALDS series against the A's, and it's tough not to be bitterly disappointed. Still, hopefully we won't let it take away too much from what was a truly great season.\nWe'll be back tomorrow with some more analysis of the series and in the following days with some season wrap-ups and analysis of the other playoff series.\nIf you haven't gotten quite enough of me yet, you can head over to the Minnesota Twins Fan Network Podcast site where I did a phone interview with Jeff Straub, which should be up today.\nPrayers for a Frayer Shoulder\nIn thinking over the past day or so about what to write in looking towards today's game, I really couldn't come up with much. The games on Tuesday and Wednesday were tough to watch. Much like the down times in the regular season, it was hard to bear what was going on much less imagine the Twins had any chance to advance.\nSimilarly things look pretty down going into this afternoon's game. But here's something to remember: This series is already going down the trail of the regular season; starting off with everything going wrong before an incredible and unbelievable comeback.\nNow, I make no predictions here, but who can't say that a great Brad Radke start and a Twins win wouldn't flow perfectly with what has already happened this year. I know that its tough to have faith in a guy who's shoulder is ready to fall off, but Radke has not given us any reasons to doubt him.\nOf course, pitching really hasn't been a problem. I've seen complaints about the bullpen's performance so far, but without Torii's misplay Wednesday, things wouldn't look so bad. Such a small sample doesn't suggest for any reason that they are no longer trustworthy and both starters had good starts.\nThis year, the whole theme behind the season has been playing for Kirby. This has been reiterated by the daily video montages at the Metrodome and the comments we've hard all year from the likes of Torii Hunter, Ron Gardenhire, and others. Someone else needs to be added to that list and that is Radke.\nI am not trying to make a comparison here or insult a great legacy, but Brad Radke is one of the best in Twins history. His ERA isn't anything great, but he pitched consistently well in a hitter's era and he has been a model teammate, citizen, pitcher, and athlete. Puckett deserves honor, but considering what Radke has done (It really can't be emphasized enough what a crazy and gutsy thing he has done this year), this Twins team needs to do him right as well.\nIts time for the offense to break out and score some runs for the rare kind of athlete we won't see again for a while. If anything, this season needs to end the right way, with this Twins team giving the same relentless, run-every-play-out, ballsy effort that got them to the playoffs in the first place.\nAnd remember Twins fans, that even if the season ends this afternoon, its been a wonderful, moving, unbelievable, unparalled, unpredictable season that should be remember for years to come.\nMagic Missing\nThe Twins' Game 1 loss against the A's was a heartbreaker. Losing at home with your ace on the mound is always tough. Thus, the Twins came into yesterday's game needing a victory to head into Oakland with the series tied. It wasn't an elimination game, but it was the definition of a \"must-win.\"\nUnfortunately, it wasn't to be. Boof Bonser gave the Twins a solid effort on the hill, allowing just two runs over six innings, but once again the Twins failed to help him out by making countless mistakes at the plate and in the field.\nNo mistake was more grave than the one Torii Hunter made in the seventh inning. Dennys Reyes came on to pitch to Mark Kotsay with two outs and a runner on first. Kotsay hit a line drive to center that looked like it would drop in for a single, but Hunter for some reason decided to charge at it and make a diving attempt, coming up several feet short and allowing the ball to bounce past him and to the wall. Not only was Jason Kendall able to score from first, but Kotsay chugged all the way around to score on a rare inside-the-park home run. The two-run blunder by Hunter allowed the A's to promptly erase the two runs the Twins had scored in the previous inning to tie the game on home runs from Michael Cuddyer and Justin Morneau.\nI don't want to be too hard on Torii, because I'm sure he is just sick with himself and there's no doubt that he'll be receiving plenty of criticism from other sources. Still, this is going to go down as perhaps the worst defensive play of his career. He exercised horrendous judgment; even if it was makable play (which it wasn't), it wasn't worth the risk with two outs and a lone runner at first base in a tie game. Hunter's play sucked every ounce of momentum out of the Twins after a big inning, and it would be easy to put the entire loss on his shoulders. I'm not going to.\nThe real culprit in this loss was once again the Twins offense, which was simply pitiful. Aside from the sixth inning, in which Cuddyer and Morneau led off with back-to-back homers, the Twins never had a baserunner with less than two outs, making a rally of any sort a daunting task. When they did manage to get a couple runners on with two outs, no one could step up and deliver a big hit, with Justin Morneau, Rondell White, Joe Mauer, Jason Bartlett and Nick Punto all leaving runners aboard with two outs.\nAgainst Esteban Loaiza, who is likely the most hittable starter they will face in this series, the Twins could get nothing going. They tapped harmless grounder after harmless grounder, giving Oakland shortstop Marco Scutaro plenty of work by grounding out to him eight times in the game.\nIn the first two games of the series, the Twins hitters have been completely incapable of rallying for runs. Of the four runs they managed to score, three came on solo home runs. Not one player delivered a run-scoring hit outside of those homers, as the only other run in the series came on an RBI groundout. For a team that prides itself on a \"piranha\" type of play, with runners getting aboard and moving around the bases, that just can't happen. Perhaps the saddest thing in all of this is that they have been this offensively impotent in front of their home crowd. The thought of this offense trying to string together hits in an unfriendly opposing ballpark is frightening.\nBack on Sunday, I wrote that the Twins appeared to be flattening out offensively, and the hitters seemed worn down after a long and difficult season. The offense looked horrible in the team's final homestand against the Royals and White Sox, and I feared that that slump might carry over into the playoffs. As it turns out, it has in a big way.\nIt was a magical season for the Twins, but now that magic seems to have gone missing. Very little has gone right in these first two games, and the Twins now find themselves on the brink of elimination just days after celebrating one of the most improbable division championships in the history of the league. Wherever that magic has gone, the Twins are going to need to recapture it and use it all in order to get themselves back in this series, as they now have to travel into Oakland and win against a couple very tough pitchers in Dan Haren and Rich Harden.\nSadly, it's pretty tough to see that happening.\nNerves + Sloppy Play + No Offense = Game 1 Loss\nIf anyone decides to pin yesterday's Game 1 loss on Johan Santana, they are either terribly mistaken, blind, or plain dumb. Santana pitched a very good game against the A's yesterday, going eight innings and striking out eight while allowing five hits, two runs, and a walk.\nHis defense certainly didn't help him. Nick Punto made some outstanding plays over the course of the game, including getting tangled with the chainlinks near the dugout on a great foul ball catch. Other than that, the list of mistakes is long: Rondell White's subpar play, helping the second run in with his slow feet on Marco Scutaro's double, and showing his non-existent arm, Michael Cuddyer's botched play on a carom off the wall that stretched a Nick Swisher single into a double, and Jason Bartlett dropping the ball on an easy double play to help load the bases in the seventh and forcing Santana to throw far more pitches than he should have in the inning.\nAlso, you can't really blame Santana or Jesse Crain for how good a hitter Frank Thomas still is. Forget the .270 regular season average. For one, he had a terrible April because he was still recovering from the painful surgery he had in his foot, not to mention getting used to metal permanently lodged in it. He hit 20 second half homers, drove in 68 runs in that time, and hit nearly .300. He hit a good Santana changeup out down the left field line and later took a 96 MPH sinking inside fastball from Crain out for a solo shot. Neither was a particularly bad pitch, but Thomas is so powerful that he managed to take them out anyway.\nIf anything, the mistake was not being more careful with the A's best hitter. In the playoffs, there is plenty of reason to pitch around a weak lineup's best hitter. The Padres made a similar mistake in pitching to Albert Pujols yesterday, and Pujols made them pay with a home run and two RBI. The comparison isn't that much of a strech, since Thomas was the best hitter on the 90s. (Best hitter, not player, mind you. Bonds was the best player.) There was no reason to give him anything near the strike zone if they could avoid it.\nHowever, the general issue was nerves. Not for Santana, but for the rest of the Twins. Barry Zito was wild with his pitches from the start, but the Twins hitters helped him out as much as they could. No one other than Luis Castillo and Joe Mauer drew a walk and most didn't work the count very much at all. Despite being wild and unable to control his fastball, Zito threw only 33 pitches in the first three innings.\nBecause of that, it took the Twins 4 2/3 innings to get a hit and they didn't get on the board until Rondell White homered in the seventh. Despite all the mistakes, the Twins had chances but failed to capitalize. Jason (or \"Josh,\" according to Jon Miller) Bartlett doubled to lead off the eighth, but the Twins were unable to bring him home. Michael Cuddyer tripled on a fly ball that Milton Bradley lost in the lights to start the ninth, but the next three batters were retired to end a rally attempt. Cuddyer scored on an RBI groundout, but the Twins still came up short.\nNot following a good game plan, being nervous and overly aggressive, and expecting a magical eighth or ninth inning comeback in every game is terribly unrealistic. This is the playoffs. Oakland has a good bullpen and despite his 11 blown saves, Huston Street is a formidable closer. There aren't any Scott Dohmanns or Bruce Chens here to mercilessly beat around.\nNow, don't get me wrong. By no means are the Twins done or anything. But they need to get serious fast and lose the nerves. Playing at the Dome is a huge advantage they need to exploit. Also, the recent managerial moves are downright ridiculous.\nAre you going to tell me one bad start should mean no Matt Garza on the postseason roster? Carlos Silva is starting Game 4? The completely immobile Jason Kubel makes the team over fleet-footed Alexi Casilla? I like Glen Perkins, but Kubel should have stayed home. He doesn't help the bench at all. Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but Silva really didn't have a great game Sunday. To the contrary, he looked very shaky and he is possibly the worst pitcher to send out against the A's. Guys like Thomas and Swisher will eat him up for line drive after line drive.\nNot keeping Garza was an awful move. Despite his last start being not-so-great, he is a superior option to Silva. The only place Silva is useful is long relief. At this point, I'd take Perkins over him. The best news I can give fans right now is that Esteban Loiza starts today and with his mediocre stuff, hopefully the Twins bats can come alive. This is going to be a big, big start for Boof Bonser.\nALDS Preview: Twins vs. Athletics\nFor the past few weeks, we've been gearing up for a first-round postseason showdown with the New York Yankees. It would have been the third time in the past four years that the two teams had met in the ALDS, and a good opportunity for the Twins to exact some revenge. Instead, a dramatic turn of events on Sunday has dictated that the Twins will face the Oakland Athletics in the first round of the playoffs, with Game 1 taking place at the Metrodome this afternoon.\nThe Twins and A's last met in the playoffs in 2002. In that series, the inexperienced Twins were considered a long-shot, and after falling behind 2 games to 1 it seemed inevitable that their upstart season would be coming to a quick close. However, the Twins came back with a blowout victory in Game 4 and squeezed by 5-4 in the decisive Game 5 to advance to the ALCS, where they lost to the eventual World Series champion Angels.\nIn that '02 series, major contributors for the Twins included Eric Milton and A.J. Pierzynski. Four years later, several players who the Twins received in trades for those players will be counted on for significant contributions: Boof Bonser, Joe Nathan, Nick Punto and perhaps even Carlos Silva.\nNowadays, the Athletics are built in a fairly similar mold to the Twins. They don't hit too much, but they can pitch and play defense. With that said, it should be noted that their offensive problems are far beyond anything the Twins experienced this season. Oakland ranked 13th out of 14 American League teams in batting average, and also ranked 13th in team slugging percentage, finishing just one point better than the impotent Royals. No Athletic batted over .300, although they do have some patient hitters who can get on base. Eric Chavez hit just .241, but managed a .351 OBP. Frank Thomas posted an unimpressive .270 batting average, but complemented that with an excellent .381 OBP. In fact, even though they ranked second-to-last in AVG and SLG, the A's ranked 7th in the AL in on-base percentage and drew more walks than any AL team other than the Red Sox.\nStill, walks aren't particularly frightening, especially for a Twins staff that features great control. The most imposing bat in the Oakland lineup is of course Thomas, who put himself in the MVP conversation by hitting .270/.381/.545 with 39 HR and 114 RBI this year. He also posted an even K/BB ratio. Left fielder Nick Swisher is a dangerous hitter who ripped 35 home runs this year, but he also hit just .255 and struck out 150 times. Outside of those two, Oakland's lineup is less than intimidating. Chavez ranks third on the team in homers at 22, but he had a poor year offensively, hitting just .241/.351/.436. Only two players on the team (Jay Payton and Jason Kendall) hit for a better average than .275.\nWhile both the Athletics and Twins feature pitching as a strong point, Minnesota's unit has got to be seen as a considerably stronger one. The Twins have a team ERA of 3.92, compared to Oakland's 4.17. The Athletics bullpen does not match up particularly well against the Twins, because their only left-handed reliever is Joe Kennedy, who, despite posting an excellent 2.31 ERA in 35 innings this season, lacks great stuff and has been a mediocre pitcher over the course of his career.\nHere's a breakdown of the projected pitching match-ups for the first three games of the series:\nGame 1, Today: Barry Zito (16-10, 3.83) vs. Johan Santana (19-6, 2.77)\nYou won't find much debate over the fact that Santana is the best pitcher in the major leagues. He was steady all season, giving his team a chance to win in every start he made, dominating opposing hitters with a league-leading 245 strikeouts and keeping runners off the basepaths with a 0.99 WHIP. Santana was somewhat susceptible to the long-ball this season, giving up 24 home runs, but that shouldn't be a major issue against this Oakland lineup. Trends indicate that Santana should have success in Game 1. He went 12-0 with a 2.19 ERA at the Metrodome this season, and he comes in hot with a 1.78 ERA in five September starts. He's also pitching on a full week's rest.\nZito had a solid season, but it was nothing to write home about. He issued a ton of walks (99, second in the league), so it is imperative that the Twins hitters show patience at the plate. Although he's a southpaw, Zito is generally tougher on right-handed hitters than lefties, as he tends to have trouble throwing his big curveball for strikes against left-handers. Mauer and Morneau will need to lay off that pitch, or else take it to left field for a base hit.\nGame 2, Wednesday: Esteban Loaiza (11-9, 4.89) vs. Boof Bonser (7-6, 4.22)\nOne year ago, Bonser was probably sitting at home, having just finished a solid yet unspectacular season at the Triple-A level in which he posted a 3.99 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP. Now he's starting Game 2 of a playoff series, and he'll be hearing his unique first name echo through the cavernous Metrodome from 45,000 fans. The rookie Bonser showed a great ability to adjust in his first season in the big leagues, and in the season's final month he went 4-1 with a 2.63 ERA and was a major factor in the Twins climb to the top of the AL Central. If he can keep his emotions in check and continue to mix up his pitches and change speeds as effectively as he did throughout the later part of the season, he should be able to shut down the A's offense.\nOakland's decision to make Loaiza their Game 2 starter is rather puzzling to me. Loaiza did not have a very good year by any measure, and he got knocked around badly in his only start against the Twins in early April. Loaiza did pitch considerably better in the second half of the season (4.01 post-break ERA) than he did in the first half (6.43 pre-break), but he didn't have a great September and he also posted a 6.08 ERA on the road this season.\nGame 3, Friday: Brad Radke (12-9, 4.32) vs. Rich Harden (4-0, 4.24)\nHarden is an excellent young pitcher, but he missed much of the year with an elbow injury that limited him to 46 2/3 innings on the season. Harden made three starts in late September after returning from the disabled list. He looked good in the first couple, but he struggled mightily in his final start against the Angels on Sunday, issuing six walks in 3 2/3 innings. Nevertheless, if Harden is on his game, he is extremely tough to hit; he held opposing batters to a measly .191 average in the innings he did pitch this season. Because of his injury, Harden made only one start between April 26 and September 21. That was against the Twins on June 4, and he held them to one run on four hits over four innings, striking out six.\nRadke is, of course, a huge question mark for the Twins. He has major shoulder issues that could seemingly end his season (and career) at any given time. After a horrendous start to his season, Radke was terrific in the second half for the Twins, going 5-2 with a 2.84 ERA after the All-Star break. He looked good in a five-inning start last Thursday, but it's impossible to know what will happen with Radke's shoulder. If he has to come out of the game early, it will likely be Carlos Silva or Scott Baker taking his place, which could be troublesome.\nWhen I made my preseason predictions back in March, I picked the Athletics to represent the American League in the World Series. In fact, I had them getting there by defeating the Twins in a playoff series (although my setup them facing off in the ALCS). Well, with everything that has happened over the course of the year, I'm changing my tune. I just don't see the A's as having an advantage over the Twins in any facet of the game. The Twins have a better offense, a better bullpen, better starting pitching (with Santana able to go twice, if needed), better defense, and at least an equally good bench. All that, and they are able to play the first two games of the series in their own stadium, where they have been tougher to beat than any other team in the league.\nAll you have to do is a read a Bay-area newspaper to realize how much the A's are looking forward to playing in the Metrodome:\nThe A's will need all of that newfound energy, and more, in a place where infield choppers turn into doubles and drives to the outfield get lost in the Teflon. Oh, it is horrible. Wow, is it loud. A single victory there would be a titanic accomplishment.\nFinally the Twins have escaped the underdog role that they've played all season long. They are pretty much unanimous favorites in this series with Oakland. How they will respond to this new situation remains to be seen, but I see no reason that this magical season should end with this series. Twins in four.\nMinnesota Twins: 2006 AL Central Champs",

        "raw_content": "U.S. Consul General on NAFTA, American-Canadian business relations and a North American political union\nThe North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is now in its second decade of existence. The agreement has established a rapprochement between Canada, the United States and Mexico, and U.S. Consul General Philip T. Chicola, on a recent whistle-stop tour to UFV\u2019s Abbotsford campus, believes that NAFTA will one day be subsumed into a more inclusive agreement that may include greater economic and political unity between the three countries, similar to the European Union.\nby Paul Brammer (News & Opinion Editor)\nChicola commented on the possibilities and complications that NAFTA faces in the proposed trajectory of its evolution. \u201cI think eventually NAFTA will be superseded by a more comprehensive agreement. [One] of the hardest parts is continuing to get adjusted to the changes that those agreements bring about.\n\u201cThat takes time to process and digest, and the whole world trade picture is morphing and changing all the time. How quickly those changes will happen is anyone\u2019s guess. But they will happen, that is one thing in the schedule I think.\u201d\nOne common complaint made of NAFTA is that it has been responsible for the siphoning of jobs away from one of the NAFTA countries to one of the others. While Chicola admitted that NAFTA is responsible for the relocating of jobs to and from cities and areas, the Consul General pointed to the emergence of countries such as India and China as competitors and leaders in the world manufacturing stakes. \u201c[NAFTA has] been very successful in increasing trade between the countries and integrating their economies. It has been a failure explaining to people what it does and doesn\u2019t do\u2026There is this vision in the U.S., for example, that NAFTA siphoned all these jobs out of the U.S.; it siphoned some [but] most of the jobs were not siphoned\u2026The bulk of the jobs migrated elsewhere in the world for totally different reasons, nothing to do with NAFTA.\u201d\nRecent statistics have intimated that American and Canadian businesses are fostering closer links as a result of the trade integration expounded by the tenets of NAFTA. Last month\u2019s HSBC Trade Confidence Index found that Canadian companies believed the U.S. to be one of their top three trading partners, while a growing number of businesses in the U.S. identify Canada as their top trading country.\nA number of reasons for this trade relationship were touched on by Chicola \u2013 unifying them all was the familiarity that Canadians have for American customs, businesses and business practices, and vice versa. \u201c[They are a] very easy place to do business \u2013 the rules are very similar; in most cases identical. They speak the same language [so] they don\u2019t have to go running around, trying to find intermediates. It is not subject to the kind of legal impediments that you would find in countries with different legal traditions. You don\u2019t have to deal with questions of corruption; you don\u2019t have a lot of the impediments you have elsewhere. This opens up the trade between the two countries, and the amount of trade we do with one another will continue to increase.\u201d\nThe implementation of the trade agreement has led commentators to wonder where NAFTA will lead; the possibility of some kind of political union, not unlike the European Union, is a possibility that may be explored in the future. Chicola commented on the viability and possibility of such a union, using Europe as an example. \u201cI think [political integration] is much harder \u2013 I think it is much harder for several practical reasons: I don\u2019t think the U.S. is prepared to give up sovereignty and, clearly, to start a system like that you have to make some serious decisions about giving up sovereignty. I don\u2019t think Canada or Mexico are prepared to do that either.\n\u201cI think political integration may happen but it will be far away\u2026Economic integration, dealing with trade barriers, [and] reducing those trade barriers is going to happen long before it happens.\u201d\nThe European Union began life as a trading body much like NAFTA. Chicola commented on the characteristics of the E.U., and how that model can be useful in mapping out the future of relations between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. \u201cFor the first 20, 25 years of the incipient E.U. evolving into what it is, it was basically a trade organization in a much more benign environment. It started out as a way to integrate Germany into the European economy and only in the 70s and 80s did it begin to evolve into a political union.\n\u201cI think in North America it would be much, much slower. At some point those political structures will change, but that point may be 50, 60, a hundred years in the future\u2026Certainly, people in all three countries would have to change their views about nationality and what it means to be a sovereign power. They [would] have to stop thinking of themselves as Americans or Canadians or Mexicans\u2026In Europe they still think of themselves as Spanish or French or English, they don\u2019t think of themselves as Europeans.\u201d\nOne accusation levelled at NAFTA is that it attempts to force artificial or unnatural changes on the member countries, at the cost of alienating their respective populations and ways of living. Chicola explained that NAFTA is an agent of social evolution. \u201cThe question is \u2013 would the person working the small plot in South Central Mexico, growing corn for himself and his family\u2026would that allow him and his family to have a better future? The answer is probably not. They probably are living today pretty much the same way they lived in the nineteenth century, so unless you bring in a law change\u2026their lives won\u2019t get better. So it\u2019s a terrible choice, it\u2019s a very difficult thing to explain, but it\u2019s inevitable in some fashion or other.\u201d\nNext Friday: Part two of the Consul General interview\nRelated Topics:Canada-US RelationsEconomicsNAFTAPaul BrammerUSUS Consul General\nCopyright changes are anything but right\nTrade, pipelines, and creative approaches to growth: Regional summit shed light on economic future of the Fraser Valley\nAlbum Review: Radiohead \u2013 The King of Limbs",

        "raw_content": "Ultratune Belmont is part of a car service franchise with a strong 35+ year history. Commencing operations in 1979 with a pilot store in Box Hill, Melbourne, Ultra Tune rapidly expanded and in 1983 the founder of the Company split the business into State organisations; (South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland) which were purchased by local groups of franchisees in each State.\nWhilst the South Australian group remained independent, the three (3) Eastern States again merged in 1988 to form Ultra Tune Systems (Australia) Pty Limited which then expanded to Western Australia and has now grown to become a national franchise company with over 275 franchise outlets operated by well trained and experienced technicians.\nUltra Tune began with a fixed price tune and lube service and now provides both fleet and private motorists with a full range of services, each designed to be performed in a structured series of operating procedures which ensure faster, more efficient and cost effective service.\nIt was found that many cars were not tuneable without mechanical repairs of some sort and thus the services offered to motorists grew to encompass full servicing and all mechanical repairs. We are now expanding our range of services to include tyres and all tyre-related servicing needs.\nThe Franchisor employs specialist personnel from all relevant disciplines to provide first class back up and support to franchise owners. Key administrative staff are professionals from accounting, financial management and marketing backgrounds. The Franchisor\u2019s technical and training staff are highly qualified; some having previously owned and operated or managed an Ultra Tune franchise. They are constantly being updated and instructed on the latest technical innovations and procedures. Ultra Tune is considered the industry leader in its technical field.",

        "raw_content": "Source: PICO National Network\nReverse redlining is a predatory lending practice that targets minorities with poor credit. Before, minorities were unable to receive loans for housing due to redlining in which banks refused to give loans due to the risk it presented in allowing minorities to own homes in white and suburban neighborhoods. With reverse redlining, minorities are able to take out mortgage loans but are subjected to high interest rates, which they were unable to pay back due to their income. They also receive less counseling and assistance to pay the loans which accounts for the loss of many homes. On the other hand, whites receive less predatory loans than minorities as they are not seen as a risk factor.\nFurther Reading: http://www.housingwire.com/articles/37419-groundbreaking-ruling-federal-jury-finds-emigrant-bank-liable-for-predatory-lending\nGlossary, UD: Unpacking the \u2018Housing Issue\u2019\nIt\u2019s incredibly frustrating that the government is twisting its policies to STILL only benefit the white, rich Americans. In cases like reverse redlining, the government will continue to argue that they are doing all they can to make America fair and equal to all, yet will never mention the hidden policies that negate all they are claiming to be fixing. I don\u2019t think I will ever understand the logic, or lack thereof, of the government\u2019s policies and why they work so hard to disadvantage those who are trying to get by. I\u2019m sure if they put as much effort into making it easier for people as they do for making it difficult, the people of this country would be in a much better place.",

Not a super impressive cover IMO. It doesn't really add anything new to the material, and the original feels more poignant and heartfelt, though her performance is solid.\nShe's no Gaynor, Garland, or Streisand, but I'm still looking forward to seeing how she does in this.\nWatching that trailer, I\u2019m very impressed by Cooper. She seems a bit flat, though. I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because she\u2019s not a great actress or because all I can see is \u201cLady Gaga\u201d. I hope beyond hope this isn\u2019t a bad moment for her ( *cough* like madonna *cough*).\nBased on the few short clips, I actually think (before she starts singing) she does a nice job disappearing into the role but as soon as that vocal starts it\u2019s so unmistakably her. I\u2019m definitely looking forward to seeing it.\nI remember reading she was going to be credited as Stefanie Germanotta for this film. I guess they changed their minds!\nOh that looks really good! I definitely want to watch.\nThis is so charming and great (BC really is a dreamboat):\nI saw the trailer before a movie this weekend. I highly doubt that this will be a disaster! It looks well-made.\nNot that I'm Nostradamus, but I bet she gets an Oscar this year for Best Song and likely gets nominated for Best Actress if she's halfway decent. Gaga seems to have been fully embraced by Hollywood, and there's a narrative that she was \"robbed\" of a Best Song win the year she was nominated and Sam Smith won. Plus, when an original song from a musical is nominated in this category, it almost always wins. I think come next spring she has an excellent chance of being able to add \"Academy Award Winner\" before her name.\nI thought she was bad in American Horror Story, but I imagine this role will suit her much, much better. The hype machine is also going to be big on this one--celebrities are already praising it, and I'm sure we'll be hearing about how all the singing was live every time this movie is mentioned (the press for Les Miserables similarly drilled that point home). Typically, when a music diva lands a baity role like this and handles it well, she at LEAST gets an Oscar nod (Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues, Bette Midler in The Rose, Cher in Moonstruck). The exceptions are Madonna for Evita and Courtney Love for The People Vs. Larry Flynt, but both of those women came with a lot more baggage and were probably considered outsiders in the film industry far more than the other ladies I mentioned.\nLong story short--I think this is going to be a success for her. And I echo what has been said about Bradley Cooper--he looks good in this and sings surprisingly well. I honestly would have thought he was a professional country singer based on what we heard in the trailer.\nLast edited by sleeptheclock; 06-26-2018 at 06:42 PM.",

The Art Deco Women\u2019s College Hospital building, completed in 1935, is currently being torn down on Grenville Street, just east of Queens Park. With the recently built first phase of the new Women\u2019s College Hospital (WCH) facility now completed to the east, the aging hospital structure on the western edge of the property is being cleared to make way for a future second phase of the hospital.\nCurrent state of the 1935 Women's College Hospital site, image by Jack Landau\nThe original 10-storey wing of hospital is the last of three wings to be demolished for the rebuilding of WCH after the recent teardown of both the 1956 and 1971 wings. Though the WCH property had been designated as a National Historic Site by the Federal Government, none of the individual structures on site were themselves protected from redevelopment.\nDemolition of Women's College Hospital, image by Jack Landau\nCrews continue to clear the site, which aside from the original structure\u2019s remaining western half, has been shored and excavated down to the addition\u2019s former basement levels. The building is being taken down with hydraulic high-reach excavators, which bite chunks out of the building while hosing down the area to minimize dust.\nHigh reach excavator removing sections of concrete, image by Jack Landau\nStill standing at ten storeys, the 1935 building is being methodically stripped of its skin and taken down in segments from east to west. When we stopped by the scene recently, crews were busy removing a large section of concrete from the eight floor.\nA section of concrete on its way down, image by Jack Landau\nMany have wondered whether the building could be saved or reincorporated into the new hospital, but the aging facility was considered no longer viable in an age where health care has become very high tech, and where programs are changing significantly: Women's College Hospital now operates without patient beds. Couple these changes with the financial impact of maintaining an aging structure, and heritage architecture concerns were outweighed in this instance.\nWomen's College Hospital viewed from the northwest, image by Jack Landau\nFor additional information and renderings, check out our dataBase file, linked below.

        "title": "Don't Make These Mistakes With Your CRM List! - Vert Digital",
        "raw_content": "BY: MATT TOMPKINS Jul 8th, 2016\nLet\u2019s talk email marketing.\nMarketers are constantly looking for ways to engage their customers and potential leads, and an easy, common way to do so is by leveraging email to grab some real estate in their inbox.\nAnd yet, many email marketers are making simple mistakes that NEED to be avoided in order to have a successful email marketing campaign and strategy. Poor email strategy and etiquette will leave your customers looking like rapper Young Thug (pictured above), perturbed at what they see in their inbox. In fact, if you don\u2019t watch out and avoid some of these mistakes, you may actually be BREAKING THE LAW (or at the very least, sending your message straight to the spam folder)!\nVert\u2019s CRM and email marketing experts came together to break down the mistakes that email marketers make when they are creating their database of contacts and email addresses.\nHere are 4 of the most common email list mistakes:\n1. The emails you\u2019ve collected didn\u2019t opt in.\nYou have a list of contacts, and their email addresses. You\u2019re prepping your campaign so that you can let these contacts know about your product offerings.\nDid you let them know, though, that you would be sending them emails? If your email contacts didn\u2019t opt-in, they aren\u2019t expecting your emails. With emails inboxes as full as they are in the 21st century, unwelcome guests will get sent straight to, you guessed it\u2026\nWhen you are collecting emails for your lists, you need to ensure that you have an opt-in checkbox where contacts can confirm that they\u2019d like to receive your offer, your newsletter, whatever it is that you\u2019ll be sending them in an attempt to get or keep their business. Some services even offer built-in ways to get a DOUBLE opt-in from contacts, in which they\u2019ll check a box, and then confirm again, either via a confirmation email or a text message. This will increase your KPIs, as these contacts have let you know twice that they want to receive your messaging.\nSome companies don\u2019t even want to put in the work of collecting their emails the right way, either purchasing a list of random contacts (which email service providers such as Mailchimp and Emma don\u2019t even allow in the first place), or worse, using nefarious programs like harvesting bots to crawl the internet and collect random emails for you. The latter tactic is actually ILLEGAL under the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Violators of this federal law have been subject to rulings including house arrest and fines exceeding six figures!\n2. You didn\u2019t collect the right information from your contact\nTo properly use advanced email segmentation techniques with your CRM database, you need to make sure that you\u2019ve collected all of the proper information from your contact when they chose to opt-in to your campaigns. To do this, you need to make sure that you have created fields in your database that will store all of this data, and that whatever spreadsheet or form-fill you\u2019re using to capture the data is connected to these fields.\nHere are some of the most common fields used when capturing information from contacts:\nLast Name (Be sure first and last name are captured separately, so that you can properly implement merge fields)\nLead Source/Referral (How did they find you?)\nClosest Location (if you\u2019re a brick-and-mortar business)\nMost other fields you would need would need to be custom-tailored to your business. Failure to implement proper fields for your contact data will hamstring your processes when you are attempting to create targeted campaigns.\n3. You didn\u2019t segment your list to target the proper audience.\nIf you don\u2019t have your list divided in to targeted segments, you really aren\u2019t executing proper email marketing. You\u2019re just sending out a run-of-the-mill email blast.\nThere are countless ways and reasons to segment your list into different categories. Ultimately, you need to be able to target your audience in a way that increases your chances of engagement. For example, you don\u2019t want to target someone in the early stages of the buying cycle with the same messaging as someone in the later stages of the buying cycle. At a more basic level, you don\u2019t want to target an offer to someone in New York if it\u2019s only available in Los Angeles. With proper segmenting, you can avoid these issues, as well as get creative in the ways you create content for the audiences within your audience.\nTo properly implement segmentation, you\u2019ll need to make sure that your contacts have all of the necessary data fields to execute your plan. Whether that\u2019s having your contact\u2019s hometown, zip code, gender, or net worth, the more data you have, the more tools and flexibility you have at your disposal when targeting your campaign.\n4. You\u2019re still sending messages to an unsubscribed contact.\nRemember the CAN-SPAM Act, which was mentioned briefly above? Well, another way to violate that federal law is to not follow protocols regarding unsubscribed users.\nWhen a user chooses to opt-out from receiving future emails from you, they are to be placed in what is called a \u201csuppression list\u201d. This is simply a list of users who longer want to receive your messages. You need to use this list to ensure that no one that has unsubscribed from your email campaign is still receiving messages.\nIf your email service provider doesn\u2019t automatically opt users out of your campaign once they unsubscribe, you have 10 days to manually remove these users from your campaign and add them to your suppression list. Luckily, most ESPs do this automatically, so as long as you respect your subscriber\u2019s choice and don\u2019t use the suppression list for anything nefarious, you should be in the clear. According to the FTC, each email sent in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act is subject to a penalty of up to $16,000, so don\u2019t make this costly mistake with your unsubscribed users.\nWhen putting together a list for your email marketing campaign, don\u2019t take the easy way out. It\u2019s very easy to simply buy or gather a list of email addresses and just blast your message out to them. Not only is this a bad idea if you want a return on the time and money you\u2019ve invested into email marketing, there\u2019s also a strong chance you\u2019re skirting federal law. Using these tactics listed above, your email campaign will be CAN-SPAM compliant, and your contacts will be eagerly await its arrival.",

Before this time white people willingly looked at blacks in captivity (as well as at the Indians and Eskimos).\nAlready in the 16th century Africans were brought to Europe as exotic, much like the animals of the new open land \u2013 chimpanzees, llamas and parrots. But until the 19th century blacks lived primarily in the courts of rich people, illiterate commoners could not see them even in books.\nThat all changed in the modern era \u2013 when the majority of Europeans do not only learned to read, but was emancipated to the point that they that has requested the same comfort that the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy had.\nIn 1880s the zoos have become filled with exotic animals from the colonies and also with negroes \u2013 eugenics ranked them as the simplest representatives of the fauna.\nThe only excuse for the Europeans can be the fact that many whites up to the early 20th century really did not understand the difference between the black man and the apes. It\u2019s well known that Bismarck onse came to look at the African in Berlin Zoo who has been placed in a cage with a gorilla: Bismarck really asked to show him where in fact a human in this cage.\nBy the early 20th century Africans were kept in zoos in Basel and Berlin, Antwerp and London, and even in Russia Warsaw. Most often zoo keeper placed in the cells so-called \u201cEthnographic village\u201d, when in the cages were placed several black families. They walked there in the national costumes and led a traditional lifestyle \u2013 digging something with a help of primitive tools, woving mats, cooking on a fire.\nHowever, the traditional African way of life was not invented for the European winter. According to the data of the Hamburg zoo, only between 1908 and 1912 twenty-seven black people died here during the exposition.\n20 Vintage Photos of Young Jackie Chan in His Early Kung Ku Movies",

        "raw_content": "Home \\ Articles \\ Why Edtech is essential to Student Success\nIn a post-industrial society, echoes of the past are most apparent in perhaps the most sacred of places, our schools. Here, the most vulnerable of our society are entrusted into the system with hopes that they will grow into successful humans, whatever that may look like in twenty or so odd years.\nWhile glancing into a typical classroom, you may witness students moving about and working together, or you may find something else. Row after row of students sitting with blank stares, slightly jittery, perhaps secretly toying with a fidget spinner under their desk, only to start guiltily when someone passes along a sheet of paper which contains a short story with a few questions to answer, or a row of math questions. Though few actually followed the lesson, or were able to see what was on the blackboard, they will dutifully complete their work. In a few short years, \u201cSuccessful\u201d students, will blossom into tomorrow\u2019s workforce, equipped with the ability to sit for hours, to fill-in-the blanks, and memorize important details before the test. In short, they have the skills necessary for a job category that is vanishing faster than the Polar ice cap- the coveted blue-collar job, and to some extent, its counterpart, the white-collar job.\nDespite the fact that the industrial revolution occurred over a hundred and fifty years ago, our schools are still structured in a way that reflect this time period, not our own. How then, can we expect that graduates be prepared for the challenges they will face in the 21st century? What is the missing element from our classrooms?\nThe answer is as simple as it is groan worthy-technology.\nThe technical advances and wonders of the past twenty years, surround today\u2019s children. They are often more ipad literate than actually literate. In fact, many students do poorly with handwriting because their motor skills have not properly developed. You don\u2019t need to apply too much pressure to swipe across a screen. For these reasons, many students do poorly in classrooms structure for the early 20th century.\nThe answer doesn\u2019t lie in teaching kids cursive writing or having them make Bristol board presentations until they can cut perfectly. Going against the flow of the current is much like walking up an escalator going down. You somehow end up slowly moving with down, unless of course, you fall off.\nTechnology must be incorporated as a regular, if not daily element of the classroom. Students should learn skills that they can relate to their lives, so that they feel that their education is relevant to their lives. Aside from digital literacy, edtech has many other benefits.\nImproved student collaboration and engagement\nNothing is more fascinating to a child than a gadget because it is somehow not much different from a toy. Technology also makes it simpler for students to work together on projects and communicate easily at home or even with their teacher.\nTools such as class websites and GoogleClassroom provide students with the opportunity to review what was taught in class that day. This is particularly helpful for students in the younger grades who do not take notes.\nImproved parent communication\nA class website makes sending home important reminders, and grades, a lot simpler.\nAccess to thousands of resources\nThe phrase \u201cgoogle it\u201d sums up how important the Internet has become in our quest for knowledge. Aside from providing answers to the most mundane of questions, the Internet is also chock full with additional resources that will support any educational program for all students, regardless of their ability.\nThe use of tablets and Chromebooks, instead of worksheets and workbooks, limits the colossal waste of paper at the end of a school year, when that year\u2019s work is either dumped in a box and tucked away or recycled.\nThe world is changing at a rapid rate and the education should reflect that change. You wouldn\u2019t expect to learn to drive on the highway in a 1950s Chevrolet. How can our students be prepared for the world they will graduate into, if they are denied the basics of a digital education?\nArticles, Edtech, Education News | May 21, 2018 3:05 pm",

He led Germany's effort to develop a ballistic missile during World War II, and after the war, he successfully planned the U.S. space program from the first satellite launch through the Apollo program's manned flights to the Moon.\n1.1 Early education\n1.2 The Prussian rocketeer\n1.3 The V-2 program\n1.4 Arrest by the Nazi regime\n2 Surrender to the Americans\n3 American career\n3.1 U.S. Army career\n3.3 Popular concepts for a human presence in space\n3.4 Colonization of Mars\n3.5 Concepts for orbital warfare\n3.6 Sputnik and the beginning of the space race\n3.7 Man on the moon\n3.8 The U.S. space program changes course\n3.9 Career after NASA\n4 Nazi connections and forced labor\n4.1 Von Braun and the SS\n4.2 Slave labor\n7 Posthumous recognition and critique\n8.1 On film and television\n8.2 In print media\n8.3 In novels\n8.5 In computer games\nWernher von Braun was born in Wirsitz, Province of Posen, in the German Kingdom of Prussia. He was the second of three sons of Magnus Freiherr von Braun (1877\u20131972), a conservative politician who served as a Minister of Agriculture in the Federal Cabinet during the Weimar Republic. His mother, Emmy von Quistorp (1886-1959) could trace ancestry through both her parents to medieval European royalty. Upon von Braun's Lutheran confirmation, his mother gave him a telescope, and he discovered a passion for astronomy and the realm of outer space. When, as a result of the Treaty of Versailles, Wirsitz became part of the Poland in 1920, his family, like many other German families, moved. They settled in Berlin, where the 12-year-old von Braun attended the French Gymnasium there. Inspired by speed records established by Max Valier and Fritz von Opel,[2] the young von Braun caused a major disruption in a crowded street by firing off a toy wagon to which he had attached a number of fireworks. The youngster was taken into custody by the local police until his father came to collect him.\nStarting in 1925, von Braun attended a boarding school at Ettersburg castle near Weimar where at first he did not do well in physics and mathematics. In 1928 his parents moved him to the Hermann-Lietz-Internat (also a residential school) on the East Frisian North Sea island, Spiekeroog where he acquired a copy of the book Die Rakete zu den Planetenr\u00e4umen (The Rocket into Interplanetary Space) by rocket pioneer Hermann Oberth. The idea of space travel had always fascinated von Braun, and from this point on he applied himself to physics and mathematics in order to pursue his interest in rocketry.\nStarting in 1930, he attended the Technical University of Berlin, where he joined the Verein f\u00fcr Raumschiffahrt (VfR, the \"Spaceflight Society\") and assisted Hermann Oberth in liquid-fueled rocket motor tests. Although he worked mainly with military rockets for many of his later years, space travel remained his primary goal.\nThe Prussian rocketeer\nVon Braun was working on his creative doctorate when the National Socialist German Workers Party took over Germany, and rocketry almost immediately became a national agenda. An artillery captain, Walter Dornberger, arranged an Ordnance Department research grant for him, and von Braun then worked next to Dornberger's existing solid-fuel rocket test site at Kummersdorf. He was awarded a doctorate in physics (aerospace engineering) on July 27, 1934 for a thesis titled, About Combustion Tests. However, this was only the public part of von Braun's work. His actual full thesis, Construction, Theoretical, and Experimental Solution to the Problem of the Liquid Propellant Rocket (dated April 16, 1934) was kept classified by the Army, and was not published until 1960. Several tests of early rocketry were disasters, but By the end of 1934, his group had successfully launched two rockets that rose to heights of 2.2 and 3.5 kilometers.\nThe V-2 program\nThere were no German rocket societies after the collapse of the VfR, and civilian rocket tests were forbidden by the new Nazi regime. Only military development was allowed to conduct such experiments, and to this end, a larger facility was erected in 1937 at the village of Peenem\u00fcnde in northern Germany on the Baltic Sea. This location was chosen partly on the recommendation of von Braun's mother, who recalled her father's duck-hunting expeditions there. Dornberger became the military commander at Peenem\u00fcnde, with von Braun as technical director. In collaboration with the Luftwaffe, the Peenem\u00fcnde group developed liquid-fuel rocket engines for aircraft and jet-assisted takeoffs. They also developed the long-range Aggregat 4 A-4 series of rockets, better known as the V-2 ballistic missile, and the supersonic Wasserfall anti-aircraft missile.\nAt the time, Germany was interested in American physicist Robert H. Goddard's research on rocketry. Before 1939, German scientists occasionally contacted Goddard directly with technical questions. After that, things got rather tense. Von Braun was certainly informed by Goddard's plans from various journals,[3] but the extent to which it actually influenced the development of the A-4 is open to question. In 1963, von Braun reflected on the history of rocketry, and said of Goddard's work: \"His rockets \u2026 may have been rather crude by present-day standards, but they blazed the trail and incorporated many features used in our most modern rockets and space vehicles.\" Although Goddard believed that the Germans had used his technology for their rocket program, the V-2 was a great advance over anything Goddard was able to achieve with his limited funding and lack of support from the American military establishment.\nSchematic of the A4/V2\nOn December 22, 1942, Adolf Hitler signed the order approving the production of the A-4 as a \"vengeance weapon\" and the group developed it to target London. Following von Braun's July 7, 1943, presentation of a color movie showing an A-4 taking off, Hitler was so enthusiastic that he personally made him a professor shortly thereafter.[4] In Germany and at this time, this was an absolutely unusual promotion for an engineer who was only 31 years old.\nBy now the British and Soviet intelligence agencies were aware of the rocket program and von Braun's team at Peenem\u00fcnde. Over the nights of 17th and 18th August 1943 the RAF Bomber Command dispatched raids on the Peenem\u00fcnde camp employing 596 aircraft and dropping 1,800 tons of explosives.[5] The facility was salvaged and most of the science team remained unharmed. However, the raids did claim the lives of von Braun's engine designer Walter Thiel and other rocket team personnel, and the rocket program was delayed.[6][7]\nThe first combat A-4, renamed the V-2 (\"Vergeltungswaffen 2,\" \"Retaliation/Vengeance Weapon 2\") for propaganda purposes, was launched toward England on September 7, 1944, only 21 months after the project had been officially commissioned. Von Braun's interest in rockets was specifically for the application of space travel, and he is said to have expressed dismay over the rocket's military use.\nArrest by the Nazi regime\nAccording to Andr\u00e9 Sellier, a French historian and survivor of the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp, Himmler had von Braun come to his Hochwald HQ in East Prussia sometime in February 1944. To increase his power-base within the Nazi r\u00e9gime, Himmler was conspiring to wrest control of all German armament programs, including the V-2 program at Peenem\u00fcnde. He therefore recommended that von Braun work more closely with those Himmler was closer to, to solve the problems of the V-2, but von Braun claimed to have replied that the problems were merely technical and he was confident that they would be solved with Dornberger's assistance.\nApparently von Braun had been under SD surveillance since October 1943. A report stated that he and his colleagues Riedel and Gr\u00f6ttrup were said to have expressed regret at an engineer's house one evening that they were not working on a spaceship and that they felt the war was not going well; this was considered a \"defeatist\" attitude. A young female dentist had denounced them for their comments. Because of Himmler's false charges that von Braun was a Communist sympathizer and had attempted to sabotage the V-2 program, and considering that von Braun was a qualified pilot who regularly piloted his government-provided airplane that might allow him to escape to England, von Braun was arrested by the Gestapo.\nThe unsuspecting von Braun was detained on March 14 (or March 15), 1944, and was taken to a Gestapo cell in Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland), where he was imprisoned for two weeks without even knowing the charges against him. It was only through the Abwehr in Berlin that Dornberger was able to obtain von Braun's conditional release and Albert Speer, Reichsminister for Munitions and War Production, convinced Hitler to reinstate von Braun so that the V-2 program could continue. Citing from the \"F\u00fchrerprotokoll\" (the minutes of Hitler's meetings) dated May 13, 1944, in his memoirs, Speer later relayed what Hitler had finally conceded: \"In the matter concerning B. I will guarantee you that he will be exempt from persecution as long as he is indispensable for you, in spite of the difficult general consequences this will have.\" Nevertheless, from this point onward fear ruled in Peenem\u00fcnde.\nSurrender to the Americans\nVon Braun (with armcast) immediately after his surrender\nThe Soviet Army was about 160 km from Peenem\u00fcnde in the spring of 1945, when von Braun assembled his planning staff and asked them to decide how and to whom they should surrender. Afraid of Soviet cruelty to prisoners of war, von Braun and his staff decided to try to surrender to the Americans. Von Braun's team had been ordered to regroup in central Germany, but a conflicting order from an army chief ordered them to join the army and fight. Deciding that the first of these was their best bet to defect to the Americans, von Braun fabricated documents and transported 500 of his affiliates to the area around Mittelwerk, where they resumed their work. For fear of their documents being destroyed by the SS, von Braun ordered the blueprints to be hidden in an abandoned mine shaft in the Harz mountain range.[8]\nWhile on an official trip in March, von Braun suffered a complicated fracture of his left arm and shoulder when his driver fell asleep at the wheel. His injuries were serious but he insisted that his arm be set in a cast so he could leave the hospital. Due to this neglect of the injury he had to be hospitalized again a month later where his bones had to be re-broken and re-aligned.\nIn April, as the allied forces advanced deeper into Germany, the science team was ordered transported by train to the town of Oberammergau in the Bavarian Alps where they were closely guarded by the SS with orders to execute the team if they were about to fall into enemy hands. However, von Braun managed to convince an SS major to order the dispersion of the group into nearby villages so that they would not be an easy target for U.S. bombers.\nOn May 2, 1945, upon finding an American private from the U.S. 44th Infantry Division, von Braun's brother and fellow rocket engineer, Magnus, approached the soldier on a bicycle, calling out in broken English, \"My name is Magnus von Braun. My brother invented the V-2. We want to surrender.\"[9]\nThe American high command was well aware of how important their catch was: Von Braun had been at the top of the Black List, the code name for the list of German scientists and engineers targeted for immediate interrogation by U.S. military experts. On June 19, 1945, two days before the scheduled turnover of the area to the Soviets, U.S. Army Major Robert B. Staver, Chief of the Jet Propulsion Section of the Research and Intelligence Branch of the U.S. Army Ordnance in London, and Lt Col R. L. Williams took von Braun and his department chiefs by jeep from Garmisch to Munich. The group was flown to Nordhausen, and was evacuated 40 miles Southwest to Witzenhausen, a small town in the American Zone, the next day.[10] Von Braun was subsequently recruited to the U.S. under Operation Overcast.\nAmerican career\nOn June 20 1945, U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull approved the transfer of von Braun and his specialists to America; however this was not announced to the public until October 1, 1945. Since the paperwork of those Germans selected for transfer to the United States was indicated by paperclips, von Braun and his colleagues became part of the mission known as Operation Paperclip, an operation that resulted in the employment of many German scientists by the U.S. Army.\nThe first seven technicians arrived in the United States at New Castle Army Air Field, just south of Wilmington, Delaware, on September 20 1945. They were then flown to Boston and taken by boat to the Army Intelligence Service post at Fort Strong in Boston Harbor. Later, with the exception of von Braun, the men were transferred to Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland to sort out the Peenem\u00fcnde documents. These would enable the scientists to continue their rocketry experiments.\nFinally, von Braun and his remaining Peenem\u00fcnde staff were transferred to their new home at Fort Bliss, Texas, a large Army installation just north of El Paso. While there, they trained military, industrial and university personnel in the intricacies of rockets and guided missiles. As part of the Hermes project they helped to refurbish, assemble, and launch a number of V-2s that had been shipped from Germany to the White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico. They also continued to study the future potential of rockets for military and research applications. Since they were not permitted to leave Fort Bliss without military escort, von Braun and his colleagues began to refer to themselves only half-jokingly as \"PoPs,\" \"Prisoners of Peace.\"\nA portrait of Maria von Braun, wife of Wernher von Braun.\nDuring his stay at Fort Bliss, von Braun mailed a marriage proposal to 18 year old Maria Luise von Quistorp, his cousin on his mother's side. On March 1, 1947, having received permission to go back to Germany and return with his bride, he married her in a Lutheran church in Landshut, Germany. He and his bride and his father and mother returned to New York on 26 March 1947. On December 9, 1948, the von Brauns' first daughter, Iris Careen, was born. The von Brauns eventually had two more children, Margrit C\u00e9cile on May 8, 1952, and Peter Constantine on June 2, 1960. On April 15, 1955, von Braun became a naturalized citizen of the United States.\nIn 1950, at the start of the Korean War, von Braun and his team were transferred to Huntsville, Alabama, his home for the next twenty years. Between 1950 and 1956, von Braun led the Army's rocket development team at Redstone Arsenal, resulting in the Redstone rocket, which was used for the first live nuclear ballistic missile tests conducted by the United States.\nAs Director of the Development Operations Division of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA), von Braun's team then developed the Jupiter-C, a modified Redstone rocket. The Jupiter-C successfully launched the West's first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31, 1958. This event signaled the birth of America's space program.\nDespite the work on the Redstone rocket, the twelve years from 1945 to 1957 were probably some of the most frustrating for von Braun and his colleagues. In the Soviet Union, Sergei Korolev and his team of German scientists and engineers plowed ahead with several new rocket designs and the Sputnik program, while the American government was not very interested in von Braun's work or views and only embarked on a very modest rocket-building program. In the meantime, the press tended to dwell on von Braun's past as a member of the SS and the slave labor used to build his V-2 rockets.\nPopular concepts for a human presence in space\nRepeating the pattern he had established during his earlier career in Germany, von Braun\u2014while directing military rocket development in the real world\u2014continued to entertain his engineer-scientist's dream of a future world in which rockets would be used for space exploration. However, instead of risking being sacked he now was increasingly in a position to popularize these ideas. The May 14, 1950, headline of The Huntsville Times (\"Dr. von Braun Says Rocket Flights Possible to Moon\") might have marked the beginning of these efforts. In 1952, von Braun first published his concept of a manned space station in a Collier's Weekly magazine series of articles entitled Man Will Conquer Space Soon! These articles were illustrated by the space artist Chesley Bonestell and were influential in spreading his ideas. Frequently von Braun worked with fellow German-born space advocate and science writer Willy Ley to publish his concepts which, unsurprisingly, were heavy on the engineering side and anticipated many technical aspects of space flight that later became reality.\nThe space station (to be constructed using rockets with recoverable and reusable ascent stages) would be a toroid structure, with a diameter of 250 feet (76 meters), would spin around a central docking nave to provide artificial gravity, and would be assembled in a 1,075 miles (1,730 kilometer), two-hour, high-inclination Earth orbit allowing observation of essentially every point on earth on at least a daily basis. The ultimate purpose of the space station would be to provide an assembly platform for manned lunar expeditions.\nVon Braun envisaged these expeditions as very large-scale undertakings, with a total of 50 astronauts traveling in three huge spacecraft (two for crew, one primarily for cargo), each 49 meters long and 33 meters in diameter and driven by a rectangular array of 30 jet propulsion engines. Upon arrival, astronauts would establish a permanent lunar base in the Sinus Roris region by using the emptied cargo holds of their craft as shelters, and would explore their surroundings for eight weeks. This would include a 400 kilometer expedition in pressurized rovers to the Harpalus crater and the Mare Imbrium foothills.\nWalt Disney and Wernher von Braun, shown in this 1954 photo holding a model of his Mars lander, collaborated on a series of three educational films.\nAt this time von Braun also worked out preliminary concepts for a manned Mars mission which used the space station as a staging point. His initial plans, published in The Mars Project (1952), had envisaged a fleet of ten spacecraft (each with a mass of 3,720 metric tons), three of them unmanned and each carrying one 200-ton winged lander in addition to cargo, and nine crew vehicles transporting a total of 70 astronauts. Gigantic as this mission plan was, its engineering and astronautical parameters were thoroughly calculated. A later project was much more modest, using only one purely orbital cargo ship and one crewed craft. In each case, the expedition would use minimum-energy Hohmann transfer orbits for its trips to Mars and back to Earth.\nBefore technically formalizing his thoughts on human spaceflight to Mars, von Braun had written a science fiction novel, set in 1980, on the subject. According to his biographer Erik Bergaust, the manuscript was rejected by no less than 18 publishers. Von Braun later published small portions of this opus in magazines to illustrate selected aspects of his Mars project popularizations. Only in December 2006 did the complete manuscript appear in print as a book.[11]\nIn the hope that its involvement would bring about greater public interest in the future of the space program, von Braun also began working with the Disney studios as a technical director, initially for three television films about space exploration. The initial broadcast devoted to space exploration was Man in Space which first went on air on March 9, 1955.\nConcepts for orbital warfare\nVon Braun developed and published his space station concept during the very \"coldest\" time of the Cold War, when the U.S. government for which he worked put the containment of the Soviet Union above everything else. The fact that his space station\u2014if armed with missiles that could be easily adapted from those already available at this time\u2014would give the United States space superiority in both orbital and orbit-to-ground warfare did not escape him. Although von Braun took care to qualify such military applications as \"particularly dreadful\" in his popular writings, he elaborated on them in several of his books and articles. This much less peaceful aspect of von Braun's \"drive for space\" has recently been reviewed by Michael J. Neufeld from the Space History Division of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington.[12]\nWernher von Braun walking with President Kennedy at Redstone Arsenal in 1963.\nSputnik and the beginning of the space race\nWhile von Braun had floated the idea of putting a satellite into orbit as early as 1955, the ballistic capability of rocketry was what had caught the attention of the military. Since the objective of the Redstone and Jupiter C rockets was to carry a nuclear payload, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was reluctant to use the same vehicle to launch a satellite, preferring to rely on the Vanguard research rocket developed by the Navy. On October 4, 1957, the Russian space effort grabbed international headlines with its successful launch of an orbiting satellite they called Sputnik. This accomplishment excited attention worldwide, and caught the U.S. space effort by surprise. Equally startling was the botched American attempt on December 6 of the same year to put its own satellite in orbit atop a Vanguard rocket. The event captured headlines when the spacecraft malfunctioned on takeoff and produced a spectacular explosion on the launch pad. American authorities then chose to utilize von Braun and his German team's experience with missiles to create an orbital launch vehicle. On January 31, 1958, von Braun's team successfully launched the Explorer I satellite atop a Jupiter C rocket.\nWernher von Braun, with the F-1 engines of the Saturn V first stage at the US Space and Rocket Center.\nNASA was established by law on July 29 1958. Two years later, NASA opened the new George C. Marshall Space Flight Center at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, and von Braun was named director. In a face-to-face meeting with Herb York at the Pentagon, von Braun made it clear he would go to NASA only if development of an advanced rocket called the Saturn that his team had been working on was allowed to continue.[13] Presiding from July 1960 to February 1970, von Braun became the center's first Director.\nThe Marshall Center's first major program was the development of Saturn rockets to carry heavy payloads into and beyond Earth orbit. From this, the Apollo program for manned moon flights was developed. President John F. Kennedy announced the goal of putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Von Braun initially pushed for a flight engineering concept that called for an Earth orbit rendezvous technique, but in 1962 he converted to the more risky lunar orbit rendezvous concept that was subsequently realized. His dream to help mankind set foot on the Moon became a reality on July 16, 1969, when a Marshall-developed Saturn V rocket launched the crew of Apollo 11 on its historic eight-day mission. Over the course of the program, Saturn V rockets enabled six teams of astronauts to reach the surface of the Moon.\nStill with his rocket models, von Braun is pictured in his new office at NASA headquarters in 1970.\nDuring the late 1960s, von Braun played an instrumental role in the development of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville. The desk from which he guided America's entry in the Space Race remains on display there.\nIn 1966/67 antarctic summer, von Braun participated in a U.S. government expedition to Antarctica[14] The expedition was one of the first to systematically search the ice surface for meteorites believed to originate from the moon, for later use as a reference material.\nThe U.S. space program changes course\nIn an internal memo dated January 16, 1969, von Braun had confirmed to his staff that he would stay on as a Center Director at Huntsville to head the Apollo Applications Program. A few months later, on occasion of the first moon-landing, he publicly expressed his optimism that the Saturn V carrier system would continue to be developed, advocating manned missions to Mars in the 1980s.[15]\nHowever, on March 1, 1970, von Braun and his family relocated to Washington, D.C., when he was assigned the post of NASA's Deputy Associate Administrator for Planning at NASA Headquarters. After a series of conflicts associated with the truncation of the Apollo program, and facing severe budget constraints, von Braun retired from NASA on May 26, 1972. Not only had it become evident by this time that his and NASA's visions for future U.S. space flight projects were incompatible; it was perhaps even more frustrating for him to see popular support for a continued presence of man in space wane dramatically once the goal to reach the moon had been accomplished.\nCareer after NASA\nWernher von Braun and William R. Lucas, the first and third Marshall Space Flight Center Directors, viewing a Space Shuttle model, October 11, 1974.\nAfter leaving NASA, von Braun became Vice President for Engineering and Development at the aerospace company, Fairchild Industries in Germantown, Maryland on July 1, 1972.\nIn 1973, a routine health check uncovered kidney cancer which during the following years could not be controlled by surgery. (German sources mostly specify the cancer as renal, while American biographies unanimously just mention cancer. The time when von Braun learned about the disease is generally given as between 1973 and 1976. The characteristics of renal cell carcinoma, which has a bad prognosis even today, do not rule out either time limit.) Von Braun continued his work to the degree possible, which included accepting invitations to speak at colleges and universities as he was eager to cultivate interest in human spaceflight and rocketry, particularly with students and a new generation of engineers. On one such visit in the spring of 1974 to Allegheny College, von Braun revealed a more personal, down-to-earth side of himself as a man in his early 60s, beyond the public persona most saw, including an all-too-human allergy to feather pillows and a subtle, if not humorous disdain for some rock music of the era.\nVon Braun helped establish and promote the National Space Institute, a precursor of the present-day National Space Society, in 1975, and became its first president and chairman. In 1976, he became scientific consultant to Lutz Kayser, the CEO of OTRAG, and a member of the Daimler-Benz board of directors. However, his deteriorating condition forced him to retire from Fairchild on December 31, 1976. When the 1975 National Medal of Science was awarded to him in early 1977 he was hospitalized, and unable to attend the White House ceremony. On June 16 1977, Wernher von Braun died in Alexandria, Virginia at the age of 65. He was buried at the Ivy Hill Cemetery in Alexandria, Virginia.[16]\nNazi connections and forced labor\nVon Braun and the SS\nIn November 1937 (other sources: December 1, 1932), von Braun joined the National Socialist German Workers Party. An Office of Military Government, United States document dated April 23, 1947, states that von Braun joined the Waffen-SS (Schutzstaffel) horseback riding school in 1933, then the National Socialist Party on May 1, 1937, and became an officer in the Waffen-SS from May 1940 to the end of the war.\nVon Braun generally insisted that he had been forced to join the SS, and that if he had not done so, his work in the German missile program would have quickly come to an end. That claim has been often disputed because in 1940, the Waffen-SS had shown no interest in Peenem\u00fcnde yet. Also, the assertion that persons in von Braun's position were pressured to join the Nazi party, let alone the SS, has been disputed. Braun claimed to have worn the SS uniform only once. He began as an Untersturmf\u00fchrer (Second Lieutenant) and was promoted three times by Himmler, the last time in June 1943 to SS-Sturmbannf\u00fchrer (Wehrmacht Major).\nSS General Hans Kammler, who as an engineer had constructed several concentration camps including Auschwitz, had a reputation for brutality and had originated the idea of using concentration camp prisoners as slave laborers in the rocket program. Arthur Rudolph, chief engineer of the V-2 rocket factory at Peenem\u00fcnde, endorsed this idea in April 1943 when a labor shortage developed. More people died building the V-2 rockets than were killed by it as a weapon.[17] Von Braun admitted visiting the plant at Mittelwerk on many occasions, and called conditions at the plant \"repulsive,\" but claimed never to have witnessed firsthand any deaths or beatings, although it became clear to him that deaths had occurred by 1944. He denied ever visiting the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp itself.\nBut in Wernher von Braun: Crusader for Space[18] numerous quotes from von Braun show he was aware of the conditions, but felt completely unable to change them. From a visit to Mittelwerk, von Braun is quoted by a friend:\nIt is hellish. My spontaneous reaction was to talk to one of the SS guards, only to be told with unmistakable harshness that I should mind my own business, or find myself in the same striped fatigues!\u2026 I realized that any attempt of reasoning on humane grounds would be utterly futile.[19]\nIt is hard to reconcile the von Braun of Nazi Germany with the same man who almost singlehandedly led the United States to preeminance in the space age. Walt Disney thoroughly legitimized von Braun in the eyes of the public, whatever aware intellectuals may have thought of him. Certainly his vision for the future of space exploration was as pure as the driven snow, but the means by which he pursued that vision were not always so. The evidence points to a lively cooperation with the Nazi regime, but certainly there must have been remorse as it became apparent that the entire world would focus on his Naxi past.\nStill, the man seems to have forgiven himself, and gone on to accomplish in terms of the U.S. space program what nobody else dreamed could be done. Certainly, manned space flight to the moon was his brainchild. Since his departure from NASA, the space program could hardly hold a candle to what that organization accomplished under his leadership.\nIn February 1970, Huntsville, Alabama, honored Wernher von Braun's years of service with a series of events including a plaque in his honor. Pictured (left to right), his daughter Iris, wife Maria, U.S. Senator John Sparkman, Alabama Governor Albert Brewer, Dr. von Braun, son Peter, and daughter Margrit.\nElected Honary Fellow of the B.I.S. in 1949.[20]\nDeutsches Bundesverdienstkreuz in 1959\nSmithsonian Langley Medal in 1967\nNASA Distinguished Service Medal in 1969\nNational Medal of Science in 1975\nWerner-von-Siemens-Ring in 1975\nPosthumous recognition and critique\nApollo space program director Sam Phillips was quoted as saying that he did not think that America would have reached the moon as quickly as it did without von Braun's help. Later, after discussing it with colleagues, he amended this to say that he did not believe America would have reached the moon at all.\nThe von Braun crater on the moon was so named by the IAU in recognition of von Braun's contribution to space exploration and technology.\nVon Braun received a total of 12 honorary doctorates, among them (on January 8, 1963) one from the Technical University of Berlin from which he had graduated.\nSeveral German cities (Bonn, Neu-Isenburg, Mannheim, Mainz), and dozens of smaller towns, have named streets after Wernher von Braun. Remarkably, all these places are situated in Germany's Southwest and South\u2014the American and French parts of the Allied occupation zones. There seem to be no von Braun streets in the northern parts of the former Federal Republic of Germany, which were occupied by the British. Having had London suffer from his rockets, it is quite understandable that the United Kingdom would have discouraged German attempts at honoring von Braun.\nThe Von Braun Civic Center (built 1975) is named in von Braun's honor.\nScrutiny of von Braun's use of forced labor at the Mittelwerk intensified again in 1984 when Arthur Rudolph, one of his top affiliates from the A-4/V2 through to the Apollo projects, left the United States and was forced to renounce his citizenship in front of thealternative of being tried for war crimes.[21]\nA science- and engineering-oriented Gymnasium (the approximate equivalent of a high school) in Friedberg, Bavaria was named after Wernher von Braun in 1979. In response to rising criticism, a school committee decided in 1995, after lengthy deliberations, to keep the name but \"to address von Braun's ambiguity in the advanced history classes.\"\nOn film and television\nWernher von Braun has been featured in a number of movies and television shows or series about the Space Race:\nI Aim at the Stars (1960), also titled Wernher von Braun and Ich greife nach den Sternen (\"I reach for the stars\"): von Braun played by Curd J\u00fcrgens). Satirist Mort Sahl suggested the subtitle \"(But Sometimes I Hit London).\"\nDr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964): Dr Strangelove is usually held to be based at least partly on von Braun.\nMababangong Bangungot (Perfumed Nightmare) (1977): Director and star Kidlat Tahimik is president of a Wernher von Braun club and is fascinated with \"First World\" progress, particularly von Braun's efforts in the U.S. space program.\nMobile Suit Gundam (1979): The largest Lunar city in the Universal Century era is called \"Von Braun City.\" The city is the home of Anaheim Electronics, is a strategic point in space, and is built around Neil Armstrong's footprint in the Apollo missions.\nThe Right Stuff (1983): The Chief Scientist, played by Scott Beach, was clearly modeled on von Braun.\nBack to the Future (1985): Emmett \"Doc\" Brown reveals that when his Family emigrated to the U.S., they were originally called \"von Braun.\"\nFrom the Earth to the Moon (TV, 1998): von Braun played by Norbert Weisser.\nOctober Sky (1999): In this film about American rocket scientist Homer Hickam, who as a teenager admired von Braun, the scientist is played by Joe Digaetano.\nSpace Race (TV, BBC co-production with NDR (Germany), Channel One TV (Russia) and National Geographic TV (USA), 2005): von Braun played by Richard Dillane.\nAlphaville, une \u00e9trange aventure de Lemmy Caution (1965, directed by Jean-Luc Godard): Howard Vernon plays Professor Von Braun (also known as Leonard Nosferatu), the inventor of the \"Alpha 60\" super-computer which rules Alphaville.\n\"Race to Space\" (2001) James Woods portrays a character that the film's director states was \"clearly modeled\" after von Braun, working on the Mercury program sending the first chimp \"Ham\" (renamed Mac) into space.\nPlanetes (2003): The von Braun is the ship built to make the first manned voyage to the Jovian system. Additionally, the character Wernher Locksmith, the director of the mission, is possibly based on von Braun.\nAlien Planet (TV, 2005): A spacecraft, named VonBraun, is named after him.\nIn an issue of Mad Magazine in the late 1950s, artist Wallace Wood depicted von Braun at the launch of a rocket, ready to listen to a radio transmitting the rocket's signals. Suddenly he says, \"HIMMEL! Vas ist los?\" and then explains, \"Vat iss wrong is vit der RADIO! It iss AC...und der control room iss DC!\"\nIn Warren Ellis' graphic novel Ministry of Space, Von Braun is a supporting character, settling in Britain after WWII, and being essential for the realization of the British Space Program.\nThe Good German by Joseph Kanon. Von Braun and other scientists are said to have been implicated in the use of slave labour at Peenem\u00fcnde; their transfer to the U.S. forms part of the narrative.\nGravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. The plot involves British intelligence attempting to avert and predict V-2 rocket attacks. The work even includes a gyroscopic equation for the V2. The first portion of the novel, \"Beyond The Zero,\" begins with a quote from Braun: \"Nature does not know extinction; all it knows is transformation. Everything science has taught me, and continues to teach me, strengthens my belief in the continuity of our spiritual existence after death.\"\nNew Dictionary, a short story by Kurt Vonnegut in his collection Welcome to the Monkey House notes Von Braun as one of the things an old dictionary doesn't mention.\nMother Night by Kurt Vonnegut has a scene in which a character reads a Life magazine with Von Braun on the cover.\nWernher von Braun (1965): A song written and performed by Tom Lehrer for an episode of NBC's American version of the BBC TV show That Was The Week That Was; the song was later included in Lehrer's album That Was The Year That Was. It was a satire on what some saw as von Braun's cavalier attitude toward the consequences of his work in Nazi Germany: \"'Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? / That's not my department,' says Wernher von Braun.\"\nThe Last Days of Pompeii (1991): A rock opera by Grant Hart's post-H\u00fcsker D\u00fc alternative rock group Nova Mob, in which von Braun features as a character. The album includes a song called Wernher von Braun.\nProgress vs. Pettiness (2005): A song about the Space Race written and performed by The Phenomenauts for their CD Re-Entry. The song begins: \"In 1942 there was Wernher von Braun\u2026\"\nJohn D. Loudermilk's song He's Just A Scientist (That's All) contains the lyric \"Everybody's flippin' over Fabian or Frankie Avalon, but nobody ever seems to give a flip over Dr Werner Von Braun.\"\nIn computer games\nIn the 1999 PC game System Shock 2, the main starship is named the Von Braun.\nIn the 2004 Playstation 2 game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, the character of Nikolai Sokolov portrays many parallels to von Braun, including his CIA-aided defection to the United States, and famed contributions to rocket science. This may however, be a reference to Korolev, considered by many to be the equivalent of Von Braun in the Soviet space project.\n\u2191 Note regarding personal names: Freiherr is a title, translated as Baron, not a first or middle name.

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home 2007 December Death By Medicine\nBy Gary Null, PhD; Carolyn Dean MD, ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Debora Rasio, MD; and Dorothy Smith, PhD\nSomething is wrong when regulatory agencies pretend that vitamins are dangerous, yet ignore published statistics showing that government-sanctioned medicine is the real hazard.\nUntil now, Life Extension could cite only isolated statistics to make its case about the dangers of conventional medicine. No one had ever analyzed and combined ALL of the published literature dealing with injuries and deaths caused by government-protected medicine. That has now changed.\nA group of researchers meticulously reviewed the statistical evidence and their findings are absolutely shocking.4 These researchers have authored a paper titled \u201cDeath by Medicine\u201d\u009d that presents compelling evidence that today\u2019s system frequently causes more harm than good.\nThis fully referenced report shows the number of people having in-hospital, adverse reactions to prescribed drugs to be 2.2 million per year. The number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections is 20 million per year. The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million per year. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million per year.\nThe most stunning statistic, however, is that the total number of deaths caused by conventional medicine is an astounding 783,936 per year. It is now evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the US. (By contrast, the number of deaths attributable to heart disease in 2001 was 699,697, while the number of deaths attributable to cancer was 553,251.5)\nWe placed this article on our website to memorialize the failure of the American medical system. By exposing these gruesome statistics in painstaking detail, we provide a basis for competent and compassionate medical professionals to recognize the inadequacies of today\u2019s system and at least attempt to institute meaningful reforms.\nNatural medicine is under siege, as pharmaceutical company lobbyists urge lawmakers to deprive Americans of the benefits of dietary supplements. Drug-company front groups have launched slanderous media campaigns to discredit the value of healthy lifestyles. The FDA continues to interfere with those who offer natural products that compete with prescription drugs.\nThese attacks against natural medicine obscure a lethal problem that until now was buried in thousands of pages of scientific text. In response to these baseless challenges to natural medicine, the Nutrition Institute of America commissioned an independent review of the quality of \u201cgovernment-approved\u201d\u009d medicine. The startling findings from this meticulous study indicate that conventional medicine is \u201cthe leading cause of death\u201d\u009d in the United States .\nThe Nutrition Institute of America is a nonprofit organization that has sponsored independent research for the past 30 years. To support its bold claim that conventional medicine is America \u2018s number-one killer, the Nutritional Institute of America mandated that every \u201ccount\u201d\u009d in this \u201cindictment\u201d\u009d of US medicine be validated by published, peer-reviewed scientific studies.\nWhat you are about to read is a stunning compilation of facts that documents that those who seek to abolish consumer access to natural therapies are misleading the public. Over 700,000 Americans die each year at the hands of government-sanctioned medicine, while the FDA and other government agencies pretend to protect the public by harassing those who offer safe alternatives.\nA definitive review of medical peer-reviewed journals and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good.\nEach year approximately 2.2 million US hospital patients experience adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to prescribed medications.(1) In 1995, Dr. Richard Besser of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections to be 20 million; in 2003, Dr. Besser spoke in terms of tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually.(2, 2a) Approximately 7.5 million unnecessary medical and surgical procedures are performed annually in the US,(3) while approximately 8.9 million Americans are hospitalized unnecessarily.(4)\nAs shown in the following table, the estimated total number of iatrogenic deaths\u201d\u201dthat is, deaths induced inadvertently by a physician or surgeon or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures\u201d\u201d in the US annually is 783,936. It is evident that the American medical system is itself the leading cause of death and injury in the US . By comparison, approximately 699,697 Americans died of heart in 2001, while 553,251 died of cancer.(5)\nTable 1: Estimated Annual Mortality and Economic Cost of Medical Intervention\nAdverse Drug Reactions 106,000 $12 billion Lazarou(1), Suh (49)\nMedical error 98,000 $2 billion IOM(6)\nBedsores 115,000 $55 billion Xakellis(7), Barczak (8)\nInfection 88,000 $5 billion Weinstein(9), MMWR (10)\nMalnutrition 108,800 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013 Nurses Coalition(11)\nOutpatients 199,000 $77 billion Starfield(12), Weingart(112)\nUnnecessary Procedures 37,136 $122 billion HCUP(3,13)\nSurgery-Related 32,000 $9 billion AHRQ(85)\nUsing Leape\u2019s 1997 medical and drug error rate of 3 million(14) multiplied by the 14% fatality rate he used in 1994(16) produces an annual death rate of 420,000 for drug errors and medical errors combined. Using this number instead of Lazorou\u2019s 106,000 drug errors and the Institute of Medicine \u2018s (IOM) estimated 98,000 annual medical errors would add another 216,000 deaths, for a total of 999,936 deaths annually.\nADR/med error\nLeape(14)\nThe enumerating of unnecessary medical events is very important in our analysis. Any invasive, unnecessary medical procedure must be considered as part of the larger iatrogenic picture. Unfortunately, cause and effect go unmonitored. The figures on unnecessary events represent people who are thrust into a dangerous health care system. Each of these 16.4 million lives is being affected in ways that could have fatal consequences. Simply entering a hospital could result in the following:\nIn 16.4 million people, a 2.1% chance (affecting 186,000) of a serious adverse drug reaction(1)\nIn 16.4 million people, a 5-6% chance (affecting 489,500) of acquiring a nosocomial infection(9)\nIn16.4 million people, a 4-36% chance (affecting 1.78 million) of having an iatrogenic injury (medical error and adverse drug reactions).(16)\nIn 16.4 million people, a 17% chance (affecting 1.3 million) of a procedure error.(40)\nThese statistics represent a one-year time span. Working with the most conservative figures from our statistics, we project the following 10-year death rates.\nTable 3: Estimated 10-Year Death Rates from Medical Intervention\nCondition 10-Year Deaths Author\nOur estimated 10-year total of 7.8 million iatrogenic deaths is more than all the casualties from all the wars fought by the US throughout its entire history.\nOur projected figures for unnecessary medical events occurring over a 10-year period also are dramatic.\nTable 4: Estimated 10-Year Unnecessary Medical Events\nUnnecessary Events\n10-year Number\nIatrogenic Events\n89 million(4)\nThese figures show that an estimated 164 million people\u201d\u201dmore than half of the total US population\u201d\u201dreceive unneeded medical treatment over the course of a decade.\nNever before have the complete statistics on the multiple causes of iatrogenesis been combined in one article. Medical science amasses tens of thousands of papers annually, each representing a tiny fragment of the whole picture. To look at only one piece and try to understand the benefits and risks is like standing an inch away from an elephant and trying to describe everything about it. You have to step back to see the big picture, as we have done here. Each specialty, each division of medicine keeps its own records and data on morbidity and mortality. We have now completed the painstaking work of reviewing thousands of studies and putting pieces of the puzzle together.\nUS health care spending reached $1.6 trillion in 2003, representing 14% of the nation\u2019s gross national product.(15) Considering this enormous expenditure, we should have the best medicine in the world. We should be preventing and reversing disease, and doing minimal harm. Careful and objective review, however, shows we are doing the opposite. Because of the extraordinarily narrow, technologically driven context in which contemporary medicine examines the human condition, we are completely missing the larger picture.\nMedicine is not taking into consideration the following critically important aspects of a healthy human organism: (a) stress and how it adversely affects the immune system and life processes; (b) insufficient exercise; (c) excessive caloric intake; (d) highly processed and denatured foods grown in denatured and chemically damaged soil; and (e) exposure to tens of thousands of environmental toxins. Instead of minimizing these disease-causing factors, we cause more illness through medical technology, diagnostic testing, overuse of medical and surgical procedures, and overuse of pharmaceutical drugs. The huge disservice of this therapeutic strategy is the result of little effort or money being spent on preventing disease.\nAs few as 5% and no more than 20% of iatrogenic acts are ever reported.(16,24,25,33,34) This implies that if medical errors were completely and accurately reported, we would have an annual iatrogenic death toll much higher than 783,936. In 1994, Leape said his figure of 180,000 medical mistakes resulting in death annually was equivalent to three jumbo-jet crashes every two days.(16) Our considerably higher figure is equivalent to six jumbo jets are falling out of the sky each day.\nFor example, a 2003 study found that nearly half of medical school faculty who serve on institutional review boards (IRB) to advise on clinical trial research also serve as consultants to the pharmaceutical industry.(17) The study authors were concerned that such representation could cause potential conflicts of interest. A news release by Dr. Erik Campbell, the lead author, said, \u201cOur previous research with faculty has shown us that ties to industry can affect scientific behavior, leading to such things as trade secrecy and delays in publishing research. It\u2019s possible that similar relationships with companies could affect IRB members\u2019 activities and attitudes.\u201d\u009d(18)\nMedical Ethics and Conflict of Interest in Scientific Medicine\nJonathan Quick, director of essential drugs and medicines policy for the World Health Organization (WHO), wrote in a recent WHO bulletin: \u201cIf clinical trials become a commercial venture in which self-interest overrules public interest and desire overrules science, then the social contract which allows research on human subjects in return for medical advances is broken.\u201d(19)\nAs former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine , Dr. Marcia Angell struggled to bring greater attention to the problem of commercializing scientific research. In her outgoing editorial entitled \u201c Is Academic Medicine for Sale?\u201d\u009d Angell said that growing conflicts of interest are tainting science and called for stronger restrictions on pharmaceutical stock ownership and other financial incentives for researchers:(20) \u201cWhen the boundaries between industry and academic medicine become as blurred as they are now, the business goals of industry influence the mission of medical schools in multiple ways.\u201d\u009d She did not discount the benefits of research but said a Faustian bargain now existed between medical schools and the pharmaceutical industry.\nAngell left the New England Journal in June 2000. In June 2002, the New England Journal of Medicine announced that it would accept journalists who accept money from drug companies because it was too difficult to find ones who have no ties. Another former editor of the journal, Dr. Jerome Kassirer, said that was not the case and that plenty of researchers are available who do not work for drug companies.(21) According to an ABC news report, pharmaceutical companies spend over $2 billion a year on over 314,000 events attended by doctors.\nThe ABC news report also noted that a survey of clinical trials revealed that when a drug company funds a study, there is a 90% chance that the drug will be perceived as effective whereas a non-drug-company-funded study will show favorable results only 50% of the time. It appears that money can\u2019t buy you love but it can buy any \u201cscientific\u201d result desired.\nCynthia Crossen, a staffer for the Wall Street Journal, i n 1996 published Tainted Truth : The Manipulation of Fact in America , a book about the widespread practice of lying with statistics.(22) Commenting on the state of scientific research, she wrote: \u201cThe road to hell was paved with the flood of corporate research dollars that eagerly filled gaps left by slashed government research funding.\u201d\u009d Her data on financial involvement showed that in l981 the drug industry \u201cgave\u201d\u009d $292 million to colleges and universities for research. By l991, this figure had risen to $2.1 billion.\nTHE FIRST IATROGENIC STUDY\nDr. Lucian L. Leape opened medicine\u2019s Pandora\u2019s box in his 1994 paper, \u201cError in Medicine,\u201d\u009d which appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).(16) He found that Schimmel reported in 1964 that 20% of hospital patients suffered iatrogenic injury, with a 20% fatality rate. In 1981 Steel reported that 36% of hospitalized patients experienced iatrogenesis with a 25% fatality rate, and adverse drug reactions were involved in 50% of the injuries. In 1991, Bedell reported that 64% of acute heart attacks in one hospital were preventable and were mostly due to adverse drug reactions.\nLeape focused on the \u201cHarvard Medical Practice Study\u201d\u009d published in 1991, (16a) which found a 4% iatrogenic injury rate for patients, with a 14% fatality rate, in 1984 in New York State. From the 98,609 patients injured and the 14% fatality rate, he estimated that in the entire U.S. 180,000 people die each year partly as a result of iatrogenic injury.\nLeape acknowledged that the literature on medical errors is sparse and represents only the tip of the iceberg, noting that when errors are specifically sought out, reported rates are \u201cdistressingly high.\u201d\u009d He cited several autopsy studies with rates as high as 35-40% of missed diagnoses causing death. He also noted that an intensive care unit reported an average of 1.7 errors per day per patient, and 29% of those errors were potentially serious or fatal.\nLeape calculated the error rate in the intensive care unit study. First, he found that each patient had an average of 178 \u201cactivities\u201d\u009d (staff/procedure/medical interactions) a day, of which 1.7 were errors, which means a 1% failure rate. This may not seem like much, but Leape cited industry standards showing that in aviation, a 0.1% failure rate would mean two unsafe plane landings per day at Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare International Airport; in the US Postal Service, a 0.1% failure rate would mean 16,000 pieces of lost mail every hour; and in the banking industry, a 0.1% failure rate would mean 32,000 bank checks deducted from the wrong bank account.\nIn trying to determine why there are so many medical errors, Leape acknowledged the lack of reporting of medical errors. Medical errors occur in thousands of different locations and are perceived as isolated and unusual events. But the most important reason that the problem of medical errors is unrecognized and growing, according to Leape, is that doctors and nurses are unequipped to deal with human error because of the culture of medical training and practice. Doctors are taught that mistakes are unacceptable. Medical mistakes are therefore viewed as a failure of character and any error equals negligence. No one is taught what to do when medical errors do occur. Leape cites McIntyre and Popper, who said the \u201cinfallibility model\u201d\u009d of medicine leads to intellectual dishonesty with a need to cover up mistakes rather than admit them. There are no Grand Rounds on medical errors, no sharing of failures among doctors, and no one to support them emotionally when their error harms a patient.\nLeape hoped his paper would encourage medical practitioners \u201cto fundamentally change the way they think about errors and why they occur.\u201d\u009d It has been almost a decade since this groundbreaking work, but the mistakes continue to soar.\nIn 1995, a JAMA report noted, \u201cOver a million patients are injured in US hospitals each year, and approximately 280,000 die annually as a result of these injuries. Therefore, the iatrogenic death rate dwarfs the annual automobile accident mortality rate of 45,000 and accounts for more deaths than all other accidents combined.\u201d(23)\nAt a 1997 press conference, Leape released a nationwide poll on patient iatrogenesis conducted by the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF), which is sponsored by the American Medical Association (AMA). Leape is a founding member of NPSF. The survey found that more than 100 million Americans have been affected directly or indirectly by a medical mistake. Forty-two percent were affected directly and 84% personally knew of someone who had experienced a medical mistake.(14)\nAt this press conference, Leape updated his 1994 statistics, noting that as of 1997, medical errors in inpatient hospital settings nationwide could be as high as 3 million and could cost as much as $200 billion . Leape used a 14% fatality rate to determine a medical error death rate of 180,000 in 1994.(16) In 1997, using Leape\u2019s base number of 3 million errors, the annual death rate could be as high as 420,000 for hospital inpatients alone.\nIn 1994, Leape said he was well aware that medical errors were not being reported.(16) A study conducted in two obstetrical units in the UK found that only about one-quarter of adverse incidents were ever reported, to protect staff, preserve reputations, or for fear of reprisals, including lawsuits.(24). An analysis by Wald and Shojania found that only 1.5% of all adverse events result in an incident report, and only 6% of adverse drug events are identified properly. The authors learned that the American College of Surgeons estimates that surgical incident reports routinely capture only 5-30% of adverse events. In one study, only 20% of surgical complications resulted in discussion at morbidity and mortality rounds.(25) From these studies, it appears that all the statistics gathered on medical errors may substantially underestimate the number of adverse drug and medical therapy incidents. They also suggest that our statistics concerning mortality resulting from medical errors may be in fact be conservative figures.\nAn article in Psychiatric Times (April 2000) outlines the stakes involved in reporting medical errors.(26) The authors found that the public is fearful of suffering a fatal medical error, and doctors are afraid they will be sued if they report an error. This brings up the obvious question: who is reporting medical errors? Usually it is the patient or the patient\u2019s surviving family. If no one notices the error, it is never reported. Janet Heinrich, an associate director at the U.S. General Accounting Office responsible for health financing and public health issues, testified before a House subcommittee hearing on medical errors that \u201cthe full magnitude of their threat to the American public is unknown\u201d\u009d and \u201cgathering valid and useful information about adverse events is extremely difficult.\u201d She acknowledged that the fear of being blamed, and the potential for legal liability, played key roles in the underreporting of errors. The Psychiatric Times noted that the AMA strongly opposes mandatory reporting of medical errors.(26) If doctors are not reporting, what about nurses? A survey of nurses found that they also fail to report medical mistakes for fear of retaliation.(27)\nStandard medical pharmacology texts admit that relatively few doctors ever report adverse drug reactions to the FDA.(28) The reasons range from not knowing such a reporting system exists to fear of being sued.(29) Yet the public depends on this tremendously flawed system of voluntary reporting by doctors to know whether a drug or a medical intervention is harmful.\nPharmacology texts also will tell doctors how hard it is to separate drug side effects from disease symptoms. Treatment failure is most often attributed to the disease and not the drug or doctor. Doctors are warned, \u201cProbably nowhere else in professional life are mistakes so easily hidden, even from ourselves.\u201d\u009d(30) It may be hard to accept, but it is not difficult to understand why only 1 in 20 side effects is reported to either hospital administrators or the FDA.(31, 31a)\nIf hospitals admitted to the actual number of errors for which they are responsible, which is about 20 times what is reported, they would come under intense scrutiny.(32) Jerry Phillips, associate director of the FDA\u2019s Office of Post Marketing Drug Risk Assessment, confirms this number. \u201cIn the broader area of adverse drug reaction data, the 250,000 reports received annually probably represent only 5% of the actual reactions that occur.\u201d\u009d(33) Dr. Jay Cohen, who has extensively researched adverse drug reactions, notes that because only 5% of adverse drug reactions are reported, there are in fact 5 million medication reactions each year.(34)\nA 2003 survey is all the more distressing because there seems to be no improvement in error reporting, even with all the attention given to this topic. Dr. Dorothea Wild surveyed medical residents at a community hospital in Connecticut and found that only half were aware that the hospital had a medical error-reporting system, and that the vast majority did not use it at all. Dr. Wild says this does not bode well for the future. If doctors don\u2019t learn error reporting in their training, they will never use it. Wild adds that error reporting is the first step in locating the gaps in the medical system and fixing them. Not even that first step has been taken to date.(35)\nIn a telephone survey, 1,207 adults ranked the effectiveness of the following measures in reducing preventable medical errors that result in serious harm.(36) (Following each measure is the percentage of respondents who ranked the measure as \u201cvery effective.\u201d\u009d)\ngiving doctors more time to spend with patients (78%)\nrequiring hospitals to develop systems to avoid medical errors (74%)\nbetter training of health professionals (73%)\nusing only doctors specially trained in intensive care medicine on intensive care units (73%)\nrequiring hospitals to report all serious medical errors to a state agency (71%)\nincreasing the number of hospital nurses (69%)\nreducing the work hours of doctors in training to avoid fatigue (66%)\nencouraging hospitals to voluntarily report serious medical errors to a state agency (62%).\nDRUG IATROGENESIS\nPrescription drugs constitute the major treatment modality of scientific medicine. With the discovery of the \u201cgerm theory,\u201d\u009d medical scientists convinced the public that infectious organisms were the cause of illness. Finding the \u201ccure\u201d\u009d for these infections proved much harder than anyone imagined. From the beginning, chemical drugs promised much more than they delivered. But far beyond not working, the drugs also caused incalculable side effects. The drugs themselves, even when properly prescribed, have side effects that can be fatal, as Lazarou\u2019s study(1) showed. But human error can make the situation even worse.\nA survey of a 1992 national pharmacy database found a total of 429,827 medication errors from 1,081 hospitals. Medication errors occurred in 5.22% of patients admitted to these hospitals each year. The authors concluded that at least 90,895 patients annually were harmed by medication errors in the US as a whole.(37)\nA 2002 study shows that 20% of hospital medications for patients had dosage errors. Nearly 40% of these errors were considered potentially harmful to the patient. In a typical 300-patient hospital, the number of errors per day was 40.(38)\nProblems involving patients\u2019 medications were even higher the following year. The error rate intercepted by pharmacists in this study was 24%, making the potential minimum number of patients harmed by prescription drugs 417,908.(39)\nRecent Adverse Drug Reactions\nMore-recent studies on adverse drug reactions show that the figures from 1994 published in Lazarou\u2019s 1998 JAMA article may be increasing. A 2003 study followed 400 patients after discharge from a tertiary care hospital setting (requiring highly specialized skills, technology, or support services). Seventy-six patients (19%) had adverse events. Adverse drug events were the most common, at 66% of all events. The next most common event was procedure-related injuries, at 17%.(40)\nIn a New England Journal of Medicine study, an alarming one in four patients suffered observable side effects from the more than 3.34 billion prescription drugs filled in 2002.(41) One of the doctors who produced the study was interviewed by Reuters and commented, \u201cWith these 10-minute appointments, it\u2019s hard for the doctor to get into whether the symptoms are bothering the patients.\u201d(42) William Tierney, who editorialized on the New England Journal study, said \u201c\u2026 given the increasing number of powerful drugs available to care for the aging population, the problem will only get worse.\u201d\u009d The drugs with the worst record of side effects were selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ( SSRIs), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and calcium-channel blockers. Reuters also reported that prior research has suggested that nearly 5% of hospital admissions (over 1 million per year) are the result of drug side effects. But most of the cases are not documented as such. The study found that one of the reasons for this failure is that in nearly two-thirds of the cases, doctors could not diagnose drug side effects or the side effects persisted because the doctor failed to heed the warning signs.\nMedicating Our Feelings\nPatients seeking a more joyful existence and relief from worry, stress, and anxiety often fall victim to the messages endlessly displayed on TV and billboards. Often, instead of gaining relief, they fall victim to the myriad iatrogenic side effects of antidepressant medication.\nMoreover, a whole generation of antidepressant users has been created from young people growing up on Ritalin. Medicating youth and modifying their emotions must have some impact on how they learn to deal with their feelings. They learn to equate coping with drugs rather than with their inner resources. As adults, these medicated youth reach for alcohol, drugs, or even street drugs to cope. According to JAMA , \u201cRitalin acts much like cocaine.\u201d\u009d(43) Today\u2019s marketing of mood-modifying drugs such as Prozac and Zoloft \u00ae makes them not only socially acceptable but almost a necessity in today\u2019s stressful world.\nTelevision Diagnosis\nTo reach the widest audience possible, drug companies are no longer just targeting medical doctors with their marketing of antidepressants. By 1995, drug companies had tripled the amount of money allotted to direct advertising of prescription drugs to consumers. The majority of this money is spent on seductive television ads. From 1996 to 2000, spending rose from $791 million to nearly $2.5 billion.(44) This $2.5 billion represents only 15% of the total pharmaceutical advertising budget. While the drug companies maintain that direct-to-consumer advertising is educational, Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe of the Public Citizen Health Research Group in Washington, DC, argues that the public often is misinformed about these ads.(45) People want what they see on television and are told to go to their doctors for a prescription. Doctors in private practice either acquiesce to their patients\u2019 demands for these drugs or spend valuable time trying to talk patients out of unnecessary drugs. Dr. Wolfe remarks that one important study found that people mistakenly believe that the \u201cFDA reviews all ads before they are released and allows only the safest and most effective drugs to be promoted directly to the public.\u201d\u009d(46)\nHow Do We Know Drugs Are Safe?\nAnother aspect of scientific medicine that the public takes for granted is the testing of new drugs. Drugs generally are tested on individuals who are fairly healthy and not on other medications that could interfere with findings. But when these new drugs are declared \u201csafe\u201d\u009d and enter the drug prescription books, they are naturally going to be used by people who are on a variety of other medications and have a lot of other health problems. Then a new phase of drug testing called \u201cpost-approval\u201d\u009d comes into play, which is the documentation of side effects once drugs hit the market. In one very telling report, the federal government\u2019s General Accounting Office \u201cfound that of the 198 drugs approved by the FDA between 1976 and 1985\u2026 102 (or 51.5%) had serious post-approval risks\u2026 the serious post-approval risks (included) heart failure, myocardial infarction, anaphylaxis, respiratory depression and arrest, seizures, kidney and liver failure, severe blood disorders, birth defects and fetal toxicity, and blindness.\u201d(47)\nNBC Television\u2019s investigative show \u201cDateline\u201d\u009d wondered if your doctor is moonlighting as a drug company representative. After a yearlong investigation, NBC reported that because doctors can legally prescribe any drug to any patient for any condition, drug companies heavily promote \u201coff label\u201d and frequently inappropriate and untested uses of these medications, even though these drugs are approved only for the specific indications for which they have been tested.(48)\nThe leading causes of adverse drug reactions are antibiotics (17%), cardiovascular drugs (17%), chemotherapy (15%), and analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents (15%).(49)\nSpecific Drug Iatrogenesis: Antibiotics\nAccording to William Agger, MD, director of microbiology and chief of infectious disease at Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, WI, 30 million pounds of antibiotics are used in America each year.(50) Of this amount, 25 million pounds are used in animal husbandry, and 23 million pounds are used to try to prevent disease and the stress of shipping, as well as to promote growth. Only 2 million pounds are given for specific animal infections. Dr. Agger reminds us that low concentrations of antibiotics are measurable in many of our foods and in various waterways around the world, much of it seeping in from animal farms.\nAgger contends that overuse of antibiotics results in food-borne infections resistant to antibiotics. Salmonella is found in 20% of ground meat, but the constant exposure of cattle to antibiotics has made 84% of salmonella resistant to at least one anti-salmonella antibiotic. Diseased animal food accounts for 80% of salmonellosis in humans, or 1.4 million cases per year. The conventional approach to countering this epidemic is to radiate food to try to kill all organisms while continuing to use the antibiotics that created the problem in the first place. Approximately 20% of chickens are contaminated with Campylobacter jejuni, an organism that causes 2.4 million cases of illness annually. Fifty-four percent of these organisms are resistant to at least one anti-campylobacter antimicrobial agent.\nDenmark banned growth-promoting antibiotics beginning in 1999, which cut their use by more than half within a year, from 453,200 to 195,800 pounds. A report from Scandinavia found that removing antibiotic growth promoters had no or minimal effect on food production costs. Agger warns that the current crowded, unsanitary methods of animal farming in the US support constant stress and infection, and are geared toward high antibiotic use.\nIn the US, over 3 million pounds of antibiotics are used every year on humans. With a population of 284 million Americans, this amount is enough to give every man, woman, and child 10 teaspoons of pure antibiotics per year. Agger says that exposure to a steady stream of antibiotics has altered pathogens such as Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staplococcus aureus, and entercocci, to name a few.\nAlmost half of patients with upper respiratory tract infections in the U.S. still receive antibiotics from their doctor.(51) According to the CDC, 90% of upper respiratory infections are viral and should not be treated with antibiotics. In Germany, the prevalence of systemic antibiotic use in children aged 0-6 years was 42.9%.(52)\nData obtained from nine US health insurers on antibiotic use in 25,000 children from 1996 to 2000 found that rates of antibiotic use decreased. Antibiotic use in children aged three months to under 3 years decreased 24%, from 2.46 to 1.89 antibiotic prescriptions per patient per year. For children aged 3 to under 6 years, there was a 25% reduction from 1.47 to 1.09 antibiotic prescriptions per patient per year. And for children aged 6 to under 18 years, there was a 16% reduction from 0.85 to 0.69 antibiotic prescriptions per patient per year.(53) Despite these reductions, the data indicate that on average every child in America receives 1.22 antibiotic prescriptions annually.\nGroup A beta-hemolytic streptococci is the only common cause of sore throat that requires antibiotics, with penicillin and erythromycin the only recommended treatment. Ninety percent of sore-throat cases, however, are viral. Antibiotics were used in 73% of the estimated 6.7 million adult annual visits for sore throat in the US between 1989 and 1999. Furthermore, patients treated with antibiotics were prescribed non-recommended broad-spectrum antibiotics in 68% of visits. This period saw a significant increase in the use of newer, more expensive broad-spectrum antibiotics and a decrease in use of the recommended antibiotics penicillin and erythromycin.(54) A ntibiotics being prescribed in 73% of sore-throat cases instead of the recommended 10% resulted in a total of 4.2 million unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions from 1989 to 1999.\nThe Problem with Antibiotics\nIn September 2003, the CDC re-launched a program started in 1995 called \u201cGet Smart: Know When Antibiotics Work.\u201d\u009d(55) This $1.6 million campaign is designed to educate patients about the overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics. Most people involved with alternative medicine have known about the dangers of antibiotic overuse for decades. Finally the government is focusing on the problem, yet it is spending only a miniscule amount of money on an iatrogenic epidemic that is costing billions of dollars and thousands of lives. The CDC warns that 90% of upper respiratory infections, including children\u2019s ear infections, are viral and that antibiotics do not treat viral infection. More than 40% of about 50 million prescriptions for antibiotics written each year in physicians\u2019 offices are inappropriate.(2) U sing antibiotics when not needed can lead to the development of deadly strains of bacteria that are resistant to drugs and cause more than 88,000 deaths due to hospital-acquired infections.(9) The CDC, however, seems to be blaming patients for misusing antibiotics even though they are available only by prescription from physicians. According to Dr. Richard Besser, head of \u201cGet Smart\u201d\u009d: \u201cPrograms that have just targeted physicians have not worked. Direct-to-consumer advertising of drugs is to blame in some cases.\u201d\u009d Besser says the program \u201cteaches patients and the general public that antibiotics are precious resources that must be used correctly if we want to have them around when we need them. Hopefully, as a result of this campaign, patients will feel more comfortable asking their doctors for the best care for their illnesses, rather than asking for antibiotics.\u201d(56)\nWhat constitutes the \u201cbest care\u201d\u009d? The CDC does not elaborate and ignores the latest research on the dozens of nutraceuticals that have been scientifically proven to treat viral infections and boost immune-system function. Will doctors recommend vitamin C, echinacea, elderberry, vitamin A, zinc, or homeopathic oscillococcinum? Probably not. The CDC\u2019s common-sense recommendations that most people follow anyway include getting proper rest, drinking plenty of fluids, and using a humidifier.\nThe pharmaceutical industry claims it supports limiting the use of antibiotics. The drug company Bayer sponsors a program called \u201cOperation Clean Hands\u201d\u009d through an organization called LIBRA.(57) The CDC also is involved in trying to minimize antibiotic resistance, but nowhere in its publications is there any reference to the role of nutraceuticals in boosting the immune system, nor to the thousands of journal articles that support this approach. This tunnel vision and refusal to recommend the available non-drug alternatives is unfortunate when the CDC is desperately trying to curb the overuse of antibiotics.\nDrugs Pollute Our Water Supply\nWe have reached the point of saturation with prescription drugs. Every body of water tested contains measurable drug residues. The tons of antibiotics used in animal farming, which run off into the water table and surrounding bodies of water, are conferring antibiotic resistance to germs in sewage, and these germs also are found in our water supply. Flushed down our toilets are tons of drugs and drug metabolites that also find their way into our water supply. We have no way to know the long-term health consequences of ingesting a mixture of drugs and drug-breakdown products. These drugs represent another level of iatrogenic disease that we are unable to completely measure.(58-67)\nSpecific Drug Iatrogenesis: NSAIDs\nIt\u2019s not just the US that is plagued by iatrogenesis. A survey of more than 1,000 French general practitioners (GPs) tested their basic pharmacological knowledge and practice in prescribing NSAIDs, which rank first among commonly prescribed drugs for serious adverse reactions. The study results suggest that GPs do not have adequate knowledge of these drugs and are unable to effectively manage adverse reactions.(68)\nA cross-sectional survey of 125 patients attending specialty pain clinics in South London found that possible iatrogenic factors such as \u201cover-investigation, inappropriate information, and advice given to patients as well as misdiagnosis, over-treatment, and inappropriate prescription of medication were common.\u201d\u009d(69)\nSpecific Drug Iatrogenesis: Cancer Chemotherapy\nIn 1989, German biostatistician Ulrich Abel, PhD, wrote a monograph entitled \u201cChemotherapy of Advanced Epithelial Cancer.\u201d\u009d It was later published in shorter form in a peer-reviewed medical journal.(70) Abel presented a comprehensive analysis of clinical trials and publications representing over 3,000 articles examining the value of cytotoxic chemotherapy on advanced epithelial cancer. Epithelial cancer is the type of cancer with which we are most familiar, arising from epithelium found in the lining of body organs such as the breast, prostate, lung, stomach, and bowel. From these sites, cancer usually infiltrates adjacent tissue and spreads to the bone, liver, lung, or brain. With his exhaustive review, Abel concluded there is no direct evidence that chemotherapy prolongs survival in patients with advanced carcinoma; in small-cell lung cancer and perhaps ovarian cancer, the therapeutic benefit is only slight. According to Abel, \u201cMany oncologists take it for granted that response to therapy prolongs survival, an opinion which is based on a fallacy and which is not supported by clinical studies.\u201d\u009d\nOver a decade after Abel\u2019s exhaustive review of chemotherapy, there seems no decrease in its use for advanced carcinoma. For example, when conventional chemotherapy and radiation have not worked to prevent metastases in breast cancer, high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) along with stem-cell transplant (SCT) is the treatment of choice. In March 2000, however, results from the largest multi-center randomized controlled trial conducted thus far showed that, compared to a prolonged course of monthly conventional-dose chemotherapy, HDC and SCT were of no benefit, (71) with even a slightly lower survival rate for the HDC/SCT group. Serious adverse effects occurred more often in the HDC group than the standard-dose group. One treatment-related death (within 100 days of therapy) was recorded in the HDC group, but none was recorded in the conventional chemotherapy group. The women in this trial were highly selected as having the best chance to respond.\nUnfortunately, no all-encompassing follow-up study such as Dr. Abel\u2019s exists to indicate whether there has been any improvement in cancer-survival statistics since 1989. In fact, research should be conducted to determine whether chemotherapy itself is responsible for secondary cancers instead of progression of the original disease. We continue to question why well-researched alternative cancer treatments are not used.\nDrug Companies Fined\nPeriodically, the FDA fines a drug manufacturer when its abuses are too glaring and impossible to cover up. In May 2002, The Washington Post reported that Schering-Plough Corp., the maker of Claritin, was to pay a $500 million dollar fine to the FDA for quality-control problems at four of its factories.(72) The indictment came after the Public Citizen Health Research Group, led by Dr. Sidney Wolfe, called for a criminal investigation of Schering-Plough, charging that the company distributed albuterol asthma inhalers even though it knew the units were missing the active ingredient.\nThe FDA tabulated infractions involving 125 products, or 90% of the drugs made by Schering-Plough since 1998. Besides paying the fine, the company was forced to halt the manufacture of 73 drugs or suffer another $175 million fine. Schering-Plough\u2019s news releases told another story, assuring consumers that they should still feel confident in the company\u2019s products.\nThis large settlement served as a warning to the drug industry about maintaining strict manufacturing practices and has given the FDA more clout in dealing with drug company compliance. According to The Washington Post article, a federal appeals court ruled in 1999 that the FDA could seize the profits of companies that violate \u201cgood manufacturing practices.\u201d Since that time, Abbott Laboratories has paid a $100 million fine for failing to meet quality standards in the production of medical test kits, while Wyeth Laboratories paid $30 million in 2000 to settle accusations of poor manufacturing practices.\nUNNECESSARY SURGICAL PROCEDURES\nIn 1974, 2.4 million unnecessary surgeries were performed, resulting in 11,900 deaths at a cost of $3.9 billion.(73,74) In 2001, 7.5 million unnecessary surgical procedures were performed, resulting in 37,136 deaths at a cost of $122 billion (using 1974 dollars).(3)\nIt is very difficult to obtain accurate statistics when studying unnecessary surgery. In 1989, Leape wrote that perhaps 30% of controversial surgeries\u201d\u201dwhich include cesarean section, tonsillectomy, appendectomy, hysterectomy, gastrectomy for obesity, breast implants, and elective breast implants(74)\u201d\u201d are unnecessary. In 1974, the Congressional Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce held hearings on unnecessary surgery. It found that 17.6% of recommendations for surgery were not confirmed by a second opinion. The House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations extrapolated these figures and estimated that, on a nationwide basis, there were 2.4 million unnecessary surgeries performed annually, resulting in 11,900 deaths at an annual cost of $3.9 billion.(73)\nAccording to the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project within the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality(13), in 2001 the 50 most common medical and surgical procedures were performed approximately 41.8 million times in the US. Using the 1974 House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations\u2019 figure of 17.6% as the percentage of unnecessary surgical procedures, and extrapolating from the death rate in 1974, produces nearly 7.5 million (7,489,718) unnecessary procedures and a death rate of 37,136, at a cost of $122 billion (using 1974 dollars).\nIn 1995, researchers conducted a similar analysis of back surgery procedures, using the 1974 \u201cunnecessary surgery percentage\u201d\u009d of 17.6. Testifying before the Department of Veterans Affairs, they estimated that of the 250,000 back surgeries performed annually in the US at a hospital cost of $11,000 per patient, the total number of unnecessary back surgeries approaches 44,000, costing as much as $484 million.(75)\nLike prescription drug use driven by television advertising, unnecessary surgeries are escalating. Media-driven surgery such as gastric bypass for obesity \u201cmodeled\u201d\u009d by Hollywood celebrities seduces obese people to think this route is safe and sexy. Unnecessary surgeries have even been marketed on the Internet.(76) A study in Spain declares that 20-25% of total surgical practice represents unnecessary operations.(77)\nAccording to data from the National Center for Health Statistics for 1979 to 1984, the total number of surgical procedures increased 9% while the number of surgeons grew 20%. The study notes that the large increase in the number of surgeons was not accompanied by a parallel increase in the number of surgeries performed, and expressed concern about an excess of surgeons to handle the surgical caseload.(78)\nFrom 1983 to 1994, however, the incidence of the 10 most commonly performed surgical procedures jumped 38%, to 7,929,000 from 5,731,000 cases. By 1994, cataract surgery was the most common procedure with more than 2 million operations, followed by cesarean section (858,000 procedures) and inguinal hernia operations (689,000 procedures). Knee arthroscopy procedures increased 153% while prostate surgery declined 29%.(79)\nThe list of iatrogenic complications from surgery is as long as the list of procedures themselves. One study examined catheters that were inserted to deliver anesthetic into the epidural space around the spinal nerves for lower cesarean section, abdominal surgery, or prostate surgery. In some cases, non-sterile technique during catheter insertion resulted in serious infections, even leading to limb paralysis.(80)\nIn one review of the literature, the authors found \u201ca significant rate of overutilization of coronary angiography, coronary artery surgery, cardiac pacemaker insertion, upper gastrointestinal endoscopies, carotid endarterectomies, back surgery, and pain-relieving procedures.\u201d\u009d(81)\nA 1987 JAMA study found the following significant levels of inappropriate surgery: 17% of coronary angiography procedures, 32% of carotid endarterectomy procedures, and 17% of upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy procedures.(82) Based on the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) statistics provided by the government for 2001, 697,675 upper gastrointestinal endoscopies (usually entailing biopsy) were performed, as were 142,401 endarterectomies and 719,949 coronary angiographies.(13) Extrapolating the JAMA study\u2019s inappropriate surgery rates to 2001 produces 118,604 unnecessary endoscopy procedures, 45,568 unnecessary endarterectomies, and 122,391 unnecessary coronary angiographies. These are all forms of medical iatrogenesis.\nIt is instructive to know the mortality rates associated with various medical and surgical procedures. Although we must sign release forms when we undergo any procedure, many of us are in denial about the true risks involved; because medical and surgical procedures are so commonplace, they often are seen as both necessary and safe. Unfortunately, allopathic medicine itself is a leading cause of death, as well as the most expensive way to die.\nPerhaps the words \u201chealth care\u201d\u009d confer the illusion that medicine is about health. Allopathic medicine is not a purveyor of health care but of disease care. The HCUP figures are instructive,(13) but the computer program that calculates annual mortality statistics for all US hospital discharges is only as good as the codes entered into the system. In email correspondence, HCUP indicated that the mortality rates for each procedure indicated only that someone undergoing that procedure died either from the procedure or from some other cause.\nThus there is no way of knowing exactly how many people die from a particular procedure. While codes for \u201cpoisoning & toxic effects of drugs\u201d\u009d and \u201ccomplications of treatment\u201d\u009d do exist, the mortality figures registered in these categories are very low and do not correlate with what is known from research such as the 1998 JAMA study(1) that estimated an average of 106,000 prescription medication deaths per year. No codes exist for adverse drug side effects, surgical mishaps, or other types of medical error. Until such codes exist, the true mortality rates tied to of medical error will remain buried in the general statistics.\nAN HONEST LOOK AT US HEALTH CARE\nIn 1978, the US Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) reported: \u201cOnly 10-20% of all procedures currently used in medical practice have been shown to be efficacious by controlled trial.\u201d(83) In 1995, the OTA compared medical technology in eight countries ( Australia , Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the UK, and the US ) and again noted that few medical procedures in the US have been subjected to clinical trial. It also reported that US infant mortality was high and life expectancy low compared to other developed countries.(84)\nAlthough almost 10 years old, much of what was written in the OTA report holds true today. The report blames the high cost of American medicine on the medical free-enterprise system and failure to create a national health care policy. It attributes the government\u2019s failure to control health care costs to market incentives and profit motives inherent in the current financing and organization of health care, which includes such interests as private health insurers, hospital systems, physicians, and the drug and medical-device industries. \u201cHealth Care Technology and Its Assessment in Eight Countries\u201d\u009d is the last report prepared by the OTA, which was disbanded in 1995. It also is perhaps the US government\u2019s last honest, detailed examination of the nation\u2019s health care system. An appendix summarizing this 60-page report follows this article.\nSURGICAL ERRORS FINALLY REPORTED\nAn October 2003 JAMA study from the US government\u2019s Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) documented 32,000 mostly surgery-related deaths costing $9 billion and accounting for 2.4 million extra hospital days in 2000.(85) Data from 20% of the nation\u2019s hospitals were analyzed for 18 different surgical complications, including postoperative infections, foreign objects left in wounds, surgical wounds reopening, and post-operative bleeding.\nIn a press release accompanying the study, AHRQ director Carolyn M. Clancy, MD, noted: \u201cThis study gives us the first direct evidence that medical injuries pose a real threat to the American public and increase the costs of health care.\u201d\u009d(86) According to the study\u2019s authors, \u201cThe findings greatly underestimate the problem, since many other complications happen that are not listed in hospital administrative data.\u201d\u009d They added: \u201cThe message here is that medical injuries can have a devastating impact on the health care system. We need more research to identify why these injuries occur and find ways to prevent them from happening.\u201d The study authors said that improved medical practices, including an emphasis on better hand washing, might help reduce morbidity and mortality rates. In an accompanying JAMA editorial, health-risk researcher Dr. Saul Weingart of Harvard\u2019s Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center wrote, \u201cGiven their staggering magnitude, these estimates are clearly sobering.\u201d\u009d(87)\nUNNECESSARY X-RAYS\nWhen x-rays were discovered, no one knew the long-term effects of ionizing radiation. In the 1950s, monthly fluoroscopic exams at the doctor\u2019s office were routine, and you could even walk into most shoe stores and see x-rays of your foot bones. We still do not know the ultimate outcome of our initial fascination with x-rays.\nIn those days, it was common practice to x-ray pregnant women to measure their pelvises and make a diagnosis of twins. Finally, a study of 700,000 children born between 1947 and 1964 in 37 major maternity hospitals compared the children of mothers who had received pelvic x-rays during pregnancy to those of mothers who did not. It found that cancer mortality was 40% higher among children whose mothers had been x-rayed.(88)\nIn present-day medicine, coronary angiography is an invasive surgical procedure that involves snaking a tube through a blood vessel in the groin up to the heart. To obtain useful information, X-rays are taken almost continuously, with minimum dosages ranging from 460 to 1,580 mrem. The minimum radiation from a routine chest x-ray is 2 mrem. X-ray radiation accumulates in the body, and ionizing radiation used in X-ray procedures has been shown to cause gene mutation. The health impact of this high level of radiation is unknown, and often obscured in statistical jargon such as, \u201cThe risk for lifetime fatal cancer due to radiation exposure is estimated to be 4 in one million per 1,000 mrem.\u201d\u009d(89)\nDr. John Gofman has studied the effects of radiation on human health for 45 years. A medical doctor with a PhD in nuclear and physical chemistry, Gofman worked on the Manhattan Project, discovered uranium-233, and was the first person to isolate plutonium. In five scientifically documented books, Gofman provides strong evidence that medical technology\u201d\u201dspecifically x-rays, CT scans, and mammography and fluoroscopy devices\u201d\u201dare a contributing factor to 75% of new cancers. In a nearly 700-page report updated in 2000, \u201cRadiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease: Dose-Response Studies with Physicians per 100,000 Population,\u201d\u009d(90) Gofman shows that as the number of physicians increases in a geographical area along with an increase in the number of x-ray diagnostic tests performed, the rate of cancer and ischemic heart disease also increases. Gofman elaborates that it is not x-rays alone that cause the damage but a combination of health risk factors that include poor diet, smoking, abortions, and the use of birth control pills. Dr. Gofman predicts that ionizing radiation will be responsible for 100 million premature deaths over the next decade.\nIn his book, \u201cPreventing Breast Cancer,\u201d\u009d Dr. Gofman notes that breast cancer is the leading cause of death among American women between the ages of 44 and 55. Because breast tissue is highly sensitive to radiation, mammograms can cause cancer. The danger can be heightened other factors including a woman\u2019s genetic makeup, preexisting benign breast disease, artificial menopause, obesity, and hormonal imbalance.(91)\nEven x-rays for back pain can lead someone into crippling surgery. Dr. John E. Sarno, a well-known New York orthopedic surgeon, found that there is not necessarily any association between back pain and spinal x-ray abnormality. He cites studies of normal people without a trace of back pain whose x-rays indicate spinal abnormalities and of people with back pain whose spines appear to be normal on x-ray.(92) People who happen to have back pain and show an abnormality on x-ray may be treated surgically, sometimes with no change in back pain, worsening of back pain, or even permanent disability. Moreover, doctors often order x-rays as protection against malpractice claims, to give the impression of leaving no stone unturned. It appears that doctors are putting their own fears before the interests of their patients.\nNearly 9 million (8,925,033) people were hospitalized unnecessarily in 2001.(4) In a study of inappropriate hospitalization, two doctors reviewed 1,132 medical records. They concluded that 23% of all admissions were inappropriate and an additional 17% could have been handled in outpatient clinics. Thirty-four percent of all hospital days were deemed inappropriate and could have been avoided.(93) The rate of inappropriate hospital admissions in 1990 was 23.5%.(94) In 1999, another study also found an inappropriate admissions rate of 24%, indicating a consistent pattern from 1986 to 1999.(95) The HCUP database indicates that the total number of patient discharges from US hospitals in 2001 was 37,187,641,(13) meaning that almost 9 million people were exposed to unnecessary medical intervention in hospitals and therefore represent almost 9 million potential iatrogenic episodes.(4)\nWOMEN\u2019S EXPERIENCE IN MEDICINE\nDr. Martin Charcot (1825-1893) was world-renowned, the most celebrated doctor of his time. He practiced in the Paris hospital La Salpetriere. He became an expert in hysteria, diagnosing an average of 10 hysterical women each day, transforming them into \u201ciatrogenic monsters\u201d\u009d and turning simple \u201cneurosis\u201d\u009d into hysteria.(96) The number of women diagnosed with hysteria and hospitalized rose from 1% in 1841 to 17% in 1883. Hysteria is derived from the Latin \u201chystera\u201d\u009d meaning uterus. According to Dr. Adriane Fugh-Berman, US medicine has a tradition of excessive medical and surgical interventions on women. Only 100 years ago, male doctors believed that female psychological imbalance originated in the uterus. When surgery to remove the uterus was perfected, it became the \u201ccure\u201d\u009d for mental instability, effecting a physical and psychological castration. Fugh-Berman notes that US doctors eventually disabused themselves of that notion but have continued to treat women very differently than they treat men.(97) She cites the following statistics:\nThousands of prophylactic mastectomies are performed annually.\nOne-third of US women have had a hysterectomy before menopause.\nWomen are prescribed drugs more frequently than are men.\nWomen are given potent drugs for disease prevention, which results in disease substitution due to side effects.\nFetal monitoring is unsupported by studies and not recommended by the CDC.(98) It confines women to a hospital bed and may result in a higher incidence of cesarean section.(99)\nNormal processes such as menopause and childbirth have been heavily \u201cmedicalized.\u201d\u009d\nSynthetic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not prevent heart disease or dementia, but does increase the risk of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, and gall bladder attack.(100)\nAs many as one-third of postmenopausal women use HRT.(101,102) This number is important in light of the much-publicized Women\u2019s Health Initiative Study, which was halted before its completion because of a higher death rate in the synthetic estrogen-progestin (HRT) group.(103)\nIn 1983, 809,000 cesarean sections (21% of live births) were performed in the US, making it the nation\u2019s most common obstetric-gynecologic (OB/GYN) surgical procedure. The second most common OB/GYN operation was hysterectomy (673,000), followed by diagnostic dilation and curettage of the uterus (632,000). In 1983, OB/GYN procedures represented 23% of all surgery completed in the US.(104)\nIn 2001, cesarean section is still the most common OB/GYN surgical procedure. Approximately 4 million births occur annually, with 24% (960,000) delivered by cesarean section. In the Netherlands, only 8% of births are delivered by cesarean section. This suggests 640,000 unnecessary cesarean sections\u201d\u201dentailing three to four times higher mortality and 20 times greater morbidity than vaginal delivery(105)\u201d\u201dare performed annually in the US.\nThe US cesarean rate rose from just 4.5% in 1965 to 24.1% in 1986. Sakala contends that an \u201cuncontrolled pandemic of medically unnecessary cesarean births is occurring.\u201d\u009d(106) VanHam reported a cesarean section postpartum hemorrhage rate of 7%, a hematoma formation rate of 3.5%, a urinary tract infection rate of 3%, and a combined postoperative morbidity rate of 35.7% in a high-risk population undergoing cesarean section.(107)\nNEVER ENOUGH STUDIES\nScientists claimed there were never enough studies revealing the dangers of DDT and other dangerous pesticides to ban them. They also used this argument for tobacco, claiming that more studies were needed before they could be certain that tobacco really caused lung cancer. Even the American Medical Association (AMA) was complicit in suppressing the results of tobacco research. In 1964, when the Surgeon General\u2019s report condemned smoking, the AMA refused to endorse it, claiming a need for more research. What they really wanted was more money, which they received from a consortium of tobacco companies that paid the AMA $18 million over the next nine years during which the AMA said nothing about the dangers of smoking.(108)\nThe Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), \u201cafter careful consideration of the extent to which cigarettes were used by physicians in practice,\u201d began accepting tobacco advertisements and money in 1933. State journals such as the New York State Journal of Medicine also began to run advertisements for Chesterfield cigarettes that claimed cigarettes are \u201cJust as pure as the water you drink\u2026 and practically untouched by human hands.\u201d In 1948, JAMA argued \u201cmore can be said in behalf of smoking as a form of escape from tension than against it\u2026 there does not seem to be any preponderance of evidence that would indicate the abolition of the use of tobacco as a substance contrary to the public health.\u201d(109) Today, scientists continue to use the excuse that more studies are needed before they will support restricting the inordinate use of drugs.\nThe Lazarou study(1) analyzed records for prescribed medications for 33 million US hospital admissions in 1994. It discovered 2.2 million serious injuries due to prescribed drugs; 2.1% of inpatients experienced a serious adverse drug reaction, 4.7% of all hospital admissions were due to a serious adverse drug reaction, and fatal adverse drug reactions occurred in 0.19% of inpatients and 0.13% of admissions. The authors estimated that 106,000 deaths occur annually due to adverse drug reactions.\nUsing a cost analysis from a 2000 study in which the increase in hospitalization costs per patient suffering an adverse drug reaction was $5,483, costs for the Lazarou study\u2019s 2.2 million patients with serious drug reactions amounted to $12 billion.(1,49)\nSerious adverse drug reactions commonly emerge after FDA approval of the drugs involved. The safety of new agents cannot be known with certainty until a drug has been on the market for many years.(110)\nOver one million people develop bedsores in U.S. hospitals every year. It\u2019s a tremendous burden to patients and family, and a $55 billion dollar healthcare burden. (7) Bedsores are preventable with proper nursing care. It is true that 50% of those affected are in a vulnerable age group of over 70. In the elderly bedsores carry a fourfold increase in the rate of death. The mortality rate in hospitals for patients with bedsores is between 23% and 37%. (8) Even if we just take the 50% of people over 70 with bedsores and the lowest mortality at 23%, that gives us a death rate due to bedsores of 115,000. Critics will say that it was the disease or advanced age that killed the patient, not the bedsore, but our argument is that an early death, by denying proper care, deserves to be counted. It is only after counting these unnecessary deaths that we can then turn our attention to fixing the problem.\nThe General Accounting Office (GAO), a special investigative branch of Congress, cited 20% of the nation\u2019s 17,000 nursing homes for violations between July 2000 and January 2002. Many violations involved serious physical injury and death.(111)\nA report from the Coalition for Nursing Home Reform states that at least one-third of the nation\u2019s 1.6 million nursing home residents may suffer from malnutrition and dehydration, which hastens their death. The report calls for adequate nursing staff to help feed patients who are not able to manage a food tray by themselves.(11) It is difficult to place a mortality rate on malnutrition and dehydration. The Coalition report states that malnourished residents, compared with well-nourished hospitalized nursing home residents, have a fivefold increase in mortality when they are admitted to a hospital. Multiplying the one-third of 1.6 million nursing home residents who are malnourished by a mortality rate of 20%(8,14) results in 108,800 premature deaths due to malnutrition in nursing homes.\nThe rate of nosocomial infections per 1,000 patient days rose from 7.2 in 1975 to 9.8 in 1995, a 36% jump in 20 years. Reports from more than 270 US hospitals showed that the nosocomial infection rate itself had remained stable over the previous 20 years, with approximately five to six hospital-acquired infections occurring per 100 admissions, a rate of 5-6%. Due to progressively shorter inpatient stays and the increasing number of admissions, however, the number of infections increased. It is estimated that in 1995, nosocomial infections cost $4.5 billion and contributed to more than 88,000 deaths, or one death every 6 minutes.(9) The 2003 incidence of nosocomial mortality is quite probably higher than in 1995 because of the tremendous increase in antibiotic-resistant organisms. Morbidity and Mortality Report found that nosocomial infections cost $5 billion annually in 1999,(10) representing a $0.5 billion increase in just four years. At this rate of increase, the current cost of nosocomial infections would be around $5.5 billion.\nOutpatient Iatrogenesis\nIn a 2000 JAMA article, Dr. Barbara Starfield presents well-documented facts that are both shocking and unassailable.(12) The U.S. ranks 12th of 13 industrialized countries when judged by 16 health status indicators. Japan, Sweden, and Canada were first, second, and third, respectively. More than 40 million people in the US have no health insurance, and 20-30% of patients receive contraindicated care.\nStarfield warns that one cause of medical mistakes is overuse of technology, which may create a \u201ccascade effect\u201d leading to still more treatment. She urges the use of ICD (International Classification of Diseases) codes that have designations such as \u201cDrugs, Medicinal, and Biological Substances Causing Adverse Effects in Therapeutic Use\u201d and \u201cComplications of Surgical and Medical Care\u201d to help doctors quantify and recognize the magnitude of the medical error problem. Starfield notes that many deaths attributable to medical error today are likely to be coded to indicate some other cause of death. She concludes that against the backdrop of our poor health report card compared to other Westernized countries, we should recognize that the harmful effects of health care interventions account for a substantial proportion of our excess deaths.\nStarfield cites Weingart\u2019s 2000 article, \u201cEpidemiology of Medical Error,\u201d\u009d as well as other authors to suggest that between 4% and 18% of consecutive patients in outpatient settings suffer an iatrogenic event leading to:\n77 million extra prescriptions filled\n$77 billion in extra costs(112)\nWhile some 12,000 deaths occur each year from unnecessary surgeries, results from the few studies that have measured unnecessary surgery directly indicate that for some highly controversial operations, the proportion of unwarranted surgeries could be as high as 30%.(74)\nMEDICAL ERRORS: A GLOBAL ISSUE\nA five-country survey published in the Journal of Health Affairs found that 18-28% of people who were recently ill had suffered from a medical or drug error in the previous two years. The study surveyed 750 recently ill adults. The breakdown by country showed the percentages of those suffering a medical or drug error were 18% in Britain, 23% in Australia and in New Zealand, 25% in Canada, and 28% in the US.(113)\nThe Institute of Medicine recently found that the 41 million Americans with no health insurance have consistently worse clinical outcomes than those who are insured, and are at increased risk for dying prematurely (114).\nWhen doctors bill for services they do not render, advise unnecessary tests, or screen everyone for a rare condition, they are committing insurance fraud. The US GAO estimated that $12 billion dollars was lost to fraudulent or unnecessary claims in 1998, and reclaimed $480 million in judgments in that year. In 2001, the federal government won or negotiated more than $1.7 billion in judgments, settlements, and administrative impositions in health care fraud cases and proceedings.(115)\nWAREHOUSING OUR ELDERS\nOne way to measure the moral and ethical fiber of a society is by how it treats its weakest and most vulnerable members. In some cultures, elderly people lives out their lives in extended family settings that enable them to continue participating in family and community affairs. American nursing homes, where millions of our elders go to live out their final days, represent the pinnacle of social isolation and medical abuse.\nIn America, approximately 1.6 million elderly are confined to nursing homes. By 2050, that number could be 6.6 million.(11,116)\nTwenty percent of all deaths from all causes occur in nursing homes.(117)\nHip fractures are the single greatest reason for nursing home admissions.(118)\nNursing homes represent a reservoir for drug-resistant organisms due to overuse of antibiotics.(119)\nPresenting a report he sponsored entitled \u201cAbuse of Residents is a Major Problem in U.S. Nursing Homes\u201d on July 30, 2001, Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) noted that \u201cas a society we will be judged by how we treat the elderly.\u201d The report found one-third of the nation\u2019s approximately 17,000 nursing homes were cited for an abuse violation in a two-year period from January 1999 to January 2001.(116) According to Waxman, \u201cthe people who cared for us deserve better.\u201d The report suggests that this known abuse represents only the \u201ctip of the iceberg\u201d\u009d and that much more abuse occurs that we aware of or ignore.(116a) The report found:\nOver 30% of US nursing homes were cited for abuses, totaling more than 9,000 violations.\n10% of nursing homes had violations that caused actual physical harm to residents or worse.\nOver 40% (3,800) of the abuse violations followed the filing of a formal complaint, usually by concerned family members.\nMany verbal abuse violations were found.\nOccasions of sexual abuse.\nIncidents of physical abuse causing numerous injuries such as fractured femur, hip, elbow, wrist, and other injuries.\nDangerously understaffed nursing homes lead to neglect, abuse, overuse of medications, and physical restraints. In 1990, Congress mandated an exhaustive study of nurse-to-patient ratios in nursing homes. The study was finally begun in 1998 and took four years to complete.(120) A spokesperson for The National Citizens\u2019 Coalition for Nursing Home Reform commented on the study: \u201cThey compiled two reports of three volumes each thoroughly documenting the number of hours of care residents must receive from nurses and nursing assistants to avoid painful, even dangerous, conditions such as bedsores and infections. Yet it took the Department of Health and Human Services and Secretary Tommy Thompson only four months to dismiss the report as \u201d\u02dcinsufficient.\u2019\u201d\u009d(121) Although preventable with proper nursing care, bedsores occur three times more commonly in nursing homes than in acute care or veterans hospitals.(122).\nBecause many nursing home patients suffer from chronic debilitating conditions, their assumed cause of death often is unquestioned by physicians. Some studies show that as many as 50% of deaths due to restraints, falls, suicide, homicide, and choking in nursing homes may be covered up.(123,124) It is possible that many nursing home deaths are instead attributed to heart disease. In fact, researchers have found that heart disease may be over-represented in the general population as a cause of death on death certificates by 8-24%. In the elderly, the overreporting of heart disease as a cause of death is as much as twofold.(125)\nThat very few statistics exist concerning malnutrition in acute-care hospitals and nursing homes demonstrates the lack of concern in this area. While a survey of the literature turns up few US studies, one revealing US study evaluated the nutritional status of 837 patients in a 100-bed subacute-care hospital over a 14-month period. The study found only 8% of the patients were well nourished, while 29% were malnourished and 63% were at risk of malnutrition. As a result, 25% of the malnourished patients required readmission to an acute-care hospital, compared to 11% of the well-nourished patients. The authors concluded that malnutrition reached epidemic proportions in patients admitted to this subacute-care facility.(126)\nMany studies conclude that physical restraints are an underreported and preventable cause of death. Studies show that compared to no restraints, the use of restraints carries a higher mortality rate and economic burden.(127-129) Studies have found that physical restraints, including bedrails, are the cause of at least 1 in every 1,000 nursing-home deaths.(130-132)\nDeaths caused by malnutrition, dehydration, and physical restraints, however, are rarely recorded on death certificates. Several studies reveal that nearly half of the listed causes of death on death certificates for elderly people with chronic or multi-system disease are inaccurate.(133) Even though 1 in 5 people die in nursing homes, an autopsy is performed in less than 1% of these deaths.(134).\nOvermedicating Seniors\nDr. Robert Epstein, chief medical officer of Medco Health Solutions Inc. (a unit of Merck & Co.), conducted a study in 2003 of drug trends among the elderly.(135) He found that seniors are going to multiple physicians, getting multiple prescriptions, and using multiple pharmacies. Medco oversees drug-benefit plans for more than 60 million Americans, including 6.3 million seniors who received more than 160 million prescriptions. According to the study, the average senior receives 25 prescriptions each year. Among those 6.3 million seniors, a total of 7.9 million medication alerts were triggered: less than one-half that number, 3.4 million, were detected in 1999. About 2.2 million of those alerts indicated excessive dosages unsuitable for seniors, and about 2.4 million alerts indicated clinically inappropriate drugs for the elderly. Reuters interviewed Kasey Thompson, director of the Center on Patient Safety at the American Society of Health System Pharmacists, who noted: \u201cThere are serious and systemic problems with poor continuity of care in the United States .\u201d\u009d He says this study represents only \u201cthe tip of the iceberg\u201d\u009d of a national problem.\nAccording to Drug Benefit Trends , the average number of prescriptions dispensed per non-Medicare HMO member per year rose 5.6% from 1999 to 2000, \u2013 from 7.1 to 7.5 prescriptions. The average number dispensed for Medicare members increased 5.5%, from 18.1 to 19.1 prescriptions.(136) The total number of prescriptions written in the US in 2000 was 2.98 billion, or 10.4 prescriptions for every man, woman, and child.(137)\nIn a study of 818 residents of residential care facilities for the elderly, 94% were receiving at least one medication at the time of the interview. The average intake of medications was five per resident; the authors noted that many of these drugs were given without a documented diagnosis justifying their use.(138)\nSeniors and groups like the American Association for Retired Persons (AARP) are demanding that prescription drug coverage be a basic right.(139) They have accepted allopathic medicine\u2019s overriding assumption that aging and dying in America must be accompanied by drugs in nursing homes and eventual hospitalization. Seniors are given the choice of either high-cost patented drugs or low-cost generic drugs. Drug companies attempt to keep the most expensive drugs on the shelves and suppress access to generic drugs, despite facing stiff fines of hundreds of millions of dollars levied by the federal government.(140,141) In 2001, some of the world\u2019s largest drug companies were fined a record $871 million for conspiring to increase the price of vitamins.(142)\nCurrent AARP recommendations for diet and nutrition assume that seniors are getting all the nutrition they need in an average diet. At most, AARP suggests adding extra calcium and a multivitamin and mineral supplement.(143)\nIronically, studies also indicate underuse of proper pain medication for patients who need it. One study evaluated pain management in a group of 13,625 cancer patients, aged 65 and over, living in nursing homes. While almost 30% of the patients reported pain, more than 25% received no pain relief medication, 16% received a mild analgesic drug, 32% received a moderate analgesic drug, and 26% received adequate pain-relieving morphine. The authors concluded that older patients and minority patients were more likely to have their pain untreated.(144)\nWHAT REMAINS TO BE UNCOVERED\nOur ongoing research will continue to quantify the morbidity, mortality, and financial loss due to:\nX-ray exposures (mammography, fluoroscopy, CT scans).\nOveruse of antibiotics for all conditions.\nCarcinogenic drugs (hormone replacement therapy,* immunosuppressive and prescription drugs).\nCancer chemotherapy(70)\nSurgery and unnecessary surgery (cesarean section, radical mastectomy, preventive mastectomy, radical hysterectomy, prostatectomy, cholecystectomies, cosmetic surgery, arthroscopy, etc.).\nDiscredited medical procedures and therapies.\nUnproven medical therapies.\nOutpatient surgery.\nDoctors themselves.\n* Part of our ongoing research will be to quantify the mortality and morbidity caused by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) since the 1940s. In December 2000, a government scientific advisory panel recommended that synthetic estrogen be added to the nation\u2019s list of cancer-causing agents. HRT, either synthetic estrogen alone or combined with synthetic progesterone, is used by an estimated 13.5 to 16 million women in the US.(145) The aborted Women\u2019s Health Initiative Study (WHI) of 2002 showed that women taking synthetic estrogen combined with synthetic progesterone have a higher incidence of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, stroke, and heart disease, with little evidence of osteoporosis reduction or dementia prevention. WHI researchers, who usually never make recommendations except to suggest more studies, advised doctors to be very cautious about prescribing HRT to their patients.(100,146-150)\nResults of the \u201cMillion Women Study\u201d\u009d on HRT and breast cancer in the UK were published in medical journal The Lancet in August 2003. According to lead author Prof. Valerie Beral, director of the Cancer Research UK Epidemiology Unit: \u201cWe estimate that over the past decade, use of HRT by UK women aged 50-64 has resulted in an extra 20,000 breast cancers, estrogen-progestagen (combination) therapy accounting for 15,000 of these.\u201d\u009d(151) We were unable to find statistics on breast cancer, stroke, uterine cancer, or heart disease caused by HRT used by American women. Because the US population is roughly six times that of the UK, it is possible that 120,000 cases of breast cancer have been caused by HRT in the past decade.\nOFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT (OTA)\nHealth Care Technology and Its Assessment in Eight Countries, 1995.\nIn 1990, US life expectancy was 71.8 years for men and 78.8 years for women, among the lowest rates in the developed countries.\nThe 1990 US infant mortality rate in the US was 9.2 per 1,000 live births, in the bottom half of the distribution among all developed countries.\nHealth status is correlated with socioeconomic status.\nHealth care is not universal.\nHealth care is based on the free market system with no fixed budget or limitations on expansion.\nHealth care accounts for 14% of the US GNP ($800 billion in 1993).\nThe federal government does no central planning, though it is the major purchaser of health care for older people and some poor people.\nAmericans are less satisfied with their health care system than people in other developed countries.\nUS medicine specializes in expensive medical technology; some large US cities have more magnetic resonance image (MRI) scanners than most countries.\nHuge public and private investments in medical research and pharmaceutical development drive this \u201ctechnological arms race.\u201d\u009d\nAny efforts to restrain technological developments in health care are opposed by policymakers concerned about negative impacts on medical-technology industries.\nIn 1990, the US had 5,480 acute-care hospitals, 880 specialty (psychiatric, long-term care, and rehabilitation) hospitals, and 340 federal (military, veterans, and Native American) hospitals, or 2.7 hospitals per 100,000 population.\nIn 1990, the average length of stay for 33 million admissions was 9.2 days. The bed occupancy rate was 66%. Lengths of stay were shorter and admission rates lower than other countries.\nIn 1990, the US had 615,000 physicians, or 2.4 per 1,000 population; 33% were primary care (family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics) and 67% were specialists.\nIn 1991, government-run health care spending totaled $81 billion.\nTotal US health care spending rose to $752 billion in 1991 from $70 billion in 1950. Spending grew five-fold per capita.\nReasons for increased healthcare spending include:\nThe high cost of defensive medicine, with an escalation in services solely to avoid malpractice litigation.\nUS health care based on defensive medicine costs nearly $45 billion per year, or about 5% of total health care spending, according to one source.\nThe availability and use of new medical technologies have contributed the most to increased health care spending, argue many analysts. These costs are impossible to quantify.\nThe reasons government attempts to control health care costs have failed include:\nMarket incentive and profit-motive involvement in the financing and organization of health care, including private insurers, hospital systems, physicians, and the drug and medical-device industries.\nExpansion is the goal of free enterprise.\nHealth-Related Research and Development\nThe US spends more than any other country on health-related R&D.\nIn 1989, the federal government spent $9.2 billion on R&D, while private industry spent an additional $9.4 billion.\nTotal US R&D expenditures rose 50% from 1983 to 1992.\nNIH receives about half of US government R&D funding.\nNIH spent more on basic research ($4.1 billion in 1989) than for clinical trials of medical treatments on humans ($519 million in 1989).\nMost of the clinical trials evaluate new treatment protocols for cancer and complications of AIDS, and do not study existing treatments, even though their effectiveness is in many cases unknown and questionable.\nIn 1990, the NIH had just begun to do meta-analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis.\nPharmaceutical and Medical-Device Industries\nAbout two-thirds of the industry\u2019s $9.4 billion budget went to drug research; device manufacturers spent the remaining one-third.\nIn addition to R&D, the medical industry spent 24% of total sales on promoting their products and 15% of total sales on development.\nTotal marketing expenses in 1990 were over $5 billion.\nMany products provide no benefit over existing products.\nPublic and private health care consumers buy these products.\nIf health care spending is perceived as a problem, a highly profitable drug industry exacerbates the problem.\nControlling Health Care Technology\nThe FDA ensures the safety and efficacy of drugs, biologics, and medical devices.\nThe FDA does not consider costs of therapy.\nThe FDA does not consider the effectiveness of a therapy.\nThe FDA does not compare a product to currently marketed products\nThe FDA does not consider nondrug alternatives for a given clinical problem.\nIt costs $200 million in development costs to bring a new drug to market. AIDS-drug interest groups forced new regulations that speed up the approval process.\nSuch drugs should be subject to greater post-marketing surveillance requirements. As of 1995, these provisions had not yet come into play.\nMany argue that reductions in the pre-approval testing of drugs open the possibility of significant undiscovered toxicities.\nHealth Care Technology Assessment\nFailure to evaluate technology was a focus of a 1978 report from OTA with examples of many common medical practices supported by limited published data (10-20%).\nIn 1978, Congress created the National Center for Health Care Technology (NCHCT) to advise Medicare and Medicaid.\nWith an annual budget of $4 million, NCHCT published three broad assessments of high-priority technologies and made about 75 coverage recommendations to Medicare.\nCongress disbanded NCHCT in 1981. The medical profession opposed it from the beginning. The AMA testified before Congress in 1981 that \u201cclinical policy analysis and judgments are better made\u201d\u201dand are being responsibly made\u201d\u201dwithin the medical profession. Assessing risks and costs, as well as benefits, has been central to the exercise of good medical judgment for decades.\u201d\u009d\nThe medical device lobby also opposed government oversight by NCHCT.\nExamples of Lack of Proper Management of HealthCare\nTreatments for Coronary Artery Disease\nSince the early 1970s, the number of coronary artery bypass surgeries (CABGS) has risen rapidly without government regulation or clinical trials.\nAngioplasty for single vessel disease was introduced in 1978. The first published trial of angioplasty versus medical treatment was done in 1992.\nAngioplasty did not reduce the number of CABGS, as was promoted.\nBoth procedures increase in number every year as the patient population grows older and sicker.\nRates of use are higher in white patients and private insurance patients, and vary greatly by geographic region, suggesting that use of these procedures is based on non-clinical factors.\nAs of 1995, the NIH consensus program had not assessed CABGS since 1980 and had never assessed angioplasty.\nRAND researchers evaluated CABGS in New York in 1990. They reviewed 1,300 procedures and found 2% were inappropriate, 90% were appropriate, and 7% were uncertain. For 1,300 angioplasties, 4% were inappropriate and 38% uncertain. Using RAND methodologies, a panel of British physicians rated twice as many procedures \u201cinappropriate\u201d\u009d as did a US panel rating the same clinical cases. The New York numbers are in question because New York State limits the number of surgery centers, and the per-capita supply of cardiac surgeons in New York is about one-half of the national average.\nThe estimated five-year cost is $33,000 for angioplasty and $40,000 for CABGS. Angioplasty did not lower costs, due to its high failure rates.\nThe first CT scanner in the US was installed at the Mayo Clinic in 1973. By 1992, the number of operational CT scanners in the US had grown to 6,060. By comparison, in 1993 there were 216 CT units in Canada .\nThere is little information available on how CT scans improve or affect patient outcomes\nIn some institutions, up to 90% of scans performed were negative.\nApproval by the FDA was not required for CT scanners, nor was any evidence of safety or efficacy.\nMRIs were introduced in Great Britain in 1978 and in the US in 1980. By 1988, there were 1,230 units and by 1992 between 2,800 and 3,000.\nA definitive review published in 1994 found less than 30 studies of 5,000 that were prospective comparisons of diagnostic accuracy or therapeutic choice.\nThe American College of Physicians assessed MRI studies and rated 13 of 17 trials as \u201cweak,\u201d\u009d i.e., lacking data concerning therapeutic impact or patient outcomes.\nThe OTA concluded: \u201cIt is evident that hospitals, physician-entrepreneurs, and medical device manufacturers have approached MRI and CT as commodities with high-profit potential, and decision-making on the acquisition and use of these procedures has been highly influenced by this approach. Clinical evaluation, appropriate patient selection, and matching supply to legitimate demand might be viewed as secondary forces.\u201d\u009d\nLaparoscopic cholecystectomy was introduced at a professional surgical society meeting in late 1989. By 1992, 85% of all cholecystectomies were performed laparoscopically.\nThere was an associated increase of 30% in the number of cholecystectomies performed.\nBecause of the increased volume of gall bladder operations, their total cost increased 11.4% between 1988 and 1992, despite a 25.1% drop in the average cost per surgery.\nThe mortality rate for gall bladder surgeries did not decline as a result of the lower risk because so many more were performed.\nWhen studies were finally done on completed cases, the results showed that laparoscopic cholecystectomy was associated with reduced inpatient duration, decreased pain, and a shorter period of restricted activity. But rates of bile duct and major vessel injury increased and it was suggested that these rates were worse for people with acute cholecystitis. No clinical trials had been done to clarify this issue.\nPatient demand, fueled by substantial media attention, was a major force in promoting rapid adoption of these procedures.\nThe major manufacturer of laparoscopic equipment produced the video that introduced the procedure in 1989.\nDoctors were given two-day training seminars before performing the surgery on patients.\nIn 1990, the US ranked 24th in infant mortality of 38 developed countries with a rate of 9.2 deaths per 1,000 live births.\nUS black infant mortality is 18.6 per 1,000 live births, compared to 8.8 for whites.\nMammography screening in women under 50 has always been a subject of debate.\nIn 1992, the Canadian National Breast Cancer Study of 50,000 women showed that mammography had no effect on mortality for women aged 40-50.\nThe National Cancer Institute (NCI) refused to change its recommendations on mammography.\nThe American Cancer Society decided to wait for more studies on mammography.\nIn December 1993, NCI announced that women over 50 should have routine screenings every one to two years but that younger women would derive no benefit from mammography.\nThe OTA concluded: \u201cThere are no mechanisms in place to limit dissemination of technologies regardless of their clinical value.\u201d\u009d\nShortly after the release of this report, the OTA was disbanded.\nLazarou J, Pomeranz BH, Corey PN.

It is also a clear recognition that the pillage, destruction and trafficking of cultural heritage are more than a cultural tragedy \u2013 this is also a security and political imperative to be taken into account in all peace efforts,\u201d said the Director-General.\n\u201cPillage and destruction of Iraq\u2019s and Syria\u2019s culture has reached an unprecedented scale. It fuels the conflict by providing revenues for armed groups and terrorists.

They turned on the news and there was smoke and a building falling and I didn't understand what was happening. My mom came to pick me up early and she was crying. She told me that some bad people had knocked the building down and a lot of people had died. \"Who would knock a building down?\" \"Did we know anyone who died?\" \"Why are you crying so much?\" My biggest memory of the day was just the overwhelming sensation of not understanding.",

        "raw_content": "Canada on Strike - Official South Park Studios Wiki | South Park Studios Nordics\nAfter the citizens of the world fail to acknowledge \"Canada Appreciation Day,\" Canadians everywhere go on strike. As a result, people from Denmark flock to the U.S. to take the place of the striking Canadians. Ike pickets in solidarity with his countrymen and the boys fear for his life, so they step in to broker a settlement with the head of the World Canadian Bureau.\nMr. Mackey informs the students that it is Canada Appreciation Day. He plays a video in which Stephen Abootman, President of the World Canadian Bureau (initialism: WGA),[2] asks the students to remember all of Canada's contributions to the world. When he asks, \"When you think of Canada, what's the one thing that comes to mind?\", Cartman responds \"Gayness!\" Abootman also asks, \"What is it that makes Canada so important?\" and Craig replies \"Nothing!\" All the other students laugh and ridicule the Canadians (except for Ike, who is the only South Park Elementary student of Canadian descent).\nIn Canada, Abootman learns of the world's lackluster response to Canada Appreciation Day, and resolves to have the country go on strike, spurring the Canadians to break out into a choreographed song and dance number. When Abootman and his cohorts announce the strike to an assembly of world leaders, the other countries' delegates are confused as to what exactly Canada wants. Abootman responds \"more money\", and when asked where this money should come from he exclaims \"the Internet makes lots of money. Give us some of that money!\"; the other delegates try to explain that they cannot give Canada money, but Abootman is insulted, storms out and shouts that the strike will continue.\nLater, Kyle is watching Ike, his adopted brother from Canada, stand outside his house, picketing. Kyle approaches the other boys with worries about his brother, but they are too busy watching Terrance and Phillip to care. After realizing that all the Terrance and Phillip episodes are reruns, they attempt to call Steven Abootman to end the strike. While on the phone with him, they agree that Canada deserves more money but they do not have any to give. In a plan to raise money from the Internet, the boys post a video on \"YouToob\" of Butters singing Samwell's \"What What (In the Butt)\".[3] It goes viral, but in order to claim their money at the Colorado Department of Internet Money, the boys must wait in line behind other Internet video sensations, such as Laughing Baby, Dramatic Chipmunk,[4] Tay Zonday, Afro Ninja, Sneezing Panda, Chris Crocker, Tron Guy, the Star Wars Kid, and Numa Numa. In an argument over who is more famous, most of the other Internet celebrities kill each other (the fate of Laughing Baby, Asian Backstreet Boys, and Afro Ninja is never depicted), the boys advance in line, and they receive 10 million \"theoretical dollars\", which are printed on clear plastic cheques with no monetary value.\nStill striking, many Canadians are dying of starvation, and a news report shows that the United States has brought in Danish people to fill their positions. Despite protests from Terrance and Phillip, Abootman vows to continue the strike. When the boys present him their theoretical dollars, Abootman is outraged, and refuses to call off the strike until he feels he has won something. Kyle convinces the world leaders to give Canada a consolation prize of gumballs and Bennigan's coupons. The strike is settled, and the boys go home where Kyle gives an extremely verbose speech about the current feasibility of generating revenue on the Internet.\nAbootman throws a party to celebrate end of the strike and treats it as a great victory for Canada with Celebration playing, but Terrance and Phillip reveal to the Canadian public that the gumballs and coupons are worth $3,008, whereas Canadians lost $10.4 million by not working during the strike. As a punishment, Mr. Abootman and his men are banished by being set adrift on a block of ice.\nChocolate Rain Guy\nDramatic Look Gopher\nDepartment of Internet Money\nThe episode was a criticism of the 2007\u20132008 Writers Guild of America strike.",

Three bedroom, a garage and a garden. Well, what do you think?\"\nI am a student of the Glukhiv State Pedagogical University. It is situated in the centre of the town of Glukhiv, Sumy region. My university is one of the oldest Teachers' Training Educational Establishments in Ukraine. It was founded on the \"25th of October, 1874.\nMy university is not very large. It numbers about three thousand full-time and extra-mural students. The university occupies seven buildings with a great number of lecture halls, studies, laboratories, workshops. It has a rich library, four reading-halls, a canteen, an assembly-hall, administration office, dean's offices, a museum, two gyms, sports-grounds.\nThere are 6 faculties in my university: a pedagogical faculty, a philological faculty, a pre-school faculty, a natural science faculty, a pedagogical-engineering faculty and a physical-technical faculty. Specialists on different subjects are trained at our University. Among them are the teachers of English, Music, Art, Physics, Mathematics, Labor training, the Ukrainian language and literature, Foreign literature, Computer Science etc.\nThe University trains qualified teachers for primary schools, secondary schools, boarding schools, lyceums, gymnasiums and kindergartens. The curriculum consists of special subjects and general educational subjects. Professional training includes Psychology, History of Education, Pedagogics, Valeology and other subjects. All the students study Foreign languages, History of Ukraine, Philosophy. Future teachers attend lectures, seminars, practical and laboratory classes. Practice in schools, kindergartens, workshops and summer camps is compulsory for all students.\nThe students pay much attention to scientific work. They take part in conferences for students of different specialties which are held in our country and abroad. Some of them are interested in amateur artistic activities and sport. Many clubs are organized at our University where students have an opportunity to spend their free time and realize themselves.\nAfter four years of hard study students receive the so-called Bachelor\ndegree and can finish their study. To become a specialist one must study one year longer. Two years ago Magistracy was organized at our university where gifted students can get further education and become a Master of Humanities.\nAs for me I am proud to be a student of our University.\nI liked physics and chemistry when I was at the university, but I wasn\u2019t very good at economics. There was another student named Jim Green who was even worse. He was one of the star players on the football team, but he couldn't continue to play if he didn't pass all of his examinations. That was very difficult, for though Jim used his big body very well on the football field, he couldn't make any goals in the classroom.\nAll his professors were very kind to Jim and helped him. The kindest of all was our economics professor, a quiet little man named Bassum. He used to ask Green the simplest questions, but they didn\u2019t seem easy to Jim. One day, when we were discussing transportation, Professor Bassum called on Green. \"Name one means of transportation,\" the professor said, but Green looked helpless. \"Something that takes us from one place to another,\" the professor explained. Green opened his mouth, but nothing came out of it. \"Perhaps, Mr. Green,\" the professor continued, \"you can name the means of transportation that we usually use when we go on long journeys across land.\" It was very, very quiet in the room, but suddenly the professor made a strange sound: \"Choo-choo-...\" and his face became red. He looked at the class hopefully. All of us agreed with Professor Bassum that Jimmie Green must not fall behind because the Chicago game, one of the most important of the season, was not far away.\n\"Toot, tooooot too-toooooooooot,\" came from a student in the back of the room. We ail looks hopefully at Jimmie Green.\n\"Ding dong, ding dong,\" came from another part of the room. The professor finished the performance: \"Chuffa-chuffa, chuffa-chuffa.\" But all these sounds did not help to give Jimmie any ideas. So the professor made another effort:\n\"How did you come to the university this year, Mr. Green?\" he asked.\n\"My father sent me,\" said the football-player.\n\"On what? On what?\" asked the professor.\n\"He gave me money,\" the champion answered slowly.\n\"No, no,\" said Bassum. \"Name a means of transportation. What did you ride on?\"\n\"Train,\" said Jimmie.\n\"Quite right! Very good, Mr Green,\" said the professor, \"Now, another student. Mr Quincy, please tell us...\"\n(by James Thurber)\nII. Put 5-8 questions to the text.\nIII. Retell the story.\nIV. Read the text for obtaining information.\nUniversities in Britain differ from those in many countries. Until the nineteenth century, England had only two universities - Oxford and Cambridge. Both Universities are residential: students must belong to one of the colleges. The colleges at Oxford and Cambridge have no division by subjects; students of a wide variety of subjects belong to and live some of the time in one college, going out from these to different faculties or laboratories for their academic work. In addition, each student goes weekly to a tutor to show and discuss definite work.\nThe modem .Universities such as the Universities of London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, etc. are not residential. The colleges of the University of London, for instance, are teaching institutions, providing instruction chiefly by means of lectures, attended mainly by day students. Other institutions such as colleges of technology and agricultural ones provide education of University standard, too.\nSome students can study art subjects such as history, languages, economics or law; the others can study pure or applied sciences such as medicine, dentistry, technology or agriculture.\nThis is how a student spends his day. His working hours are from 9 to i. At 9 o'clock he will see the tutor or go to the library, or to the lecture. From 2 to 5 he is engaged in sports and all kinds of exercises. From 5 to 7 he usually zither works in the library or in the laboratory. At 7 o'clock the undergraduates and tutors gather in the hall and have dinner. After dinner the students have club activities, debating societies etc. By 10 o'clock the student must be in the college, as most of the students live in the colleges. At about 10 o'clock the student sits down to work again and works about 2 hours. At 12 o'clock p.m. he goes to bed.\nA person studying for a degree at a British University is called undergraduate: one who has taken a degree is called a graduate. B.A. or B.Sc. stands for Bachelor of Arts, or of Science, the first degree. M.A. or M.Sc. - denotes Master, of Arts or of Science, the first degree. M.A. or M.Sc. \u2013 denotes Master of Arts, or of Science. One can become a B/A/ after three years of hard study, and M.A. at the end of five years. D.P. stands for Doctor of Philosophy, the highest degree. The abbreviations of English degree must be written after the family name, e.g. Henry Sweet, B.A.\nTuition costs a lot of money. The students have to play for taking examinations, for attending lectures, for borrowing books from the library, for hostel accommodation, etc.\nThere are three terms from eight to ten weeks in the British University year.\nV. Answer the questions.\n1. How do we call a person who takes examinations is order to enter a University?\n2. How do we call a student who combines work and study?\n3. How do we call a student who does not combine work and study?\n4. How many terms are there in the British University year?\n5. How many Universities were there in England by the nineteenth century?\n6. What kind of universities are Oxford, and Cambridge?\n7. What is a college at Cambridge and Oxford?\n8.

Sc. denote?\nEvery season is good in its own way. The weather depends on the season and the climate of the country, and the latter depends on the geographical position of the country.\nThe weather, as you know, changes with the changing of the seasons. Let's take an autumn, for example. In autumn the sky is often cloudy; the sky hides behind the clouds and then appears again. Its rays have already lost their strength, and the sun is not so bright as it was in summer. The air can be moist. Days get shorter and nights longer. In late autumn the frost covers the ground at night. As autumn is a rainy season, the weather is mostly dull. And of course, we don't like rain of any kind even if it just drizzles. But there is a spell of sunny weather in late September, which we call Indian summer, when the sky is cloudless and there is a carpet of multicolored leaves on the ground. But in any case nature fades away and nothing can be done about it. I must confess, \u0456 don't like autumn, but a lot of people try to look at the reverse side of the medal. As they say, it is the time of harvesting tasty fruit \"and vegetables, the time of the beautiful golden leaves, the time when nature is very attractive.\nIn winter the sun shines rarely. Its rays are pale. It sets early and rises late. The air is frosty; large snowflakes slowly fall to the ground; the streets are slippery with a thick sheet of ice, they are frozen. The icicles glitter in the sun: the temperature falls, and snow may fall thick. Going outdoors in such a weather is not pleasant, but children enjoy throwing snowballs and making a snowman. Their cheeks are burning.\nBy the end of winter the snow begins to melt. Thaw sets in. The sun grows warmer, and soon there won't be any ice but plenty of water.\nNature awakens from its long winter sleep. The trees begin to bud and soon tiny green leaves will appear. Thin new blades of grass come up, the fruit trees begin to blossom. \"April showers bring May flowers\", as the saying goes. Trees, bushes and fields look magic covered with green carpet. The farmers till the soil and sow the seed. Nature looks full of promise!\nAfter spring comes summer. As a great Russian poet Pushkin said, \"Oh, summer fine!\nI'd love you but for the heat the mosquitoes and flies!\" In fact sometimes the heat is oppressive. But people usually like summer because they have their holidays and enjoy resting after their hard work.\nIn my opinion every season is beautiful and attractive. And as one of the famous poets said, \"I see no reason to speak in prize of any season\".",

        "raw_content": "Two's company: dissident literary couple Tsering Woeser and Wang Lixiong\nUnited by their passion for a new China, the outspoken literary couple have become a force to be reckoned with. Violet S. Law reports\nTSERING WOESER, WITH HER HUSBAND, WANG LIXIONG, AT THEIR HOME IN BEIJING. PHOTOS: SIMON SONG; CORBIS; AFP\nWang Lixiong and Tsering Woeser, argu-ably China's most famous dissident literary couple, could hardly be more different as individuals.\nA Han Chinese hailing from the Manchurian northeast, Wang, 60, aired his budding interest in political reform as early as 1978-79, during the Democracy Wall movement. Born into an army family in the heady first year of the Cultural Revolution, Tibetan poet Woeser, 47, rediscovered her heritage as a young adult but only much later eschewed poetry for polemics. Wang is as vaguely pensive as Woeser is blithely vivacious. He seems to be shouldering the heft of China's future while she appears little scared, or scarred, by the constant surveillance and occasional house arrest she is subject to.\nBy choice Wang acts the part of the traditional Chinese intellectual, sounding alarm about his country's looming woes. Woeser, it often seems, has been thrust into the role of fearless, feted chronicler of Tibet's tumults.\nLong before their marriage, in 2004, though, Wang and Woeser were united by their passion for the nation, as well as an unflappable faith in their freedom to speak truth to power.\nTheir first co-authored book, the non-fiction Voices from Tibet (2009), was published in English in Hong Kong in November. As editor and translator of that book, I've been in the privileged position of being able to not only render their prose but also observe their literary lives together in Beijing.\nThe tortuous trails they have blazed to become noted writers have tracked the turmoils of modern China itself.\nALTHOUGH BORN IN LHASA, Woeser was raised in the predominantly Han Chinese cocoon of a People's Liberation Army barracks in Sichuan province. Her half-Tibetan, half-Han father gave his Chinese name in public but, in private, held dear to his Tibetan identity.\nAt 15, Woeser fought to go to the big city, to attend boarding school. She enrolled in a school for ethnic minorities in Chengdu, Sichuan. There, she received a heavy dose of patriotic education; nearly every day, she says, she and her classmates watched television shows about the heroic deeds of Chairman Mao, Lei Feng, et al.\n\"It's going on to this day,\" says Woeser. \"The goal is to inculcate in us minorities a strong sense of recognition with the Communist Party.\"\nBack then, as an impressionable young woman who loved a good story, Woeser was enthralled, and sometimes even moved to tears.\nAt the Southwest University for Nationalities, in Chengdu, she blossomed into a poet - albeit one who, in her classmates' eyes, was still a Tibetan who excelled in writing lyrics in a language not her own. Yet, her fellow poets assured her, there was no need to worry about ethnicities or politics.\n\"At that time my identity as a poet was paramount and transcendental,\" Woeser recalls, \"but it proved to be no panacea.\"\nOne of her first poems in university was a political act. She penned it in protest, and in defence of her place (and that of her people) in the world, after getting into an argument with Han-Chinese classmates.\nPerhaps a natural sense of superiority bloats your life\nBut I won't offer a complying smile\nSun shines on you, shines on me\nOn a blue planet we are equal!\nPrint - For Certain Prejudices contained these lines (translated from the Chinese by Fiona Sze-Lorrain).\nWANG NEVER HAD TO fend for his place in society. However, he believed very early on that China would one day be fighting for its survival.\nWang moved to Beijing in the late 1980s because, he says, he wanted to be in the cultural and political centre of the country. In 1990, he completed his first novel,Yellow Peril ( Huang huo in pinyin), under the pen name Hush-hush. In his undaunted imagining, China was rocked by an epic flood of the Yellow River, crushing debts, political assassination and, at the end, the collapse of the Communist Party.\nAged 38, the car factory worker-turned-writer demonstrated nerves of steel inYellow Peril, which was released barely a year after the Tiananmen Square democracy protests were bloodily crushed. Even after having spent four years in the countryside as a \"sent-down youth\" - one of the millions of urban youngsters who were punished for their family backgrounds - and been deemed sufficiently indoctrinated to be released, Wang was determined to broadcast his unorthodox ideas.\n\"I wrote the manuscript longhand, and then I spent 500 yuan - at the time about half of my year's income - to get it typeset on a computer,\" Wang recalls. \"The typeset text was copied onto five-inch floppies. Then I gave out the diskettes to anyone I knew.\"\nPublished in Hong Kong but banned in the mainland, Yellow Peril proved a sensation among overseas Chinese readers. He estimates that as many as a million pirated copies of the book were in circulation.\nAt heart, Wang is less a radical revolutionary than a moderate reformist. He has penned a few treatises on implementing gradual, incremental democracy in China, but he has never been involved in political organising. Unlike those intellectuals who favour strategising and speechifying, Wang has been consumed by a solitary pursuit of the truth, sometimes at great risk.\nA daring adventurer, he once sailed from the source of the Yellow River to its mouth on a raft fashioned from the inner tubes of tyres. The Yellow River rises on the Tibetan Plateau, and it was here that he became exposed to a world beyond that of homogenised Han China.\nIn 1998, he published a book based on his two years of living in Tibetan regions: Sky Burial: The Destiny of Tibet ( Tianzang: Xizang de mingyun). In it, Wang went where few other Chinese intellectuals had dared to tread: into the controversies of Beijing's rule in Tibet.\nBecause of his Chinese-centric perspective, however, Wang was accused of cultural condescension, most notably by exiled Tibetan scholar Tsering Shakya, then a doctoral candidate at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies.\nWang found a more admiring, though no less critical, reader in Woeser, whom he met through a friend and who would later introduce him to ordinary Tibetans.\nIn 1990, Woeser had returned to Lhasa from Chengdu, to work at a literary magazine. Her arrival in the city of her birth led to personal epiphanies and public trauma.\nNot particularly religious and certainly unschooled in Tibetan tradition, Woeser made an obligatory first visit to the Jokhang Monastery. Tibet's most sacred and important temple had been turned into a pigsty during the Cultural Revolution. Once inside, she became so moved she burst into tears.\n\"I'm home,\" Woeser remembers telling herself. \"I'm truly home.\"\nSoon enough, she struck up a friendship with the lamas, who began to confide in her about the horrors of the late 80s: forced renunciation of faith, suppression, slaughter.\nInvoking Nazi concentration-camp survivor Elie Wiesel, who wrote in his autobiography, Night: \"For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living\", Woeser says, \"I'm very willing to listen to others' stories and to record them.\"\nBesides documenting the experiences of others, Woeser steered her poetic allusions towards politics.\n\"Hear ye!\" The big lie shall blot the sky\nTwo sparrows in the wood shall fall\n\"Tibet,\" he says, \"Tibet is fine and flourishing!\"\nThe furious girl will not bite her tongue\nEverywhere the monastic robe has lost its colour\nThey say: It's to save our skin.\nFrom December, translated from the Chinese by A.E. Clark\nUNLIKE BEIJING'S LITERATI, Woeser's Tibetan colleagues could read between the lines, warning her against publishing such loaded lyrics. But it was when she won a national award for this very poem that she realised her ultimate defeat.\n\"I felt that poetry was useless. Poetry fell short of expressing what is happening,\" she says.\nShe decided to eschew poems for essays. Then she came upon a trove of material that would prove perfect for that switch: nearly 300 photographs her father had taken in Lhasa during the Cultural Revolution.\nWith Wang's encouragement and tutelage, Woeser went about recording the oral history of scores of those who could be identified in the pictures - all survivors of the most tumultuous decade Tibet had ever seen.\n\"I cried many times, but my tears were worth something,\" she recalls. \"Under this regime, there are many ways to resist and protest. Some people choose to scream slogans. My method of choice is to protest in an aesthetic manner, through my written words.\"\nSoon, however, Woeser found that the repercussions from her prose were far more serious than she had bargained for. In 2003, after several rejections in Beijing, her Notes on Tibet found an admiring, if unwitting, publisher in Guangzhou. In this, her first non-fiction book, she detailed her observations from pilgrimages to Tibetan regions, as well as her newfound reverence for the Dalai Lama.\nWhen news of the publication reached Lhasa, Woeser was fired from her work unit, the Tibetan branch of the Chinese Writers' Association, where she was by then working as an editor. She was also under enormous pressure to publicly denounce the Dalai Lama, to save her own skin. This proved too much to bear: she fled Lhasa and took refuge in Wang's home, in suburban Beijing.\nThey married a year later.\nIn Beijing, Woeser has found not only more creative freedom but also an expanded social circle, which includes Tibetan exiles and China's most famous dissident artist, Ai Weiwei (who designed the cover of her latest book, commissioned by a French publisher).\nThrough Woeser, Wang has found a more visceral appreciation of all things Tibetan.\n\"Before, there was a lot about the Tibetans that eluded me; there were a lot of prejudices,\" Wang says. It was, after all, the belief that genuine democracy must not be the tyranny of the Han majority but should protect the minorities' interests that spurred him to traverse the regions inhabited by Tibetans and Uygurs: 60 per cent of Chinese territory. \"But now, as I've come to know the Tibetans as living, breathing human beings, I understand their demands so much better.\"\nThese demands, unheeded by the authorities, burst to the fore in March 2008. Protests led by monks, followed by violent conflict between Chinese and Tibetans, roiled the Tibet autonomous region and beyond. Authorities suppressed the unrest by imposing a lockdown.\nWoeser's website, Invisible Tibet, emerged as a clearing house for news submitted by Tibetan locals and exiles. Her courage in defying the blackout was lauded the world over, from Amsterdam to Washington (see sidebar). The authorities retaliated by putting Woeser under constant surveillance. She and Wang remain subject to house arrest when high-ranking officials from North America and Europe visit Beijing.\nAlthough Woeser is free to travel to Lhasa to see her family, she is constantly tailed by minders. And as every friend she visits has been interrogated by authorities, she says she now avoids most personal contact.\nJust as Wang follows his head, steadfast in his conviction that only with democratic reform can China ensure peaceful development, Woeser is the scribe who always follows her heart.\n\"Sometimes, I feel hopeless because, as a writer, I can't change anything,\" Woeser says. \"Ultimately, all I have to answer to are my feelings. If I didn't keep writing I'd feel the void inside.\"\nWang Lixiong\nRenowned as one of the most vocal, vigilant commentators on Chinese-Tibetan relations and ethnic-minorities issues within China, Wang Lixiong has been recognised with the Freedom of Expression Award from the Independent Chinese PEN Centre. His works are considered to be among the most authoritative and balanced on the subject by a native Chinese writer.\nYellow Peril (1991; pictured, translated into English as China Tidal Wave)\nSky Burial: The Destiny of Tibet (1998)\n\"Dissolution of a Dictatorship: A Progressive Multi-Level Electoral System\" (A 1998 essay)\n\"Dialogue with Dalai Lama\" (2002)\n\"The Spiritual Journey of a Free Spirit\" (2002)\n\"Bottom-up Democracy\" (2006)\nUnlocking Tibet (2006)\nMy Western China; Your East Turkestan (2007)\nThe Struggle for Tibet (2009; co-authored with Tsering Shakya of the University of British Columbia, Canada)\nVoices from Tibet (2009; published in English in November last year)\nReincarnation: A Sequel to Yellow Peril (2013; online)\nHaving discovered her heritage as a young adult, journalist-poet Tsering Woeser now occupies a unique position as chronicler of modern Tibetan memory.

Some conscientious objectors consider themselves pacifist, non-interventionist, non-resistant, non-aggressionist, or antimilitarist.\nThe international definition of conscientious objection officially broadened on March 8, 1995 when the\nWorldHeritage articles in need of updating from July 2015\nWorldHeritage articles needing reorganization from September 2013\nFasci Siciliani\nCroquant rebellions\nRevolt of the Pitauds\nSalt Tax Revolt\nSaminism Movement\nAgbekoya\nBondelswarts affair\nAnti-Bin Tax Campaign\nTax riot\nAlternative Service in the Second World War: Conscientious Objectors in Canada 1939\u20131945\nConscientious objectors in a volunteer army (Chicago Tribune article by Anthony DeBartolo)\nThe National Registry for Conscientious Objection\nInternational Conscientious Objectors' Day (War Resisters' International)\nof Human Rights factsheet on case law on conscientious objection\n\"Making a Choice: Conscientious Objection or Refusing to Register\" (Resisters.info)\nThe European Bureau for Conscientious Objection\nMennonite Central Committee's listing of resources for conscientious objection (US and Canada)\nRefusing to Kill: conscientious objection and human rights in World War One.

In German\n^ This is taking into account, however, that objectors were generally expected to give some reasons, e. g. slightly altered copies from internet sources, that got them accepted, and not necessarily (mildly said) the real reasons. Going beyond the Basic Law (as ruled in the minority vote in the 1985 decision), only he who could not do any military service at all was allowed to object. Who simply preferred the Zivildienst was (correctly) not; nor was who instead of objection to any war merely objected to a war among co-nationals, or who preferred the Communist cause (constitutionality of these latter cases and suchlike was contested).\n^ The objection is only feasible as a general judgment. The appeal to the Constitution, however, which was sometimes heard in its place, was not a valid argument, since the Constitution, while enacting equality of sexes in one article, enacted male-only obligation to serve in another, and hence lex specialis was to be applied.\n^ a b http://wri-irg.org/co/co-isr-03.htm\n^ From the Torato Omanuto entry: \"from 800 men in 1968 to 41,450 in 2005 compared to 7 million for the entire population of Israel.

United States\nFriends' Ambulance Unit\nGI Rights Network\nParisi v. Davidson\nWar Resisters Support Campaign (Canada)\nSimilar hearings and questions about hypothetical situations were in use in Finland for most of the history of Finnish conscientious objection, from its introduction in the 1930s to the 1980s, when they were abolished. Today, draftees have to specify whether they are objecting for religious or ethical reasons by marking the appropriate checkbox on a form, but hearings are no longer held. If conscripts turn into conscientious objectors during their service, the Defense Force will inquire of their reasons for internal research purposes, but the objectors are not required to answer unless they wish to do so. Usually, a conscientious objector will be released from the military within a few hours of making the claim.\nIn various places, questions about such hypothetical situations have come into disuse because they do not explore the present-day state of the objector's conflict of conscience, but rather, possible future actions which, with a great probability, will never take place.\nIn Britain during World War I, there was an argument put forth by a conscientious objector who asked the people who were part of the tribunal if they were Christian. When they all replied in the positive he then remarked, \"Could you imagine Christ in khaki running out into no-mans land?\" None of the panelists could, and the man was given total exemption due to 'religious beliefs'.[98]\nIn other examples, the interviewers would ask if one was ready to kill in self-defense or in the defense of a friend or family member or why one had not revoked their driver's license, for driving carries a risk of accidentally killing someone.\nIn hearings about one's personal conflicts of conscience, certain subtleties may arise. One example from interrogations in Germany is about a plank of wood floating on the sea, and you, shipwrecked, need cling to it in order to save your life. Another person swims nearby and he also is in need of this plank. If you deny him the plank, you are, according to the interrogators, ready to accept the death of a fellow human being, and therefore able to serve in the military, although they would still not be good for combat situations where others depend on them. Otherwise, if you are willing to allow the other person use of the plank you are willing to die and therefore not credible (although a soldier who would run away and let others die to save themselves would not be good in a life or death situation where others are depending on them to have their backs).\nThese are common questions from Swiss hearings.[97] By and large, these are asked in many other countries. They help to determine if the objector is politically motivated or if he is just too lazy to serve the country; or if he truly has a conflict stemming from his conscience. Arguments like \"The army is senseless,\" \"It is not just to wage wars,\" or opposition to involvement in a specific war (World War II, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War; a hypothetical war of West Germany against fellow Germans from the GDR during the Cold War) will hardly ever be accepted.

In Switzerland, the panel consists entirely of civilians, and military personnel have no authority whatsoever. In Germany, objections to military service are filed in writing, and an oral hearing is scheduled only if the written testimonials have been unconvincing; in practice, due to the heavy workload\u2014about half of all draftees in a given year file as conscientious objectors\u2014the competent authority reviews written applications only summarily, and it denies the alternative of a civilian service only in cases of grave shortcomings or inconsistencies in the written testimonials. Commonly, once an objector is summoned to a hearing, he has to explain what experiences drove him to recognize a conflict concerning his conscience.\nOnly three European Union countries \u2013 Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom \u2013 recognize the right to conscientious objection for contract and professional military personnel,[96]\nConscientious objection in Professional forces\nAs of 2005, conscientious objectors in several countries may serve as field paramedics in the army (although some do not consider this a genuine alternative, as they feel it merely helps to make war more humane instead of preventing it). Alternatively, they may serve without arms, although this, too, has its problems. In certain European countries such as Austria, Germany, Greece and Switzerland, there is the option of performing civilian service, subject to the review of a written application or after a hearing about the state of conscience. In Greece, civilian service is twice as long as the corresponding military service, the Swiss Civilian Service is one and one-half times longer. In 2005, the Swiss parliament considered whether willingness to serve one and a half times longer than an army recruit was sufficient proof of sincerity, citing that the cost of judging the state of conscience of a few thousand men per year was too great.\nOther conscientious objectors who have been awarded the Medal of Honor are Thomas W. Bennett and Joseph G. LaPointe, both medics who served during the war in Vietnam. Alvin York, the most decorated American soldier during WWI, also applied to be a conscientious objector, but was denied multiple times before finally serving in the Argonne Forrest in France.\nOn May 5, 1945, Desmond Doss received the Medal of Honor from President Harry S. Truman. This medal is the highest award for valor in action against an enemy force. By helping to support and maintain the war, Desmond was the first noncombatant to receive the Medal of Honor.\nWhen attempting to establish his status as a non-combatant, Desmond T. Doss was told there was no such thing. But, to get around the problem, he was informed he could register as a conscientious objector. Doss made clear he was not an Objector because he would willingly serve his country, wear a uniform, salute the flag and help with the war effort. He only became a conscientious objector to join the army.\nBeing a conscientious objector and Medal of Honor holder\nToday, the two main criteria for classification as a conscientious objector are that the objector must be opposed to war in any form, and the objection must be sincere. A 1971 United States Supreme Court decision, Gillette v. United States, broadened U.S. rules beyond religious belief but denied the inclusion of objections to specific wars as grounds for conscientious objection.[95]\nDesmond Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist, was the first of three conscientious objectors who agreed to serve in the US military in non-combatant roles and were subsequently awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration\n1-W service was divided into several categories. The Earning Service involved working in institutions such as hospitals for fairly good wages. Voluntary Service was nonpaying work done in similar institutions, mostly within North America. Pax Service was a nonpaying alternative with assignments overseas. 1-W Mission Supporting Service was like the Earning Service but the wages were used for the support of mission, relief or service projects of the draftees choice. The nonpaying services were promoted by church agencies as a sacrifice to enhance the peace witness of conscientious objectors.[94]\nCivilian Public Service was disbanded in 1947. By the early 1950s a replacement program, 1-W service, was in place for conscientious objectors classified as 1-W by Selective Service. The new program eliminated the base camps of CPS and provided wages for the men.\nAlternatives to war bonds and war savings stamps were provided for those who would not fund the war for conscientious reasons. National Service Board for Religious Objectors offered civilian bonds and the Mennonite Central Committee offered Civilian Public Service stamps and War Sufferers' Relief stamps.\nCivilian Public Service (CPS) provided conscientious objectors in the United States an alternative to military service during World War II. From 1941 to 1947 nearly 12,000 draftees,[92] unwilling to do any type of military service, performed work of national importance in 152 CPS camps throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.[93]\nCivilian Public Service firefighting crew at Snowline Camp near Camino, California, 1945.\nDuring World War II, all registrants were sent a questionnaire covering basic facts about their identification, physical condition, history and also provided a checkoff to indicate opposition to military service because of religious training or belief. Men marking the latter option received a detailed form in which they had to explain the basis for their objection.[91]\nEventually, because of the shortage of farm labor, the conscientious objectors were granted furloughs either for farm service or relief work in France under the American Friends Service Committee. A limited number performed alternative service as fire fighters in the Cascade Range in the vicinity of Camp Lewis, Washington[89] and in a Virginia psychiatric hospital.[90]\nIn the United States during World War I, conscientious objectors were permitted to serve in noncombatant military roles. About 2000 absolute conscientious objectors refused to cooperate in any way with the military.[87] These men were imprisoned in military facilities such as Fort Lewis (Washington), Alcatraz Island (California) and Fort Leavenworth (Kansas). Some were subjected to treatment such as short rations, solitary confinement and physical abuse severe enough as to cause the deaths of two Hutterite draftees.[88]\nWe were cursed, beaten, kicked, and compelled to go through exercises to the extent that a few were unconscious for some minutes. They kept it up for the greater part of the afternoon, and then those who could possibly stand on their feet were compelled to take cold shower baths. One of the boys was scrubbed with a scrubbing brush using lye on him. They drew blood in several places.\n\u2014 Mennonite from Camp Lee, Virginia, United States, 16 July 1918.[86]\nThe first conscription in the United States came with the Civil War. Although conscientious objection was not part of the draft law, individuals could provide a substitute or pay $300 to hire one.[84] By 1864 the draft act allowed the $300 to be paid for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers. Conscientious objectors in Confederate States initially had few options. Responses included moving to northern states, hiding in the mountains, joining the army but refusing to use a weapon, or being imprisoned. Between late 1862 and 1864 a payment of $500 into the public treasury exempted conscientious objectors from Confederate military duty.[85]\nDuring the American Revolutionary War, exemptions varied by state. Pennsylvania required conscientious objectors, who would not join companies of voluntary soldiers called Associations, to pay a fine roughly equal to the time they would have spent in military drill.[83] Quakers who refused this extra tax had their property confiscated.\nJohn T. Neufeld was a Mennonite World War I conscientious objector sentenced to 15 years hard labor in the military prison at Leavenworth. He was paroled to do dairy work and released after serving five months of his sentence. His diary of army and prison life is published in a collection with three other WWI Mennonite conscientious objectors.\nConscription in the United Kingdom was retained, with rights of conscientious objection, as National Service until 1960. The use of all volunteer soldiers was hoped to remove the need to consider conscientious objectors. Ever since World War I, however, there have been volunteer members of the armed forces who have developed a conscientious objection to continuing in service; a procedure was devised for them in World War II, and, with adaptations, it continues to this day.\nIn the Second World War, following the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928. The tribunals could grant full exemption, exemption conditional on alternative service, exemption only from combatant duties, or dismiss the application. Of the 61,000 who were registered, only 3,000 were given complete exemption and 18,000 were dismissed as false claimants. Of those directed to non-combatant military service almost 7,000 were allocated to the Non-Combatant Corps, re-activated in mid-1940; its companies worked in clothing and food stores, in transport, or any military project not requiring the handling of \"material of an aggressive nature\". In November 1940 it was decided to allow troops in the NCC to volunteer for work in bomb disposal.[82] In total over 350 volunteered.[82] Other non-combatants worked in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Other acceptable occupations were farm work, mining, firefighting, and the Ambulance Service. About 5,500 objectors were imprisoned, charged with offences relating to their unrecognised objection. A further 1,000 were court-martialled by the armed forces and sent to military detention barracks or civil prisons. Nevertheless, the social stigma attached to 'conchies' (as they were called) was considerable: regardless of the genuineness of their motives, cowardice was often imputed.\nBritain's conscription legislation of 1916 did not apply to Ireland, although it was then all part of the United Kingdom; although the prospect of its introduction led to the Conscription Crisis of 1918. Similarly, British conscription in the Second World War did not apply to Northern Ireland. Nevertheless, many Irishmen volunteered to fight in both world wars. The various parts of the British Empire and Commonwealth had their own laws: in general, all the larger countries of the Empire participated, and some were, in proportion to their population, major participants.\nThirty-five objectors, including the Richmond Sixteen, were taken to France and formally sentenced to death but immediately reprieved to ten years in prison;[80] conditions were made very hard for conscientious objector prisoners \u2014 ten died in prison, and around seventy died elsewhere as a result of their treatment. Many objectors accepted non-combatant service, for example working in the dangerous role of stretcher-bearers. Conscientious objectors who were deemed not to have made any useful contribution were disfranchised for five years after the war, but there was no administrative machinery to enforce such a disfranchisement.[81]\nAround 16,000 men were recorded as conscientious objectors, with Quakers, traditionally pacifist, forming a large proportion: 4500 objectors were sent to do 'work of national importance' such as farming, 7000 were given non-combatant duties, however 6000 were forced into the army, and when they refused orders, they were sent to prison. When the well-known pacifist and religious writer Stephen Henry Hobhouse was drafted in 1916, he and many other Quaker activists took the unconditionalist stand, refusing both military and alternative service\u2014and these men too were sent to prison.[77] Cases regarding conscientious objectors formed only a tiny proportion of Military Service Tribunals' cases, estimated at 2%;[78] in the first six months of following the Military Service Act, tribunals heard 750,000 cases, of which 16,000 (the total number of conscience cases for 1916\u201318) is 2.13%. Tribunals were notoriously harsh towards conscientious objectors, reflecting widespread public opinion that they were lazy, degenerate, ungrateful 'shirkers' seeking to benefit from the sacrifices of others.[79]\nA more general right to refuse military service was not introduced until the First World War. Britain introduced conscription with the Military Service Act of March 1916. The Act allowed for objectors to be absolutely exempted, to perform alternative civilian service, or to serve as a non-combatant in the army's Non-Combatant Corps, according to the extent to which they could convince a Military Service Tribunal of the quality of their objection.[76]\nConscientious Objector memorial in Tavistock Square Gardens, London \u2014 dedicated on 15 May 1994\nThe United Kingdom recognized the right of individuals not to fight in the 18th century following problems with attempting to force Quakers into military service. The Militia Ballot Act of 1757 allowed Quakers to be excluded from service in the Militia. It then ceased to be a major issue, since Britain's armed forces were generally all-volunteer. However, press gangs were used to beef up army and navy rolls on occasions from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth centuries. Pressed men did have the right of appeal, in the case of sailors, to the Admiralty. The Royal Navy last took pressed men in the Napoleonic War.\nA commission was founded within the National Assembly of the Republic to write a new constitution in 2012. The commission is still in negotiations on various articles and conscientious objection is one of the most controversial issues.\nIn 14 November 2011, the Ministry of Justice announced a draft proposal to legalise conscientious objection in Turkey and that it was to take effect two weeks after approval by the President to the change.[75] This decision to legalize by the Turkish government was because of pressure from the European Court of Human Rights. The ECHR gave the Turkish government a deadline until the end of 2011 to legalize conscientious objection. The draft was withdrawn afterwards.\nAs of March 2011, there were 125 objectors including 25 female objectors in Turkey. Another 256 people of Kurdish origin also had announced their conscientious objection to military service.[73] Conscientious objector \u0130nan S\u00fcver was named a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International.[74]\nThe issue is highly controversial in Turkey. Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan are the only three countries refusing to recognize conscientious objection and sustain their membership in the Council of Europe. In January 2006, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) found Turkey had violated article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (prohibition of degrading treatment) in a case dealing with the conscientious objection of Osman Murat Ulke.[72] In 2005, Mehmet Tarhan was sentenced to four years in a military prison as a conscientious objector (he was unexpectedly released in March 2006). Journalist Perihan Magden was tried by a Turkish court for supporting Tarhan and advocating conscientious objection as a human right; but later, she was acquitted.\nFronting the decreasing birth rate and the popular opposition to the army, the Spanish government tried to modernise the model carried from the Franco era, professionalizing it. The new army tried to provide an education for civilian life and participated in peace operations in Bosnia.\nConscientious objection was not permitted in Navarre, where pacifism, Basque nationalism and a low unemployment rate discouraged young males from the army. Thousands of insumisos (non-submittants) publicly refused the PSS, and hundreds were imprisoned. In addition a number of those in the military decided to refuse further duties. A number of people not liable for military service made declarations of self-incrimination, stating that they had encouraged insumisi\u00f3n. The government, fearing popular reaction, reduced the length of service and instead of sentencing insumisos to prison declared them unfit for public service.\nIn 2015, Lee Yeda was the first conscientious objector to be allowed to live in France via asylum.[68][69]\nFrom 2000 to 2008, Korean Military Manpower Administration said that at least 4,958 men have objected to service in the military because of religious beliefs. Among those, 4,925 were Jehovah's Witnesses, 3 were Buddhists, and the other 30 refused the mandatory service because of conscientious objections other than religious reasons.[66] Since 1950, there have been more than 16,000 Jehovah's Witnesses sentenced to a combined total of 31,256 years for refusing to perform military service. If alternative service is not provided, some 500 to 900 young men will continue to be added each year to the list of conscientious objectors criminalized in Korea.[67]\nConscientious objectors ... often spend the rest of their lives tainted by their decision... Criminal records from draft dodging make it difficult for objectors to find good jobs and the issue of army service is often raised by potential employers during job interviews.[65]\nThe records of conscientious objectors to military service are kept by a governmental investigative body as criminal files for five years. As a consequence, conscientious objectors are not allowed to enter a government office and apply for any type of national certification exam. It is also very unlikely that they will be employed by any company that inquires about criminal records.[64]\nOn January 15, 2009, the Korean Presidential Commission on Suspicious Deaths in the Military released its decision acknowledging that the government was responsible for the deaths of five young men, who were Jehovah's Witnesses and had forcibly been conscripted into the army. The deaths resulted from \"the state's anti-human rights violence\" and \"its acts of brutality\" during the 1970s that continued into the mid-1980s. This decision is significant since it is the first one recognizing the state's responsibility for deaths resulting from violence within the military.[62][63] According to the Commission's decision, \"the beatings and acts of brutality committed against them by military officials were attempts to compel and coerce them to act against their conscience (religion) and were unconstitutional, anti-human rights acts that infringed severely upon the freedom of conscience (religion) guaranteed in the Constitution.\"[62]\nThe government argues that introducing an alternative service would jeopardize national security and undermine social equality and cohesion. This is amid an increasing number of countries which retain compulsory service have introduced alternatives. In addition, some countries, including those with national security concerns have shown that alternative service can be successfully implemented.[59]\nIn September 2007 the government announced a program to give conscientious objectors an opportunity to participate in alternative civilian service.[61] The program stipulates three years of civilian service that is not connected with the military in any way. However, that program has been postponed indefinitely after the succeeding administration took office in 2008.[59]\nThe government's National Action Plan (NAP) for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights has not shown a clear stance on the pressing human rights issues such as, among other things, the rights of conscientious objectors to military service.[60]\nSouth Korea's stance has drawn criticism from The U.N. Human Rights Committee, which argues that South Korea is violating article 18 of the ICCPR, which guarantees freedom of thought and conscience. In 2006, 2010, and again in 2011 the U.N. Human Rights Committee, after reviewing petitions from South Korean conscientious objectors, declared that the government was violating Article 18 of the ICCPR, the provision that guarantees the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.[59]\nThe terminology conscientious objector technically has not existed in Korean dictionary until recently. In fact, significant majority of Korean citizens simply associate conscientious objectors with draft dodging, and are unaware of the fact that conscientious objector draftees in other westernized countries are required to serve in alternative services. Since the establishment of the Republic of Korea, thousands of conscientious objectors had no choice but to be imprisoned as criminals. Every year about 500 young men, mostly Jehovah's Witnesses,[57] are arrested for refusing the draft.[58]\nDuring the 1980s, hundreds[56] of South African white males dodged the draft, refused the call-up or objected to conscription in the End Conscription Campaign, an anti-war movement banned in 1988, while others fled into exile and joined the Committee on South African War Resistance. Most lived in a state of internal exile, forced to go underground within the borders of the country until a moratorium on conscription was declared in 1993. Opposition to the Angolan War, \"South Africa's Vietnam,\" was rife in English-speaking campuses, and later the war in the townships became the focus of these groupings.\nIn the present day, Russian draft legislation allows people to choose an alternative civilian service for religious or ideological reasons. Most objectors are employed in healthcare, construction, forestry and post industries, serving 18 to 21 months.\nAfter the Russian Revolution of 1917, Leon Trotsky issued a decree allowing alternative service for religious objectors whose sincerity was determined upon examination.[53] Vladimir Chertkov, a follower of Leo Tolstoy, chaired the United Council of Religious Fellowships and Groups, which successfully freed 8000 conscientious objectors from military service during the Russian Civil War. The law was not applied uniformly and hundreds of objectors were imprisoned and over 200 were executed. The United Council was forced to cease activity in December 1920, but alternative service was available under the New Economic Policy until it was abolished in 1936.[54] Unlike the earlier forestry and hospital service, later conscientious objectors were classified \"enemies of the people\" and their alternate service was performed in remote areas in a gulag-like environment in order to break their resistance and encourage enlistment.[55]\nThe Russian Empire allowed Russian Mennonites to run and maintain forestry service units in South Russia in lieu of their military obligation. The program was under church control from 1881 through 1918, reaching a peak of seven thousand conscientious objectors during World War I. An additional five thousand Mennonites formed complete hospital units and transport wounded from the battlefield to Moscow and Ekaterinoslav hospitals.[52]\nIn Romania, as of 23 October 2006 conscription was suspended, therefore, the status of conscience objector does not apply.[51] This came about due to a 2003 constitutional amendment which allowed the parliament to make military service optional. The Romanian Parliament voted to abolish conscription in October 2005, with the vote formalizing one of many military modernization and reform programs that Romania agreed to when it joined NATO.\nIn the Republic of the Marshall Islands no person can be conscripted if, after being afforded a reasonable opportunity to do so, he has established that he is a conscientious objector to participation in war (Marshall Islands Constitution Article II Section 11).\nUntil 2004 conscription was mandatory to all able-bodied Italian males. Those who were born in the last months of the year typically used to serve in the Navy, unless judged unable for ship service (in this case they could be sent back to Army or Air Force). Until 1972, objectors were considered as traitors and tried by a military tribunal. Since 1972, objectors could choose an alternative civilian service, which was eight months longer than standard military service (fifteen months, then twelve, as for Army and Air Force, 24 months, then eighteen, then twelve as for the Navy). Since such length was judged too punitive, an arrangement was made to make the civilian service as long as the military service. Since 2004, Italian males no longer need to object because military service has been turned into volunteer for both males and females.\nWomen can claim exemption from military service on grounds of conscience under arts. 39 (c) and 40 of the Defense Service Law, according to which religious reasons can be grounds for exemption.[48]\nAs for conscientious objection, in 2002, in the case of David Zonschein et al. v. Military Advocate General et al.,[50] the Supreme Court reiterated its position that selective conscientious objection was not permitted, adding that conscientious objection could only be recognized in cases of general objection to military service.\nIn discussing the status of the armed forces shortly after the founding of the State of Israel, representatives of orthodox religious parties argued that yeshiva students should be exempt from military service. This derives from the Jewish tradition that if a man wants to dedicate his life to religious study, society must allow him to do so. The request of orthodox political parties to 'prevent neglect of studying the Torah' was granted by the authorities. But in recent years this exemption practice has become the subject of debate in Israeli society, as the absolute and the relative numbers of the men who received this exemption rose sharply.[49] In 2012, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled in the case of Ressler et al. v. The Knesset et al..[50] that the blanket exemption granted to ultra-Orthodox yeshiva students was ultra vires the authority of the Minister of Defence, and that it violated Basic Law: Human Dignity and Liberty and was, therefore, unconstitutional.\nAll Israeli citizens and permanent residents are liable to military service. However, the Ministry of Defense has used its discretion under article 36 of this law to automatically exempt all non-Jewish women and all Arab men, except for the Druze, from military service ever since Israel was established. Israeli Arabs may volunteer to perform military service, but very few do so (except among the Bedouin population of Israel).[48]\nAs of 2011 the draft has been halted in Germany, primarily for the latter reasons (service justice, and a changed view of its necessity).\nThe Wehrdienst was controversial through all the time of its existence. Among the reasons mentioned were: that people could be required to fight against their German co-nationals, that men were discriminated against,[47] and that especially after the end of the Cold War, a rather arbitrarily selected part of a year's male youth was drafted (by direct non-drafting of capable young men, and by, supposedly, artificially high standards in medical examination), contradicting the \"service justice\" (Wehrgerechtigkeit). President Roman Herzog said in a speech in 1994 that only necessity for national defence, not any other arguments can justify the draft. (Interestingly enough, the necessity of Zivildienst performers to assist in social services, especially in the health area, came to be generally considered such an \"other argument\".) Though the context clearly indicates that in his opinion this necessity was still given, the speech was frequently cited in favor of suspension.\nAccording to Article 12a, a law may be passed that requires every adult male to military service called Wehrdienst; also, a law can require conscientious objections to a service of utterly non-military nature (called Zivildienst) no longer than the Wehrdienst. Both laws were passed, and, until the suspension of the draft in 2011, required men to perform such actions. Initially, conscientious objectors had to be accepted, appearing in person, by committees installed for that purpose at the draft offices (or contest a negative decision at the administrative court). The suspension of the procedure (1977), allowing to \"object with a post card\", was ruled unconstitutional in 1978. Beginning in 1983, the competence was shifted to the Zivildienst office (judging over a written justification without appearing in person) and was generally considered to be not much more than a formality.[46] The Zivildienst was for times up to one third longer than the Wehrdienst, which seemed to contradict the Constitution at first sight but was jointly justified by the fact that soldiers could later be called to military exercises (Wehr\u00fcbungen), had to work longer, and that with the more lenient acceptation since 1983, the will to endure some additional hardship should serve as a test of conscience (ruled constitutional by the Court of Constitution in 1985). The difference was decreased over time, and equal length was reintroduced in 2004.\nAccording to Article 4(3) of the German constitution (Grundgesetz): \"No person shall be compelled against his conscience to render military service involving the use of arms. Details shall be regulated by a federal law.\"\nAfter World War II, there was no official right to conscientious objection in the German Democratic Republic. Nevertheless, and uniquely among the Eastern bloc, objections were accepted and the objectors assigned to construction units. They were however part of the military, so that a fully civilian alternative did not exist. Also, \"construction soldiers\" were discriminated against in their later professional life.[44][45]\nUnder the Nazis, conscientious objection was not recognized in the law. In theory, objectors would be drafted and then court-martialled for desertion. The practice was even harsher: going beyond the letter of an already extremely flexible law, conscientious objection was considered subversion of military strength, a crime normally punished with death. On September 15, 1939 August Dickmann, a Jehovah's Witness, the first conscientious objector of the war to be executed, died by a firing squad at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.[43] Among others, Franz J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter was executed after his conscientious objection, on the grounds that he could not fight in the forces of the evil side. He is now somewhat the patron saint of conscientious objectors.\nThere are a small number of total objectors who refuse even civilian service, and are imprisoned for six months. This is not registered into the person's criminal record.\nPersons who have completed their civilian service during peacetime have, according to the legislation enacted in 2008, the right to serve in non-military duties also during a crisis situation. They may be called to serve in various duties with the rescue services or other necessary work of a non-military nature. Persons who declare themselves to be conscientious objectors only after a crisis has started must, however, prove their conviction before a special board. Before the new legislation, the right to conscientious objection was acknowledged only in peacetime. The changes to the service term and to the legal status of objectors during a crisis situation were made as a response to human rights concerns voiced by several international bodies,[41][42] who are overseeing the implementation of human rights agreements. These organisations had demanded Finland to take measures to improve its legislation concerning conscientious objectors, which they considered discriminatory. None of these organisations have yet raised concerns on the current legislation.\nAfter the war, a conscientious objector's civilian service lasted 16 months, whereas military service was 8 months at its shortest. To qualify for civilian service, an objector had to explain his conviction before a board of inspection that included military officers and clergymen. In 1987, the duration of the service was shortened to 13 months and the board of inspection was abolished. In 2008, the term was further shortened to 12 months to match the duration of the longest military service (that of officer trainees and technical crew). Today, a person subject to conscription may apply for civilian service at any time before or during his military service, and the application is accepted as a matter of course. A female performing voluntary military service can quit her service anytime during the first 45 days, however, if she wants to quit after those 45 days she would be treated like a male and assigned to civilian service.\nFinland introduced conscription in 1881, but its enforcement was suspended in 1903 as part of Russification. During the Finnish Civil War in 1918, conscription was reintroduced for all able-bodied men. In 1922, the option of noncombatant military service was introduced, but service in the military remained compulsory on pain of imprisonment. After the struggle of pacifist Arndt Pekurinen a law was passed providing for a peacetime-only alternative to military service, or civilian service (Finnish siviilipalvelus). The law was dubbed \"Lex Pekurinen\" after him. During the Winter War, Pekurinen and other conscientious objectors were imprisoned, and Pekurinen was eventually executed at the front in 1941, during the Continuation War.\nAny male getting drafted, but unwilling to serve, has the ability to avoid military service by instead serving community service for the duration of the conscription.\nIn Czechoslovakia, those not willing to enter mandatory military service could avoid it by signing a contract for work lasting years in unattractive occupations, such as mining. Those who didn't sign were imprisoned. Both numbers were tiny. After the communist party lost its power in 1989, alternative civil service was established. As of 2006, both the Czech Republic and Slovakia have abolished conscription.\nMennonites and other similar peace churches in Canada were automatically exempt from any type of service during Canada's involvement in World War I by provisions of the Order in Council of 1873 yet initially, many were imprisoned until the matter was again resettled. With pressure of public opinion, the Canadian government barred entry of additional Mennonite and Hutterite immigrants, rescinding the privileges of the Order in Council.[37] During Canada's involvement in World War II, Canadian conscientious objectors were given the options of noncombatant military service, serving in the medical or dental corps under military control or working in parks and on roads under civilian supervision. Over 95% chose the latter and were placed in Alternative Service camps.[38][39] Initially the men worked on road building, forestry and firefighting projects. After May 1943, as the labour shortage developed within the nation and another Conscription Crisis burgeoned, men were shifted into agriculture, education and industry. The 10,700 Canadian objectors were mostly Mennonites (63%) and Dukhobors (20%).[40]\nSince conscription was suspended in 1994 and military service is voluntary, the status of conscience objector can not be granted anymore in Belgium.\nAfter their service, objectors are not allowed to take jobs that require them to carry weapons, such as police jobs until the age of 42.\nConscription was mandatory to all able-bodied Belgian males until 1994, when it was suspended. Civilian service was possible since 1963. Objectors could apply for the status of conscience objector. When granted, they did an alternative service with the civil service or with a socio-cultural organisation. The former would last 1.5 times as long as the shortest military service, the latter twice as long.\nConscientious objection around the world\nWhile conscientious objectors used to be seen as deserters, traitors, cowards, slackers or simply un-patriotic, their image has changed drastically in the Western world in past decades. Especially in Europe, where objectors usually serve an alternative civilian service, they are regarded as making an equally important contribution to society as conscripts. Parallel to that, the number of objectors has risen significantly, too : e.g., in Germany, where conscientious objection is a constitutional right, from less than one percent of all eligible men to more than fifty percent in 2003. In 1991, The Peace Abbey established the National Registry for Conscientious Objection where people can publicly state their refusal to participate in armed conflict.\nDespite the fact that international institutions such as the United Nations (UN) and the Council of Europe (CoE) regard and promote conscientious objection as a human right,[36] as of 2004, it still does not have a legal basis in most countries. Among the roughly one-hundred countries that have conscription, only thirty countries have some legal provisions, 25 of them in Europe. In Europe, most countries with conscription more or less fulfill international guidelines on conscientious objection legislation (except for Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Finland and Russia) today. In many countries outside Europe, especially in armed conflict areas (e.g. Democratic Republic of the Congo), conscientious objection is punished severely.\nThe idea of conscientious objection has existed since the incorporation of forced military service but was not officially recognized until the twentieth century, when it was gradually recognized as a fundamental human right as a part of the freedom of conscience.\nConservative Mennonites do not object to serving their country in peaceful alternatives (alternative service) such as hospital work, farming, forestry, road construction and similar occupations. Their objection is in being part in any military capacity whether noncombatant or regular service. During World War II and the Korean, Vietnam war eras they served in many such capacities in alternative I-W service programs initially through the Mennonite Central Committee and now through their own alternatives.\nSome conscientious objectors are unwilling to serve the military in any capacity, while others accept noncombatant roles. While conscientious objection is usually the refusal to collaborate with military organizations, as a combatant in war or in any supportive role, some advocate compromising forms of conscientious objection. One compromising form is to accept non-combatant roles during conscription or military service. Alternatives to military or civilian service include serving an imprisonment or other punishment for refusing conscription, falsely claiming unfitness for duty by feigning an allergy or a heart condition, delaying conscription until the maximum drafting age, or seeking refuge in a country which does not extradite those wanted for military conscription. Avoiding military service is sometimes labeled draft dodging, particularly if the goal is accomplished through dishonesty or evasive maneuvers. However, many people who support conscription will distinguish between \"bona fide\" conscientious objection and draft dodging, which they view as evasion of military service without a valid excuse.\nAlternatives for objectors\nA notable example of a conscientious objector was the Austrian devout Roman Catholic Christian Franz J\u00e4gerst\u00e4tter, who was executed on August 9, 1943 for openly refusing to serve in the Nazi Wehrmacht, consciously accepting the penalty of death. He was declared Blessed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2007 for dying for his beliefs, and is viewed as a symbol of self-sacrificing resistance.\nSome practitioners of pagan religions, particularly Wicca, may object on the grounds of the Wiccan rede, which states \"An it harm none, do what ye will\" (or variations). The threefold law may also be grounds for objection.\nBah\u00e1'\u00eds are advised to do social service instead of active army service, but when this is not possible because of obligations in certain countries, the Bah\u00e1'\u00ed law of loyalty to one's government is preferred and the individual should perform the army service.[34][35]\nFor believers in Indian religions, the opposition to warfare may be based on either the general idea of ahimsa, nonviolence, or on an explicit prohibition of violence by their religion, e.g., for a Buddhist, one of the five precepts is \"P\u0101n\u0101tip\u0101t\u0101 verama\u1e47i sikkh\u0101padam sam\u0101diy\u0101mi,\" or \"I undertake the precept to refrain from destroying living creatures,\" which is in obvious opposition to the practice of warfare. The 14th Dalai Lama has stated that war \"should be relegated to the dustbin of history.\" On the other hand, many Buddhist sects, especially in Japan, have been thoroughly militarized, warrior monks (yamabushi or s\u014dhei) participating in the civil wars. Hindu beliefs do not go against the concept of war, as seen in the Gita. Both Sikhs and Hindus believe war should be a last resort and should be fought to sustain life and morality in society.\nBecause of their conscientious objection to participation in military service, whether armed or unarmed, Jehovah's Witnesses have often faced imprisonment or other penalties. In Greece, for example, before the introduction of alternative civilian service in 1997, hundreds of Witnesses were imprisoned, some for three years or even more for their refusal. In Armenia, young Jehovah's Witnesses were imprisoned because of their conscientious objection to military service; this was discontinued in November 2013.[33] The government of South Korea also imprisons hundreds for refusing the draft. In Switzerland, virtually every Jehovah's Witness is exempted from military service. The Finnish government exempts Jehovah's Witnesses from the draft completely.\nRegardless of nationality, all men are brothers. God is \"our Father who art in heaven.\" The commandment \"Thou shalt not kill\" is unconditional and inexorable. ... The lowly Nazarene taught us the doctrine of non-resistance, and so convinced was he of the soundness of that doctrine that he sealed his belief with death on the cross. When human law conflicts with Divine law, my duty is clear. Conscience, my infallible guide, impels me to tell you that prison, death, or both, are infinitely preferable to joining any branch of the Army.[32]\nBen Salmon was a Catholic conscientious objector during World War I and outspoken critic of Just War theology. The Catholic Church denounced him and The New York Times described him as a \"spy suspect.\" The US military (in which he was never inducted) charged him with desertion and spreading propaganda, then sentenced him to death (this was later revised to 25 years hard labor).[31] On June 5, 1917, Salmon wrote in a letter to President Wilson:\nAfter the Roman Empire officially embraced Christianity, the Just War theology was developed in order to reconcile warfare with Christian belief. After Theodosius I made Christianity an official religion of the Empire, this position slowly developed into the official position of the Western Church. In the 11th century, there was a further shift of opinion in the Latin-Christian tradition with the crusades, strengthening the idea and acceptability of Holy War. Objectors became a minority. Some theologians see the Constantinian shift and the loss of Christian pacifism as a great failing of the Church.\nIn as much as they [Jesus' teachings] ruled out as illicit all use of violence and injury against others, clearly implied [was] the illegitimacy of participation in war... The early Christians took Jesus at his word, and understood his inculcations of gentleness and non-resistance in their literal sense. They closely identified their religion with peace; they strongly condemned war for the bloodshed which it involved.\nIn the early Christian Church followers of the Christ refused to take up arms.\nBlessed are the Peacemakers (1917) by George Bellows.\nThe following is said of the Seventh-day Adventists (SDA) by a neutral, non-SDA organization: \"Many Seventh-day Adventists refuse to enter the army as combatants, but participate as medics, ambulance drivers, etc. During World War II in Germany, many SDA conscientious objectors were sent to concentration camps or mental institutions; some were executed. Some Seventh-day Adventists volunteered for the US Army's Operation Whitecoat, participating in research to help others. The Church preferred to call them \"conscientious participants\", because they were willing to risk their lives as test subjects in potentially life-threatening research. Over 2,200 Seventh-day Adventists volunteered in experiments involving various infectious agents during the 1950s through the 1970s in Fort Detrick, MD. \"[29] A schism arose during and after World War I between Seventh-day Adventists in Germany who agreed to serve in the military if conscripted and those who rejected all participation in warfare \u2014 the latter group eventually forming a separate church (the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement).[30] Jehovah's Witnesses and Christadelphians, refuse to participate in the armed services on the grounds that they believe they should be neutral in worldly conflicts and often cite the latter portion of Isaiah 2:4 which states, \"...neither shall they learn war anymore.\" Other objections can stem from a deep sense of responsibility toward humanity as a whole, or from simple denial that any government possesses the moral authority to command warlike behavior from its citizens.\nThe reasons for refusing to perform military service are varied. Many conscientious objectors cite religious reasons. Unitarian Universalists object to war in their sixth principle \"The goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all\". Members of the Historic Peace Churches such as Quakers, Mennonites, Amish, Old Order Mennonite, Conservative Mennonites and Church of the Brethren object to war from the conviction that Christian life is incompatible with military action, because Jesus enjoins his followers to love their enemies and to refuse violence. Since the American Civil War, Seventh-day Adventists have been known as non-combatants, and have done work in hospitals or to give medical care rather than combat roles, and the church has upheld the non-combative position.[28]\nCases of behaviour which could be considered as religiously motivated conscientious objection are historically attested long before the modern term appeared. For example, the Medieval Orkneyinga Saga mentions that Magnus Erlendsson, Earl of Orkney \u2013 the future Saint Magnus \u2013 had a reputation for piety and gentleness, and because of his religious convictions refused to fight in a Viking raid on Anglesey, Wales, instead staying on board his ship singing psalms.\nOn May 25, 2005, journalist Jack Random wrote the following: \"The case of Sergeant Kevin Benderman (Iraq War Resister) raises the burning issue of selective conscientious objection: While it is universally accepted that an individual cannot be compelled against conscience to war in general, does the same hold for an individual who objects, in the depths of the soul, to a particular war?\"[27]\nOn September 24, 2003, in Israel, 27 reserve pilots and former pilots refused to serve in only specific missions. These specific missions included \"civilian population centers\" in \"the [occupied] territories.\" These pilots clarified: \"We ... shall continue to serve in the Israel Defense Forces and the Air Force for every mission in defense of the state of Israel.\"[25][26]\nOn March 8, 1971, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the case of Gillette v. United States that \"the exemption for those who oppose \"participation in war in any form\" applies to those who oppose participating in all war and not to those who object to participation in a particular war only.\"[24]\nOn June 4, 1967, John Courtney Murray, an American Jesuit priest and theologian, delivered an address at Western Maryland College concerning a more specific type of conscientious objection: \"the issue of selective conscientious objection, conscientious objection to particular wars, or as it is sometimes called, discretionary armed service.\"[23]\nAir Commodore Lionel Charlton, of the British Royal Air Force (RAF), served in the military from 1898 to 1928. In 1923 he selectively refused to serve in the RAF Iraq Command. (He later went on to serve as Air Officer Commanding No 3 Group.)[22]\nSelective conscientious objection\n171. Not every conviction, genuine though it may be, will constitute a sufficient reason for claiming refugee status after desertion or draft-evasion. It is not enough for a person to be in disagreement with his government regarding the political justification for a particular military action. Where, however, the type of military action, with which an individual does not wish to be associated, is condemned by the international community as contrary to basic rules of human conduct, punishment for desertion or draft-evasion could, in the light of all other requirements of the definition, in itself be regarded as persecution.[21]\nThe Handbook on Procedures and Criteria for Determining Refugee Status (the Handbook) of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) states:\nHandbook on Procedures and Criteria for Determining Refugee Status\nIn 1998, the Human Rights Commission reiterated previous statements and added \"states should . . . refrain from subjecting conscientious objectors . . . to repeated punishment for failure to perform military service.\"[19] It also encouraged states \"to consider granting asylum to those conscientious objectors compelled to leave their country of origin because they fear persecution owing to their refusal to perform military service . . . .\"[7][20]\nIn 1997, an announcement of Amnesty International's forthcoming campaign and briefing for the UN Commission on Human Rights included this quote: \"The right to conscientious objection to military service is not a marginal concern outside the mainstream of international human rights protection and promotion.\"[18]\nOn July 30, 1993, explicit clarification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Article 18 was made in the United Nations Human Rights Committee general comment 22, Paragraph 11: \"The Covenant does not explicitly refer to a right to conscientious objection, but the Committee believes that such a right can be derived from article 18, inasmuch as the obligation to use lethal force may seriously conflict with the freedom of conscience and the right to manifest one's religion or belief.\"[16] In 2006, the Committee has found for the first time a right to conscientious objection under article 18, although not unanimously.[17]\nHowever, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights left the issue of conscientious objection inexplicit, as we see in this quote from War Resisters International: \"Article 18 of the Covenant does put some limits on the right [to freedom of thought, conscience and religion], stating that [its] manifestations must not infringe on public safety, order, health or morals. Some states argue that such limitations [on the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion] would [derivatively] permit them to make conscientious objection during time of war a threat to public safety, or mass conscientious objection a disruption to public order,...[Some states] even [argue] that it is a 'moral' duty to serve the state in its military.\"[15]\nIn 1976, the United Nations treaty the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights entered into force. It was based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and was originally created in 1966. Nations that have signed this treaty are bound by it. Its Article 18 begins: \"Everyone shall have the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. ...\"[14]\nIn 1974, the Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, Sean MacBride said, in his Nobel Lecture, \"To the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights one more might, with relevance, be added. It is ' The Right to Refuse to Kill.'\"[13]\n\"I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong ... They never called me nigger.\" \u2013 Muhammad Ali, 1966\nThe proclamation was ratified during the General Assembly on 10 December 1948 by a vote of 48 in favour, 0 against, with 8 abstentions.[12]\nIn 1948, the issue of the right to \"conscience\" was dealt with by the United Nations General Assembly in Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It reads:\nNuremberg Principle IV states: \"The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him.\"\nThe Nuremberg Principles were a set of guidelines for determining what constitutes a war crime. The document was created by the International Law Commission of the United Nations to recognize the legal principles underlying the Nuremberg Trials of Nazi party members following World War II.\nIn the United States, conscientious objection was permitted from the country's founding, although regulation was left to individual states prior to the introduction of conscription.[10]\nFormal legislation to exempt objectors from fighting was first granted in mid-18th century Britain following problems with attempting to force Quakers into military service. In 1757, when the first attempt was made to establish a British Militia as a professional national military reserve, a clause in the Militia Ballot Act allowed Quakers exemption from military service.[11]\nAn early recognition of conscientious objection was granted by William the Silent to the Dutch Mennonites in 1575. They could refuse military service in exchange for a monetary payment.[10]\nHistorically, many conscientious objectors have been executed, imprisoned, or otherwise penalized when their beliefs led to actions conflicting with their society's legal system or government. The legal definition and status of conscientious objection has varied over the years and from nation to nation. Religious beliefs were a starting point in many nations for legally granting conscientious objector status.\nHistorical introduction 1\nNuremberg Principle IV 2.1\nUniversal Declaration of Human Rights 2.2\nHandbook on Procedures and Criteria for Determining Refugee Status 2.3\nSelective conscientious objection 3\nReligious motives 4\nAlternatives for objectors 5\nConscientious objection around the world 6\nCzechoslovakia 6.3\nFinland 6.5\nBeing a conscientious objector and Medal of Honor holder 6.17.1\nOther countries 6.18\nConscientious objection in Professional forces 7\nCommon questions 7.1\n[9] The term has also been extended to objecting to working for the military-industrial complex due to a crisis of conscience.[8]\nFranklin D.

        "raw_content": "Discover the Geology of the Thermopolis Hot Springs\nA great way to relax while traveling across Wyoming is a soak in the mineral hot springs in Thermopolis. Hot Springs State Park was established in 1937 to protect mineral springs that produce nearly 3,000 gallons per minute of water at a temperature of more than 130\u02daF. The bubbling action in the springs at Thermopolis is caused by carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide gas. Hot Springs State Park contains two commercial pools and a state-run Bath House. There are many private springs and wells associated with the same geothermal system north of the park.\nThe springs emerge from the crest of the Thermopolis anticline, which is a large geologic fold that formed during the Laramide orogeny (70\u201335 million years ago). The Laramide mountain-building event faulted and folded the red Triassic-age rock layers seen around the hot springs, and the hot water is thought to be traveling up to the surface along those faults.\nBig Spring is the largest of the park\u2019s springs, with hot water flowing across an impressive system of terraced travertine down to the Bighorn River. Travertine forms by precipitation of carbonate minerals from hot water, and builds up over time forming terraced steps. The bright colors are caused by the incorporation of thermophilic organisms like bacteria and algae into the travertine. Extensive travertine, sulphur, and gypsum deposits mostly west of the river indicate hydrothermal activity has not always been confined to its present location.\nThe Traveler's Guide to the Geology of Wyoming explains how a thermal springs may form, and a WSGS preliminary report details the Thermopolis hydrothermal system.\nAdditional information about the hot springs at Thermopolis can be found on the following websites:\nWSGS\nFountain of Youth RV Park, 2017, Hot springs pool at Fountain of Youth RV Park, accessed February 2017, at http://www.fountainofyouthrvpark.com/hotspringspool.htm.\nHinckley, B.S., Heasler, H.P., and King, J.K., 1982, The Thermopolis hydrothermal system, with an analysis of Hot Springs State Park: The Geological Survey of Wyoming [Wyoming State Geological Survey] Preliminary Report 20, 42 p., 1 pl.\nWyoming State Geological Survey, 2017, Geothermal uses, accessed February 2017 at, http://www.wsgs.wyo.gov/energy/geothermal.",

How many voters did they influence with their false promises and how were they allowed to get away with such deceitful campaigning?\nI had foolishly assumed that the Electoral Commission, which had oversight of the referendum, would ensure that the voters were not told lies but that seems to be beyond their remit. Their own guidance booklet on the referendum says, \u201cWe monitor how campaigners spend money campaigning in the referendum but we do not regulate or control what they say in support of their arguments\u201d.\nBoris Johnson and Brexit slogan\nWhen Parliament drew up the statutory instrument for the referendum they failed to build in any right of appeal. At least at a general election when we are choosing a new government we have the option to turn them out at the next election, which if they make a real mess of the job can be sooner than their full term. We were told that the referendum was irrevocable which should have sounded warning bells to those writing the legislation to ensure that in that case there must be some oversight to ensure that the arguments were put fairly before the public \u2013 which they weren\u2019t and there wasn\u2019t.\nTo my mind the referendum was an abdication of responsibility anyway. It was promised during the 2015 general election campaign by David Cameron as a political sop to some Eurosceptic members of his Conservative party and in the light of opinion polls showing advances by the UK Independence Party. In view of the complexity of the question it should have been decided by those with full time professional advisers, ie. the government, not by the public who cannot hope to know enough about all the consequences.\nIf the government got it wrong we could at least turn them out at the next general election but they passed the buck to us. Because of the way it was set up it seems we are stuck with it but let\u2019s hope that we can make the best of it and learn from the experience.

The authors would also like to express appreciation to the Milton Bradley Company for its help in the development of the supermarket shopping game.]\nWhile a number of interesting psychological mechanisms of the effects of price promotions have been proposed, investigation of these mechanisms has been held back by the difficulty and expense of doing research in real world situations. This paper describes a flexible and inexpensive laboratory technique which would make practical the experimental study of a wide variety of hypotheses concerning how price promotions act on the decision processes of the consumer.\nA number of frequently used sales promotions involve giving the consumer a certain amount off the price of a product. The discount may be given by having the item 'on sale\", through the use of a cents-off coupon, or by returning part of the purchase price through a rebate. There is ample evidence both in the trade press (e.g. Abrams 1980) and the academic literature (e.g. Massy and Frank 1965; Nakanishi 1973; Sunoo and Lin 1978) that price promotions can serve to powerfully stimulate consumer sales, at least in the short run. However, for a manager to be able to make optimum decisions about the timing, frequency, target, form, etc. of price promotions, he or she must have an understanding of just how a price promotion affects the decision processes of the consumer to cause a greater likelihood of purchase.\nTo some, the psychological mechanism of price-off promotions is obvious: when you reduce a price, consumers become more likely to buy. However, there is evidence that a price promotion can cause far more sales stimulation than a simple reduction in price (McCann 1974; Cotton and Babb 1978). For example, Cotton and Babb used diary panel data to measure the sales effects of a set of price promotions whose average discount was 15%. While the price elasticities for these products (from previous studies) indicated that a 15% price reduction should cause a 3% to 25% sales increase, the price promotions yielded sales increases which were much larger, ranging from 20% to 400%.\nIt is not at all clear what is it about fashioning a price decrease into the form of a price promotion that gives the decrease added effectiveness. However, there have been a number of interesting suggestions. Kotler (1980) has proposed that sales promotions (1) gain consumer attention, (2) provide an incentive to buy, and (3) include 'a distinct invitation to engage in the transaction now.\" Beem and Shaffer (1980) suggest that promotions may be a more effective way to overcome \"customer entropy\" than an equivalent decrease in everyday prices. Thaler ( 1983 ) suggests that a price promotion may increase the total utility of a purchase by increasing the pleasure associated with the transaction. Gardner and Strang (1984) present the possibility that a price promotion might evoke in the consumer a \"script\", or stereotyped sequence of steps, which may often lead to a purchase.\nEmpirical research on these hypotheses, and the others that could be formulated, would be of both theoretical interest and managerial importance. However, an attempt to begin such research in the real commercial environment would run up against the fact that it would be quite difficult and expensive to find or create appropriate test situations. For example, to rigorously test the role of, say, transaction pleasure in causing price promotion effects, it would be necessary to make a controlled comparison between a price promotion and a simple price decrease. Since a situation where one group of consumers is offered a price promotion while an equivalent group of consumers is offered the same discount in the form of a simple price reduction rarely occurs naturally, considerable effort and expense would be required to create such a situation.\nFurther, the cost and difficulty of doing real world price promotion research may cause attempts to begin with such research to do so at the expense of the development of theory. For example, since theoretical justification is usually required of an application for research support, the researcher may be led to prematurely spell out a theory, and perhaps come to feel committed to it, just so as to be able to begin to submit the theory to empirical test. Or, a researcher might find him- or herself hanging on to a theory longer than the evidence would warrant simply because of the difficulty involved in trying out some other hypotheses. Or, the researcher, perhaps understandably, may choose research topics based on the relative ease of finding certain real world situations, but thus be led away from the systematic program of research which will be necessary to gain a real understanding of the mechanisms of price promotions.\nIn short, there is a need for a technique for doing exploratory research on price promotion mechanisms. This technique should be readily available and inexpensive, should make possible the testing of some basic elements of theory under controlled conditions, and should enable the preliminary testing of a wide range of hypothesized mechanisms.\nWe propose such a technique in this paper. The basis of this technique is the assumption that a price promotion affects the consumer by acting on basic mental processes common to all decisions. Under this assumption, the particular decision used to study price promotion effects should not be of critical importance. As long as there is more than one plausible alternative, and the decision-maker cares about the outcome, then there would be enough of the basic decision processes present _o be able to demonstrate and study price promotion effects.\nThe technique we propose involves having people make decisions in a laboratory situation where the available information and decision alternatives can be easily and inexpensively controlled. However, we felt it would be inadequate to have the people make decisions about a hypothetical situation. When asked what they would do in a situation. people tend to he influenced by their theories of their own behavior, which are often incorrect (Nisbett and Wilson 1977), or by their perception of how the researcher would like them to respond (Orne 1962). In order for the decision processes to be sufficiently realistic, the decision-maker must have some personal stake in the outcome of his or her choice.\nOur solution to the problem of how to have both the control and convenience of decisions in a laboratory setting but still have the decision-maker care about the outcome, was to embed the decisions in the context of a game. Each player of the game is in competition against one other player for a cash prize. The winner of the game is determined by how each player makes a series of choices concerning prices and brands of items in commonly purchased product categories. The rules of the game are explicit and simple enough that the players can become quickly involved in the game and strive to make the decisions that will maximize their chances of winning the prize. At the same time, the structure of the game makes it easy to take the choices made by a group of players who must use a price promotion to get a certain brand for a low price and compare them with the choices made by another group of players for whom the brand is regularly sold at that low price.\nThus, this game technique is well-suited to the exploratory phase of research on the mechanisms of price promotion effects. It enables a large number of real decisions to be studied conveniently, inexpensively, and with rigorous experimental methods. under the assumption that price promotions act on basic processes common to all human decisions, this laboratory technique can be used to test a wide range of hypothesized psychological mechanisms of price promotion effects. The tentative theory which would result from these studies could then be applied to real world business situations and be modified appropriately.\nThe remainder of this paper is a description and discussion of an initial test of this game technique. The test involved constructing a game appropriate for studying cents-off coupons, a form of price promotion which has been rapidly increasing in popularity (Bowman 1980). The goal of the test was to use the game technique to bring the coupon effect (the ability of cents-off coupons to cause a greater short-run sales increase than the equivalent reduction in price) into the laboratory.\nThe design of the particular implementation of the game technique which we used for this test was guided by our efforts to have the game involve as many plausible mechanisms for the coupon effect as possible. As long as we were reliably able to obtain the coupon effect under laboratory conditions, it would be relatively easy to test each plausible mechanism in later research. In the next section we describe, in detail, the game we constructed, and the subjects who served as players in the first test.\nWhen two players sat down to play the \"supermarket shopping game,\" they received a box which contained all the materials necessary for play. Inside the box were two envelopes and an amount of loose play money in various denominations of bills and coins. When each player took an envelope, the box containing the loose play money was placed between the two players and became \"the cash register.\" Each of the two envelopes contained the following:\none price list\none pack of shopping lists\n$100 in play money\nFive sheets of coupons\none questionnaire\nThe price list showed the names and prices of five alternative brands in each of 12 product categories and served in the game as the \"supermarket.\" The 12 product categories were selected from among consumer packaged goods frequently purchased at supermarkets. the five brands chosen for each category were those national brands that a small survey indicated were given the most shelf space in the local supermarkets. The prices listed were modified only slightly from the actual prices of those products at the time of the survey. The goals of the modifications were to separate brands which had the same price and to insure that the difference between the highest and lowest priced brand in a product category was less than 25 cents The product categories were listed in alphabetical order, and the five brands within a product category were listed in a random order.\nThe pack of shopping lists consisted of eight lists stapled together. Each list corresponded to a \"weekly shopping trip\" and named six product categories in which purchases were to be made on that trip. Thus, over the course of the game, each player had to make 48 brand choices. There was space on each shopping list for the player to write the name of each brand he or she had chosen and the price he or she had paid for the brand. At the bottom of the list was a line under which the players wrote the total cost of the six purchases made during the shopping trip. Bach shopping list contained a different set of six product categories with the constraint that over the eight shopping lists, each product category was listed exactly four times and that no product category would occur more than once on one list. The lists were in a different random order in each pack.\nEach player's allotment of $100 in play money was given in the following denominations: two 20's, four 10's, three 5's, three 1'S, two SO cent pieces, and four quarters.\nBach of the five sheets of coupons included in each envelope contained four coupons for the same brand. If the sheet were folded in half lengthwise and widthwise and then torn along each of the folds, the four coupons could be separated. Thus, \"clipping\" the coupons required some effort, but was certainly not difficult.\nThe questionnaire, which was filled out after the game was over, asked players to estimate how much supermarket shopping they do in an average week, and then asked for some demographic information.\nNote that, except for the order of the eight shopping lists in the pack, the contents of the two envelopes in any one game box were identical.\nIn order to give the processes of choosing a brand in the game some of the complexity of real consumer decisions, both the price aspects and the benefit aspects of the alternative brands were made to be relevant to winning the game. To accomplish this, an objective measure of a benefit aspect of the brands was needed. This was obtained by constructing a form like the price list but with blank spaces instead of prices after each brand name. These forms were given to approximately 120 people, drawn from the same population as that of the players of the game in this test, who were asked to rank each of the five brands in a product category according to its subjective utility, or perceived \"quality\". These rankings were tabulated to yield the group's perception of the one highest quality brand and the one lowest quality brand in each category.\nFor the players, the object of the game was to make their 48 brand selections so as to spend the least amount of money. The opponent who spent the least amount of the play money used as currency in the game won real money: a $5 cash prize. Thus, the listed brand prices were relevant to brand selection. However, the players also had to consider brand quality since they would receive an additional 25 cents for each highest quality brand they chose, but would have to pay an additional 25 cents for each lowest quality brand they chose (they neither received nor paid any extra amount when they chose one of the three brands in a product category which were neither highest nor lowest quality). The players were told how the brand quality ratings were arrived at, but were not told which were the highest or lowest quality brands. Thus, in the game, as is so often the case in real consumer decisions, price information was concrete and immediately available; but the information on the benefit aspect of the alternatives required some estimation and judgment.\nOf course, using this measure of brand benefit involved an element of unrealism. In real decisions, the consumer weighs the price of a brand against his or her own perception of its quality. But in the game, the players had to weigh price against the quality perceptions of other people . There were two reasons why this was not felt to be a serious problem. First, pilot testing indicated that players typically approached the task of judging how a brand had been rated by first determining their own perceptions of the brand and then adjusting for how they felt they may differ from the people around them. Thus, their own perceptions played a major role in their assessment of the perceptions of others. But, second, the use of the game technique rests on the assumption that price promotions act on mental processes common to all human decisions. Under this assumption, the mechanisms of the effects of cents-off coupons should not depend critically on the particular benefit aspect the players considered. The players were making real human decisions in the game since they chose between plausible alternatives and had a stake in the outcome.\nThe game in this test existed in two versions. Half of a game's players played Version A, while the other half played version B. The only differences between Versions A and B of a game involved the ten brands that had the potential of being couponed, which will be from here on referred to as the \"critical brands\". Each of ten product categories contained one critical brand. The coffee and toothpaste categories did not contain a critical brand, but served as \"dummy\" product categories which were included to prevent the proportion of couponed brands from becoming overly large. The critical brands were chosen so that four were highest quality brands in their product categories, four were lowest quality brands, and two were brands which were neither highest nor lowest quality in their categories.\nEach game contained coupon sheets for five brands. Five of the critical brands were couponed in version A games, and the other five critical brands were couponed in version B games (see Table 1). The value of the coupons for a critical brand was chosen so that, with the use of the coupon, the price for that brand became the lowest in the product category. Within that constraint, an attempt was made to make the game coupons reflect the actual values of manufacturers' coupons in recent Years (Bowman 1980).\nTHE TEN CRITICAL BRANDS\nAs can be seen in Table 2, the prices of the critical brands in game Versions A and B were set to allow the comparison of a brand's sales when a cents-off coupon was available with its sales when offered at the equivalent low price. While the players of version A games needed to redeem coupons to get Chips Ahoy, Tide, Golden Griddle, Promise, and Ragu Homestyle at the lowest prices in their categories, the players of version B games found those brands listed at that lowest price. And, while the players of version B games needed their coupons to get Post Raisin Bran, Dawn, Sunlite, Chicken of the Sea, and Sweet 'N Low at the lowest prices in their categories, the players of Version A games found those brands listed at that lowest price. Thus, while each critical brand was always available at its low price, half of the players saw it in its 'couponed form' and had to use a coupon to get the low price; the other half saw it in its \"control form\", where it was listed at the low price.\nLIST OF ALTERNATIVE BRANDS AND PRICES USED IN VERSIONS A AND B\nA total of 72 Northeastern University students and staff were recruited by advertisement to serve as players in this test of the game technique. The participants received $3 just for playing. The 36 players who won their games received an additional $5.\nFifty-eight percent of the players were male, and 876 were between the ages of 18 and 22. Seventy-six percent of the players indicated that they do at least some supermarket shopping each week, and 25% reported that they purchased over $20 worth of supermarket products in an average week.\nDescription of Game Play\nWhen a group of players was assembled, they were told that they were about to play a supermarket shopping game (which was part of a consumer behavior experiment) and were instructed to choose an opponent. Half of the pairs of opponents were given a box containing the A Version of the game and the other half were given a box containing the B Version of the game. Each player took one of the two envelopes inside the box. Then the contents of the envelope was inventoried in order to familiarize the players with the game materials and to allow each player to confirm that he or she was starting with the full play money allotment of 5100. At that point, the rules of the game were explained:\n\"The object of the game is to purchase all of the items on your shopping list and have as much money as possible left over at the end of the game. Whoever (of the two of you) has the most play money left over at the end of the game wins the prize of $5, real money.\nOf course this means you'll want to pay attention to the price of each brand you buy. However, it is also necessary to take quality into account. In this game, the quality of a brand is defined as how 120 people like yourselves rated each brand on a list which did not include the prices. Based on these ratings, there is one brand in each product category which is the highest quality and one brand which is the lowest quality. For each highest quality brand you buy, you will receive 25 cents (which corresponds to the pleasure of using a high quality product). For each lowest quality brand you buy, you will have to pay 25 cents (which corresponds to the problems of using a low quality product). These adjustments will be made after you have completed your shopping trips and they may greatly alter the amount of money you have left over.\nThus, you must take both price and quality into account in each brand choice you make. However, while you know the prices, you'll have to use your intuitions to assess quality.\nWhen the game begins, one of you will be the \"shopper\" and the other will be the \"cashier\". The shopper will select a brand of the first product on this week's shopping list and write the brand name and the price paid on the shopping list next to the product name. If the shopper chooses to use a coupon, he or she will subtract the value of the coupon from the listed price to get the price he or she will actually pay, and will write that price on the shopping list. When the shopper has purchased all six products on this week's list, the cashier will add up the amount the shopper has spent (we will loan you a calculator if necessary). The cashier will then collect the money from the shopper, and will collect any coupons the shopper may have used. The cashier will put the money in the cash register, and make change from the cash register if necessary.\nAt this point, the roles will reverse, and the former cashier will now have a chance to shop and the former shopper will become the cashier. Continue in this way until both of you have completed all eight shopping lists. Then call one of us over and we will make the adjustments for quality and then give the $5 prize to the player who has the most money remaining. Remember, both the price and the quality of the brands you choose will affect whether you win or not.\nAlso, remember that one, but only one of the two of you will win the $5 prize. Sometimes the results are very close, so it is in your interest to make the best choice you can for every purchase.\"\nIt was clear from watching the games being played that most players got caught up in the competition and cared about whether they won or lost. Also, informal post-game questioning failed to indicate any players who had correctly surmised the purpose of the experiment.\nWhile the players were exposed to coupon promotions for only five of the 60 available brands, they showed an average redemption rate of approximately 34%. [It is impossible to report the exact redemption rate in the game because the players occasionally made errors when recording the price they paid for a brand.] This redemption rate is considerably higher than that observed in real world coupon promotions; even in-pack coupons show a redemption rate of only 18.4% (\"Coupon Distribution and Redemption Patterns\" 1982). However, this high redemption rate does not appear to be due to a large number of players reflexively using coupons and ignoring the other factors in the decision. Seventy-one percent of the players redeemed fewer than half of the coupons available to them, and no player used more than 858 of the available coupons.\nTo determine if the cents-off coupons in this game were more effective in influencing choice than the equivalent low price, two probabilities were computed for each player. One was the probability of the player choosing one of those five critical brands which he or she saw in their couponed form, and the other was the probability of the player choosing one of those five critical brands which he or she saw in their control form. Since half of the players played Version A of the game and the other half played Version 8, each of the ten critical brands appeared in its couponed form as often as it appeared control form. Thus, the mean probability of all 72 players selecting critical brands seen in their couponed form can be compared to the mean probability of the 72 players selecting critical brand seen in their control form.\nThe results indicated that a critical brand in its control form had a 0.26 probability of being chosen. Since these brands were listed at the lowest price in each category, it is not surprising that their purchase likelihood is above the 0.20 (one in five) which would be expected from chance alone. More interesting, then, is that a critical brand in its couponed form had a 0.45 probability of being chosen. This 0.19 difference between mean purchase probabilities is a measure of the coupon effect shown in the game. x matched t-test on the arcsine transformations (Winer, 1971, p. 399) of the pair of the probabilities computed for each of the 72 players indicated that this coupon effect was highly reliable across the subjects who participated in this test (t(71) = 5.66, p < .001).\nThe results of this test showed that this particular implementation of the game technique is capable of bring the coupon effect into the laboratory. However, the usefulness of this game for exploratory research on the mechanisms of the coupon effect can be criticized on at least two grounds.\nFirst, it could be asserted that the artificial game situation, the unrealistic measure of brand benefit used, and the nonrepresentative selection of subjects for the test prevent the results of this laboratory technique from being able to have any relevance to price promotions conducted in the real world. Those who would take this position are questioning our assumption that there exist basic mental processes for decision making which are relatively invariant across people and situations, and that price promotions exert their effects on the consumer by acting on these processes. While we have no proof for our assumption, we believe it should be considered favorably at this early stage of research because it greatly facilitates laboratory study and the development of theory. The true test of this assumption will come as the implications of the theories based on laboratory research are tested in real world situations (see Calder, Phillips, and Tybout 1981; 1983).\nSecond, it could be argued that, while such a laboratory game could be useful for price promotion research, the behavior shown in the particular game described here is heavily influenced by a variable that never occurs in real world situations. In particular, it is possible that the players may have been more likely to use the coupons in the laboratory game because they felt that it was- what the experimenter wanted them to do. While giving the players a stake in the outcome was designed to avoid this artifact, it may not have completely done so since players may have believed that doing what the experimenter wanted them to do would increase their chance of winning the game. To minimize this problem, future version of the supermarket shopping game should have the coupons distributed in a way which makes it less obvious that they are the most important experimental variable. For example, each player could receive the coupons on the pages of a little newspaper which could also carry other price advertising and even articles on the quality aspects of certain products.\nWith such an improvement, it is easy to imagine how the supermarket shopping game tested here could be used to test a wide variety of possible mechanisms of the coupon effect. For example, a sequence of experiments could be done where aspects of coupons are added one-by-one to the low price control conditions to see which aspects are necessary to make coupons work as well as they do. Other hypotheses could be tested by varying whether or not some coupons are distributed to only certain players and by varying the effort necessary to redeem a coupon.\nThus, the game technique offers a promising approach to research on the psychological mechanisms of price promotions. we agree with Cook ( 1984 ) on the need for more consumer research experiments where the rewards in the experiment are linked to the choices the subject makes, and we believe that wider use of such methods could facilitate great advances in our understanding of the mental processes that underlie consumer decisions.\nAbrams, B.

        "title": "Durango Boot | Ageless Game",
        "raw_content": "Home / Durango Boot\nBy rjmcleod February 13, 2015 1 commentFrisbee Games\nThe flow of Boot is much like Ultimate, but even more fluid with no stoppage of play, even after scores. There\u2019s full-on running, lots of give-and-go action, smooth zone defenses, and the whole globe is your playing field. It\u2019s very competitive and we have yet to master the game after years of play.\nThe first time we ever played the game was on a snowy day in January. We had all arrived in snow boots, but none of us had any cones so we used our boots to mark the field. Hence the name: Boot. (Editor\u2019s Note: \u201cDurango\u201d has been added to the name of the game because it was first played and developed in Durango, Colorado.)\nRefer to the accompanying diagram for the basic configuration and dimensions. As in Ultimate, the field can easily be altered to fit the space available. Eight cones are used to define the field. Four cones (star dots) are the goals. If your team hits one with the disc, you score. The other four cones (black dots) are used to mark the \u2018take-back\u201d zone, which is actually a belt that extends all the way around the world. There is no out of bounds.\nThe object is simply to hit any of the 4 score cones (star dots) with the thrown disc. The disc must be released \u2014 no slam dunks.\nIf the cone is hit by a throw from within the zone in front of the \u201ctake-back\u201d zone, it counts as 1 point. If the cone is hit by a throw from within the \u201ctake-back\u201d cones, it counts as 2 points. If the cone is hit by a throw from beyond of the \u201ctake-back\u201d cones, it counts as 3 points. See diagram for examples of throws.\nGames are generally played to 3 points. Win by one point. Best 2 out of 3 games.\nEach team fields 3 players. A disc is flipped at midfield, heads or tails is called, and the winner of the flip immediately picks up the disc and takes the offensive. They then work the disc trying to get into position to hit one of the score cones. As in Ultimate, if they fail to complete a pass or if the stall count is reached, it\u2019s a turnover. The stall count only goes up to 6 and may be counted by any defensive player no matter where on the field he is. No one needs to mark the thrower.\nOn a turnover, the defensive team immediately becomes the offensive team, but before they can score, the disc must pass through at least part of the \u201ctake-back\u201d zone. This is done by throwing the disc to someone in the \u201ctake-back\u201d zone or on the other side of it. If the disc is lying in the \u201ctake-back\u201d zone after a turnover, there\u2019s no need to take it back.\nAfter a score, the defensive team immediately becomes the offensive team, just like after a turnover. The only difference is that before they can begin play any cones that were knocked over must be reset. There are no \u201cpulls\u201d.\nMost of the normal rules of Ultimate apply, e.g. fouls, traveling, etc. However, we generally avoid making calls unless they\u2019re very blatant.\nBoth offense and defense require an amazing amount of strategy. It\u2019s a very heady game. Below is the very basic strategy, but there\u2019s lots more to learn as you play.\nThe basic offensive strategy is to create 2-on-1\u2032s and then take advantage of them with very quick give-and-go\u2019s. Because there is only one defender trying to defend two cones, one cone will be open. However, if the 2-on-1 becomes a 2-on-2 because the middle defender hustles back, that end of the field should be abandoned and you should try to create a 2-on-1 to the other end of the field. It\u2019s almost impossible to score on 2 defenders because they can each defend one cone. Under no circumstances should you bring in the third offensive player to help because when you turn the disc over (either by a turnover or a score), you\u2019ll have no one back to defend the cones at the other end of the field.\nA zone defense is the most effective defense. One player acts as goalie at each end and one person plays the \u201ctake-back\u201d zone. The main objective is to stop the 2-on-1 and that\u2019s primarily the responsibility of the middle defender. Once two offensive players start moving the disc towards one end, the middle defender needs to move with them to help out his goalie, but he has to be careful not to overcommit or the offense will reverse direction and have a 2-on-1 in the other direction.\nHot Box | Ageless Game says:\n[\u2026] A variant originated in Washington, DC, Boot-Box, combines Double box with the cone hitting game, Durango Boot. Two end zones are formed with a square of four cones. Before scoring a team must complete a pass [\u2026]",

        "title": "Switchable electric systems extend the range of both ICE and e-vehicles - Automotive Industries",
        "raw_content": "Switchable electric systems extend the range of both ICE and e-vehicles\nWhat is indisputible is that the auto industry, and mobility as a whole, is in a period of rapid and disruptive transition. But, as yet, there is no clear road map of the way ahead.\nCompanies like Rheinmetall\u2019s Pierburg have identified that, during the period of transition (however long it lasts), there is a growing need for electrically-controlled components that can be fitted to the full range of vehicles \u2013 be they powered by internal combustion (ICE), electric, fuel cell or hybrid technology. These switchable components have the advantage of only using power when needed \u2013 which both extends battery life and reduces the consumption of fossil fuels.\nAutomotive Industries (AI) asked Dr. Berthold Franz, Head of the Business Units Commercial Diesel and Automotive Emission Systems at Pierburg, what he sees as the future of road transportation in the next two to three decades.\nFranz: In the next decade we will still have mainly diesel driven commercial vehicles for long haul transportation and for operations like mining. In the cities we will see more electrically powered commercial vehicles in order to cut down emissions and noise. Within the next 10-20 years we will see a more diverse powertrain world even for long haul transportation in order to reduce CO2 emissions. Already there is a fuel cell powered long haul truck in the United States.\nThe diesel engine will not disappear, but it will be in co-existence with hybridized powertrains, pure diesel powertrains or alternative powertrains like fuel cell. I do not expect that we will have pure electric long-haul trucks. But I think fuel cell could be a very feasible technology.\nAI: Why will diesel still power trucks in the medium term?\nFranz: Diesel provides the best combination of payload and of range. The trickiest for the diesel will be the inner-city applications such as deliveries and garbage trucks. This world will be driven by emission regulations for cities and local regulations, and will become increasingly electric.\nAI: How will diesel engines become more efficient?\nFranz: Basically, there are two ways how we can improve efficiency. Advances in aerodynamic design, low-resistance tires, lightweighting and the like will improve efficiency by around 40% for road-going vehicles within the next two decades. In addition, engine efficiency will increase by around 46%. It could go up to 55% until 2030, but then it will be very, very tricky to tune the engines to even more efficiency. Looking at the EU target of 15% by 2025, I expect we will see 2-3% out of the engine and the rest will come out of other systems like aerodynamics, wheels and weight.\nAI: Which are the current technical trends in commercial diesel applications?\nFranz: The first thing that you see at our OEMs is reduction of parasitic losses \u2013 friction within the engine or the drives used to power the auxiliaries. In order to reduce that you make everything, such as oil and water pumps, controllable and switchable. They are also working on making the brake air compressor controllable or switchable. They are improving the belt systems with the dyno or with an eco-compressor.\nIf we look on the combustion side of the engine, everything is about air management. The focus is on getting air into the engine in the most efficient way possible, and then to treat and manage it efficiently once it comes out of the combustion chamber. Here the key element is exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). To maintain and manage that process you need controllable back pressure in order to operate EGR whenever needed. This will see electric EGR and back pressure valves replacing hydraulic systems.\nAI: What technical innovations is Pierburg busy with?\nFranz: In my business unit we are helping OEMs to manage air efficiently with the use of electronically controlled valves. In the other business units of Pierburg we are working on electronically controlled water and oil pumps in order to produce oil pressure or to provide water flow only when it is needed.\nThen there are components like electric eco-compressors for both traditional and electric power trains. Drivers of hybrid vehicles that are standing still will want air conditioning even when the engine or motor is not running. Our eco-compressor will be launched in 2021.\nWe are also looking at the powering of the large trucks which deliver to supermarkets in the bigger cities. They have daily operating ranges of 150-200 km, running something like 17tons of payload. In some areas of the world they are not allowed to get into the cities very early because they are noisy. There are thoughts to get the last mile driven electrically by a small battery pack on the truck which is just able to run the truck for the last mile, feeding the supermarket and getting away. If you do this, you are not going to be able to brake because the air compressor for the brake is driven by the combustion engine.\nTherefore, in our opinion, there will be a market for electrically driven air compressors which we are now working on. There are different possible configurations \u2013 fully electrically-controlled brakes, or a hybrid system for when the combustion engine is switched off. Fully electric vehicles will, of course, need an electric brake.\nAI: Is electromobility an issue for your group?\nFranz: Our electric climate control and air compressors are already suitable for the e-mobility world because you need brakes and air-con systems.\nAI: What products have you developed for battery electric transportation?\nFranz: We have the thermal module, which consists of heat exchangers and an AC compressor. With that system we can support battery cooling while quick charging; we can support cabin climatization when it\u2019s very hot outside; or we can extend the range of a battery driven car by using waste heat from the e-engine or the electronics in order to heat up the cabin in the winter. Everything is contained in one very compact module which we have developed specifically for the commercial world and for e-mobility in order to extend ranges of the existing cars.\nAI: What is the market potential for electromobility?\nFranz: This is difficult to predict? If you were in Shanghai 10 years ago you would\u2019ve seen a lot of extremely noisy small two-stroke extremely motorcycles. Nobody could imagine that only a few years later you won\u2019t see a single one on the streets anymore. Now they are all small e-bikes. People are more comfortable living in cities where there is less noise and pollution, which means there is big potential for e-mobility. But, the other trend is that people are trying to avoid wasting time and energy commuting. This is changing the nature of work, and that in turn will affect the demand for e-mobility vehicles in cities.\nAI: What\u2019s next for Pierburg?\nFranz: We have a very strong market position in today\u2019s internal combustion technology, but all the different business units are preparing for e-mobility, mainly through the development of components rather than a full electric powertrain. We have a pretty robust portfolio no matter what the technology will be. Our strategy is to meet the needs of both hybrid and fully electric vehicles with the same components. For example, we have an electric compressor for climate control that you can apply to a hybrid car, but it can also be fitted to a fully battery-driven car.\nIf you look farther into the future, as showcased at last year\u2019s passenger car IAA, we have developed a 90-kW electric drive unit as well as a new kind of modular battery pack. This shows that we are repositioning ourselves in the market to meet the needs of our customers \u2013 be it for components or for modular systems. Throughout the motor industry \u2013 including at the OEMs, there is intense discussion around whether the demand will be for components or bolt-modules. We are prepared through our flexible technology and solutions to meet the demand, whichever way the trend goes.",

        "raw_content": "Volunteering Additions to the Tanzania Safari\nMany people want to come to Tanzania to see the animals on a game safari; however this is no longer enough; many wish to add a week [or longer] to volunteer their time to community projects once the safaris and mountain climbing are completed. This trend seems not to be originating from any particular part of the world. Requests are arriving in Tanzania from as far apart as Scandinavia, Australia, England and the United States.\nThe organized cultural tour is a thing of the past; I hope and I doubt it ever was popular. The organizing of cultural visits necessities it becoming prepared, this preparation causes the cultural elements to be reduced to two dimensions. However, to full appreciate Africa then learning something of the culture, meeting people completes the safari experience.A few hours visiting a school id not a cultural tour.\nIt may be enjoyable meeting with the children but it not 'cultural' with both sides feeling a bit uncomfortable. If you are unlucky a hustler will also try to take a chance at extorting some money; thereby souring the whole experience; and at the very least tainting the reputation of the very culture you are trying to reach out and touch.To volunteer a day or two, a week or longer is a great way to meet people, genuine Tanzanian's, see how the culture functions; it is an experience in which you will discover as much about yourself as you do about the culture in which you work.\nThere are a few tour operators offering this facility. There are many tour operators, with a few who work with the communities on which they depend for their livelihood. Giving back to the community to make sure tourism remains ? or becomes ? responsible.\nResponsible tourism actually makes a difference, it can change lives of communities and as the community is lifted the individuals of the community are helped and entire families are liberated from the poverty trap.Tanzanian's are not beggars and would rather work for an honest wage than be given a hand out; a hand out is a temporary solution. It creates a culture of dependency.\nVolunteering help the charities function, it helps you pass on skills and encouragement to the community. It gives you, the volunteer, a worthwhile mission once you return home; to help and be a part of a process that helps whole communities to lift themselves out of the poverty trap will not only change lives but be a life changing process for yourself. You will discover much about yourself on a journey with people from a different culture.\nFor a more comprehensive guide to the Selous game reserve and Lions Safaris in Tanzania or travel in Tanzania contact Ian through http://www.betheladventure.co.uk or Using responsible tourism to change lives.",

        "raw_content": "OXIDATION-STABLE GRANULATE CONTAINING UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS\nOne aspect of the invention relates to a water-dispersible granulate having a mass weighted average diameter of at least 100 m, said granulate comprising: 40-90 wt.% of carbohydrates; 2-30 wt.% of lipids containing at least 1% unsaturated fatty acids by weight of the granulate and at least 30 mg/kg of a pro-oxidative metal selected from the group consisting of iron, copper and combinations thereof; wherein at least 50 wt.% of the lipids is present as non- dispersed lipids. Despite the fact that the present granulate contains a substantial amount of unsaturated fatty acids as well as a high level of iron and/or copper, said granulate is nonetheless very stable against oxidation. The granulate of the present invention is easy to manufacture by a process that does not employ emulsification or pro-oxidative conditions. The present invention also provides a process for the manufacture of the aforementioned granulate.\nHINDUSTAN UNILEVER LIMITED, a company incorporated under\nthe Indian Companies Act, 1913 and having its registered office\nat 165/166, Backbay Reclamation, Mumbai -400 020, Maharashtra, India\n5 The present invention relates to a water-dispersible granulate comprising 40-90 wt. % of carbohydrates, 2-30 wt.% of lipids and at least 3% of unsaturated fatty acids by weight of the granulate.\n10 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION\nIt is well-known in the food industry that the application of oils containing high levels of unsaturated fatty acids can give rise to serious off-flavour problems. These off-flavour\n15 problems are associated with the oxidation of the unsaturated fatty acids, leading to the formation of volatile, potent flavour molecules, such as unsaturated aldehydes. Flavour attributes associated with oxidation products of unsaturated fatty acids include \"cardboard\", \"paint\", \"oily\", \"rancid\",\n20 \"metallic\" and \"fish\".\nWhilst all unsaturated fatty acids have been associated with the aforementioned stability problems, lipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids, notably lipids containing co-3 and/or co-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are known to be\n25 extremely susceptible to oxidation. Oxidation of the latter\nfatty acids yields volatile oxidation products that introduce a repugnant flavour to the product containing these fatty acid residues. Typical examples of co-3 PUFA include docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and \u03b1-linolenic acid\n30 (ALA) . Typical examples of co-6 fatty acid include linoleic acid (LA) , \u03b3-linolenic acid (GLA) and arachidonic acid (AA) .\nAlthough it is known that the rate of oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids may be reduced through the addition of anti\u00acoxidants, the application of such anti-oxidants at best delays the formation of unacceptable off-flavour. However, the shelf-5 life of products containing appreciable amounts of unsaturated fatty acids, especially food products and beverages, is inherently limited as a result of the inevitable oxidation of these fatty acid residues.\n10 Furthermore, in some product applications, e.g. in\nreconstitutable powders, it is extremely difficult to produce bland tasting products if these products contain a significant quantity of unsaturated fatty acids. The production of reconstitutable powders typically involves one or more\n15 processing steps at elevated temperatures (e.g. drying). The oxidation rate of unsaturated fatty acids, however, increases exponentially with incrementing temperature, especially if these fatty acids are exposed to elevated temperatures in the presence of air and/or pro-oxidants.\nMany scientific publications have been issued that strongly suggest that regular consumption of significant amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids can deliver important health benefits. Furthermore, there is ample evidence showing that in\n25 general unsaturated fatty acids are more healthy than saturated fatty acids. Hence, efforts have been made by the industry to develop food products and nutritional preparations that contain appreciable amounts of unsaturated fatty acids, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids. It has also been attempted to\n30 incorporate (poly)unsaturated fatty acids in reconstitutable powders.\nWO 2007/J22053\nUS 2005/018019 describes the encapsulation of a polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as \u03c9-3 and/or \u03c9-6 PUFA, by spray drying an emulsion containing a carrier to form a powder, followed by encapsulation in a fluid bed dryer. Suitable carriers are said 5 to include modified food starches, maltodextrins, proteins,\nsugars and mixtures thereof. It is stated in the US application that it is anticipated that the spray dried and encapsulated oils will be less susceptible to oxidation and the off tastes which accompany oxidation will be reduced. Example 2 describes\n10 how 1 kg of water, 100 g milk protein, 50 g modified food\nstarch, 50 g flow starch and 200 g oil are emulsified using a high pressure homogeniser, followed by spray drying. The spray dried powder is introduced in a fluid bed coater and sprayed under a nitrogen blanket with a mixture of carnauba wax and\n15 paraffin.\nUS 2004/0201116 describes a process of producing oil containing pellets wherein the oil is protected against oxidation. Example 8 describes the preparation of pellets containing\n20 polyunsaturated oil by mixing 0.5 kg soybean-based cellulose with 2 kg maltodextrin and slowly dissolving the mixture in 12.5 kg demineralised water. Next, 7.5 kg of the same quality maltodextrin was added slowly together with 3 kg polyunsaturated oil with a high speed mixer to form 22.5 kg\n25 pre-emulsion which was homogenised with a two stage homogeniser at a pressure of 250 bar and 275 bar. The mixture was fed to a fluid bed direct pelletising pilot installation to produce pellets with a particle size of between 250-355 urn. Using the same ingredients and process also pellets of a particle size of\n30 between 800-1180 urn were prepared. All the pellets prepared had an oil content of more than 23%.\nThe aforementioned processes for producing unsaturated fatty acids containing powders suffer from a number of disadvantages. First of all, these processes are very elaborate, amongst others because they require the use of a substantial amount of 5 water to prepare a pre-emulsion, whereas the same water needs to be removed later to yield a powder. Furthermore, the processes described in the prior art employ a spray drying step which, as mentioned herein before, due to the elevated temperatures accelerates oxidation of the unsaturated fatty 10 acids. Finally, powders having a small particle size, such as those described in US 2005/0181019 suffer from the disadvantage that they are not readily water-dispersible.\nEP-A 0 893 953 describes solid carrier particles onto whose 15 outer surface has been coated or absorbed at least one\npolyunsaturated fatty acid in liquid form, the particles being suitable for consumption by humans, and dispersible or miscible in water. Example 5 describes the preparation of a PUFA containing powder by mixing 75% maltodextrin (Glucidex\u00ae 19) 20 with 25% fungal arachidonic oil (40% ARA) in a high speed mixer (Grail\u00ae 300, Colette; 100 kg; mixing for 10 minutes, speed 1 for mixing arm and chopper). The maltodextrin Glucidex\u00ae 19 has a DE of 19 and a particle size well below 200 urn.\n25 Also in other areas, such as the flavour industry, efforts have been made to prepare oxidation-stable particulate compositions containing oxidation sensitive flavouring materials. US 5,506,353 describes the use of maltodextrin having a low DE in the preparation of a particulate flavour composition comprising\n30 a flavour oil (e.g. citrus oil). Example 3 describes the preparation of a particulate flavour composition comprising orange oil. The composition was prepared by centrifugal atomisation of an emulsion containing 43.61 wt. % water; 7.93\nwt.% orange oil; 35.25 wt.% Hystar\u00ae; 9.25 wt^% Maltrin\u00ae M040 and 3.96 wt.% Capsul\u00ae. It is observed that the resuiting particulate flavour composition showed no oxidation after-having been stored at 60\u00b0C for 4 weeks. Maltrin\u00ae M040 is 5 maltodextrin having 5 DE. The average Particle size of the particulate composition appears to be well below 200 um\nThere is compelling scientific evidence suggesting that iron deficiency during childhood hamper mental development. 10 Furthermore, it has been suggested that coqnitive capabilities may be impaired as a result of iron deficiency. Hence it is desirable to supplement nutritional products with iron. From a nutritional perspective, also supplement action with iron.From a desirable. Both iron and copper are well-known for their pro-15 oxidative properties. This is why product developers will\nalways try to minimize iron and copper levels in foodstuffs and beverages that contain unsaturated lipids Hence, it is a major challenge to provide an oxidation-stable granulate comprising a substantial amount of unsaturated fatty ^i^s as well as a 20 significant amount of iron and/or copper\n25 The inventors have succeeded in developing a readily water-dispersible granulate that contains a substantial amount of unsaturated fatty acids as well as a high level of iron and/or copper and which granulate is nonetheless very stable against oxidation. The granulate of the present invention is easy to\n30 manufacture by a process that does not employ emulsification or pro-oxidative conditions,\nPCTYEP2007/052810\nThe inventors have found that water-dispersible, highly oxidation-stable granulates comprising (i) 2-30 wt.% of lipids containing at least 3% of unsaturated fatty acids by weight of the granulate and (ii) at least 30 mg/kg of pro-oxidative metal 5 in the form of iron and/or copper can be produced without difficulty by:\n\u2022\tincorporating the lipids containing the unsaturated fatty\nacids as free or non-dispersed lipids;\n\u2022\tincorporating carbohydrates in an amount of 40-90% by weight\n10 of the granulate; and\n\u2022\tensuring that the mass weighted average diameter of the\ngranulate exceeds 100 um.\nThe present granulate can be produced under very mild 15 conditions by simply absorbing the lipids onto granules containing the carbohydrates and the pro-oxidative metal. Unlike spray drying methods, this method does not yield a powder in which the lipids containing the unsaturated fatty acids are dispersed in a carbohydrate matrix that protects the 20 lipids from the surrounding atmosphere. In the present\ngranulate, the lipids are present as free oil, rendering it truly surprising that the granulate exhibits exceptional oxidation stability in the presence of pro-oxidative metal.\n25 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION\nThus, one aspect of the invention relates to a water-dispersible granulate having a mass weighted average diameter of at least 100 um, preferably of at least 200 urn, said granulate comprising:\n30 \u2022 40-90 wt.% of carbohydrates;\n\u2022\t2-30 wt.% of lipids containing at least 1% unsaturated fatty\nacids by weight of the granulate and\n\u2022 at least 30 mg/kg of a pro-oxidative metal selected from the group consisting of iron, copper and combinations thereof; wherein at least 50wt.%, preferably at least 70wt.% of the 5 lipids is present as non-dispersed lipids.\nThe terms \"mean diameter\" and \"average diameter\" whenever used herein, refer to the mass-weighted average diameter. The mass-weighted average diameter of a granulate is suitably determined 10 with the help of sieves.\nThe term \"lipid\" as used herein encompasses fatty acid containing lipids selected from the group consisting of triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, phospholipids,\n15 free fatty acids and combinations thereof. Most preferably, the lipids of the present invention are selected from the group consisting of triglycerides, diglycerides and combinations thereof. Most preferably, the lipids are triglycerides. The term \"oil\" as used herein encompasses both lipids that are\n20 liquid or solid at e.g. 20\u00b0C. Preferably, the lipids have a melting point of less than 40\u00b0C, more preferably of less than 30\u00b0C, even more preferably of less than 20\u00b0C and most preferably of less than 10\u00b0C.\n25 The term \"fatty acid\" as used herein encompasses free fatty acids as well as fatty acid residues. Thus, the unsaturated fatty acids of the present invention may be contained in the granulate in the form of fatty acids residues of e.g. triglycerides and/or as free fatty acids.\nThe term \"water dispersible\" as used herein means that a granulate passes the following test: A sample of 20 g is added\nto a glass beaker (diameter=6 cm) containing 140 ml of water having a temperature of 75 \u00b0C. The mixture is stirred with a magnetic stirrer at a speed that produces a vortex in the liquid with a depth of 2 mm. Immediately thereafter, the 5 stirred mixture is poured over a 250 um sieve (diameter=10 cm) After 1 minute, the sieve is dried in an oven at 110 \u00b0C for 2 hours and weighted. If the observed weight increase of the sieve is less than 1 g, the granulate is water-dispersible. If not, the granulate is not water-dispersible. According to a 10 particularly preferred embodiment, the granulate is cold water dispersible, meaning that the powder is dispersible under the aforementioned test conditions, employing water with a temperature of 10\u00b0C.\n15 An important advantage of the present granulate resides in the fact that it can be produced without the preparation of a pre-emulsion in which the lipids are dispersed in a continuous (aqueous) phase containing one or more hydrocolloids. The use of such a pre-emulsion ensures that during drying, the\n20 dispersed lipids become encased as a dispersed phase in a matrix that is made up of the one or more hydrocolloids. In contrast, in the present granulate, the lipids are suitably absorbed onto pre-formed particles containing the carbohydrates and the pro-oxidative metal. Thus, in the granulate of the\n25 present invention, a substantial amount of the lipids is present as non-dispersed oil. Preferably, at least 80 wt.%, most preferably, at least 90 wt.% of the lipids is present as non-dispersed oil. The amount of lipids that is present as non-dispersed oil can suitably be determined by measuring the\n30 amount of \"free fat\", using the methodology described by Vega et al., J- Food Sci. (2005), 30:144-251.\nThe granulates made from pre-emulsions typically contain droplets of dispersed oil that have a small average diameter that is typically within the range of 0.1-10 urn. In contrast, in the present granulate preferably less than 30 wt.%, more 5 preferably less than 10 wt.% and most preferably less than 5 wt.% of the lipids is present as dispersed oil droplets with a diameter of less than 5 urn, especially of less than 10 urn.\nThe benefits of the present invention are particularly 10 pronounced in case the granulates contains at least 3 wt.% of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially polyunsaturated acids selected from the group consisting of co-3 fatty acids, co-6 fatty acids and combinations thereof.\n15 The granulates of the present invention are very stable against oxidation, even if these granulates contain substantial levels of the pro-oxidant metal. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the granulate contains at least 60 mg/kg, more preferably at least 120 mg/kg and most preferably at least 200\n20 mg/kg of the pro-oxidative metal. Usually, the content of the pro-oxidative metal does not exceed 800 mg/kg. According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the pro-oxidative metal is iron. The benefits of the present invention are particularly pronounced in case the iron is present as ferrous and/or ferric\n25 iron. Most preferably, the iron is present as ferrous iron.\nIron is suitably incorporated in the present granulates in the form of a water-soluble or water-insoluble salt. Examples of iron salt that may advantageously be incorporated in the 30 granulate include: iron fumarate, iron sulphate, iron EDTA, haeme iron, iron phosphate, iron pyrophosphate and iron citrate. According to a preferred embodiment, iron is incorporated as in the form of one or more iron salts selected\nfrom the group consisting of iron fumarate, iron sulphate, iron EDTA and haeme iron. The latter iron salts offer the advantage that they exhibit good bioavailability. Most preferably, the iron is incorporated in the form of iron fumarate. 5\nThe inventors have discovered that the granulates exhibiting particularly good oxidative stability can be prepared by incorporating 20-55 wt.% of maltodextrin, preferably with a DE value comprised between 2 and 20.\nAccording to a particularly preferred embodiment, the present granulate comprises at least 4 wt.%, more preferably 6-25 wt.%, must preferably 9-20 wt.% of lipids, Surprisingly, it was found that the present granulate retains both Excellent flowability\n15 and oxidation stability even if it contains up to 20 wt.% lipids.\nThe PUFA present in granulate of the invention are advantageously contained as fatty acids residues in the lipids.\n20 Typically, the lipids contain at least 20 wt.%, preferably at least 30 wt.% and most preferably at least 50 wt.% of unsaturated fatty acid residues, said percentages being calculated on the total amount of fatty acid residues contained in the lipids. Preferably, said unsaturated fatty acids are\n25 polyunsaturated fatty acids, most preferably polyunsaturated fatty acids selected from the group consisting of co-3 fatty acids, co-6 fatty acids and combinations thereof.\nSuitable sources of co-3 fatty acids and \u03c9-6 fatty acids include 30 fish oil, algae oil, linseed oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil and corn oil, fish oil, algae oil, linseed oil and rapeseed oil being particularly preferred. The benefits of\nthe present invention are particularly apparent if the granulate contains at least 0.2 wt.%, preferably at least 0.4 wt.% of a triglyceride oil selected from the group consisting of fish oil, algae oil, linseed oil and combinations thereof. 5\nPolyunsaturated acids that are particularly sensitive to oxidation and that produce particularly repugnant oxidation products include linoleic acid, a-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic\n10 acid. Hence, according to a particularly preferred embodiment, the present granulate comprises at least 0.1 wt.%, preferably at least 0.5 wt.%, more preferably at least 1 wt.% and most preferably at least 3 wt.% of polyunsaturated acids selected from the group consisting of linoleic acid, a-linolenic acid,\n15 eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, arachidonic acid and combinations thereof.\nBesides maltodextrin and the lipids, the present granulate may suitably contain other components, especially hydrophilic\n20 components such as carbohydrates, protein, salts and acids. Typically, the present granulate contains at least 50 wt.%, more preferably at least 70 wt.% of carbohydrates. Here the term carbohydrates encompasses any material that predominantly, preferably exclusively consists of monosaccharides and/or\n25 polymers of such monosaccharide units. Examples of\ncarbohydrates include monosaccharides (e.g. glucose, fructose), disaccharides (e.g. sucrose), trisaccharides (e.g. maltriose), oligosaccharides (e.g. high DE maltodextrin) and polysaccharides (e.g starch and low DE maltodextrin).\nAccording to a very preferred embodiment, the granulate comprises between 20 and 65 wt.%, preferably between 25 and 55\nPCT7EP2007/052810\nwt.% of a saccharide selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, disaccharides and combinations thereof.\nThe mean particle diameter of the present granulate usually 5 does not exceed 2000 urn. Water dispersibility of the present granulate is believed to be optimal if the granulate has a mean particle diameter of more than 400 um and not more than 1500 urn. Most preferably, the mean particle diameter is within the range of 600-1200 urn.\nIn order to be able to absorb a significant quantity of lipids, the non-lipid matrix of the present granulate needs to be porous. Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment, the present granulate has a bulk density within the range of 300-600 g/1,\n15 more preferably within the range of 350-450 g/1.\nThe present granulate, besides unsaturated fatty acids advantageously contains a number of nutritionally desirable ingredients such as minerals, vitamins, flavonoids,\n20 carotenoids, etc. In an advantageous embodiment, the granulate comprises between 1 and 20 g/kg, preferably between 2 and 10 g/kg of vitamin C. Also oxidation of vitamin C can be prevented very effectively by incorporating vitamin C in the present granulate.\nIn another preferred embodiment, the granulate comprises between 10 and 100 mg/kg, preferably between 30 and 80 mg/kg of vitamin E. The inclusion of vitamin E offers the advantage that it provides the PUFA with additional protection against\n30 oxidation.\nThe moisture content of the present granulate typically is less than 8 wt.%, preferably less than 5 wt.% moisture. The water\nactivity (aw) of the granulate is preferably between 0.1 and 0.4, more preferably between 0.15 and O.3.\nAnother aspect of the invention relates to a process of 5 preparing a granulate according to any One of the preceding claims, said process comprising the steps of:\n\u2022 preparing core particles containing the carbohydrates and the pro-oxidative metal, said core particles having a mass-weighted average diameter of at least 100 um; 10 \u2022 spraying the core particles with lipids containing the unsaturated fatty acids and allowing the lipids to be absorbed by the core particles; and \u2022 recovering the granulate.\n15 In accordance with a particularly preferred embodiment, the core particles are prepared by agglomerating a powder comprising the carbohydrates and the pro-oxidative metal and optionally other powder ingredients, by Spraying the powder with an aqueous liquid. In an even more Preferred embodiment,\n20 the powder is sprayed with an aqueous solution of a saccharide selected from the group consisting of monosaccharides, disaccharides and combinations thereof, followed by drying to obtain the agglomerated powder. The aquecous solution typically contains 5-35 wt.%, preferably 10-30 wt.% of saccharide.\nIn the present process the core particles are advantageously prepared by creating a fluid bed of the Powder to be agglomerated and by spraying it with a liquid to achieve agglomeration. This advantageous embodiment of the invention\n30 may suitably be operated in a fluid bed agglomerating device.\nAs explained herein before, the core particles should have a certain level of porosity in order to enable the absorption of a substantial amount of lipids. Preferably, the bulk density of the core particles employed in the present method is within the 5 range of 250-500 g/1, more preferably of 300-450 g/1.\nA major advantage of the present invention lies in the fact that it can be operated under mild conditions, especially at the stage when the lipids are sprayed onto the core particles. 10 Typically, the core particles are sprayed with the lipids at a temperature below 50\u00b0C, preferably below 40\u00b0C, most preferably at a temperature below 35\u00b0C.\nAs mentioned herein before, iron deficiency during childhood 15 can hamper mental development and cognitive capabilities may be impaired as a result of such iron deficiency. Also polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially \u03c9-3 fatty acids are believed to play an important role in mental development and cognitive function. The granulates according to the present 20 invention are a particularly useful vehicle for delivering a combination of nutritional components that can be used in the treatment of prevention of retarded mental development or diminished cognitive function. Accordingly, another aspect of the invention relates to the use of the granulates of the 25 present invention in the preparation of a composition for the treatment or prevention of retarded mental development or diminished cognitive function.\nThe invention is further illustrated by means of the following 30 examples.\nA granulate according to the present invention was prepared 5 using a fluid bed agglomerater (Aeromatic\u2122 S-3, fluid bed granulator [Aeromatic-Fielder - GEA/NIRO]).\nThe fluid bed agglomerater was loaded with 21.5 kg of a powder mixture of the following composition:\nSugar\t38.9\nMaltodextrin DE 2 (Glucidex 2)\t25.4\nMaltodextrin DE 12 (Glucidex IT12)\t25,4\nWheat flour\t8.5\nVitamin/mineral/colours/fla vours blend #\t1.8\n10 # Comprising micronised iron fumarate (ex Dr Paul Lohmann GmbH, Germany) and vitamin C\nThe fluid bed was heated to 42\u00b0C and sprayed with a 2700g of a 20% sugar solution at a rate of 255 g/min. Subseguently, the 15 fluid bed consisting of agglomerated granules was dried for 10-12 minutes with air whilst maintaining a bed temperature of not more than 45\u00b0C. Next, the temperature of the fluid bed was\nreduced to 25\u00b0C, following which 3.5 kg of liquid oil was sprayed onto the fluidised granules at a rate of 250 g/min, whilst maintaining a bed temperature of not more than 30\u00b0C.\nThe liquid oil consisted of 25 parts soybean oil and 1 part 5 fish oil (containing >32 wt.% DBA and A granulate was obtained with the following composition:\nMaltodextrin DE 2\t22\nMaltodextrin DE 12\t22\nSoya oil $\t12.2\nFish oil &\t0.5\nVitamin/mineral mix/colours/flavours #\t1.6\n# Including 300 mg/kg iron and 6 g/kg vitamin C by weight of total granulate\n10 & Containing 0.8 mg/g a-tocopherol (vitamin E} $ Containing 3 mg/g a-tocopherol\nThe granulate so obtained was water-dispersible, had a mass 15 weighted mean particle diameter of 600 \\im and a bulk density of 380 g/1.\nPart of the granulate was packaged under vacuum in sachets (21 g per sachet), which sachets were sealed by an inner layer of aluminium and PP with a thickness 9 u.m. Another part of the granulate was packaged in sachets (21 g per sachet) made of 5 BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) film. The aluminum\nsachets were stored for 3 months at 40\u00b0C and a relative humidity of 90%. The BOPP sachets were stored for 1 month under the same conditions. After these storage periods, the granules were dissolved into 140 ml of cold milk and the resulting\n10 beverages were tasted by an expert panel.

        "raw_content": "We have been back in the United States for three months now. We are striving to serve the Lord in our home church in Springfield, Missouri. I am writing especially to thank all of you for your faithful prayers and support through the 16 years we ministered in the Czech Republic. We believe the Lord did use, and will continue to use the Words of the Lord we planted in their hearts of the Czech people. Several people have contacted us to declare how much our time in Czech meant to them personally. We know some were truly saved, others may still be on the way to repentance, but God will receive glory and praise through it all. The Word of God was faithfully preached and we have His promise that it will not return void.\nAfter a great deal of time in prayer and meditation, we are convinced that the Lord would have us establish a base in Springfield as \u201cHome Missionaries\u201d. We will work alongside Pastor Norwood, to build the work here. The church has an aging congregation that gives sacrificially to support the numerous ministries sponsored by Grace Bible Baptist Church. In order for this to continue into the future, there is a need to evangelize, witness, and otherwise labor here. At the same time, I plan, Lord willing, to be available to fill-in for foreign missionaries needing to take a short term furlough. There is an opportunity to return to Czech for the summer months to labor in place of another man who needs to travel home. This will only be possible if we are able to maintain sufficient support. Even though I will be on staff here at Grace, there are not funds available to even assist with our needs. Therefore, we are asking you, those which know us well and have supported us for many years, to continue to do so, should the Lord allow.\nIf our supporting churches determine that this is not something they can support, I will need to find a secular job. Doing so will seriously limit my ability to minister as the Lord would have me to serve. It is still our greatest desire to see souls saved and to labor for the Lord. We love and appreciate all of you, regardless of how the Lord leads you in this matter.",

        "raw_content": "I figured I'd take Frances' hint and post on Andrew Jackson Donelseon, another one of the Jacksons' \"children.\" I posted on his first wife, Emily, earlier (as a note, they were first cousins). When I was writing on Andrew Jackson, Jr., I actually kept finding things on Andrew Jackson Donelson in any case!\nYou can find entries on him in both the Tennessee Encylopedia and the Handbook of Texas. Andrew Jackson Donelson was the nephew of Rachel Jackson and spent part of his early life at the Hermitage:\nAndrew Jackson Donelson, son of Samuel and Mary Donelson, was a soldier, lawyer, politician, and diplomat. After his father's death around 1804 and his mother's remarriage, Donelson was reared at the Hermitage, home of his aunt, Rachel Donelson Jackson, and his namesake Andrew Jackson. He graduated from West Point, second in his class, and served as General Jackson's aide-de-camp during the Seminole campaign. After this conflict, he resigned from the army and studied law at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky.\nIn 1823 Donelson returned to Nashville to practice law and within the year married his first cousin, Emily Tennessee Donelson. He inherited his father's property adjacent to the Hermitage, and the Donelsons had their home, Tulip Grove, constructed while they were in Washington with President Jackson during most of his two terms. Donelson served as the president's private secretary, and Emily acted as the official hostess of the White House. Emily died of tuberculosis in 1836, shortly after Tulip Grove was completed, leaving four small children. Donelson remarried five years later and had eight more children with his second wife, Elizabeth Martin Randolph.\nAs Frances noted, Andrew Jackson Donelson played a crucial role in the annexation of Texas into the US:\nIn 1844 President John Tyler appointed Donelson charg\u00e9 d'affaires of the United States to the Republic of Texas. His duties were to present American propositions to President Anson Jones and to further the cause of annexation of the republic to the United States. Donelson performed both tasks with skill and diplomacy. In March 1845, while he was temporarily in New Orleans, Congress passed a joint resolution admitting Texas to the Union, provided that the state adopt a republican form of government before July 1846. On April 12, 1845, Donelson interviewed President Jones, and on April 15 Jones called Congress to meet on June 16, 1845. Jones presented the proposition of the United States, and the offer was accepted unanimously. A convention was called to meet on July 4, 1845, and the ordinance accepting the terms outlined in the joint resolution of the United States Congress was passed the same day. Donelson was given a certified copy of the ordinance, which he forwarded to the secretary of state.\nThe Texas State Library and Archives Commission has an online exhibit on the annexation of Texas and it includes information on Andrew Jackson Donelson's contributions and two original letters written in the period (both scanned images and transcripts are available). One is Ebenezer Allen and the other is to Sam Houston.\nThis was not the end of his career though:\nHis success in this undertaking [annexation of Texas] led to his appointment as minister to Prussia from 1846 to 1849. In 1851 he became editor of the Washington Union but left this position as the Democratic Party moved toward sectionalism.\nDonelson ran for vice-president on the Millard Fillmore ticket with the support of the Know-Nothing Party in 1856. Their loss ended his national political career. In 1858 he sold Tulip Grove to Mark Cockrill and moved his family and his law practice to Memphis, where he remained active in local politics. He died in Memphis in 1871.\nAs you can see, Andrew Jackson Donelson had an interesting life!\nLabels: Andrew Jackson, Mexican-American War, Presidential Families\nWow, that was quick! Awesome information about Andrew Jackson Donelson. Thank you so much for posting about this. The history of Texas annexation is fascinating, and Donelson was one of the many interesting players.",

        "title": "Iowa State Releases Another Land Use Study | American Fuels",
        "raw_content": "Last week, economists at Iowa State University released another land use study. In it they make a case that because standard life cycle analysis don't take some factors such as land use changes into account, that a new method for measuring greenhouse gas emissions is needed for biofuels. And they suggest a method called system wide analysis.\nLife cycle analysis (LCA) is the standard approach used to evaluate the greenhouse gas (GHG) benefits of biofuels. However, it is increasingly recognized that LCA results do not account for some impacts\u2014including land use changes\u2014that have important implications on GHGs. Thus, an alternative accounting system that goes beyond LCA is needed. In this paper, we contribute to the literature by laying out the basics of a system-wide accounting (SWA) method that takes into account all potential changes in GHGs resulting from biofuel expansion. We applied both LCA and SWA to assess the GHG impacts of ethanol based on Iowa corn.\nThe part that strikes me as odd about all this is that they are continuing to compare biofuels to the past methods of producing gasoline. For example...\nFor many products, including fossil fuels, a standard LCA is generally\nall that is needed to understand GHG emission implications.\nIn other words they are suggesting that the production of gasoline doesn't cause any land use impacts. While that may be true for offshore drilling or drilling in the desert, it doesn't apply to projects such as the oil sands of Canada.\nThe oil sands of Canada are found underneath an area over 54,000 square miles in size. The deposits are recovered by one of two methods. Deposits that lie close to the surface are recovered through strip mining, deposits that lie deeper underground are recovered in situ, meaning in place.\nThe area that is to be strip mined is about 1300 square miles in size. And since that requires that the existing swampland be drained and forest be cleared, that means there are some really big land use impacts to be considered.\nThe area that will be subject to in situ recover techniques will also have land use issues as roads will have to be cut and pipelines laid in.\nSo there are land use issues that need to be considered for oil as well.\nThe oil sands also require much more energy to recover than conventional deposits of oil. That means that the energy balance of oil sands is lower. In fact it is estimated that it takes the amount of energy in a barrel of oil to recover 3 barrels of oil in this manner. And the amounts of greenhouse gases associated with recovery are also about 3 times higher.\nRefining is also harder and greenhouse gas emissions associated with refining oil sands oil is estimated to be 15% to 40% higher than oil from conventional sources.\nSo not only does the oil sands projects cause land use changes that needs to be accounted for but it also produces larger amounts of greenhouse gases at the refineries.\nAs the easier sources of conventional crude oil are used up more and more production will be shifting to these types of projects. In addition to the Canadian oil sands projects, oil sands in Venezuela are already starting to be produced as well.\nAnd as it is, Canada is our largest supplier of oil and about 47% of the oil produced in Canada in 2006 came from oil sands.\nThe point I am trying to make is that the researchers shouldn't be performing system wide analysis (SWA) on ethanol and comparing that to gasoline's life cycle analysis (LCA). They should be scrutinizing both ethanol and gasoline with the same analysis method.\nGreenhouse Gas Impacts of Ethanol from Iowa Corn: Life Cycle Analysis versus System-wide Accounting\nAlberta Energy: Oil Sands\nAlberta Energy: What is Oil Sands\nEIS: Tar Sands\nWikipedia: Tar Sands\nThe Harm the Tar Sands Will Do\nRefinery pollution may soar",

        "title": "A WORD FOR TODAY, December 2004",
        "raw_content": "Welcome to the December Archive. You are welcome to read the entire archive, or find a topic on the list below that is of interest to you. Just click the link, and you will be taken directly to the day it was written. Enjoy, and may you know God's peace as you read His Word.\nScripture quotes taken from the American Standard Version\nA WORD FOR TODAY, December 2004\nAdvent It is December 1 and it is beginning to look a lot like Christmas around our neighborhood. It seems like another house lights up with colorful decorations each day. We use Christmas lights to overcome the darkness of this world. It is getting closer to winter and the longest night of the year. The days are shorter and the inclement weather makes it gloomy. The lights remind us of the coming holiday and make us smile even while we are frustrated by our busy schedules and all that we have to accomplish.\nSome people have had their Christmas decorations up for weeks. The problem with starting it all too early is that it confuses the children. They do not have any sense of time. They do not understand the difference between two days and two weeks. Everything is soon and it can be so disappointing when soon takes so long. As I have been preparing my lesson plans for December, several books have mentioned the need to be aware of the children\u2019s impatience and their frustration. In their excitement, they will be less attentive and less likely to sit still for long periods of time. It is important for us to plan lessons that will be short and exciting, moving quickly from one activity to another.\nIt is also important to give the children some sense of the time. We made advent chains in our class yesterday. This is a chain of twenty-five loops which the children will use to count the days until Christmas. Beginning this morning, they can tear off one loop for every day. It will be Christmas Day when the loops are all gone. We have other Advent calendars in house. We have several devotional books we like to use, as well as trees that get filled with ornaments as time passes. We have found calendars filled with chocolates \u2013 they get to eat one piece each day. We also have a fabric calendar that has pockets in which I can put toys or candy for each day. As the children have grown older, they have lost interest in the cheap plastic toys I used to use. Last year I found bible verse cards. Now, when they go to the calendar each day, they are fed with the word of God.\nThe Church looks at this period of preparation much differently than the world. We decorate our homes with lights to overcome the darkness, but in faith we are called to empty ourselves of our worldly fa\u00e7ades to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Light which is Jesus. We rush and worry about all the things we need to do before Christmas Day arrives, but our faith calls us to rest in the hope of the promise. We grow tired chasing after the light when we should just wait patiently as the Light comes to us.\n\u201cWhy sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from Jehovah, and the justice due to me is passed away from my God? Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The everlasting God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary; there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.\u201d Isaiah 40:27-30 (ASV)\nIt is fun to get involved with the whole Christmas spirit. We have lights on our home and are working on making in the inside festive. We are enjoying the hunt for the perfect gift and the planning for the season. Unfortunately, there are many people who suffer greatly during this month. They are stressed out and frustrated. They are anxious and worried. They are trying to find something that can\u2019t be found while missing out on the very thing that would really fill the void in their hearts.\nAnother translation of this passage uses the word \u2018hope\u2019 instead of \u2018wait\u2019 in verse 31. The lights on the houses are beautiful at this time of year and it certainly helps brighten our dark days. But those lights offer no real solution to our troubles. Advent is supposed to be a time of joy and preparation. Unfortunately, it is often a time of depression and destruction. More marriages fail and more people commit suicide during the holidays than at any other time of year. People can\u2019t handle the stress because there is no hope in worldly preparations we make. There is hope in Christ, and it is this hope that should be our focus as we count the days until Christmas. Thanks be to God.\nSnowmen We made scribble snowmen in preschool today. The whole idea was to scribble white on to a sheet of blue paper. After that was finished, the children were to find what looked like the head, glue on some eyes and a nose, and then add green and red buttons to make it look Christmassy. Now, this was an unusual activity because Miss Peggy usually expects the children to color neatly in the lines and make people pictures with eyes, nose and mouth.\nWhat I found interesting about this exercise is that the children who are more advanced in their drawing ability had more difficulty dealing with the free form of this project. They automatically drew circles for the head and body, added the eyes and nose. They did not like scribbling; they wanted it to be a clear picture of the snowman. This was fine, the pictures turned out great and the snowmen are very cute. It just goes to show you that people of different gifts and abilities are able to succeed at different times and in different ways.\nThis is very true of our spiritual journeys. We do not all have to be in the same place at the same time. And we certainly all do not have the same gifts. There are some Christians that are mature in their faith and others that are just getting started. There are those who have discovered their gifts and are using them daily to glorify God and others who are just beginning to see how abundantly God blesses His children. We need to understand these differences and learn how to love one another despite them. A mature Christian should never consider him or herself better than another Christian based on these differences. We are brought together by the power of the Holy Spirit to guide and encourage one another. And we have to remember that sometimes the things we can do make it difficult to do the things we should be doing.\nI\u2019ve heard it said that new Christians make better witnesses than age old Christians. The reason for this is the fact that the new Christian has a passionate heart for evangelism and they aren\u2019t stuck on the details. The mature Christian often trips over his or her knowledge, concerning themselves more with the getting the doctrines of faith right and perfect rather than speaking the simple word of God into the lives of those who will hear. It is necessary to grow and mature, but we have to remember that all children of God have gifts, even when they are just tiny babies. And sometimes the babies can do things better than the adults.\n\u201cThen were there brought unto him little children, that he should lay his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.\u201d Matthew 19:13-15 (ASV)\nThere is nearly a year between the ages of some of my children at preschool. While a year seems like nothing to adults, at four and five a year makes a huge difference. Their motor and critical thinking skills develop quickly. They are more vocal as they grow older and they are developing a sense of identity that helps them project more clearly onto a page their vision of the world. They understand things better such as body parts. The five year old is more likely to draw limbs and facial features, while a four-year-old\u2019s person is out of proportion with missing body parts.\nYet, even the younger child has something to add to our class and they can do many things as well as the other children. They are an important part of our group and I am glad when I can find something that shows their abilities and encourages them. This is how it should be with those who are mature in faith. Rather than finding fault with a young Christian\u2019s understanding of God, we should be finding their gifts and encouraging them so that they too will use their gifts to the glory of God. I think all too often we squelch the fire that burns in the hearts of new Christians because we try to force them to be at the same place on a faith journey others instead of helping them to grow from where they are.\nCranes Sadako Sasaki was a young Japanese girl who developed Leukemia in 1955. Paper folding, or origami, was a well established recreational activity in Japan for centuries by the time Sadako lived. There were certain patterns that were especially popular, based on the cultural icons of the Japanese people. In 1797 a book was published called \u201cHiden Senbazuru Orikata\u201d which means \u201cThe Secret of One Thousand Paper Cranes Origami.\u201d This book was the first to describe the steps in making origami, a tradition that had been passed verbally for over a millennium. By this time there was already a tradition that if a person folded one thousand paper cranes, they would be granted one wish by the gods.\nSadako\u2019s best friend convinced her to fold a thousand paper cranes so that she could wish for good health. Unfortunately, Sadako died before she was able to finish her task. Her classmates finished her work and she was buried with her cranes. There is now a memorial sculpture honoring Sadako and her hope for peace in the world. Her Leukemia was the aftereffects of the radiation of the Hiroshima bomb. Those paper cranes became a symbol of the hope for peace in the world. Now children from all over the world send paper cranes to the memorial to share in the hope.\nThe legend of the paper cranes has spread to other countries and is being taken up by even the governments that have reached the end of their ropes when it comes to dealing with violence in their nations. Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand recently instructed his cabinet in the making of paper cranes and they spent a meeting making paper cranes. There is a movement in the nation to somehow overcome the insurgency that has ripped apart the lives of so many people in south Thailand. On Sunday, December 5, they will drop nearly 100 million paper cranes on three provinces. The cranes have been made by people all over the country and will be dropped by military plane to mark the birthday of their king.\nThere are those who consider this a wasted effort. They see the dropping of a 100 million paper cranes as nothing more than an inconvenience to those who will have to clean up the mess after it is all over. They may be right to an extent. The gods do not grant wishes and paper can\u2019t stop bullets. However, the Prime Minister recognizes that there is a great need among the people in those places \u2013 a need for hope. That hope needs to go beyond just symbolic gestures, so he has promised to give a scholarship to every student that finds a paper crane with his signature will receive a scholarship and the unemployed will be found a job.\n\u201cFor we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth? But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.\u201d Romans 8:22-25 (ASV)\nWe put our hope in many things. Sadako put her hope in a thousand paper cranes, but that hope disappointed because she was unable to finish them before she died. Her friends put their hope in the same cranes, hoping that they would bring peace to the world. Perhaps it is a waste to drop 100 million paper cranes in a war torn area and it certainly is not something in which we should put our hope. Even the promise of a scholarship or job is so remote that it will be disappointing for the many people for whom such a gift would be life-changing.\nAs Christians we have a hope that does not disappoint. It is a hope that we can\u2019t see or touch or feel. The world looks no different today than it did before Jesus\u2019 birth. It is still filled with sinners, suffering and pain. Yet, there is a difference because we now live in a hope that does not disappoint; a hope in the promises of God that we will receive in His day. It is especially manifest during this time of Advent while we wait for the birth of our Lord Jesus and look forward to the second coming of our King. We live in hope, looking forward to that which will be rather than hoping for impossible dreams.\nFeast of St. Nicholas There is a house down the street that has a fabric representation of Santa Claus hanging by its fingertips from the rooftop as if he had slid off the roof and is holding on for dear life. Of course, Santa has made his presence known in other places. He's at the mall getting his picture taken with children who are giving him their Christmas wish lists. He is appearing in parades, movies and on television. He is a major part of the American Christmas celebration and he's making his way into the cultures of other countries.\nSanta did not start out as a big fat guy wearing a red suit trimmed in fur. He evolved from a much older story of a Christian saint that did wonderful kindnesses. It is said that Nicholas was orphaned at a young age by wealthy parents. His generosity showed from a very early age. One story tells of a poor man who was going to have to sell his daughters into prostitution because he could not afford their dowry. Nicholas threw a bag of gold coins through the window of a poor man\u2019s house, a generous gift that saved the girl from a horrible fate. Nicholas also gave the man dowries for his other daughters. Other stories describe him as a lifesaver \u2013 sailors from a storm and three innocent men from execution whose deaths were bought with a bribe. Yet another story tells that one day as Nicholas knelt in prayer in a church, an elderly minister approached him and asked who he was. The young Nicholas replied, \u201cNicholas the sinner. And I am your servant.\u201d Soon after, Nicholas was made bishop of Myra.\nDecember 5th was traditionally the day the Christian church celebrated the Feast of St. Nicholas, but due to a lack of evidence about his life, his feast was dropped from the calendar. It was traditional to give gifts to children on his feast day. Children were always an important part of the celebration of St. Nicholas\u2019s life. A boy was selected to be bishop from December 6th to Holy Innocent\u2019s Day (December 28). This probably came from the story of how Nicholas answered the call into ministry.\nAs Christians began to celebrate Christ\u2019s birth around the winter solstice, Nicholas became known as Father Christmas and the traditions surrounding his feast were moved to December 25. As St. Nicholas evolved into Santa Claus, the focus has continued to be on children, though now he is more like a magician than a saint. The giving of gifts has become a way to bribe the children into good behavior, so that the presents are more like rewards than gifts. The gifts of St. Nicholas were gifts that saved the recipients from horrible lives, even death. The dowries were given not because the girls had earned the money, but because Nicholas had such great love that he wanted to save them from the life of prostitution. The men who were saved from death were not necessarily innocent, but Nicholas gave them the gift of life. In these stories, we see examples of the kind of love our Lord Jesus had for us. We did nothing to earn His love or deserve His gifts, yet He gave more than we can even imagine.\n\u201cI thank him that enabled me, even Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to his service; though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief; and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief: howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life. Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.\u201d 1 Timothy 1:12-17 (ASV)\nSanta Claus is very much a part of Christmas in many places in the world. Gift giving also has a long tradition, for many it is the whole purpose of the holiday. We spend Advent preparing for the day, spending too much money on too many things that have little to do with the real reason for the season \u2013 Jesus. We can still include kindness and giving as part of our Christmas traditions if we recall stories the Christ-like generosity of those figures we identify with the Christmas story. The wise men gave gifts, just as St. Nicholas is remembered for his generosity. We need to remember, however, that it is not the presents that make Christmas, but rather the birth of our Lord Jesus, the greatest gift of all. Though we should be wary of the focus on Santa Claus, there are many aspects of the St. Nicholas story we should continue to impress on our children \u2013 love, generosity and commitment. But most of all, we can look at the stories of St. Nicholas and remember the great sacrifice made by our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave us the greatest gift of all, forgiveness and true life. Thanks be to God.\nTurboman In the movie \u201cJingle All the Way\u201d Arnold Schwarzenegger goes to great lengths to get the hottest toy for his kid. He\u2019s willing to pay any price or do anything to make the boy\u2019s Christmas the best ever. His real reason is much less selfless \u2013 he\u2019d been rather distant from his family for months, working way too many hours and breaking too many promises. When he realized he was about to break another one, he tried to move heaven and earth to find the toy. There was another character that wanted the same toy. These two kept meeting up with one another, trying to out bid or out run the other to win the prize. Arnold\u2019s character found himself in the perfect position to get the toy and he gave it to his son. Patience won out, and in the end the son realized that he didn\u2019t need the special toy because he had such a terrific dad. He gave it to the other guy and everyone lived happily ever after.\nWe think that the only way to have a happy Christmas is to fulfill the desires of our family and friends, so we spend way too much money on the things that we think they should have. Unfortunately, our decisions are often guided by advertisements \u2013 the merchandisers pick and choose the important things to have each year and fill our homes with print and television ads hyping this item or that item. They make us feel like our lives will be incomplete if we don\u2019t have that new toy or electronic gadget. They entice our children until we give in because we do not want them to be disappointed. Unfortunately, most of us can\u2019t afford to spend a thousand dollars on a few Christmas presents and if we did, the hot item is often gone even before we can get to the store to purchase it. It was humorous in the movie to see Arnold running all over the town for a doll, but it is not so much fun when it is our task to find the hot item of the year.\n\u201cWhat profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth? I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith. He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it; and God hath done it, that men should fear before him.\u201d Ecclesiastes 3:9-14 (ASV)\nIt is fun to give, to share our blessings with those we love and we should not cancel Christmas because it seems like the true meaning has gotten lost in a pile of advertisements. What we need to remember as we continue our preparations for Christmas is that the advertisers do not really know what will make us happy. They know how to sell things, to make the items look appealing to the consumer even if the consumer can\u2019t afford them. They know how to make it seem like the world will end if that item is not under the Christmas tree.\nThough we might want the hottest item or the newest game, we need to consider the cost of purchasing that which will eventually spoil or fall apart. Is it really worth standing in line or going into debt for something that will be forgotten in a day, week or month? No, there are much greater gifts to be given this holiday season \u2013 love, time, faith, hope and peace. Our children might be disappointed if they don\u2019t get that toy, but they will be even more disappointed if we do not have the time to enjoy the season with them. Most of all, we need to realize that Christmas is about the work God has done, giving us the greatest gift. It is eternal \u2013 the forgiveness, the grace, and the peace that comes from hope in His promises. Turboman will not save anyone, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ has. Thanks be to God.\nPeace In 1986, when asked about the peace efforts around the world, Richard Nixon said, \u201cAs American, we have many great strengths, but one of our weaknesses is impatience. The Russians think in terms of decades, the Chinese in terms of centuries. Americans think in terms of years, months, and even days. But if the quest for a realistic, lasting peace, we expect overnight success \u2013 instant gratification \u2013 we are bound to be disappointed.\u201d I suppose this quote is as appropriate for our world today as it was nearly twenty years ago.\nThis impatience appears in all aspects of our life, particularly when we are suffering from illness or injustice. We get tired of laying around, so we push ourselves to get moving too fast. We stop taking medicine the minute it seems we are better, even when the prescription calls for a regimen that lasts several days or even weeks. We think that just because we are felling better today, we don\u2019t need to continue with the care. However, our body has not yet overcome the infection and we suffer a relapse.\nWhen the difficulty is some sort of injustice, we become frustrated when evil has any sort of victory. We do not like to see anyone suffer; we do not like to suffer ourselves. So, when the rich oppress the poor or the powerful afflict the weak, we cry out in confusion and anger. We can\u2019t explain why the world has to work this way. It is this very uncertainty that makes a great many people doubt the existence of God. How could a loving and compassionate God allow such things to happen? How could the Savior tolerate the arrogance of the wicked as they celebrate in their victories? We want the suffering to be gone now. Today, not tomorrow or in a few years. We demand that God finish the job according to our expectations even though we can\u2019t see or know the world through God\u2019s perspective. Sometimes there is a greater victory to be won on the other side of the suffering.\n\u201cBe patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors. Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord. Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful. But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.\u201d James 5:7-12 (ASV)\nThe verses that precede this passage from James give warning to the rich and the powerful about their sins against God and humanity. It warns them that their life of luxury and self-indulgence will be repaid at the Day of Judgment. This is a passage of hope to those who have suffered under their hands. Yet, the promise in James does not say that God\u2019s people will not face suffering, but rather that they need to stand firm and be patient through it. If a farmer tries to pick his crop too early, he will end up with a poor quality and quantity of produce. The plants need that final rainfall to complete the growth cycle. So, too, does God\u2019s plan need to be allowed to go to its conclusion according to His perspective. Even when t seems as though the wicked are winning the battle, we know God has won the war. We need only live with patience and trust, knowing that God will bring us through. Thanks be to God.\nMeter A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn\u2019t find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: \u201cI have circled the block 10 times. If I don\u2019t park here, I\u2019ll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.\u201d When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note, \u201cI\u2019ve circled this block for 10 years. If I don\u2019t give you a ticket, I\u2019ll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.\u201d\nI read this joke recently and it really made me laugh. I thought about all those times when I was running just a bit late hoping for that close parking spot. It is amazing how much longer it takes to get some place when a parking spot is unavailable. A quick trip into a grocery store can take five or ten extra minutes when it is busy, considering the longer walk to and from the car. Now, I\u2019m not one to go driving around a parking lot for hours just to find that perfect spot, but I do admit that when I am rushed I hope that I will get lucky. It is very tempting to park illegally, especially when we think we\u2019ll just be a minute. What harm could it do?\nYet, whenever we do something wrong, we put others in a bad position. It is a no-parking zone for a reason \u2013 not just to inconvenience us. It disrupts the normal traffic pattern, causes hazards for pedestrians and blocks access for emergency vehicles. When we park illegally, we make people angry and perhaps even put lives at risk. It may seem like a victimless crime, but we never know how our sin will affect others.\nNow, as we live in Christ, we know that we are forgiven, even those sins which we have not yet done. Yet, we should not expect that forgiveness will necessarily remove the consequences of our sin. In our story, the minister\u2019s greater sin was not that he parked illegally but that he expected to get away with it by asking forgiveness. In doing so, however, he put another man into a difficult situation. Should he have compassion on one man and forgive the sin, or should he protect many others from the possible dangers created by this sin?\n\u201cHave mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions; And my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, And done that which is evil in thy sight; That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, And be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, That the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.\u201d Psalm 51:1-9 (ASV)\nOur Lord Jesus Christ has answered this prayer of the psalmist. He has had mercy on us, cleansed us from our sin and forgiven us our trespasses. This is the joy of our faith, that though we were dead to our sins, He has made us alive to sing and praise His holy name. This life is not meant to live on the edge, doing the things that make our life comfortable and convenient but that also put others into the position of temptation between right and wrong. We are made saints through faith, but we remain sinners in this life, tempted to do the things we should not do. Sometimes we do these things willfully, asking for forgiveness even while we are doing them.\nThe next time we are tempted to park in a no-parking zone, I hope that we will all remember that our sins put others in jeopardy even when it seems like a minor infraction. Grace forgives. Grace also allows us to suffer the consequences of our sin so that we will know how we affect the world around us when we give in to the temptations that we face. Forgiveness is never a license to do what we know is wrong, it is a gift from God which sets us free to live and love according to His word. Thanks be to God.\nAngels If we think that the Christmas season is hectic for us, imagine what it must be like for Santa! He has to get presents ready for millions of children all around the world, get his sleigh souped up and keep his elves in line. We might go to a couple of parties, he has t be at every one! Whatever we have planned, magnify it by a million or so and you have Santa\u2019s schedule. Well, one day Santa was feeling a bit frazzled by all the activities of the day and he was ready to bite the head off the next person to ask him a question. At that moment an angel came into Santa\u2019s office to ask him where he wanted to put the Christmas tree. Santa responded, \u201cI\u2019ll tell you where to put it!\u201d and that\u2019s how the tradition of putting angels at the top of the tree began.\nOk, so a bit of humor can\u2019t hurt our frazzled minds, especially since we are all probably feeling a bit like Santa at this point. Two weeks until Christmas and there is much to do, yet we should not get so involved in the wrapping that we forget about the present that is found on the inside. Christmas is about Jesus and I wonder how many have taken the time to remember the Christmas story and think about the people involved in this wonderful event.\nTake the angels, for instance. In our little joke, the angel did not bring very good news. As a matter of fact, the last thing Santa wanted to hear was another question. We tend to think about angels as being bearers of good news \u2013 and certainly the messages they gave were good news to us. But was it what the hearers of that day wanted to hear? Mary was visited by an angel that told her she would bear a child \u2013 for a young virgin this was not good news. The community would make her an outcast and she would be rejected by her husband to be. Joseph had a visit from an angel that told him to take Mary as his wife despite her pregnancy. Both Mary and Joseph believed the message of the angels, but it could not have been easy to accept these strange experiences. Another visit was made to some shepherds in a field.\n\u201cAnd there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased.\u201d Luke 2:8-14 (ASV)\nMany people collect angels, I have several that I keep on display in my home. These statues and pictures show angels as sweetness and light, beautiful beings with wings made of soft white feathers and looks of love on their faces. They are often playing instruments or displaying a prayerful attitude. They are creatures that would bring no bad news; they would cause no one fear. Most of us would not mind meeting an angel face to face.\nYet, whenever we hear about the visits of these awesome beings they say, \u201cDo not be afraid.\u201d The message the angel took to the shepherds was indeed good news \u2013 the king was born in Bethlehem. Yet, I do not think they would have been immediately excited about the visit. Imagine what it was like for those shepherds to be in a dark field when suddenly a light surrounded them \u2013 not just any light, but the glory of the Lord. Then, a great host of angels appeared singing praises to God. We might wish we had been among those present in that field that day \u2013 the first witnesses to the birth of Christ \u2013 but I think our emotions would have been much different if we had been. I am sure it would have been a most humbling experience.\nAs we are caught up in all the hustle and bustle of the holiday, it is easy to forget the awesomeness of what is happening. The Lord God Almighty has come to earth in the form of a child \u2013 God in flesh, Emmanuel. We think of Christmas much like those angels we have on our shelves \u2013 sweet, beautiful, joyful and filled with peace. Yet, Christmas is an awesome event, the time when God ripped through the barriers of time and space to come in flesh to save the world. This is cause to make us think and humble ourselves to receive this good news that the angels bring. Thanks be to God.\nNatural phenomenon As we have learned recently, when it rains streams form in the desert and run wildly, if only for a brief period of time. There is a creek not far from our house that was absolutely dry when we arrived in Texas ten months ago. Every time I drove over this creek, I wondered how long it had been dry. It seemed as though it might have had water fairly recently, but I could not imagine how it would dry up so fast. We have had a very wet fall, the aquifer is so high that springs are flowing in the back of some people\u2019s yards and the dry creek beds are still running with water. The water flows along the natural path of the earth when it can not seep into the ground.\nNow, I can imagine the cowboys or natives in the days of old Tejas, when there was little scientific understanding of this natural phenomenon, telling tales about this mysterious flow of water. They may have attributed the phenomenon to the wrath of the gods, to demons or spirits or to some other supernatural cause. These myths or legends may still have some value for our society because the ancient stories taught us a lesson about caring for creation or living uprightly in this world. However, we can easily discount the story from being scientific or historical representation of the truth.\nIt is not surprising, then, that the world will seek to discount our own stories that are found in the scriptures. I watched some of a program on the Discovery Channel last night about the Egyptian Pharaoh named Rameses. They compared the evidence of his life to the biblical witness of the story of Moses. They found natural explanations for many of the things we call acts of God. They showed how a particularly wet season in a place far from Egypt would cause the Nile to become red and kill the fish, then chase the frogs from the Nile. Strange weather patterns could cause hail storms in Egypt. Then the lack of frogs meant an overpopulation of gnats and flies. The plagues on the flesh of animals and man would be a natural affect of the unhealthy water and bugs. Locusts and darkness are not unusual in desert regions. Sandstorms can block the sun for days at a time. The only one they could not explain in this manner was the plague on the firstborn, but they showed what they believed to be proof that Rameses son probably did not die in such a way. In other words, they have reduced the story of the Exodus to the coincidence of natural phenomenon and mistaken history.\nThere are many who have tried to explain away the Christmas story. Some even do so to convince Christians that they are foolish for believing in Jesus. They have to find some natural reasons for the events that surround His birth as proof that Jesus was nothing more than a man born in unusual circumstances. They are willing to accept that He had important lessons to teach us, that He was a good man that we should follow, but they are unwilling to see the miraculous in the event. If Mary was really a virgin and the star was really an unnatural astronomical event, then Jesus must be much more than they think. Since they do not believe, they want others to stop believing.\n\u201cCanst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.\u201d Job 11:7-9 (ASV)\nI enjoy listening to the theories the experts find to explain the natural possibilities of the stories we find in the Bible. The show about Rameses was quite interesting, seeing how the forensic scientists and other researchers have come to their ideas, but it won\u2019t affect my faith. Yes, the definition of the Greek word used for virgin in the Bible might mean \u201cyoung woman\u201d but that does not mean that Mary was not a virgin when the Holy Spirit came upon her. Yes, the star in the story could have been a conjunction of two planets, but that does not mean that God did not create a supernatural star to guide the magi.\nWe live by faith. This does not mean that we can\u2019t think about the stories we read in the Bible and consider the possibilities of who these things might have happened. However, we live in faith despite what the world says about our stories. Even when it appears the world can explain away the miraculous, we know that God is far greater than anything we can imagine. He can use the natural to make miracles and we only see a small fraction of what God can do in this world. When the world tries to convince us that we are wrong about believing in Jesus, we can only walk in faith knowing that God is greater than His creation. Thanks be to God.\nMakeover I like to watch the show \u201cExtreme Makeover: Home Edition.\u201d In this show, carpenter Ty Pennington remodels the house of some deserving family. He does not just go in and do a room or two. He often knocks down the entire structure to enlarge it and change the configuration to make it more suitable for the family situation. Then the crew, which includes designers and professionals of every type, makes the new house a real home with new everything. The family gets rooms that fit their personalities, new appliances and electronics and landscaping that provides a beautiful environment in which the family can really live. They often get swimming pools or hot tubs. Sometimes they even get new cars. Occasionally they even pay off the entire mortgage of the house so that the family has no future housing worries. They do this entire job in less than a week.\nI watch that show and think about how cool it would be for Ty to come by my house and do that for me. I wouldn\u2019t even need the destruction phase of the project since our house is brand new, but I\u2019d love to have someone come decorate my house and give me a wonderland of a backyard where we can play and swim. Of course, I realize that this show is not meant for a family like mine. After all, we are rich in every way \u2013 we have more than we need, good health and secure jobs. The families chosen for this show are in some sort of need. One family had a sick young man and a house full of dangerous mold. Another family had a young girl allergic to the sun \u2013 the makeover gave them everything they needed to give that child a relatively normal life. A family of orphans who could barely make ends meet were given a home where they could live and stay together, without the help the younger children may have been sent to foster homes. A woman who runs a ministry helping disabled people become independent was given a new home as well as an office in which to do her work. These people deserved the makeovers. Not all were poor, but they were all in need.\n\u201cAnd Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid: For behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is unto generations and generations on them that fear him. He hath showed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their heart. He hath put down princes from their thrones, and hath exalted them of low degree. The hungry he hath filled with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath given help to Israel his servant, that he might remember mercy (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever.\u201d Luke 1: 49-55 (ASV)\nI don\u2019t need Ty to come to my house even though I really would like him to do so. I don\u2019t have the type of need that he meets with his team each Sunday evening. He does life-changing work, work that will make a real difference to the health and welfare of the families he chooses. A remodel done on our home would be for pleasure and would have no life changing affects on our lives.\nWhen you read the scriptures, it is obvious that Jesus came for the poor, the sick and the humble \u2013 those who need a Savior to change their lives. He did not leave out the rich and healthy, but only those who had a real need found refuge in the words and actions of Jesus. There are people in this world who call themselves Christian because they find something in the life of Jesus that they want to emulate. They often see Jesus as a friend, as a role model. Yet, when asked about sin and their need for a Savior, they will deny they have any such need. They do not truly understand the reason Jesus came into the world.\nMary knew. Mary knew that Jesus offered a life-changing gift, the gift of forgiveness and eternal life. If a person sees themselves as good, they have no need for forgiveness and salvation. This is why true faith comes to those with a humble heart. It comes to those who recognize their true need, the need for mercy and grace which is found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel is not an example of how we are to live in this world; it is the gift of life for those who are dying from their sin. He gives us everything we truly need. Thanks be to God.\nStatue A statue of Jesus was found in the Rio Grande River several months ago. No one knew how it got there; they did not know the proper owners. It was relatively unscathed, only a few scratches from its trip on the river. It was found on a small island in the middle of the river, witnesses first thought it was a man. When they picked it up, the police from Eagle Pass, Texas did not know what to do with it. At first they wanted to just get rid of it, but realized they needed to keep it for awhile to give the rightful owners a chance to get it. No one came to claim the statue and the police had to get it out of their evidence room \u2013 their station had become a pilgrimage site for many people who thought this finding was a miracle. They gave it to the local Catholic Diocese which is going to share it among its parishes. It has become a symbol of hope for the displaced and immigrant.\nThe police did not just want to give it away because they knew it must have an owner. They searched the region, put out news bulletins and contacted many churches in the hopes that they would find someone who recognized the statue. They had no luck in their search, so took responsibility for it, giving it to the ones who they thought would take the best care of it.\nImagine what it must have been like for Joseph. He was preparing to marry a young girl named Mary when he discovered something disturbing. He probably paid a dowry to her family, having given them money or perhaps even carpentry work in exchange for her hand. Then he found out she was pregnant.\n\u201cNow the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us. And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife; and knew her not till she had brought forth a son: and he called his name JESUS.\u201d Matthew 1:18-25 (ASV)\nI have always read this passage and thought Joseph to be somewhat of a cad for wanting to abandon poor Mary in her state. How could he think that divorcing her quietly would be the best thing for the family? Yet, the baby that Mary was carrying was the child of another man. Joseph did not want to usurp the rights of the father by giving the child his name. He was releasing Mary, not because he did not want her but because he felt it was right to give the other man the opportunity to have Mary and the child. He wanted to do this quietly because he did not want to hurt Mary in any way. It was the most righteous option for the society of their day.\nThe angel of God cleared up the confusion and told Joseph to take Jesus as his own. By naming the child, Jesus became Joseph\u2019s legal son and responsibility. There was no other earthly father whose rights needed to be considered, for the child came through a miracle of God. Joseph quickly obeyed the word of God that came to him in that dream and he saw prophecy fulfilled in his own home as the Son of God was born to his own wife. Thanks be to God.\nLegends The Christmas season has become the foundation of a multitude of legends and myths, stories that describe the origin of many things we now use as part of our celebration. There is a legend about tinsel on a tree that tells of a tired mother who could not accomplish everything she wanted to do for her children. The Christmas tree ended up sitting on the porch for days before she could get it put up in her home and while it was there the spiders covered it with webs. By that time, the woman was so tired that she just sat down and cried at the frustration of her situation. It is said that the baby Jesus saw her pain and turned the ugly webs into beautiful silver which is how we began using tinsel on the tree.\nAnother legend tells the story of a little boy on his way to church on Christmas Eve. The people always took gifts to put at the manger, gifts that would be given to the poor. The boy had nothing to give and was quite sad that he had to go see Jesus empty-handed. His sister suggested that he should pick a flower from along the side of the road. As they walked, all he could find were ugly weeds, but he eventually picked one to take. He was embarrassed to walk into the church with his meager gift, but he did. The other people laughed as he walked forward but the baby Jesus knew the hurt in the boy\u2019s heart. So, Jesus turned the ugly weed into a beautiful red flower \u2013 the plant we know as the poinsettia.\nMany of these stories have a theme of gifts, but there is a deeper, underlying theme \u2013 our gifts are not good enough without the love of Christ and the touch of his power. These legends and myths help us to remember that we need Jesus.\n\u201cBut this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work: as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever. And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God; seeing that through the proving of you by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution unto them and unto all; while they themselves also, with supplication on your behalf, long after you by reason of the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.\u201d 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 (ASV)\nChristians know that the greatest gift given is Jesus. He has done great things for us and through us does great things for this world. Without Him, we are hopeless, peaceless, joyless and without true love because all these things come from Him. We can give the most expensive and beautiful gifts in the world and still not accomplish anything of importance. The most important thing we can do is bring glory to God, but our gifts and works done on our own will never bring Him glory. It is only through Christ that God is made known to the world.\nWe put so much time and money into this special aspect of the holiday. It is not necessarily a bad thing that we give presents because it is a reminder of what God first did for us. However, all too often we get caught up in the duty of the gift giving rather than the heart. Christmas is not about giving gifts, but recognizing the gift that has been given. When we look at our holiday celebration through the eyes of Christ, we realize nothing is good enough and that we need Him to make it right. Then, God is glorified and the world sees Him as He is \u2013 the gift giver who gives the most indescribable gift. Thanks be to God.\nCash On the show \u201cSeinfeld\u201d starring Jerry Seinfeld, Jerry and Elaine were known to have once had a relationship. For the first few seasons, however, they were just friends until one day they were both unattached and lonely. They decided to try again, but they wanted the relationship to be about more than physical relations. They did not want to lose the friendship they had built over the years. Things were going well until it was time for Elaine\u2019s birthday. Jerry had to choose her present very carefully because everything would have some deeper meaning. He could not find anything. Every gift he considered would send a signal he did not want to send.\nHe finally decided to give her cash. He put $182 in a card. Of course, she thought cash was not a good gift. She answered, \u201cWhat are you, my uncle?\u201d Jerry answered, \u201cWell come on. That's $182 right there. I don't think that's anything to sneeze at.\u201d The card he gave was no better. It called her a \u2018great pal and more,\u2019 clearly giving her the message that she was not as important to him as he was to her. He thought the \u2018and more\u2019 would make the care suitable. She did not know how hard it was for him to come to the decision, but her response shows us how much importance we have put on the gifts that we give. We are certain that everything we do for one another gives some sort of message. For kids, a big box is better than a small one. For women, small boxes are better than big ones (which usually hold some sort of kitchen appliance.) While we have taken this idea of meaning behind the gifts a little bit too far, it is not a new thing. Even the gifts taken to Jesus at the manger had meaning.\n\u201cNow when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Wise-men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him. And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written through the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel. Then Herod privily called the Wise-men, and learned of them exactly what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. And they, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.\u201d Matthew 2:1-12 (ASV)\nAs if the story of the magi was not amazing enough, the wise men even took gifts that have deep and important meaning to the life of Jesus. These foreign wise men, gentiles, from a nation far away recognized the star in the sky as a sign of the new king of Israel. They were familiar with the texts and the promises of the God of Israel. They traveled a dangerous and difficult journey to go worship this new king. The followed a star that seemed to move as they moved, guiding them to the place where they would find the child.\nOn top of this miraculous visitation, the wise men brought three gifts that foresee the work of Jesus in this world. The gold was a symbol of royalty and wealth, but even more so it was necessary for the care and protection of Jesus. The escape to Egypt would cost a great deal of money. The frankincense was a sign of Jesus\u2019 ministry, a foreshadowing of his role as High Priest when He would present the perfect lamb \u2013 Himself \u2013 to atone for the sins of the world. Myrrh was an expensive ointment that was used only for the anointing of the dead. By giving this gift to Mary and Joseph, they pointed to the day when it would be used for Jesus\u2019 own flesh \u2013 not the most appropriate gift to give to a new mother. However, it also indicated the importance of Jesus\u2019 death in the purpose of His life.\nWhile we should not put too much pressure on our family and friends this Christmas by looking for some deeper meaning in every present under the tree, we should realize that many gifts do have a meaning. Jesus Christ, the gift of God whom we celebrate at this time of year, was much more than just a man given to serve as a role model or example of a godly life. He was the Savior. The wise men, strangers from a strange land, saw Him worthy of worship. Their gifts prophesied His grace in life and in death. Knowing this helps us to look beyond the glitter and wrappings of Christmas to the cross which is where the manger always leads us. Thanks be to God.\nParty I held a part time job as a mobile disc jockey for three years. I worked for a large company that did parties of every sort. Each contractor was given a set of equipment to use, a standard collection of records and a number of prizes that could be given our during a party. If the customer asked for special equipment, such as extra speakers or spot lights, we were given these items for us at that party. We were paid for the party and received bonuses for referrals. Sometimes we received overtime and tips \u2013 depending on the party.\nOur responsibility was to do a good job. We were asked to keep our own personal collections up to date with the latest music and to ensure that we had the songs our clients wanted. There were standards for certain parties that we could borrow from the company, but some music was worth keeping in a collection for the sake of convenience. The parties were assigned according to personality and experience. Since I was fairly young, I usually did school dances and weddings, and during the December I got to do a few office and church holiday parties.\nEach party had a unique personality, depending on the expectations of the hosts and the guests. Most parties are easy to work because people are there to have a good time. Weddings were harder because the guest list reaches over generational and cultural lines. I often battled between the desires of the bride and her mother \u2013 the bride wishing for upbeat modern music, the mother wanting oldies. I have to admit that sometimes it was quite frustrating and there were times when I felt like the party failed because it was just dead. It would take some time until I figured out the right mix of music that would make everyone happy. Sometimes it took encouraging the host or some of the guests to dance. Sometimes it took games. Sometimes it took walking around to the tables to ask what people wanted to hear. The good disc jockey was the one who could put life to a party that had no life.\n\u201cThe hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of Jehovah, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. And he caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, thou knowest. Again he said unto me, Prophesy over these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I beheld, and, lo, there were sinews upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off. Therefore prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have opened your graves, and caused you to come up out of your graves, O my people. And I will put my Spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I will place you in your own land: and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it and performed it, saith Jehovah.\u201d Ezekiel 37:1-14 (ASV)\nThis story is a miraculous witness to the work God can do in this world. He gave the prophet Ezekiel the words to speak so that the dead were raised to new life. While I doubt that this will literally happen in our seeing, this is what God does every day with His Word. He doesn\u2019t go into cemeteries to raise the dead so that they will be walking on earth again. Rather, He speaks His word into our lives and brings to life those who are dead in their sin. He puts His Spirit into their hearts so that they will have faith and hope in God\u2019s promises.\nIt took something extra to put life in a dead party. It took harder work to bring people who did not wish to dance on to a dance floor. It took something special to bring out the spirit of the celebration. I\u2019ve heard it said that there are dead churches, places that seem to have no life. Perhaps this is true, there are many Christians who are like the walking dead \u2013 not really believing the message of the cross and the forgiveness of sins which Christ brought when He came into the world. Yet, if God can bring life to the valley of dry bones, then He can bring life to the deadest of congregations. We can be like Ezekiel, to speak God\u2019s word of promise into their lives and we too will see the bones rise up and dance. Thanks be to God.\nCookies I have been making Christmas cookies during my spare time over the past week. Most of the cookies are easy to make, just a quick mix, scoop and bake and I have tasty treats. I like to mix all my refrigerator doughs at the same time, and then I can just pop them into the oven whenever I have a few minutes. There are several types, however, that need more attention. Yesterday I worked at making my final batch, the most physically and time demanding cookie I make.\nPolish cookies are made with a dough that is rolled into very thin strips, deep fried and then covered with powdered sugar. The first time I made these cookies on my own several years ago, I rolled them very thin, fried them and realized that I had not rolled them thin enough. The dough needs to be paper thin, so thin that you can almost see through it. Then the cookies just melt in your mouth. It took hours to make these cookies yesterday even with Vicki\u2019s help and I woke up sore this morning after all that rolling. It is amazing the muscles you use for a task like this that don\u2019t normally get used. I would not ache so much today if I used those muscles more often. The more we work and stretch our muscles, the better it is when we do take on a physically demanding task.\nThe same is true of our faith. We need to work our faith to stretch it and build it we will be prepared when we face some test. All too often we let our relationship with God go, putting the world and everything in our life in front of our time spent with God. We forget to read the scriptures, we barely say our prayers. We get so caught up in our lives that we set faith aside for a time when we will need it. However, it is more difficult to walk in faith and trust during those times of trial when we have let our faith go. This is why God gives us small trials throughout our life so that we will be prepared when we need it most.\n\u201cO Jehovah, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising; Thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou searchest out my path and my lying down, And art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, But, lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, And laid thy hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, And thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, And the light about me shall be night; Even the darkness hideth not from thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee. For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: When I awake, I am still with thee. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men. For they speak against thee wickedly, And thine enemies take thy name in vain. Do not I hate them, O Jehovah, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: They are become mine enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.\u201d Psalm 139 (ASV)\nGod does not tempt us, but He does help us to build our faith through trials as we journey through this life. These tests of faith are not meant to catch us unfaithful so that we will be punished, but rather they are designed to help stretch our faith muscles so that they will be prepared for those greater difficulties we will face in our life. We tend to react to such tests with a \u201cWhy me?\u201d attitude, but we should accept this discipline trusting that it is by God\u2019s grace we will grow and be ready for the true tests of our faith.\nGod knows each of us intimately. He knows what we need and how far we can be stretched. He knows us better than we know ourselves. Let us walk daily in faith, thanking God for His incredible blessings, even those that do not seem so blessed while we face them. We will find, as we walk through the other side of the experience, that God has done another good work in our lives. Thanks be to God.\nHeritage Since my website includes stories of our travels from England, I often receive notes with questions about the history and architecture of the country. Internet sites and picture books do little to really tell what these places are like to those who have never been there. The questions are often strange and impossible for me to answer after such a long period of time, but I try to help as best I can. I recently received a letter asking about the size of one particular building and why it was a relatively modest building compared to other manor houses.\nThe writer assumed that the size difference was totally financial. Bigger houses must mean bigger wallets. However, there are many other reasons why one manor is grandiose and another modest. The location of the home would make a difference \u2013 one house on a trade route would need to be larger because there would be more company. A home that is in a family for many generations would be larger because wings would be added as the family grew. People of importance, with power and influence would likely have a larger home because they would host events which would reach beyond their own family. Those who have relationships with leaders and authorities would have larger homes for a variety of reasons. With clout comes privileges \u2013 less taxes, discounted materials, cheap labor are just a few possibilities.\nThe two homes the writer compared were not close enough for comparison. One manor was the home of a wealthy wool producer, the other a gift from a monarch. One belonged to a family that had recently come into money, the other an ancient family with roots deep in the power of the country. One owned the home for only a century, the other had property that went back hundreds of years. One was the home of a family, the other a place of national importance. Most of us can more likely identify with the first family. We don\u2019t know anybody of importance; we have no privilege or power. We live in a normal home with a normal life doing the work we do.\nIn some ways it is hard to identify with Jesus. The child born in the stable was there in Bethlehem because His earthly father was a son of David. His genealogy reaches to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It is the line of kings, the chosen and anointed of God. Mary, His mother, is from the Levitical line, the chosen of the chosen to lead the worship of God and guide the spiritual life of the nation. It is hard for us to imagine being part of such an important line of ancestors. Yet, the genealogy of Jesus is filled with people with which we can identify.\n\u201cThe book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judah and his brethren; and Judah begat Perez and Zerah of Tamar; and Perez begat Hezron; and Hezron begat Ram; and Ram begat Amminadab; and Amminadab begat Nahshon; and Nahshon begat Salmon; and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab; and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; and Jesse begat David the king. And David begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Uriah; and Solomon begat Rehoboam; and Rehoboam begat Abijah; and Abijah begat Asa; and Asa begat Jehoshaphat; and Jehoshaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Uzziah; and Uzziah begat Jotham; and Jotham begat Ahaz; and Ahaz begat Hezekiah; and Hezekiah begat Manasseh; and Manasseh begat Amon; and Amon begat Josiah; and Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren, at the time of the carrying away to Babylon. And after the carrying away to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel; and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; and Zerubbabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; and Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; and Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.\u201d Matthew 1:1-15 (ASV)\nThe genealogy of a Jew was quite important. They needed to establish their place in the nation of Israel. Since there was much prophecy concerning the heritage of the Messiah, it was especially important to establish the tribe from which Jesus came. He was to be the King eternal, from the House of David, a seed of Abraham, a lion from Judah. How could we ever think He was our brother? Yet, as we look at this list of names, we see that it is also made of people with whom we can identify. There are foreigners and sinners, believers and doubters, righteous and unrighteous, kings and common folk. Jesus certainly had clout. His life is built on the history of the people of Israel. Yet, He was born in a stable of a man name Joseph who is married to a young girl named Mary. No one would have thought Him to be a King about to build the most incredible kingdom. He had no money, no relationship with the powerful. Yet, He saved the world. Thanks be to God.\nBeginning One of the most popular gifts to give around a holiday is a new pet. Unfortunately, this is not the best gift to give, especially at such a hectic time of year. I watched a report today with an interview with a volunteer from the Humane Society and she had some excellent suggestions. Even if the family for whom you wish to purchase a pet really wants one, you can\u2019t know for sure if you are picking the right animal for that family. A cat or dog that seems most wonderful for you might not fit in the atmosphere of a different home. Also, the family might have too many activities to take on the responsibility immediately.\nThey recommended that you buy all the things they will need to have a pet \u2013 a carrier, food, toys, litter boxes or gift certificates for pet stores. Then the family can find and purchase the pet of their dreams without being forced to have someone else\u2019s idea of perfect. We think that the moment we give the gift is the beginning, but the reality is that it takes far more than just getting the animal to have a pet. When we picked up Tigger seven months ago, that event was just part of a long process of picking and preparing for his homecoming.\nWhen we think of Christmas, we think of it as the beginning of something. After all, when Jesus was born, He began something new in the realm of God. However, His birth was not the beginning. The Old Testament scriptures take up nearly three fourths of the Bible, pages that are filled with the prophecy and preparation for the coming of the Messiah. Jesus\u2019 birth was not a brand new thing, but was a new step in the story of God and His people. Jesus was before He was born.\n\u201cIn the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not. There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came that he might bear witness of the light. There was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.\u201d John 1:1-14 (ASV)\nChristmas is not the beginning, it is the culmination of the promises that God made to His people. Things changed when Jesus was born, made new with His life and His love and the hope we have by His grace. Just as a new pet in a household will change the lives of those who live there, so too does Jesus change the lives of those who believe in Him. But that change is not sudden, just one moment in time when someone suddenly believes. The change began two thousand years ago when Jesus was born and it has been happening as seeds are planted in the heart until they finally bloom with faith. It may seem sudden, but God works in the lives of those who do not yet believe, preparing their hearts for His Word that became flesh that day in the stable. Even now, many who have never believed are being touched by His grace. Thanks be to God.\nGifts The story \u201cThe Polar Express\u201d has been a favorite Christmas story for many years. It is especially popular this year with the movie released earlier this fall. It is a fantastic story of belief, about children who have reached the age of understanding who finally give up the hope of Santa\u2019s visit to their home. They have become disillusioned with the season because they realize the whole idea is a lie. The main character is a boy who no longer believes. He is old enough to want proof and so lies awake Christmas Eve in the hopes of hearing the bells of Santa\u2019s sleigh. Instead, he is invited on a most incredible journey and he realizes that seeing is not believing \u2013 even when Santa is standing before him, he can\u2019t hear the bells until he believes.\nOne of the other characters is a boy who has never known Christmas at his house. He is poor, lives on the wrong side of the tracks. His home is not covered in lights and he has no tree bearing ornaments and tinsel. He has nothing but disappointment because there is no one to bring Christmas surprises. It is not always poverty that makes for disappointments. Sometimes it is a lack of caring or an inability to find that perfect gift. Christmas for many people is not a day of joy, but of sadness.\nIt might seem odd to talk about sadness on Christmas Eve. It is supposed to be a time of joy. There are many reasons why we might be disappointed on Christmas Day. When we are far from our families and friends, we feel a certain sense of loneliness at the holidays. When the dinner does not go quite right or when there is a big mess to clean up, we wonder why we go to all the trouble. It takes twenty minutes to unwrap the gifts that took four months to prepare, and then it is all over. There are many reasons why we aren\u2019t all laughter and joy on Christmas day. We have to remember, however, that the first Christmas was not a day of happiness, but of pain, uncertainty and questions. Mary had a baby, and anyone who has experienced it will know that it is painful and frightening. Joseph must have been disappointed about having to force Mary into giving birth in a stable. The shepherds were frightened by the angels and then they were sent from their fields to find a baby lying in a manger. What makes this Christmas story so special is that those involved responded to the disappointment, fear and frustration with willingness and faith.\n\u201cNow it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to enrol themselves, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; to enrol himself with Mary, who was betrothed to him, being great with child. And it came to pass, while they were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign unto you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men in whom he is well pleased. And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. And when they saw it, they made known concerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child. And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.\u201d Luke 2:1-20 (ASV)\nThe boy in the story was chosen to be the first child to receive a gift on Christmas from Santa. Rather than the perfect gift or the most popular toy, the boy wanted to have one of the jingle bells from Santa\u2019s sleigh. That bell was proof that Santa was real. He lost the bell, but realized that he did not need proof or the perfect gift. All he needed was faith. In the end Santa found the bell and put it under his tree, so he had faith and the gift.\nThere is joy in the Christmas story for those of us who live now, after the resurrection. We see the purpose of it all, we know the whole story. For those first people \u2013 Mary, Joseph and the shepherds \u2013 Christmas was a special day but it was not perfect. Mary\u2019s firstborn lie in a feeding trough. Joseph had to find a way to keep his wife and child warm. The shepherds left their flocks on the hillside in search of a mysterious child. Yet, they all walked in faith, knowing that God was in control. Mary pondered all these things in her heart and the shepherds went forth praising God. No matter what happens this Christmas in our homes, I pray that we too will respond to the story of the birth in faith. May you be greatly blessed this Christmas and that you will know the joy of walking in faith even when things don't seem so perfect. Thanks be to God.\nPool Have you ever read a mystery thinking that you knew the answer until the very last page? When you get to the real solution to the mystery, it seems so obvious and you kick yourself for missing it a hundred pages before. When this happens, the author has done a great job weaving the story, leading you in the wrong direction or giving you just enough information so that you will make the incorrect assumptions without digging more deeply into the story.\nIt is likely there was good reason to choose your answer. The character you decide is the villain probably did have some role to play in the crime. He or she may have purchased the weapon or been in the right place at the wrong time. There is most likely motive for the crime and you are not the only one to make that assumption. If you read the story a second time, however, you would see the true villain more clearly from the beginning, recognizing the character, actions and motives that make him or her clearly the real answer to the question.\nThis is not an entirely accurate analogy to use for today\u2019s devotion because we are talking about the difference between goodness and evil, reality and a story. However, I wonder how many of us have experienced something similar when reading and studying the scriptures. Have you ever had one of those \u2018aha\u2019 moments when something that was once a mystery in the Bible is suddenly quite clear? There are many stories in the scriptures that make sense, but there is more to the story that we discover as we delve more deeply into the text and into the history.\n\u201cAnd as he passed by, he saw a man blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he should be born blind? Jesus answered, Neither did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. We must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. When I am in the world, I am the light of the world. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed his eyes with the clay, and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent). He went away therefore, and washed, and came seeing.\u201d John 9:1-7 (ASV)\nArcheologists have recently discovered the Pool of Siloam, that pool where Jesus sent the blind man to be healed. Now, this story has had a great deal of meaning to me, it speaks of healing and forgiveness, of how Jesus can overcome even that which has been part of us from birth. Yet, when we discover that the Pool of Siloam is a special place, we realize that there was even more to this story than we first thought.\nThe Pool is located very close to the Temple, it is even connected to the grounds by a road that run between the two. The Pool of Siloam was a place for ritual cleansing, used for making the priests clean for their duty serving God. The waters were so pure that it was said they could even heal a leper, yet can you imagine the priests allowing a leper into the water? The way they looked at illness and disease, they may have thought that someone like the blind man might make their water unclean.\nJesus did not need to send the man to the Pool. He could have grabbed water from someone nearby and splashed his face. It was not the water that healed the man, but rather the word of God. However, this man needed far more than physical healing. He needed spiritual cleansing. He\u2019d been blind from birth, convinced by the world that he was a sinner unworthy of anything spiritual. He would have been healed, but uncomfortable with entering into the lives of the faithful because nothing was changed. He was no longer blind, but how could that overcome a lifetime of rejection by the religious structure? He needed more than just physical healing. He needed cleansing that would purify him before God and make him right with his Creator. It was not necessary for this cleansing to take place before God, but it was for the man. Without such spiritual healing as came from entering into the life of the faithful community, he would never have felt right before God. Jesus knew and He made sure the man was made whole by sending him to that pool on that day. He does the same for us, giving us everything we need so that we are not only right before God but also that we feel right. Thanks be to God.\nChildren The earthquake and tsunami that has devastated so much of the coastline along the Indian Ocean has consumed our attention and prayers. Thousands of people have died and many more have lost everything. It will take days to finish the rescue work, find the bodies and bury those who have died. The newest hazard is the disease that goes along with the poisoned water and the rotting flesh. More will die until everything is cleaned up from this horrible disaster.\nThe physical rebuilding will take years and billions of dollars. The emotional impact may last even longer, particularly for those who have lost everything. The saddest stories are those of the children who have suffered. It is expected that about one third of the dead are children. There is even more who have lost their families. Hospitals and governments are putting out pictures of children that have been found along roadsides in the hopes that someone will recognize them and contact the officials with information. Without knowing if the parents are even alive, it is nearly impossible to identify the youngest children.\nThe young suffer the most because they do not have the means to solve their problems. They don\u2019t have the means to seek help. They don\u2019t have the information they would need to ask questions. Some are small enough that they can\u2019t communicate with rescuers or hospital workers. They are and do not know how to deal with strangers. Though there are many people who care for these children, the ones they love most have abandoned them. They are left alone in a big, scary world.\nThere is no one to blame for this natural disaster, everyone is suffering greatly from the devastation. However, the children are innocent victims who will suffer the greatest loss. But that is the way it is in many situations. Children tend to blame themselves when something goes wrong. When there is violence or anger, they can\u2019t stand up for themselves. When there is separation, they are left alone or lonely for what was once a family. They are easy victims because they have so little control and so much innocence to the ways of the world.\n\u201cThen Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the Wise-men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly learned of the Wise-men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children; And she would not be comforted, because they are not.\u201d Matthew 2:16-18 (ASV)\nToday is the day we remember the Holy Innocents, those children in Bethlehem that got caught between the Lord God Almighty and the political aspirations of one man named Herod. He did not want to be put out by another king, particularly one that has been promised by God. He sent soldiers to dispose of all the children in Bethlehem to ensure his place in the palace.\nWe imagine this to be a horrid event with blood running down the streets as thousands of children are slaughtered. The reality is that it was more likely just a dozen children, yet that does not make it any less horrid. One life taken for no good reason is one life too many. One child suffering for whatever reason is one child too many. We remember these children today and still grieve with those who lost children to one man\u2019s ambition. In light of this remembrance, let us also remember and pray for those children who are suffering this day in the devastation of the tsunamis and the ones who have lost children in the disaster.\nSoap One of the hardest things to get used to when we installed a water softener in our house was the fact that we did not need to use as much soap. We were so used to using great quantities to ensure that our clothes, dishes and bodies get clean. However, it takes far less soap in soft water to make suds and thus the soap works better. With our softener we were given a supply of products that were specially designed to be used with our water. It has been nearly a year and we still have plenty of soap. Our salesman stopped by a few months after the installation to find out how we like the equipment. He mentioned that a family down the street had already used up their soap \u2013 a year supply in a few months. Obviously they never figured out that they do not need to use less.\nThe thing is, when you use too much soap it takes even more water to clean out the suds. If you run clear, clean water in a sudsy glass, it will eventually get out all the soap but it takes awhile. The clean water goes to the bottom and pushes the dirty and soapy water over the top. There has to be somewhere for the dirty water to go, adding clean water to dirty will not make it clean. We have to find some way to remove the dirty and sudsy water.\n\u201cAnd he brought me back unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward; (for the forefront of the house was toward the east;) and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south of the altar. Then he brought me out by the way of the gate northward, and led me round by the way without unto the outer gate, by the way of the gate that looketh toward the east; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side. When the man went forth eastward with the line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the ankles. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and caused me to pass through the waters, waters that were to the loins. Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass through; for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the bank of the river. Now when I had returned, behold, upon the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Then said he unto me, These waters issue forth toward the eastern region, and shall go down into the Arabah; and they shall go toward the sea; into the sea shall the waters go which were made to issue forth; and the waters shall be healed. And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither, and the waters of the sea shall be healed, and everything shall live whithersoever the river cometh. And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt. And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not whither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing.\u201d Ezekiel 47:1-12 (ASV)\nThis is an amazing vision of the new earth that God has promised. The River of Life that flows from the Temple will be made of such pure and clean water that it will bring healing and life to the land. Notice that the river grows as it goes away from the Temple even though it is not joined by any tributaries. Also, the waters pour into the Dead Sea, the saltiest body of water in the world and yet the fresh water from God\u2019s river makes it a place filled with life. The trees along the river bear fruit always and do not die, another effect of the life giving and healing water of life.\nThis just goes to show that the ways of the world are much different than the ways of God. While it takes us time and resources to make the dirt go away, it takes only God\u2019s power to change filthy to clean. Our works might accomplish the task eventually, but we could never make the Dead Sea clean by our own power. Neither can we make our lives clean without the grace and power of God. Thanks be to God.\nJokes In comedy they say that timing is everything. Some jokes that are funny will fail miserably if they are spoken at the wrong time in the wrong place. A joke about a peanut butter sandwich won\u2019t be funny to someone who is starving. A joke about a priest, rabbi and imam would probably cause hard feelings in an ecumenical conference and a joke about military incompetence would not go over well in a theater full of soldiers. It is funny to watch the television comedians try out their material on an audience. Jay Leno often makes a big joke of the way his monologue is failing. He talks about the silent audience, turns to the writers and comments on how one joke failed or how it might have been better a different way.\nThe same is true of other words. There is a right time and a right way to evangelize. There are appropriate times to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and appropriate ways. We want to share the grace of God with everyone, particularly when we are feeling extraordinarily thankful for our salvation. It often happens in the beginning of our faith or at times when our faith has grown or changed. We know the promise of God and we want others to have it. Unfortunately, at those times of passion we aren\u2019t thinking very clearly about the people to whom we are speaking. A grieving daughter at the funeral of her mother does not need to hear how she should change or she will be going to hell. She needs to hear how God\u2019s grace brings peace and joy even in the midst of tragedy.\nHave you ever wondered why Jesus came when He did? It seems like such a strange time, two thousand years ago. There is nothing particularly special about that time period. Why not wait until the modern age when the life and death of Jesus would have had a more immediate worldwide impact? How about a thousand years before that, so that more people could benefit from the New Covenant? Why did He come at that time in that way in that place?\n\u201cBeing therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness; and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope: and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us. For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die. But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him. For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life; and not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.\u201d Romans 5:1-11 (ASV)\nJay Leno is one of the most professional comedians in our world today. Yet, despite his excellence and fine writers, he often fails at making the audience laugh. His timing is not perfect. He does not know everything about his audience, he can\u2019t foresee what\u2019s in their minds or hearts. We do not always know the right time, way or place to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those who need to know God\u2019s grace. We fail. We say things that hurt people. We pick the wrong moment and miss the right moments. Timing in comedy and in evangelism is everything and we often fail.\nGod did not fail, however. He knew the right time and the right way to overcome the sin of this world. He sent Jesus exactly when we needed Him to come, to do exactly what needed to be done. We do not understand why. We do not understand why the right time was two thousand years ago, it does not make sense to us. We can\u2019t quite grasp the need for the cross or for Christ\u2019s blood to cleanse us from our sins. We might have the right words, we might be able to explain it theologically, yet there is something about all this that we do not quite understand. Yet, God knew this was the right time and the right way and because God was right, we now rejoice in His grace and the reconciliation we have through Christ Jesus. Thanks be to God.\nBest and Worst We have reached the end of another year. It is hard to believe that another 365 days have passed. The news programs have been looking over the past year with the best and the worst in every possible category. People have been able to vote on the Internet for the best commercial or the best news story. The categories are not always positive. One survey asked which scandal would be most remembered in the years to come. Other surveys ask for the worst people, events, books, movies or movies. On this New Year\u2019s Eve, we are taking a moment to remember what has happened and think about what we can learn about it to help us into the future.\nThe other thing we are doing today is thinking about the changes we want to make in our lives. We all made mistakes in the past, we all have things that we could do better. I don\u2019t usually make lists of resolutions, because I know that change can and should happen at any time. I also know that resolutions made on New Year\u2019s Eve generally fail within the first month. However, I have decided to try harder at a few things in the coming year. I will be better at remembering birthdays and anniversaries. I will better at keeping track of my mail, email and appointments. I will be more active in asking my children about their schedules so that we aren\u2019t remembering to do something at the last minute as we were last year.\nAll these activities have to do with having and keeping up with a calendar. My son bought me a new spiral bound calendar for Christmas. It is a pretty one with pictures of artwork done by the Impressionists. A new calendar is so nice and clean, it is like a new beginning. So far there is nothing marking the pages. There is nothing from the past; it is all in the future almost like beginning a new life. Now, we certainly don\u2019t have a new life from one year to the next. I will be the same person tomorrow that I am today. I might manage a few changes eventually, but I will continue to be me. My new calendar will not make me any different, even if I manage to keep it up to date this year. There is something that does make us new, someone who gives us new life.\n\u201cMy little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. Beloved, no new commandment write I unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning: the old commandment is the word which ye heard. Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth. He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in the darkness, and walketh in the darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because the darkness hath blinded his eyes. I write unto you, my little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the evil one. I have written unto you, little children, because ye know the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye know him who is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the evil one.\u201d 1 John 2:1-14 (ASV)\nIt is good to look back over the past year so that we can learn from our mistakes. It is good to recognize the things about ourselves, as individuals and a community, that should be changed so that we will be the best we can be in the coming year. We think about best of the past year so that we can model the good things they have done. We think about the worst of the past year so that we can avoid their pitfalls. No matter how much we try to change, we have to remember that moving from one year to another does not make us a new person. A clean calendar does not indicate a new life. There is no magical power passing through midnight on New Years Eve that makes us different. It takes work to make our resolutions happen in our lives. But real change happens through faith. Jesus Christ gives us a new life. He gives us new hope and new joy through His new covenant. The world around us is not new, but in Christ we are different because we are forgiven and have overcome the past. Thanks be to God.",

It promotes a model of development that fit, adapts and becomes a symbiosis of technology more advanced and ecology. At the time that allows market run by itself and is accessible in the most necessary for all persons. We have the economic foundations of sustainable developments. Western Union is a great source of information. Sustainable development Treaty for a Constitution for Europe in I-3, 3 article which refers to the definition and objectives of the European Union establishes that it will act in favour of sustainable development based on a social market economy. It aims to make compatible social progress with the quality of the environment, competitiveness and stability of prices.\nIts preamble states that it intends to move forward on the path of progress and prosperity for the sake of its inhabitants, without forgetting the weak and disadvantaged. To achieve these goals are established a series of provisions which may be in rhetoric if not put some economic fundamentals that will make possible this framework of good intentions. During 1997 the Kyoto Protocol on emissions of CO2, was drafted in order to propose measures that reduce these emissions, with dangerous effects before a foreseeable climate change. In the Hague, in November 2000, the Summit climate, warning of the seriousness of the problem. It was noted the lack of a global point of view, before the priority of national and economic interests. The consensus of 180 countries for the reduction of carbon emissions, 8% for the European Union, between the years 2008 and 2012 was reached at the meeting of Morocco (November 2001).\nBut in the same solution vitiate the results. For example allows the purchase of pollutants emission rights in exchange for external debt. In this way remain dimensions of pollution in developed countries and you are deprived of the possibility of progress to Nations with limited resources.\n\u00ab Canadians OSIS Identity \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Where I got it: Kindle\nCover Rating: 2 stars (meh.)\nGenre: Young Adult / New Adult\nIsis has sworn off love. She lost a ton of weight, dyed her hair and moved to a new town to start a new life with her mother. Enter Jack Hunter. He's the guy all the girls love but Isis loves to hate. She doesn't like anything about his smug face and wants to take him down a peg or two. Unfortunately he proves to be a worthy opponent and Isis finds herself stepping up her game.\nThis was a fascinating read. It wasn't that the writing was to die for (it wasn't bad) and it wasn't that I was in love with the characters, I was just intrigued. I didn't want to stop reading. It was so engrossing I just wanted more!\nBoth Isis and Jack seemed to make Sherlock like observances. They would look at the pet hair on someone's sleeve and deduce wildly. It seemed a bit intense for these two, but I guess they were smart.\nThe other thing I was confused about was the scene were Isis leaves a restaurant and Jack also leaves the restaurant and Isis throws up. She throws up quite a bit. Now, a couple things bothered me with this part. First, Jack takes her into his car while she's throwing up, whereas I would allow them to remain outside until they were quit done vomiting. He also doesn't ask why she's throwing up (not crazy odd, but still). Then, Jack takes them out to eat (now I understand Isis might be hungry from her expelling her lunch, but Jack just ate). So they go out to a sushi place and I don't think sushi settles your stomach. Also, it's Ohio. I don't live in Ohio, but Isis describes it as the middle of nowhere and I just doesn't see Sushi being a high schoolers meal of choice in the middle of nowhere. I could possibly see it in a city setting, but it just seemed a bit unrealistic to me. Correct me if I'm wrong.\nBeyond those small complaints I found the book enjoyable. A bit unbelievable at times with some of the character's actions, but enjoyable. I like the dialogue between the characters, especially Jack and Isis. It was very real.\nIf you're looking for an intriguing and somewhat quick read I would recommend checking this one out. The ending will probably have you dying for the second book, it's quite a shocker.\n\"When I was six, Dad told me something really true; everyone has a to-do list.\"\n\"It was sacrifice helplessly, like a ritual priestess on the altar of callous assholery.\"\nLabels: 3 Stars, New Adult",

        "title": "ARTSPACE - Jeena Shin, Artspace Stairwell Project (1973-) 2009-2011",
        "raw_content": "Jeena Shin, Artspace Stairwell Project (1973-) 2009-2011\nOn arriving as Director in late 2008 as Director, Emma Bugden commissioned Auckland artist Jeena Shin to undertake a project that would unfurl over three years, or the duration of Bugden\u2019s directorship. Shin\u2019s project was to occupy and transform the Artspace stairwell, a functional space designed for movement, yet at the same time a highly sculptural and spatial environment.\nThe brief to Shin was open ended\u2014allowing for possibilities rather than certainties, and providing her with a test space in which she could return again and again to rework, as one might utlise a studio or workshop. The artist could work as frequently or infrequently as she wished, and the end point of the work was to be determined by Shin as the project progressed.\nJeena Shin\u2019s long-term engagement with the Stairwell generated an in-depth response to site that included an acknowledgement of the space\u2019s architectural history, which dates back to the 1970\u2019s, and the building\u2019s origins as the Newton Post Office. As such the project has been both revelatory; seeking as it does to lay bare some of the original architectural attributes, and accumulative as Shin works over a sustained period of time building up her trademark geometric planes in fresh, site-specific configurations.\nTitled Artspace Stairwell Project (1973-) 2009-2011, the work in progress (and process) was conceived as a way of drawing attention to what is essentially a transitional space between the outside world beyond the stairwell (and that peeks in through the windows) and the gallery above.\nThis notion of inside and outside, fold and unfold is indelibly marked within Shin\u2019s abstraction, where an exploration of the ambiguities of spatial properties by way of finely nuanced colour gradations, geometric symmetry/asymmetry and layering is played out. It is by unsettling or toying with our perceptions of these traditionally conceived binary states that Shin\u2019s Stairwell Project hints towards the permeability of space and the structures within it. Shin utilises not only the existing and altered structures but the natural properties of light spilling in through the windows to lend additional resonance, making each visit an experience of subtle perceptual change.\nIn March 2011 the third and final phase of the project is to be unveiled. This component sees Shin work with a wall hitherto untouched by the artist\u2019s project, completing the activation of the space.\nJeena Shin was born in Korea in 1973, and graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts from RMIT, Melbourne, in 2001, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Auckland in 1997. Her work has been included in such group exhibitions as Prospect 2007: New Art New Zealand, City Gallery Wellington, SNO23, Sydney Non Objective, Sydney and Respirator, Conical Gallery, Melbourne. She has upcoming solo exhibition projects at CCNOA in Brussels. Jeena Shin is represented by Two Rooms Gallery, Auckland.\nSee available prints by this artist \u25ba\nAlt.music\nCampbell Patterson - Melbourne Art Fair 2010\nSeung Yul Oh - Melbourne Art Fair 2010\nSUPERFLEX, One Day Sculpture\nRirkrit Tiravanija, One Day Sculpture\nTween Poster Series by Kelvin Soh",

        "raw_content": "Jean, Lita, and I left Blowing Rock, NC on Friday, October, 9th. It was a crisp & clear morning. The Jeep was running well and all were in good spirits. While heading south we contacted my sister Bunny and her husband Jim to suggest that we make a detour from the direct route to Cary to spend a night with them at their home in Charlotte. Fortunately, they were available and so we continued south, skirting Charlotte proper by dipping down into South Carolina before proceeding east to their home on the south side of Charlotte. We were all excited by the opportunity to introduce Lita to Baxter, their 10 year old Bichon Frise. The two dogs got along well, for the most part ignoring each other in favor of their respective owners. We went out for an excellent Italian dinner before settling in for some catching-up.\nBunny & Jim were married in 1965; the same year as Jean and I. While Jean and I moved to Ohio and then Michigan, they resided in New York, then Florida, and then for the past 20 years in Charlotte. Busily raising families, she and I saw little of each other for the first 30 years of our marriages. After that, my regular trips to the Polymers Center of Excellence in Charlotte provided me a convenient opportunity to spend an occasional evening with Jim and my sister. It was a refreshing opportunity to make up for missed years.\nThe morning of Saturday, October 10th Jean and I bade Bunny and Jim goodbye and headed for our home in Cary, NC; selecting an eastern then northern route to avoid Charlotte and possible race day traffic at the Speedway. It rained the entire trip, but this was of little concern to us as we took our time on the lightly traveled back roads. We were happy to be able to get Lita to her permanent home. She had behaved so well for the 5-day journey from Central Florida to Cary, NC. It was nice to reward her with a stable home life. As I mentioned previously, Lita was born in Columbia, South America, and had previously endured a 13 hour journey by plane to reach the United States. Fortunately, Lita showed no ill effects from all the moving around \u2013 on the contrary, it appears to have made her very adaptable and appreciative of affection.\nAnyway, we were happy to be back in our familiar home after our 20 day, 2,800 mile adventure. We are most appreciative of all the acquaintances and helpful people that we met along the Trek to the Florida Keys. As with the previous treks, the fun was as much in the journey and the people as it was in reaching our destinations. Good memories.\nThank you all for following us on our trip and for you kind words of encouragement.",

Art in the Age of Truthiness.\nMore Real? Art in the Age of Truthiness presents work by some of today's most accomplished and promising international artists who are examining our shifting experience of reality. Over the past century, during a period of unprecedented technological change and global social upheaval, once-established beliefs, or \"truths,\" have been cast into doubt, changing and shaping our understanding and experience of reality. Through diverse media and in unexpected ways, this exhibition explores the impact and role of deception, play, memory, power, simulation, and new technologies on art and everyday life.\u2028The exhibition proposes that we now live in an \"Age of Truthiness,\" a time when our understanding of the truth is no longer bound to anything tangible, provable, or factual.\u2028In 2005, Stephen Colbert, comedian and host of the popular satirical news program, \"The Colbert Report,\" coined the word \"truthiness\" and brought it to the forefront of the English lexicon. Defined by the American Dialect Society as \"the quality of preferring concepts or facts one wishes to be true, rather than concepts or facts known to be true,\" the notion of \"truthiness\" quickly caught hold and it became Merriam-Webster's word of the year in 2006. By presenting art that reveals, confronts, and questions the nature of reality in an age when the relationships between truth and fiction have never been less definitive, More Real? explores our constantly changing shared sense of what is real.\nhttp://www.sitesantafe.org/\nGreg Lynn designs for Atelier Swarovski Collection in The New York Times\nSeeing Things | Greg Lynn for Atelier Swarovski\nBy Brooke Hodge\nThe New York Times, Magazine, May 24, 2012\nhttp://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/24/seeing-things-greg-lynn-for-atelier-swarovski/?ref=t-magazine",

        "raw_content": "This week\u2019s parsha is Nasso: Numbers 4:21-7:89, Judges 13:2-25, Acts 21:17-26\nNasso is Hebrew for \"lift up\". G-d continues teaching Israel about relationships with each other and with Him, a form of lifting up.\nI am grateful that G-d has provided clear, simple steps for making amends to those I have harmed. Over and over, both in the Tanakh and Brit Chadashah, we see this pattern: Sin, repentance, restitution, forgiveness and restored relationships. And the steps must always be in this order to end in a truly restored relationship.\nIn Numbers, the steps include admitting the wrong(s) I have done, repentance, and providing restitution to the injured party, a form of sacrifice, as well as a Temple sacrifice to G-d, also an injured party.\nWithout following this pattern to deal with the consequences of sin, which include compulsive behaviors, none of us can have the quality of live and relationships G-d intends for each of us.\nThe passages in Numbers 6:11-31 are designed to protect marital faithfulness and are some of G-d\u2019s commands that I wish He had handled differently. To my modern eyes it looks like it enables a warped and vindictive husband to torment a faithful wife. And just as bad, these regulations do not apply to the husband who, the Bible often shows, is the one more likely to be unfaithful.\nBut I\u2019m not G-d and do not get to exclude from the Cannon, like some do, those versus that I do not like. The passages here stress the seriousness of adultery and underscores the covenant relationship we have both with Him and with a spouse.\nThe principle of personal accountability is always necessary for me, or anyone, that seeks to live a covenant life pleasing to G-d. Self-discipline and self-examination both play key roles in my relationship with G-d and those around me, especially as I continue to deal with my hurts, habits and hang ups. The Nazirite Vow would be impossible to keep without self-discipline and self-examination.\nNumbers 6:24-26 speaks the Blessing that Greg so faithfully provides on all of us each Shabbat. The Hebrew word for \u201cpeace\u201d means much more than an absence of conflict. It implies a complete sense of well-being, health, and contentment. G-d offers this to anyone who is willing to follow Him and especially to those whose lives have been bruised and broken.\nSo when I\u2019m in the middle of crud falling on my head, while I continue to pursue the path I believe He has set before me, my goal is to be content and peaceful with whatever result G-d provides as I walk His path. Far easier to say here than to do, but an important \u201cFirst Principle\u201d in my life.\nNumbers 7 shows that the way I use my possessions is an important part of my accountability to G-d and my faith community. G-d\u2019s ministry depends on personal and family gifts in order to meet the needs around us. We see that gifts can be physical or time, but the nature and amount are to be voluntary and from the heart with an attitude of generosity and, as needed, sacrifice.\nAs you are able, I hope you\u2019ll give both me and the Temple the gift of prayer, both during your day, and at the Temple at the 9:00 am Shabbat prayer session.\nBlessings on you and yours.",

        "title": "Administrators: How To Model Digital Leadership - Edwords Blog - BAM! Radio Network",
        "raw_content": "Administrators: How To Model Digital Leadership\nPosted by David Cutler @spinedu on Wednesday, 09 December 2015 in Education Technology\nThe more I write and speak about education, the wider the disconnect I see between our ever-changing world and our unchanging schools and administrators. Outliers exist among those schools and leaders, but by and large, the one-size-fits-all American education system hasn\u2019t changed much in over 100 years\u2014and from my vantage point, too few administrators effectively model change-making leadership to help spur a much-needed revolution in education.\nFor a more authoritative perspective, I recently read Eric Sheninger\u2019s courageous book, Digital Leadership: Changing Paradigms for Changing Times. \u201cWe can no longer afford to sustain a school structure built for a time long past,\u201d writes the internationally recognized, award-winning principal, whose leadership transformed the teaching culture at New Jersey\u2019s New Milford High School. \u201cWhat will it take for the light bulb to finally go on and the long, difficult process of change to begin?\u201d\nMy thinking on that question is deeply influenced and informed by my recent talk with Sheninger:\nToo often, I hear about administrators asking teachers to use technology without proper instruction or implementation. All the while, many of those administrators have little or no clue about the same technology\u2014even as they advertise its classroom use to parents, board members, and prospective students.\n\u201cThose often tasked with leading change in a digital age are the least knowledgeable about the digital age,\u201d Sheninger says. \u201cThere is nothing more discouraging than having leaders that put you in a position where they\u2019re barking orders at you, and they\u2019re not modeling the same expectations that they ask of you.\u201d\nLeadership is about action, not position. An effective administrator leads by example, and she isn\u2019t afraid of failing or making missteps in front of others. Sheninger says, \u201cI never ask my teachers to do something that I\u2019m not at least willing to try myself.\u201d This includes trying to use and understand new and evolving technologies, and an administrator who lacks such interest not only has no business supporting or evaluating teachers, but should also consider another career.\nToo few administrators are active on Twitter, or even know what the platform is or does. Still, administrators demand creativity from teachers, even as many higher-ups refuse to tap into social media, or do not know how to do so.\n\u201cIf I had not become connected, I probably would have still been on that hamster wheel, doing the same old thing, maintaining the status quo,\u201d Sheninger tells me. \u201cNo longer do we have to feel that we live on these isolated islands or that schools are silos of information. Social media and the ability that social media provides us to connect and engage in powerful conversations really provide the foundation for what I consider the ability to change and grow professionally in unprecedented ways.\u201d\nI couldn\u2019t agree more. Several years ago, my brother, who works for a major marketing firm in New York, convinced me to connect. \u201cIf you want to make an impact, get on Twitter,\u201d he told me. Almost immediately, I began engaging with interested people, all of whom wanted to better their own teaching practices. Through Twitter, I also connected with Sheninger\u2014along with dozens of others whom I\u2019ve written about and featured on my blog. With schools placing an even greater emphasis on \u201cinterconnectedness\u201d and \u201cglobal citizenship,\u201d I can think of no better professional-development tool for administrators than sharing their ideas online\u2014or for learning about up-to-date teaching methods.\n\u201cThe bottom line is if something is important to you, you\u2019ll find a way,\u201d Sheninger says. \u201cIf not, you\u2019ll come up with an excuse. Education is good for one thing and one thing only\u2014that\u2019s making excuses not to move forward.\u201d\nRemove Web Filters\nSpeaking of moving forward, Sheninger points out another disconnect\u2014this time between Information Technology directors saying that they want to prepare students for the 21st century, while blocking or not allowing students access to social networking sites. The Children\u2019s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires a filter, but, Sheninger says, only to \u201cfilter things such as violence, pornography, gambling.\u201d\nCIPA mentions nothing of blocking Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube, tools which teachers and students need access to for teaching relevant 21st-century skills, such as sharing, collaboration, and self-promotion. Sites like Edmodo and Cel.ly (popular school alternatives to Facebook and Twitter, respectively) allow teachers more control, including approving posts before having them appear live.\nBut here as well, Sheninger makes an important point: \u201cSchools are setting kids up for failure. We are not allowing them to use real world tools to do real world work. School has in effect, become the exact opposite of the real world. We are failing our students mostly because we are not teaching them how to create positive digital footprints, how to be digitally responsible, and digitally literate.\u201d\nIT directors are facing a losing battle. With the increased popularity of tethering, which provides computer web access via mobile devices, more and more people are bypassing school servers altogether. Depending on one\u2019s carrier plan, this feature remains relatively expensive\u2014but for many, the ability to surf the net freely is well worth the added expense. Either way, it\u2019s only a matter of time before tethering becomes significantly more affordable, especially if this technology hopes to compete with 3G and 4G tablets. iPads and knock-off clones already offer unfettered web access, so long as users have decent cell reception or are within range of a Wi-Fi hotspot.\nDuring Sheninger\u2019s seven years as principal at New Milford, his leadership ushered in a dramatic rise in graduation rates and acceptances to four-year colleges, while reducing disciplinary problems. I ask him to sum up his recipe for success: \u201cIt\u2019s all about adapting and evolving with the times, and worrying more about learning than numbers. When you focus more on learning, everything else falls into place.\u201d Administrators would do well to heed this advice, or else risk our children\u2019s future.\nTagged in: 21st century learning digital citizenship Digital Transformation\nSchools Without Playgrounds?\nFixing Bad Professional Development",

        "title": "The Difference Between The Principles And The Promises Of God",
        "raw_content": "The difference between the principles and the promises of god\nGod\u2019s principles are concepts that offer general guidance, are not to be understood as absolutes in each and every situation.\nSome principles contradict each other, advising one course of action at one time, and just the opposite at others. It is knowing which of the two opposing principles to apply at any given time that will bring about the desired results.\nThe principles of Ecclesiastes Chapter Two reveal that there are times to do one thing, and there are times to do just the opposite.\n\u201c\u2026A time to time to plant, and a time to uproot what has been planted (Eccl. 2:2 NABS).\u201d\n\u201cA time to kill; A time to heal; a time to tear down; and a time to build up (Eccl. 2: 3 NASB).\u201d\n\u201cA time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing (Eccl. 2: 5 NASB).\u201d\n\u201cA time to search, and a time to give up as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away (Eccl. 2: 6 NASB).\u201d\n\u201cA time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak (Eccl. 2: 7 NASN).\u201d\n\u201cA time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace (Eccl. 2: 8 NASB).\u201d\nThere are many principles found in the Book of Proverbs promote the concept that honest dealings generate prosperity in the here and now, yet the same book (Proverbs 11: 31) concedes that dishonesty can generate even more earthly \u201cprosperity.\u201d\n\u201cIf the righteous will be rewarded in the earth, How much more the wicked and the sinner (Proverbs 11: 31 NASB).\u201d\nNew Testament Scripture teach that there is nothing wrong with legitimately obtained and enjoyed prosperity (3John 1: 2), but cautions that all the prosperity that the devil\u2019s (Luke 4: 6) world has to offer is not worth the ultimate consequences (Heb. 12: 6/1Cor. 3: 15) one will receive if one chooses to compromise his walk with the Lord in order to obtain or retain it (Mark 8: 36).\nGod\u2019s promises are different. They are absolute and will take place in God\u2019s timing, and in God\u2019s ways, with NO exceptions.\nAccordingly, the wise man will make himself aware of that God has promised to do.\nThis applies to events and situations that we would naturally consider to be positive, and well as ones that we would naturally consider ominous.\nThe classic example of a positive promise is found in such passages as John 3: 16.\n\u201cFor God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3: 16 NASB).\u201d\nOn the other hand, there is the ominous promises in such verses as Rev. 20: 15.\n\u201cIf anyone\u2019s name was not found in written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 20: 15 NASB).\u201d\nThere are no ifs, ands, or buts when it comes to the promises of God taking place. When God promises that something will take place, it is as good as done.\nThe Old Testament book of Proverbs is loaded with godly principles, generally comparing a favorable outcome of godly behavior vs. the unfavorable outcome of engaging in evil or sin.\nIt is important to keep in mind that the rank and file Old Testament believers did not view life after death as being one of great blessing or one of great suffering. They saw the here and now (on Earth) to be the time, if ever, that one was to experience the best blessings or the greatest wrath of God.\nThis line of thought can be seen in much of the Old Testament writings, focusing on the blessings or the adversity of the here and now. Many of the prayers were uttered for deliverance from physical death, and to receive the blessings of God in the here and now.\nEven the coming of the prophesied Messiah, was seen as one who would, like the \u201cJudges\u201d of their past history (See Book of Judges), liberate the nation of Israel from its present political adversary, the Roman Empire.\nIt was believed by many, that not only would the coming Messiah politically liberate them at that time, but that He would establish their national kingdom as one that would never again be overcome.\nThis position had the support of how they i-n-t-e-r-p-r-e-t-e-d Old Testament Scripture (John 5: 9). This highlights the principle that one can quote Scripture verbatim, and yet misunderstand and/or misapply what it really has to say.\nWhen it became known that the restoring the nation of Israel as an independent entity was not the purpose of the First Advent, many of the Lord Jesus Christ\u2019s earliest followers abandoned Him.\nWhat He had to offer was not what they were after.\nNot all that much has changed. When discipleship fails to produce what believers expect, many abandon the call to discipleship, leaving some doubting the very existence of God.\nAnyone can be a \u201cgoody two shoes\u201d as long as things are going his/her way.\nIt is when such things as persecution (2Tim. 3: 12), loss (Job 1: 21), suffering (Phil. 1: 29), rejection (Matt. 13: 20-22), and personal sacrifice (Luke 9: 23) becomes a part of one\u2019s daily experience, that many Church Age, born again believers abandon the post salvation spiritual life.\nThis is due, in part, to mistaking principles for promises.\nSuch born again believers will either return to or seek out one of the devil\u2019s \u201creligious\u201d alternatives, that offer the crown (blessings) without the cross (suffering) that the plan of God will require of them.\nThis was the same strategy that the devil used against the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 4: 6).\n\u201cand he (the devil) led Him (the Lord Jesus Christ) up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, \u201cI will give your all of this domain and it glory\u2026 (Luke 4: 6 italics mine,\u201d somewhat matching one of the promises that the plan of God offered Him (), but without having to endure the shame and the agony of the cross.\nAll He had to do was to worship before the devil Luke 4: 7 NASB).\nChurch Age believers would not go as far as \u201cworshiping\u201d the devil, but many \u201cChristians\u201d are willing to honor the devil by functioning in the ways of the devil\u2019s world in order to \u201cget ahead\u201d in the here and now.\nMany Church Age believers sell out to the devil for a lot less than what the devil is willing to pay.\nAnyone who has experienced both the religious life and the spiritual life can tell you that the religious life is a lot less costly on a day to day basis.\nIn fact, the \u201creligious\u201d life for many only consumes an hour or so once a week, whereas the spiritual life is 24 hours a day, seven days a week.\nWhat the devil won\u2019t tell the religious crowd is that what the Bible calls the lake of fire (Rev. 20: 15) is going to filled with \u201creligious\u201d souls that were never born again (John 3: 5, 7).\nOn the contrary, he leads the \u201creligious\u201d crowd to believe that it is through their religiosity that they earn a place in Heaven. The devil has no problem with humans thinking they are Heaven bound, when they are not. Not only to they pose no threat to his agenda, the unwittingly promote it.\nWhat the devil will not tell the born-again believer who chooses to return to (or to seek out) the \u201creligious\u201d life over the post salvation spiritual life, is that there will be loss of reward (1Cor. 3: 15).\nThe \u201creligious\u201d life is designed to appear to be the means to identify and to establish a lasting relationship the one true God. Like any other counterfeit, it must appear to be the real thing if the deception is going to succeed.\nGod\u2019s plan of salvation was revealed to Man in stages, beginning in Gen. 3: 15. Believers during the Old Testament period did not have the advantage of New Testament details that made clear the plan that God had in mind for the human race at large, and for the nation of Israel.\nWhat we now refer to as the Bible, was composed over a period of approx. 1500 years, with a 400-year gap between what would become the last Book of the Old testament and the beginning of the New Testament in the 1st Century AD. Some date the writing of the Book of Job (not the subject matter) as preceding the writing of the Book of Genesis.\nGenesis was composed by Moses around 1500 BC. As of the completion of the last Book of the Bible (Book of Revelation) in 96 A.D., Man has been given ALL the information that God desires to provide Man with concerning the His plan.\nAny \u201cmissing\u201d details are not a deficiency in Scripture. Like a jog saw puzzle with \u201cmissing\u201d parts, Man\u2019s attempt to fill the fill the missing spaces to form a complete picture has led to many false doctrines that the devil has used to challenge the credibility of Scripture.\nThese missing details are among the \u201csecret things\u201d referenced in Deut. 29: 29 NASB.\nGod has revealed to us everything that we need to know, but not necessarily all that we might want to know.\nGod has provided us with enough information in the Gospel Message alone to make us morally accountable, but withholds some details so that we come to Him on the basis of faith (Heb. 11: 6), as well as fact.\nThere will always be a gap between how far the facts can take us, and the spiritual goal (salvation/edification) with which we want to connect. It takes faith to close the gap.\nThis is true of the Gospel Message to be saved, and is true of the edifying passages of Scripture needed to advance in the life of post (after) salvation discipleship.\nEven though Church Age believers do have New Testament Scripture, many continue to focus their attention on the here and now, and NOT on the life that continues on when we leave our bodies behind.\nEven if we were to live close to 1,000 years on Earth, as did the some of the individuals of the first generations (Gen. 4), it would still be like comparing a single grain of sand (our earthly life span) to the bulk of sand (eternity) contained in the Sahara Desert.\nEven at that, this illustration falls short, as there IS a limit to the number of grains of sand in the Sahara Desert, but there is NO limit to extent of eternity that has no end!\nAddressing the spiritual issues (salvation/edification) during one\u2019s time here on Earth is what determines where and how one will spend all of eternity.\n\u201cFor what does is profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul (Mark 8: 36 NASB)?\u201d\nOnly a fool would seek all the pleasures and \u201ctoys\u201d that this world has to offer if it costs him a place in Heaven as an unbeliever, or costs him his heavenly rewards (1Cor. 3: 15) and privileges (Rev. 2/Rev. 3) if he has been born again.\nThe Lord Jesus Christ spoke of investing one\u2019s time, talents, resources, and energy with an eternal focus in mind (Matt. 6: 19-21).\nThe earthly prosperity of the wicked here on Earth has been a challenging hurdle to overcome along the path to spiritual maturity in each and every generation of human history. The Biblical answer to such questions are found in the principles of such passages as (Psalms 73:1-17/Job 2:10), but it takes a degree of spiritual maturity and the enabling power (John 15: 5) of God to accept and apply them.\nThe primary principle of Proverbs 16 7 tells us that, \u201cWhen a man\u2019s ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies be at peace with him.\nAgain, it is general concept that is in view here, as the earthly experience of an advancing disciple is going to be anything but a \u201cwalk in the park.\u201d\nThe life of an advancing disciple is one of daily, personal sacrifice (Luke 9: 23), and periods of persecution (2Tim. 3: 12) and suffering (Phil. 1: 29).\nSuffering for Christ is not the same as enduring the consequences for the negative choices we (Gal. 6: 7), and others in our personal periphery (Prov. 17: 5), make.\nSuffering for Christ is not the type of suffering (diminished health, wealth, social standing) that is part of the human experience common to believers and unbelievers alike.\nThe difference between the unbeliever and the advancing disciple going through the same type of common adversity, is that the advancing disciple can go through it with, \u201c\u2026 the peace that surpasses all comprehension (Phil. 4: 7 NASB). Doing all things without grumbling or disputing (Phil. 2: 14) is a commandment (not an option) that will \u201ctest the steel\u201d of the even the most advanced disciple that I know. Such things require the strength that the Lord (Phil. 4: 13) provides.\nHow one conducts him/herself in times of suffering that is common to all men will reveal to others where one truly stands in his/her relationship with God (Phil. 4: 4- 6).\nSuffering has the potential of bringing out the best (spiritual maturity) and the worst (manifestation of the sin nature) in all of us.\nMany of us sin from time to time by thinking more highly of ourselves than what we ought (Romans 12: 3), overlooking the fact that we still have a fallen nature within us (Romans 7) that is self-centered and hostile towards God and/or the things of God.\nPride goes before the fall (Prov. 16: 18).\nGod allows such falls to remind of us the proverbial rock (spiritual depravity) from which we all crawled out from under, and to remind us that the spiritual battle (of life) is His. Apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15: 5).\nIn times of suffering that is common to Man, the spiritual issue is a matter of choosing to glorify God by submitting our thoughts and actions to the enabling power (John 15: 5) and control (Romans 8: 5) of God the Holy Spirit, or choosing to allow the fallen nature in us (Romans 7) to have its way.\nEspecially when the pressure of adversity or intense suffering in on, our tongues will \u201cbetray\u201d us, baring our soul, exposing whatever evil thoughts we have stored there that we would otherwise restrain ourselves from revealing.\nNo one really knows another person until they have seen both the best and the worst that we can be.\nSome say it\u2019s the pain, the drugs, the alcohol, or the sickness that is doing the talking. I say that it is the evil that we have in us that comes our when our restraints are removed.\n\u201cBut no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison (James 3: 8 NABS). The poison the tongue ejects comes from the soul structure it represents (Matt. 15: 19).\nThe need to conduct ongoing self-examinations 2Cor. 13:5 to detect and remove evil from one\u2019 soul structure is an essential part of the post salvation spiritual life.\nA: \u201cFor as he thinks within himself, so he is\u2026 (Prov. 23: 7 NASB).\u201d\nThe root of all that one says and does is found in the soul structure.\n\u201cThe spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, Searching the innermost parts (soul structure) of his being (Prov. 20: 27 NASB italics mine).\u201d\nAlthough advancing disciples look forward to the life to come, this does mean that he/she is to walk around with his/her head in the clouds.\nWake up! There is work to be done, and an account to be given (Romans 14: 12).\n\u201c\u2026When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the Earth?\u201d\nFaith is not only WHAT we know, but how we apply what we know to what we do and say (James 1: 22).\nWhen your time comes, be it at the Rapture or the appointed time of your physical death, will you be in the midst of producing divine good?\nEven in a nursing home or on one\u2019s death bed, the advancing disciple still has the unspoken testimony of his daily life and spiritual opportunities to produce divine good. Until we take our last breath, there is a divine purpose for our being Earth.\nDeparting this Earth, be it via the Rapture (1Thess 4: 17) or physical death, is inevitable. No one lives any longer or dies any sooner that what God has a-l-r-e-a-d-y determined (Psalms 31: 15).\nGod chose the day we (our soul -John 3: 6) came into this world, and God has appointed a day for us (our soul) to depart. It is what we choose to do with the time in between these two days that determines where and how we will spend eternity.\nAs good stewards of what God has given us, we should take care of our physical bodies, but one verse of Scripture that will not likely be displayed on the walls of a fitness center is (1Tim. 4: 8).\n\u201cfor bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come (1Tim. 4: 8).\u201d\nHaving an annual physical exam makes sense, but having a spiritual exam (2Cor. 13: 5) on a regular basis is much more important.\nMany of us keep a close watch on what we allow to enter our natural bodies that are destined to turn to dust (Gen. 3: 19), but how many of us take the same steps to monitor what we allow to enter into souls that are going to live on forever?\nGoing through a likely death-resulting experience along the way to our inevitable departure affords the one involved to see where he/she really stands in his/her relationship with God.\nI went through a battle with stage three cancer. There was surgery and 7 \u00bd months of chemo ahead of me, with a 40% chance of survival. I did not pray for a healing, but there were many who did in my behalf. I would never dispute the power of prayer.\nNever-the-less, I was prepared to go home to be with Lord, and I was prepared to continue on with whatever work there was still to be done.\nAs it turned out, God had more work for me to do. My appointed time for departure had not yet come. To date I have been cancer -free for 14 years, but continue to struggle with diabetes.\nWhat I did pray for was the ability to maintain the integrity of the spiritual testimony of my daily life, regardless of the outcome of my physical circumstances.\nConducting oneself as a \u201cChristian\u201d is the duty of a born-again believer. (Luke 17: 9, 10) teaches that one should not expect any special consideration just because one does his duty.\nThere are many ways that one can suffer, but suffering for Christ is the result of adversity one experiences for having engaged in the Great Commission that was given to the Church at large.\nOne does his/her part in the fulfilling of the Great Commission by participating in the process of evangelizing and edification of others. This is what the \u201cgodly\u201d (spiritual) life of 2Tim. 3: 12 NASB) is all about.\nThis adversarial experience does not invalidate the principles of Scripture that generally promote a prosperous and pleasant life, but provides the balance between the good and the adversity, as BOTH come from the hand of God (Job 2: 10) by what He either sends or allows to take place.\nIt is when the anticipated (positive) results are not experienced after having applied any given principle of Scripture, that the advancing disciple relies on such promises as spoken of in Romans 8: 28.\nA favorable outcome for having applied godly principles is dependent on the free will of all the individuals involved.\n\u201cTrain up a child in the way that he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it (Prov. 22: 6 NASB).\u201d\nFirst of all, the \u201cold\u201d being spoken of here is NOT chronological or biological age. It is speaking of spiritual maturity. If the child rejects the teaching and the discipline of the parent, he/she will not develop the spiritual maturity needed to reap the benefits of Prov. 22: 6.\nChristian marriage will not be established nor maintained if all three (God, husband, wife) partners are not on the same page.\nSome promises have qualifying prerequisites if a favorable outcome is going to be experienced.\nThe same God that promises eternal life to the believer (John 3: 16), promises eternal damnation to the unbeliever (John 3: 16, 18/Rev. 20: 15).\"\nThe promise of Romans 8: 28, that God works all things to work together for good, comes with a qualifying prerequisite. That qualifying prerequisite of Romans 8: 28 is love for God. This love for God is in view IF and when God and/or the things of God have top priority in one\u2019s thoughts and actions. This promise does not mean that there won\u2019t be adversity, but that such adversity will work for good in the spiritual life of the one involved.\nThe deeper an advancing disciple treads into enemy held territory, the more adversity he can expect from the Eph.6: 12 forces of evil, and the more that he/she will suffer for Christ.\nEnemy held territory in anywhere that the devil or our own fallen nature has secured and maintains a position of negative influence over our thoughts and accompanying actions.\nEnemy held territory can be as close as the areas of spiritual weakness that exists within our own soul structure/ Enemy held territory is in the souls of those with whom we interact on a daily basis. An area of spiritual weakness consists of areas of our thinking or actions that are inconsistent with the Word of God.\nInternal disturbance will result when there is a conflict in our soul structure between what God has to say, and what ANY other source has to say about any given spiritual subject. External conflict (with others) will be the result when our input stirs up the internal conflicts in others.\nIt is in the midst of these internal and external conflicts of the spiritual life that God is glorified, or is denied the glory, by the choices we make in the midst of spiritual combat (Eph. 6).\nBeing in friendship with the world means being at war (James 4: 4) with the Spirit of God who indwells the physical bodies (1Cor. 3: 16) of Church Age believers).\nHaving a \u201cfling\u201d with the devil\u2019s world is what makes us \u201cspiritual adulteresses (James 4: 4).\u201d\nBeing in fellowship (2Cor. 13: 14) with God means being at war with the devil (1Pet. 5: 8) and his Eph. 6:12 forces of evil.\nNot being at war with either one means, in the best-case scenario, that one is spiritually alive but not involved in the post salvation spiritual life. In the worst-case scenario, one is spiritually dead having never been born again.\nIn either case, the devil is well-pleased and will do all he can to encourage you to remain right where you are.\nIn summary, a principle is a standard offered as general guidance, but should not be interpreted as an absolute. There are exceptions and conditions.\nOn the other hand, a promise is a decree from God that will take place in God\u2019s timing and in God\u2019s ways.\nWhen seeking Biblical guidance and edification, one needs to be aware of the difference between the principles and the promises of God.",

        "raw_content": "The BNC Commemorates the 69th Anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba\nDen palestinske katastrofen, 1948\nIt is possible at least sometimes\u2026\nIt is possible especially now\nInside a prison cell\nIt is possible for prison walls\nFor the cell to become a distant land\nMay 15, 2017 marks the 69th anniversary of the 1948 Nakba, the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland. Between 1947 and 1949, Zionist paramilitaries, and subsequently Israeli forces, made 750,000 to one million indigenous Palestinians into refugees to establish a Jewish-majority state in Palestine.\nThe Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee (BNC) calls on people of conscience the world over to further intensify BDS campaigns to end academic, cultural, sports, military and economic links of complicity with Israel\u2019s regime of occupation, settler-colonialism and apartheid. This is the most effective means of standing with the Palestinian people in pursuing our inherent and UN-stipulated rights, and nonviolently resisting the ongoing, intensifying Nakba.\nThe Israeli regime today is ruthlessly pursuing the one constant strategy of its settler-colonial project \u2014the simultaneous pillage and colonization of as much Palestinian land as possible and the gradual ethnic cleansing of as many Palestinians as practical without evoking international sanctions.\nFollowing in the footsteps of all previous Israeli governments, the current far-right government, the most openly racist in Israel\u2019s history, is heeding the words of the Zionist leader Ze\u2019ev Jabotinsky who wrote in 1923:\nEvery native population in the world resists colonists as long as it has the slightest hope of being able to rid itself of the danger of being colonised. [...] Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population\u2014behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach.\nSixty-nine years after the systematic, premeditated uprooting and dispossession of most of the indigenous Palestinian Arabs from the land of Palestine at the hands of Zionist gangs and later the state of Israel, the Nakba is not over. Israel is intent on building its \u201ciron wall\u201d in Palestinian minds, not just our lands, through its sprawling illegal settlements and concrete walls in the occupied Palestinian territory, its genocidal siege of over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, its denial of the Palestinian refugee\u2019s right to return, its racist laws and policies against Palestinians inside Israel, and its escalating, violent ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem, the Jordan Valley and the Naqab (Negev). It is sparing no brutality in its relentless, desperate attempts to sear into our consciousness the futility of resistance and the vainness of hope.\nThe present mass hunger strike by over one thousand Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and the grassroots support that it has triggered give us hope.\nThe growing support for BDS among international trade unions, including the most recent adoption by the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) -- representing over 910,000 workers -- of an \u201cinternational economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel\u201d to achieve comprehensive Palestinian rights, gives us hope.\nThe fact the none of the 26 Oscar nominees offered a free, $55,000-valued trip by the Israeli government accepted the propaganda gift and that six out of eleven National Football League players turned down a similar Israeli junket gives us hope.\nThe BDS movement has succeeded in sharply raising the price of corporate complicity in Israel\u2019s crimes against the Palestinian people. It has compelled companies of the size of Orange and Veolia to end their complicity and pushed global giant G4S to begin exiting the Israeli market. Churches, city councils and thousands around the world have pledged to boycott Hewlett Packard (HP) for its deep complicity in Israel\u2019s occupation and apartheid. This gives us and many human rights campaigns around the world great hope.\nThe Barcelona municipality\u2019s decision to end complicity with Israel\u2019s occupation, coming on the heels of tens of local councils in the Spanish state declaring themselves \u201cIsraeli apartheid free zones,\u201d give us hope.\nThe divestment by some of the largest mainline churches in the US, including the United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church USA and the United Church of Christ, from Israeli banks or complicit international corporations gives us hope.\nThe spread of remarkably effective BDS campaigns from South Africa to South Korea, from Egypt to Chile, and from the UK to the US gives us real hope.\nThe growing intersectional coalitions that are emerging in many countries, organically re-connecting the struggle for Palestinian rights with the diverse international struggles for racial, economic, gender, climate and indigenous justice give us unlimited hope.\nIn 1968, twenty years after the Nakba but unrelated to it, Dr. Martin Luther King said, \u201cThere can be no justice without peace and there can be no peace without justice.\u201d For seven decades, and against all odds, Palestinians have continued to assert our inalienable right to self-determination and to genuine peace, which can only stem from freedom, justice and equality.\nBut to reach that just peace we realize that we must nourish our hope for a dignified life with our boundless commitment to resist injustice, resist apathy and, crucially, resist their \u201ciron walls\u201d of despair.\nIn this context, the Palestinian-led, global BDS movement with its impressive growth and unquestionable impact is today an indispensable component of our popular resistance and the most promising form of international solidarity with our struggle for rights.\nNo iron wall of theirs can suppress or overshadow the rising sun of our emancipation.\nKronikk: Torturstaten Israel | Lars ...",

        "title": "bebopified: Concert review: Roy Ayers at the Dakota",
        "raw_content": "When: July 28, 2010 * Where: Dakota * Who: Roy Ayers, vibraphone/vocals; Ray Gaskins, sax/keyboards/vocals; Mark Adams, keys; Trevor Allen, bass; Lee Pearson, drums; John Pressley, vocals\nIt felt like I had wandered into someone else\u2019s party. Most other people who had come to see Roy Ayers knew his music; many had grown up with it. I was a brand-new fuzzy yellow chick to his music. A fuzzy white chick. Like Rachelle Ferrell back in May, Ayers drew a sizable black crowd to the Dakota, which was recently named Music Venue of the Year at the Minnesota Black Music Awards.\nI'd read that many artists have sampled Ayers\u2019 music (Mary J. Blige, A Tribe Called Quest, P. Diddy), and heard Guru\u2019s Jazzmatazz Vol. 1 track, \"Take a Look At Yourself,\" that features him (R.I.P., Guru), but that was as far as I went until Wednesday night.\n(If you want to hear how various artists have sampled Ayers\u2019 music, check out a website called WhoSampled, but be warned: you will spend a lot of time there.)\nAt first it was too quiet storm for me (\u201cNo Stranger to Love\u201d) and too loud (earplugs needed) but Ayers and his band drew me in. I couldn\u2019t help it. The beats, the grooves, even Ayers\u2019 banter (\u201cSome of us don't trip. Those who don't trip need to trip\") were irresistible. There was a lot of talk, and some fooling around onstage, but when that band got serious you just fell in. And when Ayers really played the vibes\u2014in longer solos, not just musical punctuation marks\u2014the sound was liquid silver and gold.\n\"No Stranger\" was followed by \u201cWoodpecker,\u201d with Pearson playing rat-a-tats on the drums and Gaskins contributing an impressive sax and keyboards duet all by himself: sax with his left hand, keyboards with his right. A lengthy, funky jam-band track. \u201cThe Third Eye,\u201d a tune (Ayers explained) \u201cfrom when I was into my spiritual thing, Kahlil Gibran\u201d that became a spoken word piece.\nPeople called out names of songs they wanted to hear: \u201cDaylight,\u201d \u201cRunning Away,\u201d \u201cEverybody Loves the Sun.\u201d Promises were made.\nRay Gaskin\nNext up, \u201cShady Lane,\u201d with a spoken homage to Ray Charles, Curtis Mayfield, and Michael Jackson. The deliciously groovy \u201cSearchin\u2019.\u201d \u201cBaby, You Got It,\u201d during which Gaskins quoted Joni Mitchell\u2019s \u201cBig Yellow Taxi\u201d: You don\u2019t know what you\u2019ve got \u2019til it\u2019s gone.\nI was kicking myself. How could I have known about Barry White and completely missed Roy Ayers?\nThen \u201cRunning Away\u201d (doobie-doo-run-run-run). The crowd was on its feet for most of this one. Gaskins played a screaming soprano sax solo and Ayers took a luscious turn on his electric vibes. \u201cYou Send Me,\" an infectious version of the Sam Cooke tune (\"you-you-you-you-you-you send me\"). \u201cEverybody Loves the Sunshine\u201d with a reggae beat. Just bees and things and flowers.\nI looked around and saw how happy everyone was\u2014Ayers, the band, the women sitting in front of me, Deborah to my right, Robert at a table in front of us. I was happy, too.\nIt was a generous set. If you already know Ayers, I suspect you\u2019ve heard a soundtrack in your head as you\u2019ve read this.\nWhere should I start my Roy Ayers collection?\nAyers' cool MalletKATPRO electronic vibes",

It includes my great-great grandfather's 1864 diary. He was a Union soldier. I'm just waiting on some comment from the people I gave proof copies to. Ahhh. I finished reading Turn of the Screw and didn't love it. Didn't even like it that much. I reviewed it on Goodreads, but felt a little funny doing so. It's a classic and greater minds than mine seem to love it. I find it tough to judge a book written in another era. It's like reading a foreign language a lot of the time.",

        "raw_content": "Table of Contents > Allergies > Vaccine allergy\nVaccine allergy\nAlso listed as: Hypersensitivity reaction to vaccines, Allergic reaction to vaccines\nAllergy triggers in vaccines\nAllergen, allergens, allergen-specific immunoglobulin (IgE) test, allergic, allergic reaction, allergic response, anaphylactic reaction, anaphylactic shock, anaphylaxis, antibiotics, antibodies, antibody, antihistamines, auto-injectable epinephrine, chicken allergens, chicken pox, chicken proteins, corticosteroids, desensitization, desensitized, epinephrine, flu, flu shot, flu vaccine, gelatin, histamine, hives, immune, immune defense system, Ig, IgE, immune system, immune reaction, immune response, immunization, immunoglobulin, immunoglobulin E, influenza vaccine, mercury, MMR, RAST, rubella, sensitization, shingles, sensitized, skin test, vaccination, vaccine, vaccine-induced immunity, varicella, white blood cells.\nPatients receive vaccines to prevent infections and diseases from developing. Although rare, some patients may develop allergic reactions to vaccines. This may occur when an individual is allergic to one or more products contained in the vaccine. Most allergic reactions occur if the vaccine contains antibiotics, egg proteins, gelatin, or mercury.\nVaccines work by stimulating the body's immune system. Vaccines contain small amounts of disease-causing organisms that allow the immune system to produce antibodies to the foreign invader. Once antibodies are developed, the immune system is able to respond quickly to the infection if the disease-causing organism ever enters the body. Consequently, individuals become immune to the specific illness after receiving a vaccine.\nSome vaccines require more than one shot to take affect. Some vaccines may contain live viruses or bacteria that have been weakened, while others may contain inactivated (killed) microorganisms.\nLive, weakened vaccines, also called attenuated vaccines, contain disease-causing organisms. These organisms have been grown in a laboratory so that they are unable to actually infect the human patient. However, in rare instances, the vaccine may infect the recipient or those who come into close contact with a recently vaccinated individual. This is more likely to occur in individuals who have extremely weakened immune systems (such as chemotherapy or HIV/AIDS patients). In general, live vaccines, such as those for yellow fever and measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), have shown to produce stronger immune responses than inactivated vaccines. Some patients may only need one shot to produce life-long immunity.\nOther vaccines, such as the influenza (flu) and cholera vaccines, contain microorganisms that have been killed with chemicals or heat. In general, these vaccines induce an incomplete or short-lived immune response. Therefore, patients usually need to receive booster shots (additional doses of the vaccine to enhance its effectiveness). These vaccines are generally safer than live vaccines because there is no chance that they will infect the patient.\nSome types of vaccines only contain disease-causing toxins that are produced by bacteria. These vaccines do not contain any microorganisms. For example, the tetanus vaccine contains a bacterial toxin produced by tetanus bacteria. This toxin has been altered so that it will not cause disease in humans. Patients who receive this type of vaccine will become immune to the specific disease-causing toxin.\nAccellular and subunit vaccines are made with just part of the bacteria or virus. For instance, the Haemophilus influenzae type B and hepatitis vaccines are produced this way.\nPeople may develop allergic reactions to any type of vaccine and/or its components. The severity and duration of allergic reactions to vaccines vary among patients. Symptoms can develop anywhere from several minutes to several hours after the vaccine is administered. Anaphylaxis, a systemic allergic reaction that can cause low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, shock, and loss of consciousness, may occur. Anaphylaxis is considered a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate medical treatment.\nEpinephrine is a medication used to treat anaphylaxis. Other medications, including antihistamines and corticosteroids, may help treat other allergic symptoms associated with vaccines.\nAllen CW, Campbell DE, Kemp AS.

Vaccine allergy and pseudo-allergy. Eur J Dermatol. 2003 Jan-Feb;13(1):10-5.\nPatients may develop an allergic reaction to a vaccine if the immune system overreacts to substances contained in the vaccine. Most allergic reactions occur when the vaccine contains antibiotics, egg proteins, gelatin, or mercury.\nTypically, an allergic response is not triggered the first time the body encounters the allergen (substance that causes an allergic reaction). In fact, some people can be exposed to the allergen several times before an allergy develops. It is only after one or more episodes of exposure to an allergen that the immune system becomes sensitized. During this process, the body's white blood cells develop immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to the allergens. Once sensitized, the antibodies quickly detect and bind to the allergens in the body.\nAfter binding to allergens, antibodies trigger other immune cells to release chemicals (such as histamine) that cause allergic symptoms, such as runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing, as well as anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that affects many parts of the body. Symptoms vary from mild to severe and may include breathing difficulties, shock, and loss of consciousness. Anaphylaxis is a potentially fatal reaction that requires immediate treatment.\nGeneral: Allergic reactions to vaccines are rare, and symptoms can range from mild to severe. The most serious allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis, can be life threatening. Symptoms can develop anywhere from several minutes to several hours after the vaccine is administered.\nAnaphylaxis (anaphylactic shock): Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction, which means that many parts of the body are affected. Symptoms of anaphylaxis can vary from mild to severe and may include low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, chest pain, hives, and loss of consciousness. The time lapse between contact with the allergen and anaphylactic symptoms varies among individuals. Symptoms may appear immediately or may be delayed from 30 minutes to one hour after exposure. Symptoms may also disappear and then recur hours later. Once symptoms arise, they progress quickly. Anyone with symptoms of anaphylaxis should seek immediate treatment.\nAngioedema: Some hypersensitive patients may experience angioedema in response to a vaccine. Angioedema refers to the swelling that occurs in the tissue just below the skin. Angioedema is similar to hives, except it occurs deeper in the skin. The swellings, known as welts, usually appear around the eyes and mouth. They may also be present on the hands, feet, and throat.\nAsthma:Asthma symptoms, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, may be triggered by vaccine allergies, especially in infants and young children.\nHives: Some patients may develop hives. Hives are red, itchy swollen welts on the skin that may appear suddenly and disappear quickly. They often develop in clusters, with new clusters appearing as other areas clear up.\nGeneral: Patients who have suspected allergies may undergo allergy testing to confirm a diagnosis. If a patient tests positive to vaccine allergens (substances that trigger an allergic reaction), the vaccine may not be recommended, or it may be given in low doses over a longer period of time.\nPatients who experience symptoms of anaphylaxis after receiving a vaccine are treated with epinephrine immediately. Because anaphylaxis is life threatening, a diagnosis is not needed to begin urgent medical treatment. Less-severe allergic reactions to vaccines can be diagnosed with either a skin test or allergen-specific immunoglobulin (IgE) test.\nSkin test: A skin test is used to determine whether a patient is allergic to certain allergens that are contained in vaccines. During the test, the skin is exposed to different allergens. The skin is then observed for an allergic reaction. If an allergen triggers an allergic reaction to a test, the patient will develop reddening, swelling, or a raised, itchy red wheal (bump) that looks similar to a mosquito bite. The healthcare provider will measure the size of the wheal and record the results. The larger the wheal, the more severe the allergy. A skin test is typically conducted in a healthcare provider's office. Skin tests cause minimal, if any, discomfort. The needles used barely penetrate the skin's surface and will not cause bleeding.\nAllergen-specific immunoglobulin (IgE) test: An allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) test, commonly referred to as radioallergosorbent test (RAST\u00ae), may also be used to determine whether the patient is allergic to certain allergens in vaccines. However, this test is less accurate than a skin test. It is usually performed in patients who have coexisting severe skin diseases (such as eczema or psoriasis) that make it difficult to interpret a skin test.\nDuring the procedure, a sample of blood is taken from the patient and sent to a laboratory that performs specific IgE blood tests. The allergen is bound to a paper disc called an allergosorbent. Then the patient's blood is added. If the blood contains immunoglobulin antibodies (substances that detect and bind to foreign substances in the body) to the allergen, the blood will bind to the allergen on the disc. A radiolabelled ANTI-IgE antibody is then added to the disc to measure the level of immunoglobulin E present in the blood. The higher the radioactivity, the higher the level of IgE in the blood and the more severe the allergy.\nA qualified healthcare provider will interpret the results of the test. In general, the sensitivity of these tests ranges from 50-90%, with the average being about 70-75%. The patient will receive test results in about 7-14 days.\nGeneral: Patients should tell their healthcare providers if they have any allergies, especially to foods or medications. Patients who experience symptoms of anaphylaxis should receive epinephrine as quickly as possible. Other medications, including antihistamines, and corticosteroids, may be used to treat less-severe allergic reactions.\nPatients who experience an allergic reaction to vaccines should not receive the booster shot until allergy testing is performed. After allergy testing, a healthcare provider may recommend that the patient receive lower doses of the vaccine over a period of time. The doses are gradually increased until the patient is able to take the full dose. This process is called desensitization because the body builds up a tolerance to the allergens.\nAntihistamines: Oral antihistamines like diphenhydramine (Benadryl\u00ae) have been used to reduce allergy symptoms. During a severe allergic reaction, diphenhydramine may be injected into the patient.\nCorticosteroids: Corticosteroids may be injected into the vein to quickly relieve symptoms of severe allergic reactions. These drugs reduce swelling and many other symptoms of allergic reactions. Individuals may also need to take an oral corticosteroid, such as prednisone (Prednisone Intensol\u00ae, Sterapred\u00ae, or Sterapred\u00ae DS), for several days after the initial treatment. Oral steroids may also be given for patients who experience less severe reactions. Also, a corticosteroid cream, such as Hydrocortisone 1%), which is available over-the-counter, has been used to relieve swelling and itching associated with hives.\nEpinephrine: Epinephrine is only used to treat very severe reactions, including anaphylaxis. Epinephrine is injected and acts as a bronchodilator because it opens the airways. It also constricts the blood vessels, which increases blood pressure. Patients who experience anaphylaxis may also be admitted to the hospital to have their blood pressure monitored and possibly to receive breathing support. Other emergency interventions may also include endotracheal intubation (placing a tube through the nose or mouth into the airway) or emergency surgery to place a tube directly into the trachea (tracheostomy or cricothyrotomy).\nIndividuals with a history of severe allergies should carry a prescription epinephrine auto-injector, called an EpiPen\u00ae. If symptoms of anaphylaxis appear after exposure to an allergen, the patient uses the device to inject the epinephrine into his/her thigh. A trained family member of friend may help the patient administer the epinephrine, if necessary.\nLess severe allergic reactions that affect breathing may be treated with an inhaled epinephrine bronchodilator.\nNeedles must be sterile in order to avoid disease transmission. Avoid with heart valve disease, infections, bleeding disorders or with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (anticoagulants), medical conditions of unknown origin, and neurological disorders. Avoid on areas that have received radiation therapy and during pregnancy. Use cautiously with lung disease (such as asthma or emphysema). Use cautiously in elderly or medically compromised patients, diabetics, or with a history of seizures. Avoid electroacupuncture with irregular heartbeat or in patients with pacemakers.\nBurdock: Traditionally, burdock has been used to treat hives. However, there is currently no human evidence on its safety and effectiveness for this use.\nDetoxification therapy (cleansing): Detoxification has been suggested as a possible treatment for hives. However, there is currently no scientific evidence of its safety or effectiveness for this use.\nKudzu: Traditionally, kudzu has been used to treat hives. However, there is currently no scientific evidence the safety and efficacy for this use.\nUse cautiously with anticoagulants/anti-platelet and blood pressure lowering agents, hormones, antiarrhythmics, benzodiazepines, bisphosphonates, diabetes medications, drugs that are broken down by the liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes, mecamylamine, neurologic agents ,and methotrexate. No well-designed studies on the long-term effects of kudzu are available. Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to Pueraria lobata or members of the Fabaceae/Leguminosae family. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.\nUse cautiously over large blood vessels and thin or weak skin. Avoid with aneurysms, any kind of \"heat syndrome,\" heart disease, convulsions or cramps, diabetic neuropathy, extreme fatigue and/or anemia, fever, or inflammatory conditions. Do not use with skin conditions, ulcerated sores, or skin adhesions. Avoid areas with an inflamed organ, contraindicated acupuncture points, face, genitals, head, or nipples. Use cautiously in patients who have just finished exercising or taking a hot bath or shower. Use cautiously with elderly people with large vessels. Not advisable to bathe or shower for up to 24 hours after a moxibustion treatment. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.\nAvoid if allergic or hypersensitive to peppermint or menthol. Peppermint is generally considered safe in non-allergic adults when taken in small doses. Use cautiously with G6PD deficiency or gallbladder disease. Menthol, which makes up part of peppermint oil, is generally considered safe in non-allergic adults. However, doses of menthol greater than one gram per kilogram of body weight may be deadly in humans. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.\nPatients should tell their healthcare providers if they have any allergies, especially to foods or medications.\nAntibiotics: Polio vaccines contain streptomycin, polymyxin B, and neomycin. In addition, the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and chickenpox vaccine also contain trace amounts of neomycin. Thus, these vaccines may cause an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to these antibiotics.\nPatients who are allergic to antibiotics should consult their healthcare providers before receiving antibiotic-containing vaccines. Depending on the severity of the patient's history of allergic reactions, a healthcare provider may not recommend these vaccines.\nOne of the most common drug allergies occurs in response to penicillin. However, there are currently no vaccines made with penicillin or penicillin-related antibiotics.\nEggs: The current measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine contains trace amounts of egg proteins, to which some patients may be allergic. However, according to the National Advisory Committee on Immunization, MMR can be administered safely to 99% of patients with egg allergies.\nThe influenza vaccine, also called the flu shot, also contains egg proteins. Patients who are allergic to eggs should not receive this vaccine because it contains enough egg protein to trigger a severe, life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. The most severe symptoms of anaphylaxis include low blood pressure, breathing difficulties, shock, and loss of consciousness, all of which can be fatal.\nThe yellow fever vaccine is also made with egg proteins. Yellow fever, an often fatal viral infection, is a major concern for patients living in or traveling to South America or Africa. Therefore, patients who are allergic to eggs and are planning to visit these areas should discuss their options with their healthcare providers. Usually, patients who are allergic to eggs receive lower doses of the vaccine over a longer period of time. The doses are gradually increased until the patient is able to take the full dose. This process is called desensitization because the body builds up a tolerance to the egg proteins.\nGelatin: Some live vaccines, including MMR, chicken pox, and yellow fever, contain gelatin. This ingredient helps to stabilize the vaccine. Patients who are severely allergic to gelatin should consult their healthcare providers before receiving such vaccines.\nMercury (thimerosal): Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative that was once commonly used in vaccines. This ingredient helps kill any live contaminants in vaccines. However, in rare cases, thimerosal may trigger minor allergic reactions in sensitive patients.\nAlthough no serious side effects have been reported from thimerosal at doses used in vaccines, the Public Health Service (PHS) agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and vaccine manufacturers have agreed that the ingredient should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure. Currently, most vaccines in the United States do not contain thimerosal.",

        "raw_content": "Weight Management : One Type of Diet Can Add Years to Your Life\nTHURSDAY, Nov. 16, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Obese people who follow a low-fat weight-loss plan could tack extra years onto their life, a new review of medical evidence suggests.\nSuch diets appear to help decrease overall risk of early death by 18 percent in people with obesity, amounting to six fewer deaths for every 1,000 people, researchers concluded.\n\"Weight loss by cutting calories with diets low in fat -- diets which also happened to be low in sugar and refined carbohydrates -- appears to reduce premature mortality for people who are obese,\" said study co-author Dr. Alison Avenell. She is clinical chair of health services research with the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.\nHowever, the review could not determine whether these diets specifically reduce risk of heart disease or cancer.\nResearchers also could not tell if adding exercise to dieting produced any additional benefits.\n\"Weight-loss diets are certainly better for providing weight loss than exercise alone,\" Avenell said. \"Exercise helps, especially keeping weight off in the long term, and has many other benefits to health. We just didn't have enough data to find a difference between studies that did and did not include exercise.\"\nObesity plays havoc with the body, increasing the risk of many diseases and risk factors that lead to premature death. These include type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, Avenell said.\n\"Every system in the body is affected by obesity,\" she said.\nAvenell and her team conducted a literature review to see whether dieting helps blunt the impact of obesity.\nThey gathered data on 54 clinical trials involving more than 30,000 adults in all. The trials dated from 1966 to 2016 and had a minimum follow-up of one year. Although details were sometimes scanty, all but one trial featured weight-loss diets that called for reduced fat intake.\nThe researchers found high-quality evidence from 34 trials showing that weight-reducing diets decrease the risk of early death for adults with obesity.\nBut fewer studies specifically tracked deaths from heart problems and cancer, making it difficult for the researchers to determine whether dieting would help stem those specific causes of death.\n\"Very few of the trials we looked at gave data on cancer outcomes, but there were more data for heart disease outcomes,\" Avenell said. \"Even so, we probably just didn't have enough studies reporting these data to examine heart disease and cancer well.\"\nCardiologist Dr. Andrew Freeman said that even though this study couldn't show it, the overall decrease in death risk likely is tied to a decrease in cancer and heart disease risk.\n\"My guess is somewhere in the overall mortality decrease you will find a decrease in cardiovascular disease and cancer deaths,\" said Freeman, who's with National Jewish Health in Denver.\nFreeman, who wasn't involved in the study, believes that further research will conclude there's no single magic bullet for dropping excess weight and improving health.\n\"What will ultimately come out of all of this work is it's not just one thing. It's not just weight loss, not just diet, not just stress reduction or social support, but a combination of many things together,\" Freeman said. \"That's where the best outcomes are, and it hasn't been looked at in detail because it's very hard to capture.\"\nThe new study was published Nov. 14 in the journal BMJ.",

Parrish\nIn lieu of flowers donations may be made in memory of Cap Parrish to help purchase a monument to recognize Montevallo School.\nMeredith \u201cCap\u201d Parrish, age 78, of El Dorado Springs, Missouri, passed away June 22, 2011, at Medicalodges Care Center in Nevada, Missouri.

        "raw_content": "Home > Member Posts > \u2018Feminism \u2013 a movement not for the marginalised\u2019 by Edward Tagoe\n\u2018Feminism \u2013 a movement not for the marginalised\u2019 by Edward Tagoe\nAffirmative Action, feminism, Marginalisation, Nepotism\nFirst of all I want to state that I admit there indeed are more men in influential positions than there are women. I admit some irresponsible men treat men as though they were second-class humans, and above all, I do admit history has not been fair to my great-grand mother and yes, the bible which happens to be the most influential book today, was written with a male-bias handwriting (due to the Jewish traditions and focus then). I side with many other women who push for a world which should be blind to gender and who put in effort to make sure there are EQUAL opportunities available to men and women. Am I a feminist if I believe in the above? No!! This is because many, if not all feminism groups have strayed away from the cause to create an equal playing field into what I now term as a neo-nepotistic agenda seeking group. Below are the reason why I do not support today\u2019s feminist groups.\nThe Elitist Advantage ;Interventions in the form of affirmative actions and quota systems have been instituted for years (surprisingly by learned authorities) to bridge the gap between men and women in academia, however the gap still exists. This is because some of these interventions are snatched by privileged women who with little effort could have gotten access to such resources anyways. Have you ever heard of a quota for Kayayes in University of Ghana for them to study IT or a course which will give them some economic advantage? No! It is still accessed by the class of ladies who attended advantaged schools in Ghana but fell below the qualification score by a point or two. Such candidates still get into Uni through affirmative action policies or some kind of intervention, leaving behind the lady who attended senior high school in a village with no lights and/or water. I see and hear some of these interventions every now and then, and do you know who goes on to apply for such programs? The very women who drive in their own cars, or are being driven, the women who own their own companies and are thinking about starting their third one. Such interventions keep going to the women who are still privileged. And they are the ones who will push for such interventions because they benefit more, and that is why some of them support feminism, not necessarily because they are interested in travelling to the country side to visit widows suffering from archaic cultural norms which prevent them from meeting their goals. They keep accessing the programs which will get them to fly first class to New York and speak in 5 star hotels. That will definitely not bridge the gap! It only makes sure the advantaged women stay advantaged!\nContradictions : Have a chat with two or more self-declared feminists and you will see contradictions echoing through their claims. One group claims Feminisms is not just a fight for women, but men as well. Oh really? FEMinism. Perhaps I missed some French lessons in school, but as far as I know, the word FEMME, is more feminine than Unisex, so why not change the name of the cause? Another group even claims other Feminist groups are NOT Feminists! For the love of God, is it too hard to get a clear definition for Feminism? It is not uncommon to see some of the supporters of feminism holding on to their own personal definition. With such definition difficulties, it is just hard to be part of such a group! It is just too hard! One main theme which runs through their seemingly contradictory explanations though is the push against a Patriarchy world. As I mentioned earlier, I agree with them when they demand a gender-blind world. And thus I go on to ask, who are the first people to point to us when a whole panel is full of males? If indeed they were blind to gender, how on earth would they be counting men/women rather than human beings on a panel. And this is the bigger contradiction I find it difficult to deal with. Feminist are usually the first people to point to the skew in gender ratio in membership, how could they do this if they were gender-blind? How can you ask the rest of the world to be gender blind if you are not willing/able to be gender blind yourselves? I always say, when I walk into a room, I don\u2019t see men vrs women, I rather see human beings. However the Feminism microscope will force you to look with binary goggles ie. Men vrs Women!\nThe Statistical Flaw : Most feminists will be quick to remind you of the need for different unisex societies and leadership groups to reflect the 51:49 female to male ratio (*The ratio is not totally accurate but any ratio with more women is close to the correct figure). Let me break it down for you. They claim because there are more women than men in Ghana/the world, it makes sense for there to be as many men as there are women in parliament, on different boards , in the Executive. They simply don\u2019t understand why out of the many Presidents in the world, only 19 are women. On the surface, this sounds logical, but once you scrutinize this claim to some more rigid statistics, you find this theory crumble into pieces.\nFirst of all, the above claim completely ignores QUALIFICATION and INTEREST as important factors. If there are 6 women and 4 men in the world. Out of which 2 women were qualified for University education and showed interest by applying, and on the other hand 3 men were qualified and applied for university education, the sample is not longer THE NUMBER OF MEN AND WOMEN IN THE WORLD, but rather the number of qualified and interested applicants. So at this point it is not fair for one to expect a 50:50 ratio.\nIf there is a ballot sheet and there is no female candidate on it, how do you expect the country to have a chance of producing a Female President? What Feminists should be doing is rather to focus on increasing the number of qualified and interested persons rather than expecting society to yield to their \u201cwe want more Female Presidents\u201d theory. I presume a bottom-up approach will yield better results. In any case, who cares about what gender a professional is? Seriously, does the world need good female engineers or do we need good engineers? Does the world need knowledgeable parliamentarians or do we need knowledgeable female parliamentarians? Except in rare cases when I\u2019d prefer to be seen by a male doctor to a female doctor for personal reasons, in most other cases, I don\u2019t really care about what is the gender of my lawyer or tv presenter or banker!\nIn Ghana\u2019s 1st parliament, did you know Kwame Nkrumah reserved 30% seats for ONLY women? Cruel huh? That meant that in our very first parliament, it was possible to have a parliament full of women, but it was NOT POSSIBLE to have a parliament full of men. And guess what happened. The 30% quota was not event reached! All one needed to do was to show interest as a female MP, and she was in! Yet, we still did not have the 30% quota fully subscribed.\nAnd why on earth are they not pushing for a 50:50 representation in our Prisons? Are women only worthy to be in good positions and not in the bad?\nThe Biological Truth: From Day 1, our biological make-up makes us different. Of course, our differences do not make either one superior to the other, but we are DIFFERENT nonetheless. These differences push us to react to circumstances differently. Men are more aggressive than women, sometimes the aggression ends up getting us in the wrong place. When not channelled well, it sees more men committing suicide (and I don\u2019t see any feminist acknowledging that), it also sees more men dying before age 12, and gets more men in Prison. These are some of the negative by-products of our aggression. There are good sides of our aggression though. More men stepping up to be part of every group they can handle, more men taking initiatives despite the consequences. Such outcomes may or may not be as a result of socialisation. They are just an exhibition of the inner hormones burning in us. Ever wondered why the fastest man did 9.58 sec whiles the fastest women did 10.49? When it gets us into trouble, we accept it, when it gets us into leadership positions, we are told it is not fair!!!\nBlaming the wrong man : If I went to No.10 Downing Street and I knocked on David Cameron\u2019s door asking him to give me back the many ounces of gold his great grandparents took away from the Gold Coast, do you know what he would say? He would say HE owes me NOTHING. I cannot blame the wrong white man for my or his great-grand parent\u2019s actions or inaction. He is an innocent man, although he is benefiting from the end-results. It is for this same reason I think it is not fair for feminists to tell the 11th man that he cannot be President just because there have been 10 male Presidents before him. It is just not fair to tell a man that his grandparents created a man\u2019s world and thus you are visiting the punishments on him, by making things easier for the ladies he is competing with. As a black entrepreneur, I feel there are more opportunities in the west than there are down here is sub-saharan Africa, but do I have to sulk and blame the white man for the 4 centuries of slave trade? No! I pick myself up and build capacity and train myself and find out how I can compete despite the differences in opportunities. The white entrepreneurs that exist currently cannot be blamed for the slave trade. Most of them don\u2019t even know what used to be Gold Coast. It is the same way I do not think it is fair to blame today\u2019s man for the patriarchal world created years ago. Today\u2019s man has nothing to do with it. If anyone has to suffer for it, it should be our grand daddies who are obviously dead and gone. Let today\u2019s man go through his education without being told \u2018he is the cause of the woman\u2019s predicaments\u2019, because he is not. He deserves to get into school with the same grades his female counterparts will get in with.\nIt is a human problem, let\u2019s treat it as such : When a man beats his wife, it is one man who has beaten his wife. It is unfortunate when it goes on to be captured as a \u2018men beat women\u2019. It needs to be made clear, that man does not represent all the men in Ghana/the world. So we need to be united as humans and address the issue where a few men treat their counterparts aggressively. If it is captioned that way I will join the fight and help fight against these irresponsible men as well. However they make it seem as though it is a \u2018men vrs women\u2019 problem and all men are bad and all women are victims, which usually is not the case. Humans have faced several problems in their quest to create a healthy world. Do you remember Polio? It was handled as the human race vrs Polio. Do you remember bird flu? It was also handled as a human problem, why are we handling this one as a \u2018women\u2019s problem\u2019 and not a human problem? It needs to be a \u2018humans vrs irresponsible partners\u2019 battle and not a \u2018men vrs women\u2019 battle. The latter won\u2019t get them much support.\nLet them count their blessings, men are cursed too : You know about maternity leave right? Ever heard of paternity leave? (I know there are a few forward-thinking organizations which are introducing paternity leaves, but is not common, so I will not assume it exists). You know about mother\u2019s day right? It went viral in the media, whiles father\u2019s day went unnoticed. At 11pm, on a any day, a lady stands a higher chance of getting a lift from a driver who plies that route than a man does. Yes, true. Because black young men at midnight are very risky! So there are many other instances where women rank higher on the benefit scale than men do. Yet, they do not highlight those blessings. If I applied for a job as a receptionist, the woman stands a higher chance of being selected. You know why? Because she will give the organization a welcoming feel, and I won\u2019t. They\u2019d rather use me for a Black Horse energy drink ad. Every aphrodisiac has a display of a black man\u2019s muscular physique. Is that all I am good for? Sex? Both sexes suffer in one way or the other, and that is why I think it is best it is treated as a human problem. There are many instances where a woman would use her glamour and sensitivity to beat a man, in such situations they do not admit their gender helped. But when their gender gets them elsewhere, it is the man\u2019s fault all of a sudden!\nA woman with a begging bowl is not a nice scene : How would you feel as a woman if you were told you are currently occupying a high position in society as a women only because there was an intervention or because men were prevented from applying for that position. How would you feel if you turned out to be the best student as a lady just because the board had acknowledged there had been too many best students who are males and now want a woman? I am not a woman, but I assume such persons would feel some low self-esteem. If you are occupying a position you need to occupy it as one who is qualified as a competitive candidate and not as one who got there because the world was tired of seeing men in that position. I have had the chance to work with some amazing women, and these are women determined to make a difference despite their challenges. It was not difficult for me to believe these women currently occupy their positions not because of their gender, but rather because they know their trade. We need to train the new generation of women to become the kind which will not use their gender as a weapon, but will rather use their brains, skills, interest and experience as their advantage.\nWill there be a day when we will see a man occupy the seat of the Ministry of Women and Social Protection?\nEdward there are too many inaccuracies in this piece. It will take me all day if I try to respond to each individual point. We\u2019ll chat more when I see you in person.\nIn the meantime do check out this article where I mentioned men\u2019s higher rates of suicide http://www.thisisafrica.me/opinion/detail/20000/men-do-not-cry Feminists have been writing about how men also suffer from patriarchy for ages\nYeah. And those inaccuracies begin with grammar\u2026\nKajsa Hallberg Adu | October 8, 2013 at 7:52 pm\nHowever, some of the problems Ed points out are also real for feminism, eg how can we ask for a gender balanced world and constantly be so focused on women, for instance noticing women lacking in panels etc.\nI think the world privilege comes to mind, only when you belong to a privileged group (for instance, men have been privileged throughout history as Ed points out in his disclaimer-type intro) you can make the choice not to focus on \u201cdifferences\u201d. However when you do NOT belong to that lucky group and go to a conference and realize your group is not represented, not invited or not heard, then those NOTs cannot be ignored.\nI am a feminist until that changes, then I will declare myself a humanist.",

There are 700 decathlon teams in the state and 66 make it to the state level. The teams are made up of nine members, include three A-students, three B- students and 3 C-students. During the competition, students take seven multiple choice tests, give speeches, are interviewed by a panel of adults and write an essay.\nSamuel Kullens, the decathlon coach and a social science teacher at Franklin, expressed \u201cimmense pride\u201d in the team and said the students showed the brains, character and work ethic to succeed in college and in life. Mr. Kullens also pointed out that the top two teams, El Camino Real Charter School in Woodland Hills and Granada Hills Charter School, are far larger than Franklin, and, along with the third place winner, South Pasadena High School, are in more affluent areas with better-resourced schools. \u201cTo take fourth place in the entire state shows that with hard work and dedication, you can do a lot in this world,\u201d he said.\nLora Tindall Wagner (left) and Helen Vincent (right), teachers at the San Pascual STEAM Magnet school in Highland Park, won top honors last month at the Area IX Delta Kappa Gamma Society International Luncheon at the Knollwood Country Club in Granada Hills.\nThe Delta Kappa Gamma Society is a professional honor society of women educators who focus on leadership development and excellence in education.\nMs. Wagner, a graduate student who is completing her student teaching at San Pascual STEAM Magnet, was named \u201cOutstanding Student Teacher.\u201d She was nominated by her master teacher, Josephine Yadegar.\nHelen Vincent was given the \u201cOutstanding Member\u201d award by her colleagues in the Gamma Lambda chapter, which was founded in Eagle Rock in 1955.

        "raw_content": "2019 Editions Featured February Front Page More News News\nElection Comes at a Critical Time\nby T.A. Hendrickson\nEvery election is important. But the special election on March 5 for Los Angeles school board is especially important to Northeast L.A.\nAt stake is the open seat to represent Board District 5, which includes NELA. The person who fills the seat will take on the usual, complex array of school-board issues, including allocating funds, setting standards for teachers and ensuring the health and safety of students.\nBut in addition to all that, the winner will become the swing vote on the L.A. school board, which is currently split, 3-3, between members with predominantly charter-school backing and those with predominantly union backing.\nThe role of charter schools \u2013 which are publicly funded but privately run and generally non-union \u2013 emerged as a major issue in the teacher strike in January. The teachers union contends that charter schools unfairly drain needed resources from the system. Charter school advocates say that charter schools give parents options they need to get the best education for their children.\nTo end the strike, Austin Beutner, the superintendent of L.A. schools and a charter-school supporter, agreed to back a resolution calling on the state to put a halt to new charter schools while studying their impact. Advocates for charter schools pushed to defeat the resolution, but the school board passed it in late January.\nAgainst that backdrop, 10 candidates are running to fill the seat for Board District 5. If no candidate wins more than half the vote on Mar. 5, a runoff will be held between the top two candidates on May 14.\nHelping voters to make up their minds\nTo help voters make informed decisions, a nonpartisan forum featuring the candidates will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 13 at Eagle Rock Elementary (2057 Fair Park Ave.) from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.\nEntitled the \u201cNortheast Candidate Forum,\u201d the event will be sponsored in part by the United Way of Greater Los Angeles as well as the Alliance for A Better Community, a nonprofit group that adovates for laws and policies to promote the prosperity of the Latino and L.A. community. Translation, child care and food will be provided. To register, visit: lausd5.eventbrite.com.\nThe Boulevard Sentinel has also created a candidate forum. In January, we reached out to the candidates, asking each one the same four questions:\nIf elected, what would be your top priority on the School Board?\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you assign yourself and why?\nPlease list other aspects of your candidacy that you think readers of the Boulevard Sentinel should know.\nNine candidates responded. Only one candidate, Allison Greenwood Bajracharya, a charter school executive, did not participate.\nThe candidates are presented here in alphabetical order with photos they provided.\nHere are the answers we received:\nI am running because as a Central American immigrant and poor child who didn\u2019t speak English, my public school was a safe haven. I benefited from free school lunch, after-school programs and a caseworker who took me and my sister to medical appointments when my mom had to work. Because of my experience, I am uniquely positioned to understand the transformative power of education. I overcame many obstacles, yet graduated with highest honors from UC Berkeley, Princeton (Master\u2019s degree) and USC (an MBA).\nMy top priority: I will hold the bureaucracy accountable through transparency in budget documents and processes. I will fight to empower teachers and parents to transform reading and writing in elementary grades and to increase the number of English-language learners who achieve full English proficiency. I will ensure that high schools empower students to go to college.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? I am an independent candidate that will fight for what is right for children. I am too intelligent and well educated to blindly follow one ideology versus another.\nMore info: I will address the inequities between schools in low- and high-income areas. I will advocate for higher per-pupil spending from the State, increase after-school programs, and resources to schools most in need. [I will] empower teachers and staff through professional development and promotional opportunities.\nI am running because I believe my experience and passion for helping students will be a steadying force on a Board that continues to face turmoil. My knowledge of the budget as well as my relationship with ALL stakeholders will allow me to hit the ground running.\nMy top priority: I will bring stability and leadership to LAUSD and will fight to keep public schools truly public and welcoming to ALL students.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? Two. I am fully committed to reforming charter schools and ensuring they are held accountable. It is essential that all LAUSD schools follow the same standards of transparency and accountability when it comes to disclosing how public money is being spent. It is time for the state legislature to review and reform Charter legislation so that charter schools do not undermine public school funding.\nMore info: From teaching for 16 years in Compton, through my leadership on the LAUSD School Board, L.A. City Council, and California State Assembly, I have always been a champion of quality public education and a fighter to end poverty. I have led the way on landmark policies, including the Living Wage Ordinance and the City\u2019s Targeted Local Hiring Program, working with others to fight for all our children.\nI am running because because I believe that every child deserves a quality public education. I believe that we need educators and not career politicians on our board. As an educator for over 17 years in this district I know what systems need to change to improve the educational outcomes of our students.\nMy top priority: Protect public education / Resources to school / Equity / Autonomy over budgets, curriculum and assessment / Advocate for state funding / Focus on instruction, mental health, and community schools.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? I support a moratorium (4). We need to address the inequities that charter schools have created in our educational system. Hyper competition should not exist in our schools. I am for families and communities and for ensuring that \u201call schools\u201d serve \u201call students.\u201d\nMore info: I am a product, parent and principal of LAUSD. I have two master\u2019s degrees in education and a doctorate degree in educational leadership, all from UCLA. I have the experience and knowledge to lead and have a proven track record of success in some of our most disenfranchised communities. When it comes to social justice, I am the real deal.\nGraciela \u201cGrace\u201d Ortiz\nI am running because the next school board member must truly understand the needs of our children, our schools and the LAUSD system. I understand these needs through my experience as a LAUSD student, LAUSD school counselor and community leader within Board District 5. Every community and every school has different needs and I am ready to work hand in hand with each community to address these needs.\nMy top priority: I will fight to reduce class sizes, increase funding to schools, increase resources to students with special needs and ensure safety in all schools.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? [Editor\u2019s Note: Candidate declined to answer.]\nMore info: Growing up, I went to LAUSD schools and was the first in my family to attend college. I have a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Sociology from UCLA and a Master\u2019s Degree in Social Work from Cal State Long Beach. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have dedicated 12 years of my life to the amazing students of LAUSD as a Pupil Services and Attendance Counselor. I have been a politically active United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) member in those 12 years as well.\nI am running because I am a proud product of public education, the daughter of a public school teacher, and an LAUSD mom. Our public schools deserve a champion who has real skin in the game and experience working in local government to get the job done for our kids and families.\nMy top priority: Putting more resources in schools and empowering parents, students, and school staff to create great schools in all of our neighborhoods.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? All charter schools need to be held to the same high standard as district schools and underperforming charters should be shut down. I am not accepting any contributions from charter schools and will take an independent, unbiased assessment of all charters when I am on the board.\nMore info: I have been in the classroom and have worked in local government for over 18 years. I\u2019m proud to be endorsed by Mayor Garcetti, LAUSD\u2019s education workers including teaching assistants, bus drivers, and custodians, firefighters and over a hundred community leaders. If elected, I would be the only parent of an LAUSD student on the board and would bring new ideas and experience in getting things done to our School Board.\nRoc\u00edo Rivas\nI am running because I feel a moral obligation and personal responsibility to defend our public schools from further privatization. I am running for ethical democratic public institutions, civil rights, and the regulation of the charter school network industry. I am bilingual with a plethora of knowledge, experience, skills and community activism to represent District 5.\nMy top priority: A moratorium on charter schools to analyze and ameliorate the impact of privatization on our public schools and neighborhoods; increase per-pupil-funding, evaluate low-performing schools to identify areas of improvement to provide required resources.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? 4/5. The impetus to privatize public education finds expression in \u201ceducational/school choice,\u201d which has come with a grave price to the health of our neighborhood public schools and institutionally debilitated LAUSD. The charter school network industry requires strong policy for strong oversight, regulation, fraud/self-dealing detection, elimination of student exclusionary practices, transparent policy on school closures, to name a few.\nMore info: I have a PhD. from Teachers College, Columbia University in Comparative and International Education; experience as an educational researcher and program evaluator internationally and in the states; worked for LAUSD as a researcher and community representative. I am a mother to a wonderful boy who attends Rockdale VAPA Magnet in Eagle Rock.\nSalvador \u201cChamba\u201d Sanchez\nI am running because because I believe in the promise of public education. Because this community fulfilled that promise to me. We have a crisis in public education. Our students are not learning. Failing schools are pipelines to prisons. I believe education is the civil rights issue of our time and want to use my story to inspire immigrant and poor children in this district. I will protect public education from privatization and make decisions solely in the best interest of children.\nMy top priority: Per-pupil funding is inadequate. I will use the powers of the office to bring in more revenue; use the ballot box for a parcel tax and make the case in Sacramento for more investment.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? Charter schools could play a role in public education. I will not support replacing all traditional schools with charters. That will not be good for our students and community.\nMore info: I have dedicated my life to my community, as a union organizer and a professor at community colleges. Involvement by parents must [be expanded] to give them real authority in district-level decisions. I will advocate to let non-citizen parents vote in school board elections. I will call for [district-wide] summits, with all stakeholders, to identify and engage the causes of chronic absenteeism.\nI am running because of a passion for youth development and helping students achieve success through the opportunities afforded them through public education. As a product of LAUSD public schools, I am ready to lead a district that is 90% Latino and resembles the working-class families that parallel my own journey in education.\nMy top priority will be to protect public education as a staple of our democracy, ensuring that all students have access to quality education. In order to achieve this, I will advocate for increased funding at the State legislature through ballot measures aimed at improving our investment in California per-pupil spending.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? My rating would be \u201c2\u201d because we need to remain in full support of public education and the labor unions that help protect our workforce. To this effect, I would be in favor of voting on a moratorium to end Charter School expansion.\nMore info: I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale University and a Master\u2019s in Fine Arts. For three years, I served as an L.A. County Arts Commissioner and it is my background as an artist that would allow me to bring a bold perspective to the challenges facing the district. My platform is: I support our teachers /Cap classroom sizes/Increase California per pupil spending / Restore arts programs.\nNestor Enrique Valencia\nI am running to represent children and parents, and to hold LAUSD and everyone accountable to the community and taxpayers. I don\u2019t represent any special interests. I only have the best interest of the children and the communities in mind.\nMy top priority: My priorities are financial sustainability like I did in the city of Bell, expand access to early childhood education, invest in our classrooms, protect funding for arts and music in school, and listen to our professional teachers and educators.\nOn a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with no charter schools\u201d and 10 being \u201cL.A. would be better off with only charter schools,\u201d what number would you give yourself and why? 5 [Editor\u2019s note: The candidate did not elaborate.]\nMore info: I will be the best role model for our youth and an exemplary public servant. As we did in Bell, I will protect the integrity of good government and transparency. As Mayor, I implemented progressive and family focused policies. I will take my experiences in my professional career, in the classroom, in public service and as a parent elected-representative to the school board and implement best practices for public education.",

        "raw_content": "Quick Cycling Cycle Tips for Beginners \u2013 by Claudia Franco\nbicycle, bike, bike riding, cycle tour, cycling trip, pedal\nWhen someone talks about a trip around the world, invariably almost nobody thinks about using a bicycle, right? But the bike can take you to many places. And you do not have to be a professional athlete to pedal from the streets of your neighborhood and get to the roads in China!\nIt may seem scary to feed the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing the very engine of a seemingly fragile and uncomfortable vehicle that will carry you for miles. But those who have traveled by bicycle guarantee that it is the coolest way to enjoy nature and all the places that go by, besides, it is ecologically correct and a great way to keep your body and mind in shape!Fortunately, traveling by bicycle is not so difficult and you will have to venture out without knowing much about it. There is a lot of information, resources, publications, courses and even operators specialized in the subject. Just search and plan.\nTo Get You Started, Here Are Some Tips You Need To Consider:\n1- How much time do you have? You will easily find many blogs and websites that will tell you about cycling trips around the world. But of course few people have the time and resources for an adventure like this. Find out that there are numerous options for short trips, can be from a month, a few weeks or even a weekend. As with any other trip you need to make sure that the time you have is enough for the desired route, if not, review the route.\n2- Where do you want to travel? First choose a destination. In Brazil there are numerous route options for cycle routes. There are plenty of maps, organized routes, groups that organize guided tours, because for many years cycling in Brazil has been practiced. Due to the abundance of options you only have to choose a circuit appropriate to your experience with riding a bike and also with your fitness. It is very important to consider the weather conditions of the time of the year in the region to which you want to travel.\n3- What kind of course do you want to go? It is important to note the type of course you will find in your cycle path. Pedaling for 70 kilometers of dirt track is very different from riding on asphalt roads. If you are not used to pedaling for long distances, start a training before your trip. It is important to be in good health and well conditioned. Strength training and cardiorespiratory training will be very helpful. No matter what your age, just train, prepare and during the trip respect your pedaling pace. Plan the distances to be traveled according to your physical capacity. Of course, during the trip, your conditioning will try to get better and better, and the pleasure of cycling through breathtaking landscapes will ease the discomfort and wear that you may have.\n4- Hotels, hostels or camping? If you are planning your first bike trip, I recommend that you plan the accommodation in hotels or hostels. Camping on a first cycle tour can be a lot more laborious and exhausting due to inexperience, you will have to worry about much more detail, with bigger luggage and fundamental items like food.\n5- What to take on a cycle tour? The definition of the items to be loaded with you will depend on the type of cycling you will do. If you are going to make a self-sufficient trip or if you have a support car, if you stay in a hostel / hotel or if you go camping, that is, what to take depends on the circumstances of your trip.\n6- How much does your luggage weigh? It depends on how you will cycle your bike. It is important to remember that the more items you carry the more weight you will carry, the bike engine is yourself. Make sure that your bike carries the weight of the luggage and that you will carry the weight of the luggage plus the weight of the bicycle. That is why if you are a beginner it is better to start practicing staying in inns or hotels, which will reduce the luggage substantially. Another tip is to go through a route where there is easy access to food and liquids, so your food and water supply may be only for a few hours, or less mileage, because along the way you will get food and liquids. In pre-trip training, include your luggage, do workouts carrying the same weight as you will take in your cycling. This will help you determine how much weight you are willing to carry during the trip.\n7- How is your bike riding technique and your knowledge of emergency mechanics? No one needs to be a professional rider, but it is important to have a thorough bike riding technique, whether your bike ride is by asphalt road or dirt tracks. Each situation demands a good knowledge of the rider to avoid unwanted situations especially if you are planning to travel alone. In addition, knowing a little basic mechanics is also important, for example: know how to change a tire camera, fix a chain, adjust a brake or gearbox.\n8- Visit a store. After planning the cycling visit specialized stores for the purchase of items suitable for travel. Do not skimp! Nothing worse than a luggage rack or saddlebag falling off the bike or a headlamp that does not light enough. Talk to experts, with store professionals, with other cyclists who frequently practice bicycle riding.\nBoston Medical Center May Prescribe Recipes For Cycling\nAn interesting program called \"Prescribe-a-Bike\" was recently launched in Boston, which allows doctors at Boston Medical Center to prescribe recipes that allow patients to be entered into the city's public bicycle system for only $ 5 a year (the regular cost Is $ 80 per year). The requirements are: to be a resident, to be over 16 years of age, to receive some type of public assistance\u2026",

The latest Nanos federal ballot tracking has the Liberals at 40.9 per cent support, followed by the Conservatives at 30.7 per cent, the NDP at 19.5 percent, the Bloc Quebecois at 3.7 per cent and the Greens at 4.8 per cent.\nAsked whether they would consider voting for each of the federal parties, 57.3 per cent of Canadians say they would consider voting Liberal while 45.8 per cent would consider voting Conservative.\nFour in 10 Canadians (42.2%) would consider voting NDP while 24 per cent and 28.7 per cent of Canadians would consider voting for the BQ and Green parties, respectively.\nNanos tracking has Liberal Party Leader Justin Trudeau as the preferred choice as Prime Minister at 45.6 per cent of Canadians followed by Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer (20.3%), NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh (9%) and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May (4.1%). Twenty per cent of Canadians were unsure who they preferred.\nALSO READ: What\u2019s wrong with ethnic marketing?\nTwo in three Canadians (65.6%) believe Trudeau has the qualities of a good political leader, while 37.5 per cent believe Scheer has the qualities of a good political leader. Four in 10 Canadians (39.5%) say Jagmeet Singh has the qualities of a good political leader, while 37.9 per cent believe the same about May. One in four (27.7%) say BQ Leader Martine Ouellet has the qualities of a good political leader (Quebec only).\nWith Conservative leader Andrew Scheer and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh failing to make a connection and impact with Canadians, it seems likely that the Liberals headed by PM Justin Trudeau will have a second term by default.\nnever trust the polls",

        "raw_content": "Tax legislation continued to move forward in the House during the second quarter of 2014 but appeared to stall in the Senate. The House passed bills to make permanent the research tax credit, Code Sec. 179 enhanced small business expensing, and some tax incentives for S corporations. However, the Obama administration expressed its opposition to the House bills because they were not offset and would add to the federal budget deficit. Senate leaders were expected to bring a tax extenders bill before the full chamber (the EXPIRE Act) but did not before the July 4 recess. The Senate Finance Committee also considered a highway funding bill (the PATH Act), which included some pension-related tax provisions. President Obama signaled his support for the highway bill and for paying for highway funding by closing unspecified corporate loopholes. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 15, April 10, 2014; CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 23, June 5, 2014; CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 25, June 19, 2014.\nIn June, after several years of discussion, the IRS adopted a Taxpayer Bill of Rights. The IRS also updated Publication 1, Your Rights as a Taxpayer, to reflect the newly-adopted Taxpayer Bill of Rights. Both steps were taken to educate taxpayers about their rights before the agency, such as the right to confidentiality. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 25, June 19, 2014.\nFATCA/FBAR\nThe U.S. Treasury Department announced in April that jurisdictions that have reached intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) in substance with the U.S. can be treated as having agreements in effect under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). This will enable foreign financial institutions (FFIs) to timely register with the IRS, based on their expected IGA status. The U.S. has negotiated IGAs with more than 90 jurisdictions. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 15, April 10, 2014; CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 27, July 3, 2014.\nIn May, a jury in a federal district court found a taxpayer liable for civil penalties for willfully failing to file required Reports of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBARs) ( Zwerner, DC-Fla., May 28, 2014). At that time, the U.S. Department of Justice reported that the taxpayer faced a maximum 50-percent penalty of the balance in his unreported bank account for each of the three years at issue. The balance of the bank account during each of those years exceeded $1.4 million, DOJ added. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 23, June 5, 2014.\nIn June, the IRS expanded streamlined procedures and made other changes to the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program (OVDP), while tightening some requirements and increasing penalties for intentional tax violations. Generally, the IRS removed the requirement that taxpayers owe $1,500 or less in taxes per year. Instead of filling out a risk questionnaire, taxpayers will attest (self-certify) that their previous noncompliance was due to non-willful conduct. The IRS will review their circumstances to ascertain their lack of intent. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 26, June 26, 2014.\nIn a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held in June that funds from an inherited IRA are not \u201cretirement funds\u201d exempt from the debtor\u2019s bankruptcy estate ( Clark, SCt., June 12, 2014). The decision resolves a split among the Circuits. In 2012, the Fifth Circuit found that inherited IRAs are retirement funds protected from the reach of creditors. The Seventh Circuit reached the opposite conclusion in 2013. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 25, June 19, 2014.\nIn April, the Tax Court reminded taxpayers that IRS\u2019s published guidance is not binding precedent ( Bobrow, TC Memo. 2014-21). Previously, the court held that a taxpayer could make only one nontaxable rollover contribution within each one-year period regardless of how many IRAs the taxpayer maintained. In a motion for reconsideration, the taxpayers unsuccessfully argued that the court\u2019s interpretation of Code Sec. 408(d)(3)(B) was inconsistent with the IRS\u2019s published guidance. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 17, April 24, 2014.\nThe IRS reported in June that the number of returns paying alternative minimum tax (AMT) more than tripled from 1.1 million to 4.2 million for 2011, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Individual taxpayers filed 145.4 million tax returns fin 2011. Adjusted gross income on taxable returns increased 6.2 percent to $7.69 trillion, while total income tax increased 9.9 percent to $1.05 trillion. The IRS also reported that taxpayers used $73.6 billion of tax credits in 2011. This represented a decrease of 35.2 percent from the $113.6 billion of credits claimed in 2010, due to the expiration of the Making Work Pay Credit, the IRS explained. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 24, June 12, 2014.\nFinal and temporary regulations issued in June make the election to compute the Code Sec. 41 research tax credit using the alternative simplified credit (ASC) more taxpayer-friendly. The IRS announced that taxpayers may elect the ASC on amended returns in cases where no credit had been claimed in those respective tax years. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 24, June 12, 2014.\nThe IRS issued guidance on the application of E.S. Windsor, SCt., June 26, 2013, which struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), to qualified retirement plans. The IRS did not require retroactive recognition of same-sex marriages before June 26, 2013. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 15, April 10, 2014.\nThe IRS provided guidance to safe harbor 401(k) and 401(m) plans on plan amendments reflecting the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s decision in Windsor. A mid-year plan amendment to comply with Windsor will not affect a plan\u2019s safe harbor status, the IRS explained. Generally, safe harbor 401(k) plans must remain in effect for an entire 12-month plan period and cannot be amended mid-year, subject to some exceptions. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 22, May 21, 2014.\nThe IRS announced in May the annual inflation adjustments for limits on deductible contributions to health savings accounts (HSAs) for the 2015 calendar year. The IRS also included the inflation adjusted limits on annual deductibles for purposes of defining a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). The 2015 annual limitation on deductible contributions under Code Sec. 223(b)(2)(A) for an individual with self-only coverage under an HDHP is $3,350, up from $3,300 for 2014. For an individual with family coverage for 2015, the annual limitation is $6,650, up from $6,550 for 2014. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 18, May 1, 2014.\nThe IRS issued final regulations in May for determining which estate and trust expenses may escape the two percent floor on deducting miscellaneous itemized deductions. The regulations also describe the treatment of bundled expenses that must be allocated between fully deductible expenses and expenses subject to the floor. The final regulations reflect the Supreme Court\u2019s analysis in Michael J. Knight, Trustee of William L. Rudkin Testamentary Trust, SCt., January 16, 2008, CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 20, May 15, 2014.\nFinal regulations issued in May describe how a Health Insurance Marketplace (formerly known as an Exchange) created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will report information about the Code Sec. 36B premium assistance tax credit to the IRS. Individuals who obtain health insurance through the Marketplace may be eligible to offset the cost of coverage with the Code Sec. 36B credit. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 19, May 8, 2014.\nIn June, IRS clarified that one month is the maximum allowed length of any employment orientation period under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act\u2019s 90-day waiting period limitation for coverage. The one-month maximum is intended to prevent abuse, the agencies explained. The final regulations generally apply to group health plans and health insurance issuers for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2015. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 26, June 26, 2014.\nIRS summonses\nThe Supreme Court announced in June that a taxpayer has a right to conduct an examination of IRS officials regarding their reasons for issuing a summons when the taxpayer points to specific facts or circumstances plausibly raising an inference of bad faith ( Clarke, SCt., June 19, 2014). The Supreme Court emphasized that a taxpayer cannot offer just naked allegations, but must offer some credible evidence to support the claim of improper motive on the part of the government. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 26, June 26, 2014.\nIn June, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) warned that the IRS needs to significantly improve its oversight of alimony deductions claimed by individuals. TIGTA estimated the alimony compliance gap could reach $2.3 billion based on its review of recent tax years. TIGTA reviewed more than 500,000 TY 2010 returns and discovered 47 percent that claimed an alimony deduction but for which the corresponding income was either not reported on a recipient\u2019s return or the amount of alimony income reported did not agree with the deduction. CCH Federal Tax Weekly No. 21, May 22, 2014.\nIf you have any questions about these or other federal tax developments, please contact our office.\nBy Chris Reino|Friday, July 18, 2014|Uncategorized|0 Comments",

        "raw_content": "Sunday Afternoon Thinking Project: Internet Tricknology--Is Jay Z's Video \"On To The Next One\" Satanic? Is Jay to the Z a Member of the Illuminati?\nI don't know if Hova worships the dark prince, but this is one hell of a video.\nI am a connoiseurr of conspiracy theories (I am very excited about Jesse the Body Ventura's new series by the way). As Gordon goofs on me often, I still do not believe that NASA went to the moon...or alternatively we arrived there and were told to leave. I also don't by the official story about 9/11. But, the idea that On to the Next One is full of satanic/Illuminati/Masonic imagery (the imprecise, and in some ways contradictory nature of the claims give away their thinness) does not sound persuasive to my ear.\nSecond random question: for those in the know, given his success maybe The Boule recruited Sean Carter after his rise to elite celebrity status?\nNow, that is not to say that some interesting work cannot be done in analyzing these visuals. Personal note: start making notes on the video to write an article on the politics of its aesthetic conventions. What do you all see in this video? What is the symbolism? I see a combination of black and white surrealism, Rorschach test imagery, a wink to said character in Watchmen, and no small amount of borrowing from my queen J-Lo's underappreciated classic The Cell.\nIs the following annotation of the video correct? Send in your detailed commentaries. I would love to feature the best one, and perhaps there is a prize in it for you critical sorts counting down the days until your winter vacation ends.\nChauncey, I agree that the argument is pretty weak. I would say that the video says more about the director than the artist. Rorschach is obvious, agree about borrowing from The Cell (I haven't seen that movie in years).\nIn addition, the guy with the tattoo on his chest looks like a young Marilyn Manson. The pair of lips look like a tamer version of the TrueBlood ads. The man with the white make-up actually looks like he was a reject from Godsmack's Voodoo video (probably for being too clean looking-or cause he's white). I don't understand how the ballerina represents a Knight Templar. Instead she is reminiscent of a Zhang Ziyi type character from Kung-fu movies (Hero, Crouching Tiger, House of Flying Daggers, etc). The white paint/milk (and the moving wires) remind me of Royksopp's \"What Else is There?\" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADBKdSCbmiM). The oil looks like a less sexual version of Shakira's \"La Tortura\".\nWhat I was left wondering about was the constant reference to 3; 3 fingers, 3 scratches, 3 bullets, etc. Any thoughts on that?\nOh, and I also don't believe that we landed on the moon. And I'm only half sold on the official 9/11 story.\nYou know that funny thing I thought was at the end of the video, add a small platoon of dogfaced Russian soldiers shooting down everything in sight in about 15 seconds. Then they radio back to HQ, 'mission accomplished, what's next?'.\nIt could be Iranians or Australians or basically any country with a regular army, but I like the idea of somewhat bored but competent soldiers.\n@pandora..\noff the top of my head.. could the constant reference to '3' be because this is Blueprint number 3?.\nI see it as a brilliant branding concept. So you don't forget, this is a series.\nThat would make sense. I didn't even think about what album it was off of. thnx\nthe car wheel close up is interesting.. there are 10 spokes.. 10 is a very powerful number... could be here all day but this link provides a good summary... 'pick one'..\nhttp://www.ridingthebeast.com/numbers/nu10.php\noh and the jaguar aka the panther is the largest 'cat' in the americas.. and the largest feline predator in the west.. after the lion and the tiger.. of course\nthe jaguar is also a very powerful symbol...\nMarcus DeMaur said...\nWow, I didn't think that there were still people alive who don't understand that we landed on the Moon... six times.\n@Pandora: Good catch on the True Blood reference. On the moon landings, I am on the fence. The point that most befuddles me is that in 2012 (or so)we are supposed to return to the moon once more. It is being sold as some near impossible task that will involve new technology, etc. etc. Assuming the U.S. went to the moon as advertised in the 1960s and 1970s with now decades old technology, why the hell is this so difficult now? Thus my gut that 1) we went and were told to leave by powers unknown or 2) the US and other planets have established bases on the Moon and have never left. For what reason? What are they doing? That is the question.\n@Cobb--sounds like you have a 2nd career as a video editor or script writer.\n@soul--blueprint 3 and a diamond has 3 sides. 3 is also a powerful number in numberology--i.e. the idea of a \"trinity\" of forces.\n@marci--do you think this is by accident? or is it smart marketing to get folks talking about the layered meanings of the video? is is something more sinister?\n@Marcus--see my first response. We also live in a world of open secrets. There are so many \"conspiracies\" that folks laughed at initially--the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, the CIA's connection to crack cocaine importation--as well as heroin during the vietnam war, the lie that was the Gulf of Tonkin incident, the massaging of intelligence prior to the Iraq War, etc. etc. etc.--which later turned out to be true. Just something to think about.\n@Chauncey: Don't tell Buzz Aldrin that you don't believe in the Moon Landings. :P\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOo6aHSY8hU\nSeriously though - I think it's really interesting that Jay-Z has been tagged by some people as being either masonic and/or satanic.\nI also think it's really interesting that people lump the Masons, satanists and the Illuminati together.\nI guess it just goes to show you that what goes on behind closed doors generally scares/fascinates the hell out of people (e.g. Dan Brown).\nHonestly, Jay-Z is an extremely smart and savvy businessman. So I'm sure he knows that a little controversy always sells records.\nBut, removing the monetary factor, I think you could be seeing something similar to what happened with Heavy Metal.\nLong before the PMRC fiascos of the 1980s, Heavy Metal bands of the early 1970s (like Black Sabbath, Lucifer's Friend, etc.) attached their music to \"left hand path\" imagery because it allowed them to break away from an increasily irrelevant Hippie movement (which was in it's death throes after Altamont). Plus, it matched their musical styles (which were generally heavy, dark and politically charged). The fact that it pissed off parents was a bonus.\nI think the same thing is at play here. Jay-Z is adopting severe imagry to show that he is \"heavy\" and relavent. And he's also putting a line in the sand to further seperate him from artists like T-Pain, who use Auto-tune to excess. And, of course, the fact that it pisses off parents is a added bonus. :)\n@ chauncey..\na happy new year to you...\nmarketing genius.. plain and simple..\ndon't know why the symbolism of the wheel stuck..\nit could be a bluff. or it could be a double bluff...\ni have freemasons in the family, i know modern witches, hell i even know a female priest..\ni listen, i read, my mind is fairly open in so much as i respect views unless they are glaringly stupid..\nmy mother always says...half the power is in the belief... no smoke without fire.. etc etc..\ni am wondering why jz (apparently) is taking his wife's surname.. that intrigues me so much more..\nNot sure if this is relevant, but three parallel lines is an ideogram for \"identity\" - \"a similarity so strong that there is no real difference\".\nhttp://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/10/1011.html\n@chauncey, A triangle has 3 sides, so does toblerone chocolate.\n@bill..\nI think people are severely lazy and would rather believe that luck and voodoo or deals with the devil make you successful because they are not.\nThere are a million Jay-Z's out there in the hood. The difference between them and jay could be a variety of things but one of the most important things would be skill.\nTalent might come naturally, but you have to work at skill.\nForget wanting to die for something..\nWhat are you willing to LIVE for. people die for something everyday.\nAs gangsta as Jay apparently is, when do you ever hear about him getting messed up in some gun BS.\nDiddy had the opp to be bigger than Jay Z, but he lacked bigger vision and dude is has incredibly vision, but he couldn't see himself playing the grown up game, thats why he is on youtube still trying to be relevant to 'the kids'.\nOver the years and ocer time despite whatever you hard about Jay-Z, good or bad, onething you also heard about him was his work ethic.\nNow it is paying off, people want to act like it is some free gift.\nwow!. The mind blows.\n@Bill the Lizard--always on the job!\n@Soul--I feel validated that jay is my favorite emcee of the current crop...i too admire his hustle and skill. the business acumen is a result of his effort which is why i always buy his music and see him in concert when i can.\n@chauncey..\nthen why the goobledigook about 'open secrets' and such.\nthats why i said a toblerone choc and a triangle also have 3 sides. what does it matter?\nDiamonds do not have 3 sides. If you ever find a 3sided diamond I will personally give you $1000, I don't care how small or large th diamond is.\nIf you find one I'll pay you the money. No questions asked. my blog link is on my user ID. If you need to find me with proof.",

Abundant water, food and shelter give rise to one of Africa's healthiest elephant populations, vast herds of buffalo, prides of lion, leopards, hyenas, jackals, hippos, crocodile, zebra, various small carnivores and omnivores, antelope and over 400 species of birds.\nAlthough Africa is no stranger to conservation challenges such as encroachment and poaching, the Lower Zambezi National Park is one of Africa's best protected sanctuaries thanks to cooperation between the safari operators and Zambia Wildlife Authority through the charity Conservation Lower Zambezi (which Grant co-founded in 1994) and of which Chiawa Camp and Old Mondoro are anchor donors.\nAs a consequence, the Lower Zambezi will nearly always produce a first rate game viewing and birding experience, most especially when measured in the context of the scenery, habitat and variety of Zambezi safari activities available.\nAbsent from the Lower Zambezi are giraffe and wildebeest which never occurred here. Occasional wild dog sightings are experienced as these come and go (April/May and Sept/Oct are the best times to see them if you will) and no rhinos can be seen, which were poached out in the 1970's.\nWhat makes wildlife viewing extra special in the Lower Zambezi is the opportunity to watch many of these creatures often at close quarters from, in and around the river.\nComprehensive printer-friendly mammal and bird checklists are available via the links below.",

        "raw_content": "There are three series of maps that cover the entire country: SHOCart, Kartografie and K\u010cT. Each has its pros and cons, but they are all reasonably detailed, accurate and usable. All three, of course, show the official numbered cycle routes and indicate the surface quality of each section. In addition, they all have English legends and show tourist information (restaurants, hotels, campsites, etc.), suggested routes (including elevation profiles) and distances in km between points. And they all come in a plastic sleeve to keep the rain off.\nMy favourite cycling maps are published by SHOCart. These are the maps I\u2019ll be using for my cycle ride around the Czech border over the next couple of years.\nSHOCart map layout...\n...and SHOCart map\nSHOCart publishes a series of 170 cycling maps at 1:60,000 scale. They typically cost 99 Czech crowns (CZK) each. They look good, have a high quality feel and fold up smaller than the other series described below. The map legend is in Czech, English, German and Polish. The company also issues a spiral-bound cycling atlas of the entire country as well as an excellent loose-leaf A4 ring-binder edition. Most usefully of all, an interactive version is available in English on-line free of charge.\nThe second series (160 maps, 1:70,000 scale, around CZK 85 each, legend in Czech, English and German) is published by Kartografie. Like the SHOCart ones, these maps are updated fairly regularly and are accurate enough. They traditionally come with an orange cover, but more recent additions to the range are blue.\nKartografie maps - original style...\n...and new style\nThe third series is produced by K\u010cT \u2013 the Czech Tourists\u2019 Club (28 maps, 1:100,000, CZK 109, legend in Czech, English, German and Polish).\nK\u010cT map\nI\u2019m not so keen on the K\u010cT maps. They have a smaller scale than the other two series and I find them less easy to read. In my experience they are also updated less frequently. This is quite a big issue, as the Czech cycle route network is expanding apace and alters significantly from year to year. On the other hand, each map comes with a booklet containing a large number of suggested routes and other information (in Czech only).\nThe three series described above are the only ones covering the whole of the country. Selected tourist areas are covered by maps produced by \u017daket (1:65,000, CZK 65, allegedly printed on waterproof paper) and Wander (1:75,000, CZK 59), but I have no experience of using either. There are also various guidebooks available for specific routes or areas (published, for example, by Freytag & Berndt and Esterbauer), but I\u2019m not aware of any in English.\nWalking maps can also be useful, especially for mountain bikers. K\u010cT, SHOCart, Kartografie and Kompass all issue 1:50,000-scale maps showing cycle trails.\nWhere can you get hold of these maps? If you are in the Czech Republic you\u2019ll find them in most bookshops and in many bike shops, petrol stations and large supermarkets. You can also buy the SHOCart and K\u010cT maps on-line from Freytag & Berndt.",

        "raw_content": "From the Romans to modern time\nBarcelona has approximately 3 million inhabitants (1,6 million inhabitants in the city centre), and is located in the Western part of the Mediterranean Sea. The city was founded by the Romans 12 BC, but it is not until the late Middle Ages that the city starts to grow and to be an important city in the Mediterranean area.\nIn the 13th and 14th century, Barcelona began its heyday as capital of the Kingdom of Aragon-Catalonia, and the Kingdom took a dominant role in Europe. In recent times, the city and the region around it (Catalonia) has experienced a \"renaissance\", triggered by the World Expositions (1888 and 1929) and the Olympic Games held in Barcelona in 1992.\nBarcelona today - beach area and the Olympic Port. This part of the city was greatly changed for the Olympics in 1992\nFor visitors, Barcelona is a marvellous city and has much to offer: the city's history comes alive in the many museums in the city centre (Museum of the history of the city) and its Gothic Quarter. But we also recommend to see the citys modern architecture.\n- Read more about our Walking Tour in the Gothic Quarter\n- Read more about our Modern Architecture Tour\nMoreover, Barcelonas has both beaches and mountains. For the gastronomy lovers, Barcelonas has many gourmet restaurants - many excellent restarants with 1, 2 and 3 Michelin Stars - but you can also find a great variety of less expensive restaurants where you can 3-dish meal for just around 10-12 \u20ac including a drink. Barcelona's many offers to tourists is one of the main explanations for the city's popularity today.\nJust outside Barcelona, you will be able to visit a wide variety of beautiful wine regions with many different types of wines. The Penedes region, 45 minutes' drive west from Barcelona, is known for its many excellent cava producers, as well as the world known winery Bodegas Torres. Alella is a tiny wine region less than 30 minutes' drive north of Barcelona that produce high quality cava and white wine. And in Priorat and Montsant, you will be able to taste some of Spain's very best red wine.\n- Read more about our Wine & Gastronomy Tour\nThe Gothic Quarter in Barcelona\nFrom the world fairs to the Olympic Games\nOne of the reasons why Barcelona had such great success organizing the Olympic Games is thatthe city had celebrated huge events several times over the last hundred years, including the two world exhibition in Barcelona, respectively the one in 1888 and in 1929.\nPlaza Espa\u00f1a was changed for the second world exhibition in Barcelona, held in 1929. In the image you can see the National Palace and the Magic Fountain\nDuring the first world exhibition held in 1888, a new architecture, modernism (modernismo in Spanish and Moderisme in Catalan) had its break through. The most well known architect of the movement is Antoni Gaud\u00ed, but there are more than hundred architects working along the same line from 1888 to the 1920\u2019s.\n- Read more about our Antoni Gaud\u00ed's Architecture and his time\nWith the second World's Fair in 1929, the monumental area below the Montju\u00efc mountain, was building. Among the most important monuments from this period is The National Palace (which is today's Museu Nacional d'Arquitectura de Catalunya).\nAntoni Gaud\u00ed's Casa Batll\u00f3 in Barcelona, here with evening lights.\nIn 1992 Barcelona held the first Olympic games in Spain ever. The infrastructure, highways, homes (more than 10,000!) were built and the beach area was renovated.\nThe hotels of the Olympic Games are now used by Spaniards and people from all over the world, participants of the congresses and fairs held in the city, cruise guests, etc.",

My sister and I would take a nap after Thanksgiving dinner, then we would head out about an hour before midnight so we could get a good spot in the line at our favorite store, Walmart. When she moved 400 miles away, it was not nearly as fun to go out on my own. That is when I turned to Cyber Monday instead, since it was something we could still kind of do together. I did a search for Walmart Cyber Monday deals for 2015 because I wanted to see if there were any indications of what their deals would be like this year.\nI was not able to find anything on their website, but I did find a website that has a lot of very useful information about Cyber Monday sales and deals. This site has a listing of all the major stores that have incredible Cyber Monday deals, and they will compare them to show people like me which store has an item for the best price. I could not believe my luck in finding a site that does all of the homework and leaves me just with the fun of getting great deals at incredible prices.\nWhen I showed it to my sister, she was just as excited as me. We have never done a video chat on Cyber Monday before, but that is what we are planning on doing this year. We are going to help each other get the best deals possible, which is going to be a piece of cake now that we have found this site. I cannot wait for Cyber Monday now. It is going to be a different shopping experience for us, but it is going to be a fun one regardless!\n\u00ab A Tonic to Fight Gout\nSheet Metal Stamping Company Technology at the Forefront of Product Innovation \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "Home England London & South East Occupiers now looking 4-5 years ahead as pre-letting market continues apace\nPre-letting is set to remain a vital component of the UK office market for both occupiers and landlords but, with supply levels falling, tenants are being forced to look further in advance for quality space that fits their needs \u2013 four to five years in some cases.\nThis is according to the latest research from Cushman & Wakefield: The race for space, pre-letting\u2019s impact on the UK office market.\nThe report shows that since the global financial crisis, the UK\u2019s commercial property market has undergone significant systematic change. Since 2009, there has been a significant decline in the delivery of new office space.\nHowever, occupier demand has remained robust, even following the EU referendum result, and businesses have remained focused on securing the best solution to their long-term real estate needs. This has resulted in a growing appetite for pre-letting. Over the last 10 years a total of 24.4 million sq ft has been pre-let across Central London, amounting to 267 transactions, and most of this (57%) has been in the City.\nChris Dunn, Senior Insight Analyst and report author, commented: \u201cLondon continues to be a destination for a diverse profile of businesses who are dedicated to a presence in the capital for many years to come. High-profile occupiers have committed very publicly to its strength. However, with delivery of new office space falling, we are seeing a new kind of space race play out. To stay ahead of the game pre-let occupiers will increasingly be forced to look even further ahead of time to secure high quality space; this could be four to five years for large transactions.\u201d\nThe research also identifies a shift in occupier demographics within Central London. The number of jobs in the banking and financial sector is set to fall as consolidation and rationalisation continues. However, forecasts suggest that this loss will be more than offset by increases in headcount in the professional and media & tech sectors. These sectors will play a far greater role in London\u2019s pre-let market over the next five years.\n\u2018Flexibility is king\u2019\nWhen asked about their occupational strategy, occupiers overwhelmingly referenced the term \u2018flexibility\u2019 in the context of their selection criteria, both in terms of lease length, but increasingly in reference to options to either decrease or increase commitment to space in the run-up to practical completion. The survey, part of the Race for Space report, found that occupiers also want to be able to adapt space over time as their business needs change or workplace trends evolve.\nCo-working is also anticipated to have an impact on the pre-letting market with occupiers now faced with another option which allows them to wait for the right building or space to come along. Flexible workplace providers have had a significant impact on the Central London market over the past four years, providing occupiers with a more realistic interim option.\nPatrick Scanlon, Head of UK Offices Insight commented: \u201cIt will not be enough for landlords to deliver greater volumes of space; their strategies will need to evolve to the ever-changing needs of the occupier. Flexibility, in every sense of the word, is central to the success of future office schemes offering pre-let, alongside the provision of amenities and services which mean employees have the best possible working environment.\n\u201cFlexible workplace providers could be viewed as a threat to pre-letting, however our view is that these operators provide opportunities for landlords to create partnerships, or improve their own flexible offering, giving existing and new tenants a brand-new service that meets their changing needs.\u201d\nOutside of London, the pre-let market has largely been driven by consolidation requirements from the Government following the implementation of the Government Estates Strategy 2018. Cushman & Wakefield anticipates that the ongoing relocation of the government estate out of London will place increasing pressure on the development pipeline, causing corporate tenants to look even further into the future to secure their real estate options. The relative lack of supply in the regional cities has increased the proportion of pre-letting since the beginning of 2017.\nPrevious articlePlans submitted for Notaro Park - new business park and motorway services - at J24 M5\nNext articleDeal confirmed at Two St. Peter's Square, Manchester",

You need a special metro ticket to/from the airport (2\u20ac instead of 1\u20ac).\nA taxi to the venue from the city center should be around 20-25\u20ac and takes around half an hour (depending on where you pick it up), and 40-50\u20ac from the airport, which should take around 30 minutes. Please note the COST rules on taxis: Taxi fares are limited to EUR 40 in total for the entire trip. Receipts are always required. They shall only be reimbursed where no reasonable public transport is available.\nWith inquiries contact gilles.barthe@imdea.org. An emergency phone number has been sent out via email. UPM provides wifi access in the context of eduroam. We recommend participants to check whether their institution is part of the network. We will also try to set up dedicated wifi access for the meeting.\nAny part of the city center with easy access to Line 10 of the Metro is OK. Most of the city center has relatively easy access to Line 10, either on foot or maybe with one change.\nReasonably priced hotels with nice location in the city center are:\nhttp://www.hotelmora.com\nhttp://www.t3tirol.com\nAlternatively you can use a service like HRS.com and search for a hotel close to Plaza de Espa\u00f1a (metro station).\nTwo cheap hostels with nice locations are:\nhttp://www.hostaltijcal.com\nhttp://www.hostallasfuentes.com\nHotels close to the meeting venue\nThe district Ciudad de la Imagen is located near the UPM and at the same time with easy access to the city center by light rail and metro. The following hotel is reasonably priced:\nhttp://www.i-hotelmadrid.com\nIf you are staying at the I-Hotel, the closest light rail station is Ciudad del Cine (see overview map above). From there you can take ML3 to Montepr\u00edncipe (UPM) or to Colonia Jard\u00edn (if you want to go to the city). It is also possible to take buses 571 and 573 from ? to Av Montepr\u00edncipe, which is even closer to UPM.\nSubpages (1): Details",

        "raw_content": "The political life of Dick Cheney, from his humble beginning as a Capitol intern to clerk, and up the ladder throughout three presidential administrations, is explored with irreverent storytelling.\nProduced by Brad Pitt, Vice is a smart political satire, leaning heavily to the left, but it doesn\u2019t lose its mordant humor in the process. It is written and directed by Adam McKay, who also wrote and directed The Big Short. Steve Carell, Brad Pitt, McKay and Christian Bale all re-teamed for this effort. Vice is not as incisive as Death of Stalin (See Snapshots - #45) but it is funny, especially when it doesn\u2019t take its subject matter too seriously or dares its audience to consider certain claims that may be consider outrageous\u2014if we don\u2019t take into account the declaration of war that were the events of 9/11\u2014, such as that Cheney wanted a war since the early days of George W. Bush\u2019s Presidency and that he did his darn best to get one.\nOnly a chameleon actor like Christian Bale could inhabit the role of Cheney body and soul. He has disappeared into roles before. He did it in The Fighter and won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the process. He transformed yet again for American Hustle, but in Vice, Christian Bale\u2019s transformation is uncanny: physical, mannerisms, speech pattern. He looks and sounds like the real Dick Cheney.\nAmy Adams and Christian Bale have worked together before in The Fighter and American Hustle. Vice marks their third collaboration. Amy Adams has transformed as well for this role but I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s all physical; aging effects through hair, makeup and prosthetics accomplished the also uncanny transformation. As Lynne Cheney, Amy Adams is a force to be reckoned with. In a star-studded ensemble, Adams gives the other actors a run for their money. Adams is one of the strongest contenders for Best Supporting Actress this season, if Regina King, who is making waves in award after award show, doesn\u2019t beat her to it.\nNot only Christian Bale and Amy Adams nail their performances and look strikingly like their real-life counterparts, so do Steve Carell as Donald Rumsfeld, Tyler Perry as General Colin Powell, and Sam Rockwell as George W. Bush.\nI was on the fence about this one but it turns out it is a movie I need to see.\nDid I persuade you? ;-)\nYou and one other friend who saw it. But you explained it better!\nGee, thanks. :-)\nThat's an interesting and very strong cast and there's certainly been plenty of positive comment about this film. I'm intrigued that you found it such worthwhile viewing. (Tyler Perry as Colin Powell? Really?)\nIt was different and told very irreverently, which I really enjoyed, but the movie has divided moviegoers who think that \"the cast was wasted in a movie whose filmmakers considered their audience idiotic.\" I disagree. Tyler Perry absolutely looked like Colin Powell. ;-)\nYeah the performances really make it worth seeing. The four main actors in this were outstanding.\nThey were. Especially Christian Bale and Amy Adams were stellar.\nGreat review - you may have convinced me to watch this although it wasn't on my radar otherwise.\nThanks, Lynn. I hope you enjoy it.",

We understand that having decreased hearing can be a challenge for our patients and do not want their quality of life to be compromised. At ClearView Eye Clinic Audiology, we match hearing solutions, including hearing aids, to custom, individual needs thanks to our expert audiology staff, doctors, and technology.\nClearView Eye Clinic Audiology Services were added in September of 2013. Julie Cheng, MA, CCC-A, a Licensed Audiologist, joined our team to provide a full range of hearing services to our patients in Moscow. Our newest provider in the Lewiston office is David Wood, Au.D. F-AAA\nClearView Eye Clinic is widely recognized as the premier eye center in Northern Idaho with the commitment to providing the highest quality ophthalmic care leading to exceptional patient satisfaction by blending innovative technology and superior surgical technique with our core value of integrity, excellence and compassion.

Selecting \u201cyes\u201d as the answer to three or more of these questions is a good indicator that it is time to be checked by a professional audiologist.\nDo I have a problem hearing on the telephone or cellphone?\nIs it hard for me to follow a conversation when two or more people talk at the same time?\nDo many people I talk to seem to mumble or not speak clearly?\nDo people complain that I turn the TV volume up to high?\nYour hearing is important and should be checked routinely throughout life. The Association of Independent Hearing Healthcare Professionals recommends the following plan:\nIndividual circumstances may affect this plan and your health care provider can provide more personalized suggestions.\nIn adults, the most common cause of hearing loss is aging. However, there are other causes including: noise-induced hearing loss. Hearing loss can start at any age and is classified in degrees: mild, moderate, severe or profound. The amount of hearing loss is determined during a comprehensive hearing exam with a Licensed Audiologist who is specially trained and equipped to diagnose the hearing condition.\nFor those who are experiencing hearing loss, some sounds may not be clear or regular conversations may sound like mumbling or that people are talking too quickly. Distant noises like birds chirping outside or voices in another room may be more difficult to hear than before. Some pitches may be more difficult to hear, for example some voices may be easier to hear than others and high or low pitches may be more difficult to decipher. The onset of hearing loss can be quick or slow, here are some symptoms that may be signs of hearing loss:\nFrequently asking for what was said to be repeated\nConversations sound mumbled\nHave to turn the radio or television volume up\nHaving trouble hearing in a group\nHaving difficulty hearing on the telephone\nAlthough hearing loss can begin at any age, we recommend that all patients over the age of 65 have a hearing evaluation to determine any hearing loss. At the hearing evaluation, our Licensed Audiologist performs a series of painless tests designed to predict the body\u2019s neurological and mechanical abilities to detect and amplify sound as well as determine the patient\u2019s ability to interpret speech and different pitches of sound.\nDepending on the level of hearing loss determined in the hearing evaluation there are several services offered at our practice to assist our patients to hear better.\nOur Licensed Audiologist is trained to determine the best hearing aid option for each particular hearing loss situation. There are a variety of types of hearing aids including:\nThese hearing aids have all their components in the outer ear and are custom shaped to fit the patients ear. These are best for mild to profound hearing loss.\nThere are different types of ITE hearing aids:\nFull Shell \u2013 most visible and generally provides the greatest amount of volume.\nHalf Shell \u2013 about half the size of a full shell hearing aid, is best for mild to severe hearing loss and is still visible\nCompletely in the canal \u2013 This hearing aid is the least visible when worn and is seated deeply in the canal. This is suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss\nThis is the most widely used type of hearing aid. The components are cased behind the hear and sound is conducted through a small plastic tube that has a custom mold that enters the ear canal. Most BTE hearing aids are very easy to control and your audiologist can customize the hearing aid to assist in the situations where you experience the most difficulty with hearing.\nAfter selecting your hearing aid our Licensed Audiologist will provide training on use of the device, maintenance and programming. Our hearing division also can provide the correct batteries for your hearing aid and is here to service your device if needed.\nDr. David Wood\nDavid W. Wood, Au.D.

        "raw_content": "CWC celebrates industry award for quality\nPlymouth firm Curtis Whiteford Crocker Solicitors has been given a Lexcel award \u2013 the Law Society\u2019s own quality mark for excellence in legal practice management and client care.\nOnly 10% of the country\u2019s law firms have obtained Lexcel status which is subject to a rigorous annual inspection.\nCurtis Whiteford Crocker employs 49 staff at three offices in Mutley Plain, Plymouth, Torpoint and Tavistock and first obtained Lexcel status in 2012. The Law Society scheme was drawn up by solicitors for solicitors and is a guide to best practice for legal firms, setting a gold standard across the country.\nFirms have to commit staff, time and money to meet the Lexcel award requirements and CWC Solicitors Office Manager Michelle Handley says that the Law Society process is an intensive one.\n\u201cIt\u2019s a voluntary accreditation scheme but it has an extensive annual inspection process,\u201d Michelle explains. \u201cThe quality mark is important both for client care and for the way we run the business. It makes clear who we are and what we\u2019re doing and offers reassurance to clients.\n\u201cThere is open and frank monitoring every year to ensure that quality is upheld. Not a lot of firms have it \u2013 only 10% of solicitors in this country have Lexcel status and around 11 firms in the city.\n\u201cYou do really have to prove yourself year on year and you really have got to want it and work hard for it. It\u2019s very hard for a small firm to do because there\u2019s a big commitment and it takes a long time. It took us 18 months to prepare for our first inspection and be ready for it.\n\u201cBut it is reassuring for clients because there\u2019s an expectation of quality and as a firm it helps with our indemnity insurance and also provides a framework for dealing with things like complaints.\u201d\nAs well as ensuring standards are met, the Lexcel process is updated every two years to take into account changes in legislation and new issues facing the legal profession such as the rise of cyber fraud. CWC Solicitors has committed to the Lexcel scheme long-term and this year improved on the previous year\u2019s accreditation score.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the best outcome for us,\u201d says Michelle, \u201cbut client care is what it\u2019s really about.\u201d\nCWC is the result of several mergers and acquisitions of law firms in the Plymouth area. What was Curtis Solicitors began a process of expansion in 2012 doubling staff numbers to 36 when they merge with Whiteford Crocker. They then took over Trobridge\u2019s private clients in 2013 and the offices of Browner, Milne and Davidson in Tavistock in 2015.\nThey are due to take on their 50th member of staff shortly and, as Michelle says, \u201cwe\u2019re not done yet\u201d.",

Then we worked back from that endpoint and considered which riders had the capabilities to deliver on that strategy.\n\"At the Commonwealth Games, we worked in a very similar manner and produced gold medals in both road events. We\u2019re taking the same approach to these World Championships and hope to produce a similar result.\"\nThe teams have a clear strategy for putting the leaders on the podium. \"From the moment the course was released, we have been thinking about how to best perform this year,\" explained McGee. \"The team has developed the best possible strategy and the selections were made to support the key objective of maximizing the chances of winning.\n\"From a selection process perspective, we have moved to an earlier selection timeframe to give all athletes time to prepare and think about their roles and where applicable do specific work.\"\nComplete Australian men's line-up for the World Championships (23rd-30th of September):\nComplete Australian women's line-up for the World Championships:\nMen's time trial:\nCHAMPIONNATS DU MONDE ROUTE UCI / UCI ROAD WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS",

        "raw_content": "Cal field hockey prepares for struggling UC Davis\nBy Jesus Aceves | Staff\nThe Bears field hockey team (6-3) should be able to clinch an easy win this Friday when they face off against fellow American East Conference member UC Davis (1-7). This will be Cal\u2019s third consecutive road game, and it will continue to travel for the next few matchups in the coming weeks. But thus far, the Bears have looked nothing but comfortable when they hit the road, and there\u2019s no reason to expect that to change.\nCal will face a defective Aggie team that has been crushed in almost every match this season. Their sole win was a narrow 2-1 victory over a poor Bryant University squad that Cal blew out 8-0.\nThis will be the Bears\u2019 second conference matchup of the season, and if they continue to perform the way have in the past few games, they should take this one without a problem. But, a division rival that has learned Cal\u2019s style of play over many years should never be discounted.\nIt\u2019s important to note that the reason to why the Aggies have struggled so far this season may be due in part to their tough schedule. Four of the eight teams they have faced are ranked in the top 25 \u2014 No. 5 Michigan, No. 10 Harvard, No. 13 Syracuse and No. 16 William & Mary. Cal, however, has only had the opportunity to battle against No. 13 Syracuse and No. 21 Pacific, and although they handled Pacific 4-1, they lost to the Syracuse Orange. The Bears and the Aggies also both faced Michigan State and Iowa, and both lost. Overall, Cal\u2019s and UC Davis\u2019 schedules may differ, but each team has had a chance to prove itself against tough teams all season, and Cal seems to have it all figured out.\nThe Aggies have struggled to convert goals this season, with a miniscule total of six goals. Things won\u2019t be getting any easier for them this week with standout Cal sophomore goaltender Danielle Mentink in charge of the net. Mentink earned American East Defensive Player of the Week a few weeks ago and tallied six saves last weekend. The Bears should also have an offensive advantage over a porous UC Davis\u2019 defense, which has allowed 3.88 goals per game. Cal has caged a whopping total of 26 goals in its first nine games and should continue to find the net this weekend at Davis.\nThe Bears look like a machine with all the gears working effectively in place. A win against a conference opponent this Friday should fuel their momentum and keep them plowing through their opponents.\nJesus Aceves covers field hockey.

Our digitally connected lives, businesses\u2019 vitality and our national security rely upon a secure, agile and resilient internet.\nThis program was launched in response to the fact that the industry is facing a major skills shortage. By 2022, there will be 1.8 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs, according to the recent Global Information Security Workforce Study. The authors of that study polled 19,000 cybersecurity professionals globally and found that women make up 10 percent of the cybersecurity jobs globally, and those under the age of 30 represent only 7 percent of the current workforce.\nThe cybersecurity field has evolved from a small niche filled with a few companies to an essential industry needed to protect, support and accelerate innovation and growth in the global economy. It is critical that the upcoming generation of the workforce is ready to fill the cybersecurity industry with bright talent who can combine broad technical skills with specific security expertise, an understanding of business risk and an ability to communicate effectively between tech and business units.\nThe demand for an interdisciplinary approach to cyber defense is growing much faster than the supply. The Rutgers Cybersecurity Workforce Training Program can help close the skills-gap and make enterprises, governments and entities defendable, agile and resilient against sophisticated attacks.\nMarilia Wyatt is a School of Arts and Sciences and Eagleton Institute of Politics alumna and the founder of CyberPrivacy.\nMarilia Wyatt",

Check out this familiar sign below:\nChannel Letter Signs are Cost Effective\nUsing Channel Letter Signs is one of the most cost-effective ways to market your brand. You will be able to attract more customers to your business with a beautiful channel letter sign. It is a common goal among the businesses to keep their costs down. Since channel letters are not very expensive and more importantly, they act as a one-time investment, this is the perfect opportunity to save some money. You can browse through many options from ready-made simple, plain letters to LED ones and personalized designs. Check out our gallery here.\nThese channel letters are also environmentally friendly. If you are looking to support the Go Green initiative, this is one way to do so. To start with, they use LED lights. Since LED lights don\u2019t contain mercury or lead, this is a green option. While fluorescent and neon lights increase the attractiveness, they don\u2019t really help the environment. Using LED lights will help you receive permits more easily because of their environment-friendly nature.\nThey Will Boost Your Brand Image\nLast but not the least, channel letters can give your brand image a huge boost. They talk about the business\u2019s vision and attitude. These signs convey the brand\u2019s image \u2013 playful, inviting, fancy, or friendly. These can also be customized to reflect the brand in the best manner possible.

But increasingly, rural people and their children had come into Turkish public life. Erdogan championed the right to wear a veil at work or at school. This is a basic individual right, a person\u2019s own choice, and Turkey has now become a mixture of veiled and unveiled women (the woman at Turkish Airlines who checked me in to fly back to the United States wore a veil around her face, the woman working in the next booth did not). It is as corrupt a misunderstanding of a decent democracy to think that the displays of individual belief by citizens may not appear in the public sphere as to think that one and only one religious doctrine \u2013 Christian in the case of the American Right, or Islamic \u2013 should be displayed authoritarianly. This was a big change for the better.\nErdogan was elected three times as Prime Minister and then stepped aside because of term limitation. In 2014, he was elected President, a post restricted by the Turkish Constitution (a Constitution imposed after the military coup in 1980, and a doubtfully decent one) to impartiality, a figurehead.\nBut the AK party had become used to ruling as a single party. In the previous election, it gained over 50% of the vote. It had been limited by residual fear that the military \u2013 a hotbed of Kemalism \u2013 might stage a coup; hence it had flirted with the European Union. Another great accomplishment of the AK party was, for the first time, to establish civilian rule or dominance in civilian-military relations (a great good except during the Bush period in the United States when the \u201ccivilians\u201d became authoritarians about, for example, torture which the military by and large opposed\u2026). (h/t Nader Hashemi)\nBut as one of Turkey\u2019s leading journalists, Mustafa Akyol, points out, Erdogan went particularly crazy against other partiies, branding them \u201cenemies of the state\u201d and \u201cagents of the West,\u201d after he had replaced some military leaders with his own appointees (see his \u201cParanoia and Polarization in Turkey\u201d here. Erdogan has attempted to reverse the good of an accomplishment he was responsible for, to further his own, pretty sickening ends.\nFor the June 7th 2015 parliamentary election, Erdogan proclaimed that if the AK party triumphed, Turkey would become a Presidential system, with major power shifting to the executive. This issue is familiar in the United States as \u201ccommander in chief\u201d power (Bush). It is the idea that \u201che is sovereign,\u201d as Carl Schmitt put it in his 1923 Political Theology, \u201cwho makes the decision in the state of the exception.\u201d This longstanding reactionary/authoritarian/Nazi (literally) view in Europe has moved to the apex of American politics with the neoconservatives. It is a formula for tyranny.\nInterestingly, Erodgan is also a pure case of what Greek playwrights, historians and philosophers call hubris. With a moderate policy of trying to benefit most Turks, Erdogan\u2019s party could have maintained sole power for a much longer period of time (see Akyol below). But Erdogan inflated himself above the AK party. He adopted a policy of making all opponents \u201ctraitors.\u201d And this involved not just words, but acts. For there is no rule of law in Turkey, let alone an understanding of basic individual rights \u2013 for example, to habeas corpus or a fair trial, of each citizen (just as Christian conservatives or authoritarians in the United States are happy enough to note when the rights of Christians are being violated, but not only do they not speak up for Native American rights, they seek to crush them).\nInitially, Erdogan was supported by a large but tolerant Islamic movement, which followed Imam Fethullah G\u00fclen (now living in exile in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania). Inspired by Sufism and Rumi, the G\u00fclen movement seeks toleration of different faiths and founds schools and hospitals all over Turkey and among poor people in 140 countries (it raises money from believing Turkish capitalists to do this). It does not run candidates. Its dark side is a tendency, in the silly name of being committed to faith (it has a large, charitable following among capitalists), to undermine teachers and smash unions.\nIt also has TV stations and newspapers \u2013 Zaman and Today\u2019s Zaman (English) \u2013 while the AK party dominates about 70 per cent of media in Turkey.\nBut 4 ministers, along with Erdogan\u2019s son, engaged in major corruption, laundering oil money for boycotted Iran in exchange for bribes. The G\u00fclen movement spoke out against this; there were investigations of the ministers, who were forced to resign on December 25, 2013. But sole political power is a dangerous and \u201cheady\u201d thing. The journalists, prosecuting attorneys and judges who engaged in these investigations were locked up or fired. Similarly, in December 14 of last year, Ekrem Zamanli, the CEO of Zaman, was arrested and eventually brought before a judge who set him free. But the AK party replaced the judge and the CEO was kept in jail.\nIn Turkey, there has been the opposite of law, a parody of the rule of law.\nErdogan is also building himself a huge \u201cPresidential\u201d palace, a mausoleum to roll around in.\nIn Gezi Park near Taksim Square (a central square with a big statue of Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic in 1923), students protested Erdogan\u2019s despoiling the environment, calling for the maintenance of the park and not its replacement by a shopping mall. Abdullah G\u00fcl, the former President of Turkey and one of the AKP\u2019s founders, urged Erdogan to meet with the demonstrators. Instead Erdogan called out the army, who shot some 863 people, killing 11.\nOur group of 11 students and 2 faculty members from the University of Denver, and two people from the Multicultural Mosaic Foundation (the Colorado chapter of the G\u00fclen or Hizmet movement), momentously arrived in Turkey the day of the election.\nThe fate of Turkish democracy and moving to establish anything like a rule of law hung in the balance. June 7th was thus no ordinary election \u2013 a little like the election of \"W\" by \u201changing chads\u201d and Supreme Court Justice Scalia in the US, though no one could foresee how awful his rule, featuring torture in secret prisons and aggression, would become. But the implications in Turkey were even more significant and fearful. One could not but feel trepidation about it.\nThe Kemalist or secularist party - CHP - had exhausted itself. It had 26% of the vote in the election but was not capable, by itself, of regaining leadership from the AK party. It is, moreover, an authoritarian, often military-oriented party, as are all the mainstream Turkish parties (the Justice and Development Party was briefly refreshing, only to become the craziest of the lot).\nThe MHP is an ultra-nationalist/racist party \u2013 \u201cTurkey for the Turks,\u201d sort of Marine Le Pen in Turkey - set on stepping on the Kurds. It, too, was unlikely to become a national leader (it gained several per cent), or provide a reactionary but law-abiding alternative to the AK party\nSo the rule of law as well as democracy in Turkey hung by a thread. But the HDP (the Democratic People\u2019s Party), a new part of the left, largely made up of Kurds, but including many others, was an alternative. Kurds had not been able to achieve representation in Parliament because of an anti-democratic rule in the Constitution that a party must receive at least 10% of the vote to have representatives. This was the highest bar in Europe and perhaps in any democracy in the world. It was imposed, unsurprisingly, by the military in its Constitution after the 1980 coup.\nThe HDP had been polling between 9.9% to just over 10%. In the event, it got 13.1%, or 91 delegates. Under the Constitution, if the party had gotten less than 10%, the delegates it would have gotten would have gone to the second highest vote getter in the region \u2013 in this case, the AKP. Whether Erdogan\u2019s party would have a majority in Parliament thus depended entirely on keeping the HDP below 10%.\nDuring the Arab Spring, Erdogan had opened negotiations with Abdullah \u00d6calan, the leader of the PKK (the Kurdistan Workers Party), who was in prison. But following the triumph of bloody Egyptian dictatorship, Erdogan had dropped this policy, and sought to win the election from the Right. During the campaign, he said amazingly that \u201cthere is no Kurdish problem in Turkey\u201d \u2013 he is, of course, right in the sense that genocide, disenfranchisement and racism are a \u201cproblem\u201d of the Turkish government, not of the Kurds. But the Kurdish vote came in 2/3 for the new HDP, led by the charismatic Selahattin Demirta\u015f (the name is that of Saladin, the Kurdish hero who liberated Jerusalem from the Crusaders).\nThe rule of law in Turkey and democracy were both saved by the HDP.\nIn the past, the Turkish government has fiercely oppressed the Kurdish people in the mountains of southeastern Turkey. It razed some 3,000 villages, a scorched earth policy against revolt, and send out paramilitaries to kill people. For some 25 years, Turkey murdered thousands of Kurds per year (on the order of what Saddam did to Iraq\u2019s Kurds). Opposing the US aggression in Iraq in 2003, Kurds in Denver distributed a bemused movie about \u201cGood Kurds, Bad Kurds,\u201d the good Kurds being those in Iraq (the same Rumsfeld who had supplied Saddam with poison gas under Reagan and blamed the Iranians for Saddam\u2019s murders at Halabja, now became \u201ca defender\u201d of the \u201cgood\u201d Kurds). The \u201cbad\u201d Kurds were those headed by the Marxist Abdullah Ocalan in Turkey (and to some extent, those in Syria).\nAt this meeting, I also met Imam Ibrahim Kazerooni, who was tortured by Saddam\u2019s forces as a madrasa student at age 13 and much later, became a leading opponent of the 2003 Iraq war. Kazerooni spoke with great authority (Congressman Mark Udall read his testimony into the Congressional Record; the Denver Post, before becoming completely reactionary, ran his columns once every couple weeks).\nIn \u201cordinary times\u201d in Turkey, the \u201cmountain Turks\u201d (a term of derision Turkish chauvinists used to refer to Kurds) were not allowed education in the Kurdish language. A Kurd could not seek government documents or appear in government offices speaking Kurdish (many did not speak Turkish), and the atmosphere of discrimination was thick. But genocide has a long tradition in Turkey, starting with the slaughter of the Armenians in 1915 \u2013 something the Nobel Prize-winning Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk was put on trial for discussing. One denial leads to others (many are hurt by racism\u2026). So there \u201ccouldn\u2019t be,\u201d \u201cjust couldn\u2019t be\u201d genocide against the Kurds\u2026\nWe heard from several Turks who neglected to mention any government violence against the Kurds and often passionately \u2013 see the remarks of the Dean of Law described here \u2013 repeated the same phrase about Ocalan and the PKK murdering \u201c4,000 people including children.\u201d Ocalan had led a violent and sometimes brutal movement against national oppression; he had been captured by the CIA and turned over to Turkish intelligence. In prison, however, he has sought for some kind of agreement with then Prime Minister Erdogan.\nOur group visited the headquarters of the HDP (People\u2019s Democratic Party) in Ankara, Turkey\u2019s capital. Nazmi Gur, a deputy of the Party, spoke with us and answered our questions. (h/t Ismail Akbulut)\nOne thing which the Kurds have learned from the Enlightenment and Marxism, interestingly enough, is the equality of women. (h/t Andy Muse) Gur told us that the party has a man and a woman chairperson, and nearly half the parliamentarians are women.\nThe DHP advocates a much more decentralized structure for Turkey, one which recognizes regional autonomy for all minorities (not just the Kurds\u2026). Though some Alevis (the Alevis are Turkish Shia who are much more influenced by Rumi than other Shia groups) voted for the HDP, many voted for the Kemalist CHP (the Republican People\u2019s Party) \u2013 a sad phenomenon since Ataturk slaughtered many Alevis. But plainly, the Alevis benefit from both the continuance of democracy and the rule of law, and the HDP\u2019s suggestion of decentralization.\nThe HDP reaches out to Islamists and many other groups. It even defends the rights of LGBT individuals, a first in Turkish politics and something which starts a ball rolling\u2026\nThe AK party has overseen the building over of all the green spaces near Istanbul (it cannot destroy the beauty of the Bosphorus, the marvelous waterway that unites the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara and separates Turkey\u2019s European side and its Asian side, Anatolia). It is building dams along the Ilisu river (the Tigris), which will harm both the ecology and cultural heritage: the ancient city of Hasankeyf. See here.\nThe HDP is also attractively taking this on.\nAny coalition with the HDP, Gur said, would have to abolish the 10% threshold (in its first campaign, the AK party said it would, but then kept it to gain an electoral advantage). But the HDP\u2019s aim is to strive for a kind of acknowledgement and healing in Turkey (truth and reconciliation \u2013 see here and here on the new approach to Sand Creek in Colorado). The HDP offers a way out of the poisonous racism and denial which has characterized modern Turkish life. It also models possibilities, reminiscent of Mandela and the ANC, for healing other fierce conflicts in the Middle East (the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the intensifying sectarianism between Sunnis and Shia in many countries) if justice and then acknowledgment and repair can be achieved. It is unsurprising that decency and the possibilities of healing come from those persecuted and stigmatized.\nMustafa Akyol, a fine journalist and lively speaker (see below), joined our group for dinner in Istanbul and emphasized the absence of trust in Turkish politics. He liked the result of the election and spoke, more strongly than in the article below, about the strengthening of democracy through it. But Akyol himself distrusts, to some important extent, the relationship of the HDP to the PKK. Nazmi Gur had said to us plainly that Ocalan, still jailed, is the leader of the Kurdish people. But his position in jail seems to be that of reconciliation (one might again think of how Mandela changed in jail and consider possibilities\u2026).\nAkyol overemphasizes the violence of the Kurds and perhaps underestimates the viciousness of the government toward them (as a previous supporter of the AK party, he is now sharply critical). But the HDP, a new and broader party, has staked its claim in Turkish politics on moving toward reconciliation, on working to become a party of egalitarianism and autonomy for minorities and a green party. It is not likely to be dragged back into fighting given its voice in Parliament unless the government is determined, as Erdogan and the AK party might be, to suppress it \u2013 especially if it forms a coalition with one of the more nationalist parties (either the Kemalist CHP or the right-wing xenophobic MHP \u2013 the Nationalist Movement Party).\nMore movement to resolve the Kurdish issue now (or over the next few years) would attenuate the explosiveness of the oppression/history of government violence against the Kurds.\nIronically, in turning away from the Kurds, being frightened of their autonomy, and driving Kurds to vote for the HDP, Erdogan has fallen afoul of a new American interest in fighting IS. For the Syrian Kurds waged an heroic battle for Kobane, with American air support, and beat the thugs in IS (the fanatical Sunni movement which controls large swaths of Syria and Iraq and routinely murders captives, including other Muslims). Many Turkish Kurds, often obstructed by Erdogan, went to fight with and save Kobane, and this was a great military victory for the Kurds.\nThe Kurds also ran IS out of the border towns of Tal Afar and Tal Abyad. So there is suddenly a Kurdish region blocking \u201cforeign fighters\u201d from reaching IS through Turkey. (The Syrian Kurds are led by the PYD \u2013 the Democratic Union Party, which is affiliated with the PKK. The military wing of this party is the YPG, the Kurdish People\u2019s Protection Units.) The Kurdish experiment in democratic autonomy in Rojava \u2013 the Kurdish region of northern Syria \u2013 has been likened to the Zapatistas and inspired solidarity activists, particularly anarchists, from around the world.\nWith the AKP\u2019s electoral loss, Obama suddenly criticized them for not closing the borders to \u201cforeign fighters\u201d going to join IS. Erdogan thus was outflanked by the Kurds, and weakened both electorally and in his wavering on/de facto support for IS.\nAt the same time, however, the Assad regime continues in Syria, an enormously oppressive and murderous regime (one which has slaughtered some 200,000 people). In Istanbul we met with Yassin al-Haj Saleh, widely regarded as Syria\u2019s leading intellectual figure, author of numerous books (in Arabic), and a radical (see this interview with him here and also the one here. Yassin was imprisoned by the Assad regime for 16 years (1980-96) for his left-wing activities. He argued forcefully that the early revolutionary uprising in Syria had a very significant democratic element, but that the failure of the international community to support it facilitated the emergence of the Al-Nusra front \u2013 a branch of Al-Qaeda \u2013 and other fanatical jihadi forces.\nThe Turkish left does not yet listen to these Syrians (we are not \u201cvisible to them\u201d is the way Yassin put it). Further, one of Erdogan\u2019s achievements has been to welcome 2 million Syrian refugees into Turkey, and there were quite a number of Syrians who were saddened by Erdogan\u2019s defeat.\nThe HDP needs some plan as opposed to Kurds simply uniting with the US \u2013 a force with very limited interest in the promotion of any genuinely democratic program among Kurds \u2013 to support an anti-Assad, democratic Syrian alternative (Yassin feels that it may be too late\u2026). Yassin thinks, probably rightly, that it is necessary to defeat Assad first and that dealing with IS can be done within the framework of a more democratic or peaceful Syria (though he would not take American money and the price that comes with it, he thinks the Syrian opposition needs weapons).\nThe other two opposition parties in Turkey, the MHP (xenophobic ultra-nationalists) and the CHP (the Kemalists) are both viciously anti-Syrian (the head of the CHP wants to force them back to Syria). While lacking a long-term approach to the Syrian conflict, however, Demirtas, during the campaign, commendably called for citizenship for all Syrians in Turkey. (The Syrian refugees thought, even a year ago, they were just passing through. Now many have realized they are going to be in Turkey for a long while, though some - mainly young men - still hope to get out to Europe or the United States.)\nYassin and Senay Ozden, a Turkish anthropologist, leftist and supporter both of the initial Syrian uprising and Syrian refugees (she has been very outspoken against other Turkish leftists on television and in print on both of these issues), have set up Hamisch (meaning \u201cmargin\u201d or \u201cborder\u201d), a Syrian cultural house, to publicize the arts among Syrians \u2013 to humanize Syrians to Turks, to show Syrians as creative people and not simply as downtrodden refugees desperately needing work, or \u201cpassive victims.\u201d The Turkish side of Hamish, as Senay powerfully articulates it, is one of solidarity. She says they are making \u201ca dent\u201d in the national debate. (See their website here)\nTurkey has been saved by the creativeness of the Kurds, this despite the widespread and pretty deep racism towards them (I felt sometimes as if I were in the Jim Crow South or in Israel vis-\u00e0-vis the Palestinians). There is a palpable residue of Ottoman superiority, an empire that lasted 6 centuries, that continues to permeate Turkish culture, what Orhan Pamuk conjures brilliantly in his book Istanbul as nostalgia, but this is its barely-concealed dark side. Without an opening to genuine multiculturalism (more than just a reference to Jews, whom the Turkish Sultans welcomed when they were driven from Spain, repudiated the fabricated \u201cProtocols of the Elders of Zion,\u201d and later diplomats helped many to escape from Hitler during World War II), without seeing the importance of solidarity, there might still be a reversion and a long period of oppression in Turkey.\nAll three of the opposition parties have claimed to oppose forming a united government with the AKP (though there have been mixed signals about this). Erdogan may seek new elections, attempting to regain the majority and pursue his Presidential ambitions. But there are already divisions within the AKP \u2013 voters having repudiated Erdogan\u2019s tyrannical dreams \u2013 and that is an unlikely path.\nA minority government, formed among the CHP with the support of the MHP and/or the HDP, is also possible (though the nationalists in both the MHP and the CHP are vehemently against the Kurds and gained some votes by criticizing Erdogan\u2019s brief opening to Ocalan).\nBut the HDP has saved the rule of law and opened serious possibilities for reconciliation in Turkey. That is a major achievement (even more important than the initial triumph of the AKP). It remains to be seen whether others will welcome it.\n(h/t Danny Postel)\nakyol@mustafaakyol.org\nWhy I may vote for Kurdish nationalists\nThere is now less than a month until Turkey\u2019s next general elections, to be held on June 7. In the past, I would often be quite sure in these pre-election weeks about who I was going to vote for. This time, I am not. I am only sure that whoever I vote for, I will not do it lovingly. There is only a higher chance at this point that this unloving vote may go to the Peoples\u2019 Democratic Party (HDP), which is basically the party of Kurdish nationalists.\nFirst let me explain why I am all too ambiguous. I am traditionally a center-right voter, a Turkish political tradition whose heroes include the late Adnan Menderes (1950-60) and the late Turgut \u00d6zal (1983-93). That center-right backdrop had me quite supportive of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in the 2000s as well, because the AKP seemed to be a post-Islamist movement that evolved into the center-right. But that nice AKP is not out there anymore. It took a dramatic twist in the past three years, devolving into an Islamist, \u201crevolutionary\u201d and intimidating party, with an unquestionable leader whose temptation to gather ever more power only polarizes society more and more.\nThe two main opposition parties, the Republican People\u2019s Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), are certainly more modest and arguably more likeable than the AKP at this point. But their ideologies still have elements that are not up my alley. The party whose ideology is closest to me is perhaps the Liberal Democrat Party (LDP) but I have my doubts there too. The LDP votes are miniscule (less than 0.1 percent!) and it is inevitable that my vote for them will practically be a \u201cwaste.\u201d\nThis is because of Turkey\u2019s unusually high and utterly shameful electoral threshold. Accordingly, unless a party gets 10 percent of the national vote, it cannot get even one seat in parliament. If a party wins even 9.9 percent of the national votes, all of that goes in the trash, while the bigger parties share the bounty.\nAccording a recent projection by Konsensus, a polling company, three parties will safely pass the threshold this June: the AKP, the CHP and the MHP. But the HDP is on the knife\u2019s edge, with some 9.7 percent of the votes. If they can make it to 10 percent, they will have some 60 seats in the 550-strong Turkish parliament. But if they fail to pass, all those seats will go to their only rival in the Kurdish populace: the AKP.\nThe AKP seats in parliament, in that case, may go above the critical 330-seat barrier, giving the party enough power to make a whole new constitution by itself. And a constitution made only by the AKP (or any other single actor in Turkish politics, for that matter) will be nothing but a disaster. Constitutions should come by broad national consensus and not the ambitions of partisan winners.\nMoreover, if the HDP stays out of parliament, that can have a radicalizing effect on its already agitated base, putting the much-needed \u201cpeace process\u201d between Kurdish militants and the government at risk.\nThese are the two reasons that compel me to consider voting strategically for the HDP, for the first and possibly last time, in these elections. This is not to disregard the ethnic nationalism and militancy in the party base \u2013 something that romantic Western observers might neglect by looking merely at \u201cprogressive\u201d leftist rhetoric the HDP uses. It is just to accept that an HDP inside parliament will be better for Turkish democracy than an HDP outside of parliament.\nWhy did the AKP fail this time?\nThe night of June 7 was pleasantly surprising for many Turks that I know - and myself. The results of the general election showed that the 13-year-long reign of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), which was quite clean and liberating in its initial phase but later turned increasingly corrupt and authoritarian, finally faced a setback. Turkish society proved wiser than being merely in the ruling party\u2019s pocket, and we can use football terminology to say that it was able show the AKP a \u201cyellow card.\u201d\nIn fact, this card was shown in particular to President Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, who must be \u201cnon-partisan\u201d according to the constitution but who was undoubtedly the master of the AKP. Many voters who still approve of the party\u2019s pragmatic policies were fed up with the aggressive triumphalism of Erdo\u011fan and his latter-day cronies. Meanwhile, many conservative Kurds who voted for the AKP in the past for its \u201copenings\u201d toward them were disillusioned or even angry at the \u201cErdo\u011fan language\u201d of the past year. This language included his insensitive tone for the embattled Kurds in Kobane in northern Syria, his declaration that \u201cthere is no Kurdish issue any more,\u201d and his bitterness directed toward the pro-Kurdish HDP.\nThat is why the HDP emerged as the greatest victor from the ballots. They won millions of Kurdish votes that had previously gone to the AKP, as well as the votes of many liberals and some secularists who saw them as the safest bulwark against the AKP. They proved wise enough to see and seize the opportunity.\nAll this should show to Erdo\u011fan and his supporters that aggressive triumphalism does not always do wonders. Their fear- and hate-mongering propaganda machine does not always convince the majority of society. So will they give up this propaganda and try to restore the AKP back to the modest, reasonable, civilized party that it once was?\nWe don\u2019t know the answer yet. Since election day, some sensible voices have appeared in the AKP universe (i.e., the party and the media, which are integrated). These voices call for soul-searching, typically arguing that the AKP suffered this setback because of its own mistakes: Corruption scandals, Erdo\u011fan\u2019s lavish palace, his cult of personality, his hate-mongering apparatchiks, the exclusion of the moderates.\nThese people also now call for \u201cnormalization,\u201d in the sense that Erdo\u011fan must accept his limited role defined by the constitution and let the AKP move forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto\u011flu. Some even hope that, at some point, Abdullah G\u00fcl, the quintessential moderate, might come back to restore and lead the party.\nMeanwhile, on the other hand, the propaganda apparatchiks are still doing their job, accusing Jews, secular Turks, the non-AKP media and the international press of conspiring against their beloved \u201cNew Turkey\u201d by fooling voters.\nThat is why the direction that Erdo\u011fan takes in the weeks and months to come is crucial. But also crucial are the leadership skills of the opposition parties. If they fail to form or at least offer a promising coalition government in the next 40 days, Erdo\u011fan could call for renewed elections. And he will be able to do that with the good old argument of \u201cstability\u201d in his hand: \u201cYou see what happens when my party is not the majority in parliament, the country slips into chaos.\u201d This line really could work for him.\nIn other words, getting a \u201cyellow card\u201d from the electorate neither means that Erdo\u011fan is out of the game nor that he will lose it. Much depends on other political actors, and whether they are smart enough to turn last Sunday\u2019s boost into a longer-lasting win.\nHow the AKP sees the world\n\u015eafak, one of the many Turkish newspapers that passionately supports President Tayyip Erdo\u011fan and his AKP (Justice and Development Party) government, had an interesting headline yesterday: \u201cThey opened war with five newspapers: The target is Muslim leader Erdo\u011fan.\u201d The \u201cthey\u201d in this sentence was not clearly identified, but they presumably were the dark anti-Islamic powers of the West. The \u201cnews story\u201d then explained:\n\u201cWestern and especially British media, which sees it a mission to insult Erdo\u011fan, intensified its attacks before June 7 [the day of the elections.]\u2026 Meanwhile, this anti-Erdo\u011fan hatred of the West was exposed in The Guardian editorial of a few days ago.\u201d\nOnce I read this, I noticed that I had missed that pivotal The Guardian editorial. To see what it was all about, I kept on reading Yeni \u015eafak. I was soon informed that the British paper dared to write this unbelievable verdict:\n\u201cNot fully-Westernized, poor Muslims cannot be allowed to run their own countries.\u201d (In Turkish: \u201cTam Bat\u0131l\u0131la\u015fmam\u0131\u015f, yoksul M\u00fcsl\u00fcmanlar\u0131n kendi \u00fclkelerini y\u00f6netmelerine izin verilemez.\u201d)\nThis really sounded like some social Darwinian statement from a late 19th century arrogant Western politician. But it also sounded a bit bizarre \u2013 especially coming from the left-wing Guardian. So I checked what the paper really wrote, and found this:\n\u201cMr. Erdo\u011fan has maximized his constituency in the somewhat poorer, somewhat less westernized and more religiously inclined segments of Turkish society, and he has acquired a substantial body of big business supporters who benefit from association with him. But he has no lines out to the younger, more modern classes of Turkey, people with concerns about the environment, sexual tolerance, ethnic and religious pluralism, and grassroots activism, as was shown by his bilious reaction to the protests against plans to replace a park in central Istanbul with a shopping mall in 2013. He has captured one half of his society but lost the other half, if he ever had any hold on it. That is unhealthy.\u201d\nSo, The Guardian really had referred to \u201csomewhat poorer, somewhat less westernised and more religiously inclined segments of Turkish society.\u201d But it did not assert, \u201cThey cannot be allowed to run their own country.\u201d This latter statement was Yeni \u015eafak\u2019s imagination. It was also a very significant example of how the AKP and its supporters have begun to see the world in the past two years.\nI am referring to the past two years, for this conspiracy-obsessed narrative began with the Gezi Park protests of June 2013. Since then, Erdo\u011fan and his cadre have believed \u201cthe West\u201d wants to topple them because of two reasons: 1) They are good Muslims; and the West is Islamophobic. 2) They are building an \u201cindependent\u201d Turkey; but the West wants a poodle dog.\nBoth of these presumptions may be substantiated with cherry-picked facts. Or blatantly distorted facts, as in the Yeni \u015eafak story above. However, they are in fact less about the West itself, but more about the Turkish opposition. For once you establish that there is a giant Western conspiracy against Erdo\u011fan, any Turk who dares to oppose or even criticize him automatically becomes a treacherous pawn of this plot. And the regime deserves to get more heavy-handed to deal with such \u201cenemies within.\u201d\nThis is the narrative of the AKP on the eve of the elections this Sunday. It is a narrative of not liberal democracy, for sure, but an authoritarian regime. And that is why my vote is not going to the AKP, as it used go happily throughout the first decade of this century.\nWhen elections are a \u2018conquest\u2019\nLast Saturday, President Tayyip Erdo\u011fan joined a huge rally in Istanbul, which marked the 562nd anniversary of the Turks\u2019 conquest of Istanbul. (We Turks celebrate this \u201cconquest anniversary\u201d every year, for apparently we can\u2019t get enough of having taken the city more than two dozen generations ago.)\nIn the speech, as usual, Erdo\u011fan slammed a whole range of conspirators and traitors that have targeted his rule with devious plots. One novelty was the New York Times, which Erdo\u011fan not only insulted as a \u201crag\u201d but also blamed for being an enemy of Turkey since the time of Sultan Abd\u00fclhamid II (1876-1909). (Some kept wondering, however, why some members of the president\u2019s own party, such as Prime Minister Ahmet Davuto\u011flu, have written opinion pieces for this same paper if it was such a quintessentially evil outsource.)\nWhat I have found most notable in this impressive rally was Erdo\u011fan\u2019s depiction of this Sunday\u2019s general elections as yet another \u201cconquest.\u201d \u201cThe conquest,\u201d he bluntly said, \u201cis Inshallah on June 7.\u201d\nOne obvious problem with this conceptualization is that envisioning other (non-AKP) political parties as the enemy. (I am not even getting to the fact the constitution in fact decrees that Erdo\u011fan must be impartial, a principle that has recently turned into a joke.) For conquests are realized against enemies, which you want to crush and subdue. If this is the way politics are carried out in a country, needless to say, that country will find anything but peace of mind.\nWhat is even more curious is that the AKP already \u201cconquered\u201d Turkey long ago, if this means being in power. AKP governments have been ruling the country since 2002, and AKP municipalities administer most cities, including Ankara and Istanbul. But since Erdo\u011fan is looking forward to a new \u201cconquest,\u201d this must be something far greater than mere governance in a parliamentary democracy.\nWell, we know that this thing that is far greater is embodied in the \u201cpresidential system\u201d that Erdo\u011fan is super keen about. But is this merely an end in itself, or a means to a higher end? Probably both, for \u201cthe presidential system\u201d has lots to do with Erdo\u011fan\u2019s personal ambitions and concerns. But it also fits into a \u201chistoric\u201d mission that is indeed captured well in the very term \u201cconquest\u201d: It is the act of Muslims taking a land from the infidels.\nBut how can this be meaningful for Turkey, a society whose overwhelming majority (98 percent, by some estimates) profess to be Muslims? Well, according to some of these Muslims, they themselves are the \u201creal Muslims\u201d and other ones are, at best, nominal ones.\nYou can see this us-the-real-Muslims-vs-them feeling powerfully in the AKP and pro-AKP propaganda of the past two years. At its core, it is the depiction of other political trends in Turkish society as soulless degenerates or hypocrites who serve the enemies of Islam.\nAll this militantly religious propaganda is bad for Turkey for sure, for it creates deep scars in our society. But, since I care, it is even worse for religion itself. For the instrumentalization of religion for the sake of such an aggressive political cause only devalues religion. It gets deprived of the deeper moral truths it is supposed to represent, instead becoming a battle cry driven by hate and lust. The result is that religion begins to push people away, rather than win hearts and minds.\nThat is why the end of this \u201cconquest\u201d of the Turkish society by the AKP might be the exact opposite of what the AKP hopes to see: A very disenchanted society, angry with religion for what is done in its name. In a way it is similar to what happened in Catholic Europe, particularly France, where the religious authoritarianism of the church triggered a secular backlash. The post-AKP era, I think, will also be the era of a secular backlash.\nAbout a decade ago, Turkey was widely seen as the shining star of the Muslim world - an increasingly liberal democracy and a booming economy led by a cadre of reformist Islamists united under the Justice and Development Party (AKP). Today, the same party is still in power, but there is little left shining about Turkey. What we have instead is an increasingly illiberal (i.e. authoritarian) democracy that is regressing in almost every liberal criteria, and which is disillusioning everyone except the AKP\u2019s hardcore supporters.\nHere is a brief story of what went wrong. The \u201cIslamo-liberal synthesis\u201d that the AKP seemed to embrace in its initial years (2002-2010) was caused by some genuine soul-searching, but also a burning necessity: Turkey was still under the thumb of hardcore secularist generals who could overthrow the AKP. The safest life tube out from this danger was the \u201cCopenhagen Criteria\u201d of the European Union, which the AKP clung onto.\nSome significant names in the party, such as Abdullah G\u00fcl, had genuinely internalized liberal democracy. But the most significant name, current President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, apparently saw it just as an instrument. Once Erdo\u011fan subdued the military in 2010 and further consolidated power with a great election victory in 2011, he trashed out what he now saw as little more than \u201cCopenhagen blah blah.\u201d He redefined democracy as amounting to nothing but elections, granting full hegemony to the winner of the elections.\nThe next two years saw an ever more assertive AKP, returning to the Islamist narrative that it had supposedly abandoned, and poking the fears of secular Turks. The latter\u2019s reaction triggered the Gezi Park protests of June 2013, which initiated the third era of the AKP: Paranoid authoritarianism. Erdo\u011fan interpreted Gezi not as a spontaneous social phenomenon, which it was, but as a heinous conspiracy concocted by nefarious global powers. Rather than seeking understanding and reconciliation, he opted for flexing his muscles and demonizing the opposition.\nThings got worse with the intra-state political war between the AKP and the movement of U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah G\u00fclen, which broke out with the corruption investigations of December 2013. Instead of seeing this as a power struggle with a group that he himself had empowered, Erdo\u011fan interpreted it as yet another heinous conspiracy by nefarious global powers. The result was not only a witch-hunt against the G\u00fclen movement, but also an even more paranoid outlook that sees a plot behind every stone - and every critical comment.\nMeanwhile, all critical voices and independent minds in the AKP have been muted, as the party has been taken over by Erdo\u011fan\u2019s cult of personality. Both G\u00fcl - and the \u201cG\u00fcl line\u201d - have been carefully purged, and sycophants have been promoted.\nThis is a very sad story, especially for people like me who had much higher hopes and expectations. What is most tragic is that it did not have to be this way. Had the AKP just been a little more modest, a little less ambitious, and little less hungry for revenge, it could have accomplished a historic reconciliation with the social groups that it is busy demonizing these days.\nFuture generations should take lessons from this story. The big moral problems are arrogance, self-righteousness, machismo, nepotism and corruption. Conspiratorial thinking also plays a big role, pointing to a burning intellectual poverty. At the end of the day, it turns out that our political culture is not yet mature enough to achieve liberal democracy. We will begin to mature only when we look at the mirror and dare to see who we really are.\nLabels: Abdullah Gul, Erdogan, Gezi Park, Hamish, Kurds, Mustafa Akyol, Ocalan, Pamuk, rule of law, Selahattin Demirtas, Senay Ozden, Syria, Syrian refugees, Turkey welcomes Jews, Yassin al-Haz Saleh",

        "title": "Join us as we watch the crisis unfolding by Kenneth S. Deffeyes",
        "raw_content": "Join us as we watch the crisis unfolding\nProfessor Ken Deffeyes is a geologist and professor emeritus at Princeton. He is considered to be one of the leading experts on the question of \"peak oil\" and is the author of two books on the subject, Hubbert's Peak: the Impending World Oil Shortage (2001) and Beyond Oil: The View from Hubbert's Peak (2005) Visit his website, Beyond Oil: The View From Hubbert's Peak at http://www.princeton.edu/hubbert/.\nIn the January 2004 Current Events on my website, I predicted that world oil production would peak on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2005. In hindsight, that prediction was in error by three weeks. An update using the 2005 data shows that we passed the peak on December 16, 2005.\n\"A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires\" that I present an update on the data sources and the interpretation.\nThe underlying methodology is Hubbert's postulate that the rate of new oil discoveries depends on the fraction of the oil that has not yet been discovered. Similarly, the rate of oil production depends on the fraction of oil that has not yet been produced. A test of Hubbert's hypothesis, using the long history of US oil production, is on pages 35\u201442 of my book Beyond Oil. An algebraic result from the Hubbert theory says that the production rate peaks when half of the oil has been produced.\nThe most accurate measure of the eventual total oil comes from the \"hits\" graph on page 48 of Beyond Oil. The input data for that graph are the dates of the first well in each oilfield. The February 2006 edition of Colin Campbell's ASPO newsletter contains his updated version of the ExxonMobil discovery dates. I enlarged Campbell's graph and scaled off data for 2004 and 2005. An update of the calculation reported on page 49 of Beyond Oil gives an unchanged estimate: 2.013 trillion barrels. (There is always a statistical nervousness when an estimate does not change. I make the estimates by stepwise trials, and the winning step was 2.013. What I know is that neither estimate was 2.012 or 2.014.)\nThe world peak would then happen when 1.0065 trillion barrels have been produced (half of 2.013). Following Hubbert, I used the Oil & Gas Journal end-of-year production numbers. It isn't that the Oil & Gas Journal reports are divinely inspired; their methodology is well explained and their reports constitute a relatively consistent data set. The cumulative world production at the end of 2004 was 0.9812 trillion barrels and at the end of 2005 it was 1.00748 trillion. During the year, we passed the halfway point. The graph shows the date of the crossover: December 16, 2005.\nDuring the year, we passed the halfway point. The graph shows the date of the crossover: December 16, 2005.\nThere are some interesting additional bits in the end-of-year statistics. Compared to 2004, world oil production was up 0.8 percent in 2005, nowhere near enough to compensate for a demand rise of roughly 3 percent. The high prices did not bring much additional oil out of the ground. Most oil-producing countries are in decline. The rise in production was largely from Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Angola. The Saudi production for 2005 was 9.155 million barrels per day. On March 6, 2003 Saudi Aramco and the government of Saudi Arabia announced by way of the Dow Jones newswire that they were maxed out at 9.2 barrels per day. In retrospect, that statement seems to be accurate. Further details are in Matthew Simmons' book Twilight in the Desert.\nCould some new discovery come along and reverse the global oil decline? The world oil industry is a huge system: Annual production worth 1.7 trillion dollars. I don't see anything on the horizon large enough to turn it around.\nSo what are the policy implications? Numerous critics are claiming that the present world economic situation is a house of cards: built on trade deficits, housing price bubbles, and barely-adequate natural gas supplies. Pulling any one card out from the bottom of the pile might collapse the whole structure.\nThere are calls for embargoing Iranian oil because of the nuclear weapons situation. Pulling four million barrels per day out from under the world energy supply might trigger a severe worldwide recession. In the post-peak era, we're playing a new ball game and we don't yet know the rules.\nGhawar, the supergiant Saudi oilfield, is producing increasing amounts of water along with the oil. When Simmons sent Twilight in the Desert to the printer, the water cut at Ghawar was around 30 percent. There are later reports on the Internet (home.entouch.net/dmd/ghawar.htm) of water cuts as high as 55 percent. Ghawar has been producing 4 million barrels per day; when the Ghawar field waters out, you can kiss your lifestyle goodbye.\nSince we have passed the peak without initiating major corrective measures, we now have to rely primarily on methods that we have already engineered. Long-term research and development projects, no matter how noble their objectives, have to take a back seat while we deal with the short-term problems. Long-term examples in the proposed 2007 US budget (Feb. 9, 2006 New York Times page A-18) include a 65 percent increase in the programs to produce ethanol from corn, a 25.8 percent increase for developing hydrogen fuel cell cars, and a 78.5 percent increase in spending on solar energy research. The Times reports that solar energy today supplies one percent of US electricity; the hope is to double that to 2 percent by the year 2025. By 2025, we're going to be back in the Stone Age.\nBy 2025, we're going to be back in the Stone Age.\nEthanol, fuel cells, and solar cells are not the only shimmering dreams. Methane hydrates, oil shale, and the Yucca Mountain radioactive waste depository would be better off forgotten. There are plenty of solid opportunities. Energy conservation is by far the most important. Initiatives that are already engineered and ready to go are biodiesel from palm oil, coal gasification (for both gaseous and liquid fuels), high-efficiency diesel automobiles, and revamping our food supply. Every little bit helps, but even if wind energy continues its success it will still be a little bit.\nThat's it. I can now refer to the world oil peak in the past tense. My career as a prophet is over. I'm now an historian.\n\u00a9 2001\u20142005 - K. Deffeyes All Rights Reserved. Reprinted with permission.",

        "raw_content": "Faces of the Lough: the portrait photography of Ernest Elliott\nDown County Museum has just opened a new exhibition which features the photographs of Portaferry photographer, Ernest Elliott.\nErnest Elliott was a talented photographer who created a vast collection of images taken over a 50 year career. Beginning in the 1930s, he took photographs of everything that interested him resulting in a large and varied collection, containingimages of local events, industries and businesses as well as stunning images of Strangford Lough.\nSelf taught when he began in the early 1930\u2019s, he spent the years that followed improving his skills and even setting up his own darkroom at his home.\nThis exhibition features his striking portrait photography, which demonstrates an amazing skill in photographing people. His photographs show he had a way of putting people at ease and capturing natural moments of laughter and expression that give a sense of the personality behind the face. His work gives us an insight into the lives of the people who lived and worked in the area and the connection they share with Strangford Lough.\nThe exhibition is now open at Down County Museum and will be on until the summer. Admission to the exhibition is free.\nThe Chairperson of Newry. Mourne and Down District Council, Councillor Roisin Mulgrew said \u2018This exhibition of photographs by Ernest Elliott beautifully captures the personalities of the people of the Strangord Lough area. The subjects include fishermen, sailors, farmers and as well as outside shots there are many interior scenes but always it is the face which is the central focus. This is a fascinating glimpse of the past life of the Lough and its characters.\u2019",

        "raw_content": "ADU Program Information\nThank you for visiting the City of Durango's page on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). You can scroll through the entire page for comprehensive information on the topic or click on the quick link below to jump to the topic of your choice.\nNEW ADUs (PDF) | EXISTING ADUs | ADUs IN ANIMAS CITY (PDF)\nUPDATE: City hosting neighborhood meeting to share information on Accessory Dwelling Units in Crestview and other neighborhoods\nOn Thursday, December 6, from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, the City of Durango will host a neighborhood meeting to discuss the recent expansion of the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program into additional neighborhoods. The meeting will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church, located at 419 San Juan Drive.\nThe City has revised its regulations for ADUs to allow this type of housing unit in three additional zone districts: Crestview/Needham area (EN-4 zone district), Riverview and the \"tree streets\" such as Aspen and Oak (EN-5 zone district), and in Hillcrest, Ella Vita and other areas (EN-6 zone district). The meeting will involve a presentation on the unique standards for ADUs in these areas and how the standards interact with private covenants.\nIn September, the Durango City Council approved amendments to the Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) to expand the ADU areas. Staff from the Community Development Department are now hosting this meeting to discuss and clarify the City's adoption process and the new regulations.\nPublic Hearings were held on August 27th and September 18th, 2018\nThe City of Durango is proposing to expand the number of neighborhoods where Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are allowed. Durango legalized ADUs, also known as granny flats or in-law suites, in 2014 in certain neighborhoods, and there are now more than 300 ADUs in the East Animas City, Old Durango and Avenues neighborhoods. The City is now proposing to allow ADUs in three different zone districts: Crestview/Needham (EN-4), Riverview and the tree streets such as Aspen and Oak (EN-5), and in the EN-6 neighborhoods such as Hillcrest, Ella Vita, and others.\nBased on feedback from the online survey posted earlier this year, a public meeting held in April and analysis by the City of Durango, city staff prepared an amendment to the Land Use and Development Code for the expansion of ADUs into these other areas in Durango. The proposed text is in the red font, and language to be removed is struck through. Two public hearings were held for the code amendment, at the August 27 Planning Commission meeting, at 6:00 pm at Durango City Hall, 935 E 2nd Avenue, and at City Council's September 18 meeting, at 6:30 pm at City Hall.\nReview the proposed Land Use and Development Code ADU amendment (PDF)\nADUs in the EN-4, EN-5 and EN-6 Zones\nThe City of Durango held a public meeting at the Durango Public Library on April 19, from 5-7 p.m., to discuss the possibility of allowing ADUs in the EN-4 (Crestview), EN-5 (Riverview and the tree streets off Florida) and the EN-6 (Hillcrest, Ella Vita) zones. ADUs are currently allowed in the EN-1 (Old Durango), EN-2 (north Durango) and EN-3 (Animas City) zones. The 4,5 and 6 zones developed differently from earlier neigborhoods and from each other, so the City wants to hear from residents about the feasibility and requirements for ADUs in each of these zone districts.\nADUs have been legal in the 1 and 2 zones since 2014, and were legalized in EN-3 shortly after that. With close to 300 permitted ADUs, they have have proven to be a popular housing model, and the City is evaluating whether ADUs should be permitted in additional areas. The 4,5 and 6 neighborhoods have a different character and lay out than the 1,2 and 3 areas, so the City is evaluating the feasibility of ADU expansion. One such difference is that the areas where ADUs are currently allowed have alleys, which permits easy access to detached units at the rear of the property. The newer 4,5 and 6 areas do not have alleys, affecting how ADUs could be created. The City hosted this first public meeting to collect and assess the comments and feedback of the residents of the areas where ADUs may be legalized.\nAdditional opportunities for public input will include public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council. An online questionnaire about ADUs was from April 5 through May 6. Additional information about the ADU process will be posted online in the coming months as well. Future meeting dates will be posted here when they become known.\n4-19-18 EN-4,5,6 Meeting Presentation (PDF)\nThe City of Durango is proposing to expand the number of neighborhoods where Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are allowed. Durango legalized ADUs, also known as granny flats or in-law suites, in 2014 in certain neighborhoods, and there are now close to 300 legal ADUs in the East Animas City, Old Durango and Avenues neighborhoods. The City is now proposing to allow ADUs in three different zone districts: Crestview/Needham (EN-4), Riverview and the tree streets such as Aspen and Oak (EN-5), and in the EN-6 neighborhoods such as Hillcrest, Ella Vita, and others.\nBased on feedback from the online survey posted earlier this year, a public meeting held in April and analysis by the City of Durango, city staff prepared the following document as a proposed amendment to the Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) regarding the expansion of ADUs into other areas of Durango. Proposed text is in the red font, and language to be removed is struck through. If you wish to provide feedback on the proposed changes there is a comment form where you can do so, and the City will review your response.\nA link to the proposed language is provided below. There are also several maps that show where the EN-4, 5 and 6 zones are located, and a map that shows lots sizes in the three zones, as ADUs are currently propose to only be allowed on lots that are 7,500 square feet or more.\nPROPOSED AMENDMENT (PDF) EN-4 Map (PDF) EN-5 Map (PDF) EN-6 Map (PDF) EN-4, 5, and 6 Lot Sizes (PDF)\nIf you wish to provide feedback on the proposed changes provide your comments, and the City will review your response.\nThis amendment is scheduled to be heard at the July 23 Planning Commission meeting and on August 21 by City Council.\nThe information following this point deals only with ADUs in the EN-1, EN-2 and EN-3 zones.\nNew ADUs\nThe new Land Use and Development Code (LUDC) for the City of Durango allows for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to be built in certain parts of the City. New ADUs must show that they meet the standards of the LUDC and obtain a Limited Use Permit (LUP) prior to starting construction. More information regarding new ADUs can be found here. The LUDC Sections that govern the construction of new ADUs are found.\nA pre-application meeting is required prior to applying to build a new ADU. If you would like to set up an appointment to discuss options for a new ADU on your property, please contact a City Planner in the Community Development Department by calling (970) 375-4850.\nExisting ADU/Duplex Voluntary Registration Period\nThe ADU/Duplex Voluntary Registration Period ended January 1, 2016!\nThe City is also conducting a program to inventory and register existing ADUs and Duplexes. Some existing ADUs and Duplexes may have been installed prior to zoning laws and may be legally non-conforming, but many were installed illegally. It is the City's intent to better understand how many of these units exist.\nIf you own a property that contains an ADU or a second unit, it is to your advantage to submit an application for registration during the voluntary application period from August 1, 2014 to December 31st, 2015. Property owners that notify the City and voluntarily apply during this initial registration period will be eligible for variances and other programs that will not be offered to property owners whose units are discovered after this voluntary period. Beginning in January 2016, the City will be proactively seeking out ADUs and duplexes that were not voluntarily registered.\nEach situation is unique so a pre-application meeting is required prior to applying to register an existing ADU/Duplex. If you have an ADU or multiple units on your property, you can begin the application and registration process by filling out the simple online pre-application request form below.\nThe first step is to fill out this form: ADU/DUPLEX REGISTRATION REQUEST FORM.\nThe video below provides information about ADUs and a summary of the registration process.\nOn Thursday, November 13 the City held a public informational meeting to go over the revised process for registering a pre-existing ADU or Duplex. This presentation covers the main points of the meeting: EN-1/EN-2 Pre-Existing Unit Registration Information (PDF). Staff also handed out a fee schedule showing the costs of registration for unit that were established in 1989 or more recently.\nOn Tuesday, December 9 at a Study Session, City Council gave direction to staff to simplify the fee schedule (PDF). For units built between 1989 and July 1, 2014, this fee schedule, broken down by year built, shows the applicable fees.\nFor units built prior to 1989, these fees do not apply and owners must only pay the $100 application fee and a $21 recordation fee.\nA City staff member will review the information you provide and then call you to discuss your situation. You can call (970) 375-4850 or email Community Development if you have any questions.\nThank you in advance for your cooperation in complying with the laws and standards of our community.\nADUs in Animas City (EN-3 Zone District)\nThe City Council has directed City staff to undertake a process to understand the sentiment of the residents in Animas City towards ADUs and propose next steps for existing and new ADUs in this area.\nHomeowners can now apply for an ADU in the EN-3 zone district.\nApplications for pre-existing ADUs in the EN-3 zone will be accepted from June 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. Property owners can register pre-existing units in EN-3 using this form: ADU/DUPLEX REGISTRATION REQUEST FORM.\nADUs in EN-3 Background\nOn Monday, November 17, City staff held a public meeting to introduce the topic to the neighborhood and take comments on the issue. Over 60 people attended the meeting. Staff went through this presentation (PDF) and then took comments for nearly two hours.\nThe tentative timeline for this neighborhood process is as follows:\nIntroductory Neighborhood Meeting (November 17, 2014)\nNeighborhood Survey (Early January)\nSecond Neighborhood Meeting (January 22)\nCity Council Study Session (January 26)\nThird Neighborhood Meeting (February 12)\nPlanning Commission Meeting (February 23, 2015)\nCity Council Study Session (March 10, 2015)\nCity Council Meeting (Late March)\nImplementation (After March)\nFrom December 31 to January 16, the City of Durango conducted a survey on ADUs in the Animas City neighborhood. There were three different ways to take the survey.\nThe survey expired on January 16, 2015. The results of the survey were presented to the public at a public meeting on January 22, 2015 at the City Recreation Center. A copy of the presentation given at this public meeting is available below.\nSURVEY RESULTS AND DRAFT PROPOSAL PRESENTATION (PDF)\nThe City Council public hearing on this issue was held on March 17, 2015 at City Hall (949 E 2nd Avenue).\nYou can call (970) 375-4850 or email Community Development if you have any questions.\nVacation Rental Permit Table\nHousing Plan (PDF)",

Lots of incredible happenings that probably at the beginning of the year I never thought, nor dreamt, I would have been able to enjoy. Yet, here I am celebrating that 2006 is nearly over and that 2007 is just around the corner!\nI guess that this would be the time as well where I could relate some of the different achievements that I have been able to accomplish during the course of 2006 and everything else. Or, rather, I could probably also be letting you know about the different New Year resolutions that I have been thinking about over the last couple of weeks, like everyone else has been doing lately. But the truth is that I am not going to do that.\nThis is actually going to be a weblog post that I am going to be dedicating to those little precious moments that we all get to enjoy in our daily lives and that make our own existence worth while all the way on their own. Yes, I am sure that you know exactly what I am talking about. Those precious moments that we all seem to have been taking for granted all along and that we seem not to appreciate just as much as we should probably do. This is, indeed, a post to celebrate something so precious to us all that we probably should not have forgotten about it altogether. Ever! \u2026 Life!\nYes, this is a weblog entry to show some appreciation for something that I have been able to enjoy for some time now, but that just the day before yesterday I had the opportunity of losing it in a split second. For good\u2026 My life.\nThat is right, a couple of days ago a good friend of mine and myself decided to go for a ride with the car into the countryside and check out one other route that we haven\u2019t done just yet for some spectacular scenery that I will be sharing some more thoughts about in upcoming weblog posts. We had a fantastic day, but as we were driving our way back home everything would have been spoiled in just that split second if it weren\u2019t for my friend\u2019s great driving skills because one other driver thought it was ok to overtake someone else\u2019s car on a curve while we were driving through at just that very moment!\nYes, I know, very close. Phew! I think I have never seen it so close. So much so that for the last couple of days I haven\u2019t been able to think about anything else than just that experience. Over and over. How something so precious and yet so simple, our own lives, can be wrecked just like that. How in just a nick of time everything that we have been able to build over the last few years can go away for good. Yes, just like that! I suppose in all of these previous years my New Year resolutions and best wishes have always been around different subjects: happiness, prosperity, family, love, friendship, partnership, work, money, good luck, etc. You name it.\nI guess this year, as we are about to enter 2007 (And while others are well into it already!), things are going to be a little bit different. This year there will be no 2006 highlights from myself, no resolutions for the New Year, no best wishes to everyone out there, other than to share with you one single thought. One single wish: treasure your life and enjoy it every single minute of it!\nBecause at the end of the day it is just those little precious moments we get to experience that make it all worth while living. The rest is just circumstantial. Life isn\u2019t. So my highlight for what is to come, my New Year resolution, my best wish for all of you, and your loved ones, out there in 2007 is nothing more, nothing less than wishing you a Healthy 2007! where you get a chance to live your life to the fullest with plenty of health to be able to enjoy everything else. The rest, as I just said, is just circumstantial. Thus,\na Happy, Prosperous and, above all, Healthy New Year 2007 to you all!\n(Keep safe and have a good one!)\nEngineering Life Work Integration\nYikes, what an adventure! Glad to hear that you are both ok. Although our nerves may not agree, I think that it is good for us to get a wakeup call every once in a while to remind us of what is really important. May we all live up to our potential!\nBest wishes and good health in the New Year!\nhttp://edventures.whitemountaintech.net\nLuis, hope you are well.

We have played in the 2nd division.\nArsenal have only ever played top flight but we've played more top flight games than any other club.\nThat's also incorrect arsenal were in the second division finishing 5th in 1915 but that was enough for them to be promoted and since then they have been ever present I'm sure I have read somewhere that it was to do with the war that led to there promotion but I can't clearly recall it at the min.\nI think the stat is Arsenal are the longest serving in England\u2019s top flight and we are second longest\nThat\u2019s what I recall reading a long while ago, around the time it was under threat from Mike Walker.\nTrue, relegated 1913. No English team has been in the top flight for their entire history.\nI was under the impression that Arsenal were elected into the top flight and have stayed there ever since therefore never dropping out whils Everton have spent the most seasons in top flight due to having a longer history as founder members of the football league.\nIn a nutshell both clubs hold records for differing stats.\nI think the war plays a part in our history too.\nI believe we were the last champions of England when we packed away the sport for the duration of the war.\nIm Sure I read that as we presided over the title, we have been champions for 18 years? Obviously only winning the top flight 9 times.\nI should probably Google my claim before posting but sod it. You can correct me.\nI think it was both wars. we seem to even have Hitler and the Nazis trying to stop us!\nThat's right Degsy. I had a little look. Hopefully we can win one in peace time ;)",

        "raw_content": "Published: 09 Jul 2018 By Andy Bounds\nThe UK\u2019s digital technology sector is growing faster than the economy as a whole and spreading beyond the south-east and big regional cities, according to an annual report.\nTech Nation 2018, compiled by the government-funded advocacy body of the same name, found that the turnover of digital tech companies rose 4.5 per cent in 2017, compared with a 1.7 per cent rise in GDP.\nTech Nation identifies 16 \u201ctech towns\u201d that have a higher than average number of digital businesses. They include Burnley in Lancashire, Livingston in Scotland and Enniskillen in Northern Ireland, alongside the likes of Newbury, Slough and Swindon on the M4 corridor.\nEight cities have above average rates of tech sector employment, including Portsmouth, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford and York.\nThe digital tech sector was worth \u00a3184bn to the UK economy in 2017, up from \u00a3170bn in 2016. It employs 1.1m people.\nThe sector recruits substantial numbers from ethnic minorities \u2014 15 per cent are non-white, with many from overseas. It remains male dominated: 19 per cent of those working in the industry are women.\nEmployers say their biggest difficulty is recruitment \u2014 83 per cent said finding talented individuals was their most common challenge, according to a survey accompanying the report.\nBritish digital tech companies raised a record \u00a34.5bn in venture capital investment in 2017, according to figures from Pitchbook, a data provider, almost double the previous year. Deals included the \u00a31bn acquisition of Leeds-based Callcredit, a credit checking business, by TransUnion of the US.\nAn unlikely tech centre highlighted in the report is Burnley, a former mill town of 73,000 people north of Manchester that is home to almost 100 tech businesses, according to Digital Lancashire, a non-profit promotion agency. The town is the site of a University of Central Lancashire campus, and office space is cheaper than in larger cities.\nCompanies operating in the town include Vodafone Automotive, which develops car tracking and anti-theft devices, and Boohoo, the online fashion retailer. Daisy Group, a telecoms provider, is in nearby Nelson.\nJohn Jackson, of FlowXO, which is based in Burnley and develops chatbots for online customer help, said entrepreneurs were active in the town and the council had fostered links between local tech companies.\nHis business also has an office in Manchester, 50 minutes away by train.\nTech Nation was created by the amalgamation of Tech City UK and Tech North. It receives government funding to accelerate the growth of the sector.",

        "title": "Experimental Wines from Languedoc Region",
        "raw_content": "Home > French Wine > Experimental Wines from Languedoc Region\nLanguedoc is a wine region that has often been overlooked in the past. Languedoc wines hail from the Southern Languedoc-Roussilon region in the far South of France.\nWhilst this region has often been frowned upon as a mass producer it is enjoying a growing reputation, benefiting from the fact that its better wines are not as grossly expensive as those from more appreciated French wine regions such as Burgundy, Bordeaux and Champagne. Due also to its minor reputation, Languedoc is home to an air of experimentation which may promise to hail the sought after French wines of the next generation.\nLanguedoc is known for growing a great number of grapes, many of which are now dominated by New World producers, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. It is Languedoc\u2019s unique position as a French wine region with something to prove that has led to it forging a bridge between New and Old World wines. It is now a test bed for the blending of French and New World techniques. For example, producers in Languedoc sometimes label their wines by variety rather than by vineyard or locality.\nCoteaux de Languedoc\nUnlike the rest of France, very little is concrete in the way of appellations in Languedoc, and the biggest sub region, the \u2018Coteaux de Languedoc\u2019, created in 1985, is in a state of constant change, with no defined system of appellations. The result is that varietal wines are produced alongside vineyard wines, alongside wines from smaller regions within the \u2018Coteaux de Languedoc\u2019. This situation makes for fervour of activity and the development of wines that might otherwise have been stifled if a strict appellation system was applied.\nWithin the Coteaux de Languedoc reside three fairly well known wine producing zones - La Clape & Quatourze, Pic St Loup and Gr\u00e8s de Montpellier \u2013alongside some lesser zones. The first of these is well known for blended whites and reds which must consist of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre in the latter case and at least 40% Bourboulenc in the former case. Pic St Loup focuses on similar red blends, whilst Gr\u00e8s de Montpellier focuses on terroir driven wines.\nMiscellany of Languedoc Wines\nThe Languedoc is well known for a reputable sparkling wine called \u2018Cremant de Limoux\u2019 and also a fortified wine called \u2018Vins Doux Naturels\u2019. If that wasn\u2019t enough to convince one that this really is a region yet to be defined, bursting with potential and diversity, you may wish to know that some producers have started the habit (unprecedented in France) of producing wines with trendy branded names such as \u2018FAT Barstard\u2019 and \u2018Red Bicyclette\u2019. The former was concocted by a French vintner in conjunction with a British partner and aims to address the needless complexity that goes along with French wine labeling.\nOne cannot also help but be mildly amused at the way in which wines of this region tear up the rules whilst still offering quality wine, and at a lower price than their neighbours. Fat Barstard is actually a well respected drink of its kind, given its moniker due to its rich fullness!",

        "raw_content": "Writing a catchy PhD thesis introduction chapter\nIntroduction is a very vital part of the written material. Whether you write an essay, a speech, a book or a thesis paper it is very important to have an introduction. This is the part where you present your topic and give your reader an overview of what will you be discussing in the rest of your work.\nThe basic structure of an introduction\nYou should begin an introduction with a clear and definitive statement about your subject. First you introduce your subject and then gradually bring the reader to the point or question you will be dealing with. You do not have to explain all the subject in detail just present an overview and proceed to your topic.\nThis is where you will give your reader a background of the topic. You will show them why is it important and how has been it been dealt with before. You present the previous research on the topic and show how others have considered it.\nThe second step is to identify the gap in the previous research. You must be able to tell why you think this topic needed attention and where do the previous researchers lack in addressing the subject. This is the part where you have to raise a question or identify a problem that you will be basing the rest of your thesis upon.\nThis is the last part of the introduction where you have to present your idea of the concerned subject. This is where you will tell the reader that what you think of this problem and how in your opinion it could be solved. It is very important to provide a realistic solution that you can prove in rest of your thesis.\nAn introduction is very important part of the thesis as it forms the base of the complete research work. A catchy introduction should be able to engage the reader and make him want to learn more about the topic. This is what we call placing the hook in a writer terminology. The hook is the catch or the element that builds curiosity. Never reveal too much of information in the start let it be a mystery. If you give the reader everything in the beginning he will simply take it for granted and move away from your paper.",

In general, martensitic stainless steels have higher strength than austenitic stainless steels and ferritic stainless steels and can be strengthened by heat treatment, and have good mechanical properties and high temperature oxidation resistance.\nThe steel in the atmosphere, water and weak corrosive media such as saline solution, dilute nitric acid and some organic acids with low concentrations have good corrosive media at low temperatures.\nHowever, the steel does not resist the corrosion of strong acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and concentrated nitric acid, and is often used in weak corrosive media such as water, steam, and oil. Since chromium stainless steel can be strengthened by heat treatment, in order to avoid brittleness caused by excessive strength, the correct heat treatment process should be adopted.\nNext: Can you accopt O/A?\nPrevious: What is the steel of 6XB2C?",

        "raw_content": "Feasibility study for the proposed G-77 bank completed\nNAIROBI, Feb\u0097 A feasibility study for the proposed G-77 Trade and Development Bank, which will be based in Kenya, has been completed, a top G-77 official here said.\nWilliam Anyenda, who is the East African representative of the G-77 Chamber of Commerce and Industry, says the study was carried out by the state-owned Kenya Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) at a cost of 15.6 million shillings (One US dollar equals 60 Kenya shillings).\nThe study, which took about 20 months to compile, has already been submitted to the G-77 Chamber of Commerce and Industry secretariat in Lahore, Pakistan.\n\u0091\u0092The proposal is now in the safe hands of the G-77 Chamber of Commerce and Industry (G-77CCI) President, Mr Tariq Sayeed,\u0092\u0092 says Anyenda.\nHe says the feasibility study will be scrutinised by a G-77CCI Monitoring Committee before it is tabled for approval at a forthcoming G-77 bi-annual General Meeting scheduled to take place in Kampala, Uganda, in April 1998.\n\u0091\u0092We will all be there to defend the document which has been acclaimed by World Bank officials,\u0092\u0092 he says. \u0091\u0092It is a loophole-free masterpiece document that will easily pass the test.\u0092\u0092\nAnyenda says he is optimistic that the bank will open in Kenya soon. \u0091\u0092After almost 25 years of toying with the idea of the bank, it\u0092s like a dream come true,\u0092\u0092 he says.\nThe Kampala parley will also discuss the establishment of a re- insurance company to offer services to member countries, says Anyienda.\nThe idea of the G-77 bank was first mooted in November 1994, but it was during the 1996 G-77 Chamber of Commerce and Industry conference in Lahore that Kenya decided to host the headquarters of the bank in Nairobi.\nThe bank will require at least 3.4 million dollars from each member country -- there are currently 132 -- to meet its one- billion-dollar paid-up capital.\nThe bank is intended to provide the G-77 business community with a new source of finance. \u0091\u0092Once the bank is set up in Kenya, it will foster fast development in the region and in the other G- 77 member countries,\u0092\u0092 says Sid Ali Ketrandji, the Algerian ambassador to Kenya who is the current chairman of the G-77 Nairobi Chapter. He says the implementation of the bank will, however, depend on the member governments\u0092 support.\nKetrandji says the bank will address the pressing issues of financial support to developing countries. \u0091\u0092The bank will substantially increase the availability of export credit to G-77 countries at a lower cost,\u0092\u0092 he says.\n\u0091\u0092Once the feasibility study is endorsed and passed, without wasting much time, we\u0092ll advertise the bank\u0092s shares which will fall into four categories,\u0092\u0092 says Anyenda.\nThe first category of shares will go to G-77 Chamber of Commerce and Industry member countries. The others will go to sovereign states, international institutions and to the private investors.\n\u0091\u0092Due to the sovereign and quasi-sovereign share-holding of the bank, it will be necessary for the bank to be granted privileges comparable to those enjoyed by other international organisations,\u0092\u0092 says Anyenda.\nFor a bank to be granted privileged status, it must be established under an act of parliament or presidential decree of the host country. Anyenda sees no problem with this since it is the same government that sponsored the study. \u0091\u0092The money the government gave us for the study will automatically be converted into shares,\u0092\u0092 says Anyenda.",

        "title": "GeekRex | Top 5 Episodes of Doctor Who - Harper's Picks",
        "raw_content": "Top 5 Episodes of Doctor Who - Harper's Picks\nBy: Harper W. Harris Thursday, November 21, 2013 0 comments\nAnd now the last installment of our week of Doctor Who countdowns! You've seen Kyle and Hannah's picks, now I countdown my favorite episodes from the revived series. As if you need anything more to get you psyched up for the 50th Anniversary Special, airing this Saturday live worldwide!\n5. The Girl Who Waited (Series 6, Episode 10)\nI\u2019ll admit it--I love time travel paradoxes. When I started watching Doctor Who, I was slightly disappointed as they are typically quickly explained away with a few notable exceptions (Father\u2019s Day being a great one). Instead of having monsters that simply resolve paradoxes, this sixth season episode explores the moral consequences by having that resolution placed in the hands of The Doctor and Rory. Amy is accidentally left to fend for herself on a hostile planet for 36 years, but the younger version still exists. The Doctor and Rory essentially have to choose: do they save the young version of Amy or the bitter, war-hardened older version? It\u2019s a bit heart-breaking and more than a little thought-provoking, which makes it my number five!\n4. The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances (Series 1, Episodes 9/10)\nThe first season of the revived series had a few fits and starts, but its second two-parter is probably the best of Christopher Eccleston\u2019s time as The Doctor. Most Doctor Who episodes like to leave you in the dark for a while so that you solve the mystery as The Doctor and his companion do, and The Empty Child provides one of the strangest mysteries of all: in the middle of The Blitz of London, people are being contaminated by something that turns their faces into gas masks and has them repeat endlessly, \u201cAre you my mummy?\u201d Weaved into this interesting puzzle, Rose is introduced to the charming Jack Harkness (among Russell T. Davies\u2019 best creations) as a sort of \u2018cooler\u2019 version of The Doctor. It soon becomes clear that Jack is not as wonderful as he seems, and of course, The Doctor holds the moral high ground as he begins to discover what is going on. The explanation for the curious disease is among the cleverest of the series, but the triangle of The Doctor, Rose, and Jack is what really sells this one. The three have an interesting chemistry of romance, jealousy, and one-upmanship that is quite entertaining, and the classically creepy empty child provides the perfect catalyst for them to come together.\n3. The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit (Series 2, Episodes 8/9)\nDoctor Who rarely ventures into fantasy or religious territory, but that\u2019s what makes this one so interesting. It\u2019s full of juicy sci-fi tidbits: a planet impossibly orbiting a black hole, the telepathic aliens known as the Ood, and The Doctor wearing a spacesuit! The episode turns towards the horror side of things when we start to realize that some ancient, evil presence is taking over members of the crew. Although the possession voice is a bit on the hokey side, the red-eyed Ood are a mysterious, creepy threat. Soon, the Doctor heads down into an sealed pit and encounters...Satan. Yep, you read that right. The Doctor confronts the real, absolute evil that is as old as the universe. The juxtaposition of hard, space-based science fiction with a physical version of a philosophical concept makes this two-parter a unique one that elevates The Doctor quite literally into God territory.\n2. Midnight (Series 4, Episode 10)\nOne of the things that drew me to Doctor Who in the first place is its ability to do a lot with a little; in general, it relies more on clever storytelling and great characters than on fancy special effects. Midnight is an absolutely shining example of this. The episode begins lightly enough, with The Doctor and Donna vacationing on the Planet Midnight. However, as the ominous name of the planet suggests, things soon get quite dark. While in a shuttle to see a sapphire waterfall, shielded from the planet\u2019s poisonous sunlight, the Doctor and the other passengers get stranded. There is some unknown, unseen creature that wants in the shuttle, and it does so by \u2018stealing voices\u2019. It possesses a woman, who then repeats what everyone is saying, but the delay on the repetition shortens until she is speaking simultaneously with the others. This is an incredibly creepy way to portray an alien incursion, and it immediately draws out the worst in the shuttle\u2019s passengers, who plot to throw her outside. This episode does what all great sci-fi should do: it shows the worst in us, but shows how we can become better. Midnight is one of the most tense, brilliantly suspenseful, and simply executed episodes of the series.\n1. Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead (Series 4, Episodes 8/9)\nIt starts simply enough as a visit to the universe\u2019s largest library. It soon becomes one of the most complex stories in Doctor Who--at least the most complex that is resolved with minimal handwavium. There are so many wonderful concepts thrown into this one: the introduction of River Song (before she was overused), who befriends the Doctor in reverse chronological order; the Vashda Nerada, the living shadows who create the coolest looking monster ever, a skeleton in a spacesuit(!); a moon that is one giant external hard drive; communication devices that store and repeat thoughts, even after death; the list goes on and on. This two-parter sees the Doctor at his most fragile and frustrated, while Donna fights to escape a suspicious paradise. These two episodes are equal parts terrifying and wonderful, classic and inventive. Plus, it\u2019s got one of the series\u2019 most clever explanations, one that makes you say, \u201cI can\u2019t believe I didn\u2019t figure it out!\u201d I won\u2019t spoil it, just go watch it. Now!\nMake sure to include all these great episodes in your own 50th Anniversary Special preparation marathons! See Kyle's and Hannah's picks for more great suggestions.

        "raw_content": "World's Best Trade Finance Providers 2017\nRegulatory compliance costs contribute to a growing global shortage of trade finance, particularly in emerging markets.\nBEST BANK FOR TRADE FINANCE\nWith a global network of more than 100 trade centers in 60 of the 74 countries where it operates, BNP Paribas provides a wide range of trade finance solutions, including structured finance and customized supply-chain management, as well as Web-based platforms. The bank works with more than 40,000 corporations across all industries worldwide and handles more than 14 million trade transactions a year. BNP Paribas offers databases and services to help corporate clients prospect internationally for trade partners. The bank has initiated a groupwide drive to digitize all of its activities and has been investigating the use of blockchain technology and distributed ledgers since 2011.\nBEST MULTILATERAL INSTITUTION FOR TRADE FINANCE\nThe EBRD\u2019s Trade Facilitation Program (TFP) includes more than 100 issuing banks in 23 countries in Central and Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. The issuing banks work with more than 800 confirming banks worldwide. The TFP provides cover for a broad range of trade finance instruments and can be used to guarantee against political and commercial payment risk. The TFP also provides short-term loans to banks and factoring companies for lending to local exporters and importers. The countries where it has been most active recently include Ukraine, Armenia, Cyprus, Belarus and Serbia, according to the EBRD.\nBEST BANK FOR COMMODITY FINANCE\nUtrecht, Netherlands-based Rabobank has offices worldwide staffed with experts in trade and commodities. The bank has long been active in financing global trade in agricultural commodities, energy and metals. Rabobank offers specialized products at every stage of the trade flow. The bank confirms and discounts large volumes of export letters of credit. It also provides ownership-based financing solutions, as an alternative to regular financing, through its structured inventory products.\nBEST TRADE-DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT\nTrade finance historically has been a paper-intensive business. BofA Merrill Lynch\u2019s CashPro Trade platform streamlines the process of document identification and retrieval through the use of innovative data-capture technology. The bank created the document images module based on direct input from numerous trade clients. Using intelligent character recognition and optical character recognition (ICR/OCR) technology, the application recognizes metadata (such as invoice numbers and transaction amounts) during a document search. The bank says the tool simplifies trade document processing and compliance checking.\nBEST TRADE CREDIT INSURANCE PROVIDER\nResolving the problem of unpaid invoices is no small matter in international trade. Coface, a subsidiary of French bank Natixis, offers trade credit insurance in more than 200 countries. It has experienced emerging market losses recently, mainly in Latin America and Asia, but has adopted stricter underwriting guidelines and is focusing more on profitability than on growth. Coface offers many options to cover various types of risk, including nonpayment due to a war or currency transfer restriction, and manufacturing costs when the buyer becomes insolvent before the goods are delivered. Coface\u2019s client retention rate remains strong, at about 90%.\nBEST BANK FOR EXPORT FINANCE\nAbout 20% of the eurozone\u2019s exports go through Commerzbank, the most active bank for processing German export letters of credit. For the 12th straight year, in 2016, Commerzbank confirmed more letters of credit and guarantees for the EBRD\u2019s Trade Facilitation Programme than did any other bank. More than 100 issuing banks in 19 countries have used Commerzbank as a confirming bank under the TFP. With a presence in more than 50 countries, and 5,000 correspondent-banking relationships, Commerzbank settles more than $100 billion of trade transactions annually. It is the leading trade bank for German small and medium enterprises, and it also provides complex project finance cover for large machinery exporters.\nBEST BANK FOR STRUCTURED TRADE FINANCE\nANZ offers a broad array of structured trade and commodity finance products. Its specialized team of structured trade bankers focuses mainly on financing cross-border commodity flows in order to enhance the credit rating of the facility beyond that of the borrower. Each arrangement is tailored to the specific needs of the client. Products include warehouse financing, pre-export finance and reserve-based lending. ANZ also offers borrowing-base financing, whereby working-capital financing is structured on a client\u2019s inventory and receivables.\nSociete Generale offers strong trade expertise in more than 50 countries, including 18 in Africa and 15 in Central and Eastern Europe. In North Africa, the bank has a high penetration rate in trade finance in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria. It says it is the leading bank in Cameroon and Cote d\u2019Ivoire, and number two in Senegal. In CEE, Societe Generale claims to be the third-largest bank in the Czech Republic, number two in Romania, and the second-largest private bank in Russia (Rosbank). It has a close working relationship with the Russian Export Insurance Agency.\nBEST BANK FOR TRADE FINANCE IN FRONTIER MARKETS\nStandard Chartered is a leading global trade finance bank, processing $100 billion of exports annually, including letters of credit, documentary collections and invoice financing. The UK-based bank has a direct presence in 15 African countries. Through its alliance network, it provides coverage to an additional 23 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Standard Chartered is the first foreign-owned bank with an on-the-ground presence in Iraq. It offers a strong portfolio of Islamic banking products in the Middle East region.",

Retrieved from http://www.hawaiilibrary.net/\nAbstract: The current realization of the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) is defined in terms of a Helmert transformation from the International Terrestrial Reference Frame of 2000 (ITRF00). The parameters of this transformation were chosen, in part, so that horizontal NAD 83 velocities would be zero on average for point interior to the North American tectonic plate. Unfortunately, islands located in the Pacific Ocean move horizontally by as much as several centimeters per year relative to the North American plate. To address this motion, this document introduces two new spatial reference frames in terms of transformations from ITRF00, one frame for regions located on the Pacific tectonic plate (Hawaiian Islands, Marshall Islands, American Samoa) and one for regions located on the Mariana tectonic plate (Guam, Rota, Saipan). For each frame, points located interior to the corresponding tectonic plate are to have little or no horizontal velocity relative to this frame. The Pacific-plate-fixed frame is to be designated as NAD 83 (PACP00) and the Mariana-plate-fixed frame as NAD 83 (MARP00). These frames are defined so that their positional coordinates are consistent with corresponding positional coordinates of the current NAD 83 realization for an epoch date of 14 AUG 1993.",

        "raw_content": "We've all heard the saying \"the ends justify the means.\" Taken at face value this pragmatic truth suggests that, if the end result is good, any and all of the means used to get that result are deemed acceptable. At first glance, we might agree. But a deeper look shows that any result achieved through evil means cannot possibly be the highest good that could have been accomplished if we had employed only good means. Ethically, we are better off phrasing it as \"the end must also define the means.\"\nAristotle, the father of ethical discourse as we moderns know it, had a lot to say about \"means\" and \"ends.\" In fact, his ethical system was built entirely on the notion that there had to be a \"highest\" good. In every field, be it medicine, war, commerce, politics religion, or art, Aristotle argued the best actions were those that moved the person toward the highest good. Throughout his writings, this concept of the highest good provided the constant measurement of the virtue of all things. That which brought about the highest good was determined to be of the highest virtue.\nAnd so, ethicists and regular folk like you and me have engaged in the argument about what constitutes the highest good. Practically speaking, most naturally believe the highest good is personal happiness, or at least it appears that way from the way they conduct themselves. But hedonism has never had staying power, even among those who appear to have the most happiness. Look around at those you think have the greatest resources and opportunities for happiness and you will find they suffer the same amount of discouragement, fatigue, tragedy, and sadness as the rest of us.\nWealth is often seen as the highest good, particularly by those who don't have it. But again, wealth is never really the highest good, for even those who attain some measure of financial security do so not for wealth's sake, but so they can use that wealth to attain whatever they believe is the higher good.\nOther contenders for highest good status are fame and power, but these also are regularly compromised, often morphing into fountains spewing pain and injustice. As Lord Acton warned us, \"power corrupts, and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely.\"\nUsually about this time in the argument the thought arrives that the highest good can never be determined by our individual desires. The highest good must lie somewhere outside of us, outside of our natural tendency to selfishness, and self-driven manipulation of our world. The highest good must have something to do with the welfare of others.\nMost of the ancient philosophers came to the conclusion that the highest good had everything to do with what was best for society. This lies at the base of most political systems, at least overtly. Democracy believes the highest good of society is created and preserved by the ongoing participation of the governed in the governing. And while we would all agree that societal benefit is a higher good than personal benefit, it is still the case that we usually are swayed by our sense of personal benefit in declaring what is best for society. We see it all the time. We want those political and governmental actions that will make us happiest. Once again, the highest good has been hijacked by our innate desire to feel good. It appears that, arguments and logic to the side, the chief end of mankind by nature is personal well-being. And yet, we all know that such self-centered focus can never achieve the very happiness we crave.\nIn the late 1640's the Westminster Divines gathered and contemplated the question of the highest good. I believe they got it right when they said that \"the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.\" That puts the highest good where it belongs: in God. But their wisdom is especially evident in the second part. They realized true happiness in man is only be found as a byproduct of man's submission to His Maker. The enjoyment of life and love that we by nature crave will only be found as we live beyond ourselves in submission to Almighty God. As John Piper has so eloquently stated it \"we will be most satisfied when God is most glorified.\" And that is my nomination for the highest good, all around.\n\u2190 Majority Rule and Personal BeliefsThe Ethics of Tribalism \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Why Hire a Tree Care Company?\nComments Off on Why Hire a Tree Care Company?\nMany homeowners who do yard work think they are up to the ask when it comes to tree care, but they may find that they\u2019re in for a rude awakening. For the sake of safety and efficiency, you need to enlist the help of a professional. Professional Arborists have the know-how and the resources to complete the job to your satisfaction, and you don\u2019t even have to lift a finger. Let\u2019s talk about more benefits of enlisting a professional to assist you with your arboring needs.\nThere are many risks to run with working with trees. You may need to use a chainsaw, which used improperly could lead to a serious injury. If the tree needs to be trimmed is close to a power line, there is a very real chance that you could be electrocuted. Again, professionals have the experience and equipment to perform the task safely and effectively.\nIf any of your arboring projects are in close proximity to your home, you need to be extra precautious so your work doesn\u2019t lead to any property damage. If an experienced person attempts at a tough project, there\u2019s no telling what could go wrong, or what kind of damage could be caused.\nKeep Your Trees Healthy\nIf a tree is pruned incorrectly, it could be detrimental to the health of the tree, which would invite infection and disease upon it.

Not sure if that means I'm learning to dig deep or I've fallen into a rut.\nI can certainly see that I default placing my character on the right hand side. That the face is bigger than the body. That I always use different eyes to the face, regardless. And yes, i'm favouring printing out my quotes, than writing them in.\nThe collage this time is not so minimal as before. The face is made up of three sections plus the lipsticks. And the body isn't a standalone either, I've added a tomato under the arm.\nThe one new tool I've used in this layout is a Fude Ball Pen. Around the quotes. It writes beautifully. The flow of ink is the best I've ever encountered. But I have to say the black ink looks fairly weak used over the acrylic paint background. It pales next to using a Posca pen. So I'll need to experiment to see where I can use it to its best potential in future designs.",

It results from a combination of anatomic factors and nasal inflammation due to environmental allergies or irritants. It can also lead to sinusitis, which is inflammation of the sinus cavities, and can cause chronic symptoms such as facial pressure/pain, poor sense of smell, runny nose and post nasal drip. At Indigo ENT, we have specialists who can accurately diagnose and manage this common problem and improve your quality of life.\nSnoring is one the most common complaints from bed partners. It is commonly associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) but is not mutually exclusive. It is important to have a comprehensive assessment, provided by Indigo ENT, to ascertain the severity. Whatever the diagnosis, we are here to help you find a solution.\nEpistaxis, also known as nose bleeds, is a common complaint. It may cause significant concern, especially among parents of young child children but is rarely life threatening. Most bleeds are benign, self-limiting and spontaneous. Ask your family physician for a referral if your bleeds are recurrent and we can help manage this condition.\nEar infections can affect the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Depending on which part of the ear is affected, the symptoms vary but can include pain, foul smelling discharge, bleeding, hearing loss and dizziness. Treatment also depends on which part of the ear is affected and can include antibiotic drops, debridement of the ear, placement of a tube in the ear, oral antibiotics and/or steroids. Our physician experts are well-equipped to diagnose and treat these common conditions, helping you get back to normal life as quickly as possible.\nEar symptoms represent the most common reason people seek out their family physicians. Common ear complaints include ear fullness or blockage, drainage, pain, hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ear) and dizziness. We know that these symptoms can have a significant effect on quality of life, can be quite disabling and may affect one\u2019s ability to function both socially and professionally. We have comprehensive audiologic testing and experts ready to discuss your symptoms and offer the best treatment possible.\nTumors of the head and neck can be benign or malignant. Depending on the location, size, appearance and progression as well as associated symptoms, these lesions can be quickly identified. Ask your physician for a referral to see our Indigo ENT physicians for a timely consultation.\nPrivate consultation which includes a comprehensive history, physical with video endoscopy and audiometry (if required) is a flat rate of $500. We provide service to customers within BC, nationally or internationally. If any other therapies/procedures are required, please ask your specialist for rates and services provided\u2026\nTonsillitis, or infection of the tonsils, can be caused by viruses or bacteria and can affect people of all ages. Sometimes infections of the tonsils can be particularly severe or recurrent, requiring treatment that goes above and beyond the need for antibiotics. Even in the absence of recurrent infections, some patients are bothered by a chronic irritation of their tonsils which may be associated with halitosis (bad breath) caused by the accumulation of tonsilloliths (foul-smelling debris, or stones) within them. Our medical experts would be happy to discuss the various management options for these common conditions with you.\nAll of our physicians are available for consultation for a wide variety of pediatric consultations. The most common consultations we see are for recurrent ear infections, snoring, enlarged tonsils and adenoids and recurrent tonsillitis. However there are more unusual consultations such as voice disorders, noisy breathing as well as head and neck masses. We would be happy to assess your child and address any concerns you may have.\nWe have three major salivary glands which are the submandibular, sublingual and parotid glands. These can occasionally become infected, blocked or swell which can be painful and occasionally cause dry mouth. Causes are numerous but most commonly include bacterial/viral infection, stone or sludge blockage of the salivary ducts. Rare disorders such as Sjogren\u2019s syndrome can cause dry mouth, dry eyes and gland swelling. This can be diagnosed with a careful history, bloodwork and a minor salivary gland biopsy. Consult with your physician if you are having these symptoms and we would be happy to assess.\nAs trained Head & Neck Surgeons, we have intimate knowledge of the facial musculature and anatomy. This provides us with a unique knowledgeable background to perform many of the cosmetic procedures. Currently we focus on Botox treatments for frown lines, worry lines, crow\u2019s feet, smoker\u2019s lines, rejuvenating the lower jaw line, masseter hypertrophy, platysmal (neck) bands and hyperhidrosis. Laser treatments for scar revision, benign lesions, snoring and facial rejuvenation will also be offered in the near future.",

        "raw_content": "Home/Conditions We Treat/Hearing Loss, Tinnitus & Vertigo/Hearing Loss\nHearing Loss gssi 2017-07-05T13:45:39+00:00\nHearing Loss Procedures\nHearing loss is the 3rd most common health problem. There are different types of hearing loss. Some can be improved with surgery while others cannot. Appropriate treatment for hearing loss depends on complete evaluation of a patient\u2019s medical history, physical exam of the ear and audiologic testing. The Indigo ENT group works closely with skilled audiologists and hearing aid specialists to offer the best evaluation and treatment according to your type of hearing loss.\nA tympanostomy tube (also known as a grommet, T-tube, ear tube, pressure equalization tube, vent, PE tube or myringotomy tube) is a small tube inserted into the eardrum in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear. This can be safely performed under local anesthesia in the office for adult patients. Pediatric patients generally require sedation in the hospital.\nTympanoplasty, also called middle ear repair, refers to surgery performed to reconstruct a perforated tympanic membrane (eardrum) and/or the small bones of the middle ear. Eardrum perforation may result from chronic infection, inflammation, cyst/tumor formation, chronic negative pressure, tubes or trauma. This is a very effective procedure but does depend on the size and location of the perforation. Results also depend on whether there is any middle ear scarring or middle ear bone abnormality that is related.\nThis procedure is typically performed under general anesthetic in the hospital setting.\nEpidisc Assisted Myringoplasty\nMyringoplasty simply means patching of the ear drum. For certain perforations, this can be the ideal in office surgery performed under local anesthetic. It can use a combination of fat or cartilage as well as the aid of the Epidisc to help close a perforation. Ask your specialist about the benefits of this procedure and if it is appropriate for you.\nA mastoidectomy is a surgical procedure that removes diseased mastoid air cells. These cells sit behind your ear in a hollow space in your skull. The diseased cells are often the result of an ear infection that has spread from your ear and requires surgical drainage if maximal medical treatment has not been successful. Mastoidectomy may also be performed along with tympanoplasty in cases where ear cysts (cholesteatoma) extend from the middle ear to the mastoid. In this case the mastoidectomy can help to ensure complete disease removal. Mastoidectomy is performed under general anesthesia in the hospital setting.\nAn ossicular chain reconstruction is an operation to repair, reconstruct and improve the movement of the tiny bones of hearing in the middle ear. These bones may have become damaged or less mobile due to infection or disease such as long-standing middle ear infection (chronic otitis media), trauma such as a head injury or previous surgery, from a tympanic membrane retraction or cyst (cholesteatoma) or even from genetic causes, in some cases. Talk to your specialist about whether this procedure is right for you.\nTranstympanic Steroid Injections\nIn the event of a sudden hearing loss, it is important to receive urgent treatment with oral steroids with or without an antiviral medication for 7-10 days. Research has shown improved hearing recovery if treatment is initiated within 72 hours of the onset of the hearing loss. If the hearing loss persists, a liquid steroid medication (dexamethasone) can be injected through the ear drum into the middle ear space. This has been shown through research to improve the rate of hearing recovery in up to 40% of patients who failed to respond to oral therapy. The procedure is completed in the office using topical anesthetic on the ear drum called phenol. A series of weekly injections is performed (up to 4 weeks) until full hearing recovery is demonstrated. Complications are rare including ear drum perforation, ear infection, temporary dizziness and ear fullness.\nSudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), commonly known as sudden deafness, occurs as an unexplained, rapid loss of hearing\u2014usually in one ear\u2014either at once or over several days. It should be considered a medical emergency. Anyone who experiences SSNHL should visit a doctor immediately. Sometimes, people with SSNHL put off seeing a doctor because they think their hearing loss is due to allergies, a sinus infection, earwax plugging the ear canal, or other common conditions. However, delaying SSNHL diagnosis and treatment may decrease the effectiveness of treatment.\nNine out of ten people with SSNHL lose hearing in only one ear. SSNHL is diagnosed by conducting a hearing test. If the test shows a loss of at least 30 decibels (decibels are a measure of sound) in three connected frequencies (frequency is a measure of pitch\u2014high to low), the hearing loss is diagnosed as SSNHL. As an example, a hearing loss of 30 decibels would make conversational speech sound more like a whisper.\nMany people notice that they have SSNHL when they wake up in the morning. Others first notice it when they try to use the deafened ear, for example when going to use a phone. Still others notice a loud, alarming \u201cpop\u201d just before their hearing disappears. People with sudden deafness may experience dizziness, have ringing in their ear or both.\nAbout half of people with SSNHL will recover some or all of their hearing spontaneously, usually within one to two weeks from onset. Treatment is best received within 72 hours of developing the hearing loss.",

Requests for participation in the tools exhibition must be sent to the Tools Exhibition Chair before June 1, 2012 (see Call for Papers for details). They should include a link to the web pages for the tool (or a short description of the tool). The demonstrators bring their own machines, while the organisers may be requested to give access to the Internet.\nhttp://www-dssz.informatik.tu-cottbus.de/snoopy.html\nThe tool Snoopy provides a unifying Petri net framework which has particularly many application scenarios in systems and synthetic biology. The framework consists of two levels: uncoloured and coloured. Each level comprises a family of related Petri net classes, sharing structure, but being specialized by their kinetic information. Petri nets of all net classes within one level can be converted into each other, while changing the level involves user-guided folding or automatic unfolding. Models can be hierarchically structured, allowing for the mastering of larger networks. Snoopy supports the simultaneous use of several Petri net classes; the graphical user interface adapts dynamically to the active one. Built-in animation and simulation (depending on the net class) are complemented by export to various analysis tools. Snoopy facilitates the extension by new Petri net classes thanks to its generic design.\nGrade/CPNi\nhttp://cpntools.org/gradecpn/start\nGrade/CPN is a tool for automatically grading several student assignments using CPN Tools. The tool allows teachers to create a generic base model with an interface intended to be filled out by students. Students fill in the missing parts and this can be tested against a formal specification and other formal requirements and assigned scores based on a configuration set up by the teacher. Grade/CPN provides an overview of the overall scores of all students as well as individual reports for each student with scores and reasons for each score.\nCPN Assistant II\nhttps://sites.google.com/site/cpnassistant/\nCPN Assistant II is a simulation management tool for CPN Tools (version 3). It allows to prepare, run and manage multiple simulation jobs on a single computer or in a networked environment. For each simulation job a net, a number of simulation runs and transition firings per run and a selection of monitors to be processed can be specified. The simulation jobs are automatically distributed to available computers and run. Data acquired by each of the selected monitors during an execution of given simulation job are merged and stored as a text file at a specified location. Post-processing of the data is possible, too.\nhttp://webdiis.unizar.es/GISED/?q=tool/peabrain\nPeabraiN tool is a collection of PIPE (Platform Independent Petri net Editor) modules for computing bounds, resource optimisation, and other properties on the Petri nets (PNs).

Queueing Petri Nets are a combination of conventional queueing networks and stochastic Petri nets providing increased expressiveness and thus making it possible to model systems at a higher degree of accuracy. QPME is made of two components: QPE (QPN Editor) and SimQPN (Simulator for QPNs). QPE provides a user-friendly graphical tool for modeling using QPNs based on the Eclipse/GEF framework. SimQPN provides an efficient discrete event simulation engine for QPNs that makes it possible to analyze models of realistically-sized systems.

It can check an information flow security property that basically says that an observer cannot infer on the occurrence of H transitions. It does so by translating the problems into a large number of reachability problems which are passed to the LoLA verification tool. It turns out that this approach is significantly more efficient than original methods which investigate that whole state space. The reason is that, for all generated reachability problems, LoLA is able to produce a reduced state space.\nhttp://www.service-technology.org/tools/lola/\nLoLA is an explicit state space generation tool for place/transition nets that is capable of applying a large number of state space reduction techniques in combination.

        "title": "Study suggests students grow less interested in promoting racial understanding",
        "raw_content": "Backwards on Racial Understanding\nThe longer students are in college, the less likely they are to be interested in promoting understanding across lines of race and ethnicity, study finds.\nOne stereotype about college is that the experience encourages students to be more interested in diversity and promoting racial understanding. To some this is a great virtue of higher education; to critics, this suggests academe is too focused on diversity. What if they are all wrong?\nA new study being presented at this year's annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association suggests that as undergraduates progress in higher education, they become less interested, on average, in promoting racial understanding. The study finds that this is true across racial groups -- although it finds some characteristics of the college experience that may make students more interested in racial understanding as they proceed from freshman to senior year.\nThe study is by Jesse D. Rude, a principal research analyst at NORC at the University of Chicago; Gregory C. Wolniak, a senior research scientist at NORC at the University of Chicago; and Ernest Pascarella, the Mary Louise Petersen Professor of Higher Education at the University of Iowa. They used survey data of students at 6 liberal arts colleges and 11 universities collected by the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education.\nStudents were asked: \"How important to you personally is helping to promote racial understanding?\" The researchers write that they selected this as the question because, unlike questions about \"openness to diversity\" or \"other more abstract notions of tolerance,\" this question \"attempts to capture respondents\u2019 personal commitment to improving racial understanding and may be less prone to social desirability bias.\" Students were asked the question upon arriving at college, at the end of their freshman year, and at the end of their senior year.\nRanking the importance of promoting racial understanding on a four-point scale, African American students started off with the highest score (above 3.2), followed by Hispanics (just below 3.2), Asians (around 2.9) and whites (just under 2.5). All four groups were lower at the end of their freshman year, and lower as well by their senior year. Asians showed some rebound between the end of freshman year and senior year, but still ended up at a lower point than where they started.\nImportance to College Students of Promoting Racial Understanding, on Scale of 1-4\nGroup Start of Frosh Year End of Frosh Year Senior Year\nWhite 2.47 2.32 2.31\nBlack 3.26 3.18 2.95\nLatino 3.13 2.93 2.82\nThe researchers write that \"contrary to our expectations, the average change in racial attitudes during the first year and over the entire four-year period is in a negative direction.\" In between the start and end of freshman year, 30.5 percent said that promoting racial understanding was less important at the end, while only 17.3 percent thought it was more important. (The rest didn't change.) Between the start and end of college, more students \"trend negative\" (33.8 percent) than positive (21.4 percent), the study finds.\nThe paper's authors say these data challenge the conventional wisdom about college and race: the findings suggest that for most students, being in college has no impact on a desire to promote racial understanding, and that those who change do so in the direction of being less committed to intergroup understanding.\nThe research doesn't yield information on why the students change as they do, but the study looked for correlations between certain college experiences (in and out of the classroom) and found that any of these four circumstances increase the chances that college will leave students more committed to promoting racial understanding: interracial friendships, frequent discussions with other-race students, frequent discussions with faculty members whose views differ from their own, and taking courses that focus on diverse cultures and perspectives.\nThose findings leave the authors seeing the possibility that college could be a force that encourages students to be more committed to promoting racial understanding. But if many students lack those experiences, they may not care.\n\"These findings cast doubt on research and conventional wisdom that argues for the liberalizing effects of higher education on racial attitudes. Instead, it suggests that, for some students, negative experiences with diversity may dampen the relatively progressive racial views they hold when entering college,\" write the authors in their conclusion.\nBut they add: \"An implication of these findings for postsecondary institutions with racially diverse campuses is that efforts to broaden students\u2019 racial views should extend beyond multicultural course requirements. Colleges that can take steps that promote environments conducive for cross-race friendship and other forms of positive interaction may have an even greater impact on students\u2019 racial attitudes.\"\nAnother Year of Sexist Signs for Female Frosh\nTexas State Promotes Free Frosh (MOOC) Year\nWhen 10% of Frosh at a Flagship Are From China",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home \u00bb News \u00bb Shipyards & Shipbuilding \u00bb SunStone Ships orders second expedition cruise vessel from Ulstein\nIn 2017, Ulstein Design & Solutions AS announced their first design and equipment contract on an X-BOW expedition cruise vessel for ship owner SunStone Ships.\nThe contract included nine options, and the first option has now been declared.\nThe first vessel for SunStone, which has received the name \u2018Greg Mortimer\u2019, is well underway at the CMHI (China Merchants Heavy Industry) yard and is set to sail off for her first cruise after her completion in Q4 2019. This vessel, as well as the next one, has been chartered by the Australian Aurora Expeditions.\n\u201cWe decided to partner up with Ulstein due to their hull and the technical design, as well as their site team in China to supervise the production,\u201d said Niels-Erik Lund, President/CEO SunStone Ships when announcing the first vessel. He stated:\n\u201cIt was of utmost importance that we developed an expedition cruise vessel of high quality and with proven design and technology. Ulstein has designed more than 105 vessels with the X-BOW design. These hulls have been developed for rough weather, high comfort and great fuel efficiency.\u201d\nTore Ulstein, deputy CEO in Ulstein Group and COO Design & Solutions comments: \u201cWe are pleased that SunStone starts to declare their options with CMHI. This shows that our designs and solutions fulfil their expectations. In addition to the design and equipment package, we will support the yard with a site team. This includes pre-commissioning and commissioning, testing and sea trial assistance. When the SunStone vessels start cruising, we believe they will be highly attractive to the expedition cruise passengers.\u201d\nUlstein\u2019s contract is with the China Merchants Group (CMG), China, and the vessels will be built at their yard. This second ship is scheduled for delivery in August 2020.\nUlstein is responsible for the delivery of the design and equipment package with all main equipment being of proven technology and from well-known manufacturers in Europe.\nThe expedition cruise vessels are the first of their kind in which the ULSTEIN X-BOW\u00ae hull design has been implemented. The shape of the X-BOW enables the passengers to stand at the bow and look directly down to where the waves meet the hull. The bow leads to reduced ship movements, and therefore a more comfortable stay. The X-BOW has a tapered fore ship shape to pierce waves of all heights, resulting in reduced pitching and bow impact loads in rough seas. It prevents the vessel from rising on the waves and dropping violently onto the water\u2019s surface. The vessel needs less fuel to cut through the waves, reducing fuel costs and energy use, and thus reducing emissions.\nIt's not just the X-BOW\u00ae that makes these ships stand out. The layout is designed for indoor excellence and outdoor experiences. Observation decks and balconies offer a range of views to the spectacular surroundings. A high-class restaurant and bar serve all-day delicacies and refreshments.\nThe ULSTEIN CX103 expedition cruise ship is 104.3 metres long and 18.4 metres wide. The SunStone vessels are part of the Infinity Class, in which the passenger capacity can range from 130 to 200, and the crew capacity from 85 to 115. The hull will be built according to Polar Code 6, Category B, with a dynamic positioning system and zero-speed stabilisers.",

        "raw_content": "George McGovern and Colorado\u2019s \u201cTent City\u201d on the Prairie\nOctober 23, 2012 / Archaeology, General\nThe many obituaries of the American politician George McGovern published in the aftermath of his death last Sunday mention that he earned a PhD in History from Northwestern University. But other than that they offer precious few details about George McGovern\u2019s life as a historian and scholar. My colleague Jonathan Rees at Colorado State University-Pueblo fills the gap with an appreciation of McGovern\u2019s historical work (\u201cGeorge McGovern: Historian\u201d) posted yesterday to the Historical Society Blog. McGovern\u2019s 1972 book The Great Coalfield War (co-authored with Leonard Guttridge and published in the year of McGovern\u2019s candidacy for president of the United States) is a seminal text for understanding the 1913-14 southern Colorado coal miner\u2019s strike. This 15 month-long strike culminated in perhaps the most dramatic example of open class warfare in American history, the infamous Ludlow Massacre.\nLudlow Tent Colony, View from Railroad Tower Looking East\nBetween 1997-2007 I researched the Colorado coalfield strike as Co-Director (with my fellow anthropologists Phil Duke and Randy McGuire) of The Colorado Coal Field War Project. This project was generously supported by grants from the Colorado State Historical Fund. It included the first-ever archaeological investigation of the most important of the miner\u2019s strike camps, the Ludlow Tent Colony or, as it\u2019s described by some locals in southeastern Colorado, the Ludlow \u201cTent City.\u201d Ludlow was the largest of a dozen such strikers\u2019 camps. It was strategically located on windswept prairie at the mouth of a canyon that led up to the coal mines. Ludlow consisted of about 200 tents and housed around 1200 people. Our archaeological work produced several key insights about striker life at the colony: how the occupants organized their built environment, how they provisioned themselves, and how they survived one of the worst winters in Colorado history.\nLudlow Tent Colony, Street Level View\nSeveral of our research findings are relevant to the concerns of this blog. In keeping with the commitments of an \u201cIntercultural City\u201d there was no apparent ethnic segregation of families within the colony (24 different languages\u2014mostly eastern and southern European\u2014were spoken in the southern Colorado coal camps and mine shafts). Based on the stratigraphic positioning of artifacts within cellars dug beneath the tents it appears that colony residents attempted to forge solidarity through the everyday use of certain shared items of material culture. For example, use of plainware ceramics seems to have been preferred over finely decorated Victorian teawares, as the latter would have signaled different social statuses and/or social-climbing ambitions. In other words, strikers sought in their daily practices to emphasize a shared working class identity. The tents were arranged to maximize security and impede surveillance of the interior by passers-by, especially coal company officials and professional strikebreakers. A concerted effort was made to present a \u201ccivilized\u201d face to the outside world as a way to combat early 20th century racist stereotypes about immigrants as unclean, ignorant, and naturally violent. The tent city as portrayed in historical documents and photographs evince concerns for health, cleanliness, family, community, and civic order. Our archaeological excavations also suggest that contemporary state militia reports may have purposely over-estimated the amount of weapons and ammo\u2013the number of WMDs, if you will\u2013possessed by the strikers as a way to exaggerate the threat that they posed to public safety and, by extension, justify the militia\u2019s assault on the colony on April 20, 1914. In short, our archaeological work supplements, enriches, and even corrects the established historical record of the strike.\nFamily at Ludlow\nLike Jonathan, I had a personal encounter with George McGovern at the April 2004 fundraiser for the Bessemer Historical Society. After the event Phil Duke and I ferried the Senator back to his hotel along with our significant others. The five of us had drinks in the lobby lounge. We talked a bit about Ludlow. But mostly we talked about the 1972 presidential campaign. As Jonathan notes, it was hard to stay away from that topic and, like Jonathan, we were treated to some of the Senator\u2019s favorite reflections about his opponent (\u201cI would rather be me right now than Richard Nixon\u201c; and \u201cNixon was incredibly intelligent, but completely amoral\u201d). The Senator was accommodating and gracious throughout the evening.\nGeorge McGovern at Ludlow Memorial Service, June 29, 2008 (D. Saitta)\nIn 2008 I again met up with Senator McGovern when he visited the Ludlow Tent Colony site to speak at the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) annual June memorial service remembering victims of the Ludlow Massacre. That day I had the honor of batting lead-off for a line-up of speakers that included Senator McGovern and the fiery United Mine Workers of America president Cecil Roberts. The June memorial service is never for the faint of heart, and it was especially energized with McGovern and Roberts in the house. Cecil can wave the union flag and excite a crowd like no one else. But McGovern was no slouch. I recall the Senator giving us a taste of what Jonathan, in his Historical Society Blog post, describes as the \u201cbarely concealed anger and pro-union language\u201d of McGovern\u2019s original dissertation about the southern Colorado coalfield troubles. The dissertation served as the basis for The Great Coalfield War, but was sanitized in 1972 for a polite election year readership.\nMe and the UMWA\u2019s Bob Butero at the Ludlow Memorial Service, June 28, 2009\nSenator McGovern\u2019s historical scholarship is significant because it paved the way for more recent Ludlow histories (e.g., the books by Scott Martelle and Thomas Andrews) and historical archaeologies (e.g., my book and a collection of essays edited by Karin Larkin and Randy McGuire). The 2009 listing of the Ludlow Tent Colony as a National Historic Landmark testifies to the quality of this accumulated scholarship and McGovern\u2019s original pathbreaking text. Many plays, films, poems, and novels about the Colorado Coal Field Strike have been similarly inspired by McGovern\u2019s scholarship. This creative work is just as important as traditional scholarship for communicating the lessons of history, sensitizing us to human difference, expanding the scope of who counts as part of \u201cus\u201d, and furthering moral progress.\nWhile driving home yesterday I heard a National Public Radio piece about Senator McGovern\u2019s death that included a clip in which he said that \u201cI\u2019ll go to my grave believing America would be better off had I been elected.\u201d I suspect that\u2019s true, but we\u2019ll never really know for sure. Certainly, we can be much more confident that the practices of social history and public history are far better off\u2014more inclusive, more democratic, more humane\u2014because of the work of George McGovern: politician, historian, scholar, gentleman.\nDavid K Aylward February 22, 2017 at 8:25 pm\nThank you so much for this post. I knew McGovern well, serving in his presidential campaign for 18 months, and in his Senate office for a year after that. What a great man, with wonderful values.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Homepage > Treatments > Time Lapse (IVF)\nTime Lapse (IVF)\nChoosing the best embryo for transfer has always been a matter of controversy. Among embryos that look similar, there are only a few offering a high chance of achieving a pregnancy. However, the difficulty in selecting the best embryos together with the couples\u2019 (and doctors\u2019) anxiety to achieve their goal would result in transferring more than one embryo back into the uterus. If a pregnancy was established, it was usually a multiple pregnancy that carries great risks for the mother and the babies.\nTime-lapse microscopy represents one of the latest advances in Assisted Reproduction Technologies. This technology will provide data which can help to assess embryo development and implantation potential in IVF treatment. Time-lapse embryo monitoring allows continuous, non-invasive embryo observation 24 hours per day.\nSpecial microscopic lenses are incorporated in the incubators. The embryos are placed in specific places in the incubators which are connected with these lenses and it is not necessary to move them outside of the incubator for monitoring as the observation of their development is done with external monitors. It is as if a microscope was placed in the incubator in order to observe each embryo developing 24 hours a day.\nTheir use has no negative effect on embryonic development, since embryos are not affected by their presence. On the contrary, there are many significant advantages, such as:\n> The embryos are not exposed to external lab conditions. Therefore, there is continuous culture and incubation achieving the highest standards of quality for the developing embryos.\n> It is even more important that there is constant and continuous recording that allows us to know important details of the cell development like for example;\n> the exact time between cell divisions (meaning how many hours after fertilization each embryo was at 2 cells, 3 cells, etc.).\n> how much time was needed to complete each cell division.\n> if each cell was divided properly, as well as other very important details that complete the puzzle of each embryo.\nIt is important to state that it was impossible to record such details through the traditional process of embryo scoring. These details were secrets unrevealed to the embryologist. The latest scientific data correlate these secrets with embryonic viability, development and implantation potential and provide answers in questions that we always had such as, why embryos with good morphology didn\u2019t always establish a pregnancy.\nEach detail is also analyzed, apart from recording, with the aid of specially designed software. This recording enables the most accurate selection of top quality embryos for embryo transfer so as to increase pregnancy rates.",

        "raw_content": "My passions and life is constantly in development. I constantly develop new projects under the umbrella of my Volunteer organization Green Life Volunteers.\nOne project I founded is a dog and cat rescue project on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica, which I run voluntarily in my free time. I also spend my time helping in a new Environmental Education project (voluntarily).\nTo earn money I am developing websites, do graphic design, and run my volunteer organization Green Life Volunteers.\nI also love to help protect endangered species and habitats, and to contribute to social change and sustainable development.That\u2019s why I studied biology and environmental studies, and ended up in one of the most bio-diverse places on earth \u2013 the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. And that\u2019s also why I opened up Green Life Volunteers, which combines my passion to help people, animals and nature!\nI am always doing something new and my life never stands still. I\u2019ve traveled and lived in various countries around the world, including New Zealand (2004 \u2013 2005), Sweden (2007 \u2013 2008), India (2008), South-East Asia (2008 \u2013 2009), Canada (2009 \u2013 2011), and Costa Rica (since January 2011). In the meantime I graduated from my Bachelor of Science degree and Master in Environmental Studies degree with excellence (A+).\nI ended up in Costa Rica by conducting my Major Paper Research on Squirrel Monkeys. I love Costa Rica, but I am not done yet with exploring the world. I am happy to work in any part of the world and my dream is to work in conservation and development projects \u2013 preferably in tropical areas of the world, since I believe those areas are currently most important to conserve.\nResearching squirrel monkeys in Costa Rica fulfilled my lifelong dream of contributing to improving the conservation status of a highly endangered species and its habitat. My main focus of my Master studies was Conservation Biology and Protected Area Management. Squirrel monkeys are an endangered species, and occur mainly within two major protected areas within Costa Rica (Corcovado National Park and Manuel Antonio National Park). The study was intended to research negative impacts on squirrel monkey populations and find possible improvements for their conservation within their habitat. Read more on my study shortly here.\nIn 2012, I established a volunteer company in Costa Rica, called Green Life Volunteers. Through Green Life Volunteers I can help various environmental, conservation, and social development projects within Costa Rica by providing them with \u201cman-power\u201d and \u201cknow-how\u201d of foreign volunteers from all over the world. Amongst my projects are Turtle Conservation, Teaching, Environmental Education, Dog and Cat Rescue, and Working in Protected Areas.\nIn 2012 I also began to work as a freelance wordpress developer, graphic designer and website designer. I\u2019ve never studied website design or graphic design, but it was always a hobby of mine. I love educating myself and building my skill set.\nBy building websites I help small local Costa Rican businesses to grow!\nRead more about me and my experience in my CV here.",

You're liable to be ordered to, \"Check your privilege!\" Do not -- I REPEAT -- DO NOT RETREAT!\nMan or woman up and tell 'em to, \"Curb your entitlements!\" This ain't, 1860, 1900, nor the 1930s (except for the economy under Obama). This is 2014; with half the taxpayers paying for what is now the other half not working. Thousands are scamming the system-this at the behest of a party so low, they stooped to making our HC system on a similar model to the VA's. One of the more popular jobs of new college grads may be getting hired to sit on a death panel.\nAs Margaret Thatcher said, \"The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.\" She knew entitlements would eventually bring pain and chaos to all. There is no history of this kind of government ever succeeding. It's been an international Ponzi scheme for thousands of years. Once people vote in others just to line their pockets, while refusing to work, we will be toast.\nClever politicians use this phenomenon to take advantage of the poor's plight. They drive wedges into their minds that ignite hate and jealousy against those who are achieving through capitalism. If they'd guide the poor to study what and how these so-called one-percenters made their livings, they'd discover that many of them started off poorer than they are. Instead of resentment, the future makers and shakers, many of them minorities, discovered that this country is a success in search of a few breaks. Of course, one must work toward a goal and keep his eyes open to advancement and opportunity.\nI recently discovered that until the 1950's my relatives, including my father, all lived in a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment on the West Side of Chicago. There were 10 of them, matriculating in and out as fortune would allow. They were refugees from the murderous pogroms against Jews generated by the Cossacks in-guess where-The Ukraine during the early 1900's.\nEvery one of them, including my dad, made a good living\ufffdeventually. One who is alive at 97 did very well. He started working at the ripe old age of six.\nIt's been 50 years since the Great Society Bill was passed and signed into law by LBJ. What small gains the poor have made, especially blacks, have caused vast amounts of damage to a culture that was once proud and determined to kick ass as equals. Here's what's happened:\nSixty percent of black children grow up in fatherless homes.\n800,000 black men are in jail or prison.\nSeventy percent of black babies are born to unwed mothers.\nSince Roe V. Wade, 36 percent of abortions have been black babies. Blacks comprise 12 percent of the US population.\nAlmost half of black men in American cities are neither working or in school.\nWhatever benefits have been achieved by this \"war\" have been diminished by its unintended consequences.\nYet, Democrats found a benefit to their failed Great Society. They discovered political power in subsidizing the destruction of black babies and black souls-all on taxpayer's back. With the blip in the minorities' slide to Hell when Bubba signed off on welfare reform at the urging of a Republican Congress in the 90's, even Republicans have laid low for fear of further castrating their minority vote.\nNow with an Obama-Dem Congress explosion in debt caused by stealing from one group of citizens to buy the votes of others via Obamacare, bailouts and handouts, further destruction of an already shaky economy is eminent. The poor and especially blacks have not been helped by ignoring welfare work requirements.\nWe are witnessing the festering of a frustrated culture - the American culture. Handouts have replaced jobs. Abortions have become birth control and false-Messiah-worshipping in the form of Barack Obama has become a substitute for religion.\nNever point a finger when you can lend a hand\nIs there not a leader in the black community who has the foresight of the words of Martin Luther King? Is there any movement at all from the NAACP to fix black souls instead of elections?\nWe know from history that unfettered and unearned gratuities are unsustainable. It's only a matter of time for the money train to run off the rails. A reality fix is needed or we are all lost.\nMaybe that's the Democratic Party's concept.\nEnough is enough!

        "raw_content": "You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry...\nIf an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic, because in arithmetic there is knowledge, but in theology there is only opinion. So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.\n\u2013 Bertrand Russell, \u201cAn Outline of Intellectual Rubbish,\u201d 1943\nThe funny thing is, if you'd shown me this quote ten years ago it would have made me angry (or at least annoyed), because at the time I believed that faith and theology were about becoming more and more certain -- on a rational level -- of the rightness of my opinions.\nNow, however, I am not angry. Nor am I afflicted with the false and patronizing pity born of pride. Rather, I feel deeply the Sadness of the pain of Unknowing, and also (sometimes) the gratitude born of glancing experiences of Grace.\nTo live right is not to be right, but rather to love well, and humbly, and often -- knowing full well that in everything other than that, you may very well be at least a little bit wrong.\nI can't say I agree with that quote by Bertran Russell. If someone insists that two plus two is five in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, even after they've had it explained to them, and if they insist on teaching their errors to children in schools, I do not pity them...I get angry.\nRussell does throw in the word \"probably.\"\nI think what's being advocated is not \"never get angry or you're invariably in the wrong,\" but rather a general principle, which seems to me to be rather wise.\nI disagree pretty uncompromisingly with Russell on other things, but I'm still gonna give a thumbs up to this one.\nI'm going to assume you're quite an intelligent person and therefore -- since I also assume you're aware how unlikely it is that your anger will change the mind of this theoretically belligerent \"two plus two is five parent\" -- I wonder if perhaps it could be that your anger response in such a situation is not coming particularly from a desire to right a wrong (since, on a pragmatic level, it just won't work), but rather from somewhere else.\nWhere? I have no clue.\nI could very well be horrendously wrong, but I think it's worth contemplating. Emotions are tricky little weasels, and to mix my animalian metaphors, I'll add that I think it's worth paying attention to them if you want to ferret out deeper insight into your own possibly unhealthy emotional subterfuges.\nI think it is unhealthy to go around angry in life, but I don't think the natural emotion of anger is an unhealthy one to experience on occasion. I understand what the quote means, and initially one is tempted to agree with it. When it comes to things like politics, I think anger as a response to someone I disagree with would be an unhealthy response that demonstrates more about my inner psyche than anything else. But, when it comes to arithmetic, geography or other sciences, as I say I tend to feel angry when someone \"maintains\" that two and two are five despite being shown they are wrong.\nI would also disagree with his statement that theology is different than arithmetic because in theology there are only opinions. In my opinion that is not the case.\nFair enough. Like all quotes, I suppose it's only true in some circumstances, dealing with a particular subset of human behavior. We've all observed people (sometimes ourselves) marching around in proud anger over the perceived incorrectness of others' opinions, when really all that was going on was fear.\nNot to be an argumentative SOB, but I think it is important to distinguish quotes which are only true in some circumstances from those that seem sensible at first but are in fact total b.s. People tend to cling to quotes like this, and even build their philosophies around them without critiquing them, especially when they come from someone of some fame.\nThe claim that the most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way, seems true to me but then he goes on to lump theology into that category in which there is no good evidence either way when in fact many would argue it is closer to arithmetic or geography in that regard. The example of creationism taught in schools is a case in point. Evolution is as scientifically established as basic arithmetic and yet millions of people still claim that there is no good evidence either way. Getting angry when people maintain their theology in that regard is most definitely NOT a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do.\nWell, yeah... and maybe I'm just constitutionally passive-aggressive and therefore suspicious of all anger. But I do think of anger as being useful only as a starter-pistol, not as a sustaining driver. It just doesn't work, and it seems to me that if you try to hold onto it for too long, you just end up having contempt for the people who hold the view you see as stupid.\nWhile I tend to agree with you on evolution (sort of), I also don't feel that it's particularly incompatible with what the Bible was actually trying to say.\nAnd I understand how people whose faith is a VERY important part of their identity and don't see it the way I do find talk of evolution to be so threatening. They've been educated to anachronistically read the Bible as some sort of science textbook, and therefore are tied to an untenable paradigm that will always, inevitably, lead them into conflicts between their faith and their reason. In those cases they choose faith over reason.\nI think this is unnecessary and a bit sad, but I don't resent them for it. That doesn't make them evil, I don't think... it makes them human. They are NOT the Evil Other. They - like you and I - just want a life that makes sense... a life in which their actions have meaning.\nWhen they argue about creation they're not arguing about science, they're arguing about their IDENTITY. And getting angry at someone who's insecure about the basis of their identity WILL NOT HELP. Patience sucks, most of the time; but patient, empathetic grace is all, I think, that has a prayer of changing anyone.\nNote: I also don't accept a purely materialistic universe in which the ONLY significance is to be found in existentialist behaviors. On a practical, day-to-day level, this is surely true. HOWEVER, I hold out a hope for something more. I believe in a MYSTERY I cannot comprehend, and that this mystery points to a super-creative-awesome-artist-God.\nCall me nuts if you'd like, that's fine with me...\nI don't disagree with what you say here...and I've got no problem with someone who chooses to continue to limit their knowledge to the dark ages if they so wish. But, maybe it's just me, it seems so rare to meet a creationist (for example) who doesn't feel the need to convince everyone else of their folly as well. That's the bit that evokes the anger response, especially since it so often involves teaching known falsehoods to children. If they want to stay in their basement and silently believe that 2+2=5 and all biological species were zapped into place 10,000 years ago, all the power to them, I won't be the least bit pissed off about it.\nI don't think you're nuts, but I do happen to accept a purely materialistic universe. As soon as someone shows me the least bit of evidence to the contrary, I'd be happy to change my mind :)\nI guess I just figure... well - there are bigger fish to fry than inaccuracy of belief. Yeah, I'd like it if people were more interested in finding the Truth than in protecting what truth they figure they've already established, but I've got a lotta things that bug me more. Like mountain top removal and fracking. THAT, to me, is worth getting riled up about, because it's immediate and has long-term, super-ugly effects.\nHow about people who have known false beliefs trying to get their hands on a nuclear weapon so that they can impose their will on millions of people? Or...how about people who think that removing a mountain top to more easily get at a fossil fuel doesn't have long-term negative ecological effects, or believe that long-term ecological effects are not important? Or how about someone invading a country in Mesopotamia and killing hundreds of thousands because they (falsely) believed that their deity instructed them to?\nIsn't it all tied together? In my mind there is almost nothing more important in this world than making sure people don't try to impose their mistaken beliefs on others.\nWhoops, I can feel myself getting angry now...\nI know exactly what you are talking about. The creationist point of view is used to justify everything in the Bible as being inerrant. That is the SOLE REASON why they want it taught in schools. It has wider implications than just being bad science.\nI am very tolerant of other belief systems. But I do get angry when people use bad science and bad theology as a reason to violate the rights of others. At that point, I think it is justified to say \"Wait a minute! This is wrong!\"\nI will say however that there definitely is some truth in this article and it is food for thought.\nThanks for your input, Mary. I suppose I'll have to start thinking about all this a bit more, now that my son's coming-of-school-age.\nI'm guessing that what makes Anonymous angry about the 2+2=5 parent isn't that they hold that opinion, but that they might want to force that opinion on little Anonymous Jr. a la creationists or what not. That's a different thing than I think Russell is talking about because obviously, that's an action and not just an opinion.\nYeah, fair enough. Anger about injustice is legit, I think. I just tend to think that it's not an emotion that's worth residing in, if your goal is to effect a change. Be angry, braid some cords, yell a bunch, then take actual action.\nI would suggest kidnapping such children and feeding them lots of strawberry ice cream as you inform them of your own, more correct opinions.",

        "raw_content": "A recent Supreme Court case illustrates the risks of not formally 'closing down' construction disputes, but simply sitting on your hands after an arbitration settlement that seems acceptable.\nA developer retained a contractor to carry out an asbestos survey of various properties it was considering developing. After the redevelopment was started, the developer claimed that it had found and had to remove asbestos which had not been revealed by the survey report and a dispute arose as a result.\nAfter an unsuccessful attempt to resolve the matter by negotiation, the dispute went to adjudication and the contractor who carried out the survey was ordered to pay the developer more than \u00a3650,000 in compensation and interest. The sum paid was approximately \u00a3300,000 less than the original claim.\nThere matters rested for some time. The limitation period that applied to bringing any further claim under the contract for breach of contract expired in April 2010 and the limitation period imposed under the Limitation Act 1980, for an action based on the law of tort (damages), ended in early 2011.\nIn 2012, the contractor sought to reclaim the sum it had paid to the developer. It alleged that there should have been no claim against it on the merits of the evidence put before the adjudicator. The developer then demanded the balance of its original claim plus interest. The contractor claimed that this counterclaim was 'out of time'.\nThe Court of Appeal ruled that the terms agreed between the parties allowed any overpayment to be recovered. The crux of the issue was whether it would be fair to have a limitation period that related to the date on which the contract was performed determine the date on which the right to make a claim expired and whether a declaration of non-liability by a court (i.e. a decision that there should have been no award against the contractor in the first place) was time-barred.\nThe case then went to the Supreme Court, where the key question was considered to be how far the contractor would be able to disturb the provisional position established by the adjudicator's decision, by itself commencing proceedings after the time had elapsed when the developer could bring any claim based on the original breach of contract or tort.\nIn essence, the contractor was claiming that it should have the money it had paid refunded but the developer had lost the right to pursue its claim for the balance of the sum it originally sought.\nLord Mance commented that 'adjudication was conceived...as a provisional mechanism, pending a final determination of the dispute'. Whilst it might well have suited the developer to let matters lie as they were, the contractor's right to repayment of an overpayment once the original dispute had been settled was clear.\nHowever, in the final resolution of such a claim, the judge stated that the hearing could 'not be confined to the points which the adjudicator in his or her reasons decided in its [the contractor's] favour' and that the developer would 'be able to rely on all aspects of its claim'.",

He was 78 and his passing was confirmed by his son Christopher.\nBorn in 1939, soul fans will know Cochran for his Chess recordings in the mid sixties but his soul credentials run deeper than that. Living in Macon, Georgia, Wayne was a friend of the young Otis Redding and played in Redding's band before being signed in his own right to King Records fronting his own band, the C C Riders. At King Wayne became a close friend with James Brown.\nWayne Cochran was famous for his flamboyant stage shows - pictures show him sporting an exaggerated pompadour-style haircut and some say his wild stage outfits influenced Elvis Presley while musically the self-styled White Knight of Soul's best known recording is probably 'Last Kiss' \u2013 which, when covered by J Frank Wilson, was a US chart topper. Soul-wise his most collectable recording is his 1967 Chess set. 'Wayne Cochran! '\nCochran eventually retired from the music biz and became a pastor, founding the Voice for Jesus Church \u2013 an establishment that relied heavily on musical performance. He said; \"We're not typical of a church. We're loud. It burns. I believe in the power of music. If you don't want to get ecstatic, don't come to this church. There ain't no tombstones sitting in there and if they are, we're gonna resurrect them. We have a good time. We boogie.\"\nCochran also discovered bass maestro, Jaco Pastorius, who joined the C.C.

        "raw_content": "A Father's Day Surprise\nLiving 2,000 miles away from my family is okay most of the time, but I do tend to miss a lot of small stuff. When plans to spend the weekend at the ocean with some of my favorites from college changed at the last minute, I decided to surprise some people who didn't think I would be in town until Sunday (today). It was great! We picked up a pizza and the traditional birthday ice cream cake (you can't have a birthday in my family without a Dairy Queen cake!) and drove over to the farm.\nOur annual birthday picture\nWe like pictures a little bit\nGrandpa turns 93 in September, but since I may not be able to be here that weekend we celebrated early. On his 87th birthday, we started documenting it with a picture of us every year. Now, I'm glad I have all those pictures and it's fun to look back and see how we've both changed since 2009.\nWhen I was a kid, grandpa ALWAYS spent Saturday afternoons at the sales barn. After a while it became our thing. I wouldn't go every weekend, but it was something fun to do together. As I got older and moved away, it became that much more special when we could go to the sales barn.\nI took grandpa to lunch at the Branding Iron Cafe, the restaurant at our local sales barn, and then went to the sale for an hour. In the summer, they also sell flowers. If I didn't have to get on an airplane, I would have bought some stuff because those flowers were cheap! I joked that we could redo Granny's entire yard for about $30.\nNothing says. \"I'm home!\" quite like a trip to the sales barn with Grandpa\nWe stayed until 2 and they still hadn't gotten to the cows and other livestock. That's my favorite part. They're just beef cows and cull dairy cows, but it's more the tradition of it all that I enjoy so much.\nNo more small open-cab tractors for us! My brother even built a buddy seat into his tractor since it didn't have one. I must say that's MUCH more comfortable than sitting on the arm rest like I usually do.\nMy brother mowing the field by our house. He turned the cows out into the field a few minutes later to eat the cut grass instead of turning this field into hay.\nMy brother has been really busy farming. In our family, you either help or get out of the way. Saturday night he walked into the house and asked if I wanted to ride along while he cut the back field on our property. Yes please!!\nTonight, we are heading over to Dad's to grill some hamburgers. As I've said before, I tend to miss a lot of small stuff by living so far away, but I'm always there for the big stuff.\nHappy Father's Day to all of the dads. Hope you have a weekend as good as ours!\nPosted by Kimmi | Kimmi's Dairyland at Sunday, June 21, 2015\nLabels: hay, holiday",

        "raw_content": "Starring: Meisa Kuroki, Hinako Saeki, Rinko Kikuchi, Yoshikazu Fujiki\nIt\u2019s testament to how much the world loves Mamoru Oshii that none of us hold him responsible for influencing James Cameron or Zack Snyder and therefore responsible for Avatar (and it\u2019s two\u2026count them, two sequels) and the bitterly disappointing Sucker Punch. In Assault Girls Oshii offers us up more of the world he has created to call his own (a virtual world) and a sequel to Avalon. Now it\u2019s worth pointing out that you don\u2019t need to have seen Avalon to watch Assault Girls, it will enhance the experience but is not necessary.\nThe world is a dystopia which has affected the population to such an extend that most people live their lives inside an RPG called \u201cAvalon\u201d. Four highly skilful players who team up in order to advance to the next level and in doing so face a world of monsters and creatures that must all pass by their crosshairs.\nIt goes without even saying that the film looks beautiful, of course it looks beautiful. This is Mamoru Oshii, the camera is his brush and he is masterful with it. He has an amazing eye for capturing the simply sublime. The rough terrain of the games setting is framed extremely sensitively. It\u2019s never flashy, which seems counter intuitive to the genre but works so well. If it wasn\u2019t for the heavy arsenal the film would look, at least in parts, like The Story of the Weeping Camel as it\u2019s absolutely gorgeous landscape and scale simply engulf you leaving you nowhere to go but deeper and deeper into the film. The juxtaposition between what would be the \u201cnatural world\u201d created inside the game and the \u201cartifical\u201d objective based environment is brilliant. In Avalon Oshii understood that gaming graphics are great but they are not perfect and this is a technique he has utilized to wonderful effect again. Whether it\u2019s the spheres in the background of the way in which the giant carnivorous worms shatter when killed it leaves the audience under no illusions. This is a game and as such will be interacted by performer and audience member alike. The key to this ethos is Oshii\u2019s understanding of how sophisticated and involved gaming has become. Many people look down their noses at the medium but these people haven\u2019t seen a video game since Pong and are way out of touch.\nThere\u2019s very little dialogue performed in the film, though there is a narrator and the return of the Game Master, which is probably a good thing as the Japanese actors delivery of English always comes out a little rushed and creates the impression it\u2019s been learned phonetically. You can\u2019t really blame the actors for this, can you imagine Keira Knightly starring in a Japanese language version of Pirates of the Caribbean? There\u2019s something genuinely interesting about this decision (not just to speak English but to limit the dialogue). It means that so much of the actors performance must be physical and played out through gestures, when you think about this choice you realise that it actually strengthens the idea that Oshii makes purely visual cinema, art even. Narratively Japanese is forbidden inside the game as it\u2019s a \u201clocal language\u201d and implies an occupation of some sort. It strikes a beautifully Orwellian notes as to limit language is to limit imagination and creativity. Where Avalon ran parallels with Poland during the Second World War the American of Assault Girls speaks to the cleansing of language and coverage of the decade long war in Iraq and how we have been limited politically by the creation of an unnecessary conflict.\nMeisa Kuroki (as Grey) is great in what you would consider to be the lead role. She\u2019s come a long way since One Missed Call Final and isn\u2019t hampered in the slightest by the lack of character development in the script. The world is a dystopic mess so it\u2019s obvious she has a back story and it\u2019s bound to be sad otherwise she wouldn\u2019t be in Avalon and though it would be great to actually get some of it so we can care about the character it isn\u2019t necessary for Kuroki as she wears it on her face during several key scenes in the film, one in particular in which she\u2019s debating about the pros and cons of joining a gang. Fujiki (as Jager) is also extremely strong, the long shots of him traversing the terrain, half hunched but strong carrying his rifle hints at a life before this, one that was comfortably with the rocky landscape. All this is implied, of course as Oshii\u2019s film has little interest in the past of his characters or their reasons for being who and where they are. The likely outcome of this is that Oshii fans will read what they can into it while the rest dismiss it. Kikuchi (as Lucifer) and Saeki (Colonel) are giving brief spotlights in which to showcase but without any real dialogue or dare I say story they\u2019ve got little to do other than play the game. It\u2019s difficult to gauge how good they are, as their time is limited, but they\u2019re most certainly not bad. Saeki\u2019s a little annoying though.\nThe score is as grand as the cinematography, it creates a huge wave that carries many sequences and is as lyrical, beautiful and poetic as any score in Oshii\u2019s work.\nThere are problems with the film though and they\u2019re too obvious to be overlooked. The pace of the film is a little sporadic as it exits lavish action sequences and slips into a dragging spiritual mode that isn\u2019t really necessary, jars with the rest of the film and just feels completely out of place. The biggest issue with Assault Girls is the complete lack of story, the film has a feeling of improvisation. It\u2019s as if the director has given his actors and cameramen a scenario and told them to run with it as there\u2019s little more than what\u2019s outlined in the opening paragraph. There's no fear of consequence or tension or drama or drive. This is a crying shame as it\u2019s what hampers Assault Girls from being an excellent film. It\u2019s already insanely enjoyable imagine if there was an actual story. It's cinematic art, the Japanese renaissance but what's the point if you can't really care about anything? Ghost in the Shell was 1995, there\u2019s only so many times you can either go back to that well or live off the back of it and as entertaining as Assault Girls is it leaves a bad taste behind when you consider the possibility that a genuinely brilliant director might be coasting.\nLabels: 2 star, Action, Film, Review, Sci-Fi\nThis movie sucked so hard...I absolutely hated it. There was nothing about it I liked it. I guess I liked when it ended but that's really it. I felt like I wasted my life watching it.\nLol. I found it really difficult to review. Visually I loved it but there was no narrative, I still think I didn't write it right.",

(Photo: Social Media)\nIraq Kurdistan Elections\nERBIL (Kurdistan 24) \u2013 Fars Mohammed, General-Director of Administration for the Kurdistan Region\u2019s electoral commission, was fatally shot on Tuesday in an act that appeared to be a targeted assassination.\nSecurity officials have announced that it was likely the result of a family dispute, and not politically motivated.\nMohammed, a long time member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party, was killed while driving in his car at approximately 2:00 p.m. on 100-Meter Road, near Erbil's popular Family Mall. According to eye-witnesses, four males in another vehicle approached his vehicle and opened fire, hitting him multiple times and killing him immediately. Photographs taken at the scene show several bullet holes in the car's exterior.\nThe assassination has raised suspicion among many in Kurdish social media since it comes weeks ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections in the country.\n\u201cThe investigation of the case has already started,\u201d Tariq Nouri, Director of Erbil Asayish (Security) said. \u201cThe preliminary results show that he was killed because of a family issue. This murder case has no political angle.\u201d\nNouri added that recently, a nephew of Mohammed was killed in Erbil and the murderer later found dead in Istanbul, but gave no further details.\n\u201cMohammed\u2019s murder might be related to that [social] dispute,\u201d Nouri said. \u201cWe will inform the people of Erbil if we receive any new information.\u201d\nThe Kurdistan Region and Iraq are heading to national legislative elections, which are scheduled to be held next month on May 12. There are 6986 candidates who have been certified to run in the elections, competing for 329 seats in Baghdad's parliament.\nThe PUK is one of the leading parties in the current Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) cabinet. It is the third-largest party in the Kurdistan Region following the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and Gorran (Change) with 18 seats in Kurdistan Parliament.\nOn Sunday, the Islamic State (IS) issued a public warning, threatening that it would target voters across Iraq on election day and, in a separate statement, claimed responsibility for a car bombing that wounded a Turkmen candidate last week in the province of Kirkuk.",

This property, as well as its brittleness and high melting point, is the result of the strong tendency toward order due to intermetallic bonding between aluminium and other constituents.

It is supported by seven flags, each bearing the design of a fish, the emblem of Awadh. The devices on the escutcheon appear to epitomise Claude Martin's career. The ship recalls his voyage to India where he established his fortune. The lion with the pennant in the centre of the shield represents his superior status and success as an officer in the Brtitish East India Company and with the Nawab of Awadh (Asaf-ud-Daula). The setting sun (behind the castellated building to the right of the shield) points to the end of his days and the important role the building of \"Constantia\" played in his later years.

We believe that education is best pursued in the company of others, for others\u2019 benefit as well as one\u2019s own. Our Latin motto \u2014 Labore et Constantia (which can be translated as \u201cby Labour and Constancy\u201d or \u201cby Toil and Fidelity\u201d) \u2014inspires humility and perseverance.\nOur goal is to prepare students for success in school and in life beyond school. We strive to foster their passion for learning and achievement and to help them shape a joyful life.\nWe encourage our students to dream big and master the art of making the impossible, possible; to define and pursue excellence free of perfectionism; to learn how to work well alone and together; to become brave; to stay humble; and to discover that character and wisdom must finally be realised in decisive and often collaborative action. Our students and teachers are inspired by our values of safety, trust, respect, belonging, and inclusion. Our community is one in which every day, we help each other get better.\nI am proud to be a Martinian, and am honoured by the opportunity to serve this unique learning institution. On behalf of our students, faculty, and staff, I encourage you to explore this website, and look forward to welcoming you when you visit.\nAashrita Dass\nKhursheed Manzil - Our Pride\nKursheed Manzil - Our Pride\nThe buildings of the Nawabs of Awadh are unique in a way that the material employed for them is just chunam (lime mortar) and lakhauri (thin flat bricks) with stucco used for their excellent decoration, it is not stone or marble, that was used by the Moghuls and earlier rulers in India. It is believed that this was done to reduce the cost of construction, because stone was not quarried anywhere in Awadh and getting this material from other parts of the country would have added transportation cost to the original cost, which in itself would be higher in case of stone and marble.\nThere is another peculiarity of the Nawabi buildings, particularly those built at Lucknow, it is their non-conventional following of any particular style. While some of the buildings are designed in the Indo-Sarcenic style in the Moghul fashion, many of them are built in the European style and quite often in a queer mix of both these styles, prevalent at the time.\nKhursheed Zadi, the wife of the sixth Nawab of Awadh, Saadat Ali Khan and the mother of the seventh Nawab and first King of Awadh, Ghazi-ud-Din Haider has two buildings attributed to her name, a palace and a mausoleum, but interestingly, both have been buiit in different styles. While her mausoleum, built after her death by her son was fashioned in the Moghul style, the palace which was built in her lifetime by her husband followed the European style of a castle. The palace is named after her as Khursheed Manzil. It could not be completed in Saadat Ali Khan's lifetime and was completed by his son Ghazi-ud-Din Haider in 1818.\nKhursheed Manzil was built adjacent to the Moti Mahal, a palace built by Saadat Ali Khan. The design and construction of Khursheed Manzil was done by Captain Duncan Mc Leod who was in the service of the British East India Company in 1911 when he was lent to the Nawab for supervising the repairs and construction of his buildings and for surveying the river, for suggesting a suitable site for an iron bridge. Captain Mc Leod, to some extent, followed the design of one Robert Smith, who had conceived for the reigning Nawab, a two storeyed building having a large central dome and eight very distinctive octagonal towers, rising to the whole height of the building, topped with battlements. He also borrowed certain features like the moat and drawbridge from the buildings of the French entrepreneur. (Major General) Claude Martin e.g. the Constantia and his town house, later known as Farhat Bakhsh.\nCaptain Mc Leod was offered employment by the Nawab in 1813 at a salary of rupees one thousand five hundred per month with free furnished accommodation and posse of servants as perks. Later, he resigned his job with the Company to remain in the exclusive service of Nawab Saadat Ali Khan. The Nawab spent rupees five thousand for providing seven out-houses for kitchen attached to the grand residence of his coveted engineer. After Saadat Ali Khan's death, Nawab Ghazi-ud-Din Haider, further raised the salary of Captain Mc Leod to rupees two thousand per month.\nKhursheed Manzil with its hexagonal towers, battlements, moat and drawbridge is quite similar to an English Lord's castle. It also served as a guest-house, where Ghazi-ud-Din Haider invited his foreign visitors for breakfast and tea. Governor General Lord Moira, the Marquis of Hastings visited the Khursheed Manzil in March 1818, soon after it was completed. He refers to it as the 'Palace of Sun', since Khursheed means 'sun' in Persian.\nLater, when the second King of Awadh, Naseer-ud-Din Haider planned an astronomical Observatory, Tare wali Kothi, Captain Herbert was appointed its astrono-mer in 1832 and Khursheed Manzil being adjacent to the Observatory, became the residence of Captain Herbert so that he could watch the heavens whenever he liked, in the day or night.\nDuring the freedom struggle of 1857, the building was in control of the rebels (freedom fighters) and was used by them as their headquarters. Their leader, Ahmad-ullah Shah of Faizabad held his Court in Khursheed Manzil [according to an English lady's acccount who stayed here for some days as captive of a rebel commander].\nKhursheed Manzil was recaptured by the British on November 17,1857 through a three pronged attack, led by the Generals, Outram and Havelock and their Commander-in-Chief, Colin Campbell. The three jubilantly shook hands when they met at the castle palace on that significant occasion.\nUnder the charities of the French, Major General Claude Martin (died 1800), the British administration in 1869 decided to utilise part of its funds to establish an exclusive institution for the education of European Christian females in the city. Their search for a suitable building ended, when Khursheed Manzilwas presented to the La Martiniere management by the British government in 1871.\nThus, Khursheed Manzil, the palace initially meant for a Begum of the Nawab of Awadh, got converted to an exclusive European Public School. It is now recognised as the La Martiniere College for girls and is today a prestigious institution for girls in the city.\nLa Martiniere Girls\u2019 College, Lucknow, started in Moti Mahal premises in 1869 with less than a 100 students and staff. Today, it has 2700 students (110 boarders) and 247 staff. It has always ranked as one of the leading schools of India. And since 2015, academically it has consistently been rated in the top 10 all-girls boarding schools of India.

        "raw_content": "The roots of Pakistan\u2019s blasphemy laws can be traced back to the British colonial rule in India, but their harsher clauses were added to the Pakistan Penal Code during a wave of intense Islamization in the 1980s. Everyone in Pakistan is threatened by the misuse of these laws, even Muslims; however a disproportionate number of victims targeted by these laws have come from two minority groups, the Ahmadis and Christians.\nDr Qaiser Julius focuses on how these two groups have been affected by Pakistan\u2019s blasphemy laws, their different reactions to these laws, and more specifically, why they are responding differently despite living under the same circumstances. In this well-structured and understandable study, Julius provides a valuable tool for Christians to understand what it means to be a minority in a hostile culture. This thorough analysis presents a way forward for the Christian church in Pakistan, providing hope amidst the discrimination and persecution.",

        "raw_content": "If there\u2019s one question that gets asked over and over again, it would definitely be whether or not no win no fee personal injury cases really exist. That\u2019s something that a lot of people get into because they think that it\u2019s too good to be true. So they feel like it\u2019s a giant scam, especially when they could really use legal representation in case.\nThe truth is that there are many lawyers that take on personal injury cases on a contingency basis. This means that if you don\u2019t win your case, they will not charge you anything. Of course, in order for this guarantee to be upheld, you need to make sure that it\u2019s being taught and enforced form the very beginning. There\u2019s something to be said when you can actually stop stressing so much. Your life right now is probably filled with stress bookcase someone has interrupted everything for you. That\u2019s not your fault either. You can\u2019t keep blaming yourself of things that have nothing to do with you.\nFrom here, what do you really need to do? In our opinion, you need to make sure that you\u2019re giving the solicitor of your choice all of the information that they need to evaluate your case. As mentioned earlier, there\u2019s no fee if you don\u2019t win. However, that part of the agreement hinges on accurate information. You can\u2019t leave anything out, because if you don\u2019t win based on missing information, then they\u2019re going to be pretty upset. You also need to make sure that you\u2019re looking for the right people. You will have to actually call the different law firms and really feel them out. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. If anything, you really need to make sure that you have all of your ducks in a row when it\u2019s time to really get things off the ground.\nPersonal injury is something that can put your life on hold, this is very true. But the reliant is that your life doesn\u2019t have to be on hold forever. You can rise above it. All you need to do is start getting the right professionals on your side.\nPosted in Law ArticlesTagged No Win No Fee Personal Injury",

        "raw_content": "As American architect Louis Sullivan said, \u201cForm ever follows function.\u201d\nLiving in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the \u201cattitude capital of the world\u201d, I was interested to read in the June issue of the Ann Arbor Observer that my fair city is the birthplace of the office cube farm. Given the proximity of the city to the design offices of Herman Miller, this was not a surprise. What\u2019s fascinating to me is that the city is also home to one of the most innovative open office environments. Menlo Innovations, a software development company, has no cubicles and not much use for office furniture systems. The contrast between the office cubicles of Herman Miller and the open office of Menlo Innovations is striking.\nThis year is the fiftieth anniversary of the Action Office that Bob Probst designed for Herman Miller which became the standard for office design for the next forty years. Cube farms became ubiquitous. It wasn\u2019t Probst\u2019s intent to create barriers between people but that was the result. It wasn\u2019t until the emphasis on teamwork in the 90s that Steelcase and others started building systems that were designed to facilitate collaboration. But the cube farms have persisted probably because workers like to have a space they can call their own, a space that gives them a sense of privacy (even if there isn\u2019t any), and they like the status that comes with having the biggest cube.\nNone of that is available in an open office. However, what is available is ready access to co-workers, being \u201cin the loop\u201d on decisions, having as much or as little space as is needed to get the work done, and a level of implied trust and transparency that is not characteristic of more traditional offices. Of course, technology, such as cell phones and portable computers have contributed to making the office cubicle less needed. Knowledge workers can be anywhere and still be able to do most of their tasks. They don\u2019t need a cubicle.\nAs another great 20th century thinker, Marshall McLuhan, said, \u201cThe medium is the message.\u201d How an office is designed and functions communicates the principles and values of an organization. One design is not better than another; it all depends on the culture you are trying to create.\nPosted in communication, employee engagement, organization culture, teamwork\ntagged with cubicle, office, Probst",

        "raw_content": "Location Solutions co-sponsored Smart Fleet Management 2017\nThe market of smart fleet management technologies is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2017 to 2022, to reach USD 462.48 billion (AED 1,698,00 bln) by 2022 globally. Some of the major factors responsible for the growth of this market are:\nGovernment regulations for safety\nIncrease in demand for real-time tracking\nIncreased need for fleet monitoring by fleet operators in order to reduce transportation cost and increase operational efficiency.\nSince HH Sheikh Mohammed Al Maktoum launched the initiative to transform Dubai from e-government to smart government back in 2013, more than 1,000 services (and counting) have been made available just a click away for the public by 2017. Such impressive level of change would not have been possible if businesses and governments did not come together to set the foundations of such smart city. A range of communications platforms highlighting the importance of big data, telematics, smart transportation, smart services and other revolutionary technologies emerged.\nOne of those communications platforms happened to take place in December 11-12, 2017 at the Dusit Al Thani on Sheikh Zayed Road under the title: \u201cSmart Fleet Management\u201d. The conference highlighted the importance smart telematics. Smart Telematics is the new telematics, government and businesses are no longer interested in knowing the whereabouts of vehicles or what is known as simple track & trace. The new trend is the V2X/V2I where vehicles communicate between each other and with the road infrastructure.\nThe conference was co-sponsored by Location Solutions, and had brought together local government entities with regional telematics solution providers (TSPs), M2M providers, transport companies, and many international telematics stakeholders.\nAn array of trends and challenges have been discussed during the 2-days event, yet the core topic revolved around the increased economic activities in the region that will undeniably stimulate the growth of fleet operations in the area. With this being said, fuel and driver behaviour management, along with fleet safety and security will remain under the spotlight.\nIn his opening speech, Tim Piper, the Managing Director of Transpo Group, indicated that these, and other challenges of the industry can be handled by means of implementing advanced technologies and data management solutions. And those who use them will significantly contrast from those, who don\u2019t.\nMohammed Al Nabhan, Monitoring and Enforcement Department Director at RTA, spoke about the number of initiatives supported by TRA, shared strategic plans of the national agenda, and stressed the fact that these changes will impact the regional transport and logistics sectors in a smart and positive way.\nYoussef Beydoun, the head of cargo business relationships at Dubai Airports, shared some of the first developments which are taking place in the organisation in the advent of EXPO2020, the UAE vision 2021, and other smart initiatives, supported by the government.\nAs part of the expert panel with Mohammed Al Nabhan, RTA, and Dr. Turhan Bilgili, Project Manager and Senior Consultant Al Majdouie - Zaim Azrak, CEO of Location Solutions shared that excellence in technology generation does not necessarily lead to regional economic benefits, and that the most essential ingredient of success in this challenging industry is to look into the problems and try to solve them, rather than provide applications and try to sell them.\nDuring the presentations, delivered by experts from Michelin, Shell and Toyota, attention was given to the digital transformation of products and business processes, which is now occupying the minds of many. Increasing transport facilities and stringent safety regulations are changing government approach towards fleet operators, drivers, passengers, and goods safety. Governments had imposed many regulations, which mandate transportation OEMs to deliver vehicles equipped with safety features.\nAs part of urban infrastructure, driverless cars are coming into the center of global dispute, therefore, a panel discussion by industry experts, including Alex Smirnov, the Business Development Director of Gurtam Middle East, and Zakaraya Al Ashek, Director / Solutions Marketing - Internet of Things at Etisalat, and Manish Malhotra, Regional Head - MEA and General Manager of Toyota Asia Pacific - were focusing on how infrastructures and legal environments can be adjusted to autonomous vehicles, and whether or not the smart cities of the Emirates are ready to accommodate.\nOn the 2nd day of the conference, experts from logistics companies, research agencies and consultants came together to share the best practices for fleet management and transport planning.\nApart from this, a number of experts shared their concerns over the usage of Big data in the region. Why is Big Data such a big deal nowadays? How do we plan efficiently and bring down the cost of data-mining? In order for smarter innovations to function at its best, it is deemed essential that the region utilizes data to the fullest, yet tooling up to handle this stuff requires major investment in computer hardware. Dubai is now recognised as the trendsetter of change, with large volumes of data generated from a number of connectivity platforms on a daily basis.\nAs for Ivan Reynolds, the Hub Manager at Borouge, smart people management technologies is of highest importance. No matter how smart technologies are, or will be, regardless of the scale of deployment -- they will still be operated, or controlled, by people. If users of the technologies are not qualified, or fitted to handle the job, technology will be simply misused. This will drastically affect the pace of implementation, which is crucial to success.\nA range of considerations have been voiced during the panel on \u201cthe implementation of smart technologies in fleet management\u201d.\nADAS systems are to play a pivotal role in the quest towards implementation of smart technologies in the region. Its higher adaptability in all passenger cars in some of the advanced economies gives this technology an edge. A range of regulations are becoming focused on mandating safety features for ADAS systems. These factors make the ADAS systems one of the most prominent technologies in the smart fleet management market.\nOther aspects of implementing smart fleet management tackled the development of infrastructures, which includes smart parks, and road planning and safety facilities, such as weight-in-motion projects, and live traffic monitoring with a range of useful applications, based on big data to give real-time awareness to citizens, fleet managers and agencies over the traffic condition in the cities.\nOverall, Location Solutions enjoyed the conference, and will be happy to collaborate with other platforms, aimed at empowering change in the region, and strengthening the effort of organisations that work together. On top of all, this is gratifying to understand that the region is on the verge of technology change, which we are by all means ready to empower.",

        "raw_content": "In the March 2012 edition of \u2018the LINK\u2019 I wrote an article entitled \u201cMy Musical Journey of Faith\u201d. For the last sixteen years I have also been on a parallel musical journey which began on 2nd May 1997. Historians will record that this was the date on which Tony Blair became Prime Minister, for me it was far more important\u2014the date when I presented myself at the Methodist Mission in Huddersfield to audition for the Huddersfield Choral Society.\nFor some time I had felt that I needed to broaden my musical horizons. I had spent many years singing in the choir at Thornhill Lees and later as pianist and choirmaster, but numbers in the choir had dwindled and younger people were no longer coming forward to fill the gaps. I had been a performing member of Batley Gilbert & Sullivan Society for many years, playing a variety of principal roles, but I had never intended to carry on performing into old age. I needed a new challenge and so I decided that I should join a choral society, but which one?\nMy decision was to start at the top, if Huddersfield didn\u2019t want me, I knew of other choirs where I would be welcomed with open arms. So here I was, wondering how the audition would go. I had been instructed to report to Andrea Crawshaw, the choir secretary, a lady who in subsequent years I came to hold in very high regard. I was obviously not the only one, judging by the number of singers who turned up to sing at her funeral after her untimely death three years ago.\nI had known a number of singers from The Choral over the years and was fortunate that one of them, who was well respected, had sponsored me on my application form. The Chorus Master at that time was Paul Leddington Wright, a name many of you will recognise from his many appearances on \u201cSongs of Praise\u201d. I knew that in the past he had been the director of the National Methodist Youth Choir and he had also directed Gilbert & Sullivan in his university years, so I thought it would do no harm to mention my Methodist and Gilbert & Sullivan connections on my application. Whether any of this carried weight at all I shall never know, but I felt my audition had gone quite well, and after a brief time waiting outside I was joined by Andrea and the society President who were both smiling. They offered me a place in the first bass section of the choir and I was invited to attend my first rehearsal that night, and so began another wonderful musical journey.\nOn that first night the choir was rehearsing William Walton\u2019s \u201cGloria\u201d and \u201cBelshazzar\u2019s Feast\u201d, two works which were far more difficult than anything I had ever sung before, but as I sat in the midst of all those singers and was engulfed by wave upon wave of the most wonderful music, I knew that this was where I wanted to be hopefully for many years to come. We sang those two works at my first concert when I found myself on the back row of the choir, a very long way from the conductor, and sitting next to just one other man who I found it very difficult to hear, talk about a baptism of fire!\nI did wonder after that first concert how long it would take me to progress to the front of the choir, the answer was \u201cNot very long\u201d. The following Summer we were to sing in the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall as one of the groups taking part in a \u201cChoir Day\u201d. As part of our twenty minute programme we were to sing Hubert Parry\u2019s \u201cI was Glad\u201d, one of the anthems sung at the coronation in 1953 and on many royal occasions since. It is a particular favourite of mine and I was very surprised to be asked to sing in the semi-chorus, a smaller group who sing one of the movements in the anthem, and so for this concert only I was promoted to the second row! It was in that concert that I found myself next to Neil Stones. Those who have sung in the Methodist Circuit Choir will know Neil as he has come over from Barnsley a number of times to help us in concerts. Back in Huddersfield of course I had to return to the back row and begin a very slow descent through the ranks until I now find myself more often than not on the third row from the front.\nThe Choral is of course famous for its annual performances of \u201cMessiah\u201d in Huddersfield Town Hall. I can remember very clearly my first performance which was conducted by Jane Glover, who has become one of my favourite conductors with whom to work. In the lead up to the concerts we had rehearsed with the chorus master for just half of one rehearsal, about one hour in all, and we only clapped eyes on Jane Glover when she walked on to the platform to conduct the performance. I shall remember that performance for ever. Jane Glover, as she always does, brought out the very best from the choir, and the performance rose to a climax in the \u201cAmen\u201d chorus. On the last page the sopranos enter on a loud top A, at that point I had to stop singing, a lump came to my throat and tears filled my eyes and I could not finish the chorus. That soprano top A affects me every time we sing \u201cMessiah\u201d, but I do now usually manage to complete the chorus, sometimes with a very wobbly voice!\nWhere has my wonderful journey taken me over the years? I have sung in many venues on the UK mainland; Albert Hall, The Barbican, Birmingham Symphony Hall, The Sage Gateshead, The Usher Hall Edinburgh, St David\u2019s Hall Cardiff, Bridgewater Hall, both Liverpool Cathedrals, York Minster and Coventry Cathedral to name but a few. We have twice sung for the Queen. We have sung in the St Magnus Festival on the Orkneys, and further afield we have been to France, Portugal, the Czech Republic, and as I write we are about to visit Spain in the next few weeks. But I guess the most amazing trip was to Japan six years ago when we sang in a very emotionally charged concert. We sang Benjamin Britten\u2019s \u201cWar Requiem\u201d with a very large Japanese choir just two days before Hiroshima Day, Wow! Another experience I will never forget.\nWherever the journey has taken me, one thing has remained constant, the importance of the music. There are the mammoth works like Delius\u2019 \u201cMass of Life\u201d, Mahler \u201cSymphony No. 8\u201dor Berlioz \u201cRequiem\u201d which we sang with two other choirs and an orchestra of over one hundred players at The Proms last Summer. I clearly remember the rehearsal down in London when all the forces came together for the first time. Sitting in front of me was one of our new young members who, after we had sung the first chorus, turned to those of us behind saying \u201cI think I\u2019ve just died and gone to heaven\u201d. Music can make you feel like that, sometimes the enormity of it all is just overwhelming! And then there are the very simple things like the version of \u201cLove came down at Christmas\u201d on our \u201cCarols Album\u201d. It begins with a verse sung by the altos, absolutely beautiful! Some music is memorable for different reasons. We once sang a newly commissioned work entitled \u201cAgamemnon\u2019s Tomb\u201d and, yes, the title says it all! So which work do I most enjoy singing? A very difficult question to answer, but if I had to make a choice Verdi\u2019s \u201cRequiem\u201d would come very near the top of the list, the orchestral interlude just before the \u201cTuba Mirum\u201d always sends a shiver down my spine!\nSo where will my journey take me next? What new music will I learn? With which famous singers and conductors will I get the opportunity to perform? The answer is \u201cI don\u2019t know\u201d, but I do know that the music will be frequently moving, occasionally frustrating, sometimes challenging, but always in the final performance fulfilling, and that this is a journey I want to stay with for as long as I possibly can.\nKeith Horner",

Every transaction flows from a journal to one or more ledgers. A company's financial statements are generated from summary totals in the ledgers.[2]\nLedgers include:\nSales ledger, records accounts receivable. This ledger consists of the financial transactions made by customers to the company.\nPurchase ledger records money spent for purchasing by the company.\nGeneral ledger representing the five main[3][citation needed] account types: assets, liabilities, income, expenses, and Capital.\nFor every debit recorded in a ledger, there must be a corresponding credit so that the debits equal the credits in the grand totals.\nTypes on the basis of purpose[edit]\nThe three types of ledgers are the general, debtors, and creditors.[4] The general ledger accumulates information from journals. Each month all journals are totaled and posted to the General Ledger. The purpose of the General Ledger is therefore to organize and summarize the individual transactions listed in all the journals. The Debtor Ledger accumulates information from the sales journal. The purpose of the Debtors Ledger is to provide knowledge about which customers owe money to the business, and how much. The Creditors Ledger accumulates information from the purchases journal. The purpose of the Creditors Ledger is to provide knowledge about which suppliers the business owes money to, and how much.\nTypes on the basis of format[edit]\nA ledger can have the following two formats.\nPhysical ledger[edit]\nThis type of ledger is made up of paper. It can be physically touched. Ledgers were invented several centuries ago and this used to be the only available form until the widespread adoption of computers, in the mid to late 20th century.\nDigital ledger[edit]\nThis type of ledger is a digital file, or collection of files, or a database. It can be manipulated only by means of computer programs, since it does not have a physical form.\nLedger from 1828\nThe term ledger stems from the English dialect forms liggen or leggen, meaning \"to lie or lay\" (Dutch: liggen or leggen, German: liegen or legen); in sense it is adapted from the Dutch substantive legger, properly \"a book laying or remaining regularly in one place\". Originally, a ledger was a large volume of scripture or service book kept in one place in church and openly accessible. According to Charles Wriothesley's Chronicle (1538), \"The curates should provide a booke of the bible in Englishe, of the largest volume, to be a ledger in the same church for the parishioners to read on.\"\nIn application of this original meaning the commercial usage of the term is for the \"principal book of account\" in a business house.\nDistributed ledger, sometimes called a shared ledger, is a consensus of replicated, shared, and synchronized digital data geographically spread across multiple sites, countries, and/or institutions.[5]\n^ From the English dialect norms liggen or leggen, to lie or lay; in sense adapted from the Dutch substantive legger\n^ Haber, Jeffry (2004).

        "raw_content": "PhD candidate in history at the University of Massachusetts Amherst\nThe split between Iran and Hamas in the aftermath of the Syrian crisis has been the biggest challenge to Tehran\u2019s Palestine strategy since the 1979 Revolution. Internally, it has exposed Iranian policy to questions about supporting an \u201cungrateful\u201d ally; externally, it has damaged Iran\u2019s \u201csoft\u201d influence in the Middle East. Despite tensions and thinly veiled criticisms of Hamas, in the past few years the doors in Tehran have remained open to Hamas\u2019 leadership. Now the U.S. policy of creating a Saudi-led \u201cSunni\u201d coalition to isolate Iran and Trump\u2019s siding with Saudi Arabia against Qatar after linking Hamas to terrorism during his visit to Riyadh are drawing Tehran and Hamas closer. The reason that a country with no shared borders with Israel supports Hamas and has pursued, since 1979, a costly strategy to engage with Palestinians who are neither \u201cPersian\u201d nor \u201cShia\u201d lies in historical and geopolitical factors that do not figure much in Trump\u2019s sectarian conception of the region.\nAlong with Lebanese Hezbollah, Syria and Iran, Hamas has constituted a crucial element of the \u201cAxis of Resistance,\u201d a cross-sectarian coalition that greatly influenced the politics of the Middle East for over three decades. The crisis in Syria, which soured Hamas\u2019s relations with President Assad, and the ascendance of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt fractured the quadruple Axis. Despite Iranian efforts to mediate between the Palestinian group and Assad, and the continuation of the high-level contacts with the Hamas leadership, Tehran could not prevent the rupture between its allies. The gulf created between Hamas and Syria became deeper when Khaled Meshal raised the flag of the Syrian opposition at a Gaza rally and Hamas militants were caught fighting along with the opposition militias against the Syrian army. In the eyes of Assad, Hamas betrayed him and sided with his archenemy, the Muslim Brotherhood. From this moment on, the Syrian-Hamas split was also an Iranian problem.\nThis was in many ways reminiscent of the conflict in the mid-1980s between Hafez al-Assad and Yasser Arafat, which immediately spilled over into the PLO\u2019s relationship with Iran. Consequently, the much-hoped-for Arafat-Khomeini axis came to an early end, though not revolutionary Iran\u2019s engagement with the Palestinian struggle. Iran\u2019s alternative to the Palestinian Liberation Organization were the emerging Islamic movements in Palestine: Islamic Jihad and Hamas. As Tehran and Damascus consolidated their partnership in the 1990s, Iran\u2019s support for the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance forces became increasingly linked to its alliance with Syria. After years of tension and conflict between Hezbollah and Damascus and its Lebanese proxies, by the end of the 1980s, through Iranian mediation, Hezbollah accepted Syrian control over Lebanon. Similarly, the Iranian clerics managed to cement the axis further by interceding between Hamas Islamists and the secular Baathists who had crushed the Islamic opposition in Syria.\nWhen, in early 2012, Hamas quietly abandoned its base in Syria, the reaction in Damascus and Tehran was vociferous. Although Iran\u2019s official reaction was subdued, Meshal was the target of sharp criticism in the Iranian media. Some conservative news websites vehemently objected to any normalization with Meshal and \u2014 after rumors about his possible visit to Tehran in 2015 \u2014 even demanded \u201cbanning him from entering Iran.\u201d A few months ago, a general in the Revolutionary Guard, without mentioning Meshal, lambasted his group for cooperating with Turkey and Saudi Arabia and making clandestine deals with Israel.\nInside Iran, tensions with Hamas have brought to the fore an old debate about the raison d\u2019\u00eatre of engagement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. That is why this issue matters, even though Iran does not share borders with Palestine and Palestinians, as some ordinary Iranians say, are neither Persian nor Shia. While such questions are as old as the 1979 revolution, the rift with Hamas has also raised similar questions within the core constituency of the Islamic Republic. In the words of an Iranian official, \u201cHamas\u2019 position of backing the Syrian opposition has made it difficult to explain our support for Hamas to the Iranian public.\u201d\nMaking matters worse, a meeting between Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the leader of the notorious Iranian opposition group Mojahedin-e Khalq in Paris last year \u2014 and Hamas\u2019s new political document recognizing the 1967 borders \u2014 caused a strong backlash among Iranian commentators and authors. Some argue that such actions reveal the futility of supporting the Palestinian struggle, while \u200eothers ridicule the government\u2019s pro-Palestinian rhetoric and see it as a problem for the \u200enational interest.\nAs much as it sounds like an \u201cunnatural\u201d and costly partnership, the enduring bonds between Iran and the Palestinian resistance and the Iranian government\u2019s persistent support for Palestinian movements, should be analyzed against the background of the ideology of the 1979 revolution and Iran\u2019s geostrategic concerns.\nThe historical context in which the Iranian Revolution unfolded explains the ideological weight of the Palestinian cause for the state, which emerged from the ashes of the imperial regime in 1979. The Revolution\u2019s view of the Israel-Palestinian conflict developed in response to the shah\u2019s alliance with Israel and the close intelligence cooperation between Mossad and Savak, the shah\u2019s notorious secret police. In the 1970s, the PLO and leftists groups assisted Iranian opposition to the shah with intelligence and military training in Lebanon and Syria. Following the fall of the shah, Yasser Arafat was the first foreign leader to visit revolutionary Iran; the Israeli embassy was officially handed over to him as the Palestinian embassy in Tehran. The Palestinian cause became the centerpiece of the export of the Iranian Revolution.\nDespite the ubiquitous sectarian narratives of the Iranian revolution and its international ramifications, the ideas of 1979 emphasized the unity among Muslim sects and sought to create a united Islamic front against the common enemies of the umma (the community). The Palestinian issue has been of absolute importance to this strategy. It is of the utmost symbolic significance for all Muslims and the cornerstone for any ecumenical agenda in the Muslim world. If Muslims are divided over Syria, Yemen or Bahrain, the resistance to Israeli occupation is considered a just cause that transcends sect and ethnicity. This has been central to the Iranian pan-Islamic rhetoric of unifying the Muslim community and its \u201csoft\u201d influence across the Islamic world. The sectarian surge in the region further underlines the values of this strategy for the ruling clerics, who seek to legitimize Iranian influence both in the region and in the eyes of Sunni communities in Iran.\nIran\u2019s enduring bonds with the Palestinian resistance should not be reduced to mere ideology and revolutionary zeal. It is also a strategy for overcoming Iran\u2019s ethno-religious isolation in its environment. Iran is predominantly Shia and Persian, two characteristics that have greatly shaped the Iranian identity in the modern period. Both the Pahlavis and the Islamic Republic sought to overcome such ethnic and cultural barriers to its regional influence. In contrast to the shah\u2019s alliance with Israel, post-revolutionary Iran has stood by the Palestinian struggle as a bridge to the Arab and Sunni communities in the Middle East.\nFrom Pakistan to Morocco, revolutionary Iran\u2019s political influence owed greatly to its avant-garde pro-Palestinian position. Iran\u2019s popularity has suffered, however, following its expansion in Iraq and its siding with Alawi minority rule in the wake of the Syrian uprising. Intervention in these countries has highlighted the Shii dimensions of Iran\u2019s policies, rather than its cross-sectarian revolutionary character. Although Hamas is seen as the weakest party in the \u201cAxis of Resistance,\u201d for years it lent a very credible Sunni dimension to Iran\u2019s regional policy. Following the Syrian crisis, the split with the movement has further chipped away at Iran\u2019s soft power in a region increasingly polarized along sectarian lines.\nThe outgrowth of the pan-Shii dimension of Iran\u2019s foreign policy, at the expense of its wider pan-Islamic approach, is a contradiction that partly reflects internal differences and factionalism between \u201creformists\u201d and \u201cconservatives,\u201d who pursue a sectarian agenda. The identification of Iran\u2019s regional policy with Shiism hampers its outreach to Sunni movements and its ability to present itself as a champion of resistance for both Sunni and Shii movements. This gives Iran\u2019s enemies the opportunity to depict Iranians as heretic Persians and undermine Tehran's effort to overcome the ethnic and cultural barriers to its regional influence.\nDespite the tension between Iran\u2019s pan-Shii and pan-Islamic foreign policies, the Palestinian cause will remain a cornerstone of its regional perspective. If analyzed in the context of Iran\u2019s ethno-religious solitude in the region, \u201cSunni\u201d \u201cArab\u201d Palestinians are far from alien to a predominantly \u201cPersian\u201d and \u201cShii\u201d Iran, and siding with them is crucial for legitimizing its polices in the region. This is why Tehran, unlike Assad in Syria, did not sever ties with Hamas and now has welcomed the rise of Ismail Hanieh to its leadership.\nThe insight of this analysis goes against the grain of the sectarian conceptions of many Western policy makers, including those in the Trump administration, who overplay the Sunni-Shii dichotomy in the Middle East. Trump, oblivious to the complexities of this region, seeks to create a \u201cSunni\u201d coalition to isolate Iran and undermine its \u201cShii Crescent.\u201d If designed to separate Tehran from forces such as Hamas, this approach will fail to produce the desired effect. The more pressured by the United States to stop backing \u201cterrorists and militias\u201d or threatened by ISIS or Saudi Arabia, the more Iran clings to its Palestinian strategy in order to cast a favorable light on its regional policies and \u201cresistance.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Lovers of Tiki decor and a good cocktail within reach of London are doubly blessed for, lurking below the Hilton in Park Lane, is not just a fantastic Tiki-themed cocktail bar, but also one of the original chain of post-War Trader Vic\u2019s, now one of the longest surviving anywhere.\nFirst the history bit. \u2018Vic\u2019 is Victor Bergeron who, as a 31 year-old entrepreneur, opened his first Polynesian-themed restaurant in Oakland, near San Francisco, in 1934. By the time the Second World War rolled around, he\u2019d opened another in Seattle, but it was the explosion in Tiki culture, fuelled by the thousands of former Servicemen who\u2019d experienced a little of the local culture in the South Pacific, that saw Trader Vic\u2019s take off as a chain. By the late 50s and early 60s, there were up to 25 outlets operating worldwide, all sharing the same theme and drinks menu.\nAnd that\u2019s where London comes in. In 1962, Conrad Hilton was preparing for the opening of his new hotel in Park Lane and, as he\u2019d done elsewhere with new venues, invited Bergeron to open a London branch of Trader Vic\u2019s in the basement, capitalising on the worldwide popularity of the brand that matched the Hilton image of affluent modern eating and drinking. It\u2019s my great fortune to know someone who was there at the opening in 1963 \u2013 the Executive Assistant Manager for the new hotel, Douglas Gordon. Douglas has confirmed that the Trader Vic\u2019s we know now is pretty much as it was on that first night under the management of Helmun Petrak, when Conrad Hilton attended the opening with former wife Zsa Zsa Gabor.\nThe London Trader Vic\u2019s in the Early Days\nAs the popularity of the Tiki theme waned in the 70s and 80s, branches of Trader Vic\u2019s started to disappear, including most of those in the United States (the Wikipedia entry has a full list of opening and closing dates). Thus the London branch is not only one of the most long-standing, but thanks to the longevity of the hotel itself, is one of the most original. A fire a few years ago had many of its fans holding their breath, but the damage was limited to a small area. More worrying was its closure in 2013 for a half-century refurbishment. Would it be ruined in the drive to attract more customers in search of West End \u2018bling\u2019? We made our first re-visit with some trepidation, but were delighted to find that this was genuinely a concerted effort to return the venue to its original freshness, cleaning away 50 years of nicotine from the bamboo walls and ceiling, and replacing the worn upholstery with something new but very appropriate.\nVic at Work\nTrader Vic\u2019s is a place best visited with friends, and we were lucky enough to make our most recent call with some of our very closest, and those for whom, no matter how often they visit, Vic\u2019s represents a special pilgrimage in search of a slice of 1950s Americana. The drinks are expertly mixed, with many of them faithfully following recipies from the original 1940s cocktail list, including the signature 1944 Mai Tai. Indeed the list itself is barely changed from the original design; sadly, the prices have kept pace with inflation, but in comparison with what you would pay elsewhere in London, let alone the West End, are fair for what you get. Going with friends allows you to compare and share, as deciding is hard. Will it be one of the original mixes, something in an outrageous drinking vessel (and I mean vessel \u2013 if there\u2019s enough of you, try the canoe!), or something with a Menehune or Parrot attached to the straw that you can take home? Needless to say, you can eat there, too, though on this occasion we were warming up for a night at the 100 Club, about which I\u2019ll be writing tomorrow!\nFor addicts of the Tiki scene, there are a couple of gorgeous Tachen books, starting at the light end of the bookshelf with Tiki Style and going up to a coffee table monster, but an absolute gem in Tiki Pop. Of course, Trader Vic\u2019s in London has its own website and Facebook page where you can pick up on the various events that they run.\nBy Midcentury Clive|September 22nd, 2016|Eating & Drinking|0 Comments",

There have been many times in my life where I would speak so eloquently, that I would surprise myself, not knowing where the words, the ideas, the thoughts were coming from. Surely, I did not think of them all on my own. At those times, I really felt like I was \u201cchanneling\u201d a higher source, that I was just being used as a mouthpiece. And then a little later, I would, in all excitement, try to make the same discourse to another person, and nothing would click. It was embarrassing. How could I have been so fluent with one person, and so inarticulate with another, just hours later.\nI thought maybe the different people I was with were \u201cdrawing\u201d different patterns of speech from me. That I was responding to the listener\u2019s receptivity to me.\nBut ultimately, I realized that my \u201cflow\u201d was a result of my state immediately preceding the event. And then I thought about the opening lines of the central prayer of the Jewish religion \u2013 The Amidah:\n\u201cLord, open my lips and my mouth will declare Thy praise\u201d.\nThat if I can just become in tune with what the Universe wants me to say, and get out of my own way, and ask the \u201cOne\u201d to open my lips, and use me as a megaphone, all will be well. And what comes out of my lips will be in the \u201cflow\u201d.\nI just hope that I remember to have my digital recorder on while I am talking, because, most of the time \u201cI had no idea what I\u2019d said\u201d.\nThank you for making these teachings available so freely. I look forward to your Thursday emails announcing another post. Sometimes though I don\u2019t have the time in this \u201csped-up culture that continues to accelerate,\u201d to read the whole post.\nPerhaps an \u201cedited\u201d version for those of us time challenged?",

The door in the film represents a pathway to who we are.\u201d\nClothing is also a symbol of renewal, each change of costume charting our heroine\u2019s emergence from a chrysalis of sadness. In the final scenes, she takes off her ring, pulls on long, black leather gloves, and walks, transformed by the emotive power of the clothing, through the door.\nAva DuVernay was the first African-American woman to win the Best Director Prize at Sundance Film Festival, for her second feature, Middle of Nowhere, in 2012. The Door stars Gabrielle Union, Alfre Woodard, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Adepero Oduye and singer-songwriter Goapele.",

        "raw_content": "Pressure and Force\nPressure is force exerted against a specific area (force per unit area) expressed in pounds per square inch (psi). Pressure can cause an expansion, or resistance to compression, of a fluid that is being squeezed. A fluid is any liquid or gas (vapor). Force is anything that tends to produce or modify (push or pull) motion and is expressed in pounds.\nAn example of pressure is the air (gas) that fills an automobile tire. As a tire is inflated, more air is squeezed into it than it can hold. The air inside a tire resists the squeezing by pushing outward on the casing of the tire. The outward push of the air is pressure. Equal pressure throughout a confined area is a characteristic of any pressurized fluid. For example, in an inflated tire, the outward push of the air is uniform throughout. If it were not, a tire would be pushed into odd shapes because of its elasticity.\nPosted in: Hydraulic Basics\t| Tagged: Force, Pressure\nHydraulic Reservoirs \u2192",

        "raw_content": "MOHAP Launches Prevention and Screening Unit as part of \u2018e-Etmnan\u2019 Program for Regular Screening of Non-Communicable Diseases.\nThe UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) launched Prevention and Screening Unit as part of its \u2018e-Etmnan\u2019 program for regular screening of non-communicable diseases. This comes within the framework of MOHAP participation in Arab Health Exhibition & Congress (Arab Health 2019), which is being held between 28-31 January.\nThe Ministry is aiming to establish a preventive medical unity specialized in screening, to promote early detection of non-communicable diseases within 3 years. The unit will study the co-relation between risk factors and geographical, ethnic, and cultural factors through big data analytics. MOHAP also introduced treatment units equipped with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, to suggest treatment regimens based on best clinical practices. These will become a reference point for the healthcare professionals. It will also allow organizing proactive campaigns, on both national and individual levels.\nThe unit will allow healthcare staff at the Ministry to access interactive analytics dashboards, to analyze risk factors data, gathered through necessary screening and diagnostic tests. The unit is also attached to a comprehensive clinic, allowing the healthcare staff to complete the patients\u2019 preventive medical record, with a convenience to help boost their commitment to the preventive regimen.\nHis Excellency Dr. Hussein Al Rand, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health for the Centers and Clinics, said: \u201claunching this e-unit within \u2018e-Etmnan\u2019 program comes inline the Ministry's strategic efforts to fight non-communicable diseases within the next 5 years (2017 - 2021)\u201d.\nH.E. pointed that the project is an excellent addition to the preventive healthcare services, as the prevention and screening unit in \u201ce-Etmnan\u201d program will realize a shift in the healthcare focus form treatment to prevention, based on a predictive, preventive, personalized, and shared concept. It will also allow patients to conduct a yearly full scan in almost 20 minutes. The prevention and screening unit will employ a flexible system able to integrate quickly and deeply with the Heath Information Systems (HIS), as well as the National Unified Medical Record Program in the UAE.\nDr. Hussein mentioned that the study was conducted successfully on \u201ce-Etmnan\u201d program, during Q1 and Q2 of 2018, at the \u201cFamily Health Promotion Center\u201d in Sharjah, scanning over 100 patients. More patients are participating in the screening, with their data being added to the current statistics. Additionally, screening helps reduce treatment costs through actions to help prevent the disease rather than treating it. The benefits of the program were proven after 5 years of implementation, as statistics in Belgium showed that for every 14 Euros spent on prevention, 5,000 - 6,000 Euros can be saved on treatment.\nDr. Haifa Hamad Fares, Head of the Ministry of Health and Prevention's Primary Health Care Programme Section, said: \u201cEarly detection makes treating diseases easier, more efficient and affordable, while allowing to categorize patients as per the best treatment.\nThe unit allows to assess the risks by analyzing the data gathered through a questionnaire. The questionnaire includes a number of interactive questions based on proven scientific studies, and World Health Organization guidelines.\nRisk categories include cardiovascular diseases; diabetes types 1 & 2; cervical cancer; breast cancer; depression; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; colon cancer; alcohol and drug addictions; as well as tips on healthy life style, smoking, abidance by treatment requirements, hearing test, osteoporosis, vitamin D deficiency, and vaccination.",

        "raw_content": "I have not, I am still finishing up the final parts of this book to get it to the printer to print the hard copies. I have another Book of Mormon project 3/4 done (unrelated to this) that I am trying to finish up. That might be an interesting project, noone has suggested that I do that up til now.\nFor unknown script, the best test is to apply it to another example of the unknown text. I did that with the four separate characters recorded by Oliver Cowdery/Frederick G. Williams where we had a translation from Joseph Smith. It is of course a very small sample but translation technique did prove an exact match. A secondary test is whether the text as translated is consistent with the rest of the known Book of Mormon text, since there are overlaps in calendar and content. It is exactly consistent with the existing Book of Mormon. There are other tertiary tests, namely looking at the calendrical glyphs vs. the Maya glyphs. Anyway, I did the best I could with the limited examples that we have of the text. Other experts may have further insight, I'm hoping that they will engage and look at it, that would be great.\nI am hopeful that others will look at it, that is one reason that it is available for free to anyone. Part of the problem is that there aren't too many experts conversant in Mayan and Egyptian, so one has to try to piecemeal it academically. The other problem is that it is time consuming for experts to go through it in a detailed way, I did pay some small honoriums for a cursory review by some experts. I am guessing I will need to pay someone a significan amount of money to do it, but that might trigger allegations of bias. Anyway, we'll just have to see how it goes, whatever anyone might think of the translation, I do think that at a minimum it can be said that there are clear Mesoamerican and Egyptian elements in the text, and that there are straigtforward number groups and calendrical indicators, which I believe is a step forward in understanding the document.\nI downloaded the Geology of the Book Of Mormon. I'm not a scholar but I'm enjoying the book. Thanks!\nI couldn't wrap my head around most of it, but I also enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing Piccione.\njkwilliams comment is not entirely accurate. The numerals are primarily Palestinian Egyptian hieratic or standard Egyptian hieratic. There are a couple Mesoamerican numerals. I did not rely very much on Ariel Crowley's work for the translation, As far as Albright's criticisms I spent significant time discussing this issue (which was a similar issue involving the decipherment of Egytian hieroglyphs and Mayan, there was nothing 'perceptive' in pointing this issue out.\nI said that that was \"Very perceptive. Back in the late 40s, William F. Albright made a similar criticism of Ariel Crowley's comparisons -- which consisted of hieratic and demotic signs taken from widely varying periods.\"\nThe problem is that you are not using signs from one coherent period (diachronic versus sychronic coverage). However, I would be willing to overlook that considerable problem, if you could show how your translation relates to the parallels internal to the two large chiasms of the Caractors Document -- as shown by Bryant and Brown. That is a crucial test of your hypothesis.\nI anticipate further clarification research on the coherent period issue, (I mention that in the book, as that type of analysis will be extensive and time consuming given the number of characters), items that may be confounding are whether Egyptian records taken were from the period of departure (brass plates, etc.) will also need to be addressed and will not doubt add significant research time. In any event, I totally agree that it is an area that definitely warrants further work.\nThe issue of chiasmus is very interesting, I did not really look at that issue at all (and was not aware of the paper you cited) but now that I have started to look at it, there look to be very intriguing consistencies. Initially I was inclined to presume that given the nature of the text as being heavy on chronology as opposed to prose that perhaps one would not expect to see much as my familiarity with chiasmus was more of a literary structure. However, interestingly, I identified independently that there were two discreet (somewhat unrelated) sections in the document, so did the chiasmus analysis you provided. I identified that the first section looked to be a complete discreet literary unit, so did the chiasmus analysis you provided. I identified the second section as appearing incomplete, especially at the end, so did the chiasmus analysis. I identified the use of small scale glyphic \"mirroring\" which has similarities to chiastic structure. Very fascinating. I am planning on doing a follow-up publication to further research issues raised from the initial book, this will definitely be one of them. Do you have particular experts in chiasmus that you could recommend? I anticipated funding research beyond the initial publication (one cannot be an expert in everything I am afraid, so understand I will need to compensate people for their time). As I mentioned in the book, the translation that I rendered was more for meaning putting it into contemporary English, I did not attempt to preserve the underlying linguistic structure (such as chiasmus), the underlying Egyptian grammar etc also definitely needs further research.\nThanks for your comments, this is exactly what I was hoping for in putting out the initial book electronically.",

Its combinatorics is crucial in works of Thurston and Penner\u2019s decorated Teichmuller theory. In this talk we will explore some geometric properties of this graph, in particular we will see that it provides a coarse model of the mapping class group in which the mapping class groups of some subsurfaces are strongly convex. We will also establish some bounds on the growth of the diameter of the flip graph modulo the mapping class group, generalising a result of Sleator-Tarjan-Thurston.

        "raw_content": "'Perfect' will put you in your feelings\nLong before \u201cLocation\u201d became a platinum hit, the first song Khalid ever released was a breakup anthem called \u201cSaved\u201d that he uploaded to SoundCloud as a \u201crough draft.\u201d\nNow, the 19-year-old has followed that same blueprint with a raw acoustic song called \u201cPerfect\u201d that he uploaded to the streaming service on Wednesday night (September 20). There\u2019s nothing but an acoustic guitar and Khalid\u2019s heavenly vocals at work, as he sings, \u201cI\u2019ve been on my own for a long time / I\u2019m feeling kind of lonely / Nothing\u2019s fun when I\u2019m the only one out here who knows me.\u201d\nSure, it doesn\u2019t have the glossy production of his American Teen singles \u2014 or his high-profile collaborations with Lorde and Calvin Harris \u2014 but \u201cPerfect\u201d still has all the emotion we\u2019ve come to expect from Khalid. If you had any doubts about why he won the VMA for Best New Artist, look no further.\nhttps://soundcloud.com/thegreatkhalid/perfect-rough-draft\nOn Twitter, Khalid called \u201cPerfect\u201d a \u201csong from the soul\u201d and wrote in a follow-up message, \u201cThe first song I released was a rough draft on SoundCloud. I'm leaving this on SoundCloud as well. Thank you guys, love you.\u201d\nhttp://www.mtv.com/video-clips/ajl0cq/artist-to-watch-khalid-talks-location-more",

        "raw_content": "Corporate News Jazz Mobilink\nJazz & I-SAPS Showcase Potential of Mobile Adult Female Literacy Program\nInstitute of Social and Policy Sciences (I-SAPS), in collaboration with Jazz and GuarantCo, held a showcase event to share the success of their Mobile-based Adult Female Literacy Programme in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and the lessons learnt from the programme, which can be utilized for similar projects in the future.\nThe \u2018SMS-based Adult Female Literacy Programme\u2019 under the combined efforts of I-SAPS, Jazz and GuarantCo, has so far enabled over 4,000 adult females to read the newspaper, write in Urdu, perform everyday calculations and gain necessary life skills.\nThis is being done with the help of four specifically-designed textbooks and freely-given mobile phones in eight districts of KP, namely, Mardan, Swabi, Nowshera, Buner, Malakand, Haripur, Mansehra and Kohat, where more than three out of every five females are unable to read and write.\nThe chief guests for the showcase event included Ms. Anusha Rahman Ahmad Khan, Minister of State for Information Technology & Telecom, Engr. Qamar ul Islam Raja, Chairperson, Standing Committee on Education \u2013 Punjab, Ms. Judith Herbertson, Deputy Country Head \u2013 Department for International Development, Dr. Shahzad Khan Bangash, Secretary of Elementary & Secondary Education \u2013 KP, and Aamir Ibrahim, CEO \u2013 Mobilink & Warid Pakistan.\n\u201cIn developing countries, Mobile Learning has become an effective medium to improve access to education and facilitate the alternative learning processes. Besides improving access, it has also proved effective in evading structural limitations, such as cost and infrastructure, as showcased by the success of the \u2018SMS-based Adult Female Literacy Programme\u2019 in KP,\u201d said Ms. Anusha Rahman Khan. \u201cThe government supports the use of Information and Communication Technology to empower women across Pakistan.\u201d\n\u201cOur Mobile Literacy project in KP looked to overcome the prevalent social and cultural barriers to female education. The project\u2019s success was achieved by respecting the existing cultural and social norms, developing a sense of ownership amongst the local communities in providing basic literacy to their female family members, and introducing innovation,\u201d said Dr. Salman Humayun, Executive Director \u2013 I-SAPS. \u201cWe believe that a customised curriculum along with the use of Information and Communication Technologies is the future of sustained learning, especially in areas with low literacy rates.\u201d\n\u201cOur group-wide \u2018Make Your Mark\u2019 (MYM) initiative feeds directly into Mobilink\u2019s corporate responsibility strategy by helping young people in Pakistan through technology, expertise and knowledge. This Mobile Literacy programme is one of the initiatives under the MYM platform, and allows us to utilize leadership position to reach out to those females who are cut off entirely from the conventional educational system,\u201d said Aamir Ibrahim. \u201cWe look forward to continuing our work with I-SAPS and GuarantCo in a bid to empower women across the country, so they too reap the benefits of the ongoing digitalization across the world.\u201d\nSince community ownership was deemed a cornerstone to make this Mobile-based initiative sustainable, active members of the communities were engaged, sensitised and grouped in the form of 154 Village Education Support Committees for their practical involvement in the planning and execution of the initiative. The members of these committees include representatives from all sections of the community, especially the respected elders and influential individuals.\nAs a result, I-SAPS and Jazz not only had an all-out community support in identification of local female teachers and learners in each of the district, but also managed to establish around 150 easily-accessible Adult Literacy Centres (ALCs), where adult females of ages between 15 and 35 years were enrolled and imparted basic literacy skills.\nAs the learners gained some level of literacy during their basic literacy coursework, each of them has been provided with a mobile phone in order to practice and further develop their newly acquired skills.\nIn early 2013, the \u2018SMS Based Literacy\u2019 program won the GSMA\u2019s Global Mobile Award in the \u2018Connected Life Awards\u2019 category, and was acknowledged as the \u2018Best Mobile Education or Learning Product or Service\u2019.\nThe program was highlighted by the competition\u2019s jury as an \u201cExcellent and needed mobile initiative with an explicit educational ideology that opens up new learning opportunities for a disadvantaged, rural group.\u201d",

Adapting a Classical Greco-Roman aesthetic to incorporate emojis, basketball, Yeezy sneakers, and Louis Vuitton apparel, O\u2019Connor\u2019s paintings are humorous, unexpected, and thought-provoking, raising important questions about the constructed identity of man. O\u2019Connor has created a playfully anachronistic world in which Hercules is a frat boy and Ronaldo is a demi-god, where muscled bodies flex, flaunt, and flirt with each other and the viewer.\nO\u2019Connor holds an MFA from Parsons School of Design, New York. He has previously exhibited at galleries including Room 68 (Provincetown, MA), How\u2019s Howard (Boston, MA), and the Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art (New York, NY). His work has also been featured in publications such as The Advocate, GAYLETTER, and Hello Mr.\nSpecial thanks to our international panel of Open Call jurors, who assisted in the selection of O\u2019Connor\u2019s work: Colin Davidson, Manuela Pacella, Matthew Poole, and Rachel Steinberg.\nThurs 16 Aug 2018, 6-8pm\nWith DJ Girls on the decks, join us for an evening of wine and art. Enjoying being amongst the first to see HERO WORSHIP. This event is free and all are welcome.\nThurs 06 Sept 2018, 6-8pm\nEnjoy Hero Worship after hours as part of Belfast's monthly Late Night Art.\nWED 19 SEPT 2018, 6-8PM\nThe Naughton Gallery presents William Shakespeare\u2019s Romeo + Juliet (dir. Baz Luhrmann, 1996) as part of its SCREEN/PRINT series, which sees artists design new posters for films that have inspired or influenced their practices. Romeo + Juliet has been selected by HERO WORSHIP artist, Sean O\u2019Connor. All attendees receive a free copy of O\u2019Connor\u2019s poster. Purchase your tickets at Queen's Film Theatre to see Luhrmann's iconic film on the big screen.\nSean O'Connor was selected out of almost 150 entries as the winner of our 2017 Open Call. The gallery received solo exhibition proposals from international and local artists, choosing a shortlist of seven artists including O'Connor.

        "raw_content": "TLE Interviews Michael Badnarik\nYe Olde Editor, in Tux\nPenthouse/Ballroom of the Historic Puck Building,\nNew York City, March 27, 2004\nBoycott Verizon Communications!\nLadies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, we're back from the so-called \"Big Apple\", a name that makes no sense to me. \"The Big Dirty Place\" might be a better, or at least more accurate nickname. Or \"The Really, Really, Really Crowded Place\" even better!\nHowever, that famous New Yawker rudeness and general incivility was nowhere in evidence, everybody I talked to or interacted with was polite and friendly. Riding the subway was interesting, but nothing more. Central Park was very nice ... I'm sure it keeps many people sane having a bit of open space with trees and grass and such.\nOne of the bride's uncles explained \"We're New Yorker's, we don't give a shit.\" I refrained from explaining that non-New Yorker's don't give a shit whether New Yorkers give a shit or not. I was a guest, after all.\nPat's son's wedding was ... well, it was \"lovely\" is what it was. No other word serves, in spite of the well known fact that \"Real Men Don't Say 'Lovely'\". Honest, it is well-known where I come from! (He says, resting his hand on the butt of his .44 Magnum revolver and squinting his eyes under the shade of his cowboy hat.)\nYes, I wore a tuxedo, for the first time in my life. Probably the last time too. Never did figure out how that silly little tie was supposed to be positioned relative to the silly little shirt collar. Ah well .... And no, I didn't wear my Walther under the jacket. Honest!\nWhat with the week-off, the ol' in-box is full of articles, more than enough for two issues of TLE, so you'll be seeing them \"as time goes by\".\nLetters from John LuValle, Joe Kultgen, Doug Heard, e.j.totty, and Zan Lynx\nFirst things first, Mike. Why are you in competition for the Libertarian Party's nomination for the Presidency of the United States?\nReal-World Economics\nJob Growth Stalled Despite Bush Administration Oracles\u0097But So What?\nMy innaugural article for NetPlanetNets will be typical of my future columns: a focus on real-world economics and how it impacts your financial and personal security. There are lots of people out there who can teach you basic economics, and even more who will mislead you with plainly boneheaded thinking (often self-serving). This isn't that kind of newspaper, and I'm not that kind of author. I'm going to give you news, analysis, insights, and strategies on economics that will help you take charge of your career, your life, your business, and your economic future\u0097or least give you ideas that you can put to good use.\nReview of Hope\nIf any of you have read any of my articles over the last few months since I started writing for TLE, you know that I am a big fan of L. Neil Smith's books, second only to the great Robert A. Heinlein. Even though it started with The Probability Broach, Pallas, and Henry Martyn, what really fixed his place in my library was the book Hope, co-written with Aaron Zelman, of Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.\nTaking Baby Steps Toward Freedom\nSome close friends of mine had an exceptional weekend. They've just became the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy (who, unlike some newborns, actually is beautiful). Mom and baby are just fine; Dad is as proud of both of them as you might expect him to be.\nFor quite a while, folks have been asking for my opinion of the Free State Project, a try at moving as many libertarians as possible into one of America's smaller states, so that they can finally have something to say about the political conditions they're compelled to live under, as well as having libertarian neighbors, libertarian schools (better yet, libertarian homeschool associations) for their children, and maybe even libertarian businesses to deal with and work for.\nBoycott of Verizon Communications\nVerizon Communications has a written policy which requires all employees to forfeit the ability to adequately defend themselves from criminals, rendering them helpless on the job. The company's Code of Business Conduct, publicly available on its website, states:\nWeight Loss and a Free State\nSo what do the two have to do with one another, I hear you ask. Lots. In the year of our Lord 2003 A.D., your old Kaptain managed to lose nearly 40 pounds, most of it from his belly. It wasn't easy, but once I got serious and devoted myself to the project, it worked\u0097eventually.\nLaw Versus Reality, Part IV\nThis is by far the longest I've ever expounded on a single topic. I wasn't intending to, honestly. Unfortunately, as I get e-mail critical of my assertions, I find that it's necessary to delve into additional detail. My basic thesis is that from a moral and practical perspective, it is impossible for a single individual to have sole ownership of known, public information. I've argued that information shares none of property's unique characteristics, therefore information cannot be treated as identical to property.\nReading Between the Numbers\n\"According to 'experts', growing numbers of women are traumatised by childbirth and are not capable of child-rearing without professional help.\" Last week, with these words, sociologist Dr. Ellie Lee cast doubt upon the increasingly popular theory that postnatal depression affects as many as 1 in 5 new mothers. She said the research underlying that claim is \"wrong.\" How can we trust research?",

        "raw_content": "Sex and the City: a most powerful image in 2012\nLook at the picture above, what do you see? That\u2019s the front cover of City A.M. on 28-Feb-12 showing what \u00a367.7bn can buy in the UK public sector.\nLook closer, what else do you see? Obviously, the lower the average per annum income for a group of people, the more people you can pay. Key professions have been picked for the image. At the bottom, we have nurses and teachers: all women, you can tell from the long hair. At the top, we have bobbies, GPs and senior police: the higher paid professions and of course they have all been portrayed as men, the ties give that away.\nA clear depiction of the income gap between men and women, a clear depiction of career stereotypes.\nIs it any wonder that women are said to have lower aspirations? The media consistently bombards us with images that define the status quo. People subconsciously and unknowingly respond to stereotypes: aiming and applying for jobs that society says are \u2018normal\u2019 for their type.\nI very much doubt that too much thought went into creating this image and that\u2019s what makes it so powerful. Stereotypes are so deeply ingrained. Indeed, if the cartoonist had decided to split each line according to the true gender mix in that profession, people may well have screamed \u201cIt\u2019s political correctness gone mad!\u2019\nAnyway, having made this casual observation, I decided to take it a step further. Using 4 City A.M. papers that were yet to be discarded, I counted the number of male vs. female faces. I excluded the sports section, it was all 100% men and I excluded pictures of crowds because it can be difficult to differentiate man from woman. I did include the fictional \u2018tipster\u2019 because he is most certainly depicted as a man. However, I also include the female cartoon in the Lloyds Banking advert to keep it fair. Each image had to be indisputably male or female. The results:\n14-Feb: 37 men, 11 women i.e. 23% women\n28-Feb: 41 men, 7 women i.e. 15% women\nWhat\u2019s your point, Heather, I hear you ask?

        "raw_content": "Redskins CB Josh Norman rebounds against ex-team\nWashington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman faced a wave of adversity leading up to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.\nNorman was benched in the second half of a Week 5 blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints after wearing headphones in the locker room during halftime while a coach was addressing the team. He also allowed a long touchdown in the first half.\nSo, the biggest question heading into a game against his former team was how Norman would respond to his week of misfortune.\nNorman let his play do the talking for him with five tackles (four solo) to go along with an interception and a forced fumble. The impact plays helped stake Washington a 17-point lead before the Redskins held on for a 23-17 win.\n\"It was great to see,\" Washington head coach Jay Gruden told reporters afterward. \"The thing got popped up in the media somehow -- I don't know how or where it came from -- but Josh and I, we swept it under the rug right after it happened. It was great to see him play well against his former team. I know it meant a lot to him. His forced fumble, interception, had some good tackles, so I'm happy for Josh.\"\nIt also helped that Gruden and Norman worked out their differences earlier in the week, providing the opportunity for the team to enter game preparations free of drama.\n\"Everything was smoothed over after the fact, anyway,\" Norman said. \"That was something that happened on Monday and today is Sunday. And we already got better from that, everyone that was involved.\"\nStill, Norman, who has faced criticism over the years, admitted the past week was unlike past instances of negative commentary.\n\"This week was a little bit different; I'm not going to lie,\" Norman said. \"People came from everywhere, fan base, I was just like, 'Gosh.' Checked my phone every time there was an alert or something, it was just the weirdest thing ever. And it's like I'm playing cornerback versus everybody, not just the opposing team, but the outside team and the noise of just everything.\"\nNorman told reporters he was able to shut out the distractions by retreating to his home, a place he called \"La Grande Evasion,\" and refocus on the task at hand of helping the team secure a win armed with trust between him and teammates.\n\"Regardless of what they say or what anyone else says, we going to do us,\" Norman said. \"And we going to do us in a way in which we are going to come out and be better each and every time we step out on the football field. If they have my back and I got their back and they can trust in me and I can trust in them, then that's all that matters.\"\nNorman's rebound from controversy helped the Redskins improve to 3-2 and move into first place in the NFC East, a half-game ahead of the Dallas Cowboys (3-3).\nAnd that his impactful performance came against the Panthers, a team that allowed him leave via free agency in 2016, made it even sweeter despite the past and continued relationships.\n\"Every time we play those guys, it's always satisfaction if I can do that,\" Norman said. \"But all in all, those guys, they know how I feel about them. I know how they feel about me and that's the thing. It's just going out there and playing them.\"",

The site was funded by a combination of membership fees and grants, receiving $440,000 from the Knight Foundation.\nAfter raising just $600,000 since 2005 on an intended budget of $1 million to $2 million, the site laid off its staff and suspended operation in September 2009, announcing a switch from a nonprofit to a for-profit model. The organization was reborn in November 2009 as the Chicago Current.\nThe for-profit Current is available online for free but charges for home delivery of its print edition. The Current\u2019s revenue comes from print and online advertising, and it has three full-time staff members.

        "title": "THE OASIS NEWSROOM - Top News on Oasis, Liam and Noel Gallagher",
        "raw_content": "Noel Gallagher: I didn't Really Learn To Sing Until 2005\nSomewhat out of character for a Mancunian, Noel Gallagher is praying for rain. He's about to play the Big Day Out on the Gold Coast and figures that a sudden downpour, of which there have been several during the day, will send thousands of punters towards the shelter of his covered stage on the BDO site.\nRain ensues and, for whatever reason, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds pull good numbers and enjoy a warm response on what is their first gig on Australian soil, while hip-hop superstar Kanye West entertains the rain-soaked masses across the paddock.\nThat Gallagher, 44, should be nervous about pulling a crowd in Australia or anywhere else is a little surprising given his status. Rarely has that been a problem in the 19 years since he and his brother Liam emerged from Manchester and made their band Oasis one of the most successful on the planet.\nThat came to an end in August 2009, when, after a few failed attempts during its tempestuous tenure, Oasis finally broke up, Noel walking off stage in Paris vowing never to return. It was a bitter end to a sibling rivalry that over the years provoked as many headlines as the band's music.\nThe brothers still aren't talking, although Noel has no problem explaining his feelings about the break-up of the band that brought them untold wealth and fame.\n\"It wasn't relief,\" he says of the split; \"actually it was a pain in the arse. It's like trying to learn a new skill when you're 43. Who wants to do that? We were all set in that band for life.\n\"But things happen for a reason. Being in a band is a compromise on so many levels and it's a great compromise because of what you accomplish in terms of size and scale, but they are compromises all the same and I'm not willing to do that any more.\"\nThis first solo project -- the Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds album released last October and a world tour that continues for most of this year -- is Gallagher taking control of his future, although by most people's accounts he was uncompromising, as chief songwriter and elder brother, in guiding Oasis's career.\nMusically High Flying Birds isn't a huge departure from the anthemic pop of Oasis's Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger. There's still the familiar strain of the Beatles' influence on new songs The Death of You and Me, If I Had a Gun and AKA . . . What a Life!\nBut Gallagher points out that he took his time after Oasis plotting how to rise from the ashes under his own name. And he was quite prepared for it not to work.\n\"My first thought when I left Oasis was that 'I'm going to do f . .k all',\" he says. \"Everybody else would have put a band together and been out on the road again within six months.\"\nInstead Gallagher laid up for a year, aside from a couple of charity performances at London's Royal Albert Hall and a guest spot on stage with his mate Paul Weller.\n\"When I was going into it I didn't announce what I was doing,\" he says of his return. \"Not that I was doing it in secret, but I wasn't putting it out there that I was embarking on a musical journey. I just thought 'I'll make the record and if it's shit I'll can it and just disappear'.\"\nSince its release the album has sold more than half a million copies in Britain alone, second only to Coldplay in album sales there last year. Reviews of the live performances have been favourable as well, including of the Gold Coast performance on Sunday and in Sydney the following night.\nWhile songwriting is nothing new to him, being a frontman after years of mostly playing guitar and watching \"our kid\" do his petulant pout centre stage has been a steep learning curve.\n\"I didn't really learn to sing until 2005,\" he says. \"People refer to me now as a singer-songwriter. I prefer to think of myself as a songwriter-singer. I don't think I'm a great singer or a great guitarist. In fact, I don't think I'm great at anything, but I am a good songwriter, good at lots of little things that make up who I am. So I'm great at being me. It's a good job, really.\"\nSongwriting is definitely one of Gallagher's strongest suits. Flying solo post-Oasis produced 36 songs, only 10 of which made the album. Thirteen more will surface on another album project recorded with psychedelic outfit Amorphous Androgynous, to be released early next year.\n\"It's always been the same for me,\" he says. \"I tend to have a lot of songs that are in various states and then when I get on the road I can finish them off.\n\"I write a lot of songs at irregular intervals. I don't have a set time for writing or a set room or anything like that, but I do tend to have a lot of material lying around. There's not a lot happening right now though, songwise.\"\nWhile Gallagher dips freely into the Oasis catalogue in his new guise, there are some of his songs from that era to which he will never return. He mentions Cigarettes and Alcohol and Rock 'n' Roll Star, both from the band's debut album Definitely Maybe, which he says are too aligned with his brother's rock 'n' roll voice.\n\"Liam would want to do those songs, I would think,\" he says, \"but I couldn't sing those songs. I couldn't do them justice. The only songs that I sing now from my back catalogue are the ones that I can do justice to.\n\"I'd love to be able to do a gig and get a crowd going, like Kasabian (English rockers also on the BDO bill), singing rock 'n' roll music, but I can't sing rock 'n' roll music. I don't have that kind of voice so I do other things. To get a crowd bouncing you have to have that kind of voice. My main aim is to get them to sing.\"\nJudging by his performance, Gallagher is selling himself short a little here, but no matter what style he's using, he's happy with his new lot as the singer in the band.\n\"It has made me cut down on my partying, which I am not best pleased about,\" he says, not completely seriously. \"Singing is good,\" he says. \"It's like the feeling you get from taking drugs. It's addictive. I like it.\"\nSinging is not the only reason there's not much room for the party lifestyle in the Gallagher household. He has three children, two with his wife, Sara MacDonald, and one from his earlier marriage to Meg Matthews. The most music he gets to listen to around the house these days is Lady Gaga, with the kids \"running around the table going nuts\". But he's still a music fan. It's just that his tastes haven't progressed much beyond the 1960s.\n\"I'm still an avid collector of 60s music,\" he says. \"I haven't finished with the 60s yet to get on to the 70s, never mind contemporary music. I like the odd tune. Foster the People (also on the BDO bill) have a couple of good tunes and Kasabian, but I don't follow the new trends. I'm not interested in them.\"\nGallagher has no long-term plan for High Flying Birds or indeed for his career. After the Oasis experience he's a little older and wiser and less immersed in the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.\n\"My plan was to make a record because my wife insisted I got out of the house and stopped annoying her,\" he says. \"That's the truth.\n\"I'm not sure what I'll do next, but that's the great thing about not being in a big rock band. I can do whatever I want. I'll let you know, though.\"\nThe Big Day Out continues today in Sydney, followed by Melbourne on Sunday, Adelaide February 3 and Perth February 5.\nvia L4e / Source: www.theaustralian.com.au",

        "title": "Semiotics \u2014 Oliver Perry",
        "raw_content": "Structuralism seeks to describe the overall organisation of sign systems as language. Barthes a semiotic theorist defines semiotics as linguistics. Semiotics, the study of signs was proposed by Swiss linguistic Saussure and philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce in the late 1800\u2019s (Lavers, 1982, p 219). Saussure argued that there was no relationship between that which carries the meaning, the signifier, the word or symbol and the signified (the actual meaning). Peirce divides semiotics into three types of sign, the icon, index and symbol (Lavers, 1982, p219). Peirce believed the relationship between the sign itself (the referent) and the meaning was key. The icon was described as an object which resembles it such as photographs, paintings, diagrams. The index is an object, not one that is similar or resembling it but one that refers indirectly to it such as the image of ice meaning something is cold / frozen, in that the object affects the sign, one referring to the other. The symbol is something that has no direct relationship or link is present, this refers to such as texts, words or symbols this means that the sign user can use them in their own interpretive way. We can use these symbol signs in our own way and can manipulate them in our own experience. Human experience and meaning can be expressed in a variety of ways including music, gestures, thought, verbal and non-verbal communication. Interaction between different individuals enables our understanding of culture and each other.\nWe are bombarded by multiple sensory information on a daily basis however we only take in a limited amount, enough to apply meaning. Interpretation / meaning are dependent upon the amount of information we receive. There are signifiers which require a lot of interpretation such as abstract art and those that require little interpretation because meaning can easily be applied. Visual interpretation is important and this is why advertisers use simple symbols, colour, texture, texts and light to attract our attention so that they can convey their message to the right people in order to be successful. Companies use research to find out what their potential customers want in the same way that politicians use focus groups to discover what their potential voter\u2019s desire, this way they can create their advertisement based on people\u2019s needs. This gives both advertisers and politicians\u2019 power over us.\nWe are surrounded by social signs in our everyday lives which we are left to interpret and find meaning; structuralism seeks to describe the overall organisation of sign systems as language. Social semiotics seeks to explore the use of signs in social circumstances; each experience has its constraints dependent upon the media used. We could question however that if a particular media is used more frequently and consistently such as those used by companies in advertising the more it is in danger of becoming invisible to us through familiarity. This awareness could damage its potential to fulfil its intended function; perhaps this is why companies use light boxes in an attempt to highlight their product?\nSelected texts used within my work are aimed at conveying a message to the viewer to stimulate and create discussion regarding the meaningless slogans used by politicians. In placing the text in the light box the artist, as the sender allows the viewer to apply meaning through human experience. However the artist cannot fail to influence the viewer simply by the selection of the chosen text; the medium used is conveying the bombardment by advertisers as we are also bombarded by slogans from all political parties. The media selected ensures that the work is entirely under the artists influence and control, however the semiotics used are subjective and dependent on human interpretation. For all the control available through language and symbols the one variable we cannot control is the human reaction. The medium has become the message which we extract meaning from through an interaction of signs /codes which we are usually unaware of, but interpret. Structuralists are concerned with the relationship between texts in applying meaning. We need prior knowledge in order to interpret codes and messages, as signs have little meaning in isolation but need to be interpreted in the relationship with each other.\nThe viewer is in a state of absorption through the use of 3D glasses as when wearing the glasses the content has no physical ground and seeming floats on top of an amount of calculated data. The Gestalt psychology theory makes the text stand out from the background, conveying the message more clearly through perceptual organisation. Although previous knowledge and culture are important in our interpretation of meaning, other signs conveyed within my pieces which make the message more clearly interpreted are the similarity, proximity, continuation and symmetry within the texts based on our perception.",

        "raw_content": "It's time President Obama and Democrats brand Republicans as \"Jobs Bill Killers.\" They need to frame the debate by effectively accusing the GOP as simply refusing to pass any bill, even ones that include tax cuts, that will put struggling Americans back to work. They should repeat the term Jobs Bill Killers like a mantra and utter it in every sentence. Like propaganda. Just like Republicans do. Think \"Job killers. Death Panels. Baby killers.\" It's time Democrats start speaking in soundbites and bumper-stickers. That's what voters understand.\nThursday night Republicans again voted in lockstep to defeat yet another jobs bill put forth by Democrats. In a 50-50 vote, GOP senators defeated a part of Obama's bill that would allocate $35 billion for states and localities to hire additional teachers, police, firefighters and other first responders while protecting existing workers.\n\"For the second time in two weeks, every single Republican in the United States Senate has chosen to obstruct a bill that would create jobs and get our economy going again,\" Obama said. \"That's unacceptable. We must do what's right for the country and pass the common-sense proposals in the American Jobs Act.\"\nAnd what got the Republicans' panties in a snit? Funding for the measure would have come from a 0.5% tax increase on people earning more than $1 million a year. That's a half a percentage point on millionaires. You'd think this would be small enough to get Repubs on board, right? As John Belushi would say in his famous Saturday Night Live rants, \"But Nooooooooooooo!\"\nAs Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor like to say, \"Now is not the time to raise taxes on anybody.\" But I ask, is there ever gonna be a time when Republicans accept a tax increase? The \"not now\" excuse is just a lame tactic to protect their personal financial interests. It's the same old same old with these guys. Feed the rich, screw the poor and middle class.\nThe truth is, the Republican Party stands for nothing except low taxes and less regulation. This is the way it's always been and always will be. As evidenced by audience reaction in recent GOP debates, there seems to be zero compassion and empathy for the less fortunate. Republicans in the audiences have cheered and advocated people being left to die without medical coverage. They've cheered executions. They've cheered gays being discriminated against in the military. And they went wild when Herman Cain blamed people for their own state of unemployment. Welcome to compassionate conservatism, 2011 style.\nStoic said...\nThat would be mean and Obama doesn't do mean.\nRepublians do not want Amercians to go back to work!!!!They just want to stuff their poclets with Taxpayers money.I am not voting for any Republican they are stuck on stupid!!!",

The Easter Season is over and the Liturgy at this time puts in some important Feasts that do not have a seasonal emphasis. We have Trinity Sunday and Corpus Christi and the Feast of Peter and Paul in a row before we resume the Gospel of Matthew. Every Sunday is the Lord\u2019s Day. Today we reverence the Godhead three in one, The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The Gospel given us today is the words to Nicodemus: \u201cGod so loved the world the He gave His only Son\u2026\u2026.\u201d\nThere are many things to say here. I wonder if you think or you used to think that God is really angry with us and only for Jesus we would be in big trouble. Sometime we blame our teachers for what we thought we heard when we were young. It is a half truth to say God is angry with us. The Scripture clearly says that God so loved the world and that he sent his Son to save the world. God is Love and his only aim throughout history is to offer us salvation, not condemnation. A friend of mine recently shared with me that if God is LOVE there has to be more than one person in the Godhead because love is diffusive of itself!!!\nSomeone said years ago (I think Augustine) that if you want to know what the Church teaches look at how it prays. We begin Mass with the sign of the Cross in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. We greeted one another in the Name of the Trinity. The Opening prayer always is addressed to God and praises Him through Our Lord Jesus Christ in the unity of the Holy Spirit.\nThe special feast today is to honour God, the Father who loves us from all eternity, the word of God who is God and was made flesh as baby Jesus and died for us, and the Spirit of God who teaches us and reminds us of the things that Jesus said.\nThrough Jesus and with Him and in Him, all glory and honour to the Father in the unity if the Holy Spirit be all glory forever and ever.

        "title": "Ovi Magazine : Ivory Market Value Drops by Two-Thirds Following China's Domestic Ban by Ovi Magazine Guest",
        "raw_content": "Ivory Market Value Drops by Two-Thirds Following China's Domestic Ban\nIvory Market Value Drops by Two-Thirds Following China\u2019s Domestic Ban\nMarch 31 marked the official shutdown of China\u2019s ivory factories.\nPerhaps the biggest positive conservation story of the year so far, China earlier agreed to shut down its domestic ivory market, which reports have now suggested has resulted in a dramatic drop in the price of ivory. Recent figures have shown that the wholesale price of raw legal ivory has dropped by almost two-thirds since China announced plans to close the domestic market. The dramatic price drop, together with the closure of the market is a huge step forwards in conservation, as China is the world\u2019s largest ivory importer and trader. Researchers from the conservation organisation Save the Elephants visited Beijing and Shanghai, along with other major cities whose markets had not been surveyed before, and found that the legal ivory trade is dying, according to researchers Lucy Vigne and Esmond Martin.\nIn 2014, the average wholesale price of tusks was $2,100 (\u00a31,700) per kg, and by late 2015, following China\u2019s symbolic burning of half a ton of stockpiled ivory before announcing plans to end the domestic trade, the price had fallen to $1,100 per kg. After this, just last month it had dropped to just $730 per kg. The team also discovered through their research that many retail shops previously selling ivory have now closed down, which some conservationists welcomed. Iain Douglas-Hamilton, president and founder of Save the Elephants, said, \u201cWe must give credit to China for having done the right thing by closing the ivory trade. There is now greater hope for the species.\u201d\nA pan-African survey of savannah elephants that was published at the end of last year, together with an analysis by the IUCN African Elephant Specialist Group, found that elephant populations were down by one-third over just seven years as a result of the ivory trade. This figure worked out to be around 144,000 elephants lost to the trade since 2010. Reports believe that the recent drop in prices is largely due to the Chinese government\u2019s public commitment to close down their legal ivory trade. Douglas-Hamilton commented, \u201cWith the end of the legal ivory trade in China the survival chances for elephants have distinctly improved.\u201d March 31, 2017 marks the official date for the shutdown of China\u2019s ivory factories, whilst all retail outlets will be closed by the end of the year. Public awareness campaigns, including those featuring celebrities such as actor Jackie Chan, have played a key role in explaining the huge negative impact that buying ivory has on elephant populations.\nAn additional key reason for the decline of the trade in China is believed to be the Chinese economic slowdown, according to reports. Economic data released last year suggested that the growth prospects in the world\u2019s second-largest economy are not looking positive. This was due to a decline in consumer spending, with particular emphasis on expensive luxury materials, which include raw ivory. Luckily for conservation, the reduction in the price of ivory did not mean that sales increased as many hoped it would. However, Professor Alejandro Nadal, an economist from the Centre for Economic Studies, El Colegio de M\u00e9xico, warned that people must not jump to conclusions, claiming, \u201cThe key variable that will determine the effect on poaching is not prices. It is profits.\u201d\nNadal has stated that by selling ivory at low wholesale prices, profit levels could be a lot higher at the retail end of the chain, meaning that the profitability for ivory retailers could actually increase, despite the reduction of wholesale prices. This brings into question whether it is the big retail traders who are driving the poaching. Nadal said, \u201cTo get a better answer to that question, we need to know more about the links with the illegal trade: do the price reductions affect the prices in the illegal trade?\u201d Further to this, research has found that illegal ivory traders have benefitted from the falling prices, with researchers also discovering that \u201cWhile legal dealers have suffered, illegal traders have been enjoying a profitable business.\u201d\nOvi+Africa Ovi+Asia Ovi+environment Ovi_magazine Ovi",

        "raw_content": "For centuries, the Others and humans have lived side by side in uneasy peace. But when humankind oversteps its bounds, the Others will have to decide how much humanity they\u2019re willing to tolerate\u2014both within themselves and within their community...\nSince the Others allied themselves with the cassandra sangue, the fragile yet powerful human blood prophets who were being exploited by their own kind, the delicate dynamic between humans and Others changed. Some, like Simon Wolfgard, wolf shifter and leader of the Lakeside Courtyard, and blood prophet Meg Corbyn, see the new, closer companionship as beneficial\u2014both personally and practically.\nBut not everyone is convinced. A group of radical humans is seeking to usurp land through a series of violent attacks on the Others. What they don\u2019t realize is that there are older and more dangerous forces than shifters and vampires protecting the land that belongs to the Others\u2014and those forces are willing to do whatever is necessary to protect what is theirs\u2026\n\u201cHe didn't understand why everyone fussed about taking clean clothes out of a drawer. Underclothes smelled a lot more interesting after the female wore them.\u201d\nThe first book blew me out of the water as an incredible ride I didn't want to get off of. Unfortunately the ride has faltered as the series continued, even if it stays addictive and hard to put down. The three stars for this one means it's good, but not great, and that's the same reasons as the last book - too much time spend in other's heads and other packs. I don't care about anyone other than the Lakeside folks, but we don't get as much time or character development with them as I'd hoped. I was getting tired of the plot for the human movement a little too, but I'm happy to say a lot of that is finally resolved in this book.\nThe story is fine but the shifting of too many point of views made the pacing stumble. Thankfully skimming isn't something I'm afraid to do when its needed. There's a fun progression at the end concerning a certain relationship, and I can't complain about anything that's in the actual town and the actual characters I enjoy. As with the other books, this dark series packs a humorous punch, so we do get some cute moments to lighten the mood.\nThe world-building is complex, strongly conceived, and unique - but I dare so the author went a little too big in the scope for this one? To start with one small town and their lives and then start spiraling out to cover more and more people is tricky to do and handle well. Sure, the new characters are interesting and may be fine in their own right, but we didn't necessarily need to be in their heads so much or see their stories first hand. It almost felt like an anthology of different stories in different towns in one book.\nWhile there is a fun promising spark for the two mains, there is little character progression in the main character lives - internally or with each other. It felt like they were kind of pushed to the side for the sake of the larger picture, which isn't what interested me as much as the Lakeside community. I'm more interested in how all this affects the group I like, not the world with new players.\n\u201cAnd when one kind of animal overruns an area to the point where many kinds of animal begin to starve, it\u2019s up to the predators to thin out the herds before there\u2019s nothing left for anyone. That\u2019s a simple truth whether you\u2019re talking about deer or humans.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Parsons Heath Baptist Church has always sought to be active and available in the local community, and for several years has had an impact that belies the relatively small number of members. These activities included regular events, such as Olive Branch, Toddler Group, our Welshwood Manor services and Operation Christmas Child shoebox appeal, and one-off events like Fuss for the Queen, the water project fundraising events, and supporting events at the local primary school.\nHowever, it became apparent midway through 2015 that many helpers were struggling with frailty or other commitments and therefore a significant burden was falling on a core group who became exhausted and were being personally challenged themselves.\nThe leadership recognised that this was not a healthy situation and that the minister was also carrying too much of this involvement. It was at this point that we sensed the Lord calling us to become less busy, and to seek His face for our future. In September the leadership, other individuals, and particularly a core group who met every week, committed to pray about it. This continued over several months.\nAt the church meeting in December we agreed unanimously to stop all activities and to establish what is now our twice-weekly \u2018Time 4 God\u2019 meetings, where we come and make ourselves available to our Lord.\nWe sense that initially this period of rest may simply mean discovering quality time in the Lord\u2019s presence. For many this will be a period of restoration (physical, emotional and spiritual), and for others, a time of personal reflection and healing.\nWe do not know how long this period will last, however, we believe that our Lord will reveal his purposes and plans for us in His time. Until then, we remain committed to seeking His face and giving God His rightful place in our fellowship and individual lives.\nOur twice-weekly \u2018Time 4 God\u2019 meetings take place for two hours on Tuesday mornings from 10am and Thursday evenings from 7.30pm. You can read more about these meetings in the January 2016 pastoral letter and the Time 4 God magazine article.",

        "raw_content": "Ra\u00fal on Fidel: He Taught Us Nothing Was Impossible\nWritten by\tTaken from Granma\nFidel and Ra\u00fal in the Presidential Palace, January of 1959. Photo: Granma\nIn almost every speech Ra\u00fal Castro Ruz makes, the same name is repeated - that of Fidel. On the 92nd anniversary of the Comandante en Jefe's birth, Granma shares some of the ideas his brother, in life and in struggle, expressed\nFidel devoted his life to solidarity and led a socialist Revolution \"of the humble, by the humble, and for the humble,\" that became a symbol of struggle. Fidel taught us to always look to history, to be bold and at the same time realistic, and that what appears impossible can be achieved with firm resolve and consistent action.\nHe bequeathed to us his enduring example, unwavering optimism, and confidence in victory, even in the most difficult moments of the Revolution.\nFidel's authority and his close relationship with the people were key to the country's heroic resistance during the dramatic years of the Special Period, when the nation's Gross Domestic Product fell 34.8% and the Cuban people's food situation deteriorated significantly, we suffered blackouts lasting 16 to 20 hours a day, and a good part of our industry and public transport was paralyzed. Despite this however, we were able to safeguard public health and education for the entire population.\nI recall the Party meetings in the different regions: east, in the city of Holgu\u00edn; central, in the city of Santa Clara; and west in the capital of the Republic, Havana, held in July 1994 to analyze how to confront, with greater efficiency and cohesion, the challenges of the special period, the growing imperialist blockade and media campaigns meant to sow despair among citizens.\nWe all left theses meetings, including the one held in the western region, presided by Fidel, convinced that with the combined strength and intelligence of the masses under the leadership of the Party, it would, and was, possible to transform the special period into a new victorious battle in the country's history.\nAt that time few in the world would have bet on our ability to resist and overcome in the face of adversity and the intensification of the enemy blockade. Our people, however, under the leadership of Fidel, provided an unforgettable lesson in resolve and loyalty to the principles of the Revolution.\nRecalling these difficult moments, I think it right and fitting to return to what I said about Fidel on July 26, 1994, one of the most difficult years, on the Isle of Youth, over 22 years ago, I quote: \"The most illustrious son of Cuba this century, he who showed us that the attempt to capture the Moncada Garrison was possible; that we were able to turn that loss into a victory,\" which we achieved five years, five months, and five days later, on that glorious January 1 of 1959.\nThose of us who had the privilege of fighting against the dictatorship under the leadership of Fidel, from Moncada, Granma, the Rebel Army, and the clandestine struggle, through today, feel, just like the heroic people of Cuba, a deep satisfaction in the consolidated work of the Revolution, our most beautiful work which imbues us with a genuine sense of happiness and calm confidence as we witness, with our own eyes, the transfer of the mission to continue building socialism, and in so doing guarantee independence and national sovereignty to new generations.\nIn those years, Fidel showed us it was possible to reach the coast of Cuba in the Granma; that yes, it was possible to resist the enemy, hunger, rain and cold, and organize a revolutionary army in the Sierra Maestra following the Alegr\u00eda de P\u00edo debacle; that yes, it was possible to open new guerilla fronts in the province of Oriente, with ours and Almeida's columns; that yes, it was possible to defeat the great offensive of over 10,000 soldiers with only 300 rifles, after which Che wrote in his Campaign Diary, that with this victory the backbone of the army of the tyranny had been broken: That yes, it was possible to repeat the feats of Maceo and G\u00f3mez, extending with Che and Camilo's columns the struggle from the east to the west of the island; that yes, it was possible to defeat, with the support of the entire people, the tyranny of Batista, backed by U.S. imperialism.\nFidel showed us that yes, it was possible to defeat in 72 hours, or even less, the mercenary invasion of Playa Gir\u00f3n and at the same time, continue the campaign to eradicate illiteracy in one year,\" as was happened in 1961.\nThat yes, it was possible to proclaim the socialist character of the Revolution 90 miles from the empire, and when its warships advanced toward Cuba, following the brigade of mercenary troops; that yes, it was possible to resolutely uphold the inalienable principles of our sovereignty, without fear of the threat of nuclear aggression by the United States in those days of the October 1962 missile crisis.\nThat yes, it was possible to offer solidarity assistance to other sister peoples struggling against colonial oppression, external aggression and racism.\n\"That yes, it was possible to defeat the racist South Africans, saving Angola's territorial integrity, forcing Namibia's independence and delivering a harsh blow to the apartheid regime.\nThat yes, it was possible to turn Cuba into a medical power, reduce infant mortality first, to the lowest rate in the Third World, then as compared with other rich countries; because at least on this continent our rate of infant mortality of children under one year of age is lower than Canada's and United States (Applause), and at the same time, significantly increase the life expectancy of our population.\nThat yes, it was possible to transform Cuba into a great scientific hub, advance in the modern and decisive felids of genetic engineering and biotechnology; insert ourselves within the fortress of international pharmaceuticals; develop tourism, despite the U.S. blockade; build causeways into the sea to make Cuba increasingly more attractive, obtaining greater hard curency income from our natural beauty.\nThat yes, it is possible to resist, survive, and develop without renouncing our principles or the achievements won by socialism in a unipolar world dominated by the transnationals which emerged after the fall of the socialist camp in Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.\nFidel's enduring lesson is that yes it is possible, that human beings are able to overcome the harshest conditions as long as our will to triumph does not falter, we accurately assess every situation, and do not renounce our just and noble principles.\nAfter the disastrous first battle of Alegr\u00eda de P\u00edo, he never lost faith in victory, and 13 days later, once in the Sierra Maestra, with seven rifles and a fist full of combatants, he exclaimed: \"Now we have won the war!\"\nNone of us who had the privilege of participating in these actions, under the command of Fidel, could have dreamed then that we would be alive today, in a free, independent, sovereign country, with a socialist Revolution in power and a united people, ready to defend the work undertaken, the fruit of the sacrifice and bloodshed of various generations of Cubans.\nToday, 65 years since Moncada, with our independence conquered and the permanent presence of Fidel among us, we can affirm that no matter how difficult the circumstances, no matter how great the challenges, our people will forever defend their Socialist Revolution. History has shown that we could, we can, and it will always be possible!\nThe best monument to his ideas and work is to bring to life, every day, the postulates contained within his outstanding definition of the concept of Revolution, which he presented May 1, 2000, and which was signed by millions of Cubans in the context of activities organized to pay well-deserved tribute to a man who never betrayed his people, and just as he expressed in the visionary speech he delivered on January 8, 1959, upon reaching the capital, at the military camp formerly known as Columbia, now Ciudad Libertad, when the Caravan of Liberty triumphantly entered Havana: The feeling of joy is immense. And yet, there still remains much to be done. We won't deceive ourselves by believing that everything will be much easier from now on; perhaps it will be much more difficult.\n- Speech delivered at the posthumous tribute to Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro Ruz, in Santiago de Cuba's General Antonio Maceo Grajales Plaza, December 3, 2016.\n- Speech delivered closing the Eighth Period of Ordinary Sessions of the National Assembly of People's Power VIII Legislature, in Havana's International Conference Center, December 27, 2016\n- Speech presented during the 14th Extraordinary ALBA-TCP Summit, held in Caracas, Venezuela, March 5, 2017.\n- Speech closing the Constituent Session of the 9th Legislature of the National Assembly of People's Power, at Havana's International Conference Center, April 19, 2018.\n- Speech delivered during the central act marking the 65th anniversary of the assaults on the Moncada and Carlos Manuel de C\u00e9spedes Garrisons, at Ciudad Escolar 26 de Julio, Santiago de Cuba, July 26, 2018.\nTaken from Granma\nFidel Castro's legacy\nCuban President Recalls Fidel Castro's Legacy of Justice\nCuban President Extols Fidel Castro's Historic Legacy\nCuban University Students Highlight Fidel Castro's Humanist Legacy\nProphesized and Fulfilled\nMore in this category: \u00ab Long Live the Revolution!

        "raw_content": "New Headmaster for Repton School 20 Jul 2018\nMr Semmence succeeds Mr Alastair Land who leaves Repton in March 2019 to take up the headship of Harrow School.\nMark is currently Headmaster of Mount Kelly, a co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged between 3 - 18, a position he has held since September 2014. The Governors at Mount Kelly describe Mark as \u201can enormously effective and successful Head Master.\u201d Creating a single, strong Foundation from three former schools, he has led an academic reform programme, and revitalised the extra-curricular life of the school. All of this has yielded a significant increase in pupil numbers, enabling a comprehensive programme of improvement in the school\u2019s infrastructure. He has a strong commitment to boarding, and currently sits on the BSA South West committee.\nPrior to his appointment at Mount Kelly, Mark spent seven years at Rugby School where he was Assistant Head Master, taught Economics and ran the cricket.\nMark was educated at Hurstpierpoint College and at Durham (BA and MBA), Warwick (MA) and London (PGCE) Universities. Before his teaching career, he enjoyed a successful decade in the international sports marketing sector, working in London, New York and Dubai. Whilst at the Quintus Group, now IMG, he worked with clients such as the ATP and the Cricket and Rugby World Cup organising committees.\nAmong many interests, Mark enjoys current affairs, politics, the arts and a range of sports. Cricket has always been a passion, and he played for a number of representative sides, including England Schools U19s and Durham University. He is now a member of the HMC Sports Committee as well as being the MCC Mentor for Durham University Cricket Club.\nSir Henry Every Bt, Chairman of the Board of Governors, commented: \u201cWe are delighted that Mark Semmence will be joining Repton School. With his proven track record at Mount Kelly and at Rugby School we believe we have found an inspiring and forward-thinking leader. With his strong operational management skills and his proven success in effective people and financial management, the Governors are confident Mark Semmence will make a significant long term contribution to the Repton Schools. \u201d\nOn his appointment Mark said: \u201cIt is an honour and a privilege to be asked to become Repton\u2019s 36th Headmaster. Repton is a very special School with an illustrious history and a deserved reputation for innovation and excellence, and I am looking forward to working with and serving the school community over the years to come. From our first visit, Alison and I were struck by the warmth of everyone we met and we are tremendously excited to be joining the Repton family.\u201d\nMark will take up his position at Repton School in April 2019 joined by his wife, Alison, and their two young daughters.",

When compared to the 7,402 homes sold during the same month in 2010, the figure is inspiring. Yet, when compared to just the month before when 9,182 homes were sold, the figure is not as exciting. In addition to a drop in the sale of homes, the homes that were purchased were done so at an average 5 percent. The average price in October was $130,000. The current media average price is $145,000.\nSeveral counties enjoyed an increase in year-over-year home prices as reported by the AIR. These include Macon County, Iroquois County and Boone County. In the Chicagoland area alone 5,778 homes were sold in October.

The session covers the electrical infrastructure for greenfield and brownfield pump systems.\nIn any water or wastewater facility, pumps are the biggest energy consumer. In many cases, greater efficiency can be achieved by optimising the electrical system driving those pumps. An electrical system typically comprises a transformer, variable speed drive (VSD), electric motor, switchgear and cabling.\nThe first half of the session focusses on how to design efficient pump systems. This includes how to accurately compare manufacturers\u2019 efficiency ratings for products to ensure pump systems are as efficient in operation as they are on paper, as well as understanding how the interaction of various components within the pump\u2019s electrical system can impact \u2013 both positively and negatively \u2013 on overall system efficiency.\nArmed with this information, utilities planning new sites can ensure pump systems are fully optimised from day one. This information can also be used to improve the efficiency of existing pump systems by between five and ten percent on average by identifying components that can be fine-tuned, replaced or adjusted to improve overall efficiency.\nThe second half of the session explores additional ways to improve the efficiency of installed pump systems by optimising the individual components in the electrical system. This includes an overview of the various methods that can be employed to reduce pump speed. A 2 Hz reduction in speed is a 12 percent energy saving typically on a pump system. Therefore reducing pump speed can cut energy use considerably and save many thousands of pounds a year.\nABB\u2019s System Efficiency Lunch \u2018n\u2019 Learn training is recommended for anyone responsible for the specification or maintenance of electrical systems. The 45-minute session is free to attend and can be delivered to individuals or groups at customer premises or an ABB facility.",

        "raw_content": "OAKLAND, Calif. -- Dwyane Wade knows something about assembling a superteam, and the Miami Heat great believes the addition of DeMarcus Cousins makes the Golden State Warriors' All-Star starting five perhaps the best the NBA has ever seen.\n\"That is as good as it gets in our game with any team ever to play this game,\" Wade said. \"That is as good as it gets with a starting five. That is why they are who they are, that is why they are champions.\n\"To be able to add a guy like DeMarcus to it, that is what great teams do. They add a piece and keep adding certain right pieces, and they've done it.\"\nIn his final game at Oracle Arena, Wade nearly helped the Heat stun the Warriors before his team fell 120-118. Golden State overcame a 26-7 deficit early to come back and win. Kevin Durant scored 39 points, Klay Thompson added 29 and Steph Curry 25 to help the Warriors (40-15) win for the 17th time in 19 games.\nAt the start of the decade, Wade helped Miami assemble its big three by teaming up with LeBron James and Chris Bosh in Miami. The power move by James -- leaving Cleveland to form a new superteam -- helped set the trend of superstars looking to join forces with other stars when they become free agents for the best opportunity to win championships.\nBut neither Wade nor the rest of the league has quite seen a starting five of All-Stars like the one Golden State has in Durant, Curry, Thompson, Draymond Green and Cousins.\nCousins just returned on Jan. 18 from an Achilles injury and has played in only 10 games. But his presence has been felt in the Golden State locker room and in the Western Conference standings.\nDespite having arguably his worst game since his Warriors debut with seven points and three rebounds in 26 minutes on Sunday, Cousins came up big at the end with a huge offensive rebound before drawing a foul and making the game-winning free throws with 5.4 seconds left.\n\"He's basically single-handedly negated the dog days, he really has,\" Golden State coach Steve Kerr explained. \"These last games before the All-Star break, usually from early January on, you got a three- to four-week stretch where everybody is just trying to get to the break. We bypassed that.\n\"DeMarcus has come in and energized our team. ... He's just bringing this excitement and energy every game and he's getting better and better and fitting right in with the group. More than anything, he's just energized us.\"\nWade, though, thinks that other teams will find a way to eventually catch up to Golden State's super five.\n\"People always find a way,\" Wade said. \"The superteams go back a long way, way before the Miami Heat did it. Having Hall of Famers, multiple Hall of Famers on one team. The league will continue to put the right talent around.\n\"If you look at what they just did in Philly, the trades they did adding those guys to that team and so on. This game will be good for a long time. With the talent that is coming in and the talent that is here now, the game is in good hands.\"",

        "raw_content": "Home / Blog / Storage Wars\nStorage Wars is a reality TV show that has gripped the world. Exploiting a California state ruling that storage units overdue on three months\u2019 worth of rent can be sold via auction, the show follows a team of professional buyers who purchase these lockers based almost purely on a hunch and try to turn a profit on the unit\u2019s contents.\nThere have been some incredibly impressive and incredibly weird and wonderful finds throughout the 8 series of the show so far. The most impressive payout of all came as Darrell Sheets invested $3,600, a hefty gamble, into a storage unit to discover it filled with original art by Frank Guttierez. The whole collection was estimated by an expert to be worth $300,000.\nOther impressive finds included a model grand piano that turned a profit of $11,625, a selection of limited edition Elvis Presley newspapers that were valued at $90,000, classic toys with a profit over $12,000 and even $10,000 worth of car and motorcycle parts.\nPerhaps one of the greatest finds related to the show, however, occurred in 2011 when a private buyer used the service to blindly bid $1000 on a storage unit. A heavy chest inside was found to have \u201cPieces of Eight Spanish Gold\u201d dating back to the 16th and 19th Centuries, valued at over $500,000. The buyer wished to remain anonymous so the findings were never aired on the show.\nYet, the show is not without its controversy. Former star of Storage Wars Dave Hester, of Elvis newspaper fame, sued the show\u2019s network A&E under allegations that the majority of the show was faked. Hester claimed that expensive and unusual items were placed within the units for entertainment purposes, and sought $3.5 million in damages for his firing after supposedly complaining about this. The termination lawsuit was settled privately for an undisclosed amount after a court judge ordered Hester to pay more than $122,000 to cover the network\u2019s legal fees. His later return to the show questions exactly what is real and what is not.\nDespite the controversy surrounding the show, there is no denying that sometimes miraculous things from Nicholas Cage\u2019s stolen comic book to a NASA rocket do occasionally turn up in unclaimed storage units. If the items themselves aren\u2019t enough to hold your interest in the show, then the competitive camaraderie of the buyers is sure to keep you entertained.",

        "raw_content": "Tony Jones w/ Michale Graves on Touring, Radio and Advice for Young Bands\nAs a true road warrior of punk rock, Michale Graves has kept extremely busy since his time as vocalist for legendary horror-punk band The Misfits. In fact, he's back out on the road with a new tour that will bring him to Providence's own Firehouse 13 on Friday, April 28th\nTony Jones: For those who haven't had a chance to catch Michale Graves live, what can people expect at your upcoming gig?\nMichale Graves: The performance that we have planned in Providence will be in support of my current 'Backroads' CD. We released our new CD 'Backroads' about two months ago at the beginning of the tour and I have committed each of the 55 performances on this tour to feature the songs from the new CD. This CD is a continuation of the voice that we created in the 'Vagabond' acoustic album and then later followed up on 'The Wanderer' acoustic album. This is very different from my monster rock voice and I really perform these new songs any unique and I hope entertaining way.\nTony Jones: You seem to always be on the road, what keeps bringing you back to touring\nMichale Graves: Everything that we do is centered around people. The fans and the time I have to spend with them on the road is why I tour so much. This album, Backroads, is all about my life on the road touring especially in this acoustic voice. So the bottom line is what keeps me on the road? I need to touch and interact live with our fans.\nTony Jones: Do you prefer being out with the full band or doing solo acoustic?\nMichale Graves: That's like saying which one of my two children do I love the most. Why I'm so excited about both the full band and the acoustic is it allows me to stretch artistically in several different ways. Full band events are more kinetic and action driven. Acoustic shows are much more personal. So I have the good fortune to be able to perform in both formats and that keeps me a balanced performer.\nMichale Graves: You know, I prepare for a tour in the same way that an athlete prepares for tournament. I spend a lot of time on cardio and getting my body in shape, eating the right things and keeping my brain and body healthy. I also try to get a lot of rest before a tour because, I will tell you that one thing, a tour is not full of sleep.\nTony Jones: With all the years of touring, do you have a favorite gig/festival that you've played? Or a particularly memorable one?\nMichale Graves: Well, I'll answer this the way an old friend of mine answered, to simplify the question, my favorite one is the one we are about to do. That way I can say that every single day I perform, and by the way, it's true.\nTony Jones: You have had great success crowd-funding different projects, tell us about being able to connect with the fans in that manner.\nMichale Graves: Yes, we have for years involved the fans in crowd-funding projects. It's a way that we can announce and market our projects way in advance of them being done and it's the way that we can reach out to new fans as the crowd-funding sites have a community of their own.\nTony Jones: What is in the pipeline for Michale Graves, what are the next projects you are working on?\nMichale Graves: Well Tony, you know Mark Allen Stuart, CEO of Hydraulic entertainment. Mark always has about 48 different projects up his sleeve at any one time. Because the release of the 'Backroads' acoustic album was so successful, as a matter of fact, almost sold out, we've decided, and I'll give you an exclusive here, we've decided to create a full band version of the album as well, so we should be heading into the studio early in the summer to make that happen. We also have another monster rock project in the works, as well as an October Halloween tour. Also, Mark is working on a feature film based on our songs from the 'When Worlds Collide' album to be entitled '3 Days till Dawn' and we're trying to get the production of that film in this calendar year as well. Mark also has us working on a re-release of another project, that unfortunately I can't announce today, but it should be coming at you in a few weeks.\nTony Jones: Any chances of a return to doing radio on the regular basis with the Michale Graves Show or Radio Deadly\nGraves : You know, I would love to have the radio show, but given the fact that I'm on tour over a hundred and fifty days a year, it makes doing a consistent radio show very very difficult. We've tried to do it while on the road and that just doesn't work, on for a month, off for two months, really doesn't create the consistency or sustainability that we really want. But we love the medium and we're trying to figure out ways that we can make a show happen.\nTony Jones: A message to all the young bands out there?\nMichale Graves: I think the best advice I can give is to forget doing cover songs. Find your own voice. It's natural that every artist has inspirations, I, for one, had a ton of bands and artists that inspired me when I first started out, and still inspire me today. One of the things that I know is, if you're really trying to make a go at it at performing as a profession, or quite frankly, if you're just trying to get better as an artist, find your own voice, find your own uniqueness, and ways to exploit your own talent and in that you'll have a better chance of creating some magic.\nMichale Graves brings his 'Backroads' tour to Firehouse 13 on Friday, April 28th with local openers Damnation, The Skeleton Beats, Deprived and Wolfman Chuck. Doors are at 8pm, $12 cover.

These interests in philosophy of logic, mathematics and science lead me to interests in the related problems in epistemology and metaphysics, and since language is essentially implicated in much our our knowledge, to philosophy of language as well. My methods include gleaning whatever is of use for my inquiries from the histories of logic, mathematics and science, and from the cognitive sciences.

        "raw_content": "Osceola Real Estate Search\nOsceola Real Estate Information\nOsceola is a relatively small community found in the central portion of Saint Clair County, which in turn is situated in the central western portion of the state of Missouri. Osceola had a population of only eight hundred and thirty five residents as of the census conducted in the year two thousand, although there is a distinct possibility that that figure has changed in the past nine years. Osceola is considered a part of Saint Clair County, and is found at an elevation of a little more than seven hundred and fifty feet. Osceola real estate covers a total area of just less than a square mile, including less than one twentieth of a square mile of water and about nine tenths of a square mile of solid land.\nThe area which is now considered Osceola was originally the domain of Native Americans for literally thousands of years before the arrival of any European or American settlers or even explorers. Osceola bills itself as a \u201cBridge to the Past\u201d, citing as evidence its rich pre-European historical legacy, its involvement in the American Civil War, and even legends about the Old West. According to local folklore, Jesse James and his gang spent a night at the Old Commercial Hotel, one of the most easily recognizable Osceola properties. Osceola has taken great precautions to maintain its historical legacy both as an independent town and as the county seat of Saint Clair County, since it is home to the Saint Clair County Historical Society and Museum, the Johnson Family Library and Museum, and the Saint Clair County Library.\nThere are a number of significant commercial and recreational landmarks found in Osceola, including The Heart House, Osceola Cheese, Evening Shade Farms, the Trade Fair Mall, Alice's Closet, the Farmer's Market, Second Street Books, the Woodshed, and Moccasin Trails Antiques and Amish Country Store. Notable recreational facilities include the Osceola Swimming Pool, the Saint Clair County Senior Center, and Osceola RV Park. Educational institutions in Osceola include Osceola Elementary School and Osceola Junior-Senior High School, which are both administered by the local Board of Education.",

My Shiba Inu, Rory, chasing the dead leaves that kick up when there\u2019s a good breeze. The voracious, vicious and revered Shiba Inu hunting instinct manifesting in the form of perked ears and tail at the slightest wind current, the softest rustling of any sort of foliage. And then, when the dried leaves skitter across the concrete, her low, shuffling sort of pounce, nails scrabbling gracelessly and mouth chomping to catch her prey. I\u2019ve pried more leaves from her jaws than I can count, and have been dragged across the parking lot as so much liability on a hunt. I\u2019m typically met with a disdainful, disappointed and judgmental gaze in the aftermath. Her breed is known for its intelligence and its dignity. She seems neither as she pursues her query, yet I\u2019m the one deemed hindrance when I hold her leash.\n2) One day, I notice the uniqueness of Florida winters\u2014the word \u201cwinters\u201d used loosely, as Florida rarely experiences a true winter (no snow, and rarely temperatures in the negatives)\u2014are a reprieve from the oppressive heat and humidity of the other three \u201cseasons.\u201d Our winters are more like the rest of the country\u2019s autumn. The air is crisp and clean feeling, regardless of where you are, and there\u2019s something to be said about not needing a shower after standing outside, motionless, for less than three minutes. I\u2019ve always enjoyed the other-worldliness of standing in the shade and then in the sunlight, of experiencing their temperature extremes\u2014it\u2019s the closest thing I can think of to the climate on another planet. I love the juxtaposition of sitting beneath a palm tree to enjoy the outdoors while bundled in a sweater with a cup of cocoa.\n3) I\u2019ve always wondered about my father\u2019s reasons for taking me to that park. It was a small slice of paradise for me as a child, hidden away between old brick buildings and old brick roads. Primary colors of the experience were always brick red, mulch brown and school bus yellow. My hands would always smell like pennies\u2014the price of playing on metal equipment where the paint had peeled and rust was setting in.\n4) Tonight, I walk laps around an empty track, a winding curve of asphalt that surrounds a pair of soccer fields and a playground. I\u2019ve been here countless times to get away from my father, to escape his threats and his screams and the terror he always instills in me. I\u2019ve been here with friends and boyfriends, rolling in the grass or sitting on the bleachers. But I walk now, because anxiety pumps through my veins as surely as my blood, because there\u2019s no way to get the energy out without screaming or crying or hitting something or all three. It\u2019s late, it\u2019s cold. I can see my breath, and my Chuck Taylors hardly keep my feet warm. I shouldn\u2019t be out. I shouldn\u2019t be alone. But I am because I don\u2019t care. I can\u2019t care. Henry doesn\u2019t care. My father doesn\u2019t care. My mother doesn\u2019t care. I could be murdered or worse, and no one would bat an eye. But the energy will keep me up all night until I burn it off. So I walk laps around an empty track.",

        "raw_content": "Naomi's Geese\n\ufeff\ufeffA reflective novel about the nature of love and the love of nature. Naomi Green, going on 12, is a mature, attractive only child who studies ballet in Manhattan \u2013 as do her friend and a boy she may be interested in \u2013 and so she\u2019s not pleased to be dragged away when her professor parents buy a summer house upstate in beautiful Claverack. There, her life intersects with that of a family of Canada geese stranded on a nearby pond, and while the geese (male Ka and female Kee, who\u2019s been injured) raise a family, Ka and Naomi gradually earn each other\u2019s trust. In alternating chapters, the story follows seasonal movements from the points of view of humans and geese until it should be time for them to meet again. What action there is takes place toward the end, and most of the tragedy befalls the geese; but Naomi is left with the knowledge that love can be painful and involve sacrifice. A well-structured book with interesting parallels, a thoughtful and unsentimental look at nature and a strong sense of place.\nOctober 15 issue of Kirkus\n\ufeffEvans' story unfolds in chapters alternately narrated by 11-year-old Naomi Green and by a pair of Canada geese, Ka and Kee. Naomi's initial opinion of her parents' new weekend home in upstate New York is a negative one, but when the April sunlight floods their small valley and lights up the pond, she sees some promise. The arrival of a mated pair of Canada geese increases the beauty of the place. Over the course of the year, Naomi watches the geese and gradually earns their trust. At home in Manhattan, she pursues her ballet lessons and develops a crush on the boy who likes her best friend. The following spring, the Greens discover someone has dumped poisonous chemicals in the pond, and Naomi realizes that as much as she hopes the geese will return, she cannot allow them to stay. Evans does a nice job of telling the story. Naomi is likable and realistically portrayed, and the environmental theme is timely and valuable.\n\ufeffChris Sherman\n\ufeff\ufeffNaomi has spent all of her 12 years in New York City; now her professor parents have bought a weekend house in the country, and she expects to be bored to tears. When she meets the pair of Canada geese who have sought refuge on their backyard pond, she is frightened and angry at their noisy defense, but as seasons change so does she, calmed by the country, fascinated by the nesting birds. Alternating chapters tell the story of the geese in a romanticized style, full of natural details but touched in anthropomorphism. As the girl softens toward the geese, so does Ka, the gander, toward her. Naomi's year, which includes a self-centered best friend, a hint of first romance, and lots of ballet, is a sweet, slow story of growth and change as she learns tolerance and compassion. As Naomi's family, and then Ka, return to the country in the spring, a new element is introduced into the novel. The pond has been used as a dump for toxic chemicals, creating a hazard for the people and pets who live there, a disaster for the wildlife, and a dramatic, and somewhat jarring, climax. Amid talk of lawsuits and real-estate values, Naomi gets to test her maturity and readers get to shed some tears.\nThe One Pound Diet - Reader Reviews from Amazon.Com\n\ufeffA Breath of Fresh Air.\nIn a market oversaturated with diets that feed the American desire for all the gain without the pain (or in this case, all the loss without the pain), Sanford Evans' The One Pound Diet comes as a breath of fresh air. Here is a recipe that works - eat in moderation, set reasonable goals, exercise. Evans not only maps out for the reader how to lose weight, keep it off, and live in a more healthful manner, he provides the inspiration and motivational tools one needs to set out down that road. The One Pound Diet is a quick read, but it makes a lasting impression. Any veteran of Atkins, the Zone, the South Beach Diet or others who's still looking for the real thing should read this book.\nSomebody finally tells it like it is.\nBy Novel Man (NYC)\nToday's America seems to be the land of the quick fix. But in terms of successful weight loss, there simply is no such thing. By providing a plan for reaching realistic weight loss goals and then offering a way to stay at one's target weight, Sanford Evans' The One Pound Diet is the anti-diet that works. This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever lost a significant amount of weight, only to see the pounds creep on again. Instead of touting the rigors of starvation or espousing exotic nutritional regimens, The One Pound Diet rewards the reader with a generous helping of common sense, topped with a large dollop of good humor. In dieting, as in life, slow and steady really does win the race. This is a win-win guide if you're looking to lose, and the perfect gift for those friends and family who could use a gentle reminder and a supportive literary personal trainer on the road to better health.\nA Little Diet Book That's Big On Common Sense, October 27, 2005\nBy Tucker's Mom (Ann Arbor, MI)\nThe One Pound Diet offers a refreshingly simple recipe for losing weight and keeping it off: start slowly, be deliberate, be self-aware, (okay, okay: eat sensibly and get some exercise, too)and lose weight. The premise is so simple it's tempting to say \"duh,\" but that's also its appeal. The author's plan requires no self-deprivation, no only-this-kind-of-food but never-that-kind-of-food meals. There's no counting of points or complicated menu plan. Read this slender red book in one evening, \"start late\", and you're sure to lose one pound. Then another. And another.",

        "raw_content": "Dave Douglas Tiny Bell Trio at Kerrytown\nProminent avant garde trumpeter Dave Douglas brought one of his many groups to the Kerrytown Concert House in Ann Arbor on March 5. The Tiny Bell Trio, which first performed at the Bell Caffee in New York\u00eds Soho about eight years ago, definitely works as a group with every member anticipating the musical paths the others are about to take. Douglas is clearly the dominant force in the group and his interplay with drummer Jim Black is the backbone of the group. Guitarist Brad Shepik is most effective as a foil for Douglas, at least to my ears.\nAs is fairly common with the groups in the Jazz at the Edge series, the performers generally refrained from introducing the names of their tunes. An exception was a piece by Robert Schumann, but as Douglas pointed out, the composer might have had reservations about the way his piece was treated, so maybe it was poetic justice that this was the only tune that was identified. In the past the Tiny Bell Trio played a lot of Eastern European influenced music, but this performance only rarely showcased this part of their repertoire. One of the last pieces in the second set came close to a klezmer feel. More often I heard Spanish influences, but mostly the tunes were downtown New York, where Douglas of course is one of the major voices.\nDouglas is a very impressive trumpeter. He seemingly can do everything. He whispers, growls, croons, and shouts on his trumpet in a way that few can. At times I found myself thinking of Douglas as the Don Ellis of the nineties, since they both bring open horn chops and a flair for melody into an avant garde setting. Whether Douglas can achieve the (short-lived) popular success that Ellis had remains to be seen. Drummer Jim Black is another great avant garde stylist and has to be seen as well as heard. What he does with very small means is simply astounding. He has already visited Ann Arbor half a dozen times and is no doubt returning, so if you have not seen him yet do not despair",

She found a passion for this industry when both of her parents suffered from strokes. After the incident, she was deeply moved by all the support she had from the caregivers who help to teach her how to better care for her parents. When both recovered, Pinn began to work as a caregiver so that she can provide support not only to her patients, but also to other families. She understands that it can be a great undertaking when caring for a loved one and she does her best to help the family feel confident when helping with care.\nPinn uses her knowledge that she has gained after 11 years of caregiving to help families when they need support the most: end of life care. This is always a hard time for all those who are involved and are unfamiliar with these situations. Pinn has touched the lives of many families who reached out to In Home Care Solutions for assistance with palliative or hospice cases. She will train family members if they ask, hears their concerns and gives advice, and she will sit with them holding their hand in silence when no words can explain the thoughts in their heads. Although she is with them for a short time, she always makes a huge impact on their lives that they remember. We know this to be true because many times they will come back to us in another time of need and specifically request Pinn by name.",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Michel Barnier and Michel Petite, Read Sense on Cents\nFINRA Investigates Thomas Weisel for \u2018Stuffing\u2019 ARS; Will SEC Investigate FINRA for Same? \u00bb\nKaren Fischer Petitions for FINRA Board Seat\nA democratic process requires fair, open, and robust interaction between and among elected individuals. That interaction will only occur if the individuals themselves are representative of a wide constituency. To that end, I am happy to post the following petition from Karen Z. Fischer, who is running for a seat on the FINRA Board of Governors. I am not endorsing Karen\u2019s candidacy per se, but I am very much endorsing a process which will promote real transparency and integrity. To that end, I welcome sharing Ms. Fischer\u2019s letter:\nDear FINRA Executive Representatives,\nI am writing to you to ask for your support in getting my name listed as one of the three candidates you are entitled to vote for as part of the ballot to represent you on the Board of Governors. I would like to run for the three (3) year term. I have recently completed my three year term as part of the District 7 Conduct Committee. Rest assured, I did bring to the committee meetings issues concerning the small firm population that has arisen due to the consolidation of NASD and the NYSE. I had no problems being very verbal and was able to get my points across. Unfortunately, I do not believe that on the district level we make that much impact, Being a member of the Board of Governors would allow me to continue trying to make a difference,\nWe need to make doing business for our members easier, not harder, especially during this very competitive time where businesses are counting on every penny they can get. The current regulatory body has missed horrendous issues, but has no trouble fining a small firm that does not handle cash or securities for AML procedures. We need to have regulation that is responsive to small firm issues and not try to fit us into rules that do not pertain to us. One size fits all does not work.\nI have watched first hand as regulation after regulation has forced small firms out of business and have driven up the cost of maintaining a Broker Dealer. I not only listen to your concerns, I am directly involved in those concerns. As a Financial and Operations Principal and Compliance Principal for a number of small firms, I deal with regulation on a day to day basis. I am all for regulation. We need to clean up the industry and turn the public opinion around. We need to protect ourselves against another Bernie Madoff or Stanford, but we need to do it in the right manner. We need to get representation on the board that has no ties to the \u201cgood old boys club.\u201d We need change. We need regulators to focus on the real issues, and spend less time on administrative issues that have no bearing on the public. We need to be able to work with our regulators like a team for the same goal, an ethical and honest indust ry. We need to have the best representation afforded to us to be able to achieve these goals. We need representatives that are willing to address your concerns without being influenced by others on the board. The only way this can be achieved is by your vote. Whomever you decide to support, your vote is your voice. Use it and use it loudly.\nGetting my name on the ballot is only the first step to good small firm representation. I have to win the position to make a difference.\nMs. Karen Fischer Biography:\nI am a graduate accountant from Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY and have been in practice for forty years. I moved to Florida in 1983. I have been in this industry since 1988. I have the series 7, 27, 79 and series 24 licenses. I am registered as a Financial and Operations Principal and Compliance Officer for one Broker Dealer, Financial Principal for three other Broker Dealers, and an outside acco untant and compliance consultant for five other B/D\u2019s. My BD\u2019s are located all over the east coast, so I am familiar with many districts and state regulators. I am also a FINRA Industry Arbitrator and a State of Florida Certified Mediator. I help firms through the arduous start-up process, AML audits, .and any other Regulatory Consulting requests. As part of my compliance responsibilities, I update supervisory manuals. I watch closely for all the new notifications on the consolidated rule changes. I comment on issues I feel need my input. If I were on the Board, my comments would be more effective and would be representative of your interests.\nMy positions directly expose me to regulation, regulators and securities attorneys. I have experience working with the FINRA, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the IRS, and the FBI. As an arbitrator, I have been involved in issues that are vital to the survival of a firm, from both sides of the spectrum. Being an arbitrator exposes me first hand to compliance issues a book or classroom could never touch on.\nIn order for me to be nominated and my name placed on the ballot I need at least ten percent (10%) of the eligible members signed petitions returned to FINRA immediately. Mary Schapiro\u2019s gift to us is limiting our voice to 3 votes, and many of the choices are hand picked by FINRA.

        "raw_content": "Lubovna Castle\n2 km from Star\u00e1 \u013dubov\u0148a town, eastern Slovakia\nfist record dates back to 14th Century\nbig castle with museum exposition\nopen-air museum, medieval village\n370 km, Distance from Poprad 50 km\nLubovna Castle History\nThe impressive building of the Stara Lubovna Castle was constructed at the beginning of the 14th century as a part of the fortification system. The first written record dates back to 1311. Primarily a property of Polish monarchs, the Drughet family owned the castle until 1343. Notable Hungarian and Polish monarchs such as Maria Theresa of Austria or Sigismund of Luxembourg visited the castle. Even today their portraits decorate the castle walls.\nIn the 15th century, Sigismund the King of Hungary borrowed money from Poland and put the thirteen towns of Spis and the Stara Lubovna Castle in pawn. Later he visited the castle and together with Vladislaus II signed the peace agreement. For the long time the castle was administered by Polish mayors. In the 16th century it became the property of a Polish noble family Lubomirski. It was destroyed by fire in the middle of the 16th century but reconstructed and enlarged in the 17th century. The reconstruction gave the castle its today\u2019s appearance. Renaissance palace, a Baroque chapel and a palace were also built after the fire. In 1768 M\u00f3ric Be\u0148ovsk\u00fd, a noble and a well-known traveller who became the King of Madagascar was imprisoned in the castle jail. The Zamoyski family was the castle\u2019s last owner and since 1945 the Stara Lubovna Castle has been the state property.\nLubovna Castle Tour\nAccess to the Castle: We highly recommend visiting the castle located north of Stara Lubovna. Located on a hill, the castle is clearly visible from a long distance. Just follow the signs. Parking is available about 500 m (0.3 mi) from the castle near Star\u00e1 \u013dubov\u0148a Open-Air Folk Museum. Another parking lot is situated next to the Middle Ages area. The castle is accessible by road; you just have to take an easy walk.\nYou can tour the castle individually or with a guide. Guided tours are offered every half an hour and last about 75minutes. The tour starts at the main gate. If you decide to see the castle on your own, a map with the numerical legend will help you to navigate throughout the castle easily.\nIn the first building you will learn about the castle history. The pictures capturing the images of the castle from different historic periods are especially worth seeing. When you pass along a large courtyard, you will reach the other parts of the castle. One of the castle\u2019s attractions is an accessible underground corridor. An impressive tower offers panoramic view of the area below the castle. From there you can see the Tri koruny Mountain (Three Crowns Mountain) in Pieniny and if you are lucky and the weather is nice, you can even admire the High Tatras. However, if you want to enjoy the panoramic view, you will have to climb one hundred steep and narrow steps leading up to the tower. The tower, which used to serve as a prison, can be found in the oldest part of the castle. To reach the tower, you will have to pass through a large gate. Castle dungeon is accessible to public as well.\nYou can admire the castle surroundings even from the courtyards. The castle houses several exhibitions: historic carriages and bicycles, old handicraft tools, castle\u2019s historic furniture, the picture gallery with paintings of the castle\u2019s proprietors, and the exhibition of clothing from various historic periods (this exhibition is changed often to focus on a specific historic era). Before the end of your visit you will tour St. Michael\u2019s Chapel originally from the 17th century. Finally, you will conclude the tour by visiting the castle\u2019s well and the last rooms furnished by the castle\u2019s last owners \u2013 the Zamoyski family.\nlast entrance at 5 pm\nlast entrace at 2 pm",

Market growth will be responsible for 65 percent of that demand, while 35 percent will be to replace old aircraft, Embraer said.\nThe company said industry profits were eroding amid a rise in costs which is expected to continue.\nEarlier this month, Boeing Co <BA.N> said it struck a tentative deal for a controlling stake in the commercial aircraft arm of Embraer, under a new $4.75 billion joint venture.\n(Writing by Alexandra Alper, Editing by Rosalba O\u2019Brien)\nhttps://ift.tt/2zHqa5Q",

Today I woke up to this blog post from a friend and this verse on my Bible app. A great reminder!!\nJames 1:13-14 AMP\nLet no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by [what is] evil and He Himself tempts no one. But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions).\nI have chosen to follow Jesus into a place of great discomfort in order to find healing. I am willing to follow Him, despite the uncomfortably that will come, knowing that He always intends to bring life and light into my life. I have been walking with Jesus long enough to know that I can trust Him completely.\nHe has brought me to a deep, dark and hardened place within. A cold place I have been trying to keep buried for a very long time. I know he desires to break through this place and that I will be thankful when I\u2019ve come out in the other side. It still scares me.\nThis journey I am about to embark upon will be difficult and I will need support. I have been blessed with a sister in Christ who is ready and willing to walk by my side through it.\nGod has done such amazing things in this life I lead and has done such works in me. I faithfully expect that this too will be amazing and that He will use it for His Glory.\nI am at the threshold of this long journey and can already see just how big this unresolved pain has been affecting my daily life. I have a glimmer of how this has been causing such struggles for me. I cannot imagine how much more I will discover or how liberating it will be to finally get on the other side.\nNever before have I dealt properly with these deep, dark secrets. Anger, uncertainty and pain has been the consequences of holding onto these things. The time has come for Jesus\u2019 Holy light to shine into these parts of me so that I may find freedom.\nI choose to follow Jesus, even when I know it will cause old wounds to reopen and a great discomfort for a period of time. I trust in Him in all things. I pray daily for transformation and healing, now it\u2019s time for me to walk through this place to find it.\nI will keep my focus on eternity and obediently follow my Lord into greener pastures. I know He forgives me and it\u2019s time for me to forgive myself.",

        "raw_content": "Over the past 16 years, astronomers have found more than 700 planets outside of our Solar System. We call these distant worlds \u2018exo-planets\u2019.\nAstronomers have different ways that they can search for exo-planets. For example, they can observe how a star dims when a planet passes in front of it. Another method is to look at how a star wobbles because of the pull of a planet\u2019s gravity. (Click here for more information on this.)\nHowever, both of these methods are only good for detecting planets that are bigger than the planet Jupiter, or those that are close to their stars, like how Mercury orbits close to our Sun. But what about the rest?\nOver the past six years, astronomers have been using telescopes in Chile, Australia and South Africa to search for exo-planets using a totally different method. This new method can detect planets both big and small, and those that lie much further from their stars too.\nIn this new method, astronomers use stars like magnifying glasses! It sounds bizarre, but the pull of a star\u2019s gravity is strong enough to bend the beam of light from a more distant star as it travels past it. Because of this, when we view the distant star from Earth, it looks like it has been magnified. And astronomers can tell if the star that is acting like a magnifying glass has a planet in orbit around it, as the power of the magnification is even greater!\nSo what have these big magnifying glasses in space revealed? Well, it seems that planets are much more common than anyone had thought. \u201cRemarkably, these data show that planets are more common than stars in our Galaxy,\u201d says astronomer Arnaud Cassan. Think about that when you look up at the night sky full of stars!\nEinstein first predicted the idea of cosmic magnifying glasses in 1915, but it took about 90 years for astronomers to use this tool to find exo-planets!",

We also want everyone to have the opportunity of meeting with Him. We also want to meet the needs of the people of Sandfields in any way that we can. We are constantly looking for new ways of ministering in a practical way in the area.\nIf you feel the call of God on your life and are looking for a place where you can identify and develop the ministry that God has given you, or are just looking for a church where you will get a warm welcome and sound teaching, please get in touch with us via our web site, or by email.\nChurches that stand still, stagnate and die. As the bible says, \u2018without a vision, the people perish\u2019. As a result, we want to see more and more people become Christians through our ministry and outreach into the local community and beyond.\nSpiritually, we are encouraging and teaching young and old to develop and use gifts of the Holy Spirit freely as well as natural gifts. We believe in the 'priesthood of all believers' which means we have no restriction for women ministering in the church (Helen and Simon are joint pastors!)\nOur ultimate goal is to see the church members being faithful witnesses of Jesus in the wider community and as a result see lives changed by His redeeming power and grace.\n\u201cGive every man, woman and child the opportunity of understanding the gospel and to provide a church where they can grow in ministry for the glory of God.\u201d\nOur statement of Faith is as follows:\n\u2022 We believe that the Bible (i.e. the Old and New Testaments excluding the Apocrypha), is the inspired Word of God, the infallible, all sufficient rule for faith and practice. 2 Tim. 3:15-16 2 Peter 1:21\n\u2022 We believe in the unity of the One True and Living God who is the Eternal, Self-Existent \u201cI AM\u201d, Who has also revealed Himself as One being co-existing in three Persons \u2013 Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Deut. 6:4 Mark 12:29 Matt 28:19 2 Cor. 13:14\n\u2022 We believe in the Virgin Birth, Sinless Life, Miraculous Ministry, Substitutionary Atoning Death, Bodily Resurrection, Triumphant Ascension and Abiding Intercession of the Lord Jesus Christ and in His personal, visible, bodily return in power and glory as the\nblessed hope of all believers.

Titus 2:11, 3:5-7 Rom. 10:8-15 1 Cor. 15:3-4\n\u2022 This experience is also known as the new birth, and is an instantaneous and complete operation of the Holy Spirit upon initial faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. John 3:5-6 James 1:18 1Pet. 1:23 1 John 5:1\n\u2022 We believe that all who have truly repented and believed in Christ as Lord and Saviour are commanded to be baptised by immersion in water. Matt. 28:19 Acts 10:47-48 Acts 2:38-39\n\u2022 We believe in the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an enduement of the believer with power for service, the essential, biblical evidence of which is the speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. Acts 1:4-5, 8, 2:4, 10:44-46, 11:14-16, 19:6\n\u2022 We believe in the operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit and the gifts of Christ in the Church today. 1 Cor. 12:4-11, 28 Eph. 4:7-16\n\u2022 We believe in holiness of life and conduct in obedience to the command of God. 1 Pet. 1:14-16 Heb. 12:14 1 Thess. 5:23\n\u2022 We believe that deliverance from sickness, by Divine Healing is provided for in the Atonement.

Another area that we work in, and is less about making money, is the social impact.

Curry said in his Easter 2017 message. \u201cFollow in the way of Jesus. Don\u2019t be ashamed to love. Don\u2019t be ashamed to follow Jesus.\u201d\nThe Festive day of Easter is Sunday, April 16.\nEaster 2017 Message\nIt\u2019s taken me some years to realize it, but Jesus didn\u2019t just happen to be in Jerusalem on that first Palm Sunday. He wasn\u2019t on vacation. He wasn\u2019t just hanging out in town. Jesus was in Jerusalem on purpose. He arrived in Jerusalem about the time of the Passover when pilgrims were in the city. When people\u2019s hopes and expectations for the dawn of freedom that Moses had promised in the first Passover might suddenly be realized for them in their time.\nJesus arranged his entrance into Jerusalem to send a message. He entered the city, having come in on one side of the city, the scholars tell us, at just about the same time that Pontius Pilate made his entrance on the exact opposite side of the city. Pilate, coming forth on a warhorse. Pilate, with soldiers around him. Pilate, with the insignias of Rome\u2019s Empire. Pilate, representing the Caesars who claimed to be son of god. Pilate, who had conquered through Rome the people of Jerusalem. Pilate, representing the Empire that had taken away their freedom. Pilate, who represented the Empire that would maintain the colonial status of the Jewish people by brute force and violence.\nJesus entered the city on the other side, not on a warhorse, but on a donkey, recalling the words of Zechariah:\nBehold your King comes to you\nTriumphant and victorious is He\nHumble and riding on a donkey\nJesus entered the city at the same time as Pilate to show them, and to show us, that God has another way. That violence is not the way. That hatred is not the way. That brute force and brutality are not the way.\nJesus came to show us there is another way. The way of unselfish, sacrificial love. That\u2019s why he entered Jerusalem. That\u2019s why he went to the cross. It was the power of that love poured out from the throne of God, that even after the horror of the crucifixion would raise him from death to life.\nGod came among us in the person of Jesus to start a movement. A movement to change the face of the earth. A movement to change us who dwell upon the earth. A movement to change the creation from the nightmare that is often made of it into the dream that God intends for it.\nHe didn\u2019t just happen to be in Jerusalem on that Palm Sunday. He went to Jerusalem for a reason. To send a message. That not even the titanic powers of death can stop the love of God. On that Easter morning, he rose from the dead, and proclaimed love wins.\nSo you have a blessed Easter. Go forth to be people of the Resurrection. Follow in the way of Jesus. Don\u2019t be ashamed to love. Don\u2019t be ashamed to follow Jesus.\nHave a blessed Easter. And bless the world. Amen.\nJoin Bishop Bud Cederholm \u2013 People\u2019s Climate March in Washington\nBishop Bud Cederholm is planning to attend the People\u2019s Climate March in Washington, D.C. on April 29, and he has heard from several Episcopalians planning to march in Washington or \u2026 Read more\u2026\nCategories St. Paul's Blog\nRobert E.

        "raw_content": "About St Stephen with St Paul's\nSt Stephen with St Paul's church grew out of a recognised need for mission in the growing community of Hyson Green more than 125 years ago. Today, while the landscape and diversity of the area has changed, Christ's love and teachings are as central and vital as ever to meeting the needs of our community.\nSt Paul's church on St Paul's Avenue, Hyson Green, was built in 1844 but by the 1880s a further church was needed in order to accommodate the growing population. The Nottingham Spiritual Aid and Church Extension Society, founded in 1882, funded a curate, the Rev Silas Edge,\nbegin work in northern Hyson Green in September 1882. The church (right) was dedicated to St Luke and was opened on Thursday 6 December 1883 by the Bishop of Lincoln.\nIn November 1886 the name of this mission church was changed to St Simon's. The baptism register reads: \u2018the name of this Mission Church was altered ... so as not to confuse with the old church of St Luke\u2019s, Nottingham\u2019.\nThe intention from the outset was that the iron church should be a temporary building, but there was no money available for erecting a permanent church, although in 1888 a parish room (now demolished) was built. However, the closure of St Stephen\u2019s, Bunkers Hill, as a result of the clearance of the Charlotte Street area, provided an opportunity which the Church of England seized. The compensation\npaid by the Great Central railway for demolishing the Bunkers Hill church and compulsorily purchasing the land on which it was built, was used to build a new, permanent church of St Stephen\u2019s on the site of the mission church in Hyson Green.\nLeft: The laying of the foundation stone of St Stephen's church, Hyson Green, by the Bishop of Southwell\u2019s wife, Lady Laura Ridding, on 20 May 1897, Ascension Day.\nWith the redevelopment of Hyson Green in the 1970s with falling congregation numbers at both St Stephen\u2019s and St Paul\u2019s, Southwell Diocese decided to fund only one full-time minister in Hyson Green. In September 1984 the Rev Glyn Jones was instituted vicar of both St Stephen\u2019s and St Paul\u2019s. and 1987 the two parishes were amalgamated as the joint parish of Hyson Green St Paul\u2019s, and St Stephen\u2019s, Nottingham.\nIn January 1990 St Stephen's with St Paul's was awarded a grant from the Church Urban Fund to develop the site with the building of The Vine community centre and social housing replacing allotments and the vicarage. The project was given a major boost when on 8 June 1990 Her Majesty The Queen, as Patron of the Church Urban Fund, and Prince Philip, visited the church. They were received by the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, the Bishop of Southwell, and Sir Richard O\u2019Brien, chairman of the fund, and they viewed various displays before unveiling a commemorative plaque.\n(This history is taken from a longer article about St Stephen's from Southwell and Nottingham Church History Project)\nThe PCC is responsible for the financial affairs of the church. It also has responsibility for the care and maintenance of the church fabric and its contents, through the churchwardens and other volunteers.The PCC has a voice in the forms of service used by the church and may make representations to the bishop and deanery synod on matters affecting the welfare and pastoral care of the parish. The PCC usually meets six times a year. Copies of the Annual Report and financial statements are available in church. Copies of the minutes are held in the church office.\nNext PCC meeting\nIn the Church Lounge starting at 7:30 p.m.",

        "raw_content": "Home | News Wednesday 1 June 2011\nSudan deploys troops to borders with Libya\nMay 31, 2011 (KHARTOUM) \u2013 The Sudanese government sent reinforcements to the borders with Libya amid reports of fighting between Darfur rebels and armed Libyan opposition, an official said today.\nA Libyan rebel fighter arrives to take position at Misrata\u2019s western front line, some 25 kilometres from the city centre May 26, 2011 (Reuters)\nHafez Omar Alfa spokesman for the state government of North Darfur which borders Libya, said in a statement that the measures undertaken are designed to prevent leakage of weapons and entry of the Darfur rebels that reportedly clashed with Libyan opposition.\nThe official said that the security arrangements are preventive and defensive in nature as part of the security plan in place since the outbreak of the crisis of Libya.\n\"We took all precautions early in order to avoid any effects or possible negative repercussions on the security, social or economic aspects as a result of Libyan battles and reports of clashes between Darfuri movements and Libyans rebels,\" Alfa said.\nGaddafi is fighting an armed rebellion that initially started as a popular uprising in mid-February. The Libyan opposition managed to control most of the Eastern side of the country. The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) in March authorized a no-fly zone over Libya and using all necessary means to protect civilians.\nNow in its fourth month, Libya\u2019s conflict is deadlocked on the ground, with anti-Gaddafi rebels unable to break out of their strongholds and advance towards Tripoli, where Gaddafi appears to be firmly entrenched.\nRebels control the east of Libya around the city of Benghazi, Libya\u2019s third-biggest city Misrata, and a mountain range stretching from the town of Zintan, 150 km (95 miles) south of Tripoli, towards the border with Tunisia.\nSudan closed its shared borders with Libya in early July 2010 after Libya provided sanctuary to Khalil Ibrahim, the leader of the Darfur rebel group justice and Equality Movement (JEM).\nThe borders were re-opened in February this year as Sudan attempted to evacuate thousands of its citizens fleeing the war in Libya.\nLast week, a Libyan rebel commander said that opposition fighters fought off a Sudanese mercenary force 18 miles (30 kilometers) west of the southeast oasis of Kufra.\nHe said they also found documents indicating the fighters were from Darfur JEM.\nThe pro-government Al-Intibaha newspaper said last week that Darfur rebels from the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM) led by Abdel-Wahid Al-Nur also clashed with Libyan opposition near Kufra.\nWitnesses in Libya have reported African mercenary fighters shooting at protesters or being captured by anti-Gadhafi forces. Some were flown in to put down the rebellion, but most fighters were already in the country.\nIn a related issue Kamal Huzayfa, a leading figure in the Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC), concluded his visit to Sudan where he vowed intensification of military campaign against Gaddafi\u2019s rule.\nHuzayfa disclosed that the TNC will send some of its members for training inside Sudan but did not elaborate on the nature of the training. He expressed the council\u2019s gratitude to the people of Sudan and its government for their support.\n2 June 2011 04:25, by son of man\nwhy is bashir jumping up and down? is it not the same Gaddafi that ask the african nations to disregards icc in your support? i think your government will fall before Gaddafi\u2019s. because he is the only arab leader that call africa home and respect other african. you and the bunch of other arabs in north africa and the middle east are now conpiring against Gaddafi in supports of terrorist but the rest of Africa will stand with him. don\u2019t foreget how libya help sudan during it darkes days. so don\u2019t think that this terrorist will do the same if they come to power because libya will be disintegrated and there will be no peace in north africa for a very long time. it\u2019s good see this division happening to the arabs ha ha very funny. i thought you sons of bastard were smart enough but now i know you are just alots of idiots who happen to believe the same prophets.",

Audi will not be represented by its factory team Audi Sport North America in the American Le Mans Series in 2009.\nAs a result of its newly aligned motorsport program Audi offers its motorsport customers a bespoke vehicle concept for the first time: Audi Sport developed the new R8 LMS specifically to suit the user-friendly and cost-effective requirements in the production-based GT3 class in international motorsport. The powerful 500 hp plus race car based on the Audi R8 is due to be delivered in order to prove itself on track throughout the 2009 season.\nThe American Le Mans Series involvement will not be continued. Audi entered the American Le Mans Series in the year 2000 and has been instrumental in building up this championship ever since. The championship developed to become one of the most fascinating motorsport series within a few years, which offered and still offers the ever increasing fan community exciting motorsport. The ALMS is also recognized internationally and is regarded as the world's best sportscar championship. \"The decision to withdraw was a very difficult one also for these reasons. Furthermore, with the Champion racing team we also had a partner that operates at the highest level. The extraordinary dedication and precision of Team Champion was the key to Audi's victories over the last few years in America. We achieved an unprecedented winning series together. Since the 2000 season Audi has won the LMP1 title nine-times in succession in this high-caliber sportscar championship. Our brand dominated proceedings last season by taking seven wins in eleven races. TDI in racing supported the market launch of Audi TDI technology in the USA perfectly,\" says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich positively of the AUDI AG involvement in the ALMS.\nEven though AUDI AG concentrates its factory involvement at European venues throughout the 2009 season in these economically tough times, the American motorsport friends will be treated to a premiere: The completely newly developed Audi R15 TDI sports prototype should make its debut on 21 March 2009 during the 12-hour race at Sebring, Florida (USA). This international sportscar classic, which should be contested by Audi Sport Team Joest, is traditionally regarded as excellent preparation and final test-race for the 24 Hours of Le Mans (France). At the same time, the race at Sebring with its special demands made of man and machine guarantees excellent motorsport.",

The truth is that crime is problem around the world and people are always looking for ways and means to protect themselves from the criminal element. The best way to do this is to have the most effective measures for access control in Pretoria installed.\nThere are many different types of security products on the market to assist you in improving your security measures through access control in Pretoria. The most basic of these is of course security gates the most innovative of these being retractable with an integrated slam lock. A slam lock on your security gates allows you to instantly lock and secure an area without the use of a key.\nNext you have electronic and magnetic locks. These can be used both in and out of doors for gates and doors. The electronic or magnetic mechanism normally works in conjunction with a keypad, swipe card scanner or remote control device to allow access through the door or gate. These types of innovative access control locks are ideal for use where many people require access to a premises or restricted area within a premises. As long as someone has the right password, magnetic swipe card or remote, they will be able to gain access.\nThe latest security technologies involving access control in Pretoria are referred to as biometrics. Biometrics uses the human body as the password to gain access through electronic or magnetic door and gate locks. The most common of these are fingerprint scanners. Every person in the world has a unique fingerprint that can be entered into a computer security system. A fingerprint scanner can then read the print of a person trying to gain access and then access the computer data base to find whether they are authorised to enter and release the lock.\nIris scanners work in much the same way except that the eye is scanned instead of a fingerprint. Hand mapping has also become quite popular in the world of biometric access control. It is important to research all the advances that have been made in access control technology to ensure that you have the most up to date security measures in place.\nFor more information on how security products for access control in Pretoria can improve your security protocols, you can contact us.",

Most often, homeowners decide to use gates which match the style of the perimeter fencing, but whatever the case, its the functional element of the access control gates which is critical. Strength needs to be a key priority in any gate, as it needs to be able to withstand attacks from motor vehicles as well as thugs attempting to ram their way into your grounds and home.\nAccess control is a term for a range of products like locks, remote controls and intercoms, designed to allow gate entrance only to specific persons with authorization to enter.

Bill Haslam is pushing a 7-cent hike in the state\u2019s gas tax, new fees on electric vehicles and rental cars and an end to being able to have an open container of alcohol in a car as part of an overall package aimed at tackling a $10 billion backlog of road projects that have been waiting for funding.\nThe plan, which is officially known as the Improving Manufacturing, Public Roads and Opportunities for a Vibrant Economy or IMPROVE Act, also calls for slashing the state\u2019s sales tax on groceries by another half percent, $113 million in cuts to the state\u2019s business taxes, as well making additional cuts to the Hall Income Tax.\nFlanked by mayors from across Tennessee, as well as a handful of business leaders, Haslam unveiled his plan on Wednesday, which calls for the first gas tax increase since 1989.\n\u201cEverybody in here is concerned that Tennessee is the type of place that attracts great jobs. We can\u2019t be in a situation where we\u2019re at a competitive disadvantage,\u201d Haslam said.\nUnder Haslam\u2019s proposed plan, Tennesseans would begin to pay an additional 7 cents per gallon on gasoline and 12 cents per gallon on diesel beginning in July.\nThe dual gas tax increases would net the state\u2019s Department of Transportation an additional $227.8 million, with cities receiving about $39 million and counties another $78 million.",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019ve been hearing the catchphrase \u201cliving wage\u201d come up more and more lately. I\u2019m sure part of that is due to the recent Citizen\u2019s Initiative in Maine that will raise the minimum wage by more than 50% over the next few years. Even so, the topic is on the minds of families across the country.\nAs a family of six, with two self-employed parents, we\u2019re no strangers to the struggle to make ends meet. Believe me, I have nothing but empathy for the folks who are trying to figure out whether to pay the electric bill or the heat bill because they just can\u2019t pay both this month. I know what it\u2019s like to have your only car suddenly break down and need thousands of dollars of repair work at a time when you can least afford it. I\u2019ve been there, done that, and was too broke to buy the t-shirt. I don\u2019t say all of this to elicit sympathy. (Truly, I don\u2019t feel sorry for myself when I\u2019m still better off than 95% of the people in the world.) I say it to make the point that I understand where people are coming from when they talk about wanting to make a \u201cliving wage\u201d.\nWould it surprise you to hear that I oppose mandatory minimum wage increases?\nWe\u2019ve barely started to see the effects of the new increases here in Maine. Some small businesses have been forced to cut employee hours and even lay off some of their employees because they just can\u2019t afford the increase in pay at the current number of hours that they\u2019re paying for. Hiring employees is expensive any way that you look at it. Not only do you have the cost of the hourly wage, but you also have to pay worker\u2019s comp insurance, health insurance, vacation pay, and so on. You\u2019ll need to either do the payroll yourself of pay someone else to do it for you. That\u2019s more than just writing a check every week though. There\u2019s a lot of tax paperwork and withholding payments to the IRS that need to be taken care of. (Heaven help you if you make a mistake on any of that!) If you have 4 employees who each work about 30 hours per week, you are looking at paying out an additional $28,000 per year in wages by 2020. Keep in mind that this does not increase the number of employees or the number of hours worked.\nWhen you\u2019re a small business owner, $28,000 is nothing to sneeze at. Most of these business owners are not rolling in the dough. Where will this extra money come from? Well, they can reduce employee hours by enough to negate the extra wages. This also means that they\u2019ll either need to cut the hours that their business is open, or fill in all of those extra hours themselves. (This is on top of all of the other work that they\u2019re already doing to keep their business going.) Or, they can increase their profits to cover the cost of the additional wages they need to pay. How does a business owner do that? By raising prices, of course.\nSo, while Maine workers will be making more per hour, they\u2019re going to have to contend with reduced hours and an increase in the cost goods and services that they need. Those who are working fewer hours could pick up a second or third job to make up for that. If there are jobs to be had. With businesses cutting hours and reducing staff to be able to afford to make payroll though, that\u2019s potentially a pretty big if.\nWe\u2019d like to think that these mandatory minimum wage raises are no big deal to the businesses who employ us. It\u2019s big corporations, and they have plenty of money, right? The truth is, it is a big deal to the small, local businesses! It\u2019s these businesses and the people they employ who will be hurt most by this sort of law.\nThe raise in pay only applies to those who are employees of a business, but what does that mean for the self-employed folks? Will it have any impact on them? Glad you asked! Come back next week to read the answer in Part 2.\nIf you\u2019re interested in learning a bit more about economics, then the Mises Institute is a great website to start with. A few books that I\u2019d recommend are The Creature from Jekyll Island by Edward Griffin, and End the Fed by Ron Paul. Wealth of Nations is considered a classic on the topic, and you can find a digital copy for free on Project Gutenberg\u2019s website.\nCategoriesRestore the Republic Tagseconomics, minimum wage, money\n2 Replies to \u201cCost of Doing Business: Part 1\u201d\nThe problem isn\u2019t the wage\u2013it\u2019s the dollar! Or rather the lack thereof today. Ask most people what a dollar is and they will hand you a federal reserve note. They have no clue what a dollar really is. Congress has the constitutional mandate \u201cTo coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures\u201d and in 1792 they did just that with the Coinage Act of 1792, a law that is still on the books and has not been repealed. It defined the United States dollar as a weight of silver (371.25 grains (troy) of fine silver). Our coins were still produced with this amount of weight in silver dollars, half dollars, quarters, and dimes until 1964. Minimum wage in 1964 was $1.15/hr. Since removing that standard and letting a dollar free float with no intrinsic value or standard at all, the value of our currency and the dollar has plummeted. A 1964 silver dime is worth $1.3238 in melt value today according to http://www.coinflation.com/. That means if you were paid TODAY at 1964\u2019s minimum wage IN 1964 dimes you would be getting $15.22 of value. Did the wage change from 1964 to today? No. The dollar did.\nPrevious PostPrevious Thoughts for Tuesday, March 21st\nNext PostNext Thoughts for Tuesday, April 18th",

Her organization was one of the sponsors, and the attendance greatly exceeded expectations for a first-time event focused on helping support entrepreneurs in Blount County.\nThat message \u2013 what can we do to ensure a robust start-up scene in a county that is already doing so well in growing its manufacturing sector \u2013 was underscored by Storm Taylor, the well-known producer of shows like The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia documentary. He\u2019s a native of Maryville and graduate of Heritage High School who recently returned to his hometown to raise his children.\nWhile Taylor will continue to travel to New York City and Los Angeles several times a year to produce videos, he\u2019s also putting the finishing touches on a business in Downtown Maryville. It\u2019s an upscale pub and bar called Saint Taylor\u2019s Public House. His professional life that has taken him to many parts of the country and his most recent experience in starting a new venture served as a backdrop for the key points Taylor made in his brief, somewhat irreverent but impactful presentation.\n\u201cYou don\u2019t have to go to other places to do what you can do here,\u201d he told the attendees. \u201cIf you\u2019re thinking about being an entrepreneur, just do it. We have a fear of failure. Almost everything fails eventually. It\u2019s not about failure. I\u2019d rather die knowing I tried.\u201d\nTaylor also harkened back to earlier days when the section of Broadway in Downtown Maryville had so much foot traffic with multiple department stores, smaller shops and a couple of movie theaters. That\u2019s certainly not the case today, but it is something that Taylor believes entrepreneurial ventures like Saint Taylor\u2019s Public House can bring back. In fact, he believes it is almost an obligation for others to pursue.\n\u201cWe owe this community something,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cI\u2019m different. I\u2019m trying different things. I hope you can do it, too.\u201d\nPrior to his presentation, Jesse Labelle, a Nashville-based musician and songwriter, entertained the group with several songs including one that won him an award, and Lane Shuler of LeConte Realty wowed the group with an inspiring presentation that you would have needed to see and hear to fully appreciate the motivation and inspiration he provided.\nIn addition to Buchanan and Shuler, other members of the organizing team include Claire Carter, Blount Partnership; Kenneth Herring, Cirrus Insight; Bob Hirche, International Center for Minimal Access Surgery Inc. and also the Downtown Maryville Association; Jeremy LaDuke, Epic Nine; Christy McDonald, Maryville College; Renee Ritchie, Feed the Orphans; K.C. Williams, Blount County Public Library; and yours truly.\nAdditional meet-ups are planned.\nIn the photos below are Labelle playing his guitar and singing, Taylor making his inspiring presentation, and the crowd that filled almost all of the seats and lined the walls of Barley\u2019s Taproom.",

He was subsequently arrested on charges of atheism and blasphemy, faced trial and was sentenced to death in February 2015.\nAl-Shamri is reportedly in his early 20s and comes from the city of Hafar Al-Batin, located in Saudi Arabia\u2019s Eastern Province.\nThe defendant initially pleaded insanity, saying that he was under the influence of drugs and alcohol when he made the comments, Hala Dosari, an advisory board member of Human Rights Watch (HRW) told the Washington Post.\nWhat a country. Where your only hope of not being executed for demonstrating your critical thinking skills, is to claim you were drunk or insane.\nUnfortunately, that defense did not work and Al-Shamri will indeed be put to death.\nI sometimes receive criticism for not focusing on the negative impact that Islam has around the world.\nBut to be honest, Islam does not typically interfere with life here in America.\nFundamentalist Christianity is the danger that I see here at home, and in many ways, it is far more worrisome than a Middle Eastern religion that is only practiced by approximately 1% of our population.\nHaving said that of course I think that ALL religion is problematic in that it numbs critical thinking skills and opens people up to manipulation by con men and hustlers.\nYou know, like Donald Trump.\nDerek Smith May 3, 2018 at 3:43 am\nI assure you that certain people would like to exact the same punishment on atheists like me for merely existing.\nWA Skeptic May 3, 2018 at 5:38 am\nWe often forget how fortunate we are to live in a country that is \u201csupposed\u201d to allow freedom of religious choice.

It is true that there are some items and styles that you cannot wear, but still there are a lot of styles that you can try. In case you are feeling like you are drifting away from the world of fashion, keep in mind that you can be elegant and fashionable in the office too.\n(photo credit: http://www.refinery29.com)\nPencil skirt and ruffle collar jacket\nIn case you would like to show off your sense of fashion at work without being out of line, consider a suit of this kind in a deep green hue that is just perfect for the fall.\nAnne Klein Short Sleeve Skirt Suit\nJust as the name suggests, this suit comes with a short sleeve, and this is why you might be limited when it comes to wearing the suit by the weather. The advantage of the suit is that it is comfortable to wear and very chic, not to mention that it works wonderfully with a trench.\nPants and Elie Tahari Jacket\nIn case you aren\u2019t a fan of getting suits that come with items that are meant to match, you could do the matching on your own. In case you are going for a blazer, you should know that the skinny belts are a nice addition to them and they can create the waist that you have always been dreaming about.\nIf you are working in the corporate world, consider going for button up blazers in rich and dark colors. Regarding the bottoms, there are a lot of options to choose from. Nonetheless know that the best option is to go for the skirts that aren\u2019t too tight, of about knee length, suit dresses and tailored pants.\nAs a tip, you could be searching at retailers for bottoms that are made of the same fabric, so that it will be easier to match them.\nIn case you aren\u2019t working in the corporate world but you would still like to be nicely dressed, you have more options than in case of the corporate world, but still you have to make sure that the items you choose aren\u2019t too fashionable. The trendiest fabrics of this season include boucle and tweed.\nNow you know what to look out for.\nPrevious articleFall Cardigans You Would Love to Have\nNext articleLayers and Layers for Winter Fashionable Warmth",

        "raw_content": "Campus / Community / News / January 25, 2017\nWomen\u2019s march bridges college-town divide\nAround 500 members of the Galesburg community gathered for a Women\u2019s March on Jan. 21, the same day hundreds of thousands of people marched across the country. (Daniel Perez/TKS)\nWhen sophomore Rachel Watson realized she could not attend the Women\u2019s March on Washington with her peers, she was thrilled to have a chance to participate in a local march in Galesburg, unaware of the powerful solidarity that would bind more than 500 students and Galesburg residents together.\n\u201cI think I went into with the preconceived idea that it would be more of a Knox College thing,\u201d Watson said. \u201cIt seemed like it was all members of the community and it was really cool to see they share some of the same beliefs I do.\u201d\nAt 10 a.m. last Saturday, people marched through downtown Galesburg holding signs including pharses such as, \u201cAnother World Is Possible,\u201d \u201cFight Like A Girl\u201d and \u201cA Woman\u2019s Place Is In the Resistance,\u201d while chanting \u201cLove Trumps Hate.\u201d\nThe local march, orchestrated by Chair of Gender and Women\u2019s Studies Magali Roy-F\u008eequie\u008fre, included not only Knox students, professors and faculty but also students of Carl Sandburg College, veterans and Galesburg residents. Titled \u201cAnother World Is Possible,\u201d the march was held to protect more rights than women\u2019s rights.\n\u201cWe believe that another world is possible and that there can be a world of more justice for all, and when we say justice we mean economic justice, social justice and a world of plenty for all,\u201d Roy-Fe\u008equie\u008fre said. \u201cWe\u2019re living in a moment in the United States that is a moment of deep shifts.\u201d\nChair of Gender and Women\u2019s Studies Magali Roy-Fequiere addresses the crowd of marchers at the Galesburg Women\u2019s March on Jan. 21. (Daniel Perez/TKS)\nRoy-F\u008eequie\u008fre, along with Chair of Classics Brenda Fineberg and custodian diana Mackin, teamed up with junior Julia Porter to organize the march.\n\u201cThis was never meant to be anti-Trump, it was more \u2018Don\u2019t take away our rights, don\u2019t marginalize us more than we already are,\u2019\u201d Porter said, noting the politically charged chants and signs that were present at the march. \u201cBut, you can\u2019t avoid the fact that he and his campaign have advocated hatred of other groups, or at least, if not advocating for it, built up a following of people that do.\u201d\nBefore the march began several of the organizers had the opportunity to speak their minds about the march, the election and where they thought the country was heading after Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration.\n\u201cI was devastated by the election,\u201d Mackin said. \u201cI really appreciate this march as a way to come together in a positive way. We need to remind each other that we can make a difference.\u201d\nThe march began at the Knox County Courthouse at 10 a.m. on Jan. 21. (Daniel Perez/TKS)\nAfter the march ended in front of the Galesburg Public Library, marchers were able to talk about their fears and reasons for participating. Thirty-five people met in the Library afterward to organize further efforts and discuss their concerns regarding the new administration.\n\u201cWomen\u2019s rights are so important and of course being an African American, African Americans are so integral to this country, as is every ethnic group,\u201d Naomi Law, 73, said. \u201cThis is a beginning of a celebration for all of us. What I was thinking this morning is that the first female president is sitting in somebody\u2019s classroom. Maybe in a junior high, or a university. Or maybe she\u2019s sitting in the Senate or the House, but she\u2019s somewhere.\u201d\nOne Vietnam veteran, Paul Abell, 72, spoke of a Trump rally he snuck into prior to the election. At the rally he was kicked out for throwing a banner onto the stage declaring \u201cVeterans Against Hate,\u201d because he believes Donald Trump does not support veterans.\n\u201cI wanted to express my feeling against hate. Love trumps hate,\u201d Abell said, explaining why he decided to march.\nDestiny Otte from Carl Sandburg College said that she marched to let the politicians currently holding office know that they will be held accountable for their actions.\nKate Calkins, 55, of Galesburg, spoke in a similar strain. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just about women. It isn\u2019t just about Trump. It\u2019s about our politics, our government, our ability to be represented by what the population actually wants and needs.\u201d\nTags: community election Galesburg march politics protest women's march\nApple Strip: On intersectionality\nCampus Safety Log: Smoking violations",

        "title": "Nick Menza's shocking death stopped a stunning metal supergroup \u2013 The National Student",
        "raw_content": "Nick Menza's shocking death stopped a stunning metal supergroup\nThe world of heavy metal was reduced to shock in late May with the tragic passing of ex-Megadeth drummer Nick Menza.\nNick Menza - Facebook\nMegadeth continues to be one of the brightest bands to emerge from the Bay Area thrash scene of the 1980s; an era which also gave birth to \u2013 alongside the likes of Metallica, Exodus and Testament \u2013 metal veterans Death Angel.\nSo when interviewing the band\u2019s guitarist and founding member Rob Cavestany, it seemed only natural to ask him to say a few words about the recently lost Menza: his impact, his skill and his legacy.\nNo-one will anticipate his response.\n\u201cRust in Peace is a huge album,\u201d Rob begins, discussing the pioneering Megadeth record with which Menza made his debut in 1990.\n\u201cFor me, that\u2019s definitely the Megadeth album that hits home. In the \u201880s, there was the huge rivalry between Megadeth and Metallica. With us being in the Bay Area, we had an allegiance to Metallica: we were friends with them, [guitarist] Kirk Hammett produced our Kill as One demo, so we were definitely taking sides with Metallica. And because of that, it affects the way that you listen to someone\u2019s music sometimes. So I didn\u2019t fully accept Megadeth because of these juvenile feelings that I had at the time.\n\u201cAnd the thing is that during the course of [Death Angel\u2019s seventh album] The Dream Calls for Blood, it was [producer] Jason Suecof that really introduced me to Rust in Peace. That\u2019s his bible, his best thrash album.\n\u201cAnd he just couldn\u2019t believe that I didn\u2019t worship that album like I did the Metallica albums. He made me re-listen to it and discover the insane musicianship and killer songs that were on that album. It did do so for me, in fact it really influenced my guitar playing and took it to another level. So I really have to give credit to Jason for reintroducing me and opening my eyes to that era of Megadeth.\u201d\nBut Rob\u2019s connection with Menza was about to extend far beyond just being a fan of his work.\n\u201cThis is actually the first time I\u2019m going to tell this story in public whatsoever: while we were about to go into the studio to record [Death Angel\u2019s brand new album] The Evil Divide \u2013 somewhere around September/October \u2013 Nick Menza contacted me personally. And I\u2019d never known him personally before.\n\u201cHe contacted me about doing a project: he and [ex-Megadeth guitarist] Chris Poland wanted to do a project with me and they wanted to write with me. I was just blown away, I was shocked, I was like \u2018Holy shit!\u2019\n\u201cI was having these conversations with Nick, but the thing is that we were right about to go into the studio to do the album and I was like \u2018Man, this just isn\u2019t good timing, I need all my focus on Death Angel. I cannot compromise a moment of it.\u2019\n\u201cAnd they wanted to wait for me. He was sending me demos of music that they were writing and they wanted me to contribute to it and I had to say \u2018I just can\u2019t right now.\u2019\n\u201cHe was persistent to the point where it was like \u2018Well just come down to LA so we can jam together!\u2019 I was insanely honoured and flattered that he wanted to work with me, but I couldn\u2019t do it at that time. I was in pre-production, I couldn\u2019t come off that course.\n\u201cAnd that was it. It just never happened.\n\u201cWe\u2019re not going on-tour till September, so I planned to see what was going on with those guys. So when I heard that news, on multiple levels, it was heart-breaking for me. Thinking about the conversations with Nick and what we were gonna do, it\u2019s such a confusing and emotional thing for me. It\u2019s very sad.\n\u201cAnd no-one knew! I barely even told the guys in my band because I didn\u2019t want them to trip out and start thinking that I was getting side-tracked. I\u2019ve hardly told anyone about that because it was just between us: me and Nick and Chris Poland.\n\u201cIt was quite intimidating, because those guys are insane musicians and Chris Poland\u2019s guitar playing is just insanity! So I\u2019m like \u2018Me?! I\u2019m not even in your calibre of musicianship!\u2019 But they seemed to think so and they wanted me in there, contributing to the writing. It was just a huge honour and I\u2019ll always treasure that. I\u2019m just devastated I never had the chance to see what was up with that.\u201d\nRob also says that the demos he did receive \u2013 the only taste of this potential supergroup that ever made it to tape \u2013 \u201cfucking blew my mind!\u201d\n\u201cI didn\u2019t know what to expect, but it massively exceeded anything I did expect. I was excited to get in on it, the guitar playing from Chris was crazy! I was just like \u2018I can\u2019t play with these guys!\u2019\n\u201cI was excited and nervous but I definitely had it in the back of my mind to see what was up with it.\n\u201cBut it\u2019s just that I\u2019m loyal to my band; these guys count on me, they\u2019re loyal to me as well and I\u2019m not going to compromise the mothership for a side-project. I had to put that on the shelf and I\u2019m glad I did because I needed all my focus for this album. That\u2019s the most important thing. I don\u2019t regret it, but it makes you sit there and have these thoughts: it freaked me out!\u201d\nThe loss of Nick Menza was already doubtlessly tragic to metal fans worldwide, but the loss of this promising new supergroup (MegaDeath Angel?) only makes things all the more saddening.\nDeath Angel\u2019s new album, The Evil Divide, will be available physically and digitally on 27th May via Nuclear Blast Records.

This figure is four times higher than the same period last year (1,165) and nearly six times higher than the year before that.\nAs far as October so far several hundred new arrivals have been processed through the port, so it is no wonder that the Temporary Holding Centre in the port is hopelessly inadequate for the task.\nUntil the end of August the Motril Sports Facility was used to house incoming immigrants, something both criticised by the NGOs and the police union for the Polic\u00eda Nacional, whose task it was to guard the premises. After that they were moved to the tent city within the port, but with the end of summer rains they become flooded. Now the government is going to provide more solid modules for the task.\nBut Motril Port is just one of the ports along the coast of Andaluc\u00eda bearing the strain because the figure for the whole of Spain is 43,467 arrivals, which is 206% up on last year. The International Migration Organisation, which belongs to the UN, points out that Spain is the European country that has received most immigrants this year.\nTags: andalucia, costa tropical, figures, granada, immigrants, Motril, news, over crowding, port\nThis entry was posted on Friday, October 26th, 2018 at 1:27 am\tand is filed under Motril.

Saaho\nFilm starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor will be released in multiple languages like Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on 20th April. It has been made on a high-budget of 150 crore and includes the use of VFX as well.\nIt is an upcoming 2018 Indian romantic drama film, directed by Aanand L. Rai. It stars Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in the lead roles and is reportedly being made with a budget of about Rs.160 crore.\nThis is the second collaboration of these leading actors after Jab Tak Hai Jaan. It also will be the last time we will see Sridevi in action on the big screen.\nThe film stars Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh in the lead roles. It has been written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya with a budget of approximately Rs. 200 crore. It's initial release is scheduled during Diwali on 7 November 2018.\nIt is one of the most awaited films of 2018 starring Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar in the lead roles. According to the makers, the previous installment 'Robot' is like a teaser when compared to this film. They have used a lot of VFX technology to apparently give special effects that no one has ever tried in the Indian cinema. With a budget of around Rs. 450 crore, it will be one of the most expensive films in India.\n5. Mahabharata/Randamoozham\nSometime last year, it was reported that Mohanlal will be playing the character of Bhima and the movie is going to be made with a budget of Rs. 1000 crore. This film is an adaption of MT Vasudevan Nair's book Randamoozham and it narrates the epic story through the eyes of Bhima.\nWhile, according to some reports Akkineni Nagarjuna may also be seen in the movie, playing the role of Karna. However, the shooting is yet to start and no other actor has been finalised except for Mohanlal. There are also reports that this movie might be released in two parts. First part will be released in 2020 and second 90 days after it.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Buying Advice / Purchasing A Used Car Without Getting Ripped Off\nThere are so many stories of people getting ripped off when they purchase a used car for sale that many are nervous to even try. The thought of purchasing a \u201clemon\u201d or getting taken advantage of on price scare most level headed people into making the foolish decision to purchase a brand new car.\nThis article will teach you how to purchase a used car for sale without getting ripped off. Just follow the simple tips in this article and you will be able to purchase your next used car for sale with ease.\nThe very first thing that you should do before you even start thinking about purchasing a used car is to figure out what you current financial situation is and what type of financing you will be qualified for.\nMany people find the car they love and only consider financing afterwards. This puts them in a tough situation and they often make a poor decision. They usually buy a car that they really can\u2019t afford and then blame the seller or the \u201cused car industry\u201d on their mistake.\nIf you want to prevent yourself from getting ripped off, do your homework. Find out how much car you can afford and what your interest rates will be. Used cars for sale are great deals if you can get the right financing.\nDon\u2019t trust anything the seller says when purchasing a used car. It is nothing personal, you can just never be too careful. This is a business transaction and it should be conducted as such. Get your car professionally inspected before buying. If the seller doesn\u2019t want you to get the car inspected, then run for the hills and clap your hands for joy because you just narrowly escaped purchasing a \u201clemon\u201d.\nQualified inspectors (usually mechanics) will not only be able to tell you whether or not the car is ok, but they can also offer insight into how much they think it is actually worth. Since they work on cars on a daily basis, they will be able to give you an estimation on how much money you might have to put into the car once you purchase it.\nThe After Sale Stuff\nLet\u2019s say that you have run through all the cautionary steps listed here and otherwise. You have finally decided that you would like to purchase the car and you have even reached an agreement on price. Now comes the tricky part.\nMany used car dealers make more money on the backend sales then they do on the front end. In sales this is called \u201ccontrasting\u201d. They sell you something for $5000, then they say, \u201cWell, for only $200 more we can\u2026\u201d Your brain looks at that $200 and thinks, \u201cWell, that isn\u2019t very much at all compared to the $5000.\u201d That is how they get you.\nBe aware of what they are trying to sell you, especially the \u201cFinance Managers\u201d. The people who are trying to sell you warranties and extended coverage are doing just that, they are selling.\nBe careful, but realize that finding a used car that passes these tips will be an amazing deal for you and your family. Don\u2019t skip out on making the right choice because of fear, there are thousands of used cars being sold every day that are NOT rip offs. We have tried our very best to collect those types of cars here on our site.",

        "title": "On top of Tulsa - TulsaPeople - June 2009 - Tulsa, OK",
        "raw_content": "What goes on at the top of some of Tulsa's tallest buildings?\nTop of the heap. Rise to the top. Coming out on top. The adages justkeep on coming. Clearly, there\u2019s something special about being at thetop. More specifically, there\u2019s something special about being at thetop of some of Tulsa\u2019s most interesting buildings.\nMaybe it\u2019s prestige.\n\u201cFrom the earliest days of civilization, being on a high structure hashad special meaning; you had land that was literally under yourcontrol,\u201d says Rex Ball, architect and co-founder of the Tulsa Art DecoSociety. \u201cEven with the pyramids, the two most important commodities totheir civilization \u2014 treasury and grain \u2014 were at the top of thepyramids.\u201d\nPerhaps that\u2019s why rental costs go up with every floor.\nWhat\u2019s going on at the top of some of Tulsa\u2019s most interestingskyscrapers? The answers include prayer, legal work and business asusual \u2014 but all in these most unusual spaces.\nIn the world of architecture, there\u2019s art deco and there\u2019s Boston Avenue United Methodist Church \u2014 the only church in Oklahoma designated by the Department of the Interior as a National Historic Landmark. Its tower stretches 255 feet toward the heavens, housing 14 floors of classrooms and offices, and on the 15th and top floor, a small prayer chapel.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the highest spot visitors can get to without a ladder and a hatch,\u201d says Brenda Reed, the church\u2019s business administrator.\nNot reachable by elevator, the chapel is accessible only via a private stairway. This space was empty for decades, from the time the church opened in 1929 until the mid-1960s when the chapel was constructed.\nToday, the room is neither heated nor cooled, so use is limited to the occasional communion service held by Bible study classes or a rare (and very small) wedding. Seating capacity can go as high as 14, with guests doubling up on the seven peach-covered benches wedged into as many alcoves. Beige carpeting and neutral walls complete the basic d\u00e9cor.\nThe best two views from the chapel are out and up. Looking outward, visitors get a bird\u2019s eye vista of the city that goes as far as CityPlex Towers and the Arkansas River. Glancing upward, they see vertical beams forming one cross and horizontal beams making another cross on the ceiling, for a cross-within-a-cross effect. One more small bronze cross graces the tower altar, where the woodwork echoes the broken-angle arch designs that permeate the building.\nDr. Adah M. Robinson, then head of the Central High School art department, designed the structure. A friend asked Robinson to come up with a design. Every idea that had been presented up to that time fell short of what the congregation envisioned. Robinson spent the better part of a summer studying Methodism and incorporating the Christian denomination\u2019s tenets into her design.\nPenni Gage, a local historian and tour guide in her free time, says Robinson didn\u2019t receive credit for her work at that time. Instead, credit went to Bruce Goff, one of Robinson\u2019s former students and renowned Tulsa art deco architect. It wasn\u2019t until the mid-1960s that the art teacher was finally credited with the magnificent design.\n\u201cBut, being a good Quaker woman, she also built herself a house with leftover material (from the church building),\u201d Gage says.\nBoston Avenue United Methodist Church is considered one of the finest examples of ecclesiastical art deco architecture in the United States, but putting a monetary value on the structure is close to impossible.\n\u201cWe couldn\u2019t rebuild it for what it\u2019s worth,\u201d Reed says. \u201cThe materials may be available, but the craftsmanship is not.\u201d\nToday\u2019s tallest building in Oklahoma is (drumroll, please \u2026) the BOk Tower, the 52-story, 667-foot structure that straddles Boston Avenue downtown. True, CityPlex Tower in south Tulsa has eight more floors, but it stands 19 feet shorter than the BOk Tower. Must be those high ceilings.\nAny similarities between the BOk Tower and the former Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York are completely intentional. Not just in appearance, but also in structure. John Williams, the CEO of Williams in 1975, commissioned Minoru Yamasaki & Associates, the architectural firm that designed the New York towers, to design his Oklahoma skyscraper.\nWilliams\u2019 original idea was to build two small-scale, 25-floor replicas of the towers in Tulsa, but the multi-building concept had too many inefficiencies. The solution was to stack the buildings on a single footprint, which doubled the height.\nAccording to George Shahadi, director of corporate real estate for Williams, the idea for skyscrapers followed the development and refinement of structural steel. Before such advancements, the technology of construction could not feasibly support structures more than six stories in height. The advent of elevators and air conditioning further brought tall buildings into the 20th century, making the spaces easy to access and to cool.\nToday, once business visitors clear security and get past the ear-popping elevator ride, they get a gasp-worthy perspective of Tulsa from the top two floors. The 51st floor is an indoor mini-park \u2014 an atrium-like environment lush in ground cover, live trees, palms and planters, plus walkways through the nature-like setting. In past lives, the 50th and 51st floors were used as an executive dining room and to house The Summit Club. Over the years, this site has played host to business events and the occasional reception.\nA winding staircase and rounded glass elevator both lead to floor 52, which today serves as a corporate conference room for Williams, with plenty of room for catered meals. Another part of the 52nd floor was home to a health club, which since has been relocated to the Williams Resource Center (the former Williams Center Forum).\nThe floor-to-ceiling windows offer visitors fantastic vantage points to view the entire city in every direction. Because there\u2019s no outside access, such as a balcony or veranda, the inside-looking-out perspective is almost surreal \u2014 like being inside a 3-D Google map where everything seems within reach. There\u2019s the new ballpark just six blocks to the northeast, the BOK Center two blocks to the west and south Tulsa goes on for miles.\nBack in the 1970s and 1980s, the traditional epicenter of downtown activity was near the East Sixth Street and South Boulder Avenue area. But with so much development to the north, it\u2019s easy to see how the BOk Tower has become downtown\u2019s new geographic center.\nOn any given day, the lobby of the 320 South Boston building can be filled with tourists admiring its art deco detail, but they won\u2019t see what goes on at the top \u2014 in the law office of C. Robert Burton.\nJust getting to Burton\u2019s 24th floor existence requires one public elevator, one private and a \u201csecret\u201d flight of stairs tucked into the southeast corner of the 23rd floor. He says he was \u201csomewhat suspect\u201d when his real estate broker suggested the top floor and then \u201chad a visceral reaction\u201d when the door opened on the secluded penthouse suite.\n\u201cAs a trial lawyer, I can work 15-hour days,\u201d Burton says. \u201cThis is the best space downtown to serve my needs, near to where I make my living, at the federal courthouse in downtown.\u201d\nHe didn\u2019t have to do much to his 1,700 square feet of space. The wooden floors were already in place, and the kitchen updates had been made \u2014 including a wine rack in the cabinets. He did add a large flat-screen television in the entry area.\nFrom the north balcony, he can wave to people in the BOk Tower. He can see Gilcrease Museum, the Osage Hills, the BOK Center, the Arkansas River and, soon, the new ballpark. To the east, his view covers the Washington County line, the airport \u201cand Carver and Booker T., where my kids go to school,\u201d Burton says. The south balcony offers a view of the refinery to the west, as well as Oktoberfest festivities on the bank of the Arkansas River. He recommends a night view for the best effect, when \u201cthe horizon looks like diamonds in the sky,\u201d he says.\nThe 320 South Boston building was 10 stories tall when it was constructed in 1917. In 1929, 14 more stories were added, making it the tallest building in the state at 400 feet \u2014 a distinction that held for nearly three decades. The building was designed with all the art deco features of the day, plus a Zeppelin mooring that is still visible from the balcony.\nOther top-floor occupants have included an oil and gas company, a real estate developer and other lawyers. From Burton\u2019s office, a dumbwaiter goes to the 21st floor, where a cafeteria and executive dining room used to be. The junction boxes contain the original handwritten labels designating the specific breakers for the dishwasher, fry cooker and other appliances.\nHistory. Architecture. Workmanship. Craftsmanship. All are important to this native Tulsan.\n\u201cIt\u2019s good to be back home in a historical building,\u201d Burton says.\nMid-Continent Building\nThe two construction phases of the Mid-Continent building happened 66 years apart \u2014 the first 16 floors were built in 1918; the next 20 were added in 1984, a cantilevered tower built around the original structure. The 513-foot-tall building\u2019s top floors currently belong to Berendsen Fluid Power corporate offices. And at the very top, the 36th floor, is the office of the president, Ian Hill.\nHill likes when suppliers visit Tulsa for the first time.\n\u201cThey\u2019re a little surprised by what they find here,\u201d he says, meaning the grandeur of his building and the midtown homes he shows them during his driving tour.\n\u201cYou can concentrate on work because there are no interruptions,\u201d he says of his vast penthouse perch. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to leave at night because it\u2019s so beautiful.\u201d\nHe particularly likes the night view in winter (\u201cthe city seems to go on forever,\u201d he says) and watching the sunsets over the Arkansas River. He also enjoys how green everything gets in the summer, with treetops covering houses, buildings and roads to give him an all-emerald view.\nEach plank of the wooden floors was individually machined. The carpets are Italian silk. His working fireplace features a bronze sculpture. And in the ladies\u2019 room, brass birds function as faucets. An opulent winding staircase connects the three top floors, and is capped by magnificent domed stained glass. The attention to detail never ends.\nThe conference room has all the grandeur and appointments of a White House cabinet room, only nicer. The wood paneling, thick doors, world-class workmanship and materials make meetings there a treat, not a chore, Hill says.\nOutside, the view from Hill\u2019s three-sided balcony miniaturizes all major landmarks. It\u2019s a popular place for lunch or dinner meetings, an often-requested (and seldom granted) venue for wedding photo shoots and a rockin\u2019 place for watching fireworks displays from around the city on the Fourth of July.\nBut skyscrapers aren\u2019t for everyone \u2014 the Mid-Continent sways.\n\u201cThat cantilever gets a workout on windy days,\u201d Hill jokes. \u201cSome people can\u2019t work up here because of motion sickness.\u201d\nThe drapes on the 36th floor touch the floor, which minimizes the sense of movement, but on other corporate floors, drapes and lights can waft, and a glass of water can create a gentle wave.\nIn spite of that, it was no surprise when, in 1979, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.\n\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable up here,\u201d Hill says of his unique workplace. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing (about the space) that won\u2019t surprise you.\u201d\nORU Prayer Tower\nThe Prayer Tower at Oral Roberts University is a divine mix of perspective and symbolism. From anywhere in its 360-degree sweep, the structure looks like a modern-day cross. The upward spiral serves as a reflection of man\u2019s relationship with God. The deck represents the power of the Gospel radiating from the cross. And the tower\u2019s geographical location \u2014 at the center of campus \u2014 reminds visitors of the importance of prayer and that God must always be at the core of a Christian life.\nAn aerial view of the angled gardens and sidewalks leading to the Prayer Tower reveals a Star of David shape. From the base of the building looking up, the spokes of the observation deck depict the crown of thorns, red tips symbolizing the blood shed by Jesus. And atop the Prayer Tower, the eternal flame represents the baptism of the Holy Spirit.\nDesigned by architect Frank Wallace, the 200-foot structure was built in 1967 as one of the original university buildings, and doubles as the ORU Visitor Center. A quick elevator ride takes visitors halfway up, 100 feet off the ground, to the observation deck. This level was once home to Oral Roberts\u2019 private prayer room and a series of smaller prayer rooms. Prayer partners \u2014 hired to pray in round-the-clock shifts for those who sent prayer requests from all over the world \u2014 staffed these quarters.\nToday, in fact, the observation deck is a place to look out across the entire ORU campus, as much of south Tulsa as visibility allows and even downtown on a clear day. Lookout points around the deck feature shadow boxes and frames, which are temporarily empty while the information, including interesting facts and campus highlights, is updated.\nA three-phase remodel is under way for the tower. Last February, a new prayer center opened on the first floor. Phase II, beginning this summer, will update the lobby and theater. Phase III (no start date yet) will transform the observation deck space into a tribute to Oral Roberts, his life and ministry.\nFor now, the sign from the dedication of the Prayer Tower best describes the building\u2019s purpose: \u201cTo be forever in memory of the faithful partners of the Oral Roberts Ministry believing that prayer is the mightiest force on earth.\u201d",

Applying these same principles outward into the community, MVEC has been providing opportunities to local students through the Youth Tour Program and Magic Valley Scholarships program.\n\u201c MVEC\u2019s purpose is to empower the members and communities we serve,\u201d said Luis J. Reyes, Communications Coordinator. \u201c MVEC values the benefits of education by supporting learning opportunities for our members.\u201d\nThe Youth Tour Program was established in 1968 offering local students\u2019 unique opportunities to learn about the government on a first-hand basis. \u201c The Government-In-Action Youth Tour Program was established with one thought in mind \u2014to inspire our next generation of leaders,\u201d Reyes said. \u201c More than 50,000 young Americans have taken advantage of this special opportunity offered by Electric Cooperatives from across the nation.\u201d Reyes said that since its instillation, MVEC has sent 98 local students to Washington, D.C. This year, MVEC, Texas Electric Cooperative and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association will co-sponsor a tour of Washington, D.C., including visiting the monuments, the nation\u2019s Capital, the Smithsonian Institute and other historical and political sites. More than 120 local delegates will join over 1,200 delegates from across the nation, providing an avenue for each representative to learn about the government\u2019s operation and history.\n\u201c This is an excellent opportunity for students attending high school in the Rio Grande Valley,\u201d Reyes said. The Youth Tour Program is available to any high school sophomore or junior living in MVEC\u2019s service area whose family is a member of MVEC. Each contestant must submit one completed application by Feb. 7, 2017. Since 2003, MVEC has awarded more than $1,000,000 in college scholarships to high school seniors throughout the Rio Grande Valley. MVEC\u2019s service territory is broken up into seven districts where eligible students within that district are able to apply for a scholarship. In 2017, MVEC is prepared to award seven $15,000 scholarships to high school seniors. Eligibility requirements include an interview process for the top two students per district by MVEC\u2019s scholarship committee.\nScholarship recipients will need to maintain at least a 2.5 GPA in order to continue to receive funds. Funds are distributed over five years on a per semester basis. The scholarship program is available to any graduating high school senior who is a dependent of an MVEC member (who has been a member for at least one year). The membership account address must be the primary residence of the applicant at the time the scholarship is awarded. Deadline to apply to the scholarship program is Dec. 8, 2016, and scholarships will be granted to those attending accredited institutions of higher education in Texas.\n\u201cMVEC\u2019s mission is to enhance people\u2019s lives by safely providing the most reliable and affordable electric service while keeping our member\u2019s best interest in mind,\u201d Reyes said. \u201cWhile that mission has been accomplished, it needs to be maintained and expanded. Ensuring that everyone in our community is working together to find economic and social opportunities for our youth to stay in our community is our challenge. MVEC wants to help build our next leaders by investing in youth programs that will benefit our Rio Grande Valley students.\u201d Applications can be obtained from any MVEC office, high school counselor\u2019s office or via the website: magicvalley.coop.

        "raw_content": "Is Winona haunted? Merchants say they\u2019re spooked\nBy Chris Hubbuch\n10/31/05 - Winona Daily News\nMerchandise is flying off the shelves at Winona\u2019s Pieces of the Past. Literally.\nJust last week, Carol Loshek was standing in the middle of the Second Street store when she saw a votive candle sail off a display.\nLoshek, who has worked at the home furnishing store for about a year, recognized the work of the building\u2019s ghost.\n\u201cStop playing jokes,\u201d she warned the unseen haunt. \u201cUse your energy to bring us some customers.\u201d\nNo one has seen the ghost, but for store owners Cheri and Duane Peterson, it\u2019s a regular presence since they bought the nearly 150-year-old building in 1999.\nNo one has reported seeing the Pieces of the Past spirit, but from the beginning, Cheri Peterson said she would hear footsteps above when she was working alone in the basement.\nLast year, the Petersons rigged the front door with toy goblins that shook and screamed when set off by a motion detector. One afternoon, an employee working in the basement heard the goblins go off and came upstairs to find no one in the store. She went downstairs, where she heard the goblins again. This time, she noticed that the automatic chime that signals the door opening did not go off. She went upstairs and again found no one.\nLast month, employees came in one morning to find framed photos removed from the wall and placed on the floor, although no one admitted taking them down.\nOnce, when he was closing up, Duane Peterson reported feeling a cold presence.\n\u201cHi, how are you this evening,\u201d he said.\nAcross the store, a display of chimes jingled, as if in answer.\nPeterson promptly left.\nCheri Peterson suspects it is the spirit of a prostitute said to have been shot on the building\u2019s staircase.\nParanormalists Chad Lewis and Terry Fisk investigated the hauntings for their forthcoming book, \u201cThe Minnesota Road Guide to Haunted Locations\u201d and could find no documentation of anyone being killed there. But they also didn\u2019t find any other explanation for the mysterious footsteps, cold spots and items that don\u2019t stay put.\nNot much is known about the early history of the building, which was home to the Winona Candy Co. from 1905 until 1936 and to many bars, including the Sunshine Caf\u00e9, in the years since. The front half is said to date from the 1850s and to have survived the 1862 fire that destroyed most of the town.\nLewis said that in the 1880s it was home to a hotel and brothel \u2014 perhaps the original home of the ghost.\nBoth the Petersons and their employees have experienced strange happenings, but Peterson said no one has ever been so spooked they couldn\u2019t work there.\nMostly, they notice items falling off the shelves in the area of the old dance floor n \u201conce a week\u201d said Loshek. Nothing has been broken, but the employees do sometimes blame the ghost when merchandise is missing.\nFor Cheri Peterson, it\u2019s not her first encounter with the otherworldly. Peterson said she first saw the flowing figure when she was a child in Edgerton, Wis.\n\u201cYeh,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m a believer.\u201d",

Alex Younger, the head of Britain\ufffds Secret Intelligence Service - better known as MI6 - said he was \"very concerned\"\ufffdabout returning British nationals that had fought for or supported the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil). Speaking ahead of the Munich Security Conference which started on Friday, Mr Younger said: \"All experience tells us that once someone's put themselves in that sort of position they are likely to have acquired both the skills and connections that make them potentially very dangerous. \"Anyone who has put themselves in this situation can expect to be questioned and investigated and potentially prosecuted if they return to our jurisdiction.\" When asked about the case of Ms Begum, the heavily pregnant 19-year-old Londoner who travelled to Syria four years ago to become an Isil bride\ufffdand who now wants to return to the UK to have her baby, Mr Younger said: \"British nationals have a right to come to the UK.\" Kadiza Sultana, left, Shamima Begum, center, and Amira Abase going through security at Gatwick airport Credit: Metropolitan Police Britain\ufffds intelligence chief cautioned about showing triumphalism at the demise of Isil, saying such an approach led to hubris. \"The military defeat of the caliphate does not represent the end of the terrorist threat that we face,\"\ufffdhe said. \"You can\ufffdt use military force to kill and idea.\" Mr Younger\ufffdwarned that Isil was already in the process of trying to grow elsewhere around the world, even as its fighters are defeated in Syria, and that the threat from al-Qaeda had not been completely extinguished. He said: \"Daesh [Isil] is a resilient organisation and it is reorganising, returning to its natural state as an asymmetric transnational terrorist organisation. We see it morphing, spreading out. \"Al-Qaeda...has undergone a certain resurgence as a result of the degradation of Daesh and it is a force that should also be taken seriously. It is definitely not done out, and is something we should remain focused on.\" Mr Younger was keen to stress the \"strength and unconditional nature of the UK security offer\"\ufffdand said Brexit would not harm enduring partnerships. \"Britain\ufffds commitment to the security of the European continent is unconditional,\"\ufffdhe said. \"Our aim is to strengthen our security partnerships in Europe, alongside our other intelligence partnerships across the globe, because that is the inescapable logic of a world of increasingly international hybrid threats.\" The ability to \"operationalise\"\ufffdpartnerships with other intelligence organisations was critical in preserving our way of life, he said, and was used to great effect after the nerve-agent attack in Salisbury last year.

        "raw_content": "Another great post from Rand and the Moz crew regarding SEO expectations.\n\u201cWith all the changes we\u2019ve seen in the field of SEO in recent years, we need to think differently about how we pitch our work to others. If we don\u2019t, we run the risk of creating unreal expectations and disappointing our clients and companies. In today\u2019s Whiteboard Friday, Rand explains how to set expectations that will lead to excitement without the subsequent let-down\u2026\u201d\nHowdy, Moz fans, and welcome to another edition of Whiteboard Friday. This week we\u2019re going to chat a little bit about the expectations that SEOs create and sometimes falsely create. It\u2019s not always our fault, but it is always our responsibility to fix the expectations that we create with our teams, our managers, our executives, and, if we\u2019re consultants, with our clients.\nSo here\u2019s the problem. This is a conversation that I see happen a lot of the time. Here\u2019s our friendly SEO guy over here, and he\u2019s telling his client, \u201cHey, if we can rank on page 1 for even 10% of all these terms that I\u2019ve selected, we\u2019re going to drive a 500% increase in leads.\u201d\nHere\u2019s the client over here, and she\u2019s thinking to herself, \u201cThat sounds amazing. 500% increase in leads, that\u2019s going to do wonderful things for my business. So let\u2019s invest in SEO. This is going to be great. We only have to get 10% of these keywords on there. I don\u2019t know anything about SEO, but that sounds totally possible.\u201d Six months later, after all sort of stymieing and challenging problems, here she is going, \u201cYou told me we\u2019d increase our leads by 500%!\u201d\nThere\u2019s the SEO saying, \u201cWell yeah, but we have to get the rankings first, and we haven\u2019t done that yet. I said we\u2019d get the leads once we got the rankings.\u201d\nThis kind of expectation and many others like it are a huge challenge. It is the case that modern SEO takes a lot of time to show results. Modern content marketing works the same way. You\u2019re not going to start producing blog posts or interactive content or big content pieces and 3 months from now go, \u201cWell, we made 50 new content pieces, and thus our traffic has tripled.\u201d\nThat\u2019s not how it works. The problem here is that SEO just doesn\u2019t look like this anymore. It did, kind of, at one point. It really did.\nWe used to engage in an SEO contract. We\u2019d make some changes to the existing pages, do some keyword targeting, some optimization, maybe fix things up that weren\u2019t SEO friendly on the site, get our link structure in order. Great. Do a little bit of link building to the right kinds of pages that we need on our site from the right kind of places. We\u2019d get those rankings. Now we can easily prove the value of the search traffic that\u2019s coming through by looking at the keyword referrals in our analytics report, because keyword traffic is showing.\nThis process has been broken over the last five, six, seven years. But expectations have not caught up to where we are today. Modern SEO nowadays is really like this. You engage in that SEO contract, and then the SEO\u2019s job is to be much more than an SEO, because there are so many factors that influence modern search rankings and modern search algorithms that really a great SEO, in order to have impact, has to go, \u201cAll right, now we\u2019re going to start the audit.\u201d\nThe audit isn\u2019t going to look at which pages do you have on the site and what keywords do you want to match up and which ones do we need to fix, or just link structure or even things like schema. Well, let\u2019s look at the content and the user experience and the branding and the PR, and we\u2019ll check out your accessibility and speed and keyword targeting. We\u2019ll do some competitive analysis, etc. Dozens of things that we\u2019re going to potentially look at because all of them can impact SEO.\nYikes! Then, we\u2019re not done. We\u2019re going to determine which investments that we could possibly make into all of these things, almost all of which probably need some form of fixing. Some are more broken than others. Some we have an actual team that could go and fix them. Some of those teams have bandwidth and don\u2019t. Some of those projects have executives who will approve them or not. We\u2019re going to figure out which ones are possible, which ones are most likely to be done and actually drive ROI. Then we\u2019re going to work across teams and executives and people to get all those different things done, because one human being can\u2019t handle all of them unless we\u2019re talking about a very, very tiny site.\nThen we\u2019re going to need to bolster a wide range of offsite signals, all of the things that we\u2019ve talked about historically on Whiteboard Friday, everything from actual links to things around engagement to social media signals that correlate with those to PR and branding and voice and coverage.\nNow, after months of waiting, if we\u2019ve improved the right things, we\u2019ll start to see creeping up our rankings, and we\u2019ll be able to measure that from the traffic that pages receive. But we won\u2019t be able to say, \u201cWell, specifically this page now ranks higher for this keyword, and that keyword now sends us this amount of traffic,\u201d because keyword not provided is taking away that data, making it very, very hard to see the value of visitors directly from search. That\u2019s very frustrating\nThis is the new SEO process. You might be asking yourself, \u201cGiven these immense challenges, who in the world is even going to invest in SEO anymore?\u201d The answer is, well, people who for the last decade have made a fortune or made a living on SEO, people who are aware of the power that SEO can drive, people who are aware of the fact that search continues to grow massively, that the channel is still hugely valuable, that it drives direct revenue and value in far greater quantity than social media by itself or content marketing by itself without SEO as a channel. The people who are going to invest successfully, though, are those whose expectations are properly set.\nEverybody else is going to get somewhere in here, and they\u2019re going to give up. They\u2019re going to fire their SEO. You know what one of the things that really nags at me is? Ruth Burr mentioned this on Twitter the other day. Ruth said, \u201cWhen your plumber fails to fix your pipes, you don\u2019t assume that plumbing is a dead industry that no one should ever invest in. But when your SEO fails to get you rankings or traffic that you can measure, you assume all SEO is dead and all SEO is bad.\u201d\nThat sucks. That\u2019s a hard reality to live in, but it\u2019s the one that we do live in.\nI do have a solution though, and the solution isn\u2019t just showing how this process works versus how old-school SEO works. It\u2019s to craft a timeline, an expectation timeline.\nWhen you\u2019re signing a contract or when you\u2019re pitching a project, or when you\u2019re talking about, \u201cHey, this is what were going to do for SEO,\u201d try showing a timeline of the expectations. Instead of saying, \u201cIf we can rank on page one,\u201d say, \u201cIf we can complete our audit and fix the things we determine that need to be fixed and prioritize those fixes in the order we think they are, then we can make the right kinds of content investments, and then we can get the amplification and offsite signals that we need starting to appear and grow our engagement. Then we can expect great SEO results.\u201d Each one of these is contingent on the last one.\nSo six months later, your boss, your manger, or your client is going to say, \u201cHey, how did those content investments go?\u201d You can say, \u201cWell look, here\u2019s the content we\u2019ve created, and this is how it\u2019s performing, and this is what we\u2019re going to do to change those performances.\u201d The expectation won\u2019t be, \u201cHey, you promised me great SEO.\u201d The promise was we\u2019re going to make these fixes, which we did, and we\u2019re going to complete that audit, which we did. Now we\u2019re working on these content investments, and here\u2019s how that\u2019s going. Then we\u2019re going to work on this, and then we\u2019re going to work on that.\nThis is a great way to show expectations and to create the right kind of mindset in people who are going to be investing in SEO. It\u2019s also a great way not to get yourself into hot water when you don\u2019t get that 500% increase 3 months or 6 months after you said we\u2019re going to start the SEO process.\nAll right everyone, I\u2019d love to hear from you in the comments. Look forward to chatting it up and having a discussion about modern SEO and old-school SEO and expectations that clients and managers have got.\nWe will see you again, next week, for another edition of Whiteboard Friday. Take care.\nLink To Moz White Board Friday\nExpectations that SEOs create and sometimes falsely create",

I could also be quite the blabbermouth. If I heard it, and I thought it was amusing or worth a story, it was comin\u2019 out. Sometimes, this made my parents very very mad when I mentioned embarrassing things like dogs drinking out of the toilet, or told jokes that weren\u2019t supposed to leave the house. So, my parents should be very thankful they never did anything illegal. I probably would have said something similar to what this kid said. There\u2019s nothing that says \u201cyou\u2019re screwed more than the kid you\u2019re babysitting saying \u201cDiane, you know you were the one who told us don\u2019t tell you were the one who went in through the front window.\u201d Might as well sign the confession right there.\nAnd I\u2019m sure the parents who left their kids in the care of this woman are freaking out right now.

        "raw_content": "Home / Touch\nSince Miss Annie\u2019s passing, the Budster spends his days lying on the floor in the middle of the hall. I have to step over him as I leave and return to the family room and each time I do, I kneel down, lovingly touch him on the side of his face and tell him he\u2019s a good boy. Whenever I pass the Duchess or Mumford, I do the same thing. In the evenings, Hosie climbs onto the sofa at sits between the Missus and I and I lay my hand on him. He really likes that and it\u2019s good for him. We touch our animals because we love them and because it\u2019s important that we do so. A sick animal will heal faster when you touch them. An abused and frightened animal will relax and heal emotionally when you touch them. Your touch shares your love and creates a bond.\nWe touch our spouse, our children and sometimes our very close friends. Other than my wife or a family member, I don\u2019t want people touching me. A waitress has no business touching my arm and if she does, without saying a word, I let her know how I feel about it. My wife calls it, \u201cthe look.\u201d I am not like Howie Mandell who has a germ phobia, I just don\u2019t want people touching me. It\u2019s that simple. Don\u2019t do it.\nTouching is part of any close relationship. Touching shows that we love someone. We share a part of ourselves when we touch. A touch can be healing. It not only reveals but it seals. Before anyone accuses me of getting all mystic on them, consider these scriptures.\nNot only do you give when you touch but you also receive. Make sure it\u2019s what you want.\nDo not lay hands on anyone hastily and so identify with the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.\nOthers benefit when they touch you.\n35 When the people there recognized him, they sent word into all the surrounding area, and they brought all their sick to him. 36 They begged him if they could only touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.\nYou know the difference between a touch and a touch. You can feel it and so can others.\nMark 5:25:34\n25 Now a woman was there who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years. 26 She had endured a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse. 27 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, 28 for she kept saying, \u201cIf only I touch his clothes, I will be healed.\u201d 29 At once the bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 Jesus knew at once that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and said, \u201cWho touched my clothes?\u201d 31 His disciples said to him, \u201cYou see the crowd pressing against you and you say, \u2018Who touched me?\u2019\u201d 32 But he looked around to see who had done it. 33 Then the woman, with fear and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 He said to her, \u201cDaughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your disease.\u201d\nJesus immediately knew when someone touched Him. It was more than a touch. It was a touch and there is a difference. It is one thing to be in a crowd where people bump into you. Don\u2019t bump me. I don\u2019t like it. It is a different thing altogether to be in a crowd or even a small private setting and someone \u201ctouches\u201d you. Do not touch me. Don\u2019t do it unless you have permission.\nChoose carefully with whom you would be intimate and when you have chosen, do not hold back. Help them, heal them, love them with your touch.",

All three of Chandler Staton\u2019s second-half field goals for App State exceeded 40 yards, including a 43-yarder that pushed the lead to 11 points with 2:09 remaining, and the Mountaineers could begin to celebrate when Clifton Duck broke up a fourth-down pass with 1:23 left.\nStudents rushed the field in Kidd Brewer Stadium after senior Zeb Speir, who arrived as a walk-on, took the final snap and embraced classmate Brad Absher.\n\u201cOur guys play for each other, maybe better than anybody in the country,\u201d App State head coach Scott Satterfield said.\nApp State was clinging to a 20-16 lead early in the fourth quarter when linebacker Anthony Flory\u2019s pressure set up Tae Hayes' interception on a deep throw, and Hayes returned the ball 32 yards to the Louisiana 44. Stopped on an earlier fourth-and-short play, the Mountaineers faced fourth-and-inches from the Louisiana 35 when Thomas faked a handoff to Evans and scored his 10th rushing touchdown of the season.\nLouisiana marched 60 yards and, after safety Austin Exford stopped a third-and-goal run from the 3 for a loss of 4 yards, Kyle Pfau made a 24-yard field goal with 6:01 remaining. Holding an eight-point lead, Thomas started the next series by spinning away from pressure and hitting a wide-open back Marcus Williams Jr. in the left flat with a pass that ultimately gained 34 yards.\nWilliams gained 17 yards on three straight carries to put App State in field goal range, and Staton made his longest field goal of the season to cap the series.\nAfter the Ragin' Cajuns kicked a 37-yard field goal to close the game\u2019s opening possession, Evans set up Williams' 1-yard touchdown with his return from the App State 2 to the Louisiana 1.\nEvans' block created a running lane for Thomas on his 25-yard touchdown run that gave App State a 14-6 lead late in the second quarter, and Staton converted a pair of 42-yard field goals in the third quarter.\nStaton\u2019s first kick pushed the lead to 17-6, and Louisiana quarterback Andre Nunez scored on 8-yard run not long after Raymond Calais returned the kickoff 61 yards. A fourth-and-1 stop by Louisiana\u2019s defense at the App State 34 set up another short field, leading to a 23-yard field goal that cut the Mountaineers' lead to 17-16, and Staton ended the third quarter with a field goal.\nApp State, which has posted double-digit wins for the third time in five FBS seasons, will face a team from Conference USA on Dec. 15 in New Orleans.",

If you have any questions about our programs, please feel free to contact us.\nThe New Cool is a media campaign designed to reach students and parents in schools and in the communities throughout Wood County. The message is simple and clear: There are many activities that you can do that do not involve alcohol. What's your cool?\nTeen Institute/Junior Teen Institute\nTeen Institute groups exist to train, mobilize and empower youth to prevent the illegal use of alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and other possible self-destructive behaviors in themselves and their peers. Throughout the year, we offer several events and activities for our Teen Institute members to learn and practice leadership roles.\nB.A.B.E.S.\n(Beginning Alcohol Basic Education Studies)\nBABES is a primary prevention program designed to help children in kindergarten through second grade develop positive life skills. The program uses several puppets to introduce factual, non-judgmental information about alcohol, drugs, decision-making and coping skills.\nClass Action looks at social and legal consequences involving teens and alcohol. Teens prepare and present hypothetical civil cases in which someone has been harmed as the result of underage drinking. Topics include drinking and driving, fetal alcohol syndrome, drinking and violence, date rape, drinking and vandalism, and school alcohol policies. For grades 9-12. Read the SAMHSA report about this program.\nExpect Respect is a comprehensive prevention program designed to raise awareness of dating violence, teach skills for healthy relationships, develop youth leadership, and increase safety and respect on school campuses. A follow-up Expect Respect Support Group is offered after the class is completed, allowing girls to meet with other girls and boys to meet with other boys to share their experiences and support each other related to violence at home or in dating relationships.\nFASTRAC (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Education)\nFASTRAC is an education program offered to junior high and high school students to increase their knowledge of the risks and effects of alcohol consumption on a fetus during pregnancy\nHooked on Fishing, Not On Drugs\n\"Hooked On Fishing, Not On Drugs\" is a registered program of the Future Fisherman Foundation, which was started after a young man wrote a letter about how fishing had kept him from becoming involved with drugs. Research has shown that family recreational activities are a key protective factor for our youth. Youth in Wood County have been involved in the \"Hooked On Fishing, Not On Drugs\" program for many years. Youth receive in-class training as well as real life experience of going on a fishing outing with peers and family members that can attend.\nInsight is a program for teens that are in some kind of trouble because of alcohol, marijuana or other drug use. Through interactive group meetings, teens look at their drug use, consider the consequences of their use, and make a decision about continued use. Participants learn how mood-altering substances affect their mental and physical health and the social consequences of their drug use. For grades 6-12.\nJuvenile Detention Center lessons\nWe offer juvenile detention center programming covering the following 12 topics: Self-Concept; Values vs. Consequences of Risky Behaviors; Personal Harm Connected with Alcohol Use; Decision Making and Problem Solving; Communication and Assertiveness Skills; Personal Harm Connected with Binge Drinking; Anger Management and Conflict Resolution; Stress Management; Personal Harm Connected with Marijuana Use; Personal Responsibility; Goal Setting and Future Planning; Understanding Alcoholism and Drug Dependence; Stereotypes and Prejudice; and Cultural Diversity and Tolerance.

PAX is not a classroom management program, but it makes managing classrooms a breeze. PAX GBG is the combined science from PeaceBuilders, Good Behavior Game & other studies.\nProblem ID and Referral\nStudents who are believed to struggle with alcohol, tobacco and other drug issues, and/or social-emotional issues can be referred to the district\u2019s Prevention Specialist. That specialist sits down with the student, and through a process, identifies surface and underlying issues and works with school officials and family members to create a treatment plan, ranging from in-school one-on-one education and intervention sessions with the Prevention Specialist to in-house treatment at an addition treatment facility, and/or meetings with a psychologist to deal with further issues.\nThe Red Ribbon Campaign is a national campaign. During Red Ribbon Week, students wear their red badges proudly and have the courage to say no to drugs.\nTeen Intervene is an evidence-based program for teens suspected of experiencing mild to moderate problems associated with drug or alocohol abuse.

        "raw_content": "Turning Torso Residential Tower, Malm\u00f6, Sweden\nTurning Torso is a high-rise building in Malm\u00f6, consisting of nine cubes twisting towards the waterfront. Turning Torso houses top-quality apartments, offices and conference rooms and, at the time of completion (27 August 2005), is the second tallest residential tower in Europe after the 264m-high Triumph-Palace in Moscow andthe tallest building in Scandinavia.\nThe Torso has been selected by the City of Malm\u00f6 Government as a landmark for the new development, though it also meets the requirement for dense habitation. Local authorities organised an exhibition to choose a high-rise building for this purpose and invited the local housing cooperative, HSB, to participate.\n\u201cOnly well-known architects were supposed to participate in the exhibition,\u201d explains HSB project director Ingvar Nohlin, \u201cand that\u2019s why Santiago Calatrava was approached. He had participated in the Oresund Link competition but was not selected.\u201c\nIn fact, this 190m (623ft) tower is based on a sculpture by the Zurich-based architect. Sharing the name of its much larger brother, Turning Torso depicts a human body contorting around its spine in an upward movement. Calatrava included a photograph of the work as part of his Oresund submission, where it was spotted by HSB\u2019s former managing director, Johnny Orback, who convinced Calatrava to design a building based on this concept.\nSweden has perhaps the most far-reaching environmental legislation in Europe, along with a comprehensive welfare system, so it is no surprise that central services are a high priority. Indeed, Western Harbour is being promoted as a global leader in urban sustainability. For heating, Torso connects to power utility Sydkraft\u2019s system, which uses 100% locally renewable energy. This is obtained from a variety of sources, including solar power, wind, bedrock and water.\nTorso plays its part, with organic waste from the building ground down in kitchen waste disposal units, then transported though separate pipes for decomposition and biogas production at Malm\u00f6\u2019s waste incinerator and heat plant. In addition, Torso residents will be given training in such systems via a local TV system.\nAs for safety, all security systems have independent reserve power supplies, including lifts, sprinklers and emergency lighting. There is also a double water supply system, again with its own power supply.\nMMA Architects recently completed a home built out of timber and sandbags \u2013 and became the winner of the Curry Stone Foundation Prize this year. This sandbag house was built for a mere $6,000, making it affordable for low-income housing.",

        "raw_content": "Oh my god, I'm so relieved. This week, I've actually been feeling creative and calm-ish instead of harried and half-crazed. Shef was just here (in my studio!) a minute ago to give me a hug and tell me he wants to be a writer himself. I mean, really.\nGuess what I was doing when that sweet thing happened?\nI was writing a scene about Alice as an adult that might serve as a frame for the first #NovelSnip project. Mostly, though, I've been working on another, lighter, breezier, and so-far easier project, which is a novel set in large suburban public high school. The best news is that I'm taking an online novel-writing class to help me. So far, it's tops. For the reading this week, my teacher, Mary Carroll Moore, assigned a chapter of her own book. In the excerpt, she discusses making space in your life to engage with your writing. My friend Emily calls this \"White Space.\" She recently quit one of her jobs in order to open up some of that to figure out what she wants to do next. It's smart, and, as a bonus, I also get to make fun of her for saying \"White Space.\" That's #greatfriendship.\nHere are a couple of gems from Moore's work that resonated:\n\"If I have too much going on in my outer life, there's no internal space to dream.\" This seems obvious, right? But, sometimes I just take on more things without truly considering my priorities as a writer. If I really want to finish my books, I have to stop that.\nOn priorities, then: \"If writing is a priority in your life, if you are truly committed to writing your book, you need to find enough inner stillness to capture original ideas.\"\nA final thing I'm thinking about this week is Aaron Sorkin's theory on protagonists. I was listening to The West Wing Weekly podcast that had a recording of a panel he was on. He said that in The West Wing he had eight protagonists, and that protagonists are never victims. I don't have anything to say about that right now. I'm just chewing on it.\nLabels: aaron sorkin, mary carroll moore, novels, writing\nAaron Sorkin is amazing.\nI just listened to that on my way home! Protagonists can't be passive -- yes, I'm still thinking about that one, too...\nLimiting the outer life is what I'm about this summer.\nI too am now thinking about protagonists.",

It was her first time watching it as well as her first Disney movie too. This was one of my favorite movies when I was younger and I was excited at the opportunity to share the magic of the movie with Scarlett.\nIt's been 26 years since the original Disney classic Beauty and The Beast arrived in theaters and captured our hearts.\nA new generation of fans will be able to enjoy the film thanks to the modern day remake of the movie. In the 2017 version, Belle (played by Emma Watson) is a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast (Dan Stevens) in its castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle's enchanted staff and learns to loo beyond the beast's hideous exterior. This allows her to recognize the kind heart and soul of the true princes that hides on the inside.\nIt's a completely different experience to watch the movie when you're an adult versus when you're a child. Although this remake is a bit darker and geared towards an older audience, I think it was a smart move to make the new version since it can attract a whole new generation of fans.\nEveryone has gotten a makeover and while the same characters exist, they look very different. The colors of the movie are dark and muted and this version is not animated. You'll still be delighted by the classic story and songs. This is surely a film the entire family can enjoy. Gather everyone around the TV with snacks and drinks for a movie night you won't soon forget.\n*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Click Communications for providing a product sample in order to facilitate this post. All thoughts are strictly my own.\nMiami Beach Chocolates Are Exactly What You Need\nHi, my name is Sammi and I'm a chocoholic. Yes, alert the press because it's absolutely true! I love chocolate and can't get enough of it. Give me a piece of smooth and creamy chocolate with a nutty or coconut filling and I'll love you forever.

It was so glorious and definitely a chocolate masterpiece.\nIt should be against the law for these chocolates to be this beautiful. Each one has a different look and personality, but in the end they all offer you a big, bold taste. The boxes contained barks, darks, chocolate dipped fruit, truffles, and many other things. Of course I haven't tried all of them because there's so many, but I have sunk my teeth into quite a few selections.

No, I am not pregnant currently, but we would like to expand our family soon. I'm taking the time to write this post to connect with other parents who have more than one child to see what the beginning was like for them.\nI have three friends who have two children and a fourth who is having her second child soon. I've been asking them questions and looking for advice on how their lives and children's lives changed once the second child arrived. I'm an only child and knew that I always wanted to give my child a sibling.\nEverything is so easy for me now in terms of taking care of Scarlett. I have a set schedule for her for sleeping and eating along with bath time. I'm very lucky that she's slept through the night since 6 months old, she takes a nap daily for 2-3 hours, and is a relatively good eater. When you bring a second child into the mix, everything changes. What if this child doesn't sleep and screams all night? Not only will Scarlett be up, but my husband and I too. I think the fear of the unknown is difficult for me because I like to have everything planned out. I know that this next baby is not necessarily going to be as easy as Scarlett is and that's something I'll have to handle.\nAs any parent would be, I am excited at the thought of a second child, but have some fears and concerns especially balancing everything with a new baby. This is totally normal in my opinion. Some of my thoughts are how do I make sure both children feel equally loved? My friends say it takes so long to get both kids ready and out the door and they are always late. I'm an early arrival person and can't imagine being late to things. How do I make sure I spend equal time and attention with both children especially with a newborn who demands attention? Scarlett loves babies but how will she feel about a sibling who is permanently in her home? I hope she will not be jealous.\nIt's just been me and Scarlett for 2 1/2 years now and it will be an adjustment for all of us. I know it will be exciting and a new journey in our lives too. When the time comes I will try to prepare Scarlett for the new baby as much as possible!\nAll Tummies Love Haagen Dazs Ice Cream\nHaagen Dazs is an ice cream brand which offers the finest ingredients and flavors available. If you haven't indulged in a treat from this brand previously, you need to do so! When I crave ice cream, I usually want Haagen Dazs because the rich and creamy ice cream is always packed with wonderful add-in's like cookie dough or peanut butter swirls. Haagen Dazs offers a wide range of flavor options for their gelato, sorbet, ice cream bars, ice cream, and frozen yogurt. How does chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream or limoncello gelato sound? If you're looking for frozen yogurt, maybe vanilla raspberry swirl is more up your alley? Don't forget about salted caramel ice cream bars too! This is only the start of what wonderful flavors Haagen Dazs offers. If you're looking for a sweet treat to satisfy that sweet tooth, why not turn to Haagen Dazs?\nCan you imagine anything more delicious than these two flavors? I think not. It's important to eat ice cream on only days that end in Y.\nI tried the ice cream bar first. You cannot go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter together in one dessert. It's such a classic flavor that always satisfies. The ice cream bar is small for the amount of calories it packs, but it is a treat after all. From the moment you see the sweet treat, it's visually pleasing. The outer chocolate shell has a generous amount of nuts dotted all over. When you take a bite, the crunch from the nuts along with the sweet chocolate shell and the creamy vanilla ice cream is fantastic. I started to discover the ribbons of peanut butter that were hidden inside soon after taking another bite. This treat was sweet but not overly sweet where you felt like you couldn't finish it. I absolutely loved it and finished it very fast. I'm controlling myself from having another.\nI've been a fan of cookie dough ice cream from an early age. It's very hard for me not to sneak a taste of the cookie dough when I'm making cookies. This ice cream was simply fabulous. It's vanilla ice cream with large chunks of cookie dough pieces packed into it. If you're wondering what heaven on earth is like, it definitely begins in this ice cream container. The vanilla ice cream was sweet and rich and full of fantastic flavor. The cookie dough pieces were large and made my stomach and taste buds smile.\nMini Chocolate Chip Banana Loaves Will Make You Say Yum!\nPreheat oven to 325F, and grease your mini loaf pan. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Stir bananas, milk, and cinnamon in another bowl. Beat butter and sugar in a third bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs to butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir banana mixture into butter mixture, and then stir in dry mixture until blended. Fold in chocolate chips until just combined. Pour into mini loaf pan.\nStay Healthy Thanks to Myrtol 300\nI'm very lucky that both my husband and daughter and I very rarely get sick. Scarlett goes to preschool and is constantly around children and germs, but I'm fortunate that the sicknesses seem to bypass both her and I. Did you know that cold and flu season can last for months and even into May? On average, Americans have cold and/or flu symptoms at least five times in a typical year. Make sure you take care of yourself to stay as healthy as possible.\nMyrtol 300 is a natural supplement to use when treating colds. If you want to get rid of that pesky cold naturally instead of with over-the-counter medicine, this is a wonderful and safe choice for you. This supplement uses a proprietary blend of essential oils like eucalyptus and sweet orange to help soothe coughs and support a healthy respiratory system. The product has recently been launched in the US, but has been used for over 40 years in Germany and 23 other countries. With 68% of Americans saying they prefer to take natural supplements rather than synthetic drugs, it only makes sense that Myrtol 300 is the product for them.\nThere's nothing more frustrating than being sick and feeling miserable. Since I'm a stay-at-home-mom, I don't get sick days. I have to take care of Scarlett whether I'm feeling well or not. I can only recall one time in 2 1/2 years where my husband had to come home from work early to help me, because I was really feeling bad. You'll be pleased to know that Myrtol 300 provides lung and sinus support to help break down mucus to alleviate sinus congestion so you can breathe better.\nWhen you take this supplement it starts working within hours and most people are symptom free within 3 days! My colds usually last about a week and I feel awful and spend a lot of time in bed. I definitely need to remember to take Myrtol 300 at the first hint of a cold or sore throat in the future. It's time to kick those germs and colds to the curb and feel better quicker.\nKeep this miracle product with you when you travel or with you at all times. It's compact enough to fit in a medicine cabinet as well as a purse or backpack. It'll be your new best friend and you'll wonder how you ever lived life without it.\n*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Myrtol 300 for sponsoring this post.

They need to feel close to their parents in order to properly thrive, grow, and develop. Make sure that you interact with your child and hold them tight as much as possible so they feel loved. Sometimes babies need a little more than you can realistically provide, and that's when HALO steps in.\nHALO offers wearable blankets that replaces loose blankets in the crib that can cover your baby's face and interfere with breathing. For young babies, HALO offers the only 2-in-1 adjustable swaddle that allows for swaddling arms in and out for baby's comfort. The wearable zippable blankets come in patterns and colors for both boys and girls in a variety of sizes. You can choose from materials such as micro fleece, 100% cotton, 100% cotton muslin, 100% organic cotton, and plushy dot velboa. Besides just sleepsack swaddles, HALO offers SleepSacks, SleepSack gifts, comfortluxe sleepwear, and much more. If you're going to a baby shower anytime soon, any item from HALO makes the perfect gift.\nSince Scarlett's been born we've been using HALO products. We started off with SleepSack Swaddle and then at 3 months old we transitioned into SleepSack. Depending on the season, Scarlett goes to bed every night with either a cotton or a fleece SleepSack They keep her secure and comfortable and I don't have to worry about the hazards of a loose blanket in her crib. Since she's small, the sleep sacks fit her longer than normal. That's a win-win for mom and baby! You can't beat the pretty colors and patterns that sleepsacks are offered in either.\nIf you're looking for an adorable SleepSack Swaddle for your new baby, I'd love to recommend the 100% Cotton Muslin Sleepsack Swaddle in the Grey Tree Leaf print. This is a gender neutral print that goes for both boys and girls, making it an ideal choice. When Scarlett was an infant, she was very fond of her swaddles and loved her arms wrapped as tight as possible. I know I'll continue using HALO products when I have my next child too.\nIn addition to helping your baby sleep safer, it helps them sleep better too. The adjustable swaddle wrap immobilizes your baby's arms to prevent the \"moro\" or startle reflex. You'll be pleased to know it's the only 3-way adjustable swaddle that adjusts to your baby's sleep style. Feel free to swaddle arms in, hands-to face, one or both arms out to ensure baby's best sleep and an easy and gentle transition to the sleepsack when it's time to stop swaddling.\nI'm a big fan of these swaddles because unlike regular swaddle blankets, they don't easily come undone. Thanks to HALO's wonderful velcro closure, your baby will always be safe and secure no matter what.\nKeep HALO in mind for all of your SleepSack Swaddle needs both present and future. You'll become a loyal customer instantly.\n*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to HALO for providing a product sample in order to facilitate this post.

Phenocal Might Be Your Solution\nRegular physical exercise and a diet that includes food rich in all essential nutrients are an excellent way of keeping yourself fit and healthy, as well as feeling (and looking) good. When you have excess weight, however, such a simple lifestyle might not be the best approach to losing those extra pounds. For this reason, a calorie restricted diet is often preferred, but many people still fail to maintain such a diet or to achieve appropriate results while following such a diet. There are also many best diet pills that can be taken to help people maintain a lower calorie diet, but these supplements often fail to provide results that can be considered appropriate. Phenocal, however, is one weight loss supplement that is becoming increasingly popular among people who are overweight. In this post, we will take a look at how Phenocal can help you avoid picking up more weight and help you reduce your present body weight.\nHow Phenocal Helps You Stop Weight Gain\nBeing overweight is dangerous to your overall health and the more weight you gain, the more dangers you will have to face.NIH reports that around 68.8% of Americans are already overweight. Livestrong says that at least 50% of all women in the United States are on a diet, but little of them achieve any significant results and a lot of dieters pick up more weight after they stop dieting. Preventing further weight gain is a major step if you wish to lose weight and reach a better level of health, but it is often difficult when you frequently experience cravings, and you cannot control your portions during meals.\nPhenocal has been formulated to help people overcome these problems. The formula contains Chromium Picolinate, which keep blood sugar levels intact during the day. When blood sugar levels are not spiking and diving throughout the day, it also means the user will be less likely to crave carbohydrate-rich foods. The formula also contains Glucomannan, which expands in the stomach and causes the user to eat less food when they are having a meal. Cocoa extract and Hoodia Gordonii further helps to reduce the user\u2019s appetite so they can better control the amount of food they consume during the different meals they have during the day, and also helps the user avoid those cravings for unhealthy snacks.\nHow Phenocal Helps You Lose Weight\nPhenocal does not only suppress the user\u2019s appetite and prevent further weight gain but also includes a formula that utilizes a unique method known as thermokinetic. This technology has been developed to increase the results a person gets when they exercise. While you already burn calories while you participate in physical activities, the ingredients used in the thermokinetic blend in Phenocal helps to increase the temperature that your body reaches internally during exercise. When the temperature rises, you will burn a significantly larger amount of calories while you are exercising. The product also contains Cocoa extract to help improve the way your body breaks down carbs and fat, as well as Folic Acid to allow stubborn fat to be burnt.\nHow Safe Is Phenocal?\nOne concern that people often have when they buy weight loss supplements is the safety of the product. Since the pharmaceutical options can lead to some unwanted side-effects, people often wonder whether the same side-effects would occur when the use a natural supplement for weight loss. Fortunately, Phenocal\u2019s ingredients have been tested through numerous scientific studies, and it was confirmed that the ingredients found in the formula are safe to use and do not yield any side-effects that could be harmful to the user\u2019s health. Phenocal also does not include any chemicals that are found in pharmaceutical products. The entire formula has been developed with a carefully selected blend of vitamins and botanical extracts. Phenocal Reviews all over the internet are very positive, which shows how efficient and safe this product is!\nEven though all of the ingredients have been deemed as safe, it is still important for any potential user to consult the parts of the product and to determine if they are allergic to an of these components. Should a user be allergic to an ingredient, they may experience an allergic reaction when taking the supplements. If the user is not aware of an actual allergy and a reaction occurs, it can be treated with a dose of antihistamines.\nTo lose weight, a regular diet often does not work. Restricting your daily calorie intake and doing more physical exercises is often recommended, but sticking to such a program can be tough. Phenocal, however, offers people who are overweight an effective solution that reduces hunger and helps the user lose weight faster. The supplement is also equipped with natural compounds that can help the user avoid picking up any more weight.\nVideo: Phenocal - #1 Rated Weight Loss Product\nCelebrate Dad This Father's Day In a Thoughtful Way\nFor many years, the only dad that I've celebrated on Father's Day was my own.

The bond between a father and daughter is unbreakable. It makes me happy that Scarlett loves her dad and is so close to him. I hope that she will always be close to him as she grows up.\nThis book would be a great gift option to give Pops this Father's Day along with a gift card and his favorite meal. It would be a Father's Day he won't soon forget!\n*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Papyrus for providing a product sample in order to facilitate this post.

In many cases, it was our mother and father, grandma or grandfather who made the best recipes and the tastiest meals. There's a good reason for that. In most cases, we are very connected to our families, and we grew up eating family meals together at the table - and how lucky were we for that? Food - right up until now, was always about sustenance and community. You cooked for your family, and you enjoyed a great meal together. Our ancestors tackled great beasts and shared in their meat together - then they learned to grow food and shared it together - then they went out to the market and bought it to bring home, and shared it. Food? It's always been about getting it and sharing it. Unless you're Joey from Friends of course! Some of us don't like sharing, but even then it is all about eating in the company of others. A lot of modern households owe their development to the family meal.\nWe\u2019re losing it though. Society is so focused on the now that we almost never have the time to sit back and enjoy our food, let alone cook it. We want our six-inch sub of the day right now, we want our fries and coke now, we want to eat it fast and get on with our lives. On the occasion, it\u2019s all well and good, but have you ever been walking to work with a sandwich hanging out your mouth only to think that the situation isn\u2019t right? Food is meant to be enjoyed, not rammed down the throat as quick as possible. There is beauty and joy to be found in cooking. Always.\nSome of us are fighting back against the 'bad food revolution' by doing a simple thing. Finding the time to cook. Yes! It's possible, even in this day and age! Shopping Kim will help show you how, but you can always carve open a slot for cooking, so you carve open a chicken and potato meal for the family! Once you\u2019ve found the time to cook, you can find the beauty in cooking. You are not just roasting something, you are creating a meal and thus a moment for the family - what could be more beautiful than that? Not much I\u2019d venture. Beauty can certainly be found in fleeting moments, but it needs time to be cultivated on every other occasion - by finding the time to cook, you are finding the time to cultivate that little bit of beauty.\nCooking isn't just beautiful because of the meaning behind it or what it creates for your family, but because of the fact that you get to be hands-on with food! Food is beautiful and one of the best things you can get to grips with. From the bright colors of peppers and fruits, to the smells of spices and oils, to the tenderness of meat - food has it all. Cooking is the chemical craft of combining these ingredients into a meal. You can sear and sizzle with oil, bake with sheets and trays, season with salt and spice - what you do is up to you, be you artist or scientist in the kitchen - or a little bit of both. Cooking is only ever going to be limited by your imagination and creativity. The true beauty of food comes out in your cooking and your ideas.\nThere's no reason why you shouldn't involve the kids in it either. Let them discover the beauty of cooking from peeling carrots to sizzling steak (with supervision from yourself). Teaching them the basics of cooking and a number of techniques (that you might have to teach yourself!) can set them up well for later life. Learning to cook from a young age is invaluable and such a great skill. Of course, you need to supervise the actions of the young chefs due to sharp knives and hot pots - but with careful cultivation, you can have a happy and talented kitchen. Not many people learn to cook, so give your kids the gift of cooking and find the beauty in that.\nNow? We come full circle. Once you discover the beauty in cooking you can give the kids the memories that you once had - or if you didn't get to enjoy home-cooked grub, you could change that. It might be in twenty years time that your kids look back fondly on the meals you created for them! There is so much beauty in cooking - so find it.\nTop Tips For Encouraging Your Child To Lead A Healthy Lifestyle\nAs parents, ensuring our children are happy and healthy as the develop into adulthood is the reason we exist. It\u2019s what keeps us up at night, and the reason we get up in the morning. And while society seems convinced that fast-food and computer games are the way to go, many of us parents are looking at the frightening childhood obesity statistic and refusing to allow that to be the fate of our little ones. When television advertisements and social pressure make fast food and a sedentary lifestyle seem like the coolest way to be, us parents are fighting the hard battle - the battle for health and fitness. Educating our kids about the importance of exercise and a balanced diet, and trying to encourage them to feel enthusiasm about both can be tiring. Here are a few key ways to get disinterested kids enthused about their own health and fitness.\nExercise doesn\u2019t always have to look like exercise. It can look like a long walk in the woods with the dogs, a swim in the ocean, or climbing a tree. Encouraging your children to spend time out of doors is the best way to encourage them to prioritize fitness. Sitting in front of a television or a computer all day, every day, just isn\u2019t good for them, physically or mentally. If you require more structure, why not make a family promise that you will all spend at least thirty minutes a day outside, whatever the weather? A family dog is a great way to reinforce this (the pup isn\u2019t going to let you forget to take them on their walkies after all) but if you don\u2019t want the responsibility or another mouth the feed, then find some activities you enjoy together as a family, and go for it. Even if it\u2019s half an hour in the park, swinging on the monkey bars or on the swings.\nOne very good reason to encourage your child to spend time outdoors is that they\u2019re more likely to grow up to be the sort of adult who enjoys spending time outdoors. This is giving them the best opportunities in life, and great habits that will stick with them.\nWhether consciously or subconsciously, your children follow your lead. That means, if you sit on your bum in front of the television, playing on your smartphone, your kids will do exactly the same thing. If, instead, you get up early, go for a jog, make breakfast, and spend some time in the yard, your kids will grow up thinking this is normal. When you lead by example, you guarantee good habits for your children. Now, this doesn\u2019t necessarily sound fun, but when your child first suggests cycling alongside you when you\u2019re out for your jog, you know you\u2019ve made a success of it. Your kids idolize you, so make the most of that and give them some good habits to start on young.\nHowever big your back yard, it\u2019s the perfect space for getting your kids outside and burning off energy, without the need for constant supervision. And it doesn\u2019t have to be expensive for you to kit the yard out for energetic playtime. Skipping ropes and hula hoops are practically free, require very little space, and will keep your kids exercising for hours. Even a trampoline, such as a rebounder, is perfect for encouraging them to exercise, without them even knowing it. If you engage with these activities as their parents, encouraging them to make games using the equipment, sing songs as they skip or hula hoop, or learn some fun tricks on the trampoline, then they start to build the association between outdoors, exercise, and fun, which they can take with them into adulthood.\nHealthy eating is an essential skill for kids to take with them into adulthood, if they\u2019re going to grow up healthy. These skills can\u2019t be learned at school - they\u2019re your responsibility to teach. So when you cook a meal, encourage them to join you. It\u2019s a great time to talk about healthy, balanced diets, but it also teaches them the skills they\u2019ll need when they grow up. These skills include meal preparation, understanding flavors, but also understanding how different components of a healthy diet are important for the body\u2019s overall health.\nIf you find that your kids are a bit fussy when it comes to healthy eating, a great trick for getting them to branch out is to get them involved with the whole process. That means, if you have the time and space, starting your own little vegetable plot in the backyard or in a community plot can really help your kids to gain an appreciation for more healthy food. It doesn\u2019t have to be a huge operation, just a few vegetables and fruits that you can plant and tend together, and ultimately harvest, cook, and eat. Teaching your little ones about this connection between earth and their meals will help them to gain a greater understanding of the food they eat but, most of all, it\u2019s great fun!\nEnroll them in fun sports clubs\nExercise comes in many forms, but it\u2019s not just good for their physical health, it\u2019s also good for them mentally too. Getting out and socializing in a competitive setting can help to teach children a lot about interpersonal relationships as they grow up, and they stay healthy as a bonus. Some children are very shy when it comes to joining sports teams, and it\u2019s essential that you listen to their concerns and try to work these things out together - otherwise they may just grow up resenting the sport entirely. Ask them which sports they\u2019re interested in, and encourage them to talk about their experiences after each session.\nWhen kids want to sit on the couch and watch television instead of going outside to play, it\u2019s time to get imaginative. Studies show that children who partake in sports are far more likely to grow up into healthy adults. If that isn\u2019t proof that starting them young will have a positive, long-term impact, I don\u2019t know what is.\nRaising Well-Rounded Kids: Do It Your Way!\nAsk any parent in the world what they want for their children and almost every single person will tell you the same thing: happiness. But the road to ensuring a happy and well-rounded future for your kids often seems complicated. There are hundreds - if not thousands - of books on raising children, and a lot of the advice out there can be contrary to what you read somewhere else. The truth is that there are no guarantees that one method of bringing up children is any better than another.\nThere are, however, a few things you can do that are backed up by a lot or scientific research. So, if you are having concerns about the happiness of your children or are worried whether or not you are doing the right things, read on. We\u2019re going to take a look at some of the facts surrounding the art of raising happy children - so let\u2019s get started right away.\nWant happy children? Then be happy yourself - it\u2019s that simple. A lot of parents have guilt complexes that stop them from indulging in themselves, but the research suggests that a little bit of selfishness on your part can have a positive impact on your little ones. For example, research suggests there is a link between mothers who suffer from depression and worry about adverse outcomes often have children who go on to have behavioral problems. So, consider that the next time you feel guilty about treating yourself every once in awhile, or even just going out for dinner with your partner.\nPick what you need, don\u2019t follow the rules\nThere are no definite rules about parenting - every child is different, as is every parent. The answers to your problems are not in a single book or will come from a single source of inspiration. What works as parenting norms for some will be an entirely different experience for others, and it\u2019s vital to make your own way in parenting life. Read as many books as you can, but adapt the ideas behind them to work for your situation. Pick and choose your advice and don\u2019t try and enforce the rules laid out by any one source - you will end up having a better impact on your kids.\nWork hard, not perfectly\nThere is no such thing as the perfect parent. Despite what you might see on TV, or read on blogs and magazines, the \u2018supermom\u2019 is a fiction and an impossible aspiration. In fact, if you demand perfection from yourself, there is every chance you will end up demanding it from your kids, too, which will ultimately lead to serious issues later on in their life. So, work hard at being a parent, but give yourself a break when it comes to perfection. And do the same for your kids, too - don\u2019t celebrate natural ability and put hard work at the top of the priority list.\nUltimately, life for your kids will be defined by the relationships they are able to develop with others. Personal, professional, and social lives are all going to be better for kids if they know how to communicate, be compassionate, and kind. As a parent, it\u2019s your job to teach your children about building relationships, and watching the way you act with others is the primary way they will learn.\nWhen you are a busy parent, it can be all too easy to develop pessimistic tendencies. But you should be careful about displaying these feelings to your kids - they will pick on them. Research shows that positive people are almost always happier than those who feel worried or unhappy about life. Optimism will help your kids do better at school, live a longer, healthier life, and be more robust against mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.\nFinally, be aware that kids who have higher levels of self-discipline often go on to have happier lives. If you can teach your children the art of delaying gratification, it can go a long way towards creating a better future for them. Again, self-discipline is something that you teach your children subconsciously - if you can\u2019t wait to get stuck into the cream cakes you have just bought, the chances are that they will follow your lead.\nOK, so there you have it - some scientifically backed ideas to help you raise happy kids. Need the great thing about each of these points is that you can adapt them to however you need, and you can do it your way. Good luck!",

Situated east of Flagstaff, Arizona the crater is a massive 1.2km across and 175m deep and is thought to have been formed around 50,000 years ago by the impact of a 50m diameter iron-based meteorite.\nThe crater site has a visitor centre atop the rim of the crater which contains a museum with information about the Barringer crater and meteorites in general but the show-stealer is of course the crater itself. There are several observational facilities provided including viewing platforms extending out over the edge of the crater and telescopes allowing a closer look at features of interest across the crater. Entry to the crater site also includes a guided 'rim walk' along a section of the crater's edge. Unfortunately it is not possible to enter the meteor crater and walk along its floor but the sheer scale of the Barringer crater is an amazing glimpse at the awesome power of meteors and something not to be missed.\nAnd for those astronomers staying in the local area the desert of Arizona, with an average 350 cloudless days a year, is an excellent place for stargazing too.\nThe ground near the top of the volcano is brightly coloured due to the effects of the hot gasses that once spewed from the mout\u2026\nWorld renowned for inner guidance and wildly romantic, Mii Amo is set amid the stunning surroundings of the red rocks of Boynto\u2026\nSacred Kachina peak and the Red Rocks of Sedona\nSituated in northern Arizona at an elevation of 4500 feet, the famous Red Rocks of Sedona are one of the most beautiful natural\u2026",

Thanks for sharing that conversation!\nI think the very hardest thing as a Christian is to watch people we love and care about choose otherwise... and to allow them the freedom to do so, while we gently live our own truth. I appreciate your example!\nThank you so very much Ramona. You always know what to say to brighten my day. You're a Babe! You and I need to get together and go shoe shopping one of these days! hahaha I hope God agrees with you. I hope I planted a seed, and I pray that Jesus will let it grow to be a big deeply rooted tree that will produce much fruit for Him! HUGS!!!\nHey Carley, these conversations are never wasted. Something for your friend to ruminate and something for you to learn from. I read a great book called \"Questioning Evangelism\" by Randy Newman. It was a really helpful tool to have these types of conversations with non-believing friends. You should check it out!\n*Loreli*\nI hope that I get better at it, and I hope that I planted a seed inside him somewhere. Thanks for the book referral. I'll check that out. HUGS.\nLYNMEINDERS March 29, 2012\nI think we limit ourselves because the majority of us don't have the capacity to see a much bigger picture and don't believe that it is for us here and now so we limit ourselves,,,We also tend to self sabotage what we do achieve.....\nPeople I think are often fearful. I've had a number of people say to me when the subject comes up that they feel God could never love them because they've sinned too much. So many feel they've crossed the line.... something I am familiar with myself. But God love us and has forgiven us. It's so big that people aren't capable of understanding something that big. Thanks for the feedback! Blessings!\nBLUESTAR5 March 29, 2012\nThe reason people willingly settle for less is because of fear. People have the desire, they want something more but they are either too afraid to step outside of the box to get it or they fear the truth. It depends on the situation. I read your blog and the disagreement you were having with your friend. I personally believe that it's true that you have to accept Jesus into your heart to be forgiven for your sins. Forgiveness is not just an automatic thing. Someone has to be truly remorseful and they have to honestly want to work towards change. Think about it, if someone does something wrong to you, you are not just going to forgive them automatically and let it go. If everyone was given automatic forgiveness, there would be no justice in the world. That idea governs that people can just go around in the world and do as they please. The idea of automatic forgiveness doesn't make sense because then God would not want us have has us FEAR him. There would be no need to have fear. There is a reason we are suppose to fear god but our love for God conquers our fear of God.\nI really I hope that made sense. :)\nAlso, while it's awesome that you want to share your knowlege about God, remember that everyone has different beliefs and it's important to respect their beliefs even if they differ from yours. Only God can judge and as long as you feel strongly about your beliefs and live by them than that's all that matters. :)\nIt is unfortunate how much fear guides us sometimes. More than any of us realize. I think it's probably one of the biggest struggles of the human race. God wants us to fear Him, but it is not an 'afraid of Him' kind of fear. The bible makes it clear that it is a high respect kind of fear. God forgives us always... but the condition is that we just have to accept the gift. And that can only be done through accepting Jesus. The condition is also that we are to allow Him to change our hearts to become like the heart of Jesus and to change our lives to follow Him. The bible makes that abundantly clear. It's the point of God's message. I don't forget that everyone has their own beliefs. I don't judge anyone for their beliefs or anything else (Otherwise, God will judge me in the same way with the same strength; and the bible tells us so). In the same way, I always try to forgive for everything (even my abusers); and I've gone through much therapy and bible study to learn TRUE forgiveness (Otherwise, as the bible says we don't get forgiven). I'm just not willing, for myself and my own beliefs, to restrict myself to human limitations. God wants more than that for me because He loves me that much. I only want to know the ultimate truth. And, that only comes from God's Word where He makes it very clear. Jesus is the only way and the truth. Thanks for the awesome feedback! Blessings to you! Hugs.\nI understand that you are not judgmental and I hope what I said didn't come off as making it seem that you are. I just meant that sometimes other people may see it that way. They don't understand that you are trying to help them learn and sometimes they are resistant towards learning about what you trying to teach them.\nYour blog was interesting to read. Keep up the good work. :)\nIt's took me a while to figure it out; and I had some lengthy chats with my pastor about this. I had to realize that it's my job to share the Good News of Jesus. I don't do the saving. Jesus does the saving. When I share hopefully a seed will be planted; which may not be visible to me at the time. If there has been one planted Jesus will make it grow; even if it takes years. I had to learn to let it go that I'm not seeing an instant on the spot miracle change. I'm still learning that I think. In the mean time I can keep watering it by praying. It's hard to see loved ones turn away though. Thanks for the compliments on my work. Blessings to you. Keep sharing and watering those seeds. HUGS.\nPraise the Lord for our faithfulness to Him. And contrary to what you think/thought: you did a great job of explaining the truth to your friend. Keep in mind that even someone who has JUST come to know Jesus as his/her savior, is equipped to tell others, based on their own experience. It sounds to me like the Holy Spirit gave you all the words necessary. Remember, it's our responsibility to witness, but GOD's responsibility to save. Keep on praying for your friend.\nThanks so much. I had a discussion with my pastor once about that very thing. I thought I failed in my mission somewhere when I didn't convince a friend to see my point of view about Jesus. Pastor said \"you don't do the saving. You just plant the seed. Jesus does the saving\". It helped me a lot to realize that, and to realize that there may be a seed planted even when it doesn't appear to be so. Thanks for the feedback. Blessings. Hugs.\nGods greatest gift is love for you others .Do not go after things of the world and God will give you all that you need and more.\nThank you so much for the wonderful comment! This is something that I pray for, that my heart will always be open and longing to want God's will. Blessings to you. Hugs.\nNellie March 29, 2012\nIt never gets easier to see loved ones turn away from Jesus!\nNo, but as long as we can keep praying on their behalf there is hope. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the comments. Blessings to you. Hugs.\nWe often look for the wrong things.Our place on earth instead of heaven .Worldly things money power To often take the easy road not the hard rocky road.\nThe need for acceptance and recognition are things of the world and our pride and ego rule in the physical realm. While our will to serve God struggles with the Ego we feel helpless to change but when we place our lives in God's hands on a daily basis and truly try to focus on doing his will or allowing him to guide our lives we find the true happiness.\nWishing you all the best in life\nThank you so much for the wonderful comments and advice. I very much appreciate you reading and the feedback. Blessings.\nRavyna March 30, 2012\nI read with interest, as this past week I was just in CA visiting my unbelieving brother, and had the opportunity to at different times share about Jesus. It was an awesome experience. I didn't have a printed Bible, just the one in my Kindle, and there were no Gideon Bibles. But the last day I was there I asked at the front desk if they had one, and they gladly lent me one that they had there. My brother and I went up to my room and I share about man being a sinner, God being perfect, which is why Jesus needed to come as God in human form, and then die on the cross for us. He saw what I was saying, but was not ready to accept it. He did however say that he was planning on going back to the church that we had gone to together, and making an appointment with the pastor. God is working in his heart. I know it. The Holy Spirit was present, I didn't feel defensive, but at peace to share what I know. I did feel rusty in my knowledge of which Scripture passages to use, but God worked. God works in our lives in His own timing. Keep up the great blogs.\nThat's awesome that God is definitely working in your brother. I will pray for him. Thanks so much for sharing your story. Sounds like you had a productive visit. Blessings. HUGS.\nThank you Carley... Interesting... I like it!\nThanks Ray for reading. I'm glad you liked it, and I very much appreciate the feedback. HUGS.\nSometimes I think it is fear of failure, and also I think we also don't believe in ourselves. I know I had that problem but have slowly learnt to believe in myself and also not fear failure. Thanks for the blog, I was touched by it.\nThank you so much for your feedback. I can relate to what you said so very much. I'm glad you liked the article. Blessings. HUGS.\nCRAVINSUCCESS March 30, 2012\nI agree with your post. God help us to see all that you have for us. Be encouraged in the Lord always friends!\nThank you for reading, and thank you so very much for the comments. I so very much appreciate it. I'm glad you liked it. Blessings. HUGS.\nI find when you read the old testament we learn a lot off what is in the new. When we are saved we are saved we have a long way to go to become adults in the walk with God.We do not take everything at face value.When some takes one verse out of the bible read the whole chapter it night have a different message Now whats in the bible end to end You will learn so much and wont to learn more.\nThank you for reading, and also for the great feedback. I appreciate it. Blessings. HUGS.\nLILETHISKIND1 March 31, 2012\nSometimes we think of age and feel we can't do certain things because we are told so.\nYou are so right. The world tends to put limits on the human race. That's one of the reasons why being a child of God is so freeing... there are no limits with God. Jesus said that through faith we could do even greater miracles than He did. Thanks for reading, and I so very much appreciate the feedback. Blessings to you. Hugs.\nLILETHISKIND1 April 03, 2012\nHis grace is sufficient for us. Thank you for your encouragement.\nI believe we are all God\u2019s children, regardless of our faith, as he can enter our lives \u2013 on a personal level to become our saviour \u2013 at any time. God created mankind in his image. People who do not accept Him as their God will not call him God or Abba (Dad).\nBy having Jesus in your heart, you also have the power of the Holy Spirit and you will find strength to often find the right words and while they come from Carley\u2019s mouth, they may actually be lead from the Holy Spirit. These become God moments in your life. Fortunately, God knows our hearts. He also knows what we are trying to stay when we quite literaly stumble with our words or prayers.\nMy goal is to remain in faithful study of God\u2019s Word through scriptures. I too believe the Bibe to be God\u2019s truth: The inspired word of God through the many apostles, prophets, and followers responsible for authoring each of 66 books. I confess, I sometimes wonder why the Catholic Bible has more than the 66 books my bible has (I just discovered the book of Sirah last month . . . full of wisdom), so I can\u2019t help but think there is some human element involved whether it be in deciding what gets included or how it is translated from it\u2019s original languages (Hebrew and greek). I have people who consider themselves Christian who believe the bible is written by man. It\u2019s an argument I\u2019m not prepared to respond to well other than I know it in my heart to be God\u2019s truth. Perhaps it's part of that measure of Faith he gives each of us. -- Evelyn\nThe bible tells us that all scripture is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16). God's Word can prove itself on every point it makes. I've never seen the Catholic bible, but I've heard it mentioned in a number of bible studies and courses that I've done. They always say that the Catholic bible was changed at some point. That's why it is different than the others. I've also heard that the Ten Commandments are different in the Catholic bible. They say that they have been altered from the original. One commandment was taken out and one of the others was divided into two, to make it still number ten. If you ever get a chance to do a course called The Truth Project, it's so very much well worth it! It is an overload of information. I hope to do it again sometime just because I felt like I was on information overload. All totally fascinating though. I've done another couple of courses as well that taught about hunting down the truth. One is called Answers. It's about science and the bible. There is TONS of scientific evidence out there to back up the bible, including the 7-day creation of the bible! It's there! We rarely get exposed to these things because the 'powers that be', like governments and other powerful people, would prefer to keep it hidden. Another course I've done is called Bible Prophecy 101. It also teaches about how to hunt down the truth. I've done another course that taught us how to go back to the original texts to see what it says. We should never take one person's word on anything no matter how Godly or knowledgeable that person may seem to be. We should always go back to scripture for proof; but that's only useful if you know and understand what you're reading. Going back to the original texts leaves little to no room for doubt about what God's Word tells us. I respect anyone's choices. Everyone has a right to their own beliefs. That's part of what makes this world so wonderful. For me, though I don't want there to be any space whatsoever for my own personal theories or beliefs to seep into the truth. I don't want to BELIEVE in something. I only want to KNOW.\nI agree that it's great to be in the KNOW. -- Evelyn\nI think that more than limiting ourselves, we put limits on God. We believe in the impossibilities instead of the possibilities.\nThat is so true. People try to put God into their own version of a box. He cannot be put into a box created by the limited human thinking. And everything is possible with God. People forget that way too often. Thanks so much for the feedback. Blessings to you. HUGS.\nI just read this blog and it is really good.\nYour answer to your friend was right on!\nI wish I could share my faith like that! I am not a person of many words and when it comes to sharing Jesus with my family-it's even worse!\nYes i know the frustration of people not wanting to know Jesus and the truth.\nMy whole family laughs at me because I am devoted to my church and knowing Jesus.\nMy sister even told my mom that sin does not exist any more.\nMy mom is a devout catholic and believes following their rituals is all that is needed.\nShe is french and the church i go to is english so bringing her there is kind of hard.\nMy kids refuse to follow him and all I can do is pray for them and some days it makes me really sad. It's always in the back of my mind that they'll never accept him and they will go to Hell. That terrifies me!\nI wish I could make everybody see and feel the love of Jesus as a experienced it, but I don't know how. Plus,if they don't want to know,they just don't want to know(just like your friend).\nI know what I know,but I don't know how to share it.\nSomething else to work on!\nHave a great day! Hugs\nThank you so very much for sharing. You should pray about all of this. Ask God to provide you with opportunities to share, and the help you by giving you the words to say. Also, ask Him to let the hearts of those you're sharing with be open to receive the message. Blessings. HUGS.\nI should just open my heart and let God speak instead of trying to use my own words and my own power.\nI know what I should do,but I freeze and panic when it comes time to do it!\nI understand the freezing and panic. I'm the same way with my family. Others I don't seem to panic over so much... .family is a special lot and I'm scared of making them upset at me. You and I both need to pray about that in itself asking God to fill us with the courage making us a bold ambassador for Him when we need it. Tis something to work on for sure. Blessings. HUGS.",

Five family members were wounded and are now in a local hospital.\nWhen authorities found that the victims and survivors were Hebrew speakers, Rabbi Chaim Drukman, Chabad representative to Lucerne, was notified. He was told that they are Muslims from Israel who need help communicating. The rabbi, working in tandem with the Israeli consulate in Bern and local Israelis, quickly made his way to the hospital.\nAlthough the assumption was that they were Muslims, \u201cthat wasn\u2019t relevant,\u201d said Drukman. \u201cThe important thing to me was that there were people here in trauma, in a foreign country, without the language and familiarity. They are Hebrew speakers and needed our help.\u201d\nAfter some confusion about how the family wanted the dead to be attended, Drukman learned that the victims and survivors were not Muslim, but Druze Israeli citizens. Two of the dead were officers with the Israeli Police Force. The son of one of the wounded is now a soldier in the IDF.\n(One of the wounded is a brother of Azam Azam, the Israeli Druze businessman who was accused of espionage when he visited Egypt on business in 1996. He served eight years in an Egyptian prison before being released to Israel.)\nIn a phone conversation with lubavitch.com, Drukman said that the victims\u2019 family members from Israel will be coming within the next day. \u201cThey will need a lot of help while they are here, and I will do my best to reach out to them and provide them with assistance as they go through this difficult period, mourning for their loved ones and recovering from their injuries.\u201d\nKnowing that the victims were representatives of the Israeli police dedicated \u201cto protecting our people in Israel\u201d makes his work in this case, he said, especially meaningful.",

It\u2019s on a bench.\nHe runs his fingers over the letters: \u201cBattle of the Bulge.\u201d\nThe sun makes the granite sparkle, and a flag snaps to attention in the wind.\nThis, Jones says, is a peaceful place.\nThe Lawrence resident has waited more than 60 years for this moment. This is the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. \u2013 a memorial for his war, the one he fought in and the one in which he was captured during the Battle of the Bulge. He spent four months as a prisoner of war in Germany.\n\u201cIt\u2019s rather calming,\u201d he says. \u201cQuiet.\u201d\nJones, 85, is here because of a small town and a physician\u2019s assistant.\nThe small town is Lyndon, about 55 miles southwest of Lawrence in Osage County. Brian Spencer, the school superintendent there, started thinking last year about the number of World War II veterans who would never see the national WWII memorial, which was completed in 2004.\n\u201cAs a society, as a country, we haven\u2019t done a very good job of taking care of our World War II veterans and rewarding them and thanking them for what they did,\u201d Spencer says. \u201cI thought right here in Osage County, we can do better than that.\u201d\nIt was around that time he heard about the physician\u2019s assistant.\nEarl Morse routinely works with veterans through his job at a medical clinic in Springfield, Ohio. In 2004, the retired Air Force captain, offered to personally fly one of his veteran patients to Washington to see the memorial.\nWhen the veteran started crying, Morse knew what he had to do. He took the man to the nation\u2019s capital, then started a national program to get more veterans to Washington.\nTo date, Honor Flight has flown some 7,000 veterans to see the war memorial, free of charge. Private donations fund the organization. So far, the focus has mainly been on World War II veterans, though Korean and Vietnam war vets who have terminal illnesses are moved to the front of the line.\nSpencer signed up the Lyndon school district to be the first Honor Flight hub in Kansas. Students accompany the seniors on the flights, allowing them to get a first-hand look at history.\nThis April 30 trip is the second Honor Flight trip from Kansas. The first came in November, and the third was May 3. (Two more Lawrence residents were aboard that flight.)\nThe day started early, with the bus boarding in Lyndon at 3:45 a.m. Other veterans met the bus along the way, and some met at the Kansas City airport.\nOn board the flight, from the middle seat, Virginia Visser looks out the plane\u2019s window. An employee at Kansas City International Airport is standing on the tarmac with two American flags in her hands, paying tribute to the 35 World War II veterans, mostly from Kansas, on this April 30 flight.\nTears well in Visser\u2019s eyes.\nShe looks around the plane. Tufts of white hair peek out from ballcaps announcing the men\u2019s service branch.\nVisser, 85, was an Army nurse during World War II. She now lives in Lawrence.\n\u201cYou think about all the years that have gone by, and all the things these men have seen,\u201d she says. \u201cI think about all those young men I took care of all those years ago. Here they are.\u201d\nArriving at Baltimore, the veterans walk out \u2013 and some roll out in wheelchairs \u2013 to a standing ovation from those in the terminal.\n\u201cLadies and gentlemen, this flight out of Kansas City has 35 World War II veterans on board,\u201d an airline employee announces. \u201cWe\u2019d like you to show your appreciation for their service as they deplane.\u201d\nSure, this day is about seeing the memorial, trip organizer Angie Payne, of Lyndon, says. But it\u2019s about more than that.\n\u201cThey finally get that feeling of appreciation and gratitude they\u2019ve missed out on before,\u201d she says.\nOne by one, the veterans get off the bus and walk slowly toward the memorial.\nThey\u2019re greeted by a familiar face: former U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, the Kansas Republican and World War II veteran who served as fundraising chairman for the memorial. Dole staffers say he perks up whenever there are veterans from Kansas in town.\nInside the memorial, the veterans sing \u201cGod Bless America\u201d and lay a wreath at the Kansas pillar, one of 56 representing states and territories involved in the war.\nBefore the trip, Visser said she wasn\u2019t sure what her reaction would be when she finally saw the completed memorial.\nNow here, gazing at the flowing fountains, she\u2019s full of emotion.\n\u201cTo see this completed, it\u2019s just overwhelming,\u201d she says. \u201cYou think of all the veterans who are here, who have come here. We placed a wreath, and it has great meaning.\u201d\nJones, meanwhile, is reflective.\n\u201cThis visit fits in very well with what I experienced in World War II, and sort of puts a cap on it by visiting this wonderful memorial,\u201d he says.\nThe stop is brief, maybe an hour in all, as are stops at the Vietnam, Korean and Iwo Jima memorials. Then, it\u2019s dinner and time to fly back to Kansas City.\nA whirlwind trip, yes. But these veterans fought for the memorial.\nNow they\u2019ve seen it.",

        "title": "Book Babe: From A High Tower: The American Wild West German Style",
        "raw_content": "From A High Tower: The American Wild West German Style\nFrom a High Tower by Mercedes Lackey is the latest in her Elemental Masters series. The original premise of the series is that these would be fairy tale re-tellings taking place in the 19th century starring mages with elemental gifts. This is the second volume in this series that takes place in Germany. Giselle, the protagonist of the book, is an Air mage who begins as a version of Rapunzel.\nLater in this book there is a brief Hansel and Gretel re-telling. I admit that if I had known that there was a Hansel and Gretel element in this novel, I would have avoided it. I consider Hansel and Gretel a very nasty story that has fueled hysteria about witchcraft. Others feel that Hansel and Gretel exposes the neglect and abuse of children. I think that other fairy tales deal with this theme, and that Hansel and Gretel has done more harm than good. There is a long history of false accusations that have been primarily made against women because this fairy tale is engraved in the Euro-American collective unconscious. The only re-telling of Hansel and Gretel that I've liked is Louise Murphy's WWII novel, The True Story of Hansel and Gretel. I have no more use for Lackey's version than I have for any other traditional re-telling of this poisonous tale. The best I can say for it, is that it takes up relatively little narrative space in From a High Tower.\nSo let me tell you about some more interesting aspects of this Elemental Masters book that relate to feminism and popular culture.\nThe re-telling of Rapunzel is a narrative frame that is fully woven in the opening of the novel. This is really a book about an Air mage who uses her gifts to earn a living as a sharpshooter. She eventually joins a Wild West show that is touring Germany. There are two perspectives to take on this character. One is that Giselle is an unethical fraud who is only pretending to be the equal of the real historical sharpshooter Annie Oakley. ( Annie Oakley is mentioned in From a High Tower. She was also touring Germany in Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.) The second is that Giselle is a feminist hero. She is a resourceful survivor who has found a really cool way to utilize her magical abilities. Do the ends justify the means? I will allow readers to make their own decisions about Giselle.\nWhat interested me most about this novel is that Lackey portrays German perceptions of the American Wild West as being drastically different from American perceptions. Germans have been influenced by the works of the 19th century bestselling German author, Karl May. I have chosen to link to an English page on the Karl May Society website because it discusses why this author is regarded as important. I had heard of Karl May, but had never read his books or understood their appeal before reading From a High Tower. Like many other Americans , I had dismissed Karl May as inauthentic.\nPopular culture is steeped in legend. Each nation is very attached to the way their popular culture portrays the individuals who are regarded as key figures. American popular culture about the 19th century American West, which is still known as the Wild West, is no more authentic than the German version created by a single author. Lackey presents the American Wild West show performers with a dilemma. Their rendition of the Wild West didn't connect with the German audience. They wanted to see a dramatization of a scenario out of the works of Karl May, and their expectations were being disappointed.\nWhy should this culture clash matter to 21st century readers? The most important issue was the portrayal of Native Americans. Should they be heroes or villains in a Wild West show? Karl May's novels depict Native Americans as heroes. In the U.S. of the 19th century such a scenario would never be seen. As a 21st century reader, I might consider Karl May's view romanticized, but the universal villainization of Native Americans that occurred in U.S. Wild West shows during that period is totally unacceptable to me. So I was on the side of the German audience and the Native American performers who deserved better than to be depicted as hateful caricatures.\nThis is noteworthy because Germans are now so often associated with Nazism which regarded all non-whites as inferior and degenerate. In From a High Tower, Lackey depicts Germans in opposition to American racism in the century before the rise of the Nazi movement.\nSo Mercedes Lackey's tale is primarily about abandoning stereotypes. I just wish that she could also have also broken the mold of Hansel and Gretel. We need to grow beyond demonizing anyone.\nLabels: Annie Oakley, Book Reviews, Fairy Tale Retellings, Fantasy, germany, Hansel and Gretel. 19th century, Karl May, Wild West Shows",

Read on to learn more about those new songs, the other tunes on Greatest Hits and more -- in short, everything that's known so far about the project.\nOwen's new album is, appropriately, titled Greatest Hits.\nOwen's Greatest Hits is due out on Nov. 24, Black Friday 2017.\nThe cover of Greatest Hits, which readers can see below, is a black-and-white photo of Owen, smiling. His autograph is at the bottom of the cover, in a sky-blue-ish color; Greatest Hits is written next to it in small white text.\nGreatest Hits is being released via RCA Nashville, Owen's longtime record label. The record will be Owen's final one with RCA, as he recently signed with Big Loud Records.\nSince the songs on Owen's Greatest Hits disc are mostly taken from previous albums, those track's producers are the same as before. The producer of the record's two new songs, however, has not been revealed.\nThus far, no singles have been released from Owen's Greatest Hits album. The record does feature two new songs, though, so perhaps one of those will be released as a single down the line.\nOwen's Greatest Hits disc will feature 13 songs: His very first single (\"Yee Haw\"), his first Top 5 single (\"Don't Think I Can't Love You\"), his first gold single (\"Eight Second Ride\"), his six No. 1 songs, a few fan-favorite tracks and two brand-new songs.\nThe brand-new tunes from Owen are Greatest Hits' final two tracks: \"Subliminal Love,\" written by Owen, Tommy Cecil, Benjy Davis and Cole Taylor, and \"Long as You're in It,\" written by Owen, Matt Alderman, Cecil, Kelsey Hart and Jared Mullins.\nJake Owen, Greatest Hits Track Listing:\n1. \"Yee Haw\"\n2. \"Don\u2019t Think I Can\u2019t Love You\"\n3. \"Eight Second Ride\"\n4. \"Barefoot Blue Jean Night\"\n5. \"Alone With You\"\n6. \"The One That Got Away\"\n7. \"Anywhere With You\"\n8. \"Days of Gold\"\n9. \"Beachin\u2019\"\n10. \"What We Ain\u2019t Got\"\n11. \"American Country Love Song\"\n12. \"Subliminal Love\"\n13. \"Long as You\u2019re in It\"\nSource: Everything We Know About Jake Owen\u2019s \u2018Greatest Hits\u2019 Album",

        "title": "Why General Motors Ditched Fritz: Analysis \u00bb World \u00bb yakmee.com",
        "raw_content": "(L to R) General Motors Chairman Ed Whitacre, Vice Chairman Bob Lutz and Ex-Interim CEO Fritz Henderson (Photo by Bill Pugliano/Gabriel Buoys/AFP/Getty Images)\tThe painful, if brief, Chapter 11 bankruptcy GM endured earlier this year was apparently not enough to change the face of General Motors. Nor was the White House's ouster of CEO G. Richard Wagoner Jr. last March. The new chairman of GM, Ed Whitacre, and its newly minted board of directors moved to replace CEO Fritz Henderson Tuesday, Dec. 1, the day before the CEO was to deliver the keynote speech at the Los Angeles Auto Show. After less than five months on the job, the move to oust Henderson, a 25-year GM veteran, seems calculated to clearly communicate that the old GM is really dead.\nHenderson had been hatcheting costs at GM since the bankruptcy, and sales since GM came out of Chapter 11 last July have been running above targets. But Henderson's fate was likely sealed the day he took the CEO job when the White House auto industry task force asked him to serve as \"interim CEO.\" Henderson refused, saying the title wouldn't give him the teeth to get the job done if people thought he was leaving.\nIt appears now that the White House, which bailed out GM and provided taxpayer financing to the automaker through the bankruptcy process, never felt there was a commitment to Henderson, and let the board of directors know they could replace him with a fresh face at any time. That face will be Ed Whitacre, who starred in GM's first post-bankruptcy TV ad.\nHenderson is a finance-oriented executive with a track record of cutting costs and boosting efficiency at GM Europe and GM Asia. But GM's problem now, having shed legacy healthcare costs, excess employees and debt, is growing market share and revenue. Whitacre and the board did not believe that Henderson, who apprenticed under former CEOs John Smith and Rick Wagoner for 25 years, was the person to overhaul GM's culture. \"I can tell you that changing culture fast is not easy, but very necessary to deal with where the industry and our driving culture is going...we have gone through a big culture change at Ford and it is still going on every day,\" says Ford's America division president, Mark Fields, who did not want to comment specifically on Henderson's ouster.\nHenderson did not see eye-to-eye with chairman Ed Whitacre, who was brought in by the White House after Henderson was given the job: Henderson was keen to sell off the company's Opel division in Europe, a move the board reversed. He led the selection of \"preferred buyers\" for Saab and Saturn only to have both deals fall apart because the would-be buyers backed out of the deals at the 11th hour. Henderson pushed back on replacing chief financial officer, Ray Young. And Whitacre looked at how much GM had budgeted for marketing, deemed it insufficient to compete against rivals Ford and Toyota, and boosted the funds by some $500 million.\nNow that Henderson is gone, attention will FORD FOCUS on Whitacre's stewardship of the company, as well as his relationship with vice chairman Bob Lutz, who has led the company's significantly upgraded product line and now is the company's chief marketing officer. At a time when GM was hoping to FORD FOCUS on rebuilding trust and credibility with consumers, the search for its third CEO in eight months will undoubtedly be a distraction.\n\"I am very sorry to see Fritz go,\" Lutz said, standing in for Henderson at the 2009 LA Auto Show. \"Meanwhile, we've got a large, great corporation to run,\" he said. \"We're going to do our duty and keep the FORD FOCUS on the product because, at the end of the day, that's what's going to save the company.\"\nFollowing his speech, Lutz told reporters that the announcement came as \"a psychological shock\" to employees. \"You can dwell on what happened and let it get you down, [but] that's certainly not the way I was trained in the Marine Corps,\" Lutz said, \"and I think the rest of the executives at GM are just going to say this is something that took us by surprise, something we wouldn't have done, something we don't necessarily like. But our loyalty is to General Motors and the shareholders and the public that buys our cars.\"\nThe board of directors may have a difficult time recruiting a top executive. GM is limited in what it can pay in salary and it can't offer stock or options until it does a new initial public offering. Whitacre and the others on the board' search committee, with advice from the head of the White House auto industry task force, Ron Bloom, will work with an executive recruiting firm and also tap Whitacre's rolodex. It is also possible, some auto executives theorized on the auto show floor, that Whitacre may choose to hold the job himself through GM's eventual IPO.\nWithin the auto industry, top candidates are likely to include Ford's James Farley, who is group vice president of global marketing, as well chief of its Canada, Mexico and South America operations. Another candidate is Mark Fields, president of Ford's Americas division. Ford's turnaround under Alan Mulally, who came to Ford in 2006 from Boeing, is a model that GM board members are said to admire. Hyundai Motor America CEO and President John Krafcik is also a probable candidate. Former Toyota North America chief and Chrysler vice chairman James Press has been spotted at GM's offices, according to industry sources. But Press's well-publicized personal financial problems and his performance at Chrysler leading up to that automaker's bankruptcy would make him a long shot for serious consideration for the CEO job.\nThe problem of not being able to offer a new CEO stock, options, a fat paycheck or even a company plane could be mitigated by the possibility for an executive to cash in later by being granted a significant award of stock when GM goes public again.\nWall Street analysts have been amused that there is still nominal trading going on of GM's shares on the over-the-counter \"pink sheets\"lutz in the middle despite the company being delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and the old shares being essentially worthless. If the new GM board was looking for symbolism to show that the old GM was history, perhaps asking for Henderson's resignation will push that message deeper into the American psyche.",

        "raw_content": "It should be noted that May 29th is designated as the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. The history tells us that on May 29, 1948, the newly formed global organization United Nations, more specifically its Security Council established the first peacekeeping operation, the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), based in the Middle East. In 2001, the General Assembly proclaimed 29 May as the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers to pay tribute to the men and women who serve in United Nations peacekeeping operations and honour the memory of those who have lost their lives in the cause of peace.\nLast year on May 29 the UN marked the 60th anniversary of its Peacekeeping Forces being deployed. Now that we are into the NATO 60th anniversary it is important to do an assessment of the lessons for the global security that history bestowed us with. I am especially concerned with the lack of \"real\" cooperation between essential organization such NATO, the UN, and the EU. Although there is much talk and plenty of bureaucracies, duplications and inefficiencies are common and almost always the rule. Do we need a major war or a severe crisis, so we can be as productive and visionary as the generation of leaders which established this prominent organizations in the post WWII period? Can the global financial crisis at least provide the catalyst for better and more efficient division of the arduous labor needed to maintain (preserve) the global security? Let's live some and we will see as a famous Russian proverb states...\nNATO, Russia want foreign ministers meeting\nBRUSSELS (AP) \u2014 Political ties between NATO and Russia are gradually improving following the break caused by the Russo-Georgian war, but a ministerial meeting is needed to pave the way for military cooperation, officials said Wednesday.\nNATO deputy spokeswoman Carmen Romero said that ambassadors from NATO's 28 nations and Russia's envoy to the alliance were determined to hold a meeting of foreign ministers \"as soon as logistically possible.\"\nThe ambassadors met on Wednesday within the framework of the NATO-Russia Council, a panel set up to improve cooperation between the former Cold War foes.\nRussia's NATO envoy Dmitry Rogozin described the meeting as constructive and forward-looking. \"Discussions were focused on giving new stimulus and quality to our joint work,\" he said.\nMoscow and NATO have sought in recent months to improve ties that were frozen after Russia's war with Georgia last August.\nA meeting of foreign ministers had been scheduled in April, but tensions soared again over the expulsion of two Russian diplomats for alleged spying and the retaliatory move by Moscow which expelled two NATO officials. Moscow also strongly objected to a NATO military exercise in Georgia, and the planned ministerial talks were called off.\nRogozin said that although both sides were now determined to move forward on issues where they had shared interests \u2014 such as Afghanistan, anti-piracy efforts and disarmament \u2014 the meeting of foreign ministers was needed to endorse any formal military-to-military cooperation between Russia and NATO.\nRussia has allowed NATO nations to use its road and rail networks to transport military supplies to Afghanistan, after the alliance's main supply chain through Pakistan came under repeated attack by pro-Taliban guerrillas.\nAlthough the main transport line has not been cut, NATO commanders say they need alternate routes to ensure that logistical supplies will continue to flow through uninterrupted.\nObama's first 100 days\nThe election of Barack Obama as America's 44 th President raised high hopes, not only in the United States itself, but in Europe too. Everyone believed that the transatlantic relations would get a great boost. What has the outcome been so far?\nObama made a major trip in March and April of this year to Europe. He took part in the G20 summit in London, attended the NATO summit in Strasbourg where he played a great role by supporting the revision of the strategy towards Afghanistan. He then flew to Prague for an informal EU-US summit. High on the agenda was resolving the problem on relocating the prisoners from Guantanomo Bay. After that in Turkey he was welcomed with open arms and reached out to the Turkish people. Europeans cannot have ignored Obama's assertive approach, although it could have been felt, as a bit too much. Does this matter? Certainly not!\nBut how have the Europeans been reacting to all this 'friendly' behaviour? Sadly enough they have all been busy with domestic issues that have been arising as serious problems in their own countries. Gordon Brown and his Labour party faces very bad polls and British politicians in general are having a hard time in being taken serious by the British people. In Germany the election competition is well underway and Merkel is up against the odds with an economy that is suffering badly and a serious oppenent named Steinmeier. Silvio Berlusconi aims at maintaining a dominant political position in Italy, which isn't easy if all attention is drawn to behaviour in the personal sphere.\nObama has shown us so far that inspirational leadership can really make a difference. But the transatlantic relations can only been promoted and intensified if both sides of the Atlantic take their responsibilities. Therefore, will the real European leader, 'please stand up'?!\nBaltic Eagle 2009\nThe armed forces of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are in the final stage of training the Baltic Battalion and will soon commence Baltic Eagle 2009 military training, scheduled from 02 to 17 June at the \u0100da\u017ei military training area in Latvia. The Baltic Battalion is a multinational unit delegated to the NATO Response Force (NRF).\nThe military training has been planned by the Baltic States Land Forces commanders. Approximately 1 100 soldiers will be involved in the military training, which will test the combat readiness of the Battalion for inclusion in the NRF.\nThe combat readiness of the Battalion will be assessed using NATO standard procedures. The assessment will be performed by representatives of the armed forces of the Baltic States, with support from the Advisers and Training Team personnel of the Danish Defence. The Danish Defence has played a significant role in Baltic States Land Forces Brigade training for several years. Representatives from NATO will monitor the assessment process.\nThe combat readiness of teams delegated to the Baltic Battalion has already been tested by the NATO member countries in military training either managed by the international staff of the Baltic Battalion or run on a national level. The joint management of all forces and operations will be conducted during the Baltic Eagle 2009 military training.\nAccording to the military training schedule, the NRF will take positions in the military conflict zone and will execute extensive operations, including the relocation of forces and offensive and defensive tasks.\nThe military training will take place in three stages: the coordination of forces, field training, and combat firing. New weapons and equipment corresponding to the modern combat warfare requirements will be used during the training at the \u0100da\u017ei military training area, including third generation Spike guided anti-tank rockets, heavy 8x8 multifunctional transportation vehicles and SISU armoured personnel carriers, G36 assault rifles and other equipment. Approximately 200 technical units will be involved in the military training, including 40 armoured personnel carriers.\nThe Baltic States soldiers will apply common combat procedures and common language during the military training; however, there will be some differences. For example, Lithuanian soldiers will use armoured M 113 personnel carriers, while the Estonians will use SISU and the Latvians will use an armoured Humvee wheeled vehicle.\n\u201cWe have conducted various military training for Baltic Battalion teams, both on a national and international level. It\u2019s obvious that they are ready to execute the assigned tasks. Now, with the deployment of forces, we will have the opportunity to observe how these different teams work together as one entity, as a united team. It will be a dress rehearsal for combat readiness for performing certain tasks when fully equipped,\u201d emphasizes Baltic Battalion Commander Lieutenant Colonel Remigijus Baltrenas from Lithuania.\nThe Baltic Battalion was created in 2007 with a joint agreement between the Baltic States. The armed forces of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania provided personnel for the infantry company of the Battalion, combat support elements and other combat capabilities. Each country is responsible for the provisions of its own contingent. The overall contribution of the Baltic States (approximately 800 soldiers) to the NATO forces is significant. At the beginning of 2010, the Battalion will commence its six month on-call period as a part of the 14th rotation of the NRF component for land.\nThe NRF is a high-readiness and technologically advanced combat force created by the Alliance with components of the land, air, naval, and special forces, which can be easily deployed when required. It can perform combat tasks in any part of the world and from a wide range of operations.\nSIMOTAN IV Videos\nYou can check the SIMOTAN IV videos on the Portuguese Atlantic Committee / Portuguese Atlantic Youth Association Youtube channel.\nInterview - Professor Victor Marques dos Santos\nInterview given by Professor Victor Marques dos Santos to the Portuguese Atlantic Youth Association, 12 May 2009\nVictor Marques dos Santos. Associate Professor with Tenure.\nSchool of Social and Political Sciences, Lisbon Technical University.\nHow do you feel NATO handled the transition into a post-cold war era?\nThe end of the cold war faced NATO with an awkward scenario where the classic enemy had apparently vanished. Althoug the western approach and mindset over security and defence remained the same, soon the revision of the strategic concept became unavoidable. This was based on the available prospective and on the evolutionary perception about new challenges related with the new and different nature, scope and reach of risk and threat management. This was also increasingly related with new global issues and the need for solutions through which governments are evaluated and legitimized by their constituencies.\nHandling the transition is still under way, but it has entered a new phase. The hopeful predictions of the immediate post-cold war era didn\u2019t materialize as expected, and the transition process is still unfolding. The cold war era and the inherent international order have not been replaced by a \u201cnew world order\u201d that we can deal with from a classic conceptual perspective, through a static framework of analysis.\nThe present situation implies handling an environment characterized by uncertainty, and sustained interactive processes of dynamic and synergic change. In this new context, NATO must develop a proactive public diplomacy effort, devising innovative ways to ensure sustained public acceptance, support and credibility as a reliable and legitimate player, to promote and provide security, while improving its visibility and image among friends and partners. NATO must be portrayed as being a part of the solution, through an increasingly flexible and diversified performance capacity, by responding to the new issues and challenges often involving non-military missions.\nTalking about past and future enlargements, do you support them?\nThe post-cold war era enlargements have proven to be successful. The partnerships and other relational frameworks and joint instances created and implemented with third countries, seem to be of the utmost importance for a deeper, transparent, mutual understanding, fostering cooperation, improving confidence building measures and gradually replacing mistrust and confrontational attitudes by reciprocal acknowledgement and dialogical settings. Any new enlargements must ensure that this acquired assets and the new the relational environment built so far, are maintained and improved. NATO Allies also face the responsibility to contain, manage and help to settle potential crises, maintain and improve strategic stability in areas of interest where failed states are unable to provide it. Member states\u2019 constituencies are now increasingly \u201cattentive publics\u201d, electorates and tax payers that understand how foreign policy decisions impact their lives. Therefore, it\u2019s becoming increasingly difficult for policy-makers to seek legitimization of provocative actions, moves or attitudes that, in the eyes of the international public opinion and of the transnationalized civil society, would seem unjustified and contrary to their perceived interests, namely by jeopardizing their security.\nThe logic behind future enlargements must conciliate the core and binding objectives of member states\u2019 defence and security, as consecrated by the Treaty, with other interests resulting from the new geopolitical environment and the inherent economic evolution, namely the access to basic resources, and institutional, social and political stabilization of certain geographical areas. The U.S.\u2019 new \u201cbalanced strategy\u201d principles, aims and objectives, as well as the other NATO countries strategic perceptions, will certainly impact and influence the logic of future enlargements, in defining the conciliation terms of those states\u2019 own interests and strategic visions, with the Treaty\u2019s principles, objectives and tactical adaptations. In any event, future enlargements must equate the convenience of new \u201cout-of-area\u201d memberships with the possibility of developing special relationships, such as operational and tactical cooperation agreements under new partnership frameworks.\nDo you think NATO\u2019s enlargement should be focused on other areas? Say the southern area of the North-Atlantic for example?\nThis is an area of obvious interest, where the partnership agreements versus membership options should be equated. If, on the one hand, the \u201cout-of-area\u201d concept seems to have lost its operational meaning, on the other hand, the Treaty in itself, sustains the original binding principles and commits member states to certain obligations that may be reassessed and rearranged through specific agreements, and adapted to regional and state agendas and requirements. This will ensure strategic and operational cooperation, based on mutual interests, without the need to resort to full membership.\nWhat do you think about NATO\u2019s involvement with Russia? Which path do you think the relationship between the two should take in the 21st century?\nRegardless of its strategic implications, this issue still involves perceptions and objectives determined by a strong psychological component. The relationship between NATO and Russia cannot be assessed without taking into account the sharp differences of attitude underlying each one\u2019s approach path to the present stage of the relationship. These differences will remain and its effects will persist, for as long as we don\u2019t recognize that Russia hasn\u2019t overcome de debacle of 1989-1991, and that the West holds, and frequently reasserts, an expanding posture emboldened by the power void resulting from the same course of events. This attitude has allowed for Russia\u2019s legitimate and powerful argument, as well as for a nationwide condoned incentive, to redress itself and regain its pride through the return to its old superpower statute in the community of nations. Russia is showing both the remaking of its military might and its capability to condition its neighbours\u2019 economic interests through energetic dependency, and strategic interests, as well as through its active participation in all the formal and informal international decision making instances.\nBut by achieving international recognition as an inevitable player, Russia will also be led to identify areas of mutual interest, namely strategic cooperation with the Europe and the West that will come to be dealt with in a constructive manner. The 21st. century is bound to reveal new common threats, interests and objectives as fast growing and complex interdependences become the earmark of the global relational setting. This may determine potential alignments and common agendas, that will foster mutual perceptions about the need to expand common ground to agree upon, identify and limit the areas of consensual dissent, and develop innovative ways to manage conflict, limit damage and improve the stabilising effects on the overall relationship.\nHow do you foresee the future vis a vis a coexisting NATO and European Defence Force/Army?\nI think that operational advantages, interchangeable commands, control systems, equipments, sharing information, viewed through an economy of scale concept, must be central to the criteria for an interactive, synergic and complementary coexistence. The different nature, purpose, scope and reach of each of the two entities cannot be separated from the very different origins and evolving character of each one\u2019s own dynamics and enlargement processes. The undeniable importance of defence and security should also determine the level of commitment of the EU member states to NATO, especially relating to perceived and identified \u201cout-of area\u201d interests.\nWhat would you guess to be NATO\u2019s main challenges and threats in the 21st century?\nProspective is difficult when the century is only nine years old. Experience shows that predictions tend to set up scenarios that remain as such and rarely materialize. Today\u2019s threats may not be the ones of tomorrow. Socio-economic evolutions, migrations, resource depletion and scarcity, climate change, environment and ecological degradation, demographics and the access to basic survival related resources like clean water and food, will change perceptions, priorities, attitudes and collective behaviour, values and mentalities. Terrorism in all its forms and shapes, piracy local insurgencies and anti-social behaviours in urban and rural areas, both in industrialized and developing countries, as well as mass migrations originated either by conflict or by those needs and survival imperatives, are just a few examples of the instability and the consequences of change.\nAll these factors are potential threat multipliers. They are also bound to reshape the geopolitical setting through the geographically as well as institutionally differentiated allocation of power. The ensuing polarization and proliferation of displaced power centres will depend on the re-evaluation of resources deemed crucial to meet the inevitable needs of each actor, giving way to the identification of new power factors in competition with military might.\nHowever, may be the greatest challenge for NATO will be its members\u2019 perceptions and political will to steer and correct course in a dynamic, sustained and permanently adaptive way, in order to forestall potential crises and conflict drivers as they unfold, by anticipating the new patterns of change. To achieve this performance at operational level, the Alliance needs to be revitalized, and the transatlantic relationship should be rebalanced.\nThe decision makers\u2019 perceptions about change should lead them to try to conciliate each one\u2019s national interest with both the Alliance needs and the global community imperatives. This won\u2019t happen if political leaders retain a cold-war-era-like mindset and the corresponding framework of analysis, by trying to adapt obsolete conflict resolution instruments and strategies, to a globalizing scenario whose requirements go far beyond the \u201cbusiness-as-usual\u201d attitude of situational threat awareness and operational preparedness.\nIn the new century, the correct perception of the sustained dynamics of change and the inherently inevitable need for interactive complexity management, become crucial and can only be attained through innovative, communicational, informational interactive and synergic processes and instruments. Dynamic interactive perceptions and critically, mutual knowledge, should be regarded as enhanced drivers for change, rather than as improved power factors.\nFirst trilater meeting Iran-Pakistan-Afghanistan on Insurgency\nIranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met in Tehran on May 24 with his Afghan and Pakistani counterparts, Hamid Karzai and Asif Ali Zardari to discuss regional cooperation, with a special focus on growing insurgency in both Pakistan and Afghanistan. Firstly scheduled on the 19th of May, the event was postponed to last sunday due to heavy work by President Zardari.\nThis summit gained particular significance as it was the first trilater meeting focused on regional security Iran hosted in the recent times, in an attempt to emerge as a regional player, to counterbalance its Sunni Rival, Saudi Arabia, and to gain levers with United States over Iraq. Reconciliation with United States, indeed, is undergoing but gridlock persists. (2009 is an election year in Iran.)\nMoreover, the importance of the Summit lays in the evidence that a political settlement to the Taliban Insurgency needs some sort of consensus involving Pakistan and Iran which both owns much of the country stability. Karzai is the most seriously concerned of the three as proven by his recent manouver to reach out to Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar. The Taliban Insurgency worries not only Afghanistan but Pakistan and Iran as well. Radicalization of tribes along the Durand line can poses a critical threat to Pakistani national security. Iran influence over its Eastern flank could be diminished by a more powerful and united insurgency movement.\nDuring the meeting, drug smugling, economic and energy cooperation have been discussed as well.\nSIMOTAN IV - NAC issues a consensual draft communiqu\u00e9\nArmenian Foreign and Defence Ministers visit NATO\nMinister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandyan and Minister of Defence Seyran Ohanyan of Armenia met with the NATO Secretary General on 20 May for an exchange of views on the implementation of the Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP).\nMinister Nalbandyan and Minister Ohanyan also had a meeting with the North Atlantic Council. During the discussion, NATO Allies commended Armenia for the progress in defence reform achieved so far and for the growing practical cooperation with the Alliance.\nAllies encouraged Armenia to pursue its reform efforts and reiterated NATO\u2019s commitment to continue supporting Armenia within the IPAP. They also welcomed Armenia\u2019s contribution to KFOR, and looked forward to Armenian participation in the NATO-led mission in Afghanistan.\nFinally, the Ministers briefed the Secretary General and the NATO Ambassadors on regional security issues.\nSIMOTAN IV Kicks off\n(also published on the Portuguese Atlantic Committee / Portuguese Atlantic Youth Association blog)\nBiden Eats Ice Cream in Kosovo\nThe Vice President of the United States Joe Biden concluded a three day visit to the Balkans aimed at demonstrating an intensified US engagement in the region. He visited Bosnia, Serbia, and Kosovo before ending his journey in the Western Balkans. I am curious about the particular order of the visit, as it does resemble the order of the NATO involvment.\nThe United Press International reported that on his first visit to Kosovo since it declared independence from Serbia in February 2008, the US Vice President Biden went to the U.S. Bondsteel military camp for lunch, which included his favorite ice-cream. The hope of the people from the region is to see the etnic tensions and divisions melting as fast as the ice cream when consumed; however, the unlikely chances for short term integration in the EU and NATO are refrigerating those hopes quickly.\nBiden told the American troops they protected innocent people in Kosovo exactly 10 years ago and now they are providing Kosovars the security to construct an independent, democratic and multiethnic state. He also paid tribute to the families of 4,295 soldiers killed in Iraq, 679 fallen soldiers in Afghanistan and 34,084 wounded in the two countries.\nPosted by Boyan at 6:14 AM 1 comments\nRussia to conduct large-scale war games in Caucasus\nRussia Today, 20 May, 2009, 01:25\nAll brigades in Russia\u2019s North Caucasus military district are to participate in the Kavkaz-2009 military maneuvers in June 2009, according to the ITAR-TASS news agency.\nFirst deputy Minister of Defence Aleksandr Kolmakov says the scale of the war games will be comparable to those of the Soviet era.\nSimultaneously, all of Russia\u2019s military commands are set to conduct demonstration tactical maneuvers at the same time the Kavkaz-2009 war games are underway this summer.\nFurther, the newly created army re-structuring of brigades will closely study the experience of the military operation in Georgia in August 2008.\nAt the moment, the armies of 12 NATO countries are taking part in the Cooperative Longbow 09/Cooperative Lancer 09 war games in Georgia, being held within the framework of the Partnership for Peace programme of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.\nThese military drills close to Russian borders have resulted in numerous protests from top Russian officials.\nThe August War in Georgia had started right after the Kavkaz 2008 military maneuvres were over.... Should we expect another real \"war games\" later this July?\nNATO Review: Law, order and the elections in Afghanistan\nThis week NATO has released its new NATO Review dedicated to the law, order and the upcoming presidential elections in Afghanistan, which you can access here.\nWhat makes this Review an interesting to read that it is not one more piece, where NATO-led mission in Afghanistan is praised for its work and achievements, but reveals current challenges and threats to the establishment of so desired stability and peace.\nI would like to highlight an article published by Sari Kouvo, where she perfectly describes the current state of affairs in Afganistan concerning the rule of law, or more correctly to say, absence of it from the part of the cenrafl gov-t. She describes the current processes as \"institutionalization of impunity\".\nI find the heading \"Rule of Law deficits as Security Challenge: 'Touching the Surface' \" as a very pricise, giving us the insight into the story.\nHere are some interesting extracts:\nVisiting a provincial prison in northern Afghanistan some years ago, I met a friendly and engaging prison chief. He told me about the challenges he was facing with corruption amongst the police, prosecutors and judges and how bad he felt about prolonged pre-trial detention and his administration\u2019s shortcomings.\nHe also emphasized how much he appreciated the cooperation with the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) and was eager to show me the refurbishment done with PRT support. In the middle of the conversation the prison chief had to take a call.\nAfter my translator and I left the meeting, my translator informed me that the telephone conversation was about how much bribe a certain prisoner should be expected to pay for his release (...)\nMy experience with the prison chief is a perfect illustration of the failure of the rule of law reform strategies deployed in the first years of the state-building process: ad hoc and donor-driven reform projects focusing on some law reforms, short-term capacity-building and refurbishing infrastructure. These efforts affected nothing but the surface of the Afghan security and justice sectors, while a culture of corruption and impunity was allowed to grow stronger. Depending on who the interlocutor is, the security and justice sectors show their different facets. The well-meaning foreigner with her driver and translator and the Afghan peasant who is claiming back his land from the local commander face very different realities of (in)justice. (...)\nThe failure to exclude the leaders of armed militias, many of whom have known records of gross human rights abuses, from government structures and the failure to ensure a comprehensive disarmament process have further weakened good governance and rule of law. The presence of leaders who perceive themselves to be above or beyond the law in the government has entrenched the void between myth and reality in the internationally-supported rule of law reforms in Afghanistan. (...)\nThe Afghan government\u2019s only presence among large parts of Afghanistan\u2019s poor and illiterate populations has been:\nPrison chiefs like my friend from the north\nCorrupt police officers ready to harass if they do not receive their bribe\nJudges whose decision depend on the will of the local strongman rather than on law and\nUnofficial local governors who find it convenient to serve not only as governor, but also as police chief, prosecutor and judge in their district.\nNot surprisingly, these patterns of corruption and crime have undermined the legitimacy of the government and are contributing to growing insecurity: a citizen that cannot trust the government is unlikely to defend and support it.\nMuch emphasis is currently put on the upcoming electoral cycle and its power to restore the Afghan government\u2019s legitimacy. Though many observers warn that the elections are unlikely to be free and fair, the hope is that they will be at least credible. Elections, enabling citizens to choose their political leadership, can certainly be a powerful tool for legitimacy\nSIMOTAN IV\nFollow us in the next days, with posts, photos and videos!\nScheffer receives the highest honour in Bulgaria\nAs The Echo reported, Bulgarian President Georgi Purvanov conferred on outgoing Nato secretary-general Jaap de Hoop Scheffer the country's highest honour, the Stara Planina first class, at a ceremony on April 23 2009.\nBulgarians were glad that the country had joined Nato and the country's support for Nato's open-door policy yielded positive results, Purvanov said.\nScheffer is stepping down and will be succeeded by Denmark's Anders Fogh Rasmussen. This was his last scheduled visit to Bulgaria as Nato secretary-general.\nPurvanov said that the honour was conferred on Scheffer for his exceptional role in enhancing peace and security on a global scale.\nPurvanov said that Bulgaria's good performance as a Nato member was largely due to the support and co-operation of Scheffer.\nDuring his visit, Scheffer also held talks with Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev.\nInternational Forum on Technology for Security, Rome 11-14 May\nThe Italian Atlantic Committee participated to the 20th edition of the International Forum on Public Administration organized in Rome from the 11th ot the 14th of May.\nThe Italian Atlantic Committee stand displayed an exhibition on NATO 60th Anniversary and a video on International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

Mr. Valdis Zatlers and First Lady Lilita Zatlere participated in the campaign and visited Madlienas secondary school, in the district of Ogre, central Latvia. During his speech president of Latvia stressed the importance of being safe and secure, taking into account lessons of Latvia\u2019s history, and the role of NATO in securing peace in Europe and in particular - independent state of Latvia. He also explained why it is so crucial for the members of the Alliance to work closely together in Afghanistan and why Latvia\u2019s involvement in international operations is needed.\nStudents were very attentive listeners and after President\u2019s speech challenged him with numerous questions. As teachers later admitted, they haven\u2019t seen for a long time such an attention and activity of the audience . President made his public address in informal and friendly manner, thus catching the interest and trust of the students and building up an interactive communication.\nAfter President\u2019s speech a special short documentary on Latvia\u2019s 5 years experience in NATO was demonstrated and a representative of the Latvian National Armed Forces (NAF) explained what has changed in the military sector after joining NATO. In the conclusion a small quiz was organised and the most active students received symbolic NATO gifts and souvenirs.\nThe final phase of the NATO Information campaign in the schools of Riga\u2019s region\nOn the occasion of Latvia\u2019s 5 years membership in NATO and NATO\u2019s 60th anniversary Latvian Transatlantic organisation (LATO) in cooperation with NATO, the Ministry of Defence of Latvia, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Latvia and Latvian National Armed Forces (NAF) on March 30, 2009 launched a broad NATO Information campaign in Latvian schools, so far visiting 40 schools in the four Latvian regions \u2013 Latgale, Vidzeme, Zemgale and Kurzeme.

Latvia was represented by two active youngsters \u2013 Uldis \u0160alajevs, vice-president of Latvian Youth Council and Arvils Zelti\u0146\u0161, 4th grade student at the Riga Stradi\u0146\u0161 University.\nAs it was in the previous years in Prague (2002), Istanbul (2004), Riga (2006) and Bucharest (2008), this year in Strasbourg on the eve of the NATO 60th Anniversary young leaders from all over the Atlantic discussed the future of NATO and new security challenges as well as met with prominent experts and world leaders, like Mr. Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, NATO Secretary General, Dr. Fran Burwell, Vice-President of the Atlantic Council of the United States, Dr. Jamie Shea, Director of Policy Planning in the Private Office of the NATO Secretary General, Mr. Gideon Rachman, chief foreign affairs columnist of the Financial Times, Mr. Edward Lucas, the Central and Eastern Europe correspondent for \u201cThe Economist\u201d, as well as with the president of the United States Barack Obama. In total, more than 300 youngsters from 57 countries participated in the NATO youth summit.\nStrasbourg/Kehl as the place of the NATO summit on its 60th anniversary has been chosen as a symbolic place on the border between France and Germany, thus stressing one of the NATO\u2019s missions \u2013 establishing peace, security and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area. During the summit 28 leaders of the NATO member countries discussed such issues as the progress of NATO\u2019s strategy for Afghanistan and the results of the strategy review undertaken by the new US Administration, relations with Russia, France\u2019s closer involvement in the Alliance and its impact on NATO-EU relations, and finally initiating work on a new strategic concept for the Alliance.\nA meeting with the NATO Secretary General Mr. Jaap de Hoope Scheffer could be named as the one of the most interesting and important events during the NATO Youth Summit, where he, addressing young leader from NATO member states and its partners, pointed to the three central issues: 1) NATO should cooperate more with the international organisations; 2) NATO has to transform its military capability till 2020 and 3) NATO needs to expand further and become a forum for political debate. Answering the question asked by Latvian young leader Uldis \u0160alajevs on what kind of specific role would be for Baltic States to strengthen NATO, Secretary General pointed that in NATO all nations are equal members and Baltic state do not have a specific role, but they are respected, distinguished members of the Alliance. He also stressed that NATO member states should find their own \u201eniche\u201d and \u201eadded value\u201d to the Alliance. The second important meeting in the framework of the Youth Summit was with the president of the United States Barack Obama.\nAccording to Uldis \u0160alajevs \u201cthe goal of the NATO Youth Summit \u2013 to discuss the development of NATO till the year 2020 \u2013 has not been fully reached, because in general young leaders from 57 countries discussed the current issues of the NATO agenda. I think that NATO in the following 10 years should increase its role as the collective security provider and find adequate response to the new security threats (terrorism, scarse nature resources, climate change etc.)\u201d\nIn his turn, Arvils Zelti\u0146\u0161 writes that \u201cin general Youth Summit has justified itself. Disregarding that the majority of youngsters represented the United States, France and Germany, self-glorification in honor of the NATO 60th anniversary receded to the background. NATO-led operation in Afghanistan with its critical assessment and firm determination to continue has been brought to the forefront.\u201d The whole article written by Arvils Zelti\u0146\u0161 is available (in Latvian) here.\nThis year NATO Youth Summit is organised by the NATO Public Diplomacy Division, Atlantic Treaty Association, Youth Atlantic Treaty Association, the Atlantic Council of the United States, l\u2019Ecole Nationale D\u2019Administration (ENA) and l\u2019Office Franco-Allemand pour la Jeunesse (OFAL).\nLatvian Transatlantic organisation and Latvian Transatlantic Youth Club are the national coordinators in Latvia.\nPhotos from the Youth Summit\nNATO Youth Summit Programme\nIntroductory remarks by Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Bureau, NATO Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy at the opening of the Youth Forum\nKeynote address by NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer at the Youth Forum\nQ&A session with NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer at the NATO Youth Forum\nYouth discussion \u201cLatvia in NATO \u2013 5 years experience\u201d\n\u00a9 Laila Bajare (Valsts agentura \"Tevijas sargs\")\n29th of March 2009 marked the 5th anniversary of Latvia\u2019s accession to NATO. Therefore it is important to understand and assess what has been achieved in those 5 years, what Latvia has gained acceding to NATO, and what should we do in the future to strengthen Latvia\u2019s security.\nIn order to facilitate an open dialogue about Latvia\u2019s 5 years experience in NATO and Latvia\u2019s security aspects not only between decision makers and young people, but also among young people themselves, Latvian Transatlantic organisation, Latvian Transatlantic Youth Club and Youth Organisation of Latvia\u2019s People\u2019s Party in cooperation with the Ministry of Defence of Latvia on March 25 16:30-19:30 organised a discussion \u201cLatvia in NATO \u2013 5 years experience\u201d. The discussion was held in the hall of the Ministry of Defence of Latvia, Kr. Valdemara str. 10/12, Riga.\nIn the first part of the discussion young people were addressed by State Secretary of Defence Mr. J\u0101nis S\u0101rts, Chairperson of the Defence, Internal Affairs and Corruption Prevention Committee of the Saeima Mr. Juris Dalbi\u0146\u0161, Depujty Commander of the National Armed Forces of Latvia Brigadier General Juris Kikukuc\u0101ns and Retd. Brigadier General Dr.habil.sc.ing. K\u0101rlis Kr\u0113sli\u0146\u0161. Distinguished speakers not only introduced the audience with Latvia\u2019s experience in NATO during the last 5 years, but also answered numerous questions about Latvia\u2019s security and defence in the framework of NATO.\nIn the second part of the discussion 36 Latvian youngsters, who were representing various universities, youth non-governmental organisations and youth organisations of political parties, were discussing among themselves Latvia\u2019s 5 years experience of membership into NATO, trying to understand and give the answer to the question \u2013 whether Latvia\u2019s membership in NATO facilitated its security.\nThe discussion was unique as it brought together young representatives from almost all youth organisations active in the field of international relations and security issues, including representatives from Latvian Transatlantic Youth Club, Youth Organisation of Latvia\u2019s People\u2019s Party, youth branch of the \u201cNew Era\u201d party, youth branch of the bloc \u201cfor Fatherland and Freedom/LNNK\u201d, youth organisation of the \u201cHarmony Centre\u201d party \u2013 PATRIOTI.LV, youth organisation of the bloc \u201cLatvian First Party/Latvia\u2019s Way\u201d \u2013 association \u201cPirmie\u201d, party \u201cAll for Latvia\u201d, Latvian Conservative Youth Union, youth branch of the \u201cLatvia\u2019s Farmers Union\u201d party, party \u201cCivic Union\u201d and others.",

The technology can be used for purposes of scientific simulation in fields such as physics, biology, or chemistry. For example, Stanford University's Folding@home project (1) uses 3-D simulations and distributed computing to study protein folding, misfolding, aggregation, and related diseases. Three-D simulations can also be used to observe phenomena that would normally be impossible to scrutinize in detail, as is demonstrated on this website on Nanorobotics (2). This next website describes work by the Robotics Research Group (3) in using 3-D simulations to enhance undergraduate and graduate engineering education. The EdCenter (4) makes available several compressed files of 3-D simulations that model earthquake data, Mars, a San Diego Fly Through, and more. On this website (5 ), Martin Baker provides \"all you need to know about 3D theory\" and this website (6) provides access to a free open-source software package which \"makes it easy to build 3-D simulations of decentralized systems and artificial life.\" This last article from Cyberbotics, Ltd.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Business \u00bb FDI could rise to $1bn on Essar deal\nFDI could rise to $1bn on Essar deal\nPosted by: Tinashe Gwatidzo in Business, Top News Story June 26, 2014\t0 2,069 Views\nTHE Zimbabwe Investment Authority seeks to attract $2 billion Foreign Direct Investment per annum, with the authority expecting $1 billion flows this year if the long-standing Essar deal becomes operational, its chairman said. This was after the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development showed that Zimbabwe\u2019s foreign direct investment in 2013 was near flat at $400 million and 19,3 percent of the gross fixed capital formation. The FDI is the lowest in the SADC region.\nZIA chairperson Mr Nigel Chanakira said the authority has already approved foreign projects valued at more than $400 million this year. Speaking at the launch of the World Investment Report 2014, Mr Chanakira said the authority has seen an increase in investment inquiries even from British and American investors.\n\u201cWe will be able to relatively, modestly attract at least $2 billion per annum and that\u2019s the target we set for ourselves,\u201d said Mr Chanakira.\n\u201cThis year alone we have 162 investment approvals and we are already at the $400 million mark in terms of approvals this year. Already our expectation of saying we will hit $1 billion mark this year is realistic based on projections.\nMr Chanakira said Government should clarify economic policies in order to create certainty which investors consider as one of the most important indicators.\n\u201cBut it is next year, once they have clarified the Special Economic Zones and the policy on indigenisation, from our projects we should move in the range of the $2 billion mark,\u201d said Mr Chanakira.\nZIA head of operations Mr Sichoni Takoleza said there was a difference in the ZIA and UNCTAD calculations. \u201cZIA measures the approvals that would have been done while UNCTAD records when an investment has already started groundwork.\n\u201cSometimes you can give approvals which take three to five years to be operational. This is why there is a flat line in the investment inflows in the country; not that investment has not been coming in.\u201d\nDeputy Minister of Finance Dr Samuel Undenge in a speech read on his behalf said Government is working on improving the investment climate in order to attract FDIs.\nThe Government is crafting an Investment Policy which should give a policy direction on investing in Zimbabwe and developing a Joint Venture Legislative Framework. The JV legislation framework is expected before the end of the year.\n\u201cThe JV legislation framework is almost complete now and is at the Attorney General\u2019s Office. The process is being hastened,\u201d he said.\nThe Government is also establishing Special Economic Zones which offer preferential treatment to investors who qualify into the SEZs. This should in the process address some barriers to investment while attracting the much needed FDI.\nHe said prioritising investment for rehabilitation and development of infrastructure, necessary for supporting and attracting investment, driving the economy and enhancing efficiency of the productive sectors becomes critical.\n\u201cTherefore, addressing the doing business environment is a key factor in attracting and promoting investment,\u201d he said.\nThe World Investment Report has made suggestions to stimulate private sector investment in sustainable development which include; developing a new generation of investment promotion and facilitation, SDG oriented investment incentives, regional SDG Investment Compacts, new forms of partnership for SDG investments, among others.\nThe report also suggests enabling innovative financing mechanisms and a re-orientation of financial markets and changing the business mind-set and developing SDG investment expertise.\nPrevious: $1 billion China loan for Mnangagwa\u2019s Zimbabwe revival\nNext: Luis Su\u00e1rez banned for four months for biting opponent in World Cup clash",

I really enjoy those franchises, but I feel like I\u2019ve already seen what they have to offer, and I\u2019m excited for something a little different in 2015.\n#10: INSIDE OUT\nI love Pixar movies and the trailer looks really cute.\n#9: CRIMSON PEAK\nI am excited about anything Guillermo del Toro is directing.\n#8: UNTITLED SPIELBERG COLD WAR SPY THRILLER\nI know nothing about this film except that it\u2019s directed by Spielberg, stars Tom Hanks, and is about a cold war spy. \u2018Nuff Said.\n#7: JURASSIC WORLD\nI am very scared of being let down by this movie. But it still hits my top 10. Because Jurassic Park.\n#6: THE HATEFUL EIGHT\nBecause Quentin Tarantino.\n#5: CHAPPIE\nNeill Blomkamp is one of my favorite new directors. District 9 is one of the best Sci-fi movies I\u2019ve ever seen. I also really enjoyed Elysium despite unfavorable reviews. I\u2019m very excited to see his next film.\n#4: THE MARTIAN\nI still have faith in Ridley Scott despite his recent string of movies. I haven\u2019t read this book yet, but it is rated one of the best of the year. Also \u2014 Matt Damon.\n#3: 007: SPECTRE\nI love James Bond. I grew up watching these movies with my grandparents. I\u2019m in the Daniel Craig camp. I think this new era of James Bond movies are fantastic \u2014 with Casino Royale being one of my favorite movies of all time. I don\u2019t know a whole lot of details about Spectre, but it\u2019s #3 on this list because \u2014 James Bond.\n#2: MAD MAX: FURY ROAD\nI really love the original Mad Max movies. The fact this new one is from the same creator and an all-star cast has me really excited. But perhaps the most exciting thing about it was the trailer. Which is probably not only the best trailer of the year, but maybe the best trailer I have ever seen.\n#1: STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS\nI have never felt more anticipation for a movie in my life. Maybe that statement isn\u2019t totally true. But that is how I feel right now. My entire childhood evolved around the original three films, and the trailer brought back those feelings. Not the prequel feels\u2026 but the original feels. I can not wait to see this movie opening night.\nPrevious PostPrevious 12pt\u2019s Best Movies of 2014\nNext PostNext 12ptCourier\u2019s Top Posts of 2014",

        "title": "Another amazing Young Authors\u2019 Workshop in the books - 826 Valencia",
        "raw_content": "By Kathy Nim, Educational Programming Intern\nOn Friday, August 10, voices echoed in the Tenderloin Center as students in the ten-day intensive writing camp, the Young Authors\u2019 Workshop (YAW), prepared for their performances. For the past two weeks, these high school students from all over the Bay Area had collaborated with each other alongside a team of interns and volunteer mentors to craft and workshop literary pieces that varied from poetry to fiction.\nTo kickstart each day of the program, we began with icebreaker games such as \u201ctelephone\u201d or improv walks, to name a few. Each day was filled with morning and afternoon writing activities curated and led by guest speakers or interns. For example, one guest speaker, Lila Cutter, facilitated a portrait-writing workshop where students paired together to draw a portrait of their partner and practiced creating detailed pieces. To end our days, reflections were facilitated by interns, varying from \u201csix-word memoirs\u201d to \u201cshout-outs\u201d or appreciations.\nSlowly, on that final Friday afternoon, family members, friends, and 826 staff members entered the Tenderloin Center to celebrate with the YAW team and students. Patiently sitting in their seats, students waited to read their final products aloud. Their pieces had gone through multiple phases of revision for this exact moment. The stage was adorned with a mic and a speaker so the audience could hear each piece loud and clear. The treehouse behind the stage was decorated with collages that students created during a field trip and posters with community agreements collaboratively created on the first day of programming. A great sense of accomplishment enveloped the room. Intern Nataly Madrid perfectly explained this sentiment: \u201cWe are so proud of the students!\u201d\nEleventh-grade student Lilian D. opened the celebration with her mystically detailed piece inspired by a picture of a boarded-up window in which she described as having \u201ca sense of a hazy, empty hope.\u201d An array of topics were read aloud, from personal narratives about having to leave home to fictional stories of living in a dream world, all of which were praised with cheers, claps, and snaps. Eleventh-grade student, Zachary E., who returned to YAW for the second year in a row, closed our celebration with his eclectic social commentary piece. His wordplay bounced off the walls as he proclaimed, \u201cGoodbye reality. / Hello to casualties. / Hello to bad government breaking families.\u201d\nAs our celebration came to a close, hugs and thanks were given, and many pictures were taken to commemorate this day as well as the past two weeks as a community. Besides learning about different writing styles, both the YAW team and students were able to learn more about each other. Eleventh-grade student Simone S. reflected on her time with YAW and expressed, \u201cI learned how to express and write in a clearer way, I became fond of other ways I can write (poetry, etc.). I also got to learn about others and information about their opinions, thoughts, and lives.\u201d Although the program was only two weeks, the small ratio of students-to-tutor created an intimate space to learn about each other\u2019s stories, both personal and writing-related.\nAll of this would not have been possible without the dedication of interns, volunteers, 826 staff Dana and Molly, and most importantly, the students who worked tirelessly each day to challenge their writing abilities. Keep a lookout for this year\u2019s YAW chapbook, Life Once Again Fills my Lungs to see the students\u2019 pieces!",

        "raw_content": "Even as anarchy seems to spread like wildfire to every corner of the globe, the most vociferous defenders of liberal democracy seem to retreat ever deeper into abject denial. One recent example: When the mother of Columbine shooter Dylan Klebold was asked in an interview whether she believed in the existence of evil, she paused then replied, \u201cNo, I don\u2019t think so. I don\u2019t think I do.\u201d But what really sent a chill down my spine watching that clip was her utter, and I believe genuine, sincerity. Obviously there had to be a disconnect from reality somewhere in her process of logic. Nor am I singling out Ms. Klebold who, I believe, is only echoing a more widespread disconnect that seems to have pervaded the entire Western society.\nHeadlines daily confirm the reality of existential evil at every level, and yet it seems that all the media and political classes want to do is to shift the discussion to social conditions, poverty, guns. or mental illness. The one subject that is rarely raised in any of these discussions is morality, specifically personal moral responsibility. How did we land in this quagmire? Meanwhile acts of indiscriminate violence spiral out of control worldwide. Expanded personal freedoms were supposed to liberate the human spirit and usher in a new era of happiness and peace. Instead they appear to have brought society to the brink of political and social anarchy.\nI believe this phenomenon is only symptomatic of a deeper malaise systemic to our modern liberal democracies. The exaltation of the individual, via an ever expanding \u201cculture of rights,\u201d has, in fact, produced a kind of spiritual anarchy which now reigns in the souls of countless men and women. It is precisely the failure of our democratic systems to hold \u201cfree spirits\u201d morally accountable that permits and encourages individuals to indulge in ever more destructive behaviors. In short a secularized, personalized type of moral relativism has been steadily the undoing of the West, and by extension the whole world. If a woman is permitted to butcher an innocent child in her womb then why should the jihadist flinch at butchering a hoard of innocent bystanders on a beach? The only difference is the body count, but the principle remains the same. If we refuse to identify evil for what it is close to home then it will inevitably filter into other places that we never imagined. Warping or bending the truth to suit our own ends will invariably backfire. Truth is an objective reality, not some relativistic proposition. So in order to live in an orderly, peaceful world it becomes essential to subscribe to an absolute, not merely relativistic, truth.\nBut is there such a thing as absolute truth? Well, if the mind can apprehend the idea of truth, that in itself is a pretty good clue that such a thing may well exist. For if truth does not really exist then what is the point of our possessing such inquisitive and complex minds? The object which the mind naturally seeks out is truth, just as the object which the heart invariably seeks out is love. Truth and love then are what we as humans naturally desire. In a sense they become our deepest connection with reality.\nTruth speaks to the mind just as love speaks to the heart, and in fact these are the only two things that have the power to mend our broken world, Truth and Love. Not surprisingly, these are also the two primary attributes of God who is both all truthful and all loving. It is only mankind\u2019s retreat away from the one true God, who revealed himself in the Incarnation, that has brought us to the present crisis. Every evil action in the world today can be rightly ascribed to a lack of truth, a lack of love, or both. To deny truth or to deny love, even in those little activities of life, is to deny the all good God. The consequences of such denials are that evil will fill the void where truth and love were meant to be.\nThe greatest threat to our existence may not be the modern terrorist but the modern skeptic whose denial of absolute truth has had a toxic effect on today\u2019s world. If truth is only relative, then morality itself is equally plastic and relative. By asserting mankind\u2019s faith to be in \u201cprogress\u201d over faith in God, skeptics have bequeathed us a world of increasing uncertainty about our loving God, about ourselves, even about reality itself. That perhaps explains why the mother of a mass killer can innocently, though irrationally, muse about the non-existence of evil. Evil is real, but fortunately for us it is also transient. The only reality which is both unchanging and immortal is the objective reality of God. It is God, and not ourselves, who defines absolute reality. To deny God is de facto to deny reality itself.\nThe true battleground is not between terrorists and governments, socialists and capitalists, cops and criminals. It is between Truth and those who would deny or dissemble the Truth. We must choose which side of that spiritual battle line we intend to stand; which general we intend to follow. Truth, after all, is not just an idea it is a person, the Incarnate Word of God who himself proclaimed, \u201cI am the Way the Truth, and the Life.\u201d This is the greatest of all realities.\nRead my new book, Word Without End, The Mass, Splendor of the Incarnation, which can be ordered through piersonworks.com\nThis entry was posted in Social Critique and tagged klebold, Word Without End by Francis.

        "raw_content": "Motorcycle Accident Specialists in Leduc, Camrose & Cochrane\nThe number of accidents involving motorcyclists and other vehicles on Canada\u2019s roads has been steadily increasing over the past few years. Consequently, it\u2019s extremely important that both motorists and motorcyclists understand the risks that are involved when sharing Provincial roadways. Unfortunately, accidents happen without warning. So if you or a loved one is involved in this type of accident in Leduc, Camrose, or Cochrane, you could sustain serious or catastrophic injuries as a result.\nOnce you have received medical attention and are on the road to recovery, it\u2019s time to contact the BLPC AB Personal Injury Lawyer firm regarding your circumstances.

        "title": "Combined Heat and Power (CHP) | ACEEE",
        "raw_content": "Combined heat and power (CHP) systems, also known as cogeneration, generate electricity and useful thermal energy in a single, integrated system. CHP is not a technology, but an approach to applying technologies. Heat that is normally wasted in conventional power generation is recovered as useful energy, which avoids the losses that would otherwise be incurred from separate generation of heat and power. While the conventional method of producing usable heat and power separately has a typical combined efficiency of 45 percent, CHP systems can operate at levels as high as 80 percent.\nSee CHP Fact Sheet for more information.\nConventional generation is inherently inefficient, only converting on average about a third of the input fuel's potential energy into usable energy. Engineers have long appreciated the tremendous efficiency opportunity of combining electricity generation with thermal loads in buildings and factories, capturing much of the energy that would otherwise be wasted. When the word \"cogeneration\" was coined in the 1970s to describe this practice, the dominant configuration of systems was a boiler that generated steam, some of which was used to turn a steam turbine that generated electricity. Due to the cost and complexity of these systems, they were largely confined to systems of over 50 MW, thus precluding their installation at most manufacturing facilities. However, recent advances in electricity-efficient, cost-effective generation technologies\u2014in particular advanced combustion turbines and reciprocating engines\u2014have allowed for new configurations of systems that combine heat and power production, expanding opportunities for these systems and increasing the amount of electricity they can produce. These CHP systems now come in many more configurations, and can even satisfy compressed air requirements by bleeding high-pressure air off the compressor stage of a combustion turbine.\nNew turbines are now cost effective for systems down to 500 kW and reciprocating engines for systems down to 50 kW, dramatically expanding the number of sites where CHP can be installed. In fact, many existing industrial boilers can be re-powered with advanced generation equipment, replacing existing fuel burners and adding electricity generation capability while reducing pollutant emissions.\nNew generations of turbines and reciprocating engines are the result of an intensive collaborative research by government and industry that uses advanced materials and computer-aided design techniques that have dramatically increased equipment efficiency and reliability while reducing costs and pollutant emissions. These technologies, applied in CHP, are poised to satisfy a significant portion of the U.S.'s growing electricity needs, while continuing to meet our thermal demands. According to a 2012 joint report from the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), CHP currently makes up about 8 percent of U.S. total generating capacity. The present installed capacity of CHP in the U.S. is about 82 GW, and the Obama administration has set an official goal of 40 GW of additional CHP capacity by 2020. Additionally, as the U.S. EPA establishes new rules to reduce CO2 from power plants, CHP hasbeen identified as a critical tool to reduce CO2 cost-effectively.\nSeveral barriers impede the full realization of the country\u2019s CHP potential. These include electric utility rate structures that discourage utility investment in CHP, a lack of common and fair interconnection andnet metering standards, discriminatory utilitystandby rates, and emissions regulations that do not recognize the improved efficiency and pollution benefits of CHP systems.\nFor two decades ACEEE has been involved in CHP policy in all 50 states. Our seminal CHP publications include a2013 look at how CHP can confer value to electric and natural gas utilities,a 2012 study of how CHP could replace retiring coal plants in select states,2011 assessment of state-level barriers to CHP,2003 five-year retrospective assessment of CHP policies, a 2002 review and a 2003 review of state CHP activities, and a 2001 report on federal tax strategies to encourage the adoption of CHP. ACEEE also regularly tracks CHP-related regulations and policies in the clean distributed generation pages of ourState Energy Efficiency Policy Database and our annualState Energy Efficiency Scorecard. We are also active at the federal level in advocating for sound distributed generation policies.\n\u21d2 Learn about best practices for CHP policies and regulations with ACEEE's State Technical Assistance Toolkit.\nDistributed generation, also called on-site generation or decentralized generation, is the term for generation of electricity from sources that are near the point of consumption, as opposed to...\nNet metering is a policy that applies to small distributed generation systems, such as renewable technologies and small combined heat and power (CHP) systems, which allows system owners to receive...",

        "raw_content": "Job Site Dice Gambles on Comedy\nHopes to Tickle Techies With 'Lemmings' Revival, Dice Man Superhero\nBy Jonathan Lemonnier. Published on May 21, 2008 .\nNEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Branded entertainment has been a handy tool for online job-listing sites such as CareerBuilder, which generated a lot of buzz a couple of years ago with its Monk-e-mail offering. Hoping to replicate some of that online success is tech and engineering job site Dice, which starting next week will be the title sponsor of ManiaTV's newest offering: \"National Lampoon's The Lemmings,\" a re-imagining of the iconic 1970s Off-Broadway show that featured Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase and John Belushi early in their careers.\nDr. Drudgery (Mike Rosolio) and Dice Man (Andrew Goldenberg) will square off on 'National Lampoon's The Lemmings.' Credit: maniaTV\nDice will be rewarded for helping to resurrect the classic sketch-comedy show with the creation of Dice Man, a superhero character who saves people from taking jobs for which they are overqualified as he battles his nemesis Dr. Drudgery and his henchmen Dead End and Pink Slip. While the series had its debut May 19, Dice Man, played by Andy Goldenberg, is slated to make his first appearance May 26.\nCraving adulation\n\"Dice Man will be a recurring character like ['Saturday Night Live's'] cheerleaders or the nightclubbers from 'Night at the Roxbury,'\" said Amber J. Lawson, who is the show's head of comedy and executive producer and is responsible for the integration of plots and storylines for \"The Lemmings.\" \"We're hoping people will be anticipating his arrival on-screen the same way they do with those icons. It's keeping the integrity of our comedy, of National Lampoon, while seamlessly integrating the sponsor.\"\nManiaTV had been in discussions with National Lampoon over the show for some time, and once those talks turned official, it quickly brought Dice into the fold.\nThe Dice Man concept itself came from the show's writers. \"We certainly gave creative direction, guidelines, but we didn't want to micromanage the creative process,\" said Tom Silver, Dice's senior VP-marketing, adding that executives from Dice's agency of record, Publicis Modem, were present to guide the process. \"We laid out what we were trying to accomplish, what our objectives were, and let them do their magic. Their original pitch ideas sold us right away, and we'd had absolutely no input on those. Some of the original ideas they had were great.\"\nIt was a balancing act between two brands, said Zach Posner, VP-corporate development for National Lampoon. \"[Dice and ManiaTV] loved the concept of the show. Both have been very flexible in giving our writing staff the creative freedom they want in pursuing this,\" he said.\nGoing after geeks\nThis is Dice's first foray into branded entertainment. Its marketing efforts had so far focused almost exclusively online, with the exception of a presence at trade shows, and it had been looking for a new way to engage its target consumer, IT and engineering professionals. \"[Online] has worked very well for us,\" Mr. Silver said. \"Tech pros are different, and talking to them takes a different approach. ManiaTV is part of a new trend of online viewing, and our customers are those trendsetters. Our audiences are always finding new things to do online, and we want to be there with them when they discover 'The Lemmings' on ManiaTV.\"\nDice Man should get plenty of exposure right off the bat: ManiaTV gets nearly 4.1 million unique visitors a month, according to ComScore, while the National Lampoon network -- which is made up of more than 40 comedy sites, and is ranked as the No. 1 vertical comedy network on the web by ComScore -- pulls in around 5 million uniques. ManiaTV's commitment to platform neutrality means an untold number of mobile users will be added to the mix, along with any other compatible platforms.\nIndividual sketches from the hourlong webisode will be sown throughout the web, and drive the curious to the ManiaTV webpage devoted to \"The Lemmings.\" Bite-size pieces of the show have already been leaked to drive traffic. Plenty of Dice advertisements on the webpage and during transitions between sketches will allow viewers to click through to the Dice home page. And although details are still unfinished, viewers will also have the opportunity to submit their own versions of Dice Man's enemy henchmen, and a lucky few will see their ideas come to life during the sketch.\n\"Sixty-four percent of our viewers immediately research products on our network,\" said Peter Clemente, chief marketing officer, ManiaTV. \"Eighty percent talk about brand. We're delivering TV quality at internet costs, TV emotionality with web interactivity and measurability.\"\nIndeed, a dedication to higher production values raised expenses above your average web video, but the distribution cost, the near-indefinite shelf-life of the product and lack of a media buy is still a fraction of a TV equivalent.\n\"Content will always be king,\" Mr. Clemente said. \"The big opportunity is in integrating brands in a way consumers would enjoy and would protect brand integrity. The key is inviting the client brand into the creative process.\"\nJonathan Lemonnier",

        "raw_content": "Why The Blurring Lines Between Online And Offline Make The Physical World More Important Than Ever\nby Allison Schiff // Monday, December 14th, 2015 \u2013 12:15 am\nDavid R. Bell is a professor of marketing at the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Wharton School of Business. He will present his research at the upcoming Industry Preview 2016 conference in January at a session on the confluence of digital marketing and the real world.\nBy day, David R. Bell is a professor of marketing at the Wharton School of Business, where he developed its first course on digital marketing and ecommerce.\nBut he's also as an active investor in a growing portfolio of digital-first companies, including Warby Parker and Bonobos.\nHe keeps his eye on emerging digital commerce companies, too, players like Harry\u2019s (low-priced, high-quality shave products), Cotopaxi (socially conscious outdoor gear and apparel) and Dagne Dover (functional luxury handbags).\n\u201cThe digital economy is changing the nature of how people consume,\u201d he said.\nIt\u2019s also changing what\u2019s available for consumption and removing the imperative to own certain physical goods \u2013 automobiles in the case of Zipcar, nontraditional room rentals in the case of Airbnb.\n\u201cThe digital economy brings tremendous efficiency to a traditional economy where there was so much inefficiency,\u201d said Bell. \u201cWe have not seen the death of physical stores \u2013 rather, we\u2019re going to see them change. Retailers will need to think carefully about what the real world provides and what the digital world provides, and how they can be coupled together with customer need.\u201d\nAdExchanger caught up with Bell.\nAdExchanger: What do you look for when investing in a digital-first companies?\nDAVID R. BELL: These are companies that combine the Internet and commerce. They can sell to anyone in the entire country \u2013 but the fact is that just because they have high sales and activity in one location doesn\u2019t mean they will in another. What can these companies do to make people aware of them and expand their sales over time? It\u2019s an interesting question from a research point of view.\nWhat role does location play in an ecommerce company\u2019s success in one location and not another?\nPhysical location in ecommerce, by definition, dictates what options someone has in terms of commercial activity and entertainment, and that is going to affect the way they use the Internet.\nFor one, the populations of different locations tend to share similar demographics. The people in Philadelphia, for example, are more similar to each other than they are to people in Springfield, Illinois. Once you know someone\u2019s physical location, you can infer certain things about the characteristics of the people who live there \u2013 their income level, their education level and the population density, for example.\nSecondly, you know a bit about their preferences. If someone lives in a certain location, say, the Lower East Side, they probably enjoy particular things, like going out to the movies or visiting bars.\nLastly, if you know someone\u2019s physical location, you also know what their offline options are. If I\u2019m in a big city like New York, I have access to everything I could possibly want to buy, but I might need an app to tell me what\u2019s going on or where to go. But in a place like Iowa City, for example, there might only be two places to buy pants, so I\u2019m fairly likely to go to jeans.com.\nHow do you define the digital economy?\nHard goods are turning into soft goods, and there is a growing realization that a lot of the stuff that people used to own actually has limited utility to it. Research shows that consuming experiences rather than owning things is what makes people happy. A big driver of that at the moment is the phone and the connectivity it allows.\nWhat is the role of real-world marketing in an increasingly digital world?\nNinety percent of commerce still happens in a physical location, although it\u2019s also important to consider the influence funnel. Look at luxury products. Only about 4% are sold online, but roughly 50% of luxury purchases are influenced by online content.\nWhen you\u2019re seeing virtual world companies like Amazon and Google opening stores, that shows how important the real world still is.\nWhat do retailers need to be thinking about as they attempt to create that digital/real-world balance?\nIt\u2019s about information and it\u2019s about fulfillment and service. What does a customer need and what aspect of that need can optimally be offered online versus offline? From there, the marketing and the messaging will become far more clear.\nTake 1800contacts.com. In that case, there\u2019s no need to go to a store to get your contact lenses. But with glasses, people want to try them on, which is why Warby Parker will send people five pairs of glasses to try on in their homes for free.\nPart of your research is also around the concept of impulse buying and the importance of physical location in that decision. What is the interplay there?\nImpulsivity is all about removing the friction to purchase, whether that\u2019s payment or access. The same concept behind Amazon 1-Click is behind the idea of candy displays at the front of a store by the checkout counter. People naturally have impulsive tendencies.\nIs mobile making us even more impulsive?\nThe fact that I can be standing in a Starbucks on my phone looking at the latest and greatest products from Company X does make me more likely to buy something. At the very least, it\u2019s an increased level of exposure.\nLook at Uber. The fact that you don\u2019t have to feel the pain of paying for a cab makes people more likely to use the service. There is no friction and you only notice the payment when you get your credit card statement.\nAs the barriers continue to be removed, I can envision a world where consumers will deliberately try to create control mechanisms for themselves \u2013 for example, a payment solution on a phone like Apple Pay that is automatically disabled when someone has reached a certain level of spending.\nAshlee Andersen December 14, 2015\n\"Research shows that consuming experiences rather than owning things is what makes people happy.\" - I don't believe this for a second. What research shows this?\nAllison Schiff December 15, 2015\nThanks for the comment, Ashlee. This Harris/Eventbrite study might be interesting to check out on that subject: http://eventbrite-s3.s3.amazonaws.com/marketing/Millennials_Research/Gen_PR_Final.pdf\nPatrick van Schie December 15, 2015\nThe statement that user-ship might have prevalence over ownership is very interesting. There are definitely many examples, whereby we do see that the experience is the leading consumer dimension (e.g. also music, books). However, I believe that this is particularly true for products that have a reference to the higher dimensions in the Maslow-Pyramid, like self-actualisation. For those consumer-needs that relate to the lower dimensions of the Maslow-pyramid the urge for ownership will be and remain much higher. The main reason is that this relates to higher levels of personal security and safety.",

        "raw_content": "Should My Cease-and-Desist Letter Be Funny?\nBy Paul Fling on December 18, 2018\nChances are you have seen rumblings of creative, even (dare I say) funny cease-and-desist letters, particularly those aimed towards trademark or copyright infringement, popping up in the news. You know the ones: an actor playing a town crier pops in on a local brewery to read a cease-and-desist letter in \u2018ye olde English; or a popular fast food joint sends a pun-filled letter to a local brewery demanding they cease from using the restaurant\u2019s trademarked image. These kinds of cease-and-desist letters, especially in the copyright and trademark context, are becoming all the more prevalent.\nBut is this the best way to demand an entity stop infringing on your trademark? As anything goes, such a strategy can have very real pros, and very real cons.\nFirst, a little background into what exactly cease-and-desist letters are, and the purposes they serve. Generally, a cease-and-desist letter is a notice to the entity receiving it that the activity they are participating in may be illegal, or more particularly in the case of copyright and trademark infringement, that their activity infringes. Although a cease-and-desist letter has no immediate legal effect, the entity receiving the letter may not use the excuse that it did not know the sending party believed its behavior was illegal, as the letter put it on notice of its potentially illegal activity. Notably for the sake of copyright and trademark infringement, if the entity persists in its illegal behavior after receiving the letter, such notice may aid in proving intent, willfulness, and bad faith.\nAlthough cease-and-desist letters are often thought of as sternly worded letters from stuffy attorneys, creative and humorous cease-and-desist letters can have real benefits for a company. As alluded to above, creative cease-and-desist letters have received especially beneficial PR as of late. As companies become more and more of an open book in this age of social media and online news, crafting creative ways to assert a company\u2019s legal rights helps show that the company is amiable, fair, and all in all fun. Not to mention, such exposure can turn in to free and hopefully beneficial press.\nHowever, creative cease-and-desist letters must be drafted the right way, as they also carry credible risk. For one, if the creativeness is taken over the top, the recipient of the letter may not take it seriously. Ultimately, cease-and-desist letters are meant to be taken seriously and cause the recipient to stop its infringing action\u2014if the recipient thinks the letter is simply a joke, it may continue on engaging in its infringing behavior. In that same vein, if the humor placed in the letter misses the mark, or muddles the issue, the recipient may have an argument that it was in fact not on notice of its allegedly infringing behavior. Finally, straightforward cease-and-desist letters are often quiet and discrete. By issuing a humorous letter, a company is taking a risk and opening itself up to potential public scrutiny. However, if a company is able to strike that perfect balance between informative and humorous, it is potentially a worthwhile risk to take.\nAll in all, creative and humorous cease-and-desist letters, if done right, are largely beneficial in the copyright and trademark infringement context. If you decide to send such a letter, make sure to do it right, and of course try to have the wittiest attorney you know write the letter for you (although some say witty attorneys are few and far between).",

        "title": "[BLOG] Shaping Value to Enter Emerging Markets Like Africa",
        "raw_content": "[BLOG] Shaping Value to Enter Emerging Markets Like Africa\nIn Redefining Business in the New Africa, I shared about leveraging trust networks to do business in Africa, offering a straight-forward framework. But, I also noted that trust is not enough. Leveraging any network in global business needs to incorporate value and trust, hence, the name \u201ctrust-value\u201d networks.\nIn trust-value networks, the aim is to have high trust/high value networks. Networks with high trust and low value, or low trust and high value, are not healthy and have problems growing in an organic fashion. In today\u2019s world of rapid change, only networks and organizations that can move fluidly and dynamically will remain strong.\nLet\u2019s look at a few basic concepts related to value to start. First, an economy is driven by delivery of something of value to end consumers \u2013 things that they cannot do or produce for themselves, or prefer not to. When a consumer finds something of value that he or she wants or needs, the person transacts an exchange to acquire that value. The currency of the exchange can vary from money to information to resources to other tangible assets. In the end, however, a value exchange has occurred.\nSecond, it\u2019s important to know that value is defined by what the consumer perceives not you as the provider of that value. In general, we can say that the higher the value the more people will pay for it. However, in strained economies and emerging markets, you need to factor in how much people are willing and able to pay. People may think what you provide is of high value, but they may also think the price is too high to acquire it or they cannot afford it.\nThird, businesses are responsible for adding value to consumers, but that should translate to revenue and profit for the businesses. The other part of the equation is that businesses need to educate consumers on the value they bring. You can have a great product, but if consumers don\u2019t know about it, don\u2019t understand it, and/or don\u2019t know the value it brings them you cannot tap into the potential of the market.\nThere are three waves of expressing value to others \u2013 all benefits, favorable points of difference compared to your competitors, or key differentiators that provide the greatest value to the customer.[1] The first wave, all benefits, focuses on translating all features of a product or service to language that expresses the benefits to the customer. The key question answered is \u201cWhy should the customer purchase your offering?\u201d\nThe second wave, favorable points of difference, focuses on identifying all favorable points of differences between your offerings and that of your competitors. It builds on what you have done in the first wave. The key question answered is \u201cWhy should the customer purchase your offering instead of a competitor\u2019s?\u201d\nThe third wave, key differentiators, focuses on identifying the one or two points of difference that provide the customer the greatest value and on which your competitors cannot match or exceed you. It builds on what you have done in the first and second wave. The key question answered is \u201cWhat is the most worthwhile, distinct, and unique aspects of your offering that customers should keep in mind?\u201d\nIf you haven\u2019t noted already, this is a process. You must first understand and be able to communicate all benefits of your offering, then you must understand and be able to communicate the differences in favor of you against your competitors. Then finally, you can hone or refine to a few key differentiators that make you stand out amongst all the competitors. All of this is based on dynamics, e.g., customer characteristics, of the market in which you want to enter. For example, customer characteristics differ in Africa compared to Europe or North America. So, the importance of being able to adapt the expression of your value to different customer segments or markets is important.\nThrough this process you are conceptualizing and formulating a value proposition. The basic definition of a value proposition is the total package of benefits a customer receives for paying you. However, as I have stressed before, you want to focus on unique competitive space (UPS), so you want to create a unique value proposition (UVP).\nNote that you may have offerings that offer very similar benefits to those of your competitors, however, the way you package, or configure, them may create that UVP. In this case, you want to try to make it something that competitors cannot easily duplicate, at least in the short run. This is where leveraging your strengths help you create UVP that your competitors find it difficult to compete with.\nThe unique configurations of offerings you create, based on your strengths, can give you an edge over competitors. Networks in which your organization is a significant member is an example. In our case, we have developed good partnerships with networks that others have ignored or haven\u2019t served well. This is another point about creating UVP \u2013 also create your own unique market in the open space no one else is serving appropriately.\nIn Africa, there are more obvious open spaces in markets than in any other region, I think. There are enormous amounts of valuable assets that are underdeveloped in Africa \u2013 human capital, land, water, etc. Africa\u2019s problem is not poverty, but wealth potential that is lying fallow because it hasn\u2019t been developed.\nOne example is mangos that grow wild in several countries in Africa like Mozambique and Sierra Leone. Each season mangos rot because they are not harvested and processed. In Sierra Leone, Juice Felix developed a processing plant to transform these mangoes into juice which is sold in the local markets because there is strong demand. The supply chain incorporates villages in which the wild mangos typically go to waste because they are not good to eat, but are suitable for juice. Juice Felix has added value to what was going to waste while bringing revenue to poor communities.\nThere is tremendous potential for small and large enterprises that can operate in the open space in Africa. Being able to do so is actually a competitive advantage itself.\nTaking this approach will help you accelerate entrance into markets anywhere on the globe. It will also save you finances and resources to ramp up against competitors. If you top it off with strong partners, who can help deliver the market to you, you are way ahead.\nFeatured image is wild mangos, an example of raw products that can be transformed into value to tap open market spaces.

        "raw_content": "This is my first contribution to the Accretionary Wedge geology themed community blog. Charles Carrigan over at Earth-like Planet is hosting this months topic where he posts the question, \"how do you perceive technology impacting the work that you do?\" My perception of technology has matured, and will likely continue to change, but here are a few ways in which technology works for us at Agile.\nI was at a session in December where one of the activities was to come up with one (and only one) defining superpower. A comic-bookification of my identity. What is the thing that defines you? The thing that you are or will be known for? It was an awkward experience for most, a bold introspection to quickly pull out a memorable, but not too cheesy, superpower that fit our life. I contemplated my superhuman intelligence, and freakish strength... too immodest. The right choice was invisibility. That's my superpower. Transparency, WYSIWYG, nakedness, openness. And I realize now that my superpower is, not coincidentally, aligned with Agile's approach to technology.\nFor some, technology is the conspicuous interface between us and our work. But conspicuous technology constrains your work, ordains it even. The real challenge is to use technology in a way that makes it invisible. Matt reminds me that how I did it isn't as important as what I did. Making the technology seem invisible means the user must be invisible as well. Ultimately, tools don't matter\u2014they should slip away into the whitespace. Successful technology implementation is camouflaged.\nI is for iterate\nTechnology is not a source of ideas or insights, such as you'd find in the mind of an experienced explorationist or in a detailed cross-section or map. I'm sure you could draw a better map by hand. Technology is only a vehicle that can deliver the mind's inner constructs; it's not a replacement for vision or wisdom. Language or vocabulary has nothing to do with it. Technology is the enabler of iteration.\nSo why don't we iterate more in our scientific work? Because it takes too long? Maybe that's true for a hand-drawn contour map, but technology is reducing the burden of iteration. Because we have never been taught humility? Maybe that stems from the way we learned to learn: homework assignments have exact solutions (and are done only once), and re-writing an exam is unheard of (unless you flunked it the first time around).\nWhat about writing an exam twice to demonstrate mastery? What about reading a book twice, in two different ways? Once passively in your head, and once actively\u2014at a slower pace, taking notes. I believe the more ways you can interact with your media, data, or content, the better work will be done. Students assume that the cost required to iterate outweighs the benefits, but that is no longer the case with digital workflows. Embracing technology's capacity to iterate seemlessly and reliably is what a makes a grand impact in our work.\nAgile strives to be open as a matter of principle, so when it comes to software we go for open source by default. Matt wrote recently about the applications and workstations that we use.\nJuly 31, 2012 / Evan Bianco/ 6 Comments\ncomputing, openness, technology, work",

So when the opportunity arose to design Agincourt\u2019s Episcopal (i.e., Anglican) church it was bound to have been influenced by the full range of my exposure to designs for late 19th century Episcopal churches around the world.\nAs Britons spread the \u201cPax Britannia\u201d the Anglican church was part and parcel of that process. George Hersey and Phoebe Stanton, for example, each wrote excellent studies of the evolution of \u201chigh church\u201d Anglican prototypes as a sort of corporate image for the denomination half a world away from England\u2019s \u201cgreen and pleasant land.\u201d It was Hersey, I think, who postulated two varieties of the Gothic Revival as it found itself in places disparate from the idyllic countryside of Gloucestershire: when church-builders found themselves in heavily wooded territory, theirs was the \u201chyperborean\u201d model; in areas where stone predominated, it was \u201cspeluncular\u201d. The Gothic Revival was so adaptable that it served well in the forests of New Zealand or the plains of the Punjab. Comparatively speaking, North American was a cakewalk.\nEmmanuel Chapel at Manchester-by-the-Sea was built in the 1880s as a parish church but reduced to summer chapel status in recent years. It\u2019s charm is entrancing, a setting for Miss Marple to solve the vicar\u2019s mysterious death from deadly nightshade. The bell cote was a less expensive substitute for a tower, and the \u201chalf timbering\u201d may have been real, rather than more typical applique in the 1920s.

        "raw_content": "I was home helplessly watching my child\u2019s health decline. Surely this could not be happening. She had just recovered from surgery to alleviate the chronic aspiration that had nearly claimed her life and landed her in the ICU 5 times in the previous 9 months. I was heartbroken and my spirit was heavy. I asked God \u201c Will you please just have mercy on us????!!\u201d I was wallowing in self-pity. I was angry that my child continued to suffer. I felt I could no longer bear up under this burden. And then The Lord spoke into my spirit this quiet rebuke\u2026 \u201cYou know nothing of My mercy.\u201d\nI suddenly found my mind flashing images of the immense suffering around the world. Children abandoned, starving, prostituted and killed. Christians worshipping in secret, fearing for their lives and being murdered for refusing to renounce their faith. Ravaging disease, homelessness, acts of terror. The list goes on and on\u2026.\nAnd then came the words from others who had been encouraged in their faith. Countless people who spoke of the comfort and joy they found in hearing of the many times my Lily had been rescued from the brink of death by a good and loving God. Countless people who had found courage and peace from our testimony\u2026\u2026.\nAnd finally the truth that I know deep in my heart came rushing to the surface. The truth is my greatest moments in this life have been lived at the feet of Jesus, desperate for Him. The moments where I have reached the end of myself and could simply rest in the hands of my ever capable Father. The truth is my child is more than a conqueror. She has done more for the kingdom of God in her young life than I could ever hope to do in ten life times. Her testimony has reached thousands of people. Her testimony has helped to save babies from abortion. Her testimony moves people, Christian and non-Christian alike. The truth is in my flesh I know nothing of His tender mercies but in my heart of hearts I know them to be good and true. The truth is if my child must leave this place and move on to glory she will have received the greatest mercy of all. The truth is if I allow God\u2019s will to reign in my life I will be reunited with her, perfected in glory, for all eternity. Oh what a merciful God He is!!!!\nNext postWhy A Kiss on the Lips?\n1 thought on \u201cA quiet rebuke\u201d\nEricka Quintana says:\nNancy this is so beautiful. In the short time I have known you and your family I have begone to realize how strong your faith is and how strong you all are as a mother and how strong and courageous lily is. I continue to pray for all of you. God bless and thank you for sharing",

        "raw_content": "Home Features Interviews Gold Dust Woman: A Q&A With Stevie Nicks\nGold Dust Woman: A Q&A With Stevie Nicks\nWritten By Lynne Margolis // September 1, 2011\nphoto by Kristin Burns\nThis is an extended version of the interview that appears in the September/October 2011 issue.\nWhen Stevie Nicks started her musical and romantic relationship with Lindsey Buckingham, both were still in high school. By the time the romance ended, the folk-pop duo were in one of the world\u2019s hottest bands, which also contained another splitting couple, John and Christine McVie, as well as drummer Mick Fleetwood, who also was in the throes of divorce. Their tangled, cocaine-addled lives\u2014and Nicks\u2019 affair with Fleetwood\u2014would become fodder for 1977\u2019s Rumours, one of the best-selling albums of all time. In the years since, Fleetwood Mac\u2019s members would go their own ways, only to come together again periodically. But of all their solo careers, Nicks\u2019 has been the most successful.\nHer string of hits, with and without Fleetwood Mac, represents one of pop music\u2019s most beloved canons: the list includes \u201cRhiannon,\u201d \u201cLandslide,\u201d \u201cDreams\u201d (a favorite topic), \u201cEdge of Seventeen,\u201d \u201cLeather and Lace\u201d (a duet with one-time lover Don Henley), \u201cStand Back\u201d and, with Tom Petty, \u201cStop Draggin\u2019 My Heart Around.\u201d Her gypsy/witchy-woman look\u2014Victorian-inspired gowns, high-heeled boots, leather and lace, silk and satin, romantic hats over long, blonde hair, all shown off with frequent stage twirls\u2014set a tone in the \u201870s from which she hasn\u2019t wavered to this day. Her songwriting methods hadn\u2019t changed much, either, till she called Dave Stewart and asked him if he\u2019d like to produce her first solo album in 10 years. Released in May, In Your Dreams contains the first song collaborations she\u2019s ever done with another writer while sitting in the same room, raw and open to anything.\nTheir output, it turns out, is remarkably strong. This time, she\u2019s inspired by soldiers, angels, vampires, New Orleans, Edgar Allen Poe and, of course, romantic notions\u2014past, present and future. (Both Buckingham and Fleetwood are on the album, along with guitarist Waddy Wachtel, with whom she\u2019d also reportedly been linked at one time.) Sometime writing partner Mike Campbell also participated. In a wide-ranging conversation, Nicks discusses her unusual methodology.\nYou\u2019ve written some of the most enduring songs in the pop-rock lexicon. I\u2019m sure you\u2019re very proud of that. How about if we start with Buckingham Nicks? \u201cFrozen Love\u201d was the biggest song that you two were known for as a team. Did you write that together?\nNo, I wrote it. Lindsey and I did not ever write a song together. The only\u2014strangely enough\u2014time I\u2019ve ever written a song with anybody is Dave Stewart.\nI mean anybody in the same room. I do write with [Heartbreaker] Michael Campbell, but he sends me a CD that has three or four tracks on it, so he\u2019s not sitting there. That\u2019s very different, because if you don\u2019t like it you can like wait three days and call and say, \u201cYou know, I just didn\u2019t see anything/hear anything right now, but I\u2019ll revisit it.\u201d So you can kind of get out of it without hurting anybody\u2019s feelings. That\u2019s a problem with writing songs with people\u2014you can really end up hurting peoples\u2019 feelings, because if you don\u2019t like it, you either get stuck with something you don\u2019t like or you\u2019re honest and you tell them you don\u2019t like it, and, it takes a very special team to be able to write together without that ego thing happening. So Lindsey and I never wrote. He would leave guitars all over our little house and they\u2019d all be tuned in different tunings and God knows what. He\u2019d be gone, I\u2019d write a song, I\u2019d record it on a cassette, and then I\u2019d put the cassette by the coffee pot and say, \u201cHere\u2019s a new song, you can produce it, but don\u2019t change it.\u201d Strict orders. \u201cDon\u2019t change it, don\u2019t change the words, don\u2019t change the melody. Just do your magic thing, but don\u2019t change it.\u201d\nDid you ever overcome that feeling that once it was done, nobody could touch it?\nNo. Very superstitious.\nHow does that translate into your songwriting? When it\u2019s done, it\u2019s done?\nIt\u2019s done\u2014pretty much. Sometimes when I write a song, I\u2019ll just write the first two verses and the chorus, and in my head I know I still have to write another verse, and maybe I\u2019ll do that down the line a couple weeks later or maybe even a month or two later, but it\u2019s very set in stone because\u2014I always have a tape recorder going, and usually the first time, if I\u2019m singing [sings] \u201cNow there you go again, you say you want your freedom /who am I to keep you down?\u201d\u2014I\u2019m not changing that. And I know it. The second it comes out of my mouth, I\u2019m like \u201cOh, that was good.\u201d So I have a little overhead lightbulb thing that goes off, so then I\u2019m never going to go back and change that even though a good example is Don Henley\u2014I was going out with Don Henley when I was writing \u201cDreams,\u201d and it says [sings], \u201cWhen the rain washes you clean, you\u2019ll know.\u201d Well, he didn\u2019t like that [sings]\u201cwashes you\u201d [accent on \u201ces\u201d], and he wanted me to go, \u201cWhen the rain washes you clean\u201d [accent on \u201cwash\u201d]. And I\u2019m like, \u201cNo, I don\u2019t like it.\u201d [laughs] And he\u2019s like, \u201cWell, wash-ES doesn\u2019t sound good,\u201d and I\u2019m like, \u201cWell, wash-ES is the way it\u2019s gonna be.\u201d So then you start getting into that with somebody, and we\u2019re talking an ego [of] a fantastic songwriter here. So I\u2019m arguing with Don Henley over this, you know? That\u2019s why I really stayed away from writing songs with other people.",

        "raw_content": "Today I want to rant about something that Americans do, which is not a good way to have an economy.\nYou may have heard of corporations not paying taxes, and that is true. It is legal for them to set up tax shelters overseas and funnel the money through them in order to avoid giving a dime to the US government.\nBut, did you know that in addition to not paying taxes, they get money from our taxes?\nReally, it\u2019s true.\nThe government just gives out money to large corporations. With a tax base of 350 million Americans, there\u2019s a lot of money to hand out. In 2002, the total amount of corporate subsidies jumped by $92 billion dollars.\nSo what is the excuse for this? Can there be a rational justification for giving away money to corporations?\nWell, their excuse is that they need the money in order to stay in business, and they have to stay in business to employ people.\nLet\u2019s skip over the fact that most large corporations employ very few Americans because they have moved their factories overseas. I mean, that is a fact, but it\u2019s a separate issue that we should also deal with (there can be more than one thing wrong at once.)\nAnyway, let us pretend that they do employ lots of Americans. And, because of this, they claim that they need financial support from the government in order to stay in business.\nIf that were true, here is what should also be true:\n1. The CEO makes only a small amount of money and no bonuses.\n2. The stockholders in the company see ZERO return on their investment.\n3. The business is in danger of immediate collapse.\nHowever, none of these conditions hold true. The CEOs make lots of money and gets millions of dollars in bonuses per year. The stockholders do see dividends each quarter. The businesses are not in danger of collapse.\nSo in fact, they do not need the money. They just want it so they can funnel their profits into each other\u2019s bank accounts while poor Americans pay the taxes that fund them.\nBut let\u2019s say that the above conditions were met, and the business was in danger of failing.\nWhy is that a bad thing in a Capitalist society where weak businesses are supposed to fail so that better business models can evolve?\nIf the invisible hand of the market is suppose to eliminate companies that do poorly so that we can have a healthier overall economy, then we should absolutely be letting that happen.\nDo you think, if Walmart disappeared, that no one would try to open a store that sold the same stuff as them? Do you think other, better companies that could support themselves without stealing from taxpayers would not appear?\nBut right now, they are stifled. Nothing new can evolve. Because, how could a mom and pop business ever compete with a corporation that is getting billions of dollars from the government for free just because they exist?\nSo we have created a market without competition, and all the companies that provide goods and services have a monopoly, because there are no subsidies for small businesses that may be created in an attempt to compete.\nTreat corporations just like small businesses. Make them pay taxes, and do not give them subsidies.\nI can\u2019t understand why we as a nation can\u2019t agree to see this as a priority. This is the biggest financial problem we currently face as a country, and no one even talks about it.\nPosted in Angry Rant.Tagged corporate subsidies, end corporate subsidies, make corporations pay taxes, why do they get free money?, why do we pay taxes to give rich people free money?, your taxes pay for this.\nPrevious Post Vaccinate Your Kids\nNext Post Climate Change",

        "raw_content": "Athletics commits $1 million to academics\nFAYETTEVILLE, Ark. \u2013 The University of Arkansas department of intercollegiate athletics will commit $1 million to support the university\u2019s academic mission during the 2009-10 fiscal year. Chancellor G. David Gearhart made the announcement during a news conference with Jeff Long, vice chancellor for intercollegiate athletics and director of athletics.\n\u201cThis is great news, and it could not come at a better time,\u201d said Gearhart. \u201cWe\u2019re all used to hearing bad news about the economy and about funding for universities across the country. But in these tough economic times our athletic director, Jeff Long, has made a commitment. As a result, today we can tell a very different kind of story.\n\u201cWe can talk about funding that will enhance the academic experience on this campus. We can say that Jeff Long\u2019s decision will be a prime factor in the university\u2019s ability to hold the line on tuition and fees: That for the first time in 24 years there will be no tuition increase at the University of Arkansas, and for the first time in 45 years we will not have a major fee increase.\n\u201cWe can also remind everyone of the fact that Razorback athletics is an integral part of the University of Arkansas and the academic community: We are one university and we all share the same mission.\u201d\n\u201cWe are honored to be able to commit these funds to the University of Arkansas,\u201d said Long. \u201cWhile we have always been very active in our support of the university community, our recent agreement with ISP for multimedia rights, the forecasted revenues from the new Southeastern Conference television agreement and our own cost containment measures implemented within athletics provided us a unique opportunity. We are grateful to the University of Arkansas administration, faculty and staff for their continued support of our more than 19,000 students. Razorback athletics remains committed to developing students academically, athletically and socially.\u201d\nGearhart said that the university administration will decide in the coming weeks how the $1 million will be spent, based on the university\u2019s 15 core institutional goals.\n\u201cWe have a number of areas of need, and the campus leadership will determine, as a group, where these funds will have the most impact,\u201d Gearhart said.\nThe chancellor said that perhaps the most extraordinary thing about this commitment from athletics is that it is really nothing new at the University of Arkansas. In past years the athletics department has given more than $300,000 to help support Mullins Library, restore Old Main and build the Pat Walker Health Center. Athletics currently provides nearly $1.2 million in annual support and resources for such university programs and organizations as the Razorback band, the graduate program in athletic training and the sports turf academic and research program.\nIn addition, athletics offers ticket discounts to faculty, staff and students and makes athletic facilities available to be used for student internships. The department subsidizes campus services in physical education and recreation, life skills and communication disorders, as well as the psychological services clinic and the human performance lab.\n\u201cWhen you consider all these together,\u201d Gearhart said, \u201cthe total annual support by athletics to the greater university community is nearly $4 million. I also want to make it clear that all of this funding comes from revenue generated through athletic endeavors. None of it comes from donor funds. Every penny of athletic donor contributions will always be used for its intended purpose to support our athletic program.\u201d\nThe department of intercollegiate athletics is financially self-sufficient and operates on support generated by ticket sales and other revenues generated by athletic related activities. The department does not receive funding from the state, from the university budget, or from any type of student fees to support its annual budget.",

        "raw_content": "\u201d I like to swap pictures around and often prop them on ledges rather put them on the wall\u201c, says Paula. Visitors are therefore in for a treat. Indeed, the family recently welcomed Spain\u2019s King Juan Carlos for a viewing of Ode to the Spanish Republic by Robert Motherwell, which references the Spanish Civil War.\nUnlike many collectors, who invest in art as decoration to fill bare walls, Sheikha Paula has erected walls for her art. \u201cOur house was built for the way we live as a family \u2013 it\u2019s not a stage set as we lives most of our lives at home \u2013 it is our heritage. I belive a home reflects who you are and for me it\u2019s important for a home to be truly comfortable\u201d, she says.\nIt is testament to this pragmatism that the collection is something of a moveable feast. With homes in Paris, London and New York as well as Kuwait, pieces are continually on loan to her family or in transit. \u201d I like to showcase Middle Eastern art in my New York home and American art in Kuwait\u201d. In the process she raises awareness of Middle Eastern artists, a cause which her daughter Lulu Al Sabah has embraced with aplomb. Lulu\u2019s initiative, JAMM, an independent art advisory is now its second year in Kuwait. The advisory auctions works by emerging and established Arab, Iranian and international artists to benefit the Kuwait Association for the Care of Children in Hospital.\nWhile acknowledging Middle Eastern art is very much \u201con trend\u201d, Paula is cautious, \u201cIt goes back to emerging eye and training your eye. I think you need to buy what you love because in many cases you are taking a risk. This is why it is important to know and trust your gallerist. A lot of Middle Eastern art is simply not good, so you need to be very carefully and to buy what you believe in.\u201d\nOn the subject of advisers, Paula is vociferous, \u201d A good gallerist will encourage young people and not intimidate them, and this goes for price too. It\u2019s a given in the art world to negotiate on price and any good gallery will allow for this as they want their art to go to good collections. I think as long as you can guarantee that a piece of art is not going to be \u201cflipped\u201d, and I can, then people are willing to negotiate. \u201c\nWith all her duties as the wife of one of Kuwaiti\u2019s most senior royals, Paula is often unable to view everything she likes first hand. \u201cWe entertain officially four times a week and have many visitors to our home. When I travel, I do miss a routine of life in Kuwait. Fortunately, gallery owners, often send me images and it is a natural process if the gallery gets to know you well and appreciate your taste. I\u2019ve never bought anything purely from an image though. For the Indian bird series (Jungli Kawwa) by Frank Stella for example, I was sent the image and while I knew almost immediately I wanted it, I flew to New York for a private view before starting negotiations with the dealer\u201d This work was on her wish list, \u201cbut I often get sidetracked from this, especially if I am introduced to or visit new galleries. I don\u2019t have a broker and I am sent auction catalogues but I feel you have to see something in person before a purchase, especially a significant one.\u201d\n\u201cSignificant\u201d can mean anything over one million dollar. \u201cI\u2019ve never bought art as an investment but conversely if I buy art over a certain price it must be a good investment. I really do my homework before I invest in a piece. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair to throw away that sort of money, especially when it\u2019s family money. My husband and my family support my decisions and there is no interference from them, however I discuss purchases out of respect. Ultimately I am buying for my children and our trust.\u201d\nFinally, have there been any expensive mistakes ? \u201cThe only regret is what I let go of at the time or couldn\u2019t afford at the time. I wish now that I had made the stretch. We can all forego things or pay them off installments.\u201d\nThis article was published in HARPER\u2019s BAZAAR , March 2011. Works an styling by Penny McCormick. Photography by Lester Ali. \u00a9 Copyright\nWe decide to publish this article, because we continue to receive the letters from our readers, who were not able to find Harper\u2019s Bazaar Arabia in Kuwait (March, 2011) and who would like to read an archival copy.\nSheikha Paula Al Sabah: Interview with Art Collector and Art Patron \u2013 1 part\nSheikha Paula Al Sabah: Interview with Art Collector and Art...\nI find her attitude exceptional and refreshing.

        "raw_content": "The Advice of Trees, Belonging and Creativity \u00bb\nIn June, our family celebrated my Grandmother\u2019s 90th birthday. Nain (as the grandchildren call her, meaning Grandmother in Welsh) was a very influential figure in my life. At the age of 39 she had three teenage daughters and a daily radio talk show for which she was responsible for gathering the guests, organizing the questions and hosting. At this very busy time in her life she found out that she was pregnant with my uncle Dave. This was the fifties and she had the lifestyle of a woman in the 21st century.\nNain is responsible for my discovering writing as a method of expressing my inner world. For that one thing alone, I can not thank her enough. Most of what I write sits in journals for only me to explore at a later date. But without having that outlet, which is often my method of prayer and meditation, I would most likely be constricted with a feeling of no way out.\nAs a child, I felt very misunderstood by Nain. Mainly because when we were together, my introverted personality was continually asked questions, and requested to speak up and look her in the eye when answering. She had me walk with books on my head in order to learn to stand up straight and walk with purpose.\nAs I look at my Grandmother now, beautiful at age 90, I marvel at how all situations can be seen from various perspectives. In younger years, it seemed as though she didn\u2019t know the true me, simply because she asked me to do what didn\u2019t come naturally. Yet, as an adult I can see that she knew exactly what my personality needed in order to find strength among the world. By asking me to step outside of my comfort zone, she gave me the courage to be more than what I thought of myself.\nWhile Nain was purposefully teaching me to improve my ability to show respect for others by looking them in the eyes, in other cases our teachers have no cognizance of their lessons for us. Perhaps a friend says something that brings up our abandonment wound or feelings inadequacy. What they actually say is not the important story. Rather allowing the experience of bringing the wound up and then changing our reaction is where the value is. Have there been times in your life when you felt misunderstood at the moment it happened, only to find out later that the person or circumstance knew what you needed better than you did? If so, be grateful. If not, look again.",

        "title": "Temple\u2019s underclassmen being tested during losing season \u2013 Austin Ampeloquio",
        "raw_content": "Temple has won just one of its past 10 games. The season wasn\u2019t projected to be like this.\nThe Owls were expected to have a talented recruiting class to help back up three returning seniors. Last season, Temple finished second in the American Athletic Conference with a 24-8 overall record and made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011.\nTemple was picked to finish third in the American Athletic Conference preseason coaches poll. After losing last season\u2019s second-leading scorer \u2014 senior guard Alliya Butts \u2014 to a torn ACL in October, the Owls (10-14, 2-9 The American) sit in second-to-last place in the conference.\nThough senior guard Khadijah Berger isn\u2019t having the season she and her teammates envisioned, she said there\u2019s still meaning in the games.\n\u201cIt\u2019s all about relationships at this point,\u201d Berger said. \u201cWe can\u2019t let what\u2019s happened in the past determine our future. It is a little disappointing that people are saying we\u2019re not going to make postseason, but we\u2019re just trying to finish hard and prepare the young guys for next year.\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019ve just been telling them, \u2018Keep pushing,\u2019\u201d senior guard Tanaya Atkinson said. \u201cWe got to learn how to fight. While they\u2019re young, this will be a really good test for when they get older because they should have that fight in them for what they\u2019re going through this year. I feel like it\u2019s going to make them grow into something really good and really big.\u201d\nBerger said being one of the leaders on a team that has six freshmen has been a \u201cjourney\u201d of watching the underclassmen have mental lapses. Overall, she said they have become more comfortable at the Division I level.\nFreshman guard Desiree Oliver said taking a possession-by-possession approach helps her stay confident even during the current slump.\nIn the past five games, Oliver has cut down on her turnovers. She hasn\u2019t committed more than two turnovers since the Owls played Penn on Jan. 21. In her previous 10 games, Oliver averaged 2.6 turnovers per game.\nShe calls improvements like this \u201csmall victories\u201d that will eventually help the team in the future. Oliver credited Berger and Atkinson with helping her progress through this season.\n\u201cI think in my position as a point guard, just being able to handle the pace of the game I have improved on that a little bit,\u201d Oliver said. \u201cIt means a lot coming from [Berger and Atkinson], considering the season that they had last year.\u201d\nFreshman forward Breanna Perry said the biggest thing she is learning is the mentality needed to compete at the college level. Perry, like Oliver, said having seniors like Berger and Atkinson makes the transition easier.\nPerry is one of two freshmen who has played every game. She is third on the team with 71 rebounds. Perry is also third on the team with nine blocks but hasn\u2019t recorded one in the past six games.\n\u201cIt\u2019s rough, but I\u2019m not the only one that\u2019s going through this,\u201d Perry said. \u201cThe whole team is. Just like how I need my teammates to keep their heads up and keep pushing through it, they need me to keep my head up and keep pushing through it. Everybody needs each other, and you can\u2019t just be in your own head and give up.\u201d\nDespite the recent struggles of the team, Perry sees it as beneficial for the coming years.\n\u201cIt\u2019ll get better because we can only go up from here,\u201d she said. \u201cHaving [Berger and Atkinson] here in their last year I feel is very helpful. \u2026 They\u2019ve helped me get through it, so next year I think I\u2019ll have the building blocks to get through it myself.\u201d\nPrevious Post Previous post: Women\u2019s basketball has to be more \u2018aggressive\u2019 on offense\nNext Post Next post: Wichita State women\u2019s basketball has record shooting day",

        "title": "Coalition-Labor Deal On Rotation Of Members Confirmed By Senate | AustralianPolitics.com",
        "raw_content": "The major parties rejected the recount method whereby the Senate votes are recounted as if it was a half-Senate election. This method would have meant that the Liberal and Labor Parties each lose one long-term senator (Scott Ryan and Deborah O\u2019Neill) in favour of minor parties (Derryn Hinch and Lee Rhiannon).\nThe rotation was approved by 50 votes to 15. The four One Nation senators and Jacqui Lambie supported the proposal. The Greens, Nick Xenophon Team, David Leyonhjelm, Bob Day and Derryn Hinch all opposed the resolution.\nFull Details of the Senate Rotation\nListen to the Senate debate (19m \u2013 transcript below)\nHansard transcript of Senate debate on the rotation of members.\nSenator FIFIELD (Victoria\u2014Manager of Government Business in the Senate, Minister for Communications and Minister for the Arts) (09:38): I move:\nThat, pursuant to section 13 of the Constitution, the senators chosen for each state be divided into two classes, as follows:\nSenators listed at positions 7 to 12 on the certificate of election of senators for each state shall be allocated to the first class and receive 3 year terms.\nSenators listed at positions 1 to 6 on the certificate of election of senators for each state shall be allocated to the second class and receive 6 year terms.\nSenator DI NATALE (Victoria\u2014Leader of the Australian Greens) (09:38): I would just like to draw the Senate\u2019s attention to the method of allocating Senate terms that has been applied in this motion. It is not the countback method that this Senate has previously indicated should be the appropriate method for electing senators. The Labor and Liberal parties have both previously supported the much fairer method advocated by the Australian Electoral Commission; yet, disappointingly, but not surprisingly, when it does come to the crunch, they have gone back to a method that really has been adopted out of narrow self-interest.\nWe know that the countback method is the fairer, more democratic method of the two. We know that the order of election, which is the method that is being used in allocating Senate terms in this case, does create serious anomalies in preferential voting like ours. That is precisely why moving to a countback process was the recommendation of the 1983 Joint Select Committee on Electoral Reform. The Commonwealth Electoral Act was even amended to authorise the AEC to conduct a countback of the Senate vote.\nUltimately, this is a decision which is in our hands. It is a deliberate choice of this Senate to disregard the more democratic process that more closely reflects the will of voters. Senator Button and, indeed, Senator Faulkner, whom I had the pleasure of working with during my early years in this parliament and is somebody for whom I have tremendous respect, were both champions of the countback method. So it is disappointing to see Labor supporting this motion. They are not the only ones; we saw Senator Ronaldson move and successfully pass the motion on behalf of the coalition in 2010. It comes back to something that we have said on a number of occasions: there is nothing that brings the old parties\u2014the Labor Party and the Liberal Party\u2014closer together than ensuring they protect their cosy little duopoly. And here we are again; they are voting together to stop diverse voices in the parliament. It is the Coles and Woolies of politics, as I have said before.\nThe outcome of this motion has clearly been predetermined by both the Labor Party and the Liberal Party, but we will continue to advocate for the recount method, regardless of who it benefits, because it is the fairer method.\nSenator BRANDIS (Queensland\u2014Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (09:41): I wish to make some brief remarks in contribution to this debate and in support of the motion. The point to be made is that the motion proposed by Senator Fifield is consistent with every single precedent adopted by this chamber following a double dissolution. After the 1914, 1951, 1974, 1975, 1983 and 1987 double dissolutions\u2014in other words, after all of the double dissolution elections that have occurred since Federation\u2014when the appropriate operation of section 13 of the Constitution, which is the provision that provides for the rotation of senators, had to be considered by this chamber, the order-of-election principle was adopted.\nNow, it is true, Senator Di Natale, as you say, that in 1998\u2014not after a double dissolution\u2014Senator Faulkner advocated for the countback method. That is true. That is a matter about which the Labor Party might wish to say something; nevertheless, that was not after a double dissolution. The motion that Senator Fifield has moved is consistent with every single constitutional precedent, and, of course, the relevant section of the Constitution, section 13, remains in the form it has always taken since 1901.\nFinally, Senator Di Natale, can I correct something you said. You said that the Australian Electoral Commission advocated for the countback method. The Australian Electoral Commission does not advocate for anything; the Australian Electoral Commission merely conducts the count. The safest course for this chamber to adopt is the course consistent with each of the previous six double dissolutions and the division of the chamber in the subsequent term.\nSenator LEYONHJELM (New South Wales) (09:43): I would also like to address this matter. I do not find it at all persuasive that Senator Brandis refers to precedent in this instance. Precedent does not necessarily make it fair or legitimate nor does it avoid injustice. There is a legislated alternative in the Commonwealth Electoral Act which allows for the allocation of terms on the basis of the assumption that they would have been elected under half-Senate results. It seems to me that this motion is based on a certain outcome in terms of who will sit for six years and who will sit for three years, and it has been worked back from that position, and the option envisaged in the motion is the result of that end result that has been chosen.\nI want to place on the record my disagreement with the motion. If there is a division on it I will vote against it; nonetheless, I want to record the fact that I do not approve.\nSenator HINCH (Victoria) (09:44): This is not my first speech and I have taken my No-Doz. I think it is a dirty stitch-up deal between the government and the Labor Party. The fix was in from the day of the election, and I think that in this deal you have betrayed more than 200,000 voters in Victoria, in my case. In the case of Senator Rhiannon, you have betrayed the voters of New South Wales. Under section 282, former Prime Minister Hawke said was a fair way to reflect what happens after double dissolution\u2014a fair way to do it. I should get six years and Senator Rhiannon should get six years and we are\u2014we are going to get three. The AEC report was tabled last night\u2014282(1) says:\nWhere the scrutiny in an election of Senators for a State held following a dissolution of the Senate under section 57 of the Constitution has been completed, the Australian Electoral Officer for that state shall conduct a re-count of the ballot papers in the election in accordance with subsections 273(7) to (30) \u2026\nin subsection 273(8) \u2018half\u2019 were inserted before \u2018the number of candidates\u2019; \u2026\nThe whole point of this method was that after a double dissolution the result best resembled a regular half-Senate election. Now, I am told by Liberal Party people in Victoria that with the vote that I got, I actually would have got elected and be in this place if there had been a half Senate instead of a double dissolution.\nThe AEC in that report say that this is the way you should have elected senators for six-year terms\u2014(1) Mitch Fifield, (2) Kim Carr (3) Richard Di Natale, (4) Bridget McKenzie, (5) Stephen Conroy and (6) Derryn Hinch. That is the way the people of Victoria voted on 2 July. You did this dirty little stitch-up to try and get one more, and said: \u2018Yeah, let\u2019s do a deal here. We\u2019ll put one more Labor senator up in New South Wales. We\u2019ll put one more Lib up in Victoria. That gives us one more each. Isn\u2019t that great.\u2019\nIt is wrong; it is unfair and, in this place of all places, you should respect democracy in the way that the voters of Victoria said you should. This is not for me personally; this is for somebody who comes after me. I just think it is wrong and I know it is not going to work. I said the stitch-up was done the same way that the government made the deal to try and get rid of the minor parties earlier this year. That worked fine, didn\u2019t it!\nI do not want to take up the full 20 minutes. I just want to say it is wrong. If the vote goes against us, okay, I am here for three years. I have been sacked 16 times. If the voters of Victoria want to sack me the 17th time, they will do it. My plan is to go there in three years time\u2014if the vote goes against us\u2014get re-elected and do six years, and leave here after nine years. Thank you very much.\nSenator DASTYARI (New South Wales) (09:47): I want to echo the sentiments of the Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Brandis. I think it is one the quirks of this chamber that it is responsible for making these types decisions. Naturally, when we are making these decisions there will be those who will miss out because of the decisions that are made. I want to echo two of the points that were made by Senator Brandis. Firstly, this is the method that has always been used for making these types of determinations in the past. Secondly, there is a test that we have to apply\u2014that is, what is a reasonable and sensible process? The idea that when there are 12 senators elected, the first six would serve for a longer period than the second six is a simple and transparent way of making these decisions. That being said, again, I think it is somewhat quirky that it is the Senate that makes this decision about itself.\nSenator XENOPHON (South Australia) (09:49): I want to indicate my support for the position set out by Senator Hinch. I will say that in terms of NXT we are not affected either way by this, but there is an important principle in respect of this\u2014that is, we legislated to have a process in place. Of course, the Senate can override it, as is the Senate\u2019s right. But I think the litmus test, if you like, the pub test in terms of what is fair, is how would this have played out if it was as though it was a half-Senate election. I think that, clearly, in this case, Senator Hinch would have been elected for a six-year term. We did go through a legislative process many years ago that anticipated this. It can be overridden by the Senate, but I think that this is fundamentally unfair and that is why I support the position of Senator Hinch and other crossbenchers in relation to this. We had a legislative reform. That legislative reform ought to be respected, even though it can be overridden by the Senate.\nThe PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion moved by Senator Fifield be agreed to. Those of that opinion say aye. Those against say no. I think the ayes have it.\nSenator Hinch: We think the noes have it.\nThe PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Hinch. A division has been called, so we will be able to divide. The question is that the motion moved by Senator Fifield concerning the rotation of senators for the purposes of section 13 of the Constitution be agreed to.\nAug 03, 2016 Victorian Senate Results Finalised; Liberals Gain 1, Greens Keep 2, Hinch Elected\nSep 21, 2015 Current Federal Parliamentary Leaders\nMalcolm Turnbull Penny Wong Joe Hockey John Hewson Campbell Newman John Howard Bob Brown Anthony Albanese Peter Hollingworth Andrew Peacock Alexander Downer Paul Keating climate change editorial Steve Bracks Glenn Stevens Tony Abbott Chris Bowen Peter Cosgrove Denis Napthine Laurie Oakes vic1999 Kevin Rudd AEC Jeff Kennett Julie Bishop financial crisis Robert Menzies Warren Truss interest rates Senate Wayne Swan 9/11 Peter Costello asylum seekers Bob Hawke NPC House Managers Mark Latham Peter Slipper Budget GST Bill Clinton Christine Milne Tanya Plibersek Barack Obama State of the Union Peter Beattie Malcolm Fraser Monica Lewinsky carbon tax Adam Bandt National Press Club terrorism Iraq Eric Abetz Clive Palmer leadership Kim Beazley Liberal Party Tony Windsor A.L.P.

Jerry Brown, Bill DeBlasio, Al Gore, Bernie Sanders, and Barack Obama respond to Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord. If these five are for the Paris climate agreement, it must be nothing more than a socialist scheme for redistributing US tax payer money to the rest of the world. This agreement fits the world view of these gentlemen. Getting out doesn\u2019t.\nObama Responds To Trump\u2019s Withdrawal From Paris Climate Agreement, at zerohedge.com. First let me say this. President Obama. Since you didn\u2019t send this treaty to the Senate for ratification, you had to know that the next President could get us out of this \u2018agreement\u2019 just as easily as you got us in to it.\nNow here is what the former President said in his statement: \u201c\u2026.the private sector already chose a low-carbon future. And for Nations that committed themselves to that future, the Paris Agreement opened the floodgates for businesses, scientists, and engineers to unleash high-tech, low-carbon investment and innovation on an unprecedented scale.\u201d\nMr. President. The private sector didn\u2019t choose \u201ca low-carbon future\u201d. Government \u2018invested\u2019 in green energy because the private sector wasn\u2019t. The private sector doesn\u2019t invest in technology that isn\u2019t productive. Government \u2018investment\u2019 is nothing more than Politicians using taxpayer money to subsidize a non productive activity they think is a good idea (which means it fits their socialist world view). Once government money was available for the taking, crony capitalists, like Elon Musk and Jeffry Immelt, got in line for their share of tax payer dollars. Crony capitalist companies chose unproductive activities that were \u201cmade profitable\u201d by tax payer dollars (Read-The Hidden High Cost Of Green Energy). So of course they\u2019re against the US getting out of the Paris Agreement.\nMore from the former President: \u201c\u2026But even in the absence of American leadership\u2026\u2026I\u2019m confident that our states, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way, and help protect for future generations the one planet we\u2019ve got.\u201d\nFirst. It is OK if states, cities, and businesses want to freely choose this course of action. As long as they aren\u2019t forced by the Federal Government or subsidized by the Federal Government.\nSecond. Getting out of the Paris Agreement is not the absence of American leadership. Getting out is American leadership. Leadership in America doesn\u2019t come from political decrees. It comes from individuals coming up with new and better ways of producing output. A perfect example of American leadership is fracking. Fracking has broken the OPEC cartel because of the increased supply of oil. It has also helped lower US CO2 emissions because it has made natural gas so inexpensive that power plants are using natural gas instead of coal to produce electricity (If the purpose of the Paris Agreement was to lower carbon emissions they should be celebrating what fracking has accomplished). Here is an excerpt from an article I wrote titled; \u201cFree Market Fracking Trumps Government Solutions When It Comes To Producing Energy.\u201d\n\u201cMarket forces are more powerful than the hoped for results of central planners. The most recent example of this is the boom in oil and natural gas production, created by hydraulic fracturing [ fracking], which is taking place on private land in spite of Government policies. Our politicians shut down some Government lands to oil exploration, and made the process of getting permits for exploration on remaining lands more time-consuming [costlier]. They used their power, and our tax dollars, to promote and invest in, \u201cgreen energy\u201d. Green energy was going to create new jobs and lead our economy into the future; do you remember Van Jones the Green Jobs Tzar. As always, the plans by our best and brightest politicians, must be obedient to economic forces. Green energy has, and is, going bankrupt, in spite of being propped up by Government. Government tried to make carbon based fuels more expensive through regulation, and green energy more affordable through tax payer subsidies; And with all this Government intervention, the economic reality that green energy produces less energy at a higher cost, and carbon based fuel produces more energy at a lower cost, can\u2019t be overcome.\u201d\nElon Musk Leaving Trump Advisory Councils following Paris Agreement Withdrawal, at techcrunch.com. Having crony capitalist Elon Musk on a Government advisory council is like having the fox advising the farmer on how to make the hen-house more secure. (Read Here \u2013 Gov. Subsidies Helped Musk Attain $13.3 Billion Net Worth)\nStudying The Climate Doesn\u2019t Make You An Expert On Economics And Politics, by Ryan McMaken, at mises.org. Excerpt from the article: \u201c\u2026the Paris Climate Agreement isn\u2019t a scientific study. It\u2019s a political document that lays out a specific public-policy agenda\u2026..to people who know nothing about economics or political institutions \u2013 public policy is like a magic trick. A group of politicians get together, declare that they\u2019re going to solve problem X, and then problem X is magically solved, so long as everyone supports the \u201csolution\u201d\u2026\u2026.what if the cure is worse than the disease?\u201d\nTHE REST OF THE MUST READS\nTo Lower Healthcare Costs, Try Freedom, by Julian Adorney, at mises.org.

Perry, at carpediemblog. Free trade increases wealth. Mercantilist protectionism decreases wealth.\nWhy Do Half-Measures Work For Markets, But Not for Socialism? by Ryan McMaken, at mises.org. Even as Venezuela fails as it adopts more socialist solutions, true believers say it isn\u2019t true socialism.

        "title": "Feature Friday: Password Management \u2013 AVC",
        "raw_content": "Feature Friday: Password Management\nI posted about The Interview last Thursday and the next morning I woke to a message from Facebook:\nI can\u2019t imagine the login attempt on my Facebook was in reaction to my blog post about The Interview, but as Andy Grove famously said \u201conly the paranoid survive\u201d and so I spent some time changing passwords that morning.\nI don\u2019t want to get too much into my personal security setup but I will say this. I try out a bunch of services every week and many of them ask me to create a login. I use a fairly basic login for those services. But for anything that is serious, I like strong passwords that are unique for each service.\nI find a password manager to be helpful in managing all of them. The big issue with a password manager is you are creating a single point of failure by using one. But if the alternative is easy to guess passwords that you use frequently, I think going with a password manager is the better alternative. A couple popular ones are Dashlane and 1Password.\nI also use two-factor authentication on services that offer it and, as I have posted here, I like using the Authy app to generate the tokens for me on my phone.\nOne thing I have decided to change in the wake of that Facebook login attempt is to treat social media services differently. I used to think that social media services weren\u2019t \u201cserious security issues\u201d and did not worry too much about them. I\u2019ve decided that isn\u2019t right and I now treat social media services similarly to banking and productivity services (like email and cloud storage).\nBut even if you lock down your own services tightly, you still have to be worried about what you put into email and other messaging apps because the person you send the messages to you may not be as secure as you are. That\u2019s one of the many lessons from the Sony hack. A friend of mine told me she only puts into email things she is prepared to have read on the nightly news. That\u2019s a high standard and one that I am going to strive for myself. Given the nature of my work, it\u2019s going to be a hard one to reach.\nI think we can expect hacking and other forms of attacks on our personal data and systems to increase significantly in the next five years. If you are looking for a good new year\u2019s resolution, I think taking security more seriously, and specifically using unique strong passwords and two-factor auth on all of your important services would be a good one. I already do that but I am always looking to do more of this sort of thing. Andy Grove\u2019s mantra is a good one in this regard.\nNewer post Video Of The Week: The Interview Older post Merry Christmas Everyone",

        "raw_content": "How do I do it all???\nEarly in the month I mentioned that we\u2019d talk in November about the three basic components of exercise: cardio, strength and flexibility.\nYou and I both know that all three are important, but most of us don\u2019t have several hours a day to work out (or even ONE hour).\nSo, how do you fit it all in?\nFirst things first. Don\u2019t think in terms of absolute. As in, I absolutely have to do 30 minutes of cardio, 30 minutes of strength and 30 minutes of flexibility. And definitely not all three everyday. That\u2019s not realistic or even advisable. And who\u2019s to say you have to do it all at once? Even if you work out early in the day, no one says you can\u2019t take a walk after dinner. Or how about starting out the day getting up a bit earlier to do 20 minutes of yoga?\nHere are my suggestions to make it work:\n1. Decide upon your goals. Want to lose weight? You\u2019ll probably spend a bit more time on cardio. Need to tone up? It\u2019s important to get enough strength training in each week. Feeling sore? Back pain? Increase flexibility work \u2013 yoga is perfect for those issues.\n2. Decide how much time you can devote to exercise each week. Maybe it\u2019s 30 minutes a day most days, but you could squeeze in an extra twenty here or there.\n3. Looking at your goals and your available time, put together a program that will help you achieve what you want without burning out in the process. For some people it might be 5 days of cardio, 2 days of strength training and stretching for a few minutes most days. For someone else, three days of cardio and three days of strength training \u2013 it really varies a LOT by person. Someone who is just starting out could begin with three days of walking and a couple of days of light weights or yoga and see some pretty quick improvements.\n4. Schedule those times on your weekly calendar as appointments \u2013 non negotiable appointments!\n5. Don\u2019t beat yourself up if you miss a day. It\u2019s not the end of the world, just pick yourself up and do better the next day. Over time, consistent exercise will become as routine as brushing your teeth. You\u2019ll be used to it, you\u2019ll feel better, so you\u2019ll WANT to get your workout in.\nNeed some help putting together the perfect fitness program for you? That\u2019s one of the areas I help my clients tackle. It will also be a part of the 2013 \u201cNew You for the New Year\u201d group coaching program. We\u2019ll work on getting all three exercise components in your week in a natural and successful way!

        "raw_content": "Skin cysts (epidermoid cysts / sebaceous cysts / pilar cysts) can develop anywhere on the body (except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet). They occur when a pore becomes blocked by dead skin cells. Sebum accumulates in the blocked duct and white blood cells may attempt to break down this debris. This results in the creation of a clump of cheesy white material that may drain out of the cyst. A non-infected and non-inflamed cyst will feel like a lump just under the skin. It may or may not cause pain if you press on it. If a cyst becomes inflamed or infected, it will usually be painful. The overlying skin will be tender and may appear red and swollen. Infection and inflammation often result from attempts to squeeze the cyst and express the contents. Skin cysts that become infected may be referred to as boils or abscesses.\nA dermatologist can remove a cyst surgically. This includes removing the cyst wall so it won\u2019t simply fill up again. This is a minimally invasive that should only leave a very small scar. Nine times out of ten, this treatment will be effective and prevent recurrence of the cyst. If you have an infected cyst removed, you may need antibiotics to limit infection. Keeping skin clear of dead skin and excess oil can help prevent the formation of new cysts. You may use over-the-counter products such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic cleansers or prescription creams such as Retin-A to keep your pores clear.",

        "raw_content": "[#ICSEX] something\u2019s gotta change3 min read\nby Dan King | Sep 27, 2010 | authentic christianity, engaged in culture | 4 comments\nI\u2019ve been waiting for today for a long time. I\u2019ve always been a big fan of the conversations that The Idea Camp stirs up, and this will be the first time I get to attend one of the events in person!\nThen I started running The Idea Camp blogging series for #ICSEX.\nI honestly don\u2019t know if I was ready for the incredible blog posts that would start rolling in. We\u2019ve heard people like Sarah Markley share about her struggles with pornography. And people like Heidi Bylsma have shared about how the pain of being sexual abused can leave wounds that need to be healed many years later.\nWe\u2019ve talked about perspectives related to gender, sexual orientation, and human trafficking. And we\u2019ve seen much of this conversation result in some great family week posts that focused a lot on how we need to get this right with our kids.\nThroughout the blogging series we\u2019ve seen the kind of brokenness that Jesus chases after, and the kind of healing that only He can provide.\nSo to be here\u2026 right now\u2026 in Las Vegas\u2026\nI\u2019m humbled to be around some of the people who are doing such amazing work in ministry in these areas.\nThen this morning, I wake up to the results of a new Barna study in my email. The title alone says a lot\u2026\nSurvey Finds Lots of Spiritual Dialogue But Not Much Change\nSome of the conclusions of this study remind me how important it is for this event to not just be a conversation. But this is where it starts. People need to have these issues brought to their attention\u2026\n[R]eligious leaders are not provoking people to think deeply and practically about the major issues of life and culture from a religious perspective.\nThese are the issues that we need to be talking about. These are the issues that might actually cause us to change\u2026\nIt also appears that when theological views are altered, such shifts are largely due to having wrestled with the personal and moral implications of a high-profile, real-world issue, such as abortion or homosexuality.\nThe reason that the church needs to be talking about this stuff (sexuality) is because \u2018the world\u2019 really jacked it up, and the church\u2019s silence on the issue has allowed that to happen\u2026\nPeople do not appear to be turning to religion as often as assumed for answers to troubling questions. Adults do not seem to spend much time pondering the relationship of their faith to current cultural challenges and developments.\nIt doesn\u2019t take long looking around here in Las Vegas to see that somebody needs to get this conversation right, and the church needs to turn this conversation into some kind of practical change.\nChange that brings restoration.\nChange that brings healing.\nChange that brings Jesus.\nMy prayer for the next two days is that this conversation sends a ripple through the church. I pray that the church realizes that not only is it okay to talk about these things, but that we lead the way in talking about them. And may we talk about them in a way that brings healing and restoration, rather than judgement and condemnation. In Jesus name, amen.\nYou can watch the live stream of The Idea Camp on 9/27-28 at\u2026\nhttp://live.mediasocial.tv/theideacamp\ncherylsmith\ton September 27, 2010 at 5:33 pm\nLove this Dan: \u2018the world\u2019 really jacked it up, and the church\u2019s silence on the issue has allowed that to happen\u2026\nYou have given so much of yourself.

But as some major brands avoid launching nationwide campaigns, Honda Motor Co Ltd does the opposite.\nAccording to a series of news reports, Honda has recently launched an ad campaign that urges owners of Honda and Acura vehicles to verify whether their cars have open recalls. While this ad is not exactly specifically targeted at the air bag recall, the automaker is making an extra effort to reach out to those who are not receiving recall notifications via mail.\nThis effort shows the public and regulators that the company is serious about safety and is not trying to put profits ahead of their consumers\u2019 well being.\nRecall Ad Campaign Could Boost Safety\nThe company has allegedly set aside hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure the mass recalls associated with the air bag inflators produced by Takata are replaced promptly. The Takata air bag issue has been directly linked to at least six deaths.\nThe major problem with the air bag recall is associated with the fact that the inflators within the air bags may suddenly explode when they are deployed in a crash. The issue could cause shards of metal and plastic to be expelled in several directions. This problem could then lead to serious personal injury and even death as a result.\nThe controversy revolving around the air bag problem already caused Honda\u2019s CEO to resign. As reports of deaths linked to the issue made the news, federal regulators intensified their efforts to push automakers to act.In spite of the NHTSA\u2019s efforts, the air bag manufacturer Takata decided to refuse to comply. In order to ensure the automaker does not lose any more customers as a result of the controversy, the ad may help to reach out to a greater number of people so that the issues are addressed immediately.Consumers who would like to learn more may watch the ad below.\nYou may follow this link to read more on this story. If you have any further questions or concerns, make sure to contact the manufacturer as soon as possible to have them addressed.",

Unfortunately for some consumers, a series of incidents were reported before the recalls were issued.\nThe first recall announcement was released by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. According to the report, DICK\u2019S Sporting Goods has issued a recall for its Fitness Gear Inversion Tables with the style numbers STE00059FG or STE00118FG. According to the federal agency, the impacted products were sold between November of 2011 and September of of 2014.\nThe tables come with instructions that clearly stress the importance of making sure that the ankle locking systems must be engaged so they are safe from personal injury incidents. Nevertheless, people are reporting incidents involving the device failing to secure them, which has caused them to fall and experience Pasadena Personal injuries Accident as a result.\nConsumers with the recalled units are being urged to return the products to the store of purchase as soon as possible. If you have the product but you\u2019re not sure of what to do to have the item returned, make sure to contact DICK\u2019S Customer Service team promptly. If you have accidents associated with these products to report, contact the U.S. Food and Drug Administration right away.\nThe second recall issued for fitness products that could expose you and your loved ones to serious personal injury risks is the SKLZ Recoil 360\u2122 All-Position Resistance Trainer, a device that offers resistance to the consumer while he or she is performing certain exercises.\nAccording to the official recall announcement published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 52,000 units of the devices are being recalled due to an issue with the trainer\u2019s belt. Since the item may suddenly break while the device is in use, the flexible cord attached to the resistance trainer may retract unexpectedly and too quickly to give the consumer any time to react. This issue could cause the device to hit the person holding the other end.\nAt least 52,000 units of these products were recalled by the company behind this particular personal injury recall.\nAccording to the CPSC, the products have been associated with three personal injury incidents involving the weld on the resistance trainer breaking while the device was in use. All cases resulted in serious injuries, including one incident that resulted in blunt trauma to the user\u2019s lower leg, a laceration and a puncture wound.\nConsumers with these devices should stop using them to exercise and have them returned to SKLZ so they are given a full refund. Impacted units of the resistance trainers were sold nationwide between January 2013 and December 2014. The official recall announcement issued by the CPSC can be found here.",

        "raw_content": "How to Get a Non-Profit Tax ID Number\nby Elizabeth Layne ; Updated September 26, 2017\nNonprofits need an Employer Identification Number, also referred to as a Tax Identification Number, from the Internal Revenue Service even if they don't have employees. An EIN is required to open bank accounts and apply for tax-exemption, as well as to pay employee taxes and FICA. Nonprofits must be incorporated in the state they're headquartered in before applying for an EIN.\nIncorporation involves filing articles of incorporation with the office of the Secretary of State or other appropriate state agency, as well as electing a board of directors and creating bylaws. If a nonprofit gets an EIN before becoming incorporated and doesn't file IRS informational tax returns for three years, it could lose IRS tax-exemption status, if it already has received it.\nObtaining the Number\nFor quickest results, nonprofits can apply online for an EIN at the IRS website, Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern time, and receive their EIN number almost immediately. They can also file a Form SS-4, \"Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number,\" by fax or mail. The EIN application requests basic information such as the organization's legal and trade names and the name of its principle officer, its address, start date, number of employees, main business purpose and closing month of accounting year.\nIRS.gov: Employer ID Numbers (EINs)\nIRS.gov: Employer Identification Number\nNolo: Articles of Incorporation\nIRS.gov: Form SS-4 -- Application for Employer Identification Number\nNolo: How to Obtain 501(c)(3) Tax-Exempt Status for Your Nonprofit\nLayne, Elizabeth. \"How to Get a Non-Profit Tax ID Number.\" Bizfluent, https://bizfluent.com/how-4898564-nonprofit-tax-id-number.html. 26 September 2017.\nLayne, Elizabeth.

It was hoped that these procedures would provide improved airflow during her sleep at night. The hospital described these procedures as complicated. The family described the surgery as a routine tonsillectomy in media reports.\nAfter the surgeries were performed, McMath was conscious and according to her mother, Latasha \u201cNailah\u201d Winkfield, asked for a Popsicle while in the recovery room. On December 9, 2013, McMath suffered massive blood loss and consequent cardiac arrest. According to McMath\u2019s doctors at Children\u2019s Hospital Oakland, the loss of blood circulation caused whole brain death. On December 12, 2013, her doctors declared her brain-dead. Her family was informed that she was legally dead, and that as a result, life support systems would be discontinued. Her family refused to accept the medical declaration of death by neurological criteria, said that McMath was not dead, and initiated legal proceedings in an effort to require the hospital to continue treatment.\nNearly five years later, \u201cJahi died as the result of complications associated with liver failure,\u201d the statement from attorney Christopher Dolan said.\n\u201cA preliminary Abstract of Death (Death Certificate) was completed by the hospital physician treating Jahi listing her cause of death as bleeding as a result of hepatic (liver) failure,\u201d Dolan said in the statement announcing McMath\u2019s death. He goes on to say the death certificate, \u201cnotes that Jahi had been suffering from an anoxic brain injury for 4 years. Anoxic brain injury occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen. Jahi suffered an anoxic brain injury as the result of severe blood loss after surgery at Children\u2019s Hospital Oakland in December of 2013 when medical staff failed to treat Jahi or summon a doctor after she had undergone surgery on her tonsils, adenoids and soft palette to address a condition known as apnea.\u201d\nShe died at home surrounded by her mother, Nailah Winkfield, stepfather Marvin Winkfield and sister, according to the statement.\nWinkfield said she is \u201cdevastated by the loss of her daughter who had showed tremendous strength and courage.\u201d Adding that she \u201cforced the world to rethink the issue of brain death,\u201d referring to\u2026",

        "title": "How Cancers Lose Something to Gain Immunotherapy Resistance - CANCER RESEARCH Catalyst",
        "raw_content": "Posted on January 23, 2017 by Srivani Ravoori, PhD\nA hot topic in the field of cancer immunotherapy is: How do some cancers that initially respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors develop resistance later?\nImmune checkpoint inhibitors, a class of immunotherapeutics that release the brakes on immune cells so they can attack cancer cells, are being talked about widely because they have been yielding durable responses in patients with different cancer types and in those whose cancers are at an advanced stage.\nAs discussed recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors to treat six different types of cancers so far. Examples of approved drugs include ipilimumab (Yervoy), which targets the immune checkpoint CTLA-4, and nivolumab (Opdivo), which targets the immune checkpoint PD-1. About a third of patients receiving these therapies respond.\nImmune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-L1 and anti-PD-1) blocking the binding of PD-L1 to PD-1, which allows the T cells to kill tumor cells. Image provided by the National Cancer Institute.\nThe challenge, however, is that a significant proportion of these patients eventually develop resistance to these therapeutics. Several research teams have buckled down to address this by analyzing tumor samples collected before the start of the therapy and after resistance develops. For example, studies published last year in Nature Communications and The New England Journal of Medicine reported that some cancers develop resistance to anti-PD-1 drugs by upregulating checkpoints other than PD-1, such as TIM 3, or by acquiring genetic alterations that make the tumors less sensitive to the drugs.\nA research team, led by Victor Velculescu, MD, PhD, program leader in the Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at Johns Hopkins, found something different: In their study, the researchers found that tumors that initially responded to anti-PD-1 drugs discarded some of the mutations present in the tumor cells, making them resistant to these drugs.\n\u201cOne of the main reasons immune checkpoint blockade works is because the immune cells of the patients recognize neoantigens,\u201d says Velculescu, who along with his team, published their seminal findings in the AACR\u2019s journal Cancer Discovery.\nNeoantigens are proteins produced as a result of tumor-specific mutations present in cancer cells, explains Velculescu, a past member of the AACR board of directors. Immune cells recognize such mutation-associated neoantigens, or MANAs, and eliminate the tumor cells. The team found that by losing some of these MANAs, the cancers manage to evade the immune system, thus making them resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors that boost these immune cells.\nVelculescu; Valsamo Anagnostou, MD, PhD, instructor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Kellie N. Smith, PhD, a cancer immunology research associate at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; and colleagues used tumor samples from four patients with non-small cell lung cancer and a patient with head and neck cancer, collected before they were treated with nivolumab or nivolumab plus ipilimumab and after they developed resistance.\nGenome-wide sequencing analyses revealed that the treatment-resistant tumor samples had lost about seven to 18 of the MANAs that were present in the tumors before therapy initiation. Through laboratory experiments, the researchers also demonstrated that the eliminated MANAs played a role in the expansion of the T cells that go after these cancer cells, which meant that the tumors developed resistance by essentially eliminating antigens that are required for a functional immune response against them.\nCancers Develop Resistance by Losing Subclonal and Truncal Mutations\n\u201cWe found that there are two ways in which the cancers discard these mutations in the process of becoming resistant,\u201d explains Anagnostou. One is by elimination of subclonal mutations, in which the tumor cells that have the mutation are destroyed but other tumor cells that don\u2019t have these mutations grow back. The other scenario is where the tumors lose the clonal (or truncal) mutations, which are mutations present in every cancer cell. The tumors lose the truncal mutations through a genetic event, such as by losing pieces of chromosomes that contain the neoantigens. Tumor cells that no longer contain these chromosomal regions grow out and take over the cancer.\n\u201cDiscarding mutations is a new mechanism, as far as we understand, in the world of resistance to cancer therapy. It came as a surprise,\u201d Anagnostou notes.\nTumors are known to develop resistance to therapies, particularly targeted therapies, almost always by the acquisition of secondary mutations at the site of binding of the targeted therapy. \u201cOne might think that\u2019s how tumors would acquire resistance to immune checkpoint or other immune-mediated therapies as well, but what we saw in our study was the opposite \u2013 we saw loss of mutations instead of acquisition of mutations,\u201d Velculescu notes.\n\u201cThis just goes to show how creative cancers are in avoiding therapies,\u201d he quips.\nThere are a couple of ways we could move forward with treating patients who stop responding to immune checkpoint inhibitors, Velculescu says. One approach is to develop personalized immunotherapies for such individuals against the remaining antigens in their tumors. The other approach is to increase the number of initial antigens that the checkpoint blockade can work against. \u201cWe don\u2019t know the exact number of neoantigens that the immune system recognizes, but from our study, it appears that it is a relatively small number because that\u2019s the number of neoantigens that were being lost,\u201d Velculescu notes. Increasing the number of neoantigens that are being recognized by the immune system might make it harder for the tumors to lose many such mutations, he explains.\nVelculescu, Anagnostou, Smith, and colleagues are working with multiple institutions to study acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in more samples and in other tumor types.\nThis study was in part funded by the Stand Up To Cancer-American Cancer Society Lung Cancer Dream Team Translational Research grant and the Stand Up To Cancer-Dutch Cancer Society International Translational Cancer Research Dream Team grant. The AACR is the Scientific Partner of Stand Up To Cancer.\nTagged: Cancer Discovery, Cancer immunotherapy, checkpoint inhibitors, immunotherapy\n\u2190 Can a Serum Biomarker Predict Response to Immunotherapy?\nIbrutinib Use Expanded to Additional Type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Q&A With Nina Bhardwaj, MD, PhD, on Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy Advancements\nNina Bhardwaj, MD, PhD, conference co-chair of Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy: A New Chapter\nGiven the excitement surrounding cancer immunotherapy, which is yielding seemingly magical responses for a number of patients with certain forms of cancer, what better place for the AACR to host its 2014 special conference titled \u201cTumor Immunology and Immunotherapy: A New Chapter\u201d than Disney\u2019s Contemporary Resort in Orlando, Dec. 1-4?\nWe have been following the progress being made in cancer immunotherapy on this blog, with one post explaining why we hear so much about it and another highlighting the approval of the first in a new class of cancer immunotherapeutics called PD-1 inhibitors. All the clinical advances have come as a result of decades of biomedical research that have provided us with immense scientific insight into the immune system and how it interacts with cancer cells.\nThe need for more research is, however, evident from the fact that cancer immunotherapies are currently available for only a few types of cancer, and only a small percentage of patients receiving them have dramatic and long-lasting responses.\nWe were excited to have the opportunity to ask co-chair of the AACR\u2019s Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy meeting, Nina Bhardwaj, MD, PhD, director of immunotherapy and professor of medicine, hematology, and medical oncology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, to share her thoughts about some of the most exciting areas of research that will be discussed at the meeting and what to watch for in the future.\nThe meeting is titled \u201cTumor Immunology and Immunotherapy: A New Chapter.\u201d What is the significance of \u201cA New Chapter\u201d and how does it reflect the status of the field?\nA convergence of discoveries has propelled immunotherapy to the forefront of cancer research and treatment. For so many years, cancer therapy comprised chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and many people thought that the immune system would never be sufficiently well understood to be harnessed to treat cancer. However, we have learned so much about the contribution of the immune system to controlling cancer that we are at the point where using and/or manipulating the immune system is allowing us to cure some cancers.\nThe idea that this is a \u201cNew Chapter\u201d in tumor immunology and immunotherapy comes from the fact that for the first time as immunologists, we have a solid armamentarium of ideas and agents that we can use to treat cancers. How we use this wealth of knowledge and the tremendous resources and technologies for individual patients is, for me, the next exciting and challenging frontier.\nOn behalf of investigators who may not be able to make it to the meeting, can you tell us about some of the most exciting basic research that will be discussed?\nThe meeting program is a nice mix of basic science and preclinical and clinical studies. The program committee did a great job of distilling the meeting to the key areas of tumor immunology and immunotherapy, and we have some great speakers and presentations. There will be something for everyone.\nIn terms of the basic science, there will be a lot of mechanistic studies presented. One exciting area we will learn a lot about is how the local tumor microenvironment becomes immunosuppressive, and what signals in the tumor microenvironment might tell us whether or not a tumor will be locally immunosuppressive. In this regard, Douglas T. Fearon, MD, from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, will present data on some of the mechanisms that prevent innate immune cells and T cells from infiltrating a tumor, while Thomas W. Dubensky, PhD, chief scientific officer of Aduro BioTech, Inc., will discuss how the STING pathway can be harnessed to overcome immune suppression in the tumor microenvironment.\nOther areas worth highlighting are the microbiome and immunometabolism, which is the study of how metabolic pathways modulate the immune system and its response to tumors. We will hear presentations from a number of researchers about how the microbiota in the gut can influence not only local cancers but also the response to distal tumors. For example, changing the microbiota in the gut can change the immune response to a tumor in the skin.\nWhat areas of tumor immunology and immunotherapy research are currently yielding the most exciting progress?\nThere are a lot of exciting areas of research right now. Four areas that stand out are: T-cell exhaustion and immune checkpoints; the tumor microenvironment and its role in tumor immune suppression; the microbiome-cancer relationship; and the concept of combining different immunotherapy strategies.\nWe covered some of those earlier, but in terms of T-cell exhaustion and immune checkpoints, E. John Wherry, PhD, associate professor of microbiology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, will talk about the mechanisms that drive T-cell exhaustion\u2014the term used to describe how T cells lose effector functions when they are chronically activated, which can occur in the tumor microenvironment\u2014in the opening plenary session. Immune checkpoint proteins are central to T-cell exhaustion and he will discuss the key molecules and his lab\u2019s work on refining subsets of exhausted T cells.\nWhich clinical research innovations being presented at the meeting are you most excited about and think will have an impact in the clinic?\nCombining different immunotherapy strategies is one of the most exciting areas of clinical research, and we will hear a lot about this at the meeting. But we will also hear about some novel approaches to immunotherapy, and directly modulating the tumor microenvironment through intratumoral injection will be the focus of a number of talks. For example, Joshua Brody, MD, an assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, will present research about intratumoral injection of adjuvants that activate the innate immune system and have resulted in clinical responses in a number of patients. Combining this approach with checkpoint blockade is something I think we will see explored in the future.\nPersonalized vaccines are another very exciting area that we will hear about at this meeting. Catherine J. Wu, MD, an associate professor of medicine at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, will talk about studies in which a patient\u2019s tumor is sequenced to identify tumor antigens unique to the patient. Once these have been identified, peptides that match these antigens are generated and used to vaccinate the patient. This idea is opening up a whole new area of research that seeks to develop vaccines tailored to individual patients.\nWhat are the areas of tumor immunology and immunotherapy to watch?\nIn addition to combinations of immunotherapies, we are going to see more tailoring of immunotherapies to specific patients. By identifying tumor-specific antigens we can not only think about developing tailored cancer vaccines but also expanding patient T cells reactive to that antigen, as Steven A. Rosenberg, MD, PhD, chief of the surgery branch at the National Cancer Institute, and Carl H. June, MD, the Richard W. Vague Professor in Immunotherapy at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, with respect to chimeric antigen receptors, are doing.\nWe are also beginning to see researchers investigate ways to target innate immune cells. Most current immunotherapy approaches are T-cell based but a number of new investigational approaches are designed to stimulate the immune system. In addition to Dubensky\u2019s cyclic dinucleotides that stimulate innate immunity via STING, Robert H. Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, the Hanna Wise Professor in Cancer Research at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, will talk about using CD40-specific antibodies to target innate immune cells called macrophages in pancreatic cancer.\nWhat do you believe are the biggest challenges to expanding the clinical use of immunotherapy?\nThere are many challenges to expanding the clinical use of immunotherapy, from resources, to conducting clinical trials of combinations of therapies, to making it accessible to more people, to teaching the next generation of clinical researchers. In terms of the latter, what excited me this year was that three of the five fellows that entered my institution are focusing on immunotherapy in their futures. But I think the important thing is that despite these hurdles, we have amazingly exciting therapeutics that have shown and will show tremendous promise to transform the lives of patients.\nNina Bhardwaj, MD, is the 2014\u20132015 chair of the AACR\u2019s Cancer Immunology Working Group, which helped develop the program for Tumor Immunology and Immunotherapy: A New Chapter.\nThe Inaugural International Cancer Immunotherapy Conference: Translating Science Into Survival, which is being organized by the AACR in conjunction with the Cancer Research Institute, the Association for Cancer Immunotherapy, and the European Academy of Tumor Immunology, will be held Sept. 27\u201330, 2015, in New York.\nTagged: Cancer immunotherapy\n\u2190 Dutch-American Research Team Aiming to Improve Colorectal Cancer Screening\nAACR Presidents, Past and Present, Lead Effort to Urge Congress to Support Funding for Medical Research \u2192",

        "raw_content": "This one's another not-particularly-on-the-web item, though you can, of course, learn more about it on the web.\nOver a hundred and fifty years ago, Charles Babbage designed his Difference Engine (actually, he designed it twice, the second design requiring many fewer moving parts). Less than a decade ago, it was finally built. One can be seen at the Computing History Museum in Mountain View, CA, at least until its owner finishes reinforcing his living room floor to accommodate it (hey, you can never have too many five-ton Victorian computing machines in the house).\nI remember reading about the difference engine many years ago. The wisdom at the time was that it could not have been built to acceptable tolerances with the technology of the day, or if it could have been, it would have required too much force to operate.\nBoth of these notions have been disproved, and in fact two working examples have been built, using modern numerically-controlled milling machines, but with carefully-introduced errors to mimic the imprecision of the time (not as much as you might think -- the Victorians knew a bit about machining). With some training and practice, and with the aid of a 4:1 reduction not in the original plans, a person of average physique can literally crank the thing up and watch it produce values of a seventh-degree polynomial to thirty-one digits.\nIt's something to see. Forget about retro PC keyboards, this is the real deal.\nOf course, the real fun would be in cranking up a Babbage Analytical Engine, but alas, the design for that one is not complete enough to implement. Not that that stopped Ada Lovelace from hacking it anyway.\nLabels: Charles Babbage, computing history, Computing History Museum, steampunk, women in technology\nDuring WWII the navy used mechanical analog computers to control guns. Multiplication and division were handled with differentials (in the mechanical, not the mathematical sense), and more complex operations were done with specially ground cams, or so they told me.\nThat's my understanding, as well. Lots of interesting but largely forgotten math in that. Functional square roots, for example.\nThe interesting thing about the difference engine, to modern eyes at least, was that it was digital, very explicitly so. For example, there is a sharp-edged bar that slots in at certain key points to make sure that the number wheels are exactly in one of their ten allowed positions.\nBabbage's analytical engine, unfortunately not quite fully-baked enough to build, went even further, anticipating a fair bit of Turing, Von Neumann and company's work.\nThe intriguing question here is what would have happened had Babbage's digital designs succeeded? Instead, there followed a long period of analog dominance. Digital processing wasn't dead -- I'm pretty sure punch cards have a pretty continuous history from the Jacquard loom up to the 60s and 70s, for examle -- but it wasn't the dominant force it is today.",

        "raw_content": "Neighbors in Atlanta Rally to Help Local Homeless Man, Who Pays It Forward\nWhen Suzanne P., a neighbor in East Atlanta, found out that she wouldn\u2019t be home for the holidays, she was devastated.\nKnowing that it would be difficult to not be with her family over the holidays, she decided to make a plan ahead of time for Christmas day \u2013 a plan that quickly changed when she received a voicemail on Christmas Eve.\n\u201cHey Suzanne, it\u2019s Rick,\u201d the voicemail said. \u201cI love you and called to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I love you. You can call me back at this number. This is my phone. I love you. Bye.\u201d\nSuzanne and Rick.\nIt was Suzanne\u2019s homeless friend, Rick, who she had gotten to know over the years in the neighborhood. Suzanne promptly called him back, inviting him over for dinner on Christmas.\n\u201cHe was so excited when I told him we were going to have steak,\u201d Suzanne laughs. \u201cBut I asked myself: what\u2019s Christmas without presents?\u201d\nThat\u2019s when Suzanne took to Nextdoor, asking neighbors for any donations for Rick for Christmas. The response, she says, was unbelievable.\n\u201cIt\u2019s been the most meaningful Christmas yet.\u201d\nFrom wrapping paper, to stocking stuffers, to clothing, socks, and new shoes, the gifts were coming in from all across neighborhoods in East Atlanta. Suzanne collected them all within a day, and promised Rick she would pick him up around dinnertime on Christmas. The plan was for Rick to take a warm shower at her home while she prepared dinner, and Suzanne would do his laundry while they enjoyed the steak.\nIt was during dinner with Suzanne told Rick the final surprise: she had a few gifts for him.\n\u201cHe started crying,\u201d Suzanne shares. After opening a handful, Suzanne asked him to come to a back room, because the final gift was too hard to wrap. It was there that the rest of the donations were piled, filling most of the room.\n\u201cHe started doing what I knew he would do,\u201d says Suzanne. Overwhelmed by the sheer number of gifts, Rick started planning which ones to give to others he knew were in need.\nSoon, they set off to deliver the gifts.\n\u201cIt\u2019s been the most meaningful Christmas yet,\u201d Suzanne said. \u201cI am so lucky that I met Rick. He tells us all the time how much it means to him. He\u2019s not invisible \u2013 he\u2019s human.\u201d\nAnd to all of the neighbors who gave presents to Rick, he has a message:\n\u201cMy name is Rick,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd to all of you who gave gifts to give me through Suzanne \u2013 I love y\u2019all and thank y\u2019all. And may God bless y\u2019all.\u201d\nIf you would like to donate to help Rick and other homeless individuals in East Atlanta, click here.\nOriginally reported by ABC Atlanta.",

        "raw_content": "Home / Books / Book Reviews / Book Review: Light and Lens by Robert Hirsch\nIf you are looking for new ways to see your photography, then this should be on your reading list.\nBook Review: Light and Lens by Robert Hirsch\nT. Michael Testi November 8, 2007 Comments Off on Book Review: Light and Lens by Robert Hirsch 41 Views\nWith the continuous decline of film and the increase use of digital imaging, Light and Lens aims to build a foundation for digital photography by covering the fundamental concepts of digital image making, combined with how to use today's digital technology to create compelling images and how to output and preserve images in the digital world.\nLight and Lens pursues the conceptual stance that camera vision is the primary skill of a photo-based image maker by stressing composition , design, and light as strategic elements of photographic seeing. Its goal is to present four essentials; aperture, focal length, focus, and shutter speed, to make up every image. Light and Lens is just under 400 pages in length and breaks out into 12 chapters.\nChapter 1, \"Why we Make Pictures: A Concise History of Visual Ideas,\" begins with a history of why we make pictures, how we have been doing it since we lived in caves, and how we will continue to evolve our methods in the future. Chapter 2, \"Design: Visual Foundations,\" addresses our need to communicate with images. By using design, composition, and vision we can begin to see and by seeing we can find what others overlook. \"A good photograph creates a memory in a viewer\u2026\"\nChapter 3, \"Image Capture: Cameras, lenses, and Scanners,\" discusses the methods of capturing images. It also talks about types of cameras, lenses, and scanners. By having the proper equipment, you can create better images. Chapter 4, \"Exposure and Filters,\" explains the basics of what exposure is and how to filter the light that is captured. While you can correct your images using software, you are better off if you get them correct in the camera first.\nChapter 5, \"Seeing With Light,\" examines the types of light that is available. These include natural, artificial, as well as how the light changes throughout the day. By understanding lights diversity, you can explore a subject's diversity. Chapter 6, \"Observation: Eyes Wide Open,\" discusses how we see, and why we respond to different stimuli and subsequently to different images. To learn how to see with images, we must be able to interpret with a different skill set.\nChapter 7, \"Time, Space, Imagination, and The Camera,\" will show you how to work with time in relation to a photograph, how to control camera time, and how the perception of time works. Chapter 8, \"Digital Studio: Where the Virtual Meets the Material World,\" tells you the basics of what is needed to get your digital image out into the physical world; as a photograph, web gallery, or multi-media format.\nChapter 9, \"Presentation and Preservation,\" focuses on topics such as retouching and repairing images, archival presentation, and camera copy work. It also touches on digital archives, digital print stability, and how to present work on a disk. Chapter 10, \"Seeing with a Camera,\" looks at viewpoint and the framing to effect what the subject is going to be of a photo. Here you will learn how to give clarity and cohesion to your images.\nChapter 11, \"Solutions: Thinking and Writing about Images,\" examines the process of transforming an abstract idea into a concrete physical reality. This chapter looks at an assortment of methods while giving examples on how others have applied them. Chapter 12, \"Photographer on Assignment,\" explores the some of the options that you have to use your creativity within the world of photography. Whether it is through portraiture, digital imagery, or some other world that you want to create, there is no limit to the artistry within the digital world.\nIn many ways Light and Lens is a different type of book, it is part art theory and instruction as well as being a book on photography. It presents a lot of complex information in a manner that is clear, but with out giving up the technical side, to the point, but yet somewhat abstract. It will give you the tools needed to build thought-provoking images based in the digital medium.\nLight and Lens puts on to you the challenge to look critically at your work and inspires you to take it to another level. The images presented in the book are inspiring as well. If you are looking for new ways to see your photography, then Light and Lens should be on your reading list.",

        "title": "How To: Find Your Head | UCL Museums & Collections Blog",
        "raw_content": "There are a number of reasons, you may have been concerned about this, as to why at the Grant Museum you could have come to lose your head. When the collection was in its embryological state, over 180 years ago, it first came in to being as a cohesive group of objects under the guise of being a teaching collection. This is still a focus of the collection today (hence our \u2018weird\u2019 opening hours) and subsequently no specimen is safe (except a very select few) from the threat of being handled by keen, and reluctant, students alike. Several of these teaching practicals require specimens to be de-taxonomised (stripped of identification) which has led to all sorts of potential for human re-taxonomising errors over the years. This open access extends to researchers and academics who also wish from time to time to don the nitrile gloves of handling. Plenty of scope for your head being put back in the wrong box or your label being reattached to the wrong specimen. (NEVER by the current Museum Assistant).\nIt\u2019s not just handling that can land your head in trouble. It may also get disassociated from your body due to permanent or temporary display in the Museum. Perhaps your body won\u2019t fit in the case, your lack of articulation is an aesthetic nightmare, or its presence just isn\u2019t necessary to make the point of the exhibition (see images on the right). With the best will in the world, associated material can get, well, disassociated. Maybe pests ate your metaphorical driver\u2019s licence, for example. A more physically active excursion for your head may be caused by going on outreach (museum staff taking specimens to libraries, schools, etc, to do a little hands-on teaching), or on loan to another museum. These are just two of the reasons as to why your head may have gone further afield.\nSo far your life has gone like this\u2026\n1) Born\n2) Died (there\u2019s probably a lot in between 1 and 2 so you may expand on this list with subsections if you wish)\n3) Your disarticulated skeleton found its way to the Museum\n4) Your head got separated from your body by any of the means outlined above\n5) You get a rush from the crazy pseudo-out of body experience at first but after a while it gets old and you reach the somewhat inevitable conclusion that life is sweeter with your noggin on your shoulders\n6) You go on a quest to locate it\nI\u2019d start with the Museum\u2019s database. If you were labelled and accessioned properly when you arrived, that will tell you exactly what your heads\u2019 location should be. It may be complicated by the fact that all 68,000 specimens had to be location checked after our move two years ago. But let\u2019s hope you\u2019re in the \u2018done\u2019 pile. If you are not on the database, it becomes a treasure hunt concerning all cupboards, drawers, cases, shelves, and both store rooms with a dose of educated guessing. If you\u2019re a baboon, your head will most likely be in the primate drawers, for example. Though in a drawer full of a million baboon skulls, let\u2019s hope you\u2019re labelled.\nOn your quest, the lost property of the osteological world turns up a few potential candidates. How do you tell which skull is yours? You will be unpopular if you pick up someone else\u2019s a) because you will have left your unidentified disembodied head lying around to clog up the place and b) you have facilitated the continuation of another disemheaded body. Not cool. To establish which belongs to you, you will need to establish some facts before you can get started:\n1) Who\u2019s your daddy?\n2) Know your sex\n3) Did you live long and prosper, or live fast and die young?\nLet\u2019s say you decided you are an adult male and your dad was a gorilla. By comparing the head of another gorilla with the skeletal swag produced by your search, you can work out which skulls are of the correct genetic disposition. This is what we affectionately like to call \u2018comparative anatomy\u2019. Next is the sex. Fortunately for you, male and female gorilla skulls are easy to tell apart based on the sagittal crest- i.e. a big ridge of bone that runs along the top of the skull in the males (see image right). Its use is muscle attachment for the strong jaws. Fyi. So, make sure (if you have a choice to make) that you select the right sex, otherwise the future use of public toilets will become a conundrum. Finally, if you have the head of a 60 year old but the body of a 20 year old, well, go you! But it\u2019s probably not correct. Size is a good indicator of age, though more intense comparative anatomy will narrow it down further.\nAssuming your skull is there, you should by now have ascertained which is yours. Place said head squarely on your shoulders, ensure it is adequately attached, and voila. Away you go.\nThe next in our series of How To Guides will be three long weeks from now. Try to be patient.\nEmma-Louise Nicholls is the Museum Assistant at the Grant Museum of Zoology",

I eventually followed in my father\u2019s footsteps into full-time ministry, but only after overcoming self-doubt and self-consciousness in my ability to share the gospel.\nGod took that doubt away when a young man gave his heart to the Lord after I told him about Jesus. From that moment on, in Taiwan, the Philippines, and other places where I served, I saw the tremendous hand of the Lord at work as I allowed Him to lead and work through me. My desire is that you will be inspired and motivated to serve the Lord as freely and willingly as I was privileged to do for many years. May you, by God\u2019s grace, determine to live with no reserves, no retreats, and no regrets.",

The underlying strategy of deriving the finite element solution is introduced using linear ordinary differential equations, thus allowing the basic concepts of the finite element solution to be introduced without being obscured by the additional mathematical detail required when applying this technique to partial differential equations. The author generalizes the presented approach to partial differential equations which include nonlinearities. The book also includes variations of the finite element method such as different classes of meshes and basic functions. Practical application of the theory is emphasised, with development of all concepts leading ultimately to a description of their computational implementation illustrated using Matlab functions. The target audience primarily comprises applied researchers and practitioners in engineering, but the book may also be beneficial for graduate students.\nDownload Finite Element Methods: A Practical Guide (Mathematical Engineering)",

        "raw_content": "The US Is Modernizing Its Nuclear Arsenal and Backsliding on Nuclear Promises\nIn the past two days it has been reported that the US is undertaking an \u201catomic revitalization,\u201d and will spend a significant amount of money modernizing its nuclear arsenal. William J. Broad and David E. Sanger report on the new direction in US Nuclear policy for The New York Times in \u201cU.S. Ramping Up Major Renewal in Nuclear Arms.\u201d They write that there is a \u201cnationwide wave of atomic revitalization that includes plans for a new generation of weapon carriers. A recent federal study put the collective price tag, over the next three decades, at up to a trillion dollars. This expansion comes under a president who campaigned for \u2018a nuclear-free world\u2019 and made disarmament a main goal of American defense policy. The original idea was that modest rebuilding of the nation\u2019s crumbling nuclear complex would speed arms refurbishment, raising confidence in the arsenal\u2019s reliability and paving the way for new treaties that would significantly cut the number of warheads. Instead, because of political deals and geopolitical crises, the Obama administration is engaging in extensive atomic rebuilding while getting only modest arms reductions in return.\u201d\nAnd the editorial board of the Times, in \u201cBacksliding on Nuclear Promises,\u201d also weighs in : \u201cthe Congressional Budget Office now estimates that Mr. Obama\u2019s plans will cost $355 billion over the next decade; other studies put the price at $1 trillion over three decades. The wish list includes 12 new missile submarines, up to 100 new bombers, 400 land-based missiles, plus upgrades to eight major plants and laboratories. . . . Not only is this spending unwise and beyond what the nation can afford, multiple studies by the Government Accountability Office have described the modernization push as badly managed. In a statement released on Monday, nuclear weapons experts from the Arms Control Association, the Federation of American Scientists and others called the modernization plan excessive and said the country can reduce the number of missiles and bombers it buys and still maintain a safe and reliable nuclear arsenal. . . . Investing in nuclear security protects Americans more than unwise investment in new nuclear weapons.\u201d\nDisaster, Eschatological Anxiety, International Affairs, National Security State, Nuclear, Of Archival Interest\nAtomic Revitalization, Barack Obama, David E.

        "title": "Notions of Gender in Hindi Cinema: The Passive Indian Woman in the Global Discourse of Consumption - Bright Lights Film Journal",
        "raw_content": "Asian \u00b7 Essays \u00b7 Uncategorized\nNotions of Gender in Hindi Cinema: The Passive Indian Woman in the Global Discourse of Consumption\n\u201cDuring the so-called \u2018repressive\u2019 ages sex was a joy, because it was practiced in secret and it made a mockery of all of the obligations and duties that the repressive power imposed. Instead, in tolerant societies, as the one we live in is declared to be, sex produces neuroses because the freedom granted is false and above all, it is granted from above and not won from below.\u201d \u2014Pier Paolo Pasolini, Pasolini prossimo nostro (2006) \u201cHave you noticed how fashionable couples are today? But it is a completely false and insincere couple, frighteningly insincere. See these kids under the power of who knows what romantic notion, they walk hand-in-hand, or arm-in-arm, a young man and a girl. \u2018What is this sudden romanticism?\u2019, you may ask. Nothing. It is simply the new couple as revived by consumerism because this consumerist couple buys.\u201d \u2014Pier Paolo Pasolini, Pasolini prossimo nostro (2006)\nThis article examines the relationship between consumption and femininity in Hindi cinema. The eye is the orifice through which images are consumed; the alienated consumer of images is both man as a bearer of manhood and woman as a receptacle of notions of gender conceived in the cauldron of a social order which produces images as a subconscious language that suggests at the point that it compels; the question of gender is thus intertwined with sexuality, the body with notions of purity and pollution, the \u201ctruth\u201d mingled with illusion, and masculinity with \u201cright\u201d or \u201crighteousness.\u201d Hindi cinema is a suggestive-compulsive discourse that defines social reality as it describes the seemingly obvious; my argument is that an analysis of this discourse is meaningless unless we see that the patriarchal order cannot exist in the absence of the politics of \u201cconsumption\u201d with the \u201cconsumed\u201d \u2014 both as image and reality \u2014 trapped in a homoerotic order that does not give women a chance to make choices in relation to their bodies.\nWith the opening of the markets to foreign products and investment, India\u2019s liberalization, technically speaking, began in 1991. Supposedly the nation is moving from an era of repression to a more \u201ctolerant\u201d social order where the young are free to be themselves, or in simpler terms, boys choose to enter \u201cfreely\u201d into relationships with girls they love and vice-versa. This is the antithesis to \u201cromantic love\u201d where, as Russell views it, \u201cthe beloved object\u201d is regarded \u201cas very difficult to possess and as very precious\u201d (29). Ironically, with liberalization, the \u201cpossession\u201d is retained while the \u201cdifficulty\u201d is taken away. \u201cRomantic love\u201d is packaged as \u201clove\u201d responding to the alienated consumer of globalization. Two things emerge from this situation: one is the neuroses that sex produces out of a false sense of freedom; and another is the image of the \u201cromantic couple,\u201d the \u201cfree\u201d couple that does things together, the woman as the man\u2019s equal, the man elegant and caring and the woman articulate though docile and affectionate. The nostalgia for a community with its illusions of warmth and coming togetherness is bound to the individualism rooted in a capitalist ethic where you have the means to acquire what you desire; the \u201cfreedom\u201d is about being able to afford the love as much as it is a politics of desire where the need for a love-object and the object of love are within each other\u2019s reach.\nThe history of Hindi cinema is replete with examples of this ideal couple \u2014 an \u201cideal\u201d that conforms to existing notions of reality. The couple that emerges from the 1990s is a consumer who is programmed to buy; unless you subscribe to the paradigm of buying, you\u2019re an outsider \u2014 not in the existential sense of a despairing consciousness that has given up hope but in an all-too-real sense where your being-in-the-world is reduced to the margins as an outcast, where madness is the background to sanity, where truth confronts the onslaught of ideology. In the 1994 film Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Madhuri Dixit as Nisha Choudury sings: \u201cChocolate \u2014 lime juice \u2014 ice cream \u2014 toffeeyan pehle jaise ab mere shauk hain kahan/ Gudiya \u2014 khilone meri saheliyan ab mujhe lagti hain sari paheliyan yeh kaun \u2014 sa mod hai umra ka!\u201d She is nostalgic for a girlhood when she could have chocolate, ice cream, toffee, and play with \u201cdolls\u201d (Gudiya) and toys (khilone). With a marriage round the corner, she is supposed to forgo the things that made her the girl she is. Her virginal self is so connected to the world of objects that her womanhood that will happen when possessed by a man will be a rite of passage to complete the process of her objectification that began before she was born.\nIn Mehboob\u2019s 1949 film Andaz, two men compete for the same woman, a rich, spoilt girl who has to come to terms with the reality of being the prototypical Indian \u201cwoman.\u201d Nina \u2014 the female protagonist \u2014 has to finally kill Dilip (the male character played by Dilip Kumar) to save her marriage to the madly suspicious and possessive Rajan (Raj Kapoor). In Prakash Mehra\u2019s Muqaddar ka Sikandar (1978), the protagonist Amitabh Bachchan is less holy than Dilip Kumar in many ways. We see a divided self in him that he makes no attempt to conceal; not surprisingly, he indulges in the division as a heroic trait peculiar to his tragic life. On the one hand he spends his days with the prostitute Zohrabai, while on the other hand he is in love with an erstwhile rich man\u2019s daughter who was \u201cnice\u201d to him in their childhood. The body is given to the whore and the soul dedicated to the \u201cmother-wife\u201d in whose purity rests the possibility of a \u201creal\u201d family. You love the prostitute, but you don\u2019t marry her. Marriage is not about love as much as it is about raising a family. That\u2019s the logic of the film toward the end of the transitional \u201980s before liberalization.\nIt is in the \u201990s that we see, for the first time, the ideal couple in the bloom of neurosis. In the Raj Kapoor and the Amitabh Bachchan films, the neurosis is restricted to the purity versus pollution divide, where the impure woman stands for manifest desire and the pure for the subjugation of the desire in which the woman discovers the fullness of her personhood. Love continues to be as elusive as the desire itself. The woman as whore and the woman as mother-wife meet in the liberalized era of a globalizing India. Love is a product purchased with a certain lifestyle. Romanticism as Pasolini intuits it is a form of consumerism. The neurosis of the situation we see in a more repressive time becomes the neurosis of individuals in a permissive order.\nIn any phase of history, repression complements permissiveness. In the worst dictatorial regimes, something is deliberately overlooked, something consciously allowed, and something else actively promoted. A patriarchal society thrives on contradictions and needs them in order to perpetuate existing inequalities. As Engels points out in The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State:\nThe first class opposition that appears in history coincides with the development of the antagonism between man and woman in monogamous marriage, and the first class oppression coincides with that of the female sex by the male. Monogamous marriage was a great historical step forward; nevertheless, together with slavery and private wealth, it opens the period that has lasted until today in which every step forward is also relatively a step backward, in which prosperity and development for some is won through the misery and frustration of others. It is the cellular form of civilized society, in which the nature of the oppositions and contradictions fully active in that society can be already studied.\nIn acknowledging the ideological nature of marriage \u2014 and by extension love intertwined with property relations and the maintenance of a social order in the form of a state \u2014 Engels brings out the class nature of female oppression. Mainstream Hindi cinema to a large extent embodies the \u201cfirst class oppression\u201d of the \u201cfemale sex by the male\u201d in equating the body of the woman with possession. The right to possess the feminized body is a primordial right of the male to such an extent that in the absence of the property frame of reference, it is impossible to understand sexual obsession. The metaphor of the body is not a metaphor detached from the \u201creal\u201d body but literally a property of reality \u2014 in this case, class relations in a patriarchal society. Knowledge is the power to possess and the source of obsession. When Othello protests \u201cI had been happy, if the general camp,/ Pioneers and all, had tasted her sweet body,/ So I had nothing known\u201d (Act III, Scene III), he curses the knowledge that brought to light the obsession with Desdemona.\nThe treachery of the woman is a challenge to the male\u2019s knowledge of his own sexuality because the man is then not enough of a man; he is not the possessor but the possessed. For the knowledge to remain as power, the treachery in the body of the woman needs to be suppressed. The loss of maleness is a fear of homosexuality or a loss of knowledge or possession; this is what makes homosexuality a taboo in the Hindi film complex \u2014 it threatens the power and the knowledge that makes the power a reality. Shakespeare understands that the right to betray belongs to the weak and the oppressed whether it is Caliban in the Tempest or Shylock in The Merchant of Venice; or as Emilia says in Othello, it is the revenge of the woman-wife:\nBut I do think it is their husbands\u2019 faults\nIf wives do fall: say that they slack their duties,\nYet have we some revenge. (Act IV, Scene III)\nThe pure woman is the antithesis to the treacherous woman. The mother must fight the battle with the whore for the body of the son/husband. In the 1975 Hindi film Deewaar (The Wall) \u2014 withVijay the brother who is a law-breaker as opposed to Ravi (Shashi Kapoor) the honest, law-preserving brother \u2014 the mother-whore conflict is at its most overt. The body of the son belongs to Anita (Parveen Babi) \u2014 the woman who sleeps with the lover without being married to him \u2014 while his soul is already committed to the \u201cpure\u201d mother who would rather she be raped and humiliated on a daily basis than do anything that is not righteous \u2014 which means a woman without a body of her own who has completely given herself to preserving the male body.\nThe other dimension of the so-called \u201ctreachery\u201d is the fact that with the mistress or the prostitute, the man has a freedom that is impossible with the wife who is also the mother of his children. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay\u2019s novel Devdas (1917), in its many screen versions based on the theme of unrequited love and extraordinarily popular with Indian masses, explores the possibility of having a lover within marriage. Says Engels: \u201cProbably the only reason why the Catholic Church abolished divorce was because it had convinced itself that there is no more a cure for adultery than there is for death.\u201d The sexual rights of women in developed nations are subtly connected to the acceptance of the fact of betrayal in relationships that cannot be changed, just as one would accept death as natural. The point is more about preserving patriarchy through a value system abounding in contradictions and not about either \u201csex\u201d or \u201clove.\u201d Engels points out: \u201cThe modern individual family is founded on the open or concealed domestic slavery of the wife, and modern society is a mass composed of these individual families as its molecules.\u201d In enslaving the wife, patriarchy\u2019s goals are achieved. Who has the power to define what is a \u201cvalue\u201d is the real issue. That way the family as an institution keeps the woman in a state of perpetual defensiveness without giving her the opportunity to challenge the \u201cwisdom\u201d of men.\nIn Hindi cinema, the \u201crighteous\u201d mother preserves patriarchy in its elemental forms. In fact, she is the source of patriarchy and thus the \u201cliberated\u201d woman\u2019s worst enemy because she is opposed to liberation even in its superficial forms. Liberation is equated to prostitution, and the \u201cliberated woman\u201d a whore because she confronts what Foucault calls the \u201ctruth\u201d constituted as knowledge through a \u201cdiscourse\u201d of sexuality which in this case is that of a male whose body stands on that uncertain precipice of a fantasy that his maleness cannot exist without \u2014 the purity of woman.\nWhat I want to show is how power relations can materially penetrate the body in depth, without depending even on the mediation of the subject\u2019s own representations. If power takes hold of the body, this isn\u2019t through its having first to be interiorized in people\u2019s consciousness. There is a network or circuit of bio-power, or somato-power, which acts as the formative matrix of sexuality itself as the historical and cultural phenomenon within which we seem at once to recognize and lose ourselves. (Power/Knowledge 186)\nAt the unconscious level it is homosexuality that fears the knowledge exposing the vulnerable ego and turning the \u201cfucker\u201d into the \u201cfucked.\u201d\nFemale treachery reduces the active male from being the fucker to the passive state of being the \u201cfucked.\u201d These are two entirely different kinds of knowledges and different kinds of powers or truths we associate with the knowledges. The underlying point is that both of them are constructions that use \u201creality\u201d to create a context in which they exist as knowledge. The Othello complex is not about Desdemona but about Othello fearing the possibility that he could be homosexual. The compulsive-obsessive Raj Kapoor in the 1964 Hindi movie Sangam \u2014 with the ancient theme of two male friends and one female body \u2014 is the archetype of the brothers who fight the battle to decide who takes the woman and thus assert the triumph of a definition of \u201cmaleness\u201d rooted in what Adrienne Rich calls \u201ccompulsive heterosexuality\u201d .\nThrough \u201ccompulsive heterosexuality\u201d the Hindi cinema taboos homosexuality except in the terms set by the heterosexual world-view. Thus a movie such as Dostana (2008) with straight men pretending to be gay is a parody \u2014 we see echoes of the parody in Wycherley\u2019s Restoration drama The Country Wife, which begins with the memorable line from Horner: \u201cA quack is as fit for a pimp, as a midwife for a bawd; they are still but in their way, both helpers of nature\u201d (McMillin 4). Engels dwells on the point in the chapter on \u201cThe Monogamous Family\u201d: \u201cTogether with monogamous marriage and hetaerism, adultery became an unavoidable social institution \u2014 denounced, severely penalized, but impossible to suppress.\u201d\nAdultery is a \u201csocial institution\u201d in class society that is \u201cimpossible to suppress\u201d because it serves as a basis for the institutions of marriage and family. The idealization of love that transgresses social barriers without transforming an oppressive context is another way of making sure that adultery continues to exist as a social institution. The Taj Mahal that figures as an icon of male love not just in the movie Taj Mahal \u2014 the 1963 version and the 2005 version Taj Mahal, An Eternal Love Story \u2014 but also in popular culture, is a thin disguise to the female aesthetic beyond which is the labor value of woman that every man knows is indispensable for his existence. More revealing is the myth of the Anarkali celebrated in movies such as Anarkali (1953) and Mughal-e-Azam (1960) \u2014 the ever-seductive dancing woman \u2014 for whom the prince is willing to rebel against his emperor-father and abandon his kingdom. However, in the end the woman has to make way for the men to reconcile, and feudal-bourgeois male supremacy prevails. In other words, the property remains intact and the bonding is confirmed.\nThis bonding that preserves property is true of the caste system in India, which in an important way defines sexuality in Hindi cinema through its connection with \u201cpurity\u201d and \u201cblood.\u201d Romanticizing a nonexistent romance called the family is in essence what patriarchy in India is all about. If women cannot be generalized as a class in itself, then it makes sense to see that the middle-class Indian woman embodies the soul of patriarchy. Her imaginary bastion is the family. Her ultimate source of security is the father-figure as reflected in the husband-brother-son equation.\nThe bourgeois family cannot exist in the absence of the institution of prostitution, which is why the male born in this order is schizophrenic and trapped between the unconditionally giving mother and the tantalizing whore. Ideally, he needs to be mothered by the whore in bed. In her absolute devotion to the husband and the family and in motherhood, the woman has to retain her inner purity although defiled in flesh the moment she lies with the man. The corrupt and seductive whore complements the frigid purity of the woman. In the colonial male imagination, the suppression takes the character of tyranny. The caging of the woman\u2019s being works at a physical and emotional level as much as the spiritual.\n\u201cVirginal\u201d Obsessions\nTo understand Hindi cinema is to understand the homoerotic nature of the obsessions underlying purity associated with the \u201cbody,\u201d especially when it comes to the virginity of the woman. The same homoerotic tendency to preserve caste purity underlies the need to preserve virginity and for a male to seek such purity in the female. They cannot be middle-aged women or women with a child or two \u2014 but a girl at the peak of her virginal angst, when she is caught in the bloom of her body flowering within the \u201cprison\u201d of her soul. Foucault says in \u201cThe Body of the Condemned\u201d: \u201cThe soul is the effect and instrument of a political anatomy; the soul is the prison of the body\u201d (Discipline and Punish 30).\nThe obsession with \u201cvirginity\u201d is an offshoot of what Freud identifies as the anal-retentive personality. It\u2019s a personality that rejects emotional growth and whose adulthood is merely an extended childhood. The extension of male childhood right into old age while being mothered by the \u201cuntouchable virgin\u201d is a theme that runs through Hindi movies \u2014 so much so that even the \u201cwesternized\u201d Pia played by Kareena Kapoor in Rajkumar Hirani\u2019s Three Idiots (2009) is hardly exempt from it. The refusal to grow up is what defines the Indian hero from the 1949 movie Barsaat, where the male protagonist is the source of unrequited love to the present and must prove through violence his \u201cunrequited\u201d status. At the end of the Barsaat, the womanizing Gopal, played by Prem Nath, comes to realize the faithfulness of the woman who loves him \u2014 Neela played by Nimmi \u2014 but by then it is too late and she\u2019s ready to die. Her death is transcendental proof of her having fulfilled her maternal function of \u201cgiving\u201d in a virginal state of being.\nFemale subjugation is the other face of female worship in India. The disempowered mother is a reflection of the so-called empowerment of motherhood we see in Mehboob\u2019s Mother India (1957). To worship is to alienate because imaginary attributes \u2014 the most important being purity as opposed to pollution \u2014 take the place of real ones. The obsession with the \u201cpure\u201d mother in her ironically \u201cvirginal\u201d form can be seen in all movements that claim uniqueness \u2014 linguistic and regional variations of Mother India \u2014 whether it is Telugu \u201cthalli\u201d (mother) or Telangana \u201cthalli.\u201d The asexual mother is a masculine invention because motherhood is not connected to the person but to the abstract untainted body. At the core of female subjugation in India is this untainted body of the \u201cvirgin mother,\u201d which is colonial in its deepest sense, combining a feudal mindset with a corporate liberal framework. What happens in effect is that across class and caste, Indian women tend to be in an ideologically \u201cinferior\u201d position, and centuries of oppression keep resurging wearing new masks to perpetuate the base of a casteist and sexist social and political order.\nThe ideal woman is born out of this separation of the woman from her sexuality. The ideal woman doesn\u2019t exist, and neither does the ideal Indian woman as an epitome of patience like Mother earth except in the male imagination. In her 2005 essay \u201cWomen Writers, Islam, and the Ghost of Zulaikha,\u201d the Turkish woman novelist Elif Shafak refers to the dissociation of a woman from her sexuality. The same thing is reflected in women writers as well. As Shafak points out:\nFirst, the woman writer systematically refrains from writing on sexuality until she is \u201cold.\u201d Only when she is old and safe, does she start to write unreservedly on these issues. Thus, we have numerous examples of women writers waiting until they are in their sixties, then publishing books unlike anything they have written before, almost pornographic.\nSecond, the woman writer does write on sexuality, but at the same time desexualizes herself. The less reserved and \u201cseamy\u201d her writing, the more reserved and \u201creputable\u201d she attempts to become. Here the writer defeminizes and desexualizes herself. The openness of the text is counterbalanced with the \u201cchastity\u201d of the author. This particular model of defeminized women also perfectly fits neatly into the pattern of comrade-women in Turkey, which the Kemalist reformists have systematically encouraged.\nThird, the woman writer chooses to speed up the flow of time because it is easier to be respected as an old woman in a patriarchal society than as a young woman. Thus, we end up with women in their thirties acting as if they were in their sixties. In the Middle East women age quickly, leaping from the category of \u201cvirgins\u201d to \u201cold women,\u201d as if there is nothing in between. The quicker the jump, the more esteem and authority a woman writer earns in the eyes of the society.\nThe Indian woman on the Bollywood screen is isolated from her sexuality. Her sexuality is owned by an emotionally impotent male. This separation of the Indian woman from her sexuality or her body is the essence of a patriarchal society, where the nation-state is wedded to a civil society whose objective is to keep class relations intact. Thus we see Ramu Kaka, a popular character in most Hindi movies \u2014 the Indian version of Uncle Tom \u2014 a refined version of the eunuch from the Ottoman harem, except that in this case the former is mentally castrated. Ramu Kaka or Uncle Ramu is the stereotypical image of the asexual male servant \u2014 the loyal avuncular Ramu \u2014 who sees the women of the house of the master as his daughters or mothers or sisters and is happy to be serving in his role as a servant. In other words, the women are untouchable both physically and mentally. It would amount to incest not to mention absolute disloyalty to touch them.\nIn connection with the asexual male servant is another stereotype, which is that of the sexual innocence of children, especially if they\u2019re girl children and women in the roles of mothers or sisters-in-law or daughters-in-law. This sterile, repressed atmosphere where everyone is holier than thou is common in Bollywood representation of women. In real life such categories are meaningless because they prove that the hardest thing for us to confront is the fact that children and women are sexual beings as much as they\u2019re other things.\nThe thin line that separates the ideal from idealism is nowhere more evident than in romantic love. In some sense, both are extraordinary discourses that have a lot in common. Their extraordinariness comes from the fact that they\u2019re outside the realm of the norm. Since the norm shares the features of the ideal, the ideal responds to the demands of the norm. The relationship between \u201cconsumerism\u201d and \u201cromanticism\u201d essentially explains what makes the ideal the normal \u2014 in the sense that the \u201cromantic couple\u201d of the Hindi movie is the objectification of a relationship that has no basis in reality. Reality is modest in the same way that representation is not meant to be. Representation accentuates certain elements of reality. The representation of the woman in Hindi cinema accentuates elements that fall within the parameters of male desire. \u201cFemininity becomes nothing more than a dissimulation of a fundamental masculinity\u201d (A Feminine Cinematics: Luce Irigaray, Women & Film 82).\nKarel Kosik, in Dialectics of the Concrete, talks about the relationship between \u201cthings and persons\u201d in capitalist economies. The logic of the relationship between things and persons is further intensified in the case of women. There is a base objectification that serves as the foundation for every other kind of objectification. In capitalism, women serve as the base or the edifice on which every other objectification is raised \u2014 an illusion of bodies that keeps the reality of things alive.\nIn capitalist economies, things and persons become interchangeable. Things are personified and persons are reified. Things are invested with a will and consciousness, i.e., their movement is conscious and willful, and people turn into agents and executors of the movement of things. The will and consciousness of people are determined by the objective course of things: the movement of things employs the will and consciousness of people as its own medium. (116)\nOnce we acknowledge the reality of the object, we endow it with a \u201cwill and consciousness\u201d and as happens in the case of computer graphics, the personhood can be given from the outside without it having to emerge from within. The lack of personhood as a creative function in the case of women is what shows mainstream Hindi cinema in a poor light. What we call \u201cmainstream\u201d or \u201cpopular\u201d has to be understood as elitist and masculine representations of women; a personification of objects endowed with a female body and feminine characteristics is conversely to give the \u201creal\u201d woman an objective character. If what is popular is an elite understanding of popular, what is reality is what ideology that takes the place of the real is.\nThe profound insight that might actually be commonplace if you look at it straight is that gender is as important a parameter as class to understand inequality; that gender might actually be at the heart of the class war; that in the absence of gender oppression the class oppression could in fact disappear. In India, the woman knows oppression merely by the fact of being woman \u2014 in the Heideggerian sense of being-in-the-world. The suppression of the sexual, social, and moral rights of the woman at the heart of the cultural and political economy, which in practice can barely be dissociated from one another, constitutes the nation-state reflecting the so-called goals of a postcolonial society.\nFemale-centered movies such as Jab we met (2007) and Ugly aur Pagli (2008), in an attempt to market the \u201cglobalized\u201d Indian woman, are in fact to a large extent a repackaging of the runaway brat-of-a-daughter that Nargis played in the 1956 movie Chori Chori, a remake of Frank Capra\u2019s It Happened One Night (1934). The American dream that Capra \u2014 a Sicilian-born immigrant in the United States \u2014 defined for the audience of the 1930s and \u201940s is now the global dream that America has successfully marketed in the past couple of decades. The Kareena Kapoor Jab we Met type of girl is another version of Nargis from Chori Chori pushed from 1956 into the year 2007. The backdrop to movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and Bride and Prejudice (2004) that show the Punjabi woman as liberated, frolicky and free to choose is a rate of female feticide so alarmingly high that it has caused a demographic crisis in the Northern states of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, Uttaranchal, Maharashtra, Chandigarh and Delhi.\nIn the essay \u201cAlgeria Unveiled,\u201d Frantz Fanon observes that the Algerian woman is given an illusion of freedom while the nation is colonized by Europeans (Duara 44). The liberal European opens the door for the Algerian woman while at the same time suppressing her cultural and political space of resistance. The oppression of women by the Algerian male makes the prospect of Europeanization seem attractive. The European alternative for the Eastern woman is an illusion because it is built on the colonization of resources in the third world. Fanon captures the colonial or neocolonial dimension of globalization in the third world that turns women into commodities while ideologically claiming to liberate the very women trapped in the clutches of a male-dominated society:\nThe colonial administration invested great sums in this combat. After it had been posited that the woman constituted the pivot of Algerian society, all efforts were made to obtain control over her. The Algerian, it was assured, would not stir, would resist the task of cultural destruction undertaken by the occupier, would oppose assimilation, so long as his woman had not reversed the stream. In the colonialist program, it was the woman who was given the historic mission of shaking up the Algerian man. Converting the woman, winning her over to the foreign values, wrenching her free from her status, was at the same time achieving a real power over the man and attaining a practical, effective means of destructuring Algerian culture (Duara 45).\nHindi movies constitute the ideological base that props the globalization of markets serving the interests of powerful elites in the third world and their Western masters in the first world. The position that the woman occupies in Hindi cinema defines a pan-Indian sensibility where free market liberalism battles reactionary ultra-nationalist forces for the bodies of women or in effect for their labor value aestheticized through the institution of the family.\nThe Brothers De Facto\nLove\u2019s greatest deceit is that, replacing the real woman, it makes us toy with a doll that lives in our brain, the only woman whom we have always at hand and can ever really possess. And gradually, to our own sorrow, we force the real woman to resemble this factitious creation\u201d \u2014 Proust 111\nThe ideal woman originates in a real situation called the family that is reinforced and in turn reinforces the romanticizing of the female body or femininity. The \u201cdoll in the brain\u201d is the only \u201creal\u201d woman that patriarchy is willing to tolerate as embodying womanhood. There is no \u201cwoman\u201d outside the woman in the masculine imaginary. The outside woman terrorizes notions of masculinity at the core. Therefore, the doll is meaningful because it removes that dreadful contradiction between being male and wanting to be a man. The importance of virginity as a sign of purity is a logical extension of the \u201cdoll in the brain\u201d syndrome. Remove the dolls and there is no patriarchy. Even if in itself it means nothing, virginity is essential to retain the dollness of the doll. In his essay \u201cThe Taboo of Virginity\u201d (1918), Freud says:\nFew details of the sexual life of primitive peoples are so alien to our own feelings as their estimate of virginity, the state in a woman of being untouched. The high value which her suitor places on a woman\u2019s virginity seems to us so firmly rooted, so much a matter of course, that we find ourselves almost at a loss if we have to give reasons for this opinion. The demand that a girl shall not bring to her marriage with a particular man any memory of sexual relations with another is, indeed, nothing other than a logical continuation of the right to exclusive possession of a woman, which forms the essence of monogamy, the extension of this monopoly to cover the past. (191)\nThe reason Freud forgets to add in this description is patriarchy, which justifies the \u201cexclusive possession of a woman.\u201d This line of thought is not pursued in the essay because it challenges what psychoanalysis and Freud stand for. As Irigaray notes: \u201cPsychoanalysis needs to reconsider the very limits of its theoretical and practical field, needs to detour through an \u2018interpretation\u2019 of the cultural background and the economy, especially the political economy, that have marked it, without its knowledge\u201d (TSWINO 66-67). In not being able to recognize the \u201cpolitical economy\u201d that has marked psychoanalysis \u201cwithout its knowledge,\u201d Freud and psychoanalysis are guilty of embracing the fundamental premises that define patriarchal oppression of women. The languages of women within the patriarchal discourse fighting to articulate their beingness are completely ignored. The political economy that turns women into mental patients is as important as the fact of the illness.\nWomen in the movies of Kenji Mizoguchi (1898-1956) tend to display an alternate aesthetic embodying rebellion and the language of protest. They\u2019re quintessentially Japanese, and their rebellion against the world of men is because they are deprived of what is rightfully theirs in a culture they helped create with their bodies and their imagination. Their contribution as women is denied to them because they\u2019re women, while at the same time they\u2019re exploited for being women in a masculine social order that preys on female flesh. To live without human dignity they find impossible to accept and fight in every way possible to recover their selfhood.\n\u201cI won\u2019t let a thing like this make me lose to men. I\u2019ll stand up to any man who would do a cowardly thing to a geisha just because he couldn\u2019t get his way with her . . . No matter how much we do for men they abandon us when it suits them,\u201d says the critically battered but defiant geisha who refuses to lose her inner self to the world of men in Mizoguchi\u2019s Sisters of the Gion (1936). The geisha has no illusions about the reality of her situation. Her pitilessness toward the world of men comes from the pitiless condition in which she is caught as a woman and from which there seems no escape except to protest as loudly and as bitterly as possible.\nComplacent, demeaning, and groveling for male attention \u2014 there is nothing in the Indian woman on the screen that makes one feel they belong to this cultural space as creators or inventors. Culture is a much broader term than tradition. While exclusive notions of tradition are constantly emphasized in a superficial sense that privileges the family, we never see the Indian woman \u201cprotest\u201d except when her sense of belonging to a tradition is taken away from her. What she is \u201cfighting\u201d for is to be enslaved and subjugated within the \u201csecure\u201d confines of the home. A historical sense of possessing a creative self that comes from an understanding of one\u2019s role in making a culture is conspicuous by its absence in the case of Bollywood representations of women.\nIrigaray\u2019s point that \u201cFemale sexuality has always been conceptualized on the basis of masculine parameters\u201d (23) is a defining statement for the woman on the male-dominated screen. Underlying the brotherhood of man that movies as sinisterly simple-minded as Three Idiots are out to portray is a phallic sense of oneness that identifies the \u201cparameters\u201d of \u201cfemale sexuality.\u201d The \u201cidiots\u201d are one \u2014 they bond before they know each other based on their maleness, a bonding that is imperative to an understanding of how sex as a biological category and sex as in sexual intercourse are \u201cone\u201d with reference to the body of the woman; the woman in the male fantasy is sexualized by virtue of being female. While on the one hand the body of the woman stands for the possibility of desire, on the other hand it reflects the absence of fulfillment. In a patriarchal society, the ideal woman is the castrated male. She thinks and feels like a man but has the body of a woman. Fulfillment to a male therefore must enter the realm of duties and obligations directed toward the preservation of property.\nThe reproduction of the male fantasy is in essence Hindi cinema at its musical best. As Irigaray notes:\nWoman, in this [masculine] sexual imaginary, is only a more or less obliging prop for the enactment of man\u2019s fantasies. That she may find pleasure there in that role, by proxy, is possible, even certain. But such pleasure is above all a masochistic prostitution of her body to a desire that is not her own, and it leaves her in a familiar state of dependency upon man. Not knowing what she wants, ready for anything, even asking for more, so long as he will \u201ctake\u201d her as his \u201cobject\u201d when he seeks his own pleasure. Thus she will not say what she herself wants; moreover, she does not know, or no longer knows, what she wants. (TSWINO 25)\nThe masculine \u201csexual imaginary\u201d has its prehistoric origins that Freud talks about in Totem and Taboo. In the war of the brothers who fought for primacy to overcome the father, women played the central role of being objects that each man wanted all for himself. This primal fantasy is reenacted in Hindi cinema each time the \u201chero\u201d \u2014 a popular term for the protagonist \u2014 defies the father only in turn to become the father and partakes in the murder of the other brothers who want the woman for themselves. The preservation of the woman is the preservation of property or what is proper to a man. Homosexuality is the background to the fantasy at a point when the brothers are on their own plotting against the father. Freud puts it thus:\nThough the brothers had banded together in order to overcome their father, they were all one another\u2019s rivals in regard to the women. Each of them would have wished, like his father, to have all the women to himself. The new organization would have collapsed in a struggle of all against all, for none of them was of such overmastering strength as to be able to take on his father\u2019s part with success. Thus the brothers had no alternative, if they were to live together, but \u2014 not, perhaps, until they had passed through many dangerous crises \u2014 to institute the law against incest, by which they all alike renounced the women whom they desired and who had been their chief motive for despatching their father. In this way they rescued the organization which had made them strong \u2014 and which may have been based on homosexual feelings and acts, originating perhaps during the period of their expulsion from the horde. (167)\nThe brothers might be vanquished, but brotherhood has to be sustained at all costs. The man will thus continue to be a man more than ever before. Perhaps manhood is the issue and not man. As Irigaray in Speculum of the Other Woman, a critical analysis of Freudian psychoanalysis and its understanding of the feminine, says:\nReally successful femininity cannot lay claim to being ideal or confer an ideal upon itself. It lacks a mirror appropriate for doing so. The narcissistic ideal for a woman will have been and theoretically is still the man she desired to become. Narcissism and her pact with the ideal would derive from phallic domination. Which woman has the task of supporting. Whence the fact that she will choose the man she would like to have been. And this, essentially, would satisfy the man\u2019s interests, for he would not have to step out of his gender, ideally. To woo, he would need only to correspond as closely as possible to the most perfect self-image, be as narcissistic as possible, an \u201cabsolute\u201d model of narcissism. A woman would support that \u201cmodel\u201d with her \u201cown\u201d narcissistic project, and the model would thus have the advantage, and the excuse, of appeasing, satisfying, and, above all, healing, female narcissism. (105)\nThe Indian woman on the Bollywood screen is the Indian male that she wants to become. The narcissism of the urbanized Indian heroine celebrated in Ugly aur Pagli, Jab we met, Three Idiots, and most other movies conforms to \u201cphallic domination\u201d; the phallus is at the center of masculine ontology; Hindi cinema is essentially a phallocentric discourse that retains the manhood of the man by making sure that his interests are not sacrificed and he does \u201cnot have to step out of his gender, ideally.\u201d While \u201cphallic domination\u201d makes the narcissism of the Indian woman on the screen a reality, a different kind of reality stares in the face of the viewer: the reality of the subjugated and the reality of subjugation; the reality of countless women in the villages and the small towns who are outsiders to the screen that embodies male self-love in its \u201cideal\u201d manifestations; a reality that rejects the thought of being turned into an object of consumption, one that dares to destroy the so-called ideal and replace it with truth originating in a social and political condition and not a fantasy.\nBainbridge, Caroline.

I still do photography on the side, but I am very happy with my transition to Real Estate!\nI am passionate about the growth of BSW Real Estate and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how we expand going forward!\nThe most rewarding part of working for BSW Real Estate has been the culture of giving. I have always been passionate about volunteerism and supporting causes near to my heart (I went to college on a civic engagement scholarship and I have a minor in nonprofit management), and I am so grateful to be surrounded by a team that shares that passion. Bret, Rhyan, and all of our teammates are always volunteering and giving or sharing new ways to volunteer and give and I love how I am constantly inspired and challenged by them!\nI work mostly on the administrative side and I love getting to work with all of the Realtors on our team.

I enjoy hiking, off-roading, and hot springs as part of my mountain adventures and I am looking forward to adding snowshoeing this year! I\u2019ve played volleyball my whole life and I am so lucky to have found some great teammates here. We have played indoors, and on sand and grass together so far.

        "raw_content": "LIFESTYLE\u00b7 THANKSGIVING\nI can\u2019t believe the holidays are in full swing. It doesn\u2019t feel like November has already flown by and we will sitting down at the Thanksgiving table tomorrow surrounded by family and friends. Thanksgiving means the expression of gratitude. This is a time that we join together and share all that we are thankful for.\nWhen life gets busy that it is difficult to see the blessings in our lives. We become accustomed to a certain standard of living and may not see certain things as a privilege.\nI had the opportunity to visit Cuba in September with my husband and parents. It was a trip that we have wanted to take for a long time. We have been to other Caribbean islands but wanted to see what Cuba was all about. Were they really stuck in the 1950\u2019s with classic cars? We needed to see this for ourselves. We honestly didn\u2019t know what we were getting ourselves into when we took this trip.\nWhen you are on a cruise and visit islands in the Caribbean the cruise line is very selective with where you go. Modern amenities are available, the islanders speak English, and you have luxuries that you have at home. This is not true for Cuba. As we were making our way into the port of Havana we were greeted on the left by an old fort and on the right was the bustling city. At least that\u2019s the way it looked to us. At first glance the city was beautiful, but then we started to make our way closer to land and into the port.\nThe city wasn\u2019t what it seemed. There was one cruise terminal open. The other two were crumbling and did not have roofs. The roads within the city were paved but not every section was good condition. The sidewalks were cracked and had potholes. Most buildings had no windows. Air conditioning was almost nonexistent within the city. Most buildings were in disrepair. It was eye-opening. We were in Havana, the capital city of the country. I can not imagine what the rest of the country looks like. It is not what we are used to in America.\nWe attended a short presentation about Cuba before entering the country on our guided tours. This is what stood out to me \u2013 we were told to bring our own toilet paper off of the cruise ship. If we stopped for the restroom toilet paper would not be available or we would pay per square. Toilet paper is a luxury! This isn\u2019t even something we think twice about in America.\nWe made our way into a few shops on our tour. At one point I stopped to help my mom out of one of the buildings. The stairs were not even and when you stepped down back to the sidewalk you were greeted with a pothole. There was no rail to help you down the stairs. If we hadn\u2019t been on a tour we wouldn\u2019t have known this was even a shop by the outside appearance.\nI am not telling you all of this to cast a negative light on Cuba. The Cuban citizens we interacted with were welcoming and opened their arms to us. They were friendly and accommodating. Despite the state of the city we plan to visit again. We will visit by cruise ship so we have the amenities and foods we are used to. However, it was truly a humbling experience.\nThis Thanksgiving I urge you to give thanks for those little things as well. Even if you are not well off as an American you are better off than much of the world. Give thanks for things in life like toilet paper, running water, and air conditioning, that we often take for granted.\nThanksgiving is about the little things in life that we often overlook.\n\u00ab An Honest Review of the Beautiful Restored 316 Themes\n15 Festive Christmas Movies You Need to Watch \u00bb",

Others affected did not specify the cost of buying Renewable Identification Number (RINs), paper credits used to meet quotas for blending biofuel into gasoline and diesel.\nWhile it has long been clear that refiners lacking the facilities to blend their own fuel would end up footing a billion-dollar-plus RINs tab last year, the data may give the companies more firepower as they urge regulators to stick to a proposal to cut back ethanol requirements for this year.\nA final rule is due to be completed in the coming months, and some analysts say the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could alter the proposal after outcry from the biofuel lobby.\nThe review also highlights how the impact was unevenly distributed, with independent refiners CVR Refining CVRR.N and LyondellBasell (LYB.N) alone shouldering more than a fifth of the cost although they only account for 2.5 percent of the nation\u2019s daily refining capacity.\nGina Bowman, CVR\u2019s vice president of government relations, called the market for the credits \u201cvolatile and unfair\u201d and pointed to it as evidence for why the biofuel blending regulations need to be reformed.\nValero Energy Corp (VLO.N), the biggest U.S. refiner with 10 percent of capacity, spent about $517 million on RINs in 2013.\n\u201cWe were clear that Valero could not bear that cost alone, so much or all was passed on to consumers,\u201d said Valero spokesman Bill Day. The company estimates that it will spend another $250 million to $350 million on RINs in 2014.\nSome biofuel proponents say the tab is not as large as it sounds when compared with the overall profits the industry is making. In 2013, the refiners that disclosed RIN costs made $9.4 billion in net profits, according to their filings, excluding one refiner whose parent company is an airline.\nStill, the data highlights the burden that many refiners face under U.S. environmental regulations that require them to mix increasing amounts of ethanol into their gasoline output.\nIn 2012, before an unprecedented price spike sent the credits up as much as 2,900 percent, six of the refiners that disclosed their RIN costs put the tab at $427 million.\nSome that did disclose them in 2013 did not do so in 2012, when the credits\u2019 cost was not as material an expense. RIN prices rose as high as $1.45 each in July 2013, up from about 5 cents each at the end of 2012. They traded for 52.5 cents each on Friday.\nThe regulatory burden is at the heart of a fierce lobbying battle between refiners fighting to ease the rules and ethanol proponents hoping to keep them in place. Saddled with hundreds of millions in additional costs, refiners turned up the ante in Washington last year, successfully convincing environmental regulators that ethanol blending capacity had hit its peak.\nIn November, the EPA explicitly recognized the so-called \u201cblend wall,\u201d proposing to cut corn ethanol blending quotas from 14.4 billion gallons to about 13 billion gallons for 2014. The proposal caused RINs to fall as low as 22 cents each.\nBut in recent months, RINs have risen anew, largely on uncertainty over whether the proposed cuts will stay in place. The EPA\u2019s proposal is not yet finalized, and since it was unveiled in November, the biofuel industry has redoubled its efforts lobbying the White House and the EPA to change course.\nIn February, EPA administrator Gina McCarthy caused a stir in the RINs market after telling state agricultural officials that the final rule will be \u201cin a shape that you will see that we have listened to your comments.\nThe American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, which represents the refining industry, said the RIN bill showed the need for the EPA to keep its proposed cuts in place.\n\u201cWhat was supposed to be a transaction cost has become this artificial commodity that is obviously costing fuel producers,\u201d said Brendan Williams, senior vice president of advocacy for the group. \u201cWhat it does is it shows you the blend wall\u2019s here.\u201d\nProponents of the blending regulations say the higher compliance costs should incentivize refiners to do what they should under the law: blend more ethanol into their fuel output to avoid paying the higher costs.\nBut only a handful of them, such as Marathon Petroleum Corp (MPC.N), the No. 5 refiner, said in its filings that the company curbed the cost rise by investing in blending infrastructure.\nA Marathon spokesman said the company began investing in its terminals several years ago to allow for gasoline to be blended with up to 10 percent ethanol at all of its facilities.\nMany others simply paid the costs. Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL.N), which bought a 185,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery in Trainer, Pennsylvania, in 2012, said it paid $64 million for the credits because the plant does not blend biofuels.\nThe company said in an annual U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing that it was \u201cpursuing legal, regulatory and legislative solutions to this problem.\u201d\nOthers refiners, such as Tesoro Corp TSO.N said it dipped into reserves of the credits built up the previous year to meet compliance obligations. The so-called \u201cbanked RINs\u201d could be in short supply if mandates go higher in 2014.\nMeanwhile, a handful of smaller operators, including CVR and Delek US Holdings (DK.N), said they have applied for exemptions from the blending rules for some plants. The EPA has granted the so-called hardship exemption to at least one refinery, Alon USA Energy\u2019s ALJ.N Krotz Springs, Louisiana, plant.\nThere are currently 14 active exemption requests under consideration by the EPA, according to the agency\u2019s website.\nThe total tally in RIN costs is likely more than $1.5 billion including refiners such as Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES), owned by the Carlyle Group (CG.O), which operates the biggest plant on the East Coast.\nThe firm is not required to disclose the company\u2019s financial details, but last October Chief Executive Officer Philip Rinaldi said RIN costs could be as much as $250 million for 2013. A spokeswoman declined to provide an updated figure, saying only that last year\u2019s costs were \u201cvery substantial.\u201d\n\u201cDid merchant refiners take a hit? Yes, but that affected their shareholders, not the American public,\u201d said Todd Becker, chief executive officer of Green Plains Renewable Energy, a Nebraska-based ethanol producer.\nHe said that looking at both sides of the market, the run-up in RIN costs had not driven up gasoline prices, as some refiners have said.\n\u201cIt was a zero-sum game. The blenders had a windfall.\u201d\nConspicuous by their silence are large oil majors, such as BP Plc (BP.L) and Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.L), which operate U.S. refineries as well as biofuel blending operations. Last July, BP\u2019s top refining executive said the company did \u201cquite well\u201d trading its surplus RINs for a profit.\nSome pipeline operators, such as Kinder Morgan Energy Partners KMP.N, also said in its filings that the company made money selling RINs, though they did not provide exact figures.\nThe biggest known beneficiary, according to a search of public SEC filings, was Murphy USA Inc (MUSA.N), a gasoline station chain, which said it sold 171 million RINs in 2013 for a total of $91.4 million - a windfall compared with the company\u2019s $8.9 million of sales the prior year.\nVitol S.A. VITOLV.UL, the world\u2019s largest oil trader and a leading importer of Brazilian ethanol, has been one of the biggest traders in the market and is believed to have done well in the run-up in RIN prices. It is unclear how it has fared lately.\nReporting by Cezary Podkul; Editing by Jonathan Leff and Lisa Shumaker",

        "raw_content": "Look out U.S., here comes Gustavo Dudamel\nLOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Look out America \u2014 or, make that the United States of America \u2014 Gustavo Dudamel is headed your way.\nVenezuelan born Gustavo Dudamel, the new music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, takes part in a press briefing in Los Angeles September 30, 2009. REUTERS/Fred Prouser\nOn May 10, the curly-haired maestro of the Los Angeles Philharmonic will embark on his first ever U.S. tour as music director of the \u201cL.A. Phil,\u201d introducing the conductor who is known as a rock star of the classical music world and his new orchestra to audiences in eight major U.S. cities.\nSeveral months after taking over at the helm of one of the world\u2019s top orchestras, the 29 year-old Dudamel is settling into his role, moving beyond the hype that accompanied his appointment and focusing on his work.\nWhenever he can, he spreads a message to fans that seems unusual in this city of Hollywood stars and media moguls.\nIt\u2019s not about me, he says.\n\u201cThe attention is amazing and I love that. It\u2019s true when you have the attention of people, things go well.\u201d\nBut, he is quick to add, \u201cIt\u2019s not about Gustavo Dudamel. It\u2019s not even about the L.A. Philharmonic. It\u2019s about the community.\u201d\nFor music lovers in the City of Angels, who have come to know the excitable Dudamel, his clarion call to civic responsibility sounds familiar, but to those outside it strikes a fresh note in what sometimes seems to be the insular world of orchestras and classical music.\nDudamel, who was born and raised in Venezuela, is the most famous product of \u201cEl Sistema,\u201d a network of music schools that gives instruments and instruction to kids of humble origin.\nThe program is known the world over for creating incredible musicians and instilling a life-long appreciation for music. It\u2019s a system Dudamel is working to replicate in Los Angeles.\nAlready, he has started a handful of local youth orchestras, which he occasionally conducts, and is adamant about wanting to make music accessible to everyone.\n\u201cIf it\u2019s an individual, in two days, (the music) is gone,\u201d he said, throwing up his arms, as he tends to do to make a point. \u201cIt\u2019s not personal. For me, the orchestra is the important thing \u2014 and the music.\u201d\nAlong with his vibrant personality and desire to spread music to the community, Dudamel often corrects people who think America is just the United States. He likes to point out that there is North, Central and South America, too, with many countries in each region.\nIn fact, the L.A. Phil is currently playing a program Dudamel has titled \u201cAmericas and Americans,\u201d which he describes as \u201cmeant to link us as a people, so that borders dissolve, and we find those common threads and musical moments which unite North and South American as one.\u201d\nThe programs have featured the works of Argentina\u2019s Osvaldo Golijov and Venezuela\u2019s Antonio Estevez, as well as U.S. composers like Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein and their familiar, foot-tapping pieces.\n\u201cThe chance to have all this music together in one festival is a dream coming true for me,\u201d said Dudamel.\nThe 8-city tour, which will feature works by U.S. composer John Adams, as well as Gustav Mahler and Tchaikovsky, begins May 10 in San Francisco and has stops in Phoenix, Nashville, Chicago, Washington D.C. and New York City, among others.\nAnd while it may be his first tour with the baton of the L.A. Phil in his hand, if his popularity in South America and Los Angeles is any indication, it won\u2019t be his last.",

        "raw_content": "Open Rotator Cuff Surgery: A Case Study in Orthopedic Medicine\nRuckman, Doug\nThe shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint. It enjoys the most freedom of movement of any joint in the human body. The humeral head (ball) fits into the socket of the glenoid cavity (socket). The cavity is less concave than most sockets in ball and socket joints, which allows for increased freedom of movement. This permits flexion, abduction, circumduction, and rotation. At the same time, the joint is anatomically less stable and must be stabilized in some manner. The rotator cuff is a series of tendons and tnuscles which stabilize the joint by keeping the humeral head firmly intact in the shoulder cavity. These tendons allow for flexibility and freedom of movement of the shoulder. The increased range of motion leaves the tendons susceptible to injury and is the source of many associated problems of the shoulder. Tendonitis is the most common shoulder problem that is associated with the rotator cuff. Tendonitis is simply an inflammation of the rotator cuff tendons and is most often caused by overuse at work or some activity where the rotator cuff is repeatedly stressed. It can also be caused by impingement, which is a pinching of the tendon between the head of the humerus and the overlying acromion. Tendonitis can be treated using anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy. The most debilitating injury associated with the rotator cuff is the tearing of a rotator cuff tendon. This injury predominately occurs in patients over the age of 30, as tendons become less lax and are more susceptible to tearing. This injury primarily occurs during jerking or lifting motions or falling. Slow deterioration of the rotator cuff tendon resulting from prolonged tendonitis and impingement can also cause the tendon to easily tear. Open surgery to repair the tendon is the only treatment that results in recovery to previous functioning levels.",

        "title": "Portland Chinese-American History Walking Tour | CAFAM Maine",
        "raw_content": "Portland Chinese-American History Walking Tour\nChinese people have lived in Portland since 1858. Unfortunately, most of the buildings in which Portland\u2019s historic Chinese community once lived and worked are no longer in existence having fallen victim to urban renewal and the ravages of time. Therefore, we must rely on our imagination to picture what used to be.\nThis tour is linear and does not make a complete loop back to the point of beginning. It covers approximately 2 miles to the last site on the tour. The return distance to the point of beginning from there is approximately one mile. The complete tour takes about 90 minutes to do, including the time needed to return to the point of beginning.\nSee the map at Google Maps\n1. Custom House Wharf\nThis walking tour begins on Portland\u2019s historic waterfront at 1 Custom House Wharf.\nThe northern end of this clapboard building, located on the east side of the wharf beginning at the rear of the brick building which faces onto Commercial Street, was the site of Maine\u2019s first known Chinese restaurant. Ar Tee Lam owned the restaurant which opened in 1880. Nothing is known of the restaurant\u2019s name or cuisine. However, since there were only 9 Chinese men among Portland\u2019s 33,810 residents at the time of the 1880 census, most likely the food served was overwhelmingly typical American with some highly Americanized versions of Chinese dishes such as chop suey. The restaurant closed about 1893.\nMr. Lam was also one of Maine\u2019s earliest Chinese residents to become a naturalized American citizen. His application for naturalization was approved in the Cumberland County Superior Court March 3, 1876. He was also the first Chinese man to become a registered Maine voter.\nWhen he registered November 28, 1891, Mr. Lam said that he had been born in China in 1837 and had lived in Portland for 33 years. He had previously voted in Portland. Prior to opening his restaurant he was a cigar maker and owned a tobacco shop at various locations on Federal Street from 1873 to 1879. On October 1, 1870 he pled guilty to \u201csearch and seizure,\u201d a legal euphemism for bootlegging, and paid a $50.00 fine in the Portland Municipal Court. He apparently repented of such behavior and joined the Congress Square Sunday School on Christmas 1870.\nLeaving Custom House Wharf, we take a right onto Commercial Street and head 2 blocks to Franklin Street where we turn left and walk uphill to its intersection with Congress Street.\n2. Congress Street\nThe grassy area between the north and southbound lanes of Franklin Street on the north side of Congress Street was the site of Ar Foo Fong\u2019s New Chinaman\u2019s Tea Shop in 1871.\nGeorge C. Shaw, the founder of what became the Shaw\u2019s Supermarket chain, was associated with a Guangdong tea merchant, Ar Showe. In 1860 Mr. Shaw opened a store, called the China Tea Company, at 135 Middle Street. He brought Ar Foo Fong to Portland to assist customers in choosing tea.\nMr. Fong wore traditional Chinese clothing while at work. His employer positioned him close to the store\u2019s front window where he was in full view of passers by. He soon became the talk of the town. By 1871 Mr. Fong had opened his own store at 333 Congress Street. An 1874 advertisement for his store boasted of \u201cA good assortment of Canned Fruits, Groceries, &c. Quick Sales and Small Profits.\u201d\nNow we head west on Congress Street opposite Lincoln Park where the First Baptist Church once stood at 353 Congress Street.\nThat church began its Chinese Sunday school, the second in Portland, about 1902 when Frank Chin Guey and a friend approached the church and asked to be taught the Bible and to be instructed in the English language. They were taken into the church\u2019s Sunday school and provided with an instructor. Mr. Guey persisted in his studies of English and Christianity eventually becoming a member of the church.\nAs interest grew among Portland\u2019s Chinese community, the church established a separate Chinese Sunday School which had about thirty-five members in July 1913.\nAt that time, Frank Chin Guey, who had owned a laundry in Portland for 12 years, returned home to Canton Province, China, to visit his elderly mother whom he had been supporting through his laundry earnings. Prior to his departure, the other members of the First Baptist Church\u2019s Chinese Sunday School arranged a banquet in his honor which was attended by nearly 200 parishioners and friends. In addition to spending time with his mother, he planned to do missionary work. He expected to remain in China for about two years. He left his brother in charge of his Temple Street laundry while he was gone.\nThe members of the First Baptist Church\u2019s Chinese Sunday school continued to host occasional banquets for parishioners and friends. In March 1916 about 200 attended a banquet in the vestry which was hung with the Chinese Republic\u2019s flag as well as the American flag. The menu consisted of grapefruit, soup, and roast turkey with mashed potatoes and all the usual \u201cfixings\u201d followed by cold meats and salad topped off by desert and coffee. The Sunday School class then presented a program in which various members read psalms and sang in both English and Chinese.\nThe First Baptist Church\u2019s Chinese Sunday School students and teachers also held an annual summer picnic at which they enjoyed sports and games as well as traditional Down East foods such as lobster and Chinese dishes. These picnics usually attracted about fifty participants.\nBy the time of World War II Portland\u2019s Chinese community was in decline. Most of the laundries had closed and the First Baptist Church\u2019s Chinese Sunday school followed suit in the early 1950s. The local Chinese ceased to have a communal focus.\nJust a little farther west we reach the former site of the Second Parish Congregational Church at 373 Congress Street. This church housed Portland\u2019s first Chinese Sunday School.\nAbout 1880, Mrs. H. F. Crocker, who was active in the Women\u2019s Christian Temperance Union as well as the Second Parish Church, gathered together four or five of Portland\u2019s Chinese laundrymen into the church\u2019s Sunday school. In December 1885 the class numbered nineteen and hosted a social evening at the church vestry.\nThereafter the church took an active interest in the spiritual well being of Portland\u2019s Chinese. Many Chinese used their connection with the church as an opportunity to learn English and to socialize with members of the larger society.\nIn 1887, the Chinese Sunday school students pooled their money and bought the church a communion table at a cost of about forty dollars. The church, which is now a Presbyterian church, continues to use that communion table, more than a hundred years later, at its new location at 32 Neal Street in Portland.\nBy 1888 the church had established a separate Sunday school for its twenty-four Chinese members with Miss Mary Baker as superintendent. Their average Sunday school attendance was about fifteen or sixteen. The contributions from the class, which amounted to between $30 and $40 a year, were devoted to aid in supporting a Chinese student at the theological school at Tung Cho, China.\nMembership in the Sunday school did not necessarily result in church membership. In fact only a small number of the Sunday school students actually joined the church. At some time before the turn of the Twentieth Century the Second Parish\u2019s Chinese Sunday school seems to have ended.\nContinuing west on Congress Street we come to One Monument Square.\nThis modern building was the site of the United States Hotel which housed a Chinese laundry in the Congress Street end of its basement. This laundry existed from 1879 to 1903 under several owners.\nMany Chinese laundrymen congregated here after closing their shops on Saturday evening and socialized among themselves into Sunday, their only day of rest. Their activities often included gambling. In the early 1890s, the Portland Police Department conducted several raids in which they arrested Chinese laundrymen and confiscated money and gambling apparatus.\nThe laundrymen followed other pursuits here. As early as 1891, Chinese laundrymen had formed a musical combo including fiddles, a form of pandeau pipes, and a banjo. The group\u2019s evening rehearsals drew crowds to the sidewalk near the laundry. An article in the Bangor Daily Whig and Courier described the selections practiced as \u201cof the native growth of China, wild, weird and peculiar.\u201d\nWalk south along the front of One Monument Square, cross Federal Street, and turn left between a row of 19th Century buildings and One City Center until you reach Free Street. Then turn right and head west on Free Street.\nOn the south side, 14 Free Street was the site of the Canton Low Restaurant between 1912 and 1920.\nShortly before Christmas 1916 the restaurant was the scene of a midnight fracas involving a couple of soldiers from Fort McKinley. As may be expected, the tales told by the participants differed in important respects.\nAccording to the newspaper reports, the soldiers said that they had ordered and paid for their food but, before they began eating, they were ordered to leave. The restaurant employees said that the soldiers had entered the restaurant apparently looking for trouble and started an argument with a waiter.\nRegardless of the cause, the result was a free for all in which dishes and flatware were hurled causing a deep gash in the hand of a waiter, Chin Hem. The restaurant employees set upon the soldiers with a baseball bat and hot pokers. In their haste to depart, the soldiers broke two windows and leaped through a glass door receiving cuts that required medical treatment following their arrest. They were convicted in the Portland Municipal Court of assault on Ling Fun, the restaurant manager. They were sentenced to 30 days in jail, fined $8.00, and assessed one-half the costs each for the damage done to the restaurant and its dishes.\nQuong Lee had a laundry at 17 Free Street in 1886.\nThe north side of Free Street, now the blank wall of a parking garage, was once home to several Chinese businesses. The second floor of 23 Free Street was the site of Portland\u2019s second Chinese restaurant, owned by Charlie Sing in 1903.\nLike Mr. Lam\u2019s Custom House Wharf restaurant, nothing is known of the cuisine served there although it, too, probably served typically Yankee food along with heavily Americanized Chinese dishes. Mr. Sing and his employee lived in a room on the third floor.\nMr. Sing\u2019s restaurant, which was popular with soldiers and sailors stationed at the various forts around Portland harbor, generated significant controversy since the presence of that many service men attracted Portland\u2019s lewd women and a reputation for rowdy behavior.\nOn August 31, 1903 Mr. Sing asked a soldier, who had been a frequent customer, and another soldier with him, to leave because they were making too much noise and causing a disturbance. The soldiers returned, one holding a revolver and the other carrying a brick which he threw through the door glass, fragments of which struck Mr. Sing in the face. He received about a dozen stitches from Dr. Leighton, the police surgeon.\nA crowd of probably 200 gathered around outside, more than two-thirds of whom were soldiers and sailors and their lady friends, who \u201cseemed to feel deeply hurt that they were not to be permitted to patronize this place last evening as usual.\u201d Thereafter, the Portland municipal authorities took a dim view of Mr. Sing\u2019s restaurant and eventually ordered it closed.\nThe Chee King Tong, located at 25a Free Street, was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in Portland, July 13, 1922, by Wong York, President; Chin Heung, Vice President and Treasurer; and Chin Hong, Secretary. The Directors were Wong York, Chin F. X. Yen, Chin Pung, Yan Toy Yee, Chin Heung, Chin Dong Tong and Goon Dong Fong. The Chee King Tong lasted until at least 1927.\nThere was a Chinese laundry at 27 Free Street from 1900 through 1927 and another at 29 Free Street from 1883 through 1908.\nWe proceed west on Free Street and take a right onto Center Street.\nIn the early 1900s, Center Street was a street of tenements which housed many ethnic groups, including single Chinese men and some Chinese families. 118 Center Street, in particular, on the western side about mid-way up the block, had a colorful reputation.\nFrom the 1910s into the 1930s, the first floor housed a succession of Chinese owned tea and grocery stores. There was an opulent gambling den in the cellar.\nOn January 14, 1917 Portland Police Chief Daniel L. Bowen and Captain Stephen Cady acting on complaints and, using the ruse that they were farmers in town to see the sights, succeeded in gaining access to a luxurious club room where they arrested four men for gambling. Two of those arrested were from Lewiston, one from Portland and one from Boston.\nIn another raid, as the policemen approached the front Chinese curio shop, two Chinese men brushed by them and darted into the building\u2019s hallway. When the police followed them, the Chinese men attempted to run through the rear door into the back yard. Captain Cady grabbed them. Chief Bowen opened the door which led to the basement and made his way into the club room there.\nThe room, which was handsomely decorated with silk and other Oriental fittings, was full of Chinese men, only two of whom were seated at a table covered with dominos and a mixture of Chinese and American money. The Chief arrested the two gamblers and ordered the rest of the men to leave the premises. The Chief called for a patrol wagon to transport the prisoners. When it arrived a crowd of about 300 had gathered on Center Street. The police confiscated the gambling paraphernalia.\nMany Chinese men and a few Chinese families lived in the upper floors of the building over the early years of the 20th Century.\n128 Center Street was the location of the Wah Lee Laundry from 1879 to 1885.\nWe proceed north and turn right onto Monument Square.\nThe building at 28 Monument Square, which is the location of the Public Market House, was the location of one of Portland\u2019s earliest and longest lasting Chinese restaurants, the Oriental Restaurant.\nIt opened in 1917 and was owned by the same syndicate of out of state Chinese investors who had opened the nearby Empire Restaurant less than a year earlier.\nThe upper floor(s) of the building housed a boarding house for Chinese men who worked at the Oriental Restaurant and other businesses. The Oriental\u2019s color scheme included dark mahogany trim, white curtains at the windows and green silk curtains hanging at the entrances of the twenty-one separate, private dining areas, each of which had a table for six covered by snowy linens. Each of these private dining areas had a push buzzer to summon the wait staff and an electric fan similar to those at the Empire.\nA feature of the new restaurant was a hand carved teak table, inlaid with mother-of-pearl and ivory, accompanied by two massive, hand carved teak and similarly inlaid chairs which were valued at more than $500. The restaurant was also graced by several tapestry designs in hand carved teak frames also inlaid with mother-of-pearl and ivory and valued at more than $500 each.\nThe syndicate engaged an orchestra and soloist for the restaurant\u2019s grand opening. The restaurant\u2019s layout had the pantry and coffee urns located at the rear of the street floor. The windows that opened onto Monument Square showcased costly Chinese jars set on magnificent teak wood stands. The kitchen, refrigeration, store room and a watchman\u2019s room were located in the basement. Big crocks in the basement were used to sprout beans. Packages of Chinese teas were available for sale near the cashier. The Oriental Restaurant closed in 1938.\nEast a few buildings along Monument Square at Number 19 was the Pekin Company Restaurant which was managed by Chin Heung, who often served as the spokesman for Portland\u2019s early Chinese community. The opening of the Oriental Restaurant resulted in the closing of the more plebeian Pekin Company Restaurant in 1917.\nDoubling back and heading west across Center Street we reach the Maine College of Art building. In 1877, 14-year-old Sam Lee, an immigrant from China, opened Maine\u2019s first Chinese hand laundry in a now long gone building in 1877. His laundry bore the generic name \u201cChinese Laundry.\u201d\nCrossing to the north side of Congress Street we go two blocks west until we reach Oak Street. We turn right on the east side of Oak Street. At number 65, Chin Heung, who we met as the owner of the Pekin Company Restaurant at 19 Monument Square, had opened an earlier Chinese restaurant there in 1910. That foray into the restaurant business was short-lived. The restaurant\u2019s name changed to the Shanghai Restaurant in 1911 with Henry Nom as the owner. Charlie Hing took over the restaurant in 1914, followed by Lin Soo in 1915. Mr. Soo closed the restaurant and moved to Lewiston, Maine, in 1916.\nWe turn back to Congress Street and continue west on the north side of the street until we reach the Empire Dine & Dance at the corner of Forest Avenue.\nThis night spot takes its name from Portland\u2019s first deluxe Chinese restaurant, the Empire Restaurant, which was opened July 6, 1916 by a syndicate of out of state Chinese investors. The Empire was located on the second floor of the building at 573 \u00bd Congress Street.\nRead more about the Empire Dine and Dance\nThe restaurant was originally built with two dining areas. If one turned left at the head of the stairs one entered a dining room for men and women. To the right was a dining room reserved only for men in which smoking was allowed.\nThe dining room for men and women had a dozen private booths that sat six each. The booths were finished in mahogany and cream and each had an electric fan and a wall button to summon the waiters. There were cream colored draperies at the windows of each booth. The tables were adorned with fresh flowers. In addition to the booths, that section of the restaurant had between fifteen and twenty tables with four chairs each.\nThe men\u2019s dining room had another fifteen tables each with four chairs. The cigarette and cigar smoke was dissipated by what was described as a \u201cclever system of ventilation.\u201d A three-piece orchestra and a female soloist were situated in a niche between the two dining rooms. They played most days and every evening.\nThe restaurant sold Chinese candies and confections in addition to meals. Patrons reached the second floor restaurant via an elegant marble entrance and stairway. When it opened, the restaurant employed ten Chinese waiters and eight Chinese cooks and kitchen helpers.\nWe continue west on Congress Street to Congress Square and cross to the south side, opposite the State Theater.\n608 Congress Street has housed more Chinese restaurants than any other Portland address. Even before the first Chinese restaurant opened, the Goon Lee Laundry was located here from 1918 to 1926. When the Goon Lee Laundry closed a replacement opened next door at 610 Congress Street which lasted from 1926 to 1947.\nThe Mandarin Caf\u00e9, which was in business from 1939 to 1947, was the first Chinese restaurant at 608 Congress Street. It was followed by the Cathay Gardens Restaurant from 1955 to 1979.\nThe Hu Shang Restaurant, Portland\u2019s first Szechuan and Hunan style restaurant, opened in 1979. As the first Chinese restaurant to serve Szechuan style food, and with the benefit of interest in all things Chinese generated by President Nixon\u2019s historic trip to China, Hu Shang (which loosely translated to \u201cLake Folks\u201d) became tremendously popular, with lines of people waiting for the 70 seats most nights.\nCo-owner Ken Ng had an incredible memory for people\u2019s names and a great personality for welcoming returning customers. The restaurant was so successful that the Ng brothers bought a building at 7 Brown Street, closer to Monument Square, and moved to the larger, multilevel, and more elegant location in 1981. The Four Five Six Restaurant occupied this space from 1984 to 1988. The last Chinese restaurant to occupy the space, the Portland Hunan Restaurant, opened in 2005 and closed in 2007.\nReturning to the north side of Congress Street we reach 633A Congress Street, the site of the Pagoda Restaurant which was opened in 1938 by a nephew of the owner of the recently closed Oriental Restaurant in Monument Square.\nThe Pagoda was Portland\u2019s premier Chinese restaurant for much of the mid-Twentieth Century. It moved to 5 Forest Avenue in 1985. The Wong family later sold it and it closed for good in 1994. In 1990 a granddaughter of Daniel C. Wong, who had owned the Pagoda, tried to recreate the old Pagoda Restaurant on a much more modest scale at 144 Cumberland Avenue. Its menu featured a photograph of Daniel C. Wong with the slogan \u201cYou can\u2019t go wrong with Wong\u201d together with a reminder that the Wong family had been in business over four generations since 1938. By 1991 the name had changed to the Pagoda II. In 1993 the name changed to Little Chinatown. It closed in 1997.\nWe continue west on Congress Street until we reach Longfellow Square and State Street, we head one block south on the west side of State Street past the Mercy Hospital to its intersection with Spring Street. We turn right and head west on the north side of Spring Street for three blocks, passing the Reiche School and then crossing Clark Street, where we reach 243 Spring Street.\nThere were Chinese laundries in the building at 243 Spring Street for more than fifty years, longer than at any other Portland address. The first laundry opened there in 1891 and the last laundry closed there in 1942 .\nWe now cross to the south side of Spring Street, turn left, return to and cross State Street where, about 100 feet from State Street, we reach an alley at what used to be 156 Spring Street, the last stop on the tour.\nThe building that was once here at 243 Spring Street was the site of Portland\u2019s last Chinese laundry. In 1943 Chin Kow opened his laundry and continued to run it until September 1966 when a hip injury and old age forced him to close.\nHis customers called him the \u201cGeneral.\u201d He was born in Canton (Guangdong), China, about 1878. When he came to Portland the minister and a Sunday School teacher at the First Baptist Church helped him to learn English. He usually ate his evening meal at the Pagoda Restaurant. He died at the Barron Center (Portland\u2019s municipal nursing home) September 27, 1969.\nThis concludes the tour.\nThere are many other places where Chinese people lived and worked in Portland. This tour is meant to be representative and not exhaustive. The most important site not included in this tour is 615 Forest Avenue, in the Woodfords Corner neighborhood. This building was the location of the Goon Family Laundry and the home of Toy Len Goon, the 1952 American Mother of the Year.\nWe return to the point of beginning by continuing east on Spring Street (which becomes Middle Street at One Portland Square) past the Cumberland County Civic Center seven blocks to Exchange Street. We take a right on Exchange Street for a block to Fore Street where we cross to Moulton Street for a block to Commercial Street. Then we take a left and head east on Commercial Street 3 blocks to Custom House Wharf.",

        "raw_content": "Dog fatally shot during high-risk drug operation\nCity police fatally shot a dog during a high-risk drug operation in southwest Calgary early Wednesday in which an officer was injured and a number of drugs and cash were seized.\nClara Ho, Calgary Herald & Emma McIntosh, Calgary Herald\nAfter receiving a public tip, police launched a three-week investigation that led them to a home in the 2300 block of 19th Street S.W., in a residential area.\nOfficers executed a warrant at the home at 9 a.m. with what police say was a \u201cdynamic forced entry.\u201d As they entered, a \u201cpit bull-type\u201d dog lunged at a tactical team member and latched onto his left arm.\nThe officer tried to pull away, but the dog had locked its jaw on his arm, said Deputy Police Chief Ray Robitaille. Another officer shot and killed the animal.\n\u201cTime was of the essence and lethal force was the only option available at that time to immediately have that dog release,\u201d Robitaille said.\n\u201cIt was right in the initial stages, so we had the whole rest of the house that had to be cleared.\u201d\nThe officer was taken to hospital and required upwards of a dozen stitches to close the \u201cserious\u201d bite wound. It\u2019s not known whether he sustained any long-term damage to his arm.\nTwo people at the home were arrested. One of them was known to police, Robitaille said.\nThe dog attacked on its own, without orders from an owner, Robitaille said. Its exact breed, or mix of breeds, was still being investigated Wednesday afternoon.\nCocaine, marijuana and \u201ca substantial amount of cash\u201d were seized, but police have yet to determine exact amounts.\nAn hour after the first search, police executed a second and connected high-risk warrant in the 200 block of Coral Springs Circle N.E.\nRobitaille said officers took a woman into custody without incident, and two children were removed from the home.\nThe first house was the \u201cstorefront\u201d for drug sales, while the second was a \u201cstash house,\u201d Robitaille said. The situation was what police call a \u201cdial-a-dope\u201d operation, in which buyers call dealers to arrange sales.\nRobitaille said police believe those arrested are mid-level dealers.\nSeveral pit bull type dogs were also located at the second residence. Robitaille said it\u2019s very unusual for dogs to attack during forced-entry situations.\n\u201cWhenever we run into dogs at a search warrant, most will be quite passive, even breeds that would traditionally be viewed as aggressive,\u201d he said.\nThe children were taken to a \u201csafe location,\u201d Robitaille said. It\u2019s unknown if any of those in custody are their parents.\nMeanwhile, charges against the three adults arrested were pending as police continued to process evidence from the scenes.\n\u201cThis is a significant operation and it will take some time to compile all the details,\u201d Robitaille said.\nSurveillance was conducted on both houses for weeks before police sought warrants. The Calgary Police Service\u2019s tactical unit is used for the highest-risk incidents in the city, and attends more than 300 drug warrants and weapons calls per year.\ncho@postmedia.com\nemcintosh@postmedia.com\n\ue221 Get ready, Calgary: Canada Day celebrations to span the downtown Man killed, three others seriously injured in crash on QEII Highway...",

        "title": "Invoice Funding Can Help with Cash Flow Problems",
        "raw_content": "Setting up a business is no small feat. It requires dedication, commitment, and strong business skills \u2013 especially in managing one\u2019s finances to keep the organization profitable. After all, nobody would want to go into a particular business if he or she is simply going to break even. While your capital investment helps you start up your business, it is basically your operating expenditures that you have to look after. Cash flow problems often spell disaster even to well-meaning businesses but most especially to small and medium scale enterprises. Instead of drawing a loan from a bank or a financing institution which typically takes a very long processing period with a considerably lower chance of getting approved, it is better to get invoice funding or invoice factoring to help you with your cash flow problems.\nInvoice Funding: What It Is and How It Works\nCompared to securing a bank loan or some other form of financial assistance for small business cash flow issues, invoice funding is a preferred method of securing hard cold cash for a variety of needs without the lengthy and tedious process of loan application and its concomitant prohibitive interest rates.\nInvoice funding works by giving you access to cash for all of your invoices that have yet to be paid by your clients or customers. An invoice funding company, like Carter Funding, essentially advances the cash value of those unpaid invoices. The company deposits this cash into your organization\u2019s bank account. You can then use the deposited amount to pay the salaries of your employees, purchase necessary equipment that will further help advance your business\u2019 productivity, make important repairs or maintenance of your existing equipment, or any other purpose that is related to your business activities. You will then repay the cash advance that was deposited to your business\u2019 bank account, together with a small fee, over a predetermined time period.\nInvoice Funding for Cash Flow Problems\nGenerally, there is one type of invoice funding for cash flow problems. Invoice factoring. Factoring for cash flow typically involves advancing only a certain percentage of your unpaid invoices. This can greatly vary between providers. Carter Funding will give you up to 90% of the cash value of your unpaid invoices. For instance, if you have a total of $20,000 unpaid invoices, you could receive $18,000 in advance. You don\u2019t even have to worry about collecting the payments from your clients and customers as the invoice factoring company can do it for you.\nBenefits of Invoice Funding\nRegardless of the type of invoice funding that you choose to address your cash flow problems, know that these can provide you with exceptional benefits such as the following.\nFast cash \u2013 This is perhaps one of the most important benefit of getting invoice funding to solve your small business cash flow issues. In a typical bank-approved business loan, you will still need to way for a significant amount of time before your requested funds are released. For small businesses, time is ticking. Every day that you are waiting for your funds, you are also spending which can defeat the whole purpose of asking for financial assistance. Invoice funding companies give you fast cash.\nAt Carter Funding, if you agree to their funding proposition, you can receive your funds on the same day. This simply means you can use the cash to fund your other business activities the following day, if not on the same day. There really is no point in requesting for emergency business fund if you have to wait several weeks to get your cash.\nEasy application \u2013 Applying for invoice funding doesn\u2019t require you to go to the bank and submit all your documents for screening, evaluation, and processing. Many invoice funding companies provide you the ease of application using your computer or even mobile device. Carter Funding, for instance, guarantees 24-hour approval and you can easily get your funding not longer than 3 days. Best of all, it is absolutely free.\nBusinesses with limited credit history will also find the application process with invoice funding companies to be a lot simpler. Banks require credit-worthiness which can only be established over time. If you are a new business entity, proving to banks about your credit-worthiness might be a challenge. On the other hand, companies that provide factoring for cash flow will typically look at your customers\u2019 or clients\u2019 financial soundness.\nAffordable and flexible \u2013 With factoring rates as low as 1%, getting an invoice funding is definitely more affordable than securing a bank loan or any other type of loan from a financing institution. You can also get up to 90% of your invoice cash value. More importantly, since you will be repaying the advance within a predetermined period of time, typically over 12 weeks or even 24 weeks. What\u2019s more, if you already have the funds, you can easily pay what you owe in advance.\nWorry-free collection \u2013 Invoice factoring companies handle collections so you don\u2019t need to worry about credit checking, billing, and even additional manpower or staffing specific for such functions. At any rate, you can channel your resources to other more meaningful activities like improving the overall workflow of your business.\nInvoice funding can help with cash flow problems by giving you access to cold hard cash in as short as 24 hours. The application process is easy and you don\u2019t even have to worry about sky-high interest rates. You can then focus on really growing your business.",

        "raw_content": "Florida law provides for a number of property tax exemptions which will reduce the taxable value of a property. One of the responsibilities of the Clay County Property Appraiser\u2019s Office (CCPAO) is to ensure that all eligible property owners receive the full benefit of those exemptions to which they are eligible. In Clay County, most property tax exemptions are automatically renewed. Meaning, once an initial exemption application is granted by the CCPAO, a subsequent application to maintain the exemption is not required. Annually (on or before February 1), the CCPAO mails Property Tax Exemption Renewal Cards to each property owner who qualified for specific exemptions in the prior year. The exemption(s) will remain in effect until the property owner is no longer eligible. If eligibility status has not changed, simply retain the renewal card as your receipt. This guide was developed to provide valuable information regarding your 2019 property tax exemption renewal (based on last year\u2019s qualified exemptions). The guide provides explanations of possible exemption codes, corresponding descriptions, and Florida Statute references.

And what it takes to be a successful marketer. In other words, if you do not have enough customers to pay the bills, you cannot keep up with technology. You actually have a very expensive hobby and you will not have a business for very long. Period.\nOne way to solve that is to do a tremendous amount of work promoting your business. Spending hundreds of hours learning what and what not to do. Investing even more time taking action and applying what you learn to your business. Which takes dozens or even hundreds of more hours to perfect. Trust me, it leads to some very long days, month after month.\nOr you can pay someone like me to do the heavy-lifting for you. But the Industrial Era methods of advertising do not work any more, so you have to get up with the current methodologies if you want to survive.

After all, what could be easier than leaving?

Why can such feeble arguments not be safely ignored? Disruption of trade? If you have something other people want, they will come.

The same applies even within Britain\u2019s own borders, after all, and, when I lived there, treated certain kinds of cheese as a rare luxury. Difficulty of travel? Who needs those other people anyway? What need is there for any of our type to visit them in their own lairs \u2013 which immigration has, unfortunately, rendered no longer the pleasant enough places they once were.

Anyone with a serious enough reason to visit the continent should consider the minor inconvenience of having them examined by a Frog as part of the travel price.\nThose who stand to make money from such things may fear that the Channel tunnel may fall into disuse, but how about this alternative scheme: use it as an exhaust duct, blowing Britain\u2019s homegrown noxious gases, not least political speeches, eastward.\nAuthor cogitationatorPosted on November 13, 2018 November 13, 2018 Categories General\n17 thoughts on \u201cDeparture\u201d\nGood, simple logic.\nI have the same opinion. Why all the fuss?\nJust shake hands, offer friendship, and leave graciously.\nToday, business is calling most of the shots, but what most people forget, is that one of the main jobs of business is to adapt to new situation and reduce risk. It\u2019s what they do.\nHi, gaz! You are right. Big Biz will weather any storm and come through profitably. There will be no mass (bre)exit of factories and offices. With luck the only crush will be the sinking rats leaving Westminster.\nIt isn\u2019t only immigration that has ruined many places in Europe. It\u2019s an emotive topic, but it\u2019s not the only thing that makes holidaying in much of Europe not be worth the effort any more. It is mass tourism and vulgar commercialisation. Waikiki, Times Square, Fisherman\u2019s Wharf, etc. are much the same. They\u2019ve lost any sense of what they once were and are now tourist dumps that most locals and long-term visitors would prefer to avoid. It doesn\u2019t matter where you are, you see the same scams and the same gypoes playing the same covers whether you want to hear it or not. Better to stay in the boondocks and leave well enough alone.\nSome long time ago a canny Scot said to me that mostly life was pretty simple \u2013 it was just that people liked to make it complicated\u2026 How right she was!\nThe question that was asked in the 1975 referendum was very simple: should Britain stay in the Common Market which it had joined in 1973\u2026 It was a straight forward Yes /No referendum. We were all promised on the lives of every politicians\u2019 mother / grandmother / Uncle Tom Cobley an\u2019 all who urged us to vote \u201cYes\u201d that it was an economic union and would have no political implications whatsoever\u2026 and like lemmings rushing over the cliff, we all believed our pollies and voted \u201cYes\u201d\u2026\n\u2026 and bit, by bit the right of Britain to set its own laws, deal with its own problems, to prefer its own industries and even to fish in its own waters were delivered into the hands of people who didn\u2019t give a damn about Britain \u2013 other than the fact that Britain was the second largest contributor to the Great \u201cUnited European Dream\u201d (begun by the Romans, the Holy Roman Empire, Napoleon, and Germany) alive and viable\u2026\nThe fact that Britain opted out of the Holy Roman Empire, fought Napoleon, and various other German would-be-over-lords was totally overlooked\u2026\nThe referendum of 2016 was also very simple \u2013 Stay in / Get Out. And Britain voted \u201cOUT\u201d. The biggest problem is that no one expected that answer \u2013 and not one person had made any plans about how to deal with that answer.\nI don\u2019t think there is a simple answer as to why Britain voted \u201cOut\u201d. But Britain voted \u201cOut\u201d and \u201cOut\u201d it should be. No \u201cifs\u201d; \u201cbuts\u201d \u2013 out!\nBut, that\u2019s not the point \u2013 the point is why is Britain making such a dog\u2019s dinner about getting out\u2026\n\u201cSo Long \u2013 and Thanks for the Fish\u201d sounds pretty good \u2013 except of course the EU has nicked most of Britain\u2019s fish\u2026\nQuite apart from Multi-National Companies who are using the EU to make huge (and obscene) profits, and individuals who are making huge (and obscene) profits from Britain\u2019s membership of the EU, I suspect that there are a multitude of \u2018private\u2019 treaties\u2019 etc that are not in the public eye that also have to be dealt with.\nGazoopi \u2013 I agree \u201cJust shake hands, offer friendship, and leave graciously.\u201d \u2013 but the EU does not want friendship \u2013 it wants Britain\u2019s money.\nI blame Nigel Farage., innit?\nAbsolutely it\u2019s down to Nigel.\nHe is the most successful politician in recent times.\nI can see no point in wasting anymore time in trying to negotiate a better deal with the EU.\nI believe that the attitude of the EU has very little to do with the UK deciding to leave. This more about sending a warning to potentially wavering voters in Italy, Hungary and to the supporters of people like Marine La Penn to make it clear that any future attempt by any of them to leave the EU will be made as expensive, time consuming and punitive as they can possibly make it.\nThe EU negotiates only on behalf of the EU, as opposed negotiating for the people of Europe. Who would gain from giving the UK free trade deal? Everybody employed in manufacturing, agriculture or even just living in Europe and the UK. Who would lose? The EU. Their aim of a federal European superstate would be seen to be for what it is, a totally unnecessary level of government at ever increasing expense.\nThey will not renegotiate any deal with the UK because they fear it will send the wrong message across Europe and others will try to go down the same route and attempt to leave. So it\u2019s pointless to even attempt to get a better deal, it\u2019s time to just walk away. It doesn\u2019t matter how long we talk, it won\u2019t get any better. If Teresa May, (who they knew really wanted to stay in) couldn\u2019t get a good enough deal to be able to come back and sell to the the British electorate, the likes of a real Brexiteers, such as JRM or Boris will have no chance of being offered anything remotely realistic.\nThey don\u2019t want a deal, they want us as an example how teacher treats naughty children.\nThe only light at the end of this seemingly endless tunnel is that the Europrats fear one thing more than a \u2018fair deal\u2019 \u2013 and that is no deal at all. The individual trading nations unlucky enough to be members of the EU will suffer mutiny from the traders themselves and the EU\u2019s rules will go out of the window. If the UK Cabinet strong-arms the PM not to proceed with the draft deal, that is where we will end up.\njhleck \u2013 I think you have it in a nutshell. Just occasionally someone from the EU has let it slip that the whole idea is to \u2018punish\u2019 Britain \u2026\nWhat amazes me is why the British Government ever thought they could get a a \u2018reasonable\u2019 deal from the EU.\nI don\u2019t know about you guys, but I feel as though I am slowly losing the plot.\nAfter watching the whole thing in Parliament on Thursday and wading through the deal, I had almost convinced myself that all three options were awful, but the deal being slightly less awful that remain or no deal, despite the incredible \u201cno way out\u201d clause.\nToday, after diving into the real detail of a potential no deal, I am changing my mind again. There is not really such a thing as no deal. The politicians will scramble around making ad hoc deals all over the place if we simply wave goodbye.\nI do keep asking myself why TM is pushing for a deal that we can never sign up to. It is simply to demonstrate to the EU that they need to compromise? Is it to force another referendum, with the hope of remaining?\nTalking of departure, Boadicea (and Bearsy).\nThanks for all the fun over the years. Good luck in the future.\nThanks a muckle Mr Mackie, Sir, and similar reciprocal wishes, but I wasn\u2019t aware that we were departing just yet. \ud83d\ude0a\nOr do you refer to your own presence? If that\u2019s the case Quo vadis? or Whither goest thou? or even Ble wyt ti\u2019n mynd? We\u2019d rather you stayed. \ud83d\ude0e\nBearsy\u2019s comment seconded.\nJM, why not just drop in occasionally \u2013 as you have done for some time? No call for a flounce!\nGet ye back here, castle-dweller and none of your snash.\nJohn: Why would you want to leave?\nhttps://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/fb2240bd-80f5-430b-bd8b-a58cbdeed5f5",

Built in the 1st century BC, it enjoyed long time prosperity as an important stop and trading center along the road. Over the years it witnessed all the glory and misery of this road. Genghis Khan\u2019s army once passed by these walls to conquer the rest of the world. Generals marched and beheaded under its gates. Buddhism monks, Sufis and Christians all tried to establish their influence here. Merchants brought goods none have ever seen, and kings and whores laid down, waked up beneath the same sky.\nThe city was bound to the destiny of the Silk Road, and eventually they became one. In 640 AD Gaochang was captured and annexed by the Tang Dynasty of China, but it struggled to hang on and was not until 14th century AD when it was finally burnt down in wars and abandoned. The last of the survivors fled, few words is written down on the history of the city, and the ruined wall remained as the sole narrator to all the stories of glory and misery.\nTags: ancient, archaeology, buddhism, Central Asia, China, history, islam, landscape, natural, photography, silk road, Travel, XinjiangCategories: Travel, Xinjiang\n2 thoughts on \u201cAncient City of Gaochang\u201d\ntigerclaws says:\nIncredible photo!!\nI saw your work on your Flickr and I really love your use of color in your photography!",

Students should develop the ability to think clearly and express their ideas orally and in writing. Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Because all living and non-living things are composed of matter, chemistry affects all aspects of life and natural events. Chemistry concepts and scientific process skills are developed through the study of atomic theory and atomic structure, periodic laws, chemical bonding, states of matter, acid-base reactions, oxidation-reduction reactions, stoichiometry, equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics. This course will also contain a significant laboratory component. Through the laboratory component students will develop skills in making observations, recording data, calculating and interpreting results based on quantitative data. Students will also develop skills and strategies necessary for effectively communicating the results of experimental work.\nThe goal of this chemistry course is to develop students that understand the fundamentals of chemistry and develops a reasonable competence in dealing with chemical problems.

        "title": "Activist in Residence",
        "raw_content": "Activist in Residence\nBy: Rachelle Peterson\nutgers University recently installed Naomi Klein as its first Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair in Media, Culture, and Feminist Studies. Klein, who dropped out of the University of Toronto to pursue journalism, is an unconventional choice for an endowed chair. But she is a good match with Rutgers\u2019s hope that, over the course of the three-year appointment, the Steinem Chair will \u201corganize public events, conduct research and immerse students in debate and scholarship\u201d on topics such as \u201cthe role of activist journalists in revolutionary movements.\u201d\n\u201cActivist journalist\u201d is a fitting characterization of Klein. Her lengthy books, packed with statistics, nevertheless read like novels, following characters through their quests to endure sweatshops, flee natural disasters, protest atop oil rigs, or march against fossil fuel investments.\nKlein is best known as the author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism Vs. the Climate (2015), a 576-page tome that opened a rift among global warming activists. As her book title suggests, Klein sees impending climate catastrophe mainly as an opportunity to rid the world of an even greater danger: free markets.\nMany climate activists, believing the climate itself is the present danger, were chagrined that one of their own would divulge an ulterior motive to the public. Klein\u2019s book played into the hands of climate skeptics who have long believed climate hysteria was a stalking horse for international socialism and other post-national utopias.\nHer first book, No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies, introduces readers to London Fog manufacturers in Jakarta, striking after being asked to work overtime on illegally low wages. Klein traces the progressive slogans of big-name brands in the West and notes their dissonance with the lifestyles and work conditions of the overseas workers who produced the products.\nNo Logo went to press just as the \u201cBattle of Seattle\u201d took place, in which 40,000 protesters descended upon the Emerald City to object to the World Trade Organization\u2019s ministerial conference there. Klein quickly released Fences and Windows: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate (2002), a collection of essays about the protests.\nNo Logo, by virtue of putting in place a philosophical and narrative framework that perfectly matched yet stood apart from the WTO protests, became required reading among the anti-globalist left, and rocketed Klein to fame. Ms. Magazine listed her among its women of the year in 2001. The Times (London) called her \"probably the most influential person under the age of 35 in the world.\" The New York Times called the book a \u201cmovement bible\u201d in the campaign against globalization. The Socialist Review praised Klein for expressing \u201cbrilliantly the rage that so many people feel about what is going on in the world, giving us ammunition against the bosses and governments.\u201d\nKlein\u2019s third book, The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (2008), takes aim not at capitalism itself but at those who set it up. There is no invisible hand of the market, Klein charges, only the iron fists of big businessmen and politicians scurrying to set up \u201cfree\u201d markets every time a catastrophe clears space for them to build.\nIn the opening pages we meet Jamar Perry, a Baton Rouge evacuee standing in a Red Cross food line after Hurricane Katrina, angry that developers saw a \u201cclean sheet\u201d and \u201cvery big opportunities\u201d to reimagine the city\u2019s layout. Klein quotes a Wall Street Journal op-ed from Milton Friedman, three months after Katrina, declaring that the destruction of New Orleans\u2019s public schools presents \u201can opportunity to radically reform the education system.\u201d Klein bewails the introduction of vouchers and the steep increase in the number of charter schools.\nKlein argues that free market fundamentalists have seized upon or even devised other \u201cshocks\u201d as excuses to break unions, privatize national companies, and impose laissez faire policies. A central villain is President Bush, whose war on terror, Klein argues, was practically invented for the purpose of plumping war profiteers. Like torture techniques\u2014and Klein quotes from CIA manuals on the way \u201ca kind of psychological shock\u201d can \u201cexplode\u201d the subject\u2019s perception of the world and his place in it\u2014the September 2001 attacks \u201cfor millions of people exploded \u2018the world that is familiar.\u2019\u201d This situation, she claims, \u201cthe Bush administration expertly exploited.\u201d\nRachel Maddow declared The Shock Doctrine \u201cThe only book of the last few years in American publishing that I would describe as a mandatory must-read.\u201d\nThis, despite other reviewers\u2014some sympathetic leftists\u2014who realized that Klein\u2019s total commitment to her theory sat ill with the evidence that some decisions, individual or national, really are driven by causes other than economics and materialism. Jonathan Chait chastised Klein in The New Republic for trying to cast the Tiananmen Square massacre as the consequence of capitalism in China. \u201cIt wasn't Communism [Deng] was protecting with his crackdown,\u201d Klein had written, \u201cbut capitalism.\u201d Chait, who agreed that Klein\u2019s catalogue of social ills were indeed \u201cenormous outrages and significant problems,\u201d nevertheless concluded that \u201cKlein's relentless lumping together of all her ideological adversaries in the service of a monocausal theory of the world ultimately renders her analysis perfect nonsense.\u201d\nPhilosophical coherence aside, many people find Klein\u2019s argument makes perfect emotional sense. Once we\u2019ve declared that social movements ought to be \u201callies,\u201d why not assume that they really are fighting the same war, not just the same enemy? Feminism isn\u2019t just a fight for women\u2019s dignity against the patriarchy, Klein and her followers assert; it\u2019s also deeply connected to the fight against free markets. The environmental movement isn\u2019t just about carbon dioxide or pollution, but also part of the Black Lives Matter movement, via the concept of \u201cenvironmental racism,\u201d which supposes that the ruling white classes intentionally perpetuate environmental degradation among minorities.\nKlein has no shortage of acolytes. Her Leap Manifesto, a progressive social and economic policy agenda for Canada calling for a world in which \u201cCaring for one another and caring for the planet could be the economy\u2019s fastest growing sectors,\u201d has nearly 51,000 signatures. She has 480,000 Twitter followers. With her filmmaker husband, Avi Lewis, she has turned several of her books into successful documentaries. Her 2017 book, No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need, debuted at #2 on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list.\nPerhaps, then, Rutgers saw selecting Klein for the Gloria Steinem Chair, for which it raised $3 million, as a financially savvy move, one sure to boost the university\u2019s social justice credibility. Its announcement bills Klein as a \u201cpublic intellectual\u201d and \u201ca global thought leader\u201d who has led \u201cexplorations\u201d of \u201csocial, economic and ecological injustice.\u201d Jonathan Potter, dean of the Rutgers School of Communication and Information, says Klein \u201crepresents intellectual brilliance and innovative thinking about the way inequalities are being perpetuated in our society.\u201d Klein, for her part, says she is \u201ceager\u201d to help students in \u201cconnecting the dots between some of the most critical issues of our time.\u201d\nRutgers has made plenty of previous forays into the world of far-left advocacy. In 2017, it began requiring incoming students to take a one-hour course on microaggressions, designed by the its Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities. This May it launched a \u201cDREAM Zone\u201d program, which the director hopes to make mandatory for all students, in order to train students to empathize with and support illegal immigrants.\nThese are official university actions, but Rutgers is also a central hub for radical students and faculty members. In 2016, students mobbed a Board of Governors meeting, upset that President Robert Barchi had only declared Rutgers a \u201csafe haven\u201d for illegal alien students, and not called the university a \u201csanctuary campus.\u201d In 2015, Rutgers instructor Zachary Campbell was one of three professors charged with assaulting police officers during an anti-police demonstration at the Brooklyn Bridge.\nKlein\u2019s addition to Rutgers\u2019s faculty roster appears to be a further step in aligning the public, taxpayer-supported institution with hard-left partisanship. Klein firmly rejects the ideal of scholarship that presents evidence and arguments on all sides of an issue. She is foremost an advocate for the overthrow of Western capitalism, and she sees the world through the narrow lens of a battle between corporate exploitations and noble revolutionaries fighting for the oppressed.\nStudents should indeed learn something about the utopian doctrines that devastated much of the world in the 20th century and that still attract adherents today. But giving a prestigious chair to an advocate of revolution seems a doubtful way to serve Rutgers\u2019s students. The message is surely that Klein\u2019s blend of scorched-earth anti-economics is to be treated with intellectual respect, and celebrated as a significant contribution to \u201cdebate.\u201d\nThose are mistakes. Klein is a popularizer of neo-Marxist doctrines whose writing shows her disdain for the basic principles of honest scholarship. Her appointment as the Gloria Steinem Chair in Media, Culture, and Feminist Studies is another benchmark in American higher education\u2019s decline.",

        "title": "Moderation in Pursuit of Trump",
        "raw_content": "In response to an essay of mine in the Spring CRB, my friend John Marini offers \u201cDonald Trump and the American Crisis,\u201d a philosophical and political justification for Trump\u2019s presidential candidacy. Kesler\u2019s \u201cmoderate criticism of Trump,\u201d Marini ventures, \u201cis surpassed only by his even more moderate defense of Trump.\u201d Apparently, moderation in pursuit of Trump is no virtue.\nAt any rate, in my alleged awareness of the difficulty in defending Trump, and of the still greater difficulty in praising him, John allows that I am not alone. Few contemporary political analysts are \u201cwilling or able to praise Trump in an unqualified manner,\u201d he notes with considerable understatement. And \u201cnearly all of the public intellectuals, both liberal and conservative,\u201d worship, or at least outwardly respect, the reigning pieties of political correctness that form the new \u201cvital center\u201d of American public life. Like Machiavelli\u2019s prince, Marini says, Trump \u201chas all those who benefit from the old orders as enemies, and he has lukewarm defenders in all those who might benefit from the new orders.\u201d\nBut is that really Trump\u2019s main problem? Consider how moderate is Marini\u2019s own praise of Trump\u2019s virt\u00f9. \u201cRegardless of his motives, therefore, Trump has gone to the heart of the matter\u2026. Trump has not attempted a theoretical justification for doing so. That remains to be made by the thinkers.\u201d \u201cTrump is not an academic or an intellectual. He seems to understand politics in an old-fashioned way.\u201d \u201cTrump appears to have understood that the political parties no longer establish a meaningful link between the people and the government.\u201d \u201cTrump has apparently refused to acknowledge the authority of this policy-making establishment\u2026.\u201d \u201cYet Trump\u2019s defense of the old America goes unrecognized by conservatives, either because they have succumbed to the postmodern narrative or because Trump is unable to make the intellectual case for the old America.\u201d The emphasis is added, needless to say.\nSo Marini edges closer to the distinction that became so familiar to readers of the sprightly but now defunct pro-Trump website, the Journal of American Greatness (JAG). \u201cIt is possible,\u201d writes John, \u201cthat the Trump phenomenon cannot be understood merely by trying to make sense of Trump himself. Rather it is the seriousness of the need for Trump that must be understood in order to make sense of his candidacy.\u201d JAG liked to distinguish between Trump and \u201cTrumpism.\u201d It found the man flawed and rather frustrating, so much so that it could characterize its support for him as \u201clukewarm.\u201d JAG found Trump\u2019s message exhilarating, however, though in truth the message came less from the messenger than from the magazine. (No one ever heard the Donald argue for the confluence of \u201cpaleo-conservatism\u201d and Straussianism.) Eventually JAG stopped calling its agenda Trumpism and christened it \u201cAmerican Greatness,\u201d a term derived from Trump\u2019s slogan and his hats.\nMarini holds that those attracted to Trump believe \u201cAmerica is in the midst of a great crisis in terms of its economy, its chaotic civil society, its political corruption, and the inability to defend any kind of tradition\u2014or way of life derived from that tradition\u2014because of the transformation of its culture by the intellectual elites.\u201d Marini believes, as do I, that this crisis is real. The problem is that if Trump cannot articulate or does not quite understand the crisis, what can \u201cthe need for Trump\u201d mean? In truth, it\u2019s a need \u201cfor a Trump,\u201d John admits, \u201cor someone like Trump\u2026.\u201d But \u201csomeone like Trump\u201d is not on the ballot.\nHence the abstract or theoretical character of most of the discussion in \u201cDonald Trump and the American Crisis.\u201d Rather than wrestle with Trump\u2019s virtues and vices, and with how they might affect America\u2019s condition for better or for worse, Marini provides a brilliant account of the origins and character of the present crisis\u2014having to do with the rise of the administrative state, and the emergence of modern \u201cintellectual authority\u201d based on empirical science, historicism, and postmodernism. It explains a great deal.\nFor someone who insists on the distinction between theoretical and practical wisdom, however, he gives up too easily on the possibilities of prudential judgment, sometimes sounding as though the academic victories of liberalism and postmodernism had wiped out common sense. Marini is right to say that liberals and even some right-wing intellectuals tend to judge Trump \u201cfrom the perspective of postmodern culture, labeling him a reactionary racist, a nationalist, and a xenophobe.\u201d But why suggest that other conservatives\u2019 efforts to judge Trump using the \u201cold language of character, virtues, and vices\u201d is futile or foolish because this language no longer has \u201ca public or political meaning,\u201d given the \u201ccontemporary discourse\u201d of value relativism? That smacks of presumptive surrender.\nTwo words absent from Marini\u2019s essay are \u201cHillary Clinton.\u201d Yet the choice between Clinton and Trump is a spectacle of character, virtues, and vices, and it seems only natural for Americans to resort to some of that \u201cold language\u201d to make sense of it all. Don\u2019t her stratospheric ratings as \u201cuntrustworthy\u201d and \u201cdishonest\u201d imply not only moral disapproval but disapproval richly earned? Similarly, Trump\u2019s personal attacks and other excesses, though overemphasized by leading NeverTrumpers, cannot simply be dismissed, as the essay does at one point, as \u201chis way of connecting with a people who had become mere spectators, not citizens.\u201d Not all his words and actions can be given such a high-minded defense. Realizing this, people will and should weigh them against Hillary\u2019s notoriously lax ethics and leftist politics.\nThe choice is necessarily comparative, prudential. One of the most effective arguments for Trump, after all, is that he is better at least than Clinton. Marini ignores this argument\u2014though his own reservations about Trump\u2019s abilities open the door to it. Marini prefers to emphasize \u201cthe American crisis,\u201d the crisis of human liberty and popular government, which only Trump and his supporters recognize. Hence \u201cthe need for Trump.\u201d\nAs I\u2019ve said, the crisis is real, and John\u2019s essay is an indispensable guide to it. Yet at the same time, he warns, \u201cthe seriousness of the need does not mean that the need can be satisfied, perhaps even by a Lincoln, let alone a Trump.\u201d The most extended comparison in the essay is not between Clinton and Trump, but between Lincoln and Trump.\nGood luck with that! Even Trump has not dared such a comparison (yet). In fairness to Trump, I should note that President Obama compares himself to Lincoln all the time, and not unfavorably.\nMarini recognizes that Trump is no Lincoln, but relieves the sting by observing that so deep is our crisis that Lincoln himself might fall short of being the \u201cLincoln\u201d we need. Suffice it to say that John and I\u2014and the Claremont Institute\u2014share a school of thought that regards statesmanship as necessary for political health, a fortiori for political greatness, and that traces statesmanship to a certain education in the virtues. Trump lacks the usual signs of such an education.\nThat would not matter if the crisis could be counted on to resolve itself, if the Moment always generated the Great Man who could transcend it. The philosophy that could be said to guarantee such a result is Hegelianism, a vulgarization of which is an important element of the American crisis, visible in Obama\u2019s confident assertion that if we only keep to the right side of history, his and Hillary\u2019s side, everything will get better and better.\nThere is a sense in which all education is self-education, of course. Rather than Donald Trump\u2019s acerbities, real and alleged, the thing to focus on is what he knows and is learning that would make him a better president. He has been a politician for a single year. He began almost as a complete amateur, whose acquaintance with the political arts, by his own admission, was confined to the low ones by which deals are too often made and elections carried.\nEven in the beginning, however, he grasped as no other candidate did that the American people felt profoundly alienated from their own government, feared that control over it was slipping from their grasp, and hoped to reassert their right, and duty, of self-government in order to make America great again. His policies, however improvisational, sought to serve that end. And let\u2019s face it, even if he had chosen his policies at random, they would be sounder than Hillary\u2019s.\nSince then, he has pressed his case against government by politically correct elites with notable courage. In the past few weeks, he has given a series of remarkable speeches on foreign policy, radical Islamic terrorism, immigration, law and order, and the economy. In depth, moral seriousness, and dignity of language, they go well beyond his prior treatments. \u201cPride in our institutions, our history, and our values should be taught by parents and teachers, and impressed upon all who join our society,\u201d he has said. Assimilation to \u201cthis spirit of Americanism\u201d will be good for immigrants and citizens alike, helping to heal the divisions in America by promoting \u201cthe exceptional virtues of our own way of life.\u201d\nI\u2019m sure that John Marini joins me in hoping that these statesmanlike sentiments bode well for Trump\u2019s candidacy, and for our country.",

He called it West Union because it was west of an earlier union he had begun.\nThe town is located in Oconee County at the end of the Norfolk Southern, previously Southern Railway branch from Anderson, built in the early 1860s as the Blue Ridge Railroad which was intended to stretch to Knoxville, Tennessee. A lack of funds and the onset of the War Between the States caused the construction to halt at Walhalla and the line was never finished. The route was again truncated at West Union in the late 1990s.\nOnce a prosperous lumber town, West Union built a depot in 1884 and opened the Mineral Springs Hotel in 1903 to accommodate visitors. Neither structure now stands, and most residents are employed at industries out of town.\nThe town has a mayor-council form of government.\nPopulation is 303.\n\"2008 Anderson Almanac\", Staed, John, associate editor, Anderson Independent Mail, Anderson, South Carolina, 29 June 2008, page 90.\nRetrieved from \"https://clemsonwiki.com/index.php?title=West_Union,_South_Carolina&oldid=26538\"",

Those who have done this have submitted to God and so are really Muslims. The name has been stolen from us by the followers of Muhammad.\nA group of people who call themselves Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses goes door to door promoting false teaching about the Bible and distributing copies of Watchtower magazine. They stole their name from Christians; we are the true witnesses of Jehovah.\nIn the Bible Christians are referred to as saints. There are many indications we are nearing the time when Christ will return. The time we are living in could be described as the latter days, which would make us latter day saints. The Mormon church has stolen this name from us; its official name is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.\nMany scientists are Christians. The could be called Christian scientists if it weren\u2019t for the existence of a religion that calls itself Christian Science. Christian Science is guilty of two counts of identity theft. It is neither Christian nor science.\nIf you have repented of your sins and placed your faith in Jesus Christ you are a Muslim, a Jehovah\u2019s witness, and a latter day saint. If you are a scientist you are a Christian scientist. All of these identities have been stolen from you. If you used any of these terms to describe yourself others would form a completely false idea of what you believe.\nPosted on September 20, 2013, in Miscellaneous and tagged Christian Science, Christian scientist, identity theft, Islam, Jehovah, Jehovah's Witness, Latter Day Saint, Mormon, Muhammad, Muslim, Watchtower, Watchtower magazine, witness.

        "raw_content": "In the column on the right, if you click on the title All COGIC Charters/Constitutions, under Articles on the COGIC Constitution heading, you can view all charters that have been filed with the Secretary of State of Tennessee. From the original in 1922 to the present. These can be obtained from the Secretary of State of Tennessee, they are a matter of public record. Here is the answer to the question, is the constitution based on the Bible.\nIF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME\u2026\nI was asked the question \u201cwhat would my recommendation be?\u201d concerning my last post. Perhaps we as COGIC members have become impressed with ourselves and have forgotten, it is GOD who takes men up, and GOD who takes them down. Remember King Saul, he was elevated to king, but the kingdom was torn from him for disobedience.\n\u201cIf 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. Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.\u201d (2 Chronicles 7:14\u201315, AV)\nWe\u2019ve gotten pretty good at fasting and praying but we are not good at being humble. The requirement is first to \u201chumble ourselves\u201d if I may add in the sight of GOD. Then pray and seek HIS face and turn from their wicked ways. It is only then GOD said \u201cI will hear from heaven, will forgive their sins and heal their land. Anything short of that is useless.\n\u201cBehold, the LORD\u2019S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.\u201d (Isaiah 59:1\u20132, AV)\nGOD himself said your iniquities has separated GOD and you. There are sins of omission as well as sins of commission. When you know to do good and you don\u2019t, when you rejoice in the sin of another or as it says in II Cor. 7:1 \u201c\u2026,let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh as well as the spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of GOD.\u201d\nThis cannot be done with physical might or willpower but only by the Spirit of GOD.\n\u201cThus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.\u201d (Jeremiah 6:16, AV)\nNo matter who you are, when we know what GOD has said about a certain thing, and we do the opposite, we have lifted that up above the word of the Most High GOD and esteemed our thoughts above those of GOD.\nSeek the one who blesses, not the blessing",

        "raw_content": "Rather frequent we may come across the cases when underage children live only with one of the parents. Another of the parents, on these or those reasons (family problems, divorce, another family and so on), lives separately. Alongside, a separate living, including dwelling with another family, doesn\u2019t release from the duty of keeping their children, until they reach adulthood, that is, before they reach eighteen years of age. Herewith, it is important to note that children have the right on keeping, regardless of the fact of making a marriage between their parents. That is, even if the child\u2019s parents did not stay in a registered marriage, the child has the same right on keeping from both parents, so as the child born in the registered marriage. The manner of keeping their children the parents, as a rule, determine by their mutual agreement, in particular, the agreement may be like this: that one of them pays for food products and clothes, and another \u2013 for toys, kindergarten services, studying at school, etc. However, there are the cases when one of the parents still evades from participation in keeping of the children. An effective way to make him/her participate in keeping of the child is appealing of the other side to the court with a corresponding claim about collection of funds on keeping the child (alimony payments). It should be noted that the Family Code of Ukraine, on the contrary to the previous regulatory act which regulated family relations \u2013 the Code about marriage and family of Ukraine, does not determine the share of revenue which is awarded for payment, and grants such a right to the court which considers the relevant suit. While determining the size of alimony payments the court obligatory takes into account the financial situation and the health status the alimony payments payer, specifies whether he/she has any other children or disabled family members who need keeping too. Also, the court accounts the current child\u2019s financial position and its health status, in particular, whether the child needs any additional costs for its treatment. The court may also take into account some other circumstances, including incomes of each parent, as well as the level of living conditions, etc. Alongside, at present there is such a judicial practice when the courts mainly determine alimony in parts, the size of which was predetermined in the Code about marriage and family of Ukraine: for one child, as a rule, the alimony is collected in the size of 1/4 parts from the income, for two children \u2013 1/3 of the received income, on three children and more \u2013 1/2 of the received income. However, in any case the size of alimony payments cannot be less than 30 per cent of the subsistence minimum for the child of the corresponding age. Worth to note that in case, when it is found that one of the parents to whom the claim is submitted has an unstable income, on the statement of one of the sides, the court may determine the size of alimony payments in a solid monetary amount. Alimony on keeping the child is awarded with a decision of the court from the day the claim is filed. That is, for example, if the statement of claim about collection of alimony payments is submitted to the court on 01.04.2014, and the decision about collection of alimony payments came into force on 01.09.2014, then, alimony will be accrued not from the day of making the decision or getting the legal force, but from the day the claim is filed, that is, from 01.04.2014. Besides, the legislation claims that in the cases about collection of alimony payments the court permits an immediate execution of the decision (irrespective of the time of coming into its legal force) within the payment for one month. The legislation determines that the court is obliged to consider the case about collection of alimony payments during one month from the day of opening of the proceedings in the case. Worth to note, that on a claim of the payer or receiver of the alimony payments, the court may increase or decrease the size of the alimony payments, if it founds that some change in the family or financial situation took place, as well as about improvement or deterioration of health of one of them. Please, pay attention that in case of a willful payer\u2019s evasion from making alimony payments, he/she may be subject to a criminal liability, including, in form of freedom restriction on the term of up to two years. It is worth noting that, on permission of the ward and care body, an agreement between the parents may be concluded about termination of the right on alimony in that case, when one of the parents, a payer of alimony passed some real estate (a land plot, house and etc.) into the child\u2019s property (or into the property of the child and the parent whom it lives with). Based on the above, we can conclude that the process of alimony collection is quite uneasy and there are a lot of nuances and peculiarities here, that\u2019s why, in order to avoid an extra bureaucracy, as well as loss of time and nerves, it\u2019s reasonable to ask for help of the specialists. Thereby, the specialists of Law Company Colares (\u042e\u041a \u00ab\u041a\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0440\u0435\u0441\u00bb) will always help you to resolve any family problems (except, perhaps, love), will always provide legal advices as for all family matters, including what concerns collection of alimony payments, divorce, division of the spouse property, determination of the child\u2019s place of residence, and, if necessary, will protect your interests in the court.",

Second in five part series on Nazi war crimes trials.\nFerencz discusses how the Nuremberg proceedings informed his life, his involvement in major restitution programs, and his understanding of \"Never Again\" through developing international law, an international criminal court, and defining aggression. He explains the legal precedents established at Nuremberg, including a) crime of aggression; b) crimes against humanity; c) trying heads of state; and d) guaranteeing rights to every prisoner (innocent until proven guilty in a court of law). Ferencz describes the mentality of his defendents at Nuremberg, elaborating on their intellect and benevolent family attitudes. In one case, he tells how General Ohlendorf, responsible for ordering the deaths of over 90,000 Jews, expressed a \"humanitarian\" approach in allowing mothers to hold their babies as they were being shot. He also describes the lack of remorse among defendents at Nuremberg. Ferencz explains in detail negotiations of a reparations agreement that awarded survivors compensation for deprivation of liberty as a result of incarceration in concentration camps (as a direct consequence of persecution). Ferencz urges the audience to recognize that Nuremberg marked the beginnings of an awakening of the human conscience to the injustices of nations. Ferencz stresses the need to codify international law and encourages common sense and individual involvement. A question and answer period follows.\nWiesenthal Holocaust Center Lecture",

        "raw_content": "Fashion\u2019s Night Out Still Happening Outside of NYC | Locations / Info\nBy Sierra Tajen | Sep 5, 2013\nDespite being cancelled in New York and other cities this year, Fashion\u2019s Night Out is still going strong across the globe starting tonight.\nCreated in 2009, the event was organized by American Vogue editor Anna Wintour to encourage spending on fashion during the recession and was planned to coincide with Fashion Week.\nRetailers and designers stayed open later and enticed fashion buyers with everything from cocktails and live music to special offers and discounts.\nThe event was cancelled earlier this year after last year\u2019s event in New York was troubled by some violence. In addition, designers found it incredibly hectic to organize Fashion\u2019s Night Out during the same time as Fashion Week.\nThat hasn\u2019t stopped the rest of the world from enjoying the fashion festivities though.\nNineteen countries, not counting the United States, are participating in the event both this month and next according to the Conde Nast site. A list of countries and dates can be found here.\nThe usual American fashion hotspots other than New York, such as Miami, L.A., and Chicago, do not appear to be hosting official Fashion\u2019s Night Out events for 2013.\nThe Gallery in L.A. does have an event scheduled for the evening though complete with a runway show, DJ, open bar, and VIP lounge.\nIn D.C, the Washington Post has listed that Willow Fashion and Fia\u2019s Fabulous Finds are hosting a fashion show and fall fashion preview as well as offering special giveaways and a sale.\nSmaller towns seem to be embracing the event on their own without the corporate backing previously provided by Vogue and other sponsors.\nSavannah, Georgia is blocking off Broughton Street to make it pedestrian friendly and to accommodate two runways for fashion shows, live DJs, entertainment, and food. Retailers will be offering giveaways and holding special events for the evening. Details can be found at savannahsfashionnight.com.\nThe historic district of Manayunk in Northwest Philly is celebrating its fashion scene with entertainment including live DJs, wine and food, as well as special sales and offers for shoppers. More information is available at manayunk.com\nBar Harbor, Maine is hosting its third annual Fashion Night Out. Downtown merchants will be hosting events in-store and participants are encouraged to dress up. Many of the merchants will be offering specials for those that don fancy clothes. In addition to a fashion show, Bar Harbor\u2019s evening features giveaways, jewelry, art, dancing, music, food and wine tastings, carriage rides, and home d\u00e9cor. Details are available at fashionnightoutbarharbor.com.\nIf your city or town is hosting any special events for Fashion\u2019s Night Out, share it with us in the comments below.\nIf not, did you attend any of the previous years\u2019 events?\nLeave your comments below, and be sure to Like, Tweet, Pin and G+ this page to pass this along to your friends and followers!",

        "raw_content": "The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2005/04/12/biologist-compares-ant-dinosaur-movements/)\nBiologist Compares Ant, Dinosaur Movements\nSaying, \u201cYou can learn about animal movement in an engineering sort of way,\u201d Prof. R. McNeil Alexander, biology, University of Leeds explained many of the ideas behind animal motion in a lecture sponsored by Cornell\u2019s Center for Applied Mathematics.\nAlexander\u2019s lecture covered a wide variety of topics related to animal mechanics, from whether or not dinosaurs were able to walk on walls and ceilings to how small animals do so today.\nAlexander began his talk by discussing the Brachiosaurus, a dinosaur that weighed 50 tons \u2014 equivalent to ten billion ants or ten elephants. \u201cHow can an animal like that have the strength to stand up?\u201d asked Alexander.\nHe explained that unlike modern reptiles, whose legs stand spread out, dinosaurs stood straight up similar to mammals. Dinosaurs were originally thought to have stood with their legs spread out, but according to Alexander, this would have made it impossible for large dinosaurs to carry their weight. By standing more upright, these dinosaurs reduced stresses on their bones.\n\u201cThe faster you run, the greater the force you exert on the ground,\u201d Alexander said, \u201cWhen you sprint, the force to the ground is about 3 1/2 times your body weight. These pressures are enormous when dealing with animals of large size and brings into question whether or not animals as massive as dinosaurs could run.\nExploring the question of whether or not dinosaurs were able to run, Alexander examined footprints left by dinosaurs, all of which show the animals walking, not running. However, he said, \u201cJust because there aren\u2019t any footprints showing dinosaurs running doesn\u2019t prove that they couldn\u2019t run.\u201d\nTo answer this question, Alexander measured the strength of a dinosaur\u2019s bone relative to its weight and compared the ratio to those of modern animals. Animals with similar ratios have similar running abilities. According to Alexander, large dinosaurs such as the Apatosaurus could not run, while smaller dinosaurs such as the triceratops had considerable running ability.\nThe discussion also dealt with animal mechanics in a more general sense. According to Alexander, the larger an animal, the more efficiently it consumes energy. The cost of generating energy per unit of weight is greater for an animal like a mouse than it is for an animal like a horse. A galloping mouse takes four strides per gallop, while a horse only takes one.\n\u201cThe tempo of life is always faster if you\u2019re small,\u201d Alexander said, pointing out that everything, from an animal\u2019s heartbeat to its life expectancy, tends to be longer as the size of an animal increases. While larger animals consume energy more efficiently, smaller animals have an edge when it comes to scaling large inclines.\n\u201cA 60 degree hill is nothing to an ant,\u201d Alexander said. Prof. John Guckenheimer, director of Cornell\u2019s Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program, which sponsored the event, considered Alexander\u2019s lecture a success.\n\u201cOne of the areas that we are interested in is animal locomotion and robotics. I thought Alexander did a superb job in this talk,\u201d said Guckenheimer.\nDan Riskin grad who is studying the locomotion of bats, agreed with Guckenheimer\u2019s assessment of the lecture.\n\u201cThe thing that is amazing is that [Alexander] knows more about the topic than anyone but he can explain it in an accessible way to a freshman. It shows how brilliant he is,\u201d said Riskin.\nArchived article by Daniel Palmadesso",

        "title": "King Hezekiah's Royal Seal Found in Jerusalem | CEH",
        "raw_content": "King Hezekiah\u2019s Royal Seal Found in Jerusalem\nThe royal seal of a Biblical king has been found, stating \u201cbelonging to Hezekiah, son of Ahaz, king of Judah\u201d near the Temple Mount.\nScience Daily calls it the \u201cFirst seal impression of an Israelite or Judean king ever exposed in situ in a scientific archaeological excavation.\u201d There are qualifiers there, because Hezekiah was known from other sources, such as the famous Sennacherib stele. Numerous clay jars from Hezekiah\u2019s time stamped \u201cbelonging to the king\u201d are known. Nevertheless, this is an important find, because it actually mentions two Biblical kings by name (Ahaz and Hezekiah) and was found in place from the original location by archaeologists. A short film by The Israel Project explains its significance, with an interview with archaeologist Eilat Mazar, who led the excavation. She stands at the site of this and other discoveries, describing how it was found. The finding was published this month in the final report of the Ophel Excavations of 2009-2013.\nHezekiah was one of the most important of the righteous kinds of Judah, though born of wicked king Ahaz and followed by his wicked son Manasseh, who repented at the end of his life. During Hezekiah\u2019s reign, God preserved Jerusalem from the advances of Sennacherib through a mighty miraculous intervention, the Bible says. Despite a few indiscretions (such as revealing his treasures to Babylonian envoys), this king was praised by prophets and chroniclers:\nHe trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel, so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him. For he held fast to the Lord. He did not depart from following him, but kept the commandments that the Lord commanded Moses. And the Lord was with him; wherever he went out, he prospered. (II Kings 18:5-7)\nHezekiah\u2019s Tunnel in Jerusalem, carved 1,750 feet in bedrock to bring water from the Gihon Spring into the city, was an engineering marvel for its time, and is still popular for tourists today. Considering the possibility that Hezekiah\u2019s own hand might have impressed his royal stamp onto this small bit of clay, this seal, or bulla, puts us into close contact with one of the greatest kings of the Bible.\nEvery archaeological find like this (and there are many) gives us additional confidence in the word of God, but it is our trust in God\u2019s word that sheds light on archaeology, not the other way around.\nBible students may wonder about the apparently pagan symbols of the ankh and scarab beetle on the seal. These do not warrant concern; our own American money has pagan symbols that do not imply worship, but only symbolism. Live Science thinks that Hezekiah may have added the ankh as a symbol of life after he prayed for healing (II Kings 20). There isn\u2019t much space on a 1/2\u2033 signet ring to put things. It\u2019s not like the king could have added \u201cIn God we trust\u201d to it. The Egyptian symbol for life is small and easily recognized. The scarab beetle probably served the same purpose as the eagle on the American presidential seal. One other possibility is that this seal was carved during a time of Hezekiah\u2019s backsliding after his recovery, when he was proud and may have wanted to impress foreign dignitaries.\nWe have a wealth of detail in the written Scriptures (II Kings, II Chronicles, Isaiah) to give us ample information about Hezekiah. He was ministered to by the great prophet Isaiah, whose writings are preserved on the great Isaiah scroll of the Dead Sea Scrolls\u2014one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century.\nHezekiah makes for a good character study in the Bible. He was a righteous man, but with some failings. He cleansed the Temple and restored true worship, finally destroying the pagan high places that previous righteous kings had failed to remove (II Chronicles 29). He re-instituted the Passover and other God-ordained feasts, bringing great joy and prosperity to Judah. He sent teachers around the land to instruct people in the law of the Lord. He invited God fearers from the northern kingdom to return to true worship in the Temple:\n\u201cAnd the priests consecrated themselves in great numbers. The whole assembly of Judah, and the priests and the Levites, and the whole assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners who came out of the land of Israel, and the sojourners who lived in Judah, rejoiced. So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. Then the priests and the Levites arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard, and their prayer came to his holy habitation in heaven.\u201d (II Chronicles 30).\nHezekiah responded appropriately to the propaganda and threats of the Assyrian army captain (those threats exemplify several propaganda tactics in our Baloney Detector). The king acted wisely in fortifying Jerusalem and protecting its water supply when he knew how viciously the Assyrians destroyed neighboring towns and fortresses, including Lachish and Azekah. He lived in a time of international turmoil and threats from terrorists, never losing his confidence in God, though natural fear was evident in his words. His prayer in the Temple is a model for supplication with its focus on God\u2019s glory (II Kings 19:14-19).\nIsaiah did have to rebuke the king for showing off his royal treasures to the Babylonian envoys, though, and Hezekiah\u2019s short-sighted response gives pause: \u201cWhy not, if there will be peace and security in my days?\u201d (II Kings 20:19). We might also learn from his prayer for healing that God\u2019s timing is best. Isaiah had told him by the word of the Lord that he would die from his disease (II Kings 20:1-11), but the Lord graciously heard Hezekiah\u2019s prayer, seeing his bitter tears, and healed him, giving him 15 more years to live. After that, though, his son Manasseh was born\u2014one of the most wicked of all Judah\u2019s kings, in large part personally responsible for the judgment of the Babylonian captivity that followed. Manasseh probably ordered Isaiah\u2019s execution among his many crimes.\nAfter Hezekiah\u2019s recovery, too, was when he showed off the Temple treasures to the Babylonian envoys; he failed in this test from the Lord. He and the people became proud (II Chronicles 32:24-26), bringing God\u2019s wrath on him and the land; fortunately, he humbled himself and gained relief for a time. Manasseh his son undoubtedly witnessed these failings. How much was Hezekiah to blame as a father for his son\u2019s apostasy? We can only speculate on how Judah\u2019s history might have differed had Hezekiah accepted God\u2019s will about the timing of his death. We should pray for God\u2019s will and His timing, not our own health and safety. Centuries later, James may have had this story in mind when he advised everyone to pray according to God\u2019s will (James 4:13-17):\nHezekiah also made some dubious alliances with foreign countries. Overall, though, his testimony shines in the often dark pages of the chronicles of the kings:\n\u201cThus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. 21 And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.\u201d (II Chronicles 31)\nThe discovery of this king\u2019s personal seal adds to the rich trove of tangible evidence outside of Scripture that supplements our confidence in the historical accuracy of the Bible. It brings us closer to an eyewitness of two of the most remarkable miracles of the Old Testament: (1) the slaughter of 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in answer to his supplication, when the people of Jerusalem faced certain death and torture surrounded by the overwhelming force of Sennacherib\u2019s army, and (2) the reversal of the shadow of Ahaz\u2019s sundial as the sign of his recovery (II Kings 20:8-11)\u2014a matter of astronomical curiosity to modern scientists. Was this the sign that motivated the Babylonian envoys to travel a long distance to investigate? II Chronicles 32:31 contains this indication it was a widespread, not local, sign: \u201cAnd so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, who had been sent to him to inquire about the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart.\u201d We should not question the ability of the Creator to alter the course of the astronomical bodies or laws of nature. After all, He spoke them into existence.\nThe royal seal reminds us, finally, that Hezekiah was an ancestor of Jesus, the Messiah (Matthew 1:9). Skeptics may scoff at the miracles, but they cannot deny the real existence of \u201cHezekiah, son of Ahaz, king of Judah\u201d having lived in Jerusalem. Nor can they deny the real Sennacherib who intended to destroy them all. Sennacherib could not brag of a conquest, but only that he \u201ckept him like a caged bird\u201d in the city for a short time (see Taylor Prism on Bible-History.com)\u2014a silent witness that something unusual prevented him from turning Jerusalem into a pile of burnt rubble like the other cities he had conquered. These are strong evidences, but so is the Bible. If you want the whole story, you need to go to the very best evidence\u2014the testimony of eyewitnesses inspired by the Holy Spirit, who never lies.\nTags: archaeology, bulla, featured, Hezekiah, II Chronicles, II Kings, James, Jerusalem, Judah, king, propaganda, royal seal, Sennacherib, signet\nCategories: Amazing Facts, Bible and Theology, Intelligent Design\nDonald Holliday says:\nMore and more findings both biblical and scientific are flooding the News more and more which leads me to believe things are coming to a conclusion. Very exciting times\nExcellent, David! You not only suggest Hezekiah as a Bible study, you offer the short course yourself! Thanks for a well thought and biblically consistent presentation.\nlux113 says:\nIt\u2019s by God\u2019s grace that he even has allowed this type of evidence to be discovered, after all \u2013 at it\u2019s heart belief is intended to be a matter of faith, yet God sees to it that there is sufficient evidence that the wise person SHOULD believe. I see it as a careful balancing act. Too much crystal clear evidence and faith becomes unnecessary, too little and man cannot legitimately be judged for his lack of faith/belief.\nIf anything, by my view, he has given us too much evidence \u2014 more than enough to prove scientifically the case for a creator and the historical accuracy of the Bible. He\u2019s a loving God, indeed. When I look at the fact that he listed out the generations, painstakingly documented them from Adam and Eve \u2013 and when I see examples like this in the news: If we can verify Hezekiah, then we can verify Isaiah, and if you can verify Isaiah\u2026(etc. etc).\nThere gets to be a point where so much of the Biblical story has been verified \u2013 that the purely scientific deduction is that the rest is true as well.\nAnd doesn\u2019t that make the book one of a kind just on that level? What book of man\u2019s has ever been without embellishment?",

        "raw_content": "Tag Archives: School Counseling\nFive strategies to develop mental health models in schools\nBy Dakota L. King-White March 12, 2018\nOver the past 13 years, I have dedicated my career to developing mental health services and models within the academic setting as a school counselor, mental health therapist and now as an assistant professor in counselor education, where I engage in community action research to develop mental health models in schools from pre-K through 12th grade. From my research and experiences, I have observed that students\u2019 ability to learn is significantly affected by their mental health.\nMany of our nation\u2019s students have been exposed to traumatic events and regular life stressors that act as barriers to their success. Exposure to violence and other traumatic experiences can have a lifelong effect on academic achievement. Within the school setting, this can be manifested in a number of ways, including trouble concentrating, low grades, a decline in test scores and students avoiding school or dropping out of school entirely.\nMaking an investment in prevention and intervention services can help to address students\u2019 overall development and thus enhance their ability to succeed socially, emotionally and academically. The school setting is an ideal place to provide mental health support to students. However, it is extremely important for schools to align mental health support with academic achievement goals. This calls for greater collaboration among mental health professionals, teachers, administrators, parents, students, staff and other stakeholders in school settings.\nBased on the work I have done in developing mental health models in schools, as well as guidance from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) National Model, I believe that the following five components are key to effectively supporting both the mental health needs and academic achievement of our students.\n1) Create mental health programming based on data-driven decisions.\n2) Collaborate to address the mental health needs of students.\n3) Provide a tiered system of mental health support.\n4) Evaluate mental health services to ensure they are addressing the academic achievement gaps.\n5) Communicate the outcomes to key stakeholders.\nDeveloping mental health models in schools is a preventive measure by which mental health professionals analyze data ahead of time and design programming based on need. This approach allows stakeholders to assess the needs and develop services that truly address the academic, social and emotional gaps. Schools have an obligation to create programming based on their students\u2019 needs.\nWhen developing mental health models in schools, it is imperative to analyze data from several sources. One key component involves looking at data that focus on academic achievement. Report cards, test scores and other instruments that measure academic achievement must be considered. The main priority when addressing mental health issues in schools is to identify barriers that are affecting students\u2019 academic achievement.\nOnce the needs have been identified, the next step is to create measurable goals to address the gaps. This step involves a collaborative approach that should include school counselors, mental health therapists, parents, teachers, administrators and students. Measurable goals provide a means for stakeholders to evaluate programming and help to ensure that it is supporting academic achievement.\nCollaborate to address student needs\nIn a 2010 article for the Journal of Interprofessional Care, Elizabeth Mellin and colleagues identified collaboration among colleagues as being imperative when developing mental health models in schools. School counselors, mental health therapists, school psychologists and school nurses are the professionals most often tasked with delivering mental health services to students in schools.\nSchool counselors are an excellent resource to support mental health models in schools. Quite often, however, school counselors are still labeled as \u201cguidance counselors\u201d in educational settings and are not always considered when schools are developing mental health services and models. Administrators and other stakeholders must be informed that the practice of school counseling has evolved, with \u201cguidance\u201d being only one component of the services that school counselors provide. According to the ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors, the school counselor\u2019s role is to address all students\u2019 \u201cacademic, career and social/emotional development needs.\u201d School counselors must actively engage and advocate to inform stakeholders of their titles and responsibilities, which are based on their skill set and training. Their skill set and training include addressing many of the social and emotional barriers that affect the ability of students to succeed academically.\nMental health therapists are another valuable resource. When licensed as a clinical counselor or social worker, these professionals are able to diagnose mental health disorders and provide treatment to students. Another invaluable component of their skill set that often goes untapped is an ability to provide consultation to staff, teachers, parents and administrators. It is also important that mental health therapists collaborate with teachers, administrators, other staff members and families to demonstrate the correlation between mental health and academic achievement.\nSchool psychologists are integral to the collaboration process when developing mental health models in schools. According to the National Association of School Psychologists, the school psychologist\u2019s role includes providing assessments, providing interventions to address mental health concerns and working with teachers, staff, administrators and other stakeholders to create programming to address gaps. As noted by Joni Williams Splett and Melissa Maras in their 2011 Psychology in the Schools journal article, school psychologists who are trained as research practitioners offer a unique skill set that contributes to bridging the gap of research and actual practice of services to support academic achievement.\nSchool nurses can also play a central role in developing mental health models in schools. Quite often, school nurses have mental and physical health records provided by school personnel, parents and outside health care providers. Because of the time these professionals spend with students addressing other health concerns, they are frequently able to screen for mental health concerns. This relationship provides school nurses opportunities to develop rapport with students. It is during these interactions that school nurses can detect changes in a student\u2019s physical or mental health. School nurses can also provide insight to their colleagues about the mental health concerns they have observed within the school setting.\nTeachers and administrators are additional important contributors to the development of mental health models in schools and must be equipped to identify mental health concerns in the school setting. In an effort to ensure that all school stakeholders are collaborating and properly equipped, regular meetings are essential. The more collaboration that takes place among the mental health team, teachers, parents, students and administrators, the more likely it is that students will succeed.\nProvide a tiered system of support\nKelly Vaillancourt and colleagues described the benefits of a tiered system of mental health support in their 2013 article for the National Association of School Psychologists and the National Association of School Nurses. A tiered system of support for delivering mental health services also provides different levels of care to support students to succeed academically. Keep in mind that schools must use evidence-based strategies. This ensures that the most effective, empirically supported practices available are being used to help students succeed.\nTier one is the universal level of support in which all students have access to mental health services in a school setting. Within tier one, trauma-informed classroom methods are introduced to teachers, administrators and staff. Tier one includes implementation of a social/emotional curriculum for all students that is preventive in nature and that supports academic achievement by addressing social and emotional barriers. It is also imperative to use a strengths-based approach that looks at the positive attributes of the students and builds upon those attributes to provide services for the students. To further support students, families should be made aware of the services and information being taught at school.\nTier two is where targeted interventions are identified for students who need additional mental health support to eliminate barriers that are affecting them academically. Selective interventions are provided to students who exhibit behaviors that are hindering them. Mental health and other services provided at the tier-two level consist of small groups, classroom behavior management strategies for teachers and staff, individual counseling and additional professional development for stakeholders related to social and emotional barriers to academic achievement. Collaboration among the team is extremely important.\nThe third tier is the most personalized, with intensive strategies provided based on the student\u2019s needs. Typically, this is done through a comprehensive process in which key stakeholders gather to collaborate and strategize about the needs of the student. The team should consist of the mental health team members, the student, the student\u2019s parents or guardians, teachers, administrators and outside agencies that work with the student and family. As highlighted by Kenneth Messina and colleagues\u2019 2015 article in The Family Journal, family buy-in is crucial at this level because of the importance of collaboration between home and school to support the student\u2019s academic achievement and to identify the student\u2019s strengths. Mental health and related services at this level include, but are not limited to, individual counseling provided by a mental health therapist, crisis intervention, outside counseling services, small group counseling, behavior plans and additional professional development for stakeholders.\nEvaluate and communicate\nIn an effort to improve academic achievement, mental health services provided in the schools must be based on data-driven decisions and evaluated to ensure that progress is being made to address the needs. Vaillancourt and colleagues noted that an effective mental health model includes consistent monitoring of student and program outcomes. This includes reviewing outcome data and analyzing the data to measure gaps, successes and areas of limitation. Evaluation of services is a continuous process.\nOnce programming or services are provided, it is critical to analyze the data and review the goals that were established for the student. It is imperative to have an outside reviewer provide feedback on the data and assess the outcomes of programming. The outside reviewer could be a mental health professional, teacher, curriculum director, administrator, local college professional or another professional within the district who has experience analyzing data.\nOnce the data are analyzed, it is vital to communicate the results to the stakeholders. Communicating the results to stakeholders has been found to build rapport and transparency among the team. Communication also allows for stakeholders to understand the impact and correlation between mental health and academic achievement.\nThere is a need to develop effective mental health models in schools because of the mental health challenges that affect students academically, socially and emotionally. Students will continue to be faced with these challenges, but it is important that schools address the barriers that affect students\u2019 academic achievement. Mental health professionals, teachers, parents, students, administrators and school staff play a vital and collaborative role in the development, implementation and evaluation of mental health services aimed at maximizing students\u2019 academic success. Through the five strategies discussed in this article, I believe that school districts will realize the success of mental health models being implemented within schools to support academic achievement.\nDakota L.

ASCA\u2019s latest report, released this week, included data on public K-12 schools in the 2014-2015 school year, which is the most recent information available.\n\u201cThe work that school counselors do to support students\u2019 academic, career, emotional and social development is absolutely critical,\u201d says ACA President Gerard Lawson, an associate professor of counselor education at Virginia Tech. \u201cIn today\u2019s schools, counselors are also relied on for their expertise in working with broader mental health needs. It is encouraging to see some improvements in the ratio of students to counselors, and we know that counselors can serve their students, schools and communities more effectively, when the ratio of students to counselors is lower and sustainable.\u201d\nThe report highlights a disparity that exists across America. The highest ratio, with 924 students for every one school counselor, was Arizona, and the lowest, with a 202-to-1 ratio, was Vermont.\nASCA\u2019s recommended student-to-school counselor ratio is 250-to-1.\n\u201cThese counselor-to-student ratios are headed in the right direction, but they have a long, long way to go. More school counselors need to be hired, especially in states with the most egregious ratios,\u201d says Nancy Carlson, a licensed clinical professional counselor and ACA\u2019s on-staff counseling specialist.\nOther highlights of the report:\nStates with the highest student-to-school counselor ratios were Arizona (924-to-1), California (760-to-1), Michigan (729-to-1), Minnesota (723-to-1), Utah (684-to-1), Illinois (664-to-1) and New York (635-to-1).\nStates with the lowest student-to-school counselor ratios were Vermont (202-to-1), Wyoming (219-to-1), Hawaii (293-to-1), North Dakota (307-to-1), Maine (315-to-1), Montana (319-to-1) and Tennessee (339-to-1).\nCalifornia showed the most improvement over the previous year; the state\u2019s ratio decreased 9 percent, from 822-to-1 (2013-2014) to 760-to-1 (2014-2015).\nAlabama\u2019s ratio also shifted 9 percent, but in the other direction. The state lost nearly 150 school counselors between 2013-2014 and 2014-2015, increasing its ratio from 417-to-1 to 453-to-1.\nASCA\u2019s full report, with a state-by-state breakdown, is available online: schoolcounselor.org/asca/media/asca/home/Ratios14-15.pdf\nRead ASCA\u2019s press release about this year\u2019s numbers: schoolcounselor.org/asca/media/asca/Press%20releases/ASCA-Student-to-SC-Ratios-Press-Release-10_2017-Final.pdf\nThe American Counseling Association\u2019s School Counselor Connection page: counseling.org/knowledge-center/school-counselor-connection\nSchool Counseling, school counselors audience\nBringing the family counseling perspective into schools\nBy S. Kent Butler, Tony D. Crespi and Mackenzie McNamara May 8, 2017\nChildren in schools today come from increasingly diverse and complex families. As illustration, more than 1 million families are impacted annually by divorce. In fact, approximately 13.7 million single parents are raising 21.8 million children, and 1 in 3 Americans are stepparents, stepchildren, stepsiblings or part of a stepfamily. Furthermore, according to a 2009 article published in the journal Family Relations, it is estimated that only 31 percent of fathers who no longer live with their children maintain weekly contact with those children. It is easy to conclude that the issue of divorce alone has a profound impact on many millions of children in the U.S.\nNow imagine that a young student and her mother walk into the professional school counselor\u2019s office on a Monday morning. Mom explains that she and her husband are pursuing a divorce \u2014 he recently told her that he\u2019s been having an affair and has decided to move in with his girlfriend. The daughter acknowledges feelings of depression and admits to having angry outbursts at home. Mom says she is concerned because her daughter\u2019s grades have been dropping.\nConsidering the large number of children and adolescents coping with parental divorce, it\u2019s not surprising that this fragmented family came to the school counselor\u2019s office. In fact, it\u2019s a good thing. Both daughter and mother need someone to talk to, and schools are a natural access point for services. However, many professional school counselors are not trained in family dynamics and are not familiar with key tenets that impact family counseling, so they may not know how to proceed.\nA sample case\nSusie is 15. A high school freshman, she knows only that her father left the house two months ago to move in with his girlfriend. Susie\u2019s parents had been together for 16 years, getting married shortly after college.\nSusie\u2019s father hasn\u2019t called since leaving. Susie is unaware that her father told her mother that although he loves Susie and her younger sister, who is in seventh grade, he hasn\u2019t missed seeing them in the least. Mom decided not to share this comment with the children, but she does confide this secret to you, the professional school counselor.\nSitting in your office, Susie suddenly looks up and exclaims that she is scared she will have to move and change schools. She also says that she\u2019s having a really tough time paying attention in class and explains that her grades are slipping. \u201cI hate my dad for doing this!\u201d she yells.\nSuddenly, Susie starts shaking and breaks down in tears. After a few minutes, Susie tells you that she is spending a lot of time with her boyfriend, partly to stay out of her house. She acknowledges feeling depressed. After pausing for a moment, she looks at her mom and states, \u201cI really hate Dad. His girlfriend is so young. She\u2019s in her 20s. She\u2019s not much older than me!\u201d\nAcademically, Susie has been an A and B student, but her grades have fallen since her father left. Her mother acknowledges that things are tough at home and reveals that she didn\u2019t learn about her husband\u2019s affair until the day he moved out. \u201cI really don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d she tells you. \u201cI know we\u2019re getting a divorce, but beyond that I just don\u2019t know.\u201d\nYour school doesn\u2019t have a social worker. However, you have a colleague who has been studying family counseling, so you knock on her door to ask for a consultation. After sitting down, you share a few thoughts.\nYou note that, fundamentally, Susie needs someone to talk to about these issues. Acknowledging that you are speculating, you openly wonder what type of impact the obviously poor communication in Susie\u2019s family is having on her. After all, her father has not called in two months, her mother was completely unaware of the affair and her mother is keeping the father\u2019s confession of not missing his kids a secret. These facets alone highlight poor family communication. In addition, Susie is scared that she might have to move and change schools. Clearly the issues are widespread.\nHere are some risk points to consider as you work with Susie:\nParenting after a divorce differs significantly from parenting prior to\na divorce.\nSingle-parent families in the United States are increasing.\nChildren of divorce have more mental health problems in comparison with their peers.\nSuicide is the third-leading cause of death among U.S. youth.\nBrain regions responsible for decision-making are not fully developed in youth.\nChanges in family structure can have an affect on school grades.\nAnxiety, depression and behavior problems are elevated after divorce.\nChildren of divorce often feel a sense of instability.\nAn understanding of these risk points is essential for moving forward with children and families because the risk points can provide direction for the work that needs to be done. For example, knowing that mental health symptoms are elevated following divorce and impulsive decision-making is greater among youth, you should assess Susie\u2019s level of safety. In this case, Susie also makes many \u201cred flag\u201d statements.\nThese are things that counselors know how to address but might not always consider without an awareness of the data. In addition, parents can become defensive, or they might blame themselves for their children\u2019s difficulties. For this reason, it is imperative to educate parents on these risk points. It is also important to realize that family issues may require clinical supervision.\nSupervision around work with families\nSusie is not alone. As your colleague notes, Susie is one of many children and adolescents who are coping with family stressors. With the prevalence of so many family issues, a growing number of states have enabled licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) to work in the schools. Connecticut, New Mexico, Maine, Texas and Illinois have passed specific laws to allow LMFTs to work in schools, whereas Massachusetts allows LMFTs to work under a general mental health designation.\nSchools clearly represent an important access point for mental health professionals. But with only six states utilizing LMFTs in schools, it is extremely important for professional school counselors and their supervisors to know how to manage these situations with families.\nAs you ponder your next meeting with Susie, you need information. Direct supervisors are often part of the structure of many agencies, but professional school counselors might need to seek support from a colleague with training in family counseling. Such supervision might come from a guidance director, a school psychologist, a consulting psychologist, a marriage and family counselor, or a local family agency.\nTwo popular family therapy models that might help Susie are presented below.\nSymbolic-experiential family therapy\nThis model, derived from the work of Carl Whitaker, addresses both individual and relational patterns. It is focused on both personal growth and family relations.\nFundamentally, the therapist helps dislodge rigid patterns and stimulates flexibility using a family\u2019s natural pull toward growth. Focusing on the present, the therapist helps people recognize their real feelings, express those feelings and move forward, individually and as a family. Key points follow.\nThe \u201cbattle for structure\u201d involves clients (a family) \u201csizing up\u201d a therapist. There is no \u201cidentified patient\u201d; rather, the family is the therapy unit. In this model, the therapist must win the battle and control therapy. For instance, if the therapist invites the entire family and one member does not show up to the session, the therapist may refuse to meet until everyone attends. In the case with Susie, you might note that you, Susie, her mother and Susie\u2019s sister must all attend.\nThe family must win the \u201cbattle for initiative\u201d; this involves their decision to take charge of their lives and decisions. Is Susie committed to resolving her feelings? Will she commit to six counseling sessions? Is she willing to confront her father about calling his children? Is she motivated to initiate change?\nTherapy progresses through stages:\n1) Engagement: This is the \u201cmeet and greet\u201d phase. You have already started this stage with Susie and her mom.\n2) Middle phase: Families are encouraged to change through confrontations, encouragement and interventions. Can Susie\u2019s family meet to start this process?\n3) Late phase: Increased flexibility is a focus for the family. Can Susie\u2019s family talk through how the divorce will change their life?\n4) Separation: As the therapist separates, the family takes responsibility.\nSymbolic-experiential family therapy often advocates the use of co-therapy, making it a great model to use with a more \u201csenior\u201d therapist. In this fashion, supervision can be active and ongoing as you acquire firsthand skills in family counseling.\nThe structural approach, typically associated with Salvador Minuchin, views problems as being rooted in family interactions. Fundamentally, if we can help change the family\u2019s organization (structure), its members typically find that they feel better and their symptoms are often relieved. Key points follow.\nEnmeshment or disengagement: Family members may range from those who are overly connected to those who are disengaged. Enmeshment tends to prevent growing maturity, whereas disengagement may lead a child to feel abandoned. Most families are not one or the other but have subsystems that reflect their tendencies. For example, a disengaged father who is overly involved at work may neglect the family. In response, the mother may compensate by becoming overly involved. Is Dad really connected? What is the structure\nBoundaries: Are parental boundaries rigid or flexible? Are grandparents a resource? Can a child visit Dad at work, or does the family maintain a rigid rule against it? Can Susie ask Dad questions? What are the boundaries? What is spoken? What is unspoken?\nAlignments: Who joins together? Are children aligned against the parents? Did a parent resent and refuse to attend a child\u2019s sporting activities? Did a parent require everyone to attend? What are the alignments?\nTriangulation: The permutations of triangulation in families can be abundant. A child and parent may triangulate against another parent. A parent having an affair can create a triangle with the other spouse. Will Susie triangulate with Mom against Dad? What triangles exit?\nThe structural model also features several stages:\n1) Joining and accommodating\n2) Assessing family interactions\n3) Monitoring dysfunction\n4) Restructuring patterns\nWhen a student walks into a professional school counselor\u2019s office, we are presented with a rare opportunity. When a student and parent walk in together, we are handed an even rarer opportunity.\nFamily counseling offers unique and engaging ways of reframing problems. Rather than blaming an individual for a particular problem, family counselors look at the family system. Perhaps a child\u2019s acting-out behaviors allow parents to avoid looking at their relational problems. Perhaps a child\u2019s failing grades reflect more on family anxiety and stress than on individual issues. Fundamentally, family counseling takes a larger, more systemic perspective of presenting issues.\nProfessional school counselors possess wonderful skill sets. They understand rapport building. They understand relational dynamics. They understand problem assessment and the utility of interventions. The connection between families and school adjustment is undeniable. At the same time, school counselors will likely find continuing education and supervision indispensable in helping families.\nIn our experience, students and families can often benefit from a family counseling perspective. With so many students in the schools coping with changing family structures, it is vital that we expand our skill sets. Fortunately, there are multiple platforms through which we can provide help. Some of these options include:\nIndividual counseling from a family perspective\nCo-therapy with single families\nSchool-based divorce groups with multiple children\nSingle-parent support groups\nThis article is intended to stimulate thinking and provide a preliminary glimpse into two prominent family counseling theories. Our advice? Be available. Be sensitive. Consider finding a supervisor who is capable of expanding your knowledge and skills in this invaluable area. Truly, children, families and the community stand only to benefit.\nS. Kent Butler is an associate professor at the University of Central Florida.

        "title": "6 Mistakes to Avoid In Your New Hire Onboarding Process - CultureIQ",
        "raw_content": "6 Mistakes to Avoid In Your New Hire Onboarding Process\nYour new hire on-boarding process is when you set the tone for an employee\u2019s experience. When done well, new employees will feel confident and excited. When done poorly, new hires might be left confused, lost, and doubting their new job choice.\nAccording to a report compiled by SHRM, \u201chalf of all senior outside hires fail within the first 18 months in a new position,\u201d and \u201chalf of all hourly workers leave new jobs within the first 120 days.\u201d\nDon\u2019t let your employees become part of those statistics. Here are a few common mistakes that you should avoid when executing your new hire on-boarding:\n1. Starting on-boarding on the new hire\u2019s first day.\nAn employee should feel prepared and comfortable before they even enter the office on their first day, and this requires some effort on your end. There is a fine line here, because new hires shouldn\u2019t feel like they have homework to do before starting the job. Instead, err on the side of caution by providing them with optional information to review (an employee handbook or company materials) and an overview of what to expect. Explain the dress code standards, any documents they should bring, who they will be working with, and the on-boarding schedule.\nIn addition to the new employee feeling prepared for their first day, existing employees should be prepared to welcome the new hire. Notify everyone of new employees, and encourage the staff to engage with them.\n2. Not setting expectations and company policies.\nThis goes for formal company policies, position responsibilities, and less formal elements of a job. In a study of 1,005 individuals, \u201cprovide clearer guidelines\u201d was the main thing that companies could do differently to retain new hires. In the same study, \u201cdifferent work than expected\u201d was a key reason why new employees leave quickly. These results paint the picture of why it\u2019s important to establish guidelines early and clearly.\nTo begin, all new hires should understand the company\u2019s mission statement and core values, and what this means for their position. Any expectations or policies should be written down and accessible at all times. Further, after an employee has had a chance to review any guidelines, proactively inquire about their clarity and provide the opportunity to ask questions.\n3. Instituting a one-size-fits-all approach for every new hire.\nAs Inc.\u2019s on-boarding guide explains, each employee requires a different management style, so why assume that everyone would flourish under the same on-boarding process? At the beginning of on-boarding, inquire about a new hire\u2019s learning style, and adjust your schedule accordingly. Make it clear that feedback is welcomed, and that they are encouraged to ask questions whenever necessary. Don\u2019t forget to make sure they knew who to go to for questions!\nSimilarly, on-boarding is a great opportunity to make employees feel valued off the bat. Consider personalizing certain elements of their on-boarding. Did you learn something about the employee in their interview process, such as a favorite sports team or their alma mater? Surprise them with a reference to that on their first day.\n4. Involving only the new hire\u2019s direct team or department.\nWhile it\u2019s important that an employee feels part of their immediate team, they should also feel connected to the company as a whole. One important component of this is establishing a connection to the top. This will differ depending on your company\u2019s size. If you\u2019re a small company, you have the luxury of face-to-face meetings and encounters. If you\u2019re a bigger company, technology will come in handy to facilitate this connection. For example, Inc.\u2019s on-boarding guide recommends having key leadership introduce themselves over video.\n5. Limiting on-boarding to one week.\nWhile you might be able to cover most of the basic details in the first week, learning and training should be an ongoing process. Employees should always know where to go for questions, at any point during their employment. For example, IBM recognizes that employees are still in the process of \u201cconnecting\u201d to the organization for the first full year of their employment. To encourage this, IBM provides new employees with an \u201cask coach\u201d who serves as their go-to for guidance, resources, and general support throughout the process.\n6. Forgetting to follow-up.\nThere are two types of feedback that are important to gather throughout, immediately after, and a few months after on-boarding.\nA) It\u2019s important to collect feedback on the overall on-boarding and training process so that you can continue to iterate for future hires. A survey is a great way to compile this information and measure change over time. Ask new hires about what worked, what didn\u2019t work, and what the company can do better.\nB) You should also collect feedback on an individual basis. As explained in the third point, every employee learns and assimilates differently, so it\u2019s important that you keep a pulse on how the individual is feeling throughout (and after!) their on-boarding.",

        "raw_content": "Wine Writer, Editor\nIn the U.K. the huge supermarket chains dominate wine retail, and their buying power and the competitive nature of the market mean that price discounts\u2014some genuine, some manufactured\u2014are a constant. Wine is often used as a loss leader to drive foot traffic in-store, where customers will swell the retailer\u2019s coffers by doing the rest of their grocery shopping.\nSo among the seminars at this year\u2019s London Wine Fair was a session entitled Chasing the Premium, at which members of the U.K. wine industry were beating themselves up over the age-old question: How to get consumers to trade up?\nHaving gone around in circles in this debate, alighting on the usual touchpoints of education and marketing, it fell to Mark Jarman, the senior buying manager for wine at the supermarket chain Morrisons, to offer a sobering perspective. \u201cMany of our customers aren\u2019t interested in trading up,\u201d he said. \u201cThey put aside \u00a35 for a bottle in their weekly shop and that\u2019s it.\u201d\nComing from a representative of one of the U.K.\u2019s notorious supermarkets when it comes to this sort of \u201closs leader\u201d behavior, the observation was somewhat laughable. Certainly such customers have little incentive to trade up when they are bombarded with spurious promotions luring them into the store\u2014in the mistaken belief that they can get a decent bottle for \u00a34.99, a price that delivers neither value to the consumer nor profit to the supply chain.\nThis \u201cconstant race to the bottom\u201d on the part of the major chains was derided by Andrew Bewes of the importer Hallgarten Druitt as \u201ca disaster for everyone.\u201d His stance hints at a change in mindset in the U.K. For years, the average amount spent on a bottle of wine here hovered stubbornly below the \u00a35 barrier. But constant tax hikes, together with the pound\u2019s post-Brexit fall, has made this price point undeliverable without reducing quality to an even more execrable state.\nThis may be tolerated by the weekly shopper but not others, it seems. In the past four years, the average price of a bottle has risen sharply, to crest \u00a35.50. In its latest range review, Sainsbury\u2019s, one of the leading supermarkets, cut its \u00a35 to \u00a35.50 offerings and expanded its premium tier, notably in the \u00a37 to \u00a310 bracket. Such a move suggests that people are willing to spend more to drink better.\nWhether this is due to anything the wine trade has done, however, is open to question.\nThere\u2019s no doubt that the industry has effectively communicated the message that the majority of a \u00a35 bottle goes to fixed costs\u2014notably tax but also marketing, packaging, transport, and the like\u2014meaning that if consumers spend an extra \u00a32, it goes to better wine. As a result, there should be a huge opportunity in persuading \u201cbottom-feeders\u201d to trade up. But they will only do so if they are given compelling insights into a wine\u2019s quality and makeup. And while such savvy marketing is commonplace in the spirits and beer sectors, the wine trade hasn\u2019t grasped the nettle.\nStudies show that British drinkers are skeptical about spending more on wines they don\u2019t know much about. There is still, it seems, a perception that they\u2019re being hoodwinked by all that talk of terroir and tannins. Certainly premium wine brands have done a pretty lousy job in making their case. Meanwhile, innovation\u2013\u2013say, new styles presented in packaging that appeals to a generation brought up on craft beers and small-batch gins\u2013\u2013is, according to Jarman, \u201calmost nonexistent.\u201d The industry even seems to miss the open goal that\u2019s presented by a wine\u2019s back label, real estate that could easily be used to make the case for higher quality. I suspect most of those who trade up do so merely as part of natural maturation, in the same way I have upgraded my choice of car, watch, and coffee since my teens.\nThe unlikely saviors may reside among the next generation of drinkers. Drinkaware, a U.K.-based charity involved in curbing alcohol abuse, says the price per liter for alcohol spent by 18- to 24-year-olds is rising; the trade needs to persuade young consumers to value quality over quantity from the get-go. Trying to get them to trade up from a low base is a much tougher proposition. Just ask brand Australia, which has enjoyed huge success in volume but has struggled to convert that into value, with its average bottle price a paltry \u00a35.15. A U.K. importer of Aussie wine complained recently that \u201cthe wine trade is terrible at signposting reasons to buy quality products,\u201d while another highlighted the need \u201cto persuade people to trade up to areas where there is more profit but also more interest and diversity.\u201d\nHow to get there? As the old joke goes, I wouldn\u2019t start from here \u2026\nGuy Woodward is a wine writer and the former editor of Decanter, the leading British consumer wine magazine, where he worked for 10 years.

        "raw_content": "Capitals trounce former coach Barry Trotz and Islanders\nTom Wilson had extra time to work on his skills while serving a suspension during the first 16 games of the season. It\u2019s paid off in a big way for the Washington Capitals since his return.\nWilson scored twice, Braden Holtby stopped 32 shots and the Capitals beat the Islanders and former coach Barry Trotz 4-1 Monday night for their season-high sixth straight win.\nWilson has six goals and five assists in eight games since joining the lineup, including goals in four straight games.\n\u201cI had lots of time, worked on a little bit of everything,\u201d he said. \u201cI just tried to make sure I could pick up where we left off last year. We were playing some pretty good hockey at the end of last year, some pretty good chemistry going. I just wanted to make sure I jumped in and do whatever I can to get up to speed.\u201d\nBarry Trotz walks off the ice after losing to the team he used to coach. (Adam Hunger / AP)\nCapitals coach Todd Rierden has noticed the difference in Wilson\u2019s play.\n\u201cHis overall puck handling is at a different level than it\u2019s been in the past,\u201d Rierden said. \u201cIt comes back to him maximizing his opportunity and he\u2019s been outstanding for us.\u201d\nNic Dowd and Alex Ovechkin also scored for Washington, which won after giving up the first goal for the fifth time during its win streak that has catapulted the defending champions to first place in the Metropolitan Division.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve had some slow starts recently,\u201d Rierden said. \u201cIt seems to help engage our group right away and raise the desperation and urgency. That\u2019s not a real recipe for success but it seems to be working right now.\u201d\nValtteri Filppula scored and Thomas Greiss finished with 20 saves for the Islanders, who were playing for the fourth time in six days and snapped a two-game win streak.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t feel we had as much juice as we did against Carolina (on Saturday) and the other games,\u201d Trotz said. \u201cWe just didn\u2019t. \u2026 We didn\u2019t have the legs under us that we usually have when we\u2019re fresh.\u201d\nTrotz was facing the Capitals for the first time since leading them to the franchise\u2019s first Stanley Cup title in June. Trotz also guided Washington to the Presidents\u2019 Trophy for the league\u2019s best record in 2015-16 and 2016-17 and then resigned in a contract dispute and subsequently signed with the Islanders.\nTrotz, Islanders assistant coach Lane Lambert and goalie coach Mitch Korn received their championship rings in the Capitals\u2019 dressing room before the game and addressed their former players.\nHoltby stopped 15 shots in the third to improve to 15-4-3 in 22 career games against the Islanders.\n\u201cIt\u2019s one of those games we had to grind out,\u201d Holtby said. \u201cGot some big plays, big shots at important times. \u2026 (The Islanders) had a lot of traffic in front. They were doing stuff that Barry preaches.\u201d\nLeading 2-1, Washington had a two-man advantage for 1\u00bd minutes. After several attempts were stopped during the 5-on-3, Wilson beat Greiss in front about 15 seconds after the Islanders\u2019 first penalty expired for a power-play goal to push the Capitals\u2019 lead to 3-1 with 5:39 left.\nOvechkin added an empty-netter with 22 seconds remaining for his 18th of the season, tying him with Buffalo\u2019s Jeff Skinner for second in the league.\nTied 1-1 after one period, the Islanders nearly regained the lead early in the second as Washington defenseman Matt Niskanen almost stuffed the rebound of Pulock\u2019s shot off Holtby and across the goal line. After a review the no-goal call stood as officials confirmed the puck didn\u2019t cross the line.\nDowd then put the Capitals ahead 2-1 at 7:58 of the middle period as he took a drop pass from Dmitrij Jaskin in the right circle and beat Greiss on the glove side for his third. It came on Washington\u2019s second shot on goal of the period.\nFilppula opened the scoring just 36 seconds into the game with a backhander past Holtby\u2019s glove side for his seventh.\nWilson tied it at 2:50 as his shot from the right faceoff dot beat Greiss through the legs.",

        "title": "Review: Batgirl #8 - Dark Knight News",
        "raw_content": "HomeNewsReviewsComic ReviewsReview: Batgirl #8\n/barbara gordonBatgirlcomic reviewsDC Comics\nArtist: Chris Wildgoose & Jon Lam\nIt\u2019s tough to think that a comic can have aggressively old and new fashioned dialogue in a single line, but then there\u2019s Magpie telling Batgirl, \u201cYou ruined my five star rating, and now you\u2019re going to pay!\u201d This is something that occurs time and again in this title. Luckily, it still manages to fall into the realm of being endearing rather than outright cheesiness.\nAs for the issue itself, it focuses heavily on furthering the question of whether Ethan Cobblepot bears any worrisome similarities to his father, the Penguin. He still manages to seem like a perfectly nice guy. Even the moments that are sort of stuck in there to make him look possibly sinister don\u2019t actually make him look that sinister.\nPersonally, I would love it if Ethan doesn\u2019t turn out to be the bad guy. I have a feeling the book might go in the other direction, but it would be both refreshing and surprising if he was just the sweet, decent guy he appeared to be at first. Being the child of a villain doesn\u2019t make you a villain\u2014in fact, Marvel has a whole comic series revolving around that concept. And if he does turn out to be a villain, here\u2019s hoping he doesn\u2019t just become a carbon copy of his father. We certainly don\u2019t need two of them running around.\nWhile this issue doesn\u2019t necessarily feel complete on its own\u2014its mostly a bridge to further arcs on the developing storyline rather than having a specific storyline to itself\u2014there are great moments to be had. The Two-Face escape room at the beginning is particularly delightful. Still, as a whole, it left me wanting more. Previous issues have been great at telling a single-issue story that still furthers an ongoing plot, but this one is heavily focused in the latter direction.\nStill, the character work is strong. It remains a topical book as well, but manages to address things that many comics still aren\u2019t addressing in ways that feel real and organic. The moment where Alysia talks about being misgendered is great, especially because Larson allowed Barbara to handle the moment badly. Not everyone knows how to support their trans friends all the time and the way that situation unfolded felt incredibly real.\nRafael Albuquerque\u2019s style has defined the current incarnation of the series and it\u2019s impossible to think of Batgirl in its present form without his art, but that doesn\u2019t stop Chris Wildgoose from creating dynamic visuals that fit with the style of the series as a whole. The new design for Magpie is surprising, but certainly fits into the overall style of Batgirl and the different designs of villains we have seen so far.\nI would like to see the next issue really delve deep into the characters at the center of this arc. This one addressed some interesting points, but skirted around a few things instead of diving in. Still, there were a few great moments to keep me excited and I remain intrigued to see how this is all going to pan out.\nTags:barbara gordonBatgirlcomic reviewsDC Comics",

He is the current Eagle Fellow, sponsored by Eagle Construction in support of research in the field of advanced construction technologies.\nWith that fellowship, he helps conduct research in the Rinker School\u2019s Center for Advanced Construction Information Modeling (CACIM).\nWhat have you valued most about your time at the College of Design, Construction and Planning?\nI really love the fact that each student comes from a different country and a different culture. In addition to the academic knowledge I am gaining, I get to meet new people and learn about their backgrounds and interests. Also, I like the multidisciplinary aspect of DCP where you get to take classes with colleagues in other majors and learn about their research projects in architecture, urban planning, interior design, historic preservation or construction management.\nWhat class have you enjoyed the most so far at DCP?\nThe class I enjoyed the most so far is the Doctoral Core class. I guess it is the class that has the most variety of students. It really opens your mind to other research projects in the college. Also, the input you get from your peers regarding your own research project is very valuable.\nWhat will you take away from your time here at DCP?\nBecause of the many info sessions, seminars and career fairs, I will be taking away great connections with people from academia and from the industry. But most importantly, I will take away great friendships I built with colleagues, faculty and staff.",

        "raw_content": "Risk assessment and relationship management: practical approach to supply chain risk management\nRitchie, Bob\nArmstrong, Nick\nThe literature suggests the need for incorporating the risk construct into the measurement of organisational performance, although few examples are available as to how this might be undertaken in relation to supply chains. A conceptual framework for the development of performance and risk management within the supply chain is evolved from the literature and empirical evidence. The twin levels of dyadic performance/risk management and the management of a portfolio of performance/risks is addressed, employing Agency Theory to guide the analysis. The empirical evidence relates to the downstream management of dealerships by a large multinational organisation. Propositions are derived from the analysis relating to the issues and mechanisms that may be employed to effectively manage a portfolio of supply chain performance and risks.\nRITCHIE, R.L., BRINDLEY, C.S. and ARMSTRONG, N., (2008) Risk assessment and relationship management: practical approach to supply chain risk management., International Journal of Agile Systems and Management.International Journal of Agile Systems and Management, 3 (34), pp. 228-247.\nInderscience Enterprises\n10.1504/IJASM.2008.021211\nhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1504/IJASM.2008.021211\nAmbiguity, manageability and the orchestration of organisational change: a case study of an English Premier League Academy Manager\nGibson, Luke; Groom, Ryan; University of Derby; Manchester Metropolitan University (Taylor Francis, 2017-04-05)\nAn academy is an organisational context operated by professional football clubs, governed by the rules of the English Football Association and the English Premier League.

The Academy Manager is responsible for the strategic leadership and operation of the club\u2019s academy. This includes implementing the club\u2019s philosophy, coaching and games programme, player education, and the management of academy staff. The purpose of this paper is to explore the experiences of Simon [pseudonym], an English Premier League Academy Manager, when implementing organisational change within an academy. Data were collected from a work-based diary and four in-depth semi-structured interviews. The notion of orchestration is used as an analytical frame to make sense of Simon\u2019s experiences through the change process and further our understanding of the social complexities of organisational change in elite sporting environments.\nExpatriates in Abu-Dhabi: an investigation of cross-cultural management, adjustment and training of Western expatriate managers in Abu-Dhabi, (UAE)\nAl Qaisi, Lamees (University of Derby, 2001)\nAligning talent management with approaches to equality and diversity: challenges for UK public sector managers\nHarris, Lynette; Foster, Carley; Nottingham Trent University (EmeraldBingley, 2010)",

King, Dartmouth College\nBlack women have long recognized the special circumstances of our lives in the United States: the commonalities that we share with all women, as well as the bonds that connect us to the men of our race. We have also realized that the interactive oppressions that circumscribe our lives provide a distinctive context for black womanhood. For us, the notion of double jeopardy is not a new one. Near the end of the nineteenth century, Anna Julia Cooper, who was born a slave and later became an educator and earned a Ph.D., often spoke and wrote of the double enslavement of black women and of our being \"confronted by both a woman question and a race problem.\"' In 1904, Mary Church Terrell, the first president of the National Association of Colored Women, wrote, \"Not only are colored women... handicapped on account of their sex, but they are almost everywhere baffled and mocked because of their race.

But mostly, it\u2019s transforming and inspiring.\nI\u2019m making it a goal to shed a lot of things this year, like insecurity, weight and worry\u2026 and replace those things with positive, proactive things, like goal-setting, mentoring, and good health.\nWish me luck as I shine.\nPrevious postHow has your 2011 been?\nNext postWhy I love my Nook Color\n1 thought on \u201cBaby, you\u2019re a firework\u201d\nI really started getting that full-fledged adult feeling early this year when I turned 40 years old.

        "raw_content": "3 Responses to \u201cBob Dylan \u201cBob Dylan\u2019s Greatest Hits\u201d\u201d\nThis is a good contrast to the Sly & The Family Stone \u201cGreatest Hits\u201d record, which I haven\u2019t commented on your review of yet, but hope to. I agree, some of the best of Bob\u2019s songs are the ones that they don\u2019t play all the time on the radio (and yeah, I hate that \u201cRainy Day Women\u201d song too, always have \u2014 it\u2019s such a dumb \u2018joke\u2019 song.). One song of his that may possibly be my favorite, or at least in the top 3, is \u201cTangled Up In Blue,\u201d which I have to assume came out years after this compilation, and I know it did get some airplay when it came out, and maybe still does sometimes on \u201cClassic Rock\u201d radio (or does it \u2014 do Classic Rock stations actually ever play Dylan?), but it certainly never suffered from being overplayed.\nHarmonicas are weird instruments, how harsh and grating they can be sometimes (like the guy on the Twilight Zone who scared off a space alien invasion by playing his harmonica for them, which made them cringe in pain!), but other people can play them and make them work in the context of the music. I never really minded Dylan\u2019s playing, and actually, having tried to play harmonica while playing guitar before, which I found to be truly very difficult to coordinate, I have to have a certain amount of respect for those who do that. But then I also actually really like rock songs that sound like trains \u2014 like this great Neil Young song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBG6Yi_q8Lw\nI do like some blues harmonica, especially when it sounds weird and otherworldly, but Bob Dylan\u2019s I can always do without. But then he\u2019s recorded more music than everyone else put together, so there\u2019s probably something out there (by Dylan, harmonica-wise) I\u2019d like. It\u2019s funny, there are a few of his songs you couldn\u2019t pay me to listen to, and then others, that I\u2019ve listened to ONE MILLION TIME that when they come on, I stop what I\u2019m doing and listen like it\u2019s the most amazing thing I\u2019ve heard for the first time. As far as train songs, I\u2019d admit to liking a few, like that one by the Channel Masters.\nOh yeah, that ChannelMasters Train song is definitely one of the better ones! Elizabeth Cotten\u2019s \u201cFreight Train\u201d is pretty good too.\n\u00ab Sly & The Family Stone \u201cGreatest Hits\u201d\nKinky Friedman \u201cKinky Friedman\u201d \u00bb",

In fact, it\u2019s a federal crime to do so \u2013 unless you\u2019re a member of law enforcement or the military; in that case, you\u2019re allowed to use your gun while you\u2019re on duty.\nWhat Are You Supposed to Do With Your Guns?\nYou\u2019ll have to turn over your guns to law enforcement if you\u2019re under an order of protection or a court has convicted you of a domestic violence offense in Illinois. The same is true for your FOID card. Typically, you must surrender your guns and your FOID card at a time and place designated by the court; they\u2019ll issue a warrant that allows law enforcement to seize them from you.\nOnce that\u2019s done, the court will return your FOID card to the Illinois Department of State Police.\nIs the Gun Ban Permanent After a Domestic Violence Conviction?\nIf a court convicts you of a domestic violence offense, you\u2019ll be permanently banned from owning or possessing firearms.\nHas Illinois Charged You With a Domestic Violence Crime?\nBecause a domestic violence conviction can significantly change the course of your future, it\u2019s a good idea to contact a domestic violence defense lawyer in Chicago as soon as possible. Your lawyer will evaluate your case and determine the best course of action based on your circumstances.\nIf you need help, we\u2019re here for you.\nCall us at 847-920-4540 or get in touch with us online as soon as you can.\nBy Matt Fakhoury|2016-10-28T15:48:44+00:00March 7th, 2016|Domestic Violence|0 Comments",

        "title": "Radiesse Collagen and Volume Skin Treatment in New York",
        "raw_content": "One of the consequences of aging is that our bodies gradually reduce the production of youth-infusing collagen, which adds volume and suppleness to our skin. As a result, our face and hands begin to show the signs of early aging with fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Fortunately, the dermal filler Radiesse makes it possible to safely and effectively stimulate collagen production while at the same time restoring your skin\u2019s natural, youthful appearance.\nBoard-certified dermatologist Dr. Bradley S. Bloom is an expert in injectable fillers and offers a wide range of filler options in New York to help his patients achieve a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.\nFDA-approved Radiesse is an injectable filler that was specifically designed to help stimulate the body\u2019s natural production of collagen, while at the same time, calcium-based microspheres in the gel provide patients with immediate volume and lift in treated areas. With a single Radiesse treatment, wrinkles are softened and lines or creases are filled in, restoring both plumpness and elasticity.\nWhat sets Radiesse apart from other cosmetic fillers is that it uses cutting-edge technology to promote the body\u2019s own natural healing process and collagen production, which provides patients with long-term results that are natural-looking and beautiful. Radiesse is long-lasting with results resolving gradually over time, while the natural collagen that has been stimulated maintains its suppleness and volume.\nRadiant Results\nRadiesse is a powerhouse cosmetic treatment that can smooth out deep wrinkles and lines around the nose and mouth as well as add contours to areas of the face that have lost their shape due to the aging process.\nRadiesse doesn\u2019t just contour like other dermal fillers; it stimulates the growth of new collagen, restoring a smooth texture and youthful elasticity. This combination of filler and collagen production makes Radiesse a perfect choice to smooth out and re-contour your face for a more youthful look.\nAs one of the most versatile dermal fillers on the market today, Radiesse can be used for a variety of cosmetic goals for the face or hands, including:\nNasolabial folds (creases around the nose and mouth)\nMarionette lines (wrinkles that run down from the corners of the mouth)\nLoose and sagging skin along the jaw or pre-jowl folds\nWrinkles on or along the chin\nSagging, hollow cheeks\nLoose skin and wrinkles on the hands\nRadiesse has become one of the most popular anti-aging treatments because of its wide range of benefits. Some of these benefits include:\nTreatment is quick and minimally invasive\nPromotes the body\u2019s own collagen production\nMaintains volume\nA. Radiesse provides immediate improvement in treated areas. With a cosmetic Radiesse treatment, patients can enjoy a noticeable improvement in their facial wrinkles and volume from one year to three years, depending on the severity of your particular facial lines and the areas of your face that you have treated. Compared to other dermal fillers that can last 6 months to a year, Radiesse offers Dr. Bloom\u2019s patients results that are both beautiful and long-lasting.\nQ. How long is an injectable filler treatment?\nA. Once your cosmetic goals have been discussed and a treatment area determined, a Radiesse treatment typically takes a matter of minutes.\nA. Radiesse is a very safe, effective dermal filler treatment. While some patients experience slight swelling or bruising, redness, or general discomfort immediately following the procedure, these side effects generally disappear gradually within a matter of hours or a few days.\nQ. How long does recovery take?\nA. After your Radiesse treatment with Dr. Bloom, you can head right back to work or your regular routine. There is no downtime. While patients can resume their daily activities after a dermal filler treatment, it is strongly suggested that patients do not touch the treated area for at least 24 hours following the session and avoid any dental work for two weeks.\nA. Radiesse was FDA approved after years of rigorous clinical testing and is used by physicians for hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide. Not only is it both safe and effective, there were virtually no allergic reactions in the FDA clinical studies.\nThe Radiesse Advantage\nIf you want to restore the natural, supple appearance of your hands and face, contact Bradley S. Bloom, MD to see if Radiesse is right for you. Our dedicated team will create a comprehensive beauty treatment plan to provide the youthful results you desire, without any unnecessary downtime.\nNext, read about Sculptra.",

        "raw_content": "Cosmetic plastic surgery cannot change who you are on the inside. It can, however, allow you to see yourself in a different light, and that can change how you interact with the world around you. Cosmetic surgery, though still a somewhat taboo subject in our culture, has the ability like almost nothing else to change a person\u2019s self-perception and self-confidence.\nDr. Dennis Schimpf\u2019s new book, Finding Beauty: Become a Better You Through Plastic Surgery, is about how cosmetic surgery bridges the gap between the outer beauty someone sees and the inner beauty someone feels. This book explores the practical, emotional, and physical aspects of choosing to undergo cosmetic surgery.\nPractical advice from an expert in plastic surgery\nDr. Dennis Schimpf runs a successful cosmetic plastic surgery practice in Charleston, South Carolina, and in Finding Beauty he shares practical advice gained from years of experience on important topics such as:\nWhat makes a good candidate for plastic surgery\nHow to choose a plastic surgeon and develop a good rapport\nThe role of spouses, family, and friends before and after the procedure\nWhat predicts good outcomes\nThe truth about surgery, recovery, and scarring\nFactors that affect speed and success of recovery and scarring\nThe risks of cosmetic procedures\nPlastic surgery can be intimidating, and there\u2019s a lot of misinformation out there. Dr. Schimpf wrote Finding Beauty to dispell the myths and misunderstandings about cosmetic plastic surgery and to give people considering cosmetic surgery, and their friends and family who support them, the information they need to make smart decisions.\nA deep look at the emotional component of cosmetic surgery\nWhat makes someone a good candidate for plastic surgery? It may surprise you, but it\u2019s not all about physical health; it\u2019s largely about mental and emotional health, too.\nIn Finding Beauty, Dr. Schimpf discusses the emotional aspects of plastic surgery, including patients\u2019 motivations, their expectations, and how important a strong self-image is to satisfaction after the procedure.\nThe truth is, plastic surgery can change your physical appearance, but it can\u2019t change whether you value yourself on the inside. It can\u2019t change how other people feel about you. It can\u2019t fix a failing marriage or make someone fall in love with you. A physical procedure is never the answer to emotional issues. To avoid undergoing a procedure that won\u2019t ultimately be satisfying, it\u2019s important to examine motivations and expectations first.\nThe confidence to make\nThough plastic surgery is not a magical cure for unhappiness, it can be a powerful answer for many men and women who feel held back by what they see as a physical imperfection. As long as a patient\u2019s expectations are in line with reality, and he or she understand the limitations of cosmetic surgery, then it can be truly life-changing.\nDr. Schimpf knows that sometimes people feel \u201cselfish\u201d for considering cosmetic plastic surgery. Isn\u2019t it shallow? Aren\u2019t there more important things to worry about? These are common questions, and yet they diminish the value of positive self-image and self-confidence and how important those things are to a fulfilling life. People who undergo cosmetic plastic surgery for the right reasons often find themselves happier and more productive once the procedure is over, whether it\u2019s a tummy tuck, a \u201cmommy makeover,\u201d or a simple Botox injection. In Finding Beauty, Dr. Schimpf delves into this issue of whether it\u2019s selfish or selfless to choose to do something for yourself.\nUltimately, Finding Beauty is about helping people take a clear look at their motivations and expectations to discover for themselves whether they are a good candidate for plastic surgery or not. For those who aren\u2019t, they\u2019ll have a new insight into what they\u2019re really after. For those who are, Finding Beauty will give them the practical knowledge and inner confidence to make smart decisions regarding plastic surgery.",

        "title": "A Primer on Gender | Dr. Gail Beck",
        "raw_content": "A Primer on Gender\nI am bewildered by the various gender designations currently recognized and described. As a psychiatrist who sees primarily adolescents, I must be able to understand what a person means when they tell me that they are non-binary transgender or two-spirit.\nGender and gender roles were so restricted in my adolescence that when I wrote an essay in Grade 8 on why I might like to be male, I was given a very low mark and told to write a make-up essay. I was completely na\u00efve and totally bewildered. I wanted comfortable shoes and comfortable clothes and not to be treated like a freak for getting better marks than everyone else in my classes. Fast forward to the first time a young person told me during a clinical interview that they were pangender and you will realize, as I did, how much the world has changed. At the time, I dutifully wrote down the term and hoped it wasn\u2019t critical to the diagnosis, although I suspected it might affect treatment. That was three years ago. Today, I ask my patients who are still contemplating gender identity better questions and direct them to resources that might help them consider this.\nIt is not only youth who are recognizing gender differently. The Government of Canada now allows citizens to use X on their passports for gender, rather than female or male. As it is now accepted that recognizing these gender differences is the standard of care, let me outline the resources that I have used to be more aware of these changes, which affect clinical care in all disciplines.\nAt the most basic level, all clinicians are expected to provide a gender inclusive environment in their offices. The Gender Spectrum website has some of the best resources to do this and I refer to their material again and again. Remember that, as a person ages, both when they are young or as an adult, their understanding and acceptance of their sexuality and gender can evolve or change. In a world that tries to keep human beings in easily defined categories, it can be difficult to figure out how to characterize your gender. The tools at Gender Spectrum may help both a youth and their family to better understand gender identity.\nMany struggle to accept this evolution in gender identity, but acceptance is widespread. Facebook provides its users 70 possible gender designations. New York City officially recognizes 31 gender identities \u2013 my research suggests that this is the most designations of any government worldwide. Many governments, including Canada\u2019s government as I mentioned, have begun to allow citizens to put \u201cX\u201d on their passports when they do not identify as either female or male.\nParents of non-binary youth worry about providing the support their child needs. They may have mixed feelings about their child\u2019s sexual identity. Their hopes and dreams for their child may have been based on their gender. Even though many people are more accepting of non-binary identities, many are not. Far from accepting, many are downright hostile. Most non-binary youth that I see have suffered for identity. This is what I remember. It would be much easier for them to identify as male or female. If they can\u2019t, and have suffered because of this, let\u2019s not be the cause of further suffering and exclusion.\nCategories: My Blog\u2022Tags: Gender, Gender Identity, improving health care, Psychiatry\u2022\n2 thoughts on \u201cA Primer on Gender\u201d\nThe compassionate lead of yours and other professionals has brought about acceptance.

I plan to be there to write about it and report on it, to remind the world what it means in the face of Putin and world politics today.\nI was there on my honeymoon when the wall came down. But the irony goes deeper.\nI met my husband in the very church, in the very place, where Winston Churchill made his \u201cIron Curtain\u201d speech. We married in that same place on the Westminster College campus four years later, just two weeks after I graduated from my undergrad program. We honeymooned in Europe and chopped on the Berlin Wall at the same time as President Reagan, alongside those who had been caged by that wall. We then returned from Europe to see President Reagan dedicate a massive portion of the Iron Curtain just outside the little church where we married months before that day. We still have pieces of the wall to remind our children that history can repeat itself and that we have been witness to its atrocities. This isn\u2019t a movie, or a myth. Evil is real.\nThere will be huge celebrations marking the occasion in Germany, especially Berlin\nPrevious ArticleObama insider: \u2018Amateur hour at the White House\u2019\nNext Article SARAH PALIN HAS SOMETHING NEW TO RAVE ABOUT",

Recently, MA and MFA1 students from the University of Edinburgh participated in a WWII art project hosted by the Scottish Parliament to accompany a debate on the current state of affairs. This was a very big deal overseen by our capable colleague, Pilar Garc\u00eda de Le\u00e1niz.\nWith the graduate show looming and another project under contract, I wasn't able to participate in this one, but I did go to the opening night to support my friends. Here's the gang in front of their pieces. And one of Karin with hers as well. The building itself is wild. You should look it up. We met in a smaller discussion room. There, we listened to Sir Tom Divine talk about the history of Scottish referendums and Scotland's historic views towards immigration. It was very interesting, made more so by the interesting faces of those in attendance. I had to draw them (something I'm trying to do more of these days). Afterwards, we took a group shot in front of the impressive building with Arthur's Seat in the background. Then we headed to a local restaurant for some celebration grub. Good job, guys!",

        "raw_content": "The Charity Tribunal Decision dated 6th December 2011 allows the Appeal against the Charity Commission Scheme of 31st March 2011 brought by four village Appellants Alan Ground, Barrie Pople, Clare Lemieux and Celeste Lawrence, with the support of over eighty villagers. The Tribunal has used its powers to amend the Commission\u2019s Scheme. In explaining its decision the Tribunal thought it right to look beyond the terms of the 1957 Conveyance of the school to the Diocese and take account of the entire history of the Charity, including the 1839 foundation plaque, the Will of the benefactress Miss Woods, and the subsequent dealings with the property. From that history they saw a clear intention that the school should benefit the people of Dunsfold in particular, and considered that there should be a positive obligation on the Trustee to give preferential consideration to the provision of a school in Dunsfold before moving on to consider the wider permitted uses provided for in the Scheme.\nThe amended scheme incorporates the principal amendments sought by the Appellants, namely first that if the school is not used as a \u2018Church of England School for the education of children and adults or children only\u2019 it may, in preference to other charitable uses, be used \u2018as a school for the education of children who are resident or whose parents are resident in and around the parish of Dunsfold\u2019. The alternative uses, as all parties agreed, must be consistent with the principles of the Church of England, and the Tribunal noted that it was accepted at the hearing that a standard school curriculum could be expected to fall within this provision.\nSecondly the permitted term of a lease for such school purpose was extended by the Tribunal from 25 years in the Commission\u2019s scheme to 125 years, the Tribunal agreeing that a lease for school use should be long enough to enable the occupier to obtain loan finance towards the capital costs.\nSee the full Charity Tribunal Decision.",

Therefore, the treatment philosophy involves addressing addiction from a medical standpoint; our comprehensive methods include therapies designed to treat the physical aspects of addiction as well as those used to restore psychological and emotional health.\nAlso, since the causes and effects of addiction can vary on an individual basis, they tailor recovery strategies in the interest of suiting each patient's unique situation and needs. Through these personalized rehabilitation methods, they are able to provide the comprehensive, intensive care necessary to a full and healthy recovery.\nMission: Comprehensive Addiction Treatment\nDue to the complexities associated with addiction, they feel it is best treated through intensive residential care. At a drug treatment center, they offer inpatient treatment in a soothing environment, free from the distractions and temptations of the outside world. By providing constant care and support in a residential setting, they are able to integrate health and sobriety into the daily lives of residents. In this structured, nurturing atmosphere, patients are able to immerse themselves in treatment and devote their full focus to health and recovery. Also, through constant care and supervision, they are able to form close relationships with patients, which allows them to address their needs with efficiency and effectiveness.\nWith the help of Drug Treatment Centers Durham NC, the first stage of recovery at a rehab center involves a full detoxification from addictive substances. For some patients, the detox process can be an uncomfortable and even frightening experience. In these individuals, detoxification can lead to the onset of painful withdrawal symptoms, which typically include fever, chills, aches and pains, nausea, vomiting and other uncomfortable effects. Throughout this stage of recovery, caring, competent staff members are dedicated to providing quality care and constant monitoring, thus increasing patient comfort and promoting a safe and healthy detoxification.\nIn-Depth Psychological Care\nFollowing detoxification, patients begin the psychological therapy stage. Psychological treatment methods are designed to identify the underlying causes of addiction as well as treat the various effects this disease can have on mental health. The goal of these treatment sessions is to educate patients on both addiction and recovery as well as provide accountability, emotional support and more. Through various psychological approaches to addiction rehabilitation, they are able to address the contributing factors of substance abuse as well as provide patients with the tools necessary to achieve their long-term recovery goals.\nIn addition to promoting lifelong sobriety, psychological care methods provide advantages that include enhanced self-esteem, improved coping skills and effective treatment for underlying mental illnesses like depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder. In short, these techniques are designed to peel away the layers of addiction and promote better overall health and well-being.\nDespite the harmful effects of prolonged addiction, so many addicts are unwilling to seek effective treatment. At treatment centers, they understand that factors like fear, denial and shame can prevent individuals from seeking the help they need and deserve. The common goal is to eliminate the fears associated with recovery and help you take the first step to a hopeful future. If you or someone you know is facing the dangers of addiction, get help.\nCall Durham Drug Treatment Centers today at (919) 246-9976.

The adventure is very simple, with 27 rooms, and its title is irrelevant to its content.\nTom Zuchowski's short description for the upload to GEnie was:\n\"You explore a small cave. Strangely, there is no time travel or other anomaly, as suggested by the title. Probably a good pick for young people.\"\nThe adventure has no introductory text. The implied plot is that the adventurer has explored a cave and inadvertently sets off a cave-in, necessitating his or her finding an alternate means of escape.\nDespite the adventure's simplicity and brevity, Tom Zuchowski praised how the many \"special items\" found in Time-Shift were able to hold his attention and attributed his low rating of 4 of 10 primarily to the adventure's short length. This very feature, however, presumably led to his recommending Time-Shift to so-called \"Young Eamonauts.\" Additionally, Zuchowski expressed some puzzlement of the absence of any time travel plot device in the adventure itself.\nThe cave is set to the east of the Main Hall. As the cave is a short distance from the Main Hall, it is plausible that the cave is, like the Beginners Cave, one of the many set into Eamon Bluff.\nRetrieved from \"https://eamon.wiki/index.php?title=Time-Shift&oldid=9134\"\nAdventures by Corey Sena",

        "raw_content": "The Amazing Innovations That Contests Create\nThe owner of the Center Lovell Inn in Maine received more than $900,000. The new owner paid $125. How? Through a contest.\nInstead of using the traditional method of selling property through a realtor, the Center Lovell Inn was \u201csold\u201d through an essay contest. Having paid an entry fee of $125, the person who wrote a winning essay would get the inn as the prize. Meanwhile, if she had enough entrants, the inn owner could raise many hundreds of thousands of dollars. On the other hand, if the participation in the contest was too low, then the entry fees just had to be refunded.\nWhere are we going? To the creative power of crowdsourcing.\nWhat Contests Created\nFor hundreds of years, contests have stimulated innovation.\nIn 1418, the problem in Florence was a cathedral without a dome.Two hundred gold florins was the prize for anyone who figured out how to span 150 feet that were 180 feet off a ground floor that was octagonal. It worked and today we have Brunelleschi\u2019s Dome.\nIn 1714, the British Parliament said,\u201c\u2026nothing is so much wanted and desired at sea, as the discovery of the longitude, for the safety and quickness of voyages, the preservation of ships, and the lives of men\u2026\u201d Passing the Longitude Act, they offered a \u00a320,000 prize and soon had John Harrison\u2019s winning plan for a chronometer that used triangulation to determine a ship\u2019s location. I suspect that only a contest could have enticed someone like John Harrison who was clockmaker and a carpenter to share his plans for a chronometer with the government.\nIn addition we could select synthetic billiard balls, the concept of canning, and margarine from a long list of the inventions that came from contests.\nA NASA Contest\nMuch more recently, NASA used the contest approach for an outer space medical kit that offered the winners cash prizes and six VIP shuttle launch passes. Limited to 10 days, the competition attracted 439 participants and an algorithm that cut the time for \u201ckit optimization\u201d from three hours to 30 seconds. Now NASA is looking for solutions to asteroid detection, to improve communication between the earth and astronauts and to help astronauts track their nutritional intake.\nOur Bottom Line: Innovation\nBecause innovation returns us to Joseph Schumpeter\u2019s creative destruction, we need to offset the restraining influence of the status quo. One vehicle that individuals, businesses and government can use is crowdsourcing through contests that create the incentive for experimentation and multiple solutions.\nTags contests creative destruction crowdsourcing innovation intellectual property Joseph Schumpeter NASA The Wisdom of Crowds\nPrevious ArticleDeciding If We Should Be More Like Denmark\nNext ArticleWhy Currency is a Gender Issue",

With its focus on 15-year-old Angela Chase\u2019s search for her identity, MSCL\u2019s realistic representation of adolescence on TV was groundbreaking; without her there would be no Buffy or Felicity, Rory Gilmore or Veronica Mars.\nThe series\u2019 broadcast coincided with the arrival of third-wave feminism, the first feminist movement to make teen voices a priority, and Angela became their small-screen spokesperson. From her perspective, MSCL explored gender, identity, sexuality, race, class, body image, and other issues vital to the third wave (and the world).\nTo this day, passionate fans dissect everything from what Rickie Vasquez did for gay representation to what Jordan Catalano did for leaning, and Soraya Roberts makes an invaluable contribution to that conversation with In My Humble Opinion.\nSoraya Roberts still feels like a teenager even though she\u2019s, like, old. She worked as an entertainment editor from 2005 to 2011 and is now a full-time writer. She has contributed long-form culture articles to Hazlitt, Harper\u2019s, and the Los Angeles Review of Books, among other publications.

        "raw_content": "Breast Implants in the Long-Term\nDepending when you first get breast implants, your relationship with implants could be a long one. So, what does a future with breast implants look like?\nBreast implants don't typically last a lifetime, and they'll likely need replacing at some point in the future. When in the future depends on whether you need to change them due to a complication, or you wantto change them.\nAbout* (*all statistics vary!) 1 in 5 women will have a revision in the first 10 years after a breast augmentation. Otherwise, it's a myth that you have to replace breast implants every 10 years.\nThe \"change them every 10 years\" thing came from cases of implants rupturing. An implant will 'age' over time, and the risks of rupture do get greater the older it is.\nModern implants are getting more and more sophisticated and the chances of rupture (and other complications!) are getting less and less. In fact, most reputable implant manufacturers offer a lifetime guarantee to cover implant rupture that requires surgical intervention.\nMeaning, they'll replace the implant (for free) and often they provide some financial assistance towards surgery too (usually there's a around a 10-year time limit to the money bit).\nIf there is nothing wrong with your breast implants it would be a totally unnecessary surgery to change them!\nSo that \"change them every 10 years\" thing should probably be \"change them only if you have problems!\".\nWhen do I need to get new breast implants?\nThe most common reason for implant exchange in the longer term (10+ years) is change.\nA size change- bigger, smaller, or removal.\nAs you get older and your breasts head South (implants do not make you immune to gravity) an implant exchange may also be combined with a breast lift.\nTo fix something. Complications aren't fun to talk about, but they do happen and it's important to be aware!\nIf you do find yourself having a 10+ year relationship with your breast implants it's prudent to get everything checked out by a plastic surgeon, who may recommend an ultrasound and/or MRI just to check on the girls.\nBreast implants need a lifetime of care. If you're investing money and time there is no reason why you can't have a long and happy relationship with your new girls. And the key message if you find yourself having a 10+ year relationship with your implants is: you don't have to remove perfectly good implants!\nMost women are surprised to hear this during their consultation, but it's true that modern implants are designed to last a very long time. The 10-year number that many women find as they research comes from a few different things like FDA studies, but in the end, Jenny Eden is absolutely right in saying that if you're not having any issues with your implants there's no reason to change them.\nNewer PostBreast Augmentation Revision (How to Keep Cool)\nOlder PostBreast Implants and a Positive Body Relationship",

        "raw_content": "Partnering for Change During MEDITECH's Physician and CIO Forum\nMEDITECH\u2019s Physician and CIO Forum showcased how physicians, executives, and EHR vendors are improving the ways that healthcare organizations use technology to lead meaningful change and better serve patients.\nPerhaps the most important tools in today\u2019s modern medicine bag are communication and collaboration - both of which were in abundance at MEDITECH\u2019s 2018 Physician and CIO Forum. This event showcased how successful partnerships between physicians, executives, and EHR vendors are improving the ways that healthcare organizations use technology to lead meaningful change and better serve patients.\n\u201cHealthcare organizations all have different experiences and backgrounds, just like people do,\u201d said Event Moderator K. Nadeem Ahmed, MD. \u201cComing together at an event like this one, to network and learn from one another, will help all of us on our journeys.\u201d\nTaylor Davis, vice president of analysis and strategy at KLAS, stressed the importance of solid executive leadership and collaboration in motivating clinicians to adopt new technologies. He discussed his results working with the Arch Collaborative to measure physician satisfaction with their EHRs.\n\u201cWhat we found is that the EHR adoption leaders are not necessarily the large, well-known medical centers. In many cases, community hospitals are leading the way,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s because people - not the technical aspects of EHRs - are the primary drivers of success. 97% of the time, the number of \u2018clicks\u2019 is not the real problem. Two different organizations can have radically different experiences, even working with the same system. You just need a solid EHR and quality training with a tailored approach.\u201d\nDavis also said that his research found no correlation between EHR costs and overall satisfaction. \u201cThere\u2019s a good chance that spending more on your EHR will not result in better physician satisfaction. But a sense of teamwork and trust will.\u201d\nKeynote speaker Ted James, MD, MHCM, FACS, Clinical Chief, Medical Director and Professor of Surgery, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, told attendees that strong partnerships with patients is another important way to leverage the benefits of healthcare IT. With patient portals and telehealth, patients can be more proactive with managing their health on a daily basis. However, physicians must still support them along the way.\n\u201cUninformed, disengaged patients often delay care to the point where it becomes more expensive and less effective. That\u2019s why patient engagement is the blockbuster drug of the century,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need to be transparent and communicate regularly, to get patients onboard with us. People are very unlikely to make changes to their health habits, unless they understand why these changes are necessary. Physicians need to influence those changes and involve patients more in their own care, if we want to see better outcomes.\u201d\nAs we head toward 2019, there are many more challenges for us to tackle together. We\u2019re looking forward to discussing them with you again, at our events next year. In the meantime, check out this video from the 2018 Physician and CIO Forum.",

There is no word in the English language to describe such behavior, and that is what led him to coin the term antifragile.\nNature is an excellent example of an antifragile system: whenever subjected to a cataclysmic event (like this one that occurred ~66 million years ago), nature manages not only to recover, but does so in novel and arguably better ways. Unlike nature, however, most human-made systems tend to be fragile. An example that Taleb highlights is the global financial system , not just prior to the 2008 financial crisis but even now.\nThe broader lesson to be learnt from the financial crisis is that it is impossible to predict the future in any detail. Systems should therefore be designed to cope with (if not take advantage of) the irreducible uncertainty associated with this lack of predictability. Human-made systems that overlook this inescapable fact tend to be brittle by design.\nThe above is true not only of systems, but also of future-directed activities such as strategic planning. Overlooking the role of irreducible uncertainty in planning invariably locks an organization into an inflexible course of action. Unfortunately, this is not always appreciated by those who run organisations. As Taleb puts it:\nCorporations are in love with the idea of the strategic plan. They need to pay to figure out where they are going. Yet there is no evidence that strategic planning works \u2014we even seem to have evidence against it. A management scholar, William Starbuck, has published a few papers debunking the effectiveness of planning [see this paper, for example]\u2014it makes the corporation option-blind, as it gets locked into a non-opportunistic course of action.\nThe trick, as Taleb hints in the above passage (and elaborates on in his book), is to plan in such a way as to take advantage of options that we are unaware of now, but might emerge in the future.\nThat, of course, is easier said than done.\nIn this post, I draw on Taleb\u2019s book and my own experiences to discuss how one can formulate an IT strategy that thrives on uncertainty. Although my focus is primarily on IT, the points discussed have a wider applicability to strategic planning in general.\nBefore we get into antifragility, it is useful to take a brief look at how IT strategy is usually formulated.\nAlthough some IT leaders will contest this point, a good majority of organisations tend to view IT as a cost rather than a strategic focus area. As a consequence, the objectives of an IT strategy are generally geared towards cost reduction and increased efficiency. The obvious ways in which to do this are through strict governance, standardization and/or outsourcing. Unfortunately, these actions tend to make organisations less flexible and hence more susceptible to uncertainty\u2026and thus more fragile.\nSo, the key to an antifragile strategy is flexibility\u2026but what exactly is flexibility?\nThe best definition of flexibility I have come across is the one proposed by Gregory Bateson who defined it as uncommitted potential for change (see this post for more on Bateson\u2019s definition of flexibility). Only if one is flexible in this sense can one take advantage of unexpected events when they occur. The problem of formulating an antifragile IT (or any other!) strategy thus boils down to finding ways in which one can increase one\u2019s flexibility. With that in mind, here are some suggestions.\nThis one is going to raise some eyebrows because the general trend in the world of corporate IT is to move in exactly the opposite direction \u2013 i.e. towards greater centralisation. The drive to centralisation manifests itself in many different ways: from top-down decision-making to the deployment of standardized processes and pan-organisational \u201centerprise\u201d applications (single instance ERP systems being an extreme example).\nThe justification offered by advocates of centralisation is that it increases efficiency and reduces cost by using a one-size-fits-all approach. In reality, however, such an approach almost always has undesirable features. For example:\nIt overlooks the unique features of different structural units of the organization (subsidiaries in different countries, for example). Indeed, this is precisely at platform standardization fail \u2013 see my post entitled, The ERP paradox for more on this point.\nIt increases coupling between different structural units. Since systems and processes have a global reach, an unexpected glitch in any of these will affect all structural units within the organization.\nDecentralisation basically amounts to giving structural units the autonomy they need in order to make decisions and choices that affect them. To be sure, this must be balanced with some oversight and direction from a central authority, but the overall aim should be a federal structure rather than a centralized one. A few examples of things that can be controlled centrally include network infrastructure, security\u2026and possibly even things such as preferred vendors, especially from the perspective of getting volume discounts on pricing. There is no black and white here: choices need to be made judiciously and revisited if they don\u2019t work.\nI use the term agile here in the sense of adaptability rather than as a reference to the slew of methodologies that go under the banner of Agile. Indeed, agility in the sense I use it here is more about a mindset than a methodology: if you are adapting to a shifting environment by changing your approach and priorities appropriately, then you are being agile in the sense of adaptability.\nSo, what does agility entail? Here are some things I see as being important:\nResponding to changes within and outside the organization\u2026but only after determining that they need to be responded to. The qualifier is important: one must be able to distinguish between changes that merit a response and those that don\u2019t. Moreover, any change should be instituted in a gradual or incremental fashion so that one can adjust one\u2019s approach and take corrective actions if needed. Agility does not imply rapid, large-scale change.\nSensing (or even creating!) new opportunities and taking advantage of them. The term intrapreneurial is often used to describe such a mindset. Many IT leaders are aware of the need to do this, but don\u2019t always know how. In my experience, instituting a dedicated innovation group isn\u2019t the best way to go about it. Instead, it may be better to focus on creating an environment in which people feel inspired to try new things. One of the ways to do this is to actively encourage staff to learn by experimenting on company time \u2013 say, one Friday afternoon per month \u2013 with no expectation of useful outcomes.\nBuilding flexibility into your external contracts so that you can respond to changes that weren\u2019t foreseen when the contract was drawn up. Essentially this amounts to building a trust-based relationship with your vendors (see the last point in the present post for more on this) and factoring in transaction costs in your outsourcing deals.\nAn agile mindset is unlikely to thrive in an IT department that is bogged down by overly onerous rules and procedures. To be sure, rules and processes are necessary, but not at the expense of flexibility.\nOne of the keys to being antifragile in financial investing is to spread one\u2019s investments over a range of different products. In analogy, one of the best ways towards developing an antifragile IT strategy is to diversify elements of your IT environment, especially those things that are likely to be negatively affected by uncertainty.\nFor coverage in times of trouble, ensure that your team consists of people with overlapping sets of skills. This should be reinforced by periodic cross-training of staff in all key technologies that are used within your organisation.\nHire people with different thinking styles. Your teams should contain a mix of people with analytic and synthetic approaches to problem solving. Most uncertain situations require both types of approaches.\nDiversify your vendor base. Among other things this means do not\u2026and I repeat, do not\u2026tie yourself to a single vendor by signing a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract!\nSet up small, low-cost skunkworks projects to explore technologies and ideas that have the potential to provide your business an edge.\nSeek to understand diverse viewpoints. Any important decision should be made only after soliciting and understanding viewpoints that are different from yours. Such an understanding will lead to better decisions than those made by relying on gut instinct or advice from a single source.\n\u2026and I\u2019m sure there are many other possibilities.\nCreating an environment of trust\nI kept this for the last because it is possibly the hardest to put into practice. An antifragile IT strategy will only work if there is a mutual trust between all parties involved in a business relationship \u2013 be they managers and employees or IT folks and the businesses they serve. Although much has been written and spoken about trust, the fact is that it is conspicuous by its absence in the present day corporate world. Indeed, use of the word in corporate circles tends to evoke cynical reactions from the rank and file; it is seen as platitude rather than a word of significance.\nElinor Ostrom\u2019s prize winning work established that trust is one of the core relationships that promote cooperation (see this post for more on this point). In situations of uncertainty, those who work in a high-trust environment would generally be willing to step outside their regular roles and work with others to fix the problem. In contrast those in a low-trust environment are likely to switch off or worse, start apportioning blame. On another note, people are more likely to share their ideas in a high-trust environment rather than in one that is riven by mistrust and unhealthy competition. I\u2019m pretty sure that most readers would have experience of low-trust environments and would know from experience that such work environments are fragile in that they simply fall apart under stress.\nIt should be noted that that trust is also important in external relationships, such as those with vendors. Although purchasing and legal departments are quick to advise us about the importance of rock-solid contracts, in my experience it is far better to rely on trust. Indeed, it has been suggested that contracts can destroy trust!\nFinally, just in case it is not clear: the onus for creating an environment of trust lies with management rather than the rank and file.\nI offer the above as some suggestions aimed at making your IT environment less susceptible, even responsive, to unexpected external or internal events. Indeed, I believe that in times of uncertainty, they are likely to work much better than some of the well-worn but discredited command and control approaches that are inexplicably popular.\nTo sum up: IT strategies are invariably focused on improving efficiency and reducing cost. Typical measures to achieve this tend to reduce flexibility (tighter governance and outsourcing, for example). As a result most IT strategies are unable to deal with, let alone benefit from uncertainty. In this post I have outlined key elements of an antifragile IT strategy that can correct this oversight.\nWhen I reviewed this piece just prior to posting it, I was struck by the fact that the points I have mentioned have more to do with social or ethical matters than technology. This reminded me of Heinz von Foerster\u2019s ethical imperative:\n\u201cAct always so as to increase the number of choices.\u201d\nAnd that, quite possibly, is the perfect one-line summary of an antifragile strategy.\nPosted in Corporate IT, Emergent Design, IT Management, Organizations\nTagged with IT Strategy",

        "raw_content": "Black, Brown, and e-Reader All Over: E-ink Screens for eLearning Applications\nEven staunch defenders of the traditional book are starting to see the merits of the e-ink reader: Pew Research estimates that 32 percent of American adults own one. And while they might seem overly simplistic, e-readers definitely have their place on the nightstand and perhaps even in eLearning applications.\nBefore dismissing the e-ink reader as too basic for your multimedia modules, remember that readers love choice. Offering the ability to access material on a second screen might be super-economical and result in some very happy learners.\nChances are that you watch TV with a smartphone or tablet in-hand; Nielsen estimates that a whopping 84 percent of smartphone and tablet users surf, buy, and socialize while in front of the TV. It\u2019s a phenomenon called \u201csecond screen usage,\u201d which is essentially the propensity to use more than one screened device at a time.\nAnd why not? With a tablet in hand, you could shop products, tweet about plot twists, and use IMDB to figure out where you\u2019ve seen that guy playing a corpse on CSI before. Using a second screen satisfies a natural human hunger for in-the-moment knowledge and something to do during commercial breaks.\nNow, contrast that behavior to someone using a tablet, laptop, or smartphone to access a learning module. As part of the module, the learner should read a study or page through a manual. While it could be done on an LCD screen, reading on a screen not really meant for that can be tiring and frustrating, particularly if there\u2019s a lot of material to go through.\nAdding the ability to access manuals, policies, studies, and other text-heavy documents via e-reader means using a second screen to give your learner more choices. It also means extending your reach, since e-readers are far more appropriate for outdoor and even bedtime reading, whereas a smartphone might be abandoned during those times.\nHey, it\u2019s not perfect: e-readers can be simplistic and don\u2019t work well for anything but, well, reading. Still, they might have a place within your strategy if you think beyond the screen.\nWhen E-Readers Work:\nWhen a document is text-heavy.\nWhen you need supporting material to a lighter module.\nWhen training materials require a large amount of screen time.\nWhen downloading a text-heavy file would require buffering and bandwidth on smartphones.\nWhen E-Readers Don\u2019t Work:\nAs a primary screen (they should only ever be used as second or supporting device).\nWhen a module relies on graphics and media to engage users.\nWhen a learning module requires a high degree of interaction (e-readers may have touch screen capacity, but are nowhere near as sophisticated as tablets and smartphones).\nWhen learning must be adaptable to the user.\nOn the bright side, producing an e-reader version of a case study or manual is extremely low-cost, so it\u2019s not a big deal to add the capacity for a low tech screen to your existing learning materials. Just keep in mind that e-readers are ideal as second screens, but aren\u2019t stellar for standalone learning strategy.\nAs it turns out, the argument for e-readers and eLearning applications may not be as black and white as it seems.",

        "raw_content": "For the Canadian civil rights case, see Roseland Theatre (Nova Scotia).\nThe Roseland Theater, sometimes called the Roseland Theater and Grill,[1][2] is a music venue located at 8 Northwest Sixth Avenue in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, in the United States.[3] The building was originally a church, constructed by the Apostolic Faith Church in 1922. In 1982, Larry Hurwitz converted the building to a music venue called Starry Night. In 1990, the club's 21-year-old publicity agent was murdered in one of the theater's hallways; Hurwitz was convicted for this murder ten years later. Hurwitz sold the club in 1991, claiming he had lost support from the local music industry. The venue was given its current name during the 1991 ownership transfer. During the 1990s, Double Tee acquired control of the hall's operations, then purchased and renovated the building.\nStarry Night (1982\u20131991)\nThe music venue in 2014\n8 Northwest 6th Avenue\n45\u00b031\u203224\u2033N 122\u00b040\u203234\u2033W\ufeff / \ufeff45.5233\u00b0N 122.67615\u00b0W\ufeff / 45.5233; -122.67615Coordinates: 45\u00b031\u203224\u2033N 122\u00b040\u203234\u2033W\ufeff / \ufeff45.5233\u00b0N 122.67615\u00b0W\ufeff / 45.5233; -122.67615\nLarry Hurwitz (1982\u20131991), Oregon Theater Management (1991\u20131996), David Leiken / Double Tee (1996\u2013present)\nroselandpdx.com\nThe theater features a standing-only main floor and an upstairs balcony with an adjacent bar. Peter's Room, an intimate showcase venue with a 400-person capacity, includes a restaurant and bar. Roseland has been named \"Best Haunted Venue\" by one local publication, referring to the 1991 murder. The venue is known for hosting a variety of music acts and for its good acoustics.\nApostolic Faith ChurchEdit\nThe Apostolic Faith Church bought the property at 8 Northwest Sixth Avenue from the A. Meier estate in 1922 and immediately began constructing a two-story building at the site.[4] To make way for the new structure, church members first razed an older building that had housed a saloon at that address.[5] The new building was finished in August 1922.[6]\nMade of brick and constructed entirely with donated labor, the structure had a footprint of 100 by 100 feet (30 by 30 m) next to a 60-by-100-foot (18 by 30 m) parking lot.[6] The lower floor contained 11 storerooms, some of which were rented to others, a printing room, the church headquarters, and a small chapel with a seating capacity of 200.[4][6] The upper floor consisted of a large meeting hall that could seat 1,150 people.[4][6] The meeting hall was designed partly with music in mind. Its raised platform held up to 70 people, including a 40-piece orchestra and male and mixed quartets that performed during church services.[7] The church sold the building in 1981.[8] A neon sign reading \"Jesus, the Light of the World\", hung on the building but was removed in 1981.[8]\nStarry NightEdit\nLarry Hurwitz owned and operated the Starry Night nightclub in the building from 1982 through 1991.[9] The venue had a capacity of less than 1,000 people.[10] In the 1980s, the Starry Night hosted musical acts including Animotion, Nu Shooz,[10] and the Crazy 8s.[11] Hurwitz sold the Starry Night in February 1991, claiming he had \"lost the support of the local music industry\".[10][12] The transfer in ownership resulted in a name change to Roseland Theater. In 1992, Roseland's manager for the new owners, Oregon Theater Management, said the name was changed to disassociate from Hurwitz's business and reputation.[12]\nMurder of Starry Night employeeEdit\nIn 2000, Hurwitz was convicted of the murder 10 years earlier of the Starry Night's 21-year-old publicity agent, Timothy Moreau, to keep Moreau from alerting authorities to a counterfeit ticket scam at the club.[13] Another club employee, George Castagnola, pleaded guilty to helping Hurwitz kill Moreau.[14] Moreau was strangled in the theater after a John Lee Hooker concert.[10] After selling the club, Hurwitz moved to Vietnam,[14] but in 1997 a federal grand jury indicted him on charges of tax evasion related to the scam.[15][16][17] Extradited to the United States and pleading guilty to the tax evasion charges, he was sentenced to a year in federal prison.[14][18] Publicity generated by the tax-evasion trial led to new information about the murder.[18] Hurwitz was sentenced to 11 years in prison after pleading no contest to one count of murder in 2000, and released in 2008 after serving between 7 and 8 years.[14] Meanwhile, to settle a civil wrongful-death suit filed against him by Moreau's parents, Hurwitz in 2001 stipulated to his part in the murder, agreed that a jury would have found him guilty if he had not pleaded \"no contest\", and agreed to pay the Moreau family US$3 million in damages.[19] The details of the case were reported in a 23-part series in the newspaper PDXS during the 1990s.[20]\nRoseland TheaterEdit\nMarquee at the intersection of Northwest Sixth Avenue and West Burnside Street in 2014\nIn 1991, Double Tee Promotions acquired control of Roseland's operations. In December 1995, The Oregonian reported that the company and its president, David Leiken,[21][22] would be purchasing and renovating the building over several months.[23] Leiken founded Double Tee, which produces events throughout the Pacific Northwest and continues to manage Roseland, in 1972.[24] The project, which included purchase of the building, new lounges and restrooms, and a ventilation system, was estimated to cost between $1.75 million and $2 million. The size of the street-level floor would also increased to accommodate an additional 350\u2013440 guests, replacing a small club called the Garden.[23] The renovation project ended in 1997; Leiken updated the building's facade and opened a nightclub and sports bar on the lower level.[21] Roseland remained open during the renovation, which reportedly cost around $2.5 million.[21]\nTheatre signage in 2014\nRoseland Theater has been called a \"somewhat chaotic\"[25] Portland staple, hosting \"multi-generational concerts every night of the week by everyone from small local bands to huge national icons\".[3] The all-ages venue is known for its smaller size, accommodating up to 1,400 people. It is a popular venue for touring rock acts, though it also hosts blues,[26] comedy, dance,[1] hip hop, indie, and rap artists.[2][3] Performers have included Ray Charles,[21] the Dan Reed Network,[27] Bob Dylan, Medeski Martin & Wood,[28] Miles Davis, the Misfits,[28] the Pixies,[29] Bonnie Raitt, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.[3][21] During the 1990s, Phish performed at the venue four times, including once when it was still called Starry Night.[28][30] In the 2010s, the venue has hosted Cut Copy,[31] Metric,[32] Prince,[33] and Snoop Dogg.[3][34]\nRoseland features a standing-only main floor and an upstairs balcony for patrons aged 21 or older because of an adjacent bar,[26] and can also host a variety of events, including cage fighting.[3] Downstairs includes Roseland Grill, a narrow bar with a wall covered in posters.[1] Peter's Room, an intimate showcase venue, includes a restaurant and bar and has a capacity of 400 people.[24][35] Peter's Room is open during all Roseland events and streams activity from the theater's main stage on screens.[35] The 16-by-20-foot (5 by 6 m) stage in Peter's Room is 4 feet (1.2 m) above the main floor.[36] According to Double Tee, the theater and Peter's Room host between 150 and 180 events annually.[24]\nIn 2008, Willamette Week named Roseland the \"Best Haunted Venue\" in a retrospective \"Best of Portland\" list highlighting the best of 1988.[10] Music journalist Martin Acaster wrote: \"The Roseland has all the ambiance of a dank cave but boasts stellar acoustics.\"[28] Travelogue writer Rachel Dresbeck noted the \"eclectic mix\" of music genres hosted by the venue, which she said has \"great sound\" and \"good stage visibility\".[1][25]\nMusic of Oregon\nReportedly haunted locations in Oregon\nStar Theater (Portland, Oregon), another music venue located across the street\n^ a b c d Dresbeck, Rachel (January 13, 2009).

It is not to be confused with PDAS.\nNot to be confused with Virtual assistant (artificial intelligence).\nFind sources: \"Personal digital assistant\" \u2013 news \u00b7 newspapers \u00b7 books \u00b7 scholar \u00b7 JSTOR (November 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)\nThe Palm TX\nApple Newton MessagePad (1993) \u2013 Computer History Museum\nA personal digital assistant (PDA), also known as a handheld PC,[1][2] is a variety mobile device which functions as a personal information manager. PDAs were largely discontinued in the early 2010s after the widespread adoption of highly capable smartphones, in particular those based on iOS and Android.[3]\nNearly all PDAs have the ability to connect to the Internet. A PDA has an electronic visual display, letting it include a web browser. Most models also have audio capabilities, allowing usage as a portable media player, and also enabling most of them to be used as telephones. Most PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi or Wireless Wide Area Networks. Sometimes, instead of buttons, PDAs employ touchscreen technology. The technology industry has recently recycled the term personal digital assistance. The term is more commonly used for software that identifies a user's voice to reply to the queries.\nThe first PDA, the Organizer, was released in 1984 by Psion, followed by Psion's Series 3, in 1991. The latter began to resemble the more familiar PDA style, including a full keyboard.[4][5] The term PDA was first used on January 7, 1992 by Apple Computer CEO John Sculley at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, referring to the Apple Newton.[6] In 1994, IBM introduced the first PDA with full telephone functionality, the IBM Simon, which can also be considered the first smartphone. Then in 1996, Nokia introduced a PDA with telephone functionality, the 9000 Communicator, which became the world's best-selling PDA. Another early entrant in this market was Palm, with a line of PDA products which began in March 1996.\n1 Typical features\n1.3 Wired connectivity\n1.4 Wireless connectivity\n1.5.1 Wireless synchronization\n2 Operating systems of PDAs\n3 Automobile navigation\n4 Ruggedized\n5 Medical and scientific uses\n6 Educational uses\n6.1 Recreational uses\n7.2 Ruggedized\nTypical features[edit]\nA typical PDA has a touchscreen for navigation, a memory card slot for data storage, and IrDA, Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi. However, some PDAs may not have a touchscreen, using softkeys, a directional pad, and a numeric keypad or a thumb keyboard for input. To have the functions expected of a PDA, a device's software typically includes an appointment calendar, a to-do list, an address book for contacts, a calculator, and some sort of memo (or \"note\") program. PDAs with wireless data connections also typically include an email client and a Web browser, and may or may not include telephony functionality.\nTouchscreen[edit]\nPalmPilot organiser on display at the Mus\u00e9e Bolo, EPFL, Lausanne\nMany of the original PDAs, such as the Apple Newton and Palm Pilot, featured a touchscreen for user interaction, having only a few buttons\u2014usually reserved for shortcuts to often-used programs. Some touchscreen PDAs, including Windows Mobile devices, had a detachable stylus to facilitate making selections. The user interacts with the device by tapping the screen to select buttons or issue commands, or by dragging a finger (or the stylus) on the screen to make selections or scroll.\nTypical methods of entering text on touchscreen PDAs include:\nA virtual keyboard, where a keyboard is shown on the touchscreen. Text is entered by tapping the on-screen keyboard with a finger or stylus.\nAn external keyboard connected via USB, Infrared port, or Bluetooth. Some users may choose a chorded keyboard for one-handed use.\nHandwriting recognition, where letters or words are written on the touchscreen, often with a stylus, and the PDA converts the input to text. Recognition and computation of handwritten horizontal and vertical formulas, such as \"1 + 2 =\", may also be a feature.\nStroke recognition allows the user to make a predefined set of strokes on the touchscreen, sometimes in a special input area, representing the various characters to be input. The strokes are often simplified character shapes, making them easier for the device to recognize. One widely known stroke recognition system is Palm's Graffiti.\nDespite research and development projects, end-users experience mixed results with handwriting recognition systems. Some find it frustrating and inaccurate, while others are satisfied with the quality of the recognition.[7]\nTouchscreen PDAs intended for business use, such as the BlackBerry and Palm Treo, usually also offer full keyboards and scroll wheels or thumbwheels to facilitate data entry and navigation. Many touchscreen PDAs support some form of external keyboard as well. Specialized folding keyboards, which offer a full-sized keyboard but collapse into a compact size for transport, are available for many models. External keyboards may attach to the PDA directly, using a cable, or may use wireless technology such as infrared or Bluetooth to connect to the PDA. Newer PDAs, such as the HTC HD2, Apple iPhone, Apple iPod Touch, and Palm Pre, Palm Pre Plus, Palm Pixi, Palm Pixi Plus, Google Android (operating system) include more advanced forms of touchscreen that can register multiple touches simultaneously. These \"multi-touch\" displays allow for more sophisticated interfaces using various gestures entered with one or more fingers.\nMemory cards[edit]\nAlthough many early PDAs did not have memory card slots, now most have either some form of Secure Digital (SD) slot, a CompactFlash slot or a combination of the two. Although designed for memory, Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO) and CompactFlash cards are available that provide accessories like Wi-Fi or digital cameras, if the device can support them. Some PDAs also have a USB port, mainly for USB flash drives.[dubious \u2013 discuss] Some PDAs use microSD cards, which are electronically compatible with SD cards, but have a much smaller physical size.\nWired connectivity[edit]\nWhile early PDAs connected to a user's personal computer via serial ports or another proprietary connection,[specify] many today connect via a USB cable. Older PDAs were unable to connect to each other via USB, as their implementations of USB didn't support acting as the \"host\". Some early PDAs were able to connect to the Internet indirectly by means of an external modem connected via the PDA's serial port or \"sync\" connector,[8] or directly by using an expansion card that provided an Ethernet port.\nWireless connectivity[edit]\nMost modern PDAs have Bluetooth, a popular wireless protocol for mobile devices. Bluetooth can be used to connect keyboards, headsets, GPS receivers, and other nearby accessories. It's also possible to transfer files between PDAs that have Bluetooth. Many modern PDAs have Wi-Fi wireless network connectivity and can connect to Wi-Fi hotspots.[9] All smartphones, and some other modern PDAs, can connect to Wireless Wide Area Networks, such as those provided by cellular telecommunications companies. Older PDAs from the 1990s to 2006 typically had an IrDA (infrared) port allowing short-range, line-of-sight wireless communication. Few current models use this technology, as it has been supplanted by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. IrDA allows communication between two PDAs, or between a PDA and any device with an IrDA port or adapter. Some printers have IrDA receivers,[10] allowing IrDA-equipped PDAs to print to them, if the PDA's operating system supports it. Universal PDA keyboards designed for these older PDAs use infrared technology.[citation needed] Infrared technology is low-cost and has the advantage of being allowed aboard.\nMost PDAs can synchronize their data with applications on a user's computer. This allows the user to update contact, schedule, or other information on their computer, using software such as Microsoft Outlook or ACT!, and have that same data transferred to PDA\u2014or transfer updated information from the PDA back to the computer. This eliminates the need for the user to update their data in two places. Synchronization also prevents the loss of information stored on the device if it is lost, stolen, or destroyed. When the PDA is repaired or replaced, it can be \"re-synced\" with the computer, restoring the user's data. Some users find that data input is quicker on their computer than on their PDA, since text input via a touchscreen or small-scale keyboard is slower than a full-size keyboard. Transferring data to a PDA via the computer is therefore a lot quicker than having to manually input all data on the handheld device.[citation needed]\nMost PDAs come with the ability to synchronize to a computer. This is done through synchronization software provided with the handheld, or sometime with the computer's operating system. Examples of synchronization software include:\nHotSync Manager, for Palm OS PDAs\nMicrosoft ActiveSync, used by Windows XP and older Windows operating systems to synchronize with Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, and Windows CE PDAs, as well as PDAs running iOS, Palm OS, and Symbian\nMicrosoft Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows Vista, which supports Microsoft Windows Mobile and Pocket PC devices\nApple iTunes, used on Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows to sync iOS devices (such as the iPhone and iPod touch)\niSync, included with Mac OS X, can synchronize many SyncML-enabled PDAs\nBlackBerry Desktop Software, used to sync BlackBerry devices.\nThese programs allow the PDA to be synchronized with a personal information manager, which may be part of the computer's operating system, provided with the PDA, or sold separately by a third party. For example, the RIM BlackBerry comes with RIM's Desktop Manager program, which can synchronize to both Microsoft Outlook and ACT!. Other PDAs come only with their own proprietary software. For example, some early Palm OS PDAs came only with Palm Desktop, while later Palm PDAs\u2014such as the Treo 650\u2014have the ability to sync to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft's ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center only synchronize with Microsoft Outlook or a Microsoft Exchange server.[citation needed] Third-party synchronization software is also available for some PDAs from companies like CommonTime[11] and CompanionLink.[12] Third-party software can be used to synchronize PDAs to other personal information managers that are not supported by the PDA manufacturers (for example, GoldMine and IBM Lotus Notes).\nWireless synchronization[edit]\nSome PDAs can synchronize some or all of their data using their wireless networking capabilities, rather than having to be directly connected to a personal computer via a cable. Devices running Palm's webOS or Google's Android operating system primarily sync with the cloud. For example, if Gmail is used, information in contacts, email, and calendar can be synchronized between the PDA and Google's servers. RIM sells BlackBerry Enterprise Server to corporations so that corporate BlackBerry users can wirelessly synchronize their PDAs with the company's Microsoft Exchange Server, IBM Lotus Domino, or Novell GroupWise servers.[13] Email, calendar entries, contacts, tasks, and memos kept on the company's server are automatically synchronized with the BlackBerry.[14]\nOperating systems of PDAs[edit]\nThe most common operating systems pre-installed on PDAs are:\nMicrosoft Windows Mobile (Pocket PC) with a Windows CE kernel\nOther, rarely used operating systems:\nEPOC, then Symbian OS (in mobile phone + PDA combos)\nLinux (e.g. VR3, iPAQ,[15] Sharp Zaurus PDA, Opie, GPE, Familiar Linux[16] etc.)\nQNX (also on iPAQ)\nAutomobile navigation[edit]\nSome PDAs include Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; this is particularly true of smartphones. Other PDAs are compatible with external GPS-receiver add-ons that use the PDA's processor and screen to display location information.[17] PDAs with GPS functionality can be used for automotive navigation. PDAs are increasingly being fitted as standard on new cars. PDA-based GPS can also display traffic conditions, perform dynamic routing, and show known locations of roadside mobile radar guns. TomTom, Garmin, and iGO offer GPS navigation software for PDAs.\nRuggedized[edit]\nSome businesses and government organizations rely upon rugged PDAs, sometimes known as enterprise digital assistants (EDAs) or mobile computers, for mobile data applications. These PDAs have features that make them more robust and able to handle inclement weather, jolts and moisture. EDAs often have extra features for data capture, such as barcode readers, radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers, magnetic stripe card readers, or smart card readers. These features are designed to facilitate the use of these devices to scan in product or item codes.\nCapital asset maintenance\nInfection control audit and surveillance within healthcare environments\nMedical treatment and recordkeeping in hospitals\nMeter reading by utilities\nSupply chain management in warehouses\nTaxicab allocation and routing\nWaiter and waitress applications in restaurants and hospitality venues\nMedical and scientific uses[edit]\nFind sources: \"Personal digital assistant\" \u2013 news \u00b7 newspapers \u00b7 books \u00b7 scholar \u00b7 JSTOR (August 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)\nMany companies have developed PDA products aimed at the medical professions, such as PDAs loaded with drug databases, treatment information, and medical information. Services such as AvantGo translate medical journals into PDA-readable formats. WardWatch organizes medical records, providing reminders of information such as the treatment regimens of patients to doctors making ward rounds. Pendragon and Syware provide tools for conducting research with, allowing the user to enter data into a centralized database using their PDA. Microsoft Visual Studio and Sun Java also provide programming tools for developing survey instruments on the handheld. These development tools allow for integration with SQL databases that are stored on the handheld and can be synchronized with a desktop- or server-based database. PDAs have been used by doctors to aid diagnosis and drug selection and some studies[who?] have concluded that when patients can use PDAs to record their symptoms, they communicate more effectively with hospital staff during follow-up visits. The development of Sensor Web technology may lead to wearable bodily sensors to monitor ongoing conditions, like diabetes or epilepsy, which would alert patients and doctors when treatment is required using wireless communication and PDAs.\nEducational uses[edit]\nPDAs and handheld devices are allowed in many classrooms for digital note-taking. Students can spell-check, modify, and amend their class notes on a PDA. Some educators[who?] distribute course material through the Internet or infrared file-sharing functions of the PDA. Textbook publishers have begun to release e-books, which can be uploaded directly to a PDA, reducing the number of textbooks students must carry.[18] Brighton and SUSSEX Medical School in the UK was the first medical school to provide wide scale use of PDAs to its undergraduate students. The learning opportunities provided by having PDAs complete with a suite of key medical texts was studied with results showing that learning occurred in context with timely access to key facts and through consolidation of knowledge via repetition. The PDA was an important addition to the learning ecology rather than a replacement.[19] Software companies have developed PDA programs to meet the instructional needs of educational institutions, such as dictionaries, thesauri, word processing software, encyclopedias, webinar and digital lesson planners.\nPDAs may be used by music enthusiasts to play a variety of music file formats. Many PDAs include the functionality of an MP3 player. Road rally enthusiasts can use PDAs to calculate distance, speed, and time. This information may be used for navigation, or the PDA's GPS functions can be used for navigation. Underwater divers can use PDAs to plan breathing gas mixtures and decompression schedules using software such as \"V-Planner\".\nAcer N Series\nFujitsu Siemens Computers Pocket LOOX\nGMate Yopy\nHandspring (company)\nHTC (Dopod, Qtek)'s series of Windows Mobile PDAs/phones\nHP Jornada Pocket PC\nOsaris running EPOC OS distributed by Oregon Scientific\nPalm (PDA) (Tungsten E2, TX, Treo, Zire Handheld)\nPalm, Inc. smartphones under Palm OS and under the successor WebOS (Pre, and Pixi).\nCasio Pocket Viewer\nPocketMail (email PDA with built-in acoustic coupler)\nRoland PMA-5 (Personal Music Assistant)[20]\nRoyal (ezVue 7, etc.)\nSharp Wizard and Sharp Zaurus\nSony Magic Link with the Magic Cap operating system\nAbacus PDA Watch\nAmerican Industrial Systems (Mil-Spec, IP67)\nCatchwell[22]\nHoneywell (Hand Held Products)\nM3 Mobile[23]\nMotorola (Symbol Technologies)\nSkeye (Hoeft & Wessel AG)\nTwo Technologies, Inc.[24] (Ultra Rugged Handheld Computers)\nUnitech[25]\nGraffiti (Palm OS)\nPen computing\nPersonal navigation assistant (PNA)\nPocket-sized computing device\n^ Viken, Alexander (April 10, 2009). \"The History of Personal Digital Assistants 1980 \u2013 2000\".

        "raw_content": "At Vancouver Aquarium\nA. oratrix\n(Ridgway, 1887)\nAmazona ochrocephala oratrix\nThe yellow-headed amazon (Amazona oratrix), also known as the yellow-headed parrot and double yellow-headed amazon, is an endangered amazon parrot of Mexico and northern Central America. Measuring 38\u201343 centimetres (15\u201317 in) in length, it is a stocky short-tailed green parrot with a yellow head. It prefers to live in mangrove forests or forests near rivers or other bodies of water. It is sometimes considered a subspecies of the yellow-crowned amazon. It is a popular pet and an excellent talker.\n5 As pets\nTres Mar\u00edas amazon at Cougar Mountain Zoological Park, United States\nThis species is part of the Amazona ochrocephala complex, which also includes the yellow-naped amazon (A. auropalliata). This complex, \"a taxonomic headache\",[2] is considered a single species by some authorities and split into three species by others. The split is mainly based on the amount of yellow in the plumage, the color of the legs and bill, the proximity of A. oratrix and A. auropalliata in Oaxaca, Mexico, without apparent interbreeding,[3] and the presence of both A. ochrocephala and A. auropalliata in northern Honduras.[4] This evaluation has, however, been confused by misunderstandings regarding the plumage variations in the populations in northern Honduras, where birds vary greatly in amount of yellow on the head, crown and nape, but have pale bills and a juvenile plumage matching A. oratrix, but neither A. ochrocephala nor A. auropalliata.[2][5] In 1997, the population from the Sula Valley in northern Honduras was described as a new subspecies, hondurensis, of A. oratrix.[6] A. auropalliata caribaea on the Islas de la Bah\u00eda, which is relatively close to the recently described A. oratrix hondurensis, may have a relatively pale lower mandible, indicating that gene flow may occur between the two.[7] If confirmed, this could suggest that the two are better considered conspecific. Alternatively, it has been suggested that caribaea and parvipes, both typically considered subspecies of A. auropalliata, may be closer to A. oratrix than they are to the nominate A. auropalliata. Both are relatively small and have red on the shoulder like A. oratrix, but unlike nominate A. auropalliata.[2][5] The members of this complex are known to hybridize in captivity,[2] and recent phylogenetic analysis of DNA did not support the split into the three \"traditional\" biological species, but did reveal three clades, which potentially could be split into three phylogenetic species: a Mexican and Central American species (including panamensis, which extends slightly into South America), a species of northern South America, and a species from the southern Amazon Basin. The Central American clade can potentially be split further, with panamensis (Panama amazon) and tresmariae (Tres Mar\u00edas amazon) recognized as two monotypic species.[8][9][10]\nAccording to the traditional split, A. oratrix includes the taxa tresmariae (from Tres Mar\u00edas Islands), belizensis (from Belize) and hondurensis (from Sula Valley, Honduras) as subspecies.[11] An additional subspecies, magna, has sometimes been recognized for the population on the Gulf slope of Mexico, but today most authorities consider it invalid, instead including this population in oratrix, which also occurs on the Pacific slope of Mexico.[2][11][12] In contrast, the population in north-western Honduras and adjacent eastern Guatemala (near Puerto Barrios), which resembles A. oratrix belizensis and commonly is included in that subspecies, may represent an undescribed subspecies. It has sometimes been referred to as guatemalensis,[11] but until this population is officially described, the name remains provisional.\nThe origin of the common epithet \"double yellow-headed\" is that this species is differentiated from the others in the yellow-headed amazon complex by possessing both the yellow nape and yellow crown of its two close relatives, hence a \"double-yellow\" head.[citation needed]\nThe yellow-headed amazon averages 38\u201343 centimetres (15\u201317 in) long.[13] The shape is typical of amazons, with a robust build, rounded wings, and a square tail. The body is bright green, with yellow on the head, dark scallops on the neck, red at the bend of the wing, and yellow thighs. The flight feathers are blackish to bluish violet with a red patch on the outer secondaries. The base of the tail also has a red patch, which is usually hidden. The outer tail feathers have yellowish tips.[2]\nThe bill is horn-colored (gray), darker in immatures of the Belizean subspecies. The eye ring is whitish in Mexican birds and grayish in others. The most conspicuous geographical difference is the amount of yellow. In adults, the head and upper chest are yellow in the subspecies of the Tres Mar\u00edas Islands (tresmariae); just the head in the widespread subspecies of Mexico (oratrix); just the crown in Belize (belizensis); and the crown and nape in the Sula Valley of Honduras (hondurensis, which thus resembles the yellow-naped parrot). Immatures have less yellow than adults; they attain adult plumage in 2 to 4 years.[2]\nThe variety \"Magna\" (or \"Magnum\") is bred for more yellow and commands a premium price as a pet.[14] Some \"extreme\" Magnas have as much yellow as Tres Mar\u00edas birds, but are distinguished from them by heavier barring on the chest and a less bluish tint to the green plumage.[15]\nWild birds give low-pitched, sometimes human-sounding screams, but often fly silently (unlike many other parrots). The calls can be described as \"a rolled kyaa-aa-aaah and krra-aah-aa-ow, a deep, rolled ahrrrr or ahrhrrrr,\" etc.[2] Young birds make a \"clucking\" sound to indicate that they are hungry.\nThis species lives in riparian forest and areas with scattered trees, as well as evergreen forest in Belize and mangroves in Guatemala. A notable ecoregion of occurrence is the Belizean pine forests.[16] It occurs singly or in pairs, in small groups, and occasionally in big flocks. The range formerly included both coastal slopes of Mexico from the Tres Mar\u00edas Islands and Jalisco to Oaxaca and from Nuevo Le\u00f3n to northern Chiapas and southwestern Tabasco, as well as a disjunct area including most of Belize, and another comprising a small part of northeastern Guatemala and northwestern Honduras.[2] However, their numbers have been reduced drastically\u2014by 90%, to 7,000, from the mid-1970s to 1994,[17] and by 68% from 1994 to 2004[1]\u2014because of capture for the pet trade and habitat destruction.\nIntroduced populations can be found in Stuttgart, Germany where a population of over 50 individuals resides .[18] Smaller introduced populations are to found at Imperial Beach, Santa Ana, Loma Linda and Pasadena; all in Southern California. In addition, introduced \u2013and apparently breeding\u2013 populations have been reported in Puerto Rico [19].\nThe yellow-headed amazon is considered endangered by the IUCN, and is on the CITES Appendix I, which by international treaty, has made export, import and trade of wild-caught yellow-headed amazons illegal and the trade in birds bred in aviculture subject to controls in most of the world. Captive-bred yellow-headed amazons can be sold and owned legally subject to checks and regulations. Populations range from Central America, through Mexico, and even into the southmost region of Texas. Generally, throughout the world, sale of Appendix I species bred in aviculture must be accompanied with official certification which is provided by the breeder, and they must have a closed ring on one leg.\nThe popularity of yellow-headed amazons as a pet continues to fuel poaching efforts, which have nearly driven it to extinction in the wild. Their wild population has declined from 70,000 to 7,000 in the past two decades alone.[1] An estimated 40-60% of poached yellow-headed amazons die before they are sold. The situation for tresmariae, which potentially can be treated as a separate species, is unclear, but its very small range gives cause for concern and some reports indicate it is under considerable threat.[1]\nAs pets[edit]\nPet parrot\nThough only captive-bred yellow-headed amazons may be owned, these are widely available (if somewhat expensive) and their personalities make them highly desirable pets; they have been kept as such for centuries[20] because they are among the parrots that \"talk\" best.[21] Their vocal abilities are generally bested only by the grey parrot and matched by similar species, such as the yellow-naped parrot. Yellow-headed amazons in captivity appear to have an affinity for both singing and the learning of song - and a naturally powerful, operatic voice.[22][23][24]\nAs in most amazons, nervous plucking of plumage is rare among this species. A generally recognized disadvantage of the yellow-headed amazon and its close relatives (such as the yellow-naped amazon) is hormonal aggressiveness, most notable among males in the breeding season. It is a member of the \"Hot Three\" (referring to the male bird's \"hot\" temper), along with the yellow-naped and blue-fronted.[25][26]\n^ a b c d BirdLife International (2013). \"Amazona oratrix\".

        "raw_content": "We are all lawyers now\nThe first week of the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Corona may have opened in fits and starts, but what is undeniable is that it has now acquired a life of its own.\nNote for instance is that for all the protestations of Chief Justice Corona\u2019s defense team that the Rule of Law is being trammeled in the whole exercise, they\u2019re the ones who appear ready and adept at invoking its finer intricacies to their advantage.\nYet, the defense may be one step ahead right now in form but what the prosecution has in its favor is substance.\nNow, I do not wish to go into the merits of the prosecution\u2019s claim that SALNs already made public, once examined detail by detail, will show not only Chief Justice Corona\u2019s utter failure to abide by the law\u2019s disclosure requirement\u2019s but also how he allegedly amassed unexplained wealth over that span of time it took him to transform himself from being a lowly chief of staff of then Vice President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to being the primus inter pares of the High Court.\nI shall leave it to the prosecution witnesses to testify on those points beginning today.\nBut once the key to Chief Justice Corona\u2019s SALNs has been turned over to the Senate \u2014 no less a triumph of the constitutional proposition that an impeachment court is itself a constitutional institution higher because unique in its function than the country\u2019s highest court \u2014 the cause for public accountability has, in a very real sense, been already won.\nI don\u2019t know if the High Court can at this point still risk a showdown with the impeachment court convened by the Senate. For one, whether the high and mighty justices of the Supreme Court like it or not, the televised (and live-streamed!) historic trial is a blockbuster everyone wants to see.\nAfter all, for the very first time, the veil of mystery that has shrouded an often misunderstood institution has been lifted. Not only that: it\u2019s very leader, no less than the Chief Justice himself, is being placed under intense public scrutiny.\nA new Temporary Restraining Order from Mr. Corona\u2019s dependable friends in his own court, this time aimed at torpedoing his impeachment trial, is sure to backfire the way it did when the High Court tried to open the door for Mrs. Macacapal-Arroyo so she can fly out of the country and escape public accountability.\nThe immorality of the whole sordid affair riled the public so much; there was nothing but public ridicule for Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo, whose feigned illness was so obvious that it immediately elicited devilish comparisons with the popular Japanese anime character Naruto from among the ranks of savvy netizens.\nThis is what agent provocateurs like Alan Paguia and Homobono Adaza are up against \u2013 a public that has, over the years since the February 1986 revolution, undergone no less than a revolution in political consciousness.\nFor this reason, Messieurs Paguia and Adaza, no matter how hard they try to outdo each another in their profession of unblemished fidelity to the Supreme Court and the Chief Justice, will never get the respect they so desperately want from the public.\nYour ordinary citizen has become better at reading between the lines.\nIt is also for this same reason that the former First Gentleman, Mike Arroyo, cannot expect to be taken seriously by your average jeepney driver, his solemn oath to the incorruptibility of the good Chief Justice notwithstanding.\nIn case Mr. Arroyo has forgotten, he himself is facing a slew of corruption complaints before the Ombudsman while his wife, Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the gracious benefactor to the Chief Justice, is herself in prison for charges she now has to fight off in court.\nIf at all, whoever was the PR guru who advised him to make public the case for the innocence of the Chief Justice should be fired for giving the utterly counter-intuitive advice to Mr. Arroyo. His public statements only serve to solidify in the public\u2019s mind Mr. Corona\u2019s close association with the Arroyos.\nIn any case, not even the prosecutors are spared from public scrutiny.And rightly so. After all, they represent the interests of the people in the impeachment proceedings. They cannot afford to commit blunder after blunder in the highly-charged atmosphere of a live trial. And they know it.\nSo Justice Cuevas is a necessary foil to the prosecutors. His presence in the impeachment trial means that in the end, the Chief Justice cannot claim to have been denied due process. He was given the choice to get the best defense lawyers in town. And he sure got them.\nThe impeachment trial of the Chief Justice is good for us.\nMore than a spectacle, it is an education in civic responsibility. The lawyers may have the run of things in the impeachment court but they must realize too that the corrupt legacy left behind by the Chief Justice\u2019s chief benefactor, Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo, has turned lawyers of all of us. The public wants the full force of the law applied to her. And there are no better lessons in legal and constitutional responsibility than a former President sent to jail for her criminal misdeeds and her favorite Chief Justice tried for betrayal of public trust, corruption and culpable violation of the constitution.*\nYou may also read this essay as it first appeared in my column for the Iloilo News today here.\nFiled under Impeachment, Impunity\nTagged as CJ Corona, impeachment court, impeachment proceedings, lawyers\nCan the Senate ever be a court?\nSome of our senators have to be reminded that while the Constitution refers to the Senate as an \u201cimpeachment court\u201d for purposes of impeachment, this does not change the fact that: one, it is still the Senate, one of two houses of the legislative branch of government; and two, its members remain to be members of the Upper House, elected at large as representatives of the people.\nThe phrase \u201cimpeachment court\u201d should hence not be construed to mean that senators are fulfilling a judicial role, as in fact they are not part of the judiciary. It should only be construed to mean that after an impeachable officer has been impeached, it is the Senators who will decide the fate of the said officer; that is, whether said officer should be removed from office.\nHence, it is wrong for our senators to be donning judicial robes which\u2014in all jurisdictions worldwide\u2014are worn only by judges from the judicial branch of government. The practice in the United States, from which we patterned our rules on impeachment, does not include the donning of such robes. On the contrary, senators treat such impeachment proceedings as part of the daily chores of the Senate. And typical of jurisdictions with strong party systems, American senators almost always vote along party lines.\nWhen the Senate thus decides the fate of these impeachable officers, its decision would not be judicial in nature. It will be a policy decision. Senator Antonio Trillanes hit the nail on the head when he declared that the Senate will decide the fate of Chief Justice Renato Corona on the basis of what is best for the country. Certainly, evidence presented by the parties cannot be ignored.\nBut in the appreciation of this evidence, the rules of court, precisely because it is the Senate and not a court, is applicable only on a suppletory basis. It is still the interest of the country that should be the primordial consideration of the senators.\nThis is why I am alarmed that this early, the Senate leadership appears bent on conducting the impeachment proceeding as if it were a real court. For instance, it has said that it will gag the parties to the proceedings from commenting on the proceedings pursuant to the sub judice rule. This is glaring error.\nTo begin with, the sub judice rule was developed as a tool to protect the objectivity of jurors in court proceedings. In jurisdiction where the guilt of the accused is adjudged by a jury of his peers consisting of ordinary individuals with no training on the rules of evidence, it was originally thought important to protect them from any and all information that may affect their appreciation of facts. Its application to jurisdictions with no jury systems such as ours, have been tempered. Judges after all, unlike ordinary individuals, are trained in both law and evidence. Judges hence are less likely to be affected by extraneous information.\nAs held by a UK Court in Ref v. Duffy: \u201c\u2026A judge is in a very different position to a juryman. Though in no sense superhuman, he has by his training no difficulty in putting out of his mind matters which are not evidence in the case. This, indeed, happens daily to judges on assize.\u201d\nBut even in jurisdictions that still rely on the jury system, the constitutional dedication to freedom of expression as a human right has drastically affected the application of the sub judice rule. One decision of the European Court of Human Rights held: \u2018Provided that it does not overstep the bounds imposed in the interests of the proper administration of justice, reporting, including comment, on court proceedings contributes to their publicity and is thus perfectly consonant with the requirement under Article 6 \u00a7 1 of the Convention that hearings be public. Not only do the media have the task of imparting such information and ideas: the public also has a right to receive them. This is all the more so where a public figure is involved, such as, in the present case, a former member of the Government. Such persons inevitably and knowingly lay themselves open to close scrutiny by both journalists and the public at large. \u201c\nMoreover, our own Supreme Court has ruled that contempt for violating the sub judice rule is now subject to the clear and present danger test: In Chavez v. Gonzalez, the Court ruled: \u201cOur laws are of different kinds and doubtless, some of them provide norms of conduct which even if violated have only an adverse effect on a person\u2019s private comfort but does not endanger national security. There are laws of great significance but their violation, by itself and without more, cannot support suppression of free speech and free press. In fine, violation of law is just a factor, a vital one to be sure, which should be weighed in adjudging whether to restrain freedom of speech and of the press.\n\u201cThe totality of the injurious effects of the violation to private and public interest must be calibrated in light of the preferred status accorded by the Constitution and by related international covenants protecting freedom of speech and of the press.\n\u201cIn calling for a careful and calibrated measurement of the circumference of all these factors to determine compliance with the clear and present danger test, the Court should not be misinterpreted as devaluing violations of law. By all means, violations of law should be vigorously prosecuted by the State for they breed their own evil consequence. But to repeat, the need to prevent their violation cannot per se trump the exercise of free speech and free press, a preferred right whose breach can lead to greater evils\u201d(emphasis supplied).\nIn Corona\u2019s motion to cite the public prosecutors in contempt, the question is: what clear and danger arose from the disclosure of the Chief Justice\u2019s condominium units? Absolutely none.\nFiled under Impeachment\nTagged as accountability, CJ Corona, impeachment court, impeachment proceedings\nA man named Renato C. Corona\nToday, I make a debut of sorts as I begin an adventure as a column writer for the Iloilo City-based The News Today (TNT). In case you\u2019re wondering what\u2019s the connection, the newspaper\u2019s publisher, Rommel Ynion, and the editor-in-chief and general manager, Junep Ocampo, were my former colleagues back in the day at The Philippine Star. My thanks go to them for giving me this opportunity. I write Mondays and my column runs under the name sc\u012bre licet, which is latin for \u201cit is permitted to know.\u201d Here\u2019s my first piece as a columnist:\nI BARELY KNEW who he was then, but I saw him arrive at the Edsa Shrine a few hours before his principal \u2013 Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo \u2013 did; it was one or two days away from Erap\u2019s departure from Malacanang as a result of People Power II and I was then a junior law student in the evening program of the UP College of Law who also worked as a reporter for The Philippine Star.\nA colleague of mine, who covered the Malaca\u00f1ang beat, instantly recognized him and approached him for an interview. It was from her that I learned that the guy in the suit who arrived with a business-like mien was the lawyer Renato C. Corona, chief of staff for Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo, then Vice President and ostensibly, Erap\u2019s constitutional successor.\nI joined the huddle to hear what he had to say.\nIn the interview, Corona told of an alleged plot by two leading politicians to set up a civilian-military junta in case Erap stepped down from power. These two politicians, he claimed, were fronting as Erap\u2019s supporters. Obviously, the lawyer wasn\u2019t for the plan either, because it would mean his principal would be upstaged in the resulting scheme of things.\nBut among my activist-friends gathered at the Serviam Hall above the Shrine, there had been a buzz of excitement. They were calling for a march of one million people to Malaca\u00f1ang (it wasn\u2019t obvious then that they were exaggerating their power to rally citizens behind them).\nMore importantly, they talked of the declaration of a revolutionary government, a new beginning with a clean political slate. Even the law student in me \u2013 who had his fair share of law school readings of Supreme Court decisions on constitutional controversies occasioned by People Power I \u2013 was for it.\nAs I now look back to that historical moment nearly 11 years ago I tell myself I should have perhaps realized right away that Corona\u2019s presence at the shrine signaled that the politicians were taking over.\nTrue enough, before long the motley collection of civil society groups who led the call for Estrada\u2019s ouster called a press conference, joined by politicians. At the head of the presser was the late senator Raul Roco, a man I greatly admired and whose botched candidacy for the presidency in 2004 I supported.\nHis announcement was met with disbelief by not a few faces at the Serviam Hall: no, we weren\u2019t going to declare a revolutionary government; instead, we\u2019re following the constitutional rule on succession.\nThat of course, meant that Erap would be replaced by Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.\nHow I could tell you that many civil society groups my reportage followed as they pressed for Erap\u2019s resignation had no love lost for his constitutional successor either.\nTo them, her brand of politics was suspect (as one of them would say: someone who associated with Norberto Gonzales early on in her political career will always be suspect).\nThey weren\u2019t sure she was any better than Erap.\nAnd how they resented the idea that with Erap\u2019s removal from power and the politicians\u2019 successful maneuver towards constitutional succession, it\u2019s as if they themselves were responsible for handing over to her the reins of political power!\nNo, it certainly wasn\u2019t their intention. All that time, they took pains to distinguish between removing Erap from power and installing Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo in his stead.\nOf course, Roco was eventually rewarded the education portfolio under the Arroyo administration. While he did well as education secretary, I\u2019d like to think the announcement he made on the penultimate day of People Power II was something he regretted later on because four years after EDSA Dos, he would join calls for Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo\u2019s resignation. That historic press conference certainly wasn\u2019t his proudest moment.\nBut I didn\u2019t see Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo or her favored chief of staff at Roco\u2019s press conference.\nBut the next day, January 21, 2001, Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo \u2013a former President\u2019s daughter \u2013 was sworn into office as the 14th President of the Republic of the Philippines.\nI was standing only a few meters away when Chief Justice Hilario Davide administered her oath of office at the historic shrine.\nMrs. Macapagal-Arroyo promised a mouthful that day while the late Jaime Cardinal Sin and former Presidents Fidel V. Ramos and Corazon Aquino looked on: a successful fight against poverty within the decade, the return of high moral standards in government and society, a shift from personality-driven to program-based politics, and a leadership by example.\nIn other words, exactly the kind of exalted things her nine-year hold on power went against.\n\u201cI feel God put me in this point of our history and there is hard work.. There is much to be done and the President\u2019s job is one where one must work hard,\u201d Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo said at one point in her inaugural speech.\nThe next day I shared by-lines with a colleague in our paper\u2019s banner story: \u201cA time to heal, a time to build.\u201d\nIt certainly didn\u2019t feel that way to me.\nBut I\u2019m now pretty sure it did that day 11 years ago for a man named Renato C. Corona.\nHere\u2019s a link to the column as it appeared on TNT\u2019s website.\n(Disclosure: A former journalist and now a lawyer by profession, Mr. Bagares is part of a team of private lawyers tapped by the House of Representatives to assist its members tasked as prosecutors in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato C.

        "raw_content": "Principles of Egyptian Art: Part 1\nPrinciples of Egyptian Art: Part 18:32\nToday I want to talk about Egyptian art.\nIn order to begin this discussion,\nI thought that we might start with the term art.\nWhen we look at Western art today, we often judge it on an aesthetic and\na technical basis.\nDoes the artifact appeal to the viewer?\nHas the artist completed the work with technical success?\nThe observer could probably answer both of these questions fairly simply.\nBut then, there is also the issue of whether the artwork has communicated or\nexpressed something to the viewer.\nHas it evoked an emotional response?\nHas the artist successfully conveyed his or her message?\nLet's look for an example at a few works of modern art.\nOne, a sculpture by Robert Indiana, and\nanother, a cubist painting by Picasso.\nThese three artists have succeeded on both a technical and an aesthetical level.\nBut has their more subjective message been conveyed?\nWere such questions even valid for art during earlier periods of time?\nFor the first and a good portion of the second millennium CE, much of\nthe art that has survived has tended to be primarily for religious purposes.\nSee for example the Sistine Chapel, the beautiful fresco by Giotto, and\nmany artworks that we see from the first 1,000 years and even into later periods.\nThe subject matter of western art\nhas been increasingly secular however more recently.\nSometimes the images are immediately recognizable.\nAnd sometimes they are less recognizable.\nThey seem to have not only recognizable images, but\nthey also seem to have some symbolic works too.\nBut the emphasis has been on both technique and\nwhether the artist has expressed feelings he or she intended to give to the viewer.\nOccasionally the artist has become almost as important as the subject matter\nthat he or she is trying to depict.\nSometimes information about the life of the individual who created the artifact,\ncan help the viewer appreciate fully the work.\nFor example, a painting by Van Gogh.\nCertainly, the best artists throughout history have obtained\na high level of fame.\nAnd their reputations were based on both these issues, their aesthetic and\nAnd also, their ability to convey messages.\nFor example, Michelangelo's statue of David, and Monet's impressionist art.\nWhether the work was primarily religious or\nsecular made no real difference therefore.\nThe underlying purpose to get the message across as well as the importance\nof the aesthetics through the ability of the artist has not changed all that much.\nOne can see the same situation in a variety of cultures from both the East\nand the West.\nBut in ancient times, especially in Egypt, the situation was different.\nWe usually do not know the artist.\nIn fact, much of the work was a cooperative effort.\nAnd because the society is so removed from us we may be unfamiliar enough with\nthe civilization that we cannot always judge its success in terms of its message.\nWe may not know the message at all.\nWe may be able to appreciate the technical and aesthetic appeal of a sculpture,\nsuch as the figure of Tutankhamun in the Penn Museum,\nas well as the relief of Kapure.\nBut what do these images really mean to us?\nIn some cases, we do not know the person responsible for\ncreating both the concept and the item itself.\nOccasionally, however, we do know them.\nFor example, the step pyramid,\nthe first building in history built entirely of stone.\nWe do know that the architect was Imhotep.\nThis conveyed messages to all viewers.\nIt was the burial of the King, the presence of a deified individual and\na divine cosmological place.\nAnd since we know what the purpose of the building was,\nwe can judge all of its aspects and to see whether or not they're successful.\nStill we're not cognizant of the actual limits of the success of this creation\nuntil we have more information about it in terms of its culture.\nMore than likely however we do not even know the identity of the artist.\nImhotep was a rare example.\nBut let's take another one from Ancient Egypt, the bust of Nefertiti.\nIf we view it on an aesthetic level, we can appreciate its beauty,\nespecially since it conforms to modern Western conventions.\nWe might say that the artist was technologically superior\nto the one who created a figure of her husband, Akhenaten.\nBut in terms of its message could one be more successful than the other.\nWithout knowledge of the society we cannot be sure which.\nSo for the ancient world in general, and\nEgypt specifically, we must learn more about the context.\nThat is what was the artifact's role in society.\nActually this rule would be applicable for all work created in environments with\nwhich the viewer has little or no information or familiarity.\nFor a work of art to be successful, some common ground has to exist between\nthe viewer and the artists, especially for Egyptian art.\nAnd we are somewhat fortunate, for\nthe imagery derives primarily from recognizable figures in nature.\nSo we are able\nand identify\nsomewhat with\nare looking at.",

        "raw_content": "8 Tech Trends for 2014\n2013 was another busy year in the world of tech and engineering. 2014 promises to contain even more exciting and intriguing developments. Here are some of the stories we think will be big in 2014 and, as you\u2019ll soon see, Google continues to be ever present...\n1. Wearable Computing Will be a Lot More Common\nA recent New York Times review on smart watches begins by saying, \u201cEvery time you look, our computers have moved closer to us.\u201d This doesn\u2019t just mean on our wrists, either. Every day, we move closer to a world where Google Glass moves out of the test phase and onto our heads. With the introduction of the watch-style computer instead of the (much) dorkier Glasses-style, we think that we'll be seeing a lot more of these devices on relatively normal folks.\n2. Bitcoin will continue to be a trending story\nSick of talking about Bitcoin? Sorry to say, but we\u2019ll probably all be talking about it more in 2014, at least if one of the Winklevoss twins (of Facebook fame) has anything to say about it. According to Mashable, Cameron Winklevoss \u201cthinks the digital currency might easily become 45 times as valuable as it is today (roughly $900 per bitcoin).\u201d Then again, it could always go the other way too.\n3. The world will continue to \u201cget smaller\u201d\nWhile it is cliche to say that the world is getting smaller, it is an inarguable fact. Translation software, like Google Translate, which just added 9 new languages, is making it possible for our global economies and relationships to become even more entwined and interdependent. We're also moving toward live translation utilizing the aforementioned wearble computers -- making communication across cultures incredibly simple.\n4. More of our cars will drive themselves\nOnce again, powerhouse Google seeks to fundamentally change an integral part of our lives. They are not, however, the only ones looking to do so when it comes to the idea of manufacturing a driverless car. Actual auto companies like Mercedes, Audi, and Ford are also racing to perfect the technology. With the original driverless technologies, such as self-parking vehicles, filtering down market to less expensive cars, the next step in the luxury market is the really autonomous auto.\n5. 3D printing will continue to enable micro manufacturing\nWhile an unhealthy portion of the 3D printing narrative seems to be framed by the possible propagation of plastic firearms, such a technology promises far more positive possibilities as well. Two German based companies are teaming up to develop a device that will allow you print tiny metal components while, meanwhile, micro manufacturing platforms like the Robox 3D printer continue to make progress.\n6. We will finally have actual \u201cvirtual reality\u201d gaming\nWhile the idea of \u201cvirtual reality\u201d gaming has been on our collective consciousness since the original \u201cTron\u201d film, most attempts at engineering the concept in the real world have failed, Nintendo\u2019s \u201cVirtual Boy\u201d proving a prime example. The Occulus Rift, on the other hand, seems primed for success.\n7. Mobile web will further overtake desktop computing in 2014\nDon\u2019t have a SmartPhone? Don\u2019t have a mobile version of your website? Prepare to be left behind in the coming year. Looking at this chart from Business Insider, once can see that the number of mobile users will surmount those on their desktops in 2014.\n8. The privacy battle will continue to intensify\nNo matter what you think of Edward Snowden, his revelation this year of the scope to which the National Security Administration has been spying on internet users has ignited a firestorm of questions and debate, at least across the internet. As Mr. Snowden is once again in the news, don\u2019t expect the internet privacy battle to quiet down anytime soon.\nWhat are you excited or worried about in the world of technology this coming year? What do you think will be a big story in 2014?",

        "raw_content": "Anca Gheaus / Fair Equality of Opportunity in Unjust Circumstances\nFair equality of opportunity (FEO) is a principle that regulates competition for unequally desirable social positions; it requires that individuals with the same level of ambition and native talent have the same opportunities - or, in different words, a level playing field. In distributionally just societies, the magnitude of inequalities is itself regulated by a different principle - for instance, by luck egalitarianism, or some kind of prioritarianism, or, at the very least, sufficientarianism. By contrast, in certain kinds of unjust circumstances, two joint features render the competition for social positions morally objectionable: (a) the competition is in an important sense non-voluntary and (b) the pay-offs are unjustly unequal. In such circumstances, I argue, there is little if any value to leveling the playing field. I examine several grounds for valuing FEO and find little that recommends it as an important principle in unjust societies. To the extent to which existing societies are unjust, current preoccupation with lack of social mobility is misguided: it makes no moral difference whether one is a victim of injustice due to lack of native talent or due to unlucky familial circumstances.\nAnca Gheaus was previously a researcher in philosophy for the Department of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at Umea University and the Department of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield. From the 1st of March 2016 she is a Ram\u00f3n y Cajal researcher at the Law Department at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). Her research interests lie in the areas of moral and political philosophy, with particular focus on issues of distributive justice. She has published work on the nature of justice, family ethics, gender justice, animal ethics and justice in the workplace in journals such as the Philosophical Quarterly, the Journal of Political Philosophy, the Journal of Social Philosophy, the Journal of Applied Philosophy and the Journal of Ethics & Social Philosophy.\nGRAHAM STUART LOUNGE, ROOM 400, ENCINA HALL\nALL MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND THE WORKSHOP.

        "raw_content": "The Last Innocent Book Release July 4 2014\nAuthor: Simon Hartshorne, Truva Books\nNottingham, UK, June 27, 2014 -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- The Last Innocent by K. Chrisbacher Book Release July 4 2014, Fiction.\nThe debut novel by K. Chrisbacher - The Last Innocent - is due to launch on the 4th of July 2014. The Last Innocent is the first book in the Dimensions series.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Last-Innocent-Book-One-Dimensions-ebook/dp/B00L6LKDE0/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1403790735&sr=8-12&keywords=the+last+innocent\nhttp://www.truvabooks.com/the-last-innocent/4584749834\n'Twenty-two-year-old Sarah Croshen\u2019s life changes when the police kill an intruder in her house and she meets the handsome detective David Galpren. From there, the truth quickly unravels. She is a veiled Innocent and the world is not at it seems. Winged angels? Demons from Hell? Supreme mortals with supernatural abilities? Preposterous! But when a demon prince kidnaps her best friend, Sarah must fulfill a destiny she never asked for, or risk her friend\u2019s life.'\nThe Last Innocent is a book based in the near future, where the worrying signs of end times and a one world order become the backdrop to a character-driven story, a story of a reluctant heroine, plucked from her comfortable life to confront entities she assumed were myths, the fallen angels. In the process she must also come to terms with other truths about who she really is and what she is capable of. This story will appeal to anyone fascinated by the apocryphal texts, in particular the mysterious book of Enoch, which tells of the Watchers whom defied God by coming to earth and producing offspring with the daughters of men, known in the bible as the nephilim.\nWhat people are saying about The Last Innocent:\n'In The Last Innocent, Sarah Croshen discovers that she hasn't been imagining the strange phenomena that happen around her. She is a veiled Supreme, with supernatural abilities, and for years demons have been coming after her while her immortal guardians fend them off. Now that she knows the truth, things get even more complicated. And dangerous. The Last Innocent is exciting, and its take on angel and demon lore is interesting, especially the demi-demons and their daily influence on man. The characters are well-drawn. The good guys are brave and self-sacrificing without being too perfect. The villain is terrifyingly charming. Other characters lie in fascinating shades of gray. Sarah, our heroine, is strong and a little sassy, and her wit acts as a perfect balance for the weight of the problems she faces. The Last Innocent teems with inner struggles, searches for identity, and forbidden love. K. Chrisbacher's skillful writing lets us experience all the tension and uncertainty right along with the characters, and the edge-of-your-seat final conflict will leave you wanting more.'\nMelinda Brasher, author of Far-Knowing and Leaving HomeBachelor of Arts, Spanish and Linguistics\n'Although I'm more of a fan of creative non-fiction, I'm also a fan of learning whether it's through the author's style or content. As K. Chrisbacher's story unfolded, it wrapped me up into a novel laced with mystery, action, fantasy, and a creative interpretation from the Book of Revenlations. It even contained the dreaded romance I try to avoid reading. But Chrisbacher tells the story of Sarah Croshen quite well. I study books one page at a time and never try and guess what's coming next. The Last Innocent is written in such a descriptive style it absorbed me into the story. I take this journey along with Sarah as she discovers she isn't the typical college student she believes herself to be, and indeed has a higher calling. We see the characters with their heroic traits and especially their flaws. This work definitely spares us from the \u201cperfect\u201d characters that make most novels unbelievable. Open TLI and experience the adventure for yourself.'\nRick Velasquez, Bachelor of Arts, English/American Studies Writing Program\nContact-Details: s.hartshorne@truvabooks.com",

        "raw_content": "William Kilpatrick: 'Multiculturalism: Islamic Style'\n\"European Christians and secularists who think that opening their borders to millions of sharia-shaped migrants is going to result in increased diversity ought to take a lesson from the experience of Christians in the Middle East. If Muslim colonization of the West follows suit, it\u2019s not just Christmas songs and celebrations that will be endangered, but Christianity itself.\"\nSee also William Kilpatrick's December 28, 2016 article over at The Catholic Thing, Our Responsibility to Criticize Islam (h/t Tim Furnish):\n\"The very argument that criticism of Islam will drive moderates into the radical camp suggests that criticism is needed. If Islam is such a hair-trigger religion that the slightest offense might radicalize adherents, there is something radically wrong with the religion itself.\"\nMulticulturalism: Islamic Style\nA nun grieves the day after a bombing during Mass at St. Mark\u2019s Coptic Cathedral in Alexandria, Egypt on December 10, 2016. (Photo credit: CNS photo / Amr Abdallah Dalsh, Reuters)\n\u201cSchoolchildren banned from singing Silent Night over fears it will offend other religions.\u201d So reads a headline in the Express. Instead of singing the lyrics which might \u201coffend other religions,\u201d schoolchildren in Bresciano, Italy were told to hum the tune.\nIf you have trouble guessing what other religion might take offense, it probably means that you\u2019ve spent the last eight years in the Galapagos Islands studying the evolution of finches. Either that, or you work for the State Department. Those who have been paying attention know that the religion in question is Islam. The new rule, to paraphrase Robert Spencer, is \u201cWhen in Muslim countries, do as the Muslims do, and when in non-Muslim countries, do as the Muslims do.\u201d\nThus, in one Italian town, \u201cSilent Night\u201d can\u2019t be sung, and in another, a priest has cancelled a traditional Nativity scene at the local cemetery out of respect for Muslim graves. Meanwhile, in Sweden, the traditional St. Lucy\u2019s Day celebration has been cancelled by several towns and cities so as not to offend other religions. In response, Sweden\u2019s Muslim community has decided to cancel all festivities connected to the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, out of respect for Christians.\nI made up that last sentence, of course; Muslims don\u2019t seem to worry overmuch about offending other religions or, for that matter, about offending secular sentiments. As is increasingly apparent, multiculturalism is a one-way street. Christians are expected to make concessions and yield up cultural territory while secularists (on the one hand) and Islamists (on the other) use multiculturalism as an excuse to engage in cultural land grabs.\nIn reality, multiculturalism is a one-way street to a monoculture. Secularists do not wish for a society with a rich diversity of thought and belief. What they are working toward\u2014as can be seen most clearly on college campuses\u2014is a complete uniformity of thought. To the extent that secularists are interested in other cultures, they are interested in using them to undermine the Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman inheritance. Muslims also desire a monoculture\u2014although a decidedly non-secular one. However, they are quite willing to take advantage of multicultural orthodoxy in order to advance their own agenda.\nIslamists are willing to play the multicultural game, but occasionally their condescending attitude towards other cultures peeps through the veil of taqiyya. Consider this from Islam Question and Answer:\nIt is not permissible for a Muslim to eat things that the Jews and Christians make on their festivals or what they give him as a gift on their festivals, because that is cooperating with them and joining in with them in this evil\u2026\nThe authors of Islam Question and Answer are not worried about offending other religions, and neither is popular Indian Islamic preacher Dr. Zakir Abdul Karim Naik. On December 24, he wrote the following on his Twitter account:\nWishing \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d to Christians is Worst Evil, worse than fornication or murder\u2026 Please avoid it my dear Muslim brothers and sisters\u2026 It\u2019s a big sin\u2026\nIn the West, Muslims are willing to make a nod toward the Western celebration of diversity. But in Muslim majority nations it\u2019s a different story. To the extent that other faiths are tolerated, they are tolerated only insofar as they accept dhimmi status. The second-class status of Christians was originally set down circa 640 A.D. in the Conditions of Omar. Among other things, the rules stipulated that Christians:\nwere not to build or repair churches\nwere not to clang cymbals or bells, or display crosses on churches\nwere not to raise their voices during prayer or readings or songs in churches anywhere near Muslims\nwere not to make their religion appealing, nor attempt to proselytize.\nmust adopt a humble demeanor, and yield their seats to Muslims\nThe Conditions of Omar largely fell into disuse in the last century, but as Islam scholar Raymond Ibrahim points out, they are being revived:\nThese debilitations and humiliations which were inflicted upon the Christians of the Islamic world in the past are at this moment being inflicted upon the Christians of the Islamic world in the present, as a natural consequence of Muslims returning to the authentic teaching of Islam. Those teachings \u2026 are fundamentally hostile to non-Muslims and their religious worship.\nIndeed, it is now possible to speak of a genocide against Christians in the Middle East. Much of this is the work of ISIS and other terrorist groups, but these organizations are themselves a reflection of a widespread animosity toward Christians. According to Fr. Benedict Kiely, founder of Nasarean.org:\n\u2026this isn\u2019t just ISIS \u2026 it\u2019s Islamic fundamentalism\u2014extremism\u2014attacking Christians. They just don\u2019t want Christians around even in relatively peaceful places like Dubai\u2026 They don\u2019t really want Christians around.\nThis extremist attitude was building long before ISIS came into existence. And as a result, the Christian population of the Middle East has dropped precipitously since the mid-twentieth century. For example, in 1950 the Christian population of Palestine was 15 percent; today it is 1.3 percent. The population of Bethlehem in the 1950s was 86 percent Christian; today it is 12 percent.\nEuropean Christians and secularists who think that opening their borders to millions of sharia-shaped migrants is going to result in increased diversity ought to take a lesson from the experience of Christians in the Middle East. If Muslim colonization of the West follows suit, it\u2019s not just Christmas songs and celebrations that will be endangered, but Christianity itself.\nThe multicultural vision of a harmonious melding of different cultures and traditions is based on the shallow assumption that underneath the \u201csuperficial\u201d differences, all cultures subscribe to the same decent and humane values that are taken for granted in the West. It is increasingly apparent, however, that this is a dangerous assumption to make. Groups such as ISIS and Boko Haram consider sex slavery and beheadings to be legitimate expressions of their faith and culture. And many of the refugees pouring into Europe carry that mindset with them. As their number increases, we can expect an increase in attacks on infidels\u2014more sexual assaults on unveiled women, more attacks on churches and synagogues, and more targeting of shoppers at malls and Christmas markets. The road to the multicultural promised land is already paved with many skulls.\nThe Italian schoolchildren who were not allowed to sing the lyrics of Silent Night were participants in a \u201cWinter Recital.\u201d Formerly it was called a \u201cChristmas Concert.\u201d All over the U.S. and Europe, similar name changes have been offered up to the god of multicultural diversity. For instance, in Belgian school calendars, Easter Vacation is now Spring Vacation, Christmas Vacation is Winter Vacation, Lenten Vacation is Rest and Relaxation Leave, and All Saints\u2019 Day is now referred to as Autumn Leave.\nAutumn Leave? How does the song go? Oh, yes\u2014\u201cThe falling leaves drift by the window/The autumn leaves of red and gold.\u201d The leaves of appeasement have been drifting by our window for some time now. The thing about autumn leaves, however, is that they turn rather quickly from red and gold to a uniform dull brown. The kind of concessions that the Belgian schools, along with the Italian schools, and the Swedish communities are making are not harbingers of a bright, multicolored future, but of a grey monochrome one.\nLabels: Europe, immigration, Islam, Islamic supremacism, migrant crisis, multiculturalism, muslim conquest, muslim demographics, Muslim persecution of Christians, Stealth Jihad, Western Response, William Kilpatrick",

        "title": "'Daredevil' Star Charlie Cox Wants A Sequel To 'The Defenders' - FandomWire",
        "raw_content": "\u2018Daredevil\u2019 Star Charlie Cox Wants A Sequel To \u2018The Defenders\u2019\nThe Defenders by Marvel is supposedly a culmination of Marvel\u2019s Netflix TV series, bringing together Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Iron Fist and Luke Cage in a brutal battle against The Hand. However, tables turned around when Defenders became Marvel\u2019s least viewed project, which has now left the future of the series in jeopardy.\nEven Daredevil star Charlie Cox admitted this in a recent interview that The Defenders nothing like it could\u2019ve been. Here\u2019s what the actor said:\n\u201cI think what we discovered with The Defenders is that it was a lot to try and handle within eight episodes. To have these four people meet in an organic way and then set up a story, and then resolve it, and introduce a new villain all in eight episodes, became a lot. In a weird way, the first part of the season felt too slow because they wanted these people to meet organically and not just chuck them in a room in the first episode. But then, by the time that happened, we only had three episodes left.\u201d\nThere will be fans who will disagree with Cox or get triggered by this statement, as most fans have come up with the same criticisms about the series since its premiere in summer, last year. While the series did take a long time to get to its main showdown, where all heroes meet, Cox told a few positive takeaways to Metro UK:\n\u201cI had a great time filming it. I really loved working with those other Defenders and I really enjoyed the dynamic. In the process of doing Daredevil, I\u2019ve kind of become a fan of that genre in a way I wasn\u2019t before \u2014 so I do get a little kick out of these little easter egg moments of when they may meet, how they interact and what that\u2019s like.\u201d\nCox even acknowledged that the challenge of doing the Defenders was a tough challenge. Comparing it with MCU actors, he says that all major superheroes only get a total of 2.5 hours a piece each before Avengers (2012), while every hero in Defenders had 13 hours of backstory each. He added that the showrunners at Marvel did their best.\n\u201cIt was a real challenge, and Marco Ramirez did an amazing job because he\u2019s having to take characters who were created and written by, not just different writers, but also shows that are tonally completely different. Just trying to bring The Defenders into one tone was a mammoth undertaking. I think he did fantastically in that area.\u201d\nIt was teased by Marvel TV Head Joseph Loeb recently, the sequel series to Defenders is still a possibility. When Cox was asked about the same, he enthusiastically agreed for it.\n\u201cI would like to see it go again if that\u2019s something they wanted to do. I\u2019d be well up for that. I think that\u2019d be really fun. I would like to see a story that is more in keeping with the show\u2019s that we make, which is a little bit more grounded, a little more boots on the ground. I don\u2019t want to see us try and compete with the Avengers in terms of the scope. I\u2019d like to see The Defenders in more of a crime drama that happens in Hell\u2019s Kitchen underground. That\u2019d be fun.\u201d\nIt\u2019s true that Marvel has many storylines to fit with Cox\u2019s proposed story angel for Defenders season 2. For instance, Shadowland, that saw Daredevil invade Hell\u2019s Kitchen while being possessed by a demonic entity. It involves Iron Fist who uses his chi-technique to free Daredevil from the curse.\nDaredevil Season 3 will premiere on October 19.\nPrevious article5 Ways DC Can Revive Its Film Universe\nNext article\u2018Austin Powers\u2019 Star Verne Toyer\u2019s Death Officially Ruled As Suicide",

        "raw_content": "Featuring Brett Baxter Clark, Pamela Saunders, Reggie De Morton\nWhat it is: Liberal Christ fantasy/violent exploitation flick\nA visitor from outer space comes to Earth to prove his worth by defeating a Great Evil, which comes in the form of a violent drug dealer. However, the visitor has a limitation; the use of violence on his part causes him to weaken.\nLiberal do-gooder fantasy or sex-and-violence exploitation flick? Take your pick; the movie is obviously trying to have it both ways. Unfortunately, rather than achieving an amazing amalgamation of diverse genres, it comes across as merely split-personality goofiness, probably because it does neither one well, though it\u2019s obviously more at home with the sex and violence. Our visitor arrives on Earth naked (someone has seen THE TERMINATOR), but, thanks to a friendly wino who just happens to have an extra set of clothes, he is soon ready to look for Great Evil. On the way he saves a woman from a gang of rapists, and then reforms the gang by getting the leader to face his shame over being called \u201cstupid\u201d, and then getting the boy to read \u201cAlice in Wonderland\u201d while he himself peruses a complete set of encyclopedias. With the help of the wino and his reformed-gang friends, he builds a really cool car that he uses to impress and reform the members of a protection racket so they can come to the reading center and break-dance, and then he\u2026 well, I could go on, but suffice it to say that interspersed between these moments are scenes where the \u201cGreat Evil\u201d takes voyeuristic movies of his harem making love to members of the local police force or doing away with rivals in as violent a way as possible. It\u2019s rating on IMDB is 4.3, but don\u2019t let that fool you; the user comments are split between those who think the movie is godawful and those who think it is a hilarious camp classic, which, if you do find yourself watching it, is perhaps the best way to approach it.",

        "title": "Father's Heart Children's Ministries | Helping and supporting needy children in Kampala, Uganda",
        "raw_content": "This has been a challenge year but a year of mysterious blessings.God is good all the time.Some children left the choir and it was a struggle for me to find out what the problem was and others go because we reached a time of lack where we could not sustain our ministry financially and others dropping out of school.But i thank God for encouraging me\u2026.There has was a group of young girls and 6 of them dropped out of school and others in school asked for help as in managing them in soccer.They knew me a a christian and so i started using that as a plat form to share the love of Jesus Christ.Some were Muslims and others didn\u2019t know Christ then i led them to Christ and became their soccer coach.We now run a girls and boys soccer team and many kids have joined from all the ends of the slums of Namuwongo. This has added more value to the ministry of Fathers Heart Children\u2019s Ministry.Many young ones are joining teams and accepting the lord.I humbly ask you to continue praying for us and you can ask the lord on how you can sow a seed so that we may be able to pay tuition and take back these girls to school or you could be the one to support our art and craft business\u2026..\nHere\u2019s an update as to what has been transpiring:\nMemory and the children had a good Christmas party where they cooked food and bought drinks for the children in the community.\nTogether with the fun, there were presentations about the real meaning of Christmas, as some of the children from poor families do not celebrate Christmas.\nThe choir was invited to sing at the Miracle Cathedral Christmas Function, in Kampala, they had a lot of fun as can be seen here.\nOn February 4th, the children will be returning to school. The problem of school expenses in Kampala, it should be noted, is more costly than those found in many westernized countries around the world. Here in Kampala, the families of the students must pay for schooling. Many of the families are poor and if they do not have the money, the child will need to drop out and be unable to begin high school. At present, there are three girls from the choir who are scheduled to begin high school, and one of them does not have the finances needed to do so. Unless the funds are provided, the mother will have to keep her child at home.\nTo help with a problem like this, and also to give the ministry a continuing source of income for other needs, Memory is hoping to open a small hair salon to help train the girls in the necessary techniques of hair styling. This salon could then be used to serve the general public, providing another source of income for the Fathers Heart Children\u2019s Choir.\nJackie, one of the choir members, is very good at braiding hair and does so for all of the girls in the choir.\nTo establish the hair salon, equipment, such as; hair dryers, side mirrors, water sink, salon chair, rollers, steamers, etc. are needed. Memory asks that if anyone has such equipment and is travelling to Kampala, to contact him concerning transport.\nAnother plan Memory has is to buy sewing machines for the girls, so that they could learn to sew clothing and from this make a living for themselves and for their families. One of the challenges in Africa is to provide ways in which the community members can live independently, providing for themselves and be independent of \u201chandouts\u201d.\nMemory also hopes to help the ministry by providing computer skills for the kids. He wishes to train them in the latest computer technology, and eventually tutor the general public in these skills as well, and so gather funds for the ministry.\nHe has many more ideas as to how to monetarily increase the ministry, and is doing his best with what he has. The equipment in this photo is being used to video tape weddings and other special events; a positive money generator.\nAt the moment, he is working on the self-produced movie, \u201cThe Face of My Generation \u2013 African Child.\u201d This movie is heartfelt for Memory, and he describes it here;, \u201cThe movie is about the life of an African child and how God has used my gift of music to bring hope to children in crisis and how God has transformed their lives\u201d\nHe has already started to edit the movie and plans to produce DVD\u2019s for sale. This project will be a fundraiser for the ministry providing support for the kids and also for him personally.\nAs we can see, Memory is very talented and has a big heart for developing the children in a positive manner. He believes God wants to use each and every one of our talents to help others and for his glory.\nThe work in the slums continues with these events:\nVisiting the slums on the weekends to tell them that \u201cJesus loves them\u201d\nOn the weekends, the kids are happy to feed children in the slums, as funds allow.\nHe also continues to sell the purses, beads , and other articles in order to raise funds for the ministry.",

        "title": "Facebook and Google targeted as first GDPR complaints filed - feedimo",
        "raw_content": "Users have been forced into agreeing new terms of service, says EU consumer rights body\nFacebook and Google have become the targets of the first official complaints of GDPR noncompliance, filed on the day the privacy law takes effect across the EU.\nAcross four complaints, related to Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Google\u2019s Android operating system, European consumer rights organisation Noyb argues that the companies have forced users into agreeing to new terms of service, in breach of the requirement in the law that such consent should be freely given.\nMax Schrems, the chair of Noyb, said: \u201cFacebook has even blocked accounts of users who have not given consent. In the end users only had the choice to delete the account or hit the agree button \u2013 that\u2019s not a free choice, it more reminds of a North Korean election process.\u201d\nIf upheld, the complaints could result in more than \u00a33bn in fines for each company \u2013 the maximum possible under the new law being the higher of \u20ac20m (\u00a318bn) or 4% of an organisation\u2019s annual revenue.\nThe complaints, filed on behalf of unnamed users of the sites, were sent to Facebook\u2019s Irish headquarters and Google\u2019s home in Mountain View, California. In a statement, Google said: \u201cWe build privacy and security into our products from the very earliest stages and are committed to complying with the EU General Data Protection Regulation. Over the last 18 months, we have taken steps to update our products, policies and processes to provide users with meaningful data transparency and control across all the services that we provide in the EU.\u201d\nFacebook\u2019s chief privacy officer, Erin Egan, told the Guardian: \u201cWe have prepared for the past 18 months to ensure we meet the requirements of the GDPR. We have made our policies clearer, our privacy settings easier to find and introduced better tools for people to access, download, and delete their information. Our work to improve people\u2019s privacy doesn\u2019t stop on 25 May. For example, we\u2019re building Clear History: a way for everyone to see the websites and apps that send us information when you use them, clear this information from your account, and turn off our ability to store it associated with your account going forward.\u201d\nA Noyb spokesman said: \u201cWe are confident that these first complaints will trigger an immediate response by the EU data protection supervisory mechanism and that the relevant supervisory authorities will carry out a robust and in-depth investigation into the particular circumstances of the complaints.\n\u201cWhat we are expecting is a strong, clear and determined decision, which will not hesitate, in case of an infringement, to hold companies accountable and subject them to the strict fines the new legislation foresees, as well as provide further guidance on the practical implementation of the GDPR requirements, set an example for other companies seeking to, directly or indirectly, negate data subjects\u2019 consent, and will ultimately uphold users\u2019 fundamental right to the protection of their personal data.\u201d\nThe issue at stake is whether the processing of data for targeted advertising can be argued to be necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to provide services such as social networking or instant messaging, Noyb argued. If not, then that processing requires separate consent, which the user must be able to decline.\n\u201cIn our view, these companies sought to tie consent to such (unnecessary) processing purposes and operations in their terms and then asked data subjects to \u2018take it or leave it\u2019,\u201d the spokesman said. \u201cConsidering the powerful position these companies have and the consequent pressure the data subject is put under, to agree to irrelevant processing/advertising purposes, we believe that any such consent obtained should be considered invalid.\u201d\nSchrems has a history of holding Silicon Valley to account. In October 2015, the Austrian privacy campaigner won a two-year legal fight to rule that data transfer to the US was not allowed under a pre-existing \u201csafe harbour\u201d agreement, since American laws provided inadequate protection for EU citizens\u2019 data, particularly with regards to state surveillance.",

        "raw_content": "A Little Break\u2026\u2026Fr. Walker, Requiescat in Pace\nPosted by Leanevdp in by Leane Vdp, Father Walker, FF Tidbits\nAs the funeral for our dear friend, Father Walker, draws nearer, our hearts are heavy, yet at the same time our faith comforts us.\nWe\u2019ve heard it, we believe it\u2026.there is a plan in everything that happens in our life. God is bigger than our minds can perceive and we have to, at times, lean on that understanding, when our emotions are pulling us this way and that.\nIsn\u2019t it true? This life is so passing\u2026..a grain of sand in the beaches of eternity. How hard it is at times to not cling to this life and all the people we hold so dear.\nGod, in His infinite mercy, slowly (and sometimes not so slowly) pulls us away from the transitory things of life.\nGod asked much of Tom and Amy Walker, our dear friends. How much He is going to reward them!! And they are stalwart in the faith. They have made many of their decisions (big and small) in the context of their Catholic convictions.\nI have read the words by Father Flood and Father Berg and they are so beautiful. They have captured the spirit of Fr. Walker so well.\nHe had \u201cno guile\u201d. Fr. Flood says, \u201cHe was very honest, courteous, kind, and I know even now he would not want me to extol him much more from the pulpit. He would say, \u2018talk about why I am a priest.'\u201d\n\u201cIf Fr. Walker would have been asked as a seminarian studying for the priesthood, \u2018If you knew one day that as a priest you would be killed at a young age, would you still pursue the priesthood?\u201d said Fr. Flood, \u201cHis answer, of course, would have been \u2018yes, even to say Mass just once.\u2019\u201d\nTom and Amy are blessed parents to have had a son like Father Walker, a priest with \u201cno guile\u201d, and now to have him praying for them and their family on the other side of life is an incredibly comforting gift!\nMay we be able to say the same for ourselves, that our decisions in this life will reflect our faith, that our children will reflect our faith and that our eternal reward will be waiting for us in the end. May we keep our eyes on that Eternal Goal as we suffer some of the blows of life, knowing that it is very short\u2026..very, very short.\nI have often told my kids the story of St. Teresa of Avila, who, when a child of only five, could be seen off by herself repeating the word, \u201cEternity\u2026..eternity\u2026.eternity\u2026\u201d She was so mesmerized by the idea of the everlasting, the never-ending\u2026.to think that our souls will never end and we will live on forever after this vale of tears! It is an awesome meditation.\nBack to the funeral, etc. Things will be hectic this weekend. We also have our Traditional Family Weekend starting tomorrow (Friday). It seems strange that the funeral and our festivities are back-to-back. We will start the Family Weekend the same day of the Funeral.\nI asked Tom and Amy if we should cancel the Weekend and they both agreed that Father Walker would have not wanted it so. He was a great supporter of our Weekend and the gathering of the families. So we are going forward and it will be dedicated to him. It will be bittersweet\u2026.\nSo I am taking a break and I will \u201csee\u201d you all again shortly.\nFather Walker, pray for us.\n4 thoughts on \u201cA Little Break\u2026\u2026Fr. Walker, Requiescat in Pace\u201d\nThank you for the reflection. Thoughts & prayers are with the family & friends. We remembered Father Walker on pilgrimage in France with his brother priest, Father Pendergraft.\nWonderful, Kam! \ud83d\ude42\nI\u2019m so glad the weekend goes on in his honor. It does seem odd, but he loved them and would have been saddened to see it canceled. We will gather for him!\nAmen, Isabel! Thanks for all you are doing in honor of him, too!",

It is not inherently bad, good or otherwise for the user experience; it is dependent on that user.\nEven accepting this framework, there are good and bad designs within it. Pretty much all game behavior is user-dependent; that doesn't make it OK to design something badly or lazily and just say, \"the user doesn't have to use it wrong unless they want to\". As a simple example, putting a +50 Sword of Instant Kill in the first room of an RPG is not good design just because the player \"doesn't have to use it\". It is in fact bad design. (I know you would call this \"gameplay\" and not \"convenience\", but that's immaterial to the example. The parallel is still valid.)\npaultakeda wrote: So sure, anything impacts UX.

A player can choose to ignore an incentive, but that does not mean that the incentive is not there, or that it is good design to put it there.\nPost by paultakeda \u00bb February 24th, 2017, 8:57 pm\nI did not say otherwise. What I said was to lump it all as UX defeats the point.\nA convenience feature is one that is applied with no regard to gameplay. It can affect gameplay if used a certain way, but that is not how it was designed nor is the gameplay aware of it.\nThat is the key point: game behavior is user-dependent. A convenience feature is not inherently lazy -- it is there as a convenience and can be abused just like anything else. A +50 sword in the game is inherently a game mechanic because it directly interacts with the game system. A save anywhere feature does not, even if a user can exploit it to affect gameplay. That distinction is very important and the reason why it cannot all be lumped as UX. This is not bad design. Design implies gameplay. A convenience feature is not about gameplay, even if it can be exploited to do so.\nThis is subjective. A convenience feature like save anywhere can, for some, have zero impact. For others it can have significant impact. Meanwhile, a limited save system is non-zero impact as it immediately can impact convenience, even if it does not affect gameplay, per se.\nTo quote someone from the Steam forums:\ni want to be able to savescum the interactions with my wife\nthat in actuallity is the crux of the matter\nPost by Grampybone \u00bb March 7th, 2017, 3:48 am\nLord of Riva wrote: To quote someone from the Steam forums:\nHahaha!

I [greatly] prefer that an RPG limit its presentation to only what the PC can give the player access to; and really consider it a cop-out to allow nonsense like Oblivion does, where a fighter PC can lead the mage's guild; and vice-versa... Or where the PC (that they developed) is lacking some crucial skill or aptitude... but the player gets the content anyway.\nYes, I am quite in favor of the PC getting 40% of the game \u2014and the rest being for other character designs. It likely means that a replay with a different PC could be in many parts... completely new to the player.\nLast edited by Gizmo on April 28th, 2017, 11:39 pm, edited 2 times in total.\nPost by Zombra \u00bb April 28th, 2017, 11:21 pm\nGizmo is right. This is not \"freedom vs. oppression\". This is one kind of game vs. another kind of game.\nA game where saving is free and easy whenever you want is a design that does have implications. I don't want those implications forced on me any more than the other side wants my preferences forced on them.\n\"Like, whatever man\" is not a pillar of good game design in my opinion.\nPost by phimseto \u00bb April 29th, 2017, 10:33 am\nNot talking about any inXile games, but RPGs in general, I'm a fan of having content available where and if you have the right characters in your party.

When we hit the part with the druid's grove, he was able to challenge for and when got that whole sub-quest. I thought that was pretty great. On the flip side, there was content we didn't get because John's character was in the party in lieu of one of the other PCs who doubtless came with their own story and quest arc. But like you say - that's content to be discovered if you ever replay the game (as I did years later with the Beamdog editions).\nAlso, Gizmo, your GIFs are quickly becoming my favorite thing on these forums.\nand really consider it a cop-out to allow nonsense like Oblivion does, where a fighter PC can lead the mage's guild; and vice-versa... Or where the PC (that they developed) is lacking some crucial skill or aptitude... but the player gets the content anyway.\nThat wasn't even remotely what I was talking about.\nWe were talking about difficulty levels. An example of the 40% thing I was talking about was the SEGA version of Golden Axe. If you played on Easy, the game ended around the 3rd level, telling you that you needed to play on a higher difficulty level if you wanted to see the end. It would be like if Wasteland 2 ended in Arizona unless you played on Supreme Jerk or Ranger difficulty.\nPost by Grohal \u00bb April 30th, 2017, 12:45 am\nThey would only be forced upon you, if there would only be autosave.\nInxile should just make an ironman mode, idealy useable for all difficultiy settings, for people who know they can't control themselves.\nPost by Zombra \u00bb April 30th, 2017, 1:11 am\nNo, but it's not worth arguing about any more.\nIt occurs to me that Golden Axe was originally designed to be configured with a hardware DIP switch. So I wonder if that was Sega's easy solution to an 'Easy' mode; just to truncate the game before its hardest level modes.\nDid they do the same with Ghost's & Goblins? That game had quite a long quest to the end; and I think they repeated the whole game at the \"end\".\nMy own 40% comment was about side-quests, and alternative routes through the main story; not about giving 40% of the campaign...\n[Think: Twenty Dialog/Action paths, where any four or five of them lead all the way to the end; each one affecting the availability of the next].\n*Although, I don't have an issue with the complete game extending beyond its apparent end on different settings. Imagine if Durlag's Tower (in Baldur's Gate) had been Sarevok's retreat, and simply didn't exist in an essentially 'story mode'.\nThank you phimseto.\nPost by Drool \u00bb April 30th, 2017, 8:11 pm\nI don't believe that was the case, but it's not like I've decompiled the game to check.\nAlthough, I don't have an issue with the complete game extending beyond its apparent end on different settings. Imagine if Durlag's Tower (in Baldur's Gate) had been Sarevok's retreat, and simply didn't exist in an essentially 'story mode'.\nI do. While I don't understand your example, I disagree with the premise. If I pay for a game, I expect every difficulty level to have all the content. I wouldn't expect an \"easy\" playthrough of Curse of the Azure Bonds to cut out the Beholder Corps, or an \"easy\" playthrough of the Dragonlance games to cut out the Dave's Dungeons.\nNow, if these optional, difficult mazes were to retain their difficulty irrespective of the difficulty selected, fine. My point was just that selecting \"Casual\" difficulty shouldn't lock out content*. It can certainly mean that content is less fulfilling, but that's a different issue entirely. As for Ironman, I see that as a stand-aside option, like turning on and off Autosave or the like.\n*I can see an exception for a detailed difficulty slider, like in System Shock, where you could adjust individual aspects. Obviously, I would expect to miss some puzzles on an \"Easy\" puzzle difficulty verses a \"Hard\". But I think that's enough of an outlier to be largely irrelevant in this discussion unless we hear that we will definitely have a robust difficulty selector.\nI do. While I don't understand your example, I disagree with the premise.\nDurlag's Tower was an added dungeon that came with the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion. Deathtraps & stuff. The example meant: What if the tower had been in the base game, and Serevok had escaped to it at the end (after the \"end\").\nWhile I haven't seen it myself yet, IRRC the Witcher 2 had additional content that only appears on the higher (or highest?) difficulty level.\nIf I pay for a game, I expect every difficulty level to have all the content.\nAha... Here we have fundamental difference of expectation. I consider the purchase as granting the right to play; not granting the right to win. Rather a bit like anteing up at the table [come to think of it]. I certainly don't consider it a buyer's privilege to see the entire contents of the game in one go [with one PC; and one set of choices]. When the character agrees to one path and cuts off another, they should not be able to return to the fork and take the other path too. Personally I'm okay with both paths leading to different locations that they never see if they don't choose the path that goes there.\nWL2 did this somewhat... When the Rangers had to choose whom they saved [between the agro-center and Highpool ]. While the player still sees the location later (if they go there), afaik they don't see both in the pre-devastated state.\nTo me, owning the game is like owning a puzzle-box with many compartments... with some that might never get opened.\nI wouldn't expect an \"easy\" playthrough of Curse of the Azure Bonds to cut out the Beholder Corps, or an \"easy\" playthrough of the Dragonlance games to cut out the Dave's Dungeons.\nI would have... but I don't disagree... It's just what would be the point of a hard challenge on easy settings \u2014that either makes it not a hard challenge, or not one possible to win?\n[ And yet I know from experience just how enjoyable it is to defeat the 'invincible' rated encounters in King's Bounty. ]\nAha... Here we have fundamental difference of expectation. I consider the purchase as granting the right to play; not granting the right to win.\nI didn't say right to win. I said I want to have access to the whole game regardless of difficulty.\nYes, but Wasteland 2 didn't eliminate, say, Leve L'upe Mine if you didn't play on Supreme Jerk. Again, I'm not talking about in game decisions cutting off content. I'm talking about out of game difficulty choices.\nHonestly, this is getting very frustrating. \"When I buy gasoline, I don't expect the station to give me biodiesel.\" \"Yes, but what if you're at McDonald's ordering a Big Mac?\"\nI would have... but I don't disagree... It's just what would be the point of a hard challenge on easy settings\nTo give the player a taste of how tough the game can be? Because it's a very hidden (and in the case of Dave, locked until post-game) thing that people are unlikely to even know about, so usual difficulties are irrelevant? Incidentally, I believe that, in the case of the Dave's Dungeons, they had their own hard-set difficulty regardless of what you played the game at. They were designed to be brutal (and, in their words, sadistic), regardless.\nI know, but I consider all-access as a kind of winning.\n(For once you have seen it all, that's all there is... unless perhaps there is more available on higher difficulty settings. )\nTo give the player a taste of how tough the game can be?\nNot by making it available in hamstrung mode.",

        "raw_content": "You Are Here: Home \u00bb Business \u00bb New Options for Taking the Home Office Tax Deduction\nNew Options for Taking the Home Office Tax Deduction\nEven as you gather your documentation to prepare your 2012 tax return, it\u2019s time to look ahead and begin planning your tax situation for the next tax year.\nOne of the things to consider as you plan for this year is the new option for taking the home office tax deduction.\nThere are a number of tax-deductible business expenses that you can claim with your home business. One of those is a deduction for the cost of the space you are using in your home.\nIf you plan to take the home office tax deduction, you are required to fill out Form 8829, which consists of 43 lines and can include depreciation and carryovers of deductions you haven\u2019t used. In some cases, the IRS even acknowledges, figuring the deduction can be a bit complex. Plus, if you make mistakes on this form, it can red-flag your return for an audit.\nRecognizing that home offices are becoming increasingly popular for the growing number of self-employed taxpayers, as well as for telecommuters, the IRS has released an optional method of claiming the home office tax deduction. It comes into effect this year, in 2013, so you will be able to claim it (if you choose) early next year when filing your 2013 tax return.\nNew Option for Claiming the Home Office Tax Deduction\nIf you are nervous about filling out Form 8829, or if you have a rather small home office space, you can choose to file a simplified form on the subject.\nThe straightforward rule allows you to deduct $5 per square foot, up to 300 square feet. This limit means that there is a $1,500 cap on the tax deduction.\nTaking the new form of the deduction includes all of the items normally included on Form 8829, such as utilities, portion of mortgage/rent payment, and other items.\nHere is what a recent IRS press release says about depreciation on the home and other items that the home office deduction generally includes:\nIf you have a larger home office space than 300 feet, or if figuring the deduction the \u201cnormal\u201d way still provides you with a bigger deduction, you can still use Form 8829. The new option for claiming the deduction doesn\u2019t replace the old method; it provides an alternative calculation.\nSome Rules Remain the Same\nWhen claiming the deduction, some rules are the same as in the past. If you have business expenses that aren\u2019t related to your home office, the IRS assures taxpayers, you can still deduct them fully. So, if you have expenses related to advertising, web hosting, or the purchase of equipment, you can use them to offset your income.\nRelated: My Blogging Essentials\nOther rules also remain the same.\nThe simpler way of figuring your home office tax deduction is still subject to the rules the IRS imposes when determining whether or not your home office space qualifies.\nThe two main tests of a home office deduction remain:\nRegular and Exclusive Use: You need to use your home office space regularly for business use \u2014 and the area you deduct must be used exclusively for business purposes. As a result, my home office deduction only applies to the 30-square-foot area comprising my desk and all-in-one printer. Even though the space is located in a larger room we refer to as \u201cthe office\u201d there are other uses for the room. Only my desk/printer area is used exclusively for my home business.\nPrincipal Place of Business: You also need to show that you use your home as a principal place of business. The IRS does say, \u201cIf you conduct business at a location outside of your home, but also use your home substantially and regularly to conduct business, you may qualify for a home office deduction.\u201d So the idea is that you base operations substantially from your home.\nMake sure you take this into account before you claim any deduction for the business use of your home. Also, consult a tax professional if you are in doubt.\nDo you use the home office tax deduction? What method do you use to claim it?\nFiled Under: Business, Taxes\nBill DeMarco says\nMost people don\u2019t even realize how many options there are when it comes to tax deductions. It\u2019s not the responsibility of the IRS to tell you that you owe less money, we need to do it for ourselves!\nIt is a shame that some people who own home businesses do not take advantage of this deduction. It has been a while since I was able to take advantage of this but nice to know the rule of thumb.\nExactly, some people just stick to one issue without turning around and see the variety of options that exist. Thanks for sharing this relevant info! Have to keep it in mind",

        "raw_content": "You Are Here: Home \u00bb Business \u00bb Rework \u2013 Book Review\nRework \u2013 Book Review\nI had the fortune to read Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson. I first heard of the book by seeing an ad for it in Inc magazine. In the ad was a recommendation by Seth Godin, whose blog I occasionally read (I don\u2019t read it near enough). I looked up the book on Amazon to see what the book was about and check out some reviews. I was intrigued to say the least.\nWho wrote Rework?\nThe authors are from the software company 37signals. The book is pretty much their business guide to what has worked for them as a company and why it will work for you.\nWhat\u2019s Rework about?\nI should go into what the book is. It\u2019s a business book. But not one of those overly boring, technical business books that talks terms and concepts that are over your head. Rework is an easy read that I think anyone who has a business, or is thinking about starting a business, would do well to read. It\u2019s full of easy-to-understand advice to get you on your way to running a successful business.\nWhy read Rework?\nThe advice given in the book makes sense. Reading the book, I kept thinking to myself how simple the concepts where but also how powerful and \u201cright\u201d they sounded. If you feel like the way you run your business is bloated and not working, this just might be the read for you. If you have an idea for a company that you are afraid to start on, this might be a great read for you. If you are looking for an efficient way to work, then check the book out.\nIn the book, Jason and David tell you what has worked for their software company. They also give plenty of examples of other companies that have become successful. They do this in a way that sets off light-bulb after light-bulb in your head. I found myself highlighting and making lots of notes.\nHere are some of the ideas I\u2019ve highlighted and notes I took:\np.19 \u201cThese People scratched their own itch and exposed a huge market of people who needed exactly what they needed. That\u2019s how you should do it too.\u201d \u2013 The point here is that a company can spend too much time worrying about the customer\u2019s needs. Figure out what YOU need and create that. If the product is good, other\u2019s will want it as well. There are examples of people who created something to fits their own needs that later translated to the market in general such as Vic Firth the drum stick maker and Bill Bowerman of Nike.\np.20 \u201cWhen you want something bad enough, you make the time-regardless of your other obligations. The truth is most people just don\u2019t want it bad enough.\u201d\np.26 \u201cGreat companies start in garages all the time. Yours can too.\u201d You don\u2019t need a lot to start a company. Don\u2019t think you need a big office, lots of money, or huge corporate backing to get going with your ideas. Start!\np.32 \u201cWhenever you can, swap \u2018Let\u2019s think about it\u2019 for Let\u2019s decide on it.\u2019 Commit to making decisions. Don\u2019t wait for the perfect solution. Decide and move forward.\u201d \u2026 \u201cDecisions are progress.\u201d \u2026 \u201cYou\u2019re as likely to make a great call today as you are tomorrow.\u201d I tend to be one who gets stuck in analysis paralysis so the section spoke to me.\np. 36 \u201cUse whatever you\u2019ve got already or can afford cheaply. Then go. It\u2019s not the gear that matters. It\u2019s playing what you\u2019ve got as well as you can. Your tone is in you fingers.\u201d Anyone who is a musician understands this. Yet, I still get stuck sometimes thinking I need something else or something upgraded to get going.\np.37 \u201cWhen you impose a deadline, you gain clarity. It\u2019s the best way to get to that gut instinct that tells you, \u2018We don\u2019t need this.'\u201d\np.41 \u201cIf you\u2019re constantly staying late and working weekends, it\u2019s not because there\u2019s too much work to be done. It\u2019s because you\u2019re not getting enough done at work. And the reason is interruptions.\u201d Yup, that\u2019s me.\nP.91 \u201cInspiration is a magical thing, a productivity multiplier, a motivator. But it won\u2019t wait for you. Inspiration is a now thing. If it grabs you, grab it right back and put it to work.\u201d\nI have a bunch more notes and things I highlighted but I think you get the point. Either the book seems interesting to you by now or it doesn\u2019t.\nI found the book to be really inspiring and it made a lot of sense to me. If you get a chance, find a copy somewhere and thumb through it. See if what\u2019s being said can help you. I think you\u2019ll be pleased reading it.\nYou can get Rework and check some reviews on Amazon.\nHave you read Rework? What did you think?\nFiled Under: Business, Review Tagged With: Book Review, business book, rework\nYep-It grabbed me, even before you got to the page by page review. I appreciated your reference to \u201csimple.\u201d I\u2019m all about clear cut and simple but powerful ideas. I look forward to checking it out. I liked the style of the review.\nThanks Barb! I think you\u2019ll appreciate the book.",

He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, to Italian immigrants, Sinatra began his musical career in the swing era with bandleaders Harry James and Tommy Dorsey.\nSinatra found success as a solo artist after he signed with Columbia Records in 1943, becoming the idol of the \"bobby soxers\". He released his debut album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra, in 1946. Sinatra's professional career had stalled by the early 1950s, and he turned to Las Vegas, where he became one of its best known performers as part of the Rat Pack.\nHis career was reborn in 1953 with the success of From Here to Eternity, with his performance subsequently winning an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.\nWhile Sinatra never formally learned how to read music, he had an impressive understanding of it, and he worked very hard from a young age to improve his abilities in all aspects of music. A perfectionist, renowned for his dress sense and performing presence, he always insisted on recording live with his band. His bright blue eyes earned him the popular nickname \"Ol' Blue Eyes\". Sinatra led a colorful personal life, and was often involved in turbulent affairs with women, such as with his second wife Ava Gardner.\nHe went on to marry Mia Farrow in 1966 and Barbara Marx in 1976. Sinatra had several violent confrontations, usually with journalists he felt had crossed him, or work bosses with whom he had disagreements. He was honored at the Kennedy Center Honors in 1983, was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985, and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997.\nSinatra was also the recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. After his death, American music critic Robert Christgau called him \"the greatest singer of the 20th century\", and he continues to be seen as an iconic figure.",

The creation of this beautiful, Southwestern style theater was financed by a hardworking, wealthy entrepreneur, Oreste Bachechi, who wanted to fulfill a lifelong dream of building a grand theater, which would rival other larger than life movie palaces, that were springing up around the United States.\nMr. Bachechi wisely hired Carl Boller, who began research at once. Mr. Boller traveled around New Mexico, observing and visiting the Indian pueblos of Acoma and Isleta, and the Navajo Nation, becoming inspired to do a watercolor of his visionary movie theater design, which Mr. Bachechi loved at first sight. The gifted Mr. Boller had captured and \u201cfused the spirit of the Native American cultures of the Southwest with the exuberance of Art Deco.\u201d\nThe Original 1927 Stage, destroyed in a 1963 fire.\nThe interior of the KiMo Theater is stunning. One will find \u201cplaster ceiling beams textured to look like logs and painted with dance and hunt scenes, air vents disguised as Navajo rugs, chandeliers shaped like war drums and Native American funeral canoes, wrought iron birds descending the stairs and rows of garlanded buffalo skulls with eerie, glowing amber eyes.\u201d\nThe designs of Indian symbols were not chosen on a whim, but all reflected the history and culture of the native people and all meant something. The bright colors used also reflected Indian vocabulary. The crowning touch was of course the seven murals painted in oil by Carl Von Hassler, on the ceiling of the theater. Working from a platform hung from the ceiling, very much like Leonardo Da Vinci, Von Hassler spent months on his creative murals.\nAn elaborate Wurlitzer organ provided the music to complement the many silent films which were shown here.\nA year after the KiMo Theater opened, Mr. Bachechi died suddenly, leaving the KiMo theater to his sons, who expanded the scope of the theater by offering vaudeville and out-of-town road shows as well as continuing to show films.\nSilent films gave way to talkies and to theater performances by such artists as Vivian Vance, Sally Rand, Gloria Swanson, Tom Mix and Ginger Rogers.\nDuring the 1950s and \u201960s some accidents occurred. In 1951 an explosion of the boiler in the basement demolished part of the original lobby and killed a little boy. In 1963, a fire destroyed the original stage.\nLike many old grand theaters, it slipped into disrepair during the \u201960s and \u201970s to the point of being scheduled for the wrecking ball. It got a reprieve in 1977, when the citizens of Albuquerque got together and purchased the old theater with a $324,000 bond, which started the very long process of renovation and restoration. The last restoration project was completed in 2002, when the third floor was renovated.\nLike many old theaters, the KiMo theater seems to have a few unseen residents who enjoy the productions, one of whom will cause some mischief if conditions are not met to his satisfaction.\n1) An apparition of a lady in a bonnet can be seen walking down the halls of the theater, going about her business. Not much is known about her.\n2) Unfortunately, a little 6 year old boy, Bobby, was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was killed in the 1951 boiler explosion that destroyed part of the theater lobby. In the basement, right underneath the concession stand there was an eight gallon electrical water heater, to provide hot water for the theater cleanup after the shows. The little boy was sitting in the balcony with some friends when something on the screen scared him, causing him to run down the lobby staircase which leads up to the balcony, arriving right into the lobby just when things were exploding. The apparition of the little boy has been seen playing on the lobby staircase, wearing a striped shirt and blue jeans.\na) In 1988, someone unseen helped itself to some doughnuts which were left untouched by the living on a table in the stage area. Bite marks made by a little mouth could be seen on some of the doughnuts. To pamper their little ghost, crew members started to hang doughnuts on the water pipe that runs along the back wall of the theater behind the stage.\nb) A crew for a Christmas production of A Christmas Carol took down the stale doughnuts, which didn\u2019t please the little ghost one bit. The technical rehearsal before the first performance was a disaster, as everything went wrong! When new treats were hung on the wall the following day, everything went smoothly for the production.\nc) This scenario has happened many times since then. As long as treats are hung on the water pipe, everything works fine, goes smoothly as this child ghost is happy. If his treats are taken down and not replaced, disaster happens with the technical effects. Calm is restored immediately after hanging new treats on the pipe!\nBobby still haunts the theater and is well-behaved as long as his treats are hanging on the water pipe. I hope that someday a rescue seance can be performed to help him go to the other side.\nThe unknown woman apparition still walks the halls of the theater, on some unknown mission or task, just going about her business.\nKiMo Theater Web-Site\nThe National Directory of Haunted Places, Dennis William Hauck, Penguin Books, 1996\nCoast To Coast Ghosts, Leslie Rule, Andrew McMeel Publishing, 2001",

        "raw_content": "GL Education supports an innovative approach to assessment in Malaysian schools through three year partnership with MARA\n15 November 2017 (Bett Asia) - Leading international assessment provider, GL Education, has signed a three year partnership agreement with Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), which will see diagnostic and benchmarking assessments being used to support teaching and learning in a selection of Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM) across Malaysia.\nThe partnership supports MARA, an agency of the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development in Malaysia, in its mission to improve teaching, learning and student development. GL Education will support the partnership with a comprehensive series of training and workshops for teachers at Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM).\nGL Education\u2019s assessments are used by schools in the UK and around the world to understand students\u2019 potential, track their progress and identify any barriers to learning they may have. MRSM will use a complementary suite of assessments from GL Education, including the Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) (to identify potential), the New Group Reading Test and the Progress Test Series (to track progress in core subjects year-on-year) and the Pupil Attitudes to Self and School attitudinal survey (PASS) (to support student wellbeing).\nKamaruzaman Jaffar, Director of MARA Secondary Education Division, said: \u201cIn our continuous drive towards outstanding academic achievement, we also believe in the development of holistic individuals. As one of the prestigious boarding schools in Malaysia, Maktab Rendah Sains MARA is entrusted to produce students, who are from various socio-economic and education backgrounds, who excel in the fields of science, technology and entrepreneurship. We believe in tapping into the students\u2019 abilities and we therefore feel strongly about investing in tools that will enable teachers to identify and measure other domains of intelligence in our students.\n\u201cTo prepare our students for the challenges of the future, it is not only enough to gauge the students\u2019 scholastic attainment but we also need to be able to identify their cognitive abilities and higher order thinking skills in order to maximise their potential. Assessment tools such as CAT4, NGRT, the Progress Test Series and the PASS attitudinal survey will help teachers and education administrators to support this growth and provide the best learning experience for the students.\u201d\nH.E. Vicki Treadell CMG MVO, British High Commissioner to Malaysia, said: \u201cI wish to congratulate GL Education on its partnership with MARA. The partnership will see GL Education\u2019s innovative assessment tools being used to identify the needs of individual students in order to accelerate learning. The assessment system is to be rolled out in two MRSM in November 2017.\n\u201cThis is yet another example of the success of our Education is GREAT campaign, designed to support Malaysia\u2019s efforts to become an education hub in the region and to cement the UK\u2019s position as Malaysia\u2019s and ASEAN\u2019s education partner of choice.\u201d\nJames Neill, GL Education\u2019s International Director, said: \u201cThe desire to gain a complete picture of a student\u2019s skills and achievements in order to meet the challenges of an increasingly competitive world has resulted in governments, education ministries and schools around the world looking at assessment differently. MARA is taking an innovative approach to assessment and we are delighted to work with them in this way, supporting the development of their teachers and bringing benefits to thousands of children across Malaysia in the process.\u201d\nGL Education (known in the UK as GL Assessment) has a growing presence in British, bilingual and international schools in over 100 countries worldwide. We also provide assessment services to ministries of education and their agencies. For more information about GL Education, visit www.gl-education.com",

        "raw_content": "October 2, 2018 / Blakey Moor Townscape Heritage\nWorks to restore and bring back into use an historic town centre pub have been given the go ahead after the first grant application was approved by the Townscape Heritage Project Grants Panel.\n35 Northgate has been in use as a public house/hotel since it was built in the late 19th century, formerly the Ribblesdale Hotel and then more recently rebranded as Gladstones (1990s) and Baroque (2000s). It became vacant in 2014 when Baroque finally closed and was acquired by the Council in 2015 to secure its future.\nThe property\u2019s poor condition prevented its immediate reuse, but the building\u2019s historical and architectural significance, prominent location and obvious potential for food and drink meant that it was the perfect candidate for a Townscape Heritage Project Grant and presents a major opportunity to start the delivery of the multi-million pound cultural and economic regeneration of the area around King George\u2019s Hall.\nCouncillor Phil Riley, Executive Member for Regeneration said,\n\u201cThe restoration and reuse of Blackburn\u2019s heritage buildings is an important part of the town\u2019s development strategy. Not only will this project bring 35 Northgate back into commercial use, the investment will safeguard the building\u2019s long-term future and will, hopefully, bring another quality offer to the town centre.\u201d\nThe Townscape Heritage Grants Panel is an independent group of volunteers who will oversee the allocation and approval of the \u00a33 million funding secured to deliver the heritage-led regeneration project. Jointly funded by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund, the project will see up to 25 heritage buildings restored over the next 4 years including the Blakey Moor Terrace and properties on Northgate and Lord Street West.\nThe \u00a391,000 grant awarded to 35 Northgate will enable the Council to undertake essential structural repairs, conservation works to the external brick and stonework and restoration of the original timber framed windows. An additional \u00a370,000 from the Council will match the grant funding to complete phase I and see the property brought back to its former glory.\nConservation building and joinery contractors Rosslee Construction have been awarded the contract to deliver the works and their specialist heritage skills and experience formed a key part of the grant application.\nNadine Ray, Industrial Links Advisor at Blackburn College and Townscape Heritage Grants Panel volunteer said,\n\u201cThis is a fantastic project that will hopefully set the standard for building restoration in the area. We were particularly impressed by the quality of heritage skills training and work experience opportunities that Rosslee will provide to Blackburn Collage students as part of the project.\u201d\nThe Council will be seeking a developer/operator partner to deliver phase II, which will include the internal restorations and fitout. A number of local operators have already expressed an interest in the property for a variety of food and drink uses, but to secure the best end user the opportunity will be marketed nationally.\nAnyone wishing to express an interest in the property should contact Bradys commercial agents on 0161 8391213.\nAlso see 35 Northgate\nBuildings, Heritage Skills, Project, Training, Uncategorized\n\u2190 Gladstone\u2019s Axe",

        "raw_content": "Africa new focus for global giants (Pakistan Observer)\nA language is spreading rapidly in an important continent, the continent of Africa. This huge territory inhabited by a wonderful, vibrant people has had a tortured history, and to this day, parts of it are subject to unfair exploitation by countries from far away. An example of the latter is France, which still dominates several of its former colonies on the continent, some by military force. In what is still called \u201cFrench\u201d Africa despite colonialism supposedly having been eliminated long ago, French companies enjoy an advantage based on the influence of Paris in decision-making in such capitals. They seek to keep companies from other countries out, but these days are finding this difficult because some of these countries are far bigger than France, examples being India and China.\nHowever, this is not to say that the French will surrender their historical dominance without a fight. In the territory of Madagascar, for example, French companies are working hard to ensure that companies from Asia do not gain a toehold in a country that has remained desperately poor but which can emerge as an economic powerhouse once given genuine freedom from foreign predators. That the influence of businesses from Asia has been good for Africa can be seen from the fact that infrastructure in countries such as Kenya are rapidly improving because of such investment. For example, a modern railroad line on standard rather than narrow gauge has been built by a Chinese company operating in Kenya that has linked Mombasa to Nairobi.\nThe Chinese have been investing heavily in modern infrastructure in several African countries, something that was not done by European companies thus far. Not surprisingly, their companies are generating larger sales than those of competitors, including those from countries which were once the colonial masters of specific African companies, the British in the case of Kenya, a country where there is still a thriving British community involved in farming and in business, and which is contributing significantly to the Kenyan economy in the form of taxes and employment generated. Unlike France, the UK has not tried to retain its control over former colonies by inserting itself in their governance and in virtually selecting the governments that are in office in such quasi-colonies, usually with the assistance of French troops.\nHowever, globally the spread of French or Portuguese is far slower than in that of English. The language got a significant boost when the American colonists decided to choose the language over German as the lingua franca of the new state. Another advantage came from the Knowledge Industry, especially the internet, where far and away the most prolific language used is English. Now that the UK has moved away from the European Union, an effort is being made to banish English from the councils of the EU, leaving in place French. However, despite the warmth shown (at least in public) by Merkel and Macron, the reality is that Germans are far more comfortable learning English and speaking the language than they are French, despite the obvious charm of that language. Also, new members in the EU, especially in East Europe, are aware that leaning English is of far greater use to them than a similar effort in France, unless of course they wish to settle down in some former French colony in Africa or the South Pacific.\nOf course, even there the language is giving way to the international link language, given the exigencies of globalisation. The fact is that the biggest magnet is still the US, and in that country, the dominant language is English, although the rate of population growth of those speaking Spanish as either a first or a second language is rapid. Interestingly, India is a country whose leaders \u2013 especially those educated in the UK or in the US \u2013 have sought to downgrade the importance of English, refusing to allow it to be taught in government schools except very recently. There has been a strong class bias in such policies, as the same leaders who shower abuse at the international link language and those speaking it are precisely those who send their children to study abroad in Australia, the US, the UK or Canada.\nExamples are Laloo Yadav and Mulayam Singh Yadav, as also many in the BJP, who clearly do not want poorer people in India to get the opportunity they crave, which is to learn through English medium in government schools, the only education they can afford. A refreshing contrast has been the stand taken by the new Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, who has introduced English as a subject from the primary school level. Whether it be in Asia, Europe or Africa, the use of this global medium of communication has become widespread, although the same is yet to be the case in South America, where too governments in power have refused to teach English to their populations, confining much of learning through Spanish or Portuguese. The second language, especially, is useful only in a few corners of the globe apart from Brazil\nThe countries that speak English are known as the Anglosphere. Hence, in a modern Anglosphere, a country such as India (where over 300 million people speak some form or the other of English) should definitely be included, as should Singapore and South Africa, as also Kenya.\nSuch a 21st century Anglosphere would be a natural grouping of countries that could work together to promote values and growth. In such a context, the rapid growth of the international link language in Africa will assist in linking that continent with Asia. Indeed, such is the intention of the $ 150 billion Africa Initiative launched by Prime Ministers Modi and Abe of India and Japan respectively, and supported by the US. Hopefully, the growth of a common language will also result in a more accommodative approach towards disputes, so that war gets banished as an option of statecraft save against foes of humanity such as terrorists.\nhttp://pakobserver.net/africa-new-focus-global-giants/",

        "title": "The Writings of M D Nalapat: India at centre of ISIS recruitment drive (Sunday Guardian)",
        "raw_content": "India at centre of ISIS recruitment drive (Sunday Guardian)\nISIS has mutated into a form that is on the cusp of creating severe security challenges to the major powers, including India.\nDespite triumphal assertions from capitals such as Baghdad that ISIS has been \u201cdefeated\u201d in Iraq and Syria, and that its self-professed Caliph, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, is on the run, the organisation has, in reality, mutated into a form that is on the cusp of creating severe security challenges to the major powers, including India. In fact, this country has been given priority in recruitment efforts, in view of its (a) history, and (b) its large and technologically educated population. ISIS is a mutation of Al Qaeda and was formed in the aftermath of the 2011 \u201cArab Spring\u201d, when the perception took root within the Wahhabi extremists that the traditional rulership structures in Arab countries were disintegrating, and that this was their opportunity to move to a higher stage of deadliness. Around $13 billion in cash and weaponry flowed during 2011-13 to those who were described by intelligence agencies within NATO and its allies as \u201cfreedom fighters\u201d. The bulk of this went to groups that subsequently melded and outed themselves as ISIS. The assistance given to ISIS elements ensured the takeover of extensive territories in Iraq and Syria, especially during 2014. To date, these advances have not been fully rolled back, and as a consequence, ISIS has gained in traction and thereby won over several tens of thousands of committed fighters across the globe, with many more acting as auxiliaries and sympathisers. Among the reasons for its continuing lethality is the fact that to NATO and its allies, the Shia alliance (and its Russian partner) represents a bigger threat than ISIS, while to the regional partners of the United States, the Kurds are more deserving of attention by local militaries than ISIS. Turkey in particular has routinely assisted Wahhabi terror groups that are battling with US-backed Kurdish militias, thus far to no blowback from Washington.\nIDEA OF ISIS\nMore than exploding across some regions of Iraq, Syria and pockets in North and other parts of Africa, a worrisome factor is that the \u201cIdea of ISIS\u201d is not only still strong, but is gaining in potency across the globe. The theology of the organisation is minimal in a scholastic sense, with the emphasis being on the celebration of cruelty and the sanctification of acts of sadism and terror. During 2015-16, the absence of a knockout blow against ISIS by the Obama administration led to a spread of the belief among impressionable minds worldwide that the organisation is the seat of power of the \u201cCaliph\u201d, who will lead the war against the \u201cCrusaders\u201d. As effective is the fact that the primary method of indoctrination and spread used by ISIS is the internet, especially the \u201cDeep Web\u201d. This still remains an attractive, and largely undisrupted, channel. Video and other radical content may have declined in quantity and frequency, as declared by some ISIS-watchers, but more than numbers, what counts for the organisation is the fanaticism of those still signing up, and this is building up. Al Qaeda used as cannon fodder individuals with some familiarity with theology, such as those who carried out the 9/11 mass terror attacks on the US. However, many of those involved in acts traceable to ISIS have in the past shown almost no interest in organised religion, and have thereby escaped the radar of security agencies until it was too late. Since mid-2016, when cyber interception of ISIS websites and chats intensified, the Deep Web has become the platform of choice for key associates and affiliates, as well as the use of extensively accessed websites, including those of a pornographic nature, where chat traffic could get lost in the flood of \u201cadult\u201d commentary, especially when disguised in language that does not reveal the meaning and intent of the chats and messages sent and received, usually by users who are operating from public internet facilities and are therefore difficult to track down.\nMEANWHILE, IN INDIA\nSome analysts have been quick to declare that the Idea of ISIS has not really found a platform in India due to the syncretic nature of Indian Islam and the centuries of Sufism that has fashioned the religion in India as an assimilated and subcontinent-centric faith. It has even picked up the concept of caste from Hinduism, with the \u201cBrahmins\u201d being the Syeds and the \u201cVaishya\u201d being the Ansaris. However, terrorism is never about large numbers, except of victims. It is always the minority amongst the minority that drives recruitment. Since Narendra Modi took over as Prime Minister in 2014, there has been a drive to portray not just him, but the entire country as being intolerant and disrespectful of its minorities. In view of the steady expansion of the minority population in India, as compared to its near-elimination in Pakistan, as well as the travails experienced by Hindus in Bangladesh, it is ironic that Dhaka and Islamabad are the two centres from where online rants about \u201cIntolerant India\u201d are most frequent. The expectation is that the spread of such beliefs will facilitate recruitment of gullible individuals into the ISIS network, especially those with a background in technology. ISIS is looking to improve the sophistication of its surveillance, control and destructive methods, and needs high-quality and highly committed brainpower to ensure this, which is again why India has been made a priority. In this country, the continued onslaught of ISI-sponsored (but Hindu-named) elements, inspired acts of violence such as \u201cbeef lynchings\u201d etc., continue to feed into the global Hate India campaign of the ISI and its fellow travellers. This campaign is geared towards a widening of sectarian tensions and to instil fear in the minority community. The calculation of such elements is that even if 0.001% of 170 million Muslims in India radicalise to ISIS-Al Qaeda levels, India will have 1,700 recruits to extreme militancy. Given the small size of most of global ISIS cells, this number (once dispersed and organised) would be sufficient to cause more than a hundred thousand deaths through mass terror attacks.\nWINNING RECRUITS\nAn intelligence community estimate is that only about 300 Indians have as yet shown \u201cactive interest\u201d in ISIS, and that even fewer have participated in their campaigns. However, this is an underestimate. Ominously, ISIS-Al Qaeda\u2019s social media campaigns have begun acquiring sophistication. The videos are of better quality and are released more frequently and over a broader geographical area than before. Such programs are winning recruits that are seldom from ultra-religious backgrounds. Indeed, many come from moderate family backgrounds, yet get drawn to ISIS because of the confidence and simplicity of its message. Also, clever use is made of standard religious concepts to change the import. These include:\nTawhid: which rejects democracy as it is a \u201cman made\u201d law.\nJihad: defined exclusively as an armed struggle.\nTaqfir: the call to expel and expose unbelievers\nHijrat: Migration in the cause of jihad.\nISIS began its global campaign of terror four years ago by declaring itself as the first truly Islamic country since the medieval age. This assertion added to the belief among impressionable individuals bred on a diet of hatred and contempt for non-Wahhabis that the time had come for volunteers to undertake \u201cHijrat\u201d, but not necessarily to ISIS-controlled territories. This has instead come to mean not physical, but \u201cthought migration\u201d to the concepts and commands of the ISIS leadership. As a consequence, ISIS is shifting its focus from concentrations in specific territories to small (sometimes a single individual) groups that are dispersed across the globe and get into a mode of readiness to carry out \u201cLone Wolf\u201d (or \u201cWolf Pack\u201d) attacks in target states.\nThe process of radicalisation across the internet includes:\n(a) Online phishing: identifying those who are repeatedly making comments on violent posts or liking such posts, even though 99% attempts to recruit don\u2019t work.\n(b) Grooming a selected target via Telegram and through direct contact. Once trust is established, instructions are mostly on WickR, with messages self-destructing in one minute. Then the recruiter asks the target to produce a video or audio so that he can legitimately claim that the potential terrorist is an ISIS soldier. Thereafter, orders are given to attack in ways that have now been noted as the signature of ISIS terror strikes. The actual execution of the attack is usually through knife and vehicle attacks where guns are unavailable. While there is sometimes live streaming of terror attacks on Facebook, Periscope, Twitter etc., this is often dispensed with by fighters for fear of capture, even though the ISIS top command favours such methods as a means of demonstrating its continuing lethality. It has even claimed control for the recent Las Vegas shootings, but as yet no data has been released by US authorities about the internet surfing habits of the perpetrator or whether he had recently been in locations known to host clusters of ISIS facilitators and motivators.\nA study of about 900 ISIS fighters\u2019 data from online social media platforms was carried out six months ago by analysts based in the Middle East. The \u201clikes\u201d and \u201cmentions\u201d on tweets were tabulated in order to understand the influencers. The most influential of such hidden recruiters of ISIS were from the online world. The most important such recruiter was an Indian, based in Bangalore. The profile Shami Witness, was a major cheerleader at the age of only 20 years. 70% of those who went to Syria from all over the world relied on what Shami told them, only because he was continuously tweeting about the latest events. The presence of such individuals is why India needs to keep its resources focused on ISIS and Al Qaeda. Interestingly, less than 15% of jihadists in India, be they of the SIMI, Indian Mujahideen or other ultra-Wahhabi fronts, were educated in Islamic religious institutions. This trend is similar to that in the rest of the world, where numerous criminals and drug dealers, with zero association to religion joined ISIS and overnight became practitioners of terror and its plots, more because they were discards in regular European society and had no hope of resurrection.\nHOW TO COUNTER THE IDEA\nThe idea of the self-declared Caliphate, even if ISIS gets subjugated in the territorial war, can be fought only with a better idea, based on tenets revealed in the Holy Quran. Such a move is of immediate relevance in India, where action needs to be taken before the Idea of ISIS gains in acceptance. Theology as preached by ISIS essentially posits that a Muslim is not a Muslim if he does not follow the organisation\u2019s ultra-Wahhabi line. A grounding in the Indian practice of Islam can prevent Indian Muslims from straying to Wahhabism and Salafism. The need is to popularise the true religion in local languages, including Urdu, and not just allow the main vehicle for such dissemination to be Arabic. ISIS is conducting propaganda in 11 languages, hence the need to disseminate counter-content in Indian languages, so that the Sufi and moderate tendency continues to remain that of the mainstream in India, even while it is losing ground in Indonesia and seems to have largely lost the battle to Wahhabism in Pakistan.\nhttp://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/11275-india-centre-isis-recruitment-drive",

        "raw_content": "Home > Insights > It\u2019s Mostly Quiet On The GDPR Front \u2014 But This Is Not The Time For Complacency\nIt\u2019s Mostly Quiet On The GDPR Front \u2014 But This Is Not The Time For Complacency\nEnza Iannopollo, Senior Analyst\nSo where are all the GDPR enforcement actions? The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force at the end of May 2018, giving unprecedented powers to regulators. From ongoing regulatory audits to hefty fines and a range of new privacy requirements, the GDPR is the most dramatic change in data protection and governance in the last 20 years. Some firms are still completing their readiness plans, others are just waiting to see what happens next, and many are wondering why regulators have been so quiet over the last three months. Don\u2019t be lulled by the apparent calm. While data protection authorities (DPAs) highlight that investigations of this nature take months to complete, even in cases of clear infringements, there is a lot of activity underway:\nEnforcement actions have already begun. The German DPA of the state of Schleswig-Holstein has issued the first enforcement action. In line with GDPR, she banned a company from collecting and processing data acquired by a webcam connected to the internet. The regulator judged the intrusion of individuals\u2019 privacy disproportionate to achieving the legitimate interest of the company operating the webcam. They are now off to investigate organizations that use \u201cFacebook Insights\u201d as part of their websites, such as fan pages.\nUK regulators are also using the new GDPR powers. They\u2019ve already reported numerous activities regarding assessments and audits of firms\u2019 data protection practices.\nEuropean regulators are collecting a large number of data breach notifications. The Irish regulator alone has received over 1,000 in the first two months of GDPR enforcement. Not all the notifications trigger enforcement actions, but some certainly will.\nConsumers have already logged thousands of data protection complaints. And more are expected. The UK regulator has received almost three times as many complaints compared to last year. Consumers\u2019 reports of firms\u2019 poor practices with their personal data is an obvious way to initiate regulatory audits, investigations, and trigger big fines.\nWith this kind of activity keeping regulators busy, it\u2019s just a matter of time before we see severe regulatory enforcement actions and fines. Skeptical firms that have done nothing to prepare for GDPR, hoping for lack of enforcement, must act now. Craft a road map to meet the requirements, and start off with data flow mapping. Beyond actual infringements, regulators will also be keen to heavily sanction firms for inaction or ignorance about privacy and security risks. Firms that are completing their GDPR readiness plans must now shift to sustained compliance. GDPR is not a one-off exercise. Instead, it\u2019s an ongoing journey, and as such, it requires continuous data discovery and classification, automated risk assessments (including data protection impact assessments), dynamic due diligence on third parties, etc. Whatever maturity stage you are at, don\u2019t take GDPR purely as a compliance headache, but treat it as a strategic business project.\nYour biggest potential loss isn\u2019t a large GDPR fine; it will be the lost opportunity to use it as a powerful lever to raise customer trust and drive growth. Firms that were first to embrace GDPR consistently report improvements in their business outcomes, including their customer experience and data strategies. GDPR is also pushing firms to innovate and prepare to deliver services of the future. For example, the head of digital customer experience of a UK bank has included privacy and GDPR as prominent variables in determining the future evolution of the bank\u2019s services and customer experiences and made it a core element of his human-centered design work. A Spanish insurer is using customer journey analytics to power the privacy experience of its customers, and a US service provider has leveraged GDPR to update its customer contact strategy, inputting new discipline into building customer profiles and preferences, which translates into better customer engagement with more relevant and transparent interactions that promote trust.\nHappy Data Privacy Day \u2014 Five Lessons Learned On Regulatory Enforcement\nEnza Iannopollo\t3 weeks ago\nIn the United States, Europe, Canada, and India, January 28 is designated Data Privacy Day to mark the signing of the first legally binding, international treaty that dealt with data protection and privacy in 1981. Thirty-eight years later, technology has only further emphasized the need for privacy regulations and requirements. GDPR is the first step for [\u2026]",

        "raw_content": "Kate Siegel, John Gallagher Jr, Samantha Sloyan, Michael Trucco, Emma Graves\nMaddie (Siegel) is a hearing impaired and mute writer who lives alone in the woods with her cat. When a masked killer traps Maddie in her home, she must rely on her cunning and wit to survive.\nHush is a remarkable horror/thriller film that kept me on the edge of my seat for the duration of the film. While most films of this nature (slashers, thrillers etc) use sound in a big way to enhance the jump scares, Hush uses the absence of sound to enhance the anticipation and uncertainty.\nMaddie was portrayed magnificently by Siegel. This is especially true given that the cast consists of five people and a cat so there wasn\u2019t a lot to play off. You can feel the terror of the character emanating through the screen through the facial expressions, body language and actions of Siegel. It is a remarkable film to watch.\nSimilar to the minimalist cast, the film is entirely set in one location \u2014 Maddie\u2019s home. The small cast and single location add to the sense of isolation. You feel almost as trapped as Maddie does while watching her struggle against the lone psychopath.\nWhile it sticks to the best formula ingredients of great slasher horror/thriller films, Hush is refreshing and adds a new feel to the genre. I highly recommend Hush to fans of the horror and thriller genres.\n\u201cI can come in anytime I want. And I can get you anytime I want. But I\u2019m not going to. Not until it\u2019s time.

        "raw_content": "Veteran Artist Program\nBy: Jordan Rubio, Veteran Artist Program\nSince 2009, VAP has worked with national veteran and arts organizations to produce six music/theatrical live events, filmed three documentaries, one feature film, curated gallery exhibits, provided videography/photography services, and helped organize more than 30 community improvement projects, including painting two murals in Baltimore. VAP has conducted projects in New York City, San Francisco, Baltimore, Washington D.C., Chicago, Orlando and San Diego. Projects include the Arts, Military + Healing Initiative in D.C., the opening of Bloomberg\u2019sWorkforce1 Veteran Career Center in New York, the first-ever all veteran artist exhibit at the Pentagon and the Arts and Service Celebration in New York City. VAP\u2019s work has been seen on CNN, Fox News, ABC, BBC, MSNBC and covered by NPR, Baltimore Sun, The Washington Post, and The New York Times.\nVAP, a 501c3 nonprofit, takes artists who are also veterans, and propels their works and careers into the mainstream creative arts community through networking, mentorships, collaborations with professional artists, and original productions. We are based in New York City but are currently creating programming across the country to expand the network and visibility of veteran artists. VAP works across a variety of mediums including theatre, film, and art exhibitions.\nInterviews for \u201cThe Telling Project: Chicago\u201d\nAre you a veteran or family member of a veteran in the Chicago area? Here is your chance to tell your story as part of the acclaimed Telling Project and become part of the VAP family of artists making change across America.

        "raw_content": "How to Deduct Your Mortgage Interest and Equity Loan Costs\ntags: equity loan, IRS mortgage deduction, mortgage tax deduction, real estate, San Diego real estate\nWritten by: Richard Koreto for Client Direct\nThis article provides general information about tax laws and consequences, but shouldn\u2019t be relied upon as tax or legal advice applicable to particular transactions or circumstances. Consult a tax professional for such advice.\nDeducting mortgage interest is a great tax benefit that can make home ownership more affordable. Your first mortgage isn\u2019t the only loan that qualifies, either. In many cases, you can also deduct interest on home equity loans, second mortgages, and home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs.\nYou need to itemize your return to reap the benefits of these deductions. Calculations can be complicated, so consult a tax adviser.\nKnow your loan limits\nA good place to check out what you can deduct before you borrow is the chart on page 3 of IRS Publication 936. It\u2019ll walk you through the requirements you must meet to deduct all of your home loan interest.\nThe first hurdle you\u2019ll run into is the total amount of your loan or loans. In general, individuals and couples filing jointly can deduct interest on loans up to $1 million ($500,000 if you\u2019re married and filing separately). The money must have been used for acquisition costs \u2014 that is the cost to buy, build, or substantially improve a home, explains Scott O\u2019Sullivan, a certified public accountant with Margolin, Winer & Evens in Garden City, N.Y. Any interest paid on loan amounts above the $1 million threshold isn\u2019t deductible.\nThe same $1 million limit applies whether you have one home or two. Buying a vacation home doesn\u2019t double your loan limits. And two homes is the max; you can\u2019t deduct a mortgage for a third home. If you have a mortgage you took out before Oct. 13, 1987, you have fewer restrictions on claiming a full deduction. The calculations for \u201cgrandfathered debt\u201d can get complex, so get help from a tax professional or refer to IRS Publication 936.\nWhatever you do, don\u2019t forget that you can also deduct the points and fees associated with a first or second mortgage when you initially buy your home, says Jeff Rattiner, a CPA with JR Financial Group in Centennial, Colo. If you refinance the same house, you have to deduct those costs over the entire term of the loan. If you refinance again, you can deduct all the costs from the earlier refi in the year you take out the new loan.\nSpend loan proceeds wisely\nThe other limitation comes into play when you take out a home equity loan or HELOC, even if you don\u2019t use the proceeds to buy, build, or improve your home. In that case, you can deduct interest on up to $100,000 ($50,000 if married filing separately) on outstanding home equity debt. This loan limit also applies in a cash-out refi, in which you refinance and take out part of the equity you\u2019ve built up as cash, says John R. Lieberman, a CPA with Perelson Weiner in New York City.\nThat means if you decide to take out a $115,000 home equity loan to buy that Porsche, you can deduct the interest on the first $100,000 but not on the $15,000 that exceeds the limit. Use the same $115,000 to add a new bedroom, however, and the full amount is allowable under the $1 million cap. Keep in mind, though, that the $115,000 gets added into the pot of whatever else you owe on your other home loans. In many cases, points and loan origination costs for HELOCs are deductible.\nConsider this simplified scenario: You borrow $250,000 against your home at 8% interest. That means you\u2019ll pay $20,000 in interest the first year. Spend the $250,000 on home improvements, and all of the interest is deductible. Spend $150,000 on improvements and $100,000 on your kids\u2019 college tuition, and all the interest is still deductible.\nBut spend $100,000 on improvements and $150,000 on tuition, and the improvement outlays are deductible, though $50,000 of the tuition expense isn\u2019t. That\u2019ll cost you $4,000 in interest deductions. Preserve the $4,000 deduction by coming up with the extra money for tuition from another source, perhaps a low-interest student loan or by borrowing from a retirement plan. For someone in a 25% bracket, a $4,000 deduction lowers taxes by $1,000, plus applicable state income taxes.\nBeware the dreaded AMT\nEven if you\u2019ve followed all the loan limit rules, you can still get stuck paying tax on mortgage interest. How come? It\u2019s all thanks to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Congress created the AMT, which limits or eliminates many deductions, as a way to keep the wealthy from dodging their fair share of taxes.\nCalculating the AMT can be complex, but if you make more than $75,000 and have several kids or other deductions, you might well be subject to it. Problem is, if you fall into the AMT group, you may not be able to deduct interest on a home equity loan, even if the loan falls within the $1 million/$100,000 limit. If you\u2019re subject to the AMT and borrow money against the value of your home, you\u2019ll have to use it to buy, build, or improve your place, or you may not have a chance to deduct the interest, says Rattiner, the Colorado CPA.\n\u2190 School or Pool \u2013 Which factors more for home buyers\nThis Is Your Home\u2019s Most Valuable Asset \u2192",

        "raw_content": "If there\u2019s one thing that\u2019s in short supply in almost every organization, at every level, it\u2019s straight talk \u2013 candor. It\u2019s business\u2019s biggest dirty little secret that in most companies, most people would rather hide or spin the truth than share it, making it hard for everyone to bring the reality of the situation to the surface and fix it.\nThat\u2019s human nature, of course. We all have an innate instinct that tells us from a young age to prevent awkwardness and avoid hurting feelings. Or maybe we\u2019re afraid of the very real organizational consequences of being candid in a company culture that doesn\u2019t welcome openness.\nBut, assuming your organization wants it, getting candor right \u2013 with your reports, your peers, and your boss \u2013 is a skill that can make or break your career. Here\u2019s how to make it work with all three.\nSTRAIGHT TALK WITH YOUR TEAM\nWhen it comes to candor with your direct reports, the best approach is to have quarterly reviews where you sit down and say, \u201cHere\u2019s what you\u2019re doing well and here\u2019s what you need to do better.\u201d That way, there\u2019s no BS around it.\nThe word \u201cneed\u201d is very important because people tend to listen to what they\u2019re good at and they might not hear the tougher message if you soften it too much. Now, this process doesn\u2019t have to involve long HR forms and pages of documentation. It can be as simple as a handwritten note on a little card with the two columns above.\nThis kind of appraisal has to be done frequently \u2013 at least twice a year. At our management school, we do it quarterly. As a leader, the more you can give candid feedback, the more everybody wins. You win because you\u2019re not harboring it and becoming passive aggressive. The other person also benefits because they get what they need to improve.\nWe know someone who started her own company and she recently told us how she hired a good friend of hers who is now really screwing up her business. When we asked, \u201cHave you told him?\u201d, she said, \u201cOh, I know I should but I haven\u2019t done it yet. I\u2019m worried about hurting his feelings\u2026 But I\u2019m getting really passive-aggressive because I\u2019m so mad about it.\u201d\nIn this situation, everyone loses and the ending is never pretty.\nTHE PEER-TO-PEER MINEFIELD\nCandor in peer-to-peer discussions is almost always difficult, but avoiding it is never helpful. Say you\u2019re running Division X and the other guy running Division Y is mucking up your thing in X. But, you need Division Y\u2019s political, technical, or sales support for various reasons. How can you be candid and honest without sabotaging yourself?\nIn this situation, friendship will carry you a long way. We have an edict \u2013 love everyone you work with. If you cross purposes with someone at work, you\u2019ve got to remember that \u2014 \u201clove everyone.\u201d Keep it in a note in your drawer. If you start to see \u201cthem\u201d as the enemy and your teams get Balkanized, it\u2019s really important to say to yourself, \u201cThis is what I really like about this person. I\u2019m going to assume they have the best intentions. Let\u2019s have that candid conversation but not go in as enemies.\u201d\nTaking your colleagues out to lunch or going to dinner and really getting to know them is all the better. These days, you can type an email to somebody sitting in the next cubicle. But don\u2019t let technology replace relationships. One of our kids works in a company where all the employees in their group have lunch together every single day. It might seem old fashioned, but imagine how it helps the work. We are huge advocates of people being friends at work \u2014 it just changes everything.\ncareer must not do's, what not to do",

Already close to 3,000 people have registered to attend. Crucially we want the assembly to be focused around action.\nThe proposed declaration and action plan of the People\u2019s Assembly:\nThe declaration represents the beginning of a democratic process leading towards a second People\u2019s Assembly in early 2014. This declaration represents the views of all those who initially called for the People\u2019s Assembly. We hope it will be endorsed by the People\u2019s Assembly on 22nd June. It will then be open to the local People\u2019s Assembly\u2019s, union bodies and campaign groups who support the People\u2019s Assembly to suggest amendments, additions, or deletions. These will then all be discussed and decided upon at the recall People\u2019s Assembly in 2014.\nThe plans for action are simply the most obvious rallying points for a national anti-cuts movement for the remainder of 2013. They are not intended to supersede local or sectional action by existing campaigns or trade unions. They are intended to be focus national, collective action by the whole anti-austerity movement. Click here to see the draft declaration and action plan: http://thepeoplesassembly.org.uk/draft-statement/\nMost of the day will be based on sub-assemblies, broken into three sessions during the course of the day. This will total around 15 individual sessions devoted to discussing various aspects of the cuts and the fightback against them. The full timetable of workshops and sessions at the People\u2019s Assembly will be available by the end of next week.\nLooking forward to seeing you on the 22 June!\nPeople\u2019s Assembly Against Austerity Hosted by People\u2019s Assembly, Saturday, 22 June 2013 from 09:30 to 17:00 (BST) Central Hall Westminster, Storey\u2019s Gate, Westminster, London SW1H 9NH\n\u2190 Sussed gig \u2013 see you there?

He was always in a rush to get from one place to another without thinking about too much in between. Yes, he made time for his wife and kids on the weekend and even went to church every Sunday. Ken always had this ache inside knowing he needed to make time for what God wanted him to focus on in his life.\nOne Monday morning, Ken stopped into the local coffee shop. He usually left his SUV running in the parking lot so he could quickly get in and out. Ken was always running a little behind for a meeting or getting into the office. Today was not different. His daughter had wanted to show him some of her drawings over breakfast. As much as he wanted to see them, all he could think about was his morning meeting and his big project proposal. Usually the coffee shop he went to had a small line, but today as he jogged to the door, he could see a long line of people waiting at the register. He glanced down at his cell phone, making sure there was enough time. He was sure he couldn\u2019t function through his meeting today without more caffeine. Ken was agitated waiting and listening to the mundane conversations around him. He kept his head down ignoring the people around him. He flipped through his emails even though he wasn\u2019t looking for anything specific.\nAs Ken reached the counter to place his order, he stuffed his phone back into his pocket and ordered his usual. When he took his billfold out to pay, he finally looked up at the woman. She smiled and said there was no need for payment today. Ken was surprised as this was an unexpected gift. She informed him that someone had started to \u201cpay it forward\u201d about two hours ago when they first opened. It spawned a chain reaction all through the morning! The barista\u2019s smile was contagious. Ken couldn\u2019t help but stop to marvel over the kindness of strangers. He then took out a $10 bill from his wallet and handed it to the woman to keep the chain going.\nWhen Ken got back to his car, he took a second to thank God for this little reminder to slow down, appreciate the gift of life, and the people in his life. Whether or not they are perfect strangers paying for coffee, or close family, like his daughter! We are called to be people of God and everyone is our family.",

        "raw_content": "My submission is designed with the goal of being pragmatically simple, clear, and interactive in a way that aids both the doctor and the patient in keeping the patient healthy by identifying, solving, and mollifying problems. As a website that translate easily into a hardcopy, The Health Page is built as a tool that is useful both in the clinic, as well as for the patient at home. The top section of The Health Page is built as a compromise between giving the doctor what they need most quickly to help the patient as well as giving the patient the information most relevant to them. By including a very visible \"plan of action\" section as one of the first sections on the page, the doctor can provide the patient with information about what exactly they need to do to maintain their health. In the printed form, this plan of action will be more extensive, including discharge instructions highlighting what the patient must do most immediately. On the website, each entry in the plan of action will be linked to a description of the problem it is addressing. The design of the The Health Page leans on the data visualization principle of providing an overview with the ability to interactively dive in for more details. This is exemplified by the ubiquitous search boxes and filters, as well as the ability to rearrange and expand the test results. In talking with a few doctors, one of the biggest problems they faced was finding the information pertinent to their specialty amidst the sometimes many pages of medical notes. Comprehensive search boxes, which take into account not just the exact keyword, but also related words (i.e. \"ophthalmology\" should also show everything that includes the word \"eye\"), and the ability to quickly update and remove keywords will really facilitate the doctor's investigation. The results section is built to enable fast diagnosis, and in depth exploration. This is aided by the ability to rearrange and compare tests of completely different formats, including everything from blood tests to X-Ray images. Additionally, the use of small timelines in the results section allow the physician and patient to see how test results have changed over time, and whether the patient is making progress. In the hard copy version, the interactive search boxes will be removed, and all the information will be expanded and visible.\nPH_1.pdf (249 KB)",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Scholarships \u00bb Keys to Improving Your Awarding Process\nThe time of awarding scholarships can be one of the busiest times of year. While this time has the potential to be overwhelming, we want to provide you with some of the best practices we\u2019ve picked up over the years to help you create an efficient and productive awarding process. Consider these tips while you\u2019re preparing for your award season:\nCentralise your data to increase efficiency\nVery often, we come across schools that have a decentralised scholarship process. They have multiple departments overseeing scholarship awarding and no single way to get the job done efficiently. It\u2019s important to keep all data in the same spot and allow it to update in real-time to ensure that everyone involved in the scholarship process is on the same page.\nFocus on your applicants\nInstead of awarding based on your scholarships, look at each student to have a full view of what their overall need is and what they are most qualified for. This is useful in that it allows you to find the best scholarships for each student and provides some context around your awarding decisions.\nApplicant based awarding allows you to see all the awards a student has matched with and base your final decision on which ones they are most qualified for according to award requirements. This lets you to find the best possible match for each award, allowing you to stay compliant with award requirements and make your donors happy by finding the best person to receive those funds.\nAwarding by looking at your applicants allows you to see the full picture and make awarding decisions with some context in mind. You can see all a student\u2019s data as well as what awards they have already received, ensuring that you are not over-awarding. It also allows you to skip over students who have already received awards and move on to more qualified students still in need.\nAwarding can often be a busy and stressful time of year but by centralising all of your student data and focusing on your applicants when making final awards, you can save time, streamline your process, and make the best awards possible.\nFor more information about Blackbaud Award Managements you can visit this site.",

        "raw_content": "The Brown Tarantula Part 7\nCopyright Robert F. Sacco\nCharon stared out through the bulletproof window of his limo as the Winthrop Mansion became visible through the rain. He allowed his brain to chatter inanely about how sick and tired he was of the rain because he was hoping to drown out his real internal dialogue. He had only met once before with Caleb Winthrop. The day after he had become boss of bosses an invitation had been proffered and he had accepted. Not that he had been given a lot of choice in the matter. Caleb Winthrop was a multibillionaire with fingers in every pie. He owned controlling Interests in oil companies, computer companies, movie studios, banks and presidential administrations. Hell, he probably owned whole countries. He had been very straightforward with Charon. He told him how much of the street revenue would come to Winthrop (a meager two percent), what neighborhoods could be worked, which to avoid and what he could expect in return for obeying these rules (long life and no federal interference). He wasn't sure why Winthrop even wanted the money. Surely his legitimate enterprises made him so much money that his tiny take from the streets was merely a drop in the bucket. In the end he had just chalked it up to ego. How did the line from the song go? \"King ain't satisfied until he owns everything\"? He did know one thing though. Yesterday morning he put a bullet in the head of a man who had failed to control his territory and today he was going to be taken to task for the same thing.\nOne thing that he had to give to Winthrop, he did have class. The limo was met at the steps to the main entrance of the mansion by a butler and two maids holding open umbrellas for himself, Manny and Bill. Well, it would be nice to be dry while waiting to die he thought. The walk up the stairs, through the main hall and through a maze of corridors until they reached what seemed to be an ultra modern office complex took ten minutes. Charon was a multimillionaire but he couldn't even dream about how much money it cost to run an operation like this. He, Manny and Bill were shown into a large conference room. Already present was Caleb Winthrop looking like Sydney Greenstreet in an old Bogie movie, but, with a more muscular physique, and eight or nine people who rushed around like servants with Blackberries and I-Phones buzzing. Above and behind Winthrop were three large flat screens with images of three other individuals with similar conference rooms and similar staffs. Charon thought he recognized one of them as being some South American bigwig but he wasn't sure, he wasn't a big news watcher.\nCharon was startled by the sheer number of people privy to this meeting. The more people who witness an event, the more likely it is that someone will talk somewhere down the line. At least that's the way it had always been in the mobs he had traveled with. \"Ah, Mr. Charon, thank you for making room for me in your schedule. I know that you have some problems at the moment that require your full attention. I'll try to get you out of here as quickly as possible\" Winthrop began. \"I'm not sure I understand.\" Charon said, becoming confused. Winthrop actually paused from what he was doing on a notebook computer that was sitting on the conference table, pulled his glasses down further on his nose so he could look over them and turned his attention to Charon's face. Then he chuckled. \"Gentlemen, I think Mr. Charon believes that he's here to have his employment terminated.\" Two of the three men on the large screen chuckled as well. The third smiled, but had a look in his eye that made Charon think that the man smiled because he was imagining the termination. \"Mr. Charon, we're both businessmen. We both know that failure, and betrayal, are things that need to be dealt with efficiently and swiftly, but, I don't think you've had the opportunity to betray me\u2026\" an aid pointed to something on Winthrop's laptop screen, causing Winthrop to pause for a moment, push his glasses back into place and glance at the screen before turning back to Caleb, \"yet\u2026\" He continued\u2026. \"And, the last two days are not your failure, but mine.\" Charon was just getting more confused. \"There is no way that you could have stopped the Tarantula. His armor and automobile are very powerful devices. I dare say, while it's possible that a thug with a gun could get lucky and bring him down, it would take a genius with access to very advanced technology to make his demise a sure thing. I was aware that this particular problem could rear its ugly head and I'm afraid I didn't take it seriously enough to give you fair warning or help you prepare. So relax sir. You're here so that I can help you with this, bump in the road.\"\nCharon breathed a sigh of relief. \"So you've got a weapon, or, a plan?\" He questioned. \"Well..\" Winthrop started \"Not yet. The only way we're going to beat the Spynrotix armor is to out think it. It likes to accomplish more than one goal at a time. It is very efficient that way. Its current goals will be to finish off you and your organization, while learning about me and mine. The only way that it will be able to learn about my influence on your operation is to learn about your connections to government and international criminal organizations. In order to set a workable trap for him, I'll have to deduce which of our mutual associates' identities he will be able to deduce based on their reactions to his war on you. I must admit to being rather a big picture fellow so I don't know all of the sundry and sorted details of the day to day of your operation. We're going to need to pull that detail out of your head and try to see what the Tarantula sees.\" \"Well\u2026 that's gonna take some time. We'd better get started.\" Charon said, still not really sure what Winthrop was talking about but glad to hear that he wasn't about to be executed and eager for the help that Winthrop seemed to be offering. He began to take off his trench coat and pull out a chair to sit at the conference table when Winthrop said \"Oh no no no no\u2026 none of us have the time for you to sit down and relate all of the intimate details of your family business to us. Plus, like most, humans, you're likely to miss some important detail and, really, all the data is going to need to be analyzed by a rather brilliant war computer that we are justifiably proud of. No, I said that advanced technology was going to be necessary and, we have it.\" He gestured to a man who wore the white corduroys, scrubs, shoes and lab coat of a hospital worker. \"John here will take you down to my personal medical facility and we will be able to extract the information we need directly from your brain.\"\nThis story has fifteen parts, links to the other parts will be posted below as they are published.\nOther Parts of the Story\nThe Brown Tarantula Parts 2, 5, 8 & 11\nThe Brown Tarantula Parts 3 & 6\nThe Brown Tarantula Parts 9 & 12\nThe Brown Tarantula Part 10\nThe Whole Story of the Brown Tarantula Including Chapters 13, 14 & 15\nHow I Did Not Get Fired\nHow Many Dwarf Planets Are in the Solar System?\nWorld War II: Hitler and Spain\nVoluntaryist Superhero Returns to Fight Statist Evil",

Before about 60 people, he advocated for the fundamental underpinnings of U.S. President Barack Obama\u2019s Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights and the general privacy blueprint he\u2019s helped craft as co-chair of the Internet Policy Task Force and the National Science and Technology Council\u2019s Subcommittee on Commercial Data Privacy.\nKerry noted, \u201cPresident Obama\u2019s eloquent statement that privacy is embedded in American values and American law, starting with our Bill of Rights, and enshrined in a broad range of laws in specific sectors,\u201d but also said, \u201cWe can do better.\u201d\nBy the thrust of his comments, it was clear he not only felt improvement could be found in better protections for consumers\u2014advocating for \u201crespect for context, access to personal data\u2026focused collection\u2026(and) accountability\u201d\u2014but also in finding more common ground with the EU.\n\u201cA number of the practices,\u201d Kerry said, \u201cthat the EU has proposed\u2014the use of CPOs, impact statements, data breach laws\u2014are things that have been widely adopted in the U.S.\u201d\nHowever, he said, \u201cWe have expressed concerns about ways that their legislation may hinder efforts at interoperability by proposing things that are not technologically or commercially feasible.\u201d He said the EU\u2019s current direction could lead to a place where the EU is dictating standards rather than allowing a public-private process to form those standards based on agreed-upon principles.\n\u201cIt\u2019s critical that they not rush this process,\u201d Kerry said, \u201cthat they understand the complexity and the broad impact it will have, the risk of unforeseen consequences to consumers as well as innovation and to growth. Ultimately, we share the same goals. We share the same founding principles\u2026We need to build on that. We need to be sure as we move forward that we come closer together and that our systems can work together, that we do not make regulation of privacy, regulation relating to the Internet, a new set of non-tariff barriers to trade.\u201d\nNor is that trade a minor matter. Kerry noted as many as 15 million jobs rely on U.S.-EU trade. Later in the seminar, Department of Commerce Safe Harbor Administrator Christopher Hoff put the trade figure at $783 billion annually.\n\u201cIt\u2019s critical that we make these systems work together,\u201d Kerry said.",

        "title": "Balancing Fairness and Efficiency \u2013 Shiksha IAS Academy: Call @9986102277",
        "raw_content": "Balancing Fairness and Efficiency\nOne common criticism of economics is that it focuses too much on efficiency, and not enough on things like equality, fairness and the welfare of future generations. Many economic issues involve conflict between efficiency and fairness.\nFor example, free trade is widely believed by economists to be good for efficiency based on the principle of comparative advantage. Efficiency in this case means greater total output. But free trade also means that the less cost efficient domestic industries will be eliminated by cheaper imports.\nAlthough the gain for the economy exceeds the loss of the less competitive industries, these benefits accrue mostly to those employed in the more efficient domestic industries.\nHowever, of late, people are questioning the traditional assumption that fairness is irrelevant to economic analysis.\nWhat is \u2018Efficiency\u2019?\nThere are two versions of efficiency in economics- Pareto efficiency and Perfect efficiency.\nPareto efficiency: It is named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. Basically, it\u2019s just the same thing as gross domestic product. According to this definition, the more things we produce\u2014including goods like TVs and cars\u2014the fewer resources we are wasting.\nPerfect efficiency: It is also called Pareto optimality. It is a situation in which the economy is so efficient that it\u2019s impossible to give one person more without taking something away from someone else. Simply put, perfect efficiency is a world where there really is no free lunch.\nWhy economists mostly focus on efficiency?\nEconomists focus on efficiency for several reasons. Some of them are-\nIt is probably historical. According to historian Adam Tooze, government attention to economic statistics increased dramatically after World War I. The US, with its massive economic output, had tipped the scales decisively in favour of the Allies, so total output was believed to be an indication of warfighting strength. That logic seemed to repeat itself in World War II, and again in the Cold War, in which the US is widely believed to have outspent the Soviet Union. Greater economic efficiency probably means a more powerful nation.\nThe second reason economists focus on efficiency is that it\u2019s clear and unambiguous. Human welfare, on the other hand, is tricky to define. Economists usually shy away from taking a stand on difficult philosophical questions involving human welfare, and stick to thinking about what will boost GDP.\nArguments against this concept:\nThe critics cite many flaws in this concept-\nThe most obvious flaw in the efficiency concept is the question of time\u2014 by producing more today, we leave fewer resources for our descendants. A policy that is Pareto optimal today may be robbing from our unborn grandchildren. Thus, static efficiency, or efficiency in the present, isn\u2019t always the same as dynamic efficiency.\nAccording to this concept, it makes sense to divert some of the gain from the gainers to compensate the losers. But politically and administratively, trade adjustment assistance has been difficult to implement. The issues involve the scope, the length, and the amount of compensation.\nAnd also, needless to say, those who gain are less than eager to share their fortune with those who lose.\nArguments in favour of this concept:\nSupporters of this concept defend by citing the following reasons-\nEconomic growth usually does enrich the poor as well as the rich. Even the past few decades of global growth, which have seen inequality increase in rich nations, have produced huge gains for the world\u2019s poor, and reduced global inequality in the bargain.\nEfficiency really does capture how many economic arrangements are simply suboptimal. New policies and institutions really can make things better for everybody.\nThe cultivation of fairness with efficiency maximization, yields greater enhancements of social welfare than efficiency alone, by simultaneously satisfying the criteria of both.\nThe most significant conclusion is that efficiency and fairness concerns do not conflict but rather mutually support each other in the goal of maximizing social welfare. This is contrary to the more widely-held view by many that a trade-off between fairness and efficiency is inevitable. The real strength of the efficiency concept is that it focuses on gradual improvement. Instead of trying to radically reorganize society from the ground up, efficiency focuses on finding institutional or policy tweaks that make everyone just a little better off. So far, the history has also shown that gradual reform is the best way to improve the world.\nNext postThe case against customary exclusion",

        "raw_content": "For the related design concept, see Universal design. For the logical notion, see Accessibility relation. For accessibility on the internet, see Web accessibility.\nPersonal care assistant (ADLs)\nAccessibility refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people who experience disabilities.[1] The concept of accessible design and practice of accessible development ensures both \"direct access\" (i.e. unassisted) and \"indirect access\" meaning compatibility with a person's assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).\nAccessibility can be viewed as the \"ability to access\" and benefit from some system or entity. The concept focuses on enabling access for people with disabilities, or special needs, or enabling access through the use of assistive technology; however, research and development in accessibility brings benefits to everyone.[2][3][4][5][6]\nAccessibility is not to be confused with usability, which is the extent to which a product (such as a device, service, or environment) can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in a specified context of use.\nAccessibility is strongly related to universal design which is the process of creating products that are usable by people with the widest possible range of abilities, operating within the widest possible range of situations. This is about making things accessible to all people (whether they have a disability or not).\nUniversal access is provided in Curitiba's public transport system, Brazil.\nThe disability rights movement advocates equal access to social, political, and economic life which includes not only physical access but access to the same tools, services, organizations and facilities for which everyone pays (e.g., museums[7]). Article 9 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities commits signatories to provide for full accessibility in their countries.\nThis is the internationally recognized symbol for accessibility.\nWhile it is often used to describe facilities or amenities to assist people with impaired mobility, through the provision of facilities like wheelchair ramps, the term can extend include other types of disability. Accessible facilities therefore extend to areas such as Braille signage, elevators, audio signals at pedestrian crossings, walkway contours, website design and reading accessibility.\nGovernment mandates including Section 508, WCAG, DDA are all enforcing practices to standardize accessibility testing engineering in product development.\nAccessibility modifications may be required to enable persons with disabilities to gain access to education, employment, transportation, housing, recreation, or even simply to exercise their right to vote.\nVarious countries have legislation requiring physical accessibility which are (in order of enactment):\nIn the US, under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, new public and private business construction generally must be accessible. Existing private businesses are required to increase the accessibility of their facilities when making any other renovations in proportion to the cost of the other renovations. The United States Access Board is \"A Federal Agency Committed to Accessible Design for People with Disabilities.\" The Job Accommodation Network discusses accommodations for people with disabilities in the workplace. Many states in the US have their own disability laws.\nIn Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 has numerous provisions for accessibility.\nIn Canada, relevant federal legislation includes the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Employment Equity Act, and the Canadian Labour Code.\nIn Norway, the Discrimination and Accessibility Act Diskriminerings- og tilgjengelighetsloven defines lack of accessibility as discrimination and obliges public authorities to implement universal design in their areas. The Act refers to issue-specific legislation regarding accessibility in e.g. ICT, the built environment, transport and education. [8]\nIn the UK, the Equality Act 2010 has numerous provisions for accessibility.\nIn South Africa the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act 2000 has numerous provisions for accessibility.\nIn Sri Lanka, the Supreme Court, on 27 April 2011 gave a landmark order to boost the inherent right of disabled persons to have unhindered access to public buildings and facilities.[9]\nLegislation may also be enacted on a state, provincial or local level. In Ontario, Canada, the Ontarians with Disabilities Act of 2001 is meant to \"improve the identification, removal and prevention of barriers faced by persons with disabilities...\"\nThe European Union (EU), which has signed the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, also has adopted a European Disability Strategy for 2010-20. The Strategy includes the following goals, among others:[10]\ndevising policies for inclusive, high-quality education;\nensuring the European Platform Against Poverty includes a special focus on people with disabilities (the forum brings together experts who share best practices and experience);\nworking towards the recognition of disability cards throughout the EU to ensure equal treatment when working, living or travelling in the bloc\ndeveloping accessibility standards for voting premises and campaign material;\ntaking the rights of people with disabilities into account in external development programmes and for EU candidate countries.\nA European Accessibility Act was proposed in late 2012.[11] This Act would establish standards within member countries for accessible products, services, and public buildings. The harmonization of accessibility standards within the EU \"would facilitate the social integration of persons with disabilities and the elderly and their mobility across member states, thereby also fostering the free movement principle\".[12]\nAssistive technology and adaptive technology\nThis Birmingham, West Midlands, Opportunities Fair was held to help persons with disabilities, and carers, to find out what services, support and opportunities are available to them.\nAssistive technology is the creation of a new device that assists a person in completing a task that would otherwise be impossible. Some examples include new computer software programs, and inventions such as assistive listening devices, including hearing aids, and traffic lights with a standard color code that enables colorblind individuals to understand the correct signal.\nAdaptive technology is the modification, or adaptation, of existing devices, methods, or the creation of new uses for existing devices, to enable a person to complete a task. Examples include the use of remote controls, and the autocomplete (word completion) feature in computer word processing programs, which both help individuals with mobility impairments to complete tasks. Adaptations to wheelchair tires are another example; widening the tires enables wheelchair users to move over soft surfaces, such as deep snow on ski hills, and sandy beaches.\nAssistive technology and adaptive technology have a key role in developing the means for people with disabilities to live more independently, and to more fully participate in mainstream society. In order to have access to assistive or adaptive technology, however, educating the public and even legislating requirements to incorporate this technology have been necessary.\nWilliam P. Milton, Jr., Deputy Director, Office of Human Resources Management explained the \u201cFour Easy Steps to Hiring Qualified Applicants with Disabilities\u201d to United States Department of Agriculture employees during a 2011 National Disability Employment Awareness Month event in Washington, DC, USA.\nAccessibility of employment covers a wide range of issues, from skills training, to occupational therapy, finding employment, and retaining employment.\nEmployment rates for workers with disabilities are lower than for the general workforce. Workers in Western countries fare relatively well, having access to more services and training as well as legal protections against employment discrimination. Despite this, in the United States the 2012 unemployment rate for workers with disabilities was 12.9%, while it was 7.3% for workers without disabilities.[13] More than half of workers with disabilities (52%) earned less than $25,000 in the previous year, compared with just 38% of workers with no disabilities. This translates into an earnings gap where individuals with disabilities earn about 25 percent less of what workers without disabilities earn.Among occupations with 100,000 or more people, dishwashers had the highest disability rate (14.3%), followed by refuse and recyclable material collectors (12.7%), personal care aides (11.9%), and janitors and building cleaners (11.8%). The rates for refuse and recyclable material collectors, personal care aides, and janitors and building cleaners were not statistically different from one another.[14]\nSurveys of non-Western countries are limited, but the available statistics also indicate fewer jobs being filled by workers with disabilities. In India, a large 1999 survey found that \"of the 'top 100 multinational companies' in the country [...] the employment rate of persons with disabilities in the private sector was a mere 0.28%, 0.05% in multinational companies and only 0.58% in the top 100 IT companies in the country\".[15] India, like much of the world, has large sections of the economy that are without strong regulation or social protections, such as the informal economy. Other factors have been cited as contributing to the high unemployment rate, such as public service regulations. Although employment for workers with disabilities is higher in the public sector due to hiring programs targeting persons with disabilities, regulations currently restrict types of work available to persons with disabilities: \"Disability-specific employment reservations are limited to the public sector and a large number of the reserved positions continue to be vacant despite nearly two decades of enactment of the PWD Act\".[15]\nExpenses related to adaptive or assistive technology required to participate in the workforce may be tax deductible expenses for individuals with a medical practitioner's prescription in some jurisdictions.\nDisability Management (DM)\nDisability Management (DM) is a specialized area of human resources, to support efforts by employers to better integrate and retain workers with disabilities. Some workplaces have policies in place to provide \"reasonable accommodation\" for employees with disabilities, however, many do not. In some jurisdictions, employers may have legal requirements to end discrimination against persons with disabilities.\nIt has been noted by researchers that where accommodations are in place for employees with disabilities, these frequently apply to individuals with \"pre-determined or apparent disabilities as determined by national social protection or Equality Authorities\",[16] which include persons with pre-existing conditions who receive an official disability designation. One of the biggest challenges for employers is in developing policies and practises to manage employees who develop disabilities during the course of employment. Even where these exist, they tend to focus on workplace injuries, overlooking job retention challenges faced by employees who acquire a non-occupation injury or illness. Protecting employability is a factor that can help close the unemployment gap for persons with disabilities.[16]\nMeeting and conference access\nMeetings and conferences should consider the needs of all of their participants. Checklists such as this may make it easier to identify specific needs:[17]\nBarrier-free meeting rooms / restrooms / podium/speaker's platform\nADA Compliant Ramp Access to businesses and public places[18]\nAccessible lodging\nHearing access\nAdvance copies of papers\nAn assistive listening system\nA quiet place to gather for social conversation (a quieter space that is still visible to others should be reserved at social events or dinners so that people who are hard of hearing may go there to talk with their colleagues.)\nTTY access or Internet-based TRS\nSight access\nLarge print/braille copies of the program and papers\nA student volunteer to guide and describe the artwork, computer work, etc.\nA tech to help with assistive devices and screen readers (e.g., JAWS)\nGloves to touch three dimensional work (where permissible)\nNotification if social events include flashing lights and noises (these can cause seizures, so either avoid them or announce them ahead of time).\nNotices asking participants to refrain from allergy-producing problems (e.g., perfumes)\nInform food providers of food allergies (e.g., peanuts, shellfish, etc.)\nReferral information for local personal care attendant agencies\nReferral information for veterinarian care for service animals\nAccess to a place to rest during the day (if the conference venue is far from the lodgings)\nAccessibility based planning is a spatial planning methodology that centralises goals of people and businesses and defines accessibility policy as enhancing people and business opportunities. Traditionally, urban transportation planning has mainly focused on the efficiency of the transport system itself and is often responding to plans made by spatial planners. Such an approach neglects the influence of interventions in the transport system on broader and often conflicting economic, social and environmental goals. Accessibility based planning defines accessibility as the amount of services and jobs people can access within a certain travel time, considering one or more modes of transport such as walking, cycling, driving or public transport. Using this definition accessibility does not only relate to the qualities of the transport system (e.g. travel speed, time or costs), but also to the qualities of the land use system (e.g. densities and mixes of opportunities). It thus provides planners with the possibility to understand interdependencies between transport and land use development. Accessibility planning opens the floor to a more normative approach to transportation planning involving different actors. For politicians, citizens and firms it might be easier to discuss the quality of access to education, services and markets than it is to discuss the inefficiencies of the transport system itself.\nAccessibility instruments\nGenerally since the 1960s, accessibility instruments have been developed for a multitude of contexts and scopes. These instruments have their focus on origins and on destinations, they measure access through time, distance or cost and focus on different modes of transportation and geographical scales. Accessibility instruments are thus able to show what are the best accessible places or opportunities within a city or region, considering one or more specific modes of transportation, timeslots and target groups. In addition to this, the maps, which are produced as the instrument output, are considered as considerably useful when assessing the effects of new developments in a city. The first ever first large scale compendium of accessibility instruments was developed in 2012, under the framework of Cost Action TU1002, and is available.[19]\nPotentials of accessibility in planning practice\nDespite the high potential of accessibility in integrating the different components of urban planning, such as land use and transportation and the large number of accessibility instruments available in the research literature, the latter are not widely used to support urban planning practices.[20] By keeping the accessibility language out of the practice level, older paradigms resist the more informed and people-centred approaches. Focusing on the link between research and practice, the Cost Action TU1002 seeks to find out why accessibility instruments are not more often used in urban planning practice and reflects on how to reduce such implementation gap in planning practice. The existence of accessibility instruments is fairly acknowledged, but practitioners do not appear to have found them useful or usable enough for addressing the tasks of sustainable urban management. This Cost Action TU1002 is bringing together developers of accessibility instruments all over Europe and Australia to work with land use and transportation planning practitioners to explore how these instruments can play a more supportive role in enhancing accessibility in European cities and beyond. So far, 24 Accessibility Instruments have been gathered, analysed and described so as to understand in detail their characteristics, planning issues addressed and specific purposes, according to the developers\u2019 view. In turn, these instruments are being tested in a series of workshops with multidisciplinary teams of practitioners around Europe addressing the issue of usability from the practitioners\u2019 viewpoint. In doing so, it is expected that the additional knowledge on the potential of accessibility instruments for urban planning practice will have beneficial impacts on urban quality and decision making on urban land use patterns.\nAccessibility to all buses is provided in Curitiba's public transport system, Brazil.\nAn elevator at Taipei Railway Station allowing for wheelchair access.\nA wheelchair accessible taxi with a rear ramp, Tokyo Motor Show 2009.\nWheelchair-access ramp in Protram 205 WrAs tram.\nIn transportation, accessibility refers to the ease of reaching destinations. Academics have disputed how the term \"ease\" should be defined and measured. People who are in places that are highly accessible can reach many other activities or destinations quickly, people in inaccessible places can reach fewer places in the same amount of time.\nA measure that is often used is to measure accessibility in a traffic analysis zone i is: where:\n= index of origin zones\n= index of destination zones\n= function of generalized travel cost (so that nearer or less expensive places are weighted more than farther or more expensive places).\nFor a non-motorized mode of transport, such as walking or cycling, the generalized travel cost may include additional factors such as safety or gradient.\nTransport for London utilise a calculated approach known as Public Transport Accessibility Level (PTAL) that uses the distance from any point to the nearest public transport stops, and service frequency at those stops, to assess the accessibility of a site to public transport services.\nAdapted automobiles for persons with disabilities\nSee also: Adapted automobile\nAutomobile accessibility also refers to ease of use by disabled people. Automobiles, whether a car or a van, can be adapted for a range of physical disabilities. Foot pedals can be raised, or replaced with hand-controlled devices. Wheelchair hoists, lifts or ramps may be customized according to the needs of the driver. Ergonomic adaptations, such as a lumbar support cushion, may also be needed.[21]\nGenerally, the more limiting the disability, the more expensive the adaptation needed for the vehicle. Financial assistance is available through some organizations, such as Motability in the United Kingdom, which requires a contribution by the prospective vehicle owner. Motability makes vehicles available for purchase or lease.[22]\nWhen an employee with a disability requires an adapted car for work use, the employee does not have to pay for a \"reasonable adjustment\" in the United Kingdom; if the employer is unable to pay the cost, assistance is offered by government programs.[23]\n\"Low floor\" redirects here\nSee also: Low-floor bus and Low-floor tram\nA significant development in transportation, and public transport in particular, to achieve accessibility, is the move to \"low-floor\" vehicles. In a low-floor vehicle, access to part or all of the passenger cabin is unobstructed from one or more entrances by the presence of steps, enabling easier access for the infirm or people with push chairs. A further aspect may be that the entrance and corridors are wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair. Low-floor vehicles have been developed for buses, trolleybuses and trams.\nA low floor in the vehicular sense is normally combined in a conceptual meaning with normal pedestrian access from a standard kerb height. However, the accessibility of a low-floor vehicle can also be utilised from slightly raising portions of kerb at bus stops, or through use of level boarding bus rapid transit 'stations' or tram stops. The combination of access from a kerb was the technological development of the 1990s, as step-free interior layouts for buses had existed in some cases for decades, with entrance steps being introduced as chassis designs and overall height regulations changed.\nLow-floor buses may also be designed with special height adjustment controls that permit a stationary bus to temporarily lower itself to ground level, permitting wheelchair access. This is referred to as a kneeling bus.\nAt rapid transit systems, vehicles generally have floors in the same height as the platforms but the stations are often underground or elevated, so accessibility there isn't a question of providing low-floor vehicles, but providing a step-free access from street level to the platforms (generally by elevators, which are somewhere restricted to disabled passengers only, so that the step-free access isn't obstructed by healthy people taking advantage).\nAccessibility planning for transportation in the United Kingdom\nIn the United Kingdom, local transport authorities are responsible for checking that all people who live within their area can access essential opportunities and services, and where gaps in provision are identified the local authorities are responsible for organizing changes to make new connections. These requirements are defined in the UK Community Planning Acts legislation and more detailed guidance has been issued by the Department for Transport for each local authority. This includes the requirement to produce an Accessibility Plan under Community Planning legislation and to incorporate this within their Local Transport Plan. An Accessibility Plan sets out how each local authority plans to improve access to employment, learning, health care, food shops and other services of local importance, particularly for disadvantaged groups and areas. Accessibility targets are defined in the accessibility plans, these are often the distance or time to access services by different modes of transport including walking, cycling and public transport.\nAccessibility Planning was introduced as a result of the report \"Making the Connections: Final Report on Transport and Social Exclusion\".[24] This report was the result of research carried out by the Social Exclusion Unit. The United Kingdom also has a \"code of practice\" for making train and stations accessible: \"Accessible Train and Station Design for Disabled People: A Code of Practice\".[25] This code of practice was first published in 2002 with the objective of compliance to Section 71B of the Railways Act 1993, and revised after a public consultation period in 2008.\nMaking public services fully accessible to the public has led to some technological innovations. Public announcement systems using audio induction loop technology can broadcast announcements directly into the hearing aid of anyone with a hearing impairment, making them useful in such public places as auditoriums and train stations. Australia's government has supported the creation of the National Public Toilet Map, to enable users to locate public toilet facilities throughout the country. GPS is also included as a feature. The service assists people with continence issues, which is estimated to be up to 18% of the population, including the elderly and families with young children.\nAccessibility in urban design\nAccessibility modifications to conventional urban environments has become common in recent decades. The use of a curb cut, or kassel kerb, to enable wheelchair or walker movement between sidewalk and street level is found in most major cities of wealthy countries. The creation of priority parking spaces and of disabled parking permits has made them a standard feature of urban environments. Features that assist people with visual impairments include braille signs and tactile paving to allow a user with a cane to easily identify stairways, train platforms, and similar areas that could pose a physical danger to anyone who has a visual impairment.\nUrban design features that may appear to be simple conveniences for persons without disabilities are often essential to anyone who has a disability. The loss of these features presents a significant barrier. For example, sometimes a lack of prompt snow-clearing on sidewalks of major Canadian city streets means that wheelchair and walker users cannot reach pedestrian crossing buttons on crosswalk posts, due to snow bank accumulation around the posts, making the crossing buttons inaccessible. Public services must take into account the need to maintain accessibility features in the urban environment.\nFurther information: Accessible housing\nMost existing and new housing, even in the wealthiest nations, lack basic accessibility features unless the designated, immediate occupant of a home currently has a disability. However, there are some initiatives to change typical residential practices so that new homes incorporate basic access features such as zero-step entries and door widths adequate for wheelchairs to pass through. Occupational Therapists are a professional group skilled in the assessment and making of recommendations to improve access to homes.[26] They are involved in both the adaptation of existing housing to improve accessibility,[27] and in the design of future housing.[28]\nThe broad concept of Universal design is relevant to housing, as it is to all aspects of the built environment. Furthermore, a Visitability movement begun by grass roots disability advocates in the 1980s focuses specifically on changing construction practices in new housing. This movement, a network of interested people working in their locales, works on educating, passing laws, and spurring voluntary home access initiatives with the intention that basic access become a routine part of new home construction.\nAccessibility and 'ageing in place'\nAccessibility in the design of housing and household devices has become more prominent in recent decades due to a rapidly ageing population in developed countries. Ageing seniors may wish to continue living independently, but the ageing process naturally increases the disabilities that a senior citizen will experience. A growing trend is the desire for many senior citizens to 'age in place', living as independently as possible for as long as possible. Accessibility modifications that allow ageing in place are becoming more common. Housing may even be designed to incorporate accessibility modifications that can be made throughout the life cycle of the residents.\nDisability, information technology (IT) and telecommunications\nMain article: Design for All (in ICT)\nAdvances in information technology and telecommunications have represented a leap forward for accessibility. Access to the technology is restricted to those who can afford it, but it has become more widespread in Western countries in recent years. For those who use it, it provides the ability to access information and services by minimizing the barriers of distance and cost as well as the accessibility and usability of the interface. In many countries this has led to initiatives, laws and/or regulations that aim toward providing universal access to the internet and to phone systems at reasonable cost to citizens.[29]\nA major advantage of advanced technology is its flexibility. Some technologies can be used at home, in the workplace, and in school, expanding the ability of the user to participate in various spheres of daily life. Augmentative and alternative communication technology is one such area of IT progress. It includes inventions such as speech-generating devices, Teletypewriter devices, adaptive pointing devices to replace computer mouse devices, and many others. They can be adapted to create accessibility to a range of tasks, and may be suitable for different kinds of disability.\nThe following impairments are some of the disabilities that affect communications and technology access, as well as many other life activities:\ncommunication disorders;[30]\nhearing impairments;[31]\nvisual impairments;[32]\nmobility impairments;\na learning disability or impairment in mental functioning.\nEach kind of disability requires a different kind of accommodation, and this may require analysis by a medical specialist, an educational specialist or a job analysis when the impairment requires accommodation.\nJob analysis[33]\nExamples of common assistive technologies\nCommunication impairment Blissymbols board or similar device; Electronic speech synthesizer\nHearing impairment earphones, headphones, headsets; Real-time closed captioning; Teletypewriter\nMobility impairment Page-turning device; Adaptive keyboards and computer mice (pointing devices such as trackballs, vertical mouse, foot mouse, or programmable pedal)\nPhysical or mental impairment, learning disability Voice recognition software, refreshable braille display, screen reader\nPerceptual disability, learning disability Talking textbooks, virtual keyboard\nVisual impairment, learning disability Modified monitor interface, magnification devices; Reading service, E-text\nVisual impairment, learning disability Braille note-taker; Braille printer; screen magnifiers; Optical scanner\nOne of the first areas where information technology improved the quality of life for disabled individuals is the voice operated wheelchair. Quadriplegics have the most profound disability, and the voice operated wheel chair technology was first developed in 1977 to provide increased mobility. The original version replaced the joystick system with a module that recognized 8 commands. Many other technology accommodation improvements have evolved from this initial development.[34]\nMissing arms and fingers interferes with the use of a keyboard and pointing device (mouse). This can be one of the most devastating types of handicap, and technology has made great improvements in this area during the last 20 years. Speech recognition devices and software can improve technology access.\nCommunication (including speech) impairments\nA communication disorder interferes with the ability to produce clearly understandable speech. There can be many different causes, such as nerve degeneration, muscle degeneration, stroke, and vocal cord injury. The modern method to deal with speaking disabilities has been to provide a text interface for a speech synthesizer for complete vocal disability. This can be a great improvement for people that have been limited to the use of a throat vibrator to produce speech since the 1960s.\nAn individual satisfies the definition of hearing disabled when hearing loss is about 30 dB for a single frequency, but this is not always perceptible as a handicap. For example, loss of sensitivity in one ear interferes with sound localization (directional hearing), which can interfere with communication in a crowd. This is often recognized when certain words are confused during normal conversation. This can interfere with voice-only interfaces, like automated customer service telephone systems, because it is sometimes difficult to increase the volume and repeat the message.\nMild to moderate hearing loss may be accommodated with a hearing aid that amplifies ambient sounds. Portable devices with speed recognition that can produce text can reduce problems associated with understanding conversation. This kind of hearing loss is relatively common, and this often grows worse with age.\nThe modern method to deal with profound hearing disability is the Internet using email or word processing applications. The Telecommunication Device for the Deaf (TDD) became available in the form of the teletype (TTY) during the 1960s. These devices consist of a keyboard, display and modem that connects two or more of these devices using a dedicated wire or plain old telephone service.\nA wide range of technology products are available to deal with visual impairment. This includes screen magnification for monitors, mouse-over speech synthesis browsing, braille displays, braille printers, braille cameras, voice operated phones and tablets.\nOne emerging product that will make ordinary computer displays available for the blind is the refreshable tactile display, which is very different from a conventional braille display. This provides a raised surface corresponding to the bright and dim spots on a conventional display. An example is the Touch Sight Camera for the Blind.\nSpeech Synthesis Markup Language and Speech Recognition Grammar Specification are relatively recent technologies intended to standardize communication interfaces using BNF Form and XML Form. These technologies assist visual impairments and physical impairment by providing interactive access to web content without the need to visually observe the content. While these technologies provides access for visually impaired individuals, the primary benefactor has been automated systems that replace live human customer service representatives that handle telephone calls.\nSee also: Web accessibility\nInternational standards and guidelines\nThere have been a few major movements to coordinate a set of guidelines for accessibility for the web. The first and most well known is The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), which is part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This organization developed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 and 2.0 which explain how to make Web content accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. Web \"content\" generally refers to the information in a Web page or Web application, including text, images, forms, and sounds. (More specific definitions are available in the WCAG documents.)[35]\nThe WCAG is separated into 3 levels of compliance, A, AA and AAA. Each level requires a stricter set of conformance guidelines, such as different versions of HTML (Transitional vs Strict) and other techniques that need to be incorporated into your code before accomplishing validation. Online tools allow users to submit their website and automatically run it through the WCAG guidelines and produce a report, stating whether or not they conform to each level of compliance. Adobe Dreamweaver also offers plugins which allow web developers to test these guidelines on their work from within the program.\nThe ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36 WG7 24751 Individualized Adaptability and Accessibility in e-learning, education and training series is freely available and made of 3 parts: Individualized Adaptability and Accessibility in e-learning, education and training, Standards inventory and Guidance on user needs mapping.\nAnother source of web accessibility guidance comes from the US government. In response to Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act, the Access Board developed standards to which U.S. federal agencies must comply in order to make their sites accessible. The U.S. General Services Administration has developed a website where one can take online training courses for free to learn about these rules.[36]\nExamples of accessibility features include:\nWAI-AA compliance with the WAI's WCAG\nSemantic Web markup\n(X)HTML Validation from the W3C for the pages content\nCSS Validation from the W3C for the pages layout\nCompliance with all guidelines from Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act\nA high contrast version of the site for individuals with low vision, and a low contrast (yellow or blue) version of the site for individuals with dyslexia\nAlternative media for any multimedia used on the site (video, flash, audio, etc.)\nSimple and consistent navigation\nWhile WCAG provides much technical information for use by web designers, coders and editors, BS 8878:2010 Web accessibility \u2013 Code of Practice[37] has been introduced, initially in the UK, to help site owners and product managers to understand the importance of accessibility. It includes advice on the business case behind accessibility, and how organisations might usefully update their policies and production processes to embed accessibility in their business-as-usual.\nAnother useful idea is for websites to include a web accessibility statement on the site. Initially introduced in PAS 78,[38] the best practice for web accessibility statements has been updated in BS 8878[39] to emphasise the inclusion of: information on how disabled and elderly people could get a better experience of using the website by using assistive technologies or accessibility settings of browsers and operating systems (linking to \"BBC My Web My Way\"[40] can be useful here); information on what accessibility features the site's creators have included, and if there are any user needs which the site doesn't currently support (for example, descriptive video to allow blind people to access the information in videos more easily); and contact details for disabled people to be able to use to let the site creators know if they have any problems in using the site. While validations against WCAG, and other accessibility badges can also be included, they should be put lower down the statement, as most disabled people still do not understand these technical terms.[41]\nEducation and accessibility for students\nA teacher helps her student at an orphanage in central Vietnam. The orphanage caters to many abandoned and disabled children \u2013 through education and communication programs they are able to have a life that would otherwise not be possible.\nConstruction of a ramp for a school latrine in Ukunda, Kenya, making the school building more accessible to students with disabilities.\nEqual access to education for students with disabilities is supported in some countries by legislation. It is still challenging for some students with disabilities to fully participate in mainstream education settings, but many adaptive technologies and assistive programs are making improvements. In India, the Medical Council of India has now passed the directives to all the medical institutions to make them accessible to persons with disabilities. This happened due to a petition by Dr Satendra Singh founder of Infinite Ability.[42]\nStudents with a physical or mental impairment or learning disability may require note-taking assistance, which may be provided by a business offering such services, as with tutoring services. Talking books in the form of talking textbooks are available in Canadian secondary and post-secondary schools. Also, students may require adaptive technology to access computers and the Internet. These may be tax-exempt expenses in some jurisdictions with a medical prescription.\nTest accessibility\nTest accessibility is defined as the extent to which a test and its constituent item set eliminates barriers and permits the test-taker to demonstrate his or her knowledge of the tested content. Test accessibility involves an interaction between features of the test and individual test-taker characteristics.\nWith the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, student accountability in essential content areas such as reading, mathematics, and science has become a major area of focus in educational reform. As a result, test developers have needed to create tests to ensure all students, including those with special needs (e.g., students identified with disabilities), are given the opportunity to demonstrate the extent to which they have mastered the content measured on state assessments. Currently, states are permitted to develop two different types of tests in addition to the standard grade-level assessments to target students with special needs. First, the alternate assessment may be used to report proficiency for up to 1% of students in a state. Second, new regulations permit the use of alternate assessments based on modified academic achievement standards to report proficiency for up to 2% of students in a state.\nTo ensure these new tests generate results that permit valid inferences about student performance, they must be accessible to as many individuals as possible. The Test Accessibility and Modification Inventory (TAMI)[43] and its companion evaluation tool, the Accessibility Rating Matrix (ARM), were designed to facilitate the evaluation of tests and test items with a focus on enhancing their accessibility. Both instruments integrate principles of accessibility theory and were guided by research on universal design, assessment accessibility, cognitive load theory, and research on item-writing and test development. The TAMI is a non-commercial instrument that has been made available to all state assessment directors and testing companies. Assessment researchers have used the ARM to conduct accessibility reviews of state assessment items for several state departments of education.\nWalter Harris Callow, inventor of wheelchair accessible bus\nCEN/CENELEC Guide 6\nFoundation for Information Technology Accessibility\nNationwide Access Register (in the UK)\nSection 508 Amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973\n\u2191 Henry, Shawn Lawton; Abou-Zahra, Shadi; Brewer, Judy (2014). \"The Role of Accessibility in a Universal Web\".

        "raw_content": "City Chooses Dummy Cameras to Secure Government Building\nAfter a Massachusetts city\u2019s government complex added one dozen cameras, the local newspaper questioned where they came from. What they found was surprising.\nThe Herald News in Fall River, Massachusetts saw more than a dozen cameras added to a government building overnight. Reporters thought it was suspicious that there were no wires coming from the cameras. Blinking lights on all of the cameras also seemed out of the ordinary.\n***** * ************* ****\u2019* ********** ******* ***** *** ***** *******, the ***** ********* ********** ***** **** **** ****. **** **** found *** **********.\n*** ****** **** ** **** *****, ************* *** **** **** a ***** ******* ***** ** * ********** ******** *********. ********* thought ** *** ********** ********* **** ** ***** ****** **** *** *******. ******** ****** ** *** ** *** ******* **** ****** out ** *** ********.\n***** **** ******* *** ****** ************* ** ********* *** *****, clerk ******* *** ****** *********, *** ***** ** ** ******** hardware. * ****** ** *** ********* *** **** **** **** able ** ******* **** ***** ** *** ******* **** *** mayor **** ****** *** **** *** ******* ** ******* ***** documents *** \u201c******** *******.\u201d\n***** *** ** *** ** ******* ******** ********* **** **** contacted *** ****. **** ***** **** $*** *** *** ** the *******.\nCity ********* ****\u2019* ****\n**** ********** *** *** **** ****\u2019* **** ******** ***** *** project *** *** *** *********** *** *******. ** *****'* **** to **** ***** ******* *** ****** *********** *******. *** *****\u2019* administration **** ** ***** ** ******* ** **** **** ************ with **** ********** ***** *** ***** ** *** *******, *** would *** **** ***** **** \u201c** ** **** *****\u201d ***** security *******.\nLook **** ***** *******\n*** ***** ** ***** ******* ******** ************ **** *** **** that *** ******* *** ****, *** **** ****** ********* ******, the ****** ***** ********* ** *** *** ** ****** ** our***** ****** ************ **** ****:\n*********, *** **** **** **** ***** *** ** ***\u2019* **** something *** ** ****** *** ****** ** ******* ***** ******* aren't *********.\nYou know what they say.... dummy is as dummy does.\nDonna Whiteside\nThere are numerous court cases that have been won by victoms of crime because of dummy cameras creating a false sense of security. This being a government building; they should know better. Hope they fix this before something happens.\nIPVM | In reply to Donna Whiteside | 04/25/14 02:35pm\nDonna, can you please share any of those court cases? We've been looking and asking people for them for a while and have not yet found them.\nThe most famous 'case' turned out to be a myth - Rape Under A Dummy Camera - Is This A True Story?\nIPVMU Certified | In reply to Donna Whiteside | 04/26/14 01:47am\nDonna, Please please share. I run into customers all the time that use fake cameras, It would be great to have this kind of fire power.\nHopefully, the city will come clean and it won\u2019t take something bad to happen for people to realize these cameras aren't recording.\nCarlton, why do you feel the city should come clean? Are you categorically against the use of dummies, even if supplemental?\nNot to interject opinions, but the case law is most often referred to as \"inadequate security\". There are hundreds, if not not thousands of verdicts that have been handed down over the years, covering a broad spectrum of security lapses. Case law has long established that a visitor or passerby has a reasonable expectation that if there is a security camera on your premise, it is in good working order and is being monitored. \"Being monitored\" can be interpreted as recorded. Finding a reference specifically for dummy cameras will not be easy, but an easy and intelligent arguement can be made against them.\nCase law has long established that a visitor or passerby has a reasonable expectation that if there is a security camera on your premise, it is in good working order and is being monitored...\nI think at this point in the fruitless search for any actual cases, you would be a hero if you could cite any cases, of those thousands, where the camera being broken or the camera not being monitored was the sole and sufficient cause for a ruling, regardless if 'dummies' are mentioned or not.\nIPVM | In reply to Mark Jones | 04/29/14 04:03pm\nMark, I've looked at a lot of cases. So far, the pattern I see is that physical security deficiencies (like broken locks, open doors, cut fences, etc.) create clear liability for businesses / organizations. The rationale judges give is that, if these things worked, then a reasonable chance exists to stop / prevent the crime.\nTo the contrary, with video surveillance, the judges position in the cases I have read is that they do not believe that even if the camera was on/real/working, that the crime would have been stopped / prevented. Because of this, there is no liability.\nAgain, there may be hundreds of cases where dummy cameras caused an organization to lose / be liable, but no one has yet been able to show me one. There must be something out there, but it's clearly not as common as industry people claim.\nDeegan Pope\nI think that is a common urban myth perpetuated through out the security industry that dummy cams have led to loss in lawsuits. I've seen many a discussion like this and never 1 actually case reference. I think John has it nailed on this one.\nI look at this from the other perspective: how many claims or lawsuits could have been prevented by a functioning surveillance system? Slip and fall claims are a great case in point. Dummy cameras cannot be used to determine whether a slip and fall claim is legitimate while recorded video could prove that it is not. I have seen many cases where surveillance video disproved a claimant's complaint.\nKeeping with the theme of different perspectives:\nI have seen many cases where surveillance video disproved a claimant's complaint...\nTrue, though sometimes after an incident, surveillance system owners actually wish they had installed dummy cameras...\nhow many claims or lawsuits could have been prevented by a functioning surveillance system?\nI wonder if it always more than the number of claims that dummy cameras alone could prevent? And if you think that that's just crazy talk, consider the fact that a pervasive anti-dummy camera bias, as shown by many of those whose livelihood could be negatively impacted by them, may prevent someone from seeing the advantages of a well executed dummy or hybrid strategy. Ironically some of these advantages that have actually increased due to greater adoption of multi-megapixel and extreme wide angle lenses.\nCase in point, big box Supermarket A goes with 10 of the latest ceiling mounted 10MP 360 degree domes (do they exist yet?) and has complete and total coverage of the floor. Killer install, writeups in all the rags.\nSupermarket B goes all dummy, with 50 boutique styles of various models, with their use and placement and (corresponding faux fov), determined soley by their estimated maximum deterrence value. Total percieved coverage of the floor. No security trade rag writeups, although you may have a shot at the centerleaf of Modern Grocer.\nSo, yeah, they are right in your face if need be or not if need not, but their deployment is not hampered by such annoyances such as lack of structured cabling, power, focal length, sensor size, poor lighting and glare to mention a few.\nWho's to say which one would save more money long term from avoided lawsuits? Maybe you, but not me. And regardless, if you are going spring for option A, why not spend a trivial bit more and get A+B, for the best of both worlds?\nIn reply to Rukmini Wilson | 05/05/14 03:33am\nSorry Rukmini, I disagree with you. I'm always amazed at what some people will do, or attempt to do, despite being aware of the presence of cameras. Perhaps they think no one watches or they're not being recorded or ???\nStill, bogus slip and fall / trip and fall incidents are committed regularly under full camera coverage. So what happens if the area is covered by dummy cameras? The company or their insurance pays the claim due to lack of contradicting proof. Contrarily, claims are often reduced or eliminated by legitimate camera coverage.\nDon't be sorry, you are talking experience, I'm just flapping gums. Though since you did ask, I feel compelled to offer one slight dummy nuance you might not have considered... You said:\nSo what happens if the area is covered by dummy cameras?\nAssuming that the incident happened clearly within the faux fov AND the dummy camera was apparently 'working', then the on duty manager would simply point out the camera, while indicating how fortunate the slipper was for slipping in front of the camera, because now there would no question of them getting what they deserved. Only the store manager can review footage, they would be told, and so 'please come back tommorow, and we will roll tape and file a police report'. My bet is most don't come back, unless they \"know\" its a dummy, but what do I know? Only what little I have learned here at The Institute for Advanced Hindsight... ;)\nThey change speed cameras around real and dummy in various locations, Anyone like to test if they are dummy this week?",

        "raw_content": "Work From Home Resources Government \u201cMoney for Nothing\u201d Grants Still Don\u2019t Exist\nGovernment \u201cMoney for Nothing\u201d Grants Still Don\u2019t Exist\nOpportunities to receive a large sum of money for no work on your part should always raise a few flags. The FTC has been reporting recently on scammers who are calling people and identifying themselves as workers for government grant agencies.\nThe scammer lets the person on the phone know they are eligible for a few thousand dollars in government grants and will deposit that money into a bank account immediately. After they hand over their personal information of course\u2026\nGovernment Grant Telemarketing Scams\nThe FTC writes\u2026\n\u201cBecause you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a $12,500 government grant! To get your free grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will deposit the grant into your bank account!\u201d\nYou may receive a message like this, where the caller claims to be from a government agency or some other organization with an official sounding name. Or you may see an ad that claims you will qualify to receive a \u201cfree grant\u201d to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or bills. In any case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you\u2019ll never have to pay the money back.\nOffers of \u201cmoney for nothing\u201d grants usually are scams, whether you hear about them on the phone or see them in your local paper, a national magazine, or a slick looking website.\nThe scam is rather simple, but it\u2019s effective. Scammers are calling people and informing them that the victim is eligible for a free government grant to help with education costs, mortgages, home repairs or just bills in general. The scammer will then tell you that they need your banking information in order to directly deposit the grant money into your account.\nReports are going around that scammers are saying they need credit card information to process a \u201ctransaction fee\u201d that is completely reversible once the grant money is deposited. This is all a scam to get as much personal information out of you as quickly as possible. Do not fall for it!\nInformation on real government grants can be found here: Grants.gov but like it says on their website, they do no offer personal financial assistance.\nHow to Avoid Grant Scams\nThe FTC has the following advice\u2026\nDon\u2019t pay any money for a \u201cfree\u201d government grant. If you have to pay money to claim a \u201cfree\u201d government grant, it isn\u2019t really free. The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public library or on the Internet. The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www.grants.gov.\nCheck the correct names of government agencies. Just because the caller says they\u2019re from the \u201cFederal Grants Administration\u201d doesn\u2019t mean that they are. There is no such government agency. Check your telephone directory.\nTake your time. There\u2019s no rush. Scammers pressure people to divulge their bank account information so that they can steal the money in the account. Always keep your bank account information to yourself. Don\u2019t share it unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.\nEliminate telemarketing calls you don\u2019t want by registering your number on the National Do Not Call Registry.\nThe biggest pressure tactic to be on the lookout for is number three. Don\u2019t let a scammer bully you into thinking you\u2019re going to lose out on a lot of free money if you don\u2019t sign up RIGHT NOW.

Hydrology Research 1 February 2005; 36 (1): 37\u201348. doi: https://doi.org/10.2166/nh.2005.0004\nPrediction of high magnitude flows is of interest in many hydrological applications such as operation of flood control reservoirs, flood forecasting and gated spillways. Of the various types of existing streamflow prediction approaches, data driven models (such as ANN) are increasingly being preferred over the traditional conceptual models due to their simplicity, fast speed and ease of use. For models that consider only historical streamflow data, an attempt has been made to design a robust model over a wide range of streamflow magnitudes. The model inputs are the immediate past streamflow data which generally do not predict the typically high flows well, particularly for large lead times.\nIn this study, the flow range is divided into three regions (low, medium and high flow regions) and the attributes are decided based on the underlying hydrological process of the flow region. A flow forecasting model is applied for each flow region, using only the historical streamflow data as input. The proposed approach is implemented in Tryggev\u00e6lde Catchment (Denmark) for 1- and 3-lead days, using the Support Vector Machine (SVM), which yields promising results, particularly for high flows in a 3-lead day model.\nArtificial neural network, flow forecasting, support vector machine",

        "raw_content": "The Strange Case of King Charles I\u2019s Hidden \u2018Daughter\u2019\nOne of the great delights of writing this blog, of having a website, and of being moderately active on Twitter, is that I sometimes gets really interesting feedback from those who follow me. Last week\u2019s post, for example, brought a reply from Steve Mercer of the Grimsby Wargames Society, who are already well advanced in planning a detailed reconstruction of the great Four Days Battle of 1666 \u2013 the subject of the fifth Quinton novel, The Battle of All The Ages \u2013 to mark the 350th anniversary in June next year. It\u2019s great to hear that, and really appropriate, too, given the strategic importance of the Humber estuary during the Anglo-Dutch wars. Back in October of last year, I also heard from Michael Lowe, who\u2019d picked up on a statement I made in a previous post about Joanna Bridges, a possible illegitimate daughter of King Charles I (and Michael\u2019s direct ancestor). Her story provided the inspiration for one of the storylines in the third novel, The Blast That Tears The Skies, where one of the characters (which is about as spoiler-free as I can make this\u2026) is similarly an illegitimate child of the King. I picked up this idea from Joanna\u2019s story, which forms a very odd footnote in the histories of both the British Civil Wars and my home county, Carmarthenshire. So, somewhat belatedly, here\u2019s the curious tale of Joanna Bridges, Michael\u2019s ancestor.\nFamously, Charles I\u2019s attitude to sexual morality was very different to that of his two sons, who racked up the grand total of some sixteen or seventeen illegitimate children between them. But this very much reflected the situation after Charles\u2019 marriage, when he and Queen Henrietta Maria became devoted to each other. His behaviour as Prince of Wales, and in his first years as King, was not necessarily quite so conventional \u2013 or, as one of the 19th century sources used for this blog put it, he was led astray \u2018under the guidance of the dissipated and licentious [Duke of] Buckingham\u2019. If he really had an illegitimate child, its birth almost certainly took place during a period in the 1620s, probably between c.1622 and c.1627. According to the legend of her paternity, Joanna Bridges was the child of Charles and the Duchess of Lennox, who was then raised \u2018in much privacy\u2019 in Wales, growing into a young woman who \u2018both in circumstance and disposition\u2026displayed a striking resemblance to her unfortunate father\u2019. The only Bridges family of gentry status in Wales seems to have lived in Radnorshire, and that may have been where Joanna was brought up.\nThe Duchess of Lennox\nThere is some evidence to support the otherwise very unlikely theory. The thrice-married Frances, Duchess of Lennox, was a prominent member of the circle around Buckingham and Charles when the latter was Prince of Wales; her husband Ludovic, a cousin of the Prince and of his father King James, had actually been the heir to the Scottish throne for some twenty years, and he plays a very prominent part in my book Blood of Kings: the Stuarts, the Ruthvens and the \u2018Gowrie Conspiracy\u2019. Although she was in her forties, it\u2019s quite conceivable that the Duchess might have had a \u2018Mrs Robinson\u2019 affair with the young Prince, and Pauline Gregg, Charles\u2019 biographer, documents the fact that the latter presented the Duchess with a chain of diamonds valued at over \u00a33000 \u2013 although the latter was actually a gift from King James, who also seems to have been a target for the Duchess\u2019 affections. (She had serious \u2018form\u2019 when it came to winning much older men \u2013 her second husband, forty years her senior, was Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, a nephew of Henry VIII\u2019s Queen Jane Seymour.)\nFurther circumstantial evidence is provided by Joanna\u2019s marriage, at some point in the mid-1650s, to Dr Jeremy Taylor, a prominent Anglican clergyman and religious writer who had served as a chaplain to King Charles I\u2019s court at Oxford. Taylor was in Wales by the beginning of 1645, when he was in Lord Gerard\u2019s force that was defeated at Cardigan Castle, and he then became a schoolteacher at Llanfihangel Aberbythych in the Tywi valley. This was almost immediately adjacent to Golden Grove, the home of the influential Vaughan family and its head, the Earl of Carbery, one of the most prominent Royalists in south Wales. Taylor soon became chaplain to Carbery and remained in west Wales for ten years or thereabouts. This explains his meeting with, and eventual marriage to, Joanna Bridges \u2013 she owned a small estate at Mandinam, a little further up the Tywi valley (possibly a telling fact in itself). But the most curious, and telling, connection of all is recounted by Pauline Gregg in her biography of King Charles. Following his defeat by Parliament, Charles was imprisoned at Hampton Court from August to November 1647. Taylor was among those who attended him there, and as Gregg records, \u2018Charles gave Taylor a ring with two diamonds and a ruby, a watch, and a few pearls and rubies which ornamented the ebony case in which he kept his bible. There was no reason why he should give these to Taylor unless they were to pass on to Joanna Bridges\u2026\u2019\nThe couple married at some point between 1652 and 1656, had two children, and moved to Ireland, where Taylor became Bishop of Down and Connor; he died in August 1667. The date of Joanna\u2019s death is unknown, but her eponymous daughter still owned Mandinam in 1707. The house still exists, and now provides holiday accommodation. Perhaps one day I\u2019ll carry out more intensive research into the legend of Joanna Bridges \u2013 and of course, that would provide an ideal excuse to go and stay at her former home!\nvery interesting! I follow that period of British history as I am an artist and ship modeler interested in the Sovereign of the Seas, built during the reign of Charles I. My eye was immediately drawn to the painting which headers this blog, and I have not seen this one before.I would like to be able to enlarge it and examine it closer, as this one shows the incorrect gilded carvings on the stern, and could be from a modeling site, like Mantua Models.\nMay I ask where you found the picture online?\nThanks for your comment, Mike. The artwork is actually original, and was commissioned from my friend Richard Endsor for the cover of the first edition of my first novel, Gentleman Captain \u2013 it\u2019s based on the book\u2019s climactic battle. Richard is the author of \u2018The Restoration Warship\u2019, and has a website at http://www.richardendsor.co.uk/#. The original painting now hangs in my living room!\nEileen O'Leary says:\nI suspect Buckingham may have assisted Charles in learning how to perform his husbandly duties before he married, so he probably arranged this liason between Charles and the Duchess of Lennox. I\u2019d say it was a success as Charles fathered 9 children with his wife Henrietta Maria.\nSounds pretty plausible to me \u2013 there\u2019s not a lot I wouldn\u2019t put past Buckingham!!\nYep, he seemed capable of pretty much anything\u2026 Didn\u2019t someone recently suggest that Charles had an affair in the last years of his life? I can\u2019t remember the details.",

This life is yours and the moment is yours to live!\nAll of us SHOULD take care of each other. At various times, we get it confused and feel it\u2019s just about where we are going. It doesn\u2019t hurt to forget \u2013 we are all in this together. Whether we like this or not \u2013 how we respond to service to one another is what makes the difference.\nThis is something we have heard all of our lives. Humans assign meaning where they choose to. I suppose, if one is to stare at their life and why they\u2019re here \u2013 they\u2019d have questions and connect answers to what\u2019s been revealed so far. If they choose to value their lives to a destiny, that\u2019s their prerogative.\nBelief is how philosophers and psychiatrists spend a lot of their time. Without belief, a lot of people would be out of a job and determination.\nIf you\u2019re anything like me. You\u2019re curious. Curious as to why things are and what motivates us to arrive at the various conclusions. What caused this? I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever fully arrive at all of the questions we have. That\u2019s OK because life is a trip! I ain\u2019t gonna be tripping on how you experience the fullness of your trip!

I want to mainly remind people \u2013 It ain\u2019t about what you don\u2019t believe in.\nA lot of us have the answers already. How do you treat people? How are you being there for people? When will people start seeing that empathy is a two-way street? Some of my questions may offend or merely ignite your curiosity. In the process of writing this book \u2013 more questions have come to surface. It\u2019s safe to say \u2013 the book is writing itself. It won\u2019t entirely center around \u2018FAITH, GOD, HEAVEN, HELL, EMPATHY\u2019 or any other serious concepts. There\u2019s gonna be a lot of fiction and dreamlike conclusions. Through it all, I\u2019ve come to realize \u2013 Humans and Nature are the creators to most of what we see.\nWho\u2019s to blame? HUMANS. People make art and people invent exactly what they want them to see. Distortion of the facts is just as real as the clear reason some put up walls.I believe in people \u2013 people are capable of treating each other with respect. THIS ISN\u2019T ALWAYS EASY BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN BE THE TRUEST ASSHOLES IN ALL OF LIVING EXISTENCE. (More on that later) I am constantly understanding the role of religion, philosophy, politics, etc in human consciousness.

        "title": "Backstories Of The Draft :: The Joel Bieber Firm",
        "raw_content": "Backstories Of The Draft\nIt\u2019s Our Monday Blog, so let\u2019s dive right in!\nOver the weekend, I spent some time watching the NFL draft. The draft might not be that exciting to you, but there were some interesting side stories.\nWhen I turned the draft on at the very beginning, I saw several former Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks walking out with the Commissioner. Because the draft took place in Dallas, this immediately should have evoked cheers because of all Dallas fans.\nIn theory, it was a great idea because the NFL was probably trying to run a good defense for Commissioner Goodell. But, fans so dislike Goodell that even greats from the past could not run positive interference for him. But, it was a classic public relations move.\nThe NFL is known to try for public relations moves to make us forget that it\u2019s all big business. They would prefer that we not remember all those past players still suffering from head injuries.\nFor instance, Ryan Shazier walked to the podium to announce the Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 first pick. Four years ago he had been a first round pick. Near the end of last season, he suffered a spinal injury during a game that was so serious that it was questionable whether he would be paralyzed for life.\nNow, we are celebrating his ability to walk, even though it is with incredible effort on his part. Maybe the best way that the NFL can give recognition to him is not to parade him across a stage. Instead, to make sure that all is done to make sure it never happens to another player.\nDraftee Shaquem Griffin was placed in the draft room. The player area usually reserved for players to be drafted in the first round. There is no way that the NFL expected that. But with Griffin there, they could continually show him to TV viewers.\nWe were constantly reminded that he only had one hand as a result of a birth defect. Yet, his story served as an inspiration to overcoming adversity\u2026 while he sat there until being drafted in the fifth round. He was the 141st player to be taken.\nDuring the draft, television viewers were also sent to the \u201cdraft war rooms\u201d of several teams. It showed the team of people determining the player to be picked. It also showed the importance of all the preparation done before the draft. Their big \u201cdraft boards\u201d gave structure to who they would pick next, if available. It doesn\u2019t just happen.\nOne final thought is on how the draft started in the first place. It stems from the theory that \u201cit\u2019s not fair\u201d.\nDuring the 1930\u2019s, Philadelphia team owner, Bert Bell, was tired of his team continually losing. He pitched the other owners on an idea of spreading the wealth. All ships big and small rise to the top as the tide goes up! The league is only as strong as its weakest link. (I could keep going crazy on metaphors!)\nThe draft of today was created, using the reverse order of picking in order of finish. Last picks first was born. And so it was in this 2018 draft.\nAnd for pic o\u2019 day:",

        "raw_content": "It is all about quotes; our Day 11 for the Imperfect Blogging Challenge, that is. It is so hard for me to decide one just one that I love or use. Through the years there have been so many favorites. At times I would keep it as an email signature to remind me or what I feel I needed to hear at the time. One quote I kept for a email signature for a while is by Jim Roth: If you don\u2019t design your own life plan, chances are you will fall under somebody else\u2019s plan, and guess what they have planned for you? Not much!\nSometimes there is a quote I choose to focus on for the year. For example, Marie Curie\u2019s quote: \u201c\u2026.We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.\u201c (more on that one here).\nI believe in the above quote by Marie Curie yet it also leads me to another favorite quote (of course it does) this one by Arthur Golden, used in Memoirs of a Geisha. Don\u2019t judge. I have no idea why I would have one by a Geisha, on the other hand, she was not just a Geisha, the character was a woman that dealt with the reality of her life in a time when she had no other choice. She did not choose to be a Geisha but chose to do the best she could with her circumstances and said:\n\u201cWe must use whatever methods we can to understand the movement of the Universe around us and time our actions so that we are not fighting the currents but moving with them.\u201d -Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha.\nI believe that as much as we want some things at a certain time, it will not always be when or how we expect it. I will always be determined and persevere as long as I understand the movement of the Universe around us and time our actions so that we are not fighting the currents but moving with them. And I do not need to even say how much I have hated flexibility or waiting for than I have felt I have \u201cwaited\u201d for a number of things. In our go getter World we feel responsible if some things don\u2019t turn out exactly as we want them or when we want them. So if I feel that I am fighting a current, I will put it to rest for a while. I will let it age a little, then I come back to it. Surprisingly enough, the Universe will open a window of opportunity when you least expect it and then you realize why it wasn\u2019t ready before.",

Anheuser-Busch InBev assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information provided during the conference call.\nIt is now my pleasure to turn the floor over to Mr. Carlos Brito. Sir, you may begin.\nWell, thank you Melisa. Good morning and good afternoon everyone and thank you for joining our first quarter 2011 conference call and webcast. I'm joined here today by our CFO, Felipe Dutra.\nToday, I'll briefly review our first quarter highlights and then provide you with an update on the priorities for this year for our two largest markets of the United States and Brazil, which I set out for you in our full-year 2010 press release some weeks ago. I will then hand over to Felipe who will review our performance by zone and provide you with an update on the outlook for 2011.\nAs previously guided, our first quarter volumes were soft, especially in the United States and Brazil, although this was compensated by our strong revenue growth performance. Total revenue grew by 5.6% despite essentially flat beer volumes for the quarter. Revenue per hectoliter grew 6.1%. This result would have been 6.8%, excluding the impact of geographic mix.\nEBITDA grew by 10.4% in nominal terms and 6.5% organically, while EBITDA margin expanded to 37.9%. We gained market share in five of our top 10 markets, with good results in Argentina, Russia, U.K., Belgium and Germany. As expected, we lost market share in Brazil, following our fourth quarter price increase, which increased the gap to our competitors. Our market share in United States also declined as we continued with the rebalancing of our portfolio and the deemphasizing of the value segment.\nOur Focus Brands, those brands which have the greatest growth potential and which represents almost 70% of our total own beer volume, continue to grow faster than our overall portfolio. As we have said before, we're committed to increasing the investment behind our brands and in the first quarter, we increased our spend by $52 million compared to the same period last year.\nDistribution expenses for the quarter need further explanation since they were exceptionally high growing by 14.6%. The increases in Latin America North were primarily in Brazil and due to two main factors. Firstly, the transfer of products between geographies in anticipation of higher sales demand, which did not materialize in the quarter. This transfer costs will be eliminated when new capacity comes on stream later in the year.\nSecondly, increases in direct distribution. There were also increases in Latin America South due to labor cost increases ahead of inflation and then Central and Eastern Europe, due to higher transport tariffs, both of which began to have an impact in the third quarter of last year. Felipe will provide further guidance on distribution expenses when he addresses the outlook for this year.\nI would now like to focus on our two largest markets of the United States and Brazil. In the United States, high levels of unemployment, especially amongst our core consumers, continue to affect overall beer industry volumes. Nevertheless, we continue to believe that recovery in the U.S. is only a question of when and not if. In the meantime, we will remain focused on building brand health and driving it forward with all of our key initiatives.\nShipments in the quarter declined 3.3%, while sales-to-retailers, STRs, declined at a lower rate of 2.2%.\nAs in the fourth quarter of last year, price and revenue management results were positive. Normalized revenue per hectoliter grew by 3.7% in the quarter; driven by our September price increase, as well as improved mix, which we estimate provided a benefit of almost 60 basis points. We continue with our strategy introduced with the September 2010 price increases of reducing the price gap between our own sub-premium and premium brands, which has historically been around 25% to a level of around 15%. We're encouraged by the progress we're making and we'll continue to work to narrow this gap in the coming years.\nWe estimate we lost about 60 basis points of share in the quarter. Similar to the fourth quarter of last year, the main source of the share loss was a sub-premium segment, which is an expected consequence of the pricing strategy, which I have just mentioned.\nWe also saw share loss with Budweiser, but at a declining rate compared to the same period last year. Budweiser brand health indicators as in the fourth quarter, again, showed some positive signs of improvement. As I have said before, we're determined to regain our market share in the U.S. with the right mix. To this end, we're encouraged by the progress we're making in many areas, including the Bud Light mega brand, the high end and Michelob Ultra.\nI'd now like to give you an update on the top priorities for the U.S. market; firstly, Bud Light growth. The more we work with this brand the more confident we become about its potential. The brand health of the mega brand continues to improve and the gap to competition is widening. We estimate the market share of the mega brand grew by 11 basis points in the quarter with the strong results in the important 21-year to 27-year old consumer group.\nThe Bud Light mother brand led the way with STR growth in the quarter being driven by the successful 'Here We Go' campaign, and further supported by our sponsorship of the Super Bowl and the Ultimate Fighting Championship.\nUncertainty surrounds the upcoming NFL season, but we remain optimistic that a solution can be found. This is a new sponsorship for the brand, and we have already started to leverage the property with the NFL Player Draft that took place at the end of April.\nSecondly, Budweiser stabilization; as I mentioned earlier, the brand health indicators are showing encouraging signs of improvement following the launch of the Grab Some Buds campaign, and the Concentration Week in September last year. The brand is also being helped by new pricing strategy that narrows the gap between our sub-premium and premium brands. Market share remains under pressure, but the declines are decelerating from 60 basis points in the first quarter of last year to 40 basis points in the first quarter of this year.\nThirdly, high end growth; growth in this segment remained strong with superior pricing and margin opportunities. I'm pleased to report that our high end brands continue to perform well, increasing their share of the segment in the first quarter. STRs grew by 13.3% with Stella Artois and Shock Top STRs growing by almost 20% and 60% respectively. The acquisition of Goose Island, which closed this week will strengthen our portfolio even further and underlines our commitment to this segment. Finally, we'll continue to optimize the price positioning across our overall portfolio in line with our brand strategies.\nTurning now to Brazil, as anticipated, beer volume growth in Brazil in the quarter was soft driven by severe floods and expected market share losses following our fourth quarter price adjustments, which increased the gap to our competitors. Beer volumes grew by 0.2% in the quarter, but it should be remembered that this was against tough comps from the first quarters of 2010 and 2009, where beer volumes grew by 15.9% and 7.6% respectively.\nOur soft volumes were more than compensated by strong revenue growth.\nTotal revenue grew by 10.3% with our net revenue per hectoliter up double-digits helped by our fourth quarter price increases, a positive impact from increased direct distribution mix and flat excise taxes.\nDespite the soft first quarter volumes, we remained very confident about the Brazilian industry. Although the real increase in minimum wage in 2011 is minor, consumer disposable income and consequently the beer industry should get a boost in 2012 since the official formula should provide an increase in the minimum wage of approximately 7.5% in real terms or 13% in nominal terms.\nI would now like to focus on the top priorities for Brazil and firstly our Focus Brands. As a result of continued investment behind our brands, Skol, Brahma and Antarctica continued to command consumer preference more than 10 percentage points ahead of their combined market share. We work hard to maintain and extend this advantage.\nOur innovation pipeline is also strong and driving brand health and consumer preference for our brands. The percentage of volume from innovations continued to grow well ahead of our average volume growth and success is coming from both liquids, for example, Antarctica Sub Zero and packaging. For example, our 269 ml can and the continued roll out of the one liter bottle.\nOur third focus area is the Premium segment. As you know, premium accounts for only 5% of the industry and is a good opportunity for long-term volume and margin growth. We have a strong portfolio of brands including Original, Bohemia and Stella Artois and the launch of Budweiser in the second half of this year will further strengthen our portfolio.\nFinally, regional growth; the economies of the north and the northeastern part of Brazil continue to show some of the highest growth rates in the country. In addition, we have been gaining share in that region, primarily led by Skol. Our new brewery in Pernambuco will open in the second half of this year and give us an improved footprint in the northeast, easing the capacity and logistics costs pressures that we have been facing in recent months.\nI\u2019d now like to hand over to Felipe to discuss the zone performance and the below EBIT line items in more detail. Felipe?\nThank you, Brito and good morning, good afternoon everyone. Let me start with North America. Brito has already covered the U.S. in some detail and so I would be brief. Shipment volumes in the quarter fell 3.3%, while sales-to-retailers or STRs decreased 2.2%.\nAs we have said in other occasions you can expect to see some variation between shipment and STR volumes from quarter-to-quarter, but taking the year as a whole, absolute shipments and STRs should be closely aligned.\nIn Canada, beer volumes fell 6.1%. This was driven by a weak industry, which in part was impacted by a tough comparable in 2010, which benefited from the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and also a late Easter, which moved volume from March into April.\nDespite a tough competitive environment, share in Canada has been stable at approximately 41% since the second quarter of last year. Budweiser, Budweiser 4 and Bud Light showed a good share growth in the quarter.\nBalancing volume and profitability in Canada remains a priority and we intend to maintain industry-leading EBITDA and EBITDA margins. Latin America North beer volumes were up 0.6% and soft drinks declined 3.3%. Brito has already commented on our volume performance in Brazil and that have comparables in prior years.\nTotal zone revenue per hectoliter in the quarter increased 10.8%, ahead of our fourth quarter result of 9.9%. Cost of sales per hectoliter increased 9.4%, largely due to higher malt, adjunct and aluminum prices, and higher cost for imported cans, partially offset by favorable currency rates. We are no longer importing empty cans from overseas and the residual impact of doing so on second quarter results should not be material. Zone EBITDA grew 11.4% in the quarter, despite the exceptional distribution expenses as previously mentioned by Brito.\nLatin America South saw volumes growth of 3.7% in the quarter with beer volumes up 4.4%, driven by solid industry performances. Argentina grew beer volumes 5%, and we continue to gain market share with Stella Artois growing 14.7%, almost twice the growth rate of the brand in 2010. EBITDA in the zone grew 21% in the quarter.\nWestern Europe owned beer volumes increased 2.6% in the quarter, with all countries in the zone gaining market share. Own beer volumes in Belgium grew 7.4%, compared to a decline of 9.4% in first quarter 2010 when sales were disrupted by social actions. In Germany, own beer volumes grew 0.9% helped by a milder winter. In the U.K., beer volumes were negatively impacted by the late Easter and our beer volumes fell 1.1%, but all of our Focus Brands in U.K. Budweiser, Stella Artois, and Beck's gained share. EBITDA in the zone grew by 7.7%.\nCentral and Eastern Europe volumes increased 5.6% in the quarter. Russian beer volumes grew 4.1%, compared to a weak first quarter last year, which was impacted by the 200% excise tax increase. We gained market share in the quarter helped by Bud, which has already reached at 0.6% share after its launch an year ago. Ukraine beer volumes grew 8%, helped by a stronger industry, although market share remains below the level of last year.\nFinally, turning to Asia Pacific where first quarter volumes rose 2.8% organically. In China, our Focus Brands led by Budweiser and Harbin grew 7.4%, consistent with our Focus Brands strategy. First quarter volumes were influenced by the trade build-up in the previous quarter in anticipation of the Chinese New Year. Looking at the six months to March 2011, our Focus Brands grew 15%.\nZone EBITDA increased 3.2% in the quarter, driven by good revenue per hectoliter growth of 6.8%, partially offset by higher cost of sales and distribution expenses. Our net finance costs decreased from $900 million in the first quarter 2010 to $758 million in the first quarter of this year. This decrease is primarily due to lower net interest expense as a result of reduced net debt levels, although financial results of minus $60 million are driven by unrealized losses from derivative contracts to hedge risks associated with different share-based compensation programs and the payment of bank fees and taxes on financial transactions in the normal course of business.\nExcluding the effect of non-recurring items, our normalized effective tax rate dropped to 22.2% versus 25.1% in the same quarter of last year. Our normalized earnings per share for the quarter grew by 30.4% to $0.73 from $0.56. Our outlook remains essentially unchanged for our full year 2010 press release issued on March 3. Therefore, I will only highlight the following; as mentioned by Brito, short-term distribution expenses are being impacted by transshipments and direct distribution expansion in Brazil besides additional cost in Latin America South and Central and Eastern Europe.\nWe will begin to cycle easier comparables in the second half of the year, and so we expect full year 2011 distribution expenses per hectoliter for the total Company to increase by mid single-digits. In the first quarter, we delivered $75 million of AB integration synergies and remain on track to deliver at least $270 million of synergies in the full year, which would bring the total to our commitment of $2.25 billion. Our previous guidance was for a normalized effective tax rate in the 25% to 27% range. We now believe the outcome for 2011 will be at the lower end of this range.\nFinally, approximately 35% of our debt is denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollars, mainly the Brazil reais and the euro. The weakening of the dollar is impacting the absolute level of our total debt, as well as the translation of interest expenses, although of course, the movement in FX rates has a positive impact on EBITDA. We remain fully committed to the leveraging and expect to reach our net debt to EBITDA target ratio of two times during the course of 2012.\nThis concludes our comments and we would like to open up the lines for the Q&A. Melisa, please.\nThank you. The floor is now open for questions. IN the interested time, we will limit participants to one questions and one follow up. (Operator Instructions) Your first question comes from Lauren Torres of HSBC.\nLauren Torres \u2013 HSBC\nGood morning everyone. Brito, my question is on the U.S. business, we saw market share losses last year. We saw some additional market share losses in the quarter, and you are talking about regaining this market share. I was just curious if you could talk about when we should expect this? And then I guess more generally speaking, as you get your pricing structure in place, how do we think about a more balanced volume and value growth in the U.S. going forward? I know right now it does make sense to work on pricing, but potentially the expense of volume growth. So curious, if that's going to change over time and how do you see that balance working out, you know maybe past your pricing structure plans?\nHi Lauren. I think in terms of the market share you asked, I mean when we got here two, two and a half years ago, we liked a lot of things we saw. One of the things we didn't like so much was the fact that 30% of our volume in the U.S. was being sold in the so-called sub-premium value price segment. We didn't like that, especially the difference between those products and our mainstream products, Bud and Bud Light of 25% or more sometimes. So, we set ourselves to change that and that's what we're doing and we'll continue to do that until we reach the 15% price difference. That's our target because that's what we see in other countries where we operate and that's what we see in other consumer products category. So, we are committed to that and the share we're losing is because of the fact that \u2013 because of the way we implemented price increases, especially last time around in 2010 September, when we put a much higher price increase in our sub-premium or value brands, and that of course caused us to deemphasize that segment and share loss. Of course, we're trying to pick that up with Bud and Bud Light, and the high-end products, but that will take a while to get even. But we're very committed to it because we think that's the right way for the future and we're always, as you know committed to the short-term, but also to the long-term. In terms of volume and price, what we all know is that beer compared to other consumer product categories tend to be more inelastic than some other categories, and added to that the fact that we have models that show that the industry volume in the U.S. today is being much more impacted by consumer confidence and unemployment especially among our core consumers. We saw an opportunity to start doing the price layering because we think it should be now, and not wait for anything else. So, I'm pretty confident, that that's the right thing to do for the future. But again, when you lead a market, yes, you have some short-term pains when you're trying to do the right thing for the future, and we've proven in other markets that we're willing to go through that short-term pains, if it's for something that's for the good of the margins and the business in the future. So that's what we are committed to do in the U.S.\nIf I could just follow up quickly on the U.S. Yesterday, MillerCoors talked about sales-to-retailers according to Nielsen being down mid-single digits for them, I guess partially due to weather. I know you don't typically give monthly data, but is there any insight you could give us as far as how your trends may be shaping up?\nNo, I mean, sorry, but we're here to talk about the first quarter. So, we don't give information on future months. So, I would stick to what we have here in our press release.\nYour next question comes from Chris Pitcher of Redburn.\nChris Pitcher \u2013 Redburn\nGood afternoon. A quick question on the impressive revenue perhaps led to growth in Brazil. I mean, you've given the key drivers behind that. I wonder if you can give us a bit more color on how that market is likely to play out. It seems like your pricing actually is slightly above inflation. Mix isn't mentioned as an important driver in Brazil. I just wonder, whether that's something to come forward? And then to give us a bit more color on where you are in terms of your own distribution and when that benefit to revenue will start to run through? And then finally, with the excise duty increases to come, will that get absorbed into this net sales per hectoliter improvement or will you look to pass that on as well? I'm just trying to get a feel for how those four different levers within Brazil are working and maybe focus more on the mix potential going forward? Thanks.\nWell Chris, hi good morning. First question on price in Brazil; let me step back and give you a picture for Brazil very simple, we will help answer the questions. I think last year \u2013 last two years, 2009 and 2010, what we've seen in Brazil, it's an amazing volume growth, market share growth, brand health growth, largely fueled by innovations that we brought to the marketplace. On the other hand, we saw flat margins, and we also saw lot of tight capacity, a lot of CapEx, but always a bit \u2013 still lagging what the market was demanding. On the other hand, what we built last year in 2010 is that we ended the year with a record market share of 70% plus, 71%, and that is what we called the fact that we were building options for the future. So, the fact that we had a record market share gave us some room to be more aggressive on some of the things we wanted to do this year in 2011. So, this year, what we're doing is that since consumers wouldn't be as well-off in terms of real term wage gain as they have been on the last many years, they'll again be much better off next year, but this year 2011, they would have pretty much no real salary increase. We decided it to be a good year to use this optionality of the highest share ever to start fixing some things in the pricing tree, mainly in terms of the one-way segment that has a lower margin than the returnable bottle segment. So, as we increased prices last year, we did a higher increase on the one-way segment, which again, you pay a price in the present, but it's for a good cause in the future. We're also taking advantage to put the price we can, and to your third question, yes we're going to pass again taxes to consumers, so another price increase, and with that margin expanded, that bodes well with the fact that we still have tight capacity in Brazil, a lot of capacity has come in the second half and the fact that consumers would be less well off than in previous years. So, we've decided to take advantage of this all new mix of 2011, go more aggressive with pricing, generating therefore a different mix between price and volume, but still generating a very healthy top line. So, that will be the mantra if you will for 2011, and with that, we should see margin expanding again as opposed to last year's when margins were flat. So, I don't know if that answers your question, but that's the big picture on how we are thinking about Brazil this year as opposed to last two years and why.\nOkay and in terms of (Inaudible), the mix effect within the Brazilian business, I mean, a lot of your present \u2013 your results may have been highlighting the mix benefit in the U.S., mix benefit at the group level from innovation. In Brazil, it seems to be lesser than the other focuses that's something that's still to come. And then just to confirm the excise duty increase, that will have a volume affect if anything rather than a net sales impact later effect?\nYeah, but I think \u2013 again, when you look at our top line, it's a mix of many things. As I think we mentioned in the press release, which is, it's not only the price increase, but also direct distribution increase that also helps net revenues per hectoliter and also the fact that for the first quarter, the excise tax was flat. So, that also helps. As excise increased, we passed that on to prices. It was a small increase. I\u2019m pretty confident it won't affect volumes that much given that we had a much higher price increase before that, but that's important to show the discipline that whenever we have a tax increase, we pass to the consumers. I think that's an important discipline that we should have in all other countries.\nOkay. Thanks very much.\nYour next question comes Trevor Stirling of Sanford C. Bernstein.\nTrevor Stirling \u2013 Sanford C. Bernstein\nTwo questions please, Brito and Felipe. The first one, I just want to check one thing. On an ABI level, you\u2019ve guided to low single-digit unit COGS inflation and InBev have guided to COGS inflation in line with local inflation. So is that to right to imply that you have close to flat COGS for the rest of the world.\nIt's fair to imply that the rest of the world will have much better performance than the InBev countries and, yes, we continue to guide to the low single-digits increase.\nAnd the second question, you mentioned Brito the 25% to 15% gap. How much of that have you closed with this year's pricing actions?\nWe closed some of it, but this is very dynamic as you can imagine because it depends a lot on mix of regions, mix of brands. But again, I think more important than what we have closed already is the fact that we've committed to continue to narrow that gap to what we think makes sense. When you look Trevor, at the countries where we do business, in none of our countries who have value brands or sub-premium brands of ours selling at a 25% discount to our mainstream brands or premium brands. So that was an anomaly that we found here, and we are on course to correct that. Of course, we're not going to do this in one price increase, it will take some years, but that's the direction we're going.\nThank you very much Brito and Felipe.\nYou\u2019re welcome Trevor.\nThank you Trevor.\nYour next question comes from Nico Lambrechts of Bank of America Merrill Lynch.\nNico Lambrechts \u2013 Bank of America Merrill Lynch\nGood morning, Brito. Good morning, Felipe.\nGood morning Nico.\nI\u2019ve got three questions, if I may. First of all; the first question, in your outlook statement at February you made a comment that you expect momentum to build in the second quarter and into the second half. As you said, you left most of your outlook unchanged, but you did admit the statement. Would it be fair to say that the second quarter momentum might be a little bit weaker than what you expected at the time when you gave that guidance? That's the first question. Second question is relating to the interest charge. At the moment, the consensus is expecting 2.4 billion interest charge including the other \u2013 this is a recurring interest at 2.4 billion, 760 for the first quarter. Do you think that the market is too conservative on that and maybe Felipe, you can give us a little bit more color on the underlying interest coupon, et cetera, and how we should think about that? The third question is, on COGS per hectoliter, you're guiding to low single digits, but as I understand that that is the mix COGS per hectoliter impact. So it includes your hedging impact, but also includes cost savings and other efficiency gains. Could you maybe give us a feel for how much contribution to the COGS per hectoliter, the procurement savings and the efficiency gains would give? Reason for the question is just to benchmark that with the other consumer goods companies who give us a gross input cost figure and then quote, say, cost savings number opposed to that. Thank you very much.\nNico, well let\u2019s start from the last question, cost of sales per hectoliter, and you know the permanent search for better efficiency is a way of work. It's very hard to quantify what is driven by procurement, what is driven by cost efficiencies, but we have very much a kind of a balance between both initiatives and our cost of sales per hectoliter. Our guidance for the full year is adjusted by geographic mix, which is \u2013 well it drives at least during the first quarter, drove a number higher than the reported one. Moving to the net interest charges, the expected coupon remains between to 6% and 6.5% and we pointed out to the fact that 35% \u2013 about 35% of total debt is linked to currencies other than dollars and that should put some pressure on the translation of local interest charges in local currencies into U.S. dollars, but on balance that should help the translation out for overall EBITDA number and remain fully on track to the two times net debt to EBITDA by 2012. Within interest charges, we have accretion expenses that ballpark it's -- it's a reasonably stable number, about 40 million per quarter and has been like that, and in other financial results we've pointed out to the fact that we enter into some derivatives as hedging transactions for the equity-based compensation and in our full year results as published in March, it is disclosed the fact that we have about or the equivalent to 15 million shares outstanding and the market-to-market results of the 15 million shares should be affecting our P&L as we cannot apply hedge accounting. By the end of December, the closing price was over \u20ac42 per share, by the end of the first quarter the closing price was just over \u20ac40 per share. So, it's about \u20ac2 times 15 million shares that is \u20ac30 million, you convert that to dollar, so you can have an idea of the magnitude of that impact, which accounts for about 70% of the other financial results. Aside from debt, we have the annual bank fees and taxes paid on bank transactions on the ordinary course of business. We may have some currency fluctuations for companies that are not reporting in U.S. dollars as part of the consolidation process as per IFRS, but you can clearly see that the biggest impact came from the market-to-market adjustments on the hedge transactions for the equity based compensation. So, Brito is going to address the first question.\nMay I just ask for some follow-up before you hand over to Brito?\nJust on the interest charge, 6% to 6.5%, is the pressure on the coupon going down or up if we had to just to see in terms of your variable component of your [debt]?\nThis coupon is between to 6% to 6.5%. You should expect that the local or that linkage of currencies other than dollars when translated into U.S. dollars should drive a higher number, but on balance the EBITDA is also higher. So that is almost a wash.\nGot it. And then on COGS per hectoliter, I know you've given net number. Should we assume that some of the synergy cost savings or the cost savings numbers that you do quote might be captured in the COGS per hectoliter number? So some of the 75 million savings that you achieved in this quarter?\nIt's a fair assumption.\nYou're confirming that?\nYes, some of the 75 million is being captured at the COGS line.\nOkay, so if we put full 75, we might be double counting. That's clear. Thank you very much Felipe and Brito.\nI was going to say Nico that on your first question about volume outlook, what we said in our last press release concerning full year, or fiscal year 2010 in March, we said that we expect first quarter volumes to be soft, impacted by the high unemployment in the U.S. and heavy rains in Brazil, with volume momentum building from second quarter 2011 into the second half, and we continue to support that statement. That's volume statement.\nSo it will start recovering from the second quarter or more from the second half?\nBuilding momentum from the second quarter\u2026\nBuilding momentum from the second quarter into the second half, that's for volume.\nYou\u2019re welcome Nico.\nYour next question come from Andrea Pistacchi of Citi.\nAndrea Pistacchi \u2013 Citigroup\nYes, hi. Hi, Carlos and Felipe. I had a couple of questions on cost lines in your North American business. If I look at the G&A, so stripping out marketing spend in North America, it increased, I believe, by about 1% organically, which is including obviously some benefit of cost savings, and it's the first increase, really, since you took over the business. So, I was wondering what is driving that. The second one on marketing spend in North America, of your incremental marketing in this quarter, only around 10 million was in North America. Should we expect, in the coming quarters, a further step-up in North America, particularly as your NFL deal kicks in April? Thanks.\nWell you\u2019re welcome. So, let me start from the sales and marketing. We guided towards mid to high single-digits increase for the Company at a consolidated level for the full year and what was done in the first quarter, it's towards that direction. If you take into account the increase for the quarter of $52 million as compared to the $202 million organic growth at the EBITDA line. So, that is a sizable increase. We are committed to the North America business and we have lots of progress behind the brands, but sales and marketing on a quarterly basis will have its soft seasonality. We continue to work towards efficiencies within the U.S. market which is shifting non-working money into working money. Therefore, the money being invested should have a much better quality. Part of the synergies that we captured during the first quarter were captured in admin or G&A line, part of the 75, now addressing your first question, and that is helping to offset the cost escalation or cost pressure we've seen. So, yes, we expect to keep a tight grip on cost management and that is very much across the board, across all countries we operate.\nYour next question comes form Caroline Levy of CLSA.\nCaroline Levy \u2013 CLSA\nGood morning, everybody. Couple of questions. Your CapEx is up. It looks like about 30% this year will be up, and I'm assuming that's largely because of Brazil. But what are the plans for CapEx this year, and longer-term in North America, where volume is substantially off the high levels of a few years ago? Is there opportunity to actually reduce capital in U.S.?\nThe expected CapEx increase is from $2.1 billion of last year to between $2.7 billion to $2.9 billion. Additional capacity is primarily in Brazil as you said, but also in China as we are expanding our business there significantly and the so called Focus Brands being Budweiser and Harbin continue to grow at high double-digits number. But we have overall investments in Western Europe as well as North America, but that is more linked to consumer products, potentially new packaging and innovation be in liquid, be in packaging that sometimes require additional CapEx not necessarily capacity. But there are also programs that should drive cost productivity and with payback of less than two to three years and that is being executed in U.S. as well as Western Europe more mature markets and that is also the case for developing markets as well, but new capacity is primarily Brazil and China.\nSo, is that the run rate then for CapEx going forward? It's not going to go down from this level?\nWell, it may eventually go down from this level. A higher CapEx for us is a good problem to have because there is a fraction of better volumes expectations. That's why we increased the number from 2010 to 2011.\nOkay. And then, if I could just move to \u2013 you talk about the brand health scores on the U.S. brands, and I wonder if you could help us a little bit, are these off relatively low bases that you're seeing improvement, or how can we get comfortable that the Budweiser brand is really ever going to move into positive territory? If you could just help us understand that a little bit I think it would be critical, because in particular, as you go into the rest of the year in the US, your comps are actually much more difficult. This was your easy volume comp.\nWell, first in terms of brand health. It is Brito here. In terms of brand health for the U.S. Brands, I mean as we mentioned before Bud Light is at highest brand health metrics that we've seen and the gap to competition in the Light segment continues to widen, so that's very good. That's bodes well with the fact that it's gaining share for the last two, three years, so those two are going hand in hand. What we see for Budweiser is a lot what we've seen for Stella Artois for example in the U.K. where it takes some years, brand health comes first, share will follow and that's what we are doing. I mean, first we define was a gap that we needed to close, then we went, did a lot of consumer search and asked the famous three questions that you should ask for any brand; what's working well with the brand, so we keep it? What's not working so well, so we get rid off? What should be added to the marketing mix or the brand position, so as to continue to build on the iconic status of the Great American Lager, Budweiser? So that's what we did. We came with a new campaign. We put more money behind the brand and the share loss that last year was 60 basis point is now 40 basis points, and before you grow a brand you need to stabilize a brand, and the important thing to say is also the Budweiser global volume is growing. So, despite the shortfall in the U.S., when you add the growth in markets like China, U.K., Russia and others, you see that the Budweiser as a global brand is back into growth after 20 years of being in [negative] territories. So that is all very encouraging. And again, we see cases in our business very recently of brands that were long-term decline and that we are able to turnaround. If you go Brazil, Brahma and Antarctica were also some years ago a typical case of brands that had been declining for 20 years, and in the last five or six, they have been growing again, of course from a different base, but again the top three brands in the country. So very meaningful. So, we have a track record of doing that. We have great people looking at this, and we are putting our money where our mouth is and we're very committed to stabilize first and then eventually grow the brand.\nThank you and then if I might just on China, I thought you included Sedrin as one of your focus brands there, and it wasn't mentioned in the growth rate in the first quarter. So if you could just update us on that?\nYes, Sedrin is part of our Focus Brands in China. Of course, it doesn't have the same growth rate as Budweiser and Harbin do, but it's a very profitable brand, very strong in two provinces, but we tend to talk more about Bud and Harbin because they are more national brands. I mean Budweiser is for sure national brand and Harbin, I would say, quasi-national brand, so that's why we tend to focus more on those two.\nAnd then, finally, thank you, but if I might just ask about the health of the consumer in North America, it's really interesting that the soft drinks and snacks companies are saying that March and April have been continuation of improving trends in convenience stores, and yet household products and beer have said things have gotten much harder. And I'm just wondering what your observations are from the field from your distributors as to what's going on with the U.S. consumer and if you can shed any light?\nWell, as we said in our last press release is that we see some signs of more consumer activity, but those signs are yet to be confirmed. But, yes, if you go through our business in the U.S., you see states, cities, counties, where things are getting better and still see some others where things are still going sideways. So, again, in the meantime, we're trying to do what we can control. We're trying to act on levers we can control, the economy we can't. So, we're trying to continue to grow the brand health, continue to have great planning for the summer season, that's very important for our business being a very seasonal business, and continue to get that price where it should be, because again, beer tend to be more inelastic than other categories and we should reflect that in our pricing architecture.\nYour next question comes from James Edwardes Jones of Espirito Santo Investment Bank.\nJames Edwardes Jones \u2013 Espirito Santo Investment Bank\nYes, hello. Could you say a little bit about what's happening in response to the price increases in the sub-premium brands in the U.S.? Are consumers leaving the [cash figure] they trading up into other Anheuser-Busch brands, or are they defecting to competitor, or are they just buying less sub-premium beer? Is there anything you can do to expand on that?\nWell, the main effect of that differentiated price increase that we implemented in September last year was that consumers up-traded to premium brands. So that's why Budweiser was also in part benefited; Bud Light in the high end of the market. So, of course, you have what we call the bottom feeders so as you increase your price for your value brands or sub-premium brands, some others will try to catch you in terms of lower prices. So, you have that also that dynamics happen, but I think the main one is the consumer up-trade.\nAnd you're in succeeding retaining them within the AB portfolio?\nWell, I cannot say 100%, but when you look at the trends for Budweiser, again better than last year when you look at trends for Bud Light accelerating from the last year and the high end growing, I think that's all part of the \u2013 the differentiated price increase was definitely part of this dynamics.\nJames Edwardes Jones \u2013 Esprito Santo Investment Bank\nYour next questions comes from Mark Swartzberg of Stifel Nicolaus.\nMark Swartzberg \u2013 Stifel Nicolaus\nThanks. Morning, Brito. Morning, Felipe.\nReally a follow-up on the question that just preceded, can you talk a little bit more about plans to improve the sub-premium share trends, and is it reasonable to think you can do that without getting at least a little bit more promotional on those brands kind of tweaking pricing down on those specific brands?\nWell, I think what we want in the sub-premium brands or value in those segment is really have our fair share. We don't want to \u2013 when we say deemphasize those brands, we're not seeing about abandoning those brands. Those brands are very important volume wise. Of course, margin wise they are less important, but they are part of all our combo, our business in the U.S. So we continue to support the brands in a more tactical way maybe than we support other brands that are more in an equity base, but again, we want to have our fair share, but we're not willing to grow the segment; quite the opposite, we're trying to get consumers to up-trade to the upper segments.\nAnd when you say support, you're talking about some of that increased spend going behind the sub-premium?\nWell, sub-premium, they are more about tactical and promotional activities. By promotional, we're trying to get to be smarter in terms of promotion. We've put a lot of science in understanding what kind of promotions drive value as opposed to ones that just give you volume, but don't add any value, and we're trying to use that learning to balance a little bit of what's happening in the sub-premium category. But, again, the direction is to maintain our fair share in that segment, but to de-emphasize the segment, which is 30% of the industry in our view too large for a market as profitable and as rich in terms of consumers compared to other markets as the U.S. markets.\nYour next question comes from Mitch Collett of Goldman Sachs. Mitch your line is open. Your next question comes from Ian Shackleton of Nomura.\nIan Shackleton \u2013 Nomura\nYes, good morning, gentlemen.\nFollowing from Brazil, I know you're rather used to this time of the year to pricing up, and it takes some time for the competition to follow, and you do tend to lose share in Q1. But I just wonder if it was slightly different this time, because it does strike me you've got your two local competitors in Brazil with probably a slightly shorter-term agenda at the moment. Or really, frankly, is it just like you've always seen? Is there nothing different this year?\nNo, I mean, what's different this year it's two things. I mean, first we started from a much higher share position in terms of a price increase initiation than many years before because it was a record market share. So, that's good because, again, it's about building options so you can use those options and because of that optionality, we came up also with a much bigger price increase than with any years prior. So, of course, that again is a new dynamics that we're trying to have in the Brazil market this year given where consumers are compared to last few years in terms of minimal wage, not having that real increase about inflation, and the fact that we have some tight capacity, and the fact that beer is relatively inelastic, and our very high market share at the beginning of the price increase, we decided to be more aggressive, also decided to differentiate it and that we put more of the price increase on the one-way segments, which for us in the short-term puts pressure on our market share, but it's absolutely the right thing to do for the future given that the margins on that package type is lower than the returnable package. So, we took an advantage of the options we built by ending the year with a very high market share, by trying to correct and get that margin to expand again in Brazil.\nPerhaps just a follow-up, on the commercial agenda, you talked a lot about innovation in Brazil, and I know there is a lot going on in Western Europe as well, you aren't talking about the U.S. at this stage. Is it too soon, is the innovation story more about 2012 for the U.S.?\nI think the last big innovation we had in the U.S. in the last two years was Bud Light Lime and that showed up that when you have a big idea grounded in solid consumer insight, our system can really execute really very well and that brand made a big difference in our numbers, So, of course, we are looking for some more of those, but also trying to fill our pipeline. And if you look at what we've been doing in the marketplace, again, not a second Bud Light Lime for sure, but we have launched Shock Top Raspberry. We're bringing Alexander Keith's to the U.S. market. We have Margaritaville, Spiked Tea and Lemonade, which addresses the fast growing FAB segments. We launched Stella Artois, the high-end Chalice can. We also did a small thing, new news, but it's generating a lot of buzz in the social media space, which is (Inaudible) labels on Bud Light where you can write using a pen or a coin, your name or the number of your bottle or whatever you want, and communicate to other people in bars. At Budweiser also we have the flavor Lock Crown with the red tab and also Shock Top in 22 ounce bottles. So, I mean, there's a lot of things going on. They are not, of course, of the same magnitude of the Bud Light Lime, but Bud Light Lime only happens every few years. But in the meantime, we've been very active bringing new products and new package innovation to the marketplace, but there's more to come.\nOkay, thanks very much.\nYour next question comes from Paul Hofman of Credit Agricole.\nPaul Hofman \u2013 Credit Agricole\nYes, hi, good morning, Paul Hofman from Credit Agricole Chevreaux. One question left, perhaps, on the cost of goods sold. You reiterate your statements of low single digits it's now nearly 4% per hectoliter. Are you expecting an easing, or at least not a worsening, during the remainder of this year? This is a bit contrary to what other brewers are saying. So where do you believe you differ, is it just savings elements? Is it simply the visibility coming from hedging? Yes, what can you tell about the outlook for the remainder of the year? Thank you.\nThe first quarter is expected to be one of the toughest quarter in terms of cost of sales per hectoliter. In part, it was a \u2013 it's still affected by imported cans in Brazil, for example. As we move towards the coming quarters, we should see some improvements on that and that's why we're confirming the guidance of low single-digits.\nPaulHofman \u2013 Credit Agricole\nYour next question comes from Gerard Rijk of ING.\nGerard Rijk \u2013 ING\nYes, good morning, few questions. First one on Brazil, you're quite heavily investing there. Can you give some percentage numbers of capacity expansion you expect from this in 2011 and 2012? Also on Brazil, you're talking about fourth quarter price increases, fourth quarter 2010. Has there also been price increases in March 2011? And then, on Central and Eastern Europe, the volume recovery of, let's say, only 4% versus a decline last year first quarter of around 16%, 17%, that's quite a limited improvement. Maybe you can elaborate on it. And you're still talking about market share gains quarter-on-quarter, first quarter on first quarter, in Russia. Does it mean that that Russian market only grew by such a low percentage of single digit? And finally, on Asia-Pacific, about your expansion there, how about your \u2013 it is quite a big expansion in hectoliters in capacity. Concerning costs and benefits, how is that facing? Is that still in 2011 a lot of costs that are going on and benefits only later maybe in 2013, 2014?\nIn terms of the capacity, it's a competitor-sensitive issue, so I won't be that specific in terms of how much we're adding. What I can tell you is that as we said in the press release that we're building capacity not only in the Northeast, but mainly in the Northeast and that should ease our product availability with the new brewery in Pernambuco and offshore logistics cost. In March, yes, there was another price increase, March-April, because of the excise tax, not as big of course as the December or last quarter one, but there was another one to pass the federal tax increase. In Russia, 4% volume growth; you have to remember that taxes was a big impact in that whole market. That whole market is still trying to digest a 200% excise tax increase plus inflation. So, we had to pass that all to prices; the excise tax plus the inflation, which is 8% or so. So, I mean, all that, of course, impacted the industry, impacted the market. We're just glad to see that volumes are on positive territory and our share is evolving in a positive way.\nIs that 4% on shipment or on IRI?\n4% is pretty much \u2013 over there you don't have those kinds of strings. I mean, it's pretty much on secondary and primary sales pretty much the same the 4.1% I mentioned here. In terms of China, the Greenfields, we're very excited about the expansion strategy in China because again, now we have two national brands; one national Budweiser, one that's getting very fast to be a national brand Harbin. The good thing about our Greenfields in China is that they are at much lower risk than other Greenfields in that when we build a Greenfields in a region X we already have a base volume of Budweiser being sold in that region with very high margins, but being transported from a very high distance across the country. So, as you build the Greenfield you already have a 30%, 40% capacity occupation just by bringing home or to that new brewery that Budweiser volume at much better margins because of transportation cost. So, it's at much lower risk and the fact that you have the relative market already established in that market for Budweiser already helps Harbin as you introduce Harbin as well. So, it's a much lower risk Greenfield and that's why we are accelerating it and doing more of it.\nYour next question comes from Alice Longley of Buckingham Research.\nAlice Longley \u2013 Buckingham\nHi, good morning. I have a couple of questions about timing in Brazil. I think you've said that your distribution costs should become more favorable in the second half, and also the cost of cans more favorable in the second half. Does that mean that they don't become more favorable in the second quarter? What's the timing of improvement in those two variables?\nWell, the main impact caused by imported cans is affecting the first quarter primarily, and it shouldn't be that material or not material at all as we move into the second quarter, and that is taking place primarily in Brazil. Our guidance is for the full-year and for the Company as a whole and as we see improvements coming in the next quarter starting in the second quarter, but going to the second half as well.\nAnd distribution costs will also be less of a pressure in the second quarter than the first?\nAt a consolidated level, yes, and as we get into the third quarter we should face easier comps, and for the full year, we are confident to be able to keep that growing at the mid single-digits.\nOkay. Then my other question about Brazil is with volume. I know you're saying that you're favoring pricing over volume this year for the various reasons you cited, but the flooding and weather hurt the first quarter, so is it fair to assume that volume is some better in the second quarter than the first quarter, and maybe you can quantify how much you think the flooding and weather hurt the first quarter volume?\nNo, sorry Alice. We cannot give you guidance more than the one we gave in our outlook session, saying that volume wise the first quarter would be soft for the Company as a whole, and it should accelerate in the second quarter and going into the second half of the year. That's as much as we're willing to say right now.\nOkay. Do you think the second half would be better than the second quarter?\nAgain, I would stick to the wordings we have in our outlook session.\nOkay. And then my last question is about the high-end brands in the U.S., your STRs were 14.2%, and I think you said that you gained share at the high-end, how much, looking at all the retailers together, how fast do you think the high-end grew in the quarter in that sector?\nWell, we don't have that number as a public number at this point, but it's growing as you know. But we\u2019re growing within that segment. So, it's a segment that\u2019s even within tough economic times, it's growing with high priced beers, high margins. The fact that we bought Goose Island and the brands that we already have supporting and growing like Stella and Shock Top will continue to give us an edge in that market in which we have lots and much to do because it's a share where we indexed compared to the other segments in the market.\nCan you quantify how much share you did gain there?\nNo, we are not giving this number out, I don't think.\nOkay. And I guess I'll add one about you gained share with Bud Light. Did you gain share of the premium light segment, or just gain share of the beer market?\nLet me check here, but I think \u2013 let me see. We gained share within the \u2013 just a second. Yes, right here. Premium light, yes, we did gain share on the premium light segment.\nWithin that segment?\nAlice Longley \u2013 Buckingham Research Group\nOkay, super. Thanks a lot.\nYour next question comes from Kris Kippers of Petercam.\nKris Kippers \u2013 Petercam\nYes, good afternoon. Thank you for taking my calls, too. I had a small question regarding your U.S. market again. You lost market share, 60 basis points in Q1. And I was just wondering, is this something you feel comfortable with, going forward? As a matter of fact with, for example, antitrust authorities, should you have any opportunity to move more towards the high end, for example when taking more control of local cross brewers, or for example, when any solution would come up for [Modelo], is that something you could confirm, or is it just a result of the strategy? Thank you.\nNo, the 60 basis points, of course, we don't feel comfortable. We are not in the business of losing share, but we understand that this is the price we're paying for the strategy we decided to adopt last year and that we put more of our price increase in September in the sub-premium category and then of course put pressure on that segment and forced consumers in a way or gave them an incentive to up-trade, which was the whole idea. So, of course, we're not happy with it. We're trying to regain that shares as I said in our press release, but with the right mix, that's what's important, with the right mix.\nOkay. And then just a follow-on regarding Brazil, regarding your timing of the launch of Bud. I feel that there is some postponement in there, why is it not launched again in Q2, is it due to capacity constrains again or\u2026?\nYes. You got it exactly right. I mean as you know, capacity in Brazil has been tight, especially the last two years as the consequence of the amazing growth we had in industry and share. So we decided it was not a good idea to put one more product on top of everything else to complicate the capacity issues even more. So we want to do a great launch for Bud and for that we need to wait for capacity to come on stream.\nOkay and then just one question on Brazil still. With Heineken, do you see any change yet in the aggressiveness of actions in the high end markets already or is it too early to say?\nI think, Heineken has been in Brazil now for many years. So it's not new to the Brazilian market. So it's good to have someone in the Brazilian market now that we'll be competing in terms of building brands and not discounting prices. So, Heineken is welcome.\nOkay, perfect. Thank you, guys.\nWell, thank you very much and I think we\u2019ll have one more.\nYour final question comes from Chris Pitcher of Redburn.\nThanks for the follow-up. I'll keep them very short, hopefully. Just in terms of the U.S. and the branding, it's been a while now since Keith Levy left. Should we be waiting for a replacement for that role? And you mentioned at the full year results that you were attracting good new talent to North American business. Could you respond to the article in the Wall Street Journal recently saying morale's pretty low there? And then finally, Felipe, a quick question for you. You've had the credit rating upgrade, and there are some pretty decent chunks of debt maturing over the short-term, is there anything you can say about whether we should expect refinancing to take place, or whether you'd just let debt mature? Just trying to get a feel for the interest guidance, that is as it stands, or whether that does include any future plans for refinancing. Thanks.\nWell, Chris, we've been doing engagement surveys as we call it since six years and what we've seen is that every time you merge with an operation, engagement goes down in the first two years, a couple of years, which is totally normal because of all the changes that you have to implement, but then the beauty of this process is that it's all about listening. It's all about knowing where the gaps are, what kind of information people need, what kind of questions are being not answered at this point, and it's all about communication building trusts and being available for Q&A. And we have a plan for that, so what's happening in the U.S., it's totally exactly the same what happened in Western Europe, what happened back then, with the survey that we had in Latin American South with Quilmes, so it's totally normal. Canada was the same. I mean, it's just a question of listening, waiting for the changes to be implemented, digested and start building that trust with the people that stayed in the Company.\nSpecific to Keith Levy's replacement, I think the time you said Frank Abenante was going to replace him temporarily\u2026\nYeah, Frank Abenante is doing a great job. He is, I would say one of the top two marketers in our Company and so you feel very confident in having Frank there in the U.S., but of course, that's a temporary measure. He is putting a lot of the house in order there, and shortly, we're going to be announcing replacement for him, not on a temporary basis, but on a permanent basis.\nChris Pitcher \u2013 Redburn Partners\nChris, addressing your second question, as we were able to restructure the debt maturity profile significantly during 2009 and beginning of 2010, we adopted and approached the market, which was much more driven on small transactions on an opportunistic basis, really focused on pricing, and that has been in place since the second half of last year very much and that should continue to be the approach going forward.\nWell, thank you very much everyone for participating. Thank you very much for your time. Have a great day and we'll see you all next quarter. Thanks a lot. Bye, bye.\nCopyright policy: All transcripts on this site are the copyright of Seeking Alpha.

        "raw_content": "Home \u203a Blog \u203a The \"bris-less\" bris\nThe \"bris-less\" bris\nAn article in this week's Forward describes the growing opposition to circumcision among American Jews, and the development of \u201cbris-less\u201d bris rituals. Although circumcision is generally considered a pretty elemental aspect of Jewish practice and identity for males, this story certainly wasn\u2019t surprising to me. I\u2019ve had many debates with Jewish friends about this issue, and struggled with the decision of whether to circumcise my son (we did, and I cried through the whole thing). None of my non-Jewish friends who have little boys have chosen to circumcise them. But what I found most interesting about this anti-circumcision trend is the fact that it has caused the rise of interest in and creativity around the bris ritual. Thanks to feminism, for the past 30-odd years American Jews have put a lot of creative energy into baby naming ceremonies for girls, in an effort to develop a meaningful ritual parallel to the bris (but without the blood). Bris ceremonies, however, have remained remarkably unchanged, seemingly ossified in their ritual solemnity. When we were planning for the birth of our twins (a boy and a girl) last fall, my husband and I spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of ceremony we wanted to create to welcome them into our community. We were struck by the almost overwhelming freedom and beautiful options for a baby naming ceremony for our daughter, while we came across fewer creative options for boys. For the first time, I thought about how freeing it is NOT to have a long ritual history to a particular tradition. And, as always, I felt very grateful to Jewish feminists who came before us and empowered us to create a personally meaningful ritual for our children. I\u2019m glad to see that this feminist impulse has moved onto the next frontier \u2013 adding creative juice to traditional rituals for boys.\nMore on: Children, Ritual, Circumcision, Baby Naming Ceremony\nThere are a few uncircumcised Israeli boys, born since 1990 or so to secular parents. There is organised opposition to brit milah. Most Israeli men born in the Soviet Block and who have immigrated to Israel in the past 35 years or so, have declined to have a belated bris. Bris is in conflict with the sexual sophistication of secular Israel.\nSchvach 12 years ago\nNot long ago I came across a piece on the web that reported that the one constant Jewish religious practice throughout Israeli society, regardless of the level of religious belief, was the custom of circumcising newborn male children. According to this report, even the so-called 'secular' Jews of Israel opted for circumcision.\nI am quite prepared to believe the circumcision is not terrible. I was circumcised, I enjoy sex, and feel, overall, like a normal, not-particularly-neurotic person. For all that, I do have trouble understanding why ritual mutilation is still a usual part of Jewish practice. Thank you for bringing this up.\nRosenbaum, Judith. \"The \"bris-less\" bris.\" 20 July 2007. Jewish Women's Archive. (Viewed on February 15, 2019) <https://jwa.org/blog/bris-less-bris>.",

        "title": "6 Tips on Timing Your Sales Calls Just Right",
        "raw_content": "Closing deals and getting warm leads over the phone is more than about being confident and well versed in delivering a well-practiced and effective sales pitch. Sometimes, it\u2019s not about how you do it but when you do it that makes all the difference.\nOne of the key considerations when making calls to business prospects is timing it when they are most likely to give you positive feedback and undivided attention. Below, we\u2019ll share some tips on the best times to make that call to and close that deal.\n1. Pick up the phone on Wednesdays and Thursdays\nMondays are usually the most hectic day of the week and people are just getting into work mode again, so calling on a Monday morning will probably be a waste of time. You\u2019re likely to find someone grumpy at the other end of the line. You\u2019ll also want to avoid calling on Fridays as most people are already in weekend mode and your call might be forgotten over the next couple of days while they are out of the office.\nTry calling on Wednesdays and Thursdays for best results. According to the Lead Response Management study, these two days are the best when calling to qualify leads. This is probably because people are already in the middle of the work week and are in their most productive state when it comes to dealing with different people and getting work done.\n2. Do it first thing in the morning or right after lunch\nTime your calls when people are just about to begin their day. That way, they are not preoccupied with something yet and will most likely give you their full attention. The best time to call in the morning is between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. as they just came from breakfast and are most likely in the mood to start their work day, but probably not yet in the middle of a project.\nIf you didn\u2019t catch them in the morning, try calling again after they had lunch at around 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. The trick is to get them when they are not yet in the middle of what they are doing in the day so that they are receptive and accommodating to what you have to say.\n3. Avoid these bad timings during the day\nYou can call first thing in the morning or early in the afternoon but avoid picking up the phone from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. as these are dead hours. This window is when people step away from their desks and are out of the office to have lunch or do short errands.\nAdditional tips For making sales calls\nApart from knowing the best times to call, you should also take note of some best practices to make sure you maximize your time with a potential prospect or business lead.\n4. Get to know the person you are cold-calling beforehand\nMany people don\u2019t like receiving cold calls, especially if the caller seems like they just randomly picked you out from a pool of people they want to sell something to.\nTry to make your calls targeted by personalizing it and doing a little background research about the person you are connecting with so you can add a personal touch to an otherwise \u201ccold\u201d conversation. Doing so will make them appreciate the fact that you put in effort to know something about them and will increase the chances that they\u2019ll listen to what you have to say.\nThis route also saves you some time. Knowing the background of the person will give you a good idea if what you\u2019re selling is even relevant to them in the first place.\nAdditionally, try to get the personal landline of the person instead of going through the general mainline. This way, there\u2019s a higher possibility that your prospect will be the one to answer the call and will not be filtered by a receptionist.\n5. Remember, send a follow-up email after hanging up\nWhether it is a product brochure or a simple thank you email detailing your next action steps\u2014such as when you will be following up on their feedback\u2014it is ideal to make the call official by sending proper documentation summarizing what has been discussed so that both parties are aligned with their expectations. This can also be used by your prospect as a future reference point and can be helpful in serving as information material to help them make their decision.\n6. Use a great phone service to make your calls\nSalespeople make a lot of calls on a daily basis, so it's sometimes hard to keep track on who you called and what you talked about. One of the best tools sales people can use to help with this problem is a great phone service.\nSome of the features these phone services have include call transcription that can be downloaded via email and a call recording feature, which can come in handy for critical and important sales calls. Some phone service providers also use cloud-based systems allowing agents to take and make calls directly from their laptops or desktops.\nGetting warm prospects through cold sales calls is definitely an effective way to grow your business. However, making an effective call entails a balance of knowing how and when to do it so you get the most out of your calls.\nWhile these tips are a good jumping off point, it takes time and practice to determine what strategy will work best for your business. Try applying the basic tips we\u2019ve provided above and customizing them based on the results of your continued sales calls.",

        "raw_content": "Doctoral (PhD) student position in pain research - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply\nThe overall research mission of the unit for molecular pain research led by Dr. Camilla Svensson is to advance our understanding of the mechanisms that drive chronic pain states, in particular persistent pain in arthritis and fibromyalgia. In this context, we are exploring how the immune system in the periphery and glial cells in the spinal cord affect the sensory nervous system and contribute to the regulation of pain signal transmission. Intracellular signaling pathways that are activated or deactivated in this process are being dissected and studied in relation to persistent pain.\nWe use a number of behavioral, immunohistochemical, electrophysiological and molecular biological techniques to dissect pain pathways in vivo and in cell culture systems. The research group (10 PhD students, postdoctoral fellows and staff members) collaborate with preclinical as well as clinical researchers not only within Karolinska Institutet, but also with other Swedish and international researchers.\nThis PhD project is one out of eleven in an EU-funded Marie Skodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network, with the acronym TOBeATPAIN. TOBeATPAIN is structured around two research areas: 1) pathophysiology of pain in neurodegenerative diseases characterised by neuroinflammation, and 2) pathophysiology of neuroinflammation in chronic pain syndromes. The strong inter-sectoral (five world leading universities, three biotech SMEs, two large companies, and one non-profit research organisation charity) and the international dimension (four European countries are represented) offers an unique training platform that ensures exposure to different research training environments.\nMillions in Europe and beyond suffer from chronic pain as a debilitating complication of disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. The overall aim of the PhD project is to study the role of glia cells (microglia and satellite glial cells) in peripheral and spinal mechanisms leading to persistent pain. The main focus of the current PhD project will be to examine factors potentially critical for development of pain chronicity using antibody-induced animal models of pain pathology and different in vivo behavioural assays and immunological and molecular biological tools. The project also includes in vitro work in based on neuronal and glial cell cultures and associated assays as well as analysis of patient samples. The student will be part of a larger research network in Stockholm consisting of preclinical and clinical researchers.\nA detailed description of the eleven PhD projects, including compulsory secondments, Supervisors and host organizations, as well as contact persons are available on tobeatpain-itn.net. This project is the Early Stage Researcher 4 (ESR 4) \u201cRole of brain and spinal cord microglia, TSPO and IL-8 in arthritis associated pain\u201d. More information is also available on the EURAXESS website: https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/347034.\nA person meets the general entry requirements for doctoral/third-cycle/PhD education according to Higher Education Ordinance Chapt 7, section 39) if he/she:\nFollow the link below for information on how other applicants can certify their English proficiency (such as through IELTS or TOEFL, previous upper secondary or university level studies). For more information regarding general and specific entry requirements, please see: http://ki.se/en/phd/entry-requirements-eligibility-for-doctoral-education\nSpecific requirements for the Innovative Training Network (ITN)\nAll PhD students recruited in an ITN must be Early-Stage Researchers (ESR). ESR can be of any nationality and age, and they must comply with the LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE and MOBILITY RULE (see below).\nLEVEL OF EXPERIENCE: Early-Stage Researchers (= PhD Students) must, at the date of recruitment by the beneficiary, be in the first four years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and have not been awarded a doctoral degree. The date of recruitment means the first day of the employment of the researcher for the purposes of the action (i.e. the starting date indicated in the employment contract or equivalent direct contract). Full-time equivalent research experience is measured from the date when the researcher obtained the degree entitling him/her to embark on a doctorate (either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the country in which the researcher is recruited), even if a doctorate was never started or envisaged.\nMOBILITY RULE: researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date. Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention are not taken into account.\nWe are seeking a highly motivated, talented student who has the maturity and desire to study hard and independently as well as work in a group setting. The day-to-day studies are to a large extent laboratory based and require self-motivation. In addition, the research is team based and the group have multiple ongoing collaborative projects and as such the applicant must have an ability to interact effectively and work productively in a collaborative manner. The applicant must be fluent in English, with excellent communication and writing skills. A genuine high level of curiosity for research in general and in the pain field in particular is advantageous. Previous experience in the fields of neuroscience, immunology and/or behavioral pharmacology is considered an advantage for this project. Emphasis will be placed on personal skills, motivation and previous experience of laboratory work.\nProfessor Camilla Svensson, Group leader, Camilla Svensson@ki.se",

        "raw_content": "It may seem that home buyers and sellers don\u2019t agree on much, but they share one important concern: that the transaction is successful. This comradery is never more evident than during the appraisal process. It\u2019s only natural, since the results of the appraisal can send the deal spiraling out of control.\nAppraisers take into account many factors when determining the worth of a home. While some of these, such as location, can\u2019t be helped, there are things a homeowner can do to ensure that the home is appraised for maximum value.\nAppraisers don\u2019t spend a lot of time in the home. In fact, Brian Coester, chief executive of appraisal firm CoesterVMS, tells CNBC that the interior inspection typically takes 30 minutes or less.\n\u201cAfter inspecting thousands of homes, it does become quite easy to quickly assess the amenities in a home,\u201d reiterates Ryan Lundquist on Sacramento Appraisal Blog. That isn\u2019t much time to make a good first impression, so line up those ducks in advance of the appraiser\u2019s visit. The first one should be a packet of information that you can hand the appraiser as he or she speeds out the door after the inspection. This packet should contain not only the basics about your home but anything that will help back up the buyer\u2019s offer.\nInclude a fact sheet about the home with the address, the year the home was built, the square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the size of the lot. Also include a listing of recent sales in the area, especially if you know of any for-sale-by-owner homes that have sold or homes that sold for less than they should have for any reason. For example, a home may have been sold to a relative, or the owners may have sold quickly to take a job out of town. Yes, the appraiser has access to recent home sales, but there\u2019s always a chance he or she may miss something.\nCreate a list of any improvements you\u2019ve made to the home. List them by date and include contact information for the contractor who did the work.\n2. If It\u2019s Broken, Fix It\nThe appraiser will assign the home with what is known in the business as an \u201ceffective age.\u201d\nIt\u2019s largely based on the condition of the home and how well it has been maintained. This age may be older or younger than its actual age. \u201cSay you have a cracked window, thread-bare carpet, some tiles falling off the shower surround, vinyl torn in the laundry room, and the dog ate the corner of the fireplace hearth, these items could still add up to an overall average condition rating as the home is still habitable, however your effective age will be higher resulting in comparables being utilized which will have the same effective age and resulting lower value,\u201d Doreen Zimmerman, an appraiser in Paradise, California, tells the Wall Street Journal.\nMost appraisers will tell you that it doesn\u2019t matter if your home is clean or dirty \u2013 it has no bearing on its value. We, on the other hand, know how illusions can sell, and if a clean house gives the illusion that the home has been well-maintained, what harm can it do to clean it before the appraiser\u2019s arrival? I don\u2019t know about you, but before I trade in a car at the dealership, I give it a good cleaning.\n\u201cThings like overgrown landscaping, soiled carpeting, marks on walls \u2013 those do affect value and are part of the property\u2019s overall condition rating,\u201d Dean Zibas, of Zibas Appraisal in San Clemente, California, tells the Wall Street Journal.\nWhile some things impact a home\u2019s value more than others, the bottom line is that the process can vary by appraiser. Anything you can do in the three areas listed above has the potential to streamline the appraisal process and increase the value of your home. Plus, going through these steps prior to listing your home will only help increase the number of potential buyers. And ultimately, selling your home is what it\u2019s all about.\nPosted in buyers, home inspection, KELLER WILLIAMS DALLAS METRO NORTH, REAL ESTATE, Seller and tagged Appraisal, home inspection, KELLER WILLIAMS DALLAS METRO NORTH on August 24, 2017 by kwdallasmetronorth.

Traveling is hard, people.\nSince I last posted about Fraser Island, my parents came to visit, I traveled cross-country on the train, spent two weeks volunteering with wild dolphins and am now on a roadtrip up the west coast to Darwin.\nI had so much fun with my parents in April. I hadn\u2019t seen them for seven months and it was really good to spend 3 weeks with them traveling around the east coast. Highlights of the trip included climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, traveling on the Great Ocean Road outside of Melbourne, scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef in Cairns and spending five days in the Whitsundays.\nOn the Great Ocean Road, Victoria\nWhen they returned to the States, I headed down to Melbourne to take the train across to Perth. The first leg of the journey was (relatively) short: a 10 hour train from Melbourne to Adelaide. I spent two days in Adelaide then started a 2 day train journey to Perth. Unlike the U.S., Australia is pretty empty in the middle of the country. We traveled across the expansive Nullabor Plain, which was seemingly nothing but flat grassland. I had a reclining chair, so it wasn\u2019t the most comfortable nights of sleep I\u2019ve had, but it was definitely a cool experience to travel across the country.\nCook, one of the most isolated spots on Earth\nI arrived in Perth in early May and spent five days there where I stayed with a girl from California who I met in Cairns with my parents, met up with some friends I met in Spain a couple years ago and went to Rottnest Island. The island is just a ferry trip from Perth and my ticket included a bike and snorkel rental, so I spent the day cycling around the island. Little marsupials called quokkas inhabit Rottnest Island and it\u2019s the only place they exist. They\u2019re dubbed the happiest animal on earth since it looks like they are always smiling.\nFrom Perth, I traveled with a group of other backpackers north. We were five total \u2013 four French and one American (moi), so I was able to practice my French. Like when I went to Tasmania, I found them on Gumtree (Aussie Craigslist). You never know what it\u2019s going to be like traveling with people you haven\u2019t met before, but both times it\u2019s worked out really well. We spent six days taking our time to get to Shark Bay, part way up the west coast from Perth.\nNature\u2019s Window, Kalbarri National Park\nMy travelmates\nI spent two weeks in mid-May volunteering in Monkey Mia with wild dolphins. Shark Bay has a high number of bottlenose dolphins, some of which come regularly to the beach where we offer them fish. We only feed them 10% of their daily intake, encouraging them to still act like normal dolphins and do most of their fishing on their own. Volunteering was from 730-12 or 1 everyday and then I spent my afternoons woofing (working for accommodation) then usually hung out on the beach. I went 4 wheel driving twice, snorkeling, and on a couple boat cruises while I was there. I was sad to leave, but was excited for the next leg of my trip.\nMy friend Guillaume who is also on working holiday from France met me in Monkey Mia with a campervan we rented together. It\u2019s one of those huge ones that you usually only see Grey Nomads (retired travelers) in, but here we are two 20 something backpackers driving one around Western Australia. We stopped in Coral Bay, where you can snorkel on Ningaloo Reef right off the beach. We went swimming with whale sharks in Exmouth, which was an unforgettable experience- they\u2019re huge. From there we went to Karijini National Park and explored its beautiful gorges. Next up was Broome where I celebrated my 26th birthday. We just happened to be there during the full moon where it\u2019s possible to see what they call the Staircase to the Moon. From Broome, we crossed the Kimberley region and did a boat tour at Geikie Gorge and a tour at Mimbi Caves. We\u2019re now in Kununurra, on the border of the Northern Territory where we\u2019ll go to Kakadu before dropping the van off in Darwin.\nExploring the gorges in Karijini National Park\nNext up, I\u2019ll be heading down to Alice Springs to explore Uluru (the big red rock) and the surrounding area. Then I\u2019ll have two months left on my visa before it expires in September. I\u2019m not sure if I\u2019ll go back east or west, but I\u2019m looking for a job in both places, so we\u2019ll see where I end up!\nI haven\u2019t had much service for the past month or so, which is why I\u2019ve been so neglectful, but I\u2019ll post more when I next have internet.\nPrevious Post New Zealand travel video\nNext Post Stranded in Alice Springs\nOne thought on \u201cTravel Update\u201d\nJane K.

So why did ex-President Jimmy Carter, and other leaders of America, develop such a pro-Sunni Islamic terrorist network? Also, why aren\u2019t past leaders like Jimmy Carter and ex-National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, being made accountable for their failed policies?\nOf course it is true that radical Islam is not a new concept and Sunni Islamic forces have used terror and war since the 7th century. After all, you will find very few traces of Christianity in modern day North Africa outside of Egypt and the same applies to Buddhism in modern day Afghanistan. Similar statements can be used about the defeat of Zoroastrianism by Islamic forces or the ongoing marginalization of Hinduism in modern day Pakistan.\nYes, \u201cIslamic apologists\u201d will point the finger at past Christian misdeeds in South America, and so forth, or they will make up a multitude of excuses. However, in the 21st century we are still witnessing the ongoing Islamic jihad movement and this movement desires to crush religious liberty, freedom, democracy, the rights of women, and the richness of diversity.\nYet the real tragedy is simple, because democratic forces, creeping secularism, moderate versions of Islam, and so forth, were springing up throughout the Middle East and much further afield where Muslims were a majority. Therefore, in nations like Indonesia the Christian faith was allowed to spread and Muslims and Christians had a united bond, this bond was humanity.\nIt appeared that the \u201cnotion of Islamic jihad\u201d was on the wane, just like radical Christian forces had been challenged by new ideas in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Therefore, pan-Arabism, socialism, and other forces, alongside passive Islam, was changing the make-up of society.\nThis is an over-simplification because the topic is so vast, however, new laws were being implemented in nations like Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Jordan, Pakistan, Tunisia, Syria, and a host of other mainly Muslim nations, whereby greater freedoms were being enforced. So just like Europe, which once had its brutal Catholic-Protestant inter-wars, a new era looked liked it was going to \u201cdawn.\u201d\nHowever, this era was soon about to collapse but the reasons behind this collapse are galling because the hands of America and Saudi Arabia can be found everywhere. Therefore, let us now focus on the unleashing of Sunni Islamic \u201cdark forces\u201d via American and Saudi Arabian sponsorship of terrorism.\nJust like Jimmy Carter and Zbigniew Brzezinski, the next leader of America, Ronald Reagan, would continue this policy. Jimmy Carter stated that \u201cThe Soviet invasion of Afghanistan is the greatest threat to peace since the Second World War.\u201d However, the greatest threat to global peace was America and the Sunni Islamic terrorist movement which was funded by the CIA and other important American operatives.\nFor unlike communism or pan-Arabism, or other political ideologies, these movements are temporary. Yet radical Islam had sprouted up throughout history after periods of relative decline and it is not a movement which can be switched on and off. After all, we are talking about a radical ideology which is fused with religion and this makes it more potent.\nTherefore, both political parties in America were involved in the funding of radical Sunni Islam. People like Michael G. Vickers, a Special Forces NCO, was commissioned by the CIA to support radical Islamic forces. Of major importance was coordination and launching attacks against the Soviet Union which would prove to be successful. Given this, Vickers, and other covert operatives, would train terrorists and in time they would unleash a force that could not be contained.\nThe CIA\u2019s regional head, Gustav Avrakotos, alongside people like Charlie Wilson, Gordan Humphrey, Fred Ikle, William Casey, Joanne Herring, and a host of others, were all responsible in spreading radical Islam in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Therefore, the \u201cdark forces\u201d of radical Sunni Islam were being unified via enormous funding and military training. So the CIA, political leaders, and the people mentioned above, would all play their role in the future destabilization of Afghanistan and Pakistan and in making September 11th happen.\nOf instrumental importance was Pakistan and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) unit which would work hand-in-hand with the CIA and other covert networks. Other nations were also involved, including the British, because MI6 and the SAS, would help to train Islamic terrorists and of course Saudi Arabia would provide ample funds in order to spread radical Sunni Islam.\nTherefore, America, China, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, funded \u201cthe year zero Islamic jihadists\u201d for different reasons. For China, it was based on hostile factors related to the Soviet Union. Yet it is clear that America and Saudi Arabia were instrumental in spreading radical Islam and of course the British \u201ctail\u201d also \u201cwagged\u201d in order to appease Washington.\nBetween 1981-1987 the USA provided over US$3.2 billion dollars and this was followed by a further $4.2 billion dollars. More important, the CIA, MI6, the SAS, and other covert agencies, were involved in training radical Islamists. The outcome being a multi-ethnic jihadist movement which would be armed and trained by America, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, and others, but with America and Saudi Arabia being the cornerstone, and with Pakistan being the unifying factor because of geopolitical factors.\nSo major Sunni Islamic warlords like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar would be funded and trained. Hekmatyar in turn would develop relations with Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda and the nucleus of this would come by helping Maktab al-Khadamat.\nThe late Benazir Bhutto stated that \u201cYou are creating a Frankenstein.\u201d Benazir Bhutto stated this when she met President George H. W. Bush in the late 1980s. This \u201cFrankenstein\u201d would certainly come back to haunt America and Pakistan, and of course undermine Afghanistan to this day.\nGiven this, then it is abundantly clear that the killing of Christian converts from Islam, stoning women to death, flogging people, chopping hands and feet off because of Islamic Sharia punishments, were all tolerated by America and the people who supported radical Islam in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. So why no accountability, after all, America supports war crimes in the Balkans but why not try past America leaders or CIA operatives, and others, who have unleashed mayhem and disaster?\nEven today, America is \u201cturning a blind eye\u201d towards Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan and Pakistan are in crisis. Yet look at the people on the ground, it is women who now fear persecution in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is minorities, like Shia Muslims, Christians, Ahmadiyya\u2019s, and others, who face death daily or the fear of persecution.\nSeptember 11th, the destruction of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the spread of radical Islam to moderate nations like Indonesia, can all be blamed on past American leaders and names that I have mentioned already. So why aren\u2019t these people facing the consequences of their actions?\nFor they have unleashed \u201ca potent\u201d and radical Sunni Islamic movement which is destroying the fabric of society in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Just like the same Islamists caused mayhem and bloodshed in Algeria and other parts of the world. The road to September 11th and \u201cyear zero Islamic jihadists\u201d was created by the forces of America and Saudi Arabia, alongside other important players like Pakistan. Yet what about real accountability and \u201cthe real story being told?\u201d\nPosted by leejayuk on April 21, 2009 in ASIA, CIA and Islamic terrorism, INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND GLOBAL NEWS, NORTH AMERICA, TERRORISM\nTags: CIA and Islamic terrorism, CIA sponsored Islamic terrorism, Operation Cyclone and CIA sponsored Mujahideen, USA and SAUDI ARABIA sponsored radical Islam, USA behind radical Islam, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Jimmy Carter supported radical Islam, Zia-ul-Haq and America",

According to a major study of American drinking habits, 7 per cent of the adult population\u2014or nine million people\u2014are alcoholics or problem drinkers. About 75 per cent are men and 25 per cent women. The National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse, in a report to Congress in March 1973, concluded that \u201calcohol dependence is without question the most serious drug problem in this country today.\u201d More than 95 per cent of those who abuse alcohol are otherwise normal, average citizens\u2014not \u201cskid row\u201d indigents.\nPublic health officials are particularly concerned with the sharp increase in teen-age drinking. \u201cThe current trend in drug use by youth is shifting back toward alcohol as the drug of choice,\u201d said Dr. Vernelie Fox, chief of alcoholism services at Long Beach, Calif., General Hospital. In San Mateo County, Calif., where trends in student drug use have been monitored over the past five years, a recent survey of high school students snowed low rates of use for LSD, amphetamines, barbiturates and heroin, with amphetamine and barbiturate use actually declining during the past year. Alcohol continued, for the fifth straight year, to be the drug students tried most often and were most likely to continue to use; 81 per cent drank alcoholic beverages at least once during the year and 25 per cent said they drank 50 or more times.\nAccording to the Washington, D.C., Area Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, the main reason that youthful drug use had declined is the scarcity of high-quality narcotics on the street. Alcohol is cheaper and easier to obtain and gives a satisfactory \u201chigh.\u201d New state laws lowering the legal drinking age to 18 or 19 and heavy advertisement of \u201cpop\u201d wines designed to appeal to youthful taste buds also have encouraged the return to alcohol. But the revival of teen-age drinking has not necessarily signaled the passing of the youth narcotics problem. In fact, many young people use alcoholic beverages in combination with other drugs, especially marijuana. Such use produces a synergistic effect\u2014an effect greater than the total of what the drugs could produce individually. Thousands of deaths\u2014accidental or suicidal\u2014occur each year among persons who take barbiturates or tranquilizers while intoxicated.\nJun. 08, 2012 Alcohol Abuse\nSep. 07, 1990 Dealing with the Dangers of Alcohol\nDec. 26, 1973 Resurgence of Alcoholism\nNov. 17, 1965 Treatment of Alcoholism\nMar. 22, 1949 Alcoholism",

        "raw_content": "The weather outside may be frightful but the view from the Osprey Room Observatory at the Lloyd Center for the Environment is delightful! This month, come and visit the top floor of the museum in search of the three types of seals we have in our area \u2013 the Gray, Harp and the Harbor seal.\nSeals have been spotted along the rock outcrops of Mishaum Point to as far in as the salt marshes of Little River. As the latter is peculiar, it is common to see the seals basking themselves on the rocks in the afternoon sun. The seals would be resting, warming themselves, or hunting from the rocks. They go after the schools of fish, crustaceans and mollusks that inhabit the area.\nSeals are part of the mammal family; they are vertebrates, they have fur, they are born alive, and are fed milk as a baby. You can see the skeletal structure of a harbor seal on the main floor of the museum and compare their similar bones to our skeletal system.\nThe three types of seals that live along the Atlantic seashore are:\nthe Harbor seal, which can grow to 5 feet long, are yellowish gray with spots and whitish rings, are silvery when dry and have a dog-like snout.\nThey are fairly active and playful.\nThe Gray seal grows up to 8 feet and has a blackish slate color. Their face closely resembles a horse.\nThey are socially active as well, as they may be seen bobbing, playing or vocalizing in groups.\nThe Harp seal, which can be up to 5 \u00bd feet, has creamy white skin and brown spots on its face and body.\nThey tend to be in large groups during breeding season and are considered to be quite vocal.\nUse the telescopes that are in the Osprey Observatory, or bring your own pair of binoculars, to see the winter waterfowl and these huge mammals amidst our winter wonderland. Enjoy the wintry landscape of the Slocum\u2019s.\nThe Harp Seal picture from Jon B. Hlidberg, Painting \u00a9 2003.",

        "raw_content": "Building Structures and Skills\nPRINCE ALBERT, Sask. - It\u2019s 1 p.m. on a frigid February day at Saskatchewan Penitentiary\u2019s minimum security unit and a crew is preparing to load a newly built modular unit that is located between a construction training shop and a CORCAN site office.\nThis unit is the Piapot First Nations\u2019 brand-new early learning centre for child development and school readiness. The 2,176-square-foot structure will soon host 20 to 25 children per day in a bright, open-concept environment. Equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, large play area and office space, and built to national building code standards, the facility has everything the kids, staff and administrators need.\nInitiated through partnerships with other government departments and the Aboriginal Head Start on Reserve program that addresses early learning and healthy development for First Nations children living on-reserve, these building projects provide employability skills training to federally incarcerated offenders.\nPrivate and public sector partnerships are a critical part of CORCAN\u2019s success as a key rehabilitation program of the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). CORCAN works with community educational facilities, construction industry partners and other stakeholders to ensure that the training offered is certified and recognized in the industry. This improves an offender's chances of finding employment on release.\nThe Piapot modular build is the culmination of seven months of work by CORCAN instructors and a group of 10 to 12 inmates. It is now ready to take a 358 kilometre trip to its final destination for a grand opening ceremony.\nThe first step of this five-hour journey is to secure the structure for transportation on to the moving truck. Once loaded and securely hooked up, the truck begins the commute down the highway towards the Piapot First Nations\u2019 Reserve. Shortly after, an offender starts aligning the support blocks in preparation for the next construction project, which will be the third of its kind to be built here.\nOffenders who put the time and effort into completing the project and learning new skills increase their chances for a successful transition into the community. Many offenders are able to find work following their release as a result of their training and the increasing demand for trade jobs in the labour market.\nFormer inmates often face challenges when looking for work, so any extra abilities they can bring to the table are beneficial for them in the long term. For inmates like Murray, who worked on the project from start-to-finish, making himself valuable to potential employers is an important part of his correctional plan.\n\u201cI never really had a job before, but since learning this trade, it\u2019s really helped me out a lot,\u201d he explained in an interview in the Saskatchewan Penitentiary CORCAN office. \u201cIt\u2019s learning new stuff so I can get a job on the street and not have to worry about getting a job \u2026 (I can) work on construction, get in with a union and follow through.\u201d\nMurray has worked with CORCAN since about 2013, and in that time he\u2019s learned a lot.\n\u201cI worked on pretty much everything that has to do with the building, from the floor to the ceiling to the roof, putting on the tin and stuff like that,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve learned how to use all the hand tools, the power tools \u2026 how to put up walls, measurements, how to read a tape measure and different gauges of nails and screws and stuff like that.\u201d\nFor offenders like Dwayne, who was already an experienced carpenter prior to arriving at Saskatchewan Penitentiary, projects like the modular build provide an opportunity to practice his skills.\n\u201cI\u2019m pretty familiar with all the techniques that we used from beginning to completion on both units,\u201d said Dwayne, who intends to return to carpentry when he gets out. \u201cIf nothing else, it really just keeps my skills honed, keeps me in game shape.\u201d\nIt also gives offenders something positive to focus on and a tangible goal to reach while serving their sentence.\n\u201cThis thing starts as a pile of lumber - you\u2019ll see in the yard over there the next one we\u2019re starting - to what you see today: the completed project,\u201d Dwayne said. \u201cSo it gives you something to quest for and try and thrive on the quality being really high and completing it in a timely manner.\u201d\nHigh quality craftsmanship is something that underpins all of CORCAN\u2019s work. The program produces a wide range of durable products and structures in worksites that replicate private sector work environments, assisting them to build technical as well as transferable employment skills. Under supervision, offenders can also complete apprenticeship hours towards their professional qualifications in various trades.\n\u201cI was quite surprised at how well oiled we are here with a roster of professional-grade tools - everything that I would need to do any aspect of the project, start to finish,\u201d said Dwayne, who started with CORCAN less than a year ago. \u201cI thought that that would be a problem, but it\u2019s not. Everything is here, the instructors are well-versed and great to work with, also.\u201d\nTrevor Simpson has been a CORCAN instructor for three years. During that time, he\u2019s gotten a close look at the benefits that stem from projects like this early learning centre for all parties involved.\n\u201cIt helps (offenders) learn a trade \u2026 it gives them something to do when they get out, so they don\u2019t have to go back to whatever they did to get in here,\u201d Simpson says. \u201cThey go out into the workforce with a little more knowledge, hopefully, and they can get a job immediately as soon as they get out.\u201d\n\u201cIt makes it a lot easier for them to find employment.\u201d\nSimpson says a few of the inmates he\u2019s worked with started their own construction companies after they got out and are doing really well.\nIn addition, since many of the offenders have construction experience on the outside prior to arriving at Saskatchewan Penitentiary, they also bring their own unique skills to the CORCAN jobsite. Sometimes, they even end up teaching new skills to the instructors.\nSteve Young, CORCAN\u2019s acting construction supervisor at Saskatchewan Penitentiary, wants to inform people that penitentiaries are capable of doing large-scale, high-quality work.\n\u201cI think there\u2019s a number of benefits to working with CORCAN,\u201d Young said. \u201c(Structurally), these buildings are built to the national building code, so things have to be done right. I think for (offenders), it gives them an opportunity - if they haven\u2019t been in a trade - to maybe learn a trade, if that\u2019s something they want to do when they move on from here.\u201d\n\u201cWe\u2019re fortunate enough to go through all the steps here,\u201d he added. \u201cWe start with the floor, the walls, the roof, all the exterior is done and then we start working inside and doing the finishing, so it encompasses all the work from start to finish.\u201d\nCORCAN provides a range of construction services to CSC and other clients. Products and services are sold internally and externally, primarily to other federal government departments and agencies. For federal government departments, partnering with CORCAN supports governmental and departmental priorities as it contributes to the reintegration of offenders and public safety.\nThe CORCAN site at Saskatchewan Penitentiary has worked on a wide range of projects. \u201cWe do a number of things, from Habitat for Humanity housing, to RCMP housing,\u201d Young explained. \u201cWe do kiosks for parks, we do anything from fishing shacks to sheds. And with (Saskatchewan Penitentiary) being as old as it is, we do a lot of institutional work here as well.\u201d\n\u201cThe institutional work, a lot of it\u2019s commercial, which is a good thing, which helps inmates get some diversity (of experience) \u2026 a lot of fixing up, patching, repairs, redoing buildings, taking down buildings, removing asbestos, all types of things.\u201d\n\u201cPenitentiaries are capable of doing these things. It helps us and it helps (the clients).\u201d Through technical and transferable skills gained by working on these projects, offenders are ready to enter the labour market on release and become an asset to a community employer.",

        "title": "Lux Ex Umbra: CFS Alert growing in importance?",
        "raw_content": "This L.A. Times report on intelligence-gathering in the Arctic (Brian Bennett & W.J. Hennigan, \"U.S. builds up Arctic spy network as Russia and China increase presence,\" Los Angeles Times, 7 September 2015) suggests that Canadian Forces Station Alert is growing in importance as concern about the region increases:\nAs China and Russia boost their military presence in the resource-rich far north, U.S. intelligence agencies are scrambling to study potential threats in the Arctic for the first time since the Cold War, a sign of the region's growing strategic importance.\nOver the last 14 months, most of the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies have assigned analysts to work full time on the Arctic. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently convened a \"strategy board\" to bring the analysts together to share their findings.\nIn addition to relying on U.S. spy satellites orbiting overhead and Navy sensors deep in the frigid waters, the analysts process raw intelligence from a recently overhauled Canadian listening post near the North Pole and a Norwegian surveillance ship called the Marjata, which is now being upgraded at a U.S. Navy shipyard in southern Virginia.\nTo help keep watch, Canada has refurbished a listening post called CFS Alert at the northern tip of Ellesmere Island, about 500 miles from the North Pole. It was once part of the Distant Early Warning line, a system of radar stations that watched for incoming Russian bombers or missiles.\n\"It was thought to be a relic of the Cold War,\" said Rob Huebert, a professor in Arctic affairs at the University of Calgary. \"Now it is a critical element of an intelligence system that monitors a part of the world that few have access to.\"\nAbout 100 intelligence officers stationed at CFS Alert, which stands for Canadian Forces Station, try to intercept Russian aircraft and submarine communications and other signals intelligence. Canada shares the take with U.S. intelligence agencies.\nIt's hard to know how seriously to take all this.\nUnless Bennett and Hennigan have scooped us all on the goings on at Alert, the actual number of military and civilian personnel at Alert is only around 77, of whom just 5 to 10 work in operations. And the latter personnel are only there as technicians to keep the equipment running. Communicator Research personnel have not been routinely deployed to Alert for some 18 years, and there are no \"intelligence officers\" there. All of the processing and analysis work is done remotely from CFS Leitrim, in Ottawa, as it has been since completion of the \"remoting\" project in 1997.\nAlert also has never been a part of the DEW Line (or the North Warning System for that matter). But it does provide SIGINT-based tip-offs about Russian training flights in the Arctic to NORAD. Colonel Steven Moritsugu, the Commander of the Canadian Forces Information Operations Group (CFIOG), recently acknowledged Alert's contribution to NORAD in testimony to the House of Commons National Defence Committee:\nThe signals intelligence capability, which is provided by what we call our uniquely advantageous location at Canadian Forces Station Alert, contributes to the defence of North America by providing an important intelligence input to the Canadian Armed Forces and to our binational North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD. ...\nOur primary sharing is with NORAD.\nI'm not sure what the L.A. Times means by a \"recent overhaul\" of the station either, although there does seem to have been a minor increase in the number of personnel posted at Alert in recent years. The number of people at the station bottomed out at around 53 in 2008 following an effort to cut costs and civilianize a lot of the workforce; the current total, as noted above, is around 77 (although the RCAF's Alert web page, which hasn't been updated for some time, still says 55, plus 4 Environment Canada employees).\nThe explanation for the increase could be as simple as fluctuations in the number of temporary personnel present at the station for specific research projects. Underwater acoustic monitoring research has long been conducted at Alert, for example, and Col. Moritsugu's reluctance to talk about that subject in his recent testimony suggests that such activities may still be underway.\nWhat there doesn't seem to have been in recent years is a significant increase in the signals intelligence activities at the station.\nThat said, there is little doubt that interest in the kinds of SIGINT that Alert can produce will have grown in recent years.\nThe changes underway in Arctic intelligence-gathering may not be quite as dramatic as suggested in this article, or in James Bamford's similar piece in May (\"Frozen Assets,\" Foreign Policy, 11 May 2015), but we can pretty safely conclude that the Canadian government won't be shutting the place down any time soon.\nStill just 79 personnel at the station: Matthew Fisher, \"Canada\u2019s \u2018frozen chosen\u2019 at top of the world have been in the dark since Oct 14,\" National Post, 1 February 2016",

Manifesting in their factories and towns such nineteenth-century fascination with machinery, paper mill owners and workers made an industrial revolution in Berkshrie County, Massachusetts. This book examines their experiences from the era of craft production through several generations of sustained technological change to answer two major questions: What accounts for the widespread and rapid adoption of machines in nineteenth-century America? And how did the new technology help to transform America socially and culturally? Rejecting technological determinism, Judith McGaw effectively integrates labor, business, social, and women's history with technological history to bring to life the human decisions that made mechanization possible. In compelling detail the author offers new explanations of how change in the craft era paved the way for industrialization and how paternalism worked in small-scale industry. She also provides a thoughtful discussion of the interaction between evangelical culture and the emerging industrial order, and a close analysis of how nineteenth-century gender distinctions fostered mechanization.

The arrival of sailors in pursuit of the lucrative sandalwood trade obliged the ali'i (chiefs) of the islands to pronounce legal restrictions on foreigners' access to Hawaiian women. Assuming the new missionaries were the source of these rules, sailors attacked two mission stations, fracturing relations between merchants, missionaries, and sailors, while native rulers remained firmly in charge. In The Kingdom and the Republic, Noelani Arista (Kanaka Maoli) uncovers a trove of previously unused Hawaiian language documents to chronicle the story of Hawaiians' experience of encounter and colonialism in the nineteenth century. Through this research, she explores the political deliberations between ali'i over the sale of a Hawaiian woman to a British ship captain in 1825 and the consequences of the attacks on the mission stations. The result is a heretofore untold story of native political formation, the creation of indigenous law, and the extension of chiefly rule over natives and foreigners alike. Relying on what is perhaps the largest archive of written indigenous language materials in North America, Arista argues that Hawaiian deliberations and actions in this period cannot be understood unless one takes into account Hawaiian understandings of the past-and the ways this knowledge of history was mobilized as a means to influence the present and secure a better future. In pursuing this history, The Kingdom and the Republic reconfigures familiar colonial histories of trade, proselytization, and negotiations over law and governance in Hawai'i.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/the-kingdom-and-the-republic-sovereign-hawaii-and-the-early-united-states-9780812250732/\nby Noelani Arista\nin America in the Nineteenth Century\nThe rich legacy of the Arts and Crafts Movement has been enthusiastically hailed by historians, architects, and designers.

Most known for its influence on architecture and art, the movement also played an important role in the garden world by defining the garden as a harmonious component of the home. In Gardens of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Judith B. Tankard surveys the inspirations, characteristics, and development of garden design during the Arts and Crafts Movement. Tankard presents a selection of houses and gardens from the era, with an emphasis on the diversity of designers who helped forge a special approach to garden design. Illustrated with nearly 300 illustrations and photographs and packed with examples from Europe and North America, this is an essential resource for designers and gardeners interested in the era.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/gardens-of-the-arts-and-crafts-movement-9781604698206/\nby Judith B Tankard\nThe land-grant ideal at the foundation of many institutions of higher learning promotes the sharing of higher education, science, and technical knowledge with local communities.

In ...\nLand-Grant Colleges and Popular Revolt: The Origins of the Morrill Act and the Reform of Higher Education\nThe land-grant ideal at the foundation of many institutions of higher learning promotes the sharing of higher education, science, and technical knowledge with local communities. This democratic and utilitarian mission, Nathan M. Sorber shows, has always been subject to heated debate regarding the motivations and goals of land-grant institutions. In Land-Grant Colleges and Popular Revolt, Sorber uncovers the intersection of class interest and economic context, and its influence on the origins, development, and standardization of land-grant colleges. The first land-grant colleges supported by the Morrill Act of 1862 assumed a role in facilitating the rise of a capitalist, industrial economy and a modern, bureaucratized nation-state. The new land-grant colleges contributed ideas, technologies, and technical specialists that supported emerging industries. During the populist revolts chronicled by Sorber, the land-grant colleges became a battleground for resisting many aspects of this transition to modernity. An awakened agricultural population challenged the movement of people and power from the rural periphery to urban centers and worked to reform land-grant colleges to serve the political and economic needs of rural communities. These populists embraced their vocational, open-access land-grant model as a bulwark against the outmigration of rural youth from the countryside, and as a vehicle for preserving the farm, the farmer, and the local community at the center of American democracy. Sorber's history of the movement and society of the time provides an original framework for understanding the origins of the land-grant colleges and the nationwide development of these schools into the twentieth century.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/land-grant-colleges-and-popular-revolt-the-origins-of-the-morrill-act-and-the-reform-of-higher-education-9781501715174/\nby Nathan M Sorber\nIn Fierce Enigmas, prize-winning historian Srinath Raghavan argues that we cannot understand the US's entanglement in South Asia without first understanding the long sweep of American interaction with the nations and peoples who comprise it.

Starting with the first attempts by Americans in the late eighteenth century to gain a foothold in the India trade, Raghavan narrates the forgotten role of American merchants, missionaries, and travelers in the history of region. For these early adventurers and exploiters, South Asia came to be seen not just as an arena of trade and commerce, but also as a site for American efforts-religious and secular-to remake the world in its own image. By the 1930s, American economic interests and ideals had converged in support for decolonization; not only should the peoples of the region be free to determine their own governments and futures, but they should be fully integrated into a liberal capitalist global order. These dreams were partially realized after the Second World War, with Indian Independence and Partition in 1947-and with Britain no longer in the picture, US involvement in the region steadily increased, in the form of short-sighted and ultimately counterproductive policies. In the 1950s, the Truman administration centered its approach to South Asia on the containment of communism, thereby helping split the region in two: while Pakistan was eager for American weapons and military support, India's Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru refused to align with either the US or the Soviet Union. In the 1970s, the US chose to support Islamists in Afghanistan, seeing them as a bulwark against communist advance. Yet Pakistan would become a formidable adversary for the US, while the militants in Afghanistan would eventually be using their arms against American troops. Time and time again, India, Pakistan, and to a lesser extent Afghanistan have each managed to extract commitments and concessions from the US that have served mostly to fuel the fires of nationalism and sectarianism, even as signs of liberalization have continued to entice American policymakers. Drawing on a vast and diverse array of official documents and private correspondence, Raghavan has written a sweeping, definitive history of the US in South Asia that at the same time suggests the many challenges ahead.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/fierce-enigmas-a-history-of-the-united-states-in-south-asia-9780465030194/\nby Srinath Raghavan\nNew York City witnessed unparalleled growth in the first half of the nineteenth century, its population rising from thirty thousand to nearly a million in a matter of decades.

Feeding Gotham looks at how America's first metropolis grappled with the challenge of provisioning its inhabitants. It tells the story of how access to food, once a public good, became a private matter left to free and unregulated markets--and of the profound consequences this had for American living standards and urban development. Taking readers from the early republic to the Civil War, Gergely Baics explores the changing dynamics of urban government, market forces, and the built environment that defined New Yorkers' experiences of supplying their households. A masterful blend of economic, social, and geographic history, Feeding Gotham traces how a highly fragmented geography of food access became a defining and enduring feature of the American city.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/feeding-gotham-the-political-economy-and-geography-of-food-in-new-york-1790-1860-9780691183541/\nby Gergely Baics\nLegendary for an unusual combination of spiritual power, beauty, charisma, showmanship, intimidation, and shrewd business sense, Marie Leveau also was known for her kindness and charity, nursing yellow fever victims and ministering to condemned prisoners, and her devotion to the Roman Catholic Church.

Vagabonds. Hoboes. Identified by myriad names, the homeless and geographically mobile have been with us since the earliest periods of recorded history. In the early days of the United States, these poor migrants - consisting of everyone from work-seekers to runaway slaves - populated the roads and streets of major cities and towns. These individuals were a part of a social class whose geographical movements broke settlement laws, penal codes, and welfare policies. This book documents their travels and experiences across the Atlantic world, excavating their life stories from the records of criminal justice systems and relief organizations. Vagrants and Vagabonds examines the subsistence activities of the mobile poor, from migration to wage labor to petty theft, and how local and state municipal authorities criminalized these activities, prompting extensive punishment. Kristin O'Brassill-Kulfan examines the intertwined legal constructions, experiences, and responses to these so-called vagrants, arguing that we can glean important insights about poverty and class in this period by paying careful attention to mobility. This book charts why and how the itinerant poor were subject to imprisonment and forced migration, and considers the relationship between race and the right to movement and residence in the antebellum US. Ultimately, Vagrants and Vagabonds argues that poor migrants, the laws designed to curtail their movements, and the people charged with managing them, were central to shaping everything from the role of the state to contemporary conceptions of community to class and labor status, the spread of disease, and punishment in the early American republic.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/vagrants-and-vagabonds-poverty-and-mobility-in-the-early-american-republic-9781479845255/\nby Kristin O'Brassill-Kulfan\nin Early American Places\nThe Seminole Wars were the longest, bloodiest, and most costly of all the Indian wars fought by this nation.

Written for a popular audience, this illustrated history is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of all three wars. John and Mary Lou Missall examine not only the wars that were fought between 1817 and 1858 but also the events leading up to them and their place in American history. In particular it sheds new light on the relationship between the wars, the issue of slavery, and the prevailing attitudes toward Native Americans. While fought in Florida, the Seminole Wars were a major concern to the nation as a whole. In addition to the issue of slavery, a culture of national arrogance and religious fervor fostered an attitude that allowed the conflicts to happen. The first war, led by General Andrew Jackson, was part of an attempt to wrest Florida from Spain and had international repercussions that led to a lengthy congressional investigation. The second, which lasted seven years, took the lives of more than 1,500 soldiers and resulted in the forced removal of more than 3,000 Seminole Indians from Florida and the deaths of countless others. During 1836 and 1837 it was the predominant story in national newspapers, and public support for the war was fueled in part by fear among slaveholders that black Seminoles might inspire a general slave uprising. The third war, fought on the eve of the Civil War, was an attempt to remove the final remnants of the Seminole Nation from their homes in the Everglades. The authors describe the wars as both a military and a moral embarrassment-a sad chapter in American history that has been overshadowed by the Civil War and by Indian wars fought west of the Mississippi. The conflicts were the nation's first guerrilla wars. They offered the country its first opportunity for aggressive territorial expansion and highlighted the dangers of an inflexible government policy. Analyzing events of the wars against larger issues, the authors observe: It often seems as if the Seminole Nation was the nail being pounded by the hammer of American policy. What interested us most was why the hammer was swung in the first place. Based on original research that makes use of diaries, military reports, and archival newspapers, this work will be of interest to general readers as well as historians of Florida and Native American life and to those who study the antebellum South and the early American Republic.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/seminole-wars-9780813066073/\nby Mary Lou Missall, John Missall\nin Florida History and Culture\nIn this book, Larry E.

Fremont; and General Stephen Watts Kearny, whose conquest of California during the Mexican War fulfilled Jefferson's vision of a nation that spanned the continent.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/in-the-wake-of-lewis-and-clark-the-expedition-and-the-making-of-antebellum-america-9781442266100/\nby Larry E Morris\nThe Spanish-American War marked the emergence of the United States as an imperial power.

It was when the United States first landed troops overseas and established governments of occupation in the Philippines, Cuba, and other formerly Spanish colonies. But such actions to extend U.S. sovereignty abroad, argues Katharine Bjork, had a precedent in earlier relations with Native nations at home. In Prairie Imperialists, Bjork traces the arc of American expansion by showing how the Army's conquests of what its soldiers called Indian Country generated a repertoire of actions and understandings that structured encounters with the racial others of America's new island territories following the War of 1898. Prairie Imperialists follows the colonial careers of three Army officers from the domestic frontier to overseas posts in Cuba and the Philippines. The men profiled-Hugh Lenox Scott, Robert Lee Bullard, and John J. Pershing-internalized ways of behaving in Indian Country that shaped their approach to later colonial appointments abroad. Scott's ethnographic knowledge and experience with Native Americans were valorized as an asset for colonial service; Bullard and Pershing, who had commanded African American troops, were regarded as particularly suited for roles in the pacification and administration of colonial peoples overseas. After returning to the mainland, these three men played prominent roles in the Punitive Expedition President Woodrow Wilson sent across the southern border in 1916, during which Mexico figured as the next iteration of Indian Country. With rich biographical detail and ambitious historical scope, Prairie Imperialists makes fundamental connections between American colonialism and the racial dimensions of domestic political and social life-during peacetime and while at war. Ultimately, Bjork contends, the concept of Indian Country has served as the guiding force of American imperial expansion and nation building for the past two and a half centuries and endures to this day.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/prairie-imperialists-the-indian-country-origins-of-american-empire-9780812251005/\nby Katharine Bjork\nHonorable Mention recipient for the American Journalism Historians Association Book of the Year Award, this book outlines the rich history of more than 250 women who worked as war correspondents up through World War II, while demonstrating the ways in which the press and the military both promoted and prevented ...\nThe Woman War Correspondent, the U.S. Military, and the Press: 1846-1947\nHonorable Mention recipient for the American Journalism Historians Association Book of the Year Award, this book outlines the rich history of more than 250 women who worked as war correspondents up through World War II, while demonstrating the ways in which the press and the military both promoted and prevented their access to war. Despite the continued presence of individual female war correspondents in news accounts, if not always in war zones, it was not until 1944 that the military recognized these individuals as a group and began formally considering sex as a factor for recruiting and accrediting war correspondents. This group identity created obstacles for women who had previously worked alongside men as war correspondents, while creating opportunities for many women whom the military recruited to cover woman's angle news as women war correspondents. This book also reveals the ways the military and the press, as well as women themselves, constructed the concepts of woman war correspondent and war correspondent and how these concepts helped and hindered the work of all war correspondents even as they challenged and ultimately expanded the public's understanding of war and of women.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/the-woman-war-correspondent-the-us-military-and-the-press-1846-1947-9781498539296/\nby Carolyn M.

Yet village atheists--as these godless freethinkers came to be known by the close of the nineteenth century--were also hailed for their gutsy dissent from stultifying pieties and for posing a necessary secularist challenge to the entanglements of church and state. In Village Atheists, Leigh Eric Schmidt explores the complex cultural terrain that unbelievers have long had to navigate in their fight to secure equal rights and liberties in American public life. He rebuilds the history of American secularism from the ground up, giving flesh and blood to these outspoken infidels.

Today, those sites are among the most visited places in the United States. In contrast, the battlegrounds of the Revolutionary War had seemingly been forgotten in the aftermath of the conflict in which the nation forged its independence. Decades after the signing of the Constitution, the battlefields of Yorktown, Saratoga, Fort Moultrie, Ticonderoga, Guilford Courthouse, Kings Mountain, and Cowpens, among others, were unmarked except for crumbling forts and overgrown ramparts. Not until the late 1820s did Americans begin to recognize the importance of these places. In Memories of War, Thomas A. Chambers recounts America's rediscovery of its early national history through the rise of battlefield tourism in the first half of the nineteenth century. Travelers in this period, Chambers finds, wanted more than recitations of regimental movements when they visited battlefields; they desired experiences that evoked strong emotions and leant meaning to the bleached bones and decaying fortifications of a past age. Chambers traces this impulse through efforts to commemorate Braddock's Field and Ticonderoga, the cultivated landscapes masking the violent past of the Hudson River valley, the overgrown ramparts of Southern war sites, and the scenic vistas at War of 1812 battlefields along the Niagara River. Describing a progression from neglect to the Romantic embrace of the landscape and then to ritualized remembrance, Chambers brings his narrative up to the beginning of the Civil War, during and after which the memorialization of such sites became routine, assuming significant political and cultural power in the American imagination.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/memories-of-war-visiting-battlegrounds-and-bonefields-in-the-early-american-republic-9781501732669/\nby Thomas A.

In this sweeping narrative, Edward Balleisen traces the history of fraud in America--and the evolving efforts to combat it--from the age of P. T.

This unprecedented account describes the slow, piecemeal construction of modern institutions to protect consumers and investors--from the Gilded Age through the New Deal and the Great Society. It concludes with the more recent era of deregulation, which has brought with it a spate of costly frauds, including corporate accounting scandals and the mortgage-marketing debacle.

The quiet farm town became a major Mormon heritage site visited annually by tens of thousands of people. Yet Nauvoo's dramatic restoration proved fraught with conflicts. Scott C. Esplin's social history looks at how Nauvoo's different groups have sparred over heritage and historical memory. The Latter-day Saint project brought it into conflict with the Community of Christ, the Midwestern branch of Mormonism that had kept a foothold in the town and a claim on its Smith-related sites. Non-Mormon locals, meanwhile, sought to maintain the historic place of ancestors who had settled in Nauvoo after the Latter-day Saints' departure. Examining the recent and present-day struggles to define the town, Esplin probes the values of the local groups while placing Nauvoo at the center of Mormonism's attempt to carve a role for itself within the greater narrative of American history.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/return-to-the-city-of-joseph-modern-mormonisms-contest-for-the-soul-of-nauvoo-9780252083815/\nby Scott C.

Cody-known across the land as Buffalo Bill-conceived of his Wild West show, an equestrian extravaganza featuring cowboys and Indians. It was a great success, and for four months in 1885 the Lakota chief Sitting Bull appeared in the show. Blood Brothers tells the story of these two iconic figures through their brief but important collaboration, in a compelling narrative that reads like a novel (Orange County Register). Thoroughly researched, Deanne Stillman's account of this period in American history is elucidating as well as entertaining (Booklist), complete with little-told details about the two men whose alliance was eased by none other than Annie Oakley. When Sitting Bull joined the Wild West, the event spawned one of the earliest advertising slogans: Foes in '76, Friends in '85. Cody paid his performers well, and he treated the Indians no differently from white performers. During this time, the Native American rights movement began to flourish. But with their way of life in tatters, the Lakota and others availed themselves of the chance to perform in the Wild West show. When Cody died in 1917, a large contingent of Native Americans attended his public funeral. An iconic friendship tale like no other, Blood Brothers is a timeless story of people from different cultures who crossed barriers to engage each other as human beings. Here, Stillman provides an account of the tragic murder of Sitting Bull that's as good as any in the literature...Thoughtful and thoroughly well-told-just the right treatment for a subject about which many books have been written before, few so successfully (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/blood-brothers-the-story-of-the-strange-friendship-between-sitting-bull-and-buffalo-bill-9781476773537/\nAt the start of the nineteenth century, the Jesuits seemed fated for oblivion.

Dissolved as a religious order in 1773 by one pope, they were restored in 1814 by another, but with only six hundred aged members. Yet a century later, the Jesuits numbered seventeen thousand men and were at the vanguard of the Catholic Church's expansion around the world. This book traces this nineteenth-century resurgence, showing how Jesuits nurtured a Catholic modernity through a disciplined counterculture of parishes, schools, and associations. Drawing on archival materials from three continents, American Jesuits and the World tracks Jesuits who left Europe for America and Jesuits who left the United States for missionary ventures across the Pacific. Each chapter tells the story of a revealing or controversial event, including the tarring and feathering of an exiled Swiss Jesuit in Maine, the efforts of French Jesuits in Louisiana to obtain Vatican approval of a miraculous healing, and the educational efforts of American Jesuits in Manila. These stories reveal how the Jesuits not only revived their own order but made modern Catholicism more global.

Bringing together leading scholars of plague working across different historical periods, this book provides an inter-disciplinary study of plague in the city across time and space. The chapters cover a wide range of periods, geographical locations and disciplinary approaches but all seek to answer significant questions, including whether common motives can be identified, and how far knowledge about plague was based on an understanding of the urban space. It also examines how maps and photographs contribute to understanding plague in the city through exploring the ways in which the relationship between plague and the urban environment has been visualised, from the poisoned darts of plague winging their way towards their victims in the votive pictures from the Renaissance, to the mapping of the spread of disease in late nineteenth-century Bombay and photographing Honolulu's great plague fire in 1900.

As a young man Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland. He was fortunate to have been taught to read by his slave owner mistress, and he would go on to become one of the major literary figures of his time. He wrote three versions of his autobiography over the course of his lifetime and published his own newspaper. His very existence gave the lie to slave owners: with dignity and great intelligence he bore witness to the brutality of slavery. Initially mentored by William Lloyd Garrison, Douglass spoke widely, often to large crowds, using his own story to condemn slavery. He broke with Garrison to become a political abolitionist, a Republican, and eventually a Lincoln supporter. By the Civil War and during Reconstruction, Douglass became the most famed and widely travelled orator in the nation. He denounced the premature end of Reconstruction and the emerging Jim Crow era. In his unique and eloquent voice, written and spoken, Douglass was a fierce critic of the United States as well as a radical patriot. He sometimes argued politically with younger African Americans, but he never forsook either the Republican party or the cause of black civil and political rights. In this remarkable biography, David Blight has drawn on new information held in a private collection that few other historian have consulted, as well as recently discovered issues of Douglass's newspapers. Blight tells the fascinating story of Douglass's two marriages and his complex extended family.

Tise suggests that American proslavery thought, far from being an invention of the slave-holding South, had its origins in the crucible of conservative New England. Proslavery rhetoric, Tise shows, came late to the South, where the heritage of Jefferson's ideals was strongest and where, as late as the 1830s, most slaveowners would have agreed that slavery was an evil to be removed as soon as possible. When the rhetoric did come, it was often in the portmanteau of ministers who moved south from New England, and it arrived as part of a full-blown ideology. When the South finally did embrace proslavery, the region was placed not at the periphery of American thought but in its mainstream.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/proslavery-a-history-of-the-defense-of-slavery-in-america-1701-1840-9780820355832/\nby Larry E.

Edward Sugden argues that these ocean spaces existed in a unique historical fold between the transformations that inaugurated the modern era-colonialism to nationalism, mercantilism to capitalism, slavery to freedom, and deferent subject to free citizen. As travellers, workers, and writers journeyed across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Caribbean Sea, they had to adapt their political expectations to the interstitial social realities that they saw before them while also feeling their very consciousness, particularly their perception of time, mutate. These four domains-oceanic geography, historical folds, emergent politics, and dissonant times-in turn, provided the conditions for the development of three previously unnamed genres of the 1850s: the Pacific elegy, the black counterfactual, and the immigrant gothic. In telling the history of these emergent worlds and their importance to the development of the literary cultures of the US Americas, Sugden proposes narratives that alter some of the most enduring myths of the field, including the westward spread of US imperialism, the redemptionist trajectory of black historiography, and the notion that the US Americas constituted a new world. Introducing a new generic vocabulary for describing the literature of the 1850s and crossing over oceans and languages, Emergent Worlds invokes an alternative nineteenth-century America that provides nothing less than a new way to read the era.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/emergent-worlds-alternative-states-in-nineteenth-century-american-culture-9781479899692/\nin America and the Long 19th Century\nThe Rise of Andrew Jackson recounts our seventh president's unlikely ascent to the highest office in the land.

Born poor in what became the border region between North and South Carolina, Jackson's sole claim on the public's affections derived from his victory in a thirty-minute battle in early 1815 on the banks of the Mississippi River. A disputatious, often cruel man, he did not seem cut out for any public office, let alone the highest in the land. Yet he acquired acolytes-operatives, handlers, editors, politicians-who for more than a decade labored to make him the President of the United States, and who finally succeeded in 1828. The acclaimed historians David and Jeanne Heidler are the first to examine Jackson's rise by looking primarily at the men (and they were all men) who made it possible, among them future president Martin van Buren, the Karl Rove of his day; Sam Houston, later a leader of the Texas Revolution; and John Overton, Jackson's onetime roommate and romantic rival. They and other of Jackson's supporters published quaint stories of kindness, such as the rescue of the Indian baby Lyncoya. They made him the friend of debtors (he privately dismissed them as deadbeats) and the advocate for low tariffs or high tariffs (he had no opinion on the matter). They styled him the ideological heir of Thomas Jefferson, though he had openly opposed President Jefferson, and the Sage of Monticello himself had been openly dismayed by Jackson's popularity. The Heidlers have pored over the sources from the era-newspaper accounts, private correspondence, memoirs, and more-to tell a story of rude encampments on frontier campaigns and of countless torch lit gatherings where boisterous men munched barbecue, swigged whiskey, and squinted at speakers standing on tree stumps. Theirs is a tale of ink-stained editors in cluttered newspaper offices churning out partisan copy and of men pondering deals and pledges in the smoke-filled rooms of hotels and meeting halls. The Rise of Andrew Jackson is, in sum, an eye-opening account of the first instance of deliberate image-building and myth-making in American history-of nothing less than the birth of modern politics. Eventually, Jackson's supporters would be called Jacksonian Democrats and their movement would be labeled Jacksonian Democracy, giving the impression that it arose from an ethos espoused by the man himself. Yet as the Heidlers indelibly show, that was just another trick of the men trying to harness the movement, who saw in Jackson an opportunity not so much for helping the little man but for their own personal revenge against the genteel politicos of their day.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/the-rise-of-andrew-jackson-myth-manipulation-and-the-making-of-modern-politics-9780465097562/\nby Jeanne T.

The last two cars of the express train were pitched completely off the tracks and plummeted into the creek bed below. When they struck bottom, one of the wrecked cars was immediately engulfed in flames as the heating stoves in the coach spilled out coals and ignited its wooden timbers. The other car was badly smashed. About fifty people died at the bottom of the gorge or shortly thereafter, and dozens more were injured. Rescuers from the small rural community responded with haste, but there was almost nothing they could do but listen to the cries of the dying-and carry away the dead and injured thrown clear of the fiery wreck. The next day and in the weeks that followed, newspapers across the country carried news of the Angola Horror, one of the deadliest railway accidents to that point in U.S. history. In a dramatic historical narrative, Charity Vogel tells the gripping, true-to-life story of the wreck and the characters involved in the tragic accident. Her tale weaves together the stories of the people-some unknown; others soon to be famous-caught up in the disaster, the facts of the New York Express's fateful run, the fiery scenes in the creek ravine, and the subsequent legal, legislative, and journalistic search for answers to the question: what had happened at Angola, and why? The Angola Horror is a classic story of disaster and its aftermath, in which events coincide to produce horrific consequences and people are forced to respond to experiences that test the limits of their endurance. Vogel sets the Angola Horror against a broader context of the developing technology of railroads, the culture of the nation's print media, the public policy legislation of the post-Civil War era, and, finally, the culture of death and mourning in the Victorian period. The Angola Horror sheds light on the psyche of the American nation. The fatal wreck of an express train nine years later, during a similar bridge crossing in Ashtabula, Ohio, serves as a chilling coda to the story.\nhttps://magrudy.com/book/the-angola-horror-the-1867-train-wreck-that-shocked-the-nation-and-transformed-american-railroads-9781501732638/\nby Charity A.

        "title": "Historical Jesus: 'A Marginal Jew': Volumes III & IV",
        "raw_content": "As someone who\u2019s made a regular hobby of studying the Bible for about 30 years and counting, I find it hard to express how enjoyable the John P. Meier book series A Marginal Jew: Rethinking the Historical Jesus has been to read. Chapter by chapter, Meier peels away embellishment and retouching in the Gospels to reveal, as closely as possible, the remainder which likely goes back to the historical person we know as Jesus Christ. The result is startling and puzzling, but also thrilling at the same time.\nPreviously, I blogged about Volumes I & II of A Marginal Jew. To summarize:\nVolume I: The Roots of the Problem and the Person laid out Meier\u2019s tremendous project and erected a biographical framework: Jesus was born \u2014 \u201cmost likely in Nazareth, not Bethlehem\u201d (sorry, Nativity scenes) \u2014 in about 7 or 6 B.C. Raised with his siblings in a \u201cpious family of Jewish peasants in Lower Galilee,\u201d Jesus\u2019s father Joseph apparently died at some point. As a young adult, Jesus worked in the building trades (think \u201ccarpenter\u201d as in construction projects, not furniture making), but then around the age of 33 or 34, he was first attracted to the maverick prophet John the Baptist, and then began a ministry of his own, which lasted for \u201ctwo years and a few months,\u201d until he was crucified outside Jerusalem under Pontius Pilate. Meier writes that \u201cHe was dead by the evening of Friday, April 7, 30. He was about thirty-six years old.\u201d\nIn Volume II: Mentor, Message, and Miracles, Meier first zeroes in on John the Baptist, the bleak preacher of repentence ahead of the nearing End who administered a unique dunking sacrament. John led a reformist sect from which Jesus then split off, taking some of John\u2019s followers with him. Meier next analyzes the happier message on which Jesus\u2019s own ministry was centered, \u201cthe kingdom of God,\u201d its sovereign symbolism, and its paradoxical \u201calready/not yet\u201d start date. Finally, he examines the historical reliability of the assorted reports of each of Jesus\u2019s miracles, with varying verdicts.\nVolume III: Companions and Competitors\nVolume III: Companions and Competitors turns the lens away from Jesus and toward those surrounding and interacting with him \u2014 the crowds, his disciples, the Twelve, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Essenes and the sect at Qumran, the Samaritans, the scribes, the Herodians, and the Zealots.\nLike an archeologist examining broken bits of pottery here and there, Meier assembles the fragments of information that we have about all these various people from an exhaustive array of sources, brushes aside the dubious pieces, then dusts off and lays out the remaining shards. Sometimes we can make out the general shape of the original vessel, sometimes not. For example, there\u2019s plenty of enmity towards the Pharisees in the Gospels, but much of this stems from Mark casting Pharisees as culprits in Jesus\u2019s death, and then Matthew and Luke piling on in their own Gospels based on Mark\u2019s. The ancient historian Josephus may offer wealth of information, but his own motives and personal history make some of it suspect. As for the much-publicized, anti-Roman Zealot revolutionaries that Jesus biographers are always speculating about, Meier reminds us that \u201cthey simply did not exist at the time of Jesus.\u201d\nOne of the most fascinating insights for me is Meier\u2019s explanation that in assembling the Twelve, Jesus was deliberately referencing the twelve tribes of Israel. He was consciously trying to regather all the Jews \u2014 rich and poor, city and country, north and south \u2014 back together in a kind of happily-ever-after ending that felt something like a feast. Somewhat akin to The Blues Brothers, who were \u201con a mission from God\u201d to \u201cget the band back together\u201d and save a religious institution, Jesus enisioned a joyful reunion of God with God\u2019s people, and he dispatched the Twelve on a mission to get this rolling.\nContrast this happily-ever-after version of The End with the convoluted scenario cooked up in the 1700s and 1800s by people like John Nelson Darby \u2014 you know, the Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the Antichrist, the number 666. Why so much of America favors this bleak storyline is difficult to comprehend.\nVolume IV: Law and Love\nThe most recent installment of A Marginal Jew, published in May of 2009, is Volume IV: Law and Love. It examines Jesus in relation to halakha, the collective code of Jewish laws originating in the Torah and other written and oral traditions. As Meier stresses over and over again from his introduction onward, \u201cthe historical Jesus is the halakic Jesus.\u201d Although Christians often imagine that Jesus rescinded or replaced Jewish law, the Gospel passages supporting this convenient notion turn out to be convenient additions, and Jesus turns out to be a Jew who is well versed in Jewish law, who made pilgrimages to the Temple in Jerusalem for Jewish feasts, and who discussed halakha with his fellow Jews. In fact, Jesus was so Jewish that he consciously patterned himself after and presented himself as another Elijah.\nLet that soak in for a moment. While much of what modern believers consider \u201cChristian\u201d actually originated with Paul, Jesus himself was aiming more along the lines of Elijah. How much can most contemporary Christians tell you about Elijah, Jesus\u2019s own role model?\nJesus did, however, diverge from mainstream Judaism on certain points. For example, he absolutely prohibited divorce, as well as the taking of oaths. Meier examines both of these issues in detail within the cultural and religious context of Jesus\u2019s time and place, and even in ancient Israel these unconditional strictures stand out as harsh. I can\u2019t help but imagine an America \u201cbased on Christian values\u201d where divorce is simply impossible. Meanwhile, consider all the Christian Americans who perpetually venerate the Pledge of Allegiance, and the countless court witnesses sworn in for testimony every day. Jesus completely opposed all of this.\nLaw and Love finishes with a study of Jesus\u2019s \u201clove commands\u201d as reported in the Gospels, showing how a couple of these instances \u2014 including \u201cLove your enemies\u201d \u2014 most likely do go back to the historical Jesus. Amazingly, though, Meier dismisses the Golden Rule (\u201cdo unto others \u2026\u201d) as an addition, showing how this law of reciprocity was reiterated far and wide both before and after Jesus, and how Jesus\u2019s own words mock this maxim as nothing but ordinary self-interest.\nAt the end of these four volumes \u2014 3,102 printed pages \u2014 Meier admits \u201ca certain sense of frustration\u201d that the fragmentary teachings of the historical Jesus we\u2019re left with present no \u201cmoral or legal \u2018system\u2019 containing some organizing principle or center that makes sense of the whole.\u201d Nevertheless, Meier takes a fearless stab at making some sense of it all from the perspective of Jesus\u2019s \u201ccharismatic authority\u201d \u2014 and he promises one more volume of A Marginal Jew yet to come, addressing \u201cthe riddle-speech of Jesus\u2019 parables, the riddle-speech of his self-designations, and the final riddle of his death.\u201d\nI can\u2019t wait. Riddles and contradictions don\u2019t bother me. They\u2019re a familiar feature of daily life, and far preferable to simply \u201caccepting\u201d \u2014 or \u201cbelieving in\u201d \u2014 foggy dogma. Stripping away all the additions and spin reveals glimpses of a raw and wild Jewish Jesus propelled by utter conviction toward a painful and humiliating death. Jesus turns out to be a much more compelling figure than the soft-spoken, blonde haired, blue eyed icon floating in a bubble of holiness.\nIn the meantime, I\u2019ll do some reading about the man who almost single-handedly defined and installed Jesus as an institution still thriving 2,000 years later all over the world. The book I\u2019ve found is Apostle Paul: His Life and Theology, by Udo Schnelle.",

        "raw_content": "Though this conviction took root when I was a child, I continue to be convinced that Jesus couldn\u2019t resist a troubled soul. On the occasion cited above, Jesus assisted a man whose at least partial paralysis confined him to a mat which lay on the ground. Though the man somehow found his way to the healing waters of Bethesda, he could find no one to help him into the pool. Every time he seemed close, someone else went in before him. Jesus noted the poor man\u2019s predicament and offered him far more than could be found in that pool. The man accepted Jesus\u2019 gesture with absolute faith.\nJesus\u2019 good deed drew the attention of the Pharisees because it occurred on the Sabbath. When Jesus cured the man and then instructed him to pick up his mat and walk, he violated the Sabbath by causing the man to work by carrying his mat. When the Pharisees saw the man do this, they chastised him. When they discovered that Jesus was responsible, the Pharisees began to plot against this troublemaker who seemed oblivious to The Law. Jesus responded to the Pharisees in kind, pointing out their error in placing The Law above the basic needs of one of God\u2019s people.\nI admit that my greatest frustration with the Church and organized religion in general is our propensity to confine God, God\u2019s goodness and God\u2019s blessings to our limited understanding. We issue edicts and attempt to enforce rules which sometimes get in the way of our service to one another. It seems to me that, when in doubt, the best we can do is to make love and the well-being of those we\u2019ve been given to love our top priorities.\nPosted in Daily Devotion, Daily Reflection, Devotionals, Writings.\tTagged Care, Church, Cure, Faith, God's love, Healing, Hope, Jesus, John's Gospel, Joy, love, Love First, Love one another, Miracle, Organized Religion, Peace, priority, Religion, Rules, Sabbath, Scriptures, The Law, Unlimited God\nIt\u2019s Good To Be Noticed\nJesus entered a house and wanted no one to know\nMy husband serves as \u201cfamily grocery shopper\u201d most of the time. When I joined him in retirement, I tried to retrieve what had once been my responsibility. After my first few trips to the store, Mike finally asked, \u201cWhat takes you so long? I can find the stuff on a list twice as long in half the time. What are you doing there?\u201d When I thought about what had transpired on these outings, I told Mike that, each time, I had run into a neighbor, a friend from church or a former colleague. Of course, I took the time to chat. Why not? I had all of the time in the world.\nA few months later, I relinquished my hold on our shopping lists at least half of the time. As visits to our grandchildren and my writing schedule increased, I realized that efficient shopping trips were sometimes in order. I also ventured to the store on occasion because my grocery-store encounters were sometimes unexpectedly important to me or to the person I ran into.\nThe scriptures tell us that Jesus\u2019 moments of peace were often disrupted by those who needed him.

        "title": "Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail!!!! \u2014 Matt Malouf",
        "raw_content": "While strategic planning is often thought of as something reserved solely for big businesses, it is equally applicable \u2014 and even more critical \u2014 for small businesses. Unlike bigger companies that can afford to make a strategic error, a mistake at a smaller company can put it right out of business. For this reason, failing to plan is literally planning to fail. By going through the strategic planning process, entrepreneurs define, refine and fully communicate the product or service for themselves. They learn to match the strengths of their business to available opportunities, enabling them to determine how their company is going to generate revenues. Before you embark on the strategic planning path, however, there are a number of \u201cstrategic planning traps\u201d to watch out for. Identifying and managing these challenges upfront is critical in creating plans that position your company for long-term growth.\nNot doing strategic planning The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is not doing strategic planning at all. Rather than looking at the long-range, big-picture, they focus on operation issues and day-to-day survival. They end up working harder not smarter. Having a clear strategic direction \u2014 where you want the business to be in five year, 12 months and 90 days \u2014 will enable you to allocate your time and financial resources more effectively and efficiently. The right competitive strategy can make up for many tactical errors, but no amount of effort can compensate for the wrong strategy.\nLack of commitment to a market or strategy Entrepreneurs are often unwilling to commit fully to a market or strategy. Start-up entrepreneurs especially tend to measure their success by the volume of activity. As a result, they have difficulty turning away opportunities that come their way and end up taking any jobs that come along. Thinking strategically means making choices both about what you want to be and don\u2019t want to be. A company needs discipline to differentiate itself and create a competitive niche. The best approach: figure out the spot in the market where you can make the most money and then go for 80% of that niche.\nBeing overly optimistic By their very nature, entrepreneurs have to be optimistic \u2014 otherwise they would probably never start a business given the high rate of failure. But, putting on blinkers to potential pitfalls or gaps in your company\u2019s strategy will not make them disappear. Being more realistic about your market, your company\u2019s capabilities, and your competition can only increase your chances for success. It is important to realise that there is a difference between negative thinking and critical thinking. Critical thinking is purposeful, reasoned and directed at increasing the probability of a desirable outcome. Critical thinking takes an unbiased view of the situation. This means looking at both the pros and cons. People that are overly optimistic only see the pros, and naysayers only see the cons. Critical thinking attempts to balance the two to arrive at a more reasoned decision So, the strategic planning process should seek to uncover possible risks and challenges, not simply highlight the benefits. Taking a serious look at why a strategy might not work makes it possible for your company to take proactive, preventive action to avoid anticipated stumbling blocks. On the other hand, being overly optimistic about the wrong strategy can only make your venture fail \u2014 faster and harder. So, the key is to be realistic in developing the strategy, and to be optimistic in implementing it.\nNot making the strategy concrete It\u2019s not enough to come up with the ideas in your strategic planning sessions and then hope they will be put into place. The plan needs to be put in writing. The difference between having a plan and having a written plan is significant Once the plan is written down, you need to make sure it does not gather dust on the bottom of the bookcase. People do not need to refer to the plan daily, but it should serve as an umbrella to guide day-to-day behavior. The only way it can do that is if it is translated into specific, measurable goals, objectives, and action plans. Once this is done, you need to communicate the plan fully to all employees and make sure they understand it and what is expected of them in reaching the goals. Lastly, to make sure the plan remains realistic and effective, it must be continually monitored, evaluated and updated. Changes in the business landscape can alter any business plan. Staying on top of what\u2019s going on internally and externally will help make sure you stay on the right course.\nNot involving others in the planning process Too often, entrepreneurs think they know everything they need to know about the business \u2014 so why involve others in the planning process. Entrepreneurs also believe that because they are taking the risk, not the employee, why should the employee be involved in deciding what direction the company should take. However, involving others in the process makes the plan more strategic and better poised for success. People have a variety of experiences and look at things in many different ways. Bringing multiple perspectives to the table is vital in uncovering potential challenges and pitfalls In addition, by involving others in the process you gain their support. Employees like \u2014 and need \u2014 to feel that they can make a difference. Soliciting their input and ideas will make them a valuable part in creating the plan and implementing it. They will be energized to put forth their best effort to reach the stated goals and objectives.\nPutting it all together Starting a new business is hard enough. In fact, 80% of businesses fail within the first five years. But, you need not fall into this category. Taking a strategic, but not negative, look at your business will enable you to develop a plan that will position you for future growth \u2014 and make you a survivor.",

        "title": "Article 9: Lord\u2019s Supper - Mennonite Brethren Herald",
        "raw_content": "Home Life & FaithBible study\tArticle 9: Lord\u2019s Supper\nWhat does Mennonite Brethren theology have in common with that of other Christian denominations? And what are the distinctive emphases of Mennonite Brethren theology? Our Confession of Faith is a short document, informed by Scripture, that names the perspectives through which we read God\u2019s Word in order to live as Christ\u2019s followers. This is the ninth article in a series by the Board of Faith and Life exploring the 18 articles of this formative document.\nA meal that roots, renews, reconciles\n\u201cI am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener\u2026. Remain in me, and I will remain in you\u201d John 15:1, 4a (NLT).\nOne of my favourite images in Scripture is of Jesus as the vine, and the global family of believers as the branches. I visualize a strong, powerful, and rooted vine that has the capacity to support and nourish thousands and thousands of branches \u2013 some intertwined, some short and spindly, some hefty and stretching \u2013 extending far down the field.\nYou may wonder how this image relates to the Lord\u2019s Supper, as described in Article 9 of the Mennonite Brethren Confession of Faith. For one, the vine\u2019s branches produced the grapes that were in the cup during Jesus\u2019 final Passover meal, the first expression of the Lord\u2019s Supper.\nIt is that same fruit of the vine that is most often poured into vessels in churches around the globe (although I have also taken Communion with sweet mango juice in a jungle church in Sabah, Malaysia).\nHowever, the image of Jesus as the vine, and we, the global family of believers, as the branches, also brings fresh clarity to the Lord\u2019s Supper. Most significantly, it affirms a fundamental underpinning of the Mennonite Brethren tenets of faith: the centrality of Christ. Sharing the Lord\u2019s Supper roots us, renews us, and reconciles us to each other in our vine-connection with Jesus Christ and his Body.\nWhen Jesus first shared the bread with his disciples around the table, he asked God\u2019s blessing on it, saying, \u201cTake this and eat it, for this is my body\u201d (Matthew 26:26, NLT). Again, with the cup of wine, he gave thanks to God for it, and said, \u201cEach of you drink from it, for this is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people\u2026\u201d (Matthew 26:27\u201328, NLT).\nOur identity is rooted in the person of Jesus Christ. We are participants in a covenant relationship with him.\nTaking and ingesting the bread and grape juice is more than symbolically aligning ourselves with Jesus. Although Mennonite Brethren do not teach transubstantiation (the belief that the bread and wine actually become the physical flesh and blood of Christ as it is blessed), neither is the Lord\u2019s Supper a mere memento of his death. We experience communion between our spirit and his Spirit. As Paul says to the believers, \u201cWhen we bless the cup at the Lord\u2019s Table, aren\u2019t we sharing in the blood of Christ? And when we break the bread, aren\u2019t we sharing in the body of Christ? And though we are many, we all eat from one loaf of bread, showing that we are one body\u201d (1 Corinthians 10:16\u201317, NLT).\nTherefore, as we celebrate the Lord\u2019s Supper we are actually being reminded that Jesus is much more than a distant memory. His sacrifice, done once for all sin and for all time, is renewing us daily. He is present!\nGod\u2019s Holy Spirit resides in us today and testifies \u2013 as we share the bread and cup together \u2013 to the active ongoing work of Christ in our lives. At the Lord\u2019s Table, we are renewed and strengthened for true discipleship and service as we remain in the vine.\nThe imagery of the vine illuminates one more aspect of the Lord\u2019s Supper: the gathering of Jesus\u2019 family as one.\nThere is only one vine, and only one family. Jesus\u2019 \u201cbrothers and sisters\u201d must never be divided by race, class, or gender.\nThe Communion table brings together all those who have confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour: they may be strangers, even enemies, yet they gather together to share one cup, one loaf.\nIn Communion, we engage in reconciliation as we eat with people we didn\u2019t choose \u2013 but whom God chose for us. We are also a visible witness in the world of the reconciling work of God that is already at work through his body here on earth.\nDepending on our local church practices, we may celebrate Communion once a month or every week; we may invite people forward to receive the elements or distribute them; we may read the familiar verses or consider other related passages to engage our hearts. Yet, in all the ways that the Church celebrates, the Lord\u2019s Supper reminds us that we are one. One vine with many branches. One body with one head \u2013 Jesus Christ.\nTaking this step of faith and submission to the Lord Jesus is a vital part of discipleship.\nThe next time you share the Lord\u2019s Supper with your church, reflect on the reality that we are rooted in Christ, renewed daily by his ever-present Spirit, and reconciled to a beautiful global family. This is good news. Let\u2019s share it.\n[Robyn Serez is a member-at-large on the national Board of Faith and Life.

        "raw_content": "The Military Cheated an Afghanistan Vet Out of a Congressional Medal of Honor\nBy Mike Fayette | Aug. 10, 2012\nIt\u2019s difficult to describe the chaos of combat. It\u2019s nearly impossible to recall everything that happens in the adrenaline-fueled moments of life and death, especially the sights, sounds, and smells. It\u2019s sometimes troubling to relate the harrowing and haunting images that replay in the mind, over and over, afterwards.\nIt\u2019s even more challenging to defend the actions of our own military when one service member\u2019s valiant efforts \u2013 \u201cabove and beyond\u201d \u2013 are recognized with the presentation of the nation\u2019s highest award, while another service member\u2019s bravery is denied, politicized, and covered up.\nThis much we know from Jonathan Landy, from McClatchy news service, an embedded reporter at the scene of the battle: On September 8, 2009, just 10 miles from the Pakistani border in a small little village called Ganjgal, Afghanistan, our military forces (US Army and US Marine Corps personnel) in support of the Afghan National Army (ANA) were ambushed by between 50 and 60 Taliban fighters. Four Marines were killed. Three Americans and 19 Afghans were wounded. U.S. forces later recovered the bodies of two insurgents, although they believe that more were killed. Eight ANA troops and the Marine commander&apos;s Afghan interpreter also died in the ambush and in the subsequent battle that raged from dawn until 2 p.m.\nIn addition to two Medal of Honor nominations, the battle produced two Navy Crosses \u2013 the second highest U.S. military decoration for gallantry \u2013 eight Bronze Stars and nine Purple Hearts. After two military investigations, two Army officers were reprimanded for dereliction of duty for spurning calls by Army leaders and others for air, artillery, and ground support. It was also the largest instance of U.S. service members assigned as trainers to the Afghan National Army being killed in action in a single incident since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.\nFrom the written accounts of the survivors, it appears that indirect and air-delivered fires were denied to our troops in contact because the Taliban had initially ambushed them, using a village as cover, and the requested aid would fall outside the \u201crules of engagement\u201d mandated by higher headquarters. The forces found themselves in a trap, and it was suspected that someone in the ANA had supplied information about the U.S. forces raid to local Taliban leaders. The result was a killing zone of intense and unrelenting gunfire and rocket barrages from Afghan insurgents hidden in the mountainsides and in a fortress-like village where women and children were replenishing their ammunition.\nAs tragic as it was, we had a saying in my old unit: \u201cwhile swimming in shark infested waters, it\u2019s not uncommon to be bitten by a shark.\u201d But this was different. These waters had been baited, and the support that had been promised for this mission, such as artillery and mortar support, air gunships covering fire, and air extrication, were non-existent or slow coming. There was a \u201cbreakdown\u201d in the system that day, and as it turns out, there was plenty of blame to go around.\nOur nation\u2019s military has experienced an evolution in thinking \u2013 much of it groupthink \u2013 during this past decade of two simultaneous wars abroad. For years, the military has fought against the stigma of an embarrassing characterization that it is a \u201czero-defect\u201d military, described by former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry in August 1996 when he warned that \"demanding such a rigid standard produces timid leaders afraid to make tough decisions in crisis, unwilling to take the risks necessary for success in military operations.\u201d He continued, \u201cthis zero defects mindset creates conditions that will lead inevitably to failure.\u201d\nGenerations of officers and senior non-commissioned officers trained during the Cold War created, contributed, or were victimized by this zero-defect culture. Retired General William G. Pagonis, director of logistics during the Gulf War of 1991, wrote about the time he led his small company into crossfire to rescue stranded soldiers, against the orders of his commander: \u201cfollowing a time-honored tradition in the [Vietnam-era] military, I developed \u2018radio trouble\u2019 \u2013 that is, I turned the communications gear off \u2026\u201d and led a volunteer team to the rescue. The only way to prevent a \u201cdefect\u201d was to take risk and disobey an order.\nBut with superior and ultra-reliable communications equipment, and the advanced ability to \u201csee the battle space\u201d in real time through drones or camera-mounted aircraft, or even advanced satellite optics, there can be no \u201cradio trouble\u201d that allows the on-the-ground leader to execute his mission without someone, somewhere looking over his shoulder. During the ambush at Ganjgal, much of the tragedy resulted from second-guessing by military leaders comfortably situated miles away in air-conditioned tactical operations centers who, citing new rules to avoid civilian casualties, rejected repeated calls to unleash artillery rounds at attackers dug into the slopes and tree lines \u2014 despite being told repeatedly by the U.S. fighters on the ground that they weren&apos;t near the village.\nIn addition to the extended and excruciating ferociousness of this battle, the ambush at Ganjgal has been described as one of the most remarkable battles of the Afghan war for its extraordinary heroism and deadly incompetence. It produced dozens of casualties, career-killing reprimands, and a slew of commendations for valor. They included two Medal of Honor nominations, one for Marine Corporal Dakota Meyer and one for Army Captain William Swenson. On September 15, 2011, President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to retired Corporal Meyer saying, \u201cYou did your duty, above and beyond, and you kept the faith with the highest traditions with the Marine Corp you love. Because of your honor, 36 men are alive today.\u201d\nBut the President did not present any medals to Captain Swenson. In fact, Captain Swenson had resigned from the Army and returned to his home in Seattle, Washington. Swenson, who served one tour in Iraq and two in Afghanistan, was an adviser to 30 Afghan Border Police officers when he joined some 60 Afghan troops and their Marine trainers on Sept. 8, 2009 for what was expected to be a low-risk mission to Ganjgal.\nAccording to eyewitness accounts, Captain Swenson fought gallantly during the furious six-hour gunfight with 50 to 60 Taliban ambushers in which he \u201crepeatedly charged through intense fire to retrieve wounded and dead.\u201d Not only did he risk his life to save the lives of other, Captain Swenson stayed in the fight and repeatedly called his chain of command for fire support, ammunition resupply, and any other weapons systems support that could be employed to extricate himself and his team from this deadly ambush. After he was told he that he would receive support in \u201c5 minutes,\u201d hours passed before Scout helicopters showed up so Captain Swenson could direct their fires.\n\u201cYet months after the first living Army officer in some 40 years was put in for the nation&apos;s highest military award for gallantry, his nomination vanished into a bureaucratic black hole.\u201d The U.S. military conducted an investigation after wind of this insulting oversight was made available to media outlets. \u201cThe U.S. military in Afghanistan said an investigation had found that it [Swenson\u2019s award nomination request for the Medal of Honor] was &apos;lost&apos; in the approval process, something that several experts dismissed as improbable, saying that hasn&apos;t happened since the awards system was computerized in the mid-1970s.\u201d\nWhy would someone want to intentionally \u201close\u201d Swenson\u2019s award nomination? According to McClatchy, \u201cthe investigation [in Afghanistan and in the U.S.] uncovered evidence that suggests that as Corporal Meyer&apos;s Medal of Honor nomination from the same battle sailed toward approval \u2026 there may have been an effort to kill Swenson&apos;s nomination.\" The investigation also uncovered evidence that Swenson&apos;s original nomination was downgraded to a lesser award, in violation of Army and Defense Department regulations.\nThere\u2019s no doubt, from my experience and from that of others in senior leadership positions, that the military\u2019s award process is deeply flawed. It is a system of inflated submissions to ensure that commanders\u2019 favorites get the best results at upcoming promotion boards, and it is used as punishment. Awards are withheld not necessarily for less than honorable service, but rather to send a message to potential awardees who are denied awards or given lesser awards that they were \u201cnot appreciated\u201d and probably should find employment elsewhere.\nI once watched a senior field grade officer receive an Army Commendation Medal for planning the Army\u2019s birthday party while in Iraq. This officer had a cake sent over from home. The very same officer also received a Bronze Star because he, well, he did his job. He wasn\u2019t any more special than anyone else. He was just well-liked. Indeed, if you\u2019re an officer in today\u2019s conflict who doesn\u2019t get a bronze star, you\u2019re most likely non-competitive for the next promotion, although you may have been out there in the thick of the action while your colleague sat in the International Zone making PowerPoint presentations and eating Baskin-Robbins all day!\nSwenson was the former sort of soldier. Although he was out in the extreme heat of the desert facing the constant hazards of combat each and every day, his Medal of Honor award nomination was \u201clost.\u201d Although the official investigation could not determine whether there was an authenticated effort to kill Swenson&apos;s Medal of Honor nomination, there are several possible motives for such an effort to be made. Interviewed by military investigators five days after the battle, Swenson implicitly criticized top U.S. commanders in Afghanistan by blasting their rules of engagement. Angered that his repeated calls for artillery and air support were denied during the ambush, he charged that in trying to prevent civilian casualties for political reasons, the rules were costing U.S. soldiers&apos; lives.\nOr perhaps there is something else at work here. The investigation into Swenson\u2019s \u201clost\u201d award nomination intimated that \u201cclearing Marine Corporal Meyer&apos;s award would have pacified Marine leaders who blamed Marine casualties on the Army&apos;s failure to provide timely air and ground support. Moreover, [Marine leaders] were angered by the first investigation of the battle - conducted solely by the Army - which they considered unbalanced. And then the Army nominated one of its own for the Medal of Honor.\u201d That kind of \u201chome cooking\u201d doesn\u2019t sit quite right with anyone, especially Marines. Maybe the 30-year-old Captain Swenson\u2019s award packet became another victim of the ambush at Ganjgal, no triggered pulled, just a delete key pushed.\nOur \u201czero-defect\u201d military has devolved into a \u201czero-detractor\u201d military. Oh sure, a young officer might survive a mistake today that would have certainly ruined his career prior to 2001, but now, the death knell to one\u2019s military service is to criticize the very system that they are charged to lead and to make better. The message is clear: shut up, don\u2019t critique or criticize, do what you\u2019re told, don\u2019t embarrass your leaders, and you\u2019ll most likely advance. Challenge the conventional thinking or point out operational or tactical mistakes that could have been avoided (thus saving lives versus costing lives), and well, you\u2019ll not only be denied any award you\u2019re due, but we\u2019ll make sure you understand the implicit message as well: Get out.\nMiraculously, Swenson&apos;s nomination was resubmitted last year. President Barack Obama must approve it before September 8, the third anniversary of the battle, or it expires and can only be revived by an act of Congress. Obtained by media sources, Swenson\u2019s award\u2019s draft narrative includes, \u201cThe need for a ground recovery of all remaining casualties had now become clear. Facing this extreme and dire circumstance, and going above and beyond the call of duty, CPT Swenson gathered available combat power to lead a return [to continue the fight].\" Swenson&apos;s draft citation \u2013 a copy of which was obtained by McClatchy \u2013 praised him for \"extraordinary heroism, exceptional leadership amidst chaos and death, and selflessness above and beyond the call of duty.\"\nIt\u2019s well-known that the military services \u201cdevote enormous energy and attention to shepherding Medal of Honor nominations to approval, especially given the rarity with which the medals have been awarded in Iraq and Afghanistan.\u201d Ten have been conferred, only three of them to living recipients, prompting congressional hearings on complaints from lawmakers, military commanders, and veterans&apos; groups that \"the requirements have been quietly tightened, a charge the Pentagon denies.\u201d\nI don\u2019t believe that anyone disputes the heroism displayed by Corporal Dakota Meyer that day in September 2007. Captain Swenson&apos;s heroic actions are not in dispute either. This story isn\u2019t about his Medal of Honor, or about the question of why a Marine would be given one and an Army Officer would not. No, this is the story of how bravery can be swallowed up by the bureaucracy.\nArmy Suicides: The Most Alarming and Tragically Hidden Secret in America July 15, 2012\nSpecial Ops U.S. Commandos Found Dead in Mali With Moroccan Prostitutes July 10, 2012",

        "title": "My Take on the MacBook Air After 30 Days",
        "raw_content": "My Take on the MacBook Air After 30 Days\nI have been quietly using the new MacBook Air for the last 30 days. I haven\u2019t written about it until now, because, frankly I didn\u2019t know if I would like it. However, after using it for 8\u201312 hours a day over the last month, I can honestly say it is the best computer I have ever owned.\nWhen Steve Jobs announced the new Air computers on October 20, 2010, I was intrigued. While I have always been impressed by this model\u2019s size, I couldn\u2019t imagine it replacing my beloved MacBook Pro. I saw three major obstacles:\nHard Drive. I have a lot of media files\u2014112GB of music and 60GB of photos. I had already upgraded my MacBook Pro\u2019s hard drive to 500GB. I couldn\u2019t figure out how to cram all of this into the Air\u2019s maximum drive size of 256 GB.\nRAM Memory. I also had 8 GB of RAM on my MacBook Pro. I keep a lot of programs open and often use large memory-intensive programs like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. The most RAM you can get on the Air is 4GB, so I figured the Air would slow to a crawl.\nScreen Size. I use a 27\u2033 Cinema Display at work, so even my MacBook Pro\u2019s 15\u2033 screen seemed like a compromise. I had become used to it, but I couldn\u2019t imagine going down to the Air\u2019s 13\u2033 screen.\nHowever, two of my power-user friends, John Saddington and Michael Sliwinski, had bought the new MacBook Air and were raving about it. It fact, they were gushing that it was the best computer they had ever owned. So I decided to take a second look.\nI purchased the 13\u2033 Air with 256GB flash drive, the 2.13GHz processor, and 4GBs of RAM. I also bought a G-Technology 320GB G-DRIVE slim Portable (i.e., external) USB Drive. It was only $99.95 and matched the fit and finish of the Air.\nThe first thing I did was relegate all my media\u2014music, photos, and movies\u2014to the G-Drive. When I analyzed my usage, I realized that I didn\u2019t need constant access to these files, especially since I keep my favorite music on my iPhone and only access my photos once a week or so. Everything else fit on the Air\u2019s drive, and I currently have 122GB of drive space free.\nHere\u2019s what I love about the Air:\nIt\u2019s incredibly light and thin. It weighs less than 3 pounds and is only .68 inch thick. In fact, for overnight trips, I have stopped carrying a briefcase. I just tuck it in the outside flap of my Eagle Creek Tarmac 22 carry-on bag. Ryan Bingham, George Clooney\u2019s character in Up in the Air, would be proud of me.\nThe battery lasts a long time. Apple says \u201cup to 7 hours.\u201d In my experience it is 6\u20138 hours, depending on what I am doing. I no longer have to take an airline power cord, except for international flights.\nIt is really fast. This surprised me. The processor is only rated at 2.13GHz. My MacBook Pro is 2.66GHz, yet the Air feels much faster. This is probably due to the flash drive, which makes programs and files load faster.\nIt boots in less than 45 seconds. If the computer is completely off, from the time I press the on switch to the time I get the login screen is 15 seconds. After entering my password, everything is loaded and ready to go in another 30 seconds. The amazing thing is that this includes nine background apps (e.g., Alfred and Typinator) and the six major apps (e.g., Apple Mail and Google Chrome) that I use in my normal workflow.\nBig programs and multiple programs run fine. I still use Photoshop and Illustrator and can\u2019t tell any difference. Granted, I don\u2019t edit very complex files, but having half the memory on the Air as compared to my MacBook Pro has turned out to be a non-issue. I also still run as many programs concurrently as I used to with no noticeable degradation in performance.\nThe screen size is just fine. I noticed a difference during the first couple of days, but I quickly got used to the new size. In fact, I haven\u2019t thought about it until I started writing this post. When I speak, I almost always use a Keynote slide deck. This works no differently on the Air. I plug the Air into the projector using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. The display is the same as the MacBook Pro, albeit a tad smaller.\nThe only thing I really miss from the MacBook Pro is the backlit keyboard. This is really nice in low-light situations like an airplane at night. Other than that, the Air has completely replaced my previous computer. (By the way, I don\u2019t use a desktop computer. This is my sole machine.)\nIf you are in the market for a new laptop, I recommend taking a look at the Air, especially if you have been considering the MacBook Pro. In addition to the benefits I listed above, it is also about 30% cheaper. I can\u2019t imagine going back to a bigger machine.\nQuestion: Have you considered the MacBook Air?

        "raw_content": "The Mid-West Advantage\nWhat sets Mid-West apart and above is the fact that it is involved of every stage of real estate design, development, construction, ownership and management. Mid-West has leveraged this strategy for over 50 years to create award-winning real estate and long-term relationships with extremely satisfied tenants.\nIn their most fundamental role, real estate developers serve as an intermediary between the construction companies that build the buildings and the businesses or people that use them. Some of the best developers also have a construction division that can ensure cost effectiveness from the ground up. That is the Mid-West model.\nMid-West provides the optimum value in quality, style, functionality, location and cost. At Mid-West, we use our real estate and construction expertise to ensure that newly constructed spaces meet the tenant/client\u2019s business needs. The best real estate developers have strong experience in construction and play an extremely important role in controlling unnecessary expenses and improving efficiency and effectiveness for future owners and tenants. That is part of the Mid-West mandate.\nMid-West continues the real estate cycle by not only developing and constructing, but holding its projects long-term. Many of the properties in Mid-West\u2019s portfolio reflect some of principal Ken Achs\u2019 earlier work in the 1960s and 1970s. This long-term investment strategy allows for intimate knowledge of Mid-West\u2019s real estate and ensures that each property is held to the highest standard of care throughout its life.\nMid-West has complemented its growth by construction and renovation recently by expanding its portfolio through the acquisition of investment quality commercial real estate in other markets, either wholly owned or with strategic partners with strong local market knowledge and influence.\nMid-West manages its entire Saskatoon portfolio of commercial properties and others that Mid-West has built and sold to ensure that operations keep running smoothly by maintaining the facilities immaculately, allowing tenants to focus on driving their own profits. Mid-West has earned its reputation as the best commercial landlord in the business by being the indisputable leader in Saskatoon commercial property management, caring in our hands-on style for our tenants\u2019 every need.\nWith its CEO\u2019s roots in the car industry, Mid-West continues its presence in the automotive sector through Auto Body Specialties, a wholesale automobile paint supplier, all of the OK Tire and Auto Service stores in Saskatoon, and Mid-West Auto Sales for sale of quality pre-owned vehicles.\nThe Mid-West Group has provided financing for several small businesses in Saskatchewan.",

        "title": "As digital payments spread, the cash lobby raises its voice",
        "raw_content": "As digital payments spread, the cash lobby raises its voice\nby Lydia DePillis @CNNMoney November 11, 2017: 10:36 AM ET\nIt's been called \"the war on cash.\"\nCredit card companies, tech startups, and even some governments have pushed to move consumers away from carrying around a wad of bills in their pocket toward using plastic or their smartphones to make payments. Digital transactions are safer, cheaper, and more convenient, they argue.\nBut the cash industry disagrees. And now, it's fighting back.\nA group of companies that make up the global supply chain for banknotes and coins came together last year to form the International Currency Association. Its membership, which costs $35,000 per year for larger companies, includes companies that make the paper for bills, the inks and holograms that are printed onto it, the machines for handling cash, and the machines for destroying it.\nIts mission, its website says, is \"to provide a powerful and cohesive voice to keep currency a preferred payment choice.\"\nCrane Currency, the main supplier of paper for U.S. banknotes, joined in solidarity with more than two dozen companies from across the globe. \"It's not really in our daily business DNA to go this route,\" said Tod Niedeck, Crane's corporate marketing director. \"We would be a little irresponsible to not be part of ICA.\"\nCash production isn't in trouble, exactly. Despite the increasing use of digital payments, the value of currency held by the public has actually been rising as a percentage of gross domestic product in the U.S. and Europe since the 1980s -- and particularly quickly in the past decade.\nAccording to a 2015 survey by the Federal Reserve, Americans had an average of $59 in cash at any given time, up from $54 three years earlier.\nFor that reason, the U.K.-based International Currency Association's director general Guillaume Lepecq said that they're operating from a position of strength \u2014 just keeping an eye on the competition.\n\"There's a whole industry of people who are wanting to capture part of the market share of cash, because they make a profitable business out of it,\" Lepecq said.\nCompanies like Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA), for example, have large public relations operations dedicated to putting out white papers casting cash as backward and digital payments as the future.\nWhy is cash still king?\nThe reasons for the enduring popularity of bills are not well understood, even by people who study the industry.\n\"If consumers are using alternative forms of payment, why is there still this growing demand for cash?\" says Eugenie Foster, executive director of the International Association of Currency Affairs, which includes both central banks and currency producers.\nFoster theorizes that the drive toward automation at banks may have created a greater need for cash, because more ATMs and self-storage cash vaults used by businesses and individuals mean more bills sitting in more locations.\nOthers have postulated that the public is storing more savings in cash following the great recession because of a lack of confidence in the banking system and the security of electronic deposits. In addition, low interest rates have also created little incentive to put cash in banks and tourists in particular tend to carry cash to avoid international credit card fees while traveling abroad.\nBut one explanation for cash's popularity is also a reason some say it should be made obsolete: Much of the paper money out there is at work in the underground economy.\nHarvard economist Kenneth Rogoff published a book last year making the case that $100 bills are now largely used for tax evasion, money laundering and bribery.\n\"The demand in the legal economy is fading, but governments are continuing to print cash,\" Rogoff said.\nFor that reason, some governments have been pulling back. Sweden banned physical currency as a means of paying for public transit years ago. Last year, India abruptly canceled its two highest-denomination notes in an effort to combat corruption. Spain and France have imposed 1,000-euro limits on cash transactions in the name of fighting terrorism.\nThe ICA strongly objects to these moves, arguing that digital payments are just as likely to be used for illicit purposes.\n\"Evidence shows that the terrorists essentially used anonymous prepaid cards to move money around,\" Lepecq said. \"So we think that's a totally false argument. We're not very happy with those restrictions.\"\nRelated: Americans see jobs aplenty. Good wages? Not so much\nThrough a new website, cashmatters.org, the association also makes the case for why governments should keep cash in circulation: It's useful to have when the power goes out, for example, like it has in Puerto Rico. Plus, the 7% of Americans who don't have bank accounts depend on cash to get by.\nMeanwhile, the global cash industry is scrambling to come up with ways to make using currency cheaper and more seamless.\n\"If we're not efficient, then yes, the usage of cashless forms of payment become more attractive,\" said Sim Bielak, the chief marketing officer of Suzohapp. The Illinois-based company makes machines that recycle cash, check out grocery customers and run coin-operated laundries, among other things.\nAnd why don't these companies just go into the business of digital payments themselves?\n\"The cashless hardware business is very commoditized,\" said Bielak. \"It's a very difficult business to make money.\"",

MURA partnered with Gritman by funding necessary public infrastructure though an Owner Participation Agreement wherein the MURA will reimburse Gritman up to $600,000 for necessary roadway and sidewalk improvements in support of this needed and important community project.\nDowntown Restroom Project\nBuilding a public restroom facility for downtown Moscow has been a priority for the community for many years. When project costs exceeded the City's budget for the project, the MURA agreed to contribute $27,000 to ensure the design and quality of the facility was in keeping with the downtown area and community desires. The restroom facility was completed in the spring of 2017 with a dedication ceremony on May 6th.\nIdentity on Main\nThe Fields Holding Company recently acquired the former Sharpe Oil property and an adjacent prior railroad property for a proposed mixed use development called Identity on Main. The $24 million project will include 154 residential dwelling units and 3,000 square feet of retail space. The MURA partnered with the developer through an OPA to reimburse up to $350,000 for environmental remediation and highway access improvements. This project is in a highly visible location near a prominent entrance to the University of Idaho campus and will serve as a significant catalyst to additional private investment in the area.\nSixth and Jackson Environmental Remediation\nThe MURA acquired the property located at the corner of Sixth and Jackson Streets in 2010. This property was previously utilized as an agricultural chemical storage site which resulted in environmental contamination on the property. The MURA was awarded an U.S. EPA Brownfield Cleanup Grant to fund both soil and groundwater remediation which was completed in the spring of 2017. MURA\u2019s efforts were critical in facilitating the redevelopment of this brownfield site into productive use. A future developer has been selected through a public Request For Proposal process and is currently planning a $6 million mixed used development for the site.\nEMSI, an economic consulting firm, was quickly outgrowing their facility in the Alturas Technology Park and was in need of additional space. The MURA partnered with developer Wentz and Associates to facilitate the $1 Million renovation of the former Daily News building downtown into a modern and attractive office space for EMSI. The MURA entered into an Owner Participation Agreement (OPA) with the developer to reimburse up to $45,000 in expenses to extend the City\u2019s fiber optic network to the building and to reconstruct the streetscape on Jackson Street.",

        "title": "Is it Possible to Stay Sober in College?",
        "raw_content": "Drinking heavily and experimenting with drugs is almost considered a rite of passage in college. We assume that everyone does it. And the statistics back that assumption up. Sixty percent of college students have had a drink in the last month and two-thirds of them engaged in binge drinking during that time period. In fact, about 20 percent of college students meet the criteria for Alcohol Use Disorder. Substance-use disorders in general increase from 5.2 percent in adolescence to 17.3 percent for those in early adulthood.\nLuckily, there is a solution on a growing number of college campuses. The Association of Recovery in Higher Education (ARHE) represents higher learning institutions that have collegiate recovery programs (CRPs) and collegiate recovery communities (CRCs). They provide education, resources, and community connection needed to help change the trajectory of recovering students\u2019 lives in colleges all over the country. The colleges that offer recovery support for students have ballooned from 35 programs in 2012 to 150 colleges and universities in 49 states as of 2016.\nCRPs and CRCs are a bit different, but both have the ultimate goal of connecting like-minded sober individuals who have been through treatment. They are intended to provide support, prevent a return to use, and promote academic achievement through a variety of ways. CRCs are generally built into an institution\u2019s structure, based out of the existing counseling or mental health services. They are developed by students, who have an active voice in the programming and social aspects of the community. They include things like Al-Anon or Nar-Anon, counseling, and planned sober events, and they have a dedicated space for students to interact. While CRPs offer these services and activities as well, they usually offer onsite sober housing as an additional perk.\nThe best thing about these programs? They actually work! There is a reported relapse rate of only 5 percent nationally for students in recovery who use these programs compared to 40 to 60 percent in the general population.\nCollege is stressful enough without worrying if you\u2019re going to relapse. CRPs and CRCs can be vital in ensuring that you are able to get the best education you can while also staying sober.",

        "title": "An Interview with Salvatore Alaimo, Director of 'What Is Philanthropy?' | MovieBabble",
        "raw_content": "After reviewing his film, What Is Philanthropy?, I had an opportunity to discuss the film even further with its director, Salvatore Alaimo. We were able to discuss a wide variety of topics, including how the film has changed his perception on the subject matter.\nHow did the idea for this documentary come about? Obviously you have some background in the area as a professor, but was there anything that drove you to undergo this process?\nI hatched the idea in the fall of 2008 just before the economic crash, so my timing was not so great. I had recently finished my PhD studying philanthropy in an interdisciplinary program at Indiana University, so I came away with a depth and breadth for the concept not many people are fortunate to have. So many people engage in various forms of giving in this country, yet many of those same people don\u2019t seem to have an adequate understanding of the concept, and its role in our individual lives and in society as a whole.\nI certainly didn\u2019t expect people to have the understanding I came away with from IU, but the irony of all this engagement and activity coupled with a lacking understanding prompted me to do something about it. Writing a book came and went quickly as an idea, so I thought the visual medium would be the most effective way of enhancing our understanding for philanthropy.\nWith this being your first foray into film, was there anything about the filmmaking process that was especially eye-opening to you? Did you encounter any major issues during production?\nOh boy, was it eye-opening! I read books, watched DVDs and took workshops on how to make a documentary. I also attended two conferences, but all that does not make up for practical knowledge and experience. The major issue that stood out for me was raising funds to produce the film. I thought, in retrospect a bit naively, that the world of institutional philanthropy (foundations, corporate giving programs, etc.) would be interested in funding a film that helps educate society on the concept that is the basis for the world in which they operate. I was only able to secure funds from foundations in which I had a personal connection, thus reinforcing the importance of relationships in fundraising.\nIt was disappointing that the others didn\u2019t see this as a good idea that stood on its own merit. I accepted rejection and expected it, but sometimes it was how it was done that I found undesirable. I encountered narcissism, lying, rudeness, condescending rhetoric and even flawed review processes. In the reviewers\u2019 comments for a National Endowment for Humanities (NEH) documentary fund grant rejection, reviewer #1 stated that he or she was \u201cdisappointed that Alaimo didn\u2019t include the influence of religion on philanthropy\u201d while reviewer #4 stated he or she \u201cwas glad to see Alaimo included the influence of religion on philanthropy.\u201d The four of them viewed the same trailer and read the same information in the proposal.\nOne foundation that has supported philanthropy education for decades rejected it because it was a film and they didn\u2019t fund films. Another well known foundation rejected it because \u201cwe don\u2019t make films about philanthropy, we fund films concerning social justice.\u201d I was startled by the fact that this came from the head of their documentary fund who gave out $50 million per year to fund films, and he didn\u2019t understand philanthropy\u2019s role in social justice. I recommended some books for him to read and of course never heard from him again. The best one was from a small foundation that sent me a rejection postcard that said they couldn\u2019t fund my project because \u201cwe only support projects that promote philanthropy.\u201d These are just some of the absurdities I encountered over the 5-6 year production process. Some of them are so bizarre, you can\u2019t make them up.\nThe second most eye-opening issue was the editing process. While I had a very good professional editor, Jason Woods, I spent countless hours with him supervising the editing process which took 40+ hours of footage and boiled it down to the 86-minute feature film. First, that takes a lot of time and deep thought. Second, the fact that I made sure to have transcripts done right after shooting footage allowed us to refer to the transcripts with time codes to make sure that not only did what people said lined up well but that it also flowed well visually.\nThird, I am thankful for my Associate Producer, Cynthia Kay who I sarcastically called \u201cThe Hatchet Woman\u201d because she would remind me that I had to cut some footage I at first wasn\u2019t willing to give up. While painful at times, the litmus test was whether it was visually appealing and whether it added anything worthwhile to the content. If not, it was on the chopping block. Looking back I probably listened to both of these wonderful people about 85% of the time and pushed back the remaining 15%. As producer I had the final say but I often deferred to better judgement.\nThe third one was licensing content. Licensing is a venerable \u201cWild West\u201d environment with often times no rhyme or reason to how much content owners will charge. Sometimes when I explained the nature of the project and the fact that it was not a profit making endeavor people gave me a break on the price or simply let me use it at no cost with the promise to credit it properly. Then there were the cutthroat organizations like CNN and NFL Films that wouldn\u2019t budge on their outrageous pricing. I thought this was not smart on their part because receiving $3,000 instead of $5,000 was still $3,000 more than nothing, and it was \u201cfound money.\u201d But, apparently they don\u2019t look at it that way.\nNavigating licensing was a very interesting experience and often times riddled with absurdity like in fundraising. Often companies give licensing to a person or department that has a larger core function, so when you contact them you\u2019re not a priority, even though again it\u2019s \u201cfound money\u201d! I was warned by an expert not to try to license music on my own and foolishly didn\u2019t listen. I changed my mind after a few months on my own and hired Diane Prentice Music Clearance in California. She worked the deals for the music from Patti Smith and Ziggy Marley. I highly recommend her.\nHow did you coordinate the schedules of so many established figures? I imagine their schedules are all pretty hectic.\nI think what helped was the fact that I honestly didn\u2019t have a specific deadline or timetable, but of course wanted to finish production as soon as possible. Some of these people are very busy, so scheduling was challenging at times. We had to book Senator Charles Grassley about six months in advance, and my cameraman was sure we would be cancelled as we waited outside his DC office. The phones were ringing frantically that day and a group of interns were answering calls one after another.\nThe Senator arrived on time, greeted us and told us that the day was one of the busiest in his political career. That afternoon he had to submit a report from the Senate Finance Committee on healthcare to President Obama because later that evening the President would go on national television to talk about healthcare legislation. I am forever grateful to the senator for keeping our appointment.\nFor the interviews with Mike Farrell, Nell Newman and Evelyn Lauder we needed about 3-4 months advance notice. The interview with Alex Smith took a while to get confirmed because of his busy schedule as an NFL quarterback. His mom had to vet me first to make sure I was legitimate and then she connected me directly with Alex. We spoke on the phone and he invited us to interview him in his home. He was a gracious host and overall a great guy.\nFor Civil Rights Leader Dr. William G. Anderson, that took a long time because I had no way to reach him. I had to look up some records to find out his most recent place of employment and make the request to that employer that they contact him and let him know I wanted to speak to him and why. After about six months I heard from him and we set up the interview in Detroit.\nIronically, one of the most challenging schedules to work around was my own in being a full time professor. So, much of the work was done in the summer, on weekends or on days when I didn\u2019t teach. I am proud to say that over that 5-6 year period I never once cancelled a class or had a substitute teach one of my classes. That combined with not getting funding right away probably extended production to that length.\nOne of the major points of emphasis in What is Philanthropy? was to capture the concept of giving from many different points of view. Do you wish you had covered another angle of the discussion or gone further into one you had mentioned in the film?\nThat\u2019s a great question and a tough one to answer. The main issue was trying to provide a treatise on such a broad subject and do it justice in under 90 minutes. I wished I had been able to include some of the other religions I contacted but scheduling or their desire to not be on camera impacted that. One area I wish I had squeezed in there was more content from the perspective of the recipient. There is an entire special feature dedicated to it, but looking back it would have been nice to include a bit more of it in the feature film.\nWhere do you see the concept of giving heading in the coming years? Have you notice a serious shift or change in the way people are lending their talents and resources?\nThe research on the Millenials and the intensifying competition for resources hints that relationships and associated giving that is considered meaningful from givers will be more important in the future. Giving can\u2019t be just looked upon as a transaction but instead has to have much more meaning. I think that organizations vying for surplus goods, volunteer time and/or funding need to be mindful of this and offer meaningful experiences for givers that also help their needs.\nThe other part of giving is the advent of social entrepreneurship. More people are coming forward these days with creative and innovative ways to address social problems. They\u2019re challenging the status quo, pushing envelopes, and testing new ideas which I think is healthy for the sector and society as a whole. My only hope is that through these transitions we move our perception of philanthropy beyond being something just for the wealthy and beyond just the giving of money. I intentionally devoted significant time in the film to advocacy and social activism because I maintain those are forms of giving, too.\nMaking a film is never a lonely endeavor. Who was your biggest supporter during this process?\nFinancially, I was the largest supporter with $70,000 of my own money and that doesn\u2019t count my time. I then had to raise the additional $70K because the total cost was about $140,000. A special fund from the WK Kellogg Foundation, thanks to one of their Board members, and the Tassell-Wisner-Bottrall Foundation were the next largest financial supporters. I also received some monetary and in-kind support from my employer, Grand Valley State University.\nIf we were to segregate out the sources by category, individuals were the largest group. There were many people who gave smaller contributions but the film couldn\u2019t have been made without their collective effort. Then there is the moral support and encouragement from friends and family. I\u2019ll admit there were a few times I thought about giving up but they helped me persevere.\nThe documentary has circulated a few film festivals and was even broadcast on PBS since its completion. What\u2019s that experience been like for you?\nNavigating film festivals was an interesting experience for me. The film made it into four of them, but I had submitted it to almost 50 festivals. That is an indication of how competitive film festivals have become. Even the smaller ones are receiving hundreds of submissions. This cost can add up quickly, too because each has an application fee typically ranging from $30-$75. You really have to be strategic on which festivals to submit to and read their criteria carefully. You also have to have a line item in your budget for it. I knew going into making the film that it was a topic that not everyone would understand and/or embrace.\nThe documentary film world tends to like international films and films that have more of a narrow focus. I think that\u2019s why this film was sort of in no man\u2019s land with the world of institutional philanthropy not caring about it and the documentary funding and festival worlds not embracing it for being possibly too educational and/or too broad. But, I am grateful for the four festivals that selected it and I attended all of them to be there for the discussion sessions after the screening.\nPlus, it was great to see the other wonderful films, meet other filmmakers and hear their stories. What is Philanthropy? made its PBS debut last December here on WGVU in Grand Rapids, Michigan and I am hoping other PBS stations will broadcast it as well. I have submitted it to National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA) in hopes of securing national distribution to the PBS network. If that doesn\u2019t come through I will target the stations in cities where there are connections in the film or substantial footage such as San Francisco, Atlanta, and Indianapolis. I have suggested broadcasting it on November 15 which is National Philanthropy Day.\nWhat\u2019s the biggest takeaway from this entire ordeal? Has anything that your contributors shared change your perception of philanthropy or at least a section of it?\nThe biggest takeaway is that my respect for filmmaking has expanded a lot. When I reflect on what it took to make this film and observe other filmmakers work so hard to get their films out there, often not making much or any money, I applaud them for believing in their projects and the messages they convey. I can\u2019t attribute changing my perception to any single contributor but collectively they expanded my perspective for the various ways people can give even beyond what I learned in that PhD program.\nI imagine the documentary comes up every so often during one of your lectures. Has the film changed the way you teach the material?\nCoincidentally, one of my graduate students recently viewed the film and told me she thought it was almost completely representative of one of the graduate courses she took with me. I honestly never consciously put them together but knew I wanted colleges and universities to use it for teaching and learning. I do every once in a while tell stories from the making of the film that are relevant to our course topic for a given evening. The students seem to enjoy them, and I am happy to share them.\nNow that you are finished with this project, do you have any information regarding any future projects that you\u2019d like to share? Would you want to move on to other topics?\nPeople have asked me when I will make the next one. I hesitate to produce another film at this time because I am still spending time helping my distributor promote the current one. New universities, public libraries and individuals are purchasing it each week, so I hope sales will continue to be steady over a long period of time. The film is in five countries now, but I hope its international reach will grow as well. Also, I\u2019m not sure I want to put myself through that fundraising experience again.\nBeyond that, every aspect of making the film was enjoyable. I travelled to places I had never been to before met some great people, worked with wonderful professionals in my crew and now there is the satisfaction of having a finished product that is being view and used for teaching, learning and family entertainment. Then of course my full-time position at the university makes time a challenge. I have thought about producing a short documentary on the Caregivers Sewing Group in What is Philanthropy? Everyone that sees the film is touched by that group of elderly women sewing clothes for children in the foster care system. The social aspect and the skill of sewing I think together make their story very interesting.\nAnother idea is a documentary on what it is like to be a descendant of a U.S. President. I think it would be fascinating to speak to children and grandchildren of presidents and see how that has impacted their lives. So, these are just considerations for now.\nIf you so wish, you can purchase your own copy of What Is Philanthropy? by visited the Indiana University Press.\nThanks for reading!

        "raw_content": "Covers of Classic Bands \u2013 The Turtles and Spirit Get Revived\nBack in October an all-star lineup including Beck, Jakob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Cat Power and others staged \u201cEcho In The Canyon\u201d in Los Angeles, paying tribute to bands and songs from the early days of Southern California rock and roll. The concert was timed as a 50th Anniversary celebration of the release of The Byrds\u2019 debut album, \u201cMr. Tambourine Man\u201d.\nA studio album is due out sometime in 2016, and the first track available is \u201cYou Showed Me\u201d performed by Jakob Dylan and Cat Power. The original was The Turtles\u2019 last big U.S. hit in 1969 and was written by Roger McGuinn and Gene Clark of The Byrds. Listen to the cover then enjoy a studio performance of the original \u2013 complete with vintage 60\u2019s hairdos.\nHollywood Vampires is a super-group of classic rockers built around Alice Cooper and Joe Perry, with Johnny Depp thrown in for good measure. The band\u2019s name harks back to a drinking club formed by Cooper in the 70\u2019s, with members that included a fair bit of rock and roll royalty.\n\u201cI Got A Line On You\u201d covers the incredible band Spirit. Headed by guitarist/vocalist Randy California, Spirit also included Randy\u2019s stepfather, Ed Cassidy. Cassidy was a well known jazz drummer, who just before joining his stepson played in Rising Sons with Taj Mahal and a 17-year-old Ry Cooder. Check out the Hollywood Vampires\u2019 take and the original, and if you want to hear a bit more by Spirit, refer to this earlier post.\nPosted on January 31, 2016 by HarryDJ.\tThis entry was posted in Covers and tagged Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Cat Power, Hollywood Vampires, Jakob Dylan, Joe Perry, music now & then, rock and roll, Spirit, The Byrds, The Turtles, video.

        "title": "Interview: All That Remains' Phil Labonte on Oli Herbert and \"Victims of the New Disease\" | Music World!",
        "raw_content": "Homepage / MusicWorld / Interview: All That Remains\u2019 Phil Labonte on Oli Herbert and \u201cVictims of the New Disease\u201d\nAmerican metalcore outfit All That Remains have been a staple band of the scene for the last two decades, helping to mold a new generation of extreme metal fans with seminal albums like 2006\u2019s The Fall of Ideals (this writer included). When All That Remains successfully unleashed their ninth full-length, Victims of the New Disease, in November, its release was marred by the sudden passing of founding guitarist Oli Herbert on October 16, 2018.\nWhile details remain unclear about the circumstances surrounding Herbert\u2019s passing\u2014an ongoing investigation seeks to determine whether his death was accidental or if foul play was involved\u2014his bandmates made the decision to soldier on in his memory. Vocalist and founding member Phil Labonte spoke with Decibel about Victims of the New Disease, Herbert\u2019s passing, fill-in guitarist Jason Richardson and touring.\nRead that conversation below. Victims of the New Disease is out now.\nYou released the new album at the end of last year. Have you guys heard a lot of feedback from fans about it?\nI haven\u2019t heard a ton of feedback. I don\u2019t go out looking for it, really. They say never read the comments, but what I have heard has been really good. The bigger reviews and stuff like that, from some of the bigger blogs or from the bigger magazines is stuff that I hear and it\u2019s been really, really, really good. People have been talking about 9, 10, or 8, 9, 10 reviews, so that\u2019s all you can ask for. It\u2019s been great so far.\nYou\u2019ve been around for a long time, All That Remains has a lot of albums and some very influential ones. When you\u2019re writing and recording and releasing these albums, do you feel a lot of pressure to live up to peoples\u2019 expectations or are you at the point where you\u2019re like \u201cThis is the album we want to make and we\u2019re releasing it and we hope that people like it,\u201d but you\u2019re not actively considering while recording?\nIt\u2019s definitely us deciding more \u201cthis is what we want to do,\u201d \u201cthis is the kind of record we want to do this time.\u201d Yeah, we put it out, we hope people dig it and that\u2019s the best you can hope for, in my opinion.\nWe will talk about what type of record we wanna do, like we\u2019ll sit down as a band beforehand and talk, \u201cI\u2019ve been kinda diggin\u2019 this,\u201d or \u201cI wanna do this kind of stuff, what do you think of this?\u201d but it\u2019s definitely a situation where we decide what we wanna write and then we go ahead and do it. It\u2019s gotta be from us and it\u2019s gotta be genuine, you know? At least, that\u2019s my interpretation of it.\nSo you\u2019re not actively trying to think like \u201cWe had a record that was super influential like The Fall of Ideals\u201d or \u201cour last record before this one sounded like this, so we have to make it sound a certain way.\u201d It\u2019s just what you guys want to write.\nThe things that you mention, I feel like those go into the equation, but that\u2019s not what you base your decision on. You can\u2019t help but think about both things when you\u2019re deciding what you want to do, but you don\u2019t base your decision on one dynamic or one aspect or one vector. There\u2019s a lot of things that go into what makes you feel like you want to do something now or do a type of record or a record the way you do it at the time.\nA record\u2019s really a snapshot of where musicians are in the journey.\nBuilding off that, it\u2019s a snapshot of where you guys were at the time. Were you trying to incorporate new things? What was going through your minds then when you decided to write a record that sounded like Victims of the New Disease?\nWe kind of just realized the last two records weren\u2019t really our heaviest stuff and we just wanted to do something heavy. It was real simple, it wasn\u2019t something that we took a lot of time contemplating.\nPersonally, I feel like \u2026for We Are Many is kind of what I want All That Remains to kind of be and so when the guys were like \u201cHey, let\u2019s do this,\u201d or maybe I think that\u2019s the best representation of All That Remains.\nEither way, when the guys were like \u201cHey, let\u2019s do a heavy one,\u201d I was like \u201cYeah, let\u2019s do it. Let\u2019s do something like \u2026for We Are Many or whatever,\u201d so it was an easy decision for us.\nWas it a pretty straightforward record to write and record if everybody was on the same page?\nIt was really easy. We got together and did like five demos in February, maybe January of last year and we did them with Dan Laskiewicz, the guy that produced the record, and we were excited about the way they came out, so we were like \u201cLet\u2019s just go ahead and hammer \u2019em out\u201d and it came really fast and it came together pretty easily.\nWhen we started writing, with doing those demos, it was in, I wanna say at the beginning of March, halfway through February, but say the beginning of March and then we were done with the record by the end of July. It was pretty fast to go ahead and go from writing to mixed and mastered and ready to go.\nIs that how all your records go or was that an anomaly?\nIt was a little bit of an anomaly, but no, our records don\u2019t go that fast usually. We have done them that fast, like The Fall of Ideals came together really fast, but [This] Darkened [Heart], we were working on that for two years before that record was ready to go. I think Overcome we did fairly quickly, but we spent a lot of time writing and trying to get the music right before we got into the studio. They\u2019ve each kind of been their own animal, but it\u2019s definitely not a typical thing for us to go ahead and bang out a record in four or five months.\nYour European dates and UK dates that you just finished, how did those go? The album had just come out pretty much, so did people know the words to those songs? Were you playing a heavy set from the new album?\nWell, we weren\u2019t playing a set from the new album. For us, going and doing that tour was trying to do multiple things: obviously promote the new record, but also get back into Europe. We had a worldwide deal with one record company and they didn\u2019t really have an office over there, so we never really got a lot of support and a lot of oomph over there, so we were talking and we just wanted to go back and hit it again with a new label that\u2019s got offices in Europe and stuff, kind of has a more global package together for the business side of it.\nWe were like \u201cLook, we wanna go and we wanna make a serious effort at making a career in Europe.\u201d We went ahead and booked a tour and it went way better than I actually expected. It\u2019s been a couple years since we\u2019ve been over there and I didn\u2019t know what to expect at all, but some of the shows were really, really cool and they were better attended than I expected. We played places that we\u2019d never played; we\u2019d never played Poland before and we played there and that was cool, so it was a really, really good tour considering what my expectation was.\nDid you play those dates with Jason?\nJason Richardson, yeah. And he knocked it out of the park. He was amazing.\nHow did you end up linking up with Jason to do these shows? Obviously he\u2019s a known guitarist in the metal, metalcore scene but how did he end up becoming the guy to step in and do these shows with you?\nWell we had toured with Born of Osiris when Jason was in that band and him and Oli had hit it off and become buddies. I\u2019m not sure exactly how much they stayed in contact, but I knew that they would hang out and talk guitar and listen to music and stuff, so when Oli passed away, Jason did a cover of him playing \u201cChiron\u201d and then Aaron [Patrick], our bass player, reached out to Jason and said \u201cHey, you sounded really good. Would you be interested in filling in if we went and needed you to come aboard?\u201d\nHe was like \u201cYeah, dude, I\u2019d love to\u201d and he did an amazing job. He came in and nailed everything and really kind of saved our ass. He made it easier on us when it comes to the grieving side of it. It relieved pressure about this stuff, the business side that we had planned.\nThe personal side is easier to handle and cope with. The more pressures you can relieve on a situation, the better.\nWhat have your performances been like without Oli in the band now? Obviously they must be incredibly hard, but have you felt like your performance on the stage is different?\nI don\u2019t know. It\u2019s tough for me to answer that kind of question. It\u2019s still really new. In the 20 years\u2019 time that All That Remains has been a band, there\u2019s only been one tour where Oli wasn\u2019t ever playing lead guitar. I don\u2019t know how to process that yet, I\u2019m not sure how I feel about it yet.\nI can imagine it\u2019s a big adjustment.\nIt was one tour and we don\u2019t have someone that\u2019s actually \u201cthe guy\u201d yet. We haven\u2019t discussed whether Jason wants to join the band full time, we haven\u2019t discussed whether or not we want to have Jason join the band. We\u2019re not even at that point yet, so I don\u2019t know.\nI saw in an interview that you had said that Oli would\u2019ve wanted you to just have the band carry on. That would\u2019ve been what he had wanted, so is the name of the game just to do these live shows and figure out the rest when you\u2019re further along in the process?\nYeah. The band\u2019s gonna stay together, the band\u2019s gonna keep going, and as for anything else, I guess I can\u2019t really\u2026 I can\u2019t shed any more light on that situation. It\u2019s not something that I have really any more information. We know we\u2019re gonna keep going, but I don\u2019t know what that means.\nYou\u2019ll do the US tour with In Flames in a couple months. I know you said when you were in Europe, you didn\u2019t necessarily focus on the new album so much as just getting into Europe again; in the US, will it be a much more new album-centric tour or what should people expect for that?\nThe In Flames shows, we\u2019re probably only going to have about 45 minutes and there\u2019s a couple songs that we have to play, so we\u2019ll probably get two, maybe three, new songs in there.\nWe\u2019ve got something else booked that, by the time this comes out, will be announced, I believe. [All That Remains announced a co-headlining run with Attila for March].On the tour after that, it\u2019s gonna be a co-headliner and so we\u2019ll have like an hour, maybe a little bit more.\nTo be flat-out honest with you, when it comes to getting the guys to play new songs, they don\u2019t like to play new songs early in the record cycle. They want the record to be out and people to know stuff. Two, maybe three, I think four is pushing it, so probably three new songs.\nThe post Interview: All That Remains\u2019 Phil Labonte on Oli Herbert and \u201cVictims of the New Disease\u201d appeared first on Decibel Magazine.",

For example, the marketing department might have their devices located in one part of the city while the London office\u2019s are grouped in another.\nThe analysts can then monitor and patrol those buildings, which convey information about data traffic and security threats related to that device. The shape of the building \u2014 perhaps it\u2019s round or square \u2014 designates what type of device it is; the height represents the IP network traffic; and the width indicates how much bandwidth is going to the device. If a building turns red or orange, an analyst would know there\u2019s an elevated level of risk or unusual activity associated with that particular asset.\nChasin hopes visualization technology like this might transform the technically complicated work of a security analyst into something more like playing a video game.\nThat could widen the pool for who is a good fit for the job and reduce the technical-skill barrier preventing people from getting into the profession. Today, there\u2019s a major shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals \u2014 a talent gap that\u2019s expected to grow \u2014 and the reason, according to Chasin, is the knowledge base required for the job is fairly large.\n\u201cToday, you have to work with terminal windows, shell-scripts, python scripts, and have an understanding of forensic analysis. Using visual filtering techniques \u2014 someone without any experience in shell-script or python can see everything at once,\u201d Chasin says.\nChasin also points out that a younger generation of employees might be well-suited for the interface.\n\u201cWe see an opportunity to tap into that next generation, the Minecraft generation, that can reason about data visually. There\u2019s now a younger generation who understand virtual worlds and the mechanics of games with a skill-set that\u2019s suited to a platform like Immersive Grid.\u201d\nAll this almost sounds like a vision straight from science fiction \u2014 like Neuromancer, where hackers prowl the virtual reality \u201ccyberspace\u201d for corporate and military targets, or Ender\u2019s Game, where a youthful, games-savvy generation are used to create real-world consequences through their gameplay. As society continues to see explosive growth in the popularity of eSports and a cultural shift towards valuing competitive video games, we\u2019re even now seeing gaming find a place inside big-name collegiate sports programs.\nIf visual interfaces like Immersive Grid become more common, those gaming skills might actually translate into the business world.\nChasin believes this type of interface will have a real world impact on the way security is managed in the future. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about a technology set that will allow us to actually build cyberspace,\u201d he says.\nAnd what he\u2019s talking about may have an impact beyond cybersecurity. The influence of 3D interfaces on the way humans interact with the digital world will bring about a shift as dramatic as moving from text to graphical user interfaces. Humans are natively 3D thinkers, so moving to augmented and virtual worlds to interact with data could accelerate the human ability to manage our world.\nIt might sound like some far-off scenario pulled from science fiction, but sooner than we think, significant numbers of people may be showing up to work inside a virtual reality headset device.\nSource:https://singularityhub.com/2017/05/08/cybersecurity-pros-will-soon-patrol-computer-networks-like-agents-in-the-matrix/",

        "raw_content": "Canada loses 4,300 net jobs in December, jobless rate stays put at 6.6%\nle 9 Jan 2015 \u00e0 12:20 PM\nAndy Blatchford / The Canadian Press\nOTTAWA -- The Canadian labour market capped off 2014 by losing 4,300 net jobs in December, a slight dip from the previous month that left the unemployment rate locked at 6.6 per cent, Statistics Canada said Friday.\nThe agency's latest job-market survey found that Canada added 185,700 net new positions in 2014, with the bulk of the increase coming in the second half of the calendar. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, moved down over the course of the year from 7.2 per cent.\n\"I think we can say it was a fairly good year for employment -- nothing through the roof, but it was just a decent year,\" said Jimmy Jean, a senior economist with Desjardins Capital Markets.\n\"Looking forward, we continue to expect the Canadian economy to benefit from the U.S. acceleration... so we should continue to see a very decent pace of job creation on an overall basis.\"\nFor December, the agency's report found the country gained 53,500 full-time positions, a tally more than offset by a loss of 57,700 part-time jobs.\nDecember was the second straight month the survey registered a small drop in employment. The economy shed 10,700 net jobs in November, but those decreases followed large back-to-back increases of 74,100 in September and 43,100 jobs in October.\nThe unemployment rate matched the projection of economists, who had also predicted a net gain of 15,000 jobs for December, according to Thomson Reuters.\nExperts were watching for clues that Canada's economic strength was shifting from the energy sector to manufacturing, an expected fallout from the lower loonie and the oil prices that began to plummet in October.\nJean said he was surprised to see the natural-resources sector add 10,200 jobs across Canada in December, while the manufacturing industry lost 18,300 positions.\n\"We've kind of been expecting the opposite to be at play with the weaker currency,\" he said.\n\"I think it speaks volumes to the challenges still faced by the (manufacturing) sector. Even if the currency is weaker, it's going to take time before businesses really start to invest.\"\nBy industry, accommodation and food services saw the biggest job one-month decline in the survey, losing 32,800 positions in December. But, over 2014, the category had added 38,300 jobs.\nThe Statistics Canada findings also show the youth unemployment rate moved up 0.3 percentage points in December to 13.3 per cent, but that 62,500 more young people had jobs compared to a year earlier.\nThe survey found that 23,600 fewer women between the ages of 25 and 54 were working last month. The unemployment rate, however, for that category remained unchanged at 5.2 per cent as fewer participated in the labour market.\nFor men, the agency said 22,600 more males in the same age bracket found employment last month, which nudged the category's jobless rate down 0.2 percentage points to 5.5 per cent -- its lowest level since 2008.\nCIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld said Friday he expected the \"weak headline\" in the December numbers to apply pressure on the Canadian dollar, but he thought the details provided \"some comfort.\"\n\"The story for Canada is all about what lies ahead given the recent drop in energy prices, rather than the (fourth-quarter) picture,\" Shenfeld wrote in a note to clients.\nThe senior policy adviser from the left-leaning Broadbent Institute think-tank was disappointed by the 2014 job numbers.\n\"2014 was a pitiful year for Canadian working people,\" Andrew Jackson said Friday in a statement released by the organization, which was founded by former NDP leader Ed Broadbent.\nJackson said the lower unemployment rate was likely due to the fall of the country's participation rate, a number that tracks Canadians with jobs and those looking for jobs as a percentage of the working-age population.\nOver the last year, the participation rate fell to 65.9 per cent from 66.4.\nHowever, while some believe a declining participation rate is a clear indicator that thousands of people have become too discouraged to look for work and have left the workforce, some experts argue it could also be due to the fact many baby boomers have started to retire.\nStatistics Canada plans to publish a year-end review of the 2014 numbers on Jan. 28.",

        "raw_content": "Rubber subsidy without Aadhaar card, a long demand by rubber farmers, has finally got a green signal. The Kerala government has taken a favorable decision to grant subsidy without Aadhaar Card for the rubber farmers in Kerala. The rubber planters who do not have Aadhaar cards also can now claim their subsidies.\nFarmers can register with the scheme with other identification documents from October 1 to 15.\nThe government also decided to extend the subsidy scheme to farmers selling latex directly along with rubber sheets. This decision will be implemented by next month ( October, 2015). With this the farmers will be given the difference between Rs 142 and the price of latex as fixed by the Rubber Board.\nAadhaar identification was made mandatory for registering online with the scheme in the initial phase to make sure that the advantage would go to the genuine beneficiaries avoiding fake claims. But for widespread complaints that many farmers were left out of the scheme since they do not have Aadhaar cards, the government was forced to make the process more farmer-friendly.\nNow they can submit Election Commission\u2019s identity car, driving license, Pan card or passport in the second phase of registering starting October 1. Registration of farmers who have cited their Aadhaar numbers is expected to be completed by September 30. The software has been tweaked to accommodate the applications of the farmers without Aadhaar numbers.\nAbout 2.5 lakhs farmers have registered with the scheme and Rs 5.88 crore has been disbursed as subsidy to 23,000 farmers till September 23,2015.\nThe state government has set aside Rs 300 crore for the grant of subsidy to rubber farmers. Though about 2.5 farmers have registered with the programme, only half of these applications were vetted and approved of. Currently, subsidies are disbursed for the rubber sold in July.\nThe farmers whose applications have been approved are submitting bills through the rubber producers\u2019 societies.",

It indeed featured real fleas attached by very thin wires to miniature chariots, merry-go-rounds and the like.\nThe New Yorker mentioned Hubert\u2019s in this brief \u201cTalk of the Town\u201d item:\nThese days it seems a bit strange that women covered in tattoos were once considered sideshow oddities. Among the more famous was Stella Grassman, who worked as a \u201cTattooed Lady\u201d in the late 1920\u2019s in the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus and also appeared at Hubert\u2019s. Stella and her husband, Deafy (pictured below) owned a tattoo shop on the Bowery.\nStella Grassman and her husband, Deafy (Tattoo Archive)\nAnd then there was Professor Heckler\u2019s Flea Circus, depicted below (the \u201cfleas\u201d enlarged 700 times, and obviously embellished) in a feature on Prof. Heckler in the March 1930 issue of Modern Mechanics:\n(Sideshow World)\nThe entrance to Hubert\u2019s, photo undated, but probably from the early 1950\u2019s:\nEntrance to Hubert\u2019s Museum (Ephemeral New York)\nAfter Hubert\u2019s closed it became just another porno peep show, a ubiquitous sight on Times Square until the city began a \u201cclean up\u201d of the area in the 1990s.\nProfiles examined the life and work of playwright Eugene O\u2019Neil, and in the \u201cCritique\u201d section Gilbert W.

Ross, miffed by Mankiewicz\u2019s interest in Hollywood, famously fired \u201cMank\u201d by telegram (Mankiewicz would go on to a successful career as a screenwriter on such films as Citizen Kane and The Wizard of Oz).\nFinally, an interesting take in \u201cTalk of the Town\u201d on book censorship of the day:\nHard to believe that many of these books were considered lurid in their day, and were much sought after. Now you can buy practically anything, but then again, so few people read anymore these days.\n\u201cTalk\u201d ended with this helpful advice on current cocktail recipes (remember we are in the midst of Prohibition). The \u201cTitantic,\u201d with six parts gin, seems deadly indeed:\nWhat is \u201cNuxated Iron\u201d you ask? It was sold as a performing enhancing iron supplement in the early 20th century, endorsed by such athletes as boxer Jack Dempsey and baseball\u2019s Ty Cobb. The blog Peterboriana explains it thus:\n\u201cNuxated Iron\u201d pills, as endorsed by Dempsey, were, obviously, iron supplements. As for the \u201cnuxated\u201d part of it, that refers to nux vomica, a deadly substance better known as strychnine (i.e. rat poison). Fortunately, the stuff being hawked\u2026actually contained very little strychnine, and not much iron either. It was comparatively useless as a performance-enhancing drug, but would not kill you unless you took a lot of it.\nSo if the Titanic\u2019s six parts gin don\u2019t get you first, maybe the Nuxated Iron will.\nNext Time: Stop and Go\nPosted on October 20, 2015 Author David OCategories The New Yorker MagazineTags Banned books, Book censorship, Cocktails 1920s, Eugene O'Neill, Heckler's Flea Circus, Herman J.

One of the most noteworthy features of the handheld is the ability of the upper screen to display 3D without the need for glasses in a technique known as autostereoscopy.\nIt is backwards compatible with Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games (though they are not displayed in 3D), but not Game Boy Advance games, as it lacks a designed slot like the DSi and the DSi XL.\nThe system has motion and gyroscopic detection for interactivity with the games and apps that use movement of the system, and features a new analog circle control, referred to by Nintendo as a 'Circle Pad', a first for a Nintendo handheld.\nAs with the Nintendo DSi, the Nintendo 3DS has a camera function. However, there are two outer camera lenses, enabling users to take pictures and videos and view them in 3D.\nThe system is also able to provide optimal comfort levels, as shown by the 3D depth slider that adjusts how much depth the 3D has, or turns the 3D off.\nThere is also an adjustable telescopic stylus, which fits in the left side of the card slot like the original DS, and can be adjusted in a length of up to 3.94 inches long.\nHowever, the top screen is widescreen and capable of displaying 3D graphics without the need for 3D glasses, while the bottom screen is a touch screen. The bottom screen is unable to display 3D graphics, as it would be impractical. While not confirmed, scratches may also have played a role in the omission of 3D on the bottom screen.\nThe player can adjust the depth of the 3D via a 3D slider Nintendo implemented on the right side of the upper screen of the handheld. Nintendo has made statements that the 3D technology allows long periods of play without eyestrain.\nNevertheless, they have discussed the possibilities of implementing a feature in games that suggests that players take a break every once in a while, like the Virtual Boy, and have reportedly suggested that third party developers do the same. Actually, Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition features that, telling the player immediately after starting the game from the 3DS Menu that he/she must take a break after 10 minutes of play with 3D activated.\nThe 3DS contains several other enhancements over the previous Nintendo handhelds. The Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL both had a camera built on the inside and outside of the system. This returns with the 3DS, though this time there are 2 lenses on the outside camera, with both of them being only slightly separated so that, when the player takes a picture, it can be viewed in 3D. The inside camera is now stationed above the top screen rather than on the hinge (as the DSi and the DSi XL) and can still only take 2D pictures. As of December 2011, the 3DS is also capable of recording 3D videos up to 10 minutes long.\nAnother thing on the 3DS is the Circle Pad. Similar to an analog stick, the circle pad is the first of its kind on a Nintendo handheld. The standard buttons present on the Nintendo DS are also on the 3DS, including the face buttons (A, B, X, Y), Start and Select, the D-Pad, and the shoulder buttons (L and R). A new button called the HOME button, similar to the one featured on the Wii Remote, allows players to instantly go to the 3DS's home menu and switch between other games & apps. Doing this will not stop the progress the player made in a video game as they are capable of going back to where they were by pressing the home button again.\nA motion sensor and a gyro sensor, similar to the ones featured in the Dualshock 3 controller, were incorporated into the Nintendo 3DS. With these two sensors, the 3DS is efficiently capable of discerning the movements of the Nintendo 3DS. For example, in a racing game, the 3DS would be able to apprehend that the player is rotating the handheld like a steering wheel. According to the system's developers, the sensors weren't included in the system until right before the Nintendo 3DS's unveiling at E3 2010, noting the consensus of the company that something in the system was lacking.\nTwo new welcome additions to the Nintendo 3DS are StreetPass and SpotPass. When in sleep mode, StreetPass on the 3DS can gather information from other 3DS owners when it enters its range, no matter if it's on the pocket, wallet, or even a backpack. With this feature enabled, players can receive the other 3DS owner's Miis, game information (such as high scores), and more just by passing them by on the street.\nUnlike Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies, a Nintendo DS game that required the game's cart to be in the DS and the mode activated, the 3DS's StreetPass allows for information exchanges to be performed on any game that the player owns, regardless of if they have it in the system or not. With SpotPass, the system is able to detect wireless hotspots and LAN access points of many public services such as restaurants, and automatically download content, updates and more to the system. This mode works both when the system is on or in sleep mode.\nThere are several pre-installed applications on the Nintendo 3DS that can be accessed on the Home Menu. The 3DS's Home Menu is similar to the one present on the Wii and Nintendo DSi systems. Unlike the Wii's Home Menu, and like the DSi, separate applications are not referred to as \"channels\". The Home Menu can be accessed at all times by simply pressing the home button on the 3DS, no matter if a 3DS or Virtual Console game or an application (except the ones from the upper bar of the menu, like the Internet Browser) is running, without having data interrupted or erased. It can't, however, be accessed when playing DS or DSi games. There are also certain times in software when you cannot access the Home Menu, like the Wii (such as when a game is loading or saving, or playing online modes of a game).\nThe Miis, made famous with the Wii, are heavily featured on the Nintendo 3DS. The Nintendo DS featured some games that made use of the Miis, such as Personal Trainer: Walking, but did not feature an integrated Mii application. The 3DS's Mii creation tool, titled Mii Maker, has numerous noteworthy enhancements over the Wii's Mii Channel. The most extraordinary new feature is the ability to take a picture of someone and have the Mii Maker automatically produce a Mii of that person (the player can subsequently make alterations if they prefer). In StreetPass Mii Plaza, an application similar to the Wii's Mii Parade, Miis that have been obtained through StreetPass (see above) can be viewed there, with the image & name of the last game or app they used.\nIn the Nintendo eShop, players can download classic Game Boy, and Game Boy Color, games as well as titles made specifically for the service. Games made available on DSiWare, the Nintendo DSi's similar service, can also be purchased there. 3D Remakes of classic Nintendo Entertainment System video games, titled \"3D Classics\" will also be available for purchase through the eShop with enhanced graphics and, as the title says, 3D effects. There will also be select retail games available on the eShop; New Super Mario Bros. 2 was the first one.\nIn addition to the preloaded applications there is a diverse set of preloaded video games that come with every Nintendo 3DS. Most of these video games are listed under AR Games, which is an Augmented Reality game/application that makes use of one of the six AR Cards that come with every unit, and the outer cameras, to make them appear on the screen and play interactive games and apps. In all there are around 15 AR Games with all but one having to be unlocked.\nAround half of the AR Games can only obtained by using Play Coins. Face Raiders is another game that comes included with the system. With it, the person's face (taken with the inner camera or the outer cameras) is placed in different headgear that must be destroyed in the environment they are, by rotating their bodies along with the 3DS to find and destroy them. Two games that make use of StreetPass, Find Mii and Puzzle Swap, come pre-installed with each device, and can be found in the games section of the StreetPass Mii Plaza.\nFind Mii is an RPG style game where players try to escape a tower by battling enemies. The only way to get through the tower is by finding other player's Miis using StreetPass, as well as obtaining Play Coins to buy allies with cat-like rosters to beat the enemies. In Puzzle Swap, players try and finish a 3D puzzle by acquiring puzzle pieces using StreetPass, to show 3D landscapes based on Nintendo's popular franchises. The landscapes are based on the ones that were shown on one of the Nintendo 3DS demos of E3 2010. Nintendo 3DS Sound is also StreetPass enabled. With it, players can see which songs the other person listens to the most.\nThe Nintendo 3DS promotes a healthy lifestyle by rewarding a player with Play Coins (1 coin for every 100 steps, for a max of 300 coins). There is also an application on the 3DS called Activity Log; it records how many steps the player takes, and keeps track of the games the user has played on their Nintendo 3DS, the amount of time spent on each game, the average time, the amount of times played, the first time the game was played, and the last time it was played.\nThe 3D effect is the primary new feature of the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendo advises that, in order to view the 3D properly, the user holds the unit approximately 10 to 14 inches away from their eyes (25-35 centimeters). Each user has his or her own \"sweet spot\" that can be found by adjusting not only the depth of the 3D visuals but also the height at which the Nintendo 3DS is held. There are three such spots, one at the center of the screen and two to either side.\nThis seemingly unintended feature of the screen allows bystanders to watch the game in proper 3D. The depth of the 3D effects can be altered by using the 3D depth slider on the side of the system. Nintendo suggests that users should regularly take 15 minute breaks in order to rest their eyes. While Nintendo's official stance on the product is that it is entirely safe, they ask parents of children under the age of 7 to use the parental controls to restrict their children from viewing 3D images.\nTilting the Nintendo 3DS at most angles while 3D is turned on will cause the viewer to lose the effect and see a distorted image. For this reason, Nintendo asks its users to look at the screen head on. Looking down at the touch screen and back up at the top screen should not cause strain for most people and will not cause the viewer to momentarily lose the 3D effect when they return to the top screen. Some people are unable to see 3D images for various reasons, whether it be poor eyesight or blindness in one eye. For this reason, Nintendo suggests that players with this problem turn 3D off.\nLicensed screen protectors used on the top screen, if used properly, will not diminish the 3D effects or the image produced. Nintendo notes that unlicensed products, having not been approved or disapproved by them, may cause the 3D images to recede.\nSystem and feature updates\nThrough system updates, Nintendo will deliver improvements to the Nintendo 3DS. In order to receive the latest update from Nintendo, users are required to go to the System Settings menu on the Nintendo 3DS, touch \"Other Settings\" and go to page four where the user will find \"System Update\". After accepting the Terms of Agreement, the system will urge the player to charge the Nintendo 3DS while the update is being downloaded.\nIt takes several minutes for the update to download, though if it seems to have stopped, it is advised that the user turns the system off and try again. Updates may make minor enhancements to the 3DS, include new features, or simply just block flash cartridges. An update which contained the eShop (among other things) was released on June 6, 2011.\nMain article: Nintendo 3DS XL\nThe Nintendo 3DS XL was announced on June 21, 2012 and was released on July 28, 2012 in Japan and Europe, and August 19 in America (same day as New Super Mario Bros. 2). The system features a 5\" inch display and features the same interface as the original 3DS. The only known colors are red, blue, silver, and white.

In August 2011, the new colour, Flame Red, which is sometimes called Flare red or Metallic red depending on the region, was released. Pearl Pink, which is sometimes known as Coral pink or Misty pink, was first released in Europe in November 18, 2011, and was released in North America the following year - it may be bundled with Nintendogs + Cats.\nIce White was also released in December 2, 2011, but not in North America - sometimes bundled with Super Mario 3D Land. In April 22, 2012, Cobalt Blue was released exclusively in Japan as a replacement for Aqua - it is darker and brighter than Aqua. In May 20, 2012, Midnight Purple was released exclusively in North America. In Asian regions, near China, Japan, and Korea, Cerulean Blue and Shimmer Pink was released in September 28, 2012. Cerulean blue is lighter shade of blue and Shimmer pink is magenta/fuchsia, like dark pink.\nPikachu Yellow 3DS XL\nMain article: List of Nintendo 3DS limited editions\nAlong with the various color choices, Nintendo has released special editions, featuring images and decorative symbols, often bundled with games. There are at least 52 limited editions of the 3DS. Here are some special editions for the following games:\nThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D - black-brown with yellow decoration.\nThe Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - gold-black with a triforce\nMonster Hunter Tri G - white with red decoration.\nKingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance - black-grey with black decoration.\nFire Emblem: Awakening - cobalt blue with white decoration.\nDragon Quest Monsters: Terry\u2019s Wonderland 3D - white with cyan-blue decoration.\nMetal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D - black with snake skin.\nAnimal Crossing: New Leaf - White in color, decorated with various colored leaves\nShin Megami Tensei IV - White with black silhouette decoration\nCharizard Special Edition - Black with white outline of Charizard\nThere were also three Mario-themed editions exclusive to Club Nintendo of Japan and Europe. A Pikachu themed 3DS XL, called Pikachu Yellow, was also sold at Pok\u00e9mon Centers in Japan.\nA popular view of the 3DS menu.\nWhen the system is turned on, the first thing the player will notice (if played on an older DS before) is that there is no health and safety information notice, but instead, a health and safety information application on the menu. The menu looks like the DSi menu at first but this can be changed with the little square icons in the top of the bottom screen.\nThere are also several other icons, being a dimmer and brighter feature, a menu size feature, a friends application, notifications, notes, and the browser. Most of the applications from the DSi are the same on the 3DS. When a game/application is selected (the green box is encompassing its icon), it's logo as well as something from the game/application will appear on the top screen. DS and DSi games only show the icon on the top screen.\nWhen starting a DS or DSi game, if the Start or Select button is held down, the game will be shown in its native resolution, though the game will appear smaller.\nCTR-001 (USA)\nSee main article: List of Nintendo 3DS games.\nYoukai Watch 2: Ganso and Hanke\n3D Beginnings\nA Famicom 3D System poster.\nOn several occasions Nintendo has experimented with 3D technology. Overall, the several attempts had mixed results critically and commercially. Nintendo's first descent into 3D was as early as the Famicom era when they released the Famicom 3D System in Japan. A clunky accessory that players were required to place on their head, the 3D System was used in very few games.\nIn fact, of the games released, Nintendo only published one title that made use of the accessory called Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally. Other titles released that were 3D System enabled include Highway Star (Rad Racer in Western countries) and Falsion. The device was ultimately a failure, with numerous consumers complaining about the motion sickness they experienced when wearing the goggles. This, in addition to the dismal support it received from developers including Nintendo, led to its cancellation. It was never released outside of Japan.\nNot one to give up, Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi, who always wanted the objects in video games to pop out at the player, continued investing money in 3D technology. Gunpei Yokoi was the lead designer in the next project, titled the Virtual Boy. The Virtual Boy was an interesting project but failed for several reasons. Yamauchi conclusively saw a larger chance of success in the Nintendo 64 and diverted most of his attention, manpower and money to that product while almost anticipating a certain doom for the less appealing, unsightly and awkward Virtual Boy. Despite a nice sized marketing campaign, the Virtual Boy was discontinued in less than a year. In anticipation of the 3DS launch, president Satoru Iwata surprisingly discussed the Virtual Boy with lead designer Shigeru Miyamoto.\nA woman playing the Virtual Boy at E3 1995.\nThe two shared their thoughts on the device and Miyamoto concluded that one of the reasons the Virtual Boy failed was because it didn't share the same technology with the superior Nintendo 64. He said that the Nintendo 64 was meant to \"confront 3D head-on\", while the \"Virtual Boy was using different technology to aim at enjoyment of 3D without rushing in the general direction 3D was headed at the time.\" He went on to say that the wire frames that the Virtual Boy employed \"weren't terribly appealing\", saying that he thought initially about using them for the Nintendo 64 but abandoned the idea when he realized that they didn't work well for video games. Iwata also recognized that the red-and-black visuals were also a detriment to the system.\nSince then, Nintendo experimented with 3D in several instances but never released the products to the market. Every Nintendo GameCube is 3D ready. However, no accessory was released or even announced that made use of the GameCube's capabilities. This fact was revealed years after the GameCube was discontinued, and it was also reported that Luigi's Mansion, a launch title for the system, actually has 3D capability. However, this functionality was never enabled outside of development.\nIt's interesting to note that Hideki Konno, the product producer of the 3DS, was also the director of Luigi's Mansion. Iwata noted that, had they released an accessory for the GameCube that took advantage of its potentiality, it would have been more expensive than the system itself. Soon after this, the designers of the Game Boy Advance SP merely examined the possibilities of 3D without special glasses for the handheld, but decided against the idea when they discovered that the resolution of LCD was too low at the time, which would have lessened the effect of the 3D stereoscopic visuals.\nMore recently, Hiroshi Yamauchi enquired about the possibilities of adding some kind of 3D effects to Shigureden, a display focusing on Hyakunin Isshu playing cards that Nintendo assisted in the development of. Ultimately, the designers didn't have enough time when it came to creating such an effect for the exhibit and thus deserted the idea. Miyamoto, who was involved in the creation of the Shigureden, stated that even though they didn't manage to create something special for the exhibition, he and the rest of Nintendo managed to learn a lot about 3D in the process, which assisted in the development of the 3DS.\nKonno was the producer of the 3DS.\nNintendo claims that they begin development on their next system before the current system has even been released. This is true with the 3DS, as the designers have claimed that they began performing research into the next product. At the time, the developers had no clue whether or not the Nintendo DS would be a success, and thus planned a successor with two screens in the event that it succeeded and another with one screen in the event that it failed. Clearly, with the unanticipated and unprecedented success of the Nintendo DS, Nintendo went on with their plans in developing a second dual screened handheld.\nIn the summer of 2008, Hideki Konno came on board as the overall producer of the Nintendo 3DS. He is well known as the producer of such titles as Mario Kart and Nintendogs, and continued this role with the 3DS variations of these titles as well. He revealed that this occurred shortly after the completion of Mario Kart Wii on the Wii system. According to him, Shigeru Miyamoto approached him and asked him to be involved in the creation of Nintendo DSi Sound, a sound application built into the Nintendo DSi and subsequently the Nintendo DSi XL.\nSoon after Nintendo DSi Sound was completed, Miyamoto went up to him once more and offered him the role of producer on the new Nintendo 3DS. This would have been the first time that Konno was ever involved in an actual piece of hardware, though he notes that he has always been interested in handheld gadgets.\nLike the handhelds preceding it, the Nintendo 3DS was developed by Nintendo Research and Engineering. The team was formed during the inception of the Game Boy Color and has been the primary architects of Nintendo handhelds ever since. Kenichi Sugino, the manager of the Design Group at Nintendo R&E, was responsible for the look of the Nintendo 3DS. He has been involved in several of Nintendo's previous handhelds in addition to the Virtual Boy. According to him, they made the 3DS as small as they possibly could, which is why they didn't have any immediate plans for a smaller successor (as they did with the Nintendo DS and DS Lite).\nWhen approached about the possibility of 3D with the new system, Sugino was instantly opposed to the idea, saying that past experiences with 3D experimentation had made him traumatized. His fears were compressed, however, when he saw a demo of Mario Kart Wii in 3D without glasses. Ryuji Umezu, another project director, said he was shocked when he was approached about the idea of not only 3D but also the addition of the stereoscopic LCD as well.\nMain article: Nintendo 3DS/gallery\nResponse of the Nintendo 3DS announcement - Developers, critics and analysts' opinions on the 3DS announcement.\nNintendo 3DS Official Site\nRetrieved from \"https://nintendo.fandom.com/wiki/Nintendo_3DS?oldid=447653\"",

        "raw_content": "A Silent Voice, anime, asl, deaf, film, Film Critic, film review, japan, review\nA Silent Voice Trailer\nI have to admit my bias in wanting to view this movie. It involves a deaf student and is dubbed by a deaf actress (Lexi Marman). It was offered by Fathom events January 31st and will be released on Blueray in the US on April 2nd.\nThe story follows a young man, Shoya, though his elementary years where he appears to be a bit of a class clown and a definite bully. His main focus of antagonism is the new deaf girl: Shoko.\nWhat goes around, comes around, and Shoya becomes a victim of his own actions.\nWithout spoiling anything, the film covers some pretty heavy subjects with beautiful animation, a touching story-line and laughs thrown in at just the right moments. It is very good with timing. When it seems to be going slow, it picks up again with a plot point that pulls you out.\nPaper art by Noelle Campbell\nThe subjects range from disability, friendship, bullying, forgiveness, redemption, suicide and self worth. Though teenagers and young adults will feel this resonates more with them, everyone can relate to someone in the story, maybe even more than one someone.\nThere are a few tropes, and there may be character tic\u2019s that are annoying and remain unredeemed, but if you are a fan of anime, you will forgive them and appreciate the art and a few interesting ways the animators chose to tell the story. The perspectives are all brought into focus at the end, which ties the movie up nicely, but you might be left wondering what happens next\u2013which is the point to any well told story.\nIf you know ASL, you won\u2019t be able to make any of the signs out as familiar. You might, however, be able to figure out what a few of the signs are by the end of the movie\u2013especially: Thank you, sorry and sister. I don\u2019t know how far that will get you in the deaf community in Japan, but it\u2019s fun to think about.\nThe Fathom Events show had an interview with the voice of Shoko, Lexi Marman, and it adds to the depth of the entire story. I hope the interview will be on their dvd release in April.\nI would give it four out of five stars.",

        "raw_content": "Leather - quite vulnerable organ of the human body. She often appear specific tumors, delivering some problems. Among the various skin defects stand keratomas - original skin growths. They are small patches of skin with swollen epithelial layer, which gradually takes the form crusts. Although these tumors are usually asymptomatic, Remove keratitis - a very popular procedure . This is due to the fact that in case of accidental damage to the top layer growths can bleed some of them are able to regenerate malignant. It is also a significant cosmetic defect.\nThe causes of keratitis\nThere are several reasons for the development of skin tumors. Each of them contributes to the appearance of rough growths on the body. In most cases, this inevitably leads to the need for removal keratitis. The main reasons are considered to age-related changes in the body and adverse effects on the human skin to ultraviolet rays. Usually, these causes are interrelated.\nWith age, the skin loses its natural moisture, it begins to roughen the surface layer, making it difficult to sloughing of dead epidermis. As a result, in some places formed a kind of build-up of epithelial cells - keratomas. Damaging\nUV rays aggravates this process. Neoplasms with a brownish tint, gradually crust, which can be very dense or, conversely, flaky. In case of damage to the top layer growths tend to become quite painful and bleeding. Some types of these growths can cause cancer.\nRemoval of keratitis is a kind of prevention of possible complications . In addition, this procedure allows you to solve cosmetic problem because tumors are usually located on exposed parts of the body and often are multiple.\nTypes of keratitis\nAmong the rather large number of skin lesions are most common keratitis following:\nSenile. It is a multiple growths, covered with grayish crust that are prone to inflammation, which causes severe itching. Most often, such defects of the skin found on the face, neck, hands;\nSolar. The development of the pathological process in the skin begins with the emergence of many scaly spots, which are covered with gray scales. As the name implies, are provoking factor ultraviolet rays. Be sure to show the removal of this type of keratitis due to possible danger, because there is a risk of degeneration into a malignant tumor growths ;\nSeborrheic. The defect usually occurs on the scalp. Skin growths dark colors can also appear on the neck, face, extremities. The upper surface of such anomalous formations covered with deep cracks that are shelled and often bleed. With this keratomas delete, reviews which are very positive, to avoid serious consequences and, above all, of cancer.\nRemoving keratitis laser\nThere are various methods for the elimination of skin lesions. The most effective of them is such a procedure, as removal of keratitis laser. This method differs painless, rapid achievement of the desired result, the absence of complications such as scarring or scars. This makes it possible to use it on any parts of the body, including the face.\nDuring the procedure, a laser beam is directed precisely on the keratitis, while it burns through all the layers of damaged skin to healthy tissue. As a result, and the occlusion of vessels feeding keratitis, eliminating bleeding.\nAfter removing keratomas laser healing process of the wound surface runs fast enough for 10-14 days . During the regeneration of the skin can not take a bath, and even more so, to be in the bright sun. After the restoration of the epithelial layer should also avoid UV exposure.\nThere are different opinions about whether it is required or not to remove the keratome, the reviews of people who have a similar procedure, show a significant improvement in well-being, both physically and morally.\nRemoving keratitis at home\nMany people try to practice self-removal of skin lesions using folk remedies. It should be remembered that such treatment may be effectively only at small sizes keratitis, at the initial stage of their development. Since there is always a potential risk of cancerous degeneration of such defects of the skin, be sure to get medical advice.\nThe process of removing keratitis in the home includes the use of both external and internal resources . For the treatment of damaged skin often use cloth moistened with the juice of celandine, which are changed regularly. Also make applications based on oils of coniferous trees. Such procedures contribute to the softening of the build-up, reducing their bleeding and relieves itching.\nInside are herbal teas and herbal teas to help improve the metabolism, which has a positive effect on the skin as a whole. After removing keratomas to avoid negative impact on the body to sunlight.\nIt should nevertheless be noted that the self-treatment of tumors of the skin requires a fairly long time and, at the same time, quite seldom leads to a positive result. Given this fact, it makes more sense to remove keratitis, seek medical advice The more it is possible to choose a method of treatment. This allows you to quickly get rid of the problem and restore the physical and mental calm.",

        "raw_content": "Because of the ultraviolet radiation it emits, the sun is inherently dangerous to human skin. In fact, the American Academy of Dermatology stipulates that there is no safe way to tan. Tanning is the skin\u2019s natural response to damage from the sun. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency proclaims that everybody, regardless of race or ethnicity, is subject to the potential adverse effects of overexposure to the sun. That\u2019s why everyone needs to protect their skin from the sun every day.\nWhen ultraviolet light penetrates the epidermis it stimulates melanin, the substance responsible for skin pigmentation. Up to a point, the melanin absorbs dangerous UV rays before they do serious damage. Melanin increases in response to sun exposure, which is what causes the skin to tan. This is a sign of skin damage, not health. Sunburns develop when the UV exposure is greater than the skin\u2019s natural ability to protect against it.\nSunscreens absorb ultraviolet light so that it doesn\u2019t reach the skin. Look for sunscreens with the active ingredients PABA, benzophenones, cinnamates or salicylates. Sunblocks literally block the UV rays instead of absorbing them. Key active ingredients for sunblock success are titanium oxide and zinc oxide.\nThere is no such thing as \u201call-day protection\u201d or \u201cwaterproof\u201d sunscreen. No matter what the SPF number, sunscreens need to be re-applied every 2 to 3 hours. Products that claim to be \u201cwaterproof\u201d can only protect against sunburn up to 80 minutes in the water. Products labeled \u201cwater resistant\u201d can only protect against sunburn up to 40 minutes in the water.\nEven in the worst weather, 80% of the sun\u2019s UV rays can pass through the clouds. Additionally, sand reflects 25% of the sun\u2019s UV rays and snow reflects 80% of the sun\u2019s UV rays. That\u2019s why sunscreen needs to be worn every day and in every type of weather and climate. The sun\u2019s intensity is also impacted by altitude (the higher the altitude the greater the sun exposure), time of year (summer months) and location (the closer to the Equator, the greater the sun exposure).\nLook for sunscreens that use the term \u201cbroad spectrum\u201d because they protect against both UVA and UVB rays.",

        "title": "Income redistribution across OECD countries: main findings and policy implications \u2013 OECD ECOSCOPE",
        "raw_content": "Posted on February 14, 2019 February 7, 2019 by oecdecoscope\nBy Orsetta Causa, OECD Economics Directorate, and Anna Vindics and James Browne, OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs\nIncome inequality has increased in most OECD countries over the past two decades. This is both because market incomes (wages, dividends, interest income) have become more unequally distributed, and also because redistribution through taxes and transfers has fallen. New OECD work [hyperlink to pol paper, Causa et al 2019] explores cross-country evidence on trends in income redistribution since the mid-1990s to shed some light on the main drivers of the general decline.\nNew evidence on redistribution and its policy drivers\nOne finding is that the decline in redistribution was primarily explained by a fall in cash transfers, which in the majority of OECD countries account for the bulk of redistribution (Causa and Hermansen, 2017). In turn, the decline in cash transfers was largely driven by a fall in insurance transfers (e.g. unemployment insurance, work-related sickness and disability benefits). In some countries, this was partly mitigated by an increase in assistance transfers (e.g. minimum income transfers, means- or income-tested social safety net). Personal income taxes also contributed, but played a less important and more heterogeneous role.\nTo shed light on the underlying drivers, further investigation has been conducted on the basis of both micro-model simulation analysis (Browne and Immervoll, 2019) and regression analysis (Causa et al 2018). The main finding is that policy changes during the past two decades have contributed markedly to the decline in redistribution. This was primarily driven by cuts to cash income support to unemployed households, but also by cuts to the taxation of top incomes and income from capital, as globalisation puts pressure on governments to shift away from highly mobile tax bases. At the same time, not all policy changes went in the direction of reducing redistribution: at lower earnings levels, income taxes have frequently been reduced for low-income working families.\nThis is not to say that changes in redistribution were entirely the result of changes in policy design. In several countries, structural factors such as population ageing and changes in the composition of households and unemployment rates have also had an impact. For instance, the extent of redistribution through unemployment insurance transfers fell in countries experiencing a decline in unemployment over the period under consideration. However, the precise contribution of each of these structural factors to the general decline in redistribution is difficult to assess as their impact cannot easily be disentangled from that of policy changes.\nThe motivation for the decline in redistribution after the mid-1990s\nOne objective behind the policy-induced reduction in redistribution has been to raise employment and economic efficiency in particular by strengthening work incentives (make-work-pay policies). In principle, the pursuit of policies to bring more individuals into the job market, especially among low-income households, might have succeeded in boosting growth while at the same time reducing income inequality. In practice, the continued rise in inequality observed in many countries since the mid-1990s suggests that the positive employment effects of the tax and transfer policy reforms on the income of poorer households have not been sufficient to compensate for the reduction in redistribution.\nDoes this mean that in setting their redistribution policies government inevitably have to choose between more efficiency and less inequality? Not necessarily.\nFirst, there is substantial variation in the extent of inequality reduction through taxes and transfers across the OECD area (Figure 1), including between countries that have similar GDP per capita and overall growth performance. Second, cross-country differences in income redistribution do not only reflect the levels of taxes and spending on cash transfers to the working-age population. They also reflect the extent to which personal income taxes are levied progressively with income levels and the extent to which cash transfers target less affluent households (Figure 2).\nAll this suggests that many OECD countries have scope for making their tax and transfer systems more redistributive without undermining efficiency. However, simply reversing the changes that have led to reduced redistribution is unlikely to be the most effective approach to reducing inequality.\nLeveraging synergies between equity and efficiency objectives\nCountries can learn from successful reform strategies that have leveraged synergies between equity and efficiency objectives. Such is the case of stepping-up carefully designed in-work benefits and credits: these programmes should be as simple as possible to make them accessible to potential recipients, and associated income support should not be withdrawn too quickly as earnings rise to ensure that work incentives are maintained.\nMore generally, tax and transfer reforms should be forward-looking, taking into account the rapidly changing context in which policy operates, not least technological developments, changes in the nature of work as well as ageing populations and the associated pressures on government budgets. For example:\nSocial protection systems should adapt to the emergence of non-standard forms of work. Technological change, among other factors, has led to an increase in non-standard form of work and reduced the coverage of traditional social protection systems that are often based on the model of full-time permanent work for a single employer. Alternative approaches might include designing new, tailor-made benefit schemes for non-standard workers, tying social protection entitlements to individuals rather than employment relationships or making social protection more universal.\nTax policy also needs to reflect rising top incomes and private wealth among ageing populations along with ongoing progress in international cooperation on taxation. Although top earners are very responsive to changes in income tax rates, broadening tax bases and improving compliance might be a way to increase the tax collected from this group by limiting the scope for avoidance. The equity and efficiency case for increasing the overall progressivity of tax systems is supported by recent initiatives to enhance international cooperation in tax administration (e.g. automatic information exchange).\nFinally, taxes and cash transfers are not the only policies that reduce inequality in OECD countries. A comprehensive strategy for tackling inequality requires policies that promote greater equality in market incomes (i.e. incomes before taxes and transfers), such as providing access to high-quality educational opportunities from early childhood to adult training, healthcare and jobs, especially to those facing disadvantages.\nCausa, O. , J.

It\u2019s nothing more than fancied-up hamburger.\u201d\nI don\u2019t remember what we ordered, but I do remember that our seats were right behind home plate and that the Sox dropped a double-header to the Orioles. But later on in life I DID have the Salisbury Steak somewhere, and it WAS fancied-up hamburger, and I actually LIKED IT.\nIt never became one of my regular menu items. In fact, I can\u2019t remember ever making it until last night. Down here in Panama beef is grass-raised and the meat, while tastier, I think, than feed lot beef, is tougher than what we\u2019re used to in the States. A LOT tougher. So, I use ground beef most of the time in lieu of the tougher cuts here that require lots and lots of braising time to make it soft enough to chew. I make a mean spaghetti sauce and a pretty good meat loaf, hamburger stroganoff and, of course, just plain hamburger patties. Yesterday, for some unknown reason, I thought of Salisbury Steaks so I went online and there were hundreds of recipes to choose from. Most required mushrooms in the gravy and while I often have mushrooms either in the fridge or several cans of them, I had none last night. Then there was a recipe with an onion gravy. I had onions. So I made that recipe and it was DELICIOUS. I will definitely be cooking this again. The recipe says \u201cfour servings\u201d but it\u2019s SO GOOD that while there are four patties you\u2019re only going to feed two people with it (or one person and a great left-over meal the next day).\nhttp://www.tasteofsouthern.com/salisbury-steak-recipe/\nActually I won TWO drawings when I was in the eight grade, and I\u2019ll let you in on this one because the statute of limitations have long expired:\nIn the winter when I plodded along on my paper route, cursing my ancestors who thought living in New England was a great place to be rather than in some sunny clime where coconut palms prevailed, I had a couple of places I\u2019d stop in along the way to warm up. The first was Fuller\u2019s Package Store, about a third of the way through the route. Of course I couldn\u2019t partake of most of their stock, but they understood the need for me to thaw out.\nThe second place I used to stop to warm up was on the homeward leg of my route, Snow\u2019s Hardware store in the center of town (Orleans, Mass., out on the elbow of Cape Cod and in the winter time no matter which the direction the wind is blowing from it\u2019s coming off the water making it raw and bone-penetratingly cold). That year every single one of the Christmas presents I gave had been lovingly shop lifted from my thawing out visits to Snows. More than that, every time I\u2019d go into Snow\u2019s, that is daily since the Cape Cod Standard-Times (as it was then called) was a daily afternoon paper, I\u2019d fill out an entry form for their Christmas drawing and drop it in the slotted box on my way out the door.\nOn the day before Christmas Eve I got a call from Snow\u2019s saying I\u2019d WON third prize in the drawing\u2026a Handy Hannah electric knife sharpener!

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Construction and Maintenance \u00bb How to dispose of waste during a construction project\nHow to dispose of waste during a construction project\nDue to the large quantity of materials that are involved in any construction project, it is inevitable that a significant amount of waste and unwanted material will be left over that must be disposed of in some manner. As well as this, it is important to have a clear and orderly building site not only to help you maintain order but also for health and safety reasons. This is why you will need a place to dispose of your waste during your project, as well as an efficient way to completely remove it from the site. For this reason, skip hire in Oxford has become incredibly popular not only with professional building companies but also with homeowners doing small DIY projects and renovations to their home. There is little worse than having huge piles of rubbish and waste around, and this can severely slow down your project as well as pose a risk to your safety. Having a secure and efficient place to dispose of all your waste is highly valuable for any construction project, and also helps you at the end when the time comes to completely remove all the waste from the building site. Continue reading below to learn more about how hiring a skip can help you immensely during construction projects no matter how big or small.\nKeeping your building site clear during construction is vital\nHaving large amounts of waste and material on your building site can not only slow the entire process down, but it can also pose a risk to your safety. Keeping your site clear and orderly helps you to conduct your project seamlessly and without any obstacles. Having to walk over mountains of waste is something that no one wants \u2013 skip hire in Oxford allows you to keep your site clean and free of any obstacles.\nSkips make the end cleaning process much more easy\nOnce your building project is finished you need a way to quickly remove all the waste from the building site. If you have gradually been clearing the site and using the skip, then most of the waste you need removed will already have been cleared and put in the skip, leaving you with less to worry about.",

        "raw_content": "Just Because I'm Not at Church...\nAccording to The Harris Poll from back in December, 23% of U.S. adults consider themselves to be very religious (not just run-of-the-mill religious, but very religious) and 15% say not at all \u2013 and everyone else falls somewhere in between.\nAnd, this hasn\u2019t changed significantly over the past year, so at least there is something that remains untouched by our crash-and-burn economy.\nBut despite our viewpoint that we are a very or somewhat religious people (so say 68% of us), only about 4 in 10 U.S. adults say they attend religious services at least once per month (27% go every week or more often). So, either our actions belie our words \u2013 or we are finding other non-traditional places to pray. Probably both.\nThe majority of the U.S. also believes that most (if not all) of the Old and New Testaments represent the strict \u201cword of God\u201d (55% and 54% respectively). Whereas, only a minority say the same about the Koran (9%), the Book of Mormon (10%) and the Torah (26% - uh, hello, people, this is a subset of the Old Testament that 54% of you said was the word of God above).\nI realize this approximates the demographic composition of our country\u2026 and point of fact, the percentages for the Torah, Koran, and Book of Mormon above are actually higher than the respective incidences of Jews, Muslims and Mormons in the U.S., so there are several folks \u2013 but not many \u2013 who believe that other religious work (besides that of the religion they subscribe to) can stand for the word of God. But these folks are few and far between\u2026\nSo, if we are a generally religious (though not necessarily devout) country and the majority of us accept only our \u201cbooks\u201d as divine, this has potentially profound implications for how we view the world \u2013 and how the world views us. And, this insularity may impede our chance of mediating peace in regions where the religious viewpoint is vastly different than our own\u2026 if (and this is a big if)\u2026. we elect leaders who we believe share our point of view and we want our popular opinion on religion to shape our foreign policy.\nWhat are your thoughts? Do you believe that religion is the basis for most of our international conflicts \u2013 or just getting the blame for other land, economic and lifestyle disputes? And if we historically \u201crequire\u201d our president to be a Christian, can and do we expect that he will separate his personal self from his professional self (and promote a religion-free foreign policy)?\nNearly one-third of U.S. adults (32%) believe the Bible is the actual word of God to be taken literally word for word.--- commissioned by GLAAD and conducted by telephone between November 13 and 17, 2008 among 2,008 U.S. adults\nPosted at 09:39 AM in Religion, Science | Permalink | Comments (0)\nEvolution - Rumor or Fact?\nAll signs at Harris suggest I should back away slowly from this next post because behind the scenes, we are agreeing to disagree on the interpretation. So, I begin the post today by saying I look forward to your thoughts either in the comments or privately via email\u2026\nAccording to the results of a new BBC World News America/Harris Poll, 45% of adults say they believe humans were created directly by God\u2026 and only 29% say humans evolved from other species.\nBut before drawing a conclusion from that stat, hold up because\u2026 53% say they believe Charles Darwin\u2019s theory that \u201cplants, animals and other human beings have evolved over time\u201d. And when asked outright in December, \u201cdo you believe in evolution?\u201d, 47% say yes, compared to 40% for creationism.\nAnd on almost all of these questions, quite a few people openly admit that they are just \u201cnot sure\u201d.\nSo, all that appears to be clear is that it\u2019s not all that clear to us \u2013 either many people don\u2019t understand the issue entirely\u2026 or do, but feel like there\u2019s not a straight answer.\nI might add that it is not uncommon for well-educated adults to hold consistently two seemingly inconsistent points of view. For example, polls have shown that many people support freedom of speech as in the first amendment, but also favor banning the expression of certain opinions, of which they strongly disapprove. And, the same is true for questions about the separation of church and state and other sections in the Bill Of Rights.\nBut if that\u2019s true in this case, then how do we teach our kids about the development of human beings as parents and educators? Well, 40% of U.S. adults believe that both evolution and creationism should be taught side-by-side in the school system (23% say Darwin\u2019s theory of evolution only; 17% say creationism only; and 11% say neither).\nSo now\u2026 what do you think as a parent? a teacher? a policy-maker? a citizen?\nWe are such a technology-driven society\u2026 with our iPhones and our iPods and our e-communities. But as much as science/technology have radically transformed our lives, we (including I) seem to have a love-hate \u2013 read: co-dependent \u2013 relationship with one of our core disciplines.\nWe love it when it expands our reach and level of connection with our friends, but not when that ex-boyfriend \u201cfriends\u201d us through Facebook. And, we love it when it helps us master (AKA speak eloquently at a cocktail party about) the world around us, but not when it calls into question the things we fervently believe.\nAmericans still remain unconvinced that there is a scientific explanation for everything. Most of us (and I use the term \u201cus\u201d loosely here\u2026 as a career researcher, I ordinarily choose non-fiction over fiction and The Daily Show over Lost) are still open to very un-scientific ways of thinking and are optimistic that there is some deeper meaning or mystery or magic to our world and how we live our lives now (and after we die).\nAccording to a December Harris Poll, the majority of U.S. adults say they believe in\u2026 God (80%); miracles (75%); heaven (73%); angels (71%); survival of the soul after death (68%); hell (62%); the Virgin birth (61%) and the devil (59%).\nAnd all of these significantly more than believe in Darwin\u2019s theory of evolution (47%). So, more tomorrow on the hotly contested issue of evolution vs. creationism\u2026",

The multi-layer film or sheet material comprises a layer A formed of a resin composition composed of a polypropylene-based resin and a linear low-density ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer having specified density and a layer B formed of a polypropylene-based resin or a layer formed of a resin composition of a polypropylene-based resin and a low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer. The invention also provides a laminated film or sheet material comprising a base material, e.g. plastic film, paper, aluminum foil, etc., and the above defined multi-layer film or sheet material bonded together through an intermediate layer of an adhesive in such a manner that the layer A in the multi-layer film or sheet material faces the base material.\nThe present invention relates to a multi-layer film or sheet material or, more particularly, to a multi-layer film or sheet material of high adhesive bonding strength between layers having excellent susceptibility to adhesive bonding and heat-sealability as well as excellent impact strength at low temperatures and rigidity and a laminated film or sheet material with the multi-layer film or sheet material as the sealing layer.\nAs is well known, films of polypropylene-based resins are widely used in a variety of applications by virtue of the excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, workability and the like properties thereof. The fields of application of polypropylene-based films are, however, under certain limitations due to the insufficiently high heat-sealability and adhesive bondability thereof. Accordingly, proposals have been made to blend the polypropylene-based resin with a polyethylene, polyethylene-based copolymer, thermoplastic elastomer and the like although the miscibility or compatibility of these additive polymers with polypropylene is not always sufficiently high so that several problems are unavoidable that the resultant blended resin has decreased transparency and the excellent properties such as heat resistance, rigidity and the like inherently possessed by the polypropylene-based resins are sometimes lost.\nTherefore, another proposal has been made of a coextruded composite film material composed of a polypropylene-based resin and a linear low-density ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer. Although the heat-sealability can be improved to some extent in the composite films of this type, such a composite film is defective not only in the insufficient adhesive bonding strength between layers but also in the poor adhesive bondability in lamination with a base film of different kind.\nOn the other hand, stretched films of polypropylene, polyamide, polyester and the like resins and aluminum foils are widely used as a base film for wrapping of, for example, various kinds of foods by virtue of the excellent heat resistance, moisture- and gas-impermeability and other properties but these materials are poor in the heat-sealability so that they are usually used as a component of a multi-layer film or sheet material with other heat-sealable films.\nTo describe the method for the preparation of such a multi-layer film or sheet material, the above mentioned base film and a heat-sealable film are bonded together to form a laminate by the so-called dry lamination using a polyurethane-type adhesive and the like or by the extrusion lamination using a low-density polyethylene film as the adhesive layer. When a polyethylene-based film is used as the heat-sealable film in this case, however, the excellent property of high heat resistance possessed by the base film may eventually be lost.\nAccordingly, the most widely used heat-sealable film is an nonstretched film of polypropylene in the fields where high heat resistance, mechanical strength and rigidity are essential. Nonstretched polypropylene films used as the heat-sealable film, however, are poor in the adhesive bondability so that the adhesive bonding with the molten resin of low-density polyethylene and the like or a polyurethane-based adhesive as the adhesive layer must be preceded by anchoring treatment of the surface of the nonstretched polypropylene film as the heat-sealable film in order to improve the adhesion with the adhesive layer. A problem in the anchoring treatment, however, is that, because the treatment is performed by use of an organic solvent, the solvent more or less remains unavoidably in the laminated film after bonding with the base film to cause disadvantages in respect of safety and unpleasant odor in the foods wrapped with the film due to the migration of the solvent thereto. Moreover, increase in the production costs is unavoidable in the anchoring treatment including the investment for the treatment facilities, cost of energy consumed in the step of drying and cost for the materials used in the treatment and the anchoring treatment is also undesirable in respect of the workers' health and safety as well as in environmental pollution so that improvement has been eagerly desired.\nIndeed, no heat-sealable film is available which in itself is excellent in the heat resistance, rigidity and other properties and can satisfy simultaneously the adhesive bondability to a base film or a low-density polyethylene for extrusion lamination and the heat-sealability in bag making as well as the strength of heat-sealing.\nAn object of the present invention is therefore to provide a novel multi-layer film or sheet material free from the above described problems and disadvantages in the prior art materials in various respects.\nThe extensive investigations undertaken by the inventors with the above object have led to a discovery that the difficult requirements are satisfied by a multi-layer film or sheet material comprising a layer formed of a resin composition composed of a polypropylene-based resin and a linear low-density ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer and a layer formed of a polypropylene-based resin or a layer formed of a resin composition of a polypropylene-based resin and a low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer and the present invention has been completed on this discovery.\nThus, in one embodiment of the invention, the multi-layer film or sheet material provided by the invention comprises: (A) a layer formed of a resin composition composed of a polypropylene-based resin and a linear low-density ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer having a density in the range from 0.900 to 0.950 g/cm3, which is referred to as the layer A hereinbelow; and (B) a layer formed of a polypropylene-based resin or a layer formed of a resin composition of a polypropylene-based resin and a low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer, which is referred to as the layer B hereinbelow, bonded together one on the other.\nIn another embodiment of the invention a laminated film or sheet material comprising:\n(1) a base material; and\n(2) a multi-layer film or sheet material formed of the layer A and the layer B as described in the first embodiment of the invention given above;\nadhesively bonded together one on the other with the layer A facing the base material through\n(3) a layer of an adhesive intervening therebetween, which is referred to as the layer 3 hereinbelow.\nFIGS. 1 and 2 are each a schematic cross sectional view of the laminated film or sheet material according to the invention.\nFIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of the manufacturing process of the laminated film or sheet material of the invention.\nIn the first place, detailed descriptions are given of the multi-layer film or sheet material according to the first embodiment of the invention.\nThe layer A, which is one of the component layers of the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material, is formed of a binary resin composition including a polypropylene-based resin. The type or grade of the polypropylene resin is not particularly limitative but suitable ones usually have a density in the range from 0.895 to 0.915 g/cm3 and a melt index (MI) in the range from 0.5 to 30 g/10 minutes or, preferably, from 1.0 to 20 g/10 minutes. The polypropylene-based resin used as one of the components in the layer A may be a homopolymeric polypropylene or a random or block copolymer of propylene with other \u03b1-olefins such as ethylene, butene-1, hexene-1, 4-methylpentene-1 and the like of which the content of the comonomer should preferably be 20% by weight or smaller. Particularly preferable are the random copolymers of propylene with other \u03b1-olefins of which the content of the latter is in the range from 0.5 to 20% by weight. These polypropylene-based resins can be used either singly or as a combination of two kinds or more according to need. In some cases, advantages are obtained by admixing the above exemplified polypropylene-based resin with a polypropylene modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof.\nThe other component in the resin composition for the layer A is a linear ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer which is a linear low-density ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer prepared the medium- or low-pressure process. Suitable copolymers have a density in the range from 0.900 to 0.950 g/cm3 or, preferably, from 0.900 to 0.930 g/cm3 and a melt index in the range from 0.5 to 30 g/10 minutes or, preferably, from 1 to 20 g/10 minutes. The \u03b1-olefins copolymerized with ethylene are not particularly limitative including those having from 3 to 12 carbon atoms per molecule exemplified by propylene, butene-1, pentene-1, hexene-1, octene-1, 4-methylpentene-1, decene-1, dodecene-1 and the like. The content of these copolymerized \u03b1-olefins in the copolymer is usually in the range from 2 to 20% by weight. It is of course that these ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymers can be used either singly or as a combination of two kinds or more of the copolymers differing in the density and/or melt index or differing in the kind and/or content of the copolymerized \u03b1-olefin.\nIn respect of the proportion of the two kinds of the component resins in the resin composition for the layer A, i.e. the weight ratio of the polypropylene-based resin and the linear low-density ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer having a density of 0.900 to 0.950 g/cm3, the resin composition should be composed of from 5 to 80 parts by weight of the former and from 95 to 20 parts by weight of the latter or, preferably, from 10 to 60 parts by weight of the former and from 90 to 40 parts by weight of the latter. It should be noted here that the use of the latter copolymer alone or a resin composition composed of a polypropylene-based resin and a low-density polyethylene by the high-pressure process as the material of the layer A is absolutely undesirable because no improvements can be obtained in the adhesive bond-ability and heat-sealability as the object of the invention in such a case and peeling may sometimes take place between the layers of the multi-layer film or sheet material. Furthermore, the resin composition composed of a polypropylene-based resin and a high-pressure process polyethylene is practically undesirable with poor transparency of the film shaped thereof due to the low miscibility or compatibility of the resins.\nIn the next place, the layer B as the other component layer of the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material is formed of a polypropylene-based resin alone or a resin composition composed of a polypropylene-based resin and a low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer. The polypropylene-based resin used here is selected from the same class of the resin as the polypropylene-based resin used in the layer A. The polypropylene-based resin can be either the same as or different from that used in the layer A.\nThe layer B may be formed of a single polypropylene-based resin alone but use of a resin composition composed of a polypropylene-based resin and a low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer is more preferable when a multi-layer film or sheet material having further improved heat-sealability is desired.\nThe low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer used in combination with the polypropylene-based resin should have a density in the range from 0.850 to 0.900 g/cm3 or, preferably, from 0.860 to 0.890 g/cm3, a melt index in the range from 0.01 to 50 g/10 minutes or, preferably, from 0.05 to 20 g/10 minutes and a degree of crystallinity in the range up to 30% or, preferably, up to 25%. When these values of the parameters are not satisfied by the copolymeric resin, the resultant multi-layer film or sheet material is less acceptable in respects of the heat-sealability, moldability, rigidity and other properties.\nThe low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer here implied is a copolymer mainly composed of ethylene or propylene as the monomeric component copolymerized with other \u03b1-olefins. The \u03b1-olefins to be copolymerized with ethylene or propylene are not particularly limitative including ethylene, propylene, butene-1, pentene-1, hexene-1, octene-1, 4-methylpentene-1, decene-1, dodecene-1 and the like. Beside ethylene or propylene and the above mentioned \u03b1-olefins, the copolymer may comprise other types of monomeric constituents introduced by the copolymerization with monomers copolymerizable therewith such as non-conjugated dienic monomers, e.g. 1,4-hexadiene, dicyclopentadiene, 5-methyl-2-norbornane and the like, and conjugated dienic monomers, e.g. butadiene, isoprene and the like. Particularly preferable in the present invention are the copolymers composed of ethylene or propylene and other \u03b1-olefins and copolymers thereof with copolymerizable dienic monomers of which the content of the \u03b1-olefins including ethylene and propylene is at least 80% by moles and the content of the \u03b1-olefins other than ethylene and propylene is in the range from 4 to 50% by moles or, preferably, from 5 to 40% by moles.\nExemplary of the suitable low-crystallinity copolymer of \u03b1-olefins are ethylene propylene copolymer, propylene ethylene copolymer, ethylene butene-1 copolymer, ethylene propylene 1,4-hexadiene copolymer, ethylene propylene 5-ethylidene-2-norbornane copolymer and the like. It is of course that these low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymers can be used either singly or as a combination of two kinds or more of those having different values of the density, melt index and degree of crystallinity or those prepared with different kinds of \u03b1-olefins.\nWhen the layer B of the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material is formed of a resin composition of a polypropylene-based resin and a low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer, the resin composition should be composed of from 50 to 99 parts by weight of the former and from 50 to 1 part by weight of the latter or, preferably, from 70 to 95 parts by weight of the former and from 30 to 5 parts by weight of the latter.\nThe multi-layer film or sheet material of the invention is usually prepared by the method of co-extrusion molding or extrusion lamination though not particularly limited thereto. The method of co-extrusion molding is preferred and the T-die co-extrusion molding using a flat die and the inflation method using a circular die are satisfactory.\nThe layer B in the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material may be a unitary layer or a duplex layer in itself provided that the layer is formed of a polypropylene-based resin or a resin composition of a polypropylene-based resin and a low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer. The polypropylene-based resin used in this case includes homopolymers and random or block copolymers of propylene. When the layer B is a duplex layer formed of two unit layers, a preferable structure of the duplex layer is that the unit layer at the inside, i.e. the side facing the layer A, is formed of a homopolymeric polypropylene resin and the unit layer at the outside is formed of a random or block copolymer of propylene or a resin composition comprising the above mentioned low-crystallinity \u03b1-olefin copolymer. The thickness ratio of the inside layer, i.e. the interlayer of the layer B, to the outside layer is usually in the range from 1:1 to 20:1 or, preferably, from 2:1 to 10:1 in order to further increase the rigidity and mechanical strength retaining the heat-sealability.\nThe multi-layered film or sheet material of the invention is basically a binary- or plural-layered material comprising the above described layers A and B. It is optional, however, according to need to provide an intermediate layer formed of a different thermoplastic resin therebetween. As the thermoplastic resin used in this case are named low-density polyethylenes by the high pressure process, linear low-density ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer by the medium or low pressure process, high-density polyethylenes, poly(butene-1), poly(4-methylpentene-1), ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and the like resins other than the polypropylene-based resins, polyvinyl chloride resins, polyvinylidene chloride resins, saponified ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, polyester resins, polyamide resins, polycarbonate resins and others.\nThe thickness of the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material is not particularly limitative ranging from very thin film-like ones to sheet-like ones having a thickness of 2 mm or larger. The thickness of each of the layers A and B is also not particularly limitative although it is preferable that, assuming that the multi-layer film or sheet material is film-like, the thickness of the layer A is in the range from 1 to 30 \u03bcm or, more preferably, from 1 to 20 \u03bcm and the thickness of the layer B is in the range from 1 to 100 \u03bcm or, more preferably, from 1 to 50 \u03bcm. When an intermediate layer is provided between the layers A and B so that the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material is composed of three of more layers, the thickness of the intermediate layer should be in the range from 3 to 150 \u03bcm or, preferably, from 5 to 100 \u03bcm.\nWhen the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material is used in the preparation of a laminated film with a low-density polyethylene and the like as the adhesive layer, lamination of the material is performed on the layer A of the multi-layer film or sheet material. When bags are prepared of the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material, heat-sealing is performed on the layers B so that the layer B faces the inside of the bag.\nThe inventive multi-layer film or sheet material is usually used as a covered container or receptacle shaped by thermal molding. In this case, good heat-sealing can be obtained with the film material of the covering when the layer A faces inside of the container. This is to meet the requirement of the easy peelability for the covering of the container.\nThe resins or resin compositions of which the layers A and B of the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material are formed may be formulated according to need with a variety of additives known in the art of plastics including various kinds of stabilizers, e.g. heat stabilizers, antioxidants and anti-weathering agents, ultraviolet absorbers, anti-static agents, anti-blocking agents, slipperiness improvers, anti-fogging agents, peroxide decomposers, basicity aids, nuclei-forming agents, plasticizers, lubricants, flame retardancy improvers, coloring agents, e.g. pigments and dyes, inorganic fillers, e.g. silica, talc and kaolin, and others. It is also optional that the resin or resin composition is admixed with other kinds of resins or thermoplastic elastomers provided no substantial adverse effects are caused thereby.\nAs is understood from the detailed description given above, the multi-layer film or sheet material of the invention has very high sealability in respects of the adhesive bondability, low-temperature sealability and strength of sealing. The material is also excellent in the workability and adhesive bonding strength between layers and is highly cold-resistant as is shown by the high impact strength at low temperatures. In the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material, in short, many of the defective points in the polypropylene-based resins have been successfully dissolved by retaining the excellent properties inherent to the polypropylene-based resins such as heat resistance, mechanical strength and rigidity.\nAccordingly, the application of the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material is not limited to wrapping of various articles as a double-layered film but it can be used in the preparation of a continuous length film web composed of three or more layers with one or more layers of other resins by utilizing the adhesive bondability and sealability of the layer A. In addition, the inventive multi-layer film or sheet material has good adaptability to lamination with excellent adhesive bondability so that a laminated film or sheet can be prepared thereof with a low-density polyethylene and the like as the adhesive layer even by omitting the anchoring treatment. Therefore, the multi-layer film or sheet material of the invention has wide applicability in various fields including the applications as a wrapping film of foods and other articles, material for shaping of containers and covering thereof by thermal molding and films of sealing layer in heat-resistant base films and the like.\nIn the following, detailed descriptions are given of the second embodiment of the present invention.\nThe second embodiment of the invention provides a laminated film or sheet material comprising (1) a base material and (2) a multi-layer film or sheet material composed of the layers A and B described in the above in detail adhesively bonded together one on the other through (3) a layer 3 of an adhesive intervening between the base material and the multi-layer film or sheet material, in which the layer A of the multi-layer film or sheet material faces the base material.\nThe base material in the above mentioned laminated film or sheet material of the invention can be a film or sheet of a synthetic resin, paper, cellophane or aluminum foil. The synthetic resin is exemplified by high-density polyethylenes, medium- or low-density polyethylenes, ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer, ethylene unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer, polypropylene, poly(butene-1), ionomers and the like polyolefin polymers, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile and the like vinylic polymers, nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 11 and the like polyamide resins, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate and the like polyester resins, polycarbonates, polyvinyl alcohols, ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, and others. Uniaxially or biaxially stretched films or sheets of these polymers can be used, if desired. The film or sheet can be coated with polyvinylidene chloride or may be a multi-layered one composed of two or more layers.\nThe above described base material is laminated with the multi-layer film or sheet material of the invention composed of the layers A and B described above by use of a layer 3 of an adhesive intervening therebetween in such a manner that the layer A of the multi-layer film or sheet material faces the base material.\nThe adhesive layer 3 used in this case is not particularly limitative but it should appropriately be selected according to the process for the preparation of the laminated, film or sheet material. For example, reactive adhesives such as polyester-type polyurethanes, polyether-type polyurethanes, epoxy-based ones and the like and ethylene-based polymers and others are suitable. The ethylene-based polymers here implied include low-density polyethylenes by the high pressure process, low-density ethylene \u03b1-olefin copolymer, so-called linear low-density polyethylenes, ethylene unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer, ethylene-based ionomers and the like. The low-density polyethylene resins, which may widely range from a crystalline polyethylene resin to non-crystalline polyethylene resin, should have a density in the range from 0.860 to 0.940 g/cm3 or, preferably, from 0.880 to 0.930 g/cm3. These polyethylene-based resins as well as polypropylene-based resins may be admixed with a polyolefin resin modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof such as maleic acid, maleic anhydride and the like. Further, it is optional that the adhesive is admixed with resins and rubbers of other types in such a limited amount that the performance as the adhesive layer in the invention is not substantially affected. The adhesive, layer can be formed of a mixture of two kinds or more of the adhesive resins or it can be of a layered structure formed of two kinds or more of different adhesives each forming a layer.\nThe laminated film or sheet material provided by the second embodiment of the present invention is prepared by laminating the above described base material and the multi-layer film or sheet material comprising the layers A and B by use of the adhesive layer 3 intervening therebetween in such a manner that the layer A of the multi-layer film or sheet material faces the base material.\nThough dependent on the kind of the material, it is sometimes preferable that the lamination of the base material is preceded in advance by the coating treatment of the surface with an anchor-coating agent such as polyethyleneimine compounds, organic titanium compounds, isocyanate compounds and the like according to the known procedure with an object to increase the strength of adhesive bonding.\nFIGS. 1 and 2 each illustrate a laminated film or sheet material of the invention obtained by the dry lamination method and the extrusion lamination or co-extrusion lamination method, respectively.\nFIG. 3 schematically illustrates the process for the preparation of the laminated film or sheet material of the invention by the extrusion lamination method. The multi-layer film or sheet material and the base material are each drawn out of the draw-out roll 11 for the former and the draw-out roll 12 for the latter, respectively, and the adhesive resin is extruded out of the extrusion die 13 between these two film or sheet materials. Pressing in the press roll 14 and cooling in the cooling roll 15 give the laminated film or sheet material which is continuously taken up on the winding-up roll 16. When a low-density polyethylene is used as the adhesive resin, the temperature of the resin should be kept at 250\u00b0 to 350\u00b0 C. or, preferably, 280\u00b0 to 330\u00b0 C. under a linear pressure of the press roll in the range from 2 to 30 kg/cm or, preferably, from 3 to 20 kg/cm. One of the largest characteristic features in the present invention is, in comparison with the conventional use of a sealing layer of polypropylene, that the use of a specific multi-layer film or sheet material as the sealing layer ensures to obtain a laminated film or sheet material having sufficiently high adhesive bonding strength between layers without the anchoring treatment of the film for the sealing layer. In the figure, the numerals 17 and 18 designate the tank for the anchoring treatment and the drier, respectively.\nAs is described above in detail, the anchoring treatment can be omitted in the manufacture of the laminated film or sheet material of the invention by the extrusion lamination method as a result of the use of the specific multi-layer film or sheet material having excellent heat resistance, strength and transparency approximating those of the polypropylene-based resins so that the manufacturing process can be performed inexpensively without the problems of unpleasant ordor due to organic solvents and health and safety of the workers. Further, the laminated film or sheet material of the invention has excellent strength of lamination and heat-sealability along with the features in the heat resistance, strength, rigidity, etc. so that wide applicability can be expected of the material as a wrapping material, e.g. bags for wrapping, thermally molded containers and coverings of containers, of various kinds of articles such as foods and the like.\nIn the following, the present invention is described in more detail by way of examples although the present invention is not limited by these examples by all means provided that the scope of the invention is not affected.\nUsing a random-polymerized polypropylene containing 4% by weight of ethylene and having a density of 0.90 g/cm3 and a melt index of 7 g/10 minutes for the layer B and a resin composition composed of 40 parts by weight of the same polypropylene as above and 60 parts by weight of an ethylene octene-1 copolymer having a density of 0.923 g/cm3 and a melt index of 4 g/10 minutes for the layer A, a double-layered film formed of the layers B and A was prepared by extruding the above described resin and resin composition with a 65 mm-diameter extruder at a resin temperature of 250\u00b0 C. and a 50 mm-diameter extruder at a resin temperature of 240\u00b0 C., respectively, and supplying to a multi-manifold double-layer T-die having a width of 800 mm and kept at a die temperature of 270\u00b0/250\u00b0 C. to be extruded therefrom followed by cooling at a chill roll and winding up in a roll.\nThe thickness of the thus prepared double-layered film was 25 \u03bcm as formed of the polypropylene layer of 23 \u03bcm thick and the layer of the resin composition of 2 \u03bcm thick. Physical properties of this film are shown in Table 1 below.\nThis double-layered film was then laminated with a film of a low-density polyethylene by the high-pressure process having a thickness of 180 \u03bcm and a density of 0.92 g/cm3 on the layer A by melt-bonding at 150\u00b0 C. under a pressure of 0.4 kg/cm2. The adhesive bonding strength of this laminated film was 1800 g/15 mm. No peeling was noted in the double-layered film.\nThe same random-polymerized polypropylene as used in Example 1 (referred to as I hereinbelow), a homopolymeric polypropylene having a density of 0.91 g/cm3 and a melt index of 10 g/10 minutes for the layer B (referred to as II hereinbelow) and a resin composition composed of the same random-polymerized polypropylene as above and an ethylene octene-1 copolymer in a proportion shown in Table 2 below, in which the polypropylene and the copolymer are shown by the symbols PP and LLDPE, respectively, for the layer A (referred to as III hereinbelow) were each supplied to and extruded by a 50 mm-diameter extruder at a resin temperature of 240\u00b0 C., a 65 mm-diameter extruder at a resin temperature of 250\u00b0 C. and a 50 mm-diameter extruder at a resin temperature of 240\u00b0 C., respectively followed by cooling in a chill roll and winding-up in a roll to give a triple-layered film of 25 \u03bcm thick. The ratio of the thickness of the layers was I:II:III=2:12:1. The physical properties of these films are shown in Table 1 and the adhesive bonding strength of the films determined in the same manner as in Example 1 is shown in Table 2 for each of the films.\nA triple-layered film was prepared in substantially the same manner as in Example 2 except that the layer (III), i.e. the layer A, was formed of the ethylene octene-1 copolymer alone. The adhesive bonding strength of the thus prepared film was 300 g/15 mm and peeling was found between the layers of the film.\nA triple-layered film was prepared in substantially the same manner as in Example 2 except that the layer (III), i.e. the layer A, was formed of a resin composition composed of 40 parts by weight of a random-polymerized polypropylene and 60 parts by weight of a low-density polyethylene by the high-pressure process having a density of 0.934 g/cm3 and a melt index of 3 g/10 minutes. The thus prepared film had an adhesive bonding strength of only 180 g/15 mm and peeling was found between the layers of the film.\nA resin composition A composed of 40 parts by weight of a random polypropylene containing 4% by weight of ethylene and having a density of 0.90 g/cm3 and a melt index of 7 g/10 minutes and 60 parts by weight of an ethylene octene-1 copolymer containing 8% by weight of octene-1 and having a density of 0.923 g/cm3 and a melt index of 4 g/10 minutes and a resin composition B composed of 85 parts by weight of the same random polypropylene as above and 15 parts by weight of a low-crystallinity ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPR) containing 23% by weight of propylene and having a density of 0.86 g/cm3, a melt index of 3.6 g/10 minutes, a degree of crystallization of 17% and a Mooney viscosity of ML1+4 (100\u00b0 C.) 20 were each melted and kneaded by use of a 50 mm-diameter extruder at a resin temperature of 240\u00b0 C. and a 65 mm-diameter extruder at a resin temperature of 250\u00b0 C., respectively and supplied to a multi-manifold double-layer T-die having a die width of 800 mm and kept at 250\u00b0 C. to be extruded therefrom followed by cooling in a chill roll and winding up in a roll to give a double-layered film composed of the layer A formed of the above described resin composition A and the layer B formed of the above described resin composition B. The thickness of this double-layered film was 25 \u03bcm and the thickness ratio of the layer A to the layer B was 1:5. The physical properties of this film are shown in Table 1.\nThe double-layered film thus prepared was then laminated by melt-bonding on the layer A with a 180 \u03bcm thick film of a low-density polyethylene by the high-pressure process having a density of 0.92 g/cm3 at 150\u00b0 C. under a pressure of 0.4 kg/cm2. The adhesive bonding strength in this laminated film was 1800 g/15 mm and no peeling was found between the layers of the film. The sealing temperature between two layers B was 124\u00b0 C. The sealing temperature here implied is such a temperature that the peeling resistance between two films bonded together at the temperature by pressing for 1 second under a pressure of 2 kg/cm2 is 300 g/25 mm.\nA multi-layered film was prepared in substantially the same manner as in Example 5 except that the resin composition B was replaced with another resin composition composed of 85 parts by weight of the same random polypropylene as used in Example 5 and 15 parts by weight of a low-density polyethylene having a density of 0.930 g/cm3 and a melt index of 3 g/10 minutes. The sealing temperature between the layers formed of the above described resin composition in place of the resin composition B was 138\u00b0 C. to be apparently higher than in Example 5. Further, the transparency of the thus obtained film was very low due to the poor miscibility of the component resins.\nA multi-layered film was prepared in substantially the same manner as in Example 5 except that the resin composition B used in Example 5 was replaced with another resin composition composed of 85 parts by weight of the same random polypropylene as used in Example 5 and 15 parts by weight of a low-crystallinity ethylene butene-1 copolymer having a density of 0.88 g/cm3, a melt index of 3 g/10 minutes and a degree of crystallinity of 24%. The physical properties of this multi-layered film are shown in Table 1. The sealing temperature of this film was 125\u00b0 C.\nIn Example 7, a triple-layered film was prepared by extruding a homopolymeric polypropylene having a density of 0.91 g/cm3 and a melt index of 10 g/10 minutes at a resin temperature of 240\u00b0 C. as an intermediate layer between the same layers A and B as in Example 5. The thus obtained triple-layered film was 25 \u03bcm and the thickness ratio of the layer A:intermediate layer:layer B was 1:5:1. The physical properties of this triple-layered film are shown in Table 1. The sealing temperature between two layers B of the thus obtained triple-layered film was 124\u00b0 C.\nFurther, triple-layered films were prepared in Examples 8 and 9 each by use of a resin composition composed of 92% by weight of the random polypropylene and 8% by weight of the ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPR) or 94% by weight of the random polypropylene and 6% by weight of the EPR, respectively, for the layer B. The physical properties of these triple-layered films are also shown in Table 1. The sealing temperatures of these films between the layers B were 129\u00b0 C. and 133\u00b0 C. for the films prepared in Examples 8 and 9, respectively.\nA biaxially stretched polypropylene film having a thickness of 30 \u03bcm was drawn out of a rool as a base material and coated on one surface with a polyethyleneimine-type anchor coating agent in a coating amount of 2.0 to 2.5 g/m2 as solid followed by drying. On the other hand, the double-layered film prepared in Example 1 was drawn out of another roll to run in parallel with the above mentioned base material with the layer A formed of the resin composition facing the base material. Between these two films, a low-density polyethylene by the high-pressure process having a density of 0.920 g/cm3 and a melt index of 7 g/10 minutes was extruded at a resin temperature of 300\u00b0 C. as the layer C having a thickness of 15 \u03bcm under the extrusion conditions of an air gap of 80 mm and a die width of 500 mm and the base material and the double-layered film were laminated under a linear roll pressure of about 4 kg/cm sandwiching the layer C to give a laminated film of a thickness 70 \u03bcm.\nThe lamination strength of the thus prepared laminated film was more than 1000 g/15 mm exhibiting material bursting and no peeling between layers was found.\nA laminated film having a thickness of 70 \u03bcm was prepared in substantially the same manner as in Example 10 except that the double-layered film used in Example 10 was replaced with the triple-layered film obtained in Example 2.\nThe lamination strength of the thus prepared laminated film was more than 1000 g/15 mm exhibiting material bursting and no peeling was found between the layers thereof.

Since Thich Nhat Hanh did not speak their language, he simply hugged them and they hugged him back.\nAt one point, however, he suddenly remembered an ancient Buddhist prayer: \u2018I take refuge in Buddha\u2019. He began singing it, and four of the children joined in. Thich Nhat Hanh made a sign to the other two children who were not singing. They smiled, put their hands together and said in Pali: \u2018I take refuge in the Virgin Mary.\u2019\nThe sound of the prayer was the same. On that beach, on that afternoon, Thich Nhat Nanh says that he found a harmony and serenity he had rarely experienced before.",

        "raw_content": "Posted by Lindsey Kasch on March 12, 2017 February 13, 2018\nI want to share a poem I wrote a while back when I was going through a really hard time in my life. I was going through a devastating breakup with someone I deeply loved and cared for. Someone who I spent 11 years of my life with. It had been about six months since we broke up. It was hard. I was doing the work. I was trying to focus on myself. I started talking to a therapist. I spent time with friends and family. I did a lot of yoga. I went on a lot of hikes. I learned to play the ukulele. I read endless amounts of self-help books and blogs. I wrote in my journal. Some days were definitely easier than others, but I tried my best to keep moving forward. Some days it felt like I would never be able to move past it. I was certain I would never be able to escape the pain. The heavy absence. I knew all I could do was take life one day, one moment, one breath at a time.\nThe night I wrote the poem I had plans to go out. I didn\u2019t feel well at all, so I decided to stay home. I was laying in bed and all of the sudden felt the need to write. These words are what came out. This was a break through moment for me. Almost like an out-of-body experience. It was healing in the most unexpected way. This is why I love writing. This is why I love art! It can heal us in ways that nothing else can. I wanted to share this poem again because this is what it\u2019s all about. Life. Going through the ups and downs, learning as you go. Putting one foot in front of the other. Taking life one breath, one moment at a time. Honoring your heart and soul. Finding inspiration (and even better, YOURSELF) in the most painful and difficult situations. Learning to love and honor yourself isn\u2019t easy, but it\u2019s in these situations that you can really discover your worth and what you\u2019re capable of. Do the work. Trust the process. Take care of yourself. Only you know what you need. Be grateful for even the darkest of times. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and I promise you, the sun WILL rise. Never give up! \u2728\ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffc\ud83d\udc97\nIt was my everything.\nThe love, the pain.\nYour smile, your voice. Your hands, your touch.\nThe loneliness. The closeness.\nThe heart and soul connection.\nThe constant disconnect.\nI loved you with everything I was.\nI loved you with everything I wasn\u2019t.\nI loved you so much that I started to disappear.\nWho I was didn\u2019t matter.\nI wanted to be seen.\nI wanted to be loved.\nI wanted to be enough.\nWith you, I was alone.\nMy thoughts, my feelings.\nMy heart. My soul.\nI was too much.\nI felt myself growing and changing.\nI held back.\nI put you first.\nI didn\u2019t matter.\nMy feelings didn\u2019t matter.\nI abandoned me, so I could be with you.\nWe could be better.\nWe could make it work.\nI knew you loved me.\nEven though I couldn\u2019t feel it.\nIt broke my heart everyday.\nOne day\u2026my heart broke until it became a million pieces of who we were, of who I was supposed to be.\nPieces that would prove to be impossible to put back together.\nThe harder I tried, the more pain I felt.\nAs awful as it was, the pain made me feel alive.\nThe pain made me feel like I mattered.\nLike we mattered.\nIt made us feel real.\nIt made us feel significant.\nI loved you so much.\nI wanted it to be enough.\nIsn\u2019t this how it\u2019s supposed to be?\nI know you didn\u2019t mean to hurt me.\nI didn\u2019t mean to hurt you either.\nI thought our love was enough.\nWe hurt each other over and over just by being ourselves.\nI was dying inside.\nBut I didn\u2019t love myself.\nYou were my person.\nBut I knew I needed to let you go.\nMy heart was completely broken.\nThe pain, paralyzing.\nMy breath, taken.\nHow was I supposed to survive without you?\nI know I will always love you.\nBut after years of choosing you, I finally decided to choose me.\nOne day, one moment, one breath at a time.\nMy feelings matter.\n~lrk~\n*Photo credit \u2013 Mary Bazille*\nPrevious Post Wedding Singer\nNext Post Birthdays, Aging and This Amazing Thing Called Life\u2026\nmrscouly@gmail.com says:\nLindsey, I love your poem!

        "raw_content": "Discovery will help green technologies harness solar power\nA breakthrough discovery about titanium dioxide will significantly increase the efficiency of future solar devices, according to new research from scientists in our Department of Chemistry.\nPublishing findings in the journal Nature Materials, researchers have uncovered how the popular photocatalyst used in solar cells can be improved to speed up the chemical reactions required to convert the sun's rays to electricity and fuel.\nTitanium dioxide (titania) is a powder which has been used widely in photovoltaics and as the basis for self-cleaning windows since the 1970s. Despite extensive research into the substance however, little was known about how it worked or how its performance might be improved to increase the efficiency of converting sunlight. And whilst the combination of the minerals anatase and rutile in so-called 'two-phase titania' showed a much greater performance in energy generation, the underlying causes for this also remained a mystery.\nThis latest study uncovers the chemistry behind why titania is more effective in two-phases and can now be applied in the development of future solar energy devices that are more light-sensitive.\nDr Aron Walsh, from the Department of Chemistry and Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies, was part of the team that developed a new multi-scale modeling technique, based on quantum chemistry, to look into this subject.\nHe said: \"We now understand why this compound absorbs more sunlight, what happens to the electrons excited in the process, and how to apply this knowledge to design more efficient mixed-phase photocatalysts.\"\n\"This breakthrough resulted from the hard work of fifteen chemists and physicists over five locations in the UK and Ireland. It demonstrates both the predictive power of modern computational chemistry and the synergy of combining high quality theory and experiment. The next challenge for us is to develop a chemical model for the generation of hydrogen fuel from water on the surface of titania.\"\nThe recent work has been supported by the donation of Roger and Sue Whorrod to the Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies, the EU DESTINY Initial Training Network coordinated by Professor Alison Walker in the Department of Physics, and funding from the Royal Society.\nExplore further: Scientists solve titanic puzzle of popular photocatalyst\nMore information: www.nature.com/nmat/journal/va \u2026 t/full/nmat3697.html\nScientists solve titanic puzzle of popular photocatalyst\nA breakthrough in our understanding of the properties of titania (titanium dioxide) - the basis of self-cleaning window technology - has been made by scientists at UCL, uncovering a decades old misunderstanding that has clouded ...\nMicroorganisms found in salt flats could offer new path to green hydrogen fuel\n(Phys.org) \u2014A protein found in the membranes of ancient microorganisms that live in desert salt flats could offer a new way of using sunlight to generate environmentally friendly hydrogen fuel, according to a new study ...\nMimicking nature takes us closer than ever to the ultimate green fuel\nA group of scientists at the University of Oxford and York are taking their inspiration from plants to develop a solar fuel system, or 'artificial photosynthesis' system (APS) that is more efficient than the process that ...\nNew twist on old chemical process could boost energy efficiency\nChemical reactions on the surface of metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, are important for applications such as solar cells that convert the sun's energy to electricity.

        "raw_content": "With over 30 banks to choose from, opening a US bank account for a non-US citizen has never been easy. The safety and convenience features they provide is exceptional. It is a privilege that we should take advantage as non-US citizens.\nA few weeks ago, I opened a checking account with Bank of America. I was gonna go with Chase but then require a Social Security number, which I don\u2019t have. We tried to apply, but the staff at the local Social Security office said they don\u2019t give SSN to people with B1/B2 (tourist) visa. What are you going to do when they said \u201cno\u201d? Look for other options. I crossed out Chase on my list then went to the Bank of America.\nWhat are the requirements to open a checking account with Bank of America?\nBank application form\nA minimum deposit of 25USD\nCo-applicant\u2019s personal information (if applicable)\nTwo forms of identification like the following:\nPermanent Resident Card with Photo\ncredit card or debit card from another bank\nproof of residence such as a utility bill with your address\nfor business owners, ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number\u200e)\nI suggest that you maintain at least 1500USD in your checking account, so you won\u2019t have to pay the maintenance fee of 12USD per month.\nTips to consider when opening a bank account in the US:\nATM fees\u2013 make sure that you know their rate before you access the ATM. Like with Bank of America customers, it\u2019s free if you use your card with their ATM. But if you used other banks\u2019 ATM, there will be a charge of $2.50 and $5 if use outside the US.\nMobile apps\u2013 Download your bank\u2019s mobile app so it would be convenient for you to monitor your account like checking your balance, paying bills online, and tracking your transaction history.\nLarge banks\u2013 Always go with a larger institution, that means they have more branches near your house or office. You will have more access to your money, and it\u2019s going to make things easier and cheaper for you.\nFDIC-insured\u2013 Make sure that your bank is insured by the FDIC or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. They protect you against the loss of your deposits. Usually, protection is available for up to $250,000 per depositor.\nCredit score\u2013 Make sure that you have a good credit standing when opening a bank account in the US. But if it\u2019s your first time, then you don\u2019t have to worry about it. You can check your financial standing at credit.com for free.\nI was able to open my first checking account in less than 60 minutes with the help of the Bank of America\u2019s Relationship Manager. He must be really good in solving relationships, just kidding! \ud83d\ude09 I deposited $100 through the ATM using my temporary card. I got my primary card in the mail in 7-10 business days just like what they promised. It was super fast and easy.\nIf you have any questions, feel free to comment on the link below.\nYou can also find me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram",

        "raw_content": "After Kangana Ranaut, Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan as well as Anushka Sharma, here\u2019s Bollywood\u2019s gentleman Sidharth Malhotra\u2018s response over something as sensitive as nepotism. Bollywood has a very big factor called nepotism revolving around the industry. There have been many different types of reactions given out from the big-shots of our industry over the same. However here\u2019s what the \u2018Hasee Toh Phasee\u2018 actor had to say about nepotism prevailing in the industry.\n\u201cI think even if you\u2019re from a film family, eventually it\u2019s a very performance-based profession. You can\u2019t drive an audience to a theatre based on your family \u2013 either people accept you or they don\u2019t. I think I can say that after working in the industry for a few years, the accepting phase is over. Now, its the performance phase \u2013 I need to ensure that my films are getting box-office numbers and that I choose the right characters to portray, which I will be remembered for,\u201d Sid said in an interview with MW\u2019s Shweta Mehta Sen.\n\u201cThis is something every actor faces, irrespective of their background \u2013 it\u2019s more to do with our script choices than our families. We\u2019re all working hard; I don\u2019t know anyone who is taking it easy because of their background,\u201d he added.\nWell, that\u2019s quite a good opinion and thought coming in from Sidharth Malhotra. It all does come down to talent irrelevant of whether you are or are not from the industry!\nRelated Topics:Anushka Sharma, Bollywood, bollywood celebs, featured, Gossip, Kangana Ranaut, Karan Johar, nepotism, News, Shah Rukh Khan, Sidharth Malhotra\nUpdate On Irrfan Khan\u2019s Health, He Is Stronger Than Ever Even As He Faces Unpredictable Days Ahead!",

        "raw_content": "Luv Ranjan, who has directed films like Pyar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, has been accused of se*xual misconduct!\nAnother shocking #MeToo story has come up as the filmmaker Luv Ranjan has been accused of se*ual misconduct. An actress has alleged that the director, who is famous for films like Pyar Ka Punchnama and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, had asked her to strip during an audition.\nTalking to Mid Day, she said, \u201cThe director, Luv Ranjan, and the cinematographer were sitting in a room and calling the girls in one by one. The girl who went in before me came out with an ashen look and seemed uncomfortable. She hurriedly left. Then I went in. The room was properly lit for an audition and there was a proper camera set up, etc. They asked me to give an introduction, which was totally normal, totally legitimate.\u201d\nThe director told her there was a kissing scene and bikini scene in the movie and asked if she was fine with that, to which she said yes. He said he wanted to see what she would look like in a bikini.\nShe added on saying, \u201cLuv asked me to strip down to my bra and panties. He said he wanted to see my body so he could check if I needed to lose weight. He said they were not recording anything and the cinematographer would also leave the room, so I needn\u2019t worry. After that, it all gets blurry. My heart was pounding and I rushed out saying I had to leave, and wasn\u2019t comfortable with it. I went home and tried to forget about it.\u201d\nShe narrated how Luv told her that she needs to draw from her experiences and when she can\u2019t, he need to know her so well, that he can help her. \u201cHe asked me about my schooling and family, so I relaxed. Then he asked me if I had a boyfriend, to which I said yes. Then he asked, \u201cAre you a virgin?\u201d I was shocked. He said, \u201cArrey, we can talk like this, we\u2019re adults.\u201d,\u201d added the actress.\nHe even asked her if she used condoms and if she masturbates. \u201cBy then, I was scared and asked if I could leave. He said I shouldn\u2019t misunderstand him, and called the three guys into the room and asked them, \u201cDo you trust me enough as a director, that if I were to ask you to drop your pants, you would?\u201d\nHowever, when contacted by the tabloid, the filmmaker has denied all such allegations on him!\nRelated Topics:#metoo, Bollywood, Bollywood Gossip, bollywood news, Controversy, featured, Luv Ranjan, Me too movement, pyar ka punchnama, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety",

Moonves is expected to walk away with an exit package valued upwards of &dollar;100 million. CBS COO Joe Ianniello would serve as Moonves\u2019 interim replacement. The harassment allegations against Moonves first came to light in July. In a New Yorker story by Rowan Farrow, six women \u2014 including actress Ileana Douglas \u2014 accused Moonves of touching and kissing them without their consent.\nFor all the years it has been America\u2019s most-watched network, CBS\u2019 secret weapon was always recognized in the industry to be the stability of core management under the leadership of Leslie Moonves.\nThe loyalty of Team Moonves, populated with many execs who had been with him since the Lorimar Television days in the 1980s and early \u201890s, was the envy of CBS\u2019 Big Four rivals. ABC, NBC and Fox have had revolving doors of executives in the 24 years that Moonves has steered CBS.\nBut a different picture of Moonves \u2014 who rose from entertainment president in 1995 to corporate CEO in 2006 \u2014 is emerging now that he has been forced out on under a cloud of scandal and a cascade of sexual assault and misconduct allegations. Company insiders, current and former employees, describe an atmosphere of fear in which executives were on often edge around Moonves. Sources say the bonding among the core team came in part from banding together to strategize on how to best manage Moonves: One former executive described him as serving, at times, as a \u201ccommon enemy\u201d who helped bring them together.\nOne thing that allies and critics of Les Moonves, the CEO and chairman of CBS, agree on is that he tends to remember who his enemies are, and exact revenge on them on his terms. From actors to entertainment lawyers, people who ended up on the wrong side of Moonves would often become his target for years after they upset him. Although Moonves is embattled and likely to be ousted from CBS amid sexual harassment allegations (reportedly with a significant severance payment) following an investigation by The New Yorker, many women and men whom I contacted about Moonves\u2019 conduct were reluctant to speak to me, even when I told them they could speak off the record.\nThe company was known to have a familial environment, particularly during the 1998-2015 period when Nancy Tellem and Nina Tassler led the Los Angeles-based entertainment division. Tellem and Tassler declined to comment for this story.\nBut while everyone at CBS knew about his volatility, the details about sexual assault in the New Yorker exposes published July 27 and Sept. 9 by investigative reporter Ronan Farrow were \u201cstomach-churning\u201d to many of those who worked closely with Moonves. The violent behavior alleged by some of the women who spoke to Farrow was alarming and hard to reconcile with the charismatic, if quick-tempered, leader they knew. A source with knowledge of the situation said Moonves has staunchly denied the allegation by former TV executive Phyllis Golden-Gottlieb, reported in Farrow\u2019s Sept. 9 story, that he threw her against a wall when they worked together at Lorimar Television in the mid-1980s.\nLes Moonves Faces New Misconduct Accusations From 6 Women\nAs Les Moonves is in talks to exit CBS, six more women have accused him of sexual misconduct, The New Yorker reported Sunday. The magazine, which first reported on accusations of misconduct against the CBS CEO, said that six additional women are now accusing him \"of sexual harassment or assault in incidents that took place between the nineteen-eighties and the early aughts.\"Several of the women who spoke to Farrow also voiced their frustration at news reports that Moonves might receive an exit package of &dollar;100 million upon his departure from CBS. Writer Jessica Pallington, who claims Moonves coerced her into performing oral sex on him while working as his assistant two decadse ago, called such a package \"completely disgusting.\" \"He should take all that money and give it to an organization that helps survivors of sexual abuse,\" she said.\nLegal and PR representatives for Moonves did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story. On Sept. 9, Moonves issued a statement asserting: \u201cUntrue allegations from decades ago are now being made against me that are not consistent with who I am.\u201d He also said he was \u201cdeeply saddened\u201d to be leaving CBS and the team he assembled. \u201cThe best part of this journey has been working alongside the dedicated and talented people in this company,\u201d he said.\nFarrow\u2019s reports have prompted soul-searching among current and former executives. There\u2019s been a lot of communication among past and present CBS employees as the Moonves scandal went nuclear during the weekend, leading to his Sept. 9 ouster, hours after Farrow\u2019s second report was published. Current and former employees have been ruefully comparing notes and questioning whether there were warning signs that should have raised alarms. There is also a swelling anger that the reports of Moonves\u2019 behavior have cast a dark cloud across the whole of CBS. \u201cIt\u2019s infuriating to think that people think that this is what the culture of CBS is,\u201d said a senior L.A.-based executive. \u201cIt\u2019s not. This is not going on behind every other door here. It\u2019s just not.\u201d\nCBS Corp has reached a deal to settle litigation over the control of the company with its controlling shareholder Shari Redstone and National Amusements Inc in a deal expected to be announced as early as before the markets open on Monday, sources familiar with the discussions said.Load Error\nMoonves\u2019 core team collaborated in the formidable job of running the network, and also on the best ways to handle a temperamental boss. The higher up executives climbed and the longer they worked with him, the more staffers were exposed to the darker side of his forceful personality. His eruptions sometimes got so loud and intense as to frighten the recipient, multiple sources said. \u201cScary screaming,\u201d one described. His mood swings made the already high-stakes atmosphere of running a television network even more fraught. \u201cYou would just be fearful of what kind of Les you would get,\u201d said another CBS veteran.\nHis toughest critics do not disparage his programming instincts or business acumen. \u201cHe has incredible instincts on shows and on deals,\u201d said a longtime colleague of Moonves. But there was often frustration that Moonves received so much of the credit for CBS\u2019 successes, in programming and in business. Insiders credit the company\u2019s sterling reputation on Wall Street largely to the heavy lifting done by Joe Ianniello, the former chief financial officer and chief operating officer, who was tapped as acting president-CEO on the heels of Moonves\u2019 forced resignation on Sept. 9.\nLes Moonves Stands To Receive &dollar;120 Million If He\u2019s Not Fired For Cause\nLes Moonves stands to collect up to &dollar;120 million if the independent investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct fails to turn up information that would give the directors reason to fire him, according to new details of his separation agreement filed this morning with the SEC. If the law firms probing the allegations do find evidence of misconduct, Moonves walks away with nothing. The CBS board of directors will make a determination about whether the media company has grounds to terminate its former CEO within 30 days of investigators issuing their final report.\nMoonves gave executives he believed in big opportunities to advance their careers. But he would \u201ctorture\u201d them at the same time, in the words of one CBS alumnus. Executives in programming and marketing-related jobs had to be accustomed to incessant micro-managing, along with second guessing, threats of being fired, and ultimatums about what the failure of a show or a business venture would mean for a person\u2019s career at the company.\nIt was a corporate hazing that toughened the hide of every executive in Moonves\u2019 direct orbit. It also created a kind of Stockholm syndrome environment for senior executives. Multiple sources described the process of deciding to quit as difficult and one that had to be carefully managed with Moonves, lest he feel it was a snub. He was known to be vindictive to those he felt had crossed him.\nAs tough as he was, Moonves could be generous with his time and rewards for those who delivered for CBS. He was a savvy mentor for many who aspired to rise in the programming department. He was at his best at times of stress and crisis. He was adept at getting everyone \u201crowing in the same direction\u201d during busy periods such as preparing for the annual spring upfront presentation, or during the upheaval after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He also responded well to executives who demonstrated a passionate belief on a particular matter, whether it be the potential of an up-and-coming actor or the merits of a script. \u201cHe would listen to you and if you\u2019d convinced him he\u2019d say, \u2018OK but your ass is on the line if it doesn\u2019t work,\u2019\u201d one CBS veteran said.\nJulie Chen Absent from \u2018The Talk\u2019 Season 9 Premiere Amid Moonves Ouster\nJulie Chen did not appear on Monday\u2019s Season 9 premiere of \u201cThe Talk\u201d on CBS the day after her husband, Leslie Moonves, was ousted as CEO-chairman of CBS Corp. \u201cI am taking a few days off from \u2018The Talk\u2019 to be with my family. I will be back soon and will see you Thursday night on \u2018Big Brother\u2019,\u201d Chen said in a statement. Host Sharon Osbourne kicked off the show saying, \u201cIt\u2019s a very bittersweet day for a Season 9. We\u2019re about to talk about something that affects everyone\u2019s lives at CBS. I\u2019ve never been nervous in my life, and i\u2019ve very nervous right now. As you all know, Julie\u2019s husband is in the news, and she\u2019s taking off time to be with her family.\nAs Moonves rose through the corporate ranks in the early 2000s, his reputation as a womanizer was well-established. It was known that he had at least one consensual relationship with a subordinate female CBS executive during the period when he was separated from his first wife, Nancy Moonves. But the allegations of violence and attempts to force himself on women still shocked many of those who have worked with him for years. As disturbed as CBS veterans are about those allegations, several of those reached for this story said they still had concern for Moonves\u2019 well-being amid the turmoil. Some also characterized the reports of his temper as overstated.\nMultiple sources said Moonves assured senior CBS executives that he was not vulnerable when the first wave of sexual abuse exposes began to surface last fall with reports on Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and other now-disgraced figures.\nMoonves last week admitted to trying to kiss a UCLA physician Anne Peters in 1999 during an appointment although he denied the assertion Peters made in a medical journal (without naming Moonves) that he \u201csatisfied himself\u201d in her presence after trying to force himself on her. \u201cThe appalling allegations about my conduct toward a female physician some 20 years ago are untrue. What is true, and what I deeply regret, is that I tried to kiss the doctor. Nothing more happened,\u201d Moonves said in a statement to Vanity Fair, which first reported on the incident.\nWithin CBS, there\u2019s growing anger that the fact that the allegations about Moonves\u2019 actions have at least temporarily put a taint on the legacy of the entire team. \u201cBetrayal\u201d was a word used by multiple sources. There is also resentment that Moonves held on during the past few weeks without stepping down to avoid the embarrassment of Sunday\u2019s hasty departure on the heels of Farrow\u2019s expose. The hit that CBS\u2019 stock price has taken is at least a temporary blow to executives with stock options and grants.\nJulie Chen stands by husband Les Moonves with Big Brother sign-off\nJulie Chen stands by husband Les Moonves with Big Brother sign-offpic.twitter.\nIn recent years, Moonves\u2019 grip on CBS\u2019 day-to-day operations loosened slightly. It was clear to those closest to him that he was thinking about his next chapter and a graceful segue. It\u2019s understood that about two years ago there was some discussion of Moonves succeeding Roger Goodell as NFL Commissioner as his transition out of his CBS. The move was said to have been supported by Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots and a friend of Moonves, but the opening at the league never materialized.\nThose who know Moonves well say the former actor loved nothing more than playing the role of Leslie Moonves, leader of CBS. He had become attentive to his own considerable legacy as a programmer in the past few years, seeking industry recognition for his highly successful run that is nearly unprecedented for an executive at a single network. He loved being compared to CBS founder William S. Paley, whose office at CBS\u2019 New York headquarters Moonves occupied, until Sept. 9. But his legacy is now irreparably tarnished, a downfall that has stunned the industry.\nAs the initial shock begins to subside, some CBS insiders are expressing cautious optimism about the prospect of gaining a little more autonomy in their day-to-day work lives. And some are energized to move the company forward after the massive shakeup that included six new board members, and a new permanent CEO still to be named. \u201cPeople are looking forward to getting to live or die by their own decisions,\u201d a CBS veteran said.\nDisclosure: Cynthia Littleton co-authored a book with Nina Tassler, \u201cWhat I Told My Daughter: Lessons From Leaders on Raising the Next Generation of Empowered Women,\u201d published in 2016 by Simon & Schuster, which is owned by CBS.\nJane Fonda on Leslie Moonves\u2019 Ouster: \u2018This Is Only the Beginning\u2019 .\nJane Fonda believes the downfall of Leslie Moonves won\u2019t be the last we\u2019ll see among powerful entertainment industry executives. \u201cIt\u2019s a shame he didn\u2019t behave, [but now] it\u2019s come back to get him,\u201d Fonda said at Thursday night\u2019s Los Angeles premiere of the HBO documentary \u201cJane Fonda in Five Acts\u201d at the Armand Hammer Museum.

        "raw_content": "The Drama of Human-Technology Interaction\nImagine you are sitting at your computer (which you are) and are about to complete a task such as such writing an email to a friend or analyzing some data using a spreadsheet. Such tasks would seem rather routine, but through the eyes of Brenda Laurel, they might be conceived as subplots in the drama of life. In \u201cThe Six Elements and the Causal Relations Among Them\u201d and \u201cDramatic Interaction in a Small World,\u201d Laurel considers how human-technology interactions could be conceived in theatrical terms. By using Aristotle\u2019s sixth elements of structure in drama (below), Laurel takes us on a thought exercise in how drama can be used to describe the elements of human-computer interaction. While I have yet to be convinced of the inherent value of the framework, the notion that our interaction with technology can be thought of as an \u201corganic whole\u201d \u2013 where \u201cform and structure can approach that of natural organisms in the way the parts fit perfectly together\u201d (p. 570) \u2013 does provide a vision for a perfect human-technology symbiosis.\nSource: Brenda Laurel (2003) \u201cThe Six Elements and the Causal Relations Among Them.\u201d In The New Media Reader, MIT Press, p. 565.\nIf my interaction with a computer can be thought of in a theatrical way, my question is who is writing the script? I\u2019d like to think that I control the script and that the computer enables my acting by perfectly responding to, perhaps anticipating, my every move in a free flowing form of interaction. At some level this is true. For example, my computer just told me that I misspelt \u201cineraction.\u201d However, it is also true that my interaction with a computer is constrained by the limitations of the computer and its programs. This makes me wonder whether the very structure of a computer platform will dictate, at a meta-level, the scope of the script and the drama that unfolds. One is reminded of \u201cthe architect\u201d in the Matrix and whether the writers of that script were on to something.\n\u00ab Leveraging Statistics to Improve Data Quality Thank you CAUS \u00bb\nTags: Brenda Laurel, The Matrix\namyhogan (14:15:57) :\nReading your comments, I immediately thought not of script but of improvisation\u2026 perhaps no one is writing the script. Or perhaps the script is merely the starting point \u2013 and at the point where the programming limitations fail to meet our needs, we improvise. Or when we receive a response from the machine that we did not expect. So this is somewhat counter to Laurel\u2019s thinking, I suppose, where everything is meticulously thought-out and playing nicely together to preserve the whole. But the role of improv is powerful \u2013 and perhaps more realistic\u2026?",

The current 3.0 version of the promotion started Jan. 30 and was scheduled to expire June 30, but will now run through Sept. 30.\nEarlier versions of the campaign gave customers free software and Web services. With Vista's release, Microsoft launched the 3.0 version of Buy Local with hardware, such as TV tuners, USB drives, wireless routers and print servers for systems built around Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007.\n\"The hardware offer worked out really well. The feedback from the channel is they're very excited to have some concrete items to give away,\" Ball said, adding that the number of redemptions of hardware items has exceeded Microsoft's expectations for the program.\nAccording to Ball, the hardware-based 3.0 version of Buy Local has brought more than 13,500 customers a month to the site looking for partners, a 20 percent increase from the previous six-month period, and registration for the partner locator tool has increased by two-thirds from the prior period. Traffic to the related site, www.localpcbuilder.com, is up 30 percent to about 88,000 visitors per month.\nBall said 5,000 U.S. system builders are registered in the Buy Local partner locator. That is about a quarter of all U.S. system builders, he estimated. Microsoft subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Israel and several Asian countries are also ramping up Buy Local campaigns, he said.",

Once it comes out, players will be able to seamlessly drive into the state as always, performing cargo deliveries between the most notable cities of the location. Moving cargo, players will be able to drive along known routes such as U.S.-30, 20 and -26. SCS Software are updating their blog as development on the DLC continues, with a few notable news of interest to players.\nThe economy of Oregon state is known to particularly focus on woodworking production, and the DLC will faithfully represent many of the elements in the industry including many production and wood-cutting zones. Players will find themselves driving up to thematic pickup and drop off locations, most often found in forests, construction zones, and rural areas to carry a degree of realism. It will certainly be interesting to move along unpaved roads and through upcoming suburbs, as depicted in screenshots. The DLC will increase cargo diversity in the base game by focusing on the underlying elements of the state\u2019s economy, allowing players to transport timber, lumber, and other construction materials.\nOregon state also prominently features massive truck stops, which will be represented in the game with their distinct designs and abundance of traffic. They will be \u201ceasily recognizable as unique landmarks,\u201d according to SCS and will provide a more interesting spin on resting locations than the typical gas stations in the game.

        "title": "MIT explore what impact AI will have on work | RealKM",
        "raw_content": "Posted by Adi Gaskell on 7 August 2018 in Brain power | 80 Views | Leave a response\nAs AI technologies have become more powerful in recent years there has been growing interest in how the technology will impact our work. The latest of these comes from one of the doyens of the field. MIT Sloan\u2019s Erik Brynjolfsson has recently penned a paper1 that attempts to provide a more nuanced exploration of the topic than the utopian and doomsday predictions that occupy either end of the spectrum.\nThe paper argues that whole jobs are very unlikely to be disrupted or replaced by machines, with a much more likely scenario being that specific tasks will be replaced instead, although Brynjolfsson does concede that some jobs are likely to have more of their tasks automated than others.\n\u201cOur findings suggest that a shift is needed in the debate about the effects of AI: away from the common focus on full automation of entire jobs and pervasive occupational replacement toward the redesign of jobs and reengineering of business practices,\u201d the authors say.\nThe true state of AI\nThe authors argue that many of the more outlandish predictions for AI are based upon unrealistic expectations of the technology. Indeed, many make the assumption that artificial general intelligence is just around the corner, when the reality is that we are still a long way off.\nInstead, the applications of AI today are in very narrow domains. Of course, that\u2019s not to say that these narrow applications aren\u2019t powerful and can\u2019t have a profound impact upon the world. Such technologies are working in areas such as image and speech recognition, natural language processing and predictive analytics.\nFrom this basic reality of the situation today, the researchers then examined the kind of tasks AI can and cannot do today. They developed a 23-question rubric to gauge whether a task is suitable for current AI capabilities.\n\u201cAny manager could take this rubric, and if they\u2019re thinking of applying machine learning [to a task] this rubric should give them some guidance,\u201d the researchers say. \u201cThere are many, many tasks that are suitable for machine learning, and most companies have really just scratched the surface.\u201d\nSusceptibility to automation\nThe team then used data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to understand the kind of tasks that typically make up a job. It\u2019s a similar methodology to that used by Oxford researchers Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne. The MIT believe that this has given them an insight into the risk of automation of some 900 different professions.\nIndeed, the analysis is very similar to that earlier work by Frey and Osborne, with one noticeable and crucial difference. Whereas the Oxford pair identified occupations where there was a likelihood of certain tasks being automated and conflated that with the entire job being automated, the MIT team haven\u2019t made that leap. This gives their analysis a more realistic outlook, finding as it does that many tasks are likely to be transformed by AI, but whole jobs much less likely. Instead, the transformation will be the reorganization of tasks rather than the replacement of jobs.\nFor instance, radiologists are a profession that are frequently in the crosshairs, as numerous AI applications have proven to be effective at rapidly and accurately diagnosing various conditions based upon medical scan images. That most of these applications have been both faster and more accurate than human radiologists has led many to predict their demise under the stampede of technology\u2019s advance. This is unlikely however, as there are 26 distinct tasks associated with being a radiologist, and whilst analyzing medical images is well suited to AI, interpersonal skills are currently not.\n\u201cIn almost every occupation, there are at least some tasks that could be affected, but there are also many tasks in every occupation that won\u2019t. That said, some occupations do have relatively more tasks that are likely to be affected by machine learning,\u201d Brynjolfsson says.\nThis is likely to result in a much better matching of skills with job requirements, with machine learning being used for tasks that it is inherently well suited to, and this then freeing up humans to do the things that we are inherently well suited to.\nThe ability to have a more realistic understanding of the impact technology is likely to have is crucial if we\u2019re to have a reasoned and successful response to the changes wrought by the technology. This kind of research will undoubtedly help to do just that.\nArticle source: MIT Explore What Impact AI Will Have On Work.\nHeader image source: Adapted from Caught Coding by Steve Jurvetson which is licensed by CC BY 2.0.\nBrynjolfsson, E., Mitchell, T., & Rock, D.

Skin to skin. Warm. Safe. And they never left. They still come to our bed every night. Skin to skin. Warm. Safe. Still.\nAnd it\u2019ll continue this way until the day (or night, I guess) when they no longer come to us. It might be one week, one year, or five years from now. I don\u2019t know when, but I do know they eventually will stop coming. Just because. So until then, it certainly won\u2019t be my husband or I who tell them otherwise. We want to hold on to these years as long as we can.\nI\u2019ve met many people who, like us, also have an open-policy family bedroom, no matter the age. And others for whom it simply doesn\u2019t work for them as a family. Each to their own. No judgement is the best judgement. Word up!\nThing is, while it might not be kids in your bed, we all have a \u201cthing\u201d that we do with our kids that is \u201cours\u201d, and ours\u2019 alone. Be it a habit or a tradition of sorts, that brings comfort to each of you. Warm. Safe.\nAnother \u201cthing\u201d I had with my eldest was at school drop-off. I\u2019d always walk him directly into his class. We\u2019d give eachother a big smooch on the lips and a big ole\u2019 bear hug. I\u2019d kiss his neck and say into his ear \u201cbe great today\u201d. He\u2019d then run over to the window and we\u2019d do a virtual hug, an exaggerated wink (which is our \u201cI love you\u201d) and wave goodbye. And we\u2019d walk off in our separate directions. Warm. Safe.\nUntil today. Today when we walked in, his best friend was waving him over to the Lego table. A great big smile came across my boy\u2019s face. He turned and gave me a quick kiss, and ran off. I waited for him to turn around\u2026 he didn\u2019t. I passed by \u201cour\u201d window\u2026 he wasn\u2019t there. But through the window, I could see my boy laughing with his best friend, as they built towers to the sky. \u201cBe great,\u201d I said.\nAs I walked away, I felt heavy. A complicated, but proud, kind of heavy. My boy was spreading his little wings\u2026 he\u2019d found his new warm and safe. His own. What\u2019s more, he\u2019s doing exactly what I told him to do\u2026 he\u2019s being great.\nA new chapter has begun. There is no going back. It took his innocently walking away from me to realize that those hugs and kisses and waves at the window were not only for him, but for me too. Maybe even more so for me. My boy was doing what we parents work tirelessly to teach them\u2026 and that\u2019s to grow into their own. Independent. Confident. Great. And while I may not be quite ready to let old habits die, I do know it means that I too am doing my job, as his Mom, properly. I too am being great.\nWe often use the phrase \u201cthis too shall pass\u201d as a reassurance that bad thing will soon end. But when it comes to parenting, good things also end. And while there\u2019s undoubtedly more NEW good things yet to come, we truly need to enjoy the \u201cnow\u201d\u2026. because it too shall pass.\nSo tonight, when I hear those little footsteps coming down the hallway, and he slides into bed with me\u2026 you\u2019d better believe I\u2019m going to take every snuggle I can get. \u2018Cause there\u2019s no telling when these beautiful visits will end. So until he\u2019s ready\u2026 because I\u2019m certainly not\u2026 I\u2019m going to welcome him with open arms. Warm. Safe.\nWhen it comes to the whole Parent vs. Non-Parent debacle, I\u2019m totally a team player. When I\u2019m with Non-Parents, I try very hard not to talk about my 3 Beasts\u2026 Just kidding, it\u2019s actually quite easy to forget they even exist. Instead, I happily sit back and listen to the Non-Parents complain about their perfect f*cking child-free lives. (Insert eye roll!)\nBut it seems Non-Parents have found yet another thing in their perfect child-free lives to complain about. Because apparently, we \u2018Parents\u2019 say hurtful things to them. Sniff! Sniff! I came across the following article: Five Things Parents Need to Stop Saying to Non-Parents. I ever-so-patiently read through it only to come to the conclusion that Non-Parents are just a bunch of whiny-ass punks. I mean, by intentionally not bringing a child into the world, these Non-Parents are able to maintain their sanity, body shape, livelihood, and liver. Really, they have a golden horseshoe shoved so far up their you-know-whats, they aren\u2019t even able to appreciate it. IgnorANUS! (Oh, envy is a terrible thing. Is it not?)\nHere. Try this: Go home. Smear peanut butter, jam and Cheese Whiz all over your sofa. Then squeeze honey all over your carpet, and empty a tub of icecream over top (for good measure, of course!). Now spray about 30 grape juiceboxes all over your walls and windows (note: must be grape, apple juice simply doesn\u2019t do enough damage). Now toss a couple of fish sticks and chicken nuggets behind your sofa and leave them there for 9 months. Last, but not least, grab a Sharpie and scribble all over your plasma screen. THEN tell me your house is a mess!\nBut really, I think we all just need to get over ourselves. In the end, whether you\u2019re a Parents or a Non-Parents\u2026 we all still have one thing in common: WINE!\nSo let\u2019s leave our sensitivities at the door\u2026 Let\u2019s simply come together and agree to whine less, and wine more.\nI\u2019ll tell you what\u2026 Horniness! And I\u2019m not talking about the Spring Fever kind of horniness. No\u2026 I\u2019m talking about horny f-cking yellow toe nails with crusty feet! Jeyzuz! If you\u2019re going to impose opened-toed shoes on the world, make sure your feet don\u2019t look like a dog\u2019s breakfast!\nSeriously, I was standing in line the other day, and the man\u2019s feet in front of me looked like they were right out of Deliverance!",

        "raw_content": "Prophets & prophecy\nThe Intensive Presence of God\u2019s Future: Karl Barth and the Christological Goal of Old Testament Revelation\nMany people criticize Swiss theologian Karl Barth for presumably being overly Christocentric in his approach to interpreting Scripture and doing theology. Barth, so it is argued, forces biblical texts and dogmatic concepts into an ostensibly prefabricated Christological mold, thus \u201cseeing Christ\u201d in places where he actually does not appear. Leaving aside the issue of whether or not it is even possible to be too Christocentric, this kind of criticism simply does not hold up to scrutiny, especially when we consider the exegetical sections that Barth intersperses between larger blocks of theological exposition in the Church Dogmatics. The following passage, taken from CD I/2 (London; New York: T&T Clark, 2004, 95-101), demonstrates how Barth is willing to let the Old Testament speak for itself without applying a flat Christological hermeneutic. In fact, it is precisely as Barth seeks to listen to the Old Testament on its own terms that he finds himself compelled to acknowledge the \u201cintensive presence\u201d of \u201cGod\u2019s future\u201d which culminates, ultimately and only, in Jesus Christ. In order to see this, it is (unfortunately) necessary to quote a rather lengthy section, yet one that rewards a full and careful reading. Barth writes:\nThere is an eschatological thread in the Old Testament in line with which, as the Old Testament recognises and explicitly states, the covenant of God with man comes to be realised, and the hiddenness and revelation of God beyond the actual event attested in the Old Testament is primarily future event. The eschatological character of the divine reconciliation and revelation does not mean any negation of its presence, either here or in the New Testament\u2026. [I]s not God\u2019s future the most intensive presence, incomparably more intensive than anything we regard as present? We have seen with what intensity God\u2019s covenant and hiddenness in the Old Testament point to God\u2019s coming. In this very intensity they are already present, and Abraham, Moses and the prophets are recipients of revelation in the full sense of the term. But we still have to put it in this way, that they receive the revelation of Yahweh as those who wait for it and hasten toward it\u2026.\nThe point is this. Of a whole series of ideas which have decisive significance for the world of the Old Testament, we may safely say that to understand them correctly in the sense of the texts, we have to know them from two aspects, like the winged altars of the Middle Ages. In front there is presented to us a definite aspect of the covenant and of the hiddenness of God in a definite present of historical time. But from behind there is presented to us at the same time, in terms of the same or related concepts, the corresponding aspect of fulfilled time, the finished work of God to come\u2026.\nWhen, for example, the Old Testament speaks of the \u201cpeople\u201d or of \u201cIsrael\u201d or of \u201cJudah\u201d, the primary meaning is, of course, the sum-total of the descendants of the sons of Jacob, with whom as such the covenant was made at Sinai. But at once the separation of the ten northern tribes from the two southern suggests that this primary idea of \u201cpeople\u201d will not carry all that is meant in the Old Testament by God\u2019s people, the chosen people. A people within the people, as it were, is the people which is meant in the divine covenant and participates in its fulfilment. But we are still involved only with the primary idea if we regard Judah-Benjamin as this people, compared with whom North Israel finally disappears from history. For Judah-Benjamin is not this people, but as their own prophets say, a converted \u201choly remnant,\u201d spared in the judgment. Who belongs to this remnant? Who are now God\u2019s people? The adherents of a prophetic community of disciples? A community of the faithful congregating about the temple? The few righteous who walk in the way of Yahweh\u2019s commandments? Yes and No. Yes, because actually such a people is discernible in the foreground; No, because prophetic exhortation and hope do not remain with this people, because later prophets like Jeremiah and Deutero-Isaiah speak again of a \u201cpeople,\u201d of Jerusalem, even of Israel as a whole. The people within the people, the genuine Israel, is obviously not identical either with the sum-total of Jacob\u2019s descendants or with any section of this sum. But the genuine Israel, elect, called and finally blessed by Yahweh, is merely typified in both, and remains a goal beyond the history of either. In the strictest sense this people is ahead of itself in time. It has still to be seen what this people really is.\nWhen the Old Testament speaks of the \u201cland\u201d promised and then given to this people, the primary meaning, of course, simply is the land of Canaan commended to the fathers by God. But, again, whatever the qualities of this geographical entity may have been at that time, as such they are wholly unsuited to exhaust the full meaning that lies in the conception of the promised land. When we look beyond the conception of a land \u201cflowing with milk and honey,\u201d to the promises associated with it (particularly when things were really not going well in this land), our gaze is necessarily directed to the paradise lost and restored which is to be the dwelling-place of this people, to the miraculously renewed earth upon which this people will some day live amid the other happily and peaceably united peoples. Thus the \u201cland\u201d is certainly Palestine, but with equal certainty, in and along with this land, there is meant the quite different land which is not actually visible in the history of Israel, because it is its goal, because it is therefore outside it. The one land is waiting for the other.\nWhen the Old Testament speaks of the \u201ctemple,\u201d by that is assuredly meant the house in Jerusalem which David wished to build for the Lord and which Solomon did build for Him as His abode, and therefore as a place of prayer and sacrifice for this people. But this temple could be destroyed and rebuilt and destroyed again, without losing anything of the intensity of its significance. What it is and is not in the foreground is governed by the temple of the future in the background, which, built according to Isaiah not by men but by God Himself, will stand and shine upon some quite other mount of God, to which some day not only Israel but the nations will make pilgrimage. It is from the standpoint of its future that the temple at Jerusalem is what it is.\nWhat does \u201clordship of God\u201d mean in the Old Testament? First, of course, the present fact, as such apparently of infinite significance, that this people belongs to Yahweh, is ruled, punished and rewarded in its destinies by Yahweh, has therefore as a whole and in all its members to obey Yahweh\u2019s instructions and commands. Can there be anything more here, a supreme background? Yes, here particularly, and it is quite understandable that attempts have been made to concentrate in the idea of the \u201ccomplete lordship of God\u201d the entire eschatology of the Old Testament. For at this very point everything present is to be regarded from the standpoint of its own future. Is it not at present bounded on all sides by what is before our eyes, the fact that this people belongs to Yahweh, that He exercises power over them, that they have to listen to Him? Does not the hope necessarily arise of the Kingdom without end? Not only does this hope actually arise, but it clearly gives power and possibility to faith in God\u2019s lordship even in this very present moment. It is by future accomplishment that God\u2019s people lives even in the imperfection of its present situation and government. And it never sees its fulfilment. Its presence seems, on the contrary, to grow more imperfect on every side. At all events, the political equivalent of the Kingdom of God in the external power and position of this people grows more and more insignificant. But in the same proportion it seems to be the more definitely aware of that which is the goal and boundary of His ways, namely, that God shall put all His enemies under His feet. His lordship is to be established as much over the innermost heart of His people as over the whole world.\nWhat is the meaning of \u201cjudgment\u201d in the Old Testament? In the first instance judgment is executed quite concretely and with disturbing frequency in the form of great national disasters, from the plague of serpents in the wilderness to the destruction of Jerusalem. This is the dreadful picture in the foreground, from which according to the Old Testament very few generations of this people were entirely spared. But apart from the very real picture of slaughtered and burned towns and villages, of fields full of slain, of long processions of exiles\u2014apart from all this there is no knowledge of what \u201cjudgment\u201d means in the Old Testament. And yet the Old Testament thought of judgment does not derive its seriousness and gravity from this source. For something far more dreadful is at the back of it all, the end of God\u2019s love, the rejection of Israel, and over and above, the burning wrath of God upon all nations, the judgment of the world. This is not present; strictly speaking, it is future. But it is a matter of this future in the present. The prophets look beyond the flames which, kindled by hostile men, destroy Samaria and Jerusalem, but also in the end Nineveh and Babylon, to see this quite different, unquenchable flame. And they were speaking of it, of this background, of this future judgment, when they referred so threateningly and definitely to the foreground.\nThe most important of the ideas we have to mention is that of the \u201cking.\u201d The king is in the first instance and as such the autocrat who rules at a given time in Jerusalem, one of the smaller or smallest among the many of his kind in the Near East of that day. But we have already been told that the king is at the same time one of the outstanding instruments of the divine covenant. If any figure stands strikingly in the shadow of the divine hiddenness, it is that of the king. That is to say, this figure, too, points beyond itself. It is probably an old tradition that David already conceived of himself as the type of the righteous man, one \u201cthat ruleth over men, that ruleth in the fear of God, and is as the light of the morning when the sun riseth, a morning without clouds, when the grass springeth out of the earth through the clear shining after the rain\u201d (2 Sam. 23:1\u20137). This righteous king, who is at once threatened and promised in the future by the existence of the present king, is the Messiah, the king of Israel, nay the world king \u201cat the end of the days.\u201d Once more selection is effected as in the case of the \u201cpeople\u201d; for the kings of Samaria do not share in this hope, but only those of Jerusalem. Even here the lineage of David seems often enough to be broken as regards this preparation for the coming king; the king for the moment, even if counted among the \u201cgood\u201d kings, frequently seems to be little more than a symbol of this lineage of David\u2026.\nWhat is involved in Messianic expectation is not an intensifying but a sheer transcending of present political experience. It comes to this, that the conception of the king in particular can be described as the central form of Messianic expectation, but as such it is clearly too narrow to express all that is to be said of the expected bringer of salvation. The \u201cservant\u201d in Deutero-Isaiah is much less a king than a prophet, and the son of David in Ps. 110 and the tsemach in Zech. 6 is priest and king at once. The \u201cson of man\u201d appearing in the clouds of heaven in Dan. 7 shows all the characteristics of a ruler, but, naturally, the ruler who makes an end of the world powers and of world power as such. If the interpretation of the Book of Enoch is applicable, he is no less than the first man returning in glory\u2014first also in a supreme sense even as compared with Adam. And the functions of the expected One, namely, a victory which is not preceded by a struggle (the Messiah does not Himself take part in the Messianic woes which precede Him, but when they are finished He appears), a rule of peace without end, the rooting out of sin, the judgment of the world, supreme sway not only over human spirits but also over a renewed world of nature\u2014all these can be summed up under the concept of rule, but only in such a way that the functions of an earthly king obviously fall very far behind, having really become a mere parable\u2026.\nWe have seen that along with the idea of the king there are other ideas with which Old Testament expectation is linked; nation, land, temple, the lordship of God, judgment. At the same time it cannot be denied that all these other ideas, or the expectations linked up with them, culminate and become concrete in this one, the idea and expectation of the king of the end of time. The Messiah is already \u201cthe hope of Israel,\u201d so far as all Israel\u2019s hopes point to an historical event on earth, an event altogether introduced by God, breaking into all other history from above, but actually within history, a real historical event. The analogy between present type and coming reality does not break down, because the reality to come will also be a man ruling in the name of God\u2014ruling, of course, in quite a different way. And with his appearance all that is now expected will be quite different, the true Israel, the land of promise, the temple on the mount of God, the Kingdom without end, the judgment of the world.\nThis, then, is the explicit expectation of the Old Testament. It must be held together with what is said about the covenant concluded but not fulfilled and about the revealed but not realised hiddenness of God in the Old Testament. And what was said about the covenant and about the hiddenness of God receives confirmation from the presence of this explicit expectation. It is only \u2026 from the recollection of fulfilled time, from the New Testament point of view, that we can say that in respect of this expectation the Old Testament is the witness to divine revelation, so that its expectation is no illusion, but the kind of expectation when the expected One has already knocked at the door and is already there, though still outside.\nMere expectation, therefore, or abstract expectation, an autonomous time of preparation, is excluded. Is there fulfilled time and expectation? Has the Messiah appeared? Later Judaism, the documents of which were not adopted into the Old Testament Canon, more than once thought so, and every time the end was a bitter disillusionment. And when Jesus Christ arose in Galilee and Jerusalem, the same later Judaism, represented by the authorised experts in the canonical Old Testament and the official bearers of the sacred tradition, looked right past Him, in fact rejected Him outright and smote Him on the cross. If He was the Messiah to come, if He was the revelation attested by the Old Testament in expectation, as the Christian Church confesses it, then we can only say that it had to be so, that rejection was possible in spite of the fact that Holy Scripture of the Old Testament lay open straight in front of these men\u2019s eyes and was read by them with genuine industry and attention. Revelation does not speak directly even in its most definite testimonies\u2014i.e., not by way of a demonstration that can be carried out by experiment and logic. The expectation of revelation in the Old Testament is prophecy, not prediction to be controlled experimentally by logic. That is why it was and is possible to look past it. That is why it could and can be rejected. How could it be otherwise? It is self-attested by the fact that this expected revelation is really revelation, that the Old Testament present participates in a future which is really God\u2019s future. That is, one may be offended by it; it can only be believed in; it speaks only in the way revelation speaks\u2026.\n[I]f [the Church] recognises revelation and lives by revelation, that is unmerited grace, as Paul says in Rom. 11:20f. The mystery of revelation, which is the mystery of free, unmerited grace, includes the Church of the New Testament inseparably with the people whose blessing is attested for us in the Old Testament as expectation of Jesus Christ. And this very mystery acts not only as a barrier but as a bond between Church and Synagogue which, like the impenitent sister with seeing eyes, refuses to see that the people of the Old Testament really expected Jesus Christ and in this expectation was graciously blessed.\nBiblical interpretation, Eschatology, Karl Barth, Kingdom of God, Prophets & prophecy, Revelation\nCome, Lord Jesus!

Artwork by Chris Koelle, The Book of Revelation)\n\u201cThe time is at hand.\u201d\u2026 Faith knows that the eternal God has entered into this estranged world in Christ Jesus and therefore this world must pass away in its present form before the full unveiling of His glory. Jesus Christ is intensely near to faith, and therefore faith ever stands on the threshold of the new world, in intense consciousness of the Advent of the Lord. The New Testament does not think of the difference between the presence of Christ here and now and His Second Advent so much in terms of a passage of time as the difference between the veiled and the unveiled. That is why the whole of the New Testament by an inner necessity of personal faith thinks of that day as imminent. The pressure of that imminence may be so great upon the mind as to turn the thin veil of sense and time into apocalyptic imagery behind which it is given to see the consummation of all things. That is what has been happening in this book. Jesus Christ is so intensively near that St. John feels Him always at his elbow, immediately behind him, about to be revealed in all His transcendent glory. In a context of intimate communion like that, the testimony of Jesus is always the Spirit of prophecy\u2026.\n[T]he voice of Jesus Himself comes to us breaking through the voice of the angel, and also through the voice of the Apostle, but never more clearly and insistently than at the points of desperate urgency. \u201cI come quickly!\u201d The words of this book are human words, and the images used in these visions are images such as we find in the dreams of men. Throughout them all there comes the great voice from the throne that authenticates itself as none other than the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ. Clear as a bell and with the note of supreme certainty and absolute authority it peals in the thunder of judgment over the rebellious forces of evil. It is ever the recognizable voice of Him who, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh, spoke as no other in words that we may understand, gracious words of love and truth, the words of eternal life\u2026.\nThe voice that speaks through these visions can be heard today. It is the voice of the everlasting Gospel, the voice that rises in clear and beautiful tones above all the hubbub of a rebellious world, the voice of Jesus through the Spirit and through the Church\u2026. To participate in all that it reveals of the everlasting love of God and of the glory of the holy city a gracious invitation is extended to whosoever will. There is but one condition \u2014 to be thirsty. It is only they who may drink of the water of the river of life live themselves forever in the life of God.\nDevotional, Eschatology, Gospel, Preaching, Prophets & prophecy, Revelation, T.F. Torrance\nThe New Heaven and the New Earth (T.F. Torrance on Revelation 21)\n2 April 2017 Jonathan Kleis1 Comment\n(The following sermon excerpt comes from T.F. Torrance, 1959. The Apocalypse Today. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, pp.144-6. 150. Artwork by Chris Koelle, The Book of Revelation)\nIt has been said that the great purpose of God, which begins with creation, narrows down in a fallen world first to the people of Israel and then to the suffering Servant, Jesus Christ, but in Jesus Christ it widens out through the Church, the Israel of God, and at last breaks into a new heaven and new earth. It is the road from the many to the One, and from the One to the many. At its center is the Lamb of God, He who is, who was, and who is to come, gather up in Himself the purpose of the original creation and fulfilling it by redemption in the new creation\u2026.\n[T]he Kingdom of God is not a realm characterized by heaven only. It is a homely Kingdom with earth in it. Whatever else that may mean it certainly implies a physical existence of created beings, and implies too that eternity will not be a timeless monotone but an eternity with time in the heart of it\u2026. This much, too, is clear that God\u2019s original creation will be fully restored in redemption. It is a redemption, however, that transcends that original creation in glory though it is not divorced from it. The original purpose of love will be more than fulfilled. The Garden of Eden meant that God has made man to have communion with Him in a perfect environment, and that true human life is essentially life in such a perfect environment. Therefore the perfection of the Christian life involves the perfection of earth as well as heaven. The Christian hope is fulfilled only in a new heaven and a new earth peopled with human beings living in holy and loving fellowship with God, with one another, and in harmony with the fulness of creation\u2026.\nThe new heaven and the new earth are the perfect environment, and now St. John tries to describe the perfect form which the Kingdom of God will take\u2026. \u201cBehold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people\u2026.\u201d The language reminds us of the beginning of the Fourth Gospel: \u201cAnd the Word was made flesh and tabernacled among men, and we beheld his glory, full of glory and truth.\u201d That is the very heart of the eternal Kingdom, God among men in grace and truth, God in intimate fellowship with His children in a life from which evil and pain have been utterly eradicated and which draws its abundance from Jesus Christ\u2026.\nWho can say all that the Lord has laid up for those who trust Him?\u2026 Certainly it is true that the great reward of all who serve Him here is that they shall ever serve Him there, and see His face, and become like Him. He who has seen Christ, has seen the Father, and that vision more than suffices him. The Father whom we shall see yonder is none other than Him whom we see in Jesus. Yonder we shall see Him in fulness of vision which is denied to us here, but it will ever be God as revealed to us in Jesus and no other for there is no other. In the heart of transcendent Deity there will still be One like unto the Son of Man, and the light in which we shall see Him will ever be the light of the Lamb.\nAssurance, Devotional, Eschatology, Preaching, Prophets & prophecy, Revelation, Soteriology, Suffering\nThe Final Judgment (T.F. Torrance on Revelation 20)\nThen I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while\u2026. Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone\u2019s name was not found written in the book of life, xhe was thrown into the lake of fire.\n(The following sermon excerpt comes from T.F. Torrance, 1959. The Apocalypse Today. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, pp.139-41. Artwork by Chris Koelle, The Book of Revelation)\nAs long as the time of our life in this world is devoured by the dragon of evil and guilt, time has no meaning for us. It returns upon itself in empty circularity and futility, unable to arrive at its true goal, unable to reach the fulness of life. But when the Kingdom of God invades our sin-infested time in Jesus Christ, the circularity of time is broken. That is why Jesus Christ is called Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, and that is why, in order to describe what happens when God\u2019s perfect time breaks into the midst of our time, the Apocalypse uses a definite span of years. For the things concerning Jesus Christ have an end, a fulfilment. Now that Jesus Christ has come into our world all things move towards a climax, which will be the day of harvest both of good and evil. That is why the apocalyptic expression \u201cthousand years\u201d speaks of Satan being loosed again, for God insists on bringing all the work of evil to a head. Then the head of the serpent will be destroyed, and all its slimy body of sin and evil, which it had trailed throughout human history, shall be burned with everlasting fire\u2026.\nOn that day the books will be opened, the book of our past, the book of destiny, the book of life. Mysterious as it may appear, these are not really different from the heavily sealed book which was seen in the visions of the fifth and sixth chapters. The last judgments are all bound up with the judgments that even now shake the earth, though they mark the fulfilment and their end. As at the opening of that heavily sealed in the hand of God there were calamities and woes and plagues upon the earth, so here there are woes and calamities and judgments for all who have allowed themselves to be seduced by Satan and who have not taken refuge in the sacrifice for the sins of the world\u2026.\nThat is what St. John calls the second death \u2014 a terrible and a ghastly truth. But we dare not shut our eyes to it, although no one likes to talk about it or preach about it. However much there may be which we cannot understand about that mystery of iniquity and its judgment, it is quite clear from the Word of God that those who die in their sins do not pass out into nothingness and forgetfulness. There is time beyond death, time for the damned as well. And it is because there is such a thing as time beyond, that hell is so terrible. It is time that has denied itself fulfilment in Christ, and time therefore which has a dreary lastingness about it, for it can only double back upon itself forever in sulky, sullen memory of past sins\u2026. Hell is God\u2019s judgment upon those who ultimately choose evil, but even hell itself comes under the judgment of God. That is to us the ultimate inexplicability of evil, but St. John makes it perfectly clear that the holy love of God is against hell.\nAnd what about those who have been sealed with the blood of Christ and whose sins have been covered?\u2026 Just because Christ has invaded time, that day will mean for the believer the fulfilment of all his faith and hope in the crucified and risen Jesus. The things concerning Jesus do have their fulfilment. Therefore that will be the day when the Church of the faithful shall be filled with all the fulness of God according to the power that works within her. If on that day we have Christ alive in our heart, then the book of destiny will be the book of life, for us. Christ the Lamb of God who bears away the sins of the world is He to whom all judgment is committed. In Christ, the day of judgment is the day of vindication, the day when those who have witnessed the good confession before the Pontius Pilates of this world will be enthroned with Christ in the judgment of all evil. As they have shared the reproach of Christ in His judgment by the world, so they will share with Christ in his judgment of the world\u2026. Then let the devil shout himself hoarse in his accusations against us at the bar of judgment! The Christian has a cry that conquers the world, the word of his testimony and the blood of the Lamb. \u201cIt is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again!\u201d It is the power of the resurrection that prevails.\nDevotional, Eschatology, Judgment of God, Preaching, Prophets & prophecy, Resurrection, Revelation, Sin and evil\nThe Word of God Victorious (T.F.

The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.\n(The following sermon excerpt comes from T.F. Torrance, 1959. The Apocalypse Today. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, pp.126-131. Artwork by Chris Koelle, The Book of Revelation)\nWe must understand this chapter from the contrast implied throughout between the Babylonian whoredom or harlotry and the marriage of the Lamb. It is the contrast between the Church that has remained faithful and true to the Word of God in the midst of the seductions of the world, and the false Babylonian church that has adulterated the Word of God with the word of man\u2026. The fact is that as long as the Church is in this present world it is menaced by the image of the beast. She cannot help but have a tainted worldly form for she belongs to this world and is formed and fashioned by its culture and civilization and history. But she belongs to the City of God and is supremely the Church from above, and as such she must ever repent in dust and ashes, She must ever be prepared to place her worldly form on the altar of the Cross\u2026. Therefore the true life of the Church in this world must always be the life of ferment and conversion and revolution and renewal and reformation\u2026. Outwardly it is quite impossible to separate the true from the false, but God knows who are His and who are prepared for the marriage of the Lamb. It is in the moment of crisis, at the coming of the Bridegroom, that the secrets are revealed\u2026.\nThen St. John tells us he saw Heaven opened and he beheld a white horse and its rider \u2014 the symbol of truth in embattled and victorious might and triumph. In contrast to anti-Christ, the counterfeit rider and his white horse of an earlier vision, this one is called \u201cFaithful and True.\u201d At last the shams of time and all the deceptions of Babylon are ruthlessly exposed. This is the final truth of human history. \u201cHis eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God\u201d (19:12-13).\nWhat is the meaning of this unknowable name?\u2026 In old Semitic thought to know a person\u2019s name meant in some sense to have power over him, to be able to control him. But the Word of God reserves the mystery and power of its own name. It cannot be controlled or manipulated to serve other ends. The Word of God empowers itself, enacts itself, for the Word of God and the Power of God are one. No man can fulfil the Word of God, or enact its promise in the course of history. No church has control over the Word of God so as to be able to maneuver its fulfilment in the world. That is what the false church thinks it can do, that it can organize the Kingdom on earth, that it can wed temporal and spiritual power, and master the universe as the vicar of vice-regent of Almighty God.\nBut at last the Word of God comes forth as a sharp sword to discover the lies and hypocrisies of men and to smite the power of the earth in their mingling of false religion and beastly power. At last the Word enacts its own fulfilment, manifesting its power and revealing its name, King of kings and Lord of lords. And behold, that name is written upon the vesture that bears the mark of Calvary, and all the world is given to know that Christ Crucified is indeed Power of God. It is inevitably a day of judgment when God joins His power to His Word, and so, though this is the marriage supper of the Lamb with its song and rejoicing, it is also a day when the Kingdom of God is violent and the armies of heaven are completely victorious.\nWe live between the times, between the First Advent and the Second Advent, between the Word of Forgiveness and the Word of Judgment, between the Last Supper and the Marriage Supper, for that final day has not yet come. Meantime the wedding is being prepared and the invitations are being sent out by the messengers of God. They are out upon the highways and the byways of the earth compelling people to come in. It is so terribly urgent that they must do all they can to persuade men, knowing the terror of the Lord, and under the constraint of the invincible love of Christ.\nBiblical interpretation, Christology, Devotional, Ecclesiology, Eschatology, Judgment of God, Mission & evangelism, Preaching, Prophets & prophecy, Revelation, T.F. Torrance, Word of God\nFallen is Babylon the Great! (T.F. Torrance on Revelation 17-18)\nRevelation 17:1-6; 18:1-3, 19-20\nThen one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls\u2026carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: \u201cBabylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth\u2019s abominations.\u201d And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.\u2026 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. And he called out with a mighty voice, \u201cFallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.\u201d\u2026\u201cAlas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! For in a single hour she has been laid waste. Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, for God has given judgment for you against her!\u201d\nThere is no doubt as we read these strange chapters of the Book of Revelation, with their visions of monstrous and abominable creatures, that we shudder in our souls, and well we might! But let us look at the facts squarely. Look out abroad upon the world\u2026and see the monstrosities of evil, unbelievable wickedness, and bloodshed. Then look again at the monstrous creatures of the Apocalypse, drunk with the blood of the people. Are they not much the same?\u2026[T]hat is true of all the world today behind the economic strangle hold of world affairs. Behind all its commerce and trade, vast and wonderful as they are, there is traffic in the souls of men. The God Mammon even employs religion in its commercial enterprises. Behind many seemingly Christian enterprises there lies the darkest monster of all, the solidarity of human guilt, the dragon of unbowed pride. It is by pride that we turn the glory of Almighty God into the image of sinful man and what is even worse, the image of the beast. Man has been made in the image of God, but when the image of God in man is prostituted to human pride, man produces a monstrous evil and the mark of the beast is on him. Look at the beastly way in which the world crucified Jesus \u2014 that was done by religious pride.\nIf the Word of the Gospel discovered the secrets of the human heart so that men were offended at Him and resented Him and finally crucified Him because in their pride they were cut to the quick, then that is true of human history on a vast scale. The pressure of the everlasting Gospel evokes the organized and final opposition of collective human pride and Babylonian egoism. Surely that is the crisis of our times, the emergence amongst the nations of the image of the beast. At first it is only the scaffolding of a vast structure erected upon the pillars of social goods and western morality but before we know where we are, power is given unto this image. It thunders in arrogant pride and as many as will not do homage to it are sacrificed. It is the Babylonian captivity. But listen to the Book of Revelation, for pride cometh before a fall. \u201cBabylon is fallen, is fallen! Babylon the great is fallen!\u201d In the apocalyptic calendar it will disappear overnight like a huge stone cast into the midst of the sea. In one hour is her judgment come! Then shall the world weep and lament \u2014 all who were made rich by her costly merchandise, all who lived deliciously with her, all who were intoxicated with the wine of her culture, and all who trafficked in the souls of men. Then shall the redeemed rejoice, and all the holy apostles and prophets, for Babylon shall be found no more at all\u2026\nSuch is the judgment of God upon the defiant pride and culture of man that tries to storm the way back into Utopia, into the Garden of Eden. That way is barred by an angel with a flaming sword. But there is a way, through the Garden of Gethsemane and through the Garden of Arimathea. It is the way of the Lamb. \u201cI am the door,\u201d He says. \u201cHe that entereth not by the door \u2026 but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber\u201d (John 10:1).\nDevotional, Eschatology, Judgment of God, Preaching, Prophets & prophecy, Revelation, Sin and evil, T.F. Torrance\nThe Wrath of the Lamb (T.F. Torrance on Revelation 16)\nThen I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, \u201cGo and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.\u201d So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful sores came upon the people who bore the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea. The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, \u201cJust are you, O Holy One, who is and who was, for you brought these judgments. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!\u201d And I heard the altar saying, \u201cYes, Lord God the Almighty, true and just are your judgments!\u201d The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory. The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores. They did not repent of their deeds. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the east. And I saw, coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs. For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty\u2026And they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, \u201cIt is done!\u201d\nLet us take care to note that these angels are clothed in pure and white linen, and have their breasts girded with golden girdles. This means that the wrath which they are about to pour out upon the earth is a pure and sinless wrath, priestly in its function and golden in its integrity, quite unlike the wrath of man\u2026Moreover it is a judgment that proceeds out of the innermost part of the Temple, out of the Holy of Holies which enshrines God\u2019s Testimony, His inviolable Word. But let us not forget that the Commandments of God in that Holy of Holies are all covered with the tender mercy of God\u2026Once a year on the great Day of Atonement, the High Priest, girded much as these angels were, offered sacrifice and slipped through the veil that screened the inner shrine from public view\u2026With confession of sin and the pleading of sacrifice the High Priest received the atonement and brought word back to the waiting congregation. \u201cIt is finished! It is done! God has judged the sin and forgiven His people!\u201d\u2026\nSo it is at Calvary. There we see the sacrifice of the Lamb who was also the High Priest. The veil is torn in twain from the top to the bottom, and the Mediator enters through the thick darkness of the world\u2019s guilt and God\u2019s holy judgment, into the heart of the mystery and makes atonement. We hear the triumphant voice: \u201cIt is finished! Father forgive them, for they know not what they do,\u201d but we cannot fathom the awful depth of the suffering behind those dread words: \u201c\u2026My God, My God, why has Thou forsaken me?\u201d\u2026But here we do see something of the horror of great darkness that pressed with such crushing weight upon the Spirit of our Lord in the garden of Gethsemane, and of the bitterness of the cup which He drank to the very dregs, being made a curse for us. As vial after vial of wrath is poured out upon the earth, the sea, and the air in sevenfold fulness until at last there comes a great voice out of the Holy of Holies, and from the Throne of mercy, saying, \u201cIt is done!\u201d \u2013 surely it is intended that we should understand in all that something of the unmitigated darkness and agony of Golgotha. If God must at last pour out such wrath upon inveterate and defiant godlessness, it is a wrath at the cost of infinite agony to Himself. It is His voice that John hears from the throne of mercy, and it is at His bidding that these pure angels pour out their vials upon the earth\u2026\nOne after another the whole kingdom of the beast is smitten with divine judgment, until at last the whole trinity of hideous wickedness \u2013 the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet \u2013 is roused from its lair to gather the forces of the wide world to do battle against God Almighty. That is an organization of forces on a universal scale in which all that is anti-God reaches out to its limit of arrogant defiance\u2026But it shall never be! The meek and gentle Jesus, the Lamb of God, shall come forth to Armageddon as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, for the purpose of His love shall not fail. The voice that went up in exultant suffering from Calvary shall ring out again in final triumph over all: \u201cIt is finished!\u201d And He shall reign for ever and ever, the King of kings and Lord of lords.\nThe Wrath of God\u2019s Holy Love (T.F. Torrance on Revelation 15)\n19 February 2017 24 February 2017 Jonathan Kleis\nThen I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished. And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire\u2014and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, \u201cGreat and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.\u201d\nAfter the third interlude comes the last series of seven plagues, called this time the seven vials of wrath\u2026Only when we take [these three series of calamities] together can we see in proper dimension the unfolding of world events as the fierce attempt of pride to gain the mastery over the world, an attempt which shatters itself upon the wrath of God\u2019s holy love. When the seven seals were broken, we found ourselves looking at the course of history, and at first it was difficult to say whether the events were of God or of the devil, but more and more there appeared the contours of planned evil in it all. When the seven trumpets blew, we discovered that behind the outward fashion of history and all its parade of evil powers, the real forces were quite different, the power of the Cross, the Word of God, the prayers of the saints, and the prayers of God\u2019s people. Now we see that, shot through them all, are the judgments of God upon the defiant pride of godlessness. From this angle the history of the world is seen to be the history of God\u2019s judgment upon it.\nIn order to make that quite clear we are given in the short fifteenth chapter a vision which places us in the right perspective to see the outpouring of divine wrath. It is as though St. John would say: Only from the angle of triumphant thankfulness can we look upon destructive judgment. There is indeed no judgment of divine wrath that is purely destructive in its intention, but lest we should think so, we must get God\u2019s angle of vision, see the wrath from His side, and learn that throughout all is the purpose of love and redemption. That may be difficult for us to do as long as we are earth bound and can only look out with fear and terror upon the judgments that shatter the earth. But this vision is given in order to teach us that while our view is distorted by proximity to the terrible things, that view is the true one which the redeemed have who look down upon it all and burst into thankfulness and praise.\nThe significant fact here is the sea of glass mingle with fire\u2026: of glass, because the judgments of God are crystal clear and they pierce down to the dark depths of iniquity and nothing is hidden from its searching light: mingled with fire, for our God is a consuming fire in the passion of His holy love, and at last all the sin of humanity that has gone to the making of the anarchy and wickedness that have covered the earth will perish for ever in the heat of the burning. But this is the fire that consumes and yet does not consume away, for ti is the fire of holy love that burns the dross and refines the silver. At last we shall have again the vision of a crystal sea perfectly reflecting in its unsullied transparence the pure love of the heavenly Father.\nDevotional, Eschatology, Judgment of God, Love of God, Preaching, Prophets & prophecy, Revelation, Sin and evil, Sovereignty of God, T.F. Torrance\nThe Mystery of Iniquity (T.F. Torrance on Revelation 13)\n5 February 2017 18 February 2017 Jonathan Kleis3 Comments\nAnd I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads \u2026 And the beast was given a mouth uttering haughty and blasphemous words, and it was allowed to exercise authority for forty-two months. It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling, that is, those who dwell in heaven. Also it was allowed to make war on the saints and to conquer them. And authority was given it over every tribe and people and language and nation, and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain before the foundation of the world. If anyone has an ear, let him hear: If anyone is to be taken captive, to captivity he goes; if anyone is to be slain with the sword, with the sword must he be slain. Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.\nArtwork by Chris Koelle, The Book of Revelation\nSurely this is the Word of God to us out of this chapter. There is such a seething evil in the sea of humanity that no matter how much we try to give Christian shape to this world apart from Christ Himself, all that we may do is to give a fresh disposition to the forces of evil among men. Sooner or later that latent evil will break out through the surface and reveal itself in bestial form and all the world will be aghast at it. It will hypnotize them and fascinate them until they are thoroughly deceived.\nLet us make no mistake. No amount of reshuffling can put a truly Christian shape on the world. No amount of international discussion, no amount of diplomatic arrangements, no United Nations policy can really imprint a Christian pattern and character upon the world apart from the Gospel of salvation. If the nations do not give Christ pre-eminence, they are bound to fail in their efforts for peace. They may succeed for a time. They may erect a semblance of Christian rule among the peoples of the earth. They may appear to imprint the lineaments of the Kingdom of God upon the races of humanity. All that can be done apart from Jesus Christ is to give a fresh disposition to unbelief, to give organic and subtle shape to human evil and pride and selfishness. Thus in due time even so-called Christian organizations may easily reveal themselves as part of a many-headed monster of evil, the more monstrous because it is world-wide and bears Christian similitude\u2026 Our Lord warned us that whenever people say, \u201cHere is the Kingdom of God,\u201d or \u201cThere is the Kingdom of God,\u201d not to believe them, for the Kingdom of God does not come with observation. It would be blasphemy to confound the Kingdom of God with the bestial images of world power.\nWe must learn, therefore, not to put our trust in any human image, no matter how marvellous and how Christian it may appear to be. Let us not drag the Kingdom of God down to the patterns and politics of this strange evil world. Let us rather hold fast to the Word of God, the Word that promises a new heaven and a new earth. As yet the Kingdom of God is invisible, unobservable, except to the eye of faith, but God is working. We may understand but little of God\u2019s strange work in history. All that we are able to see may be the beastly shapes of human pride and lust for power rampant in the earth, but one day these weird and crooked patterns will pass away and the promise of God will be revealed as perfectly fulfilled.\nThat applies to our own heart and life as well. Let us not confuse the Kingdom of God with this or that image or pattern in our own life. Our life is hid with Christ in God. The day will come, said Jesus, when we shall learn the truth about ourselves and about the world and we shall be surprised. But we must keep our eyes fixed entirely upon Him. He is the only Image of God, and the true Image of man. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Author and the Finisher of our faith, the Creator and the Redeemer of the world. What He has purposed in Creation will not be thwarted. He will redeem it from all its sin and evil. It is only in Jesus Christ that we may discern the truth. He is the guarantee of faith, that the evils forms and perverted patterns of this world shall utterly pass away and at last the human heart, the society and the world in which He lived, will take their full imprint and character from the image of Jesus Christ alone.\nDevotional, Eschatology, Kingdom of God, Preaching, Prophets & prophecy, Revelation, Sin and evil, Sovereignty of God, Spiritual warfare, T.F.

        "raw_content": "January 17, 2013 in Aboriginal and Inuit Mining and Oil/Gas, Canada Mining, Canadian/International Media Resource Articles, Oil and Gas Sector-Politics and Image\nMartin Papillon is an associate professor of political studies at the University of Ottawa.\nSo, they met . . . and promise to talk more. Prime Minister Stephen Harper spent last Friday afternoon discussing treaty rights, land claims and economic development with Assembly of First Nations representatives.\nThe problem is, despite the good will of those involved, we know the impact of these high level discussions will be limited. The reason is quite simple: Real substantive change in the relationship between First Nations and Canada will have to involve provincial governments.\nProvinces, not the federal government, are responsible for the management of public lands, natural resources, education, health care and many other key policy areas at the core of First Nations demands. This won\u2019t be easy. First Nations, many of whom have signed treaties with the Crown, are reluctant to engage in formal relations with provinces.\nTreaties, they argue, established a nation-to-nation relationship with the Crown in Right of Canada, not the provinces. From their standpoint, provincial engagement is a denial of their unique status and a step toward assimilation into the broader framework of Canadian citizenship.\nThis view is reinforced by the broad constitutional responsibility for \u201cIndians and land reserved for the Indians\u201d bestowed to the federal government in 1867. This unique responsibility was reaffirmed in a recent court decision on the status of M\u00e9tis.\nTo be fair, provinces have contributed to the general mistrust of First Nations. On the one hand, they are reluctant to provide basic programs and services for First Nations on and off reserves, arguing that it is up to the federal government to live up to its constitutional responsibility.\nOn the other hand, provincial governments are eager to expand their authority on traditional aboriginal lands to facilitate natural resources extraction development. Provinces, the saying goes, want nothing to do with First Nations and other aboriginal peoples, but everything to do with their lands.\nThis situation is compounded by the lack of leadership by the federal government in terms of assuming its own constitutional responsibilities and treaty commitments. The striking passivity of the current government in the face of the growing crisis is barely surprising. Governance by stealth is nothing new in federal aboriginal policy.\nIt may be time for everyone to take a deep breath, sit down and talk. The federal-provincial division in responsibilities over First Nations made sense from a colonial perspective 100 years ago. In the era of aboriginal rights and self-determination, it doesn\u2019t anymore.\nFor the rest of this column, please go to the Toronto Star website: http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorialopinion/article/1316095\u2013provinces-need-to-be-at-negotiating-table-with-natives\nMining taxes provide benefits for all of Ontario society",

        "raw_content": "santo and soldierboy\nSome stuff happened tonight that brought to my mind memories of this one time before. No, not in band camp. And no flutes or any other sort of musical instruments put places that they shouldn\u2019t be. This is just about\u2026this one time. Period.\nI said before that I\u2019ve had three \u201cI Love You\u201d relationships. This is the story of the one that almost was, but wasn\u2019t.\nOnce upon a time\u2026oh, about four years ago, I had (well, I STILL have, but at that point had just met) a dear friend whom we\u2019ll call Santo. We\u2019re using made up names here in order to protect the innocent from the NOT-so-innocent, which really is what Santo was. Is. But that\u2019s another blog.)\nAt any rate, Santo and I met through mutual friends. We were both dating people and so never dated until years later (for about a minute. Maybe a minute and a half), but this story is not about Santo, he is simply the means to an end in this particular tale from 2N\u2019s past. Sit back and enjoy, because most of this here blog site is all about me NOW, not me THEN.\nSanto had a friend. This friend\u2019s name was\u2026oh, gee. Let\u2019s call him Dreyfus. No wait, that was after it was over. How about\u2026just SoldierBoy.\nNearby where I live, there\u2019s an Army Base called Fort Lewis. It\u2019s just south of Tacoma. Both Santo and SoldierBoy were in the Army. At the time I met them, they had about a year to go until discharge. A year can seem like a really, really long time when you\u2019re newly single, free, and loving your independence. When you\u2019re drinking far, far too much and enjoying your new apartment so much, and so loudly, that you get the threat of eviction on almost a monthly basis. If not more frequently.\nSoldierBoy and Santo were pretty much inseparable. And since Santo and I hung out all the time, especially once he dumped the rich-bitch girlfriend type, it was inevitable that SoldierBoy and I would meet.\nI hated him. Seriously.\nHe was short, bald, and NOISY. I mean, I\u2019m noisy, okay? It goes with the DMH territory. But he was even louder, even more drunkish, and even more mouthy than I could ever hope to be even on my most DMHish of days. Seriously, people, the boy was loud.\nSomehow, he grew on me. It was either that or stick a fork in his eye, for real. He was around all the time. He came over for parties, I saw him at my favorite dive bars, he was always around.\nOne night, when another one of Santo\u2019s friends was visiting from New Jersey, I threw a party. It was the friend\u2019s idea to play drinking games. If you\u2019ve been reading for a while, you can probably guess that I can\u2019t pass up a good drinking game. If you just started reading, you should know: I can\u2019t pass up a good drinking game.\nTo get back to my point, things, well, happened. If you know what I mean. It was wierd. It was extremely comfortable. It was something that happened because we were two young people having a good time and not worrying about tomorrow, or the day after, or the day after that, or the six months after THAT when he would go home. We just enjoyed what we had while we had it. I never thought that anything would develop, it was just fun, right?\nTo make a long story just a little bit longer, we were inseparable. We hung out all the time. I visited the barracks, which is an experience I hope NEVER to repeat again, and we hung out while we did laundry. It was free there. We went camping. We went shopping. We went out together. He was short, he was occasionally irritating, but he had a good heart and he was brave, and compassionate, and he made me feel cherished. Valued.\nHe met my son. They became good friends. They played at the park while I took pictures of their smiling faces. I toyed with the idea that maybe, those six months would last forever and I could stay right here, in this moment, for a long time. Just taking pictures of my son and this man, enjoying the sunshine and the jungle gym.\nIn the back of my mind, I recognized that the end of our time was coming closer and closer but I refused to see it, I refused to pay attention. Remember \u201cI\u2019ll think about that tomorrow?\u201d Yeah, just like that. JUST like that.\nI never told him I loved him.\nI had a business trip the week that he was leaving. He drove me to the airport and I knew that when I got back, he would already be gone, back to Michigan. He had his family, and a kid, and all manner of Jerry Springer-type drama waiting for him. In all likelihood I would never see him again.\nI remember standing there in that airport, knowing that although I was the one leaving, it was he who was truly gone. We clung to each other like the end of the world was happening around us and the only way to stop it was to just hold on, just hold on that little bit longer, just keep holding on.\nWe held each other even when someone yelled at us to get a room, get a room, laughing like he\u2019d said something so uproariously witty that people should overlook the fact that he was (perhaps unknowingly) mocking someone else\u2019s pain.\nWe both cried, without shame. We kissed through the tears until finally he broke away and took a step back, just looking at my face. He reached out one hand and wiped a tear off my cheek. Took another step back, then another. I stood there and watched him walk away and I thought my heart would break. I sat down on a seat and I bawled my eyes out. I wanted to run screaming after him\u2026Wait! Wait! Just one last time, please, just once more, just hold me in your arms one last time, because I think I\u2019m going to die right now if I just let you walk away.\nI watched him leave, and I cried. I didn\u2019t regret what had happened with us. I just wish it didn\u2019t have to hurt when it was over.\nDoesn\u2019t life just suck sometimes? Sometimes, it just does.\nI learned stuff though. I learned that sometimes, timing is everything. And that everyone comes into your life, whether it\u2019s for a minute, or an hour, or a day, or the rest of your life, that they bring you something that no one else will. The challenge is to find it, and hold on to it, and remember it later. Because eventually, things change and people leave, and all you have left is the memory of how it was, once.\nAnd then, years later, something will happen that reminds you of that time, and what else can you do?\nYou blog about it.\nTags: love, missed opportunities, relationships, saying goodbye, summer love\nPrevious postlfb: a day in the life\nNext posthow 2n almost drowned (or, \u201chow the family and the drinkslinger are my heroes\u201d)",

        "raw_content": "RT.com / RT projects / Russiapedia / Of Russian origin / Russian Imperial Duma\nOf Russian origin: Russian Imperial Duma\nPeter Stolypin addresses the State Duma.\nRussian imperial Duma 1906-1917\nRussia entered the 20th century as the only major European power without a parliament.\nThe Tsar was responsible for all key decisions, personally chairing the Cabinet of Ministers that could only recommend, but had no formal power to implement new laws. A slightly bigger group, the State Council, which consisted of nobles hand-picked by the monarch himself, worked on the specifics of legislation.\nBoth the appearance of the parliament, known as the Duma, and its operation until the Revolution of 1917, cannot be considered as natural occurrences, but only within the context of the upheaval that the Russian Empire faced in its last years.\n1905 was a disastrous year for the Russian autocracy. The country suffered a series of humiliating defeats in a relatively unimportant, yet hugely expensive and unpopular war against Japan, losing two of its major fleets and becoming the first European great power to be defeated by an Asian country. More importantly, a strike at an armaments plant in St. Petersburg over the illegal firing of four workers turned into a citywide protest that culminated in hundreds of thousands marching towards the Tsar\u2019s residence at Winter Palace with a petition demanding better working conditions. What was intended to be a peaceful protest turned into a massacre, as the guards of Tsar Nicholas II met the protesters with fire. The number of victims varies significantly from source to source, from a couple hundred to almost five thousand, but the most likely number of those killed in the January 5th massacre was a little over 1 000 people dead and 5 000 injured.\nBloody Sunday. Shooting workers near the Winter Palace. Painting by Ivan Vladimiriv.\nChristened Bloody Sunday, the slaughter served as the flashpoint for the start of a full-scale revolt across the country. Peasants seized land, workers downed their tools, and soldiers mutinied. Over the course of 1905 more than half of all industrial workers in Russia went on strike. By October, the railways stopped operating and the huge landmass became paralyzed.\nAlthough the Crown managed to quell the protests with brute force, eventually it had no choice but to offer a compromise.\nThe October Manifesto, written by Sergey Witte, the Chief Minister, promised freedom of speech, assembly and religion, but most importantly the election of a new parliament \u2013 the Duma (from the Russian verb dumat\u2019 - to think).\nFirst Duma\nFirst Duma. Winter Palace, 1906\nUntil 1905 any assembly of political character were prohibited. With the new legislation, some of the underground parties that existed illegally, such as the Marxist Bolsheviks, were able to emerge from the political netherworld of secretive meetings and battles with undercover police agents. Others, such as the liberal-left Kadets were created within weeks of the Manifesto (the Octobrist party even took their name from it). A few, such as the radical populist Socialist-Revolutionary Party, boycotted the election, claiming that the new Duma simply co-opted the opposition.\nSuffrage for the election was universal for men aged 25 and over (except soldiers, former revolutionaries and students). But not all votes were weighed equally. All of Russian classes \u2013 the peasants, the urban population, industrial workers and landowners were to elect their own representatives, in different proportion to the actual number of voters. In some places the vote of one landowner was worth that of fifty peasants.\nDespite the limited franchise, elections in March 1906 produced a Duma that was led by the center-left Kadets and workers\u2019 parties espousing openly socialist principles.\nNot entirely coincidentally, just as the first Duma was about to convene, the Tsar published the Fundamental Law. Contrary to the spirit of the October Manifesto, the law reasserted that the Tsar had absolute power, and could veto any laws passed by the Duma.\nAnd veto them he did. Nicholas II said that signing the October Manifesto made him \u201csick with shame\u2026 at the betrayal of the dynasty\u201d, as he had no intention of becoming a constitutional monarch. On the first day of the Duma\u2019s existence the monarch turned up in lavish ceremonial garb, in contrast to many of the deputies who were themselves former peasants.\nAware that they had no chance of passing any meaningful reform, the Duma became increasingly strident in its anti-Tsarist rhetoric, with some former supporters of the constitutional monarchy calling for a republic. The parliament voted for and passed laws that had no chance of being accepted by the Tsar and his government.\nAfter 42 days in which the sides grew only further apart, Nicholas II had enough and dismissed the Duma.\nIn protest, the Kadets and their left-wing allies retreated to the Northern town of Vyborg where they signed a radical anti-monarchical manifesto. The Vyborg Appeal called for Russians to stop paying taxes, to refuse to join the army and display other forms of passive resistance.\nThe Vyborg Appeal did not cause the Russian people to rise up in protest. But it did allow the new Prime Minister, Pyotr Stolypin to arrest the leaders of the Kadets and to ban them from taking part in the election for the Second Duma.\nThe Second State Duma. Meeting of the press representatives on the distribution of seats in the Duma in the Mariinsky Palace. February 14, 1907\nSecond Duma\nWith the Kadets weakened, the Tsar and Stolypin hoped that a new election would provide them with a more malleable parliamentary assembly.\nInstead, the votes went to even more radical parties, such as the socialist Mensheviks and the Socialist-Revolutionary Party which opportunistically ended their boycott of parliamentary politics.\nWhile Stolypin wanted the Duma to become a functional government body, the increasingly fractured chamber could not find consensus within itself or with the Tsar. Stolypin\u2019s offers of improved civil and worker\u2019s rights, and local government reform were met with counter-demands and protestations against Stolypin\u2019s heavy-handed law and order tactics.\nThe Second Duma lasted less than four months before it was also dissolved by the Tsar in June 1907.\nThe Third Duma.\nThird and Fourth Dumas\nAware that he was unlikely to get the Duma he wanted, Prime Minister Stolypin went for the easier option. He radically changed the franchise. Now, the vote was put in the hands of the landowners and property owners.\nThe result was called The Duma of Lords and Lackeys \u2013 a puppet parliament that never caused any problems for the Prime Minister and the Tsar, and served its full five year term.\nIts successor was elected in 1912. The fourth Duma was very often in the opposition to the Tsar, both before WWI and during its course. On February 25, 1917, Nicholas II signed a decree, dissolving the Duma, but it didn\u2019t obey. A center of the opposition, the Duma played one of the key roles in the Bourgeois Revolution of 1917; its member s were the ones to later form the Provisional Government. The Duma was dismissed by the Provisional Government on October 6th, 1917.\nThe Fourth State Duma. Duma deputies on board a warship. May 5, 1913\nThese Dumas were not entirely ineffective, and produced hundreds of laws, some of which, such as the Land Reform, helped Russia modernize, while others, such as enforced Russification, produced a less favorable response. What they singularly failed to do, however, was to establish the seed of democracy in Russia, and to provide a representative vent for the rising tensions within the rapidly industrializing country. And in the end, those tensions found their way out \u2013 in the October Socialist Revolution of 1917.\nGirya A girya is a Russian weight made of cast iron.

        "title": "Mi Virgencita Morena | Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation",
        "raw_content": "Mi Virgencita Morena\nVivian Cabrera\nSince moving to Canada, I\u2019ve met quite a variety of people from all over the world, most of them Catholic. We go through the usual motions - \u2018What\u2019s your name? What do you do? Are you from Toronto? You\u2019re from Texas? Oh your parents are Mexican?' - etc. etc. And shortly after the \u2018Mexican parents\u2019 thing, one thing always comes up - Our Lady of Guadalupe. It\u2019s usually followed by \u2018I\u2019ve visited her shrine with my family once!\u2019 or \u2018I love Guadalupe!\u2019\nFor some time though, I found that to be really weird. \u2018How could you like Our Lady of Guadalupe? She\u2019s Mexican!\u2019 I would think, as if claiming her to only belong to the Mexican people and not accessible to anyone else. It\u2019s odd, I know. Mary belongs to everyone (that\u2019s kind of the point) so I can\u2019t claim her. But the miraculous story of Guadalupe tells something different, something that makes my claim that La Virgen Morena is mine not so absurd.\nOn December 9, 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared for the first time to a 57-year-old native Mexican peasant. Our Lady of Guadalupe, as she came to be known, appeared to Juan Diego as a morenita, a mestiza. She appeared to him in a way that wouldn\u2019t scare him but instead helped him to understand that she was one of his own. And when it came time to prove to the Bishop that she indeed was who she said she was, she imprinted an image of herself on his tilma, his cloak. Fr. Thomas Rosica, in his reflection on Our Lady of Guadalupe, says:\n\u201cFor the Indian cultures of that time, the tilma was the exterior expression of the innermost identity of the person. By being visible on Juan Diego\u2019s tilma, Mary became imprinted in the deepest recesses of his heart \u2013 and in the hearts of all who come to her.\u201d\nTo find proof of this, you need not look further than any Mexican household. Chances are, they grew up in a culture that emphasizes that family is first. Chances are, the center of their family was grandma\u2019s house. And, chances are, grandma\u2019s house probably had a shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe. (I say this from experience. There were AT LEAST 10 statues of Our Lady in my grandma's house). Heck, even as we lead into the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, I can tell you that my grandma, who has lived in the United States for years, is in Mexico right now getting ready to celebrate one of the most important feast days of the year with her pueblo. That\u2019s how I grew up and that\u2019s how it\u2019s always been.\nAnd maybe it goes beyond that. Maybe we feel that Our Lady of Guadalupe is one of our own because when we look at her, in all her mestizo beauty, we see our own mothers, aunts and grandmas, glowing, beautiful and pregnant. We feel the same warmth and love in Our Lady that we felt growing up in our homes simply because Our Lady looks like one of us and we find that comforting. She is a morenita, she is our Virgencita Morena.\nNow that I\u2019m a bit older, I understand that as the Patroness of the Americas, she belongs to all Americans (North, South, Latin, Central). And because she is Mary, she belongs to us all, as our Mother.\nThis feast day will always be a special one for me. Guadalupe is why I was raised Catholic and why I've decided to continue to be Catholic. My grandma's devotion to Our Lady is what I admire most about her and I sure hope I can be the same kind of grandma to my grandchildren that she was to me. Our Lady of Guadalupe is so ingrained in the Mexican/Mexican-American culture, it will be an honour to pass it on to the generations that come after me.\nTo learn more about Our Lady of Guadalupe check out the new Knights of Columbus film Guadalupe: The Message and the Miracle airing on Saturday, December 12, 2015 at 9 pm ET only on Salt + Light!\nVivian Cabrera is a displaced Texan living in Canada.

These projects would drill through Santa Maria Groundwater Basin, the largest aquifer in the county, and use cyclic steam injection, which causes 4x as much air pollution as traditional drilling, and has a very high well casing failure and spill rate. These projects will turn water into toxic waste, which can contaminate local water and is difficult to dispose of safely, threaten endangered species, and would involve clear-cutting 500 mature oak trees.

Douglas, Sierra Club v. Morton (1972)\nDenver, Colorado\u2013In a first-in-the-nation lawsuit filed in federal court, the Colorado River is asking for judicial recognition of itself as a \u201cperson,\u201d with rights of its own to exist and flourish. The lawsuit, filed against the Governor of Colorado, seeks a recognition that the State of Colorado can be held liable for violating those rights held by the River.\nThe Plaintiff in the lawsuit is the Colorado River itself, with the organization Deep Green Resistance \u2013 an international organization committed to protecting the planet through direct action \u2013 filing as a \u201cnext friend\u201d on behalf of the River. The River and the organization are represented in the lawsuit by Jason Flores Williams, a noted civil rights lawyer and lead attorney in a recent class-action case filed on behalf of Denver\u2019s homeless population.\nWhile this is the first action brought in the United States which seeks such recognition for an ecosystem, such actions and laws are becoming more common in other countries. In 2008, the country of Ecuador adopted the world\u2019s first national constitution which recognized rights for ecosystems and nature; over three dozen U.S. municipalities, including the City of Pittsburgh, have adopted similar laws; and courts in India and Colombia have recently recognized that rivers, glaciers, and other ecosystems may be treated as \u201cpersons\u201d under those legal systems.\nServing as an advisor to the lawsuit is the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), a nonprofit public interest law firm which has previously assisted U.S. municipalities and the Ecuadorian government to codify legally enforceable rights for ecosystems and nature into law.\nAttorney Flores-Williams explained that \u201ccurrent environmental law is simply incapable of stopping the widescale environmental destruction that we\u2019re experiencing. We\u2019re bringing this lawsuit to even the odds \u2013 corporations today claim rights and powers that routinely overwhelm the efforts of people to protect the environment. Our judicial system recognizes corporations as \u201cpersons,\u201d so why shouldn\u2019t it recognize the natural systems upon which we all depend as having rights as well? I believe that future generations will look back at this lawsuit as the first wave of a series of efforts to free nature and our communities from a system of law which currently guarantees their destruction.\u201d\nDeanna Meyer, a member of Deep Green Resistance and one of the \u201cnext friends\u201d in the lawsuit, affirmed Flores-Williams\u2019 sentiments, declaring that \u201cwithout the recognition that the Colorado River possesses certain rights of its own, it will always be subject to widescale exploitation without any real consequences. I\u2019m proud to stand with the other \u201cnext friends\u201d in this lawsuit to enforce and defend the rights of the Colorado, and we\u2019re calling on groups across the country to do the same to protect the last remaining wild places in this country and beyond.\u201d\nThe lawsuit seeks recognition by the Court that the Colorado River Ecosystem possesses the rights to exist, flourish, regenerate, and restoration, and to recognize that the State of Colorado may be held liable for violating those rights in a future action. The complaint will be filed in the US District Court of Colorado on Tuesday.\nLaw Office of Jason Flores-Williams\nThomas Linzey, Executive Director, CELDF\nPosted in The Solution: Resistance, Indirect Action, Lobbying\t| Leave a comment\nSeptember Book Club Meeting Recap\nThe fifth meeting of the DGR Santa Barbara book club was held on Sunday, September 10th at the Santa Barbara Eastside Library. We discussed chapters 7 through 11 of Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet.\nThe discussion began by investigating approaches to unite environmentalists in effective action. The corporate PR campaign for \u201cgreen\u201d energy has co-opted the environmental movement; instead of fighting to save the planet and its inhabitants, many environmentalists with good intentions have been seduced into lobbying for industrial technologies that perpetuate a global system of extraction and exploitation. One person presented the idea that we might be more efficient in forming coalitions if we focus on organizing around anti-fossil fuel efforts because most people can agree on that. In the long run, anti-fossil fuel actions will be anti-industry (i.e. wind energy, solar energy, etc.) as industry depends on fossil fuels for extraction, global shipping, manufacturing, and construction.\nWe also talked about increasing the effectiveness of local movements. A long-time Santa Barbara activist explained that although Santa Barbara might appear progressive to outsiders, the city is actually governed by powerful real-estate and oil production corporate interests. Although these institutions have way more money and influence than any grassroots organization, locals have been able to make an impact through several tactics:\n1) Crowds of people in the streets scares those in power.\n2) Hounding politicians at City Council meetings and other settings where working-class interests are not properly represented disrupts business as usual in favor of our community.\n3) Bad publicity for and spotlighting questionable behavior of local politicians influences them to act like decent human beings.\nContemporary media outlets have transformed the public\u2019s view of \u201cradical\u201d politics to be extremist, but this simply isn\u2019t the case. The true definition of the word radical is simply getting to the root of the issue. In practice, this means it is not enough to treat the symptoms; we need to identify and target the source of power for oppressive systems. As we discussed at the meeting, this almost always means that dismantling systems of exploitation will be uphill battles because the disparity in social power between intersecting social classes of people is enormous, and it is only growing. Therefore, we must use a variety of tactics that best suit our situation. The dogmatic belief that actions in and of themselves are good or bad is crippling to political movements.\nThe meeting concluded with sharing stories about horizontal hostility (when those within the same social class waste energy fighting each other instead of their common oppressor class). This is a widespread problem in the Santa Barbara area. A few attendees shared their firsthand experiences with backbiting during their years in Santa Barbara. Whatever the exact cause for such hostilities, whether it be competing egos, defensive posturing, or quick tempers, the effects are detrimental to activists who work to create material change in their communities.\nComing Together Weekend Retreat\n\u201cIt\u2019s time to welcome fall, fantasize about the government and political system we wish we had, expand our network and contribute to a better understanding of the many socio-economic, racial and cultural groups in the Santa Barbara area.\u201d\nSee this Facebook event for more details: https://www.facebook.com/events/332681980511742/.\nThe retreat is FREE but the organizers are asking for voluntary donations to pay for food/drink and to provide compensation for the facilitators.

We discussed chapters 5 & 6 of Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet. The following questions were posed before the meeting to inspire discussion:\n1) Do you agree with the 4 points preceding the sections entitled \u201cTilters, Descenders, Lifers\u201d? Why or why not?\n2) In your opinion, what are the important takeaways from the \u201cTilters, Descenders, Lifers\u201d section?\n3) How did the \u201cTaxonomy of Action\u201d chart affect how you think about political action and strategy, if at all?\nEveryone at the meeting agreed with the four points at the beginning of Chapter 5: in order to avoid ecological catastrophe, the burning of fossil fuels has to stop, all activities that destroy living communities must forever cease, human consumption must be scaled back, and the human population must be reduced. The discussion reflected on how the last two points might be hard to digest for many people given the dominant paradigm, especially considering how efforts to thwart overpopulation are so closely associated with violent totalitarian regimes.\nThe discussion continued with people sharing their conclusions about Tilters, Descenders, and Lifers. All three groups focus on preserving privilege rather than human rights and a liveable planet, and any solution produced by the three groups actually only makes things worse mostly through propagating extraction, hoarding resources, and obstructing efforts to directly confront systems of power. We shouldn\u2019t protect systems of power that destroy the planet; we should dismantle them.\nThe Taxonomy of Action chart displays a list of actions according to the inverse relationship between how risky an action is and how many people are required to complete it. It is completely factual and absent of assigned values. For this reason, the chart acts as a great preliminary guide to planning political actions. The discussion at this point focused on the participants\u2019 perspectives of violent and nonviolent actions, and how these are defined. Acts of sabotage against pipelines sparked discussion on the effectiveness of one action versus a series of actions, and what an effective reaction by authority figures might look like.\nAugust Book Club Meeting\nOur next meeting is on August 19th at 2:00PM at the Santa Barbara Eastside Library. This meeting will cover Chapter 5: Other Plans and Chapter 6: A Taxonomy of Action. We encourage anyone interested in the book club to join us, even if you did not attend the previous meetings.\n1) Do you agree with the 4 points preceding the section entitled \u201cTilters, Descenders, Lifers\u201d? Why or why not?\nThe entire book is available online here: https://deepgreenresistance.org/support-us/deep-green-resis\u2026",

        "raw_content": "Previous post: Disability? embrace it\nNext post: Struggles of a learning disability\nThroughout my lifetime I have learned many things that have not only strengthened my friendships but made me a happier person in general. Here are few life lessons I have learned so far:\nFriendships aren\u2019t everything- If a friend is making you feel bad about yourself, they aren\u2019t worth your time. There is no sense in hanging out with someone who just cares about themselves. Friendships are a two-way street if they can\u2019t meet you the other half way it probably won\u2019t work.\nResearch- The Internet makes it so easy to quickly get information but that doesn\u2019t mean that information is always accurate. Never believe everything you read on google because not all of it will be true do the proper research so you can get correct accurate information!\nThere is no shame in being wrong- Yes, everyone is wrong from time to time. Don\u2019t be that person that feels like they have to be right all the time because no one is.\nGo to bed early- If you go to bed early then you will get up earlier and will get more done the next day allowing you to be more productive.\nAccept change- No one like change, but you need to learn to accept it because it\u2019s bound to happen. If you have a better attitude about it it will make it a lot easier and make you alot happier.\nDon\u2019t strive for perfection- No one is perfect, so stop trying to be. It takes too much energy to try to make everything perfect. You will be a much happier person if you just accept you will make mistakes.\nBe kind- If you see someone that is struggling with something help them. Volunteer work is also a great way to help a lot of people in the community if you have time for it.\nYour health is your wealth- Like anything else, you need to take care of your health physical and mental!\nDon\u2019t do things that make you unhappy- If something that is meant to be fun isn\u2019t anymore, just stop doing it. You don\u2019t have to continue anything you don\u2019t enjoy(I\u2019m not talking about things like maintaining mental or physical health, that is not always meant to be fun)\nDeclutter- Do you have a bunch of stuff you don\u2019t even use? Get rid of it! People that are very disorganized tend to have more stress than people that are very organized.\nDon\u2019t fall out with friends over politics- It\u2019s so stupid to lose friends over politics. If you have differences and simply can\u2019t talk politics without an argument, just choose a different topic.\nTravel- Yes, I would love to travel the world, in reality, I can\u2019t. In all honesty, the only people that really travel the world are people that do it for a living. Most people visit cool places but don\u2019t travel the world.\nThese are just a few life lessons that I have learned over the course of my life. What life lesson have you learned? I would love to hear them please leave them in the comments below.\nlifestyle happiness life lessons lifestyle blogger",

I have a strong desire to be a teacher at the elementary level, and impact students\u2019 lives everyday, just as they will impact me. Ideally, those students will be fifth graders! I feel that the Lord has called me to a vocation of teaching, and has laid a passion for fifth grade students on my heart. I want to be able to reach the students that are the farthest away from the mainstream of the American education system, as well as those students who are either right on track or even exceeding grade-level expectations. Thankfully, my education at Colorado Christian University is equipping me with exactly what I will need to do just that. This toolbox is a compilation of the resources and strategies that have made a particular impact on the future teacher in me, while enrolled in Diversity and Differentiated Instruction (INT-381) and Urban School Field (EDU-316).\nThe class, Diversity and Differentiated Instruction, is designed to be a study of differentiated learning and instructional strategies and their application to diverse populations of students. Teacher education students identify the unique learning needs of K-12 students and apply best educational practices to differentiate instruction to increase student achievement.\nThe class, Urban School Practicum, is a practicum experience designed to prepare teacher candidates to work with diverse student populations in urban settings. Taken concurrently with INT 381: Diversity and Differentiated Instruction, students apply knowledge and skill gained in the university classroom to identify diverse learner needs in the K-12 urban school and to experience best practice strategies that work and differentiated instructional approaches that increase student achievement.",

        "raw_content": "The World\u2019s Strangest Disappearances\nThe universe is full of peculiar and haunting mysteries. But perhaps nothing is as quietly frightening as having someone simply vanish into thin air. The spookiness it evokes is very real, if only because it absolutely underscores the randomness of life in a way that death alone could not.\nHowever, things become even more bizarre when whole communities seem to disappear, for no discernible reason. History is surprisingly rife with instances of people suddenly evaporating, leaving little trace behind.\nHere are some of the creepiest, uncanny instances of towns vanishing en masse, with little to no explanation.\n1. Lake Anjikuni, Northern Canada\nThe villagers residing in the harsh climate of Lake Anjikuni in Northern Canada have taken on a quasi-mythical status, due to their sudden disappearance in 1930. Despite its rough terrain, it is said that the area was home to a small, but prosperous Inuit community, who sustained themselves economically through fishing. While they were living in perhaps one of the toughest, most remote and frigid areas in the world, the village was said to be home to roughly 2,000 individuals.\nIn addition to their fishing enterprise, the people were known to welcome fur trappers from time to time. Or anyone traveling throughout Canada for that matter, since the village acted as a kind of pit stop for local merchants of all stripes. However, one day in 1930, a local fur trapper by the name of Joe Labelle \u2013 who was apparently friendly with the community in Lake Anjikuni \u2013 made his usual stop there when he found himself greeted by an eerie silence.\nLabelle walked throughout the town, calling out the names of those he knew, wondering where they went \u2013 and he was greeted with a bone-chilling quiet. He walked into abandoned cabins, only to find sewing projects with the needles dangling from them, as though tossed aside suddenly. He found charred meat hanging over the dying embers of fires, and sled dogs who died from starvation. It seemed as though all the villagers vanished without a trace. Labelle rushed to inform local police of the incident, who then embarked on years of investigation, full of dead-end clues.\nNo one could really understand what had happened. Was some kind of animalistic rampage somehow responsible? But human remains were never found. Were the villagers abducted by UFOs, as some have later claimed? Or, perhaps even more disturbing, were they all a figment of Labelle\u2019s imagination? No one truly knows.\n2. The Lost Colony of Roanoke, North Carolina\nAnother settlement that seems to have all but disappeared is the tragic colony of Roanoke, part of what is now commonly known today as Dare County, North Carolina. In 1587, a group of 115 English settlers arrived on the coast, hoping to make a new home for themselves in the new and unexplored terrain in North America. John White, the governor of the colony, decided to go back to England to replenish the town\u2019s supplies, as the surrounding area was still underdeveloped, and resources were scarce.\nUnfortunately, war broke out in Europe, and White\u2019s return to the colony was delayed for three long and terrible years. When he finally returned, White found that, much to his horror, the entire community had vanished without a trace. All that was left was a single human skeleton, and a strange word carved into a nearby wooden post: \u201cCroatoan\u201d. Adding to the trauma was the disappearance of the governor\u2019s entire family, including a newly born granddaughter \u2013 he was left to wander the frightening terrain entirely alone.\nWhat did \u201cCroatoan\u201d mean? White and others who have investigated the disappearance since feel that the word is the key to unlocking the mystery. But no one has been able to find conclusive evidence regarding the whereabouts of the lost colony.\nScientists and historians have tried to explain what happened to the colony for nearly 400 years, but most theories seem to fall apart. It is perhaps very likely that the villagers attempted the treacherous journey back to England when living conditions became too harsh in the island. But this, too, remains inconclusive, as their remains were not found anywhere, nor does it seem as though they were able to make contact with anyone living in England during the war.\nAnother likely theory is that \u201cCroatoan\u201d refers to a local Native American tribe that might have kidnapped the new settlers, and the carved word might have been their way of letting others know what happened. Although the evidence of that actually occurring remains rather sparse.\nPerhaps the settlers moved to another, less deserted area altogether in North America. But why no one contacted the erstwhile governor to let him know \u2013 let alone his own family \u2013 remains a haunting mystery.\n3. The Disappearance of the Roman Ninth Legion\nOne mass vanishing that continues to capture the imagination is that of the Roman Empire\u2019s fearsome Ninth Legion; a militaristic unit of murderous soldiers who suddenly disappeared without a trace.\nTechnically called the Legio IX Hispana, the unit was part of the Imperial Roman Army from the 1st Century BC until most probably AD 120. It was stationed in Britain following the Roman Invasion when all the soldiers suddenly disappeared, falling off the radar entirely.\nWhile the most seemingly probable explanation would be that they were extinguished in battle, no written record verifies that claim. It might have been a surprise attack by a group of Scottish rebels that led to their sudden demise, but this has mainly been the province of popular legend. The most well-known story is that the once mighty military force was completely overrun by local barbarians, subsequently forcing them to run into the dark mists of Caledonia, vanishing forever.\nHistorians continue to research the reasons behind the Ninth Legion\u2019s disappearance, but have been unable to come to a clear-cut conclusion.\n4.The USS Cyclops\nA massive collier built just before the start of WWI, and named after the indestructible Cyclops of Greek mythology, it was thought that this particular ship would be untouchable. But some time in 1918, the USS Cyclops passed near the area now known as the Bermuda Triangle, where it disappeared without a trace \u2013 along with its 300 or so crew members and passengers.\nHistorians are unclear as to what exactly happened to the massive ship. Some believe it may have simply sank during a particularly violent storm, although no human remains or wreckage have ever washed ashore. In all cases, there should have been a signal of some kind, a distress call on the radio, anything. But according to naval records, nothing came through. This is rather astounding given the fact that the ship was bigger than a football field.\nWith an inability to trace any calls or signals given by the Boston-bound ship\u2019s massive crew, its vanishing has given way to all kinds of horrifying conspiracy theories. Giant squids may have destroyed the ship, eating its passengers, or a group of intrepid German spies may have somehow tracked down and captured the ship as part of a sly political bargaining tool since WWI was getting underway. Or, as most are wont to believe, the ship\u2019s sudden disappearance could be served as further evidence of the terrifying and unfathomable pull of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.\nNothing is really clear, and more than 100 years later, people are still speculating as to what exactly happened to the USS Cyclops and its passengers.\n5. Hoer Verde, Brazil\nThis small town in Brazil once housed 600 citizens, who suddenly vanished without a trace. Supposedly a rather bustling \u2013 if tiny \u2013 community, it is thought to have disappeared some time in 1923.\nAs legend would have it, a group of visitors used stopped by the hamlet when they were greeted with an eerie silence. Virtually no one remained. The houses looked as though they were abandoned in a hurry, and food and personal artifacts were left behind untouched. The visitors contacted local law enforcement who subsequently launched an investigation, but could not find any sign of the inhabitant\u2019s whereabouts. One odd clue left behind was a gun that looked as though it had been recently fired, and a cryptic message that read \u201cThere is no salvation.\u201d\nAs disturbing as this may be, no one has been able to confirm what exactly happened in Hoer Verde. Or, if the whole thing was just some elaborate and sick hoax, since the village barely registers on most maps. But then again, who would be twisted enough to come up with such a spooky story, and pass it off as the truth?\nScarier than Death\nWhether or not these disappearances will eventually be explained away by cold, hard facts, they remain cause for fascination. The idea that your entire life and community could some day simply cease to be is terrifying, if only because it calls to mind the very purpose of existence. And, for those poor souls that remain behind, how do they mourn those who are technically dead, or explain the failure of science to themselves? Some things will always remain a mysterious conundrum, never to be solved.\nI am a direct descendant of Annaniase Dare. He and his second wife Elynor Whyte were parents to Virginia Dare, claimed to be the first white child born of European parents. Among our family, we\u2019ve all believed that due to harsh conditions the members of the colony migrated to what is now Cape Hatteras off the Carolina\u2019s. Didn\u2019t no boogie man or UFO or anything like that happened. Rough living happened. And hacking off the First Nations people didn\u2019t help, either. Anyway, there are many blue-eyed Native American people from that area and recent Archeological evidence point to that happening. Us Dares always knew that. Dare is my maiden name. Does make for spooky tales, though.\nScare Street on March 25, 2018 at 7:28 pm\n\u201cWow! Yes, we have been aware of the many theories as to what happened to the colony, and the research that has gone into it. But hearing it from a direct descendant is incredible! Thanks for sharing, and you are very correct\u2026it\u2019s a story that sends shivers up and down your spine \ud83d\ude42",

        "raw_content": "The Classification Problem for Models of ZFC\nSamuel Dworetzky, Boise State UniversityFollow\nSamuel Coskey Ph.D.\nJohn Clemens Ph.D.\nMarion Scheepers Ph.D.\nModels of ZFC are ubiquitous in modern day set theoretic research. There are many different constructions that produce countable models of ZFC via techniques such as forcing, ultraproducts, and compactness. The models that these techniques produce have many different characteristics; thus it is natural to ask whether or not models of ZFC are classifiable. We will answer this question by showing that models of ZFC are unclassifiable and have maximal complexity. The notions of complexity used in this thesis will be phrased in the language of Borel complexity theory.\nIn particular, we will show that the class of countable models of ZFC is Borel complete. Most of the models in the construction as it turns out are ill-founded. Thus, we also investigate the sub problem of identifying the complexity for well-founded models. We give partial results for the well-founded case by identifying lower bounds on the complexity for these models in the Borel complexity hierarchy.\nhttps://doi.org/10.18122/B20H5P\nDworetzky, Samuel, \"The Classification Problem for Models of ZFC\" (2017).

It's the best opening gross of a movie this year (beating Watchmen). Also, horror isn't dead with The Haunting in Connecticut scaring up $23 million in ticket sales.\nNicolas Cage's Knowing dropped a decent 40% with a weekend take of almost $15 million giving the action flick a total gross of $46 million - despite bad reviews.\nI Love You, Man managed another $12,7 million, while the Julia Roberts- Clive Owen heist movie Duplicity banked another $7.5 million for a $25 million total.\nDwayne Johnson's Race To Witch Mountain fell over 50% giving the Disney film a total of $53 million.\nFellow wrestler John Cena misfired with 12 Rounds. The Renny Harlin directed film managed a poor $5 million weekend.\nWatchmen eked out another $2.8 million bringing its total to $103.3 million.\nTaken took another $2.7 million bringing the action pic's gross to a huge $137 million.\nHorror remake The Last House on The Left managed a weekend take of $2.6 million.\n1. The Coen brothers will remake John Wayne's True Grit - the film that won the cinematic legend an Oscar!\nThe film will be based on the book by Charles Portis.\n\"Portis' novel is about a 14-year-old girl who, along with an aging U.S. marshal and another lawman, tracks her father's killer in hostile Indian territory.But while the original film was a showcase for Wayne, the Coens' version will tell the tale from the girl's p.o.v.\"\nSo who will the Coens get to replace Wayne? After all they are big, big boots to fill.\nDidn't they learn their lesson with The Ladykillers?\n2. Val Kilmer believes that we will see a sequel to 2005's action-comedy Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.The star twittered:\n\"RDJ, Jr (Robert Downey Jr) and I talked AGAIN about a Kiss Kiss Bang Bang sequel... Now that he is king of all time and space it will happen.\"\nI hope this is true. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is an exceptional film that didn't get the release that it deserved by Warner Bros. Funny, compelling and extremely well written - you must seek it out.\n3. Matthew McConaughey will take the lead in The Lincoln Lawyer.\n\"The legal thriller that centers on low-level criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller who finds himself representing a wealthy client with ties to a previous murder case Haller handled.\"\nThe film which is based on the book by Michael Connolly will be a return to the leagal thriller genre for the bongo playing star who made his name in Joel Schumacher's adaptation of John Grisham's A Time To Kill.\n4. Tobey Maguire is attached to star in Columbia Pictures' The Limit. According to Variety:\n\"Maguire will star as Phil Hill, who went against his good friend and Ferrari teammate Wolfgang von Trips in the 1961 Drivers Championship.\"\nMaguire will produce the film through his Maguire Entertainment production company.\nI think that it's no coincidence that Maguire's company is set up at the studio that produces the Spider-Man films.\n5. Best friends and Good Will Hunting co-stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon will reunite for a new film next year.\nThe film will start shooting after Damon makes the next Bourne movie. Affleck is apparently mulling over directing duties on the film that was not written by the Oscar winning duo.\nAffleck told Collider:\n\"We have a project but we haven't said what it is just because of lame political money reasons. This is the movie we're going to do together and I think it will be good.\"\n6. Meanwhile, Affleck has been talking up his next directorial effort following the excellent Gone Baby Gone.\n\"I'm directing another movie and I'm going to act in the movie as well. That's a slightly daunting prospect, but we'll see. I'm nervous but excited. It's called The Town - that's the title I'm using now but I'm not sure it'll be that - and it's based on a book called Prince of Thieves by Chuck Hogan. It's based on a true fact that there is this neighborhood in Boston called Charlestown where there are more armed robbers per capita than anywhere else in the world. It's about this group of guys who rob a bank and an armored car.\"\nThat's it for now.

        "title": "'Fifth Estate' Early Reviews & Featurette: Condon, Cumberbatch & The Wikileaks Saga",
        "raw_content": "'Fifth Estate' Early Reviews & Featurette: Condon, Cumberbatch & The Wikileaks Saga\nAnyone concerned that Bill Condon - erstwhile director of the finale to the Twilight franchise and mastermind behind such films as Gods and Monsters and Kinsey - has a one-sided political agenda with his latest film, the Wikileaks/Julian Assange biopic The Fifth Estate, rest assured: his intentions are strictly bipartisan, at least if we take him at his word in the above featurette. Clocking in at just a hair under two and a half minutes, the piece sheds insight not only on Condon's driving motivations in his movie, but those of his leading man, Benedict Cumberbatch, too.\nThe clip's arrival couldn't be more timely: it cropped up on the web yesterday so as to coincide with the opening night of this year's Toronto International Film Festival, where The Fifth Estate (whose title refers to today's alternative media, found online and comprised of self-styled citizen journos) enjoyed its world premiere. While there's little, if any, new footage to be seen here that hasn't already been shown off in the first trailer, there's a great deal of information about the spirit of the production to be gleaned from it nonetheless.\nOne thing's for certain: there are a number of ideas in play with The Fifth Estate. Condon's foremost concern lies in presenting the \"bigger issues\" of Wikileaks' controversies and explore every side of them using the thriller genre as the shell; think The Social Network for Assange and his website. He also explicitly stresses that his film should by no means be taken as documentarian in nature, and he's right to - features such as We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks are likely better resources for those interested in hard facts and history.\nOn the other hand, Cumberbatch and Daniel Bruhl (Inglourious Basterds) describe the narrative as one that's about two friends, Assange and Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Bruhl), collaborating in the name of social justice. Their story is about a meteoric rise to prominence and infamy on a global stage, as well as the fallout of that rapid ascent. This pursuit, however, meets in the middle with Condon's overall goal: everybody participating. From Cumberbatch, Condon, and Bruhl to Laura Linney and Stanely Tucci, everyone has a comment on what The Fifth Estate has to say about journalism in the information age.\nSo it looks like the film has a lot on its mind and seeks to raise a number of points about Wikileaks, Assange, and the impact of civilian vigilance on the flow of data in the world at large. But that leaves us with one much larger question: is The Fifth Estate any good? Having screened last night for an anticipatory TIFF audience, a few early reviews have rolled in, and the general consensus - at least at present - is \"yes\", though with a few caveats. One notable, recurring criticism facing Condon's movie is that it bites off a little bit more than it can chew:\nAny five minutes of foregrounded human interest or backgrounded news material here could easily float a feature on its own. Both the kindest and most damning thing you can say about \u201cThe Fifth Estate\u201d is that it primarily hobbles itself by trying to cram in more context-needy material than any single drama should have to bear.\nSuch tweaks will not get an artistic licence revoked. In fact, in adapting both a book on the affair by Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding, as well as tech activist Daniel Domscheit-Berg's account of working for Assange, The Fifth Estate is a project in whose sources one can place considerable faith. Certainly, Condon does. At times it can feel he's risked coherence for chronology, giving us his own surfeit of data without offering sufficient kit with which we can sift it.\nOn the other hand, some critics found Condon's artistic choices to be forced and distracting, recalling too many of the blunders made in similar fare from the 1990s. Unlike David Fincher, who found a way to make the drama revolving around Facebook's inception compelling, Condon reportedly doesn't quite discover a formula for mining excitement out of scenes of Bruhl and Cumberbatch snooping and hacking away at their keyboards:\nHitFix:\nWriter/director Bill Condon deserves all sorts of respect for trying to figure out a way to make large chunks of this movie more visually dynamic than you'd expect, considering this is largely about people sitting in front of laptops and typing, but he runs into many of the same issues that were part of all the \"computer hacker\" movies in the '90s. The only way you can make this more visually exciting is to try to find a way to make us feel, as an audience, what it feels like to be Assange and Domscheit-Berg as they publish material that they know is going to shake up the status quo, and there are moments where the film captures that quite well. There are other moments where it feels like they just plain push too hard to create a visual metaphor, and it ultimately pulled me out of those scenes instead of allowing me to invest fully in them.\nJoBlo:\nCondon keeps the film moving at a relentless, techno-thriller pace, but again, he manages to prevent it from ever being too confusing or overwhelming. Condon's only real missteps here are stylistic, with too many scenes that try to make typing in chat-rooms exciting cinematically, with the results seeming like something left over from a nineties hacker thriller like HACKERS or THE NET. Superimposing typed messages on faces, and other tricks can't help but feel tacky. The same goes for Condon's frequent use of heavy-handed visual motifs, like the early days of Wiki-Leaks being depicted as an office full of hundreds of Assange's. These cutaways may be interesting visually, but again, feel more than a little contrived and unnecessary (I think less is more visually in movies like this).\nThat said, Condon appears to have succeeded in crafting a provocative thought-piece about the changing relationship between truth and technology, as well as the nature of modern journalism, in the era of the World Wide Web. If The Fifth Estate doesn't achieve total cohesion in terms of plot, then it's sure to get people talking about its subject matter anyways:\nTruth and technology are inexorably intertwined because the medium is the message. Even Condon implicitly acknowledges how his movie has crafted a perception of Assange based on the source material as well as casting, editing, etc. The Fifth Estate isn\u2019t trying to expose the \u201creal\u201d Julian Assange. It\u2019s trying to examine how Assange\u2019s creation has taken our perception of the \u201ctruth\u201d in a bold, new, and controversial direction. The Fifth Estate provides another layer where instead of a lecture on journalism and reporting in the digital age, we get a fun, flashy picture that makes sure we consider the source.\nThere's one thing above all else which everyone readily agrees on, though: Cumberbatch is fantastic as Assange. Maybe The Fifth Estate will be his high water mark for 2013, which all told has kept him incredibly busy to date (Star Trek Into Darkness) and will see him get busier as we draw closer to the year's end (12 Years a Slave, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug). Sounds like he's at the top of his game here.\nThe voice is richly perfect, not just nailing Assange\u2019s droning accent but his tongue-lolling, wet delivery to a tee. An explosion of sweary in-flight rage when he\u2019s hammering at his laptop drenches the seat in front with spit, in just one of countless moments where he\u2019s shown losing his barely existent cool. Assange\u2019s arrogant conviction about the steps he\u2019s taking for mankind is certainly a gift to the actor, but Cumberbatch gives us other gifts back: he makes the role a feast of delusional certainty, with paranoid demons nibbling at it from all sides.\nMore reviews may yet pop up online in the next couple of days, but if not, there's not much time left before The Fifth Estate opens up for general audiences and starts screening for press. For now, the overall impression of the movie is strong, if uneven; it's possible it could spark new discussion about the place of organizations like Wikileaks in the current media landscape. We'll see for ourselves in about a month._____\nThe Fifth Estate arrives in US theaters October 18th, 2013.\nSources listed above\nTags: the fifth estate",

        "raw_content": "Subversive Knitting, Knitting, Writing\nKnitting: hobby or economic imperative?\n06/06/2017 / Donna Druchunas / Subversive Knitting, Knitting, Writing / no comments\nIn the Our Knitting Roots Book Club, we are reading about Orenburg Lace knitters. The topic reminded me of this article that I wrote in 2006, when my book Arctic Lace first came out. So many of the knitting traditions we celebrate today were created to enable women to make money.\nKnitting Softens the Impact as Worlds Collide\nIn Unalakleet, a life-long knitter and author finishes writing an article for the Musk Ox Farm\u2019s newsletter, puts down her pen, and picks up her knitting. Outside, the wind groans as snow drifts in on the air currents from the nearby hills.\nIn St. Mary\u2019s, a young mother yells for her kids to turn down the sound on their X-box video game so she can concentrate on the intricate lace knitting chart she is working from. They come in and ask for a snack of akutaq, or Eskimo ice cream, to tide them over until supper, which will not be served until their father comes home from his job at the local school. She takes a break and whips together a treat made from seal oil, trout, and salmonberries.\nIn Anchorage, a middle-aged woman goes home from work, cooks dinner, and sits down to watch TV. Before she goes to bed, she knits half of a nachaq hood. During the night she dreams of her mother and brother at home in Nightmute.\nThese women, and over two hundred others scattered across the state of Alaska, have been knitting through cultural change for decades. As members of Oomingmak, the Musk Ox Producer\u2019s Co-operative, they knit feather-weight lace using qiviut (kiv\u2019-ee-yoot), the wooly down of the musk ox. Their purpose can be summed up in two words: economic imperative.\nMost knitters today don\u2019t knit to make money. We knit to express our creativity, to entertain ourselves, to make special gifts for our loved ones, and to relax. But all across rural Alaska, knitting is one of the few ways women can make money without abandoning their homes and traditional lifestyle.\nI first learned of the Oomingmak knitters about six years ago when I read an article about the co-op in Piecework magazine. I was so intrigued to learn about these women, that I started on my own journey to learn about their lives, their culture, their knitting, and the qiviut yarn that they knit with. I read literally hundreds of books and magazine articles, spent untold hours surfing the web, and eventually found my way to Alaska to visit the knitters myself. Their story turned out to be more fascinating than I could ever have imagined and my adventure to Alaska changed my life more than I would have guessed.\nFor tens of thousands of years, Eskimo peoples have inhabited the arctic and sub-arctic regions of Alaska. Many of the villages that are home to Yup\u2019ik and Inupiat people today have been inhabited by their ancestors for thousands of years. These people never lived in the ice-igloos so often portrayed in cartoons and children\u2019s books. They built underground houses framed with driftwood or whale bones and covered them with sod. A tunnel below the ground level made a weatherproof entryway, and a single seal skin window in the roof let in the little sunlight available at the beginning and end of the dark winter season. A large central dwelling housed the men and older boys and served as a place for community gatherings and festivals, while smaller single-family dwellings were home to women, girls, and very young boys. Men hunted, and women took over once the animals were brought back to the village. Although they did not spin the fur from any of the animals taken in hunts, they developed amazing skills in needlework, and created beautiful and functional clothing that kept their families warm and dry in the arctic weather.\nKnitting first came to Alaska in the hands of missionaries. Early Russian and European visitors to Alaska found the conditions the Native Alaskans were living in appalling, because their lifestyle was so different than the European expectations. In addition to making trade agreements with the indigenous peoples to collect furs, they felt an obligation to \u201ccivilize\u201d the people they met, introducing them to modern conveniences such as whiskey and iron, as well as converting them to Christianity. They set up churches and schools in the area, and convinced the people to abandon many of their centuries-old traditions for the ways of the white man. The missionaries persuaded the men to abandon the men\u2019s houses, completely changing the family structure and the organization of culture and daily life. When the men moved from the community houses into their family houses, the women were no longer autonomous. Although churches, schools, and trading posts sometimes substituted for community gathering places, they did not provide the links to the past lifestyle that served these people for thousands of years. Missionaries also introduced white-man\u2019s foods such as flower, raisins, and other packaged foods, available year-round for cash, that conflicted with the healthy, seasonal diet of natural foods. The Native way of life was changing, and it was not an easy transition.\nAlong with their religion and customs, however, missionaries brought yarn and knitting needles and put them into the hands of the first Alaskan knitters.\nI learned to knit from a Russian, too, my grandmother. For as long as I can remember, my grandmother always had several projects on the needles. Old black and white photos in my family albums show the sweaters she made for herself and for my mother and uncle before I was born. My grandmother loved to knit and to give the finished projects to her children and grandchildren. For as long as I can remember, my grandmother also had a job. My grandfather had been in poor health for many years, and had to retire early. Grandma worked on the side to make some extra money to keep the refrigerator filled. Although she was a hard worker and never complained, she would never have dreamed of knitting for money, for economic imperative.\nOnce the missionaries introduced knitting to Alaska, it became a popular craft. Although knitting in the past often allowed women to make garments for less money than they cost in the store, it was not always recognized as a way to make money, to generate income. Just as in the lower 48, knitting in Alaska started out as a necessary tool for making clothing, and later became a hobby.\nIn the 1950s a Vermonter named John Teal had a vision to domesticate an animal native to Alaska and to create a cottage industry that would provide income to Native Alaskan people living in villages across the state. Concerned about poverty and education, Teal believed that musk-ox domestication could be a tool for bringing financial security to rural communities in Alaska. With the coming of the cash economy and modern technology Eskimo villages, Teal foresaw that new sources of income would be necessary. While he assumed \u201cthe minority must become acculturated,\u201d he believed that \u201csocial responsibility is recognized, to reduce the cultural chaos inevitably resulting from transition.\u201d After running an experimental farm for ten years in Vermont, he started a full-sized domestication project in Alaska and began working on a plan to develop yarn and products to sell to tourists. By 1968, the farm was considered a success, yarn was being processed, and it was time to start knitting.\nNine women attended the first workshop meetings over the Christmas holidays in Mekoryuk on Nunivak Island, and in the following months, another twenty-one knitters completed the lessons and made qiviut scarves. As other villages became interested, it was soon obvious that the project was going to be a success. Oomingmak, The Musk-ox Producer\u2019s Cooperative was incorporated in 1970. Knitting was becoming a way to help keep the refrigerator full.\nAll of this I learned from books and magazines, as my drive to learn about the Oomingmak knitters led me to the library and the internet. At the time, I was working as a technical writer, creating computer manuals for high-tech corporations. After changing jobs four times in almost as many years, I finally realized that it wasn\u2019t just the job I hated, it was the entire industry. I decided I would rather surround myself with yarn and knitters than computers and engineers. While I was reading about Oomingmak and the Native Alaskan culture, I sent some designs in to magazines. Amazingly the editors liked my work and asked for more. I decided to try my hand at a bigger project and wrote a book of knitting patterns. The first printing sold out in a few months. I began to think I was onto something. Perhaps my obsession with qiviut and Alaska could turn into another book. In 2004, I decided to visit Alaska to learn about the co-op and meet the knitters first hand.\nThe Oomingmak co-op\u2019s headquarters and retail shop are housed in a small building at the corner of 6th and H streets in downtown anchorage. The co-operative is named after the musk-ox, known as the \u201cbearded one\u201d in the Inupiat language. The knitters of Oomingmak use yarn spun from musk ox dow) to make elegant knitted lace and warm colorwork accessories. Airy images of harpoons, native dancers, and butterflies inspired by ancient artifacts hand-knit scarves, nachaqs hood), and caps, and fluffy patterns of snowflakes and musk oxen adorn the colorwork hats and headbands. The shop in downtown Anchorage is headquarters for this enterprise, selling these luxury items to tourists and handling all of the business paperwork and logistics.\nEach member of Oomingmak pays a $2 annual membership fee. Members do not pay for yarn; it is provided by at the co-op\u2019s expense. But they do have to purchase their own knitting needles. Knitters correspond with the co-op primarily by mail. Because few of the knitters live near or in Anchorage and travel in Alaska is quite expensive, the knitters receive their yarn by mail, send back finished items and again, receive more yarn along with their payment.\nThe knitters are paid by the stitch. Each project has a specific number of stitches cast on and a specific number of rows to knit, so the total can easily be calculated. The actual price per stitch changes over time, with inflation but the goal is to give the knitters a fair price, while keeping the cost of the finished items at a price that will not make them seem unreasonable to tourists. At the end of the year, any profit is distributed to the knitters, which each receiving a percentage based on the number of items they knit during the year.\nBecause the knitters of the co-op are doing production knitting, some members get tired of knitting the same thing over and over again. (Many hobbiest knitters can relate, knowing how difficult it can be to finish the second in a pair of socks or mittens!) However, there are many different items that can be knit by each member in the signature pattern of their village, including scarves, stoles and nachaq hoods. There are also several lace hats that are made with designs that can be made by knitters in any village. The colorwork knitters can knit any of the patterns in the Tundra and Snow collection, which includes four different headbands, and six different hats. However, the co-op members knit primarily to make money, not for pleasure. Once they become proficient in knitting a specific pattern, they can knit much faster and more accurately.\nWhile I was in Alaska, I met with Fran Degnan, one of the Oomingmak knitters who lives in the village of Unalakleet. Fran is an inspiring and fascinating woman who is passionate about preserving the environment with both renewable and non-renewable resources for future generations. She lives the traditional Eskimo subsistence lifestyle, yet seems perfectly well suited to moving into the mainstream American culture when necessary to stand up for Native rights in Alaska. Meeting her was the highlight of my trip to Unalakleet. As I was reading Fran\u2019s book, Under the Arctic Sun, I realized that bit-by-bit, one small decision after another, the Yup\u2019ik and Inupiat have been slowly and voluntarily assimilating the white man\u2019s ways. I guess in part it is necessary to have a political voice in our governmental system, to have their voices heard on state and federal decision making committees. In part the convenience is irresistible: electricity, running water, snow machines. Perhaps some technologies and customs were adopted to improve health. But even though Fran and others mention the health benefits on the one hand (clean water and sewer systems, access to modern medical facilities), they prefer the old, natural ways of tradition on the other (not taking drugs, eating fresh and local foods).\nUnalakleet is a medium-sized village of about 600 on the west coast of Alaska. It has a Post Office, a school, two state troopers, and a general store. The only other jobs available are in commercial fishing, which is seasonal work. In a place where high-paying jobs are few and far between, the cost of basic necessities is outrageously high. A pack of hot dogs cost $7, a gallon of milk, $6.99, a quart of apple juice, $4.59, and one pound of low-quality chop meat cost $3.49. In addition, most of the food filling the shelves of the general store is processed and frozen. The selection of fresh, healthy items is all but non-existent. This is true all over the Yukon Kuskokwim River Delta, where most of the knitters from the Oomingmak Co-op live. With so few opportunities to make money and little healthy food available for sale even at high prices, the people there still depend primarily on traditional food gathering techniques for their survival.\nMost of the Yup\u2019ik people who live in the delta work hard to preserve their Native traditions and live off the land, but that does not eliminate the need for cash. Today snow mobiles have largely replaced dog teams for winter transportation and aluminum fishing boats have replaced kayaks for summer travel. Both of these vehicles run on purchased fuel. Traditional fur parkas have been replaced by modern Polar Fleece and ready-to-wear winter clothing. Indoor plumbing, heated houses, and computers have become necessities of life in Eskimo villages, just as they have for the rest of us. These are just a few examples of how modern technologies are being incorporated into the traditional subsistence lifestyle. And all of these things cost money.\nTraditional Yup\u2019ik society was much more egalitarian than today\u2019s free-market culture. Wealth was often redistributed at annual feasts and ceremonies, and families took care of one another in a way that is not common in modern American society. The changes that have come, in many places just over the past 40 or 50 years, have not been easy for many Yup\u2019ik and Inupiat people to accept. They struggle to maintain the important aspects of their culture while adopting modern tools to help them gain a stronger political voice and to make life easier for themselves and their children. Knitting gives women in these villages the ability to make money while they travel to fish camps and berry picking areas in the summer, preserve food for the coming winter each fall, and care for young children or elders throughout the year.\nI had a lot to think about after my trip to Alaska. I wanted to stay longer, but after two weeks of traveling around the state with my husband, who was taking pictures, I ran out of money. When I came home, I started writing my book while I was still working on writing computer manuals. Somewhere between the end of my trip and finishing the manuscript, the excitement about what I was doing got lost in the stress of working two jobs at once. When the deadline for my book came, I was not finished. I had never missed a work deadline before, and I started to worry about what was wrong with me. I went to the doctor, and she said that extreme procrastination could be a sign of depression. Fortunately, recognizing that I had a problem seemed to be my cure and I did not need to take any drugs or go to a therapist. I decided to stop working on computer jobs, even if it meant I would make less than half of the money I\u2019d been used to. If knitting could give me a way to make money with less stress, I was going to try it.\nAlthough all of the knitters in Oomingmak are Native Alaskan women, they a diverse group. Some grew up in sod houses, others never saw igloos (Inupiat for \u201chouse\u201d) as children. Some still go to fish camp every spring, pick berries, and eat native foods almost exclusively. Others have never participated in subsistence activities, or have done so only as children. Today, just as in the lower 48, many women learn to knit from the mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and neighbors, and continue to make clothing for themselves and gifts for friends and family members today. Other knitters learned to knit in workshops presented by Oomingmak, and only knit for extra income. Some knitters remain in their home villages and others have moved to Anchorage for jobs or to attend college. Teens, young mothers, college students, senior citizens and village elders knit for Oomingmak. Bringing in between $15 and $5,000 a year, knitting supplements their family\u2019s income and allows them to continue practicing the subsistence lifestyle of their ancestors while helping provide for the financial needs of their families.\nLife for women in the Alaskan bush is still more difficult than it is for those of us who live in cities, suburbs, and even in rural towns in the lower 48. The knitters of Oomingmak live in small villages scattered across the vast open spaces of Alaska. Each village has a unique history and a distinctive culture blending traditional Yup\u2019ik and Inupiat subsistence activities with modern jobs at local airports, general stores, and public schools. Unemployment is high in most Native Alaskan villages, with seasonal work available on fishing boats and in construction. Many of these jobs are filled men. Knitting provides one way for the women here to help supplement their family\u2019s income.\nAt the beginning of the twenty-first century, the villages along the Bering Sea continue a journey from past to future, merging traditional and modern culture at their own pace, as local elders and community leaders make decisions and instigate changes they feel are best for their people. The knitters of Oomingmak are capturing traditional designs in a modern craft, while providing themselves a way to make money and still participate in their unique and time-honored culture. Their work preserves their cultural heritage and they take pride in the high quality of their fine needlework. As their needles click across Alaska, in cities and rural villages, in living rooms and kitchens, at fish camps and even in boats, the knitters of Oomingmak are answering the call of economic imperative.\nHere at my home in Colorado, knitting gives me a way to escape the mundane world of every day work and explore the world, even when I can\u2019t get on a plane and fly to the Alaskan bush. This year, for the first time, I did not have to take on any computer jobs for money. I no longer spend my days doing work I hate, commuting in traffic to work, putting in long hours to fill the pocket of a rich CEO. I no longer dream of changing my life. Today I am at peace with myself and my work, and I spend my time writing about things I love, things that may help to bring more peace and understanding to the world. Today I also knit to answer the call of economic imperative.\nLongmont, Colorado 11/15/2006\nSubversive Knitting, Knitting, Writing / no comments\n\u2190 Orenburg Wrap pattern\nBlack Lives Matter \u2013 In Knitting and Everywhere Else \u2192",

        "raw_content": "Introduced Theba pisana snails aestivating on a row of fence posts in Kadina, South Australia\nAestivation,[1] also spelled estivation in the USA, is a state of animal dormancy.\nIt is somewhat similar to hibernation. The animals are inactive and have a lowered metabolic rate. The state is entered in response to high temperatures and dry conditions. Lungfish have been doing this since the Devonian period.[2] It takes place during times of heat and dryness, the hot dry season, which is often but not necessarily the summer months. A wide range of animals aestivate, including the Nile crocodile and many snails and lady beetles.[3][4]\nInvertebrate and vertebrate animals are known to enter this state to avoid damage from high temperatures and the risk of drying out. Both land- and water-living animals can undergo aestivation.\n\u2191 from Latin aestas, 'summer'.\n\u2191 Miller, William Charles (2007). Trace fossils: concepts, problems, prospects.

        "raw_content": "December 1, 2018 December 2, 2018 Single and Selfish\nI read an article this morning, I\u2019ll link it below.\nEat, Pray, Make Love: Why you absolutely must have shameless sex after your divorce.\nMaybe I was looking for validation that I\u2019m not a bad person, that I\u2019m not abnormal, that I\u2019m not selfish (in the negative connotation of that word) and that I\u2019m not shameful.\nThe Chef and I are over. He has been taking a break from us and doing some heavy thinking and I\u2019ve been giving him his space. This morning we finally talked and he expressed that this arrangement wasn\u2019t working for him anymore. We can still be friends but he doesn\u2019t want to be in this casual Friend with Benefits situation any longer. He and I both found ourselves feeling more and more for each other but I\u2019m not willing to end this Oat Sowing Season and frankly, I want to have my cake and to eat it too. He doesn\u2019t feel he can be my cake anymore.\nI get it. I was prepared for one of my friends to become dissatisfied with being one of many men in my life that I\u2019m spending time with, but I didn\u2019t want it to be him. It had to be this way though because as I eluded, I was feeling things for The Chef just like he was feeling things for me. We wouldn\u2019t have been able to pull off a real monogamous relationship though. It would have been fun for a time but ultimately I would have become resentful of being called out of the field into a relationship I\u2019m not ready for. I haven\u2019t finished what I\u2019m doing here yet.\nI found myself so conflicted though. It\u2019s hard to admit that I found myself feeling ashamed and regretful for a moment that my current life choices hurt someone else and caused them any level of heartache. I found myself feeling ashamed for wanting to date multiple men and not be exclusive with any of them. That is all coming from internal negative self talk that I\u2019m not being a \u201cgood girl\u201d and not fitting the mold society has set out for women. We aren\u2019t supposed to want casual, non-monogamous flings with people we find attractive. Or at least that\u2019s what the cranky, judgemental old lady in my conscience tried to tell me this morning until I shut her the hell down.\nI quickly put myself in check and remembered I spent all of my 20\u2019s and 30\u2019s into my 40\u2019s being good. This is my time to get this out of my system and live like I\u2019ve never lived before.\nI have to admit I\u2019m still really sad about The Chef and what will never be. I\u2019ll miss the Lodge and the escape his environment provided for my mind and body. He is a bit of an adventurer like I am and now I\u2019ll have to hunt down new Adventure Partners. I think living this type of lifestyle, one has to be prepared for some doors to close, while new doors open.\nAll this Shameless Sex I\u2019m having is not going to be my normal lifestyle choice forever. This is just for a season. I don\u2019t know how long it will last, but I\u2019m going to continue throwing myself into it until it either isn\u2019t fun anymore or someone comes into my life that sweeps me so far off my feet I have no desire to seek fun elsewhere. Truth be told, I hope that doesn\u2019t happen any time soon because this chapter is way too much freaking fun.\nIf you read the linked article above, the author makes a great point. Remember when Brittany Spears \u201cdropped her basket\u201d and shaved her head and took after a car window with the umbrella? Yeah, we all remember the year Brittany lost her shit. Well, she got divorced that year. Yeah. She did some crazy stuff. I\u2019m having my Brittany year \u2013 albeit with much less crazy meltdowns. I promise not to destroy anyone elses property with my crazy. I\u2019ll stick with just having lots and lots of safe sex with consenting, single adults.\nI guess anyone who has a Brittany year can expect to have a few casualties along the way. I will never regret my time with The Chef, or any of the friends who have been part of this journey of shameless sex. He and I have had a lot of fun and some pretty great kisses. I\u2019m glad The Chef and I can remain friends \u2013 he is very special to me. But damn, I\u2019m going to miss those kisses.\nbenefits Boyfriend Breaking up Breakup Brittany Spears casual sex Casualty friends new life Regrets Shame shameless The Chef\nNext Post Wrapping up 2018\n2 thoughts on \u201cThe First Casualty\u201d\nWithout judgment ~~just a thought ~~I personally can\u2019t think of any of my friends whose lives or happiness were improved while having sex with multiple partners; maybe the internal struggle is instinctive. Perhaps it\u2019s not empowering after all, but more draining of one\u2019s self-esteem.\nI actually think my life is being improved but thanks for your opinion. I think the debate is an important one.",

While some residents of the linguistically and culturally distinctive region have long pushed for secession, the current impasse has its roots in 2010, when a constitutional court overturned an agreement granting the region a degree of autonomy while the central government imposed austerity measures amid economic crisis, says Pablo Beramendi, Associate Professor of Political Science and Co-Director of Working Group on Social Mobility, Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity, Duke University.\nVoters in Catalonia are divided on the question of independence, but most want the \u201cright to decide,\u201d and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy\u2019s efforts to block the vote may backfire, Beramendi says. \u201cGiven the way the process is unfolding, there might be growing support for a clean break with Spain.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Tour de France 2013: Alp d\u2019Huez preview // History, performances and predictions\nCategory: 2013 Tour de France\nAlpe d\u2019Huez serpentines.\nPhoto \u00a9 WikiMedia user Wiki-Ing\nAlp d\u2019Huez is the Tour de France most iconic climb, and its frequency and prestige make it the most informative barometer for the sport. Unfortunately, since 2008 when the biological passport was introduced, it\u2019s only featured twice, so the more recent data is thin. 2013 adds two more ascents to the history of Alp d\u2019Huez in the Tour, and in time, this decade will make an interesting comparison to the 1990s and 2000s.\nLooking back, because it has been a regular feature in the Tour, performance history is so deep that even bad years (too hot, too cold, too windy, too tactical) can be dealt with and the emerging picture of cycling\u2019s \u201cperformance barometer\u201d is clearest when looking at this mountain.\nBelow is some historical context to the climb, and my thoughts ahead of its double-inclusion in tomorrow\u2019s 2013 Tour de France.\nThe figure below shows the top 140 performances, colour coded by eras. Those eras are 1991-1997 (pre-Festina, in red), 1999-2003 (post-Festina/early Armstrong, in orange), 2004 (the ITT, purple), 2006 (pre-biological passport/post-Armstrong, yellow), and 2008-2011 (two ascents in the biological passport era, green) (data courtesy ammattipyoraily\u2019s comprehensive list)\nThat\u2019s a very busy image, so to streamline it a little, I\u2019ve cut out all but the Top 3 times per year in the figure below\nGenerally speaking, red shades represent the 1990s, and it\u2019s clear that they\u2019re heavily weighted to the bottom (higher ranking) and right (faster times) of the graph.\nThe fastest performances on the mountain belong, not surprisingly, to Marco Pantani, who has broken 37:00 twice. He also occupies third place, and only then do the performances of Armstrong, Ullrich, Indurain, Zulle, Riis and Virenque feature. The implication of this is that Pantani was finishing 200km stages with faster ascents than the ITT of 2004, which is quite astonishing (the 2004 ITT was hot, but not exceptionally. I can\u2019t vouch for the conditions during those Pantani ascents).\nAlso indicated on the graphs above are the pVAM and dpVAM predicted times. Recall that pVAM is the predicted performance based on the collection of top-3 finishers in the GC in Grand Tours from 2008-2013 (post-biological passport). The dpVAM is the same concept, but based on the climbing times from 2002 to 2007 (pre-passport). (Based on what you see above, it would be interesting to have a similar prediction based on the times in the 1990s)\npVAM for Alp d\u2019Huez is 1606 m/hour, giving a predicted time of 41:48. That actually lies to the left of the data set in the above graphs, as it is slower than the 140th best time in history, which provides some perspective on what the doping eras of the 1990s and 2000s provided. The dpVAM is indicated as 40:22 (VAM = 1664 m/hour), which would be good for 64th on the all-time list.\nThe figures below show the relationship between power output and performance on the climb, once again indicating where the historical prediction lies, as well as the performance of noteworthy former champions of the Tour.\nAlp d\u2019Huez\u2019s depth & history provide a dose of perspective\nThe mountain-top finishes of the 2013 Tour have been dominated by Chris Froome. When using the pVAM and dpVAM method of comparison, Chris Froome is the only cyclist who has finished faster than the predictions on both climbs. Remember that this prediction is nothing more than a standardized, objective method of evaluating climb performance using historical benchmarks \u2013 the implications of being faster or slower than the prediction can be discussed separately. All that matters for now is a relative comparison between different riders of the 2013 race against this benchmark.\nOn Ax-3-Domaines, Richie Porte joined Froome under the historical \u201cundoped\u201d benchmark , whereas Mont Ventoux saw ten men go faster than pVAM (that suggests favorable conditions on the day). Nobody other than Froome has been faster than the dpVAM prediction in either finishing climb this year, and he did it on both climbs.\nSo, this introduces a few possible scenarios for this year:\nIf the entire peloton reproduces what we have seen in the previous two stages (that is, ranging between pVAM and 3% faster than pVAM), then we will see a performance in the range of 40:40 to 42:00. That means that the fastest time this year will not break into the top 70 of all-time.\nIf anyone is able to produce a performance like Froome\u2019s on Ax-3-Domaines or Mont Ventoux, then expect a time slightly faster than the dpVAM, which is 40:22. They may just crack 40 minutes, which would sneak them into the top 50.\nIn order to get into the top 20 of all-time, a performance faster than 39:15 would be required. That would be 2.8% faster than the dpVAM, the prediction made based on times from the known doped era. So far, Chris Froome has been 1.9% and 0.35% faster than dpVAM on Ax-3-Domaines and Mont Ventoux, respectively.The figure below shows where Froome\u2019s performances on those two climbs would be expected to feature were he to produce them again on Alp d\u2019Huez.The red diamond corresponds to Froome\u2019s Ax-3-Domaines performance \u2013 it is 1.9% faster than the prediction from the doped era. The pink triangle is a performance corresponding to Froome on Mont Ventoux \u2013 0.35% faster than dpVAM. Those same performances on Alp d\u2019Huez would be good enough for 26th and 54th on the all-time list.\nClearly, Froome\u2019s performances on those climbs, impressive as they were, are placed into context when held up against the Tour\u2019s deepest and most extensive benchmark. That\u2019s been part of the difficulty to date \u2013 I called it \u201cperformance pixellation\u201d, when isolated performances are viewed, well, in isolation. The deeper the data goes, the better the insight gained, and that applies to the mountain as well. That\u2019s why this entire exercise, and that of the Doc at the veloclinic, are about the process, not proof . This is a point I\u2019ve tried to emphasize many times , but the message sometimes doesn\u2019t get through. Hopefully Alp d\u2019Huez adds some more perspective to help this argument along.\nThat said, the tactical situation of the race may confound the Alp d\u2019Huez ascent this year. Much like the situation on Mont Ventoux, Chris Froome can afford to be relatively conservative, and pick a moment later in the climb to attack, if at all. Last Sunday on Ventoux, he attacked with about 7km to go, producing a furious acceleration off what was a relatively cautious first half of the climb. The same on Alp d\u2019Huez would skew the eventual time \u2013 David Brailsford alluded in an interview to the fact that their data suggest Froome could have been even faster, something that was obvious just looking at the pacing strategy on the climb (the other riders provide the barometer for the pacing). Given that he does not need the time, Froome may do the same tomorrow, so we will wait to see what the performance means in the grander, historical context.\nAlso of interest will be the double ascent, to see just how much more slowly they ride the climb the first time around. I\u2019d be surprised if the main peloton breaks 46 minutes the first time (that projects a power output of about 5.1 W/kg using Ferrari\u2019s method). An early break, which is inevitable, could well gain 3 to 4 mins within the 21 hairpins of the climb.\nAnd finally, the weather forecast, in keeping with the individuals time-trial I\u2019m watching as I write this, is cold and wet. That introduces an interesting variable, because different riders tolerate changes in temperature, and also colder temperatures, far worse than others, so the ascent of Alp d\u2019Huez may throw up a few surprises.\nThe analysis and thoughts to come, particularly on Facebook and Twitter , so do follow me and then join me tomorrow for what should be a tremendous day on cycling\u2019s greatest stage.",

        "raw_content": "Voigtlander is one of the oldest companies to become involved in the production of photo related products, it was founded in 1756 by Johann Christoph Voigtlander to manufacture scientific instruments. His son, Johann Friedrich Voigtlander began producing optics. The third generation, Peter Wilhelm Voigtlander, hired a military mathematician, Dr Joseph Petzval, to design a lens mathematically. This revolutionary approach to lens design led to a four element lens with an aperture of f/3.7, fifteen times faster than what was currently available. Voigtlander then mounted the lens in the world's first all metal camera.\nVoigtlander was one of the largest and most respected of the German camera manufacturers until the merger that formed Zeiss Ikon in 1926. It soon found itself in the shadow of the Zeiss behemoth, and after the second world war built products designed for advanced amateurs. In 1956 the Carl Zeiss Stifung, the parent company of Zeiss Ikon, bought Voigtlander. It was operated as a separate company until 1965, when it was absorbed into Zeiss Ikon to form Zeiss Ikon-Voigtlander. Unfortunately the product line was not rationalized to make both companies profitable by avoiding competition with themselves. At that time the new company had five SLR camera systems on the market (Contarex, Contaflex, Contaflex 126, Icarex and Ultramatic/Bessamatic), none of which were compatible with another, usually even down to simple accessories such as lens hoods, caps or filters.\nThe merger failed to bring profitability. In 1972 production of Zeiss Ikon-Voigtlander cameras ended, and Voigtlander was spun off as a separate company run by Rollei. New Voigtlander products were available in 1974.\nUnfortunately the Japanese were dominating the photographic market, and Rollei went into bankruptcy in 1981. Voigtlander was sold off to Plusfoto, a chain of German photo stores, who used the brand on products they had built for them by others. Finally, in 1997 the name was purchased by Ringfoto, and a deal was struck with Cosina to produce 35mm rangefinder cameras and lenses in Leica thread mount. This has led to a resurgence in the marketing of 35mm rangefinder cameras using vintage mounts, inspiring cameras and lenses from makers such as Konica, Minolta and even Zeiss.",

        "raw_content": "Steelers\u2019 Offensive Line Will Battle A Familiar Face Monday Night In Washington\nWhen the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line takes the field Monday night in the team\u2019s 2016 regular season opener against the Washington Redskins, four of those players surely won\u2019t have to introduce themselves to one of the defensive ends on the other side of the line of scrimmage.\nIn case you haven\u2019t heard by now, former Steelers first-round draft pick Ziggy Hood is expected to start at left defensive end Monday night for the Redskins after winning the job during training camp.\n\u201cOnce we got the pads on him was really when he stood out,\u201d Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said of Hood recently, according to Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. \u201cThe 1-on-1 drills, the team drills, he was in the backfield being very disruptive. It was a consistent thing. It wasn\u2019t like one day he did well and the next day he didn\u2019t do anything. He was consistently a nuisance and a problem for our offense.\u201d\nHood, who signed a futures contract with the Redskins this past February, last started a game in the NFL in 2013 as a member of the Steelers. Since being allowed to leave Pittsburgh as an unrestricted free agent at the conclusion of that season, Hood has since played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears.\nJust over one full year ago, Hood tore the plantar fascia in his left foot during the Jaguars preseason finale and while he quickly overcame that injury after being placed on Jacksonville\u2019s Reserve/Injured list, he couldn\u2019t manage to stick with Bears, who had quickly signed him following his October release from the team that had signed him to a four-year contract in March of 2014.\n\u201cI never really had to deal with an injury that serious before,\u201d Hood said nearly a month ago, according to Anthony Gulizia of The Washington Times. \u201cThey told me I wasn\u2019t going to be doing anything for eight or nine weeks. I was squatting 315 [pounds] at three weeks. I\u2019m Texas Tough. That\u2019s how we\u2019re born and raised.\u201d\nWhile Hood failed to receive a second contract in Pittsburgh, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin still speaks very highly of the defensive end.\n\u201cZiggy was always a hard-working professional, so it\u2019s no surprise to me that he\u2019s still sustaining himself and being helpful to a football team,\u201d Tomlin said on a conference call Wednesday. \u201cHe\u2019s always had a good natural get-off. He\u2019s always working at his craft. He realizes that as a professional, detail is an element of it, and when he was with us that was always his approach to getting better.\u201d\nMonday night in Washington, expect the Steelers to try and run right at Hood early and often during the game with guard David DeCastro likely leading the way. DeCastro, who like Hood was also drafted in the first round by the Steelers, should know Hood very well being as the two practiced against one another for two years in Pittsburgh.\nHood enters the Monday night game against his former team with 12.5 career sacks and only one of them was registered since he left Pittsburgh. In short, while Hood should be applauded for being able to rejuvenate his career after so many thought he was done, the Steelers offensive line will be expected to keep his impact on Monday night\u2019s game at a minimum.\nRelated Items:Anthony Gulizia, Chicago Bears, David DeCastro, Jacksonville Jaguars, Jay Gruden, Mike Tomlin, Stephen Whyno, Washington Redskins, Ziggy Hood",

I\u2019m guessing a little bit here because I\u2019ve never been right so often that I\u2019ve become overconfident in my judgment. But I\u2019ve seen several instances where a leader has been right so often that they apparently forget what it was like to be wrong.\nThat leads some to believe they can no longer be wrong. That\u2019s an extraordinarily dangerous way of thinking.\nAs a leader it is imperative that you never forget what it feels like to be wrong. When you lose that feeling it can lead to sloppy decision making. You no longer take the time required to gather the facts necessary to make good decisions. You can begin to assume too many things. You fall into the often fatal trap of thinking that your future is merely an extension of your recent past. You conclude that because \u201call\u201d of your past decisions were correct that all your decisions are and will continue to be correct.\nYou stop listening to the people who helped you make those good decisions in the past and decide to be your own counsel. That decision often leads to more wrong decisions but by this time you\u2019re on your own. You have no one left to tell you how wrong you are. That downward spiral is difficult to stop. The good news is that it\u2019s not impossible to stop. You must push yourself back to the basics of sound decision making and never leave that foundation again. No matter how many great decisions you make.\nThe best leaders are confident and bold in their decision making but never to the point of assuming that they can\u2019t be wrong. They know that they can be as wrong as anyone else. They put great effort into doing every bit of the due diligence required to supply their excellent judgment with the facts required to make great decisions.\nAs it turns out one of the best ways to be sure you\u2019re right is to at least consider the possibility that you could be wrong. Decide that you too can be wrong about most anything and you\u2019ll be on your way to being right a whole lot more often.\nDecideDecidingDecision MakingDecisionsGood DecisionsGood JudgmentJudgmentRight vs Wrong\nFive Minutes That Can Change Everything\nAs you lead you need good judgment. You also cannot afford to be judgmental. That\u2019s never more important than when considering the potential of the people on your team.\nIf you\u2019re like most leaders you\u2019re always watching your team to determine how effective they are in their roles. That\u2019s good leadership. But good leadership is not good enough if your goal is to grow your organization.\nGrowing an organization requires great leadership and great leadership requires more than simply watching your people. It requires consistent two-way communication.\nIf you\u2019re not \u201cout there\u201d interacting and talking with your people in an intentional manner then you\u2019re probably missing out on the information that you need to advance from good to great leadership.\nWhen I say \u201cintentional\u201d I mean very very intentional. You must make it a point to invest time each day, every single day, to learn something about someone on your team. Here\u2019s one way to do that:\nEvery day invest the time to conduct an innerview, no I didn\u2019t mean interview, I really meant innerview. An interview is what you do when you\u2019re hiring someone. An innerview is what you do when you\u2019re interested in keeping them, and building their success. You must see their motivations and lives from the inside to truly understand why they do what they do.\nInvest five minutes a day, every single day to innerview at least one member of your team. Ask about them personally, about their goals, their challenges and most importantly, how you can help them get to where they want to be.\nWay too many leaders have told me that the \u201cinnerview\u201d is a nice thought but that they just can\u2019t afford the time. This is often right after they have told me that their people are their most important asset.\nIf you want a great organization then you are going to have to be a great leader. Put your time where your mouth is and don\u2019t just say your people are important, show it. Show it by using the innerview to make certain that when you\u2019re making judgements about your people you know exactly who you are judging.\nWhen you use your point of view to judge your people you\u2019re almost certain to be judgmental. When you use your people\u2019s point of view you can leave the \u201cment\u201d behind and more clearly judge.\nIt requires just five minutes a day but it\u2019s five minutes that can change everything about how you evaluate and lead your people.\nEvaluating PeopleInnerviewJudgingJudgmentJudgmentalKnowing Your People\nNobody can be right all the time but the best leaders are indeed right far more often than not. They are right more often than not because they best leaders have good judgment. The simple definition of judgment is: an opinion or decision that is based on careful thought or the act or process of forming an opinion or making a decision after careful thought.\nBoth of those definitions have the term \u201ccareful thought\u201d in common. A decision based on careless thought is rarely a good decision and never as good of a decision as it could have been.\nA ball and a bat together cost $1.10. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?\nResearch says that 79% of the people who just answered that question instinctively, without careful thought answered that question wrong.\nGreat leaders think and they think carefully before making a decision. They consider the consequences of their decision and the consequences of those consequences. Like a chess master they think several steps ahead of most people.\nGreat leaders think bigger.\nMost importantly they know what they don\u2019t know. They don\u2019t assume much if anything. They verify their facts, they have people who they can bounce ideas off of, they count on those people to tell them the truth, not just what they want to hear.\nThe best leaders know that they can find out about the things they don\u2019t know. They also know that their real problems come from \u201cknowing\u201d things that just aren\u2019t true.\nI think most people actually have the potential to have good judgment, they appear to lack good judgment because their decisions are instinctive rather than informed. They sometimes seem to think that a quick decision is better than a delayed decision. Great leaders know that a delayed right decision will beat a quick wrong decision every single time. Every single time.\nI know I\u2019m likely to get hundreds of tweets and responses saying I should go back to school and study math because they believe the answer to my earlier question is indeed 10 cents.\nI thought about telling you why 10 cents is wrong but I\u2019m not going to. Instead I\u2019ll tell you this, if you\u2019re willing to pay attention, really pay attention, then all the information you need to make good decisions and show good judgment is readily available to you.\nYou only need to pay real attention, you must linger on the words on the person you\u2019re speaking with until you truly understand what they mean. You must read every word in a sentence because words matter, if you don\u2019t your brain will play tricks on you and make you think that $1.05 is really $1.00.\nYour judgment improves when you think bigger, listen intently and observe with both your eyes and your mind wide open. You have good judgement, the question is will you develop the skills you need to make use of it.\nWhen you do, you\u2019ll know without a doubt that the ball costs a mere 5 cents.\nDecideDecidingDecision MakingDecisionsGood DecisionsGood JudgmentJudgingJudgment\nHow Much Does Good Judgment Matter?\nNoel Tichy and Warren Bennis are both well known business authors and both are considered experts on the topic of leadership. They also both agree that a leader\u2019s most important role, regardless of the organization, is making good judgments. They define good judgments as well-informed, wise decisions that produce the desired outcomes. They say that when a leader shows consistently good judgment, little else matters.\nThey also have this in common: they are mistaken. Seriously mistaken. They are mistaken because lots of other stuff matters, lots and lots of other stuff.\nClearly good judgment is vital for all leaders. If we\u2019re talking solely about effective leadership then I may even put it at the top of my most important leadership characteristics list. However, if we\u2019re talking about Authentic Servant Leadership then many other characteristics come into play and they are equally as important as good judgment.\nLet me attempt to struggle once again with the difference between effective leadership and truly Authentic Servant Leadership.\nThink of it like this: effective leadership can settle for the good of the one over the good of the many. Authentic Servant Leadership will consistently, willingly, sacrifice the good of the one for the good of the many, even when they are personally the \u201cone.\u201d\nIf that\u2019s an accurate description of the difference, or at least a difference, between \u201ceffective\u201d and \u201cauthentic\u201d leadership and I believe that it is, that makes effective leadership a whole lot easier than authentic leadership.\nThere is just a lot less to be concerned about. There are less \u201cinputs\u201d to consider when a merely effective leader is making a judgment.\nSo if Tichy and Bennis are talking about only effective leadership they could have a point. But merely effective leaders are limited in their ability to earn the commitment of their people. That limitation lessons their influence and prevents them from ever achieving a Level Five Leadership Status.\nAuthentic Servant Leaders must have integrity and they must care about their people. They celebrate the success of others before their own. They don\u2019t spend time on their people, they invest time with their people. Authentic Servant Leaders don\u2019t just build a strong following, they build strong leaders. Yes, they have outstanding judgment but they know that there are very few things that \u201cmatter little\u201d and many things that matter a lot in leadership.\nHere\u2019s where I can agree with both Tichy and Bennis: they say when a leader consistently shows poor judgment, nothing else matters. I believe that is mostly true. It\u2019s true because you can care for people, you can have boatloads of integrity, and you can genuinely love it when other people succeed but if your judgment is always lacking, you may be a wonderful person but you won\u2019t be a leader for long.\nSo judgment matters, it really really matters. To say that little else matters however is to diminish the legacy of many of the greatest leaders who ever lived. Judgment is a critical component of leadership, but it\u2019s not the only one, it\u2019s only one of many.\nAuthentic Servant LeadershipEffective LeadershipJudgmentLeadership\nI am what I am and that\u2019s all that I am. \u2013 Popeye the Sailor\nAre you living your own life or are you living the life that other people or some other person, expects you to live?\nIt\u2019s a big question. If you\u2019re living your life the way you want to live it then you have the opportunity to truly succeed. If you\u2019re living the life of a poser, trying to be something or someone your really not, then despite what you may gain in life you\u2019ll likely have trouble thinking of yourself as a true success.\nPopeye had it figured out. He lived his life, his way, and that was that. If that wasn\u2019t \u201cgood enough\u201d for someone then they didn\u2019t need to be part of his life. He was perfectly fine with that. No person\u2019s opinion of him mattered more than his own.\nThat is a pretty healthy way to live.\nNow, a few caveats. Living your life your way doesn\u2019t mean you get to ignore all societal norms or the laws of the land. It doesn\u2019t mean you aren\u2019t required to share the planet with all it\u2019s other inhabitants and it doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t have to use the resources of the planet responsibly.\nLiving your life your way just means that you don\u2019t have to \u201cadjust\u201d your core values to meet the expectations of others. It means that you don\u2019t have to look a certain way or believe anything that you don\u2019t want to believe.\nIt means that you get to be you. It also means you get to have everything that comes with being whoever you want to be. Of course it also may mean that you don\u2019t get to have some things that you might be able to have if you were different than you are. But hey, we all make choices.\nNo one can take your self-respect unless you\u2019re their accomplice. Other people can think what they want of you but they can\u2019t make you think less or more of yourself \u2026 unless you let them. So don\u2019t allow other people to judge you; ignore the haters and naysayers and live the life that you choose for yourself.\nNow, here\u2019s the part of the post that\u2019s meant as much for me as it is for anyone else. You might not like the second part of the post as much as the first.\nIf you\u2019re not going to let other people judge you and you\u2019re going to live your life as YOU see fit then you must stop judging other people and stop trying to get other people to live their life the way you think they should.\nYou\u2019ll be better off in most every way if you stop judging people and start trying to understand them instead.\nThe moment you judge someone your judgement about them becomes clouded. You\u2019re using your life experiences and your life values to determine how they should look, act, and behave. But they ain\u2019t you. It\u2019s highly unlikely that they view life through the same lens that you do. It\u2019s their experiences, background, issues, hopes and goals that make them who they are. And they ain\u2019t you!\nSo stop thinking they should be, or worse, that they need to be. You will find it far easier to accept who you are when you learn to accept others as they are.\nAcceptanceDo it Your WayJudgingJudgmentJudgmentalLive Your Life\nMarch 30, 2014 Steve Keating\t13 Comments",

        "raw_content": "National Parks and \u2018Good-neighbor\u2019 Airspace\nFlying to one of America\u2019s National Parks and seeing the landscape that makes that area special is one of the greatest thing you can do with your pilot\u2019s certificate \u2014 if you know what you\u2019re doing. The Parks are one of America\u2019s great treasures and if you go you should know the airspace restrictions involved so that aircraft and Parks can remain good neighbors. When you plan your trip there are some thing that are important to keep in mind\u2026\nThere are three United States Government agencies that have jurisdiction over parks and wildlife areas:\nThe National Parks Service,\nThe United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and\nThe United States Forestry Service.\nOperations of almost any kind are prohibited in these areas without prior authorization.\nFirst, all pilots are prohibited from landing an aircraft \u2014 either on land or water \u2014 inside any areas designated by any of these three agencies without prior authorization \u2026 Except:\nwhen an aircraft is forced to land due to an emergency beyond the control of the pilot;\nat officially designated landing sites; or\non approved official business of the Federal Government.\nNO DROPPING\nFederal regulations also prohibit airdrops or parachuting into National Parks, National Wildlife Areas, and National Forests and Seashores. Again, there could be exceptions to this rule if emergencies take place involving the safety of human life, or the threat of serious property loss.\nNO LOW FLYING\nUnless the area is further restricted, you may over-fly a National Park, or wildlife area, but watch your altitude. Pilots are requested to maintain a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet above the surface of any area designated as a National Park, Monument, Seashore, Lakeshore, Recreation Area and Scenic Riverways administered by the National Park Service. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service also requests that pilots stay 2,000 feet over areas designated as National Wildlife Refuses, Big Game Refuges, Game Ranges and Wildlife Ranges, or National Marine Sanctuary. And Finally the U.S. Forestry Service asks pilots to maintain 2,000-foot separation from the surface of Wilderness and Primitive Areas. Remember, that\u2019s 2,000 feet AGL.\nImportant: Often these areas are not flat terrain. In fact, it is probably the canyons, and mountains that make them so special. So, FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 91-36C, titled, \u2018VFR Flight Near Noise-Sensitive Areas\u2018 further defines the 2,000-foot-AGL rule. The AC defines the surface as the highest terrain within 2,000 feet laterally of the route of flight, or the upper-most rim of a canyon or valley.\nSYMBOLOBY\nLook at Figure 1 of the Lake Andes National Wildlife Refuge in South Dakota.\nFigure 2 (below) shows the Cedar Breaks National Monument and the Ash Down Gorge Wilderness Area in Utah.The area is designated on the chart with a continuous blue line. Inside the line are blue dots. This chart symbol does not appear on the Sectional Chart Legend. Pilots are requested to stay 2,000 feet above the area inside that blue line with enclosed dots. The near-by Lake Andes airport has an airport elevation of 1,475 feet MSL, so pilots in this area should cross the refuge no lower than approximately 3,475 feet MSL (1,475 + 2,000).\nFigure 3 is if the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary which is just of the coast of San Francisco.The exact crossing altitude of these two areas would be harder to calculate since ground elevation changes rapidly in the gorge. Use \u2018better-safe-than-sorry\u2019 judgement here.\nOver the ocean AGL and MSL can be considered the same thing, so pilot are asked to fly no closer to the water than 2,000 feet in this area.\nREQUEST VERSUS LEGAL REQUIREMENT\nYou might have noticed that altitude separations over parks and wildlife areas are all \u2018requests\u2018. The Advisory Circular previously cited \u2014 like all other AC\u2019s \u2014 is not a regulation, but falls into the category of good operating practices. The regulations pertaining to legal altitudes above the surface still all apply, but an extra buffer is requested over sensitive areas.\nBOTTOM LINE: All pilots should follow these recommendations \u2014 regardless of whether or not they are regulatory. (These days, even legal flight over a reservoir could provoke jittery neighbors to summon a visit from a pair of F-16s.) So, enjoy the parks this summer, bur remember the heightened concerns and patriotic vigilance of those on the ground \u2026 and match them with a higher altitude!",

There have been lots of rumors circulating over these past few months and some recent news reports may shed some light on the mystery of the Google project.\nThe new iteration of Google Glass will have a curved rectangular form, plus it will also sport a button-and-hinge system that will allow it to attach to different types of glasses, sunglasses and other possible types of eyewear.\nIt appears that Google is willing to make the project available for healthcare, manufacturing and energy companies. Moreover, it is already being distributed to software developers in order to facilitate the creation of viable applications.\nA new consumer version is also in the works, but it will not be seen on the market until as recent as a year from now, sources say. The previous Glass version which was launched last year got a lot of backlash because it was launched to soon and was not ready for consumer use.\nThe new Google Glass enterprise version should have a faster Intel processor and better wireless connectivity. The device is said to be powered by an external battery pack which connects magnetically and it is supposed to offer a prolonged life time for the device. The accessory will also have a longer and thinner prism display which will be adjustable for more flexibility.\nFor now, we will only see or hear about Google Glass when it comes to corporate industries and businesses, which is a great starting idea for such technology. Who knows, in the future the world may be more comfortable with using such tech on a daily basis!\nPosted byAnna 2015-08-02 Posted inAccessories, NewsTags: accessory, android, energy, eyewear, glass, glass google, google, google glass, healthcare, Intel processor, manufacturing, News, tech\nAT&T purchase of DirecTV facilitates launch of new TV wireless package",

Hoadley\nIn construing \u00a7 1 of the Act of August 13, 1888, which provides that circuit and district courts shall not have cognizance of suits to recover the contents of any promissory note or chose in action in favor of an assignee or subsequent holder unless the suit could have been prosecuted in such court if no assignment or transfer had been made, this Court has held that:\nA suit to recover the contents of a promissory note or other chose in action is a suit to recover the amount due upon such note, or the amount claimed to be due upon an account, personal contract, or other chose in action.\nA suit to foreclose a mortgage is within the inhibition of the act, and can only be maintained where the assignor was competent to file the bill.\nThe bill or other pleading must contain an averment showing that the suit could have been maintained by the assignor if the assignment had not been made.\nA suit may be maintained between the immediate parties to a promissory note as indorser or indorsee provided the requisite diversity of citizenship appears as between them, or upon a new contract arising subsequently to the execution of the original, notwithstanding a suit could not have been maintained upon the original contract, and in such case the original contract may be considered to ascertain the amount of damages.\nAlthough an action of fraud might be sustained upon the facts involved in an action where the requisite diversity of citizenship exists if the suit is in substance one to foreclose a mortgage, and it appears by the bill that the fraud is a mere incident, the suit is one within the meaning of \u00a7 1 of the Act of August 13, 1888, and will not lie in a federal court unless plaintiff's assignor might have maintained the bill had no transfer been made.\nThis was an appeal from a decree of the circuit court in favor of the plaintiff, Charlotte E. Hoadley, a citizen of Massachusetts, against Abraham L. Day and other defendants, among whom were Fred H. Kolze, administrator of the estate of Friederich Kolze, deceased, Lina Kolze, his widow, Louisa Kolze, his daughter, and Charles E. Stade, trustee, all citizens of Illinois, foreclosing three trust deeds given by Day to secure\npromissory notes in the aggregate amount of $5,400. The appeal was granted solely upon the question of jurisdiction.\nThe point involved requires a statement of facts at some length. They are substantially as follows:\nFriederich Kolze sold and conveyed certain real estate to Day by warranty deed dated and acknowledged November 15, 1897, for a stated consideration of $45,000 -- namely, $1,000 in cash and the remainder in notes secured by trust deeds. To secure such notes, Day executed three trust deeds to one Stade as trustee, conveying the real estate in question, which were dated November 17, and acknowledged and recorded November 24, 1897. Kolze thereupon entrusted the notes and trust deeds to Stade, a nephew, in whom he seemed to have great confidence, the notes being executed by Day to his own order, and by him indorsed in blank.\nOn February 17, 1898, Stade took the notes and trust deeds securing the same, and pledged them to Charlotte E. Hoadley as collateral security to his own notes, upon which Hoadley then advanced, or secured to be advanced, a large sum of money.\nBy deed dated and acknowledged November 23, 1897, but not delivered or recorded until June 30, 1898, Day reconveyed the premises to Kolze, and by deed of release, dated and acknowledged October 27, 1898, and recorded October 29, 1898, Stade, as trustee, fraudulently released said three trust deeds to Kolze, reciting a consideration of $1 and other valuable considerations, and further reciting that the notes secured thereby had been cancelled.\nBy deed dated October 29, 1898, Kolze, now deceased, and the appellant Lina Kolze, his wife, conveyed said premises to Louisa Kolze, their daughter, upon an expressed consideration of $12,000, although the grantee was not a bona fide purchaser, and said conveyance was made to her to hold for the benefit of the family.\nFor the ostensible purpose of securing the payment of the purchase money, said Louisa Kolze executed a trust deed to\nsecure her promissory note of $10,000, to Percy V. Castle, as trustee. This deed was dated October 27, 1898, acknowledged October 28, 1898, and recorded October 29, 1898, the appellant Fred H. Kolze, as administrator of the estate of his father, being the owner of said notes and trust deeds, subject, as was alleged, to the rights of the plaintiff, Hoadley.\nSubsequently, on or about April 21, 1899, the notes and trust deeds of Day, upon default by Stade in the payment of his note, were sold in accordance with the terms of the collateral note, and were bought in by, and became the property of, the appellee Hoadley.\nThe bill prayed that the release deed executed by Stade to Friederich Kolze be declared fraudulent and void as against the notes and trust deeds executed by Day and now owned by the plaintiff; that the rights of all the defendants be declared subject to those of the plaintiff under the notes and deeds held by her; that a receiver be appointed and an account had, and the defendants be decreed to pay whatever was due under the notes and trust deeds, and, in default thereof, that the premises be sold and the defendants be held liable for any deficiency upon such sale, and that they all be foreclosed of their right of redemption.\nThe defendants moved to dismiss the amended bill for want of a proper allegation of diversity of citizenship, which was overruled, and thereupon defendants interposed a plea to the jurisdiction upon the ground that the defendants were all citizens of the State of Illinois; that the suit was brought by plaintiff as the assignee of one William P. Smith, to whom the notes had been hypothecated by Stade to secure his (Stade's) note, and also to secure Smith for the faithful performance by Stade of a certain contract of employment; that, upon the failure of Stade to pay his note and carry out his contract, said mortgage notes and trust deeds signed by Day were sold on or about April 21, 1899, and were bought in by and became the property of the plaintiff; that Stade and Smith, \"the successive assignors\" of the appellee, were citizens of the\nState of Illinois, the same state of which Day, the maker of the notes, was also a resident, and that, by reason of the fact that said suit could not have been prosecuted in a federal court if no transfer or assignment had been made, the circuit court had no jurisdiction of the case.\nThis plea was held to be insufficient, and the defendants, failing to answer, were defaulted, and a decree thereafter entered to the effect that Stade, as trustee, had fraudulently released the trust deeds; that the trust deeds were valid as liens upon the premises; that the rights of Louisa Kolze, subsequent grantee under the warranty deed, as well as the deed of Kolze, were subject and subsequent to the rights of the plaintiff as the owner of the notes and deeds signed by Day; that the property be sold and the defendants foreclosed of their equity of redemption.\nThereupon, defendants appealed to this Court solely upon the question of jurisdiction.\nThe sole question presented by the record in this case is whether this is a suit to recover the contents of a chose in action in favor of an assignee, which could not have been prosecuted if no assignment or transfer had been made.\nBy section 1 of the Act of August 13, 1888, it is provided that no circuit nor district court shall\n\"have cognizance of any suit . . . to recover the contents of any promissory note or other chose in action in favor of any assignee, or of any subsequent holder . . . unless such suit might have been prosecuted in such court to recover the said contents if no assignment of transfer had been made.\"\nThis language is taken from the original Judiciary Act of 1789, and has been in force, except for a few years, since the foundation of the government.\nIn construing this clause, the decisions of this Court have settled the following propositions:\n1. That a suit to recover the contents of a promissory note or other chose in action is a suit to recover the amount due upon such note, or the amount claimed to be due upon an account, personal contract, or other chose in action. Sere v. Pitot, 6 Cranch 332; Deshler v. Dodge, 16 How. 622, 57 U. S. 631; Bushnell v. Kennedy, 9 Wall. 387; Shoecraft v. Bloxham, 124 U. S. 730.\nIn Corbin v. Black Hawk County, 105 U. S. 659, a suit to compel the specific performance of a contract was held to be within the statute, Mr. Justice Blatchford observing (page 665):\n\"The contents of a contract, as a chose in action, in the sense of section 629, are the rights created by it in favor of a party in whose behalf stipulations are made in it which he has a right to enforce in a suit founded on the contract, and a suit to enforce such stipulations is a suit to recover such contents.\"\n2. That a suit to foreclose a mortgage is within the inhibition of the act, and can only be maintained where the assignor was competent to file the bill. Sheldon v. Sill, 8 How. 441; Blacklock v. Small, 127 U. S. 96.\n3. That the bill or other pleading must contain an averment showing that the suit could have been maintained by the assignor if no assignment had been made. Turner v. Bank of North America, 4 Dall. 8; Mollan v. Torrance, 9 Wheat. 537; Bradley v. Rhines, 8 Wall. 393; Anderson v. Watt, 138 U. S. 694, 138 U. S. 702; Robertson v. Cease, 97 U. S. 649; Brock v. Northwestern Fuel Co., 130 U. S. 341.\n4. That a suit may be maintained between the immediate parties to a promissory note as indorser and indorsee, provided the requisite diversity of citizenship appears as between them, or upon a new contract arising subsequently to the execution of the original, notwithstanding a suit could not have been maintained upon the original contract. In such case, the original contract may be considered to ascertain the amount of the damages. Young v. Bryan, 6 Wheat. 146; Bank of United States v. Moss, 6 How. 31; Superior v. Ripley, 138 U. S. 93; Mollan v. Torrance, 9 Wheat. 537; Manufacturing Company v. Bradley, 105 U. S. 175.\nThis is primarily a suit to foreclose certain mortgages. Instead of setting up the mortgages, their maturity and nonpayment, and their assignment to plaintiff, leaving to the defendants to plead the release by Stade of October, 1898, as an extinguishment of the mortgages, she has chosen to set forth the entire facts, to attack the release as fraudulent as against\nher, and to insist that the original notes and trust deeds are valid in her hands, and to pray for a foreclosure of the same.\nThe gravamen of the suit and the object to be obtained are unaffected by the form of her bill. The suit is still, in substance, a suit to foreclose the trust deeds, and to remove the release as a cloud upon her title to them.\nIt may be that an action for fraud might have lain against the parties implicated, regardless of the citizenship of the parties from whom the plaintiff traced her title, or possibly a bill in equity to cancel the release deed of Stade and remove a cloud from the title. But where a bill is filed to foreclose a mortgage, and it appears by the bill itself that the mortgage has been fraudulently released to the mortgagor by a deed of which plaintiff had no notice, and the fraud is a mere incident, the bill is still one to recover the contents of a mortgage, within the meaning of the act, and will not lie in a federal court unless the plaintiff's assignor might have maintained the bill if no assignment or transfer had been made. It would advantage the plaintiff nothing to obtain a cancellation of the release without also foreclosing the mortgage in the same or a subsequent suit, while a right to foreclose the mortgage could not be established without incidentally avoiding the release.\nIn this aspect of the case, it would seem to me immaterial whether the plaintiff derived her title directly from Stade, to whom she had advanced money and afterwards purchased the notes and trust deeds, as alleged in the bill, or through William P. Smith, who had obtained the notes and trust deeds from Stade, his debtor, since both Stade and Smith were citizens of the State of Illinois, and the inhibition of the statute would apply in either case.\nThe case of Blacklock v. Small, 127 U. S. 97, is similar, and, we think, practically decisive of the one under consideration. A suit was brought in the Circuit Court for South Carolina by two daughters of John F. Blacklock, who were citizens of Georgia, against certain defendants, who were citizens of South Carolina. It seems that Blacklock had sold a house and lot in\nCharleston to the defendant Small, who had given back a bond and mortgage to secure a portion of the purchase money; that Blacklock subsequently assigned the bond to Alexander Robinson in trust, for his (Blacklock's) children; that Small pretended to pay the bond by making payment to Robinson in Confederate treasury notes; that, upon receipt thereof, Robinson satisfied the mortgage and delivered up the bond to Small; that Robinson, in receiving such payment, violated his duty, and was guilty of a breach of trust; that Small, in attempting to pay the debt in illegal currency, with full notice of the trust, had not paid the debt; that the satisfaction of the mortgage was void; that its lien was still subsisting, and that Small was still liable for the amount due upon the bond. It was held that, as the suit was one against Small, founded upon contract -- namely, his bond and mortgage in favor of plaintiffs, who claimed only under the assignment made by their father, John F. Blacklock, to the defendant Robinson -- such suit would not lie, inasmuch as plaintiffs' assignor, John F. Blacklock, was a citizen of South Carolina and of the same state as Small. In answer to this it was insisted that the suit should not be considered as one founded upon the contract of Small, but as one for the delivery of the bond and mortgage by Small to the plaintiffs, founded on their wrongful detention, and that the foreclosure and sale of the premises prayed for was merely ancillary and incidental. The contention was held to be unsound, Mr. Justice Blatchford saying that the bill was clearly one for a decree for the amount of the bond and a sale of the mortgaged premises. In other words, the foreclosure and sale were treated as the main objects of the bill, and the breach of trust of Small as a mere incident. The cases of Deshler v. Dodge, 16 How. 622, and Bushnell v. Kennedy, 9 Wall. 387, were cited and distinguished.\nBy analogy to Blacklock v. Small, we think the gravamen of this case must be treated as the foreclosure of the trust deeds in question, and the prayer for a cancellation of the release given by Stade to Friederich Kolze as a mere clearing of the way\nto a decree establishing the title of the plaintiff to the notes and trust deeds. As the plaintiff is thus compelled to trace her title through Stade or Smith, who are both citizens of Illinois, and neither of whom could have prosecuted this suit, she is affected by the same incompetency.\nThe case of Holmes v. Goldsmith, 147 U. S. 150, on which the plaintiff relies, is not in point. That was an action by a nonresident against the maker of a note, who had signed it entirely for the benefit of the payee, who was really the party for whose use it was made. The maker and payee were citizens of the same state. The plaintiff, a bona fide holder, had paid full value for it to the payee, who had indorsed it to him. It was held the court had jurisdiction; that evidence showing the real relation of the parties was admissible, and that the jurisdiction of the circuit court\n\"was properly put by the court below upon the proposition that the true meaning of the restriction in question was not disturbed by permitting the plaintiffs to show that, notwithstanding the terms of the note, the payee was really a maker or original promisor, and did not, by his indorsement, assign or transfer any right of action held by him against the accommodation makers.\"\nThe decree of the circuit court is therefore reversed, and the case remanded to that court, with instructions to dismiss the bill.",

        "raw_content": "General Talking Pictures Corporation v. Western Electric Co.\n1. The owner of a patent may lawfully restrict his licensee to manufacture and sale of the patented invention for use in only one or some of several distinct fields in which it is useful, excluding him from the others. P. 305 U. S. 125.\n2. Where a licensee, so restricted, makes and sells the patented article for a use outside the scope of his license, he is an infringer, and his vendee, buying with knowledge of the facts, is likewise an infringer. P. 305 U. S. 127.\n3. In this case, the Court has no occasion to consider (a) what the rights of the parties would have been if the articles embodying the patented invention had been manufactured under the patent and had passed into the hands of a purchaser in the ordinary channels of trade; or (b) the effect of a notice attached to articles lawfully made and sold under license of the patent owner, and which purports to restrict their use. Id.\nIn this case, there were several suits for infringements of patents relating to vacuum tube amplifiers. The court below was affirmed at the last term, but a rehearing was granted on some of the questions said to be involved. 304 U. S. 175, 546, 587.\nIn this case, we affirmed on May 2, 1938 (304 U.S. 175), the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals, 91 F.2d 922, which held that petitioner had infringed certain patents relating to vacuum tube amplifiers. On May 31st, we granted a rehearing, 304 U.S. 587, upon the following questions which had been presented by the petition for certiorari.\n1. Can the owner of a patent, by means thereof, restrict the use made of a device manufactured under the patent, after the device has passed into the hands of a purchaser in the ordinary channels of trade, and full consideration paid therefor?\n2. Can a patent owner, merely by a \"license notice\" attached to a device made under the patent, and sold in the ordinary channels of trade, place an enforceable restriction on the purchaser thereof as to the use to which the purchaser may put the device?\nUpon further hearing, we are of opinion that neither question should be answered. For we find that, while the devices embody the inventions of the patents in suit, they were not manufactured or sold \"under the patent[s],\" and did not \"pass into the hands of a purchaser in the ordinary channels of trade.\"\nThese are the relevant facts. Amplifiers embodying the invention here involved are useful in several distinct fields. Among these is (a) the commercial field of sound recording and reproducing, which embraces talking picture equipment for theaters, and (b) the private or home field, which embraces radio broadcast reception, radio amateur reception, and radio experimental reception. For the commercial field, exclusive licenses had been granted by the patent pool to Western Electric\nCompany and Electrical Research Products, Inc. For the private or home field, the patent pool granted nonexclusive licenses to about fifty manufacturers. Among these was American Transformer Company. It was licensed\n\"solely and only to the extent and for the uses hereinafter specified and defined . . . to manufacture . . and to sell . . . only for radio amateur reception, radio experimental reception and radio broadcast reception . . . licensed apparatus so manufactured by the Licensee. . . .\"\nThe license provided further:\n\"Nothing herein contained shall be regarded as conferring upon the Licensee either expressly or by estoppel, implication or otherwise, a license to manufacture or sell any apparatus except such as may be manufactured by the Licensee in accordance with the express provision of this Agreement.\"\nTransformer Company, knowing that it had not been licensed to manufacture or to sell amplifiers for use in theaters as part of talking picture equipment, made for that commercial use the amplifiers in controversy and sold them to Pictures Corporation for that commercial use. Pictures Corporation ordered the amplifiers and purchased them knowing that Transformer Company had not been licensed to make or sell them for such use in theaters. Any use beyond the valid terms of a license is, of course, an infringement of a patent. Robinson on Patents, \u00a7 916. If, where a patented invention is applicable to different uses, the owner of the patent may legally restrict a licensee to a particular field and exclude him from others, Transformer Company was guilty of an infringement when it made the amplifiers for, and sold them to, Pictures Corporation. And, as Pictures Corporation ordered, purchased, and leased them knowing the facts, it also was an infringer.\nThe question of law requiring decision is whether the restriction in the license is to be given effect. That a restrictive license is legal seems clear. Mitchell v. Hawley, 16 Wall. 544. As was said in United States v. General Electric Co., 272 U. S. 476, 272 U. S. 489, the patentee may grant a license\n\"upon any condition the performance of which is reasonably within the reward which the patentee by the grant of the patent is entitled to secure.\"\nThe restriction here imposed is of that character. The practice of granting licenses for a restricted use is an old one, See Providence Rubber Co. v. Goodyear, 9 Wall. 788, 76 U. S. 799-800; Gamewall Fire-Alarm Telegraph Co. v. Brooklyn, 14 F. 255. So far as appears, its legality has never been questioned. The parties stipulated that\n\"it is common practice where a patented invention is applicable to different uses, to grant written licenses to manufacture under United States Letters Patents restricted to one or more of the several fields of use permitting the exclusive or nonexclusive use of the invention by the licensee in one field and excluding it in another field.\"\nAs the restriction was legal and the amplifiers were made and sold outside the scope of the license, the effect is precisely the same as if no license whatsoever had been granted to Transformer Company. And, as Pictures Corporation knew the facts, it is in no better position than if it had manufactured the amplifiers itself without a license. It is liable because it has used the invention without license to do so.\nWe have consequently no occasion to consider what the rights of the parties would have been if the amplifier had been manufactured \"under the patent\" and \"had passed into the hands of a purchaser in the ordinary channels of trade.\" Nor have we occasion to consider the effect of a \"licensee's notice\" which purports to restrict the use of articles lawfully sold.\nMR. JUSTICE ROBERTS took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.\nAlmost a century ago, this Court asserted, and time after time thereafter it has reasserted, that, when an article described in a patent is sold and\n\"passes to the hands of a purchaser, it is no longer within the limits of the monopoly. It passes outside of it, and is no longer under the protection of the act of Congress. . . . Contracts in relation to it are regulated by the laws of the State, and are subject to State jurisdiction. [Footnote 1] \"\nA single departure from this judicial interpretation of the patent statute [Footnote 2] was expressly overruled within five years, and this Court again reasserted that commodities, once sold, were not thereafter \"subject to conditions as to use\" imposed by patent owners. [Footnote 3] In result, the judgment here is a second departure from the traditional judicial interpretation of the patent laws.\nAs a consequence of the return to the interpretation of the patent statutes previously repudiated and expressly overruled, petitioner is enjoined from making full use of, and must account in triple damages for using,\ntubes and amplifiers which he owns. He became the owner of the tubes by purchase from various retailers authorized by respondents to sell in the open market. He became the owner of the amplifiers by purchase from a manufacturer who, having the complete right to make them, had contracted to sell only for limited uses. [Footnote 4] The departure here permits the patentee, by virtue of his contract with the manufacturer, to restrict the uses to which this purchaser and owner may put his tubes and amplifiers.\nTransformer Company was authorized by the patentee to make and to sell amplifiers. It did make such amplifiers, of a standard type usable in may fields, [Footnote 5] they\nbecame its property when made, were sold to and became the property of petitioner. The prior opinion in this case, both courts below and the opinion on this rehearing, all refer to the transaction between Transformer Company and petitioner as a sale. Even the very contract authorizing the Transformer Company to make and sell the amplifiers provided:\n\"That, for the purpose of this agreement, all Licensed Apparatus shall be considered as 'sold' when the Licensed Apparatus has been billed out, or if not billed out, when it has been delivered, shipped, or mailed.\"\nNotice to the purchaser in any form could not -- under the patent law -- limit or restrict the use of the amplifiers after they were sold, [Footnote 6] and knowledge by both vendor and purchaser that the articles were purchased for use outside the \"field\" for which the vendor had been given the right to sell made the transaction between them no less a sale. [Footnote 7] Had petitioner, after making the purchase, decided not to use these amplifiers in the forbidden fields, or had they been destroyed prior to such use, certainly the mere state of mind of the parties at the time of sale would not have made them both infringers.\nIndeed, petitioner could use the amplifiers at all only in combination with tubes which it purchased on the open market from retailers authorized by respondents to sell. Therefore, even if the state of mind of vendor and purchaser were material, Transformer Company could\nbe considered an infringer only because it sold a commodity which might, depending on possible events after the sale, be used in infringing combination with another lawfully purchased commodity. The patent law was not intended to accomplish such result. [Footnote 8]\nPetitioner has persistently contended throughout this litigation that no existing trade practice permits a patentee, under guise of a \"license,\" to extend his monopoly to commodities after sale, and has not stipulated otherwise. [Footnote 9] Neither stipulation nor practice could justify\nextension of patent monopoly beyond the limits of legality fixed by Congress and recognized by this Court for over three-quarters of a century.\n\"The statutory authority to grant the exclusive right to 'use' a patented machine . . . is precisely the same, as the authority to grant the exclusive right to 'vend'. . . . [Footnote 10]\"\nA widespread practice of restricting the resale price of articles described in patents [Footnote 11] did not prevent this Court from holding that, once the statutory right to vend has been exercised, \"the added restriction is beyond the protection and purpose of the act.\" [Footnote 12] Similarly, a \"common practice . . . to grant written licenses . . . restricted to one or more . . . fields of . . . use\" cannot prevent the application of\n\"that line of cases in which this Court has, from the beginning, held that a patentee who has parted with a patented machine by passing title to a purchaser has placed the article beyond the limits of the monopoly secured by the patent act. [Footnote 13]\"\nMR. JUSTICE REED joins in this dissent.\nBloomer v. McQuewan, 14 How. 539, 55 U. S. 549-550; See Chaffee v. Boston Belting Co., 22 How. 217, 63 U. S. 223; Mitchell v. Hawley, 16 Wall. 544, 83 U. S. 547; Adams v. Burke, 17 Wall. 453; Wade v. Metcalf, 129 U. S. 202, 129 U. S. 205; Boesch v. Graff, 133 U. S. 697, 133 U. S. 702; Hobbie v. Jennison, 149 U. S. 355; Morgan Envelope Co. v. Albany Paper Co., 152 U. S. 425; Keeler v. Standard Folding Bed Co., 157 U. S. 659; Bauer v. O'Donnell, 229 U. S. 1; Straus v. Victor Talking Machine Co., 243 U. S. 490; Motion Picture Patents Co. v. Universal Film Mfg. Co., 243 U. S. 502; Boston Store v. Amer. Graphophone Co., 246 U. S. 8. The rule asserted in these cases is in accord with the views of Thomas Jefferson, who served as a member of the first Patent Board established by the first Patent Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 109) and who also drafted the comprehensive Patent Law of 1793 (1 Stat. 318). See \"The Jeffersonian Cyclopedia,\" p. 680 (Funk and Wagnalls, 1900). The Acts of 1790 and 1793 granted patentees for fourteen years the exclusive right \"of making, constructing, using and vending to others to be used.\" Mr. Jefferson, referring to the general rules adopted by the first Patent Board, said:\n\"One of those [rules] was that a machine of which we were possessed might be applied by every man to any use of which it is susceptible, and that this right ought not to be taken from him and given to a monopolist, because the first perhaps had occasion so to apply it. Thus, a screw for crushing plaster might be employed for crushing corn-cobs. And a chain pump for raising water might be used for raising wheat, this being merely a change of application.\"\nThe Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. VI, H. A. Washington, Editor, p. 181 (Published by Order of the Joint Committee of Congress on the Library, 1861). After the Patent Board's duties devolved upon the courts, Mr. Jefferson suggested that the rule be \"adopted by the judges\" that \"the purchaser of the right to use the invention should be free to apply it to every purpose of which it is susceptible.\" Id., p. 372. (Italics supplied.)\nUnited States v. General Electric Co., 272 U. S. 476, relied on by the majority here, was not a suit for infringement of a patent, but was an action by the United States under the antitrust laws. The opinion was written by Chief Justice Taft, and applied some of the reasoning of the Button Fastener case, 77 F. 288, in which he had agreed as Circuit Judge to the opinion of Circuit Judge Lurton. Later, this Court, in Henry v. A. B. Dick Co., 224 U. S. 1, with the then Justice Lurton writing the opinion, followed the Button Fastener case. Motion Picture Patents Co. v. Universal Film Mfg. Co., supra, expressly overruled and repudiated the doctrine of the Dick case. In effect, the judgment here once more revives the doctrine of the Button Fastener case.\nThe majority opinion also relies upon Mitchell v. Hawley, supra. It is significant that, in the Hawley case, the patentee never licensed or transferred his exclusive right to sell, and the license conveyed only \"the exclusive right to make and use and to license to others the right to use. . . .\" 16 Wall. at 83 U. S. 548. That case therefore does not justify the judgment here, where the patentee's power to vend was both transferred and exercised.\nHenry v. A. B. Dick Co., 224 U. S. 1, decided March 11, 1912.\nMotion Picture Patents Co. v. Universal Film Mfg. Co., supra, 243 U. S. 516. Similarly, the exercise of the right to vend exhausts the right under a patent to control the price at which an article claimed in the patent may subsequently be sold. Bauer v. O'Donnell, supra; Straus v. Victor Talking Machine Co. supra; Boston Store v. American Graphophone Co., supra.\n\". . . That, Whereas the Licensors represent that they severally own and/or have the right to grant licenses under various United States Letters Patent relating to Power Supply and to Power Amplifier Units, hereinafter termed Licensed Apparatus, . . .\"\n\"1. Each of the Licensors hereby grants under all of the United States Patent useful in the Licensed Apparatus, owned by it and/or with respect to which it has the right to grant licenses, . . . solely and only to the extent and for the uses hereinafter specified and defined, a personal, indivisible, nontransferable and nonexclusive license to the Licensee, to manufacture at its factory . . . , and not elsewhere without previous written permission obtained from the Radio Corporation, and to sell only for radio amateur reception, radio experimental reception, and radio broadcast reception throughout the United States and its territories or dependencies, Licensed Apparatus so manufactured by the Licensee. . . .\"\n(Italics supplied.) Reasonably interpreted, this contract grants the right to make everything described in the patents; the sole limitation on the right to make relates to the place of manufacture. The contract grants the right to sell the manufactured articles, with an attempt by notice to restrict their use in the hands of owners to whom they are sold.\nOne of respondents' officials testified:\n\"These things, these vacuum tubes and and the circuits on which we have patents, are useful in various of these fields, and applicable to many fields. And if we granted licenses not restricted to any particular field, the same things could be used in these other fields.\"\nThe injunction sustained here was decreed by the District Judge on the basis of his conclusion that the amplifiers put to commercial use by petitioner could also be used \"for experimental or radio amateur use,\" as the patentee had desired. 16 F.Supp. 293, 303. Thus, it appears that the very amplifiers made and sold to petitioner were suitable for all \"fields.\"\n\"The statutes relating to patents do not provide for any such notice and it can derive no aid from them.\" Motion Picture Patents Co. case, supra, 243 U. S. 509; Bauer v. O'Donnell, supra; Straus case, supra; Boston Store Case, supra; Carbice Corp. v. American Patents Corp., 283 U. S. 27.\nHobbie v. Jennison, supra; Keeler case, supra; Straus case, supra.\nCf. Morgan Envelope Co. v. Albany Paper Co., supra.\nThe negotiations for stipulation were as follows:\n\"Mr. Neave: Mr. Darby, will you agree that it is common practice, where a patented invention is applicable to different uses, to grant written licenses under United States patents restricted to one or more of the several fields of use, permitting exclusive or nonexclusive use of the invention by the licensee in one field and excluding its use in another field?\"\n\"Mr. Darby: I do not agree. As a matter of fact I believe that just the opposite or the contrary is true.\"\n\"Mr. Darby: . . . Mr. Ashton called me up and told me that Mr. W. H.

I told him I could not conscientiously, because not only could I not agree that that was the common practice, but I know I thoroughly disagree with whether it was or not. In other words, I was confident that was not the common practice. In my own case, I know I would not allow my own clients to do it, because I did not think it was legal.\"\n\"Mr. Darby: I am willing to stipulate it, if it will be of any assistance to Mr. Ashton -- that it is, if he tells me it is, the common practice of the Western Electric Company and the Radio Corporation to do that.\"\n\"Mr. Darby: It is stipulated that it is common practice where a patented invention is applicable to different uses, to grant written licenses to manufacturers under United States Letters Patent restricted to one or more of the several fields of use permitting the exclusive or nonexclusive use of the invention by the licensee in one field and excluding its use in another field.

United States\n1. In a criminal prosecution under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 for willful failure to obey a local board's order to report for assignment to work of national importance, it is no defense that the registrant's classification as a conscientious objector, rather than as a minister, was erroneous. P. 320 U. S. 554.\n2. Assuming a constitutional requirement that judicial review be available to test the validity of the board's classification, Congress was not required to provide for such renew prior to final acceptance of the registrant for service. P. 320 U. S. 554.\nCertiorari, 320 U.S. 209, to review the affirmance of a conviction for violation of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940.\nThe petitioner was indicted on November 12, 1942, in a federal District Court in Pennsylvania for knowingly failing to perform a duty required of him under the Selective\nTraining and Service Act of 1940. [Footnote 1] The particular charge was that, after his local board had classified him as a conscientious objector, he willfully failed to obey the board's order to report for assignment to work of national importance. [Footnote 2] Admitting that his refusal to obey the order was willful, petitioner defended his conduct on the ground that he was entitled to a statutory exemption from all forms of national service since the facts he had presented to the board showed that he was a \"regular or duly ordained\" minister. [Footnote 3] The Act, he argued, does not make it a crime to refuse to obey an order to report for service if that order is based upon an erroneous classification, because there is no \"duty\" to comply with a mistaken order. This defense was seasonably urged, but the District Court declined to recognize it, expressing the view that, \"the Board has the decision of whether or not this man is to be listed as he claims he should be;\" and, at the\nconclusion of the trial, the jury was charged that, \"if you find from the facts that he failed to report -- and there is no evidence to the contrary . . . -- it would be your duty to find him guilty.\" The result of the trial was a conviction and sentence to imprisonment for five years.\nOn appeal, petitioner urged that the District Court had erred in refusing to permit a trial de novo on the merits of his claimed exemption. In the alternative, he argued that at least the Court should have reviewed the classification order to ascertain whether the local board had been \"prejudicial, unfair, and arbitrary\" in that it had failed to admit certain evidence which he offered, had acted on the basis of an antipathy to the religious sect of which he is a member, and had refused to classify him as a minister against the overwhelming weight of the evidence. The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court per curiam, 135 F.2d 464. We granted certiorari because of the importance of the problems involved relating to administration of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, upon which problems the Circuit Courts of Appeal have not expressed uniform views. [Footnote 4]\nWhen the Selective Service and Training Act was passed in September, 1940, most of the world was at war. The preamble of the Act declared it \"imperative to increase and train the personnel of the armed forces of the United States.\" The danger of attack by our present enemies, if not imminent, was real, as subsequent events have grimly demonstrated. The Congress was faced with the urgent necessity of integrating all the nation's people and forces for national defense. That dire consequences might flow from apathy and delay was well understood. Accordingly, the Act was passed to mobilize national manpower with\nthe speed which that necessity and understanding required.\nThe mobilization system which Congress established by the Act is designed to operate as one continuous process for the selection of men for national service. Under the system, different agencies are entrusted with different functions, but the work of each is integrated with that of the others. Selection of registrants for service, and deferments or exemptions from service, are to be effected within the framework of this machinery as implemented by rules and regulations prescribed by the President. [Footnote 5] The selective service process begins with registration with a local board composed of local citizens. The registrant then supplies certain information on a questionnaire furnished by the board. On the basis of that information and, where appropriate, a physical examination, the board classifies him in accordance with standards contained in the Act and the Selective Service Regulations. It then notifies him of his classification. The registrant may contest his classification by a personal appearance before the local board, and, if that board refuses to alter the classification, by carrying his case to a board of appeal, [Footnote 6] and thence, in certain circumstances, to the President.\nOnly after he has exhausted this procedure is a protesting registrant ordered to report for service. If he has been classified for military service, his local board orders him to report for induction into the armed forces. If he has been classified a conscientious objector opposed to noncombatant military service, as was petitioner, he ultimately is ordered by the local board to report for work of national importance. In each case, the registrant is under the same obligation to obey the order. But in neither case is the order to report the equivalent of acceptance for service. Completion of the functions of the local boards and appellate agencies, important as are these functions, is not the end of the selective service process. The selectee may still be rejected at the induction center, and the conscientious objector who is opposed to noncombatant duty may be rejected at the civilian public service camp. [Footnote 7] The connected series of steps into the national service which begins with registration with the local board does not end until the registrant is accepted by the army, navy, or civilian public service camp. Thus, a board order to report is no more than a necessary intermediate step in a united and continuous process designed to raise an army speedily and efficiently.\nIn this process, the local board is charged in the first instance with the duty to make the classification of registrants which Congress, in its complete discretion, [Footnote 8] saw fit\nto authorize. Even if there were, as the petitioner argues, a constitutional requirement that judicial review must be available to test the validity of the decision of the local board, it is certain that Congress was not required to provide for judicial intervention before final acceptance of an individual for national service. The narrow question therefore presented by this case is whether Congress has authorized judicial review of the propriety of a board's classification in a criminal prosecution for willful violation of an order directing a registrant to report for the last step in the selective process.\nWe think it has not. The Act nowhere explicitly provides for such review, and we have found nothing in its legislative history which indicates an intention to afford it. The circumstances under which the Act was adopted lend no support to a view which would allow litigious interruption of the process of selection which Congress created. To meet the need which it felt for mobilizing national manpower in the shortest practicable period, Congress established a machinery which it deemed efficient for inducting great numbers of men into the armed forces. Careful provision was made for fair administration of the Act's policies within the framework of the selective service process. But Congress apparently regarded \"a prompt and unhesitating obedience to orders\" issued in that process \"indispensable to the complete attainment of the object\" of national defense. Martin v. Mott, 12 Wheat.19, 25 U. S. 30. Surely, if Congress had intended to authorize interference with that process by intermediate challenges of orders to report, it would have said so.\nAgainst this background, the complete absence of any provision for such challenges in the very section providing for prosecution of violations in the civil courts permits no\nother inference than that Congress did not intend they could be made. The instant case offers a striking example of the consequences of any other view. Petitioner, 25 years of age, unmarried, and apparently in good health, registered with his local board on October 16, 1940. He claimed exemption August 23, 1941. Consideration of his claim by the local board and the board of appeal delayed his classification, so that his final order to report was not issued until September 2, 1942. Today, one year and four months after this order, he is still litigating the question.\n54 Stat. 885, 50 U.S.C.Appendix \u00a7\u00a7 301-318. Section 11 imposes criminal sanctions for willful failure or neglect to perform any duty required by the Act or by rules or regulations made pursuant to the Act.\nUnder Section 5(g) of the Act, a registrant who, \"by reason of religious training and belief,\" is conscientiously opposed to participation in war may be inducted into the land or naval forces, but must be assigned to noncombatant service as defined by the President. If, for similar reasons, a registrant is conscientiously opposed even to participation in noncombatant service, he is not to be inducted into the armed forces at all. but \"shall . . . be assigned to work of national importance under civilian direction.\" Regulations, not here challenged, impose on selectees a duty to obey board orders to report for induction or assignment.\nSection 5(d) of the Act provides in part: \"Regular or duly ordained ministers of religion . . . shall be exempt from training and service (but not from registration) under this Act.\" The local board refused to find that petitioner was a minister, and further declined to classify him as a conscientious objector. Upon review, a board of appeal, set up under Section 10(a)(2), sustained the local board's refusal to exempt petitioner as a minister, but directed that he be classified as a conscientious objector.\nSee, for example, Goff v. United States, 135 F.2d 610, 612; Rase v. United States, 129 F.2d 204, 207; Ex parte Catanzaro, 138 F.2d 100, 101; United States v. Kauten, 133 F.2d 703, 706, 707; United States v. Grieme, 128 F.2d 811, 814-815.\nSection 10(a)(2) of the Act provides in part that\n\". . . local boards, under rules and regulations prescribed by the President, shall have power within their respective jurisdictions to hear and determine, subject to the right of appeal to the appeal boards herein authorized, all questions of claims with respect to inclusion for, or exemption or deferment from, training and service under this Act of all individuals within the jurisdiction of such local boards. The decisions of such local boards shall be final except where an appeal is authorized in accordance with such rules and regulations as the President may prescribe.\"\nPursuant to the grant of authority conferred by the Act, the President, through appropriate executive agencies, has promulgated and from time to time amended comprehensive Selective Service Regulations.\nA registrant may not, however, appeal from the determination of his physical or mental condition. Selective Service Regulations, \u00a7 627.2(a).\nSection 3(a) of the Act provides in part that\n\". . . no man shall be inducted for training and service under this Act unless and until he is acceptable to the land or naval forces for such training and service and his physical and mental fitness for such training and service has been satisfactorily determined. . . .\"\nWe are informed by the government that, pursuant to this section, approximately forty percent of the selectees who report under orders of local boards for induction into the armed forces are rejected, and that, as of October 15, 1943, six hundred and ten of the eight thousand selectees who had reported for civilian work of national importance had been rejected.\nSee Hamilton v. Regents, concurring opinion, 293 U. S. 245, 293 U. S. 265, 293 U. S. 266-268; see also Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U. S. 11, 197 U. S. 29; MacIntosh v. United States, 42 F.2d 845, 847, 848; 283 U. S. 283 U.S. 605, dissenting opinion, 283 U. S. 627, 283 U. S. 632; United States v. Bethlehem Steel Corp., 315 U. S. 289, 315 U. S. 305.\nMR. JUSTICE RUTLEDGE, concurring.\nI concur in the result and in the opinion of the Court, except in one respect. Petitioner claims the local board's order of classification was invalid because that board refused to classify petitioner as a minister on the basis of an antipathy to the religious sect of which he is a member. And, if the question were open, the record discloses that some evidence tendered to sustain this charge was excluded in the trial court. But petitioner has made no such charge concerning the action of the appeal board which reviewed and affirmed the local board's order. And there is nothing to show that the appeal board acted otherwise than according to law. If, therefore, the local board's order was invalid originally for the reason claimed, as to which I express no opinion, whatever defect may have existed was cured by the appeal board's action. Apart from some challenge upon constitutional grounds, I have no doubt that Congress could and did exclude judicial review of Selective Service orders like that in question. Accordingly, I agree that the conviction must be sustained.\nThis case presents another aspect of the perplexing problem of reconciling basic principles of justice with military\nneeds in wartime. Individual rights have been recognized by our jurisprudence only after long and costly struggles. They should not be struck down by anything less than the gravest necessity. We assent to their temporary suspension only to the extent that they constitute a clear and present danger to the effective prosecution of the war, and only as a means of preserving those rights undiminished for ourselves and future generations. Before giving such an assent, therefore, we should be convinced of the existence of a reasonable necessity, and be satisfied that the suspension is in accordance with the legislative intention.\nThe immediate issue is whether the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 must be interpreted so as to deprive alleged violators of the right to a full hearing and of the right to present every reasonable defense. Petitioner, a member of Jehovah's Witnesses, claimed to be a minister exempt from both military training and civilian work under the Act. After exhausting all the administrative remedies and appeals afforded by the Act, he was classified as a conscientious objector (Class IV-E), rather than as a minister (Class IV-D). Petitioner alleges that this classification was contrary to law, and was the result of arbitrary action by his local board. On the assumption that these allegations are true, the subsequent order to report for assignment to work of national importance, which he disobeyed, must therefore be considered invalid. Our problem is simply whether petitioner can introduce evidence to that effect as a defense to a criminal prosecution for failure to obey the order.\nCommon sense and justice dictate that a citizen accused of a crime should have the fullest hearing possible, plus the opportunity to present every reasonable defense. Only an unenlightened jurisprudence condemns an individual without according him those rights. Such a denial is especially oppressive where a full hearing might disclose\nthat the administrative action underlying the prosecution is the product of excess wartime emotions. Experience demonstrates that, in time of war, individual liberties cannot always be entrusted safely to uncontrolled administrative discretion. Illustrative of this proposition is the remark, attributed to one of the members of petitioner's local board, to the effect that \"I do not have any damned use for Jehovah's Witnesses.\" The presumption against foreclosing the defense of illegal and arbitrary administrative action is therefore strong. Only the clearest statutory language or an unmistakable threat to the public safety can justify a court in shutting the door to such a defense. Because I am convinced that neither the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 nor the war effort compels the result reached by the majority of this Court, I am forced to dissent.\nIt is evident that there is no explicit provision in the Act permitting the raising of this particular defense, and that the legislative history is silent on the matter. Suffice it to say, however, that nothing in the statute or in its legislative record proscribes this defense or warrants the conviction of petitioner without benefit of a full hearing. Judicial protection of an individual against arbitrary and illegal administrative action does not depend upon the presence or absence of express statutory authorization. The power to administer complete justice and to consider all reasonable pleas and defenses must be presumed in the absence of legislation to the contrary. [Footnote 2/1]\nMoreover, the structure of the Act is entirely consistent with judicial review of induction orders in criminal proceedings. As the majority states, the Act is designed \"to\noperate as one continuous process for the selection of men for national service,\" and it is desirable that this process be free from \"litigious interruption.\" But we are faced here with a complete and permanent interruption springing not from any affirmative judicial intervention, but from a failure to obey an order. A criminal proceeding before a court is therefore inevitable, and the only problem is the availability of a particular defense in that proceeding. Hence, judicial review at this stage has none of the elements of a \"litigious interruption\" of the administrative process.\nNo other barriers to judicial review of the induction order in a criminal proceeding are revealed by the structure of the Act. The \"continuous process\" of selection is unique -- unlike any ordinary administrative proceeding. Normal concepts of administrative law are foreign to this setting. Thus, rules preventing judicial review of interlocutory administrative orders and requiring exhaustion of the administrative process have no application here. Those rules are based upon the unnecessary inconvenience which the administrative agency would suffer if its proceedings were interrupted by premature judicial intervention. But, since the administrative process has already come to a final ending, the reason for applying such rules no longer exists. And, even if the order in this case were considered interlocutory, rather than final, which is highly questionable, judicial review at this point is no less necessary. Criminal punishment for disobedience of an arbitrary and invalid order is objectionable regardless of whether the order be interlocutory or final.\nNor do familiar doctrines of the exclusiveness of statutory remedies have any relevance here. Had Congress created a statutory judicial review procedure prior to or following induction, the failure to take advantage of such a review or the judicial approval of the induction order upon appeal might bar a collateral attack on the order in\na criminal proceeding. But Congress has erected no such system of judicial review. Courts are left to their own devices in fashioning whatever review they deem just and necessary.\nThus, there is no express or implied barrier to the raising of this defense or to the granting of a full judicial review of induction orders in criminal proceedings. Courts have not hesitated to make such review available in habeas corpus proceedings following induction, despite the absence of express statutory authorization. Where, as here, induction will never occur and the habeas corpus procedure is unavailable, judicial review in a criminal proceeding becomes imperative if petitioner is to be given any protection against arbitrary and invalid administrative action. [Footnote 2/2] It is significant that, in analogous situations in the past, although without passing upon the precise issue, we have supplied such a necessary review in criminal proceedings. Cf. Union Bridge Co. v. United States, 204 U. S. 364; Monongahela Bridge Co. v. United States, 216 U. S. 177; McAllister, \"Statutory Roads to Review of Federal Administrative Orders,\" 28 California L.Rev. 129, 165, 166. See also Fire Department of City of New York v. Gilmour, 149 N.Y. 453, 44 N.E. 177; People v. McCoy, 125 Ill. 289, 17 N.E. 786.\nFinally, the effective prosecution of the war in no way demands that petitioner be denied a full hearing in this case. We are concerned with a speedy and effective\nmobilization of armed forces. But that mobilization is neither impeded nor augmented by the availability of judicial review of local board orders in criminal proceedings. In the rare case where the accused person can prove the arbitrary and illegal nature of the administrative action, the induction order should never have been issued, and the armed forces are deprived of no one who should have been inducted. And where the defendant is unable to prove such a defense or where, pursuant to this Court's opinion, he is forbidden even to assert this defense, the prison, rather than the Army or Navy, is the recipient of his presence. Thus, the military strength of this nation gains naught by the denial of judicial review in this instance.\nTo say that the availability of such a review would encourage disobedience of induction orders, or that denial of a review would have a deterrent effect, is neither demonstrable nor realistic. There is no evidence that petitioner failed to obey the local board order because of a belief that he could secure a judicial reversal of the order, and thus escape the duty to defend his country. Those who seek such a review are invariable those whose conscientious or religious scruples would prevent them from reporting for induction regardless of the availability of this defense. And I am not aware that disobedience has multiplied in the Fourth Circuit, where this defense has been allowed. Baxley v. United States, 134 F.2d 998; Goff v. United States, 135 F.2d 610. Moreover, English courts, under identical circumstances during the last war, unhesitatingly provided a full hearing and reviewed orders to report for permanent service. Offord v. Hiscock, 86 L.J.K.B. 941; Hawkes v. Moxey, 86 L.J.K.B. 1530. Yet that did not noticeably impede the efficiency or speed of England's mustering of an adequate military force.\nThat an individual should languish in prison for five years without being accorded the opportunity of proving\nthat the prosecution was based upon arbitrary and illegal administrative action is not in keeping with the high standards of our judicial system. Especially is this so where neither public necessity nor rule of law or statute leads inexorably to such a harsh result. The law knows no finer hour than when it cuts through formal concepts and transitory emotions to protect unpopular citizens against discrimination and persecution. I can perceive no other course for the law to take in this case.\nOtherwise, the absence of clear statutory permission would preclude court review of induction orders in habeas corpus proceedings following actual induction -- a result which this Court's opinion presumably does not intend to infer. Judicial review in such proceedings has become well settled in lower federal courts.\nJudge Robert C. Bell of the federal district court in Minnesota, in his article \"Selective Service and the Courts,\" 28 A.B.A.Journal 164, 167, states,\n\"The courts are likely to be confronted with the question of what can be presented as a defense by a selectee in a criminal prosecution against him for a violation of the provisions of the Act of 1940. It appears that this question has not been decided. On principle, it would seem that the defendant should be permitted to offer as a defense the same questions that he could present in a habeas corpus proceeding -- that is, the question of whether the board had jurisdiction, whether there was a fair hearing, or whether the action of the board was arbitrary or unlawful.\"",

I'm on my last chance at work, if I fuck\u2026 - If life is a carnival, can I stay here a while?\nlouisianamudbug :: (no subject)\nTom has my nuts in a vice. I'm on my last chance at work, if I fuck up one more time I'm fired. I have been trying to curb the attitude, to leave the bullshit at home or at work and not bring what's bothering me in my personal life to work with me. I have to conform, to be even more of a corporate puppet. My managment always hears negative things about me, and I swear the next time I'm with a customer and they tell me I have a great personality or that I'm doing a good job I'm going to say \"Please tell my manager that.\" It seems that the harder I push myself to do my job well and to be good with the customers it blows up in my fucking face. Tom told me today that I am becomming my own downfall. I thought about that, and he's right. The apathy I feel towards my job half the time I'm there will cause me to lose something that I do love. As much as I bitch, I do love working there, music is my passion. Well it's a close second to writing. Essentially his message was \"shape up or ship out\". If I can successfully conform, will that make me a sell-out? Or does it just show that I'm willing to keep my job and improve my skills? I have too many concerns about conforming, and that will ultimatly be my undoing. Next week I have big plans for myself on my days off. I'm going to head over to 27th & Wells to the Literacy Centre, and enroll for classes to get my diploma. I'm considering doing school full-time and working after I've gotten my diploma, but that is something I'll need to discuss with my mother since she does rely on the money I give her from each paycheck. *sits in a corner and thinks*\nCurrent Music: Big n Rich-Saved\nlouisianamudbug\nJen, honey! I know you love working there, I did too. I'm sorry Tom's being such a hard ass...but that's Tom for you. He's trying to help you. The way that I see it...if you can \"successfully conform\" as you put it it doesn't show that you're selling out...it shows that you want to better yourself. Sam Goody is a good company, and you have a lot of potential. Don't worry so much about being a \"sell out\" there's a difference in conforming at work and conforming to society. You can still be the Jen I love and be an outstanding employee for Tom. It is hard to keep work and personal seperate, but it can be done. If you feel like something in your personal life is about to interfer with your work...just take a breather...see if someone can cover you for a few minutes or take some time while no one is in the store to go off and straigten the CD's or movies. Just to regain your focus. I love you Jen, and really hope you don't lose your job, because I saw it in your eyes the day you came in for your interview...you really want that job. Just remember to be yourself...you're such a sweet girl, let customers see it and management. Shami knows you and knows how much of a hard worker you are. Just show the rest of them. I know they aren't nearly as cool as Kim was...but you gotta deal. Remember who loves you. *raise hand* I DO!!! *smooches*",

The classic rock that was so revelatory in middle school expanded my horizons and led me to grunge, metal, and stoner rock phases throughout my late teens. By the time I entered college I\u2019d never genuinely been a fan of a single hip-hop artist apart from the now-defunct comedic hip-hop duo Das Racist\u2026 I suppose I did like Eminem, but being a white suburban teen, that was more out of obligation than undying fandom. I was still aware enough to realize I was missing out on something, but the juvenile punk rock mentality I had developed kept me from \u201cgiving in\u201d to what I perceived as a lesser form of music.\nIt wasn\u2019t until I saw a reddit thread announcing the premature release of Kanye West\u2019s Yeezus that I realized I was missing out on something. The excitement was palpable, and the title (\u201cSo uh\u2026 Yeezus leaked.\u201d) was intriguing enough to lead me to search the album out. I was so out of the hip-hop loop that I didn\u2019t even realize this was a Kanye West album until I Googled it. I figured what did I have to lose? I downloaded the album, listened to it twice and didn\u2019t get it. I knew Kanye was one of the biggest artists in the game (especially after his monumental 2010 album), but Yeezus on its own didn\u2019t reveal to me to see what others saw in him.\nIronically, that same summer I had also gone down the rabbit hole that is Ween and discovered the beautiful insanity that is John Frusciante. Perhaps through those two artists I\u2019d built up a tolerance to \u201cdissonant\u201d music because I ended up revisiting Yeezus during a vacation later that summer and fell in love with the record. The song \u201cBound 2\u201d specifically hooked me early on and ended up being replayed constantly over the course of the trip. Everything from the sample, to the delivery, to the punchlines, to the way that Kanye twisted his words over the beat was amazing to me\u2026 and it was something that only that song did. Everything else on my iPod was rock, Yeezus was the only album within those 120 gigs that sounded anything like that. That same trip I heard \u201cCan\u2019t Tell Me Nothing\u201d and took it as a cosmic sign I needed to give Kanye a chance and check out the rest of his discography. I downloaded the rest of Kanye\u2019s studio albums and figured that would be that. He was the only good hip-hop.\nA year and a half later at the beginning of 2015 I found myself balls-deep in college, chipping away at a handful of remaining courses as I entered one of my last years of school. While I\u2019d enjoyed my trip through Kanye\u2019s discography, that journey didn\u2019t lead me any deeper down the rabbit hole of hip-hop, instead I\u2019d thrown myself deeper into rock and the genre was beginning to lose its luster as I found myself listening to more and more podcasts. Ironically, inspired by two separate reddit posts: one for Lil Wayne\u2019s mixtape Sorry 4 the Wait 2, and a second (now deleted thread) for Drake\u2019s surprise album If You\u2019re Reading This It\u2019s Too Late both inspired me to give those releases a listen. Once again the excitement and experiences of complete strangers led me to albums I never thought I\u2019d be listening to. Both Lil Wayne and Drake were artists which I had previously written off as musical fast food, yet they were both single-handedly inspiring hype and excitement the likes of which I had rarely seen online.\nBetween the epic history of Wayne\u2019s Tha Carter V and the thinly-veiled shots both he and Drake seemingly took at Birdman on these releases, I realized I was missing out on something. That\u2019s not to mention all the excitement, hype, and inside jokes that comes with the territory of hip-hop. These two releases opened the floodgates.\nBased on how pumped Sorry 4 the Wait 2 got me in the gym, I was led to Young Thug, one of many rappers heavily-inspired by Lil Wayne. I\u2019ll never be able to articulate why I love Young Thug as well as some of the articles written by professionals and music journalists, but things like this Instagram and this website speak for themselves. Young Thug is a creative force who has dismantled the previous boundaries established by the genre of hip-hop and created a sound rooted in upending the listener\u2019s expectations. He\u2019s a gangster who wears dresses. He\u2019s a cold-blooded killer who calls his best friends \u201cbae.\u201d He\u2019s a man who has written absurd lyrics like \u201cI'mma ride in that pussy like a stroller\u201d and made it sound so fucking natural.\nIf Lil Wayne and Drake opened my personal floodgates to hip-hop, then Young Thug removed the hinges and turned me into the type of hip-hop head that there is no coming back from. A month later, Kendrick Lamar dropped To Pimp a Butterfly, an album widely-considered one of the best since Kanye\u2019s MBDTF. On the opposite end of the hip-hop spectrum Travis Scott released Rodeo which quickly became one of my favorite \u201cless lyrically substantive\u201d releases of the year. Both of these releases showed me that hip-hop can\u2019t be placed in a single box, it\u2019s more than drugs and women (though they are still discussed often). That summer Vince Staples released Summertime \u201806 and Future released DS2. These releases ended up serving as a perfect \u201csample platter\u201d of what the genre could do. These albums along with the infamous Drake/Meek Mill Beef made me feel like I was a part of something not only bigger than myself, but more exciting than any other genre I\u2019d ever been a fan of.\n2015 represented a sea change in my musical perspective. Hip-hop is now my primary genre and I visit boards like /r/hiphopheads every day. It\u2019s a scene that\u2019s ever-changing in the most exciting ways. I\u2019m just glad my eyes were opened when they were and that I\u2019m now no longer missing out on an entire world I didn\u2019t even know existed. It was childish to withhold an entire genre of music from myself, and I\u2019ll never make that mistake again. As much as I wanted to pretend that I was musically-diverse, you\u2019re still only as adventurous as you want to be, and if a lack of adventurousness means missing out, then you\u2019re doing music wrong. Music should be fun, enjoy what you enjoy, but don\u2019t ever close yourself off to something, because it just might be your next obsession. That\u2019s a lesson I\u2019ll carry forward for the rest of my life, and I owe that all to a guy who compared his teeth to toilet paper. Sometimes brilliance can come from the most unexpected places.\nyoung thug, drake, hip-hop, music\nDecisiveness and Consumption",

As the owner of an e-commerce store, it\u2019s sometimes easy to forget this. Doing so, however, can lead to a great number of troubles down the line, the biggest one being that nobody will want to bring their custom to you if they aren\u2019t made to feel welcome or appreciated when doing so.\nFor this reason, it is paramount that you put improving your e-commerce customer service skills.\nHere\u2019s how to set about doing it.\nGive Multichannel Marketing A Go\nOffer Live Chat\nEnhance Your Shipping Efforts\nAlways Measure Customer Satisfaction\nCustomers don\u2019t like to feel pigeonholed. They like to feel as if they are in control of how, when and where they take their custom, and they don\u2019t want to be made to go out of their own way for anything. It is for this reason why you need to provide customer service that is tailored around them, which means, first and foremost, that you should be bringing it to them.\nThis means finding out what online platforms your customers are spending the majority of their time on, and you then putting your efforts into advertising in those specific areas.\nAs your customers will be spending time in different corners of the web, you\u2019re going to have to give multichannel marketing a go.\nThis means providing customer service across a multitude of different online forums and making sure each different type of customer of yours gets information about your business brought directly to them. If you want to do this effectively, don\u2019t be too quick to dismiss the role that the age-old marketing platform that is the email can play.\nThe capabilities of this type of advertising can never be underestimated, especially for you as you seek to boost your customer service, because of just how effective it is in regards to communication and reach.\nWhat makes it such an important marketing tool for you is the fact that, more than likely, every customer that you deal with will have an email address that they check regularly.\nMost will check it before they do anything else in their working day. Even more, will check it at frequent intervals throughout the working day. Some will even check it every five minutes.\nWhat this all means is that, when you use email, you can communicate with your customers, both those that are current and prospective, freely at all times in a way that suits them, and they will appreciate that.\nAs well as bringing customer service to your customers, you should also be able to provide it to them when they do actively seek you out.\nTo do this, you have to make yourself accessible at all points throughout your designated working hours, and possibly even beyond.\nThe best way to provide such accessibility, today, is to install a live chat feature on your company website. By doing so, your customers will be able to receive swift answers to any queries that they have about your business, and they will be able to seek quick resolutions to any problems that they may have in regards to the products or services that you offer.\nFor these reasons, incorporating a live chat feature into your customer service strategy is, quite simply, a must.\nAdditional tip: In regards to being accessible at all times, you should absolutely ensure that your website is up and running all day and all night long. You need to do so because if a customer were to head to your site in search of vital information regarding your business practices, and they weren\u2019t able to find what they were looking for due to your site being inactive, their impatience would drive them away. More than likely, they would be driven to a competitor in your market. To keep your site active, then, what you should be doing is having a piece of uptime technology monitor your site for downtime. This kind of tech would watch your site 24/7 for any instances of it being down, and would then alert you right away should it discover any.\nWhat customers want most of all is good, quick service. If you can\u2019t provide this to them, then, regardless of what you\u2019ve done before in regards to it, your customer service will take a hit.\nThis means that you need to be enhancing your shipping efforts to the point where they are practically faultless.\nQuite simply, none of your customers should be experiencing problems in regards to the quality of the products that you provide, neither should they be receiving their products late.\nTo enhance your shipping efforts to a faultless level you should, first, ensure you are working with the right kinds of packing materials.\nThis means using the right size boxes in comparison to what it is you are shipping \u2014 by constantly using big boxes for small items, you waste money that can otherwise be spent on shipping enhancement.\nWhat\u2019s more, you should be packing each box that you send out with protective measures, such as bubble wrap or packing peanuts, to ensure no damage occurs during the traveling process.\nYou can see more about what it takes to enhance your shipping efforts at Fulfilltopia.\nIn order to constantly build your customer service skills and enhance them, you have to have real customer feedback to review and study.\nThis means asking customers to answer a few questions in regards to the service that you provided them once their time dealing with your business is over, and you should ask them to share their experiences with you via your social media channels.\nReceiving this kind of information is the only way you are going to know what areas of your service need to be improved.\nIf you want your e-commerce business to thrive, then you need to be taking customer service as seriously as you would if you were running a real-world brick-and-mortar retail business.\nQuestion: Do you know any other ways on how to improve your e-commerce customer service?

        "raw_content": "Would you use a subscription car service ? Carly starts in March\nThe automotive industry is being disrupted with services like Uber, Lyft and in the not too distant future, autonomous vehicles. This means we\u2019re really changing the way we think...\nThe automotive industry is being disrupted with services like Uber, Lyft and in the not too distant future, autonomous vehicles. This means we\u2019re really changing the way we think about vehicle ownership.\nIntroducing Carly. This service lets you pay a monthly subscription to borrow one car at a time, but switch it whenever you want for another car.\nThink about it, generally, your daily commute should be something economical, but next month you fancy some home improvement, so fancy a trip or two to Ikea, and Bunnings, for that, you\u2019ll need a ute. Then the following month, you plan a road trip with the family during the long weekend and would love a station wagon. It\u2019s the end of the year and summer means you want to tow your jetski and motorbikes around. For this, you\u2019ll want a more capable SUV.\nCarly would allow you switch between vehicles, simply and easily, to suit your ever changing needs. Carly allows users to switch cars on a monthly basis.\nA simple monthly payment covers insurance, registration and servicing. That monthly payment starts at A$180 per week. That may sound like a lot, but so does A$80,000 as a one off purchase, as well as the maintenance costs. Obviously you still pay for fuel with Carly, but the rest is included in that monthly price.\nIn addition to flexibility, convenience is a strong drawcard for Carly. Rather than having to pay separate fees for a car loan/lease payment, car registration, roadside assistance, comprehensive insurance and CTP insurance \u2013 along with ongoing maintenance costs, subscribers simply pay a single monthly subscription fee and Carly takes care of the rest.\nAt launch, they\u2019re offering access to 20 automotive brands covering everything from economy to luxury and hatchback to SUV. Carly says they will have popular brands including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Toyota, Subaru, Holden and Hyundai.\nBasically the success of subscription services and people\u2019s willingness to replace a one off bulk payment, with an monthly payment, encouraged Carly to pursue the model. Think of our mobile plan, or services like Netflix which are good example of the massive shift to subscription services. I\u2019d add Spotify, Foxtel and even Microsoft\u2019s success with Office 365 subscriptions, as well as their Xbox Live and Game Pass.\nThe convenience and flexibility of subscription is a natural fit for how we want to access cars today. Carly provides an easier way to get into the car you want, without the hassle, while providing the flexibility to change the car when your life changes.\nCarly is a drastically different approach that recognises that traditional car ownership and car leasing models aren\u2019t providing the options that people now want. If you value flexibility; if you like the idea of being able to start, stop or change your car subscription as your lifestyle changes and don\u2019t want to be tied into a long-term car loan or lease, then Carly is a far better solution.\nCEO, Chris Noone\nWith the freedom to stop and start the subscription at any time, Carly is perfect for those who are travelling overseas and don\u2019t want to spend money on an idle car. Similarly, if a subscriber is looking to save money for a few months, they can simply turn off their subscription.\nOnce subscribed to the service, drivers can choose their first car, which will be delivered directly to their door. They can continue subscribing to that car for as long as they like, or they can choose to switch it for a different car each month.\nCarly will launch in March 2019.\nA special pre-launch $200 subscription upgrade is available for people who pre-register at https://www.carly.co/\nCarlySubscriptionVehicles",

Most of the women who have come out on social media describing the incidences happened with them at the workplace long back, and now they are doing to gain rapid attention, sympathy and monetary benefits. She was speaking in a session \u2013 \u201cBeyond the Female Eunuch\u201d at Jaipur Literature Festival. On this contrary remark, women sitting in the audience made a backlash \u2013 \u201cAt least #MeToo has given strength to women to speak out.\u201d\nGreer, who is well-known more for radical and liberal feminism rather than equality feminism, has said that the nos. of cases of sexual harassment and rape have not gone down after #MeToo. It didn\u2019t work as a solution to the problem. She understands \u2013 \u201cIf such incidence happens with you, you must stand, go to the police immediately, and report it. Writing on social media and charging the offender will not result in justice. Further, it will harass his family and person if he is innocent. If the offense is registered with police and person has to appear in the court on a regular basis to prove him right.\u201d\nIn the same session, she also expressed her view on Nirbhaya Rape Case. \u201cIn her opinion, Nirbhaya case was the more grave matter of murder than rape,\u201d she said. Rajasthan Patrika has covered her session.\nGreer has been running her activism while emphasizing on \u201cvictim has the privilege to live with same pride after rape as she has before.\u201d In one of her most discussed column in The Guardian, 6 March 1995: Call Rape By Another Name she has written \u2013 \u201cRape is not the worst thing that can happen to a woman. If a woman allows a man to have sex with her to avoid a beating, then arguably she fears the beating more. A woman who has been raped has no reason to feel shame (and therefore no need for anonymity), and a female-centred view of rape will not fashion it as something that can \u2018ruin\u2019 a woman. She may be outraged and humiliated\u2026but she cannot be damaged in any essential way by the simple fact of the presence of an unwelcome penis in her vagina.\u201d\nGreer started her career as a columnist as \u2018Dr. G\u2019 for then\u2019s most controversial, counter-culture magazine Oz where she was featured on the cover of the magazine and her image as \u2018Germaine Greer knits private part\u2019 was carried on later editions of Oz.

        "title": "Will North Korea follow in Vietnam\u2019s footsteps? | The ASEAN Post",
        "raw_content": "US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (C) walks through the streets of Hanoi, Vietnam on 8 July, 2018. (Andrew Harnik / Pool / AFP Photo)\nOver the weekend, talks on denuclearisation between United States (US) Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo and Pyongyang seemed to have elicited differing reactions from both sides. Pompeo hailed the talks as having \u201cmade progress on almost all of the central issues\u201d whereas North Korea slammed Washington\u2019s \u201cgangster-like\u201d approach towards forcing unilateral disarmament and called the talks \u201cregrettable.\u201d\nThe point of contention had always been the term \u201cdenuclearisation.\u201d Where Washington wants a \u201ccomplete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement\u201d (CVID) of Pyongyang\u2019s nuclear capabilities, Kim favours a gradual process of political normalisation and the reduction of US military presence in the Korean Peninsula and not the Libyan model of a complete surrender of its nuclear arsenal.\nFor long, Pyongyang has had its reservations with the Libyan model \u2013 given Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi\u2019s fate when he dismantled his state nuclear program. Moreover, the Trump administration\u2019s tendency to suggest that North Korea\u2019s denuclearisation process should follow the Libyan model has raised the ire of the Kim regime and almost led to Pyongyang pulling out of the historic 12 June meeting.\nIf the Libyan experience is too controversial an approach for the North to accept, there is a different model that has been touted about of late \u2013 Vietnam.\nIn his speech in Hanoi after departing from Pyongyang, Pompeo urged Kim\u2019s regime to replicate Vietnam which bolstered its engagement with the US after the devastation of the Vietnam War. He pointed to how the former communist nation which was then an enemy of the US is now a thriving economic partner.\nUS-Vietnam trade has since grown 8,000 percent over the last decade. In 2007, both nations signed a bilateral agreement to expand and deepen bilateral trade and investment ties. Hence, following that logic, if both countries could set aside their ideological disparities and wartime differences and work together, North Korea could potentially do the same for the sake of its own future.\n\u201cI say all of that because it's important, but I hope that the United States, that one day we can share the same relationship with North Korea,\u201d Pompeo remarked.\n\u201cIn light of the once-unimaginable prosperity and partnership we have with Vietnam today, I have a message for Chairman Kim Jong Un,\u201d he said. \u201cPresident Trump believes your country can replicate this path.\u201d\n\u201cIt's yours if you'll seize the moment. The miracle could be yours. The choice now lies with North Korea and its people,\u201d he proclaimed.\nReality or a far-fetched dream?\nBy the looks of it, North Korea is already on a similar path as Vietnam. At the end of the Vietnam war, improvement of ties between Hanoi and Washington began with the reparations of the remains of US prisoners of war (POW) and missing in action (MIA) personnel.\nLikewise, the Singapore declaration signed at the end of the Trump-Kim summit included a commitment on both sides to return the remains of US soldiers who went missing in North Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War. A little more than a week after the summit, Trump said that Pyongyang had repatriated the remains of 200 US soldiers who went missing during the war. According to the Department of Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency nearly 7,700 US servicemen are still unaccounted for from the Korean War and close to 5,300 are believed to be in North Korean territory.\nHowever, there is a stark difference between Vietnam\u2019s post-war experience and North Korea\u2019s current situation \u2013 Vietnam was never a nuclear power and it is of less strategic importance to China than North Korea.\nHanoi never had a nuclear arsenal to use as leverage when negotiating with the US. On the contrary, the party which assumed leadership after the war \u2013 and is still in power until today \u2013 needed as much economic assistance as it could get in order to remedy its wartime economic plight. The country did initially experiment with the Chinese agrarian based socialist economic reform model but ultimately resorted to the western model of market reforms. Known as Doi Moi, the reforms prioritised the creation of a market economy and avenues for foreign investment and private sector competition. In that vein, Vietnam eventually normalised relations with Washington and improved its trade relations with its former foe.\nNorth Korea on the other hand, doesn\u2019t require a complete overhaul of its economic system. For many decades, it was reliant on Beijing for economic support and aid. Thanks to its geographic proximity with China, it was in Beijing\u2019s best interests to help sustain the North Korean economy which acted as a buffer state between the US\u2019 close ally, South Korea. Outside of that, North Korea often employed a plethora of illicit ways to fund the running of its government and its nuclear programs including the drug trade, cybercrime and illegal weapons sales. Combined, it allowed Pyongyang to develop weapons-grade nuclear capabilities that it used to its advantage to squeeze as much as it could from the US.\nCurrent talks between North Korea and the US are also attributed to economic sanctions on the North which the Trump administration claims is what brought them to the talking table in the first place. Nevertheless, in light of Pyongyang\u2019s historical ties with China, it is more likely that Kim\u2019s regime would opt for a Dengist-like Chinese model as opposed to a Vietnamese one. After all, given that Beijing has been the economic lifeline of the North for years, they would be first on the list of recipients to enjoy a larger share of investments in the country should Pyongyang open up.",

It inspires her writing; life on the streets, gossip and flirtations, children at play all add to the tapestry of storytelling and the story of her own Xhosa people.\nIn 1976 when the country was aflame with protest, she witnessed a young girl shot down in Langa during the student riots; this became the basis of a play Glasshouses. Incidences like this drove her into exile, spending four years in New York. There she attended NYU studying scriptwriting. Her lecturer Ed Bullins gave a shrug and told her he had nothing to teach her, she was a writer. In New York she experienced life with no Apartheid. Going to restaurants and being spoken to courteously, respectfully. It gave her a sense of what life ought to be and could be.\nAfter school she worked in a bookshop, surrounded by the things she loved most. Her awareness of theatre however, came via poetry, introduced to her by a friend Sue Clarke. At the age of 24 she met Brain Astbury who had established the Space Theatre. She was given a backstage job where she met Rob Amato who encouraged her to write the play The Sacrifice of Kreli, later published and performed at the Market. She became the resident playwright at the Space and when the Space closed it was Fatima\u2019s play Glasshouses that was chosen for the last performance.\nFatima\u2019s story tells of life lived in Apartheid, the awareness, growth and path of a person determined to be in theatre. Today she runs the Siyanago Theatre Group which she co-founded with Roy Sargeant, assisting young writers skirt the problems she encountered on the path to realizing her dreams.\n\u201c\u2026We are seeing how things are going now\u2026 our voice needs to come back\u2026 we need to write what is happening in the country politically and socially\u2026\u201d",

It also commemorates the forty years of Jewish wandering in the desert. It is marked by several distinct traditions, one of which\u2014erecting a sukkah, a small, temporary booth or hut\u2014takes the commandment to dwell in booths literally. The holiday is one of celebration for the abundance of nature shared with family and guests (uspizim).\nInspired by this tradition, The CJM has built its own sukkah for gathering and community building by inviting six local artists to inhabit the sukkah as an open studio. The Sukkah Studio provides an inviting space for the artists to share their practice with visitors and even work with interested folks to make something together.\nEach artist will inhabit the Sukkah Studio for one day. Visiting the Sukkah Studio is free and it can be found in The Museum lobby common area. Stop by for one day\u2014or all\u2014and celebrate with us!\nMichelle Wilson & Anne Beck\nBritt-Marie Alm\nShared Tapestry\nMary Corey March\nAri Salomon\nJon Levy-Warren\nsukkah projects\nMichelle Wilson is a printmaker, papermaking, book, installation, and social practice artist. Her practice includes frequent collaborations with other artists, in particular her ongoing projects Book Bombs (with Mary Tasillo) and the Rhinoceros Project (with Anne Beck). Her practice explores interconnections between environmental issues, colonialism, natural history, migration, and the loss of diversity. She is a past recipient of grants from the Puffin Foundation, the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the Artist-Investigator Project of the Triangle Arts Lab, and the Small Plates Imprint program from the San Francisco Center for the Book. Her works of art are in various collections, including Yale University (New Haven, CT), the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington, DC), and the Mediatheque Andre Malraux (Strasbourg, France). Wilson currently teaches printmaking at San Jose State University and Stanford University.\nAnne Beck works collaboratively and independently in a variety of media from painting to print and bookmaking to public intervention. Broadly, she explores the roles of amateur naturalist and lay surveyor of the current landscape\u2014collecting specimens and recording data, cataloging that which seems useful, and investigating further that which seems impermeable. This is all in the context of envisioning a sustainable path forward for herself and the planet, which is often a playful exercise in the face of absurd and complex circumstance. Beck\u2019s works of art have been featured in In the Make, Studio Visits with West Coast Artists, Works & Days Quarterly, Hyperallergic, and Dublin\u2019s The Visual Artists News Sheet. She has received residency awards from the Virginia Center of Creative Arts, Can Serrat in El Bruc, Spain, Oberpf\u00e4lzer K\u00fcnstlerhaus in Schwandorf, Germany, and was Barstow Artist-in-Residence at Central Michigan University. She is a 2015 recipient of the Fath Scholarship for Artists and Artisans of the Book from the Rare Book School in Charlottesville, Virginia, and received a project grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. Beck lives and works in Northern California.\nBritt-Marie Alm is owner and Chief String Slinger of Love Fest Fibers, a San Francisco-based yarn and fiber goods company. She has spent much of the past two decades living and working on the Tibetan Plateau and founded Love Fest with the aim of creating opportunities that keep pastoral livelihoods relevant and viable. Today she designs yarn and home goods through carefully nurtured partnerships in Tibet, Nepal, and at home on the West Coast. She holds an MA in Environment and Development from King\u2019s College London, and a BA in Environmental Studies and Anthropology from Pitzer College.\nStreetcolor has yarnbombed all over the Bay Area, California and Paris, France with knitting, crocheting, and handmade felt. She has done numerous museum installations and was an artist-in-residence at the de Young Museum in 2014. Her work has been in Time, Oakland, and Diablo magazines, in Ukrainian and Chinese fashion magazines, and on NPR and Good Morning Sacramento. After the November election, she was inspired by the pink pussycat hats to create a more political and interactive art project, and began to work with galleries and community groups to make the Pom Poms and Politics Project. She writes at streetcolor.org.\nMary Corey March was born in Los Angeles to a cultural anthropologist and a sociologist in 1977. After living and traveling all over the world she made San Francisco her home 15 years ago. With undergraduate degrees in both History of Religions and Art, and MA degrees in both Education and Fine Art, she brings a varied perspective on human experience to her work. March\u2019s work has been shown in galleries, museums, colleges, and cultural spaces in many parts of the country (including Los Angeles, Brooklyn, and San Francisco), and also recently in Switzerland. She has also organized and participated in projects with other artists internationally and created participatory works of art which people from anywhere in the world can contribute to.\nHer participatory installations have been described as using attractive colors and textures as a \u201clure\u201d which draws participants in. Once participants have decided to interact, they may find themselves able to dive deeper into more intense subject matter than they were expecting. March\u2019s participatory works of art invite rather than dictate, creating frameworks for participants to explore ideas and emotions. The works of art create spaces and situations which enable people to share something of themselves and their own experience and perspective in ways which enable them to think more deeply about the experience and contextualize it with the experience of others.\nMarch works in many mediums, from textural, handmade, craft-based materials to high tech collaborations. She often works in fiber and fiber techniques because of their metaphorical richness and because those techniques span the earliest human crafts to the basis of modern computing. She uses a very wide range of mediums because the experience and the expression of the concept and feel of a piece is the primary focus, and each idea will call for different materials and processes to express it.\nConceptually her work explores liminal spaces\u2014edges, intersections, and connections between people, concepts, and systems\u2014how we define ourselves and each other; where those definitions break down; how we explain our experiences; and what mediates, expresses, and influences them. She creates situations where these ideas can be explored and examined, inviting the revelations and transformations often encountered in liminal space.\nHer installations create sculptural objects and spaces that serve as physical and metaphorical frameworks for the interactive portion of the work, which often involves text or symbols. Her text is chosen with the extreme care of poetry (and research questions) in the certain knowledge that how one asks a question or makes a statement can be as important as the content itself. Her installations invite certain kinds of physical interaction, with every aspect carefully thought out in impact\u2014from the texture of materials to their weight in the hand\u2014in the understanding that how people interact and feel physically impacts our thoughts and how we interact emotionally and mentally.\nAri Salomon was born in Israel, raised in San Diego, and is now based in San Francisco. He received a BA from University of California, Santa Cruz in 1993 in Art History, with a focus on contemporary art theory and studio photography. He has exhibited across the US as well as internationally in Tokyo, Paris, and Lodz, Poland. His work is rooted in reinterpreting the tradition of street photography. He takes the performative process of discovering candid people and places and gives it a twist. He is also interested in how photography can reveal the nature and limitations of human perception.\nJon Levy-Warren grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan surrounded by people. He has spent his life allowing himself to be transported into other people\u2019s little worlds. He studied visual and cultural anthropology as an undergraduate at Princeton University and has been making figurative paintings ever since. Levy-Warren lived in Brooklyn, New York, and Stockholm, Sweden before moving to San Francisco in 2012. He continues to be inspired primarily by people and their environs.

        "raw_content": "Sabbath: The 2017 Dorothy Saxe Invitational Exhibition\nFifty-seven artists interpret the day of rest\nRemember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work \u2026\n(San Francisco, CA, October 3, 2017) In its latest iteration of the Dorothy Saxe Invitational exhibition, Sabbath, The Contemporary Jewish Museum (The CJM) asks fifty-seven artists, both local and national, to interpret the day of rest, and the thought-provoking results are on view in a new exhibition this fall.\nThe diverse group of participating artists examine the depth of the fourth commandment, its influences, and its universality. A day set aside for rest and worship is a pillar of many religions and a staple of the modern workweek. The Seventh Day holds particular importance within Judaism, and Shabbat is considered one of its first and most sacred traditions. In order to explore the many layers of meaning of the Jewish Sabbath, the artists were each given excerpts from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel\u2019s 1951 masterpiece, The Sabbath. Heschel argued that Judaism is a religion of time, finding meaning not in space and the material things that fill it, but in time and the eternity that imbues it, and Heschel considered the Sabbath a \u201cpalace of time.\u201d\nContinuing the Invitational\u2019s commitment to the art of craft, each work will be three-dimensional in a wide range of materials such as ceramic, wood, and glass. All works of art in the exhibition will be for sale with proceeds benefiting the artists and The CJM.\nStarted in 1984 and now in its eleventh iteration, The Dorothy Saxe Invitational is an important component of The Museum\u2019s long-standing tradition of inviting artists from a variety of backgrounds to explore a Jewish ceremonial object, holiday, or concept within the context of their own medium and artistic philosophy. Previous Invitationals have featured artist interpretations of seder plates, the holiday TuB\u2019Shevat (New Year for trees), spice boxes, tzedakah boxes (alms containers), kiddush cups (goblets used to sanctify wine), and menorahs (ceremonial candelabras).\n\u201cThis year\u2019s Invitational is only the second time we have commissioned works inspired by a Jewish idea, as opposed to a ritual object,\u201d says Lori Starr, Executive Director, The CJM. \u201cThis gives the artists so many opportunities for interpretation, and the results are really surprising and wonderful. We are so grateful to Dorothy and her late husband George Saxe, who endowed this program in her name. We are also grateful to all the artists who are participating, and hope each work finds a home where it can be enjoyed by an individual, a family, or a community.\u201d\nThe artists\u2019 contributions are wide-ranging. Invitational veteran and sculptor Terry Berlier has created a carved and stained wooden effigy of a challah, the traditional Sabbath bread, while Stephen Hendee\u2019s much more abstract work is a sculptural object meant to suggest a shell cast off and reacquired in a process of renewal. Kurt Weiser, well-known for his sumptuous and provocative teapots and jars, contributes Solitude, a teapot covered in Eden-like images.\nTorreya Cummings\u2019 sculpture is an object composed of worn-out work gloves that have been \u201cretired\u201d by many of her friends. Nicole Phungrasamee Fein\u2019s Sabbath Basket, made of white paper, is completely woven closed, rendering it unusable in reference to Sabbath restrictions on labor.\nGeri Montano has carved two doll figures from a candle, drawing on her Native American heritage and using a ritual object of the Jewish Sabbath. The dolls are joined end-to-end together in a reclining pose, referencing the expression of burning a candle at both ends, encouraging viewers to let go of fast-paced tendencies.\nJosh Pieper\u2019s Video Cactus, refers in part to the idea that on the Sabbath, the television is supposed to be off. On a deeper level, Pieper suggests that a natural object like a cactus can be a portal to meditation on one\u2019s relation to the world, which is the goal of the Sabbath. As Pieper offers, it can be \u201ca small, contemplative, and perhaps even a poetic moment of joy.\u201d\nLucy Puls\u2019 cast leaded glass sculpture Untitled (toggle switch with faceplate) considers the idea of switching or toggling between states of being. Puls writes, \u201cA day of rest provides, at least briefly, time to remember what it means to be truly, fully human.\u201d\nJoshua Peder Stulen collaborated with Trish Hilburn to create For the 49ers Faithful, a crocheted kippah (skullcap) that comments on the similarities between the unwavering faith and commitment of sports fans and the ideologies found in religion.\nWanxin Zhang\u2019s Food Box, an intricately decorated take out container, is inspired by the ancient Chinese saying that \u201cfood is the first necessity of the people.\u201d Zhang considers how shared meals, as seen in the Sabbath tradition and in various cultures around the world, are the centerpiece of bringing people together and also references the popularity of Chinese cuisine among Jewish Americans, especially on days when they are not permitted to cook for themselves.\nOther participating artists include:\nErik Geschke\nElisabeth Higgins O' Connor\nCybele Lyle\nZachary Royer Scholz\nThe CJM will be publishing a catalog, available in The Museum\u2019s Store, with full color plates of each work of art in the exhibition and related essays.\nThree participating artists will receive The Dorothy Saxe Award for Creativity in Contemporary Arts. These cash awards, which will be announced at the Opening Celebration on November 11, will be determined by a jury of distinguished curators. Additionally, one Invitational artist will receive a People\u2019s Choice Award at the conclusion of the exhibition, allowing Museum visitors to participate actively in honoring an artist.\nSabbath is curated by Chief Curator Renny Pritikin and former curatorial staff members Pierre-Fran\u00e7ois Galpin, Anastasia James, and Sophie Schwabacher, and organized by Curatorial Assistant Natasha Matteson with the assistance of interns Fernanda Partida Ochoa and Emily Lawhead.\nThe Shabbat Design Challenge\nIn conjunction with this year\u2019s Invitational, The CJM will be holding a Bay Area student Shabbat Design Challenge. Students from any formal or informal Jewish education setting are invited to create art objects to represent imaginative ways of exploring the Sabbath. Students are encouraged to look beyond traditional Judaica and investigate ideas of time and space as separate from their everyday, fast-paced lives.\nTeachers can submit photographs of students\u2019 work by December 17, 2017 to be included in a digital display at The CJM\u2019s Family ArtBash Sunday celebration on January 28, 2018. Eighteen finalists will be selected to be displayed at venues around the Bay Area and at The CJM during the final weeks of the Invitational.\nGuidelines and entry forms will be available at thecjm.me/shabbatchallenge.\nMajor support for The Contemporary Jewish Museum\u2019s exhibitions and Jewish Peoplehood Programs comes from the Koret Foundation. The Museum also thanks the Jim Joseph Foundation for its major support of innovative strategies for educating and engaging audiences in Jewish learning. Additional major support is provided by two Anonymous donors; Alyse and Nathan Mason Brill; Carbon Five; Gaia Fund; the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation; Grants for the Arts; Walter and Elise Haas Fund; the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties; Suzanne and Elliott Felson; Wendy Kesser; Maribelle and Stephen Leavitt; Nellie and Max Levchin; Millennium Partners, the Bernard Osher Jewish Philanthropies Foundation of the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund; The Lisa and John Pritzker Family Fund; Dorothy R. Saxe; Seiger Family Foundation; Taube Philanthropies for Jewish Life and Culture; and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.\nThe Museum is open daily (except Wednesday) 11am\u20135pm and Thursday, 11am\u20138pm. Museum admission is $14 for adults, $12 for students and senior citizens with a valid ID, and $5 on Thursdays after 5pm. Youth 18 and under always get in free. For general information on The Contemporary Jewish Museum, the public may visit The Museum\u2019s website at thecjm.org or call 415.655.7800.

The people and events depicted, including those based on real people and events, are all entirely fictional.)\nThe short story above is a rather self-indulgent attempt to recreate some of those aspects of the science fiction and fantasy genres I have always found goofiest and most grating, and therefor most resonant and most appealing to me personally. Along with this earlier one and another yet to be written, it is meant to help set the stage for something even more ridiculous (I have also tried to explore my tendency toward this kind of subject matter here). Kim Stanley Robinson has written a galvanizing piece that looks at the role science fiction can play in a political and literal climate such as ours. It\u2019s only in the last two years that I\u2019ve really come to appreciate and enjoy Star Trek, and I think it\u2019s by way of something very much like the double action Robinson describes (this is a good example). I\u2019ve also mentioned in this space just how much my fairly recent discovery of the work of Ursula K. Le Guin has meant. However, it\u2019s still the cosmic, grandly inconsistent, and all at once slap-dash and overwrought vision of Jack Kirby that I find myself longing for and returning to most often these days.\nCoherence will be ending next year. I\u2019m happy with the final stretch, and you can get caught up here.\nNext issue: January\nNovember 13, 2018 in Fiction.

        "raw_content": "Review of The New Voices of Fantasy Edited by Peter S. Beagle and Jacob Weisman\nThe New Voices of Fantasy edited by Peter S. Beagle and Jacob Weisman. \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\nThe New Voices of Fantasy is a collection of recent (2010 or later) fantasy short stories by emerging authors, as selected by Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn. I picked the collection up because I already recognized some of the names on the front and adored their work. Turns out some of my favorite short stories were already included!\nFor instance, \u201cHungry Daughters of Starving Mothers\u201d by Alyssa Wong. I loved this short story when I read it last year. It\u2019s dark, haunting, and utterly unforgettable. \u201cA Kiss with Teeth\u201d by Max Gladstone was one of the first stories I read when I started exploring short SFF fiction online. It\u2019s a story about marriage and fatherhood, but centered around a vampire. In \u201cJackalope Wives\u201d by Ursula Vernon, the memorable Grandma Harken is left to deal with the results of her grandson\u2019s folly. These three stories were already among my favorite short fiction of recent years, and I was glad to see them included.\nI was also familiar with some of the other authors, but their stories were new to me. \u201cThe Practical Witch\u2019s Guide to Acquiring Real Estate\u201d by A.C. Wise is an utterly delightful piece about the relationship between a witch and their house. The story starts with a discussion of how the word \u201cacquiring\u201d can be problematic when it comes to real estate (as it implies that the house isn\u2019t choosing the witch!) and gets even better from there. \u201cSelkie Stories Are for Losers\u201d by Sofia Samatar is a slice of life narrative about a girl who\u2019s mother is a selkie and her developing friendship with a girl with a suicidal mother. It\u2019s a lovely story, and I immediately went to include it in a recommendation list of queer paranormal short stories. In \u201cTornado\u2019s Siren\u201d by Brooke Bolander, a tornado falls in love with a woman and she has to decide if normal is what she really wants. It\u2019s a unique concept, and Bolander pulls it off admirably well, creating a charming short story. JY Yang presents a tale of a woman who dreams of tigers with \u201cTiger Baby.\u201d Whenever she closes her eyes at night, she\u2019s running on four paws, a sleek orange and black shadow. But while she may believe herself to be a tiger, there\u2019s another truth to what she is. JY Yang is a truly talented author, and I look forward to reading more stories by them. Amal El-Mohtar was another author who\u2019s inclusion in this collection I was excited about. However, \u201cWing\u201d didn\u2019t prove to be a very memorable story. It\u2019s a beautifully written story about book lovers, but I didn\u2019t find it to have the staying power of some of the other stories.\nI\u2019d read at least one other short story by E. Lily Yu, but after reading \u201cThe Cartographer Wasps and Anarchist Bees,\u201d I know I need to read more by her. It was hands down one of the best stories in the collection. It\u2019s just got so many layers! In this story, a nest of wasps conquers a hive of bees, and the epic tale of these insects comes to involve colonialism and differences in political systems.\nThe rest of the authors were relatively new to me, although I may have read a few stories by some of them here and there. Some of the stories were intriguing and others weren\u2019t to my tastes. Mind you, I wouldn\u2019t say any are bad stories, and if I were rating each story individually, I don\u2019t think any would get less than three stars. \u201cThe Tallest Doll in New York City\u201d by Maria Dahvana Headley is one of the stories that left me cold. In this tale, two skyscrapers go courting on Valentine\u2019s Day. In \u201cThe Haunting of Apollo A7LB,\u201d a haunted spacesuit returns to the woman it\u2019s owner loved\u2026 regardless of the fact that a living human is now wearing it. \u201cThe Pauper Prince and the Eucalyptus Jinn\u201d by Usman T. Malik is a lengthy story (novella length?) that took up about a fifth of the collection. In it, a middle aged academic uncovers his grandfather\u2019s past and the tale of a impoverished princess. In \u201cHere Be Dragons\u201d by Chris Tarry, two fathers who made a living pretending to be dragon hunters find themselves out of work and now stay at home dads. \u201cThe Philosophers\u201d by Adam Ehrlich Sachs is a collection of three flash fiction stories about the relationships between fathers and sons, often told in an offbeat way. For instance, a son who partitions the different aspects of his relationship with his deceased father by literally wearing different hats. \u201cThe Duck\u201d by Ben Loory is a short story about a duck who falls in love with a rock, told almost as if it was a fable.\nOther stories worked a bit better for me, although I still had mixed feelings about some of them. \u201cThe Husband Stitch\u201d by Carmen Maria Machado is a powerfully feminist story about a woman who gives everything of herself over to her husband \u2014 except for the ribbon she wears around her neck. Yet, he isn\u2019t content until he has all of her. This may have been my favorite story by a new to me author. One of the others I enjoyed was \u201cLeft the Century to Sit Unmoved\u201d by Sarah Pinsker, the tale of a small town with a pond where people who dive into it sometimes disappear. Despite the risks, residents still take the chance of diving in. In \u201cThe One They Took Before\u201d by Kelly Sandoval, a musician tries to figure out how to live after being returned from the world of the fae. \u201cMy Time Among the Bridge Blowers\u201d by Eugene Fischer is perhaps the story I\u2019m most conflicted by. A self styled anthropologist ventures to a remote village where the inhabitants can walk on air. I believe that the story\u2019s meant to be a criticism of the sort of cultural imperialism that can go along with this, but I don\u2019t know if it was entirely successful in that regard.\nOverall, The New Voices of Fantasy is a very strong collection and one that I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to recommend. It is perfect for anyone who looking to discover some of the newest talent in the genre, as well as for anyone who just loves a good story.\n4 starsARCfantasyshort stories\nPrevious Post Review of Bookburners: \u201cFaces of the Beast\u201d by Margaret Dunlap\nNext Post Caliban\u2019s War Read Along Part Four\nThis sounds so good!

        "raw_content": "My Story: My Shirt Was Completely Torn And I Had Scratch Marks All Over My Body\nAugust 22nd, 2016 / 10:44 AM\n\u201cI was born in Nagpur, so every summer I would go to my house there for a few months. The summer I turned 13 my uncle in Nagpur told me that he would teach me how to drive a scooty and as a teenager I was more than thrilled with his offer! When the time came to teach me, he took me a little away from our bungalow and sexually assaulted me. I didn\u2019t know how to react \u2014 I had never been touched that way before and had no idea what a bad touch felt like. He threatened me and told me not to tell anyone and as is I was terrified to tell my parents, or anyone because I felt like the blame would somehow come back on me. I decided to bury this memory and move on with my life, but that never happened.\nThat incident left a scar on me \u2014 I began to spend more and more time alone. As fate would have it, when I was in the 10th grade another incident occurred where a group of 10 drunk men attacked my friends and me, late at night near my house. My shirt was completely torn and I had scratch marks all over my body and that\u2019s when I felt like I had enough. I was emotionally drained as these two incidents kept haunting me every single day. I was terrified that people would find out and I wouldn\u2019t be able to show face.\nI told no one about it and the burden was too much to bare\u2014 I started getting suicidal. I thought these things that had happened were shameful and I had caused my family shame. I went through a very dark time and It took a lot of months of acceptance and sharing with people I love that I realised that it wasn\u2019t my fault. We\u2019re so often shielded from what a \u2018bad touch\u2019 is or aren\u2019t told about sex or rape until we have to find out the hard way. I wish I could go back in time and voice myself, get some justice\u2026but at least I\u2019m free of blaming myself. I know today that my dignity doesn\u2019t get compromised because others chose to violate it. Today, I\u2019m finally at a better place, at a job I love, writing to express myself and emote. I\u2019m finally free of the burden that I\u2019d been carrying around since 13\u2026I\u2019ve finally found me.\u201d\nJaipur: Gandhi Nagar Railway Station Becomes The 1st Non-Suburban Station To Be Completely Operated By Women\nIn Flood-Torn Houston, Residents Form Human Chain To Save An Elderly Man From Drowning\nUP\u2019s Infant Mortality Rate Worse Than African Strife-Torn Countries And Slightly Better Than Afghanistan",

        "raw_content": "Settle in, folks, because this is one the longest first-half previews we\u2019ve run in a long while. Putting this together is a labor of love, and while a huge crop of great spring books increases the labor, it also means there is more here for readers to love. We\u2019d never claim to be comprehensive\u2014we know there are far more excellent books on the horizon than one list can hold, which is why we\u2019ve started doing monthly previews in addition to the semi-annual lists (and look out for the January Poetry Preview, which drops tomorrow). But we feel confident we\u2019ve put together a fantastic selection of (almost 100!) works of fiction, memoir, and essay to enliven your January through June 2018. What\u2019s in here? New fiction by giants like Michael Ondaatje, Helen DeWitt, Lynne Tillman, and John Edgar Wideman. Essays from Zadie Smith, Marilynne Robinson, and Leslie Jamison. Exciting debuts from Nafkote Tamirat, Tommy Orange, and Lillian Li. Thrilling translated work from Le\u00efla Slimani and Clarice Lispector. A new Rachel Kushner. A new Rachel Cusk. The last Denis Johnson. The last William Trevor. The long-awaited Vikram Seth.\nAs Millions founder and publisher C. Max Magee wrote recently, you can help ensure that these previews, and all our great books coverage, continue for years to come by lending your support to the site as a member. The Millions has been running for nearly 15 years on a wing and a prayer, and we\u2019re incredibly grateful for the love of our recurring readers and current members who help us sustain the work that we do.\nSo don your specs, clear off your TBR surfaces, and prepare for a year that, if nothing else, will be full of good books.\nThe Perfect Nanny by Le\u00efla Slimani (translated by Sam Taylor): In her Goncourt Prize-winning novel, Slimani gets the bad news out of the way early\u2014on the first page to be exact: \u201cThe baby is dead. It only took a few seconds. The doctor said he didn\u2019t suffer. The broken body, surrounded by toys, was put inside a gray bag, which they zipped up.\u201d Translated from the French by Sam Taylor as The Perfect Nanny\u2014the original title was Chanson Douce, or Lullaby\u2014this taut story about an upper-class couple and the woman they hire to watch their child tells of good help gone bad. (Matt)\nHalsey Street by Naima Coster: Coster\u2019s debut novel is set in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a rapidly gentrifying corner of Brooklyn. When Penelope Grand leaves a failed art career in Pittsburgh and comes home to Brooklyn to look after her father, she finds her old neighborhood changed beyond recognition. The narrative shifts between Penelope and her mother, Mirella, who abandoned the family to move to the Dominican Republic and longs for reconciliation. A meditation on family, love, gentrification, and home. (Emily)\nFire Sermon by Jamie Quatro: Five years after her story collection, I Want to Show You More, drew raves from The New Yorker\u2019s James Wood and Dwight Garner at The New York Times, Quatro delivers her debut novel, which follows a married woman\u2019s struggle to reconcile a passionate affair with her fierce attachment to her husband and two children. \u201cIt\u2019s among the most beautiful books I\u2019ve ever read about longing\u2014for beauty, for sex, for God, for a coherent life,\u201d says Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You. (Michael)\nThe Largesse of the Sea Maiden by Denis Johnson: Johnson\u2019s writing has always had an antiphonal quality to it\u2014the call and response of a man and his conscience, perhaps. In these stories, a dependably motley crew of Johnson protagonists find themselves forced to take stock as mortality comes calling. The writing has a more plangent tone than Angels and Jesus\u2019 Son, yet is every bit as edgy. Never afraid to look into the abyss, and never cute about it, Johnson will be missed. Gratefully, sentences like the following, his sentences, will never go away: \u201cHow often will you witness a woman kissing an amputation?\u201d R.I.P. (Il\u2019ja)\nA Girl in Exile by Ismail Kadare (translated by John Hodgson): Kadare structures the novel like a psychological detective yarn, but one with some serious existential heft. The story is set physically in Communist Albania in the darkest hours of totalitarian rule, but the action takes place entirely in the head and life of a typically awful Kadare protagonist\u2014Rudian Stefa, a writer. When a young woman from a remote province ends up dead with a provocatively signed copy of Stefa\u2019s latest book in her possession, it\u2019s time for State Security to get involved. A strong study of the ease and banality of human duplicity. (Il\u2019ja)\nFrankenstein in Baghdad by Ahmed Saadawi (translated by Jonathan Wright): The long-awaited English translation of the winner of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2014 gives American readers the opportunity to read Saadawi\u2019s haunting, bleak, and darkly comic take on Iraqi life in 2008. Or, as Saadawi himself put it in interview for Arab Lit, he set out to write \u201cthe fictional representation of the process of everyone killing everyone.\u201d (Check out Saadawi\u2019s Year in Reading here.) (Nick M.)\nThis Will Be My Undoing by Morgan Jerkins: W\u00fcnderkind Jerkins has a background in 19th-century Russian lit and postwar Japanese lit, speaks six languages, works/has worked as editor and assistant literary agent; she writes across many genres\u2014reportage, personal essays, fiction, profiles, interviews, literary criticism, and sports and pop culture pieces; and now we\u2019ll be seeing her first book, an essay collection. From the publisher: \u201cThis is a book about black women, but it\u2019s necessary reading for all Americans.\u201d The collected essays will cover topics ranging from \u201cRachel Dolezal; the stigma of therapy; her complex relationship with her own physical body; the pain of dating when men say they don\u2019t \u2018see color\u2019; being a black visitor in Russia; the specter of \u2018the fast-tailed girl\u2019 and the paradox of black female sexuality; or disabled black women in the context of the \u2018Black Girl Magic\u2019 movement.\u201d (Sonya)\nMouths Don\u2019t Speak by Katia D. Ulysse: In Drifting, Ulysse\u2019s 2014 story collection, Haitian immigrants struggle through New York City after the 2010 earthquake that destroyed much of their county. In her debut novel, Ulysse revisits that disaster with a clearer and sharper focus. Jacqueline Florestant is mourning her parents, presumed dead after the earthquake, while her ex-Marine husband cares for their young daughter. But the expected losses aren\u2019t the most serious, and a trip to freshly-wounded Haiti exposes the way tragedy follows class lines as well as family ones. (Kaulie)\nThe Sky Is Yours by Chandler Klang Smith: Smith\u2019s The Sky Is Yours, is a blockbuster of major label debuts. The dystopic inventiveness of this genre hybrid sci-fi thriller/coming of age tale/adventure novel has garnered comparisons to Gary Shteyngart, David Mitchell and Ridley Scott\u2019s Blade Runner. And did I mention? It has dragons, too, circling the crumbling Empire Island, and with them a fire problem (of course), and features a reality TV star from a show called Late Capitalism\u2019s Royalty. Victor LaValle calls The Sky Is Yours \u201ca raucous, inventive gem of a debut.\u201d Don\u2019t just take our word for it, listen to an audio excerpt. (Anne)\nEverything Here Is Beautiful by Mira T. Lee: Spanning cultures and continents, Lee\u2019s assured debut novel tells the story of two sisters who are bound together and driven apart by the inescapable bonds of family. Miranda is the sensible one, thrust into the role of protector of Lucia, seven years younger, head-strong, and headed for trouble. Their mother emigrated from China to the U.S. after the death of their father, and as the novel unfurls in clear, accessible prose, we follow the sisters on journeys that cover thousands of miles and take us into the deepest recesses of the human heart. Despite its sunny title, this novel never flinches from big and dark issues, including interracial love, mental illness and its treatment, and the dislocations of immigrant life. (Bill)\nThe Infinite Future by Tim Wirkus: I read this brilliant puzzle-of-a-book last March and I still think about it regularly! The Infinite Future follows a struggling writer, a librarian, and a Mormon historian excommunicated from the church on their search for a reclusive Brazilian science fiction writer. In a starred review, Book Page compares Wirkus to Jonathan Lethem and Ron Currie Jr., and says the book \u201cannounces Wirkus as one of the most exciting novelists of his generation.\u201d I agree. (Edan)\nThe Job of the Wasp by Colin Winnette: With Winnette\u2019s fourth novel he proves he\u2019s adept at re-appropriating genre conventions in intriguing ways. His previous book, Haint\u2019s Stay, is a Western tale jimmyrigged for its own purposes and is at turns both surreal and humorous. Winnette\u2019s latest, The Job of the Wasp, takes on the Gothic ghost novel and is set in the potentially creepiest of places\u2014an isolated boarding school for orphaned boys, in the vein of Robert Walser\u2019s Jakob von Gunten, Jenny Erpenbeck\u2019s The Old Child, or even Charles Dickens\u2019s Oliver Twist. \u201cWitty and grisly\u201d according to Kelly Link, strange and creepy, Job of the Wasp reveals Winnette\u2019s \u201cnatural talent\u201d says Patrick deWitt. (Anne)\nBrass by Xhenet Aliu: In what Publishers Weekly calls a \u201cstriking first novel,\u201d a daughter searches for answers about the relationship between her parents, a diner waitress from Waterbury, Conn. and a line cook who emigrated from Albania. Aliu writes a story of love, family, and the search for an origin story, set against the decaying backdrop of a post-industrial town. In a starred review, Kirkus writes \u201cAliu\u2019s riveting, sensitive work shines with warmth, clarity, and a generosity of spirit.\u201d (Lydia)\nThe Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin: Four adolescent sibling in 1960s New York City sneak out to see a psychic, who tells each of them the exact date they will die. They take this information with a grain of salt, and keep it from each other, but Benjamin\u2019s novel follows them through the succeeding decades, as their lives alternately intertwine and drift apart, examining how the possible knowledge of their impending death affects how they live. I\u2019m going to break my no-novels-about-New-Yorkers rule for this one. (Janet)\nKing Zeno by Nathaniel Rich: This historical thriller features an ax-wielding psychopath wreaking havoc in the city of Sazeracs. It\u2019s been eight years since Rich moved to New Orleans, and in that time, he\u2019s been a keen observer, filing pieces on the city\u2019s storied history and changing identity for various publications, not least of all The New York Review of Books. He\u2019s certainly paid his dues, which is vitally important since the Big Easy is an historically difficult city for outsiders to nail without resorting to distracting tokenism (a pelican ate my beignet in the Ninth Ward). Fortunately, Rich is better than that. (Nick M.)\nThe Monk of Mokha by Dave Eggers: Eggers returns to his person-centered reportage with an account of a Yemeni-American man named Mokhtar Alkhanshali\u2019s efforts to revive the Yemeni tradition of coffee production just when war is brewing. A starred Kirkus review calls Eggers\u2019s latest \u201ca most improbable and uplifting success story.\u201d (Lydia)\nIn Every Moment We Are Still Alive by Tom Malmquist (translated by Henning Koch): A hit novel by a Swedish poet brought to English-reading audiences by Melville House. This autobiographical novel tells the story of a poet whose girlfriend leaves the world just as their daughter is coming into it\u2013succumbing suddenly to undiagnosed leukemia at 33 weeks. A work of autofiction about grief and survival that Publisher\u2019s Weekly calls a \u201cbeautiful, raw meditation on earth-shattering personal loss.\u201d (Lydia)\nPeculiar Ground by Lucy Hughes-Hallett: The award-winning British historian (The Pike: Gabriele D\u2019Annunzio, Poet, Seducer and Preacher of War) makes her fiction debut. Narrated by multiple characters, the historical novel spans three centuries and explores the very timely theme of immigration. Walls are erected and cause unforeseen consequences for both the present and futurey. In its starred review, Kirkus said the novel was \u201cstunning for both its historical sweep and its elegant prose.\u201d (Carolyn)\nNeon in Daylight by Hermione Hoby: A novel about art, loneliness, sex, and restless city life set against the backdrop of Hurricane Sandy-era New York, Neon in Daylight follows a young, adrift English catsitter as she explores the galleries of New York and develops an infatuation with a successful writer and his daughter, a barista and sex-worker. The great Ann Patchett called Hoby \u201ca writer of extreme intelligence, insight, style and beauty.\u201d (Lydia)\nThis Could Hurt by Jillian Medoff: Medoff works a double shift: when she isn\u2019t writing novels, she\u2019s working as a management consultant, which means, as her official bio explains, \u201cthat she uses phrases like \u2018driving behavior\u2019 and \u2018increasing ROI\u2019 without irony.\u201d In her fourth novel, she turns her attention to a milieu she knows very well, the strange and singular world of corporate America: five colleagues in a corporate HR department struggle to find their footing amidst the upheaval and uncertainty of the 2008-2009 economic collapse. (Emily)\nThe Afterlives by Thomas Pierce: Pierce\u2019s first novel is a fascinating and beautifully rendered meditation on ghosts, technology, marriage, and the afterlife. In a near-future world where holograms are beginning to proliferate in every aspect of daily life, a man dies\u2014for a few minutes, from a heart attack, before he\u2019s revived\u2014returns with no memory of his time away, and becomes obsessed with mortality and the afterlife. In a world increasingly populated by holograms, what does it mean to \u201csee a ghost?\u201d What if there\u2019s no afterlife? On the other hand, what if there is an afterlife, and what if the afterlife has an afterlife? (Emily)\nGrist Mill Road by Christopher J. Yates: The follow-up novel by the author of Black Chalk, an NPR Best of the Year selection. Yates\u2019s latest \u201cRashomon-style\u201d literary thriller follows a group of friends up the Hudson, where they are involved in a terrible crime. \u201cI Know What You Did Last Summer\u201d-style, they reconvene years later, with dire consequences. The novel receives the coveted Tana French endorsement: she calls it \u201cdarkly, intricately layered, full of pitfalls and switchbacks, smart and funny and moving and merciless.\u201d (Lydia)\nThe Friend by Sigrid Nunez: In her latest novel, Nunez (a Year in Reading alum) ruminates on loss, art, and the unlikely\u2014but necessary\u2014bonds between man and dog. After the suicide of her best friend and mentor, an unnamed, middle-aged writing professor is left Apollo, his beloved, aging Great Dane. Publishers Weekly says the \u201celegant novel\u201d reflects \u201cthe way that, especially in grief, the past is often more vibrant than the present.\u201d (Carolyn)\nFeel Free by Zadie Smith: In her forthcoming essay collection, Smith provides a critical look at contemporary topics, including art, film, politics, and pop-culture. Feel Free includes many essays previously published in The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books and it is divided into five sections: In the World, In the Audience, In the Gallery, On the Bookshelf, and Feel Free. Andrew Solomon described the collection as \u201ca tonic that will help the reader reengage with life.\u201d (Zo\u00eb)\nWhat Are We Doing Here? by Marilynne Robinson: One of my favorite literary discoveries of 2017 was that there are two camps of Robinson fans. Are you more Housekeeping or Gilead? To be clear, all of us Housekeeping people claim to have loved \u200bher \u200bwork before the Pulitzer committee agreed. But this new book is a collection of essays\u200b where Robinson explores the modern political climate and the mysteries of faith, including\u200b,\u200b \u201ctheological, political, and contemporary themes\u200b.\u201d\u200b \u200bGiven that \u200bthe essays come\u200b\u200b from Robinson\u2019s incisive mind\u200b, I think there will be more than enough to keep both camps happy.\u200b (Claire)\u200b\nAn American Marriage by Tayari Jones: In our greatest tragedies, there is the feeling of no escape\u2014and when the storytelling is just right, we feel consumed by the heartbreak. In Jones\u2019s powerful new novel, Celestial and Roy are a married couple with optimism for their future. Early in the book, Jones offers a revelation about Roy\u2019s family, but that secret is nothing compared to what happens next: Roy is arrested for a crime he didn\u2019t commit, and sentenced to over a decade in prison. An American Marriage arrives in the pained, authentic voices of Celestial, Roy, and Andre\u2014Celestial\u2019s longtime friend who moves into the space left by Roy\u2019s absence. Life, and love, must go on. When the couple writes \u201cI am innocent\u201d to each other in consecutive letters, we weep for their world\u2014but Jones makes sure that we can\u2019t look away. (Nick R.)\nThe Strange Bird by Jeff VanderMeer: Nothing is what it seems in VanderMeer\u2019s fiction: bears fly, lab-generated protoplasm shapeshifts, and magic undoes science. In this expansion of his acclaimed novel Borne, which largely focused on terrestrial creatures scavenging a post-collapse wasteland, VanderMeer turns his attention upward. Up in the sky, things look a bit different. (Check out his prodigious Year in Reading here.) (Nick M.)\nHouse of Impossible Beauties by Joseph Cassara: First made famous in the documentary Paris Is Burning, New York City\u2019s House of Xtravaganza is now getting a literary treatment in Cassara\u2019s debut novel\u2014one that\u2019s already drawing comparisons to Hanya Yanagihara\u2019s A Little Life. The story follows teenage Angel, a young drag queen just coming into her own, as she falls in love, founds her own house and becomes the center of a vibrant\u2014and troubled\u2014community. Critics call it \u201cfierce, tender, and heartbreaking.\u201d (Kaulie)\nFreshwater by Akwaeke Emezi: A surreal, metaphysical debut novel dealing with myth, mental health, and fractured selves centering around Ada, a woman from southern Nigeria \u201cborn with one foot on the other side.\u201d She attends college in the U.S., where several internal voices emerge to pull her this way and that. Library Journal calls this \u201ca gorgeous, unsettling look into the human psyche.\u201d (Lydia)\nRed Clocks by Leni Zumas: The latest novel from the author of The Listeners follows five women of different station in a small town in Oregon in a U.S. where abortion and IVF have been banned and embryos have been endowed with all the rights of people. A glimpse at the world some of our current lawmakers would like to usher in, one that Maggie Nelson calls \u201cmordant, political, poetic, alarming, and inspiring\u2013not to mention a way forward for fiction now.\u201d (Lydia)\nHeart Berries by Terese Mailhot: In her debut memoir, Mailhot\u2014raised on the Seabird Island Indian Reservation in southwestern Canada, presently a postdoctoral fellow at Purdue\u2014grapples with a dual diagnosis of PTSD and Bipolar II disorder, and with the complicated legacy of a dysfunctional family. Sherman Alexie has hailed this book as \u201can epic take\u2014an Iliad for the indigenous.\u201d (Emily)\nAsymmetry by Lisa Halliday: 2017 Whiting Award winner Halliday has written a novel interweaving the lives of a young American editor and a Kurdistan-bound Iraqi-American man stuck in an immigration holding room in Heathrow airport. Louise Erdrich calls this \u201ca novel of deceptive lightness and a sort of melancholy joy.\u201d (Lydia)\nBack Talk by Danielle Lazarin: long live the short story, as long as writers like Lazarin are here to keep the form fresh. The collection begins with \u201cAppetite,\u201d narrated by nearly 16-year-old Claudia, whose mother died of lung cancer. She might seem all grown up, but \u201cI am still afraid of pain\u2014for myself, for all of us.\u201d Lazarin brings us back to a time when story collections were adventures in radical empathy: discrete panels of pained lives, of which we are offered chiseled glimpses. Even in swift tales like \u201cWindow Guards,\u201d Lazarin has a finely-tuned sense of pacing and presence: \u201cThe first time Owen shows me the photograph of the ghost dog, I don\u2019t believe it.\u201d Short stories are like sideways glances or overheard whispers that become more, and Lazarin makes us believe there\u2019s worth in stories that we can steal moments to experience. (Nick R.)\nThe Ch\u00e2teau by Paul Goldberg: In Goldberg\u2019s debut novel, The Yid, the irrepressible members of a Yiddish acting troupe stage manages a plot to assassinate Joseph Stalin in hopes of averting a deadly Jewish pogrom. In his second novel, the stakes are somewhat lower: a heated election for control of a Florida condo board. Kirkus writes that Goldberg\u2019s latest \u201cconfirms his status as one of Jewish fiction\u2019s liveliest new voices, walking in the shoes of such deadpan provocateurs as Mordecai Richler and Stanley Elkin.\u201d (Matt)\nThe Line Becomes a River by Francisco Cant\u00fa: A memoir by a Whiting Award-winner who served as a U.S. border patrol agent. Descended from Mexican immigrants, Cant\u00fa spends four years in the border patrol before leaving for civilian life. His book documents his work at the border, and his subsequent quest to discover what happened to a vanished immigrant friend. (Lydia)\nCall Me Zebra by Azareen Van der Vliet Oloomi: If the driving force of Van der Vliet Oloomi\u2019s first novel, Fra Keeler, was \u201cpushing narrative to its limits\u201d through unbuilding and decomposition, her second novel, Call Me Zebra, promises to do the same through a madcap and darkly humorous journey of retracing the past to build anew. Bibi Abbas Abbas Hossein is last in a line of autodidacts, anarchists, and atheists, whose family left Iran by way of Spain when she was a child. The book follows Bibi in present day as she returns to Barcelona from the U.S., renames herself Zebra and falls in love. Van der Vliet Oloomi pays homage to a quixotic mix of influences\u2014including Miguel de Cervantes, Jorge Luis Borges, and Kathy Acker\u2014in Call Me Zebra, which Kirkus calls \u201ca brilliant, demented, and bizarro book that demands and rewards all the attention a reader might dare to give it.\u201d (Anne)\nSome Hell by Patrick Nathan: A man commits suicide, leaving his wife, daughter, and two sons reckoning with their loss. Focused on the twinned narratives of Colin, a middle schooler coming to terms with his sexuality, as well as Diane, his mother who\u2019s trying to mend her fractured family, Nathan\u2019s debut novel explores the various ways we cope with maturity, parenting, and heartbreak. (Read Nathan\u2019s Year in Reading here.) (Nick M.)\nThe Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory: If 2017 was any indication, events in 2018 will try the soul. Some readers like to find escape from uncertain times with dour dystopian prognostications or strained family stories (and there are plenty). But what about something fun? Something with sex (and maybe, eventually, love). Something Roxane Gay called a \u201ccharming, warm, sexy gem of a novel\u2026.One of the best books I\u2019ve read in a while.\u201d Something so fun and sexy it earned its author a two-book deal (look out for the next book, The Proposal, this fall). Wouldn\u2019t it feel good to feel good again? (Lydia)\nThe Census by Jesse Ball: Novelist Ball\u2019s nimble writing embodies the lightness and quickness that Calvino prized (quite literally, too: he pens his novels in a mad dash of days to weeks). And he is prolific, too. Since his previous novel, How to Start a Fire and Why, he has has written about the practice of lucid dreaming and his unique form of pedagogy, as well as a delightfully morbid compendium of Henry King\u2019s deaths, with Brian Evenson. Ball\u2019s seventh novel, The Census, tells the story of a dying doctor and his concern regarding who will care for his son with Down Syndrome, as they set off together on a cross-country journey. (Anne)\nMen and Apparitions by Lynne Tillman: News of a new Tillman novel is worthy of raising a glass. Men and Apparitions is the follow-up novel to Tillman\u2019s brilliant, ambitious American Genius: A Comedy. Men and Apparitions looks closely at our obsession with the image through the perspective of cultural anthropologist Ezekiel \u201cZeke\u201d Hooper Stark. Norman Rush says, \u201cthis book is compelling and bracing and you read many sentences twice to get all the juice there is in them.\u201d Sarah Manguso has said she is \u201cgrateful\u201d for Tillman\u2019s \u201cauthentically weird and often indescribable books.\u201d I second that. (Anne)\nWhiskey & Ribbons by Leesa Cross-Smith: Police officer Eamon Michael Royce is killed in the line of duty. His pregnant wife, Evi, narrates Eamon\u2019s passing with elegiac words: \u201cI think of him making the drive, the gentle peachy July morning light illuminating his last moments, his last heartbeat, his last breath.\u201d Months later and wracked with grief, Evi falls for her brother-in-law Dalton: \u201cBackyard-wandering, full-moon pregnant in my turquoise maternity dress and tobacco-colored cowboy boots. I\u2019d lose my way. Dalton would find me. He was always finding me.\u201d The sentences in Cross-Smith\u2019s moving debut are lifted by a sense of awe and mystery\u2014a style attuned to the graces of this world. Whiskey & Ribbons turns backward and forward in time: we hear Eamon\u2019s anxieties about fatherhood, and Dalton\u2019s continuous search for meaning in his life. \u201cI am always hot, like I\u2019m on fire,\u201d Evi dreams later in the novel, still reliving her husband\u2019s death, \u201cburning and gasping for air.\u201d In Cross-Smith\u2019s novel, the past is never forgotten. (Nick R.)\nThe Emissary by Yoko Tawada (translated by Margaret Mitsutani): In a New Yorker essay on Tawada, author of Memoirs of a Polar Bear, Riva Galchen wrote that \u201coften in [her] work, one has the feeling of having wandered into a mythology that is not one\u2019s own.\u201d Tawada\u2019s latest disorienting mythology is set in a Japan ravaged by a catastrophe. If children are the future, what does it presage that, post-disaster, they are emerging from the womb as frail, aged creatures blessed with an uncanny wisdom? (Read her Year in Reading here.) (Matt)\nThe Sparsholt Affair by Alan Hollinghurst: Hollinghurst\u2019s sixth novel has already received glowing reviews in the U.K. As the title suggests, the plot hinges on a love affair, and follows two generations of the Sparsholt family, opening in 1940 at Oxford, just before WWII. The Guardian called it \u201can unashamedly readable novel\u2026indeed it feels occasionally like Hollinghurst is trying to house all the successful elements of his previous books under the roof of one novel.\u201d To those of us who adore his books, this sounds heavenly. (Hannah)\nThe Chandelier by Clarice Lispector (translated by Magdalena Edwards and Benjamin Moser): Since Katrina Dodson published a translation of Lispector\u2019s complete stories in 2015, the Brazilian master\u2019s popularity has enjoyed a resurgence. Magdalena Edwards and Benjamin Moser\u2019s new translation of Lispector\u2019s second novel promises to extend interest in the deceased writer\u2019s work. It tells the story of Virginia, a sculptor who crafts intricate pieces in marked isolation. This translation marks the first time The Chandelier has ever appeared in English (Ismail).\nThe Parking Lot Attendant by Nafkote Tamirat: It\u2019s very easy to love this novel but difficult to describe it. A disarming narrator begins her account from a community with strange rules and obscure ideology located on an unnamed island. While she and her father uneasily bide their time in this not-quite-utopia, she reflects on her upbringing in Boston, and a friendship\u2013with the self-styled leader of the city\u2019s community of Ethiopian immigrants\u2013that begins to feel sinister. As the story unfolds, what initially looked like a growing-up story in a semi-comic key becomes a troubling allegory of self-determination and sacrifice. (Lydia)\nLet\u2019s No One Get Hurt by Jon Pineda: A fifteen-year-old girl named Pearl lives in squalor in a southern swamp with her father and two other men, scavenging for food and getting by any way they can. She meets a rich neighbor boy and starts a relationship, eventually learning that his family holds Pearl\u2019s fate in their hands. Publisher\u2019s Weekly called it \u201can evocative novel about the cruelty of children and the costs of poverty in the contemporary South.\u201d (Lydia)\nThe Merry Spinster by Mallory Ortberg: Fairy tales get a feminist spin in this short story collection inspired by Ortberg\u2019s most popular Toast column, \u201cChildren\u2019s Stories Made Horrific.\u201d This is not your childhood Cinderella, but one with psychological horror and Ortberg\u2019s signature snark. Carmen Maria Machado calls it a cross between, \u201cTerry Pratchett\u2019s satirical jocularity and Angela Carter\u2019s sinister, shrewd storytelling, and the result is gorgeous, unsettling, splenic, cruel, and wickedly smart.\u201d Can\u2019t wait to ruin our favorite fables! (Tess)\nThe House of Broken Angels by Luis Alberto Urrea: Urrea is one of the best public speakers I\u2019ve ever seen with my 35-year-old eyes, so it\u2019s incredible that it\u2019s not even the thing he\u2019s best at. He\u2019s the recipient of an American Book Award and a Pulitzer nominee for The Devil\u2019s Highway. His new novel is about the daily life of a multi-generational Mexican-American family in California. Or as he puts it, \u201can American family\u2014one that happens to speak Spanish and admire the Virgin of Guadalupe.\u201d (Janet)\nSpeak No Evil by Uzodinma Iweala: Nearly 15 years after his critically-acclaimed debut novel, Beasts of No Nation, was published, Iweala is back with a story as deeply troubling. Teenagers Niru and Meredith are best friends who come from very different backgrounds. When Niru\u2019s secret is accidentally revealed (he\u2019s queer), there is unimaginable and unspeakable consequences for both teens. Publishers Weekly\u2019s starred review says the \u201cstaggering sophomore novel\u201d is \u201cnotable both for the raw force of Iweala\u2019s prose and the moving, powerful story.\u201d (Carolyn)\nAmerican Histories: Stories by John Edgar Wideman: Wideman\u2019s new book is a nearly fantastical stretching and blurring of conventional literary forms\u2014including history, fiction, philosophy, biography, and deeply felt personal vignettes. We get reimagined conversations between the abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the doomed white crusader for racial equality John Brown. We get to crawl inside the mind of a man sitting on the Williamsburg Bridge, ready to jump. We get Wideman pondering deaths in his own family. We meet Jean Michel Basquiat and Nat Turner. What we get, in the end, is a book unlike any other, the work of an American master working at peak form late in a long and magnificent career. (Bill)\nHappiness by Aminatta Forna: A novel about what happens when an expert on the habits of foxes and an expert on the trauma of refugees meet in London, one that Paul Yoon raved about it in his Year in Reading: \u201cIt is a novel that carries a tremendous sense of the world, where I looked up upon finishing and sensed a shift in what I thought I knew, what I wanted to know. What a gift.\u201d In a starred review, Publisher\u2019s Weekly says \u201cForna\u2019s latest explores instinct, resilience, and the complexity of human coexistence, reaffirming her reputation for exceptional ability and perspective.\u201d (Lydia)\nThe Neighborhood by Mario Vargas Llosa (translated by Edith Grossman): The Nobel Prize winner\u2019s latest arrives in translation from the extraordinary Edith Grossman. The Neighborhood is symphonic, a \u201cthriller,\u201d if you can call it that, about a detective whose wife gets roped into a debilitating situation. It is set in Llosa\u2019s 1990s Peru, and you see this place with its paradox of grayness and color, juxtaposed with spots of blood. Two women married to very affluent men are having a lesbian affair, and one of their husbands, Enrique, is being blackmailed. When he fails to meet a photo magazine editor\u2019s demands, he is slandered with photos of an erotic encounter on the front pages of the magazine. These two threads will converge at a point of explosion as is wont with Llosa\u2019s novels. While this may not be his best work, it will keep readers reading all the way. (Chigozie)\nMy Dead Parents by Anya Yurchyshyn: Sometimes truth is more fascinating than fiction. Such is the case with Yurchyshyn\u2019s My Dead Parents, which started as an anonymous Tumblr blog where the author posted photos and slivers of her parents\u2019 correspondences in an attempt to piece together the mystery of their lives. Yurchyshyn\u2019s father was a banker who died in Ukraine in a car \u201caccident\u201d that was possibly a hit when she was 16, and years later, though not many, her mother succumbed to alcoholism. Her parents made an enviously handsome couple, but they lived out Leo Tolstoy\u2019s adage of each family being unhappy in its own way. Yurchyshyn\u2019s tale is one of curiosity and discovery; it\u2019s also an inquiry into grief and numbness. Her Buzzfeed essay, \u201cHow I Met My Dead Parents,\u201d provides an apt introduction. (Anne)\nThe Last Watchman of Old Cairo by Michael David Lukas: Year in Reading alum and author of The Oracle of Stamboul explores the history of Cairo\u2019s Ben Ezra Synagogue (site of the famous Cairo Geniza document trove discovered in the nineteenth century) through the story of its generations of Muslim watchmen as gleaned by their modern-day, Berkeley-dwelling scion. Rabih Alameddine calls it \u201ca beautiful, richly textured novel, ambitious and delicately crafted\u2026a joy.\u201d (Lydia)\nBury What We Cannot Take by Kirstin Chen: This is an atmospheric novel of betrayal and ardent allegiance to ideology and political choices. When young Ah Liam decides it\u2019s virtuous to report the resistance of his grandmother to Maoist rule to the authorities, he unravels his family with his own hands. His decision leads to the family having to flee the country and for them to have to make a decision: leave a fraction of the family behind or face greater harm. With its striking title about the sacrifice (the \u201cburying\u201d) of those who are left behind, the novel succeeds in drawing a very striking portrait of this turbulent period of Chinese history. (Chigozie)\nMemento Park by Mark Sarvas: Many of us who have been with The Millions for some years surely remember Sarvas\u2019s pioneer lit blog, The Elegant Variation\u2014and look forward to his second novel, Memento Park, 10 years after his critically acclaimed Harry, Revised. Memento Park is about art, history, Jewishness, fathers and sons: Joseph O\u2019Neill writes pithily, \u201cA thrilling, ceaselessly intelligent investigation into the crime known as history.\u201d So far, Kirkus praises Sarvas for \u201cskillful prose and well-drawn characters.\u201d (Sonya)\nWrestling with the Devil by Ng\u0169g\u0129 wa Thiong\u2019o: Famously, Kenyan author Ngugi wrote his Gikuyu novel Devil on the Cross while serving out a prison sentence. (And he did it on toilet paper, no less.) Now, the writer whom Chimamanda Adichie calls \u201cone of the greatest of our time\u201d is releasing a memoir of his prison stay, begun a half-hour before he was finally released. Taking the form of an extended flashback, the memoir begins at the moment of the author\u2019s arrest and ends, a year later, when he left prison with a novel draft. (Thom)\nStray City by Chelsey Johnson: Twenty-something artist Andrea ran away from the Midwest to Portland to escape the expectation to be a mother and create a life for herself as a queer artist. Then, confused and hurt by a break-up, she hooked up with a man\u2014and ended up having his child. Chelsey Johnson\u2019s debut novel, which comes after a successful run of short stories like the Ploughshares Solo \u201cEscape and Reverse,\u201d is a humorous and heartfelt exploration of sexual identity and unconventional families. (Ismail)\nThe Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer: Wolitzer is \u200bone of those rare\u200b\u200b novelist\u200bs\u200b who is able to capture the zeitgeist. Her follow up to The Interestings, The Female Persuasion centers around Greer Kadetsky, who is a freshman in college when she meets Faith Frank, an inspiring feminist icon who ignites Greer\u2019s passions. \u200bAfter graduation, Greer lands a job at Frank\u2019s foundation and things get real. Wolitzer is a master weaver of story lines and in this novel she brings four \u200btogether as the characters search for purpose in life and love. As the starred review in Publisher\u2019s Weekly says, this novel explores, \u201cwhat it is to both embrace womanhood and suffer because of it.\u201d Amen sister. (Claire)\nThe Recovering by Leslie Jamison: The bestselling author of The Empathy Exams brings us The Recovering, which explores addiction and recovery in America, in particular the stories we tell ourselves about addiction. Jamison also examines the relationship many well-known writers and artists had with addiction, including Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday, Raymond Carver, David Foster Wallace, and more. The Recovering has received advance praise from Stephen King, Vivian Gornick, and Anne Fadiman. Chris Kraus described the The Recovering as \u201ca courageous and brilliant example of what nonfiction writing can do.\u201d (Zo\u00eb)\nCirce by Madeline Miller: It took Miller 10 years to write her Orange Prize-winning debut novel, The Song of Achilles. Happily, we only had to wait another five for Circe, even more impressive when one considers that the novel\u2019s story covers millennia. Here Miller again invokes the classical world and a massive cast of gods, nymphs, and mortals, but it\u2019s all seen through the knowing eyes of Circe, the sea-witch who captures Odysseus and turns men into monsters. (Kaulie)\nAmerica Is Not the Heart by Elaine Castillo: As we enter year two of the Donald Trump presidency, Castillo\u2019s first novel challenges readers to look beyond the headlines to grasp the human dimension of America\u2019s lure to immigrants in this big-hearted family saga about three generations of Filipina women who struggle to reconcile the lives they left behind in the Philippines with the ones they are making for themselves in the American suburbs. (Michael)\nYou Think It, I\u2019ll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld: Is Sittenfeld a serious literary novelist who dabbles in chick lit? Is she a writer of frothy beach reads who happens to have an MFA from Iowa? Do such distinctions still have any meaning in today\u2019s fiction market? Readers can decide for themselves when Sittenfeld publishes her first story collection, after five novels that have ranged from her smash debut Prep to American Wife, her critically acclaimed \u201cfictional biography\u201d of former First Lady Laura Bush. (Michael)\nVarina by Charles Frazier: Returning to the setting of his NBA winning Cold Mountain, Frazier taps into the American Civil War, specifically the life of Varina Howell Davis, the teenage bride of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. In this personal tragedy set in an epic period of American history, Frazier examines how \u201cbeing on the wrong side of history carries consequences\u201d regardless of one\u2019s personal degree of involvement in the offense. Something to think about. (Il\u2019ja)\nSharp: The Women Who Made an Art of Having an Opinion by Michelle Dean: You\u2019ve been reading Dean\u2019s reviews and journalism for some time at The Nation, The Guardian, Buzzfeed, The New Yorker, Slate, Salon The New Republic, et alia. Winner of the 2016 NBCC\u2019s Nona Balakian Citation for Excellence in Reviewing, Dean is debuting her first book with apt timing: Sharp features intertwining depictions of our most important 20th-century female essayists and cultural critics\u2014Susan Sontag, Dorothy Parker, Hannah Arendt, Pauline Kael, Rebecca West, Janet Malcolm, Joan Didion, and others. A hybrid of biography, literary criticism, and cultural history, Sharp has been praised and starred by PW as \u201cstunning and highly accessible introduction to a group of important writers.\u201d (Sonya)\nHow to Write an Autobiographical Novel by Alexander Chee: In addition to receiving a starred review\u2014and being named a Top 10 Essay Collection of Spring 2018\u2014by Publishers Weekly, Chee\u2019s essay collection explores a myriad of topics that include identity, the AIDS crisis, Trump, tarot, bookselling, art, activism, and more. Ocean Vuong described the book as \u201clife\u2019s wisdom\u2014its hurts, joys and redemptions\u2014salvaged from a great fire.\u201d (Zo\u00eb)\nDisoriental by N\u00e9gar Djavadi (translated by Tina Kover): From the waiting room of a French fertility clinic, a young woman revisits the stories of generations of her Iranian ancestors culminating in her parents, who brought her to France when she was 10. This French hit, published in English by Europa Editions, is called \u201ca rich, irreverent, kaleidoscopic novel of real originality and power\u201d by Alexander Maksik. (Lydia)\nHeads of the Colored People by Nafissa Thompson-Spires: A debut collection of stories exploring black identity and middle-class life in so-called \u201cpost-racial\u201d America, with storylines ranging from gun violence and depression to lighter matters like a passive-aggressive fight between the mothers of school kids. George Saunders called these stories \u201cvivid, fast, funny, way-smart, and verbally inventive.\u201d (Lydia)\nBlack Swans by Eve Babitz: Until last year, Babitz was an obscure writer who chronicled hedonistic Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s. And then Counterpoint and NYRB Classics began reissuing her memoirs and autofiction, and word of Babitz\u2019s unique voice began to spread. In The New Yorker, Jia Tolentino wrote, \u201cOn the page, Babitz is pure pleasure\u2014a perpetual-motion machine of no-stakes elation and champagne fizz.\u201d Novelist Catie Disabato asserts that Babitz \u201cisn\u2019t the famous men she fucked or the photographs she posed in. She is the five books of memoir and fiction she left behind for young women, freshly moved to Los Angeles, to find.\u201d Black Swans is the latest in these recent reissues. Published in 1993, these stories/essays cover everything from the AIDS crisis to learning to tango. And, of course, the Chateau Marmont. (Edan)\nLook Alive Out There by Sloane Crosley: Crosley, author of the New York Times bestselling essay collection I Was Told There\u2019d Be Cake, returns with a new collection of essays. Ten years removed from her debut, Crosley takes on issues ranging from the pressures of fertility, to swingers, to confronting her own fame. Look Alive promises to be a worthwhile follow-up to Crosley\u2019s 2011 collection How Did You Get This Number?. (Ismail)\nThe Only Story by Julian Barnes: Give this to Barnes: the Man Booker laureate\u2019s not afraid of difficult premises. In his 13th novel, a college student named Paul spends a lazy summer at a tennis club, where he meets a middle-aged woman with two daughters around his age. Soon enough, the two are having an affair, and a flash-forward to a much-older Paul makes clear it upended their lives. (Thom)\nBlue Self-Portrait by No\u00e9mi Lefebvre (translated by Sophie Lewis): In this torrential inner monologue out from Oakland publisher Transit Books, a woman reflects on music, politics and her affair with a musician, a pianist obsessed with the 1910 self-portrait painted by Arnold Schoenberg, a haunting, blue-tinted work in which the composer\u2019s\u201cexpression promised nothing positive for the art of the future, conveyed an anxiety for the future, looked far beyond any definition of the work of art or of the future.\u201d (Matt)\nHow to Be Safe by Tom McCallister: This novel, by the author of The Young Widower\u2019s Handbook, is billed as We Need to Talk About Kevin meets Dept. of Speculation\u2014those are two of my favorite books! Also? Tom McCallister\u2026is a man! Although high school English teacher Anna Crawford is quickly exonerated after being named a suspect in a campus shooting, she nevertheless suffers intense scrutiny in the wake of the tragedy. As the jacket copy says, \u201cAnna decides to wholeheartedly reject the culpability she\u2019s somehow been assigned, and the rampant sexism that comes with it, both in person and online.\u201d Of the book, novelist Amber Sparks writes, \u201cIt\u2019s so wonderful\u2014so furious and so funny and urgent and needed in this mad ugly space we\u2019re sharing with each other.\u201d Author Wiley Cash calls McCallister \u201can exceptionally talented novelist.\u201d (Edan)\nAdjustment Day by Chuck Palahniuk: Four years since publishing his last novel, Palahniuk returns in the era of fake news, obvious government corruption, and widespread despair. (It\u2019s as though the protagonists in his most famous novels were right from the start.) In Adjustment Day, these themes weave together in the form of a mysterious day of reckoning orchestrated by an out of touch, aging group of elected officials. (Nick M.)\nLast Stories by William Trevor: Prior to his death in November 2016, Trevor told a friend that the book he was working on would be called Last Stories. That is this book\u2014the last we will ever have from the Irish author. Six of the 10 stories included here have never been published before, and what preview would be sufficient? Perhaps just this: if the engine of accomplished fiction truly is empathy, then you will be hard pressed to uncover a finer practitioner of the core humanity that inspired and inspires this deliberate, and personal, epitaph. RIP. (Il\u2019ja)\nMEM by Bethany Morrow In this debut novel set in a speculative past, a Montreal-based scientist discovers a way to extract memories from people, resulting in physical beings, Mems, who are forced to experience the same memory over and over. Complications ensue when one of the Mems, Dolores Extract #1, begins to make and form her own memories. (Hannah)\nAnd Now We Have Everything by Meaghan O\u2019Connell: O\u2019Connell\u2019s memoir\u2014her first book\u2014is here to remedy the \u201cnobody tells you what it\u2019s really like\u201d refrain of new mothers. Giving birth to her son in her 20s, after an unplanned pregnancy, O\u2019Connell chronicles the seismic changes that happened to her body, routine, social life, and existential purpose before she knew what was coming. All the cool moms of literary twitter (including Edan!) are raving. (Janet)\nKudos by Rachel Cusk: When I first encountered Cusk\u2019s writing in the mid-aughts I wrote her off as an author of potentially tedious domestic drama. I was woefully wrong. It\u2019s true Cusk is a chronicler of the domestic: she is as known for her memoirs of motherhood and divorce as she is for her novels, but her writing is innovative, observant, and bold. The New Yorker declared that with the trilogy that her latest novel Kudos completes, Cusk has \u201crenovated\u201d the novel, merging fiction with oral history, retooling its structure. Cusk has said: \u201cI\u2019ve never treated fiction as a veil or as a thing to hide behind, which perhaps was, not a mistake exactly, but a sort of risky way to live.\u201d (Anne)\nA Suitable Girl by Vikram Seth: Reportedly delayed by writer\u2019s block brought on by a breakup, Seth has finally produced the much-anticipated sequel to his international smash of 1993, A Suitable Boy. That novel, a gargantuan epic set in post-independence India in the 1950s, was a multi-family saga built around the pursuit of a suitable husband in a world of arranged marriages. In the \u201cjump sequel,\u201d the original protagonist is now in her 80s and on the prowl for a worthy bride for her favorite grandson. Though best-known for A Suitable Boy, the versatile Seth has produced novels, poetry, opera, a verse novel, a travel book, and a memoir. (Bill)\nFlorida by Lauren Groff: After collecting fans like Bara\u200bc\u200bk Obama with her bestselling novel Fates and Furies, \u200bGroff\u2019s next book is a collection of short stories that center around Florida, \u201cthe landscape, climate, history, and state of mind\u200b.\u201d Included is \u200b\u201dDogs Go Wolf,\u200b\u201d\u200b the haunting story that appeared in The New Yorker earlier in the year. \u200bIn a\u200b recent\u200b interview,\u200b Groff gave us the lay of the land:\u200b \u201cThe collection is a portrait of my own incredible ambivalence about the state where I\u2019ve lived for twelve years.\u200b..\u200bI love the disappearing natural world, the sunshine, the extraordinary and astonishing beauty of the place as passionately as I hate the heat and moisture and backward politics and the million creatures whose only wish is to kill you.\u200b\u201d\u200b (Claire)\nThere There by Tommy Orange: Set in Oakland, Orange\u2019s novel describes the disparate lives that come together for the Oakland Powwow and what happens to them when they get there. In an extraordinary endorsement, Sherman Alexie writes that Orange\u2019s novel \u201cis truly the first book to capture what it means to be an urban Indian\u2014perhaps the first novel ever to celebrate and honor and elevate the joys and losses of urban Indians. You might think I\u2019m exaggerating but this book is so revolutionary\u2014evolutionary\u2014that Native American literature will never be the same.\u201d (Lydia)\nUpstate by James Wood: It\u2019s been 15 years since Wood\u2019s first novel, The Book Against God, was published. What was Wood doing in the meantime? Oh, just influencing a generation of novelists from his perch at The New Yorker, where his dissecting reviews also functioned as miniature writing seminars. He also penned a writing manual, How Fiction Works. His sophomore effort concerns the Querry family, who reunite in upstate New York to help a family member cope with depression and to pose the kinds of questions fiction answers best: How do people get through difficulty? What does it mean to be happy? How should we live our lives? (Hannah)\nThe Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai: This third novel from the acclaimed author of The Borrower and The Hundred-Year House interlaces the story of an art gallery director whose friends are succumbing to the AIDS epidemic in 1980s Chicago with a mother struggling to find her estranged daughter 30 years later in contemporary Paris. \u201cThe Great Believers is by turns funny, harrowing, tender, devastating, and always hugely suspenseful,\u201d says Margot Livesey, author of Mercury. (Michael)\nGood Trouble by Joseph O\u2019Neill: Frequent New Yorker and Harper\u2019s readers will know that O\u2019Neill has been writing a lot of short fiction lately. With the new Good Trouble, the Netherland author now has a full collection, comprised of 11 off-kilter, unsettling stories. Their characters range from a would-be renter in New York who can\u2019t get anyone to give him a reference to a poet who can\u2019t decide whether or not to sign a petition. (Thom)\nNumber One Chinese Restaurant by Lillian Li: A family chronicle, workplace drama, and love story rolled into one, Li\u2019s debut chronicles the universe of the Beijing Duck House restaurant of Rockville, Md., run by a family and long-time employees who intertwine in various ways when disaster strikes. Lorrie Moore raves, \u201cher narratives are complex, mysterious, moving, and surprising.\u201d (Lydia)\nSICK by Porochista Khakpour: In her much anticipated memoir SICK, Khakpour chronicles her arduous experience with illness, specifically late-stage Lyme disease. She examines her efforts to receive a diagnosis and the psychological and physiological impact of being so sick for so long, including struggles with mental health and addiction. Khakpour\u2019s memoir demonstrates the power of survival in the midst of pain and uncertainty. (Zo\u00eb)\nFight No More by Lydia Millet: Millet\u2019s 2010 collection Love in Infant Monkeys was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Eight years later she\u2019s released another collection of stories arranged around a real estate broker and their family as they struggle to reconnect. Millet\u2019s satire is well-known for it\u2019s sharp brutality\u2014and its compassionate humanity. Both sides are on full display here. (Kaulie)\nTonight I\u2019m Someone Else by Chelsea Hodson: Examining the intersection of social media and intimacy, the commercial and the corporeal, the theme of Hodson\u2019s essay collection is how we are pushed and pulled by our desire. The Catapult teacher\u2019s debut has been called \u201cracingly good\u2026refreshing and welcome\u201d by Maggie Nelson. (Tess)\nInvitation to a Bonfire by Adrienne Celt: On the heels of her critically praised debut, The Daughters, Celt gives us a love-triangle story that, according to the publisher, is \u201cinspired by the infamous Nabokov marriage, with a spellbinding psychological thriller at its core.\u201d The protagonist is a young Russian refugee named Zoya who becomes entangled with her boarding school\u2019s visiting writer, Leo Orlov, and his imperious wife, Vera. Our own Edan Lepucki praised the novel as \u201ca sexy, brilliant, and gripping novel about the fine line between passion and obsession. I am in awe of Celt\u2019s mastery as a prose stylist and storyteller; I can\u2019t stop thinking about this amazing book.\u201d (Sonya)\nLife Is Short and This Book Is Long: Two Thoroughly Modern Women Continue to Discuss \u2018David Copperfield\u2019\nIn part one of this two-part series, Meaghan O\u2019Connell and I discussed our experience reading David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. At that point, we were a couple of hundred pages into the novel. Now we are back to continue that conversation, and to illuminate for our audience just what it means to read (or not read) a classic in 2016\u2026and to no doubt embarrass ourselves further in the name of honesty, entertainment, and, of course, literature.\nEdan Lepucki: I\u2019m 80 pages from finishing David Copperfield\u2026and I\u2019ve given up. I just can\u2019t do it anymore. The endless scenes with characters\u2019 verbal tics on full display; the moralizing about the beauty of a woman\u2019s purity; Mr. Micawber\u2019s debts and heart; Uriah Heep\u2019s writhing. I just can\u2019t. I am so bored! I found that I was barely reading and when I stop reading my life takes on a sad, lifeless tone, like my hair before I get my blonde highlights. My former English professor, the brilliant David Walker, wondered on Twitter why we didn\u2019t try Our Mutual Friend or Bleak House. Why didn\u2019t we? I guess I wanted a comic novel, a famous crowd pleaser. But I am far from pleased.\nWhere are you in the novel? Are you compelled to continue?\nI am left with a few thoughts from this project. The first one being, what does \u201cDickensian\u201d mean? Want to take a stab at defining that, based on what you\u2019ve read of Davy C.?\nMeaghan O\u2019Connell: Oh, Edan. When I got this email from you I cheered out loud. I still have 200 pages to go and I can barely remember what it\u2019s like to truly love a book. I am so behind and the book is starting to feel endless. Every night I tell myself, \u201cOkay, go to bed early. Read for an hour or more.\u201d Then I get in bed, read two pages, and fall asleep at 9 pm or whatever it is.\nI am still a little invested, mostly in D.C.\u2019s romantic prospects, but I, too, would prefer to never read the name Uriah Heep again. I think I want to finish it, but I need to bring a few more books into the rotation, save it for when I am in a certain mood, I guess the mood to be somewhat tediously entertained?\nIT\u2019S SO LONG.\nI wanted to read David Copperfield because supposedly it is the author\u2019s favorite, and based largely/vaguely on his own life. And the book does make me curious about Dickens himself, or at least the narrator. Like, hi, D.C., please, step forward, talk to me in like 200 pages instead of 860. Maybe tell a different story altogether? Great Expectations perhaps? I probably should have just re-read that. I love reading things I read when I was younger and understanding things that passed by me then.\nDickensian. I think in casual conversation people mean it to be \u201cabout poor people\u201d? Things that are bleak. I picture a small boy with soot on his cheeks, begging for bread, maybe a starving cat in the background. It\u2019s all very grey. There are waistcoats, which it turns out are simply VESTS, and they are threadbare. I think this is based almost entirely on Oliver Twist?\nHaving read 70 percent of the book I would say that I guess that isn\u2019t totally off, but if you said a book was Dickensian, well, for one, I would not want to read it, at least not for a long time. I would imagine it to be bloated but funny, obsessed with class, tragicomic? An orphan? A lot of failed romance but probably some sort of happy ending (I may never know the end of this, but he does reference his future children at some point \u2014 which was weird!)\nIt\u2019s been strange to read a book I just like okay, to be missing that big propulsive drive in my life. This book is not really making me think about anything? It\u2019s not inspiring, or not in any way that is conscious. I guess I am inspired that Dickens took up so much damned space. Mostly it\u2019s felt, much as it did the last time I read his work, like homework. I need a breath of fresh air! I have no urge to write lately and I never thought I\u2019d say this/provoke lovers of Victorian literature in this way, but I blame Charles Dickens.\nHave you really abandoned poor Davey? (Edan, you know he probably has abandonment issues!!) Are you on to other books? What\u2019s it like on the other side?! I\u2019m really left feeling like, God, maybe I should just watch a BBC version of this book and see if he ends up marrying Agnes after all. I really wouldn\u2019t recommend it to anyone who is not a scholar of some kind, which seems like a pretty brazen pronouncement, but, you know what, I stand by it. Do not read this book!! Life is short.\nEdan: What\u2019s amazing to me is how many people, when I told them I was reading David Copperfield, said that they had read and loved the book when they were younger. This is startling to me because, while Dickens isn\u2019t difficult on the sentence level, there are still quite a few cultural and era-specific references that were unclear to me, as a worldly adult. (For instance, all the stuff around Copperfield\u2019s career, before he starts writing for money, confused me.) And the intense moralizing about young women made me worried about all the women who read this as kids. Don\u2019t run off with the hot asshole, little girls, or you will never recover! (Well, hey, that\u2019s maybe kind of a good lesson to live by\u2026) It did make me consider David C. as a (very) long young adult novel, or even middle grade novel. The reader, for a time, is Davy\u2019s age, and can grow along with him. There were a lot of plot turns that I saw coming for hundreds of pages, which might be less obvious to a younger audience.\nWhen I think about \u201cDickensian\u201d I, like you, first imagine waistcoats and soot, a bad cough. Certainly orphans. But also long narratives that rely very much on coincidence. Now that I\u2019ve read most of David Copperfield, I\u2019d say, too, that the Dickensian style has colorful and immediately memorable characters with distinct names and ways of speaking: Peggoty, Mr. Dick, Miss Murdstone. As much as I began to dislike this novel, I\u2019m in awe of how efficiently he brought these figures to life, and with such joy, it seems.\nIn his terrific introduction to the Modern Library edition of the novel, David Gates does a bang-up job of citing the book\u2019s flaws, from Mr. Micawber\u2019s anti-semitic one-liner to Dickens\u2019s flawed and flat depiction of women, such as Agnes, whom Gates calls \u201cthe celestially backlit hall monitor.\u201d He goes on to argue that Dickens \u201cwrites best about damaged, dark, and dangerous women.\u201d Gates cites the scarred Rosa Dartle in the novel, whom I was also very much mesmerized by. Aside from the needless length of the book, I do think the depictions of women were what made me finally put it down. I started skimming right around when Dora asked Davy to call her Child Wife. Just no.\nSince you asked, I\u2019ve given up D.C. for good and I\u2019m enjoying reading again. I ate up Charles Yu\u2019s metafictional How to Life Safely in a Science Fictional Universe, which is like Italo Calvino crossed with Bill & Ted\u2019s Excellent Adventure crossed with George Saunders. Then I read the forthcoming debut novel Home Field by The Millions staff writer Hannah Gersen, which was so beautiful and compelling that she and I joked my blurb should be: \u201cBetter than Dickens!\u201d\nSpeaking of Hannah, she told me that she appreciates Dickens\u2019s influence more than Dickens\u2019s work. What do you think this means?\nMeaghan: It\u2019s funny you wrote today because I picked the book back up last night! I\u2019d read enough of Charlotte Shane and then Rebecca Curtis to be ready to reenter the fore. It was very pleasant. If I can keep reading intense lyric memoirs and bizarro short stories between chapters of this doorstopper, I might just finish it.\nThe \u201cmy great love is so delicate!\u201d shit is pretty tedious, though I did laugh when he described her to Agnes, making excuses for how fragile she was, how she couldn\u2019t be troubled with this or that. Getting relationship advice from the unassuming girl everyone else knows you SHOULD be with felt so modern \u2014 a satisfying set up! If he isn\u2019t headed for one in a series of falls and if he doesn\u2019t end up with backlit Agnes, I will be bitter indeed.\nAnd you\u2019re right \u2014 efficient! Who would have thought we\u2019d use that word to describe Dickens? The very name Miss Murdstone makes me so angry. Mr. Micawber evokes dread, awkwardness. They flit in and out of the story so any lasting impression seems like an achievement. There\u2019s a sort of necessary hamfistedness? Or if it\u2019s deliberate maybe it\u2019s just over-the-top, but good over-the-top. He\u2019s having fun with it, there seems to be this continual raised eyebrow throughout, and yet he maintains such sincerity with David Copperfield! Maybe that\u2019s what feels sort of YA about it? He\u2019s so pure of heart and unflagging and \u201chonorable\u201d and so on. He\u2019s good-humored but never totally self-aware? It\u2019s SO sincere even as it\u2019s funny.\nPoor kids being assigned this book in school. At least with Great Expectations there is the spider cake to cling to.\nI totally get the influence versus the work thing, what a smart, gentle thing to say, like maybe he might read this. A friend, when I told her I wanted to read some Dickens, was like, \u201cOr maybe read some Nancy Mitford? Or Jane Austen even?\u201d\nTo me \u201cDickensian\u201d evokes what I was trying to get at earlier, a sense of playfulness (I hate when adults say \u201cplay\u201d but there it is), a very kind evisceration, wit, and a noble heart. It is fun, though I think it\u2019s more fun to have that foundation and then undercut it. It\u2019s thrilling in a way, how tired so much of it feels, while still being full of life. To have him be brilliant but also to feel like we (\u201cwe\u201d lol) have made progress, literature-wise! Is that crazy to say? We\u2019re better than you now, Dickens, but thank you for your service.\nEdan: I love your phrase, \u201ca very kind evisceration\u201d \u2014 this is such an accurate description of what Dickens is up to in David Copperfield. I definitely appreciate this gift of his. But gift-appreciation is different from pure enjoyment.\nAgain, though, I circle back to this idea that perhaps we chose the wrong book; certainly we wouldn\u2019t say that the contemporary novels we adore are better than, say, Bleak House, which everyone seems to agree is a masterpiece. I would bet that most Dickens scholars and lovers would choose another book of his for us to judge. Maybe David Copperfield is too of its time to truly work for contemporary readers such as ourselves. I get the sense that it was written to be an immersive, rousing text for the readers of its day; perhaps his more \u201cserious\u201d novels were striving for something other than immersion: complication, profundity.\nAll the 18th-century literature I read in college, like Pamela, or Humphry Clinker, were fun to talk about but a chore to read \u2014 their storytelling techniques were just so obvious and clunky. While David Copperfield was a far better read than those novels, I\u2019m still having a better time discussing the book with you than I did reading said book. Back when I was in that 18th-century literature class, I remember feeling that The Novel, as a machine to entertain and move the reader, had become much sleeker and more powerful over the years. But by the 19th century, the machinery had improved considerably. We have Austen, as you mentioned. (Emma was published in 1815.) And George Eliot \u2014 my god, what brilliance! Middlemarch came later in the century, in 1874. David Copperfield, published in 1850, came between those two books. Perhaps some learned person can step forward to tell us why and how novels got so much more refined in the 1800s \u2014 only a century (or less) later. And is Copperfield\u2019s episodic/picaresque quality (is it a picaresque?) a throwback to these older books? I wonder, I wonder.\nI asked Hannah Gersen what she meant by Dickensian influence and she echoed what we\u2019ve been saying, and she also remarked that Christmas movies owe a huge debt to Charles D. She\u2019s right!\nWill you read more Dickens in 2016? Ever? What do you take away from this experiment in ye olden classics?\nMeaghan: God. It\u2019s just TOO LONG. My edition is 866 pages. Life is too short to read something so plodding. And yet, I\u2019m still reading it. I have a hard time giving up on books. I keep thinking maybe there will be some revelation near the end that will have made it all worthwhile. Like something big will unlock for me, literature-wise.\nI am still a good 200 pages from the end and I just read the chapter about him marrying Dora (spoiler alert) and he totally elided the sex, while still referring to it in a sentence that manages to be both not quite comprehensible and totally revolting:\nIt was a strange condition of things, the honeymoon being over, and the bridesmaids gone home, when I found myself sitting down in my own small house with Dora; quite thrown out of employment, as I may say, in respect of the delicious old occupation of making love.\nA run-on, but a lot of nice language I think. \u201cMy own small house\u201d is good. \u201cThe honeymoon being over, and the bridesmaids gone home,\u201d also really good, I\u2019d say! BUT THEN, he ruins it all with \u201cthe delicious old occupation of making love.\u201d\nComing from him, it reminds me of that SNL skit where they eat meat in a hot tub and call each other lover. Also I\u2019ll admit I don\u2019t quite know what he means by \u201cquite thrown out of employment, as I may say\u201d \u2014 NO YOU MAY NOT SAY, because it makes no sense. Is he fucking too much to go to work or did she fire him from fucking her? Is he just done doing it around the clock and settling into married life? (Probably.)\nAnyway, not a word about the sex except that it was delicious, which, good for you, but gross. Very Jonathan Franzen.\nThere is a part of me that wants to try a different book because I am so stubborn and I don\u2019t want to have given over like six weeks of my reading life to this book that is not as good as Austen! To think they were written around the same time! I am no expert in \u201cwhat the novel does or is or wants to be\u201d but, wow, the ladies were doing it better (If I may say! And I may!).\nMaybe if I read Bleak House and it\u2019s a masterpiece that opens up my brain, this will all have been worth it? These are the thoughts I\u2019m left with, Edan.\nI just read Rachel Cusk\u2019s Outline and it was the perfect antidote, which is what other books are to me now: antidotes to David Copperfield.\nLone Struggle\n\u201cMany of the most powerful characters in our best-loved stories are orphaned, adopted, fostered, or found. At the same time, many of the most powerless citizens in our society are orphaned, adopted, or fostered children, and the marginalized adults that so many become. Why have so few of us even noticed this centuries-old disparity?\u201d On literature\u2019s most celebrated protagonists, from Oliver Twist to Anne of Green Gables.\nNew Edition, Old Problems: On Hemingway\u2019s The Sun Also Rises\nJonathan Goldman | 21\nScribner\u2019s has published an edition of The Sun Also Rises highlighted by a variant opening chapter-and-a-half, material that Hemingway eliminated from his final draft at the encouragement of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Readers are used to the 1926 novel starting off with a portrait of Robert Cohn; it turns out that, as many scholars have known, Hemingway planned to commence with the words \u201cThis is a novel about a lady,\u201d and a snapshot of Lady Bret Ashley, only then to launch into his dissection of Cohn, in the middle of chapter two. This manuscript material is now available in \u201cThe Hemingway Library Edition,\u201d volume, put out by Hemingway\u2019s original publisher under the editorial aegis of Patrick Hemingway (his son) and Se\u00e1n Hemingway (the grandson also rises). The release prompts us to consider how to receive this introduction and challenges us to wrap our heads around an alternate universe in which Fitzgerald\u2019s advice goes unheeded. There will be skepticism about the endeavor; indeed, the previous \u201cHemingway Library Edition,\u201d led to a bit of a takedown right here in The Millions.\nThe Sun Also Rises, its author\u2019s first novel, crystallizes elements of the Hemingway canon: boozey expatriate Parisian lifestyle, delight in homosociality, bullfighting and bullrunning in Pamplona, how to fish correctly, how to write correctly, how to do anything correctly. I\u2019ve included the book on countless course syllabi and read it almost as many times, and I still find it remarkable that this seminal work of Hemingway\u2019s oeuvre, this text famous for defining the \u201clost generation,\u201d starts out with a passage rich in thinly veiled anti-semitism. (The broken proboscis that Cohn suffers in a boxing match is said to \u201cimprove\u201d his nose. We get it.) Therefore my first response to the new edition was to wonder whether it was an attempt to steer readers away from the unsavory aspects of the novel, a trigger warning-age sanding down of edges, meant to ease readers into the scornful Cohn section, rather than bludgeoning us with it at the start.\nIf so, I have some bad news, news that I will encapsulate in a word: Nordic. Or rather: non-nordic. The word \u201cNordic\u201d does not appear at all in the standard The Sun Also Rises, but it arises in the new manuscript material, where the epithet \u201cnon-Nordic\u201d is applied to Robert Cohn. This is 1920s terminology fraught with racializing overtones, and its presence here serves to highlight some of the nastiness in Hemingway\u2019s book.\nWhat to make of the fact that Fitzgerald had a hand in editing the term out? In The Great Gatsby, published a year before The Sun Also Rises, the villainous Tom Buchanan disquisitions about the \u201cdominant race\u201d: \u201cWe\u2019re Nordics,\u201d he says to his white, old-moneyed company, and it is their responsibility to defend civilization from them who are not. Buchanan is parroting ideas from Lothrop Stoddard\u2019s The Rising Tide of Color, a book that will show up in Jay Gatsby\u2019s personal library; Fitzgerald draws the rhetoric from a system of racial thinking popular in early 20th-century America, a jumble of white supremacism, eugenics, both imperialism and isolationism, and xenophobia. No less dangerous for being inconsistent and disunified, it was a powerful enough undercurrent to produce the restrictive 1924 Immigration Act. It is the relationship to this context that leads Walter Benn Michaels, in a controversial argument in his book Our America, to situate Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises within a subgenre of 1920s literature he calls \u201cnativist modernism.\u201d\nThe inclusion of the word \u201cnordics\u201d brings the new edition of The Sun Also Rises closer in line with this system of thought, highlighting how contempt for Cohn is never far removed from his supposedly inferior racial stock. Throughout the novel, this inferiority is often put as a matter of social behavior and aesthetic taste. Cohn is unglib, unstoic, uninebriated, and is a fan of W.H. Hudson, who generated the kind of prose that Hemingway steeled himself every day of his life not to write. Indeed, the introductory material clarifies some of the condescension; it offers a history of Lady Bret Ashley\u2019s names that makes legible Cohn\u2019s later gaffe as her addresses her as \u201cLady Bret\u201d instead of the proper \u201cLady Ashley.\u201d The newly published passages also establish language that will form the novel\u2019s memes. Ashley\u2019s fianc\u00e9e is called \u201cnice,\u201d a code for social approval that Hemingway proceeds to use 967 times in the novel (may not be the exact number), and is also described as \u201cone of us\u201d \u2014 terms that are used to exclude Cohn.\nEven the initial assertion that Ashley is the novel\u2019s focus is undermined by the depiction that follows, which largely treats the same question driving the overall plot: which male will win the right to possess the female body in the end? (No, this is not a novel that would pass the Bechdel test.) Throughout The Sun Also Rises, that issue is made more urgent by the possibility that Cohn will succeed in the end, the anxiety that Nordic stock would become diminished.\nHemingway\u2019s discarded opening section includes a passage in which his narrator Jake Barnes self-reflectively ruminates over his choice to use the \u201cI\u201d of the first-person voice. Not just fodder for narratology geeks, this moment can open the door to readings that will claim that the novel is portraying its derision based on class and ethnicity (and, at times, gender and sexual orientation) with self-awareness \u2014 that it\u2019s all ironic! The text seems confused at times, sure, but the fact is that Cohn is never redeemed or relieved of his role as nemesis, and that the novel ends with Barnes rescuing Ashley from a disastrous affair with a Spanish bullfighter.\nI\u2019m less interested in how The Sun Also Rises dramatizes the racial anxieties of the 1920s than I am with our cultural memory of the book. We are made aware of the unhappy ethnic elements of Oliver Twist and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, but the foundational 1920s U.S. novels get a pass, it seems to me. The Sun Also Rises is known as a novel of the lost generation, and Gatsby as one of the jazz age, while both are formed out of the dark stuff of our history. The new-old introduction of The Sun Also Rises can\u2019t mitigate that; maybe it can help us reckon with it better.\nAre We Entering a Golden Age of the Second Novel?\n\u201cFeminism did not need a guilty drunk!\u201d\nFor years I bought into the old saw that says the second novel is the hardest one to write. It seemed to make sense. When starting out, most writers pour everything from the first 20 (or 30, or 40) years of their lives into their debut novel. It\u2019s only natural that on the second visit to the well, many novelists find it has gone dry.\nStephen Fry, the British writer and actor, explained it this way: \u201cThe problem with a second novel is that it takes almost no time to write compared with a first novel. If I write my first novel in a month at the age of 23 and my second novel takes me two years, which one have I written more quickly? The second, of course. The first took 23 years and contains all the experience, pain, stored-up artistry, anger, love, hope, comic invention and despair of a lifetime. The second is an act of professional writing. That is why it is so much more difficult.\u201d\nFry made these remarks at the inaugural awarding of the Encore Prize, established in England in 1989 to honor writers who successfully navigate the peculiar perils of the second novel. Winners have included Iain Sinclair, Colm Toibin, A.L. Kennedy, and Claire Messud.\nFry\u2019s point is well taken, but it\u2019s just the beginning of the difficulties facing the second novelist. If a first novel fails to become a blockbuster, as almost all of them do, publishers are less inclined to get behind the follow-up by a writer who has gained a dubious track record but has lost that most precious of all literary selling points: novelty. Writers get only one shot at becoming The Next Big Thing, which, to too many publishers, is The Only Thing. Failure to do so can carry a wicked and long-lasting sting.\n(Full disclosure: I\u2019m speaking from experience. My first novel enjoyed respectable sales and a gratifying critical reception, including a largely positive review from impossible-to-please Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times. But the novel failed to land on any best-seller lists or get me on Oprah. Five years later, my second novel disappeared like a stone dropped in a lake. I don\u2019t think anyone even noticed the splash. I recently sold my third novel \u2014 17 years after that quiet splash.)\nThere\u2019s plenty of empirical evidence to support the claim that the second novel is the hardest one to write \u2014 and that it can be even harder to live down. After his well-received 1988 debut, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, Michael Chabon spent years wrestling with a woolly, 1,500-page beast called The Fountain that finally defeated him and wound up in a drawer. Wisely, Chabon went in a different direction and produced Wonder Boys, a successful second novel that was, technically, his third. After getting nominated for a National Book Award for her 1973 debut, State of Grace, Joy Williams puzzled and pissed-off a lot of people with The Changeling, her unsettling second novel about a drunk woman on an island full of feral kids. Williams blamed the book\u2019s frosty reception on the political climate of the late 1970s: \u201cFeminism did not need a guilty drunk!\u201d Martin Amis followed his fine debut, The Rachel Papers, with the disappointingly flippant Dead Babies. I still find it hard to believe that the writer responsible for Dead Babies (and an even worse wreck called Night Train) could also be capable of the brilliant London Fields, Time\u2019s Arrow, The Information and, especially, Money: A Suicide Note. Then again, outsize talent rarely delivers a smooth ride. Even Zadie Smith stumbled with The Autograph Man after her acclaimed debut, White Teeth.\nSometimes a hugely successful \u2014 or over-praised \u2014 first novel can be a burden rather than a blessing. Alex Garland, Audrey Niffenegger, Charles Frazier, and Donna Tartt all enjoyed smash debuts, then suffered critical and/or popular disappointments the second time out. Frazier had the consolation of getting an $8 million advance for his dreadful Thirteen Moons, while Niffenegger got $5 million for Her Fearful Symmetry. That kind of money can salve the sting of even the nastiest reviews and most disappointing sales. Tartt regained her footing with her third novel, The Goldfinch, currently the most popular book among readers of The Millions and a few hundred thousand other people.\nA handful of writers never produce a second novel, for varied and deeply personal reasons. Among the one-hit wonders we\u2019ve written about here are James Ross, Harper Lee, Margaret Mitchell, and Ralph Ellison. And in certain rare cases, the second novel is not only the hardest one to write, it\u2019s the last one that gets written. Consider Philip Larkin. He published two highly regarded novels, Jill and A Girl in Winter, back to back in the 1940s \u2014 and then abruptly abandoned fiction in favor of poetry. Why? Clive James offered one theory: \u201cThe hindsight answer is easy: because he was about to become the finest poet of his generation, instead of just one of its best novelists. A more inquiring appraisal suggests that although his aesthetic effect was rich, his stock of events was thin\u2026Larkin, while being to no extent a dandy, is nevertheless an exquisite. It is often the way with exquisites that they graduate from full-scale prentice constructions to small-scale works of entirely original intensity, having found a large expanse limiting.\u201d In other words, for some writers the biggest canvas is not necessarily the best one.\nOf course, second novels don\u2019t always flop \u2014 or drive their creators away from fiction-writing. Oliver Twist, Pride and Prejudice, Samuel Richardson\u2019s Clarissa, Thomas Pynchon\u2019s The Crying of Lot 49, and John Updike\u2019s Rabbit, Run are just a few of the many second novels that were warmly received upon publication and have enjoyed a long shelf life. But until about a year ago, I regarded such stalwarts as the exceptions that proved the rule. Then a curious thing happened. I came upon a newly published second novel that knocked me out. Then another. And another. In all of these cases, the second novel was not merely a respectable step up from a promising debut. The debuts themselves were highly accomplished, critically acclaimed books; the second novels were even more ambitious, capacious, and assured.\nI started to wonder: With so much high-quality fiction getting written every day in America \u2014 especially by writers who are supposed to be in the apprentice phase of their careers \u2014 is it possible that we\u2019re entering a golden age of the second novel? Here are three writers who make me believe we are:\nRachel Kushner\u2019s 2008 debut, Telex from Cuba, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Refreshingly free of the mirror-gazing that mars many first novels, it told the story of two insulated colonies in the eastern end of Cuba in the late 1950s, where Americans were blithely extracting riches from sugar crops and nickel deposits while Fidel Castro and his rebels were getting ready to sweep away the corrupt regime of Fulgencio Batista \u2014 and, with it, the Americans\u2019 cloistered world.\nThe novel is richly researched and deeply personal. Kushner\u2019s grandfather was a mining executive in Cuba in the 1950s, and her mother grew up there. Kushner interviewed family members, pored over their memorabilia, even traveled to Cuba to walk the ground and talk to people who remembered life before the revolution. To her great credit, Kushner\u2019s imagination took precedence over her prodigious research as she sat down to write. As she told an interviewer, \u201cJust because something is true doesn\u2019t mean it has a place.\u201d\nWhile her debut took place inside a hermetically sealed cloister, Kushner\u2019s second novel, The Flamethrowers, explodes across time and space. The central character is Reno, a young woman from the West hoping to break into the 1970s downtown New York art scene, a motorcycle racer with \u201ca need for risk.\u201d But Reno\u2019s artistic aspirations are merely the springboard for this ambitious novel as it moves from the 1970s to the First World War, from America to Europe to South America. It teems with characters, events, voices, ideas. It\u2019s a big, sprawling, assured novel, and it announced the arrival of a major talent.\nDear American Airlines, Jonathan Miles\u2019s first novel, exists in an even more tightly circumscribed space than Kushner\u2019s American enclave in pre-revolutionary Cuba. This novel takes place inside the American Airlines terminal at Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare Airport \u2014 or, more accurately, inside the brain of Benjamin R. Ford, who has been stranded at O\u2019Hare while trying to fly from New York to Los Angeles to attend the wedding of his gay daughter and, just maybe, reverse the downward momentum of a magnificently botched life. The novel\u2019s conceit is a beauty: furious and utterly powerless, Ben, a failed poet, a failed drunk, a failed husband and father \u2014 but a reasonably successful translator \u2014 decides to sit down and write a complaint letter, demanding a refund from the soulless corporation that has kept him from attending his daughter\u2019s wedding, effectively thwarting his last chance at redemption. The conceit could have turned the novel into a one-trick pony in less capable hands, but Miles manages to make Ben\u2019s plight emblematic of what it\u2019s like to live in America today \u2014 trapped and manipulated by monstrous forces but, if you happen to be as funny and resourceful as Ben Ford, never defeated by them.\nIt was a deft performance, but Miles outdid it last year with his second novel, Want Not, a meditation on the fallout of omnivorous consumerism. It tells three seemingly unrelated stories that come together only at the novel\u2019s end: Talmadge and Micah, a couple of freegan scavengers, are squatting in an abandoned apartment on the New York\u2019s Lower East Side, living immaculately pure lives off the grid; Elwin Cross Jr., a linguist who studies dying languages, lives alone miserably in the New Jersey suburbs, regularly visiting the nursing home where his father is succumbing to Alzheimer\u2019s; and Dave Masoli, a bottom-feeding debt collector, his wife Sara, whose husband was killed on 9/11, and her daughter Alexis, who brings the strands of the story together, in shocking fashion.\nFrom the first pages, it\u2019s apparent that the themes are large, the characters are vivid and complex (with the exception of Dave Masoli), and the prose is rigorously polished. Here\u2019s one of many astonishing sentences, a description of what Elwin hears after he has accidentally struck and killed a deer while driving home late at night:\nIt took a few seconds for the panicked clatter in his head to subside, for the hysterical warnings and recriminations being shouted from his subcortex to die down, and then: silence, or what passes for silence in that swath of New Jersey: the low-grade choral hum of a million near and distant engine pistons firing through the night, and as many industrial processes, the muted hiss and moan of sawblades and metal stamps and hydraulic presses and conveyor belts and coalfired turbines, plus the thrum of jets, whole flocks of them, towing invisible contrails toward Newark, and the insectile buzz of helicopters flying low and locust-like over fields of radio towers and above the scrollwork of turnpike exits, all of it fused into a single omnipresent drone, an aural smog that was almost imperceptible unless you stood alone and quivering on a deserted highwayside in the snow-hushed black hours of a November morning with a carcass hardening in the ice at your feet.\nWant Not is a profound book not because Miles preaches, not even because he understands that we are what we throw away, but because he knows that our garbage tells us everything we need to know about ourselves, and it never lies.\nIn 1994, Charles McNair\u2019s weird little first novel, Land O\u2019 Goshen, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. It reads as if it were written by Faulkner on acid. It\u2019s corn-pone sci-fi. It\u2019s nasty and funny. It\u2019s brilliant.\nThe title conjures two locales: the place in Egypt where the Israelites began their exodus to the Promised Land; and the place where the novel unfolds, a little one-blinking-light grease stain in the piney wastes of southern Alabama. The story is told by Buddy, a 14-year-old orphan who lives in the woods, dodging the Christian soldiers who are trying to subjugate the populace. This future era is called the New Times, but it\u2019s a lot like the Old Testament \u2014 bloody tooth and bloody claw. Sometimes Buddy dresses up in animal skins and, as The Wild Thing, terrorizes the locals, trying \u201cto wake up those tired, beaten-down old souls in every place where folks just gave up to being stupid and bored and commanded.\u201d Buddy enjoys a brief idyll at his forest hideout with a beautiful girl named Cissy Jean Barber, but the world won\u2019t leave them in peace. Through the nearly Biblical tribulations of his coming of age, Buddy learns the key to survival: \u201cSad sorrow can\u2019t kill you, if you don\u2019t let it.\u201d\nLast year, after nearly two decades of silence, McNair finally published his second novel, Pickett\u2019s Charge. It\u2019s bigger than its predecessor in every way. It traverses an ocean, a century, a continent. If Land O\u2019 Goshen was content to be a fable, Pickett\u2019s Charge aspires to become a myth. It tells the story of Threadgill Pickett, a former Confederate soldier who, at the age of 114 in 1964, is a resident of the Mobile Sunset Home in Alabama. As a teenage soldier, Threadgill watched Yankees murder his twin brother, Ben, a century earlier, and when Ben\u2019s ghost appears at the nursing home to inform Threadgill that he has located the last living Yankee soldier, a wealthy man in Bangor, Maine, Threadgill embarks on one last mission to avenge his brother\u2019s death.\nPickett\u2019s Charge has obvious echoes \u2013 the Bible, Twain, Cervantes, Marquez, Allan Gurganus\u2019s Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All. But this novel\u2019s most direct forebear might be Charles Portis\u2019s Norwood, another story about a southerner\u2019s quixotic journey to the North to seek justice. While Threadgill Pickett is after something big \u2014 vengeance \u2014 Norwood Pratt is simply out to collect the $70 he loaned a buddy in the Marines. Yet McNair and Portis seem to agree that folly is folly, regardless of its scale. And they both know how to turn it into wicked fun.\nOf course one could argue that a half dozen books do not constitute a trend or herald a new golden age. But I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve missed a truckload of recent second novels that would buttress my claim. Maybe Jenny Offill\u2019s Dept. of Speculation, which has come out 15 years after her debut and is concerned, in part, with the difficulty of writing a second novel. Surely there are others that disprove the old saw. I would love it if you would tell me about them.\nEssays, Lists\nThe Author Sends Her Regrets: J.K. Rowling and Other Writers with Second Thoughts\nRecently J.K. Rowling dropped a bombshell on the smoking remnants of one of the fiercest shipping wars of the last decade: \u201cI wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That\u2019s how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron.\u201d It\u2019s from an interview conducted by Hermione herself, Emma Watson, excerpted in the Sunday Times; the full article, in an issue of Wonderland Magazine guest-edited by Watson, came out on Friday. (The words \u201cpublicity stunt\u201d may be floating around, but that kind of speculation is useless.) The ladies, bafflingly, \u201cagree[d] that Harry and Hermione were a better match than Ron and Hermione,\u201d Ron wouldn\u2019t be able to satisfy Hermione\u2019s needs, and the pair as she wrote them would need relationship counseling. And then the internet exploded.\nOK, first of all, JKR, please just stop. Is the most aggravating thing about all of this the fact that Hermione doesn\u2019t belong with either of these jokers? Was there literally anyone else for her to get with? (Rowling\u2019s shoddy math suggests possibly not; despite the insistence in an early interview that \u201cthere are about a thousand students at Hogwarts,\u201d there remain just eight Gryffindors in the matriculating class of \u201998, suggesting no more than three dozen in the entire year, a whole house of which remain irredeemably, mustache-twirlingly evil despite seven books in which to write convincing moral ambivalence and complexity. But I digress.)\nBut also, JKR, please just stop \u2014 for reasons that have a lot to do with literature. Because the weirdest thing about the statement is the \u201cwish fulfillment\u201d bit, which I\u2019ve seen interpreted many different ways, none of them satisfactory. My read of it is accompanied by this question: how is a writer setting down a plot from her head wish fulfillment? Forced, sure \u2014 this certainly wasn\u2019t the only instance where it seemed that Rowling was stifled by the tyranny of the outline she mapped out more than a decade before penning The Deathly Hallows. (I spent years wondering how the hell the final word would, as promised, be \u201cscar,\u201d though by the time I got to the last page of the epilogue I was too infuriated to care.)\nThis isn\u2019t the first time that Rowling has \u201crevealed\u201d further details about her characters, as if she is their publicist rather than their creator. The Dumbledore announcement was, admittedly, totally awesome, for the political ramifications at the very least. But Rowling seems insistent on undercutting her authorial intent, or her position as omniscient narrator, the sort of \u201cI would have loved for this to happen\u201d statement, it\u2019s like, really? I was under the impression that you were making all the things happen. (The full article in Wonderland\u2014or the full interview, excerpted at Mugglenet \u2014 is worth a read for its continued, almost amplified strangeness \u2014 Rowling speaks of being shocked to see the filmmakers depicting things she hadn\u2019t written but was feeling about the characters, like the scene between Harry and Hermione in the tent in the first installment of The Deathly Hallows. \u201cYes, but David and Steve \u2014 they felt what I felt when writing it,\u201d Rowling tells Watson, referring to the director and screenwriter. \u201cThat is so strange,\u201d Watson responds. Yes \u2014 this whole thing is so strange. It feels like there\u2019s a simultaneous disregard for the concept of subtext and the idea that the characters were driven by something other than Rowling\u2019s own fingers. \u201cJKR, I think, probably is still in mystical mode when talking about her characters and work,\u201d Connor Joel said to me in a Twitter conversation. \u201cWhich can be OK\u2026sometimes.\u201d)\nIs a writer allowed to have regrets? Certainly. Is she allowed to air them publicly? I mean, yeah, it\u2019s a free internet, why not? Do I want to hear a single additional word about the world of Harry Potter from J. K. Rowling that is not in the form of another book? Unless she is going to travel via Time-Turner to the past and personally validate all of my ships, no, not particularly \u2014 though that\u2019s just me. (On second thought, no, not even that: sometimes the joy of delving into subtext is that it remains, well, sub.) The night all this came out (my new BFF) Anne Jamison kicked off a round of hilarious authorial regrets on Twitter, collected here. (For example: \u201c\u2018I realize I made generations believe instant antipathy is a valid basis for ideal marriage,\u2019 sighed Ms Austen, \u2018I just thought he was hot.\u2019\u201d)\nAll joking aside, these tweets got me thinking: how often has this sort of thing happened in the past? Is there something fundamental in the author/reader relationship that feels like it\u2019s being abused in Rowling\u2019s admissions \u2014 or is she just following a long tradition of regretful writers undermining their own authority via statements after publication? Initial research suggests that some of the most famous writers haven\u2019t stayed as faithful to their own original texts as I might have guessed. I mean, these examples aren\u2019t exactly the same (I can hear you saying this, even now!), and that might get at what feels so incredibly strange about the \u201cwish fulfillment\u201d idea that Rowling\u2019s putting forth. But regrets are regrets, and once the pages are printed \u2014 and even with all the revisions and retractions in the world \u2014 there\u2019s essentially no going back. Here are five authors who had a variety of regrets and later said they really wished they\u2019d done things differently \u2014 and, in many cases, went on to try to actually do things differently, to varying degrees of success:\nOliver Twist\u2019s greedy, villainous employer, Fagin, is most famously marked by his Jewishness, via every derogatory stereotype in the history of man and by outright assertion: references as \u201cthe Jew\u201d outnumber \u201cthe old man\u201d in the original text nearly ten-to-one. There was no doubt in Dickens\u2019s mind, nor that of many of his mid-Victorian counterparts, that this was totally fine, that Fagin\u2019s crimes fell right in line with his background: he stated later, by way of (really poor and blatantly anti-Semitic) defense, that \u201cthat class of criminal almost invariably was a Jew.\u201d But in 1860 Dickens sold his house to a Jewish couple and befriended the wife, Eliza, who wrote him later to say that the creation of Fagin was a \u201cgreat wrong\u201d to the Jewish people. Dickens saw the light, albeit in a sort of, \u201cWell, some of my best friends are Jewish!\u201d sort of way, and began stripping out references to Fagin\u2019s religion from the text, as well as the caricature-like aspects: at a reading of a later version, it was observed that, \u201cThere is no nasal intonation; a bent back but no shoulder-shrug: the conventional attributes are omitted.\u201d But was it too little too late? After all, the original depiction of Fagin has endured through the centuries. Dickens tried, anyway. \u201cThere is nothing but good will left between me and a People for whom I have a real regard,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAnd to whom I would not willfully have given an offence.\u201d\nTypee, Melville\u2019s first novel and the most popular during his lifetime, is described as \u201cone of American culture\u2019s more startling instances of a fluid text.\u201d There appears to be no definitive version of Typee \u2014 the sort of book that makes you question just how definitive anything you read really is. \u201cAll texts are fluid,\u201d writes John Bryant, a scholar who\u2019s done extensive work on Typee, examining its states of flux. \u201cThey only appear to be stable because the accidents of human action, time and economy have conspired to freeze the energy they represent into fixed packets of language.\u201d Some of the changes \u2014 which were made over the course of half a century, from the first drafts Melville penned fresh off the high seas to the final years of his life \u2014 came from pressures from critics and his publishers: disparagement of missionary culture, expanded upon in first drafts, was largely removed in subsequent editions. Some requests for changes, including a toning down of the \u2018bawdiness\u2019 of earlier editions, took place decades later, when Melville was an old man \u2014 \u201cCertain passages were to be restored, a paragraph on seaman debauchery dropped, and \u2018Buggery Island\u2019 changed to \u2018Desolation Island,\u2019\u201d writes Bryant, though not all of these changes were honored in the posthumous edition. Bryant has developed a digital edition to view the fluid text as a whole, though perhaps even that can\u2019t \u2014 and shouldn\u2019t \u2014 answer the question of whether one version or another can be called the definitive text.\nF. Scott Fitzgerald, a man prone to last-minute editorial regrets: he sent a telegram to his publisher as The Great Gatsby was going to press, asking to change the title to Under the Red, White, and Blue. It arrived too late. He\u2019d wavered so much on the title already \u2014 amongst a dozen other suggestions, he\u2019d been set on Trimalchio in West Egg for a good while. But Tender is the Night suffered, in his opinion, from problems far larger than what was printed on the dust jacket. It was published in 1934 to poor critical and public response, and Fitzgerald set to work figuring out why it didn\u2019t work. When it was reprinted two years later, he wanted to make minor changes and clarifications, and wrote that, \u201csometimes by a single word change one can throw a new emphasis or give a new value to the exact same scene or setting.\u201d But he soon decided it wasn\u2019t a \u201csingle word\u201d \u2014 it was the entire structure: \u201cIf pages 151-212 were taken from their present place and put at the start,\u201d he wrote to his editor at Scribner, \u201cthe improvement in appeal would be enormous.\u201d He set to work slicing apart the novel \u2014 physically \u2014 and rearranging it in the order he felt it was now meant to be, the narrative now chronological rather than reliant on flashback. The copy is on display at Princeton, with Fitzgerald\u2019s penciled note written inside the front cover: \u201cThis is the final version of the book as I would like it.\u201d After Fitzgerald\u2019s death, Malcolm Cowley decided to try to fulfill these editorial wishes, rearranging the book based on the notes and cut-up version. But people weren\u2019t any more interested in this version than the first, and in the intervening half-century, the original has endured.\nIf the biggest disappointment of 2015 will be the fact that almost nothing resembles the 2015 bits of \u201cBack to the Future\u201d (what\u2019s sadder \u2014 no hoverboards or no magical pizzas?), it speaks to the risks of setting a sci-fi novel in the not-so-distant future. When Bradbury\u2019s The Martian Chronicles, first published in 1947, were reissued fifty years later, the stories\u2019 chronological start date was just two years away. Bradbury and his publisher made the call to bump up the timeline by three decades, 2030-2057, and made some additional editorial changes while they were at it. The timeline shift isn\u2019t unique in science fiction: Wikipedia\u2019s got a poetically-titled \u201cList of stories set in a future now past,\u201d which reveals that Philip K. Dick\u2019s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep also got a thirty-year bump. It\u2019s an interesting question, and one that may crop up more and more as time goes on: does reading about some sort of alien \u201cfuture\u201d that\u2019s now a few years in the past take a reader right out of the story? Isn\u2019t there some joy in imagining Bradbury imagining 1999 in 1947, a vision of the future from that precise point in the past?\nImage via erokism/Flickr\nAnd then what to do if an author wishes the entire book had never been written? One famous example: \u201cJ.D. Salinger spent 10 years writing The Catcher in the Rye and the rest of his life regretting it,\u201d Shane Salerno and David Shields assert in their recent biography. But Salinger\u2019s dissatisfaction appeared to stem from the extraordinary amount of unwanted attention he received for it over the years. But what about Anthony Burgess, who wrote about A Clockwork Orange in his Flame into Being: The Life and Work of D. H. Lawrence, published in 1985:\nWe all suffer from the popular desire to make the known notorious. The book I am best known for, or only known for, is a novel I am prepared to repudiate: written a quarter of a century ago, a jeu d\u2019esprit knocked off for money in three weeks, it became known as the raw material for a film which seemed to glorify sex and violence. The film made it easy for readers of the book to misunderstand what it was about, and the misunderstanding will pursue me until I die. I should not have written the book because of this danger of misinterpretation, and the same may be said of Lawrence and Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover.\nLawrence died decades before the obscenity trials placed his book at the center of the moral questions of literature and society. Burgess had decades to witness the unraveling of the \u201cmisunderstandings\u201d of the novel he will always be most remembered for. As for its merits as a work of literature? He also described it as \u201ctoo didactic to be artistic.\u201d Ah, well. Everyone is entitled to their opinions of a book and its characters. Even, I suppose, the author himself.\nWordsmith: The Beguiling Gifts of Ali Smith\nI can still remember exactly where I learned certain words. I can recall Salman Rushdie\u2019s repeated use of assiduous in Midnight\u2019s Children. Or looking up pulchritude when I came across it in Zadie Smith\u2019s White Teeth. The first time I read the word fantod was not in Mark Twain, who popularized its usage, but in David Foster Wallace\u2019s Infinite Jest, where it was invariably preceded by the word howling. Tennessee Williams taught me mendacity, and Thomas Pynchon taught me\u2026well, he taught me a lot of words (among them: phalanx, faradic, tessellate, and hysteresis, as well as numerous words in numerous languages). Of course, I had undoubtedly read those words before reading each of the above works, but I had never absorbed them. The usage of the words in these novels and plays didn\u2019t just use the words \u2013\u2013 they exploited the words for all they\u2019re worth. Saleem repeatedly attributes assiduity to his mother Amina in Midnight\u2019s Children. Mendacity is discussed at great length in A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Zadie Smith makes the lovely observation that the ugliness of the word pulchritude doesn\u2019t match its meaning (Wallace, in his posthumous essay collection, Both Flesh and Not, notes that pulchritude is \u201cpart of a tiny elite cadre of words that possess the opposite of the qualities they denote. Diminutive, big, foreign, fancy (adj.), classy, colloquialism, and monosyllabic are some others.\u201d). I now associate these words with their respective authors. Every time I use one of them, it is as if I can feel the presence of my teacher over my shoulder. I am, in those moments, part of a tradition, albeit a small one.\nBut what really excites me are authors who teach me new meanings to banal words. New words can be a joy, inasmuch as they remind me of the sheer vastness of language (not to mention my limited grasp of it), but the reconsideration of a word I already know \u2013\u2013 now that is something. Defamiliarizing language reminds me that everything in language, even definition, is fluid, malleable, and open to inventive use. Shakespeare, obviously, is the easy example here. As Stephen Fry says, Shakespeare \u201cmade a doing-word out of a thing-word every chance he got.\u201d He invented words (eyeballs, amazement, bedazzled) and reclassified others (the verb \u201cto gloom\u201d became \u201cgloomy\u201d). But for me personally, the writer who most tickles my linguistic fancy is Ali Smith, one of the most underappreciated writers working today.\nAli Smith, appropriately enough, is one of the few writers (along with Nabokov, Stoppard, Woolf, Wallace, and Hitchens) who qualify as a \u201cwordsmith.\u201d Her prose, however, isn\u2019t as rich or ornate as some of the other wordsmiths, but no one else can mine ordinary words for such rich, emotional meaning. Let\u2019s just start with some examples. Her latest novel, There But for the, exemplifies her remarkable acumen with quotidian language. Each of the four sections of the novel is named after the words of the title, and they also serve as the first word of the first sentence of each chapter. She mines \u201cthere\u201d for everything it\u2019s got, beginning with the form of a knock-knock joke. Who\u2019s there? takes on new meaning once Anna, one of the protagonists, considers what it means to really be there, as in present. Her friend Denny tells her that he can \u201csum up the last six decades of journalism in six words\u2026I was there. There I was.\u201d Suddenly the idea of thereness persists in her mind as Anna receives word that an old acquaintance has shut himself into a room at a dinner party, and refuses to come out:\nIt was as if the whole outside world was TV soundtrack. Maybe there was a new psychosis, Tennis Players\u2019 Psychosis (TPP), where you went through life believing that an audience was always watching you, profoundly moved by your every move, reacting round your every reaction, your every momentous moment, with joy/excitement/dis-appointment/Schadenfreude. Presumably all professional tennis players had something like it, and maybe so to some extent did everybody who still believed in God. But would this mean that people who didn\u2019t have it were somehow less there in the world, or at least differently there, because they felt themselves less observed?\nThen, when Genevieve, the distraught homeowner, describes to Anna the situation with Miles and the dinner party, Anna suggests that Miles isn\u2019t \u201call there,\u201d to which Genevieve\u2019s precocious daughter replies: \u201cHe is all there\u2026Where else could he be?\u201d When Anna knocks on the door to Miles\u2019s newly adopted home, she asks, \u201cAre you there?\u201d In her memories of Miles, he tells her about a book he\u2019s writing, which begins, \u201cThere was once, and there was only once\u2026Once was all there was,\u201d echoing the beginning of this novel, which begins, \u201cThere once was a man\u2026\u201d and goes on to set-up the dinner party fiasco. There is used, still in this section, in all of its varieties: \u201cIt\u2019s over there,\u201d \u201cThere,\u201d (as in, locating something and as in, There you go), or in the exchange, \u201cWhat exactly is a pun therefore?\u201d which yields the response, \u201cWhat exactly is a pun there for?\u201d The section ends with Anna saying, \u201cI\u2019m here,\u201d dropping one letter from the sections theme, creating a new word with a more intimate meaning.\nIn lesser hands, all this verbal play would strike one as preening and obnoxious. In Ali Smith\u2019s delicate grip, words become emblems of the character\u2019s life. There introduces Anna\u2019s ponderous relationship with the world she\u2019s in, it questions Miles\u2019s sanity, it hints at the fable-like nature of the narrative, and it works as an introduction to the predicament that sets all of this into motion. This kind of gymnastic use of a single word is Smith\u2019s specialty, but instead of simply engaging in verbal pyrotechnics for their own sake (as, say, Barthelme arguably did), Smith wants to understand the dynamic between language and our inner lives. Can you really tell me, for instance, that you\u2019ve never considered a word until its myriad meanings seem to encompass every aspect of your life?\nWell, even if you haven\u2019t, Smith has, and her constant quest for elastic language remains a singular pleasure in her work. In The First Person and Other Stories, she writes three tales named after fictional points of view: the title story and \u201cThe Second Person\u201d and \u201cThe Third Person.\u201d Each one surprises you with what Smith means by the title. In \u201cThe First Person,\u201d a couple\u2019s almost cynical dynamic actually displays their burgeoning love for one another:\nYou\u2019re not the first person I ever had really good talks like this with, I say.\nI know, you say. Been there, done that. You feel very practised.\nThank you, I say. And you won\u2019t be the first person to leave me for someone else or something else.\nWell but we\u2019ve a good while before that, with any luck, you say.\nAnd you\u2019re not the first person to, to, uh, to\u2013\u2013, I say.\nTo stump you? you say. Well. You\u2019re not the first person who was ever wounded by love. You\u2019re not the first person who ever knocked on my door. You\u2019re not the first person I ever chanced my arm with. You\u2019re not the first person I ever tried to impress with my brilliant performance of not really being impressed with anything. You\u2019re not the first person to make me laugh. You\u2019re not the first person I ever made laugh. You\u2019re not the first person full stop. But you\u2019re the one right now. I\u2019m the one right now. We\u2019re the one right now. That\u2019s enough, yes?\nYou\u2019re not the first person to make a speech like that at me, I say.\nThen we\u2019re both laughing hard again in each other\u2019s new arms.\nWhat a wonderful passage, how honest in so many ways. Smith shows here how, like language, we can embody multiple meanings, in this case the honest cynicism of relationships, that we\u2019ve been through the dance before and that, in many ways, many of our emotional rituals are recycled and should thus lose power, but how despite all those logical thoughts, we feel love anyway. We feel new with a new love, even though we\u2019ve felt new before, even though we\u2019ve laughed in another\u2019s arms. Those thoughts don\u2019t matter, even though we\u2019re completely aware of them. We fall in love nonetheless. As if we never had before.\nI\u2019d like to ask a question here that Ann Patchett asked of Edith Pearlman: why isn\u2019t Ali Smith famous? Sure, her books have won numerous awards, but so have Pearlman\u2019s, and though her books are almost unanimously well acclaimed, she seems to only be known by writers. This kind of reputation usually draws the phrase writer\u2019s writer, but Smith, as I have argued, moves beyond mere linguistic innovation. Her books are soulful explorations of what it means to live inside our minds, with all the bouncy, circuitous thoughts that live in there with us. More than that, she is so immensely readable, her prose moves like the conversation of a witty friend. Accessible, playful and rich with insight, Smith has few peers. So: why isn\u2019t she famous?\nOne answer might be Smith\u2019s tendency to beguile, not just in her books, but also in her career. She rarely sits down for an interview, does zero press for her books and consistently creates narratives with strange premises: a man refuses to leave a dinner party, a stranger upends a family when she appears at their home one night, a woman finds a child at a grocery store and can\u2019t rid herself of him. These are not the sorts of tales that ordinarily top the bestseller charts. Yet, would anyone expect George Saunders\u2019s books to sell well? Or, for that matter, Stephen King\u2019s? Most recently, Smith produced a book that defies categorization. Artful is, to me, one of the best and most unique works of literary criticism published in the last decade, yet it received minimal coverage, as if the reading world (in America, at least) responded to a new book from Smith with nonchalance: \u201cOh, that woman made another strange book.\u201d\nSidestepping any conventional approach to analysis, Smith instead tells the fictional story of a woman who has lost her partner of many years. Her dead lover wrote a series of lectures on art and literature, thus the criticism done here is filtered through the point of view of a non-literary person who remembers her partner\u2019s work. A sense of mourning enters into the book, also of longing, of heartbreak, of love. Here\u2019s an example of the interplay between the emotional and the academic modes of Artful:\nThere, I thought. I\u2019m okay. I\u2019ve moved a really heavy chair. I\u2019ve changed things. And I\u2019ve read sixteen lines in a novel and I\u2019ve thought several things about them and none of this with you, or to do with you; I even read the phrase \u2018item of mortality\u2019 and thought of something other than you. Time heals all wounds. Or, as you used to say, time achilles-heels all wounds. Then you would tell the story of Achille\u2019s mother dipping him in the protective river, holding him by the heel between her finger and thumb; that\u2019s why the heel got missed out, didn\u2019t get protected. Which, you said, when it came to story, was what suspense meant. And from then on all time\u2019s arrows pointed at that unprotected heel.\nIn this single passage, the narrator moves from personal reflection to broad insight and recollected literary analysis. What makes the choice of form here so wonderful is the way it reflects, to me, one\u2019s relationship with literature. Our brains (and, to be sure, our hearts) don\u2019t usually work like academic papers do \u2013\u2013 we can\u2019t cite the exact quotation or prove our thesis at the drop of a hat. Instead, we recall the novels and stories and poems we\u2019ve read and conjure a feeling or sensation we got when we first read them. Literature is a part of our unconscious life, just like past lovers, long-ago travels, and instances of pain and suffering and joy and hope. It is all mashed up into a messy medley of personal selfhood. Artful\u2019s narrator, then, becomes not just a tool for Smith\u2019s criticism but also a stand-in for the bridge between art and our selves. Art becomes a part of us yet exists independent from us, just like the people we love.\nArtful, though, engages in the academic approach as well, with Smith once again extracting as much as she can from single words. As the narrator rereads Oliver Twist, she remarks on the repeated use of the word \u2018green,\u2019 which is one of the first things the Artful Dodger (from whose name the book takes its title) says to Oliver when he meets him. In this same scene, Dodger asks Oliver about \u2018beaks,\u2019 which Oliver takes to mean \u201ca bird\u2019s mouth.\u201d Dodger tells him that a beak is a magistrate, about which our narrator writes:\nIt\u2019s like literality meeting a metaphor, I thought. Or \u2013\u2013 no \u2013\u2013 it\u2019s like a real apple meeting a Cezanne apple. It\u2019s as if Dodger speaks another language altogether; and it\u2019s as if Oliver has to understand that a beak can be more than one thing, and a mill, and all the words that come in the paragraph after too, a stone jug, a magpie. Everything can be more than itself. Everything IS more than itself.\nUnderneath Smith\u2019s wordplay lies philosophical positivism \u2013\u2013 like words, we all contain multitudes; we can be one thing and its opposite, or, like Smith writes of the Artful Dodger, whom Dickens refers to by various names, we are all \u201ca work of shifting possibility.\u201d\nIn a rare interview for a newspaper in Cambridge, where she lives, Smith had this to say about the instinctual connections you must make in order to allow a story to move where it wants to go:\nIf you write something, you look at it, and maybe the word \u2018green\u2019 will turn up in four places in one paragraph, so then you think \u2018what does green mean?\u2019 It means immaturity, it means spring, it means newness, it means naivety. Then you look in those directions to see what the words wanted you to do.\nAnd there is a connection, just like she says. The word green appears again. Appears in Oliver Twist and in an interview with Smith. What, taking from Smith, are we to do with this? It would be easy to guess that Smith was probably working on Artful at the time of the interview (the piece focused on There But for the, Smith\u2019s book directly before Artful), but I\u2019d like to think that it\u2019s more than that. I\u2019m going to settle on newness, because whenever I think of Smith, new is a word that pops into my head. I wonder what she\u2019d do with it.\nSee what the words wanted you to do, she says. Smith follows words around like a detective, noting every street they walk down and every activity they engage in. She waits patiently for the telling moment, the odd behavior, and there (ahem) she finds its purpose, and the story seems to come along with it.\nImage Credit: Flickr/darwinbell\nAnnals of Japery, Notable Articles\nRead Me!

What\u2019s certain is that under the sign of Libra, the reading public will be gifted that rarest literary treasure, a book of such dazzling breadth and scope that it defies any label short of masterpiece.\nEleanor Catton\u2019s skill was evident in her deft debut, The Rehearsal. The Rehearsal opened a disturbing window onto manipulative adults and adolescents snaking around each other in a music school. In addition to an uncomfortable set of relationships, the disturbance was fueled by lack of names, major characters, and place.\nNow comes Catton\u2019s The Luminaries, firmly rooted in both the history of Catton\u2019s native New Zealand and in the literature of the Victorian era. A graduate of the Iowa Writer\u2019s Workshop, Catton lives in Auckland. If The Rehearsal was an edgy and inventive debut, The Luminaries is a virtuoso performance. Published at the tender age of twenty-eight, Catton\u2019s second novel tips its hat to Moby Dick\u2019s singular language and Leviathan obsession; Charles Dickens\u2019s sprawling, baggy investigations of ordinary, flawed humanity; George Eliott\u2019s timeless moral inquiries; and the twentieth century romances of A.S. Byatt\u2019s Possession and Peter Carey\u2019s Oscar and Lucinda. The Luminaries is resplendent: a twenty first century Victorian novel that couldn\u2019t be more original.\nThe novel drops us into the Otago region of New Zealand\u2019s South Island, where a nineteenth century gold rush succeeded California\u2019s by about twenty years. In 1866, twelve men congregate in the smoking room of Hokitika\u2019s Crown Hotel, giving \u201cthe impression of a party accidentally met.\u201d The party includes a collection of Chinese, Maori, Jewish, French, and local characters, from a banker to a chaplain to an opium dealer to a whoremonger. \u201cEveryone\u2019s from somewhere else,\u201d the shipping agent comments. It transpires that they all share a common interest in Anna Wetherell, \u201cthe whore,\u201d and in recapturing a fortune in gold discovered and then lost in the cabin of a recently deceased (murdered?) man.\nEnter the thirteenth man, Walter Moody, just off the boat from England. In a literary sleight of hand, Moody plays audience for the story\u2019s setup (more on that to come) and subsequently participates in the unfolding plot.\nThe organizing principle for The Luminaries is the Zodiac. \u201cLuminaries\u201d is astrology speak for the brightest and most important objects in the sky: the sun and the moon. Put simplistically, the greater and lesser light of the sun and moon represent the twin poles of man and woman and their array of accompanying characteristics. Each of the many characters is assigned an astrological identity that cycles through the novel. The major sections of the book begin with an illustrated chart of the Zodiac, including symbols and positioning. In an interpretive hint in the prologue, we are told that the novel takes place during a time of precession, when \u201cthe motion of the vernal equinox has come to shift.\u201d The author dares us to conjecture that time in this novel is \u201cPiscean in its quality\u2026an age of mirrors, tenacity, instinct, twinship, and hidden things.\u201d It would be reasonable to focus a review of The Luminaries exclusively on these five Piscean themes; they would surely provide enough material for a Ph.D. dissertation.\nIn common with any respectable Victorian, Catton doesn\u2019t hesitate to interrupt herself with explication and expansive moral judgments. Of Walter Moody she writes, \u201clike most excessively beautiful persons, he had studied his own reflection minutely and, in a way, knew himself from the outside best.\u201d Or, the banker, who \u201cspoke with the controlled alarm of a bureaucrat who is requested to explain some mundane feature of the bureaucracy of which he is a functioning part: controlled, because an official is always comforted by proof of his own expertise, and alarmed, because the necessity for explanation seemed, in some obscure way, to undermine the system which had afforded him that expertise in the first place.\u201d\nCatton waxes lyrical in her physical descriptions. Here\u2019s Anna Wetherell, the whore: \u201cHer complexion was translucent, even blue, and tended to a deep purple beneath her eyes \u2014 as if she had been painted in watercolor, on a paper that was not stiff enough to hold the moisture, so the colors ran\u2026Her nose was narrow, even geometric: a sculptor might render it in four strokes, with one slice on either side, one down the bridge, and one tuck beneath.\u201d\nBut the genius of The Luminaries resides in its structure. The novel generates an unusual and unique rhythm. The setup occurs over a sprawling three-hundred-sixty pages. Technically it\u2019s closer to three-hundred-forty; the remaining twenty consolidate and summarize the previous book-length introduction. By this point, the reader is luxuriating in a state of agreeable confusion, curious and eager to read on. The twenty pages of summary are useful, but they could never substitute for such a grand exposition.\nChapter titles reference the Zodiac and are followed by short, italicized summations. For example, \u201cIn which the chemist goes in search of opium; we meet Anna Wetherell at last; Pritchard becomes inpatient; and two shots are fired.\u201d Homage, perhaps, to Oliver Twist and its ilk. As secrets are revealed and contradictions unmasked, the book picks up speed with shorter chapters, more truncated sections, and longer and longer \u201cin which\u201d introductions that finally substitute for text and plot. Part One may be the length of most novels, but Part Twelve takes a mere two pages. No doubt astrological numerology would offer further insight into how those twelve parts relate to the twelve characters seated in the Crown Hotel\u2019s smoking room at the outset, who in turn reflect the twelve signs of the Zodiac.\nThe novel\u2019s pace accelerates with snowballing revelations of hypocrisy, exploitation, mendacity, revenge, and cruelty; all sprinkled with a healthy dose of coincidence. Even the cleverest literary sleuth may fail to solve the whole puzzle until the end. This is the stuff of life in all its unpredictability: mistaken assumptions; arrogant presumption; substance over surface; truth and consequences; and, ultimately, good versus evil.\nSteeped in history, The Luminaries feels completely fresh. Contemporary American writers increasingly decline the sweeping range and flow of the past tense. The resulting language compacts into ever-shrinking pages, serving up clipped sentences written in present tense. By contrast, The Luminaries takes its leisurely time roaming the past tense, developing an intricate and complex plot.\nCatton\u2019s nineteenth century style feels brand new.\nFrom whence has Catton sprung? Unfortunately, precious few New Zealand writers reach American shores. Perhaps Katherine Mansfield is best known to U.S. readers, along with Janet Frame, whose eerie, haunting novels unfurl a psychologically troubled personal history. Catton\u2019s contemporary, Fiona Farrell, recently set a novel in Victorian times: Mr. Allbones\u2019 Ferrets: An Historical Pastoral Satirical Scientifical Romance, with Mustelids. In Mr. Allbones, Farrell explores the burgeoning scientific understanding of evolution in the time of Charles Darwin, while Kiwi writer Emily Perkins uses nature differently in The Forrests \u2014 to examine a contemporary family in dissolution.\nBut Catton\u2019s talent is too capacious to be confined to place. Deeply entrenched in New Zealand\u2019s South Island, The Luminaries makes clear that this author commands the world at her fingertips. Her literary ancestry derives less from her homeland and more from the British and American giants of the nineteenth century. Catton deserves their company. Nodding to Melville, she\u2019s nailed the tormented sea captain and the revenge obsessed \u201cChinaman.\u201d With so many characters taking on false identities and trying to out-cheat each other in New Zealand\u2019s gold rush, Catton, too, has mined the seamy underside of greed and poverty so beloved by Dickens. Like George Eliot, Catton looks behind the stereotype of the whore and the opium dealer and forces us to question where the real morality lies. By the novel\u2019s end, every character\u2019s initial presentation has been destabilized. Reader, Catton instructs, don\u2019t judge a book by its cover.\nCatton deploys daunting technique, yes. She\u2019s spun a solar system into orbit \u2014 the planets, the stars, and the sun and the moon. But more importantly, she\u2019s persuaded readers to invest emotionally in each foibled, flawed, lying character right through to page eight-hundred-thirty. The love story is simply an added pleasure.\nAll that, and Eleanor Catton is still on the nearside of thirty. Small wonder that The Luminaries has been nominated for the Booker Prize. No matter the outcome, the literary firmament has birthed a new star.\nDickens\u2019s Best Novel? Six Experts Share Their Opinions\nWhat was Charles Dickens\u2019s best novel? It depends whom you ask of course. G.K. Chesterton thought Bleak House represented the mature peak of Dickens\u2019s skill as a novelist, although he went on to remark, \u201cWe can say more or less when a human being has come to his full mental growth, even if we go so far as to wish that he had never come to it.\u201d This past February, on the occasion of Dickens\u2019s 200th birthday, The Guardian put together this mesmerizing chart ranking 12 of Dickens\u2019s 16 novels on a scale of most to least Dickensian. Bleak House came out first, Great Expectations was last, yet those two titles occupied the top two spots when Time issued its own Top-10 Dickens List for the Dickens bicentennial.\nSearching for clarity, I decided to pose the question to a handful of leading Victorianists. In June, I sent out emails to select scholars asking them if they\u2019d be interested in choosing a novel and making their case. I noted that of course there is no such thing as a singular best, and that really the exercise was meant to be fun. Just about everyone I reached out to was game. And, in recognition of how obsessive many Victorianists are about Dickens, one added that after debating his best novel, perhaps I\u2019d be interested in curating a more esoteric discussion: Best Dickens character for a one night stand, or maybe which Dickens character you\u2019d most like to have as your own child.\nSaving those conversations for another day, here then are six impassioned, knowledgeable opinions on the topic of the best Dickens novel. I hope you\u2019ll enjoy reading them, and that when you\u2019re through, you\u2019ll share your own views in the comments section.\nKelly Hager, Associate Professor of English and Women\u2019s and Gender Studies, Simmons College\n\u201cNot to put too fine a point upon it,\u201d as meek Mr. Snagsby is wont to say, Dickens\u2019s best novel is Bleak House. It might not be everyone\u2019s favorite (that honor might go to Dickens\u2019s own \u201cfavourite child,\u201d David Copperfield, or to the newly-relevant tale of a Victorian Bernie Madoff, Little Dorrit, or to that classic of 10th grade English, Great Expectations), but Bleak House is absolutely his best: in terms of plot, characters, pacing, social relevance, readability, and its possibilities for adaptation, just to cite some of its virtues.\nThe BBC\u2019s 2005 version brought to the fore the pathos of the heroine Esther Summerson\u2019s plight and the hypocrisy of the world that produced that plight. Brought up by a guardian (actually her aunt) who led her sister to believe that her (illegitimate) baby was born dead, Esther does not learn who her mother is, or even that she is alive, until she has been so disfigured by smallpox that she no longer poses the danger of incriminating her (now married and ennobled) mother by their resemblance. The scene of their first (and only) meeting is heart-rending but not maudlin, revealing just how far Dickens has moved beyond the sentimental portrayal of Little Nell\u2019s deathbed (in The Old Curiosity Shop) and his precious depiction of the orphaned Oliver Twist. The emotions the scene calls up are honest, earned, poignant.\nSimilarly, the anger John Jarndyce feels at the Chancery suit that occupies the novel is not the self-righteous ire of those who uncover the educational abuses of Dotheboys Hall (in Nicholas Nickleby) or rail against the inequities of the law of divorce (in Hard Times), but the heartfelt anguish of a man who has seen friends and relatives destroyed by the red tape and bureaucracy of the Court of Chancery (a court that relies not on common law statutes but solely on precedents and was abolished in 1875). Dickens mounts a comparable attack on the aptly named Circumlocution Office in Little Dorrit, where the important thing is to learn \u201chow not to do it,\u201d but there, the depiction is comic. He does the more difficult and subtle thing in Bleak House, relying not on humor but on sad case after sad case to reveal the evils of the system. He writes with empathy; he doesn\u2019t poke easy fun. In Bleak House, written between two national epidemics of cholera, in 1849 and 1854, Dickens also draws attention to the need for sanitary reform (specifically for a regulated, clean supply of water for the public); Bleak House is, in fact, one of the earliest fictional engagements with the field of public health.\nEngaged in social issues, moving, and full of characters we love (the unflappable army wife, Mrs. Bagnet; Jo, the crossing sweeper; Sir Leicester, Lady Dedlock\u2019s loyal husband) and characters we love to hate (the selfish parents Mrs. Jellyby and Mr. Turveydrop; Vholes, the vampiric solicitor), Bleak House is Dickens at his very best.\nAnna Henchman, Assistant Professor of English, Boston University, and author of The Starry Sky Within: Astronomy and the Reach of the Mind in Victorian Literature\nBleak House begins in sooty obscurity: swirls of fog, snowflakes black with grime, indistinguishable masses. Movement is circular \u2014 \u201cslipping and sliding,\u201d \u2014 without progress. The laws of this world are quickly established: There is rigid separation between classes. Characters are moving parts in a system that consumes them. Separate realms coexist with little contact with one another.\nBut then the novel explodes when gauche Mr. Guppy presumes to call on the cold Lady Dedlock. She agrees to see him, and even more strangely, betrays in his presence a quivering vulnerability, a longing to know that echoes our own perplexity as readers of this novel. \u201cWhat connexion can there be between the place in Lincolnshire, the house in town, the Mercury with the powder, and the whereabout of Jo the outlaw with the broom\u2026?\u201d After Mr. Guppy\u2019s visit, a new sequence of events unfolds, and Lady Dedlock\u2019s life rearranges itself before our eyes. Later, on the open grass, another extraordinary meeting brings us even more closely into her consciousness.\nLike us, Mr. Guppy has been playing detective, putting together the pieces of the book, and at this point he\u2019s doing it better than we are. Bleak House is a novel full of detectives with whom we sit in uneasy intimacy because their inquisitive state of mind mirrors our own.Their \u201ccalling is the acquisition of secrets.\u201d\nTwo distinct narrators take us through this increasingly comprehensible world. The omniscient narrator can enter anywhere, taking us from foggy London to Lincolnshire. He floats through walls, moving from the airless chambers of one house in town to the greasy interior of another that stinks of burnt flesh. Esther, by contrast, is a timid outsider, for whom everything is new and strange. Some of the greatest effects of the novel occur when Esther takes us through spaces we\u2019ve visited many times and thought we knew. Right after Esther talks with Lady Dedlock, for instance, she walks through the fragrant gardens of Chesney Wold. \u201cGrostesque monsters bristle\u201d as she thinks about the lives they lead inside, and for the first time we feel attached to the stately home.\nThe great pleasure of this novel is the pleasure of plot \u2014 of retroactively putting events into sequence. Like detectives, novelists construct patterns out of disparate fragments. This novel more than any other Dickens novel feels both ordered and dynamic. Characters who flash past us \u2014 a man from Shropshire, a crossing sweeper \u2014 resolve into detail, acquire names, and fill out in time and space. As the lines between networks of characters thicken, the world gets smaller, more recognizable, but also more dangerous for the ones we love most.\nMaia McAleavey, Assistant Professor of English, Boston College\n\u201cOf course I was in love with little Em\u2019ly,\u201d David Copperfield assures the reader of his childhood love. \u201cI am sure I loved that baby quite as truly, quite as tenderly, with greater purity and more disinterestedness, than can enter into the best love of a later time of life.\u201d Loving a person or a book (and \u201cDavid Copperfield\u201d conveniently appears to be both) may have nothing at all to do with bestness. The kind of judicious weighing that superlative requires lies quite apart from the easy way the reader falls in love with David Copperfield.\nTo my mind, David is far more loveable than Pip (Great Expectations\u2019 fictional autobiographer), and better realized than Esther (Bleak House\u2019s partial narrator). And it does help to have a first-person guide on Dickens\u2019s exuberantly sprawling journeys. David, like Dickens, is a writer, and steers the reader through the novel as an unearthly blend of character, narrator, and author. This is not always a comforting effect. \u201cWhether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show,\u201d David announces in his unsettling opening sentence.\nHere he is, at once a young man thoroughly soused after a night of boozing and a comically estranging narrative voice: \u201cOwing to some confusion in the dark, the door was gone. I was feeling for it in the window-curtains\u2026We went down-stairs, one behind another. Near the bottom, somebody fell, and rolled down. Somebody else said it was Copperfield. I was angry at that false report, until, finding myself on my back in the passage, I began to think there might be some foundation for it.\u201d\nIs the novel nostalgic, sexist, and long? Yes, yes, and yes. But in its pages, Dickens also frames each of these qualities as problems. He meditates on the production, reproduction, and preservation of memories; he surrounds his typically perfect female characters, the child-bride Dora and the Angel-in-the-House Agnes, with the indomitable matriarch Betsey Trotwood and the sexlessly maternal nurse Peggotty; and he lampoons the melodramatically longwinded Micawber while devising thousands of ways to keep the reader hooked. If you haven\u2019t yet found your Dickensian first love, David\u2019s your man.\nLeah Price, Professor of English, Harvard University\n\u201cOf all my books,\u201d confessed Dickens in the preface, \u201cI like this the best. It will be easily believed that I am a fond parent to every child of my fancy, and that no one can ever love that family as dearly as I love them. But, like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child. And his name is DAVID COPPERFIELD.\u201d\nDavid Copperfield fits the bill for a \u201cbest of\u201d contest because it\u2019s all about who\u2019s first, who\u2019s favorite, who\u2019s primary. It\u2019s one of Dickens\u2019s few novels to be narrated entirely in the first person; it\u2019s the only one whose narrator\u2019s initials reverse Charles Dickens\u2019s, and whose plot resembles the story that Dickens told friends about his own family and his own career. (But Dickens takes the novelist\u2019s privilege of improving on the facts, notably by killing off David\u2019s father before the novel opens in order to prevent him from racking up as many debts as Dickens senior did over the course of his inconveniently long life.)\nThat means that it\u2019s also one of the few Dickens novels dominated by one character\u2019s story and one character\u2019s voice (This stands in contrast to Bleak House, say, which shuttles back and forth between two alternating narrators, one first-person and past-tense, the other third-person and couched in the present). As a result David Copperfield is less structurally complex, but also more concentrated, with an intensity of focus that can sometimes feel claustrophobic or monomaniacal but never loses its grip on a reader\u2019s brain and heart. Its single-mindedness makes it more readable than a novel like Pickwick Papers, where the title character is little more than a human clothesline on which a welter of equally vivid minor characters are hung. Yet at the same time, it\u2019s a novel about how hard it is to be first: Can you come first in your mother\u2019s heart after she marries a wicked stepfather? And can your own second wife come first for you after her predecessor dies?\nOn David\u2019s birthday, he tells us, \u201cI went into the bar of a public-house, and said to the landlord: \u2018What is your best \u2014 your very best \u2014 ale a glass?\u2019 \u2018Twopence-halfpenny,\u2019 says the landlord, \u2018is the price of the Genuine Stunning ale.'\u201d David Copperfield is the genuine stunning: there\u2019s nothing quite like it, in Dickens\u2019s work or out.\n5. Little Dorrit\nDeb Gettelman, Assistant Professor of English, College of the Holy Cross\nThere\u2019s a different best Dickens novel for every purpose. Even though Dickens\u2019s peculiar characters with their tic phrases sometimes appear interchangeable, his novels as a whole are surprisingly different from each other in their focus of interest, narrative structure, and in some cases, length. The best Dickens novel to read? Bleak House. To teach? Oliver Twist. To boast that I\u2019ve read? Martin Chuzzlewit (really, I have). To understand Dickens\u2019s consciousness as a writer? Little Dorrit.\nI\u2019d like to think a writer\u2019s best novel is the one that, if it had never been written, would cause the greatest difference in how much we think we understand about that writer\u2019s overall work. It might be predictable, but for me the later, darker, reflective books often suit this purpose best: Persuasion, Villette, The Wings of the Dove. For Dickens\u2019s readers it is Little Dorrit, his deeply personal novel of middle age that reveals the author\u2019s consciousness as an artist at its most mature, reflective, and darkest stage\nLittle Dorrit is Dickens\u2019s moodiest novel, and comparatively little happens in it. There are the usual plot complications \u2014 and what Dickens called the novel\u2019s \u201cvarious threads\u201d often seem to hang together by a thread \u2014 but at its heart is the stasis of a debtor\u2019s prison, where Amy, or Little Dorrit, has grown up tending to her self-deluding father. The novel\u2019s many psychologically imprisoned characters mostly sit around brooding about their thwarted lives, especially the hero, Arthur Clennam, who is older and more anguished than Dickens\u2019s other heroes and heroines. Elements familiar from Dickens\u2019s other novels \u2014 satiric portrayals of bureaucrats and aristocrats, the self-sacrificing young woman, even a murderous Frenchman \u2014 seem more sinister in this novel because they are the cause of so much melancholy.\nAt one point Dickens summarizes Clennam\u2019s thoughts in a way that seems emblematic of the novel: \u201cLittle Dorrit, Little Dorrit. Again, for hours. Always Little Dorrit!\u201d As Lionel Trilling observed, Little Dorrit is the most interiorized of Dickens\u2019s novels. Shortly after writing it Dickens made a spectacle of breaking up his family, and characters in the novel torture, contort, misrepresent, and stifle one another\u2019s feelings in spectacularly awful ways. In a game of word association, \u2018Dickens\u2019 would readily call to mind words like \u2018comedy,\u2019 \u2018caricature,\u2019 and \u2018satire.\u2019 \u2018Little Dorrit\u2019 would yield \u2018interiority,\u2019 \u2018psychological depth,\u2019 \u2018angst,\u2019 and all the inventive strategies Dickens uses to achieve these qualities. It enables us to see the fullest possible psychological and artistic spectrum of his work.\n6. Our Mutual Friend\nDaniel Pollack-Pelzner, Assistant Professor of English, Linfield College\nOur Mutual Friend was my Dickens gateway drug. The opening sequence plays like a Scorsese tracking shot on steroids. A body fished out of the Thames becomes gossip at a nouveau riche banquet, from which two lawyers slip out to a dockside police station, where they meet a mysterious man who runs off to take lodgings with a clerk, whose daughter becomes the ward of a dustman, who hires a peg-legged balladeer to read him The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. And I haven\u2019t even mentioned the taxidermist.\nIt\u2019s the Facebook fantasy: everyone is connected \u2014 though in the darkly satiric world of late Dickens, this is less an accomplishment than an indictment. The surprise comes from how much fun it is to navigate his corrupt social network. Conventional wisdom asks you to choose Dickens savory or sweet: the ineluctable fog of Bleak House or the bibulous conviviality of The Pickwick Papers. Our Mutual Friend, his last completed novel, gives you both an intricate web of plots and a cast of delightfully scurrilous plotters.\nIts particular tickle comes from the recognition that everyone\u2019s an impostor, and a gleeful one at that. People who dismiss Dickensian eccentrics as fanciful caricatures miss how much the fancies are the characters\u2019 own insistent projections. As the narrator says of the self-important balladeer: \u201cHis gravity was unusual, portentous, and immeasurable, not because he admitted any doubt of himself, but because he perceived it necessary to forestall any doubt of himself in others.\u201d The self we perform is the self we become.\nAnd everyone\u2019s performing in Our Mutual Friend. A lawyer pretends to be a lime merchant for an undercover job in pub, and after the sleuthing concludes, he\u2019s so enamored of the role that he offers the potboy a job in his fictional \u201clime-kiln.\u201d When the orphan Sloppy reads the newspaper, \u201che do the police in different voices\u201d \u2014 a line that T.S. Eliot pinched as his working title for the The Waste Land.\nThis literary legacy, along with the novel\u2019s sustained imagery, have led some critics to call it proto-modernist. Dickens shows us as well that the insights we call post-modern (personality as performance, fiction as artifice) have Victorian roots. The creators of The Wire declared their debt to the 19th-century master of serial narration, and it\u2019s no surprise that a season finale of Lost revolved around a copy of Our Mutual Friend. This is the book you want on a desert island.\nThinking of a Dream I Had: The \u201cFormative Novel\u201d\nAndrew Saikali | 7\nSo, it\u2019s the early hours of the morning and I\u2019m fast asleep. I dream the following:I\u2019m in an empty restaurant, deep in conversation with someone I\u2019d never met before. Even in the dream, this person is meant to be a stranger \u2013 a Millions reader named Oliver. (I had recently watched a new BBC version of Oliver Twist, though the person in my dream was in no way urchinlike).He is relating to me the fascinating and sordid details of his life. After a pause, I proclaim to Oliver that I know what his \u201cformative novel\u201d would be: The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. Though I\u2019ve never actually heard the phrase \u201cformative novel\u201d before, I seemed to imply a novel whose spirit and tone most closely impacted the life that dream-Oliver would go on to lead. Not so much the plot of the novel, and not the author\u2019s autobiography. I was apparently matching up the tone of the book with the tone of the reader\u2019s subsequent life.I then went on to tell Oliver that my Millions colleague Garth\u2019s \u201cformative novel\u201d would be David Foster Wallace\u2019s Infinite Jest. (I don\u2019t know this to be true. I suspect that Garth\u2019s passionate appreciation of David Foster Wallace planted the notion in my head several months ago. Nevertheless, dream-Garth\u2019s \u201cformative novel\u201d was Infinite Jest).Oliver then asks me what my \u201cformative novel\u201d would be. I contemplate for a moment and then respond: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. This is a curious choice as I hadn\u2019t read it until about five years ago, when I was already well into my 30s. Still, the accessibly off-kilter humor of the novel does seem a good fit. Had I read it at an impressionable age, I suspect that it would qualify as a close match for the tone of my subsequent adult personality.The dream then took an odd turn. I was lying on my back on the sidewalk, still in conversation with Oliver, as a pack of schoolchildren and their teacher hurdled over me, never once looking down or stepping on me.Oliver then morphed into Jack Lemmon, circa The Apartment, and I jolted awake, and reached for a notebook and pen.So: what would your \u201cformative novel\u201d be? This requires not just a reading of the novel, but a certain amount of self-awareness. Try to match the tone of the novel with the tone of your life or of your personality. I guess it doesn\u2019t matter when you read it. It\u2019s fine if you read it later in life and retroactively match it up with your life. And, Garth, feel free to set the record straight.",

What area of space would be required to keep it in orbit above a city?\nMore mega projects from the Chinese, although it sounds like the CCP don't fully trust their drivers.\nThe world\u2019s longest sea bridge, connecting Hong Kong and Macau to the Chinese mainland has been officially opened, in a ceremony in Zhuhai attended by Chinese president Xi Jinping and Hong Kong\u2019s chief executive, Carrie Lam.\nIn a short address Xi declared the bridge open, as digital fireworks exploded on a screen behind him. The bridge will open to traffic on Wednesday.\nAs well as being the longest bridge of its type, stretching 55km, the $20bn Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge is also one of the world\u2019s most unusual roadways, with cameras to detect yawning, drivers forced to wear heart monitors and access restricted to the political elite and charity donors.....\nReal Estate Market Braces for Winter\nhttps://www.caixinglobal.com/2018-10-22 ... 37741.html\nhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/id ... dden_camps\nWhat's happened to the vanished Uighurs of Xinjiang?\nChina is accused of locking up hundreds of thousands of Muslims without trial in its western region of Xinjiang\nFifth of China's Housing Is Empty. That's 50 Million Homes\nChinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s mantra that homes should be for living in is falling on deaf ears, with tens of millions of apartments and houses standing empty across the country.\nThe nightmare scenario for policy makers is that owners of unoccupied dwellings rush to sell if cracks start appearing in the property market, causing prices to spiral. The latest data, from a survey in 2017, also suggests Beijing\u2019s efforts to curb property speculation -- considered by leaders a key threat to financial and social stability -- are coming up short.\n\u201cThere\u2019s no other single country with such a high vacancy rate,\u201d said Gan, of Chengdu\u2019s Southwestern University of Finance and Economics. \u201cShould any crack emerge in the property market, the homes to be offloaded will hit China like a flood.\u201d\nhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-08/a-fifth-of-china-s-homes-are-empty-that-s-50-million-apartments\nFurthermore, given they enacted a one-child policy for decades, future demand may actually shrink, rather than grow.\nI suppose on the plus side, this extreme over-supply will ensure some very cheap accommodation and cost of living for a long time to come.\nI doubt it, there's a youtube video about the way Chinese people don't believe in maintenance at all, plus the fact that much of this property is very poorly built.\nThis probably means that much of it will be uninhabitable within ten years.\nTreadmill to Hell or Highway to Heaven?\nEconomicCrashDummy\nIt's uninhabitable right now. These guys do some really good videos on China. If you are at all interested in China it's worth watching a few. This one is very good.\nYeah!

        "raw_content": "Artists you need to know: Electronic Dance Music\nWelcome to Part I of The Weekly Show\u2019s Artists You Need to Know! In this segment I will feature music by highly talented, often little-known artists from a sampling of genres. The goal is to provide you all with some great music while giving these artists the exposure they deserve. As always, please like, share, and subscribe if you enjoy these posts, and feel free to leave artists you like in the comments section below! This week\u2019s genre is Electronic Dance Music.\nA concert to remember.\nElectronic dance music: isn\u2019t that them newfangled computer sounds?\nToday dance giants such as David Guetta and Avicii dominate the charts, but electronic dance music (EDM) has come a long way since its inception. From obscure beginnings in regional nightclubs and raves in the 1970s, synthesized music broke into mainstream culture around the turn of the century. While most EDM builds off of traditional scale patterns and chords, more unconventional tones and pitches (think drops and screeches) remain rather polarizing among listeners. If you are unfamiliar with the genre, give it a listen and see what you think! Leave your thoughts in the comments section below!\n4. KapSlap\nCurrently a senior at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, KapSlap\u2019s name is quickly spreading across college campuses. He is popular for his remixes and mashups, and he plans to release his first album after he graduates. I find his music great for the gym or going on long runs. You can download many of his songs for free on his SoundCloud page.\nTagged culture, Dance, deadmau5, EDM, Electronic, Entertainment, Interests, Lists, Media, music, Opinion, Skrillex, song\nFans of The Weekly Show have mentioned that videos are often the most interesting part of a post. In light of this, here are three videos I recorded last week. These are songs I have been working on for a few months now. Enjoy!\nHere\u2019s to a little night music.\nThis song probably does not need an introduction. The hardest part was definitely figuring out how to accentuate the verses while maintaining the noticeable parts of the melody and bass, hence the frequent crossovers.\nTagged Entertainment, Interests, music, Piano, Pokemon, song, sound, Video",

        "raw_content": "Posted on May 28, 2016 August 3, 2017 by nickthepilot\nTLDR: Skip to the end of the article for the album of images and youtube video.\nThe trip started off with a few of the guys flying in early, and then the wives started showing up from the USA too \u2013 this was going to be a big group trip. All in there were 8 of us and the first stop on this adventure wasn\u2019t even out of Kuwait. The night before we all flew out we decided to indulge a bit \u2013 and some of the guys had their wives fly in early so they could show them around Kuwait where we\u2019d all been living and working for the past year \u2013 so we went to the Al Boom Restaurant. The Al Boom is a seafood and steak restaurant attached to the Radisson Blu and inside of a, now permanently, grounded ship. It\u2019s a very unique dining experience with great food. The ship itself is a recreation of the traditional sailing vessels the Kuwaitis used generations ago.\nBefore our reservation, and while we waited for everyone to arrive we went up to the Sky Lounge on top of the Radisson Blu to have a drink and take in the Arabian Gulf from the rooftop bar (non-alcoholic drinks in Kuwait of course). We had a great time, and it was an exceptional way to kick off what was going to be an excellent trip.\nFlying on Emirates the next afternoon we boarded a flight to get into Dubai early enough to spend some time being tourists. Of all the pilots I was the only one that had taken any time to really explore Dubai, so I played the role of tour guide as best I could. We purchased some bottles for the hotel room in duty free on the way out of the airport, and set off into the city. Dubai is one of my favorite destinations to spend a few days in, as you\u2019ve seen from previous posts here. We enjoyed a few drinks, and toasted our adventure before setting out into the city to meet up with a dear friend of mine, Giane, who lives in Dubai. We hit the Marina for dinner outside at an Italian restaurant and then head to an open air beach club called Barasti \u2013 located just down the beach from the Burj al Arab it was an awesome night, and since the last time I had been to Dubai had either been solo or with family \u2013 going with friends was a great \u201cnew\u201d way to see the city.\nThe next day we set out to tour around the city a bit, having lunch at The Claw (a crab shack with a great brunch) before going to the top observation level of the Burj Khalifa. The rest of the day was spent fairly easily leading up to our final dinner in Dubai at one of my favorite steakhouse, and one of the best in the city \u2013 Gaucho. We had an extremely early morning flight to Cochin Airport in Kerala, India \u2013 so we set back to the hotel to get a little bit of sleep, after eating far too much food; delicious as it may have been.\nAnother Emirates flight later and we were deplaning at Cochin Airport, the first airport in the world to be powered entirely by solar power. We\u2019d been asked to each buy two bottles (the limit) of liquor from the duty free on our way out so as to stock the bar at the wedding reception \u2013 and were happy to oblige. Arms laden with luggage and bags from duty free we stepped out of the air conditioned airport and were blasted with a warm, humid air. Crowds of people clung to the bannisters calling for their loved ones \u2013 and in the distance, down the line, our friend Munna and his brother Arun were waiting to meet us.\nThe fact the Munna had been allowed out of his home so close to the day of his wedding was a big deal, and his brother was directly responsible for getting him to and from the airport unharmed and in a timely manner. After a round of photos, hugs, and some brief jokes Munna loaded us up into a private van, the driver already briefed on our itinerary would be with us the entire trip, and said farewell as he was rushed back off to his family home to continue preparing for the ceremony. \u201cIf you need anything, just give me a text.\u201d he said, while stepping back out of the van.\nThe greeting seemed to fly by and before we knew it we were on the road, stopping briefly at a nearby hotel for a breakfast of boiled eggs and toast \u2013 the driver weaved in and out of traffic at break neck speeds with the precision of a fighter pilot rolling through a mach loop. It is best to not get too hung up on the near death experiences in Indian traffic \u2013 otherwise you would never get anywhere. Munna had gone to great lengths to make sure that we would have a great time in his homeland, and had seen to all the arrangements and details himself. Our schedule was timed down to the minute.\nOur first stop was at a resort on the Kerala river, small two unit bungalows dotted the grounds, a beautiful blue pool lined with elephant fountains was inviting, and the banks of the river gave way to spectacular views. The resort was tranquil and world class, we were only scheduled to spend one night there, but I know that all of us would have been content adding a few more nights onto that stay.\nThe next morning our driver was back with us, and we loaded all of our luggage into the van and took off again, further into the backcountry of Kerala. We were setting out to our second \u201chotel\u201d. Munna had arranged a back water river cruise for us in a large traditional style house boat. The boat would take us all around the area, while we ate fresh seafood for lunch and dinner. That evening we tied up along the banks of the river and a second boat joined us so that we would have enough rooms for everyone. The crews ties us into shore power and we decided to wander the small forest lined street a bit before the sun went down. We stumbled across a backyard pickup game of cricket and stayed to watch for a while, although none of us knew what was going on we cheered for the players as they scored what we thought were points. After we had seen enough cricket we decided to wander further down the trail and in doing so found ourselves invited into some temple grounds by some locals we met on the street. They showed us the grounds, and then asked for no less than a dozen photos with our group \u2013 the Indian women were particularly interested in photos with the girls. After snapping a dozen photos we got back on the trail to where our boats were tied up to end the night with drinks and cigars.\nThe next morning came quick and we were back in our van, roaring up into the mountains to our home for the remainder of the trip, the wedding, and the after party. A small retreat called Mannaass Vedu. This retreat, we later found out, was a place for spiritual cleansing, small portions of food with barely any rice, teas, ancient traditional massage, all were meant to cleanse the spirit and align the energy. Being the off season we had the entire place to ourselves. We also found out later (after the wedding) that Munna had instructed the host to feed us normal portions and that we weren\u2019t there for the retreat, but for his wedding. All of that aside, our host had several activities lined up for us during our stay including trips to a mirror factory, and a Hindu temple. I opted out of the mirror factory in favor of going to the temple. One of the largest in the region it was also one of the only ones where we as non-hindus would be allowed inside during the time of prayer.\nWhen we got there we removed our shoes and left them in the van, as we got nearer to the doors the men were instructed to remove their shirts, before entering. We had a very quiet walk through the grounds and took in the ancient architecture while our host from the retreat explained the history of the place to us. We then went into the inner temple area, and waited as people began to arrive to pray. The doors to a small antechamber were opened from within and the priests inside had been, and continued to light, candles. We couldn\u2019t, and didn\u2019t, take any photos inside the temple \u2013 but it was very interesting experience to say the least. After we got back to the retreat we settled in for the night, tomorrow was the big day for Munna.\nOnce more to the van, we clambered, though this time we were dressed for the event. All of us guys had been given traditional formal shirts for the wedding by Munna, Darren, Brandon, and Toby\u2019s wives had all brought dresses with them for the wedding \u2013 and we as a group looked pretty sharp. Our van ducked and weaved through traffic, even in the mountains we dodged other larger vans, busses, and trucks \u2013 never totally escaping flow of vehicles. We were running late, in no way our fault, just simply a matter of driving in India \u2013 but all the same that was a big deal. The priests conducting the wedding had decided the time the ceremony would happen, and it had to happen precisely then.\nFortunately we arrived with time to spare, joined by our good Kuwaiti friend Yousef, who had gotten in that morning and taken a taxi into the mountains to the wedding hall. As we stepped out of the van we were swarmed with the family and friends of the young couple \u2013 they guided us into the open courtyard where we finally again met up with Munna. We didn\u2019t have long for greetings as the wedding had begun. I couldn\u2019t exactly see through the crowd but it looked as though Munna had his feet cleaned before he entered the wedding hall. We followed inside behind him, dozen of cameras were in the air documenting the moment \u2013 and two drones \u2013 as we went through the doors. Each of us was handed a lemon, a gift and thank you from the family, and then we made our way upstairs.\nWe had no interest in being disruptive to the wedding, the hall was already filled with hundreds of people it felt like, and they\u2019d clearly already been sitting and waiting. As we walked in Munna with his family cleared the entire front row of seats for us, wanting us as close to the ceremony as possible. There was no arguing with him, no reasoning, no offering to sit or stand at the back. This was what he wanted, and where he wanted us.\nThe wedding ceremony was full of rituals and practices, and we watched with pride as Munna and his wife said their vows and were married. Honored and humbled to be there celebrating one of the most important days of our friends life. Afterwards we made our way down to a huge banquet hall that had been set up for the meal. Banana leaves were placed in front of us (a meal presentation style we\u2019d grown fast accustomed to over the last few days) and dollops of rice and different curries were portioned out by women walking amongst the tables with large pots of the assorted foods. As the meal wrapped up we were led back to our van and carted away back to the retreat. The wedding had come and gone, was beautiful and exciting to be a part of and easily hundreds of photos were taken of us while we were there. I\u2019d be interested to see what ever became of those photos.\nThe next day our plan was to go visit an elephant sanctuary, and to help bath some elephants. Our hosted joined us in the van and took us further up into the mountains, lush green jungle sprawled on either side of the roadway. We eventually pulled over in a non-descript and un-assuming area of a village and the host from the retreat led us out of the van and down a small trail toward the river. Prepared for this, we waded in water just below our knees until we rounded a corner and found several elephant handlers bathing and scrubbing two elephants in the river! For this you\u2019ve got to see the video \u2013 we had an awesome time with the elephants, helped to clean them, and then fed them entire bundles of bananas and other snacks we had bought for them on the way. After they were done rinsing off it was time to walk with them all the way back to the sanctuary, where we toured the grounds a bit, saw some baby elephants, and read up on the history of poaching and the ivory trade in the region.\nThat evening, and breaking with all tradition, we were hosting a big celebration for Munna, his wife, and their families at the retreat. We had begged and pleaded with Munna while we were in Kuwait to make it happen, we had wanted to spend as much time with him in India as we could and he had petitioned his families for permission and they had, somewhat reluctantly, agreed to a reception. This entire trip we\u2019d only seen him twice, at the airport when we had landed, and at his wedding. The retreat put up a large tent and filled it with food (a much needed break from the starvation portions we\u2019d been served the rest of the time we\u2019d been there) and set up a small bar that we stocked with all the bottles of liquor we\u2019d been asked to snag from the duty free.\nMunna and his wife showed up with the two families and we spent time meeting and greeting everyone before the rest of the extended family showed up. The party went well into the night and we had an appropriately American send off for the new couple. The whirlwind trip was coming to an end, and that next morning we were going to be back in our van once more for the long winding drive back to Cochin. The entire experience was out of this world, and one of a kind \u2013 the unique personal attention we received from our friend having carefully and meticulously planned every detail of our time in his home country was golden. Some of us flew home to America from Dubai, the rest of us headed back to Kuwait \u2013 back to work.\nThe pictures, and the video, do a great job of capturing our time here in India \u2013 I hope you enjoy them.\nhttp://imgur.com/a/lv6pg\nCategoriesAirlines, Just Me, Travel Tagsasia, blog, cochin, dubai, elephants, emirates airlines, hindu, houseboat, india, kerala, kuwait, roaming, temple, travel, wedding\nOne Reply to \u201cGod\u2019s Own Country \u2013 Kerala, India (Album)\u201d\nGreat post and great video!!\nPrevious PostPrevious Jen visits Dubai!

        "title": "Thrive | How to build a company culture that will attract talent",
        "raw_content": "A good company culture is instrumental for any business. Think of it as the DNA of your organisation: entirely unique to each company and the very foundations upon which you build your dream. Most importantly, it\u2019s the key ingredient for hiring the very best talent and creating the right conditions for them to succeed.\nI don\u2019t believe there is such a thing as a \u201cright\u201d or \u201cwrong\u201d culture. We can often be too quick to judge based on our own values and preference. All organisations are different. Culture is a strategic business tool just like anything else and should be used to drive results. With that in mind, we should all aim to create a culture that is effective within our own context, rather than what seems to work for someone else.\nAt CharlieHR, our mission is to enable small companies to build great places to work, so we think about how to achieve that for ourselves (and our customers) a lot. We obsess over developing an effective, high-performance culture, and here are a few of our learnings:\nFocus on behaviours over values\nConversations around culture always seem to centre around \u201cvalues\u201d. Companies spend hours defining value statements and sticking them up on the wall, but values mean very little unless they clearly articulate how team members can live them out. A value might be \u201cbrave\u201d, but a behaviour might explain \u201cif you have the conviction that an idea is good, you make it happen, no need for approval from anyone\u201d. The latter is far more descriptive of the organisation you really are and is hugely inspiring for the right time of the employee.\nYour culture should not appeal to everyone\nWhile we mustn\u2019t undermine the importance of diversity in any team \u2013 a variety of backgrounds and world experiences is vital \u2013 effective cultures shouldn\u2019t aim to appeal to everyone. While there are many common needs and desires we share, we are all different human beings who respond to different things in different ways. Don\u2019t be afraid to be bold and stay true to what feels right. You can\u2019t stand for something and be everyone\u2019s best mate.\nFounders set the tone\nIt\u2019s the founders\u2019 responsibility to embody the culture of the organisation. It has to be authentic to them and they need to be the standout examples of those behaviours. In any successful company, founders don\u2019t just have the idea and hold the vision, they set the tone of how the company gets there. It never works to try and build a culture around an ideal that a founder can\u2019t get on board with.\nInvolve your best-performing team members\nWhat do they care about? What do they value about working in your company? What do they love and what would they improve? You want more people like them, so you should listen to their feedback and invite them to take an active role in defining and developing your culture.\nCulture doesn\u2019t scale easily\nIt\u2019s a common complaint. \u201cThings aren\u2019t how they used to be\u201d. Companies grow up and they change, just as we do as people. It is impossible for a 20 person company to have the same culture as a 250 person company. The skill is to continue to evolve your culture alongside the needs of your organisation, and that takes a deep investment of time and incredibly hard work. It\u2019s OK for the culture to change, but that doesn\u2019t mean it needs to become less effective as a tool nor lose some of the core of what made it a special place to be.\nI truly believe that the only things companies must do to succeed are to hire the very best people and give them the space to do their very best work. Both of these things rely on defining, developing and iterating culture over time. None of this is easy, but if you thought building a successful company was going to be easy then you\u2019re in the wrong game!\nRob O\u2019Donovan\nCharlieHR.com",

Perhaps you\u2019re one of those people who always makes to-do lists and relishes the feeling that comes with checking off each item. But to be successful and less stressed in our day-to-day lives, we also need a TO-DON\u2019T list.\nWhat Is a TO-DON\u2019T List?\nA TO-DON\u2019T list has on it those things we shouldn\u2019t waste our time and energy doing. It\u2019s probably the harder of the two types of lists to follow since most items are ones we have to remember time and time again not to do. We can\u2019t just not do it once and check it off. We have to refer back to it, remember it, and develop it as a habit. That can also take a lot of energy. But, if you spend your energy working on your TO-DON\u2019T list, you\u2019ll save more energy in the long-run.\nBelow is an example of a TO-DON\u2019T list. It\u2019s my own personal TO-DON\u2019T list for 2017. Feel free to copy it, add to it, or tweak it any way you need to so you can de-stress and focus your energies on what\u2019s more important in life.\nMy TO-DON\u2019T List:\nApologize when I\u2019ve done nothing wrong.\nSay \u201cthat\u2019s okay\u201d when someone apologizes to me. Instead say, \u201cI accept your apology.\u201d Think about the difference between the two. Saying, \u201cThat\u2019s okay,\u201d is giving people permission to repeat the offense. Saying, \u201cI accept your apology,\u201d shows forgiveness and at the same time sets a healthy boundary.\nJust say \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d when I apologize to someone. Instead add to that, \u201cHow can I make it right?\u201d and try to do so. Otherwise, my apology is insincere and has no action behind it.\nCensor myself too much on my blog. I want to be more transparent so others can learn from my experiences instead of worrying they will think I\u2019m talking too much about myself.\nDo anything that doesn\u2019t support or line up with my personal mission statement. Do you have a personal mission statement? If not, add that to your to-do list! It can serve as the basis for helping make difficult choices easier to decide. I\u2019ll teach you how in to come up with your own mission statement in my coaching services and soon-to-be-released on-demand programs.\nYour TO-DON\u2019T List\nWhat should you add to your own TO-DON\u2019T list? Perhaps you don\u2019t need to continue feeling stuck in your current job. Maybe you don\u2019t need to keep putting off pursuing your passions or letting lack of confidence stand in your way. Or, you don\u2019t need to put off any longer getting help in these areas.

        "raw_content": "Technology, AI, and Remote Islands\nWe should remember where we come from before taking decisions that can profoundly impact our future.\nI have a conflictive relationship with technology\u2014I see the value of it in everyday life, but I often wonder where the limit is and where we are going.\nWhen I came to the US, I had an old phone with buttons and no touchscreen. My husband had an iPhone, and he wanted to get me one\u2014I resisted the temptation for a while because I was scared to become addicted. Eventually, I got my first iPhone, and my life changed\u2014I can\u2019t even count all the times that I look at my phone in a day\u2014too many. I especially hate when I waste hours scrolling my FB feed\u2014I open social media to check something, and I find myself sucked into the life of other people.\nSocial media is one of the reasons why my relationship with technology is conflictive. I love how positive movements can spread quickly, how bad behaviors get exposed, and how people can connect and support each other during tragedies\u2014but social media is also a place where hate and racism can put down roots and gather people. The limit between freedom of speech and hate speech is a hot-button topic; I do understand it\u2019s hard for the CEOs of giant corporations like FB and Twitter, to draw the line, but I think that racist words and incitement to violence should be condemned at all times.\nSocial media aside, I support all the technologies that can take us towards a more sustainable way of living using natural energies, like electric cars and solar panels. If technology can help us communicate, and live in harmony with the planet, I am all for it. The problems come when technology is just used to reach efficiency disregarding the disruption it can cause. AI scares me, and I understand why many people are afraid to lose their jobs because of robots. If the robots\u2019 revolution takes us to a universal basic income, we won\u2019t have to think about work anymore. But, will robots take over our civilization? This is a hot-button topic. Bill Gates thinks that increasing productivity will be good for society, but Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking warn us about the dangers of AI.\nThe thing is that there is always a human being behind technology, the way we build robots and program them, depend on us. History teaches us that when there is a source of power, someone will try to take over and take advantage of it. Are we ready to accept the challenge and move forward with AI? I am not sure about that, but I have to be honest, my mind sometimes goes to people living on a remote island, happy with what they have, without money, corruption, and violence.\nI watched a documentary about a civilization born on a remote island in the South Pacific. It\u2019s a community of 300 people, who help each other and work as a community. I looked at their happy faces performing rituals and hunting for food. I don\u2019t know if I want to live like that, but part of me envies their relationship with nature and the community feeling. I don\u2019t think AI will help us get in touch with nature and harmony. I know it wouldn\u2019t make sense to go back to a life without comfort, but we should all at least make a mental effort and remember where we come from before taking decisions that can profoundly impact our lives and future generations.\nOriginally published at www.chiarabtownley.com\n\u201cWithout healthy boundaries we are becoming sloth-like humans focused on entertainment and gratification.\u201d Create a healthier relationship with tech in these 5 ways\n\u201cI want to start the Netflix and burn movement\u201d With J.J.

        "raw_content": "Home > Entertainment > Nina Simone And Sister Rosetta Tharpe To Be Inducted Into Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame\nLOS ANGELES, Dec. 22, 2017 \u2014 Verve Label Group and UMe are proud to announce the induction of trailblazers Nina Simone and Sister Rosetta Tharpe into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Late pianist, singer and activist Simone will be inducted into the 2018 Performer Category alongside Bon Jovi, The Cars and The Moody Blues, while Tharpe, the late singer and guitarist known as the \u201cgodmother of rock and roll,\u201d will be inducted into the hall\u2019s Early Influences wing, joining such luminaries as Billie Holiday, Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, Bessie Smith and Howlin\u2019 Wolf. The 33rd Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony takes place April 14, 2018 at Public Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio.\nKnown as the \u201cHigh Priestess of Soul,\u201d Nina Simone defies categorization. A pianist, singer, songwriter, composer and activist, she was one of the most gifted vocalists of her generation, an extraordinary artist of the twentieth century, an icon of American music. Rather than being confined to musical boundaries, she knew no bounds and fused jazz, blues, soul, folk, R&B, gospel, pop and showtunes with her classical roots, creating a rich tapestry filled with emotional honesty, spiritual depth and virtuosic musicianship.\nBorn Eunice Kathleen Waymon on February 21, 1933, in Tryon, North Carolina, Simone took to music at an early age and begun playing piano at three years old. After graduating valedictorian of her high school class, her community raised money for a scholarship for her to study classical piano at Julliard in New York City. She left after the money ran out and applied to the prestigious Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, where she was denied entrance, something Simone always felt was racially motivated. Determined to make a living playing music, she began to perform in bars in Atlantic City where she played jazz standards and was required to sing. Word quickly spread and at the age of twenty-four she scored her first record deal.\nSimone recorded more than 40 albums, beginning in 1957 with her debut Little Girl Blue, featuring \u201cI Loves You Porgy,\u201d which became a Top 10 hit in the U.S. By the mid-1960s, Simone had become known as a main voice for the Civil Rights Movement as her music began to reflect the tumultuous times. She signed to Philips in 1964 at the age of 31 and experienced an exceptional purple patch that included seven albums in three years. Her first for the label, Nina Simone In Concert, captured some of Simone\u2019s most committed Civil Rights-era material, including her explosive rendition of \u201cMississippi Goddam.\u201d This period also saw her satisfy her relentlessly questing muse, with collections that focused on Broadway showtunes (Broadway-Blues-Ballads), pop material (I Put A Spell On You) and more, showing the full range of Simone\u2019s talents. Pitchfork hailed these recordings, which include classics \u201cFeeling Good,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t Let Me Be Misunderstood,\u201d \u201cI Put A Spell On You,\u201d \u201cSinnerman\u201d and \u201cFour Women,\u201d as \u201csome of the most important, moving documents of American history.\u201d\nSince her death in 2003, Simone\u2019s influence, significance and cultural relevance has only grown, especially most recently as issues of race, police brutality and civil rights are once again at the forefront of the cultural conversation. The feature documentary, \u201cWhat Happened, Miss Simone?\u201d \u2014 which won the 2016 Emmy for Outstanding Documentary \u2014helped shine a new light on Simone\u2019s immense talents and fearless activism, resulting in a new generation discovering her timeless music and indelible impact. Simone\u2019s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame serves as a recognition of her influence and contributions to the world of music.\nUpon the news of her induction, Rolling Stone wrote, \u201cno artist has been more overdue for recognition than Sister Rosetta Tharpe, adding, \u201cA queer black woman from Arkansas who shredded on electric guitar, belted praises both to God and secular pleasures, and broke the color line touring with white singers, she was gospel\u2019s first superstar, and she most assuredly rocked.\u201d Born March 20, 1915 in Cotton Plant, Arkansas, Tharpe defied expectations from an early age as a guitar prodigy. At six years old, her mother left her father to be a traveling evangelist and together they joined the exodus of poor black southerners heading north. They settled in Chicago where young Rosetta encountered the music that migrants had brought with them \u2013 blues from the Mississippi delta and jazz from New Orleans. She began performing gospel music as Little Rosetta Nubin with her mother at churches as part of a traveling Baptist roadshow. By the time she was in her 20s, she was a seasoned performer whose distinctive voice and unconventional style, filled with her signature feverish electric guitar playing, attracted many fans.\nIn 1938, Tharpe moved to New York, where she signed with Decca Records. That year she recorded four songs \u2013 \u201cRock Me,\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s All,\u201d \u201cThe Man and I\u201d and \u201cThe Lonesome Road\u201d \u2013 which all became instant hits, establishing Tharpe as a household name and helping to bring gospel music to the mainstream. She remained a star through the \u201940s and in 1945 her single, \u201cStrange Things Happening Every Day,\u201d became the first gospel single to cross over on the Billboard race (later called R&B) charts. In 1947, she gave 14-year-old Richard Penniman his first glimpse of the spotlight which made Little Richard decide to become a performer right then. In the \u201950s massive audiences were flocking to see her perform in arenas.\n\u201cShe was there before Elvis, Little Richard and Johnny Cash swiveled their hips and strummed their guitars,\u201d NPR proclaimed in their feature of Tharpe earlier this year. \u201cIt was Tharpe, the godmother of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, who turned this burgeoning musical style into an international sensation\u2026 Through her unforgettable voice and gospel swing crossover style, Tharpe influenced a generation of musicians including Aretha Franklin, Chuck Berry and countless others.\u201d Without Sister Rosetta Tharpe, rock and roll would not be the same. As the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame said, \u201cShe is the founding mother who gave rock\u2019s founding fathers the idea,\u201d declaring, \u201cNo one deserves more to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.\u201d\nSOURCE Verve\nCONTACT: Tim Plumley, UMe, tim.plumley@umusic.com, 310.865.7797\nSomething Strange in the Western Skies",

        "raw_content": "Home Lifestyle The Late Vivien Thomas Honored by Johns Hopkins\nThe Late Vivien Thomas Honored by Johns Hopkins\nAn African American Medical Pioneer?s Rise to the Top\nVivien Thomas never went to medical school to realize his dream of becoming a doctor. He did, however, supervise one of the greatest medical breakthroughs of our times: the first successful heart surgery. Though his story is seldom told, no list of Top Ten Famous African Americans is complete without his name.\nThomas was born in New Iberia, Louisiana, in 1910. He grew up and attended public schools in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1929, he enrolled as a premed student at the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial College but had to drop out when a bank crash wiped out all his hard-earned savings. After that, he took a job as a lab assistant at Vanderbilt University, working with Dr. Alfred Blalock. Together they made giant strides in the science of treating shock, saving the lives of literally millions of soldiers in WW II with the new treatment protocols they designed.\nDr. Blalock and Vivien Thomas Join Forces\nLater, Dr. Blalock moved to Johns Hopkins Hospital and asked Thomas to join him. At the time, prejudice was so engrained in American society that Thomas was not even allowed to walk in the front door of the hospital; he had to use a back service entry. And though he was doing the advanced work of a medical research scientist and surgical assistant, his job designation and pay grade were that of janitor.\nAt Johns Hopkins, Blalock and Thomas turned their considerable talents to the problem of \u201cblue babies\u201d: children born with a congenital heart defect that did not allow their lungs to properly oxygenate their blood, turning their skin a faint shade of blue. Working with dogs in the lab, Blalock and Thomas perfected a surgical technique that repaired the defect. This was no small feat. Until then, medical science saw the heart as sacrosanct. Surgery on the heart was simply considered impossible.\nUsing a specialized clamp designed by Vivien Thomas, and with Thomas standing behind him and giving him guidance, Blalock preformed the first anastomosis surgery on November 29, 1944. It was not only successful; it was groundbreaking. The tragic problem of blue babies was finally solved, and the way was now clear for the development of other life-saving open-heart surgeries. Despite his fundamental contribution, at the time, Vivien Thomas was not recognized. Newspaper and magazine articles lauding the event did not mention his name.\nThomas stayed at Johns Hopkins for over 35 years where he helped train many of its surgeons in the delicate techniques needed for heart surgery. He was eventually appointed the head of the hospital\u2019s surgical research laboratory and in 1976 became a surgery instructor at Johns Hopkins University.\nThe Vivien Thomas BIO \u2013 Closing Comments\nUnlike many pioneering African-American scientists and inventors, Vivien Thomas lived long enough to see his contributions to medical science acknowledged. Eventually his name became, rightfully, linked with the groundbreaking heart surgeries he helped develop and, in 1976, Johns Hopkins University awarded him an honorary Doctor of Laws degree.\nHe finally had the degree he had earned, not in the classroom, but through actual medical experience. Now, his portrait hangs in the very entryway of Johns Hopkins Hospital where he was once not even allowed to walk.\nA related article for your enjoyment\u2026 Black scientists behind in government funding\nWe would love to hear your thoughts about the amazing medical strides made by Vivien Thomas, please comment below!\nGM Recalls 2.4 Million U.S. Vehicles",

Natalie Eastham and Paul Brown led the investment for Total Capital Partners.\nMPL is a leading independent supplier of gas meters, providing a full service offering for its customers, including kitting, stock-holding, logistics and full track-and-trace services via its bespoke software system, Slipstream. Its customer base includes the UK\u2019s largest meter asset managers, gas suppliers, network operators and utility infrastructure providers.\nThe business has delivered impressive growth with revenues increasing from \u00a312m to \u00a325m in the three years to March 2013. EBITDA in the year to March 2013 was close to \u00a34.0m.\nTotal Capital is backing Tim Houtby, the existing Managing Director of MPL and Stephen Burr, the incoming Finance Director, to take the business independent and maximise its growth in a market place that is forecast to grow strongly in the next few years, as the UK\u2019s 23 million industrial, commercial and domestic gas meters are replaced with smart meters.\nMr Houtby has been with Meter Provida since its inception and has been responsible for driving the impressive growth in recent years. Stephen Burr is appointed as Finance Director. Mr Burr knows the industry well as he was previously the Finance Director of Delta Fluid Products, where he worked with Ms Eastham on the buyout of that business.\nTotal Capital Partners provided both debt and equity for the buy-out, delivering a tailored financing package to suit the cashflow requirements of the business. Total Capital takes a majority equity stake alongside management\u2019s equity stake and a rollover stake from Fusion Group.\nNatalie Eastham of Total Capital Partners commented: \u201cWe are delighted to back Tim and Stephen as they embark on the next phase of growth for MPL. The industry presents exciting growth opportunities as the impact of deregulation continues and the smart metering opportunity takes shape. MPL has established itself as a key service provider in the market place and we look forward to investing further in its development in the coming period\u201d.\nTim Houtby of Meter Provida Limited said: \u201cTotal Capital has provided a bespoke financing package to suit the needs of our business as it grows. I am looking forward to working with them\u201d.\nTotal Capital arranges financing for each of its investments on a deal-by-deal basis, with funds for this investment coming in the main from two of the UK\u2019s leading institutional investors.\nWard Hadaway provided buy-side legal advice, KPMG conducted financial due diligence and PMSI completed commercial due diligence.\nTotal Capital Partners provides single source financing for established SMEs with operating profit between \u00a31.0m and \u00a35.0m. By providing the total debt and equity requirements in an investment, this removes any reliance on third party leveraged finance, and furthermore, it reduces complexity in the deal process and in the ongoing investment period. The Total Capital approach offers enhanced flexibility and the financing is tailored to the specific needs of each business.\nFor further information please contact: Natalie Eastham: 07976 606899\nPaul Brown: 07900 137605",

        "raw_content": "Free Coffee, And A Sleeve To Go With It\nPosted in Uncategorized tagged Coffee, How To at 11:10 am by treacleandinketsy\nToday finds me putting together another coffee cup sleeve. This one is to replace the one I made in the post How To \u2013 Coffee Cup Sleeve. If you remember, that one, which was given to a dear friend, became so attached to the first cup it tightly hugged, that it refused to let go and accompanied the cup on the rest of it\u2019s journey to the Garbage Kingdom.\nMy decision to make a reusable coffee cup sleeve stemmed from a desire to take another small step toward lessening the amount of garbage I throw away. Now I have yet another motivation to decrease the size of my footprint.\nCoffee Bash Accent Pillow - Tea, Espresso, Latte, Cappuccino Stains Rings\nStarbucks is giving away free coffee tomorrow!\nThat\u2019s right. If you bring in your reusable travel mug tomorrow, April 15, they will fill it up with coffee for FREE! Check it out here at \u201cThe Big Picture\u201d. Woo hoo! I love coffee.\nI haven\u2019t yet made the leap to having a reusable coffee cup ready and with me at all times, although I have been encouraged to do so by my super sweet 7-eleven lady on several occasions. I don\u2019t keep one in the car, and don\u2019t think to grab one out of the cabinet when I head out the door. Then there is the matter of remembering to take it out of the car and wash it for it\u2019s next use\u2026 Kind of like how I have a stockpile of reusable grocery bags that I never seem to remember to bring until I\u2019m in the checkout line.\nI need to stop making excuses, I know. At least the sleeve is small enough that it stays in my purse, so it\u2019s with me wherever I go. If you\u2019re not up to the task of keeping a reusable coffee cup with you, I encourage you to try out the sleeve. It still makes one less thing you throw away\u2026unless you\u2019re my dear friend. \ud83d\ude42\nWhat are some small changes you have made to help reduce your waste?",

        "raw_content": "Yesterday I loaded up the kayak and headed out to the Red River, launching at a point just south of Selkirk to accomplish a goal I\u2019ve had for some time now. The Red River is known for it\u2019s big water and bigger catfish, and it was one of these monster kitties that I was after. I specifically wanted to catch a master angler catfish and be able to land it on my kayak, preferably without tipping over.\nAlthough I don\u2019t usually see many other people when I\u2019m out in the middle of a weekday, I was still a little surprised that there was not a single other person in sight. It was nice having a whole stretch of the river to myself, and when the sun came out it was even quite scenic, which let\u2019s be fair is not something usually said about the Red.\nI started out with my standard approach of a few casts in a few different depths, not staying in any one place for too long, but didn\u2019t get a single hit. The current was pretty strong so after a little while I decided to pull anchor and drift along the shore for awhile, see if anything wanted to take a bite. I wasn\u2019t really sure what depth I should be focusing on since I hadn\u2019t been out for catfish yet this year, so I did the smart thing and texted the old man.\nHe tipped me off to a likely depth so I found a nice gravel flat right near the middle of a bend, anchored at about 11 feet and dropped in my line. It only took about 5 minutes in this new spot before I missed a bite and had my bait stripped. I figured that was a promising sign, and it was only a matter of a few more minutes before I was hooked into something heavy. The old man still knows a few things I guess!\nHis advice certainly wasn\u2019t going to make me do any worse\u2026\nI could tell right away that I was on a big kitty, and I could hardly believe that I might meet my goal so quickly. It took me a solid 7 or 8 minutes of reeling to even get it close to the kayak, and just about the point it\u2019s head finally broke the surface, I realized that I didn\u2019t have my net. This was going to be interesting.\nHi there! How do you wanna do this?\nI wasn\u2019t quite sure how I was going to hold the thing, and it wouldn\u2019t come close enough to me for any length of time for me to figure that out. I came up with a backup plan, pulled anchor and headed for shore. After hopping out and almost losing my kayak to the current, I dragged the fish out of the water and finally got a hold of it. It was a sloppy landing in all respects, but it was well worth the struggle as the fish was a solid 36 inches.\nMy goal was not just to catch a MA catfish though, I\u2019ve done that plenty of times on the Red. What I was really aiming to overcome was the challenge of landing it on the kayak, and without my net that was going to be even more difficult. I was encouraged by this first catch though and came up with a plan for how to grab and hold on to the next one.\nFeeling confident about the next one\nI anchored in the same spot and after missing a few bites, soon enough I had another one on the line. I could tell that this one also had some weight to it and I dug in for a fight. It was another round of frantic reeling and hauling on the line before I got a glance at it and several long minutes more before it actually came close enough to grab. I finally got my hand under it\u2019s head, got a hold of it by the gill and with a bit of struggle hauled it up onto my lap. It was another master angler coming in at 35 inches and around 35 pounds.\nMission accomplished! Now that\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about!\nNothing quite beats that feeling of setting out with a very specific goal and actually accomplishing it, and I accomplished this goal with one hell of a catfish. I landed a couple more catfish over the next couple hours, still a nice size but not quite master anglers, before heading to shore to pack it all up. I drove home satisfied with meeting my challenge for the day and especially with such nice sized fish.\nWhat\u2019s not to love about these gentle giants?\nA goal completed, a day on the water with no one else in sight, and a mess of great sized catfish.

        "raw_content": "Home Buzz Florida voted to give ex-felons the right to vote. Now Republicans throwing...\nFlorida voted to give ex-felons the right to vote. Now Republicans throwing a wrench in that process.\nA month after Florida voters a measure to restore the franchise to about 1.4 million former felons-the largest expansion of voting rights in decades-a battle over implementing that change is already beginning.\nTo those who crafted Amendment 4, the ballot was straightforward. It read, \u201d This amendment restores the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole or probation.\u201d It stipulated an exception for people convicted of murder or a sexual offense.\n\u201cOn January 8, anybody who has completed the terms of their sentence for an offense other than murder or felony sexual assault had their rights restored by the voters on Election Day,\u201d said Howard Simon, who as director of the Florida ACLU helped craft and shepherd Amendment 4 to passage. But Simon, who last week after 21 years leading the Florida ACLU, predicted that there might be trouble ahead. \u201cI\u2019m not naive,\u201d he said in an interview with Mother Jones on the day he stepped down. He predicted that the state legislature, which does not convene until March 5, might try to muddy the waters. Legislation could bog down rights restoration or sow enough confusion that some ex-felons are deterred from registering.\nThis week, the first signs of obstruction arose. The secretary of state, Republican Ken Detzner, told the media on Tuesday that he believes the ballot language is unclear and, rather than give guidance to the elections supervisors, he wants the state legislature to weigh in. \u201cWe need to get some direction from them as far as implementation and definitions-all the kind of things that the supervisors were asking,\u201d he . \u201cIt would be inappropriate for us to charge off without direction from them.\u201d\nBefore the legislature potentially steps in, implementation of the initiative will get its first test at the county level, where supervisors of elections, who run voter registration in each of Florida\u2019s 67 counties, will make decisions about how to enact the measure. Some elections supervisors, who met in Sarasota this week for their mid-winter conference, have voiced frustration at the lack of guidance from Detzner, as the Tampa Bay Times\n\u201cThey wouldn\u2019t give any direction to us, and they didn\u2019t provide a timeline,\u201d said Polk County elections chief Lori Edwards.\n\u201cIt\u2019s typical,\u201d said Manatee County Supervisor Mike Bennett of the state\u2019s response, and predicted: \u201cIt\u2019s going to hit the fan.\u201d\nSome counties say they will allow former felons to begin registering on January 8, but others may not. That could lead to lawsuits over the disparities in people\u2019s voting rights based on the county where they live. Michael McDonald, a University of Florida professor and an expert in elections, Tuesday that Detzner\u2019s \u201cresisting implementation of the restoration of felons voting rights\u2026is going to lead to costly litigation for the state, with voters footing the bill.\u201d\nState Sen. Dennis Baxley, the Republican who will lead the committee with jurisdiction over the issue, has been noncommittal on whether legislation is needed to implement the sweeping rights restoration passed by the voters. \u201cHow do you evaluate eligibility?\u201d Baxley the Tampa Bay Times . \u201cI still have some questions\u2026What were the terms of their sentence? Do they have to meet probation? Did they complete their debt to society or not?\u201d\nTo Simon of the ACLU, the answers to those questions are obvious. The terms of a sentence are whatever the judge ordered, including any time in prison or on probation and any payment of restitution to victims. In Florida, the state supreme court approves initiative language before amendments can appear on the ballot. The court unanimously approved the Amendment 4 language in April 2017 as clear and specific. \u201cThe title and summary would reasonably lead voters to understand that the chief purpose of the amendment is to automatically restore voting rights to felony offenders, except those convicted of murder or felony sexual offenses, upon completion of all terms of their sentence,\u201d Justice Fred Lewis in his opinion.\nAmendment 4 replaced a system of mass felon disenfranchisement in effect since the earliest years of Jim Crow. After the Civil War, Florida reluctantly granted African Americans the franchise as a condition for rejoining the union. But it inscribed in its new state constitution an expansion of felon disenfranchisement aimed at taking away the voting rights of newly freed slaves. Anyone convicted of a felony in Florida had his voting rights permanently revoked. At the same time, the state expanded the number of crimes that would count as felonies and created a system of county criminal courts intended to convict African Americans of crimes such as \u201clarceny, malicious mischief, vagrancy, and \u2018all offences against Religion, Chastity, Morality, and Decency.'\u201d During Reconstruction, black men accounted for 90 percent of Florida\u2019s new prison population.\nEx-felons could get their right to vote back, but they had to go through a bizarre process that involved individually petitioning the governor and his cabinet for clemency. There was no established standard for governors to approve these requests, so people\u2019s right to vote was at the mercy of their whims. (I n 2018, a federal judge found the process unconstitutional , but it remains in place as the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals determines whether to keep it in place for people convicted of murder or sexual offense who are not covered by Amendment 4.)\nMore than 100 years after Reconstruction, the tough-on-crime policies of the 1980s and 1990s caused Florida\u2019s prison population to explode, with a disproportionate impact on African Americans. By the time voters approved Amendment 4, 1.5 million Floridians-including 20 percent of voting-age African Americans-were disenfranchised.\nThe voters \u201ctook control of the constitution and went over the heads of the politicians and finally addressed this lingering problem in Florida,\u201d Simon said. Amendment 4\u2019s language \u201cis self-enforcing, it is automatic, it says that voting rights shall be restored, that the disqualification from voting shall end. I mean, I don\u2019t know what part of that is unclear at all. So I don\u2019t think it needs legislation.\u201d",

The people of Outpost have managed to survive by working together, scavenging food from empty homes and businesses, guarding one another while they sleep.\nThey have persevered through their worst nightmare.\nOr so they believed.\nA stranger has come to them with a choice: they can come with him and be part of saving the world, but in doing so there is a strong likelihood they'll die. Or they can do nothing and hope some other community has the courage to do what they can't.\nThey've already suffered greater than they believed was possible, but many of them still want to fight, to join the stranger's cause. Others are skeptical. They don't believe the stranger's story and want nothing to do with furthering their own misery. They like things just the way they are... and they'll fight to keep it that way.

Chronic activation of CaMKII results in cellular remodeling and ultimately arrhythmogenic alterations in Ca2+ handling, ion channels, cell-to-cell coupling and metabolism. This review addresses the detrimental effects of the upregulated CaMKII signaling to enhance the arrhythmogenic substrate and trigger mechanisms in the heart. We also briefly summarize preclinical studies using kinase inhibitors and genetically modified mice targeting CaMKII in diabetes. The mechanistic understanding of CaMKII signaling, cardiac remodeling and arrhythmia mechanisms may reveal new therapeutic targets and ultimately better treatment in diabetes and heart disease in general.\nKW - Arrhythmias\nKW - Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II\nKW - Diabetes\nKW - Excitation-contraction coupling\nKW - Posttranslational modifications\nU2 - 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2019.01.001\nDO - 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2019.01.001\nJO - Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology\nJF - Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology",

        "raw_content": "Ryan and Blake marry, McCartney gets French honor\nSep. 10 - The latest celebrity and entertainment headlines including Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively marry, Paul McCartney awarded Legion of Honor and Star Trek star Walter Koenig honored with Hollywood star. Lindsay Claiborn reports.\nRyan Reynolds and Blake Lively, who co-starred in last summer's \"Green Lantern\" film, married quietly on Sunday (September 9) in South Carolina, People.com reported, sealing their low-profile romance of about a year. Reynolds was previously married to Scarlett Johansson for two years. The couple split in late 2010 and their divorce was finalized in 2011. Prior to that, Reynolds was engaged to singer Alanis Morissette. This is the first marriage for 25-year-old Lively, who most recently starred on-screen in Oliver Stone's \"Savages.\" Sir Paul McCartney was presented France's highest decoration in Paris on Saturday (September 8). President Francois Hollande pinned the Legion of Honour on the former Beatle's jacket who looked quite pleased with this new accolade. McCartney was made an officer of the Legion of Honour, France's highest public distinction which has been awarded to the likes of actor Clint Eastwood and singer Liza Minnelli. Johnny Depp hit the carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival to support Peter Jackson's documentary \"West of Memphis,\" which details evidence that aims to exonerate three men convicted of crimes they did not commit. Depp has established a friendship with some of the key players in the documentary and said he wanted to use his celebrity status to help exonerate them. Walter Koenig became the final \"Star Trek\" cast member to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It is the 2,479 star on the famed boulevard and it is located near Koenig's \"Star Trek\" castmate George Takei. The ceremony comes two days after the 46th anniversary of the premiere of \"Star Trek,\" which Koenig joined in its second season as Ensign Pavel Chekov, a role he also would play in the first seven \"Star Trek\" movies.\nhttps://uk.reuters.com/video/2012/09/10/ryan-and-blake-marry-mccartney-gets-fren?videoId=237642297&videoChannel=81",

        "title": "Mika Guzman Karlsson \u2013 UnABridged",
        "raw_content": "Our next sketch focuses on Mika Guzman Karlsson, MS4, a world-traveling neuroscientist. Mika was born in Sweden and moved with his family to Bolivia soon after he was born to be with his dad\u2019s family. He lived in Bolivia until he was 13 where his dad worked for the US embassy. To ensure Mika got a good education and to take advantage of the opportunities provided in the US, they moved to the Los Angeles suburbs. Mika then attended high school in LA, went to UCLA for college, and worked for a couple of years as a lab technician before ending up in UAB\u2019s MSTP. Read on for highlights from our interview:\nPaige: You have a unique background story. What was it like growing up in Bolivia?\nMika: I cherish my childhood in Bolivia. Although Bolivia is troubled by the same factors that afflict other developing countries, it is the loving people, vibrant culture, and breath-taking landscape that has left a lasting impression on me.\nPaige: Continuing that thought, how was the transition to the US?\nMika: It was certainly a difficult transition moving to a new environment for high school, let alone in a completely different country! Fortunately, because my father worked at the US embassy, I was able to attend an American school, so I had some exposure to American culture. I also spoke English and Spanish, so there thankfully wasn\u2019t a language barrier.\nPaige: What about your transition from LA to Birmingham?\nMika: Definitely easier than the transition from Bolivia to LA! Honestly, I\u2019ve been pleasantly surprised how much I\u2019ve liked Birmingham. Even though California is a mixture of cultures and lifestyles, I was excited about experiencing southern culture with its unique customs, cuisine, and food. I really enjoy the slower pace of Birmingham living and the ease of getting around the city, but I do miss the diversity in people and landscape that Southern California offered.\nPaige: When did you decide to apply for an MD/PhD program?\nMika: I was initially set on the MD-only track and like other pre-med students, I became involved in research to fulfill an application requirement. However, once in the lab I surprised myself by how much I enjoyed it. Going to my first big scientific conference towards the end of college is what sealed the deal for me. I saw science as a process so much larger than the individual experiments I was running in lab. It was no longer a practice performed in isolation but instead a vibrant and engaging community with a shared sense of purpose. After this experience, I became intrigued by the MD/PhD track and took a couple of years off to explore further the idea of becoming a physician-scientist.\nPaige: Retrospectively, do you think taking time off was a good choice for you?\nMika: Absolutely. An MSTP is a long, challenging, competitive training program. My time off allowed me to develop additional research experience, foster healthy life balance practices and most importantly solidify my decision to pursue an MD/PhD. I think my parents were afraid that I wouldn\u2019t want to go back to school but taking time off to actively think about what was important to me and what my options were positioned me to be in a better place. I think we all have to do this at some point. Otherwise you run the risk of being at the end of the path and finding yourself in something that might not be exactly right for you. It\u2019s a lot easier to achieve something when you know your end goal and the best way to accomplish it. The more foresight and insight you have, the better off you are. I also figured out during this time what people I needed to talk to, (broadly) what I wanted to study for my PhD, and as a result I was more motivated to push forward. During my time off I realized I wanted to build on my experience with behavioral neuroscience, incorporating molecular biology and biochemical approaches to study the processes underlying learning and memory.\nPaige: That\u2019s great advice for anyone considering applying for one of these programs. What made you choose UAB?\nMika: The program\u2019s stewardship and students were, and continue to be, fantastic, so it was a no-brainer. Plus Birmingham is a very comfortable city in which to live. There is an active neuroscience community with diverse research programs, allowing me to readily identify PIs [principal investigators] to work with, including Dave Sweatt who ended up being my thesis mentor. Interestingly, joining Dave\u2019s lab is another example of how my time off prepared me to take advantage of serendipitous opportunities. During that time I had read Dave\u2019s Mechanisms of Memory textbook and familiarized myself with his research. When I interviewed at UAB, I was pleasantly surprised to find that he had, in fact, moved his lab to UAB from Baylor.\nPaige: What was your thesis project in the Sweatt lab?\nMika: I used next-generation sequencing and bioinformatics to characterize transcriptional and DNA methylation changes in a mouse model of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. By integrating our results with data from other transgenic mouse models, we identified a conserved profile of dysregulated pathways including extracellular matrix remodeling, immune function, neuronal plasticity and chromatin binding. Our analysis also revealed that each model had overlapping but distinct patterns of dysregulation suggesting that certain models may be depicting unique parts or phases of the overall disease pathogenesis. Building from our results, we also showed that ASO (antisense oligonucleotide)-based therapeutics targeting epigenetic enzymes could rescue AD-related cognitive impairment.\nPaige: Did you think getting that experience in bioinformatics will be useful for you as you progress in your career?\nMika: Definitely. I think it\u2019s a useful skill to have and there is an increasing demand across several disciplines/specialties for using genomic or other \u2013omic approaches to answer research and clinical questions. From a scientific perspective, these tools allow us to capture a more accurate, complete picture of normal biology and pathophysiology. Clinically, these approaches help us infer new clinical associations, make novel diagnoses, redefine existing diagnostic criteria, tailor individual treatments, and track treatment effectiveness.\nPaige: What was the hardest part of the PhD phase for you?\nMika: I would say gaining the skills to be able to identify when a project is moving forward and when to change the direction of a project. Navigating that learning process requires time as well as repeated trial and error. I spent too much time trying to make things work that, for whatever reason, weren\u2019t working\u2014whether that was the tools I was using, my understanding of the underlying physiology, the availability of necessary resources, etc. Looking back, I should have changed projects much earlier than I did. Even though the transition to a new project was challenging, I learned how to be flexible. Interestingly, some of my initial ideas and hypotheses did find their way into my final dissertation.\nPaige: Speaking of transitions, how was it for you going back to medical school after you finished the PhD?\nMika: I feel very fortunate to be part of a program like ours that has the built-in infrastructure like MSTP 795 and retreat workshops to facilitate the transition process. To expand on this information, I made sure to talk to other students who had transitioned before me, picking their brains for specific practical details like which faculty to work with, what services to request, what study resources to use, etc. With those two resources, I was surprised how smoothly the transition went. Looking back, I think that having a smooth transition is less about the depth of your medical knowledge and more about your practical skill set as it relates to gathering data relevant to your patient, interacting with your patient and your team, and presenting to your team on rounds. Your proficiency at these skills is evaluated on a daily basis making them much more important. In one sense MD/PhD students may be at an advantage entering the clerkships as they have spent their PhD years developing these same skills. That being said, I most definitely had to get in the habit of reading daily to relearn much of the medical information that I had forgotten from the first two years of medical school.\nPaige: Which month did you go back to clinics?\nMika: I went back at the end of July. All of the third year medical students are still pretty new to the clerkships then so it was a perfect time to start.\nPaige: Which rotation did you start on?\nMika: I started on psychiatry because I was interested in that at the time, and felt I was more prepared from a knowledge-base standpoint given my graduate training. Compared to other clerkships, psych is less time-demanding, which provided more opportunities to study and regain my medical knowledge, adapt to the nature of the hospital schedule, and learn the EMR [electronic medical record]. The latter was particularly important as my sun card for access to the EMR didn\u2019t work the first day! Although it took a while to get that fixed, I could still be a useful member of the team. Doing so would have proved more difficult on the other clerkships. By the time I rotated on to my medicine clerkship, I felt more oriented and prepared.\nPaige: Now that you\u2019re in your final year of medical school, what is your plan for residency?\nMika: I\u2019m applying for child neurology and neurodevelopmental disabilities residencies, which are 5 and 6 years, respectively. Both have 2 years of general pediatrics, 1 year of adult neurology, and then 2-3 years of child neurology/developmental disabilities.\nPaige: When did you decide on that residency track and how have you been prepping for it?\nMika: Towards the end of my third year. Although I made sure to take the time to reflect on my experience with each rotation, including what I liked or didn\u2019t like, what I thought I did well, and where I could improve. Talking to faculty for guidance throughout the rotations, asking what they do and why was also helpful. Most faculty have an inherent desire to give people advice and, when the setting is appropriate, you can gain a lot of information from them. Starting on psych actually allowed me to rule that out early on, after which I deliberated between adult and child neurology. I found myself drawn to the world of pediatrics\u2014a happy and lively place where I could be goofy and joke around, all while wearing a Pikachu name badge. I also enjoyed working with family members to promote the care and development of their children. Ultimately, it was my AI [acting internship] in child neurology that solidified my choice. It was the perfect combination of neurology, pediatrics, medical genetics, development, and psychiatry.\nI decided on my specialty early enough that I had time to make all of the necessary connections for applying, which was another reason that transitioning back to clinic in July was a good choice. Being done with clerkships in early May, I had time to do my medicine AI, an inpatient child neurology AI, and an outpatient child neurology elective to spend more time with the attendings and get letters of recommendation; my letters are all from child neurology faculty. It would have been harder to do that if I had gone back in October. I didn\u2019t do any away rotations and wasn\u2019t required to submit my Step 2 scores before turning in my residency application, so that also freed up more time for me, but you have to be cognizant of those things when you\u2019re applying and making your schedule.\nPaige: Where all are you applying?\nMika: I\u2019m applying broadly. I\u2019m not tied to any specific part of the country and based on the fact that I enjoyed Birmingham so much, I would probably be happy living anywhere. I know I do want to end up at a large academic center that supports the development of physician-scientists.\nPaige: What is most exciting to you about starting residency?\nMika: Right now I feel similar to how most graduate students feel at the end of their PhD training\u2014you have this 6 month sweet spot where you know precisely which experiments to run, you can get data and trust it, and then make the appropriate logical conclusion from that data and design a subsequent experiment. You feel on top of the world, and you have the skills and knowledge to get things done. I\u2019m looking forward to transitioning from being a student to the actual caretaker of the patient, though. I look forward to that responsibility. It\u2019s liberating in a sense because you\u2019re no longer behind the protective wall of your residents or attendings. I\u2019m also excited to be able to focus on the patient population and the type of medicine I\u2019m interested in doing for the rest of my career.\nPaige: What are your larger career goals during/after residency?\nMika: I wish to enter a residency program that will provide a rigorous and broad-based clinical education with a diverse patient population. Given my long-term goals of remaining in academic neuroscience, I\u2019m searching for a program that encourages individualized mentorship and facilitates research opportunities, ideally through a formal mechanism. After residency, I plan to devote my time to clinical practice, research, education, and mentorship. At the moment, I think I would enjoy the prototypical 80/20 split with 80% research, 20% clinical duties. The research component being basic science and some translational or clinical research.\nPaige: And, most importantly, what do you do for fun when you\u2019re not taking care of patients or studying neurons?\nMika: I like music\u2014playing music, listening to music, and going to concerts. I\u2019ve played the drums since middle school band, and I\u2019ve gotten back into it since I moved to Birmingham. We had a band the first 2-3 years of grad school composed of myself, my friend Jarrod Meadows [UAB MSTP alumni], two medical students, and a graduate student. We played at some of the local bars and music venues. It was an excellent way to relax and do non-school related activities. It\u2019s important to have other things you enjoy, especially during graduate school. The first two years [MS 1-2] are very social, and you feel supported because you\u2019re around your peers all the time. Grad school can be very isolating. I was fortunate because the Sweatt lab was large and I got along with everyone, which made managing the typical scientific struggles easier. On clerkships [MS 3-4], everyone is on different rotations, and you may have 1-2 students you know on your team, but it can also be kind of isolating. Having good outlets is essential. I also like food, beer, soccer, and working out.",

The company has an extensive network of branches throughout the UK and Vanda Coatings were asked to carry out signage fascia painting for the Reeds Rains outlet in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent.\nThe Reeds Rains signage consisted of logos which were on vinyl. This vinyl had been stuck on and wrapped around the whole fascia which spanned a width of 15-20 metres and was about 2 metres deep. The first stage of the project was to strip off all the vinyl using a heat lamp. Even after the vinyl had been removed our team found that the fascia surface was still sticky from the glue that had been used to attach it, so they used a special product to eliminate the residue. Since the fascia was high up off the ground, our Vanda team used a tower to reach the signage and they are PASMA trained accordingly. In fact, every one of our operatives has a PASMA certificate.\nAll the work was carried out during trading hours and our team were thoughtful in making sure that there was as little disruption as possible to the business, so Reeds Rains could continue operating as normal. A solution to having to mask off the window without hiding it was to drop clear sheeting over the glass. This enabled customers to see into the estate agents and because it didn\u2019t block out any light the staff were able to work in daylight as they would have normally.\nAfter the required areas were sheeted and masked off, the surface of the fascia was de-greased with a specialist de-greasing agent. It was then mechanically sanded down. This rubbing down generated some debris, so the surface was de-greased again before a few layers of top coat in dark blue were spray-applied. Finally, the plastic sheeting and masking tape was removed and the whole area tidied up. All in all our Vanda team took a day to strip the fascia back and another day for prepping followed by the signage fascia painting for Reeds Rains in Stoke-on-Trent. The resulting smart finish can be seen on the photos.",

        "raw_content": "\u2018Divergent\u2019s\u2019 Theo James a Fresh Hollywood Flame\nPolice Release New Photos From Kurt Cobain\u2019s Suicide\nGuitar master Link Wray, the father of the power chord in rock \u2018n\u2019 roll who inspired Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie and Pete Townshend, died Nov. 5 in Copenhagen. He was 76.\nWray, who played in his trademark leather jacket, developed a style considered the blueprint for heavy metal and punk music. He is best known for his 1958 instrumental \u201cRumble,\u201d 1959 \u201cRawhide\u201d and 1963 \u201cJack the Ripper.\u201d His music has been featured in movies including \u201cPulp Fiction,\u201d \u201cIndependence Day\u201d and \u201cPink Flamingoes.\u201d\nWray, who was born in North Carolina and is three-quarters Shawnee Indian, is said to have inspired many other rock musicians, including Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Steve Van Zandt.\n\u201cHe is the king; if it hadn\u2019t been for Link Wray and \u2018Rumble,\u2019 I would have never picked up a guitar,'\u201d Townshend wrote on one of Wray\u2019s albums. Neil Young once said: \u201cIf I could go back in time and see any band, it would be Link Wray and the Raymen.\u201d\nThe power chord \u2014 a thundering sound created by playing fifths (two notes five notes apart, often with the lower note doubled an octave above) \u2014 became a favorite among rock players. Wray claimed because he was too slow to be a whiz on the guitar, he had to invent sounds.\nWhen recording \u201cRumble,\u201d he created the fuzz tone by punching holes in his amplifiers to produce a dark, grumbling sound. It took off instantly, but it was banned by some deejays in big cities for seeming to suggest teen violence.\n\u201cI was looking for something that Chet Atkins wasn\u2019t doing, that all the jazz kings wasn\u2019t doing, that all the country pickers wasn\u2019t doing. I was looking for my own sound,\u201d Wray told The Associated Press in 2002.\nBorn Frederick Lincoln Wray Jr. in Dunn, N.C., his two brothers, Vernon and Doug, were also musicians. The three became a country hit as \u201cLucky Wray and the Palomino Ranch Hands.\u201d Later, after \u201cRumble,\u201d they became \u201cLink Wray and the Raymen,\u201d or Wraymen, as it was sometimes spelled. Later, the brothers\u2019 relationship soured after a dispute about the rights to \u201cRumble.\u201d\nIn 1978, he moved to Denmark and married Olive Julie Povlsen, who became his manager and played percussion with his band. He toured the United States and Canada since the mid-1990s, playing 40 shows this year. His final show was in July at Cruise Night in Glendale, Calif. In 2002, Guitar World magazine elected Wray one of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.\nHe is survived by his wife and son.",

        "raw_content": "A 411 on water\u2019s next drop\nBy: Abby Cohn, COE\nON TAP: Ari Olmos, a master's student in public policy at UC Berkeley, in the south India city of Hubli, where he helped implement NextDrop, a mobile phone\u2013based alert system that notifies residents when household water will be flowing in their taps. (NextDrop)\nIn the south India city of Hubli, turning on the tap is no easy task. Residents frequently skip work, postpone errands or keep children home from school in anticipation of the precious\u2014but notoriously unreliable\u2014arrival of water along urban pipelines. Missing a delivery can translate into days without household water.\n\u201cLiterally, people wait around their house until the water comes on,\u201d says Anu Sridharan (B.S.\u201909, M.S.\u201910 CEE). \u201cWe\u2019ve met people who\u2019ve missed weddings, funerals and meetings.\u201d\nSridharan is part of a Berkeley-based student team pursuing a novel\u2014but surprisingly simple\u2014fix to what is a common occurrence in the developing world. Their project, called NextDrop, deploys ubiquitous mobile phones to alert residents when water is flowing in a neighborhood.\nMobile phones \u201care everywhere,\u201d explains Emily Kumpel, a doctoral student in civil and environmental engineering and NextDrop team member. \u201cThey\u2019re a very easy way to get information to people.\u201d\nNextDrop, a first-place co-winner in UC Berkeley\u2019s 2010 Big Ideas competition, partnered with a local non-governmental organization last summer to begin a pilot study of some 200 households in Hubli.\nThe students recruited residents to form a mobile phone network in which participants called NextDrop when water arrived in their neighborhood. Once the call was received, NextDrop verified the information by contacting two other households, then generated cell phone messages to all participants served by the same water valve.\nEncouraged by preliminary results, NextDrop is refining and expanding the program. For instance, after discovering that many older residents are unfamiliar with text messaging, NextDrop is switching to an interactive voice response system that automatically alerts customers in their regional language of Kannada when the water is on.\nThe team recently partnered with the local water board to exchange information about water deliveries. NextDrop may charge a nominal monthly fee for water notification service and is already awarding micropayments to customers who are the first to alert them to water availability. By relying on such crowdsourcing, the students expect to keep charges low.\n\u201cThe technology itself is pretty simple,\u201d says Kumpel, whose team includes graduate students from Berkeley\u2019s School of Information and Goldman School of Public Policy as well as Stanford\u2019s M.B.A. program.\nIf successful, NextDrop\u2019s approach could have truly global applications. Water systems are unpredictable and intermittent in an estimated 90 percent of the cities in South Asia and a third of the cities in Latin America and Africa, the team estimates. \u201cIt seems like a service that could really work and have a pretty profound impact,\u201d says NextDrop member Ari Olmos, a master\u2019s student in public policy.\nNOT A DROP TO DRINK: NextDrop could be a useful service in an estimated 90 percent of the cities in South Asia and a third of the cities in Latin America and Africa, where water systems are unpredictable and intermittent. (NextDrop)\nTypically, people in Hubli receive water once every five to eight days through in-home or community taps. During the two to eight hours when the water is flowing, families spring into action. They fill pots, plastic jugs and every possible container with water. More prosperous households use rooftop or underground tanks. \u201cA lot of household chores happen when the water is there,\u201d says Kumpel, whose dissertation focuses on water quality in areas served by intermittent water supplies. \u201cYou save up dishes, laundry and all these tasks for when the water is on.\u201d\nWhen a family misses a delivery, they might borrow water from a neighbor or resort to unsafe well water, which carries the risk of water-borne pathogens. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of stress if you don\u2019t know when the water is coming and it\u2019s your job to collect it,\u201d says Sridharan, noting that duty often falls to the women in the household. \u201cThese women can\u2019t go out with their friends, go out to the market; they can\u2019t do anything.\u201d\nNextDrop got its start in fall 2009, when Kumpel and others won a competition in a School of Information class involving the use of information and communication technologies for international development. Their instructor, assistant professor Tapan Parikh, serves as the project\u2019s adviser.\nAlong with providing near real-time information about water delivery, NextDrop could alert other neighborhoods down the pipeline about forthcoming deliveries and inform residents when an expected delivery will be delayed.\nTeam members are seeking more funding to advance their project. Last year, they won grants from the Gates Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative in addition to an $8,000 award from the campus\u2019s Big Ideas program.\nFor NextDrop members, the project\u2019s stakes are big. \u201cIt\u2019s just mind blowing to me that people don\u2019t have access to this basic need,\u201d says Sridharan. \u201cIt\u2019s just a matter of closing an information gap.\u201d\nThe Big Ideas competition provides seed funding to Berkeley students working on innovative, high-impact proposals like NextDrop. Entries for the 2011 competition must be submitted by March 7.",

        "raw_content": "Flappy is a toy-controlled game of Flappy Bird that you can throw in frustration\nStephanie Carmichael\t March 10, 2014 1:39 PM\nAbove: Meet your new lovable pal, Flappy -- the star of Flappy Bird.\nImage Credit: ZowPow\nFlappy Bird is no longer just a two-dimensional sprite. It\u2019s now a plush toy that you can use to play the hit mobile game that disappeared from app stores last month.\nZowPow, the winner of GamesBeat 2013\u2019s Who\u2019s Got Game competition last October, is starting a crowdfunding project to get its own version of Dong Nguyen\u2019s mobile hit Flappy Bird on iOS and Android devices. In ZowPow\u2019s game (the app itself is free), Flappy Toy, players lift up a wireless, battery-powered plush replica of Flappy Bird\u2019s main character to control him onscreen. Moving him up and down in a flapping motion navigates him safely through an endless series of green pipes. That\u2019s one way to circumvent the tricky touchscreen controls that frustrated so many players.\nFlappy is still challenging, though, so ZowPow has designed the toy so you can take your frustrations out on it. It won\u2019t break even if you throw it.\nAbove: Now you don\u2019t have to smash your smartphone in anger.\n\u201cMy co-founder, Brian, and I are huge fans of Flappy Bird, so we decided to use our technology to make a wireless toy controller for the game,\u201d ZowPow\u2019s Jennifer Lu told GamesBeat. \u201cWe showed it to our friends and also to random people on the street. Everyone loved it and wanted one. So we figured we\u2019d create a crowdfunding campaign to make it available to everyone and sell it pretty much at cost, for $15.\u201d\nZowPow is asking for $25,000 in crowdfunding to make Flappy Toy happen. The campaign, which is available on the company\u2019s website, runs until April 8.\nOriginal Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen pulled the game from the iOS and Android app stores in February because it was too \u201caddictive.\u201d Nguyen was making about $50,000 a day in ad revenue from Flappy Bird, so it\u2019s not a surprise that another developer would want to cash in on that success while Flappy Bird fever is still hot. Since its removal, a number of mobile-game clones have appeared in its place.\nIn regard to potential legal ramifications, Lu said that ZowPow\u2019s version will be slightly different from the original Flappy Bird game. It\u2019s also making its SDK available to other developers so they can make their Flappy Bird-like clones work with the plush controller as well if they wish.\n\u201cWe\u2019re not really concerned,\u201d said Lu. \u201cThe changes are significant enough. We\u2019re really doing this for fun.\u201d\nIf crowdfunded, the company hopes to ship Flappy Toy in May.",

Now, Jezebel had threatened his life. She promised to kill him before twenty-four hours had passed. After seeing the miracles God had just performed, how could any human being think that they could do anything to one of God\u2019s chosen people? Even worse, after all Elijah had experienced, how could he possibly believe that God could not protect him from the threats of Jezebel? Is the God on the mountain not still God in the valley? Yes, He is! We want to spend our lives living mountain top experiences. We should take notice that there is very little life on the mountains above the timberline. The view is great and the atmosphere is exhilarating, but there is not enough dirt or oxygen to sustain life. The life-giving elements are down in the valley and we need to spend some time there as well. Elijah was having his valley experience, wallowing in self-pity, as we so often do. God said \u201cget up and eat\u201d. He was preparing Elijah for a journey that would take all of his strength. When God calls us to do a work, He always provides everything we need to accomplish the task. It is up to us to decide whether or not we are going to \u201ceat\u201d the spiritual food that will prepare us for the trip through the valley and to the next mountaintop.\nIf we don\u2019t eat the spiritual food God provides, the road will be rough and the journey will be miserable.

He speaks God\u2019s words, for God gives him the Spirit without limit. \u2013 John 3:34 NLT\n\u200bJohn continues to explain to his disciples who Jesus is and why he must decrease as Jesus increases. John\u2019s understanding of all of this is beyond human knowledge. He tells us that Jesus speaks God\u2019s words because God gives Him \u201cthe Spirit without limit\u201d. Jesus agrees with this statement:\nSo Jesus explained, \u201cI tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the\u200b \u200bFather doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.\u2013John 5:19 (NLT)\nJohn continues to explain that God has put everything into the hands of Jesus. Jesus also agrees with this statement:\n18 Jesus came and told his disciples, \u201cI have been given all authority in heaven and on earth\u2014Matt. 28:18 (NLT)\nThis is why Jesus could say \u201cyour sins are forgiven\u201d and \u201cthis day, you will be with me in paradise\u201d. When we accept this truth about Jesus, we are forgiven of our sins and on our way to heaven for eternity. But on the journey, we have a purpose and a work to do, just as John and Jesus did. The work could never get us to heaven, but it does get us rewarded when we get there. When God calls each of us to do a work, He enables us to do that work by the Holy Spirit. We have access to \u201cthe Spirit without limit\u201d. How much of that we receive is up to us. Just as we could not be saved without asking for and reaching out to accept the forgiveness, we cannot access the power of the Holy Spirit without asking for it and reaching out to accept it. Can we do the works that John and Jesus did? Jesus says we can:\n\u201cI tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.\u2014John 14:12 (NLT)\nAbundant Life, filled with the spirit, Uncategorized\teternity, forgiven, greater, heaven, journey, salvation, spiritual, superabundance\t0 Comments\n14 Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God\u2019s presence to stop fighting over words.

There will always be those times as long as we remain in these human bodies. When it comes to being tempted, we are very weak. Because Jesus went through the same temptations when He walked on this earth, He understands our failures. The devil will take those failures and beat us up over and over, telling us how we are no longer a child of God because we failed. But don\u2019t let those failures stop you from repenting. Just remember that guilt and condemnation come from the devil, who is a thief and a liar. Conviction comes from the Holy Spirit and calls us to the throne room of God where we can ask for and receive His forgiveness. We can be very sure that we will receive mercy and grace from our Father. We will receive this not because we have done anything to earn it, but simply because of what Jesus did for us at the Cross. Even right now, Jesus is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. The Father will not refuse anything that the Son ask from Him. So, hold on and press on because Jesus has paid the price.\nPost 1-3-2017\nConviction or Condemnation, Forgiveness, free, Uncategorized\tcondemnation, conviction, earth, free, guilt, interceding, journey, paid, temptation, weakness\t0 Comments",

        "raw_content": "Warm and Cool believes that the age of the electric car is now upon us. Given New Zealand's substantially green electricity, when combined with free electricity sourced from the Sun, we believe that we are on the point of a revolution in the way we commute to work, school and generally get about town.\nTechnological advances made over the past decade are now affordable to the average household resulting in real and significant savings in the cost of powering our lives \u2013 both at home and now on the road.\nWarm and Cool can assist you in obtaining a Nissan LEAF - the world\u2019s biggest selling electric vehicle (sourced directly from Japan), pairing it with electricity generated via Solar Panels allowing you to potentially save thousands of dollars annually on your vehicle running costs and enjoy the quiet smooth comfort of an electric vehicle.\nNot widely known is the dual functionality of the Nissan LEAF's battery. In December 2016 the cost of 5,000 watts of residential battery storage was approximately $10,000. Even the earliest model of LEAF has a battery capacity of 24,000 watts - a $50,000 value when compared to conventional battery storage. Warm and Cool can source via Japan, quality pre-owned Nissan LEAFs starting from $24,000 - less than half the cost of conventional batteries. Available soon, through technology developed in the UK, is the ability to feed electricity back into your house from an electric vehicle such as the LEAF. So in the evening you can achieve nearly 100% power savings through the marriage of solar electricity generated freely during the day and stored in the LEAF's battery for use at night!\nAt Warm and Cool we operate a Nissan LEAF as part of our vehicle fleet. It is charged from the electricity mains with support from z small solar system installed on our building in Kaikorai Valley Road. The total running cost, assuming a value of 25c per kW, over a 12 month period is around $10 a week. The true cost however with the solar support taken into consideration is nearer $6 a week, which is quite astounding when you consider the vehicle travels to and from Company Bay every weekday, around town during the day and sometimes weekend use as well.\nTalk to Warm and Cool today about solar for your home or business - you'll be impressed by the returns that can be achieved comapred to those on offer through a bank (even with a small $100 saving in power you save 15% on the GST component alone). Talk to us also about test driving one of these amazing electric vehicles - the switch to electricity from fossel fuels will happen much faster than most people realise.\nTest Drive or more info\nWhat is the Nissan LEAF?\nThe Nissan LEAF is a compact five door hatchback featuring everything you would expect from a modern family vehicle (air-conditioning, ABS brakes, electric mirrors, reversing camera) along with a generous amount of boot space. However, the Nissan LEAF isn\u2019t your normal run-of-the-mill hatchback.\nLEAF stands for Leading Environmentally friendly Affordable Family car and as of December 2015, the LEAF is the world's all-time best selling highway-capable all-electric car with more than 200,000 units sold worldwide. Yes that's right, the LEAF is an electric vehicle \u2013 it is powered by electricity and not petrol or diesel. But the key thing to remember about the Nissan LEAF is that it is still a car, with all the features you would expect, just like the car you drive today, only a little special in some very good ways.\nThe LEAF was won a number of international awards.\nElectric cars are about to become mainstream\nPlummeting battery prices over recent years means plug-in electric vehicles are poised to challenge fossil fueled vehicles in mainstream use.\nWhy an Electric Car?\nAn electric vehicle has a number of advantages over a traditional fossil fueled vehicle:\nRunning cost \u2013 avoid ever fluctuating petrol prices and run your vehicle on cheap electricity. Take advantage of cheap night rate electricity or charge on-demand when required. Alternatively combine with Solar Panels and run your car on free electricity from the Sun! Every dollar saved at the petrol pump is worth more when you factor in the income tax paid in earning that dollar.\nConvenience \u2013 the battery in an electric vehicle is charged just like your laptop or cellphone. Simply plug it in at home or at work and it starts charging, ready for your next journey. Trips to the petrol station become a thing of the past.\nPerformance \u2013 electric vehicles offer a very smooth driving experience with excellent performance \u2013 the Nissan LEAF has a top speed of 150km/h and features excellent acceleration and torque.\nMaintenance cost \u2013 forget oil, coolant, air-filter and anti-freeze changes or replacing timing and CAM belts. Electric motors are very simple compared to the internal combustion engine that powers conventional vehicles. There is very little to service and much less that can breakdown resulting in unexpected expense.\nClean & green \u2013 an electric vehicle has zero emissions (no greenhouse or toxic exhaust fumes) and is powered by renewable energy (80% of New Zealand\u2019s electricity is generated via renewable sources \u2013 hydro, wind, solar).\nQuiet \u2013 electric vehicles are very quiet. The benefit of quiet running needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated.\nHow does the LEAF work?\nInstead of a petrol powered internal combustion engine (the technology that has powered motor vehicles for more than a century), the Nissan LEAF has an electric motor that is powered by a battery. In comparison to the internal combustion engine, an electric motor is much simpler with fewer components that need to be serviced or that can fail.\nThe LEAF\u2019s battery is placed out of sight beneath the car\u2019s floor giving the vehicle a low centre of gravity while also increasing structural rigidity \u2013 both beneficial safety features.\nCharging the LEAF\u2019s battery involves simply plugging a power cord into one of its two charging ports. One port is designed for home 240 volt power and when paired with a home charging unit (requires a 15 amp charging cable and a 15 amp wall socket) will recharge the battery from 0% to 100% in as little as 4 hours. Alternatively the supplied cable can be plugged into a standard domestic wall socket and recharge from 0% to 100% in under 12 hours. The second charging port is the fastest charging option and is designed for use with high voltage DC public charging stations that can charge the battery from 0% to 80% capacity in approximately 30 minutes. The LEAF's battery is designed for a long useful life - Nissan states that after ten years of use it should retain 80% of its initial capacity.\nAlso while driving, the LEAF uses a technology called Regenerative Braking which uses energy collected during normal braking procedures to recharge the battery.\nThe LEAF has a driving range of 80 to 120 km on a full battery charge depending on the terrain being driven. This range makes the LEAF the ideal commuter and around town vehicle for most families.\nPurchasing an imported Nissan LEAF\nQuality pre-owned Nissan LEAFs can be delivered for between $20,000 and $30,000 (price varies depending on specific model and year). These recent model imported cars feature quality batteries with the majority of their life still remaining.\nLet Warm and Cool arrange a test drive and you can experience the difference that electric vehicle ownership brings \u2013 not only to your bank account but also to the driving experience in general.\nAward winning technology and performance\nWhen launched this vehicle's technology innovation was recognised in the following awards:\n2011\u201312 Japanese Car of the Year\nIn 2016 this technology has proven itself and the LEAF is now the world's highest selling electric vehicle and now available in New Zealand in an affordable solar plus vehicle package.\nContact us for a Test Drive or More Information\nFor a test drive or more information please contact the Warm and Cool sales team:\nI would like a test drive",

Losing Tom Lineham [sin bin] with 12 minutes to go was a turning point and we couldn\u2019t pull back the big wave from Wigan and they scored a few tries in quick succession which flattened us in the end.\nI\u2019m really proud of the guys up until that point. We had a fair few troops missing tonight and it was a good opportunity for some of the younger lads.\n[On the period following Sam Tomkins\u2019 sin bin] We could have managed the game a bit better and executed a few plays. We had two new halves and a lot of different personnel but we could have done better. They certainly handled having 12 men a lot better than what we did. We\u2019ve got a bit of work to do and hopefully we can get a few blokes back for next week.\nI\u2019m really proud of Luis Johnson\u2019s effort tonight. I thought he had a great debut against a quality footy team.\nHe saved that try [from Oliver Gildart] towards the end. For a 19-year-old on debut against a quality football team is exciting times.\nEvery player that pulls on the Wire jersey we expect them to compete hard and have a real crack at it and he did that tonight. There are still a lot of areas he needs to improve on and he\u2019ll do that over time and with another full pre-season. It was a good debut from him.\nHe\u2019s played more in the middle in the last four weeks for the Under 19s but was more of an edge player growing up. I decided to put him in the middle for the Academy team to work him harder and his game is progressing as a result.",

        "title": "Sustainable Literacy Center -- School Planning & Management",
        "raw_content": "Sustainable Literacy Center\nBy Michael Corb\nGreen schools are becoming increasingly popular among school districts seeking a way to decrease operational costs, while promoting healthy learning environments for students and teachers. The U.S. Green Building Council estimates that if all new school construction and school renovations went green starting today, energy savings alone would total more than $20B over the next 10 years. In addition to cutting costs, green schools are also the safest environment for children to learn in. Further, studies show that good indoor air quality improves health, which results in higher attendance rates. While green building is undoubtedly a tremendous step forward for school districts, it is also a significant process that schools should fully understand and be comfortable with in order to maximize the benefits.\nWhen the Springfield School District, in Delaware County, PA, decided to build a literacy center for its kindergarten and first grade classes, they had many goals in mind. Most importantly, they wanted to build a sustainable facility that fostered individual educational needs. The school district had set an impressive goal of 100 percent literacy by the fourth grade for its students. To achieve their goal, they developed an intervention plan that assesses the strengths and weaknesses of each student and offers them personalized instruction on an as-needed basis to ensure that each student is meeting their unique learning potential.\nThe district realized the importance of a learning facility that would serve as more than just a traditional classroom. A major element of this unique curriculum calls for individualized instruction as well as project-based learning. It was also essential that the building be a reflection of the community, as it would be the first new building in 50 years.\nSpringfield School District Superintendent Dr. James Capolupo began researching this project and established some distinct requirements. He wanted a green learning facility that would double as teaching tool. He also wanted a building that the community could be proud of.\n\u201cThis was the first new building in 50 years, and we felt it was crucial to do it right,\u201d said Dr. Capolupo. \u201cWe want to teach children about the future and instill in them the importance of protecting the future so that when they are leaders one day, they will make the same conscious choices.\u201d\nIn 2006, the Springfield School District commissioned Burt Hill to design a literacy center that would respond specifically to the need for varying types of learning styles and group sizes while maintaining sustainability. Of course, the district also expected a building that would inspire children and teachers and promote a healthy learning environment.\nInitially, the design team and the school administration met with community stakeholders to gather input during the pre-design and planning design phases. The team conducted discovery sessions that consisted of public forums and presentations. The community responded enthusiastically to the recommendation for fully integrated building technology that would connect students to a \u201cflat world.\u201d The team proposed playful elements, such as alphabet walks and play areas embedded with strong literacy themes, which were well received and incorporated into the final design.\nPerformance Analysis and Energy Models\nAfter collecting the community data, the design team then met internally to conduct a pre-design sustainability charrette before the project even began, to weigh all of the available options. In addition to the designers, members of Burt Hill\u2019s Performance Analysis team were included in early meeting stages. The Performance Analysis team works with architects, engineers, and clients to integrate advanced energy analysis within the design process. They apply engineering models and computer simulations to the development of innovative designs and integrated building systems. Once there was a clear idea of the school\u2019s sustainable capabilities, a formal meeting was held with the school administration to discuss sustainable design and the LEED process.\nWhen the district determined it would pursue LEED certification, the analysis team used a cutting-edge software program from Integrated Environmental Solutions Limited (IES) called Virtual Environment (<VE>) to perform daylight analysis, dynamic thermal simulations, and other relevant studies to help make more informed decisions with regard to building design and performance. The team demonstrated progress by coordinating the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, which directly imported the architectural design model created in Autodesk Revit into the energy modeling software. \u201cThrough this integrated design process we were able to incorporate results from the energy model early on and compare alternatives,\u201d said Matthew Rooke, AIA, LEED AP, associate on Burt Hill\u2019s Performance Analysis Team. \u201cThis will ultimately help decrease energy costs in the long run.\u201d\nThe building site itself presented certain constraints that influenced design, particularly in the area of daylighting, which was an especially important element of this project. Daylighting analysis consisted of identifying the glazing size, type, and shape options while the energy picture was assessed based on the same parameters. Also, the influence of the wall assemblies and natural ventilation options were evaluated. The energy analysis scrutinized how alterations to the different parameters would affect changes. The building modeling proved to be an easier and a more accurate way of determining how big the windows should be and where they should be, in terms of orientation and location, to achieve the most effective daylight levels for student activities.\nThere were certain situations where small changes in the design were made to improve the overall outcome. For instance, the Literacy Center\u2019s original design incorporated a bank of floor-to-ceiling windows in each classroom. After the intensive analysis showed that this would not meet the school\u2019s goals for student experience due to high light levels and glare, an alternative design was pursued. The alternative design consisted of removing a section of window at the floor level and inserting smaller windows in another section of the wall, which would limit glare while still allowing for natural daylight.\nThe Performance Analysis Team also explored the use and position of external shading devices and light shelves. The software simulation indicated that light shelves needed to be added to specific windows where the analysis detected a potential glare or overheating issue. The glazing was also assessed to balance the desire for transparency without significantly sacrificing the building\u2019s thermal performance. Furthermore, an increased level of insulation in the wall was needed to improve the overall energy efficiency. The thermal analysis examined heat losses and gains in order to avoid summertime overheating while minimizing the cost of heating in the winter.\nOne of the most obvious and alluring benefits to building sustainably is the financial aspect. It is estimated that the building will use 26 percent less energy than a similar baseline facility. In terms of the HVAC systems, a payback analysis shows payback in approximately seven years.\nWhile the financial rewards of this project are undoubtedly valuable, the true goal of the Literacy Center is to provide the best environment possible for children to learn in. The mission of the Springfield School District is to \u201cempower students to achieve their individual potential and inspire them to become ethical and contributing citizens.\u201d Thus it is fitting that students will learn environmental stewardship through the building\u2019s sustainable design features. Elements of the geothermal heating, biofiltration, daylighting, and green roof systems will be displayed, explained, and experienced to further support learning.\nThese green design elements directly tie in with the open, natural environment of the Center\u2019s classrooms. It was a goal of both the design team and the school district to have students become immediately immersed in a tranquil world of reading, instruction, and the act of learning. Nature is another underlying theme to the building, which is nestled amidst a grove of trees. Learning environments also span freely from inside to outside in order to encourage students\u2019 various needs and preferences. The building is designed for flexibility to accommodate changing needs and technology so that the building will grow with its students.\nThe ample benefits to sustainable design are undeniably appealing. This building is a genuine example of a green facility that is changing the future of education. As more schools realize the importance of building green, hopefully the innovative design and communication techniques used throughout this building will be tools that guide future projects to ensure that we continue to move forward.\nThe Springfield Literacy Center is scheduled to open for student occupancy in December of 2009.\nMichael Corb is a Senior Associate AIA at Burt Hill in Butler, PA.",

        "raw_content": "National Alliance for Hispanic Health to Raise Awareness About Anaphylaxis\nWashington, DC \u2013 \u201cSevere allergic reactions are serious, and they can be life-threatening if not treated immediately. Hispanics need to know what anaphylaxis is, how to prevent it, and above all, what to do if they or their children have an anaphylactic reaction. It can mean the difference between life and death,\u201d said Dr. Jane L. Delgado, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health (the Alliance).\nThe Alliance is encouraging parents to learn how to make sure their children are safe in school if they have allergies and that their child\u2019s school and after-school programs are prepared in the case a child has a severe allergic reaction. Parents can visit the Alliance website (www.hispanichealth.org) to learn what policies their state has in effect to respond to anaphylaxis in schools. Parents can also call the Alliance\u2019s toll- free and bilingual Su Familia Helpline at 1-866-783-2645 to talk to a health promotion advisor to get answers to their questions about anaphylaxis and referrals to health resources in their communities.\nTo help parents, the Alliance is also making available the bilingual publication Let\u2019s Talk About Anaphylaxis. The resource covers the basics about anaphylaxis, risk factors, treatment, steps families may take to protect their children, and recent federal guidelines to ensure children are protected at school. Parents can get a free copy of the book by calling 1-866-783-2645 or download a free e-book copy at www.hispanichealth.org. The book is also available as an ebook on Amazon and iTunes.\n\u201cWith this bilingual resource, through our website, and support on our helpline, we hope to help all parents make sure their children are safe in school and at their after school activities,\u201d said Dr. Delgado.\nThe support being offered by the Alliance is made possible through a sponsorship from Mylan Specialty L.P.\n\u201cWe are committed to furthering education and dialogue about anaphylaxis in Hispanic communities across the nation,\u201d said Roger D. Graham, Jr., president of Mylan Specialty. \u201cMylan Specialty is proud to support the Alliance in their efforts to help Hispanics recognize the signs and symptoms of a life-threatening allergic reaction and understand how to respond if anaphylaxis occurs.\u201d\nThe Alliance is the nation\u2019s foremost science-based source of information and trusted advocate for the health of Hispanics in the United States.

        "raw_content": "Counsel for Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, Lockerbie bombing convict\nWilliam 'Bill' Taylor QC has been a Scottish advocate since 1971 and a Queen's Counsel since 1986. Bill Taylor has also been a barrister in England and Wales since 1990 and a QC there since 1998, the first Queen's Counsel to have held the position in England, Wales and Scotland.\nBill Taylor has specialised in criminal defence work since the 1980s, and defended Abdelbaset al-Megrahi at the Lockerbie bombing trial held in 2000 at Camp Zeist in the Netherlands. Taylor also represented Megrahi at his failed appeal against conviction (January to March 2002).[1]\n2 Lockerbie trial and appeal\n3 SCCRC\n4 Lord Fraser's remarks\n5 Lockerbie: Heathrow connection\nBill Taylor was born in Aberdeenshire, and attended Gordonstoun public school after winning a scholarship based on academic achievement. Taylor gained his first degree from the University of Aberdeen, graduating with an M.A. (Hons) in Philosophy, and completed his studies with an LL.B in Criminal Law.\nIn December 2006, Bill Taylor tied the knot with his long-term partner William Roe in a civil partnership ceremony. Taylor, who divorced his wife of nine years in 1980, is chairman of Scottish Opera while his partner chairs Highlands and Islands Enterprise.[2]\nLockerbie trial and appeal\nBill Taylor QC acted as Senior Counsel for Abdelbaset al-Megrahi during the Lockerbie bombing trial at Camp Zeist in the Netherlands from May 2000 to January 2001, and at Megrahi's appeal against conviction the following year. Taylor, leading the defence, said at the appeal's opening on 23 January 2002 that the three trial Judges sitting without a jury had failed to see the relevance of \"significant\" evidence and had accepted unreliable facts. He argued that the verdict was not one that a reasonable jury in an ordinary trial could have reached if it were given proper directions by the Judge. The grounds of the appeal rested on two areas of evidence where the defence claimed the original court was mistaken: the evidence of Maltese shopkeeper, Tony Gauci, which the Judges accepted as sufficient to prove that the \"primary suitcase\" started its journey in Malta; and, disputing the prosecution's case, fresh evidence would be adduced to show that the bomb's journey actually started at Heathrow.[3] Security guard Ray Manly's evidence, which was not heard at the trial, showed that at some time in the two hours before 00:35 on 21 December 1988 a padlock had been forced on a secure door giving access air-side in Terminal 3 of Heathrow airport, near to the area referred to at the trial as the \"baggage build-up area\". Taylor claimed that the Pan Am 103 bomb could have been planted then.[4]\nOn 14 March 2002 it took Lord Cullen less than three minutes to deliver the decision of the High Court of Justiciary. The five Judges rejected the appeal, ruling unanimously that \"none of the grounds of appeal was well-founded\", adding \"this brings proceedings to an end\". The following day, a helicopter took Megrahi from Camp Zeist to continue his life sentence in Barlinnie Prison, Glasgow.\nSCCRC\nBill Taylor was reappointed Commissioner at the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission by Royal Warrant from 1 January 2002 for a further fixed term of four years expiring on 31 December 2005. However, he undertook to resign immediately from the SCCRC if his former client Megrahi were to apply to the Commission for a review of the case. Megrahi applied on 23 September 2003 and Taylor duly resigned on the same day. In a tribute to one of the founding Commissioners, the SCCRC chairman said:\n\"The Commission greatly values the service which Mr Taylor has given to the Commission over the past four years. I understand and appreciate Mr Taylor's position in deciding to take this course of action.\"\nLord Fraser's remarks\nAs reported in The Sunday Times of 23 October 2005, the former Lord Advocate Lord Fraser of Carmyllie, who initiated the Lockerbie prosecution, said of the main prosecution witness at the Lockerbie trial, Tony Gauci:\n\"Gauci was not quite the full shilling. I think even his family would say (that he) was an apple short of a picnic. He was quite a tricky guy. I don't think he was deliberately lying but if you asked him the same question three times he would just get irritated and refuse to answer.\"\nFraser added:\n\"I wasn't particularly impressed with his (Abdelbaset al-Megrahi) defence: their techniques of muddle and confusion can work for a jury but it doesn't work for three Judges.\"\nAsked for his reaction, Bill Taylor said Fraser should never have presented Gauci as a Crown witness:\n\"A man who has a public office, who is prosecuting in the criminal courts in Scotland, has got a duty to put forward evidence based upon people he considers to be reliable. He was prepared to advance Gauci as a witness of truth in terms of identification and, if he had these misgivings about him, they should have surfaced at the time. The fact that he is coming out many years later after my former client has been in prison for nearly four and a half years is nothing short of disgraceful. Gauci's evidence was absolutely central to the conviction and for Peter Fraser not to realise that is scandalous.\"\nLockerbie: Heathrow connection\nIn January 2015, Lockerbie campaigner Barry Walker recalled a Private Eye story of 2001 summarising Bill Taylor's closing submissions at the Camp Zeist trial. According to Walker: \"It is quite remarkable in that Private Eye, who to their credit had kept the Lockerbie issue alive, actually published a Lockerbie story that was true!\"\nA disturbing theme emerged from the closing submission of Bill Taylor QC, counsel for one of the Libyans accused of murdering 270 people in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing. Taylor had already made much of the failure of the prosecution to establish the central point of its case: that the suitcase with the bomb was put on a plane in Malta. In his final speech, however, he argued that the bomb was put on the doomed flight at London's Heathrow. He argued the case systematically, making 20 separate points and pointing out that a terrorist who wanted to destroy the plane was more likely to put it on its final flight for New York rather than on feeder flights from Frankfurt or Malta.\nTaylor could prove easily that security at Heathrow in December 1988 was abysmal. There were at least three places from where a suitcase could be smuggled on to the Pan Am flight without being picked up by airline staff. The container with baggage for the flight was left completely unattended for three quarters of an hour.\nTaylor's most powerful point was his third namely that 'a brown Samsonite was introduced into that part of the container at the interline area at Heathrow airport'. This was highly relevant since everyone agreed that the bomb that destroyed the plane had been packed in a brown Samsonite case. Taylor's main evidence came from John Bedford, a baggage loader at Heathrow airport, who was interviewed soon after the bombing. Bedford then gave evidence at the initial Fatal Accident Inquiry in 1991, which was referred to extensively by Bill Taylor. He was asked:\nQ. Can you recall whether on 21 December 1988 any of the luggage that you dealt with or saw at the interline shed destined for Pan Am Flight 103 was a bronze Samsonite case?\nQ. Did you see a bronze Samsonite case?\nA. A maroony-brown Samsonite case, yes.\nTaylor went on to deal in detail with the complicated evidence about the position of the loaded bags in the plane. He concluded that the Samsonite case had been loaded into the plane in almost exactly the position occupied by the suitcase from which the bomb eventually exploded. Taylor also established that there was no other Samsonite bag in the plane. (This claim is untrue \u2013 there were other Samsonites on the plane and in container AVE4041. No hardshell bronze Samsonite, other than the primary suitcase, was recovered). Mr Bedford was called by the Crown as a reliable witness. There seemed no reason why he should invent the story of the mysterious Samsonite case which appeared as though by magic in the container of luggage for flight 103.\nIf the case with the bomb did go on the plane at Heathrow, the consequences for those in charge of the airport at the time are very severe. But what is beyond dispute is that if anyone did put a bag with a bomb on the plane at Heathrow it could not have been either of the two defendants.\nThis is an excellent summary of the argument that the primary suitcase was introduced at Heathrow, save that one vital point was omitted. In the official version of events, the position of the primary suitcase, in very close proximity to the aircraft's hull, was supposedly quite fortuitous. Otherwise the story was essentially a summary of points I had made to Alastair Duff a year earlier. (and post-Camp Zeist to Mr McKechnie.) It had of course been in the public domain since the 1991 publication of David Lepppard's \u201cOn the Trail of Terror\u201d.\nCuriously at Megrahi's first appeal, Bill Taylor raised the matter of the non-disclosure of the statement of a Heathrow Security Officer Ray Manly who had reported that a padlock on a door leading to the Interline baggage shed had been forced open on the eve of the bombing.[5] In conceding (for reasons unknown) that there was sufficient evidence to convict Megrahi, Taylor did not raise the Heathrow evidence or their Lordships' speculation that the \u201cBedford suitcase\u201d had been moved \u201cout of harm's way to some far corner of the container\u201d (Judgement para.69). If this had occurred the suitcase would have been recovered and linked to a specific passenger and in the official version of events the \u201cBedford suitcase\u201d was never linked to a specific passenger.\nThere is no byline to the Private Eye story so the author is unknown. It might actually have been John Ashton! I had written to Paul Foot in 1996 pointing out the primary suitcase was introduced at Heathrow and, while I received a supposed acknowledgment, I doubt he actually read my letter. While Foot's pamphlet \u201cFlight from Justice\u201d was an effective critique of the Camp Zeist verdict (shooting fish in a barrel), Foot never advanced a coherent or credible account of what actually happened.[6]\n\u2191 \"William J.

        "raw_content": "1812 Chalmers\u2019 Biography / G / Rene Du Guay-Trouin (France; 1673\u20131736) [vol. 16, p. 429]\nGuay-Trouin, Rene Du\n, a French naval officer, born at St. Malo in 1673, was the son of a merchant who had been French consul at Malaga, and who commanded armed vessels, either for war or trade, as circumstances required. Young Du Guay, led by his example, went on board a privateer, and performed a number of heroic actions. In 1691, when he was only in his eighteenth year, he had the command of an armed sloop, carrying fourteen guns, with which he obtained much success on the coast of Ireland. Three years after he entered the river of Limerick, and carried off several vessels but falling in with four English ships, he was obliged to yield, and was taken a prisoner into Plymouth. In confinement he won the aifootions of a female, who enabled him to make his escape, and in a short time he appeared again on the coast of England, where he captured some prizes. In 1695 he took three | rich vessels on the Irish coast, and two Dutch ships on th coast of Spain: these successes were followed by others still more important. In 1696 he fell in with baron de Wassenaer, who with three ships was escorting a fleet of merchant-men, and took the baron with a part of his convoy. He presented, in person, his prisoner to the king, and thereupon was removed to the royal navy, and appointed to the command of a frigate. In a few years afterwards he was made captain of a fifty-four gun ship, with which, it is said, he took an English man-of-war of seventytwo gnus. So brilliant was his career of success, that in 1709 he was rewarded with letters of noblesse, the preamble to which records his having captured more than 300 merchant ships, and 20 ships of war. The most important f all his exploits was the taking of Rio Janeiro in 1711, which occasioned a loss to the Portuguese of at least a million sterling. A pension was now forced on him, he having in 1707 refused one that was then offered, requesting that it might be granted to his second captain, whose thigh had been shot off. \u201cI,\u201d said the gallant officer, \u201cam sufficiently rewarded, if I obtain the advancement of my friends. 7 ' In 1728 he was made commander of the order of St. Louis, and lieutenant-general, and in 1731 went at the head of a squadron to curb the insolence of Algiers and Tunis, and promote a good understanding between France and Tripoli. After many other important services, he died at Paris Sept. 27, 1736, leaving\u201d Memoirs,\" partly written by his own hand, and partly by a nephew, which were printed in one vol. 4to. 1740. 1\nMoreri in Trouin. \u2014Dict.

        "raw_content": "Today I faced the program that I was dreading. I'd managed to get out of it all semester, but I knew it would be inevitable today... I would have to face my fear and go do an after-school storytime at a local enrichment program. Now, normally I would not be scared of a school-age storytime. Normally, I would be excited about such a prospect. But this group in particular has a reputation for being a tough crowd. I mean, it's 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. I totally can't blame them. At 4:30 on a Friday, I'm longing to go home, so I can imagine how they feel.\nToday's program didn't go badly, though. It actually went pretty well. I hesitate to attribute that to my superior programming skills (ha!) and I'm sure it had more to do with the combination of kids that was there and the fact that the grownups actually sat and listened with them. But still, it went well and I need to record that fact so that next month when I'm dreading this program again, I can look back and remember that it's nothing to be scared of.\nThe group: It is a mix of kindergarteners through 4th or 5th grade. Today we had 13 kids, but that varies, too. The enrichment program meets after school at a local elementary school (actually 4 local schools and each of the full-time staff members in my department is assigned to a school). When I was in elementary school, I went to an after school program that was similar, I think. All I wanted to do was sit there and read until my mom picked me up.\nWolf! Wolf! by John Rocco\nI'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry\nWait! I Want to Tell You a Story! by Tom Willans\nMore True Lies by George Shannon\nNow. Here's what I did with them. Wolf! Wolf! is a retelling of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. I just read that one. With ITBTITO and WIWTTYAS, I made short MadLibs versions. This went over pretty well. I took a short passage from each book (or made up a passage that was similar to what happened in the book). I wrote out the passage on a piece of paper, taking out words occasionally and leaving blanks. Then I took a piece of construction paper and used an X-acto knife to cut out boxes where the blanks were on the paper (it's not as hard as it sounds). The goal is that when you're done, you can lay the construction paper on top of the sheet and just see the blanks. I laminated the bottom sheet so it's reusable. I had the kids volunteer if they wanted to put a word in and gave everyone a chance to say one if they wanted. I wrote the words in with dry erase marker and then read the wacky story to them when they'd filled in all the blanks. (The best thing is that they're reusable, so we can use them with other groups...)\nOf course, it's probably way easier to just buy a real MadLibs pad from your local bookstore. But this way, each MadLib had something to do with the story I was reading. The kids were remarkably good at thinking of funny words to put in the story and I think that they all got into it, though some were definitely more enthusiastic than others.\nMore True Lies was the most popular item, I believe. There are a bunch of books by this author that are all similar in nature. They are collections of short stories that have some kind of a riddle or a trick to them that you have to figure out. The answer is provided on the next page. I thought I would only read one or two of them, but I ended up reading all four that I had marked and then let two of the kids pick out two more and read them to the group. Other books by George Shannon include True Lies, Stories to Solve, and More Stories to Solve. I'm thinking Encyclopedia Brown books or something like Two Minute Mysteries (also by Donald J. Sobol) might be similarly popular. I'll try 'em out and let you know.\nThe kids wanted more stories to solve, so I'll definitely bring them back next time. They asked for something different than MadLibs, so I'll have to rack my brains to think of something entertaining...\nLabels: programs, school age, storytime\nprograms|school age|storytime|",

        "raw_content": "New space race concentrates on Mars, extraterrestrial life\nMonday 23 February 2015 1:15PM\nImage: The United Launch Alliance Delta 4 rocket carrying NASA's first Orion deep space exploration craft takes off from its launchpad on December 5, 2014 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. (Joe Raedle/Getty Images)\nSpace is more crowded than ever, with an increasing number of nations and corporations getting involved with the exploration of the solar system. Yet despite the diversity of participants, many players have a common goal: the search for life. Erica Vowles investigates.\nAdelaide-born astronaut Andy Thomas is one of only 500 or so people who know what it is like to be blasted into space. He says it is a breathtaking experience.\n\u2018You have this amazing ride on this incredible vehicle which, when you approach it on the day of launch, just seethes with energy. You can just feel the immensity of that power and that energy as you sit on your back waiting for the launch countdown to proceed.\nI don't see a specific destination as the most important thing, but rather this ability to live further and further from Earth and figuring out how to pioneer space, to be able to stay there for long periods of time.\nJason Crusan, NASA\n\u2018You feel everything start shaking and you can see the launch tower rush by the window as you leap off the Earth and you see clouds rush by the window. You can watch the sky slowly darken from blue to purple and eventually to black as you leave the upper atmosphere, travelling at this phenomenal speed.\n\u2018Then just eight and a half minutes after you've left the launch pad and had the ride of your life, the engines shut down, it all gets quiet, and any loose objects in the cabin just start floating around you and you are there in space, travelling at 30,000 kilometres an hour.\u2019\nAssessing the spend\nWhile the experience of going to space and living there for long periods has been life changing for Thomas, he remains realistic about the costs and risks associated with space exploration. He concedes that NASA\u2019s state goal of getting humans to Mars by the 2030s may be too expensive to be realised.\nAccording to Thomas, the agency needs to re-examine its funding model for projects like the Orion deep exploration space craft, which is currently in development.\n\u2018NASA uses a structure called cost-plus-fixed-fee where contractors get a fee based on how much money they spend. So they are obviously dis-incentivised to reduce costs because it reduces their fee.\n\u2018I think that is not a good paradigm if we are to go forward with reasonable costs for some of these missions. A mission to Mars, by some people's estimates, is going to be $1 trillion. Well, that's simply unsustainable. There is no government agency or collection of government agencies that's going to be willing to spend that much money.\u2019\nThomas believes an alternative funding scheme that NASA has begun trialling, which involves contracting corporations like Space X and Orbital Sciences to ferry cargo to the International Space Station, is a positive sign.\n\u2018The commercial provider makes a substantial investment, and NASA essentially buys a service,\u2019 he says. \u2018Those vehicles eventually are planned to be human-rated so that they can actually carry humans to the space station, hopefully with much lower costs than we were able to achieve with the shuttle.\u2019\nTo boldly go everywhere\nWhile many people are fixated on the goal of reaching the nearby planet of Mars, NASA's head of advanced exploration systems, Jason Crusan, sees things a little differently.\n\u2018I don't see a specific destination as the most important thing, but rather this ability to live further and further from Earth and figuring out how to pioneer space, to be able to stay there for long periods of time,\u2019 he says.\n\u2018Maybe that's my own influence as a child growing up. Most of the sci-fi which you watched at the time\u2014Star Trek and Star Wars type stuff\u2014to me that was about how do you have this group of individuals living off the planet that is literally the explorers and the pioneers like we used to have.\u2019\nAside from the astronomical cost that would be involved with any Mars mission, there are still many technical hurdles to overcome. For instance, Andy Thomas says no one really has really worked out how to actually land on Mars.\n\u2018The entry, descent and landing problem of Mars, what we call the EDL problem, is a big challenge because Mars does have an atmosphere. Not much of an atmosphere, but it's just enough that you have to deal with it, but it's not enough that it lets you use parachutes to slow the vehicle down and land, like capsules did here on Earth.\n\u2018So you have to do some kind of aerodynamic capture into the atmosphere, which is an entering into the atmosphere with aerodynamic heating. Then you need some kind of propulsion system that can be engaged once the aerodynamic heating has stopped to slow the vehicle down and bring it to the surface.\n\u2018That is actually a very big technical challenge for a vehicle that is likely to be of a size that is necessary to carry humans, which would be something in the 30 to 40 tonne range.\u2019\nA robotic solution\nWhile scientists try and solve the EDL problem, some argue that a sensible initial Mars mission could involve sending astronauts to orbit around the planet or one of its moons. The astronauts could then use something called tele-robotic technology to get around their inability to land on the planet.\nAstronomer Jack Burns, a professor of astrophysics at the University of Colorado in Boulder, conducted a tele-robotics experiment in 2013 which saw astronauts on the International Space Station remotely operate rovers at the NASA Ames Centre in California.\nProfessor Burns wants NASA to send astronauts to the far side of the moon in the early 2020s so that a new low-frequency radio telescope can be laid down using robots operated remotely from a nearby spacecraft.\n\u2018I am most interested in utilising the far side of the Moon as the only pristine radio-quiet environment in our solar system, so that we are able to probe very weak signals coming from the first stars and galaxies that happen to radiate at very low radio frequencies,\u2019 he says.\n\u2018My geology colleagues would also very much like to explore some unique areas of the far side of the Moon, an area in particular called the South Pole\u2013Aitken basin, which is the oldest impact basin in the inner solar system. This basin was carved out by a huge meteor impact about 4.3 billion years ago when the solar system was still very fresh and new and the Earth-Moon system had just recently formed.\n\u2018This is the time where the first beginnings of life on the Earth were starting to happen. One of the interesting questions is impacts like this that occurred in the South Pole\u2013Aitken basin were also happening on the Earth at the same time, did those stir the pot and maybe help with the early formation of life on our planet?\u2019\nImage: The International Space Station, showing the docked space shuttle Endeavour. (ESA)\nProfessor Burns says if such a mission to the moon took place in the early 2020s, it could be a stepping stone towards an eventual manned mission to Mars in the last 2030s.\n\u2018If we had the capability to send unmanned spacecraft with robotic rovers ahead of time to land on the surface, when the astronauts arrive they will have basically a small fleet of explorers, of computer operated explorers that they can directly control from space.\u2019\nCurrently, the controllers at NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California have to be very cautious when operating rovers on Mars, as the distances between Earth and the Red Planet mean the communication time lag can be anywhere from eight to 40 minutes. This lag time would shrink to less than half a second if NASA could send astronauts to orbit around the planet.\nNASA\u2019s Jason Crusan argues that if such a mission were successful, the amount of scientific investigation that could be conducted on Mars would be phenomenally sped up.\n\u2018The science community has actively pointed out that even with our Curiosity rover, which is the most capable rover we've sent to Mars, the science and analysis and traverse that it's done in its long period of time that it's already been on the surface could have been done by an astronaut in a matter of less than a day, and this has been done over the period of years.\u2019\nUntil commercial operators like Space X and Orbital Sciences develop the capability to send humans into space, NASA remains Earthbound and dependent on Russia to send its astronauts to the ISS. Russia is not the only nation that can launch humans into space, however. In October 2003, China became the third nation to independently launch an astronaut into space. Other countries are keen to follow.\nSydney-based Space analyst Dr Morris Jones says that new space rivalries are emerging in the Asia Pacific region, and these could have implications for the volume of science conducted in space and the push to land humans on the Moon and Mars.\n\u2018I think it is beyond question that now we are already well into an Asian space race, and that Asian space race is going to get very hot over the decade ahead,\u2019 says Dr Morris. \u2018China has been launching satellites since the 1970s, and for most of the history of the Chinese space program, they've had a very low profile.\n\u2018That really changed around about the turn of the century when China suddenly unveiled an astronaut program of their own.\u2019\nBold ambitions drive more countries in space exploration\nListen to the Science Show to hear more about the new space race to the Moon, Mars and beyond.\nDr Jones says since the country first launched a person into space in 2003, Chinese astronauts have performed a spacewalk, launched a space laboratory, and China has landed a probe on the moon.\n\u2018Some people, including me, think that China is steadily gearing up for the ultimate goal of landing Chinese astronauts on the Moon,\u2019 adds Dr Jones.\nChina\u2019s space program is linked to its military capabilities, as are the United States\u2019 and Russia\u2019s, but Dr Jones argues an increase in nations sending probes and astronauts into space will also be a boon for scientific inquiry.\n\u2018I think it's going to be wonderful for science because they are sending probes into deep space, and in addition to that China operates astronomical satellites and scientific satellites in near-Earth space, and they publish the results of those findings in scientific journals.\u2019\nChina is not the only nation in the Asian region increasing its activities in space. In September 2014 India\u2019s Mangalyaan probe\u2014also known as the Mars Orbiter Mission\u2014successfully entered into orbit around the Red Planet. Dr Jones says while India\u2019s probe aims to answer scientific questions, such as whether Mars\u2019 atmosphere contains methane, there were political motivations behind the mission.\n\u2018The Chinese tried to send a small Mars probe as a piggyback on a Russian Mars mission that was going to be launched there a few years ago, and unfortunately the Russian mission failed, and the Chinese lost their small probe, along with the Russian probe.\n\u2018The Indians realised that if they got their act together very quickly they could beat the Chinese to Mars. They very quickly gained approval for the mission, cobbled it together using a lot of components that had previously been designed for their lunar orbiter, and it has reached Mars quite successfully and it's now carrying out some scientific observations.\u2019\nOne day, India too hopes to be able to independently launch astronauts into space.\nAs was the case during the height of the Cold War 50 years ago, Earth-based conflicts will undoubtedly find further expression in space in the 21st Century. One could be forgiven for viewing space ambitions through cynical eyes, despite the well-worn argument that scientific and technical benefits trickle down from space exploration.\nAndy Thomas argues that while space exploration can have scientific payoff back here on Earth, projects pursued by NASA and other space agencies cannot be justified on those terms alone.\n\u2018I think the payoff for space exploration has to be to search for life,\u2019 he says. \u2018For example, if we were to find evidence that life once formed on Mars, I think that would be a crowning achievement of intellectual human inquiry. It would be one of the great discoveries of all time.\n\u2018Mostly, what it would give us would be for the first time ever an honest assessment and a rational assessment of our place in the universe. Answering that kind of question, I think more than anything else justifies the cost and risks of space exploration.\u2019\nErica Vowles is a producer and broadcaster with RN. Follow her on Twitter.\nRex Der Plaisse :\nMeanwhile, back on Earth, millions are without clean water, adequate food and housing; and billions are without adequate health care. And no, the space programmes did NOT result in velcro, microcomputers or aluminium foil. In fact the technological dividend from the space race has been paltry. Manned space exploration is anti science and immoral.\nDaveM :\nRex, those issues (clean water, food, housing) are problems of governance and management, not resources.\nClean up corruption in India, religious fervour in the Middle East, exploitative practices in Africa and you could solve those problems. Unfortunately, human nature being what it is, I think that these are with us for the long haul.\nMeanwhile, where an country has the resources - why shouldn't they reach for the stars? Who are we to tell India, China, Russia or the USA what to do?\ncadelaide :\nmeanwhile back on earth the above post was written using an iphone connected to some network which would likely have satellites somewhere on it,while watch ing sattelite TV.. but thats ok cause the same luddites that are against space spending dont mind military spending..\ngoogle maps.. anyone?\nSpace Nerd :\nWhile I would agree more money needs to be spent on solving the social injusticies in our world and combatting climate change, where do you think the money spent on space industry goes? Pays many tens if not hundreds of thousands of people of all different backgrounds (cleaners to rocket scientists, dish washers to quantum physicists) in many different countries. Those people pay taxes and spend money on goods and services contributing to the economy.\nThe value of the science and engineering that continues come out of the space industry are not immediately obvious to the general public, but neither were the scientific discoveries of the 16th and 17th centuries at the time. Imagine if a certain 18th century scientific voyage to track the orbit of Venus across the sun did not happen?\nHaderak :\nRequired reading for Mars fans:\n\"Red Mars\", \"Green Mars\", \"Blue Mars\"\n- a trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson\nkeyboard warrior :\nI look at this story from this point of view.\nIf America had really put man on the Moon as claimed 45 years & the technology was in place - I feel very sure that Richard Branson would be flying two flights a day in & out & Donald Trump would have had high rise motels & holiday resorts in place many years ago.\nI do feel this is all a big fat lie aimed to captivate television audiences & the best we have been able to do is to put the ISS up in space 300km or so above our Earth's atmosphere.\nWhat you believe doesn't matter, as science happens regardless. But willingly staying in ignorance is your own loss.\nIt's an easy task to disprove your belief. Grab a decent enough telescope and you can see the lunar lander, if you know where to look. But that would take effort, something the wilfully ignorant seem to have an issue with.\nluddite :\nGood to see that not everybody is brain dead out there, lets not forget that we carry more computing power in our hands in the form of smart phones when compared to what was used to \"supposedly\" get man on the moon 45 years ago - debunking that age old argument \"it's too expensive to send man back to the moon\"\nPeter B :\nThe likelihood of the Apollo missions being faked is extremely low.\nFor one thing the Soviet Union tracked the missions in real time and accepted their reality, at a time in the Cold War when uncovering a fake would've been a huge propaganda coup.\nFor another thing the rocks brought back from the Moon by the Apollo missions have been extensively studied by scientists from around the world. The universal scientific opinion is that the rocks are genuinely from the Moon. The sheer volume of rocks (~380 kilograms) is too much to have been retrieved by unmanned sample retriever missions. And the rocks show no terrestrial contamination, meaning they weren't lunar meteorites collected in Antarctica.\nRick Eyerdam :\nThis is an excellent discussion. For more similar analysis go to marsnow.info and read The dimensions and consequences of NASA's search for life in space.\n\"One team longs for landings and samples. The other wants NASA resources and effort directed to the launch of the Transiting Exoplanet Surveying Satellite (TESS) in 2017, the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb Telescope) in 2018, and perhaps the proposed Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope - Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets (WFIRST-AFTA) early in the next decade.\nInstead of looking for microbe exobiology these upcoming telescopes will find and characterize large things including new exoplanets -- those planets that orbit other stars -- searching for oceans and water signs in the form of atmospheric water vapor and for life as indicated by carbon dioxide, methane and other atmospheric chemicals. But they could discover more.\nBrad Arnold :\nThe paradigm that you are missing is that exploring outer space ought to be a profit oriented venture. I realize exponential production using the raw material of extraterrestrial bodies is beyond most people's ken (especially LENT), but the first trillionaires will be the entrepreneurs who have the vision to pursue this:\nhttp://coldfusionnow.org/exponential-production-using-lenr-lent-and-3d-printing/\nMichael S. :\nWhen human kind looks back in the future, they believe that they wasted too much time looking for alien life. While they should have been working how to put human life out into the planets.\nTJL :\nThe costs are amazing. The Indian Mars mission cost less than the movie Gravity ($74 million USD vs. $100 million USD), and one ninth the cost of the NASA Maven mission ($671 million USD). Imagine what could be achieved if every wold wide space agency worked together, a manned mission to Mars could be affordable (although we all know politics and differences of opinion, let alone choosing which race would go, would prevent this from ever happening in this current world political climate).\nJohn Hogan :\nThis article nails it. Commendable restraint was exercised. The space industry is in the top 2 or 3 examples of the military-industrial complex stuff we were warned about.\nThe Mars books mentioned here really are excellent. I also recommend the Mars society and the works of Robert Zubrin.\nMost space spending is military. The US spends 6 out of every 7 space dollars on military stuff.\nThe COTS model seems to be the way forward. Musk is doing well and has a plan. It's actually happening. My 10 cents is that we should have an international crowd-sourced model so that those who care can pay \"Space tax\" out of their income to make things happen at the pace of our interest rather than the pace of other peoples' national interests and business plan. The combined spare change of the people who care about this stuff can launch a flotilla.\nBrian Cox made an amazing assessment in a recent documentary: Aound us are numerous galaxies with similar suns to ours. A possible reason why no contact has been made is the dominant culture of any civilization: Science and technology not serving sustainability, leading to self-destruction by so-called advanced civilizations. So before we can communicate, we manage to destroy our own eco-systems.\nSustainability simply means we (all nations) make an effort to secure global peace and treat our eco-system and all forms of life on earth with respect, so this generation and future generations will have a chance to survive and progress and suffer less. This agenda includes science and technology serving sustainability.\nSpace adventures mainly serve military advantages and do not serve sustainability.\nAlan said: \"Space adventures mainly serve military advantages and do not serve sustainability.\" Could you provide some examples, please. Spy satellites aside, I'm not sure how you can draw this conclusion. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of Earth-sensing satellites which provide information relevant to sustainability, whether in terms of temperature, plant life, resources, atmospheric composition or weather.",

The VHA offers compensation, which, when combined with comprehensive benefits, can be an attractive option for some podiatrists. It also has the additional benefit of providing much needed care to patients who have served our country. As a federal employee, there are also unique opportunities for advancement in clinical practice, leadership, research, education and national policy development.\nIn addition, because the VHA is its own integrated health care system, clinicians are able to focus solely on the practice of medicine, without the time and effort associated with billing and reimbursement issues. However, this also means practitioners give up the ability to control certain aspects of their business, such as ordering supplies, hiring and firing staff, marketing, etc.\n\u201cFor me, the ability to focus on the practice of medicine without the hassles associated with insurance was very attractive,\u201d said William E. Chagares DPM, Chief Podiatry Section at Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago. \u201cI am able to concentrate on my patient priorities most of the day, throughout the work week.\u201d\nFor those interested in a career with the VHA, it\u2019s important to understand that the VHA runs on a step and grade system. Salary scale (or the specific step and grade) is determined by many factors, including post graduate training, years of experience, board certification, research and publications, and academic faculty appointments. Each employee\u2019s step and grade are assigned during what is called the new hire \u201cboarding process\u201d. Taking time to ensure your CV is current, accurate and easily understood is the best way for a new employee to ensure they are boarded according to their individual qualifications and experience.\nFor more information about careers with the VHA, visit www.vacareers.va.gov/.",

        "raw_content": "By Mariko Taguchi, Manager, Accenture Technology, Tokyo\n\u201cCreatively use whatever business tools you can to make yourself as effective as possible and to create flexibility.\u201d\nI was recognized as an \u201cInspirational Working Mother\u201d where I work\u2014at Accenture, a global professional services company\u2014as part of its Japan Best People Awards. After I obtained this award, many women colleagues asked me how I manage to balance working at a demanding job with my life as the mother of a young child.\nOne of the best ways is to creatively use whatever business tools you can to make yourself as effective as possible and to create flexibility between home and work. For example, Skype Business is a tool I use on my laptop that allows me to attend meetings from my home, so I don\u2019t always have to be in the office. This ability to meet virtually makes me much more productive and efficient with my time, which is a great bonus for the quality of life for me and my family.\nWhen I am in the office, I usually leave at 5 p.m., so I have time to play with my son. But I\u2019m still a core member of a very challenging and interesting team. I am able to do both and would like to be a role model for other young mothers.\nSenior Manager Eithne Harley speaks about the importance of gender equality and of feeling equal at work.",

        "raw_content": "All Things Zika\nWhat is PCR? A Molecular Biology Lesson\nDanger from the flu and quacks that exploit it\nIt's really nice to have a fact checker at your disposal. But, most of us don't have such a luxury. Fortunately, scientists and medical professionals have a \"fact eliminator\" on call 24/7, and he can come in quite handy, should you be interested in at least eliminating wrong answers.\nHis name is Mike Adams, aka \"The Health Ranger,\" and he runs the \"Natural News\" site, where whatever he names, regardless of its effectiveness, it's bad for you. Vaccines, drugs, vegetable oil, anything genetically modified, C-sections.\nSo, it should come as no surprise that he has an online store, where you can buy any number of remedies that will help you live forever. Specifically featured now is the \"Healing Alchemy Bundle\" for only $75.19 (reduced from $104.85). Apparently, the irony of the product name is lost on him. Adams sure loves his conspiracy theories (See Note 1, below) and the latest is a beauty: Zika has nothing to do with birth defects! He writes:\n\"Yet the linkage between Zika and microcephaly is nothing but an unproven, unscientific, mythological narrative dreamed up by the vaccine pushers.\"\n\"All the signs are there, folks. This is the Bill Gates human depopulation agenda in full swing, disguised as a mosquito virus outbreak. It's no mistake that the larvicide chemicals are being sprayed in the poorest areas of Brazil, targeting those very same populations that are now being told, 'Don't have any more babies!\"'\nYep. Bill Gates is trying to depopulate the world, and Zika is just a coverup for this heinous plot.\nOr, you can choose to believe a CDC report in last week's MMWR, in which 18 doctors and scientists from five research centers provide evidence that Zika is, in fact, linked to fetal malformations. The paper is rough going, so I have summarized the findings in a way that is (hopefully) readable.\nThere is an assay (test) for Zika that the CDC has been working on since late 2015.\nIn December 2015, four samples were collected from four mothers and then analyzed.\nTwo were from infants who were born with microcephaly, and died shortly after birth.\nTwo were from miscarriages.\nAll four mothers had clinical signs of Zika infection during the first trimester, but none at the time of delivery or miscarriage.\nThe mothers were not tested for antibodies to Zika, so the diagnoses were based on symptoms rather than actual tests.\nA very sensitive, specific technique called RT-PCR (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) was used to look for Zika proteins and genetic material from brains or placentas of the infants and miscarriages, respectively.\nThe RT-PCR test, and another test that measures antibodies both confirmed the presence of Zika-specific proteins and genetic material in the samples.\nRT-PCR was also used to rule out dengue.\nOther tests ruled out other contagions that could cause fetal abnormalities: rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes, toxoplasmosis, and HIV.\nHistopathologic changes (observed using a microscope) showed evidence of several types of brain damage, but no damage elsewhere.\nNone of this is evidence that Zika caused the abnormalities, but strongly suggests it.\nThere are some limitations to the study, most notably, the lack of an antibody test for the infected mothers. But, this is good, solid science, and it is likely that the causation will be established sooner rather than later.\nWho do you believe? Eighteen researchers who used state of the art detection methods, or crackpots who think that Bill Gates is trying to kill poor infants? Tough call.\n(1) Speaking of conspiracies, this is a small sample of those featured on Adams' home page under the \"Preparedness News\" feature:\n10 skills that will come in handy when society collapses.\nDo you have a way to bug out from your vehicle and escape the freeway?\nBlack Friday special at Natural News introduces Ranger Gear, our new line of preparedness and survival products\nI wonder why the tune for that candy commercial is stuck in my head??\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TA3c1YqCiI",

        "title": "ADS Advance - Brexit: time to engage",
        "raw_content": "It was back in June when 51.9% of the British electorate voted to leave the EU. So it\u2019s time for an update, a look at the state of things \u2013 and minds. There has been plenty of media coverage as well as a variety of statements from government ministers since \u2013 especially during the political conference season throughout autumn.\nIn October, Prime Minister Theresa May gave everyone a date to focus on, announcing that she was planning to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty by the end of March 2017. The business community is well aware that in line with the stipulated two-year exit window, this means that the official status of the UK as member of the EU would change by the end of March 2019.\nWhat the general media headlines on the topic don\u2019t tend to cover, particularly on an international level, is the active engagement that\u2019s taking place within the business community. There are a great variety of conferences and events on the topic, and businesses across different trades and sectors are coming together to discuss different options for the different Brexit models.\nAll of the businesses I have spoken to recently are keeping a close eye on what is happening. However, some of them are not actively doing anything, while others are already busy drawing up different scenarios to be prepared to take action when the time comes.\nIt seems to me at the moment that larger companies are more actively engaged than small and medium-sized enterprises (SME). Multi-national corporations are driving exchanges with government agencies to discuss the best options to prepare, and I\u2019m concerned that the SME community is currently too much in a waiting position.\nIt is crucial for SME to realise that the time to reach out to government bodies and industry associations to address their business needs is now. The SME sector is highly important for the UK economy and it is vital that businesses within engage and get involved in current discussions. 'Knowledge is power' \u2013 and it is up to the business communities now to engage with government negotiators to equip them with the knowledge they need to understand \u2013 and represent \u2013 the needs of trade and industry going forward.\nAt this point, it isn\u2019t clear what the future economic model will be for the UK. Yet businesses do not have to wait for this to review sourcing strategies and global trade system flexibilities \u2013 to name just two of the areas businesses can engage in to prepare.\nIn the meantime, let\u2019s take a look at currently existing economic models outside the EU that could serve as blueprints for the UK to develop its own, future post-Brexit model:\n\uf06e The Norway scenario: Norway has full access to the single market for goods and services. It can move capital into, and out of, the EU without restrictions. As part of the agreement, Norway grants free movement to workers from the EU and makes significant contributions to the EU budget. It negotiates its own free trade agreements with non-EU countries.\n\uf06e The Switzerland scenario: Switzerland has negotiated 120 bilateral agreements with the EU, affording the country broad but limited access to the single market. This excludes, for example, the financial services sector. Like Norway, Switzerland also negotiates its own free trade agreements with non-EU countries, contributes to the EU budget, and allows the free movement of EU workers.\n\uf06e The Turkey scenario: Turkey does not allow the free movement of EU workers and makes no contributions to the EU budget. With the exception of steel, coal and agricultural products, the EU and Turkey can share all goods duty free under the ATR movement certificate. So far Turkey has not gained access to the EU single market for services.\n\uf06e The Bangladesh scenario: this country was selected to serve as example for any country that operates under no special trade agreements other than those applicable under the general World Trade Association (WTO) rules. These general rules would apply to the UK if it doesn\u2019t manage to negotiate agreements with its global trading partners within two years after triggering Article 50. WTO members do have access to simplified customs procedures, but in this scenario, the UK would probably face a significant rise in customs duties. However, this is not expected at this point. Besides, once the UK leaves the EU, WTO membership terms need to be renegotiated with all 162 WTO members anyway \u2013 by both the EU and the UK \u2013 because currently, the UK\u2019s terms are bundled in with those of the EU.\nThese existing options may or may not serve as blueprintsfor the future economic model of the UK. October\u2019s media headlines indicated that priority may be given during negotiations to controlling the movement of people rather than accessing the EU single market.\nOf course nothing is certain until the official negotiations actually begin but in the meantime there is a lot for us in the business community to do to get prepared \u2013 for any of the possible scenarios.",

        "raw_content": "Leadership and competitiveness go hand in hand\nRemaining competitive is high on many company agendas at the moment, but just what tools do they have at their disposal to make this happen?\nThe Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) revealed that strong leadership should be at the heart of every business - especially in a marketplace as fierce as it is in the modern day. However, the organisation revealed that several barriers stand in the way of firms being able to achieve this goal.\nChief Executive of the Ai Group Innes Willox said: \"The evidence, from both academic research and business surveys clearly shows that workplaces with more effective leadership and management capability are more productive, profitable and innovative.\"\nAmong the issues that many managers face is that they only look at the short-term opportunities on offer. Instead, the Ai Group argues that they should be focusing their attention on development, whether it be upskilling existing members of staff or creating a productive organisational culture.\nBusinesses are also failing to invest in their leaders, which is money that needs to be spent for the long-term benefit of the company. This means establishing what the firm requires in order to succeed, before ensuring that its managers are able to meet these objectives.\nIn many cases, companies would benefit from using business intelligence software, which provides a valuable insight into their operations. From being able to keep on top of e-commerce to customer relationship management, the advantages of these products are limitless.\nAustralian businesses may be more willing to think about this kind of purchase at the moment, especially as confidence has improved in light of conditions in the wider economy. Roy Morgan Research's Business Confidence Index increased 9.6 points in May from the previous month following the federal budget announcement, as well as the decision to lower the cash rate.",

        "raw_content": "Understanding KiwiSaver Fees\nEveryone with a KiwiSaver account pays a fee for membership. This usually comes in one of two forms. You can pay:\nA fixed membership fee, which is a flat fee ranging from $0 to $60 a year (according to Sorted\u2019s fund finder tool).\nYou could pay a percentage of your account balance.\nYour KiwiSaver provider charges a membership fee for its management, administration and investment costs. Details of the fees that your KiwiSaver scheme charges are disclosed in your KiwiSaver scheme\u2019s Product Disclosure Statement, available from your provider.\nIn short, it depends on your balance and provider! If you\u2019re paying a fixed fee of, say, $60 on a small balance with a low return, it can eat away at your investment. But if you have a large amount in your account and are gaining large returns, that $60 fee may have little effect.\nOn the other hand, you could be paying a percentage of your balance, instead of a fixed fee. Ultimately the higher the balance the higher the fee, and the lower the balance the lower the fee. Again, it depends on your balance and your chosen provider.\nThe fees vary from provider to provider, and you can also have a look for yourself with Sorted\u2019s handy fees calculator tool.\nWhat else do I need to know about fees?\nFees don\u2019t always represent the level of service you receive from a KiwiSaver provider.\nYour fees could change with your provider over time (meaning they could go up or down).\nIf you have any questions about your KiwiSaver account, reach out and ask your provider or Adviser.

        "raw_content": "High-Quality Early Education Would Save Billions\nBy Robert G. Lynch\nThe youngest children suffer the highest poverty rates of any age group in the United States. Nearly one in five children under age 6 lives in poverty, and the number is rising.\nPoor children often have inadequate food, safety, shelter, and healthcare. In school, poor children too often fall far short of achieving their academic potential, making them more likely to enter adulthood lacking the skills to compete in the global labor market. As adults, they are more likely to suffer from poor health and participate in crime and other antisocial behavior; they are also less likely to be gainfully employed and contributing to economic growth and community well-being.\nThere is a strong consensus among the experts who have studied high-quality early childhood development (ECD) programs that these programs have substantial payoffs. Although the programs vary in whom they serve and in the services they provide, most high-quality ECD programs have the following characteristics in common: well-educated and trained staff; a low child-to-teacher ratio and small classes; a rich curriculum that emphasizes language, pre-literacy, and pre-numeracy activities, as well as motor, emotional, and social development; health and nutritional services; and lots of structured and unstructured play. Good programs also typically include parental involvement and education.\nWhat benefits have such programs produced? We can answer this question thanks largely to carefully conducted, long-term studies that have compared the school and life outcomes of participants in four high-quality ECD programs\u2014the Perry Preschool Project, the Prenatal Early Infancy Project, the Abecedarian Early Childhood Intervention, and the Chicago Child-Parent Center Program\u2014with a control group of children who attended no such program.1 (Two of these, the Perry Preschool Project and the Chicago Child-Parent Center Program, are described in more detail in the sidebar \"The Benefits of High-Quality Early Education.\")\nThese studies have established that participating children are more successful in school and in life than children who were not enrolled in high-quality programs. In particular, children who have participated in high-quality ECD programs tend to have higher scores on math and reading achievement tests, have greater language abilities, are better prepared to enter elementary school, are more likely to pursue secondary education, have less grade retention, have less need for special education and other remedial coursework, have lower dropout rates, have higher high school graduation rates, higher levels of schooling attainment, improved nutrition, better access to healthcare services, higher rates of immunization, better health, and experience less child abuse and neglect. These children are also less likely to be teenage parents and more likely to have higher employment rates as adults, lower welfare dependency, lower rates of drug use, show less-frequent and less-severe delinquent behavior, engage in fewer criminal acts both as juveniles and as adults, have fewer interactions with the criminal justice system, and lower incarceration rates. The benefits of ECD programs to participating children enable them to enter school \"ready to learn,\" helping them achieve better outcomes in school and throughout their lives (Barnett, 1993; Karoly et al., 1998; Masse and Barnett, 2002; Schweinhart, 1993).\nParents and families of children who participate in high-quality ECD programs also benefit. For example, mothers have fewer additional births, have better nutrition and smoke less during pregnancy, are less likely to abuse or neglect their children, complete more years of schooling, have higher high-school graduation rates, are more likely to be employed, have higher earnings, engage in fewer criminal acts, have lower drug and alcohol abuse, and are less likely to use welfare (Karoly et al., 1998).\nBecause of these positive results, there is now a consensus among experts of all political persuasions that investments in high-quality ECD programs have huge potential long-term payoffs. Investments in high-quality ECD programs consistently generate benefit-cost ratios exceeding 3-to-1\u2014or more than a $3 return for every $1 invested. While participants and their families get part of the total benefits, the benefits to the rest of the public and government are even larger and, on their own, tend to far outweigh the costs of these programs. Several prominent economists and business leaders (many of whom are skeptical about government programs generally) have recently issued well-documented reviews of the literature that find very high economic payoffs from ECD programs. For example, Nobel Prize winning economist James Heckman of the University of Chicago has concluded:\nRecent studies of early childhood investments have shown remarkable success and indicate that the early years are important for early learning and can be enriched through external channels. Early childhood investments of high quality have lasting effects.... In the long run, significant improvements in the skill levels of American workers, especially workers not attending college, are unlikely without substantial improvements in the arrangements that foster early learning. We cannot afford to postpone investing in children until they become adults, nor can we wait until they reach school age\u2014a time when it may be too late to intervene. Learning is a dynamic process and is most effective when it begins at a young age and continues through adulthood. The role of the family is crucial to the formation of learning skills, and government interventions at an early age that mend the harm done by dysfunctional families have proven to be highly effective.2\nThe director of research and a regional economic analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Arthur Rolnick and Rob Grunewald, have come to similar conclusions:\n... recent studies suggest that one critical form of education, early childhood development, or ECD, is grossly under-funded. However, if properly funded and managed, investment in ECD yields an extraordinary return, far exceeding the return on most investments, private or public.... In the future, any proposed economic development list should have early childhood development at the top.3\nThis Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis study (Rolnick and Grunewald, 2003) further determined that annual real rates of return on public investments in the Perry Preschool project were 12 percent for the non-participating public and government and 4 percent for participants, so that total returns exceeded 16 percent. Thus, again it is advantageous even for non-participating taxpayers to pay for these programs. To comprehend how extraordinarily high these rates of return on ECD investments are, consider that the highly touted real rate of return on the stock market that prevailed between 1871 and 1998 was just 6.3 percent.4\nLikewise, after reviewing the evidence, The Committee for Economic Development (CED), a nonpartisan research and policy organization of some 250 business leaders and educators, concluded that:\nSociety pays in many ways for failing to take full advantage of the learning potential of all of its children, from lost economic productivity and tax revenues to higher crime rates to diminished participation in the civic and cultural life of the nation.... Over a decade ago, CED urged the nation to view education as an investment, not an expense, and to develop a comprehensive and coordinated strategy of human investment. Such a strategy should redefine education as a process that begins at birth and encompasses all aspects of children's early development, including their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. In the intervening years, the evidence has grown even stronger that investments in early education can have long-term benefits for both children and society.5\nWhat if we provided high-quality early childhood development to all poor children?\nHow much would it really cost the government to provide such an experience to all poor children? And how much would it actually save the government in terms of crimes not committed, welfare payments no longer needed, reduced remedial education costs, more taxes collected, and so forth?\nIn a new study published by the Economic Policy Institute and summarized here, I calculate how much taxpayers would save, how much the economy would grow, and how much crime would be reduced over the next 45 years if high-quality programs were provided for all poor children. To create these estimates, I've extrapolated from research on the Perry Preschool Project.6 Perry was not chosen because it is an ideal program (or even better than the three other programs named above). It is simply the only program with data suitable for these extrapolations. (For a fuller explanation of the merits of such extrapolations, see the sidebar \"Extrapolating from One Program...\".) These estimates assume the launch of an ECD program for all of the nation's three- and four-year-olds who live in poverty in 2005, with full phase-in by 2006. (For practical purposes, such as finding appropriate staff and locations, a large-scale ECD program would have to be phased-in over a longer period.) The costs set forth in these estimates may understate the start-up costs of such an ambitious program, especially the costs of recruiting and training teachers and staff and of establishing appropriate sites. On the other hand, the total benefits of ECD investment are also understated in these estimates (see the sidebar \"The Benefits of High-Quality Early Education\" for a discussion of some of the benefits of the Perry Preschool Project that are unaccounted for). Thus, although the benefit-cost ratio of a national ECD program could be somewhat higher or lower than that which is found in the pilot programs, it is implausible that the ratio would be less than the 1-to-1 ratio necessary to justify launching the program.\nIn the next two sections we'll look at the results of these extrapolations and specifically the effects of ECD investments on 1) government budgets, and 2) on the economy and crime.\nWhat is the effect on government budgets?\nWe can expect, based on long-term research on children who participated in high-quality ECD programs and similar non-participating children, that these ECD investments would benefit taxpayers and generate government budget benefits in at least four ways.7 First, subsequent public education expenses would be lower because participants spend less time in school (as they fail fewer grades) and require expensive special education less often. Second, criminal justice costs would come down because participants\u2014and their families\u2014would have markedly lower crime and delinquency rates. Third, both participants and their parents would have higher incomes and pay more taxes than non-participants. Fourth, the ECD investment would reduce public welfare expenditures because participants and their families would have lower rates of welfare usage. Against these four types of budget benefits, we must consider two types of budget costs: the expenses of the ECD program itself and the increased expenditure due to greater use of higher education by ECD participants.\nThe ECD programs do not perform miracles on poor children. Substantial numbers of ECD participants go on to do poorly in school, commit crimes, have poor health outcomes, and receive welfare payments. The key point is that ECD participants as a group have far lower rates of these negative outcomes than do non-participants.\nGiven all of this, what effect would such ECD investments have on government budgets?8 In the second year of the program, 2006, when the program would be fully phased-in, government outlays would exceed offsetting budget benefits by $19.4 billion (in 2004 dollars). The annual deficit due to the ECD program would shrink for the next 14 years. By the 17th year of the program, in 2021, the deficit would turn into a surplus that would grow every year thereafter. Within 25 years, by 2030 if a nationwide program were started in 2005, the annual budget benefits would exceed costs by $31 billion (in 2004 dollars). By 2050, the net annual budget savings would total $61 billion (in 2004 dollars). In short, for the first 16 years, additional costs exceed offsetting budget benefits, but by a declining margin. Thereafter, offsetting budget benefits exceed costs by a growing margin each year. This pattern is illustrated in the figure below, which shows annual revenue impacts and costs in constant 2004 dollars.\nThe reason for this fiscal pattern is fairly obvious. The costs of the program will grow fairly steadily for the first decade and a half, in tandem with modest growth in the population of three- and four-year-old participants. Thereafter, costs will grow at a somewhat faster pace for a few years as, in addition to the costs of educating three- and four-year-olds, the first and subsequent cohorts of participant children begin to use public higher education services. After the first two years, when the first cohort of children starts entering the public school system, public education expenditures will begin to diminish due to less grade retention and remedial education. After a decade and a half, the first cohort of children will be entering the workforce, resulting in increased earnings and thus higher tax revenues and lower welfare expenditures. In addition, governments will experience lower judicial system costs.\nThe timing of these fiscal benefits resulting from a nationwide ECD program should appeal to those concerned about the fiscal difficulties posed by the impending surge of retiring baby boomers. The substantial fiscal payoffs from investing in young children would become available to governments just as the wave of new retirements puts the greatest pressure on government resources. For example, the government-wide budget savings in 2030 and in 2050 from ECD investments begun next year would be enough to offset about one-fifth of the deficits in the Social Security trust fund projected for those years. This potential contribution to the solvency of the Social Security system would be achieved without raising social security taxes or cutting benefits.\nWhat is the effect of ECD on crime reduction, earnings, and the economy?\nIt is important to keep in mind that savings to government is not the only benefit of ECD investments. These other benefits come in many forms. Investments in high-quality ECD programs are likely to substantially reduce crime rates and the extraordinary costs to society of criminality. Some of these reduced costs are savings to government in the form of lower criminal justice system costs. These savings to government would total nearly $28 billion (in 2004 dollars) in 2050, and were included in the earlier discussion of the fiscal effects of ECD investments. But there are other savings to society from reduced crime. These include the value of material losses and the pain and suffering that would otherwise be experienced by the victims of crime. By 2050, these savings to individuals from less crime would amount to $127 billion (in 2004 dollars).\nAnother major benefit of ECD investments is their impact on the future earnings of participants.9 The initial increase in earnings occurs in 2020 when the first cohort of participating children turns 18 and enters the labor market. By 2050, the increase in earnings due to ECD investments is estimated to amount to 0.43 percent of GDP, or some $107 billion (in 2004 dollars).\nThe increased earnings of children who participate in a high-quality ECD program not only allow the U.S. to compete more effectively in a global economy, but also aid both earlier and future generations of children. These increased earnings will benefit earlier generations when they reach retirement age because these earnings will contribute to the solvency of Social Security and other public retirement benefit programs. Future generations will benefit because they will be less likely to grow up in families living in poverty.\nA nationwide commitment to high-quality early childhood development would cost a significant amount of money up front, but it would have a substantial payoff in the future. The United States' political system, with its two- and four-year cycles, tends to under-invest in programs with such long lags between when investment costs are incurred and when the benefits are enjoyed. The fact that lower levels of government cannot capture all the benefits of ECD investment may also discourage them from assuming all the costs of ECD programs. Yet, the economic case for ECD investment is compelling.\nTo recapitulate, I estimate that providing poor three- and four-year-old children\u201420 percent of all children in this age range\u2014with a high-quality program would initially cost about $19 billion a year. Such a program would ultimately reduce costs for remedial and special education, criminal justice, and welfare benefits, and it would increase income earned and taxes paid. Within about 17 years, the net effect on the budget would turn positive (for all levels of government combined). Within 30 years, the offsetting budget benefits would be more than double the costs of the ECD program (and the cost of the additional youth going to college).\nIn addition, investing in our poor young children is likely to have an enormous positive effect on the U.S. economy by raising GDP, improving the skills of the workforce, reducing poverty, and strengthening U.S. global competitiveness. Crime rates and the heavy costs of criminality to society are likely to be substantially reduced as well\nRobert G.

All but the Chicago Child-Parent Center Program had random assignment of potentially eligible children into the intervention program or the control group. The Chicago Child-Parent Center Program did not use randomized assignment but the control group did match the intervention group on age, eligibility for intervention, and family socioeconomic status.\n2.

The annual average impact for various types of costs and benefits per Perry Preschool Project participant, estimated by Rolnick and Grunewald (2003) of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, was used as the baseline for the analysis. (Rolnick and Grunewald used the costs and benefits as described by Schweinhart [1993] and Barnett [1993].) The annual costs and benefits per program participant of the preschool program were adjusted for inflation and/or wage increases every year through 2050 in line with projections made by the Congressional Budget Office (June 2004).\nThe numbers of three- and four-year-olds entered in the estimating model were taken from recent population projections made by the U.S. Census Bureau (2004). The total costs and benefits of the preschool program were determined by multiplying the number of participants of a particular age by the average value of the cost or benefit for each year that the cost or benefit was produced by participants of that age as determined by Rolnick and Grunewald (2003). Thus, for example, the reductions in the cost of providing public education per participant were assumed to kick in when that participant entered the public school system at age 5 and were assumed to cease when that participant turned 18 and left the school system.\n7. Other savings to taxpayers and boons to government budgets, such as reductions in public healthcare expenditures, are likely to exist. But, we lack the data to quantify all these other potential savings.\n8. This analysis considers budget effects on all levels of government\u2014federal, state, and local\u2014as a unified whole. As a practical matter, the source estimates have not made such a distinction, nor should they. All levels of government share in the costs of education, criminal justice, and income support. Responsibilities have shifted in the last half-century and will continue to do so over the nearly half-century timeframe used in this analysis. Although a case can be made that ECD investments should be the responsibility of the federal government to address educational inequalities before children enter the school system, these investments could be made at any or all levels of government. This analysis focuses on capturing national effects of ECD investments.\n9. The guardians of participants are also likely to experience increases in earnings since they will have more time for employment as a consequence of the day- care provided to their children by the ECD program. These earnings benefits have not been calculated for our nationwide ECD program.\nBarnett, W.

        "raw_content": "\u201cClinton is the champion working families need in the White House\u201d\nThe AFT executive council voted overwhelmingly on July 11 to endorse Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary for president of the United States. The AFT is the first national union to endorse a candidate in the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.\n\u201cIn vision, in experience and in leadership, Hillary Clinton is the champion working families need in the White House,\u201d says AFT President Randi Weingarten. \u201cHillary Clinton is a tested leader who shares our values, is supported by our members, and is prepared for a tough fight on behalf of students, families and communities. That fight defines her campaign and her career.\n\u201cIn Arkansas, Hillary fought to expand access to early childhood education and care. As first lady, she fought for the right to affordable, high-quality healthcare and helped win that right for our youngest citizens. As senator, she fought for education funding and workers\u2019 rights, and she defended public service workers who came to our nation\u2019s defense on Sept. 11. And as secretary of state, she promoted democracy throughout the world, lifting up the worth and dignity of all people\u2014men and women, gay and straight.\u201d\nAdds Weingarten, \u201cHillary Clinton, a product of public schools herself, believes in the promise of public education. From early childhood learning through higher education, she sees how that promise can create real opportunity for kids, building a much-needed bridge to the middle class. Hillary understands that to reclaim the promise of public education, policymakers need to work with educators and their unions. She\u2019s ready to work with us to confront the issues facing children and their families today, including poverty, wage stagnation, income inequality and lack of opportunity. Hillary is the leader we need to help us reclaim the promise of public education and, indeed, of America.\u201d\nUpon learning of the union\u2019s endorsement, Clinton said, \u201cFor nearly a century, the American Federation of Teachers has worked to expand opportunity for the people and communities they serve. I\u2019m honored to have the support of AFT\u2019s members and leaders, and proud to stand with them to unleash the potential of every American.\u201d\nClinton continued, \u201cI know from my own family that teachers have the power to change lives. We need to make sure every child has access to a quality public education and teachers with the tools to help them succeed. Our country\u2019s future depends on the education we give all our children \u2014 and giving them the best means working with the teachers and school personnel who help shape their futures each day.\u201d\nAs in past elections, the AFT\u2019s 1.6 million members will be a powerful organizing force behind our endorsed candidate. Leading up to November 2016, AFT members are expected to make more than 1 million phone calls and knock on more than 500,000 doors.\nThe AFT\u2019s endorsement comes one month after Clinton attended an executive council meeting in Washington, D.C. At that meeting, she said, \u201cIt is just dead wrong to make teachers the scapegoats for all of society\u2019s problems. Where I come from, teachers are the solution. And I strongly believe that unions are part of the solution, too.\u201d\nBernie Sanders and Martin O\u2019Malley also spoke with the executive council at that meeting. All potential and announced candidates were invited to complete a questionnaire, and those who returned the questionnaire were invited to meet with the council. No Republican candidates responded to the invitation.\nThe AFT has conducted a long, deliberative process to assess which candidate would best champion the issues of importance to our members, their families and communities. Members have been engaged online, through the \u201cYou Decide\u201d website, through several telephone town halls, and through multiple surveys\u2014reaching more than 1 million members.\nAdditionally, the AFT conducted a scientific poll of our membership on candidates and key issues. The top issues members raised were jobs and the economy and public education. Seventy-nine percent of AFT members who vote in Democratic primaries said we should endorse a candidate. By more than a 3-to-1 ratio, members said the union should endorse Clinton.\nPublic Employee Advocate, Summer 2015 Download PDF (1.28 MB)",

(Grace Kennedy/The Observer)\nThe school has been developing a new logo and tag line for the last two years\nAfter two years of secrecy, Agassiz Christian School was finally able to unveil its new logo Wednesday (Feb. 6) to a gymnasium of parents, students and supporters.\n\u201cWe went through many different logos and we had lots of different people helping us,\u201d said Grade 6/7 teacher Simon Braun, who had been part of the logo development since the beginning. \u201cWe definitely had some times where we went down a path that we wish we hadn\u2019t gone down now, and logos that weren\u2019t good.\u201d\n\u201cWe were all waiting for the \u2018aha\u2019 moment,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe figured we were going to see a logo and go \u2018That\u2019s it.\u2019 It took two years for us to find that.\u201d\nThe decision to create a new logo and tag line for the school came out of the school\u2019s strategic plan: from there, the school decided it needed better community outreach and went out to create new ways to share their message.\nRELATED: Workshop to build bridges of understanding hosted by Agassiz Christian School\nThe school of 73 students has been operating in Agassiz since 1964. Originally started as an extension of one of the local churches, but has broadened to include students from all parts of the Christian community.\n\u201cWe wanted the community to know we are an open and welcoming school, that anybody is welcome to attend,\u201d Braun said. \u201cWe were afraid that we seen as just this closed Dutch school that you can\u2019t come to, but we want to make sure we were open to everybody.\u201d\nDuring the unveiling ceremony, two signs were revealed. One, featuring two hands holding a collection of pine cones, will be put up on the school itself. The other, prominently displaying the new logo, will be put up near Morrow Road.\nThe logo, featuring three vines at its base, incorporated a number of iconographic images within its geometric shape: a rising sun between two mountains, a heart that could also be seen as a book, and arrows that point to heaven and earth.\nRELATED: Students come clean with kindness\nThe ceremony also revealed the school\u2019s new tag line: Discover, grow, thrive.\n\u201cIf you look way back there on the wall, it says \u2018Education with a difference\u2019,\u201d principal Judy de Waal said, pointing to the painting on the wall of the gymnasium. \u201cNow, after many years, we are changing our tag line. Not because that one is bad, obsolete or outdated, but because we wanted to add a little more depth.\u201d\nGreg Vander Hoek, chair of the school\u2019s board of directors, agreed.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve seen that \u2018Education with a difference\u2019, that was for the previous generation,\u201d he said during the ceremony. \u201cI hope that the new and upcoming generations jump on to the \u2018Discover, grow and thrive\u2019.\u201d\nAgassiz Christian School unveiled two new signs on Wednesday, Feb. 4. This one will be going on the building of the school. (Grace Kennedy/The Observer)",

        "title": "New Video Proof of Media Lies About UC Davis Protests - Accuracy in Media",
        "raw_content": "Media Whitewash Barney Frank\u2019s Scandalous Legacy\nNew Video Proof of Media Lies About UC Davis Protests\nUC Davis Republicans have released a new video showing what actually transpired on the campus before some protesters were pepper-sprayed. The almost nine-minute video shows that the UC Davis campus police were encircled by the demonstrators, who tell the police to free some of their arrested comrades. \u201cIf you let them go,\u201d the protesters say, \u201cwe will let you leave.\u201d Later, the protesters can be heard chanting, \u201cF\u2014 the police.\u201d\nThe national media have made it appear that the police attacked demonstrators peacefully protesting on a sidewalk for no good reason at all. NBC anchor Brian Williams called them \u201ckids\u201d and suggested that parents in the audience should be outraged over their treatment.\nMeanwhile, campus police are finally beginning to speak out. UC Berkeley police, who responded to threatening protesters on that campus with batons, said that officers were injured by chairs and bricks thrown by demonstrators.\nIn the UC Davis incident, after warning protesters on the sidewalk to leave and showing them canisters of pepper spray, the police saturate them with a heavy mist of the substance, which is used to make them easier to move. The video also shows the sidewalk demonstrators preparing and expecting to get sprayed, even covering up their faces to protect themselves.\nThe use of the pepper spray has been depicted by various media outlets as completely unprovoked. In fact, this new video shows that it was a virtual last resort by the police to restore law and order on campus. The use of batons on the demonstrators had been ruled out by the campus police chief. Batons were used, however, during a previous confrontation with protesters on the UC Berkeley campus.\nThe sensationalized anti-police manner in which the UC Davis confrontation has been portrayed by the media led the Chancellor of the university, Linda Katehi, to put the campus police chief and two officers on leave. Davis College Republicans chairman Marcus Shibler has called this completely unjust, saying that the police were doing their job and that more protesters should have been arrested for surrounding and threatening the police as they carried out their duties. Shibler is also upset that Katehi, who had originally ordered the protesters evicted and their tents dismantled, has caved to the protesters, letting them reestablish their tent city and providing portable toilets for them. Fortunately, he says previous information that the university was providing them with meals turned out to be false.\nThe UC Davis English Department, a hotbed of radical activism on campus, has issued a statement calling for Katehi\u2019s immediate resignation and for \u201ca policy that will end the practice of forcibly removing non-violent student, faculty, staff, and community protesters by police on the UC Davis campus.\u201d\nInterestingly, by noting the presence of \u201ccommunity protesters,\u201d this statement confirms that people from off-campus were part of the protests. In originally justifying the police action, Katehi had noted that non-students were involved in the demonstrations.\nThe UC Davis English Department statement goes on to urge \u201cthe disbanding of the UCPD [University of California Police Department] and the institution of an ordinance against the presence of police forces on the UC Davis campus, unless their presence is specifically requested by a member of the campus community. This will initiate a genuinely collective effort to determine how best to ensure the health and safety of the campus community at UC Davis.\u201d\nAn English professor by the name of Nathan Brown, who teaches Marxist theory, has been behind some of the protests. He is paid about $64,000 a year by the university, does not have tenure, and thinks the administration doesn\u2019t have the will to fire him. He wrote an open letter calling on Katehi to go and wants the UC Davis police thrown off campus, saying that \u201cstudent security services\u201d can deal with most crime on campus.\nOne of his scheduled classes is \u201cThe Real Movement of History: Left Communism and the Communization Current,\u201d featuring the Communist Manifesto and other Marxist writings. He says students attending his classes participate in protests against budget cuts to state funding of education.\nOn Monday, as radicals attempted to close down the campus and occupy various university buildings, Brown was listed on a poster as teaching a workshop to protesters on \u201cThree Theories of Power: Marx, Fanon, Foucault.\u201d Other workshops were on prisoners\u2019 rights, yoga, meditation, anarchist anthropology, and the dangers of corporations.\nMeanwhile, the police union, known as the Federated University Police Officers Association, has issued a statement in response to the confrontations with protesters on the UC Davis and UC Berkeley campuses, asking that \u201cthe rules and regulations of the University of California along with state laws be respected\u201d and that protesters not \u201cinterfere with the day-to-day operations of the university.\u201d The union adds, \u201cThere are still a lot of students, faculty and staff out there who simply want to come to work or continue on with their education without fear of disruption. We should all respect this.\u201d\nThe statement refers to UC Berkeley police responding to a separate report of a gunman on the campus.\nIt went on, \u201cA UC Berkeley staff member saw a man with a gun and reported it to police. Your UC Berkeley police did not run the other way or even wait for outside police agencies to respond before taking any type of action. Your UC Berkeley Police Department quickly responded to a call for help from one of your fellow campus community members. They did this knowing that due to the severity of this type of call, they may never return to their own families. This shooting happened at a time where UC Berkeley police officers had recently been harshly criticized because of the way they handled the protestors on November 9th. They already were feeling like there was a lack of support by the UC administration but because of their professionalism and dedication to the campus community\u2019s safety, they responded quickly to this deadly confrontation while putting their own lives on the line.\u201d\nThe UC Berkeley Police Officers\u2019 Association, which represents the officers who handled demonstrators with batons on that campus, issued a statement saying, \u201cA video clip gone viral does not depict the full story or the facts leading up to an actual incident. Multiple dispersal requests were given in the days and hours before the tent removal operation. Not caught on most videos were scenes of protesters hitting, pushing, grabbing officers\u2019 batons, fighting back with backpacks and skateboards.\u201d\nIt went on, \u201cWhile students were calling the protest \u2018non-violent,\u2019 the events on November 9th were anything but nonviolent. In previous student Occupy protests, protesters hit police officers with chairs, bricks, spitting, and using homemade plywood shields as weapons\u2014with documented injuries to officers.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Libya rebels repel offensives on Misurata\nWidespread fighting continues, as NATO comes under pressure to step up its military campaign against Gaddafi's forces.\nA fierce battle continued over the course of Tuesday as Libyan government artillery pounded the besieged city of Misurata and further shelling targeted the cities of Zintan and Ajdabiya.\nPro-democracy fighters said they had beaten back two offensives by troops loyal to longterm leader Muammar Gaddafi in Misurata, 200km east of capital Tripoli.\n\"There was heavy fighting in Tripoli Street and the rebels held their positions. Also, very intense fighting occurred on the eastern side of Misurata on the Nak el Theqeel road. The rebels repelled the attack,\" a spokesman who identified himself as Mohamad Abu Shaara told Reuters by telephone.\nClick here to follow our Libya live blog\nA spokesman for anti-Gaddafi forces in Zintan, another city in western Libya under attack by Gaddafi's forces in recent weeks, said there had been fresh bombardment there.\n\"The pro-Gaddafi forces located north of the town fired mortar rounds from pick-up trucks at Zintan. Fortunately only one person was wounded in the attack,\" said the spokesman named Abdulrahman.\n\"It's been mostly random firing as the town is perched 750m above sea level and the pro-Gaddafi forces are in the foothills of the mountains.\"\nFurther east, Al Jazeera's Sue Turton, reporting from the western entrance to Ajdabiya, said that position had come under fire.\n\"We are not sure if the shelling came from the south, the direction from which this area attacked a few days ago, or a position further along the Brega road, where we know Gaddafi forces are positioned,\" she said.\nThe attacks came as leaders from Libya's Transitional National Council told European Union officials that Gaddafi's forces had killed 10,000 people since the uprising began on February 17.\n\"We have about 20,000 persons missing and about 30,000 injured - 7,000 of them seriously injured with life endangered,\" Ali Al Isawi, told reporters.\nNATO 'must do more'\nClick here for more on our special coverage\nEarlier on Tuesday, Alain Juppe, French foreign minister, said NATO was not doing enough to protect civilians in Libya.\nJuppe said the 28-nation military alliance should target heavy weapons besieging Misurata, where an increasingly bloody siege by Gaddafi's troops led rebels to dismiss the AU call for a ceasefire as meaningless.\n\"NATO must play its role fully. It wanted to take the lead in operations, we accepted that,\" Juppe told France Info radio ahead of travelling to Qatar for Wednesday's Libya contact group meeting on Wednesday.\n\"It must play its role today which means preventing Gaddafi from using heavy weapons to shell [civilian] populations.\"\nWhen asked if NATO was doing enough, Juppe responded: \"It's not enough.\"\nHis sentiments were echoed by William Hague, British foreign minister.\nBut Brigadier General Mark Van Uhm, chief of allied operations, disagreed with their assessments.\n\"Pro-Gaddafi forces cannot fight where they want, cannot fight how they want, or use the weapons they want,\" he said.\n\"Nothing indicates, however, that Gaddafi has any intention of disengaging from operations.\"\nThe Red Cross said it was opening a Tripoli office and would send a team to Misurata to help civilians trapped by fighting, but one of Gaddafi's ministers warned any aid operation involving foreign troops would be seen as a declaration of war.\nKoussa to Qatar\nMeanwhile, Moussa Koussa, Libya's former foreign minister and spy chief had reportedly arrived in Qatar to share his insights on the workings of Gaddafi's inner circle late on Tuesday.\nKoussa will hold meetings on the fringes of the Libya Contact Group conference being held in Doha as a valuable Gaddafi insider, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation.\nMI6 agents stopped questioning Koussa last week, according to the official.\nMussa Ibrahim, a spokesperson for the Libyan government, condemned Qatar's role in the conflict on Tuesday.\n\"We are very hopeful that the American people and the American government will not buy into the Qatari lies and Qatari schemes,\" he said.\n\"Qatar is hardly a partner of any kind, it's more of an oil corporation than a true nation.\"\nKoussa had been staying in a British safehouse until late Monday night, according to Noman Benotman, an ex-member of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and relative of Koussa who has been in regular contact with the former foreign minister since he fled Libya.\nAlthough Koussa was provided with legal advice, Benotman said he believed he had \"cleared most of the legal hurdles in the UK\" surrounding his alleged involvement in the Lockerbie bombing and arming the IRA.\nBritain's Foreign Office confirmed the trip in a statement on Tuesday, saying that Koussa was \"travelling today to Doha to meet with the Qatari government and a range of other Libyan representatives\" and to discuss the rejected African Union initiative.\nFollowing talks on Monday with the AU delegation in rebel stronghold Benghazi, Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil said: \"The African Union initiative does not include the departure of Gaddafi and his sons from the Libyan political scene, therefore it is outdated.\"\n\"Any future proposal that does not include this, we cannot accept,\" he said, accusing Gaddafi of bombing, shelling and shooting civilians.",

(Photo by J Pat Carter/Getty Images)\nOklahoma's Republican-controlled legislature last week approved the state's first major tax increase in a quarter century to help fund pay raises for teachers, hoping to avert a strike with a $450 million revenue package.\nThe funding would raise by $5,000 the pay of teachers beginning their career, and provide a raise of nearly $8,000 for those with 25 years' experience, lawmakers said.\nThe increase fell short of the demand from the largest teachers' union in the state, the Oklahoma Education Association, for a $10,000 pay increase over three years for teachers and a $5,000 raise for support personnel.\nAccording to National Education Association estimates for 2016, Oklahoma ranked 48th, followed by Mississippi at 49 and South Dakota at 50, in terms of average U.S. classroom teacher salary.\nOklahoma secondary school teachers had an annual mean wage of $42,460 as of May 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The minimum salary for a first year teacher was $31,600, state data showed.\nThe mean wage for teachers in every neighboring state is higher, causing many experienced teachers to leave Oklahoma, where some budget-strained districts have been forced to implement four-day school weeks.\nOn a state level, the inflation-adjusted general funding per student in Oklahoma dropped by 28.2 percent between 2008 and 2018, the biggest cut of any state, according to the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

        "raw_content": "Income tax: bad debts\n1. This Ruling clarifies the circumstances in which a deduction for bad debts will be allowable. In particular, the Ruling explains the operation of paragraph 63(1)(b) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (the Act) in relation to taxpayers in the business of the lending of money. The Ruling does not attempt to provide guidance on bad debts in relation to consumer lending such as small personal loans or credit card debts. A separate Ruling will issue on consumer lending.\nDebt (paragraph 25)\n2. To obtain a bad debt deduction under section 63 of the Act, a debt must exist before it can be written off as bad. A debt exists for the purposes of section 63 where a taxpayer is entitled to receive a sum of money from another either at law or in equity.\nBad debt (paragraphs 26 - 33)\n3. A debt need not necessarily be bad in the strict sense as described in paragraph 26. The question of whether a debt is bad is a matter of judgment having regard to all the relevant facts. Guidelines for deciding when a debt is bad are at paragraphs 31-32. Generally, provided a bona fide commercial decision is taken by a taxpayer as to the likelihood of non-recovery of a debt, it will be accepted that the debt is bad for section 63 purposes. The debt, however, must not be merely doubtful.\n4. Where a trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or liquidator advises a creditor of the amount expected to be paid in respect of a debt, the remainder of the debt (i.e. the extent to which the amount likely to be received is less than the debt) is accepted as bad when the advice is given.\nWriting-off of bad debts (paragraphs 34 - 39)\n5. The bad debt has to be written off in the year of income before a bad debt deduction is allowable under section 63. The writing-off of a bad debt does not necessarily require highly technical accounting entries. It is sufficient that some form of written record is kept to evidence the decision of the taxpayer to write off the debt from the accounts.\nDebt brought to account as assessable income - paragraph 63(1)(a) (paragraphs 40 - 41)\n6. If a taxpayer is not carrying on a business of money lending, a bad debt deduction is not allowable under paragraph 63(1)(a) unless the debt has been previously included in assessable income. A taxpayer who is not a money lender and returns income on the basis of cash receipts will not be entitled to a deduction for bad debts because the debts have not been brought to account by the taxpayer as assessable income.\nMoney-lending business - paragraph 63(1)(b) (paragraphs 42 - 46)\n7. Paragraph 63(1)(b) applies to taxpayers who are engaged in a money lending business. The question of whether a taxpayer is carrying on a money-lending business is a question of fact. For the purposes of paragraph 63(1)(b), a money lender need not necessarily be ready and willing to lend moneys to the public at large or to a wide class of borrowers. It would be sufficient if the taxpayer lends moneys to certain classes of borrowers provided the taxpayer does so in a businesslike manner with a view to yielding a profit from it.\n'In respect of' (paragraphs 47 - 48)\n8. The term 'in respect of money lent' in paragraph 63(1)(b) is to be given its widest meaning and it includes not only the principal of the loan, but also any capitalised interest and associated costs, charges, fees etc. incurred in the course of lending money.\nMoney-lending business at the time of lending (paragraphs 49 - 52)\n9. For the purposes of paragraph 63(1)(b), the taxpayer must be carrying on a money lending business at the time the loan was made. However, it is accepted that a taxpayer does not have to be carrying on a business of money lending at the time the debt is written off in order to satisfy the requirements of paragraph 63(1)(b).\nSECTION 51 (paragraphs 57 - 68)\n10. Certain taxpayers who fail to satisfy the requirements under section 63 may be entitled to a bad debt deduction under subsection 51(1). Any business losses or outgoings of a revenue nature are an allowable deduction under subsection 51(1) when incurred. Whether or not a loss occasioned by a bad debt is of a revenue or capital nature depends upon a consideration of the facts and circumstances in each case.\n11. A loss occasioned by a bad debt is clearly incurred when the loan is disposed of, settled, compromised or otherwise extinguished. Where a debt is not disposed of, settled, compromised or otherwise extinguished, it is accepted that the loss of the debt is incurred under subsection 51(1) when it is written off as bad in the same way as in section 63.\nSUBSECTION 63(3) (paragraphs 69 - 71)\n12. Where a taxpayer recoups an amount which has previously been allowed as a bad debt deduction under either of subsections 63(1) or 51(1) the taxpayer will have to include this amount in assessable income pursuant to subsection 63(3).\nPARTIAL DEBT WRITE-OFFS (paragraphs 72 - 83)\n13. It is not necessary for a taxpayer to write off an entire debt to obtain a bad debt deduction under section 63. A taxpayer is entitled to a deduction for that part of a debt which is bad and is written off. The same tests for deductibility apply as for the whole of a debt.\n14. A partial bad debt deduction may arise where debt is secured by property. Where the debt is discharged only to the extent of the net amount realised from the sale of the security and the remaining debt is still outstanding, the remaining debt (i.e. any deficiency between the net proceeds of the sale of the security and the amount of the debt) would be deductible as a partial bad debt only if and when it is found that the remaining debt could not be recovered from the debtor (i.e. the requirements of section 63 are met). The same principle applies where the security is held, for example as mortgagee in possession, rather than sold. In this situation, the remaining debt that may be written off as bad is the deficiency between the market value of the security and the amount of debt.\n15. Where the security is taken in full satisfaction of the debt, no bad debt deduction is allowable under section 63 unless the bad debt is written off before the debt is extinguished.\n16. If a deduction is not available under subsection 63(1) any deficiency between the market value of the security and the amount of the debt may, depending upon the circumstances, be an allowable deduction under subsection 51(1) or taken into account as a capital loss under Part IIIA of the Act.\n17. Any profit or loss on the subsequent disposal of the security will need to be taken into account under sections 25 and 51 or Part IIIA.\nDEBT/EQUITY SWAPS (paragraphs 84 - 91)\n18. Sections 63E and 63F are specific provisions allowing deductions for losses arising out of debt for equity swaps entered into after 26 February 1992. The allowable deduction is the amount by which the amount of the debt exceeds the value of the equity received in the swap.\n19. Prior to 27 February 1992 a bad debt deduction arising out of a debt for equity swap may, depending on the circumstances, be allowable under either of subsections 63(1) or 51(1).\n20. A deduction is allowable under subsection 63(1) if the taxpayer had written off that portion of the debt that was bad (ie. the deficiency between the debt owed and the market value of the equity to be issued) before the equity was issued and the debt was extinguished.\n21. Where a bad debt deduction is not allowable under subsection 63(1) a deduction may, depending upon the circumstances, be allowable under subsection 51(1) for the loss arising out of a debt for equity swap.\n22. This Ruling applies (subject to any limitations imposed by statute) for years of income commencing both before and after the date on which it is issued.\n23. Subsection 63(1) provides that:\n'Debts which are bad debts and are written off as such during the year of income, and;\nhave been brought to account as assessable income of any year; or\nare in respect of money lent in the ordinary course of the business of the lending of money by a taxpayer who carries on that business,\nshall be allowable deductions.'\n24. Four conditions must be satisfied in order to qualify for a bad debt deduction. First, a debt must exist. Second, the debt must be bad. Third, the debt must be written off as a bad debt during the year of income in which the deduction is claimed. Fourth, the debt must have been brought to account as assessable income in any year or, in the case of a money lender, the debt must be in respect of money lent in the ordinary course of the business of lending of money by a taxpayer who carries on that business.\nWhat constitutes a 'debt' for section 63?\n25. A debt may be defined as a sum of money due from one person to another. As a general rule where a taxpayer is entitled to receive a sum of money from another either at law or in equity, it is accepted that a debt exists for the purposes of section 63. There is a debt for the purposes of section 63 where a taxpayer has merely an equitable entitlement to the debt (G.E. Crane Sales Pty Ltd v. F.C. of T. (1971) 126 CLR 177, 71 ATC 4268, 2 ATR 692).\nWhen will a debt be bad?\n26. Whether a debt is bad depends upon an objective consideration of all the relevant circumstances of each case. Strictly speaking, in the case of an individual debtor, a debt is not 'bad' until the debtor has died without assets, or has become insolvent and his estate has been distributed, or the debt has become statute barred. In the case of a corporate debtor a similar situation would arise on receipt of the liquidator's final distribution or when the company is completely wound up.\n27. However, because subsection 63(3) contemplates that an amount may subsequently be received in respect of a debt previously written off as bad, it is considered that, for the purposes of section 63, the debt need not necessarily be 'bad' in the strict sense as indicated in paragraph 26 above.\n28. In support of the view expressed in paragraph 27, Harvey ACJ in Elder Smith & Co Ltd v. Commissioner of Taxation (NSW) (1931) 1 ATD 241, (affirmed in Elder Smith v. F.C. of T. (1932) 47 CLR 471) considered a similar bad debts provision in the State Income Tax (Management) Act 1928 (NSW). He made an obiter observation that the legislation contemplated a debt being bad where it was 'a conjectural bad debt for the time being' (at p. 242). Similarly, in Anderson and Halstead Ltd v. Birrell (1932) 16 TC 200 Rowlatt J, in considering the English legislative provision for bad debts, said that an 'estimate' was required as to the extent a debt is bad for the purpose of a profit and loss account. Such an estimate he said 'was a valuation of an asset (the debt) upon the facts and probabilities at the time the writing off of the debt takes place'. The Taxation Board of Review in Case 26 (1945) 11 CTBR (OS) 94 also observed at p.94 that '[i]t may happen - although it seems quite improbable - that through some turn of fortune portion of the amount in question will yet be recovered, but any such consideration cannot affect the issue.'\n29. As long as the commercial judgment pointing to the relevant facts indicates that a debt is bad for the time being, the debt is accepted as bad for section 63 purposes. It is not essential that a creditor take all legally available steps to recover the debt. What is necessary is that the creditor make a bona fide assessment, based on sound commercial considerations, of the extent to which the debt is bad.\n30. Although the debt need not be bad in the strict sense it must nonetheless be more than merely doubtful. For example, a debt will not be accepted as bad merely because a certain set period of time for payment (e.g. 180 days or 270 days) has elapsed with no payment or contact having been made by the debtor.\n31. A debt may be considered to have become bad in any of the following circumstances:\nthe debtor has died leaving no, or insufficient, assets out of which the debt may be satisfied;\nthe debtor cannot be traced and the creditor has been unable to ascertain the existence of, or whereabouts of, any assets against which action could be taken;\nwhere the debt has become statute barred and the debtor is relying on this defence (or it is reasonable to assume that the debtor will do so) for non-payment;\nif the debtor is a company, it is in liquidation or receivership and there are insufficient funds to pay the whole debt, or the part claimed as a bad debt;\nwhere, on an objective view of all the facts or on the probabilities existing at the time the debt, or a part of the debt, is alleged to have become bad, there is little or no likelihood of the debt, or the part of the debt, being recovered.\n32. While individual cases may vary, as a practical guide a debt will be accepted as bad under category (e) above where, depending on the particular facts of the case, a taxpayer has taken the appropriate steps in an attempt to recover the debt and not simply written it off as bad. Generally speaking such steps would include some or all of the following, although the steps undertaken will vary depending upon the size of the debt and the resources available to the creditor to pursue the debt:\nreminder notices issued and telephone/mail contact is attempted;\na reasonable period of time has elapsed since the original due date for payment of the debt. This will of necessity vary depending upon the amount of the debt outstanding and the taxpayers' credit arrangements (e.g. 90, 120 or 150 days overdue);\nformal demand notice is served;\nissue of, and service of, a summons;\njudgment entered against the delinquent debtor;\nexecution proceedings to enforce judgment;\nthe calculation and charging of interest is ceased and the account is closed, (a tracing file may be kept open; also, in the case of a partial debt write-off, the account may remain open);\nvaluation of any security held against the debt;\nsale of any seized or repossessed assets.\nWhile the above factors are indicative of the circumstances in which a debt may be considered bad, ultimately the question is one of fact and will depend on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the transactions. All pertinent evidence including the value of collateral securing the debt and the financial condition of the debtor should be considered. Ultimately, the taxpayer is responsible for establishing that a debt is bad and bears the onus of proof in this regard.\n33. Subsection 63(2) provides for a debt being bad where the debtor has become bankrupt or has executed a deed of assignment or scheme of arrangement. The debt will be bad to the extent to which the amount of the debt owed to a taxpayer exceeds the amount, if any, which will be received by the taxpayer. Where the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver or liquidator advises the creditor of the amount expected to be paid in respect of the debt, the remainder of the debt can be written off as bad when the advice is given.\nA deduction for a bad debt is allowable in the year of income in which the debt is written off\n34. It is not enough to simply make a provision for a bad debt. The debt has to be written off as a bad debt and it has to be written off before year's end. The question has often arisen as to what the term 'written off' means. In Case 33 (1941) 10 TBRD 101 the Taxation Board of Review expressed at p.103 the view that:\n'... the writing off of a bad debt does not necessitate a particular form of book entry or even a book entry at all. It is sufficient, we think, if there are written particulars - there must, of course, be something in writing - which indicates that the creditor has treated the debt as bad.'\n35. There is a requirement that the debt has to be physically written off. Note the following relevant comments of the Chairman of the Taxation Board of Review in Case 28 (1947) 13 TBRD 223 at p.239:\n'\"Bad debts written off as such in the year of income\": I am unable to share the view that the condition denoted by these words can be satisfied where, in respect of a debt owed to the taxpayer concerned, there is no evidence whatever that anything was put in writing, in the year of income, from which it could be gathered that the taxpayer intended to treat the debt as bad. The words are plain and positive and they are so clearly objective that their very purpose seems to me to be to put the onus upon any taxpayer who seeks to obtain the benefit provided by the section to prove (if so required) by sufficient evidence that there was a physical writing off of the debt in the year of income..... However, the need for the condition as to the writing off of bad debts is fairly apparent. Against any suggestion that the condition that the debts must be bad makes the further condition superfluous, it has to be borne in mind that in the average case that taxpayer must be allowed a considerable latitude in the exercise of his judgment as to the extent to which any particular debt is bad, the reason being that it is frequently impossible to foresee future events which might affect the worth of the debt. The Commissioner is in no better position and, although Section 63(3) is the logical and necessarily intended corrective of the excessive writing off of bad debts by reason of errors of judgment or the unavoidable failure of careful forecasts, the statutory condition as to writing off is a necessary corrective of the difficulties which would arise ... as to which year among several a debt is to be claimed or treated as bad.'\n36. The requirements of section 63 may be satisfied even though a debt is not written off in the books of account, for example, section 63 will still be satisfied in the following circumstances:\na Board meeting authorises the writing off of a debt and there is a physical recording of the written particulars of the debt and Board's decision before year end but the writing off of the debt in the taxpayer's books of account occurs subsequent to year end;\na written recommendation by the financial controller to write off a debt which is agreed to by the managing director in writing prior to year end followed by a physical writing off in the books of account subsequent to year end.\n37. No deduction will be allowed in a year, if the debt is written off after the year's end at the time when the books of account are being prepared (i.e. as a balance day adjustment made after the close of the income year). The decision of Owen J in Point v. F.C. of T. (1970) 119 CLR 453, 70 ATC 4021, 1 ATR 577 makes this requirement quite clear. At CLR p. 458, ATC p. 4023, ATR p. 580 Owen J said:\n'The fact is, however, that during that year neither that nor any other figure was written off by the appellant as a bad debt. The entry purporting to write off $X as a bad debt was not made until many months after the end of that year and, in my opinion, the Commissioner rightly refused to apply section 63. For the appellant, however, it was argued that the words in the section, \"written off as such during the year of income\", are not to be given what appears to me to be their plain meaning and that the section is sufficiently complied with if the debt is not written off \"during the year of income\" but at some later date, provided that the writing off relates back to the year of income. I am unable to accept this proposition. \"During the year of income\" means in my opinion \"in the course of the year of income\". No doubt if a debt is written off as bad after a year of income has passed, it will be allowable as a deduction in the year in which the writing off takes place, provided of course that the other conditions laid down by the section are fulfilled.'\n38. Furthermore, it is essential that a debt be in existence in order that it may be written off as bad. Point v. F.C. of T. (supra) also demonstrates that a debt cannot be written off after it has been settled, compromised, otherwise extinguished or assigned. In that case, the taxpayer released a debtor from a debt under a scheme of arrangement in the 1964 income year. In the following income year the taxpayer purported to write off the debt as bad under section 63. Owen J held that at the time of the purported writing off there was simply no debt in existence because it had been extinguished in the previous income year. A similar conclusion was reached in Franklin's Selfserve Pty Ltd v. F.C. of T. (1970) 125 CLR 52, 70 ATC 4079, 1 ATR 673 and G.E. Crane Sales Pty Ltd v. F.C. of T. (supra). Therefore, once a debt has been settled, compromised, otherwise extinguished or assigned no further amounts can be claimed as bad debts for the purposes of section 63. This principle equally applies where the extinguishment of the debt and the writing off of the debt occur in the same financial year. If the writing-off of the debt occurred after the extinguishment or the disposal of the debt, no deduction is allowable under section 63. It is, therefore, important that a creditor should not delay the writing-off process until after the debt is extinguished.\n39. The mere writing-off of a debt does not necessarily relieve the debtor from ever having to pay the liability. If the financial position of the debtor subsequently improves or the circumstances which led to the debt being written off alter, action may be taken to collect the debt. However, no amount is to be treated as assessable income under subsection 63(3) until such time as the debt (or part of it) is recovered.\nThe debt must have been brought to account as assessable income\n40. The requirement of paragraph 63(1)(a) that the debt was previously brought to account as assessable income presupposes a non-cash basis of returning income for tax purposes. For a taxpayer who operates on a cash receipts basis and lodges returns of income on that basis the taxpayer is not entitled to a deduction for bad debts. As the outstanding amount has not been received it has never been included in the assessable income of the taxpayer. Support for this view can be found in Case P78 82 ATC 381; 26CTBR(NS)Case10 (at ATC p.385, CTBR p. 92) which states that '[s]peaking generally, it is impossible for a taxpayer to properly claim a bad debt as a deduction under sec.63 if he is conducting his business on a cash basis; the requirement of sec.63(1)(a) simply cannot operate in regard to such a business.'.\n41. If a taxpayer is carrying on the business of lending money, it is not necessary that the debt be previously brought to account as assessable income provided it is in respect of money lent by the taxpayer in the ordinary course of a money lending business (paragraph 63(1)(b)).\nWho is a 'money-lender'?\n42. Paragraph 63(1)(b) is a specific provision relating directly to taxpayers who carry on the business of lending money and in the ordinary course of that business suffer a bad debt in respect of any money lent.\n43. The question of whether a taxpayer is carrying on the business of lending money is necessarily a question of fact. However, the following passage of Bowen CJ in F.C. of T. v. Marshall and Brougham Pty Ltd 17 FCR 541, 87 ATC 4522, 18 ATR 859 at ATC p. 4528, ATR p. 866 provides some useful general guidelines on determining whether a taxpayer is a money-lender:\n'It is generally accepted that in order to be regarded as carrying on a business one must demonstrate continuity and system in one's dealings. In the case of money lending it has been said that a person must hold himself out as willing to lend money generally to all and sundry (subject to credit-worthiness): see Litchfield v. Dreyfus [1906] 1 KB 584. It is not decisive whether the lender is a registered money-lender or not, although this will be a factor to take into account. It should be mentioned that it need not be the only business or the principal business of the taxpayer. It will be insufficient, however, if it is merely ancillary or incidental to the primary business. In the end, it will be a question of fact for the court to decide by looking at all the circumstances involved: see Newton v. Pyke (1908) 25 TLR 127.'\n44. The frequently quoted statement of Farwell J in Litchfield v. Dreyfus [1906] 1 KB 584 at p. 589 that:\n'Speaking generally, a man who carries on a money-lending business is one who is ready and willing to lend to all and sundry, provided that they are from his point of view eligible'\nshould not restrict the meaning of 'money-lender' for taxation purposes in light of the more recent Australian cases of Fairway Estates Pty Ltd v. F.C. of T. (1970) 123 CLR 153, 70 ATC 4061, 1 ATR 726; F.C. of T. v. Marshall and Brougham Pty Ltd (supra); and F.C. of T. v. Bivona Pty Ltd 90 ATC 4168, 21 ATR 151.\n45. These recent cases have highlighted the differences between the laws relating to the control of money-lenders and the laws relating to the taxing of money-lenders. In particular, the joint judgment in FCT v. Bivona Pty Ltd (supra) at ATC p.4173, ATR p.156 concluded that '[w]hether Farwell J.'s statement (in the Litchfield case) is consistent with modern authority is not a matter for us to consider because it is used in the context of moneylending legislation, whereas a different inquiry is involved in this case.'. Litchfield v. Dreyfus (supra) was a case under the Moneylenders Act 1900 (UK) and not under a taxing statute.\n46. Accordingly, for the purposes of paragraph 63(1)(b), a money lender need not necessarily be ready and willing to lend moneys to the public at large or to a wide class of borrowers. It would be sufficient if the taxpayer lends moneys to certain classes of borrowers provided the taxpayer does so in a businesslike manner with a view to yielding a profit from it.\nWhat does 'in respect of' mean?\n47. The term 'in respect of' in the context of paragraph 63(1)(b) was considered by the Full Federal Court in F.C. of T. v. National Commercial Banking Corporation of Australia Ltd 83 ATC 4715,15 ATR 21. At ATC p. 4719, ATR p. 25 Bowen CJ, Fisher and Lockhart JJ in a joint judgment observed that:\n'Bad debts which are \"in respect of money lent in the ordinary course\" of a money-lending business would in ordinary parlance encompass all constituents of the debt including principal and interest. To exclude interest from the subject matter of para. (b) is to depart from the natural and ordinary sense of the provisions. ... Once it is clear that the principal amount of the loan is within the scope of the paragraph then it becomes impossible in our view to construe the paragraph by including items such as costs and charges but excluding a basic component of the loan, namely interest.'\n48. The term 'in respect of money lent' in paragraph 63(1)(b) is, therefore, to be given its widest meaning, and it includes not only the principal of the loan, but also any capitalised interest and associated costs, charges, fees etc.\nMoney lent in the ordinary course of the business of lending money by a taxpayer who carries on that business\n49. The question has been raised as to whether the test that 'a taxpayer who carries on that business' in paragraph 63(1)(b) requires the taxpayer to be in the business of a money lender both at the time the loan was made and also when the bad debt is written off. It is clear that the money lending business must have been carried on at the time the loan was made. In Fairway Estates (supra) Barwick CJ (at ATC p. 4066, ATR p. 732) gave judicial support to this view. He took the view '... that the advance of the money in question should have been made by the claimant taxpayer in the ordinary course of the business of lending money then carried on by him.' [emphasis added]\n50. In Marshall and Brougham (supra) Bowen CJ took a similar view (at ATC p. 4528, ATR p. 866):\n'...the taxpayer must be in the business of lending money at the time of making the advance in respect of which the deduction is claimed.' [emphasis added]\n51. It is not so clear that a taxpayer must also be carrying on a money lending business at the time the debt is written off. There is some support from old Board of Review decisions that paragraph 63(1)(b) requires that a business of money lending be carried on at the time of writing off the debt. However, statements by Bowen CJ in Marshall and Brougham (supra) and Barwick CJ in Fairway Estates (supra) at ATC 4063, ATR 728, indicate that a taxpayer must only be in the business of money lending at the time the loan was made.\n52. On balance we accept that a taxpayer does not have to be carrying on a business of money lending at the time the debt is written off in order to satisfy the requirements of paragraph 63(1)(b).\nSections 63A, 63B and 63C\n53. Where the taxpayer claiming the bad debt deduction is a company the deductibility under either section 63 or section 51 is subject to the operation of sections 63A, 63B and 63C.\n54. The effect of sections 63A and 63B is that a bad debt is not deductible unless there is a continuity of beneficial ownership of the company existing at all times both in the year the debt arose and in the year when the bad debt is written off or the loss is incurred.\n55. Section 63C qualifies the operation of sections 63A and 63B in that where there is a continuity of carrying on the same business existing at the time immediately before the change in ownership and in the year in which the bad debt is written off or the loss is incurred, sections 63A and 63B will not operate to deny the deduction.\n56. It is, therefore, clear that one or other of the tests outlined above must be satisfied by a company if it is to qualify for a deduction in respect of bad debts.\n57. Where a deduction for a bad debt is not allowable under section 63 it may nevertheless be allowable under section 51. Support for this view can be found in the following comments made by Jacobs J in Marshall and Brougham Pty Ltd v. F.C. of T. 86 ATC 4469 at p. 4474; 17 ATR 834 at p. 840:\n'It is now well settled that a loss being a bad debt which may not be an allowable deduction under sec. 63(1) may nevertheless be an allowable deduction under sec. 51(1)...'\nOn appeal the Full Federal Court (87 ATC 4522, 18 ATR 859) endorsed the view of Jacobs J.\n58. For a loss to be an allowable deduction pursuant to subsection 51(1) it must have been incurred in gaining or producing assessable income or in carrying on a business for the purpose of gaining or producing assessable income. In addition, the loss must not be of a capital, private or domestic nature.\n59. In the circumstances of this Ruling the two important considerations will be whether a loss occasioned by a bad debt has been incurred and whether it is of a capital nature.\n60. If a creditor realises a loss at the time it disposes of, settles, compromises or otherwise extinguishes a debt such a loss will, for the purposes of subsection 51(1), be incurred at that time.\n61. Where, however, a debt could be considered to be bad but has not been disposed of, settled, compromised or otherwise extinguished a question may arise as to whether a loss has been incurred for the purposes of subsection 51(1). Dicta of Barwick CJ and Mason J (as he then was) in AGC (Advances) Ltd. v. F.C. of T. 75 ATC 4057; 5 ATR 243 suggest that a bad debt deduction is allowable under subsection 51(1) provided that the debt has been written off.\n62. In AGC (Advances) Barwick CJ observed (at ATC p. 4065, ATR p. 252) that:\n'The loss from an accounting point of view must occur at the time when the appellant accepts the position that the debt is irrecoverable. If a hire purchase company decided to wind up and to discontinue the granting of hire purchase agreements in a particular year, and in a subsequent year the company in liquidation found itself unable to recover instalment of hire on the goods in circumstances which caused it to write the amount off as a bad debt, it seems to me not merely unjust but unacceptable to hold that it could not deduct that loss as a loss which it had incurred in the course of gaining assessable income.' (emphasis added)\n63. Comments of Mason J (ATC pp. 4071-4072, ATR p. 260) are also relevant. His Honour observed that:\n'a loss constituted by the writing off of a bad debt is no doubt incurred, in the sense that it is sustained, at the time when the debt is written off . . . the loss may be said to be one which was incurred in the carrying on of a business . . . notwithstanding that its true character as a loss is not finally ascertained until the debt is written off'.\n64. Support for the view that a bad debt deduction is not allowable under subsection 51(1) until such time as the debt is written off can also be found in the wording of sections 63A to 63C. These sections deny a bad debt deduction to companies under subsections 51(1) and 63(1) unless certain conditions are met. These conditions include the requirements that the debt be bad and be written off as such.\n65. We are of the view, therefore, that a bad debt deduction is allowable under subsection 51(1) when it is written off. The tests in section 63 will apply in this situation (see paragraphs 31 to 36).\n66. The availability of a deduction under subsection 51(1) for a loss occasioned by a bad debt is also dependant upon the loss not being of a capital nature.\n67. The question of whether or not such a loss is of a revenue or capital nature depends upon a consideration of the facts and circumstances in each case. It is necessary to ascertain the circumstances which occasioned the loss and the relation that these circumstances bear to the taxpayer's income earning activities. If the loss is an ordinary incident of the taxpayer's income earning activities then the loss will be on revenue account. For example, a bad debt loss incurred by a financial institution would generally be expected to be a revenue loss.\n68. In Marshall and Brougham Pty Ltd v. F.C. of T. (supra), for example, the taxpayer carried on business as a building contractor. The taxpayer frequently had to handle substantial cash funds in excess of its immediate needs. It placed these surpluses in interest bearing deposits, usually at call. An amount of $500 000 was placed on deposit with a finance company which subsequently collapsed. The loss was not an allowable deduction under subsection 63(1) because the Court did not consider that the taxpayer was carrying on the business of a moneylender. The Court determined, however, that the loss was an allowable deduction pursuant to subsection 51(1) because of the connection between the loss and the activities of the taxpayer which where productive of assessable income.\n69. In recognition of the difficulties in determining the extent to which a debt may be bad the Act contains a specific provision in subsection 63(3) to recoup any excessive write off of a debt.\n70. Where a debt has been written off as bad but the whole debt or some portion of it is subsequently received, the receipt will constitute assessable income of the taxpayer in the year of receipt.\n71. The allowance of a bad debt deduction under section 51, in lieu of section 63, does not affect the operation of subsection 63(3) to bring into assessable income any amount of the debt recovered by the taxpayer. A recent amendment made to subsection 63(3) clarifies that where a taxpayer receives an amount in respect of a debt for which a deduction has been previously allowed under section 51, the recovered amount is assessable under subsection 63(3). Although the amendment only applies after 26 February 1992, it does no more than confirm our view of the law before the amendment was made.\nPartial debt write-offs\n72. A taxpayer may write off a bad portion of a debt (partial debt) and be entitled to a deduction for that part only. Subsection 63(4) clarifies this position. Although the amendment only applies after 26 February 1992, it does no more than confirm our view of the law before the amendment was made.\nSecurities and partial debt write-offs\n73. Generally, property in assets may be transferred to the creditor as security against the debt, or in satisfaction of the debt when the debt or a part of the debt becomes irrecoverable. Where the property is held as security against the debt, the legal title may be transferred to the creditor or the creditor may become a mortgagee in possession and obtain an equitable interest in the security (this would occur, for example, where a creditor enters into a power of sale arrangement). The right to deal with the security property does not usually crystallise until the debt cannot be paid (i.e. generally when the debt becomes bad). On the other hand, where the property is transferred to the creditor in satisfaction of the debt, the creditor is able to deal with it upon transfer.\n74. Once the creditor is able to deal with the property, several options are open to the creditor. One option that is generally adopted is to sell the property immediately to recover the debt. The other options include the holding of the property expecting a more favourable market situation, or to further develop the property for future sale or retain for own use.\n75. In any of these situations, the provision of the property may either:\nsatisfy the debt only to the extent of the net amount realised from the sale or the value of the property if it is not sold immediately; or\nfully satisfy the existing debt.\n(1) Partial satisfaction of the debt\n76. Where property held as security against a debt is sold and the debt is discharged only to the extent of the net proceeds realised from the sale and the remaining debt is still outstanding, the remaining debt will be deductible as a partial bad debt if the requirements of section 63 are met. The remaining debt is any deficiency between the net proceeds of the sale of the property and the amount of the debt.\n77. Where the property is valued but not sold and its market value is less than the debt outstanding, the difference between the market value of the property and the amount of the debt may be allowed as a partial bad debt deduction provided also the requirements of section 63 are met.\n78. A deduction may also be available under subsection 51(1) in the circumstances outlined in paragraphs 76 & 77.. Whether or not such a deduction would be allowable under subsection 51(1) will depend upon the requirements in paragraphs 65 to 67 being met.\n79. Upon eventual sale or disposal of the property, subsection 63(3) would operate to bring to account as assessable income any amount received that was in excess of the value of the property as determined when the debt was written off as bad. The subsection 63(3) amount is, however, limited to the amount previously allowed as a deduction. If the amount received upon the sale or disposal of the property exceeds the sum of the market value of the property at the time the debt was written off and the subsection 63(3) amount, the excess would generally be assessable under the ordinary income or capital gains provisions depending on the nature of the business carried on by the taxpayer.\n(2) Full satisfaction of the debt\n80. If property is taken in full satisfaction of the debt in such a way that the debt is fully discharged or extinguished (e.g. by foreclosure) and the market value of the property is less than the debt outstanding, the difference between the market value of the property and the amount of the debt is allowable as a partial bad debt deduction provided the requirements of section 63 are met. This means that a bad debt must be written off before the debt is extinguished (see paragraph 38 above). If this test is not met no deduction is allowable under section 63.\n81. Where a bad debt deduction is not allowable under section 63, the loss may nonetheless be deductible under subsection 51(1) if the loss is of a revenue nature or taken into account under the capital gains tax provisions if it is of a capital nature.\n82. When the property is subsequently sold, any profit or loss on disposal will be taken into account in the calculation of taxable income either under the general income/deduction provisions or under the capital gains tax provisions. Whether a deduction for any loss is allowable under section 51 will necessarily turn on the nature of the taxpayer's business and the property sold. The same considerations will need to be given to the inclusion of any profit on sale of the security under section 25. In the event that sections 25 and 51 do not apply the capital gains tax provisions may apply.\n83. Assume, for example, that a financial institution forecloses a debt of $150 and receives property with a market value of $100 at that time. The $50 loss will be an allowable deduction under subsection 63(1) provided that the institution has written off $50 as a bad debt prior to the foreclosure. In the circumstances of this case the loss will also be an allowable deduction pursuant to subsection 51(1), although a deduction could not be claimed twice. For the purposes of calculating any gain or loss in respect of a subsequent disposal of the property the property will have an acquisition cost of $100.\n84. A debt for equity swap occurs in circumstances where the debtor is unable to repay a debt, or part of a debt, and, after agreement with the lender, issues equity (usually shares) to replace the debt outstanding. The effect of the agreement is that the issue of the equity to the creditor is in full satisfaction of the debt such that the debt is discharged.\n85. Sections 63E and 63F are specific provisions allowing deductions for losses (called \"swap losses\") in respect of debts extinguished in this manner after 26 February 1992. The allowable loss is the amount by which the amount of the debt exceeds the value of the equity received in the swap.\n86. Sections 63E and 63F only apply in respect of debt for equity swaps in which the debtor is a company, a trading trust, or a public unit trust and the debtor issues shares or units, as the case may be. The explanatory memorandum accompanying the introduction of sections 63E and 63F contains step by step examples which illustrate the operation of these provisions.\n87. Prior to 27 February 1992 a bad debt loss arising out of a debt for equity swap may, depending on the circumstances, be an allowable deduction under either of subsections 63(1) or 51(1).\n88. A deduction is allowable under subsection 63(1) provided that the requirements of section 63 are met, i.e., if the taxpayer had written off that portion of the debt that was bad (the deficiency between the debt owed and the market value of the equity to be issued) before the debt was discharged under the debt for equity swap agreement.\n89. The following examples demonstrate the application of section 63 to debt for equity swaps carried out before 27 February 1992.\nA financial institution has a debt of $150, none of which has been written off as a bad debt. The institution and the borrower agree to enter into a debt for equity swap whereby $100 of the debt is to be applied in issuing the institution with 100 shares, with a par value of $1.00 each, in the borrower. These shares have a market value of $25.00 at the time of the swap. The remaining $50 of debt, which is not involved in the debt for equity swap, is clearly a bad debt. The tax treatment of the institution is:\n$50 can be written off as a bad debt and a deduction claimed under paragraph 63(1)(b).\na further deduction would be allowable under paragraph 63(1)(b) for $75 (the difference between the amount of the debt involved in the debt for equity swap and the market value of the equity obtained in the swap) if the debt was written off as bad prior to the discharge of the debt under the debt for equity swap agreement.\nfor the purposes of determining whether a gain or loss is made on the subsequent disposal of the shares, the shares will have a cost of $25.\nA financial institution has a debt of $150 which has been written off as bad and in respect of which a deduction has been allowed under section 63. Subsequently the institution and the borrower enter into a debt for equity swap agreement whereby $100 of the debt is applied in issuing the institution with 100 shares, with a par value of $1.00 each, in the borrower. These shares have a market value of $25.00 at the time of the swap. In this case the tax treatment of the institution is:\n$25 will be included in the institution's assessable income pursuant to subsection 63(3). The market value of the shares ($25) received in the debt for equity swap is a recovery in respect of a debt for the purposes of subsection 63(3).\n90. Where a bad debt deduction is not allowable under subsection 63(1) a deduction may be allowable under subsection 51(1) for the loss arising out of a debt for equity swap. The availability of a deduction in these circumstances depends upon considerations such as the nature of the taxpayer's business and the degree of connection between the loss and the activities of the taxpayer which are productive of assessable income. For example, it is expected that a financial institution would generally be entitled to a deduction under subsection 51(1).\n91. The explanation at paragraphs 80 to 83 above is also applicable to debt for equity swaps undertaken before 27 February 1992.\nPreviously released in draft form as EDR 42\nNO 86/7532-5; 91/3875-7; 92/4372-1\ndebt/equity swaps\nITAA 25\nITAA 63A-63C\nITAA 63E-F\nITAA Part IIIA\nAGC (Advances) Ltd v.

        "raw_content": "#Read30\nAs a former teacher, I know how important it is for children to be good readers. As someone who truly enjoys reading, I\u2019d love to pass the love of reading on to my children. This is why when I heard about The Children\u2019s Trust and the #Read30 movement, I thought it would be great to share with you and challenge you to participate along with me.\nIf you are a family in South Florida, the Children\u2019s Trust is challenging you to join the #Read30 movement and close the summer reading gap, aka the \u201csummer slide.\u201d\nThe social media campaign began June 1 and is running through August, and it asks parents and caregivers to read with their children for 30 minutes each day. The campaign is part of The Trust\u2019s Read to Learn initiative, aimed at increasing the number of children who read at or above grade level by the third grade. How can you participate? Easy! Read with your children for 30 minutes a day. Then share a photo to social media and use the hashtag #Read30.\n\u201cReading achievement can typically decline an average of three months in summer and the best way to prevent kids from losing that kind of ground is to keep them reading, which is what #Read30 intends to do,\u201d says James R. Haj, president and CEO of The Children\u2019s Trust.\nReading with your children on a daily basis can really give them a leg up and help them succeed in school and in life. Aside from reading together for 30 minutes each day, The Children\u2019s Trust also suggests following these simple guidelines:\nCreate a home library of children\u2019s books. We color coordinate our books so that they are visually appealing and easy for Caleb to organize. It\u2019s also at his level, so taking a book off the shelf is easy for him. I also keep a rotating selection on his nightstand based on the season or anything I want to focus on with him for a few weeks.\nFor very young children, select books with faces, animals and objects to point to and talk about. Goodnight Moon and Brown Bear, Brown Bear are two of Caleb\u2019s favorites, and he can actually recite most of those two now.\nRead in a fun voice, using different intonations for different characters. Eddie is really good at this. He gives accents to characters and everything. It\u2019s really fun watching him read to Caleb.\nTalk to the child and answer questions. Ask questions of your own and listen to the child's responses. Ask about colors, about what it happening in pictures, and ask them to predict.\nTalk about the words on the page, letter sounds and how we read from left to right and from top to bottom. Use your finger as a guide as you read. Even if they can\u2019t read yet, they will start to pick up on it.\nSummer reading always felt like a huge chore while I was in school, but it\u2019s so important. For kids who have assigned summer reading books, try and get involved with what they are reading. Once they\u2019ve finished their required reading, let them choose their own reading material. Take them to a bookstore and let them browse. Give them ownership of their reading material. I LOVE to read and I finished the last few Harry Potter books in under a day, yet required reading was always the worst for me to get through and would take me weeks. [Teachers, one thing I used to do was assign one book and then make the second book reader\u2019s choice - it had to meet certain requirements or it was chosen from an extensive list. They had to do a full on report once school started, but I had a lot more success that way.]\nAnd thirty minutes may sound like a lot if your kids are little like mine, but you can break it up! Read a book in the morning, another after lunch, and then again at bedtime. Remember, it all adds up!\nChildren who read for 30 minutes daily are more likely to read at grade level by the third grade, increasing the likelihood of academic and professional success. According to a 2010 report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, \u201creading proficiently by the end of third grade can be a make-or-break benchmark in a child\u2019s educational development.\u201d Until the end of third grade, most children are learning to read, but beginning in the fourth grade, they are reading to learn.\nSo join me this summer and share your your photos across social media using the hashtag #Read30. I can wait to follow along!\nFor more information on The Children\u2019s Trust and the Read to Learn initiative, please visit https://www.thechildrenstrust.org/read30.",

Due later, the flagship X350d will comes fitted with Mercedes-Benz's venerable 3.0-litre CDI V6 oil-burner, which produces 190 kW and 550 Nm of torque, and is linked to a seven-speed automatic 'box with permanent 4Matic all-wheel drive.\nLocal pricing is yet to be finalised although the X-class in Germany will kick-off from \u20ac37 294 (R582 012).\nAuto Dealer \u00bb Motoring \u00bb Articles \u00bb Latest News \u00bb Mercedes-Benz gives S-class a green heart, opens X-class order books",

In 1994 there were 48,983 cases heard where a women beats her husband. As low as a number as this may seem, it is quite deceiving. If you ponder about this for a while, this is only the number of cases heard, not all of them. You must think about all of the men who are embarrassed and have entirely too much pride to proclaim that his wife physically abuses him. So theoretically, there are possibly tens of thousands of more cases of domestic violence, where as men are the victims. Out of all male homicides, approximately 3.3% were committed by the victim\u2019s spouse. While men who commit domestic violence use there bodies to harm the victim, women will usually use weapons such as cooking knifes, bats, guns, and on some occasions forks.\nOn many occasions, children are not even considered to be an attacker when it comes to domestic violence. However one must think about fights with siblings and on a rare occasion hitting their parents but mainly their mother. When siblings fight as much as it is, the injury may vary from, a bruise on the knee, to a broken arm, or even accidental death. As hard as it is to believe it, an ignorant sibling fight over the remote has actually ended up in the result in death. An estimated $1.28 billion are spent in hospitals to treat children that were engaged in fights with their siblings. Children fighting their siblings aren\u2019t the only forms domestic violence that was to do with children were they are the attacker. Although it doesn\u2019t happen nearly as much as children physically abusing their sibling\u2019s, they also abuse their parents, but mainly their mothers. This is only referring to children who constantly beat their mothers and are over 12. Mothers of these abusive and disrespectful children are usually in the hospital for broken bones. There are an extremely low amount of cases where a child beats there father, this might be because the majority of children who abuse their mother, also live in a house where their father left them. Although some children abuse their siblings and mother, most children are on the victim side of domestic violence. Out of all families who have children, 2 out of...\nAward in Education and Training - Roles and Responsibilities\nDevelop and Implement Reactive Monitoring Systems for Health and Safety\nA Response Essay - Distinctively Visual: Henry Lawson\nLaw Case Family Dollar Robbery Essay\nUnit 2 Principles of Personal Development in Adult Social Care Setting\nEco 372 Final Exam (Latest) Uop Complete Course Tutorials",

        "raw_content": "South Africas Role In Southern Africa\nSouth Africa\u2019s role in Southern Africa after 1994 will be discussed by involving themes such as the prospects for external capital flows to Southern Africa and there are three categories of external resources, namely, direct investments, long term non-concessional loans and development assistance (ODA). Anti-apartheid will also be looked at as well as South Africa\u2019s regional policy since 1994.\nAs a starting point, some brief facts will be discussed surrounding the development of Southern Africa during the 1980\u2019s. During the mid 1980\u2019s, international sanctions strengthened due to South Africa\u2019s apartheid policy and the United States of America (USA), the EC, the Nordic countries and the ...view middle of the document...\nSome of the major SADCC countries such as Tanzania, Mozambique and Zambia were in a serious debt crisis during this time and could not pay scheduled debt service (Oden, 1993: 224). Normally they would only pay such commercial loans if it opens the way of new loans from that current source (Oden, 1993: 225). According to Oden (1993: 225) non-concessional loans were made available to Mozambique and Zambia, in the case Zambia there was reason to, due to the copper mining company, ZCCM, who may receive loans due to its economically semi-autonomous position in the Zambian economy. The main borrowing country during this period was Angola who took 95% of the total net flow despite of the ongoing war during the time, and this could be due and related to its oil exploration which is carried out as a cooperative economy (Oden, 1993: 225).\nWith regard to Aid, during the latter half of the 1980\u2019s, the SADCC has been very \u201caid intensive\u201d and the inflow of aid per capita to the region is more or less three times the average of the third world and its aid intensity could be related to additional aid which was given to support structural adjustment programmes (Oden, 1993: 226).Some of the main donors to the SADCC and the SADCC countries are Sweden, Japan, Italy, UK, EC, Nordic countries, etc (Oden, 1993: 226).\nNow moving on from the 1980\u2019s to the 1990\u2019s, factors influencing future or prospective development in Southern Africa with regards to South Africa\u2019s specific role in its development will be discussed. There are three factors, they occur at the global, regional and national level. With regards to the global level, we have learnt, Southern Africa plays a marginal role in the global economy (Oden, 1993: 226). According to Oden (1993: 230) structural trends due to technological breakthroughs as well as continued low economic growth in the core countries, namely, Japan, Germany and the USA (economic trilaterisation) will reduce their interests in new mineral investments, but the exception to this trend will be Japan who are the fastest growing of the three economic regions (Oden, 1993: 230). During the period of sanctions, economic links between South Africa were increased with Japan, Taiwan, Honk Kong and South Korea and these countries are reliant on the imports of mineral and raw material for their economic growth as this could give a certain economic pull effect in South Africa as well as possibly the Southern African region (Oden, 1993: 230). This will also continue after 1994 and thus explaining a prospective role of South Africa in the Southern African region.\nWith regard to factors at the regional and national level, paying attention to direct investments. South Africa\u2019s gradual dismantling of sanctions and thus its reduced isolation increased the scope for South African companies to invest in neighbouring countries and interest was especially evident in Mozambique and Angola (Oden, 1993: 230-231). Thus it can be thought of that once...\nOther Papers Like South Africas Role in Southern Africa\n1152 words - 5 pages balance the situation throughout the period.

And I have gotten to the point that I am very frustrated when I read a book only to discover at the end the book is the beginning of a series of books. I am beginning to hate that. I just want to read books that have a beginning, middle and end. Or if it has to be part of a series, then I would rather purchase the whole series at once and not read one and wait for the next one to come out. Or get the first one free and then have to pay quite a bit for the rest in the series. I only did that once. The first one was free and then I had to pay $3.99 each for the other three books. That was the only series I liked well enough to buy the others. I don't know if there is a sequel to this one out yet and I'm not sure if I would buy it if there was.\nkger215 More than 1 year ago\nI seriously can't think of anything I didn't like about this book. Seriously. Ms. Brown weaves a tale with very compelling, believable characters in a very horrific, yet believable world. The book is fast paced and even though there are some parts that are a bit predictable, I found that if those parts I predicted didn't happen, the story wouldn't have been nearly as good. I love Brooks, he reminds me a lot of Four in the Divergent series. Cora is a strong, capable leading lady. And her love for Coby, her younger brother makes me truly believe she'd do anything for him. And she does. There's definitely a sequel coming (right???).

Bradford Cat Watch Rescue was contacted and without hesitation took him home to take care of him. He was estimated to be around only 3 weeks old.\nUnfortunately, Carrots has a congenital eye defect, which meant that one eye had never developed and the other was severely ulcerated. This was treated with medication to see if it would resolve, but was unsuccessful. After further consultations with our vet, it was decided the ulcerated eye needed to be removed, this would then leave him completely blind.\nCarrots was admitted for surgery and the operation performed. It was a very risky procedure, not only due to Carrots size and young age, but also because the eye had burst.\nThankfully the operation went OK! No longer than 30 minutes after the operation, Carrots was up and about and eating plenty of food. We couldn\u2019t have asked for a smoother recovery.\nCarrots now has a full life (and diary) at the rescue, amongst having fun with his friends at the rescue he also has many engagements fundraising, and he also does Pets As Therapy Visits.",

        "title": "With Industry Pressures Looming, Colleges and Universities Reconsider Business Models | BDO Nonprofit Standard Blog",
        "raw_content": "With Industry Pressures Looming, Colleges and Universities Reconsider Business Models\nAs our team has been busy preparing for the 2015 EACUBO Annual Workshop in Washington, D.C. next week, the higher education industry has been making headlines. Earlier this month, Sweet Briar College\u2014a small, private nonprofit institution\u2014announced that it would be closing its doors at the end of this summer due to financial difficulties, opting to forego what many perceive would be an inevitable \u201cdeath spiral\u201d.\nSweet Briar is an unfortunate case\u2014but as alarming as it may be, it\u2019s but another proof point highlighting the significant challenges that institutions face when trying to remain relevant and deliver on their mission. As the economy and job market slowly recover, business and policy pressures have intensified for colleges and universities on various fronts: demographic shifts across the U.S. are further pressuring peaking enrollment numbers; high operational costs and the growing influence of alternative methods of education delivery are straining balance sheets; and shortfalls in federal and state funding mean that governments can only do so much to buoy struggling institutions.\nFor many colleges and universities\u2014and particularly institutions with less robust endowments\u2014these pressures have prompted a need to strategically assess the short- and long-term viability of their business models. While many have been adjusting their operational procedures to boost efficiencies, some institutions have taken more aggressive steps to overhaul or restructure their operating models.\nHere are a few of the unique scenarios we\u2019ve seen emerge across the industry:\nFor-profit to nonprofit: While for-profit institutions are able to access diverse sources of private funding, the reputation of the for-profit model has come under considerable public and governmental scrutiny in the last several years. Especially with stricter gainful employment rules on their radar, for-profit colleges and universities are increasingly considering a shift to the nonprofit model. Of course, nonprofit status restricts an institutions\u2019 ownership parameters and moneymaking ventures, but it can provide a reputational boon in the eyes of regulators and prospective students, while also offering all of the financial benefits of tax-exempt status, including eligibility for state grants and other forms of federal student aid.\nNonprofit to benefit corporation: Last month, Alliant International University, a small institution in California, became the first in what is expected to be a number of colleges and universities switching their nonprofit status to a for-profit benefit corporation model. As a tuition-dependent institution with no endowment, the benefit corporation status will allow Alliant to access private capital markets as a for-profit institution, without relinquishing its public commitment to upholding its mission and purpose under California law. This workaround is attractive for some institutions, as it allows access to private funding along with the reputational support of the benefit corporation model, which mandates accountability and transparency. However, the model is still very new, and time will tell how successful Alliant and other institutions will be in adopting and executing this unique approach.\nMergers and joint ventures: In the year ahead, we will see more colleges considering resource sharing and consolidation in the form of mergers and joint venture agreements. Though notoriously difficult to execute, these partnership arrangements can improve operational efficiencies, providing institutions with more resources for outreach, greater diversity of student programs and stronger overall offerings to compete for students and faculty. However, for two organizations to partner or merge, they must carefully and strategically engineer their finances and operations. Above all, they need to achieve alignment across and within the organizations around mission, governance structure and overall objectives for these arrangements to work.\nWith the many pressures and shifts occurring across the higher education industry, how is your college or university strategically evaluating its business model?",

        "raw_content": "Pay Data for \u2018Similarly Qualified Persons in Comparable Positions at Similarly Situated Organizations\u2019 \u2014\"We\u2019ve got that don\u2019t we?\u201d\nBy Michael Conover | October 10, 2018\nValid information on competitive pay levels and practices for \u201c\u2026 similarly qualified persons in comparable positions at similarly situated organizations\u201d has long been the basis for responsible management and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) enforcement of appropriate pay practices among all tax-exempt organizations.\nWhen the IRS\u2019 Intermediate Sanctions (Internal Revenue Code 4958) were enacted, the importance of good comparative data was underscored by its inclusion as one of the three elements of the protection offered in the Rebuttable Presumption of Reasonableness. The data provides a critical context for determining how much and how to pay a nonprofit\u2019s executives.\nRegardless of its importance, however, many organizations fail to devote the attention it deserves. We regularly work with organizations that have difficulty describing or producing the data used as the basis for executive pay decisions. References are made to \u201ca report done a while ago,\u201d \u201ca survey we had,\u201d or \u201csome Form 990s from organizations like us.\u201d From examining the Form 990s and Schedule Js of these same organizations, we find they have checked all the appropriate boxes related to these data sources, and yet there is little or nothing to be found.\nMeanwhile, we find that another group of organizations has a different competitive data issue. These organizations have competitive data to offer as the basis of compensation decisions, but there are serious issues about the quality and comparability of the data being used. The data may be drawn from organizations that are not at all comparable or positions that are marginally similar, or based on such a small sample that its validity is questionable. In these situations, the poor data may be as bad, or possibly worse, than having no data at all because it may lead to problematic pay decisions.\nObtaining and properly using good data for compensation purposes requires some thoughtful examination of your organization, its positions, and the requirements for individuals holding those positions. Only after accurately understanding your own circumstances can a search begin for the sources of valid data needed. Areas that need to be explored include:\nDetails of your organization: This information includes the type of service(s) your organization performs, as well as the broad organizational metrics that reflect its size and scope (e.g., revenue, operating budget, total assets, number of employees, etc.). These are usually among the factors most readily used for identifying similar organizations.\nPrimary role(s) of your position(s): Competitive data sources (surveys, Form 990s, etc.) usually offer only brief descriptions of positions and generic titles for job-matching purposes, so the focus here is on the central focus and overall impact of your position on the organization. The chief/principal executive officer and chief/principal financial officer positions tend to be very similar from one organization to the next and are Disqualified Individuals from an Intermediate Sanctions perspective. Therefore, they are routinely included in competitive data needs. Ensure that you note any significant differences in the role played by your position vs. the typical benchmark. The presence of an additional role not associated with the typical benchmark for the position (or the absence of some portion of the role commonly associated with it) must be taken into account to ensure appropriate comparisons will be made.\nPosition requirements: The emphasis on position requirements is intentional. The purpose is to focus on the essential education, expertise, and experience required to perform the role, not what the current incumbent happens to have or acquired in the role. For example, the fact that the current receptionist has five years of experience at the front desk does not mean that five years is a requirement for a qualified incumbent. On the other hand, your position may require a type of professional certification, education, or experience that is unique and essential for successfully performing the role. For example, an individual holding the position of executive director in an association of athletic coaches and involved with external organizations regulating the conduct of the sport must have credible experience in the sport.\nOnce armed with an accurate understanding of your own organization and the positions that will be examined in the competitive compensation assessment, you should focus your attention on the identification of the data that will be sought for use in the analysis. The process follows the same criteria referenced above in the descriptors of your organization and positions, as follows:\nOrganizations selected for inclusion in the analysis: Typically, these are organizations offering the same types of services that your organization provides. In some instances, there are other types of organizations (perhaps even for-profit ones) that employ and compete for executive resources that are very similar to your organization. These can also be included in the search for competitive data. Compensation surveys are conducted among many different types of nonprofit organizations (e.g., higher education, social services organizations, professional/trade organizations, philanthropic foundations, etc.). In addition, Form 990 filings from other organizations like yours are also a source of competitive data. If necessary, a custom survey and/or consultant may be required to obtain data for specialized or hard-to-find sources of data.\nThe size and scope of organizations included in the analysis must be comparable to your organization. Revenue and budget levels for a group of organizations ranging from 50 percent to 200 percent of your size are typically viewed as reasonable for inclusion. Of course, care must be taken to avoid \u201cskewing\u201d the data in the direction of organizations much larger than your own.\nI often explain the objective for identification of comparable organizations as comparing \u201capples to apples,\u201d but it doesn\u2019t necessarily need to be as specific as comparing a Macintosh to Fuji.\nSelection of benchmark positions: Positions selected for comparisons should closely resemble the role described in your organization. Titles alone may not fully describe a position\u2019s role, or they may be misleading. A controller may be the chief/principal financial officer or a subordinate, depending on the data source in question. In cases where a significant difference has been identified between your position and the external benchmark, it may be advisable to make adjustments (upward or downward) to the competitive data to appropriately compare them.\nSpecial position requirements: Bona fide requirements for your organization\u2019s position that are not typically associated with the benchmark position may also require an adjustment to competitive data to produce an appropriate comparison.\nCollecting this information about your organization and the external benchmarks planned for use prior to an analysis of competitive compensation is not the end of this process. Two critical steps remain.\nFirst, it is important to engage the organization\u2019s governing body (e.g., board or compensation committee) and involve them in a review of the information and affirmation/modification of it for use in the analysis. Involving the independent members of the organization in the process helps educate them about compensation and the importance of good competitive data. It also enlists individuals with a critical oversight role in the governance of pay in an independent validation of the plan to secure the data before it is collected. A sound rationale has been prepared and ratified for the analysis of competitive data, which the board and management should view as valid for this purpose.\nSecond, the description of your organization and positions, as well as the external benchmark criteria or comparative framework, should be documented. It will become part of the other important documents maintained to support the compensation program (e.g., board minutes, compensation strategy and guiding principles, etc.). The framework should be reviewed periodically and updated as needed to ensure its continued relevance to your organization, as well as the external marketplace(s) in which you are competing for executive resources.",

REUTERS/Lucas Jackson (UNITED STATES - Tags: ENTERTAINMENT SOCIETY)\nATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) \u2014 Moments after winning the 2014 Miss America crown, Nina Davuluri described how delighted she is that the nearly century-old pageant sees beauty and talent of all kinds.\nThe 24-year-old Miss New York is the first contestant of Indian heritage to become Miss America; her talent routine was a Bollywood fusion dance.\n\u201cI'm so happy this organization has embraced diversity,\u201d she said in her first press conference after winning the crown in Atlantic City, N.J.'s Boardwalk Hall. \u201cI'm thankful there are children watching at home who can finally relate to a new Miss America.\u201d\nHer pageant platform was \u201ccelebrating diversity through cultural competency.\u201d\nThe native of Syracuse, N.Y. wants to be a doctor, and is applying to medical school, with the help of a $50,000 scholarship she won as part of the pageant title.\nShe is the second consecutive Miss New York to win the Miss America crown, succeeding Mallory Hagan, who was selected in January when the pageant was still held in Las Vegas. The Miss America Organization will compensate Hagan for her shortened reign.\nDavuluri's victory led to some negative comments on Twitter from users upset that someone of Indian heritage had won the pageant. She brushed those aside.\n\u201cI have to rise above that,\u201d she said. \u201cI always viewed myself as first and foremost American.\u201d\nHer grandmother told The Associated Press that she cried when she saw the news on television.\nI am very, very, happy for the girl. It was her dream and it was fulfilled,\" 89-year-old V. Koteshwaramma said by phone from her home in the city of Vijaywada, in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.\nShe said there are numerous doctors in the family, both in the U.S. and India, and that if her granddaughter wants to become one \u201cI am sure she will do it.\u201d\nDavuluri had planned to go to the scene of a devastating boardwalk fire in the New Jersey communities of Seaside Park and Seaside Heights Monday afternoon. But pageant officials canceled that visit after learning that Gov.

Other top 5 finalists included Miss Minnesota, Rebecca Yeh; Miss Florida, Myrrhanda Jones, and Miss Oklahoma, Kelsey Griswold.\nIn the run-up to the pageant, much attention was given to Miss Kansas, Theresa Vail, the Army sergeant who was believed to have been the first Miss America contestant to openly display tattoos.

They are involved with many stakeholders, all with their own wishes and expectations in terms of the social enterprise's performance. For administrators, this implies a continuous search for support for their decisions. A difficult task, because it is simply impossible to satisfy all stakeholders. This is further exacerbated by the fact that choices are diminishing, because financial resources are declining.\nIn terms of this issue, housing associations are in the lead group. In this sector in particular, financial resilience is rapidly declining, while expectations remain unabatedly high. Administrators and supervisory bodies are faced with the difficult task of ensuring that their association makes the right decisions in this context. Or, in other words, ensuring that the association's legitimacy stays intact. This book focuses on this sector without losing sight of the broader perspective of the social enterprise.\nThis legitimacy, or rather lack thereof - \u2018the estrangement of supporters' - manifests itself at unexpected points in time, but also just as easily evaporates again. This book unravels legitimacy on the basis of specific examples from actual practice and provides points of reference for managing this dimension.\nPhilippe Sprenger, Leanne Schoormans and Theo Camps are experts in the field of social enterprise. Based on their research and years of management consulting experience, they advise administrators and directors of social enterprises on issues such as control, legitimacy and accountability.",

        "raw_content": "Article Published in the Connecticut Jewish Ledger on November 16, 2016\nBy Cindy Mindell\nWALLINGFORD \u2013 Two autumns ago, members of Beth Israel Synagogue came to Rabbi Bruce Alpert to express their outrage: the annual Celebrate Wallingford weekend event was slated to open on Yom Kippur. Despite appeals to the mayor, it was too late to change the schedule, and the festival proceeded as planned.\nOn Rosh Hashanah, Alpert delivered a sermon about Israel and offered the congregation an opportunity to continue the conversation at a post-services lunch and learn.\n\u201cBut nobody wanted to talk about Israel; they only wanted to talk about Celebrate Wallingford and what an outrage it was,\u201d recalls Alpert. \u201cThe conclusion I came to was that we were not nearly focused enough on who we are in our congregation and defining ourselves for ourselves, rather than letting the Town of Wallingford, through its neglect, marginalize us.\u201d\nDuring Yom Kippur services, Alpert announced to the 50-family congregation that it was time to rebuild, literally. The synagogue building, erected off Center Street in downtown Wallingford in 1906, had its last makeover in 1967.\n\u201cWe have relatively low dues and some money in the bank and a building that is paid off,\u201d Alpert says. \u201cI and the lay leadership realized that we have two choices: just move along as we are and not challenge the community and see where that leads \u2013 which I think is further shrinkage and further reduction of the importance of the synagogue in people\u2019s lives \u2013 or try and do something bold and vital and make it new.\u201d\nThe \u201cbones\u201d of the 100-plus-year-old building are sound, according to Beth Israel president Alida Cella: updated furnaces, energy-efficient lighting, water-efficient toilets, new roof, etc.\n\u201cBut the rugs are old and worn, the look of the place is just tired, and the entrance looks severe and not revealing of the love that exists inside,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s time to give everyone something that they can invest in and be a part of and be able to call their own. Right now, the building reflects the tastes and investment of a generation or two ago; we need to shed our shell and come into our own and make it what we want it to be. With people able to invest themselves in the project and take ownership, that will hopefully bring our community even closer together and help us attract more people who want to be a part of what we have going on \u2013 community, study, prayer, love, and welcoming.\u201d\nOn Rosh Hashanah this year, Woodbridge-based architect Jay Alpert (a cousin of the rabbi) presented to the congregation architectural drawings and a model showing what their building could look like. Alpert designed the JCC of Greater New Haven and the redesign of the Hebrew Congregation of Woodmont in Milford.\nThe proposed improvements to Beth Israel include a new entryway and reorientation of the sanctuary \u2013 which now faces west \u2013 a mikvah, and a sunken meditation garden.\nIn its totality, the project will probably cost between $1.5 million and $2 million, but the initial challenge is to find new congregants to sustain the building. Rabbi Alpert plans to reach out to the community \u2013 not only in the Jewish community of Wallingford and surrounds, but also to potential local partner organizations as the downtown area is revitalized.\n\u201cWe want to have a building that has programming that\u2019s bringing people, like a small satellite community center,\u201d says congregant Dave Stein, an architect who works with Jay Alpert. \u201cIt\u2019s time to regionalize the synagogue.\u201d\nDrawing from Wallingford, as well as Durham, Northford, Cheshire, Meriden, North Haven, Hamden, and West Haven, Beth Israel is home to a multi-generational, mostly interfaith congregation, according to Cella. While the size of the membership has not grown, it is consistently buoyed by new young families.\nAlpert is hopeful that he can identify new members.\n\u201cEvery time I ask the question, \u2018Are there Jews in Wallingford?\u2019 the response is, \u2018There are more than you think,\u2019\u201d he says. \u201cMy hope in the next several months is to start doing programming that reaches out into the broader Wallingford community, tell them about our plans and project what kind of community we\u2019re trying to build, and identify that we actually have a constituency to serve.\u201d Then the fundraising can commence. \u201cA hundred years ago, Jews came to Wallingford and there was no congregation here and they built one,\u201d he says. \u201cSo why can\u2019t we now rebuild it?\u201d\nCAP: Architect Jay Alpert of Woodbridge examines his model of Wallingford\u2019s proposed Beth Israel Synagogue.",

        "raw_content": "Elijah Announces a Great Drought\n17 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe[a] in Gilead, said to Ahab, \u201cAs the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.\u201d\n5 So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.\nElijah and the Widow at Zarephath\n7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 Then the word of the Lord came to him: 9 \u201cGo at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.\u201d 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, \u201cWould you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?\u201d 11 As she was going to get it, he called, \u201cAnd bring me, please, a piece of bread.\u201d\n17 Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill. He grew worse and worse, and finally stopped breathing. 18 She said to Elijah, \u201cWhat do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?\u201d\n19 \u201cGive me your son,\u201d Elijah replied. He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed. 20 Then he cried out to the Lord, \u201cLord my God, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?\u201d 21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the Lord, \u201cLord my God, let this boy\u2019s life return to him!\u201d\n22 The Lord heard Elijah\u2019s cry, and the boy\u2019s life returned to him, and he lived. 23 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, \u201cLook, your son is alive!\u201d\n18 After a long time, in the third year, the word of the Lord came to Elijah: \u201cGo and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.\u201d 2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab.\nNow the famine was severe in Samaria, 3 and Ahab had summoned Obadiah, his palace administrator. (Obadiah was a devout believer in the Lord. 4 While Jezebel was killing off the Lord\u2019s prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water.) 5 Ahab had said to Obadiah, \u201cGo through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals.\u201d 6 So they divided the land they were to cover, Ahab going in one direction and Obadiah in another.\n7 As Obadiah was walking along, Elijah met him. Obadiah recognized him, bowed down to the ground, and said, \u201cIs it really you, my lord Elijah?\u201d\n8 \u201cYes,\u201d he replied. \u201cGo tell your master, \u2018Elijah is here.\u2019\u201d\n9 \u201cWhat have I done wrong,\u201d asked Obadiah, \u201cthat you are handing your servant over to Ahab to be put to death? 10 As surely as the Lord your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to look for you. And whenever a nation or kingdom claimed you were not there, he made them swear they could not find you. 11 But now you tell me to go to my master and say, \u2018Elijah is here.\u2019 12 I don\u2019t know where the Spirit of the Lord may carry you when I leave you. If I go and tell Ahab and he doesn\u2019t find you, he will kill me. Yet I your servant have worshiped the Lord since my youth. 13 Haven\u2019t you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord? I hid a hundred of the Lord\u2019s prophets in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water. 14 And now you tell me to go to my master and say, \u2018Elijah is here.\u2019 He will kill me!\u201d\n15 Elijah said, \u201cAs the Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, I will surely present myself to Ahab today.\u201d\n16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 17 When he saw Elijah, he said to him, \u201cIs that you, you troubler of Israel?\u201d\n18 \u201cI have not made trouble for Israel,\u201d Elijah replied. \u201cBut you and your father\u2019s family have. You have abandoned the Lord\u2019s commands and have followed the Baals. 19 Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel\u2019s table.\u201d\n20 So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. 21 Elijah went before the people and said, \u201cHow long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.\u201d\nBut the people said nothing.\n22 Then Elijah said to them, \u201cI am the only one of the Lord\u2019s prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets. 23 Get two bulls for us. Let Baal\u2019s prophets choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. 24 Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The god who answers by fire\u2014he is God.\u201d\nThen all the people said, \u201cWhat you say is good.\u201d\n25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, \u201cChoose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you. Call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire.\u201d 26 So they took the bull given them and prepared it.\n30 Then Elijah said to all the people, \u201cCome here to me.\u201d They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down. 31 Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, \u201cYour name shall be Israel.\u201d 32 With the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs[b] of seed. 33 He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, \u201cFill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood.\u201d\n36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: \u201cLord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. 37 Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.\u201d\n40 Then Elijah commanded them, \u201cSeize the prophets of Baal. Don\u2019t let anyone get away!\u201d They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.\n41 And Elijah said to Ahab, \u201cGo, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.\u201d 42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.\nSo Elijah said, \u201cGo and tell Ahab, \u2018Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.\u2019\u201d\n45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.\n3 Elijah was afraid[c] and ran for his life. When he came to Beersheba in Judah, he left his servant there, 4 while he himself went a day\u2019s journey into the wilderness. He came to a broom bush, sat down under it and prayed that he might die. \u201cI have had enough, Lord,\u201d he said. \u201cTake my life; I am no better than my ancestors.\u201d 5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep.\nBen-Hadad Attacks Samaria\n20 Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram mustered his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he went up and besieged Samaria and attacked it. 2 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, \u201cThis is what Ben-Hadad says: 3 \u2018Your silver and gold are mine, and the best of your wives and children are mine.\u2019\u201d\n4 The king of Israel answered, \u201cJust as you say, my lord the king. I and all I have are yours.\u201d\n5 The messengers came again and said, \u201cThis is what Ben-Hadad says: \u2018I sent to demand your silver and gold, your wives and your children. 6 But about this time tomorrow I am going to send my officials to search your palace and the houses of your officials. They will seize everything you value and carry it away.\u2019\u201d\n7 The king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said to them, \u201cSee how this man is looking for trouble! When he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, I did not refuse him.\u201d\n8 The elders and the people all answered, \u201cDon\u2019t listen to him or agree to his demands.\u201d\n9 So he replied to Ben-Hadad\u2019s messengers, \u201cTell my lord the king, \u2018Your servant will do all you demanded the first time, but this demand I cannot meet.\u2019\u201d They left and took the answer back to Ben-Hadad.\n10 Then Ben-Hadad sent another message to Ahab: \u201cMay the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if enough dust remains in Samaria to give each of my men a handful.\u201d\n11 The king of Israel answered, \u201cTell him: \u2018One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off.\u2019\u201d\n12 Ben-Hadad heard this message while he and the kings were drinking in their tents,[d] and he ordered his men: \u201cPrepare to attack.\u201d So they prepared to attack the city.\nAhab Defeats Ben-Hadad\n13 Meanwhile a prophet came to Ahab king of Israel and announced, \u201cThis is what the Lord says: \u2018Do you see this vast army? I will give it into your hand today, and then you will know that I am the Lord.\u2019\u201d\n14 \u201cBut who will do this?\u201d asked Ahab.\nThe prophet replied, \u201cThis is what the Lord says: \u2018The junior officers under the provincial commanders will do it.\u2019\u201d\n\u201cAnd who will start the battle?\u201d he asked.\nThe prophet answered, \u201cYou will.\u201d\n15 So Ahab summoned the 232 junior officers under the provincial commanders. Then he assembled the rest of the Israelites, 7,000 in all. 16 They set out at noon while Ben-Hadad and the 32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk. 17 The junior officers under the provincial commanders went out first.\nNow Ben-Hadad had dispatched scouts, who reported, \u201cMen are advancing from Samaria.\u201d\n18 He said, \u201cIf they have come out for peace, take them alive; if they have come out for war, take them alive.\u201d\n19 The junior officers under the provincial commanders marched out of the city with the army behind them 20 and each one struck down his opponent. At that, the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-Hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with some of his horsemen. 21 The king of Israel advanced and overpowered the horses and chariots and inflicted heavy losses on the Arameans.\n22 Afterward, the prophet came to the king of Israel and said, \u201cStrengthen your position and see what must be done, because next spring the king of Aram will attack you again.\u201d\n23 Meanwhile, the officials of the king of Aram advised him, \u201cTheir gods are gods of the hills. That is why they were too strong for us. But if we fight them on the plains, surely we will be stronger than they. 24 Do this: Remove all the kings from their commands and replace them with other officers. 25 You must also raise an army like the one you lost\u2014horse for horse and chariot for chariot\u2014so we can fight Israel on the plains. Then surely we will be stronger than they.\u201d He agreed with them and acted accordingly.\n26 The next spring Ben-Hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel. 27 When the Israelites were also mustered and given provisions, they marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped opposite them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.\n28 The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, \u201cThis is what the Lord says: \u2018Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord.\u2019\u201d\n29 For seven days they camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle was joined. The Israelites inflicted a hundred thousand casualties on the Aramean foot soldiers in one day. 30 The rest of them escaped to the city of Aphek, where the wall collapsed on twenty-seven thousand of them. And Ben-Hadad fled to the city and hid in an inner room.\n31 His officials said to him, \u201cLook, we have heard that the kings of Israel are merciful. Let us go to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life.\u201d\n32 Wearing sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the king of Israel and said, \u201cYour servant Ben-Hadad says: \u2018Please let me live.\u2019\u201d\nThe king answered, \u201cIs he still alive? He is my brother.\u201d\n33 The men took this as a good sign and were quick to pick up his word. \u201cYes, your brother Ben-Hadad!\u201d they said.\n\u201cGo and get him,\u201d the king said. When Ben-Hadad came out, Ahab had him come up into his chariot.\n34 \u201cI will return the cities my father took from your father,\u201d Ben-Hadad offered. \u201cYou may set up your own market areas in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.\u201d\nAhab said, \u201cOn the basis of a treaty I will set you free.\u201d So he made a treaty with him, and let him go.\nA Prophet Condemns Ahab\n35 By the word of the Lord one of the company of the prophets said to his companion, \u201cStrike me with your weapon,\u201d but he refused.\n36 So the prophet said, \u201cBecause you have not obeyed the Lord, as soon as you leave me a lion will kill you.\u201d And after the man went away, a lion found him and killed him.\n37 The prophet found another man and said, \u201cStrike me, please.\u201d So the man struck him and wounded him. 38 Then the prophet went and stood by the road waiting for the king. He disguised himself with his headband down over his eyes. 39 As the king passed by, the prophet called out to him, \u201cYour servant went into the thick of the battle, and someone came to me with a captive and said, \u2018Guard this man. If he is missing, it will be your life for his life, or you must pay a talent[e] of silver.\u2019 40 While your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.\u201d\n\u201cThat is your sentence,\u201d the king of Israel said. \u201cYou have pronounced it yourself.\u201d\n41 Then the prophet quickly removed the headband from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets. 42 He said to the king, \u201cThis is what the Lord says: \u2018You have set free a man I had determined should die.[f] Therefore it is your life for his life, your people for his people.\u2019\u201d 43 Sullen and angry, the king of Israel went to his palace in Samaria.\n21 Some time later there was an incident involving a vineyard belonging to Naboth the Jezreelite. The vineyard was in Jezreel, close to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2 Ahab said to Naboth, \u201cLet me have your vineyard to use for a vegetable garden, since it is close to my palace. In exchange I will give you a better vineyard or, if you prefer, I will pay you whatever it is worth.\u201d\n3 But Naboth replied, \u201cThe Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my ancestors.\u201d\n4 So Ahab went home, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said, \u201cI will not give you the inheritance of my ancestors.\u201d He lay on his bed sulking and refused to eat.\n5 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, \u201cWhy are you so sullen? Why won\u2019t you eat?\u201d\n6 He answered her, \u201cBecause I said to Naboth the Jezreelite, \u2018Sell me your vineyard; or if you prefer, I will give you another vineyard in its place.\u2019 But he said, \u2018I will not give you my vineyard.\u2019\u201d\n7 Jezebel his wife said, \u201cIs this how you act as king over Israel? Get up and eat! Cheer up. I\u2019ll get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.\u201d\n8 So she wrote letters in Ahab\u2019s name, placed his seal on them, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth\u2019s city with him. 9 In those letters she wrote:\n\u201cProclaim a day of fasting and seat Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 10 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them bring charges that he has cursed both God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death.\u201d\n11 So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth\u2019s city did as Jezebel directed in the letters she had written to them. 12 They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth in a prominent place among the people. 13 Then two scoundrels came and sat opposite him and brought charges against Naboth before the people, saying, \u201cNaboth has cursed both God and the king.\u201d So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death. 14 Then they sent word to Jezebel: \u201cNaboth has been stoned to death.\u201d\n15 As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, \u201cGet up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite that he refused to sell you. He is no longer alive, but dead.\u201d 16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of Naboth\u2019s vineyard.\n17 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: 18 \u201cGo down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He is now in Naboth\u2019s vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it. 19 Say to him, \u2018This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?\u2019 Then say to him, \u2018This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth\u2019s blood, dogs will lick up your blood\u2014yes, yours!\u2019\u201d\n20 Ahab said to Elijah, \u201cSo you have found me, my enemy!\u201d\n\u201cI have found you,\u201d he answered, \u201cbecause you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord. 21 He says, \u2018I am going to bring disaster on you. I will wipe out your descendants and cut off from Ahab every last male in Israel\u2014slave or free.[g] 22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have aroused my anger and have caused Israel to sin.\u2019\n23 \u201cAnd also concerning Jezebel the Lord says: \u2018Dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of[h] Jezreel.\u2019\n24 \u201cDogs will eat those belonging to Ahab who die in the city, and the birds will feed on those who die in the country.\u201d\n25 (There was never anyone like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, urged on by Jezebel his wife. 26 He behaved in the vilest manner by going after idols, like the Amorites the Lord drove out before Israel.)\n27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and fasted. He lay in sackcloth and went around meekly.\n28 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: 29 \u201cHave you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day, but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son.\u201d\n22 For three years there was no war between Aram and Israel. 2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to see the king of Israel. 3 The king of Israel had said to his officials, \u201cDon\u2019t you know that Ramoth Gilead belongs to us and yet we are doing nothing to retake it from the king of Aram?\u201d\n4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, \u201cWill you go with me to fight against Ramoth Gilead?\u201d\nJehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, \u201cI am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.\u201d 5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, \u201cFirst seek the counsel of the Lord.\u201d\n6 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets\u2014about four hundred men\u2014and asked them, \u201cShall I go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain?\u201d\n\u201cGo,\u201d they answered, \u201cfor the Lord will give it into the king\u2019s hand.\u201d\n7 But Jehoshaphat asked, \u201cIs there no longer a prophet of the Lord here whom we can inquire of?\u201d\n8 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, \u201cThere is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.\u201d\n\u201cThe king should not say such a thing,\u201d Jehoshaphat replied.\n9 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, \u201cBring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.\u201d\n10 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them. 11 Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns and he declared, \u201cThis is what the Lord says: \u2018With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.\u2019\u201d\n12 All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. \u201cAttack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious,\u201d they said, \u201cfor the Lord will give it into the king\u2019s hand.\u201d\n13 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, \u201cLook, the other prophets without exception are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably.\u201d\n14 But Micaiah said, \u201cAs surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what the Lord tells me.\u201d\n15 When he arrived, the king asked him, \u201cMicaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or not?\u201d\n\u201cAttack and be victorious,\u201d he answered, \u201cfor the Lord will give it into the king\u2019s hand.\u201d\n16 The king said to him, \u201cHow many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?\u201d\n17 Then Micaiah answered, \u201cI saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd, and the Lord said, \u2018These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.\u2019\u201d\n18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, \u201cDidn\u2019t I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?\u201d\n19 Micaiah continued, \u201cTherefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne with all the multitudes of heaven standing around him on his right and on his left. 20 And the Lord said, \u2018Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?\u2019\n\u201cOne suggested this, and another that. 21 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, \u2018I will entice him.\u2019\n22 \u201c\u2018By what means?\u2019 the Lord asked.\n\u201c\u2018I will go out and be a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,\u2019 he said.\n\u201c\u2018You will succeed in enticing him,\u2019 said the Lord. \u2018Go and do it.\u2019\n23 \u201cSo now the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The Lord has decreed disaster for you.\u201d\n24 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped Micaiah in the face. \u201cWhich way did the spirit from[i] the Lord go when he went from me to speak to you?\u201d he asked.\n25 Micaiah replied, \u201cYou will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room.\u201d\n26 The king of Israel then ordered, \u201cTake Micaiah and send him back to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king\u2019s son 27 and say, \u2018This is what the king says: Put this fellow in prison and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely.\u2019\u201d\n28 Micaiah declared, \u201cIf you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.\u201d Then he added, \u201cMark my words, all you people!\u201d\nAhab Killed at Ramoth Gilead\n29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, \u201cI will enter the battle in disguise, but you wear your royal robes.\u201d So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.\n31 Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, \u201cDo not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.\u201d 32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, \u201cSurely this is the king of Israel.\u201d So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat cried out, 33 the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel and stopped pursuing him.\n34 But someone drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the sections of his armor. The king told his chariot driver, \u201cWheel around and get me out of the fighting. I\u2019ve been wounded.\u201d 35 All day long the battle raged, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. The blood from his wound ran onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died. 36 As the sun was setting, a cry spread through the army: \u201cEvery man to his town. Every man to his land!\u201d\n37 So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried him there. 38 They washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria (where the prostitutes bathed),[j] and the dogs licked up his blood, as the word of the Lord had declared.\n39 As for the other events of Ahab\u2019s reign, including all he did, the palace he built and adorned with ivory, and the cities he fortified, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel? 40 Ahab rested with his ancestors. And Ahaziah his son succeeded him as king.\nJehoshaphat King of Judah\n41 Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel. 42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother\u2019s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi. 43 In everything he followed the ways of his father Asa and did not stray from them; he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. The high places, however, were not removed, and the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.[k] 44 Jehoshaphat was also at peace with the king of Israel.\n45 As for the other events of Jehoshaphat\u2019s reign, the things he achieved and his military exploits, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 46 He rid the land of the rest of the male shrine prostitutes who remained there even after the reign of his father Asa. 47 There was then no king in Edom; a provincial governor ruled.\n48 Now Jehoshaphat built a fleet of trading ships[l] to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail\u2014they were wrecked at Ezion Geber. 49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, \u201cLet my men sail with yours,\u201d but Jehoshaphat refused.\n50 Then Jehoshaphat rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Jehoram his son succeeded him as king.\nAhaziah King of Israel\n51 Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years. 52 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, because he followed the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. 53 He served and worshiped Baal and aroused the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father had done.\n1 Kings 17:1 Or Tishbite, of the settlers\n1 Kings 18:32 That is, probably about 24 pounds or about 11 kilograms\n1 Kings 20:12 Or in Sukkoth; also in verse 16\n1 Kings 20:42 The Hebrew term refers to the irrevocable giving over of things or persons to the Lord, often by totally destroying them.\n1 Kings 21:23 Most Hebrew manuscripts; a few Hebrew manuscripts, Vulgate and Syriac (see also 2 Kings 9:26) the plot of ground at\n1 Kings 22:24 Or Spirit of\n1 Kings 22:38 Or Samaria and cleaned the weapons\n1 Kings 22:43 In Hebrew texts this sentence (22:43b) is numbered 22:44, and 22:44-53 is numbered 22:45-54.\n1 Kings 17:1 : Mal 4:5; Mt 11:14; 17:3\n1 Kings 17:1 : Jdg 12:4\n1 Kings 17:1 : S Dt 11:17; S 28:24; S 2Sa 1:21; S 1Ki 8:36; Job 12:15; S Lk 4:25\n1 Kings 17:6 : Ex 16:8\n1 Kings 17:9 : Ob 1:20\n1 Kings 17:9 : Lk 4:26\n1 Kings 17:10 : S Ge 24:17; Jn 4:7\n1 Kings 17:18 : Lk 5:8\n1 Kings 17:21 : 2Ki 4:34; Ac 20:10\n1 Kings 17:23 : Heb 11:35\n1 Kings 17:24 : Jn 16:30\n1 Kings 17:24 : 1Ki 22:16; Ps 119:43; Jn 17:17\n1 Kings 18:1 : 1Ki 17:1; Lk 4:25\n1 Kings 18:3 : Ne 7:2\n1 Kings 18:4 : 1Ki 21:23; 2Ki 9:7\n1 Kings 18:4 : S 1Ki 17:3; Isa 16:3; 25:4; 32:2; Ob 1:14\n1 Kings 18:7 : 2Ki 1:8; Zec 13:4\n1 Kings 18:12 : 2Ki 2:16; Eze 3:14; Ac 8:39\n1 Kings 18:17 : Jos 7:25; 1Sa 14:29; 1Ki 21:20; Jer 38:4\n1 Kings 18:18 : 1Ki 16:31, 33; 21:25\n1 Kings 18:20 : 2Ki 2:25; 4:25\n1 Kings 18:21 : Jos 24:15; 2Ki 17:41; Ps 119:113; Mt 6:24\n1 Kings 18:21 : ver 39; Ps 100:3; 118:27\n1 Kings 18:22 : Jer 2:8; 23:13\n1 Kings 18:24 : S ver 38; S Ex 19:18; S Lev 9:24\n1 Kings 18:26 : Isa 44:17; 45:20\n1 Kings 18:26 : Ps 115:4-5; 135:16; Isa 41:26, 28; 46:7; Jer 10:5; 1Co 8:4; 12:2\n1 Kings 18:27 : Hab 2:19\n1 Kings 18:29 : 2Ki 19:12; Isa 16:12; Jer 10:5\n1 Kings 18:31 : S Ge 17:5; 2Ki 17:34\n1 Kings 18:32 : S Dt 18:7; Col 3:17\n1 Kings 18:36 : S Ex 29:39, 41\n1 Kings 18:36 : S Ge 24:12; S Ex 4:5; Mt 22:32\n1 Kings 18:36 : S Jos 4:24; S 1Sa 17:46; S Ps 46:10\n1 Kings 18:38 : ver 24; S Ex 19:18; S Lev 9:24; 2Ki 1:10; 1Ch 21:26; 2Ch 7:1; Job 1:16\n1 Kings 18:40 : S Ex 22:20; S Dt 17:12; S 2Ki 11:18\n1 Kings 18:42 : S 1Sa 12:17; Jas 5:18\n1 Kings 18:44 : Lk 12:54\n1 Kings 18:45 : S 1Ki 8:36; Job 37:13\n1 Kings 18:45 : S 1Sa 29:1; S Hos 1:4\n1 Kings 18:46 : S Jdg 3:10; S 1Sa 11:6; Lk 1:35; 4:14\n1 Kings 18:46 : 2Ki 4:29; 9:1\n1 Kings 20:7 : 1Sa 11:3\n1 Kings 20:11 : Pr 27:1; Jer 9:23; Am 2:14\n1 Kings 20:23 : ver 28; Isa 36:20; Ro 1:21-23\n1 Kings 20:26 : ver 30; S 1Sa 4:1; 2Ki 13:17\n1 Kings 20:27 : Jdg 6:6; S 1Sa 13:6\n1 Kings 20:28 : S Ex 6:7; Jer 16:19-21\n1 Kings 20:30 : Ps 62:4; Isa 26:21; 30:13\n1 Kings 20:31 : Job 41:3\n1 Kings 20:34 : S Ge 14:15; Jer 49:23-27\n1 Kings 20:35 : S 1Sa 10:5; Am 7:14\n1 Kings 20:40 : 2Sa 12:5; S 14:13\n1 Kings 21:1 : S 1Sa 29:1; 2Ki 10:1\n1 Kings 21:10 : S Dt 13:13; Ac 6:11\n1 Kings 21:10 : S Ex 22:28; Lev 24:15-16\n1 Kings 21:19 : Job 24:6; 31:39\n1 Kings 21:19 : 2Ki 9:26; Ps 9:12; Isa 14:20\n1 Kings 21:19 : 1Ki 22:38; Ps 68:23; Jer 15:3\n1 Kings 21:20 : 2Ki 17:17; Ro 7:14\n1 Kings 21:21 : Jdg 9:5; 2Ki 10:7\n1 Kings 21:23 : 2Ki 9:10, 34-36\n1 Kings 21:25 : S 1Ki 14:9; S 16:33\n1 Kings 21:27 : S Ge 37:34; S Jer 4:8\n1 Kings 22:5 : Ex 33:7; 2Ki 3:11; Job 38:2; Ps 32:8; 73:24; 107:11\n1 Kings 22:6 : S Jdg 18:6\n1 Kings 22:7 : Dt 18:15; 2Ki 3:11; 5:8\n1 Kings 22:7 : S Nu 27:21; 2Ki 3:11\n1 Kings 22:8 : ver 13; Isa 5:20; 30:10; Jer 23:17\n1 Kings 22:11 : Dt 33:17; Jer 27:2; 28:10; Zec 1:18-21\n1 Kings 22:14 : S Nu 22:18; S 1Sa 3:17\n1 Kings 22:17 : S Ge 11:4; Na 3:18\n1 Kings 22:17 : Nu 27:17; Isa 13:14; S Mt 9:36\n1 Kings 22:19 : Ps 47:8; Isa 6:1; 63:15; Eze 1:26; Da 7:9\n1 Kings 22:19 : Job 1:6; 15:8; 38:7; Ps 103:20-21; 148:2; Jer 23:18, 22; Lk 2:13\n1 Kings 22:22 : S Jdg 9:23; 2Th 2:11\n1 Kings 22:23 : Eze 14:9\n1 Kings 22:24 : Ac 23:2\n1 Kings 22:27 : 2Ch 16:10; Jer 20:2; 26:21; 37:15; Heb 11:36\n1 Kings 22:34 : 2Ki 9:24; 2Ch 35:23\n1 Kings 22:39 : 2Ch 9:17; Ps 45:8; Am 3:15\n1 Kings 22:41 : 22:41-50pp \u2014 2Ch 20:31\u201321:1\n1 Kings 22:47 : 1Ki 11:14-18; 2Ki 3:9; 8:20",

        "raw_content": "Get To Know: Paris-Roubaix\nThe most beautifully brutal of the Classics should be especially thrilling to watch this year\nRiders will encounter the first cobbles in Troisvilles, barely 100km into the race. (James Startt)\nThis year\u2019s race could be one of the most exciting ever: It promises to offer an epic showdown between two of the greatest specialists in the event\u2019s history.\nGerman rider Joseph Fischer won the first Paris-Roubaix, held in 1896. Originally proposed by two Roubaix businessmen who wanted to show off their city\u2019s new velodrome, the race was first conceived as a warm-up to the prestigious Bordeaux-Paris. Despite its name, Paris-Roubaix rarely started in Paris. After initially leaving from the Porte de Maillot, on the city\u2019s western side, the race soon moved outside the French capital altogether. Since 1977 Paris-Roubaix has begun in Compiegne, 80 kilometers north. And although half of the registered riders didn\u2019t even show up to the start of its first edition, Paris-Roubaix is now considered \u201cLa Reine des Classiques,\u201d or the Queen of Classics. Bordeaux-Paris has long since vanished from the professional calendar.\n\u201cIt\u2019s the cobbles that make Paris-Roubaix!\u201d says Belgian Patrick Lefevere, manager of the Omega Pharma team, who has guided riders to victory here 12 times in the last 20 years. Although Belgium\u2019s Tour of Flanders, held just one week before Roubaix each year, has cobblestone roads as well, they\u2019re generally in much better condition than those in the French race. Here the cobblestone sections are often longer and consistently more brutal, increasing the element of risk and inspiring the race\u2019s historic nickname, \u201cThe Hell of the North.\u201d\nAlthough the course changes slightly from year to year, riders always encounter the first cobbles in Troisvilles, barely 100 kilometers into the race. The final cobbled stretch comes just one kilometer from the finish. Certain legendary sections, including the Arenberg Forest, Orchies, Mons-en-Pevele, and the Carrefour de l\u2019Arbre, are virtually always part of the action.\nThe Arenberg Forest, home to a grueling 2.4-kilometer stretch just after the mining town of Wallers, attracts huge crowds, and for many this is where the real race begins. While Paris-Roubaix is never won in the forest, it is often lost in that stretch. It was here in 1998 that three-time winner Johan Musseuw\u2019s career nearly ended, when he shattered his knee in a crash\u2014but even the slightest mechanical can ruin a rider\u2019s chances for the day; after the forest there is rarely room to regain lost ground.\n\u201cWhile the Arenberg Forest is the hardest, the Carrefour de l\u2019Arbre is more pivotal,\u201d says Frenchman Marc Madiot, a two-time winner. \u201cIt is close to the end and provides riders with the last chance to attack.\u201d\nVisit the Arenberg Forest with European Correspondent James Startt:\nThe weather plays a pivotal role in Paris-Roubaix. Tailwinds from the south increase the speeds as well as the dust from the cobbles, making the race more dangerous and generally harder to control. \u201cWe prefer headwinds,\u201d says Lefevere. \u201cIt makes for a harder race and favors the stronger teams like us.\u201d But no one wishes for rain, which instantly transform the route into a horrific quagmire. Springtime weather changes constantly in northern France, but forecasts currently call for mild temperatures with winds out of the north.\nLongtime rivals Fabian Cancellara and Tom Boonen navigate the cobbles during the 2010 Paris-Roubaix. (James Startt)\nBelgian Tom Boonen entered the history books in 2012 when he became only the race\u2019s second four-time winner (countryman Roger DeVlaeminck is the other). But Boonen\u2019s historic rival Fabien Cancellara, who finished first last year, could equal his record with a win on Sunday. And Cancellara has the momentum after handily beating Boonen last Sunday to score his third Tour of Flanders victory.\nAdding novelty to this year\u2019s race, however, is the presence of 2012 Tour de France champ Bradley Wiggins, as well as 24-year-old superstar Peter Sagan, who, after finishing second in the amateur edition, is making the Classic one of his prime objectives in 2014. But while his BMX background makes him a natural for the cobbles, Sagan has yet to prove he can be as dangerous in races in that exceed 250 kilometers.\nOther challenges will come from Norway\u2019s Alexander Kristoff, recent winner of Milan-Sanremo and Belgium\u2019s Sep Vanmarcke and runner-up to Cancellara last year. Kristoff finished an impressive third in Flanders last week.\nOne thing is certain: Whoever wins on Sunday will need a unique combination of power and speed. A powerful rider who lacks speed will often come up short on Roubaix\u2019s velodrome finish, while a sprinter lacking sufficient power to master the cobbles will not even see the mythic track.\nOf these two essential ingredients, power is more essential. \u201cThe climbs in Flanders are like sprints,\u201d Kristoff told Bicycling in a recent interview. \u201cYou can sort of recuperate on each descent. But Roubaix is flat. It\u2019s just like one big time trial over the cobbles.\u201d\nEven its greatest champions admit that Paris-Roubaix still holds its own mysteries. \u201cIn Paris-Roubaix,\u201d says Boonen, \u201cyou can be feeling great one moment and a moment later you are just totally empty.\u201d\nThis is the last of the season\u2019s great northern Classics. The following week, riders head to Holland and southern Belgium for the hilly Classics around the Ardennes Forest: Amstel Gold, Fleche-Wallonne, and Liege-Bastogne-Liege. Few riders who excel in Paris-Roubaix can win in the Ardennes. One exception was Irish great Sean Kelly, who on several occasions won both Roubaix and Liege.\nFive-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault works for race organizer ASO and won Paris-Roubaix in 1981, but could not stand the event, calling it \u201cidiotic.\u201d His countryman, Jacques Anquetil, another five-time Tour winner, did not think much better of the cobbled Classic. He called it a \u201clottery\u201d and often refused to participate.\nWhile Roger De Vlaeminck has long been called \u201cMr. Paris-Roubaix\u201d because he was the race\u2019s first four-time winner, Belgian team manager Patrick Lefevere could also lay claim to the moniker. He directed teams to unprecedented one-two-three finishes in 1996, \u201898, \u201899, and 2001.\nOne of the greatest cycling movies: the Danish documentary A Sunday in Hell, which focuses on the 1976 Paris-Roubaix.\n2013 Paris-Roubaix Photo Gallery\nCancellara Claims Third Paris-Roubaix\nVideo: Catching Up With Sep Vanmarcke\nCancellara, Boonen Take Turns at the Top\nGet to Know: Paris-Nice\nTerpstra Takes Surprise Win at Paris-Roubaix\nHincapie\u2019s Roubaix\nDevolder and Roelandts Pull Out of Paris-Roubaix\nRoubaix Preview",

        "raw_content": "Famous People Who Died in Kansas City\nFamous People Born in Calgary\nOwen Hart Biography\nAthlete (1965\u20131999)\nWorld Wrestling Federation fans knew Owen Hart as \"the Rocket\" or \"the Blue Blazer.\" He died tragically during a pre-match publicity stunt when he fell 90 feet.\nOwen Hart was born on May 7, 1965, in Calgary, Canada, into a large family with 12 children. His father, a professional wrestler, trained him in a basement studio. Hart, a champion college wrestler, joined his father&apos;s professional team in 1986 and 1988 entered the World Wrestling Federation. He died on May 23, 1999, when he fell 90 feet during a pre-match publicity stunt.\nProfessional wrestler Owen Hart was born on May 7, 1965, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The youngest of 12 children, Hart was one of six brothers and four brothers-in-law in the Hart family to become professional wrestlers. The Hart boys studied wrestling from an early age in a basement studio under the watchful eye of their father, Stu, himself a talented wrestler.\nSuccessful Wrestling Career\nOwen wrestled at the amateur level and became a Canadian college champion before making his professional debut in 1986 as part of his father&apos;s Stampede Wrestling tour. After touring in Europe, Japan, Mexico and Canada, Hart entered the World Wrestling Federation in 1988.\nAs \"the Rocket\" or \"the Blue Blazer,\" Hart became a popular fixture in the WWF. His fierce, although staged, rivalry with his older brother, the five-time WWF champion Bret \"the Hitman\" Hart, attracted viewers, as did their teaming up to form \"the Hart Foundation\" in 1993. Individually, Owen won the King of the Ring title in 1994 and the Intercontinental title in 1997. After Bret unofficially retired in late 1997, Owen was the only remaining Hart on the professional wrestling scene.\nOver the years, Hart became disenchanted with the outrageous character of the WWF and especially with federation owner Vince McMahon. In early 1999, he was reportedly preparing to retire and spend more time with his family\u2014he had a son, Oje, and a daughter, Athena, with his wife Martha. He thought of beginning a teaching career.\nAn accident during a pre-match publicity stunt on May 23, 1999, at Kansas City&apos;s Kemper Arena put an abrupt and tragic end to those hopes. In front of more than 16,000 fans, most of them totally unaware of the chilling reality of what they were watching, Hart fell some 90 feet when a release mechanism disengaged on a cable affixed to the ceiling from the safety vest he was wearing, hitting his head on one of the wrestling ring&apos;s padded turnbuckles. He was later pronounced dead of internal bleeding.\nThe circumstances surrounding Hart&apos;s death sparked much discussion about the increasingly dangerous nature of the WWF&apos;s publicity tactics and provoked calls for some action to be taken by the federation to protect its wrestlers. A wrongful death lawsuit filed against the WWF by Hart&apos;s family, who accused the wrestling organization of making dangerous demands on Hart in pursuit of money and television ratings. They reached an out-of-court settlement in late 2000. The WWF is pursuing its own lawsuit against the company that manufactured the equipment used during the deadly stunt.\nhttps://www.biography.com/people/owen-hart-9542223\nOwen Chamberlain worked on the Manhattan atomic bomb project. He and his colleague Emilio Segr\u00e8 received a Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the antiproton.\nEva Hart was one of the Titanic's most outspoken survivors, criticizing the White Star Line for failing to provide sufficient lifeboats for all of the passengers of the infamous ship.\nThomas Hart Benton was an esteemed 20th century painter and muralist renowned for works like \u201cAmerica Today\u201d and \u201cPersephone.\u201d\nPop singer Mark Owen became famous as a member of Take That and as a U.K. reality TV star.\nRobert Dale Owen, son of the Welsh social reformer Robert Owen, is best known for being integral to the founding of the Smithsonian Institution.\nGovernment Official, Journalist, Editor\nChris Benoit was a popular professional wrestler who, in 2007, killed his wife and son and then committed suicide.\nMurderer, Television Personality, Athlete",

        "raw_content": "Saltwater Cowboys: True Grit of the East\nJess Daddio 01 Jun 15\nGo OutsideJune 20150 Comments\nPhoto by Denise Bowden\nBy 6 a.m. on a late July morning, Bobby Lappin has already been in the saddle for an hour.\nHe\u2019s not alone. Fifty-some cowboys ride at his side. They cluck and yip and crack their whips against the water, driving over one hundred Chincoteague Ponies down the beaches of Assateague. The herd of hooves rumbles along the sand heading south toward a corral at the end of the island.\n\u201cYou got the sun coming up, sometimes a little haze, dolphins in the background swimming while we\u2019re coming down the beach. It\u2019s one of those surreal moments, I guess,\u201d says Lappin.\nLappin grew up along the shores of Chincoteague and Assateague. Like his fellow riders, he has spent nearly his entire life on the back of a horse. The feral Chincoteague Ponies, which annually draw over 50,000 people to his home island, are about as normal to Lappin as the squirrels in your front yard.\n\u201cYou really don\u2019t pay no mind to them sometimes,\u201d he says of the ponies. \u201cThe horses being there is just part of our heritage and our way of life.\u201d\nLappin is the Chief of the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company and the Pony Committee Chairman. Sounds like an unlikely r\u00e9sum\u00e9, but the relationship between the local fire department and the ponies is a longstanding one. In the early 1900s, a number of fires wreaked havoc on Chincoteague Island, leaving the volunteer fire department without equipment to perform their duties. In 1925, the firefighters took matters into their own hands, hosting the famed \u201cpony penning\u201d as it exists today to raise money for the department.\nAlthough pony penning did occur prior to 1925, it was meant more as a way for the island\u2019s livestock owners to claim and brand their horses. Today\u2019s roundup now features the \u201cPony Swim\u201d during which the herd is ushered across the Assateague Channel at low tide, a live auction, and a community carnival to top it all off. The annual pony penning has since become more than a fundraiser for the fire company and is arguably the most important economic driver for the island.\n\u201cIt keeps a lot of businesses alive,\u201d Lappin points out. \u201cThey might be having a hard time, and this is what pulls them out.\u201d\nThe event also acts like a trip to the doctor for the herd. Each year, the horses receive vaccinations, dewormer, and blood tests. They\u2019re inspected for injuries and shuttled across the channel if deemed too young or too weak to swim. Though the public may only view these free spirited ponies as \u201cwild,\u201d the fire department makes sure their herd is taken care of.\nThat\u2019s right\u2014their herd. Because Assateague Island is split by the Maryland and Virginia border, so, too, are the island\u2019s ponies. The National Park Service takes care of the Maryland herd while the Chincoteague Fire Department oversees the Virginian one. Under a special grazing permit licensed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the fire department is only allowed a herd of 150 horses, a number they maintain by annually auctioning off ponies at the summer roundup.\n\u201cWe\u2019re over there once a week at least,\u201d Lappin says of trips to the ponies\u2019 home on Assateague, a 37-mile barrier island that received the National Seashore designation in 1965. \u201cDuring the winter we took hay over there and went around to the water holes to bust the ice.\u201d\nBy \u201cwe,\u201d Lappin is mostly referring to his fellow firefighters, the men who form the Pony Committee and are charged with caring for the herd. These 55 men are known locally and nationally as the \u201cSaltwater Cowboys.\u201d They\u2019re the true grit of the East, and while Chincoteague\u2019s knee-deep mud and vast swaths of swampy marshland are certainly not the open desert of spaghetti westerns, these cowboys know firsthand what it\u2019s like to battle the elements while herding hundreds of wild horses across open terrain.\n\u201cWhen I say we\u2019re out on a marsh, I\u2019m talkin\u2019 about miles of marsh before you can even hit a road,\u201d says Lappin. \u201cIt\u2019s not like you can take cover or get under something,\u201d which, as was the case during the swim of 2013, can prove particularly problematic.\nOn the morning of the swim, Lappin and the Saltwater Cowboys rise at dawn to wait for slack tide, a roughly 30-minute period when the channel has no current and the horses can more safely make the swim to Chincoteague. On that late July morning in 2013, the swim had every appearance of being a success\u2014blue skies, big crowd, cooperative ponies. But in a matter of minutes, the sunny day took a dark turn.\n\u201cThe same time we were getting ready to hit the water we had lightning, hail, thunder,\u201d Lappin remembers. \u201cWe were waiting for the tornado to come next. It was game on.\u201d\nBecause the swim is timed around the tides, there was no pausing for the storm to pass. The cowboys knew they would be pushing their luck, but any bit of shelter was a least a half hour\u2019s ride away. As the skies continued to darken and lightning struck from every direction, the men were forced to make a decision\u2014the swim must go on.\nWith heads barely above water, the horses followed local islanders in boats as they navigated the narrowest part of the channel to Chincoteague. Despite the foul weather and pelting hail, over 10,000 spectators stayed to cheer the ponies on. In a matter of minutes, the horses were standing on shore, shaking water from their coats, foals whinnying in search of their mothers. Thankfully, the swim passed without incident and just a few hours later the storm had cleared out.\n\u201cYou could see a little bit of fear on everybody\u2019s face,\u201d Lappin remembers. \u201cThank God that nothing happened that day.\u201d\nFrom the black-mud banks of Chincoteague, the Saltwater Cowboys continued the procession through town to the carnival holding corrals where the ponies stay through the week until their return swim to Assateague. Lappin and his cowboys swap hats after the swim, tending to the ponies and manning the fire station by day, working the carnival grounds by night.\n\u201cNone of us get paid for it,\u201d Lappin says. \u201cIt\u2019s just our way of life. We\u2019re like family,\u201d ponies and all.\n* Giddy-up\n10 Fun Facts About Chincoteague Ponies You Probably Didn\u2019t Know\n\u2013 They don\u2019t actually live on Chincoteague Island.\n\u2013 They aren\u2019t technically considered \u201chorses\u201d due to their size \u2014 12 to 13 hands (the equivalent of about four feet in height).\n\u2013 Due to the high amount of salt in their diets, Chincoteague Ponies have to drink twice as much water. This explains why they look round and bloated.\n\u2013 Legend has it that Chincoteague Ponies are descendants of Spanish mustangs that swam to the safety of Assateague after a ship wrecked in the early 17th century.\n\u2013 Chincoteague Ponies are considered \u201cferal,\u201d as in they were once domesticated but have since returned to the wild.\n\u2013 The ponies\u2019 diet primarily consists of coarse saltmarsh cord grass and American beach grass, although they will also eat greenbrier stems, bayberry twigs, rose hips, seaweeds, and poison ivy.\n\u2013 Chincoteague Ponies removed from their harsh environment often grow to be full-sized horses, likely because of the higher protein diet they receive.\n\u2013 The Chincoteague Pony became an official breed in 1994.\n\u2013 Roughly 70 Chincoteague foals are born every year.\n\u2013 Ponies can be bought and continue to live on the island as part of a tax write-off program.\nTour de Chincoteague\nIn town for the Pony Penning with a few days to kill?

Dust wrapper slightly pulled at the head of the upper panel. Pages very gently age-tanned. A nice copy overall.\nFrom the cover: \u201cGreatly admired by H. G. Wells and others when first published in 1936, Low Company describes with wit and verve, the making of a burglar before the Second World War. Born in Soho in 1910, Mark Benney gives in his autobiography an account of his experience of unrespectable working-class life, and how it contributed to his development as a thief. Detail is given of Soho club life, industrial schools, borstals and prison experience, as well as the criminal sub-culture which flourished between the wars. Publication of the book led to the abandonment of his career as a burglar and, after working in journalism, Benney engaged in research on working-class politics, and eventually became a professor of social science in one of the leading American universities.\u201d\nISBN: B000H5RYS4\nLow Company: Describing the Evolution of a Burglar",

        "raw_content": "Claude Julien\u2019s hiring might turn some Bruins fans into Canadiens sympathizers\nHard not to root for the former Bruins coach, even as he signs up with a rival.\nClaude Julien holds the Stanley Cup after the Bruins defeated the Canucks in Game 7 of the 2011 NHL Stanley Cup.\t\u2013Mike Blake/Reuters\nGot a little math game for you that Jeremy Jacobs might appreciate.\nA pretzel and a beer during a Bruins game at the Garden costs, what, $12? Maybe $15?\nOK, let\u2019s say $15. And the Bruins were due to pay Claude Julien $3 million next season despite firing him last Tuesday after 10 fundamentally successful seasons behind the bench.\nSo, estimating the beer/pretzel combo at $15, the Bruins would have to sell 200,000 of them to cover the cost of Julien\u2019s contract for next year, when he\u2019s no longer even the coach. That is a lot. Not even this franchise could drive me to drink 200,000 beers over the course of a season.\nI know, it\u2019s a goofy exercise, one that of course is not that linear. We did not even take into consideration how many extra-large, home-cooked meatballs they would have to sell for the Pay Claude fund.\nBut you get the point, yes? You have to think like a money-hoarding concessionaire when you ponder the Bruins\u2019 motivations under the Jacobs ownership.\nThat in mind, it seems pretty obvious to me that it was not any warm-hearted benevolence the led Bruins management to permit Julien \u2014 who, again, was still under contract for next season \u2014 to take the coaching job with the rival Montreal Canadiens a week after they fired him. It was a golden chance to save $3 million.\nSure, I imagine a small reason the Bruins granted him permission to interview with a team they trail in the standings is their respect for the man. But make no mistake: This wasn\u2019t about kindness of their hearts, but the thickness of the Jacobs\u2019s wallets.\nI\u2019m glad they did it, though. It\u2019s a fascinating story. The winningest and arguably the best coach in Bruins history is now with their hated rival, just a week after he was fired here, and the Bruins actually signed off on it. It\u2019s delicious and annoying at once. I\u2019m a Claude guy. Though Bruce Cassidy has done his best to prove otherwise in his first three games on the job, I believe a poorly constructed roster has been the Bruins\u2019 biggest problem all season, not the coach. I also believe time will confirm this.\nThis is the first time in my life I can recall enjoying the Canadiens\u2019 work. I kind of want to see them succeed, because I want to see Julien succeed, and I cannot recall ever having such stick-it-to-\u2018em feelings for a genuine rival of a Boston sports team. I imagine there were a few Red Sox fans who swapped allegiances to the Yankees when George Steinbrenner cut Boston\u2019s heart out by signing Luis Tiant after the \u201978 season. But this is a weird feeling for sure.\nI can\u2019t wholly explain it, but I want to see Julien do well for a franchise we\u2019ve always hoped would fail spectacularly. I guess that comes from my respect for the man. And it\u2019s not like you can blame him for taking the job. The Bruins fired him.\nI will say, though, I\u2019m slightly surprised he took it. The appeal is obvious \u2014 the Canadiens are a first-place team (6 points up in the Atlantic Division on the third-place Bruins) and the league\u2019s most storied franchise. And there\u2019s no better place for Julien to exact vengeance on the Bruins organization if he feels like it\u2019s necessary.\nBut it seemed somewhat out of character to take a job from another coach \u2014 his new gig means Michel Therrien\u2019s unemployment. What the Canadiens did is not dissimilar to Theo Epstein\u2019s decision to fire Rick Renteria in October 2014 for no other reason than Joe Maddon had become available. That worked out OK for the Cubs.\nI\u2019m sure the Canadiens are viewing this as their best-case scenario \u2014 they\u2019re in first place, they have a little time to straighten out some flaws on the roster (including Carey Price\u2019s strange struggles), and they just upgraded at coach with someone who has had great success elsewhere and is already familiar with the market.\nBut it may work out for the Bruins, too, at least in a way that satisfies them. If they continue to play well under Cassidy, they could end up in the playoffs, and you know what that means. No, I don\u2019t mean a showdown with Julien\u2019s Canadiens, though that is certainly now on the sports wish-list around here.\nIt means they get out of paying Julien for another year and they get a playoff round to move a few games\u2019 worth of beer and pretzels. In the Bruins\u2019 world, that\u2019s what constitutes win-win nowadays.\nTOPICS: Bruins Touching All the Bases",

        "title": "VistaPrint: A Smart Solution for Small Businesses?",
        "raw_content": "Desktop Publishing / By Daniel P. McGoldrick / Printing & Scanning\nVistaPrint\u2019s patented online technology greatly reduces the amount of time, labor, and money traditionally associated with graphic design. You can get everything done on the VistaPrint website to complete your project and it offers satisfaction guarantee. VistaPrint caters to small businesses, a niche market that can appreciate the time and money saved using VistaPrint\u2019s services. The website at https://www.vistaprint.com is straightforward and full of clear and concise directions for its myriad of services. You\u2019ll find a large selection of designs and logos to work with or you can create your own on the site. If you have your own logos you can use them for your project, although it\u2019s more expensive. Of course, you will see the charges before you proof and confirm your order so just be vigilant.\nSo, should you use VistaPrint\u2019s services for your small business\u2019s desktop publishing needs? In the rest of this article, I\u2019ll break it down, with a look at some of VistaPrint\u2019s better known services as well as other factors that will help in your decision-making.\nBusiness cards are what VistaPrint is perhaps best known for and the reason for this is that they provide you with the templates, designs, and color schemes right on the website to create a quality card for a low price. Check out my article, \u201cBusiness Cards Printed For Only Shipping Costs\u201d (https://www.brighthub.com/multimedia/publishing/articles/1065.aspx), for the details on this service. I recommend VistaPrint for this project, especially in terms of cost-effectiveness. The process is simple, there are many choices, and I think printing them yourself wouldn\u2019t be worth the hassle. One thing to keep in mind whether you\u2019re using VistaPrint to make business cards, brochures, or post cards is to be cognizant of the add-ons and upgrades they offer. While these add-ons may enhance your finished product, they will cost you. Then again, you might just like what they have to offer and be willing to pay for it. VistaPrint wouldn\u2019t be as successful and have such a large market share if it weren\u2019t satisfying customers. Its world headquarters are in Bermuda. That little tidbit of information won\u2019t get you far but I found it curious. Otherwise, it\u2019s a huge company and the sun is no doubt always up at one of its facilities.\nVistaPrint is also a good choice for items like refrigerator magnets, pens, announcements, and holiday products. The company often will launch some type of promotional offer free of charge so keep an eye out for them and take advantage of them. It never hurts to promote your business anyway you can and VistaPrint from time to time lets you do it for free, although you do pay for shipping.\nAnother factor to consider is how quickly you need your items. The shipping charges increase dramatically the quicker you need your items. VistaPrint produces brochures and similar marketing materials comparable to a company like Fedex Kinko\u2019s for, in many cases, a quarter of the price, as long as you\u2019re in no great hurry to receive them. Fedex Kinko\u2019s or your local printer is going to have more selections and higher quality stock but you\u2019ll pay for it. (To learn more about Fedex Kinko\u2019s online printing services refer to my article on Brighthub.com entitled \u201cFedex Kinko\u2019s Online Printing Services:\u201d https://www.brighthub.com/multimedia/publishing/articles/1243.aspx.) I\u2019d go with Kinko\u2019s for more complex projects like presentations with tabs and bindings. VistaPrint does have a partnership with Office Max so if you have one near you that might be advantageous and convenient. You\u2019ll save if you pick up orders yourself.\nVistaPrint also has a handy Mailing Services solution, which covers everything from creating your postcards, for example, to delivering them to your potential customer\u2019s mailbox. Customers can use Mailing Services to upload their own list or purchase direct mail lists and have VistaPrint mail their postcards. This service cuts down on postage costs and the time-consuming chore of addressing and mailing them yourself. The lists VistaPrint sells to its customers are generated by AccuData and they apparently encompass many small business categories and are checked by a registry to make sure they\u2019re delivered properly to the place where the designated human is supposed to live.\nAs I\u2019ve said before, be very careful proofing your work and be vigilant in keeping track of add-ons and enhancements that drive up the price. Just as in many shopping experiences, you may go in for a few things and come out stuffed to the gills with things you didn\u2019t even think about beforehand. There have been complaints about a reoccurring charge for a rewards program that customers had no knowledge of signing up for. Hopefully, VistaPrint has remedied this but click on with caution and read the fine print. All in all, however, VistaPrint does a great job at creating high-quality desktop publishing products. Its website provides you with everything you need to create your business promotional materials, often for the cheapest rates.",

Picture: Jeffrey Milstein\nAn abusive passenger who urinated in his seat on board a flight from Las Vegas has been fined \u00a31,000, police said.\nShane O\u2019Grady was convicted of being drunk on board an aircraft following the incident on the inbound Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 on Wednesday, May 23, according to Sussex Police.\nO\u2019Grady was reported to police by staff on board the flight, and officers were requested to escort him from his seat prior to the disembarkment of other passengers at Gatwick.\nThe 30-year-old Irish national was described as being persistently disruptive throughout the journey, and using loud and foul language.\nAfter being refused more alcohol, he began to harass and intimidate staff, and was verbally abusive.\nIn an attempt to calm the situation, the flight crew placed the seatbelt signs on, but insisted passengers could still use the bathroom with caution.\nO\u2019Grady demanded the signs were removed and the crew obliged in an attempt to defuse the situation further, but despite this he urinated in his seat.\nAs a duty of care, staff provided him with a sleep suit \u2013 usually kept for First Class passengers \u2013 to change into as a result of his actions.\nO\u2019Grady, a sign writer, of no fixed address, was arrested after the plane safely landed, and was remanded in custody to appear before Crawley Magistrates\u2019 Court the following day (Thursday 24 May), charged with being drunk on board an aircraft.\nHe pleaded guilty and was fined \u00a31,000, and ordered to pay \u00a385 costs and a \u00a3100 victim surcharge.\nIt happened just three days after Sussex Police and Gatwick Airport launched their summer crackdown on disruptive passengers.\nSergeant Darren Taylor, of the Gatwick Prevention Team, said: \u201cGatwick is a very family-orientated airport, and we work hard with our partners to ensure the millions of passengers who pass through every year have a safe and enjoyable experience.\n\u201cWe engage with passengers at the earliest opportunity \u2013 through patrols, face to face contact and the distribution of posters and leaflets \u2013 to make them fully aware of the rules and their own responsibility.\n\u201cBut while the vast majority are well-behaved, there are always a few individuals who overstep the mark. Those who ignore our advice will be dealt with robustly, as is highlighted by this case.\u201d\nA Virgin Atlantic spokesperson said: \u201cThe safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is our top priority, and we won\u2019t tolerate any behaviour that compromises this. We always want our customers to have the best experience when they fly with us, and our cabin crew are highly trained to deal with any individuals that may impact that experience for others. We treat all incidents of disruptive behaviour seriously, and we\u2019ll continue to work with authorities to report incidents onboard.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Parishes : Chicheley\nCicelai (xi cent.); Chichele, Chechele (xiv cent.).\nThis parish covers 2,070 acres, of which about 70 acres are woodland and the remainder is nearly equally divided between arable land and pasture. (fn. 1) Thickthorn Wood in the east of the parish is of some size. The soil and subsoil are both clay, which provides material for the brickworks which exist in the parish. The inhabitants are mainly engaged in agriculture, and the principal crops produced are wheat, beans and roots.\nThe slope of the ground is from north (where it attains 341 ft. above ordnance datum) to west. The parish is watered by Chicheley Brook, a small tributary of the Ouse. There is in the grounds of Chicheley Hall a never-failing spring, the waters of which formerly supplied the house through the agency of a curious tower three stories high, erected by Sir John Chester, the fourth baronet, in 1725. After serving its purpose for one and a half centuries, the brickwork of the tower gave way and is now an ivy-covered ruin.\nThe village of Chicheley is small and lies in the centre of the parish on the main road running west from Bedford to Newport Pagnell. It is picturesquely situated in a hollow surrounded by trees. Chicheley Hall, which stands in extensive pleasure grounds, was built at the beginning of the 18th century and replaced a Tudor mansion built by Anthony Cave, of which the foundations may still be traced. (fn. 2) The present house is a rectangular structure of brick with stone dressings and is three stories in height with a basement. The centre of the principal front is raised and slightly broken forward, the angles being marked by fluted Corinthian pilasters standing upon pedestals and supporting an enriched entablature at the level of the second floor. The cornice is dropped on either side of the central projection and supported at wide intervals by similar pilasters carrying detached fragments of frieze and architrave. The windows have moulded stone architraves, and the entrance doorway, which is approached by five stone steps, is crowned by a fantastically designed curved pediment. The main cornice is continued round the other elevations, which are somewhat plainer. Internally some fine 18th-century panelling remains, and in one of the rooms is a beam, brought from the old house, which bears the following inscription: 'Cave ne deum offendas, cave ne proximum loedas, cave ne tua neglentia familiam deseras, 1550.' The date probably marks the completion of the older building.\nNorth-west of Chicheley Hall is the church, with the vicarage, a stuccoed building, adjacent. The vicaragehouse is described in 1639 as '4 Bays built with Stone and covered with Tyle, chambred over and boarded: the whole Building being contrived into 2 Storys and disposed into 3 Rooms, viz.\u2014the Hall, Parlour, Buttry, Kitchen and Milke House. In the yard a Barn of 3 Bays and Lean-to adjoyning a Close called Baldecroft.' (fn. 3) The remainder of the village consists of the school and school-house, red brick buildings erected in 1854 by the Rev. Anthony Chester, (fn. 4) a farm-house, inn and a few cottages. Among the farms scattered over the parish may be noted Thickthorn Farm, a modern red brick building, in the east. Traces of fish-ponds are, however, still visible, and the existence of a homestead moat is also indicated. (fn. 5) Balney Lodge, or the Grange Farm, which may be identified as the ancient manor-house of the Broughtons and their descendands in this parish, has an Elizabethan south wing with the inscription: 'Sobrie Juste Pie, 1601' on the frieze above the lintel of the west front. (fn. 6) The east wing seems to be rather later, and the chimney stack bears the date 1773. Sir John Chester, bart., planted an avenue of elms to the house in 1714 'for a view from the great house.' (fn. 7) A two-storied gabled house, now divided into three and standing in the hamlet of Bedlam about a quarter of a mile north-west of the church, is possibly of Elizabethan date. Near by are some 17th-century half-timber cottages with thatched roofs.\nThe following place-names have been found in documents connected with this parish: Portway, Gosland (xiii cent.), (fn. 8) Longegosland (fn. 9) (xiv cent.), Webb Mead (xvi cent.) and Anslowe Close, Butlers, Branons, Grabnooks farm, Dean field, and Jeggs (fn. 10) (xvii cent.).\nWilliam Fitz Ansculf held 9 hides 3 virgates in Chicheley in 1086, (fn. 11) and his descendants, who held the barony of Newport Pagnell (q.v.), are subsequently found exercising overlordship rights. (fn. 12) This property was divided into three manors. The first, of 3 hides, had been held by Baldwin since the time of Edward the Confessor. (fn. 13) The second, also of 3 hides, was held by Andrew, who had dispossessed Edestan, a man of Alnod Chentis. (fn. 14) The third, of 3 hides 3 virgates, was held by Payn, who succeeded nine thegns with power to sell without licence. (fn. 15) Three manors are found later in this parish, but it is impossible to state with certainty the exact origin of each. Two of them are later found belonging to Tickford or Newport Pagnell Priory, founded by Fulk Paynel, lord of Newport Pagnell, at the close of the 11th century, the more important being probably CHICHELEY MANOR, which takes its name from the parish. (fn. 16) Lands in Chicheley granted by Fulk Paynel are mentioned in confirmation charters to Tickford Priory, (fn. 17) and in the early 13th century the priory was said to hold a fee here. (fn. 18) Oliver, Prior of Newport Pagnell, obtained lands in Chicheley in 1255 (fn. 19) and the prior and his tenants are returned for a fee held in perpetual alms in 1302\u20133. (fn. 20) On the suppression of Tickford Priory in 1525 this manor was granted to Cardinal Wolsey for the endowment of his college at Oxford. (fn. 21) After the fall of Wolsey Chicheley was resumed by the Crown and granted to the college refounded as Henry the Eighth's College in September 1532. (fn. 22) The college was again surrendered to the Crown in 1545 (fn. 23) and in September of that year Anthony Cave, who had acquired wealth as a merchant of the Staple at Calais, petitioned for a grant of Chicheley and Thickthorns Manors, with other property of the dissolved priory of Tickford. His petition states that he was already lessee of the manors for a term of seventy years at a rental of \u00a333 17s. 11\u00bdd., (fn. 24) and he now offered \u00a3632 5s. for the purchase of the fee simple. (fn. 25) This offer was not accepted, but on 4 December of the same year, in consideration of the sum of \u00a3788 18s. 9d., he received a grant in fee of the manors, rectory and advowson to be held by one-twentieth of a knight's fee and \u00a33 10s. 7d. per annum. (fn. 26) Anthony Cave lived at Chicheley, where he built a mansion, which was until the 18th century the residence of his descendants. (fn. 27) He died without surviving male issue in 1558, (fn. 28) and by his will, dated 31 May 1555, his manors in Chicheley were bequcathed to his daughter Judith Cave, subject to his wife Elizabeth's life interest. (fn. 29) Elizabeth Cave married shortly after her husband's death John Newdigate, (fn. 30) whose son John Newdigate, a wellknown 16th-century scholar, married Martha Cave, one of her younger daughters. (fn. 31) John Newdigate, sen., died on 16 August 1565, (fn. 32) and the year after his widow married Richard Weston, a judge of Common Pleas. (fn. 33) She died in 1577, when the Chicheley property reverted, in pursuance of her husband's will, to Anthony Chester, aged eleven and a-half, son of Judith Cave by her marriage with William Chester. (fn. 34) Anthony Chester is said to have raised a troop of horse at his own expense in 1588 to repel the threatened Spanish invasion, and to have accompanied Queen Elizabeth to Tilbury Fort at the head of his troops. (fn. 35) He was sheriff of the county in 1602, (fn. 36) and in March 1619\u201320 was created a baronet. (fn. 37) He was in 1628 Sheriff of Bedfordshire, (fn. 38) where he had recently purchased the Tilsworth estate, (fn. 39) and received royal licence to reside outside the county at Chicheley Hall during his year of office. (fn. 40) Sir Anthony Chester, bart., died in 1635. (fn. 41) He married twice; by his first wife Elizabeth daughter of Sir Henry Boteler, kt., he had five sons and seven daughters, (fn. 42) and by his second wife Mary daughter of John Ellis, one son Robert. (fn. 43) His eldest son and natural heir Anthony was at this time fortytwo years of age, (fn. 44) and by his father's will, made on his death-bed and bearing date 26 November 1635, both he and his brothers and sisters were passed over in favour of Henry Chester, their father's third son by the first wife. (fn. 45) The Chicheley estates were indeed entailed on Sir Anthony Chester by settlement of 1628, (fn. 46) but his father's partial disinheritance appears to have embarrassed his circumstances, for in 1638 he obtained a warrant to admit his son Henry, then thirteen years of age, to levy a fine of these manors in order to enable Sir Anthony to lease the property for twenty-one years, 'whereby to pay his debts of \u00a32,500 and to raise portions for his seven younger children.' (fn. 47) Sir Anthony was an ardent Royalist, and greatly distinguished himself for courage and bravery at the battle of Naseby in 1645, (fn. 48) in which same year Chicheley Hall was plundered and sacked by Parliamentary troops. (fn. 49) He was eventually obliged to take refuge in Holland in 1646, and previous to his departure sold 658 acres in Chicheley to his brother Henry Chester, leaving the remainder of his estate to him in trust in order to secure it from sequestration. (fn. 50) There is still extant a letter written by Sir Anthony to his brother on the eve of departure begging him to be 'as a husband to my wife and a father to my children during my absence for I have no friend in the world that I dare trust in as yourself,' and proceeding to state that if the estate 'be in your hands, then I hope there will be no danger ensue to me or mine.' (fn. 51) Sir Anthony Chester returned from exile in 1650 and died the following year at Chicheley. (fn. 52) By his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Peyton, bart., who survived him forty years, he had thirteen children\u2014five sons and eight daughters. (fn. 53) Of them Anthony, second and eldest surviving son, succeeded to the Chicheley estates, which were at this time greatly encumbered. (fn. 54) He acquired, however, an increase of fortune by his marriage in 1657 with Mary daughter of Samuel Cranmer, a wealthy alderman of London, (fn. 55) while on the death of his uncle Henry Chester in 1666 he inherited under his will the 658 acres in Chicheley alienated by the late baronet in 1646, and also the Bedfordshire property. (fn. 56) In 1685 Anthony, eldest son of the baronet, died unmarried at the age of twenty-two, (fn. 57) and two years later his father made a settlement of Chicheley, (fn. 58) which passed on his death in February 1697\u20138 to John his second son. (fn. 59) Sir John Chester did not settle until 1714 at Chicheley, which remained the dower-house of his mother until her death in 1710. Previous to this date he caused the old building to be demolished, and the present house was erected. (fn. 60) He died and was buried in February 1725\u20136 at Chicheley, leaving eleven children by his first wife Ann, daughter of William Wollaston. (fn. 61) William, his eldest son, succeeded to the title, but under his father's will, though he acquired the Chicheley estate, should he have no son it was to revert to the testator's favourite son John, who also acquired the more valuable Bedfordshire property. (fn. 62) Sir William Chester had six daughters, (fn. 63) so that on his death (which took place thirty-two days after his father) not only the title but also the Chicheley estate passed under this will to his heir male, the above John Chester. (fn. 64) Penelope, widow of Sir William, thereupon brought a suit in Chancery disputing the terms of her father-in-law's will, but the suit was brought to an unsuccessful close in 1730, the judges being unanimously in favour of Sir John Chester, bart. (fn. 65) He married Frances daughter of Sir Edward Bagot, bart., by whom he had two sons and one daughter. (fn. 66) He died intestate in February 1747\u20138, and letters of administration of his estate were granted to his elder son Sir Charles Bagot Chester, bart., in 1748, (fn. 67) when he also suffered a recovery of the Chicheley estates. (fn. 68) Sir Charles Bagot Chester, bart., is described by Cole as 'a thorough accomplished gentleman and universally esteemed by his acquaintance,' (fn. 69) but appears to have been a profligate of the worst description, and died in a fit of delirium tremens without legitimate issue in 1755. (fn. 70) By his will, dated 21 May 1755, he alienated the whole of the Chester estates, both in Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire, from that family. Chicheley passed to Charles Bagot, son of his uncle Sir Walter Wagstaffe Bagot, bart., and his heirs in tail-male on condition that he should assume the name and arms of Chester. (fn. 71) Charles Bagot accordingly assumed the name of Chester and lived at Chicheley, where he was frequently visited by the poet Cowper, till his death in 1793. (fn. 72) Charles Chester, his son and heir, did not live at the Hall, which he leased about this date to Charles Pinfold, lord of Walton. (fn. 73) He died unmarried at Hampton Court in 1838, (fn. 74) and in accordance with the entail Chicheley passed to Anthony son of his brother Anthony Chester. (fn. 75) He died without male issue in 1858, and Chicheley became the property of his first cousin, Charles Montague son of William Chester. (fn. 76) The Rev. John Greville Chester, the present lord of the manor, succeeded his father, Charles Montague Chester, on the latter's death in 1879.\nThe Grange Farm, Chicheley\nChester. Party argent and sable a cheveron engrailed between three rams heads cut off at the neck and having golden horns all countercoloured in a border gules bezanty.\nA second manor in this parish, known as THICKTHORNS MANOR, belonged to Tickford Priory, and is mentioned in the confirmation by Edward II of the founder's gifts. It was then said to be in Chicheley and Hardmead, and to comprise 317 a. 1 r. of land with meadow, pasture and wood. (fn. 77) This manor has always followed the same descent as Chicheley, and still gives its name to a farm in the east of the parish.\nThe right to hold a court every three weeks for both manors of Chicheley and Thickthorns is mentioned in the confirmation by Edward II of the founder's charter to Tickford Priory. (fn. 78) The view was held at Thickthorns, (fn. 79) and was confirmed by the overlord of the manor in 1310. (fn. 80) A grant of free warren in both manors was also obtained in 1311. (fn. 81)\nMention of a water-mill here has been found in the 16th century (fn. 82) and a windmill in the 14th century. (fn. 83)\nA third estate in this parish was the titular BROUGHTONS MANOR, which appears in the 15th century. In 1420 John Fitz John and Amice his wife received a quitclaim from Richard Hulcote and Agnes his wife (on behalf of the said Agnes) of messuages and land in Chicheley, (fn. 84) and in the same year transferred the property to John Andrew and John Webbe. (fn. 85) They were probably trustees, for in 1451 John Barley and Agnes his wife (fn. 86) made two settlements, in both of which the name of John Andrew, jun., appears. (fn. 87) The second settlement seems to represent a genuine transfer to John Broughton, (fn. 88) and this property henceforward follows the same descent as the manor of Broughton (q.v.) (being described as Chicheley Manor in 1504 (fn. 89) ) until 1573, when William Paulet, Lord St. John, transferred Chicheley Manor, called Broughtons, to William Chester, (fn. 90) whose son Anthony Chester inherited Chicheley Manor four years later from his grandmother (see above). No further separate mention has been found of Broughtons Manor by name. (fn. 91)\nVarious estates in neighbouring parishes had lands extending into Chicheley, notably the manor of Pateshull or Little Crawley in North Crawley (q.v.), which is indeed sometimes called the manor of Crawley and Chicheley. (fn. 92) In 1384 John de Burton, parson of North Crawley, received licence to sue the Prior of Tickford, who had seized tithes and obventions from Little Crawley and lands in Chicheley which John said had been from time immemorial within the metes and bounds of his parish. (fn. 93)\nHollowes Manor in North Crawley (fn. 94) and Clifton Reynes Manor (fn. 95) also both extended into Chicheley.\nA younger branch of the family of Mansel or Maunsell, of which Sampson Maunsell was the head in the 13th century, was settled in Chicheley from the 13th to the 17th century. Reference to them is infrequent. In 1273 Sampson Maunsell held of the honour of Newport a fee in Chicheley (fn. 96) which had passed to William Maunsell by 1284\u20136. (fn. 97) It is mentioned a few years later as belonging to the 'heir of Sampson le Maunsel.' (fn. 98) In the middle of the 14th century Hugh Maunsell's name occurs in a list of Chicheley jurors. (fn. 99) In 1400\u20131 John Maunsell of Wendlebury (Oxfordshire), smith, and Joan his wife quitclaimed a messuage and land in Chicheley to Richard Maunsell, belonging to the parish. (fn. 100) An old pedigree together with a rhyming chronicle of the family is preserved at Thorpe Malsor, the seat of the Northamptonshire family of Maunsells, who claim descent from the Chicheley branch. According to these ancient records a Maunsell having slain his brother with a longbow, the family suffered reverses and disappeared from this parish until Almighty God 'of his Grace\nManueell. Argent a cheveron between three maunches sable.\nAgain in Chicheley did us place.' (fn. 101) There is certainly a gap of nearly 200 years in the history of the family at this date. The name reappears in the person of Thomas son of Richard Maunsell, (fn. 102) who by his will, bearing date August 1581, left his lands in Chicheley to his son John. (fn. 103) John Maunsell died and was buried at Bromley in Kent in 1625. (fn. 104) He had two sons, John and Thomas, (fn. 105) who appear to have sold their property in Chicheley shortly after this date to the lord of the manor, for in a schedule of lands belonging to Sir Anthony Chester, bart., lord of the manor, made in 1646, occurs mention of 'all that capitall messuage with the appurtenances called Mansells, situate and being in Berry End in Chicheley aforesaid.' (fn. 106) The Maunsell lands have since followed the same descent as the manor, while the family removed to Thorpe Malsor, where it is still established. (fn. 107)\nA family of Horton was settled in Chicheley for several generations in the 15th century, or possibly earlier. Richard son of John Horton (fn. 108) in his will proved in 1461 refers to his grandfather Thomas Horton, whose silver spoons he bequeathed to his sister Joan. (fn. 109) Some years after his death his widow Millicent disputed his will with Richard Horton and other trustees. (fn. 110)\nThe church of ST. LAWRENCE consists of a chancel 21 ft. by 14 ft., central tower 15 ft. 6 in. by 12 ft., nave 35 ft. by 18 ft., north aisle 52 ft. by 15 ft. 6 in., and south porch; all the measurements being internal. It is built of rubble, and the roofs are covered with lead.\nThe plan of the present building appears to be the result of successive additions to a 12th-century church consisting of the existing nave and a small chancel. A north aisle, extending the full length of this building, was added about 1325, while about 1480 the original chancel was replaced by the tower, and a new chancel was built to the east of the tower. In the 16th century the south porch and the nave clearstory were added, and in 1708 the chancel was again rebuilt. The aisle and tower have been recently restored.\nThe chancel is a pleasing example of the Queen Anne period. At the eastern angles and against the tower are Corinthian pilasters, while the side walls are crowned by a moulded cornice and plain parapet with carved urns at the corners, the east wall being finished with a pediment. Neither the north nor the east wall is pierced, but externally in the east wall are two large semicircular niches with shell heads and carved pedestals. On the south is a square-headed doorway, flanked on either side by a window of two lights with Gothic tracery in a square head. The windows have moulded architraves, which are carried down to inclose blank panels below the sills, and are surmounted by pulvinated friezes and segmental pediments, while above the doorway is a moulded cornice supporting the shield of John Chester, fourth baronet, Chester with Wollaston in pretence. The walls are plastered internally and have a wood-panelled dado; at the east end, occupying the full width of the wall, is a marble reredos with Corinthian pilasters, supporting a deep richly foliated frieze with a moulded cornice, above which, in an architectural setting, is a tablet with the inscription 'Gloria in Excelsis.' The fine plaster ceiling has a foliated cornice and a central oval wreath of flowers and fruit. The chancel is entered from the west through an oak screen of three round arches with Roman Doric columns and responds on tall pedestals. The pedestals of the middle arch form posts to a charming wrought-iron gate surmounted by scrollwork and foliation. A lead rain-water head at the north-west corner of the chancel bears the arm of John Chester and the date 1708.\nThe ground stage of the tower opens to the chancel on the east, to the nave on the west, and to the aisle on the north, by pointed arches of the 15th century, supported by semi-octagonal responds with moulded capitals and bases. Part of the south respond of the western arch has been removed, and the upper part of the arch to the chancel is now blocked. On the south is a tall 15th-century window of three lights with tracery in a pointed head, and at the south-east is a newel staircase to the bell-chamber, the original entrance to which is blocked, a new doorway having been opened externally. High in the wall is a doorway which opened originally from the staircase to the rood-loft, but now admits to an 18th-century gallery forming an upper floor to the ground stage of the tower. The oak rood with figures which now stands upon this gallery was erected in 1904.\nOn the north side of the nave is an early 14thcentury arcade of three pointed arches supported by clustered pillars and responds with moulded capitals and bases. On the south are a three-light window and a plain doorway, both of which were inserted in the 15th century. In the west wall is a threelight traceried window of about 1350. The clearstory is lighted from either side by four 16th-century windows with depressed heads. On the south side of the nave is a 15th-century stoup with a cinquefoiled head, and near the west end of the wall are traces of painting which probably date from the 16th century. The aisle is lighted from the north by two windows, only the jambs and rear arches of which are ancient, and from the west by a modern window. The east window, now blocked, dates from the 14th century, and the pointed north doorway is of the same period. The aisle was reroofed in the 16th century.\nThe porch is of two stories and has a pointed archway on the south and a square-headed window of two lights in each lateral wall, all of the 16th century. The upper chamber was originally lighted by a small window in the gable, but this is now blocked. The tower rises two stages above the church roof and is surmounted by an embattled parapet. The second stage has two small windows, one of which is partly covered by the clock face, and the bell-chamber is lighted from all sides by long twin windows, each of two trefoiled lights with a transom midway in their height.\nOn the floor at the east end of the aisle is a brass with the figures of a man in plate armour and his wife in clock and veil head-dress, and an inscription commemorating Anthony Cave, merchant of the Staple of Calais, who died in 1558; two shields remain, one of Cave impaling Lovett, and the other of the Staple, while two others are lost. On the east wall of the aisle is a 16th-century brass with the figure of a shrouded skeleton, an inscription in verse, and a shield of Cave. In the nave are a brass inscription with an achievement of arms to William son of Henry Shelley of Patcham, Sussex (d. 1638), and an inscription to Elizabeth Noke (fn. 111) (?) (d. 1658). Against the east end of the north wall of the aisle there is also a stone monument to the Anthony Cave mentioned above, erected by Elizabeth (Lovett) his wife in 1576. It consists of a sarcophagus flanked by caryatides standing on pedestals and supporting an entablature and pediment. On the sarcophagus is the recumbent figure of a corpse, above which in high relief are figures of two sons and six daughters; in the pediment is an achievement of the arms of Cave, while above the figures of the children are the shields of Cave and Lovett. At the east end of the aisle is a large monument to Sir Anthony Chester, knight and first baronet (d. 1635), and Dame Elizabeth (Boteler) his first wife (d. 1629). Their kneeling figures are represented below a canopy formed by an entablature and cornice supported by tall Corinthian columns; above the cornice are the shields of Chester, Chester impaling Boteler, and Chester quartering Cave and Boteler. On the north wall of the chancel are two elaborate marble monuments; one, surmounted by the arms of Chester impaling Cranmer, in memory of Sir Anthony Chester, third baronet (d. 1698), and Mary his wife (d. 1710), daughter of Samuel Cranmer, London; and the other, with the arms of Chester impaling Wollaston, to Ann, first wife of Sir John Chester, fourth baronet (d. 1704), daughter of William Wollaston of Shenton, Leicestershire. There are several 17th-century floor slabs in the north aisle. The communion table and rails are of the 18th century, the former being dated 1755, and the carved ends of a wide seat in the chancel are of the same period. At the west end of the church is some 17th-century panelling, and there is a Bible box of that period in the aisle.\nThe tower contains a ring of six bells, all by Abraham Rudhall, 1718, and the framework is of the same date.\nThe communion plate includes a cup and cover paten of 1744 and a flagon of 1735.\nThe church of Chicheley, which formed part of the original endowment of Tickford Priory, follows the same descent as the manor, (fn. 112) and is at present in the gift of the Rev. John Greville Chester. In the taxation of 1291 the vicarage was assessed at \u00a36, (fn. 113) and at the Dissolution is entered at \u00a38. (fn. 114) The rectory follows the same descent as the advowson.\nIn 1318 Richard Burgess alienated land in mortmain in Chicheley towards the maintenance of a chaplain in the church of Newport Pagnell. (fn. 115)\nThe charity of John Maunsell, mentioned in the Parliamentary Returns of 1786, consists of an annuity of \u00a32 12s. issuing out of 2 acres of land in the parish which is distributed among poor widows and widowers.\nIn 1852 the Rev. Henry Cotton by deed gave \u00a3100 consols, the dividends to be given to such one, two or three poor inhabitants as the vicar should appoint.\nThe Rev. Samuel Thomas Townsend by his will in 1874 bequeathed \u00a3500, which was invested in \u00a3536 3s. 10d. consols, the annual dividends, amounting to \u00a313 8s., to be distributed equally among twelve aged sick or infirm poor.\nThe sums of stock are held by the official trustees.\n2.

Originally published by Victoria County History, London, 1911.\nFelteham (xi cent.); Feltenham, Felthenham (xvii cent.).\nFeltham lies to the south of the main road from Hounslow to Staines, which runs just beyond and parallel with the northern boundary of the parish, The country is almost level, with a slight upward trend from south to north, but the highest point reached is only 73 ft. above ordnance datum. (fn. 1) The River Crane forms part of the eastern boundary, and 'the Queen's or Cardinal's River' (v.s. East Bedfont) flows diagonally across the northern part of the parish, passing under the railway near the station, and a few hundred yards farther under the Feltham-Hounslow road, by a bridge which was built about 1800. (fn. 2) Of the 1,789\u00bd acres in Feltham, about two-thirds are composed of arable land, and 371 acres are laid down in permanent grass. (fn. 3) There are only 20 acres of woodland, (fn. 4) and these lie mostly about the private houses in the north-east. The parish was inclosed in 1800 with Hanworth and Sunbury. (fn. 5) Until that date Hounslow Heath extended over the eastern part of the parish, and apparently the only roads which then existed were those from Ashford and from Hanworth. Even what is now the principal road, that which leads from the village to Hounslow, was not constructed till after this date. (fn. 6) The cross-road from Hatton, and the ways leading west from St. Dunstan's Church towards Bedfont and south through Feltham Hill, were also laid out at this time, the two latter following the courses of ancient tracks. (fn. 7)\nThe village is long and straggling, and extends for over a mile along the road to Hounslow. The older part lies towards the south, about the parish church of St. Dunstan. The houses stand close on to the narrow road, which curves sharply to the right, and then with a right-angled turn to the left proceeds past Feltham Farm to the central portion of the village. It is here known as the High Street, and widens out slightly before reaching the Red Lion Hotel, just beyond which a large pond lies to the right of the road. Northwards again are the more modern houses and shops, which are increasing year by year. Farther to the northwest is Southville, which at present consists of two streets of workmen's houses. The modern buildings lie within easy reach of the station, which is on the Windsor branch of the London and South Western Railway.\nThe spiritual needs of this growing population have been met by the erection of St. Catherine's Church, which was built in 1880 as a chapel of ease to the parish church, which stands at the upper end of the village. A north porch was added in 1890, and the tower and spire in 1898. There are two large Congregational chapels, one of which was founded in 1805 and rebuilt in 1865, while the second was built in 1905. A Wesleyan chapel was erected in 1870, and a Baptist chapel in the same year. A cemetery, extending over 1\u00bd acres, was formed in 1880 at a cost of about \u00a31,400. It has no mortuary chapels, and is now under the control of the Urban District Council. The convent of SS. Mary and Scholastica, belonging to an Anglican community of nuns living under the rule of St. Benedict, was founded in 1868 by Father Ignatius. (fn. 8) It was supported mainly by the sale of plain needlework and church embroidery worked by the sisters, and there was a small orphanage and day school attached to it. The establishment was broken up and removed in 1873. (fn. 9)\nThe hamlet of Feltham Hill lies on the southern borders of the parish, and is composed mainly of a few private houses standing in their own grounds. Mr. Alfred William Smith, one of the chief landowners in Feltham, lives at The Park in Feltham Hill. The old Manor House at Feltham is the residence of another landowner, Mr. Robert Smith.\nWilliam Wynne Ryland, the well-known engraver, who was the first to use the chalk or dotted line in his art, is buried in the churchyard. He was executed at Tyburn in 1793 for forging bonds of the East India Company. (fn. 10) Mrs. Frances Marie Kelly (Charles Lamb's 'Barbara S-'), actress and founder of the School of Acting in Dean Street, Soho, spent the last years of her life at Ross Cottage, and is buried at Feltham. She died in 1882. (fn. 11)\nThe parish is known chiefly for the Middlesex Industrial School for Boys, which occupies a large tract of ground in the south-west between the roads to Ashford and to East Bedfont. It was built in 1859 to hold about 1,000 boys, and consists of a large principal building, a chapel, infirmary, workshops, gas factory, residences for officers, and other detached buildings. About 70 acres of land are cultivated by the institution. There are ivory works near the village, and a cartridge factory stands on the banks of the River Crane. Saw mills have been erected near the station, and there is a large gravel pit lying near the railway line. A considerable portion of the parish is cultivated by nursery and market gardeners. The soil is gravel on a subsoil of gravel. The following place-names occur:-Swanne, Fullers and Loom Pit Closes, Mark Corner, the Greth.\nFELTHAM is mentioned in a charter of King Edgar as one of the members of Staines which had been given to Westminster Abbey by Offa King of Mercia. (fn. 12) This charter is, however, of doubtful origin, (fn. 13) and though Feltham may have belonged to Westminster at an early date, yet it is not mentioned among the manors belonging to Staines in the confirmatory charter of Edward the Confessor, (fn. 14) the authenticity of which is not questioned.\nAccording to the Domesday Survey there were two manors in Feltham before the Conquest; one consisting of 5 hides was held by a vassal of King Edward, the other, consisting of 7 hides, was held by a vassal of Earl Harold. (fn. 15) Both were given by the Conqueror to Robert Count of Mortain, and were held by him as one manor. (fn. 16) The Mortain lands were forfeited to Henry I after the rebellion of Count Robert's son, William, in 1104. (fn. 17) Feltham seems to have been granted shortly after to the Redvers family, who held it of the king in chief. The grant was probably made to Richard de Redvers, who received many gifts of land in return for his services to Henry I before the latter's accession, (fn. 18) and Richard's son, Baldwin de Redvers, held land in Feltham, while his daughter Hawise de Roumare, Countess of Lincoln, gave the church to St. Giles in the Fields. (fn. 19) The manor apparently descended in the direct male line, and came eventually to William de Vernon, (fn. 20) also known as de Ripariis, or Rivers, the second son of Baldwin de Redvers, who succeeded to the family estates and title of Earl of Devon after the death of his elder brother's sons, the youngest of whom died in 1184. (fn. 21) William de Vernon died in 1216, (fn. 22) and Feltham seems to have passed through the marriage of his daughter Joan (fn. 23) to Hubert de Burgh, (fn. 24) the justiciar of England. In 1228 the latter conveyed all his right in the manor to Henry III, together with his right in Kempton Manor in Sunbury parish, in exchange for the manors of Aylsham in Norfolk and Westhall in Suffolk. (fn. 25) From this time Feltham was closely associated with Kempton, and as part of that manor lay within the jurisdiction of its larger neighbour. (fn. 26) In 1245 Richard de Ponte, by virtue of his office as custodian of Kempton Manor, was granted an exemption from all customs and services due from 2 virgates and 1\u00bd acres of land in Feltham, with a reduction of rent from 11s. 5\u00bdd. to 5s. (fn. 27) In 1440 Robert Manfield, then keeper of the manor, and William Pope were granted 12s. a day from the profits of the towns of Feltham and Kempton by reason of their office of bearing the rod before the king and the Knights of the Garter at the Feast of St. George. (fn. 28) The king extended the protection in 1445 to all the men, tenants and residents in his manor of Feltham, with the assurance that their corn, hay, horse and carriages and other goods and chattels should not be seized for the king's use during a term of ten years. (fn. 29)\nFeltham was annexed by Henry VIII to the manor of Hampton Court, (fn. 30) and it was held of that manor in 1594 and as late as 1631. In 1594 the 'perquisites and issues of the courts, all franchises, privileges, emoluments, and hereditaments' in Feltham were granted to Sir William Killigrew with a lease of Kempton Manor and park for eighty years. (fn. 31) This grant was possibly made with a view to inclosures. Sir William's son, Sir Robert, obtained a grant in free socage of the same manor and park in 1631, presumably with the same rights over Feltham; for the deed recites the grant to Sir William of the courts and profits of the courts, and other emoluments in Feltham, although in the ensuing confirmation to Sir Robert, Feltham is not mentioned by name. (fn. 32) His son and grandson, Sir William and Robert Killigrew, held manorial rights over Feltham together with the manor of Kempton in 1651, and conveyed them with the latter manor to Sir Brocket Spencer and William Muschamp. (fn. 33) It seems probable that the manorial rights over Feltham died out about the end of the 17th century. There is evidence that courts were held there by the lords of Kempton in 1676 and 1700. (fn. 34) The manorial rights probably died out very soon after.\nThe grant of jurisdiction in Feltham and Kempton to Sir William Killigrew in 1594 did not of course affect the king's possession of his lands in Feltham (vide supra). In 1631 Francis Lord Cottington received a grant through his trustees, Sir Henry Browne and John Cliffe, of these lands under the title of 'all lands, tenements, and hereditaments known as the manor of Feltham,' together with certain specified tenements. (fn. 35) A great fire broke out in 1634, which destroyed Lord Cottington's manorhouse, together with thirteen dwelling-houses and sixteen barns, causing a loss of nearly \u00a35,000. (fn. 36) Lord Cottington was on the king's side in the Civil War, and was amongst those excepted by Parliament from indemnity or composition. (fn. 37) His estates were confiscated, and were assigned in 1649 to John Bradshaw the regicide, (fn. 38) but they were recovered at the Restoration by his nephew and heir, Charles Cottington. (fn. 39) The latter sold Feltham in 1670 to Sir Thomas Chambers. (fn. 40) He died in 1692, and was succeeded by his son Thomas, who left two daughters. (fn. 41) By the marriage of the elder, Mary, Feltham came to Lord Vere Beauclerk. (fn. 42) It was inherited by their son, Aubrey (Beauclerk) Baron Vere, who succeeded his cousin in 1787 as Duke of St. Albans. (fn. 43) He still held the manor in 1802, (fn. 44) but it was sold probably after his death in 1803 to a Mr. Fish, who himself died before 1816. (fn. 45) It came before 1874 to Thomas and Edward Barnet, and Peregrine Birch, by whom with others it is still held.\nAzure a fesse between three roses or.\nBy an order stated in the court roll for 1676 no person was allowed 'to bring or receive into the parish of Feltham or to entertain there any foreigner or stranger as an inhabitant' without the consent of the majority of the parish, and without giving security to the churchwardens or overseers of the poor for the care of any such 'foreigner.' (fn. 46) Any one transgressing in this manner was liable to a fine of 11d. to be paid to the lord of Kempton manor. The parish not being inclosed at that time there was a great expanse of common pasture for pigs, and consequently two 'hogg-drivers' were appointed for the year in the manor court. (fn. 47) One of their duties was to give warning to the owners of every 'un-ringed' hog or pig which they found in the commons or fields, and if after two days the warning was still disregarded, they were entitled to 4d. for each hog and 2d. for each pig over and above the amount of the fine paid by the owner to the lord of the manor. (fn. 48)\n(Reye, Ray, Raye, xvi and xvii cents.) was held of the lords of Feltham. William de Vernon gave land in Feltham to the convent of Cheshunt, (fn. 49) and the gift was confirmed by Hubert de Burgh as lord of the manor of Feltham before 1229. (fn. 50) Land was held of the convent by Agnes de la Rye, who was probably the daughter or the widow of Richard de la Rye. (fn. 51) Whether he took his name from the land or the land was named after him, it seems to have been known as the Rye from that time. At the instance of Dionysia, Prioress of Cheshunt, and as the result of a lawsuit which was perhaps collusive, Agnes conveyed her land in 1257 to John the Warrener of Kempton, to hold at a yearly rent of 7s. from the convent. (fn. 52) In 1311 Alice de Somery, who was then prioress, released all the convent's right in the land to John, (fn. 53) who seems to have added to it to a considerable extent; this sub-tenancy is here lost sight of. (fn. 54) The Rye, having passed as part of the manor to the Crown in 1228, (fn. 55) was granted by Henry VIII to the Hospital of St. Giles in 1524, in return for other lands in Feltham which Henry VII had taken for the enlargement of Hanworth Park, and for which no recompense had been made. (fn. 56) The Rye then consisted of a barn and toft, a croft, a close, and 30 acres of land. (fn. 57) After the lands of St. Giles had been ceded to the Crown in 1537, the Rye was granted to John Welbeck in 1543, on a lease of twenty-one years. (fn. 58)\nIt was included in the grant of the manor to the trustees of Lord Cottington in 1631, (fn. 59) and was at that time, as it had been in 1543, divided into two parts-the Great Rye, containing a barn, two closes and 4 acres of pasture and woods; and the Little Rye, which consisted of 3 acres. (fn. 60) Both were included in the manor in 1670. (fn. 61) Rye Close was still known in 1800. (fn. 62) It lay on the southern borders of the parish to the east of Feltham Hill.\nAn estate called HAUBERGERS in Feltham was apparently held in chief. John le Hauberger held a considerable estate in Feltham in the reign of Edward II. About 40 acres of land had belonged to Thomas atte Brugge, who held of the king, and these had been acquired by John le Hauberger from Thomas le Spenser in the preceding reign. (fn. 63) As the transaction had been carried out without gaining the consent of the king, the lands were taken into the king's hands. On payment of a fine, however, the offence was pardoned, and John le Hauberger was allowed to enter again into possession in 1326. (fn. 64) He died about 1335, and in common with his wife Margaret he held a certain amount of land in Feltham of the king at a yearly rent of 15s., payable to the manor of Kempton. (fn. 65) He held also a smaller estate of the Hospital of St. Giles, (fn. 66) and both were inherited by his son Edward le Hauberger, who was born and baptized at Feltham. (fn. 67) It was probably these lands which were known later as Haubergers or Lucyes. A farm of this name was bought from Nicholas Townly by Francis Lord Cottington in the 17th century, (fn. 68) and descended with the latter's manor to his nephew Charles Cottington. (fn. 69) The manor was sold to Sir Thomas Chambers in 1670, but Haubergers was specially excepted. (fn. 70) It was the cause of litigation shortly afterwards between Charles Cottington and Francis Philips, who held Kempton Manor, (fn. 71) and the farm was finally sold to the latter in 1674 for the sum of \u00a3150, and in consideration of the release of \u00a329 13s. 4d. which Cottington owed him as costs and charges in the foregoing suit. (fn. 72) It was then known as Feltham Farm, (fn. 73) and seems to have descended with the manor of Kempton, for in 1800 it was supposed to form part of the property of Edmund Hill, who had bought Kempton in 1798. (fn. 74) The present Feltham Farm lies on the main road near the older part of the village. (fn. 75)\nThe RECTORY MANOR, which was also known as the manor of Feltham, was held of the king in chief. The Hospital of St. Giles in the Fields received a grant of land in Feltham at an early date from Earl Baldwin de Redvers. (fn. 76) The gift has been ascribed to the reigns of Richard I and John, (fn. 77) but no member of the family named Baldwin was living at that time, (fn. 78) and it was probably made by the Baldwin de Redvers who was son and heir of Richard de Redvers, and first Earl of Devon, (fn. 79) whose daughter gave the church of Feltham to the hospital. (fn. 80) In this case the grant must have taken place before 1155, the year in which Baldwin died. (fn. 81) It was confirmed to the hospital by Pope Alexander IV in the time of Henry III. (fn. 82)\nIn the reign of John the master and brethren of St. Giles granted land in Feltham to Robert Simple at a yearly rent of 14s. (fn. 83) When any of the brethren passed through Feltham he was bound by the terms of his lease to receive them in the house (hospicium), and to give them such food as he had. He was also to give to the hospital a tenth of the produce of the land, and a third of all his chattels at his death, in return for which the land was secured to him and his heirs, though he could neither pledge nor alienate it, and the hospital undertook to compel the villeins on the estate to work for him. (fn. 84)\nIt was perhaps the same house which was mentioned in 1307 as in the custody of Robert Simple. An inquiry was then made as to the advisability of stopping up a way in the village of Feltham which led to the village well through the middle court of the house belonging to St. Giles. (fn. 85) The village seems to have been just within the king's manor of Feltham, (fn. 86) but on condition that the hospital made a new and equally convenient approach to the well they were allowed to stop up the old way. (fn. 87) The alteration really benefited both parties, for not only did the hospital ensure the privacy of their house, but also the new way was considerably shorter and broader than the old. (fn. 88)\nThe Hospital of St. Giles held the rectory manor until 1537, when, in exchange for the manor of Burton Lazars, it was ceded to the king. (fn. 89) All the land which the hospital had held in Feltham was granted in 1544, after the dissolution of the house, to John Dudley, Viscount Lisle, the son of the Earl of Northumberland. (fn. 90) He sold it in May 1545 to John Welbeck, (fn. 91) who conveyed it during the same month to John Leigh of London, probably in mortgage, (fn. 92) as Welbeck had licence to alienate to Andrew Bury in the following December. (fn. 93) It is uncertain how the rectory came to Edward Bashe or Baeshe, who died seised of it in 1587. (fn. 94) He had settled it the preceding year on his son and heir Ralph, on the latter's marriage with Frances daughter of Edward Cary. (fn. 95) Ralph and Frances conveyed it in 1595 to Walter Gibbes and Elizabeth his wife. (fn. 96) By his will (dated 7 June 1612) Walter settled it on Elizabeth for twentyone years. (fn. 97) She apparently died before May 1620, for Walter Gibbes, eldest son and heir of the elder Walter, came into his inheritance at that time. (fn. 98) He conveyed it in 1626 to William Penfather, from whom it passed to Francis Lord Cottington, (fn. 99) who had a grant of the reputed manor of Feltham in 1631 (q.v.). From that time the rectory and manor have passed through the same hands.\nThe church of ST. DUNSTAN has a nave and chancel of equal width, built in 1808, with a west tower and wooden spire covered with shingles. North and south aisles, in a feeble Romanesque style, were added in 1853, and to the north of the chancel is a vestry. The whole is built of yellow and purple stock bricks, with round-headed windows, and has no architectural merit; but being set in a thicklyplanted churchyard, with a path shaded by yews leading to its principal doorway in the west wall of the tower, can hardly be said to detract from the simple charms of its surroundings. It retains its high pews, and a western gallery, and has nothing worthy of note beyond a tablet to Sir Thomas Crewe of Steane, Northamptonshire, 1688.\nThere are three bells by Thomas Mears, 1803.\nThe plate consists of a flagon of 1801, 'the gift of Henry Capel to Feltham 1802,' two chalices of 1787, a paten of 1769, and a credence paten of 1777, all presented in 1802; there is also a large secular Georgian salver of 1769 presented in 1900.\nThe registers previous to 1634 were burnt in a fire in that year, and the earliest now existing are in two books in which those from 1634 onward are placed in irregular order; a third contains baptisms 1711 to 1806; a fourth marriages from 1754 to 1812 in printed forms, and a fifth burials 1754 and 1812.\nThe church is first mentioned in a 12th-century grant, when it was given to the Hospital of St. Giles in the Fields by Hawis, the wife of William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln, (fn. 100) the sister of Earl Baldwin de Redvers who gave other lands (v.s. rectory manor) in Feltham to the same hospital. (fn. 101) The gift of the church was confirmed by Henry II, and about 1221 by Eustace, Bishop of London, and again by Pope Alexander IV, and later by Edward I. (fn. 102) Before 1322 a vicarage was ordained and endowed, to which the warden and brethren continued to present until the Dissolution. (fn. 103)\nIn 1293, when the brethren of St. Giles were resisting the claim of the Bishop of London to exercise jurisdiction over the hospital and all its possessions, a special exception was made in the case of Feltham, and it was stated that as the church was quite outside London, yet in the diocese of London, the bishops had been wont to make visitation there, and apparently they continued to do so. (fn. 104)\nIn 1398 Richard II gave the Hospital of St. Giles, with the church of Feltham, to the abbey of St. Mary Graces by the Tower of London. (fn. 105) It is doubtful, however, if the grant took effect, and in either case, the custody of St. Giles was confirmed to the monastery of Burton Lazars by Henry V. (fn. 106)\nWhen the master of Burton ceded the rectory manor of Feltham to the king in 1537 the church was excepted from the grant, (fn. 107) and probably did not come to the Crown until the suppression of the monastery in 1539. (fn. 108) From this time onwards the advowson was held with the rectory manor (q.v.).\nOn the confiscation of Lord Cottington's estates in 1649 the advowson was assigned with the manor to John Bradshaw. (fn. 109) On receiving the tithes of Feltham he issued an address in 1651 to the inhabitants of the parish, stating that his anxiety 'touching spyrituals' had led him to provide and endow a minister for them without putting them to any charge. (fn. 110) He left a bequest in his will for maintaining a good minister at Feltham, (fn. 111) but all his property was confiscated under the Act of Attainder of May 1660, (fn. 112) and the advowson was restored to Lord Cottington's nephew and heir, Charles Cottington. (fn. 113)\nIt continued with the manor (q.v.) for over a century, (fn. 114) and thus was held by the Duke of St. Albans in 1802, (fn. 115) but it seems to have been separated from the manor early in the 19th century. The Rev. Joseph Morris held it from about 1816 to 1840, (fn. 116) after which it was held by the Rev. P. P. Bradfield until about 1850. It then came to Charles E. Jemmet, after whose death it was held by his executors. It now belongs to Mr. E. J. Wythes of Copped Hall, Essex, whose father married Catharine Sarah, daughter of Mr. C. E. Jemmet.\nThe Poor's Stock, which, as appeared from the table of benefaction, formerly consisted of payments made to the overseers of \u00a32 6s., \u00a32, and 12s. annually, and carried to the poor rates, has ceased to be paid.\nIn 1798 Robert Lowe by his will bequeathed \u00a3200 stock, the dividends to be applied in bread. The legacy is now represented by \u00a3202 13s. 4d. consols, producing \u00a35 1s. 4d. a year, which, together with certain fixed payments amounting to \u00a31 5s. a year, granted in 1774, is duly applied by the vicar.\nIn 1804 almshouses for poor and aged inhabitants were erected on a piece of land formerly part of Feltham Common, in pursuance of a resolution of the vestry, and endowed with \u00a3202 0s. 6d. consols. They are further maintained out of the income of the Poor's Land. See below.\nIn 1844 Mrs. Mary Anne Paine (as recorded on a tablet in the church) gave \u00a3100 consols to be laid out by the vicar and churchwardens in bread to be distributed among twenty aged poor persons during January, February, and March.\nIn 1852 William Paine by a codicil to his will bequeathed \u00a3179 12s. 2d. consols, one moiety of the dividends to be annually applied for benefit of a clothing club, the other moiety annually in January in purchase of clothes to be distributed amongst ten aged poor persons regularly attending services of the Church of England at the discretion of the vicar and churchwardens. The dividends, amounting to \u00a34 9s. 8d., are duly applied.\nIn 1867 John Ashford, by will, proved at London 10 April in that year, bequeathed a legacy, represented by \u00a3618 9s. 4d. consols, the dividends to be applied at Christmas time in the purchase of fuel, clothes, meat, or bread for distribution among old men and women. The dividends, amounting to \u00a315 9s., are distributed in meat and clothing under the title of the Ashford and Moore Charity.\nIn 1826 Thomas John Burgoyne by deed dated 9 December (enrolled) assigned to trustees a piece of ground in St. Pancras, with a messuage thereon for the residue of a term of twenty-one years, and subject as therein mentioned to accumulate the rents to form a fund, the income thereof to be applied towards the salary of the organist, repair of organ, and for the encouragement of psalmody, or of the church music. The trust fund consists of a sum of \u00a3404 0s. 2d. consols. The sum of stock has by an order of the Charity Commissioners been apportioned equally between this parish and the parish of Potton, Bedfordshire.\nThe several sums of stock are held by the official trustees.\nThe Poor's Land or Fuel Allotment, acqu red by an award made under the Inclosure Act, 40 Geo. III, consists of 30 a. 3 r., known as the 'Gibbet Ground,' awarded to the lord of the manor of Colkennington alias Kempton, and the vicar, churchwardens, and overseers of Feltham for providing fuel for the poor. In 1890 2 acres were purchased for \u00a3324, and in 1902 land with greenhouse and buildings erected thereon and five greenhouses at Bedfont were purchased for \u00a3425, provided by sale of stock, with the official trustees, leaving in their name a sum of \u00a3478 8s. 5d. consols.\nIn 1905-6 the gross rental of the real estate amounted to \u00a3217, and the dividends to \u00a311 19s. 4d.\nThe charity is administered under the provisions of a scheme of the Charity Commissioners of 18 July 1890, whereby the net income is applicable primarily in defraying the cost of supplying with coal deserving and necessitous poor residents in the parish, one-twelfth of the residue in defraying the expenses incidental to letting of lands in allotments, and one-twelfth of such residue in maintenance and repair of the almshouses above referred to, and for the benefit of the inmates.\n1.

        "raw_content": "Things to do in Lima, Peru\nPeru is an adventure paradise\nTropical jungles, ancient cities high in the mountains and beautiful beaches \u2013 Peru has it all.\nHomeland of the Incas, Peru is a treasure-trove of lost artefacts and spectacular mountaintop temples. You can trek through jungle, swim in high-altitude lakes and explore some of the most diverse landscapes on the planet.\nVisit the Sacred Valley and the Inca Trail, culminating at Machu Picchu deep within the Andes. Search jungles for local flora and fauna, before heading on a canoe ride down the Amazon river. Learn about the culture of the Incas at the enigmatic Nazca Lines, before travelling to Cuzco to see Incan influences on modern Peruvian life. Or dine in award-winning restaurants in Lima, Peru\u2019s sprawling capital city, where hip Peruvians know how to have a good time. There\u2019s so much to see in this fantastic country, you will find something new (or old) around every corner.\nThe capital city Lima is a huge metropolis with some fantastic night spots and great clubs. The fashionable neighbourhood of Miraflores has plenty of bars catering for its affluent residents and in-the-know travellers. Or venture into Barranco, the city\u2019s bohemian sector where the hipsters drink local craft beers and sip cocktails well into the night. You will surely find a place to call home.\nFood in Lima is considered some of the best in the world, because of the natural fusions that take place. Spanish influences blended with Peruvian staples, crossed with Chilean delicacies and so on. A must-see in the city is the Boulevard of Gastronomy in the Surquillo district \u2013 where Peruvian cuisine is flamboyantly on display. Don\u2019t miss the ceviche \u2013 a popular raw fish dish that is spiced with chilli.\nThe most famous trek in South America, the Inca Trail takes travellers through from Cuzco to Machu Picchu. Cuzco, the former Incan capital is a wonderful city with plenty of ruins to explore. But the real challenge is travelling the five days to Machu Picchu \u2013 2430-metres above sea level. Machu Picchu is a true wonder, sat atop a mountain range offering spectacular and humbling views of the Andes.\nKnown as the highest navigable lake in the world, sitting at 3800-metres, Lake Titicaca is a huge expanse of water high in the Andes \u2013 on the border with Bolvia. The water is bracingly cold, but worth a swim \u2013 who else has swam in a lake this high? The lake is home to a large and diverse selection of animals. The verdant island of Taquile is also worth a visit, sitting 45km east of Puno, the lake\u2019s largest city.\nA UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, the images formed from these lines can only be seen from above \u2013 from the air or from the foothills that surround them. The shapes vary from geometric shapes to stylised animals, such as monkeys, spiders, lizards and birds. The Nazca Lines are in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru, 400km from Lima. Whether these mysterious images are meant for the Nazca gods or for extra-terrestrial beings has been argued for decades.\nOver half of Peru is covered in dense rainforest, known locally as \u2018el infierno verde\u2019 (the green hell). Seemingly endless, the Amazon jungle is the most diverse environment on Earth, with thousands of plant species and hundreds of animals vying for your attention. Jaguars, anteaters and monkeys roam the forests, anacondas lie in wait among the swamps and ancient trees protrude through the canopy. A truly breathtaking place to explore \u2013 safely with a guide.",

        "raw_content": "UNGASS and the consequences of international drug policy\nJohn Hudak Thursday, April 7, 2016\nIn the coming weeks, the eyes of the drug policy community will be fixated on the United Nations. As the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on the World Drug Problem draws near, the future of international drug policy is at stake. Questions abound about whether UNGASS will push forward the status quo or be open to reform. Will recent changes to drug laws in states across the U.S., and in member countries like Uruguay, Canada, Colombia, Spain, Mexico, and others drive the international body to shift away from a powerfully prohibitionist position?\nOn April 7, Brookings\u2019 Foreign Policy and Governance Studies programs hosted a panel on this topic, exploring how UNGASS may (or may not) change the drug policy landscape, what America\u2019s role is in that discussion, and how the current state of drug policy throughout the world be impacted by the U.N. session. In many ways, UNGASS has flown under the radar outside of the wonky, scientific communities who are addicted to the nuance of drug policy. Despite that lack of attention, the current state of drug policy has serious implications and far reaching effects for everyone.\nMuch of the framework on international drug policy exists because of the forceful advocacy and insistence of the U.S. government on worldwide prohibition. That advocacy led to the most prominent international agreement on drugs: the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs signed in 1961. The Single Convention created not only an international legal structure, but became the bedrock of many national drug laws, like the Controlled Substances Act in the United States.\nThe manner in which international drug policy has been implemented has had profound consequences throughout the world and the fallout can be seen in a variety of areas. Here are a few:\nSetting the tone on drug policy\nThe U.S.-driven, U.N. drug policy prescribes a one size fits all policy around drugs for a variety of substances throughout the world. The challenge is that, for many strategic reasons, that stance forced other member nations to adopt it. This ensured that uniform policies, applied to a varied set of nations, resulted in dramatically different outcomes. Some nations had better experiences than others, but all experienced challenges.\nWhat\u2019s more, American leadership in this area made it more difficult for other nations to lobby for reforms on the international stage. For decades, nations were \u201cpolicy-takers.\u201d That is, they had little choice but to accept the international agreements, abide by the rules, and ultimately deal with whatever consequences may arise. Over time, however, that tacit acceptance of international order began to decay\u2014among member nations and even within individual American states. Now, the United Nations will convene a special session in an international environment whose drug policy has gone through a dramatic transformation over the past few years.\nThe U.S. government, a bystander to policy change\nDespite international prohibition, governments began to consider alternatives, including liberalizing drug laws in various ways. Efforts toward policy experimentation sought to push the envelope of the international status quo and make laws work better for the environment and context in which they would be enforced. Such changes caught on. Coffee shops in Amsterdam and cannabis clubs in Spain gave way to full-fledged medical marijuana programs in places like Canada and California and eventually adult-use legalization in four American states, the District of Columbia, and Uruguay.\nIn the process, the U.S. government could have met the other U.N. member states in the middle, guiding them away from complete liberalization and toward policies that are more acceptable. Instead, an absolutist commitment to the international status quo, even as American states \u201cgo rogue,\u201d leaves the U.S. as a policy bystander, watching as nations push the limits of international law\u2014and even defy it.\nBy doing so, the U.S. has largely passed on a strategic opportunity to work within the new and changing international context, allowing pre-existing policy biases and commitments to reign supreme.\nThat means that the U.S. government position is weakened with regard to international policy. It also means that the U.S. government looks more deeply hypocritical, turning an explicit blind eye to full-scale adult-use legalization in five of its jurisdictions and medical marijuana legalization in 24 of its jurisdictions. All the while, the government frowns upon abrogation of international law by other nations seeking to change their drug laws.\nA failure to acknowledge the international consequences of prohibition\nIn the 1960s, drug prohibition\u2014and particularly marijuana prohibition\u2014was widely seen as an effective policy to guard against dangerous drugs. Over time, it became clear that drug prohibition (as implemented) created very serious, negative consequences in many countries across the world. Prohibition did not stop drug production, sale, or use. Instead, it helped determine the types of individuals participating in the drug business. In Central and Southeast Asia and in Latin America, prohibition drove huge increases in cartel activity and violent crime. Murder rates skyrocketed in many countries and drugs were used to fund a variety of terrorist organizations.\nNations suffered deeply as a result of international drug policy, and in many cases, the response to such scenarios, was not a change in policy, but a doubling down on existing policy. That further deepened many of the crises that nations around the world were experiencing. Rather than achieving the intended goal\u2014an elimination of the drug trade and drug use\u2014U.N. policy intensified many of the challenges around the world.\nWe need an honest assessment of the status quo. That denial of the negative consequences of drug prohibition cost lives, threatened the legitimacy of democratically elected governments, and cost a significant amount of American aid and funding from foreign governments. In a significant way, the goals of the international drug war were not achieved and the response was not better policy.\nA failure to acknowledge the domestic consequences of prohibition\nThe U.S. felt consequences from drug prohibition, and particularly marijuana prohibition, as well. Governments across the United States\u2014federal, state, and local\u2014expended massive sums of money to combat drug use. Those efforts were admirable in part, but also devastating. The drug war introduced hundreds of thousands of young individuals, especially individuals of color, to the criminal justice system. It helped contribute to a society notorious for incarceration of individuals using drugs, rather than providing treatment for those using drugs. The costs in dollars, in human capital, and in foregone opportunity were staggering.\nLike in the international arena, the domestic arena offered government an opportunity to respond to policy failure with policy changes. However, for decades, the response was exactly the opposite: it was a continuation of existing policy despite evidence of both its harmful effects and its inability to achieve its intended goals. Politicians battled between fears of being labeled soft on drugs and acknowledging the realities of the fallout of drug policy. Few elected officials were willing to acknowledge such inconsistency\u2014for medical or recreational use of certain drugs. When they did, those officials were seen as fringe politicians. Congressmen like Stewart McKinney (R-CT), Barney Frank (D-MA), and Ron Paul (R-TX) were seen not as forward-thinking policymakers, but as fringe politicians peddling nonsensical policy.\nAll the while, calls for reform of drug laws grew louder. Particularly in the context of marijuana, calls for its use for medicinal purposes began to rise in prominence. Those efforts began with advocacy organizations. Soon, they became the talking points of more mainstream organizations focused on rights and equality. Eventually, states joined in the efforts, passing medical marijuana ballot initiatives and legislation\u2014all but begging the federal government to reconsider its stance on these issues. Often, the U.S. government hid behind its obligations under the Single Convention to avoid expanding research into illicit substances, even as scientific and medical exceptions to prohibition were explicitly spelled out in the U.N. treaty for marijuana and other drugs. In fact, it was not until this week\u201455 years after the signing of the single convention\u2014that a document was issued by the US government that offered an honest assessment of the government\u2019s obligations under the Single Convention and its opportunities afforded to it via medical and scientific exceptions.\nThe costs of the status quo in drug policy\nInternational drug policy, as implemented in member nations, has caused damage to a variety of communities. For decades, the US interpreted the single convention to prohibit a variety of activities, such as medical exceptions for marijuana use, despite clear language to the contrary. This hindered the scientific and medical communities from answering critical research questions. In the process it also harmed patients, doctors, scientists and others who actively sought a different path for such policy.\nLast month in a Brookings Essay entitled \u201cThe Medical Marijuana Mess,\u201d I profiled a patient and a cannabis business owner who have been mightily harmed by the US government\u2019s stance on marijuana policy. That position kept patients\u2014even children\u2014sick; barring them from the use of a substance that science has shown has real opportunity to offer medicinal value and therapeutic benefits. It complicated efforts to use marijuana for medical uses while operating within the bounds of international law.\nThe challenge for many is not only that the U.S. government creates obstacles to medical research and the provision of a substance that has been indicated as beneficial for the treatment of epilepsy, PTSD, chemotherapy side effects, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS-related conditions, muscle spasticity, pain management, and many other conditions. The government has been dishonest about how international law serves as a primary limitation.\nPerhaps the goal of international drug policy was to limit \u201cless desirable\u201d foreign nations from producing and distributing drugs. The result has been a system within the United States that has been harmful to many.\nAs the U.N. prepares to revisit its position on drug policy via the Single Convention, it has a real chance to look back at what the last 55 years have delivered to the international community. It needs not scrap the existing system wholly. But it can respond to the legitimate scientific, medical, social, and political changes since then and adjust international policy accordingly and responsibly.\nAnti-semitism on the rise",

        "title": "Special report: Building a positive relationship with your domestic helper.",
        "raw_content": "Build A Positive Relationship With Your Domestic Helper\nSpecial report: Building a positive relationship with your domestic helper\nIn Singapore\u2019s fast-moving, \u2018can do\u2019 economy, we often rely on the support of live-in domestic helpers to allow us the freedom to work. Foreign Domestic Workers (FDWs) are largely responsible for the smooth running of many a household \u2013 from daily chores and cooking, to the care of children and the elderly.\nThe number of FDWs has increased steadily over the years. As of June 2017, statistics from Ministry of Manpower (MOM) indicate there are 243,000 FDWs in Singapore. This is approximately 18% of the foreign workforce in Singapore.\nMounting concerns\nAs a result of living and working in a household, domestic helpers can build close relationships with their employers; with both sides committing to a relationship that can last many years. However, according to an extensive report by the International Labour Office, living where you work is not always easy:\n\u201cLive-in domestic workers on average work far more hours per day and per week than almost any other category of workers. In some cases, the isolation of domestic workers in the household has meant that they are expected to be available to work around the clock, with very little rest. \u201c\nThese findings support a milestone study (\u201cHOME Study\u201d) that was published in 2015 by Singapore\u2019s own Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME). Founded in 2004, HOME is a well-respected non-governmental organisation (NGO) dedicated to assisting foreign workers in Singapore. The HOME Study found that the foreign domestic workers (FDWs) they interviewed worked an average of 13 hours daily. Forty percent of the respondents did not have a weekly day off.\nWhilst the above isn\u2019t reflective of all employer-helper relationships, often, the best way to solve a problem is before it starts. This may seem counter intuitive, but when it comes to employing a domestic helper it makes perfect sense.\nPositive vs. Negative working relationship\nAccording to the HOME Study, a positive working relationship means the domestic helper:\nfeels like an important, integral part of the household\nhas normal standards of privacy\nhas her own room to sleep in\ngets sufficient rest\nreceives adequate nutritional and medical attention by the employer\nhas regular access to a stable social network\nhas regular contact, plus regular agreed time with family\nA negative relationship can be extremely detrimental to an FDW\u2019s psychological wellbeing, and can have far-reaching consequences for all involved. Causes of a negative relationship commonly include:\nlanguage related communication barriers\nabusive behaviour (especially verbal and physical) by the employer or employer\u2019s family\nrestrictions of communication by the employer or employer\u2019s family\nHelp for domestic helpers in Singapore\nAcross Singapore, many are striving for fairer working conditions for FDWs. Below are just some of the NGOs working together to help those in need and advocate better policies. As a concerned citizen, you can also contact the first 2 NGOs listed below for assistance if you believe an FDW may be in need of help.\nHumanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (Home) - has long been a champion for FDWs, offering training in vocational skills. It also runs the largest shelter for FDWs in Singapore and is an advocate for survivors of human trafficking and forced labour.\nTransient Workers Count Too - TWC2 - works on a number of different fronts, ranging from engaging with policy makers to frontline assistance for migrant workers in need, including running a food programme. It also acts as a lobby group and advocate for migrant workers' rights.\nArchdiocesan Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People (ACMI) \u2013 for over 18 years, ACMI has claimed to have helped more than 4,768 migrants with their challenges and issues, supplied more than 163,978 meals/ration packs for foreign workers and trained over 7,781 foreign domestic workers.\nFAST \u2013 Foreign Domestic Worker Association for Social Support and Training - has planned and organised many vocational skill courses and specialised and professional skill programmes. Every year, more than 20,000 training places are taken up by the FDWs. These courses included cooking, baking, pastry making, infant care, eldercare, foot reflexology, nursing care, computer skills, English, stress management, financial management and entrepreneurial skills.\nAnother organisation that may be of interest for employers is Aidha\nAidha - provides financial literacy programmes (for a fee) such as money management, computer literacy, leadership and entrepreneurial skills for foreign domestic workers and lower-income women.\nThe Ministry of Manpower offers a complete guide to everything you need for a successful working relationship with an FDW Please refer to their website for further information.",

Learn how to get the most out of your financial information.\nYou may think that because you have good bookkeeping and accounting processes in place and your cash flow is under control, you can sit back and relax. Unfortunately, you'd be wrong. This is the perfect time to do an in-depth analysis of where your business stands financially.\nA financial analysis should be undertaken on a fairly regular basis \u2013 perhaps quarterly - so you know where your business stands to make informed decisions and plans for the future. It\u2019s also necessary if you're looking for investors, for example.\nGetting the most out of your financial statements\nYour company's financial statements will be your first point of reference for the assessment. These include the income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in financial position and statement of changes in owners' equity.\nYou may decide to call a financial expert in to help you with this process, but even so, it's important that you understand the financials and what they reveal about your business. Don't be intimidated by all the information. Just take it one step at a time.\nIt's a good idea to have your financial recordkeeping done by a professional who knows about the labour and tax laws that need to be complied with. Once you have the statements, you can:\nIdentify any negative trends in your operations so you can remedy the situation before it becomes critical\nKeep an eye on your cash flow requirements to identify financing needs early\nMonitor important indicators of financial health (such as liquidity ratios, efficiency ratios, profitability ratios and solvency ratios)\nLook out for increases and decreases in wealth (specifically your or your stockholders' equity)\nMonitor your performance against your financial plan, if you have one\nThe financial statements that will help you determine the current status of your business are:\nThe income statement reveals the money you've make during the accounting period, the costs or expenses that were incurred, the difference between the costs and incomes for the period, or net profit (or loss)\nThe balance sheet is a statement of a company's relative wealth or financial position at a given point in time. It shows assets, liabilities and owners' equity\nThe position statement, also known as the \"statement of changes in financial position\" or \"sources and uses of cash,\" helps to explain how a company acquired its money and how it was spent\nThe statement of changes in owners' equity is used to bridge the gap between the amount of owners' equity at the beginning of the period and the amount of their equity at the end of the period\nYour financial statements are only the foundation for your analysis and they won\u2019t provide all the info you need. For example, if your statements show that outstanding accounts have gone down over the last few years, it either means that you're being more proactive about your debt collection process, or that you are writing off bad debt too soon.\nThis is why it's important to look further into some of the trends revealed in the statements and find the reasons behind them. If you decide to do a financial analysis of your business, you may decide to use the Financial Fitness Analysis on the Toolkit.",

I guess what I'm trying to say is, I should commend these kids for their effort \u2014 learning this song is hard, and somehow, a Canadian school got 1,500 of its students to perform \"When I'm Gone\" (aka \"Cups\" from the movie Pitch Perfect together, with cups, and break the world record for most people performing the song at once.\nAccording to The Huffington Post UK, a school in Drummondville, Quebec, Saint-Bernard school, got 1,500 students \u2014 from kindergarten to high school \u2014 and some staff members to participate in the stunt, and filmed it to break the world record. I'm not sure what the previous record was, but it's a safe bet that 1,500 was going above and beyond the amount of people who have previously performed the song together. So, it's pretty impressive.\nEmma Watson would probably be proud.\nDominic Boisclair on YouTube",

So we have moved the concert to the Hart Auditorium where people can dance on the floor.\u201d\nThe band creates a unique fusion of folk, trad, rock and Americana that represents all the different personalities and upbringing of the eight band members who hail from different regions of Scotland. 2017 saw the release of its single \u201cLive Forever\u201d that provided the soundtrack for the Scottish tourism promotional campaign \u201cWild About Argyll\u201d and saw the single hit No.1 in the iTunes World Music chart.\nBack on the remote Scottish island of Tiree in 2005, the raw, but contemporary trad quartet that formed Skerryvore, could have only dreamed that over the next decade they would become a multi-award winning act that was performing in over 25 countries worldwide.\nFrom those traditional roots, the band has developed, both in size and sound, to create a unique fusion of their traditional music and songs, with the urban sounds of rock, pop and funk.\nWith their outstanding musicianship and the mesmerizing voice of award-winning singer-songwriter Alec Dalglish, Skerryvore has become an international sensation, performing in cities such as Dubai, Beijing, Shanghai, Madrid, Munich and New York. The band\u2019s high-energy shows have also featured at many premier festivals, both at home and abroad.\nTickets for the Center Stage concert are $12 for the general public and $6 for BYU-Idaho students for either standing or chair sections.

        "raw_content": "Mayor, Local Elected Officials and Tenant Leaders Announce 20-Year Agreement with Blackstone and Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge to Protect Middle Class Housing at Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village\nThe Mayor of the City of New York, local elected officials and tenant leaders announced an agreement with Blackstone and Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge, a subsidiary of CDPQ, a leading Canadian pension fund manager,that will protect thousands of affordable apartments at Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village \u2013 one of the largest enclaves of moderate and middle income housing left in Manhattan. The agreement represents the largest number of affordable apartments ever preserved in a single City-led transaction in the history of New York City.\nThe 5,000 remaining below-market apartments at STPCV have been in danger of becoming permanently deregulated as soon as current tenants leave, changing the face of this community forever. Under the agreement, Blackstone and Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge \u2013 which are acquiring the complex from CW Capital \u2013 will ensure those rental apartments will remain affordable to moderate and middle-income families for at least the next 20 years. The plan will halt the loss of more than 300 affordable apartments each year and ensure this remains a home for nurses, teachers, first responders and working families.\nThe agreement also caps rents for \u201cRoberts\u201d tenants living in approximately 1,400 apartments, who are subject to significant increases in 2020, when the J-51 tax abatement expires. Under the agreement, rent increases on these units will be limited to five percent per year for five years, starting in 2020.\nAdditionally, Blackstone and Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge have publicly stated their intention to protect the community\u2019s open spaces and the unified nature of Peter Cooper and Stuyvesant Town, as well as to create an environment welcoming to long-term tenants seeking to put down roots. The agreement will also provide additional on-site services for STPCV\u2019s growing senior population including a licensed social worker, a staffed Community Center providing programming for seniors, regular medical screenings, wellness checks to look in on elderly tenants, and a dedicated staff member to assist seniors with completing SCRIE benefit applications.\nSTPCV will be held in a partnership comprised of Ivanho\u00e9 Cambridge and Blackstone\u2019s core real estate fund, Blackstone Property Partners, which makes long-term investments in high-quality, stable assets.\nDe Blasio Administration, City Council Member Corey Johnson and Hudson River Park Trust Announce Plan to Save Deteriorating Pier 40 and Create Affordable Housing for Working Families and Seniors\nAdministration officials announced a new proposal, negotiated with Council Member Corey Johnson, to save Hudson River Park\u2019s Pier 40 and deliver nearly 500 affordable apartments to the community, especially for seniors. The transaction, which will undergo a full public review process, would generate approximately $100 million to repair Pier 40 by transferring development rights to the nearby St. John\u2019s site, located across the West Side Highway from Pier 40.\nThe funds, subject to approval by the Hudson River Park Trust\u2019s Board of Directors after an independent appraisal process, will be used to make long-overdue repairs to the severely damaged and dilapidated Pier 40 \u2013 the park\u2019s largest pier. Portions of the aging pier have been closed in recent months out of concerns for public safety.\nAs part of the new proposal, the St. John\u2019s Center Partners \u2013 Westbrook Partners and Atlas Capital Group, LLC \u2013 have committed to ensuring that 30 percent of apartments built on their nearby site receiving the pier\u2019s development rights will be permanently affordable to low income and moderate income families, including an entire building of affordable homes for seniors. The plan also includes removing much of the existing overpass structure above Houston Street, creating an elevated publicly accessible open space as well as improving the access to Hudson River Park. The announcement comes as the NYC Department of City Planning (DCP) and the St. John\u2019s Center Partners started the environmental review process through the filing of an Environmental Assessment Statement and Draft Scope of Work for a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS.) This will include the rezoning of the St. John\u2019s Center site to allow residential units and the creation of a Hudson River Park special district in order to facilitate the transfer of development rights from the Park. The proposed development will be considered through a full public review via the city\u2019s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), which includes review by City Planning Commission, local Community Board, Borough President and City Council.\nPier 40\u2019s athletic fields are a community asset and host hundreds of thousands of individuals of all ages each year. But a recent report conducted by the engineering firm The Halcrow Group, revealed that 57 percent of Pier 40\u2019s 3,500 steel pilings are suffering severe deterioration, up from 38 percent five years ago. The roof is in such disrepair that sections of the income-generating garage and other areas have been closed. Pier 40 has generated roughly 40 percent of HRPT\u2019s operating revenue, largely through its parking facility. HRPT has lost in excess of $1 million in annual operating income due to closed portions of Pier 40.\nLosing the Pier would mean a permanent loss of the largest pier in Hudson River Park, a loss of beloved community ballfields and a loss of income to support the Park\u2019s operations. The Trust\u2019s offices and park operations hub would also have to be relocated. The sale of development rights outside of the Park\u2019s limits will generate the funds needed to save the Pier. HRPT is governed by the Hudson River Park Act and operates on a premise of financial self-sufficiency; it receives no public funding for its operations. That self-sufficient model is heavily reliant on the few piers designated for limited commercial uses in the Hudson River Park Act. If the funds and development are approved, HRPT will send out a RFP for firms who can design pile repairs shortly thereafter, with the goal of starting repairs in 2017.\nThe agreement mirrors the intent of State legislation signed into law in November 2013 in which the transfer of development rights from sites within the Park was authorized as a way of creating revenue for the Trust while avoiding the introduction of additional private uses within the Park. The current St. John\u2019s Center covers more than three city blocks from Charlton Street to Clarkson Street along the West Side Highway and has been underutilized for years. Designed by world-renown architect COOKFOX, the new proposal would create approximately 1.7 million square feet of floor space, of which approximately 1.3 million will be residential, and approximately 400,000 square feet will be commercial space. The current estimate for the purpose of evaluating the environmental impact of this project is that up to 1,586 residential units would be created. As part of the agreement, the St. John\u2019s Center Partners have committed to a requirement that 30 percent of all residential units will be dedicated to permanent affordable housing \u2013 including low income, moderate income, and senior housing. The project will include 5 buildings ranging in height from 240 to 430 feet. The development will also include a new approximately 14,200-square-foot outdoor publicly accessible open space on the existing platform spanning West Houston Street. The current overpass over Houston Street would be demolished and replaced with an elevated garden.\nThis development is projected to create 1,800 new construction jobs, 1,400 new non-construction jobs, and 1,500 direct full- and part-time jobs from the project\u2019s annual operation. The project\u2019s construction is estimated to inject $2.2 billion in the NYC economy and subsequently contribute $400 million annually from the project\u2019s operation. Finally, the project\u2019s construction will create approximately $126 million in new tax revenues for NYC and New York State and then $21.8 million from its annual operation. The entire project will be designed for extreme weather and storm resiliency, including state of the art flood mitigation. The new cellars will be designed to be waterproof and to resist the potential for the hydrostatic pressure of high water levels, while the ground floor will be designed with building integrated flood proofing methods. The project will also feature world-class architecture that responds to existing neighborhood character with an elegant design that maximizes light and air to view corridors and streetscape.\nMayor\u2019s Office for People with Disabilities Hosts 25th Annual National Disability Employment Awareness Month Awards, Activates Local Businesses, Nonprofits, City Agencies to Address Disability Unemployment\nIn honor of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, the Mayor\u2019s Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) and ACCES-VR hosted a celebration at Tweed Courthouse honoring New York City businesses that recruit, train, hire and promote individuals with disabilities. 2015 is both the 25th anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the landmark civil rights legislation for people with disabilities in the United States, and the 25th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month in New York City. To mark these milestones, MOPD Commissioner Victor Calise is presenting the Champion of Change Awards to five organizations who \u2013 through their innovation, vision, design, development and implementation \u2013 change the status quo for employment and career opportunities for people with disabilities.\nThis year\u2019s Champion of Change award recipients include:\nKen Davenport, Deaf West Theatre, Cody Lassen, and Hunter Arnold, who will receive the Champion of Change award for their commitment to bringing \u201cSpring Awakening\u201d to Broadway for all New Yorkers and for shining the light on actors of all abilities. Presenting the award is Carla Hoke-Miller, Director of Theatrical Partnerships for the Mayor\u2019s Office of Media and Entertainment.\nAdditional recipients of the Champions of Change Awards are LinkedIn, Montefiore Medical Center, JCPenney, and Alpha Workshops. Chris Neale of the Mayor\u2019s Office of Workforce Development and the Director of NYC Workforce Development Board will serve as master of ceremonies.\nThroughout the month of October, MOPD is hosting a series of discussions, community events and workshops designed to understand the hiring needs of local businesses and connect employers to a talent pool of New Yorkers with disabilities seeking increased employment, including the first convening of a Business Development Council. MOPD is also meeting with human resources professionals to discuss ways to recruit talent and establish talent pipelines, as well as colleges and universities to better understand the needs and employment goals of students and alums. MOPD has created a series of videos featuring New Yorkers with disabilities in the workplace, titled \u201cAt work, it\u2019s what I CAN do that matters.\u201d The videos are available on the MOPD website, social media, and soon in taxis and on NYC TV.\nUnemployment and under-employment rates for people with disabilities far exceed rates for able-bodied workers. For disabled graduates of four-year colleges in the United States, the employment rate for both men and women is 50.6 percent, as compared to an employment rate of approximately 90 percent for able-bodied Americans. When people with disabilities are employed, they are far more likely than their non-disabled peers to be employed part-time, and their median income is less than two-thirds the median wage for workers without disabilities for the same job. As a result of the 2008 recession, people with disabilities left the labor force five times faster than workers with disabilities, and employment for people with disabilities has not bounced back to its pre-recession count.\nTo further increase opportunity for New Yorkers with disabilities in the workforce, the Mayor\u2019s Office for People with Disabilities will continue to engage leaders in the business community in the recruiting, retention and promotion of employees with disabilities; introduce the concept of careers and employment to young people with disabilities and provide introductions to internships, mentoring, career exploration, and summer employment; create apprenticeship programs in growth industries; ensure that training curriculum, learning tools and technologies are accessible to all; educate individuals with disabilities and their families of the benefits of work and career; educate employers on the benefits of hiring this untapped talent pool; and make employment for people with disabilities a priority and include people with disabilities in the solutions. Through this work, the Mayor\u2019s Office for People with Disabilities is raising awareness among New York businesses and employers on issues related to disability employment, as well as celebrating the contributions of New Yorkers with disabilities as an integral part of the city\u2019s workforce.\nMayor de Blasio Signs K2 Legislation into Law to Criminalize Sale and Production\nMayor Bill de Blasio signed into law three new bills to curb the use of K2 and increase violations for those who seek to sell or manufacture this chemical mixture. The three bills are part of a multi-agency enforcement, education and prevention strategy against K2. This strategy aims to reduce the presence and use of K2 by aggressively cracking down on suppliers while offering supportive services and treatment to users in need. Sold in bodegas, synthetic cannabinoids are leaves sprayed with unpredictable and diverse chemical combinations that are either smoked or ingested. The drugs go by a variety of names, such as K2, Spice, Green Giant, and Caution, and produce adverse consequences ranging from agitation to vomiting to tremor seizures to hallucinations to violent behavior.\nThe new laws provide the City with additional tools and penalties to reduce the sale and manufacture of K2:\nIntro 917-A, sponsored by Speakers Ruben Wills, Melissa Mark-Viverito and Council Members Fernando Cabrera, Andrew Cohen, Vanessa Gibson, Antonio Reynoso, Ritchie Torres, and Reuben Wills, criminalizes the manufacture, possession with intent to sell, and sale of synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic phenethylamines. Selling K2 will be a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and up to $5,000 in fines.\nIntro 897, sponsored by Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and Council Member Daniel Garodnick, allows the City to apply public nuisance regulations to violations of the new criminal provision barring the sale of K2 \u2013 which gives the City additional enforcement tools.\nIntro 885-A, sponsored by Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, and Council Members Vanessa Gibson and Andrew Cohen, allows the City to revoke, suspend or refuse to renew a cigarette dealer license due to the sale of synthetic drugs or imitation synthetic drugs.\nThis legislation is part of the City\u2019s multi-agency strategy to use enforcement, education, and prevention efforts to reduce K2 in New York City. This strategy includes:\nReducing the supply of K2:\nNYPD seizures: Last week marked the fifth multi-agency operation in the past few months. Five locations were inspected and 9 bags of Extreme K2 were seized. Last month, the City, in partnership with the Drug Enforcement Administration, conducted searches of five processing facilities that resulted in the seizure of about $17.5 million worth of K2 product, ingredients and paraphernalia \u2013 including at least 200 kilograms of synthetic compounds used to make K2, and 150,000 packets of finished K2. Ten individuals were indicted in connection with the drug ring and federal charges are being pursued by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office. More than 80 stores and bodegas throughout New York City were inspected as part of the enforcement action.\nEnforcement awareness: Multi-agency enforcement actions will continue, and the results of these actions will be shared widely with bodega owners and cigarette distributors to increase awareness of the consequences of selling K2.\nLabeling violations: The Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) has issued, and will continue to pursue, violations for inadequate and misleading labeling. Consequences for retailers selling K2 include the assessment of fines and the potential suspension or revocation of licenses issued by the agency, such as cigarette retail dealer licenses.\nAdditional legal tools: The City is working with State representatives on State legislation to complement the new City laws just signed.\nReducing the demand for K2:\nPublic awareness campaign: DCA and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene are spearheading a comprehensive public awareness campaign to educate users and potential users about the harms of using K2 and dispel the many myths surrounding the marketing of K2 as legal and safe.\nEducation summit: Building off a successful model recently used in Houston, New York City will hold a summit on K2 at Brooklyn Law School on November 16th that will address the harmful effects of its use and best practices for treating users both from a public safety and public health perspective. This summit will provide judges, first responders, law enforcement and public health professionals with resources to effectively implement the new criminal provision barring the sale of K2, connect users to treatment in the short-term, and ensure that users are connected to stabilizing services in the long-term.\nHealth advisories: The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has released a third health advisory on synthetic cannabinoids, available here.\nEnsuring effectiveness:\nEmergency room monitoring: City health agencies are monitoring cannabinoid-related emergency department visits daily and are developing a standardized treatment protocol and management plan for people who present with K2 use in emergency rooms.\nTracking strategies: The City will track enforcement strategies to ensure that sales of the drug cease and ensure that public health resources are rapidly deployed to meet emergent user health needs.\nSince January 2015, there have been more than 4,500 synthetic cannabinoid-related emergency department visits in New York City, with more than 1,200 emergency department visits occurring in July. Males account for approximately 90 percent of these emergency room visits. Patients have a median age of 37 and are disproportionately residents of shelters and individuals with a psychiatric illness. Nearly all \u2013 99 percent \u2013 of patients are age 18 and older. Led by the Mayor\u2019s Office of Criminal Justice, the multi-agency effort includes representatives from the New York Police Department, the Department of Consumer Affairs, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Health and Hospitals Corporation, the Law Department, the Department of Homeless Services, the Sheriff, and the Attorney General\u2019s office.\nMayor de Blasio Announces \u201cCaring Neighborhoods\u201d to Bring Primary Care to Underserved Areas Across the City\nMayor Bill de Blasio announced the Caring Neighborhoods initiative, a transformative new program that will significantly increase primary care access for thousands of residents in underserved neighborhoods across New York City. Spearheaded by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation and the New York City Economic Development Corporation, Caring Neighborhoods builds primary care capacity in neighborhoods where for decades over a million New Yorkers have faced limited options for convenient and affordable health care services. Over 100,000 new patients will be able to receive care in their own neighborhoods thanks to the community health centers expanded through Caring Neighborhoods \u2013 part of the Administration\u2019s plan to expand access to primary care health and provide high-quality and comprehensive healthcare services to any city resident, regardless of ability to pay. The City committed $20 million over two years in its FY16 budget to cover pre-development and start-up operating costs for new health centers.\nBoth NYCEDC and HHC\u2019s expansion efforts target high-need neighborhoods throughout the City that lack adequate access to medical care. These neighborhoods were determined through a City-commissioned analysis conducted by the Community Health Care Association of New York State, with supplemental areas identified at the recommendation of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. CHCANYS is releasing an update to its 2013 report, titled Expanding Sustainable Community Health Centers in New York City, which assesses all city neighborhoods for their need for additional primary care services, and factors contributing to the sustainability of new clinics.\nHHC Community Health Centers\nThe Caring Neighborhoods Initiative will provide direct support for both the creation of five new HHC primary care centers in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island, and to expand services at six existing HHC primary care centers in high-need neighborhoods in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. New and expanded services will start in mid-2016 and will be completed by end of 2017. The City is providing $12 million in capital support.\nThe new and expanded access to healthcare services in high-need neighborhoods also contribute to Dr. Raju\u2019s plan, announced in April, to bring financial stability to HHC in part by increasing the number of New Yorkers it serves to 2 million annually.\nThe expansion of primary care availability through new and expanded HHC health centers also directly supports HHC\u2019s long-term financial goal of stabilizing its budget in future Fiscal Years by expanding its patient base and improving patient retention through better access to care and improved patient experience at HHC facilities. HHC will seek approval for the new centers to become part of HHC\u2019s Gotham Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Look-Alike Gotham Health, which currently comprises 40 primary care delivery sites serving more than 140,000 New Yorkers.\nNYCEDC\u2019s Community Health Center Expansion Program\nAs part of Caring Neighborhood\u2019s strategic approach to expanding primary care, NYCEDC\u2019s Community Health Center Expansion Program will provide a range of support to FQHCs and FQHC Look-Alikes (collectively health centers). This Program will support the over 30 non-profit health centers that already provide high-quality primary care and are looking to expand their services in the highest need neighborhoods. The Program seeks to accelerate the creation of these health centers by making available on a competitive basis up to $8 million in grants, real estate assistance to help identify new health center sites in underserved neighborhoods including potentially City-affiliated properties, and one-on-one technical assistance, among other benefits.\nWednesday, NYCEDC released two Requests for Proposals open to FQHCs and FQHC Look-Alikes in New York City. The two RFPs address the diverse needs of health centers at different stages of development, and will provide selected health centers with pre-development and operating support on a competitive basis. Grants and assistance are expected to be distributed starting in March 2016, with construction occurring throughout 2016 and 2017. Beginning in January 2016, NYCEDC will also host a training series open to all health centers in the city, regardless of their interest in the competitive application process.\nThis effort is the latest in NYCEDC\u2019s portfolio of programs to generate shared prosperity for all New Yorkers. As the City\u2019s primary engine for economic growth, NYCEDC is committed to strengthening neighborhoods and growing quality jobs by building community assets and ensuring that those community assets \u2013 like community health centers \u2013 have the resources to scale up. NYCEDC\u2019s Healthcare Desk leads healthcare enterprises to more equitable and profitable business models for both workers and employers through programs addressing health technology adoption, payment reform, real estate transformation, and health inequities.\nThe high-need neighborhoods targeted by Caring Neighborhoods include:\n6 areas in the Bronx (Fordham-Bronx Park, Pelham-Throgs Neck, Crotona-Tremont, High Bridge-Morrisania, Hunts Point-Mott Haven, Northeast Bronx)\n8 areas in Brooklyn (Northwest Brooklyn, Bedford Stuyvesant-Crown Heights, East New York, Sunset Park, Borough Park, East Flatbush-Flatbush, Coney Island-Sheepshead Bay, Williamsburg-Bushwick)\n4 areas in Manhattan (Washington Heights-Inwood, Central Harlem-Morningside Heights, East Harlem, Union Square-Lower East Side)\n4 areas in Queens (Long Island-Astoria, West Queens, Flushing-Clearview, Jamaica)\n3 areas in Staten Island (Port Richmond, Stapleton and St. George, South Shore)\nCaring Neighborhoods is part of the Administration\u2019s commitment to reduce health disparities, and complements DOHMH\u2019s initiative to support the integration of public health and primary care in high-need neighborhoods by revitalizing its underutilized buildings to co-locate community-based organizations, providers of medical, dental and mental health services. It also complements the Administration\u2019s work to improve healthcare access for immigrant New Yorkers, as recently detailed in a report by the Mayor\u2019s Task Force on Immigrant Health Care Access. As noted in the report, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are critical healthcare safety-net providers, delivering culturally competent primary care in community-based settings in neighborhoods with high concentrations of immigrant New Yorkers.\nThe healthcare sector is the leading employer in New York City, providing approximately 515,500 jobs, approximately 18,500 of which were created over the last year. In 2015, the federal government awarded $8.6 million in New Access Point annual operating grant funding for FQHCs in New York City; the de Blasio administration provided letters of support for many of these applicants.\nMayor de Blasio Calls for Change in State Law to Better Ensure Dangerous Defendants are Detained\nMayor de Blasio announced he is calling for two key changes to state law that would provide judges with more tools to ensure that dangerous defendants are not released to the street. The Mayor called for a change in state law to allow judges to consider public safety risk in determining an individual\u2019s bail amount. Currently, New York State is one of three states that does not allow judges to consider dangerousness when setting bail. The Mayor also called for public safety risk and flight risks to be considered when a judge determines whether an individual is eligible for a diversion program, neither of which is currently required for consideration.\nCurrently, judges can only consider risk of flight when setting bail. State law states that the court \u201cmust consider the kind and degree of control or restriction that is necessary to secure his court attendance when required.\u201d The Mayor is calling for the addition of language to the statute requiring a judge to consider whether a defendant poses a danger to the community when deciding how much bail is set. This would allow judges to make more informed and accurate decisions about who should be detained and released, and allow judges to see results of validated risk-assessment tools that have been shown in other states to predict public safety risk accurately.\nTyrone Howard, the individual being held responsible for killing a New York City police officer, paid his bail, which was set at $35,000. Howard had an extensive history of drug felonies and misdemeanors. The judge could have made a different bail decision if he were able to consider Howard\u2019s extensive criminal history as an element of dangerousness. Criminal history is a major component of validated risk assessment tools that have been shown in other jurisdictions to accurately predict whether a defendant will re-offend if released.\nThe Mayor is also calling for the addition of dangerousness and risk of flight to the state judicial diversion statute. Current law does not require judges to consider either of these factors. Rather, current law that governs who is eligible for diversion requires the exclusion of certain defendants based on current charge and prior offenses and allows a judge to consider any relevant evidence\u2014without requiring judges to consider dangerousness or risk of flight. The Mayor, Manhattan DA and Speaker are calling for a stronger law that requires judges to consider these two factors.\nToday\u2019s call for a change to state law builds upon New York City\u2019s history of leading the nation in pre-trial justice reform. Earlier this month, the administration launched The Bail Lab, an initiative that aims to solve the problems that plague the current money bail system in the near term, while the City works to change state law. The City is also working to avoid unnecessary detention on bail for low-risk people by expanding supervised release citywide, supporting Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito\u2019s creation of a citywide bail fund, and working with the Council to create eligibility criteria to ensure this valuable program is safely administered. And the de Blasio administration\u2019s Justice Reboot initiative has made significant progress in cutting case delay and ensuring that felony cases move efficiently through the courts. The strategy announced today advances the administration\u2019s work to ensure that all components of the City\u2019s pre-trial system effectively protects public safety and increase fairness.\nMayor de Blasio: City of New York Launches #AutumnInNYC Contest for @nycgov Instagram Handle\nIn honor of the arrival of autumn, the de Blasio administration announced that the City\u2019s official Instagram channel will host another online contest encouraging New Yorkers to submit photos of the city. Following in the tradition of the first #SignsOfSpringNYC contest this past spring, winners of #AutumnInNYC will serve as Instagram ambassadors on @nycgov, the official Instagram account of New York City government. The #AutumnInNYC contest will once again engage New Yorkers from across the five boroughs, giving voice to a diverse range of perspectives and photographic styles on the City\u2019s official Instagram account. Submissions will be accepted via a web formhosted on nyc.gov, and one ambassador from each borough will be selected by a panel of judges. In order to be eligible, photos will need to be submitted in a square format by end of the day on November 1. The judging and vetting period will take place from November 2 to November 7.\nThe six judges who will select the final ambassadors are:\nChirlane McCray, First Lady of New York City\nNisha Agarwal, Commissioner of the Mayor\u2019s Office of Immigrant Affairs\nMitchell Silver, Commissioner of the Department of Parks and Recreation\nPenny Abeywardena, Commissioner of the Mayor\u2019s Office of International Affairs\nRob Bennett, Director of Creative Communications, City of New York\nMarty Markowitz, Vice President of Borough Promotion and Engagement, NYC & Company\nWinners will be announced on November 14 and the winning photos will be showcased on the @nycgov Instagram and Medium channels, as well as other City social media accounts. Ambassadors will serve through Spring 2015, and will also have special access to InstaMeets coordinated by the City.\nPublic Advocate Tish James and Governor Cuomo Announce New Measures to Protect Foster Children\nGovernor Andrew M. Cuomo, New York City Public Advocate Letitia James, and child plaintiffs announced a series of measures being taken by the state to better protect foster children. The measures are the result of a recently settled class action alleging harm to children in New York City\u2019s foster care system.\nThe city\u2019s foster care system is administered by the New York City Administration for Children\u2019s Services (ACS) and overseen by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). As a result of this settlement, OCFS will retain a monitor to work with the Public Advocate\u2019s Office and the plaintiffs to review and evaluate the city\u2019s foster care system. OCFS will also require ACS to retain a research expert, who will conduct annual case record reviews. Additional settlement details are included below.\nThe steps outlined in the agreement include:\nCommitment to reform: Under the agreement, New York State and the Plaintiffs all agree that children in the New York City foster care system should be protected from maltreatment, provided with permanent homes and families within a reasonable time, and provided with foster placements and services that promote their well-being. The agreement aims to effectuate these goals.\nAppointment of a Monitor: A Monitor, to be paid for by the State, will be retained for at least three years, and potentially beyond, to support compliance with relevant federal and State laws, regulations and policies. The monitor will produce bi-annual reports evaluating (a) the foster care placement process in New York City, (b) any potential causes of maltreatment of children in foster care in New York City and ways to lower the rate of such maltreatment, (c) the availability and appropriateness of services in the foster care system, and (d) the recruitment of an appropriate and sufficient array of placements, including potential permanent families, for such children.\nAppointment of a NYC Research Expert: A Research Expert will be retained by ACS with the State and the Plaintiffs\u2019 approval, for at least two years, and potentially beyond, to perform confidential case record reviews of children in the custody of ACS to determine compliance with relevant federal and State laws, regulations and policies relating to safety, permanency and well-being of foster children.\nImplementation of Corrective Action Plans: If the Monitor or the Research Expert finds there is any substantial non-compliance with applicable laws, regulations or policies, either OCFS directly or ACS under OCFS\u2019 oversight, will determine whether any corrective action is necessary and, if so, require the implementation of corrective action plans. Plaintiffs will have an opportunity to comment on any proposed corrective action plans that are developed as a result of the Monitor\u2019s quarterly reports or the Research Expert\u2019s biannual aggregate reports.\nThe plaintiffs can return to court to enforce the settlement\u2019s terms. The City of New York and ACS are not parties to the agreement, and that portion of the lawsuit will move forward in Court.\nBronx Borough President Diaz and PACE to Host Gifted & Talented Open House\nFor the second year in a row, the Office of Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. and PACE (Parents\u2019 Alliance for Citywide Education) will co-host a Gifted & Talented Education Open House providing information about New York City\u2019s Citywide Gifted & Talented (G&T) elementary schools, Bronx district G&T programs and other accelerated education options. The groups will hold two events on Thursday, October 29th at the Bronx Library Center \u2013 one at 10-11:30 a.m. and another at 6-7p.m.\nEach event features drop-in sessions related to G&T education as well as a presentation on the public school G&T testing process by expert consultants. PACE and Bronx Borough President representatives will be on hand, and current parents at Citywide G&T schools and district G&T programs will be available for informal Q&A. Representatives from other local educational groups will provide information and a representative from the NYC Department of Education will also be available to answer questions specific to the public school G&T process.\nIn addition to gathering information on educational options, attendees can sign up on site for the free G&T test offered by the DOE.\nAmong the five boroughs of New York City, Bronx children are tested at the lowest rate per capita, according to DOE statistics. This can change with better outreach to all Bronx communities. In fact, after last year\u2019s Open House at which scores of parents signed up for the G&T test on site, the number of Bronx children taking the G&T test for entry to Kindergarten increased by over 13 percent whereas in other boroughs the testing rate stayed flat or even decreased. The PACE group believes if more parents have their children tested, the demand for accelerated programs will grow in The Bronx.\nBronx Borough President Diaz: Unemployment Drops to 6.6%\nBronx job statistics continued to improve this month, according to the latest numbers from the New York State Department of Labor.\nThe unemployment rate in The Bronx fell to 6.6 percent in September 2015, down from 7.3 percent in August 2015 and 8.7 percent in September 2014. Those same statistics show that the total number of Bronxites who are employed is 565.7 thousand, up from 468.8 thousand in May 2009 when Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. first took office, meaning that nearly 100,000 more borough residents have jobs than did roughly six years ago.\n\u201cOur borough is in the midst of a tremendous revival, and these numbers bear that out,\u201d said Borough President Diaz. \u201cMore Bronxites are employed than at any point since they began keeping such statistics. We are bringing new businesses to our borough, helping our existing businesses expand, and fostering the right climate for growth and development. Those efforts are having a positive effect on our borough and its population, as is clear from these job numbers.\u201d\nBrooklyn Borough President Adams Calls for Greater City Access to Safe Spaces for Youth Sports Play\nBrooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams led hundreds of young athletes in their sports gear and team uniforms, along with their parents and coaches, in a march across the Brooklyn Bridge as he called for greater city access to safe spaces for play. Representatives of the dozens of local teams participating in the effort, comprising over twenty different athletic disciplines, gathered at a rally prior to the step-off, where they spoke about the positive impact that youth sports has had on addressing childhood obesity, gang violence, and social development issues; Borough President Adams addressed his own experience growing up with youth sports and the value it had for him.\nBorough President Adams renewed his call for the New York City Department of Education (DOE) to open up public schools to all groups seeking to use the space for positive youth and community development outside of school hours. He noted that New York City has 1454 public school buildings, with 441 in the borough of Brooklyn alone, and that the structures are left vacant or are unreachable during non-school hours due to schools charging hundreds of dollars an hour to utilize space.\nFollowing the march, participants gathered at a youth sports expo at Brooklyn Borough Hall, offering resources for families and giveaways for local athletic events; the sponsors of the Brooklyn Youth Sports Walk and Expo were Global Mixed Gender Basketball, Modell\u2019s Sporting Goods, and Target.\nDepartment of Education: First \u201cNet-Zero\u201d Energy School Named after Former DOE Deputy Chancellor Grimm\nSchools Chancellor Carmen Fari\u00f1a joined students, families, staff and local officials to dedicate the city\u2019s new \u201cnet-zero\u201d energy school to the late Kathleen Grimm, a former Deputy Chancellor at the DOE whose vision and dedication helped make the school a reality. The Kathleen Grimm School of Leadership and Sustainability at Sandy Ground, or PS 62, is housed in a brand-new, uniquely designed 68,000-square-foot building that will generate energy with over 2,000 photovoltaic solar panels, a wind turbine, heating and cooling systems powered by underground geothermal wells and a host of other clean energy features.\nThe school building serves as a hands-on learning laboratory for its students, allowing educators to integrate their surroundings into lessons about sustainability, innovation and the importance of preserving and protecting our environment. Some of the building\u2019s features, such as its energy use dashboards, can be woven directly into the science, math and even writing curricula. With skylights and reflective ceiling panels angled to maximize natural light, motion-sensor energy-efficient indoor lighting, as well as a specially designed precast concrete building envelope which acts as a rain screen, the school uses 50 percent less energy than a typical school building.\nThis building is designed to produce as much energy as it consumes and will be the first \u201cnet-zero\u201d school east of the Mississippi River. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, the building is oriented on its 3.5-acre property to maximize exposure to the sun, with its south fa\u00e7ade sloped at 70 degrees. Daylight will provide 90 percent of the light on the south side of the building, 60 percent on the north side and up to 75 percent to interior spaces such as the gymnasium and cafeteria. The green roof will reduce heat and underground tanks will collect precipitation and prevent runoff.\nHealth Department Launches 2015 Flu Shot Awareness Campaign: \u201cAvoid the: Pain. Fever. Chills. Misery. Get the Flu Vaccine Today\u201d\nThe Health Department launched a public awareness campaign reminding New Yorkers that the flu vaccination is the best protection against \u201cPain. Fever. Chills. Misery.\u201d The campaign will feature four English and two Spanish ads, which will run in subway cars. The campaign will also have a social media presence. Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory viral illness that can cause significant illness and death. More New Yorkers die from influenza and pneumonia than from any other infection. In 2013, 2,472 New Yorkers died from influenza and pneumonia; 80%-90% of influenza-related deaths are among persons aged 65 years and older. Influenza activity is usually at its peak January through March, but it can start as early as November. It is important to get vaccinated now \u2013 before influenza season starts. The NYC Health Department is also producing an informational \u2018Influenza Health Bulletin\u2019 for the public in English and 11 other languages. The Health Bulletin and other influenza information can be found by visiting nyc.gov and searching for \u2018health bulletins.\u2019\nWhile annual influenza vaccination is recommended for all people aged 6 months and older, it is especially recommended for those at risk of developing influenza-related complications. Those at risk include children under 5, pregnant women, adults aged 65 and older, and people with chronic health conditions, such as heart, lung, and kidney disease, diabetes, morbid obesity and those who are immune compromised. Health care workers and other people who live or work with people at high risk of influenza complications, also need a flu vaccine to avoid infecting others.\nFlu vaccine can help prevent pain and misery of influenza. Flu vaccine has been shown to reduce the risk of hospitalizations among several high-risk groups, including persons with diabetes, chronic lung disease and in those over 50 years of age. Pregnant women have a four-fold higher risk of being hospitalized if they get the flu. A flu vaccine can protect them and their infant by passing on protective antibodies to their infants until they can get their own vaccine at 6 months. Flu vaccine coverage was 44% for persons aged 18 years and older. Coverage was lower for younger adults: 35% for persons aged 18-49 years, 50% for persons aged 50-64 years and 64% for persons aged 65 years and older. Vaccination coverage differed by race and ethnicity for older New Yorkers. Among New Yorkers aged 65 and older, there are disparities in the prevalence of flu vaccinations between Black non-Hispanics (53%) compared with White non-Hispanics (69%) and Hispanics (68%), according to the 2014 Community Health Survey.\nTo help prevent the spread of infection in the community and among children under 5 in the child care setting, the Board of Health approved an amendment in December 2013 requiring children between 6 months and 5 years of age enrolled in city-licensed childcares, preschools, Head Start or pre-Kindergarten programs to receive an annual influenza vaccination by December 31st each year.\nInfluenza vaccination coverage for all children in New York City remains below the national coverage goal of 70 percent. Based on Citywide Immunization Registry data, for last season, influenza vaccination coverage rates for children in New York City with at least one dose was:\nAged 6 to 59 month-olds- 67%\nAged 5 to 8 year-olds- 50%\nAged 9 to18 year olds- 34%\nHPD, HDC & WIN Celebrate Groundbreaking of $80 Million Supportive and Affordable Housing Development in Brooklyn\nWin, one of the largest nonprofits serving homeless women and their families in New York City, was joined by New York City\u2019s Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Commissioner Vicki Been, New York City Housing Development Corporation (HDC) President Gary Rodney, and partners to break ground on a new affordable housing development in Brooklyn\u2019s Brownsville neighborhood.\nThe Win Glenmore development is financed under Mayor Bill de Blasio\u2019s Housing New York: A Five-Borough, 10-Year Housing Plan. The most comprehensive affordable housing plan in the City\u2019s history and largest municipal housing plan in the nation, its goal is to create and preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing for very low- and middle income families to help address New York City\u2019s affordability crisis. The Win Glenmore, the largest permanent supportive housing initiative in Win\u2019s history, will provide 160 safe, clean, and permanent residential apartments to some of New York\u2019s most vulnerable families. The development will be a six-story mixed-use building containing approximately 176,923-square-feet. The unit distribution will include 12 studios, 67 one-bedroom apartments, 68 two-bedroom apartments and 13 three-bedroom apartments. There will be an additional two-bedroom apartment for an onsite superintendent. The development will also feature 24 onsite parking spaces, 3,158-square-feet of retail space and 3,179-square-feet of community space.\nThe $80 million supportive and affordable housing development will primarily serve 96 chronically homeless families or families at serious risk of becoming chronically homeless, in which the head of the household suffers from a substance abuse disorder, a disabling medical condition or HIV/AIDS. This development will benefit from project-based section 8, allowing residents to pay only 30 percent of their monthly income towards rent. The remaining 64 units will be affordable to low-income individuals and families with annual incomes no more than $36,300 for an individual and $46,620 for a family of three. Income levels are calculated annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The above incomes are set according to HUD\u2019s 2015 calculations.\nAn innovative mix of government and private sector funders have partnered with Win to support this project, including HDC, HPD, the New York State Homeless Housing and Assistance Program (HHAP) under the Office of Temporary Disability Assistance (OTDA), the office of Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York City Office of Environmental Remediation (OER), Richman Housing Capital, Bank of America, the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), and Glenmore LLC. Construction financing sources include $40.1 million in tax-exempt bonds and $8.85 million in corporate subsidy from HDC. HPD provided approximately $11.9 million in City Capital and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits. The Brooklyn Borough President\u2019s office contributed $500,000 in Reso A. Approximately $5.2 million was contributed through the New York State Homeless Housing Assistance Program and the New York City Office of Environmental Remediation issued $40,000 for light remediation work. Additionally, Bank of America provided a loan of $4 million. The Richman Group is the tax credit syndicator for this project.\nThe affordable housing units not filled by special needs referral will be through NYC Housing Connect, an Open Lottery System to ensure fair and equitable distribution of housing to income-eligible applicants. Marketing of the apartments and the application process for the lottery typically begins when construction is approximately 70 percent complete. For more information regarding the affordable housing lottery process or if you would like to receive an e-mail when HPD updates its available apartment and home website listings for City-subsidized housing in the five boroughs, please visit the \u2018Find Housing\u2019 page under the \u2018Renter\u2019 tab at www.nyc.gov/hpd. Current housing lotteries are also available at www.nyc.gov/housingconnect. Applicants may submit either a paper application or an electronic application. Duplicate applications will be disqualified.\nCity Council Public Hearing Schedule: Week of October 26 \u2013 October 30",

        "title": "St. Isidore of Seville - Encyclopedia Volume - Catholic Encyclopedia - Catholic Online",
        "raw_content": "Isidore was the son of Severianus and Theodora. His elder brother Leander was his immediate predecessor in the Metropolitan See of Seville ; whilst a younger brother St. Fulgentius presided over the Bishopric of Astigi. His sister Florentina was a nun, and is said to have ruled over forty convents and one thousand religious.\nBook four, treats of medicine and libraries ;\nbook five, of law and chronology ;\nbook eleven, of man ;\nbook twelve, of beasts and birds ;\nbook fourteen, of physical geography ;\nSimilar in its general character to the \"Etymologiae\" is a work entitled \"Libri duo differentiarum\". The two books of which it is composed are entitled respectively, \"De differentiis verborum\" and \"De differentiis rerum\". The former is a dictionary of synonyms, treating of the differences of words with considerable erudition, and not a little ingenuity; the latter an exposition of theological and ascetical ideas, dealing in particular with the, Trinity and with the Divine and human nature of Christ. It suggests, and probably was inspired by, a similar work of Cato's, It is supplementary to the first two books of the \"Etymologiae\". The \"Synonyma\", or, as it is sometimes called on account of its peculiar treatment, \"Liber lamentationum\", is in a manner illustrative of the first book of the \"Differentiae\". It is cast in the form of a dialogue between Man and Reason. The general burden of the dialogue is that Man mourns the condition to which he has been reduced through sin, and Reason comforts him with the knowledge of how he may still realize eternal happiness. The second part of this work consists of a dissertation on vice and virtue. The \"De natura rerum\" a manual of elementary physics, was composed at the request of King Sisebut, to whom it is dedicated. It treats of astronomy, geography, and miscellanea. It is one of Isidore's best known books and enjoyed a wide popularity during the Middle Ages . The authenticity of \"De ordine creaturarum\" has been questioned by some critics, though apparently without good reason. Ar\u00e9valo unhesitatingly attributes it to Isidore. It deals with various spiritual and physical questions, such as the Trinity, the consequences of sin, eternity, the ocean, the heavens, and the celestial bodies.\nThe subjects of history and biography are represented by three important works. Of these the first, \"Chronicon\", is a universal chronicle. In its preface Isidore acknowledges, his indebtedness to Julius Africanus ; to St. Jerome's rendering of Eusebius ; and to Victor of Tunnuna. The \"Historia de regibus Gothorum, Wandalorum, et Suevorum\" concerns itself chiefly with the Gothic kings whose conquests and government deeply influenced the civilization of Spain. The history of the Vandals and the Suevi is treated in two short appendixes. This work is regarded as the chief authority on Gothic history in the West. It contains the interesting statement that the Goths descended from Gog and Magog. Like the other Historical writings of Isidore, it is largely based on earlier works of history, of which it is a compendium- It has come down to us in two recensions, one of which ends at the death of Sisebut (621), and the other continues to the fifth year of the reign of Swintila, his successor. \"De viris illustribus\" is a work of Christian biography and constitutes a most interesting chapter in the literature of patrology. To the number of illustrious writers mentioned therein Braulio added the name of Isidore himself. A short appendix containing a list of Spanish theologians was added by Braulio's disciple, Ildephonsus of Toledo. It is the continuation of the work of Gennadius, a Semipelagian priest of Marseilles, who wrote between 467 and 480. This work of Gennadius was in turn, but the continuation of the work of St. Jerome .\n\"In libros Veteris et Novi Testamenti prooemia\", as its name implies, is a general introduction to the Scriptures, with special introductions for particular books in the Old and New Testament .\n\"Secretorum expositiones sacramentorum, seu quaestiones in Vetus Testamentum\" is a mystical rendering of the Old Testament books, of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Josue, Judges, Kings, Esdras, and Machabees. It is based on the writings of the early Fathers of the Church .\n\"Regula monachorum\" is a manner of life prescribed for monks, and also deals in a general way with the monastic state. The writer furnishes abundant proof of the true Christian democracy of the religious life by providing for the admission of men of every rank and station of life. Not even slaves were debarred. \" God \", he said, \"has made no difference between the soul of the slave and that of the freedman.\" He insists that in the monastery all are equal in the sight of God and of the Church.\nThe first edition of the works of Isidore was published in folio by Michael Somnius (Paris, 1580). Another edition that is quite complete is based upon the manuscripts of Gomez, with notes by Perez and Grial (Madrid, 1599). Based largely upon the Madrid edition is that published by Du Breul (Paris, 1601; Cologne, 1617). The last edition of all the works of Isidore, which is also regarded as the best, is that of Ar\u00e9valo (7 vols., Rome, 1797-1803). It is found in P. L., LXXXI-LXXXIV. The \"De natura rerum was edited by G. Becker (Berlin, 1857). Th. Mommsen edited the historical writings of St. Isidore (\"Mon. Germ. Hist.: Auct. antiquiss.\", Berlin, 1894). Coste produced a German translation of the \"Historia de regibus Gothorum, Wandalorum et Suevorum\" (Leipzig, 1887).\nBlack Oval Coco Sterling Rosary\n14 Karat Gold Filled 4mm Light Rose Swarovski Rosary Bracelet @ $111.99\n14 Karat Gold Filled 4mm Light Rose Swarovski Rosary @ $272.99",

        "raw_content": "Home > Priscilla Papers > The Sinful Woman as Surrogate Host\nHospitality and Forgiveness in Luke 7:44\u201348\npp184_3tswash.pdf\nWe all like to believe ourselves to be discerning. However, Luke 7:36-50 challenges us: Do we really get the main point? And if so, how shall we respond? In the account of the anointing of Jesus by the sinful woman, Jesus radically reverses all assumptions about himself, the woman and Simon, highlights true repentance and forgiveness, and causes us to reflect on the boldness of the Lord\u2019s ministry to women. In examining this account, we need to ask: How does it relate to Luke\u2019s major themes and its immediate context? Is this text reliable? What is the historical-cultural meaning of the woman\u2019s act? How do the grammar and literary aspects highlight the Lord\u2019s major point? What is the significance of key words? How does this text apply to our own lives? Through seeing this passage as representative of Luke\u2019s theme of discerning the truth (which causes paradigm shifts) and the theme of God\u2019s gracious forgiveness, we see this woman\u2019s seemingly lavish response as appropriately representing a repentant heart. Because the historical-cultural information has such importance for the clarity of this article, it has been moved to the forefront of the following presentation, to be followed by grammar and word studies.\nHow does this account relate to Luke\u2019s major themes?\nWriting between a.d. 64 to 68, Luke, \u201cthe beloved Physician\u201d (Col. 4:14), traveling companion of Paul on his second and third missionary journeys (see \u2018we\u2019 passages: Acts 16:10-17; 20:5-15; 21:1-18; 27:1-16) and \u201cfellow worker\u201d with Paul (Phlm 24), spent time in Philippi encouraging and teaching the church there.1 Some, like Jerome and Eusebius, concluded Luke was an Antiochian.2 Addressing Theophilus, most likely a fellow Gentile convert, Luke writes to give him accurate information about the life of Jesus and the Apostles (Acts) and create confidence in the truth of his former teaching (Luke 1:1-4). Converts from a society where sexual immorality abounded, both author and addressee would have had keen interest in Jesus\u2019 attitude toward a societal outcast, like the sinful woman, and his forgiveness of her sin. It is not a stretch of the imagination to think of Theophilus as asking the questions: Would Jesus truly forgive my sins? Would he accept \u201csinful\u201d worship or would he turn his attention to Simon? The division and conflict between Jewish and non-Jewish believers in the early church was a subject in which Theophilus needed instruction and assurance of his own acceptance and pardon.\nLuke writes to Theophilus in order to present Jesus as the Savior and Liberator of all people. His gospel reflects a heart of compassion and tenderness toward all people (7:11; 19:41; 22:50). Luke alone includes the parable of the Good Samaritan, the compassionate half-Jew whose mercy puts the legalism of the Pharisees to shame (10:25-27). Luke emphasizes conversion and true versus false repentance. Also women are prominent in Luke from the birth narratives to the cross to the resurrection accounts. He notes how Jesus receives the ministry of immoral, sick and desperate women as well as others who followed after him and how women lamented Jesus on the cross. Because of the cultural demeaning of women, Luke\u2019s gospel is an emancipation proclamation for all women today as well as the women in the household of Theophilus.\nLuke 7:44-483 is the compassionate personal conclusion of Jesus\u2019 encounter with the sinful woman who anoints him. It also includes the powerful summary of his teaching and rebuke of Simon. It fits into the wider narrative of Luke 7:36-50, which includes the account of the anointing (vv. 36-39), an illustrating teaching example of two debtors (vv. 40-43), and the response of those attending the dinner (vv. 48-50). This passage comes after his proclamation at Nazareth fulfills Isaiah 61:1 concerning the Messianic delivery of the oppressed (Luke 4:18-20). His Galilean ministry illustrates this fulfillment in his power over sickness (4:38-39), command over evil spirits (4:31-36), preaching the good news of the Kingdom (4:42-5:15), the raising of the dead (7:11-17) and healing of the servant of the Gentile centurion (7:1-10). Later, in Luke 7:18-34, Jesus reminds the delegation from John of its fulfillment before their very eyes. The text does not indicate the delegation\u2019s departure, so they may have been present at this dinner to see the Messiah at work. The account of the anointing by the sinful woman illustrates further his liberation of those bound to sin and loosely parallels the account of the forgiveness of the paralytic (5:17-26). Here Luke pairs an example of a man and a woman to represent the complete salvation of all humanity. Like the women Luke mentions in the next chapter, she also ministered to Jesus out of her private means (8:3). Her eager, loving repentance was also an illustration of the seed which fell on fertile ground (8:15).\nThe passage is representative of Jesus\u2019 mission to save all the lost, rather than simply the righteous: \u201cI have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance\u201d (5:32). As illustrating Christ\u2019s mission to save the oppressed, her status, as a woman, an outcast and possibly even a Gentile, highlights to Theophilus and modern readers the Lord\u2019s universal mission. Quoting Isaiah 29:6, Simeon declared that Jesus would be \u201cLight of revelation to the Gentiles.\u201d Luke includes healing the servant of the Centurion (7:1-10), the healing of the Samaritan leper (17:11-19) and records the faithful acts of the widow of Zarephath (4:26), Naaman the leper (4:27), and the repentant Ninevites (11:29-32). He quotes Isaiah 40:5: \u201cAll flesh will see the salvation of God.\u201d His gospel abounds with the accounts of the healing and conversion of societal outcasts: the woman with the issue of blood (8:40-48), the tax collector Zacchaeus (19:1-10), the ten lepers (17:11-21), women (7:11-17, 36-50; 13:10-17) and the hopeless demoniac (8:26-39).\nChrist\u2019s forgiveness and various penitents\u2019 sincere repentance are emphasized in Luke. Having authority on earth to forgive sins (5:24), Jesus forgives the sins of the paralytic (5:17-26). He forgives those who crucify him from the cross (23:34), and, as the resurrected Christ, he commands the disciples to preach \u201crepentance for the forgiveness of sins\u2026.to all the nations\u201d (24:47). The proper human response to the forgiveness of God is sincere repentance. Sent to call repentant sinners (5:2), Jesus declares: \u201cUnless you repent you will likewise perish\u201d (13:3, 5). Thus, the passage illustrates the nature of repentance through the loving anointing of the sinful woman. Its emotional tone is the same as the joyful willingness of Zacchaeus to make restitution (19:8).\nLuke stresses reversal of positions. The low are exalted and the high brought low. The sinners are forgiven but the righteous are condemned. Theophilus, and modern readers as well, must truly perceive this shift, in order to see Christ and see their need of a Savior. The woman, who is a sinner, is really the heroine of the account, whereas the righteous Pharisee is cold and inhospitable. The account also shifts from Jesus the Great Teacher, to Jesus the Forgiver of Sins. In this passage, Jesus is also portrayed as the true prophet, the one greater than Jonah (Luke 11:32; see also 2:32; 4:16-24; 13:33). (See sidebar for further examples of changing roles in Luke.)4\nHow does this text compare with other accounts of the anointing of Jesus?\nAll of the other gospels contain an account of an anointing of Jesus (see Matt. 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; John 12:1-8). However, the account in Luke occurs early in Jesus\u2019 ministry, whereas John\u2019s account occurs six days before the Passover, but Matthew and Mark\u2019s occur two days before. The major characters are di\ufb00erent as well. Luke refers to \u201cSimon the Pharisee,\u201d whereas Matthew and Mark refer to him as \u201cSimon the Leper.\u201d Bound by cleanliness laws (Num. 5:1-4), the Pharisee of Luke 7:36 could hardly be the same as Simon the Leper in Matthew and Mark. John\u2019s account identifies the place as the beloved home of the Lord\u2019s friends, Mary and Martha of Bethany, rather than the home of a doubting and rude Pharisee. In three incidences the woman is sinful, but Mary of Bethany, a disciple of Jesus (Luke 10:38-42), was hardly a well-known sinner. Through a comparison of place, time, events, major characters and thematic emphasis, the reader can logically conclude that there were three di\ufb00erent anointings. Thus, Luke\u2019s account is a unique happening. Directly after this narrative, Luke records the women who ministered to Jesus. Did this woman join their company? Did her example influence later anointings? Women took on the lowly duty of foot washing, if there was no slave. Would not the woman who ministered to Jesus have washed his feet regularly? Because this unusual happening occurred several times in the ministry of Jesus, her influence may well have extended to those who followed after Jesus. Luke\u2019s juxtaposition of Luke 7:36-50 with the narrative of the ministering women (8:1-3) provides some grounds for this plausible though speculative conclusion.\nWhat can we know about this woman?\nThe sinful woman follows Jesus to the home of Simon the Pharisee.5 The woman was most likely a prostitute in the city of Capernaum.6 A woman who had not obtained marriage was dishonored (Isa. 4:1). Bearing the name of a man in marriage gave a woman honor, but she was shamed if a man took her without giving her his name (Hos. 2:7). A prostitute committed sin against the Lord punishable by death (Lev. 18; 20:10-21) and, if she were a Hebrew, was to be \u201cexterminated from her kinsmen\u201d because she had broken the covenant.7 A priest was prohibited from marrying a prostitute or a sacrilegious or divorced woman (Lev. 21:7).8 Johannes Pederson writes: \u201cBetween uncleanness and the curse there is no essential di\ufb00erence. He who touches unclean things is defiled (Lev. 5:2-3); this not only holds true of human beings, but of clothes, beds, vessels, and ovens. If the uncleanness is incurable then the individual in question must be irrevocably removed from the community, for the life of the latter must not be threatened by one person.\u201d9 Therefore, according to Simon\u2019s reasoning, the seemingly careless Jesus could not be a pure and discerning prophet of Yahweh. If Simon neglected such an obvious need of water for the feet, did he neglect o\ufb00ering the ceremonial cleansing water? By making his house open to the public, he knowingly made it unclean. The Tohoroth 7:6 of the Mishnah states: \u201cIf tax gatherers entered a house [all that is within it] becomes unclean.\u201d In contrast, Jesus, the incarnation of The Holy One of Israel, does not shun or limit touch. His personhood is not defiled by loving touch. Hypocritically focusing on outward cleanliness, which he himself neglects, Simon misses the moment. He does not sense the magnitude and intimacy of incarnational holiness. The sinful woman does. Her response is to weep for wonder at God\u2019s welcoming acceptance of her love.\nThe woman came with a flask either on her person or brought for the purpose of giving it to Jesus or anointing him. The alabaster flask, often made of silver or gold, was so much a part of the woman\u2019s dress it was allowed on the Sabbath. The Sages also allotted a woman an allowance of four hundred gold coins for perfume.10 Alfred Edersheim makes a case that she carried the flask on her person. A perfume mixture called foliatum, produced and used in Palestine, was worn by women in a vial around the neck and hung down below the breast (the Tselochith shel Palyeton). It was used as personal perfume and also to sweeten the breath.11\nMost likely, the woman had been converted through the teachings of John the Baptist, or of Jesus. She exhibited great courage to come to the house of a Pharisee and great determination in the face of societal rejection in order to see and hear him. The woman\u2019s weeping showed an outburst of sorrow for her sins and perhaps her empathy for Jesus\u2019 mistreatment. She too had known the sting of social rejection, but this man had showed her forgiveness and deserved the highest honor! It was considered highly improper for a Jewish woman to unloose her hair in public,12 but, in her desire to dry the Lord\u2019s feet, she took this risk. Anointing the head was a common Near Eastern custom, but anointing the feet showed great love and respect.13 She had access to the feet and not to the head of Jesus as he was reclining, as was the Greek custom, at a three sided table with his legs extended outward. Simon did not provide the inexpensive olive oil for anointing the head, but the woman provided the costly perfumed oil for his feet. While not a Messianic anointing, D. A. S. Ravens notes its significance as anointing the feet of the one who brings good news (Isa. 52:7). The account then acts as an anointing for the mission of preaching the good news to come.14\nThe woman assumes the role of host\nThe righteous man extended the rite of hospitality (Gen. 18:1-8; 19:1-11; Job 31:32). An extension of the commandment to love the neighbor, hospitality was a part of the covenant (Lev. 19:33-34).15 Simon neglected his duties as a host in three ways. First, he did not give Jesus water for his feet. Foot washing was common in Old Testament times (Gen. 18:4; 19:2; 24:32; 43:24; 1 Sam. 25:41) and still practiced in the time of Jesus (John 13:5). A slave or person of the lowest rank would have this job. To neglect the foot washing was to imply \u201cthat the visitor was one of very inferior rank.\u201d16 Second, Simon neglected to kiss his guest.17 A kiss of a\ufb00ection was common on both cheeks and, if great reverence was intended, on the hand. L. Levinson notes that, if the invited person was a rabbi, the family members would wait at the door of the house and kiss his hands.18 Wanting to rectify this insult, while not being presumptuous, the woman put herself in the place of a servant and anointed his feet. Bailey alludes to an ancient custom of anointing the feet of a nobleman in the house of kings and priests. Unworthy to kiss his hand, she tenderly and repeatedly kisses his feet.19 Jesus rebukes Simon for not giving him a fraternal kiss (phile\u0304ma), in contrast to kataphileo\u0304, which means to kiss tenderly and reverently and carries the connotation of caressing.20\nFrom Simon\u2019s point of view this continual touching was indecent and o\ufb00ensive. In order to interpret the passage correctly, one must balance the stinging rebuke to Simon and the Lord\u2019s a\ufb03rmation of the sinful woman. To downplay the remarks of Jesus to Simon is to disregard the equal need of both men and women, regardless of social status or gender, for repentance and forgiveness. Also, it weakens the force of the preceding illustration of the moneylenders and debtors by half. All stand indebted before God.\nThe grammar underscores the Lord\u2019s major points\nThe grammar of the passage further highlights the paradigm shift in Luke. In verse 36, Luke uses the imperfect active indicative of ero\u0304tao\u0304, meaning to ask, beg, entreat urgently, to indicate the ongoing nature of Simon\u2019s dinner invitation. Rather than being a seeker after truth, did Simon mean to trap Jesus or did he merely like the company of the famous? He quickly reveals his estimation of Jesus, but Simon\u2019s perspective is superseded by the Lord\u2019s evaluation of him and revelation of his character. Jesus is not merely a prophet, or teacher; he is a discerner of the thoughts of the human heart and the Divine Forgiver. The \u201cdoubted\u201d prophet answers Simon\u2019s thoughts as if he had spoken!21 Along with Simon\u2019s false judgment of the situation and his attitude of moral superiority, Jesus points out his lack of a\ufb00ection. The Greek strings a series of contrasting noun clauses together. The simple aorist (past tense) is used of Simon in verse 44, \u201cyou did not give me water,\u201d but the imperfect of the woman, \u201cshe kept on wetting my feet,\u201d and in verse 46, \u201cyou did not anoint my head\u201d (aorist), but \u201cshe kept on anointing my feet\u201d (imperfect). Simon\u2019s lack of even simple giving is contrasted to the extravagant and continual giving of the woman. Luke uses a present active participle, \u201cshe did not cease kissing my feet from [the time] I came in\u201d (v. 44), in order to emphasize her continual action as opposed to Simon\u2019s lack of even a perfunctory one-time act of cordial greeting. Jesus also contrasts the impersonal (water) with the highly personal (tears and hair). The \u201cTeacher\u201d has shifted to the Forgiver of Sins, the eager Pharisee to the cool withholding judge, and the sinful woman to the forgiven and loving new disciple.22\nFurthermore, the grammar also sheds light on the nature of forgiveness. Did the woman win Christ\u2019s love with her repentance, or was it a result of Christ\u2019s forgiveness? In answering this question, the importance of the emphasis of the account must be kept in mind. While the example of the woman\u2019s overwhelming response is pointed out, only Divine forgiveness could have elicited it. Jesus is the Hero, not the woman. Though unbelieving, perhaps, the guests at the banquet realized this rabbi had asserted a right which surpassed the mere teaching of a rabbi. They ask: \u201cWho is this man who even forgives sin?\u201d (v. 49). The woman\u2019s love is not what saves her, but her faith (v. 50). The Lord does not require great love to o\ufb00er forgiveness, as the healing of the helpless silent paralytic demonstrates (5:17-26). Forgiveness, the free gift of God, always exalts the Forgiver, not the forgiven.\nTo say the woman causes the forgiveness is to negate the impact of the preceding parable in which the inability of either debtor to pay the debt is stressed (7:41-42). The overwhelming forgiveness of God produces the tender and heartfelt love of the woman and not vice-versa. Like the decision of Zacchaeus to restore money four times over, her actions flowed from the forgiveness received. It could only flow from a heart liberated and set abundantly free. In contrast, the rich young ruler did not need more love for God, but rather to be set free from the slavery to money (18:18-23). He, like Simon the Pharisee, was unaware of his need for forgiveness. To emphasize the finished work23 of forgiveness, Jesus pronounces the forgiveness twice: to the entire group (v. 47), and to the woman herself (v. 48). In verse 50, he further intensifies his pronouncement with a blessing of peace.24\nJesus contrasts the righteous woman and the unrighteous Pharisee\nAs the prophet/teacher, Jesus uses the familiar rabbinic teaching device of asking questions to his students. Instead of asking about a point of law, such as \u201cIs uncleanness communicated by touch?,\u201d Jesus asks Simon for a moral evaluation of the hearts of two debtors. Drawing conclusions to everyday life from a case (casuistic law) was in keeping with the Jewish understanding of the law.25 The answer, perhaps, seemed too obvious for the intelligent Pharisee.26 However, Jesus skillfully uses Simon\u2019s own judgment to exonerate the woman and pierce through Simon\u2019s false assessment of his own debt to God.\nThe narrative shows the Rabbi, with insightful clarity,27 drawing out the spiritual significance of the current situation. Jesus does this again when he praises the widow\u2019s small o\ufb00ering (21:1-4) in comparison to the Pharisee\u2019s showy display of generosity or a\ufb03rms the right of a \u201cdaughter of Abraham\u201d (13:16) to be made well on the Sabbath (vv. 10-16). Unlike those bound to the law, Jesus moves with the Holy Spirit in the present moment to perform righteous deeds.\nFurthermore, Luke uses the literary technique of polysyndeton, the use of the same conjunctions (\u201cand, but\u201d) in close succession, in order to produce an unexpected e\ufb00ect. In contrast with the woman, the reader does not know when the end is coming, but with each line Simon sinks lower in our estimation and the woman rises higher. Polysyndeton gives balance to the passage28 and also leads it to a dramatic height.29\nWhat deeper meaning does \u201canoint\u201d have in this text?\nIn response, the woman, fulfilling the hospitality-gap left by the rudeness of the host, performs his obligations by anointing his guest. Luke uses the word aleipho\u0304, \u201cto anoint,\u201d only three times and each in connection with this passage.30 Anointing remains a necessity in the Near East. By anointing the skin with oil, excessive perspiration is prevented. This second, invisible coating acts as another protective layer of clothing against the heat. The lime dust of the area and heat irritated the skin, and, soothed by oil, it was frequently applied to the exposed parts of the body, especially to the face (Ps. 104:15; 133:2).31 Ecclesiastes 9:8 connects anointing to a joyful feast and declares, \u201cLet not oil be lacking on your head.\u201d Psalm 23:5 says, \u201cThou dost prepare a table before me\u2026Thou has anointed my head with oil, my cup overflows\u201d (kjv).\nAnointing had vast religious significance as well. Priests, prophets and kings were all anointed with oil (Exod. 29:29; Lev. 4:3; 1 Kings 19:16; 1 Chron. 16:22; Ps. 105:15). Today priests are still anointed with oil on the thumbs and palms of the hand at ordination to signify their blessing of the people. Oil was used to mark one as set apart to God. The name \u201cMessiah\u201d means anointed one (1 Sam. 12:3, 5; 26:11; 2 Sam. 1:14; Ps. 20:6), as does Christos in Greek (see Ps. 2:1; Dan. 9:25-26; John 1:41; Acts 9:22; 17:2-3; 18:5, 28). Lastly, anointing with oil was done on the sick in order to bring about healing (James 5:14). Anointing of the dead was also common (John 12:7).\nLuke employs the verb used for common anointing, aleipho\u0304, rather than chrio\u0304, which refers to sacred anointing.32 Thus, this anointing was an act of courageous and lavish human devotion at the beginning of Jesus\u2019 ministry rather than an overt religious act. However, the symbolism of anointing Jesus as the rightful prophet, priest, and king of Isaiah 61:1-3 lingers beneath her act.\nBy her gracious act, the hospitable woman not only welcomed God\u2013among\u2013us to human society, but also understood his mission of reconciliation. In summary, Luke uses this passage as an emphatic exclamation point to his major themes. Christ is the Savior of all people and the Divine Liberator of the oppressed who calls everyone to repentance and faith. The account acts as a clear magnifying glass upon the nature of Christ. To the delegation from John the Baptist, it clarifies the divine mission of Christ as the anointed one of Isaiah 61:1. It magnifies Christ as more than a Rabbi but the Divine Forgiver of Sins. It reveals shallow self-righteousness posing as piety and encourages our passionate love of the Savior. The example of the sinful woman demands our attention and asks: Do I love much? Will I risk much? On whom do I lavish my attention? Unhampered by Simon\u2019s prideful and blinding sense of false entitlement, the sinful woman grabbed the opportunity of a lifetime: to kiss the feet of Jesus and, by her lavish, thankful worship, atone for the ingrate\u2019s rude treatment. She sets an example for all of us sinful humans.\nMay the Holy Spirit help us recognize our own unique opportunities to love lavishly and without hesitation the One who first loved us.\nJesus again a\ufb03rms the woman and urges her to \u201cgo into peace.\u201d The rabbis taught that the saying, \u201cGo in peace,\u201d was correct for saying farewell to the dead, but to the living the phrase, \u201cGo into peace,\u201d was proper. Jesus was sending her forth into a new life; Mo\u02beed Qat\u0323an 29a, as cited in Morris, The Gospel According to Luke, 149. An imperative and the strongest sense of the phrase is used.\nThe passage has a triple conclusion. First, his link from the metaphor of the illustrating story, to the current situation: \u201cTherefore, I say\u2026her sins have been forgiven\u201d (v. 47); second, the summary of his teaching from the previous illustration: the one who is forgiven much loves much, those forgiven little, love little; third, he directly repeats himself so the woman will be certain to hear it herself: \u201cYour sins have been forgiven.\u201d The structure makes certain that the readers catch the point (Besan\u00e7on, Paul\u2019s Literary Style, 190, 204-205).\nThough Paul meets Luke in Troas before his \ufb01rst visit to Philippi (Acts 16:9-10; cf 27:1), the length of time Luke spends there strengthening and pastoring the church may have been why Paul calls him a \u201cfellow-worker.\u201d\nJerome, De vir. ill., vii; Eusebius, Historia ecclesiae, III, iv, 7.\nSupported by P3, P75, P97 and codices \u05d0, A, B, C, D, L, W, \u03b8, \u039e, P, \u03a8 as well as \u0192\u00b9 and \u0192\u00b9\u00b3 as well as many minuscules, Luke 7:44-48 is well attested.\nTrue forgiveness and sincere repentance of all people through Christ are also the themes of Acts, the sequel to Luke, in which the gospel extends to all nations (Acts 15:1-35): \u201cThere is no other name under heaven that has been given among people by which we must be saved\u201d (4:12). They are at the heart of Paul\u2019s missionary message (13:38-41; 26:16-23) and the heart of the theological argument of Rom. 1-5, and are the theological underpinnings of his letters (1 Cor. 1:30; Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14). The theme of salvation for those trusting in Christ is again echoed in Revelation. Here Jesus is the Lamb who is worthy because \u201che purchased with his blood believers from every tribe and tongue and people and nation\u201d (Rev. 5:9). The personal forgiveness the sinful woman experienced has become representative of all sinners redeemed by grace through faith.\nThe Pharisees, meaning \u201cseparated\u201d in the Aramaic, were one of several groups to arise out of the Jewish religious revival in the Maccabean period (ca. 166-160 b.c.). Its adherents were from all social walks, although some were political leaders. The Pharisees were bound together into fraternities which stressed tithing and puri\ufb01cation. They followed not only the law, but the traditions of the rabbis who explained in detail the execution of each law. Thus they were bound by a system which emphasized external holiness at the cost of the spirit of the law. Luke refers to them as hypocrites and lovers of money (12:1; 16:14). Simon shows his true nature through his glaring neglect of hospitality and refusal to see the woman\u2019s true spiritual state. His invitation to dinner may have been given in order to trap and test Jesus. The meal was most likely a semi-public one and an informal chance for Jesus to teach. At such meals the public as well as the needy had access to benches along the wall (S. Taylor, \u201cPharisees,\u201d in Evangelical Dictionary of Theology, ed. Walter A. Elwell [Grand Rapids: Baker, 1984], 849-851; Alfred Edersheim, Sketches of Jewish Social Life [Boston: Bradley & Woodru\ufb00, 1876], 235; Norval Geldenhuys, Commentary on the Gospel of Luke [Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1956], 236).\nThe woman has been traditionally linked to Mary Magdalene, though this conclusion is speculative from the text.\nJohannes Pedersen, Israel: Its Life and Culture (London: Oxford, 1926), 427.\nS\u0306abbat 6:3, as cited in Leon Morris, The Gospel According to Luke (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1974), 147. Alfred Plummer concurs and cites Xenophon (Cynegetica, vii.5.32; 4th c. b.c.), Polybius (Xv.1.7; 2nd c. b.c.), and Aristophenes (Vesp. 608; 5th\u20134thc. b.c.), in The Gospel According to Saint Luke, 5th ed. (Edinburgh: T & T Clark, 1989).\nAlfred Edersheim, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, Part I (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1972), 566. See also Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 13.3.19.\nThe Talmud states that a woman can be divorced for letting her hair down in the presence of another man (t. Sot\u0323ah 59), qtd. in Kenneth Bailey, Poet and Peasant Through Peasant Eyes (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1987), 9.\nMorris cites examples from Sanhedrin 27b of kissing the feet of a particularly honored rabbi in his The Gospel According to Luke, 147.\nD. A. S. Ravens, \u201cThe Setting of Luke\u2019s Account of the Anointing: Luke 7:2-8:3,\u201d New Testament Studies 34 (1988): 286. Ravens draws an interesting parallel between Isa. 52:7 and Luke 7:50-8:1. Though Luke may have meant this as a theological statement, it has meaning only in retrospect. This anointing was \ufb01rst of all highly personal.\nPedersen, Israel: Its Life and Culture, 357.\nH. B. Tristram, Eastern Customs in Bible Lands (London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1894), 38; qtd. in Bailey, Poet and Peasant, 8.\nKissing as a form of greeting amongst relatives was common (Gen. 45:15; Ruth 1:9, 14; 2 Sam. 14:33; 1 Kings 19:20) and was given also as a sign of a\ufb00ection (Jacob to Isaac, Gen. 27:26-27; father to returning son, Luke 15:20; Ephesians to Paul, Acts 20:37). It was practiced by the disciples to their teacher and rabbi. Judas betrayed Jesus with this common greeting in Matt. 26:49.\nL. Levinson, The Parables: Their Background and Local Setting (Edinburgh: T & T Clark, 1926), 58f; qtd. in Bailey, Poet and Peasant, 8.\nBailey, Poet and Peasant, 10.\nJoseph and Asenath 15:11.\nSee also Luke 5:22; 6:8; 11:17; 24:18 and John 9:25; 6:61; 13:11; 21:17 for examples of the Lord\u2019s divine omniscience.\nLuke also uses word order for emphasis. Normally the possessive pronoun comes after the noun; three times the genitive \u201cmy\u201d is placed before \u201cfeet\u201d: \u201cShe wet my feet\u201d (v. 44), and in \u201ckissing my feet.\u201d By emphasizing this place of humiliation, Jesus repeatedly pointed out her willing humiliation in contrast with Simon\u2019s arrogant disregard of even common courtesy to an invited guest. Feet were odious to the people of the Near East. The place of utter subjection was at the feet of a ruling King (Ps. 8:6; 60:8). John the Baptist showed his subjection by saying he was not worthy to untie the shoes of the Messiah (Luke 3:16).\nPlummer, The Gospel According to Saint Luke, 213.\nLuke uses the perfect passive tense of aphie\u00e4mi, \u201cforgive\u201d (v. 47), to emphasize the completion of the forgiveness. This tense combines the \u201clinear and punctiliar ideas combined in a state of completion.\u201d The very reduplication pattern of the verb, writes Robertson, expresses the completed act. The Greek aorist, having a wide range of meaning compared to the English usage, is in contrast to the Greek perfect, which is narrower in its use than in English. Therefore, the tense draws attention to itself as the author meant it to. Used in this passage twice, the perfect passive occurs four other times in the New Testament: of the paralytic (Luke 5:20, 23), of the binding and loosing of sins (John 20:23), and of the forgiveness of sins on account of his name (1 John 2:12). The perfect tense can have an intensive use. It highlights the existing reality with more power than the English or Greek present has the force to do. Burton claims that \u201cit is assigned to those circumstances in which the past is practically dropped from thought and the attention is turned wholly to the existing states.\u201dJust as the cancellation of the debt by the money lender indicated complete inability to pay, so the forgiveness of God includes the idea of forgetfulness (Jer. 31:34; Isa. 43:25; Heb. 1:3; 10:17); A. T. Robertson, A Short Grammar of the Greek New Testament (New York: Richard R. Smith, 1931), 302-303; H. E. Dana and Julius R. Mantey, A Manual Grammar of the Greek New Testament (New York: Macmillan, 1927), 200-201; Burton, New Testament Moods and Tenses; qtd. in Dana and Mantey, loc cit., 202.\nBoth types of law, apodictic law (general command) or casuistic law (case law), were paradigmatic. Judgments were extrapolated from similar cases. Douglas Stuart,\u201dOld Testament Survey\u201d class notes, Lecture Outline 2.\nPlummer translates his reply as indicating superiority and indi\ufb00erence: \u201cI suppose or presume,\u201d The Gospel According to Saint Luke, 212.\nLiterary techniques in this section include the use of chiastic thought. In vv. 41-43 greater forgiveness [A] results in greater love [B] and in vv. 44-48 greater love [B] precedes forgiveness [A]. As the main point of the passage is forgiveness, and a sub-point is love, the \u201cchiastic structure puts emphasis on forgiveness and gives the account its surprising \ufb01nal twist,\u201d A\u00edda Besan\u00e7on Spencer, Paul\u2019s Literary Style (Lanham: University Press of America, 1998), 190. Chiastic structure functions like a twisted rubber band which both pulls outward and also pulls back to the center. Like the rubber band, God\u2019s love always pulls us toward him in repentance, but stays centered in his own mercy, goodness, and sovereignty.\nIn v. 47, \u201cmuch\u201d ends the \ufb01rst two clauses, \u201cforgiven much, loves much.\u201d In Greek, \u201clittle\u201d begins the next set of clauses (\u201cthe one who little is forgiven\u2026little loves\u201d). The inversion makes the phrase memorable and easily repeated. Jesus, the most excellent teacher and preacher, used this device as a short, true, and unforgettable summary for a complex topic surrounded by intense emotions. This passage crystallizes the teaching truth and immortalizes the event.\nThe signi\ufb01cance of the passage produces a succinct, high-impact account which combines teaching and compassion as well as rebuke. It also displays progression in emphasis from teaching prophet to divine forgiver. Simply outlined, it contains narrative (vv. 36-39), teaching (vv. 40-43), and application (vv. 44-50). From the structure, the parallel nature of the transposition, when speaking of the woman (\u201cWith tears she wet\u2026\u201d; \u201cwith her hair she wiped\u2026\u201d), is in contrast to the parallel structure of transposition when the narrative speaks of Simon (\u201cWater you did not give me; a kiss you did not give me\u201d).\nRavens, \u201cLuke\u2019s Account of the Anointing,\u201d 283.\n\u201cAnointing,\u201d ISBE Dictionary (Bible Works, 2002).\n\u201cAleipho\u0304,\u201d Thayer\u2019s Greek Lexicon (Bible Works, 2002).\nMary Brondyke is a second-year Master of Divinity student at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts.

        "title": "Senate to Vote on 'Pain Capable' Act Banning Abortion at 20 Weeks",
        "raw_content": "By Brandon Showalter, CP Reporter | Sunday, January 28, 2018\nParticpants watch as U.S. President Donald Trump speaks by satellite from the nearby White House to attendees of the March for Life anti-abortion rally in Washington, U.S. January 19, 2018. | (Photo: REUTERS/Eric Thayer)\nThe Senate will vote Monday on legislation banning abortion at the 20-week mark, the point at which unborn children can feel pain.\nPro-life leaders in the upper chamber intend to emphasize that it is time for the United States to exit the club of seven countries that allow the practice, a group that includes nations like China and North Korea.\nSenator Joni Ernst, a Republican from Iowa, is one of the lead sponsors of the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which pro-life activists are calling Micah's law. The bill is named after a 5-year-old boy from Newton, Iowa who in 2012 was born at 22 weeks.\nRepublican Senator Joni Ernst reacts after the results of the Senate race in the U.S. midterm elections in West Des Moines, Iowa, November 4, 2014. | (Photo: Reuters/Brian C. Frank)\n\"When Micah was born, he was only about the size of a bag of M&Ms,\" Ernst recounted in a Thursday conference call with reporters, \"and yet Micah was still a perfectly formed baby with 10 fingers and 10 toes.\"\n\"Yet there is no federal law protecting these vulnerable babies from abortion,\" she continued, and \"as a result, every year in our country, the lives of thousands of such babies end painfully in abortion.\"\nThe bill will prevent over 10,000 late-term abortions annually, according to estimates by pro-life activists.\nSenator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, who was also on the call Thursday said: \"In 2018, do we still want to be one of seven nations that allow abortion on demand at 20 weeks?\"\nHe stressed that it is beyond time that the United States needs to leave the small group of seven nations that include countries like China and North Korea that allow this practice, and mentioned that several senators supporting the law would drive that point home next week.\nU.S. Senator Lindsey Graham speaks during a news conference in Cairo, Egypt April 3, 2016. | (Photo: REUTERS/Mohamed Abd El Ghany)\n\"It's a time in the pregnancy when young parents are encouraged to sing to the unborn child because you can recognize the parent's voice. It's a time when babies can be saved,\" Graham added.\nThe House of Representatives passed the Pain Capable bill in October. Last week President Donald Trump, in remarks addressing the March for Life attendees, urged the Senate to pass the bill and send it to his desk for signing.\nIn 2015 the Senate took up a version of the 20-week abortion ban and three Democratic senators joined Republicans to approve it. The motion nevertheless failed by a 54-42 vote, falling short of the 60 votes needed to end debate on the bill.\nIn states where Democratic Senators are up for reelection that Donald Trump won in 2016 \u2014 such as Wisconsin, Missouri, Montana, and North Dakota \u2014 polling commissioned by the pro-life political action committee Susan B. Anthony List reveals that majorities of voters in these states both support a 20-week ban and are less likely to support a senator who votes to allow late-term abortion.\nRecent Marist polling also shows that 74 percent of pro-lifers polled and 56 percent of pro-choice respondents support banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. When measured by party affiliation, 73 percent of Republicans, 64 percent of independents, and 56 percent of Democrats also said they supported restricting such abortion procedures.\nSupport for the bill is particularly high among young people, with 78 percent of millennials supporting it, the SBA commissioned poll found. 70 percent of African-Americans and 57 percent of Hispanics reportedly back legislation banning late-term abortions.\nSusan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser speaks at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on July 13, 2015. | (Photo: The Christian Post/Samuel Smith)\nCP asked SBA-List President Marjorie Dannenfelser Thursday if she believes it is possible for the 60 votes to be attained for the pain-capable bill to be passed.\nAs with previous federal legislation restricting abortion, she replied, \"it took a few election cycles but what happened every time is that the volume got ratcheted up immensely every single time, and that is the case this time.\"\nSince the last time the Senate voted on this there has been a presidential election where the issue was raised in a very high profile way, the SBA-List president went on to say, referencing then candidate Donald Trump's remarks about late-term abortion in the third presidential debate.\n\"Clearly, we need more votes,\" Dannenfelser continued.\n\"But at some point, when you start to get a little bit closer, when senators in vulnerable states start to really feel the heat and we get closer to that motion to proceed number that we have to have, then it starts to look very optimistic.\"\nFor Moms Who Don't Want an Abortion, This New Push Is Transforming Pro-Life Health Care\nUS House Passes Bill Requiring Doctors to Save Babies Who Survive Abortions\nPresident Trump Declares Jan. 22 'National Sanctity of Human Life Day'",

Perkins/3 years old last Oct/March 1845.\nSamuel Taylor was an itinerant portrait painter working primarily in piedmont Virginia with a distinctive portraiture style particularly evident in the construction of facial shapes. Little is known of Taylor, although a good number of paintings have been attributed to him. His commissions came primarily in the Piedmont along the James River Basin and somewhat further west. His canvases have an unusual preparation and his stretchers are crude, betraying his lack of formal training. Yet, he was still able to capture the spirit of his subjects. As seen here, he inserted a dove into several of his young female portraits using it as a device to indicate the purity and innocence of girlhood.\nHarriet Perkins was the daughter of Powhatan Perkins (1807-1885) of Louisa County, Virginia.",

        "raw_content": "Church Software Reviews\nThe church software industry is quite interesting as it is constantly changing and evolving. Because of the increase in need and in easiness of use, it is becoming harder to choose what package to buy. There are companies that have been developing software for ages and are known to provide quality church software. Let us talk now about the leading church software packages, the companies behind them, and what they have to offer.\nChurch Windows is developed and designed by \u201cComputer Helper\", located in Columbus , Ohio and founded in 1987. It is a company specialized in church software and this is its only field of activity currently serving over 9000 churches in the United States alone. They pride themselves with their software claiming it \u201cstrikes a balance between being powerful and flexible in its capabilities, yet intuitive and easy to use.\" Church Windows is a church software package that consists of a number of programs that can be used alone or as a unit, much the same way as Microsoft office.\nChurch Windows is the kind of program that is designed to help, not complicate. It is a church software package that has a lot to offer, not least of all is it's training and support policy. \u201cSupport\" is a keyword for the company just like \u201ctraining\". This particular church software package will offer gives those with older machines no reason to upgrade. Church windows runs on a minimum of Pentium II with 64 MB RAM, just 150 MB HDD space and a minimum operating system of Windows 98.\nFew church software programs have such minimum requirements. This is because Computer Helper focuses on quality and not on visual interface thus providing users with software that is easy to use and works great as compared with other software manufacturers that will offer a decent program but with better design. That type of church Software will require a better computer and will cost more. The package costs between 375$ to 1585$ with support fees of 99$ per year. The price can even be lower depending on your needs.

Deadline reports that the seven-time Emmy nominated actress for Malcolm in the Middle will be playing a mother on the small screen again on the NBC comedy Whitney, premiering this fall.\nKaczmarek will step into the role after scenes had already been shot with Beverly D\u2019Angelo playing the lead character\u2019s mother; the scenes will be re-shot. Initially, NBC intended to have D\u2019Angelo stay in the pilot as a guest star but would not have her return as a recurring character. There\u2019s no word as to why NBC declined to bring D\u2019Angelo on for a recurring role but decided to offer the spot to Kaczmarek.\nThe sitcom follows comedienne Whitney Cummings of Chelsea Lately in the lead role and her boyfriend played by Chris D\u2019Elia as they try to keep the romance alive and refuse to get married. Kaczmarek will play Whitney\u2019s frank and opinionated mother, who has been through several marriages and might just be the reason Whitney doesn\u2019t want to walk down the aisle. Also joining the cast are Zoe Lister-Jones, Maulik Pancholy and Dan O\u2019Brien.\nKaczmarek has a real gift for creating memorable female characters with strong personalities; no doubt she will bring that gift to the role in Whitney. Certainly her name will bring in a new viewing segment this series might not otherwise have seen.\nWhitney will premiere Thursday, September 22nd at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.",

        "title": "How to ensure your A.I. gets good nutrition - CIO",
        "raw_content": "How to ensure your A.I. gets good nutrition\nThe human element behind the black box\nBy Heidi Maher (Computerworld (US)) 21 July, 2016 21:00\nLike children, artificial intelligence needs proper parenting to achieve its full potential, and proper parenting starts with a healthy diet \u2014 of good data.\nBusinesses increasingly acknowledge the potential of A.I. to accelerate decision making, but many have serious concerns about what is happening inside the black box. The quality of any A.I. can only be as good as the data it processes. Of course, \u201cgarbage in, garbage out\u201d has long been an analytics refrain, but it\u2019s even more important for A.I.\nWhy? Consider the difference between the two. An analytics solution typically provides a graph prioritizing the results. Ask an analytics program why sales are down in the Northeast region, and you\u2019ll essentially get a list of possible factors: supply chain hiccups, demographic changes, social media trends, etc. A human then has to evaluate the results to determine which factors to base the ultimate decision on. A cognitive A.I. approach is less transparent. Ask an A.I. why sales are down in the Northeast region and you get a single, definitive answer. That\u2019s it. Done deal.\nThe A.I. approach would be a business user\u2019s dream come true. Ask a question, get a definitive answer, and confidently take an action. It would save time and result in faster, better business decisions.\nBut what if the A.I. is wrong? More important, how would a business user ever know an A.I. is wrong? Because of this, relying on A.I. requires a level of trust significantly higher than for an analytics solution. From the perspective of a chief data officer or a data scientist, parenting an A.I. is a humbling responsibility.\nThose in charge of feeding A.I. must ensure a complete and healthy diet: clean, relevant and reliable data with traceable provenance. Instead of the five food groups, a healthy A.I. diet depends on curating the data that goes into it:\nSpecifying scope\nA.I. shouldn\u2019t be allowed to drink wildly from a data lake where data has not been cleansed, packaged and structured for easy consumption.According to the Compliance, Governance and Oversight Counsel (CGOC), nearly 70% of the data that companies produce and collect has no business, legal or compliance value, so you must develop a way to understand and specify the scope and criteria of the data to be fed to A.I. Which data stores and what file types? What connections exist between the data? Who is responsible for making the determination and for final approval?\nReviewing and managing sources\nOnce you have specified your sources, you need to ensure the quality of the data. To increase confidence in and defend responses from A.I., you must be able to assess the authenticity (via audit trails), accuracy and value of the content contributed to your data collection. This can be done through heat maps and visualizations.\nAs data is located and copied from multiple sources, data scientists and subject matter experts must have access to a simplified process for locating, reviewing and tracking higher-quality information that will be used to train the A.I. \u201cbrain.\u201d\nTagging and classifying\nYou need to tag and classify the data to ensure that it can be properly digested. Depending on the A.I. task, some metadata has more value than others. If you are looking for marketing insights, you will likely value metadata drawn from EXIF files associated with images on social media sites, including geolocation, timestamps, camera type and serial numbers. In medical settings, metadata elements including patient ID-date of birth, provenance-timestamp, and privacy-content are essential.\nTrack responses and update\nFinally, you must have governance capabilities built into the system to track responses to the information used and adjust the diet accordingly.\nThe great irony of A.I. is that while it would seem to be the ultimate autonomous computing creation, and technology exists to automate parts of the data curation process, the job of parenting an A.I. is a particularly human one based on extensive knowledge and expertise in the subject matter area of the A.I. And only by recognizing the importance of the human element within the process of data curation can we fully assess the difficulty of getting A.I. right and avoiding hyped expectations and overconfidence in the implementation effort. As a result, as parents, we must continually and patiently nurture A.I. as it matures through specific stages, mastering new and very specific capabilities that meet well-defined requirements.\nHeidi Maher is the executive director of the Compliance, Governance and Oversight Counsel (CGOC).\nMore about Counsel",

The reports are based on previously unreleased data collected from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The goal of the investigation was to find out why the United States spends more than virtually any other country per dialysis patient, yet has one of the highest mortality rates of dialysis patients worldwide.\nThe investigators reviewed inspection records of more than 1,500 clinics from New York to California. In nearly half of the centers, \"dirty or unsafe conditions, including dried blood on treatment chairs, walls, and floors, were noted,\" said the report.\n\"While the report found a number of possible contributing factors impacting the outcome of patients on dialysis, obviously, cross contaminationis always a concern in any health care setting,\" says Michael Schaffer, a senior executive with Tacony Corp.'s commercial floor-care division, which includes such brands as Tornado Industries and CFR Corp.\nTo help reduce cross-contamination in dialysis as well as all medical settings, Schaffer recommends \"heightened sanitizing and disinfecting procedures of all surfaces.\"\nIn addition, enhanced floor care is criticalin dialysis and all health care settings, particularly since floors are subjected to spills, leaks, and body fluids that can spread disease. However, this can be difficult because many treatment rooms are small or congested with medical equipment.",

        "raw_content": "There are many different business tools you can use within Microsoft Office 365 and the latest one that has been integrate is Skype for Business. The tool has been able to be utilized by businesses for many years as a stand alone tool but now it can be part of your current Office 365 infrastructure.\nMicrosoft is a wonderful business platform because of a variety of reasons. They have the Windows products as well as the Azure cloud platform that can help people run their businesses better. Microsoft is also a leading unified communications provider which means that they provide methods of communication within their packages. Even if you have heard about Skype as a way to communicate with friends and family, you may not realize that is can also be used in a business setting. Skype for Business is Microsoft\u2019s cloud-based video conferencing tool that can be used through Office 365 as well as on its own. Skype for Business effectively replaces Microsoft\u2019s Lync 2013 and Windows Messenger.\nWhy Skype for Business is a Great Solution\nAs a business solution, Skype allows companies to have video conferences with clients, employees, and any other individual with ease. Since it is already integrated with the Microsoft product, there is nothing more people have to do as long as they are current customers with Office 365. It is a tool that is already integrated with the Microsoft packages but it can also be used by people who do not have one of their packages. There are a lot of features within Skype for Business including scheduling tools, single touch join, the ability to share content during the video call, instant messaging that is separate from the voice calling but can also be used during a call, recording of calls, presence, and PSTN connectivity. It can be used for smaller video calls as well as larger ones with up to 250 participants and up to 6 people on the screen at one time. If you have more people who need to watch the meeting, you can stream it live through Microsoft Azure as well as stream it for viewing later.

Fewer than half of adult patients followed up with their PCP after a recent visit to an urgent care center or a retail health clinic (36% and 25%, respectively) despite this being among the discharge instructions. Sixty-five percent of adult patients assume that PCPs automatically receive information about their patients' urgent care visits, although that is not always the case.\nIn addition, the personal bond between PCPs and their adult patients was reported to be strong, with 59% of US adults believing that their PCP cares about them and 49% believing that their PCP knows them personally. Overall, 75% of adult patients know the name of their PCP, while few adults know the name of a care provider who most recently treated them at a retail health clinic, urgent care center, or free clinic (15%, 12%, and 8%, respectively).\n\"The research findings show that both patients and physicians need to work harder to communicate to take advantage of the benefits offered by the more personal relationships patients can enjoy with their PCPs,\" William J.

I can vanish into thin air if anyone or anything interferes with my investigation. If you need a cat who knows how to stay out of trouble and will always keep your secrets, I just might take your case.\nWhen it comes to relationships, I\u2019m very level-headed. I don\u2019t leap in paws first, if you know what I mean. But give me a little time, and then I\u2019ll shower you with purrs, head-butts, and plenty of lap time. In the meantime, you may not see a lot of me but I\u2019ll be thinking a lot of you!\nDo you seek affection? I do! If you also like petting, purrs, and paws kneading your lap, I think we might have a LOT in common. I\u2019m looking for \u201csomeone who enjoys quiet times and togetherness.\u201d Could that someone be you?\nI have to say, I\u2019m a busy cat. First, I\u2019ve got to check out what\u2019s happening out the window. Next, I\u2019ll see if any closets or cupboards need looking into. And then there are my naps ? can\u2019t be late for those. I can fit a little socializing into my schedule. Shall we plan on breakfast and dinner? I hope you like kibbles.\n\u200bPersonal Assistant\nYou\u2019re working on the computer? Let me press the keys. Reading the paper? I\u2019ll hold the pages down for you. Watching TV? I\u2019ll just plop in your lap so you can pet me. I love an orderly household, don\u2019t you? I\u2019ll help you with all your chores, and I\u2019ll help you relax when we\u2019re done. You\u2019ll wonder how you ever managed without me.\nI\u2019m a savvy cat who knows the score. I\u2019m pretty unflappable, too. I don\u2019t mind entertaining myself, but a human companion at the other end of the couch and a nice scratch behind the ears always make my day. If you\u2019re looking for a resourceful addition to your team, think about signing this Most Valuable Pussycat.\nI\u2019m a cat on a mission: PARTY! I love to play and explore and test my limits. I\u2019d love to play with you, but I can make a toy out of anything: pencils, post-it notes, potatoes. If you\u2019re looking for some laughs and someone to liven up the party, think about inviting me.\nI\u2019m a cat who does everything in a big way. I not only like to be in the middle of things \u2013 I like to lead the parade. I\u2019m an adventurous cat, but I\u2019ll still make plenty of time to show you my affectionate side.

        "raw_content": "Blog Medicaid Work Requirements: Bad Policy for All, Particularly Harmfu...\nMedicaid Work Requirements: Bad Policy for All, Particularly Harmful to People With Addictions and People of Color\nJan 25, 2018 \u00b7 Health Policy Hub \u00b7 Orla Kennedy\nTime after time, the Trump administration talks about our country\u2019s drug overdose crisis, yet its relentless attacks on health care simultaneously undermine access to life-saving treatment and services for people with substance use disorders. The most recent example: forcing Medicaid beneficiaries to work in order to maintain their health insurance coverage.\nThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will now allow states to impose work requirements, and has provided instructions for how states should implement these unprecedented rules. The guidance is now reality in Kentucky \u2014 a state with one of the highest drug overdose death rates in the country \u2014 where CMS recently approved a Section 1115 demonstration waiver requiring Medicaid beneficiaries to work for 80 hours a month, or else face a suspension of their coverage. Advocacy groups are already voicing opposition; the National Health Law Program, the Kentucky Equal Justice Center and the Southern Poverty Law Center have jointly filed a law suit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and CMS to block this Kentucky requirement.\nFor years, states have used demonstration waivers to experiment with changes in Medicaid eligibility and coverage, but work requirements have never been approved. Historically, they have been considered contrary to Medicaid\u2019s objective to provide health coverage. There are many issues with work requirements: They are administratively burdensome for both consumers and state offices, they are unnecessary in that most individuals receiving Medicaid coverage already work voluntarily, they are unlikely to promote employment or health, and they ultimately create barriers to health care instead of improving access. While work requirements are a bad idea across the board, they are especially problematic for people living with substance use disorders.\nWhat the guidance says:\nThe work requirements apply to \u201cnon-elderly, non-pregnant adult Medicaid beneficiaries who are eligible for Medicaid on a basis other than disability.\u201d Medically frail individuals are exempt, and states can broadly define their criteria for what it means to be \u201cmedically frail.\u201d\nIndividuals with substance use disorders do not meet CMS\u2019s \u201cdisability\u201d criteria and would therefore be subject to the work requirements. In an attempt to recognize the needs of people with addiction, CMS instructs states to make \u201creasonable modifications\u201d for individuals with substance use disorders and opioid addiction. They can count the time spent in treatment toward the work requirement -- for example, Kentucky\u2019s approach -- or exempt individuals receiving certain intensive treatment from the requirement altogether. These modifications, however, fall short of fixing the problems inherent in imposing work requirements.\nWork requirements create barriers to care at a time when people with substance use disorders already struggle to access treatment and recovery supports.\nOnly about 10 percent of individuals with a substance use disorder received specialty treatment in the previous year, according to recent data. The last thing individuals need is another obstacle between them and life-saving services. Whether it is through the job search itself, or cumbersome administrative processes to verify either requirement fulfillment or exemption status, work requirements can inhibit the ability to access continuous care. Throughout their recovery process, people need to keep their Medicaid coverage and remain connected to the health care system in order to get and stay healthy.\nThe \u201creasonable modifications\u201d are inadequate.\nThe guidance narrowly references \u201cinpatient treatment or intensive outpatient treatment\u201d in the exemption criteria. Although it is often hard to access, intensive medical treatment is only one component of an individual\u2019s recovery process. Someone with a substance use disorder may be tapping other services, such as peer coaching and community based recovery programs. So far, it does not appear that CMS will include those activities in the exemption criteria, and states might not elect to include them anyway. In addition, the road to recovery for people with substance use disorders might involve multiple episodes of treatment, but according to the guidance, as soon as someone leaves treatment they would no longer qualify for the exemption. The work requirement therefore jeopardizes recovery for individuals who have completed treatment but may still need recovery supports.\nSociety has historically criminalized addiction, particularly in communities of color, leaving many with criminal records.\nRequiring individuals with substance use disorders to find employment before they can obtain Medicaid coverage is particularly problematic, as some have a criminal history that is directly associated with their untreated addiction. While our society is evolving to recognize addiction as a public health problem rather than a criminal one, there were still 1.5 million arrests in the \u201cdrug abuse violations\u201d category nationwide in 2016. Many of these individuals face barriers to employment because of these criminal records, and formerly incarcerated individuals face even larger obstacles while they seek work during reentry. Taking into account the disproportionately punitive approaches to substance use in communities of color through the \u201cWar on Drugs,\u201d as well as the discrimination people of color face in the job market, these work requirements will only worsen health disparities between white people and people of color.\nIt is discouraging that other states are following Kentucky\u2019s lead to impose work requirements. Arkansas, Arizona, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, New Hampshire, Utah, Wisconsin and Mississippi have already submitted similar proposals. If approved, they will ultimately jeopardize lives. We urge policymakers to consider the true harms of Medicaid work requirements, particularly for people with substance use disorders, and refrain from implementing them at all.",

Turnover for the year to 2014, was c\u00a3175K. The company was not encountering financial difficulties and at the time was solvent. However, the company was seeking a TTP due to the Corporation Tax owed which included a large component of section 455 tax in respect of a commercial loan to the director.\n- The company occupies small leased premises attached to a larger medical facility.\n- The company employs 2 staff including the director.\n- The company had no loans, or overdraft facility and operated the account responsibly maintaining a credit balance.\n- There was a separate mortgage provider for premises owned by the company. This facility was secured by a fixed and floating charge over the company\u2019s assets.\n- During the time working on this case KSA discovered that there were other registered charges listed as outstanding in relation to former facilities. KSA informed the director of this and steps were taken to have these listed as satisfied.\n- The director had provided a Personal Guarantees (P.G) to the mortgage provider\nAs detailed in KSA\u2019s remit, KSA approached HMRC on an informal basis to discuss proposals for a TTP arrangement. However, this was rejected due to the presence of section 455 tax which indicted an outstanding director\u2019s loan. HMRC would not enter into discussions with respect to a TTP arrangement until the directors\u2019 loan had been repaid in full. As there was an outstanding loan owed to the company by the director with no strategy for repayment, HMRC would not budge on its decision.\nCategories: Turnaround, What is a CVA or Company voluntary arrangement?",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home \u00bb Patents \u00bb Supreme Court Makes it Easier to Obtain Treble Damages in Patent Cases\nThe Supreme Court recently ruled that to obtain an award of treble damages in patent litigation, the Patent Act, 35 U.S. C. \u00a7284, requires that the trial court determine the knowledge of the actor at the time of infringement in order to determine assessment of attorneys fees and proof of the degree of culpability need not be established with the higher, clear and convincing evidentiary standard, but need only be proven by a preponderance of evidence. The Halo Electronics Inc. v. Pulse Electronics Inc., Case No. 14-1513 ( S. Ct. June 13, 2016) (Available Here) overturned the decade-long requirement of \u201cobjectively high likelihood that its actions constituted infringement\u201d and the clear and convincing evidentiary standard set by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the appeals court that hears all patent appeals from the trial courts). See In re Seagate Technology, LLC, 497 F. 3d 1360 (2007) (en banc).\nThe Patent Act provides that, in a case of infringement, courts \u201cmay increase the damages up to three times the amount found or assessed.\u201d In In re Seagate Technology, LLC, the Federal Circuit adopted a two-part test. Under Seagate, a patent owner was required to first \u201cshow by clear and convincing evidence that the infringer acted despite an objectively high likelihood that its actions constituted infringement of a valid patent.\u201d Id., at 1371. Second, the patentee was required to demonstrate, again by clear and convincing evidence, that the risk of infringement \u201dwas either known or so obvious that it should have been known to the accused infringer.\u201d\nIn the case at bar, after one of its engineers concluded that Halo\u2019s patents were invalid, Pulse continued to sell the allegedly infringing products. In 2007, Halo sued Pulse. The jury found that Pulse had infringed Halo\u2019s patents, and that there was a high probability Pulse acted willfully. The District Court, however, declined to award enhanced damages under \u00a7284, after determining that Pulse had at trial presented a defense that \u201cwas not objectively baseless, or a \u2018sham.\u201d\u2018 See, for example, Bard, 682 F. 3d, at 1007. The Federal Circuit affirmed.\nIn a second case combined with Halo, the jury found that Zimmer had willfully infringed Stryker\u2019s patents and awarded Stryker $70 million in lost profits. The District Court added $6.1 million in supplemental damages and then trebled the total sum under \u00a7284, resulting in an award of over $228 million. Specifically, the District Court noted, the jury had heard testimony that Zimmer had \u201call-but instructed its design team to copy Stryker\u2019s products.\u201d\nApplying de novo review, the Federal Circuit concluded that enhanced damages were not available because Zimmer had asserted \u201creasonable defenses.\u201d\n\u201cAwards of enhanced damages under the Patent Act over the past 180 years establish that they are not to be meted out in a typical infringement case, but are instead designed as a \u2018punitive\u2019 or \u2018vindictive\u2019 sanction for egregious infringement behavior. The sort of conduct warranting enhanced damages has been variously described in our cases as willful, wanton, malicious, bad-faith, deliberate, consciously wrongful, flagrant, or \u2013 indeed \u2013 characteristic of a pirate.\u201d\n\u201cBut culpability is generally measured against the knowledge of the actor at the time of the challenged conduct. See generally Restatement (Second) of Torts \u00a7SA (1965) (\u2018intent\u2019 denotes state of mind in which \u2018the actor desires to cause consequences of his act\u2019 or \u2018believes\u2019 them to be \u2018substantially certain to result from it\u2019); W. Keeton, D. Dobbs, R. Keeton, & D. Owen, Prosser and Keeton on Law of Torts \u00a734, p. 212 (5th ed. 1984) (describing willful, wanton, and reckless as \u2018\u2019look[ing] to the actor\u2019s real or supposed state of mind\u2019); see also Kolstad v. American Dental Assn., 527 U. S. 526, 538 (1999) (\u2018Most often \u2026 eligibility for punitive awards is characterized in terms of a defendant\u2019s motive or intent\u2019). In Safeco Ins. Co. of America v. Burr, 551 U.S. 47 (2007), we stated that a person is reckless if he acts \u2018knowing or having reason to know of facts which would lead a reasonable man to realize\u2019 his actions are unreasonably risky.\u201d\nThe Supreme Court stated that the Seagate test is inconsistent with \u00a7284 because the test required clear and convincing evidence to prove recklessness.\nThe same conclusion follows naturally from the holding in Halo. \u201cSection 284 gives district courts discretion in meting out enhanced damages. It \u2018commits the determination\u2019 whether enhanced damages are appropriate \u2018to the discretion of the district court\u2019 and \u2018that decision is to be reviewed on appeal for abuse of discretion.\u2019\u201d\nThe defendant infringers worried that the ready availability of such damages will embolden \u201dtrolls.\u201d Trolls, in the patois of the patent community, are entities that hold patents for the primary purpose of enforcing them against alleged infringers, often exacting outsized licensing fees on threat of litigation. The Court took the position that Congress should address the troll issue and not the courts.",

Lenovo said it plans to use the drive in its upcoming line of dual-drive ThinkPads. The drive was recently selected by DRS Technologies for its upcoming ARMOR tablet PC, which is designed to function in extreme temperatures and hold up to shock, vibration and drops.\n\"The Intel SSD 310 Series is the first in a wave of SSD products we will introduce throughout the next year,\" Tom Rampone, general manager of Intel's NAND Solutions Group, said in a statement. \"With this introduction, Intel is offering full SSD performance in a compact, ultra-small form factor.\"\nThe new SSD weighs 10 grams and measures 51mm by 30mm (2 inches by 1.18 inches) and is only 5mm (.19 inches) thick.\nThe SSD comes in 40GB and 80GB capacities. The 40GB model has a sustained read/write rate of 170MB/sec. and 35MB/sec., respectively. The 80GB model has a sustained read/write rate of 200MB/sec. and 70MB/sec., respectively. With regard to random read/write, using 4KB blocks, the SSD can achieve up to 35,000 input/outputs per second (IOPS) and 6,600 IOPS, respectively.\nThe drive also sips power, using only 150 milliwatts when active and 75 milliwatts while in idle mode.\nThe SSD 310 supports the serial ATA (SATA) data transfer protocol over a PCI Express (PCIe) mini-connector for onboard, compact [storage] in single-drive [netbooks] , tablets or handheld devices.\n\"The Intel SSD 310 series will allow us to provide the advantages of a full-performance Intel SSD paired with the storage of a hard disk drive in a small, dual-drive system,\" said Tom Butler, director of ThinkPad product marketing at Lenovo. \"We're looking forward to incorporating this new solution across our ThinkPad line.\"\nThe SSD 310 is already shipping to equipment manufacturers. The SSD is priced at $99 for the 40GB capacity and $179 for the 80GB version, both in 1,000-unit quantities.\nLucas Mearian covers storage, disaster recovery and business continuity, financial services infrastructure and health care IT for Computerworld.

        "raw_content": "Mobile bills still confusing, shocking: Macquarie University\nUsing too much data is the leading reason for bill shock, the study found.\nThe Telecommunications Consumer Protection (TCP) code does not go \u201cfar enough\u201d to make mobile phone bills simple and transparent for customers, according to the author of a Macquarie University study on bill shock.\nMacquarie University reviewed 201 mobile phone bills across multiple mobile operators in August. The study was funded with a grant from Amaysim.\nThe surveyed bills covered transaction details like number of minutes and how much calls cost \u201cvery well,\u201d said David Gray, Macquarie University chief investigator for the study. However, it was difficult to break down \u201cindividual items covered in a person\u2019s plan\u201d and compare it to what a customer actually used, he said.\nThe TCP code, enforced by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), started to come into effect in September and will be phased in over time through September 2014.\n\u201cI think the TCP code is going in the right direction,\u201d Gray told Computerworld Australia. \u201cThe major things we raised were in the transparency and the simplicity of the information and reporting process.\u201d\n\u201cThe ideal process is that the industry regulates itself,\u201d he said. \u201cBut if it doesn\u2019t do it, then it probably needs a push along by the regulator.\u201d\nThe surveyed bills were issued in August, before several updated TCP code rules related to billing came into effect this September. However, Gray said he has seen bills from the past few weeks and \u201cdidn\u2019t notice any differences at all\u201d from the August bills. Another billing change to be implemented in March 2013 for will require bills with an included value plan to include the total amount of the bill for two previous billing periods.\nThe average mobile bill in the Macquarie University study cost $72.99. The study found that about 40 per cent of surveyed users experienced some level of bill shock, with more than half of that subset facing bills greater than $5 over the advertised price.\nOn average, the bill-shocked users experienced $28 in additional charges. However, Gray cautioned this may not be an accurate representation of the monthly average for all of Australia.\nThe most popular price for a mobile phone plan was $59, with more than a third paying that much, the study found. About 20 per cent had a $49 plan while about 9 per cent paid $79. Bill shock most commonly occurred at the $59 price point, with those customers paying an extra $34.58. The users who paid the most for bill shock, $155.58, already had $129 plans.\n\u201cThe incidence of bill shock amongst each of the major carriers appears to be generally staggered in the same manner as their share of the market,\u201d the study found.\nAmaysim, which resells Optus service, believes mobile operators need to rework not just the bills but the plans themselves to increase transparency, said CEO Rolf Hansen.\n\u201cThe bill is just a reflection of how the product works or doesn\u2019t work,\u201d Hansen said. Many consumers buy cap plans thinking they won\u2019t pay more than the cap, and then get stung with high fees for going over the limit, he said.\nMost bill shock results from data\nUsing too much data was the leading reason a user experienced bill shock, at 43 per cent, the study found. In comparison, 24 per cent went over due to call charges, 24 per cent due to standard text messaging and 19 per cent due to international text messaging.\nHowever, many other users didn\u2019t come close to using all the data included in their plan, the study found. On average, consumers used only 32 per cent of the overall data plan amount. \u201cThe few that go over get massively stung,\u201d Gray said.\nWhile data overages were most common, using too many voice minutes actually cost users the most. On average, standard calls produced $43.12 in overage charges while excess data charges cost $22.18 and international calls cost $21.20.\nMacquarie University found that 55 per cent of the total bill shock was experienced by women. However, 56 per cent of data-overage bill shock was felt by men. Bill shock occurred most commonly (36 per cent) for people between ages 25 and 39. That age group on average paid nearly $38 extra from bill shock.\nAmaysim is seeing an \u201cexponential\u201d growth in data usage, with compound growth of 50 per cent per annum, Hansen said. Carriers are deploying 4G services that let users consume more data faster, he said. \u201cWith 4G, this will just go through the roof.\u201d\nIt\u2019s too early to tell the impact of 4G on the level of bill shock experienced by customers, Gray said. \u201cThat could be a future study.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Metals Consortium Achieves Re-Designation as a Manufacturing Community By U.S. Department of Commerce\nThe U.S. Department of Commerce announced that the Chicago region is one of 12 communities nationwide re-designated under the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP) initiative.\nThe new designation for the Chicago Metro Metal Consortium (CMMC) runs until 2018. The Chicago region was first designated in the inaugural round of IMCP in 2014.\nThe IMCP program provides support for communities to invest in manufacturing and increase international trade and export opportunities. To receive and maintain the designation, communities have to demonstrate the strength and potential for continued growth of an existing manufacturing sector.\nThe region\u2019s designation submission highlighted the large scope of the fabricated metal and machinery sectors in the metropolitan area which constitutes more than 4,000 firms, $25 billion in an annual revenue, and employment of more than 110,000 persons.\nAs an IMPC Community with preferential status, CMMC has leveraged more than $40 million in public and private resources directly impacting manufacturers in Illinois with a focus on strengthening the fabricated metal and machinery sectors.\n\"The CMMC represents an unprecedented regional collaboration between the seven counties of Northeastern Illinois (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry and Will) and the City of Chicago,\u201d said Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle. \u201cThe consortium works in conjunction with economic development organizations, academic institutions, workforce agencies and private sector businesses, all which are committed to supporting the local manufacturing ecosystem.\u201d\n\"As McHenry County\u2019s Board Chairman, the most impactful regional collaboration has been CMMC,\" said McHenry County Chairman Joe Gottemoller. \"We are stronger together and I look forward to even greater impact with the renewed designation.\"\nCMMC helps manufacturers grow their businesses through collaboration and networking, market intelligence and promotion. Highlights from CMMC\u2019s work over the past two years include:\nOrganizing, with its partners, four regional matchmaking events to identify new suppliers and end users involving 164 businesses, including 90 manufacturers and resulting in more than 400 connections.\nImpacting 173 metro Chicago-area manufacturers that report achieving a combined $279 million in sales increases, investments and cost savings, as well as creation of 400 and retention of 1,100 jobs.\nTargeted infrastructure improvements to support manufacturing. In Cook County, infrastructure investment totaling $60.2 million has positively impacted 2,011 nearby metals manufacturers with 31,000 employees.\nLaunching a Transatlantic Cluster Exchange with German American Chamber of Commerce to foster international research, technology exchanges, and cooperative projects.\nThis announcement coincides with the national celebration of Manufacturing Month.\nMembers of the consortium were pleased to see increasing interest and participation throughout the region on Manufacturing Day. For Manufacturing Month, in the Chicago region alone there are at least 43 events sponsored by 55 organizations. One such event, on October 5th, sponsored by the Calumet Green Manufacturing Partnership, had participation from 22 businesses and 22 schools.\nAlso on October 5th the Cook County Board approved a resolution supporting October as Manufacturing Awareness and Appreciation Month and recognizing the importance of manufacturing to the region.\nOther Manufacturing Month events included Manufacturing Matters, sponsored by the Illinois Alliance for Manufacturing, which featured Bruce Hettle, Group Vice President of Manufacturing and Labor Affairs as well as all of the region\u2019s County Board chairs.\nCMMC and its partners are sponsoring other events around the region.

        "title": "VOSviewer: Latest improvements and future plans",
        "raw_content": "VOSviewer: Latest improvements and future plans\nbibliometric network, software, visualization, VOSviewer\nToday VOSviewer version 1.6.5 has been released. This new version of our software tool for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks includes many improvements. In this blog post, we discuss some of the more important improvements. We also look ahead and discuss some anticipated future developments related to VOSviewer.\nImprovements in VOSviewer version 1.6.5\nPerhaps the most important improvement is the enhanced support for so-called overlay visualizations. These visualizations, in which colors are used to show for instance time trends or citation impact differences, have been made more prominently visible in the software. In earlier versions of VOSviewer, overlay visualizations were somewhat difficult to access. In the new version, overlay visualizations are presented on a separate Overlay Visualization tab (in between the well-known Network Visualization and Density Visualization tabs), making these visualizations much more easily accessible. In addition, when creating bibliometric networks (e.g., co-authorship or citation networks) based on, for instance, Web of Science or Scopus data, the new version of VOSviewer automatically provides a number of overlay visualizations. As an example, the screenshot below shows an overlay visualization of a co-authorship network constructed based on publications in Journal of Informetrics. (An interactive version of the visualization is available here.) In this visualization, the color of an author indicates the average year in which the publications of the author appeared. Mike Thelwall is for instance shown in yellow, while Leo Egghe is shown in blue, indicating that on average Egghe\u2019s publications in Journal of Informetrics are older than Thelwall\u2019s.\nOther improvements made in version 1.6.5 of VOSviewer include the use of the status bar to provide information on an item when hovering over the item in the visualization. The status bar presents various statistics on an item, such as the number of links with other items and the total strength of these links. Previously, the so-called information panel was used to provide information on items. Although this panel can still be used, it has been largely replaced by the status bar. In this way, more space has become available in the VOSviewer user interface for presenting the visualization of a bibliometric network.\nThe new version of VOSviewer also offers many new command line parameters. As requested by a number of VOSviewer users, command line parameters can now be used to create and save VOSviewer maps in a fully automated way. This is convenient especially when large numbers of maps need to be created.\nMany other smaller improvements have been made, for instance relating to the construction of bibliometric maps based on Web of Science and Scopus data, the support of the GML file format (which allows VOSviewer to exchange data with other network analysis tools, such as Gephi), and the visual quality of the density visualization. When downloading VOSviewer, a full list of all improvements that have been made is provided in the history file.\nExpanding user community\nThe use of VOSviewer keeps increasing. There are two main groups of VOSviewer users: (1) researchers who are interested in creating bibliometric visualizations of specific scientific fields or specific research topics and (2) people working at research institutions, research funders, and scientific publishers who use VOSviewer to support strategic decision making. Based on the feedback we receive from the VOSviewer user community, our impression is that both groups of users keep growing. In the case of the first group of users, a clear impression of this growth can be obtained by looking at the yearly number of publications in which VOSviewer is used. As can be seen in the graph presented below, the number of VOSviewer publications has grown exponentially since the first release of VOSviewer. In 2016, almost 100 VOSviewer publications have appeared so far.\nAn example of other interesting VOSviewer-related developments is the Automatic Identification of Research Trends (AIDA) project at Delft University of Technology. In this project, researchers are trained in the use of VOSviewer to support literature reviewing, proposal writing, and other related tasks. This is quite similar to the two-day VOSviewer course that we offer at CWTS once every year. The fifth edition of this course will take place on April 6 and 7, 2017. More information on the course is available here.\nAs developers of VOSviewer, we receive a lot of feedback on our software. In the development of the software, we try to take into account the most interesting and most important suggestions made by the VOSviewer user community. In the next version of the software, we expect to make further improvements to the interactive visualizations presented by the software. By adding more visual effects, we hope to further increase the value of the visualizations. We are also planning to make VOSviewer available as open source.\nIn the meantime, we are thinking about a longer term strategy for the development of VOSviewer. We are currently preparing the first plans for VOSviewer version 2.0. Our idea is that VOSviewer version 2.0 will offer support for very large networks (e.g., citation networks of millions of publications) and will be able to handle hierarchically organized networks using interactive \u2018drill down\u2019 functionality (similar to the 'drill down' feature available in our CitNetExplorer tool). Although VOSviewer\u2019s special focus on bibliometric networks will remain, we expect VOSviewer to gradually evolve toward a more general purpose network analysis and visualization tool.\nWe very much appreciate your feedback on VOSviewer. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, then please do not hesitate to contact us!\nkaushal November 7th, 2017 7:59 am\nI am not able to find \"Lines\" option in the \"options panel\" when I am opening vosviewer. Please help me. I have downloaded latest version. But still facing this problem.\nLudo Waltman November 11th, 2017 9:38 am\nIndeed the lines options are not shown when VOSviewer has just been started. They will be shown after you have created a map.\nAmitabh December 10th, 2017 1:32 pm\nthe Latest Version does not have the option of saving map file. earlier in 1.6.4 version it was easy to download the map data through CSV or Txt formats. any help in this regard? is their a way i you can provide link to 1.6.4 version?\nSaving map files is still possible in VOSviewer, also in the latest versions. You need to use the 'Save' button on the 'File' tab. Using this button, your map data is saved in a map file (a CSV or text file).\nAmitabh ANAND December 10th, 2017 3:26 pm\nIt works now perfectly. i can save the file in CSV. Thank you so much.",

I hadn\u2019t seen him in 6 years, and we chatted it up for a few minutes before my friend and I left to hop to another bar. A day or two went by, and I was still thinking about our simple interaction. I was feeling pretty ballsy, so I sent him a \u2018good to see you\u2019 Facebook message. He responded and we talked for a few hours and then he gave me his number. Exactly what I was looking for. We talked all day into the night about similar interests, hobbies, viewpoints on life, what we\u2019ve been doing with our lives since we graduated high school. Any time it took him longer than 10 minutes to respond, he would apologize for the delay, showing that he was interested and alert to when I was talking and what I was saying. We talked into the night until I fell asleep, and he presumably fell asleep as well, but I had sent the last text. The next day (today) I figured he would reach out and send me a text to chat a little more and catch up\nbut he didn\u2019t text me all day which I found strange. Usually when I talk to a guy and get along with them that well while being slightly flirtatious at the same time, they don\u2019t skip a beat. Considering how well and frequent our conversation went, I was actually pretty surprised he didn\u2019t try to contact me today. Is he playing the waiting game or something? He never seemed like the type of guy to bead around the bush. I don\u2019t want to overwhelm him and text him again since I already was the one to initiate contact. How long should it take for him to text me and if he doesn\u2019t, when is appropriate to text him without being overbearing/too interested. I don\u2019t want to scare him away.\nWith all this talking and catching up you guys did\u2026.did you ask him if he was married or in a relationship with someone??Maybe that could be the reason.

The visitors jumped out to a 11-4 early lead as Davis could not get going on the offensive end.\n\u201cOur starters came out a half a step slow in this one but I credit our bench for coming in and really setting the tone for the rest of the game. They flew around on the defensive end and were patient on offense and that got us going,\u201d said coach Dan Rathmell.\nThe Falcons held a slight lead at the half by a score of 37-35 and the game continued to be close in the second half. Kyree Sawyer kept Five Towns in the game as he scored 17 of his game high 27 points in the second half but eventually the Falcons depth proved to be too much for the visitors to keep up with. Davis used a run in which Jackson Henri (Miami, FL) and Corban Usry (Statesville, NC) took over the game to put the Falcons up 11 with 5 minutes to go. During the run Henri had multiple plays where he gathered the defensive rebound and initiated a fastbreak score for himself or a teammate and Usry used his speed to blow past opponents for easy finishes.\nUsry led the Falcons with 21 points on 9 of 15 shooting to go with 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals on the night. Henri ended the night with 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 steals. The Davis bench outscored the Five Towns bench 31-0 and was led by AJ Holmes (Macon, Georgia) who had 8 points and Danila Belov (Moscow, Russia) who contributed 7 points and 7 rebounds.\nThe Falcons (10-4) put their 8 game win streak on the line as they head to the College of New Rochelle for a Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference match-up on Friday at 8:00 p.m. New Rochelle is 9-7 on the season and 3-0 in conference play.\nPts: - Kyree Sawyer - 27\nReb: - Kyree Sawyer - 9\nAst: Corey Jacques - 5",

        "raw_content": "Constitutional Hydrotherapy\u2014A Cornerstone of The Art and Science of Naturopathic Medicine\nConstitutional Hydrotherapy is a versatile, and powerful treatment that is utilized by Naturopathic physicians in a manner that can be likened to the use of acupuncture in Classical and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although they are not the same, and are not interchangeable, the art of each relies upon an assessment of the health of different organs, and then the specific application of techniques to bring about balance to those organs and the entire body. Constitutional hydrotherapy combines alternating hot and cold towels to the front and back of the torso with physiotherapy devices in order to directly effect various organs or tissue states as well as systemically treat pathways of digestion and detoxification. So what is constitutional hydrotherapy, and how can it be used to transform your health?\nThe Basics: History, Evolution, and Overview\nHydrotherapy is one of the oldest methods of healing and has been utilized in most ancient cultures in some form or another for thousands of years. The basic definition of hydrotherapy is the use of water at various temperatures to create a therapeutic effect on the body. The modern evolution of Naturopathic Hydrotherapy began with the techniques of Father Sebastian Kneipp of Germany, and Vincent Priessnitz of Austria/Czech Republic. Kneipp and Priessnitz used hydrotherapy to heal themselves from major illness: Kneipp from Tuberculosis and Priessnitz from severely broken ribs. Each became internationally famous and attracted thousands of people to seek healing in their respective clinics. Their clinics were made especially famous when they achieved extraordinary rates of healing during Europe's most deadly disease epidemics. Priessnitz treated about 45,000 patients and only 45 (.1%) of them died during outbreaks of the epidemic diseases such as syphilis and smallpox that carried much higher death rates at the time.\nConstitutional hydrotherapy evolved out of these traditions when O.G. Carroll, ND pioneered a style of in-office hydrotherapy derived from Kneipp combining the use of hot and cold towels with modern physiotherapy devices.\nThe Secret of the Towels\u2014Circulating Fluid and Balancing the Nervous System\nIt may sound simple, but the placement of alternating hot and cold towels onto the torso carries effects to nearly every system in the body, and enhances the overall therapeutic goals of the holistic practitioner. Adding in the physiotherapy both improves and individualizes this treatment further. In a single one hour treatment, constitutional hydrotherapy enhances immunity (via the blood cells in the abdominal lymphatic tissue), improves digestion (by enhancing peristalsis via the nervous system, and increasing enzymatic output of the pancreas, gallbladder, and stomach), cleans and strengthens blood (by improving circulation through and the function of the organs of elimination, and adding in white blood cells), increases lymphatic circulation (via the pumping effect of the hot and cold towels and sine wave machine), and balances the tone of the autonomic nervous system (via the spinal and sensory reflexes caused by the hot and cold water and electrical stimulation).\nAll of that may sound impressive, and it is, but most important is that it all fits within a clinical theory of Naturopathic medicine that allows its effects to be cumulative, efficient, and targeted to your specific condition. A useful Naturopathic principle holds that health is proportional to both the nutritional quality and cleanliness (low in inflammation, oxidative stress, and maldigesested proteins) of the blood, and to the ability of the body to freely circulate the blood to all parts of the body evenly and efficiently. In other words a blood high in all of the nutritional and constructive elements and low in inflammation that can freely circulate equals health. The inverse of this is that in disease we often see an inflammatory blood of low nutritional quality that is unevenly circulated and therefore creates area of hypoxia and hyperemia (too little and too much blood, respectively).\nWhen you place a hot towel on the skin it brings the blood and other fluids up to the surface in order to maintain the body's homeostasis. When you follow this hot towel with a cool one it causes blood vessel constrict at the surface and the blood moves back down into the organs and center of the body. If you leave the cool towel on the skin the body will eventually move the warm blood back up to the surface in order to warm the towel. Therefore in the simple placement of two alternating towels you've created a oscillatory effect that moves the fluid outward and inward through a full cycle. This not only pushes blood through the liver, skin, kidneys and lungs, and but it restores balance to the abdominal organs via the autonomic nervous system. The last cold towel, in particular, causes a reflex that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which mediates the repair of the body, and digestion of food. It also pushes immune cells into the blood stream via the lymphatic tissue in the abdomen. This combination cleans the blood (via the organs of elimination), and strengthens the blood (via the white blood cells). And because of the action on the autonomic nervous system the body is able to continue the actions of the treatment long after it is completed.\nThe ability of the holistic practitioner to individualize the treatment lies in concomitant use of herbal medicines during the treatment, prescribed variation in sequence of the towel placement, and targeting specific organs and tissues with the physiotherapy devices.\nThe Use of Physiotherapy Devices\nA preamble: The very idea of using electrical devices as an important part of a \u201cnatural\u201d treatment can often rub people the wrong way before they even have a chance to experience it. The key thing to remember is that each of these devices is used in a way that facilitates our body's natural physiology in the same way that the hot and cold towels do. They can be likened to a gentle massage technique, all the while enhancing organ function without the need for two or three people to be working simultaneously. The bottom line: Give these a chance before you pass judgement\u2014they truly work wonders when used correctly. Physiotherapy devices such as Sine Wave, Diathermy, and High Frequency help to individualize the treatment based upon an assessment by the doctor of your organ system functioning.\nSine Wave\u2013 The Sine Wave is used with almost every hydrotherapy treatment. It is used in two different places at different stages of the treatment. In the first setting it influences the stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, and liver through a gentle sensory stimulation of the spinal nerves along the back. Then in the second setting it is placed on the abdomen to treat the kidneys through spinal reflexes. In this setting the pads can be placed in different areas to target different organs in the abdomen.\nDiathermy\u2013 The Short-Wave Diathermy unit is a favorite for patients. This device gives a sense of \u201cvelvety-warmth\u201d that is not only soothing but also very therapeutic. It can be used throughout the upper body and provides a deep heating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-spasmodic effect on the target area. The deep heating effect has been shown to increase the number of helpful immune cells in the blood, and can improve the oxygenation and detoxification in the treated area. These are some of the reasons why it is so helpful in all types of upper respiratory infections that occur this time of the year.\nHigh Frequency\u2013 This is a unique machine made from a coil that glows a purplish color from a high frequency, high voltage, but low amperage current. It is a very useful adjunctive treatment where there is acute inflammation or spasm. Therefore musculoskeletal pain and cramping, infection, tissue swelling, lymphatic stasis and many dermatological conditions often benefit from the use of the High Frequency device.\nThe Only Path to Knowledge is Experience\nThrough experience you will likely come to the only really important fact about constitutional hydrotherapy: it feels good. When combined with an individulized diet and lifestyle plan that provides the right nutrients and keeps inflammation low (so that the detoxification of the hydrotherapy doesn't have to be constantly playing catch-up), these treatments can have a remarkable impact on acute and chronic diseases. Hydrotherapy is an inexpensive, almost universally available, option that reaches truly impressive heights when prescribed by a well-trained holistic or Naturopathic practitioner.",

        "raw_content": "Brexit: Construction issues for consideration\nSummary \u2013 the key things you need to know\nThe construction industry relies on a steady flow of investment to keep the cash flow wheels turning. Uncertainty about how the mechanics of a Brexit will work and the nature of future trade agreements is already affecting investor confidence which might lead to reduced project investment.\nAvailable manpower is already an issue for the industry \u2013 and the prospect of workers' rights to free movement being restricted is likely to have a negative impact on recruitment, staffing and project costing within many construction businesses. It will also trigger an urgent need for training provision.\nWhile a comprehensive review of the UK legal system will be needed, laws and regulations affecting the construction industry are unlikely to change in the short term. Longer term, changes are likely if only to reduce perceived red tape. Given that EU and UK laws have been intertwined for 40 years, it is by no means clear what would happen to our current laws.\nThe UK's ultimate trade agreements post Brexit with both the EU and non-EU countries could have a significant impact on export and import costs and affect project costs.\nThe UK will remain subject to all EU laws and treaties during any negotiation period prior to a formal exit from the EU, and in the meantime, there will be uncertainty on a number of crucial issues affecting the construction industry including workers' rights to free movement and the nature of trade agreements.\nAn impending Brexit will affect projects throughout the wider construction industry in different ways depending on factors such as the sector, the investor and the type of project. For example:\nInfrastructure projects could see investment being withdrawn from key proposed projects while those under way could be mothballed.\nThe house building sector is just as difficult to call. The great need for housing and the attractiveness of the weak pound to foreign investors in the luxury market might just help those companies suffering the initial brunt of losses on the stock market to recover more quickly than expected. Some domestic house builders have even reported business as usual on new sales.\nRegeneration projects might be affected: the leaders of various large cities including Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow, have confirmed that Brexit will damage their regeneration plans. This is because foreign investment is likely to fall away. Also EU structural funding would end. Various council leaders issued a report on this issue: The importance of EU membership for the North (link courtesy of Construction News).\nStaffing issues and employment law\nBrexit is likely to give rise to multiple issues relating to the availability of staff and potential changes to employment law. This would particularly affect those businesses that rely on foreign labour.\nSkills issues and maintaining an adequate workforce for current and planned projects are of primary concern for construction businesses. Some businesses have already had to turn down work because of a lack of skilled workers. Brexit is likely to reduce the labour pool further.\nCurrently workers in the EU have a right to freedom of movement. If this right were to be restricted, the labour market in the UK would be affected. Fewer EU nationals could work in the UK. Those who did would probably have to obtain visas. EU workers might conclude it is too difficult to work in the UK and choose to work elsewhere in the EU.\nNo one yet knows what will happen to those EU nationals already working in the UK. Will they feel less secure in their jobs and start looking for work outside the UK? Will there be an amnesty to allow them to remain? Costs may have to rise as businesses pay more to keep current employees in work.\nIf there is an ensuing skills shortage, the construction industry would have to gear up its training provision to UK nationals. This would come at a cost and it will inevitably take time to have a meaningful effect on staff numbers.\nIndustry leaders have said UK construction could not survive without foreign labour (e.g. Mace's CO Gareth Lewis, CN 16.6.16.)\nSee also: \"Brexit would lead to shortage of construction staff, says Barratt boss\" (via The Guardian).\nUK staff might not be able to move so freely in the EU to work on projects in Europe.\nChanges to employment law are likely, although the extent of such changes \u2013 and which laws might be affected \u2013 can't yet be predicted.\nHowever, the UK government might agree some rights to freedom of movement for EU and UK workers in return for UK access to the EU's single market and more advantageous trade deals. Also, the mothballing of projects during the uncertain times ahead might actually reduce labour costs.\nIt is likely that the UK will have to renegotiate all its trade agreements with the EU and other countries. The construction industry's import/export trade with the EU is significant and necessary to maintain UK economic growth. Trade agreements will be crucial to protect this trade.\nDepending on the nature of these new relationships, tariffs could be imposed on goods and there could be a consequent increase in prices for imported goods as well as a decrease in demand for UK goods exported to the EU.\nSo far as exports are concerned, the Construction Products Regulation 2011 currently governs marketing construction goods in the EU. It would not apply after a Brexit, but EU importers could still \u2013 given their stronger negotiating position \u2013 demand compliance for goods we export. Businesses' trading relationships with their European trade partners and their trading terms and conditions could also be affected by the international trade agreements negotiated after Brexit. There may be a very significant increase in costs of imported material \u2013 in particular steel \u2013 due to the weakening of the pound.\nA substantial body of EU law that affects construction businesses is already enshrined in UK law, for example:\nThe Construction, Design and Management Regulations (CDM) are embedded in UK law. There will continue to be an obvious need for health and safety laws to remain in place despite a Brexit. There is little prospect of these laws being repealed in the short term although amendments may be made in the longer term.\nThe Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, which requires energy performance certificates for properties may be changed over time but probably not in the short term.\nGenerally speaking, the EU laws enshrined in UK law are likely to remain the same until a Brexit is effected. Some (possibly significant) changes to UK law are likely after a Brexit although the extent of such changes \u2013 and which laws might be affected \u2013 can't yet be predicted.\nEU procurement rules are a part of our laws in the UK and will stay the same unless repealed by the government. Whether they are repealed will depend on the trade agreements negotiated with the EU. Some changes are likely over time, and might affect not just how tender processes are handled but, potentially, also the chances of success for UK bidders in Europe and the scope for encouraging EU businesses to bid for work in the UK.\nIn practice, the uncertainties caused by the negotiations required to withdraw from the EU will place additional strategic burdens on procurement teams. While they might not be able to rely on their forecasting skills, they will need to create and implement new strategies for procuring new projects if they are to stand any hope of getting these projects off the ground \u2013 and secure a profit.\nThe exchange rate and financing issues\nBusinesses will need to factor in much higher possible exchange rate fluctuations when planning projects.\nConstruction businesses should also be aware that the downgrading of the UK's credit ratings might make finance harder to obtain. The Bank of England is likely to reduce interest rates to stimulate the economy but, in the short term at least, businesses might be nervous of taking on more debt given the pervading uncertainty.\nLaw stated as at 5 July 2016",

Water flow-back from hydraulic fracturing practices is a vexing problem encountered by those developing unconventional gas and oil resources worldwide.\nIn the Barnett Shale play in Texas, for instance, wells require from 5 to 7 MGD (19,000-26,000 m\u00b3/d) of water per well to stimulate gas production from the tight gas-containing formation. If treated to remove solids and other contaminants, much of this water can be reused, avoiding the competition with communities and agriculture for fresh water.\nThe research partnership with M-I SWACO will support advanced research in membrane separation at Texas A&M, says Burnett. His team is working on technology to selectively remove contaminants from oil and gas production wastewater.\nAgriculture | Membrane | Texas",

        "raw_content": "Do you have cords, wires, and adapters just sitting in a cupboard or drawer, with no purpose other than taking up space? Of course you do. The average person will replace old or broken devices, and find the new devices aren\u2019t compatible with the old cables, leaving them stuffed in a junk drawer or in a random box that they\u2019ve kept \u201cjust in case.\u201d Every home or business has the same scenario going on: lots of wires and cables left over from all the e-waste they have discarded over the years. If you want to get rid of your unwanted cables, here are a couple of tips on how to do so properly.\nThe first thing you\u2019ll want to do is take inventory of all of the cables, wires, and adapters you have to ensure that you aren\u2019t going to toss something that will have value to you. The notion you had when you didn\u2019t throw them out earlier could be the right one. For chargers and other adapters, you may want to keep some around that still have use. Smartphone chargers with USB Type-A and Type-C cords can be of use if you have guests since most smartphone adapters will work to charge other devices in common areas.\nDiscarding Unwanted Cables\nOnce you\u2019ve assessed the practical usability of the cords, wires, and adapters you\u2019ve collected, and removed the ones that have some function, contact the people around you to see if they could use them. Some people would love an extra charger to put in their gym or computer bag, or just to have around the house. This could go a long way toward getting rid of a majority of your older cables.\nAs for those cables, wires, and adapters that no one wants, and have no practical use for you, you should recycle them. At Digital Seattle, we recycle all types of hardware and connectors. If you can\u2019t make it to us, and would like to know where the closest recycling center to you is, you can call 1-800-Recycling or visit the National Center for Electronics Recycling website.\nIf you are looking at recycling your technology, give us a call at (206) 709-9556 and one of our technicians can help you get your old technology go where it needs to go.\nBest Practices Cables Wires",

        "raw_content": "Audi R8 e-tron laps Nurburgring in 8:09, sets record for electric cars\nBy\tStephen Edelstein\t@SAEdelstein \u2014 Posted on\tJuly 2, 2012 12:30PM PST 07.2.12 - 12:30PM PST\nAny sports car that wants to be taken seriously needs to do a timed lap of Germany\u2019s Nurburgring Nordschleife. That\u2019s why Audi brought its all-electric R8 e-tron to the \u201cGreen Hell\u201d to have a go. The electrified R8 went around the 12.92-mile course in eight minutes, nine seconds, setting a record for electric cars.\nA lap of the Nurburgring, where most car companies go to test their high performance models, is a great way to show that an electric sports car can stand up to the petrol-powered competition. Since the e-tron is based on a regular R8, it makes for a pretty direct point of comparison.\nHow did the electric machine stack up? With an exact time of 8:09.099, the R8 e-tron came in just behind its gasoline-powered counterpart. In 2007, an R8 with the 430 horsepower, 317 pound-foot V8 went around in 8:05, in an attempt supervised by Germany\u2019s Sport Auto magazine. A more powerful V10 R8 GT did a 7:34.\nTo turn an R8 into an e-tron, Audi removes that V8 and replaces it with two electric motors, making a combined 376 hp and 605 lb-ft. A t-shaped battery pack occupies the transmission tunnel and some space in front of the rear axle. The car weighs 3,924 pounds; a stock R8 4.2 weighs 3,605 lbs.\nThe production version of the R8 e-tron will have a limited top speed of 125 mph; for the Nurburgring run, Audi raised the top speed to 155 mph. With the lower speed limit engaged, the Audi lapped the track in 8:26.096. The e-tron\u2019s range is estimated at 134 miles, but probably not when driven at record-setting speeds. Luckily, the test car only needed to cover 12.92 miles.\nThe R8 e-tron clocked in just out of range of today\u2019s supercars, most of which can lap the track in under eight minutes. The 8:09 time puts the e-tron in the range of older supercars like the Ferrari F355 and Honda (Acura) NSX, or cushier GT cars like the Aston Martin DB9. The e-tron\u2019s time did set a world record for production electric vehicles at the Nurburgring.\nThe current record for a production-ready car, 7:11.57, is held by the Gumpert Apollo Speed, which has the same 4.2-liter V8 as the regular R8, albeit with much more power. Stretching the limits of \u201cproduction car\u201d is the Radical SR8LM, which clocked a 6:48 but has no roof or doors.\nAs Star Wars: The Old Republic continues to struggle, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Collection coming in July",

        "raw_content": "A substantial amount of research has recently pointed up the connection between oral health and systemic (whole-body) health. But recently, one study went a step further: It seems to show that having certain dental-health issues in middle age \u2014 for example, tooth loss and gum disease \u2014 could signal a deterioration in cognitive function.\nStudy author Gary Slade, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, summed it up: \u201cWe were interested to see if people with poor dental health had relatively poorer cognitive function, which is a technical term for how well people do with memory and with managing words and numbers,\u201d he said in an interview with U.S. News and World Report. \u201cWhat we found was that for every extra tooth that a person had lost or had removed, cognitive function went down a bit. The same was true [for] patients with severe gum disease.\u201d\nDoes this mean that losing teeth is a little like losing brain cells? Not really, because it isn\u2019t clear which condition occurred first\u2026 or even if one caused the other. For example, it could be that a poor diet is responsible for both poor dental health and a decline in cognitive ability; on the other hand, there could be a genetic link between both conditions. Or, it could simply mean that people with cognitive difficulties don\u2019t take good care of their teeth.\nStill, the association is intriguing \u2014 especially because it echoes some previous studies, which indicate that systemic inflammation could be a major cause of both problems. What\u2019s the oral-systemic connection? No one is exactly sure yet, but research suggests a relationship between periodontal disease and other diseases such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The common link may be bacteria: The same microorganisms that cause problems in the mouth might be able to spread through the body, producing a low-grade inflammation \u2014 one that\u2019s waiting for the right conditions to burst into fire.\nSo, should you rush out and grab everything off the drugstore\u2019s oral health products shelf? Well, we wouldn\u2019t necessarily go that far\u2026 but here\u2019s a more sensible suggestion: Take good care of your teeth and gums. Both tooth decay and periodontal disease can cause a number of problems with your health \u2014 yet both can be treated effectively\u2026 and they\u2019re largely preventable!\nIf you haven\u2019t visited our office in a while, why not come in for an exam? When you do, ask us what\u2019s the best way to keep your smile looking great and feeling clean and healthy. Our goal is to help you maintain proper oral hygiene \u2014 for life.

        "raw_content": "Katsuhiro Harada Talks Bringing VR to Tekken 7 and Tekken x Street Fighter\nRecently, Tekken 7\u2019s legendary game director Katsuhiro Harada sat down with IGN and spoke about how his team is handling PSVR support for the game, as well as provided an update on the current status of Tekken x Street Fighter.\nTalking about PSVR support, Harada-san fielded a question from a gamer that mentioned PSVR support being played in first-person. To which the director responded that a lot of people would assume that the game\u2019s PSVR support would be in first person, but actually this isn\u2019t the case. Harada-san mentions that he actually experimented with the first-person Tekken concept a few years ago when the team was first looking into VR, and according to the director, \u201cit\u2019s not as exciting as many people would think.\u201d Harada-san points out that the experience is not very fun, and when, for example, you\u2019re knocked up in the air for an aerial juggle, it\u2019s very jarring and again, not a lot of fun.\nAll of that being said, Harada-san explains with this previous knowledge that the PSVR experience being created is more tailored for Tekken itself, and that taking Tekken and adapting it to first-person VR wouldn\u2019t (and isn\u2019t) the best way to do it. According to the director, this is why the team ended up focusing more on the character elements, where you can customize your character and look at it from various angles. And in a battle with a CPU opponent, you can slow down the match and change the camera angle \u201cso you can see the game like you\u2019ve never seen it before.\u201d\nAs for Tekken x Street Fighter, Harada-san reiterates previous made points, simply stating that the timing is currently just not right. The director mentions that Capcom is currently busy with Street Fighter V and it (Bandai Namco) is currently busy with Tekken 7, and so the pair decided it was best not to split the audience around these two games with a third title. Thus, according to the director, it\u2019s more about the timing, \u201cand waiting for the right chance.\u201d\nAs for whether Tekken 7 will include more Street Fighter characters \u2014 it already includes Akuma \u2014 Harada-san says \u201cthat\u2019s tough to answer.\u201d According to him, Akuma\u2019s inclusion is something the team wanted years ago, and they knew they wanted him for a specific part of the game\u2019s story, and thus he was built into the game during its development. To add more Street Fighter characters would be \u201cdifficult.\u201d However, Harada-san doesn\u2019t rule it out entirely, and rather says there is currently no plans to add more, but it\u2019s not like they couldn\u2019t think up of ways to do it.\nTekken 7 is set to release on June 2, 2017 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.\nTekken 7 Has Sold More Than 2 Million Copies\nTekken 7 has sold more than two million copies. And thus I ask this: where are all the Panda players?\nTekken 7\u2019s First DLC Launches August 31st; Adds Ultimate Tekken Bowl and More\nTekken 7 Has Sold 1.66 Million Copies\nEliza Joins the Battle in Tekken 7 Today\nTekken 7\u2019s First Patch is Now Available on PS4; Hitting PC and Xbox One Next Week\nMedia Create: Tekken 7 and Nintendo Switch Top This Week\u2019s Japanese Sales Charts\nTekken 7 Claims No.1 on UK Sales Chart This Week; First Time for the Series Since 1998\nTekken 7 Out Today on PS4, Xbox One, and PC; Accompanied by an Official Launch Trailer",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Education Articles \u00bb Legal & Criminal Justice \u00bb Investigations Schools\nInvestigations Schools\nInvestigations represent an essential aspect of law enforcement that focuses on the process of researching and analyzing information to reach a conclusion regarding an individual\u2019s actions or possible criminal activities. Investigations schools aim to develop a broad understanding of the nature of crime, as well as regional justice systems and procedures. You will learn a number of key skills while earning your investigations degree at investigations school, including crime prevention techniques, intervention, investigation, and detection skills.\nInvestigations schools offer investigations degrees at a number of levels, including diplomas and post-graduate certificates. Investigations degrees usually take less than one year to complete, in addition to any required previous education. Completing investigations courses will help you enter a career in investigations or law enforcement, or it can expand on your experiences to improve the possibility of advancing in your current career.\nPost-graduate investigations degrees require you to complete a bachelor\u2019s degree in a related or unrelated field from an accredited educational institution. Some investigations schools require applicants to demonstrate relevant work experience, with coursework designed to build on this experience and develop advanced skills and training. Common investigations courses include: Interviewing and Investigation, Youth and the Law, Crime Prevention, Introduction to Law, Criminology, and Information Security. Other investigations courses build on these advanced skills by focusing on other relevant practical pursuits, such as physical fitness, work placements, and internships.\nAttending investigations schools opens up the possibility for you to earn a number of subsequent professional certifications, such as Private Investigator licenses, Basic Self Defense and Handcuffing, and Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Training. These certifications will enhance your employability and your earning potential.\nInvestigations schools offer both online and on-campus investigations degrees. There are advantages to either type of study. For example, online investigations degrees allow you to set the pace of your learning, which ensures that you will fully understand each topic before moving on to the next subject, while also strengthening your independent work skills. On-campus investigations schools provide an environment where you can put your theoretical coursework into practice while meeting and connecting with industry professionals. On-campus investigations schools often contain hands-on experiential learning components, such as police ride-alongs, applied research projects, and simulated crime labs.\nThe need for investigations school graduates is growing as security concerns increase, technology advances, and more advanced crime emerges. Your investigations degree will prepare you to combat the increasing likelihood of cyber-crime, financial fraud, internet scams, and identity theft. Your annual salary depends on your employer, your experience, and your level of education. For example, federally employed investigators can expect to earn an average annual salary of approximately $100 000, while locally employed investigators can expect to earn an average annual salary of $64 000. Private investigators often bill hourly and set their own rates, with rates varying by case. Private investigators can expect to earn an annual salary that ranges between $ 27 000 and $ 79 000. Many private investigators also choose to charge a retainer fee to compensate for cases that require fewer working hours.",

The site contains daily features, photo galleries and over 5,000 articles originally published in Weider\u2019s stable of periodicals.\nDesign: There is a lot going on here, and that can make things feel a bit cluttered. The site\u2019s layout is, however, relatively easy to follow. A main scroller cycles through the most recent content additions, followed by a section that leads to articles exclusive to the Web site.\nThere is heavy emphasis on getting users to subscribe to the print publications, but beyond the in-house advertising, HistoryNet is pretty simple to navigate.\nReview: As ad vertised, HistoryNet is a digital catchall for the Weider Group\u2019s print publications. As such, there is a wealth of content here spanning every conceivable angle of human history. U.S., European, Asian\u2014the entirety of recorded history appears in some way, shape or form.\nThe site puts a novel historical twist on current trending topics. One example is an interesting article about the historical home in which the popular television series \u201cDownton Abbey\u201d is set. The article goes into detail regarding the building\u2019s current owners and its place in English nobility.\nOther fun areas include the page dedicated to the current date in history, and the random history quiz generator.

Several members of staff have served the company for decades, further cultivating a familial environment, years after the retirement of the company\u2019s founding family members.\nMeet the frontline members of Elite Roofing, whose individual strengths, combined years of experience and passion for the industry make them the Greater Toronto Area\u2019s most Elite team in roofing.\nIsaac \u201cIke\u201d Glowinsky\nike@eliteroofing.com\nIke Glowinsky has loved the construction site for as far back as he can remember. After attending Ryerson University for Electronics, he made the decision to join Elite Roofing, his father\u2019s company, in 1961. Although roofing was a business he knew well from his family, he started at an entry level as a roofing labourer\u2014shoveling gravel and loading and unloading materials\u2014until he learned all aspects of the trade and began working his way up the ladder.\nToday, his job description includes customer relations and estimates; although, he views his most important responsibility as upholding the integrity of the business. Outside of the office and off the jobsite, he enjoys travelling the world with his wife Ruth of almost 50 years and spoiling their 9 grandchildren. He is also heavily involved in his Synagogue, a past president of B\u2019nai B\u2019rith Lodge and a volunteer for the Crohn\u2019s and Colitis Foundation of Canada.\nHoward Glowinsky\nhoward@eliteroofing.com\nA Chartered Accountant with a BA in Commerce and Finance from the University of Toronto, Howard Glowinsky decided if he was going to build a business, it would be his family\u2019s business. Howard joined Elite Roofing in 1995.\nHoward learned the roofing trade from his father, who fortunately, is still an active member of staff.

        "raw_content": "Many trustees\u2019 suspicion at the complex and speculative activities of hedge funds has faded in the face of disastrous equity returns. Three consecutive years of negative equity returns between 2000 and 2002 have left some trustees, in the words of National Association of Pension Funds investment council director Ken Ayers, \u201cdesperate\u201d for any asset class that can bring positive returns. The UK\u2019s largest pension funds have led the way, with the \u00ac\u00a326bn BT Pension Fund and the \u00ac\u00a318bn Electricity Supply Pension Scheme making their first hedge fund investments over the last year, while the \u00ac\u00a315bn Royal Mail Pension Plan and the \u00ac\u00a320bn Universities Superannuation Scheme are actively considering a move. A common way for pension funds to make their first hedge fund investment is to allocate 1 or 2% of their assets to it, increasing this once the trustees are comfortable with the way the investment works and performs. However, Mercer Investment Consulting senior investment consultant and hedge fund specialist, Robert Howie, points out that a pension fund is unlikely to see much benefit at such low levels. Howie says that only at allocations of between 5-15% will a pension fund notice the real benefits of boosted investment returns or true risk diversification. But allocations above 10% remain unusual for most pension funds and most experts believe that they will remain fixed at this level owing to limited capacity in the hedge fund industry. Put simply, some of the investment strategies taken will only work if relatively small amounts of money are used. This is true of one of the most easily understood hedge fund strategies; the long short equity fund. Here a manager will borrow shares from other investors and promptly sell them in the belief that their value will fall. Once this happens, the manager buys the shares back and returns them. This strategy is matched by an opposite position where the manager buys an equivalent amount in shares it believes are soon to rise in value. Other hedge fund strategies aim to profit from the anticipated market movement in shares of companies that are involved in mergers, acquisitions and restructuring. Some will take advantage of pricing anomalies in stock exchanges worldwide or cheaply buy the bonds of companies popularly believed to be on the verge of bankruptcy in the belief that it can be turned around. Owing to the numerous and complex nature of many hedge fund strategies the decision of choosing which hedge funds to invest in is usually left up to fund of fund managers. Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund Strategies\u2019 group co-head Europe, Hugh Lawson, says: \u201cNot all that many pension funds will have the internal resources to actively seek out and manage a portfolio of individual hedge funds \u2013 fund of hedge funds providers can meet that need. \u201cAlso many pension funds value sophisticated fund of funds as investment thought partners, so the benefits of working with them go beyond just simply the access to hedge funds, they are a valuable investing partner too.\u201d He adds that if a pension fund is looking to make allocations of between 5-10% in hedge funds, then it is important for this allocation to be diversified among many sectors of the hedge fund universe and that consequently a fund of funds is an efficient way to do this.",

        "raw_content": "The Ins and Outs of Inulin, a Food with Function\nSherril Sego, FNP-C, DNP\nInulin exerts substantial prebiotic actions\nHigh in fiber, inulin is a collective term for a large group of complex carbohydrates found in nature. Tasteless and odorless, inulin blends easily with fiber compounds and other nutrients. It has been popping up frequently as a component of nutritional supplements that claim to be weight loss aids. Because of its high physiologic utility, inulin is considered a \u201cfunctional food\u201d and is on the US Food and Drug Administration\u2019s list of Generally Recognized as Safe products.1\nInulin is composed of large numbers of fructose molecules\u2014up to several thousand strung end to end.2 A soluble dietary fiber, inulin is found in more than 36,000 plant species around the world,3,4 but most inulin is extracted from the chicory root. It has no color and no odor and has little taste.\nInulin exerts substantial prebiotic actions. It has been shown to stimulate growth of the Bifidobacterium species and Lactobacillus species both in vitro and in vivo, likely as a result of the low-level fermentation that occurs in the gut.5,6 Because of this action and its fiber component, inulin is beneficial for the maintenance of gut microflora, for maintenance of blood glucose and lipid homeostasis, and for immunomodulation.5 In addition, inulin has become the gold standard for measuring glomerular filtration rate because of its ability to resist enzyme degradation and reabsorption in the renal tubules.7\nA Bark with Benefits: What Is Slippery Elm?\nCan Cinnamon Supplements Help with Glycemic Control in T2DM?\nPsychedelic May Help with Smoking Cessation, Says Study\nInulin has shown promise in weight reduction as a strategy for those with prediabetes. Researchers randomly assigned 44 subjects to either inulin or plain cellulose supplementation8 and monitored them for weight loss as well as intrahepatocellular and intramyocellular fat and glucose levels. Although both groups lost nearly the same amount of weight by week 9, subjects taking inulin continued to lose weight throughout the following 9 weeks. The percentage of body fat reduced was nearly 3 times greater in the inulin group than in the cellulose group at the end of 18 weeks, and intrahepatocellular lipid levels in the inulin group were reduced nearly 5 times the rate found in the cellulose group.8\nIn another report, the influence of prebiotics and inulin on bowel movements was studied.9 A group of 38 women who underwent intra-abdominal radiation following surgery for gynecologic cancer was randomly assigned to receive either placebo (maltodextrin) or a prebiotic with inulin and fructo-oligosaccharide.9 Patients reported the number of bowel movements per day, the consistency of the bowel movements, and a self-rating of the quality-of-life indicators of insomnia and diarrhea. At the end of the study, which lasted from before beginning radiation therapy to 3 weeks after the last treatment, patients on the prebiotic formulation reported significantly improved scores regarding the number of days of watery stool, compared with the placebo group. The highest scores for quality of life measures were for insomnia and diarrhea in the placebo group but only for insomnia in the treatment group.\nDiabetes Diarrhea Endocrine Disorders Features Drug Gastrohepatic Disorders Metabolic Disorders Obesity\nClose more info about The Ins and Outs of Inulin, a Food with Function",

Goodhart-Rendel to describe works by those Gothic-Revival architects, addicted to Go, whose whose works were not marked by scholarship, serenity, or tact. Among the more celebrated \u2018Rogues\u2019 were E. Bassett Keeling, E. B. Lamb, S. S. Teulon, and George Truefitt (1824\u20131902), all practitioners, and Thomas Harris (1830\u20131900), whose Victorian Architecture (1860) and Examples of the Architecture of the Victorian Age (1862) earned him some opprobrium. Keeling and Lamb designed churches for the Evangelical persuasion\u2014both gloried in repetitive notchings and chamferings, expressed their roof-structures in an outlandish, restless way, and seemed to want to jar the eye with saw-toothed arrises, scissor-shaped trusses, and harsh, barbaric polychromy. Their almost frantic originality, debauched acrobatic Gothic, and elephantine compositions brought the wrath of the Ecclesiologists on their heads, and few have taken their work seriously ever since.

What makes this all the more notable is that he is not a comedian\u2014the one role in which Hollywood has usually allowed blacks to excel\u2014but a prodigious, creative, multifaceted talent who writes, directs, edits, and acts, a filmmaker who invites comparisons with American titans like Woody Allen, John Cassavetes, and Orson Welles.\nHis films, which deal with different facets of the black experience, are innovative and controversial even within the black community. Spike Lee refuses to be content with presenting blacks in their \"acceptable\" stereotypes: noble Poitiers demonstrating simple moral righteousness are nowhere to be found. Lee's characters are three-dimensional and often vulnerable to moral criticism. His first feature film, She's Gotta Have It, dealt with black sexuality, unapologetically supporting the heroine's promiscuity. His second film, School Daze, drawing heavily upon Lee's own experiences at Morehouse College, examined the black university experience and dealt with discrimination within the black community based on relative skin colors. His third film, Do the Right Thing, dealt with urban racial tensions and violence. His fourth film, Mo' Better Blues, dealt with black jazz and its milieu. His fifth film, Jungle Fever, dealt with interracial sexual relationships and their political implications, by no means taking the traditional, white liberal position that love should be color blind. His sixth film, Malcolm X, attempted no less than a panoramic portrait of the entire racial struggle in the United States, as seen through the life story of the controversial activist. Not until his seventh film, Crooklyn, primarily an autobiographical family remembrance of growing up in Brooklyn, did Spike Lee take a breath to deal with a simpler subject and theme.\nLee's breakthrough feature was She's Gotta Have It, an independent film budgeted at $175,000 and a striking box-office success: a film made by blacks for blacks which also attracted white audiences. She's Gotta Have It reflects the sensibilities of an already sophisticated filmmaker and harkens back to the early French New Wave in its exuberant embracing of bravura technique\u2014intertitles, black-and-white cinematography, a sense of improvisation, characters directly addressing the camera\u2014all wedded nevertheless to serious philosophical/sociological examination. The considerable comedy in She's Gotta Have It caused many critics to call Spike Lee the \"black Woody Allen,\" a label which would increasingly reveal itself as a rather simplistic, muddle-headed approbation, particularly as Lee's career developed. (Indeed, in his work's energy, style, eclecticism, and social commitment, he more resembles Martin Scorsese, a Lee mentor at the NYU film school.) Even to categorize Spike Lee as a black filmmaker is to denigrate his talent, since there are today virtually no American filmmakers (except Allen) with the ambitiousness and talent to write, direct, and perform in their own films. And Lee edits as well.\nDo the Right Thing, Lee's third full-length feature, is one of the director's most daring and controversial achievements, presenting one sweltering day which culminates in a riot in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. From its first images\u2014assailing jump cuts of a woman dancing frenetically to the rap \"Fight the Power\" while colored lights stylistically flash on a location ghetto block upon which Lee has constructed his set\u2014we know we are about to witness something deeply disturbing. The film's sound design is incredibly dense and complex, and the volume alarmingly high, as the film continues to assail us with tight close-ups, extreme angles, moving camera, colored lights, distorting lenses, and individual scenes directed like high operatic arias.\nImpressive, too, is the well-constructed screenplay, particularly the perceptively drawn Italian family at the center of the film who feel so besieged by the changing, predominantly black neighborhood around them. A variety of ethnic characters are drawn sympathetically, if unsentimentally; perhaps never in American cinema has a director so accurately presented the relationships among the American urban underclasses. Particularly shocking and honest is a scene in which catalogs of racial and ethnic epithets are shouted directly into the camera. The key scene in Do the Right Thing has the character of Mookie, played by Spike Lee, throwing a garbage can through a pizzeria window as a moral gesture which works to make the riot inevitable. The film ends with two quotations: one from Martin Luther King Jr., eschewing violence; the other from Malcolm X, rationalizing violence in certain circumstances.\nDo the Right Thing was one of the most controversial films of the last twenty years. Politically conservative commentators denounced the film, fearful it would incite inner-city violence. Despite widespread acclaim the film was snubbed at the Cannes Film Festival, outraging certain Cannes judges; despite the accolades of many critics' groups, the film was also largely snubbed by the Motion Picture Academy, receiving a nomination only for Spike Lee's screenplay and Danny Aiello's performance as the pizzeria owner.\nBoth Mo' Better Blues and the much underrated Crooklyn owe a lot to Spike Lee's appreciation of music, particularly as handed down to him by his father, the musician Bill Lee. Crooklyn is by far the gentler film, presenting Lee and his siblings' memories of growing up with Bill Lee and his mother. Typical of Spike Lee, the vision in Crooklyn is by no means a sentimental one, and the father comes across as a proud, if weak, man; talented, if failing in his musical career; loving his children, if not always strong enough to do the right thing for them. The mother, played masterfully by Alfre Woodard, is the stronger of the two personalities; and the film\u2014ending as it does with grief\u2014seems Spike Lee's version of Fellini's Amarcord. For a white audience, Crooklyn came as a revelation: the sight of black children watching cartoons, eating Trix cereal, playing hopscotch, and singing along with the Partridge family, seemed strange\u2014because the American cinema had so rarely (if ever?) shown a struggling black family so rooted in the popular-culture iconography to which all Americans could relate. Scene after scene is filled with humanity, such as the little girl stealing groceries rather than be embarrassed by using her mother's food stamps. Crooklyn's soundtrack, like so many other Spike Lee films, is unusually cacophonous, with everyone talking at once, and its improvisational style suggests Cassavetes or Scorsese. Lee's 1995 film, Clockers, which deals with drug dealing, disadvantage, and the young \"gangsta,\" was actually produced in conjunction with Scorsese, whose own work, particularly the seminal Meanstreets, Lee's work often recalls.\nAnother underrated film from Lee is Jungle Fever (1991). Taken for granted is how well the film communicates the African-American experience; more surprising is how persuasively and perceptively the film communicates the Italian-American experience, particularly working-class attitudes. Indeed, one looks in vain in the Hollywood cinema for an American director with a European background who presents blacks with as many insights as Lee presents his Italians. And certainly unforgettable, filmed expressively with nightmarish imagery, is the film's set-piece in which we enter a crack house and come to understand profoundly and horrifically the tremendous damage being done to a component of the African-American community by this plague. Jungle Fever, like Do the Right Thing, basically culminates in images of Ruby Dee screaming in horror and pain, a metaphor for black martyrdom and suffering.\nNevertheless, the most important film in the Spike Lee oeuvre (if not his best) is probably Malcolm X\u2014important because Lee himself campaigned for the film when it seemed it would be given to a white director, creating then an epic with the sweep and majesty of a David Lean and a clear political message of black empowerment. If the film on the whole seems less interesting than many of Lee's films (because there is less Lee there), the most typical Lee touches (such as the triumphant coda which enlists South African President Nelson Mandela to play himself and teach young blacks about racism and their future) seem among the film's most inspired and creative scenes. If more cautious and conservative, in some ways the film is also Lee's most ambitious: with dozens of characters, historical reconstructions, and the biggest budget in his entire career. Malcolm X proved definitively to fiscally conservative Hollywood studio executives that an African-American director could be trusted to direct a high-budget \"A film.\" The success of Malcolm X, coupled with the publicity machine supporting Spike Lee, helped a variety of young black directors\u2014like John Singleton, the Wayans brothers, and Mario Van Peebles\u2014all break through into mainstream Hollywood features.\nAnd indeed, Lee seems often to be virtually everywhere. On television interview shows he is called upon to comment on every issue relevant to black America: from the O. J. Simpson verdict to Louis Farrakhan and the Million Man March. In bookstores, his name can be found on a variety of published books on the making of his films, books created by his own public relations arm particularly so that others can read about the process, become empowered, find their own voices, and follow in Lee's filmic footsteps. On the basketball court, Lee can be found very publicly attending the New York Knicks' games. On MTV, he can be found in notable commercials for Nike basketball shoes. On college campuses, he can be found making highly publicized speeches on the issues of the day. And on the street, his influence can be seen even in fashion trends\u2014such as the ubiquitous \"X\" on a variety of clothing the year of Malcolm X's release. There may be no other American filmmaker working today who is so willing to take on all comers, so politically committed to make films which are consistently and unapologetically in-your-face. Striking, too, is that instead of taking his inspiration from other movies, as do the gaggle of Spielberg imitators, Lee takes his inspiration from real life\u2014whether the Howard Beach or Yusuf Hawkins incidents, in which white racists killed blacks, or his own autobiographical memories of growing up black in Brooklyn.\nAs Spike Lee has become a leading commentator on the cultural scene, there has been an explosion of Lee scholarship, not all of it laudatory: increasing voices attack Lee and his films for either homophobia, sexism, or anti-Semitism. Lee defends both his films and himself, pointing out that because characters espouse some of these values does not imply that he himself does, only that realistic portrayal of the world as it is has no place for political correctness. Still, some of the accusers point to examples which give pause: Lee's insistence on talking only to black journalists for stories about Malcolm X, but refusing to meet with a black journalist who was gay; the totally cartoonish portrait of the homosexual neighbor in Crooklyn, one of the few characters in that film who is given no positive traits to leaven the harsh criticism implied by Lee's treatment or to make him seem three-dimensional. Similar points have been made regarding Lee's attitudes toward Jews (particularly in Mo' Better Blues) and women. At one point, Lee even felt the need to defend himself in the New York Times in a letter to the editor titled, \"Why I Am Not an Anti-Semite.\"\nIf Malcolm X brought Lee more attention than ever before, the films he has made since brought critical and/or financial disappointment. Clockers starts powerfully enough with a close-up of a bullet hole and a montage of horrifically graphic images of violence victims. Although Clockers realistically evokes the world of adolescent cocaine dealers within the limited world of a Brooklyn housing project, Clockers ultimately reveals Lee to be either not particularly skillful at or not particularly interested in telling a traditional story. Girl 6 and Get on the Bus reveal similar attitudes toward dramatic narrative. A visually pyrotechnical examination of a fetching contradiction, Girl 6 presents a young black woman circumspect in her private life who nevertheless works as a phone-sex operator. Although not written by Spike Lee, this experimental work's flaccid narrative is pumped up by its stunning cinematography. The weirdest scene undoubtedly is a postmodern parody of the television show The Jeffersons; in certain regards Lee's multiple diegeses in Girl 6 suggest an imitation of Oliver Stone's controversial Natural Born Killers. Although startlingly inventive in the manner of Jean-Luc Godard, Girl 6 was destined, despite its florid subject, to frustrate a popular audience searching for simple coherence.\nGet on the Bus, like many of Lee's films, takes a real historical event as its inspiration: the Million Man March organized by Louis Farrakhan. A beautifully evocative credit sequence of a black man in chains cuts to a cross on a church in South Central Los Angeles\u2014certainly an ambiguous juxtaposition. In Get on the Bus, a variety of black men\u2014each representative of a different strain of the black experience\u2014must share a long, cross-country bus ride on their way to the Washington, D.C. march, a conception which recalls the classic American film \u00e0 th\u00e8se of the fifties (for instance, the Sidney Lumet/Reginald Rose Twelve Angry Men), where each metaphorical character is respectively given the spotlight, often through a moving monologue or dramatic scene, thus allowing the narrative to accrue a variety of psychological/sociological insights. Notably for the Lee oeuvre, Get on the Bus includes black gay lovers who are treated three-dimensionally (tellingly, only the black Republican is treated with total derision, thrown off the bus in a scene of comic relief). Like much of Lee's work, this film has a continuous impulse for music. And there is one stunning montage of beautiful ebony faces. Nevertheless, the ending of the film seems anti-climactic, because the characters never quite make it to the Million Man March\u2014a disappointing narrative choice perhaps dictated by Lee's low budget.\nHe Got Game, like many Lee films, seems meandering and a bit undisciplined, if with important themes: here, of father/son reconciliation, and the meaning of basketball within black culture. Indeed, never have basketball images been photographed so expressively; and apposite, parallel scenes of one-on-one father/son competition highlight the film. Like Accatone, where Pasolini used Bach on his soundtrack to ennoble his lower-class youth, Lee brilliantly uses the most American composer of all, the lyrical Aaron Copland. Summer of Sam likewise has some extraordinary elements, particularly Lee's perceptive anatomizing of the complicated sex lives of his Italian and African-American characters. Rarely, too, has a film so expressively evoked such a precise sense of place and time\u2014that chaotic summer when New York City was obsessed and terrified by the Son of Sam serial killer. Unfortunately, audiences were largely indifferent to Lee's interest in character and texture, disappointed that Summer of Sam did not offer a more traditional narrative focused on the killer and his sadism, in the typical Hollywood style.\nCuriously, one notes that Lee's documentary for HBO, 4 Little Girls, reveals some of the same problems as Lee's recent fiction career. A documentary on a powerfully compelling subject\u2014the four little girls killed in a church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama in 1963\u20144 Little Girls, though politically fascinating, is curiously slack, with its narrative as its weakest link, Lee failing to clearly differentiate his characters and not building suspensefully to a clear climax. Stronger are the film's individual parts: such as the killer's attorney characterizing Birmingham as \"a wonderful place to live and raise a family,\" while Lee shows us an image of a little child in full Klan regalia, hand-in-hand with a parent; or one parent's the memory of Martin Luther King Jr.'s memorable oration at the funeral\u2014\"Life is as hard as steel!\"\nAs Lee's career progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that his interest in political insight and the veracity of historical details is what impedes his ability to tell a story in the way the popular audience expects. Whereas Lee once seemed the most likely minority filmmaker to transform the Hollywood establishment, he now seems the filmmaker (like, perhaps Woody Allen) most perpetually in danger of losing his core audience. Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X were successful precisely because Lee was able to fuse popular forms and audience-pleasing entertainment with significant cultural commentary. Lee seems now to be making films which\u2014despite their ambitious subjects and sophisticated points-of-view\u2014disappear almost entirely off the cultural radar screen.\nInteresting, almost as an aside, is Lee's canny ability, particularly in his earlier films, to use certain catch phrases which helped both to attract and delight audiences. In She's Gotta Have It, there was the constant refrain uttered by Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon, \"Please baby, please baby, please baby, baby, baby, please. . . \"; in Do the Right Thing, the disc jockey's \"And that's the truth, Ruth.\" Notable also is the director's assembly\u2014in the style of Bergman and Chabrol and Woody Allen in their prime\u2014of a consistent stable of very talented collaborators, including his father, Bill Lee, as musical composer, production designer Wynn Thomas, producer Monty Ross, and cinematographer Ernest Dickerson, among others. Lee has also used many of the same actors from one film to another, including his sister Joie Lee, Wesley Snipes, Denzel Washington, John Turturro, Samuel L. Jackson, Ossie Davis, and Ruby Dee, helping to create a climate which propelled several to stardom and inspired a new wave of high-level attention to a variety of breakout African-American performers.\n\"Lee, Spike.\" International Dictionary of Films and Filmmakers. .

From his earliest days as a student filmmaker to his $33-million epic Malcolm X, Lee has shown a willingness to tackle prickly issues of relevance to the black community\u2014and has savored every ounce of controversy his films invariably produce. \u201cSpike loves to fight,\u201d the filmmaker\u2019s friend and business associate Nelson George told Vanity Fair. \u201cThere\u2019s a gleeful look he gets, a certain kind of excitement in his eyes when shit is being stirred up.\u201d \u201cI guess you could call me an instigator,\u201d Lee admitted in an interview with Vogue.\nAlthough the bane of Hollywood executives, Lee\u2019s delight in playing the provocateur has not only made his own films bankable, but has also created an industry-wide awareness of an untapped market niche. Following the unforseen box office success of Lee\u2019s earliest films, Hollywood\u2019s gates have opened to a new generation of young African American filmmakers. \u201cSpike put this trend in vogue,\u201d Warner Bros, executive vice president Mark Canton told Time. \u201cHis talent opened the door for others.\u201d Lee relishes his role as path-paver. \u201cEvery time there is a success,\u201d he explained to Ebony, \u201cit makes it easier for other blacks. The industry is more receptive than it has ever been for black films and black actors. We have so many stories to tell, but we can\u2019t do them all. We just need more black filmmakers.\u201d\nShelton Jackson Lee was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on the eve of the civil rights era. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, an area that would figure largely in his work as a mature filmmaker. Lee\u2019s awareness of his African American identity was established at an .early age. His mother, Jacquelyn, infected her children with a schoolteacher\u2019s enthusiasm for black art and literature. \u201cI was forced to read Langston Hughes, that kind of stuff,\u201d Lee told Vanity Fair. \u201cAnd I\u2019m glad my mother made me do that.\u201d His father, Bill, an accomplished jazz musician, introduced him to African American jazz and folk legends like Miles Davis and Odetta.\nBy the time he was old enough to attend school, the already independent Lee had earned the nickname his mother had given him as an infant, Spike\u2014an allusion to his toughness. When he and his siblings were offered the option of attending the predominantly white private school where his mother taught, Lee opted instead to go the public route, where he would be assured of the companionship of black peers. \u201cSpike used to point out the differences in our friends,\u201d\nBorn Shelton Jackson Lee, March 20, 1957, in Atlanta, GA; son of William (a musician and composer) and Jacquelyn (a teacher; maiden name, Shelton) Lee. Education: Morehouse College, B.A., 1979; New York University, M.F.A., 1982.\nScreenwriter, director, actor. Directed Joe\u2019s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads, 1982; launched Hollywood career with low-budget, black-and-white film She\u2019s Gotta Have It, 1986; also director of music videos and commercials for Nike, Levi-Strauss, and Diet Coke. Opened film production studio 40 Acres and a Mule, 1987, and first Spike\u2019s Joint promotional outlet, 1990.\nAwards: 1983 Motion Picture Arts and Sciences\u2019 Student Academy Award for Joe\u2019s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads; Cannes Film Festival\u2019s Prix de Jeunesse, 1986, for She\u2019s Gotta Have It; two Academy Award nominations for Do the Right Thing.\nAddresses: Office\u201440 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, 124 DeKalb Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11217.\nrecalled his sister Joie, who was a private school student. \u201cBy the time I was a senior,\u201d she told Mother Jones, \u201cI was being channeled into white colleges.\u201d Lee chose to go to his father\u2019s and grandfather\u2019s all-black alma mater, Morehouse College, where he majored in mass communication.\nIt was at Morehouse that Lee found his calling. Following his mother\u2019s unexpected death in 1977, Lee\u2019s friends tried to cheer him with frequent trips to the movies. He quickly became a fan of directors Bernardo Bertolucci, Martin Scorsese, and Akira Kurosawa. But it wasn\u2019t until he had seen Michael Cimino\u2019s Deer Hunter that Lee knew the die was cast. His friend John Wilson recalled their conversation on the ride home from the film in an interview with Vanity Fair. \u201cJohn I know what I want to do,\u201d Lee had said. \u201cI want to make films.\u201d But not just any films: Lee wanted to make films that would capture the black experience, and he was willing to do so by whatever means necessary. \u201cSpike didn\u2019t just want to get in the door of the house,\u201d Wilson explained. \u201cHe wanted to get in, rearrange the furniture\u2014then go back and publicize the password.\u201d\nLee pursued his passion at New York University, where he enrolled in the Tisch School of Arts graduate film program. One of only a handful of African American students, he wasted no time incurring the wrath of his instructors with his affinity for \u201crearranging the furniture.\u201d As his first-year project, Lee produced a ten-minute short, The Answer, in which a black screenwriter is assigned to remake D.W. Griffith\u2019s classic film The Birth of a Nation. The Answer was panned. Although the film program\u2019s director, Eleanor Hamerow, told the New York Times, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to redo Birth of a Nation in ten minutes,\u201d Lee suspected that his critics were offended by his digs at the legendary director\u2019s stereotypical portrayals of black characters. \u201cI was told I was whiskers away from being kicked out,\u201d he told Mother Jones. \u201cThey really didn\u2019t like me saying anything bad about D.W. Griffith, for sure.\u201d\nHardly deterred, Lee went on to produce a 45-minute film that won him the 1983 Motion Picture Arts and Sciences\u2019 Student Academy Award, Joe\u2019s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads. Although the honor enhanced his credibility as a director, it didn\u2019t pay the bills. Faced with the reality of survival, Lee worked for a movie distribution house cleaning and shipping film while hustling funds for a semi-autobiographical film, The Messenger.\nA coming-of-age story about a young bicycle messenger, The Messenger was aborted prematurely when sufficient funding failed to materialize. \u201cWe were in pre-production the entire summer of 1984, waiting on this money to come, and it never did,\u201d Lee told Vanity Fair. \u201cThen, finally, I pulled the plug. I let a lot of people down, crew members and actors that turned down work. I wasn\u2019t the most popular person. We were devastated.\u201d But all was not lost; Lee had learned his lesson. \u201cI saw I made the classic mistakes of a young filmmaker, to be overly ambitious, do something beyond my means and capabilities,\u201d he said. \u201cGoing through the fire just made me more hungry, more determined that I couldn\u2019t fail again.\u201d\nWhen he filmed She\u2019s Gotta Have It a year later, Lee\u2019s determination payed off. Made on a shoestring $175,000 budget in just twelve days, the black-and-white picture was shot on one location with a limited cast and edited on a rented machine in Lee\u2019s apartment. By the time it was completed, Lee was so deeply in debt that his processing lab threatened to auction off the film\u2019s negative.\nAfter Island Pictures agreed to distribute it, She\u2019s Gotta Have It finally opened in 1986. A light comedy centering on sex-loving artist Nola Darling and her relationships with three men, the film pokes fun at gender relations and offers an insightful spin on stereotypical macho male roles. It packed houses not only with the black audience Lee had anticipated, but also with a crossover, art-house crowd. Grossing over $7 million, the low-budget film was a surprise hit.\nWith the success of She\u2019s Gotta Have It, Lee became known in cinematic circles not only as a director, but also as a comic actor. Mars Blackmon\u2014one of Nola\u2019s rival lovers, played by Lee\u2014won an instant following with his now-famous line, \u201cPlease baby, please baby, please baby, baby, baby, please.\u201d \u201cAfter She\u2019s Gotta Have It, Spike could\u2019ve gone a long way with Mars Blackmon,\u201d the film\u2019s co-producer Monty Ross told Mother Jones. \u201cHe could\u2019ve done Mars Blackmon the Sequel, Mars Blackmon Part 5.\u201d Not anxious to be typecast, though, Lee \u201csaid to the studios \u2018Mars Blackmon is dead.\u2019\u201d\nWith a major hit under his belt and the backing of Island Pictures, Lee had more latitude with his next film, a musical called School Daze. An expos\u00e9 of color discrimination within the black community, School Daze draws on Lee\u2019s years at Morehouse. \u201cThe people with the money,\u201d he told the New York Times, \u201cmost of them have light skin. They have the Porsches, the B.M.W.\u2019s, the quote good hair unquote. The others, the kids from the rural south, have bad, kinky hair. When I was in school, we saw all this going on.\u201d This black caste system, Lee explained to Newsweek, was not a limited phenomenon. \u201cI used the black college as a microcosm of black life.\u201d\nSchool Daze created a brouhaha in the black community: while many applauded Lee\u2019s efforts to explore a complex social problem, others were offended by his willingness to \u201cair dirty laundry.\u201d Everyone agreed that the film was controversial. When production costs reached $4 million, Island Pictures got hot feet and pulled out. Within two days, Lee had arranged a deal with Columbia Pictures that included an additional $2 million in production costs. But Columbia, then under the direction of David Puttnam, apparently misunderstood the film\u2019s true nature. \u201cThey saw music, they saw dancing, they saw comedy,\u201d Lee told Mother Jones. By the time School Daze was released in 1988, Puttnam had been ousted. Despite the fact that the studio\u2019s new management failed to promote it, the film grossed $15 million.\nSchool Daze established Lee\u2019s reputation as a director ready to seize heady issues by the horns. Do the Right Thing, released in 1989, confirmed it. The story of simmering racial tension between Italian and African Americans in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, the film becomes a call to arms when violence erupts in response to the killing of a black man by white police officers. It ends on a note of seeming ambiguity with two irreconcilable quotes: Martin Luther King\u2019s, \u201cThe old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.\u201d followed by Malcolm X\u2019s, \u201cI am not against violence in self-defense. I don\u2019t even call it violence when it\u2019s self-defense. I call it intelligence.\u201d\nThe meaning of \u201cthe right thing,\u201d Lee told People, is not ambiguous. \u201cBlack America is tired of having their brothers and sisters murdered by the police for no reason other than being black.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not advocating violence,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m saying I can understand it. If the people are frustrated and feel oppressed and feel this is the only way they can act, I understand.\u201d\nCritical response to the film was both enthusiastic and wary. Media critic Roger Ebert called it \u201cthe most honest, complex and unblinking film I have ever seen about the subject of racism.\u201d Others voiced warnings of possible violence. New York magazine said, \u201cLee appears to be endorsing the outcome, and if some audiences go wild he\u2019s partly responsible.\u201d\nDespite the fact that Do the Right Thing failed to inspire the predicted violence, Lee chose a lighter topic for his next film\u2014a romance. The saga of a self-centered jazz trumpeter, Bleek Gilliam, whose personal life plays second fiddle to his music, \u201cMo\u2019 Better Blues is about relationships,\u201d Lee explained to Ebony, \u201cIt\u2019s not only about man-woman relationships, but about relationships in general\u2014Bleek\u2019s relationship to his father and his manager, and his relationship with two female friends. Bleek\u2019s true love is music, and he is trying to find the right balance.\u201d\nBleek\u2019s character was inspired by Lee\u2019s jazz-musician father, Bill Lee, who wrote the film\u2019s score. \u201cBleek is my father\u2019s nickname,\u201d Lee told People. The character\u2019s dilemma\u2014the need to temper the obsessive nature of the creative act\u2014however, has universal relevance. That theme, Newsweek suggested, is one with which the director himself can readily identify.\nAlthough recognized for its technical mastery and snappy score\u2014partially the result of a $10 million budget\u2014 Mo\u2019 Better Blues received tepid reviews. \u201cThe movie is all notions and no shape,\u201d said the New Yorker, \u201chard, fierce blowing rather than real music.\u201d And more than one critic took offense at Lee\u2019s shallow treatment of female characters and ethnic stereotyping of Jewish jazz club owners Moe and Josh Flatbush.\nIn his next film, Jungle Fever, Lee explored the theme of romance further\u2014but this time, from a more provocative slant. Inspired by the 1989 murder of black teenager Yusuf Hawkins by a mob of Italian-American youths, Jungle Fever examines the sexual mythology that surrounds interracial romance. \u201cYusuf was killed because they thought he was the black boyfriend of one of the girls in the neighborhood,\u201d Lee told Newsweek. \u201cWhat it comes down to is that white males have problems with black men\u2019s sexuality. It\u2019s as plain and simple as that. They think we\u2019ve got a hold on their women.\u201d\nJungle Fever looks at issues of race, class, and gender by focusing on community response to the office affair of a married, black architect and his Italian-American secretary. Lee concludes that interracial relationships are fueled by culturally based, stereotypical expectations. \u201cYou were curious about black\u2026 I was curious about white,\u201d the architect explains when the couple parts ways. But Lee insisted in an interview with Newsweek that the film does not advocate separatism. The characters aren\u2019t meant \u201cto represent every interracial couple. This is just one couple that came together because of sexual mythology.\u201d\nAlthough it received mixed reviews, Jungle Fever succeeded in whetting the appetite of Lee groupies for further controversy. Malcolm X, Lee\u2019s pi\u00e8ce de resistance, satisfied even the most voracious.\nSparking controversy from the moment of its inception, the making of Malcolm X became a personal mission for Lee, who had long been an admirer of the legendary black leader. Vowing to cut no corners, Lee planned a biographical film of epic proportions that required months of research, numerous interviews, and even an unprecedented trip to Saudi Arabia for authentic footage of Malcolm\u2019s pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca; taken shortly before his assassination in 1965, this journey that is said to have brought on a significant transformation in Malcolm\u2019s ideology.\nThe final product, a three-hour-and-21-minute production, traces Malcolm X\u2019s development from his impoverished, rural roots to his final years as an ever-evolving activist. \u201cI knew this was going to be the toughest thing I ever did,\u201d Lee told Time. \u201cThe film is huge in the canvas we had to cover and in the complexity of Malcolm X.\u201d\nLee fought tooth and nail to win the right to direct the film and to defend his vision of Malcolm X from the start. When he learned of plans by Warner Bros, to make Malcolm X, Norman Jewison had already been chosen as its director. After Lee told the New York Times that he had a \u201cbig problem\u201d with a white man directing the film, Jewison agreed to bow out.\nLee, however, faced considerable resistance to his role as director of the film. Led by poet and activist Amiri Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones), an ad hoc group that called itself the United Front to Preserve the Memory of Malcolm X and the Cultural Revolution voiced its opposition to Lee\u2019s direction in an open letter. \u201cOur distress about Spike\u2019s making a film on Malcolm is based on our analysis of the [exploitative] films he has already made,\u201d Ebony quoted the group as saying.\nBut Lee\u2019s spat with Baraka was only a momentary setback. He still had to deal with reworking an unsatisfactory script, which had been started by African American novelist James Baldwin shortly before his death and completed by writer Arnold Perl. And when Lee first locked horns with Warner Bros, over Malcolm X\u2019s budget, he was bracing for another prolonged battle.\nInitially, the director had requested $40 million for the film\u2014an amount that was necessary, he claimed, in order to accurately portray all of the phases of his subject\u2019s life. The studio countered with a $20-million offer, prompting Lee to raise an additional $8.5 million by selling foreign rights to the film, kick in a portion of his own $3-million salary, and, to make up the difference, acquire the backing of a host of black celebrities, including Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Janet Jackson, and Prince\u2014 much to the studio\u2019s embarrassment. \u201cIt didn\u2019t look good for Warner Bros, that Spike had to go to prominent African Americans to finish the movie,\u201d noted Entertainment Weekly. When the film was completed, Barry Reardon, the studio\u2019s president of distribution, conceded, \u201cSpike did a fabulous job. He knows theaters, he\u2019s very smart. This is Oscars all the way.\u201d\nAlthough Malcolm X received no Oscars, the film played a significant role in the elevation of the black leader to mythic status; it also spawned a cultural phenomenon often referred to as \u201cMalcolm-mania.\u201d By the time the movie was released, its logo, a bold \u201cX,\u201d was pasted on everything from a ubiquitous baseball cap to posters, postcards, and T-shirts. What\u2019s more, a plethora of spin-off products was born, ranging from serious scholarly studies to a plastic Malcolm X doll, complete with podium and audio cassette. Promotional merchandise for the film was marketed by Lee himself through Spike\u2019s Joint, a chain of stores that comprise a portion of the director\u2019s growing business empire.\nLee is quick to defend himself against charges of commercialism. In fact, he says, Malcolm X\u2019s philosophy\u2014that African Americans need to build their own economic base\u2014is the motivation for his business investments. \u201cI think we\u2019ve done more to hold ourselves back than anybody,\u201d Lee told Esquire. \u201cIf anybody\u2019s seen all my films, I put most of the blame on our shoulders and say, \u2018Look, we\u2019re gonna have to do for ourselves\u2019. . . I feel we really have to address our financial base as a people.\u201d\nLee\u2019s innate ability to \u201cdo for himself,\u201d his father suggested in an interview with Mother Jones, is the key to his success as a filmmaker. \u201cSpike was kind of chosen,\u201d he explained. \u201cI think there was something spiritual about it. He inherited it from his family. [The ability] to make a statement.\u201d Fellow filmmaker John Singleton, writing in Essence, said of Lee, \u201cNo other Black contemporary entertainer can claim to enlighten so many young Black people.\u201d But, as he stated in the New York Times, Lee wants even more to prove \u201cthat an all-black film directed by a black person can still be universal.\u201d\nIn mid-1993 Lee began shooting his seventh feature film, Crooklyn, a comic tribute to his childhood memories of life in Brooklyn in the 1970s.\nFilms: Screenwriter and director\nJoe\u2019s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads, 1982.\nShe\u2019s Gotta Have It, released by Island, 1986.\nSchool Daze, released by Columbia, 1988.\nDo the Right Thing, released by Universal Pictures, 1989.\nMo\u2019 Better Blues, released by Universal Pictures, 1990.\nJungle Fever, released by Universal Pictures, 1991.\n(Coauthor) Malcolm X, released by Wamer Bros., 1992.\nSpike Lee\u2019s Gotta Have It: Inside Guerilla Filmmaking, Simon & Schuster, 1987.\n(With Lisa Jones) Uplift the Race: The Construction of School Daze, Simon & Schuster, 1988.\nDo the Right Thing: The New Spike Lee Joint, Simon & Schuster, 1989.\nMo\u2019 Better Blues, Simon & Schuster, 1990.\nBy Any Means Necessary: The Trials and Tribulations of Making Malcolm X, Hyperion, 1992.\nAmerica, August 19, 1989; September 15, 1990; August 10, 1991.\nAmerican Film, July/August 1989; September 1989.\nAnn Arbor News, October 30, 1992; November 18, 1992.\nCommonweal, November 8, 1991.\nDetroit News, January 26, 1992.\nEbony, November 1991.\nEmerge, November 1991, pp. 28-32.\nEntertainment Weekly, November 27, 1992.\nEssence, November 1991, p. 64.\nFilm Comment, July/August 1989.\nMaclean\u2019s, February 17, 1992, p. 60.\nMother Jones, September 1989.\nMs., September/October 1991.\nNewsweek, February 15, 1988; August 6, 1990; June 10, 1991; February 3, 1992, p. 30; November 16, 1992, pp. 67-72.\nNew Yorker, August 13, 1990; June 17, 1991; October 12, 1992.\nNew York Times, August 9, 1987; November 15, 1992; November 29, 1992; December 6, 1992.\nPeople, July 10, 1989; March 5, 1990; August 13, 1990; June 22, 1992.\nRolling Stone, November 26, 1992, pp. 36-40, 80-81.\nTime, June 17, 1991; March 16, 1992.\nUpscale, October/November 1992.\nVanity Fair, June 1991, pp. 70, 80-92.\nVideo, February 1990; February 1991.\nVogue, August 1990.\n\u2014Nina Goldstein\n\"Lee, Spike 1957\u2013.\" Contemporary Black Biography. .

His mother, Jacquelyn, infected her children with a schoolteacher's enthusiasm for black art and literature. \"I was forced to read Langston Hughes, that kind of stuff,\" Lee told Vanity Fair. \"And I'm glad my mother made me do that.\" His father, Bill, an accomplished jazz musician, introduced him to African American jazz and folk legends like Miles Davis and Odetta.\nBy the time he was old enough to attend school, the already independent Lee had earned the nickname his mother had given him as an infant, Spike\u2014an allusion to his toughness. When he and his siblings were offered the option of attending the predominantly white private school where his mother taught, Lee opted instead to go the public route, where he would be assured of the companionship of black peers. \"Spike used to point out the differences in our friends,\" recalled his sister Joie, who was a private school student. \"By the time I was a senior,\" she told Mother Jones, \"I was being channeled into white colleges.\" Lee chose to go to his father's and grandfather's all-black alma mater, Morehouse College, where he majored in mass communication.\nIt was at Morehouse that Lee found his calling. Following his mother's unexpected death in 1977, Lee's friends tried to cheer him with frequent trips to the movies. He quickly became a fan of directors Bernardo Bertolucci, Martin Scorsese, and Akira Kurosawa. But it wasn't until he had seen Michael Cimino's Deer Hunter that Lee knew the die was cast. His friend John Wilson recalled their conversation on the ride home from the film in an interview with Vanity Fair. \"John, I know what I want to do,\" Lee had said. \"I want to make films.\" But not just any films: Lee wanted to make films that would capture the black experience, and he was willing to do so by whatever means necessary. \"Spike didn't just want to get in the door of the house,\" Wilson explained. \"He wanted to get in, rearrange the furniture\u2014 then go back and publicize the password.\"\nLee pursued his passion at New York University, where he enrolled in the Tisch School of Arts graduate film program. One of only a handful of African American students, he wasted no time incurring the wrath of his instructors with his affinity for \"rearranging the furniture.\" As his first-year project, Lee produced a ten-minute short, The Answer, in which a black screenwriter is assigned to remake D.W. Griffith's classic film The Birth of a Nation. The Answer was panned. Although the film program's director, Eleanor Hamerow, told the New York Times, \"it's hard to redo Birth of a Nation in ten minutes,\" Lee suspected that his critics were offended by his digs at the legendary director's stereotypical portrayals of black characters. \"I was told I was whiskers away from being kicked out,\" he told Mother Jones. \"They really didn't like me saying anything bad about D.W. Griffith, for sure.\"\nHardly deterred, Lee went on to produce a 45-minute film that won him the 1983 Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Student Academy Award, Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads. Although the honor enhanced his credibility as a director, it didn't pay the bills. Faced with the reality of survival, Lee worked for a movie distribution house cleaning and shipping film while hustling funds for a semi-auto-biographical film, The Messenger.\nA coming-of-age story about a young bicycle messenger, The Messenger was aborted prematurely when sufficient funding failed to materialize. \"We were in preproduction the entire summer of 1984, waiting on this money to come, and it never did,\" Lee told Vanity Fair. \"Then, finally, I pulled the plug. I let a lot of people down, crew members and actors that turned down work. I wasn't the most popular person. We were devastated.\" But all was not lost; Lee had learned his lesson. \"I saw I made the classic mistakes of a young filmmaker, to be overly ambitious, do something beyond my means and capabilities,\" he said. \"Going through the fire just made me more hungry, more determined that I couldn't fail again.\"\nScored a Surprise Hit with She's Gotta Have It\nWhen he filmed She's Gotta Have It a year later, Lee's determination payed off. Made on a shoestring $175,000 budget in just twelve days, the black-and-white picture was shot on one location with a limited cast and edited on a rented machine in Lee's apartment. By the time it was completed, Lee was so deeply in debt that his processing lab threatened to auction off the film's negative.\nAfter Island Pictures agreed to distribute it, She's Gotta Have It finally opened in 1986. A light comedy centering on sex-loving artist Nola Darling and her relationships with three men, the film pokes fun at gender relations and offers an insightful spin on stereotypical macho male roles. It packed houses not only with the black audience Lee had anticipated, but also with a crossover, art-house crowd. Grossing over $7 million, the low-budget film was a surprise hit.\nWith the success of She's Gotta Have It, Lee became known in cinematic circles not only as a director, but also as a comic actor. Mars Blackmon\u2014one of Nola's rival lovers, played by Lee\u2014won an instant following with his now-famous line, \"Please baby, please baby, please baby, baby, baby, please.\" \"After She's Gotta Have It, Spike could have gone a long way with Mars Blackmon,\" the film's co-producer Monty Ross told Mother Jones. \"He could've done Mars Blackmon the Sequel, Mars Blackmon Part 5. \" Not anxious to be typecast, though, Lee \"said to the studios 'Mars Blackmon is dead.\"'\nWith a major hit under his belt and the backing of Island Pictures, Lee had more latitude with his next film, a musical called School Daze. An expos\u00e9 of color discrimination within the black community, School Daze draws on Lee's years at Morehouse. \"The people with the money,\" he told the New York Times, \"most of them have light skin. They have the Porsches, the B.M.W.'s, the quote good hair unquote. The others, the kids from the rural south, have bad, kinky hair. When I was in school, we saw all this going on.\" This black caste system, Lee explained to Newsweek, was not a limited phenomenon. \"I used the black college as a microcosm of black life.\"\nSchool Daze created a brouhaha in the black community: while many applauded Lee's efforts to explore a complex social problem, others were offended by his willingness to \"air dirty laundry.\" Everyone agreed that the film was controversial. When production costs reached $4 million, Island Pictures got hot feet and pulled out. Within two days, Lee had arranged a deal with Columbia Pictures that included an additional $2 million in production costs. But Columbia, then under the direction of David Puttnam, apparently misunderstood the film's true nature. \"They saw music, they saw dancing, they saw comedy,\" Lee told Mother Jones. By the time School Daze was released in 1988, Puttnam had been ousted. Despite the fact that the studio's new management failed to promote it, the film grossed $15 million.\nSchool Daze established Lee's reputation as a director ready to seize heady issues by the horns. Do the Right Thing, released in 1989, confirmed it. The story of simmering racial tension between Italian and African Americans in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, the film becomes a call to arms when violence erupts in response to the killing of a black man by white police officers. It ends on a note of seeming ambiguity with two irreconcilable quotes: Martin Luther King Jr.'s, \"The old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.\" followed by Malcolm X's, \"I am not against violence in self-defense. I don't even call it violence when it's self-defense. I call it intelligence.\"\nThe meaning of \"the right thing,\" Lee told People, is not ambiguous. \"Black America is tired of having their brothers and sisters murdered by the police for no reason other than being black.\" \"I'm not advocating violence,\" he continued. \"I'm saying I can understand it. If the people are frustrated and feel oppressed and feel this is the only way they can act, I understand.\"\nCritical response to the film was both enthusiastic and wary. Media critic Roger Ebert called it \"the most honest, complex and unblinking film I have ever seen about the subject of racism.\" Others voiced warnings of possible violence. New York magazine said, \"Lee appears to be endorsing the outcome, and if some audiences go wild he's partly responsible.\"\nStriking a Balance: Mo' Better Blues\nDespite the fact that Do the Right Thing failed to inspire the predicted violence, Lee chose a lighter topic for his next film\u2014a romance. The saga of a self-centered jazz trumpeter, Bleek Gilliam, whose personal life plays second fiddle to his music, \"Mo' Better Blues is about relationships,\" Lee explained to Ebony. \"It's not only about man-woman relationships, but about relationships in general\u2014Bleek's relationship to his father and his manager, and his relationship with two female friends. Bleek's true love is music, and he is trying to find the right balance.\"\nBleek's character was inspired by Lee's jazz-musician father, Bill Lee, who wrote the film's score. \"Bleek is my father's nickname,\" Lee told People. The character's dilemma\u2014the need to temper the obsessive nature of the creative act\u2014however, has universal relevance. That theme, Newsweek suggested, is one with which the director himself can readily identify.\nAlthough recognized for its technical mastery and snappy score\u2014partially the result of a $10 million budget\u2014 Mo' Better Blues received tepid reviews. \"The movie is all notions and no shape,\" said the New Yorker, \"hard, fierce blowing rather than real music.\" And more than one critic took offense at Lee's shallow treatment of female characters and ethnic stereotyping of Jewish jazz club owners Moe and Josh Flatbush.\nIn his next film, Jungle Fever, Lee explored the theme of romance further\u2014but this time, from a more provocative slant. Inspired by the 1989 murder of black teenager Yusuf Hawkins by a mob of Italian-American youths, Jungle Fever examines the sexual mythology that surrounds interracial romance. \"Yusuf was killed because they thought he was the black boyfriend of one of the girls in the neighborhood,\" Lee told Newsweek. \"What it comes down to is that white males have problems with black men's sexuality. It's as plain and simple as that. They think we've got a hold on their women.\"\nJungle Fever looks at issues of race, class, and gender by focusing on community response to the office affair of a married, black architect and his Italian-American secretary. Lee concludes that interracial relationships are fueled by culturally based, stereotypical expectations. \"You were curious about black \u2026 I was curious about white,\" the architect explains when the couple parts ways. But Lee insisted in an interview with Newsweek that the film does not advocate separatism. The characters aren't meant \"to represent every interracial couple. This is just one couple that came together because of sexual mythology.\"\nAlthough it received mixed reviews, Jungle Fever succeeded in whetting the appetite of Lee groupies for further controversy. Malcolm X, Lee's pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance, satisfied even the most voracious.\nSparking controversy from the moment of its inception, the making of Malcolm X became a personal mission for Lee, who had long been an admirer of the legendary black leader. Vowing to cut no corners, Lee planned a biographical film of epic proportions that required months of research, numerous interviews, and even an unprecedented trip to Saudi Arabia for authentic footage of Malcolm's pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca; taken shortly before his assassination in 1965, this journey that is said to have brought on a significant transformation in Malcolm's ideology.\nThe final product, a three-hour-and-21-minute production, traces Malcolm X's development from his impoverished, rural roots to his final years as an ever-evolving activist. \"I knew this was going to be the toughest thing I ever did,\" Lee told Time. \"The film is huge in the canvas we had to cover and in the complexity of Malcolm X.\"\nLee fought tooth and nail to win the right to direct the film and to defend his vision of Malcolm X from the start. When he learned of plans by Warner Bros. to make Malcolm X, Norman Jewison had already been chosen as its director. After Lee told the New York Times that he had a \"big problem\" with a white man directing the film, Jewison agreed to bow out.\nLee, however, faced considerable resistance to his role as director of the film. Led by poet and activist Amiri Baraka (formerly Le Roi Jones), an ad hoc group that called itself the United Front to Preserve the Memory of Malcolm X and the Cultural Revolution voiced its opposition to Lee's direction in an open letter. \"Our distress about Spike's making a film on Malcolm is based on our analysis of the [exploitative] films he has already made,\" Ebony quoted the group as saying.\nBut Lee's spat with Baraka was only a momentary setback. He still had to deal with reworking an unsatisfactory script, which had been started by African American novelist James Baldwin shortly before his death and completed by writer Arnold Perl. And when Lee first locked horns with Warner Bros. over Malcolm X's budget, he was bracing for another prolonged battle.\nInitially, the director had requested $40 million for the film\u2014an amount that was necessary, he claimed, in order to accurately portray all of the phases of his subject's life. The studio countered with a $20-million offer, prompting Lee to raise an additional $8.5 million by selling foreign rights to the film, kick in a portion of his own $3-million salary, and, to make up the difference, acquire the backing of a host of black celebrities, including Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Janet Jackson, and Prince\u2014much to the studio's embarrassment. \"It didn't look good for Warner Bros. that Spike had to go to prominent African Americans to finish the movie,\" noted Entertainment Weekly. When the film was completed, Barry Reardon, the studio's president of distribution, conceded, \"Spike did a fabulous job. He knows theaters, he's very smart. This is Oscars all the way.\"\nAlthough Malcolm X received no Oscars, the film played a significant role in the elevation of the black leader to mythic status; it also spawned a cultural phenomenon often referred to as \"Malcolm-mania.\" By the time the movie was released, its logo, a bold \"X,\" was pasted on everything from a ubiquitous baseball cap to posters, postcards, and T-shirts. What's more, a plethora of spin-off products was born, ranging from serious scholarly studies to a plastic Malcolm X doll, complete with podium and audio cassette. Promotional merchandise for the film was marketed by Lee himself through Spike's Joint, a chain of stores that comprise a portion of the director's growing business empire.\nLee is quick to defend himself against charges of commercialism. In fact, he says, Malcolm X's philosophy\u2014that African Americans need to build their own economic base\u2014is the motivation for his business investments. \"I think we've done more to hold ourselves back than anybody,\" Lee told Esquire. \"If anybody's seen all my films, I put most of the blame on our shoulders and say, 'Look, we're gonna have to do for ourselves.' \u2026 I feel we really have to address our financial base as a people.\"\nLee is Married\nIn mid-1993 Lee began shooting his seventh feature film, Crooklyn, a comic tribute to his childhood memories of life in Brooklyn in the 1970s. He managed to take a break from filming, however, in order to marry Linette Lewis. Lewis, a lawyer, had been romantically linked to Lee for a year prior to their wedding. Crooklyn was released in 1994 to mixed reviews and a tepid reception at the box office.\nLee fared far better in 1995 with his next film, Clockers, an adaptation of Richard Price's inner-city novel. Clockers tells the story of two brothers who fall under suspicion of murder. One, a drug-dealer, was ordered to kill the victim by his supplier. The other, an upstanding family man, confesses to the crime, saying that he was attacked in the parking lot. On one level the movie unravels as a whodunit, yet ultimately the \"who matters less than the why.\" According to Richard Schickel of Time, \"[Clockers] is more than a murder mystery \u2026 At its best, it is an intense and complex portrait of an urban landscape on which the movies' gaze has not often fallen. Yes, this housing project is home to a feckless delinquent population. But it is also home to middle-class black families struggling to preserve their values.\u2026\"The film won outstanding reviews, with some criticsciting it as Lee's best work. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly wrote, \"Clockers is a work of staggering intelligence and emotional force\u2014a mosaic of broken dreams.\" Despite the positive critical reception, the film drew neither large audiences nor any Oscar nominations.\nIn Girl 6, released in 1996, Lee returned to the theme of female sexuality. The movie features an aspiring actress, who becomes so fed up with movie executive asking her for sexual favors, that she resorts to becoming a phone-sex worker in order to make ends meet. The screenplay was written by Suzan-Lori Parks, a respected African-American playwright. Despite her esteemed reputation, critics were disappointed with film's lack of insight into the heroine's character. Critical reception was lukewarm. Stanley Kauffmann of the New Republic wrote, \"Lee directs with as close to total lack of conviction as I have seen in a director whose convictions have carried him over some rough spots in the past.\"\nHis next film, Get on the Bus, focuses on an eclectic group of African American men riding a bus on their way to the Million Man March in Washington D.C. The men include homosexuals, a mixed race policeman, a Republican, and both young and old men. They learn to overcome their differences as they unite for the march. Get on the Bus, despite its low turnout in movie theaters and criticism by some African Americans, succeeds in capturing the spirit of the Million Man March. In 1997 Lee released 4 Little Girls, a documentary about the bombing of a Birmingham, Alabama church in 1963. A moving work about a hideous hate crime that claimed the lives of four young girls in their Sunday school, Lee interviewed family members as well as prominent spokespeople such as Coretta Scott King and Walter Cronkite in order to place the event in a broader context of American race relations.\nLee's innate ability to \"do for himself,\" his father suggested in an interview with Mother Jones, is the key to his success as a filmmaker. \"Spike was kind of chosen,\" he explained. \"I think there was something spiritual about it. He inherited it from his family. [The ability] to make a statement.\" Fellow filmmaker John Singleton, writing in Essence, said of Lee, \"No other Black contemporary entertainer can claim to enlighten so many young Black people.\" But, as he stated in the New York Times, Lee wants even more to prove \"that an all-black film directed by a black person can still be universal.\"\nJet, June 10, 1991; October 8, 1996.\nMaclean's, February 17, 1992, p. 60.\nVogue, August 1990. \u25a1\n\"Spike Lee.\" Encyclopedia of World Biography. .

From his earliest days as a student filmmaker, Lee has shown a willingness to tackle prickly issues of relevance to the African American community\u2014and has savored every ounce of controversy his films invariably produce. \u201cSpike loves to fight,\u201d the filmmaker\u2019s friend and business associate Nelson George told Vanity Fair. \u201cThere\u2019s a gleeful look he gets, a certain kind of excitement in his eyes when shit is being stirred up, he continued.\u201d \u201cI guess you could call me an instigator,\u201d Lee admitted in an interview with Vogue.\nAlthough the bane of Hollywood executives, Lee\u2019s delight in playing the provocateur has not only made his own films profitable, but has also created an industrywide awareness of an untapped market niche. Following the unforeseen box office success of Lee\u2019s earliest films, Hollywood\u2019s gates have opened to a new generation of young African American filmmakers. \u201cSpike put this trend in vogue,\u201d Warner Bros. executive vice president Mark Canton told Time. \u201cHis talent opened the door for others.\u201d Lee relishes his role as path-paver. \u201cEvery time there is a success,\u201d he explained to Ebony, \u201cit makes it easier for other blacks. The industry is more receptive than it has ever been for black films and black actors. We have so many stories to tell, but we can\u2019t do them all. We just need more black filmmakers,\u201d he added.\nShelton Jackson Lee was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 20, 1957. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, an area that would become the setting of many of his films. Lee\u2019s awareness of his African American heritage was established at an early age.

Following his mother\u2019s untimely death in 1977, Lee\u2019s friends tried to cheer him with frequent trips to the movies. He was greatly impressed with the work of directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci, Martin Scorsese, and Akira Kurosawa. However, it was not until he viewed Michael Cimino\u2019s The Deer Hunter that Lee realized that he wanted to become a filmmaker. His friend John Wilson recalled their conversation on the ride home from the film in an interview with Vanity Fair. \u201cJohn, I know what I want to do,\u201d Lee had said. \u201cI want to make films.\u201d Lee was determined to create films that captured the essence of the African American experience and was willing to produce them by any means necessary. \u201cSpike didn\u2019t just want to get in the door of the house,\u201d Wilson explained. \u201cHe wanted to get in, rearrange the furniture\u2014then go back and publicize the password.\u201d\nFollowing graduation from Morehouse College, Lee enrolled in New York University\u2019s Tisch School of Arts graduate film program. Before long, Lee clashed with his instructors. As his first-year film project, Lee produced a ten-minute short, The Answer, in which an African American screenwriter is assigned to remake legendary director D.W. Griffith\u2019s classic film The Birth of a Nation. The Answer was widely criticized by his instructors. Although the film program\u2019s director, Eleanor Hamerow, told the New York Times, \u201cit\u2019s hard to redo Birth of a Nation in ten minutes,\u201d Lee suspected that his critics were offended by his digs at Griffith\u2019s stereotypical portrayals of black characters. \u201cI was told I was whiskers away from being kicked out,\u201d he told Mother Jones. \u201cThey really didn\u2019t like me saying anything bad about D.W. Griffith, for sure.\u201d\nLee was unfazed by the criticism The Answer received and produced a 45-minute film entitled Joe\u2019s Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads. The film went on to earn Lee the 1983 Motion Picture Arts and Sciences\u2019 Student Academy Award. Although the honor enhanced Lee\u2019s credibility as a director, it didn\u2019t pay the bills. Faced with the need to survive, Lee worked for a movie distribution house cleaning and shipping film while raising funds for a semi-autobiographical film, The Messenger.\nLee\u2019s determination paid off when he filmed She\u2019s Gotta Have It in 1985. Completed in only 12 days and on a shoestring budget of $175,000, the black-and-white film was shot on one location with a limited cast and edited on a rented machine in Lee\u2019s apartment. By the time She\u2019s Gotta Have It was completed, Lee was so deeply in debt that his processing lab threatened to auction off the film\u2019s negative.\nAfter Island Pictures agreed to distribute it, She\u2019s Gotta Have It finally opened in theaters in 1986. A light comedy centering on sex-loving artist Nola Darling and her relationships with three men, the film pokes fun at gender relations and offers an insightful spin on stereotypical male roles. It was a hit not only with African American audiences, but also with crossover, art-house patrons. Grossing over $7 million dollars, the film was a surprise hit.\nWith a major hit under his belt and the backing of Island Pictures, Lee released his next film, School Daze, in 1988. An expos\u00e9 of color discrimination within the African American community, School Daze draws on Lee\u2019s years at Morehouse. \u201cThe people with the money,\u201d he told the New York Times, \u201cmost of them have light skin. They have the Porsches, the B.M.W.\u2019s, the quote good hair unquote. The others, the kids from the rural south, have bad, kinky hair. When I was in school, we saw all this going on.\u201d This black caste system, Lee explained to Newsweek, was not a limited phenomenon. \u201cI used the black college as a microcosm of black life.\u201d\nSchool Daze created controversy within the African American community. Although Lee was applauded for exploring a complex social problem, many people were offended by his willingness to \u201cair dirty laundry.\u201d When production costs ballooned to $4 million, Island Pictures pulled out of the project. Within two days, Lee had arranged a deal with Columbia Pictures that included an allowance for an additional $2 million in production costs. Although Columbia didn\u2019t actively promote School Daze, it still grossed $15 million.\nSchool Daze established Lee\u2019s reputation as a director who was willing to tackle controversial issues. He continued this trend with the release of Do the Right Thing in 1989. The story of simmering racial tensions between Italian and African Americans in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, Do the Right Thing becomes a call to arms when violence erupts in response to the killing of an African American man by white police officers. The meaning of \u201cthe right thing,\u201d Lee told People, is not ambiguous. \u201cBlack America is tired of having their brothers and sisters murdered by the police for no reason other than being black.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not advocating violence,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m saying I can understand it. If the people are frustrated and feel oppressed and feel this is the only way they can act, I understand.\u201d\nIn 1990, Lee chose a romantic theme for his next film, Mo\u2019 Better Blues. The film tells the story of a self-centered jazz trumpeter, Bleek Gilliam, whose personal life plays second fiddle to his music. \u201cMo\u2019 Better Blues is about relationships,\u201d Lee explained to Ebony. \u201cIt\u2019s not only about man-woman relationships, but about relationships in general\u2014Bleek\u2019s relationship to his father and his manager, and his relationship with two female friends. Bleek\u2019s true love is music, and he is trying to find the right balance.\u201d\nAlthough recognized for its technical mastery and snappy score, Mo\u2019 Better Blues received only tepid reviews. \u201cThe movie is all notions and no shape,\u201d said the New Yorker, \u201chard, fierce blowing rather than real music.\u201d More than one critic took offense at Lee\u2019s shallow treatment of female characters and the ethnic stereotyping of Jewish jazz club owners Moe and Josh Flatbush.\nIn his 1991 film, Jungle Fever, Lee explored the theme of romance from a more provocative slant. Inspired by the 1989 murder of black teenager Yusuf Hawkins by a mob of Italian American youths, Jungle Fever revolves around the office affair of a married, African American architect and his Italian American secretary. The film examines the sexual mythology that surrounds interracial romance. \u201cYusuf was killed because they thought he was the black boyfriend of one of the girls in the neighborhood,\u201d Lee told Newsweek. \u201cWhat it comes down to is that white males have problems with black men\u2019s sexuality. It\u2019s as plain and simple as that. They think we\u2019ve got a hold on their women.\u201d Although it received only mixed reviews, Jungle Fever set the stage for Lee\u2019s next controversial film, Malcolm X.\nThe filming of Malcolm X became a personal mission for Lee, who had long been an admirer of the legendary African American leader. He planned a biographical film of epic proportions that required months of research, numerous interviews, and even an unprecedented trip to Saudi Arabia for authentic footage of Malcolm\u2019s 1964 pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. The film, a three-hour-and-21-minute epic, traces Malcolm X\u2019s development from his impoverished, rural roots to his final years as an ever-evolving activist. \u201cI knew this was going to be the toughest thing I ever did,\u201d Lee told Time. \u201cThe film is huge in the canvas we had to cover and in the complexity of Malcolm X.\u201d\nAlthough Malcolm X received no Oscars, the film was a box office hit and played a significant role in the elevation of Malcolm X to mythic status. It also spawned a cultural phenomenon often referred to as \u201cMalcolm-mania.\u201d By the time the movie was released in 1992, its logo, a bold \u201cX,\u201d was pasted on everything from a ubiquitous baseball cap to posters, postcards, and T-shirts. In addition, a wide variety of spin-off products was born, ranging from serious scholarly studies to a plastic Malcolm X doll, complete with podium and audio cassette. Lee was quick to defend himself against charges of commercialism. He remarked that his merchandising of the film was in line with Malcolm X\u2019s own philosophy\u2014that African Americans need to build their own economic base\u2014\u201cI think we\u2019ve done more to hold ourselves back than anybody,\u201d Lee told Esquire. \u201cIf anybody\u2019s seen all my films, I put most of the blame on our shoulders and say, \u2018Look, we\u2019re gonna have to do for ourselves.\u2019\u2026 I feel we really have to address our financial base as a people.\u201d\nFollowing the success of Malcolm X, Lee fell into a moviemaking slump as his next three projects failed at the box office. His 1994 semi-autobiographical film Crooklyn grossed only $13.6 million, a poor showing when compared with Do the Right Thing and Jungle Fever, which made $28 million and $33 million, respectively. Crooklyn chronicled the everyday struggles of the Carmichaels, a middle-class African American family living in Brooklyn during the 1970s. Critics criticized the film\u2019s structure, which was based more on random incidents in the life of the family than on an actual plot.\nLee\u2019s 1995 film, Clockers, focused on a murder investigation in a New York City housing project. The plot revolved around a pair of African American brothers\u2014the older one is struggling to get out of poverty through honest means, while the younger works as one of a cadre of drug pushers known as \u201cclockers,\u201d because they work around the clock. The brothers become the focus of a murder investigation when the older brother confesses to a killing that the younger brother had been ordered to commit by a local drug lord. The movie did not fare well at the box office.\nIn 1996, Lee released Girl 6. This comedy starred Theresa Randle as an aspiring actress who becomes a phone-sex operator. Relishing the control she exerts over the men who call her, a control which is absent in her own life, Girl 6 becomes obsessed with her work. Critics widely panned the film and criticized its shallow depictions of women. Girl 6 also fizzled at the box office. That same year, Lee produced the film Get on the Bus. The plot revolved around a busload of African American men who are traveling to the historic Million Man March in Washington, D.C. Along the way, the men discuss issues such as manhood, religion, politics, and race. By the time they arrive in Washington, D.C. the men, once strangers, have become brothers and friends. Released one year after the Million Man March, the movie was a critical success although it did not receive widespread distribution.\nIn 1997, Lee released a documentary film 4 Little Girls. The chronicles the events leading up to the September 15, 1963 bombing of an African American church in Birmingham, Alabama by white racists. The bombing claimed the lives of four girls who were in the church at the time. The film, which included archival film footage, photographs, and interviews with people active in the civil rights movement, resurrected a painful chapter in American history and received favorable critical reviews.\nLee married his two great loves\u2014filmmaking and basketball\u2014for the 1998 movie He Got Game. The movie depicts the corruption and temptation which are the hallmarks of professional sports recruiting, as experienced by a high school basketball star, Jesus Shuttles-worth. Complicating the decisions surrounding Jesus\u2019 career is his convict-father, Jake, who has been temporarily released from jail on orders from the governor to convince Jesus to attend the governor\u2019s alma mater. Starring the popular actor Denzel Washington as Jake, and Milwaukee Bucks guard Ray Allen as Jesus, the film received favorable reviews.\nIn addition to filmmaking, Lee is an astute businessman. He has established Spike\u2019s Joint, a chain of apparel boutiques, in several cities and created his own record label, 40 Acres & A Mule Musicworks. He also owns a production company, 40 Acres & A Mule Filmworks. Lee also formed his own advertising agency, Spike/DDB, after partnering with the noted advertising agency, DDB Needham, in early 1997. He also authored Best Seat in the House: A Basketball Memoir, which was published in 1997.\nIn October of 1993, Lee married Tonya Linette Lewis after a brief courtship. Their daughter, Satchel, was born in 1994. In 1997, Tonya gave birth to their son, Jackson Lewis. The Lee family resides in New York City where Lee, a rabid basketball fan, is a regular spectator at New York Knicks basketball games.\nShe\u2019s Gotta Have It, Island, 1986.\nSchool Daze, Columbia, 1988.\nDo the Right Thing, Universal Pictures, 1989.\nMo\u2019 Better Blues, Universal Pictures, 1990.\nJungle Fever, Universal Pictures, 1991.\nMalcolm X, Warner Bros., 1992.\nCrooklyn, Universal Pictures, 1994.\nClockers, Universal Pictures, 1995.\nGirl 6, 20th Century Fox, 1996.\nGet on the Bus, Sony Pictures, 1996.\n4 Little Girls, 40 Acres and a Mule, 1997.\nHe Got Game, Buena Vista Pictures, 1998.\nBest Seat in the House: A Basketball Memoir, Random House, 1997.\nThe Nation, June 1, 1998, pp. 35-36.\nNewsweek, February 15, 1988; August 6, 1990; June 10, 1991; February 3, 1992, p. 30; November 16, 1992, pp. 67-72; April 22, 1996, p. 75.\nTime, June 17, 1991; March 16, 1992; September 18, 1995.\nWashington Post, March 22, 1996; October 18, 1996.\nAdditional information for this profile was obtained from the IAC Insite World-Wide Web site, http://web4.iacinsite.com/insite, and the CelebSite, last updated January 12, 1998, http://www.celebsite.com/ (accessed September 2, 1998).\n\u2014Nina Goldstein and Rebecca Parks\n\"Lee, Spike 1957\u2013.\" Contemporary Black Biography. .

He grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Lee's awareness of his African American identity was established at an early age. His mother, Jacquelyn, encouraged her children's enthusiasm for African American art and literature. She took her children to galleries, plays, and museums. Her position as a teacher at a private school was often the only income the family had. His father, Bill, was an accomplished jazz musician. Spike would sometimes go with his father to the clubs where he played.\nBy the time Lee was old enough to attend school, the already independent child had earned the nickname his mother had given him as an infant, Spike\u2014an indirect reference to his toughness. When he, his two younger brothers, and one younger sister were offered the option of attending the chiefly white private school where his mother taught, Lee chose instead to go to public school, where he would be assured the companionship of black peers. He graduated from John Dewey High School in Brooklyn. For college, Lee chose to go to the all-black college his father and grandfather had attended, Morehouse College, where he majored in mass communication.\nIt was at Morehouse that Lee found his calling. Following his mother's unexpected death in 1977, Lee's friends tried to cheer him with frequent trips to the movies. He quickly became a fan of directors and movies of that time and discovered that he wanted to make films that would capture the black experience, and he was willing to do so by whatever means necessary.\nLee pursued his passion at New York University (NYU), where he enrolled in the Tisch School of Arts graduate film program. He was one of only a handful of African American students. Lee went on to produce a forty-five-minute film that won him the 1983 Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Student Academy Award, Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads. Although the honor improved his credibility as a director, it did not pay the bills. Lee worked for a movie distribution house cleaning and shipping film.\nWhen Lee filmed She's Gotta Have It a year later, his determination to be a director paid off. After Island Pictures agreed to distribute the movie, it finally opened in 1986. A light comedy, She's Gotta Have It pokes fun at gender relations and offers an insightful spin on stereotypical macho male roles. It packed houses with African American audiences and with a crossover, art-house crowd. With the success of She's Gotta Have It, Lee became known in cinematic circles not only as a director, but also as a comic actor. He played a supporting role in the film and was tremendously popular as this character.\nLee next made a musical called School Daze. A film about color discrimination (treating people differently based on race, gender, or nationality) within the African American community, School Daze draws on Lee's years at Morehouse. He saw the lighter skinned African Americans as having the material possessions and polish that the southern, rural students did not have. This black caste (division of society) system, Lee explained to Newsweek, was not limited to just this collegiate set. Lee used it as a small sample of black life in general. School Daze created a commotion in the black community: while many applauded Lee's efforts to explore a complex social problem, others were offended by his willingness to \"air dirty laundry.\" Everyone agreed that the film was controversial.\nDo the Right Thing, released in 1989, confirmed Lee's reputation as someone willing to seize controversial issues by the horns. A story of simmering racial tension between Italian Americans and African Americans in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, the film becomes a call to arms when violence erupts in response to the killing of an African American man by white police officers. Critical response to the film was both enthusiastic and wary.\nLee chose a lighter topic for his next film\u2014a romance. The saga is about a self-centered jazz trumpeter, Bleek Gilliam, whose personal life plays second fiddle to his music. The movie explores the different relationships this man has with friends, family, and women. Bleek's character was inspired by Lee's jazz-musician father, Bill Lee, who wrote the film's score. Although recognized for its technical mastery and snappy score, Mo' Better Blues received unenthusiastic reviews.\nIn Jungle Fever, Lee's next film, he looks at issues of race, class, and gender by focusing on community response to the office affair of a married, black architect and his Italian American secretary. Lee concludes that interracial relationships are often fueled by culturally based, stereotypical expectations.\nSparking controversy from the beginning, the making of Malcolm X (1925\u20131965) became a personal mission for Lee, who had long been an admirer of the legendary African American leader. The film traces Malcolm X's development from his poor, rural roots to his final years as an activist. Lee worked hard to overcome many obstacles that threatened the creation of his masterpiece. His creative problem solving and dedication to the film were the forces behind its completion.\nAlthough Malcolm X received no Oscars, the film played a significant role in the elevation of the black leader to legendary status; it also spawned a cultural phenomenon often referred to as \"Malcolm-mania.\" Promotional merchandise for the film was marketed by Lee himself through Spike's Joint, a chain of stores that comprise a portion of the director's growing business empire.\nIn mid-1993 Lee began shooting his seventh feature film, Crooklyn, a comic tribute to his childhood memories of life in Brooklyn in the 1970s. He managed to take a break from filming, however, to marry Linette Lewis. Lewis, a lawyer, had been romantically linked to Lee for a year prior to their wedding. Crooklyn was released in 1994 to mixed reviews and a mild reception at the box office.\nLee fared far better in 1995 with his next film, Clockers. It tells the story of two brothers who fall under suspicion of murder. One, a drug dealer, had been ordered by his supplier to kill the victim. The other, an upstanding family man, confesses to the crime, saying that he was attacked in the parking lot. The film won outstanding reviews, with some critics citing it as Lee's best work.\nIn 1996 Lee released Get on the Bus, which focuses on a diverse group of African American men riding a bus on their way to the Million Man March (a rally organized in 1995 to celebrate the strength of the African American community) in Washington, D.C. They learn to overcome their differences as they unite for the march. Lee followed that film with 4 Little Girls, a documentary about the bombing of a Birmingham, Alabama, church in 1963, where four African American girls lost their lives.\nLee as a teacher\nLee works as an educator as well. He has taught at New York University and also at Harvard. In March of 2002 Lee became the artistic director of NYU's Kanbar Institute of Film and Television. He works with students on their thesis projects and helps them to make contacts in the entertainment field. Lee enjoys working with the students and challenges them to work hard.\n\"Fight the power,\" the theme song to his 1989 film Do the Right Thing, could easily be Spike Lee's personal motto. From his earliest days as a student filmmaker to his $33-million epic Malcolm X, Lee has shown a willingness to tackle prickly issues of significance to the African American community\u2014and has enjoyed the controversy his films produce.\nBernotas, Bob.

Atlanta, Ga. He gained recognition as a student at New York Univ. with his graduation film, Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads (1982). His films usually celebrate the richness of African-American culture and address such societal problems as racism, sexism, and narcotics addiction. She's Gotta Have It (1986), mainly about sexual relations and attitudes, established Lee as a commercially viable director. His Do the Right Thing (1989) presented the complexities and tensions behind interracial relations.\nMany of his subsequent films have been controversial\u2014Jungle Fever (1991), an exploration of interracial relations and attitudes; Malcolm X (1992), based on the life of the African-American leader; Clockers (1995), a violent portrait of life at the lowest reaches of the drug underworld; Girl 6 (1996), a high-spirited portrayal of a young woman in the phone sex business; and The Original Kings of Comedy (2000), a series of racially charged stand-up routines by four contemporary African-American comedians. He broke with his traditional style and subject matter to make Inside Man (2006), a polished heist movie.\nLee first turned to documentary with 4 Little Girls (1996), a moving study of the fatal 1963 bombing of a black church in Alabama. The made-for-TV When the Levees Broke (2006) documents Hurricane Katrina and its harrowing aftermath in New Orleans; If God Is Willing and da Creek Don't Rise (2010) is its sequel. His Oldboy (2013), a revenge story about a man kidnapped for 20 years then freed, is a remake of a 2003 South Korean film. Lee changed cinematic course again with Da Sweet Blood of Jesus (2015), a contemporary vampire tale set in Brooklyn and Martha's Vineyard and based on a 1973 Bill Gunn film.\n\"Lee, Spike.\" The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed.. .

His first feature, the stylish comedy She's Gotta Have It (1986), was a box-office success. Do the Right Thing (1989) was a bleak meditation on urban racism in the USA.

The oldest of five children, Lee grew up in Brooklyn, New York, with brothers David, Chris, and Cinque, and sister Joie. Lee's family environment was imbued with a strong sense of black history. Like his father and grandfather, Lee attended Morehouse College, and graduated with a B.A. in 1979. Upon graduating, Lee enrolled in New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where he received an M.F.A. in film production in 1983. While at New York University Lee produced several student films: The Answer (1980), Sarah (1981), and Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads (1982). Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop, his M.F.A. thesis film, was awarded a Student Academy Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1982, was broadcast by some public television stations, and received critical notice in Variety and the New York Times.\nLee has produced over two dozen films. In virtually all of the films he has been director, writer, actor, and producer. Lee's first feature-length film was the highly acclaimed comedy She's Gotta Have It (1986), which he shot in twelve days on location in Brooklyn at a cost of $175,000, financed partly by his grandmother. The film eventually grossed $8 million. The action of the film centers on a sexually liberated young black woman who is having affairs simultaneously with three men. Interspersed with these scenes, she and the film's characters debate her conduct from ideological perspectives then current in the black community; such topics as hip-hop, color differences, sexual codes, and interracial relationships are raised. This debate spilled over into the national media. Controversy was to become a hallmark of Lee's work. She's Gotta Have It is characterized by disjointed narrative syntax,\nmock-cinema verit\u00e9 technique, active camera movement, and disregard for autonomy of text. Lee has often employed the same actors and film technicians in many films, giving them a repertory effect.\nLee's second film, School Daze (1988), was financed by Columbia Pictures for $6.5 million and grossed more than $15 million. It also dealt with a controversial topic, the conflict at a southern black college between lightskinned students who seek assimilation into mainstream America and dark-skinned students who identify with Africa.\nIn 1989 Lee produced Do the Right Thing, which was set in Brooklyn. The film was produced for $6 million and grossed $30 million. Do the Right Thing focused on the relationship between an Italian-American family that operates a pizzeria in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood and the depressed black community that patronizes it. The film chronicles the racial tensions and events over a period of one day, climaxes in a riot in which one black youth is killed, and ends with the complete destruction of the pizzeria.\nThis highly successful film was followed by Mo' Better Blues (1990), the story of the love affairs, personal growth, and development of a jazz musician in New York City. Jungle Fever (1991), also set in New York, was Lee's treatment of interracial relationships, centering on an affair between a married black architect and his Italian-American secretary.\nLee's most ambitious film to date has been Malcolm X, which was released in November 1992. In this film Lee departed from his earlier technique and employed the traditional style and approach of the Hollywood epic biography. Produced by Warner Brothers, Malcolm X was three hours long and cost $34 million, though it had originally been budgeted for $28 million. By the end of 1994 it had grossed $48.1 million. In a highly publicized initiative, Lee raised part of the additional funds needed from black celebrities Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Earvin \"Magic\" Johnson, Michael Jordan, Janet Jackson, and Prince, among others. Denzel Washington, who portrayed Malcolm X, was nominated for an Academy Award as best actor. Lee based his film on an original screenplay, written by James Baldwin and Arnold Perl in 1968, that was based on The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told to Alex Haley.\nIn 1994 Lee collaborated with his siblings Joie and Cinque Lee in the production of Crooklyn, the story of a large, working-class black family growing up in Brooklyn.\nIn the following years, he continued to produce idiosyncratic and well-crafted films about the black experience. Get on the Bus (1996) celebrated the diversity and ideals of the Million Man March. Four Girls and a Church (1997) was a touching documentary about four girls murdered in a church bombing in Birmingham in 1963. He Got Game (1998) explored the relationship between a teenage basketball star and his estranged father. Major releases after the turn of the century include Bamboozled (2000), 25th Hour (2002), and She Hate Me (2004).\nSpike Lee's film career has generated a film company, Forty Acres and a Mule; a chain of retail outlets that sell paraphernalia from his films; and a series of television commercials, ten of them with basketball star Michael Jordan. He also serves as artistic director of the graduate division of the Kanbar Institute of Film and Television at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.\nSee also Film; Malcolm X\nArnold, Darren.

Lauthecourt, France, July 22, 1647; d. Paray-le-Monial, Oct. 17, 1690. Margaret was the fifth of seven children of Claude Alacoque, a royal notary, and Philiberte Lamyn. The family was esteemed by members of the nobility, whose names appear frequently as sponsors on the Baptism register. Margaret's education was limited to the training received in the home of her godmother and, after the death of her father, to the two years spent at the boarding school of the Urbanists, where she made her first Communion. Illness required her withdrawal, and the next 15 years were spent with her mother in painful dependence on nearby relatives. During this period, her attraction to suffering and her grace of contemplative prayer were intensified. On July 20, 1671, Margaret Mary entered Paray-le-Monial, and was professed Nov. 6 of the next year. Between 1673 and 1675 she received the revelations. The first commissioned her to spread devotion to the sacred heart; the second requested Communion and the holy hour of reparation; the last expressed a wish for a special feast day in honor of the Sacred Heart. Margaret Mary lived the devotion, and amid contradiction and opposition worked for its recognition within her order. The exterior apostolate was confided to the Jesuits, among whom Saint Claude de la colombi\u00c8re had been chosen to sanction the revelations. She was beatified by Pius IX, Sept. 18, 1864, and canonized by Benedict XV, May 13, 1920.\nFeast: Oct. 16.\nBibliography: m. m. alacoque, Letters, tr. c. a. herbst (Chicago 1954); The Autobiography, tr. v. kerns (Westminster, Md. 1961); Vie et oeuvres de sainte Marguerite-Marie Alacoque, ed. r. darricau, 2 vols.

        "raw_content": "Home Religion Encyclopedias almanacs transcripts and maps Bourdaloue, Louis\nFrench Jesuit preacher who brought the classic sermon to its most perfect oratorical technique; b. Bourges, France, Aug. 20, 1632; d. Paris, May 13, 1704. Bourdaloue, of a distinguished, although not wealthy, family, entered\nthe Society of Jesus in 1648 at the age of 17. After completing his studies, he became a professor of philosophy and later, of moral theology. When he showed special talent for oratory, he was asked to dedicate himself to preaching. He began preaching in Amiens in 1665 and later went to Orl\u00e9ans and Rouen. In 1669 he was sent to Paris where he preached for 34 consecutive years, each year with greater success, until the end of his life.\nIn eloquence, Bourdaloue ranked with the great masters of style in the most splendid part of Louis XIV's reign. He was hailed as the \"king of orators and the orator of kings.\" Bourdaloue used two exordiums: the first, more general, beginning adroitly with the text of the subject matter of the sermon and ending with a Hail Mary; the second, more detailed and specific, presenting the doctrine in three different manners. The body of the discourse was divided into three points: exposition of the doctrine found in Scripture and the Fathers of the Church, the moral to be drawn from the doctrine, and the portrayal of worldly Christians whose lives were at variance with the moral doctrine with which he was concerned. Each of these three points was further subdivided into three parts. F\u00e9nelon and La Bruy\u00e8re vigorously criticized Bourdaloue's method as rigidly and arbitrarily mechanical, but admitted that it was useful as a memory aid for the speaker and the listeners.\nBourdaloue was most effective in the moral sermons in which he manifested a remarkable delicacy of balance. For him, Christian morality was just as free from excessive rigors as it was from any culpable indulgence. Sainte-Beuve considered his sermons the best refutations of Pascal's Lettres Provinciales.\nHe was masterly in his analysis of the human heart and was able to draw strikingly true word portraits. No doubt the 17th century taste for moral analysis accounted for much of his success. His reasoning was rigorous, and he habitually sought to convince his auditors. In this, he was adapting himself to an audience that, though irresponsive to other appeals because of its worldliness and frivolity, showed great esteem for reason. His personal saintliness and gentleness contributed to his influence. While always duly respectful to the great, he was also simple and devoted to the poor. He was always ready to hear confessions and exerted a wonderful power at deathbeds, especially those of hardened sinners.\nBourdaloue won a place for himself in French literature. F\u00e9nelon said that his style \"had perhaps arrived at the perfection of which our language is capable in that kind of eloquence.\" Sainte-Beuve wrote, \"He was a good orator and is a good writer.\" Voltaire claimed that he was superior to Bossuet.\nBibliography: l. bourdaloue, Sermons, ed. f. bretonneau, 16 v.

        "title": "What is the Shellshock Bash bug and why does it matter?",
        "raw_content": "Latest in Bash\nMicrosoft will offer 3 flavors of Linux in the Windows Store\nMan erases thousands of websites with a bad command (update: it's a joke)\nWatch Microsoft's opening-day Build keynote in just 10 minutes\nLinux command-line tools are coming to Windows 10\nWhat is the Shellshock Bash bug and why does it matter?\nJose Andrade, @jandrade\nBy now you may have heard about a new bug found in the Bash shell. And unless you're a programmer or security expert, you're probably wondering if you should really worry. The short answer is: Don't panic, but you should definitely learn more about it, because you may be in contact with vulnerable devices.\nThis bug, baptized \"Shellshock\" by Security Researchers, affects the Unix command shell \"Bash,\" which happens to be one of the most common applications in those systems. That includes any machine running Mac OS X or Linux. The \"shell\" or \"command prompt\" is a piece of software that allows a computer to interact with the outside (you) by interpreting text. This vulnerability affects the shell known as Bash (Bourne Again SHell), which is installed not only on computers, but also on many devices (smart locks, cameras, storage and multimedia appliances, etc.) that use a subset of Linux.\nThe bug is a little hard to explain without getting technical and mentioning some programming terminology, but bear with us, because it's not difficult to understand. Basically, an attacker can run code by simply asking for basic information from your computer, a server or an \"internet of things\" (IoT) device. Now, your computer is most likely unaffected because you are (and should be) running a firewall and blocking external requests not initiated locally by the software already authorized to run, but servers and IoT devices are a different issue.\nLet's start with your computer. If you have a Mac OS X or Linux system, open the Terminal and run this line of code:\nenv x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c 'echo this is a test'\nIf you see the word \"vulnerable\" as an answer, your system is, well... vulnerable.\nYour Bash shell is simply running more code after a function (the \"() { :;};\" part), and that shouldn't be happening. The function is the \"allowed\" code, while everything after it is where the potentially \"malicious\" code could be installed.\nWhat can an attacker do?\nThe remote execution (over the internet or a network) of extra code could let an attacker load malware on a system and steal private information, delete files, activate your camera, open a lock and, well, do pretty much anything with a little know-how. However, as we mentioned, this is not something that should matter much on a user's computer with a working firewall, because it hasn't been proven possible to take advantage of the bug under that scenario.\nA server, well, that's a completely different story, because a server has to listen to requests in order to \"serve\" (pun intended) its purpose. This means that by requesting almost any data and running malicious code, an attacker can infect any affected server, which is about 60 percent of web servers out on the internet, most routers (even your home router) and many consumer devices (including security cameras and \"smart\" appliances -- which don't seem so smart right about now). This is because smart appliances are a form of servers.\nHow can this problem be solved?\nIt's super simple to solve this problem. Many software developers have already issued patches and more are being released by the hour. Two of the most popular Linux distributions, Red Hat and Ubuntu, already have patches available, and we suspect Apple will soon release its fix. Updating a system takes almost no time. It's a simple process and it's a common task for most users. The problem is with systems that are not often updated. For example: It's not very common to update the software on your router, and even less common to update something like a door lock, a light switch or a security camera.\nThe internet of things complicates the situation because there are many more devices that should be updated, and for some, the manufacturers may not even issue patches. However, most of the devices are configured to function in a secure manner, behind a firewall. Regardless, if you suspect your \"things\" use a version of Linux (and there's a really good chance they do), we recommend you check for updates and even inquire about them from the manufacturer.\nThe bottom line is: this is a serious bug, but patches are available and should be installed promptly. But, there's no doubt we'll be hearing plenty more about Shellshock and the problems it can cause in the coming days and weeks -- especially since it's gone unnoticed for around 25 years. There's a lot of holes out there to patch.\nUpdate: In a statement to iMore, an Apple representative said \"the vast majority of OS X users are not at risk...With OS X, systems are safe by default and not exposed to remote exploits of bash unless users configure advanced UNIX services.\" According to Apple, there is a patch coming soon for those users who could be exposed.\nCoverage: Troy Hunt, RedHat, Ubuntu, Errata Security\nIn this article: bash, bug, column, linux, os x, security, shell, shellshock, unix",

In addition, critical to the provision of high-quality care is the availability of well-trained, skilled, motivated, and supported staff who are performing to established standards and providing services that are accessible, acceptable, and accountable to the clients and communities they serve.\nEffective training, supervision, logistics, and referral systems are essential for the delivery of high-quality services. Program managers may need to address the organization of work and service integration, as well as explore public-private partnerships. At the facility level, or for community-based or mobile services, infrastructure may need to be upgraded and the reliable and sustained availability of commodities, equipment, and supplies ensured. Staff must be of adequate number, motivated to provide quality services, and enabled (through managerial support and proper infrastructure) to manage services effectively.\nAdministrative, financial, and management systems also need to be in place, with administrators focused on evidence-based medicine and the use of data for decision making to improve service quality and plan and manage programs. Further, to ensure quality, health services should be strongly linked with and accountable to the communities they serve. Communities can also be valuable partners in defining and maintaining quality services when given opportunities to participate in overseeing and managing health services.",

Distinctive capabilities. 5\nArchitecture, 5\nGeneral Company Overview\nKraft foods group is a renowned international food, beverage and confectionery manufacturer. The company headquarters are in suburbs of Chicago, Northfield, Illinois. It also has its European headquarters in Switzerland, at Glattpark, a region near Zurich. Kraft is a major company in the snaking industry serving over 700 million people worldwide. Kraft is renowned to have a wide range of categories and brands within the snacking industry. Kraft Foods Europe mainly deals with five major categories of products, which are; Cheese & Grocery, Gum & Candy, Coffee, and Biscuits. In these five categories, Kraft foods have over 25 established brands. Some of these brands include; Trident and Halls, Jacobs and Kenco, Tassimo, Milka biscuits and C\u00f4te d\u2019Or biscuits, Toblerone, and Philadelphia.\nThe Company\u2019s physical resources are allocated under following segments both in Europe and United States. It is also worth to note that Kraft makes most of its sales in 17 countries. The corporation has 60 manufacturing facilities with 24,000 employees in Europe alone. In 2011, Kraft Foods realized $54.4 billion revenue. According to their report, the corporation\u2019s success is due to the quality of the products that they deliver to their consumers. This is also captured in the mission and vision statement of the company which is to help people live and eat better. Also, the company is devoted at offering affordable family food packages, a thing that many food and beverage companies have not integrated in their products (Vickers, 2005). The corporation not only manufactures the snacks, but is also responsible for consumer brand marketing initiatives. The corporation\u2019s marketing team works closely with grocery stores, restaurants, street vendors, convenience stores, movie theaters and amusement parks, among many others in delivering their products to final consumers. In this manner, they are always close to the main consumers of their products. This strategy has not only helped in creating bigger and better revenues for the company but it also gives the notion of being interested in the welfare of the consumers. Such physical resources and closeness are an attribute that the customers can relate to.",

        "raw_content": "Wither (EP)\nWither is a single and EP by the progressive metal/rock band Dream Theater,[1] released on September 15, 2009.[2] It was their first EP since A Change of Seasons. The EP contains the album version of the song \u201cWither\u201d, an alternative version of \u201cWither\u201d with vocals and piano only, a demo of \u201cWither\u201d with John Petrucci on vocals, and a demo of \u201cThe Best of Times\u201d with Mike Portnoy on vocals. It is the band\u2019s last official release with Portnoy, who left the band in September 2010. This is the only studio release without the Majesty symbol in its front cover.\nIt was released exclusively as a digital download[2] and available from Internet music retailers, although some physical promotional copies were released to radio stations and are now in circulation on eBay.[citation needed]\nPosted in Songs recorded by Dream Theater\t- Tagged Dream Theater\nTwelve-step Suite\nThe Twelve-step Suite (also known as the Twelve-step Saga or Alcoholics Anonymous Suite), is a set of five songs by progressive metal/rock band Dream Theater. One song was featured on each Dream Theater studio album from Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence to Black Clouds & Silver Linings.\nThe lyrics to each song, written by the band\u2019s then drummer Mike Portnoy, deal with his experience of alcoholism. Each song represents a certain number of the Twelve Steps. Various lyrical and musical themes run through the Suite. It was written by the band with the intention of eventually playing it live as one piece.[1]\nThe Looking Glass (song)\n\u201cThe Looking Glass\u201d is a song by the American progressive metal band Dream Theater, from their 2013 self-titled album. It was released as a single on February 3, 2014. Musically, the song is a tribute to Rush, one of Dream Theater\u2019s biggest influences.[1]\nThe song was included in the setlist on Dream Theater\u2019s Along for the Ride Tour, and is featured on the live album Breaking the Fourth Wall.\nAll lyrics written by John Petrucci; all music composed by James LaBrie, Mike Mangini, John Myung, John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess.\nThe Enemy Inside (Dream Theater song)\n\u201cThe Enemy Inside\u201d is the first single from progressive metal/rock band Dream Theater\u2019s eponymous 12th studio album. It was announced on the band\u2019s official Facebook page as the first single on August 3, 2013 and was made available by USA Today for streaming on August 5.[1] A lyric video on YouTube for the song was published on the band\u2019s YouTube channel a day later.[2]\nThere is a music video for the song which shows a returning war veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. It is notable as Dream Theater\u2019s first music video to not feature any of the band members.\nOn December 6, 2013, it was announced that \u201cThe Enemy Inside\u201d was nominated for the \u201cBest Metal Performance\u201d Grammy Award.[3] It lost to Black Sabbath\u2019s \u201cGod Is Dead?\u201d\nStream of Consciousness (instrumental)\n\u201cStream of Consciousness\u201d is a progressive metal song by Dream Theater, appearing on their 2003 album Train of Thought. The song lasts for 11 minutes and 16 seconds. The song appears as the sixth song on the album, as a direct continuation of Vacant.\nThe song gets its name from an early working title for the album Falling into Infinity, and the parallel between the concepts of \u201cstream of consciousness\u201d and \u201ctrain of thought\u201d. The song Lines in the Sand (from Falling into Infinity) contains the lyrics \u201cIn the stream of consciousness, there is a river crying.\u201d\nThe song is a popular inclusion in Dream Theater\u2019s live shows and appears on the live album and DVD Live at Budokan.\n\u201cSpace-Dye Vest\u201d is the eleventh and final song from American progressive rock/metal band Dream Theater\u2019s 1994 album, Awake. The song was written entirely by the keyboardist Kevin Moore, and indeed its demo featured Moore on vocals. It is structured around a dark, brooding duet between Moore playing the piano and vocalist James LaBrie. The rest of the band kick in for a dramatic outro, fading out until Moore ends the song with the piano passage that opened the song. The song is interspersed with samples from A Room with a View, The Fifth Estate, Late Night with Conan O\u2019Brien and a news commentary by Jim Hill during the O. J. Simpson freeway chase.\nSix Degrees of Inner Turbulence (song)\n\u201cSix Degrees of Inner Turbulence\u201d is the sixth song and title track on the album of the same name, written and performed by progressive metal/rock band Dream Theater. Though the song is essentially broken up into eight movements on separate tracks, the song itself is 42-minutes and takes up the entire second CD of the album. The genesis of the song came when Dream Theater keyboardist Jordan Rudess wrote what would become the \u201cOverture\u201d section of \u201cSix Degrees of Inner Turbulence\u201d, and the band took some different melodies and ideas contained within it and expanded them into chapters of the complete piece. The song explores the stories of six individuals suffering from various mental illnesses.[2] Particularly represented are bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, autism, post-partum depression, and dissociative identity disorder.\nThe song contains influences of the classical, metal, folk and progressive genres and weaves through many time signatures, including 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, and 7/8. The song is the longest that Dream Theater has recorded. In order to ease the scrolling through the song, Mike Portnoy gave each movement their own track, splitting the song into eight tracks.[3]\nThe song was played in its entirety on Score, with the \u201cOctavarium Orchestra\u201d playing \u201cOverture\u201d and backing for the rest of the piece, except for \u201cThe Test That Stumped Them All\u201d.\n\u201cPull Me Under\u201d is the first track and first single from Dream Theater\u2019s 1992 album Images and Words. It is also featured on the Live at the Marquee CD, Once in a LIVEtime CD, Live at Budokan CD and DVD and the Images and Words: Live in Tokyo VHS and DVD. It was released as the first single from Images and Words, and received positive critical reception and extensive MTV rotation.[1] It is widely considered to be Dream Theater\u2019s signature song.\n\u201cOn the Backs of Angels\u201d is a song by American progressive metal/rock band Dream Theater, featured on their 11th studio album A Dramatic Turn of Events. The song was written by the band\u2019s guitarist and producer John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, and keyboardist Jordan Rudess.\n\u201cOn the Backs of Angels\u201d was released as A Dramatic Turn of Events\u2019 lead single via YouTube on June 29, 2011.[2] A music video for the song was released on September 14, 2011.[3] The song was nominated for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards, eventually losing to \u201cWhite Limo\u201d by Foo Fighters.[4][5]\nIn composing \u201cOn the Backs of Angels\u201d, on the advice from one of their fans and co-writers, Dream Theater tried to illustrate their signature sound.[6] From the start, the band envisioned the song as an album opener that, according to Petrucci, would make their fans \u201cfeel at home\u201d. Clocking in at 8:43 long and with numerous time signature changes, the song is mostly played in 4/4 and 3/4 time. Its introduction features a moody and foreboding arpeggiated guitar pattern that was written by Petrucci and inspired by the music of said fan favorite, Pink Floyd.[7] At 5:51, the song breaks down into a piano passage that was improvised by Rudess. Audiences were positively receptive of this song\u2019s music video, with some interviewed individuals referring to it as a true masterpiece, rivaling even Plato\u2019s Allegory of the Cave. It has been said that this song is the anthem of small groups of college students in the Northeastern region of the United States. [8]\nOctavarium (song)\nOctavarium is a song by progressive metal/rock band Dream Theater, from the album of the same name.\nThe song starts with Jordan Rudess using his Haken Continuum and his lap steel guitar, drawing references from Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201cShine On You Crazy Diamond\u201d, Tangerine Dream, Marty Friedman\u2019s Scenes, and Queen\u2019s \u201cBijou\u201d.\n\u201cIllumination Theory\u201d is a song by the progressive metal/rock band Dream Theater. The song was released on 23 September 2013, as the closing track of the band\u2019s 12th album Dream Theater. It features a string ensemble conducted and arranged by Eren Ba\u015fbu\u011f.[1] The song\u2019s lyrics, according to the guitarist John Petrucci, are about things for which people will live, die or kill.[2] The song\u2019s length is 22:17, making it Dream Theater\u2019s fifth longest to date.\nThe entire song was released as a 12\u2033 picture disc exclusively for Record Store Day 2014 and limited to 2,700 copies.\nAlong for the Ride (song)\n\u201cAlong for the Ride\u201d is a power ballad by progressive rock band Dream Theater, and is the second single from their self-titled 12th studio album. It was announced on the band\u2019s official Facebook page as the second single on September 6, 2013 and was made available in various locations on September 9. The band\u2019s guitarist John Petrucci, talked about the lyrics in an interview in which he said: \u201cthe message to that song is very much like you know with all the crazy stuff that happens in the world and all the dangerous events and people out there and things going on\u2026 that we don\u2019t have a lot of control for that and then we\u2019re just on this big planet and we\u2019re along for the ride\u201d.[1] The world tour to promote Dream Theater is named after the song.\n\u201cA Nightmare to Remember\u201d is a progressive metal song written and performed by the American band Dream Theater. It is the first track on the band\u2019s tenth studio album, Black Clouds & Silver Linings, released in 2009. The song was written by the band\u2019s guitarist, John Petrucci who tells about a car crash that he was involved in when he was a child. The music of the song is dark as the band\u2019s keyboardist Jordan Rudess talked about Black Clouds: \u201cWe\u2019ve been entering into the Gothic domain quite a bit on this album.\u201d The song\u2019s length is 16 minutes, making it the second longest track on the album.[1][2]\nThe lyrics which are based on a car crash that Petrucci was involved when he was a child, tell how Petrucci felt before the incident, when it happened, and about being taken care of in hospital by a man whom he describes in the lyrics as \u201cfaceless\u201d, the feeling that this incident is haunting his dreams, and how he feels a relief that he and all the others who were involved survived.\nA Change of Seasons is an EP by progressive metal band Dream Theater, first released on September 19, 1995 through East West Records. It comprises the 23-minute title track and a collection of bonus live covers performed at a fan club concert at Ronnie Scott\u2019s Jazz Club in London, England.\nThe title track, which was recorded at BearTracks Studios in New York, includes audio samples from the 1989 film Dead Poets Society and quotes from the 1648 Robert Herrick poem, To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time.[2]\n\u201cA Change of Seasons\u201d was originally slated to be released on the 1992 album Images and Words but was instead re-recorded and released as an EP.[3] The lyrics, written by the band\u2019s then-drummer Mike Portnoy, were not inspired by the movie but rather the death of his mother.[4] A Change of Seasons was also the first Dream Theater release featuring Derek Sherinian on keyboards.\nExcerpts from the title track were used by NBC in a segment on downhill skiing during the 2002 Winter Olympics.[5]\nAlthough the record is labeled as an EP, at 57:30, it is much longer than a standard EP, or, indeed, many LPs, including Dream Theater\u2019s first two albums. According to Portnoy, \u201cIt was important for us and the label for it not to be perceived as the latest studio record. That\u2019s why we tagged it an EP.\u201d[6]",

        "raw_content": "Anger as Kirklees Council makes decision to move Almondbury Library\nFuture of 130-year-old building is now in doubt\nA contentious decision to relocate Almondbury Library in Huddersfield \u201chasn\u2019t been taken lightly\u201d, say council chiefs.\nBut critics say they are \u201cappalled\u201d and the decision is \u201ca terrible move.\u201d\nThe notion of moving the library service from the Carnegie Building in Stocks Walk to the former SureStart Centre off Fairfield Road led to a campaign to keep the service where it has always been.\nHowever those behind the change say the new site - described as \u201ca community hub\u201d - will offer a multiplicity of services including support for children and families, help and advice, activities for older people, and community events as well as the traditional library service.\nIt is understood that any staff affected by the service change have been informed.\nThe issue of the library and where it should be has divided the village in recent months. During a debate at Kirklees Council earlier this month Almondbury Library Friends Association (ALFA) made an impassioned plea to keep it at Stocks Walk.\nReacting to the council\u2019s announcement an ALFA spokesman said: \u201cWe are appalled.\nChief librarian accused of bias over future of Almondbury library\n\u201cThis tends to confirm our suspicions that the council and its officials had made their minds up before the so-called consultations of last year.\n\u201cClearly the council are not listening to what the Almondbury residents want, but are pursuing their own, or possibly their own officials\u2019, agenda.\u201d\nSuch concerns led to an allegation of bias against the council\u2019s Chief Librarian, Carol Stump, for making comments on social media in relation to the proposed move.\nKirklees Council\u2019s chief librarian Carol Stump\nShe was criticised for having \u201cstrong, pre-determined views\u201d that could not be considered impartial.\nAnd local councillors have added their voices. One, the Liberal Democrats\u2019 Alison Munro, described a consultation exercise as \u201can ill-planned fait accompli.\u201d\nConservative Clr Bernard McGuin said: \u201cIt\u2019s a terrible idea.\n\u201cPeople don\u2019t want this move. The idea of setting up ALFA was to support the library in the Carnegie Building. What will happen now, I have no idea.\u201d\nAlmondbury and Holmfirth libraries to move to new sites\nSenior Labour councillor Graham Turner, who helped lead the programme, said: \u201cWe fully understand that people can become attached to particular buildings and this decision hasn\u2019t been taken lightly.\n\u201cIt has only come after extensive talks with interested parties and the local community.\u201d\nAnd there has been criticism of the new site, with concerns that it is a gathering place for drug users which might undermine its viability as a safe community space.\nIn announcing the move the council is underlining its policy of trying to avoid making closures as it redesigns its service.\nThe future of the 130-year-old Carnegie Building, which was Huddersfield\u2019s first purpose-built library, is now uncertain.\nALFA intends to call a public meeting on February 9 at 10am in the library to investigate support for the building to be transferred to the community.\nThe library is likely to move this year. No timescale has been set.",

This Blog is designed to identify and comment on common legal issues and current cases and developments that affect family-owned and controlled businesses.\nWhy focus on family-owned businesses?\nApproximately 90% of businesses in the United States are family-owned or controlled. These businesses generate over 50% of the country\u2019s GDP. Clearly, there are some noteworthy and very large family-owned or controlled businesses, including Walmart, Ford, and SC Johnson Company (which proudly bills itself in its ads as \u201ca family company\u201d), and these companies have succeeded through many generations of family management and ownership. There are also millions of other less well-known family businesses which operate on a smaller scale or strictly in their local markets \u2013 from the corner store, to the family farm, to the manufacturing company in the local industrial park, to the real estate holding company that owns and manages commercial or residential buildings, and so on. Regardless of the industry, all these family businesses, at one point or another, face the common issues of whether the business will transfer to a future generation, when and on what terms that may happen, and which family members will continue to be involved.\nContinue Reading Welcome to Murtha Cullina\u2019s Family Business Perspectives Blog.",

        "raw_content": "Have You had an Encounter with Jesus?\nIn the comments below, let\u2019s have a conversation about how each of us has encountered Jesus. Here is a good outline that to follow as you write.\nWhat my life was like before I became a Christian\nSome key people who showed me what it meant to follow Christ\nHow I decided to community life to Christ\nThe difference following Christ has made for me\nPerry McArthur\nFirst Baptist Gallatin \u2013 Member\nFBG Perry Easter2015 from First Baptist \u2013 Gallatin on Vimeo.\nHannah Haynes\nSalvation Stories from First Baptist \u2013 Gallatin on Vimeo.\nhttp://fbcgallatin.org/video/FBG_RayYoung_Easter2015.mp4\nOne of my earliest memories is kneeling in front of the living room couch which was our family alter. Mother, Daddy, and I would kneel together there for our prayer time every night. I talked to God as if he were kneeling there with us. I don\u2019t actually remember asking God to \u201csave\u201d me. I just knew that He loved me and I loved Him. By the time I was about 5 years old I knew in my heart that He held me in His arms just like He did Mother and Daddy. We were a happy family of three living on a dairy farm. We went to our small country Baptist Church on Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night and usually Monday night for Mother\u2019s WMU meeting or my GA meeting. Daddy\u2019s Deacons meetings were monthly, I believe.\nSince we lived out in the country I had no close by playmates and I had already learned that nothing was too big or too little to pray about. So during our family prayers together, mine started including a plea for a baby brother or sister. (I had visions of holding my sibling in my arms at church). That prayer was answered when I was 7 years old and my baby brother was born. Nothing made me feel any prouder than cuddling him in my arms during church.\nBy the time I was 8 years old I started thinking about joining the church. After talking to Mother and Daddy about it I decided it was time. At our Church it was customary to share your experience with the congregation when you went forward to join the Church. I did not have a real exciting or colorful story to tell because asking God to live in my heart was just the natural thing for me to do, but it was very real. Now that both Mother and Daddy are already with God, I actually feel anxious at times to be there too.\nThe memory of my childhood experience instilled in me a deep desire to pass on to my own children the best loving Christian parenting and leadership that I possibly could. They are now three great Christians. PTL.\nMy parents were divorced when I was 5. So, you could say I grew up in a broken home. However, my mom was the best and she got me involved on a grand scale at Eastern Hills Baptist Church in Charlotte, NC. I was your classic church kid. I was there every time the doors were open and I had some great friends, leaders; and, I also had a good relationship with my Pastor. I don\u2019t remember all the details; but, around the age of 12 I went to visit my pastor in his office. Again, I don\u2019t remember much about the visit except that all the walls in his office were wood. After that date, my mom set up a day for me to be baptized. This all coincided with a meeting I had with a friend of mine who lived in my neighborhood. He lived three house up/down from me; and, one day while I was playing outside he came down to visit. He asked me about my salvation and whether I knew I was a Christian and whether I would go to heaven when I died. We prayed and I\u2019m not sure if this was my salvation day or the day with my pastor; but, they were around the same time and I believe the Lord was working all things for good during that time.\nWhile I was at church most of the time during most of my teen years, I was relying on others for my growth. I don\u2019t ever remember reading the bible on my own until I was 19 years of age and then a college freshman. I went to a crusade in Winston-Salem and it really cemented in my life the realization that if I was going to grow I had to do some work. I got involved with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship on the campus of Wake Forest University and that\u2019s when and where I really started to grow.\nWhat difference has God made in my life? As I look at my Christian life as a whole, I would say the theme of this life would be that God has been the firm foundation. I definitely have not done everything right and I definitely have struggled and there are some things I\u2019m still asking God to provide for me in life; but, God has always been there for me and He\u2019s been that ever-present help in time of joy and trouble. I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve always loved Jesus well; but, He has always loved me and I am so grateful for that.\nI was privileged and blessed (not that I understood this was the case at the time) to be born into a God-fearing family who took religion seriously. A family that \u2013 if the church lights were on and the door open \u2013 we were there. Not just my Mom and Dad but both sets of grandparents. I have always liked to visit other churches in other parts of the country to see \u201chow they do it.\u201d But my roots are and have always been at FBG. Since God, Jesus, the Bible and other religious topics were so common-place in our homes my committing my life to Jesus, asking for forgiveness for all my sins both past and the ones I knew I would be guilty of in the future and trusting Him as my Lord and Savior was not a \u201cbells and whistles\u201d event. At age 9 I turned my life over to Him knowing all the while that \u201cI have agreed to do something that \u201cI\u201d cannot do alone.\u201d The same Sunday I was Baptized I repeated this to my grandmother (Troutt) who, along w/ my paternal grandfather, Jim, lived with me, Mom and Dad in a duplex-type home for more that fifteen years. She, w/o hesitation, quoted two scriptures. These have been my spiritual \u201csecurity blanket\u201d for all these years.\nPsalms 46:10 \u201cBe still and know that I am God.\u201d\nHebrews 13:5 \u201c\u2014\u2014-I will never leave you or forsake you.\u201d\nThis same grandmother always prayed w/ me before school EVERY morning. Most of these prayers included a petition to God for my success in school that day but with a twist that always humbled me and got my attention. To this day I use \u201cNanny\u2019s\u201d prayer as an encouragement before any task I attempt: \u201c Lord God \u2013 I only ask that you let Bill succeed today to the degree to which he has prepared.\u201d\nBill Troutt\nI can still remember clearly where I was and what I was doing when I realized my need for Jesus forgiveness.\nI was standing at the right end of the fifth pew on the right side section of the Rockwood Baptist church in Independence, Missouri. When we stood to sing the invitation hymn, Lianne Potts immediately started down the outside aisle. She and her brothers and sister were setting two rows in front of me and my family. As I watched her walk down the aisle. I knew what she was doing, but I wondered why she was \u201cgoing forward.\u201d\nI had seen many people go down the aisle and repent of their sins in my many years; I was seven at the time. They were teenagers or adults who were old enough to have done something really wrong, they had sinned. Lianne was the best kid in our class. She never did anything wrong. When Brother Bledsoe, our Pastor, introduced Lianne to the congregation, he told that Lianne had come to his office that week and they had talked about her desire to accept Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior and her desire for Jesus to forgive her of her sins.\nThat is when, for the first time, I realized that this stuff applied to me. I was a good kid, for the most part. But I knew I had done some things that did not please God. Right there while he was still stalking, I asked God to forgive me of my sin. I asked Jesus to come into my heart and live in me. The invitation was over, so I flied out with my family like normal.\nThe next Sunday, when the invitation started, I left our pew, the same one I was sitting on the week before, and went to the front and shook Brother Bledsoe\u2019s hand and told him that I had ask Jesus to save me last week.\nI had heard the bit about Lianne coming to his office and talking with him before she came forward but that did not seem to be an important part of the story to me. When he introduced me to the congregation after the hymn was over, he told that he would be talking with me and my parents this week about my decision. I was a little offended, why did he and my parents have to talk about my decision? He wanted to be sure that I knew what I was doing, I understand that now.\nI had not talked to anyone about this decision. It was personal. I knew it was something I needed to do. I did it. I probably could or should have talked to my parents about it, but I didn\u2019t. We talked about it that Sunday afternoon. A few days later my parents and I sat down with the Pastor and we discussed my decision with Brother Bledsoe. I few weeks later I was baptized.\nI was young. I believe God saved me that Sunday morning in the pew at the close of the service. I certainly did not understand all that it meant to be a Christian then. The Children\u2019s ministry and the Student ministry were important in helping me continue to grow in my understanding of what it meant to be a Christ follower.\nMy Salvation Story\nI became a Christian when I was nine years old, but I knew Jesus long before that. I felt His presence in so many ways during my young life. He was talked about to me by my grandmother, and I saw Him and His love through those who cared for me at home, and my teachers at school and Sunday school.\nAs I sat in church on a summer Sunday morning at Third Baptist Church, Nashville, Tennessee with a neighbor who took me there, I walked down the aisle and gave my heart to Jesus and was baptized. I learned to play the piano, and as I grew up I began to play in church, and played in different churches over the years. This was a gift that God gave me to use for Him.\nI have taught children in Sunday school, Training Union and Vacation Bible School and I feel that these opportunities were given to me for a purpose, to keep me strong and close to Him. There have been times I have failed Him, but He has given me strength and courage to keep going, and He is always forgiving. I am so thankful for His love and grace to me, and this has made all the difference in my life.\nCarol Woodard\nI was 13 years old and began to realize I was lost. When we went to church and Sunday school and I would hear the preacher preach about Jesus and His sacrifice for me, I came under conviction as a sinner and thus began the battle of either giving in to the invitation to allow Jesus to save me, or try to ignore it.\nDue to the way I was raised to this point in my life, I knew what was going on with the battle inside my heart and mind. Mom and Dad were Christians and they took us to church and Sunday school every Sunday, Sunday night and Wednesday night. My Sunday school teacher was very loving and caring and she knew I was struggling and she spoke to me about it. I was scared to go to the altar or to even go down front to talk with the preacher. I would almost twist the paint off the pew in front of me to hold on and not give in. My teacher and parents realized what was going on with me and asked our pastor to come to our home and talk with me.\nHe came to our house one night and he and I sat down at the kitchen table and talked and then and there I gave my heart to Jesus. The burden was immediately gone and I felt great and so happy. I went the next Sunday without fear and joined the church, told them of my salvation and was baptized.",

        "raw_content": "International Terrorism Defendant Pleads Guilty in Manhattan Federal Court\nPreet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin announced that ADEL ABDEL BARY, a/k/a \u201cAdel Mohammed Abdul Almagid Abdel Bary,\u201d a/k/a \u201cAbbas,\u201d a/k/a \u201cAbu Dia,\u201d a/k/a \u201cAdel\u201d (\u201cBARY\u201d), pled guilty in Manhattan federal court to international terrorism charges in connection with BARY\u2019s work on behalf of Al Qaeda and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. BARY was extradited to the United States from the United Kingdom on October 6, 2012. BARY pled guilty to a three-count superseding Information charging him with conspiring to kill U.S. nationals, conspiring to make a threat to kill, injure, intimidate, and damage and destroy property by means of an explosive, and making such a threat. Following the defendant\u2019s plea of guilty, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan asked for further information regarding the basis of the plea agreement, which the parties will provide within a week.\nManhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: \u201cAdel Abdel Bary filled supporting positions in Egyptian Islamic Jihad and Al Qaeda, assisting in fomenting and inciting violence and terrorism, and conspiring to kill innocent people, including American civilians serving their country abroad. Today he has admitted his guilt, and subject to the further information requested by the judge, awaits the sentence to be imposed by an American civilian court.\u201d\nAccording to the Indictment based on which BARY was extradited, the Superseding Information to which he pled, other documents filed in Manhattan federal court, and statements made at today\u2019s guilty plea:\nIn 1997 and 1998, BARY led the London cell of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad (\u201cEIJ\u201d) organization. EIJ, which was led for years by co-defendant Ayman al Zawahiri, was dedicated to the forceful overthrow of the Egyptian Government and to violent opposition of the United States, in part, for its support of the Government in Egypt. By February 1998, EIJ had effectively merged with Al Qaeda and EIJ joined with Al Qaeda in targeting American civilians. To that end, in February 1998, indicted co-defendant Usama Bin Laden and Zawahiri endorsed a purported fatwah under the banner of the \u201cInternational Islamic Front for Jihad on the Jews and Crusaders.\u201d This fatwah stated that Muslims should kill Americans\u2014including civilians\u2014anywhere in the world where they can be found. Then again, on August 4, 1998, EIJ published a statement threatening to retaliate against America for its claimed involvement in the apprehension of EIJ members. A copy of this statement was found in an office used by BARY and his London-based co-conspirators.\nWhile in London, BARY pledged his commitment to pursue the goals of EIJ and to follow the orders of the leadership of the group. Many of the leading members of EIJ became influential members of Al Qaeda, including Zawahiri and indicted co-defendant Muhammad Atef, both of whom later sat on the majlis al shura (or consultation council) of Al Qaeda. Zawahiri is now the declared leader of Al Qaeda.\nOn August 7, 1998, three days after EIJ published its threat to retaliate against America, Al Qaeda operatives bombed the United States Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 224 people. BARY transmitted, via international telephone calls to the media, the contents of Al Qaeda\u2019s claims of responsibility for the August 7, 1998, bombings. These claims of responsibility included threats of future terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda and its allies, and were sent from London, England, to media organizations in France, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates on August 8, 1998\u2014the day after the embassy bombings.\nIn August 1998, both before and after the bombings, BARY additionally arranged for messages to be transmitted from members of the media to his co-conspirators, including Bin Laden and Zawahiri, and conveyed messages from his co-conspirators, including Bin Laden and Zawahiri, to members of the media. BARY also used an office in London, England, which he shared with co-conspirators, to store documents, including the claims of responsibility described above, as well as for other conduct related to the conspiracy to murder U.S. nationals.\nIn connection with his role in transmitting Al Qaeda\u2019s claims of responsibility for the bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, BARY pled guilty to one count of conspiring to make a threat to kill, injure, intimidate, and damage and destroy property by means of an explosive, in violation of 18 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 844(e) and (n), which carries a maximum term of 10 years in prison, and one count of making such a threat, in violation of 18 U.S.C. \u00a7 844(e), which carries a maximum term of 10 years in prison. In connection with his role in the conspiracy\u2014led by Bin Laden and Zawahiri\u2014to attack American targets around the world, BARY pled guilty to one count of conspiring to kill U.S. nationals, in violation of 18 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 371 and 2332(a)(1), which carries a maximum term of five years in prison. The maximum potential sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge.\nTwo co-defendants, Khalid al Fawwaz, a/k/a \u201cKhaled Abdul Rahman Hamad al Fawwaz,\u201d a/k/a \u201cAbu Omar,\u201d a/k/a \u201cHamad,\u201d and Anas al Liby, a/k/a \u201cNazih al Raghie,\u201d a/k/a \u201cAnas al Sebai,\u201d are scheduled to commence trial on November 3, 2014, before the Honorable Lewis A. Kaplan. The charges contained in the Indictment are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.\nMr. Bharara praised the outstanding efforts of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the New York City Police Department, the United States Marshals Service, and the Metropolitan Police Department of London, England (New Scotland Yard). Mr. Bharara also thanked the U.S. Department of Justice\u2019s Office of International Affairs and National Security Division for their ongoing assistance.\nThis case is being handled by the Office\u2019s Terrorism and International Narcotics Unit. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sean S. Buckley, Adam Fee, Nicholas J. Lewin, and Stephen J. Ritchin are in charge of the prosecution.",

However, there are times when your man\u2019s antagonism towards your parents and siblings can make this happy situation impossible. And be warned that this kind of a deep seated dislike can make your relationship with him very sour indeed. Here are the signs that your man hates your family.\nHe hates your closeness with them\nCall it insecurity or plain nastiness, but he hates your closeness with your folks and siblings and makes his unhappiness amply clear when you spend time with them. He also does not like talking about them or hearing about what you did together as a family before you met him.\nHe rebuffs their attempts to build bridges\nWhile your family may be trying very hard to extend the hand of friendship to him, he keeps rebuffing their attempts by being cold and unapproachable and ignoring their overtures. For instance, if you father is trying to initiate a conversation, all he does is give monosyllabic answers.\nHe criticises them\nHe leaves no stone unturned to criticise them, either openly or sneakily, or even through. This is done with the aim to make you think of them poorly. He may even insinuate that they have been unfair to you and that you are better off without them.\nHe avoids meeting them\nThis guy will never be seen at family get-togethers and always has an excuse to get out of meeting them. Whether it is your dad\u2019s birthday party or your sibling\u2019s promotion dinner, your man will be conspicuous by his absence.\nHe does not let you meet them\nHe makes it very clear that he does not approve of you meeting them. This is especially true if you are married and staying with him and his parents. It is always becomes a big issue visiting your parents and if you go anyway, you can be prepared for a sulk-fest or, worse, a big fight.",

        "raw_content": "The Digital Campus: a key element in solving the rising challenge for UK education\nby Joe Rabah\nThe days of cold, impersonal lecture halls, with rows of students diligently writing notes are numbered and the further and higher education sectors would be wise to heed this. Today\u2019s students are \u2018digital natives\u2019 brought up in a world of smart phones, high speed wi-fi and technology on demand. They are used to sophisticated imagery and instant access to valuable resources. And, in-line with the rest of modern society, have an ever-decreasing attention span needing instant engagement to ensure effective message delivery.\nTo stay relevant to their students and deliver leading educational experiences, it\u2019s essential that our bastions of higher education, that are respected worldwide, maintain their reputations and join the rest of our society in its journey of digital transformation.\nFor brands and businesses to be seen and taken seriously today it is crucial for them to have a mobile, digital and social media presence. And the same is relevant for higher education institutions, if they wish to maintain their positions in rankings and appeal to upcoming students.\nAs well as ensuring that there is a technologically adept infrastructure within a university campus that can deliver all the associated benefits to staff and students alike, another key area that universities should consider is their digital communications. Not only as an effective means to communicate with the university population, but also to garner insight from the data captured on the student body by the technology behind it.\nThis data can be used in a variety of ways; from guiding students to safety via smart digital signage notifications that can be pushed through to their mobile phones, to informing course delivery and student engagement initiatives.\nDigital communications have a role to play at all touchpoints through the university experience. From before they have even enrolled at a university, prospective students will be visiting and probably engaging with social media programmes and digital signage to inform their decision making. The technological infrastructure within a university will be a key differentiator for today\u2019s students. Technology is a key part of their daily lives and they need modern digitally driven campuses to appeal to them.\nProspective students will have questions about all areas of student life \u2013 financial information, living arrangements, campus navigation, transportation, course delivery and, perhaps most importantly, the social functions and events available - and effective, informative technology systems will be essential for delivering this information in a succinct, digestible and engaging manner.\nHaving made the decision to attend a particular university, this level of information delivery will continue to be of utmost importance. However, now it will need to be tailored to suit each student\u2019s requirements, this is when a sophisticated Content Management System (CMS) can complement broader communications.\nEvery student and member of the campus community will experience a \u2018digital visual journey\u2019 that will accompany their day. Course schedules and daily notifications and updates about lectures, restaurant menus and daily events will guide students through digital signage and be delivered via apps to their mobile phones.\nResearch shows that 87 per cent of students think university enables them to become more independent and it is important that readily available information allows them to be.\nIt is also important to remember that whilst students have high technological expectations, teaching staff are also on their own journey of digital transformation, and have become adept at incorporating technology into their teaching skills. Universities who do not supply the technological tools todays lecturers need to deliver their courses will lose talent to those that do.\nThis level of communication will help engage students in campus life and help deliver a holistic university experience that is most attractive to each student\u2019s needs. The apps will not only allow students to interact, but also encourage conversation between staff and the student body, building a sense of community and brand advocacy for the university. After students have graduated, they can be brand advocates for the university they attended: continuing to be active in alumni groups and interacting with social networks.\nAs universities are continually looking for additional revenue streams, rather than relying on government funding, smart technology and advocacy for innovation are key ways for higher education establishments to create stand-out against their competitors.\nAn infrastructure of effective digital communications will also allow universities to enter into commercial relationships with relevant brands to campus life and consequently help finance the technology solutions required.\nProviding partners with the opportunity to engage with a captive audience \u2013 when questioned 91 per cent of students said that they use social media every day - proving that it is a valuable commercial resource.\nThis can also be supported with \u2018proximity marketing\u2019 where brands are able to use cellular technology to send marketing messages to mobile phones when students are in the proximity of certain digital signage.\nThe right technology even offers the possibility for screen content to change to whatever is most relevant to a person when passing it. Instead of considering this an intrusion, today\u2019s student values the opportunity to receive targeted information that is relevant and specific to them.\nThere is no doubt that to complete a university education today takes a considerable investment. Students are very aware of the long-term commitment they are making when choosing to go to university.\nConsequently, they are becoming discerning and have high expectations of what they expect their university experience to be and technological expectations are high on their list of requirements.\nFor universities to rise to this challenge, and ensure they satisfy this demand, it is essential that they embrace technology to deliver a digitally adept campus experience that is worthy of their students\u2019 investment.\nJoe Rabah, Managing Director for EMEA, RMG Networks",

        "raw_content": "By Ibz Omar\nThe serious malnutrition crisis and a lack of access to adequate food have drawn international attention to Mexico. According to the National Council for the Evaluation of Social Development Policy, the increasingly critical nutrition situation affects 28 million people in Mexico, thereby also increasing cases of non-communicable diseases. Between 2009 and 2015 alone, over half a million people died from diabetes.\nConsidering the abovementioned facts and the unfavorable legal context, any hope of change is pinned on the draft decree which includes the Right to Adequate Food Law. This decree was approved on April 30, 2015 by the Chamber of Deputies of the National Congress and sent to the Senate on this same date.\nGranted constitutional standing six years ago, the right to food is a pending issue the State must address for those demographics in vulnerable situations*.\nAn approval of this law would entail compliance with the final observations of the Committee of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which on March 29, 2018, voiced concern about the \"high levels of malnutrition and food insecurity, and on the other hand, increasing levels of overweight and obese people, affecting the effective enjoyment of the right to adequate food\". The Committee recommended that the State of Mexico formulate \"a comprehensive national strategy to protect and promote the right to adequate food.\"\nSuch action would also fulfill the recommendations made by Special Rapporteur on the right to food, Olivier De Schutter, after his 2011 visit. Among his recommendations, the rapporteur underscores that \"a framework law on the right to food could establish how to detect new threats against the right to adequate food as soon as possible ... [And] provide an appropriate legislative foundation for existing social programs, in particular food aid programs, as well as aid programs for agricultural producers.\"\nAs the new members join the Senate of the Republic of Mexico, FIAN International and its section in Mexico have renewed hope and urge the legislators to join the fight and put an end to the current bleak situation.\n*Especially indigenous peoples and communities, pregnant and lactating women, infants or preschool-age children, elderly people, people with disabilities that are unable to care for themselves, sick people in destitute situations, migrants, stateless persons, refugees and people affected by disasters or by situations considered food emergencies.",

        "raw_content": "Glossary > Pre-Existing Condition\nIn the healthcare industry, a pre-existing condition refers to any medical condition you have that started before your health insurance benefits go into effect. Prior to 2014, before Obamacare went into effect, some health insurance plans did not cover medical expenses associated with pre-existing conditions.\nSome health insurance companies use an objective standard to define this term, which means that a pre-existing condition is any condition that you have already received medical advice about or had treatment for before enrolling in a new health insurance plan.\nHistorically, other health insurance companies considered you to have one of these conditions if you reported that symptoms began before your coverage did, no matter if you sought medical care or not.\nWhat Is Considered a Pre-Existing Condition?\nThere is a long list of conditions from simple acne to the complications of cancer. Among many conditions, the list usually includes chronic issues, such as:\nThis is not a comprehensive list, so make sure to check with your health insurance provider to see if you have anything that can be considered a pre-existing condition.\nHealth Insurance With Pre-Existing Conditions\nAre You Able to Get Insurance With a Pre-Existing Condition?\nPrior to the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, some insurance companies would completely refuse to insure you if you had certain pre-existing conditions, while others would insure you at higher rates than people in the same demographic without pre-existing conditions. The result of this was that as many as 25% of the United States population went without healthcare coverage because it was not affordable.\nUnder Obamacare, all plans sold and purchased through the Health Insurance Marketplace must cover pre-existing conditions. This means that a health insurance company cannot refuse or deny you coverage, or charge you more for premiums if you have a pre-existing condition. In addition, once you have already enrolled in a plan, you cannot be denied coverage or have your rates raised based on your health.\nDoes Having a Pre-Existing Condition Affect Medical Costs?\nUnder the current healthcare coverage laws, you will not pay more for your medical care because you have one of these conditions. Your premiums will be the same as if you did not have one, and you will pay according to your plan's policies for any diagnostic tests, doctor visits and treatments you have.\nHowever, it is important to note that in general, pre-existing conditions do increase healthcare costs for both you as the consumer and your insurance company because you will likely require more health-related services and medical treatment than someone without a similar condition.\nGet health insurance quotes for your pre-existing condition by talking to one of our experienced agents 858-771-4087 or by entering your zip code here!",

The F-15 Eagle was first flown in 1972 with squadron deliveries in 1976. The F-16 Fighting Falcon appeared on the tarmac two years later. So how does the 42-year-old Eagle stand up to the 21st century?\nWith reduced affordability of the F-22 Raptor and perennial delays and cost overruns with the F-35 Lightning II, the Air Force faces a continuing challenge in keeping its air superiority edge over potential opponents, however unlikely a new air war may seem.\nWhen it appeared in the mid-1970s, the Eagle became the instant world standard fighter. The 365 A models were a sensation, with twin Pratt & Whitney F-100 turbofans rocketing the bird to Mach 2.5 at altitude and about 1.2 down low. Its loadout of infrared and radar missiles plus 20mm cannon could cope with any likely threat.\nF-15B and D two-seaters eased transition from F-4s, followed by 408 F-15Cs with improved avionics and greater fuel capacity. International sales boosted Eagle production over 1,200 units, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Japan. Combat success was stunningly lopsided. Israeli Eagles began scoring in 1979, claiming 63 kills through 2001.\nDuring Operation Desert Storm in January 1991, USAF F-15s scored 39 aerial victories against Iraqi aircraft, including four helicopters. Additionally, a Saudi pilot downed two Mirages.\nEight years later, F-15Cs downed four MiG-29s over the Balkans. With a career total of 108 victories to date, no F-15s are known lost in air combat.\nThe most versatile Eagles in the aerie are some 420 F-15Es delivered from 1988 to date, including Korea and Singapore.\nHowever, in cavalry terms, F-15s have been ridden hard and put up wet. A retired colonel says that the Air Force plans to retain 249 F-15Cs through 2030, while continuing life-extension studies.\nHowever, an analyst observes, \u201cThe problem with the F-15Cs is that they are all under flight restrictions regarding max loadings because they have been simply flown to death. The Air Force has operated on a combat footing since 1990 with the first Gulf crisis in Kuwait. I would be very surprised if we have any F-15Cs flying after 2025, and would not be surprised if they are retired in the 2018-2020 time span.\u201d\nCurrently, Strike Eagles are expected to remain in production until 2019, and operational to 2025.\nHaving mortgaged the future on stealth, the Air Force faces a serious shortfall of F-15s. An interim suggestion, the semi-stealthy Silent Eagle modification, was rejected. There appears little option but to continue flying worn-out aircraft.\nIn fairness to the Air Force, the Navy and Marines also have bungled their next-generation aircraft. The stealthy A-12 was canceled after the Navy prematurely axed the A-6 Intruder, and both nautical versions of F-35 remain in serious trouble, running late and well over budget. Despite 90 years of designing and flying carrier aircraft, now the Navy\u2019s F-35C cannot reliably catch an arresting wire.\nWhatever happens, Eagles will continue flying for the foreseeable future, bearing sharpened talons on increasingly weary wings.",

        "raw_content": "There is no magic to comparing the handwriting of a questioned document with samples of another writer. Nor are handwriting experts necessarily gifted with some supernatural ability to identify the signatures of others. What a handwriting expert does have is a peculiar interest in the fine details of handwriting and many hours of training and experience in observing the characteristics of hundreds (make that, thousands) of writers. To become an expert, a document examiner must have the ability to differentiate the individualizing characteristics from \u201crun-of-the-mill\u201d features referred to as class characteristics found in many people\u2019s handwriting. When considered in combination, an adequate number of these characteristics can serve as an identifying \u201cfingerprint\u201d of a given writer. The only \u201ctrick\u201d is that the document examiner must have the skill to know what is adequate for such an identification.\nThe process of preparing the evidence for examination is rather straightforward and somewhat rudimentary. Many examiners prefer to place the signatures side-by-side, comparing the signature in question with those known to be genuine. Most commonly, each document is scanned, the image is cropped to eliminate extraneous printing or writing and the resulting signatures are \u201cpasted\u201d onto a sheet \u2013 Questioned signature(s) on one side, Known signatures on the other. Sometimes, preparing the documents for analysis takes longer than the analysis itself, partly because the similarities and differences become more recognizable when the writing is isolated from the rest of the page.\nThen the comparison begins. A global inspection comes first. The questioned signatures are compared to one another as are the known signatures. Discrepancies and commonalities are noted. Once the examiner has a general impression of the writing, the details of the writing are inspected. There are up to 40 separate features that can be used for identifying a writer, but not all of these are considered every time. Some writers have such unusual features, very few are necessary to identify the writer, while others require in-depth, stroke-by-stroke analysis to find enough features to formulate an opinion.\nAfter all of these steps, the examiner must determine how much weight to attribute to the characteristics he or she has noted. Using a combination of training, experience and personal skill, a hypothesis is gradually formed and tested until the examiner arrives at an opinion with a chosen level of confidence. This is usually not an overnight process, either. Most examiners prefer to revisit their evidence more than once on different days \u2013 looking at the information with fresh eyes. What is perhaps a two to four-hour examination is accomplished in a series of short visits over two or more days.\nHandwriting comparisons are performed to identify a writer, to confirm the authenticity of a writing or to eliminate a writer as the author of a given document. If you have a document with handwriting in question and send it to a be analyzed, don\u2019t expect magic, but do expect attention to detail, careful circumspection and an unbiased opinion from your forensic document examiner.\n(This article is a description of an examination of photocopies, not original \u201cwet\u201d ink handwriting)",

        "raw_content": "Michelle Carter is going to jail nearly five years after she convinced her boyfriend to kill himself\nA Massachusetts judge on Monday ordered Michelle Carter to start serving her sentence for persuading her boyfriend to kill himself in 2014.\nCarter was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in June 2017 after a judge determined that her texts to Conrad Roy III persuaded him to kill himself.\nBristol County Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz sentenced Carter to 15 months in jail in August 2017, but he allowed her to remain free while she appealed her conviction.\nIn a ruling this month, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court upheld Carter's conviction, saying the evidence showed that her conduct caused Roy's death by suicide.\nOn Monday, deputies led Carter out of the Taunton, Massachusetts, courtroom after Moniz granted the Commonwealth's request to revoke the stay of her sentence.\nThe case raised free speech questions about whether a person should be held responsible through their words for someone else's actions.\nCarter's lawyers said they filed an emergency motion on Monday asking to extend the stay of her sentence while she appeals her conviction to the US Supreme Court.\n\"The Roy family is glad to have this aspect of the case over,\" the family's attorney, Eric S. Goldman, said in a statement. The family continues to pursue a civil claim for damages and hopes to establish a fund in their son's name to educate people about suicide prevention.\nCarter was 17 years old when Roy, 18, died in July 2014. The case hinged on text messages between the two in which Carter urged Roy to kill himself.\nProsecutors argued that Carter listened over the phone as Roy suffocated from carbon monoxide inhalation in his pickup truck and failed to notify his parents or authorities when he died.\nCarter's lawyers argued that her words encouraging Roy's suicide, \"however distasteful to this court, were protected speech.\"\n\"Massachusetts would be the only state to uphold an involuntary manslaughter conviction where an absent defendant, with words alone, encouraged another person to commit suicide,\" the attorneys said in their motion.\nIn the February 6 ruling , the state's highest court ruled that Carter \"helped plan how, where, and when\" Roy would kill himself. Carter \"downplayed\" Roy's fears about how his death by suicide would affect his family, the judges said, and \"repeatedly chastised him for his indecision.\"\nCarter's attorney said earlier this month that the ruling upholding the conviction was based on a narrative the evidence did not support.\n\"Today's decision stretches the law to assign blame for a tragedy that was not a crime. It has very troubling implications, for free speech, due process, and the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, that should concern us all,\" lawyer Daniel Marx said.",

He took it home, listed it on eBay, and it sold fast. Wanting to repeat that success, he went back to ShopKo, but there were no more air mattresses on clearance. The only way to get more was to place a $1000 order directly from the manufacturer. That\u2019s a big investment for a newly married college student, but he convinced his wife to empty their savings and fill their living room with air mattresses.\nThe air mattresses sold quickly, which inspired the launch of AirBeds4Less.com, a site specializing in raised air mattresses, which were so hard to find at local stores, even Walmart.\nOur early successes in the air mattress industry led us to create a growing family of online stores that help frustrated shoppers buy items that are hard to find and high in demand. We sell a surprising variety of products, from balance bikes for children to high-tech snorkeling equipment, from premium air mattresses to luxury pet beds. If you would like to see our products, check out our brands page.\nWhen we started, we mainly sold products created by other companies. Since then, we have added our own brands into the mix. As Fox Webstores continues to grow, we are committed to expanding our own brands with a high standard of quality and affordable, while maintaining friendly, individualized service for our customers.\nOur 30,000 sq. ft building has a huge amount of space.

Most of these newly discovered activities depend on its position within the cell. GRP78 is located mainly in the ER, but it has also been observed in the cytoplasm, the mitochondria, the nucleus, the plasma membrane, and secreted, although it is dedicated mostly to engage endogenous cytoprotective processes. Hence, GRP78 may control either UPR and macroautophagy or may activated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pro-survival pathways. GRP78 influences how tumor cells survive, proliferate, and develop chemoresistance. In neurodegeneration, endogenous mechanisms of neuroprotection are frequently insufficient or dysregulated. Lessons from tumor biology may give us clues about how boosting endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms in age-related neurodegeneration. Herein, the functions of GRP78 are revealed at the center of the stage of apparently opposite sites of the same coin regarding cytoprotection: neurodegeneration and cancer. The goal is to give a comprehensive and critical review that may serve to guide future experiments to identify interventions that will enhance neuroprotection.\nSeveral systems, including the nervous system, have a remarkable ability for repair under stressful conditions. Conserved intrinsic mechanisms counteract damaging effects of endogenous and/or exogenous toxic agents. Under circumstances of damage, intrinsic pro-survival pathways, that collectively are termed endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms, are activated. Endogenous protective mechanisms have been mainly investigated in diverse pathological states such as vascular diseases, trauma, and cancer. The question of why neurodegenerative diseases occur even when beneficial mechanisms have been triggered deserves in-depth analysis. GRP78 appears to orchestrate several of these endogenous mechanisms. We herein describe the characteristics and known functions of GRP78, explore its roles in tumor cell survival, proliferation, and chemoresistance and reflect on how this knowledge should guide investigations into its functions in neuroprotection.\nTranscriptional and Post-translational Regulation of GRP78 Levels\nGRP78 has multiple functions in maintaining cell viability. Its expression is highly regulated at different points. At the transcription level, GRP78 is encoded by the gene Hsp5a. It is the most abundant protein within the heat shock protein-70 (Hsp70) family, but, unlike the other members of this family, it is not induced by heat shock because the promoter of GRP78 lacks the heat shock element. Levels of GRP78 are maintained at relatively low levels within the cell and are increased considerably under stresses that affect the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and calcium homeostasis. Indeed, GRP78 was initially discovered in 1977 as a 78-kDa protein strongly induced in chicken embryo fibroblasts cultured in glucose-free medium (Shiu et al., 1977). Later, it was observed that GRP78 expression can be induced by other stimuli such as calcium ionophore A23187 (Resendez et al., 1985), calcium depletors or chelators such as thapsigargin and BAPTA-AM (Suzuki et al., 1991), and inhibitors of the protein secretory pathway such as tunicamycin (Lee, 1987). The upregulation of GRP78 expression under such a variety of stressful stimuli is mainly due to the presence of conserved elements in the promoter of the Hsp5a gene (Li and Lee, 2006) such as a CCAAT box (Resendez et al., 1988), a cAMP responsive element CRE-like (CREB; Alexandre et al., 1991), and the ER stress response element (ERSE; Resendez et al., 1988). Transcription factors that bind to these regulatory elements, including CBF/NF-Y (Roy and Lee, 1995), CREB, activating transcription factor 2 (ATF-2; Chen et al., 1997), YY1, YB1, Sp1 (Li et al., 1997), ATF4 (Luo et al., 2003), TFII (Parker et al., 2001), ATF6 (Yoshida et al., 2001b), and XBP1 (Yoshida et al., 2001a), participate in the regulation of Hsp5a gene (Figure 1).\nFigure 1. Graphical summary of the regulation and activities promoted by GRP78 within a cell. Induction and regulation of the transcription of the HSP5a gene is mediated by several transcription factors that bind to ERSE or CREB motifs in the promoter of the gene. Alternative processing of its pre-mRNA can occur under stressful conditions leading to retention of intron 1 (yellow line) that advance an stop codon, giving to GRP78va truncated protein that is retained in the cytosol because it lacks the ER-signaling motif (purple triangle). Commonly processing GRP78 is submitted under post-transcriptional regulation either due to the action of factors on its IRES motif or by the action of different miRNAs. GRP78 is found mainly in the luminal ER where it can promote the activation of the UPR, ERAD, or MAM regulation. In some circumstances, GRP78 can be translocated to the cell surface where it can interact to multiple partners and hence modulate different pathways. It is also be secreted where it can immunomodulate.\nThe post-transcriptional regulation of GRP78 is mediated by the activation of internal ribosome entry sequence (IRES) in the 5\u2032 untranslated region of GRP78 mRNA (Macejak and Sarnow, 1991). IRESs are often present in mRNAs that encode proteins crucial for cell survival and stress recovery. Thus, in circumstances where repression of global protein synthesis is promoted, GRP78 mRNA is selectively translated (Yang and Sarnow, 1997). In some situations, the presence of the IRES serves to amplify translation of GRP78 mRNA. For instance, after infection of foreskin fibroblasts with human cytomegalovirus, activation of the GRP78 IRES by the viral machinery results in a 3\u20134-fold increase of at the mRNA level but about a 50-fold increase at the protein level (Buchkovich et al., 2010). Other viral infections, including herpes simplex virus type 1 and poliovirus, have also been reported to activate the GRP78 IRES (Kim et al., 2001; Saffran et al., 2010). Several cellular proteins are implicated in the translational activation of the GRP78 IRES including NS1-associated protein NSAP1, SSB/La autoantigen, p50, and p95 (Yang and Sarnow, 1997; Kim et al., 2001; Cho et al., 2007; Figure 1).\nAnother post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism acts on protein stability. It has been shown that activation of PI3K/AKT pathway in ER-stressed HEK-293 cells leads to an increase in GRP78 protein stability through unknown mechanisms (Dai et al., 2010). Regulation is also mediated through the action of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) such as miR-181 (Ouyang et al., 2012), miR-181a (Ji et al., 2017), miR-181b (Peng et al., 2013), miR-376a (Iwamune et al., 2014), and miR-30a (Wang P. et al., 2015) that bind to the GRP78 mRNA 3\u2032-untranslated region (Figure 1).\nGRP78 Localization Reflects Multiple Functions\nGRP78 acts as a molecular chaperone (Haas and Wabl, 1983) and binds to nascent polypeptides. Like cytosolic HSP70, it contains an N-terminal ATPase domain and a C-terminal peptide binding domain (M\u00e4\u00e4tt\u00e4nen et al., 2010). GRP78 is also a calcium binding protein. It is inhibited by a high concentration of calcium ions, and its ATPase activity is activated by calcium depletion. Due to the presence of an ER signaling peptide, GRP78 is mainly found in the ER lumen, although under some circumstances it is redistributed to the cytosol, nucleus, mitochondria, or the plasma membrane or is secreted (Suzuki et al., 1991). Thus, different locations prime GRP78 to trigger different molecular signaling events.\nGRP78 Multifunction Associated with the Endoplasmic Reticulum\nAt the ER, GRP78 has diverse functions and relies on a number of interaction partners and co-chaperones, nucleotide exchange factors, and signal transducers for its various activities. The diversity of functions include translocating nascent polypeptides, facilitating de novo protein folding and assembly, targeting misfolded proteins to endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) machinery, and maintaining calcium homeostasis (since it is as a luminal calcium ER binding protein; Gardner et al., 2013). GRP78 is usually the first chaperone to bind a nascent polypeptide chain and prefers to bind surfaces with alternating aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids. GRP78 shifts to its tighter affinity substrate binding conformation after ATP hydrolysis to ADP (Blond-Elguindi et al., 1993). Several partners participate in this process. The hydrolysis of ATP by GRP78 is stimulated by ER resident J-domain co-chaperones (ERdj), ERdj1 and 2, homologs of yeast Sec63 (Otero et al., 2010), and also to co-chaperones such as P58(IPK) (Tao and Sha, 2011). In addition, the ADP-bound closed state of GRP78 is re-opened by exchange of ADP for ATP, and this process is enhanced by the nucleotide exchange factors GRP170 and Sil1, also known as BiP-associated protein (BAP; for a review see M\u00e4\u00e4tt\u00e4nen et al., 2010; Figure 1).\nNewly synthesized proteins in the ER are subjected to a rigorous quality control system and misfolded proteins are retrotransported back into the cytoplasm to be degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. GRP78 associates with nascent chains immediately and for properly folded proteins, transiently upon synthesis. However, its association with misfolded or mutant proteins is prolonged (S\u00f6rgjerd et al., 2006). This prolonged association might be a signal for degradation of the bound protein (Petrova et al., 2008). The multistep process of ERAD, is initiated by GRP78 and other ER-resident chaperones that recognize the misfolded protein. Together, these chaperones facilitate deglycosylation and disassembling of misfolded proteins. The chaperones drive substrates to the translocon channel where they are pulled out of the membrane by a complex of proteins with ATPase activity. The emerging substrate is most likely ubiquitinated and addressed to the proteasome for degradation (review in Printsev et al., 2016; Figure 1). ERAD in combination with the ubiquitin-proteosome system (UPS) is thought to be the mechanism for quality control in long-lived cells such as neurons; hence, GRP78 is likely a critical component of the endogenous neuroprotective program.\nEvidence from studies carried out in yeast indicates that when the ERAD system is saturated, macroautophagy removes both soluble and aggregated forms of unfolded proteins and dysfunctional organelles. Macroautophagy can be induced by various forms of cellular stress including nutrient or growth factor deprivation, hypoxia, reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, protein aggregates, damaged organelles, or intracellular pathogens (Klionsky et al., 2016). GRP78 plays a role in autophagic protein quality control, participating in the destruction of misfolded proteins in the cytosol. The autophagic process can be roughly divided into three steps: autophagosome formation, autophagosome-lysosome/late endosome fusion (autophagosome maturation), and degradation. The formation of autophagosomes necessitates the concerted and sequential action of autophagy related (ATG) proteins, originally identified in yeast (Itakura and Mizushima, 2010; Klionsky et al., 2016).\nATG proteins are regulated by conserved nutrient and energy-dependent signaling cascades that crucially involve the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the phosphatidylinositol kinase-related (PIKK) family, and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Starvation, amino acid deprivation, and growth factor withdrawal inhibit mTOR activity and lead to autophagy induction. AMPK is a major positive regulator of autophagy that is activated by low ATP availability (Kroemer et al., 2010). Both mTOR and AMPK control the cascade of events leading to the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase class III (PI3KC3 also known as VPS34; Russell et al., 2013). PI3KC3, together with beclin 1, p150, and ATG14L, translocates to the initiation site of autophagosome formation (Matsunaga et al., 2010). At the ER, PI3KC3-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate production (Axe et al., 2008; Hayashi-Nishino et al., 2009) fosters the formation of the phagophore. The phagophore sequesters cargo before closing in on itself to form the autophagosome. Phagophore expansion requires the conjugation of microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3) to phosphatidylethanolamine, a process also called LC3 lipidation (Kabeya et al., 2000; Hamasaki et al., 2013). The LC3-positive autophagosome sequesters cytoplasmic material by binding to sequestosome 1 SQSTM1/p62. The autophagosome then fuses with an endosome or lysosome for cargo breakdown, and the degraded material is transported to the cytoplasm. SQSTM1/p62 binds LC3 and recruits proteins into autophagosomes for final degradation by lysosomal hydrolases.\nGRP78 acts on the autophagic process at several points. Evidence for a role in the initiation and formation of the autophagosome is based on the finding that GRP78 overexpression increases autophagic signaling by stimulating AMPK (Cook and Clarke, 2012; Wen et al., 2012; Figure 1). In addition, GRP78 can interact to VPS34 and GRP78 overexpression activates the Class III PI3K-mediated autophagy pathway (Li et al., 2015). When GRP78 expression is inhibited, AMPK signaling activation does not occur (Cook and Clarke, 2012) and formation of autophagosomes is blocked (Li et al., 2009), although GRP78 deficiency does not prevent LC3 lipidation. GRP78 also acts at the final steps of macroautophagy since GRP78 binds to misfolded proteins and to SQSTM1/p62 in cells under stress. GRP78 binding induces a conformational change in SQSTM1/p62 that favors cargo delivery into the autophagosome for its subsequent degradation into amino acids (Jin et al., 2014; Kim et al., 2014; Abdel Malek et al., 2015; Cha-Molstad et al., 2015, 2016). Thus GRP78 acts as a chaperone for aggregation-prone misfolded proteins leading to their degradation by macroautophagy.\nMacroautophagy is a pro-survival mechanism activated within the cell under stressful conditions. As it does in macroautophagy, GRP78 has a role in another cytoprotective process, the unfolded protein response (UPR) as well GRP78 (Paschen, 2004). The UPR is well-conserved from yeast to mammalian cells. Impaired processing and folding reactions that lead to an accumulation of misfolded proteins or potentially toxic aggregates, ATP depletion, and disturbances in calcium homeostasis, produce ER stress and UPR activation. To cope with ER stress, UPR activation coordinates the increase in ER-folding capacity through a broad transcriptional upregulation of ER folding, lipid biosynthesis, and ERAD machinery components with a decrease in folding load through selective mRNA degradation and translational repression (Gardner et al., 2013). GRP78 orchestrates the UPR by functionally regulating three ER transmembrane proteins that act as the main effectors: inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1), activating transcription factor 6 (ATF-6), and protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK; Schr\u00f6der and Kaufman, 2005; Wang and Kaufman, 2016). GRP78 binds to IRE1, PERK, and ATF6 in unstressed cells and dissociates from these UPR sensors during acute ER stress (Bertolotti et al., 2000; Okamura et al., 2000; Shen et al., 2002; Figure 1).\nIRE1 can also be directly activated by binding to unfolded proteins. Although ligand-induced oligomerization activates IRE1 (Shamu et al., 1994), GRP78 association stabilizes the inactive, monomeric form of IRE1 preventing its over response to low levels of ER stress (Korennykh et al., 2009; Pincus et al., 2010; Gardner and Walter, 2011). The RNase activity of IRE1 generates spliced mRNA encoding the X-box binding protein (XBP1), and XBP1 protein upregulates the expression of GRP78. ATF6 is cleaved by site 1 protease (S1P) and site 2 protease (S2P) to generate a p50-ATF6 fragment that has transcriptional activity. Upon cleavage, the p50-ATF6 fragment upregulates the expression of GRP78 through an ERSE in the promoter region of the GRP78 gene as mentioned above. PERK has a kinase domain that phosphorylates the translation factor eIF2a, thereby suppressing most of the de novo protein synthesis during ER stress but stimulating the translation of certain mRNAs, including that encoding ATF4.\nAll of these processes are necessary to attenuate the accumulation of unfolded proteins during ER stress. IRE1 and ATF6 are especially critical in the prevention of ER stress-induced apoptosis via their upregulation of GRP78 expression (Gardner et al., 2013). Prolonged activation of IRE1 and CHOP can trigger apoptosis in cells under certain physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions (Szegezdi et al., 2006). In normal physiology, UPR-induced apoptosis may be a means to eliminate the few cells in an ER-stressed environment that remain uncorrected despite the actions of the UPR. Overexpression and antisense approaches in cell systems show that GRP78 can protect cells against cell death caused by disturbance of ER homeostasis (Morris et al., 1997; Yu et al., 1999; Jeon et al., 2016). Overexpression of GRP78 attenuates ER stress, both by enhancing protein folding and by helping to maintain IRE1, ATF6, and PERK in their inactive states (Bertolotti et al., 2000; Laybutt et al., 2007) and preventing CHOP induction to avoid apoptosis (Wang et al., 1996; Oyadomari and Mori, 2004).\nGRP78 at the Mitochondria and the Mitochondria-Associated ER Membrane\nGRP78 has also been observed in the mitochondria in association with co-chaperones known to be involved in calcium-mediated signaling between the ER and mitochondria that is important for bioenergetics and cell survival. ER stress and UPR signaling induce the overexpression of GRP78, which results in its mitochondrial localization. Sub-mitochondrial fractionation studies showed that GRP78 is mainly localized in the intermembrane space, inner membrane, and mitochondria matrix (Sun et al., 2006). GRP78 plays a direct role in controlling efflux of calcium ions from the ER by closing the Sec61 channel during protein translocation and in the absence of translocation (Hamman et al., 1998; Haigh and Johnson, 2002; Alder et al., 2005). In addition, upon calcium depletion from the ER via the inositol trisphosphate receptor IP3R, the calcium-sensitive co-chaperone sigma receptor 1 (Sig1R) dissociates from GRP78 and associates with IP3R, thereby protecting the otherwise unstable IP3R from ERAD and prolonging calcium signaling to the mitochondria (Hayashi and Su, 2007; Figure 1).\nSecreted and Cell-Surface GRP78\nFinally, GRP78 can be located at the plasma membrane where it is cytoprotective. In cultured cells, the ER stress agent, thapsigargin, actively promotes cell surface expression of GRP78, as the increase in cell surface GRP78 is several fold higher than the increase in intracellular GRP78 induced by thapsigargin (Zhang et al., 2010). Nonetheless, ER stress is not required for cell-surface localization of GRP78. Ectopic expression of GRP78 can induce its translocation in the absence of ER stress as indicated by the lack of CHOP induction. Moreover, deletion of the carboxyl-terminal ER-retention signal (KDEL) alters GRP78 relocation. This suggests that the KDEL retrieval system plays a significant role in regulating how much GRP78 leaves the ER.\nAlthough GRP78 translocation have been studied mainly in cancer cell lines and have been found to be cell context-dependent (Tsai et al., 2015), there exist some common details for its mechanism of action. GRP78 can be translocated and anchored to the cell surface by binding to the ER-co-chaperone HTJ-1/MTJ-1 (Birukova et al., 2014; Figure 1). The translocation is promoted by accumulation of oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OxPAPC), a phospholipid that directly interacts with GRP78, induces membrane accumulation of the GRP78/HTJ-1 complex and its targeting to caveolin-enriched microdomains (Birukova et al., 2014). Once the complex is at the membrane, it activates Src/Fyn kinase leading to assembly of the PI3K complex and activation of mTOR and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1. This in turn results in cortical actin cytoskeletal remodeling in endothelial cells. Thus, GRP78 regulates OxPAPC-mediated cytoskeletal remodeling.\nIn the plasma membrane, GRP78 functions as a signal-transducing receptor or co-receptor for soluble ligands such as \u03b12-macroglobulin (\u03b12-M; Misra et al., 2005b), tumor differentiation factor (Sokolowska et al., 2012), and vaspin (Nakatsuka et al., 2012). Other molecules that bind to GRP78 include glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins, for example, T-cadherin (Philippova et al., 2008) and Cripto, the teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor (Shani et al., 2008), among others (Ni et al., 2011). In-depth details of activated downstream signaling due to these interactions have been extensively reviewed by Ni et al. (2011). The binding of GRP78 to most of these ligands activates the AKT/PI3K pro-survival pathway (Misra et al., 2004, 2006; Philippova et al., 2008; Figure 1). Soluble Cripto has also been shown to bind cell-surface GRP78/BiP initiating PI3K and MAPK signaling via Src activation (Gray and Vale, 2012) or binding directly to c-Src (Gu et al., 2015). Indeed, cell-surface GRP78 is also involved in cell-matrix adhesion by \u03b11-integrin interaction and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) regulation. This interaction has been related to cell migration and invasion process, an effect partly mediated through its association with uPA\u2013uPAR protease system (Li et al., 2013). The interaction with \u03b11-integrin, considered also important for axonal regeneration, might be interesting to be further explored since GRP78 was found to promote neurite outgrowth in vitro (Satoh et al., 2000). Other interacting partners have been recently described that appear to be related to neurodegeneration which will be discussed below in other sections.\nA recent study using a combination of biochemical, mutational, FACS, and single molecule super-resolution imaging approaches, reports that GRP78 mainly exists as a peripheral protein on plasma membrane via interaction with other cell surface proteins including glycosylphos-phatidylinositol-anchored proteins since it lacks a true transmembrane domain (Tsai et al., 2015). In addition, the authors discovered that cell-surface GRP78 expression requires its substrate binding activity but is independent of ATP binding.\nAccordingly, GRP78 has also been observed as a secreted protein even in the human peripheral circulation (Delpino and Castelli, 2002). Secreted GRP78 can be found as well in the oviduct where apparently modulates sperm-zona pellucida binding (Mar\u00edn-Briggiler et al., 2010). In a totally different context, the extracellular GRP78 has been proofed to have powerful immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties by increasing IL-10 and reducing TNF-\u03b1 (Corrigall et al., 2004; Panayi and Corrigall, 2014; Figure 1). This observation suggests that it would be relevant to determine such immunomodulatory property within the central nervous system.\nAlternative Variants of GRP78 in the Cytoplasm\nIn addition to its localization in membrane-associated structures and organelles, GRP78 is observed in the cytoplasm. GRP78 can be relocated from the ER to the cytoplasm through several mechanisms: (i) via the ERAD pathway (Duriez et al., 2008), (ii) via a Bax/Bak-dependent change in membrane permeability produced during ER stress-induced apoptosis that allows luminal proteins to flow out (Wang et al., 2011), (iii) through GRP78 alternative splicing of GRP78 nuclear pre-RNA. The alternative processing results in retention of intron 1, which leads to an mRNA with an alternative translation initiation site and a premature stop codon that causes the loss of the ER signaling peptide in the encoded truncated isoform termed GRP78va (Ni et al., 2009; Figure 1).\nCancer cells are characterized by altered glucose metabolism, and the tumor microenvironment is marked by impaired blood flow and hypoxia, all of which can cause ER stress. GRP78 is involved in several aspects of cancer development including tumor survival and proliferation, chemoresistance, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Many tumor cells overexpress GRP78 on the outer plasma membrane. In addition, in different types of cancer, such as those of prostate, breast, and melanoma origins, abnormally high GRP78 expression is correlated with tumor resistance, greater risk for cancer recurrence, and an overall decrease in patient survival (reviewed in Pfaffenbach and Lee, 2011). Thus, GRP78 at the cell surface has been postulated to be a promising target for cancer therapeutics and a useful prognostic marker.\nThe utilization of knockdown and overexpression techniques and genetic mouse models has furthered our understanding of the role of GRP78 in cancer. In a transgene-induced endogenous mammary tumor model, GRP78 haploinsufficiency resulted in delayed tumor latency, decreased tumor proliferation, and increased apoptosis (Wang et al., 2010). Strikingly, in mice harboring bi-allelic conditional knockouts of both GRP78 and PTEN in the prostate epithelium, prostate tumorigenesis was potently arrested, providing the first evidence that GRP78 is required for tumorigenesis driven by loss of PTEN and activation of the PI3K/AKT oncogenic pathway (Fu et al., 2008). Indeed, ligation of cell-surface GRP78 by antibody slowed growth rate and blocked PI3K/AKT signaling (Misra and Pizzo, 2010b).\nThrough formation of complexes with other proteins on the cell surface such as \u03b12-M or Cripto, GRP78 is reported to mediate tumor cell signal transduction. Autoantibodies from serum of prostate cancer patients against a segment of GRP78 (Leu 98-Leu115) induces cell proliferation, suggesting that these antibodies serve as agonists of activated \u03b12-M, which recognizes the same site of GRP78 (Gonzalez-Gronow et al., 2006). The interaction of \u03b12-M with cell-surface GRP78 promotes cell proliferation by activating ERK1/2, p38 MAPK, and PI3K and enhances cell survival by inducing the AKT and NF-kB signaling cascades (Misra et al., 2004, 2006). In addition, in highly metastatic and invasive 1-LN prostate cancers, cell-surface GRP78 acts as a receptor for activated \u03b12-M leading to activation of PAK-2, and together with LIMK and cofilin phosphorylation, increases motility enhancing metastasis (Misra et al., 2004, 2005a). Another pathway is triggered by binding to Cripto oncoprotein. The complex of Cripto and GRP78 enhances tumor growth via inhibition of TGF-\u03b2 signaling. Furthermore, blockade of Cripto binding to cell-surface GRP78 by an antibody against the N-terminus of GRP78 inhibits oncogenic Cripto signaling and this involves the MAPK/PI3K and Smad2/3 pathways (Kelber et al., 2009). A commercial polyclonal antibody directed against the C-terminus of GRP78 was reported to induce apoptosis in melanoma cells (A375) and prostate cancer cells (1-LN, DU145) but not in the PC-3 prostate cancer cell line. GRP78 expression was undetectable on the surface of the PC-3 cells but was present on the other cell types (Misra et al., 2009). The proposed mechanism is that this antibody leads to suppression of Ras/MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling (Misra et al., 2009; Misra and Pizzo, 2010a,b).\nA different pathway has also been revealed recently. Katherine L. Cook and collaborators showed that GRP78 specifically inhibits de novo fatty acid synthesis in breast cancer cells and reduces mitochondrial \u03b2-oxidation through inhibition of mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT1a), which catalyses the primary regulated step in overall mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (Cook et al., 2016).\nIt has been suggested that GRP78 acts in concert to coordinate tumor cell growth to accommodate cancer cells to nutritional changes through facilitation of macroautophagy (Li et al., 2015). In agreement, one study showed that functional blockade of the proteasome induces GRP78, promoting autophagosome formation and enhancing myeloma survival (Abdel Malek et al., 2015). In tumor cells this activation can lead to autophagic degradation of I\u03baB kinase, which caused inactivation of NF-\u03baB pathway, an important mediator of apoptotic signaling.\nThe alternative cytosolic form, GRP78va is also important in tumorigenesis. This isoform is overexpressed in leukemic cells and leukemia patient samples. In the cytosol, GRP78va may associate with P58(IPK), which acts as inhibitor of PERK during UPR, antagonizing it and increasing cell survival under ER stress (Rutkowski et al., 2007). This study suggested that GRP78va has the potential to influence survival of cancer cells in adaptation to ER stress through modulating UPR signaling.\nIn summary, tumor cells use GRP78 to orchestrate the stimulation of processes such as macroautophagy, to combat the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and to activate pro-survival signaling pathways.\nAge-related neurodegenerative diseases are commonly associated with the accumulation of misfolded and aggregated proteins and the presence of oxidative stress, calcium dysregulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, particularly at the mitochondria-associated ER membrane (MAM). Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and prion-related diseases, have different clinical manifestations, but all present common events that also occur in neurodegenerative processes triggered by brain ischaemia or trauma. Aging, which is a risk factor for most neurodegenerative diseases, is accompanied by decreases in activity of several endogenous neuroprotective mechanisms that certainly may contribute to their etiopathogenesis.\nGRP78 in Alzheimer's Disease\nAD is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive alterations and memory loss. Early-onset cases of autosomal-dominant familial AD (FAD) are often caused by mutations in the genes encoding amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) or presenilin proteins (PS1, PS2). Aspartyl proteases PS1 and PS2 are components of the \u03b3-secretase complex that, together with \u03b2-secretase, process APP to produce amyloid-\u03b2 peptides (A\u03b2) of 40 and 42 amino acids (A\u03b240, A\u03b242). Hallmark lesions in AD are amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, both arising from protein misfolding. In plaques there is an abnormal increase in the A\u03b242:A\u03b240 ratio, whereas neurofibrillary tangles are composed of the aberrantly phosphorylated tau protein (Mattson, 1994).\nThe bulk of immature APP associates with GRP78 in the ER. GRP78 facilitates correct folding of APP and modulates intracellular APP maturation and processing (Yang et al., 1998; Kudo et al., 2006). Under ER stress, overexpression of GRP78 retains APP in the early secretory compartments resulting in a reduction of A\u03b2 generation because \u03b2/\u03b3-secretase activity itself is thought to be located in late secretory compartments, such as the Golgi apparatus and endo-lysosomal system (Kudo et al., 2006). In other way, GRP78 is a key player in APP processing also through ERAD. Some authors have found that another ER-resident protein dnj-27 (the ortholog of mammalian ERdj5), which works as an enhancer of ERAD together with GRP78 and EDEM, protects against the aggregation of both A\u03b2 and \u03b1-synuclein (\u03b1-syn), involved in PD pathogenesis, in C. elegans (Mu\u00f1oz-Lobato et al., 2014).\nGRP78 levels are two-fold higher in AD temporal cortex and hippocampus compared to non-demented control cases as shown by immunohistochemistry. This increase was found in neurons in AD brains that were still healthy and that do not co-localize with neurofibrillary tangles indicating that GRP78 overexpression may slow down neurodegeneration (Hoozemans et al., 2005). Intriguingly, in the triple transgenic mice bearing FAD-linked mutations in APP and presenilins (3xTg-AD), which serve as an AD model, GRP78 levels are increased only by 1.5\u20132-fold in 2 month-old 3xTg-AD mice compared to controls, and this increase is associated with the presence of accumulated toxic A\u03b2 peptide (Soejima et al., 2013). It is remarkable that this level of overexpression of GRP78, reported in vivo in this animal model and similar to those observed in post-mortem human AD tissue, is minor compared to the levels induced by ER stress (e.g., by using tunicamycin) in a wild-type animal, which can be more than 3-fold in several tissue types (Li et al., 2012; Gal\u00e1n et al., 2014). This observation suggests that the degree of GRP78 level increased in AD models and human AD neurons might be insufficient to cope with sustained ER stress. This observation is supported by age-related difficulties for GRP78 increase after ER stress as described further down in the aging section. In addition, it would be interesting to know where GRP78 is located within the neurons in AD tissues, as its functions depend on localization as discussed above. Importantly, the extracellular chaperone \u03b12-M, a ligand of GRP78 at the plasma membrane, is co-localized with plaques in AD (Yerbury and Wilson, 2010), and it has been shown both to protect cells from A\u03b2 toxicity and to favor A\u03b2 removal from the brain (reviewed in Yerbury and Wilson, 2010). It is likely that some of these beneficial effects occur through the intervention of GRP78, although this has not been demonstrated yet.\nTau hyperphosphorylation is another pathological hallmark in AD brain and other Tauopathies. In a recent study, it was found that overexpression of GRP78 induced tau hyperphosphorylation via activating glycogen synthase kinase-3\u03b2 (GSK-3\u03b2), an important tau kinase in AD brain, and increased the association with tau and GSK-3\u03b2. This was concurrent with SIL1 down regulated expression (Liu et al., 2016). However, when the authors forced the expression of both proteins prevented ER stress-induced tau hyperphosphorylation and GSK-3\u03b2 activation suggesting the importance of ATP binding activity for beneficial effects promoted by GRP78.\nIn addition to APP processing, other abnormalities have been found associated to AD pathology where GRP78 can have also an opportunity for neuroprotection. Calcium level is dysregulated in AD brains, although its role in pathology is not well-understood. Calcium signaling may act even upstream of APP processing, as elevations in Ca2+ can increase production of oligomeric A\u03b2 peptides (Itkin et al., 2011). Indeed, stabilizing ER calcium with dantrolene, a ryanodine receptor antagonist, restores normal synaptic function and plasticity and reduces amyloid load in the brains of 3xTg AD mice and knock-in FAD mice (reviewed in Frazier et al., 2017). A recent review by Area-Gomez (Area-gomez and Schon, 2016) proposed that the pathogenesis of AD might be mediated by increased ER-mitochondrial communication, which may cause aberrant increases in calcium trafficking between the two organelles, unusual phospholipid profiles, perturbed cholesterol homeostasis, changes in mitochondrial function and morphology, and an increased A\u03b242:A\u03b240 ratio. In particular, the authors argue that the altered ER membrane topology at the MAM in AD could explain the shift in the location of the \u03b3-secretase cleavage toward A\u03b242. In this regard, GRP78 localized at the MAM might have an important role in neuroprotection as a calcium binding protein.\nOne mechanism through which A\u03b2 peptides cause cytotoxicity is by production of ROS via facile copper-redox cycling (Barnham et al., 2004), which can, in turn, result in oxidative damage to neuronal proteins and lipids (Mark et al., 1997). Imbalances in ROS production and detoxification are strongly implicated in AD neurodegeneration, as reflected by cerebral elevations in oxidized lipids and proteins (Sayre et al., 1997; Greilberger et al., 2008). According to recent studies revealing important roles of GRP78 in regulation of lipid content and inhibition of lipotoxicity resulting from lipid peroxidation and ROS generation (Cook et al., 2016) it is possible that overexpression of GRP78 can have neuroprotective properties against ROS as well.\nFinally, sporadic AD (SAD) comprises the vast majority of AD cases. Mutations in the gene encoding apolipoprotein E (ApoE), particularly the ApoE\u03b54 allele, are the strongest genetic risk. ApoE\u03b54 promotes transient membrane cholesterol loading, which increases A\u03b242 secretion and its accumulation in plaques in patients with AD and in cognitively normal people (reviewed in Sato and Morishita, 2015). Cholesterol and phospholipids have been shown to modulate the activity of APP-related secretases (Di Paolo and Kim, 2011). ER function is also affected by lipid composition and lipid biosynthetic enzymes (Lagace and Ridgway, 2013). Exogenous expression of GRP78 by adenoviral administration reduces liver lipogenesis by inhibiting activation of the central lipogenic regulator, the sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, SREBP1-c (Kammoun et al., 2009). Further, supporting the hypothesis that GRP78 modulates lipid metabolism, GRP78 heterozygous mice are resistant to obesity when placed on a high fat diet (Ye et al., 2010). Overexpression of GRP78 reduces the expression of lipogenic genes and plasma triglycerides and rescues the levels of the ER-processed ABCG5-G8 heterodimer transporter of cholesterol in the liver of obese mice lacking the receptor of leptin (db/db mice; Wang Y. et al., 2015). The mechanisms by which GRP78 functions in lipid and cholesterol management are far from clear, particularly in the brain, in light of these results in other tissues, it would be very interesting to further investigate its involvement in the lipid-related pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.\nGRP78 in Parkinson's Disease\nParkinson's disease is an idiopathic movement disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and the presence of Lewy bodies. Lewy bodies are distinct protein inclusions composed of aggregated \u03b1-syn. Studies on post-mortem brain samples have revealed immunoreactivity for UPR activation markers (Bellucci et al., 2011). Indeed, \u03b1-syn induces ER-stress and activates the UPR pathway in dopaminergic neurons in the SNc (Gorbatyuk et al., 2012).\nIn cell and animal models of \u03b1-syn accumulation, there is evidence that GRP78 forms a complex with \u03b1-syn (Bellucci et al., 2011; Colla et al., 2012; Gorbatyuk et al., 2012). Interestingly, both the level and localization of GRP78 are altered in different models of PD. For instance, in a rabbit model of PD, it has been demonstrated that GRP78 translocates from the ER to the nucleus and cytosol in response to treatment with MPP+, which causes a marked reduction in Tyrosine Hydroxylase-positive cells in the SNc (Ghribi et al., 2003). In cultured neurons, extracellular \u03b1-syn binds to GRP78 located at the cell surface, triggering a signaling cascade leading to cofilin 1 inactivation and stabilization of microfilaments, thus affecting morphology and dynamics of actin cytoskeleton. Inactivation of cofilin 1 and stabilization of actin cytoskeleton also occurs in fibroblasts derived from PD patients, suggesting that extracellular GRP78 might be the responsible. Dysregulation of actin turnover has been shown to lead to deficits in synaptic function that normally precede neurodegeneration in PD models. In addition, the interaction with extracellular \u03b1-syn renders GRP78 sequestered and clustered at the cell surface, which impedes its proper recycling toward the ER and results in a virtual depletion from the ER. Accordingly, overexpression of GRP78 was found to be neuroprotective, through a mechanism that involves decreases in the levels of UPR target genes, preventing the loss of dopaminergic neurons and dopamine in the SNc (Ni et al., 2011).\nGRP78 in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis\nALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, involving the selective degeneration of motoneurons in the spinal cord, most of the brainstem, and the cerebral cortex. Many different mutations are associated with familial ALS, but all lead to protein misfolding and aggregation. These mutations are in genes encoding superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), TAR DNA-binding protein 43-KDa, FUS, and other proteins. SOD1 aggregates have been observed in patients with sporadic ALS (Ezzi et al., 2007; Chattopadhyay et al., 2008; Bosco et al., 2010). Mutant SOD1 aggregates, but not wild-type SOD1, forms high molecular weight species that interact with GRP78 as observed in microsomal fractions of spinal cords derived from mouse models of ALS (Kikuchi et al., 2006).\nSaxena's group investigated the pattern of expression of the ER folding network in vulnerable and resistant motoneurons and found that the ER folding network has a relevant role in ALS (Maharjan and Saxena, 2016). Remarkably, the knock-in mice that express mutant GRP78 lacking the KDEL sequence have age-related motor problems concomitant with loss of selective vulnerable motoneurons and aggregation of wild-type SOD1 reminiscent of ALS symptoms (Bosco et al., 2010; Jin et al., 2014). Several co-chaperones of GRP78, such as SIL1 and Sig1R, are important in ALS. SIL1 is mostly expressed in resistant motoneurons, suggesting it is involved in neuroprotection. Accordingly, SIL1 deficiency enhances ALS pathology, whereas SIL1 overexpression affords significant neuroprotection related to improved ER proteostasis and reduced SOD1 aggregation (reviewed in Rozas et al., 2017). Chronic treatment with PRE084, an agonist of Sig1R lead to increase neuroprotection of motoneurons in a mouse model of ALS (Mancuso et al., 2012). For all these reasons, it is possible that overexpression of GRP78 would mediate neuroprotection in ALS patients.\nGRP78 in Prion-Related Diseases\nHuman prion diseases are rare, rapidly progressive, invariably lethal neurodegenerative diseases, symptomatically characterized by severe memory impairment and a general decline in cognitive functions, which may include motor, linguistic, executive, and social skills (Wadsworth et al., 2003). Most often, human prion diseases have a sporadic etiology [e.g., sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD)], but hereditary (e.g., fatal familial insomnia and Gerstmann-Str\u00e4ussler-Scheinker syndrome), and infectiously acquired [e.g., iatrogenic CJD, kuru, and variant CJD (vCJD)] forms of the disease also exist. Prion diseases have also extensively been described in animals; these include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle and scrapie in sheep.\nAt the neuropathological level, human prion diseases are characterized by the accumulation of pathological prion protein (PrPSc), neuronal loss, astrogliosis, and spongiosis. During human prion disease progression, normal prion protein (PrPC) is converted into insoluble, \u03b2-sheet rich PrPSc aggregates. Once formed this pathological PrPSc conformer ensures conversion of native PrPC into PrPSc and propagation of pathology to neighboring cells (reviewed in Wadsworth et al., 2003). One study reported increased expression of GRP78 and several other ER chaperones in post-mortem brain samples of sCJD and vCJD patients, although signal was not compared to controls (Hetz et al., 2003). In brain tissue samples from animals naturally infected with BSE, GRP78 is upregulated only by up to 2.3-fold (Tang et al., 2010). Increases in UPR markers such as GRP78 are thought to be an attempt of the neurons to cope with ER stress and are essentially markers of neuroprotective processes as mentioned. In a recent study, Jin and collaborators showed that GRP78 interacts transiently with PrPc in the ER, in agreement with its involvement in the folding of nascent PrPc polypeptides (Jin et al., 2000). GRP78 might remain associated for an extended period of time with some isoforms of mutant PrP causing its subsequent retrotranslocation for proteasomal degradation and so preventing the formation of homo-aggregates (Jin et al., 2000). It will be interesting to determine whether boosting GRP78 expression further will lead to neuroprotection as was demonstrated for another chaperone GRP58 (Hetz et al., 2005).\nGRP78 in Neurodegenerative Processes after Ischemia or Trauma to the Nervous System\nNeurodegeneration is a secondary event after traumatic brain injury and ischaemia. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is a sublethal ischemic episode that engages endogenous cytoprotective mechanisms to protect cells from subsequent severe ischemia (Zhang et al., 2015). As suggested by researchers in the field, uncovering the mechanisms of brain ischemic preconditioning might lead to the development of effective treatments for ischemic cerebrovascular disease that could be exploited therapeutically. Several studies have observed that IPC leads to upregulation of GRP78, which activates autophagy. Accordingly, specific suppression of GRP78 with pharmacological and genetic approaches inhibits autophagic activation and abolishes ischemic tolerance (reviewed in Zhang et al., 2015).\nOverexpression of GRP78 is important for protection of astrocytes after ischemic injury as it reduces the flux of Ca2+ from the ER to the mitochondria, increases Ca2+ uptake capacity in isolated mitochondria, reduces free radical production, and preserves respiratory activity and mitochondrial membrane potential after stress (Ouyang et al., 2011).\nAfter trauma, it has been demonstrated that GRP78 plays a relevant role. After abrupt proximal axotomy or avulsion of the nerve root, a retrograde neurodegenerative process occurs in spinal motoneurons. In contrast to root avulsion, after distal axotomy, motoneurons can engage signaling pathways that allow them to survive and regenerate. In these conditions, GRP78 is downregulated during neurodegenerative processes but overexpressed in the regenerative condition (Penas et al., 2009, 2011a). Indeed, forced expression of GRP78 or pharmacological activation of its co-chaperone Sig-R1 in a root avulsion model leads to neuroprotection (Guzm\u00e1n-Lenis et al., 2009; Penas et al., 2011a,b). These observations suggested that GRP78 plays a relevant role activating endogenous neuroprotection and that its effects can be mimicked to exert neuroprotection in different conditions.\nGRP78 during Aging\nA commonality in neurodegenerative diseases is that the UPR is not correctly activated. In ex vivo human diseased brain tissue and in vivo models, there is significant depletion of ER molecular chaperones involved in the UPR despite ER stress (Lee et al., 2010; Gorbatyuk et al., 2012; Drake, 2015). Although, the mechanisms that underlie UPR dysfunction are unclear, aging might be a determinant factor. It has been reported that during aging, the quality control mechanism becomes inefficient since ER chaperones are less responsive to ER stress, as evidenced by decreased levels and activities of ER chaperones in aged tissue (Nuss et al., 2008). This defect has been attributed to increased oxidation of several key ER chaperones (Rabek et al., 2003), which would agree with the mitochondrial free radical theory of aging (Cadenas and Davies, 2000).\nIn particular, a reduction in GRP78 levels has been observed during aging and throughout progression of degenerative disorders (Paz Gavil\u00e1n et al., 2006). Old mice (20\u201324 months old) have 20% less GRP78 ATPase activity than young mice (3\u20135 months old), which is consistent with a 2-fold higher level of GRP78 carbonylation in old mice. Such findings support the hypothesis that loss of ER or other cellular functions, often seen in age-related diseases, is caused by the life-long accumulation of oxidative damage to key proteins (Nuss et al., 2008; Salganik et al., 2015). Another study reported that there was about 73% less GRP78 mRNA in old (900 days old) compared to young (21 days old) rats, suggesting that loss of GRP78 activity and the associated physiological declines occur at both the protein and transcript levels (Erickson et al., 2006). This suggests that the loss of GRP78 function could be a predisposing factor for neurodegenerative disorders associated with age (Brown and Naidoo, 2012).\nA decrease in macroautophagy with age has also been reported in a variety of systems (Martinez-Lopez et al., 2015). The exact mechanisms by which protein aggregation contributes to neuronal degeneration remain to be fully elucidated; however, accumulating evidence suggests that defects in autophagy-related pathways contribute substantially to premature aging (Rajawat et al., 2009) and neurodegeneration (Ravikumar et al., 2004). Indeed, landmark studies have demonstrated that enhancing autophagy confers a protective effect in AD, PD, and Huntington's disease (reviewed in Ntsapi and Loos, 2016), whereas genetic suppression of basal autophagy causes neurodegeneration (Hara et al., 2006; Komatsu et al., 2006).\nSuccessful and precise targeting of the autophagy process in the clinical setting has thus far not been accomplished, but it would be very interesting to know whether restoring GRP78 levels after ER stress in an aged-brain improve autophagy efficiency, reduces the extent of mitochondria dysregulation and protein aggregation.\nGRP78 or BiP is a very important protein. It has a relevant role to promote survival in tumor cells by activating potent endogenous cytoprotective mechanisms. Regarding these lessons, it is possible that engaging the same mechanisms in the nervous system this would be capable to cope with multiple stressful situations in the course of a disease. Multifunctional GRP78 can elicit neuroprotection by attenuating ER stress, managing misfolded proteins to avoid its accumulation, inducing macroautophagy, buffering calcium unbalance, facilitating mitochondria-ER crosstalk and activating pro-survival signaling pathways. Thus, GRP78 is an excellent target to take into consideration for neuroprotective therapeutical strategies targeting specifically neurons to avoid any putative undesirable side effect although GRP78 itself is not proto-oncogenic.\nCC has performed all the tasks necessary to carry out this review.\nThis was supported by the Ministerio de Econom\u00eda y Competitividad of Spain (#SAF 2014-59701).\nGRP78, 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein; UPR, unfolded protein response; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; PI3K, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; Hsp70, heat shock protein-70; ERSE, ER stress response element; CREB, cAMP responsive element CRE-like; IRES, internal ribosome entry sequence; NSAP1, NS1-associated protein; miRNA, microRNA; ERdj, ER resident J-domain co-chaperones; ERAD, endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation; AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinase; IRE1, inositol-requiring enzyme 1; ATF, activating transcription factor; PERK, protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase; XBP1, X-box binding protein; Sig1R, sigma receptor 1; IP3R, inositol trisphosphate receptor; KDEL, carboxyl-terminal ER-retention signal; OxPAPC, oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine; \u03b12-M, \u03b12-macroglobulin; CPT1a, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a; ROS, reactive oxygen species; ApoE, apolipoprotein E; SREBP1-c, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c; MAM, mitochondria-associated ER membrane; SNc, substantia nigra pars compacta; SOD1, superoxide dismutase 1; AD, Alzheimer's disease; sCJD, sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; vCJD, variant CJD; BSE, bovine spongiform encephalopathy; PD, Parkinson's disease; PrPSc, pathological prion protein; IPC, ischemic preconditioning; PrPC, prion protein; ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; FAD, autosomal-dominant familial AD; PS, presenilin; APP, amyloid beta precursor protein; A\u03b2, amyloid-\u03b2 peptides; \u03b1-syn, \u03b1-synuclein.\nAbdel Malek, M.

        "raw_content": "As much oil as the United States produces, it still must import 40 percent of the oil we need for transportation. Much of that imported oil comes from OPEC member nations and other countries that don\u2019t share our values. Reducing our dependence on oil will shrink its power and influence, making the U.S. a stronger nation.\nImproving our National Security\nExtremist groups have a wide array of revenue streams that fund their deadly operations. Selling illicit oil on the black market is a major one. But over the past two years, we\u2019ve seen how the falling price of oil can upend this equation.\nThe Islamic State, or ISIS, used oil sales more efficiently than any other terrorism organization, seizing control of oil fields in Iraq and Syria as it swept across the region. In 2014, when oil was trading at $115, these sales allowed ISIS to kill and spread mayhem at will. But oil has plunged more than 50 percent since then, shrinking this key funding source for jihadists.\nThe impact has been startling: ISIS was forced to slash payments to fighters and other employees. In 2016, The Washington Post reported on the release of a cache of internal ISIS documents that revealed the group\u2019s financial woes:\nAl-Tamimi, a research fellow with the Philadelphia-based Middle East Forum, said the document does not reflect bonuses that might be paid to some of the group\u2019s members for service on the front lines. But he said the low wages proffered are another reflection of the challenges faced by a terrorist group that has seen steep drops in revenue from oil sales as well as the physical destruction of some of its cash holdings.\nWhen the price of oil drops, it takes money out of the pockets of terrorist groups and hostile regimes that harbor dangerous ideologies. Cutting those revenues then restricts the ability of extremists to carry out attacks. But the price of oil can spike without warning, so we need to ensure that oil remains low permanently.\nThe best way to dilute the oil monopoly is to use more alternative fuels at the pump, like ethanol, methanol, and compressed natural gas.\nIf more of the vehicles we drive today could consume fuels other than gasoline and diesel, the importance of oil would diminish. The influence and power enjoyed by the hostile regimes that control much of the global supply of oil would shrink as well.\nMuch of the debate surrounding the recent proposal to lower fuel\u2026\nSeptember 20, 2018/by Robin Vercruse\nThere is one issue that unites America like no other: the pursuit\u2026\nThe task of securing the global supply and transit of oil falls disproportionately to the U.S. military.\nThe United States has spent some $10 trillion over the past four decades to protect oil production and supply routes in the Persian Gulf, according to an analysis by Roger Stern, an economic geographer at Princeton University. \u201cThe massive investment in Persian Gulf force projection essentially precludes U.S. ability to project force elsewhere,\u201d he told TIME.\nEven if we produced all the oil we need domestically, we\u2019d still be at the mercy of a volatile global market. Our dependence on imported oil means hundreds of billions of dollars leave the U.S. every year to oil-exporting nations, many of whom don\u2019t share America\u2019s values or are outwardly hostile to U.S. interests.\nWhen there is a threat to the supply chain from violence or instability in the Middle East, too often the U.S. is forced to intervene. As Amory Lovins, a scientist and energy policy expert, puts it in the documentary PUMP: \u201cOf course we have other interests in the region. It\u2019s not all about oil, but it\u2019s hard to believe that we would have fought a couple of wars there, and sent lots of troops there, if Kuwait just grew broccoli.\u201d\nThe United States bears too much of the burden for security in the Middle East, just so the world can maintain access to reasonably priced oil. Without oil, and without cost-effective alternatives, the global economy would cease to function. By opening up the fuels market to alternatives like ethanol, natural gas, and electricity we can reduce our oil dependence. We can build a world where we don\u2019t need to send our sons and daughters to hostile places to ensure we have a steady supply of crude.\nIn his State of the Union Address on Jan. 23, 1980, President Carter talked a great deal about oil. \u201cOur excessive dependence on foreign oil is a clear and present danger to our nation\u2019s security,\u201d he said.\nLater, he discussed the urgency of protecting the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, a \u201cwaterway through which most of the world\u2019s oil must flow.\u201d He added: \u201cLet our position be absolutely clear: An attempt by any outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region will be regarded as an assault on the vital interests of the United States of America, and such an assault will be repelled by any means necessary, including military force.\u201d\nTime and again, the U.S. has made good on that promise, establishing dozens of military bases in the region and maintaining a constant presence of troops to ensure the free flow of oil. The Middle East also consumes a disproportionate share of our diplomatic efforts, because of our need for oil produced in this part of the world.\nOur oil addiction leads us to enter into alliances with countries that don\u2019t share our democratic values. Many of these allies trample on the civil rights of their own citizens. Yet they claim an outsize importance on the world stage because, thanks to the luck of geology, they possess a commodity the U.S. and other Western nations desperately need to keep their economies functioning.\nAdding alternative fuels like ethanol, natural gas, and electricity to the transportation sector could end our dependence on oil as the only transportation fuel for the majority of vehicles. Diminishing oil\u2019s strategic importance would allow the U.S. to shift its foreign policy to other regions, and other peoples, that receive little attention from the world\u2019s greatest power.",

        "raw_content": "0:07Skip to 0 minutes and 7 secondsWelcome to the food and activity diary analysis. My name's Dr Natasha Barrett, and I'll be helping you get started in the analysis of your diary. This week, we've been learning about the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, and the ways that people can try to slow down or prevent them from occurring through lifestyle choices, such as diet and activity levels. You've been monitoring both your diets and activity levels in a diary, and now we're going to analyse it. You have a choice of two worksheets, one on food and one on activity. If you're short of time, you may wish to use just one of the worksheets. But if you've got more time, then of course work through both of them.\n0:47Skip to 0 minutes and 47 secondsThis process has three stages. First, the analysis worksheet will guide you through collating the data from your diary. This will take a little bit of time. Next, you're going to analyse your data by comparing your values to typical values and the recommended values in the UK. How many people eat the recommended five portions of fruit and veg per day? By analysing your diary, you'll be able to see where you meet the recommendations and where you don't. And what about physical activity? How many of us carry out the 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity per week in blocks of 10 minutes or more?\n1:28Skip to 1 minute and 28 secondsThe third stage is when you have the option of anonymously uploading your data to the course site. This automatically calculates course averages that we'll then be able to discuss. One of the great things about this activity is that it not only helps deepen your understanding of the topic, but it also lets you reflect on your lifestyle choices. If after competing this activity, you feel you'd like to change either your diet or activity levels, seek appropriate advice where necessary. For example, some people should only undertake physical activity under the supervision or recommendation of their health care provider, whilst dietary changes can both affect and be affected by both medications and other medical conditions, such as diabetes.\n2:16Skip to 2 minutes and 16 secondsSo again, medical advice may be necessary. So to get started, choose which one you're going to do first, and then work through the appropriate worksheet. I look forward to seeing what you've all been eating and doing in the last couple of weeks by looking at the course averages and discussing the patterns that we see. Lifestyle choices, such as not smoking, eating a healthy diet, and taking regular activity are all important ways for us to gain ownership of our health. I hope that you enjoy this activity and find it both useful and helpful in deepening your understanding of the topic.\nFood and activity diaries: Introduction to analysis\nOver the last four weeks you have been invited to complete a diary of your food intake and activity levels. In the next few steps we\u2019ll look at how to analyse this data and understand what your results might mean for your heart health.\nIf you\u2019re short of time you might like to focus on analysing just your food diary, or your activity diary.\nWe\u2019ll provide you with two worksheets that you can use to collate the data from your diaries, plus full guidance on how to use the worksheets and what to do with your data. Once you\u2019ve collected all of your information, you\u2019ll have the chance to enter it into an anonymous poll, which will allow you to see how you match up to the average of learners across the course. You\u2019ll then have the chance to discuss these findings with other learners. Remember that you don\u2019t have to share any personal details or let other people see your data.\nWhat will this data tell me?\nThis analysis will give you an insight into the average diet and activity levels of learners on this course. It\u2019s important that you remember that this shouldn\u2019t be used diagnostically \u2013 making changes to your lifestyle based on the data in this exercise could have a negative impact on your health. If you\u2019re concerned about your diet or your activity levels you should speak with a healthcare professional who will be able to give you advice based on your specific situation.\nIntrigued?

Exploring Current...\n0:11Skip to 0 minutes and 11 secondsAll nurses need to be familiar and aware of their transferability of nursing care across geographical and national boundaries. When I was working as a nurse a long time ago in Africa, I was caring for a lady dying of Cancer. As is part of my role to advocate for effective pain management, I rang the Consultant and suggested it was time that we began the use of diamorphine to control her pain. The Consultant responded by suggesting that if I could get him diamorphine in South Africa, he would willingly use it to control the pain of all his patients.\n0:50Skip to 0 minutes and 50 secondsI learned a valuable lesson, that in some parts of the world the drugs that are available to care for patients with pain are not available in all nursing contexts. Another example is the use of codeine in many of the preparations that we are able to buy in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. If you are caught with codeine containing medications in your luggage in some parts of the world, you will be arrested. This is just to highlight for you the differences in political, economic aspects and influences on our care and the pharmaceutical preparations for example that are available to us.\n1:37Skip to 1 minute and 37 secondsIn addition to the political and economic influences on nursing practice, you have just been introduced to a number of other significant issues affecting contemporary nursing. This included stress, international migration and professional image. In similarity with the political and economic influences, the origins of stress and international migration affect countries very differently. We encourage you to engage and participate in all the resources. The course has been designed by nurses to develop your understanding of factors which affect our profession. So enjoy the resources and make the most of this opportunity.\nConcluding the course and looking ahead\nIn this video, Kim Craig concludes by highlighting some of the main areas covered during the course.\nAt the beginning of the course we asked a big question: what is the key factor contributing to global nursing shortages?\nOver the last two weeks we have explored this question, considered the interrelationships between a range of issues which matter to all nurses, and reflected on our approach to such challenges. The issues explored are especially significant because how the profession responds will determine the shape of nursing in the future.\nDuring this course you have:\ndiscussed key challenges for contemporary nursing practice\nidentified factors contributing to the global nursing shortage\nreflected on strategies to address the main challenges\nexplored interrelationships between key issues\nThis short course is the introductory two-week course for a Program in Contemporary Issues in Nursing which forms part of the MSc Nursing online degree at Coventry University delivered on FutureLearn.\nIn the next course of this Program, Professionalisation of nursing is our primary focus. We will examine the legitimacy of nursing to the description of a profession through a range of approaches and assess the challenges posed to the profession by economics and politics, health needs and the attribution of caring to the role of a nurse.\nYou will be guided to extend your level of engagement and self-direction to your studies, and to evidence your learning continually to gain feedback. The resources retain a structure which aims to be inclusive, using illustrations from across the world to promote a culture of learning based on the sharing of different perspectives and of inquiry.\nNursing in Crisis?

        "title": "The History of Astrology |",
        "raw_content": "The History of Astrology for Modern Day Seekers\nLittle did I know 30 years ago when I mistakenly purchased an Astrology book, believing it to be a novel, I had just opened the door to an ancient system of insight and divination. A system as it turns out that would profoundly change my life. Like Alice through the Looking Glass, I fell into a world of signs and symbols representing some of humankind\u2019s earliest observations and collective wisdom dating back almost 5,000 years.\nToday astrology and astronomy are distinct and separate disciplines. This wasn\u2019t always so. Approximately 2000 B. C. our ancestors watched, studied, and mapped the movement of constellations of stars and planets as these celestial bodies appeared to rise over the Eastern horizon, and move on their appointed course across the sky. What at first must have seemed like random occurrences or chaos began to appear as purposeful patterns.\nBased on years of watching this cosmic dance, observers created theories. Knowledge of repeating patterns became useful tools to predict seasons and weather conditions. These in turn guided the planting and harvesting of crops, migrations from one geographical area to another, and similar behaviors. In no small way, I am indebted to these early astrologers for painstakingly crafting observations into recommendations. Otherwise, I might be planting my vegetable garden in February instead of May! Hopefully it comes as no surprise that we are the fortunate recipients of our ancestors due diligence in connecting the celestial dots.\nFrom the Egyptians to the Babylonians, to the Greeks, and Romans, the growing body of knowledge known as Astrology spread across the world. Why? Because it works. Success with predicting weather and natural disasters evolved into more sophisticated and complex theories and beliefs. These allowed devotees to take another leap and use the mapping of the celestial bodies to understand and predict events in the lives of human beings.\nSoon it was not just farmers who relied on Astrology, but also kings and rulers kept cosmic savvy advisors by their sides. Great philosophers and mathematicians including Ptolemy, Plato, Aristotle, Copernicus and Sir Isaac Newton were among those scientists who experimented with the application of theories of astronomy and astrology. Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician is quoted as saying \u201cA physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician.\u201d Historically Astrology has been used to plan important actions ranging from declaring war to celebrating a wedding.\nThroughout the history of Astrology, various cultures adopted these principles in one form or another. Systems were revised and adapted. In some cases, cultures developed their own fairly unique versions and interpretations. For example, there are 5 chinese zodiac elements (fire, wood, earth, metal, and water) and 12 animals. Today, Vedic and Western Astrology are probably the most popular and prevalent systems, with Western Astrology also known as Tropical, being the most familiar. (As a Western Astrologer, this article reflects my understanding and experience with this version.)\nWe Are More Than Our Sun Signs\nWhat first grabbed my attention and made me give Astrology a second look, was realizing the history of astrology provides a rich, complex, but cohesive picture that involves not only the Sun, but all the known planets in our solar system. \u201cWhat\u2019s your Sun Sign?\u201d is not only an antiquated pick-up line; it\u2019s only the tip of the cosmic iceberg.\nThroughout time, astrologers have developed simple yet sophisticated meanings for each of the planets. For example, the Sun represents personal ego and how we think of ourselves. The Moon describes emotional expression and may also be a key to understanding the relationship with our mothers. Mars represents motivation; Saturn is the planet of discipline; and so on. The real practice of astrology is far more complex and interesting than the familiar paragraph predictions based on Sun Sign Astrology. However, these pithy daily, weekly, or monthly horoscopes can be amazingly accurate and helpful!\nComparing Sun Sign Astrology to the usual more comprehensive practice of Astrology feels something like this. It\u2019s the difference between telling you I am a woman; or telling you I am a woman raised by Catholic parents with nine siblings, with a master\u2019s degree in business, a practicing animal communicator, convinced chocolate is one of the major food groups, and has a thing for James Bond movie music. Can you appreciate the richness and depth in the second approach?\nGetting useful information using Astrology usually begins with the calculation of a chart. Simply, it is a picture of the earth and the surrounding constellations and planets at a specified time. Historically astrologers have recognized 12 star constellations which in turn are associated with the 12 Astrological Signs \u2013 Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer and so on. Most often, Astrology charts are drawn as circles and divided into 12 sections that look like pie wedges. Each of the 12 constellations or signs has its place around the perimeter of the circle of the chart. Each of the pie wedges are referred to as Houses each representing an area of life. For example partnerships, home, parents, siblings, work, career, money, friendships, and health as well as other important components are represented.\nCharts are drawn according to mathematical calculations factoring in time, and location. Using the calculations along with ancient charts and graphs, an astrology chart for a specific individual birth or event can be drawn. Thank God for computers and modern astrological software. They make it possible for modern day astrologers to cast charts simply and with great precision. Having started out manually casting charts with blank paper, pencil, calculator and reference books, I have great appreciation for those who preceded me and for those software innovators!\nThe History of Astrology can be fascinating. But let\u2019s face it. What interests me more is what can I do with it now? Why should I bother?\nAstrology is used very effectively in the hands of competent practitioners as a tool for choosing the perfect date for a wedding, a root canal, or launching a successful business. However, one of its greatest contributions is in demystifying the human psyche. Astrological interpretation provides the basis for building a psychological profile of an individual or event based on the placement of the planets in Astrological signs and in the 12 chart houses at the time of birth. Along with planets, signs, and houses, astrologers carefully consider the interaction and relationship of each planet to the others. Collectively, we can build an insightful picture.\nAstrology charts hold the keys to understanding many of life\u2019s conundrums. They can describe how a person is likely to express their feelings. Do they take their cue from the air element and think them over or talk them out? Maybe they get physical like doing housework, mowing the lawn or chopping wood to work out frustration or anger. We can look at Mercury for clues to how a person thinks, learns or shares information. An Astrology chart also holds information about where we feel wounded, alone, alienated or ineffective. Fortunately they also can tell us about our strengths and greatest personal assets.\nLike all tools, Astrology is best left in the hands of experienced and trustworthy practitioners. The good news is there are plenty available. More good news: astrology may seem complicated and you\u2019ll get no argument from me. However, learning this ancient tool can be easy especially when approached like peeling an onion \u2013 one layer at a time. Every layer can be rewarding and can enrich our lives many times over.\nAstrology remains a controversial science, praised and touted by some, debunked by others. However, history demonstrates its universal appeal.\nIt\u2019s not just you and I who may keep an astrologer on our speed dial. We are in the company of kings, emperors, philosophers, physicians, notable scientists, rock stars, world leaders, entrepreneurs and many others who are open to using the art of Astrology to inform our choices. The key word in that sentence is \u201cinform\u201d. Astrology like many other disciplines and sciences should never become our only point of reference or source of information and guidance.\nHow to Get a Great Astrological Reading\nStart by finding a great astrologer\nAsk friends, family, or co-workers for referrals\nOften metaphysical and spiritually-oriented websites, stores, and businesses can provide names\nDon\u2019t be afraid to ask for references or ask the potential Astrologer for information about their background and their style of reading\nBe clear about the purpose or intention for the reading. Are you looking for general information? Are you trying to schedule an important event like a wedding? Are you looking for clarity about your love life or maybe you want direction about changing careers or starting your own business\nMost people remember only a small fraction of what they hear. If you are interested in getting a recording of your session, make this arrangement before your appointment\nAssume the posture of a student or \u201cbeginner\u2019s mind\u201d. If you have a genuine intention of hearing valuable information or gaining insight, chances are you will\nDon\u2019t leave your rational mind, intuition or common sense at home. Although you are relying on an expert, no one\u2019s opinion should be more important than your own. As many have stated or paraphrased before, \u201cDon\u2019t be so open minded your brain falls out\u201d\nExpect that much of what you hear will confirm what you already know or suspect about yourself, your emotions, your attitudes, beliefs, motivations and personality. That being said, it\u2019s lovely to get confirmation\nResist the temptation to dismiss information without at least considering it. It\u2019s very typical that clients tell me something they initially did not understand or found difficult to accept, later was proven accurate and true. This includes very positive qualities. It is sometimes hard to hear and accept reflections that are positive about ourselves\nRun away as fast as you can, if a reading even hints at manipulation or a reader attempts to coerce you into a behavior that is uncomfortable. This includes suggestions that you are under a spell, possessed, or in some way under a black cloud or karmic obligation the Astrologer can release in exchange for something \u2013 usually money! I\u2019m embarrassed that I even have to mention this one; but unfortunately, in every profession there are those whose integrity or ethics are suspect\nUnless your situation or question is very serious, have fun. And even if your situation is serious, try to enjoy yourself when you explore astrology.\nC.A. Brooks\nAstrology, the art of interpreting the placement and movement of the planets is similar to a cosmic weather report. Are there blue skies ahead or should we plan for some turbulence? This spring Mars \u2013 which represents desire, action and motivation \u2013 is the planet to watch, as it metaphorically slows down and appears to move backwards. How will this influence us globally and personally? Is this a good time to buy a house, fall in love or neuter the cat?\nC. A. Brooks is a professional psychic astrologer, tarot reader, and animal communicator. In addition to her private practice, she writes a weekly astrology column for Mark\u2019s Power Peek, at 12House.com, is a Psychic Advisor at 12Listen.com, teaches astrology classes at the Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore in Denver, Co, and on-line at 12Academy.com, and hosts two weekly radio shows.

        "raw_content": "Delusional Worksop man who killed his parents is jailed for almost 18 years\nKamil Dantes\nA \u2018delusional\u2019 drug user who once thought his parents were imposters wearing \u2018skin masks\u2019 has been told he must spend almost 18 years at a secure mental health unit after stabbing them both to death with kitchen knives.\nNottingham Crown Court was told that the attack carried out by Kamil Dantes was so ferocious that he snapped the blade of one knife as it was embedded in his mother\u2019s skull.\nLeszek and Malgorzata Dantes\nThe 29-year-old then calmly went back downstairs to get another knife before returning to the bedroom and killing his disabled father.\nLeszek and Malgorzata Dantes, both aged 54, were found dead at their home in Hardwick Road East, Worksop, on Monday 21st April, 2014.\nDantes had called the police at 6.55am that morning and said that he had killed two people and needed an ambulance because he had injured his hands.\nMedical experts said Dantes had a history of delusions and showed symptoms associated with schizophrenia that stretched back a number of years and for which he had been receiving treatment.\nDantes even admitted using cannabis every day, and the night before the killings, he said he had taken amphetamine.\nHe had always denied murder, but accepted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, which the crown prosecution service accepted.\nThe judge, Mr Justice Haddon-Cave said: \u201cYour exact motivation may never be known, but what is known is that you subjected them to the most ferocious attack.\n\u201cThe police saw the most terrible scene of death.\n\u201cOne can only imagine the horror that your mother and father felt at being attacked by their son.\u201d\nThe hearing was told how the Polish-born Dantes had move to Britain when he 22, and had worked shifts at a sandwich factory along with his parents.\nBut Dantes\u2019 mental health began to deteriorate and even once told doctors that his parents had died years ago and the two people he lived with were imposters and were wearing \u2018skin masks\u2019 of his parents, comparing it to the John Travolta movie \u2018Face-Off\u2019.\nHe later retracted the statement saying he been \u2018watching too many films\u2019.\nHe was put on medication to control his behaviour and appeared to be improving.\nDespite regular visits to doctors in the months leading up to the attack, he hid the fact he was still smoking cannabis regularly.\nThe night before he killed his parents, he had been unable to sleep after taking amphetamine.\nIn the early hours he went into the kitchen and took a knife, concealing it before heading up to his parents\u2019 bedroom.\nHe knocked on the door and when his mother answered, he stabbed her between 20 and 30 times, breaking the knife.\nHe then fetched another knife and attacked his father who was in bed, stabbing him 20 times.\nHis father had been left disabled by a stroke in 2013 and could do little to defend himself, although stab wounds to both parents\u2019 hands showed they had tried put up some resistance.\nMr Justice Haddon-Cave said: \u201cIt\u2019s clear you were harbouring dark thoughts for killing your parents for some time.\n\u201cYou committed the most serious of offences, you attacked them in their bedroom, you killed one parent in the presence and sight of the other.\n\u201cYou intended to kill and used brutal force.\n\u201cWhat is very clear from your deteriorating mental health have much to do with your drug abuse, and in particular your cannabis habit.\n\u201cIt\u2019s yet another example of the dangers of cannabis abuse and it\u2019s ability to induce psychotic behaviour in young men.\n\u201cIn this case the consequences were terrible and tragic.\n\u201cI\u2019m satisfied that you remain an ever-present serious threat to others, including members of your family. You are likely to attack them because of your paranoid and persecutory beliefs.\u201d\nHe ordered that Dantes spend at least 17 years and 354 days in custody at Rampton Secure Hospital.\nHe had been given credit for his early guilty pleas and time already spent on remand.",

        "raw_content": "Eugene Robinson: A power to act on warming\nThe test of President Obama's seriousness about addressing climate change is not his pending decision on the much-debated Keystone XL pipeline. It's whether he effectively consigns coal-fired power plants -- one of the biggest sources of carbon emissions -- to the ashcan of history.\nSince his re-election, Obama has signaled a new focus on climate change. \"Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms,\" he said in an inaugural address that devoted eight sentences to the issue, more than he spent on any other item on his policy agenda.\nThe strong words from Obama were a welcome surprise. Few doubted that the president understood and accepted the scientific consensus about humankind's impact on the climate. His dramatic toughening of automobile fuel-economy standards, announced last year, was a major step that will eventually produce great benefits. But it has been unclear whether he is prepared to take similarly bold action to mitigate the other big source of atmospheric carbon dioxide: emissions from power plants.\n\"If Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will,\" Obama vowed in his State of the Union speech. That's what I'd call unequivocal.\nAs if Obama needed more of an incentive, a new National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration study published last month in the journal Geophysical Research Letters confirms that temperatures have been rising ever since the Industrial Revolution -- when the burning of fossil fuels dramatically increased -- just as climate scientists have been telling us.\nThe difference with this study is that it does not rely on direct temperature readings, which climate-change skeptics deride as skewed and unreliable. Nor does it use data from examination of tree rings. Instead, it relies on proxy data from 173 sources such as ice cores, lake and ocean sediments, mineral deposits and historical records of agricultural harvests -- all of which are sensitive to temperature. Plotted on a graph, the upward trend looks just like climate scientists said it would.\nEarlier this month, tens of thousands of demonstrators rallied in Washington to urge Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline, which would ship crude oil from the Athabasca tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to ports in Texas along the Gulf Coast. Organizers claimed it was the biggest climate protest ever in the United States.\nActivists say the process of extracting oil from the tar sands generates more carbon emissions than conventional means of oil recovery. It is true that the pipeline might accelerate exploitation of the tar sands. But the oil is likely to be extracted eventually, regardless of the pipeline decision.\nMeanwhile, about 40 percent of U.S. carbon emissions come from power plants, and coal-burning plants produce far more emissions than facilities that use other fuels -- more than twice as much, per unit of electricity generated, than plants burning natural gas, for example.\nLow prices for natural gas have caused utilities to switch fuels. Ten years ago, according to the Energy Information Administration, half of the nation's electricity came from coal-fired plants and less than one-fifth from plants burning natural gas. Last year, just 37 percent was generated by coal -- and about 30 percent by natural gas.\nObama has the opportunity to cut carbon emissions by hastening a transition already under way -- without action by the hostile Republican majority in the House or the nervous Democratic majority in the Senate.\nThe Environmental Protection Agency has the power -- I'd call it a duty -- to issue rules limiting carbon emissions per unit of electricity generated. Tough, science-based rulemaking would give utilities an incentive to switch from coal to gas -- and effectively guarantee that no new coal-fired plants would be built.\nObama has to weigh the political impact on Democratic elected officials in coal-producing states such as West Virginia. But coal-state Democrats are already under pressure because of the shift to natural gas that just happens to be occurring while a Democrat is in the White House. They will have to deal with voters' economic concerns whether Obama acts or not.\nNatural gas is not a panacea. The extraction process known as \"fracking\" -- responsible for the current glut -- raises serious environmental concerns. Ultimately, the only way to halt climate change is to wean the global economy from its dependence on fossil fuels.\nBut that is a journey of many years.

        "raw_content": "Smaller Fish in Bigger Ponds- M&A lookouts\nSeptember 5, 2017 September 8, 2017 gervanora\nMergers and Acquisitions are something which pharma industry cannot stay away from. 2015 was completely swapped by merger trend with AbbViee acquiring Pharmacyclics; a leader in the hematological oncology market for a hopping price of $21 billion [1] [2] whereas 2016 saw a complete downfall. The M&A fever doesn\u2019t seem to be slowing down even in 2017. As the companies continue with their product success and growth in the market but somewhere they still have to struggle with regulatory and commercialization challenges. Furthermore, the economical pressure on the markets is also pushing up; so the easier way is to create value and surpass it is through mergers and acquisitions.\nThe big pharma companies often face challenges with outsized costs and time required for R&D whereas smaller companies struggle with commercialization, so the best way out is to get allied to bring in adequate revenue. The Big Pharma companies acquire smaller ones to strengthen their existing assets or get new pipelines- instead of doing it from scratch. These companies often acquire or ally with promising startups in order to develop their technology and forward it to commercialization. Giant companies such as Johnson and Johnson are eyeing early stage innovation to extent their efforts; it has motivated and incubated many technology based companies. In start of 2017, Johnson and Johnson acquired Actelion for a whopping price of approximately $30 billion in cash. [3] In June 2017, Actelion became part of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson. Actelion\u2019s medicines help expand and strengthen Janssen\u2019s portfolio with leading, differentiated in-market medicines and promising late-stage compounds. Janssen has added Pulmonary Hypertension as a therapeutic area of focus to maintain the leadership position; Actelion has built in this important disease area. The other major transaction in the first quarter of 2017 is acquisition of Ariad Pharmaceuticals for $ 5.2 billion by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. [4] [5]\nMedtronic, the global medical devices manufacturer known for its stents is looking out for startups for intellectual property aligned with its portfolio of chronic ailments. Medtronic plc and Glooko, the trusted leader in diabetes data unification and analytics have an agreement since 2015. [6] The partnership will incorporate information from Medtronic insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors (CGM) into Glooko\u2019s secure, unified, cloud and mobile-based diabetes management platform. Glooko will receive $35 million where it plans to build its sales, marketing and development teams. In general, oncology market is being a popular area of investment within the industry. Konica Minolta, Inc. and Ambry Genetics Corporation have signed an agreement to acquire Ambry. [7] Konica has been struggling to boost its flagship multifunctional printer business. The acquisition of Ambry and the advancement of precision medicine mark a strategic and important shift for Konica Minolta\u2019s healthcare business. With Ambry\u2019s genetic testing capability and Konica Minolta\u2019s advanced imaging technology it will create the most comprehensive range of healthcare diagnostics for use by pharmaceutical companies, healthcare providers, payers, and consumers. Pfizer, a leader in oncology acquired Medivation, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing small molecules for oncology, for $81.50 a share in cash for a total enterprise value of approximately $14 billion in 2016 with an intention to accelerate revenue growth and drive overall earnings growth of Pfizer. [8]\nLooking at the overall scenario of bigger companies investing in smaller ones for M&A deals while they are bit hesitant to invest in new in-house research and development activities so the only way out is making investment in startups for R&Ds. These companies are usually acquired when they are in the last phase of development. Smaller companies often lack with commercialization which bigger companies have good hold so the merger between a big company and a small company is like using one another for its own benefit. With the change in the global economic position; mergers and acquisitions still have a long way to go in the remaining months of 2017.\n1. https://news.abbvie.com/news/abbvie-to-acquire-pharmacyclics-including-its-blockbuster-product-imbruvica-creating-an-industry-leading-hematological-oncology-franchise.htm\n2. https://news.abbvie.com/news/abbvie-completes-acquisition-pharmacyclics.htm\n3. https://www1.actelion.com/media/media-releases?newsId=2113719\n4. http://investor.ariad.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=118422&p=RssLanding&cat=news&id=2234984\n5. https://www.takeda.com/newsroom/newsreleases/2017/Takeda-Completes-Acquisition-of-ARIAD-Pharmaceuticals-Inc/\n6. http://newsroom.medtronic.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=251324&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2056781\n7. https://www.konicaminolta.com/about/releases/2017/0706_01_01.html\n8. http://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer_completes_acquisition_of_medivation\nMedical Devices Rules, 2017- A Need of the Hour",

        "raw_content": "9:00 AM \u2013 12:00 PM GMT\nWHAT IS THE 2030 SDGs GAME?\nThe 2030 SDGs Game is a multiplayer, in-person, card-based game that simulates taking the \u201creal world\u201d into the year 2030. Designed in Japan in 2016, this experience has become a powerful and impactful social phenomenon in Japan, earning extensive media coverage and reaching over 15,000 participants last year. 2030 SDGs Game events are held in corporate, governmental, educational, and community settings, and now has over 200 trained facilitators in a rapidly growing community within Japan. Now, due to a growing demand to bring the game to the rest of the world, we have created an English edition and are beginning to introduce it to a wider audience overseas. The game is designed to be played with anywhere from 5 to 50 players. The game sees participants working together and in groups to explore how the world can achieve your group\u2019s sustainability goals. The Creative Question : Will you create a prosperous, equitable and sustainable world by 2030? The whole experience takes 2 \u00bd hours including playing and reflection.\nWHY WOULD I SPEND TIME ON SUNDAY MORNING TO PLAY THIS GAME?\nThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Agenda 2030 addresses the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice.\nAgenda 2030 is the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all and we have less than 12 years left to achieve the targets.\nThe SDGs are ambitious and can seem overwhelming, simply due to their volume and scope. While dramatic in their potential impact on the world, approaching them can be daunting.\nIn order to achieve these collective targets we need to find new ways of educating, simplifying and synthesizing the Global Goals, news ways of partnering to achieve them and new ways for harnessing our collective talents and intelligence toward the task.\nThe 2030 SDGs Game is one way to educate and inspire new ways of thinking and partnerships for achieving the Goals.\nA game approach has three powerful advantages:\nIt gives people a direct experience of participating in co-creating a sustainable world (\u201cI can do it\u201d; \u201cwhat I do makes a difference.\u201d)\nIt simplifies and makes accessible an extremely complex issue to a level that allows people to begin to understand, while stimulating our natural curiosity to learn more.\nIt activates players\u2019 natural instincts to set their aim toward a worthy goal, simultaneously building confidence and making it enjoyable, while inspiring and motivating players to take action in the real world.\nConsider : what else could you do in one morning, that will make a lasting change in your sense of what is possible and to understand the best potential areas for you to make an impact?\nYou will also have the opportunity to network and explore partnerships with a community of change-makers who are seriously tackling global and local challenges and making measurable progress in respect of the Global Goals.\nWHAT EFFECT DOES THE GAME HAVE?\nThis is an innovative, unique and highly collaborative approach to real world issues. Participants experience a change in perspective. Most players finish the game feeling excited, connected, and ready to take action on the big issues of our world. Players often ask, \u201cWhat can I do next to make a difference?\u201d While players do finish the game with an understanding of the goals, targets, and the various ways the world can achieve these - the change in attitude and worldview is the most significant effect. Where a significant portion of a community or organisation plays this game, the effect is culture change.\nWHO RUNS THE SDGs GAME?\nThis 2030 SDGs Game is hosted during the three (3) day Global Challenges Retreat by U-Solve in partnership with A Fairer Society. The Global Challenges Retreat brings together a select group of impact entrepreneurs from all over the world serious about driving measurable progress in respect of the Global Goals.\nThe game was made by Imacocollabo, a company that focuses on international collaboration. The workshop will be facilitated by Nathaniel Whitestone and supported by Peter Burke. Nathaniel has 35 years' experience of facilitating immersive simulation games and is the first UK-resident facilitator. Peter and Nathaniel are co-founders of A Fairer Society.\nYou can. Anyone, whether working in or running a business, living in the community, politician, in the third sector who is interested in sustainability, thinking about the world in 2030 and looking for avenues to create impact, is welcome.\nThis is a particularly useful exercise for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) managers or budget holders looking to learn more about the SDGs and for inspiration and new ways to align their CSR spending toward SDG progress and to create measurable impact.\nPlease view the following clip for more information on the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aKgVVBdf2M or visit the SDGs Game website.\nHOW CAN I LEARN MORE OR DO MORE?\nThere are opportunities for you to stay for a networking lunch and keynote address after the SDG Game simulation and even to get a VIP Pass to stay for the entire day where you work with experts to craft your own unique path to contribution in respect of the SDGs along with our select group of social innovators from all over the world.

        "raw_content": "Though borders may exist in terms of boundaries and differences of culture, with the increased globalization of society, commonalities between all of us are increasing. As our society continues to grow collectively, the idea of sustainability and the importance it holds in the long term cannot be ignored \u2014 the human factor of sustainability. Currently, there are 1.9 billion children in the world, approximately 20 percent of the global population. Despite the growing numbers of children, the idea of youth education is insufficiently studied. As future citizens of the world who understand how interconnected our lives are with technology and social media, it is imperative for young people to come to the forefront of research now.\nEducation is a fundamental tool that has sustained our society for hundreds of years, preserving values and ideas and striving to provide a better quality of life, a sustainable development. In order to sustain education for humanity, we must connect the opportunities and resources that we have available to help educate our counterparts in nations that may not have the same access on a local level. With this in mind, youth-led research can help bring together the ideas of modern generations for a more open and distributable use. Considering this focus on the importance of youth research and its academic impact on the global community, I have conducted a study on Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) to bring more awareness and provide evidence-based support to global education sustainability. ECCE is the first major stage of education that children experience in their lifetimes, one that is crucial to setting up a child for successful long-term development. Many people eventually forget their experiences in these early stages, but it is crucial to note that ECCE is the foundation for children\u2019s educational, physical, and mental well-being.\nTo enhance my understanding of local systems for my research, I volunteered in India and Tanzania in the summers of 2015 and 2016, respectively, and experienced different environments in which children around the world receive education. The experiences I have encountered during these visits have made me realize the significance of our generation helping each other. While volunteering directly in Jaipur, India, our volunteer team focused on care and building projects at an underfunded school. We built an additional classroom for the school, allowing for separation between grade levels for a more focused education. In addition, we renovated outdated facilities at different schools, helping to improve standards for a better educational and hygienic environment for students. We also played with the children at schools and orphanages to increase students\u2019 interactions in English. My trip as part of a volunteering team to Arusha, Tanzania, focused on similar commitments through care and community works at an ECCE center, where I served as a teacher\u2019s assistant in Mathematics and English classes during the school day and playing with students during time-off. Interactions and conversations with locals have allowed me to better understand and experience children\u2019s educational situations in various communities.\nFrom these experiences, I undertook an initiative to research the cognitive development of children and found that numerous factors, from a community\u2019s perception to statistical factors, such as government budget, affect the overall ECCE quality children receive. I also learned from this research that the primary goals of ECCE are all different depending on a community\u2019s immediate needs, showing that ECCE can benefit not only from educational sustainability but also the sustainability of children\u2019s growth, and thus the community in general. For example, Indian ECCE programs in poorer districts focus on feeding children as their primary goal, while in Tanzania, preparing children for their primary education is the primary goal of ECCE programs.\nECCE plays an important role in all places, but it is most crucial in developing communities as it is necessary for a child\u2019s survival. Children in these developing communities will most likely lag behind those in developed countries; however, programs like ECCE help reduce this \u201cgap\u201d between the wealthy and the poor. Using comparative analysis, interviews, and personal observation notes, my research brings more awareness to the factors that make ECCE programs more effective. This research can be utilized to help create more efficient ECCE programs in developing communities and help the advancement of globalized sustainability.\nAfter considering my personal experiences and the research I have conducted, it is evident that many children in developing communities currently lack proper resources and mental support to fully utilize their intelligence and creativity, the very quality that stimulates their minds and leads to continuous innovation for humanity. Therefore, I am currently working on developing a non-profit organization that helps connect like-minded youths with our counterparts in other nations. This summer, I took an initiative to start building \u201cProject Inspiration,\u201d a long-term project that aims to incubate young children\u2019s creativity and education. Through connecting underprivileged children in developing communities with people in developed communities, this project will help foster and sustain these children\u2019s creativity.\nThe ultimate goal of \u201cProject Inspiration\u201d is to build a long-term and stable global community that provides educational support all year round. With the increased interconnectedness that is now possible due to advancements in technology, we must now create better educational standards globally. It is the only way we can continue to improve standards of living regardless of borders. The matter of sustainability applies to many different spaces, including agriculture, environment, and energy, but society must also prioritize human sustainability.\nWith the help of youth-led research, the visibility of human sustainability must be brought further into public consciousness and there must be more awareness on the importance of education. Though our upbringing and individual experiences differ with cultural context, it is important to see that we all have fundamentally the same goal: to sustain and advance humanity. Education is a critical factor that enables the achievement of all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), working toward a better educated and more globally aware generation.\nPhoto credit: Jung Won Park\nEducation \u2014 and sustainability through investing in education \u2014 is self-sufficient, viable, and continuous. Having an ECCE program that can foster and maintain itself sets a stronger foundation for future growth and decreases the resources needed to achieve the same standard at a later time. Fewer resources are depleted when addressed at an earlier stage, allowing for a more efficient use of these resources. Better education for all children will bring about the ability to grow as adults who are able to provide for themselves and improve their communities. This human investment will result in the improved sustainability of food, energy, economy, and environment. Looking ahead to 2050, ECCE programs can establish themselves as a stepping stone for a healthier generation that better utilizes technological and medical resources currently available to our society.\nEDUCATION, EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE AND EDUCATION, GLOBAL EDUCATION SUSTAINABILITY, SUCCESSFUL LONG-TIME DEVELOPMENT, CHILDREN'S WELL-BEING, VOLUNTEERING, INDIA, TANZANIA, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEVELOPMENT, CONNECT LIKE-MINDED YOUTHS, \"PROJECT INSPIRATION\" INITIATIVE, CHILDREN'S CREATIVITY, UNDERPRIVILEGED YOUTH, PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT, SDG 4 - QUALITY EDUCATION, RADICI3",

        "title": "UCAS 15 deadline - Wrexham Glyndwr University",
        "raw_content": "You are here: Home > blog > posts > UCAS 15 deadline\nIf you\u2019re considering university study in 2017, you\u2019ll be seeing a lot of information about the upcoming UCAS deadline at the moment. It\u2019s going to be on the website of most universities, all over UCAS.com and maybe even in a few newspapers. Does UCAS close after this deadline though? Are you too late to start studying in September 2017 if you slightly over-celebrated New Year and have woken up on January 16?\nThe most important thing is understanding what this \u2018deadline\u2019 actually is. It\u2019s called an \u2018Equal Consideration\u2019 deadline, and this means that any applications received \u2018on time\u2019 (in this case before 6:00pm on Jan 15* 2017) must be given equal academic consideration by the universities you\u2019ve applied to. Universities can\u2019t close courses with a January 15 deadline before that date, even if they have already received way more applications than they have places.\nThis is good for you as an applicant because it means that you don\u2019t have to rush your application to get it finished as quickly as possible. You\u2019re able to spend that little bit more time on a solid application than you maybe would if you knew that time was against you, and you\u2019re not competing with your fellow applicants to get your application across the finish line first.\nWhat happens after the deadline?\nOnce you\u2019ve finished and submitted your UCAS application, your details will be sent to all of the universities that you\u2019ve selected. We won\u2019t know who else you\u2019ve applied to when we receive your application (UCAS don\u2019t tell us this).\nWe receive applications electronically, and each university then considers your application according to their own admissions policy. This sounds complicated but it isn\u2019t really; basically we\u2019re reading your application, seeing if you fit our entry criteria and making you an offer based on this entry criteria. At Wrexham Glynd\u0175r University our standard entry requirements are 112 UCAS Tariff points from A Level or equivalent, so if you\u2019re currently doing A Levels it\u2019s likely any offer we make will ask you to achieve 112 tariff points from these A Levels.\nOffers will be made through your UCAS Track, and UCAS will tell you when a University has made a decision on your application so that you\u2019ll know to check your Track. How long this will take will depend on several factors, but universities are encouraged by UCAS to make all of their decisions by 31 March 2017. The actual deadline for us is 5 May though, so don\u2019t worry if you haven\u2019t heard back from all of your choices by the beginning of April.\nOnce you\u2019ve got all of your offers back, you\u2019ll be able to make you final choice. This is a big decision; once you choose your Firm choice (and Insurance if you go for one) you\u2019re committed to that university so make sure you\u2019ve got all the information you need before making your choice. The deadline for making your decision will depend on when you got all your decisions back, so make sure you check your UCAS Track to know when you have to decide by, otherwise UCAS will decline all of your offers by default and nobody wants that.\nSo, it\u2019s January 16 and you\u2019ve decided you\u2019re going to go for it after all. Excellent. What\u2019s next?\nAs we said at the start of this piece, the key thing to remember is that January 15 is the date at which a university CAN close a course for new applications. This doesn\u2019t mean that they WILL close the course you want. We always close our BSc Occupational Therapy course after the January deadline for example, but it\u2019s likely that we\u2019ll still be able to accept your application on a variety of our other programmes after this date. Last year, courses remained open in Computing, Engineering, Health, Business and several other subject areas. There is likely still going to be plenty of options out there for you, especially if you\u2019re willing to be a bit flexible with your choice of university and course.\nFirst thing to do is find out if the university that you\u2019re interested in still has spaces on your course. If they do, ask them when they believe they will close the course you want. Do this for every university you\u2019re hoping to apply to, and then apply by the earliest deadline you\u2019ve been given. You may just be told that the course will close \u2018as soon as it\u2019s full\u2019. If you find this is the case, just aim to get the application finished and submitted as soon as possible. If you find a university has closed the course you wanted before you manage to submit, maybe consider an alternative course or deferring your study for a year until 2018.\nWith you application submitted, its back to us to do all the work again. Head back up to the previous section to see what happens next!\n*January 15 is not the deadline for ALL university courses. Many Art & Design courses have a March 24 2017 deadline, and Medicine and Dentistry will likely all have an October 15 deadline so will already have shut for new applications. The course search on UCAS.com should let you know the deadline for each course your thinking of applying to, so check this out before submitting your application.\nAndy graduated with a Masters degree in politics and international relations before going on to teach in further education for several years. He joined the admissions team at Wrexham Glynd\u0175r University in 2008 and is currently the Admissions and Enquiry manager.\nTo get in touch with Andy or the admissions team please email enquiries@glyndwr.ac.uk",

        "title": "Top home trends for 2018: smart homes",
        "raw_content": "Top home trends for 2018: smart homes\nOne of the top home trends of 2018 is something that seems familiar to most of us by now: smart home devices. In the last few years, there\u2019s been an explosion of \u201csmart\u201d technology that promises to automate and simplify our lives by connecting appliances and functions to the internet. These upgrades allow homeowners to control their lights, thermostat, locks, sprinkler system and much more from anywhere via an app or web interface. More recently, tools like Amazon\u2019s Alexa, Google Home and Apple\u2019s Siri provide a centralized hub to connect many smart home devices and control them using voice commands.\nWhile installing one or two smart home devices isn\u2019t too complicated, making several of them all work in concert can be more challenging \u2013 but it is possible. If you\u2019re looking to make your home a lot smarter this year, here\u2019s how to get started:\nTo make multiple smart home devices as intuitive as possible, you will need a system that can connect to them and provide a single access point. Otherwise, every device you buy might require its own app or interface, which is hardly convenient at scale. However, the system you choose will also determine which smart devices you can control with it, to a degree. With so many different smart home products made by different companies that use various modes of communication (whether it\u2019s Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or something else), aspiring smart home-owners can be quickly overwhelmed.\nThat\u2019s why some tech experts recommend starting with a voice control system like those offered by Amazon, Google or Apple. Each of these connect easily to products and services many of us are familiar with already, as well as a wide range of smart home devices that you might buy in the future. Writing in a guide for The New York Times, Brian Chen listed some of the biggest advantages and drawbacks of each:\nAmazon\u2019s Alexa, the voice assistant installed with its Echo and Dot speakers, might be the best pick for people who want to get set up quickly. Alexa supports the broadest range of devices and commands, although it sometimes has trouble understanding what you say.\nThe Google Assistant, installed on Google Home products and Android phones, is among the most adaptable when it comes to voice commands, but it may not support as many devices or services as Alexa.\nApple\u2019s Siri is probably the most familiar for those who already use other Apple products like the iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. While Siri works near flawlessly with Apple products, according to Chen, it doesn\u2019t support many other smart devices from different manufacturers.\nPick your devices\nOnce you have something to connect them all, you can start to collect any smart home devices you want and that are compatible with each other. Install smart lights that can be controlled with voice commands to quickly turn them on, dim them and even change color. A smart thermostat is another popular smart home device because it can be controlled remotely or programmed with sophisticated rules, like saving energy while you\u2019re away from home but automatically recognizing when you return.\nAs you learn more about the possibilities of smart home tech, you can get creative with how you integrate them into your daily routine. Keep experimenting and tinkering to find the devices and setup that work best within your lifestyle.\nPrevious Tips for planning a major renovation project\nNext What to look for during an open house",

I work for a small Spartanburg company that deals with a good bit of large manufacturing companies in the state. The amount of taxes that have been placed on our company as well as many others in this state is absurd.\nIf something is not done to reduce these payments, everything South Carolina has done to build business will be destroyed. I thought South Carolina was a pro-business state that was capable of putting people to work and getting them off unemployment, but the role the S.C. Legislature has taken makes me think otherwise.\nIf we don\u2019t take time to look at some alternative ways for paying back the federal government we will see more wage cuts, hiring freezes, layoffs and relocations of businesses, which will increase the unemployment claims even further.\nI am a 32-year-old single mother of two children, and I worry about the effect this increase will have on my company, not to mention the effect it will have on the state of South Carolina.\nWe must stop or delay this tax increase. There has to be a better solution as to how we can pay off this debt.\nMargie Reid\nIn reference to the high school track meet held at Spartanburg High School on March 19, the Herald-Journal\u2019s coverage of the activities, including Spartanburg track coach Glover Smiley being honored at the event, was first-class as usual.\nHowever, I believe the Herald-Journal could have gone further and interviewed and written more about a couple of the great former student-athletes who were invited guests. The event, known as the Viking Relays, is being renamed in honor of Coach Smiley, and many great former athletes were in attendance.\nThese graduates reflect some of the longtime athletic and educational values that have existed at Spartanburg High School. They represent proud accomplishments that are associated with some of the graduates of our school. I feel it was newsworthy and should have been reported in more depth. While I think the Herald-Journal\u2019s sports reporting in general is good, why not note these graduates\u2019 achievements?\nCongratulations to Coach Smiley and his staff for their many accomplishments.\nDewey Tullis",

        "raw_content": "Australian Gourmet Traveller classic dish recipe for insalata Caprese.\nOne of the greatest joys of summer would have to be the bounteous swag of tomatoes ripe for the picking. The painterly appeal of these plump beauties is backed up with an earthy juiciness so gorgeous that very little is required in the way of adornment. Simple, in this case, is most definitely best.\nAnd if anyone knows how to do simplicity, it's the Italians. Take, for example, the classic insalata Caprese. Literally translated, its name means \"salad in the style of Capri\", and although it's unknown whether the salad actually originated on the island, it's said to have become popular after being served there to King Farouk in the 1950s. Legend has it that the Egyptian king requested something light to eat upon his return from the beach, and it was the insalata Caprese that was served - albeit as a warm sandwich. Today the Caprese is most often served as an antipasto, rather than as a contorno, or side dish.\nThe list of ingredients in the Caprese salad in its purest form is elegantly scant, the method equally so. Tomatoes, mozzarella, basil (and, in some older recipes, oregano), olive oil, salt, pepper. Slice, arrange, drizzle, season, serve. Note the inclusion of the word \"purest\" here. To qualify as a true insalata Caprese, this is the limit of the ingredients. While some recipes exhort you to use olives, or roast capsicum, or you may be tempted to add a little vinegar to the dressing, these additions take the salad out of the realm of the classic. Possibly delicious, yes. But classic? Definitely not.\nWhen a dish is as simple as this one, it's more important than ever to use the absolute best of ingredients. Perfectly ripe tomatoes are non-negotiable. The days of floury, anemic, juice-free tomatoes that seemed to be the only option unless you grew your own have thankfully passed. Growers, producers and retailers have wised up and we're seeing all manner of varieties - from lumpy bumpy heirlooms to the small-scaled Mexican midgets and tiny Toms (which pack a flavour punch that belies their petite proportions), and a plethora of size, shape and colour in between. Use whatever takes your fancy, but bring them to room temperature for optimum flavour.\nBuffalo mozzarella is traditional for a Caprese, as opposed to the cow's milk fior di latte. Many delicatessens import Italian buffalo mozzarella, but if you're concerned about air miles, the Australian-produced Shaw River buffalo mozzarella gives the Italian versions a run for their money. Again, bring the mozzarella to room temperature before serving.\nTo complete the tri-colour: fragrant basil leaves - whole or torn, it's up to you. Beyond that, a drizzle of the finest extra-virgin olive oil you can lay your hands on, a scatter of sea salt and a grinding or three of black pepper and you have the perfect summer dish.\nFor the perfect summer dish, look no further than the four ingredients of insalata Caprese, writes Emma Knowles.\n1 kg heirloom or perfectly ripe tomatoes\n2 buffalo mozzarella (about 250gm each), thickly sliced\n\u00bd cup (loosely packed) basil, coarsely torn\nFor drizzling: extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling\nTo serve: crusty bread (optional)\nArrange tomato and mozzarella on a serving platter, scatter over basil, drizzle with olive oil, season to taste, and serve with crusty bread if desired.\nStyling: Vanessa Austin and Alice Storey",

        "raw_content": "More and more showers are made \u201cbarrier-free\u201d not only in hospitals, nursing homes and retirement residences but also in private homes, where steps are increasingly being eliminated and obstacles avoided. Floor-level showers that are easy to access are becoming the norm in many places and offer greater user comfort.\nEnjoyment without Complications\nThe same applies to the shower taps. The simple and intuitive operation of a shower is usually taken for granted when planning a bathroom. Consequently the special needs of different user groups are often not considered adequately. For elderly people, in particular, it is important that they do not need to learn the operation of their shower in a lengthy process but that it becomes second nature to them.\nIn this context, important protective precautions need to be taken into account, e.g. regarding non-slippery surfaces and the correct handling of taps and showers. Health hazards resulting from scalding as well as unintentional misoperations must be avoided to the extent possible. A sudden change in the water temperature is always unpleasant and can startle the user, no matter whether it is caused by misoperation or by a pressure change in the water supply. Especially elderly people, who usually need more time to react, may get a shock and lose their balance \u2013 which is a major health hazard. Smaller children who are unfamiliar with the water control and very sensitive to extreme temperatures need to be protected just as well.\nThis means that the needs and requirements of people from different generations who live together in the same home must be reconciled to ensure safety and comfort for all. GROHE has given much thought to these issues and incorporated its findings into the design of its products in order to ensure maximum pleasure for everybody in the long term. In keeping with \u201cUniversal Design\u201d or \u201cTransgenerational Design\u201d standards, the shower thermostats, for instance, have been equipped with easily readable scales for temperature and water volume to ensure that poor vision, for instance, does not become a handicap.\nAllowing people to age in place while benefiting from the latest technology that meets their needs and demands at any given time is one of the main objectives of our product development process. This ageing-in-place calls for the operation of a device to follow a \u201cnatural logic\u201d, e.g. with regard to the direction in which a control is turned. This has been examined in comprehensive tests and put into practice in our products.\nChoose a GROHE Thermostatic Mixer for a safe Shower\nThermostat fittings from GROHE are especially recommended when it comes to ensuring protection against scalding, as they offset potential pressure fluctuations in the water supply automatically and in fractions of a second.\nThe GROHE TurboStat\u00ae technology ensures that the perceived water temperature remains constant at all times. If the cold water supply is interrupted, our thermostats immediately stop the water flow. This largely protects users against injuries from hot water flowing from the overhead, hand or side showers.\nThe GROHE CoolTouch\u00ae technology is a special benefit of our products. To protect users against scalding, GROHE CoolTouch\u00ae shields the outer surfaces of taps, exposed pipes and hand showers from the hot water channels inside.\nWant to know more about our Thermostats?\nHead & Side Showers",

Anxiety has been traditionally studied by asking people to describe their emotions, or by deducing their emotions from their observable behavior. Such methods are, however, ethically doubtful in case of organization studies. Organization scholars do not have a moral right to ask people about their emotions. Further, there is no guarantee that people who were asked describe their emotions correctly. Even more uncertain is the idea of deducing emotions from behavior observed. There are at least two methods permitting to avoid these problems: Eliciting narratives, which permits to study a rhetoric of emotions, and analyzing descriptions of emotion in the literature (including fiction). It is this latter approach that has been used in this paper.",

        "raw_content": "Russia Covering Up Assad's Poison Gas Use in Syria, Chemical Warfare Experts Claim\nRebel groups have used chemical weapons in the past, but Moscow's claim that they possess sarin is highly unlikely, says Dr. Dany Shoham.\nSyrians bury the bodies of victims of a a suspected toxic gas attack in Khan Sheikhun, a rebel-held town in Idlib province, April 5, 2017.FADI AL-HALABI/AFP\nSyria chemical attack: This is what happens when you're exposed to a deadly nerve agent\nSyria chemical attack approved by highest levels of Assad regime, Israel believes\nRussia: Lethal attack result of Syrian regime strike on rebel chemical arms depot\nAn Israeli expert on chemical weapons believes that forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad used sarin gas in an attack on Idlib province on Tuesday . Dr. Dany Shoham, an expert on biological and chemical weapons, is also skeptical of the Russian claim that the regime struck a weapons depot which the rebels had been using to store poison gas.\nShoham, a researcher at Bar-Ilan University's Center for Strategic Studies, says there is a high probability that the agent that caused dozens of deaths in the town of Khan Sheikhoun was sarin nerve gas, though he concedes that it cannot be identified from photographs alone. Only chemical analysis can categorically identify the chemical, he says, but \u201cthe pictures are highly reminiscent of the event in 2013, when Assad\u2019s army definitely used sarin and about 1,400 people, including children, died because of it. The pictures are really similar.\u201d\nThe World Health Organization said on Wednesday that the victims appeared to show symptoms consistent with reaction to a nerve agent. \"Some cases appear to show additional signs consistent with exposure to organophosphorus chemicals, a category of chemicals that includes nerve agents,\" the WHO said in a statement, putting the death toll at at least 70.\nRegarding Russian claims that chemicals were been released when an airstrike hit a weapons warehouses belonging to the anti-regime rebels, Shoham says it highly unlikely that the rebels were in possession of nerve gas.\nA man breathes through an oxygen mask as another one receives treatments, after what rescue workers described as a suspected gas attack in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in rebel-held Idlib, Syria April 4 AMMAR ABDULLAH/REUTERS\nShoham says that while the rebels have also used chemical weapons in the past \u2013 mainly chlorine, but also mustard gas \u2013 and may have those agents, in principle the likelihood that they have nerve gas is very low.\n\u201cThroughout, the Russians have been backing the Syrians, covering up and masking the many events in which chemical weapons have been used by the Syrians,\" says Shoham. \u201cSo, in this case too, clearly that is what they\u2019re trying to do. They denied use by Assad\u2019s army in the past so the chance is small that this time the Russian claim is true.\u201d\nAnswering arguments that an explosion resulting from a strike would have neutralized the sarin, Saham points out that indeed it could, but not all the gas \u2013 some would have \u201cescaped\u201d and retained efficacy. \u201cIn that scenario, some sarin would escape to the environment I would not cling to that argument because in any case, some sarin would be released, and would be effective,\u201d he says.\nDr. Emily Landau, head of the Arms Control and Regional Security Program and the Institute for National Security Studies, said Wednesday that \u201cin Syria there is always use being made of different types of chemical weapons, but those that are not defined as such under the convention. There was use of chlorine, which generally doesn\u2019t kill, and now there was a step up with the use of sarin.\u201d\nLandau added that the use of chemical weapons sows fear and terror among the people, and can help the Syrian regime convey a message to them to evacuate the area. \u201cThere\u2019s no one to stop this. We see the Russian response, even though all the assessments speak of Assad, and we see regimes that have no problem agreeing to something and then doing whatever they want.\"\nAccording to Israeli security officials, reports that Assad was responsible for the chemical attack are highly probable. Sources in Israel said that the assault was approved by the highest levels of the Syrian regime, but stopped short of saying whether Assad\u2019s patrons, Russia and Iran, were involved.\nWhile the Syrian army has published a statement denying any use of chemical weapons, Israel has discounted the regime\u2019s denial.",

        "title": "Melania Trump White House Changes - Changes When Melania Trump Moves to White House",
        "raw_content": "5 Changes You Can Expect When Melania Trump Moves Into the White House\nThe East Wing is about to get more crowded.\nMelania Trump has not been a traditional first lady, which is fitting, since nothing about the Trump presidency can be described as traditional. One of her most unconventional moves thus far has been delaying her move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in favor of staying in New York City while her 11-year-old son, Barron, finished the school year. But now, summer is upon us and the school year is ending, so Melania and Barron Trump are preparing to move to the White House. Here are some of the changes we can expect when the first lady joins her husband in Washington.\n1. She will likely pick an issue to focus on.\nTraditionally, first ladies pick a cause to champion during their time in the White House and Melania Trump will likely do the same. When Michelle Obama was first lady, for example, she took on childhood obesity and gender equality in education through her Let's Move! and Let Girls Learn initiatives, respectively.\nWhile Melania spoke out on the campaign trail about plans to take on cyberbullying as her cause, she's been silent on the issue since her husband took office. As Vanity Fair points out, however, Melania may be letting actions speak louder than words when it comes to the issues that will take the forefront for her.\nSince becoming the FLOTUS, Melania has made several appearances at children's hospitals, including D.C.'s Children's National hospital.\nWonderful opening ceremony today for the new Healing Garden @childrenshealth. It will play vital role in recovery of extraordinary patients. pic.twitter.com/xybzYPkJYq\nOn her recent overseas trip with Donald Trump, she spent time at the Bambino Ges\u00f9 pediatric hospital in Rome, visiting with patients.\nWhile we'll have to wait and see what cause Melania officially dedicates herself to as first lady, children's health seems to be a top priority for her.\n2. The East Wing will probably staff up.\nThe Office of the First Lady, headquartered in the East Wing of the White House, has been staffing up slowly since Trump took office. When Melania officially relocates to Washington, we might see that staff grow.\nRight now, Melania's staff includes chief of staff Lindsay Reynolds, social secretary Anna Cristina \"Rickie\" Niceta Lloyd, senior adviser and chief strategist Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, and communications director Stephanie Grisham.\nIn contrast, Michelle Obama famously had a staff of 24 and other recent ladies, like Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush, had staffs ranging in size from 13 to 22, depending on the year. Even though there is precedent for the Office of the First Lady employing a significant staff, there are no hard and fast rules about how many people should work with the FLOTUS.\nMelania can hire as many or as few people as she wants, and some reports have even indicated that Donald Trump sees the Office of the First Lady as a place to cut costs, suggesting her staff won't be as large as those of first ladies past. Still, it would be surprising if Melania didn't fill a few more positions once she settles down in D.C.\n3. She may work closely with Ivanka.\nAlthough Melania hasn't staffed up the East Wing, another member of the Trump family has been taking on staff. While the first lady has been in New York with Barron, Trump's daughter, Ivanka, has stepped up and taken on responsibilities typically handled by the FLOTUS. While Ivanka's official position in the White House is unpaid, she has taken on some staff, which is unusual for a first daughter.\nIn the early months of her father's administration, Ivanka accompanied the president on official trips and hosted D.C. dinner parties to promote her cause of choice, equality for women in the workplace.\nIn February, there were also reports that Ivanka had moved into the East Wing office usually reserved for the first lady and redecorated the space, which the Trumps were reportedly referring to it as the \"First Family Office.\"\nGiven the active role Ivanka has taken in the administration, it stands to reason that she and her stepmother, Melania, may end up working together. They could work on shared projects and in a shared space once the first lady settles into the White House.\n4. She may have an impact on Donald Trump's staff.\nMelania may have been out of sight for the last few months, but that doesn't mean she hasn't been an active member of Team Trump. According to a recent Politico report, Melania is something of a media watchdog for Trump, keeping tabs on unflattering reports about the president and sharing them with him.\nThe Politico report also suggests that Melania hasn't been 100 percent happy with what she's seen about the POTUS in the media lately, and that she even went so far as to suggest shakeups to his communications team, specifically when it comes to White House press secretary Sean Spicer.\n\"She was really concerned that Spicer was not doing a good job, that they were not proactive in defending the president,\" an outside adviser to the president said, according to Politico. \"The leaks bother her. She believes a lot of people are more interested in serving themselves than him.\"\nIt's worth noting that a senior White House official has reportedly denied the story. The first lady is always in a unique position to counsel the president, however, and if Melania does have concerns about members of the president's staff or how he is being portrayed in the media, she'll have every opportunity to discuss those issues with him once she moves to Washington.\n5. Her look is reportedly changing.\nIn March, reports surfaced that Melania was already prepping for one aspect of her move to the White House: her Washington style. The New York Daily News reported that Melania was teaming up with her inauguration gown designer, Herve Pierre, to work on dresses that were \"modern, sleek, and form fitting.\"\nIn addition to her wardrobe choices, Melania also reportedly planned some beauty-related changes as well. Specifically, balayage highlights to lighten her hair.\nYou can even see some evidence of the highlights in recent pictures of Melania from her trip to Rome. And though hair and outfits certainly shouldn't be the focus around the FLOTUS, it's clear the former model knows the power of a photo op.\nKayleigh Roberts Kayleigh Roberts is a regular contributor to ELLE, Harper's Bazaar, and Marie Claire.\nMelania Trump's Official Potrait as First Lady\nWhat Barron Trump Can Expect in the White House\nMelania and Barron Have Moved into the White House\nHow Much the Trumps Can Change the White House\nBrigitte Macron: Melania Trump \u2018Can\u2019t Go Outside'",

The report says that 2016 had the lowest number of fatalities since 1990 and the 2017 figure was in line with the five-year average.\nAlthough child and pedestrian casualties increased, there was a reduction in the number of cyclist and motorcyclist casualties in 2017.\nThere has been a downward trend in road casualties since 2011 and 2016 was a year that had the lowest number of fatalities since 1990. I am very disappointed that the number of persons killed on North Yorkshire\u2019s roads has risen in 2017 and did not remain at the lower level of 2016\nThe 2017 figures are broadly in line with the five-year average, but we had some notable successes last year, particularly the reduction in casualties through our continued engagement with the motorcycle and cycling communities.\nThe county council works in primary and secondary schools promoting road safety for every key stage and delivers the Drive Alive and Learn and Live programme to high schools and colleges plus the Enhance Pass Plus scheme for new and young drivers.\nIt delivers the national Junior Road Safety Officer programme to primary schools and a high school programme promoting safer journeys at a time when children are given more independence.\nThere are intensive engagement programmes with cyclists and motorcyclists and road safety initiatives include an assessment scheme for older drivers and promoting messages on a range of issues such as tyre safety, fatigue, country roads, eyesight, distractions, pedestrian safety, winter driving and highway and driving law.\nIn addition, 30 local safety schemes have been implemented at personal injury collision sites. The council\u2019s fatal collision procedure makes sure that every crash location is visited and a report completed by the traffic engineers, working closely with North Yorkshire Police, which considers what could be introduced to prevent future incidents.\nThe council monitors personal injury collision locations to identify cluster sites and analyses collision data on routes to identify spots for further investigation and potential improvement schemes.\nTags: Don MackenzieHighways\nPublic to have their say on options around the Harrogate congestion problem\nNorth Yorkshire County Council have taken a decision to move forward with a public consultation on\nPrevious Story Previous post: Independence Day is graduation day for Ashville\u2019s American students\nNext Story Next post: Farewell to Yorkshire Air Ambulance pilot Ian\nParents and children who arrive at school by car are",

About 850,000 people have angioplasty and stent implantation each year in the U.S. This new device works like a traditional metal stent, but is designed to dissolve within 1 to 3 years after being implanted in the artery.\nAccording to Gregg Stone, director of cardiovascular research and education at New York-Presbyterian Hospital and a leader of Abbott-sponsored studies that led to approval of the device, the stent \u201callows the artery to reacquire its normal shape. It allows the vessel to grow.\u201d Researchers are hoping that this feature proves to be a long-term advantage of using the absorbable stent.\nIn clinical trials, patients with stable or unstable angina (chest pain) treated with the absorbable stent experienced \u201cclinically comparable\u201d rates of serious cardiac events and about twice the rate of blood clots as patients treated with traditional stents. Blood clot risk is a strong concern and may be related to the size of the absorbable stent, which is larger and may be problematic when used in narrower blood vessels.\nSourced from: WSJ, FDA Approves Abbott\u2019s Absorbable Heart Stent",

        "raw_content": "US Marshal...\nPHOENIX (AP) - A deputy U.S. marshal serving a fugitive arrest warrant against a man accused of stalking a female police sergeant after she seized a handgun and ammunition from him last year has been shot and killed outside a Tucson house.\nThe suspect had recently visited Tucson Police Department, where he confronted the sergeant in person, then filed an online complaint about last year's seizure of his weapon, demanding that she and other officers be \"arrested\" and warning against the possibility of a \"shootout at the OK Corral,\" authorities said.\nChase White, 41, was shot while serving the warrant Thursday night. White died later at a hospital, the U.S. Marshals Service in Washington said Friday. He had a wife and four children.\nThe suspect, Ryan Phillip Schlesinger, was arrested after an hour-long standoff at the home.\nFriday filings in federal court show that Schlesinger was arrested on a warrant charging him with first degree murder of a federal officer.\nThe earlier warrant had accused Schlesinger of stalking Sgt. Amber Kingman, who was involved in his arrest and the seizure of his Glock handgun and specialized ammunition.\nThe complaint against Schlesinger, 26, said the Marshals Service was serving the warrant at a home on the city's north side about 5:30 p.m. Thursday when the suspect fired, striking White. Schlesinger was not wounded when agents returned fire.\nSchlesinger was taken into custody about an hour later when he emerged from the house wearing body armor and a ballistic helmet.\nThe complaint said the warrant sprang from an Aug. 18, 2017 incident in which Tucson officers, including Kingman, went to Schlesinger's house on a petition related to a section of state law dealing with a variety of health matters.\nWhen the Tucson officers reached the entryway of Schlesinger's bedroom, he threatened to kill them and reached for a Glock. Officers used a stun gun to subdue Schlesinger, then arrested him and seized the handgun, along with \"a high capacity magazine loaded with specialized ammunition designed for increased penetration.\"\nOn April 16, Schlesinger began sending threatening emails to Tucson police demanding the return of his gun and other property.\nThe complaint said Schlesinger told Tucson detectives July 3 that he was sending the emails in \"retaliation\" for the seizure of his property and had \"been planning to come to the police station on that day to arrest several officers.\" Schlesinger reportedly said that if the officers resisted arrest, \"force would be used.\" He replied \"no comment\" when asked if he had access to firearms.\n\"Schlesinger stated that he believed his actions were justified by the U.S. Constitution and that he was prepared to defend the Constitution by any means necessary,\" the complaint stated. It said that at the time there were two active injunctions against Schlesinger, barring him from harassment and from possessing firearms.\nThroughout July, August and September, the complaint said, Schlesinger repeatedly showed up at the police department to \"arrest\" Kingman, knocked on the front door of her parents' home and alleged that she and other officers had \"kidnapped, assaulted, conspired and unlawfully imprisoned him in the Crisis Response Center.\"\nWhen Schlesinger went to police headquarters Nov. 20, he saw Kingman and he addressed her by name.\nTwo days later, he filed an online complaint, saying Kingman was \"on his list\" of people to arrest and recommending the department \"arrest the criminals listed in my report so I don't have to. I don't think anybody wants this turning into shootout at the OK Corral.\"\nStuart De Haan, an attorney representing Schlesinger in a harassment case pending in Pima County Justice Court in Tucson, did not immediately respond to a telephone message Friday seeking comment.\nSchlesinger was booked into the Pima County jail in Tucson.\nRaised in central Illinois, White had been with the U.S. Marshals Service since 2015. He was on active duty in the Air Force from 2000-2007 and was currently a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reserve, serving with the 926th Wing at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada and preparing for a deployment.\nDavid J. Anderson, Acting Deputy Director of the U.S. Marshals Service, called White a \"hero\" who had been performing a dangerous job.\n\"Chase was devoted to making his community and this nation safer. His sacrifice will not be forgotten,\" Anderson said.\nFirst Assistant U.S. Attorney Elizabeth A. Strange of the Arizona District called White's death a reminder \"of the dangers our dedicated law enforcement partners willingly face daily in the line of duty.\" Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus called the killing \"a tragic night for law enforcement in Tucson and across the state of Arizona.\"\nArizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Twitter expressed condolences to the deputy marshal's family and said \"prayers go out to his family and all of Arizona law enforcement.\"\nThe Marshals Service said the deputy U.S. marshal was the first killed in the line of duty in Tucson in 66 years.\nAssociated Press writer Paul Davenport contributed from Phoenix.",

She said her friend suffered injuries to her arm, head and face.\n\"Her hand is all bandaged up. She doesn't have any power in three of her fingers at the moment,\" she said.\n\"She's also very badly injured on her head and her face. I couldn't imagine that brutal an attack, I'm just shocked.\n\"She is just heartbrok- en - you can't describe it. But at least all of us can be here and support her as much as we can.\"\nMs Deryng said the family had been in Ireland for around 12 years and the two children were four and five-years-old.\n\"They are a wonderful family. Mikolaj was a generous, great, great helpful man with a very warm heart,\" she added.\nA GoFundMe page set up by Ms Deryng for the family has so far raised more than \u20ac6,000.\nPolish chaplain for Cork, Fr Piotr Galus, who has lived in the city for 12 years, described his shock at the horrific attack.\n\"Twelve years ago, four men died in a car crash, but something like this we've never experienced in Cork,\" he said.\n\"Everybody is asking, are we safe? We've heard of gangs attacking other gangs, but never somebody coming to a house and attacking a family.\"\nHe added that there is concern in Poland for family members who live in Ireland.",

        "raw_content": "We've done it: Balls Wood is secure\nThe HMWT duck race team\nWith the exciting news that the future of Balls Wood has been secured, Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust says thanks for your help\nWE are delighted to report that Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust has been successful in its campaign to secure Balls Wood Nature Reserve for future generations. And it's very much thanks to the help given to us by the community.\nAs regular readers of this magazine will know, there was a real concern for the future of this beautiful 145-acre woodland near Hertford Heath. The site is particularly noted for its butterfly populations, and supports wildlife as diverse as woodpeckers, badgers, tawny owls, frogs, newts and many insects and plants. All this was at risk when its previous owners, the Forestry Commission, decided to sell the land. As we have managed parts of Balls Wood on behalf of The Forestry Commission for more than 30 years, they gave us the first option to buy it with the adjacent Hobbyhorse Wood. This was a great opportunity to save the wood for wildlife and people but the challenge for the last ten months has been to raise the money to buy the wood.\nOur task was to raise 150,000 from local community groups and public donations in order to unlock grants for the additional money needed to buy the wood. We have now succeeded in our campaign and the purchase has been funded by Natural England through Defra's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, Groundwork Hertfordshire through Lafarge Aggregates Limited, Hertfordshire County Council and various Charitable Trusts.\nPeople got involved in a huge range of ways - from bird watching challenges, cake sales, sponsored stair climbs, runs and walks, railway station collections, and pub quizzes to guided walks, talks, garage sales and a big duck race. The tremendous support came from conservation groups, schools and the local community as well as people who no longer live in the county but wanted to help protect an important Hertfordshire wildlife haven.\nA staggering repsonse\nJudy Adams, Chief Executive of HMWT, says, 'This is a fantastic result for us and for the people of Hertfordshire. We are staggered by the response from everyone. The fundraising activities were particularly significant because they helped us achieve the support of major grants and I would like to thank everyone for helping us safeguard this wonderful woodland. This is an excellent example of how individuals can really make a difference to the local environment and help inspire the generous support of our grant funders. Together we have secured Balls Wood for generations of wildlife to thrive in and for people to enjoy for many years to come.'\nNow that we have the opportunity to manage the whole site, including Hobbyhorse Wood, we'll be working to restore and create new habitat to encourage wildlife to move between it and neighbouring Hertford Heath Nature Reserve and nearby Broxbourne Woods. Balls Wood has the real potential to become a 'wildlife corridor', providing a wider area for species to inhabit and offering them better chances of survival. So if you made a contribution to this huge fundraising effort, pat yourself on the back - it's all been worthwhile. Thank you so much - we can all rest safe in the knowledge that Balls Wood and its wildlife is secure for generations to come.\nGobions Wood becomes Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve\nOn March 20, Gobions Woodland Trustees signed over the ownership of Gobions Wood to the care of Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust. Although we have been working with the Gobions Woodland Trust for a number of years, Gobions Woodland Trustees were anxious to secure the reserve's long term future and welcomed the opportunity to have this 45-hectare site formally and fully included in our register of nature reserves.\nGobions Wood has long held an important place in the hearts of the people of Brookmans Park, Potters Bar and surrounding areas. In 1986 the Gobions Woodland Trust, supported by local people, saved the woodland and adjoining pasture from the imminent danger of development.\nThe nature reserve is a beautiful place, consisting mostly of ancient woodland. It includes the remains of the 18th century Pleasure Gardens of Gubbins House, designed by Charles Bridgeman, Royal Gardner to George II and is part of the English Heritage registered garden on account of its trees, fungi and other species. The reserve contains ash and field maple and oak woodland but the range of other tree species found there is surprising. The woodland is renowned locally for its display of bluebells and wood anemones in April. Other woodland flowers include wood sorrel, pignut and moschatel.\nWe are thrilled to be taking on the responsibility for this special place and are grateful for the commitment, inspiration and good work undertaken by the Gobions Woodland Trust over the years. We are proud to have this opportunity to take up the baton of their efforts and look forward to working with them and local people to manage this lovely nature reserve into the future.\nBernard Spatz, Trustee of Gobions Woodland Trust said, 'We're delighted to have secured the future of Gobions Wood as a nature reserve and public resource. Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust's proven commitment to managing land for people and wildlife means we are confident the wood is in safe hands.'",

        "raw_content": "Imagine the past twelve months in the life of Ryan Carter.\nRyan signed a contract with the Anaheim Ducks on July 12, 2006. After a productive season with the Portland Pirates in his first year of pro, he got the call he'd been waiting for since he was firing balls around on the streets of White Bear Lake, Minnesota. On May 17, in a Conference Final contest against the Red Wings, Ryan Carter made his NHL debut. He played three games in that series, and then got to play in the Stanley Cup Final when Anaheim coach Randy Carlyle include his name on the gamesheet on June 4.\nOn Friday, June 29, Ryan Carter took the Stanley Cup home to White Bear Lake as part of the Anaheim Ducks' summer of celebration.\nTo begin, he took the Cup to his parents' home where a professional photographer snapped portrait shots with the Stanley Cup. Then, Ryan, his Dad and a friend drove to a small area airport where two small planes had been gassed up and were ready to make a special sidetrip.\nDucks' centreman Ryan Carter and his father prepare to depart for Minnesota State University Mankato. (Bill Wellman/HHOF)\nRyan had starred with the Mavericks for two seasons (2004-05 and 2005-06) and wanted to return to his alma mater. As the crow flies, it is 100 miles from White Bear Lake to Minnesota State University Mankato. Candidly, the planes were small and not much larger than that darned crow, but three people climbed into each of the two planes for the trip.\nThe planes landed and several of Carter's coaches and teammates were there to greet the returning hero. A limo bus took them first to a restaurant where Carter had worked while in college. Then, they proceeded to the Civic Center, where June 29th had been declared 'Ryan Carter Day' in Mankato. It was a warm and wonderful civic reception, including speeches from many who knew the young forward.\nHundreds of fans packed the Civic Centre to recognize the achievement of the Anaheim Ducks' centreman Ryan Carter.\nRyan walked through the campus, fondly recalling stories and friends. They stopped in a couple of the campus pubs and pictures were taken with the Cup. One final stop was made at a restaurant owned by one of Ryan's friends, then it was back on the bus and off to the airport for the return trip to White Bear Lake.\nBack home, a limousine arrived and took Ryan and his Dad, as well as his Mom, sister and girlfriend, to the Best Western Hotel where a party was beginning to take shape. Seventy-five friends and family members enjoyed a meal with Ryan and the Stanley Cup.\nThe next stop was the local rink in White Bear Lake. A huge reception was about to unfold. Although a number of fine hockey players have been produced in White Bear Lake, including Hall of Famer 'Moose' Goheen (born in 1894) and NHL star Doc Romnes (born in 1907), never before had a player from White Bear Lake brought the Stanley Cup to town.\nAt a local rink in White Bear Lake young hockey players were thrilled to meet Ryan Carter who graciously signed autographs for those that adored him. (Bill Wellman/HHOF)\nAll of a sudden, the lights were turned off. A fog machine added an interesting veil to the festivity. Then, with 'Jump' by Van Halen wailing prominently, out from behind the Zamboni gates marched a colour guard of young hockey players, followed triumphantly by Ryan Carter, holding the Stanley Cup over his head as the spotlights focused on the local boy made good. As Carter paraded the Cup around the ice surface, youngsters clamoured all over him, reaching to touch the hallowed trophy they, too, dream about.\nSpeeches ensued, and after former coaches appropriately recognized and honoured their prodigy, White Bear Lake proclaimed June 29, 2007 'Ryan Carter Day.' Fans had photos taken with the Stanley Cup as the young Duck signed autographs steadily from 4:00 until 6:00 PM.\nAbout 12 miles south-west of White Bear Lake sits St. Paul, and Ryan took the Stanley Cup there next. At the Taste of Minnesota, he was introduced on the stage to a thunderous ovation, just before George Thorogood rocked the Twin City.\nRyan Carter hoists the Stanley Cup on stage at the Taste of Minnesota. (Bill Wellman/HHOF)\nFrom 7:00 for about three hours, the Carter family plus friends enjoyed a terrific celebration dinner in St. Paul. Then, Ryan climbed aboard a party bus to do a little bar-hopping. Ryan stopped first with the Stanley Cup at one St. Paul bar, then made the short trip west to Minneapolis, the other Twin City, to visit two other clubs. It was a productive yet exhausting day for Ryan Carter, who packed in the night (and the Stanley Cup) at 2:30 early that morning.\nTuesday will arrive before we know it and when it does, come visit Quebec with us as the Stanley Cup Journal spends time first with goaltender Sebastien Caron and then with the Ducks' Director of Amateur Scouting, Alain Chainey.",

        "raw_content": "Let\u2019s Celebrate the Kebab!\nThe easiest (and tastiest!) way to celebrate the kebab on Kebab Day is to go out and sample the delicious flavours that can only be found in the best of kebabs.\nYou can also organise a barbecue at your home and have your friends bring all their favorite kind of kebabs and serve them up fresh! Anything you can imagine can be put on a kebab and prepared with rich flavorful seasonings over smoky coals. Kebab Day encourages you to be creative and bring out the best in your kebabs, and let your skewers become vehicles for culinary deliciousness.\nHistory of the Kebab\nKebab is a broad term covering a wide variety of grilled meat dishes. The word kebab means \u2018to roast\u2019. The term can also be referred to as a meat patty mixed with spices. Kebabs have a long history dating back over thousands of years originating in the medieval kitchens of Persia and Turkey. There are two particular varieties which those of us in the West are particularly familiar with, shish kebab and doner kebab, most commonly made of lamb, beef or chicken.\nThe word kebab came to English in the late 17th century, from the Arabic, (kab\u0101b), partly through Urdu, Persian and Turkish. In Persian, the word is borrowed from Arabic. In Arabia, shish kebab or lahm mishwy (grilled meat) is essentially a part of traditional food. True shish kebabs are made with pieces of marinated lamb that is attached to a bladed metal skewer that is four sided and flat to grill.\nShish Kebab is most commonly referred to as \u2018doner kebab\u2019 in the UK. The word doner kebab means \u2018rotating kebab\u2019. It is roasted or grilled on a vertical rotating spit.\nThe famous doner is considered to have been invented 40 years back by Mr Aygun. It is a traditional sliced meat that is skewered. Lamb meat is the true form of doner but the type of meat of doner differs from region to region depending on tastes.\nhttps://www.hiltonsmythe.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Kebab-597.mp4\nInterested in buying a kebab shop?\nThen why not take a look at our managers specials, 5 of our top kebab and takeaways for sale.\nFor sale: Chillianos, Bradford, West Yorkshire. \u00a326,950 +SAV\nFor sale: Hot Shots, Dundee, Angus. \u00a336,995 +SAV\nFor sale: Kohinoor, Sheffield, South Yorkshire. \u00a340,000 +SAV\nFor sale: Takeaway, Yorkshire and the Humber. \u00a369,995 +SAV\nFor sale: Marina, Croydon. \u00a3110,000 +SAV",

        "raw_content": "An Assessment of the Intestinal Lumen as a Site for Intervention in Reducing Body Burdens of Organochlorine Compounds\nRonald J. Jandacek1 and Stephen J. Genuis2\n1Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Cincinnati, 2120 East Galbraith Road, Cincinnati, OH 45237, USA\n2Faculty of Medicine, University of Alberta, 2935-66 Street, Edmonton, AB, Canada T6K 4C1\nAcademic Editors: R. Pohjanvirta and J. Pungercar\nCopyright \u00a9 2013 Ronald J. Jandacek and Stephen J. Genuis. 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.\nMany individuals maintain a persistent body burden of organochlorine compounds (OCs) as well as other lipophilic compounds, largely as a result of airborne and dietary exposures. Ingested OCs are typically absorbed from the small intestine along with dietary lipids. Once in the body, stored OCs can mobilize from adipose tissue storage sites and, along with circulating OCs, are delivered into the small intestine via hepatic processing and biliary transport. Retained OCs are also transported into both the large and small intestinal lumen via non-biliary mechanisms involving both secretion and desquamation from enterocytes. OCs and some other toxicants can be reabsorbed from the intestine, however, they take part in enterohepatic circulation(EHC). While dietary fat facilitates the absorption of OCs from the small intestine, it has little effect on OCs within the large intestine. Non-absorbable dietary fats and fat absorption inhibitors, however, can reduce the re-absorption of OCs and other lipophiles involved in EHC and may enhance the secretion of these compounds into the large intestine\u2014thereby hastening their elimination. Clinical studies are currently underway to determine the efficacy of using non-absorbable fats and inhibitors of fat absorption in facilitating the elimination of persistent body burdens of OCs and other lipophilic human contaminants.\nThe presence of organochlorine (OC) compounds in the environment and biosphere is a recent development in evolutionary terms. The intentional and inadvertent synthesis and widespread dispersion of OCs began in the twentieth century. Compounds including hexachlorobenzene, DDT, and PCBs were produced to meet industrial needs. Other OCs, including dioxins, have been produced as industrial byproducts. In addition to OCs, other lipophilic compounds including brominated hydrocarbons (to be used principally as flame retardants) have also been produced.\nThe magnitude of the industrial output and the chemical stability of OC compounds have resulted in their persistence in the environment. Even with planned reductions in the production and use of these compounds, they will remain in the environment for many decades.\nThe ubiquitous presence of OCs has resulted in their entry into the food chain, with accumulation in higher organisms. Their lipophilicity directs them to be stored in adipose depots of animals, including humans. Many OCs and their metabolites exit the body very slowly, resulting in long-storage half-lives.\nThere is a large body of evidence linking elevated levels of OCs to the risk of disease such as diabetes and hypertension [1, 2]. Some OCs are considered to be carcinogens in animals and humans. Although effort is underway to reduce the exposure of people to OCs, this work toward decreasing environmental levels will presumably not produce a significant reduction in the levels in the biosphere in the immediate future and does not address the bioaccumulated burden already present in many individuals.\nGiven the persistent and ubiquitous nature of OCs, and given the potential link to the risk of disease, it is desirable to consider strategies to reduce their level in the body. This paper considers the intestinal lumen as a site for intervention to reduce human exposure and the resulting detrimental effects on health.\nIt is generally thought that most of human exposure to OCs comes through ingestion of foods that contain OCs. Undoubtedly there are many situations in which entry is by inhalation or by the transdermal route, but food-borne OCs dominate the entry route for most people. It is clear that the interruption of absorption of OCs from the intestinal lumen into the systemic circulation can reduce the accumulation of OCs in the body.\nIt is also clear that many OCs undergo enterohepatic circulation; that is, they move from tissues in which they are stored to the blood, are taken up by the liver, and enter the intestine in bile. They may also enter the intestine directly from cells that line the intestinal lumen. Reabsorption from the intestine into systemic blood completes the enterohepatic circulation loop. As in the case for dietary OCs, inhibition of the reabsorption step can direct OCs to the large intestine where they will be excreted in the feces.\nIn the remainder of this paper, we discuss the means by which absorption from the intestinal tract might be reduced. We also discuss how this intervention might reduce the body\u2019s stores of OCs and comment on some considerations relating to clinical care. A schematic view of the involvement of the intestine in OC metabolism is presented in Figure 1.\nFigure 1: A schematic view of the entry, storage, and excretion of organochlorine compounds.\n2. Oral Absorption\nFor most people, the entry of OCs into the body is via oral ingestion. Their absorption is therefore from the lumen of the small intestine. Based on measurements of the level of OCs as a function of age, there is evidence that some people take in OCs more rapidly than they excrete them from the body [3, 4]. Reducing the intake of OCs from the diet is therefore a strategy that should be considered in high risk situations in light of the fact that the food chain will continue to contain OCs even if their production rates are curtailed.\nMost OCs are very lipophilic, with partition coefficients, expressed as the log10 of the ratio of solubility in octanol to that in water of >6.0 [5]. This lipophilicity results in solubility in food lipids, and the presence of dietary triacylglycerol fat acts to facilitate the absorption of OCs. Dietary lipophilic OCs accompany triacylglycerol through absorption via the lymphatic route with little absorption into the portal vein [6]. They are incorporated into chylomicrons, and in this form a portion of the absorbed OC is delivered to peripheral tissues without encountering the liver for first pass metabolism.\nIt is possible to reduce of the absorption lipophiles from the intestine. Cholesterol absorption can be reduced by the addition of plant sterols to the diet or by ezetimibe, which blocks the internalization of the cholesterol NPC1L1 complex. This approach is specific for cholesterol and has little effect on other dietary lipophiles.\nThe addition of a nonabsorbable oil to the diet also hinders the absorption of dietary cholesterol. Olestra, which is comprised of sucrose bonded by ester links to 6\u20138 long-chain fatty acids, is not absorbed from the intestine. Its ingestion results in an intestinal lipophilic solvent sink that carries a portion of other dietary lipophiles into the large intestine and the feces. Olestra has been reported to significantly reduce the absorption of dietary lipophiles including cholesterol, retinol, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, \u03b2-carotene, and lycopene [7].\nOlestra also interferes with the absorption of OCs. Carbon-14-labeled DDT dissolved either in soybean oil or a 50-50 blend of soybean oil, and olestra was given by gastric gavage to rats that had been surgically fitted with a cannula in the thoracic duct [8]. The percent of 14C-DDT dosed in soybean oil that appeared in the lymph by the animals that received soybean oil was , while the percentage recovered in the lymph of the animals that received the olestra-soybean oil blend was .\nReductions in the absorption of two 14C-labeled PCB congeners were also observed when olestra was included in the diet [9]. Six fasted mice were given a dose of either 2,2\u2032,5,5\u2032-tetrachlorobiphenyl or 3,3\u2032,4,4\u2032-tetrachlorobiphenyl in safflower oil. They then received a diet that contained either 19% (weight) butter fat, or the same diet to which 10\u2009g of olestra was added for each 100\u2009g of diet. Complete fecal collections were made for 48 hours after the gavage, and radioactivity was assayed. Based on these excretion data, the absorption of 2,2\u2032,5,5\u2032-tetrachlorobiphenyl was % of the dose when the butter-based diet was fed, and % when the diet contained olestra. Similarly, the absorption of 3,3\u2032,4,4\u2032-tetrachlorobiphenyl was 43.7 \u00b1 2.0% during the butter-based diet, and % with the diet containing olestra.\nFrom the perspective of minimizing the body burden of OCs, an argument can be made that the most effective mean is that of reducing OC intake. Ideally this approach would be that of removing all OCs from the environment and food. Given the difficulty in reducing residual OCs in the environment, a reduction in intake by hindrance of intestinal absorption is an option that may be considered. The decrease in the absorption of the two PCB congeners noted above corresponds to reductions of 33% and 64% of that ingested. Whether that range of reduction is clinically meaningful depends on background intake of OCs, which is generally unknown for most people. However, in geographical area of known contamination, a prophylactic approach that reduces absorption could be beneficial.\nThe current state of knowledge does not allow us to determine an effective minimum dose of olestra to significantly reduce the absorption of OCs. Ingestion of 14\u2009g/day of olestra significantly reduced the absorption of dietary cholesterol by 16% [10]. Only insignificant reductions in blood tocopherol levels were reported at levels of 10 and 20\u2009g/day of olestra [11].\nThe consideration of the absorption of OCs in the diet is important since the ubiquitous nature of OCs makes it essentially impossible to completely exclude them from our diet even in geographical areas that have not been subject to extensive contamination. Also OCs that enter the intestine from the diet are in the same milieu as OCs and their lipophilic metabolites in enterohepatic circulation which enter the intestine in bile and by nonbiliary transport, as will be discussed below.\n3. Enterohepatic Circulation\nEnterohepatic circulation is a well-documented process that is generally associated with bile acid metabolism. Bile acids enter the intestinal lumen in bile, help to emulsify and solubilize dietary lipids and their digestion products, and then are actively reabsorbed in the distal part of the small intestine. This reabsorption is an efficient process that returns 90\u201395% of luminal bile acids back to the liver and ultimately to bile. This recycling, termed enterohepatic circulation, conserves the body\u2019s bile acid pool with only a small portion being fecally excreted with each of approximately 12 cycles per day.\nThere is evidence that other compounds undergo a similar enterohepatic circulation. This evidence includes the use of olestra in the diet and the measurement of fecal excretion. The first study of olestra in enterohepatic circulation was with cholesterol [12]. Rats were intravenously injected with 14C-labelled cholesterol and then fed diets with or without olestra. Excretion of radioactivity in the neutral sterol fraction of feces was significantly higher in the animals fed olestra. Since the cholesterol had been given systemically, the excreted sterol had entered the intestine in bile or possibly directly through enterocytes, and the introduction of olestra slowed its reabsorption.\nA similar study was carried out with 14C-labelled DDT in gerbils [13]. The animals were dosed with DDT in corn oil, and fecal excretion of radioactivity was followed for 3 months. Olestra was provided in the diet at levels of 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0% by weight. Relative to the control group, increases of 2-3 fold in the rate of DDT excretion were seen in the olestra group. When a regimen of caloric restriction was included, the animals that received 10% olestra increased DDT excretion by 8-fold. Two weeks of this latter treatment resulted in a 50% reduction in total body burden. The data were consistent with the interruption of the enterohepatic circulation of DDE, the principal metabolite of DDT. Moreover, the data indicated that a regimen of olestra and caloric restriction would provide a clinically meaningful reduction in the body burden of an OC.\nThere is evidence that a significant part of nondietary OCs that enter the lumen of the small intestine is not in bile [14]. The mode of this transport is poorly understood but presumably involves sloughing of enterocytes and direct exudation of the OC from the enterocyte into the lumen. It seems reasonable to assume that OCs from intestinal cells enter the same pool in the lumen as OCs that enter in bile, and that they are absorbed from the intestine after dissolution in micellar forms. This kind of nonbiliary entry into the lumen of the intestine has also been seen for cholesterol although this process may be specifically related to ABCG5/G8 transporters [15].\nThe combination of olestra with weight loss was also studied in mice with body burdens with 14C-labelled hexachlorobenzene (HCB) [16]. Caloric restriction combined with olestra resulted in a 30-fold increase in the rate of excretion of HCB.\nEvidence that olestra can enhance the removal of dioxins from humans was presented by Geusau et al [17]. They found that daily ingestion of 15\u201366\u2009g of olestra increased the excretion rate of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin by 8\u201310 fold. During the 38 days of this regimen, the patients did not experience gastrointestinal side effects. Based on these results, the use of olestra for the treatment of chloracne associated with dioxins was proposed by Sterling and Hanke [18].\nMoser and McLachlan studied the effect of olestra on the excretion of PCBs, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, and dibenzofurans in 4 healthy human volunteers who did not have a history of excessive exposure to these compounds [19]. The participants ate 25\u2009g of olestra for each of 3 days, and fecal excretion of the OCs was measured. For essentially all comparisons with the nonolestra period, marked increases in the daily excretion rate were observed. The increases were 1.5\u201311-fold relative to the nonolestra period. PCB 153, for example, was excreted 6\u201310 times as rapidly during the olestra period. The excretion of this congener was 65\u2013270\u2009ng/d during the control period and 560\u20131790\u2009ng/day during the olestra period.\nThese latter data allow us to estimate whether the inclusion of olestra can have a clinically meaningful effect on the body burden of OCs such as PCBs in a period of time that is practical for patient compliance. We can combine the data from Moser and MacLachlan with the known levels of PCBs in the population. As noted above, the relatively highly chlorinated congener, PCB 153, was studied in their trial and was also measured as a part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) as recently as 2004 [20]. A 70\u2009kg person with 20% body fat would have an adipose depot of 14000\u2009g. We can estimate the concentration of PCBs in the adipose tissue from the lipid-adjusted concentration in serum. For a male in the 50th percentile in the NHANES data, this value is 19.7\u2009ng/g (ppb), and the total amount of PCB 153 in the body would be 14000\u2009g multiplied by 19.7\u2009ng/g, which is equal to 0.28\u2009mg. This rate of excretion corresponds to 8.2% of the body burden being excreted in a year and a half-life of 81 years.\nMoser and McLachlan reported that olestra increased the rate of excretion of PCB 153 by factors ranging from 5.6 to 8.6. If the rate of excretion of PCB 153 is increased 5-fold, the excretion rate would be 43% of the body burden in a year with a corresponding half-life of 1.6 years. The results of these hypothetical calculations are consistent with clinically significant effects of intervention with olestra to reduce body burdens of OCs. Although this kind of calculation can be instructive, it does not answer questions about the variability in an individual\u2019s metabolism of OCs that are relevant to the practicality of a regimen that interferes with their enterohepatic circulation.\n4. Mechanisms by Which Fecal Excretion Is Enhanced by Nonabsorbable Lipid\nTwo mechanisms have been proposed for the way that a nonabsorbable lipid enhances fecal excretion of stored OCs: (1) \u201cusing the gut wall as a dialysis membrane\u201d [21] and (2) partitioning of OC in the lumen of the intestine into the nonabsorbable lipid [22]. Although both mechanisms may be valid, there are considerations that argue against the importance of the \u201cdialysis\u201d mechanism in the small intestine.\nThe \u201cdialysis\u201d mechanism is one in which the nonabsorbable lipid makes direct contact with the mucosal enterocytes and extracts OCs through and from the membrane of the intestinal cells. There are three principal reasons that argue against this mechanism as a major factor. First, if the enhancement of secretion through the cell wall results from contact with intestinal fat, then a normal diet would be expected to induce the same process. A typical diet in the US contains 70\u2013100\u2009g of triacylglycerol, a mass that is 3\u20135-fold times the mass of olestra that has been used in enhancing OC excretion [23, 24]. This fat is hydrolyzed rapidly into fatty acids and monoacylglycerol, but it enters the duodenum mostly as intact triacylglycerol.\nA second reason to reject the idea that OCs are extracted from the enterocyte in the small intestine is the understanding of the barrier of the unstirred water layer that covers the intestinal cells [25]. The penetration of this layer by lipid is dependent on the incorporation of the lipid into bile salt-containing mixed micelles. Triacylglycerols and olestra are not incorporated into these micelles, presumably because of their molecular size. It therefore is very likely that the unstirred water layer will prevent an unhydrolyzed lipid from enhancing the secretion of a lipophile from enterocytes. The presence of 15\u2009g of unhydrolyzed lipid in the intestine in the form of emulsified droplets of radius of 1 micrometer would have a surface area of 50 square meters. Although this area is large enough to interact with a part of the approximately 300 square meters of intestinal absorptive area, it should be noted that these droplets contain surfaces of bile salts and polar lipids. The presence of the unstirred water layer presumably will prevent efficient contact with the enterocyte membranes.\nFinally, the effect of nonabsorbable dietary lipid on the absorption of OCs from the diet is consistent with a partitioning of OC into that lipid both in the stomach and in the intestine. OCs that enter the intestine in bile or by direct secretion from the enterocyte presumably enter the same pool of micellar and emulsified OCs as those from the diet. Nonabsorbable lipid affects both dietary and enterohepatic OCs in a similar manner in the milieu of the small intestinal lumen.\nThere is, however, support for the \u201cdialysis\u201d mechanism for nonabsorbable lipid in the large intestine. Rozman published results that argue strongly that hexachlorobenzene (HCB) enters the intestinal tract primarily in the large intestine [14]. Rats continued to excrete HCB even when bile flow into the intestine was diverted by ligation. Monkeys with bile diversion also excreted HCB in feces. It is possible that other OCs are also excreted through secretion and desquamation into the large intestine. If this route accounts for a major part of fecal excretion, it is indeed possible that the presence of a nonabsorbable lipid in the colon may accelerate this process. The colon normally does not contain unabsorbed triacylglycerol since it is well absorbed in the small intestine. Most of the small amounts of fat that enter the colon are in the form of fatty acids and soaps after hydrolysis by pancreatic and bacterial lipases. It is possible that nonabsorbable lipid in the large intestine may facilitate the transport of OCs from intestinal cells to the lumen and thereby enhance their removal form the body in this manner. It should be noted that this mechanism does not depend on interrupting enterohepatic circulation of OCs.\nThere is, however, a significant question about how unabsorbed lipid in the intestine might interact with cells in contact with the lumen of the large intestine. If the lipid is in a phase that is separate from the other components in the milieu of the large intestine, then it may indeed interact with the cells and \u201cextract\u201d lipophilic compounds from the membrane. If, however, the unabsorbed lipid is dispersed with the other components that comprise fecal matter, it would seem unlikely that there would be enough contact between the surface of the lipid and the cells to affect a significant extraction of cellular OCs. Nevertheless, since colonic contents do not normally contain significant amounts of lipid that might act as a solvent, the presence of unhydrolyzed fat might provide a stimulus to move lipophiles into the lumen. Moreover, as pointed out by Schlummer et al., the residence time in the large intestine is long relative to that in the small intestine, and transport from tissue to lipid-laden fecal matter may take place [26].\nThere is no reason to conclude that the two mechanisms of interruption of enterohepatic circulation and of enhancing secretion throughout the small and large intestine are mutually exclusive. It is possible that nonabsorbable fat acts by both mechanisms.\n5. The Influence of Body Fat\nThe hypothetical calculation presented previously assumed approximately normal body weight and body fat composition. A normal body mass index (BMI) of 25 corresponds to a range of 20\u201325% body fat [27]. Individuals with BMI of 35 may have a body composition with 30\u201355% fat.\nIn this instance, a mass of body fat might be 40% of 70\u2009kg, or 28,000\u2009g. Given the same total body burden in two individuals with 14 and 28\u2009kg of adipose tissue, the concentration in adipose in the person with twice as much fat will presumably be half of that of the leaner individual. The concentration of OCs in the blood lipids will also be correspondingly reduced. Although the total amount of blood may also be greater in the person with higher body fat, it is likely that the total amount of OC in the blood circulation will be a smaller fraction of the total body burden when the fat depot is large relative to a smaller depot.\nSupport for this conclusion is seen in the study of half-lives of OCs reported by Milbrath et al. [28]. In a study summarizing reported OC half-lives, they found that the half-life of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) increased with increasing body fat. When body fat was expressed as percent of body mass, the half-life doubled from approximately 4 to 8 years when percent body fat increased from 20 to 35%. When body fat expressed as total mass was considered, the half-life increased from 4 to 8 years as body fat increased from approximately 18 to 28\u2009kg. Increased morbidity and decreased longevity generally observed in obese individuals may, in some cases, be related to sequelae of persistent body burdens.\nPresumably the fraction of an OC stored in the body that undergoes enterohepatic circulation is a function of the fraction of the OC that is carried in the blood to the liver and enterocytes. The efficacy of an intervention that interrupts enterohepatic circulation would therefore be predicted to be related to the amount of body fat that stores the OC and limits its appearance in the blood. A high level of body fat would be expected to limit the effects of interference with enterohepatic circulation if only a small fraction of the body burden of OCs appears in the lumen of the intestine.\nVigorous exercise, sauna therapy, and supplementation with glutathione enhancers may also facilitate mobilization of toxicants from adipose storage sites [29]. Cholagogues and choleretics can also be used clinically to stimulate the secretion of toxicant-containing bile into the intestinal lumen to enhance availability for potential removal.\n6. Weight Loss and Mobilization of Adipose Tissue\nGiven the indications that high BMI and body adipose depot can reduce the elimination rate of stored OCs, it is important to consider the effects of weight loss on the normal elimination rate. It is also important to consider the potential for enhancing elimination by reducing enterohepatic circulation of the OC and its lipophilic metabolites. There is much evidence that a reduction in fat stored in adipose tissue results in an increase in OC concentration in adipose tissue, and also an increase in the appearance of OC in the blood. In addition, the mobilization of OCs from adipose tissue results in their distribution into other tissues.\nWe studied the effects of the interruption of enterohepatic circulation during weight loss [16]. In mice that lost weight during a regimen of caloric restriction, the concentration of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) in the brain more than tripled as adipose tissue mass decreased. In another group of calorically restricted mice that also ate olestra, the increased concentration of HCB in the brain was reduced by 50% relative to the increase in the animals that were calorically restricted without dietary olestra.\nAlso in that study we observed that olestra caused a dramatic increase in the fecal excretion of HCB. We later confirmed that the increase in excretion during the feeding of olestra was 25\u201360% greater during weight loss than during ad lib feeding [30]. Mutter et al. also had observed that fecal excretion of DDE in gerbils was markedly higher when olestra was fed during dietary restriction than during a period when the regimen was by dietary restriction alone [13].\nArguin et al. reported that the consumption of olestra during a 90-day weight loss regimen in humans reduced the increase in blood levels of \u03b2-hexachlorocyclohexane relative to that seen in during weight loss without olestra [31]. Although the relatively short duration of this trial limits conclusions about the effects of olestra, the observation is consistent with the results seen in excretion rates in mice and gerbils.\nGiven the continually increasing incidence of obesity seen in the United States and other developed countries, there is a high level of emphasis on the development of pharmaceuticals, dietary regimens, and surgery to reduce accumulated body fat. Diet and pharmaceuticals currently result only in modest fat reductions, but bariatric surgery has been repeatedly used to achieve large reductions in body weight and body fat. It is not clear how the rapid weight loss seen after bariatric surgery affects the distribution of OCs in patients. Some of these surgeries may result in malabsorption of OCs and interrupt enterohepatic circulation. Whether the interruption of enterohepatic circulation by other means may be of benefit in some of these cases is unknown.\nThere have been numerous reports that a primary excretory route for OCs from women is in breast milk [32]. OCs are readily mobilized from adipose tissue and transported into milk lipids during lactation. Studies in rats have found similar effects. For example, a single lactation cycle depleted a dam of 98% of her body burden of 2,4,5,2\u2032,4\u2032,5\u2032-hexachlorobiphenyl [33].\nPresumably the principal driving forces behind the appearance of OCs in milk are the concentration of the OC in adipose tissue, the mobilization of adipose tissue to provide triacylglycerol fat in the milk, and the movement of OCs with the mobilized fat to the mammary gland cells. The interruption of enterohepatic circulation of OCs would be predicted to have an effect on their appearance in milk fat primarily through a reduction in their adipose stores. A schematic view of how dietary and enterohepatic lipid and OCs can enter milk is presented in Figure 2.\nFigure 2: OC compounds (depicted by solid hexagons) are transported to mammary gland cells from adipose tissue carried by lipoproteins and albumin in blood (A). Chylomicrons also carry OCs from both the diet and enterohepatic circulation (B). Aim 1 addresses transport at (A).\nIt is not clear, however, if a biologically significant amount of OCs in the lumen of the intestine enters milk directly without first passing through storage in the adipocytes. There is evidence in humans that a small fraction of dietary fatty acids from the diet enters milk within a period of time that is consistent with direct entry into milk [34]. It is not known if other lipophilic nutrients follow the pattern of the fatty acids and also appear in milk soon after ingestion. If dietary OCs or OCs secreted into the intestine accompany dietary fat into milk, then it may be possible to reduce their entry into milk lipids by dietary nonabsorbable lipid or lipase inhibitor. At this time further study is needed to determine if this potential effect is clinically meaningful.\n8. Emerging Clinical Considerations\nVarious medical bodies, such as the Pediatric Academic Societies, have recently concluded that \u201clow level exposure to environmental toxicity may be impacting the functioning of the current generation [35].\u201d With the recent emergence of abundant scientific literature correlating exposure to various toxicants with adverse clinical states and mounting awareness of the escalating chemical erosion of human health resulting from widespread bioaccumulation of chemical toxicants [36, 37], it is anticipated that intervention to diminish toxicant burdens in order to preclude and treat disease will eventually become a fundamental component of clinical medicine [38]. Numerous and varied disorders including congenital anomalies [39], neurodevelopmental conditions [40], autoimmune disorders [41], diabetes, [42], endocrine dysfunction [43], mental illness [44], cancer [45], neurodegenerative disease [46] and other assorted afflictions spanning the spectrum of medical specialties have now been directly linked, in some cases, to chemical toxicant exposures.\nWhile some researchers and clinicians have pursued broad-based strategies to eliminate accrued toxicants from the human body in an effort to ameliorate illness [29, 47], no single practical mechanism has yet been identified to eliminate the expansive range of persistent toxicants [38]. One of the main challenges facing researchers and clinicians, as discussed, has been the difficulty eliminating persistent lipophilic toxicants which often have prolonged half-lives because of their affinity to adipose tissue and their propensity for enterohepatic recycling. The clinical strategy of using nonabsorbable fats or other agents to impair fat absorption in conjunction with caloric restriction shows significant promise as a practical intervention to hasten the excretion of accrued lipophilic toxicants and to thus diminish the risks associated with toxicant persistence. Some concerns and novel ideas have recently emerged, however, with the clinical use of some aspects of this approach.\nThe use of tetrahydrolipstatin (Orlistat)\u2014a pancreatic lipase inhibitor which adds nonabsorbable lipid to the lumen of the intestine by inhibiting lipid absorption\u2014has recently come under scrutiny as a result of alleged adverse effects associated with the ingestion of this drug. Although the reported incidence of serious sequelae is decidedly low in relation to the amount of product that has been used (for purposes of weight loss), recent claims about serious hepatic injury [48\u201351] have recently prompted the US Food and Drug Administration to issue warnings about the potential risks associated with consumption of this compound [52, 53]. This caution and the associated media attention have resulted in diminished clinical use of Orlistat for weight loss. As a result, other pancreatic lipase inhibitors are being explored [53, 54], including components of grape seed extract (GSE) [55, 56], chitosan [57], and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) found in some teas [58, 59]. Given the limited study of these materials for detoxification purposes, however, their long-term efficacy and safety profile has yet to be determined.\nThe use of olestra has been associated with gastrointestinal concerns and inhibition of fat-soluble vitamin absorption. In clinical trials, however, gastrointestinal events have been found not to differ from those experienced during consumption of foods with normal fats [60]. All olestra products are supplemented with vitamins A, D, E, and K to compensate for interference with the absorption of these nutrients. As noted below, during a one-year clinical trial testing 15\u2009g/day of olestra in the removal of PCBs, gastrointestinal events were minimal and transient.\nAcrylamide, a widespread contaminant formed in baked and fried starchy foods, is a significant component of potato chips\u2014the primary medium currently used for therapeutic delivery of olestra. Acrylamide has evoked much attention of late with its recent classification as a \u201cprobable human carcinogen\u201d [61]. In addition, developmental toxicity of acrylamide has been identified in human studies [62, 63], and other research suggests that exposure and potential bioaccumulation of acrylamide may also be associated with neurotoxicity [64] as well as genomic, hormonal, and testicular dysfunction in animals [65]. The use of potato chips as a delivery vehicle for olestra will not add to acrylamide ingestion when the chips are intentionally substituted for other baked and fried carbohydrate-based foods containing acrylamide. Other mediums to deliver olestra, however, may be considered in order to preclude this exposure.\nThere is also ongoing exploration of other lipid compounds that are not well absorbed and which might interrupt enterohepatic recycling of lipophilic compounds. Castor oil, for example, has been found to be therapeutic in some situations of toxicant overdose [66] while mineral oil has been noted to enhance fecal excretion of lipophilic DDT [67]. In review, the data suggests that clinical strategies to mobilize toxicants (such as caloric restriction) in combination with the provision of nonabsorbable lipid to the intestinal lumen may be useful in diminishing body burdens of OC compounds. Research is underway at various centers to explore safe and practical strategies that might have a clinical role in facilitating human elimination of lipophilic and other toxicants.\n9. Studies in Progress\nA one-year study of the effect of olestra on the body burden of PCBs in a cohort with elevated PCB levels has been completed. Blood levels of PCBs were measured during the trial, and the data are being evaluated. The trial began with fourteen participants in the control group receiving potato crisps made with vegetable oil, and fourteen in the olestra group receiving potato crisps made with olestra. The olestra dose was 15\u2009g/day. Twelve participants in the control group completed the trial, and eleven, in the olestra group. Adverse events were modest and transient, with only one dropout reporting gastrointestinal problems, and that person received the vegetable oil crisps. This trial is registered in http://ClinicalTrials.gov/, with registration number NCT01261338.\nAnother study has been designed to determine if castor oil along with lipase inhibitors GSE and EGCG, in combination with other binders including pectin [68], clay [69], and activated charcoal [70] might be of clinical use. Taken after tissue toxicant mobilization and use of modalities to enhance biliary secretion into the small intestine, it is to be determined if this protocol used intermittently might facilitate the elimination of a broad range of adverse compounds including OCs. Chronically ill individuals with varying types of toxicant burdens will use this protocol, with pre- and posttreatment stool collections to be evaluated for comparative levels of a multiplicity of recognized toxicants.\nThe addition of nonabsorbable lipid to the intestinal lumen interferes with the absorption of OCs from the diet by sequestering the OC in the lipid phase and transporting it to the colon and feces. This nonabsorbable lipid phase also interferes with the reabsorption of OCs that enter the intestinal lumen in bile or through enterocyte secretion or sloughing. There is a possibility that the lipid phase enhances this transport from the enterocyte, but more study is needed to confirm this possibility. Weight loss mobilizes OCs from adipose tissue, and enhances their appearance in blood and intestine, and thereby increases the possibility for interaction with nonabsorbable lipid in the intestine. Nonabsorbable lipid might affect the appearance of OCs in milk, but there currently are no data to support or refute this possibility.\nIt is possible to add nonabsorbable lipid to the lumen of the intestine, either as a dietary additive such as olestra or through the inhibition of lipase by a lipase inhibitor such as tetrahydrolipstatin. Established risks associated with either regimen are thus far limited to reductions in absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and loose stools which can often be moderated by the adjustment of dose. As of this time, our understanding is that the risk associated with olestra is small-based, in part, on outcomes of a one-year trial in subjects exposed to PCBs. The clinical use of nonabsorbable lipid on a long-term basis should, however, be dictated by the consideration of risk and benefit. Clinical strategies to mobilize toxicants (such as caloric restriction) in combination with the provision of nonabsorbable lipid to the intestinal lumen may be useful in diminishing body burdens of OC and other lipophilic compounds.\nThe study was funded in part by NIEHS grant no.

        "raw_content": "K-12 Recent News Roundup: September 28, 2018\nJulia Roch Shaped Staff\nWith so many stories in the news every day, it\u2019s easy to miss developments that are relevant to you and your district, school, or classroom. We\u2019ve gathered a variety of highlights in education news so you can stay up to date on issues that matter to you.\nN.C. Principal Supports Community in Wake of Tropical Storm Florence\nNorth Carolina communities are still reeling after Tropical Storm Florence, as more than 60,000 students were unable to return to school this past week, according to National Public Radio. Some evacuated before the storm, while others remain in the community but couldn\u2019t attend class due to damaged school grounds.\nOne Wilmington principal, Krista Holland, visited a storm shelter in Chapel Hill, speaking with families from her community, NPR reported. It\u2019s unclear when her school, Anderson Elementary, will reopen, and she worries for her students, telling the news organization, \u201cThe lack of a sense of normalcy for the kids, I think that's where my heart aches the most.\"\nHolland is doing everything she can for families, sending out a phone recording for parents and donating toys for kids at the Chapel Hill shelter. Service learning is an important part of Anderson Elementary culture, she said in an intervie with NPR. Students and staff fundraised and collected supplies for other communities after Hurricanes Matthew and Harvey.\n\"And now we are going to be on the receiving end of help and support,\" Holland told NPR. \"I think for our kids there will be valuable lessons to see that sometimes you give and you help other people,\u201d and sometimes you get help back.\nFrom Classrooms to Public Office, More Teachers Will Be on Election Ballots this Fall\nIn our July 20 News Roundup, we covered the rise in teachers running for public office after nationwide strikes earlier this year. The story continues to draw attention as more teachers enter the race. U.S. News & World Report recently reported that about 550 educators will be on public ballots this fall, with many motivated by a lack of attention paid to educational issues, like compensation, growing class sizes, and teacher shortages.\nFourth-grade teacher Carri Hicks is running for state Senate in Oklahoma, partly due to frustrating meetings with public officials, according to U.S. News. One state lawmaker accused her of lying when she mentioned her class size of 28, not realizing that reported averages of 16 students per class did not represent her reality, she told the news outlet. Jahana Hayes, who is running for Congress in Connecticut, also said she made the switch to politics when she realized that no one else could speak for her students with the same knowledge and experience.\nThe change in career is not easy for many educators. Campaigning takes up a lot of time, leaving working teachers at a disadvantage. Plus, political success requires building a reputation and network, and many educators are unknown in the wider community. Groups like the National Education Association and the Center for American Women and Politics out of Rutgers University help teachers build the skills necessary for their new political careers, U.S. News reported.\nStudy: Wealthy Students Receive Inflated Grades More Often Than Peers\nAccording to U.S. News, a new study sheds light on another disparity between rich students and their less affluent peers: grade inflation.\nThe report examined Algebra 1 grades from all public-school students in North Carolina between 2005 to 2016 and compared these scores with their end-of-year exam results. Generally, only 21 percent of A-students and 3 percent of B-students earned the highest level of proficiency on their exams. Thirty-six percent of B-students did not even score \u201cproficient,\u201d revealing a high degree of grade inflation, the report states. The study found that schools with wealthier students allotted A\u2019s and B\u2019s more often than schools with poorer students.\nThe author of the report explained how frequently inflating grades in affluent schools reinforces the college gap. Students in these schools have higher GPAs, and therefore apply and get into rigorous universities more often than their less affluent peers. Inflated grades also give students self-confidence that may not reflect reality. Students can miss out on much-needed tutoring opportunities and graduate with an inaccurate understanding of their own college and career readiness.\nHMH publishes a news roundup every other Friday.

        "raw_content": "Portlandia Live at Echoplex: Concert Review\n8:47 PM PST 1/20/2012 by Michael O'Connell\nCraig Mathew/IFC\nNothing lost in translation for TV's hilarious musical-comedy duo. TWITTER\nFred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein celebrate and skewer hipsters for Los Angeles fans of the IFC sketch comedy show.\nThe line of bearded men and women wearing chunky sweaters and homemade jewelry stretched down the street on a Tuesday night in the east side neighborhood of Los Angeles' Echo Park, if for no other reason than to draw attention to the absurdity of the evening's festivities: a live performance by Portlandia creators, writers and comedy stars Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein.\nThe duo were at rock club Echoplex to perform the second of two sold-out dates, and those attendees who waited patiently outside were certainly their \"people\" -- any one could easily play an extra on the IFC sketch series, a visual that was only the first of the night's many self-referential moments.\nArmisen and Brownstein (Fred and Carrie, as we'll affectionately refer to them from here) took the stage after a taped introduction from fictional Portland mayor and reggae bass enthusiast Kyle MacLachlan and quickly segued their banter into the series' unofficial musical mission statement, \"Dream of the '90s.\"\nPHOTOS: 10 Movie Milestones of Portland\n\"Portland is a city where young people go to retire,\" Fred explained, dropping references to the carefree (and accessible) life of working in coffee shops and studying clowning.\nTo love Portlandia is to have a certain amount of familiarity with the subject. Knowing the city isn't really important, so long as you understand its stereotypically hipster citizenry. And as Fred and Carrie pointed out in another song from the show (\"She's Making Jewelry Now\"), there are Portland-esque enclaves all over America -- Echo Park being one of them.\nIFC's miniature tour, launched to help promote the series' second season, easily could have been a bizarre hodgepodge of repurposed material, but the hybrid of video segments, musical performance and improv comedy did Portlandia justice.\nGuests don't hurt either. Though MacLachlan, who appeared at the Monday show, was sadly M.I.A., Parks and Recreation star Aubrey Plaza joined Fred and Carrie when they came out as the surly feminist shopkeepers of the Women and Women First book store.\nPlaza's patented dry delivery warms to level of animated Disney woodland creature in the company of these characters, especially when they dismissed her every suggestion as to how they might expand their inhospitable franchise to L.A..\nSTORY: TV's Newfound Love of Portland\nThe night's other strong skit, recalling the first season's short about a complicated attempt to sign up for a cell phone, found Fred and Carrie thinking about renting a car in Los Angeles. Comedian Kumail Nanjiani came out to reprise the role of unhelpful salesmen, offering them the choice between \"body or face\" insurance and car models like a \"Nissan Impregnate\" and \"The Secrete.\"\nFred and Carrie navigating between music and comedy is a funny little dance. Fred, best known for Saturday Night Live, is clearly in his element during the small bits, though he shows an infectious zeal for the singing and guitar. Carrie Brownstein is something else entirely. Adored for over a decade as one third of riot grrrl band Sleater-Kinney, and most recently for her work in Wild Flag, deft musical performances are par for the course. What comes as a shock is how convincingly funny she is in person. Any doubts over her contributions to the duo's material evaporated seeing her natural delivery onstage.\nAt the conclusion of the brief Q&A -- which touched on topics from the usual tattoos of Portlandia's elderly guest stars to Lana Del Rey's lampooned showing on SNL -- Fred and Carrie brought out Bangles frontwoman Susanna Hoffs. They sang a celebratory chorus of \"Happy Birthday\" in honor of her 53rd -- yes, really -- birthday, before playing a brief set of Velvet Underground's \"Sunday Morning\" and the Bangles' de facto hit, \"Manic Monday.\"\nIt was an appropriately earnest note to finish off a night watching two people do what they seem to love most: singing songs and affectionately mocking themselves.",

        "raw_content": "Developments in Adjacent Sectors Open Opportunities for Home Automation to Reach a Wider Audience\nHome automation systems are becoming increasingly simpler for both end users and installers, driving the market forward and acquiring a wider audience.\nLondon, United Kingdom, 01/20/2011 - Home automation systems are becoming increasingly simpler for both end users and installers, driving the market forward and acquiring a wider audience.\nTechnology advances also help create innovative and affordable systems that reach a more extensive customer base.\nNew analysis from Frost & Sullivan (buildingtechnologies.frost.com), European Home Automation Markets, finds that the market earned revenues of \ufffd164.3 million in 2010 and estimates this to reach \ufffd228.7 million in 2015, at a compound annual growth rate of 5.1 per cent.\n'Home automation has witnessed major changes over the recent years; the most significant has been the introduction of tablet computers which are having a major impact on the home automation market, particularly the luxury segment,' states Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Hammam Ahmed. 'So far the market has satisfactorily addressed the new developments and is set to benefit from these advances in a manner that will promote home automation and make it available to a wider customer base.'\nOne of the key differentiators between a luxury home automation system and a simple system is the user interface. 'With the introduction of tablet computers by Apple and followed by other players, the market will soon be inundated with tablet computers used as a user interface with inexpensive, easy -to -develop home automation applications,' remarks Ahmed. 'This will have a positive impact on the home automation market, with touch screen user interfaces becoming largely affordable to a new segment of end users.'\nHowever, home automation systems are lifestyle products considered as non -essential by many end users. Moreover, property developers are often cautious of investing in home automation systems, refraining from adding further cost, which might not be perceived by end users as a value added to the property.\nMoreover, home automation systems are rather expensive products. Nevertheless, prices have been declining due to various factors, including increasing competition among market participants and the pressure on manufacturers to reduce profit margins during the economic recession. The most important factor that has influenced home automation system prices is the introduction of the tablet computer, which helps substantially reducing the cost of the overall system, particularly in the luxury segment of the market. This makes home automation more affordable, boosting sales of the mid -range product segment.\n'The introduction of tablet computers - particularly Apple's iPad - has a huge impact on the luxury segment of the home automation market,' notes Ahmed. 'Using a touch screen tablet computer as a user interface can save up to 50% of the home automation system price; home automation manufacturers should therefore shift their R&D focus from hardware user interfaces to software applications and embrace the new technology.'\nThe concept of controlling a home remotely is starting to emerge and change the way home automation is defined, particularly with more Internet -connected devices and faster broadband connections. 'Home automation has evolved to keep pace with the high rate of technology advancement and the increasingly complex and connected lifestyles,' concludes Ahmed. 'As smart phones and tablet computers become ever more popular, there will be exciting opportunities for home automation manufacturers to develop interesting user interfaces without developing expensive hardware interfaces.'\nIf you are interested in more information on this study, please send an email to Joanna Lewandowska, Corporate Communications, at joanna.lewandowska[.]frost.com, with your full name, company name, title, and contact details.\nEuropean Home Automation Markets is part of the Building Management Technologies Growth Partnership Services programme, which also includes research in the following markets: European Lighting Control Systems Market, Opportunities in European BIPV Market, Opportunities in the European Heat Pump Market and European Fire & Safety Market: Opportunities by Vertical Application Sector.

        "raw_content": "Photo is a courtesy of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs\nThe Hague, 22 January 2019: The Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a key strategic partner for the International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP), supporting ICMP\u2019s Headquarters in The Hague and supporting its core functions and country programs around the world, ICMP Director-General Kathryne Bomberger said today.\nMs Bomberger was speaking after a meeting in The Hague with Foreign Minister Stef Blok. She highlighted the fact that \u201cthe Netherlands was one of the key players behind the signing \u2013 with the United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg and Sweden \u2013 of the ICMP Agreement in December 2014,\u201d and noted that the Agreement, which establishes ICMP as the only international organization in the world that exclusively addresses the issue of missing and disappeared persons, \u201creflects the emerging international consensus about the nature and scale of the global missing persons issue and the urgent need to tackle this issue in a coherent and effective way.\u201d\nThe Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) facilitated ICMP\u2019s move to Headquarters in The Hague in 2015 and also ICMP\u2019s laboratory transition to The Hague, which was completed at the end of 2017. Since this relocation, ICMP has developed its existing partnership with the Netherlands Forensic Institute, and forged ties with Rotterdam University and Leiden University, including through HumanityX , an initiative that serves as the innovation engine of The Hague Humanity Hub. ICMP has been able to develop the operational capacity of its laboratory and begin applying next generation DNA technologies that will advance the science of human identification, which is critical to providing irrefutable evidence of a person\u2019s identity.\nFrom 2015 to 2018, the MFA and the City of The Hague granted ICMP more than 2.5 Million EUR, enabling it to implement, through its Headquarters, core programs that are essential to carry out its global work. The Dutch authorities indicated at the end of last year that they will provide funding of 1.5 million EUR over three years beginning in 2019 so that ICMP can maintain core Headquarters capacities that are needed in order to carry out its work.\nDutch support has helped ICMP, among other things, to set in place systems in Iraq that will assist in identifying those missing from ISIS crimes, launch a new program to gather information about missing persons from Syrians who have sought refuge in countries neighboring Syria, support legislative and institutional processes in Colombia that will ensure that the missing persons framework established under the 2016 peace agreement can operate successfully, test DNA samples from victims of enforced disappearance from the 1964-85 military dictatorship in Brazil, improve the capacity and coordination of countries in the Mediterranean, including Italy, Greece, Malta and Cyprus, to account for missing migrants, and strengthen stakeholder networks among civil society, government officials, and international organizations engaged in the missing persons issue.\nThe Netherlands was one of ICMP\u2019s the earliest supporters after it was established in 1996, and has been a major and long-standing donor to ICMP\u2019s Western Balkans Program. It has also supported ICMP\u2019s development in response to the global challenge of missing persons. The issue affects countries throughout the world and has multiple causes. ICMP\u2019s mandate is to secure the cooperation of governments and others in locating missing persons from conflict, human rights abuses, disasters, organized crime, irregular migration and other causes and to assist them in doing so.\u202f It is the only international organization tasked exclusively to work on the issue of missing persons.\nFor further information please contact Dima.Babilli@icmp.int",

        "raw_content": "As an Educational Psychologist working with children and young people with a range of conditions, including ADHD, ASD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and anxiety, I explored the range of supports and interventions available.\nMy research led me to discover Neurofeedback, a technique increasingly used in America to treat a wide variety of difficulties and symptoms in children and adults. Neurofeedback supports brain regulation. ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, anxiety and indeed the majority of the symptoms associated with most physiological and mental conditions, may be considered the result of some form of brain disregulation.\nIt is a safe, effective and lasting alternative to medication in the treatment of many of the symptoms associated with brain disregulation. Whilst medication treats the chemical imbalances associated with physiological and mental conditions, Neurofeedback treats the bioelectrical functioning of the brain. Training the brain to self-regulate enhances the function of the central nervous system thus improving mental performance, emotional control and physiological stability. Improving self-regulation and improving brain functioning will thus often reduce the need for medication. In addition to reducing the need for medication, improving brain functioning and self-regulation can provide a longer term solution.\nNeurofeedback can successfully treat individuals of all ages who are experiencing a range of difficulties and symptoms.",

Having read and loved Kent's Burial Rites (about a young woman accused of murder in 1829 Iceland), I was eager to read Kent's next book. It's been four years between books, but it was worth the wait.\nThe Good People is set in Ireland in the 1820s, and it focuses on three woman: a woman caring for her disabled grandson, the girl she hires to help, and the local healer. The story focuses on women--these three and the other women in their town in County Kerry. The men in the story are on the periphery, and on the whole are not as fully developed as characters as the women are.\nI read the book quickly--it was an engaging read--but it stuck with me. It's not a happy story, but it is a rich one. There is much to unpack about superstition, grief, and society's views/treatment of women. Two days later, I was still thinking about it. Even now, more than two weeks after I finished it, bits and pieces still come back to me in odd moments. This is definitely a book I want to reread someday.",

I FINISHED FIRST IN MY HEAT!\nFor this round of the contest, I had to write a horror story. It came very easily, thanks to a lifetime of reading Stephen King. In fact, this time I had the opposite problem from Round 1: I wrote too much. We had a 2,000 word limit, and I could have easily written 5,000 words if I hadn't put on the brakes.\nI really like the story I wrote this time, and I think it has great potential. So I'm not posting it. I'm going to work on it and try to get it published somewhere, someday. If you would like to read it in its current form, I'm happy to send you a copy.\nWhat does finishing first in my heat mean?\nIt means the judges like me, they really like me!

        "title": "Episode 4: Cooking Up Resistance - Immigrant Defense Project",
        "raw_content": "Episode 4: Cooking Up Resistance\nPatrick Thaxter is a former chef who now works quietly in the kitchen of a good friend in Germantown, Philadelphia. Originally from Jamaica, he traveled to the U.S. for a soccer tournament eighteen years ago. On that trip, he met an American woman at a Miami club and the two fell in love. After impressing her with his curry chicken recipe, as he recounts, the two got married; he obtained a greencard; and eventually, they had three daughters.\nLater on, Patrick became head chef of Mango Bush, a popular Jamaican restaurant, where many customers once flocked for his curry chicken and stewed peas. Patrick\u2019s life was suddenly shook up after his brother passed away. The restaurant closed down for a month while he took care of the funeral matters in Kingston, the brothers\u2019 hometown. Now short on cash, Patrick accepted a friend\u2019s risky offer for help \u2013 and ended up getting arrested for a marijuana offense in Philadelphia. Instead of prison time, however, Patrick was sentenced to probation, which was later reduced to two years.\nICE arrested Patrick at one of his probation visits. As a greencard holder, ICE could deport Patrick over this one and only conviction from years back. Like many immigrants with old convictions, Patrick feared he would be banned from the U.S. \u2013 from his daughters, his craft, and his community \u2013 for life.\nA cruel double punishment that U.S. immigration law allows for and regularly imposes on non-citizens.\nThe Criminalization of Black Immigrants\n\u201cWhat happened to Patrick and his family happened not just because he\u2019s an immigrant but also because he\u2019s black and because he is working class,\u201d says Carl Lipscombe of the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI), who co-authored the landmark study on Black migrants in the U.S.\nPatrick\u2019s story is emblematic of the particular struggles of Black people caught between our discriminatory criminal legal and immigration systems \u2014 from policing to punishment. It speaks to the ways in which multiple forms of injustice intersect to criminalize and funnel Black immigrants, in particular, into the detention and deportation machine. Like Patrick, roughly 7% of non-citizens in the U.S. are Black immigrants \u2014 and yet Black immigrants comprise 21% of those in deportation proceedings as a result of criminal convictions.\n\u201cBlack immigrants like African Americans, live in communities that are over policed, heavily policed and thus they\u2019re more likely to be arrested and then more likely to go through the criminal justice system. But offenses involving drugs are common in all communities,\u201d Lipscombe says.\nHis fight to stay with his daughters, to continue working his craft, and living his life against the double punishment of deportation is powerful. And fits squarely within Black Philadelphians\u2019 long history of resistance to police violence and oppression. For immigrants of color who have been impacted by the criminal legal system, Patrick\u2019s words resonate, \u201cI was fighting my case before Trump came into office and I\u2019m still fighting my case. I\u2019m gonna fight. That\u2019s all.\u201d\nPatrick: I love cooking you know. I\u2019m a great cook here in Philadelphia. A lot of people know me as chef you know. They call me chef Shaggy. But since I got locked up I lost everything. I spent three year of my career in prison fighting immigration.\nWC: You are listening to Indefensible. \u201cWe do not need new laws. We will work within the existing system and framework. We are going to get the bad ones out.\u201d \u201cSome very sad situations arise when you create a blanket category of people who are going to be deported.\u201d \u201cWhat happened to Patrick and his family happened not just because he\u2019s an immigrant but also because he\u2019s black and because he is working class.\u201d Stories of people resisting deportation. This is Will Coley. \u201cSo, what are you doing now?\u201d\nPatrick: Well today I\u2019m using pig\u2019s tail. I\u2019m putting chicken foot and I\u2019m using ox tail, stewed peas and some red kidney bean.\nWC: Today we\u2019re in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. Patrick Baxter is making Jamaican stewed peas. It\u2019s not his kitchen. A friend lets Patrick stay for free if he helps out around the house.\nPatrick: You\u2019re not rushing it. You know you just want to take your time and slow cook you know.\nWC: Patrick is a reserved guy who comes alive in the kitchen. He has a medium build, a round face, short cropped hair and dark brown skin.\nPatrick: In 1999 I came to the United States to play soccer tournament in Miami, Florida. I met Tonya, my wife, in Miami at that club. I already have my eyes on her and she like dance and our eyes meet. I go over and introduce myself and tell her, \u2018My name is Patrick Thaxter from Kingston, Jamaica.\u2019 We brought back music with share our story on you know. I start to call her. In three months\u2019 time, I moved to Philadelphia. First thing I do is make some curried chicken. She liked it you know so I fall in love with her and um I do say she\u2019s the one. And then I decide I\u2019m not going back to Jamaica.\nWC: So, they got married. Tonya sponsored him to get his green card or permanent residence. But in the bustle of starting a family and work, Patrick didn\u2019t take the next step to apply to become a full-fledged U.S. citizen.\nPatrick: Yo. Be right here man. I got someone talking with me you know. Yeah but immigration thing. Is ah what you call it. Is that real station not to come on air. \u201cPodcast\u201d Podcast you know at the station. \u201cITunes\u201d ITunes. Yeah. What kind of fish? Red snapper. Oh, you want it fried?\nWC: Friends and family call Patrick all the time for advice on cooking. \u201cSo, what are you taking out the knuckles in there? Is that what that is?\u201d\nPatrick: Yeah, yeah. I have to cut it off.\nWC: Patrick became head chef at a Jamaican restaurant in Philadelphia. His daughters sometimes helped out there. Uriah is 15 years old, Amira 14 and Destiny who just turned 11.\nPatrick: My kids them like everything I cook so you know. To those things was difficult for me. So, me and my wife was going through difficult time and we were separate you know. But I was still being a father for my kids and go by them house, make them meal. My brother died actually and I went down there for the funeral. I spent a month.\nWC: Patrick went to Jamaica for his brother\u2019s funeral. The restaurant closed down while he was gone. When he got back he was short on cash. He needed help to reopen so he reached out to a friend.\nPatrick: Him give me some I wanted to sell so I said I don\u2019t have no customer. He said he know somebody who needs something. So, him say I could take it to a person.\nWC: Patrick admits it\u2019s easy to find marijuana in Jamaica.\nPatrick: In Jamaica, it\u2019s like nothing. People grow marijuana in them back yard.\nWC: You knew it was illegal here, though right?\nPatrick: Yeah, yeah. I know it was illegal here you know but I was dumb and stupid, taking a risk. The risk wasn\u2019t worth it. I was sitting in my car. I said, \u2018He not coming.\u2019 So, when I look I see two men jump out of a jeep. So, I start to drive. I didn\u2019t know who it was.\nWC: Patrick thought he was being robbed but he couldn\u2019t call for help. He drove off and they chased him. Soon there was a helicopter in pursuit. Suddenly police cars stopped him. That\u2019s when he realized.\nPatrick: Oh shit these are cops you know.\nWC: So, you didn\u2019t know they were police.\nPatrick: No I didn\u2019t know they were police because they didn\u2019t have on a uniform. And it was an unmarked vehicle. Police was watching that person you know and I didn\u2019t know. So, when I take it over here I get busted. It was a state police. Look. Came out the next day. Get bail. And I start to go court. I got seven charges so them. Them hit me real hard you know but four of those charge was dismissed and they had a three stuck. It was tamper with evidence.\nWC: Why did you do it? \u2018Cause you tried to get rid of the marijuana?\u201d\nPatrick: Yeah. And um possession with intent to deliver. And um reckless endanger.\nPatrice: Hola.\nWC: Hi.\nPatrice: Excuse my condition.\nWC: That\u2019s okay how are you?\nPatrice: I\u2019m great.\nWC: I\u2019m Will.\nPatrice: Patrice.\nWC: That\u2019s Patrick\u2019s longtime friend. We\u2019re in her house. Patrick has been staying here for five months.\nPatrice: I know Mr. Baxter back in \u201906. I met him in \u201906. Um he\u2019s a good friend of mine and he\u2019s also my daughter\u2019s godfather.\nWC: And. And what do you think about the fact that he got in trouble with the marijuana stuff?\nPatrice: No that\u2019s not Patrick at all. It was a shocker to me when I found out from the same friend who I met him through. She\u2019s like, \u2018You know he got locked up for that.\u2019 I\u2019m like, huh? Why he does this? Like they sure it was his? I always knew him as a chef. He\u2019s own restaurant you know do cooking in other restaurants. So, this was like a slap in the face, marijuana.\nWC: Carl Lipscombe from the Black Alliance for Just Immigration says Patrick experienced what many black immigrants encounter in the U.S.\nCarl: I think his experience isn\u2019t uncommon. Black immigrants like African Americans, live in communities that are over policed, heavily policed and thus they\u2019re more likely to be arrested and then more likely to go through the criminal justice system. But offenses involving drugs are common in all communities. You know if we went out into the suburbs or into these college towns and did a sweep of any building we\u2019d find white suburbanites with marijuana in their drawers or on their tables. Um but that\u2019s not what\u2019s happening. Police aren\u2019t in those communities.\nWC: Patrick fought his case for several years. To avoid prison time Patrick was sentenced to nine years\u2019 probation, but it was reduced to two years.\nPatrick: I was still being a father for my kids, go by them house, make them meals, pick them up in the morning, take them to school, pick them up from school. On weekends, them come spend weekends with me. You know, do thing together, sit down and help them with their homework. Well I was. I was going to my probation officer at the time. Immigration was waiting on me at the probation office.\nWC: Patrick\u2019s lawyer in criminal court didn\u2019t tell him that his conviction could lead to deportation.\nPatrick hadn\u2019t yet received U.S. citizenship. Even though he never served prison time, the conviction was enough for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, to arrest him. Now he had to fight for the right to stay in the U.S. With U.S. citizenship, this wouldn\u2019t have happened.\nPatrick: So, I was in York Prison fighting my case.\nWC: ICE took Patrick to York County Prison, an hour and a half drive from Philadelphia. The facility detains more than 600 immigrants. Patrick got free legal help from attorney Dan Conklin who was working for a legal services non-profit.\nDan Conklin: People with an attorney are four or five more times likely to succeed in their case or succeed in whatever application they file or avoid deportation. The immigration law\u2019s written where pretty much any controlled substance offense, other than one offense of simple possession of marijuana, less than 30 grams, is a deportable offense. So, there\u2019s a lot of people who are placed in deportation proceedings for drug related crimes. For example, in Patrick\u2019s case, that\u2019s the only criminal case he\u2019s had where he\u2019s been convicted of any offense. And he has you know three citizen children and I think he\u2019s always been a very good dad. And I think that he has a great deal of remorse for what led him to being placed in the deportation proceedings that happened ten years ago. Um so I think it\u2019s important he. He be allowed to make his argument as to why he should be given a second chance.\nPatrick: Being locked up in York it\u2019s rough you know. And I locked up with every nation there fighting immigration. The judge he was. He was hard on me because I told him I was dumb and stupid at first time selling marijuana. I tell him I have my three kids here. I just want to be with them to be a father you know. And apologize to the judge.\nWC: But the immigration judge ordered him deported or removed. Patrick challenged the decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. When that didn\u2019t work, he appealed to the 3rd Circuit Court. He waited and endured and his family came to visit him in detention.\nPatrick: It was emotion. My kids, them start to cry. I start to cry myself you know. So, kids, them start to lose them grades you know. Their mom lose our place. She get evict you know so she moved to Georgia. She have a sister down there. You know she decide to go down there to start over back again with her sister. So I. I\u2019d say you know what honestly, I pray for my kids just kind of condition my mind, taking myself outside and know you\u2019re locked up now. How can I get out you know? What can I do you know? So, I start facing yourself.\nWC: Immigration law is complex and difficult to navigate. To decipher the 1996 Immigration Act, an entire practice of law has developed over the past 20 years. Lawyers have litigated the very definition of what constitutes an aggravated felony, offenses that result in mandatory detention and deportation. Patrick\u2019s lawyer was able to get him a bond hearing. That meant Patrick could be released while his deportation case is pending. Patrick had been detained for three years. Patrick\u2019s friend Patrice, was willing to give him help when he needed it most.\nPatrice: Consider giving him a second try. I have an extra bedroom. I say why not help him out. He helped me out when I needed him. You know. I mean he doesn\u2019t work for enough money. So, I make him keep his money and take care of the girls. You know he always think about the girls. The girls you know. So, he\u2019s a big help.\nPatrick: Since I came here I\u2019m driving fork lift. I like it job. It\u2019s okay you know. I\u2019m always stay inside because you know I just want to keep safe environment around me. You know things I used to do I don\u2019t do no more like go by friends. You know just get up, work, home, work, home. Soon as my case finish I move from Philly, go to Georgia. \u201cHello.\u201d \u2018Yes Uriah, what\u2019s up?\u2019 \u201cDaddy when you coming down here for Christmas?\u201d \u2018Eh?\u2019 \u201cWhen you coming down here for Christmas.\u201d \u2018Yeah.\u2019\nWC: Patrick is planning to drive to Georgia to see his children at Christmas. He has only three days off work. He\u2019s driving 13 hours down to see them and then 13 hours back.\nPatrick and daughters: Daddy I said when.\u201d \u201cWhen?\u201d \u201cYeah.\u201d \u201cWho this? Amira?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cHey what\u2019s up Amira, how you doing?\u201d \u201cGood.\u201d \u201cOkay. So, you okay with momma?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cOkay. I\u2019m cooking some stewed peas. What your momma making for Christmas? What kind of food you want?\u201d \u201cCurried chicken.\u201d \u201cCurried chicken?\u201d \u201cYes.\u201d \u201cOkay. I buy some curry and carry it with me. Tell your mom buy chicken.\u201d\nWC: Patrick wants to open a restaurant in Georgia to be closer to his daughters. But he doesn\u2019t want to move until his immigration case is finished. He is being extra careful because the stakes are so high.\nWC: But if you go back. If they send you back to Jamaica how long before you can come back to the United States?\nPatrick: Well it. It all depends because some people them banned for life. I dunno um what them will tell me if I go back to Jamaica. I just mix some flour. Mix up the flour, make a dough. I pick it up like this. I do like this and drop it in the pot.\nWC: Have you changed your opinion of the United States or like what happened to you and everything?\nPatrick: Oh no. you see I learned a lot from it so it was good and it was bad you know.\nWC: What was good about it?\nPatrick: It made me look into myself and see what I really want to do in life, where I want to go, you know.\nWC: Cooking Jamaican food takes attention and a lot of time. Patrick is prepared to fight until he wins the right to stay with his family in the U.S. As a result, his immigration case has dragged out for more than three years, most of it while he was detained. Carl Lipscombe of BAJI, says deportation cases like Patrick\u2019s run counter to American values.\nCarl: Deportation is a form of. Of punishment. People should start thinking about whether it\u2019s really right for someone that\u2019s been punished by our criminal justice system and has served their time, to face further punishment.\u201d This March, Patrick has the final hearing on his case. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time. Dan Conklin explains what they need to prove to the judge.\nDC: Now he. He\u2019s at a place in his case where he\u2019s going to have an opportunity to show an immigration judge why his positive factors outweigh the negative factor that led him to being placed in deportation proceedings. I think it\u2019s important that people be allowed to make their case as to why they deserve a second chance. You know for themselves, for their families and sometimes for. For our country because it. It benefits us to have intact families.\nWC: Hi it\u2019s Will.\nWC: Hi, can you hear me okay?\nPatrick: Yeah. I could hear.\nWC: I call Patrick after the hearing. Patrick\u2019s ex-wife and children drove up from Georgia to attend. They weren\u2019t allowed inside. The judge asked Patrick about his children, his job and if he\u2019d learned his lesson.\nPatrick: The judge asked me a question about my family then not talk to me about the marijuana. She said all my paperwork speaks of these things you know.\nWC: His lawyer, Dan Conklin, submitted reams of documents and years of evidence, Patrick\u2019s tax statements and character references from his job.\nPatrick: I was crying too you know.\nWC: Why were you crying?\nPatrick: Yeah because every time that she think of my kids.\nWC: And then he had questions from the trial attorney, the opposing lawyer in court who argues why someone should be deported. She asked him about the restaurant he wants to open.\nPatrick: She said, \u201cWhat kind of food?\u201d So, I said, \u2018Curried chicken, jerk chicken, stewed chicken, oxtail. And I got my own recipe to make mango chicken.\u2019 It\u2019s just so they could season. She said, \u201cTell me.\u201d I tell her I could season up my chicken and pour mango juice in it when I season it up and make it marinate overnight.\nWC: The hearing lasted an hour.\nPatrick: She make the decision right there in front of me and my lawyer and then my lawyer you know he. He pat me on my back you know. And I tell him, \u2018Congratulations.\u2019\nWC: The judge granted him cancellation of removal and the trial attorney said she wouldn\u2019t appeal the decision. After all these years, Patrick finally won his case. That means Patrick won\u2019t be deported and he can get his green card back. This was huge, especially since the vast majority of people with similar charges are unable to receive this relief. Patrick is planning to stay in Philadelphia because he\u2019s still on probation. He wants to resolve that case and save some money before moving to Georgia. But he promised the judge that he\u2019s not going to make a bad decision again. He\u2019s still keeping a low profile.\nPatrick: I\u2019m not going to get in trouble. I\u2019m right in the house. I go to the barbershop and get my haircut and come right back.\nWC: The Trump Administration wants to quickly deport people like Patrick, people with convictions who still have the legal right to fight to stay with their families. Patrick is also fighting for the guys he met in detention.\nPatrick: I\u2019m not worried that much because I was fighting my case before Trump came into office and I\u2019m still fighting my case. I\u2019m gonna fight. That\u2019s all. Don\u2019t sign no paper but keep on fight. Keep fighting. Never quit. Not over \u2018til it over.\nWC: You\u2019ve been listening to Indefensible.

Premises licensing\nIf you plan to charge for tickets to your screening to generate a profit, you will need to check your chosen venue has a premises licence to exhibit films as stipulated by the Licensing Act 2003.\nIs my screening for or not-for-profit?\nIf you are charging for tickets but only to cover your costs, and assuming your screening is to be held between 8.00am and 11.00pm, your venue does not need a premises licence. The Licensing Act 2003 defines screenings of this type as not-for-profit.\nYou can charge for additional activities (such as refreshments or film talks) with a view to making a profit, as long as these are kept distinct from admission to the film itself.\nIf you are screening to generate a profit, you need to check your chosen venue has a premises licence in place. Please note that this extends even to screenings where you are selling tickets to raise funds for charity.\nMy screening will require premises licensing. How should I proceed?\nIn the first instance, check with your venue if they have an existing premises licence in place. Many public-facing venues do; if it\u2019s a venue typically used for other types of entertainment (e.g. a theatre, community centre, concert hall or gallery) it almost certainly will.\nIf you\u2019re unsure, it\u2019s best to contact the licensing officer at your local authority for advice.\nSee below for further details of the types of premises licence you can acquire to cover your venue to screen a film.\nUnder the Licensing Act 2003 a licence is required to provide \u2018regulated entertainment\u2019 to members of the public or a section of the public and for members of a club and their guests. One of the descriptions of \u2018regulated entertainment\u2019 is the exhibition of a film.\nThere are three types of licences available to provide \u2018regulated entertainment\u2019:\nA premises licence\nA club premises certificate\nA temporary event notice\n1. Premises licence\nA premises licence is a licence granted, in respect of any premises, which authorises the premises to be used for one or more licensable activities, such as the provision of regulated entertainment. An application for a premises licence must be made to the local authority that the premises is situated in.\nAs outlined above, since April 2015 you no longer need a premises licence if your screening is a) not-for-profit and b) to be held between 8.00am and 11.00pm. See this exemption (pg. 99) here.\nIf you are using a theatre, community centre etc. to show films you will probably find that the premises already has a premises licence from the local authority. You will need to check with the holder of the premises licence that the licence authorises the exhibition of film. If it does not, the holder of a premises licence may apply to the licensing authority for a variation of the licence.\nFor further details about premises licences please see Part 3 of the Licensing Act 2003.\n2. Club premises certificate\nA club premises certificate is a certificate in respect of premises occupied by, and habitually used for the purposes of, a club, for one or more qualifying club activities specified in the certificate. A qualifying club activity is the provision of regulated entertainment, where that provision is by or on behalf of a club for members of the club and their guests. For further details about the club premises certificate please see Part 4 of the Licensing Act 2003.\n3. Temporary event notice\nYou can apply to your local authority for a temporary event notice to put on a licensable activity (exhibiting a film) if it is a temporary activity where you are proposing to use premises during a period not exceeding 96 hours. For further details about permitted temporary activities please see Part 5 of the Licensing Act 2003.\nThere are exemptions from the Licensing Act 2003 \u2013 a film is not regarded as the provision of regulated entertainment if its sole or main purpose is to demonstrate a product; advertise goods or services; provide information, education or instruction; consists of or forms part of an exhibit put on show for any purposes of a museum or art gallery.\nPlease note the information provided here is a guide and does not constitute legal advice.

However, I sometimes run out of time to search for new (free) books, so I buy a few and keep them in reserve so that I will never run out of really great books to read.\nWhat? What could cause a librarian NOT to want to read print fiction books any more? Don't you love the feel and smell of the paper, especially from those old books that have been sitting on library shelves for years? Yes, I still love the smell of books in an old library. It takes me back to my college days when I worked at the EdPsych Library at Battle Hall at the University of Texas in Austin. And I will admit that I still read non-fiction in print form; it's easier to read charts, graphs and view photographs in a real book.\nWhy? My eyesight is not as good as it used to be, and I find that eReaders have an advantage over print books in that I can adjust the font to make it large enough to read easily. Another advantage is that I can carry the equivalent of thousands of books on a simple device, especially when I am traveling.\nThis post is based on a request from a library coordinator--To provide access to free eBooks and free audiobooks all together in one place.

        "raw_content": "Inhofe Secures Amendments Protecting Oklahoma Businesses in Tax Bill Conference Report\nU.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) praised the release of the conference agreement on H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act today, which included key Inhofe amendments that would ensure the tax cut bill treats all Oklahoma companies fairly, protecting jobs and economic growth in Oklahoma:\n\u201cI am pleased the conference committee demonstrated Congress\u2019 commitment to making the tax code fair and simple by including my amendment to ensure family-owned businesses of all types are treated the same under the tax code. Many of our manufacturers, retailers, farmers, and community bankers have structured their businesses to maximize their ability to grow and create jobs, but the original Senate bill penalized some because of their specific ownership structure. My amendment addressed that, so now family-owned businesses will not be at a competitive disadvantage. The conference report also included other provisions I fought for to support businesses who make capital investments by expanding interest deductibility and protecting the tax-exempt status for valuable community-serving organizations. \u201d\nBackground on the Amendments\nInhofe 1736 - Including trust businesses for pass through deduction. The Senate-passed version of H.R. 1 provided a 23 percent deduction for businesses structured as pass through entities, but it excluded those entities that are organized as trusts. This would have a negative impact on family owned businesses in Oklahoma. Inhofe authored Amendment #1736 to address this issue. The conference report to H.R. 1 incorporated this amendment into the final package; all businesses organized as pass through entities will be treated the same.\nInhofe 1602 \u2013 Increasing the amount of interest that can be deducted by businesses. Both the House and Senate passed versions of H.R. 1 limited the amount of interest that can be deducted by businesses. The House limited the amount to 30 percent of a businesses\u2019 annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Senate limited to 30 percent of a businesses\u2019 annual earnings before only interest and taxes, a significantly lower number. The Senate language would have resulted in a less favorable tax position for many Oklahoma companies. Inhofe authored Amendment #1602 to address this so that the Senate bill would mirror the House. The conference report to H.R. 1 incorporated this amendment into the final package for the first four years of the bill.\nLocal businesses praised Inhofe\u2019s advocacy and leadership on tax reform:\n\u201cI commend Senator Inhofe for his leadership to ensure that family-owned businesses will benefit from comprehensive tax reform. Because Senator Inhofe\u2019s tireless advocacy, our company will continue to be able to invest in the economy and grow jobs in communities across the United States,\u201d said Frank Love, Co-CEO of Love\u2019s Travel Stops and Country Stores. \u201cAmerican family owned businesses are key drivers of robust and sustained economic opportunity in communities throughout the United States and should be treated equally under the new tax code.\u201d\n\u201cI appreciate efforts by Senator Inhofe to ensure that family-owned businesses will see a positive impact from comprehensive tax reform,\u201d said Jeff Records, MidFirst Bank\u2019s Chief Executive Officer. \u201cCommunity banks, like MidFirst Bank, serve as anchors in our communities, providing economic opportunity for families and small to mid-size businesses across Oklahoma and the other markets we serve. Thanks to Senator Inhofe\u2019s tireless advocacy, our family-owned company will continue to be able to maximize our support of community investment and in turn grow the nation\u2019s economy.\u201d\n\u201cWe greatly appreciate Senator Inhofe\u2019s work to ensure that tax reform will encourage more economic growth and investment that will benefit the citizens of Oklahoma,\u201d said Alan S. Armstrong, CEO of Williams Companies. \u201cThe Williams Company strongly supports this legislation and urges its rapid enactment into law.\u201d\n\u201cThe nation\u2019s nearly 2,000 Subchapter S community banks greatly appreciate Sen. James Inhofe\u2019s successful efforts to improve the tax reform bill to correct a damaging provision on trusts that would have harmed locally focused financial institutions,\u201d said Camden R. Fine, President and CEO of the Independent Community Bankers of America. \u201cICBA and the nation\u2019s community bankers thank Sen. Inhofe for his bold leadership in ensuring that these institutions can continue using their business model to best serve families and small businesses in their communities for generations to come.\u201d\n\u201cMany construction firms utilize trust ownership for a variety of reasons, such as estate and succession planning, and asset protection,\u201d said Stephen E. Sandherr, chief executive officer of the Associated General Contractors of America. \u201cExcluding trusts from receiving the pass-through deduction would have resulted in increased shareholder taxes at many construction firms, interrupted ownership arrangements, or forced changes in business entities. AGC appreciates Senator Inhofe\u2019s leadership on ensuring that pass-through businesses with trust owners fully benefit from tax reform under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.\u201d\n\u201cNRCA commends Sen. James Inhofe for his strong leadership in ensuring that tax reform treats family-owned roofing industry entrepreneurs fairly,\u201d said Jim Barr of Barr Roofing, Abilene, TX, Chairman of the Board, National Roofing Contractors Association. \u201cWe greatly appreciate his efforts on this critical issue.\u201d\n\"Senator Jim Inhofe and his staff have tirelessly worked on a number of issues to ensure that American consumers have access to plentiful affordable energy,\u201d said Mike Mears, CEO of Magellan Midstream. \u201cMost recently the Senator played a key role in preserving a competitive structure for Master Limited Partnerships during tax reform deliberations. Magellan and many of America's other pipeline companies are structured as a Master Limited Partnership. This structure provides the public an opportunity to invest in capital intensive energy infrastructure projects. We are grateful for the Senator's leadership on tax reform and other issues important to Oklahoma and the entire country which create jobs and grow the economy.\"\n\u201cMLPA thanks Senator Jim Inhofe for his unwavering commitment to MLPs and our nation\u2019s domestic energy infrastructure industry,\u201d said Lori E. L. Ziebart, Executive Director of the Master Limited Partnership Association. \u201cThrough his determined leadership on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, MLPs will continue to be able to attract capital from the public markets to build our nation\u2019s critical energy infrastructure and in turn lowering the cost of energy for America\u2019s consumers.\u201d\n\u201cI appreciate Sen. Inhofe\u2019s efforts during the consideration of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to ensure the Oklahoma Farm Bureau is continued to be treated as a tax-exempt organization,\u201d said Rodd Moesel, President of the Oklahoma Farm Bureau. \u201cEach year, the Farm Bureau serves Oklahoma\u2019s farmers and ranchers by providing important services to improve the lives of rural Oklahomans. Our mission would have been directly jeopardized if any changes to our tax status had been contemplated in this important legislation. Because of his leadership, agriculture will continue to be a vital component of our state\u2019s economy.\"",

        "raw_content": "\u2018Warcraft\u2019 Is Highest-Grossing Video Game Movie Ever Despite Bad Reviews\nCal Jeffrey\nWarcraft has been crowned the highest-grossing film based on a video game of all time. The movie just finished its second weekend and has taken in $377.7 million in worldwide ticket sales, according to Box Office Mojo. Only one-tenth of that total was earned in North America. IGN reports that China contributed the largest portion of the gross, with over $200 million in box office earnings. In its opening week in the U.S., the film took in $24.4 million, but in its second week plummeted, making only $6.5 million in revenue.\nThe most surprising fact in the story of Warcraft\u2019s highest-grossing accomplishment is that it has been panned by critics. Metacritic listed it with a mean score of 32. That average is based on 40 critic reviews, of which only three were positive.\nAn IndieWire review read, \u201cIt\u2019s rare to feel such pity for a major studio movie, but watching Warcraft bend over backwards to set up a sequel is like watching a desperate paramedic apply CPR to someone who\u2019s clearly been dead for hours.\u201d\nMetacritic listed 19 other similarly disappointing reviews.\nThe Warcraft movie was originally announced in 2006 and has presumably been in production since that time. Sam Raimi was originally signed to direct the film, but he dropped out, according to IndieWire. After going through several more directors, the movie finally landed Duncan Jones, who directed Moon and Source Code. Jones also co-wrote the script.\nCritics find the flaws in Warcraft to be inexcusable, considering the studio had 10 years to polish it and iron out the kinks.\nIndieWire states, \u201cFor a film that had the time and resources to pave over any potholes, the only logical explanation for a disaster of this magnitude is that everyone involved lost sight of what they were making.\u201d\nDespite the poor reviews and meteoric plunge in U.S. sales, Warcraft still managed to snag highest-grossing honors. The film edges out Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for the top spot, which grossed a total of $336.3 million. IGN points out that even if you adjust Prince of Persia\u2019s gross for inflation to $370 million, Warcraft still tops it, and it is still selling tickets.\nMany find it inexplicable how such a bad film can achieve such greatness, but Time points out that China\u2019s cinema industry is booming and has grown 50 percent in the last year. China is also planning on increasing its number of theaters to 70,000 within the next few years. By comparison, the U.S. has approximately 40,000 cinemas.\nRELATED REPORTS BY THE INQUISITR\n\u2018Warcraft\u2019 Movie Has Second Biggest Opening Day Ever in China\n\u2018Warcraft\u2019 Movie Reviews Lead To Warring Opinions\n\u2018Warcraft\u2019: Will The Movie Be Better Than The Game? Fans Stand Divided\nTime owes Warcraft\u2019s success in China to \u201cloyal Chinese fans, seeking escape from a world devoid of meaningful choices.\u201d\nIn a country that has to place suicide nets on tall buildings, it is not surprising that many turn to escapism to forget the daily grind in China. The country hosts more than half of the five million players who are currently playing World of Warcraft (WoW). Considering that over 100 million gamers have played WoW over the years, it begins to become apparent why it has become the video game adaptation genre\u2019s highest grossing film.\nAlso, reviews from critics often do not reflect the overall moviegoer experience. In contrast to Metacritic\u2019s survey of movie columnists are the site\u2019s user reviews. Metacritic users posted 411 positive reviews and only 34 negatives.\nForbes published a review of the film titled, \u201cFive Reasons The Warcraft Movie Is Way Better Than Critics Claim.\u201d\nThe column points out that IMDB users ranked the movie 7.7/10, while critics ranked it 32/100. Rotten Tomatoes showed a similar outcome with 24 percent of critics rating Warcraft rotten, versus 83 percent of viewers liking it. While the Forbes review admits that the film was not great, it denies that the movie is as bad as critics portray.\n\u201cThe orcs themselves are entirely CGI, but it\u2019s actually really good CGI. There\u2019s real emotion on the faces of characters like Blackhand (Clancy Brown) and Durotan (Toby Kebbell.) The characters are fantastic. Just about every action scene in Warcraft is really well done.\u201d\nA majority of viewers on YouTube also praised the movie. Becoming the highest grossing does not seem too far-fetched when taking moviegoer reactions into account.\nHowever, Warcraft may not hold on to the highest-grossing video game adaptation spot for long. The movie adaptation for Assassin\u2019s Creed releases in December. Assassin\u2019s Creed has a fanbase that is only about 25 percent smaller than WoW\u2019s. IGN reported that as of April, 2014, the franchise had moved over 73 million units.\nWhether Assassin\u2019s Creed has a broad enough appeal to overtake Warcraft is questionable. Although the game is noted for its violence, it was revealed at E3 that the film is expected to have a PG-13 rating rather than an R. However, according to Gamespot, the MPAA has not yet rated the movie. The studio is shooting for a PG-13 rating to open the film to a wider audience. Producers will have to wait to see if this strategy pays off. Assassin\u2019s Creed opens December 21, 2016.\n[Image via Universal Studios]",

        "raw_content": "The New Season Of \u2018Supergirl\u2019: How Will It Be Affected By The Appearance Of Superman\nFollowing its freshman season on CBS, the hit show Supergirl will kick off its second season on the CW with the long awaited for appearance of Superman. During the first season on CBS, the Man of Steel was frequently referenced and occasionally teased, but now will \u2013 presumably \u2013 be making multiple appearances alongside his younger cousin. The question is, how will the inclusion of this better-known character affect Supergirl the show and Supergirl the character?\nAs reported some time ago by Entertainment Weekly, the character of Superman will be portrayed by Tyler Hoechlin of Teen Wolf fame. Instead of fur and fangs, he now gets a snazzy suit and a cape. While not exactly a clone of Christopher Reeve or Tom Welling, most people seem to think his appearance will do the job.\nAfter all, if you put any reasonably fit dark-haired actor in Superman\u2019s costume, he\u2019s going to look roughly like Superman. As long as he can act, he should be perfectly fine. But most people are less concerned about the looks of the actor playing the role than the arrival of the character in the show.\nFor many viewers, the character of Supergirl has come to represent the kind of strong, female superhero that the two principal superhero cinematic universes \u2013 Marvel and DC \u2013 have failed to provide on the big screen. Yes, you have had characters like Black Widow or Wonder Woman, but as of yet, their solo films haven\u2019t appeared in theaters.\nThis is why some people feel a bit of concern about the idea that \u201cpoor little Supergirl\u201d might end up being rescued on a regular basis by her better-known relative from Krypton. If this actually happens, it would seriously damage the image of the show\u2019s principal character and might lead to a loss of viewership.\nActress Melissa Benoist attends The Paley Center For Media's 33rd Annual PALEYFEST Los Angeles \"Supergirl\" at Dolby Theatre. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images)\nThere is some reason to be worried about this since in at least one episode of the first season, a barely seen Superman did, in fact, save Supergirl during a big fight at the clich\u00e9 junkyard. While this was essentially a one-off, it\u2019s not inconceivable that it could start happening frequently.\nOn the other hand, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that Greg Berlanti \u2013 the principal creative mind behind Supergirl, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Arrow\u2013 has made a considerable effort to include strong female characters in all of the shows. In fact, it could be argued that the character of Sarah \u2013 a.k.a. White Canary \u2013 is essentially Black Widow for television viewers.\nIn fact, aside from the appearance of Superman on the show, there are many other things happening in the new season that fans have to be concerned about. Most fans are perfectly happy \u2013 and even enthusiastic \u2013 about the move to the CW with its other Berlanti superheroes. But the move to the CW was accompanied by a move to Vancouver from Los Angeles.\nThis physical move could affect the show in many ways. For example, the look of the show will most likely change from its current bright, Southern California appearance. Vancouver doesn\u2019t look a lot like LA. Another problem caused by the move is that the popular character of Cat Grant \u2013 played by Calista Flockhart \u2013 will probably go from being a regular to an occasional guest star.\nAnd while most Supergirl viewers are extremely excited about the prospect of Supergirl more easily interacting with her fellow CW superheroes, this could also cause problems. As reported by the Salt Lake Tribune, the show runners found it extremely difficult to coordinate the three shows they had on the CW. So adding Supergirl won\u2019t be easy.\nThrowing Superman into the mix may complicate things even more. It\u2019s probably safe to assume that Superman won\u2019t only be appearing on Supergirl itself. If \u2013 as seems likely \u2013 the upcoming season of The Flash is leading toward the Flashpoint story arc, it would almost have to involve Superman.\n[Featured Image by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images]",

Matatdi, an eight-year-old boy from the Congo who had a facial tumor which encompassed his entire face, was flown to Los Angeles by the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation with the hope of giving the child a better life.\nTMZ has been following Matadi\u2019s story closely and shared the news of his passing solemnly. The young boy flew to Los Angeles from the Democratic Republic of Congo last week to have lifesaving surgery at Cedars-Sinai Hospital and suffered cardiac arrest at the end of the procedure. Matadi had a \u201crare and unpredictable genetic reaction to anesthesia\u201d and passed away last night at the hospital.\nThrough his foundation, Dikembe Mutombo met with Matadi and his family back in the Congo where the boy had been shunned because of his facial abnormality. The boy was forced to stay indoors and was not allowed to attend school in his village.\nDikembe Mutombo, who is best known for his days as a 7-foot-2-inch center for Georgetown University and various NBA teams announced the boy\u2019s passing on his official Instagram page.\nThis is so so sad ???? An 8-year-old boy who came to the U.S. to have a large tumor removed, has died. His death was caused by a rare genetic reaction to anesthesia.

Matadi was an 8-year-old little boy with a vibrant and appealing personality. He was born in Kinshasa, DRC with a cleft lip and a facial tumor that enlarged as he grew. Matadi was sponsored by the DMF and several partners to receive surgical treatment for his tumor by Dr. Ryan Osborne, founder and Director of Head and Neck Surgery at the Osborne Head and Neck Institute in Los Angeles, CA.\nMatadi and his father were welcomed with open arms by Dr. Osborne, his team and the Cedars Sinai Hospital family as well as the Ronald McDonald House where he won everyone\u2019s heart with his open and friendly attitude. During the delicate surgery, Matadi suffered a rare and unpredictable genetic reaction to anesthesia. Despite the diligent efforts of his medical caregivers, Matadi did not recover and he passed away last night.\nWe are devastated by the loss of Matadi and our heart goes out to his father, his mother and the rest of his family, and all his old and new friends. We are comforted by the knowledge that a whole \u201cvillage\u201d adopted Matadi and joined forces to offer him treatment that was not available in the DRC and which would have given him the opportunity to have a new and different life.\nWe thank Dr. Ryan Osborne and his team, the Cedars-Sinai Hospital medical team, the Ronald McDonald House, the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital, the American Embassy in Kinshasa and all those who in large and small ways embraced Matadi and his family. He was a pioneer, and his memory will inspire us to continue to develop efforts and partnerships to improve the lives of the children of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.\u201d\nPlease keep little Matadi in your thoughts and prayers. He will undergo surgery on Sunday and we are hopeful for his full and complete recovery so that he can return home to his family. We are also praying for the surgical team at Osborne Head and Neck Institute as they prepare for Matadi's surgery. @atlhawks @nbatv @houstonrockets @nbacanada @nba_africa @dikembe_mutombo_foundation_ @georgetownhoops @dofficialmutombo @nbacares @nba #themutombofamily #thesonofcongo????????drc\nA post shared by Dikembe Mutombo (@dofficialmutombo) on Dec 15, 2018 at 9:01am PST\nMatadi\u2019s story captured the attention of the entire country who kept tabs on the young man in the hope that he could be helped at Cedars-Sinai Hospital.",

        "raw_content": "Savannah Spurlock\u2019s Family Reportedly Hit Up By Scammers Asking For Ransom Money For Missing Young Mother\nPolice are still searching for clues to her whereabouts.\nMother-of-four Savannah Spurlock mysteriously disappeared after leaving a bar in Lexington, Kentucky, almost three weeks ago. The 22-year-old gave birth to twins last month.\nShe was last spotted in the parking lot of The Other Bar on Friday, January 4, according to the Richmond Police Department.\nIn photos pulled from surveillance cameras, Spurlock can be seen walking away with two men, according to People. Police have since identified and interviewed those men, but no arrests have been made.\nInvestigators have not indicated whether or not they believe Spurlock disappeared as a result of foul play. So while Spurlock\u2019s family is plagued with constant worry regarding her whereabouts and her wellness, strangers are harassing the family for ransom money.\nSavannah\u2019s mother, Ellen Spurlock, told WKYT that she\u2019s frustrated with people wanting to take advantage of the family during such a difficult time.\n\u201cIt\u2019s very cruel. Very,\u201d she said. \u201cI mean, if these people that are doing this would think about what they would be doing in my situation, they may stop.\u201d\nEllen Spurlock has been contacted through social media by strangers who claim to have possession of her daughter. They have been demanding ransom money, but would also accept gift cards or Bitcoin from the Spurlocks in exchange for her safe return, she said.\nAfter Mom of Newborn Twins Goes Missing, Scammers Seeking Ransom Money Target Worried Family https://t.co/cCyuUSThLj\nSpurlock shared that the strangers\u2019 messages note that if the ransom is not paid within 12 hours, the kidnappers will cut off Savannah Spurlock\u2019s fingers \u2014 or that she would disappear, never to be seen again.\nThe elder Spurlock seemed exasperated that the strangers continue to pester her, and when she has labeled them as fraudsters taking advantage of her at such a terrible time, they responded that she \u201cdoes not care for Savannah\u2019s safety,\u201d People reported.\n\u201cThey have to investigate everything they get, no matter how silly it seems,\u201d Spurlock said. \u201cYes, they investigate all the rumors, and see that holds up on what they really need, to find the truth.\u201d\nSavannah\u2019s aunt, Elaine Moore, told the Herald-Leader\u2014 per People \u2014 that on the day that she disappeared, Spurlock had phoned her mom.\n\u201cShe talked to her mom at about 2:30 a.m. when she was leaving the bar and told her she would be home in a few hours,\u201d Moore said. \u201cThat\u2019s the last time she talked to her. She\u2019s always been very good letting her parents know if she\u2019s staying out late, for them not to worry about her. She\u2019s a very sweet, kind-hearted young lady and would do anything to help anybody. You hate to think about this for anybody. This is just your worst nightmare.\u201d\nSpurlock is 5 feet tall, and weighs approximately 140 pounds. She has brown eyes, shoulder-length brownish-blonde hair, and sports multiple tattoos.",

From fighting to repeal the Obamacare tax to enacting pro-growth, job-creating policies in Washington, the Republican Party has demonstrated it has the best vision for young Americans. I\u2019m proud to support those policies, I\u2019m committed to fighting for them as the next Congressman from South Jersey, and I pledge to work closely with Giancarlo and the entire Young Republican team to bring that message to young voters across New Jersey.\nSingh has already won the support of the Burlington County Republican Committee, the Ocean County Republican Organization, the Camden County Republican Committee, the Atlantic County Republican Committee, and Atlantic County State Senator Chris Brown.\nNew Jersey Young Republicans take an active and involved role in helping to elect Republican candidates to local, county, state, and federal office, and have in many cases gone on to become elected officials, party officials, prominent activists, and well-known community and civic leaders. New Jersey Young Republicans represent a wide variety of political viewpoints and ideologies, and have, as a matter of tradition, been especially welcoming to the development of a broad, majority coalition in the Garden State. Through both electioneering and civic activities, the New Jersey Young Republican Federation and its members make a real difference in the community.",

As you get older the number of stem cells is greatly reduced and they are not as efficient. With the advancements in science over the past 20 years, stem cells have emerged as a key element of regenerative medicine therapies. Stem cells are the basis for human development and they have several distinguishing characteristics.\nStem cells have the ability to change into other cell types in your body and release growth factors. They can renew themselves by replication. These properties enable stem cells to repair damaged tissue such as muscle, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. Stem cells are immuno-modulatory, which means they have the potential to naturally control your immune system, promoting optimal healing. Cells release certain proteins and growth factors that can be very helpful in controlling pain and inflammation in the body.\nDo you suffer from pain in your back or joints, such as hip or knee, which prevents you from living life to the fullest?\nIs walking, cycling, gardening, fishing, or exercising no longer possible without pain?\nIf you are missing out on your best years, visit our regenerative medicine specialist for a consultation to find out if Stem Cell Therapy is right for you.\nALMOST NO RECOVERY TIME\nAfter the in-office procedure, you may enjoy your normal lifestyle while allowing cells to create a balanced optimal environment in your joints. Promoting regeneration and repair.\nYou should feel maximal results within 10-12 weeks.\nAt that point, you may increase your activity level to match your comfort, while understanding that the regenerative process can continue for long periods of time.",

        "title": "4 Things You Should Know About 401(k) Plans | Investopedia",
        "raw_content": "4 Things You Should Know About 401(k) Plans\nRachel Podnos, JD, CFP\u00ae May 9, 2017\nIn many cases there is a lack of understanding when it comes to 401(k)s by employees, employers and sometimes even 401(k) plan administrators.\nLuckily, the important aspects of these plans are fairly simple to explain. If you can gain a basic understanding of just a few of the key features of your 401(k) plan, you will have the ability to make more informed financial decisions and greatly enhance your future financial stability.\n401(k)s Are Tax-Deferred\nAfter FICA taxes, the money you contribute to your 401(k) is taken out of your paycheck before the rest is hit with income tax and passed along to you. The funds in the 401(k) can then be invested in the market to grow over your lifetime.\nShortly after you reach age 70 you will be required to start taking withdrawals from the account each year. Those required withdrawals, called required minimum distributions, will be taxed as ordinary income.\nThere are two major benefits to deferring the payment of tax until later in life. One is you will likely be in a lower tax bracket at age 70 than you were during the years while you were making contributions to the 401(k). The other is that your taxable income is lowered each year you contribute to your 401(k).\nIn Many Cases, Participating Will Earn You Free Money\nMany employer-sponsored retirement plans offer participating employees a match on contributions, profit sharing or both. If your plan offers a match, your employer will match your contributions in some proportion up to some percentage of your pay. If your plan offers a profit-sharing component, your employer may, upon their discretion, contribute company money on your behalf as a profit-sharing contribution. Both of these plan features are free money and you are crazy not take advantage of them. (For related reading, see: How to Get the Most out of a 401(k) Program.)\nYour Contributions Are Always Vested\nThe concept of vesting seems to cause a lot of confusion, but it\u2019s actually fairly simple. The money you contribute to your 401(k) as a salary deferral, as well as the earnings on that money, is always yours from the minute you contribute it. If you leave employment at any time, that money will remain yours and can be moved out of your 401(k) to a new 401(k), an IRA Rollover or mailed to you in a check. Employer contributions to your 401(k), such as matching and profit-sharing contributions, typically vest on some sort of schedule. If you leave employment before you are fully vested, then either a portion or all of the employer contributions will no longer be yours.\nIt Is Not a Piggy Bank\nA common mistake is looking to your 401(k) to solve your financial problems in a pinch. While it may be the best solution in some limited circumstances, it frequently is not, and there are many overlooked pitfalls to using your 401(k) as a piggy bank.\n401(k) loans are enticing because people like to focus on the fact you are borrowing money from your own nest egg rather than from a third party. However, there are quite a few downsides to 401(k) loans that many people fail to consider. First is the fact that you repay the loan with after-tax dollars. So, if you are in a 28% tax bracket, you must earn about $139 to make a $100 loan payment after taxes. There is also an opportunity cost to a 401(k) loan because you miss out on any compound growth your contributions would have benefited from had they stayed invested.\nEarly distributions are also problematic. When you leave employment, you have the option to roll your 401(k) over to a new retirement plan or IRA or take a distribution. If you choose to take a withdrawal, you will pay tax on the withdrawn funds and you will lose out on the future appreciation of your investments. Again, this is a big opportunity cost.\nIf you are under age 59.5, you will also pay a 10% penalty on the distribution. Why the penalty? Because these plans were designed to help you save for retirement, not purchase a house or a car.\nIf your employer offers a 401(k) plan, take some time to educate yourself on how the plan works and start participating if you aren\u2019t already. The earlier you start, the better\u2014but it\u2019s never too late. (For related reading, see: Understanding 401(k)s and All Their Benefits.)\nPodnos, Rachel\nwealthcarellc.com/",

        "raw_content": "Give up diets for good\nSo how is your New Year's diet going? Are you tired of carb cutting, calorie restricting and eating kale salads?\nDon't feel bad if you're ready to give up on your attempts at the latest trendy diet.\nResearch\u2002continues\u2002to confirm that diets don\u2019t work in the long term. Even more startling, repeated weight loss and regain - or \u201cyo-yo\u201d dieting - can increase our risk of chronic disease, says Alison St. Germain, an Iowa State University dietetic internship instructor/clinician.\n\u201cI\u2019ve been a dietitian for 25 years, and the whole world is still preaching weight loss, weight loss, weight loss,\u201d St. Germain says. \u201cAnd if that were useful or sustainable, people wouldn\u2019t have to keep repeating it.\u201d\nThat\u2019s why more and more nutrition experts, including St. Germain, are now recommending that we adopt an intuitive eating mentality.\nBased on the widely respected book \u201cIntuitive Eating\u201d by registered dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Eylse Resch, intuitive eating encourages us to develop a healthy relationship with food and not restrict our food choices.\n\u201cIt\u2019s learning how to eat all types of food \u2014 and still be able to eat your sweets or candy or whatever \u2014 and make it fit into a balanced way of eating,\u201d St. Germain says.\nShe says the first principle of intuitive eating is to reject the diet mentality that permeates our culture.\nResearch shows that developing healthy habits, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and regular exercise, are more beneficial to our long-term health than the number on the scale, St. Germain says.\n\u201cSo much energy and time is spent just thinking about food and weight loss that it is just sort of sad,\u201d she says. \u201cOur talents are not being used to our fullest because we are worried about something like (weight).\u201d\nAdmittedly, it\u2019s difficult to resist the temptation to diet when you see friends and family members on Facebook sharing about all the weight they lost on the Whole30, keto or fill-in-the-blank diet.\nYet research shows that 95 percent of people regain the weight, and often more, within five years.\n\u201cAs a dietitian, I do not ever prescribe weight loss, because it\u2019s unethical from my standpoint because it\u2019s 5 percent success rate,\u201d she says.\n\"If people really enjoy food ..., then food isn't the enemy, and they are going to find themselves being happier. And if they are happier, they are going to be more respectful of their body.\"\nAlison St. Germain, Iowa State University dietitian instructor/clinician\nEmerging research is finding that it\u2019s impossible to micromanage your body to change its shape and size, St. Germain notes.\nFor example, we all have different levels of hormones that control hunger and satiety. People who are obese may have less of the hormone that helps them feel full, she explains.\nIn addition, researchers are discovering that the different bacteria, or microbiome, in our digestive systems may alter how we metabolize food.\n\u201cPeople are so quick to blame the individual, and the individual themselves is quick to blame themselves, but ... the calories that are stored (in the body) could be completely different, even though two individuals ate the exact same thing,\u201d St. Germain says.\nPlus, many of today\u2019s popular diets are difficult to stick with in the long term and, in some cases, could be dangerous if not followed without medical supervision, St. Germain says.\nShe notes that the keto diet, which emphasizes high-fat foods and eliminates carbs, was originally developed as a therapeutic diet to help kids who suffer from seizures.\nIf your body goes into \u201cketosis\u201d for too long and at too high a level, it could be fatal, she says.\n\u201cSo those diets can be dangerous, and the result usually is more weight gain,\u201d she says.\nInstead of making, and breaking, another New Year\u2019s resolution to lose weight, St. Germain recommends focusing on overall health and well-being.\nShe encourages people to choose foods based on three criteria: nutrients, taste and body function.\nSo ask yourself: Is the food nutrient-dense? Does it taste good? (If not, you aren\u2019t going to continue eating it.) And how does the food make you feel?\nSt. Germain says intuitive eating means there are no \u201cbad\u201d foods. We can eat treats like ice cream or candy as long as we balance them with nutrient-dense foods like vegetables and lean proteins.\n\u201cOne meal or one holiday isn\u2019t going to make you unhealthy,\u201d St. Germain says. \u201cIf people really enjoy food and like it, then food isn\u2019t the enemy, and they are going to find themselves being happier. And if they are happier, they are going to be more respectful of their body. And if they are more respectful of their body, they are going to feed it better and treat it better.\u201d\nAnd even though it\u2019s difficult, try to ignore the diet culture on Instagram, Facebook, magazines and television, St. Germain adds.\n\u201cI would encourage everyone to do what I did, especially around the holidays. You can unfollow people. You don\u2019t have to see that. And then what I also do is mostly follow dogs on Instagram,\u201d she says with a laugh.\n\u201cI have so much fun looking at these cute dogs, because social media can really mess with you. Limiting yourself to that information and what you are looking at can help.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Coghlan targets top-four finish\nIRB WOMEN\u2019S RUGBY WORLD CUP POOL B:\nIreland begin their Women\u2019s Rugby World Cup pool campaign in Paris today, with captain Fiona Coghlan targeting a top-four finish for the 2013 Grand Slam winners.\nUL Bohemian and Leinster prop Coghlan, 33, will embark on her third World Cup campaign when Ireland get their tournament up and running with a Pool B opener against the United States in Marcoussis. Having felt the Irish underachieved when finishing seventh in 2010, Coghlan has high hopes this time around.\n\u201cI know some people would say improve your ranking and that\u2019s a success, but I was there in 2006 and we finished in eighth position. Then in 2010 we were a far better team and we only got to seventh. To be honest, that wasn\u2019t very good even though we improved our ranking,\u201d said Coghlan.\n\u201cSo this time I think we definitely have to focus on trying to make the top four, whether that\u2019s by winning our pool or finishing best runner-up over the three pools. From then it\u2019s anyone\u2019s game on the day. As a player having been involved before, I think we should definitely be looking at the top four.\u201d\nIreland head coach Philip Doyle will field an experienced side against the Women\u2019s Eagles, having yesterday named 14 Grand Slam medal winners in his starting XV. Scrum-half Tania Rosser, having missed out last season due to injury, gets the nod over Larissa Muldoon in the absence of the injured Amy Davis.\nCoghlan, who packs down in a front row alongside UL Bohs clubmate Gillian Bourke at hooker with her Leinster team-mate Ailis Egan at tighthead, believes a battle-hardened squad is a pre-requisite to a successful tournament.\n\u201cWhen you\u2019re going into a World Cup you want as much experience as possible. You look at successful teams in the past and they will have had experienced squads. I do think you need that experience, in how to close out games and other stuff, particularly at a World Cup where every point counts, either for or against. We saw that at the last World Cup where we were within points difference of making the semi-finals. Australia got there in the end and we ended up finishing seventh, just through points difference.\u201d\nIn a group that also features three-time and current world champions New Zealand, their second opponents next Tuesday, as well as Kazakhstan, Coghlan understands the importance of a strong start to the campaign. However, she is not taking today\u2019s American challenge lightly.\n\u201cLike any team, you go into a World Cup to win it but we\u2019re realistic about what\u2019s ahead of us,\u201d she said.\n\u201cThe USA, a lot of people won\u2019t realise but they\u2019re actually ranked above us. At the last World Cup we met them on two occasions, in the pool game where we beat them and then in the play-offs when they beat us significantly. So we know it\u2019s a huge task and that they\u2019ll be a very capable side in what will be a huge game.\n\u201cIt\u2019s all we\u2019re focusing on at the moment, we have to get off to a good start in that first game. We haven\u2019t looked too much past that, but it\u2019s very exciting to be going on to play New Zealand, the world champions for the past four times in a row.\n\u201cWe\u2019re not looking past the USA but it is there in the back of the mind that we will be playing the world champions.\u201d\nWith the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2013 taking women\u2019s rugby to another level in Ireland, the IRFU signing a significant sponsorship deal for Coghlan\u2019s team earlier this season and today\u2019s opener with the USA being televised live on TG4, the Irish women are experiencing unprecedented recognition for their sport.\n\u201cTo be honest, I never thought I\u2019d see the day when we\u2019d be on the telly and the recognition we\u2019ve had,\u201d the captain said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s absolutely brilliant and we\u2019ve strived for that kind of recognition for so long that we\u2019re going to just embrace it.\n\u201cThere\u2019ll be a lot of supporters who won\u2019t be able to get over and watch us in Paris so it\u2019s just brilliant that they will be able to watch the matches on television and support us along the way.\n\u201cYes, there is more pressure when you\u2019ve won a Grand Slam and people have higher expectations of you, but no more than ourselves. We\u2019re in it to win it, but we have to see how things go.\n\u201cWe\u2019re definitely going to embrace everything that comes our way coverage-wise and support-wise and hopefully bring the game on again.\u201d\nIRELAND: N Briggs (UL Bohemian/Munster); A Baxter (Belfast Harlequins/Ulster), L Cantwell (Richmond RFC/Exile), G Davitt (Cooke/Ulster), A Miller (Portlaoise/Connacht); N Stapleton (Old Belvedere/Leinster), T Rosser (Blackrock/Leinster); F Coghlan (UL Bohemian/Leinster) \u2013 captain, G Bourke (UL Bohemian/Munster), A Egan (Old Belvedere/Leinster); S Spence (Old Belvedere/Leinster), M L Reilly (Old Belvedere/Leinster); S Fleming (Tralee/Munster), C Molloy (Bristol/Connacht), H O\u2019Brien (Highfield RFC/Munster).\nReplacements: S Lynch (Old Belvedere/Leinster), F Hayes (UL Bohemians/Munster), L Guest (Highfield/Munster), P Fitzpatrick (St Mary\u2019s College/Leinster), L Muldoon (Bristol/Exile), J Murphy (Old Belvedere/Leinster), J Shiels (Richmond RFC/Exile).\nSkipper wary of New Zealand, Canada, England and France\nAs the Women\u2019s Rugby World Cup gets under way with games being televised live on TG4 and Sky Sports, Ireland captain Fiona Coghlan picks out some teams and players to keep an eye out for over the next two and a half weeks.\n\u201cNew Zealand are always a very good team to watch. They have some very elusive players, the likes of Huriana Manuel, their 13, is a phenomenal player and across the park they have some really good players. Looking across the other pools, Canada have invested a huge amount in the women\u2019s game and they\u2019re seeing the rewards of that.\n\u201cEngland are always up there as one of the dominant powers in women\u2019s rugby and they\u2019ve gone pretty much pro for the last couple of months. And then France, at home, they\u2019re unreal and can turn it on when they want to. They\u2019ve won the Grand Slam in the Six Nations this year and they\u2019ll be another team to watch.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Sands Cottage Sleeps 6 \u00a3450.00 to \u00a3895.00 per week\nRight by Calgary beach\nCalgary beach is regarded as one of the Isle of Mull\u2019s finest, thanks to its beautiful white sand and crystal clear waters. Stay at Sands Cottage and you can walk to the end of the garden and be on this famed beach in just a few steps! Holiday cottage locations don\u2019t get much better than this\u2026\nThis is a great area to stay in if you\u2019re interested in cycling, diving and water sports, or if you want to do some wildlife spotting of sea and golden eagles, otters, basking shark, deer and sea birds. As well as easy access to fishing from the coast, the cottage is close to several lochs and rivers for fishing for trout and salmon. Sands Cottage is an ideal base for walkers too. Apart from the obligatory beach combing sessions, a track can be followed west along the coastline of the bay to Caliach Point and there is also a walk through woodland to a local tearoom and gallery, where you will find a good selection of work by local artists.\nParking is available directly outside the cottage and there is a large enclosed garden with a picnic bench and a burn running alongside. With the burble of the burn passing by the cottage and the gentle swish-swash of the sea, your stay will be filled with the charming sounds of the coast.\nEntering the cottage via a porch there is an open plan kitchen-dining area with beautiful stone floors, which continues throughout this level. Finished to a high standard, the kitchen is well-equipped and the feature stone wall at one end adds real character. It\u2019s a space that offers you every modern convenience when cooking, but with all the old-world ambience of somewhere much older when you sit down to eat.\nThe living room has a wood burning stove, a very good selection of games and comfortable seating, as well as a selection of books, television, DVD player, music system and wifi internet access. Dual aspect windows give views both toward the beach and to the woodland at the rear of the cottage \u2013 the best of both views. Also on the ground floor, at the opposite end of the house, is a spacious double bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and shower.\nA winding staircase leads to the upstairs landing, which brings guests to another bathroom, with a bath with shower over, w.c. and basin, as well as two twin bedrooms. Both bedrooms are light and airy rooms that are nicely furnished, with views to the beautiful beach of Calgary Bay, as well as views to the rear of the cottage. Sands Cottage has been furnished very thoughtfully with local artworks and old photographs of Mull. These are nice additions to what is already an outstanding place to stay for a family holiday on Mull.\nHeading north, a 10 or 15-minute drive from the cottage is the village of Dervaig, with its village shop and pub, and Tobermory is a further 15 minutes\u2019 drive from there, where there are a range of gift shops, eateries, an arts centre, theatre and various boat trips departing daily during the summer months. To the south there is the beautiful, unspoilt west coast of the island to explore.\nThere is little wonder this corner of Mull proves such an inspiration to those who visit. It is rare to find such a beautiful place, and even rarer to find a place like this with a holiday cottage in prime position to enjoy it.\nLiving Room: Comfortable seating, multi fuel stove, smart (on demand- no live broadcast signal) t.v., dvd player and a selection of board games and music system.\nKitchen: With cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Dining table to seat six. There is a utility room to the rear of the house (you have to go outside to access this room) with a washing machine and dryer).\nBedrooms: Double bedroom on the ground floor and two twin bedrooms upstairs.\nBathrooms: The double bedroom has an en-suite shower room (shower unit, basin and w.c.) and there is a family bathroom in between the two twin rooms upstairs which has a standing shower head over the bath and a second shower head on the taps, a basin and w.c.\nGarden: Fenced garden with lawned areas and small burn running down one side.\nMulti Fuel Stove: Starter supply of wood provided. More can be bought locally.\nMore at this Property: Wireless internet access. Outdoor seating. Travel cot and booster seat provided.",

Your Ticket is what you can earn at the end of your training. 95% of ITA ticket holders are proud to have their ticket!\nWhy should you get your Ticket?\nOnce you get your Ticket you are certified as a trades person in BC. Getting your Ticket means you can earn more money, have more job security, and have better employment opportunities.\nWho better to tell you why you should get your Ticket than those who already have one? As part of ITA's 10 Year Anniversary we asked tradespeople certified 10 years ago to share their stories and where their certificates have taken them. Below are a few great stories of how the trades can be a great career and life choice!\nKris Sorenson, Electrician\nNancy Fletcher, Cosmetologist\nErik Goldsmith, Electrician\nJeremy Lenz, Machinist\nIt's hard to believe it was ten short years ago that I completed my apprenticeship training and qualified for my Journeyman's Red Seal Electrician ticket (TQ).\nThe time invested in my apprenticeship was with a definite purpose, to learn, to ask questions, and to qualify for my 'TQ'. I felt that with my TQ in hand, I would be very employable. I have always approached my work with pride, and an attention to detail; and because of this I can thankfully say I have never experienced more than a day or two of unemployment to this point in my career. I have strived to continue learning, and adding tools to my arsenal, allowing me to be more skilled and employable had I not.\nA year after receiving my Red Seal certification, I wrote and passed the exam to receive my FSR B designation. Each step of learning, each step of improvement adds to who I have become as a tradesman.\nI was fortunate enough to work with a skilled Journeyman Electrician, through my apprenticeship. A man that was willing to teach me, as well as to allow me to fail when I needed to, so that I might learn for myself.\nIn my current position, I am the 'Electrical Chargehand' for Planning and Development department, at the City of Surrey. I am the FSR B, for the City of Surrey facilities that we currently maintain, which is over 125 in number. I supervise a crew of three other electricians and one fire alarm technician, managing and scheduling work for the crews and I, while co-ordinating external electrical contractors work that exceed our capacities as a crew.\nMy Red Seal Certification has allowed me to enjoy a wonderful livelihood, while having a direct positive impact in the community in which I live and work. I can only hope that many other men and women choose to excel in the electrical trades, not for a job, but for a career; a career that can allow us to leave evidence of our contribution to the neighborhoods in which we live.\nThank-you for the opportunity to share my 'story'.\nKris Sorenson\nNancy has been in the Cosmetology industry for 47 years and a long standing member of the Cosmetology Industry Association. She has earned her Advanced Instructor Diploma as well as the Beauty Safe certification. In 2004, she received her ITA Certificate of Qualification and is now an instructor at the Penticton School of Hair and operating an in house salon.\nShe was inspired to become a stylist by her cousin who was in hair school. At the age of 10, Nancy frequently went into the school with her cousin to practice cutting hair and fell in love with the trade.\nNancy registers all of her students in ITA apprenticeships and has even hired some on as stylists. One of the most rewarding parts of sponsoring apprentices for her is seeing them achieve their goal of completing the program and starting on their way to become certified.\nMy name is Erik Goldsmith and I graduated from my apprenticeship and became a red seal journeyman electrician on October 29, 2004. At the time of my graduation I was working for BC Hydro and I have continued to work for them ever since. Upon graduation I took a journeyman maintenance and operations electrician position at the Bridge River Generating station. The Bridge River Generating Station is located about 1.5 hours\u2019 drive west of Lillooet and was built in the 1940s and 50s. The work there was very interesting because there is such a diverse range of equipment. Some the equipment dates back to the original construction and some of it had been upgraded with modern technologies. In total I spent 5 \u00bd years working at Bridge River, and during that time I was able to use my training and skills to take on new and increasingly challenging positions, starting with the position of electrical foreman and eventually moving on to the position of maintenance and operations manager.\nIn 2010 I moved to Squamish and took on the position of maintenance and operations manager for the South Coastal Generation Area within BC Hydro, and I am still in that job today. The South Coastal Generation Area consists of two generating stations \u2013 Cheakamus and Clowhom, and two dams \u2013 Daisy Lake and Clowhom. I am also one of three representatives on BC Hydro\u2019s apprentice electrician sub-committee. The role of that committee is to look after the hiring and training of all apprentice electricians within BC Hydro. Between my time spent on the apprentice electrician sub-committee and my job as maintenance and operations manager I am always busy, and constantly exposed to exciting new challenges. Overall my career with BC Hydro has been very rewarding and none of it would have been possible without my red seal journeyman\u2019s certification.\nErik Goldsmith\nAfter considering his options, Jeremy enrolled with BCIT in their Machinist Entry Level Trades Training (ELTT) program. Once he finished the ELTT program he was able to secure an apprenticeship with York Machine Shop who he has been happily working for ever since! In October 2004 with dedication and hard work Jeremey earned his Machinist Red Seal certification. He has been machining products for many different industries and with a variety of materials, from carbon steel to plastics and hardened stainless steel to titanium. His Red Seal certification has let him provide for his wife and two children.\nJeremy says, \u201cIt has taught me many life skills, many of which transfer to all different parts of life, including organization and leadership skills that allowed me to open up a non-profit judo club! I feel that I owe a deep gratitude to the trades and working for a great company like York Machine Shop.\u201d",

        "title": "Key to a common currency | The Japan Times",
        "raw_content": "CHINA-JAPAN MUTUAL TRUST\nKey to a common currency\nThe Economist magazine forecast in a recent issue that a future multiple reserve currency system could include the Chinese yuan: \u201cThe world might drift toward a multiple reserve currency system shared by the dollar, the euro and the yen, or indeed the yuan at some time in the future.\u201d\nMeanwhile, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported that 37 percent of the Chinese business executives who responded to a survey believed that the yuan would become a \u201ckey currency\u201d by 2020. It may not be surprising, therefore, that a paper outlining a strategy to make the yuan an international key currency was presented at a recent conference of the Chinese Society of World Economy.\nAs for the yen, the paper said it would remain an international currency but would not become a key currency because Japan (1) is unlikely to possess sufficient national power in terms of politics, the scale of its economy and market size in the years to come; (2) has not succeeded in internationalizing the yen due to a lack of currency strategies; and (3) faces lingering animosities dating back to World War II.\nOn the other hand, China already has a potential national power advantage, and can strengthen it by maintaining high economic growth and active diplomacy.\nThe yuan is becoming widely used in China\u2019s neighboring countries. As China expands its free trade zone through economic integration with the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), China should promote wider use of the yuan in the region. At the same time, by cooperating with other Asian countries to set up an Asian currency system, China could create a better environment for making the yuan a key currency.\nThe yuan, now pegged to the U.S. dollar, should be pegged to a currency basket that includes the dollar and other major currencies; then the weight of the dollar in that basket should be gradually reduced. At the same time, a more market-oriented exchange-rate mechanism for the yuan would have to be introduced. Careful macroeconomic policy should lend more credibility to the yuan. Eventually the yuan will become a key currency along with the dollar and the euro.\nLing Xing-guang, council member of the Chinese Society of World Economy, writes in the International Finance Journal that most Chinese academics do not view the yuan as a key currency. The majority support collaboration among Japan, China, South Korea and the ASEAN countries to create a common currency.\nWhy then is a proposal made for the yuan as a key currency, which would likely invite objections by Japan and the United States as well as suspicions among the ASEAN countries?\nA Chinese friend of mine who studies the Asian currency system says China believes that Japan\u2019s participation in an East Asian Community and an Asian currency system is crucial for Asia\u2019s peace and prosperity, but that Japan might not be very enthusiastic about such participation while giving priority to its military alliance with the U.S. China\u2019s efforts to accelerate economic integration with ASEAN should be viewed as a part of its security strategy.\nChina is strategically prioritizing political \u2014 rather than economic \u2014 interests to promote economic integration with ASEAN. For example, China is opening its agriculture market to ASEAN countries even though its farm sector is overpopulated and noncompetitive. China is already allowing mass imports of tropical fruits from Thailand.\nAt a China-ASEAN summit held in Laos in November, the two sides signed a series of important agreements such as the \u201cPlan of Action to Implement the Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity,\u201d the \u201cAgreement on Dispute Settlement\u201d and the \u201cUnderstanding on Transport Cooperation.\u201d\nIn coming years, the Pan-Asia Railway and highway links between China and ASEAN nations will be built. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has proudly declared that China-ASEAN relations are entering a new stage of all-out, high-speed development.\nThis year a summit of ASEAN plus China, South Korea and Japan is to be held to discuss an East Asian community. The idea is to institutionalize de facto economic integration and to promote further economic development and security.\nEssential to regional economic development is an Asian currency system aimed at controlling exchange-market volatility. A common Asian currency would eliminate exchange-rate fluctuations in the region and facilitate trade and investment.\nAt present, ASEAN currencies are either pegged to the dollar or to a basket of currencies in which the dollar is dominant. So it wouldn\u2019t be hard for ASEAN and China to shift to a common currency basket in the leadup to a common currency. My Chinese friend says it\u2019s not important what you call it.\nAround 1990, few doubted that the yen would become a key currency, but it has not happened because, first of all, Japan has failed to develop effective currency strategies. Reform measures for the Tokyo financial market were too little, too late. Japanese and foreign companies chose to conduct their international transactions abroad rather than at home. And Japan plunged into structural recession while the yen\u2019s internationalization was far from adequate.\nJapan has kept its distance from serious talks on an East Asian community and a common currency, probably due to questions about how its alliance with the U.S. would be affected. However, the integration of Asia is the order of the day. If Japan does not join, it will give way to Chinese leadership. It is, therefore, in the interest not only of Japan, but of the U.S., that Japan help guide a new Asia from within. China would also benefit, as a good relationship with the U.S. is indispensable for economic development and security.\nHideo Tamura, a senior writer with the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, compares the yuan to a giant alarm clock without a stop button. The Japanese government, as if awakened from a long slumber, has decided that it should pursue free trade agreements to create a favorable international environment for Japan\u2019s political and diplomatic strategies, including an East Asian Community.\nIf the government means what it says, one of the first things it must do is improve Sino-Japanese relations. Japanese and Chinese leaders have not reciprocated official visits for three years, and government-commissioned opinion polls show anti-Japanese sentiment in China and anti-Chinese sentiment in Japan rising to unprecedentedly high levels.\nMutual trust between Japan and China is a prerequisite for the creation of an East Asian community and a common currency. Political leaders should be trying harder to establish mutual trust.",

        "raw_content": "Home Sections Health and Living Making the Multi-Generational Household Work\nMaking the Multi-Generational Household Work\nYaakov Kornreich\nAs Rabbi Meyer Waxman discusses elsewhere in this issue, more elderly parents are being forced, by circumstances, to move in with their adult children, as are more young adults who find themselves compelled to move back into their parents\u2019 home. More adults have become part of the sandwich generation, as members of the six million American households today that span three or even four generations.\nMore than 70 years ago, this living arrangement was not uncommon, and was even considered to be something of an American ideal. Think of the multi-generational household that was depicted so nostalgically in the classic TV series, \u201cThe Waltons.\u201d But after World War II, multi-generational living fell out of favor. In 1940, about a quarter of the US population lived in such households, but by 1980, just 12% did. Not coincidentally, this period saw the rapid growth of nuclear-families living in suburban homes, and the creation of huge retirement communities in the Sunbelt states. At the same time, the proportion of newly arrived immigrants, who commonly adopt multi-generational living arrangements during the initial stage of their life in a new country, declined as a share of the total US population.\nA necessity instead of a choice\nToday, most families adopt multi-generational living arrangements out of necessity rather than choice. When elderly parents can no longer live safely alone, loving family members may be unwilling to entrust their care to nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Young adult children find themselves with no choice but to move back into their parents\u2019 home due to the breakup of a marriage or the loss of a job. Some young adults and their families move in with their parents voluntarily, because they prefer the conveniences that a properly structured multi-generation household can offer, but these are the exceptions rather than the rule.\nMost multi-generational households are created on the fly in reaction to an unexpected crisis. In such cases, the head of the multi-generational household must face two fundamental questions. First, what changes must be made immediately to make the living arrangements for everyone as convenient as possible in the short term? Second, are they willing to make the permanent changes in their home and lifestyle that will be necessary to make the new living arrangements practical over a more extended period of time?\nMore simply put, it is one thing to put up your father-in-law on your living room couch for a few nights, or to ask one of your kids to double up with a sibling while grandma takes over their bedroom for a few weeks. But the natural friction from such extended, close interactions, under makeshift arrangements, will eventually start to wear on everyone.\nNo single formula for success\nThere is no set formula for making multi-generational households work, because no two situations are exactly alike. Sometimes the problems may be insurmountable. The head of the household and all of the family members involved need to go in with their eyes open and recognize that if the arrangement is to work, significant adjustments and compromises will be needed on all sides.\nThe first question to ask is often the most difficult \u2013 are the physical living arrangements available suitable to meet the minimum needs of everyone in the household? If not, what alternatives are available? How much time and money will it take to implement them? How will the household function before these solutions are in place?\nFor example, take the case of an elderly parent who can\u2019t climb stairs, who had been living in an elevator apartment building in Florida, and who now needs to be brought back to New York to be taken care of by their adult child who lives in a walk-up apartment. To make such an arrangement feasible, the adult child may have to ask their parent to sell their Florida apartment in order to provide the down payment for a new home in New York that would be more suitable for the entire extended family. Alternatively, if the adult child owns their own home, they may have the option of refinancing their mortgage to pay for the construction of an extra bedroom or bathroom or other renovations (such as installing a wheelchair lift) needed to make the living arrangements more practical over the long term. Before making a final decision, the adult child should also consider whether the cost of the necessary alterations would ultimately be cheaper than placing their parent in a long term care facility.\nPrevious articleBroader Lessons from Genetic Studies of the Ashkenazi Jewish Population\nNext articleIDF to Test Missile Attack Alert System on Mobile Phones\n11-Year-Old Jewish Boy in NY Attacked in Brooklyn\u2019s Williamsburg Neighborhood\nPrinted from: https://www.jewishpress.com/sections/health/making-the-multi-generational-household-work/2012/08/12/",

It happened in China, Myanmar, Iran and most recently Tunisia.\nIn the first three examples, the events have subsided but in Tunisia and Egypt, they are leaving a mark.\nThese new revolutions start in the blogosphere, and the biggest change we have seen has been in terms of organization and operation.\nThe confrontation between any given endangered regime and the protesters not only occurs at the physical level, but also through the electromagnetic currents sent from one place to the next and which represent the hidden front of the revolution.\nThe bottom line is that even though the clash is virtual, it is also real in every respect.\nIn revolutions over the past few decades, the media, led by radio and TV, have been at the forefront. In the first phase, opposition forces would try to reach the governmental power centers, first radio and then TV. It was clear that whoever held the microphone or video camera transmitted the message first. Therefore, regimes would often protect these centers and, where necessary, suspend them lest they slip away from their control.\nBut this scenario is now a thing of the past. Starting in 1980, the year CNN started broadcasting, the media industry underwent monumental changes.\nIn addition to national radio and television channels, often controlled by governments and hence in the service of regimes, global networks with satellite broadcasting abilities started to appear. They crossed geographical and national boundaries and united the world into one big territorial unit.\nThese broadcasts were independent of the various ruling entities and exposed, for the first time, a new reality to the people living in those countries.\nThe media was the driving force behind the fall of the Berlin Wall and the whole East Bloc, and as a result, societal, political and cultural changes occurred all over the world.\nTHE \u201cCNN effect,\u201d as it is called, came to an end somewhere at the beginning of this century when the news organization lost its exclusivity to dozens of similar international and local networks, including Al-Jazeera. The Qatar-based network, which began broadcasting in 1996 and has a budget of half a billion dollars a year, has already taken things a step further and generated an \u201cAl-Jazeera effect\u201d: no more informative and objective (as much as possible) broadcasting, but cohesive and agenda-driven, and aimed at harming other Arab regimes and undermining their stability.\nAl-Jazeera\u2019s unique slogan was \u201cthe opinion, and the other opinion.\u201d In its new incarnation, it has primarily become the \u201cother\u201d opinion.\nThe relationship between Al-Jazeera and Egypt has been marked with numerous confrontations and attempts by the government to stop the hostile network in its tracks. The stronger Al-Jazeera grew, an indication of which included the establishment of its English satellite channel in 2006, the more Egypt felt pressured.\nLast May, the government accused the Qatari network \u2013 together with Iran, Syria, Hamas and Hizbullah \u2013 of planning a revolution in the country and disrupted its broadcasts as a form of punishment. But Al-Jazeera later continued to broadcast and, more recently, stood out in its coverage of the events in Egypt last week.\nAs events escalated, President Hosni Mubarak tried to disconnect Al-Jazeera from the Egyptian satellite Nile Sat under governmental control.\nBut it soon became clear that the technological capabilities of the government were inferior to this new, influential player. Mubarak was amazed to find that he longer holds a monopoly on the information disseminated from his country.\nThis was a new dawn,and Al-Jazeera found alternative means for continued broadcasts.\nBut the crisis runs even deeper. In an instant, the Egyptian Internet infrastructure and with it the gradually formed social networks, were now exposed for all to see. Internet use in Egypt is relatively low, just 21.2 percent of the population or 17 million users; 4 million have a Facebook profile. It\u2019s worth mentioning at this point that the Arab world has become hungrier for digital communication over the past decade. Online users in the Arab world grew by 1825%, compared with 430% in the rest of the world.\nJust last month, WikiLeaks documents revealed that \u201cEgypt\u2019s bloggers are playing an increasingly important role in broadening the scope of acceptable political and social discourse, and self-expression.\u201d\nOne document showed that the Egyptian blogosphere includes some 160,000 bloggers, writing in Arabic and English, most between 20 and 35 years of age and 30% of whom write mainly about politics.\nThis new \u2018enemy,\u2019 as the government perceives it, caught it off guard. Rapid moves were taken to restrict Internet access and on Friday, Mubarak gave orders to shut it down altogether, along with cellular networks. Internet traffic went down by 88%. This turned out to be a double-edged sword as the government and its supporters who were also cut off.\nBut the Egyptian government failed not just to evaluate its technological ability to disrupt Web access, but to anticipate the international reaction to the move.\nThe international media regularly covers Egyptian events, not in the same scope as Europe or North America but also not as little as Africa and most of Asia. Therefore, the media presence in the country grew as the uprising gained momentum. The media were shocked to find their activities blocked and thus prevented from doing their work \u2013 mainstream media and social networks like Facebook and Twitter alike.\nFrom that moment on, the move became a stain on the Egyptian government, outraging media outlets and strengthening Western governments\u2019 reservations \u2013 led by the US \u2013 about Mubarak. After all, they could not let a blow to the freedom of the press go unanswered.\nAs an aside, it should be noted that when China acted in similar ways to block Google, for example, Western countries, for economic and even cynical reasons, settled for weak rebukes and did not apply the same amount of pressure as they did on Egypt.\nAT THE moment, Egypt is largely exposed on television channels and social network sites. The media help recruit the masses and channel the message of rebellion from one place to the next.\nHow can the government \u2013 or for that matter, any government \u2013 deal with a challenge of this nature? It\u2019s almost impossible. But if it insists, it must operate by the motto \u201cif you can\u2019t beat them, join them.\u201d\nIn other words, governments can also participate in social network activity. They can plant \u201cworms\u201d among users, disrupt communication and even motivate them to act on their behalf. Because users are anonymous, the infiltration can certainly poison the atmosphere of solidarity prevalent in these forums. That\u2019s one way to go. But only one.\nEvery government in the world, no matter its agenda, must prepare for the Cyber Age. Not just to deal with riots and demonstrations, but also to prevent terror and sabotage and, most importantly, to protect digital networks essential to daily life: those relating to energy, water, transportation, communication and so on. The US has already established such a military system and in Israel, we see some movement on that front. But for now, it remains a vision for the future.\nAt the moment, it\u2019s clear that Mubarak and members of his government are facing a test to their leadership and rule, and it seems that on the media front at least, they have already lost.\nThe writer is a Kadima MK and a former IDF spokesman.",

Over the years, spring thaw does tend to get folks looking to build, though by that time, it can be a bit late to offset the added costs of winter conditions. It's interesting that clients really don't understand the timing and complexity of architectural design work, lack of information and education the most likely culprits.\nWe'll know in the next week whether pressure is on to generate more work. Though able to maintain a steady workload, it's always good to know that you don't have to \"find work\" and have the flexibility to be a bit more selective of what we do and what we pursue.\nThat said, general contractors remain quite slow... I suspect that this will change in the six to eight months between project inquiry to starting construction.

        "raw_content": "Five Individuals Arrested, Two Contracting Companies Charged in Bribery Conspiracy Related to Department of Defense Contracts in Afghanistan\nWASHINGTON \u2014 Two U.S. military personnel, four Department of Defense (DOD) contractors and two contracting companies have been charged with bribery and conspiracy arising out of their conduct in Afghanistan in 2004 and 2005. Four individuals were arrested on Aug. 25, 2008, and one individual was arrested yesterday on charges contained in an indictment returned on Aug. 21, 2008, and unsealed today in U.S. District Court in Chicago.\nMaj. Christopher P. West, a resident of Chicago who served with the Illinois National Guard at Bagram Airfield (BAF), Afghanistan, as the head of base operations, was arrested Aug. 25 in Chicago on bribery and conspiracy charges. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Patrick W. Boyd, a resident of Rockledge, Fla., and a contracting officer at BAF, was arrested yesterday on bribery and conspiracy charges.\nThe indictment also charges bribery and conspiracy against BAF contractors Assad John Ramin and Tahir Ramin; Noor Alam and his company, Northern Reconstruction Organization (NRO); and Abdul Qudoos Bahkshi and his company, Naweed Bahkshi Company (NBC). John and Tahir Ramin are residents of both Pennsylvania and Afghanistan. Alam and Qudoos are residents of Afghanistan. The companies, NRO and NBC, are also located in Afghanistan. Tahir Ramin, Alam, and Qudoos were arrested Aug. 25 as they entered the United States at O\u2019Hare Airport in Chicago. The Chicago defendants were arraigned today before District Court Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan. An initial appearance for Boyd will be held in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.\nAccording to the indictment, beginning in 2004, West, Boyd and a co-conspirator arranged the award of three DOD contracts worth more than $1 million at BAF. The indictment alleges that the Ramins, who are brothers, paid West, Boyd and a co-conspirator $30,000 in return for the award of a contract to supply BAF with bunkers and barriers, cement structures used for force protection and perimeter walls. Likewise, Alam and NRO are alleged to have paid West, Boyd and a co-conspirator $30,000 in return for the award of a contract to provide asphalt paving services at BAF. Qudoos and NBC are alleged to have paid West, Boyd and a co-conspirator $30,000 in return for a second asphalt paving contract.\n\"We will aggressively prosecute individuals and companies who line their own pockets by corrupting the bidding process for base procurement in Afghanistan,\" said Thomas O. Barnett, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department\u2019s Antitrust Division. \"These contracts were meant to protect U.S. soldiers serving their country, and we will not tolerate corruption that deprives the troops of the benefits of competitively-sourced goods and services.\"\n\"This case clearly demonstrates the effective cooperation between DOD investigative agencies and the shared dedication and fortitude our agents in the field have in pursuing these cases and bringing the guilty parties to justice,\" said Brig. Gen. Rodney Johnson, commanding general of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command. \"Anyone who is contemplating putting themselves in a position where their selfishness and greed overtakes their honor and sense of duty to the nation and taxpayers they serve should beware. We will continue to thoroughly and doggedly investigate these types of allegations, and the findings will be turned over to the appropriate entity for prosecution.\"\n\"America's warfighters deserve the very best to perform their jobs and the taxpayers expect nothing less. Bribery and corruption within the military not only takes away precious dollars necessary for the dedicated American warfighter but it undermines the confidence of the American public who demand a military procurement system that spends their tax dollars wisely and responsibly. This investigation should serve as a warning for those intent on defrauding the U.S. military and American public that the Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) will pursue these crimes relentlessly,\" said Sharon E. Woods, the director of DCIS.\nThe individuals face up to 15 years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for bribery, and up to five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 for conspiracy. NRO and NBC face fines of up to $500,000 for bribery and conspiracy.\nToday\u2019s charges are an example of the Department of Justice\u2019s commitment to protect U.S. taxpayers from public procurement fraud through the National Procurement Fraud Task Force. The National Procurement Fraud Initiative announced in October 2006 is designed to promote the early detection, identification, prevention and prosecution of procurement fraud associated with the increase in contracting activity for national security and other government programs.\nThis case is part of an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Antitrust Division\u2019s National Criminal Enforcement Section (NCES) along with special agents of the DCIS, the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command Division (Army CID), and Air Force Office of Special Investigations. Material assistance to the investigation was provided by Customs and Border Protection, Field Operations in Chicago. Anyone with information concerning illegal conduct in the procurement of goods or services involving DOD contracts in Iraq or Afghanistan is urged to contact NCES at 202-307-6694 or antitrust.complaints@usdoj.gov; DCIS at 800-424-9098 or hotline@dodig.mil; or Army CID at www.cid.army.mil.",

        "raw_content": "These never before seen pictures of Israel in 1967 by legendary photographer Roman Vishniac have arrived at the Magnes as part of a large archive of his work.\nVishniac\u2019s photo archive lands at Magnes, including unseen Israel images\nBy Robert Nagler Miller | November 20, 2018\nIn a development that will add gravitas to the Bay Area art world and lead to a greater understanding of 20th-century Jewish history and culture, the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at UC Berkeley has been gifted the complete archive of the late Roman Vishniac, the internationally renowned photographer.\nThe announcement was made Nov. 20 by Magnes curator Francesco Spagnolo, who noted that the Vishniac archive, on loan since 2005 at New York\u2019s International Center of Photography (ICP), is a vast visual cornucopia: approximately 6,500 prints, 10,000 slides, 40 albums of negatives, 20 binders of contact sheets, 1,500 scientific prints, 400 audiovisual recordings, and a large number of personal documents and notebooks.\nVishniac, who died in 1990 when he was 92, is perhaps best known for his 1983 coffee-table book \u201cA Vanished World,\u201d a visual elegy to the Jews of Eastern and Central Europe in the 1930s, just years before most of them perished in Hitler\u2019s death camps. But as evidenced by the international traveling show, \u201cRoman Vishniac Rediscovered,\u201d which came to the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco in 2016, he was much more than a documentarian of the shtetl Jews of Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Hungary and the former Czechoslovakia.\n\u201cAmino Acid (00 000),\u201d ca. 1970 by Roman Vishniac. All photos from the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, University of California, Berkeley.\nWhile much of Vishniac\u2019s work was done in the service of Jewish philanthropy \u2014 indeed, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee hired him to boost awareness and fundraising efforts \u2014 he also took thousands of other photographs: secular Jews in more urbanized settings, pre- and post-World War II, as well as citizens of Israel in the country\u2019s early years. Indeed, among some of the hundreds of boxes of images that the Magnes received are pictures taken in Israel immediately following the Six-Day War, none of which have ever been published or exhibited, according to Spagnolo.\nOf particular interest to art connoisseurs and science researchers is Vishniac\u2019s scientific photography, in which he focused his lens on the natural world, including cell, plant and animal life.\n\u201cHe looked at the humanities with a scientific eye, and he looked at the sciences with a humanistic eye,\u201d said Spagnolo, praising Vishniac not only for his aesthetic technique but also for his empathy toward all of life.\n\u201cA. Einstein in his office, 1942\u201d by Roman Vishniac\nAs for the human variety, Spagnolo said, Vishniac\u2019s images in the years before the Shoah touched a chord among the Jews of Warsaw, Prague, Krakow and other major cities. Many of these metropolitan Jews, he explained, held a certain nostalgia for their brethren of the shtetls, who seemed so far from them culturally and religiously but were, in fact, often no more than a train or car ride away.\nVishniac\u2019s pictures of the small-town Jews resonated with the \u201cemancipated, urbanized Jews,\u201d Spagnolo said, who had a \u201csense of romanticization of the shtetl \u2026 and a longing for something that was lost [to them].\u201d\nThe origins of the Magnes gift, Spagnolo said, date back two years or so, when the ICP gave the museum 20 Vishniac prints, including a portrait of Albert Einstein. The Magnes mounted a small exhibition of these photos in early 2017 and invited the photographer\u2019s daughter, Mara Vishniac Kohn, now 92 and living in Santa Barbara, to participate in a public conversation about the work with Spagnolo and Zoe Lewin, then a Berkeley student who co-curated the show with Spagnolo.\nKohn and her two children, Naomi Schiff, a longtime Oakland resident, and Ben Schiff, a retired Oberlin College professor with a doctorate from Berkeley who recently moved to the Bay Area, were extremely pleased with the reception they encountered at the Magnes, said Spagnolo. Talks about the future of the Vishniac archive ensued, culminating in its move from New York to Berkeley over the past weeks.\nContact sheet of Roman Vishniac\u2019s shots of New York\u2019s Chinatown\nSpagnolo said the scope of the collection is such that reviewing and organizing the archive in a meaningful way will entail a \u201cmultiyear project.\u201d It is premature, he said, to conceive of the precise nature of future Vishniac shows at the Magnes, but he said the museum will surely find opportunities to showcase some of the photographer\u2019s work in upcoming exhibits, just as it did after receiving artist Arthur Szyk\u2019s collection as a gift last year. In the meantime, he said, the process of discovery is \u201cexciting,\u201d because it will result in \u201cany number of narratives\u201d that have yet to be uncovered.\nMost of the Vishniac archive, Spagnolo said, will be held at the Magnes\u2019 building on Allston Way, with the remainder kept in climate-controlled university storage. \u201cThe Magnes was designed to hold a collection on-site so that it can be accessible.\u201d\nOne UC Berkeley scholar who is enthusiastic about the Vishniac archive is John M. Efron, Ph.D., the Koret professor of Jewish history, who described the gift as a \u201cfantastic acquisition.\u201d\nEfron, who teaches classes on the Holocaust and the Jews of Eastern Europe, said he was particularly taken with Vishniac\u2019s pre-World War II images of the Carpathian Jews, many of whom worked as farmers.\nThe images \u201cwere very evocative of a way of life\u201d of those who were \u201cclosely tied to the land,\u201d he said.\nEfron said these photographs, and the thousands of other Vishniac images, will provide his students with a deeper understanding of the richness and diversity of Jewish life that existed in Europe for many centuries. \u201cMy students will definitely benefit.\u201d\nTags: Magnes, photography, Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life, Roman Vishniac\nWhen bagel makers worked to form a more holey union\nFree and low-cost Yom Kippur services around the Bay Area\nHardly strictly bagels | A gluten-free bagel even a Jewish mother could love",

        "raw_content": "Paxton has won his last five starts in improving to 10-3 and lowering his ERA to 2.84. All five of those victories came in July, which means he\u2019s matched a franchise record for victories in a single month.\nSeattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton stands on the mound as the speed of his previous pitch is displayed during the first inning of a baseball game against the Boston Red Sox, Monday, July 24, 2017, in Seattle.\nTed S. Warren AP\n\u201cMy arm just felt really good today,\u201d Paxton said. \u201cI had a big fastball, and it was just coming out easy today. I wasn\u2019t going out there and thinking about throwing 98 or 99 (mph). That\u2019s just what was coming out today.\u201d\nThis marks the 20th time that a Mariners pitcher won five games in a month. Nobody has ever won six in a month. Paxton will get that opportunity on Sunday when he faces the New York Mets.\n\u201cHe\u2019s a stud,\u201d third baseman Kyle Seager said. \u201cAnytime he takes the ball, you feel really good about it. When he\u2019s on his game like he was tonight, it\u2019s pretty incredible. There\u2019s not a lot of pitchers who can do what he can do.\u201d\nSeager had a leadoff homer that fueled a three-run second inning against Boston starter Eduardo Rodriguez. The Mariners added another run in the fourth inning, and that was it.\nPaxton worked through the seventh before Nick Vincent and David Phelps completed the shutout \u2014 the Mariners\u2019 ninth shutout victory, which matches Cleveland for the most among American League clubs.\nThe victory pulled the Mariners back to 50-51, and they can reach .500 again Tuesday when they send long-time ace Felix Hernandez against the Red Sox in the second game of the series.\nMaybe that\u2019s how it will be from now on. Paxton at the head of the rotation, followed by Hernandez.\nSeattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton throws against the Boston Red Sox in the first inning of a baseball game, Monday, July 24, 2017, in Seattle.",

        "title": "5 Funny Little Quirks That Make My Home MINE - Kiss My Tulle",
        "raw_content": "// This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bank of America Homebuyer Insights Report. //\nFor the past ten years (yes, TEN. I know! SHUT UP!) we have been remodeling our home. He came into our marriage with this house and, at the time, it just made sense for both of us to move in there together. It's been a decade, two kids, and lots of remodeling later and\u2026 we're still not even close to being done. It's mentally exhausting and can really take a toll on you \u2013 especially during the holiday season. So, that's why I like to focus on the good parts of my house during this busy time (instead of dwelling on all the things left to do or make better). It's nice to spend the holidays enjoying and decorating your own home \u2013 imperfections and all! Want to see 5 funny little quirks that make my home MINE? Check 'em out:\nQuirk #1: Our dining area. Originally, this space was where the front door was but after relocating the entrance into the house to a different spot, we ended up with this weird corner. It had a random tall window so putting kitchen cabinets there would have been rough. Instead, I decided to add even more tall windows plus a built-in banquette and make a little eat-in area for us. It turned out amazing and we legit eat every dinner and lots of breakfasts together there as a family. I also love to decorate the windows with different garlands every season and holiday.\nQuirk #2: A tiny pantry nook. When we relocated the front door of the house, we ended up building a whole new front porch and small addition for it. That gave us room for a nice entryway and a (future) half bathroom. Once the framing was up, my husband noticed that the half bath was going to be really long and narrow, so he came up with a cool idea. He \u201cstole\u201d about 2 feet from the back of the powder room and framed it out so that it would create a tiny spot for a pantry in the kitchen area. It really is small, just a lower cabinet and a couple of shelves above, but it's an amazing workhorse! That's where all our bulk items and small appliances go \u2013 which freed up so much space in our kitchen. It also allows me to stash my seasonal and holiday entertaining items out of reach of my kids!\nQuirk #3: An indoor laundry room. Off the kitchen there's a really long and narrow room that used to be completely wasted. It held the water heater and had a door to the outside that took up an entire wall (I told you it was narrow). I used to do our laundry in a dirty shed about 5 feet from the house. When I was pregnant with Melanie, all I wanted was to make that weird little space into a mechanical room/laundry room so I could wash our clothes inside the house. Thanks to help from good friends, we converted it over and now, it's an awesome space where I do laundry, have the food and litter box for the cats, and lots of needed storage. I also love that I have a spot to store my bins of holiday decorations and paper goods.\nQuirk #4: Interactive fridge panel. When we remodeled the kitchen, the only logical spot for the fridge was right on the end of a run of cabinets. Not a big deal, except that your first view when you walked into the house was of the side of a refrigerator \u2013 not super appealing. So, we added a floor-to-ceiling panel that matched the finish on the cabinets to the side. It was nice but was just a big white canvas begging for something to make it special. I added some enormous wooden frames \u2013 there's a magnet chalkboard in one for the kids and a blank one that I use for a rotating holiday season display spot. Right now, it's covered in holiday cards from friends and family.\nQuirk #5: A gorgeous entryway ceiling. We built the entryway right before our wedding and then, at the last minute, used a bunch of old wooden pallets to make tables for the wedding reception. Then, those tables just sat there in the yard doing nothing and so did the entryway. We didn't get around to finishing it off until right before Finn was born. At that time, I splurged and did the walls in a floor-to-ceiling wooden grid treatment. It looked amazing but left little in our budget to buy the beadboard treatment that we'd plan for the ceiling. So, we pulled apart those old pallet tables and added them to the ceiling. It looks incredible and I love the sentimental factor of it. Oh, and don't worry! We totally swap out the regular decor for fun holiday inspired knick knacks and pretty garlands.\nI think that the biggest lesson I have learned from this whole homeowner experience is to embrace your home's quirks and make your house a home. One day, we'll buy a bigger home and it will also have little flaws that I can turn into fantastic features. I was always the kind of person who dreamed about having my own home and remodeling it to exactly what I wanted. I wanted to embrace all it's charms and make it into a home for my family. Are you the same way but overwhelmed by it all? Have questions about how to get started with your homebuying journey? Well, it's easy! Just begin the process by connecting with a specialist and you'll be in your new home in no time!\nAlso, take a bit of time to read the Bank of America Homebuyer Insights Report \u2013 it's filled with great information to help you better understand the homebuying process. For example, after reading the HBIR, I learned that roughly 68% of my generation also viewed their current home as their \u201cfor now\u201d house and not their \u201cforever\u201d home. I also discovered that over 63% of homebuyers take their children's opinions into consideration when looking for a new home. I love that since Melanie and Finn definitely have certain needs and preferences that would need to be considered before we purchase a new home. And look, I know that some of you are reading this while living at your parent's house and trying to commit to your future. Y'all, THAT TIME IS NOW. Don't be a part of the \u201cboomerang\u201d culture. Did you know that for however much you're paying in rent to live in one room at your parent's house \u2013 you could be living in your own home? Contact a specialist today and give your family the best gift this holiday season \u2013 a home of your own!",

Why would the hostility be so strong that in Great Britain until the mid-nineteenth century, in the early American colonies, and in Chechnya in 2017, death would be considered a suitable punishment for those who engaged in this activity? Beyond homosexuality, what interest did (and do) people living in a supposedly secular and liberal society have in regulating perhaps the most intimate aspect of an adult\u2019s life\u2014consensual sexual behavior with another adult? How do people decide which sexual acts, conducted in private, have a public impact and, therefore, become the public\u2019s business? For our purposes, why do Americans think as we do about sex, and how have we used the Constitution, and the laws of the fifty states, to instantiate those beliefs?\nIn his deeply researched new book, Sex and the Constitution: Sex, Religion, and Law from America\u2019s Origins to the Twenty-First Century, Geoffrey R. Stone gives his answer to these and other questions about our country\u2019s regulation of sex, with a special emphasis on same-sex activity. According to Stone, a scholar of constitutional law at the University of Chicago, Christianity has exerted the biggest influence on how we have addressed the issue from colonial times to today. The \u201ccentral theme\u201d of Sex and the Constitution \u201cis that American attitudes about sex have been shaped over the centuries by religious beliefs\u2014more particularly, by early Christian beliefs\u2014about sex, sin, and shame.\u201d\nRead more at The New York Review of Books",

        "raw_content": "Youth Alcoholism\nYouth alcoholism continues to have devastating effects with more than 5,000 deaths each year attributable to alcohol consumption by young people under the age of 21. These deaths related to teenage alcoholism result from intoxication-related car accidents, homicides, suicide, burns, falls, and drownings.\nStrategies to curb underage drinking and youth alcoholism can be divided into two categories, environmental interventions and individual interventions. Ideally a combination of both types of interventions would be used to cut down on teen alcoholism.\nMeasures to Reduce or Prevent Teenage Alcoholism\nEnvironmental: These teenage alcoholism prevention initiatives are designed to reduce opportunities for youth to engage in underage drinking and include heightening awareness of the problem, increasing legal penalties for underage drinking and engaging community support to stop alcohol use by youth.\nEnvironmental-focused interventions include:\nIncreasing the cost of alcohol.\nStudies have shown that teens are less likely to purchase alcohol when it\u2019s expensive. Obviously, teens have limited funds for such things.\nRaising the minimum legal drinking age.\nStudies show that the earlier one begins drinking, the greater the likelihood of alcoholism. Also, binge drinking is most prevalent among teens and those in their early twenties. Binge drinking is very dangerous, carrying with it the risk of alcohol poisoning, coma, and even death.\nRaising public awareness through public service campaigns and other initiatives.\nThere are already some public services campaigns, but more are needed. In addition, the \u201cjust say no\u201d and similar initiatives are not really effective. Campaigns based on research would be better.\nRestaurant and bar server training and compliance checks. This should also include the training of all store clerks where alcohol is sold.\nIn one study, more than 90% of high school seniors said it was easy for them to obtain alcohol when they wanted it. When alcohol is so easy to get, teens will continue to use it.\nDeterring adults from purchasing alcohol for minors or providing alcohol to minors.\nIt is illegal to provide minors with alcohol, but laws need to be consistently enforced. Giving alcohol to teens not only encourages them to drink, it sends the message that underage drinking is OK.\nEnforcing penalties for the DWI (driving while intoxicated, use of false IDs, and violating zero-tolerance laws.\nOne law that has proven useful is suspending or revoking the driver\u2019s license of anyone underage caught drinking. It\u2019s powerful deterrent for teens.\nIndividual Measures to Reduce or Prevent Youth Alcoholism\nThese youth alcoholism prevention initiatives help educate and prepare youth to resist the urge to experiment with alcohol and drink in spite of influences and opportunities to which they are exposed.\nEducation that focuses on addressing attitudes and motivational factors, as well as providing youth with skills that enable them to \u201csay no\u201d and wait until they are of legal drinking age, has been proven most helpful.\nIndividual-focused teenage alcoholism interventions include:\nSchool-based prevention programs that include addressing peer pressure to drink and teaching teens how to resist those pressures in addition to providing information about the dangers of drinking.\nThese programs also offer interactive and developmentally appropriate information, include peer-led components, and provide teacher training.\nFamily-oriented prevention initiatives where parents\u2019 ability to influence their children\u2019s behavior and attitudes play a critical role.\nSetting and enforcing rules against underage drinking and monitoring the child\u2019s behavior have proven to help reduce the propensity of underage drinking and onset of youth alcoholism.\nFor family-based teenage alcoholism interventions to be effective, parents need to be informed about the risks of teenage alcoholism and know how to talk to their child about alcohol use. Public campaigns can address these issues and so can school-based programs.\nMore than youth alcoholism on our teenage alcoholism page",

        "raw_content": "Pomp and pageantry: city\u2019s first \u00a31 million new street\nthe Lord Mayor of London made a special trip to the east Midlands, to help open a major new development\nThe official opening by the Lord Mayor of London of Leicester's new Charles Street\nFor better or worse, one thing they certainly used to do better in the \"old days\" is pomp and circumstance.\nThis photograph, above, showing the official opening, by the Lord Mayor of London, of Leicester's new Charles Street, 85 years ago, illustrates the point perfectly.\nIt is not an official photograph of the occasion, but one taken by Harold Allen, whose nephew, John Owens, of Fleckney, loaned to me.\nJohn said he found the photo in his father's \"box of things, when he passed away.\"\nThe opening ceremony took place on June 21, 1932, with plenty of pomp and pageantry.\nAsides from all the bunting, flags and banners, the main players have also turned up in their finery \u2013 complete with a polished Rolls-Royce.\nEither side of the road are firemen in polished brass helmets. There is a preponderance of town officials in large ceremonial three-pointed hats and velvety robes.\nCivic council officers look on in starched stiff pointy collars and smart suits: even the public onlookers look well-dressed \u2013 but, then, in those days, everyone did \u2013 and made an effort to do so.\nThe Lord Mayors of London and Leicester cut the tape at the opening of Charles Street\nMystery Leicester bungalows researched\nThe large YMCA building \u2013 with onlookers leaning out of the open windows \u2013 is the most prominent and recognisable feature in the photo.\nAll the buildings to the left have been swept away since, as has the spire, though the church and tower of St John the Divine remain.\nSo, what was so special about a new road opening? Surely there was plenty of road-building in the 1930s?\nWhen Leicester's Charles Street was built, it was seen as a model inner-city new road, which would solve Leicester's traffic problems, encourage trade, and set the seal on Leicester as the City Of Progress for the nation.\nReputedly originally named after Charles II, Charles Street was for many years a narrow street of mixed housing and industry, with Thomas Firth's factory towering over the street and Wilford's shoe warehouse a landmark between the shops and terraced houses.\nThe adventurous redevelopment plan cost over \u00a31 million \u2013 about \u00a357.5 million today \u2013 unusual in the 1930s.\nThe chance to create a modern street scene attracted prestige firms and architects: one building was to be a Royal Institute of British Architects medal winner.\nThe Lord Mayor of London arrives at London Road station - and travels about 20 yards by Rolls-Royce to the tape-cutting point!\nThe time warp street which remains largely unchanged\nHowever, some gaps remained: one empty site was a car park for many years, until development as municipal offices, today's City Hall.\nFamous British travel writer Arthur Mee, writing just after it opened, was enthusiastic.\nHe wrote: \"Too many big cities are handicapped by narrow streets, but Leicester had boldly pulled down a whole frontage in the heart of the city, and made a roadway 85ft-wide for over half-a-mile, sweeping away hundreds of houses and lining the road with the new buildings, one notable new block being the police headquarters.\n\"Charles Street has cost a million pounds, but has given dignity and spaciousness to the route from London to the North: It is a piece of national public service.\"\nToday, mainly because public vehicular access ends at the Humberstone Gate junction, Charles Street is not as heavily used as much as it once was.\nIt is not (normally) packed with nose-to-tail cars as much as the ring road, which largely bypasses Charles Street.\nJust one thought: I wonder what quality the \"hundreds of houses\" that were \"swept away\" were?",

        "raw_content": "blog home Child Injuries Keep Your Kids Walking Safely!\nThe first major moment of independence that children experience in life is taking their first steps. Adults tend to take walking for granted, but for toddlers, it\u2019s taking a fundamental step towards self-sufficiency. It is a huge moment, and rightfully celebrated by parents for that very reason.\nHowever, as children continue walking on their journey into adulthood, they make especially vulnerable pedestrians on the road. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: \u201cIn 2015, one in every five children under the age of 15 who were killed in traffic crashes were pedestrians.\u201d The CDC also states that child pedestrian safety is \u201cone of the most complex societal problems we face in injury prevention today.\u201d\nPedestrian Risks for Children\nWalking is a relatively safe activity in and of itself. However, when you count in busy roads with cars and distracted drivers, it becomes risky very quickly. And sadly, children are often victims in pedestrian-related car accidents. Especially in New Jersey, which has a disproportionate number of pedestrian injury crashes and fatalities compared to the rest of the nation. Walking Safely: A Report to the Nation examines 15-year trends in child pedestrian injuries and deaths in the United States. The report showed that \u201cwhile walking safety has improved overall for children since 1995, there are still a staggering number of children hit by cars. More than 61 children are injured every day severely enough to seek medical attention. More than 500 children are killed every year.\u201d\nThroughout the years, many steps have been taken in an attempt to improve child pedestrian safety, such as school zone programs and a government focus on improving child pedestrian danger awareness.\nBut oftentimes, it is up to the parents to ensure that their children get the proper education and guidance in how to stay safe while walking. One thing parents must remember is that kids don\u2019t view traffic in the same way as adults\u2014they cannot judge the distance and speed of vehicles due to the fact that their peripheral vision is two-thirds that of an adult! Teaching kids road safety should be a slow and gradual process. First, parents should try to think like kids. Remember that children get distracted; remember that children\u2019s point of view is at a lower level; take all of this under consideration and begin in safe areas and slowly progress toward roads with more traffic. Start discussing what areas are best for crossing the street, and explain why. Be especially careful at these known dangerous locations in New Jersey.\nIt\u2019s important to remember some basic pedestrian safety tips as we teach our children how to stay safe on the road. Nothing is ever \u201ctoo obvious\u201d to mention to your child out loud. Start with the basics, and continue to drill them in until the basics become second nature.\nHere are some helpful tips to keep in mind while teaching your kids road safety:\nDon\u2019t let your kids run far ahead of you. A momentary distraction could result in a fatal accident.\nHold your child\u2019s hand while crossing the street, and don\u2019t let him or her walk alone until you feel 100% ready for it.\nObey traffic signals, and verbally explain to your kids the importance of crossing the road safely. Don\u2019t assume they will pick up on it without a verbal explanation.\nCross at intersections only. Don\u2019t let your kids pick up bad pedestrian habits from you. Set a good example by always obeying the rules of the road.\nBefore crossing, look left, right, and left again, and listen for traffic.\nTeach your children to always walk on the sidewalk.\nKids often chase after things. Remind them that it\u2019s not safe to chase after a ball or a pet onto the street.\nInsist that your children wear light-colored or reflective clothing at night.\nHaving a child involved in a car accident is nothing short of heartbreaking. Kids make the most vulnerable pedestrians, and sustain the worst injuries due to their small size. As a parent, you want your child to receive the best medical care possible and walk away from the incident stronger than ever, but it costs money. Is the driver who hit your child responsible for covering those costs? Very likely, which is why it\u2019s vital to have a child injury lawyer represent your child\u2019s best interests.\nThe pedestrian attorneys at Lependorf & Silverstein, P.C., have deep experience working with families. As parents ourselves, we know what you\u2019re going through. If your child was injured while walking, let us focus on your case while you focus on your child\u2019s health.

        "title": "What Happens When a Car Hits a Pedestrian? | New Jersey Personal Injury Attorneys",
        "raw_content": "blog home Pedestrian Accident The Science of Car vs. Pedestrian\nAccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2015, 5,376 pedestrians were killed in crashes with motor vehicles, and 70,000 were injured. If you have an inquisitive mind, you may have wondered what exactly happens when a pedestrian is hit by a car. Scientists have been studying the process and mechanics of car accidents for many years in a bid to figure out how to make cars safer and how to reduce pedestrian fatalities.\nSo, what exactly happens during a collision with a car, and how does it affect a human body?\nWhat Happens When a Car Hits a Pedestrian?\nIt can be a terrifying sight to witness a human body being hit by a vehicle, especially a vehicle going at a high speed. There are usually three phases in a car-pedestrian accident: the initial impact, the trajectory, and the ground contact. The distance from the initial point of the hit to the resting place of the pedestrian is known as the \u201cthrow distance.\u201d The higher the speed of the car, the larger the throw distance is.\nIf a pedestrian is standing when a car strikes him head-on, the following will happen:\nInitial impact: The car bumper will hit the leg or the knee joint. The thigh will connect with the edge of the hood. The body contours to the front of the car and is carried.\nThe trajectory: The lower body is thrown forward, and the upper body is thrown relative to the car. The head will hit the hood or windshield, and typically the pedestrian will separate from the car.\nGround contact: The pedestrian will then fall to the ground.\nThe point of contact depends on the height of the car and the height of the pedestrian.\nIn some tragic instances, most often seen with buses or larger vehicles, the pedestrian is knocked down by the crash, and the vehicle rolls over him or her.\nThe Types of Injuries Sustained in a Car-Pedestrian Accident\nMost pedestrians hit by a car are hit on the side as they are crossing the road. Many of these accidents happen when the car is driving at about 25mph or less. The most common injuries are:\nHead injuries: The main cause of pedestrian fatalities. Head injuries can include skull fractures, concussions, hemorrhages, and intracranial swelling. Head injuries often occur when the pedestrian\u2019s head hits the hood of the vehicle, the windshield, or a surrounding hard surface, like the ground.\nLower body injuries: Hip and pelvis fractures, abrasions, torn knee ligaments, and bone fractures are usually sustained when the pedestrian makes contact with the front bumper and the hood, or strikes the ground.\nTorso injuries: These tend to happen with bigger cars, and involve the rib cage, liver, and lungs. Ruptures to the organs can be fatal if not treated immediately.\nThe worst pedestrian injuries are caused by the direct impact with the car, not when the pedestrian falls onto the road. The type and severity of the injuries will usually depend on the following:\nWhere the pedestrian was standing relative to the front of the car\nThe speed of the car\nThe type and shape of car\nThe type of bumper, hood, and windshield\nThe age and height of the pedestrian\nTips to Avoid Getting Hurt During a Crash\nThere is no full-proof method of avoiding an injury when a car crashes into your body. (We wish there was.) And unless you know in advance that you\u2019re about to be hit, it\u2019s hard to prepare for it. Usually, you\u2019re caught completely off-guard, or you see the vehicle a split-second before it strikes you. If you do, there are a few ways that may help you reduce or avoid an injury during a crash. If you can, try to:\nProtect your head: You can heal a broken arm, but a head injury can result in deadly consequences. If you\u2019re about to be hit by a car, do your best to protect your head by covering it with your arms. Position yourself so that the car\u2019s impact does not come close to your head.\nGet on top of the hood: This might sound scary and dangerous, and it is. But it\u2019s still safer than ending up under the tires of a car. When hit by a car, do your best to roll to the top by jumping (obviously do not do this if you are being hit by a truck as it will not work.)\nGo for the glass: New cars have shatter-proof glass, which means it\u2019s safer to hit the windshield because it will absorb the impact.\nStill, the odds that you\u2019ll avoid all injury after being struck by a moving vehicle are slim to none. If this traumatic event happens to you, we strongly recommend speaking to a lawyer. You might be in a world of pain, and have serious medical bills piling up with seemingly no way to pay them.\nYes; you can file a claim against the at-fault driver\u2019s insurance yourself, but in our experience, most people who try to \u201cgo it alone\u201d end up frustrated and disillusioned. It\u2019s better to begin right from the start, and contact a team of dedicated New Jersey pedestrian injury attorneys. Like our team at Lependorf & Silverstein, P.C.\nYou do not need to fight a battle after undergoing a traumatic accident alone. We will hold the parties at fault accountable, and work to get you all the compensation you need and deserve. Contact us at (609) 240-0040 for a free consultation.",

        "title": "A Trusted Advisor - Life Coach Directory",
        "raw_content": "When it comes to giving advice, there is a multitude of people always willing to help. People feel good when they are in a position to help a friend in need overcome a challenge of some kind or other. Parting with information or knowledge from their own experiences, we make the assumption that if it worked for us, it is more than good enough for those in need.\nBut have we really considered what the other person is really telling us? In my previous article \u2018Learning to Listen with Influence\u2019, I was describing how fully engaging with the other person can stimulate a depth of consciousness that enables the other person to elicit their own answers. But in the frenetic pace of modern society people are hard pushed for time, so therefore with the best intentions we part with our own valuable experiences and knowledge and expect that person\u2019s dilemma to be solved.\nBut that is just plain arrogant. It may come across as a noble act of helping another person, but what it is really saying is that I am superior to you and that means you should listen to what I say. Or on the flip side it is saying you don\u2019t know what to do, but as I have the answers then I am right.\nThis is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. It is a selfish quick fix attempt to look as if you are trying help but in reality you are giving yourself that feel good factor because you believe you are right.\nNow making a recommendation to consider an alternative to what they may have already tried or considered is a different story. This is enabling someone to take responsibility for their own outcomes by researching into others solutions rather than being blindly informed of a certain course of action to take.\nHave you ever had anyone come to see you a few days, weeks or months later complaining that what you insisted they do proved to be a red herring or worst still, a complete disaster? Your response is no doubt angry, defensive and devoid of any kind of responsibility. Defensive utterances such as \u201cI was only trying to help\u201d or \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to do what I said\u201d are common.\nWhen receiving advice from other people it is also our responsibility to take our own level of consciousness to a higher level and scrutinise what is being shared. In fact it is crucial. If everyone is that naive to take everything that is said as the gospel truth then we can lead ourselves down some paths that could prove difficult to rectify if unchallenged.\nIt is not rude or ungrateful to challenge what someone else is trying to share with us. It is having total respect for their model of the world and more importantly your own model as you share the same territory but how you experience it is completely different. This also helps you to pull out aspects of their solution to see how it could match with your dilemma. Think about how much more they will be learning and reconfiguring their understanding of what they might be sharing with you as they may part this advice on more than one occasion.\nNow taking this advice sharing to another level, how about asking questions about this person\u2019s dilemma before even uttering any form of advice? This is where you stimulate the person\u2019s cognition and level of focus into finding their own answer. I am not talking about random questions that get the person to regurgitate their problem for the umpteenth time. I mean questions that force the person momentarily to pause before they answer and drawing out hidden information that has lay dormant and redundant until now.\nThis is the role of a trusted advisor. To emphatically commit to the other person\u2019s welfare and well-being and give that person's interest your total focus. Anything short of this then you are playing a short hand that ultimately minimises your effectiveness to influence and create the bonds of a nourishing and long term relationship.\nThere are many skills and qualities required to be a trusted advisor that require years to mature and harness in the most effective ways. The first step to fulfilling this role is to have an intimate understanding of yourself and human temperament. The raising of your awareness of your self-image, your quality of character and how you perform in certain situations puts you in a truly remarkable position to adapt your response and reactions to others and what life throws at you.\nHaving this knowledge of self enables you to be more considerate of the needs of others and more thoughtful when parting with any advice. Realising that we experience the world in many different ways helps you to adapt your guidance in a way that ensures that those in need take the responsibility to look at the big picture rather than jumping onto the first possible solution. This will then evoke a feeling of ownership of the actions implemented giving that person freedom to make more crucial decisions when evaluating their situation.\nAnd for you, not only do you get the opportunity to tell them \u201cI told you so\u201d when they ignore your attempts to expand their selection of options. You develop that level of trust that gets them making you the \u2018go to person\u2019 for advice and guidance. Indeed a very valuable position to be in.\nYour Festive Gift to Yourself: \u2018Me Time\u2019 Leading yourself to getting what you want requires a new level of consciousness",

Truth be told, I never really got the idea of meeting at a friends house and then playing game night so when I was invited to a Game Night at the newly opened store in Greenwich Kanlaon, I was a little hesitant. However, I decided to give it a go and see what the fuss is about.\nWe played Resistance and it is a game where judgement, ability to lie and act is all a must. Initially, I did not get it but when I did, boy was I on game mode on. In fact, I am planning to buy this game and make my friends try it as well as my family because it was so much fun.\nNow of course when you gather people around for a game, energies are spent and so we were lucky that Greenwich decided to provide us with pizza, pasta, fried chicken, and BEER. This is going to be available in the Kanlaon branch starting July 2015.\nGame night at Greenwich was pure fun. I can't wait to organize my own and indulge in Greenwich Crispy Thins and Fried Chicken.

Almost seventy years later, a new production of When the Curtain Falls arrives at the theatre, bringing with it Oscar Bright and Olive Green and their budding romance.

Otherwise, I try to accept everytime I get an invitation from a friend with a pontoon boat, as they are lots easier to get on and off of. One of those might be in our future, too.\nI use the Internet a LOT. I\u2019ve taken up genealogy and am having fantastic results; I\u2019ve traced my paternal line back to the 1600\u2019s. There are some great online classes for people who are into genealogy. They provide insight on resources that beginner and intermediate genealogists may never have considered. I\u2019m going to be taking one of these classes in the Spring; it focuses on Scottish genealogy and is offered by the U. of Dundee.\nMy husband and I are brushing off the chessboard. I used to play with my stepkids when they were younger, but have never played with my husband. As fierce \u2018Words With Friends\u2019 opponents, this should be interesting, lol.\nFor those who love gardening but can\u2019t kneel, bend, stoop or get up off the ground; try straw bale gardening! A google search will explain it; better yet, do a search on Pinterest since a picture is worth a thousand words. It is simple, inexpensive and great for us OPMD\u2019ers. It provides an instant raised bed, so to speak, and requires very little work or expense to get started. You can grow vegetables or flowers. We are doing it for the first time this Spring.\nWe have also found someone who will \u201crent\u201d bees and the things you need for them from April to November. We plan on setting them up on a cheap table I picked up at an auction so that they will be easily accessible to me, and not on the ground. All we have to do is share the honey with the person we rent from, and this way we don\u2019t have to worry about bee loss or feeding them during the cold, snowy winter months.\nGo swimming! Most YMCA\u2019s or even local high schools with pools have hydraulic lifts for people who can\u2019t use the stairs to get in and out of the pool. Once you are in the water, you will feel as though OPMD is a figment of your imagination because you are FREE of any leg weakness limitations! It is a fantastic feeling, and even if you don\u2019t engage in classes and just doggie paddle around for an hour, holding onto the side of the pool, its a great workout.\nI owned horses all of my life and haven\u2019t been riding in a while. But one of our local stables has a handicapped riding program. While I don\u2019t need the program itself, being able to use their ramped mounting blocks will allow me to get on a horse and ride again. All I have to do is make sure I stay on the horse, because it would be a long walk back for both of us if I couldn\u2019t get back up in the saddle, lol.\nI\u2019d love to hear from others and share ideas of how we can still have fun!\nFebruary 9, 2015 8:58 AM MST\nI found your post on having fun so inspirational.! I plan to try and start making a list of things I\u2019d like to start doing ! Thanks !\nLet me know what you come up with, jonana. The more ideas and inspiration we can get from one another, the better!\nMarch 27, 2015 2:04 PM MDT\nWhat do you look forward to with the warmer weather right around the corner?\nI\u2019ve had to give up gardening, because my legs aren\u2019t strong enough to bend, kneel, squat or get up off the ground. But my husband and I learned about straw bale gardening this winter and we\u2019re going to give it a try!\nWhile it was not initially developed for people with disabilities, it turns out that is just PERFECT for us! You can even stack the bales two high if one bale isn\u2019t high enough.\nSince a picture is worth a thousand words, here is a link so you can see how it works:\nDallas News \u2013 25 Mar 15\nStraw bales revolutionize gardening\nMany gardeners are skeptical, but properly prepared straw bales can substitute for soil.\nand for more info \u2014\nhttp://strawbalegardens.com/\nJust google straw bale gardening; there are a zillion articles to help get you started and its CHEAP and EASY!!\nHere in Florida when summer arrives we do indoor projects ! Have a few pots with vegetables! Then off to beach to cool off !\nMy husband and I are retiring to southern Alabama. We plan to spend summers in Wisconsin, where it rarely gets above 80 degrees and is not humid.\nI have quite a few Chickens. Though, my wife hates them, as I can\u2019t care for them on my own, and threatens to get rid of them. Good thing she likes my GSD. I used to enjoy taking care of them, building coops, cleaning them out. I built them, so I didn\u2019t have to hunch over. Building, cleaning, and caring is not gone, which is probably the major reason my wife resents them. So, message boards, creative writing on my own time. Though, I find that I get lost in writing, and after sitting for too long, I feel like my lower body hurts. But, it is a great escape to create. I used to paint and draw as well. That would be a little rough to do now I suspect.\nI used to enjoy hatching my own eggs, and watching new life peep into existence. This time of year we get an abundance of eggs, and with the salmanila commercial egg epidemic, it feels good to know where your eggs come from. I suspect if it is not raining next Sunday, she will expect me to cull some roosters. It is hard work from start to finish. If I do two in a day by myself, I am in agony for a couple of days after. I have been trying to teach my son. But, he still gets worried about removing the innards and contaminating the meat. But, there is no flavor like the birds you raise yourself. The birds in the supermarket are like cardboard in comparison. If you chill the meat for a day, and then let it slow cook in the crock pot, you get little pieces that fall off the bone and are easier to eat. The rest turns into Chicken Noodle Soup if someone is feeling ill.",

        "raw_content": "Diocese launches Year of Opportunity\nParishioners across the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe converged on Letterkenny on Friday evening for a special event to celebrate the Diocese\u2019s \u2018Year of Opportunity 2016\u2019.\nJoined by leaders of other Christian churches in the north west, among the highlights was a video message from the Bishop of Butere, Kenya, whose first Christian church was established by a missionary from Derry and Raphoe one hundred years ago this year.\nIn his video message Bishop of Butere, Tim Wambunye, thanked Derry and Raphoe for its generosity towards his diocese. His film showed the financial difficulties experienced by his clergy as they minister to a growing diocese of around 30,000 members.\nBishop Good told the audience that a Confirmation Group in Macosquin had undertaken to raise \u00a31,000 by May 15, which will provide a cow for one of the parishes in Kenya.\nThe prayers and hymns were augmented by the contribution from local piper Billy Doherty.\nThis year, 2016, has been designated a \u2018Year of Opportunity\u2019 in Derry and Raphoe, with a special focus on mission, children and generosity. Bishop Ken Good told those gathered in Letterkenny Institute of Technology that they were embarking on this year \u201cnot out of a sense of duty or as a burden or an inconvenience, but with a sense of gratitude, of love and of thanksgiving in joyful response to what God has first done for us.\u201d\nQuoting statistics from the 2013 Church of Ireland Census, Bishop Good said 80 per cent of Church of Ireland people chose not to be in church on Sunday mornings and it represented a real spiritual and missional challenge.\n\u201cThis Year of Opportunity is about taking the 80 per cent census statistic seriously,\u201d he said.\n\u201cIt\u2019s about believing that God has a future and a hope for his church and we want to get involved in seeing things change. Before God we are acknowledging that mission really matters.\u201d\nThe Bishop also outlined creative plans the parish teams had come up with to reach out and make connections with people during the year, including a parable pageant, wedding dress festivals, a Mission Week, Walks of Witness, a flute band event, village nativity event and a Bible Reading Marathon.\n\u201cChange and growth happens one life at a time, one person at a time, one step at a time, one spiritual encounter at a time,\u201d the Bishop said.\nFriday night\u2019s celebration event saw the first copies of a new booklet, produced by the Diocese, being distributed. \u2018One More Step\u2019 recounts the faith journeys of nine members of the Derry and Raphoe Diocese and is intended to be used as a prayer resource in parishes. A free copy was given to those present and distributed to parish teams.\nThe theme of the event was \u2018light\u2019 and as the evening ended people were invited to switch on electronic tea-lights to symbolise their commitment to the Year of Opportunity.\nBishop Good said the Year of Opportunity 2016 was about members of parishes all over the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe \u201cbeing the light of the world, making a positive difference in Transforming Community and Radiating Christ, as we let our little light shine.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "The terms of a construction contract should be specific and explicit. The obligations of each party to the agreement and the terms of payment should be clearly spelled out. Once the contract has been signed by both parties, it may not be changed without each parties' approval or a court order. Most successful businesses take the opportunity to protect their own interests when establishing a new agreement with a contractor.\nThe person paying for the contracting services should also be aware of any additional fees beyond the agreed-upon payment. The method of payment, whether it be installments or a lump sum, should also be stated in the contrac. The contract may also establish whether or not there are any penalties for late payments. Parties who are struggling to agree on the final terms often consider entering an interim agreement while negotiations continue.\nPeople who need more information about construction contracts might benefit from contacting legal counsel. Lawyers may be effective in examining the contract for any terms or provisions that may be detrimental to the client's long-term interests. Legal counsel may also be able to assist clients in negotiating for more favorable terms or for a modification of existing terms.\nSource: FindLaw, \"Ten Things to Think About Before Signing a Construction Contract\", accessed on 1/10/2015",

You're making dinner, looking forward to hearing about his day. That's the last thing you remember. You wake up in hospital, with no idea how you got there. They tell you that you were in an accident; you lost control of your car whilst driving in a dangerous part of town. The police suspect you were up to no good. But your husband refuses to believe it.

But now they're in your home, and who knows what they'll find there. What would you be capable of, when pushed past your limit? How well do we ever know those around us?

        "raw_content": "Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has purged more than 800 accounts and pages for pushing politically oriented content that violated the company\u2019s spam policies. Facebook said it had identified 559 pages and 251 accounts run by Americans that would be removed for amplifying false and misleading content. Facebook said it was not removing the publishers and accounts because of the type of content they posted.\nThe company said it had discovered the activity because the pages had become more aggressive in using tactics to make themselves appear more popular. Some of the accounts were flagged for spamming Facebook groups with identical pieces of content and using fake profiles. A conservative news site called Right Wing News had created a series of new Facebook pages and accounts under many different names over the last year.\nSome of the removed pages and accounts had hundreds of thousands of followers. One of the pages, titled Nation In Distress, had over 3 million followers. Another, called Reverb Press, had over 700,000 followers. Reverb Press\u2019s logo on its Facebook page shows that it has been verified by the social network.\nAccording to company officials, the pages and accounts did not appear to have ties to Russia. The accounts and pages likely belong to domestic actors using clickbait headlines and other spamming tactics. Russian operatives used Facebook to target American voters ahead of the 2016 US presidential election. Now, domestic sites are directly emulating the Russian playbook of 2016.\nNathaniel Gleicher, Facebook\u2019s head of security, said that many of the domestic organizations probably had financial motivations for spreading disinformation. Gleicher said, \u201cToday, sensational political content seems to be a more effective way for people to build an audience for their Pages and drive traffic to their websites, which earn them money for every visitor to the site.\u201d\nThe move to target American politically oriented sites comes mere weeks before the congressional midterm elections. Facebook has been under immense pressure to crack down on content that could disrupt the democratic process and has become a flashpoint for political groups and their allies. Some are now accusing Facebook of political censorship.",

        "raw_content": "Frederick William LUMSDEN\nVC CB DSO\nDied: 4th June 1918 - Age: 45\nMemorial . Berles New Military Cemetery III. D. 1.\nHis memorial, unveiled on 25th July 1920, stands outside the Royal Marines Museum at Eastney. At the age of forty four, Frederick William Lumsden was the oldest Royal Marine to be awarded the Victoria Cross (VC). Born on 14 December 1872, he joined the Royal Marine Artillery as a Second Lieutenant on 1 September 1890. After service afloat he returned to attended Staff College, specialising in signalling, gunnery, and musketry. He graduated in 1907 and went to Germany where he studied the language for six months to obtain a First Class Interpreters Certificate. In 1915, he was appointed to command the Royal Marine Artillery Howitzer Brigade, that consisting of twelve 15? howitzers, but whilst in France he took up an appointment as General Staff Officer on the First Army staff. On 2 April 1917 as part of a general attack of 14th Brigade against the Germans in the Holnon Wood sector, the 2nd Battalion Manchester Regiment captured a battery of six M1916 77mm field guns, south east of Francilly, but had suffered fifty-percent casualties and could not hold or remove the guns. The German retreat managed to evacuate the remaining artillery in the area, with the exception of this battery. On the night of 3 April Major Lumsden was placed in charge of a party from the 15th Highland Light Infantry and some Royal Artillery gunners with limbers and horses, to bring in the guns. Personally leading three sorties under barrage and machine gun fire, he successfully brought back all the guns, having to drive the Germans back from recapturing the final gun in the process. For his bravery and devotion to duty he was awarded the VC on 8 June 1917 that he received from King George V the following month. Just under a year later he was shot through the head in a forward trench and is now buried in Berles New Military Cemetery, France. Quite apart from the bravery recognised for his VC, Major Lumsden also earned the Distinguished Service Order with three bars before his death. On 25th July 1920 the memorial to Brigadier General Lumsden was unveiled at Eastney, and is now in the Museums? memorial garden. The Museum purchased the medals in April 1973. An extract from The London Gazette, No. 30122, dated 8th June, 1917, records the following:-For most conspicuous bravery, determination and devotion to duty. Six enemy field guns having been captured, it was necessary to leave them in dug-in positions, 300 yards in advance of the position held by our troops. The enemy kept the captured guns under heavy fire. Maj. Lumsden undertook the duty of bringing the guns into our lines. In order to effect this, he personally led four artillery teams and a party of infantry through the hostile barrage. As one of these teams sustained casualties, he left the remaining teams in a covered position, and, through very heavy rifle, machine gun and shrapnel fire, led the infantry to the guns. By force of example and inspiring energy he succeeded in sending back two teams with guns, going through the barrage with the teams of the third gun. He then returned to the guns to await further teams, and these he succeeded in attaching to two of the three remaining guns, despite rifle fire, which had become intense at short range, and removed the guns to safety. By this time the enemy, in considerable strength, had driven through the infantry covering points, and blown up the breach of the remaining gun. Maj. Lumsden then returned, drove off the enemy, attached the gun to a team and got it away.\nSon of the late James Foot Lumsden (Indian Civil Service); husband of M. E. A. Lumsden, of Hampton Court Palace, Middlesex\nAction :\u2003France & Flanders\nFrance & Flanders covers all the dates and corresponding locations which are outside the official battle nomenclature dates on the Western Front. Therefore the actions in which these men died could be considered 'normal' trench duty - the daily attrition losses which were an everyday fact of duty on the Western Front.",

        "raw_content": "As Massachusetts state Senator, Scott Brown reached across party lines on some issues, toed Republican line on others\nThe Republican file photo | Then-State Sen. Scott Brown responds to a question at a forum in Amherst, while he was running for Edward Kennedy's U.S. Senate seat in November 2009.\nMore in-depth political coverage\nBankruptcies of Solyndra, Konarka highlight debate over government investment in alternative energy\nSmall businesses in Massachusetts see little difference between Romney's health care overhaul and Obama's\nSen. Scott Brown is a pro-choice Republican, but pro-choice groups remain wary\nMitt Romney's tenure as Mormon Church leader gives clues to his ability to relate to average people\nBOSTON \u2014 In 2005, when the Massachusetts Legislature was considering a bill allowing embryonic stem cell research, Democratic Senate President Robert Travaglini received a visit from rookie Republican state senator Scott Brown.\n\u201cHe initiated a visit in my office, and offered his support in return for some minor modification, the inclusion of an amendment he felt strongly about,\u201d Travaglini recalled. \u201cHe brought on some Republican votes that were instrumental in overriding some vetoes of the administration.\u201d\nBrown\u2019s campaign said Brown got language included in the bill establishing a umbilical cord blood and placental tissue bank at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center \u2013 cord blood being a source of adult stem cells that does not require living embryos.\nThen-Republican Gov. Mitt Romney \u2013 now the Republican presidential nominee \u2013 vetoed the bill. Romney, according to Boston Globe accounts, supported the use of embryos that would be discarded anyway, but opposed the use of embryos produced for research. The Senate, by a 35-2 vote, and the House, 112-42, overrode the veto.\nThe vote in some ways was an exception for Brown, who frequently supported Romney and who generally maintained conservative views on social issues, as well as on tax-related fiscal issues. But it points to Brown\u2019s ability to reach across party lines to get things accomplished in a state Senate with a tiny Republican minority. Brown\u2019s bipartisanship is something he talks about frequently on the campaign trail as he runs for reelection to the U.S. Senate against Democrat Elizabeth Warren. Democratic and Republican state legislators say unlike in the U.S. Congress, bipartisanship is a requirement for a Republican member of the Massachusetts Senate. Brown frequently worked with Democrats on issues he was passionate about \u2013 assistance for veterans, protection for children and victims of sexual abuse and funding of a program allowing inner-city students to be educated at suburban schools.\n\u201cScott was someone who occasionally went out of his way to be helpful,\u201d said Travaglini, who has not endorsed in the U.S. Senate race. \u201cThere were instances where Scott and others realized they weren\u2019t a very formidable force in the body at the time, and he did demonstrate on more than one occasion a willingness to cooperate with the majority of Democrats in the body when it benefited the citizens of the Commonwealth.\u201d\nBrown declined to comment for this story.\nRepublicans accounted for four to six of the 40 senators during Brown\u2019s time there, from 2004 to 2010 \u2013 a group that called themselves the \u201cband of brothers,\u201d said Westfield Republican Sen. Michael Knapik.\nAs a National Guard member, many of Brown\u2019s initiatives were to help veterans. Bills he sponsored would have eased the trade licensing process for veterans; expanded the definition of veteran to eliminate a requirement for wartime service; given additional retirement benefits to public employees who are veterans; and given certain tax benefits to veterans. He championed a bipartisan bill \u2013 which became law \u2013 putting a check box on income tax forms that made it easier for returning veterans to claim a $500 to $1,000 \u201cwelcome home bonus\u201d they were entitled to under state law.\n12.09.2009 | The Republican file photo by Don Treeger | Holyoke -- State Sen. Scott P. Brown, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, takes a tour of the Universal Plastics facility on Whiting Farms Road in Holyoke. Left to right are State Sen. Michael R. Knapik, R-Westfield, Universal Plastics President Joseph L. Peters and Brown.\nBrown served on a bipartisan panel that recommended an expansion of veteran and military benefits \u2013 tuition breaks, trade license extensions, and changes in unemployment benefits and property tax rules, the State House News Service reported.\n\u201cHe volunteered to be on this committee,\u201d said Thomas Kelley, then-secretary of the Massachusetts Department of Veterans\u2019 Services and a Brown supporter. \u201cThat gave him an opportunity to keep a close eye on veterans\u2019 issues, to push hard for them. That was a very personal thing.\u201d Kelley said Brown worked with Romney to get signed into law a Welcome Home bill providing benefits for returning veterans; an expansion of the definition of veterans; and annual budgetary provisions helping veterans.\n\u201cHe was the only active military person in the state Senate at the time, so people looked to him for leadership on that issue,\u201d said Hampden Superior Court Clerk Brian Lees, a former Republican Senate Minority leader.\nAnother personal issue for Brown was sexual abuse of children. In his 2011 book, Brown revealed that he was sexually molested as a child by a camp counselor.\nIn the state Senate, Brown filed a bill with then-Rep. James Vallee, a Franklin Democrat who chaired the Criminal Justice Committee, and worked with lawmakers of both parties to eliminate the statute of limitations on criminal prosecutions for sexual assault and child sexual abuse cases. Another bill Vallee, Brown and others worked on tried to tighten requirements for monitoring sex offenders. Brown filed bills allowing minor victims to request copies of sealed records relating to their sexual abuse cases; and eliminating some protection from liability for charitable organizations implicated in child sexual abuse cases. He advocated for \u201cJessica\u2019s law,\u201d a bill imposing mandatory sentences for sex crimes against children.\nThe State House News Service reported in 2006 that Brown and Walpole Democratic Sen. James Timilty took the unusual step of asking the Senate to reconvene after ending its formal session to act on a bill extending from 15 to 27 years the reporting period for victims of underage sexual abuse, requiring more sex offenders to wear tracking devices, adding penalties for sex offenders who fail to register and tightening other laws. A similar bill was signed into law, and Brown was among the bipartisan group of lawmakers who attended the bill-signing.\nTimilty, who has known Brown since the 1990s and is neutral in the Senate race, said Brown was a \u201cno-nonsense, good government kind of guy.\u201d Timilty, who chaired the public safety committee, said Brown worked with him on issues such as overhauling the state\u2019s 911 system and getting defibrillators put on MBTA trains. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t partisan at all,\u201d Timilty said.\nVallee, a close friend of Brown\u2019s who served with him in the National Guard and supports his Senate campaign, said he recalls working with Brown on bills related to curbing drunk driving and other criminal justice laws. \u201cHe\u2019s an easy guy to build consensus with,\u201d Vallee said.\nBrown was also a strong advocate for increased funding for METCO (Metropolitan Council For Educational Opportunity), a program that sends students from urban neighborhoods to suburban schools.\nOn the other hand, on tax and fiscal issues, Brown was generally a loyal Republican. Among the bills Brown sponsored were bills repealing a nursing home tax; limiting the frequency with which local communities could override proposition 2 \u00bd, the Massachusetts law limiting property tax increases; and lowering the income tax rate from 5.3 percent to 5 percent. Brown supported Romney\u2019s attempts to abolish a retroactive capital gains tax in 2005, and joined Republicans in opposing a package of tax increases during a debate over the 2010 budget. Chip Faulkner, associate director of Citizens for Limited Taxation, an anti-tax group that typically favors Republicans, said Brown had a 93 percent rating with the group during his last full term in office.\n\u201cOn the big issues that came up as far as spending, taxes, reforming state government, Scott was a very vocal and active participant in the state Senate,\u201d said former Senate Minority Leader Richard Tisei, a Republican now running for Congress. \u201cWhen we were fighting against [Democratic] Gov. [Deval] Patrick\u2019s sales tax increase and other tax increases that were brought up, Scott was very active and adamant in leading the fight against it.\u201d\nBrown often voted with the minority to sustain Romney\u2019s budget vetoes, sometimes on items as small as a $100,000 line item for drinking water programs. The non-partisan Politifact found that Brown voted with the state Senate minority leader 90 percent of the time.\nKnapik said Brown joined Republicans on fiscal issues in the role \u201cof challenging the status quo.\u201d\nBrown also voted with Romney in favor of Romney\u2019s 2006 landmark health care reform bill. When Romney vetoed a penalty assessment on companies that do not contribute to employees\u2019 health insurance and a provision restoring dental benefits for adults on Medicaid, Brown joined with all six Senate Republicans voting against the penalty assessment override, and was one of just two votes opposing an override on dental benefits.\nBrown also generally took a conservative position on social issues. \u201cHe was on the more conservative end of the spectrum here among the Republicans in the Senate,\u201d said Amherst Democrat Stanley Rosenberg, Senate president pro tempore and a Warren supporter.\nBrown voted for a 2004 constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. In 2007, he was one of five senators to favor putting a gay marriage ban on the ballot. When Romney vetoed the creation of an independent Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, Brown was the only senator voting to uphold his veto. Brown was one of two senators voting to uphold a Romney veto on a provision setting aside money to ensure schools are complying with Department of Education recommendations supporting gay youth. (Romney said that was an executive, not a legislative function.)\nAfter Massachusetts voters voted to decriminalize possession of small amount of marijuana, Brown tried to impose a $1,000 fine and a license suspension on anyone caught with marijuana in a car. With other Republicans, Brown sponsored a 2005 bill requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls.\nSteve Baddour\nIt can be difficult to analyze the effectiveness of a member of the minority party. According to a legislative database, only two of approximately 160 bills for which Brown was the prime sponsor were signed into law, both on minor, local matters. But frequently, Republican proposals that become law in Massachusetts do so only after being attached to a Democratic bill. Former Sen. Steven Baddour, a Democrat who is neutral in the Senate race and is now a partner at the law firm McDermott Will & Emery, said Brown would often work behind the scenes trying to \u201cget the bill to be more middle of the road, as opposed to leaning left or leaning right,\u201d to make a bill palatable to Republicans in a way Democrats would agree to.\nOverall, Brown had a reputation as a collegial senator. \u201cHe was not a fire breather. He more or less got along with the general population,\u201d said Fred Bayles, director of the Boston University College of Communication\u2019s State House Program. Bayles said in Brown\u2019s record, there was \u201cnothing that stood out as either extremely partisan or extremely bipartisan. He fit in to the rest of the very small Senate minority.\u201d\nLees said Brown was \u201calways willing to listen, learn and work with everyone, whether it be Republicans or Democrats or individuals from the outside.\u201d\nRosenberg said bipartisanship was inevitable. \u201cWhen a very small number of people are in the minority party, it\u2019s hard to build up much of a track record,\u201d Rosenberg said. \u201cThe only way you get anything done is by reaching across party lines.\u201d\nStaff reporter Dan Ring contributed to this story.",

        "raw_content": "Some leaders said that development should be restricted \u2014 or even banned \u2014 along the state\u2019s coast and in lowland areas prone to flooding. Several suggested buying out local residents and relocating populations to safer areas before the next mega-storm strikes.\n\u201cIn the past two years North Carolina has had two 500 year storms in Matthew and Florence, so it\u2019s not a matter of if, it\u2019s a matter of when,\u201d said Mark Jewell, president of the N.C. Association of Educators.\nThe entire group of 60 Influencers in the series includes former governors, university presidents, corporate executives, nonprofit leaders, economic developers, philanthropists, chefs and authors. In past surveys, they have addressed such issues as health care, Confederate monuments, education, voter ID and gerrymandering.\nOn the question of man-made climate change, all but two respondents said they believe it is real: Paul Valone, president of Grass Roots North Carolina, and Larry Wooten, president of the N.C. Farm Bureau, though Wooten hedged his bets on the issue.\n\u201cThere is room for debate on whether climate change is man-made or a natural occurrence or a combination of both,\u201d said Wooten, a Democrat. \u201cWhat cannot be debated, and farmers across the world agree, is that the climate is changing.\u201d\nValone, a Republican, didn\u2019t mince his words, dismissing climate change as a hoax.\n\u201cWhatever \u2018consensus\u2019 exists on climate change has been the result of politically-motivated faux research,\u201d Valone said. \u201cNo methodologically sound scientific study has yet demonstrated that climate change, if it is occurring at all, results from man-made factors.\u201d\nRising ocean temperatures have fueled some of the most devastating storms in recent years.\nRichard Vinroot, a lawyer and Charlotte mayor in the 1990s, believes humans are likely contributors to climate change, but said little can be done to protect residents from coastal flooding other than increasing the distances between homes and waterways.\nFrom many of the Influencers, however, solutions poured out. Some suggested now is the time to double down on solar power, wind energy and mass transit to limit carbon emissions. Other suggestions ranged from facing reality and restricting new development, to embarking on a comprehensive network of flood controls.\n\u201cThe truth is,\u201d said Sallie Shuping Russell, former managing director of BlackRock Private Equity Partners, \u201ca lot of these areas are low-lying and are going to flood.\u201d\nMark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo in Charlotte, said that \u201cNorth Carolina should discourage development along flood plains and invest in levies and other flood mitigation systems.\u201d\nWalter Dalton, the state\u2019s Lt. Governor from 2009 to 2013, and now president of Isothermal Community College in Spindale, believes we need \u201celevated structures, permeable surfaces, protection of marsh land.\u201d\nFormer Democratic Gov. Mike Easley is among those who endorses a \u201crelocation effort,\u201d especially for people living in \u201cimpoverished areas.\u201d\nDuke University law professor James Coleman, said North Carolina should learn from the experience of other societies on what it takes to become flood-proof.\n\u201cIt makes no sense to continue to build on land that predictably will be flooded on a regular basis, requiring us to incur substantial public expenses to rebuild\u201d said Coleman, who is also director of the Center for Criminal Justice and Professional Responsibility, and co-director of the Wrongful Convictions Clinic at Duke.\n\u201cWe also should learn from what other countries are doing,\u201d Coleman said. \u201cThe Dutch rarely have flooding because they have incorporated flood control in their development projects. Every coastal community should be incorporating such features in their plans.\u201d\nHurricane floodwater often harbors harmful bacteria, most notably Vibrio vulnificus. If contracted, it can lead to serious infection or death.\nThe survey respondents also expressed concern about the environmental risks posed by coal ash ponds and hog waste lagoons, some of which were flooded and breached during the flooding. Several hundred hog lagoons prone to flooding have been shut down in past years, but the realization after Hurricane Florence that North Carolina\u2019s flood risks have been underestimated is raising questions about the long-term risk that hog lagoons pose.\nThe N.C. Department of Environmental Quality has not said to what extent the hog lagoons polluted state waters, but said six sustained structural damage, 32 overflowed and 48 were within 3 inches of overflowing. North Carolina has 3,300 lagoons, in which swine urine and feces are broken down by microbes, producing a treated material that is used as spray fertilizer.\nWooten of the Farm Bureau noted that farmers worked around the clock ahead of the hurricane to pump and prepare their lagoons. \u201cOur farmers should be commended instead of questioned for the excellent job they performed in preventing loss of animals and environmental damage,\u201d he said.\nSo far 4.1 million chickens and turkeys, and 5,500 hogs are dead in North Carolina from Hurricane Florence wind and floods. The numbers are expected to increase this week. The livestock death toll doubles that of Hurricane Matthew in 2016.\nAs for coal ash, Duke Energy is in the midst of a 15-year, $5-billion project in which it\u2019s excavating 22 basins and moving the ash to lined landfills. It\u2019s also securing nine other basins by capping them off. The vast majority of the respondents praised Duke Energy\u2019s efforts to relocate or stabilize the ash it has accumulated over decades of burning coal to generate electricity.\nLynn Good, the CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy, said the company has already moved 18 million tons of ash to lined landfills and is recycling 70 percent of the ash, which contains heavy metals such as arsenic and selenium, for use in construction materials.\nThe N.C. Department of Environmental Quality said last week that two of Duke\u2019s coal ash storage ponds flooded during Hurricane Florence, but that the flooding in the Neuse River in Goldsboro and the Cape Fear River in Wilmington did not contaminate public waters.\nGood is not the only Influencer who has links to Duke Energy. Former Republican Governor Pat McCrory, who worked at Duke nearly two decades, offered a reminder of why Duke is under a state legislative mandate to address its coal ash problem.\n\u201cDuke needs to improve fixing leaks with a sense of urgency at numerous sites,\u201d McCrory wrote.\nThis is the latest in a series of surveys The News & Observer, The Charlotte Observer and The Herald-Sun is conducting with the Influencers through the November elections to help focus media and candidate discussion around the policy issues of most importance to North Carolinians.

Participants self-monitored their food intake throughout the intervention, which lasted for a mean of 8.1 years.\nThe women on the usual diet were sent the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, but had no contact with the nutrition interventionists and were not asked to self-monitor or make specific dietary changes.\nBlood pressure, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides were assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, and 6 years after randomization.\nAs reported in Metabolism, linear regression analysis that simultaneously modeled the five risk components showed that following the intervention diet was significantly associated with a reduced risk for the metabolic syndrome at 1 year, but not at 3 and 6 years.\nWhen analyses were restricted to only women who adhered to the intervention (attended \u22659 sessions in year 1 and \u22652 in subsequent years), the overall intervention effect remained highly statistically significant at 1 year and was of borderline significance at 3 and 6 years.\nFurthermore, the researchers found that at year 1, women on the intervention versus usual diet were a significant 19% less likely to use cholesterol-lowering or antihypertensive medications.\n\"If confirmed using long-term data then the findings\u2026 will have important and relevant translational potential,\" conclude the researchers.",

        "title": "Elderly Financial Fraud - Members Cooperative Credit Union",
        "raw_content": "Financial Scams Against Seniors\nFinancial fraud is the fastest growing form of elder abuse. Protect yourself or your loved ones from financial elder abuse by becoming familiar with the most common scams and learning what to do if you suspect foul play.\nAccording to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), the top 10 scams targeting seniors include the following:\n10 Most Common Scams Targeting Seniors\n1. Medicare/health insurance scams\nIn scams involving Medicare, fraudsters pose as a Medicare representatives to get seniors to give them their personal information. The fraudster will then use this information to bill Medicare for fraudulent services and then pockets the money.\nAs prices for prescription drugs increase, seniors look to the internet to find cheaper prices for their medications. Unfortunately, fraudsters are aware of this and set up websites that advertise cheap prescription drugs which are usually counterfeit. Seniors who unknowingly purchase these counterfeit drugs soon realize they have been duped when the drugs do not provide any relief for their medical condition or even cause additional health problems.\nIn one type of funeral scheme, fraudsters use obituaries to find out information about the deceased in an attempt to extort money from family members or grieving spouses. They claim the deceased has an outstanding debt that must be paid immediately. Those close to the deceased are usually in a vulnerable state and are more likely to pay the fraudulent debt. In another scheme, dishonest funeral directors might try to deceive the elderly by capitalizing on their unfamiliarity of funeral costs and sell them unnecessary services, such as a casket when the deceased is going to be cremated.\n4. Fraudulent anti-aging products\nWith society putting so much emphasis on physical appearance, many individuals feel the need to find treatments or products that claim to help them conceal their age. Scammers advertise anti-aging products that are either worthless or harmful. Some products might contain materials that can be harmful, yet touted by scammers as being as effective as a brand name product, such as Botox. Scammers might also advertise products as being effective and natural, but in reality the product has no anti-aging effects.\n5. Telemarketing/phone scams\nPhone scams are the most common scams used against the elderly. Scammers try to get seniors to wire or send them money by claiming to be a family member who is in trouble and needs money. They might also solicit money from the elderly by posing as a fake charity, especially after a natural disaster.\nSince the elderly are usually not as savvy with handling emails and surfing the internet, they are easy targets for scammers. Victims have been tricked into downloading fake anti-virus software that allows scammers to access personal information on their computers. Seniors might also respond to phishing emails sent by scammers asking them to update their bank or credit card information on a phony website.\nMany seniors plan for retirement or manage their savings after they finish working, which makes them more vulnerable to become victims of investment schemes. Fraudsters can take advantage of victims by posing as financial advisors to get access to their retirement funds and savings. Once they have access to the funds, they take their money and run.\nElderly victims who own their homes can be valuable assets to a scammer. Scammers might send out fraudulent, yet official-looking, letters to victims that list the supposed assessed value of their home. For a fee, the scammers inform them that the value of their home can be reassessed. Scammers might also approach victims about providing home repairs and pressure them to take out equity to use as payment for the repairs.\n9. Sweepstakes and lottery scams\nThis scheme usually involves contacting elderly victims either by mail or telephone, and informing them that they have won a prize of some sort, but must pay a fee to obtain the prize. Scammers send a fake check to the senior to deposit in their bank account knowing it will take some time for the bank to reject the check. Meanwhile, the victim has sent the scammer money through wire transfer for fees or taxes on the prize. The victim soon realizes that he was scammed when the check doesn\u2019t clear.\nThis scam is extremely deceptive because it plays on the elderly\u2019s emotions. In a grandparent scam, a scammer calls an older person and pretends to be their grandchild. They ask them if they know who is calling, and when the grandparent guesses the name of one of their grandchildren, they pretend to be that grandchild. The scammer tells the grandparent that they are in some sort of financial bind and asks if they can send money using Western Union or a MoneyGram to help them out. The scammer asks the grandparent not to tell anyone about their situation. Once the scammer receives the money, he continues to contact the grandparent and asks them to send more money.\nIf you suspect elder financial abuse, don\u2019t be afraid or embarrassed to talk about it with someone you trust. You are not alone, and there are people who can help. Doing nothing could only make it worse.\nTheft should be reported to law enforcement officials, and there are local and state social services agencies in every state to help elderly victims of financial abuse. The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) can point residents in every state to an elder abuse hotline.\nAdditionally, to help with investment issues, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has a toll-free help line (844-57-HELPS, or 844-574-3577) that senior investors can call if they have questions about their brokerage accounts, including statements and individual investments. The hotline is open Monday - Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.\nTags: Security, Financial Scams, Elderly Financial Fraud",

According to Aguaristi, the number belonged to a district attorney who explained to him that a law enforcement officer had killed his dog Samson after it became aggressive with officers and the dog had been removed from the premises.\nThe video from May shows an officer wearing a gun and what appears to be a bulletproof vest approach the door of the house. When the dog comes down off the porch and stands between the officer and the steps, she sprays him with something, which appears to agitate him. He advances on her and she shoots him at least once, the video appears to show.\nOfficers carry the dog away and one of them uses a garden hose to clean up a pool of blood, the video shows. A separate camera catches what appears to be an officer urinating near a fence.\nThere is precedence for cities and counties paying pet owners whose dogs were killed by police. Officials in Santa Clara County, for example, agreed to pay almost $1 million in 2006 to Hells Angels Motorcycle Club members after killing three of their dogs during a raid several years earlier, according to the Associated Press.\nDos Palos resident George Aguaristi, 61, shows a photo of his dog Samson at his home in Dos Palos, Calif., on Thursday, June 21, 2018.

        "raw_content": "Metal detecting sites are everywhere. You just need to open your eyes and pay attention.\nFinding new sites is always a challenge. All of us would like to find that \u201choney hole\u201d that no one else has been to.\nThose areas do exist. However, for most in the hobby they would rather head off to the nearest park or schoolyard, and dig clad coins or an occasional older coin. That\u2019s fine, but then they complain that they are only finding clad coins, and that all the good finds are gone.\nAs you walk around, or when you are driving, observe those areas that are not your most common detecting areas. Those common areas are parks and schoolyards. The uncommon areas to detect are the strips between the sidewalk and the curb. Or the rest areas along roads and highways.\nOld churchyards, and the old, one-room schools that existed a few hundred years ago, are just a few places to search around and are great metal detecting sites. Unfortunately you need to do some research to locate these spots, and they can produce year after year, just for you. It\u2019s the research part where people in this hobby become lazy, so they head for the nearest park.\nHow about the parking spots where fishermen park? Not to mention the shorelines along the creeks and rivers. How about picnic areas? The older the better. You\u2019ll dig lots of trash, but you can also find many coins, and some jewelry.\nMetal Detecting Sites That Offer Great Possibilities\nOld Groves\nOld picnic groves, no longer in use are great metal detecting sites. They are hard to find but well worth the effort. You can find them by doing some research. Start by talking to the older residents of an area. Ask them where they used to picnic with their families when they were children. You can visit the local town historian as well. Sometimes they will know where the old groves were located. If not, go through the old newspapers they have on file. Sometimes these files are stored on microfilm for easier research. Look for articles that mention churches having a bazaar or picnic in a certain area. Often the article will name the grove where the function was held.\nOld farms, especially in the east, offer a great opportunity for detecting. Many older rural areas were once inhabited by our first settlers. The houses are now long gone and the areas purchased by farmers who most often turned the land into farm fields.\nSome of those farm fields were often used by troops during the French & Indian, and Revolutionary Wars. Either battles were fought there, or the fields were used as encampments.\nOld Ghost Towns\nOf course, don\u2019t overlook the old ghost towns. These areas are also great for metal detecting. In the western states they are easy to find. However, in the east, the old towns that are no longer standing are much harder to locate. They are nothing more than large holes in the ground with walls of stone that were once the cellars of an old home. If you can locate an old area like this, it lends a great opportunity to locate some terrific finds.\nEastern ghost town metal detecting sites can be located with a little bit of knowledge.",

For the British, Alamein signified \u2018the end of the beginning\u2019.\nTunisgrad \u2013 Desert war, 1943\nChris Bambery reassesses the end of the Axis occupation of North Africa.\nAirship against AA guns\nOur new occasional series, Frontline, launches with the testimony of Kapit\u00e4nleutenant Joachim Breithaupt, a young naval officer who commanded Zeppelin L15 during WWI.\nLairds of Battle \u2013 Scottish Highlanders\nRoss Cowan argues that the tartan-clad Romantic icon of the Highlander has had a longer life on shortbread tins than in reality.\nEgypt\u2019s missiles \u2013 Operation Damocles and Nasser\u2019s Nazi rockets\nRoger Howard looks at the military friction caused by President Nasser\u2019s 1957 rocket programme.\nBack to the Drawing Board, War on Film, Museum Review, Your Military History, Books, Warzone and much more.\nThe Second World War was never a single conflict. What began as a European civil war evolved, at the end of its first year, into a confrontation between the British Empire, supreme at sea, and the Nazis, dominant on land. In the middle of 1941, it changed again, as Eastern Europe was engulfed by a titanic and primeval struggle between Teuton and Slav.And only at the end of that year did it go global, when Japan launched an offensive in the Far East that immediately brought the USA into the war.\nBy the time it ended, the Second World War had become a struggle for global domination between two emergent superpowers \u2013 the US and the USSR. Many of its later acts \u2013 the \u2018Big Three\u2019 conferences at Teheran, Yalta, and Potsdam; the race to Berlin; the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki \u2013 turned out to be the opening moves of a new \u2018Cold War\u2019.\nSo when Churchill spoke of \u2018the end of the beginning\u2019, he was expressing a very British view. Alamein was indeed the end of the long \u2018beginning\u2019 before the might of Russia and America began to tell. Once it did, victory was virtually certain \u2013 but so too was the eclipse of the British Empire. Alamein, in a sense, was the last hurrah of the greatest of the old European empires.\nBut Britain\u2019s war was important in other ways. A people\u2019s war, it could be won only by mass mobilisation and collective action. Because of this, victory meant not just the destruction of Fascism, but also a new contract between state and people based on economic intervention and social reform.\nWe explore the great turning-point in Britain\u2019s war with complementary articles on Alamein and \u2018Tunisgrad\u2019. Also in this issue, Ross Cowan analyses warfare in the Scottish Highlands in the 16th and 17th centuries, Roger Howard reveals how Nazi scientists designed missiles for the Arabs in the 1960s, and we take a close look at the experience of First World War Zeppelin crew in the first of our new occasional series looking at the combat experience.",

        "raw_content": "White Sox prepping for important MLB Draft\nHahn looks to stockpile talent as club holds No. 4 pick\nKANSAS CITY -- The White Sox have the fourth pick overall in this year's MLB Draft, and they have the sixth highest bonus pool at $10,589,900. Teams were notified on Wednesday of their bonus pools and international spending limits.\nAn ongoing goal for the club's rebuild becomes increasing the critical mass of core talent. The '17 Draft played a part in fulfilling that goal via the addition of third baseman Jake Burger and first baseman Gavin Sheet. But the Draft takes on more importance in '18 with the plethora of '17 in-season trades for prospects most likely not repeating itself this year.\n\"Talent acquisition will probably slow over the course of the next 12 months or over the course of the next sixth months,\" White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said. \"It's not going to be anything close to the pace it was last season, but one very important element is going to be the 2018 Draft.\n\"It's a strong draft year. We know we are going to get a real good player at four. [White Sox director of amateur scouting] Nick [Hostetler] and his guys feel really good about the player they think we are going to get in the second round as well. When you look at it without any names attached to specific teams and the depth and breadth of this pool, it's a good year to have a sizeable bonus chunk like we do.\"\nDuring a recent interview, Hostetler described himself as maybe a little anxious but \"never nervous\" with the Draft approaching on June 4-6. Part of that calmness comes from Hostetler's confidence in his scouting staff including Midwest crosschecker Garrett Guest and national crosscheckers Mike Shirley and Nathan Durst, who are blanketing the country looking at potential picks.\nHostetler didn't have an exact number of players being considered by the team at No. 4, a slot with a pick value of $6,411,400. He did have an April target of paring down that group.\n\"We are trying to get us into a spot where come mid-April we are evaluating whatever the number might be, five or six guys who fit there at our pick for four,\" Hostetler said. \"The big thing right now is getting the looks and accumulating the list to go back on prior to that mid-April date, and then come mid-April start cutting it down a little bit more so we can focus on the right guys the rest of the way.\"\nFinding the best player available seems to be the Draft mantra, especially for a rebuilding team such as the White Sox. Hostetler reiterated players have to fit the rebuild big picture as well.\n\"Picking the right player and managing your pool are probably the two most important things for a scouting director to do,\" Hostetler said. \"You can make an impact, yes, with the first pick.\n\"But the pool is really more important than the actual number of picks you have. It gives you some flexibility. You are able to get creative with it, and put yourself in position where you are able to add depth and quality to your draft as well as some quantity.\"",

It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re single, in a relationship, or you\u2019ve been married for decades, you need to have regular conversations about your money. For single people, things tend to be a little easier since that plan usually just means coming up with a realistic budget and sticking to it, but for people in a relationship, things can be complicated.\nTalking about money isn\u2019t fun! Heck, 11% of those surveyed said they would rather eat dinner with an ex-friend or ex-significant other. Trust me, talking about your finances isn\u2019t that bad. For starters, it\u2019s an opportunity to discuss what money means to each partner. Not everyone has the same values when it comes to their money, so it\u2019s important to discuss what your individual goals are.\nOnce you\u2019ve had that initial discussion, you can come up with a budget that works for everyone. The benefit of this budget is that you hopefully won\u2019t resent each other for purchases if they fall within the budget. It\u2019s never healthy to argue about money, so find that happy medium for each other and stop stressing about money.\nMake sacrifices, but don\u2019t sacrifice everything\nIt\u2019s not uncommon for Canadians to make sacrifices to become debt free, but what are you willing to give up? Vacations, eating out, and shopping? Those are all things you should definitely cut out if you have high interest debt, but if your only debt is say your mortgage or a car loan, there\u2019s no reason why you still can\u2019t enjoy yourself.\nQuite often we can go to the extremes when we\u2019re trying to eliminate debt or save money, but that can be an unhealthy habit. It\u2019s okay to spend. Your budget should always include some fun stuff since that\u2019s what\u2019s going to keep you sane and your mind off your money. If your budget allows you to spend on coffee and eating out, then you shouldn\u2019t feel guilty when you make those purchases.\nDespite the fact that I often talk about credit card perks, things can get quickly out of hand if you\u2019re not smart about your money. I shouldn\u2019t have to remind you that you should always pay off your entire bill on time every month, but I\u2019m reminding you to pay off your entire bill on time every month. It doesn\u2019t matter how many perks or points you\u2019re getting, paying interest on your purchases is never worth it.\nIf you haven\u2019t checked your credit score in some time, you may want to take a look now with Capital One\u2019s Credit Keeper. This is important since having a good credit score is usually a requirement if you ever plan on getting a loan in the future such as a mortgage. Don\u2019t stress out if you don\u2019t have a perfect credit score, just focus on increasing or maintaining it.\nNow if you\u2019re still constantly worrying about your finances, it may make sense to talk to a professional to get you back on track. There are great money coaches, financial planners, and debt counsellors that can advise you on the next steps. You don\u2019t need to handle these things on your own.\nStressing about finances can happen to anyone, you just want to make sure it doesn\u2019t consume your daily life. Educate yourself, make adjustments and check out the Credit Education Week website to find out what events are taking place across the country.\nYou\u2019re right, people need to talk about money. Trying to keep it like some sort of secret makes it easier to not think about it consciously. And when you don\u2019t think about it consciously you end up either wasting money or not being able to invest/save\nThe problem is, people don\u2019t like or are afraid to talk about money. Once they actually start doing it, they\u2019ll realize there was nothing to be afraid of.",

Non-Confidential\nSexual assault and harassment based upon gender, gender identity, and gender orientation is a violation of Federal and State laws, and the University's Statement on Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action, Sexual Harassment and Tolerance. The University\u2019s Gender Based Conduct Policy and Procedures are adopted to comply with these laws. Montclair State University is committed to the principles of academic and professional excellence and a positive learning and working environment for its students. The civil and respectful treatment of one another is a foundation of this principle, and Gender Based harassment and sexual assault will not be tolerated by the University.\nThe University strives to eliminate harassment through education and encouraging students to report concerns or complaints. Prompt corrective measures will be taken to stop gender harassment and protect a student who has complained of sexual assault whenever it occurs. Students and employees who violate this policy are subject to disciplinary measures, up to and including dismissal from the University or termination of employment. Any student who complains of gender based harassment or sexual assault should follow the reporting procedures in this Policy. Complaints should be filed as soon as possible after the alleged incident because late reporting may impede the University's investigation.\nPrint copies of the Gender Based Conduct Policy and Procedures are available in the Office of the Dean of Students, Division for Human Resources, Sprague Library, Office for Social Justice and Diversity, Counseling and Psychological Services, University Police Department, University Health Center and the University\u2019s website at: https://www.montclair.edu/sexual-harassment\nAll acts of sexual assault are a form of discrimination prohibited by Title IX and VAWA. Sexual assault is also a criminal act. Therefore, a student has a right to file a criminal complaint and a complaint with the University, simultaneously.\nConsent is defined as informed, voluntary and mutual, and may be withdrawn at any time. Consent is not obtained with express or implied force, coercion, intimidation, threat, or duress. Consent to a sexual act must be expressed, and be fully informed and a freely decided choice to participate in sexual contact or intercourse. Consent cannot be assumed or implied by silence or the absence of physical or verbal resistance. Consent is an affirmative, unambiguous and conscious decision. Consent to one type of sex act does not imply consent to other forms and must be ongoing throughout a sexual encounter. Past consent to sexual activity does not imply ongoing future consent with a person or consent to the same activity with another person. If a person is mentally or physically incapacitated or impaired so that a person cannot understand the fact, nature or extent of the sexual situation, there is no consent. This includes incapacitation by use of alcohol and/or drug consumption, or being asleep or unconscious.\nConsensual romantic and sexual relationships between students and employees are strongly discouraged because these relationships may appear exploitative even if the parties view their relationship as consensual. Because of the inherent conflict of interest, no employee involved in a relationship with a student shall have responsibility for evaluating the student's academic or employment performance, or for making decisions regarding the student's rights or benefits.\nDating Violence is defined as sexual or other physical assault committed by a person who is or has been in a relationship of a romantic or intimate nature with the complainant. The existence of such a relationship shall be determined based on a consideration of the following three factors: (1) the length of the relationship; (2) the type of relationship; and (3) the frequency of interaction between the persons involved in the relationship.\nDomestic Violence is defined as a pattern of abusive behavior in any relationship that is used by one person to gain or maintain power and control over another person. Domestic violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, economic, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person. This may include, but is not limited to any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, harass, assault, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound another. Domestic violence also includes violent misdemeanor and felony offenses committed by the complainant\u2019s current or former spouse, current or former cohabitant, person similarly situated or protected under domestic or family violence law (e.g. current or former spouse or intimate partner, or a person with whom someone shares a child or any other person who is a present or former household member.)\nGender Harassment is defined to mean unwelcome conduct, whether between people of different genders or the same gender, or unwelcome conduct of a non-sexual nature based upon a student\u2019s actual or perceived gender, including conduct based on gender identity or expression, and non-conformity with gender stereotypes, that substantially interferes with work, educational performance or equal access to the University\u2019s resources and opportunities.\nGender Harassment includes quid pro quo harassment and hostile environment harassment.\nQuid Pro Quo Harassment is unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constituting submission or rejection if such conduct is made a condition of academic evaluation or the conferral of any benefit. It involves an implicit or explicit threat that if the student does not accede to the sexual demands of someone in authority he or she will suffer adverse consequences.\nHostile Environment Harassment is unwelcome conduct that would not have occurred but for the student's gender, that is severe or pervasive enough to make a reasonable person believe that the conditions of the student's education are altered and the academic environment is hostile or abusive. The complained-of conduct need not be sexual in nature to constitute hostile environment sexual harassment. Hostile environment harassment can occur when anyone in the campus community harasses another person. An individual's intent or lack of intent to harass is not relevant to the determination of whether harassment occurred. To make the ultimate determination of whether a hostile environment harassment exists, the University considers a variety of factors related to the severity, persistence, or pervasiveness of the sexual harassment, including (1) the type, frequency, and duration of the conduct; (2) the identity and relationships of persons involved; (3) the number of individuals involved; (4) the location of the conduct and the context in which it occurred; and (5) the degree to which the conduct affected one or more student\u2019s education. The more severe the sexual harassment, the less need there is to show a repetitive series of incidents to find a hostile environment. Indeed, a single instance of sexual assault may be sufficient to create a hostile environment. Likewise, a series of incidents may be sufficient even if the sexual harassment is not particularly severe.\nSexual Assault is defined as actual or attempted sexual contact with another person without that person\u2019s consent, or when a person is incapable of giving consent. Additional acts that fall under sexual assault include, but are not limited to sex without consent and sexual battery.\nSexual battery is defined as coercing, forcing or attempting to coerce or force a person to touch another person\u2019s intimate sexual organs or penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth of a person by any body part of another person, or by an object without the other person\u2019s Consent. Sexual Battery may occur whether the complainant is clothed or not.\nSexual coercion is defined as using verbal or physical pressure, alcohol or drugs to have sexual contact with someone against his or her will, and persistent attempts to have sexual contact with someone who has refused sexual contact.\nStalking is defined as repeatedly maintaining a visual or physical proximity to a person, directly, indirectly, or through third parties, by any action, method, device, or means; following, monitoring, observing, surveilling, threatening, or communicating to or about a person; or interfering with a person\u2019s property; repeatedly committing harassment against a person; or repeatedly conveying or causing to be conveyed verbal or written threats conveyed by any other means of communication; or threats implied by conduct or a combination thereof, directed at or toward a person; or such other course of conduct directed to a specific person what would cause a reasonable person to fear for her/his or other\u2019s safety, or to suffer substantial emotional distress.\nThe act of photographing, filming, videotaping, recording or otherwise reproducing in any manner, or disclosing the image of, a person whose intimate parts are exposed or who is engaged in an act of sexual penetration or sexual contact, without such person\u2019s consent, and under circumstances in which a reasonable person would not expect to be observed.\nA proceeding is the due process and appeal rights provided to a complainant and respondene pursuant to this Policy.\nThe University\u2019s final outcome and determination after the Proceeding.\nThe University encourages all complainants to report incidents of Gender Harassment and Sexual Assault and to seek help from the resources identified in this Policy.\nIndividuals employed by the University as a physician, psychologist, nurse practitioner, or assigned to work within the University Health Center, Office for Social Justice and Diversity, Women\u2019s Center, or Center for Psychological Services, or acting as professional religious leaders and clergy (collectively \u201cConfidential Employees\u201d) are required to hold in confidence reports of conduct that may be Gender Harassment and Sexual Assault. Students who wish to keep such an incident confidential, should seek guidance from the Office for Social Justice and Diversity, Women\u2019s Center, the University Health Center, and the Center for Psychological Services or other Confidential Employees. Confidential Employees will refer such matters to the Deputy Title IX Coordinator or Title IX Coordinator, as appropriate, only if authorized by the complainant. In cases of Gender Harassment, the student may be offered the informal resolution process in this Policy as an alternative to the formal complaint process. Sexual Assault may only be addressed through a formal complaint.\nAll employees who are not Confidential Employees and have received a report of Dating Violence, Domestic Assault, Gender Harassment, Sexual Assault, Sexual Battery, Sexual Coercion, Stalking or Sexual Exploitation, must report it to the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator, as appropriate, who will determine what steps need to be taken. When a matter is reported by an employee other than a Confidential Employee and the student requests confidentiality, the Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator will consider whether the request for confidentiality can be honored while still providing a safe environment for all students. Such requests for confidentiality will be weighed against the overall safety of students, and confidentiality will be maintained to the extent possible to protect the privacy interests of those involved.\nThe Title IX Coordinator or Deputy Title IX Coordinator will inform the complainant and respondent of available Interim Measures and will coordinate Interim Measures for both as appropriate. Interim measures will be offered during the investigation of a complaint, during a Proceeding and after the Result. Interim measures shall be designed to avoid depriving both the complainant and respondent students of their education and may include, but not be limited to, a change in class assignments, living arrangements, dining, transportation, etc. Interim Measures may also include the provision of resources to the students including, but not limited to counseling, advocacy, academic support, physical health and mental health services.\nConfidential Employees who receive a report of Sexual Assault will discuss with the complainant the available process for reporting it and request Interim Measures on the student\u2019s behalf without reporting the nature of the Sexual Assault. Confidential Employees will work with the student to determine what information he/she is willing to share with other employees involved in securing Interim Measures. Confidential Employees will also explain to the student how sharing certain information with other employees may trigger the obligation to investigate.\nIt is a violation of these procedures for anyone to make false accusations of Gender Harassment or Sexual Assault. Failure to prove a claim of Gender Harassment or Sexual Assault, however, is not equivalent to making a false accusation. Sanctions may be imposed for intentionally making groundless or malicious accusations of Gender Harassment or Sexual Assault.\nThe Title IX Coordinator is responsible for investigating student complaints involving employees and contractors. The Title IX Coordinator\u2019s Office is located in The Overlook Corporate Center, 150 Clove Road, 3rd Floor, Little Falls, NJ 07424 within the Division of Human Resources and can be reached at 973/655-5293, or by email sent to Associate Vice President for Compliance and Labor Relations, Junea Williams-Edmund at williamsedmj@montclair.edu.\nThe Deputy Title IX Coordinator is responsible for investigating student complaints involving other students. The Deputy Title IX Coordinator\u2019s office is located in the Student Center, Suite 400, and can be reached at 973/655-4118, or by email sent to Associate Dean of Students Yolanda Alvarez at alvarezyo@montclair.edu.\n1. Student Advisors\nStudents have the right to be accompanied by an advisor during the investigation and Proceeding. The advisor may be any individual of the student\u2019s choice, including, a lawyer, a family member, University faculty or other employee. An advisor participating in the investigation, hearing and appeal is limited in the same manner as described in the Student Code of Conduct. Specifically, advisors may not speak on behalf of the student charged, or appear in lieu of the student, but may advise students to answer or not answer a question. Advisors may assist a student during the investigation, preparing responses to the investigator and its report, responding to charges filed under the Student Code of Conduct, and with any appeal. A student who wishes to have an advisor present at a hearing must inform the Director of Student Conduct, or his/her designee, in writing, by fax or by electronic mail, at least two business days prior to a hearing. It is the responsibility of the student to make sure the Advisor is present, and the unavailability of the Advisor will not be sufficient grounds for postponing the investigation, decision, or conduct process under this Policy. Any further participation in the investation is at the discretion of the Deputy Title IX Coordinator. Any further participation in the student conduct process is at the discretion of the Director of Student Conduct.\n2. Employee Advisors\nEmployees have the right to be accompanied by an advisor of their choice during the investigation and Proceeding. An advisor may be any individual of the employee\u2019s choice, including, a lawyer, a family member, University faculty or other employee, or a representative of a union in which the employee is a member. If the advisor is a union representative, the advisor\u2019s participation in the Proceeding shall be limited in accordance with the employee\u2019s applicable collective bargaining agreement. If the employee is not a member of a union, the advisor\u2019s role shall be permitted in the same manner as the advisor for a student. Any further participation is at the discretion of the Title IX Coordinator.\nSexual acts without Consent, Dating Violence, Domestic Violence, Gender Harassment, Sexual Assault, Sexual Battery, Sexual Coercion and Stalking suffered by a student, whether occurring on or off campus, may be reported pursuant to this Policy and Procedures. If the respondent is not a student, employee, or contractor or otherwise affiliated with the University, the student will be offered Interim Measures and all other resources available under this Policy; but the investigation may be conducted by the legal authorities who have jurisdiction over the respondent.\nD. Informal Resolution Process\nFor matters other than Sexual Assault, the University offers an informal resolution process to students as an alternative to filing a formal complaint which will require an investigation and adjudication proceeding. Informal resolution may include the services of the Campus Mediation Center. Informal resolution requires the voluntary agreement of both parties and focuses on settlement rather than a finding of culpability. The University will not pursue disciplinary action against a student during the informal resolution process. If attempts to resolve the matter during informal resolution are unsuccessful, or if the student or Deputy Title IX Coordinator believe informal resolution is no longer appropriate, the formal complaint process described below can be utilized at any time. Informal resolution is not a prerequisite to the filing of a formal complaint.\nThe Deputy Title IX Coordinator or Title IX Coordinator, as appropriate, may meet with the parties and their respective advisers separately, together, or both. The purpose of the meeting is to fully disclose the allegations, advise both parties of the options available for resolution, obtain both parties\u2019 written consent for informal resolution, clarify issues and attempt to resolve the issues in dispute.\nIf the complaint is resolved, an agreement stipulating the terms of the resolution will be prepared and signed by all parties. Each party will be given a copy of the signed agreement. A copy of the agreement will be retained by the University in accordance with applicable laws and its record retention policies.\nIf the informal resolution process is not successful, the student may file a formal complaint.\n1. Complaints filed by a Student against Employee or Contractor\nIf a student wishes to file a formal complaint against an employee or contractor under this Policy, the student should contact the Title IX Coordinator and specify in writing the nature of the complaint, dates of particular events, names and contact information for witnesses, the name of the individual who has violated this Policy, the remedy requested, and any other relevant information.\nWhen a Complaint is filed against an employee or contractor, it will be investigated by the Title IX Coordinator or designee.\nComplaints will be acknowledged, and promptly investigated which will include interviews with the student complainant, the respondent, and other persons believed to have knowledge relevant to the allegations. Confidentiality of the investigation will be maintained to the extent possible.\nThe Title IX Coordinator will provide written notice to the respondent of the detailed allegations made by the complainant within a sufficient time prior to conducting his/her interview. At a minimum, the respondent will be provided the names of the parties involved, the date and location of the alleged incident(s), and the conduct allegedly constituting a violation of this Policy.\nThe complainant and respondent will be provided advance notice of the date of an interview or hearing that is sufficient to permit their meaningful participation. The complainant, respondent and investigator will be provided timely and equal access to any information that will be used during interviews and hearings.\nA determination will be made in response to the complaint based upon the preponderance of evidence (more likely than not) standard.\nThe investigation should be completed within 60 calendar days from the time the complaint is filed, but may be extended if warranted based upon the particular circumstances. Both parties will be notified of any extensions.\nUpon the conclusion of the investigation, a written report will be prepared. The report will summarize the relevant exculpatory and inculpatory evidence, and findings of credibility will be noted. Prior to a decision of responsibility, the complainant and respondent shall be provided a copy of the report. Exhibits to the report shall be made available for inspection by the complainant and respondent. The complainant and respondent may respond in writing to the report within 5 business days. The names and other identifying information of individuals in the report will be redacted in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (\u201cFERPA\u201d), or as appropriate to protect the safety of the complainant and respondent, or to prevent retaliation, unless doing so would interfere with the purposes of applicable law to prevent gender based discrimination. The respondent and complainant must keep the report confidential and not share it with anyone other than their advisor who shall also keep the report confidential, and a failure to do so may subject them to disciplinary action.\nThe Title IX Coordinator will forward the report summarizing its investigation of allegations against an employee, and the written responses made by the complainant and respondent to the report, to the President or designee with a recommendation concerning the violation of this Policy. The President or designee will review the report and issue a final determination of the Result to the complainant and respondent. The final decision of the President or designee may include remedial measures to prevent recurrence and remedy any effects caused by the employee\u2019s conduct. Sanctions for employees may range from referral for training, referral for counseling, oral reprimand, referral for disciplinary action such as suspension, reassignment, demotion, or termination of employment, subject to applicable laws and collective bargaining agreements, and/or referral for criminal prosecution.\nAll disciplinary action taken against students and employees will be in compliance with relevant law and regulations.\nBoth the complainant and the respondent shall be simultaneously informed, in writing, of the Result, the rationale for the Result, sanctions imposed, the University\u2019s procedures for both parties to appeal the Result, and when the Result becomes final.\n2. Complaints filed by a Student against a Student\nIf a student wishes to file a formal complaint against a student under this Policy, the student should contact the Deputy Title IX Coordinator and specify in writing the nature of the complaint, dates of particular events, names and contact information for witnesses, the name of the individual who has violated this Policy, the remedy requested, and any other relevant information.\nWhen a complaint is filed against a student, it will be investigated by the Deputy Title IX Coordinator or designee.\nThe Deputy Title IX Coordinator will provide written notice to the respondent of the detailed allegations made by the complainant within a sufficient time prior to conducting his/her interview. At a minimum, the respondent will be provided the names of the parties involved, the date and location of the alleged incident(s), and the conduct allegedly constituting a violation of this Policy and the Student Code of Conduct.\nThe Deputy Title IX Coordinator will forward the report summarizing its investigation of allegations made against a student, and the written responses made by the complainant and respondent to the report, to the Director of Student Conduct. The Director of Student Conduct will determine if a violation of this Policy and/or Student Code of Conduct has been demonstrated under the preponderance of evidence standard, taking into consideration the written responses made by the complaint and respondent to the report. The complainant and respondent will be notified of the Director of Student Conduct\u2019s decision who may file charges against the student pursuant to the University\u2019s Student Code of Conduct. The student may defend the charges in accordance with the Panel Hearing process defined in the Student Code of Conduct. Sanctions for students may range from a warning to expulsion and referral to the appropriate authorities for criminal prosecution.\n1. Appeals Involving a Complaint by a Student against an Employee or Contractor\nFollowing the imposition of Interim Measures, an appeal may be filed by a student to the Vice President for Student Development and Campus Life, or by the respondent employee to the Vice President for Human Resources in accordance with University policy and any applicable collective bargaining agreement.\nFollowing the Result, both complainant student and respondent employee have the right to appeal the University's decision. Appeals must be submitted in writing to the University's President for reconsideration within 5 business days. If the request for reconsideration is affirmed by the President, the Result may be further appealed to the University\u2019s Board of Trustees within 60 calendar days after the President\u2019s decision and in accordance with the Rules Governing Appeals to the Montclair State University Board of Trustees.\nThe University's Board of Trustees may: a) affirm the original decision, sanction and corresponding stipulations; 2) affirm the original decision but modify the original sanction or stipulations; or 3) reverse or modify the decision, which may include dismissal of the charges.\nThe Board of Trustee\u2019s decision is a final action by the University.\n2. Appeals Involving Only Students\nInterim Measures may be appealed in writing by a student complainant or respondent to the Vice President for Student Development and Campus Life within three (3) business days of the decision.\nThe decision of the Director of Student Conduct may be appealed in writing by a student complainant or respondent to the Vice President for Student Development and Campus Life within three (3) business days of the decision.\nIf the Result was imposed by a Student Conduct Hearing Panel, an appeal may be filed by the complainant or respondent student within 3 business days after the Result with the Vice President for Student Development and Campus Life or designee. If the Vice President for Student Development and Campus Life or designee determines the appeal has merit, the Vice President/designee will convene an appellate board to review it. The appellate board will be comprised of one (1) student, (1) faculty/staff and (1) administrator not associated with the hearing. The appeal shall explain the basis of new information not considered at the hearing, if any, or will be otherwise be limited to a review of the verbatim record and evidentiary documents presented to the Student Conduct Hearing Panel.\nReview of an appeal will be limited to consideration of the following:\n(i) Whether there was a procedural error or a lack of adequate due process. Deviations from designated procedures will not be a basis for sustaining an appeal unless significant prejudice results;\n(ii) Whether the sanction(s) imposed were appropriate or substantially disproportionate to the findings;\n(iii) To consider new information, sufficient to alter the Result, or other relevant facts not brought out in the original hearing, because such information and/or facts were not known or available to the person appealing at the time of the Proceeding;\nThe appeal may be resolved in the following manner:\n(i) affirm the Result and the sanctions and corresponding stipulations;\n(ii) affirm the Result and modify the sanction; or\n(iii) reverse the Result and determine a new outcome, which may include the dismissal of charges.\n3. The decision of the appeal is a final action of the University.\nRecords related to a complaint filed against a University employee or contractor, the investigation, Proceeding and the Result shall be retained within the Division of Human Resources. Records related to a complaint filed against a student, the investigation, Proceeding and the Result shall be retained in the Office of the Dean of Students. Such records may not be destroyed until after the record retention periods required by applicable law have expired.\nRetaliation against any person who files a complaint under the Policy, or who provides information in the course of an investigation, or who opposes a discriminatory practice, is prohibited by the University and Federal and State laws. No person bringing a complaint, providing information for an investigation, or testifying in any proceeding under this Policy shall be subjected to adverse consequences in their employment or access to University academic programs or be the subject of other retaliation. Any employee or student who is engages in such retaliation shall be subject to discipline by the University.\nIn addition to following the University's internal procedures, a student has the right to file a complaint with federal and state agencies that investigate discrimination charges.

        "raw_content": "Here\u2019s a Cure for America\u2019s Latest Zika Panic\nHealth officials fully expected a few mosquito-borne cases here. They\u2019re on it.\nMichael MechanicJuly 29, 2016 6:43 PM\nAedes aegyptiTorres Garcia/Shutterstock\nHealth officials have reported that four cases of Zika in Florida were likely spread from person to person by domestic mosquitoes. This is the moment Democratic politicians\u2014and a few southern Republicans\u2014have been warning about. The finding is bound to create a lot more scary rhetoric and dire headlines.\nBut here\u2019s the thing: There\u2019s no need to freak out\u2014not yet, at least.\nWe knew this was going to happen. Back in May, I spoke with Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who is leading US efforts to create a Zika vaccine. Here\u2019s what he said:\nIt is likely that we will have restricted local transmission\u2014small local outbreaks? My call would be that we will. Because we\u2019ve had dengue and chikungunya, which are in the same regions of South and Central America and the Caribbean, and are transmitted by exactly the same mosquito. Historically we\u2019ve had small local outbreaks of dengue in Florida and Texas, and a small local outbreak of chikungunya in Florida, which makes me conclude that sooner or later, we have going to have small local outbreaks of Zika\u2014whether that\u2019s five cases or 30\u2014likely along the Gulf Coast.\nThis is exactly what we\u2019re seeing. And why is this not a huge problem? Because we\u2019re almost certainly not going to let it become one. Just as Fauci predicted, this likely outbreak\u2014scientists haven\u2019t actually found any infected mosquitoes yet\u2014is highly isolated. According to the New York Times, the suspected \u201carea of active transmission is limited to a one-square-mile area\u201d near downtown Miami.\nWith there\u2019s an outbreak like this one in the United States, mosquito-control workers and public health officials swarm all over it.\nAedes aegypti, the most likely culprit, is what University of California-Davis geneticist Greg Lanzaro calls a \u201clazy mosquito.\u201d It doesn\u2019t fly far. In its entire lifespan of two to three weeks, it might travel a few hundred meters, another expert told me. So it\u2019s not coming for you. The mosquitoes that picked up the virus may be limited to one small neighborhood.\nHere\u2019s what happens when we have such an outbreak: Mosquito-control workers and public health officials swarm all over it. Aegypti is an elusive little bugger, but you can bet that within that one square mile, eradication specialists and epidemiologists will be going house to house until they figure out where the aegypti are breeding, and wipe them out.\nCompared with, say, Puerto Ricans, mainland Americans are also protected by our lifestyle. People in the Deep South tend to have air conditioning and screens on their windows. We also don\u2019t usually store drinking water in open containers, as families often do in the tropics. We spend more time indoors, out of the heat. And all of this helps minimize contact with the mosquitoes. Consider that before Zika became a problem, as Fauci mentioned, we also had periodic outbreaks of dengue and Chikungunya, spread by the same mosquito. As I pointed out previously:\nWhen was the last time you worried about Chikungunya or dengue\u2014or malaria, for that matter? Those diseases are far scarier than Zika. WHO estimates (conservatively) that malaria infected at least 214 million people last year and killed 438,000, mostly children under five. Then there\u2019s dengue, named from the Swahili phrase ki denga pepo (\u201ca sudden overtaking by a spirit\u201d)\u2014which tells you something about how painful it is. Each year, dengue, also called \u201cbreakbone fever,\u201d infects 50-100 million people, sickens about 70 percent of them\u2014half a million very severely\u2014and kills tens of thousands. Brazil, in addition to its Zika problem, is experiencing a record dengue epidemic. Health authorities there tallied 1.6 million cases and 863 deaths last year\u2014and the 2016 toll is on track to be worse. Zika is seldom fatal.\nThis doesn\u2019t mean we should ignore the latest news, of course. If you\u2019re pregnant, especially in southern Florida, you\u2019re probably already taking precautions to avoid mosquito bites, like using repellents and eliminating any standing water on your property. FDA officials are asking people in Miami-Dade and Broward counties to refrain from giving blood until we know what\u2019s going on. But most Americans, even most southerners, have little reason to freak out.\nOnly one of the six scientists I interviewed was concerned that Zika might take off in the continental United States. \u201cYou would never see Zika virus, Chikungunya virus, or dengue virus sweep across the country the way West Nile did, even in the regions where these mosquitoes are,\u201d UC-Davis epidemiologist Chris Barker told me. \u201cBecause that\u2019s just not how it works in our country.\u201d\nShould Mainland Americans Be Panicking About Zika?\nIs This Early-Stage Vaccine Our Best Hope Against Zika?",

        "title": "8 Classic Car Restoration Tips for Beginners - Motor Era",
        "raw_content": "If you don\u2019t restore your classic car the right way, you run the risk of doing it some serious damage. But if you\u2019ve never restored a classic car before, you might not know how to do things properly.\nThankfully if you\u2019re in this position, you\u2019ll be happy to know there are some proven tips you can use to help you restore a classic car.\nKeep reading and I\u2019ll share 8 classic car restoration tips that\u2019ll work even for beginners. Make use of these tips and it won\u2019t be long before your classic car looks as though it just rolled off the lot.\n1. Spend Enough Time on the Project\nRestoring a classic car is not something that should be rushed. Most of the problems people run into when restoring a classic car, generally arise due to rushing things.\nYou need to be prepared for the fact that it\u2019s going to take time to restore the car. There will likely be certain parts of the car that need more attention than others. These aspects will need a lot of attention to detail and this will inevitably take up a lot of time.\nThe good thing is that you don\u2019t have to do all the work in one go and there is nothing wrong with stretching the work out over a long period of time. The key thing you need to be aware of though, is that there is generally a lot of work involved in a project like this.\nIf you don\u2019t think you have the resources needed to handle a classic car restoration project that\u2019s fine. You can always buy a classic car that has already been restored. If you\u2019d like to find out more about this, you can visit this site.\n2. Pick a Project You Can Handle\nIf you don\u2019t currently own a classic car, you\u2019ll likely want to buy a car that you can restore. There are two things that are generally going to impact the cost of the project. The car you pick and the amount it needs to be restored.\nSome classic cars are going to cost more than others. But whilst this might sound obvious, you also need to keep in mind that some of the more expensive cars will have more expensive parts. For example, it might cost a lot more to restore the interior of a \u2018premium\u2019 classic car than it would for something that isn\u2019t so upmarket.\nNeedless to say, even if you buy a basic classic car, you\u2019ll still have to spend a lot of money to restore it, if the car is in poor condition. After all, you\u2019re going to need to buy a lot more parts for it. You\u2019ll also have to spend more time on it.\nIt\u2019s hard to say what you\u2019re going to need to spend ahead of time. Just make sure you check the costs of parts before you commit to investing in a project.\n3. Check Unconventional Locations to Find a Bargain\nFinding classic cars you can restore can be a challenge. You don\u2019t want to end up overpaying. Luckily, there are many places that sell classic cars, a lot of which are unconventional. These options work well because they often allow you to take advantage of a bargain. should be able to avoid investing in a bad deal.\nUnusually, one of the best places to look for classic cars is in classified ads. You might want to buy a paper from a wide variety of large cities to see what is on offer. You can even take a look at the ads within specialist driving magazines. These will have sections dedicated to classic cars.\nYou can also check out websites like eBay. There will be dedicated sellers on these sites that only deal with classic cars. When you\u2019re buying from such sites you need to be careful.\nYou often aren\u2019t able to see the cars in person and this can create problems. Make sure you ask the seller as many questions as you can, of which will allow you to judge the quality of the car. Also take some time to check the history of the seller, to see if they\u2019re reputable or not. Be sure to do your due diligence if you\u2019re going to import a car.\n4. Pay Attention to Specialist Sites and Forums\nIf you\u2019re struggling to find a car using the locations mentioned, visit specialist sites and forums dedicated to classic cars. These sites might not be able to provide you with a bargain, in terms of the cost of the car. But you should be able to see a much wider variety of cars on these sites.\nThe good thing about these sites is that they\u2019re home to a lot of experts. This means you can crowdsource a lot of knowledge in terms of how you should go about restoring a particular car.\nYou may even want to take the offline approach of visiting a classic car show. There will likely be people at such shows who are willing to sell their cars.\n5. Buy the Right Tools\nRestoring a classic car is going to need for you to invest in some tools. The tools you need are going to vary on the project you\u2019re dealing with. You will need some of the basics like a screwdriver, wrench and a drill for even the most basic of projects.\nBut if the project is quite complex you might need to invest in something like an engine crane. Such items can be quite expensive and again, it\u2019s important you\u2019re aware of the costs before you take on a project. Keep in mind you can always source certain items second hand. If you\u2019re going to do this, though, make sure you are certain the items you\u2019re buying are of sound quality.\n6. Should You Stick to the Rules?\nWhen restoring an old car, you can pretty much do whatever you want. Sure, you\u2019ll need to stick to the rules regarding the mechanics of the car. But when it comes to aesthetics, you can customize it the way you want to.\nYou don\u2019t have to restore the car so that it looks like an original. You can add your own design and do things how you think are best. This is something worth remembering if you\u2019re struggling to source original items for a restoration project.\n7. Create a Space to Store Your Car\nYou also want to think about having a certain space where you can store your car.\nYou probably don\u2019t want to keep your restoration project out on the street. So think about making room in your garage. You might even want to invest in a specialist storage facility, that\u2019ll help you look after your car.\n8. Understand How to Look After Your Car\nStoring your car isn\u2019t enough to keep it in optimal condition. You\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re taking steps to reduce mold. You can do this with the help of a dehumidifier. You\u2019ll also want to ensure your car is turned on at least once a month. This can help prevent the battery from going flat.\nOnce your restoration project is completed, think about creating a checklist of things you need to do every month. As long as you follow this checklist, your car should look good for many years to come.\nDo You Understand Classic Car Restoration?\nRestoring a classic car is the dream of many. But if you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing, taking on such a project can be incredibly challenging.\nIn this post, we\u2019ve reviewed some tips that can help you during a classic car restoration. You should think about the amount of effort it is going to take to complete such a project. You also want to be aware of the costs involved, in terms of the parts needed for the car.\nOnce you\u2019ve finished your restoration project, it also helps to think about where you\u2019re going to store your car. This\u2019ll ensure your car doesn\u2019t quickly deteriorate after all the hard work you\u2019ve put into restoring it.\nWant to learn how often you should change car tires?

Its architecture consists of an unusual hybrid of classical Georgian townhouses, which reflect a strong British connection, and tall Spanish apartment blocks shading the narrow streets.\nFrom near the ferry terminal, set beneath the cliff that supports the remains of the city wall, a generous stone stairway, the Costa de Ses Voltes, leads up to the series of small squares that comprise the heart of the old town. The Pla\u00e7a Constituci\u00f3 boasts the town\u2019s main church, Santa Mar\u00eda. Founded in 1287 by Alfonso III to celebrate the island\u2019s reconquest, it has been remodelled on several subsequent occasions.\nLike Mah\u00f3n, Ciutadella is just waiting to be discovered on an MSC Mediterranean cruise excursion. Sitting high above its harbour, with navigation difficult here owing to a narrow channel too slender for anything but the smallest of cargo ships, Ciutadella has nevertheless been the island\u2019s capital for most of its history. The narrow, cobbled streets of its compact, fortified centre brim with fine old palaces, hidden away behind high walls, and a set of Baroque and Gothic churches very much in the Spanish tradition.\nThe main plazas and points of interest are all within a few strides of each other, on and around the main square, Pla\u00e7a d\u2019es Born, in the middle of which a soaring obelisk commemorates the town\u2019s futile defence against the marauding Turks in 1558. To the northwest, the square is bordered by the steep harbour walls, and in the northeast lies the vast nineteenth-century mansion Palau Torresaura.\nYachts in the pretty harbour\nMonte Toro church",

They have recently joined forces with Jennifer Meller and her historical dance troupe, San Francisco Renaissance Dancers, for collaborative projects in 2019, 2020!\nThe Ensemble is named after Thomas Nash, a forbear of a founding ensemble member, who as a blacksmith and colonist in New Haven colony was one of the original 25 signees of the Guilford Plantation Covenant of 1639.

He died on Sunday at a local hospital, Westminster Police Investigator Cheri Spottke said. She said more than 60 students witnessed the incident.\nNett suffered severe burns over 80 percent of his body, the Westminster Fire Department said. The county coroner will release the cause of death later in the week.\nDuring the incident, a teacher suffered a minor cut to her hand when she broke glass to retrieve the fire extinguisher, police said at the time.\nThe blaze prompted the evacuation of the 1,400-student school in Westminster, a suburb of 100,000 people northwest of Denver. Police found no other explosives or suspicious devices when they searched the school and concluded that Nett acted alone.\nStandley Lake is in the same school district as Columbine High School, where two teenagers shot dead a teacher and 12 classmates before committing suicide in 1999 in one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.\nDenver-area schools have been on edge since December when an 18-year-old student in Arapahoe High in nearby Centennial shot a classmate to death with a shotgun before killing himself.\nNett, in a rambling online posting before the self-immolation, said that no one was to blame for his suicide and nothing could have been done to prevent it.\n\"I had this planned for years,\" he said in a Facebook posting, adding, \"I never was a really good person.\"",

        "raw_content": "Integrating Culture Into The Classroom\nWhen academic environments provide a culturally responsive environment for their students within the classroom a bridge is built between their home culture and their school culture. A culturally responsive environment ensures that every student will have the chance to succeed by understanding each individuals cultural practices and beliefs. This is achieved by engaging in practices that encourage a cultural response. The use of these practices will aid in forming an over all understanding of the beliefs, behaviors, and values of an individuals culture that could possibly differ from your own culture. These practices can fill in the gaps that may have caused a divide between races and cultures with in the Wisconsin school districts. Incorporating these practices within academic facilities will also help to prepare the students for the multicultural world that we currently live in today.\nIt does not matter what we have or who we are individually because at the end of the day we all have the same needs. Everyone wants the same goals of freedom, power, fun and belonging. When speaking with a student who comes from a different cultural background from your own one must intellectually, emotionally, politically and socially engage. One needs to speak with both their heart and their head.\nRace is known for nationally dividing schools for the past decades. It is commonly know as the equality gap. There has been long standing inequality in our educational infrastructure. There is national as well as state data from Wisconsin which reveals evidence that students of color have measurably lower success rates that those of their white peers. In order to help the diverse succeed you must meet the challenge of understanding them as people and how their culture has shaped them. Let us help see America succeed.",

        "title": "Risk of stillbirth 'higher in males'",
        "raw_content": "The risk of a stillborn baby being male is greater than the infant being female, a new study has revealed.\nAccording to the NHS, there are around 4,000 stillbirths every year in the UK, equating to 11 babies being stillborn each day.\nNearly a quarter of stillbirth causes are unknown. However, two-thirds of instances are linked to problems with the functioning of the placenta - the organ that connects the baby's blood supply to the mother's and nourishes the baby in the womb.\nResearchers at the University of Exeter set out to see whether recording the sex of stillborn babies could help to explain why some pregnancies go wrong.\nThey reviewed more than 30 million births globally and found that the risk of stillbirth was around ten per cent higher in boys. This finding was consistent across both high and low-income countries. However, in China and India, the rate of stillbirth was equal in males and females.\nAlthough the reasons for an increased risk to male babies are not known, possible explanations could point to developmental differences in the growth and function of the placenta, or male fetuses being particularly sensitive to environmental factors experienced by the mother - such as obesity or smoking.\nDr Fiona Matthews, lead researcher at the university, said: 'The numbers speak for themselves - the disparity between male and female stillbirth rates is startling. Stillbirth is a common occurrence, even in rich countries with good healthcare systems.\n'Uncovering why male babies are at higher risk could be a first step towards developing new approaches to prevention, including sex-specific management of high-risk pregnancies.'\nExisting schemes have been set in place that can detect when a baby is not growing properly. This early warning system has led to a reduction in the number of stillbirths.\nThe study has been published in the journal BMC Medicine.

The past eight months had been very, very rewarding, and good for our relationship, though it limits me on the time that I can spend on the PC and internet building webpages, but I don't regret any second of it.

It's quite bad, this withdrawal symptoms.\nInterestingly, we've met many people who were shocked at how much time we spend together, as they always claimed that they cannot spend too much time with their spouses as either it'd drive them nuts, and that distance makes the heart grow fonder, or they just need some space. And they always say that we're like that because we're in our honeymoon phase. Hmm, maybe. It's been three years, and I don't think I'll see any signs of slowing down.

He's stuck somewhere between kindergarten and first grade.\nSchool is a struggle for him. He has a language-based learning disability, which affects how long it takes for him to process new information before he can respond.\nWe have safeguards \u2014 classroom accommodations and an Individualized Education Plan, or IEP, a document required by law for students who receive special education \u2014 to keep him on track.\nExcept, that he isn't.\nDesperate to wake him, we begin working through stacks of math and reading materials I amass at home, ones that I found researching teaching approaches designed specifically for kids with language-processing issues.\nI see his potential. With little distraction, we move forward, mastering concepts at our own pace.\nBut at school, his progress remains at a standstill.\nHere's the thing: Undeterred by his lack of progress, my son loves school and rises ready and willing to begin his day. He's a social kid who consumes his world in great detail, even as it comes to him in rapid-fire sequence that he soaks up in slow motion.\nAnd he appears to be content.\nBut even as a fourth-grader, his days are filled with teachable moments followed by mini breaks\u2014movie watching, song singing and walks throughout the long hallways, all rewards for completing a single assignment.\nIn our annual IEP meeting, I request that my son be challenged for longer periods of time and encouraged to struggle through problems to reach a solution.\nI point to Stanford psychology professor Carol Dweck's research on growth mindset, demonstrating the brain's capacity for unlimited potential. The research shows how neurons in the brain can grow new connections when effort is applied. Plus, when students learn that they can actually get smarter and grow new brain cells by trying harder, their test scores improve.\nI bring up recent studies verifying failure as a crucial part of the learning process.\nI contrast the team's strategies to motivate special ed students with approaches used in general education. My older son, for example, was fed a rigorous curriculum punctuated with high expectations that he met with little fanfare.\nAs the meeting wraps up, it's agreed to encourage my son to work harder.\nStudents in general education are required to meet well-defined standards written for grade-specific goals. In special education, there are not set academic standards.\nUnder the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, federal law rules my child's right to a Free Appropriate Public Education, known as FAPE, which includes specific support services outlined in his IEP.\nWithout any incentive to get students in special education at, or near grade-level standards, though, minimal progress is acceptable under FAPE.\nHopefully, what is considered an appropriate education will change as the future of FAPE came to a head in March this year at the Supreme Court. In Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District, the Court ruled unanimously in favor of providing students with disabilities more challenging objectives to establish consistent progress.\nAll kids, despite their differences, are young aspirants and should be encouraged to reach their optimal potential. Creative teaching methods and research-based programs must be coupled with consistent and credible expectations to drive students, no matter what type of learner, to advance academically.\nBut months after the annual IEP meeting, I see no change in my son's ability.\nFrustrated with his lack of achievement and concern for his future, I pull my child from public school in the middle of fifth grade and place him in a specialized learning environment.\nMaybe Teaching Special Ed Doesn't Have To Be So Hard\nAt his new private school, students are not considered special, and therefore not treated as such. High expectations, little distraction and a rigorous curriculum thrust every child forward.\nWith focused, strategic interventions and multi-sensory instruction, he advances two grade levels.\nNow, at the age of fourteen, my son is toiling his way through his education again, after almost two years in the small school for kids with learning differences.\nAnd I have learned that no matter where my child gets his education\u2014intimate environment, at home, spacious public school \u2014that not one place fits all.\nWhich brings me to the day, in the spring of 2016, when my teen is about to start seventh grade and we are touring yet another a potential change in his environment: our local middle school. I believe in a public education and the benefits of inclusion.\nInclusion means my son, despite his learning differences, is placed in a regular ed classroom for the majority of the day, with necessary accommodations.\nInclusion only works as long as the school accepts that all students can be equal participants and are pushed to reach their potential. And, when trained educators are given the support they need to make inclusion successful.\nBaltimore's One Year Plus, as an example, sets goal standards for students with disabilities (who are not severely impaired) at grade level or 12 months behind, with specific academic expectations being met annually.\nAnd a few New York City schools follow a program called ASD NEST, where high-functioning students with Autism work in small, highly specialized teams focused on language and special skills development, but follow grade-level curriculum alongside peers who are typical learners.\nI am looking for a setting where my son will not only continue the headway made in the private school\u2014but a place where he can trek through adolescence, socializing with his peers and participate daily in activities he thrives on like chorus, music and physical education.\nI meet with the district's Director of Special Education. We collaborate on IEP goals that include pushing my teen to work hard and encouraging self-reliance. He will be expected to navigate the campus on his own.\nThe day of the tour, the halls are vacant except for the occasional student or teacher scurrying past. Our guide is an eighth-grade boy from the learning support class. Chatty and confident, he manages his way around the sweeping corridors with ease.\nAt one point, our trio peeks through the window of the band room door. The music teacher waves us in, but we don't want to interrupt. We continue on past the large library and two cafeterias, then step inside the auditorium to watch kids from theater club morph into a wave crashing on stage.\nBefore leaving, classes end and my son and I turn to watch the sea of students fill the halls.\n\"What do you think?\" I ask him. \"It's a pretty big school.\"\nHe hesitates, processing the morning's events before turning to leave. I know he's hungry for music class, chorus, outdoor clubs and groups of kids he can connect to. This is why we are here today.\n\"I think it's pretty cool,\" he says.\nWhich means we're going to give it a try.\nStudy: Holding Kids Back A Grade Doesn't Necessarily Hold Them Back\nThe Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of A Special Education Student",

        "raw_content": "Academic Medical Centers Get An F In Sharing Research Results : Shots - Health News There's no excuse for not reporting all findings within two years of finishing a clinical study, says Yale University's Dr. Harlan Krumholz. He calls on his colleagues to do a better job.\nAcademic Medical Centers Get An F In Sharing Research Results\nWho will check the study results if they aren't made public? Simone Golob/Corbis hide caption\nSimone Golob/Corbis\nWho will check the study results if they aren't made public?\nIn a study powered by the labor of medical students, my colleagues and I found that two-thirds of clinical trials led by scientists at our finest academic institutions didn't share their results publicly within two years of the study's completion.\nMoreover, none of these research institutions has a good record of sharing results. Many are much worse than the average.\nFor all the focus on the need to speed up science for cures, we have a bottleneck at our nation's bastions of research excellence. Too many times, study results are neither reported on the government website dedicated to that purpose, clinicaltrials.gov, nor published in a medical journal.\nOur findings were published Wednesday in The BMJ, formerly the British Medical Journal.\nThe failure to share results is so pervasive that it seems inappropriate to blame individuals. Instead, it is a systemic problem. Academic medicine has fostered a culture in which the sharing of our results is considered discretionary, rather than mandatory. And if researchers decide to pass on sharing, there is no consequence to them.\nNot reporting results violates the basic principle of the scientific method. It hurts patients, society and science. It also dishonors the people who gave their consent and bore the risk of participating in the studies. Who would agree to be in a study with the knowledge that the results wouldn't be shared?\nJournal Editors To Researchers: Show Everyone Your Clinical Data\nIt seems a fair assumption that these studies were worth doing and were designed to generate meaningful information. Academics at leading universities led these studies. Human studies oversight boards at these institutions approved these studies. Given all that, the holding back of the results impedes progress toward scientific breakthroughs, corrupts the medical literature and wastes research funding.\nI am a strong advocate for data sharing and open science. I believe that scientists share data in the spirit of advancing knowledge. But those goals are a step beyond what we are talking about here: simply sharing the results of the research.\nSome people are intent on finding the underlying factors within the culture that has produced this behavior. I have heard people say that they aren't eager to publish results that seem weak or counter to what they believe. Some claim that other responsibilities occupied their time or that they ran out of research funds in the final stages.\nI must admit that I don't care. I don't want to study this problem further. I just want to see it fixed.\nPosting results on clinicaltrials.gov, the government website, could be done in less than an hour. Publishing the results, with or without peer review, could be done if people are determined to do it. Sharing the results is just not that hard and should not be considered optional.\nThe problem isn't new. I first encountered the selective sharing of research findings during my work as an expert for plaintiffs in the Vioxx litigation 10 years ago and we subsequently published an article about it. Before that experience I never imagined that people would conduct human studies and not share results.\nTo investigate this issue further, colleagues and I took a broader look at research and found that this wasn't a problem unique to industry, but was pervasive throughout medicine. In a 2009 study, we were shocked to see that results of only about half of trials were published within four years of study completion.\nOur first reaction was that we couldn't be right. We pored over our results to be sure they were true. We published them with trepidation because despite repeated checks, we still thought that someone would find an error. How could it be so bad?\nAnd yet, our conclusions were true and others soon replicated the findings.\nWhen we published a study that showed even results from studies funded by the National Institutes of Health commonly went unshared, our findings were met by disbelief at NIH until scientists there repeated the study and found the same thing.\nAs these studies emerged, industry began to adopt policies to ensure reporting and publication. But not academic institutions.\nTo zero in on this issue, the most recent study looks specifically at the performance of academic centers.\nI teach at Yale University and one of my students, Ray Chen (now a resident at the University of California, San Francisco), wanted to do a meaningful study as part of his degree. We began talking about researchers not sharing their results. We thought it would be useful to produce a national report card for the leading academic institutions. They are, after all, ultimately responsible for the studies conducted under their auspices.\nWe didn't want to embarrass anyone, but we felt that maybe some stellar performers could help enlighten the others about how to improve.\nThere was only one problem: It would take a lot of work. I mean, a lot of work. There was no easy way to track down the information about study publications without going one by one and searching for them in many different ways.\nRay said that he thought he could recruit other medical students to help. They would have to spend hours tracking down whether studies led by people at the top academic institutions had shared results by reporting them on clinicaltrials.gov or publishing them.\nThe students persevered, knowing that they might be questioning the practices of the powerful. And they were dismayed by what they found.\nWhat should be done about the problem? If I were a funder of research and the recipient academic institution didn't share the results, I would ask for a refund. If I were representing the interests of study participants, I would ask for apologies and forbid future research until there was a plan for sharing all results.\nThere's no excuse for not reporting all results within two years of finishing a study. And, I'd argue, the time should be much shorter. This is about taking science seriously and our commitment to move faster on behalf of patients and society.\nThis is medical research. It is ultimately about providing practical benefit. We have a moral imperative to share what we learn. We need the systems in place that guarantee researchers adhere to the final step of the scientific method and share what they find.\nIn the end, it would be particularly sweet if it were the labor of medical students that led the established researchers to correct their ways.\nHarlan Krumholz is a cardiologist and the Harold H.

        "raw_content": "NY Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan concerned about $15 minimum wage boost\nBy LAURA BOLT and Kenneth Lovett\nState Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan said raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour could hurt businesses. But he didn't rule out adopting the wage increase. (Barry Williams/for New York Daily News)\nState Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan Wednesday expressed reservations about Gov. Cuomo's push to raise the state minimum wage to $15 an hour \u2014 but didn't rule out its adoption.\n\"As we move into this year, the minimum wage is very popular, but the more you ask people about it, the more they have concerns and we will have a very robust discussion on that,\" Flanagan said at a Crain's New York breakfast in Manhattan.\nThe current $8.75 an hour minimum wage is set to jump to $9 an hour at the end of the year. Cuomo wants to hike it even further next year with a multi-year phase in to $15 an hour.\nFlanagan (R-Suffolk County) argues doing so could hurt businesses and also lead to job losses for the very people the hike is meant to help.\nPOLL SHOWS MAJORITY OF VOTERS SUPPORT ANDREW CUOMO'S CALL FOR MINIMUM WAGE\n\"It's not as simple as just saying, 'raise the minimum wage,'\" he said. \"There are many other effects that go with it, some of it federal, some of it state and all of it worth discussion.\"\nCuomo, at the urging of some business groups, said he is open to providing a tax break for small businesses who would be affected by a minimum wage increase.\nFlanagan took no position on whether that would make it easier for his conference to accept.\nHe did, however, come out strongly against Cuomo's recent use of a board to bypass the Legislature to raise the minimum wage for fast-food workers.\n\"I think that was executive overreach,\" Flanagan said.\nGov. Cuomo is pushing to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. (Spencer Platt/Getty Images)\nCUOMO OPEN TO TAX CUT FOR BUSINESSES TO OFFSET COST FROM $15 MINIMUM WAGE\nOn another issue, Flanagan said that he supports mayoral control of Big Apple schools, but wants to hear directly from de Blasio at a Senate public hearing on the subject before the Senate will act to extend the law that is set to expire again in June.\n\"It's obviously being renewed and the mayor wants to make it permanent, we're going to ask a bunch of tough questions,\" Flanagan said.\nA de Blasio spokesman dismissed Flanagan's comments as \"evasion and politicking.\"\n\"Mayor de Blasio has personally made that case before the state Legislature, and repeatedly expressed his willingness to make it again,\" the spokesman said.\nFlanagan, meanwhile, also said his conference will push a law to cap New York City property tax increases at no more than 2%, something governments and schools outside the city have been subjected to since 2011.\nThe city opposes the measure, with a de Blasio spokeswoman saying it would \"cost the city billions, resulting in severe cuts to vital services such as public safety and education.\"\nFlanagan also said the city is likely going to have to significantly up its funding of the MTA, though he did not say by how much.\nFlanagan denied the GOP is making de Blasio twist on the different issues because he has worked to help the Democrats win back control of the Senate.",

(HBO) JACK THE GIANT SLAYER (2013) In Bryan Singer\u2019s retooling of the \u201cJack and the Beanstalk\u201d tale, a chivalrous farmhand (Nicholas Hoult) fights for a kingdom and the love of an abducted princess (Eleanor Tomlinson), reigniting an ancient war between humans and a race of giants. Bill Nighy plays General Fallon, the leader of the cannibalistic brotherhood in an otherworld called Gantua; Ewan McGregor, above, in Errol Flynn mode, plays a knight who almost becomes finger food; and Stanley Tucci is the shifty fellow to whom the royal lass has been promised. \u201cFor its first 90 minutes, \u2018Jack the Giant Slayer\u2019 is painlessly diverting,\u201d Manohla Dargis wrote in The New York Times. \u201cThe visual design for the giants and the beanstalks keeps your eyes busy, even when the story sets your mind to wandering.\u201d Still, she added, \u201cin the metaphorically rich original tale, a boy wakes to discover he\u2019s produced a mighty stalk. Here, the boy is now a man, and while the stalk is still impressive, the movie just doesn\u2019t have staying power.\u201d\nNOON (Encore, Starz) MANDELA (1996) Three films pay tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela, starting with this Oscar-nominated documentary, by Angus Gibson and Jo Menell. It traces his life from his childhood to his anti-apartheid work, through his years in prison and eventual election as president of South Africa. \u201cMandela and de Klerk\u201d (1997), at 2 p.m., starring Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine, chronicles the legalization of the African National Congress by President F. W. de Klerk in 1990 and the release of Mr. Mandela from prison. In \u201cAmandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony\u201d (2002), at 4, the director Lee Hirsch examines the role of music in the struggle against apartheid, with footage like that of Mr. Mandela with the A.N.C choir, above.\n8 P.M. (Lifetime) CHRISTMAS ON THE BAYOU (2013) Katherine (Hilarie Burton), a divorced New York marketing executive, and her jaded son (Brody Rose) return for the holidays to her hometown in Louisiana, where her mother (Markie Post) makes it her mission to play matchmaker. But when a childhood admirer (Tyler Hilton) tries to rekindle their romance and persuade Katherine to move back, she can\u2019t quite bring herself to trade the bright lights of the big city for a quieter existence. That is, until the mysterious Papa Noel (Ed Asner, above) intervenes. In \u201cA Snow Globe Christmas\u201d (2013), at 10, a frazzled television executive (Alicia Witt), after being bonked on the head by a snow globe, ends up in her holiday movie, married to a handsome woodworker (Donald Faison) and with two children.\n8 P.M.

Shortly after, Mr. Clarett\u2019s career became mired in N.C.A.A. investigations and a plea deal on robbery and other charges that resulted in a prison sentence. In 2011, another scandal brought Mr. Tressel\u2019s career to an end.\n9 P.M. (CUNY) THE LADY WITH THE DOG (1962) In this Soviet-era film, directed by Josef Heifitz and based on a short story by Chekhov, a man (Alexei Batalov) and a woman (Iya Savvina) in unhappy marriages meet at a seaside resort and have an affair before returning to their hometowns. But then he longs to see her again. \u201cFilmed in 1960 to commemorate the centenary of Anton Chekhov\u2019s birth, \u2018The Lady With the Dog\u2019 does him full honor,\u201d a 1962 review in The Times said. Cleaving to Chekhov\u2019s \u201cclassic style, it should prove a delight to his admirers since it speaks quietly but with eloquence and compassion of the frustrations of Czarist Russia\u2019s uneasy middle class.\u201d\n11:30 P.M.

        "raw_content": "\u200b Things were not easy for my grandmother. World War II was up close and personal for her. She had friends and relatives who not just served on the front lines but who also worked 24/7 helping the troops. While in her 7th month of pregnancy, D-day happened. The worries that consumed her for not just the baby in her stomach, but the future of her son and daughter would be totally acceptable.\nBut, even these concerns are minor compared to her day to day living. A mother can\u2019t help the affairs of the world, but what she can do something about is being as good of a mother as possible. Moms always want more for their children than they had. And, for all intents and purposes, her children so far did. Her mother was so abusive, sometimes beating her to a pulp, and would be something she never passed on. Poverty was not new to her. The only riches she knew was her \u201cSunday\u201d outfit which she could describe in detail. Her grandparents took her in as one of their own and allowed her to wear her \u201cSunday\u201d clothes on not just Sundays, but also Saturday nights, as long as she promised not to move so as not to wrinkle them.\nIn 1944, gas was $0.15 a gallon and yet, I\u2019m not even sure her and my grandfather, Joseph Dunton, owned a car. It\u2019s possible, but not likely. My grandfather worked on the line at Mack Trucks in Allentown, PA. It was not unionized until around 1950, so before that he worked long, hard hours with little pay and no benefits. Still, I\u2019m sure he was happy to have that job since he was a second generation English immigrant with very little, if any, education.\nNo newborn pictures were taken of my dad. A huge indication as to the status of their finances. And, if pictures were not taken, what did life for my grandparents look like?\n\u200b She probably wore her hair something like this:\nWith Sunday fashion - her best clothes:\nSince my grandfather worked with hands, he probably wore something similar to this:\nAnd, I wouldn\u2019t have to travel too far into my imagination to picture them both very addicted to cigarettes.\nGasoline was rationed during the war, but like I said before, I\u2019m not too sure that would have affected their family. Even if they did have a car, my grandfather worked and lived in Allentown. But, coffee, on the other hand was rationed to just one pound every five weeks. I\u2019m not sure how they felt about it, but it definitely would have sucked. Meat was another item that was severely restricted during the war. This war meant that everyone pitched in, even if pitching in meant not having everyday items we take so for granted. My grandmother once told me she felt honored to go without those things. It meant she was involved in the war just like everyone else.\nIt was a Wednesday night in the middle of August, when my grandmother began to feel contractions. It was a comfort but also the worst pain she ever felt in her life. Not because contractions are painful, but because she was about to give birth to a baby she felt absolutely no life from. No first flutters. No middle of the night tumbling in her stomach. She went nine whole months of pregnancy and felt absolutely nothing from the baby she was carrying. There was always the hope she would deliver the baby early. But, that didn't happen.\nInstead, she felt like she was being punished to be carrying a baby who barely grew and showed no signs of life. She was 19. She would be turning 20 within the week. She already had a 4 year old and 1 year old. She knew what pregnancy felt like. She knew what it was like to give birth to a healthy baby. She had no idea what was going to happen this night.\nShe was 100% certain this baby was dead. The technology we take advantage of today was not available to her. Here she laid with her mom right by her side. Her mom delivered all her babies. She was a very skilled midwife in a time where everyone gave birth at home. Delivery babies which were stillborn was not new to her. She knew exactly what to do.\u200b\nAfter 12 very difficult hours, the time had come. She felt the urge to push and push she did. Pushing for what seemed like another 12 hours but in reality was only an hour, the baby emerged. Her wasn\u2019t blue like she thought. Her first thought was probably joy in having another little boy. Her second thought was he\u2019s not dead, but he\u2019s not crying. My great-grandmother laid this little baby boy on her chest and he just stared at her with eyes wide open. She screamed and cried. He was alive. She had her husband brought in and they cried together. Their baby was a miracle. His birthday would be August 17, 1944. His name would be Wayne Russell Dunton. Her step-dad\u2019s name was Russell and the irony of this is not lost. He would never reach his 44th birthday. But, they didn\u2019t know that then. All they knew is he was supposed to be here.",

        "raw_content": "News > Press Releases 2019 > The reaction of the Czech Ombudswoman Anna \u0160abatov\u00e1 on the attempts of the President to interfere with the independence of the judiciary\nThe former President of the Supreme Administrative Court of the Czech Republic, Josef Baxa, recently informed the public about attempts of the President Milo\u0161 Zeman to influence the decision-making of the above mentioned court. Josef Baxa gave an interview to Den\u00edk N in which he stated, among other things: \"Subsequently he (the President) started to namet the list of my so-called sins, meaning specific court decisions he did not like. ... And when I opposed that the judges are independent and so on he repeatedly responded by saying: You are the boss, you have to arrange it.\"\nThe Ombudswoman Anna \u0160abatov\u00e1 decided to react on this disturbing information by a statement: \"It is always necessary to stand up against the efforts of the executive power to interfere with the independence of the courts. I therefore very much appreciate the openness with which JUDr. Josef Baxa spoke about his experiences and informed the public about the hidden pressure some judges are exposed to. It is the key role of the presidents of the courts to resist such pressure and protect individual judges from interference with their independence. Independent courts are one of the cornerstones of a democratic state governed by the rule of law.\"\nEqually disturbing information was given by the statement of the judge of the Constitutional Court Vojtech \u0160im\u00ed\u010dek for the weekly Respekt.",

See video transcription below \u2013\n\u201cIn terms of auricular acupuncture, which is also known as ear acupuncture, that can be used for quite a few different types of conditions, most namely smoking sensation. The NADA protocol that\u2019s utilized for acupuncture can help someone in terms of helping with the jitters, the cravings that they get, helping their body detox the nicotine. It can also be utilized for other types of conditions such as weight loss. In terms of the auricular acupuncture, and logistical aspect of the treatment, it\u2019s very easy to approach and to access for a practitioner. And so someone could be laying down without having to disrobe, and be able to place a few points and be able to treat the entire body from the ear. The ear is like a fuse box in a building, meaning, all the wiring runs through it. So you can treat your body from head to toe, aches and pains and internal organ-wise, with the ear. You can treat things from high blood pressure to digestive issues to whether it\u2019s knee pain, there\u2019s, I guess the possibilities are quite vast in just that type of approach. It\u2019s usually utilized in more of a community-style setting. Community-style acupuncture is where it\u2019s more semi-private. You\u2019re more in an open room, and so that allows for much higher efficiency in terms of cost. So the treatments are generally cheaper, and it\u2019s more of a setting to utilize, or I should say be utilized as a high frequency, versus maybe a semi-private treatment approach.\u201d\nIf you are interested in meeting with us, you can book a free consultation with our schedule appointment tool or you can give us a call.",

Interestingly, this book is allowed to be freely circulated and we may also print it and sell it at a cost covering the cost of print. This book makes an elegant read for the current R versions, although it was written when the R version was in the early 1.x versions. Faraway (2006) is an extended version which considers the generalized linear models, which we deal with in Chapter 17. Fox (2002) deals with regression problems in both R and S-plus. Sheather (2009) is also a very recent account of the use of R for analysis of linear models, and SAS users will also find it easier to use this book as it also gives parallel programs. Ritz and Streibig (2008) is dedicated to the applications of nonlinear regression models using R.\nThe covariates are also sometimes called explanatory variables, or regressors, or predictors. In general the covariate is an independent variable. The output is called a regressand.\nA rather long route is adapted in this chapter. The reasons are two-fold.

        "raw_content": "Boulez's last opera\nTim Ashley reviews Janacek's From the House of the Dead at Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam in today's Guardian - This new production of From the House of the Dead is a momentous achievement, although it also arouses conflicting feelings. It marks the resumption, after 28 years, of the collaboration between Pierre Boulez and Patrice Ch\u00e9reau, whose work together in the 1970s changed the way we thought about music theatre.\nThis is the first Janacek opera Boulez has conducted - and also the last, since he has declared his intention of conducting no further operas in the theatre. The pair's choice of work is telling. Janacek's Dostoevsky-inspired examination of life in a Siberian labour camp is radical, politically and musically. It rages against human brutality, yet demands we acknowledge the presence of what Janacek calls \"the spark of God\" in every being. It also undermines every assumption about operatic structure. There is little plot, and no dominant protagonists. Janacek reveals the divine fire in man through the tales, real or imagined, that the prisoners tell one another in order to give their lives meaning in a world where hope has vanished.\nCh\u00e9reau transposes the opera to a 20th-century gulag that is also a vision of hell. The vast concrete funnel of Richard Peduzzi's set resembles the pit of Dante's Inferno, where we first encounter the convicts circling and shuffling like the damned. Only gradually do the cast - faultless down to the last extra - reveal the existential integrity of each man, and by the end we are completely immersed in their lives, their dreams and their overwhelming despair.\nWith the Mahler Chamber Orchestra in the pit, Boulez unleashes rending dissonances that fill the air with pain and compassion. Harrowing, unforgettable and one of the great Janacek interpretations of our time.\n\u00b7 At the Aix-en-Provence festival, July 16-22. Details: http://www.festival-aix.com/.\nNow read how Shostakovich's persecutor finally spoke out.\nPosted by Pliable at Monday, June 04, 2007\nLabels: amsterdam, het muzietheater, leos janacek, mahler chamber orchestra, opera, patrice chereau, pierre boulez, richard peduzzi\nAnd here was little me waiting for Boulez's first opera! [once rumored to be based upon Jean Genet's The Maids.]\nZimmerman,Stockhausen,Berio,Nono,\nMessiaen... even Cage and Carter finally got around to writing their first operas, but not Boulez (unless I missed something).\nFor Janacek - Boulez fans, there exists on a Chicago Symphony Orchestra \"Tribute\" series a recording of Janacek Glagolitic Mass which Boulez conducted in 95 in Chicago. (http://www.cso.org/main.taf?p=4,1,3,7,2\u220fuctid=15422). Highly recommended. To my knowledge, this is Boulez's only recording of Janacek. It is supposed to be close to the original score with the Intrada done at beginning and end of the work. It is a sharp reading which shows how colorful, powerful and crude Janacek's orchestration is. The rest of the set is of great quality, save perhaps for a suprisingly low on humor Till Eulenspiegel. The Janack is worth the set by itself.\nDrew80 said...\nAre there any plans for Deutsche Grammophon to record Boulez conducting this work? The old Mackerras recording is magnificent, but a new recording would be welcome, I believe.\nI have always believed \"From The House Of The Dead\" to be Janacek's greatest work. It is a scandal that it has never received a staged performance in the United States. When the Amsterdam production travels to New York in a year or two, to be presented under Salonen at the Met, the work will, at long last, receive a staging here.\nI made an error which I would like to correct.\n\"From The House Of The Dead\" received its American stage premiere in 1990, when it was mounted by New York City Opera.\nDrew, Charles Mackerras also led concert performances of the work with the New York Philharmonic and Chorus, and soloists, in the winter/spring of 1983. I attended New York performances in both 1983 and 1990. I recall that the New York Philharmonic prepared a beautiful free, souvenir booklet of the libretto in 1983.\nIt is beyond my belief that the work has never been produced in Washington, D.C. or in San Francisco (or elsewhere in the U.S.). There were several European productions of the opera in the 1980s and 1990s. I don't know whether the work has been produced in Canada.\nYou may be thinking of Rafael Kubelik, who in the early 1980's conducted the New York Philharmonic in a concert performance of \"From The House Of The Dead\".\nYes, it was Kubelik who conducted the March 1983 New York Philharmonic concert performances of \"From The House Of The Dead\".\nThose performances were billed as the American premiere of the full score, according to a contemporaneous article in the New York Times.\nThank you for the research and correction. Yes, Rafael Kubelik it must have been.",

Bear in mind that work began on Deep Blue in 1985, when computers were still in their infancy, and the computers of those long ago days had a mere fraction of the power that today\u2019s machines boast. Watson takes advantage of this massive leap in capability and has been given access to Very Large Data sets which are frequently terabytes in size.\nIBM has used Watson\u2019s big, electronic brain in a number of ways, but this holiday season the company has something new for the consuming public: A shopping app called the \u201cIBM Watson Trend App\u201d available for free from Apple\u2019s App Store.\nOnce you download and install the app, you get the results of Watson\u2019s Big Data number crunching. While you\u2019ve been making holiday preparations, Watson has been reading millions of comments on Facebook and other social media, in addition to a variety of discussion forums all over the web in order to collect data on what\u2019s trending and hot this year.\nAs you might expect of the machine that beat two of the biggest all time Jeopardy winners in a match televised in 2011, Watson\u2019s programming is highly complex. It combines machine learning with natural language and pattern recognition to not only gain a sense for what\u2019s popular in human culture, but also to make predictions about what will be popular in the months ahead.\nDownloading the app gives you real time updates as Watson continues to sift through the data it mines from millions of online conversations. It\u2019s well worth a look, both for its shopping insights for this holiday season and as an exciting glimpse for what the future holds regarding AI and how we can use it to get more and better information from the Very Large Data Sets we are busily collecting.",

        "raw_content": "End of free movement makes Welsh work permits critical\nThe end of European freedom of movement in the British State makes allowing the Welsh Government to issue Welsh work visas critical, Hywel Williams has said.\nThe British Government\u2019s immigration Minister, Brandon Lewis, suggested today that UK-EU freedom of movement will end in 2019.\nPlaid Cymru has called for the Welsh Government to be given responsibility for issuing a share of the UK\u2019s visas to ensure skills shortages in Wales are plugged.\nUnder Plaid Cymru\u2019s proposals, the Welsh Government would be responsible for issuing a population-based share of the UK\u2019s visas based on filling the skills gap. Wales\u2019 share of the UK population is estimated to be 4.7% according to latest estimates from the Office for National Statistics.\nPlaid Cymru remains committed to keeping Wales in the Single Market and Customs Union through membership of the European Economic Area.\nCommenting, Plaid Cymru\u2019s Brexit spokesperson, Hywel Williams said:\n\u201cWestminster\u2019s \u2018one-size-fits-all\u2019 approach to immigration policy is failing Wales and our skills shortage is limiting our ability to provide decent jobs and wages and is preventing our country and its people from reaching their potential.\n\u201cWales already has a severe shortage of doctors and nurses for example - we are already reliant on skilled migrants from the EU and elsewhere to sustain the health service. In the long term we must train and recruit from our own workforce but in the short and medium term, we have no choice but to rely on skilled immigration and thanks to continued neglect from the Labour Welsh Government, refusing to invest in training Welsh medics, we are more reliant than we should be on attracting skills from other countries.\n\u201cYou cannot have a one size fits all approach to immigration. While one in six people in England are international migrants, 96% of people in Wales are from the British Isles. The Welsh economy has significant skills gaps in certain sectors while England has different needs.\n\u201cBy allowing London to determine Welsh migration policy, we risk having an immigration policy designed to meet the needs of the City of London and the financial services sector at the expense of Wales.\n\u201cThe solution is for the Welsh Government to create a skills shortage occupation register and issue work permits reflecting those shortages.\n\u201cThe Welsh Government should be allowed to issue its share of UK visas, based on our relative population. Overall it would not affect the number of people coming to the British State but it would ensure that Wales is able to plug the skills gap in its economy.\n\u201cPlaid Cymru will do everything it can to keep Wales in the Single Market and Customs Union through continued membership of the European Economic Area once we leave the European Union, but whether the British Government succeeds in ending free movement or not, it is right that the Welsh Government takes control over issuing its share of work permits. It is clear that Westminster has little concern for the Welsh economy so it is up to us in Wales to look after ourselves.\u201d\nBrexit Westminster",

Regardless of the dispute between the various powers over who was responsible, Plaid Cymru condemns all such attacks on civilians, and also the less widely reported deaths of civilians from conventional weapons. The only solution to reduce and then end this violence is to bring about a comprehensive peace process, requiring the buy-in of the United States and Russia, and the other countries which have intervened in Syria. The future of President Assad and his regime should be decided by this mutually agreed peace process.\nPlaid Cymru notes that several of the regional and global powers have already intervened in Syria. At least four states have conducted bombing campaigns on Syria, and several others are involved in sponsoring proxies and militias. This is a conflict already defined by substantial outside intervention.\nThe role of the UK should therefore be to contribute to a diplomatic solution. Plaid Cymru MPs stand ready to discuss any proper peace plan at Westminster and would support any UK efforts to facilitate diplomacy, whilst being aware that any solution is likely to require the consent of the United States and Russia. Plaid Cymru, as is the party\u2019s consistent position, does not support the UK joining military action in Syria. In the absence of a proper plan, such action would only fan the flames of war and prevent the warring sides from being reconciled.\nThe international community has a responsibility to forge a diplomatic solution and produce a route map to peace.\nWestminster syria",

But if yesterday\u2019s session was any indication, they will strike down affirmative action programs.\nThis will have enormous implications for diversity on campuses nationwide with wider ramifications in all areas of life.\nThe remarks of several justices, dripping with white supremacy, should disqualify them from the Court. Instead they will rule on the future of affirmative action in higher education.\nTheir unabashed comments should alarm democratically minded people. They raise the stakes immensely of the 2016 outcome including electing a president who will probably nominate future justices and U.S. Senate that must confirm them.\nAs the New York Times wrote, \u201cIn a remark that drew muted gasps in the courtroom, Justice Antonin Scalia said that minority students with inferior academic credentials may be better off at \u201ca less advanced school, a slower-track school where they do well.\u201d\n\u201cI don\u2019t think it stands to reason that it\u2019s a good thing for the University of Texas to admit as many blacks as possible,\u201d he added.\nOr this gem from Chief Justice John Roberts: \u201cWhat unique perspective does a minority student bring to a physics class?\u201d\nRendering a decision to strike down affirmative action programs would be a giant step backward to the infamous \u201cseparate but equal\u201d doctrine of the nation\u2019s highest court in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. That decision ushered in the Jim Crow era until the Brown v. Board Ruling overthrew it in 1954.\nIn essence it would legally sanction near total segregation at the nation\u2019s public universities and colleges. It would join other outrages of the court like legally sanctioning voter suppression.\nTo justify the ruling, the court majority will have to willfully ignore everything happening in the country today, the existence of deeply institutionalized racism and bias embedded in the fabric of economic, government and social life.\nUT Austin President Greg Fenves expressed these concerns in an editorial in the Wall Street Journal. He wrote, \u201cIn this suddenly charged environment, two things are clear. First, race continues to matter in American life. It affects individuals and communities. Second, educating students in an environment as diverse as the United States is one of the most effective ways to ensure that all students succeed in, and contribute to, the real world when they leave campus.\u201d\nAffirmative action measures recognize the fact of institutional racism, the history of bias and its impact on admissions, employment, promotion, housing, health care, education funding and the resulting inferior quality of life for people of color. They are remedial efforts to address these biases.\nThe consequences of dwindling enrollment of African Americans in higher education resulted in the explosion of student activism at the Mizzou campus in November that forced the resignation of the University of Missouri President Tim Wolf and Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin. The decline in student and faculty diversity was coupled with blindness toward the special problems African American students faced and an increase in racist incidents that went unchallenged.\nIn response to the protests, the university agreed among other things to put in place a mechanism to ensure greater student and faculty diversity!\nProof that affirmative action is an effective redress to institutionalized racism is not hard to see. The Times showed that in nearly every instance African American student enrollment declined in states that had banned affirmative action programs, sometimes sharply.\n\u201cAs we\u2019ve seen from tragic events around the country, it\u2019s never been more important for people of different backgrounds to interact and better understand each other,\u201d said Ade Henderson, CEO of the Leadership Conference of Civil and Human Rights.\n\u201cColleges and universities should serve as safe, diverse spaces that help all students appreciate the power in our nation\u2019s diversity,\u201d he said. \u201cThe University of Texas at Austin\u2019s carefully crafted admissions policy has already been upheld multiple times, and is designed to create the diverse learning environments that are critical to both the educational success of our students and to our nation\u2019s economic prosperity.\u201d\nOne can only imagine the shape of the future U.S. Supreme Court were a President Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, or Carson to make nominations, and the kinds of things that will come from their mouths and pens.\nPhoto: Supreme Court Justices. | Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP",

        "title": "2018 Honda Accord \u2013 A Fun Family Sedan - Performance Plus Tire",
        "raw_content": "You Are Here: Home \u00bb Blog \u00bb 2018 Honda Accord \u2013 A Fun Family Sedan\nMid-size sedans are most-often described with words like \u201cho hum\u201d or \u201cboring,\u201d with appropriately \u201cdead\u201d handling and \u201cappliance-like\u201d performance. Still, drivers find it hard to simply rubber-stamp the 2018 Honda Accord with those same epithets, all thanks to Honda engineers\u2019 determination to put some enjoyment back into the ride. Add in some new technology and safety packages, and the 2018 Honda Accord makes for a more-than-acceptable stepping-stone, something interesting to do after stepping out of a hot hatch toy Honda Civic, but not so large as the soccer-mom biker-dad Honda Odyssey.\nWith three powertrain options, the 2018 Honda Accord aims to please, whether you\u2019re looking for a thrifty commuter, fun weekender, or something in between. All three variants are equipped with turbocharged four-cylinder engines, a 1.5-liter in the 1.5T EX, or a 2.0-liter in the 2.0T Sport and 2.0T Touring. The 192-horsepower 192 lb\u2022ft-torque 1.5 takes over for the outgoing naturally-aspirated 2.4, yet outperforms it in every way: more power, more torque, and more miles per gallon. Similarly, the 252-horsepower 273 lb\u2022ft-torque 2.0 takes over for the outgoing naturally-aspirated 3.5-liter V6, slightly less powerful but slightly more torquey. Interestingly, the 2.0 is a redesigned version of the hot-hatch Honda Civic Type R\u2019s 306-horsepower engine, right at home under the hood of the Accord.\nThree transmission options are available, depending on the model, and they\u2019re all perfectly suited. The 2018 Honda Accord 1.5T is mated to a CVT (continuously-variable transmission). Drivers note is always seems to be in the right range, never intruding in the driving experience. The new CVT features an initial gear ratio 11% higher than previous versions, making a little more aggressive off the line. Purists will likely opt for the 2.0T, which is available with a six-speed manual transmission (Accord Sport) or ten-speed automatic transmission (Accord Touring). Either way you go, these are well-tuned transmissions, the six-speed offering a more fun and direct drive, while the ten-speed eliminates shifting and limits gear hunting. The 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid, unfortunately, hasn\u2019t changed at all under the hood, but still offers almost double fuel economy, compared to the rest of the lineup.\nDesigners have given the 2018 Honda Accord a bit more character this year: longer wheelbase, shorter overhangs, and a strong character. Other changes have lightened the new Accord by up to 176 pounds, and a lot of new NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) tricks, such as structural adhesives, fluid-filled bushings, and a floating rear subframe, have quieted things substantially. The interior has been updated, for a more modern and upscale feel. Soft-touch materials swath the dash, and new front seat cushions feature variable-density foam, for more comfort. In an interesting design paradox, both rear legroom and trunk space have been increased.\nApt for the times, the 2018 Honda Accord comes with a bevy of standard and optional technology features. Standard, across the lineup, is Honda Sensing, including safety features such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, lane keeping, and traffic-sign recognition. The 2017 Honda Accord was an IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) Top Safety Pick, but ratings for the 2018 model weren\u2019t available at the time of writing this article. Available HondaLink telematics includes diagnostic, safety, and convenience features, such as roadside assistance, remote check engine light diagnostics, and vehicle tracking.\nTruly, matching the needs of the modern mid-size sedan driver cannot be an easy task, particularly when price and performance is weighted against technology and emissions goals, and yet the 2018 Honda Accord is one of the most well-balanced on the market. For this balance, this sedan deserves a second look.",

Paris, France.\nA group show that brings together works by ten international artists from Latin America with a selection of works on paper that are part of a project with exhibitions in both London and Budapest. KALEIDOSCOPE lays out Latin American artists' standpoints and aims to make them visible to the spectator not through constructed stereotype of otherness, but instead proposes an immersion into these artists' own perspectives with universal language influenced by their own contexts.\n#sneakpeeks Kaleidoscope, July 2017, Paris.\nOmar Arcega\nKALEIDOSCOPE aims to share contemporary works by Latin American artists on a global scale. With Latino culture thriving in Paris, it is both relevant and meaningful to present this diversified population in an honestly delightful form. Latin American artists are not the \u201cexotic\u201d stereotype that the media and social outlets make them out to be, but rather are global contemporary artists from a country in Latin America. Breaking down stereotypes and revealing the universal art made by such a population is important in the context of Europe. Some of the works on paper have therefore been on view in prior exhibitions in both London and most recently in Budapest at K.A.S Gallery. This is an opportunity to merge two thriving cultures, that of France and of Latin American countries.\nOur target audience are not only Latin Americans, but contrarily the entire public as a means to educate against stereotypes and delight the senses through paper forms. We invite those who are engaged with the arts, and those who aren't. Given the universal language used by these Latin American artists, the audience is diversified and limitless. Placing such an exhibition in Paris will draw in students, professionals, tourists and locals.\nKALEIDOSCOPE is a group show that brings together works by ten international artists from Latin America with a selection of works on paper that are part of a project with exhibitions in both London and Budapest.\nKALEIDOSCOPE lays out Latin American artists' standpoints and aims to make them visible to the spectator not through constructed stereotype of otherness, but instead proposes an immersion into these artists' own perspectives with universal language influenced by their own contexts.\nKALEIDOSCOPE focuses on works that use paper as a means to express their individuality. Like a kaleidoscope, viewers are invited to observe the artwork through a lense that mirrors the variety of facets of Latin American art, beyond the expected and biased societal stereotypes such as cultural heritage. The paper, as a medium, allows for such exploration of different perspectives.\nParallel Programme:\nSaturday 8 \u2022 July\nRound Table Discussion \u2013 interactive discussion with the artists, curators and viewers regarding subjects on the impact of Latin American art practices\nArtistic Practices in Latin America and Europe.\n\u2022 Pedro Varela, Brazilian artist about his work in Latin America;\n\u2022 Tania L\u00f3pez, Mexican artist working in London about working abroad;\n\u2022 Alejandro M.

Of course, if you don\u2019t have a personal auto policy, you\u2019ll need to purchase coverage from the rental company.\nAnd keep in mind that in the event of an accident, many rental companies will charge fees beyond repair costs.

At Porchlight, we work hard to make our clients\u2019 brands and products the hero \u2013 in store, online, in print and in conversation.

He has over 25 years of experience in the creative industry, particularly in the national retail sector. He was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and studied Advertising-PR at the University of Central Florida.\nWhen he wasn\u2019t studying, Greg worked full-time at The Home Depot to pay his way through school by pushing carts and working on the sales floor. From an early age, his dad instilled in him the value of working hard, doing things right the first time, and being a leader.\nAfter school, Greg earned a senior internship at a small advertising agency, where he was inspired by the art director\u2019s ability to bring ideas and concepts to life. He went on to his first job as a graphic designer for The Home Depot in their Advertising and Marketing department in Tampa, Florida. As a strong layout artist with a passion for creative conceptualizing, he was soon promoted to lead designer and, shortly thereafter, to creative supervisor at Home Depot\u2019s Atlanta headquarters to work on national-level projects involving the Olympics and NASCAR.\nAfter ten years at Home Depot, Greg wanted a new challenge and moved on to an eight-month stint at Newell-Rubbermaid as Art Director of their Commercial Cleaning Division. However, they soon relocated the division, and Greg wasn\u2019t ready to move to Virginia. He decided to freelance using his industry contacts and eventually had too much work to handle on his own.\nUsing his dining room as an office, Greg sought the help of a graphic designer friend. That soon grew to two designer friends, and it was clear the dining room office just wasn\u2019t going to work out anymore. He rented his first office space, a multiple-room area in an aging office complex, and Porchlight was born.\nAcquiring more and more clients through word-of-mouth, he soon hired another designer as well as a project manager. This was a key time in Porchlight\u2019s history, as Greg saw his once patchwork freelance team form into a legitimately stable five-person company. Fifteen years later, Porchlight handles everything from packaging to brand identity to digital media and is committed to creating product, brand and informational experiences for consumers.\nInitially, Greg started Porchlight because he saw a real opportunity to help brand owners get their product on the shelf and show that there\u2019s a market for it, especially for mid-range and challenger brands. He wanted an agency made up of big talent and friendly people who use their experience, skills and creativity to help clients succeed in the fast-paced and ever-changing retail world. He\u2019s been on both the brand and retail sides of the home improvement business and understands what his clients need versus how the design should look. This deep involvement has led to partnerships with The Home Depot, Yamaha, Husky, Genie and RIDGID, and he\u2019s constantly working to build sustainable, working relationships with clients and colleagues.\nFrom Porchlight\u2019s inception, Greg\u2019s mantra has always been about working hard and bringing your best self to work every day. He wants every person at Porchlight to take pride in their work. In his opinion, there\u2019s no substitute for focus, determination and a little elbow grease.\nGreg finds inspiration in the design community at large, as well as his daily interaction with family and friends. He resides in a constantly-being-remodeled Craftsman bungalow in the heart of Atlanta with his wife Amber, daughter Vivian, son Oliver, and dog Ruthie.\nMEDIUM BIO, MEET GREG COREY\nGreg is the founder and principal of Porchlight, an Atlanta-based design agency rooted in retail.

As a strong layout artist with a passion for creative conceptualizing, Greg was soon promoted to lead designer and, shortly thereafter, to national Creative Supervisor in Atlanta to work on projects at a national level with NASCAR and the Olympics.\nAfter ten years at Home Depot, Greg moved on to an 8-month stint at Newell-Rubbermaid as art director of their Commercial Cleaning Division. However, they soon relocated the division, and Greg wasn\u2019t ready to move to Virginia. He decided to freelance using his industry contacts and eventually had too much work to handle on his own.\nGreg started Porchlight because he saw an opportunity to help brand owners get their product on the shelf and show there\u2019s a market for it, especially for mid-range and challenger brands. He wanted an agency made up of big talent and friendly people who use their experience, skills and creativity to help clients succeed in the fast-paced and ever-changing retail world. He\u2019s been on both the brand and retail sides of the home improvement business and understands what his clients need versus how the design should look. This deep involvement has led to partnerships with The Home Depot, Yamaha, Husky, Genie and RIDGID, just to name a few.\nGreg finds inspiration in the design community at large, as well as his daily interaction with family and friends. He resides in the heart of Atlanta with his wife Amber, daughter Vivian, son Oliver, and dog Ruthie.\nSHORT BIO, MEET GREG COREY\nGreg is the founder and principal of Porchlight, an Atlanta-based design agency rooted in retail. He has over 25 years of experience in the creative industry, particularly in the retail sector, and has worked with an impressive array of clients, including The Home Depot, Newell-Rubbermaid, Yamaha, Husky, Genie, RIDGID, NASCAR and the Olympics.\nWhat does it take to be successful in retail?\nHow will product packaging evolve?\nWhy do products need to be sold twice?\nWhat has made Porchlight successful?\nHow do you manage the creative process?\nWhat are the biggest mistakes brand managers make when working with creative design firms?\nHow do you get and stay inspired?\nHow do you create a brand with meaning?\nWhy is it important that I know whether my brand is male or female?\nHow do you know whether you should you rebrand or refresh your brand?\nWhat are some cost efficient ways to rebrand without doing a total overhaul?",

The Caravan embodies a long tradition of traveling theatrical productions with their combination of innovative stylistic staging, imaginative music and dance, and colorful entertaining themes. The shows are all original productions expressing the issues and concerns of people inhabiting the environment of the 21st century.\nOne of the most unique aspects to this theatre is that all of the performances are done aboard a 100-foot long, 90-foot tall ship, which serves as their stage.\n\u201cThe uniqueness of the Caravan is unmatched in the region and we are privileged to be the host site of these fascinating performances,\u201d said Michael Folsom, ABM Director of Marketing & Communications. \u201cNowhere else will you find the opportunity to enjoy a summer evening along the water\u2019s edge while being caught up in an exciting performance with music, lights, and aerial acrobatics. By bringing this show to the Museum, we are able to serve a different form of cultural importance in the North Country, while combining it with our everyday cultural role.\u201d\nThe Clayton shows will be the only scheduled shows in Northern New York and on the United States side of the St. Lawrence River, making these shows more special and unique to the region.\nThe Caravan performance known as \u2018Hacked: the Treasure of the Empire\u2019 integrates text, poetry, video, humor, music, movement, masks, props and special effects into a magical theatrical experience that is both compelling and inspirational.\nTickets for the show are only $20 and can be ordered online at abm.org or by calling the ABM at 315-686-4104. In-person ticket purchases can be made when the Museum reopens on May 1. This event is lawn seating only and it is suggested to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets.\nThe event is supported in part by Watertown Savings Bank, Bella\u2019s of Clayton, Vintage Doors, and 7News/Fox28.\nAbout \u2018Hacked\u2019 by Caravan Stage Company\n\u2018Hacked: the Treasure of the Empire\u2019 plot revolves around the machinations of the Mammon trying to find the stolen treasure, the whereabouts known only to the Hackers. The Mammon must find it or else the Mammon Corp Regime will collapse.\nThis original Caravan show explores the quest for freedom of expression, in political & social discourse, within the world of the internet & virtual media; examines the ubiquitous presence of surveillance in our lives; and probes the ethics of the dissolution of the public, democratic control over the justice and penal systems.\n\u2018Hacked\u2019 features the entire pallet of Caravan theatrical stereographic treats such as passionate characters, poetic lyrics, exotic and melodic music, multiple video screens with a global array of imagery and visual trickery, unique aerial acrobatics, surreal lighting and sound, and a giant mega puppet that spies, swags, savages, swears, swoons and sings.\nAbout The Antique Boat Museum\nLocated on the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York, the ABM features a collection of over 300 antique and classic boats, among thousands of recreational boating artifacts. The Museum is home to the world\u2019s largest runabout of its kind and a 112-year old gilded-age two-story houseboat. In 2015, the ABM will host the 51st annual Antique Boat Show and Auction, the longest running such show in North America.

        "raw_content": "As girls pass through adolescence, a number of factors influence whether they complete secondary school, avoid teenage pregnancy, and develop the life skills, attitudes, behaviors and relationships that will set them on a path to a healthy and productive adulthood. This evaluation investigates whether being part of a mentorship and life skills program, \u201cSisters of Success,\u201d during early adolescence improves outcomes for girls in Liberia\u2019s capital city, Monrovia.\nAdolescent fertility rates in Sub-Saharan Africa are substantially higher than other regions of the world, with 115 births per 1,000, compared to 72 births per 1,000 in Latin America and just 19 births per 1,000 in Europe.1 The gender gap in education is also significant, with West and Central Africa having the largest gender gap in education of all regions in the world.2 Increasing the number of girls who complete secondary school, and reducing early motherhood, are common policy goals across many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. This evaluation will contribute evidence to policymakers on effective programming to reduce school drop-out and teen pregnancy. Secondly, Liberian policymakers, and NGOs working with Liberia, have noted that life skills are fundamental to individuals\u2019 labor market success, but there is little evidence on the impact of life skills training, or the impact of enhanced life skills on real world outcomes. One factor behind this evidence gap is that life skills training is typically delivered together with vocational training, credit, or even cash transfers, thus making it impossible to isolate the impact of the life skills training itself. This evaluation will help fill this evidence gap.\nIn Liberia, the adolescent fertility rate is 117 births per 1,000 girls, ages 15-19.3 Meanwhile, within Liberia, the gender gap in school attendance is high. Only 60 percent of girls complete primary school in Liberia, compared to 71 percent of boys, and 19 percent of men have completed secondary school or higher, but only 8 percent of women have accomplished the same.4\nThe Sisters of Success (SOS) program is taking place in an urban area of 1.1 million people. The SOS program\u2019s goals are for girls to adopt healthy behaviors, build confidence and self-esteem; learn and practice their rights; begin to develop savings and financial literacy habits; increase their community participation and involvement; and help them work towards their own personal development goals, among others. SOS is coordinated by the International Rescue Committee (IRC), in partnership with two local organizations, EDUCARE, the Planned Parenthood Association of Liberia (PPAL), and volunteer mentors, drawn from the same communities as the girls they mentor.\nSisters of Success will recruit and match girls ages 12-15 with mentors. Each mentor will be randomly matched with ten mentees. Approximately 2,880 girls will participate in the randomized evaluation, with half becoming mentees and half serving as a comparison group.\nSOS mentors and mentees meet in \u201csisterhood sessions,\u201d comprised of two mentors and 20 mentees, which meet twice a month over the course of 15 months. The program also includes extracurricular activities in which larger groups of mentors and mentees do activities together. SOS mentors, who are unpaid, are intended to serve as trusted individuals, friends, advisors, coaches, guides, teachers, and role models for the mentees.\nResearchers will collect data on a wide range of topics, such as who and what influences girls to leave school; the social and economic factors that influence when girls first have sex and birth their first child, the number and type of partners girls choose, and their use of contraception. The study will also measure the impact of the SOS program on girls labor market activities and earnings. In addition, researchers will evaluate the relative cost-effectiveness of the SOS program as compared to other policy options. Finally, if the program is effective, this study will pinpoint the key mechanisms that make an impact on girls\u2019 outcomes.\nBaseline Report Executive Summary (English) 240.23 KB\nFull Length Baseline Report (English) 1.01 MB\n1.

        "raw_content": "When we announced our investment in D2C fresh pet food company Ollie back in October 2016, it was hard to avoid the obvious (but still relatively entertaining) \u201ceating your own dog food\u201d jokes. Heck, we even did it ourselves! Because the truth is, we\u2019ve believed so wholeheartedly in this business from Day 1 that we actually ate it. We ate the dog food. And it\u2019s delicious.\nBut the business, and its success to date, is so much more than delicious dog food. Ollie is a vibrant new entrant playing in a massive, $30 billion, innovation-starved industry that\u2019s dominated by a handful of large players. And with all the news coming out of the pet industry now - General Mills\u2019 $8 billion purchase of Blue Buffalo (at an astounding 6x revenue price); PetSmart\u2019s $3.35 billion acquisition of Chewy; and Mars\u2019 $117 million purchase of Whistle, to name just a few - Ollie\u2019s rise could not have been better timed. All signs point to go.\nOllie has certainly benefited from this newfound energy in the pet space, and its results to date are clear testament to its proven product-market fit. Ollie has seen 500% growth in top-line revenue over the last year, and it rode this momentum to a successful Series A in July 2017 - led by Canaan Partners, with participation from Primary Venture Partners, Lerer Hippeau, WME Ventures, Correlation Ventures, RiverPark Ventures and Rosecliff Ventures. Since that time, the company has seen 3x revenue growth. Ollie now delivers 5 million meals per year to a passionate customer base, and retention rates are higher than any meal-kit delivery service to date.\nOllie\u2019s success stems, in large measure, from the ability of its founders to think outside the box. Founders Alex Douzet, Gabby Slome and Randy Jimenez are not pet food professionals, but rather visionary entrepreneurs and seasoned operators who earned their stripes from Ladders, Primary.com and SinglePlatform, respectively. But perhaps most important, they are dog lovers who saw firsthand the negative impacts of mass-produced, overly processed kibble on their own dogs\u2019 health.\nTheirs was a big vision: To create a better, more nutritious pet food alternative with a truly modern customer experience. They took a tech-first, ecommerce-driven approach to achieve that vision, and in doing so, built a product far superior to any of its predecessors. Precisely because of their \u201cindustry outsider\u201d status, the team has been able to reimagine the traditional customer experience, unencumbered by long-held notions of what might or might not work in the industry.\nMany of the most successful ecommerce brands have come about in this way; Warby Parker, Harry\u2019s, The Honest Company and Glossier are all the brainchildren of visionary founders who, as industry outsiders, brought a fresh perspective and a new approach to markets starved for innovation. Just a few years in and millions of customers later, it\u2019s now safe to say that each of these companies has created a new paradigm in their respective industry.\nNow Ollie is poised to do the same in the pet food space. Alex and Gabby knew that the key to differentiating themselves in this growing market was by elevating the customer experience to new heights. The company\u2019s AI-powered engine, developed in conjunction with leading veterinarians, enables Ollie to tailor highly personalized offerings based on a dog\u2019s age, weight, breed, activity level and prior diet. A sophisticated back-end algorithm, meanwhile, intelligently expedites shipping based on a customer\u2019s selected plan, location and upcoming weather predictions. The resultant product is fresh, delicious food that provides the exact portions for a dog\u2019s daily needs, delivered straight to the customer\u2019s doorstep in highly personalized packaging.\nValidation of Ollie\u2019s strategy came very early on when longtime industry veteran Steve Marton took a seat on its board. Steve has a long track record of managing and scaling billion-dollar pet food business - first as President and COO of Hill\u2019s Pet Nutrition, and then as Chairman and CEO of holistic pet food company Halo - and he brought the unparalleled insights of a deep industry insider that have helped Team Ollie build their product better, smarter and faster.\nSteve was an Ollie believer from the very beginning. He had kept a close eye on the growing trend of humanization of pets, and of pet owners treating animals more as members of the family. Being able to provide pets with quality, nutritious food is at the center of that movement, and Steve immediately saw Ollie as a standout player in the market. Since coming aboard, he has been instrumental in helping the team flesh out its go-to-market strategy, and he\u2019s helped them think through product lines, specific formulations and flavor profiles, always with an eye toward the customer preferences and industry trends that he knows so well.\nThis insider-outsider matchup has given us the confidence from the very beginning that we were tackling the industry\u2019s problems in the right way. As Steve puts it, \u201cWe come at the questions from different experiences and perspectives. The combination of both more traditional perspectives about the category, combined with Ollie\u2019s desire and ability to raise the bar on product, marketing and distribution innovation, has enabled the company to make the best possible choices for its products and its customers, both two- and four-legged!\u201d\nThe Ollie team, true to their original vision, has succeeded in marrying a best-in-class ecommerce platform with a safe, innovative dog food company. By leveraging the expertise of a seasoned industry vet, they have built a trusted brand that nurtures its customers and keeps them coming back for more. We\u2019re now just one-and-a-half years into Ollie\u2019s journey, and we can\u2019t wait to see what comes next!",

The presentation summarized the survey result from 2,049 respondents in 318 Chinese institutions, conducted by ProQuest with CALIS this April. The survey analyzed ways to obtain the information, the formats they read, as well as the devices/apps they prefer to use. The survey results concluded that \"digital resources are more appreciated than print resources, for being more portable, accessible and searchable. This is especially appealing for faculty, as compared to students.\" Finally, he presented the solutions ProQuest can provide to help users research better and improve outcomes.\nThe leader of CALIS \u2013 Professor Zhu Qiang of Peking University \u2013 mentioned some of the key findings of the study during his opening remarks at the start of the conference as well.\nCALIS is a nationwide academic library consortium, funded primarily by the Chinese government, under the leadership of the Ministry of Education. Its goal is to promote, maintain and improve library resource sharing among Chinese universities, between academic libraries, and among other libraries and information institutions.\nRead about the rest of the survey findings here.\nA comparative survey on the changing role of the librarian in Mainland China and Taiwan\nConita Leung, ProQuest's Digital Publishing Director, presented a comparative survey on the changing role of librarian in Mainland China and Taiwan at this year's LibrAsia conference. 2014 was the first year that ProQuest was asked to speak\u2026\nSouth China Morning Post added to ProQuest Historical Newspapers\nBlog post announcing that for the first time, researchers will have online access to the digital archive of the South China Morning Post as ProQuest adds this acclaimed English-language daily to its Historical Newspapers collection.

        "raw_content": "Gaels hit crunch time Friday against McMaster\nSheahan calls matchup with McMaster a 'very big weekend'\nPat Sheahan said the Gaels have a positive mindset going into their last two games of the regular season.\nHeaded into their second-last game of the season, the football team is grappling to find routine amidst a week many would call chaotic.\n\u201cWe need to be mentally ready to deal with the elements,\u201d head coach Pat Sheahan said in a press conference on Wednesday.\nAfter nearly shocking the OUA with a tight 26-23 loss to the Western Mustangs last Saturday, the Gaels have to deal with a shortened schedule because of Thanksgiving weekend. As a result, they\u2019re set to play the McMaster Marauders at 11 a.m. on Friday morning in Hamilton, giving them five days to prepare.\n\u201cThe schedule has thrown a bit of a wrench in the system here,\u201d Sheahan said. \u201cIt\u2019s caused a little bit of an issue with our travel schedule.\u201d\nOn the other side of the field, McMaster has no reason to rush into their game against Queen\u2019s. After having the week off last weekend, they head into Saturday\u2019s game after 12 days of rest.\nIn addition, the competitive climate will be nothing short of tense for nearly every OUA team competing this weekend. At the moment, Waterloo and Guelph tie Queen\u2019s record of 3-3, while McMaster is sitting at 3-2 and Laurier at 2-3. Laurier will be facing Carleton (4-2) this weekend as well.\nSheahan noted with the OUA\u2019s league parity at an all-time high, his main focus is sending a positive message to his team.\n\u201cWe\u2019re talking about a bunch of us who are all in the same pot and relatively equal,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s boiling down to who comes up with a big game on that day. We don\u2019t feel outmatched.\u201d\nFrom a statistical standpoint, the Gaels looking stronger than the Marauders despite the situational factors at play.\nQueen\u2019s has facilitated one of the OUA\u2019s most threatening offences, amassing 198 points in their six games while McMaster has only landed but 100. Further, the Gaels severely outmatch the Marauders in total receiving yards with 1,950 yards of their own compared to their opponent\u2019s 761.\nBut there\u2019s no sugarcoating the stakes this weekend: a loss would leave Queen\u2019s with one chance to end the season with an even 4-4 record, which would come at homecoming against the UOttawa Gee-Gee\u2019s (4-1).\nSheahan said this scenario\u2014ending the season .500\u2014isn\u2019t even a conversation in the Gaels\u2019 locker room.\n\u201cWe\u2019re looking at this positively. We could still finish second in the standings,\u201d he said.\nUltimately, Sheahan said he\u2019s been trying to toughen his team\u2019s mindset with the final stretch in sight. With 19 years of experience and a successful Vanier Cup run under his belt, the coach knows what it takes for a team to make it into the postseason and beyond.\n\u201cI told the players this week, \u2018What are you going to have to do to win the championship? You\u2019re probably going to have to win a tough game on the road,\u2019\u201d Sheahan said.\n\u201cWe can sit here and reflect on all the negatives we want but the reality is, this is a tremendous opportunity for our team here.\u201d",

        "title": "Google Truncated Mobile Ads \u2013 How to Fix It | RankHammer",
        "raw_content": "Google Truncated Mobile Ads \u2013 How to Fix It\nThe Mobile Change Announcement\nOn September 10th, 2014, Google AdWords declared they may or may not display the Description Line 2 of smartphone advertisers starting on October 15th. If Google decided not to show it, they said they might show an Extension instead. This announcement was made with little fan fair, but the effects are nothing short of game-changing.\nhttp://adwords.blogspot.com/2014/09/making-every-character-count.html\nMobile accounted for 1/3 of all of Google\u2019s paid clicks in the third quarter of 2013, and Google expects them to account for 50% of their paid clicks by the end of 2015. Any change to mobile ads will clearly create a major change to most accounts.\nThe first thing that occurred me is my tendency toward placing my Call-to-Actions in Description Line 2. If it simply doesn\u2019t show, will any of my Extensions be enough to make up the difference? The Call-to-Action is often a critical component of getting the click. It tells the user how you want them to do business with you; how you want them to give you money. It creates an additional motivation to do business with you, assuming the users wants to do business with you that way.\nAlso, while I think brevity is good, even the classic five minute elevator speech depends on the last minute of that speech. Now, you\u2019ll have to get your message across in fewer words. Plus, you\u2019ll still have to find the way to stand out from the crowd.\nAnother possible problem is that Google will decide whether to show Description Line 1 and 2 and an Extension, Description Line 1 and an Extension, or just Description Line 1. While each of these scenarios will also have the headline and Display URL, one of those scenarios leaves more ad space on the page. I feel confident that some queries will return three ads at the top of the mobile SERPs.\nWhy This Might Be a Good Thing\nThe good thing about this change is that many of the mobile ads are cut off at the end with a \u2018\u2026\u2019. I have personally found that this occurs if the Description Line 1 and 2 combine to be greater than 60 characters. The irony of this is that often times the CTA is portion of the ad that is sacrificed. A carefully written Extension might be able to offset this problem anyways.\nMaking sure everything is taken care of does not require rewriting every ad in your account. It does require having ads using the mobile device preference. If you don\u2019t have those already in all ad groups, now is the time to start.\nRemember the basic rules to writing these. If you have ads with that option in an ad group, but you have no other ads, the ads with the mobile device preference will run on all devices. The opposite is true. If you only have ads lacking the mobile device preference in an ad group, those ads will run on all device. The only time situation in which the mobile device preference is used by Google is if the ad group has both types of ads.\nTo make certain your mobile ads are served with the best chance to succeed, you\u2019ll have to make your ads with the mobile device preference are created differently. You\u2019ll need to make certain that Description Line 1 is a complete sentence with a CTA in it. Then, you\u2019ll need to make sure the ad still looks good when accompanied by Description Line 2. The key part here is that you won\u2019t know whether AdWords will or won\u2019t show the new format.\nThe last part you\u2019ll need to handle is making sure every extension looks good. Considering Google announced the Call Out Extensions were being released out of Beta seven days before this announcement, I doubt the timing is any coincidence. Call Out Extensions, at 25 characters, are essentially a \u201csitelink without a link\u201d. You must have at least two of them in order for them to run at all. There is no guarantee of which Extension(s) will show, but this is likely to be powerful one.\nGoogle AdWords has also put together a checklist to use:\nhttp://services.google.com/fh/files/blogs/google-mobile-ppc-checklist.pdf\nThe prepared advertisers should get a big benefit out of this, as they will be ahead of everyone else. Now that you\u2019ve read this, you should have no problem being prepared.",

        "raw_content": "IPAWS Software\nThe term IPAWS software relates to the Standards Based Alert Message data format used to aggregate alert messages and deliver them through multiple channels of communication to citizens at risk of danger. The software is effectively the middleman between alerting authorities and communication service providers.\nThe Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS) was developed between 2006 and 2011 with the aim of modernizing the country\u00b4s existing alert systems. Prior to the development of IPAWS software, each alerting authority had a choice of up to four different warning systems depending on the type of threats they anticipated and the mechanisms put in place in order to alert citizens to the risk of danger.\nConsequently, whereas in some areas of the country, alert warnings were widely broadcast via TV, radio, digital signage, and public sirens, in other areas the warning systems were inadequate. IPAWS software resolves this imbalance by enabling federal, state, tribal, and local governments to send geo-targeted messages through multiple channels of communications to maximize the reach of the alerts.\nBackground to the Development of IPAWS Software\nThe event that prompted the development of IPAWS software was Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Criticisms of the federal, state, and local governments\u2019 preparedness and responsiveness led to President Bush ordering the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a new program that would integrate the existing but disparate Emergency Alert System, National Warning System, Wireless Emergency Alerts System, and NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards Alerts System.\nThe result was IPAWS \u2013 an Internet-based system that could be used by public safety officials to issue critical public alerts and warnings from a single portal via multiple channels of communication. One of the significant advantages of IPAWS software over the previous systems is that geographically targeted alerts can be sent to areas likely to be effected by an emergency event, even when cellular networks are overloaded and unable to support person-to-person calls, texts, or emails.\nHow IPAWS Software Works\nIPAWS software \u2013 such as that found in the Rave Alert platform \u2013 is accessed via a web-based portal. When an emergency incident occurs \u2013 or extreme weather is forecast \u2013 public safety officials log into the platform from any Internet-connected device, and either compose a warning from scratch or use a prepared template to accelerate the alert process. The message can then be sent via a selection of communication options to citizens in areas likely to be affected by the incident.\nIn addition to the previous communication options of TV, radio, public signage, and sirens, public safety officials can also send emergency warnings via the Internet and SMS text. Consequently a far wider audience can be reached using IPAWS software than before. Furthermore, the platform supports two-way communication to enhance situational awareness and provide emergency managers with ears on the ground so they can direct emergency response to where it is needed the most.\nFind Out More about Rave Alert and IPAWS Software\nIf you have a responsibility for public safety in a federal, state, tribal, or local government, and you would like to know more about Rave Alert and IPAWS software, do not hesitate to contact us. Our team of communications experts will guide you through the features and benefits of Rave Alert as they apply in your own specific circumstances, and organize a free demonstration of our IPAWS software in action.\nRave Alert is already in use in multiple jurisdictions to help better prepare citizens for an emergency and to keep them updated until the incident is over (you can read case studies about the effectiveness of Rave Alert here and here).

        "raw_content": "Reverso Poetry:\nWriting Verse in Reverse\nA doll. A cat. A love of games. A grandma. A fascination with fairy tales, myths, and poetry. What do these things have in common? They are the major ingredients that led to my creating \u201creversos.\u201d\nA reverso is a poem with two halves. In a reverso, the second half reverses the lines from the first half, with changes only in punctuation and capitalization \u2014 and it has to say something completely different from the first half (otherwise it becomes what one blogger\u2019s kid called a \u201csame-o.\u201d)\nReading and writing reversos is a good way to make poetry fun. Even kids (and adults) who claim they don\u2019t like poems seem to enjoy these, because it is a form that can be shared \u2014 you can read the poems aloud, play the characters, puzzle out who said what and why, or even try to figure out how someone wrote the darn things.\nSo how did I come to create this poetry form? Let\u2019s start in reverse order, with the last ingredient I listed: a fascination with fairy tales, myths, and poetry. I was a lucky kid in that my family always read to me a lot, and what I liked most were tales, myths, and poems. I loved their magic, images, and wordplay. I loved hearing them spoken aloud, particularly by my Romanian grandmother. Grandma Frieda and I shared a bedroom until I was thirteen \u2014 first in our apartment in the Bronx, then in our house on Long Island \u2014 and she was a fantastic storyteller. Her stories helped me go to sleep, to dream, and, eventually to write, which I started doing in third grade.\nAs a child I wrote lots of stuff, particularly poetry. I mostly preferred free verse but eventually became interested in poetic forms. I experimented with triolets, cinquains, villanelles, sonnets, and haikus. I\u2019ve always loved games, and playing with these forms felt very much to me like playing games. It eventually led me to make up my own games \u2014 and my own form of poetry.\nNow where does the cat come in? I\u2019ve always found dogs and cats inspirational. I\u2019ve written poetry, nonfiction, and fiction featuring canines and felines, yet I never expected that a cat would lead to a new poetry form. One fateful day, I was sitting in my living room and I saw her snuggled in a chair. What came into my head was this:\nA cat Incomplete:\nwithout A chair\na chair: without\nIncomplete. a cat.\nThat little poem got me excited. I wondered if I could write more like it \u2026 so I did. I gathered up these poems and showed them to an editor. Because a number of the poems were based on fairy tales, she suggested I base the whole collection on fairy tales alone. It was a compelling idea: Fairy tales have a strong narrative and I figured that for these poems I could find two sides to one character, two points in time for a character, or two different characters with opposing points of view. I still wasn\u2019t sure what to call the poems, though. When my wonderful husband, Steve Aronson, described the poems as \u201creversos,\u201d I knew I finally had a name for them.\nAnd the doll? When I was a kid, my uncle gave me a Rags-to-Riches doll. She had bare feet, and she came dressed in a shawl, a patchwork skirt with a drawstring, and a babushka. When you removed the shawl and pulled down the skirt, presto! She was wearing a golden ball gown. Off came the babushka, and she had on a tiara. All you had to do then was put on her slippers and the transformation was complete. I couldn\u2019t swear to it, but I\u2019m pretty sure that that doll was in the back of my brain when I wrote \u201cCinderella\u2019s Double Life,\u201d my first fairy tale reverso:\nIsn\u2019t life unfair?\nStuck in a corner,\nwhile they\u2019re waiting for a chance\nwith the prince,\ndancing waltz after waltz\nat the ball,\nI\u2019ll be shining\ntill the clock strikes midnight.\nTill the clock strikes midnight,\nwhile they\u2019re waiting for a chance,\nstuck in a corner.\n\u201cCinderella\u2019s Double Life\u201d represents the same character at two points in time; it was included it in my fairy tale collection, which became the book Mirror Mirror. In Follow Follow and Echo Echo, my second and third books of reversos, I continued to play with the poetic form exploring more fairy tales and Greek myths. I created some poems that revealed two entirely different points of view for one character, and others that reflected the thoughts of two different characters.\nTo be honest, I don\u2019t know how I actually write reversos. I\u2019m not trying to be secretive \u2014 it\u2019s really a bit of a mystery to me! I know that I can\u2019t do it all the time; I have to get into a certain type of games-playing frame of mind to write these poems.\nBut if you and your kids want to try writing reversos at home, I can offer a few tips:\nFind a story, subject, or character with two sides.\nStart with a few lines that can be flipped so they make sense in reverse.\nSelect phrases that can be turned into questions and interjections.\nUse a lot of participles, infinitives, and single word sentences.\nThe reversos have changes only in punctuation and capitalization, so get to know punctuation \u2014 how can you use a comma, period, dash, colon, semi-colon, etc.?\nWrite the poem on the computer so you can move the lines around until they make sense.\nDon\u2019t get discouraged \u2014 reversos are hard to write. Play and have fun!\nDo you and your children ever read or write poems together?

The signs are there (well, if you read into them enough). And, quite frankly, it would be cruel to not get the remaining fam \u2014 Arya (Maisie Williams), Sansa (Sophie Turner), Bran (Isaac Hempstead Wright), and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) \u2014 back together again before the series' end next season. But Wright, who plays the littlest Stark, is here to eviscerate the idea \u2014 and we do not appreciate it.\nThe actor shut down the theory at the Los Angeles season 7 premiere on Wednesday night. (Yes, there are humans who are not you who have already seen the premiere; no, it's not fair or just.) \"No way. There's no way [the Starks] can just go back to being a family again,\" he said, Mashable reports. \"They're all just such different characters now. I mean, they were different to begin with, but still brothers and sisters. Now, Arya's an assassin. Bran's a tree wizard. And Sansa's this conniving political mistress.\" (We prefer to use the words \"brilliant\" and \"resourceful\" to describe Sansa, by the way.) The 18-year-old continued, \"So putting them back together again... I think it would just end up being disappointing. That's why I don't think it should happen \u2014 because people would go, 'Oh. Oh no.'\"\nThat's a different tune than the actor was singing back in May, when he toyed with the idea in an interview accompanying the epic Entertainment Weekly photo shoot reuniting the actors playing the remaining Starks reunited IRL. Wright sounded pretty down with the possibility when asked about it. \"All the Starks could have a meal that didn't end in one of them getting murdered,\" he told EW, per E! News. \"I think that would be nice.\" Hell yeah it would! Can someone bring the sweet, optimistic Isaac Hempstead Wright back, please? We may need his positive energy to make this miracle happen.\nGame Of Thrones Stark Family Reunion Theory, Bran Actor",

        "title": "Woodstock Festival 1969",
        "raw_content": "Woodstock Festival 1969\nHow significant was the Woodstock Festival in 1969? It was more than just a rock festival, but did it mark the apogee of the hippie movement, rather than a turning point in history?\nThe Woodstock Festival lasted three days from 15 to 17 August 1969. It took place on Max Yasgur's 600 acre farm in Bethel, New York State, USA. Over 400,000 people attended; far more than the organisers expected, or wanted.\nThe Woodstock Festival was advertised through conventional channels. However, news of the happening spread through the hippie movement in the US. It was the event of the hippie calendar. Numbers far exceeded the organisers' estimates and they declared the Festival free. They cut down fences and any anyone who wanted to was allowed in. Commercially Woodstock was a failure.\nThere were huge traffic jams which gridlocked the area. Some of the performers were flown in by helicopter. The weather did not help and heavy rain turned the festival ground into a mud bath. Nevertheless, thousands of young people enjoyed the event. They were happy and in good spirits and surprised the older generation. Commentators expected the Festival to be a disaster, but in the end they were pleasantly surprised and praised the young people's good humour and the peaceful nature of the event.\nFor many young people the event was about more than music. Would Woodstock be 'the first free city in the world', or the birth of a new nation? There were high hopes that something lasting would come out of the Festival.\nIn the late sixties, particularly in America, there was a huge gulf between the values and ideals of a large number of young people and the views of their parents. Young people believed they had nothing to learn from the experiences of the older generation and no interest in a society that created nuclear weapons and the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War was the focus of discontent amongst the youth of America. Many were being asked to lay down their lives for a cause they did not believe in. Is it any wonder?\nThe other big gulf between the generations was the choice of drugs. The adults stuck to alcohol and tobacco. The hippie movement professed to marijuana, hash and LSD. Drugs circulated freely around Woodstock and organisers took to the stage to warn of 'bad acid' being circulated around. Participants took speed and pot, as well as LSD. There was one death at the Festival due to a drugs overdose and another due to a car accident. There were also two births.\nIn the traffic jams to the Woodstock Festival there were VW Beetles, the odd VW Camper and one or two ancient buses. However the majority of road travellers arrived in new looking, large American saloons. Whilst a number of young people opted out of the American consumer culture and lived in small groups of hippies, the majority were either full-time students, had full-time jobs or relied on their parents to support their lifestyle.\nIn the end Woodstock was mainly about the music. There was the seminal performance by Jimmy Hendrix of the Star Spangled Banner on electric guitar. The piece added rocket and explosive sounds to the American National Anthem. It became a symbol of the counter culture and anti-Vietnam War sentiment of the late 60s. Other acts which tuned in to the spirit of the 1969 included Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin and The Who.\nA taste of the future came from Sha na na, who performed a selection of hits from the 50s. They triggered a 50s nostalgia boom in the 70s, which spawned 'Happy Days' and Grease. In the UK, Malcolm McLaren founded the 50s revival store, 'Let it Rock' as a counter to hippie culture. He later evolved this rebellion against hippie ideals into Punk Rock.\nWas Woodstock about more than music? Elsewhere large festivals were less happy. Most historians contrast Woodstock with the Altamont Pop Festival in December 1969. At Altamont, San Francisco, the Rolling Stones staged a free concert. They misguidedly hired Hell's Angels as 'Security'. The Hells Angels killed at least one member of the audience. The hippy dream was unravelling.\nBirth of a new nation, no. Hippie ideas influenced society well into the 1970s. The fashion and style also continued into the new decade. Today a liking for the natural and concern for the environment is stronger than ever.\nMore on Woodstock\nThe documentary style film, Woodstock: The Director's Cut [1969] presents a dispassionate view of the Festival, including interviews with locals, festival goers, police and organisers, as well as showing some, but not all, of the music.\nSee also www.film.queensu.ca/Woodstock/, which contains some unique 8mm film of the Woodstock Festival.\nMore on the sixties\nThe Sixties by Arthur Marwick\nThe Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage by Todd Gitlin\nYour comments on the Woodstock Festival\n\"sooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooood\" bilal",

        "raw_content": "Western Canada will have warmer than normal temperatures this winter\nRELATED: Winter weather hits parts of Canada\n\u201cWhen you look at the country in two halves, we think winter will end sooner in Western Canada \u2026 whereas farther east, we think while it might not be harsh at all times, it does have some longevity and we\u2019re going to be begging for spring by the time we get to early March,\u201d said The Weather Network\u2019s chief meteorologist Chris Scott.\n\u201cThis year we have El Nino\u2026. That means warmer than normal water off the coast of South America,\u201d said Scott, adding that usually portends a milder winter.\nScott said \u201cnobody is really getting off easy this year,\u201d but the western part of the country is the winner for people who don\u2019t like the cold.\n\u201cBut if you want snow in the West, this isn\u2019t the best winter for that. If you want to get a prolonged winter it\u2019s really Central and Eastern Canada,\u201d he said.\nREAD MORE: Canadians more prepared for weather disaster than finance one\nHowever, he said the overall dry weather pattern will break at times, with the province\u2019s South Coast region getting a closer to normal amount of precipitation.\n\u201cWe\u2019re expecting a roller-coaster of weather\u201d in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, said Scott.\nThe network is predicting an overall long and cold winter across Canada\u2019s two most populous provinces, and Scott said the second half of the season will be especially bitter.\nHe said below-normal temperatures are expected for both Quebec and Ontario, but that doesn\u2019t mean every week will see frigid temperatures.\n\u201cBut we do think the back half of winter has some serious cold to it, and some longevity. That\u2019s going to make people rather weary, unfortunately, by the time we hit February and into March,\u201d said Scott.\n\u201cWe think if any part of the country has got an epic winter in store, it\u2019s Atlantic Canada,\u201d Scott said.\nThe network said above-normal snowfall is expected across Yukon and into western Northwest Territories. \u201cThe rest of the North won\u2019t see any major signs of above- or below-normal precipitation,\u201d said Scott.",

        "raw_content": "Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Inducts Four Legends\nMark James, Rosanne Cash, Even Stevens and Craig Wiseman are honored for their timeless musical contributions\nMark James, Rosanne Cash, Even Stevens and Craig Wiseman at the Nashville Songwriters Association induction ceremony.\nPhoto Courtesy of the Nashville Songwriters Association\nMusic City honored the artistry of four exceptional tunesmiths Sunday night, inducting Rosanne Cash, Mark James, Even Stevens and Craig Wiseman into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. The 45th annual gala awards dinner at Nashville\u2019s Music City Center was attended by more than 1,000 music industry professionals and featured tribute performances to the new Hall of Fame members from Tim McGraw, Hunter Hayes, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill, Ronnie Dunn and more.\nCash, who enjoyed a string of chart-topping hits throughout the Eighties including \u201cSeven Year Ache,\u201d \u201cBlue Moon With Heartache\u201d and the Grammy-winning \u201cI Don\u2019t Know Why You Don\u2019t Want Me,\u201d has evolved into one of the genre\u2019s most sophisticated, confessional writer-performers. She continues, at age 60, to possess a strong, expressive voice, both literally and in terms of the material she\u2019s written and recorded recently, especially 2014\u2019s multi-award-winning The River and the Thread. She also remains an outspoken advocate on topics including gun control and fair compensation for songwriters. Vince Gill and Emmylou Harris both sang Cash\u2019s songs during the event, and her former producer and ex-husband Rodney Crowell did the formal induction.\n\u201cIt means everything to me,\u201d Cash told Rolling Stone Country of the honor prior to the ceremony. \u201cAs an 18-year-old songwriter, [I] was really struggling to begin to write good songs and couldn\u2019t quite find the keyhole, but just kept soaking up those good songwriters around me. . . what they said and how they did it, deconstructing songs for myself to figure out why they worked. Then, here we are 40 years later and other songwriters are recognizing me? It\u2019s the best feeling in the world. I\u2019m trying to take it in. I\u2019m a little shocked.\u201d\nRosanne Cash on Rare Performance, Father\u2019s Memories and Next Steps\nEven Stevens was inducted by his longtime friend, Hall of Fame songwriter Hugh Prestwood (\u201cGhost in This House,\u201d \u201cThe Song Remembers When\u201d), and celebrated with Loving Mary\u2019s performance of the 1980 crossover smash, \u201cDrivin\u2019 My Life Away,\u201d which was just one of some 900 songs he and Rabbitt penned together. James recalled the hardscrabble early days living in Nashville and sleeping in his converted postal vehicle before striking gold with hits that also included \u201cWhen You\u2019re in Love With a Beautiful Woman,\u201d a worldwide hit for Dr. Hook, which was performed at the ceremony by American Idol alum Paul McDonald.\nMark James, who was responsible for, among other hits, the best-selling single in the phenomenal career of Elvis Presley, was inducted by BMI executive Jody Williams, and feted with Hunter Hayes\u2019 dynamic performance of the aforementioned hit, 1969\u2019s \u201cSuspicious Minds.\u201d Singer B.J. Thomas then delivered a powerful rendition of \u201cHooked on a Feeling,\u201d which was twice a major pop hit; first by Thomas in Thomas in 1968, then a Number One blockbuster for Blue Swede in 1974. James was also a co-writer of \u201cAlways on My Mind,\u201d the Elvis hit that later came to life on the pop charts with two incredibly different versions, one by Willie Nelson, the other by English duo Pet Shop Boys.\nThe emotional highpoint of the night was the humorous and heartfelt acceptance speech from Craig Wiseman, introduced by his friend and fellow Hall of Fame member, Bob DiPiero. To cover just a few of Wiseman\u2019s many hit, Hall of Famer Jeffrey Steele performed a medley that included, among many other tunes, Kenny Chesney\u2019s \u201cSummertime,\u201d Montgomery Gentry\u2019s \u201cHell Yeah\u201d and \u201cBoys \u2018Round Here,\u201d cut by Blake Shelton. Two powerhouse vocal performances followed, from Ronnie Dunn (\u201cBelieve\u201d) and Tim McGraw (\u201cLive Like You Were Dying\u201d). In his speech, Wiseman name-checked dozens of acts that have recorded his songs and also paid homage to his many co-writers and employees of his music-publishing company, Big Loud Shirt.\n\u201cThis is kind of \u2018it,\u201d Wiseman told Rolling Stone Country before taking the stage. \u201cI\u2019ve got Grammys and all the Songs of the Years and all that stuff goes to the side. This goes dead center. This is the purest. It\u2019s by songwriters for songwriters.\u201d\nAlthough the job description is neatly packaged in the title of songwriter, throughout his own career, Wiseman says he has found that several elements go into making one a songwriter.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a little bit of cowboy, because of the long odds,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt\u2019s a weird mix because you have to be sort of self-reliant and self-contained. The thing I like about Nashville is there\u2019s so much community in it. It\u2019s a symphony of contradictions and you throw in several neuroses. A lot of obsessive-compulsive disorder helps. It\u2019s the ability to see what\u2019s going on [within the industry] and, at the same time, ignore all that shit and imagine where it\u2019s going to be in three or four years. But you\u2019re skatin\u2019 on ice. You\u2019re skatin\u2019 on ice that\u2019s warm water, waiting for it to freeze up.\u201d\nPrior to the Hall of Fame inductions, another organization, the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI), presented its annual Songwriter Achievement Awards, recognizing the record-breaking Little Big Town hit, \u201cGirl Crush\u201d as its Song of the Year.\nThe three writers, Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna and Liz Rose (a/k/a the Love Junkies), performed a breathtaking rendition of the song after accepting their award.\nRodney Clawson was named Songwriter of the Year, recognized for the success of hits he co-wrote for Kenny Chesney (\u201cAmerican Kids\u201d), Lady Antebellum (\u201cBartender,\u201d) Jason Aldean (\u201cBurnin\u2019 It Down\u201d), Florida Georgia Line (\u201cDirt,\u201d \u201cSippin\u2019 on Fire\u201d) and more.\nFor the seventh time, the Songwriter/Artist of the Year honor was presented (in a pre-taped piece) to Taylor Swift, who spoke of her continuing admiration for the Nashville songwriting community and its influence on her. The writers of NSAI\u2019s Professional Songwriters Division also singled out 10 songs and their writers for the organization\u2019s 2015 awards, informally dubbed \u201cThe Songs I Wish I\u2019d Written,\u201d although a tie led to a field of 11 honorees. The recipients were: \u201cA Guy Walks Into a Bar\u201d (Melissa Peirce, Jonathan Singleton, Brad Tursi /recorded by Tyler Farr), \u201cAll About That Bass\u201d (Kevin Kadish, Meghan Trainor /recorded by Meghan Trainor), \u201cAmerican Kids\u201d (Rodney Clawson, Luke Laird, Shane McAnally/recorded by Kenny Chesney), \u201cDiamond Rings And Old Bar Stools\u201d (Barry Dean, Luke Laird, Jonathan Singleton/recorded by Tim McGraw w/Catherine Dunn), \u201cDirt\u201d (Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins/recorded by Florida Georgia Line), \u201cGirl in a Country Song\u201d (Taylor Dye, Maddie Marlow, Aaron Scherz/recorded by Maddie & Tae), \u201cI Don\u2019t Dance\u201d (Lee Brice, Dallas Davidson, Rob Hatch/recorded by Lee Brice), \u201cNeon Light\u201d (Andrew Dorff, Mark Irwin, Josh Kear/recorded by Blake Shelton), \u201cRaise \u2018Em Up\u201d (Tom Douglas, Jaren Johnston, Jeffrey Steele/recorded by Keith Urban and Eric Church), \u201cShake It Off \u201d (Max Martin, Shellback, Taylor Swift/recorded by Taylor Swift) and \u201cShe Don\u2019t Love You\u201d (Eric Paslay, Jennifer Wayne/recorded by Eric Paslay).\nIn This Article: Nashville,\tRosanne Cash",

        "raw_content": "Introduction to the Graduate Program\nThe Rochester Approach\nThe Department of Political Science offers a program of study leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, which is designed to train scholars who will contribute to the future development of political science through careers in teaching and research. The department is regularly ranked among the top political science departments in the country. In its most recent report, the National Research Council ranked the Rochester department's graduate program sixth in the country. Controlling for size, a 2001 study in PS: Political Science & Politics concluded that Rochester ranked first in the country in the productivity of its PhD alumni, as measured by publications in leading journals. More recently (2007), PS ranked Rochester fourth both with respect to graduate placement and citations of graduates' research. Of seven political scientists elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2013, four received their PhDs from Rochester.\nRochester is the birthplace of a distinctive approach to studying politics that emphasizes the development of formal theory and the analysis of quantitative evidence. A cursory examination of the discipline's leading journals--the American Political Science Review and the American Journal of Political Science--demonstrates how the field was revolutionized by this development. It is no exaggeration to say that the field of political science has been reshaped in the last generation by Rochester faculty and graduates.\nThe PhD program at Rochester remains unique. It is the most rigorous, technical, and mathematical training program available within a department of political science anywhere in the world. Unlike the traditional program, which is organized as a smorgasbord of offerings, the core of the Rochester program is a focused course of training that covers all of the technical tools of contemporary political science. Each student specializes in one or more substantive areas, such as American or comparative politics, international relations, or political philosophy, but every one of them attains a degree of sophistication in formal theory and statistical methods that is rarely achieved by graduates of more traditional programs.\nThe doctoral program requires at least four, and usually five, years of full-time study. For most PhD students the first year of study will be spent completing courses in the required theoretical and methodological sequences and exploring some substantive fields. The second year is spent on substantive concentration and research culminating with the presentation of a research paper in the beginning of year three. All candidates for the PhD degree will become involved in teaching during their third and fourth years. The PhD comprehensive examinations in three fields of concentration are normally completed by the second semester of the third year. Upon passing the PhD Qualifying Exam, a Master of Arts degree is awarded. Writing the PhD thesis is the major task of the remainder of the program.\nFinancial Support and Resources\nAll PhD students in good standing are guaranteed a stipend and full support for tuition for five years of study. Additionally, funding is available to do joint empirical work with faculty through the PEPR grant program sponsored by the Wallis Institute of Political Economy. Students have office space in Harkness Hall, with graduate offices interspersed among faculty offices. In addition, graduate students are eligible to receive support for summers through Charles E. Lanni Research Fellowships, which provide an opportunity to work closely with a faculty member on a research project. In addition, faculty members often hire students as research assistants independently of these programs.\nThe Rochester program has produced many of this generation's intellectual leaders. In recent years Rochester graduates have joined faculties at a wide range of institutions, including Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Michigan, Minnesota, Northwestern, NYU, Princeton, Rice, Stanford, Ohio State, UCLA, UCSD, UNC, Washington, and Yale University, as well as other universities and colleges throughout the world.\nThe success of the Rochester program has come from the internationally esteemed faculty and their accessibility to their graduate students. Classes and seminars are small, and students work closely with the relevant faculty throughout their graduate training.",

        "raw_content": "At long last we seem to have finally turned the corner in our local real estate market and 2013 has been a marked improvement over recent years. In fact, the combination of circumstances which has largely driven the 2013 market (low inventory and continuing low interest rates) seem like they should persist into the foreseeable future. The market has been strong and sellers who take the time to properly prepare their homes are often being rewarded with quick sales and good prices.\nSee the outline below for some highlights of our model of service for our seller clients.\nInitial Home Visit/Evaluation: Do we replace the dated carpet and wallpaper or leave it for buyers to address? Do we update our kitchen and/or baths or discount our price to reflect the need for updating? These are all great questions and central to properly positioning your home for a successful sale. We\u2019ll conduct a free, no-obligation walk-thru and provide recommendations on how best to prepare your home for the market and even provide recommendations for local contractors if there is work to be done. Most importantly, we\u2019ll let you know an \u2018as-is\u2019 and \u2018finished\u2019 price range recommendation so you can weigh the costs of preparation against the anticipated return.\nPricing Recommendations: One of our greatest assets is our knowledge of the markets we serve and, as such, in most cases we\u2019ll be able to provide a recommended list price range at our first visit. Our recommendations will be based on a written market analysis evaluating your home relative to recent sales nearby, current competition and square footage (among other things). Of course the final decision on pricing is yours to make and should be based on market conditions at the time you\u2019re ready to list your home for sale.\nProfessional Photography and Printing: The home-buying process is a highly visual process and nearly all buyers will get their first look at your home on the internet. While it\u2019s important to have a lot of pictures it\u2019s even more important to have GREAT pictures! The virtual tours and slideshows must be compelling enough to make buyers anxious to schedule a first-hand look. We hire (at our expense) professional photographers experienced in the art of home photography and print professional four-page full color brochures to properly expose your home to prospective buyers.\nManaging Showings: One of the more challenging aspects of having your home on the market is trying to be prepared for showings at a moment\u2019s notice. We\u2019ll provide a written cheat-sheet or list of reminders on what to do to prepare for a showing (i.e. all lights on, blinds & shades open, counters cleared, etc.) so you\u2019re never at a loss. We also arrange all showings through a third-party service who will call you with notice of any scheduled showings and provide you with a weekly update on any feedback received from agents who have shown your home.\nReviewing/Analyzing Offers: Given that the typical sales contract these days runs to approximately 50 pages, it\u2019s important to be able to boil it all down to the most pertinent information so our clients can make informed decisions. We\u2019ll prepare a written \u2018estimated seller net sheet\u2019 which takes the terms of the offer(s) and backs out the typical costs of sale to arrive at an estimated bottom. Armed with these numbers we can then assess the other aspects of the offer (i.e. contingencies, requested credits, etc.) to determine how to respond. In the event of multiple offers we\u2019ll provide a written side-by-side analysis of each to easily determine which offer is most favorable.\nNavigating the Contingency Process: Once you\u2019ve accepted a contract we\u2019ll provide you with a written list of all short-term contingencies and the timelines for their removal so we can make sure they are completed in a timely way. Typical contingencies will include (among others) home, radon and termite inspections and financing and appraisal contingencies. We\u2019ll meet the appraiser and provide a list of current comparables which we feel support our pricing in order to minimize the chance for any surprises.\nSettlement: Settlement marks the successful conclusion to your home sale and involves signing all the required documents, including the deed and a document called the HUD-1 Settlement Statement which is an accounting of the transaction. We\u2019ll work with the title company to make sure you have a chance to review the closing statement BEFORE the settlement so you\u2019re not seeing it for the first time at the settlement table. A successful settlement/closing ends with you trading the keys to your home for a check (or wire).",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Sports Betting Online > Long Shot Bets >\tCricket World Cup punters wrong to shun England\nCricket World Cup punters wrong to shun England\nIt does not happen often but, for once, England represents the value option in a tournament winner market on a major international competition, namely the Cricket World Cup that gets under way in Australia and New Zealand on Saturday.\nPunters have looked at the Cricket World Cup draw and they have backed Australia, New Zealand and South Africa as if the Australians, Black Caps and Proteas are the only three winning chances. One understands why Australia, New Zealand and South Africa have attracted support but one feels that each of them has been over bet and Cricket World Cup punters have missed a trick in not backing England as heavily. For those of you that followed our tip of Australia to win at 11/4 3.75 +275 2.75 2.75 -0.36 , you can have the luxury of also having a bet on England, and still be ahead of the bookies best price of 2/1 3.00 +200 2.00 2.00 -0.50 on the Aussies.\nThe Cricket World Cup draw is lopsided insomuch that, unless India, Pakistan and the West Indies experience a big upturn in form over the next couple of months, South Africa is the only legitimate title contender in Pool B. South Africa is likely to qualify for the Cricket World Cup last eight with a 100 per cent Pool B record but, in reality, reaching the quarter-finals should be a no-brainer for any team that holds championship aspirations. At the risk of offending Cricket World Cup administrators, the first month of the tournament is an exercise in generating money through the scheduling of largely meaningless matches that are likely to deliver the eight favourites as the eight quarter-finalists. South Africa has been over bet because what it accomplishes in Cricket World Cup Pool B \u2013 even if it wins every one of its six group games \u2013 will have very little bearing on how its fares in the business part of the competition.\nCricket World Cup punters have over bet Australia and New Zealand because they are the host nations and there is an expectation that they will avoid South Africa until the semi-finals at least. Australia\u2019s Cricket World Cup hopes have taken a hit with James Faulkner\u2019s injury that has the potential to prevent the multi-talented all-rounder from pinch hitting and death bowling for the Australians. One appreciates that, realistically, Australia may only need to win back-to-back-to-back home matches to lift the Cricket World Cup but odds of 2/1 3.00 +200 2.00 2.00 -0.50 with many bookmakers, are nothing more than fair \u2013 those odds equate to 11/25 1.44 -227 0.44 -2.27 0.44 multiplied by three. New Zealand traded at odds of 20/1 21.00 +2000 20.00 20.00 -0.05 not long ago so backing the Black Caps at odds of 11/2 6.50 +550 5.50 5.50 -0.18 with several firms, including Bwin and Winner, to lift the Cricket World Cup would be the act of a punter who has missed the boat.\nEngland is the Cricket World Cup value bet at odds of 12/1 13.00 +1200 12.00 12.00 -0.08 with Betfred and Totesport. Provided that England qualifies for a Cricket World Cup quarter-final versus a Pool B team other than South Africa, which one thinks is more likely than not to eventuate, it should have an excellent shot of making the last four and being just two wins from glory. One thinks that England should not be considerably longer odds than New Zealand to win the Cricket World Cup because the final is locked in for the Melbourne Cricket Ground so the Black Caps are not going to have home advantage in the championship game if they manage to progress that far.\nBack England to win the Cricket World Cup at odds of 12/1 13.00 +1200 12.00 12.00 -0.08 in the expectation that it qualifies for the semi-finals, at which point one can either cash out with a guaranteed profit or let one\u2019s bet ride and go for gold. England will not be trading at Cricket World Cup odds of 12/1 13.00 +1200 12.00 12.00 -0.08 if it makes the last four and, who knows, something may befall Australia, New Zealand and/or South Africa along the way.\nEngland to win the Cricket World Cup",

It represents a central forming process in industrial metal processing. As is also the case with the swaging of pipe material, the mass of the workpiece is retained while its form is changed when swaging solid material. In industrial manufacturing, wires and other metal parts are swaged in various, often highly complex work processes to produce a wide variety of different components such as axles, drive shafts, transmission shafts, steering rods, etc. The possible applications for the swaging of solid material are thus extremely broad: Depending on the specific requirements for the workpieces, it is possible to achieve a whole range of different results and levels of complexity. Swaging of solid material also offers some advantages compared to other production processes. A notable advantage are the material savings. Swaging of solid material normally forms components without creating any surplus material: It does not produce material edges that need to be separated and recycled. The use of materials is thus optimized in this type of production process. In addition, components formed by the swaging of solid material display an exceptionally high level of stability, safety and durability. The homogeneous grain structure of the components and the lack of welded seams or other joining processes are additional advantages offered by the swaging of solid material.\nSwaging of solid material with machines from Schmale\nThe innovative production machines for wires, pipes and strips from Schmale Maschinenbau GmbH combine a variety of different production processes with one another. Both the newly developed SPPEDMAX from Schmale and also the machines in the X2000 series can integrate the swaging of solid material into a complex production process. Special machines that are custom designed for a specific production situation can also be suitable for the swaging of solid material as part of a tailored production process. If the swaging of solid material is desired by a customer, Schmale firstly analyses the specific production situation and then develops the optimal production machine. Great importance is placed on the upgradeability and energy efficiency of the machines during the design process. This enables the swaging of solid material to be integrated into the intelligent automation of various technologies. The customer receives a modern, future-oriented and energy-efficient machine that has been precisely tailored to his requirements.",

        "title": "Is the ubiquity of technology putting corporate security at risk?",
        "raw_content": "Is the ubiquity of technology putting corporate security at risk?\nWith growing demand from employees for their workplace to be flexible and allow them to work remotely, this is expected to coincide with a rise in cloud-based SaaS apps, so security teams are set to be struggling with maintaining a watchful eye over where company information has gone to.\nA new whitepaper from security company Forcepoint has raised the question: as more corporate data moves out of sight and into SaaS-style cloud services \u2013 which are increasingly used to drive business agility and reduce costs \u2013 how do security teams maintain visibility on where corporate information is being used?\nForcepoint's \u201cThe 2017 State of Cyber-Security\u201d report says, \u201cWithout this insight, people-based vulnerabilities destabilise even the most secure networks and greatly reduce the efficacy of cyber-security investments.\u201d\nWhat Forcepoint means when it talks of \u201cpeople-based vulnerabilities\u201d is the risk of a sales person looking to take sales leads onto his next role, or a disgruntled system administrator who wants to delete operational information and disrupt a company's operations. Essentially, it's the risk of people taking data beyond the company ring-fence when it shouldn't be.\nSC Media UK spoke with Richard Ford, chief scientist of Forcepoint, who explained what the company suggests as a logical next move to combat the issue.\nFord, a security veteran with over 25 years in the industry, said, \u201cIn order for security to become a business enabler, we need to universally agree that human behaviour is very difficult to change. Therefore, we should build products which centre around the human, rather than expecting the human to modify its behaviour so the security product works.\u201d\nFord is referring to a phenomena known as \u2018shadow IT', where employees typically look for ways to circumvent corporate IT rules as they feel a particular rule is stopping them from doing their job. Typically, someone might sign up for a Dropbox account to transfer sensitive company information. Or use a proxy to access a banned website which they feel might have have the information they need to do their job.\nAnd the issue isn't expected to go away anytime soon. According to Gallup's State of the American Workplace survey, \u201cThe number of employees working remotely rose by four percentage points between 2012 and 2016, from 39 percent to 43 percent, and employees working remotely spent more time doing so.\u201d\nAnd while this is happening, we can most likely also expect a significant amount of cloud SaaS software be used to attract, engage and retain employees who are looking to work remotely or on the move. If you're working remotely, you most likely won't be able to access the application which runs on the corporate network.\n\u201cRemote employees (those who work at least two days a week from home) report lowered stress levels, increased morale, better productivity and a greater sense of overall worth compared to in-office workers,\u201d says the report. So HR departments are most likely going to carry on wanting to allow for employees to work remotely to \u201creduce employee turnover, decrease operating and real estate costs and leads to more highly-qualified potential hires\u201d.\nThe report noted that a recent survey found \u201c58 percent of human resource professionals cite flexibility as the most effective way to attract new talent\u201d.\nSo how do we get around this? Ford told SC it is about \u201cevent-based risk\u201d, and understanding the context of why things happen. So, if someone transfers a client list via WeTransfer, should they have done that? Ford argues that at the moment security products are great at the \u201cwhat\u201d rather than \u201cwhy\u201d it happened, meaning, lots of products can log, while few offer a reason why the event happened.\n\u201cA picture is more interesting than a hand-drawn sketch,\u201d says Ford, who was essentially trying to explain that we need to train machines to spot intent, ie, is someone doing something malicious.\nSC asked how Forcepoint intends to do that \u2013 that is, how can you train machines to learn a human's intent? Ford unfortunately did not deliver on any concrete answer of how Forcepoint does this. Presumably he's trying to protect his own company IP.\nBut overall, Ford concluded by saying that we shouldn't be collecting more information, rather it should be better information which helps security teams make more informed decisions.\nAnd it would appear he's on the right track: according to the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology, in 2015, \u201conly 17 percent of security professionals were aware of an insider threat on their network, even though enough anomalous activity suggested that insider threats occurred in 85 percent of organisations\u201d.\nSnowden's forgotten legacy - highlighting insider threat\nMorrisons supermarket succumbs to insider threat",

        "title": "Why Graeme Murty deserves both sympathy and criticism after Rangers exit - The Scotsman",
        "raw_content": "Why Graeme Murty deserves both sympathy and criticism after Rangers exit\nGraeme Murty has been treated shabbily by the Rangers board. He was thrust into the position, one of the most demanding in British football, with little experience and expected to steady a ship that was veering off course.\nREAD MORE - Graeme Murty relieved of duties as Rangers manager\nGraeme Murty appeared to lose the respect of the Ibrox dressing room. Picture: SNS\nThen, when he showed that he wasn\u2019t actually the right man for the gig after losing to Hamilton, Dundee and St Johnstone in the space of nine games, they gave him the job anyway. This was after they spent what seemed like an eternity chasing another manager, one Murty had twice bettered in the immediate days leading up to Derek McInnes deciding to stay at Aberdeen.\nFast forward a few months and a crucial Scottish Cup semi-final with rivals Celtic. Victory and a possible trophy would have represented a satisfying conclusion to what was otherwise another disappointing campaign for the Ibrox faithful. Having narrowly lost to their rivals just a few weeks prior, confidence would obviously have been low. So, for whatever reason, chairman Dave King decided it was the right time to cast doubt on his manager\u2019s future in an address to prospective season-ticket holders, saying: \u201cwhoever is appointed must be able to meet the unique challenges of managing Rangers and ensuring immediate success.\u201d\nIt was therefore hardly a surprise when the Light Blues imploded at Hampden, both on and off the park, as they exited with a limp 4-0 defeat to their rivals.\nSkip a further two weeks and we get a similar situation. The club\u2019s board believe it\u2019s the ideal time to recruit themselves a new manager and sound out Steven Gerrard. They even hold talks with the Liverpool legend, if reports are to be believed. Having dragged their heels over getting a long-term replacement for Pedro Caixinha for six months now, it was baffling to see them decide the week before a trip to Celtic Park, where their rivals could win the league against them, that they suddenly needed to spring into action.\nA manager already undermined was on a hiding to nothing as his team lost 5-0. It was a result which flattered the visitors, who looked beaten before the match started.\nSo yes, Graeme Murty deserves our sympathy. However, that doesn\u2019t mean he should be exempt from criticism. He\u2019s been dealt a tough hand, but to say he\u2019s been given \u201cno chance\u201d is incredibly generous to the man and ignorant of his failings in the Ibrox dugout.\nHe may not have asked to be put in the position initially, but Murty said he wanted the job. He wasn\u2019t bound and gagged, propped up in the manager\u2019s office with some henchman occasionally checking in to replenish his food and water and maybe get the tactics for the weekend\u2019s visit of Kilmarnock. He wanted to be the football manager of Rangers. With that comes criticism when it\u2019s merited.\nThere also seems to be a bit of recency bias with regards to the \u201cimpossible job\u201d given to him. If it was indeed impossible then how come so many were behind his stewardship just a couple of months back? Was he working a near miracle to have Rangers on the fringe of maybe challenging Celtic prior to the league defeat at Ibrox? Was it something special to beat the likes of St Johnstone, Hamilton, Ross County and Hearts (while still losing to Hibs) with the second most expensively assembled squad in the country?\nThe Celtic defeats haven\u2019t occurred in a vacuum. After the 3-2 loss in which Brendan Rodgers visibly outsmarted him tactically despite having a man disadvantage due to Jozo Simunovic\u2019s red card, Murty and Rangers followed it up by netting only one point over the next two matches against Kilmarnock and Motherwell. Then there\u2019s the aforementioned defeats prior to the \u201ccaretaker\u201d tag dropping from his job title. All of this goes into judging the man. You can\u2019t just disregard it because he was supposed to be interim. He\u2019s the one leading the team, setting out the tactics, motivating the players. The evidence is there.\nOf course, there\u2019s the squad mutiny of recent weeks, with Andy Halliday and Daniel Candeias so brazenly undermining his authority before Kenny Miller and Lee Wallace (allegedly) did something similar in the dressing room. Now, it is almost impossible for a manager to do a decent job if he loses the dressing room. And, again, he does deserve a little bit of sympathy for this. Those players should have been more professional and are not exempt from criticism.\nHowever, keeping the dressing room onside is what helps make you a good manager. Yes the board played their part, but when Rangers were winning matches there wasn\u2019t any trouble from the players. It only started when they recognised what the fans did - he wasn\u2019t the man for the job. It\u2019s not a stretch to suggest they\u2019d have revolted with or without King\u2019s untimely intervention.\nAs manager of Rangers you are scrutinised for every decision made. And over the course Murty\u2019s didn\u2019t stand up. He never fixed the defensive issues. Nor did he find a central midfield unit which worked for more than a match or two at a time. He didn\u2019t know what to do with Jason Cummings. And, ironically given the Halliday tantrum, he was often too hesitant to make substitutions when things weren\u2019t going well.\nMurty was not the man to lead Rangers, not at this moment in time and, after what\u2019s happened, quite likely never. The way things were headed, the Ibrox side were going to finish the season in fourth place, which would have forced the supporters into the embarrassing situation of having to endure the Scottish Cup final knowing they\u2019d need a Celtic treble triumph to get them into Europe. Yes there have been extenuating circumstances. Yes he hasn\u2019t been treated fairly. But even with this Rangers squad, and it\u2019s obvious flaws, he should have been doing better. He\u2019s rightly paid the price for failing to do so.\nREAD MORE - Steven Gerrard confirms \u2018positive talks\u2019 with Rangers",

        "raw_content": "Nearly every movie produced today is available on DVD, and many older movies are being moved to the DVD format. Often, a movie comes out on DVD before it comes out on videotape, because the manufacturing and distribution costs for DVDs are so much lower! By bringing outstanding picture and sound to our favorite films, the DVD format is doing for movies exactly what CDs did for music.\nA DVD is very similar to a CD, but it has a much larger data capacity. A standard DVD holds about seven times more data than a CD does. This huge capacity means that a DVD has enough room to store a full-length, mpeg-2-encoded movie, as well as a lot of other information.\nHere are the typical contents of a DVD movie:\n1). Up to 133 minutes of high-resolution video, in letterbox or pan-and-scan format, with 720 dots of horizontal resolution (The video compression ratio is typically 40:1 using MPEG-2 compression.)\n2). Soundtrack presented in up to eight languages using 5.1 channel Dolby digital surround sound\n3). Subtitles in up to 32 languages\nDVD can also be used to store almost eight hours of CD-quality music per side.\nDVD Advantages\n1). DVD picture quality is better, and many of DVDs have Dolby Digital or DTS sound, which is much closer to the sound you experience in a movie theater.\n2). Many DVD movies have an on-screen index, where the creator of the DVD has labeled many of the significant parts of the movie, sometimes with a picture. With your remote, if you select the part of the movie you want to view, the DVD player will take you right to that part, with no need to rewind or fast-forward.\n3). DVD players are compatible with audio CDs.\n4). Some DVD movies have both the letterbox format, which fits wide-screen TVs, and the standard TV size format, so you can choose which way you want to watch the movie.\n5). DVD movies may have several soundtracks on them, and they may provide subtitles in different languages. Foreign movies may give you the choice between the versions dubbed into your language, or the original soundtrack with subtitles in your language. a",

The second day will be devoted to presentations and dialogue related to workplace and community health among global business and health leaders.\nCommenting on the awards, Dave Guilmette, President of Cigna\u2019s Global Employer Segment, said, \u201cCommunities and workplaces around the world are facing rising chronic disease and escalating health care costs. Cigna is convening global experts to shine a light on best practices that will make workplaces more productive and competitive and, in doing so, will improve the state of global health.\u201d\nWhy promote workplace health?\nThe European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) has published two new reports on the factors motivating employers and workers to carry out and participate in workplace health promotion activities.\nThe first report focuses on the motivating factors for employers to carry out programmes, and the second on the motivation for workers to participate.\nIt is argued that workplace health promotion programmes can benefit everyone \u2013 workers, companies and society.\nThe researchers say that workplace health promotion \u201cmeans more than simply meeting the legal requirements on health and safety\u201d but also encompasses \u201cemployers actively helping their staff improve their own general health and wellbeing\u201d.\nWorkplace health promotion programmes are often closely related to risk assessment and may focus on various key areas, including:\nParticipation of employees in the process of improving work organisation\nActive involvement and consultation of employees in improving their work environment\nRaising the topic of healthy eating at work, giving information on healthy nutrition as well as offering healthy canteen food or facilities to prepare food\nTobacco awareness, including smoking cessation programmes and a comprehensive smoking ban at the whole company site\nMental health promotion, such as courses for managers on stress and tension within teams and the opportunity for anonymous psychological consultancy for employees\nExercises and physical activity, offering sport courses, encouraging physical activity, and promoting an active and healthy culture at work\nHealth monitoring, offering checks such as blood pressure or cholesterol level\n\u0007Any measure aimed at enhancing wellbeing at work, for example enabling flexible working hours or working from home.\nThe reports note that by making workers feel better and healthier, workplace health promotion leads to many positive consequences such as:\nReduced turnover and absenteeism\nImproving the employer\u2019s image as a positive and caring organisation.\nOne in five workers don\u2019t take lunch at all\nA new survey by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) has found that one in five workers fail to take a lunch break during the working week and nearly a third think bosses do not care very much about their health.\nThe survey results were released in the run up to National Heart Month in February 2013 and also found that:\nMore than a quarter of people believe that being healthy at work is important, but that the economy means their health is not a priority for their boss\nMore than two-thirds believe their boss should be taking responsibility for their health at work\nNearly one in five workers do absolutely no physical activity during working hours\nAround a third of people resort to chocolate as a pick-me-up to help them get through the working day, while over two in five rely on a cup of coffee\nAlmost half feel stressed at work on a daily basis.\nDuring National Heart Month, the BHF is encouraging people to sign up to its free Health at Work programme, which offers:\nA welcome pack, including a quick guide to health at work\nA health at work e-newsletter\n\u0007Resources on physical activity, healthy eating and mental well-being\nTools and posters to download\n\u0007Access to Heart Matters \u2013 a free service for staff to help keep hearts healthy\n\u0007Access to an online community where members can share ideas and tips.\nThe Health at Work programme is being supported by former javelin world champion Fatima Whitbread who said, \u201cI\u2019m calling on bosses all over the UK to step up to the plate and help colleagues get fit, eat well and look after their mental well-being \u2026 Why not sign up to the BHF\u2019s Health at Work programme and make it your mission to kick-start your company\u2019s health in 2013?\u201d\nGo to www.bhf.org.uk/healthatwork to sign up today.",

        "raw_content": "Trump borrows from playbooks of gangs, dictators\nBy Michael O\u2019Hare June 23, 2018 Updated: June 23, 2018 8:22 p.m.\nIn this June 18, 2018 photo, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen speak to the media during the daily briefing in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House. Nielsen is drafting an executive action for President Donald Trump that would direct DHS to keep families apprehended at the border together during detention. That's according to two people familiar with her thinking who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the effort before its official announcement. It's unclear whether the president is supportive of the measure. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)\nIn a contest to see who is the most savage \u2014 Donald Trump or the people he most envies \u2014 Trump appears to have blinked, but don\u2019t believe it. He has already imprisoned and hidden several thousand children away from their parents, and that will be sufficient for several more rounds of play. In any case, the executive order \u201cagainst separating families\u201d he swore up and down he could not issue has a varied toolkit for mistreating whole families, children and all, whose sins are to want (1) to live and raise their kids, and (2) (the really unforgivable, insulting, offense) to be Americans.\nHe and his gang remain determined that the United States is not going to succor victims if they can help it.\nWho is at the table in this game? On one side are the gang leaders and corrupt, murderous police in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. These guys are the real thing, cut from the same cloth as Trump\u2019s better-known heroes Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and Rodrigo Duterte. They kill, imprison, dismember and rape as a conscious managerial/motivational technique. They are about making money and making people fear them, just like Trump.\nLife is so ghastly in these places (when the gang comes to conscript your teenage son or enslave your daughter, it\u2019s not a request; it\u2019s your life and the kids\u2019 on the line) that thousands of families have hit the road on a dangerous trip through Mexico to present themselves to the United States as refugees.\nTrump\u2019s idea (served up to him by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and immigration policy adviser Stephen Miller) is to make the United States even more hostile and dangerous than the places they are fleeing. It had three parts, an irresistible hat trick, especially for an amoral narcissist surrounded by sycophants and playing to Fox News (and Putin, of course).\nFirst, characterize these refugees (and actually all immigrants) against all the facts as dangerous criminals.\nSecond, make it known to refugees from the hellholes south of Mexico that they will be so abused should they reach the United States (here\u2019s where breaking up the families was just the ticket), that that fear, added to the cost and hazards of the journey itself, will make them stay home and be killed quietly.\nThird, turn refugees away from the ports of entry where they can apply for refugee status, and seize the kids when mom and dad commit the misdemeanor of walking across wherever they can and trying to apply at a U.S. Border Patrol station. This is just catnip for the fearful, vengeful core of Trump\u2019s political base and only draws the meekest diffidence from a few congressional Republicans.\nThe whole project, unfortunately, appears to have had the same high-quality, tough-minded Republican planning and foresight as the Iraq invasion, so we have Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in a press conference admitting that she has no idea what\u2019s actually happening on the border, and a whole government that has lost track of the girls and subteen children it confiscated.\nRemarkably, the part about the kids (but nothing else) even revolted some of the most unregenerate nativists and haters in Trump\u2019s coalition, and some of them have dragged him to be the last public figure in the United States to figure out that tearing children away from their parents was a bad political move. This means he has lost a round and shown weakness: Trump\u2019s insecurities, along with his cruelty and mendacity, assure that the Hannity-Bannon-Trump phone lines will be humming, figuring out how to get back on the plan and be a winner again.\nIt\u2019s going to be extremely tedious to reconnect all those kids, some of whom don\u2019t even speak Spanish, never mind English, with parents of whom some have already been deported and the rest dispersed.\nShould we deport all the kids back to El Salvador in C54\u2019s, just dump them out on the tarmac alone? Put them in Magdalene work camps and rent them out to farmers and Trump hotels at low rates? When the first kid dies of heat prostration in one of those tents in the sun, should we quietly bury him, or make a PR event out of it? When it turns out some of the girls have been sexually abused in our hands, will that be a feature or a bug? Trump is losing the \u2018toughness\u2019 = cruelty contest, but only for the moment: He doesn\u2019t do \u201csorry\u201d and he doesn\u2019t do losing.\nMichael O\u2019Hare is a professor at the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley.",

        "raw_content": "How are your programs funded?\nEach program is funded differently. We receive a monthly payment from each enrolled Medi-Cal member; The City and federal governments for Healthy Workers HMO members, and the City, County, San Francisco Children and Families Commission, and other sources for the Healthy Kids HMO members. With the exception of no-cost Medi-Cal, members contribute to the cost of their insurance through small monthly or annual payments, and low co-pays for certain medical services. For more information on how San Francisco Health Plan programs are funded, click here.\nWe are a government entity. In the early 1990s, the State authorized counties to create their own HMOs. In 1994, the City created the San Francisco Health Authority, which now operates San Francisco Health Plan. Although, we work closely with the San Francisco Department of Public Health, we are separate from the City. We have no access to the City\u2019s treasury and are not part of the City\u2019s organizational structure. Instead, we report to our own Governing Board. For more information on the history of San Francisco Health Plan, click here.\nWho is on your Governing Board?\nThere are 19 seats on our Governing Board, each of which is reserved for a person representing a particular San Francisco group. For example, a few groups represented are; the San Francisco Department of Public Health, the University of California, the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor, as well as representatives from our major medical groups. All Governing Board meetings are open to the public. For a complete list of current members, click here.\nCan I be insured through San Francisco Health Plan?\nMaybe. Visit our \u201cDo You Qualify?\u201d page to see if you might qualify for one of our programs. Email your question to our Enrollment Team or call us at 1(888) 558-5858 and we will help you figure out if there\u2019s a program that fits you.\nWho are your health care providers?\nOur providers include doctors, nurse practitioners, clinics, and hospitals, all of which share our commitment to making sure San Franciscans have access to health care. For a complete list of our provider network, visit Our Network in the Providers section.\nOur membership reflects the diversity of San Francisco, including adults, young adults, and children from low to moderate-income families. Additionally, our members are disabled and aged adults receiving Medi-Cal, people working for the IHSS Authority, Homebridge, and some temporary employees of the City and County of San Francisco. The majority of our members speak a language other than English as their primary language. To meet our members\u2019 needs, our Customer Service and Community Outreach teams are bi-lingual and bi-cultural (and sometime even tri-lingual and tri-cultural). Our provider directories, member materials, health education materials, and even this website are published in multiple languages.",

This investment will start on 1 March 2014 and is expected to support around \u00a3450 million of lending over the next 18 months.\nThis builds on an earlier investment of \u00a320 million in Funding Circle in December 2012 through the Business Finance Partnership (BFP), a scheme which led to the current Business Bank Investment Programme.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Books \u00bb Book Review \u00bb REVIEW: Shadow\u2019s Lure by Jon Sprunk\nREVIEW: Shadow\u2019s Lure by Jon Sprunk\nPosted on May 15, 2012 by Jaym Gates in Book Review // 1 Comment\nREVIEW SUMMARY: A strong Sword and Sorcery flavored with Epic Fantasy.\nBRIEF SYNOPSIS: Nimea and the surrounding nations are threatened by a faceless threat from the north. Standing against this threat are a young Empress, a tortured swordsman, and a boy struggling with fears of cowardice.\nPROS: Well-plotted with a steady pace and good character development.\nCONS: Drags just a little in the middle.\nBOTTOM LINE: Readers expecting the quick-read sword and sorcery will probably be stymied by the bones of epic fantasy Sprunk uses to flesh out the story. For epic fantasy fans looking to expand their libraries with faster-paced work, this is a good place to start.\nShadow\u2019s Lure is the second book in Jon Sprunk\u2019s epic fantasy series. I accidentally read this and the third book (Shadow\u2019s Master) without having read the first one (Shadow\u2019s Son). However, I was able to pick up the story without much issue, but also without feeling like Sprunk was info-dumping on the reader. The two books are each a cohesive adventure within a larger arc, so they read less like a trilogy and more like independent books in a series.\nShadow\u2019s Lure, which opens with a bit of treachery, is the slowest book in the trilogy since it focuses on showing the transition of the characters as they come into their own. Sprunk takes the time to explore and develop his characters and the relationships between them. The result is a depth of character that is often missing in Sword and Sorcery:\nKeegan has gone with his chieftain to witness the peace-meet, where the tribes are meeting to discuss the threat of the Eveskines and their Northmen. Their worries will not last long, however: the Northmen crash the party and wipe out the chieftains in one stroke. Only Keegan escapes, ordered by his chieftain to get away and alert the rest of their people. Feeling a coward, he flees from the carnage.\nJosey has recently lost her father and become the Empress of Nimea. Facing an impoverished, war-torn nation only recently liberated from the tyranny of the Church, surrounded by traitors and ladder-climbers, separated from everyone she knows, the young Empress fights for survival and reconstruction. Her efforts are hampered by the sabotage of the Church, by political upheaval, her own inexperience, a secret, and, if things weren\u2019t rough enough, an unkillable assassin. This assassin can take anyone\u2019s body, and the best soldiers in Nimea can barely wound it. As war threatens from all sides, Josey has to take the reins and become the strong Empress her nation needs.\nCaim is a killer. His parents were murdered in front of his eyes. He knows he is not an acceptable match for Josey. He\u2019s fled Nimea, traveling north on the rumors of mad, dead churchmen and his own dark dreams.\nKit is not human, but she likes humans, and travels with Caim, helping him when she feels like it. She is the weakest of the characters, but since the real strength of the series lies in the incredible humanness of the characters, it perhaps throws Kit\u2019s lesser development into an unfairly stark contrast.\nShadow\u2019s Master is a powerful ending to the trilogy. Violence and death are common, but not cheap, in these books. The trials and pain of a long, icy-cold journey are clearly portrayed, and the characters suffer mightily. The main characters aren\u2019t the only ones with stakes, and the secondary characters aren\u2019t the only ones to suffer. The action picks up and all of the loose threads start coming together to be tied off handily. The secondary characters are not left two-dimensional in favor of the major players.\nThe series is dark, very dark, but it is not Grim!Dark, and this is a pleasant change from the latest trend. There is lightness, humor, and genuine emotion, and that is all too rare.\nReaders expecting the quick-read sword and sorcery will probably be stymied by the bones of epic fantasy Sprunk uses to flesh out the story. For epic fantasy fans looking to expand their libraries with faster-paced work, this is a good place to start.\nBOOK REVIEW: Shadow\u2019s Master by Jon Sprunk\nShadow's Lure\nThe SF Signal Podcast (Episode 108): 2012 Sword & Sorcery Mega Panel Part 1\n[GUEST POST] Garrett Calcaterra on Epic Fantasy and How J.R.R.

Under the name D.B. Jackson, he writes the Thieftaker Chronicles, a historical urban fantasy from Tor Books that includes Thieftaker, Thieves\u2019 Quarry, A Plunder of Souls, and, the newest volume, Dead Man\u2019s Reach, which was released July 21. Under his own name, he writes The Case Files of Justis Fearsson, a contemporary urban fantasy from Baen Books. The first volume, Spell Blind, debuted in January 2015. The newest book in the series, His Father\u2019s Eyes, comes out on August 4. He lives on the Cumberland Plateau with his wife and two daughters. They\u2019re all smarter and prettier than he is, but they keep him around because he makes a mean vegetarian fajita. When he\u2019s not writing he likes to hike, play guitar, and stalk the perfect image with his camera.\nCommunity and Genre, Part II\nby David B. Coe/D.B. Jackson\nHello again, SF Signal-heads! I\u2019m back, continuing my blog tour to promote my two big summer releases. Dead Man\u2019s Reach, the fourth and (for now) final volume in the Thieftaker Chronicles, the historical urban fantasy I write under the name D.B. Jackson, came out from Tor Books on July 21. And His Father\u2019s Eyes, the second book in a contemporary urban fantasy I write as David B. Coe, came out from Baen Books yesterday. I hope you\u2019ll check out both novels.\nI was here two weeks ago, writing about the science fiction/fantasy genre, and I would like to continue that conversation today.\nI live in a small college town in the Southeast, which happens to be home to a prestigious writer\u2019s conference and one of the oldest literary journals in the country. Not surprisingly, both the conference and the journal specialize in Southern literary fiction, which is fine. Good for them. They also cater to poetry and creative non-fiction.\nBut they want nothing at all to do with genre fiction. I have lived in this town for twenty-three years, and for eighteen of those years I have been a professional writer. I\u2019ve published close to twenty novels and nearly as many short stories. I\u2019ve won awards, garned great reviews, taught extensively at writer\u2019s workshops and conferences, and been a faculty mentor in a university master\u2019s program. Never once has my local writer\u2019s conference invited me to be any part of their program.\nThe ghettoization of genre fiction by those who consider themselves part of a literary elite is nothing new, but it\u2019s lack of novelty doesn\u2019t keep it from being annoying. The assumption has always been that those writing genre rely on narrative devices \u2014 violence, sex, magic, technological jargon \u2014 rather than on the crucial elements of writing, like character, story, and prose. I happen to think this is a load of crap. I read extensively in speculative fiction and have found brilliant work, filled with memorable characters, strikingly innovative stories, and gorgeous prose. And, by the way, I feel that I\u2019ve written some pretty good stuff myself.\nSadly, I noticed early in my career that this kind of literary snobbery extends to genre fiction as well. Even as writers and readers of the various genres chafe at the arrogance of the literary fiction community, they are guilty of the same thing. Some mystery readers look down their noses at fantasy and SF. Some speculative fiction readers look askance at romance. And so on.\nI will admit that I was guilty of this sort of thing. I didn\u2019t think much of romance. I thought that media tie-in work was somehow \u201cless\u201d than my own \u201coriginal fiction.\u201d Until I did some media work. Until I met and befriended romance writers. Now I know how wrong I was. Writing is hard work. Completing and selling a novel takes talent, dedication, and tremendous perseverance. Writing a decent, marketable short story is REALLY hard. I don\u2019t care what kind of book or story we\u2019re talking about. Publishing anything is an achievement.\nWhich is why it is so very disturbing to see different constituencies within the speculative fiction community questioning the value of each other\u2019s work. We share so much. We are writing in a new publishing environment, one that is still sorting itself out. The competition for shelf space is greater than ever. The publishing industry continues to reshuffle and contract. Big-name bookstores are more interested in selling stuffed animals and toys than they are in marketing books. These are challenging times for all of us. And yet we keep at it, because we are, all of us, passionate about storytelling. We love the written word, we love this crazy, beautiful genre in which we write.\nHow strange then, that we should be looking for lines of division rather than focusing on our commonalities. We owe ourselves better. We owe our readers better. We ought to be mature and tolerant enough to understand that even if we don\u2019t enjoy another writer\u2019s work, we can still honor the achievement of the finished product, and respect the legitimacy of the vision behind it. Surely there is room in this genre for quiet stories and loud ones, for the old-fashioned and the new-and-weird, for space opera and epic fantasy, for military SF and urban fantasy, for writers of all races, religions, sexual orientations, and gender identities. If you don\u2019t want to read all of these stories, if you don\u2019t want to follow all of these writers, you don\u2019t have to. No one is forcing anyone to do anything.\nBut it is one thing to choose. It is something else entirely to dismiss. It is time that we as a community recognize the difference.\nDavid B. Coe (a.k.a.

Coe (aka D.B. Jackson) on Community and Genre (Part 2)\nAmanda Hagarty // August 5, 2015 at 12:09 pm //\nI feel your pain. I grew up in Canada. Lived there 80% of my life. I took a few creative writing classes in high school and university, but as passionate as I was about writing SFF stories, I always ran into teachers who were discouraging. \u201cWellll\u2026your Canadian. What you should be writing is something of epic literary magnitude, which portrays your sublime Canadianness and becomes a national treasure.\u201d I was basically told commercial genre fiction was not open to Canadians or worth pursuing.\nOf course now with self publishing none of that matters\u2026and yet I finally come back to writing after decades of discouragement and I hear \u201cWellllll, your a woman\u2026what you should be writing is strong female characters that will reflect your sumblime womanness, and become a treasure of the gender equality movement\u2026\u201d\nFor crying out loud. I\u2019m gonna write what I\u2019m gonna write!\nDavid B. Coe // August 5, 2015 at 12:21 pm //\nAmanda, this is a terrific comment, the reflects perfectly what I\u2019m talking about. I took a creative writing course in a college, thinking at the time I would be a professional writer. The course was a disaster, mostly because nearly everyone in the course savaged my work. Not because it was bad \u2014 though, sure, it needed work \u2014 but because it was the wrong kind of writing for an Ivy League student to write. I gave up on being a creative writing major and took a 10 year detour to graduate school and academia. I wound up becoming a writer anyway, but no thanks to that course or program.\nWrite what you love, love what you write. And respect the work of others, even if you don\u2019t necessarily enjoy it personally. Thanks again for the comment.\n*that* reflects perfectly . . . \u2014 sigh \u2014\nI should have also said, \u201cAnd proof read your posts BEFORE you submit them.\u201d\nYup. See that is me to a tee. I took a detour from writing because of all the lines drawn and pigeonholes I didn\u2019t fit in. And now I am back\u2026enjoying a modicum of success on Wattpad and trying to get myself ready to actually put my stories out for sale \ud83d\ude42\nRe: the typo. Smart phones have erased any spelling/grammar snobbery I once had. In fact, I didn\u2019t even notice the typo until u pointed it out\u2026probably because I was reading on my smart phone. My brain has learned to automatically translate typonese.\nDavid B. Coe // August 5, 2015 at 8:10 pm //\nRe. The typonese, I totally get that, and I do it, too. But there\u2019s something about it that\u2019s just wrong, you know? We should still care about that stuff. But that\u2019s not to the point at all. Good for you for writing again. Keep at it, and best of luck.",

I Heart Radio, formerly Clear Channel, rounds up all the big top 40 acts of the year and sends them on the road for a jukebox tour of America. Each act does a few songs, teenage girls scream, and lots of merchandise is sold. It\u2019s always been a lot of fun.\nBut this year, maybe not so much. The main stars are Shawn Mendes (talented, yes), Cardi B (an attraction), and Calvin Harris (deejay, ex boyfriend of Taylor Swift). Also featured, in different cities, Alessia Cara (one hit, \u201cScars\u201d), Marshmello, Khalid, and in a couple of major markets, Camilla Cabello.\nThis year\u2019s Jingle Ball is not every exciting. That\u2019s not the fault of the promoter. It\u2019s just a generation has aged out. Taylor Swift and Katy Perry are old, as in o-l-d. Demi Lovato is old and in rehab. Justin Bieber is married, maybe having a nervous breakdown, buying mansions. Ariana Grande is engaged, taking it easy, not into it. Charlie Puth? He\u2019s over it, too, I guess. And where is that South Korean boy band?\nWho you\u2019re not going to see this year: Drake, the best selling artist of the last 12 months, or Kendrick Lamar.\nThat Cardi B is who the Jingle Ball is relying on says a lot. She\u2019s an attraction, not an artist. She\u2019s what they call a novelty act. Mendes looks like he\u2019s carrying the weight of the tour to major cities and even minor ones. Well, he\u2019s 20, he has the energy, he can take it.\nBut pop looks pretty pooped from this selection. And rock is just about dead.

        "raw_content": "Freakonomics in Chinese\nLast night while on an evening stroll around Zhongshan Park I was surprised to discover that the pirated book man (he pushes his goods around in a big cart) had a copy of the Chinese version of Freakonomics.\nThe book was good quality, except for the occasional misalligned printing which plagues pirated books. The cover certainly looks fine, although I was disappointed to see the trademark apple/orange image (see the book\u2019s own website if you\u2019re unfamiliar with the book) replaced by the lame wolf/sheep image. Why would they do that?\nThe other thing is the name. The translator chose to represent Freakonomics, a blend of the words \u201cfreak\u201d and \u201ceconomics\u201d as \u9b54\u9b3c\u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66, which literally means \u201cdevil economics.\u201d OK, so the name Freakonomics is hard to translate, but \u201cdevil economics?\u201d Yet another translation challenge unmet. Maybe \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66?\nbookspiracyShanghaitranslation\n\u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66? I love it. It definitely conveys what \u201cfreakonomics\u201d is about better than \u201cdevil economics\u201d does to me as a non-native speaker.\nKatja Says: June 20, 2006 at 4:25 pm\nWell, the wolf is dressed up as a sheep. If they translated the title as \u201cDevil Economics\u201d then I gather they are positioning the book as one that deals with economic\u2019s hidden evils, i.e. economics as a (predatory) wolf disguised as a (gentle, harmless) sheep.\nOf course, this interpretation is entirely from my Western point of view. I have no idea if the sheep (lamb) \u2013 wolf symbolism exists in Chinese culture.\nBut that\u2019s not what the book is about at all.\nBy the way, that\u2019s a FOX not a wolf on the cover.\nChina Law Blog Says: June 20, 2006 at 9:45 pm\nInteresting. Though the piracy aspect is not a good thing, it is a good thing this book is getting out. It is the probing, critical, liberal arts education the Chinese never really get.\nGood work, John. As a Chinese, i think \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 is definitely better than \u9b54\u9b3c\u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66 as it captures the essence of the English title. Not surprisingly, Chinese always translates movie/book title badly. For example, for movie \u201cThe Day After Tomorrow\u201d, in Taiwan it\u2019s called \u660e\u5929\u4ee5\u540e, but in China, it\u2019s \u540e\u5929. And what is \u201cTop Gun\u201d called for Chinese people? \u597d\u5927\u4e00\u652f\u67aa\ndamao Says: June 21, 2006 at 4:58 am\nUm\u2026 I agree that \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 is very clever and all. Trouble is, when people actually talk about the book, it will sound exactly like \u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66, which sucks. It\u2019s pretty much equivalent to calling a book \u201cEconomix\u201d in English:\nA: \u201cHey, have you read that book, Economix?\u201d\nB: \u201cWhat, you mean like a high school textbook or something?\u201d\nA: \u201cNo, no\u2026. See, it\u2019s like economics, except with it\u2019s mix, m-i-x, instead of \u2026 [boring explanation].\u201d\nSo although \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 is pretty cool in written form, it\u2019s not very catchy, and requires an explanation every time you talk about it, otherwise to most people you\u2019re just saying \u201ceconomics\u201d. Unlike Freakonomics, which has a distinct ptronunciation. In that sense, \u9b54\u9b3c\u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66, though certainly not perfect, does have the originality/weirdness that the English title had. It\u2019s all about word of mouth marketing\u2026\nPlus, discussing the book in an intelligent manner (say, in academic circles) would be next to impossible, because you\u2019d have two words with a different but closely related meaning with the exact same pronunciation:\nA: \u54ce\u5440\uff01 \u4e0d\u662f\u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66\uff0c \u662f\u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66\uff01\nWhen you want to coin a new term, it\u2019s probably wise not to choose an exact synonym of a word that already exists in the same discipline. Just my two cents\u2026\nNobu Says: June 21, 2006 at 8:23 am\ndamao Says: June 21, 2006 at 10:16 am\nOops\u2026 In that last sentence I mean to write \u201chomophone\u201d and not \u201csynonym\u201d. Sorry about that\u2026\nTek Says: June 21, 2006 at 10:52 am\nHere\u2019s what the author, himself, says about the Chinese translation:\n\u201cI am told that the title of the book is \u201cDevil\u2019s Economics\u201d in Chinese. I kind of like that!\u201d\nhttp://www.freakonomics.com/blog/2006/05/06/the-devil-in-the-pulpit/\nJeff Says: June 21, 2006 at 12:02 pm\nThe devil is a trickster, I like the real fake title! And the wolf in sheep clothing thing is Chinese as well as English\u2026yeah the two together give an impression of something dangerous, but the contents are hardly a diatribe about the evils of economic analysis.\nHaving read the book recently (a bootleg of the book, but in English), I was very dissappointed. I recall it as a very interestesting New York Times Magazine article, it was then padded with a bunch of BS and stuff that wasn\u2019t even true \u2013 the idea that Superman scriptwriters took down the KKK, for instance.\nKatja Says: June 21, 2006 at 12:39 pm\nOh, I did not mean to imply that this is what the book is ACTUALLY about.\nIt\u2019s not unusual that cover illustrations imply the book is about one thing and then it turns out to be about something completely different. Ditto for \u201ctranslations\u201d of book titles. While I cannot speak for the Chinese book market, I have seen this with Persian and Arabic translations of books (and of course the same goes for English translations of Arabic or Persian books). Not infrequently books get \u201cappropriated\u201d by other cultures and become embedded in rather different discourses. Even if the content remains largely the same, it is fed into a different \u201cconversation\u201d.\nOf course I am just speculating here. But since you were stumped, I thought I would throw it out there.\nI guess only way to confirm or discount this guess is to ask Chinese colleagues and friends. I\u2019d be curious to hear their take on the cover and their readings of the book.\nOh. It IS a fox! My fault for not wearing glasses and enlarging the picture when looking at this. Well the wolf \u2013 sheep thing would have been too neat.\nzhwj Says: June 21, 2006 at 1:44 pm\nMoney: Thanks for that explanation. A while back I was reading a transcript of a talk show from Taiwan where guests were discussing differences between the mainland and the island, and used the \u201cDay after tomorrow\u201d example. Only it wasn\u2019t identified as the movie \u2013 so I, and lots of forum commenters, were under the impression that Taiwanese actually say \u660e\u5929\u4ee5\u540e instead of \u540e\u5929 on a regular basis\u2026.seems so obvious, now.\nPeng Says: June 21, 2006 at 2:46 pm\nIt looks more coyote than wolf and fox\u2026\nedo mandarin Says: June 21, 2006 at 4:47 pm\n\u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 is really fantastic name of the book.Actually, I think many translations in chinese is really successful. \u201cgone with the wind\u201d \u98d8\u3002waterloo bridge \u9b42\u65ad\u84dd\u6865\u3002Chinese is a coverall language.some times you will feel it beautiful.\nLennet Says: June 21, 2006 at 5:53 pm\nI agree Jeff. All I took away from the book was the premise that moralists study the way the world should work and economists study the way the world actually does work. It\u2019s a much broader view of economics than I was used to. But the book itself was pretty worthless.\ndamao,\nUpon first reading your comment, I thought you had a good point and I agreed. After thinking about it some more, though, I think that \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 would work. Why? Because when people said \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 they would not say it the same way they would say \u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66\u2013they would pause slightly before saying it, kind of like when we verbally add \u201cquotation marks\u201d to words in our speech. This slight pause would clue the listener in that something was up, causing him to either (a) realize the speaker was referring to \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 if he knew of the book, or (b) realize that it wasn\u2019t just a typical textbook on economics.\nI think there would be a little bit of the effect you describe, but not so much that it would be a problem, and it wouldn\u2019t cause more of a problen than a misleading translation of the title.\nNobu,\nThanks for the link; that\u2019s really cool! I think the Japanese translation is better than the Chinese translation, but it still has that \u201cdanger\u201d element, similar to \u9b54\u9b3c. I guess it\u2019s just what Katja hints at\u2013using a certain kind of translation to better appeal to the target audience. (Asians like danger!)\nThanks for that link! I didn\u2019t think to check the authors\u2019 blog. Interesting\u2026\n\u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66? Economix? It\u2019s too much of a crazy mix and match of meaning components for me\u2026 too much of a signosplice.\nI have a headache. I\u2019m going now.\nTravellers Tales Says: June 23, 2006 at 10:05 pm\nI like your alternate translation, John.\nI think the title Mogui Jingji is a reference to \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Dictionary\u201d by Ambrose Bierce, which was popular in China a decade back and known as Mogui Zidian. So any title beginning with Mogui now suggests to the Chinese reader that the book will be light, amusing, irreverent and iconoclastic. Perfect for Freakonomics.\nThanks, that does make sense.\nStill, though, in the case of \u201cThe Devil\u2019s Dictionary,\u201d at least the word \u2018devil\u2019 was in the title! It\u2019s best not to invent references if you don\u2019t have to.\namazing7up Says: June 26, 2006 at 10:24 pm\n\u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 is a wonderful name! But \u9b54\u9b3c\u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66 is ok,too.Both are attractive but the latter can be more easily understood.Maybe less people who don\u2019t care about economics don\u2019t know what is \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 about, but they will know that \u9b54\u9b3c\u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66 is something about economics. Maybe \u60ca\u6d4e\u5b66 is a better name for us who study economics:D\nzhwj Says: August 2, 2006 at 4:59 pm\nTurns out that for the Taiwan/Hong Kong edition (not sure which), not only did the publishers preserve the \u201ctrademark apple/orange image,\u201d but they used it for a title, too: \u82f9\u679c\u6a58\u5b50\u7ecf\u6d4e\u5b66.",

It is well written and from just a chapter in I felt both moved by the story and like I knew the characters well. There is such diversity and dynamic relationships between characters. I really look forward to reading more from this author.\nReview by: Melanie Adkins on March 19, 2012 :\nAsabe was married to the man she loved, Adam. She never wanted to be married to any other man. The only thing missing from their happy lives were children. Try as she might Asabe wasn't able to conceive. She didn't know at the time that Adam had a son by a Western woman. All she knew was Adam craved a son. Adam married twice and though he tried, he was given daughters. Asabe goes above and beyond as his first wife. She cooks, cleans, launders his clothing and keeps things running smoothly. His second wife was just a child when she first came to him and although it was tough, Asabe and Fatima became sisters. Adam's third wife was a selfish, arrogant, spoiled woman. Asabe and she had known each other as children. Now it would take every ounce of patience and faith Asabe had to deal with her. When it seems as though tragedy and heartbreak are all Adam's household will know, a miracle happens.\nHeartwarming, enriching and full of wonderful life lessons, this book should be on your list. The messages contained in this story are ones everyone can learn something from. Love, marriage, children and doing what's right are all included in this story. One woman endures so much to make her husband happy and to keep her life as peaceful as possible. I recommend this book to everyone. You will be amazed at all she goes through in her lifetime.\nI didn't find anything wrong with this one.\nI gave this one 5 out of 5 books because it was amazing.\nReview by: Patti on Feb. 22, 2012 :\nI saw the author's thread on MobileRead linking to this ebook, and decided to give it a shot. Even though I didn't know what to expect, I surprised myself - after reading part of the sample, I ended up reading the entire thing in one evening. It was emotionally satisfying, and I found that I came to care about some of the characters and what happened to them.\nI consider the story to be an intimate, domestic tale that is character-driven, and also situation-driven. There are no explosions, crimes, famous people or high adventure. We get to know the characters over the course of the story, and there is plenty of character development for some of the main characters as well as an interesting sub-plot. The back story was well placed, without too many flashbacks in too many places.\nThere are a few reasons the story gets 4 stars instead of 5 from me. First, there are times when the dialog is fairly formal, and suddenly a response will have modern slang from one of the characters who rarely or never uses such expressions and seems jarring when compared with the rest of the book. I also ran across some words that did not have the meanings that the author thought they did as the sentences didn't add up. I did check some of them in case I was mistaken and they had an additional meaning, but that wasn't the case for those words.\nOne last thing is that the author didn't write about what I think of as the payoff. I don't want to put any spoilers in this review, but when something happened that one of the main characters had been wishing for - in fact, dreaming of - for years occured, we didn't get to join her and her husband in person to share the news with them together in person. Instead, the author skipped forward a couple years in the future.\nThe bottom line is that even with some issues, I enjoyed this book enough to have finished it, and I expect to enjoy it in a few years when I re-read it. WIth a little editing, \"An Unproductive WOman\" could be even better, but as it is, it's a good read.\nReview by: lisa h on Feb. 5, 2012 :\nThis was just my kind of book. I have a love of books relating to other cultures like \"A Thousand Splendid Suns\", \"Snow Flower and the Secret Fan\". Although these books are possibly still in a different league to this and I gave them a 5* rating being my favourite books, I still gave this a 5* rating because I loved it.\nThe story is about the marriage of Asabe and Adam and his hidden secret. They have been married for 10 years but have not been able to have children. Although Adam loves Asabe and said he would never take another wife, he really wants a son and heir. He therefore takes a second wife Fatima, who is just a mere child. Fatima and Asabe actually become good friends and develop a good relationship. Fatima does eventually give birth to twins, but both her and her son die and Asabe willingly brings up the daughter as her own. Still wanting a son and heir, Adam takes another wife, who he doesn't really love but comes to an \"arrangement\" with her father. Asabe and this wife definately do not get on, despite being friends in their childhood. I won't tell more, for fear of leaving spoilers.\nI really liked Asabe, and although I found Adam somewhat weak I did feel for him. Asabe to me, was written as a strong character and I really admired her. Despite not liking the character Sauda, the third wife, I had such an amusing picture of her in my head. For those who watch the soap Eastenders in the UK, I pictured her as Kim Fox, brassy and over the top with lots of cleavage and heavily made up. That may not be how the author portrayed her but that is the image I got of her. I love a book when you can form a real picture of the characters in your head. I enjoyed reading about the culture of the polygamous wedding which is alien to a westerner.\nAll in all the book was descriptive, fun, full of content and well written.",

(United States)\nProceedings Volume 1952, Surveillance Technologies and Imaging Components; (1993) https://doi.org/10.1117/12.161401\nEvent: Optical Engineering and Photonics in Aerospace Sensing, 1993, Orlando, FL, United States\nA patented camera system for omnidirectional image viewing applications that provides pan, tilt, zoom, and rotational orientation within a hemispherical field-of-view utilizing no moving parts has been developed. The imaging device is based on the effect that the image from a fisheye lens, which produces a circular image of an entire hemispherical field-of-view, can be mathematically corrected using high speed electronic circuitry. More specifically, an incoming fisheye image from any image acquisition source is capture in memory of the device, a transformation is performed for the viewing region-of-interest and viewing direction, and a corrected image is output as a video image signal for viewing, recording, or analysis. As a result, this device can accomplish the functions of pan, tilt, rotation, and zoom throughout a hemispherical field-of-view without the need for any mechanical mechanisms. A programmable transformation process provides flexible control over viewing situations. Multiple images, each with different image magnifications and pin-tilt-rotate parameters, can be obtained from a single camera.\nSteven D. Zimmermann \"Electronic pan/tilt/zoom camera system\", Proc.

        "title": "One Beat Turns 10 - Stereogum",
        "raw_content": "One Beat Turns 10\nCREDIT: Sleater-Kinney - One Beat\nA couple of weeks after I graduated college, as a sort of birthday present to myself, I drove down to Washington, D.C. to see a couple of my favorite bands to play a show together at D.A.R. Constitution Hall, an old and ornate venue in the middle of the city. Belle And Sebastian, still a vaguely mysterious and culty concern, were headlining, but I was at least as interested in seeing their openers. Within seconds of them stepping onstage, though, it was pretty obvious that Constitution Hall was the wrong venue for Sleater-Kinney: Bare-bones setup at the middle of a gigantic stage, playing to an audience obviously there to dance horribly to the cuddlier headliner. (Seriously, Belle And Sebastian fans cannot dance.) I\u2019d already seen them play a couple of packed, sweaty shows at the Black Cat, and they were transcendent there, but this building was a different beast entirely. So here\u2019s how they responded. Without saying a word, they stepped to center-stage and belted out a swelling, ferocious song that I\u2019d never heard before. I remember sitting there, thinking to myself, \u201cIs this a cover? Or something from that first album that I still haven\u2019t heard? Fuck, I should buy that first album.\u201d But then they played another one that I didn\u2019t recognize, and it was even better. And then another. And another. Pretty soon, I stopped worrying about where I could find these songs, or whether they\u2019d play \u201cLittle Babies,\u201d and just let the brain-melt set in. When they finished their last one, Corin Tucker tossed her hair back and spoke to the audience for the first time: \u201cThanks. We\u2019re Sleater-Kinney, and that was our new album.\u201d After that, everything Belle And Sebastian did felt entirely anticlimactic. The album in question, One Beat, wouldn\u2019t come out for another two or three months. It\u2019s now my favorite album that anyone has released this century.\nOne Beat is one of those albums that I get all religious and fervent about; I can remember wanting to fight every rock critic who didn\u2019t have it at the top of a 2002 best-of list. (\u201cThe Streets? Fuck outta here with that.\u201d) We\u2019re not getting another album like it, from anyone, ever. The circumstances that went into the album\u2019s creation are just not duplicable. Corin Tucker, one of the preeminent songwriters of her generation, has a baby, her first. It\u2019s not an easy birth: Kid born two months premature, in the hospital for a while. He turns out OK. Then, a few months after the kid\u2019s birth, terrorists hijack planes and use them to attack the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, killing thousands. The American government panics, launches two wars, begs everyone to keep buying stuff. In the years since One Beat, I\u2019ve had a couple of kids myself, and I can attest to the furious, all-consuming protectiveness that takes over a new parent. What I can\u2019t imagine is how it feels to be a new parent who almost lost her baby, and who\u2019s watching the world go insane with violence and stupidity around her. Corin Tucker doesn\u2019t have to imagine it. She lived it, and she made an album about it. That album is One Beat.\nSleater-Kinney was one of the great American rock trios, so god knows I don\u2019t want to underplay Carrie Brownstein and Janet Weiss. They\u2019re all over the album. Brownstein has those cuttingly coy vocal interjections and those fuzzed-out guitar-hero leads. Weiss remains one of the most instinctive rock drummers ever, her controlled boom keeping time but also filling all the spaces that need filling. Anyone who\u2019s heard the Wild Flag album knows what they can do, even without Tucker. And the complicated, intuitive guitar interplay between Tucker and Brownstein \u2014 those riffs coiling and winding and answering each other like old friends in conversation \u2014 was always an absolute wonder to behold. But more than any other Sleater-Kinney album, One Beat belongs to Corin Tucker. This is the album where she really unleashed that feral, passionate howl, where it found the deepest extremes of gut-scrape. And her lyrics are just shattering things, all love and fear and anger and sadness and hope.\nIt\u2019s hard to even conceive of it now, but nobody much was saying anything critical of America\u2019s government or its leaders in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. You just weren\u2019t supposed to, and that flustered fear trickled though to just about every corner of society. Even as George W. Bush\u2019s warhawking became more obviously terrifying and insane, he got free reign to do whatever; ask every Democratic Senator who voted for the Iraq war. There were articles where leftist pundits wondered why indie bands weren\u2019t writing protest songs, and it was probably for the same reason that nobody was doing shit protest-wise; the wave of demonstrations around the inevitable beginning of the Iraq war felt like too little, too late. Well, Bush only gets half a bar on One Beat, but it\u2019s enough: \u201cAnd the president hides while working men rush in and give their lives.\u201d That was from \u201cFar Away,\u201d the opener, which feels like a vital historical document now, Tucker unloading all the confusion and terror she felt while nursing her baby and watching the towers fall on TV.\n\u201cFar Away\u201d is one of a handful of explicitly political songs on One Beat, and those songs are all vital and ferocious and still powerful now. But One Beat isn\u2019t strictly a protest album, and the songs about other things still bring that same intensity and commitment. \u201cOh!\u201d is a fun riot of a song about falling in love, losing yourself in someone; less than a year after One Beat came out, I used it to open the first mixtape that I gave the woman who\u2019s now my wife. \u201cStep Aside\u201d is a different sort of love song \u2014 it\u2019s the members of Sleater-Kinney singing about each other, about the (clearly audible) joy that they found playing music together. And the songs that sound something like filler here \u2014 \u201cPrisstina,\u201d \u201cLight Rail Coyote\u201d \u2014 would be highlights of just about any other album. But there\u2019s one song here that just levels me more than the others, and it\u2019s \u201cSympathy,\u201d the closer.\nThere are four songs that never fail to make me tear up a little whenever I play them: \u201cSympathy,\u201d the Mountain Goats\u2019 \u201cHas Thou Considered The Tetrapod?,\u201d and \u2014 if I\u2019m a little drunk, which I always am when I play them \u2014 UGK\u2019s \u201cOne Day\u201d and the Pogues\u2019 version of \u201cAnd The Band Played Waltzing Matilda.\u201d \u201cSympathy\u201d is the song where Tucker thanks God for the safe birth of her son \u2014 about the squarest thing you could possibly sing about. But it gets at that joy and triumph and gratitude \u2014 and the raw, urgent, world-obliterating fear and despair and protectiveness behind them. Tucker sings about hating the doctor who tells her everything bad that\u2019s happening, about trying to figure out what any of it means, about the smile on her kid\u2019s face. As the music drops out and the rest of the band chants almost animalistically behind her, Tucker yowls, \u201cWhen the moment strikes, it takes you by surprise, leaves you naked in the face of death and life. There is no righteousness in your darkest moment. We\u2019re all naked in the face of what we\u2019re most afraid of.\u201d Then her voice drops a bit, to the extent that a voice as huge as hers can drop: \u201cAnd I\u2019m so sorry for those who didn\u2019t make it, all the mommies who are left with their heart breaking.\u201d Seriously. This song obliterates me.\nThis is primal shit, so I\u2019m underselling the amount of craft that went into this. \u201cSympathy,\u201d like every song on this album, is an expert rock song \u2014 slow and twangy blues riff into cowbell thwacks into drunken-brontosaurus dual-guitar groove. And Sleater-Kinney, who started out strong and never, ever fell off, were at the height of their powers when they recorded this one. The riffs charge, the hooks stick, the tempo changes arrive at the perfect moments. If there\u2019s a little bit of on-paper clumsiness to the lyrics, the band sells those lines completely. Everyone knows her role. Even if the album didn\u2019t strike some deep, deep chords in me, I\u2019d still know that it was great. But when I think of One Beat, all I can think of is that hollowed-out feeling I get when I finish listening to \u201cSympathy,\u201d and how I always immediately put it right back on again.\nA couple of years after One Beat came out, I flew to Portland to interview the band for the now-defunct magazine Devil In The Woods. They were about to release The Woods, and they were a little more than a year away from breaking up. I spent a couple of days with them, and they were all three perfectly lovely people, great company. They all drove station wagons, and they all laughed at each other\u2019s jokes. The weekend before, they\u2019d had a Super Bowl party at Tucker\u2019s house. The first night I hung out with them, we went out for sushi, and I got drunk on sake because it was the only way I could stop my hands from shaking or my voice from trembling, and they graciously acted like they didn\u2019t notice. The next day, nursing a hangover, I went out to lunch with Tucker and tried to tell her what \u201cSympathy\u201d meant to me \u2014 how it made me think about my little sister, born a couple of months premature, and my mom, who almost died giving birth. I probably teared up a little just talking about the song. She was as warm and receptive as I could ever hope, but she didn\u2019t seem especially eager to talk about the song. I don\u2019t blame her. Most people who have been through that sort of trauma don\u2019t like to talk to strangers about it. God knows I wouldn\u2019t be. But she did something better than talk about it: She sang about it. And we should be grateful.\nTags: Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker, Janet Weiss, Sleater-Kinney",

        "raw_content": "Car Accidents /Car Accident FAQ /What is Bad Faith?\nAn Explanation of Insurance Bad Faith in Car Accident Cases\nThis is a legal term to describe wrongful actions on behalf of an insurance company. Insurance companies and their policyholders enter into a contractual agreement with each other regarding coverage. In the case of car accidents, you would be dealing with an auto insurance policy contract. The contract contains many facets but basically says that as long as you pay your monthly premiums, your insurance provider will provide you with the necessary coverage stated in the terms of your contract.\nIn the event of a car accident, you will report this to your insurance company. If there were other drivers involved in the accident, they will also have to report the accident to their insurance company. If the other driver was at-fault in the accident, then they will be responsible for providing you with the necessary compensation up to the amount of coverage in the at-fault driver's policy. What can sometimes go wrong is when an insurance company provides less compensation than the amount actually deserved or they can even wrongfully deny a claim.\nThere are a few ways you may be able to detect insurance bad faith. For one, if your claim was denied then the insurance company will have to issue a notice of denial which will explain why your claim was denied. If the reasons for denial are not true, then you can file a request for reconsideration and include any necessary information to get your claim approved. The denial may have simply been an oversight, but there is a chance it could be bad faith practices.\nInsurance bad faith also may be a factor if the insurance company is refusing to return your calls or keep in communication with you. Avoidance is one of the more obvious signs of bad faith practices. If you believe that bad faith might be a factor in your car accident case, please get in touch with the legal team at our firm immediately.\nQuestions?

        "raw_content": "Finding Forrest\nTaking photos in a forest can be difficult. It's often hard to find something that turns out well in a photograph. It's difficult to convey the depth of a forest in a two dimnensional medium. But if you look hard enough, sometimes you get lucky. I made this shot on Deer Mountain in Ketchikan, Alaska when we were went on a hike on one of our excursions from an Alaskan cruise last year. This stream bed provided just the right reference point to make a shot inside the forest.\nI made this on one of our Alaskan Cruise excursions in May on the White Pass and Yukon Railroad. We were headed back to Skagway after a quick trip to Canada for the day. Looking at this scene reminds me of the movie Polar Express, one of my favorite holiday movies. It felt like an appropriate photo to share as we are quickly approaching Christmas.\nKenai Rocks\nWe saw this scene as we were leaving Kenai Fjords National Park in May as we were driving over a bridge. My wife asked if I had noticed the view and we decided to go back for a second look. Glad we did because the view was pretty nice and well worth capturing for future enjoyment.\nA lone bird flies across the waters off the coast of Alaska. This was the scene I saw as we were leaving Glacier Bay National Park. Definitely an adventure of a lifetime to see such a beautiful place in this world.\nHiking Alaska\nI posted the black and white version of this shot last month, but thought I'd share the color version today. If you are ever in Ketchikan, Alaska and would like to do a hike, I recommend checking out the Deer Mountain Trail. Nice hike through the beautiful Alaskan rainforest.\nOur last destination on our Alaskan cruise was College Fjord. From where College Fjord is, it appears it would be difficult to get to by any other means than a cruise. You'd really have to want to go here. Even on the rainy, cold day we visited the fjord it was quite stunning. This is a shot of Bryn Mawr glacier that I had to do quite a bit of editing to cut through the rain the area was receiving the day we were there. I'd love to see this place on a nice day. Even shrouded in clouds and rain it was amazingly beautiful. The only scary part was listening to the ship forge through the ice and hoping we wouldn't spring a leak.\nTurning Kenai\nLow tide on the Turnagain Arm looking south to the mountains in the Kenai Peninsula. This was taken just south of Anchorage, Alaska on what I consider one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on. The highway to Seward, Alaska was lined with alpine lakes and snow-capped mountains. The railroad plays an important part in moving people and goods in Alaska and I felt it was nice to capture it in this shot. Too bad there wasn't a train coming when I was staging the shot. I wish we had more time to stop along the way to capture it's beauty, but we were limited on time and trying to reach Kenai Fjords National Park before it closed. Hard to believe half of 2014 is behind us. Thinking about the great places I've seen in the first half and looking forward to more adventures this year.\nFor you train buffs, this is on the White Pass and Yukon Railroad in Alaska. This steel cantilever bridge was the tallest such bridge when it was built in 1901. A piece of architectural ingenuity that was unmatched at the time.\nJuneau Glacier\nA view of the Mendenhall Glacier from Auke Bay. I think this shot gives you a pretty good idea of how large the glacier is when compared to the mountains it's splitting.\nI took a lot of photos of whale spray and whale tails while we were out whale watching in Juneau, but those don't convey the story of whale watching nearly as well as adding some people into the picture. At some point I may post one of the whale spray shots I got, but in my opinion, this type of shot is much better and actually makes you wish you were there enjoying this experience with the others in the shot.\nThis was our last stop in Juneau, Alaska before our cruise ship departed. On the right is Nugget Falls, with the Mendenhall Glacier in the background. My wife and I raced to get to this spot from the tour bus to get this shot. We had about 45 minutes to do a 2 mile hike, find the right spot for the shot and return before the shuttle bus departed. I don't like rushing when I'm making photos, but in this case, I didn't have another option. I used a longer exposure so the waterfall would look like the big waterfall that it is. But this also resulted in movement of the people at the glacier. I actually think that movement looks pretty cool.\nIn the rainforest in Ketchikan, Alaska.

        "title": "Family wealth and venture capital: Entrepreneurs hope for more family-wealth venture investment - Sun Sentinel",
        "raw_content": "Family wealth a possible source of venture capital for local entrepreneurs\nCentral Florida entrepreneurs have often faced near-drought conditions in the land of venture capital, those high-risk, high-payoff investments that seem to rain down on places like Silicon Valley.\nBut while the Orlando area historically falls short in venture-capital rankings, there is one area where it appears to keep pace with most areas of the country: family wealth. And although such money has rarely found its way to entrepreneurs in the past, other than to family-owned enterprises, there are signs that such wealth is venturing farther afield, corporate-finance experts say.\n\"There are 40 family trusts that I manage, and a portion of that overall portfolio does invest in venture-capital deals,\" said Michael Okaty, an Orlando partner in the law firm Foley & Lardner. \"It is becoming a regular part of their investment strategy.\"\nFamily wealth has increased in venture-capital circles because such typically conservative investors have grown weary of being overly cautious with their money, having recovered from the market meltdown of 2008-09, Okaty said.\nMany are starting to get \"impatient with the negative returns they have been seeing,\" he said.\nThe challenge for Central Florida's entrepreneurs is finding a way to attract that family wealth as it becomes available \u2014no easy task, Okaty said.\n\"These families are investing nationally and globally,\" he said. \"Certainly, they might invest in local companies, but essentially they are looking for the best deals out there, not just those in a certain locality.\"\nPutting a figure on the amount of rich-family wealth in Central Florida is difficult, as is figuring out out how much of it may be invested as venture capital locally or elsewhere. Such investments are not included in the quarterly PricewaterhouseCoopers MoneyTree survey, the country's most extensive report on money placed by professional venture-capital firms.\nExperts generally agree on who holds most of the state's family wealth, spread among descendents of Florida citrus barons and real estate kingpins and generated by high-technology entrepreneurs such as the late Bill Schwartz of Orlando, widely considered the father of the region's laser/electro-optics sector.\nOverall, Florida had 362,285 millionaire households as of last year \u2014 the fourth-highest total after California (716,316), New York (381,197) and Texas (381,165), according to an annual study by Phoenix Marketing International, a New York-based wealth-research firm. The study did not break out figures by metropolitan areas.\nMetro Orlando had nearly 50,000 millionaire households in 2009, according to a study by San Diego-based Claritas, a research unit of the Nielsen Co. But a 2010 study by Capgemini North America Inc. concluded that Orlando lost 42 percent of its millionaires after the 2008-09 market meltdown.\nWhichever numbers you look at, it is apparent Central Florida still has tens of thousands of wealthy families, some of them very wealthy, said Richard Fox, a corporate-finance expert and partner in the Astralis Group, an Orlando-based business-advisory firm.\nThe rich use a variety of firms, organizations, financial institutions and planners to handle and invest their wealth, he said. A handful of ultra-wealthy local families have established what is known as a \"family office\" firm, set up exclusively to manage their investment portfolio as well as their personal affairs, including travel, entertainment and daily appointments.\nFamily-wealth managers, whether hired from outside or family-office professionals, generally set up family portfolios with a typically conservative mix of assets, including cash, bonds, stocks, real estate and privately held companies, according to Fox. Some also invest a certain portion of the portfolio in higher-risk, emerging companies, similar to venture-capital investments.\n\"This kind of investment is extremely important for a community like Orlando and its economy,\" Fox said. \"It can be lifeblood for new companies to develop and grow and create new jobs, in turn creating more wealth. If a community is weak in this area, its growth will be stifled and it won't have a key part of the infrastructure it needs to build the economy.\"\nSome experts doubt that private wealth controlled by intrinsically conservative, sometimes secretive families can ever become a factor in the venture-capital market. Most family-office operations, they say, are set up explicitly to pass wealth from one generation to the next.\nBill Grimm, a veteran Orlando corporate-finance lawyer and long-time partner at the GrayRobinson law firm, said few family-office firms have ever invested locally in emerging companies. Such \"angel\" investments by wealthy individuals usually come from somewhere else, he said.\n\"In my view of it, family offices are not in the business of making angel investments,\" said Grimm, a professor of entrepreneurship at Rollins College in Winter Park. \"They are in the business of vetoing angel investments. They focus on making sure that nothing dumb is done to lose the familly fortune.\"\nrburnett@tribune.com or 407-420-5256",

Our national holiday honors all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces and thanks them for their service and sacrifice. Are you wondering what the Crystal Coast has planned for this holiday weekend? We can help you with that.\nLocally, Morehead City holds its annual Veterans Day parade on Saturday, November 10 at 11a.m. It's a big event that draws crowds to line Arendell Street in participation and support of our veterans. We hope to see you there!\nOn Sunday, November 11, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores offers free admission to all (no past or present military affiliation required) in honor of Veterans Day. The aquarium is open from 9a.m. to 5p.m. and as always has a host of fun and free activities which include two touch pools, dive presentations, animal programs, and so much more.\nTake advantage of the free admission, but also take advantage of the two opportunities available to visitors to support and give back to the community. Collections for Martha's Mission Cupboard in Morehead City are being taken this day, so bring non-perishable food donations with you when you come. Staples such as cereal, peanut butter, powdered milk, canned fruit and vegetables, dried beans, rice, and crackers are in demand. This local food pantry helps families on the Crystal Coast during difficult times throughout the year. With the holiday season coming up, they are especially in need of donations during this time. Also, please be sure the items have not passed their expiration date. Collection boxes are available or you can just hand your donations to an aquarium staff member between 9a.m-5p.m.\nThe American Red Cross is on hand in Soundside Hall from 10a.m.-4p.m. so roll up your sleeve and give if you can. This precious commodity is in need of replenishing and any donations are greatly appreciated.\nPhoto Submitted by Sarah Pipetti\nNeither of the donations are required for the free admission to the aquarium, but we do hope you'll give if you're able. Thank you in advance for your support!\nIf you're visiting the coast this weekend, don't forget that there are some nice seasonal discounts on beach vacation rentals. Be here for the holiday weekend, and extend your stay for the week!\nWe thank all those who give on a daily basis and serve our country, past and present. Remember to take a moment and thank a veteran; not only on Veterans Day, but on any day that you have the opportunity.",

        "title": "Survey: 32 Construction Jobs in the U.S. Paid More in 2018 | SymbeoHealth",
        "raw_content": "Americans who want to find construction jobs with higher salaries should consider going through a recruitment agency, especially for 32 kinds of skilled work that had bigger paychecks in the previous year.\nA nationwide survey showed that the average annual salaries of these jobs amounted between $47,700 and $92,500. Jobs in the industry continue to be plenty, especially for certain sectors with a shortage of skilled labor. If you have the right qualifications and experience, you could even ask for an above-average compensation. Some employers are willing to pay a premium to hire the right candidates.\nThe Basis for the Survey\nThe National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) based its annual survey from over 130 companies in the commercial and industrial construction sectors. These companies employ more than 350,000 employees, and their salaries reflected the poll\u2019s results.\nFor instance, the 2018 annual salaries of project managers and project supervisors reached more than $92,500 and $88,300, respectively. Non-management positions were not far behind as combo welders, instrumentation technicians and pipe welders earned between $69,000 and $71,000. Power line workers earned around $68,000, while industrial electricians and millwrights\u2019 salaries ranged from roughly $67,000. Your actual salary may differ based on your credentials and employer. The survey excluded data from the respondents\u2019 bonuses, incentives, overtime, and other miscellaneous compensation.\nHow Salaries Have Increased\nData from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed that hourly wages for construction workers reached $30.18 on average in September, up by more than 3% year over year. This growth also represented the first time that hourly salaries cost more than $30. In terms of annual pay, the NCCER listed HVAC technicians with the highest increase in pay.\nThe job had a 20% increase in annual salary to almost $62,500 in 2018 from around $52,000 in 2015. Sheet metal workers ranked with an 18% increase in pay from nearly $49,200 to $58,160 during the same period. Even plumbers earned 15% more last year that reached around $59,630, as well as scaffold builders with a 12% salary increase to almost $53,000. However, not all jobs recorded a pay raise and these included tower crane operators, riggers and welders.\nA majority of employers in the survey said that filling vacant positions have been challenging, despite the increase in pay. BLS acknowledged a shortage of employees partly because of an aging workforce. Many are nearing their retirement age, while most of the younger generation are focused on finding work from other industries.\nSome companies are trying to fill the workforce gaps by partnering with academic institutions. Training programs for students serve as another solution, such as educating them to become scaffolding workers.\nSalary growth in the building sector may have been sluggish in recent years, but the recent poll indicated that industry compensation could finally reflect the current construction boom in the U.S. If you think that you are not being paid enough, maybe it is time to find construction jobs with more competitive remuneration packages this year.",

        "raw_content": "Microsoft CEO Nadella: here's how we're different from Apple and Google\nBy Sahil Mohan Gupta 2017-11-07T13:29:58.31Z Internet\n'You need to get a real computer, my friend.'\nMicrosoft CEO Satya Nadella is in the middle of a world tour to promote his new book Hit Refresh, in which he talks about how he's in the process of reinventing the computing giant.\nRight now he's visiting India, and from giving the keynote at the first edition of the India Today Next Conclave to sharing a stage with Indian cricketing legend Anil Kumble, Nadella has been eagerly spreading the word about a 'new Microsoft' which he describes as being empathetic, and an innovator that wants to help people do more. TechRadar had the chance to talk to him.\nAs he walked into the room along with Microsoft India head Anant Maheshwari, Nadella spots that I and a colleague have iPads and cheerfully says, \u201dYou need to get a real computer, my friend.\u201d\nIt may be a playful jibe, but it's also essence of what Nadella is doing with Microsoft. He's quietly confident about the technology his company is making and eager to champion it, but at the same time he stays humble and true to his own roots.\nAsked about remarks he made in 2014 regarding the gender pay gap \u2013 he said women should trust \"karma\" and \"the system\" to ensure they were fairly paid \u2013 Nadella admits his mistake and adds: \u201cIt was a huge learning experience for me because the answer I gave was utter nonsense.\u201d He also discussed changes he's introduced at Microsoft to address the issues of diversity and equal pay.\n\u201cOne of the things we have done [\u2026] we changed the compensation of me and my leadership team where we now have to make numeric progress. I feel there is more to be done. In fact, Melinda Gates joined Microsoft as a computer scientist, the number [of women in leadership roles] was at 35% and now it has dropped to 17% so there is a lot more to do to make computer science attractive,\u201d he said.\nReminded that he's scaled the commanding heights of Microsoft despite flunking entrance exams for the Indian Institutes of Technology and not attending an Ivy League university in the United States, Nadella emphasized how it was important to keep learning from mistakes.\n\u201cI look at it and say let's have perspective,\" he says. \"What matters more isn\u2019t what you did yesterday but what your posture of learning is tomorrow. That\u2019s where parents and institutional leaders can be elitist and we have to be about identifying kids and giving them the confidence to not be know-it-alls but be learn-it-alls.\n\"It is my personal philosophy flunking exams has definitely taught me as long as I\u2019m learning I\u2019m fine. Failure is part and parcel of life, the question is what are you going to do about it.\"\nMicrosoft is different from Apple and Google\nA bigger and more pressing issue for Nadella is that despite Microsoft\u2019s recent success in the cloud computing business, it's still viewed primarily as an enterprise company, rather than a maker of popular and trend-setting consumer electronics like Apple. Nadella uses a question on the subject to talk about how, in his view, Microsoft is a different company to the likes of Apple and Google, adopting a tone of zen-like focus.\n\"Whenever we have done things that come naturally to us we\u2019ve been successful,\" he says. \"Even if it's a consumer product it is a tool. I fell in love with Microsoft technology because of what it created.\n\"In a way, I don\u2019t want to take away from whatever success Apple or Google are having. We are very different companies. We are not some middleman in the marketplace. We are a tool creator, we are not a luxury good manufacturer. That\u2019s not who we are. We are about creating technologies so that others can build.\"\nNadella makes it clear that in order for Microsoft to win it's not necessary for Apple, Google or some other technology company to lose \u2013 it's not a zero-sum game. And he's also willing to make hard decisions in response to clear signals from the market.\n\"You take a look at what we did with Groove and Spotify. Look at the Harmon Kardon speaker. In some sense, it is a fantastic Cortana speaker but also for Spotify. The last time I checked there were a lot more Spotify people than Groove people. So let us bring the best of what Microsoft has to a Spotify user and create consumer fans. So that\u2019s the approach we want to take.\"\nThose comments display a hard-headedness similar to that Nadella showed in 2016 when he jettisoned Nokia\u2019s smartphone business, which was rapidly losing ground to Google\u2019s Android and Apple\u2019s iPhone.\nMicrosoft is a different kind of a consumer company\nNadella is quite comfortable with the fact that Microsoft doesn\u2019t make phones or mass-market consumer electronics. He feels it's a different type of a consumer-facing company, citing the example of the Surface line.\n\"Even with Surface, we created a premium product and premium brand and basically said 'you know what, every OEM should create a lower-priced model',\" he says. \"We want to democratize things. I want to us to be proud of what we can do.\"\nNadella is also excited about what Microsoft is doing with Windows Mixed Reality, the company's take on VR/AR, and gaming. \"What we are doing in gaming, that\u2019s a consumer for consumer franchise. We have doubled down on it in a big way, whether it is Xbox Live or Mixer, Game Pass, PC or console gaming,\" he says.",

In 2010 the number of employees dropped from 385,000 to 367,000.\nIn all, the reorganisation of the company will cost Panasonic around $2 billion.\nUncompromising efforts\nSome of the changes Panasonic is looking to implement are increasing the purchasing of LCD panels from third party vendors and taking more of its TV production overseas. It is also looking to make major changes to its semi-conductor business.\nWhile Panasonic will take a hit from the restructuring, its sales have increased by 17 per cent year-on-year and it is making an operating profit from its solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, LED lighting and air-conditioning sectors.\nPanasonic President Fumio Ohtsubo said about the cuts: \"This comes as a result of uncompromising efforts to turn every business unit into a shape that is globally competitive.\"",

The 28-year-old reportedly had no known health problems and there was no evidence of foul play, injuries or drugs according to a report from The Gainesville Sun.\nGreenberg was found in his bed by his girlfriend, Abby Mayer, after returning from a weekend away.\nHis mother, Lori Greenberg, told the publication that the medical examiner\u2019s autopsy found no explanation for a cause of death. She added that he was excited about some new projects he was planning to start soon. A toxicology report was apparently ordered although it could take up to three months to get the results back.\nGrooveshark was founded in early 2006 by Greenberg, Sam Tarantino and Andres Barreto and launched in beta a year later. The service gained a large following with an estimated 40 million monthly users during its prime. The business had around 145 employees spread out across Gainesville and New York City during that time.\nIt didn\u2019t take long for record labels to hone in and take legal action against the service. Staring a $736 million lawsuit in the face, its creators decided to close Grooveshark back in May. Mysteriously, the service reappeared for a brief time at an alternate URL but it was eventually taken down.\nIn November 2013, Grooveshark executive Eddy Vasquez was shot dead after getting into an argument with Andres Rodriguez Torres following a friend\u2019s wedding the night before.\nImage courtesy The Gainesville Sun",

        "raw_content": "Kindertransport: 'To my dying day, I will be grateful to this country'\nSeventy-five years after the first evacuation to Britain of Jewish children from Nazi Europe \u2013 known as the Kindertransport \u2013 we hear from some of those rescued who made a new life here\n'It was a response that other countries did not make.' Above: German-Jewish refugees arrive at Southampton in 1939 Photo: GETTY\nBy Lucy Ward\nThe candles were lit for the Jewish festival of Hanukkah as 10-year-old Ruth Heber and her seven-year-old brother Harry left their family\u2019s rented rooms in Vienna for the last time, almost 75 years ago. \u201cOur father blessed us and we went to the station,\u201d she remembers. \u201cIt was in the evening so the public would not know what was going on. My parents were not allowed on the platform. They said: 'Be a good girl and we will be writing and thinking of you and we will be coming very soon.\u2019\u201d\nRuth, whose small suitcase contained only clothes and her beloved drawing pencils, kissed her parents and grandmother, and went with her brother and other children to board a train whose doors were sealed shut before it departed for the Hook of Holland.\nLeaving Vienna\u2019s Westbahnhof on December 18 1938, with soldiers patrolling the corridors, it was only the second train of what was to become known as the Kindertransport \u2013 the evacuation of nearly 10,000 mainly Jewish children to Britain from Nazi-occupied Europe. In the months that followed, dozens more trains brought unaccompanied children, aged from three to 17, from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland until the eve of war in September 1939.\nSeventy-five years on, this remarkable episode in Britain\u2019s wartime history is being marked with what organisers say will be the \u201clast big commemoration\u201d. The \u201cKinder\u201d (German for children) who journeyed here are mostly in their eighties, often frail, and their numbers are, inevitably, now much diminished. But next month, this special anniversary will nevertheless bring over 400 together for a reunion, featuring tea in the House of Lords with the Labour peer Alf Dubs (himself a Kinder refugee from Prague) and a reception at St James\u2019s Palace hosted by Prince Charles.\n\u201cThere is always a bitter-sweet element to these events,\u201d says Michael Newman, director of the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR), the body organising the commemoration and which represents Kindertransport in Britain. \u201cIt comes from a tragic history but it is an opportunity to be together.\u201d\n'British Schindler' given Czech Republic's highest honour\nThe unsung British hero with his own Schindler\u2019s List\nHMS Belfast turns 75\nDambuster visitors flout ban on Nazi uniforms\nDiary of top Nazi Rosenberg recovered in US\nThe rescue operation finds its origins in one of the most brutal waymarks on the road to war. Kristallnacht (\u201cThe night of broken glass\u201d), on the night of November 9 1938, saw synagogues and Jewish businesses across Germany and parts of Austria systematically destroyed in a pogrom claiming the lives of at least 90 Jews, and marked a seismic shift in the Jewish community\u2019s perception of its future.\nAmid pressure from British Jewish groups and, importantly, from the Quakers, a Westminster debate on November 21 1938 led, amid some opposition, to a Bill allowing up to 10,000 refugee children to be temporarily admitted to Britain. A group of agencies, operating under the umbrella of the Movement for Care of Children from Germany, promised to find homes for the children, together with sponsorship so that there would be no burden on the public purse.\nWith permission granted, the rescue agencies acted fast. The call went out for host families, and links were made with contacts in Germany and Austria to arrange trains and draw up lists of children. In less than a fortnight, on December 1, the first Kindertransport left Vienna, each child carrying their small suitcase and identified by a manila label.\nFor Ruth Heber (now Jacobs), whose family had been forced to abandon their small draper\u2019s shop in Innsbruck and move to Vienna after Germany annexed Austria in March 1938, the journey was yet another event that left her \u201ccompletely and utterly bewildered\u201d, she told me. \u201cOur parents had put on a brave face and done their best to shield us. We just didn\u2019t know what had happened to our lives.\u201d\nCrossing the border from Germany into Holland \u2013 the German government had refused to let the trains use the country\u2019s own ports \u2013 Mrs Jacobs recalls \u201ca jubilant hurrah\u201d from the older children, aware that they had left persecution behind. Dutch women on the platform greeted the youngsters with smiles and passed milk and chocolate through the windows.\nErika Judge, born Erika Leiter in Vienna in 1925, also recalls the warmth of the Dutch welcome after her refugee train left Austria on May 14 1939. The 13-year-old had already witnessed the Anschluss \u2013 she and her schoolmates had been lined up to cheer the German army into Vienna, and had then slept on the floor of a rented room in the city\u2019s Jewish ghetto after a Nazi soldier threw her and her parents out of their comfortable apartment near the Stadtpark. With her father, a maker of fine furniture, in a forced labour camp, her mother put her on lists of child refugees to go to Palestine or Britain, telling her she would take whichever came up first.\n\u201cIt happened to be England,\u201d recalls Mrs Judge, a petite, fine-boned woman sitting in her north London home amid shelves of books and photographs of her husband, daughter and grandson. \u201cI had to queue up \u2013 first for a declaration that I didn\u2019t owe any tax, then 10 hours for a medical. I was puny \u2013 I weighed only five-and-a-half stone when I got to England \u2013 and the doctor looked down at me and said: 'We won\u2019t get you, but the English climate will.\u2019\u201d\nGerman passport in hand \u2013 the document had added the name Sara to her own, as it did for all Jewish girls \u2013 she took the train, her teacher mother among parents now forced by the Gestapo to smile and wave on the platform as they bade farewell to their children, many for the last time. \u201cNobody cried... nobody,\u201d she says.\nAt Aachen, soldiers searched their cases, but parents had learnt from stories of others who had unsuccessfully tried to smuggle out jewellery or other valuables. Erika\u2019s case contained only clothes intended to do for two years, her schoolbooks, and a note from her mother in English, asking that her bright daughter be allowed to study at a Gymnasium \u2013 a grammar school. A small sewing box had been lost already, knocked out of the window by a friend pointing enthusiastically at the Lorelei rock on the Rhine.\nRegistered in Harwich with other refugee children, Erika travelled to Liverpool Street station in London, and the next day journeyed on alone to Camborne in Cornwall, where she spent much of the war moving between host families.\nThe girl from Vienna was shocked at the outdoor lavatory and gas lamps in the first home (where she shared a bed and bathwater with the family and was fed fish and chips every day); was deeply unhappy staying after that with a Wesleyan mother and step-daughter who occasionally slapped her; but adored the elderly lady who hosted her while she trained in legal book-keeping.\nChildren arriving at Harwich without a pre-arranged billet were sent to holding accommodation, including at nearby Dovercourt holiday camp. In the snowy 1938-9 winter, the camp was freezing, but there was heating in a central hall where the children ate, amusements were laid on, and there were efforts at schooling.\n\u201cNone of us spoke a word of English,\u201d recalls Mrs Jacobs, 85, widowed almost four years ago after 60 years of happy marriage. \u201cThere was a blackboard in the hall with the words of the song Underneath the Spreading Chestnut Tree to help us learn.\u201d\nWhile the children waited for host families to arrive and select them, local people funded a trip for the refugees to the cinema. \u201cOn each seat there was a bar of chocolate,\u201d she adds. \u201cTo this day I think that was so wonderful.\u201d\nAfter a week, Ruth and her brother (the two refused to be separated) were taken by a well-off family in East Sussex, and were eventually reunited with their parents, who \u2013 like those of Erika Judge \u2013 managed to secure visas to travel to Britain as paid domestic staff. But the two Heber children nevertheless continued to move around host families and boarding schools, with Ruth\u2019s excellent English eventually winning her a scholarship to a girls\u2019 grammar school in Stroud.\nHer host family there, the Whites, were poor but loving, and she is still in touch with them. \u201cThey opened their home to me, they treasured me and built up my confidence. It was a perfect life with an English family.\u201d\nOthers arriving at Dovercourt were not so quickly chosen: 16-year-old Rolf Penzias, leaving with his younger brother Walter on the first transport from Munich on January 4 1939, remembers staying there at least six weeks because few wanted older boys. The young apprentice motor mechanic, whose training had been interrupted by the Nazis, moved first to a vicarage in the village of Frankby, on the Wirral, but after pleas from a local Jewish family that his religious education was being neglected, he moved to a boarding school for refugees in Liverpool.\nThere, and later in London, he worked and studied throughout the war, eventually qualifying as a mechanical engineer \u2013 his lifetime profession. \u201cWe had to do it the hard way, but the opportunities were there if you wanted them,\u201d says Mr Penzias, now 90. \u201cMost of us did quite well, some got to university. Very few fell by the wayside.\u201d\nThe Kinder, indeed, have made a significant impact on their adopted country and beyond: four are Nobel prize-winners, and others have contributed to industry, education, the arts and politics. Lord Dubs, a former Labour MP, left Prague at six on transport organised by the English stockbroker Nicholas Winton (who has just celebrated his 104th birthday).\nThe Kindertransport, says Michael Newman of the AJR, was an exceptional event. \u201cIt was uniquely British. It was a response that other countries did not make... It is in the public discourse of what Britain did and part of our Holocaust history.\u201d\nThis is not a simple story: it includes, Newman adds, the uncomfortable view that the Jewish community in Britain \u201cdid not do enough\u201d to support the incoming refugees, while the Quaker role has been too long unsung. Moreover, he says, there has been tension around the perception that, compared with Nazi camp survivors, Kinder refugees did not suffer.\nThe stories of the Kinder, however, are hardly the stuff of fairy tale: while Erika, Ruth and Rolf all saw their parents again, the majority of the young refugees did not. Mrs Judge lost family members at Auschwitz, the grandmother Mrs Jacobs left behind in Vienna died in the same camp, and Rolf returned to Munich after the war to find that few of his schoolfriends had survived. While they did not understand the dangers their parents had hidden from them, they knew the reality of separation from their family and all that was familiar to them.\nAll the Kinder express nothing but thankfulness for Britain\u2019s contribution. Holding her British identity card, with its picture of her 10-year-old self in a black velvet dress with a white satin collar, Ruth Jacobs says: \u201cI have the greatest admiration for England and the English people. They were the only country that took us in.\u201d Erika Judge is equally clear: \u201cTo my dying day, I will be grateful to this country.\u201d\nFor information about events to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Kindertransport, visit ajr.org.uk\nIn Britain at War\nArmistice Day in pictures",

        "raw_content": "Men need to open up about depression, not man up and keep quiet\nSuicide is now the leading cause of death in men under 50, but most men still won't admit when they have mental health problems, says Matt Haig\nThe US report has found that white men cope worst with stress Photo: Alamy\nLet\u2019s start with a cold hard statistic.\nSuicide is now the leading cause of death in men under the age of 50. Think about that for a while. It is not cancer or heart disease or a car accident that is most likely to kill young, or even middle-aged men, but suicide.\nThe Office for National Statistics also tell us that whereas in 1981, 63 per cent of suicides were male, now that figure is 78 per cent.\nAs last night's Panorama showed, there is something about being a man in 2015 that makes you far more likely to take your own life. This gets more startling when you bear in mind that far more women are diagnosed with depression.\nAs suicide is usually a symptom of depression, this suggests men are not getting the help they need. As suicide rates are very elastic, varying massively between eras and countries, it should be a source of massive concern that we are letting so many men needlessly die every year. We should, at the very least, be encouraging men to talk about their problems.\nBut are we doing that? I really don\u2019t think we are. Think of how men are expected to behave. Think of the increasingly dominant phrase \u2018man up\u2019, used any time a man moans about feeling ill or worried. The suggestions behind that phrase are terrible when you stop and look. It places the idea of masculinity at some high plateau, where we must be strong and stoic. (What is the opposite? \u2018Woman down\u2019?)\nMental health is hard enough to talk about sometimes, given the stigma that still surrounds the illness. There is still the wrong idea that depression is a character flaw, that it is always about something. But for men, it is doubly hard because we are not really encouraged, by ourselves mainly, to talk about being ill.\nEven if we have a cold we are belittled for having \u2018man-flu\u2019. You can\u2019t have any version of a cold or flu now without someone, somewhere, suggesting it is man-flu, the implication being that if you are male you should be belittled for being ill because then you can\u2019t leave the cave and hunt bears or something. Come on. It\u2019s the 21st century. We should have realised that human beings are all as approximately insecure as each other, and just as likely to fall ill.\nAnd yet, even writing this article, I am self-consciously wondering if I will be seen, because of my gender, as a bit wallowy. Shouldn\u2019t I be out chopping down trees or fighting for the King of Sparta or something, and not whining on about depression? Well, I will whine on. Because it is among the most serious healthcare crises in this country and we still have celebrities and public figures and Twitter hate-generators who will, for effect, doubt depression is even an illness. And we also have the wrong idea that sexism is a wholly good thing for men. It is not.\nWe need to realise that sexism is wrong not only because it limits women economically and socially but also because it limits men emotionally. It stops talk and kills people.\nWhen I became ill with depression 15 years ago, my social circle shrank very quickly. There were very few people \u2013 certainly no male friends \u2013 that I felt like I could talk openly to. I was lucky in that I was able to talk to my girlfriend and my parents, and this was a reason why I didn\u2019t take my own life like I desperately wanted to do. Some people don\u2019t even have that.\nSuicide rates (per 100,000) among men, by age group, 2001-2013. Source: ONS\nLimiting a man\u2019s emotional playing field can lead to men not actually recognising or wanting to recognise that what they have is an illness. And that the negative despairing worldview they have at the bottom of the valley is not a reflection of reality, but a symptom of an illness. So very often men find other, unhealthier ways of coping, such as through alcohol and drugs. (According to the ONS, for instance, 67 per cent of British people consume alcohol at \u2018hazardous\u2019 levels and 80 per cent who are dependent on it are male.)\nA bottle of whisky won\u2019t tell you to man up, even as it destroys your liver.\nWe need to change the way we think about not only mental health, but also men, because it is actually stopping men get the help they need.\nThe really horrible thing here is that depression is the one illness where talking about it really helps relieve symptoms. Depression is an illness of thoughts and if we toxify the air with ideas that men should just shut up about their illnesses, especially invisible ones, then men will end up not only being silent, but also beating themselves up more for being ill in the first place.\nSo, let\u2019s take men out of their narrow emotional box.

        "raw_content": "Soaring numbers flying abroad for medical care as NHS lists lengthen\nThe figures show the number of people flying out of the UK for medical treatment overseas has tripled Credit: Andy Rain\nThe number of patients leaving Britain and flying overseas for medical treatment has trebled as NHS waiting times reach a record high, a Telegraph investigation has revealed.\nGovernment data shows the number of people going abroad for healthcare has increased from 48,000 in 2014 to almost 144,000 last year as the health service struggles to cope with demand.\nExperts said lengthening waiting times for surgery - particularly hip, knee and cataract operations - and cutbacks to fertility treatment - were fuelling the rise.\nNHS waiting times are now the longest they have been for almost a decade, with more than 409,000 people waiting more than 18 weeks for treatment - a rise from 34,000 in 2014.\nPatient groups said the figures reflected badly on the NHS.\nJoyce Robins, from Patient Concern, said: \u201cIt is a desperately sad state of affairs that people who have paid into the NHS all their lives are finding it is not there for them when they need it.\n\u201cThese are essential operations, but thousands of people are being left in pain and misery - for every person who goes abroad there will be many more left suffering,\u201d she said.\nIt comes amid a crackdown on \u201chealth tourism\u201d within the UK. From Monday, hospital staff will be told to routinely ask patients for utility bills and bank statements in a bid to identify those from overseas who should be paying for NHS treatment.\nThe new figures from the Office for National Statistics show a 198 per cent per cent rise in trips abroad from the UK for medical reasons between 2014 and 2016.\nSuch treatments include dentistry and cosmetic surgery, which are offered more cheaply in many Eastern European countries. But health experts said the sharp rise reflected growing numbers of British patients going abroad for medical operations, amid lengthening waits and creeping rationing.\nOne medical travel website, Medigo, reported a 200 per cent rise in queries about orthopaedic treatment in one year, with rising numbers going to countries such as France and Switzerland for hip and knee operations.\nUgur Samut, it\u2019s chief executive officer, said: \u201cWhat we are finding is increasing numbers of patients from the UK wanting to avoid the waiting times on the NHS. We are especially finding that in orthopaedics, that is one of the biggest areas.\u201d\nOther countries seeing an influx include those which heavily market fertility services, with a ten-fold rise in patients flying from the UK to Spain.\nA seven-fold rise was seen in medical journeys to Greece, another major area for IVF, with a doubling in travel to Hungary, where dentistry, fertility services and cosmetic surgery are popular.\nCountries such as Switzerland and France, both popular for orthopaedic surgery, saw a six-fold rise and a 60 per cent rise respectively, between 2015 and 2016, the figures show.\nSome of the most popular destinations, such as Poland and Romania, might also be explained by increased migration to Britain, with some returning to their native country for medical procedures.\nThe ONS statistics show 143,996 flights from the UK for medical reasons in 2016, compared with 100,338 in 2015 and 48,190 in 2014.\nUnder EU reciprocal arrangments, British citizens are entitled to have treatment elsewhere in Europe, with costs covered by the health service, if it is treatment the NHS normally funds.\nMr Samut said around 60 per cent of those seeking treatment abroad were aware of such rights.\nProfessor Philip Schoettle, professor of orthopedic surgery at the Knee & Hip Institute Munich, said: \u201cWe are seeing a lot of patients from the UK. A lot of the time it is people working in finance, whose insurance is international and they don\u2019t want to spend all that time on a waiting list.\u201d\n\u201cGermany has very low treatment costs - they can come here and spend their time lying in a luxury suite, with an a la carte menu and physiotherapy twice a day - they are getting first-class treatment and also getting pampered,\u201d he said.\nScarlett McNally, from the Royal College of Surgeons said: \u201cWith over 400,000 NHS patients waiting longer than 18 weeks for planned treatment, and an increasing number of clinical commissioning groups restricting access to surgery for certain groups of patients, it is not surprising that some people will look elsewhere for healthcare.\n\u201cIt is hard to say whether current strains on the NHS explain the rise in patients travelling abroad for surgery. We are aware, however, that more patients are using private healthcare, at least in part because of longer waiting times.\u201d\nProf Adam Balen, chairman of the British Fertility Society, said he was \u201cextremely worried\u201d about the impact of rationing restrictions on couples trying to start a family. NHS access to fertility treatment is now the worst it has been since 2004, with just 12 per cent of areas providing three cycles of IVF.\n\u201cThere is no doubt that rising numbers are going abroad for fertility treatment - we have seen a steep decline in access to IVF,\u201d said Prof Balen.\nA Department of Health spokesman said: \u201cThe NHS has recently been independently judged the best healthcare system in the world and is providing safer care to more people than ever before \u2013 last year 11.6 million operations were carried out on the NHS, 1.9million more than in 2010.\n\u201cThere are many reasons why people seek treatment abroad, and the total number who did last year is less than 1 per cent of those who began treatment in the UK.\u201d\nHealth tourism | 10 NHS trusts with the biggest unpaid bills\nCountries which saw the largest numbers of UK visitors for medical treatment between 2015 and 2016\nSpain 1,112 to 10,741: 866%\nGreece 574 to 3,885: 577%\nSwitzerland 736 to 4,165: 466%\nPortugal 354 to 1,461: 312%\nIndia 1,132 to 3,867: 242%\nRomania 5,240 to 14,588: 178%\nBulgaria 1,016 to 2,760 -172%\nHungary 7,068 to 15,884: 125%\nLatvia 2,285 to 5,117: 124%\nFrance 3,992 to 6,389: 60%\nTotal departures from the UK for medical treatment\nSource: International Passenger Survey, Office for National Statistics",

        "raw_content": "Proven South Beach\nDiet Results\nYou can achieve stunningly quick South Beach Diet results. For those of you who are serious about quick weight loss, we believe you will be very pleased with the information listed below. We're not saying this diet is easy at all, but for those of you who've tried everything and failed, we believe this is the diet for you\nThe very name South Beach Diet conjures up images of well-to-do rich people on a yacht, sipping Martinis with their pinkie fingers extended. The truth is, the South Beach Diet is down to earth and extremely user friendly.\nThe South Beach Diet is simply named after the region it was created in, South Florida. Anyone can follow this diet, no matter where you are in the world. You just have to follow a few very basic guidelines.\nThe South Beach Diet is a carefully outlined, very simple diet. The South Beach Diet started when Dr. Agatston, M.D., was trying to help his patients achieve better heart health. In the aftermath, we've stumbled upon a media sensation.\nInstead of using statins for heart disease, Dr. Agatston developed a diet that dramatically lowers the risk for cardiovascular disease, and as a bonus promotes natural, safe weight loss.\nWho is Dr. Arthur Agatston?\nDr. Agatston is a mild mannered, compassionate cardiac specialist. He outlined his own personal diet plan for his heart patients, and it turned into a very successful weight loss program. This South Beach Diet Review is going to list point by point how and why this is one of the best diet plans on the market today.\nHow The South Beach Diet Compares to Atkins\nThe South Beach Diet is similar to Atkins, but South Beach is much easier. However, they have many similarities. Since the South Beach Diet is a bit easier to follow than Atkins, you're more likely to stay on it because you won't feel deprived.\nIn This 15-Minute Video Below, I Explain The Concepts of\nthe South Beach Diet in Detail\nIf you watched my weight loss video above, I explained how the fat in foods shut down hunger signals. The South Beach Diet explains why. Through the use of liberal healthy fats and whole foods, your brain gets signals of satisfaction, not hunger. Your South Beach Diet results come with the steady application of these easy-to-follow, straightforward principles.\nAchieving the Best South Beach Diet Results\nLet's go a little further and explain why this diet is so incredibly fast, easy, and permanent.\nWhen you're eliminating insulin producing foods like flour products, sugar, and other items, the body attacks its own fat stores for energy. This is a perfectly natural state. During this intensive phase, the diet works by lowering the hormone insulin. Insulin is a fat storage hormone.\nIf you're on a juice diet, you raise insulin and gain weight. The fructose in juice strongly encourages fat storage. It's not possible to lose weight in this fashion. So if you see diet aids that have fructose on the label, they actually encourage weight gain.\nThe South Beach Diet works first by lowering blood glucose, and thereby lowering insulin. Once insulin is permanently reduced, weight loss is effortless and can be permanently sustained. In the first two weeks alone, you can lose anywhere from 8-13 pounds. You know what I love about following The South Beach Diet? You don't go hungry, ever.\nThe South Beach Diet is a scientifically based diet, but there's not a whole lot of written science in Dr. Agatston's book. However, the book is based on scientific studies that they've published, and the book is written in an easy-to-read format.\nThe basic South Beach Diet guidelines are grounded in scientifically sound principles. Dr. Agatston's book is based on clinical South Beach Diet results and observations of actual patients.\nLet's explore some of the various stages of The South Beach Diet. These stages are called phases, and they describe each segment of the diet.\nSouth Beach Diet Phase One\nThe South Beach Diet Phase one is similar to Dr. Atkins' Induction phase. You won't be consuming pasta, bread, potatoes, sugar, juice, and many other foods. This is the strictest phase of the diet. The most awesome part of this phase of the diet is that any cravings or truly detrimental eating habits you may have acquired will disappear.\nThe first few days is the hardest, and it does take a while to get used to the beginning phase of The South Beach Diet. But in order to achieve the best results, these strict guidelines have to be followed.\nWhen we put friends and family members on South Beach Diet Phase one, their waistlines shrank very fast. They were easily losing one to two pounds per day.\nView Teri's South Beach Diet Before & After Photos!\nTeri's After Picture After A 50-Pound Drop in Weight\nSouth Beach Diet Phase Two\nAfter two weeks, you can begin adding very specific foods back into your diet. But be careful with this phase. It's a shock when you first go back to fruit. This is when it clicks in your mind how much sugar is in fruits, and their effect on your metabolism.\nWhen you don't get these foods for two weeks, it will shock you how fast the weight rolls off of your midsection. You are going to lose one to three pounds per week on Phase two. So basically, phase one is a shock phase, and in phase two, the weight loss slows down a bit.\nClick here for more information on the science of the South Beach diet.\nSouth Beach Diet Phase Three\nPhase 3 of the South Beach Diet is the lifelong maintenance phase. It's similar to Dr. Atkins' maintenance phase. You may discover that you've gained a few inches and your South Beach Diet results are reversing. It's very simple to return to phase one for a week or so, and the weight drops right back down. You have to be careful with this phase of the diet, because you can actually become too thin.\nOnce you get the hang of this diet, you're going to be in awe of the diet industry and their con games. Since you will understand the principles of this diet, you will have lifelong, permanent control over your weight, and you'll chuckle at all of the weight loss commercials.\nHow The HCG Diet Compares to South Beach Diet Results\nThis is how some diet companies trick you. Diet companies, like The HCG Diet, put you on a low glycemic starvation diet, and then give you hormones. Then they inform their participants that it's the hormone that's doing the work.\nIt's not the HCG hormone that's causing the weight loss, it's the nature of the diet itself. You would still lose a ton of weight on the HCG diet, even without the hormone. You cannot sustain weight loss over time with the HCG diet.\nThe South Beach Diet lays everything out in very simple terms. It works and it's safe. And there are no dangerous side effects that some people have experienced on the HCG diet, like hair loss and fainting spells.\nRemember This: Your body's wisdom will find its own weight. Your weight corrects itself. You need no outside hormonal intervention. Your body makes everything it needs.\nClick here to learn more about the South Beach Diet. WebMD discusses how important it is to choose the right carbs for this diet.\nWe have recipes to help you sustain weight loss. Just think, you can have a smorgasbord of truly delicious foods and keep your weight down for life. To back up your new regimen, all of the recipes on The Healthy Diet Paradise are within the Phase one, two and three guidelines of the South Beach Diet. You do have to check the ingredients within the recipes for whichever phase you're on.",

        "raw_content": "A lot of people don\u2019t like resolutions because they don\u2019t stick with them. But if you make your resolutions together as a couple, you have a greater chance of making them last.\nIt\u2019s that time of year already. The turkey and dressing of Thanksgiving and Christmas is already a thing of the past. That means it\u2019s time to get started on those New Year\u2019s resolutions. Many people don\u2019t even like the word \u201cresolution\u201d because it is typically something we pinky promise to do in January and give up on by February or March. But when you think about it, resolutions are just goals, hopes, and aspirations. And that\u2019s something we should all always have. Making a resolution just means you\u2019re determined to do something. And there\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But the reason most people don\u2019t turn their resolutions into permanent changes is because they don\u2019t have a strong support system to help them stay motivated throughout the year. But if you make your resolutions together as a couple, you have a greater chance of making them last.\nMake your own goals first. It is important for you to be reflective by yourself first and examine where you would like to see yourself next year. In order to be a better partner, you have to be the best version of yourself possible. Work on self improvement and your relationship will benefit. When setting your goals, be sure to cover all the bases \u2013 financial, spiritual, physical, professional, etc. \u2013 and be sure to be specific. Having vague goals makes it difficult for you to follow up with yourself and assess whether or not you\u2019ve completed it. \u201cWork out more\u201d is okay, but \u201cwork out three to five times a week\u201d is much better. When you are specific, you can keep track of your progress and really hold yourself accountable.\nShare with your significant other. Once you\u2019ve set your personal goals for the new year, it is important to share them with your sweet-honey-love-muffin so that they can make sure your goals are both challenging and attainable. They should know you well enough by now to know whether or not you are being realistic with what you can accomplish. You may want to keep your goals private in case you don\u2019t actually reach them, but you should trust your partner with this information. If you reach your goal, they\u2019ll be your biggest cheerleader. And if you don\u2019t, they\u2019ll still love and support you!\nHold each other accountable. Once you have your s/o\u2019s goals, it is then your responsibility to hold them accountable and be supportive with them in this journey. There\u2019s nothing wrong with motivating or even pushing your partner towards the greatness they desire. Just don\u2019t push too hard. Don\u2019t nag and annoy them. They won\u2019t want to share with you in the future if you do it in a mean or rude way. But it is more than okay to be the spiritual and emotional support they need in order to reach their goals.\nMake relationship goals. Think about goals you can set to improve your relationship in this new year. More date nights? Better communication? Whatever it is you feel your relationship is lacking or could use some improvement in, focus on that and work towards that goal. Relationships require work. You should be constantly changing, improving, and evolving as individuals and the same is true for the relationship.\nWhat do you think? Is it a good idea to set goals/resolutions as a couple?\nRelated Topics:featured, goals, New Year, New Year's Resolutions, relationship goals, resolutions",

        "raw_content": "Woman In Ireland Dies After Being Denied an Abortion During a Miscarriage\nWomen's rights and health activists are outraged after reports that a pregnant woman in Ireland died after she was denied an abortion that might have saved her life.\nWomen's rights and health activists are outraged after reports that a pregnant woman in Ireland died after she was denied an abortion that might have saved her life. Savita Halappanavar was 17 weeks pregnant when she showed up at a hospital in Galway last month, complaining of back pain. Doctors quickly determined that she was having a miscarriage and chose to let it run its course. After spending a full day in \"severe pain\" and understanding that the baby could not be saved, Halappanavar asked for the pregnancy to be terminated. The hospital refused, reportedly telling the couple that \"this is a Catholic country\" and there was nothing it could do as long a heartbeat could be detected.\nIt was another two and half days before the heartbeat stopped and the fetus was removed, but by then the damage had been done. Halappanavar had developed septicemia and E. coli infections. She spent another four days in intensive care and died a week after entering the hospital.\nAbortion is completely illegal in Ireland, but can technically be allowed if \"there is a real and substantial risk to the life (as distinct from the health) of the mother.\" In other words, it's not enough for the mother to be in pain or at risk of complications. They have to reasonably believe that she will die without it. Now an investigation is underway as to whether the hospital acted properly and Halappanavar's family is considering legal action. She and her husband are Hindus from India, but both lived and worked in Ireland.\nThere are also already calls being made for the Republic of Ireland to back off what is are some of the strictest anti-abortion rules in the world. Just days before Halappanavar's ordeal, the first legitimate women's health clinic to offer abortions opened across the border in Northern Ireland, which operates under different laws, but faces an equally strident pro-life opposition. (Abortion has been legal in the UK since the 1960s, but Northern Ireland has never enacted the law that allows it.) The tough rules lead as many 4,000 women to leave the country in search of abortions each year.\nOne writer called the treatment of Halappanavar \"cruelty disguised as piety, cowardice misrepresented as principle,\" saying that even if she hadn't died, the pain alone should have justified the procedure. Arguments over just these kinds of abortion exemptions\u2014and the often foolish comments made by some conservatives\u2014were part of a major debate the helped swing several key election in the U.S. this year.",

And it looks a hell of a lot like Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.\nAside from the obvious similarity of the steeply spiking graph demonstrating an unsustainable trend, Ryan's video gives us a sort of ultimatum. A computer program he said was used to graph the current level of government debt if current trends continue. It crashed in 2037, he said, \"because it can't conceive of any way the U.S. Economy could continue, because of this massive burden of debt.\" That sounds a lot like Al Gore's prediction that melting ice caps will cause sea levels to rise, submerging cities worldwide. The difference is, Gore makes the connections that demonstrate why he thinks this will happen. Presumably, Ryan will too, when he provides details on his budget today.\nIn the video, Ryan suggests that all the problematic government spending comes from health and retirement costs, and in fact, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Ryan's budget would eliminate $2.2 billion from health care. But as Politico points out, a recent government audit of the Pentagon found $70 billion in waste over the last two years. Ryan's budget doesn't call for any sweeping defense spending, indicating there may be a few inconvenient truths the congressman has yet to face.",

        "title": "How to Remove a Name From a Mortgage (When Allowed)",
        "raw_content": "Tips for Getting a Name Off the Mortgage\nOptions for Changing Borrowers\n\u2022\u2022\u2022 Steve Lewis Stock / Getty Images\nApplying for a mortgage jointly means it\u2019s easier to qualify. But things change, and one of the borrowers may leave the house or need to get free of the debt for other reasons. So, how easy it to remove a name from a mortgage, and what are the options for doing so?\nIt\u2019s possible to get somebody\u2019s name off of a mortgage, but the process is typically challenging. This applies to any primary borrower as well as co-signers who helped a borrower get approved. Until you make official changes to the mortgage (or pay it off entirely), everybody will be responsible for the loan, and that debt will reduce their ability to get other loans.\nLenders are not eager to take anybody\u2019s name off of a home loan. When they approved the loan, they looked at the credit scores and income of both borrowers together.\nEspecially when it comes to home loans, more than one income is often required to reach a satisfactory debt to income ratio (in other words, many individuals have a hard time qualifying for a mortgage on a family-sized house on their own).\nAll borrowers are 100% responsible for the debt \u2014 it\u2019s not 50/50 on a joint loan. If one borrower is unable to pay for any reason (whether it\u2019s financial hardship or one of the borrowers dies), the other borrower needs to keep payments current or pay off the loan. If lenders simply remove a name, they increase their risk and they give somebody a free \u201cout,\u201d which banks are reluctant to do.\nUnfortunately for co-borrowers, lenders see each applicant as an individual opportunity to collect on the loan.\nYou might think that it\u2019s \u201cour\u201d loan (and in cases of divorce, for example, there is no more \u201cus\u201d), but your loan agreement is not structured that way. Even if a divorce agreement specifies that your ex is responsible for the debt, lenders have the ability to collect from everybody who applied.\nEx-spouses may face legal consequences for failing to follow court orders, but you can\u2019t change an existing loan agreement.\nHow to Get a Name Removed\nThere are several ways to get a name removed from a loan.\nPlan on a process that takes some time and involves significant paperwork, but ideally, you\u2019ll be able to put the loan behind you.\nAsk Your Lender\nStart by asking your current lender about changing the loan. You won\u2019t get it all done in one phone call, but you can find out if it\u2019s possible to keep the existing loan with one less borrower. If so, any remaining borrowers (whose names are not removed) will need to re-qualify for the loan on their own. Those borrowers need good credit and enough income to comfortably make the payments, and they\u2019ll need to go through an application process similar to when you originally got the loan.\nIf your request is approved, the lender may provide a release of liability (often used in cases of divorce).\nIf your current lender won\u2019t work with you, try refinancing the loan. To do so, you\u2019ll apply for a new loan and use that debt to pay off the old debt. The person responsible for the loan should apply individually and will need to qualify with sufficient income and credit. Other lenders might be more willing to approve the loan, and you can look at programs like FHA loans (which may have easier approval standards when it comes to the size of your down payment and credit scores).\nIf You\u2019re Underwater\nRefinancing is especially difficult when your home is worth less than you owe, or if you have minimal equity in the home. Conventional lenders have strict requirements for loan to value ratios, and you won\u2019t meet those unless you write a big check. Fortunately, several government refinancing programs exist that might help you get a new loan \u2013 just make sure you can get the loan refinanced under the borrower you want before you do all of the paperwork.\nIt may be possible to transfer the mortgage to a different borrower. Assumable mortgages offer this feature, but most loans are not assumable. If you\u2019ve borrowed through the FHA or VA, you may have this ability \u2014 but it\u2019s worth asking, no matter where you borrowed.\nIf none of the approaches above works for you, you might need to sell the property and use the sales proceeds to pay off the loan. This can obviously cause a disruption for you or your family, and it might be difficult to sell if you\u2019re underwater, so think carefully and get help from local real estate professionals before you make a decision.\nAll of the options above involve fees, so evaluate several alternatives before choosing, and decide who will pay fees. Even if you\u2019re selling a property and receiving money, real estate agent fees and other costs are likely to reduce your take. Among the options listed, a release of liability or a loan assumption are probably the most affordable \u2014 they\u2019ll help you avoid the closing costs associated with refinancing.\nSame Story for Co-Signers\nAll of the above is true for co-signers on a mortgage. As a co-signer, you\u2019re 100% responsible for the loan, and lenders don\u2019t want to let you off the hook. Talk to the primary borrower about refinancing, and remember that their future is tied to yours.\nWith some loans (student loans, in particular), it is easier to get a co-signer off the loan after a period of on-time payments. However, home loans do not offer the same features.\nA quitclaim deed will not remove a borrower\u2019s name from a mortgage. With a quit claim deed, an owner can transfer all ownership rights to somebody else, but any loan agreements remain unchanged (giving up ownership does not mean you give up the responsibility to pay). As a result, a quit claim deed can leave a borrower worse off \u2014 they owe money on a property, but they no longer have any ownership interest in it.\nThe information on this page is basic in nature and cannot be considered legal or financial advice.

        "raw_content": "B.C. byelection in NDP territory tests strength of minority government\nNANAIMO, B.C. \u2014 British Columbia's minority New Democrat government faces a crucial popularity test this month in a byelection in one of its traditionally safe constituencies where the outcome could threaten Premier John Horgan's one-seat hold on power.\nVoters in Nanaimo, who have elected New Democrats in 13 of the last 15 provincial elections, are heading to the polls Jan. 30 to replace Leonard Krog, the five-term NDP member of the legislature who resigned his seat last year after being elected mayor of the Vancouver Island city.\nKrog's vacancy at the legislature makes the tight seat count even more tenuous for the New Democrats, who formed government in 2017 by reaching a partnership agreement with the three members of the Green party.\nSix candidates are in the race: former federal New Democrat MP Sheila Malcolmson, the Green's Michele Ney, Liberal Tony Harris, Conservative Justin Greenwood, the Vancouver Island Party's Robin Richardson and Libertarian Bill Walker.\nThere are 40 New Democrats, three Greens, 42 Liberals, one Independent and one vacancy in the 87 seat legislature.\nAn NDP win would preserve the minority government's status.\nProf. Mark Blackell, who teaches Liberal Studies at Nanaimo's Vancouver Island University, said the city is known as an NDP stronghold, but the name recognition of the Liberal, Harris, and the Green's Ney will challenge Malcolmson and the NDP.\n\"Nanaimo has undergone gradual changes in the past several decades due to a changing economy, one that has become more service-oriented, and due to people moving here, often to retire and, more recently, younger people from the Lower Mainland to find more reasonable housing,\" he said.\n\"While many who have settled, especially from Alberta, bring more conservative or B.C. Liberal Party allegiances, there has also been a growth in Green party support, largely in the younger population.\"\nHarris, the Liberal candidate, said every candidate is aware of the high stakes in the byelection, but it's also an opportunity for the often neglected city to garner well-deserved attention.\nHarris said Nanaimo has been left out of the political picture for too long.\n\"We certainly need to have a more comprehensive vision to allow whatever party is in power to figure out how to advance the interests of Nanaimo,\" he said.\nHe acknowledged the riding did not receive enough attention from the former Liberal government, but said the NDP also didn't pay enough attention to Nanaimo, keeping Krog out of Horgan's cabinet.\n\"That's just sort of the metaphor for the attitude towards Nanaimo,\" he said. \"We can be overlooked. We can be taken for granted and we'll just continue marching on.\"\nBut Harris, a sixth-generation resident, said he represents the resilient spirit of the city and he wants to bring bold change to Nanaimo.\nGreen candidate Michele Ney said her roots in Nanaimo are as deep as Harris's and her vision also looks to the city's potential.\nShe is one of former Nanaimo mayor Frank Ney's 11 children.\nFrank Ney served as Nanaimo's mayor for 21 years. He was also elected to the B.C. legislature for one term.\nA bronze statue of Frank Ney stands in downtown Nanaimo and the flamboyant businessman was known for bringing thousands of tourists to the city with its famed bathtub races.\n\"Apples don't fall far from the tree,\" said Michele Ney. \"I have a vision for Nanaimo. I have this vision where we're going to be a leader in a clean economy.\"\nNey said she can't escape her father's legacy and much of her time door knocking during the campaign is spent reminiscing about her father.\n\"He was always talking to people no matter who they were,\" she said. \"If there was such a thing as Green in his lifetime or if he was still alive today, he would be voting Green.\"\nThe NDP's Malcolmson said her team is deeply aware of what's at stake for the government, but she's focused on the riding.\n\"Talking with people on the doorstep is where I get my best advice and my best read on the actions of John Horgan's government so far,\" she said. \"It's the real deal what you hear on the door steps.\"\nMalcolmson, who resigned her federal seat as Nanaimo's MP to run provincially, said she's hearing from people with concerns about health care, child care and education.\n\"On the doorstep, I'd say it's also the sense of urgency of how the Liberals let housing prices get so out of control. How they let the homelessness crisis spiral in Nanaimo,\" said Malcolmson who lives on nearby Gabriola Island.\nRichardson, an economist and a former Conservative MP from Ontario when Joe Clark was prime minister, said he wants Vancouver Island to become Canada's 11th province.\n\"We would be 100 times better off as a province than a region,\" said the candidate running for the Vancouver Island Party.\nHe also said if he wins the byelection he would hold the balance of power in the legislature.\nWalker, the Libertarian, said he's campaigning for individual rights and freedoms and \"freedom from government oppression.\"\nThe Conservative candidate could not be reached for comment.",

First and foremost came his calls for bipartisanship in America. At a time where the people of this country are so divided, both in Congress and in the civilian world, urging Americans to come together was more than appropriate. Far too often, people revert to the mentality of viewing anyone who disagrees with them as the enemy. That\u2019s not good for progress and it\u2019s definitely not good for America.\nPresident Trump also touched upon foreign policy, immigration, criminal justice reform, the economy, and more. Since his time in office, Trump has made great strides in each of these areas. He noted progress with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the ongoing fight for the border wall, the bipartisan support for prison reform, increases in American jobs/wages, and more.\nAll in all, the president\u2019s State of the Union was uplifting, unifying, and inspirational.\nResponses to the State of the Union Address\nAmericans who are supportive of the president overwhelmingly loved the address. Democrats, by contrast, along with other critics of Trump, pulled sour faces and refused to clap on multiple occasions. The State of the Union address came exactly 10 days before the expiration of the legislation which is currently keeping government open.\nWhat did you think about the State of the Union address?

        "raw_content": "The Children get Stuck with the work\nOn behalf of The Dayton Law Firm, P.C. posted in Blog Posts on Friday, April 2, 2010.\nI wanted to share a story with you that a good friend of mine and associate, Dennis Brislawn of Brislawn Lofton LLC, recently shared with me about one of his clients. It was very applicable to what I see all the time.\n\"I had the incredible opportunity to attend my aunt's birthday party and take this photo. It was indeed a happy occasion for all - especially when she invited everyone back for her 100th birthday party in 2011.\nWhile enjoying the celebration and festivities, I was reminded of the sobering thought of all the financial and legal plans that her only daughter has been saddled with as her mother aged. As the children of aging parents, we never know if we will be buying a celebration balloon like this for their 99th birthday - and it is usually the least of our challenges as the years creep forward for a centenarian parent.\nWhile attending her birthday party, my mind drifted to the many issues her only child has had to deal with for nearly 25 years. Getting to this 99th birthday has been a lot more work and worry for the daughter than for the birthday mother. The daughter has had to manage finances, coordinate moves, work with doctors, screen assisted living homes, and of course, work with the attorneys.\nI was personally relieved, knowing I could attend the celebration, wish my aunt a \"Happy Birthday\", and return home. My cousin, on the other hand, would be at the party to the very end. She would be cleaning up the leftover cake, policing the party room at the assisted living facility, etc. And she still has to deal with all the fiduciary responsibilities that continue long after the party has ended.\"\nPeople deal with these types of real issues every day - most of which are neither easy nor pleasant. Working with attorneys and other professionals should be the least of their worries. After all, they have to start planning for the next big birthday party for their mom!",

        "raw_content": "Today is launch day for our Louise. I feel emotional, not just because I\u2019ve known Louise longer than any of the other Debs or because, as a local, I will be able to celebrate in person with Louise tonight (which I will, with great joy!), but because Louise is the last to launch during our season as Debs. While we still eagerly await the launch of Abby\u2019s book come January, the ball for us is ending, and in less than four weeks, we will pass on our tiaras to a new Deb Ball class. We will be moving on to new adventures. And Louise starts that adventure today, as she makes a big transition, a huge reinvention: she is no longer an \u201caspiring novelist\u201d but is now a \u201cpublished novelist.\u201d This is all the more apropos, as THE CITY\u2019 BAKERS GUIDE TO COUNTRY LIVING is a novel about reinvention.\nLivvy Rawlings is a pastry chef who accidentally sets fire to the club where she bakes. In an attempt to escape, she moves to Guthrie, Vermont, where she takes a job at an inn. Even here, though, she discovers that life can still not live up to expectations and whether to stay or go is a difficult decision she must make. Livvy isn\u2019t the only one in the novel trying to move both literally and figuratively past hurt and mistakes (I won\u2019t say more for fear of divulging spoilers), and it\u2019s a poignant story about creating the life you want. One of my favorite things about Livvy is her literal identity changes; with each new triumph or despair, out comes the hair dye and a fantastical new shade for her locks.\nLivvy is the kind of character we can all relate to. I can\u2019t speak for others, but so many times I\u2019ve longed to run away from my life, when a relationship goes bad, when a job turns sour. On one or two occasions, I have done just that, escaping abroad for a few months or relocating across the country. But Livvy does it with such humor and grace and with a sometimes snarky (but always funny) attitude. She has so many layers, as a chef, as a woman, as a banjo player (and while all the reviewers seem to focus on the pastry chef aspect, I learned much about bluegrass music from the novel!). Livvy is someone you\u2019d love to befriend in real life.\nLuckily, I have the next best thing: I\u2019ve befriended the author who created Livvy.\nCongratulations, Louise Miller, on an amazing book. Everyone, go out and read THE CITY BAKER\u2019S GUIDE TO COUNTRY LIVING. I know you\u2019ll love it as much as I do.\nPosted in 2016 Debs, Jennifer S. Brown, Louise Miller, Modern Girls, The City Baker\u2019s Guide to Country Living Tagged book launch, debut author, Debut Novel, first book launch\n\u2190 After the Acknowledgments\nThe City Baker\u2019s Guide to Putting On Your Big Girl Pants \u2192\nCongratulations on the launch, Louise!\nJudy Kessler says:\nLooking forward to seeing you and your book at tonight\u2019s reading!

        "raw_content": "Davis won't divide us\nThe ex-shadow home secretary's principled stand will endear him to voters, but project Cameron is strong enough to survive\nDavid Cameron could have kept David Davis's job open for him. He could have appointed an acting shadow home secretary until Davis returned to parliament, as he inevitably will. The fact that Cameron appointed a permanent successor suggests that Davis may be away from frontline politics for quite a while. Cameron has made it clear today that he expects his frontbenchers to play as a team \u2013 an implicit criticism of Davis's maverick behaviour.\nBut voters like mavericks. If Davis has thrown away his political career \u2013 perhaps not expecting Cameron's reaction \u2013 he has bonded with millions of voters. The common (and unfair) perception of politicians is that they are all in it for themselves, for the glory and the perks. Davis has shown that that isn't a fair picture. His concern about the emergence of a surveillance society is genuine. He was appalled at Gordon Brown's promises of subsidy and favours to win Wednesday's vote on 42 days. Voters admire a politician who is willing to sacrifice his career in order to champion a cause that is dear to their heart.\nAs it happens I disagree with Davis on CCTV and 42 days. I'm more worried about crime, terrorism and identity theft than the surveillance society. I'm more worried about CCTV cameras that aren't properly maintained and don't work properly than there being too many of them. But I still admire what he's done in the same way that I admire other politicians like Tony Benn, Frank Field and Ann Widdecombe, who always tell it as they see it.\nDiscussion in the Westminster village is already turning to what yesterday's events mean for Davis and for project Cameron.\nIf Iain Duncan Smith is the Conservative party's great champion of social justice, Davis is set to be the party's leading voice for Britain's historic liberties. The interesting question is whether that role will be enough for him. From the backbenches he may want to be the champion for the more muscular kind of conservatism that he espoused during his unsuccessful 2005 leadership bid. He would prefer the party to be more radical on the NHS and tax, for example. If he becomes a voice for boldness on those two fronts he will endear himself even more to many grassroots Conservatives.\nNone of this should worry Cameron. The party is strong enough to enjoy a debate within its ranks. One of the many weaknesses of New Labour was its intolerance of alternative views. The failure to debate in the early Blair years meant that many of Labour's policies were inadequately scrutinised. The Conservative party shouldn't fear internal debate.\nSome commentators are writing that Davis's resignation presents Labour with an opportunity to get back into the political game. That's nonsense. There is no great division in the Conservative party. Cameron's choice of successor for Davis, Dominic Grieve, takes exactly the same view on 42 days. Cameron's leadership is as safe as the crown jewels. Voters aren't going to forget Labour's failures on crime, tax and the cost of living very easily. The Conservatives have a lot of work to do before they can be sure of returning to government, but the heroic stand of Davis will only add to the sense that the centre right of British politics is now where all the action is.\nHaltemprice and Howden byelection",

I have a sneaky feeling that animal blog posts/photos have crept into your unconscious. Seriously, though, the photo speaks worlds about the blessings of friends we cannot live without and the ways in which we need to free ourselves from the things/people who, intentionally or not, hurt us. Funny you should write this just when I\u2019m thinking of someone who I know loves me and still manages to not pay attention to my offerings. Yes, it hurts, but I do the best to remind myself it\u2019s about her, not me.\nI can feel your pain over your \u201cfriend.\u201d I\u2019m glad you can let, or begin to let her go\u2013realizing that your time, energy, and special sort of giving (you give so thoroughly to those you stand beside) are valuable and worth being appreciated. I know that you give freely\u2026without the expectation of a tit-for-tat response\u2013but to be ignored or taken for granted is another issue entirely. I applaud you, as I so often find myself doing.\nBritton- love this blog and the photo. I think you are so right about us getting weighed down by what people think or expect of us. As i can attest, it is not always the easiet path to take when you say \u201cno\u201d but in the long run is is wonedrful. I have had to give up negative people because I know they can drag me down. You are one of the ones that make me feel light and welcomed.\nPositive people only need apply\u2014and when I am negative, I try hard to recognize and change it. There is so much to be grateful for\u2013and so much more to create (which takes LOTS of positive energy)!\nSuch an apropos post, Britton! As women we are susceptible to guilt when we set boundaries\u2026 old tapes say, I\u2019m being unkind. I should have been more forgiving and accepting, and so on. I\u2019ve really struggled with this issue\u2013 what is acceptable to me and what is not, and what is appropriate conduct on my part and what is not\u2026 it\u2019s hard for those with skewed radar for who is safe and who isn\u2019t. Let me count the ways in which I\u2019ve trusted precisely the wrong people. I was thinking this morning about a woman I was close to for years, who dropped our friendship. It sends the message that I\u2019m defective and not worth being close to\u2013 very hurtful. But it is about her superficiality and her need to see herself as superior and me as toxic. Sensitive people are well-acquainted with rejection, I think\u2013 even more so than one would consider \u201cnormal.\u201d xj\nI have a VERY difficult time imagining you as toxic\u2013you give so much, so honestly. I\u2019m grateful we have found cyber-friendship, and also grateful for your visit and comment here. Regarding your former friend\u2013she lost out in the deal, but it was her truth. You got hurt, but ultimately won, since you created space for yourself, and/or for a healthy friendship in its place. A friend who wants to feel superior to you is not a true blue\u2014true friends always encourage us to be the best we can be, no ego involved.\nI recently had to let a few people go from my life. While it makes me a little sad because I still love them, they were not good for me. Life is short. That became startlingly clear to me last year. You have to make decisions that ensure your happiness and the happiness of your family, and if that sometimes means letting a few people go, then that\u2019s what it means. I don\u2019t feel guilty at all.\nI understand the loving and letting go. I have a friend who needed to do that with me\u2013but we still connect every few years, and that seems to work best for her, and I\u2019ve accepted it as well. Truth\u2026I always respect it, even if I don\u2019t like it. I\u2019m glad you do not feel guilty about your choices to let go\u2013so much easier to trust our instincts and move along whenever possible.\nThank you Britton. I will surely re-post!\nExcellent\u2013thank you!\nBecky Wergers says:\nNice piece Britton. I am living these questions and choices right now\u2026 major changes not welcomed or appreciated by several vocal family members and tolerated by a few. Awareness changes everything. Sometimes our own expectations and dreams lead us into traps. But as you learn and grow, you reveal your truth, and things can never be the same. You have a new truth.\nI am living my truth, following my heart, and setting my intention for love and peace, and I am happy. There is a price to pay whether or not you choose to listen to spirit, your inner voice, or your heart. We always have a choice.\nI am so proud of you. I remember you as a person who marched to her own amazing beat. If you lost that along the way (as we so often do), I\u2019m very happy you have found yourself again. I would love to hear more about your journey.\nI love the picture. As for changes, well, sometimes it is better to escape and find a place that\u2019s just right for you. I come from a dysfunctional family, and if I had stayed in my village in france I think that I would have become extremely unhappy. Just a thought.\nYes, I have family members that did that years ago, and are much happier because of doing so! Saved a marriage or two, I\u2019m sure\u2026\nI tend to really give people the benefit of the doubt, and give them second, even third chances. But I have dropped a few friends, who either suck the life out of me without giving anything back, or who seem to want to wound to make themselves feel better. Yes, life is too short for holding onto awful relationships.\nI\u2019m not sure you would see my reply to your wonderful comment, so I came to visit you here and I\u2019m so glad I did. That was a brilliant poem, made me laugh and feel good. As for relationships . . . as my ex-husband told me when we divorced, you give everyone way too much credit, especially me. Sounds noble, but the issue was my lack of boundaries. I learned a very painful and valuable lesson from him.\nI\u2019m glad you liked it\u2013I was laughing as I wrote it, and hoped it would make you smile. \ud83d\ude42 I\u2019m sorry to hear about your marriage\u2013it sounds like you learned great lessons from it, despite the obvious pain.\nBritton, your post reminds me of few years back when I had to write a very long email to a particular group of girlfriends to \u2018break up\u2019 with them. They are nice people but hanging out with them always, always made me feel inferior. There was a night after dinner with them, I\u2019d felt so upset I sat down at a bus stop and teared up. So when I read this line \u201cIs there anyone in your life who, when they call, you send right to voice mail?\u201d I thought of them. Life is short. People do come into our lives for a reason. But when their presence makes us feel horrid, I think it\u2019s time to say \u2018no.\u2019 It isn\u2019t a dirty word. It\u2019s a word of decision.\nIt is difficult for me to imagine you feeling inferior, because I see you as a super-talented and kind person\u2013but I understand, because I too (a seemingly strong and confident person) have felt this way too. It\u2019s always a warning sign\u2013we should feel good when we are around our friends\u2013and SAFE, very very SAFE.\nYou had me with the photo of the horses. Recently, a friend I love very much has pushed me aside after 25 years without even talking to me about why. I\u2019m hurt and confused about it, but it also makes me sad for her, because I know what a good, loyal, valuable friend I am. It just makes me grateful for all the people in my life who truly do value me\nI\u2019m so sorry this is happening to you. It sounds as if something may be going on with your friend that she does not want you to know, or is afraid to discuss. Have you asked her about what is happening that would cause her to pull away after so many years?",

        "raw_content": "May 31, 2005: W. Mark Felt, Former FBI Official, Says He Was the Mysterious Watergate Source \u2018Deep Throat\u2019\nIn a twist worthy of le Carre\u0301, Deep Throat was assigned the mission of unearthing\u2014and stopping\u2014Deep Throat.\nBy Richard Kreitner and The Almanac\nMark Felt, who alleged to be the \u201cDeep Throat\u201d source for Washington Post journalists Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. (Wikimedia Commons)\nDeep Throat\u2019s identity was revealed numerous times before W. Mark Felt admitted it was him in 2005, including by Carl Bernstein\u2019s son at a summer camp in the late 1980s. But as David Corn and Jeff Goldberg revealed in the following Nation piece, Felt\u2019s identity was likely concealed to the larger public longer than it otherwise would have been by the fact that Felt himself was put in charge of the search for Deep Throat\u2019s true identity.\nThe recent dramatic revelation about W. Mark Felt\u2014the former top FBI man who has confessed to being Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein\u2019s secret source during the Watergate scandal\u2014has yielded what seems to be the final chapter in the Deep Throat saga, and thus the conclusion to a three-decade-long whodunit rich in detail, psychology and irony. But Felt\u2019s role as the most famous anonymous source in US history was even more complex and intrigue-loaded than the newly revised public account suggests. According to originally confidential FBI documents\u2014some written by Felt\u2014that were obtained by The Nation from the FBI\u2019s archives, Felt played another heretofore unknown part in the Watergate tale: He was, at heated moments during the scandal, in charge of finding the source of Woodward and Bernstein\u2019s Watergate scoops. In a twist worthy of le Carr\u00e9, Deep Throat was assigned the mission of unearthing\u2014and stopping\u2014Deep Throat.\nThe AlmanacToday in history\u2014and how The Nation covered it.",

        "raw_content": "Slide Show: CEO Bonus Season Is Here\nCEO bonus season is approaching, and despite a 9.8 percent unemployment rate, record-breaking poverty figures and more than 1 million expected foreclosures, top executives are raking in breathtaking sums\u2014even while laying off hundreds of employees. According to a report from the Institute for Policy Studies, CEO compensation reached record levels in 2009, and the companies who laid off the most employees reaped around 42 percent greater total compensation than the average S&P 500 company executive.\nYahoo CEO Carol Bartz was the highest paid CEO in 2009, according to AP calculations. She earned a total of more than $47 million in 2009, and she fired 600 workers in mid-December, just in time for the holidays. According to the AFL-CIO\u2019s calculations, her salary, bonus and other perks could support 3,131 minimum-wage earners, or 1,473 average workers.\nCredit: Reuters Pictures\nBank of America president of global banking and markets Thomas Montag made $30 million in 2009; now Arizona and Nevada are suing the bank for foreclosure fraud. The IPS reports BofA laid off 35,000 people between November 2008 and March 2010. Meanwhile, as Kai Wright wrote in the November 8 issue of The Nation, \u201cmillions of homeowners are fighting desperate battles right now and getting no real help from the White House or Congress, which has refused to pass the bankruptcy reform that would, finally, give borrowers the power to demand a fair deal.\u201d\nIt hurts even more when the people earning these kinds of figures are the same ones who helped create the economic crisis. Bloomberg News predicts Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein is on track to receive a $24.3 million bonus in stock in January, based on share prices\u2014even though, as Nation contributor Robert Scheer puts it, \"Goldman Sachs stands accused of selling dubious derivatives that concealed enormous government debt,\" and sent the global economy into a tailspin.\nEven the heads of companies that are slacking on their bailout repayments are cashing in big. In 2009, AIG CEO Robert Benmosche made $2.7 million. ProPublica recently dubbed his company the biggest TARP black hole: the insurance giant received $47 billion from the Treasury and $81 billion from the New York Fed, none of which has been paid back.\nAmerican Express\u2018s Kenneth Chenault made $16.8 million in total compensation last year; IPS reports that the company has fired 4,000 people over the past two years, since receiving nearly $3.4 billion in federal bailout money. They paid back their bailout funds in June 2009.\nGeneral Motors CEO Frederick Henderson made over $5 million 2009 compensation, and laid off 75,733 employees between November \u201908 and April \u201910, according to the IPS. The company received nearly 50 billion in bailout money, and only paid $7 billion back. Now it\u2019s 61 percent government-owned, and Congressional Oversight Panel reports this spring revealed that much more could have been done to protect taxpayers during the messy rescue operation.\nChairman and CEO of Morgan Stanley International, Walid Chammah, made a little over $10 million in 2009. The New York Times reported that New York AG Anthony Cuomo will be investigating whether eight banks manipulated the grading mechanism for mortgage securities by providing misleading information to rating agencies. Morgan Stanley is among them, along with Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Bank of America. This year they\u2019re planning to slash executive bonuses, according to the Washington Post.\nCEO of Citigroup\u2019s Clients Group John Havens made $12 million compensation in 2009 and laid off 52,175 employees over the past two years, according to IPS. Earlier this year, ProPublica tracked how Citigroup helped put the financial crisis into overdrive by buying its own collateralized debt obligations (CDOs). The Washington Post reported in May that Citigroup was being probed for shady dealings by the Department of Justice.\nAt JP Morgan Chase, William Winters\u2014Co-CEO of their Investment Bank\u2014made $19.6 million in 2009, according to the IPS. The company announced 14,000 layoffs between November 2008 and April 2010. JP Chairman and CEO James Dimon also took home over $15 million in 2009. According to the San Fransisco Chronicle, \u201cDimon and JPMorgan Chase were criticized during the TARP payments of 2008, as many questioned if JPMorgan really needed to be bailed out, but still accepted the TARP bailout, which it later paid back.\u201d Tom Petters, who\u2019s been convicted for running a Ponzi scheme, is now suing JP Morgan Chase for $266 million because they allegedly profited from his scheme.\nWells Fargo CEO John G. Stumpf made $21 million in 2009, making him the highest paid financial executive of the year, according to The New York Times. Stumpf opposes increased financial regulation, and, in 2010, his company spent close to $3.5 million in lobbying fees.\nResearch for this slide show provided by Braden Goyette",

        "raw_content": "Shane Lowry equals course record at Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA but admits mind was on fabled 59\nIrishman's 10-under par 62 on the National Course levels Henrik Stenson's score from the inaugural tournament in 2006\nShane Lowry and caddie Brian Martin after completing the first round at the 2019 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA. Getty Images\nShane Lowry equalled the course record at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA with a round that brought to mind fleeting thoughts of both the Irishman\u2019s greatest triumph, as well as \u2013 according to the man himself \u2013 the fabled figure of 59.\nLowry, 31, scorched the National Course in Round 1 of the 2019 tournament, matching the record total of 62 that Henrik Stenson shot in the third round of the inaugural event in 2006. At 10-under-par, Lowry will start Thursday\u2019s Round 2 with a three-shot lead over the field.\nCoincidentally, on the eve of the tournament, Lowry\u2019s dining companion had been Oliver Fisher, the player who had made history last year by becoming the first player to shoot 59 in a European Tour event.\nWhen Lowry was at his hottest on Wednesday \u2013 8-under through 12, following a run of eight birdies in 10 holes \u2013 he admitted he let his mind wander.\nSecond round groups and tee times for Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship\nAbu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA: Day 1 as it happened\nHole-by-hole guide to 2019 Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship presented by EGA\n\u201cIt equals the best score I\u2019ve ever shot - I think I\u2019ve had better rounds in tougher conditions, but it\u2019s up there,\u201d Lowry said.\n\u201cThe one thing I was very happy with was how I didn\u2019t panic at all when I got to 6-, 7-, 8-under. I was 8-under through 11 holes, had a 15-footer on the fourth hole [his 12th] to go 9-under. I was genuinely thinking, \u2018If I hole this, and manage to make a couple more before the last two holes, I\u2019ll have a chance at that\u2019.\n\u201cI was getting Ollie Fisher [in my mind]. Funny, I had dinner with him last night and we were talking about it. But, look, 10-under is a great score, and I\u2019m very happy with that.\u201d\nWhile his form coolled off slightly \u2013 to the extent that sub-60 was beyond him \u2013 he still made two more birdies in the six remaining holes, adding up to a tally of 10 over the course of the round.\nHis card might not have been quite so sparkling, were it not for an escape on the fifth hole \u2013 the 14th of Lowry\u2019s round \u2013 that was reminiscent of the extraordinary shot that clinched him the 2015 WGC Bridgestone Invitational title.\nBack then he won the European Tour\u2019s shot of the month for his sensational save from behind a tree at the 72nd hole, to beat Bubba Watson by two strokes.\nThat win remains the biggest of his career to date, and the stakes were undoubtedly much lower as he went about his fifth hole adventure in Abu Dhabi.\nThis time around, he was even further off the beaten track. As is always the case, the National Course is in mint condition this week, yet Lowry managed to crack the beautiful veneer by finding a derelict out-house when he tugged his tee shot a long way left of the fifth fairway.\nHe was afforded relief, but was left to hit from a patch of sand that took to the extreme the idea of \u201cwaste ground\u201d. All around him were old, broken chairs, tables and bins that the maintenance staff must surely have felt were far enough away from the action area as to be hidden from view.\nCrucially, Lowry spied a line through to the green. He found the front of it with his approach, and two putted.\n\u201cI hit an awful tee shot there and I got very lucky, got a free drop from a building, and managed to hit it on the green and make par,\u201d Lowry said.\n\u201cThat was big momentum in my round. If you make bogey or double there, which I was looking like doing, walking up after my tee shot, all of a sudden you are hanging on from there.\n\u201cBut I kept going, tried to make birdies, tried to hit good shots and that\u2019s what I did.\u201d\nShooting the equal lowest score of his career was the perfect start to the new campaign for a player who has been forced into a new outlook on his career.\nLowry lost his PGA Tour card at the end of last season, hence his appearance in Abu Dhabi for the first time since 2014, rather than in the United States.\nThe enforced change of perspective, as well as the accession of Padraig Harrington to the role of Europe\u2019s captain, has led him to a new goal - a Ryder Cup debut, at Whistling Straights in 2020.\n\u201cI\u2019ve never played Ryder Cup, and to play with him as my captain would be unbelievable,\u201d Lowry said.",

        "raw_content": "Rousey Another Reminder That Invincibility Does Not Exist in MMA\n0 0 Nisar Khan Sunday, 15 November 2015 Edit this post\nAs Ronda Rousey crashed to the canvas at the hands of a thunderous head-kick from Holly Holm, the prospect of retiring undefeated crashed with her.\nA record-breaking attendance at Melbourne's Etihad Stadium witnessed the most shocking moment in the history of the sport. It was shocking for a reason.\nThat reason? Well you needn't look further than the stellar career of the former champion. Ronda Rousey had transcended mixed martial arts to new found heights, her stardom was on an astronomic scale. Anyone who was put in front of her was demolished in emphatic fashion.\nHowever, this time round. It was an unlucky thirteenth fight for \"Rowdy\". She was at the receiving end of an emphatic finish, outclassed Down Under, finished less than a minute into the second round through a head-kick and punches.\nImage: For The Win\nJust like the former champion will be doing, many experts and fight fans will spend the next few days trying to get their head wrapped around the events from UFC 193. Holly Holm was an extreme underdog in the fight, yet she showed exactly why this sport leaves no space for undefeated records.\nAnderson Silva's dethroning over the course of two losses in title fights with Chris Weidman was a prominent reminder, many years after Georges St. Pierre was flattened by Matt Serra. The manner in which Ronda had dominated followed suit, but when she was knocked out cold, a collective gasp was shared by the world.\nFollowing the male martial arts icons, having a female fighter who catapulted the sport to new heights made a lot of things hinge on it. Known as the \"World's most dominant athlete\", Rousey's knockout loss will be remembered for years to come. It's another lesson.\nImage: SoCal Sports\nIn comparison to other sports, mixed martial arts is very young. Dominant athletes will come; and whether they remain dominant will lay to the question of how much the sport grows. Ronda Rousey was outmatched on the striking, it was a perfect storm.\nJust like every sport, people or teams catch up. In the sport of combat that may take longer, but it will still soon happen. MMA is no exception.\nThat's why we love this sport. It's unpredictable, thrilling and heartbreaking all at the same time. It taught the world another lesson in Melbourne.\nRonda Rousey is far from out of the picture but she is not invincible. When you're in a type of sport like MMA, where everything is so complete, you just can't be the best at everything. That is why, sooner or later, you get defeated. Fighters come close to proving it wrong, but they fall short. Ronda fell short.\nMore: UFC 193 report\nTheSportMatrix \u2022 We Live For Sport: Rousey Another Reminder That Invincibility Does Not Exist in MMA\nhttps://pbs.twimg.com/media/CT1dsyWU8AAonaM.jpg\nhttps://www.thesportmatrix.com/2015/11/mma-rousey-invincibility.html",

        "raw_content": "Senator shows why \u2018sober second thought\u2019 matters: Goar\nNormally a speech in the Senate would attract as much attention as an avalanche in Antarctica. But on April 16, word filtered out that Opposition Leader James Cowan had something important to say.\nEconomist Armine Yalniznyan, tipped off in advance, listened.\nCowan delivered the kind of speech rarely heard in Parliament these days. It was sweeping in its scope and rich in detail. Having practised law for four decades before his Senate appointment, Cowan knew how to build a case, back it up with credible evidence and use his rhetorical skills to hold the attention of his audience. When he reached the end, six Conservative senators joined their Liberal colleagues in applauding.\nThe focus of Cowan\u2019s speech was Bill C-377, one of the rare private member\u2019s bills approved by the Commons. It was introduced by Conservative backbencher Russ Hiebert and whisked through all stages of Commons debate in a single year.\nIt would require unions to make public all expenditures exceeding $5,000 and every paycheque over $100,000. They would also be required to disclose what percentage of their funds they used for lobbying and political activities.\nThe Liberals hope to hold up the legislation in the Senate long enough that it will die on the order paper.\nCowan began his speech by putting Bill C-377 in context. \u201cIt\u2019s part of a larger story, one in which the government of Stephen Harper is trying to systematically silence individuals and organizations that dare to challenge it publicly,\u201d he said.\nThen he set out his proof:\nSince 2006, the government has systematically cancelled funding to groups that question its priorities; women\u2019s organizations that promote gender equality; the Canadian Council on Learning, which advocates education beginning in early childhood; foreign development agencies that side with impoverished Africans and Asians against western development of their resources, and anti-poverty groups at home.\nNext it went after environmental groups, threatening to revoke their charitable status if they delayed pipelines or advocated sustainable development.\nThen it muzzled federal scientists, record-keepers and librarians.\nNow it has set its sights on organized labour, promising to make unions accountable to their members. But laws already exist to do that, Cowan pointed out. Both the Canada Labour Code and provincial statutes require unions to provide their members with up-to-date financial statements and any other internal document on request at no cost. \u201cThe bill is simply not needed.\u201d\nAfter questioning the bill\u2019s rationale, he proceeded analyze it clause-by-clause, showing the consequences of each provision.\nHe clarified how many people would be caught in its net; not just a handful of union bosses, but tens of thousands of suppliers and contractors \u2014 from caterers to computer technicians \u2014 who do business with unions. He refuted the Tory contention that the bill would cost taxpayers nothing, pointing out Revenue Canada would have to collate, process, verify and publish much more information than it has ever done, which would require either more employees or large overtime payments. He reminded listeners the bill would impose an onerous administrative burden on unions \u2014 especially small locals \u2014 pushing aside their members\u2019 needs. It would rip open the privacy of anyone who worked for or provided services to unions and give firms seeking to undercut a union supplier a gold mine of previously confidential information.\n\u201cI want to be absolutely sure that we will be voting with our eyes wide open on this private member\u2019s bill,\u201d Cowan concluded, thanking fellow legislators for their patience.\nThe speech was an oratorical tour de force. To Yalnizyan, it represented \u201can important moment in our political and parliamentary history.\u201d She emailed the text to all her contacts and asked them to circulate it widely. It has now spread through the women\u2019s movement, the academic community, the anti-poverty network and social media.\nIt is unlikely Bill C-377 will go down in the Senate.

        "raw_content": "Roosevelt's dip in production emblematic of Riders' offensive struggles\nREGINA \u2014 Naaman Roosevelt expected to be a vital cog in the Saskatchewan Roughriders' offence again in 2018.\nThe receiver was named the Riders' Most Outstanding Player in 2016 after gaining 1,095 yard on 76 catches in just 11 games. The 30-year-old followed up with 1,035 yards on 75 catches in 14 games in 2017 and was named to the West Division all-star team.\nBut 2018 has been a different story as Roosevelt, like the rest of the Riders offence, has struggled. Heading into Saturday's game in Toronto against the Argonauts, Roosevelt is averaging 3.6 catches and 39 yards receiving per game this season, compared to averages of 5.4 catches and 74 yards in 2017.\nRoosevelt says there isn't a simple explanation for his struggles this season.\n\"Truthfully, I don't even know,\" Roosevelt said after Tuesday's practice. \"I just go out there, try to work hard and whatever play is called, I'm working as hard as I possibly can. Sometimes you see the safety is over the top when the quarterback is looking my way so then Zach (Collaros) has to go some other ways sometimes.\n\"For me, if the ball is coming my way I'm going to try and make sure I'm going to go get it no matter what. Whether it's one guy or two guys next to me, I'm going to try and make the big play for this team.\"\nOffensive co-ordinator Stephen McAdoo has come under some fire from Roughrider fans for not featuring the all-star receiver enough in his system, but Roosevelt said he doesn't feel that he's been forgotten in the offensive scheme.\n\"I don't think so. I think it's just that we've got a lot of young guys that are doing good things. We've got guys that can make plays. The coaches are calling the plays and we're out there running them and whatever happens just happens. For me, it's important to be a professional and play hard every play.\"\nRoosevelt said that he hears the outside noise about his lack of production from the Riders' rabid fanbase.\n\"You definitely do. We feel it ourselves as an offence,\" he said. \"We definitely know we've got a talented offence and the ability to make plays and score touchdowns but for some reason it's just not happening. For us, it's important for us to go out there and keep playing and keep working, staying after practice, talking to each other, communicating and trying to get stuff down. Eventually, we'll break through.\"\nSaskatchewan's 30-25 loss to the Ottawa Redblacks on Sept. 15 was indicative of how Roosevelt's season is going. He caught three passes for 47 yards and one touchdown, but was only targeted four times out of 27 pass attempts.\nRoosevelt continues to focus on the aspects of the game that he can control.\n\"I have to understand what I have to do as a player,\" said Roosevelt. \"If it's a run play, then I'm going to go block and if it's a pass play, I'm running routes to the best of my ability . . . The main goal is winning the Grey Cup and I'm going to work as hard as I can to get this team to a Grey Cup.\"\nJeff DeDekker, The Canadian Press",

Here is what she shared on Instagram on Friday:\n\u201cI met Harvey at an industry party. The following day, my agent said he wanted to see me for a general meeting. The location was set for his hotel room. I wasn\u2019t comfortable with going to his room & said so. The following day, we sat down with an assistant in the hotel restaurant. He bullsh-t me for 5 minutes re: movies he could put me in, then asked the assistant to excuse us. As she walked away, he said, \u2018I know you were feeling what I was feeling when we met the other night\u2019 and then regaled me with offers of a lavish life filled with trips around the world on private planes etc. IF I would be his girlfriend. Or, \u2018We could just keep this professional.\u2019 All I knew was not to offend this very powerful man and to get out of the situation as quickly as possible. I told him while flattered, I\u2019d like to keep things professional. He said \u2018Fine. I trust you won\u2019t tell anyone about this.\u2019 I said \u2018Of course not. Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me,\u2019 \u2013 the only way I could think to shut it down gracefully and excuse myself.\u201d\nKelly continued, \u201cI immediately told my agent what happened. We marveled at his audacity, reinforced my instinct not to offend him & laughed at how glad I was to get out of there. Neither of us were that surprised as this wasn\u2019t far off from the day-to-day bulls\u2013t of being an actress.\u201d\nAlso Read: Holly Hunter 'Infuriated' by Harvey Weinstein Reports: 'The Destruction Is Deep and Lasting'\nKelly went on to apologize for \u201cprotecting his behavior\u201d by remaining silent about the encounter.\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry for obliging his orders to be complicit in protecting his behavior, which he obviously knew was wrong or he wouldn\u2019t have asked me not to tell anyone in the first place,\u201d Kelly wrote. \u201cFor making him feel ok about the gross things he was saying and that I felt my only route was to say I was flattered. For not insisting that my reps never allow anyone to take a meeting in a hotel room (with him or anyone else), because I honestly don\u2019t know what might have happened if I\u2019d just showed up as originally scheduled. I am appalled for all the women being told these occurrences are in any way their fault. No more Harvey Weinstein in Hollywood does not solve the problem but maybe the more voices sharing their stories and adding support to the countless women and men who have suffered through abuse of power, the less it will be tolerated.\u201d\nWeinstein has been mired in scandal since last week, when an explosive article in the New York Times reported that he engaged in sexual harassment and misconduct for decades and reached settlements with eight women.\nAlso Read: Quentin Tarantino 'Heartbroken' by Harvey Weinstein Scandal\nA subsequent article in The New Yorker detailed the claims of multiple accusers, which also included multiple allegations of rape.\nSince then, a number of women have come forward to detail Weinstein\u2019s inappropriate behavior toward them, including Angelina Jolie, Rose McGowan and Gwyneth Paltrow.\nOn Sunday, Weinstein was fired from his company.\nAlso Read: Oliver Stone's Defense of Harvey Weinstein Sparks Anger, Accusations\nIn a statement to The New Yorker, a spokesperson for the disgraced film mogul said, \u201cAny allegations of non-consensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.\u201d\nBy Meriah Doty and Tim Kenneally | October 13, 2017 @ 9:46 AM\n\u2018Morning Joe\u2019 Guest Compares Donald Trump to Harvey Weinstein: \u2018There Are a Lot of Parallels\u2019 (Video)\nHolly Hunter \u2018Infuriated\u2019 by Harvey Weinstein Reports: \u2018The Destruction Is Deep and Lasting\u2019",

We know what we\u2019re all about.\n\u201cIf we turn up on the day, there\u2019s no team in this league that will deal with us - and Morecambe got that last week.\u201d\nGiven last season\u2019s torrid relegation from League One, it\u2019s a fair question to ask where such inner confidence comes from?\nBlair said: \u201cIt comes from the staff, from the top down, it comes from the fans, and it comes from ourselves, from the group of lads that we\u2019ve got.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve got a group that want to encourage and help each other.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not a case if you give the ball away you get eight or nine people shouting at you.\n\u201cIf you give the ball away, but you\u2019re doing the right things, people will encourage that.\u201d\nBlair\u2019s versatility has been a blessing for Rovers in light of their early-season injury problems.\nAnd the former Mansfield and York City man insists he is happy to fill in where required.\n\u201cI\u2019m always learning and I feel like I\u2019ve learned a lot under the gaffer and Gavin Strachan during the short time I\u2019ve been here so far about different roles and different positions,\u201d he said.\n\u201cI\u2019m just opening my options up and hoping I can do a good enough job to keep myself in the team, whether that be midfield, right wing, right back or wing back.\n\u201cWherever I play I\u2019ll try my best and that\u2019s all I can do.\n\u201cI like to think I\u2019m a versatile player and I\u2019ll play wherever I\u2019m needed to play.\n\u201cThe gaffer gives me great confidence in playing me at right back and thinking I\u2019m good enough to play there and do the job he wants me to do - as well as central midfield, right wing, up front, wherever.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Iron Chronicles \u00bb Christopher\n\u201cIf your doctor is stumped and they can\u2019t figure out what your health issue is, get a Ferritin test.\u201d\nIn early 2013, I started having brain fog and total exhaustion. I would wake up and be so exhausted I couldn\u2019t really function. Doctors said it was depression, but I was really starting to worry.\nMy doctor sent me to the psychiatrist, who I was already seeing for depression. The funny thing is that he had just happened to read a book by Marie Warder, the founder of the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society, about her husband\u2019s experience with the disorder.\nHe sent me out for a battery of tests, and he included a Ferritin test. When it came back, my Ferritin level was off the charts. It was up over1,300 ng/mL when you should normally have about 200. At that time, he was pretty sure I had hemochromatosis and so he sent me for the DNA test, and sure enough it came back with a double match.\nAfter diagnosis, the problem was I didn\u2019t know what to do next. The doctors were pretty uneducated about the condition, and they just said \u201cgo get your blood checked\u201d and donate blood.\nMy doctor referred me to a blood specialist but the appointment was more than 11 months away. In the meantime I did as they said and went to donate blood at Canadian Blood Services, but they allow people to give blood only once every two months. In hindsight, the donations weren\u2019t frequent enough to do me any good because I had so much iron in my system that it was starting to really cause major health problems for me.\nI ended up suffering through most of the summer before I discovered the book my psychiatrist had talked about, The Bronze Killer. Once I read it I realized, \u201cWow, I have to do something. This is pretty bad.\u201d I had to take the next steps into my own hands.\nI called the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society, and they were phenomenal. I was pretty nervous about the disorder but they put all my fears to rest. They told me what I had to do next. They said, \u201cYou need to get in to see a specialist and you need to get de-ironed.\u201d\nI had to go back to my doctor and insist on a referral to a particular specialist at VGH. When I went to see him, he scared the pants off me at first because he told me I had five years to live. I\u2019m a young man, being 50 at the time, and all I could think of was \u201cOh, no.\u201d But I believe he scared me intentionally so that I would take my health into my own personal care and make sure I got through this.\nThe de-ironing process is very difficult because you have to remove blood every week. I was already exhausted, and these bloodlettings made me feel worse. But I persevered because I had no choice. Now I am de-ironed, and have been maintaining my proper iron levels for two years. I\u2019ve made some other tremendous health changes so that I don\u2019t have to give blood as often anymore.\nMy message to you is that if your doctor is stumped and they can\u2019t figure out what your health issue is, get a Ferritin test. It\u2019s such a simple check. The Canadian Hemochromatosis Society was my biggest champion. I want people who think they may have this disorder \u2013 or who have just been diagnosed \u2013 to know that they\u2019re there for you. They\u2019ll answer your questions and provide support.",

Well, the new RS5 can hit the 62 mph sprint in as little as 3.9 seconds \u2013 an improvement of 0.3 seconds over the outgoing model \u2013 and it breaks even in top speed at 174 mph. That\u2019s not bad, but if you want to feel upset about no increase in horsepower, you might want to take into consideration that this RS5 has a much smaller engine compared to the 4.2-liter V-8 that was found in the last-gen model. But, the RS5 really is about more than just engine specs and performance numbers, so let\u2019s dive on in and take a look at the whole picture before this bad boy makes it into dealer showrooms later this year.\nUpdate 03/12/2018: Audi has decided to sell the RS5 in the United States, and it has a significantly lower price than expected.

The German manufacturer proudly presents us \u2019New Santa\u2019 in the Christmasy ad they\u2019ve released ahead of the holiday season\nCrossfit Santa Gets a New Ride This Christmas\nJingle Bells Get Replaced By Four Rings\nChristmas is just round the corner and we can see a lot of holiday-themed commercials on television and over the internet. In fact, even automakers get creative during this season and some of them stand out. This particular video by Audi is here to put people into a festive mood by featuring a crowd-pulling celeb \u2013 Santa Claus.\nIt\u2019s quite a trick build as the RS5 retains the original Quattro all-wheel drive system\nDecember 12, 2018 16:00 by Andrei Nedelea\nThe Audi RS5, built between 2010 and 2015, was powered by a screaming, high-revving, V-8 engine and was widely acknowledged as being one of the best of its kind. However, what do you do when your car doesn\u2019t have an engine or its engine is junk and you need to replace it with something else? How about you slot in a Tesla motor and battery pack to see how that transforms the car.\nFour-door coupes are starting to flood the market, and that\u2019s why Audi came up with the RS5 Sportback, an all-new model in the lineup and the seventh Audi Sport model, sharing a similar design with the RS7 Sportback. It got all of the typical RS cues inside and out but is powered by a 2.9-liter, Biturbo mill that is borrowed from the Porsche Panamera. It can hit 60 mph faster than a BMW 650i or Mercedes CLS500 and does so looking good in the process. Based on the RS 5 Coupe, the Sportback should command somewhere around $80,000 when it goes on sale in the second half of 2018.\nUpdate 08/22/2018: Audi has announced pricing for the 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback as well as a long list of standard options but leaves us in the dark when it comes to pricing for the RS 5 Coupe.

The Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, or DTM for short, is Germany\u2019s premier touring car race series, often pitting the big three German makes of Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz against one another on circuits around Europe. Audi Sport had a very impressive performance during the 2017 season, snagging a slew of titles and achieving its \u201cmost successful results of all time,\u201d according to the team. However, the 2018 season is now upon us, and with it, a variety of regulation changes shake up the competitive landscape. So, how did Audi adapt to the revisions compared to Merc and BMW? Read on to find out.\nContinue reading to learn more about the Audi RS 5 DTM.\nWant a Performance Wagon Other than a AMG E 63 S or the Panamera Sport Turismo? Tell Audi You Want an RS Avant\nKeep writing those letter; Audi could be reading them\nThe Audi RS Avant super wagons aren\u2019t available in the U.S., but that doesn\u2019t mean the status quo isn\u2019t going to change. Audi is open to bringing its rip-roaring machines to the land of milk and honey; it just needs to make a good business case for it. In that vein, fans of the RS 4 and RS 6 Avants can do their part to convince Audi by \u201cwriting letters\u201d to the German automaker. Tongue-in-cheek hints aside, these letters could go a long way in establishing a viable marketplace for both super wagons.\nWallpaper of the Day: 2019 Audi RS5 Sportback\nIt just recently debuted but nobody can seem to get enough of it. Maybe it\u2019s that four-door coupe look, or maybe it\u2019s the fact that it has five doors. Maybe it\u2019s that it sits lower and is wider than the RS5 Coupe. It could be that 2.9-liter with 444 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. Even if you plan on getting one, you\u2019ve still got a while to wait, so why not plaster it all over your desktop with one of our high-resolution wallpapers?\nAudi May Bring RS Avant Models To The U.S. But It\u2019s A Reach\nWho doesn\u2019t love a fast wagon? We\u2019re certainly pretty big fans, and we can\u2019t help but dribble a bit when considering the prospect of getting into something like Audi\u2019s line of RS Avants. Now, it looks like the Four-Ring brand is actually considering bringing these quick-\u2019n-practical machines stateside. Maybe. Hopefully? All told, the brand isn\u2019t ruling it out - we\u2019ll take it.\nAudi RS 5 Sportback: Making Things Look Bleak for the BMW 6 Series and Mercedes CLS\nGo ahead \u2013 convince your wife that it\u2019s the perfect family car\nThe whole \u201cfour-door coupe\u201d trend has really been catching on lately, so it\u2019s no surprise, really, when a new one pops up. Audi has a small lineup of these niche-bred models, and the latest to join the \u201cSportback\u201d and \u201cAudi Sport\u201d lineup is the RS5 Sportback. As an Audi Sport model, the RS5 Sportback isn\u2019t playing around either \u2013 it\u2019s got the look and power of a sports car with the practicality of a sedan with a long, coupe-like roof. It gets a revised suspension, a powerful V-6 engine, and loads of technology. Now, the only thing you have to do is convince the wife that you need an $80,000 rocket-propelled family car.\nAudi Claims The New RS5 Can Do 0 to 60 MPH in Four Seconds, But What Can it Do Under \"Ideal Conditions?\"\nCould it be faster than its published performance times?\nAudi has pulled the covers off of the RS5 Sportback at the 2018 New York Auto Show. The RS5 Sportback is the latest version from the RS5 family, following in the footsteps of the RS5 Coupe. As first impressions go, the four-door performance sedan not only looks positively stunning, it also packs a mean punch that allows it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just under four seconds.\nI like mine in Sonoma Green\nIt took Audi quite a few years to offer a competitor for the BMW 4 Series, previously known as the 3 Series Coupe, as the A5 made its debut back in 2007. The performance-spec RS5 took another three years to arrive in showrooms as a competitor for the BMW M4 and Mercedes-AMG C63. With a brand-new A5 launched in 2016, an updated RS5 was finally introduced at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. Now that the German coupe made its way to the United States, you can configure the RS5 of your dreams from the comfort of your home.\nAre You Ready? Audi Sport Promises Eight New U.S. Models By 2020\nVideo: Motor Trend Puts 2014 Audi RS5 Vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 507 Coupe\n2017 Audi RS5 Coupe RS500 By Manhart Racing\nTurn the tables on other mid-size performance coupes with Manhart\u2019s latest tuning kit\nManhart Racing is known for creating some incredible tuning programs in the past, most recently turning the BMW M5 into an 800-horsepower powerhouse. Now the German tuner is turning its sights on the Audi RS5 with a new program that packs plenty of aftermarket punch. Ok, maybe it\u2019s not as potent as the M5\u2019s kit, but it\u2019s still good enough to bring some extra level of excitement to Audi\u2019s resident mid-size performance coupe.\nIn keeping with Manhart Racing\u2019s tradition, the aptly named RS500 tuning program is packing the load with power and performance bits. It also features a number of handy visual upgrades in case you\u2019re in the mood to turn your RS5s into something that looks right at home in the Fast and Furious franchise. But enough of the small talk. The RS500 program is largely tied into the objective of giving the Audi RS5 more than what it\u2019s capable of. It\u2019s about giving the RS5 the chance to maximize its potential as a performance car. It\u2019s about turning the spotlight to arguably one of the most underrated performance cars in the market today. Give it some cosmetic upgrades, slap on a few engine upgrades, and dial up the suspension work. That\u2019s the name of Manhart Racing\u2019s RS500 tuning game and the results, well, they certainly speak for themselves. So if any of you own an Audi RS5 and you\u2019re looking to give it an aftermarket touch, you\u2019re going to need to take a long and hard look at what Manhart Racing has on the table.\nContinue after the jump to read more about the Audi RS5 RS500 by Manhart Racing.\n2018 Audi RS4 And RS5 Carbon Editions\nLighter and leaner performance models are always good recipes for an improved driving experience\nIn a day and age where \u201cspecial edition\u201d models can mean just about anything under the sun, Audi has found a nifty trick to kill two birds with one stone by offering special edition models for the Audi RS4 Avant and the Audi RS5 Coupe. Officially, both models are have been designated as Carbon Editions, a nod to the smattering of carbon bits they received that help make them lighter and a bit more fun to drive on the open road.\nThe lightweight blueprint is a tried-and-tested one, and many automakers have taken that approach to squeeze out every ounce of improved performance they can out of their cars without having to pump more power out of the engines. Audi\u2019s approach with the RS4 and RS5 Carbon Editions is similar by the sheer number of carbon fiber reinforced polymer add-ons both models received. The goal of replacing the standard parts with CFRP counterparts is to make both cars lighter, which is exactly what Audi accomplished. The RS4, for example, is now 80 kilos (176 pounds) lighter than its standard counterpart whereas the RS5 slashes 60 kilos (132 pounds) from its original weight. Does the weight loss spell massive improvements in performance? Not quite. But don\u2019t think that these are \u201cstandard\u201d RS4s and RS5s either. If anything, these two new special editions should be lighter on their feet, and we know what that equates to in the end.\nContinue after the jump to read more about the Audi RS4 Avant and RS5 Coupe Carbon Editions.\nAudi Exec Calls Audi RS5 Coupe\u2019s Published Performance Numbers \"Conservative\"\nTurns out, the performance coupe has a faster acceleration time than its rivals from Mercedes-AMG and BMW\nWe\u2019re well past the halfway point of 2017 and the first half of the year has brought us plenty of exciting cars to look forward to. One new car that hasn\u2019t gotten as much love as it probably deserves is the Audi RS5 Coupe. It was introduced at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, and while it had a good run in the spotlight, it hasn\u2019t had the same kind of sustained exposure the German automaker wants. Well, that changes today because Audi Sport\u2019s Head of Technical Development Stephen Reil dropped a juicy bit of information about the sports coupe in an interview with Car Advice. In so many words, Reil is claiming that the RS5 Coupe is even faster than Audi\u2019s own published claims.\nReil specifically singled-out the RS5 Coupe\u2019s acceleration time in the interview. Apparently, the automaker\u2019s claim that the performance coupe can clock in a 0-to-62-mph time is conservative to what it can actually do. According to Reil, the car can actually accelerate from an idle position to 62 mph in \u201cas little as 3.7 seconds under ideal conditions.\u201d Now the caveat of \u201cideal conditions\u201d will raise some eyebrows, but Reil added that \u201ceven under the worst conditions,\u201d it can do its published 3.9-second acceleration time.\u201d This is interesting because if the RS5 Coupe can really do 3.7 seconds going from a full stop position to 62 mph, it will separate itself from its competitors, namely the Mercedes-AMG C63 and the BMW M4, at least as far as this comparison is concerned.\nIt looks like we\u2019ll finally be getting the RS models that we\u2019ve always wanted.\nThe basis for Audi Sport has been around since 1983 but operated under the name Quattro GmbH, a name that paid tribute to the original Audi Quattro \u2013 a rally-inspired road car that changed the Audi changed the Audi brand forever. Well, Audi had to keep up with the times and spruce things up a bit, so in 2016, the Quattro brand was renamed to Audi Sport. Now, in 2017, The Audi Sport name has been established here in the U.S., and it all happened at the New York Auto Show. What\u2019s really important, however, isn\u2019t the introduction of Audi Sport here in the U.S. but what it means for those of us with an RS itch that just can\u2019t be scratched.\nUp until now, the only Audi Sport or RS models you could get in the states have been limited to the R8, R8 Spyder, and the RS7. We\u2019ve had to sit and watch in agonizing pain as other markets, like Germany, get a much wider lineup that includes the RS 3 Sportback, RS3 Limo, RS 5 Coupe, RS 6 Avant, RS7 Sportback, TT RS Coupe, and the TT RS Roadster. That\u2019s a whole lineup of sexy, race-tuned performance for the taking, but as I said, we haven\u2019t had the luxury. All that is about to change though, thanks to the introduction of Audi Sport here in the U.S. To kick things off in the U.S., we\u2019re going to get the 2017 R8 V10 Spyder, and for the first time ever, we\u2019re going to get the RS 3. Later on, we\u2019ll be getting the RS 5 Coupe \u2013 a model that\u2019s powered by a brand-new 2.9-liter V-6 with 450 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. Audi promises that it\u2019ll be able to get you to 62 mph in all of 3.9 seconds.\nBut, that\u2019s not all we\u2019re getting. According to Audi, we\u2019ll see a total of eight new Audi Sport models unleashed on the U.S. market over the next 24 months. There\u2019s no word as to what models these will be outside of what we\u2019ve already discussed, but it sure will be nice to have an RS option that doesn\u2019t set you back six figures, don\u2019t you think?\nThe Audi RS 5 DTM Looks Ready To Take On Any Competition\nAudi has a new weapon for the race track.\nMost of Audi\u2019s cars leave me feeling unimpressed and always wishing for more, at least in the looks department, but Audi\u2019s race cars have never let me down. The last-gen RS 5 DTM was beautiful, powerful, and full of aggressiveness that says \u201cI want to eat your face.\u201d But, racing regulations have changed since that last RS 5 DTM rolled onto the track for the first time, so there was no telling how the next-gen model would look. Then, the doors to the Geneva Auto Show opened to the public and what did we see sitting alongside the road-going RS 5? You guessed it \u2013 the next-gen RS 5 DTM. New regulations require these cars be harder to drive, in hopes that it will put more emphasis on the skill of the man (or woman) behind the wheel. That means reduced aerodynamic downforce, different tire setups, and a car that sits higher than before. Be that as it may, the new RS 5 DTM still looks like it wants to eat your face, and your children, for that matter.\nChanges to the body include the new-gen headlights, a sticker that resembles the new RS5\u2019s wider grille, revised side skirts that have fewer winglets and a whole new design in the rear, and more rounded wheel arches. In the rear, the GTM receives new, sleeker taillights and a new rear diffuser that isn\u2019t quite as aggressive and has a few more fins. The Spoiler is now angled less aggressively. Overall, it\u2019s an attractive looking race car and certainly looks like it\u2019s ready to tackle the competition. The DTM will ride a little high and makes use of softer tires supplied by Hankook, and are actually designed to offer quicker lap times from the start, but start degrading after just a few laps. But, there\u2019s a little more to talk about, so click \u201ccontinue reading\u201d to learn more.\nThere\u2019s always some pressure in being the first of something, no matter what that something is. Sometimes, that pressure turns into a diamond and there other times when it gets pulverised by the weight of expectations tied around it. In the case of Audi and the new RS5, otherwise known as the first RS-badged Audi to come out of freshly rebranded Audi Sport division, the expectations that come with being the \u201cfirst\u201d was turned into this beautiful-looking machinery that\u2019s very easy on the eyes.\nFar be it for me to quickly confess to falling in love, but there is something about the new RS5\u2019s design that\u2019s tugging at those precarious heart strings. I can\u2019t tell if it\u2019s the sloping hood, the aggressive bumper with the massive inlets, or the natural coupe-like stance. Maybe it\u2019s even a combination of all these things put together. What I can tell you is that the RS5 finally looks the part of a an RS model after years of seemingly being a blanket of blandness, hiding behind a badge.\nThis... this is what the Audi RS5 should look like. The sporty and aggressive front end combines with a muscular rear section to create a well-balanced look that fits into what an RS model should while also still clinging to status and class of being a mid-sized luxury sedan wearing a four rings badge. Even the windmill-like design of those 19-inch alloys comes naturally to the RS5, blending seamlessly into the overall design of the car while still having enough \"pop!\" to stand out on its own.\nJust so it\u2019s clear. The new Audi RS5 made its debut at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show this week. Even with the cavalcade of world debuts and concepts in that floor, the RS5 is probably going to be difficult to miss.\nBack in 2007, Audi made its return to the high-end compact coupe segment with the A5, offering a hardtop, cabriolet, and four-door \u201cSportback\u201d bodystyle. Bearing many similarities to the A4 sedan, the A5 stood apart thanks to its significantly sportier feel, making it a prime candidate for a go-faster S5 variant. But as Audi\u2019s chief rivals upped the ante with ever-increasing performance levels, the Four Ring brand was compelled to create the top dog RS5. Boasting more aggressive styling, snappier suspension, and of course, more power, the RS5 had all the trimmings to meet its AMG and M division challengers. Initially offered as a coupe, the RS5 went topless in 2012 following a mid-cycle facelift, hitting U.S. dealers in April of 2013. Unfortunately, production ended in 2015, but now, a next-gen RS5 Cabriolet looks like it\u2019s just over the horizon. Official details are still forthcoming, but we\u2019re expecting a massaged exterior, new interior tech, and a turbo V-6.\nWhile nothing at this point is official, the new RS5 Cabriolet is expected to drop cover after a reveal of the next-gen RS5 Coupe, which was recently spotted testing following the debut of the new A5 and S5.\nAudi aficionados with a penchant for adrenaline-boosted open-air motoring have no doubt been clamoring to catch a glimpse of the new model, but without anything official to go on, we drew up a rendering, did a little digging, and came up with the following speculative review. Read on for the details.\nContinue reading to learn more about the 2018 Audi RS5 Cabriolet.\nAudi Sets New Lap Record For Cars With Diesel Engines\nAudi has set a new lap record for diesel-powered cars around the German Sachsenring race track. The vehicle used was the 2014 Audi RS 5 TDI competition concept, which managed to complete a run around the 3.6 km (2.2-mile) course in 1 minute 35.35 seconds, besting the previous record by 1.87 seconds. Powering the car was an innovative twin-turbo six-cylinder that gets an additional boost from an electrically driven compressor.\nBehind the wheel was professional racer Nicki Thiim, who drove the Audi on its record-breaking run as part of Sachsenring Record Day, an event organized by Michelin and the German magazine Auto Bild Sportscars. The achievement echoes similar success attained earlier in the spring, when the German publication Sport Auto brought the RS 5 concept to Hockenheim and posted the quickest lap in the mag\u2019s history for a diesel-powered car.\nAudi Temporarily Discontinues the RS4 Avant and RS5\nThe Audi RS family is now short by two members, according to a report out of Germany. The claim is that the German automaker has temporarily discontinued the 2013 Audi RS4 Avant and the 2014 Audi RS5 Coupe and 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet.\nWhat\u2019s odd about this report is the timing. You see, the A4 and A5 are set for updates in 2016, and their respective RS versions will not arrive until 2017. This means that there will be a full two years before the new versions of these models roll out.\nOn the surface, there isn\u2019t a very good reason for discontinuing these two with such a large gap between now and the production restart. Obviously, there is more to this than meets the eye, but I am drawing a blank as to what the other reasons could be.\nFor those of you who simply cannot wait until 2017, the S4 and S5 will get their refresh in 2016 as well. This way, you can get at least a taste of Audi performance without waiting too awfully long.\nTo make matters worse, if you were planning on running out and picking up one of these discontinued models now, you may be out of luck. According to the report, Audi has already stopped production and is not taking any more orders of these two RS models. So, you had better hope that dealers in your area have a little leftover stock.\nI hope that we\u2019ll have some updates on the next-generation RS4 and RS5 soon, but I don\u2019t recommend holding your breath.\nThe Audi RS 5 burst into the scene back in 2010 when Audi decided that a high-powered sports coupe would be a worthy addition to the A5 family. The decision turned out to be a stroke of fortuitous timing for Audi as the voluminous sales of the R8 supercar created a demand for a cheaper sports-car alternatives from Audi. Since its arrival, the RS 5 has held its own in its segment, even though it probably needs to get a decent-sized update soon. But instead of taking that route, Audi\u2019s been content with keeping the sports coupe\u2019s original guts intact.\nThe RS 5 is still good enough to be a legitimate sports prowler in the market, and with models like the 75-unit RS 5 Sport Edition, we can still see the sports coupe as a legitimate option in its segment. But with new models like the BMW M4 and to a lesser extent, the Mercedes CLA 45 AMG, there\u2019s going to be a time when Audi will have to roll out a new RS 5.\nUntil then, special-edition models like the Sport Edition can probably still hold down the fort.\nClick past the read more about the Audi Exclusive RS 5 Coupe Sport Edition.\n2014 Audi RS5-R by ABT Sportsline\nABT Sportsline isn\u2019t bashful about admitting its expertise in developing aftermarket programs for Audi vehicles. It\u2019s actually quite proud of it; often touting itself as the biggest tuner of Audis in the world. That distinction didn\u2019t happen overnight; it took a long time and it was certainly well-earned. If you\u2019re still not believer, then you might want to take a look at the German tuner\u2019s latest Audi program for the RS5.\nThe RS5 is, by all accounts, the closest thing to a performance powerhouse Audi has aside from the R8. At the very least, the RS5 is the most extreme four-seat sports car Audi has in its cupboard. It\u2019s really the ideal car for ABT Sportsline, and the German tuner certainly didn\u2019t disappoint.\nABT Sportsline\u2019s new program for the RS5 is as comprehensive as it gets. It\u2019s got cosmetic tweaks, aerodynamic upgrades, and performance modifications. The German tuner even threw in a new set of \u201cblack magic\u201d wheels for good measure.\nNow I\u2019m not an authority in wheels, but something about that \u201cblack magic\u201d name makes for a more interesting, if not a little intimidating aftermarket program.

The new high-power electrical system is said to give engineers the ability to make sportier, more efficient, and more convenient cars.\n\u201cWe are using the full bandwidth of electrification in our drive principles strategy,\u201d says Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenbert, a Member of the Board of Management for Technical Development at Audi. \u201cRunning part of the vehicle electrical system at 48 volts plays a central role in this. It enables us to make more energy available.\u201d\nWe\u2019ve already seen two examples of Audi vehicles with the 48-volt system; the RS5 TDI and A6 TDI concepts. Both cars are fitted with an electrically powered compressor that gives extra boost to the engine, helping eliminate turbo lag. The compressor is a separate system than the engine, so there is no parasitic loss.\nBoosting power won\u2019t be the only benefit. Audi says the upgraded electrical system will help boost advancements in dynamic chassis control systems.\nThe 48-volt system will even work while the main engine is powered off. A small bank of lithium-ion batteries will supply the juice. A DC/DC converter then integrates the standard, 12-volt electrical system. What\u2019s more, the battery pack also works in conjunction with a new efficiency-optimized alternator, basically turning the vehicle into a mild hybrid system.\nAudi says the new system can save owners 0.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, or roughly 0.105 gallons over 62 miles.\nClick past the jump to read more about the Audi RS5 TDI Concept\nAudi Planning Diesel RS Models to go Along With the Potential R8 Diesel\nIt\u2019s been a good 2014 for Audi. The company is on pace to sell 1.6 million cars this year, a record-breaking number that has come closer and closer to threatening BMW\u2019s top sales numbers. But Audi isn\u2019t just settling for the sales title. It also wants to continue to be on the cutting edge of innovation, something Audi boss Rupert Stadler brushed on when he announced plans to launch RS-badged high-performance diesel models in the future, possibly as soon as the end of the decade.\nThe company is optimistic that it already has the applications to transition the technology from concept form into production. Remember, the RS5 TDI concept showed that it was possible to slap an e-turbo-diesel engine into an Audi without compromising the car\u2019s performance capabilities.\nStadler understands that the key in achieving that goal is to take a step-by-step process on piecing together the tools and technology needed to make it work on a production model.\nYou can count on Audi to always be at the forefront of innovation. The German automaker thrives on being in that position, and when you give it incentive to succeed, you can bet that it\u2019s going to pull out all the stops to make it happen.\nClick past the jump to read more about Audi\u2019s future diesel plans.\n2014 Audi RS5 Coupe by Senner Tuning\nJune 21, 2014 18:00 by Collin Woodard\nThe Audi A5 has always been handsome. Rather than being pretty, it has a more masculine look, like something that Jon Hamm would probably drive. The best way to make a great-looking car better is to give it more power, which Audi gladly did with the S5. More is never enough though, so Audi cranked the performance up even more on the RS5.\nFor some buyers, the RS5 was fine, but others still needed more performance. With no RS5 Plus in the pipeline, those owners are are forced to turn to tuning companies. One such company to offer a performance tune for the RS5 is Senner Tuning out of Germany. Offering more than a 50-horsepower bump over the stock RS5, as well as a suspension tune, a new exhaust, new wheels, and an appearance package, there\u2019s no mistaking the Senner Tuning RS5 something that\u2019s far from run-of-the-mill.\nClick past the jump to read more about the 2014 Audi RS5 Coupe by Senner Tuning.\nAudi RS5 TDI Concept\u2019s Technology Could be Put into Production\nAudi\u2019s brand-new electric turbodiesel engine, which was showcased in the RS5 TDI Concept last month, is set to become more than just an experiment. That\u2019s the word from Australian outlet Drive, which claims the drivetrain will hit the streets in the next-generation Q7 SUV. Needless to say, we are not surprised.\nThe said oil burner displaces 3.0 liters and features an all-new e-boost unit that provides maximum torque from just 1,250 rpm, until the regular turbo kicks in at 3,000 rpm. This technology eliminates turbo lag, and enables the diesel to perform better and respond quicker when the gas pedal hits the floor.\nThe concept version of the engine mounted in the RS5 TDI delivers 385 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. That\u2019s enough to push the coupe from naught to 62 mph in only four seconds and label it as the fastest six-cylinder diesel vehicle ever developed within the Volkswagen Group. We expect these numbers to change once the production engine finds its way into the Q7\u2019s bay, but the SUV should be quite the performer.\nClick past the jump to read more about this technology and the Audi RS5 TDI Concept.\n2014 Audi RS 5 TDI Concept\nIt\u2019s been 25 years since Audi launched its TDI engine, and the Germans are celebrating the milestone by introducing a diesel-powered Audi RS5. Just a concept vehicle for now, the RS5 had its regular V-8 engine replaced by an oil-burning 3.0-liter TDI that features the company\u2019s new electric turbo unit.\nWhat\u2019s so special about that, you may ask? Well, is appears that Audi somehow managed to enable its electric turbo to provide maximum torque from just 1,250 rpm. The unit basically ensures there\u2019s no turbo lag until the regular turbos kick in at 3,000 rpm, turning the RS5 TDI Concept into a major breakthrough.\nWith that pesky turbo lag out of the way, the diesel RS5 is quite a performer too, needing only four seconds to accelerate from naught to 62 mph. Of course, that wouldn\u2019t be possible without help from the 385 ponies and the 553 pound-feet of torque under the hood. Needless to say, the RS5 TDI is the fastest six-cylinder diesel vehicle ever developed within the Volkswagen Group.\nBut will this concept vehicle make it in to production to become the company\u2019s first diesel RS? Unfortunately, Audi has yet to make a statement on that, but we have a hunch this new electric turbo technology will become more than just an experiment. We wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see the RS5 TDI hop on the assembly line over the next couple of years, but, if that doesn\u2019t happen, the electric turbo will find its way into other production cars.\nClick past the jump to read more about the 2014 Audi RS 5 TDI Concept.\n2014 Audi RS5 Convertible By ABT Sportsline\nSummer is still more than a month away, but the folks over at ABT Sportsline are gearing up for the hot season with an equally hot convertible based on the 2014 Audi RS5.\nHowever, unlike the RS7 the company started offering last year with up to 700 horsepower on tap, the RS5 in question comes with no powertrain updates whatsoever. This means customers will have to settle for the 450 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque delivered by the 4.2-liter V-8 or look into other Abt Sportsline options.\nDon\u2019t be too disappointed though, having more than 500 horsepower in a convertible isn\u2019t always pleasant. And, truth be told, there are plenty of options out there wearing either BMW or Mercedes-Benz badges.\nAnyway, ABT\u2019s RS5 isn\u2019t exactly bone stock, as it comes fitted with a stainless-steel muffler system that includes both a mid and a rear muffler. The end result is a throatier and more aggressive V-8 exhaust note that will let everybody know this isn\u2019t a regular RS5. You can also opt to remove the speed limiter on your RS5 from ABT, bumping the top speed to 180 mph from the stock 174 mph.\nClick past the jump to read more about the Audi RS5 Convertible By ABT Sportsline.\nAlthough its domination at the 24 Hours of Le Mans already spans over 14 years, Audi has been struggling to win the manufacturers\u2019 title in the German-based DTM racing series for a couple of seasons now.\nAudi clinched the drivers\u2019 championship five times the past seven seasons, but since BMW returned to DTM in 2012, Ingolstadt has yet to triumph in the constructor\u2019s category. With the 2014 season opener just a month away, the Germans have unleashed the updated RS5 DTM racer that will take on both BMW and Mercedes-Benz.\nImproving an already-successful track car is not an easy task, especially given DTM\u2019s strict regulations, so Audi had to focus on redesigning the vehicle\u2019s aerodynamic package. In other words, it\u2019s all in the little details, especially those that are basically invisible from the outside.\nBut aside from these performance-enhancing updates, Audi also opted to add some production parts from the road-going 2014 RS5, such as the honeycomb front grille and air ducts for the engine and the braking system, to its DTM race car.\nClick past the jump to read more about the Audi RS5 DTM.\nMarch 28, 2014 08:00 by Christian Moe\nIt is a battle of the heavyweight German super coupes; the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG 507 against the Audi RS5. In this episode of Motor Trend\u2019s Head2Head, they take these two V-8-powered monsters and try to decide which is best. Will Audi\u2019s Quattro AWD help it pull ahead, or does that incredible engine in the AMG take top honors.\nI won\u2019t ruin anything for anybody, but we can look at some of the high points.\nJonny Lieberman takes the wheel to give these cars a thorough once-over and he comes to a lot of conclusions I agree with. Firstly, the Audi is the better looking car. Not in the crazy \u201cgo-fast\u201d way, but as a genuinely pretty car the Audi easily takes top honors.\nThe Mercedes may lose in style, but Jonny says it walks away with better braking and steering feel. It also doesn\u2019t suffer from the understeer that the Audi does.\nIt is quite the close battle; click play to see who comes out on top.\n2013 Audi RS5 by McChip-DKR\nThe Audi RS V-8 engine is a dreamboat. But is that stock Audi RS5\u2019s 4.2-liter V-8 engine with 450 enough to keep pace with twin-turbo BMW\u2019s and Mercedes-Benz super-coupes?\nMany auto-bahn drivers would agree that a car like this can do much better than what Audi is offering from factory.\nThe German tuner McChip-DKR decided the RS5 can be further improved and is offering a tuning kit for pretty much every taste out there. In fact the new kit is offered in three different stages, so you can get the RS5 to the power level you will like - or your wallet will allow.\nIn stage 1 the V-8\u2019s output was increased up to 550 horsepower, but if you need more you can also opt for a stage 3 of upgrades that will take the final output to an even cooler 600 horsepower. The only problem is that the kit is a little bit expensive and you can pay up to $36,500 for it.\nClick past the jump to read more about the Audi RS5 by McChip-DKR.\nAugust 27, 2013 18:00 by TB\nThe gifts just keep coming from Audi\u2019s quattro performance tuning division: stunning first official images of the brand-new 2014 RS5 Cabriolet, which will be coming to American Audi dealers later this fall.\nJoining the R8 and the new RS7, the RS5 Cabriolet brings enough horsepower and visual aggression to break glass with just one stare. Yes, the Audi\u2019s LEDs are not exactly the friendly smile worn by many cars in traffic. The metallic honeycomb grille is gigantic and looks capable of ingesting a whole family of birds at its 174 mph top speed.\nThe atmospheric V-8 produces 450 horsepower, with an optional sports exhaust and Black Optics package hiding the twin coffee-can oval exhaust outlets under the diffuser panel. These cans are so large that they define the lower rear graphic of the RS5, and look really incredible with the sharp bumper corners up top. Dark wheels bring standard steel discs with an interesting fluted edge design, but carbon ceramic brakes are available for ultimate autobahn stopping power.\nAny tradeoff versus the RS5 coupe yet? Wind in your hair, Audi\u2019s classic aluminum brightwork on the windshield surround, and a flat soft-top all seem better than the coupe. Seating for four is also possible in the RS5 Cab, which loses only 2 cubic-feet of luggage room with the top down.\nA $10,000 premium sees RS5 Cab base prices at $78,000, but the optional comfort seats with heat and ventilation look ideal for this beach bruiser, so budget about $85,000 in total for the Black Optics upgrades as well.\nClick past the jump for the full review of the 2014 Audi RS5 Cabriolet, the hottest four-seat Audi drop-top ever made.\nJune 20, 2013 19:00 by TB\nThe all-conquering Audi RS5 storms into 2014 with a few detail tweaks that enhance what is already the most extreme four-seat performance car the brand makes. The car packs some changes to the honeycomb grille\u2019s color options and a handful of other refinements like redesigned LED optics out back and adaptive cruise inside.\nThe RS5 is so hardcore macho that it makes the R8 4.2 seem like a posh cruiser. The engine literally thunder-claps up its rev range in seconds with a bassy baritone from the front and a bellowing growl from the giant exhaust out back.\nAudi\u2019s two layers of performance upgrades mean that RS5 can be laser focused on delivering crushing acceleration and track performance at the expense of touring comfort. The increase in drama from the Audi S5 to the RS5 is akin to the C63 AMG versus the C63 AMG Black Series.\nNext summer\u2019s new M4 coupe will likely pack all the visual drama and matte paint options of the latest M6 GranCoupe and possibly even run a tri-turbo six-cylinder engine design for the first time. So, the RS6 may find itself fending off a new competitor in about a year\u2019s time.\nClick past the jump for the full review of the 2014 Audi RS5 coupe with highlights on cool performance options and the new-for-2014 features.\nBack when Audi was planning the RS5, they promised us a convertible model. Now that the RS5 is alive, well, and leading the British cops on its fastest chase ever, we are anxiously awaiting the RS5 Cabriolet. While there is some time to wait, Audi is at least gracing us with all of the RS5 Cabriolet\u2019s ins and outs.\nAs you can expect, the Cabriolet takes most of its queues from the hardtop model, but is does have its own little styling differences \u2013 besides the rag top, of course. With fierce competition coming from BMW and Mercedes, how well can this newcomer in the performance convertible realm really do? We\u2019re going to into all of the specifications and features that Audi has graced us with and give you a full review of what to expect from this new model.\nUPDATE 06/05/2013: Audi unveiled a new video showing the RS5 Cabriolet in action through the impressive landscape of Mallorca.

OSS proved as much with this bodykit that will clearly attract some serious attention from owners of the Audi sports car.\nHeck, if we had one of our own, we wouldn\u2019t mind getting this kit installed on it.\nClick past the jump to read more about OSS Design\u2019s program for the Audi RS5\nAudi unveiled its DTM race car for the 2013 racing season \u2014 the new RS 5 DTM \u2014 at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. There will be eight different RS 5 DTMs entering the 2013 DTM and the driver lineup will include Jamie Green (Great Britain) and two-time DTM Champion Mattias Ekstr\u00f6m (Sweden).\nThe new DTM racecar was developed in accordance with the regulations announced by DTM officials for the 2013 racing season. Still, the DTM version offers pretty much the same performance data as the current RS5: a 4.2 liter V8 engine delivering a total of 450 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 317.15 pound-feet available between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm.\nUnlike the production version, however, the DTM version will feature a pretty aggressive aerodynamic kit, updated front and rear suspension with double wishbones, and a hydraulic dual-circuit brake system.\nThe new Audi RS5 DTM will make its racing debut between April 26th and 29th at Barcelona, Spain and from April 9th to 12th at Hockenheim.\nThe RS version of the new Audi A5 is one car that definitely needs no upgrades, but German tuner, ABT Sportsline, chose to do it anyways. The tuner will unveil its RS5-R tuning kit, which will upgrade both the look and the engine output of the RS5, at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.\nFor the exterior, ABT prepared an aerodynamic kit that includes a new front apron, front splitter, side skirts and rear wing - all made in carbon fiber. The car sits on a set of 20-inch alloy wheels combined with high-performance tires. For the interior, ABT combined the highest quality black and red Alcantara with carbon-fiber insertions on the door panels. The bucket seats received racing stripes and for increased safety a stainless-steel roll cage and four-point seat belts.\nThe best upgrades were made under the hood where the tuner combined the V-8 engine with a new exhaust system with lateral dual pipes. As a result, the standard 450 horsepower output has been increased by 20 horsepower and the 0-to-60 mph sprint is now made in 4.6 seconds - 0.3 seconds quicker than standard version.\nAudi Presents its Heart Concept to its Valentines\nWe know that for Valentine\u2019s Day \u2013 yes, guys, today is the big \u201cV-day\u201d \u2013 you usually give your loved one candy or flowers, but what if your loved one is a real Audi fanatic? You can easily imagine that for someone like this, candy or flowers won\u2019t do the trick, so, what\u2019s the solution then?\nWell, Audi has offered up its own gift for its Valentines and we have to admit, it looks a little bit creepy, but for some people this might be the perfect gift. We are talking about a very cool artwork: the Audi Heart concept. It is the heart of an Audi RS5 that has been reorganized to create ventricles, valves, pumps and an aorta.\nIn the Audi RS5, the V8 engine develops a total of 450 horsepower and a peak torque of 317 pound-feet. We hope that all of you Audiphiles receive this wonderful Valentine in your Valentine\u2019s Day box today!\n2014 Audi RS5 Cabrio is Heading to \"Rock City\"\nJanuary 4, 2013 07:00 by Justin Cupler\nWe pretty much know all that there is to know about the upcoming Audi RS5 Cabrio. We already know that it\u2019s debuting in Germany in early-2013 and coming to the U.S. sometime later in the same year. However, we still have yet to see the actual car. Sure, renderings are great, but we want to see, feel and sniff this beauty for a few minutes.\nWell, we\u2019ll all get our chance at the 2013 North American International Auto Show this month, as the RS5 Cabrio will make its debut there. We also were not 100-percent certain if the RS5 Cabrio would be a 2013 model or a 2014 model here in The States, but from what we\u2019re hearing, it will be a 2014 model year. Of course, it will remain a 2013 model year in the European market, as it is well before the cutoff.\nIn case you need a refresher course, the 2014 RS5 Cabrio will carry a 4,163 cc V-8 engine that wallops the concrete with 450 horsepower and 317.15 pound-feet of torque. This is enough power to launch the RS5 Cabrio to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.9 seconds. Audi will limit its top speed at 155.34 mph, but you can request to have the limiter removed if you prefer 173.98 mph winds blowing through your hair.\nWe\u2019ll update you with all of the real-life images of the RS5 Cabrio once Audi unveils it.\nVideo: Audi RS5 Cabrio to be unveiled on September 6th\nAfter testing it for quite some time now, Audi will be unveiling the new RS5 Cabrio at the end of September at the Paris Auto Show, but the first details on the car will be dropped on September 6th.\nJust like with the coupe version, the RS5 Cabrio will be powered by a 4.2 liter V8 engine with an output of 450 HP and a peak torque of 317.15 lb-ft available between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. The engine will be combined with Audi\u2019s seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch transmission and quattro all-wheel drive system. This powerful engine will be combined with an improved suspension, more powerful brakes and a revised steering system.\n\"For over 15 years, Audi RS models have represented the dynamic vanguard of the Audi model lineup. RS fascination lives on in the new Audi RS 5 Cabriolet \u2013 the perfect combination of power and elegance.\"\nAudi RS5 Leads Police on Fastest British Chase\nCriminals are all too often not the brightest bulbs in the pack and this usually results in them using something like a 1989 Dodge Shadow as their getaway car. Well, not to compliment a robber, but this UK thief took planning to a whole new level and stole himself a real getaway ride, a 450-horsepower Audi RS5.\nAfter his 16th robbery of a UK business, he took off in the RS5 and the police could hardly keep up \u2013 seeing the cars they drive, it is no surprise. The dude even outran a helicopter. It wasn\u2019t until he decided to make a stopover at a local apartment complex that he was tracked down and busted.\nThe police estimated that he was doing upwards of 180 mph during the chase and by the looks of the helicopter camera, his tires gave way at some point and he was shooting sparks from the rims \u2013 a tribute to that wonderful Quattro AWD system, if I may add.\nRS5 as seen by the police chopper infrared camera - shooting heat from exhaust and wheels\nIn all, this 65-mile run from the cops in a stolen Audi beast \u2013 and the multiple robberies \u2013 landed this thief in jail for nine years. A rather light sentence for all of those crimes and an extremely fast police chase. We guess they do things a little differently in the UK.\nAnyways, check out the above video to see all of the craziness. You\u2019ll notice that the cameras are pretty choppy in the beginning, but the chase section is nice and smooth.\n2012 Audi RS5 Pikes Peak\nThis year\u2019s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is finally just around the corner after being canceled because of the Waldo Canyon wildfire in Colorado Springs. With the race taking place in the next week - August 12th to be exact - Audi is now announcing their presence at the climb with a teaser image of their competition vehicle, the RS5.\nAll we have for now is this teaser image revealed by Audi on their Facebook page, but details surrounding the racer should be revealed next week when it begins its ascent. Audi previously announced that Walter Rohl would return to Pikes Peak as the driver of the the original Sport Quattro S1 he raced to victory a quarter of a century ago. They even released a video of the car\u2019s preparations, meaning Audi could have two vehicles competing.\nMore details on this Audi RS5 Pikes Peak will be unveiled next week, so stay tuned!\nUPDATE 08/10/2012: After delivering the first teaser image the other day, Audi has now unveiled the first official images of the RS5 which will climb Pikes Peak next week. These images also come with the announcement that Audi will team up with Ducati at Pikes Peak to celebrate their common heritage at this iconic mountain.\nToday is Power Convertible Day at the N\u00fcrburgring. Earlier, we introduced spy shots of the upcoming Lexus IS-F Convertible, and now we have another set of photos, this time of the Audi RS5 Convertible during its own testing on the \u2019Ring.\nThe strange thing is that - unlike the previous prototypes caught testing - this vehicle is wearing heavy camouflage leading us to believe that there will be some minor tweaks on the exterior which Audi wants to keep a secret.\nJust like the coupe version, the RS5 Convertible will be powered by a 4.2 liter V8 engine delivering a total of 450 HP at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 317.15 lb-ft available between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be made in 4.7 - 4.8 seconds - because the convertible version will be bit heavier when compared to the coupe, but top speed will still come limited to 155 mph.\nExpect to see the new Audi RS5 Convertible launched by the end of the year.\n2012 Audi RS5 Superstars Series Race Car\nAudi\u2019s auto racing influence is felt in a number of racing series all over the world. And while they don\u2019t count themselves as part of the Formula One grid, the German automaker\u2019s presence in the touring car series is unmistakable.\nFor the 2012 season, Audi is bringing a pretty snazzy race-tuned sports car to Italy\u2019s version of touring car racing, called the Superstars Series. Similar to the UK\u2019s British Touring Car Championship, the Superstars Series is made up of a grid that features a plethora of automakers, Audi being one of them.\nLooking to return to past glory that saw them cop the 2007 Driver\u2019s title and the 2008 Drivers and Constructors titles, Audi will be bringing a race-tuned model of the Audi RS5 back to the series. This model has been carefully fitted with an aggressive aerodynamic body - the intimidating grilles are a sight to behold - and a V8-powered engine that produces a mighty 450 horsepower.\nAll in all, three RS5 models will comprise the 2012 Superstars Series grid, including one from German tuner MTM, one from Audi Sport Italia, and one from Swedish team KMS.\nThe Audi RS5 is headed to the US market, that much we already know, but in order to prepare it for its trip, Audi has decided to give it a little refresher. The 2012 Audi RS5 will be headed to our side of the pond with a few exterior modifications and an updated interior, but power will still come from the sports coupe\u2019s V8 engine.\nThe facelift isn\u2019t all that surprising considering the RS5\u2019s slower brethren - the Audi A5 - received its own little modifications for the 2012 model year.\nThe facelifted RS5 has received several new, sharp accents to clean up its look, although at first glance, these changes may not be so obvious. The two that stand out the most are the new single-frame grille with beveled upper corners and standard xenon plus headlights with a more modern shape, framed by narrow strips of LED daytime running lights. Inside the RS5, Audi has dropped in race-style front seats.\nThe bells and whistles of the exterior and interior just about cover the minor facelift provided for the RS5. In terms of power, the sports coupe will be enjoying the fruits of the standard 4.2 liter V8 engine\u2019s labor, delivering a total of 450 HP at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 317.15 lb-ft available between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be made in 4.6 seconds, while top speed can be increased to 174 mph, upon request.\nUPDATE 07/19/2012: Audi has just released US pricing for the RS5. Customers will be able to snag this sports coupe for $69,795, including an $895 destination charge.\nUPDATE 09/12/2012: Audi America did one o the most craziest things we have seen in the past few years: they took a RS5 Coupe to \"Snake River Canyon\" for a very crazy experience.

Directed by filmmaker Daniel Michealis and produced by Alexander Sperr, it takes us on a five-minute, high-octane action featuring two hot ladies racing the RS5 and the M3 on the background of some picturesque, \"postcard-worthy\" locale while also burning some serious rubber on the road. Mix that with the always-enchanting sounds of a classical orchestra playing in the background and it just drives up the adrenaline to a whole new level.\nWorking with Michaelis and Sperr to create this video are the boys over at Format67.net and Reiger Tuning, who, incidentally, had a hand in tuning both the RS5 and the M3.\nWe\u2019ll spare you the suspense now. Just go ahead and press play and enjoy the best five-minute wake-up call you\u2019ve had in a while.\nAfter first seeing patent drawings of the upcoming Audi RS5 Convertible, the car has finally been caught testing around the N\u00fcrburgring race track. The spy images reveal a bigger front spoiler,bigger brakes and wider fenders. At the back, however, it\u2019s still S5 business as usual, with narrower rear fenders and S-type quad exhaust pipes. The model will also get new LED lights, a larger diffuser, and a rear spoiler that extends automatically at 74.56 mph.\nAs with the coupe version, the convertible version will use a standard 4.2 liter V8 engine with a total of 450 HP at 8,250 rpm and a peak torque of 317.15 lb-ft available between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph will be made in 4.6 seconds, while top speed will be limited to 155 mph. The top speed can be increased to more than 170 mph upon request.\n2011 Audi RS5 Coupe Limited Edition\nAudi is dishing up a couple of special editions for the Australian market. First it was the Audi R8 Carbon Edition, and now they have released the new RS 5 Limited Edition, based off the RS5 Coupe. The Limited Edition will be built in only 25 units and will be available in Ibis White, Phantom Black, or Suzuka Grey.\nThe RS 5 Limited Edition will be distinguished by a black exterior styling package, 20\" 5-arm Rotor design wheels with a titanium finish, a sports exhaust system to heighten the V8 symphony, and a panoramic glass sunroof, Inside, the RS5 gets a Bang & Olufsen surround sound system, a driver\u2019s seat with memory function, folding/auto dimming exterior mirrors, and bucket seats.\nThe new Audi RS5 Limited Edition will still be powered by the usual 450 HP 4.2 L V8 engine combined with Audi\u2019s quattro all-wheel drive system and 7-speed S tronic transmission. New to the power setup will be Audi\u2019s Sport Suspension Plus and Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) that uses variable shock absorbers to reduce all pitch and yaw movements purely mechanically and without any lag, thus lifting handling dynamics to an even higher level.\nAudi plans to bring more RS models to USA\nThe Audi TT-RS is a very successful model on the European market, hence the reason why US customers signed a petition to get that bad boy over to our side of the pond. Now, we have our American version which comes with a $56,850 price tag, but the RS story doesn\u2019t look like it will be ending there.\nAudi has announced that the TT-RS is just one of the RS models they plan to bring to the USA. Following the more powerful TT, the US will be getting the RS5, which will then lead to a few more other RS models - the RS6 being the most logical next step.\n\"We\u2019re now taking the first steps with the TT RS and the RS 5,\" Audi sales head Peter Schwarzenbauer told Bloomberg. \"I could indeed imagine that we\u2019ll continue along that route in the future.\"\nHit the jump for details on the Audi TT-RS American and the Audi RS5.\nTopSpeed\u2019s Best of 2010: Coupe of the Year\nThis year the war in the coupe segment was fought between the Mustang and the Camaro, at least in terms of news segments. The muscle car wars took held the strings that controlled the news puppet, but was that enough to name one of them Coupe of the Year?\nWe\u2019re not telling as of yet, but we can say that we had many things to consider when narrowing down our list for the best coupe of 2010. Audi, for instance, brought the R8 GT and the RS5, while Cadillac unveiled the CTS-V Coupe. All of these choices made our top five, so the war ensues between German and American coupe models. We made our decision based on design, performance, price and on how the new model was received. It was a hard decision, but we think we made the right one.\nHit the jump to see who won the title of the Best Coupe of 2010.\n2011 Audi RS5 by Senner\nA standardAudi RS5 is powered by a turbocharged V8 engine with a total output of 450 HP at 8250 rpm and 317 lb-ft of torque between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm. That\u2019s quite impressive for a luxury sports coupe, but apparently not impressive enough for German tuner, Senner, who believed that the car could do much better than that.\nSo, with a new valve-controlled stainless steel exhaust system and adjusted zero-pressure monitoring, the output has been increased to 506 HP and 478 NM of torque. With these new numbers the RS5 will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, while top speed has been increased to 173 mph.\nNext to the engine upgrade, the tuner is also offering a new Bilstein coilover kit, called the B16 PSS10, that allows for 10-stage adjustable damping, shiny black 245 carbon fabric, additional front grille, and window frames in the Black Edition. The package is finished by a new set of 20\" wheels painted in diamond black polish.\nH&R Slams the Audi RS5 and BMW 5 Touring\nOctober 7, 2010 20:00 by Ashfaaq\nSuspension gurus H&R have released their lowering kits for the Audi RS5 and BMW 5 series touring models.\nAs newer model cars are launched, research and development in the area of aftermarket parts needs to keep up with newly implemented technology, more so in the luxury segment. The design engineers at H&R have worked tirelessly to ensure the new suspension products work, in certain applications, better than their OEM counterparts.\nBarely a hundred of these road rockets have been delivered worldwide and already there are a plethora of aftermarket parts available. The latest of which is a new suspension kit from H&R that lowers the stance and stiffens the body of the menacing RS5. The kit comprises of new, thicker anti-roll bars and lowering springs in either 15 or 25 millimeters - depending on your preference. For serious drivers, they have also developed a fully adjustable coilover system, although if fitted will negate the fancy factory electronic setup.\nABT Brings the Noise to the Audi TTRS & RS5\nWorld renown VAG tuner, ABT Sportline, has released an all-new performance exhaust for the Audi TTRS and RS5 models.\nAnyone who drives an extremely sporty car of the caliber of an Audi RS5 or Audi TT-RS likes acoustics which suit the performance potential of their racer. Owners of premium cars from Ingolstadt expect a sound that represents the power of the car without being too loud, and is also produced in the best possible quality.\nFor the RS5 and TT-RS, ABT Sportsline has developed an exhaust system which meets the high demands of their customers: the sound is a lot more powerful and striking over all speed ranges and seems even more dynamic. At the same time it complies with the legally prescribed maximum noise levels. The good acoustics which will amaze fans of sporty vehicles suit both the RS racing sound and everyday driving. Thanks to the high-quality stainless steel technology the exhaust system is extremely robust and durable \u2013 an investment in a long car life full of driving enjoyment.\nThe new exhaust system from ABT Sportsline consists of middle and rear mufflers, which run from the catalytic converter to the rear of the vehicle. With this placement, the system fits perfectly with the Audi design as the standard appearance is retained. The result is simple; the unmistakable RS look plus a powerful ABT sound and performance gain that allow the special set-up to be ideal for everyday use.\nABT Sportline RS5 Exhaust sound\n2010 Audi RS5 by SKN Tuning\nAs we are all patiently waiting for the Audi RS5 to head on over to the US, tuners are already giving us the goods to want the RS5 even more. The Audi RS5\u2019s V8 engine already develops a total of 450 HP, but the tuners from SKN didn\u2019t seem to think that was enough for the little sports coupe. They managed to increase the power to an amazing 500 HP by adding a SKN Power Tuning Stage 2 and a Milltek stainless steel exhaust system \"Hockenheim Edition\" with throttle control, including motor sports Cat/Cat replacement pipe.\nNot only did they recalibrate the ECU unit, but the tuners from SKN are also offering a SKN optimized BILSTEIN PSS10 suspension system that is teamed up with 20-inch BBS CH-R wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires. The tuner is also offering Light Alloy Wheel Spacers.\nHowever, despite the power increase, the tuner revealed nothing about the car\u2019s new performance numbers. We know the standard Audi RS5 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and has a top speed that is limited to 155 mph, but can be increased to 173 mph. We can only expect that the SKN RS5 will receive even better numbers.\nVideo and press release after the jump.\nAudi RS5 by MTM\nGerman tuner, MTM, knows a thing or two about tuning up an Audi. One of their last projects was theAudi RS6 Clubsport which was an ugly car, but ended up having a sick power boost to the tune of 730hp. Not bad for a car that looked like a cab. Now, MTM is at it again, albeit on a much smaller scale. Their newest project is the Audi RS5 and, though MTM did not increase the 450hp found under the hood, they did adjust it a little to make the car much cooler.\nUsing a modified MTM motronic computer, MTM is able to ensure that the speed limited is removed from the Audi. The RS5 can now hit a top speed of 188mph compared to the standard 155mph. This upgrade program will cost the consumer 1,499 EUR. Put some extra cash down and the German tuners will add a new exhaust system with throttle valves and two end pipes. The added package also brings Bimoto rims in a 19\u201d or 20\u201d style available in two colors, 20mm spacers, and a TV set. An F cantronic air suspension system will become available soon.\nCars / Audi / Audi RS5",

        "raw_content": "Caribbean Corals Heading Towards Extinction?\nCorals just can't seem to get a break these days. Another study has found that Caribbean coral species are slowly but steadily dying off, with dramatic potential implications for the region's ecosystem stability and structure. Ten percent of the 62 reef-building corals, including the elkhorn and staghorn corals which were once some of the Caribbean's most numerous species, are now under grave threat and likely to be listed as Critically Endangered on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources' (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species within the coming year.\nMichael L. Smith, the director of the Caribbean Biodiversity Initiative at Conservation International, said that, \"One of the Atlantic Ocean's most beautiful marine habitats no longer exists in many places because of dramatic increases in coral diseases, mostly caused by climate change and warmer waters.\"As the first in a series of Global Marine Species Assessments (GMSA) of key marine primary-producers, a group of scientists analyzed data on Western Tropical Atlantic corals, seagrasses, mangroves and algae earlier this year. Suzanne Livingstone, the GMSA programs officer, expects the species studied during the workshop to be added onto the 2008 IUCN Red List after a final review.\n\"Coral reefs support some of the richest areas of biodiversity in the world. When the coral reefs disappear, so will many other species which rely on reefs for shelter, reproduction and foraging,\" she said.\nHaving undergone one of the longest periods of human development sine the colonization of the Americas, the Caribbean corals were particularly hard hit by anthropogenic disturbances such as increased sedimentation in run-off water, over-fishing and coastal pollution. In addition, the combined effect of several natural disturbances including disease, hurricanes and bleaching, has further weakened the remaining stocks.\nAlthough corals have certainly gotten the shorter end of the stick, mangroves have also been devastated by global warming and human development with some estimates placing mangrove cover loss in the region around 42% over the past 25 years. Forests are increasingly being cut down to accomodate further residential and aquaculture development throughout the region. Two out of the eight species are now listed as \"Vulnerable to Extinction\" while two others are in \"Near Threatened\" status.\nAaron Ellison, a professor at Harvard University, explained that \"Mangroves protect shorelines, shelter fish, and filter pollution. The Caribbean was blessed with an abundance of these useful plants, but the consensus of this workshop is that mangroves are in trouble everywhere and need to be protected and restored.\"\nCiting the examples of several healthy coral reefs living in marine protected areas (MPAs) scattered around the area, such as the Bonaire Marine Park in the Netherlands Antilles, the scientists urged immediate action to protect these remaining vestiges of Caribbean natural beauty. \"Concentrated marine conservation and a global effort to halt man-induced climate change are necessary to preserve this vital economic engine in the region,\" said Kent Carpenter, GMSA director.\nVia ::Caribbean Corals In Danger Of Extinction: Climate Change, Warmer Waters Cited As Leading Cause\nSee also: ::With a Little Help from Their Friends..., ::Corals Engage in Fisticuffs with Global Warming, ::Hot Spot Sight-Seeing, ::The OK Coral Corral\nCorals just can't seem to get a break these days.

It\u2019s three-and-a-half months now, so (neither) the doctors nor myself felt I\u2019d be this far at this stage. There\u2019s still a long way to go \u2026 but it\u2019s way better than when I was in the hospital. I\u2019ve made progress, and I have peace of mind because of that.\u201d\nZakuani said he has no doubt that he will be ready for the start of next season.\nBeyond that, he is willing to take as many steps as necessary at whatever pace is needed to recover.\n\u201c(The injury) happened on a Friday, so every Friday we sit down and say, \u2018OK, what could we do this week that we couldn\u2019t do last Friday, and what can we try to do next week that we can\u2019t do this week,\u2019 \u201d Zakuani said.\nHe added that his recovery has been aided by the support he has received from Sounders fans.\n\u201cIt\u2019s strange that this had to happen for me to realize how much the fans mean to me,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026 I have four boxes of unopened letters in my house because I just can\u2019t go through them all yet, and I want to read each letter carefully because people took their time to reach out to me. I think the fans have made it so easy. They\u2019ve been great, saying, \u2018We can\u2019t wait to have you back,\u2019 and this and that. It\u2019s just every day something new. That definitely motivates me and gives me strength.\u201d\nMeanwhile, No. 2 goalkeeper Terry Boss returned to full training this week for the first time since suffering a concussion in the July 20 friendly against Manchester United.\nThat was Boss\u2019 third concussion over the past two seasons, so the medical staff was especially careful about clearing his return.\n\u201cConcussions are scary,\u201d Boss said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those gray areas when you get hit in the head, like: Was that a concussion? Was it not? But with this last concussion when I got hit I was instantly disoriented and felt like I was on a tilt \u2026\u201d\nBoss allowed six second-half goals in the Red Devils\u2019 7-0 pounding of the Sounders. However, he said he doesn\u2019t think his injury played a part in the onslaught.\n\u201cI\u2019ve watched the game film 100 times, and whether I had a concussion or not, we were put in some pretty bad spots and against (one of the best teams in the world). I don\u2019t think the concussion contributed in any way, shape or form to a goal that was given up.\u201d\nAlso, defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado (knee), forward O\u2019Brian White (leg) and midfielder Brad Evans (hamstring) all have returned to training.\nSounders coach Sigi Schmid said Hurtado and White could play Saturday when Chivas USA visits, while Evans likely won\u2019t return until the CONCACAF Champions League match Tuesday against Comunicaciones of Guatemala.\nDon Ruiz, 253-597-8808 don.ruiz@thenewstribune.com twitter/donruiztnt blog.thenewstribune.com/soccer",

Enjoy a scenic flight into the Okavavgo delta and take a traditional canoe ride (makoro) through the watery wilderness of the Okavango. See large populations of migratory elephants while enjoying a river cruise and marvel at the splendour of the Zambezi's mighty Victoria Falls\nDay 1- Overnight: Strand Hotel Swakopmund\nWith its extensive, unique and creatively entertaining Restaurants, Bars, Deli, Lobby-Lounge, Sea Facing Terraces, Beach Kiosk and state of the art Conference & Banqueting Center, all set on the Mole, a historic and iconic site surrounded by Ocean on three sides, the Strand Hotel Swakopmund is a social epicenter and destination in itself for all visitors to and residents of Swakopmund. Its architectural inspiration finds its roots deep in Namibian German history and reflects this in a tasteful contemporary manner. The interiors are residential in nature, and the brief to all designers involved was to create a non-hotel, hotel. One as charming and welcoming as the town it is located in. Simply very warm and comfortable, and as they say in German: \u201cgem\u00fctlich\u201d providing a genuine \u201csense-of-place\u201d atmosphere adding to any Namibian visit. Arriving at the Strand is a dramatic experience as one passes through its 13m high and 9m wide Ocean View Atrium which travels right through the Hotel offering sea views at either end. Off this Atrium Lobby is Reception, consisting of three individual desks and an inviting open fireplace which rounds off the residential feel and warm welcome.\nDay 2 - Overnight: Spitzkoppe Lodge\nSpitzkoppe Lodge offers travellers the opportunity to visit the spectacular Spitzkoppe Mountains. Located between Usakos and Swakopmund, the Spitzkoppe Mountains are sometimes referred to as the \u201cMatterhorn of Namibia\u201d. This new lodge will offer walkers, stargazers and geologists access to this remote and less often visited part of Namibia. It will is made up of 15 en-suite chalets, each with stunning views over the surrounding gravel plains, the inselbergs of the Spitzkoppe and the Brandberg massive in the distance. The main areas include a lounge, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a pool, sundowner deck and bar, from which they say makes the most of the stunning views. Spitzkoppe Lodge offers guests the opportunity to explore the area on foot along several hiking trails ranging in length from four and a half hours to eight hours plus. On these trails you can expect to see some of the areas varied birdlife ranging from bustards to falcons and much in between.\nDay 3 - Overnight: Himba Cultural Excursions\nDamaraland and the Kaokoveld, as well as southern parts or Angola, are home to the Himba, one of the last truly traditional tribes on the planet. These friendly people are closely related to the Herero and lead a semi-nomadic life as herdsmen, breeding mainly cattle and goats. The community living among the majestic Makalani palms at Palmfontein invites visitors to learn more about their proud and ancient lifestyle and traditions. Visitors will be able to see their cone-shaped homestead made from palm leaves, mud and cattle dung and learn more about their unique customs and techniques. Due to the nomadic lifestyle of the Himba, the trip is not offered all year round.\nDay 4 - Overnight: Etosha Pan\nAeons ago, Etosha Pan was the bed of a vast lake; today what remains is a glittering, silvery-green salt pan that stretches across roughly 5000 square kilometres. Etosha is protected by the Etosha Pan National Park surrounded by savannah plains and woodlands supporting large herds of elephants. When dry, the pan sustains little life except for the algae that gives it its distinctive colour, and migratory birds that use it as a pit stop, but with heavy rain it becomes a shallow lake where flamingos breed, pelicans wade and feed, and a variety of mammal species come to quench their thirst, including leopards, lions, white rhinos, hunting dogs and antelopes.\nDay 5 - Overnight: Klein Windhoek Guest House\nDay 6 - Overnight: Kalahari Arms Hotel\nKalahari Arms Hotel is situated within Ghanzi on the Trans-Kalahari Route to Maun. The hotel provides various accommodation options for those seeking a bed and breakfast or a camping set up.

The Camp has two room types, chalets near the reed beds of the river, and larger 'tree houses' built on stilts. Game drives and boat trips are on offer. Come capture the spirit of the African bush while sipping sundowners from the beautiful overhead deck and experience the thrill of the tiger fish and the hauntingly beautiful call of the African fish eagle\nDay 10/11 - Overnight: Chobe Game Lodge\nCounter-balancing the wilderness are restful, air conditioned, en-suite lodgings. Graceful high arches, quarry tiled floors and barrel vaulted ceilings create an atmosphere of cool tranquillity. Other facilities include a large swimming pool with terrace, a riverside boma area, a stylish bar with an outside terrace, an expansive deck offering magnificent views over the Chobe River as well as conference facilities for business travellers. All meals are catered for in various locations throughout the lodge including the terrace, boma and riverfront deck.

All 46 rooms are tastefully furnished, each room with hand crafted Rhodesian teak furniture and walls decorated with original African carvings and paintings.\nDay 12/13 - Overnight: Victoria Falls Hotel\nThe Victoria Falls Hotel, popularly known as \u201cthe grand old lady of the Falls\u201d, is situated in the Victoria Falls National Park, and is a member of the exclusive Leading Hotels of the World group. It is one of only three IS0-accredited hotels in Zimbabwe. The Edwardian-style five-star hotel combines the charm of the old with the convenience of the new. Set in lush tropical gardens with lily ponds, palm trees and semi-tropical shrubs, it provides the tranquillity and seclusion that many guests seek. The famous Victoria Falls are just a ten-minute walk away using the hotel\u2019s private pathway, and \u201cthe smoke that thunders\u201d or \u201cMosi-O-Tunya\u201d in the local dialect, is clearly audible and visible from this luxurious landmark.\nDay 14 Client depart back to the airport\n1x Qualified professional driver/guide\nAll meals not specified in the itinerary\nThe Spitzkoppe (also referred to as Spitzkop, Groot Spitzkop, or the \"Matterhorn of Namibia\"), is a group of bald granite peaks located between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib desert. The granite is more than 700 million years old and the highest outcrop rises about 1 784 m above sea level. The peaks stand out dramatically from the flat surrounding plains. The highest peak is about 700m above the floor of the desert below. A minor peak- the Little Spitzkoppe - lies nearby at an elevation of 1 584 m above sea level. Other prominences stretch out into a range known as the Pontok Mountains. Many examples of Bushman artwork can be seen painted on the rock in the Spitzkoppe area.\nIt is possible that the main peak was summited as early as 1904, when a soldier of the Royal Schutztruppe supposedly soloed the peak and made a fire on the summit. What he may have burned remains a mystery, as there is absolutely no natural fuel of any kind on the upper parts of the peak. The legend suggests that he never returned and that his body was never recovered. Certainly, no proof of his conquest is available today.",

St. Vincent remains so pristine that its coastline provided an authentic colonial backdrop for filming \u201cPirates of the Caribbean.\u201d And hey, if it\u2019s good enough for Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger, who has a house on Mustique in the Grenadines, you\u2019ll probably be happy here, too.\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Basic Travel Information\nLocation: Between the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, north of Trinidad and Tobago\nSize: 150 square miles total; Saint Vincent is 133 square miles. See Map\nReligions: Anglican, Methodist, and Roman Catholic\nCurrency: Eastern Caribbean dollar, which is fixed to the U.S. dollar\nTipping: 10 to 15 percent\nWeather: The average yearly temperature is 81 degrees. Hurricane season is from June to November.\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Flag\nAirport: E. T. Joshua Airport (Check Flights)\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Tourism Board\nCIA World Factbook: St. Vincent and the Grenadines\nState Department Consular Info Sheet: St. Vincent and the Grenadines\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Activities and Attractions\nMany visitors come to St. Vincent for the superb sailing around the Grenadines, a 40-mile-long string of tiny islands, their white sands punctuating the turquoise blue of the surrounding ocean. Whether you have your own yacht or are just taking the local ferry, you can sail from island to island, alighting on places like Bequia and there to explore. On St. Vincent, take in the lush natural surroundings while hiking to active volcano La Soufri\u00e8re, through the rainforest, or to one of the island\u2019s spectacular waterfalls, Trinity Falls and the Falls of Baleine.\nKingston\u2019s botanic gardens are also worth a visit.\nExplore the Islands of the Grenadines\nTop St. Vincent and the Grenadines Activities and Attractions\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Beaches\nOne of the most popular swimming beaches on St. Vincent is Villa Beach, but it can get quite crowded. Beaches such as Argyle and Black Point on the windward, or eastern, side of the island have beautiful black sand, but because of rough water they are better for picnics than for swimming. In the Grenadines, Canouan is ringed by soft, white sand beaches and blue lagoons that are great for diving and snorkeling. On Bequia, top spots are Friendship Bay, Princess Margaret Beach and Lower Bay. Finally, Mustique is almost as famous for its wonderful white-sand beaches as for its celebrity visitors.\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Hotels and Resorts\nOther than the Young Island resort, which occupies a small island off the coast, and the new Buccament Bay Resort, St. Vincent\u2019s accommodation options are fairly low-key. One well-priced option is the New Montrose Hotel (Book Now), which has two-bedroom family apartments that come with kitchenettes. If you want luxury, head to the Grenadines, where you\u2019ll find some truly jaw-dropping resorts. Some of these, like Petit St. Vincent resort and Palm Island, are the only option on the islands they occupy, while the Cotton House on Mustique is one of most elegant and exclusive hotels in the Caribbean.\nMore info on St. Vincent and the Grenadines Hotels and Resorts\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Private Island Resorts\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Restaurants and Cuisine\nWhile many visitors to St. Vincent choose to take at least a few of their meals at their hotel, you can seek out some good local spots along the Villa and Indian Bay beach strip. Even if you\u2019re not staying at Young Island, a meal here makes for a supremely romantic evening. On Mustique, try the simple, classic seafood dishes at Basil\u2019s Beach Bar, where there's always a chance of rubbing shoulders with royalty or rock stars.\nMore Info on St. Vincent and the Grenadines Restaurants\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Culture and History\nResistance by the Carib Indians prevented the colonization of St. Vincent until 1719. France and the United Kingdom fought over the island until it was ceded to the British in 1783. Autonomy was granted in 1969 and independence in 1979. Music and festivals throughout the Grenadines are informed by Carib and West African culture.\nMore Info on St. Vincent and the Grenadines Culture and History\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Events and Festivals\nSome of the big events on St. Vincent include Fisherman\u2019s Month in May; Vincy Mas, or Carnival, which goes from the end of June to the beginning of July; and Bequia\u2019s Easter Regatta, a popular sailing event in April.\nTop Events in St. Vincent and the Grenadines\nMore Info on St. Vincent and the Grenadines Events\nSt. Vincent Carnival\nBequia Easter Regatta\nSt. Vincent and the Grenadines Nightlife\nMuch of the nightlife centers on the bigger resorts, which have barbecues and live music.

She finds a job at The Paradise, the first ever department store.The store provides the catalyst for her rags-to-riches story as she falls in love with the exhilarating and dangerous charms of the modern world and her eyes are opened to a whole new world of possibilities.\nThe drama series is produced by BBC Drama Productions and features a large cast which includes Emun Elliott, Joanna Vanderham, Elaine Cassidy, Sarah Lancashire, Matthew McNulty, Peter Wight, David Hayman, Stephen Wight, Sonya Cassidy, Ruby Bentall, Finn Burridge, Patrick Malahide, Olivia Hallinan and Mark Bonnar.

The show\u2019s first season is set to wrap its run on Tuesday November 13th.\nSpeaking of the renewal of The Paradise, Danny Cohen, Controller of BBC One, said: \u201cThe Paradise has been the biggest new drama series on British television so far this Autumn, and it has been really interesting to experiment with period drama on BBC One beyond the traditional Sunday night slot. I\u2019m delighted that the show will be returning for a second series, and can assure its loyal following that there are still some dramatic twists to come in the three episodes still to air this autumn.\u201d\nWhile series creator Bill Gallagher, added: \u201cI\u2019m very grateful that there\u2019s such a strong audience for The Paradise, and for the terrific support the BBC has given to the show to make that possible. It\u2019s such a great ensemble of actors and such a rich group of characters that it\u2019s an exciting prospect to have eight more episodes to make.\u201d",

        "title": "Best Rick Wakeman Songs: An Essential Playlist | uDiscover",
        "raw_content": "Rick Wakeman In 20 Songs\nOregano Rathbone\nHis name is synonymous with excess: keyboards stacked higher than Stonehenge; capes that resemble the outer shell of an interplanetary spacecraft; and, of course, concept albums. On ice. However, nothing slots into a pigeonhole without a struggle. Humorous, personable and earthily unpretentious, keyboardist Rick Wakeman, born on 18 May 1949, has lent his expertise to a variety of recordings \u2013 by his own estimation, contributing session performances to more than 2,000 songs. Having amassed an astonishing, almost overwhelming body of work, we\u2019ll give you a starter course with this guide to the best Rick Wakeman songs.\nOne early session with significant ramifications was for the band Junior\u2019s Eyes, whose 1969 Battersea Power Station album was produced by Tony Visconti. The producer subsequently asked Wakeman and guitarist Mick Wayne to play on the recording of a single by another of his clients \u2013 a certain David Bowie. The single in question was the epochal \u2018Space Oddity\u2019: Wakeman\u2019s questing Mellotron part earned him a laughable-in-retrospect session fee of \u00a39, but, more importantly, led to an enduring friendship and on-off professional relationship with Bowie.\nWakeman\u2019s admiration for the determinedly idiosyncratic singer-songwriter was limitless, not least after Bowie played the keyboardist the songs he had written for 1971\u2019s Hunky Dory album, one after the other, on his Hagstrom 12-string acoustic guitar. In Wakeman\u2019s recollection, Bowie asked him to interpret these for piano; however, in a comment posted on the BowieNet website, Bowie mentioned that this \u201clovely fella\u201d was slightly misremembering the occasion, and that several of the album\u2019s songs \u2013 notably, \u2018Changes\u2019 and \u2018Life On Mars?\u2019 \u2013 were actually written on piano in the first instance.\nThe latter in particular is a gift: not just a career high for both Bowie and Wakeman, but a candidate for the finest song ever written, by anyone. Wakeman is at his rippling, rhapsodic, touch-sensitive best, leaning into the song\u2019s vertiginous chord progression on Trident Studio\u2019s Bechstein grand \u2013 the same piano used by Paul McCartney on The Beatles\u2019 epochal \u2018Hey Jude\u2019.\nIf \u2018Life On Mars?\u2019 represents the jewel in Wakeman\u2019s session crown, his playing also featured, incongruously, on any number of light-pop diversions of the period by the likes of The Brotherhood Of Man, Tony Christie, White Plains and Edison Lighthouse. Rather more distinguished were sessions for Lou Reed, The Kinks, Elton John and T.Rex. For the latter\u2019s \u2018Get It On\u2019, Wakeman was asked to execute a mere piano glissando \u2013 but, to his credit, Marc Bolan is said to have called Wakeman in so as to provide the still cash-strapped musician with a much-appreciated session fee. Mention should also be made of Cat Stevens\u2019 \u2018Morning Has Broken\u2019 (from 1971\u2019s Teaser And The Firecat). As florid piano accompaniments to enormous hit singles go, this has to be one of the most famous \u2013 and Wakeman rightly remains proud of his performance.\nMuch of the keyboardist\u2019s session work came about as the result of the boost in profile provided by his \u201cday job\u201d with revered English folk-rockers The Strawbs. Having joined the band in 1970, Wakeman made a resounding mark with the piano showcase \u2018Temperament Of Mind\u2019, as featured on the live Just A Collection Of Antiques And Curios album. Elegant and technically precise, the piece moves seamlessly through various moods and modes \u2013 ragtime, baroque, blues \u2013 and tempers its virtuosic tendencies with wryly comedic \u201cchase music\u201d digressions.\nThe following year\u2019s From The Witchwood contained \u2018A Glimpse Of Heaven\u2019, Wakeman\u2019s favourite Strawbs track, with its exultant starburst of phased, Leslie-speakered Hammond organ. However, the summer of 1971 saw Wakeman jumping ship to join Yes, thereby sealing his reputation and benefiting from a wage rise, from \u00a318 per week with The Strawbs, to \u00a350.\nWakeman wasted no time in earning his keep. The fourth Yes album, November 1971\u2019s Fragile, contains one of the best Rick Wakeman songs of the era, the imperious \u2018Heart Of The Sunrise\u2019, on which the keyboardist interweaves a complex network of lines and textures on Hammond organ, Mellotron, piano and Minimoog \u2013 the latter bought for half its purchase price from Oliver! co-star Jack Wild, who mistook its monophonic mode of operation for a fault in the device itself.\nPushing their abilities to the point of collapse, Yes followed Fragile with 1972\u2019s Close To The Edge, a pinnacle in prog\u2019s controversial canon. The side-long title track in particular is wilfully, recklessly ambitious. For its midsection, Wakeman recorded a passage on the church organ at St Giles\u2019 Cripplegate (also used for \u2018Jane Seymour\u2019 from his first solo album proper, The Six Wives Of Henry VIII) \u2013 but it\u2019s his percolating Hammond obbligato that still dislocates jaws, four decades later.\nIn a scenario that Wakeman has mordantly likened to the Richard Burton-Liz Taylor relationship, the keyboardist was destined to leave and rejoin Yes several times over the ensuing years. Ironically, one of his most thrilling and accomplished performances for the band came at the height of punk, in 1977, with \u2018Awaken\u2019 from the Going For The One album. The dauntless arrogance of its virtuosity remains one of the best Rick Wakeman songs and practically qualifies as a punk gesture in itself.\nFour years earlier, in 1973, Wakeman\u2019s playing was in unprecedented demand. In addition to savouring globe-spanning success with Yes, he bagged another high-profile session scalp with his bravura turn on Black Sabbath\u2019s \u2018Sabbra Cadabra\u2019 (from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath), its regal synth motif contrastingly offset with a funky pub-piano line. According to reliable legend, Wakeman refused financial recompense for the session, opting instead for beer.\nThe same year also saw the launch of Wakeman\u2019s pathologically fecund solo career (more than 100 albums under his name have been released to date) with The Six Wives Of Henry VIII, the first of three grandiloquent, spendthrift, long-form concept works which together constitute his commercial peak. From Six Wives, \u2018Catherine Parr\u2019 remains one of the best Rick Wakeman songs: a Hammond, piano and Moog masterclass, the speed and dexterity of which defies rational belief. Wakeman allows himself no hiding place; consider the stamina and concentration required for those twinkling arpeggios alone.\nThe following year\u2019s Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, recorded live at London\u2019s Royal Festival Hall, gave Wakeman his only No.1 album \u2013 and a heart attack into the bargain when he collapsed after a performance of the piece at the Crystal Palace Bowl. With characteristic nonchalance, Wakeman spent his hospital-bound weeks of convalescence composing \u2018The Last Battle\u2019 for his next concept undertaking (with covert autobiographical resonances), 1975\u2019s The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table: yes, the very album that ended up being staged on ice when Wakeman cannily decided to exploit the rink already in situ at Wembley Arena. One of Arthur\u2019s showpieces, \u2018Sir Lancelot And The Black Night\u2019, acquired a fascinating afterlife when it was sampled by J Dilla on \u2018Sum Epic Shit\u2019 (Wakeman\u2019s material has in fact provided a regular source of samples over the years, for artistes including De La Soul and LL Cool J).\nIt\u2019s an act of folly to suppose that one can pr\u00e9cis a back catalogue that runs into three figures in just a few words. It\u2019s perhaps easier to suggest that Wakeman has dutifully catered for every corner of his fanbase in the intervening years since his commercial zenith. \u2018Statue Of Justice\u2019, from 1977\u2019s Top 30 album Criminal Record, remains one of the best Rick Wakeman songs: a firestorm of intense, dramatic convolutions, while \u2018The Pulse\u2019, from 1979\u2019s Rhapsodies, is a chilly nod to the prevalent synth-pop of the day. Those who favour Wakeman\u2019s playing in discreet and understated neo-classical mode are directed towards \u2018The Peregrine Falcon\u2019, from 1993\u2019s Heritage Suite, or \u2018The Swans\u2019, from 1994\u2019s Romance Of The Victorian Age, which Wakeman recorded with his similarly virtuosic son Adam. There again, those with a hankering for pop-oriented space-rock should seek out \u2018The Mission\u2019, from 2003\u2019s Out There, which reunites Wakeman both with his Mellotron and his stalwart 70s accompanists, The English Rock Ensemble.\nMost rewardingly, 2010\u2019s The Living Tree, recorded with his erstwhile colleague, Yes vocalist Jon Anderson, is low-key, affecting and affectionate. The likes of \u2018Morning Star\u2019 and \u2018Garden\u2019 are late-period highlights that gently repudiate the dimming of the day with a timelessness that characterises the best Rick Wakeman songs.\nFor more of the best Rick Wakeman songs, follow the Rick Wakeman Best Of playlist here.\nRelated Topics:...In 20 SongsBlack SabbathCat StevensDavid BowieOn This DayProg RockRick WakemanStrawbsYes\n50 Great Songs You\u2019ve Never Heard\nSoundgarden\u2019s Chris Cornell: A Tribute To A Singular Talent\nStream Some Prog...\nThe uDiscover Prog Rock Quiz\nProg Rock Legends\nProg Rock News\nListen To Vangelis\u2019 New \u2018Nocturne\u2019 Version Of \u2018Chariots Of Fire\u2019\nSteve Hillage Band Returning For Live UK Shows\nGeddy Lee Says Writing A Book Was \u201cGood\u201d For Him Following Rush\u2019s Final Tour\nVangelis Sets Out On New Mission With \u2018Nocturne\u2019 Album",

        "raw_content": "Jan 03 Comments Off on 8 Million Pounds Compensation Package for Hospital Infection\nA 13 year old girl, who sustained brain damage after her premature birth due to a hospital \u201csuperbug\u201d, has been awarded a compensation package worth in excess of 8 million pounds at the Royal Court of Justice in London.\nThe court heard how Ayesha Canning-Kishver from Coventry, West Midlands, was delivered at 25 weeks and 3 days at Birmingham City Hospital in July 1997. Being only 1lb and 12 ounces, and suffering from mild periventricular leukomalcia, she was immediately transferred to a special neonatal care unit where she appeared to improve over the following seven days.\nHowever, Ayesha contracted a double infection of staphylococcus epidermidis and klebsiella due to bacteria associated with medical devices \u2013 such as indwelling catheters \u2013 and almost died. The resuscitation process lead to Ayesha sustaining brain damage, and she will require around the clock care for the rest of her life.\nThe claim of medical negligence was brought against Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust by Ayesha\u2019s mother, Shahana Kishver, on the grounds that a breach in the hospital\u2019s duty of care led to delay in the infections being diagnosed and treated.\nSandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust had initially denied the claim, stating that their staff were blameless and Ayesha\u2019s condition was due to her premature birth. However, a High Court hearing in 2008 found Birmingham City Hospital liable.\nAnnouncing the compensation package at the Royal Court of Justice, the Honourable Mr. Justice Neil Butterfield stated that \u201cThis should not be viewed as a \u2018lottery win\u2019 \u2013 rather it will be used to fund the lifetime of care which Ayesha will need.\u201d\nAyesha\u2019s compensation package consists of an immediate lump sum payment of 1.3 million pounds, with annual payments of 70,000 pounds a year until Ayesha reaches the age of 18, with payments increasing thereafter to 90,000 pounds a year for the rest of her life.\nIn response to the settlement, the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust commented that they regretted the delay to respond to Ayesha\u2019s symptoms.",

        "raw_content": "Belgium v England: Join Ladbrokes for 20/1 England to Score\nThe ultimate dream may be over but the World Cup still continues for both England and Belgium who must face each other on Saturday in Russia 2018\u2019s Bronze Medal game. Third place play offs can be subdued affairs but overall it\u2019s been a positive tournament for both countries and they should be looking to finish it on a high.\nThere is a full set of betting markets for this match and for a little extra value, now could be a good time to sign up with Ladbrokes who have a new customer promotion offering generous enhanced odds of 20/1 if England score at least one goal in 90 minutes.\nThat 20/1 figure relates to normal time only, excluding any extra time, but it still compares very favourably with the open markets. For England to score, the Yes option is on offer at a best price of just 7/25 with MarathonBet so clearly there is the potential for excellent value here.\nIf you are new to Ladbrokes and you want to take this further, here\u2019s what happens next.\nAs a new account holder you can cross over from here and complete a very simple sign up process. This will only ask for the most essential information and the most important point to remember is that you must type in the Promo Code ENGLAND when asked to do so.\nThat initial stage should be validated and confirmed in around five minutes or so and at that point you should find yourself at the cashier\u2019s page. The minimum deposit set by this offer is \u00a35.00 and we suggest using either a debit or credit card to carry this out as certain eWallets, including PayPal, are specifically excluded from the offer and will render it null and void.\nTake care of those quick and simple preliminaries and you\u2019re ready to move on to the most important part.\nMaking the Bet\nFunds should clear straight away and at that point you can stake the fixed sum of \u00a31.00 on this opening bet of England to score at least once in normal time when they play Belgium in Saint Petersburg on Saturday July 14, 2018. The game kicks off at 3pm UK time and if, at the end of 90 minutes, Gareth Southgate\u2019s side have scored at least one goal, payment will be made in a two part process as follows:\nIn the event of a winning bet, the first portion of your profit will be paid in cash, based on Ladbrokes\u2019 standard market price for England to score at least one goal in normal time. This will hit your account shortly after the final whistle while the balance, up to that enhanced odds sum of 20/1, comes in a series of \u00a35.00 free bet tokens within 24 hours.\nAlternatively, if England fail to find the net in that opening 90 minute period, there is the consolation of a \u00a35.00 free bet token so you have the potential to make a profit no matter what happens.\nThat completes a full summary of the main points of this offer but you are free to check all ts and cs on the Ladbrokes promos page if you prefer.\nIt\u2019s been a long tournament for some of these England players and it might be worth noting that Harry Kane could be rested for this game or at the very least, the Spurs man may come off the bench late on. That still leaves Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford in the race for a starting berth while additional goal threat can come from midfield.\nIt\u2019s not a guaranteed offer but we only need one goal for it to pay out so it seems a strong prospect and for those who have yet to sign up with Ladbrokes, enhanced odds of 20/1 could mean that this is a perfect time to get on board.\nJuly 13, 2018 in Promotions",

Cabinet Office minister Tessa Jowell said the Conservatives were \"opting for a PR gimmick over policy substance\" and predicted the idea would be \"quietly dropped\".\n\"Families want serious, thought-through policies that meet their aspirations, not short-term public relations stunts,\" she said.\nFor the Liberal Democrats, Work and Pensions spokesperson Jenny Willott MP said: \"This prize is clearly a publicity stunt and a total waste of taxpayers' money. There are already a multitude of ways to communicate with large numbers of people online, from Facebook to discussion groups. Maybe the Tories are so out of touch they don't know what's out there, but they shouldn't waste \u00a31m of public money reinventing the wheel.\"\nThe plan will be introduced if the Conservatives win the next general election.",

It is used for energy and irrigation purposes.\nThe Southeastern Anatolia Project, known as the GAP project, is one of the biggest projects that Turkey has ever dreamed of in its history. One of the biggest goals of GAP is a project that has been a dream for the elimination of the energy deficit in Turkey, employment of the people of Southeastern Anatolia and making Southeastern lands more efficient .\nThe project, which was started in 1983 and opened in 1992, is the biggest project that changed the face of Southeastern Anatolia. The height of the dam with 8 turbines is 169 meters. It is a rock fill type dam. The capacity is 84.5 million m\u00b3. Outer surface is rocky clay and soil. The height of the first construction with the pressure of the dam lake was shortened by 10 meters. Building on; It began on November 4, 1983. The dam planned to be completed in 1994; Irrigation and energy. 84.4 million m3 rock and earth fill and filler volume are the fifth most common dams in the world to date. The lake area from the square is 817 kilometers. Picture of Atat\u00fcrk Dam on the back of 1 000 000 TL Picture of Atat\u00fcrk Dam on the back of 1 YTL Picture The height of Temelden is 169 meters. The minimum water elevation is 513, the ideal water elevation is 526, and the maximum water elevation is 524 meters in height from the river level. The dams must have a depth of at least 133 m in order to be able to generate electricity. The size of the dam wall is 1644 and the width is 15 meters. It has 2400 MW of power and an annual production capacity of 8900 GWh of electricity. At the end of the construction in 1992, it produced 144 billion kilowatts of energy daily. The economic value of this value is 15 billion dollars. The Ataturk Dam is the only one that will meet 20 percent of the energy generated in Turkey\u2019s hydroelectric power plants. Atat\u00fcrk Dam is the 6th largest dam in the world from voluminous maintenance. The hydroelectric power plant is also the 5th largest hydroelectric power plant among those constructed in the world. However, it is the biggest dam of Europe and Turkey. It is the capacity to complete Istanbul\u2019s annual water needs in five days. Annual average water flow is 26.654 billion cubic meters. Total water storage volume is 48.7 billion cubic meters. In each group; There are 8 turbine generators with a power of 300 Megawatts. On July 25, 1992, two of these 8 units were opened for service. With the completion of the construction of the Tunnel in \u015eanl\u0131 Urfa, which is still under construction, 1.43 million acres of land will be irrigated in \u015eanl\u0131 Urfa, Harran, Mardin, Ceylanp\u0131nar and Siverek-Hilvan ovals. A total of 874 thousand 200 hectares of land will be irrigated from the Atat\u00fcrk Dam. 207 thousand hectares are open to irrigation. The contribution to the country\u2019s economy has been 5.5 billion dollars. If the entire area is irrigated, the annual turnover will be 2.5 billion dollars. The current employment is 400 thousand people. It is planned to employ 1 million 750 thousand people with GAP\u2019s full activity.\nBir \u00f6nceki yaz\u0131m\u0131z olan What are the hydroelectric power plants in Turkey? ba\u015fl\u0131kl\u0131 makalemizde hydroelectric plants are where hydroelectric power plant is where, hydroelectric power plants ve hydroelectric power plants in Turkey hakk\u0131nda bilgiler verilmektedir.\nAtat\u00fcrk DamAtat\u00fcrk Dam and Hydroelectric Power PlantAtat\u00fcrk Hydroelectric Power Planthydroelectric power plants\nAtat\u00fcrk Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant ne zaman per\u015fembe g\u00fcn\u00fcnde Leyla \u015eeker bu siteden okudum.\nD\u00fczce merkezden ben Hamza Kaya.

        "raw_content": "FireAntz Hockey Returns to the Crown\n{mosimage}It\u2019s been a long, hot summer for the FireAntz faithful, but summer\u2019s over and the FireAntz are ready to skate their way back in to the hearts of their fans, as FireAntz hockey comes to the Crown Coliseum on Oct. 31.\nWhile this will be the first home stand for Fayetteville\u2019s most popular athletes, the hockey team will storm into the Crown after adding two notches to its belt this past weekend, defeating Richmond 6-3 on Saturday, Oct. 25; and schooling last year\u2019s league champions, Knoxville, 3-2 on Friday, Nov. 24.\nThose wins come as no surprise to Jason Fleming, the team\u2019s vice president. Fleming doesn\u2019t hesitate to talk about the upcoming season and the team\u2019s players with enthusiasm.\n\u201cWe\u2019re really excited about this upcoming season,\u201d said Fleming. \u201cLast year we were just one win away from reaching the finals for the second consecutive year.\u201d\nWhile many teams in the league are experiencing a rebuilding season, the FireAntz are blessed to have eight of their returning starters back on the line this season. The team\u2019s future may very well be built on the quick reflexes and leadership of its returning goaltender \u2014 Chad Collins. Collins, a fan favorite, has already taken the lead in the Southern Professional Hockey League, and Fleming and company expect him to continue to shine throughout the season.\nHe\u2019ll be joined again this year by Kyle Knechtel, who played his rookie year last year. Collins was out for six weeks last year, and Knechtel carried the standard and kept the puck out of the goal for the team during that period. \u201cKyle was a rookie player, but he really stepped up to the plate and had a huge impact on the team last year. He was an awesome goalie, and we are looking forward to his getting his second playing year under his belt,\u201d said Fleming.\nSix other players are returning \u2013 four forwards and two defensemen \u2013 to keep the FireAntz in control of the ice. Corey Hessler, the team captain and assistant coach, will lend his maturity and skills to the mix to lead the team to what Fleming and company hopes is certain victory.\nThe team is looking to Rob Sich, another fan favorite, and Justin Keller to lead the team\u2019s offense. The two didn\u2019t disappoint in the opening weekend of the season, with both players delivering stellar performances.\nIf the hockey isn\u2019t enough to entice you, the team will again a host a number of special events throughout the year, starting with the first home game.\n\u201cOur home opening is on Friday, Oct. 31, so we have to compete with Halloween,\u201d said Fleming. \u201cWe\u2019re encouraging everyone to come out and Trick-or-Treat with the FireAntz.\u201dFleming explained that all of the team\u2019s business partners will have candy stands set up around the coliseum, passing out candy to all of the little FireAntz fans in costume. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun, safe atmosphere for trick-or-treat,\u201d continued Fleming. \u201cOn top of it, you can a chance to watch the FireAntz at home!\u201d\nThe team will also sponsor a costume contest for the best costume (and it doesn\u2019t matter how old you are to compete in this contest.) First prize is a $100 cash prize; second prize is a team jersey; and third place is a team T-shirt.\nThe second game in the opening home stand is a repeat of last year\u2019s military events \u2013 Operation Welcome Home. \u201cWe\u2019re going to sponsor Operation Welcome Home V in conjunction with the Home Builder\u2019s Association of Fayetteville,\u201d explained season. \u201cWe are providing 5,000 tickets to the men and women of our military who have recently returned from deployment. We think it\u2019s a nice way to give back to the men and women who have put everything on the line for us. It\u2019s a very small token to say thank you.\u201d",

Cooking accidents cause the majority of house fires, leading to 44 percent of home structural blazes in 2010.\nAlthough fires are covered under basic homeowners insurance rates and premiums, consumers should be aware that, like candle fires, clothes dryer fires could be categorized as caused inherently by negligence. According to the USFA report, failure to properly clean the dryer was the cause of 34 percent of clothes dryer fires.",

        "title": "Clean Power Plan sees diverse support in court filings, including utilities | Utility Dive",
        "raw_content": "Clean Power Plan sees diverse support in court filings, including utilities\nA wide range of groups filed briefs with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in support of the Clean Power Plan last week, including utilities, clean energy companies and tech giants, EnergyWire reports.\nMore than 200 current and former lawmakers, most of them Democrats, have filed an amicus brief arguing the CPP, which aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector 32% by 2030, is consistent with the Clean Air Act.\nAmong large corporations supporting the rule are: Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft, Ikea, Mars Inc. (the candy maker), and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts. A handful of investor-owned utilities are also supporting the rule.\nWhile briefs flowing into the court largely represent the positions observers of the case have come to expect, a couple stand out.\nDominion Resources, a utility with plenty of fossil fuel resources, came out in favor of the Clean Power Plan. The utility said the rule provides a \"flexible, accommodating compliance framework\" and that the rule is \"challenging but ultimately manageable for regulated power plants.\"\nWhile most utilities are opposing the rule, Dominion is not alone in its support. EnergyWire pointed out that Southern California Edison Co. and Pacific Gas and Electric Corp. have also joined in favor of the rule. Utilities supporting the Clean Power Plan have generally argued that the rule represents the direction the utility and power industry is already moving.\nThe Hill points out that a large group of past and current lawmakers, largely Democrats, support the CPP.\n\u201cThe rule at issue effectuates the policy Congress established in the CAA because it is consistent with the text, structure, and legislative history of the act,\u201d they told the court. \u201cMost significantly, it reflects Congress\u2019s considered decision to establish a comprehensive regulatory regime that could address all pollutants, both known and unknown,\u201d they argued in their amicus brief.\nAmazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft submitted a joint brief, arguing \"climate change is a significant global challenge and that strong action from the business community is critical to meeting the serious threat posed by greenhouse gas emissions.\"\nThe companies pointed out that last year they used over 10 million MWh of energy, at more than 50 data centers in a dozen states, and \"expect this amount to grow as the number of data centers increases.\"\n\u201cThe extraordinary and diverse experts from across America who are defending the Clean Power Plan show the unstoppable momentum for climate action in America,\u201d Fred Krupp, president of Environmental Defense Fund, said in a statement.\nEDF, a party to the case, filed its brief supporting the rule last month.\n\u201cThese rigorous and compelling briefs are a vivid reminder that Americans are embracing the clean energy future and recognizing the importance of securing a safe climate for our health, economy, and generations to come,\" Krupp said. \"It makes me optimistic about the court battle ahead of us. EDF looks forward to presenting a strong case in defense of the Clean Power Plan.\u201d\nIn March, the EPA filed a 200-page merit brief defending its proposal to regulate existing power plants, saying climate change is a \"monumental threat\" and that the agency is within its authority to take action.\n\u201cThe [Clean Power Plan] will secure critically important reductions in carbon dioxide emissions from what are by far the largest emitters in the United States \u2014 fossil-fuel-fired power plants,\" EPA said. \"CO2 and other heat-trapping greenhouse-gas emissions pose a monumental threat to Americans\u2019 health and welfare by driving long-lasting changes in our climate, leading to an array of severe negative effects, which will worsen over time.\"\nEnergyWire From Madeleine Albright to candymaker, rule sees broad support",

        "title": "Parliament of World\u2019s Religions forges global community in Toronto | UU World Magazine",
        "raw_content": "The Quilt of Belonging, displayed at the 2018 Parliament of the World's Religions in Toronto, Ontario. (\u00a9 2018 John Hamer)\nParliament of World\u2019s Religions forges global community in Toronto\nTK Barger\nInternational Engagement & Building Peace\nThe multifaith community in Toledo, Ohio, where I live, tries to approach the togetherness of a Parliament of the World\u2019s Religions, so when the actual PoWR (what an acronym!) announced it would meet in relatively nearby Toronto, Ontario, November 1-7, 2018, we were excited. Judy Trautman, a Toledo Unitarian Universalist who is also a Sufi cherag and chair of the MultiFaith Council of Northwest Ohio, and I, the minister at First Unitarian Church of Toledo, were among those who made plans to attend.\nOur church duo isn\u2019t quite the count from Peoria, Illinois, where the Rev. Michael Brown is minister at the Universalist Unitarian Church of Peoria* and has attended each parliament since 1993. (The first of the seven parliaments was in 1893 and the second a century later in 1993, both in Chicago.) He brought about twenty-five people from his congregation, including Marcus Fogliano, the Unitarian Universalist Association\u2019s project manager for the Commission on Institutional Change.\nWhile Fogliano attended some workshops, they said they were mostly \u201cgetting stuck in conversation with people out in the hallway, which I think is part of the intention\u2014to connect with folks from around the world, different faith traditions.\u201d\nAt the parliaments, Brown experiences global community. He said it\u2019s an opportunity \u201cto be with literally people from all over the world, and they\u2019re religious people but it\u2019s religious in a very, very broad sense.\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s actually really moving and touching to have over 200 faith communities represented here,\u201d said Vyda Ng, the Canadian Unitarian Council\u2019s executive director, who was featured in a presentation on the LGBTQ-affirming Welcoming Congregations program. (The Unitarian Universalist Association provides Welcoming Congregations resources in the United States.) \u201cI heard somewhere that over 80 countries [are represented]. I think it\u2019s been a great opportunity for Toronto to host it and to have a Unitarian presence here.\u201d\nIt wasn\u2019t easy to distinguish Unitarian Universalists among the 7,500-plus attendees.\nBruce Knotts, the director of the Unitarian Universalist United Nations Office, is a Parliament of the World\u2019s Religions trustee and was a programming presenter. \u201cPart of me wants to say everybody here is a UU,\u201d Knotts said. \u201cWe share many of the sensibilities and the idea of inclusion and working together and acceptance of each other as we are.\u201d\nThere\u2019s awareness, he added, that the degree of acceptance could be limiting. He said there is talk at the board about inviting \u201cpeople that maybe are not so much like us, . . . because a lot of our workshops and a lot of the speaking that we\u2019re doing here is really speaking to the choir.\u201d\nThe Rev. Dr. Myriam Renaud, a Unitarian Universalist minister and principal project director of the parliament\u2019s Global Ethics Project,* sees true diversity among attendees. \u201cThere are Methodists; there are people who practice African religions; there are Buddhists. . . . They hold to their beliefs and their faith very deeply in a way that the conversation here is much larger than you see among Unitarian Universalists.\u201d\nThe manner of dress is also much larger, including saffron robes of dharma traditions, sacred garb for pagans, even the occasional clergy shirt (I \u201ccollared up\u201d for opening and closing days plus Sunday). \u201cThere\u2019s just great vestments here,\u201d said the Rev. Dr. Kelly Murphy Mason, senior minister at the UU Society of Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts. \u201cThe charm here is just really A-plus production values.\u201d\nThe Rev. Dr. Bruce Johnson, the minister at the UU Congregation of Duluth, Minnesota, said that the parliament was like UUA General Assembly \u201con steroids.\u201d\nJane Ebbern of Calgary, Alberta, the president of the CUC board of trustees, noted that, with the parliament meeting in Toronto, the comparison might be to a CUC assembly. She that at a Canadian conference, \u201cWe\u2019ll have three or four streams going at once, whereas here I probably could have been at five different things out of the twenty that were offered at 2:00 this afternoon.\u201d She also realized that all of the sessions were not stellar; because the CUC chose a social justice focus on water, she said she attended a water justice session at PoWR \u201cand, ironically, it wasn\u2019t great.\u201d\nWith the larger scale at PoWR, I found a need for discernment and pacing. I realized that taking in the totality of the experience is not a good strategy. I focused on attending sessions that would help me develop a diverse base for my public ministry and experiencing religious practice from many faith perspectives: a sunrise Indigenous ceremony to light the sacred fire that burned for the entirety of the parliament, an interfaith meditation circle led by a Roman Catholic brother, a Sikh prayer observance, a Cosmic Mass ritual featuring the Rev. Matthew Fox and his Creation Spirituality, a Jain puja, a Sufi kirtan, a pagan tea ceremony, and an intercultural interfaith circle of interdependence.\nI spent a Sunday afternoon away from the parliament to attend the ordination of the Rev. Christopher Wulff at First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto, followed by a return to the parliament for The Clergy Project, a play featuring the Rev. Shawn Newton, First Unitarian Congregation\u2019s minister, as one of the three author/performers.\nOther attendees spent time away from the Metro Toronto Convention Centre to form rings around Jewish places of worship during their Shabbat services, showing solidarity after the shootings at the Tree of Life*Or L\u2019Simcha Congregation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Those October 27 killings, and the 1984 riots in India when about 2,800 Sikhs were killed, were spoken of repeatedly from the parliament platform.\nNow that I\u2019m home, I\u2019m back to building multifaith bridges using relationships, programs, and meditation. It was a good PoWR break; now it\u2019s time to return to the work.\nUpdated 11/20/18: An earlier version of this story included an incorrect name for the Universalist Unitarian Church of Peoria (click here to return to the updated paragraph) and incomplete identification of the Rev. Dr. Myriam Renaud (click here to return to the updated paragraph).\nThe Rev. Dr. Tim Barger, minister of First Unitarian Church of Toledo, Ohio, writes under the byline TK Barger. Before being called as the settled minister in Toledo, he was religion editor of the Blade, Toledo\u2019s daily newspaper. He is a graduate of Meadville Lombard and earned a Ph.D. in mass communications from Syracuse University. He contributed an essay to Humanist Voices in Unitarian Universalism (Skinner House, 2016)\nInterfaith, International, International Engagement & Building Peace\nWhat now for Americans and climate change?\nThe new administration poses grave challenges, but don\u2019t give up the fight just yet.\nShelby Meyerhoff | 4/17/2017 | Spring 2017\nKen Burns explores Unitarians\u2019 WWII story\nA new documentary about two Unitarian heroes is coming this fall to PBS.\nDenise T.

        "raw_content": "Home Politics Europe NNA asking for permission to intervene on the SNUS ban\nNNA asking for permission to intervene on the SNUS ban\nA spokesperson for the New Nicotine Alliance (NNA), in the UK, Jessica harding has contacted us at Vaping Post informing us that in two days' time, on the 26th of January, the organization is appealing to the High Court in London, asking \"for permission to act as an independent intervenor in the Swedish Match application to challenge the ban on snus\".\nAn article published on the NNA\u2019s website last week, pointed out that the tobacco alternative which is very popular in Sweden and Norway, is an effective harm reduction product which has helped thousands quit smoking in these Scandinavian countries. The article added that the popularity of snus has led to these two countries reporting the lowest rates of lung cancer in Europe.\nEnter the TPD\nUnfortunately, the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), was even harsher on snus than it was on electronic cigarettes. Despite the large number of consumers who voiced their opinion to the contrary, the ban was implemented all throughout Europe with the exception of Sweden.\nIncreasing the variety of harm reduction products, increases the likelihood for smokers to find the method that most suits them, hence optimizing their chances of quitting.\n\u201cE-cigarettes are having a major impact, but they don\u2019t work for everyone in all circumstances. We want to see wide availability of all safer nicotine products as alternatives to smoking.\u201d said Chair for the NNA, Professor Gerry Stimson. He added that increasing the variety of harm reduction products, increases the likelihood for smokers to find the method that most suits them, hence optimizing their chances of quitting.\nAppealing to the European Court of Justice\nThe NNA is pointing out that \u201csnus fulfils the criteria for a tobacco harm reduction product and that it should be available in the UK.\u201d Hence why next Thursday they are going to the High Court, asking to be allowed to effect their own submission to the European Court of Justice, in order to point out the benefits that would come about as a result of the ban lift. Consequently a decision by the EU Court to revoke the ban, would apply all throughout Europe, including the UK.\n\u201cWe will tell the court that the ban is harmful to health rather than protective of health; that it discriminates against products and consumers, and works against the achievement of a high level of health protection. UK smokers deserve a better deal \u2013 the snus ban kills \u201d NNA Chair, Professor Gerry Stimson\n\u201cWe will tell the court that the ban is harmful to health rather than protective of health; that it discriminates against products and consumers, and works against the achievement of a high level of health protection.

        "raw_content": "Malaysia's PM Seeks to Implement Reforms, Restore Country's Reputation\nAt 92, Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad Gets Busy\nMalaysia's 92-year-old prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, is determined to restore the country's reputation and his legacy, having wrested back leadership following national elections in early May. During his previous 22-year rule, Mahathir built the small former British colony into one of Asia\u2019s proudest economic powerhouses, only to see it reduced to mockery under corruption scandals that resembled movie scripts.\nIn an interview with VOA following his stunning electoral upset over Prime Minister Najib Razak, Mahathir was steadfast on the need for reform and said his earlier tenure in no way contributed to subsequent abuses of power - such as the allegations facing Najib.\n\u201cWell, my first 20 years as prime minister was fairly easy. I inherited a system that is already there. All I have to do is introduce new ideas so that we can expedite the growth and development of Malaysia,\u201d he said of that tenure, which ended in 2003.\n\u201cBut here I am dealing with a country that has actually been destroyed,\u201d he added, referring to the recent scandals.\nFormer Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, center, speaks to media as he leaves the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Office in Putrajaya, Malaysia, May 24, 2018.\nOne highly publicized scandal links Najib to the disappearance of hundreds of millions of dollars from a state fund, 1 Malaysia Development Berhad, which the ousted prime minister set up in 2009 for infrastructure projects.\nNajib, who has now been repeatedly brought before the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, has denied any wrongdoing.\nFILE - Police prepare to load confiscated items into a truck in Kuala Lumpur, May 18, 2018.\nNajib is also linked to alleged scams involving the Federal Land Development Authority, the Employees Provident Fund and other state institutions, and to huge contracts signed with borrowed money for infrastructure projects of questionable value.\nMahathir Monday canceled one of those projects \u2014 a multi-billion-dollar high-speed rail project connecting Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, calling it expensive and unnecessary.\nAlso in his sights is the more than $18 billion Chinese-backed East Coast Rail Link project, which he said was \u201cnot viable\u201d and needed to be renegotiated.\nMahathir told VOA his government has already found ways to wipe out about a fifth of Malaysia\u2019s foreign debt, which ballooned to more than $250 billion under Najib.\nHe said the international perception of Malaysia as a country \u201cgoverned by crooks\u201d is one that has to be remedied so that foreigners will once again find it is well-governed and worthy of investments that actually benefit the nation.\n\u201cWhatever you may say about my period as prime minister before, the fact is that lots of people look at Malaysia as a great place to do business with, and we had huge foreign investment in this country, and this country grew at a very high rate during that period,\u201d he said.\nReturning to that kind of prosperity, Mahathir said, was largely a matter of returning the rule of law - something the prime minister said he could be trusted to do, while adding that Najib abused that trust.\nPending checks on authorities include fixed term limits for prime ministers and parliamentary oversight of senior political appointments, and proper separation of the three branches of government, Mahathir said.\nAs for his seemingly authoritarian use of executive instruments such as the Internal Security Act to jail political opponents and shut down critical press during his rule, Mahathir said he sees no connection to what transpired after he stepped down in 2003.\n\u201cThey were not abuses; they were within the law as the law provided at that time. Of course, the law was harsh, and the law was inherited from my predecessors who also used the same law,\u201d he said.\n\u201cBut what has happened is the same laws were in place when I stepped down. It is the abuse of those laws that has led to the present condition in Malaysia.\u201d\nMahathir said he believes he has been demonized by former political opponents and misleadingly characterized as authoritarian by the foreign press.\nWong Chin Huat, a political scientist at the Penang Institute in Malaysia, said Mahathir destroyed judicial independence and many state institutions and must shoulder some of the blame for what followed his tenure.\n\u201cIt was a flawed system. He reinforced the system so much so that the system became like a fortress that is so hard to conquer. With a flawed character like Najib occupying that fortress, he just became very resilient,\u201d Wong said.\nMalaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, center, waves next to newly appointed Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, left, after a press conference to announce his cabinet members in Petaling Jaya, May 12, 2018.\nRecent decisions, though, suggested Mahathir was committed to reform and true separation of power, said Wong.\n\u201cHis commitment actually surprised me,\u201d Wong said. He noted Mahathir's recent decisions to resign as education minister after realizing that holding the post was a conflict of interest, and for Pakatan Harapan, the coalition that supported him, to stop taking in problematic defectors from the ousted Barisan Nasional coalition, which Najib headed.\nWong said that for lasting, genuine democracy to take root, Malaysians must tackle the difficult challenge of how to build an effective opposition in a complex, multiracial society.\n\u201cI think a lot of people are still celebrating the fact that we have a good government. But no good government lasts unless you have a good opposition. You need a good opposition to check on them, to be prepared to stand in and replace them,\u201d he said.\n\u201cBut if you suppress the opposition, a desperate opposition may take desperate measures and desperate positioning that eventually makes itself unelectable, and therefore the government can afford to be corrupt, can afford to abuse power.\u201d\nVOA Interview: Mahathir says Malaysia Suffering from Financial 'Destruction'\nWife of Malaysia's Ex-Leader Slams 'Public Trial'\nIn Malaysia, Talk of Reopening Mongolian Model Murder Case\nPeople Power Fueled the Malaysian Election Upset",

        "raw_content": "In a Paris show season full of designers testing their own limits and going against preconceived notions of themselves, it has been down to Rei Kawakubo to go the furthest of all. In today's Comme des Gar\u00e7ons collection of twenty-three looks, each accompanied by its own particular piece of music, she presented a series of objects that might be worn on the body.\nNow, that last statement might seem rather arch, but there is a reason for it. Always wanting to do something new, something that hasn't existed before, Kawakubo decided this season that the only way she could do this was by setting out not to make clothes. The designer wanted to see herself, not through her own fashion eyes, but through ones that were innocent of all this. That's why, this evening, she adhered to none of the strict fashion show formulas. There had been no toiles, no fittings on the body; these were objects to go beyond the body, to reformulate what fashion is to the designer.\nThis is one of the reasons the collection is one about which it\u0092s incredibly difficult to write. To roll out all of the autopilot fashion formulas, all of the blah blah about fabrics and forms, to adhere to a standard frame of reference\u2014that's just not going to cut it. To pass judgments on \"wearability\" or \"practicality\" just seems facile, especially as figures such as Leigh Bowery have existed in the past and helped move the goal posts of the perception of clothing and fashion. And hopefully most of us are lucky enough to live in societies where we can wear what the hell we want, where we can always push the boundaries without literally being arrested. Perhaps, to paraphrase Eleanor Roosevelt, no one can make you feel what fashion is without your consent. Kawakubo is simply asking for consent, not dictating the terms of clothing.\nRead Sarah Mower\u2019s review of Comme des Gar\u00e7ons\u2019s Spring 2014 ready-to-wear fashion show.",

        "raw_content": "Taylor Named Haines Biochem Professor\nAssociate Professor of Chemistry Ann Taylor has been named the first William J. and Wilma M. Haines Professor in Biochemistry at Wabash College. Taylor, who received her undergraduate degree from Concordia College and her Ph.D. in chemistry from Purdue University, began her tenure at Wabash in 1998.\nThe Haines Chair in Biochemistry is endowed by gifts to Wabash from William J. Haines, Class of 1940, who was the first Wabash graduate to earn a Ph.D. in biochemistry.\n\u201cA strong advocate for faculty-student research, for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and for institutional assessment that leads to change, Ann Taylor exemplifies a commitment to teaching and learning in a liberal arts context,\u201d said Dean Gary A. Phillips in his announcement to the faculty. \u201cIt is the kind of teaching that changed the life of Bill Haines, the kind of teaching that continues to changes today\u2019s generation of Wabash students.\u201d\nTaylor\u2019s research has focused on signal transduction in plant disease, and she has worked closely with students in her research \u2014 and in exposing them to applications of their scientific studies.\n\u201cI did have the opportunity to meet Bill Haines in person at the dedication of our new science building,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cHe is indeed a remarkable man, with great foresight. When he got his Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1947, the field was incredibly young. For example, we didn't know the structures of proteins or DNA, and how DNA communicated genetic information wasn't known.\n\u201cI hope Wabash's biochemistry program will spur students to not only be well-grounded in the fundamentals of biochemistry, but also to be able to adapt to new discoveries and to embrace the future with vision, passion, and leadership as Bill Haines has,\u201d Professor Taylor said.\nThe William J. and Wilma M. Haines Fund for the Study of Biochemistry has two broad mandates and purposes: the establishment of an endowed professorship and to extend the work of the Haines Professor in Biochemistry through support for student research, public lectures and symposia, and other related activities.\n\u201cThe Haines Fund for the Study of Biochemistry has already and will continue to provide students with opportunities to conduct research and interact with cutting edge researchers,\u201d Professor Taylor said.\nThe Haines Fund allowed Taylor to lead an advanced biochemistry course in an investigation of how genetically modified crops are made \u2014 and in a discussion of the ethics and regulation of genetically modified crops. The students traveled to the Missouri Botanical Gardens, Danforth Science Center, and to the world headquarters of the corporate giant, Monstanto.\nOver the last decade income from the accumulating gifts has been used to support student-faculty research, to meet equipment needs, and to convene an annual public program that has highlighted the role of biochemistry in the College\u2019s curriculum. Those programs have featured many promising young biochemists, including Wabash College alumni.\n\u201cDr. Haines\u2019 gift has already allowed students such as Evan Johnson \u201901, Zach Kaur \u201904, and others to conduct biochemical research at Wabash, and they are now earning Ph.D.s in biochemically related fields,\u201d said Professor Taylor.\n\u201cIndeed, I\u2019d like to thank Bill Haines for endowing this chair, the accompanying research fund, and the opportunities it creates for students.\u201d\nTaylor is well-known on the Wabash campus for pushing her students beyond memorization of facts. She has students who study infectious diseases write newspaper articles for the lay public, and do so in a way that can be understood and judged by non-scientists. She\u2019s currently teaching a course on the chemistry of cancer, for which her students have done extensive research and have presented their findings in both public presentations and on the website, Proteopedia.\nWilliam J Haines was a graduate of Crawfordsville High School and star student of famed Wabash chemistry professor \u201cDoc\u201d Howell. Haines graduated summa cum laude and first in his class with a double major in chemistry and math. After earning his Ph.D. in 1947, Dr. Haines went on to a successful career with the Upjohn Company, Armour Laboratories, and Ortho Pharmaceuticals, a division of Johnson & Johnson, where he served as vice-president for a research and development group, a position he held until his retirement in 1991 as Director, Executive Committee Member, and Corporate Vice President. Dr. Haines was also an active member of the Wabash College Board of Trustees from 1972 through 1993, and continues to serve as an Emeritus Trustee.",

The alumni of DePauw University presented Bambrey the Spirit of the Monon Bell Award.\nEach year the Indianapolis alumni associations of Wabash and DePauw come together for a friendly night of old stories, good times, and laughter. Presidents Pat White and Brian Casey both spoke at the event \u2014 taking time to rib one another, but reminding all in attendance that the two rivals have much in common. Alumni, they said, are blessed to have a rivalry as old and respected as the Monon Bell rivalry.\nEach year, alumni from DePauw select one Wabash alumnus to receive the Spirit of the Monon Bell Award. This year, Page Cotton, soccer coach and athletic director in a DePauw career spanning more than 40 years, presented Bambrey with the honor. The two campus leaders worked hard together to advance the Monon Bell Classic and provide a safe, festive environment for fans to cheer on their teams.\nBambrey retired in June from his post as Director of Athletics. He previously served as the College's Dean of Students.\nRecently retired Head Basketball Coach Mac Petty presented DePauw alumnus Brad Stevens with the other Spirit of the Monon Bell Award. Stevens, head coach at Butler University, has guided the Bulldogs to consecutive trips to the NCAA Division I Championship game.\nNearly 300 alumni from both schools gathered for the event. And in a new tradition, alumni made donations to honor each Spirit of the Monon Bell Award winner. Bambrey selected the Montgomery County Free Clinic as his charity, while Stevens selected Gleaners Food Bank. Wabash alumni donated nearly $3,000 to the new medical clinic, which will be named in honor of Dr. Mary Ludwig.",

        "raw_content": "Why we won't see a baby boom of saviour siblings\nIs the decision by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority to relax the rules surrounding the screening of embryos a major victory for science or a slippery slope towards human quality control?\nSo-called saviour siblings have alternatively been regarded as baby-sized miracles and the 21st century face of slavery. But is the decision by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority to relax the rules surrounding the screening of embryos a major victory for science or a slippery slope towards human quality control? Health Editor Madeleine Brindley examines why the decision has us all searching the moral maze for answers....\nFERTILITY is an emotive subject at the best of times, not least because it encompasses that most basic but most magical of human functions - fulfilling our biological potential to become a parent.\nBut add the small phrases \"in-vitro fertilisation\" and \"selection\" to the mix and it becomes a potentially explosive issue.\nWhile few of us would ever explicitly question our, or our neighbour's, rights or motives to conceive, carry and give birth to a new life, in today's scientific climate where it is possible to make babies in a test tube in the sterile confines of a laboratory, we find ourselves questioning those who turn to IVF for a solution to the emotionally painful infertility cross they bear.\nBut we reserve our most vehement inquisition for those few couples who look to ground-breaking infertility treatments for an answer to an existing child's terminal illness.\nThe emergence of the \"saviour sibling\" has seen a war of words break out between opposing factions. It may have taken science to its limits, but it has tied ethics in knots along the way. More significantly, it has questioned our very views about our roles and functions in life and as parents.\nThe decision by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) this week to relax the rules surrounding embryonic screening - pre-selecting which embryos should be given a shot at life before they are even implanted into the womb - has not only brought these ethical conflicts to the fore, including that age-old question about the meaning of life, but it has also questioned what role we, as humans should play in the creation of more human beings.\nAre we innocent bystanders to Nature? Or can we play God and meddle in conception, which has, after all, until recently, been a little understood miracle?\nSaviour siblings have been described as the manifestation of slavery in the 21st century - babies will be born with the express purpose of serving another sibling, with no choices and scant rights.\nBut what of those parents whose only option left is to pursue the saviour sibling path. Yes, they have a duty to their unborn child, but they also have a duty to their existing child to do as much as they can. As the argument goes - one which has been repeatedly made by those few families who have been left with little choice but to opt for such a radical solution - surely a saviour sibling will be as loved and wanted, if not more, than their brothers and sisters.\nBut to allow embryos to be pre-selected for implantation on the basis of their genetic makeup - in the case of \"saviour siblings\" those which exactly match the genetic make-up of an existing ill child are selected - is, for others a step too far.\nIt is not a demonstration of science at its best, akin to daring, life-saving surgical procedures which should be embraced and applauded as evidence of mankind's achievements, but the first step towards a form of human quality control or eugenics.\nHow long, they argue, will it be before we see embryos - potential foetuses and babies - chosen because they have blue eyes or Roman noses?\nThe HFEA's decision will certainly make it easier for parents hoping to create a saviour sibling to access the necessary techniques within the UK, rather than scouring the globe for a clinic willing to perform the controversial procedure.\nBut we are unlikely to see a baby boom of saviour siblings as a result.\nIVF may have come of age, but it remains a notoriously expensive and exclusive treatment which carries no guarantees of success. The Hashmi family, whose five-year-old son Zain has a rare blood disorder, have endured six cycles of IVF, a miscarriage and spent #60,000, without success.\nThe couple want to use stem cells from the umbilical cord of their next child to help treat Zain's thalassemia, an illness which means he has to undergo blood transfusions every three to four weeks.\nFather Raj, 41, said, \"Going through IVF, going through this treatment doesn't guarantee success at the end of it.\n\"It is an uphill struggle at all times. We know, we are living examples and we've been through it.\"\nThe whole issue of whether we, as a society, should allow embryos to be selected in these very specific and rare cases has blown our moral mazes wide open and the ethical debates are unlikely to be silenced by the HFEA's decision.\nIt is our very human nature to question and to debate such complex ethical dilemmas that will ensure this controversial procedure will not be abused, but will, in the words of the HFEA, remain a last resort.",

W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 launched its new low speed X-generation series in May 2011.\nW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s new electronically controlled low speed engine, the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X35, has successfully passed its Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT). The tests of the two engines took place in February 2012 at both the 3.MAJ Engines & Cranes company facilities in Croatia, and the Yuchai Marine Power Co., Ltd. (YCMP) factory in China. The FAT procedures were attended by representatives from the Classification Society, the shipyard, and the owner of the vessels into which the engines will be installed.\nThe 6-cylinder W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X35 has undergone a series of tests as part of a comprehensive testing and validation programme. The engine performance of the first two engines fully met all expectations and predictions. All the measured results were in keeping with the calculated values, and well within accepted limits. The measured parameters included stresses, strains, temperatures and vibrations in the engine structure, running gears and combustion chamber components, together with pressures and temperatures in the engine processes, as well as fuel consumption, exhaust gas emissions and smoke. The tests furthermore confirmed the predicted brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of 176g/kWh, within the usual 5 per cent margin under IMO Tier II conditions.\nThis was the first 6-cylinder W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X35 engine to be produced and tested in Europe. It is the first of four such engines scheduled for manufacturing and testing at 3.MAJ during 2012. 3.MAJ is a long-standing licensee of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4, having signed its licence agreement in 1954.\nThe second of the tested engines was produced at YCMP, a W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 licensee since 2009. Like 3.MAJ, YCMP is a \u2018single\u2019 licensee, meaning that they manufacture only W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 two-stroke engines.\n\u201cThe successful Factory Acceptance Tests are an important step forward in the development of the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 two-stroke engine portfolio, as these represent the first engines of the new X-engines family. The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X35 engine is now available for market introduction at a time when the marine sector has a clear need for electronically controlled, low speed, high efficiency two-stroke engines,\u201d says Mr Martin Wernli, President, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Switzerland and Vice President, Product Centre 2-stroke.\nThe W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X35 is a completely new W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 engine that, together with the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X40, will cover the small-bore end of the market. The engines will be used for smaller bulk carriers, product tankers and container feeder vessels. It is a segment where W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has not been present for a number of years.\nThe new low speed X-generation series was launched in May 2011. It employs W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s well-proven common-rail RT-flex technology, and incorporates additional features designed to meet the needs of the fast-changing shipping business. W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X-series engines feature an extra long stroke that achieves excellent fuel economy, while the operational flexibility enabled by the technology is exceptional. Originally introduced as the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 RT-flex35 and RT-flex40 engines, it was decided to change the names in order to align the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 product portfolio in a consistent way.\nFormer releases:\nW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 extends engine portfolio with 62- and 72-bore electronically controlled low speed engines\nFirst W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X35 low-speed engine successfully started up at Yuchai Marine Power in China\nImage of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 X35 engine\nPresident, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Switzerland,\nVice President, Product Centre 2-stroke",

        "title": "Time and time again, hyped claims of rampant illegal voting turn out to be untrue - The Washington Post",
        "raw_content": "In this March 6, 2018, file photo, voters, mostly students, wait to cast ballots at a Texas primary election polling site on the University of Texas campus in Austin. (Eric Gay, File)\nIt took just over a day for an announcement from the office of the Texas secretary of state hinting that thousands of noncitizens might have voted to make it into President Trump\u2019s Twitter feed.\n\u201c58,000 non-citizens voted in Texas, with 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote,\u201d Trump wrote, apparently lifting the data from an episode of \u201cFox & Friends.\u201d \u201cThese numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. All over the country, especially in California, voter fraud is rampant. Must be stopped. Strong voter ID!\u201d\nA bit later, he retweeted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who hyped the same numbers with an all-caps intro: \u201cVOTER FRAUD ALERT.\u201d\nPaxton\u2019s presentation of the argument was at least nuanced in a way that Trump\u2019s wasn\u2019t. He pointed out that the 95,000 noncitizens had been identified as such by the Department of Public Safety. In fact, as the world quickly learned, it was even less firm than that.\nThe name matches were weak (as the notice to counties indicated in an all-caps warning of its own), and in short order the state and individual counties started clearing names from the list as people\u2019s statuses were confirmed. As our fact-checkers noted, it\u2019s also more than possible that people on the list obtained citizenship since the time they first presented documentation to the state about their status. In 2016, more than 110,000 people in Texas were granted citizenship. Over the decade from 2007 to 2016, nearly a million people became citizens in the state.\nThis wasn\u2019t a mystery at the time of Trump\u2019s tweet. The Texas Tribune had already written an entire thread on Twitter urging caution after the state\u2019s initial announcement.\n\u201cYou might be seeing headlines or tweets tonight that claim Texas says 58,000 non-citizens have voted in Texas,\u201d the paper wrote on Jan. 25. \u201cThat is not true. That is not what the state has said.\u201d Two days later, watching \u201cFox & Friends,\u201d that\u2019s what the president tweeted anyway.\nTrump and the Tribune are not in the same business. The latter is interested in sharing accurate information about what\u2019s happening in Texas; the former is interested in sharing information, regardless of provenance, that advances his political goals. Often, during his time in politics, that has meant hyping misunderstood, misrepresented or completely untrue claims about voter fraud. Most infamously, Trump championed an apparently entirely fabricated claim of millions of fraudulent votes cast in the 2016 election with zero evidence \u2014 his goal being to cast doubt on the popular vote margin that year, in which he placed second. (That, too, is why he isolated California as being another example of alleged fraud: Hillary Clinton\u2019s wide margin of victory there alone gave her more total votes than Trump.)\nBy now, Americans should be conditioned to applying a wait-and-see approach to claims of rampant in-person voter fraud. Beyond the fact that such claims have been repeatedly investigated without turning up examples of significant fraud, there have been repeated announcements from authority figures (generally agencies led by Republicans) about thousands of questionable votes or voters \u2014 assertions that, in short order, fritter away into dust.\nThere was a similar push in Florida a few years ago, which gained newfound attention with the state\u2019s contested Senate and gubernatorial races last year. Initial news reports suggested that perhaps 200,000 voters in the state might not be citizens; the actual number was 207, one one-thousandth of that number. There, too, an initial list was quickly whittled down to 1 percent of its initial size, and further investigation determined that only a tenth of that group were ineligible.\nA lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania last year claimed that perhaps as many as 100,000 voters in that state were noncitizens ineligible to vote. The state determined that there was actually a pool of only about 11,200 voters about whom there might be questions, a group then narrowed further to about 8,700 before being sent to counties for evaluation. Results of those evaluations do not appear to have been finalized.\nTrump\u2019s narrow loss in New Hampshire in 2016 prompted him to claim that voter fraud had blocked his victory, a claim seemingly bolstered when the state discovered more than 6,000 voters who\u2019d registered with out-of-state driver\u2019s licenses. An investigation found that only 66 of those individuals (many of whom were believed to be college students) didn\u2019t have their identities verified -- and only four people were found to have voted illegally, mostly out of confusion about where to vote.\nLast year, Georgia\u2019s then-secretary of state, Brian Kemp, flagged 53,000 voter registrations that failed the state\u2019s strict \u201cexact match\u201d verification system. Kemp at the time was facing off against Democrat Stacey Abrams for governor. That system was thrown out by a judge shortly before the election. Four years earlier, Kemp had flagged for additional scrutiny 85,000 applications submitted by a voter-registration organization founded by Abrams. Of that total, about 50 were identified as fraudulent.\nThe most recognizable advocate for cracking down on voter registrations was Kansas\u2019s former secretary of state, Kris Kobach. At one point, he claimed that changes to registration laws that he had championed might have prevented as many as 18,000 people from voting illegally \u2014 though after a fervent effort on his part to uproot illegal voting during his tenure, his office could document only 127 ineligible individuals who voted or tried to vote. By the end of 2017, he had obtained nine convictions for voting illegally. One of those convicted was a noncitizen.\nKobach also ran for governor last year but, unlike Kemp, was unsuccessful. In the wake of his departure from the capitol, the state appears to be winding down his more aggressive anti-fraud efforts.\nIt\u2019s the specter of rampant voter fraud that is important from a political perspective. Much of the national political debate is centered on unseen and uncountable threats: fraudulent voters, people being smuggled across the border with Mexico for human trafficking, terrorists swarming into the United States. It seems, at first glance, possible that thousands of people might have voted illegally in Texas, especially for those inclined to take Trump\u2019s warnings about fraud at face value.\nTime and again, we have seen such claims collapse or erode to almost nothing. But the political utility of those initial big numbers is simply too hard for some to resist.",

        "raw_content": "Civilian death toll in 16-year Afghanistan war is staggering\nThe number of civilian deaths in the Afghan war has reached a record high, continuing an almost unbroken trend of nearly a decade of rising casualties.\nThe number of deaths of women and children grew especially fast, primarily due to the Taliban's use of homemade bombs, which caused 40% of civilian casualties in the first six months of 2017, according to UN figures released on July 17.\nChild casualties increased by 9% to 436, compared with the same period last year, and 1,141 children were wounded. Female deaths rose by 23%, with 174 women killed and 462 injured.\nUS and Afghan airstrikes also contributed to the surge in civilian victims, with a 43% increase in casualties from the air, the figures showed.\nAirmen from the 966th Air Expeditionary Squadron Explosive Ordnance Disposal flight set off a controlled detonation at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. (U.S. Air Force photo by Sgt. Sara Csurilla.)\nTadamichi Yamamoto, the head of the UN's Afghanistan mission, said: \"The human cost of this ugly war in Afghanistan \u2013 loss of life, destruction, and immense suffering \u2013 is far too high.\n\"The continued use of indiscriminate, disproportionate, and illegal improvised explosive devices [IEDs] is particularly appalling and must immediately stop.\"\nThe UN attributes about two-thirds of casualties to the Taliban and other anti-government groups such as Islamic State.\nThe worst attack of the war on civilians occurred in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on May 31, when a truck bomb killed at least 150 people, amounting to nearly one-quarter of the 596 civilian deaths from IEDs in 2017.\nA US military cargo truck bypasses a charred vehicle destroyed by a roadside bomb. (Army photo by Spc. Elisebet Freeburg.)\nIn the countryside, bombs carpeting fields or left in abandoned houses have contributed to a steady, slow-grinding toll, with 1,483 civilians injured and many suffering amputations.\nKamel Danesh, 19, a student and avid cricketer, was helping a friend clear a house in Helmand a month ago when he stepped on a mine left by the Taliban.\n\"I didn't hear the blast. I was just knocked over. My mouth filled with dust. I tried to stand up but couldn't,\" Danesh said. \"I looked down and my leg was cut off at the bone. My hand was cut off.\"\nA rickshaw transported him from the suburbs of the provincial capital to Emergency, an Italian-run trauma centre, where medics saved his life.\nMarines from Marine Wing Support Squadron 274 destroy an improvised explosive device cache. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Mark Fayloga)\n\"It was so painful. I prayed to God to take me,\" Danesh said. The provincial cricket association named the Ramadan tournament after him, but he will never play again.\nIn June, the US conducted 389 aerial attacks in Afghanistan, putting this year on a par with 2013, when there were nearly 50,000 US soldiers in the country.\nOf the 232 civilian casualties from 48 aerial operations, 114 were caused by Afghans and 85 by Americans. In one especially deadly operation, the US killed 26 civilians in airstrikes in Sangin district in Helmand.\nWith peace talks elusive, the war is expected to intensify and prolong the violence that has engulfed Afghanistan for four decades.\nDanesh lost his leg to a conflict that began when he was two. As a child, his father and grandfather used to tell him war stories, but \"now it is the young people who are sacrificing\", he said.",

        "raw_content": "What do People Gain by Participating in the Community?\nThe blog this week was written by George T. Martin, President of The Arcadia Institute. One of our cardinal disciplines at The Arcadia Institute is to constantly reflect on what we say and do. For us strategic thinking calls for examining ideas and practices that may be self evident. Perhaps the most fundamental concept for us is \u2018community participation\u2019. It is central to our mission. It is both the end and means of all of our work.\nSo, let us ask ourselves the question, \u2018what do people gain by participating in community\u2019?\nFirst, let\u2019s go back to basics. According to Wikipedia, \u2018community\u2019 comes from two Latin words \u2018com\u2019 (with/together) and \u2018munus\u2019 (gift). The term \u2018participation\u2019 comes from the Latin \u2018pars\u2019 (part) and \u2018capere\u2019 (to take). Thus, community participation is the act of coming together to take part in, or share, our gifts, or common resources and values.\nWe can easily agree that all of us gain from taking part in this thing we all hold dear, this common entity that binds us together. For people with disabilities who are often separated and thereby devalued, taking part in community provides an identity that they do not have alone. It is usually more important to share the common resources with people with disabilities than it is for people without disabilities because they need for them more. Limited capacities for participating often requires assistance and accommodations. Moreover, it is not sufficient just to have access to community. The assurance of participation is necessary.\nThe starting point for our reflection at the Institute is what did we do in relation to what we aimed to do, asking ourselves how did we do it, how well, how much, what does it matter? We know that by ourselves we cannot make community participation a reality for people with disabilities. So, we continue to invite all of you to join us in this mission.\n\u2190 Supporting People so the Community Welcomes and Respects Their GiftsConnect Kalamazoo: Where Everyone Belongs \u2192",

In 2014, one report put the annual shortfall of STEM skills at 40,000.(14) In 2017, the annual shortfall of the right engineering skills is anywhere between 25,500 (level 3) and upto 60000 (over level 4 skills).(1) We need to double, at least, the number of UK based university engineering students.(12)\nWomen and men engineering and technology students express similar levels of intent to work in engineering & technology, but 66.2% of the men and 47.4% of the women 2011 graduates of eng/tech programmes went on to work in engineering and technology.(15)\nWomen Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering: 2% in 2006 and 4% in 2014.(16)\nBUT In a survey of 300 female engineers, 84% were either happy or extremely happy with their career choice.(17)\nAND Engineering students are second only to medics in securing full-time jobs and earning good salaries.(17)\nEngineering is important to the UK: it contributes 26% of our GDP(2) or \u00a3127,580,000,000 to our economy.\nEnabling women to meet their full potential in work could add as much as $28 trillion to annual GDP in 2025.(18)\nIn 2010 nearly 100,000 female STEM graduates were unemployed or economically inactive.(19)\nDiversity matters: companies are 15% more likely to perform better if they are gender diverse.(20)\nDiversity is crucial for innovation: in a global survey, 85% corporate diversity and talent leaders agreed that \u201cA diverse and inclusive workforce is crucial to encouraging different perspectives and ideas that drive innovation\u201d.(21)\nThe National Centre for Universities and Business offer an excellent infographic poster, Talent2030 Dashboard, which shows progress to their targets for women in engineering. In 2017, one of their targets was met: 50% of Physics GCSE students were girls.\nWomen in STEM workforce, WISE Campaign, 2017 https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/resources/2017/10/women-in-stem-workforce-2017\nSkills and Demand in Industry 2015, IET, https://www.theiet.org/factfiles/education/skills2015-page.cfm?\nEngineering UK 2017: The State of Engineering, http://www.engineeringuk.com/media/1355/enguk-report-2017.pdf\nEngineering UK 2015: The State of Engineering, http://www.engineeringuk.com/EngineeringUK2015/EngUK_Report_2015_Interactive.pdf\nQuote from Vince Cable says UK economy hampered by lack of female engineers, The Guardian, 4 Nov 2013, http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/nov/04/vince-cable-uk-economy-female-engineers, accessed Feb 2013\nEngineering Is a man\u2019s field: Changing a stereotype with a lesson from India, Scientific American, 2013 http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/engineering-is-a-mane28099s-field-changing-a-stereotype-with-a-lesson-from-india/ )\nTalent 2030 Dashboard, National Centre for Universities and Business, 2015 http://www.ncub.co.uk/reports/talent-2030-dashboard-2015.html\nFewer British women studying computer science than in 2010, ComputerWorld, July 2915 https://www.computerworlduk.com/careers/uk-demand-for-it-workers-continues-grow-rapidly-3619000/\nFE Data Library, Updated Dec 2016 https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fe-data-library-apprenticeships\nKey headline from the Institute of Physics \u2013 \u2018It\u2019s Different for Girls\u2019 research, 2014 http://www.iop.org/education/teacher/support/girls_physics/page_41593.html\nJoint Council for Qualifications, which represents the seven largest awarding bodies in the UK, from their online sites http://www.jcq.org.uk/examination-results/gcses/2017\nSkills and Demand in Industry 2017 Survey, IET https://www.theiet.org/factfiles/education/skills2017-page.cfm?\nInspiring Growth, CBI/Pearson 2015 Education and Skills Survey, http://news.cbi.org.uk/reports/education-and-skills-survey-2015/education-and-skills-survey-2015/\nImproving diversity in STEM, CaSE, 2014 http://sciencecampaign.org.uk/?p=14146\nDiversity in Engineering, Women\u2019s Engineering Society, September 2014 http://www.wes.org.uk/diversityinengineering\nWhy engineering should be a woman's game, Dame Prof Ann Dowling, BBC News, 3 February 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30876899\nBritain has got talented female engineers, RAEng and Atkins 2013 http://www.raeng.org.uk/publications/other/britains-got-talented-female-engineers\nMcKinsey Global Institute The power of parity, McKinsey & Co, Sept 2015 http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/growth/how_advancing_womens_equality_can_add_12_trillion_to_global_growth\nWomen and men in science, engineering and technology: the UK statistics guide 2010, UKRC https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/uploads/wise/files/archive/final_sept_15th_15.42_ukrc_statistics_guide_2010.pdf\nWhy Diversity Matters article, McKinsey & Co, January 2015 http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/organization/why_diversity_matters\nGlobal Diversity and Inclusion - Fostering innovation through a diverse workforce, Forbes Insights, 2011 http://images.forbes.com/forbesinsights/StudyPDFs/Innovation_Through_Diversity.pdf\nNB All URLs above accessed January 2018\nThe following are other WES pages and external reports that make good reading.\nWES page on number of Women in Science from Highly Cited reports\nDownload the IET's Women in STEM Statistics 2015 from this link\nFour Pillars of Eonomic Justice for Women report from Rosa - the UK fund for women and girls\nForward Ladies Annual National Survey Report 2018\nIf you know of other reports or statistics not referenced by the WES Statistics document or listed above, or you have any query, email info@wes.org.uk, setting subject to WES Statistics.",

But they are also giving me a lot of well wishes as well, and I think they're the one thing I'll miss more than anything, but I am going away with some very happy memories of The Party Shop.\"\n\"We've been a strong supporter of Weymouth Carnival of many years, campaigning to get the floats back. We've been highlighted on TV, supply costumes for the series of Come Dine With Me, which was filmed locally. We've also had Zane from One Direction and Perry from Little Mix as customers, with people camping outside the shop to find out when they were coming back.\"\nAnd Jan had some nice words to say about Wessex FM.\n\"Wessex FM have always supported us in lots of things we've done, for charity events, and I've always said when you turn on Wessex FM is like turning on a friend, it really is true.\"\nBrightHouse to close in Weymouth",

Please write and tell us where you found this bottle.\u201d\nAccording to the signature, the bottle came from a class at Chapelpark School, Forfar, Angus, Scotland.\nThe Huennigers wrote back to tell them where the bottle was found and about the Sept. 10 hurricane.\n\u201cYour message was found in Key Largo, Florida, USA, on Sept. 29, 2017,\u201d the couple responded. \u201cHope this was a fun experience for your class.\u201d\nThe Huennigers requested that the recipients of their letter write back and let them know when the bottle was sent.\nLittle did they know that Chapelpark Primary School had closed in 2008 and that the bottle was sent sometime in the 1980s.\nFiona Cargill, the teacher of the class who sent the bottle, is now retired, but the postman found a way to get it to the former school teacher.\nDo you think the other bottles will be found?\n\u201cWe forgot to put a date on the letter, but would you believe it, that bottle was sent on its journey more than 30 years ago,\u201d Cargill responded to the couple in a letter on Oct. 23. \u201cThe pupils who took part in this will now be in their mid-thirties!\u201d\nCargill led the activity with her students while they were studying pirates, according to WSNV.\n\u201cWe decided that perhaps pirates would send messages in bottles,\u201d she told reporters over the phone.\nThe class had covered bottles with \u201csticky plastic to keep them from getting wet\u201d and then had a fisherman take them to the North Sea.\nRuth Huenniger was surprised at how long the bottle had been in the sea.\nRELATED: 3 Dead, More Than 170 Injured by Tornado in Havana\n\u201cIt looked too new to be 30 years old,\u201d she said. \u201cIt looked like a Coke bottle, and it had no barnacles on it.\u201d\n\u201cIt\u2019s just amazing how things happen and how it could get all the way here from all the way over there.\u201d\nAccording to Cargill, there are at least three more bottles in the sea waiting to be discovered by the next passerby.\nTags: Education, Florida, Scotland",

Could be just a stupid mistake of some kind. What\u2019s clear is that two New York City men are in the hospital after one of them violently subdued a masked robber who turned out to be his own nephew.\nAccording to WPIX, a 57-year-old occupant of a house in Jamaica, Queens, was expecting the delivery of a package last Friday morning and responded to a knock on the door. He did find someone outside holding a box, but that individual was wearing a mask and forced his way into the house in an attempted robbery.\nThe occupant, who has not been identified in news reports, fended off the assailant with a machete in a battle that left the attacker in critical condition and the defender in serious condition, KTVI reported. When the attacker\u2019s mask was removed, he was revealed as the occupant\u2019s 25-year-old nephew, Kevin Henriksen. It was, in fact, Henriksen\u2019s birthday.\nNews reports give no indication of what was in the box. Perhaps the nephew wished to exchange an unsatisfactory gift for a more appealing one.\nHenriksen, described by shocked neighbors as \u201ca very nice person,\u201d was hospitalized with severe skull injuries. His uncle\u2019s injuries have not been specified. Henriksen will be charged with burglary, assault and criminal possession of a firearm.\nIf the neighbors knew the assailant, he must surely have been familiar with his uncle\u2019s house, which would rule out a coincidental excursion. But robbing a close relative in his own home, even while wearing a mask, is pretty bold. To go further than this would be irresponsible speculation.\nShare this on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you thought of this weird incident.\nWhat do you think of this weird episode?

If your relationship is struggling, you\u2019re in the process of a divorce or have just gotten through one, it can be even more difficult. The image of balancing a scale is all about taking something away from one side and giving it to the other. You may be thinking, \u201cHow can I take more away from work or my kids? I can\u2019t! I want to give to them more!\u201d And, you\u2019re likely also feeling, \u201cI want to live passionately. I want to be happy.\u201d Well, believe it or not, most successful and happy people haven\u2019t always been that way; they went through hard times to get to where they are. And despite those hard times, they\u2019d do it all over again to get to where they are.\nHere are a few secrets to finding your sanity, and better \u2014 your happiness.\nSecret 1: I choose me, an imperfect but lovable me, a lot more than I used to.\nSelfish is not a bad word. How can taking care of yourself be bad? Many women are nurturers. They care about the quality of their work, and take responsibility seriously. A nurturer will rarely be able to be the kind of person that ignores the needs of others, but being selfless doesn\u2019t mean ignoring your own needs. A happy nurturer is more productive at work, more present with her kids, and more in tune with her relationships. And your kids will survive your fallibility as a parent. In fact, they will thrive because your honesty about your mistakes allows them be fallible, too.\nSecret 2: Downtime. Kids need it, and we do, too.\nA happy mom and a happy marriage is more important than having a family dinner every single night or having the kids in every extracurricular activity they ask about. If you feel like a taxi driver, stop. Say no. Kids should give their parents time and space to be just adults and parents should give kids time and space to be just kids.\nSecret 3: Happiness starts with appreciation.\nNotice the things that people do that make your life easier, even if it is stuff they are supposed to do. Saying thank you and meaning it changes everything. At work thank people for emptying the trash, making a pot of coffee, turning in paperwork on time and correct. Thank people for their support and trust in your ability, for their doing their job. Thank your kids for doing their chores and teach them to thank you for doing yours. Thank your family for all that they do. If you do this with love and generosity and you will be amazed at how much goodwill you will generate in and for yourself. Appreciation in practice opens the door to happiness and to living your life with passion whether or not it is always perfectly balanced!\nA mother of two, K.L. McLoughlin has perfected the art of talking to kids about sex.

        "raw_content": "5 Tax Tips for Divorced Couples\nFive Important Topics about Taxes and Divorced Couples with Children\nDealing with your taxes while going through a divorce can be a nightmare, especially when there are kids involved. Don\u2019t make the nightmare worse by avoiding important issues. Even if you plan on consulting a tax attorney or advisor, being educated about the basics of divorce, child custody, and the IRS can save you time, money and aggravation. There are five topics you should understand as you move forward. They are:\n1. The difference between alimony and child support.\nIn terms of taxation, there is a big difference between alimony and child support. Alimony is considered tax deductible for the payer and is considered taxable income for the payee. According to attorney Violet Woodhouse, CFP, for alimony to be deductible, the payer and the recipient of alimony cannot file a joint return. Child support, on the other hand, is not considered taxable income by the spouse who receives it, nor is it tax deductible for the spouse who pays.\n2. Qualifying for dependent child tax exemption benefit.\n\u201cWhich parent receives the benefit of the tax exemption for a dependent child is also subject to IRS regulations,\u201d\u009d says Daniel Sitarz, an attorney and author of numerous books on divorce and legal issues. The parent with physical custody for more than half the year has the right to the exemption as long as: the parents are divorced, separated or living apart for at least the final six months of the tax year; both spouses together provided more than half the total support of the child; at least one spouse had custody of the child for more than half the tax year; the spouses have not agreed in writing that the other has the right to claim the dependent exemption and have not filed a written IRS waiver releasing the claim of exemption.\n3. Filing as head of household.\nAccording to Mimi E. Lyster, policy analyst with the California Statewide Office of Family Court Services and a Practitioner Member of the Academy of Family Mediators, only the parent who has physical custody (meaning more than half the time) is able to file as head of household. \u201cIf legal and physical custody is divided 50-50, neither can file as head of household because the dependent child resides with neither parent for more than 50 percent of the year.\u201d\u009d\n4. Claiming child care credit.\nOnly custodial parents can claim child care tax credits. In her book, Child Custody: Building Parenting Agreements That Work, Lyster states: \u201cIn general, employed custodial parents of a dependent child under the age of 13 are eligible for the credit for child care expenses incurred so that the parent can earn an income. As the custodial parent\u2019s income increases, however, the credit phases out.\u201d\u009d Consult the current year tax table, specifically in publication 503, to determine credit amounts.\n5. IRS publications for divorced parents.\nAccording to Dawn Bradley Berry, J.D. and legal consultant, the IRS has several reference publications for those going through separation and/or divorce. Publication 504 is more of a general reference for divorce issues, including alimony, filing status, retirement, property settlement information, exemptions and legal fees. Publication 503 discusses child and dependent care expenses. The IRS has these forms on its website.\nAs quoted from the current 503 page \u201cChild of divorced or separated parents,\u201d even if you cannot claim your child as a dependent, he or she is treated as your qualifying person if:\n1. The child was under age 13 or was physically or mentally not able to care for himself or herself, and:\n2. You were the child\u2019s custodial parent (the parent with whom the child lived for the greater part of 2006). The noncustodial parent cannot treat the child as a qualifying person even if that parent is entitled to claim the child as a dependent under the special rules for a child of divorced or separated parents. The Special Rule for a Child of Divorced or Separated Parents is as follows (unless there is a multiple support agreement): The child received more than half of his/her support for the year from at least one parent (not including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families); the child was in custody of one or both parents for at least half the year; the custodial parent agrees not to claim an exemption or a pre-1985 divorce allows the noncustodial parent to claim the child as a dependent.\nThe IRS offers many resources for those seeking help with tax questions.

Sponsored by KeyBank, the business competition pitted teams of three high school students against each other as they attempted to manage a virtual company in a competitive marketplace.\nCEO of Winxnet Chris Claudio applauded the participants for their involvement in the business competition, and shared advice on how to become a valuable leader; \"Have humility and respect for your peers, lead by example, be willing to listen, and don't forget to give back to your community and to those who helped get you where you are.\"\nMost business owners don't normally think they will be a victim of a natural disaster, not until an unforeseen crisis happens. These disasters are not just catastrophic events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornados but also cybersecurity attacks or even equipment failure. In today's world, it's imperative that companies and organizations prepare for these types of events by creating disaster recovery plans that detail actions to take and processes to following to resume mission-critical functions quickly and without major losses in revenue or business.\nFirst and foremost, what is disaster recovery? Disaster recovery is a plan for restoring and accessing your data in the event of a disaster that destroys all or a part of your organizations' resources. Regardless of the organization's size, when an unforeseen event takes place and causes day-to-day operations to come to a halt, a company will need to recover as quickly as possible to ensure they'll continue providing services to clients and customers. Downtime is one of the bigger IT expenses that any business can face.\nLAWRENCE, Massachusetts - Winxnet, an IT outsourcing and consulting firm headquartered in Portland, Maine, announced their Massachusetts office location has moved to the Riverwalk Properties in Lawrence, Massachusetts.\n\"Winxnet is thrilled to be a part of the Riverwalk community,\" said Denevan O'Connell, Senior Vice President of Massachusetts. \"Their offices are state of the art and filled with some of the top businesses in Merrimack Valley.\"\nWinxnet's Massachusetts new office location is 280 Merrimack Street, Suite 500 in Lawrence Massachusetts.\n\u25ba Junior Achievement Hosts Statewide Business Simulation Competition\n\u25ba Winxnet Massachusetts Office Move\nBill McKernan - Senior Account Executive\nBill McKernan joins Winxnet as a Senior Account Executive in the Lawrence, Massachusetts office.

        "raw_content": "Here's how you can get a free iPhone 8\nYou don't have to pay the retail price of $699\nNOTE: These deals were valid as of Monday, Sept. 25, but could change at any time. Check with your carrier for updates.\nWith the new iPhone 8 now on sale and the much anticipated iPhone X coming soon, many of us would love to trade up, but are worried about the cost.\nThat's why we found some great ways to get a new iPhone 8 without spending a fortune.\nThe new phone retails for $699 , with many carriers offering it for a $24-a-month lease over 30 months (that's two-and-a-half years if math is not your thing), or $29-a-month over two years. But you can do better than that if you shop around, or know what to ask.\nDemand slow this time\nRemember the days of long lines, and a rush on the Apple store when a new iPhone debuted?\nThat didn't happen this time with the iPhone 8 , as true fans decided to wait for the groundbreaking iPhone X in another month or so.\nThat means just one thing: You can already find good deals on the somewhat unloved new iPhone 8.\nTime Magazine analyzed the deals and says Sprint fired the first shot with what may be the best deal of all:\nA new iPhone 8 is free with trade in of an iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung Galaxy S8+ or Samsung Galaxy Note8. You can get this deal when you sign up for an 18-month Sprint Flex lease and wireless plan . Sprint says it regularly charges $29.17 per month for the iPhone 8, but that amount will be credited back to the customer.\nCurrently, Sprint is the only carrier offering that deal.\nVerizon, AT&T and T-Mobile\nVerizon, AT&T and T-Mobile will give you a $300 credit if you trade in certain older phones.\nHowever, Time's analysis claims that Verizon's iPhone 8 deal is the weakest of the bunch, as it applies only to newer phone trade-ins, such as an iPhone 6S or newer. With older models, you get just $200 or $100 credit.\nIt found T-Mobile's offer is more generous, as you get $300 to trade in an iPhone 6 or anything newer.\nAT&T, meantime, has a buy one, get one free offer, with one catch: You must have DirecTV or AT&T U-verse TV service to qualify. AT&T is also offering a $300 or $200 credit when you trade in certain older devices.\nDeals not as good as last year\nNone of these deals is as good as last year's iPhone 7 offers.\nLast year, most carriers would give you a free iPhone 7 with trade in of an iPhone 6 the first month: only Sprint comes close this time.\nWant or need a cheap phone right away? Your best bet is buying an older model, like an iPhone 6s, iPhone 7 or the iPhone SE, where stores are slashing prices. All still enjoy full Apple support.\nBottom line: For the best deal, buy an older model iPhone, as long as it runs iOS 11, the most recent operating system (which means you should avoid buying an iPhone 5, no matter how cheap).\nIf you want the closest thing to a free phone (realizing that nothing is truly free when it comes to iPhones), then consider Sprint.",

        "raw_content": "Coburn Dukehart/Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism\nGov.-Elect Evers Holding Forums Around State To Formulate First Budget\nDemocrat Hints He Might Pursue Legal Options To Stop Lame-Duck Session Legislation\nGov.-elect Tony Evers is hitting the road to hear from Wisconsinites about the upcoming state budget. He began a four-city tour in Green Bay on Tuesday night.\nAbout 230 people turned out for the forum on the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay campus on Tuesday. The attendees split into groups talking about their concerns on priorities for state spending. Breakout discussions focused on issues like the workforce; health care; child care and public schools; criminal justice reform; and the environment. Evers and Lt. Gov.-elect Mandela Barnes sat in on some of the discussions.\nA draft budget is due by the last Tuesday in January, which in 2019 will be Jan. 29. However, the Legislature can grant an extension and postpone the deadline.\nEvers told reporters that the budget is an obvious priority and that his team \"decided early on after the election to make sure we are reaching out to them. As I said, the difference between this type of input and what we had a week or so ago in the (state) Capitol is stark.\"\nPatty Murray/WPR\nThe Democrat was referencing the so-called lame-duck legislation that passed by the Republican-held Legislature, which sought to limit his powers. Evers criticized GOP lawmakers for passing the bills \"in the middle of the night\" with what he called \"very little public input.\"\nAmong the things the legislation would prevent is the Evers administration from withdrawing from a multi-state lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act; limit early voting; and reduce Evers' influence over the state's job-creation agency, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., until 2019. The measures also put limits on the powers of incoming Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul.\nGov. Scott Walker hasn't indicated whether he'll sign or veto all or part of the legislative package. Evers reiterated previous comments that he will consider legal options if and when Walker signs the bills into law.\n\"It was 141 pages of hot mess. And to say, 'Oh gosh, this one is more important than that,' I cannot say. I think the optics around it is bad and the content of it is bad,\" Evers said.\nThe remaining dates for the budget listening sessions are:\nWednesday, Dec. 12, noon to 1:30 p.m., Wausau, Wausau Labor Temple, 318 South 3rd Ave.\nTuesday, Dec. 18, noon to 1:30 p.m., La Crosse, American Legion Post 52, 711 6th St. South,\nWednesday, Dec. 19, 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., Milwaukee, United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County Volunteer Center, 200 W. Pleasant St.\nEditor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the date for the listening session in Wausau. It is Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2018.\nEvers Wants Property Tax Bills To Show Cost Of Voucher Schools\nDemocratic Win In Northeastern State Senate District Could Signal Change Ahead For Legislature\nPolitical Analyst: Gov.-Elect Evers Can Help Make Political Districts Fairer",

(Raphael Pires / WUFT News)\nA lack of exercise and high consumption of junk food are often associated with the American way of life. To some, these habits can be costly health risks.\nThough life expectancy has improved and infant mortality has decreased for all Americans, some minorities still have higher risks of preventable diseases, death and disability than non-minorities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.\nAnne Packham, a marketplace project coordinator at the Primary Care Access Network in Orlando, Florida described cases of Hispanic immigrants who come to America in a relatively healthy state, but as they assimilate into what are commonly known as American customs, they become more prone to health risks, she said. This phenomenon has also been described by researchers as the \u201cLatino mortality paradox. \u201c Packham stressed that because many immigrants of ethnic minorities have lower incomes and therefore may struggle to pay for high out-of-pocket medical expenses, it\u2019s important to give them the opportunity to sign up for affordable health care.\nEarlier this week, the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida and the Mobile Outreach Clinic held an event at the Cone Park Library in Gainesville, Florida where people with low incomes could get medical care and were offered the opportunity to sign-up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act which does not include the Medicare supplement Plan G, unfortunately.\n\u201cGetting health coverage is really important,\u201d said Tiffen Tapia, a health care navigator for the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida. \u201cThere are still a lot of people in [the] Gainesville area who don\u2019t have health coverage.\u201d\nEFOF is an agency for epilepsy programs and services sponsored by the state of Florida, and health care navigators are trained and licensed to help people go through the health care application process.\nAccording to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Florida has the highest numbers of people signed up for health insurance during the Health Insurance Marketplace Open Enrollment period with approximately 450,000 people signed up through the end of November.\nTapia said another reason it\u2019s important for EFOF to go out to underprivileged communities is because there are some people who don\u2019t own computers or might not have the skills or knowledge of how to use them to sign up for health insurance.\nAt the event, people had the opportunity to sign up for a time to get help with their application or use one of the computers on site to fill it out with the necessary help.\n\u201cA lot of people don\u2019t have the funds to see a doctor or get the right medical care [\u2026] We\u2019re trying to prevent that and help people get the coverage that they need, hopefully at an affordable price,\u201d Tapia said.\nThe navigators agreed when it comes to health, it\u2019s better to be prepared.\n\u201cPreventing is much better than reacting to an illness,\u201d Tapia said\nThere will be another event Dec. 12 sponsored by the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida and the Gainesville Links at the computer lab in the Santa Fe College Center for Innovation and Economic Development.\nThe deadline to sign up for new insurance or make a change in coverage is Dec. 16.\nFlorida Gainesville Medicaid Orlando Santa Fe College The Centers wuft news\t2015-12-10\nTags Florida Gainesville Medicaid Orlando Santa Fe College The Centers wuft news\nAbout Raphael Pires\nRaphael is a reporter for WUFT News who may be contacted by calling 352-392-6397 or emailing news @wuft.org\nPrevious Florida Springs Council Says State\u2019s Plan To Fix Silver Springs Is Way Off\nNext Providing Tracking Devices To Children With Autism in Putnam County",

It was held by a mixed force until 27 April, when the New Zealanders took it over. A Turkish attempt to take the ridge on 30 June was repulsed by the 8th and 9th Australian Light Horse.\nThe cemetery was made during the occupation and consists of two plots separated by 18 metres of ground, through which a trench ran.\nThere are now 92 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War buried or commemorated in this cemetery. 16 of the burials are unidentified and special memorials commemorate 26 soldiers known or believed to be buried in the cemetery.",

His family says Emmanuel has a broken leg, collapsed lung, three broken ribs, a concussion, a broken scapula and a dislocated shoulder. The incident happened at about 7:40 p.m. Wednesday in the intersection of South Elm-Eugene streets and West Lakefield Drive. Investigators say Gomez appeared to be walking a dog when he was struck by a car.Gomez was taken to a local hospital in critical but stable condition. The dog died as a result of the crash.The suspect is believed to be driving a dark-colored, older model, two-door coupe. Investigators say the driver drove away from the scene after the crash. The Greensboro Police Department Crash Reconstruction Unit is conducting this ongoing investigation.Melissa Gomez, Emmanuel's older sister, recalls the moments she found what what happened on Wednesday night.\u201cI was in shock but the first thing is that he was checked by the nurses and all they could say is that they had a broken leg, they didn\u2019t say anything else so my dad calls me back and he says, \u2018He\u2019s okay, it\u2019s just a broken leg,\u2019 so an hour later I called him back and he tells me he ended up having to go to surgery because his leg was so bad. He got to the emergency room needing surgery urgently or else he could have gotten his leg amputated and then after he woke up there were way many more things that happened,\u201d said Melissa Gomez.\u201cIt\u2019s really hard for him. Every time he wakes up and he\u2019s able to talk for two or three seconds, all he can say is that he feels week and everything hurts.\u201cI\u2019ll be here as long as he needs me but it hurts, it hurts a lot.\"She says Emmanuel was walking his eight-week-old puppy, Azura, when the accident happened. Melissa Gomez also says her brother's build possibly helped prevent him from sustaining more severe injuries.\u201cOne of the things that is helping him is that he is young and he\u2019s strong because if that wouldn\u2019t have been the case I\u2019m told it could have been worse and he could have even died so he\u2019s going to pull through but it\u2019s going to take a lot of months to recover for him to get up, especially with the scapula on one side with a dislocated shoulder and then a broken leg, I mean he\u2019s literally has got nothing to walk upright so he\u2019s going to be in a wheelchair for a long time,\u201d Melissa Gomez said.Family members say Emmanuel Gomez is home schooled and loves to work out.\u201cHe was thinking about getting his diploma early and trying to get a job as soon as he turned 16 which is in about two months or three months but that\u2019s apparently not going to happen,\u201d said Melissa Gomez.Now, Emmanuel's family is pleading with anyone in the community with information about this hit-and-run to come forward and tell police what they know.\u201cPeople are like well \u2018He just didn\u2019t see him.\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Well if he didn\u2019t see him, then he could have stopped.

        "title": "Ashley Jensen was born to run | XTERRA",
        "raw_content": "Ashley Jensen was born to run\nAshley Jensen grew up in Rhode Island in a house that was built in 1717. She and her family lived on five acres that were home to a pony, sheep, goats, and an old-fashioned sledding hill that attracted all the neighborhood kids when it snowed.\n\u201cI was always running in the fields. My brother and sister and I spent most of our time in the fields playing with the pony,\u201d remembers Jensen, 33.\n\u201cI got into running by running with our pony or playing a game with my sister where one of us was the horse catcher and one of us was the horse. Our parents had to drag us back into the house, even in the winter.\u201d\nThis early experience of running through the New England hills made Jensen strong, tough, and happy. Running wasn\u2019t something she had to do to get fit. It was something she felt born to do.\n\u201cIn elementary school we had a mile run and I came in second. One boy beat me, but it was really fun and it felt easy. I had this moment of, \u2018Oh wow, I can do this,\u201d said Jensen.\nAs the first runner in her family, Jensen\u2019s parents weren\u2019t quite sure how to nurture her talent, but they took her to the USATF Hershey Track meets and Junior Olympic National Cross Country races in addition to her high school races.\nWhen Jensen realized that her hometown school \u2013 Providence College \u2013 had one of the top distance running programs in the country, she decided to apply. After she met head coach Ray Treacy - who is one of the country\u2019s most successful collegiate cross-country coaches \u2013 Jensen was all in.\n\u201cAt first I was afraid because Ray is one of the best. But he took me under his wing and from that point on, I was in the top seven on the team. We were third at the NCAA Division I championship in 2003 and it was just a great experience to have that with my team.\u201d\nAs someone who grew up running over the New England hills, Jensen\u2019s first love was quite naturally, cross-country. While she was already at home on the trails, Jensen soon became enamored with the team aspect of distance running. Even though every runner races alone, she and her teammates trained together and supported each other during races.\nJensen keeps this sense of camaraderie, even to this day, even though she has no official team. Instead, she views every competitor as part of her tribe. Recently, before a race in Miami, Jensen struck up a friendship with three other runners from Minnesota, while they were waiting in line for the Port-o-Potties.\n\u201cWe were all trying to find the shortest line for the bathroom,\u201d said Jensen, \u201cAnd then we started talking about what pace we were going to run. During the race, we encouraged each other, even though we each wanted to win. That\u2019s how it is. In the race, you lay it all out there, but after the race, we all took an Uber back to South Beach together.\u201d\nJensen explains that being a ruthless competitor on the course doesn\u2019t mean she can\u2019t be incredibly supportive of her competition, even if it means that she gives them an advantage. As a former team captain of the Providence Cross Country team, she is still drawn to lead and to encourage.\n\u201cI can\u2019t pass someone without giving them a thumbs up or some form of encouragement,\u201d said Jensen. \u201cAfter a race, my boyfriend will ask, \u2018Did you give someone advice, and did they end up beating you?\u2019 But hey, what goes around comes around.\u201d\nCurrently, Jensen is training for the Boston Marathon on April 16th, under her college coach, Ray Treacy. As a New Englander, this race means a great deal to Jensen, who was devastated by the 2013 bombing, even though she didn\u2019t race that year.\n\u201cI had former teammates running that year and I was texting everyone to see if they were OK. When you finish a race and you\u2019re in the corral and you\u2019ve laid it all out there, you are exhausted. You are either celebrating or you are disappointed and analyzing what to do for next time. To commit an act of violence where people are so vulnerable is just awful. It\u2019s unacceptable.\u201d\nJensen\u2019s mother asked if she was afraid to run the race after what happened before, but Jensen said she feels the opposite.\n\u201cI\u2019m not afraid. I want to go out there. Boston is strong, and runners are tough. This tragic event brought everyone together and made it that much more important to keep running and show unity.\u201d\nAfter Boston though, it\u2019s all about the trails for Jensen, who prefers to run in nature, the way she did as a kid. In fact, when Jensen needs a break from competition, she hits the dirt with her dog as her running buddy.\n\u201cI was done with college eligibility in the spring of 2007 and I needed a break,\u201d said Jensen. \u201cIt was just so nice to have a normal, everyday life. I still ran every day, but I didn\u2019t think, \u2018Oh I have to get my workout in.\u2019 Instead, I ran on the trails every day with my dog after work. She could do her thing and I could do mine. I just love being out in nature, the challenge of the hills, and the terrain. The trails are just more fun.\u201d\nJensen put competing on the back burner until she saw an announcement for the 2008 XTERRA Trail Run World Championship.\n\u201cI had been to Hawaii twice with my family and I fell in love with it. My parents went there for their honeymoon and it was such a special place for all of us. We went to Kualoa Ranch and rode horses, and I thought that it would be an amazing place to run. I called two of my friends and told them, \u2018I\u2019m going to run a race in Hawaii, but let\u2019s all go and have fun.\u2019\u201d\nHer first year, Jensen was 8th overall despite only light training.\n\u201cI just loved the course at XTERRA Worlds. It was quite the experience. The terrain was so beautiful and that race is responsible for my love of trail running today. Prior to XTERRA I had only done road races and cross country courses.\u201d\nJensen returned to the XTERRA World Championship in 2015 and finished fifth against a tough field that included XTERRA Trail Run World champs Kimber Maddox and Polina Carlson. She returned again in 2016 but had a more difficult time.\n\u201cI felt just awful. I remember running up that massive hill and thinking I might just pass out. It went from trying to finish in the top seven to just trying to survive.\u201d\nThis year, Jensen is out for redemption, not just in Boston, but in Hawaii. After Boston, she is hopping off the roads and onto the dirt with the USATF Mountain Running Championship in early July and the USATF 30K Trail Championship later that month. In early November, she will run in the USATF Marathon Trail Championship, which she believes will be a good precursor to the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship in December.\n\u201cIt\u2019s been fascinating to see how Ashley has handled both road racing and trail running,\u201d said her coach, Ray Treacy. \u201cHer marathon fitness will help her in a big way to achieve her goals on the trails.\u201d\nJensen is more of a strength runner than a speed runner, which will serve her well on the tough hills of Kualoa Ranch, where she went horseback riding years before with her family.\n\u201cXTERRA is the best race I\u2019ve ever run in terms of the people and the challenges. When you are running that course and come around the turn and look out a Chinaman\u2019s Hat, you are in so much pain because you are going up this massive hill, but then you look out at the ocean, and you remember you are in paradise.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "Can regulating Facebook and Twitter stop the spread of fake news?\nA report by UK MPs has rejected the idea that tech companies are merely platforms.\nBy Jack Schofield for Jack's Blog | July 31, 2018 -- 10:56 GMT (03:56 PDT) | Topic: Government : UK\nFacebook: Cambridge Analytica took a lot more data than first thought\nThe company said it will also inform users if their information was \"improperly shared\" with the data firm.\nThe British parliament's select committee for digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) has released an 89-page interim report (PDF) which warns that social media companies need to take more responsibility for the content posted by users.\nThe final report is expected later this year.\nWhile the cross-party committee was initially following up the Cambridge Analytica scandal, its report ranges wider; it is also hoping to influence other countries.\nThe committee rejects the idea that Facebook, Twitter, Google etc are merely \"platforms\" who are not responsible for their content.\nThe report said that social media companies cannot hide behind the claim of being merely a 'platform', and by claiming that they are tech companies and have no role themselves in regulating the content of their sites.\n\"That is not the case; they continually change what is and is not seen on their sites, based on algorithms and human intervention,\" it said. However, the report notes that social media companies are also significantly different from the traditional model of a publisher, which commissions, pays for, edits and takes responsibility for the content it disseminates.\nThe report said: \"We recommend that a new category of tech company is formulated, which tightens tech companies' liabilities, and which is not necessarily either a 'platform' or a 'publisher'. We anticipate that the Government will put forward these proposals in its White Paper later this year and hope that sufficient time will be built in for our Committee to comment on new policies and possible legislation.\"\nIt goes on: \"It is our recommendation that this process should establish clear legal liability for the tech companies to act against harmful and illegal content on their platforms. This should include both content that has been referred to them for takedown by their users, and other content that should have been easy for the tech companies to identify for themselves.\"\nUnder the Communications Act 2003, Ofcom is the regulatory body that enforces content standards for TV and radio in the UK, which includes \"rules relating to accuracy and impartiality.\"\nOfcom's chief executive Sharon White said that, in the autumn, she plans to release an outline of how such regulation could work.\nThe government's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) already intends to fine Facebook \u00a3500,000 \"for lack of transparency and security issues relating to the harvesting of data constituting breaches of the first and seventh data protection principles\" (ie Cambridge Analytica). The report notes that under the new GDPR, the fine could have been $315 million.\nSEE: IT pro's guide to GDPR compliance (free PDF)\nSo far, the various social media platforms have not really helped the committee. Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg refused to appear before it, and the report says: \"Facebook consistently responded to questions by giving the minimal amount of information possible, and routinely failed to offer information relevant to the inquiry, unless it had been expressly asked for. It provided witnesses who have been unwilling or unable to give full answers to the Committee's questions.\"\nThe committee's chair, Damian Collins MP, noted in his third letter to Twitter boss Jack Dorsey: \"I'm afraid that the failure to obtain straight answers to these questions, whatever they might be, is simply increasing concerns about these issues, rather than reassuring people.\"\nRegulating social networks would no doubt be expensive for both sides, though the government could cover the cost of regulation through a tax on tech companies and through fines.\nAnd while the international nature of social networking could be a problem, Germany has already shown that it can be done. In January, the German government passed the Network Enforcement Act (NetzDG), which \"forces tech companies to remove hate speech from their sites within 24 hours, and fines them 20 million Euros if it is not removed.\"\nThe act has been criticized for potentially restricting free speech: against that, the future of Western democracy could be at stake.\nGoogle, Facebook hit with serious GDPR complaints: Others will be soon\nFacebook nemesis Max Schrems is behind the first challenges to US giants under new European data privacy law.\nGDPR attacks: First Google, Facebook, now activists go after Apple, Amazon, LinkedIn\nJust days after the new law comes into force, privacy activists add more tech giants to their list of GDPR targets.\nGeneral Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, is coming. Here's what it means, how it'll impact individuals and businesses - and how to prepare for it.\nFacebook makes GDPR push with new data privacy settings\nHere's how the social media giant is updating privacy policies ahead of the EU's new data law.\nFacebook moving 1.5 billion users away from GDPR protection\nFacebook is making changes that will prevent non-European users previously under European laws from being protected by the General Data Protection Regulation.\nTech Industry United Kingdom EU Security Innovation CXO",

        "raw_content": "Home\u00bbArchives \u00bb Lost Planet: Extreme Condition\nComments Off on Lost Planet: Extreme Condition\nby Kenny Lindsay\nCapcom\u2019s latest, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is a futuristic shooter that takes its player through an ice-filled battle of survival on a newly discovered snow planet called EDN III. While attempting to settle on this frigid rock, humans soon discover that they are not alone, and are accompanied by local and very hostile aliens called Akrid, and it becomes apparent that life will be impossible unless the Akrid are wiped out. Defenseless, the planet is evacuated, but not before discovering a secret thermal energy source that lies within the giant bugs; suddenly there is hope.\nA band of soldiers are formed and return to do battle not only with the Akrid, but the elusive Snow Pirates who stayed behind during the original evacuation. After a fierce battle and witnessing his father\u2019s death, Wayne \u2013 our hero \u2013 is discovered barely alive by a small group of survivors within the icy wasteland and is nurtured back to health with only the memory of his father and the great beast that killed him. And, of course, he\u2019s hell-bent on revenge.\nIt\u2019s a pretty solid storyline for a shooter and if I could describe it in one sentence it would be, Super Troopers goes to the Hoth System of Star Wars, minus the blood and bad language. Not far into the game a conspiracy begins to unfold that involves a big corporation \u2013 commonly known as the Man \u2013 who selfishly intends to transform the planet into a more hospitable living environment at the cost of many innocent lives. Wayne now has to deal with the unfolding plans of the evil corporation and regain his identity while battling Akrid and Snow Pirates to ensure the survival of the human race.\nWayne is equipped with a grappling hook and a strange apparatus attached to his arm that seems to have some sort of link to his loss of memory. Its secret is revealed at the end of the game. As usual, there are many different weapons to be discovered throughout the journey, the best of which are the VS (Vital Suits), that are very similar to our beloved Mech Warriors of earlier games and classic Japanimation flicks. There are handfuls to be discovered, from cumbersome construction vehicles that have been modified for war to advanced military prototypes that are more nimble and destructive and are almost essential for advancement. There are also mining tanks that transform into upright walking robots, snow speeders, and lightweight VS that keep this title interesting.\nBecause of the sub-zero temperatures, the survival suit you are wearing is constantly being depleted of energy, so it\u2019s absolutely necessary to continually pick up the thermal signatures that are left behind by the victims you take down. Thermal energy can also be found by blowing up barrels and old abandoned vehicles.\nThe dialog during the cut scenes is at least bearable and luckily there are a few hotties in the picture to warm things up a bit. The detailed landscapes are absolutely breathtaking and the designers of the game really portray the planet\u2019s chilly and dangerous environment well. I can\u2019t help but wonder if this title would have done as well had it been released in the middle of summer as opposed to January.\nThe game play is crisp, accurate and has a decent online campaign \u2013 provided that you can find a group of well-rounded people to play with. Which reminds me: Most of us who play games online have experienced that one player who is a traitor and kills everyone on his team and turns into the highest priority target; last week my team had one. Soon after singling this guy out, he couldn\u2019t get but a few shots off before I\u2019d plant one in the back of his head and his frustration was showing through his comments. Eventually he was threatening to come to my house and beat my ass. I\u2019ve been playing online since my first 56K modem and this was a first.\nSetting rotten online players aside, Lost Planet is a great game and is one that will more than likely be replayed again and again. It falls under the shooter genre, but it could easily stand in the adventure category as well. Quite often the camera angle will switch to a third person point of view, giving a great sense of space and the massiveness of the creatures and VS.\nKudos to Capcom on this one, and I hope they continue the good work.\nTo comment on this column, email Kenny Lindsay at kenny@yesweekly.com.",

        "raw_content": "Home\u00bbArchives \u00bb Smithfield living high on the hog thanks to cheap labor\nSmithfield living high on the hog thanks to cheap labor\nComments Off on Smithfield living high on the hog thanks to cheap labor\nIf you needed any evidence that we are at a moral, economic and political impasse over immigration, just review this month\u2019s walkout by more than 1,000 workers at Smithfield Packing\u2019s hog slaughtering plant in Tar Heel. It\u2019s the latest collision between an industry built on cheap labor, a dysfunctional immigration system and homeland security policies drafted in a reality-proof bubble.\nProtesting immigration screenings that resulted in the firing of 50 workers and put 600 others on notice that their information was suspect, the mass walkout and subsequent picketing at Tar Heel is being billed as a fight over illegal immigrants. While immigration is a part of the mess, the plant\u2019s long history of harassment, intimidation and violations of worker rights laid the groundwork for the walkout.\nThe Bladen County plant, the largest pork processing facility in the world, slaughters more than 32,000 hogs a day and employs about 5,500 workers. It is a world unto itself \u2013 complete with its own security force and jail.\nFor years the plant has made headlines in North Carolina as environmentalists have railed against the enormous amount of wastewater flowing from its killing floors into the Cape Fear River. Not so publicized in this union-phobic state has been the long-running battle over organizing attempts at the plant by the United Food and Commercial Workers. Union votes have been defeated twice at the plant, most recently in 1997, when on the day of the union vote workers were greeted at the plant gates by Bladen County sheriff deputies in full riot gear. A federal judge later ruled the company repeatedly used unlawful actions to preserve its non-union status.\nA Human Rights Watch report in 2002 detailed dangerous working conditions at the plant, intimidation of union organizers and attempts to evade worker compensation rules.\nIn April of this year, a unanimous ruling by the National Labor Relations Board cited the company and a contractor for physical intimidation and using threats to call immigration authorities to bully employees.\nThe Tar Heel plant, already dependent on Hispanic workers, is a key part of Smithfield\u2019s growth strategy. This year the company is on an acquisition run \u2013 on its way to becoming one of the world\u2019s largest meatpackers. As a part of its realignment, Smithfield recently announced plans to reduce the workforce at its unionized plant in Smithfield Va., and increase work at the non-union Tar Heel plant.\nNo-match, no mas\nThe trigger for the events this month at Tar Heel comes from a retooling of federal Social Security procedures that followed the 9-11 attacks. Under rules adopted as a result of the Patriot Act, the Social Security Administration stepped up its criteria for so-called no-match letters, missives that notify employers of discrepancies in Social Security accounts. In the Triangle, the new rules hit home first just before Thanksgiving 2001 with mass firings of grocery workers by Harris Teeter and Food Lion stores. There have been similar incidents around the country, but for the most part businesses resisted efforts by the feds to get them involved in immigration enforcement. Now, with federal officials honing their enforcement systems, companies are being pressured to respond. And with anti-immigration fervor reaching a new peak, the no-match letter stands to become the chief weapon for the rear guard of the Minutemen movement.\nBut it looks like those caught up in the no-match net aren\u2019t going to quietly march off to the border.\nThe three-day walkout this month caused production at the plant to drop by 30 percent, forcing the company to negotiate an agreement with a local representative of the Roman Catholic Church. The deal included a promise of no retaliation against those who walked out and reinstatement of the fired workers who now have 60 days to clear up discrepancies in their Social Security records.\nUnion organizers are ratcheting up the pressure by asking consumers to make their holiday parties Smithfield-free and calling for protests at Harris Teeter stores around the state on Saturday.\n(You can check out employee stories, documentation of abuses and the latest on the protests at smithfieldjustice.org)\nEveryone involved \u2013 the workers, the union, the church and the company management \u2013 agree that the latest solution is temporary, a little bit of wallpaper over a fissure of massive proportions.\nFor years businesses and their undocumented workers have settled for a \u201clook the other way\u201d approach. And the feds can\u2019t seem to come up with anything better than no-match letters and an imaginary fence at the border. Any economic system built on a workforce that can be intimidated is a house of cards. This one is on the verge of collapse.",

        "raw_content": "What Did Hitler Leave in Louisiana?\nWorld War II is a dark stain on human history. Even though it is an incredibly good thing that the world joined forces to rid itself of an evil plague that threatened to spread its poison far and wide, it is also an incredibly bad thing that it was necessary in the first place. Without a doubt, the man at the center of this the entire mess was Adolf Hitler.\nHeinrich Hoffman, Getty Images\nUnderstandably, parts of Adolf Hitler's life that don't directly correlate with his rise to power and the ensuing destruction he and his cronies caused don't get mentioned very much. Did you know that Hitler loved derby horses? And he loved his horse Nordlicht the most. He raced the in 1943 and 1944 on the Nazi circuit and took victories in the German and Austrian derbies. In fact, Nordlicht was undefeated during his career. He was so successful that he was named horse of the year in 1944, and later was featured on a German postage stamp. I wonder how many of his opponents took a dive to avoid a trip to das olden Leimfabrik (glue factory)?\nFast forward to the end of the war when allied soldiers were combing through the wreckage of battle torn Europe. Many of the spoils of war were confiscated and sent back to the US. One of those spoils was, you guessed it, Nordlicht. Once on he was on this side of the pond, the champion steed was bought by New Orleans surgeon and horse breeder C. Walter Mattingly. Nordlicht would spend the rest of his days siring a line of champions until his demise around 1968. Historians believe that Hitler's equine pride is buried in St. Charles Parish near the entrance to the LaBranche Plantation in St. Rose. There is even a marker with a brass plaque to denote the spot.\nFiled Under: horse, louisiana",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb Blogs \u00bb Charles Gaba's blog \u00bb Kentucky: Bevin gives the HHS Dept. an offer they can't possibly approve.\nKentucky: Bevin gives the HHS Dept. an offer they can't possibly approve.\nLong-time readers may have noticed that after a flurry of posts about Matt Bevin's jackassery last fall, I haven't written much of anything about Kentucky lately. In fact, aside from an entry about KY's 2017 rate hike requests (as part of my national project), I haven't said a peep about Kentucky since March. At the time Jeffrey Young of the Huffington Post noted that it looked very much like for all of Bevin's hot air and bluster...\nBut a funny thing happened on the way to the governor's office: Bevin's anti-Obamacare rhetoric started to tone down as Election Day approached. And in the months since he's been chief executive of Kentucky,instead of ripping up Obamacare out of his state, Bevin is making alterations to how the law works there and leaving its core elements and benefits in place.\nA candidate who vowed to completely roll back Kentucky's expansion of Medicaid to more than 300,000 poor residents under the Affordable Care Act now is a governor who plans to put some conservative window dressing on the program, akin to what Gov. Mike Pence (R) did in Indiana.\nWell, apparently it really is important to Bevin that he not completely abandon his campaign promises, because as of today, according to Young:\nWASHINGTON \u2014 Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) wants to enact a major overhaul of the state\u2019s Medicaid program \u2014 and vows to let the Obamacare expansion that covers hundreds of thousands of poor residents to disappear if federal authorities don\u2019t agree to his plan.\nAt a news conference in Lexington Wednesday, Bevin outlined an ambitious proposal to convert 1.2 million current Medicaid enrollees into a new program called Kentucky HEALTH, which would make them pay monthly premiums and require them to do community service, job training or other activities to retain coverage.\n...But Bevin also made clear that the continuation of the Medicaid expansion in Kentucky is contingent on President Barack Obama\u2019s administration, specifically the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.\n\u201cIf they do not approve this, there will not be expanded Medicaid in the state of Kentucky,\u201d Bevin said. A Health and Human Services spokesman didn\u2019t immediately respond to a request for comment.\nTo clarify the numbers a bit: ACA Medicaid expansion totals around 400,000 Kentuckians. An additional 800,000 people are enrolled in \"traditional\" Medicaid, for Young's 1.2 million total.\nThe general philosophy behind a work/service requirement is supposedly that it forces recipients to \"have some skin in the game\", and to \"show a work ethic\". The problem with this is that it also adds an entire extra layer of bureaucratic red tape to the existing system (something which Republicans supposedly hate) in order to keep track of everyone, which adds more expense and reduces efficiency. In addition, the GOP loves giving wealthy people and large corporations are massive tax breaks and the like without making them show up at a soup kitchen twice a week, so it's pretty obvious what the real goal is here.\nFinally, as Judith Soloman of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorites notes:\nHHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell wrote Arkansas\u2019 governor earlier this year that, \u201cConsistent with the purposes of the Medicaid program, we cannot approve a work requirement.\u201d Yet Bevin\u2019s plan would condition Medicaid eligibility on work. Similarly, his plan would impose premiums on all beneficiaries \u2014 even those with no income \u2014 and delay coverage until they\u2019re paid, though HHS didn\u2019t allow Montana to impose significant cost-sharing and premiums on people with incomes below 50 percent of the poverty line. The governor\u2019s plan would also lock people out of coverage for six months if they fail to renew their coverage in a timely fashion, something no state has proposed doing.\nBevin has cited Indiana\u2019s \u201cHIP 2.0 Plan\u201d as a model for Kentucky, but replicating that plan \u2014 which delays coverage until payment of premiums and charges steep co-payments to poor people who don\u2019t pay their premiums \u2014 would be unwise. Extensive research shows that premiums significantly reduce low-income people\u2019s participation in health programs, and mounting evidence suggests that Indiana has had trouble implementing HIP 2.0 in a way that\u2019s consistent with its agreement with the federal government. Until state and federal evaluations of Indiana now underway are completed, federal officials shouldn\u2019t allow other states to adopt Indiana\u2019s approach, particularly where beneficiaries would risk losing coverage or access to care due to premiums and cost-sharing.\nOne other major problem noted by Young:\nIn both cases, the benefits package is based on the state employees\u2019 health insurance plan. That means it doesn\u2019t include dental or vision coverage. Kentucky HEALTH, however, would retain the current Medicaid program\u2019s level of coverage for mental health and substance-use treatment, which exceeds the employees\u2019 plan.\nAs Abby Goodnough of the NY Times noted, the removal of dental coverage in particular is a major problem for Kentucky residents.\nAnyway, we'll see how this plays out, but obviously Bevin has structured this in such a way that he can have his cake and eat it too: He's given the HHS Dept. an offer he knows damned well that it can't approve; that way, when they reject it, he gets to kill Medicaid for all 400,000 people and try to pin the blame for it on the federal government instead of himself.",

However, for many others, it\u2019s nothing more than another day that the banks are closed and the mail isn\u2019t delivered.\nIf you\u2019re too busy to pause for a few minutes today in honor of Veterans, I suggest you examine closely what you\u2019re doing that\u2019s so important at this moment. I would also suggest you reflect on the fact that you\u2019re only doing whatever it is because of our Veterans. It\u2019s their training, dedication, effort, patriotism, and love of country that provide us with the freedom we so often take for granted.\nTake just a moment or two out of your very busy schedule to view this video as a reminder of why we put this day aside to honor our Veterans. Upon completion of the video, I think you might want to seek out a Veteran or the family of a Veteran and provide a simple but heartfelt \u201cThank You\u201d for the freedoms you enjoy every day of your life.\nPersonally, I don\u2019t believe there should be a Veterans Day. A single day is a very small price to pay for the enormous sacrifice made by so many hundreds of thousands of American men and women to guarantee the freedom for so many others. I think every day should be Veterans Day.\nIn fact, for many people it is. Check the following link to see what goes on every day at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport as our soldiers return home from all over the world. This too should bring a tear to your eye and maybe an incentive to treat this day as the hallowed day that it is.",

This new Code has been produced following advice by the independent Farm Animal Welfare Council and after consultation with a very wide range of organisations interested in the care of farm livestock.\nThe Code, which has the approval of Parliament, has been compiled along similar lines to those issued for other livestock and takes account of five basic needs: freedom from thirst, hunger and malnutrition; appropriate comfort and shelter; the prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment of, injury, disease and infestation; freedom from fear, and freedom to display most normal patterns of behaviour. Included in the Code are recommendations on accommodation design, space, standards, stockmanship and emergency precautions.\nThe preface to the Code identifies good stockmanship as a key factor in farm animal welfare. We are convinced that this Code is an essential tool for everyone concerned with the rearing of ducks. We therefore ask you, and all involved with ducks on your farm, to read it carefully and to bear its recommendations in mind at all times.

        "raw_content": "A peek into \u2018Global Food Systems\u2019\nPosted by Elaine Kubik\nDuring my second semester of my first year, I was required to take Global Food Systems. As a development novice, I wasn\u2019t entirely sure what the class would cover; moreover the value it played within a larger development perspective. After all, my background is primarily in marketing and communications. Sadly, the only insight I had into any type of food system was the label of origin on my local vegetables.\nTruthfully, I had initially placed prioritization on the class not just because it was a required MPA-DP course, but also because MPA-DP Director Glenn Denning teaches the course. I knew the course would be challenging and rich, considering Glenn was involved with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) for more than 18 years. He was at the forefront of replenishing Cambodia\u2019s destroyed rice fields (and thus, helping to grow an impoverished nation) after the horrendous genocide of the \u201cKilling Fields.\u201d If anyone was going to show me both the micro and macro benefits of a national food system, it would be Glenn.\nLooking at a country\u2019s food system through a micro lens helped me to understand the importance of soil and vegetation within a country. For example, is it beneficial for a country to produce domestically for their citizens, or should they instead import certain food internationally? One case Glenn cited was about United Arab Emirates. The country is one of the top 10 most water-scarce countries in the world, yet has invested so much in complex irrigation systems. An interesting debate ensued in which my colleagues and I argued whether or not this was a beneficial systemic plan.\nGlenn also presented the importance of understanding a food system from a macro view. South Africa, for instance, is self-sufficient in agriculture and is even an exporter with certain products. (Wine anyone?) However, the food system linkages are weak, and many South Africans experience \u201chidden hunger\u201d and malnutrition. A country\u2019s food system will have direct impact on the health of its citizens. Currently, some South Africans are experiencing obesity and resulting non-communicable diseases (heart disease). This, along with its alarming HIV/AIDs prevalence, their food system is imperative to the health and wellbeing of its citizens.\nIn the end, I really enjoyed this class. It was a great balance of different perspectives of the food system, along with some integration of health and nutrition in a development context.

        "raw_content": "creating your eternal room\nDiscussion in 'Spiritual Growth & Development' started by kim, Nov 22, 2017.\nDoes any one here believe that nothing on this earth is solid? How about creating our place in eternity by the frequency of our own thoughts? Do you believe everything on this earth, including the planet itself, vibrates? I would like to correspond with someone about this sort of subject.\nDoes any one here believe that nothing on this earth is solid?\ndepends on what you mean by \"solid\".\nHow about creating our place in eternity by the frequency of our own thoughts?\nthere is no \"our place, eternity or our own thoughts\". There is only nameless Source or Life life-ing.\nDo you believe everything on this earth, including the planet itself, vibrates?\nI don't \"believe\", I know!\nI would like to correspond with someone about this sort of subject.\nSo would I. It's a profoundly deep and complicated subject but give it a try anyway............\nYes, I can see what you say, but I just don't know how to verbalize it. Have you ever experienced anything in the invisible realm of existence? I don't \"believe\" either I know. I think \"believing\" is just an idea that brings comfort to some people.\nI have experienced a lot of \"invisible\" stuff starting with individuals who are in the afterlife now but, most of my experiences cannot be proven so I'm left with having to talk about it - like a UFO sighting where there is no concreted evidence. For me, knowing is way more important that believing - especially in spiritual or mystical matters but it's kind of abstract and mostly unproveable so far. I know that my late wife, mother and a few others are absolutely alive and well over in heaven or the afterlife but I cannot prove it. I know that there is only one essence, reality, being, self, life, consciousness but I cannot prove it with concrete evidence. Science is getting closer and closer to proving what mystics have know for centuries so perhaps an abstract discussion like this will have concrete evidence and values some day soon. I'd love to have a way to PROVE that my late wife and others are just as alive right now as they ever were in the physical plane and way better off in their current, bodiless or spiritual state/plane than any of us in the physical plane. What have you experienced or currently know about \"invisible realms\"?\nP.S. I won't be available to write much more as I have some things to do today so ... happy thanks giving and best wishes, jim\nI was in a very bad accident in 1983, and I experienced an NDE. Since that time things have been happening in my life that I recall experiencing before. At first it was just mild cases of deja vu, but then I noticed it grew more intense and it never gave up. Sometimes I was actually able to foretell some of the things that were going to happen. It went on for about 17 years or so when I had to research what as happening to me, and I found that some NDEers sometimes \"remember\" the future. It is still occurring these days, but it just seems too fantastic to be real, and no one here is able to relate with me, so I just wanted to get someplace where I can relate with other people who see things differently. All I can say about the invisible realms is that it exists at a frequency that we can not detect with our physical senses. Thank-you for wishing a good Thanksgiving to me. Hope yours was nice!",

A new structure for health care in Ontario is laid out in a January 22 briefing document.\nThey're well coached, well drilled and I thought our intensity, particularly in the first part of the game, was outstanding. Perhaps the most surprising element to England's win in Dublin was their superiority over Ireland physically .\nTrump apparently was referring to the Al-Asad air base in western Iraq, where he paid a brief visit to U.S. troops in December. Votel would not commit to a timeline for the withdrawal. \"I am not under pressure to be out by a specific date\", he said.\n\"But it's the projected reductions in pre-monsoon river flows and changes in the monsoon [season] that will hit hardest, throwing urban water systems and food and energy production off-kilter\", he continued. \"Global warming is on track to transform the frigid, glacier-covered mountain peaks of the HKH cutting across eight countries to bare rocks in a little less than a century\". This would be catastrophic for the 250 million people who live there and the 1.65 billion people who live along the glacial valley and rely on the rivers fed by these glaciers. Billions of people depend on these river systems for food and energy. Since the 1970s, there has been a slow and steady retreat of ice in the region and the amount of snow has decreased.\nSatellite data shows that numbers of such lakes in the region grew to 4,260 in a decade from 3,350 in 1990. In recent years, a high level of air pollution originating from the Indo-Gangetic Plains has led to vast deposits of black carbon and dust on the Himalayan glaciers, exacerbating glacial melting as well as changing monsoon circulation and rainfall distribution over Asia.\nAs this report, and many others before, have highlighted, despite the fact that climate change (especially in the mountainous regions) invariably intersects with and poses threats to all three of these issues, it is continually overlooked in regional policy deliberations.\n\"Without the ice reserve in the mountains to top up the rivers through the melt season, droughts will be harsher on those living downstream\", noted Hamish Pritchard, an expert on ice dynamics at the British Antarctic Survey, commenting on the findings.",

        "raw_content": "Subject: How to Choose Right Swiss Luxury Watch for Yourself Thu Feb 18, 2016 6:59 am\nWith so many quality watch makers in Switzerland, choosing the right Swiss luxury watch can be a bit complicated. It is a good problem to have however, as there are a wide selection of quality Swiss watches available. It is hard to go wrong with companies like Omega, Citizen mens watches, Tag Heuer Formula 1, and Apple Watch hard at work.\nWhy buy a Swiss Luxury Watch?\nWell, the reason is, Swiss watches are synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and prestige. The first wrist watch was invented in the late 1880's, by Swiss watch maker, Patek Phillippe. Since then, the Swiss have pretty much set the standard for fine watch making. While the Japanese also make pretty good movements, as far as watches are concerned, Switzerland is without question the king of this arena. Therefore, if you are looking for a luxury timepiece, you will most likely be looking for something Swiss.\nWhen buying a Swiss luxury watch, the choice comes down to a matter of design, features, and price. Do you want a watch that is water resistant, or do you need a diving watch like the Tag Heuer Carrer? Do you like metal band watches, or leather bands? Would you like your new watch to include gold or diamonds? These are the types of questions you may want to ask, as you begin narrowing down the choices available to you.\nYou have to decide what you will be wearing the watch for. If you need functionality or sport functions, you may choose something like a steel chronograph watch with a rubber strap. If you are looking for functionality and style, Omega watches are outstanding. Worn by the likes of James Bond and Buzz Aldrin, this Swiss watch maker is amongst the most revered in the world. Rolex is a company that instantly brings to mind thoughts of quality and class. Aside from being wonderfully made, Rolex watches are famous for gorgeous design and high price points (understandably so).\nThe last factor one would consider when buy Breitling Watches is price. Depending on the craftsmanship, the materials used, and the exclusivity of the timepiece, the price can range from several hundred, to several thousand dollars. Many do not understand why one would spend tens of thousands of a fine wrist watch, when you can get an excellent timepiece for two or three thousand. This is where the process of watch buying gets a little more philosophical. As one ascends through life, the timepieces he buys, represent where he is in his own personal quest. Being able to buy and wear an expensive Swiss luxury watch is a privilege and a pleasure. One enjoys the precision, performance, and ultimately the price of their new watch.",

        "raw_content": "evan replied to FizziksGuy's topic in TV & Movie Physics\nOne of the most important concepts in the movie, Interstellar, was the theory of relativity. And time, was a big factor in the movie. When the crew spent too much time on the water planet, Cooper was looking for a way to reverse it, asking if there was a way to reverse time. Of course we know that it is impossible in any way to go back in time, however I feel like the movie didn't stay true to that idea. When Cooper goes through the black hole he not only shakes Dr Brands hand but he also is able to influence a point in time that is at least 20 years. Also, they say that the wormhole they use to go to the other galaxy was put there by someone and they say it is humans. However, humans didn't have the ability to do that at the time meaning to put that wormhole there they must have gone back in time to do it. The movie doesn't stay true to the theory of relativity and I don't think it follows its' own physics. Also, the way they manipulate gravity and the physics of gravity is interesting to me. I think gravity was set up to be \"time\" in the movie, that is why they are able to change gravity to influence time. Gravity is time in the movie, instead of being able to go back in time through the black hole and just tell Coopers daughter the answer to gravity, the movie uses gravity and 5th dimensional beings to influence gravity or as I see it, the space-time continuum. The physics in the movie are, in some places, made up. I do not think you can change gravity and I think Interstellar's ending wasn't realistic as you can't go back in time.\nevan posted a topic in Labs and Projects\nTeam Name: Elladen Research Available Funds: $60,000 Vehicle Name: The Penultimate Mistake Vehicle Parts List and Cost: Mk1 Command Pod, FL-T800 Fuel Tank x8, FL-T400 Fuel Tank x2 TR-18A Stack Decoupler x2 LV-T30 \"Reliant\" Liquid Fuel Engine x5 48-7S \"Spark\" Liquid Fuel Engine Aerodynamic Nose Cone x4 Tail Fin x4 TT-70 Radial Decoupler x4 FTX-2 External Fuel Duct x4 Total Cost: $22,823 Design Goals: It was designed to reach 10,000 meters but as we easily surpassed that feat we decided to try to reach the moon.

Illustrations:\nevan started following Switzerlands super Collider: The Large Hadron Collider, Living on Mars, Standard Deviation and and 7 others April 13, 2015\nevan posted a blog entry in Evan Plattens blog\nPopulation concerns on Earth are leading scientists to inquire whether colonizing Mars is possible. As of now, over 78,000 people have applied to leave Earth forever and live on Mars. Mars One, a nonprofit organization, is sponsoring the colonization with a take-off date sometime in 2023. Out of the applicant pool, four will be chosen to send first to Mars. The first four will lay the groundwork for a permanent colony. Two years after the first four land, Mars One would send up more people to the colony. With the application process underway, it seems as though scientists have discovered ways for humans to survive on Mars indefinitely. However, this is not the case. Many, many concerns exist such as how will the colonists feed themselves? Will crops which grow on the Earth also grow on Mars? The first settlers of Mars will most likely be farmers. Yes, they will be astronauts; but, if survival is of any importance to them, they will learn to farm in order to eat. Research which has been conducted supports the idea that growing crops is possible in microgravity. However, those working for NASA do not know to what extent the gravity of Mars will effect crop growth. Also, Mars' surface only receives about half of the sunlight that the Earth's surface receives. Will plants be able to grow with limited sunlight? On top of the already limited sunlight, pressurized greenhouses would be necessary to grow crops. The greenhouses would block out more light. So, additional light would be necessary from other sources than the sun. What would power additional light sources? How would that power be generated and sustained? Radiation would also be a problem faced by those on Mars. Mars does not have as strong of an atmosphere as the Earth. More radiation reaches the surface of Mars than the surface of the Earth. Inhabitants would need a way to reflect the radiation or shield themselves from the rays. To live on Mars, man must master the art of agriculture in microgravity. Feeding the inhabitants of Mars is one among many more necessary tasks of survival. As of now, research is still being conducted. The 78,000 who have already showed interest in living on Mars are a bit stupid or extremely bold. With current technology man would not survive on Mars. I do not doubt though that technology will develop in the near future for man to successfully live on Mars.\nWhile we use percent error to dictate how far we off in class, there are far more efficient ways of defining the error of the set. Standard deviation, for example, given a value, will give rise to numbers that fall within one S.D., two S.D. and so on. \"One can find the standard deviation of an entire population in cases (such as standardized testing) where every member of a population is sampled. In cases where that cannot be done, the standard deviation \u00cf\u0192 is estimated by examining a random sample taken from the population. An estimator for \u00cf\u0192 used when sample size is very large is the standard deviation of the sample, denoted by sN and defined as follows:\" This method is effective for creating intervals for which certain points would have to lie within and give us the ability to decide on percent error for an entire group of values. The closer the value of S.D. approaches 0, the less the error percent is.\nExplanation of Fire\nAlright, this blog is for all you pyros out there. I couldn't help but want to delve a little deeper into the nature of fire, and what I found is pretty interesting. In actuality, fire is simply a gas thats hot enough to incandesce, which means give off blackbody radiation whos color is determined by the temperature. Very hot fires can on occasion even reach the plasma phase, where they become partially ionized. However, the average fire burns at about 1000F, which produces the characteristic red-orange flame that we all recognize. When burning objects, one can notice that they burn at different rates or perhaps colors. This is because the electron structure of some materials and compounds absorb the energy, exciting the electrons to a higher energy level and emitting different photons. A perfect example of this is sodium, which gives off a distinctive yellow color. In addition the surface area must be considered. For example, paper burns much faster than wood for this reason, for surface area gives the substance ready access to oxygen. Hydrocarbons are another thing that burns incredibly well, however this is for a much different reason. They give off more energy than cellulose, which produces the normal 1000F temperature, actually because they lack oxygen, so when supplied with it the reaction is much more drastic.\nMany common materials like wood, water, plants, animals, diamonds, fingers etc. are considered not to be magnetic but are in fact very slightly diamagnetic. Diamagnets repel, and are repelled by a strong magnetic field, and two of the strongest known diamagnetic materials are bismuth and graphite. Compared to the forces created by traditional magnets, diamagnetic forces are exponentially weak, however when arranged and prepared properly, can produce startling effects, levitation in this case. UCLA university has done multiple studies and found the most efficient and effective configurations for showing levitation in action. In the first configuration here we can see what seems to be a small golden cylinder floating in between two fingers. However in reality the magnet is levitated by a vertical superconducting solenoid electromagnet at a point at which the magnet is rendered vertically stable and however unstable in the horizontal plane. Thus, the floating magnet wants to move off sideways, but is however, for this reason is lined with bismuth and therefore repels the magnet overcoming the horizontal instability and the result is stable levitation. Another configuration is shown below. In this one, the magnet is suspended at a point far below the electromagnet where in this case it is vertically unstable and stable on the horizontal plane, unlike the example above. Diamagnetic plates are placed above and below to stabilize vertically. In the case above, human fingers were used as the diamagnetic plates to accomplish for real what magicians claim to do while only producing an illusion.\nThe Physics of Spin on a Tennis Ball\nThere are two types of spin that a player can apply to a tennis ball, those being topspin and backspin. What prompted my thoughts on this idea would be my attendance of the University of Rochester tennis match today against Nazareth. As these advanced players made the ball skip and flip and kick every which way, my mind went crazy! :labmate) A topspin shot is hit by sliding the racquet up and over the ball as it is struck. By dragging the racquet over the ball, the friction between the racquet's strings and the ball is used to make the ball spin forward, towards the opponent. The shot dips down following impact with the court and also bounces at a lower angle than would a shot with no spin applied to it. As a ball travels towards a player after bouncing, it has natural topspin that is caused by the friction of the tennis court. When hitting a topspin shot, the player is reversing the spin of the ball, which requires more energy. This change in energy from potential to rotational kinetic energy allows the player to effectively execute the top spin shot. A backspin shot is hit in the opposite manner, by sliding the racquet underneath the ball as it is struck. This causes the ball to spin towards the player who just hit it as it travels away. What is very interesting about the back spin shot and has been proven by physicists all over the world is that hitting this shot requires only roughly about half of the raquet speed of a top spin shot, for to execute this shot the player does not change the rotation of the ball. The oncoming ball bounces off the court with topspin, spinning from top to bottom as it comes toward the player. When a player returns the ball with a slice shot the direction in which the ball spins around the axis of rotation is maintained. From the players perspective, it actually seems as if the ball is moving away from them.\nThe theory of relativity encompasses two theories of famous scientist Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity. Concepts introduced by the theories of relativity include: -Measurements of various quantities are relative to the velocities of observers. In particular, space and time can dilate. -Spacetime: space and time should be considered together and in relation to each other. -The speed of light is nonetheless invariant, the same for all observers. Some, and to many most of the things that the theory of relativity introduces seem absolutely insane to many of those who hear it, although as technology advances more and more tangible evidence is being gathered to support the theory. In the field of physics, relativity catalyzed and added an essential depth of knowledge to the science of elementary particles and their fundamental interactions, along with ushering in the nuclear age. With relativity, cosmology and astrophysics predicted extraordinary astronomical phenomena such as neutron stars, black holes, and gravitational waves. However those are blogs of their own, so stay tuned.:love-struck: Special relativity is a theory of the structure of spacetime and is based on two main principles: -The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another (principle of relativity). -The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers, regardless of their relative motion or of the motion of the source of the light. General relativity is a theory of gravitation developed by Einstein in the years 1907-1915. The development of general relativity began with the equivalence principle, under which the states of accelerated motion and being at rest in a gravitational field are physically identical; something to which the simple mind would simply be insane. However when taken in to deep consideration, general relativity is really something interesting to think about.\nNeutron stars are the collapsed cores of some massive stars. They pack roughly the mass of our Sun into a region the size of a city such as Chicago or another large american city. Neutron stars are some of the densest types of massive objects in the universe, at times reaching densities of over 10e14 g/cc. At these incredibly high densities, you could cram all of humanity into a volume the size of a sugar cube, giving one just a sense, even though it is simply impossible to wrap your mind around, the uniqueness of these entities. They are ideal astrophysical laboratories for testing theories of dense matter physics and provide connections among nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics, which have and will continue to lead to incredible innovation in our world. The strongest inferred neutron star fields are nearly a hundred trillion times stronger than Earth's fields, and even the feeblest neutron star magnetic fields are a hundred million times Earth's, which is a hundred times stronger that any steady field we can generate in a laboratory. These unique stars can and fairly regularly display phenomena displayed nowhere else on the entire planet. These include hyperon-dominated matter, deconfined quark matter, superfluidity and superconductivity with critical temperatures near 10e10 kelvin, opaqueness to neutrinos, and magnetic fields in excess of 10e13 Gauss, only a few of the simply amazing reasons why these nuetron stars are significant to us.\nEnergy Transfer during Running When a person runs, their body must convert potential energy into kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy stored within a system. Potential energy is used when the system uses kinetic energy to move in a horizontal direction. In the human body, potential energy is stored in the form of chemical energy. The chemical energy comes from the food that a person consumes throughout the day. The body needs a certain amount of calories (the energy from food) in order to perform certain activities. If the runner has not consumed enough calories throughout their day, they will run out of potential energy and become tired. This is because the body is not very efficient at retaining energy. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can go elsewhere. As the person runs, most of their stored energy is released in the form of thermal energy. This is why people get hot and start to sweat when they do physical activity such as running. The body is heating up because it is literally burning the calories that it has consumed in order to keep moving in a horizontal direction. The runner will sweat, because sweating is the body's natural cooling mechanism. If the runner did not have the ability to sweat, the conversion of potential energy (the chemical energy) into kinetic energy which is released as thermal energy would cause the runner's body to overheat. The chemical energy that the runner consumes in the form of calories is also released in the form of sound energy. Every time the runner's foot hits the ground, energy is leaving the runner's body as sound waves emit from the impact of the runner's foot on the ground. Because energy is being released from the runner's body with every step they take, it is important for the runner to consume enough chemical energy in the form of calories prior to their run. The runner's body needs a substantial amount of calories as a reserve so that they will have more to burn as their potential energy is released throughout the run. Thermal energy is measured in calories. Calories are released from a given item as it burns. The amount of calories that are in something depends directly on the amount of chemical bonds that are broken and formed as it burns. For example, when a piece of wood burns, 3000 calories of thermal energy are released per gram. When an apple is burned however, it releases about 600 calories of thermal energy. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that there is more energy available from breaking the atomic bonds in wood than from breaking the atomic bonds in an apple. One calorie is defined as the amount of thermal energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. Calories burn very slowly in the human body, and as they do, kinetic energy becomes available to the runner. 1 calorie is the equivalent to 4.186 Joules of energy. So, the more calories that the runner consumes prior to running, the more energy they will have available to them throughout the run. The runner\u00ef\u00bf\u00bds energy can also be measured in the form of watts, or electrical power. One calorie also translates to about 4.186 watts. So, if the runner has 500 calories available to them, they are capable of producing over 2000 watts of electrical power. When the body uses the calories it has consumed, it is not very efficient at conserving this energy. As the leg muscles contract to propel the runner forward, about 75% of the chemical energy that the runner has consumed is lost due to the heat (thermal energy) that the body gives off as it converts it stores (potential) chemical energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is equal to one half of the runner's mass times their velocity squared (KE=1/2mv^2). So, if the runner has a mass of 60 kg and wants to run at a rate of 9m/s, they will use about 2,430 Joules of energy. The runner is not able to change their mass, but they can increase or decrease their use of kinetic energy by increasing or decreasing their velocity. If the runner has not consumed a lot of chemical energy throughout their day, it would be wise for them to decrease their velocity as to decrease their kinetic energy and therefore use less of their stored potential energy. The power that the runner generates during their run depends on the amount of time it takes them to complete the run. If they decide to run a given distance, their power output will depend on how long it takes the runner to complete the given distance. The power of the runner can be calculated by dividing the amount of work that they do during the run by the amount of time it takes them to complete the run. (P=W/t). If the runner completes the run in a short amount of time, they will have a relatively large power output. If it takes them a long time to complete their run, the runner will not generate as much power. The amount of time that it takes the runner to complete the run depends on their velocity. An increased velocity will allow the runner to complete a given distance in less time. This will increase their power output, because they are doing the same amount of work as they would be doing if they ran the distance at a slower pace, but they will be completing the run in less time. Completing the run in less time requires the runner to expend more of their stored potential energy. So, when the runner decides to increase their velocity, they will increase their kinetic energy. They will also decrease the amount of time it takes them to complete the run, and therefore increase their power output. Because it requires more energy to produce a higher power output, the runner will need to consume more chemical energy (calories) in order to run at a higher velocity.\nWe all love the classic movies of Star Wars, if you don't love these movies than your probably too cool to be reading this blog, but if your like us in physics c you can see the glaring flaw that represent themselves throughout the movies. Star Wars is in a different galaxy but the same laws of physics should be universal so while watching the movies you can pick up on certain aspects that are in fact impossible. 1.) One of the most basic flaws we can see in the movies is that during the epic space battles we can hear not only blaster fire, but the explosions and droid sounds such as in the end of the 4th movie and the beginning of the 3rd. Space is a vacuum and sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it needs matter to propagate, so because of this basic fact we can see that in all of the Star Wars movies we should not be able to hear anything while they are in space. Whether it be the sound of a blaster, explosion, droid, or the whoosh as a ship flies by, in space there should be no sound. 2.) Another flaw concerning the space battles of Star Wars comes from the explosions that occur. Not only should there be no sound, but an explosion in space would produce a flaming blast because of oxygen within the ship, but that blast would last for less than a second, and would only be interpreted from the human eye as a flash of light before the vacuum of space would extinguish it. As a vacuum has no oxygen it is impossible to have a fire in space, so the explosion caused from the ships would last less than a second before they disappeared, and as we can see in movies such as Star Wars 3 or Star Wars 1 where a fire catches on the ship and lasts for multiple seconds, those instances are impossible. 3.) Lightsabers and blasters cannot actually be made of light and they cannot shot lasers. If a blaster shot a laser it would than be impossible for anyone to see or dodge the beam as it would travel so fast that it would be impossible for anyone to the the light move. Also in the space battles, in a vacuum the laser is invisible because there are no particles to scatter the beam making it visible. So these storm troopers can't actually be shooting lasers, and the light sabers cannot be made of light because light cannot deflect the blasts from these guns. Lightsabers if made of lasers would require an object as dense as a black hole to stop the laser and make it turn back in on itself forming the shape of a lightsaber and we can safely say that is impossible to carry around. We can see that if lightsabers were lasers such as what the guns claim to shoot, they then would not be able to deflect opposite laser beams shot at them. Also if lightsabers were indeed just projections of light shot out, than it is impossible that they would go and than stop after about 3 or 4 feet unless there was some object there to block or reflact the light. If they were just beams of light shot out than they would shot out far far far far far far longer distances than just 3 or 4 feet. Lightsabers were also said to possibly be made of a plasma substance. While it seems possible to control this plasma substance the heat from the condensed material would cook the hands of the user. 4.)In the Space battles we all admire how the ships go around flying, shooting at each other, turning, spinning, but in reality we can see that the turns and spins shown in Star Wars are in accurate if there were actually space ships flying around. We see throughout the movies how the space ships make banked turns, such as the Millennium Falcon. A banked turn is a turn or change in direction where the aircraft inclines towards the inside of the turn. We can see on earth how banked turns are needed because the fixed winged aircraft need the air pressure in order to operate but in the vacuum of space there would be no need to use banked turns. With this idea there is in no fact need for wings in space. Ships such as the Falcon would be in fact the design of space ships, not like that of the rebel fighters in the 4th, because as you are in space and there is no atmosphere there is no need for wings to help you turn or control the ship. 5.) Another issue we see in these movies are the asteroids. As shown in the 5th movie as they escape Hoth the crew, Chewie Han Lea and the droids, fly into a asteroid field in order to escape their pursuers. We can see that due to physics these large asteroids should not be able to float together without crashing into each other. The field cannot contain such huge asteroids that just fly around because in reality they would fall into each other continuously ramming each other till they break down and the field is made up of smaller pieces of rock floating around large boulders. Also Han and Lea exit the ship within an asteroid, within a creature, not only is there no way a worm of some sort could exist in space living in an asteroid, there is also no way Han, Lea, and Chewie could exit the Falcon without putting on full space suits and expect not to explode in space's vacuum. Along with these five flaws we can see many more in the Star Wars franchise but the list can go on and on. There are certain concepts in the movies such as light speed and hyper drive which are impossible, but the movies play off the fact that we just don't have the technology now that can produce them thus they cannot be totally dis proven. The ideas and concepts above though are known facts about physics, space, and how the universe works and thus glaring errors in the Star Wars movie franchise.\nSwitzerlands super Collider: The Large Hadron Collider\nThe Large Hadron Collider is the worlds largest and highest energy particle accelerator, and located in Switzerland as told to us from the Valentines day special of the Big Bang Theory. In the episode Leonard wins a trip to Switzerland over Valentines day to visit the Collider, and than must deal with the drama that unfolds as Sheldon tries to take Penny's spot on the trip. After watching the episode my own interests over the Collider were peaked and so I went online to research it. The LHC lies in a tunnel beneath the France-Swiss border near Geneva Switzerland. It is a machine made to and expected to address some of the most fundamental questions of physics helping us further understand the laws of nature. The machine is designed to collide opposing particle beams of protons or lead nuclei at certain energy levels. Built by the European Organization for the Nuclear Research the machine was made to test various predictions of high energy physics including the testing for the existence of the Higgs Boson (hypothetical massive elementary particle, only standard model particle that has not been yet observed, would explain the difference between the massless proton which mediates electromagnetism and the massive W and Z bosons which mediate the weak force) and other particles predicted by super-symmetry (a symmetry that relates elementary particles of one spin to other particles that differ by half a unit of spin). Over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries and hundreds of universities came together to collaborate and build this device. The device is currently up and running but only at half power, the device will be active for a certain time at half power for many years and is not expected to be at full power until 2014.\nSuperhydrophic Metals\nA team of researchers in Rochester have discovered a way to create metals that are highly water resistant. These metals can be used in applications such as rust-prevention and anti-icing. Before this, the same team created hydrophilic metals, meaning that they attracted water. These could be used for any applications where you need to take water from one place to another because the metal would just do it for you. Here is the article about Chunlei Guo and his production of super-hydrophobic metals. http://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/superhydrophobic-metals-85592/\nWhat's better.....being faster or being slower? Obviously faster. Have you ever wondered why some people are faster than others though? Are there trends? To understand the basics physics of running, you can think of your arms as pendulums. A pendulums velocity depends on the length of the pendulum, not the mass of the bottom. If the pendulum is shorter, the speed of the mass at the bottom is faster. Your mass at the end of the pendulum you can think of as your feet. Then proceed to assume that your legs are the pendulums. In order to shorten the pendulum...you have to bend your knees. Obviously you cannot run well with your knees locked, but you will run faster if your knees are bent. You can also think of your arms as a second type of pendulum. If you bend your arms at a 90 degree angle and swim them in stride with your legs, you will then proceed to run even faster.\nSuper Duper Conductivity\nSuperconductivity was first discovered by Dutchman and physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, when Liquid Mercury was cooled to just 4.2 Kelvins!! (Using some very expensive Liquid Helium) While measuring the resistance of the substance, Onnes found that at this specific temperature, the resistivity of the substance quite literally dropped down to nothing. Zero Ohms. But whats the significance? Firstly, Onnes had discovered a material that would produce no heat when an electrical current flowed through it, which has huge technical implications. It is being discussed, for instance, whether superconductors can be used to levitate trains (the Japanese are researching a system called MagLev) or transmit power more effectively. Lesser known applications include more effective Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI's), more detailed SQUIDS (magnetic field sensors with a variety of applications, namely detecting brain activity), or even to shrink computers down by using smaller wires! What's more, a fascinating phenomenon coined the Meissner Effect goes into action whenever a magnet approaches the superconductor. ]The superconductor literally \"mirrors\" the approaching magnet. For example, if a north pole approaches the material, an identical north pole will be created in the superconductor, allowing the magnet to levitate at a careful height. A more detailed description of this effect derives from essential Electromagnetic concepts, namely the popular Lenz's Law. In a conductor, free moving electrons are always present. When a changing electric field is introduced to a conductor, these electrons seek to flow such that they perfectly cancel any changing field strengths. Unfortunately for the electrons, a great deal of resistance is present in most conductors, which prevents the flow of the electrons from canceling the change in magnetic flux. Thus, we become familiarized with a Lenz's law that provides usually only minimal resistance to flux change. Now the crazy physics begins. In a superconductor, a substance that has negligible resistance, these electrons are able to flow in such a manner that the changing magnetic field is completely canceled! Result: Floating magnets. Whats more, is that the magnetic field doesn't need to be changing for the Meissner effect to go into action! For this reason, the Meissner effect is different than normal diamagnetism (a term that refers to conductors that follow Lenz's Law). Holy Floating Magnets, Batman! This is an example of a sample cooled with liquid nitrogen, with a cubical magnet suspended above the superconductive material. You may have noticed the thin layer of mist above the conductor; this mist is actually condensed oxygen! This oxygen jumps up to the magnet when it gets too close and quickly evaporates. This is because oxygen becomes liquid at warmer temperatures than liquid nitrogen, and also because oxygen is naturally \"paramagnetic\" meaning its molecules are attracted to magnetic fields a just a little bit more powerfully than other elements. Superconductors, however, have a long way to go before they become reasonable. Numerous limitations exist. The hottest a superconductor has ever been is 138 Kelvin. The greatest challenge scientists face is getting the near perfect conditions of the laboratory into a household setting. But the future is coming! Its coming fast.",

To address this long standing public concern, the government of Reykjav\u00edk \u2013 Iceland\u2019s capital and largest city, launched the Green Cleaning Program in 2009 to promote the purchasing of eco-friendly chemical cleaners through public procurement.\nEcolabeling \u2013 now a key prerequisite for public procurement on cleaning services in Reykjav\u00edk, did not only facilitate a boom in the application for ecolabled products \u2013 products that comply with the ISO 14001 management system, are Nordic Swan eco-labeled, or fulfill comparable criteria, but has also led to a substantial increase in the market share for ecolbeled cleaning services from less than 10 to 50 percent.\nThe program also witnessed considerable success in cutting public costs and chemical consumption. Within two years, the proportion of green cleaning services purchased by the city increased drastically from almost nothing to 74 percent in 2011, cleaning costs were halved, and the level of chemical consumption by new office building has dropped by 65 percent. Employees also showed greater satisfaction in working in a cleaner and healthier environment.\nThe initial success of the two pilot projects involving new city office building (10,218m\u00b2 floor area) and 63 kindergartens (30,353m\u00b2 floor area) encourage the start of a wider program in the city of Reykjav\u00edk. It is expected that the city can achieve the goal of 100 percent green cleaning service by 2013.\nAs part of Iceland\u2019s National Action Plan on green procurement and international strategies, the Green Cleaning Program demonstrates how green public procurement can help promote a resource efficient and low-carbon economy without incurring additional financial or ecological costs.\nRead the full ICLEI case study for more information on how you could apply some of these ideas in your city.",

        "title": "Arms Trade Treaty legal blog: Day 2 of the Second PrepCom - Criteria/Parameters",
        "raw_content": "On Day Two very broad differences were evident between the majority of delegations and a significant minority during the discussion on criteria/parameters (i.e. the basis on which a State must or should deny a request for an arms transfer from another State).\nMany delegations supported Ambassador Moritan's paper as a basis for discussion. Several States (e.g. Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Senegal, Switzerland, UK) as well as the ICRC did, though, point out the potentially fatal drafting flaws in the chapeau paragraph that introduced the various criteria in his \"non-paper\". They called for the deletion or strengthening of the offending text, which called only on States to \"take into consideration, as appropriate\" the criteria set out in the rest of the proposal. This could imply that the criteria were not legally binding. (For an analysis of the Chair's draft on Criteria/Parameters, see the following post on this blog: Informal Draft Paper on Criteria/Parameters by the Chair of the Preparatory Committee for an ATT.)\nIn contrast, Cuba, Egypt, Pakistan and the Russian Federation sought deletion of criteria relating to international human rights and humanitarian law, to development, and to corruption on the basis that such criteria are subjective. These States clearly remain to be persuaded of the merits of an ATT.\nMany States called for a prohibition on transfers to non-State armed groups (NSAGs), including Brazil, Burkina Faso, C\u00f4te d'Ivoire, India, Iran, and the Russian Federation.\nIran stressed the need for a realistic approach to the ATT. It was only in favour of the inclusion of the 7 categories under the UN register. It further called for missiles not to be covered by the ATT while proposing adding a new category of electromagnetic weapons (some of these weapons can be used to destroy incoming missiles).\nHungary (on behalf of the EU) noted that the introductory paragraph needed stronger language. It supported many of the criteria included in the Chair's paper, notably compliance with UNSC decisions on arms embargoes/IHL, and International Human Rights Law, intra-State conflict, and the risk of corruption. It stated that lack of compliance with any criteria should result in the automatic denial of the proposed transfer.\nBangladesh claimed that Article 51 of the UN Charter provided a legal basis for a right to the acquisition of arms. However, it also called for a broad range of transactions and weapons to be covered by the treaty, and noted that capacity-building needs, cross-border monitoring and treaty implementation all needed to be included in the treaty. It called for a prohibition on handing over weapons to non-State armed groups (NSAGs).\nBrazil also called for no \"unauthorised\" internal transfers to NSAGs. It also called for strengthening of the criteria, claiming that the proposals on development and corruption were too vague.\nLiechtenstein supported the inclusive approach adopted by the Chair, while noting that no single delegation had a right to a veto.\nBurkina Faso stated that any proposed transfers that fell foul of the criteria should be denied.\nUK stated that the eight criteria as a basis for the risk assessment are a good basis for discussion. They proposed amendments to the introductory sentence for the criteria, calling for the replacement of the text with \u201cState shall apply the following criteria\u201d.\nEcuador also suggested that the criteria should include the violation of territorial integrity. It was concerned that certain criteria were too subjective, especially those relating to development, which it thought should be deleted.\nChina stated that the criteria used must be objective, pragmatic, balanced, and practical, and claimed that the criteria of transfer fell within the prerogative of States. On the issue of human rights and IHL, China stated that different States had adhered to different treaties. [Bloggers note: This is of course true, but customary IHL and IHRL, such as the right to life and to freedom from torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment apply to all States, irrespective of their treaty obligations.] On the proposed criteria of development and corruption, China felt that these criteria should be deleted. Finally, it called for a prohibition on export to NSAGs.\nC\u00f4te d'Ivoire made a long statement, accusing at least two States of supplying weapons in violation of an arms embargo. It warned of the problems of transfers to NSAGs.\nNorway supported the UK's statement on the chapeau paragraph. It stated that the ATT would be a complex instrument.\nSwitzerland called for the deletion of the second sentence of the chapeau paragraph. Switzerland suggested that the criterion on corruption might be redrafted in a way to actually linking the issue to the transfer of arms.\nSweden made an interesting intervention on the possible obligations under the treaty for States importing weapons or through which weapons transited, suggesting that different criteria would be needed.\nSingapore stated that universality would be needed for an effective ATT. It said that the standards laid down should be comprehensive, objective, and should command consensus.\nEgypt said that the ATT should apply to all States, not just those exporting. It felt that many of the criteria proposed were subjective and should be deleted, notably the references to IHL and IHRL, development, corruption, and organised crime. It even suggested a new provision whereby when a State met the remaining criteria, there should be an obligation to transfer \"on favourable conditions\", and \"without delay\".\nThe Netherlands supported other delegations calling for the chapeau to be strengthened. It stated that in no way should an ATT be considered to lead to an obligation to supply.\nRussia called for the treaty not to be \"politicised\". It must be universal, and with clear wording, and the provisions must be practically implementable. It called for only criteria that can be interpreted objectively to be included.\nCanada supported other delegations calling for the chapeau to be strengthened. It stated that although Canada believed in equality, \"not all criteria are created equal\". It suggested that certain criteria could be more hortatory (e.g. relating to development and corruption).\nMexico stated that the ATT should not be limited to exporter's obligations. It should provide for a dialogue between exporting and importing States. It called for criteria relating to IHL and IHRL to be dealt with separately.\nNigeria (on behalf of the African group) stated that the UN Register is not comprehensive enough for the ATT. It supported the 7+1+1 approach. Among the important issues to be covered by a future treaty, were victim assistance, respect for IHL and IHRL and the impact of the arms trade on the socio-economic situation of the recipient country. Nigeria also insisted that the ECOWAS convention was a good model for the ATT.\nAustria stressed the need to deal with corruption within the framework of the ATT to ensure an effective control of the arms trade.\nCuba stressed that the parameters for the future treaty must respect the right to self-defence, be non-discriminatory and objective. It believed that the references to arms embargoes was redundant since they are already obligations upon States. Cuba did not want any references to IHL, IHRL, or development as criteria. Cuba also believes that corruption is too vague as a parameter.\nLiberia referred to States in Africa using arms to oppress their own people.\nSpain does not support the proposed deletion of criteria relating to IHL, IHRL, or development. It also supported the deletion of \u201cas appropriate\u201d in the chapeau.\nThailand stated that human rights can be highly politicized unless there is a clear link between human rights and a proposed arms transfer.\nBurundi supports the inclusion of SALW in the scope of the treaty.\nFinland stated that the criteria proposed are similar to those used in their national practice. The following criteria merit highlighting: compliance with the State's international obligations in assessing transfers; compliance with IHL and IHRL; and risk of diversion. It welcomed the criterion dealing with corruption.\nUSA stated that the ATT should be considered as a floor and not a ceiling. Additional factors can be taken into account based on the state decision-making. The list of criteria/parameters is partly dependent on scope and national implementation. The chapeau of the paper should be modified. The US delegation was not supportive of language on development and corruption. Section II on sources of information to assess situations before transfers, should be deleted.\nIndia stated that the parameters should be objective, non-discriminatory, and predictable. Transfers to NSAGs should be prohibited. Criteria on development should be based on assessment made by UN bodies and be made objective and predictable.\nUruguay referred to the value of looking at, for example, the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which is a binding instrument addressing the transport of certain hazardous material.\nAlgeria stated it endorsed all human rights instruments but does not adopt the approach of regulating the trade of arms though IHRL.\nPakistan are of the opinion that the objectives of the ATT must be settled before working on the criteria. In any case, they want a treaty which is based on objective parameters.\nRussia reminds that vague criteria cannot be truly effective. There should be measures to ensure that the flow of arms that goes to illegal armed groups and organized crimes committing violations of human rights, be controlled and national control systems to regulate arms flow must then be strengthened. In Russia, for example, any illegal arms activity are severely punished by national criminal law.\nFrance noted that states seem to have two visions of the goals of an ATT. For certain states, the ATT should focus on the regulation of the illicit trade, for others, the ATT should deal with the issue of the international trade of weapons in a broad way. France wants a treaty that seeks to regulate legal as well as illegal trade. With regards to the text distributed by the Chair, this would not be the case now. For example, looking at the corruption provision, it can be thought either as a parameter for trade (assess the substantial risk of corruption before transfer), or it could be considered as a crime that should be dealt with along the lines of the relevant treaties on the issue.\nSenegal called for the chapeau language to be strengthened.\nSyria stated that an ATT should be based on the principles set out in the UN Charter. It should be free from politicisation and double standards, and therefore be non-discriminatory. Syria wanted to remove reference to human rights and IHL.\nIran made similar suggestions to Syria and called for a prohibition on arms transfers to terrorist groups.\nICRC called for the chapeau language to be strengthened and noted that it has published a guide on applying IHL criteria to a proposed arms transfer.",

        "raw_content": "Odom raises his hand when it comes to taking the blame\nSAN ANTONIO -- The media crowd pours into the cramped Lakers locker room, looking for the goat, braying for the bum, loaded for Lamar.\nHe calmly buttons his black-checked shirt and beats them to it.\n\"I put this one on myself,\" Lamar Odom announces. \"I take the blame, totally, for this game.\"\nThe Lakers had just lost Sunday to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, a 103-84 whipping that doubled as a three-hour embarrassment for their powerless power forward.\nWho calmly wipes the sweat from his bald head and keeps the heat on.\n\"There is no way I can play like that,\" he says. \"I've got to play better than that.\"\nA TV network asks him for a live interview, and he says sure.\n\"You were two for 11,\" the interviewer says.\n\"I also had five turnovers,\" he says.\nA writer asks him whether he can describe what happened, and he says of course.\n\"I got to the free-throw line and didn't make free throws. . . . [I] turned the ball over,\" he says. \"That's not good enough. Especially on the road with this type of atmosphere, this type of intensity.\"\nAnother writer asks whether he can talk about what happens next, and he says certainly.\n\"I don't sleep tonight,\" Odom says. \"I keep the TV off. I don't read the newspaper. I get out to practice tomorrow and get my butt to the free-throw line.\"\nYet another writer crosses the room and explains the entire conversation to Derek Fisher.\nFor the first time in this dreary postgame closet, somebody chuckles.\n\"There is no way on this good green earth that Lamar Odom cost us that game,\" Fisher says, smiling. \"But you know something? That is why we keep growing as a team. Because everybody in here makes themselves accountable. Nobody points fingers, everybody looks at themselves.\"\nIndeed, if the Lakers eventually win a championship, Odom's postgame confessional Sunday will rank as one of the important playoff moments.\nIf they don't, well, this awful loss will do all of the talking.\nThe Lakers had a chance to put the final crushing squeeze to the Spurs on Sunday, but they just didn't seem excited about squeezing.\nThe Lakers could have easily finished the Spurs on Sunday, but they didn't seem ready to finish.\nA two-games-to-none lead could have easily led to the start of a sweep, but it was as if the Lakers just didn't have the energy for the dirty work.\nYes, the Spurs' Manu Ginobili finally got hot with 30 points, his bad ankle suddenly healed, a miracle on AT&T Center Parkway.\nBut how many times is that other guard, Fisher, going to score only two points with one assist in nearly 30 minutes?\n\"We couldn't bring the game to their level,\" Fisher says.\nSure, the Spurs' Tim Duncan was consistently tough with 21 rebounds, and Tony Parker found his legs with nine baskets, many on layups.\nBut how many times is Kobe Bryant going to shoot only one free throw, and have only one assist?\n\"They put us back on our heels and we weren't able to elevate our defensive energy to match the speed of their game,\" Bryant says.\nWhen asked what caused the Lakers' troubles, their former teammate Robert Horry -- he still hasn't made a basket in this series -- was at least honest.\n\"It didn't have anything to do with us,\" he says.\nSo the Lakers lost a game, but not momentum, nothing that can't be taken back in Tuesday's Game 4.\nA bigger question is, have they lost Odom?\nAnd, if so, how can they find him again?\nIt is impossible to rip a guy who so badly rips himself.\nBut, with two lousy nights in the first three games of this series, Lamar Odom remains the embodiment of many Laker fans' fears.\nWhen it comes to unfamiliar championship pressure situations, they worry that he will either become inert or try to do too much.\nOn Sunday, it was both.\nThe Lakers began the second quarter with a 24-21 lead.\nThen Odom, um, er, took over.\nOdom is called for a three-second violation. Odom misses a jump shot.\nOdom holds the ball at the end of a 24-second violation. Odom fails to scramble for a rebound that is turned into a fastbreak Spurs layup.\nEven then, the Lakers are still trading leads, until Odom gives up after blocking a Duncan shot, allowing Duncan to tip in the follow shot over him.\nThen Odom misses two free throws, loses a dribble, misses a layup, then makes only one of two free throws.\n\"It definitely snowballed,\" Odom admits.\nBy the time the quarter ends, the Spurs lead, 49-39, and that is that.\nBy far, the Lakers' most impressive moment of the evening occurs when Odom takes blame for it afterward, yet another reason why he is perhaps the most beloved Laker in the locker room.\n\"This is reality, I'm a man, I have to accept it,\" he says.\nBut, by far, the Lakers' scariest moment is that, this late in the spring, Odom actually plays a game that requires such self-blame.\nIn saying that he needs to be better, Lamar Odom is honorably honest and admirably accountable.\nHe is also absolutely right.\nClippers still interested in Lamar Odom\nLamar Odom just wants to win",

He is known for establishing Singapore as a British port, as the author of The History of Java, and as a collector of natural history and cultural materials. Opinions of Raffles have changed over time. He has been viewed as a scholarly expert on the region, a progressive reformer, a committed imperialist, and even a plagiariser.\nIn keeping with the Asian Civilisations Museum\u2019s mission to explore encounters and connections, this exhibition presents a complex, multilayered picture of Raffles while presenting the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Java and the Malay world.\nThe presentation of this exhibition is a collaboration between the British Museum and the Asian Civilisations Museum.\nThe Asian Civilisations Museum has prepared a set of other activities accompanying the exhibition \u201cRaffles in Southeast Asia\u201d, including the following:\nContemporary artwork: \u201cNatural Progression\u201d, a work by artist Grace Tan, focuses on natural materials and human action, with parallels to the themes addressed in the exhibition\nAfter-hours curator tours on 20 February, 20 March and 17 April, where the exhibition curators will introduce the exhibition and tell behind-the-scenes stories.\nThe ACM Symposium: Revisiting Raffles, on 8-9 March, which will explore in greater depth the themes and topics presented in the show, involving speakers from several institutions.\nLectures providing further background to the topics and historical context of the exhibition.\nA catalogue accompanying the exhibition, comprising five essays as well as full-colour illustrations of all the exhibited objects, has also been published.\nFor additional information about \u201cRaffles in Southeast Asia: Revisiting the Scholar and Statesman\u201d, please visit https://www.acm.org.sg/whats-on/exhibitions/raffles-in-southeast-asia",

        "raw_content": "\u00ab The Ladies of Shymkent | Burned Bridges, Soviet Monuments, and a Man Named Berghoff \u00bb\nAlmaty\u2019s Finest\nAnd then we arrived in Almaty. It was the morning and the sun was blazing outside the window of our train car. Scott and I hustled to collect our things and grab the Speed TRs to get of the train before it headed to its next station.\nWe were not sure exactly where the station that we had arrived in was relative to the rest of the city, and knowing that there were very few cheap hotels that were authorized to admit foreigners, we figured it would be good to consult a map. The easiest to get to and most useful map we could think of was the one in the Lonely Planet PDFs on Scott\u2019s computer. Unfortunately, his computer had been drained down to the last drop the night before, so we needed some electricity. Thus began our journey around the station looking for an outlet. We found one, upstairs, behind the lip of what looked like an out-of-service wine bar concept.\nWe plugged in and were just booting up when we were apprehended by the railway police. They explained to me in Russian that what we had just done was in violation of the code of the railways, and therefore against Kazakh law. The police officer looked very sternly at the both of us, made a clicking sound in the back of his throat, and demanded to see our papers. We produced them.\n\u201cNot registered yet, I see,\u201d he muttered in Russian. \u201cYou have only two days left to do your registration\u2026\u201d He reluctantly handed back our documents and gruffly directed us to follow him to the elevator. As we headed over, he also pointed out that we had used the escalator to move our bikes, which it turns out is also against the code. I apologized to him a few more times. He brought us to the center of the railway station\u2019s lobby and told us to wait there for him, which we did.\nThen some more time went by, and he was nowhere to be seen. We scanned all around the station\u2026 where was he? Finally, we decided to just make a run for it, and walked our bikes out to the exterior of the station, asked another security guard for directions into town, quickly thanked him and raced off into the traffic.\nWe stopped for lunch at a pizza place we spotted on the way, not because we necessarily wanted pizza, but because we couldn\u2019t find a Kazakh restaurant. They\u2019d been easier to find in Tashkent! While at the restaurant, Scott plugged in his computer to charge and got on the phone with potential hotels. The pizza was okay, and the coffee, I think, was a little better than okay, but never trust an addict getting his first dose in a while.\nAs we munched pizza and mayonnaisey Russian salads, we commented on how much less of a food culture there was her than in the Uz. In Uzbekistan, there were amazing restaurants everywhere with very unique food. Here, on the other hand, it seemed as though the locals were looking to other cultures to tell them what to eat. Perhaps this was because the culture was nomadic. The Uzbeks had built great cities and had farmed, forged a civilization, and thrived in a sedentary way for the past 5,000 years. The Kazakhs on the other hand had been nomadic until the Russians came a few hundred years ago and began to trap them in cities, forcing them to consider things like restaurants.\nAll this discussion of the differences between Central Asian cultures was interesting, but we had some work to do. We wheeled hard into the city, and began stopping into hotels and checking the prices. One of the first that we found was actually a Chinese business hotel. The place looked amazing, and Scott was able to speak Chinese with them, but even with brotherhood pricing, it was a far cry from the normal Chinese business value. So we wheeled on.\nSoon we were in a dense market, and though all our investigations of maps and questioning of the locals had brought us here, there seemed no way, try as we might, to actually locate the place. At our wits end, and beginning to worry that we would not be able to find a hotel in time to register ourselves, we were suddenly accosted by two young women. \u201cWe are studying English,\u201d they said. \u201cWe heard you talking and wanted to know if you needed any help.\u201d\nThank goodness. Not only did they know of the hotel we were looking for, but they led us right to the door, commenting as we walked there that is was \u201cthe cheapest place to stay in all of Almaty that would not steal from your room.\u201d\nGreat. We thanked them profusely and checked in. We explained our predicament registration-wise to the front desk as follows: We had entered the Kazakh Republic on a Friday, too late in the day to register in Shymkent. Saturday and Sunday they had been closed, and now we were arriving on a Monday here, with tomorrow being the last day that we were eligible to register. The woman at the front desk commented that usually the registration takes a day or two, so if we were to have any hope of avoiding the $100 fine, we had better head out tout de suite.\nAnd so we did, armed with a few signed and stamped documents that the hotel had prepared for us and a little map leading to the OVIR. Unfortunately, the OVIR proved much harder to find than one might hope. As we continued to strike out on finding the place, we began to walk into more and more random businesses asking for help. A certain travel agency wrote a name, a phone number and some Russian words I did not understand on a yellow scrap of paper. I literally put this in my back pocket, hoping that we could find them without having to negotiate a miscommunication ridden phone conversation with someone whose relationship to the OVIR was in no way clear due to my poor understanding of Russian.\nSo we kept wheeling around the gently sloping streets of Almaty for hours, feeling the OVIR was always just around the corner, but becoming increasingly worried.\nI say gently sloping because the entire city of Almaty is on a hillside and gently slopes down to the north and up to the south \u2014 very confusing I know.\nWe were at our wit\u2019s end when we asked a particularly fabulous looking gentleman in the street for directions.\nHe was quite cordial with us, and immediately snapped to action. He did not know where the OVIR was, but he was willing to wander into a nearby hair salon, whipping the door open like a western gunslinger, and to get on the phone with the woman, Katya, whose number had been given to us by the travel agent whose office we\u2019d stopped into earlier.\nAnd so we began the process of hailing a cab. Like in Uzbekistan and Russia, all one needs to do is stick out one\u2019s hand, except that here in this city all the cars were actually quite nice, many of them were luxury brands, and it would not be uncommon to actually get a ride in a BMW or Lexus SUV as one was flagging down a cab.\nThe downside of this fact, we soon learned, is that many of them are unwilling to put folding bicycles into the back seats of their cabs, and that it\u2019s much more expensive. So it took us quite some time to find a cab, and even when we did find one, it was only willing to take us back to the hotel to drop off our bikes and not all the way out to the OVIR\u2026 or at least we thought we were going to the OVIR\u2026 until I asked our new friend.\n\u201cWhere are we going?\u201d I asked in Russian. You see, he spoke no English.\n\u201cTransavia,\u201d he replied.\nI had no idea where Transavia was, but we began piling our cycles into the cab. As we were doing so, a very animated fellow showed up on something that looked not unlike a folding bicycle. \u201cIt\u2019s my new invention!\u201d he called out to us, and began stammering in bits of English and Russian. I was interested, mostly because the man was obviously mad, but was forced to apologize, saying that we were in a bit of a hurry. We piled into the cab and sped off. Today seemed to get only stranger and stranger.\nWith bikes safely back at the hotel, the cab dropped us off in a giant towering development of mixed residential and corporate office space. All of our cell phones were out of batteries, so I ran over to a convenience store to buy us all some more credit for our SIM cards.\nAnd after a quick call we found the place.\nInside the building it was stark and white and very clean. Desks were lined up against each wall with strikingly similar looking blond women behind them, all typing away on computers. The entire room looked up at us as we came in.\nOur friend asked for Katya, which I remembered was the name on the card, and a beautiful woman came out from behind a door. I did my best to explain our situation to her, and our new friend chimed in where need be. Eventually she understood and told us not to worry, that she could help. And so we gave her our passports and left.\nIt felt great. Another problem vanquished due to AsiaWheeling\u2019s carefully honed radar telling us when to and when not to trust strangers!\nFeeling great, we asked our new friend if he might want to go out for a coffee or something on us. He seemed interested. He began to hail a cab, but we explained that we like to walk, and if he was okay with it we\u2019d prefer to move a little.\nHe seemed mildly pouty, but agreed. And we began to walk on, chatting. He explained to us how he worked as a hair dresser, how he had just saved up enough money to take out a lease on a new Lexus, telling us about his apartment, pointing out the handsome building in the distance. It really sounded like this guy was coming up in the world of men\u2019s hair in Almaty\u2026 who knew? He explained to us as we walked that Scott\u2019s shirt was too dirty. It\u2019s fine, we assured him, but he pressed on. \u201cIt\u2019s too dirty for my taste,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019d like you to get a new one.\u201d\nConsidering he\u2019d just saved our asses and all, we decided to humor him and we followed the guy into the Silkway City, a posh Almaty mall chain, where we purchased for Scott a tee-shirt with a giant \u201cI love Kazakhstan\u201d on the front.\nWith that done, we headed out in search of coffee, but ended up instead at what our friend claimed was his favorite place, a joint called the Caf\u00e9 Bar Excellent.\nIt was perhaps 6:30 pm and the place was almost completely empty. Our new friend decided to take bishop ordering for the table some pitchers of beer and a few plates of meat and French fries. It was, we were to learn, a Turkish restaurant, which is the most popular type of restaurant in Kazakh cities. I am not sure where the Turks get all this brand equity, but trust me, at least in Kazakhstan, they have it in spades.\nThis was fine with us, we were hungry anyway, and so we dug in, and enjoyed the beer. It was Heineken, the expensive stuff, not nearly as tasty as Shymkenskoye but as it is always, consistently not bad.\nCommunicating with this guy was tough. He spoke no English whatsoever and had very little patience for my poor Russian. But struggle on we did, into the evening, continuing to eat and chat as the sun ducked below the horizon. When the bill came, our friend made no pretense of paying a cent, but we figured he had helped us today, and so we paid and got ready to leave, explaining to him that we had a lot of work to do.\nHe then began to get very disgruntled. \u201cDon\u2019t leave!\u201d he pleaded with us. \u201cWhy won\u2019t you stay longer with me?\u201d We attempted to explain that we were tired, that we had lots of correspondence to write for you, dear reader, but he was not having it. He was becoming quite upset, and putting his foot down. \u201cNo! Stay!\u201d\nHe then began to explain to us about his friends who he wanted us to meet. He told us about all the beautiful women who would be joining us, along with a photographer from (presumably Russian) Vogue.\nFinally, in an exhausted last ditch effort, we were able to leave, but only promising that we would meet back up with him when we were done working. As we parted ways he demanded cab money from us (and quite a lot of money at that\u2026 twice as much as our cab fare) to get back to his place. This we gave him as well. As we piled into the cab, I turned back to Scott, letting him know that I was too exhausted by this character to do any more hanging out tonight. \u201cMy recommendation is that we just screen his calls,\u201d I said.\nScott felt obliged to spend more time with the guy, and figured it may not be all that bad. \u201cI\u2019d like to meet this photographer from Vogue,\u201d he said. And so it was that I went off to sleep, and Scott headed out to reencounter our fabulous friend\u2026\nAs Woody settled into bed, my phone rang at 10:00 pm on the dot when our purple-shirted and elaborately coiffed friend said he would be calling. He was outside, and so I descended the stairs and spilled onto the filthy, poorly lit street surrounded by deserted market stalls.\nThere was no Lexus in sight, so I moved further into the street to peer in both directions. Just then, a station wagon pulled up and dispensed Mr. Fabulous. Now began the first extended Russian language practice session I had on my own.\nAfter greetings, I asked him, \u201cWhere are you friends?\u201d He replied with something like \u201cOh..friends. Astana. They\u2019re all in Astana, darling. Yes, Astana.\u201d\nOh, okay. Well, do you have none here? Who are we meeting?\nI was told to hush, and decided to be patient and give him the benefit of the doubt. We walked to find a place to chill. Oddly enough, despite passing numerous attractive and lively options, we found ourselves back at the overpriced and not-so-great Cafe Bar Excellent.\nI decided to bide my time and converse with this fellow as much as possible. After rudimentary English and Russian lessons, I asked again, \u201cAre you friends coming? Are we going to meet them?\u201d He seemed to be assuring me that there would be some further socializing while periodically whipping out his mobile phone and firing off text messages.\nTime passed, and we ordered another drink. I was starting to grow impatient and suspicious, as I could barely think of enough things to mime or express in completely mutilated Russian. He certainly wasn\u2019t talking about much but seemed to be enjoying himself.\nAfter hours passed, I motioned that we should be leaving, and if we were going to meet someone else we could find another spot. We asked for the bill, and a waitress, who probably wondered who this odd couple was, brought it to the table. And there it sat. I waited for Mr. Fabulous to make a movement. Maybe toward his wallet or maybe toward the bill. He did not stir.\nI brought it up in pantomime, motioning toward the check, suggesting we go Dutch, or do it the German way as the Turkish say. He had no money, it seemed. Exasperated, I paid and got up.\nWe strolled down the street for a bit and I signaled that I\u2019d be heading home to catch some shuteye. He brought up his friends once more, and not understanding what he was trying to communicate, I followed him into a park and sat on a bench as he made a call on his phone. After the phone call, he began to make moves. Big moves. And I was not about to make out with a Kazakh guy in a park in the middle of the night.\n\u201cHey man,\u201d I said in Russian, \u201cI like girls.\u201d Literally translated, I told him, \u201cI have once reveled in a woman.\u201d It was all I could say.\nThere were no friends. He spoke no English. No photographer from Vogue. No effort to pay bill. Where the hell was I?\nHad my people sensor somehow gotten warped? His fragility and helpful nature seemed to suggest that he was not one to be a predator, though he\u2019d been weaving complex webs. \u201dI\u2019ve got to get out of here,\u201d I resolved.\n\u201cWait!\u201d he exclaimed, and communicated that he had no money for a cab home. How did he get here in the first place, I wondered? \u201dLook,\u201d I told him in English, hoping my tone would permeate any language barriers, \u201cI\u2019m not paying your cab fare. You relied on us for dinner, for cabs, for an entire evening, and you lied to us. Find your own way home.\u201d\nWas this the right thing to do? Or was I being shallow? Tough love isn\u2019t easy. It\u2019s tough (as the name implies). I had never said this kind of thing to anyone. But something compelled me to simultaneously cut my losses and teach this guy a lesson.\nSo I began walking. Not wanting to take cab myself for the couple of blocks home, I strolled north down Almaty\u2019s slope back toward the hotel.\nAs I turned the corner onto the street of our hotel, a police car pulled around me from behind and three officers alighted from the vehicle. I was certainly the only thing they were interested in.\n\u201cDocumenti,\u201d they signaled, \u201cpapers.\u201d I gulped.\nMy passport was at Transavia for registration, so I produced a photocopy and records of my flight and visa to the country. This seemed not to interest them. I was told to empty my pockets on their patrol car. Keys, wallet, cell phone, some random receipts now laid on their trunk.\n\u201cHave you been drinking?\u201d the cop signaled, placing two fingers on his neck, as is the Russian custom. \u201dA little\u201d, I replied.\n\u201cNarcotics? Drugs?\u201d\n\u201cNo, none, not at all.\u201d\n\u201cYour shoes. Take off your shoes. We need to check them. Unlace them.\u201d\nI bent down to untie the shoes, and midway through I was instructed to stop. \u201dGet out of here,\u201d they motioned. I put my possessions back in my pockets. And I was free.\nWalking away, I checked my wallet. It was lighter. Not the kind of lighter when Kazakh Tenge is missing. The kind of lighter when the proud greenbacks of Barack Obama have been embezzled and siphoned into the hands of Almaty\u2019s finest.\nAnd right then, at the entrance to our hotel, two men with beers in hand seemed thrilled to see me. They cheered \u201cI love Kazakhstan,\u201d and insisted we take a photo. So here I am, in Almaty, at the end of one of the weirdest days of my life, loving Kazakhstan.\nThis entry was posted on Sunday, December 12th, 2010 at 8:25 am and is filed under Kazakhstan, Pictures, Scott, Uncategorized, Wheeling, Woody.

        "title": "Back Beat Seattle | Show Review: Mark Lanegan @ the Neptune",
        "raw_content": "Show Review: Mark Lanegan @ the Neptune\nMark Lanegan @ the Neptune, 10/29/14\nShow Review by Ira Leonard\nMark Lanegan is a performer of such striking gravitas that I am certain he could stand at a microphone and read from a Betty Crocker cookbook and it would be compelling. Blessed with a baritone voice of unburnished gold, a natural sense of timing with regard to his vocal phrasing that cannot be taught or learned, and the soul of \u201ca poet who died in the gutter\u201d (to borrow a phrase from Bob Dylan), Lanegan exudes an ageless cool even the most contrarian breed of hipster cannot deny. As he stands at the threshold of his fiftieth birthday, he refuses to partake in any talk of Grunge revivalism or reunion tours with any of his former bands, most famously Seattle\u2019s own Screaming Trees, but also Queens Of the Stone Age and the Gutter Twins (a collaboration with Greg Dulli of the Afghan Whigs). On the heels of 2013\u2019s Imitations, a cover album which found Lanegan interpreting standards such as \u201cAutumn Leaves\u201d and \u201cMack the Knife,\u201d as well as more modern chestnuts by the likes of Neil Sedaka and Nick Cave, Mark has returned this year with a brand new album of original material, Phantom Radio. He is supporting the album with a tour that graced Seattle\u2019s Neptune Theatre on October 29th.\nPhantom Radio is a solid effort in terms of songwriting and musicianship, featuring many notable contributions from Alain Johannes (who also produced the record) on guitar. Much has been made of the drums on the album, which are mostly electronic by way of an iPhone app called Funkbox. Upon first listen I was admittedly disappointed with many of the electronic drum beats on Phantom Radio, but the songs, performed live with a topnotch, in the flesh drummer gave them a sense of dynamics and excitement that I felt was lacking on the recording. The set started with \u201cThe Gravedigger\u2019s Song,\u201d the principle single from Lanegan\u2019s critically-acclaimed 2012 effort, Blues Funeral. The pounding, insistent drums and textural guitar work of Jeff Fielder provided the perfect sonic envelope for Mark\u2019s lyrical themes of love, torture, and death. The band then launched into \u201cHarvest Home,\u201d the first of six songs they would play that evening from Phantom Radio. The slightly gothic-tinged music and spirited performance from the band made this number an early highlight of the concert. The same may be said for \u201cOne Way Street,\u201d the gritty ballad that serves as the first track from 2001\u2019s masterpiece, Field Songs. Lanegan\u2019s rendering of a ballad has a unique quality of achieving heart-wrenching drama without a lot of overwrought hand-wringing, using understatement as his biggest ally in the tradition of another celebrated baritone, Frank Sinatra. Nowhere in the set was this quality more apparent than on the beautiful \u201cResurrection Song,\u201d on which Lanegan explores the upper reaches (relatively speaking) of his vocal range supported only by the sparest of guitar accompaniment.\nThe second half of the Mark Lanegan Band\u2019s set saw the debut of two more songs from Phantom Radio: \u201cFloor of the Ocean\u201d and \u201cWaltzing in Blue.\u201d The former is a synth-driven soundscape with a bit of a New Order tinge to it. The latter, not technically a waltz despite the title, maintained the synthesizer-based instrumentation to a more somber, contemplative effect. Mark then paid homage to a band he has cited as one of his biggest influences, the Leaving Trains, with a cover version of their song \u201cCreeping Coastline of Lights.\u201d While glancing in the rear view mirror at his distant musical past, Lanegan also worked in the lone Screaming Trees song of the evening \u201cBlack Rose Way.\u201d The band then favored the audience with five encore songs, three of which (\u201cJudgment Time,\u201d \u201cThe Wild People,\u201d and \u201cI Am the Wolf\u201d) were new compositions from Phantom Radio. The evening concluded with the dark, noise-rock catharsis of \u201cMethamphetamine Blues,\u201d a standout track from Lanegan\u2019s 2004 album, Bubblegum. He then bade the crowd a barely audible \u201cgoodnight\u201d \u2013 the first time all evening the singer had spoken to them \u2013 except briefly to introduce his band. Yet no one in the audience could have mistaken Mark Lanegan\u2019s between-song stoicism for rudeness or aloofness. It is simply a part of his mystique. And after nine studio albums under his own name, as well as numerous successful bands and collaborations, it is a well-deserved mystique that continues to grow with each new musical offering.\nFiled Under Show Reviews\nThis entry was tagged ira leonard, mark lanegan.

        "raw_content": "Scott DeGarmo passed away on Saturday, August 15, at his home in Riverdale, N.Y., after a battle well fought against pancreatic cancer. Once described by his friend and author Ben Compaine as \u201ca magazine editor in an entrepreneur\u2019s body,\u201d Scott had a long and varied career in newspapers, magazines and, most recently, as owner of Broadband Communities. Born and raised in the Coconut Grove section of Miami, Scott left college after his sophomore year in 1963 to work at the Washington Star as a copy boy. He was soon doing reporting as well. He went on to the Southern Courier, a civil rights weekly newspaper dedicated to reporting the stories not being covered by the mainstream media. Just 22, he spent months traveling across Alabama, writing articles and interviewing the brave local people involved in the movement, as well as luminaries like Rosa Parks. After a stint at UPI in the Atlanta bureau, he returned to the University of Florida to finish his degree, where he met his wife, Barbara, in a Spanish conversation class. After graduation, he joined the St. Petersburg Times, where he became editor of the Floridian, the paper\u2019s Sunday magazine. He and his family moved to Philadelphia in 1973 when he was hired to be editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer\u2019s Sunday magazine. In 1976, the family moved to New York, when Scott was named editor of Family Weekly, the national Sunday supplement magazine that appeared in hundreds of newspapers across the country. He went on to redesign and edit Science Digest for Hearst Magazines and then became editor in chief of Success Magazine, as well as publisher. After leaving Success in 1997, Scott began to practice the entrepreneurship he\u2019d been preaching, buying and running Broadband Properties in 2004. He turned the company into a recognized leader in the fiber to the home field, endlessly advocating for the need for enhanced broadband connections. Scott is survived by his wife of 47 years, Barbara, and his beloved daughters Madden Manion (Terrance) and Julie DeGarmo (Douglas Dietrich); his four wonderful grandchildren, Jack Manion, Tommy Manion, Anika Dietrich and Graydon Dietrich, and his brother, John DeGarmo, and sister, Mary Toof. A memorial service celebrating Scott\u2019s life will be held August 21 at 12:30 p.m. at Riverdale-on-Hudson Funeral Home, 6110 Riverdale Ave, Bronx N.Y. (See Riverdale-on-Hudson.com.) Donations may be made in Scott\u2019s name to curepc.org.\nWe learned this morning about Scott\u2019s untimely passing. Scott was a good friend to Spot On Networks and helped us in our infancy to grow. More importantly, Scott was a mentor to many of us who serve the multifamily industry and he also helped put high speed broadband on the map for many of the multifamily building owners and managers.\nOur condolences to the entire BBC Mag family.\nRichard J. Sherwin\nScott and I had an interesting and multi-faceted relationship. He understood the significance of the transformation of the private cable business to a full-fledged broadband industry powered by fiber-optic technologies, and effectively followed (and led) his industry to a revived and amplified vision of its possibilities. His broadband Summits have been wonderfully expansive celebrations of this industry, and his magazines have been a must-have catalog of the players, arguments and controversies in the industry. We will miss him!\nI am so sorry to hear the news about Scott. Heather emailed me in the wee hours of the morning to say that he passed away over the weekend. Although the prognosis wasn\u2019t great, the last I\u2019d heard he had responded really well to treatment and I thought he was holding his own.\nMy thoughts are with you on this huge loss of a friend and colleague. I was very fond of Scott and he was always so nice to me. I shall miss his very distinctive voice and watching him work the crowd in Lexington. He\u2019ll just be working it from a different angle.\nLaurie Poole, Director\nMembership & Industry Relations\nI knew Scott was ill but I had no idea that it was terminal. Scott was a long time friend of mine and of the company and he will be sorely missed. For those of you who knew Scott I know this will come as a shock. We will be sending our prayers and best wishes to the staff at Broadband and his family.\nPlease, if there is anything I can do to help let me know. I truly loved his vision and committeemen to the broader concepts of information brokerage.\nMy deepest condolences to all those at Broadband and his family.\nKorcett\nI am saddened to hear about Scott\u2019s passing. He was a wonderful person to deal with and always had a passion for the Magazine and Summit. He will be missed. I pray that strength and comfort come to his family and close friends as they grieve this loss.\nDirector \u2013 Cloud & Services Marketing\nI\u2019m so very sad to hear this loss. He was a wonderful man, and I also considered him a friend.\nWhat a fabulous tribute to him on your website. Some of it I knew about from our conversations over the years (including that he worked for the St Pete Times here), but I didn\u2019t realize how involved he was in writing about the civil rights movement.\nThe world lost a good one on Saturday\u2026.\nTricia French\nVerizon Enhanced Communities\nSuch as sad week. We all knew the drive and passion Scott had for all things \u2018broadband\u2019. I knew some of information in what has been written on the website and on the Baller List. The Henry Ford quote that comes to mind is \u201cyou can\u2019t build a reputation on what you\u2019re going to do\u201d. Scott certainly built his reputation on getting it done.\nOnly thing else I can say is I believe Scott would tell us all to \u2018carry on\u2019.\nOur deepest condolences to Scott's immediate family and his extended family, the BBC family.\nex2 Technology\nFrom all of us at ETI Software, we offer our sincere condolences on the passing of Scott DeGarmo. He was a champion of fiber technology and a long-time supporter of ETI and its growth over the years. He had an enthusiasm for his customers and his craft that was undeniable; working with him was a pleasure. We will keep his family and colleagues in our thoughts and prayers.\nFrank Gine\nWhen I heard the news, I cried. I cried for his family, for his friends, and for his colleagues because I know he will be sorely missed. I have worked with Scott over the past 6 years and as the years have passed, our partnership has grown and my respect for him even more so. He was a man of integrity and had such a radiant spirit. He always challenged me, made me feel like I was a part of the BBC team, and genuinely cared about my opinions. I feel so privileged to have known and worked with Scott. I will miss him.\nThuy Woodall\nSenior Manager, National Sponsorships & Events\nI just heard of Scott DeGarmo's passing and wanted to send my sincere condolences. I always enjoyed talking to Scott and I know he was a pleasure to be around. Thinking of you all during this time.\nI met Scott in 2004 at an industry conference when he was just starting out at the magazine. He had a grand vision of capitalizing on many of the new trends in our market, and saw tremendous opportunity to tap into these new areas. You could tell immediately that he had the passion and enthusiasm and ideas to broaden the reach and success of the magazine.\nOver the next decade, he turned the magazine and conference into a huge success, with every brand name telecom company attending to share and hear new ideas about fiber to the home, or the MDU market. His style for leadership was one of integrity, and what-can-I-do-for-you, not the other way around. He built a bigger tent to cover all areas of the industry and did a great job of outreach to every area of the market.\nIn 2012, he and I spoke about starting a campaign called \"Band Together To Defeat Autism\", an idea that started with my family, but put into affect by Scott. He allowed us to use the conference as our platform to get the message out about autism awareness and research, and we raised over $10,000 that year. It was incredible to see everyone at the conference that year wearing our purple \"Band Together\" bracelets.\nI will continue to wear mine in Scott's remembrance. He was a great man, business person, professional and advocate for all things broadband. And he understood how to use people's individual talents to move the ball forward for the benefit for all.\nScott, you will certainly be missed.\nBryan Rader\nBandwidth Consulting LLC\nScott served an important role as a symbolic patriarch for our little broadband community, and we all would gather annually and then semi-anually based on the community he created and fostered. Scott\u2019s vision and care for our industry will be missed \u2013 but even more, his ability to get \u201cthe family together\u201d on a regular basis will be a void that will be tough to fill.\nI was so sorry to hear of Scott\u2019s passing this morning. I\u2019ve known Scott since he purchased Broadband Properties back in 2004 and have considered him a friend, mentor, and advocate. We shared many a great conversation over the years on both a professional and personal level and he will be sorely missed. Scott leaves behind an amazing legacy and my thoughts are with Scott\u2019s family and with the wonderful folks of Broadband Communities Magazine.\nSteve Sadler\nDirector, Multifamily Development\nI am saddened to learn of Scott's passing this weekend. His smile, kindness, intellect and passion for broadband will be missed by many. It was a pleasure to work with him over the years. My condolences go out to his family and many friends.\nCheryl Barraco Jordan\nSenior Director - Corporate & Investment Services\nSo sorry to hear about this. My condolences to you and the rest of the team.\nMatt Ternes\nI was greatly saddened to hear of Scott's passing. I enjoyed working with Scott the few years I served on the ownership advisory for the Broadband Communities Summit. He was incredibly interested to hear and discuss the issues within the industry as well as thoughtful with questions.\nScott will certainly be missed and will be in thoughts and prayers.\nDirector, Resident Technology Services\nThis is very sad news indeed. On behalf of the entire COS team I would like to express our deepest condolences to you at the magazine and if you are close to Scott's family also them. We really enjoy working with you and we've always looked forward to our trips to your shows and meeting Scott for a chat has always been among the highlights. We did miss him in Austin and I know he will be missed for a long time to come.\nWe look forward to meeting you all in Kentucky and I have no doubts it will be a great event in Scott's spirit.\nIsak Finer\nWow\u2026 so sorry to hear this. We lost our founder, Lon Rosado, last December and I know what this can mean to an organization/family. This industry breeds some great people and Scott was certainly one of them. I\u2019m truly sorry for your loss.\nGarrick Russell\nGLDS\nI was so sad to hear of Scott\u2019s passing and I have been thinking about what a wonderful person he was and how much he has contributed to our industry.\nI met Scott back in 2005 when I was Chairman of the FTTH Council. At the time, the FTTH Council and Broadband Communities were somewhat competitors, vying for the same vendors for sponsorship, and the same clientele to attend our conferences. Our annual conferences were only weeks apart. At the time, vendors and conference attendees would try to decide which conference to attend and most of the time, would not attend both. Scott and I were like-minded back then and thought the industry, with it being in its infancy, was too young to have such competition. We decided to be collaborators instead of competitors and started working together. We collaborated on our scheduling of conferences and summits and decided to have Broadband Communities\u2019 annual conference in the spring and the Council\u2019s in the fall. We collaborated on the first Fiber Primer; an education tool that is still used today to help provide pertinent information regarding all-fiber networks. We worked together on the content of the magazine and shared information on contributors and in the process of working together, we became friends.\nSince then, Scott and the rest of the staff at Broadband Communities have been very supportive of me and NEO Fiber. I am grateful for all of that support and feel honored to have had the chance to work with him. When I was told that Scott was battling cancer, I called him to ask how he was doing and to see how I could help. He told me during that conversation that at this point, if this was indeed the end of his life, that he was good with it. He told me that he loved his wife and family and that he was grateful for all that has happened in his life. I suppose that is all that truly matters. Thank you Scott for your dedication, your vision, and your contribution to this industry. More importantly, thank you for your support, your light approach to life and for your friendship. We will all miss you.\nNEO Fiber\nSo sorry to hear that. In my opinion, Scott led an extremely important organization. It\u2019s not an overstatement to say that our country\u2019s competitiveness is at stake because the nation\u2019s incumbents are not investing in broadband the way they should, and Scott DeGarmo is one of the people who did something about it.\nCity of Lexington, KY\nI\u2019m sad to hear of Scott\u2019s passing and the broadband community has lost a real champion. When I last spoke with Scott, he shared with me about his cancer, but he wanted to focus on the next Broadband Communities Summit in Lexington and ensuring its success like all the other Summits. Reflecting upon that conversation, I realized how strongly Scott wanted to leave a legacy of his work and commitment to enhancing broadband in all communities. He has done that.\nI\u2019m glad I had the chance to tell Scott a number of times that his broadband conferences were the best in bringing together vendors, practitioners, and users \u2013 what I consider fundamentally important to advancing the broadband agenda. It\u2019s been an honor and pleasure to participate, discuss agenda and speakers with Scott, and present at Broadband Communities Summits over the last ten years.\nStrategic Networks Group extends our condolences to Scott\u2019s family and the Broadband Communities team \u2013 he will be missed.\nMichael Curri\nStrategic Networks Group\nSo sorry to hear of the loss of such a great leader. I know he will be missed.\nScott will be missed, he was a positive force in our industry. Please convey my condolences to his family and associates.\nWalt Donovan\nMy condolences to you and the rest of the BBC family. I enjoyed seeing Scott and the BBC trade shows when I was involved in this part of the industry. Great guy; positive, enthusiastic and passionate.\nLinnea Wilkes\nSales Development Manager, Wireless Markets\nTo my friends at Broadband Communities Magazine and to Scott\u2019s family,\nPlease accept my sincere condolences on your loss. Scott was a true professional, as well as a kind and respected individual. It was always a pleasure to work with him and he will be missed by all he touched in our industry. On behalf of Clearfield, I send our thoughts and prayers to all that were close to Scott that your sadness will soon fade and good memories will carry you through.\nCheri Beranek\nMy prayers are with Broadband Communities and Mr. DeGarmo\u2019s family.\nMesh Networks, LLC\nDeep, deep condolences - I really enjoyed talking with Scott over the years and saw what he accomplished. We will miss him and my condolences to the family at BBC.\nBroadband Enterprise\nI\u2019m saddened by the news of Scott\u2019s passing. We knew that he was very ill but hoped the treatments would bring him through. Scott was a mainstay of the broadband industry and a friend and mentor for many. Condolences to the DeGarmo family, the staff of Broadband Communities and his many close friends. We will all miss him greatly.\nLin Atkinson\nGeneral Manager \u2013 National Accounts\nOn Saturday I lost a real friend, a confident and an industry icon. Scott was a legend and visionary in his own time. He had the foresight to predict what now is a rising tide of the acceptance and promulgation of broadband delivered over deep fiber. I will truly miss our NYC dinners and our heart-to-heart conversations. The Broadband Communities Team has some very big shoes to fill and I am sure they will. Scott in my mind was a true Mensch.\nMay Scott\u2019s memory be for an eternal Blessing.\nInfiniSys\nEvery April and issue, Scott brought smiles to our faces while ensuring our education. He will be greatly missed and our industry will never be the same.\nI last saw Scott in January over a sushi dinner together with my wife, discussing our families, especially the grandchildren, and talking shop on the future of the industry. Scott was so full of life and big ideas. I am saddened and shocked to hear of his passing.\nMy sincere condolences to his family, everyone at BBC Magazine and all those who called Scott a friend.\nI will remember Scott as an innovator and visionary who promoted so many new ideas with the magazine. He realized the impact that BBC could have as a forum for discussion and innovation in a rapidly changing industry landscape. Scott invested tremendous efforts to nurture the people and ideas with the potential to transform the industry, as broadband became so crucial to daily life and to promote economic development.\nThe industry has lost an amazing person and dear friend who enabled so much, he will be greatly missed.\nXLR8.Partners\nWe are very saddened to hear the news of Scott\u2019s passing. His enthusiasm and overall energy for the technology, combined with his interest in the people behind it, truly benefitted the space. He will be greatly missed.\nJeff Mulqueen\nScott\u2019s generosity and always very sincere support for my work has been crucial in building my law practice, and therefore also crucial to our (my wife and my) success. I will always be grateful to Scott.\nI hope that together we can all carry on Scott\u2019s legacy and that I can continue to contribute to the magazine\u2019s success.\nCarl Kandutsch\nLaw Office of Carl E. Kandutsch\nI had the unique opportunity to work with Scott and witness directly his dedication to both bringing this industry together and moving it forward. Scott created more than a publication and a conference, he created a community. Broadband Communities magazine and summit is a bond that many of us in the industry share, a unique connection that enabled us to grow important personal and professional relationships. My gratitude to Scott for all he did to advance our industry.\nJeffrey M. Reiman\nVP Business Strategy\nThe Broadband Group\nScott\u2019s vision always seemed to go well beyond those of a typical magazine publisher \u2013 subscribers and profits. I first had the opportunity to meet Scottas he was investigating getting involved with Broadband Properties magazine and he wanted information about the industry, and how he might fit in.\nScott was a good businessman and promoter of course, but his goals went beyond that. He did more than just report on a community, he became a part of it and found ways to make a real difference. He wanted to facilitate knowledge, education, and networking. He wanted to complement, not compete, with other groups in the space. Over the next decade, he accomplished those goals and more.\nHe ran a good race to the end. We will all miss him.\nRVA LLC\nScott was one of the \u201cgood guys\u201d in our industry. His activities and efforts were always for the good. He made many friends and made few enemies. I admired his dedication and his willingness to always do the right thing. As a person, he was a warm friend to me; and an excellent ally in our pursuit of Gigabits and FTTH. We will miss him and mourn his early passing.\nScott was a good friend and leader. We, at Cox Communications, were fortunate to have worked with him on several initiatives. We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends and the exceptional team at Broadband Communities.\nThe Cox MDU Team\nMaggie Halverson\nExtending our deepest condolences to the Broadband Communities team during this time of difficult loss. I was saddened to hear the news of Scott\u2019s passing. Cancer has touched too many lives, and we know how heavily Scott\u2019s loss will be felt. I would like to acknowledge Scott\u2019s support of PCOs and independent broadband providers everywhere. Scott has always been sure to include IMCC as a co-host at the Broadband Communities Summit, and allowed us to have a voice for important issues. His vision and leadership will be missed. Keeping his Broadband Communities family close at heart, and thinking of you all. Please extend our sympathies to his family and loved ones.\nSending peace and comfort,\nValerie M. Sargent\nIndependent Multi-Family Communications Council (IMCC)\nI am so sorry to hear about Scott. I did not know that he was fighting this cancer. He was such a gentleman when I had met him. I am praying for him and his family.\nWhat can I say that hasn't already been said. You lost a great leader and the industry lost an ICON! My heart weighs very heavy with this news and I send to you my heartfelt condolences and sympathy to each and every one of you at BBC. You are left to carry on and he had a great team and I know you will accommodate his wishes.

Scott was a leader ahead of his time in the world of community broadband, and his foresight and leadership were instrumental in the rapid and continuing expansion of community broadband. His passing is met with deep sadness and a void which will be difficult to fill. We have been personally honored to consider Scott our friend foremost and colleague in the professional pursuits of broadband deployment.

For us to lose such a visionary and leader in our publication and industry was devastating. Still reeling from the loss, I think of Scott\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit when I first read his business plan for the magazine in 2004.\nSuch a vision for bringing fiber to the home, it was exhilarating and even more exciting to watch him turn a small conference into a \u201ccan\u2019t miss\u201d Summit. With all vendors, operators and attendees appreciating Scott\u2019s work of complementing the industry always looking for cooperation among the players.

        "title": "Brett Rogers' Story of Red Pepper and Onion",
        "raw_content": "Start writing! Now! As Oliver Stone wrote: 'Writing = ass in chair.'\n-- Howard Gordon\nThe Story of \"Red Pepper and Onion\"\nIt's been over a month since I last painted. And like, I forgot how.\nFor the last month, my brain has been in high gear to get this web site done. Lots of lots of left-brained activity. In that mode, I think fast and I run at it to get it done. Plus, I've had some high octane projects to do at work, so speed has been my way of getting around.\nBut not so with painting. It's about slowing down, and getting to know the subject, and seeing past my preconceptions. Which of course, I didn't do.\nI bought a grill today. It was a cheap grill, but a grill nonethless, and I'm probably the only 40-year-old man in America who has never used a gas grill in his life. So in honor of my first grilling and since I've been away from it for so long, I thought I would paint. I chose a picture of a red pepper and onions, which was part of tonight's very scrumptious steak dinner.\nNice picture. And in my mind, I thought, well this should be easy.\nBut that's the trick, see. Every painting is equally as \"hard.\" I forgot to rid my mind of the idea that I'm painting a red pepper and a sliced onion. So my first attempt at this gorgeous red pepper looked more like a sketch of Bob the Tomato.\nPainting is good for me. I'll take a crack at this in the morning.\nIt is the next morning, and I've slowed it down a bit. I started with an outline sketch...\nMy sketch is a bit taller than the original picture, but I'm okay with that. On to the color, eh? Let's start with the pepper itself.\nWhen I first looked at it, I wondered if I had a red bright enough to paint this. I mean, that looks like a brilliant red.\nBut on closer inspection, other colors began to come out. It's not really a true red; it's more of a rich pink. There's a bit of white in it. And there is yellow and purple in the highlights.\nTo confirm it, I loaded it into Microsoft Photo Editor and zoomed in. Check this out.\nYou see the yellow and the purple? And then I color-matched the reddest pixel in this close-up and its RGB value is red-255, green-29, blue-21. The green and the blue make a white shade when combined with the red, so this is like 8 1/2 parts red and 1 part white.\nAlso, at this close view, you forget that it's a red pepper. I believe that anyone could paint that little swatch and be fairly accurate. Why? Because it's no longer a red pepper. It's now just colors: reddish-pink, yellow, purple, and white. Paint a bunch of little swatches like this and it's - ta-da - a painting of a red pepper and a sliced onion.\nIt's hard work to unlearn. It's also critical to learn how to do this.\nThe Creating Passionate Users blog has a very succinct post on this.\nYes, we're under pressure to learn more and to learn quickly, but the future goes to those who can unlearn faster than the rest, because you can't always learn something new until you first let go of something else. And learning to let go of rules is one of the first things we (and our managers) have to learn to be quicker at.\nSometimes that means letting go of something that served you well for a long time.\nThey point to smart guy, John Seely Brown. Go read it.\nAll of this is a good reason why today's schools don't teach what people need to know - especially MBA colleges. Jack Welch said, \"I am convinced that if the rate of change inside an organization is less than the rate of change outside, the end is in sight.\"\nThe same could be said of us. I think seeing truly and unlearning are two of the greatest skills in life.",

        "raw_content": "I\u2019m trying to get my father-in-law to attend talks or join a support group for primary caregivers. He is the primary caregiver for his Alzheimer\u2019s Syndrome-stricken wife.\nHe sees himself as having no options. This is his plight (as if he were Job). He seems to be very self-pitying, very depressed, and feels completely unappreciated. He is also coping with difficulties between himself and his two adult daughters, one of whom lives with him.\nIt is truly a mess but he has done nothing to help himself as the situation worsened over the past few years. My wife, the only kid without problems like her sisters, lives with me in DC and works killer hours as a partner in a huge law firm. She really doesn\u2019t have enough time to assist on a daily (or even weekly) basis.\nI believe he really needs a support group that meets regularly and probably a good psychologist. I suggested that he talk with his Rabbi as an option but he says that with all he has been through, he has lost faith. Do you have any recommendations for getting him into a support group, or other thoughts?\nIt is hard to get men to join support groups and share feelings. What is often more effective is for someone\u2014and that would mean you at this point\u2014to be an active listener for him. That means let him talk, but show with your facial expression, eye contact, and body movements (like turning toward him when he talks or leaning forward to show interest) that you are really listening to his words. The more he can talk without interruption, the more likely he will begin to hear himself more clearly and realize what he needs to do.\nTell him that one powerful way to find resolutions is for him to ask himself, \u201cWhat am I to learn from this?\u201d Tell him that he should ask that question of himself separately for the situation he finds himself in now as primary caregiver for his wife, and then ask it of himself the question again focusing on the difficulties he is having with his daughters.\nThank you seems so small for what you have done for me and my family!!\nIn 2010, at the age of 61, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 kidney cancer. Otherwise healthy, active, and weight appropriate, with no history of this disease in my family I was stunned and very frightened. Your books gave me the hope I could not find anywhere else.\nAfter the surgery which removed my right kidney and a tumor which, in the words of my doctor, was the size of a \u201csmall watermelon\u201d I underwent two weeks of radiation to stop the cancer in my hip. I then signed up for Interleukin II treatments at the University of Colorado Hospital with, again, great fear. I decided to e-mail you and when you actually answered, I cried tears of joy. You told me to fill myself with love and release the fear. I did not know how I was going to do that, but I was determined to try. I used your meditation tape to help me.\nI was hospitalized six times for treatment. They feel they have cleared the cancer from my lungs and liver except for one lesion; the lesion in my hip remained unchanged.\nLast summer my husband and I had the kitchen remodeled\u2014something we had been going to do \u2018someday\u2019 for 20 years. I am back to feeding and riding my horses, irrigating the fields, skiing, and riding on the motorcycle with my husband. I am leading a far more joyous life now than I have in years!\nI am living\u2014yes, with Stage 4 cancer, but living, not just surviving. I am living with joy and gratitude for every day, and I thank you so much for the huge part you played in that!\nI hope your New Year is awesome, and I send you love and deep gratitude.\nThe joyous life is what your body will respond to. Loving your life and body creates an internal message telling you to live. Fear does the opposite.\nSo keep on enjoying each day to the fullest. Let your horses be your role models. Animals are the best examples of how to live in the moment.\nI can\u2019t resist\u2014use horse sense when making decisions and let your heart make up your mind. Keep the reins loose and just roam free\u2014you will find the right path.\nThis entry was posted in Animals, Mind / Body Medicine, Q & A with Bernie, Relationships, Stories and tagged Bernie Siegel, caregivers, depression, kidney cancer, meditation, support groups.

        "raw_content": "Full Moon in Gemini! Sunday, December 3, 2017!\nThe Full Moon in Gemini is Sunday morning at 7:46am PST. There is a very powerful Trine part of this lunation between Jupiter and Neptune, and that Trine is at the same degree point (11 degrees) that the Sun and the Moon are holding in Opposition. This acts a bit like a lock, with four tumbler points being clicked by the key of our consciousness in this moment. Conscious awareness (the Sun in Sagittarius), our unconscious mind (the Moon in Gemini), our experience of Abundance (Jupiter in Scorpio) and our connection to Spirit (Neptune in Pisces) are the pieces of the mechanism that this Full Moon unlocks. It is a thing of beauty. Of course, we must navigate all of the challenges of the moment to truly unlock all the potential that this Full Moon has to offer.\nMuch of the emphasis I make on Full Moons is in the release department, but there is one thing about this Full Moon that is very much about harvesting the benefit of the spiritual work we've been doing. Jupiter and Neptune in a Trine is a very powerful interaction between the Great Expander and the Great Spirt. Those monikers alone should tell you what is possible in this moment. Jupiter in Scorpio helps us manifest our heart's desire, and Neptune in Pisces reminds us that everything we could ever want is part of the infinite field of possibility that we are already connected to. This is one of the most feel-good, spiritual, meditative transits that astrology has to offer.\nThe big news, however, is that while the Full Moon in Gemini has been building, Mercury will go retrograde. This is pretty significant, because of Mercury and Saturn's proximity to each other in Sagittarius. Well, that backward journey starts today, making the next 21 days crucial with regard to the lessons we've been learning for the past 2-1/2 years. The fact that Gemini is one of the rulers of Mercury makes his turnaround a major event. The solar system is truly lining up for us to have one of the most powerful passages of Saturn from one sign to another. In Sagittarius, he was busy teaching us about being transparent and focusing on higher truth as our guiding principle. He is about to return to his home sign of Capricorn, and this Full Moon and Mercury retrograde are his way of making sure that no stone is left unturned, no lesson not learned, and no truth not exposed to the light of day, in order to be healed and transformed.\nGemini is the third sign of the zodiac, the first air sign. The twins of this archetype invented the mind. This is where we began thinking, communicating, and most importantly, understanding that we always have a choice. There is an angle in astrology known as the Inconjunct, the 150-degree fork in the road where we have the opportunity to choose differently in order to leave something behind and step into new territory in the future. If it weren't for this mansion, we would have no capacity to consider both sides of any consideration. This Full Moon is a celebration of all the choices we have made along the way that have lead us, inexorably, toward this moment.\nThere is no value in regretting the past, so use this celebration to lift up and honor the path you have taken, and the moment you currently find yourself in. Now, one could be cynical and say that when we do this, we are justifying the past in order to feel better about what we have done. If that is you, go right ahead, but that is not how I choose to live. I choose - and you probably do too, or you would not be reading this - to recognize the incredible synchronicity that makes every moment and every choice absolutely PERFECT, even the ones that seemed like tragedy at the time. The Trine between Jupiter and Neptune I described yesterday that is impeccably locked into this Full Moon, makes this a moment when leaning into the idea of the Divinely-guided, grand unfolding plan, very natural to our intellectual sensibilities.\nJust make sure that the twin you are listening to today is the optimistic one! I'm not entirely certain that this alignment is going to be all that easy for everyone. Jupiter/Neptune Trines aside, there is the fact that the Sun is also in an exact Square to Neptune, as is the Moon. In this way, Neptune is doing double duty; he is Trining Jupiter, the Great Expander, but splitting the Opposition that is the Full Moon into two equal Squares, the geometry of conflict and obstacle. When Neptune brings his best, we are connected to Spirit with ease and grace. When we are challenged by Neptune, his watery and foggy nature can cause us to feel confused, deluded, or fall prey to our escapist urges. These impulses are absolutely built into the current landscape as well.\nDo you see how elegant this is? The Moon is in the archetype that allows us to consider two completely divergent considerations. One twin is basking in the glow of Jupiter and Neptune in harmony. The other one is complaining that the Sun and the Moon are both in loud arguments with Neptune, the Great Spirit. Who are you going to listen to today? To help guide you, the tool of writing will be your absolute best friend, as Gemini invented this form of expression. Get out your journals and if you do nothing else, write as extensive a gratitude list as you can. If you find yourself mired in some challenge, use the pen to work your way through it. Help yourself pave the way for the Saturn shift up ahead to be as powerful for you as possible.\nDr. Michael Lennox",

        "title": "Where Does Romney Really Stand On Affordable Health Care?",
        "raw_content": "Where Does Romney Really Stand On Affordable Health Care?\nIn the beginning of the presidential race, it was clear where both President Obama and Mitt Romney stood on the issue of affordable health care for Americans. Both agreed that reform was necessary but each presented their own plan for accomplishing this.\nPresident Obama presented the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, outlining his plan consisting of mandates including requirements that all Americans must purchase health insurance, employers must provide health insurance, government subsidies would be provided to help families afford insurance, and pre-existing conditions would no longer be a reason to deny health insurance. The basics of the plan were pretty clear.\nRomney was also clear in the beginning that he would, if elected, get rid of Obamacare and replace it with the Republican health care plan which is based on a voucher system with rebates, versus government subsidies. On August 30 during his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, Romney stated \"We must rein in skyrocketing cost of health care by repealing and replacing Obamacare.\" Repeal, i.e. revoke, cancel, annul, abort, seems pretty clear.\nSo, what is Romney saying now? Ten days later, on September 9 on Meet the Press, Romney states \"Well, I'm not getting rid of all of health care reform.\" He goes on to explain that there are parts of health care reform he thinks are good and describes how he is going to work those parts into his plan. For example, on September 9, Romney states that he will \"assure that the marketplace allows for individuals to have policies that cover their family.\" Isn't this the same thing Obamacare is proposing with the required insurance mandate? Not so, says Michael F. Cannon, director of health policy studies at the Cato Institute. \"It's really a price control,\" he continues. For most people, the difference between required and assure are unclear.\nWhat many believe is happening is that Romney is pulling back as a result of the response from most Americans regarding Romney's plan to repeal Obamacare. There are a lot of people concerned about the idea of repealing it. To support this, one needs to look at the polling numbers carefully. While fifty-six percent of Americans are against Obama's healthcare plan, and 44 percent favor it, most people like the provisions of the healthcare reform. Their sticking point is the mandate requiring all Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty.\nA recent Washington Post/ABC poll shows that only 18 percent of those polled really want Obamacare repealed. A recent Gallup poll showed that 31 percent support repealing the law, down from an earlier poll that indicated 41 percent wanted it repealed. And, a recent Kaiser poll showed 38 percent wanted the law repealed. The bottom line is that most Americans do not want Obamacare repealed.\nMany voters are not impressed with Romney's weakened stand on repealing Obamacare. Their concern is the ambiguity he is creating in the minds of American voters as to just where he does stand on healthcare reform. Is he changing his mind because he recognizes some of the law would truly benefit Americans, or is it because it would be unfavorable to voters to repeal the law? Voters are beginning to wonder.",

He did it so perfectly that it was impossible to tell the reproduction from the original.\nOne day while doing his research, he realized that the Angel of Death was searching for him. In order to remain immortal he reproduced a dozen copies of himself. The reproduction was so meticulous that all of them looked exactly like him. Now when this Angel of Death came down, he was at a loss to know which of the thirteen before him was the original scientist, and confused, he left them all alone and returned back to heaven.\nBut, not for long, for being an expert in human nature, the Angel came up with a clever idea. He said to the scientist addressing all thirteen of them, \"Sir, you must be a genius to have succeeded in making such perfect reproduction formula of yourself. However, I have discovered a flaw in your work, just one tiny little flaw.\"\nThe scientist immediately jumped out and shouted, Impossible! where is the flaw?\" \"Right here\" said the Angel, as he picked up the scientist from among the reproductions and carried him off.\nThe whole purpose of the scientist and his formula of reproduction failed as he could not control his pride and lost his life.\nSo while one's Knowledge and Skills takes one to the top of the ladder and makes one successful, however the three letter word \"EGO\" can pull one down immediately.",

        "raw_content": "Lenovo s-10 Netbook Long Term Review\nI have had my Lenovo S10 for almost a year now, so I thought it would be a good idea to update folks on how it's been going. In short, it's been great, in fact, almost unbelievable given the low price.\nMore...I have been using it as a backup, travel laptop and I use it pretty much every day. The light weight and compact dimensions are really the killer feature of Netbooks and in my experience it is well worth the trade off in performance and display/keyboard size. The only modification I have made to my S-10 was to max out the RAM (which was a snap to do BTW, one panel on the bottom of the computer gives you access to everything you need). Performance wise, it has performed perfectly well in run of the mill use like web surfing and apps and office productivity work. I have MS Office and Open Office draw and both suites work just fine, which I had not expected. The small size is perfect for plane use, where the small screen height is a decided advantage. Battery performance has been somewhat meh, and in actual use lasts 2-3 hours. Take this with the following caveat, I run the s-10 on the highest performance energy setting. The battery management software is o.k., but it seems to turn down the processor and display as power runs low (I am sure as designed). The trouble for me is that it keeps it there even after a recharge, it's a small PITA, and you may be able to fix it somewhere, but I can't be bothered with looking. If you are a Project Manager and have a lot of meetings, this is the gadget for you, take it to the meeting and make all the updates on the spot.

        "raw_content": "Ethanol From Trash: Is the Garbage-Fueled Car Finally Here?\nRemember the end of Back to the Future, when Doc Brown drops a banana peel into the Mr. Fusion port to fuel up the DeLorean? Seemed pretty awesome (and pretty implausible). But now, that scene is no longer so far-fetched.\nTwo U.S. based companies, KiOR and INEOS Bio, recently announced that they have produced commercial quantities of ethanol from wood chips and non-food plant matter. And INEOS says it plans to begin making ethanol using garbage from the nearby municipal landfill.\nYep, fuel made from trash \u2026 and right on schedule (if you recall, Doc was returning from 2015)!\nThe fact that it\u2019s made from waste isn\u2019t just cool \u2014 it also could make this fuel a truly viable alternative to gas. This is advanced cellulosic ethanol, not corn ethanol (which has been at the center of a lot of controversy in recent years).\nThe rise and fall of corn ethanol\nIn the big green push of the last decade, ethanol made from corn seemed like our best bet for an alternative fuel. It can be produced domestically, can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and can cut greenhouse-gas emissions by about 20 percent compared with gasoline.\nBut some analysts say the emissions reduction is offset by the pollution associated with corn ethanol production. And those numbers don\u2019t factor in land-use changes (forested land being converted to cropland), which can create their own share of greenhouse emissions. Critics of corn ethanol say it can also raise the price of food.\nAnd while all gasoline-burning cars built after 1980 can run on a 10/90 ratio of ethanol and gasoline, only specially equipped flex-fuel vehicles (FFVs) can use blends with higher percentages of ethanol.\nThese factors, combined with recent droughts, have taken a toll on ethanol producers and tarnished some of the shine on corn ethanol\u2019s promise.\nThe advantages of cellulosic ethanol\nCellulosic ethanol is made from non-food vegetative matter, which can mean switchgrass, wood chips, yard clippings, and yes, household garbage. It doesn\u2019t affect the price or abundance of food and (except for switchgrass) it doesn\u2019t require large-scale cultivation. Plus, the waste used to create the ethanol can also be used to power the factories (INEOS, for example, uses methane from the nearby landfill). The factories often produce more power than they need and can sell the excess to utility companies. Because of these factors, cellulosic ethanol could cut greenhouse gas emissions by 85 to 95 percent compared with gasoline.\nCellulosic ethanol also shows strong potential as a drop-in biofuel (one that can be used in existing cars and trucks without special modifications). KiOR says its fuel is chemically identical to conventional gasoline.\nFrom landfill to windfall\nAmericans generated over 36 million tons of food waste in 2011. That\u2019s a lot of banana peels and coffee grounds. Wouldn\u2019t it be great to use some of that to power our cars and help protect the earth in the process? My apartment building doesn\u2019t allow for composting, and I feel kind of guilty tossing my wilted veggies in the trash. I\u2019d feel much better if I knew they would have an afterlife.\nWe aren\u2019t quite Back to the Future\nAs exciting as these breakthroughs are, the oil companies shouldn\u2019t get nervous just yet. Cellulosic ethanol would need to be made in very large quantities in order to be competitive with gasoline \u2014 and that\u2019s still a ways off. Not everyone is a fan of biofuels, either. In fact, some experts feel that plug-in vehicles using solar- or wind-generated electricity are the better solution.\nIs cellulosic ethanol the fuel of the future or just one more flash in the pan? Would you fill up your car with fuel made from trash? Sound off below.\nRead about some other alternative fuels from sci-fi.\nFeeling eco-friendly?

        "title": "The Sustainable Development Goals: Why the Nexus approach is vital to the post 2015 Millennium Development Goals",
        "raw_content": "The Sustainable Development Goals: Why the Nexus approach is vital to the post 2015 Millennium Development Goals\nRepublished from Global Research Institute blog University of North Carolina\nThe Earth Summit in 1992 was possibly the most successful UN Conference at creating a coherent narrative on what political leaders should address.\nThe conference was one of the results from the 1987 UN Commission on Environment and Development, which attempted determine the best strategies for a blueprint to move us towards a more sustainable way of living up to and into the 21st century. The Commission\u2019s Report was the first major document to define sustainable development:\nIt contains two key concepts:\nThe concept of \u201cneeds,\u201d in particular the essential needs of the world\u2019s poor, to which overriding priority should be given;\nThe idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment\u2019s ability to meet present and future needs.\u201d\nThe Earth Summit outcomes were:\nAgenda 21 (40 chapter blueprint)\nThe UN Framework Convention to Combat Climate Change\nThe UN Convention on Biological Diversity\nThe Forest Principles\nHowever, instead of implementing the agreements, the world embarked on a huge \u201cglobalization party\u201d enabling financial and investment markets to operate internationally, as deregulation increased. The result of the \u201cparty\u201d was that the investment in our future was not undertaken and the next generation will, and is, picking up the hangover. Instead of China and India taking a \u2018more sustainable\u2019 path to development, they followed the other industrialized models and China is now the single largest omitter of CO2 in the world, producing nearly 50% more than the USA.\nThe 1990s saw a number of UN Conferences and Summits that took individual chapters of Agenda 21 and expanded them. These included summits on Population (1994), Women (1995), Social Development (1995), Human Settlement (1996) and Food (1997). By 2000, governments were having problems prioritizing goals and decided to create a focused agenda which became the Millennium Development Goals. Developed by the UN Secretary General, World Bank and OECD and created out of the OECD Development Assistant Committee targets, eight goals became the world\u2019s key development goals for the next fifteen years.\nThese goals were to play a critical role in focusing Official Development Aid (ODA) over the next decade.\nThere had been hope that the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development(WSSD) would refocus and re-energize the sustainable development agenda, but the attacks on 9/11 severely changed global priorities and the WSSD became a shadow of what was needed with perhaps the only major outcome being an addition of a sanitation target to the MDGs.\nThe 2000\u2019s saw a number of terms enter the news media with more regularity, terms such as food security, energy security and water security and in the aftermath of the financial crisis the interlinkages between these became more apparent.\nIn 2011 in preparation for Rio+20, the German Government hosted the first Nexus Conference focusing on Water-Energy-Food. Over the previous twenty years governments had experienced problems dealing with the interlinkages between sectors, but now they were being forced to address them with more urgency as they increasingly realized this was not something they could put off to future generations but was instead going to actually impact on the generation in power now.\nA paper produced by the Stockholm Environment Institute for the first Nexus conference estimated the effect of the increased economic activity of the new emerging economies such as India, China, Indonesia, Brazil, the increased population and the increased urbanization of the world on the amount of food, energy and water needed.\nThe paper predicted a shortfall in food of 30-50%, a need for an extra 40% of energy and a shortfall of water availability of up to 40% \u2013 all which will contribute to increased C02 and a higher risk of severe climate change.\nIn 2012 the World Bank produced a report that said: \u201c97 percent of scientists agree on the reality of climate change. The last 10,000 years temperature has changed by no more than + or \u2013 1 degree C.\u201d\nThe latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report adds to the literature that should persuade politicians to take action now.\nIn 2012, twenty years after the 1992 Earth Summit, governments again met in Rio and agreed this time to develop new goals to replace the Millennium Development Goals. They decided these should be Sustainable Development Goals, and that a new body to oversee these should be created which would be the \u201dHigh Level Political Forum.\u201d To prepare for this outcome, two intergovernmental processes should be set up:\nSustainable Development Goals Open Working Group;\nIntergovernmental Committee of Experts on Financing Sustainable Development (how we finance the goals).\nRio+20 said these new goals should be universal and put both poverty eradication and sustainable development at their heart. These new goals will be agreed in 2015 at a Heads of State meeting, but as of December 2013 it looks like we will have:\nFood and Nutrition YES\nJobs YES\nEducation YES\nHealth YES\nEmployment (YES)\nPoverty (YES)\nGender YES and Governance YES \u2013 or cross cutting or both?\nOceans, Urban, Forests, Peace and Security, Disaster Relief, Climate, Biodiversity MAYBE\nThe critical question is will the goals also be approached from a Nexus perspective, ensuring water targets in energy and food and vice-versa?\nThe 2014 Nexus Conference (3-7 March) will be held in Chapel Hill and is supported by: UN Department for Social And Economic Affairs, UNDP, World Bank, IRENA, UNITAR, Global Compact, UN Habitat, WBCSD, WWF International, Millennium Institute, Stockholm Environment Institute, WSPA and many others.\nIt has an impressive list of speakers, workshops and Nexus Dating (you will have to come to see this). This will be an annual event which endeavors to become the place where the community trying to address the interlinkages has a chance to meet, to work and to produce the work to help us onto a more sustainable path.\nThere are two Albert Einstein quotes I love:\nOf course if we can\u2019t do this then the second may prove to be more accurate.",

He eats fire, transfers fire from one place to another using his head and hands, and breathes fire - I didn't think that he could do such a long show doing basically only those three things, but he did. Of course he had some help from the audience. At one point, he asked some audience members to feed him the fire. That would have been a hard trick. The part Ian liked the best was when he was building up to breathing fire, he asked if anyone was from Alberta. Ian made my hand go up higher, and the guy singled me out for a \"breathing fire is dumb because it's dumb\" speech in a redneck voice :) The strangest thing about this performance was the social message. He says that he's doing this to get his message - which basically boils down to \"don't trust mass media - find your own truth and justice\" and \"love yourself because the world's problems can be solved if everyone loves themselves enough to love their neighbour\" - out to people. Those are good messages, but it was a little weird hearing them at a busker festival.\nWe skipped the Dan Show, mainly because he was going to do contortions and I don't like those (I don't like it when they dislocate their shoulders). We also skipped Svetlana Transylvania because she didn't seem that funny.\nWe caught the end of the Arizona Jones show. He had a whip, which is always compelling :) He did a thing where he went up a 4.3 metre pole, lit a whip on fire, and cracked it to put it out. The funniest part was that the audience member that he'd recruited to throw the torch up to him couldn't actually throw. Her misses (and his responses and contortions to try to catch the torch) had us in stitches :)\nWe'll try to go back Saturday night after paddling. Tomorrow we're going to Simcoe so that we don't have to drive too far on Saturday, so we'll miss the acts tomorrow.",

        "raw_content": "My interest in languages, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and the history of ancient and medieval times leads me down one general path in the arts degrees. The easiest universal degree would be history, linquistics, anthropology, or a combination of one of those with another being a minor or a specialization.\nYes, I realize that it is probably a touch odd for a techie to be so interested in subjects that are ages old. Likely it is even more odd that I would be perfectly content to train to be a college Professor on those subjects and would relish being a curator in a art museum or library catering to that time period. Regardless, I was doing a bit of research yesterday, mostly out of curiousity to see what the requirements are in those degrees for very upper level U.S. universities.\nEssentially, my \u2018plan\u2019 has always been to go back to college locally and finish a BA degree in one of these subjects, then try to get into a much more prestigious university and get my MA. In an ideal world, and assuming I didn\u2019t kill my GPA standing along the way, I\u2019d like to end up getting a PhD from a top 5 school in the U.S. The reason for that is two fold. First, I want the access to the best teachers in those subjects. Second, by getting a graduate degree from a top school, I can pretty much be guaranteed the ability to be able to teach at my choice of colleges across the country (and perhaps even outside of it). I definitely see that as possible because before I had to take a break from my courses (and dropped several during pregnancies with my children), I was being heavily recruited by those universities. So, mentally, I have the ability\u2026 somewhere floating around in my head\u2026 it\u2019s a question of whether or not having two children has muddled my brain to the point where I can no longer use it as much \ud83d\ude09 Alas, I digress.\nI decided that if I wanted to look up the requirements for graduate degrees (Masters and PhD level) in upper level Universities, I might as well start at the very top of the U.S. ladder and look at Harvards requirements. I came across a bit of surprising information when looking up history MA degrees on the Harvard website \u2013 language requirements by history specialty. From that page is this quote:\nIncoming first-year graduate students are required to show a satisfactory reading knowledge, met by a performance judged proficient or satisfactory on a departmental language examination, of at least two foreign languages.\nOkay, it says \u201cat least two\u201d foreign languages. Allright, well that\u2019s the general statement for all the history specialties but on that page it displays a chart showing the required languages by topic. Here are the ones pertinent to my interests:\nField Language Requirements\nAncient French, German, Ancient Greek, and Latin\nByzantine French, German, Byzantine Greek, and Latin\nMedieval French, German, and Latin\nI was quite shocked to see that. Truly, I was. Of course, I immediately realized a new reason to justify my interest in learning German \u2013 in fact, I easily joked about it being \u2018fate\u2019 or some sort of \u20186th sense\u2019 that lead me to want to learn it. Unsurprisingly, I found similar requirements of Greek, Latin and German (though Harvard did have the most with their additional requirement of French) on the websites of several other high up Universities in the U.S. By the way, I did find one very interesting history degree plan at Notre Dame \u2013 a Masters of Medieval Studies (and subsequent PhD) from their Medieval Institute. Fascinating.\nI\u2019m actually quite pleased to see such rigorous requirements for History \u2013 the kind of requirements I\u2019d have expected of a linguistics degree (of course, linguistics and history go hand-in-hand at so many levels it makes sense). When I saw the list, I did let out a sigh of relief that I formally studied Latin for several years (my language of choice in high school). Granted, I am a bit rusty, but at least I have learned that one to fluency. I have a rudimentary understanding of Ancient Greek, Hebrew, and Sanskrit that I have needed for translation purposes over the years\u2026 but no where near a fluency level needed in any of them \u2013 so gaining fluency in Ancient Greek has to go on my list of things to work on.\nNow on the German and French\u2026 I\u2019m perfectly content to learn those. I\u2019ve been trying to learn German for some time. When I am able to go back and get that BA in history or linguistics locally, I do plan to do it at the only college here that has a decent amount of German courses. The French\u2026 well, French has always been one of those languages that I seem to remember with ease. I\u2019ve not formally studied it, but it is the only of the Romance languages that I have that ability with. I don\u2019t know why that is, particularly since I live in a city with an overwhelming amount of native Spanish speakers \u2026 but I\u2019ve always been able to remember French better than Spanish. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I think Spanish sounds very unpleasant to the ear (I have a similar view of Italian), but that French has a more pleasing sing-songy rhythm to it (as does Latin). As they say, What you enjoy, you remember.\nRegardless, while there wasn\u2019t a particular point to this post, I think that you might be able to assume that what I was getting at is It never hurts to check into requirements many many years ahead of time. I would hate to think of how frustrating it would be to have an interest in studying History, and find out shortly before applying that you needed to pass comprehension tests in four languages. It never hurts to plan ahead.\nPosted in Languages\nPrev Summer Solstice \u2013 2006\nNext Fluidity and Text Sizing\nOne Reply to \u201cLanguage Requirements \u2013 Upper Level Universities\u201d\n[\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6] A very accosting layout and a interesting discussion topic, do you provide any Web-based services to universities or students.

        "raw_content": "The holy city of Amritsar was beckoning me for quite some time. I am not a religious person. In fact the only time I remember \u201cThe Almighty\u201d is when I am feeling low about things in life. However, there is something about the sights and sounds of Amritsar which tugs at your inner spirituality. I wanted to visit Harmandir Sahib popularly known as the \u201cGolden Temple\u201d in Amritsar. I also needed to get away for a two day break from my routine activities. With this in mind, I decided to plan my two day itinerary for Amritsar.\nJallianwala Bagh \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nThe last time I visited Amritsar was in the year 2006. At that time I had stayed in one of the accommodations managed by the authorities of Golden Temple. The market area surrounding the temple premises was chaotic, dirty and noisy. The condition of the roads was bad and overall I could not handle the chaos of the city. I was relieved once the trip got over and I was away from Amritsar.\nQila Ahluwalia \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nMuch has changed in the city since then. The Punjab Government at some point must have woken up and realized that they really needed to do something for the \u201cHoly City\u201d. Amritsar on its own was fetching scores of tourists and pilgrims despite having inadequate facilities to cater to them. The Government opened its coffers and gave a facelift to the entire market area over a two km radius surrounding the Golden Temple. They widened the roads in other areas of the city, started regulating the flow of traffic and also spent huge money to restore other heritage sites in Amritsar. When I visited Amritsar this year in 2018 I could see the visible effects of the transformation the city had undergone.\nHeritage Street \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar near Golden Temple\n2018\u2026\u2026it took a long time coming but I finally visited Amritsar again after twelve years. Over the last couple of years I had come across various travel blogs and videos on Amritsar. What I read and saw astonished me to no end as this was not the Amritsar that I had experienced. However, curiosity got the better of me when I finally decided to once again visit Amritsar. After researching various trip reports and travel forums (especially tripadvisor.com) I made a relaxed itinerary covering two days. Following are the details of the itinerary:\nTake the early morning bus from Chandigarh (my hometown) and reach Amritsar by 11:30 am. Check in to the hotel by 12 pm. Relax, get ready and leave hotel by 01:30 pm.\nProceed for lunch to Kesar Dhabha. Have lunch at Kesar Dhabha and then proceed to Partition Museum and Jallianwala Bagh for sightseeing.\nBy late afternoon explore market area surrounding Golden Temple. Early evening proceed to Golden Temple and spend the rest of the evening there. Have langar at Golden Temple for dinner.\nThe Historic Town Hall \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar near Golden Temple\nEarly morning start to the day. Do the \u201cCity on Pedals\u201d bicycle tour from 07:30 am to 11:00 am. Return to the hotel to freshen up and relax for a couple of hours.\nIn the afternoon, proceed to Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum. Then visit Lal Mata temple.\nIn the evening proceed to Gobindgarh Fort. Spend a couple of hours over there and then proceed to Makhan Chicken Corner for Dinner.\nDay 3: Take the bus returning to Chandigarh.\nStatue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nWith the itinerary mapped out, I went ahead and booked Volvo bus tickets online from Chandigarh to Amritsar. Since I was travelling alone, I wanted to enjoy this holiday on a budget. So I booked a room in a budget hotel at Rs. 900/- per night in Hotel HK Continental through oyorooms.com.\nWell the day finally arrived and out of excitement I woke up an hour earlier than the alarm was set. I caught the early morning Volvo at 06:50 am. The bus journey was a breeze and by 11:15 am I reached Amritsar. I walked down to the hotel as it is hardly a km away from the bus stand. I was quite satisfied with the room offered at the hotel as it was a decent sized room (140 sq. ft.), neat and clean along with an LED television and AC. What more can one expect at Rs. 900/- a night? After settling in, I booked a motorcycle cab through \u201cUBER Moto\u201d to Kesar Dhabha.\nHK Continental \u2013 Hotel in Amritsar\nKesar Dhabha:\nLots has been said and written about this place which is located in the narrow by-lanes of Amritsar. I too wanted to try this place. The only way to reach here is through a cycle rickshaw, auto or a motorcycle taxi (Ubar/ OLA). No cars can enter these narrow lanes. The place although clean is non-descript and without any frills.\nKesar Dhabha \u2013 Restaurants to eat and Places to Visit in Amritsar\nI ordered a \u201cParatha Thali\u201d for myself. The food when it arrived was literally swimming in \u201cDesi Ghee\u201d. It consisted of two parathas, one black lentil fry (dal fry), chickpeas (safed chana), raita (curd with small pakoda) and salad. The food was so rich in butter that my hunger died by just looking it. It turned out to be quite a task to finish the meal. I ordered Thums Up Cola to digest the heavy food.\nBeing a Sikh-Punjabi, I am used to Punjabi food. This meal was nothing special. It was like any other Punjabi dish although very rich in Ghee. The food tastes okay though and if you want to try Punjabi dishes then this place is worth a shot.\n(Click on the image above to view more pics of Kesar Dhabha)\nPartition Museum:\nPartition Museum \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nHaving eaten a heavy lunch, I decided to walk down to Partition museum as it was hardly a km away from Kesar Dhabha. The Partition Museum is located inside the Town hall building. The entry ticket to the museum costs Rs. 10/- for a domestic tourist but much more (Rs. 250/-) for a foreign tourist. I initially thought that this will be a small museum and I will cover the entire place in 15-20 minutes. How wrong was I? The museum although not very big, stores a wealth of information and it took me more than 90 minutes to explore it. I could have easily spent another hour over there. What I saw and observed shook me to my core. I finally came to realize the evil that this partition of India and Pakistan wrecked on our lives and our social fabric.\nIndia was hard done by partition there is no doubt about it. There are various exhibits in the museum which include photographs, newspaper cuttings, old audio clips (i.e. radio announcements during 1945-1948), video clips featuring television interviews and other artifacts to portray a complete and comprehensive picture of that dark period. Going through all the information, I realized that there are no simple answers on why partition happened. Most of us Indians blame Nehru and Jinnah for the partition of our country. We have a tendency to blame politicians for everything including partition. However circumstances on ground are far different from our perception of reality. What cannot be forgiven though is the way the present government of that time absolutely washed its hands off the communal carnage that followed. It is estimated that more than one million people died in these communal riots. People lost everything, their land, money and lives of close family members. They had to start building their life from scratch with negligible Government support. It was a painful period for people at both sdes of the border. Hence i urge my readers to avoid indulging in loose talk whenever we are discussing a sensitive subject such as partition.\nWe are not allowed to take photographs within the museum. A pity since this information must be shared and showcased to the rest of the world. I also don\u2019t like the fact that they are overcharging a foreign tourist so much. For all Indians, this attraction is a must visit in Amritsar. Go and see for yourself the pain of partition that has been so wonderfully depicted in this museum.\nJallianwala Bagh:\nMy next stop was Jallianwala Bagh. It is hardly a five minute walk from the Partition Museum. The Jallianwala bagh is a 6 acre public garden which has five gates and is walled from all sides. This garden is infamous for the massacre that took place on 13th April 1919.\nJallianwala Bagh \u2013 Historical Places to Visit in Amritsar\nOn that fateful day, a crowd consisting of mostly civilians including women and children had gathered here despite the imposition of a martial law. These people were here holding a peaceful protest to condemn the arrest and deportation of two national leaders. Within no time the troops of the British Indian Army surrounded the garden, blocked all entries and opened fire on the hapless civilians. The firing continued for ten minutes. It is stated that around 1000 people died and 1500 were left wounded. This brutality shocked and galvanized the entire nation in such a manner that it became a decisive step towards the end of British rule in India.\nI knew about the history of Jallianwala Bagh. When I entered the site and started exploring the things I was overcome with emotion. The place is clean, well maintained with washroom facilities and drinking water for the visitors. Throughout the garden there are seats in shaded corners available for people who want to rest. There are different spots marked clearly with notes on the history behind the spots. You will also view the bullet impressions on the wall marked clearly with white squares. There is a small museum within the garden which has newspaper clippings, photographs and articles related to this event. This place is definitely worth a visit if you are in Amritsar.\n(Click on the images above to view more pics of Jallianwala Bagh)\nInterpretation Center:\nHaving covered the Partition Museum and Jallianwala Bagh, I was now keen to spend the rest of my afternoon and evening at the Golden Temple Complex. So I arrived at the plaza where I spotted a small board outside. It displayed a notice about four high tech multi-media shows on Sikh faith and religion starting at 4 pm. I got curious and since it was the last show of the day I decided to check it out.\nInterpretation Center \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar near Golden Temple\nThis center is built in the basement of the plaza and is fully air-conditioned. It was a relief to be here after walking for such a long period in the hot sun. The idea of this interpretation center is to brief visitors about Sikh religion and their philosophies. The first gallery gave a narration of the birth of Sikhism and its journey from the First Guru to the Ninth Guru. The second gallery showcases the historical events surrounding Harmandir Sahib. The third gallery gives you a glimpse of the activities within Harmandir Sahib. This gallery also features a 3d model of Harmandir Sahib. The fourth gallery provides holographic and video projections narrating the wisdom of Sikhism. You can also view the detailed architecture of the interiors of Harmandir Sahib.\nThe four shows were completed in about an hour\u2019s time. I enjoyed my time here as the shows were entertaining, the venue was fully air-conditioned and I got a chance to rest here for some time. Moreover these shows are completely free of cost and I wonder why they don\u2019t charge for it? My only gripe with this place is that the entire narration is in Punjabi without any English subtitle. So a non-Punjabi speaking tourist may not get any value from these shows. However this place is definitely worth a visit especially if you want to escape the heat of Amritsar.\nGolden Temple aka Harmandir Sahib:\nShri Harmandir Sahib \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nSri Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Darbar Sahib or Golden Temple is one of the most revered place of worship for Sikhs all over the world. This temple is intended to be a place of worship not only for the Sikhs but for people from all religions all over the world. The four entrances to the Golden Temple symbolize the acceptance of the Sikhs towards all people and their religion. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people visit this temple on a daily basis. The free community kitchen adjoining a huge dining hall proved 24/7 meals (langar) to lakhs of devotees all the year around. Vegetarian food is served here and people eat their meals as equals irrespective of their faith, gender or economic background.\nDarbar Sahib \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nThe main temple is built on a 67 ft. platform in the centre of water tank (also known as the Sarovar). It is connected by a bridge which is 202 ft long and 21 ft wide. You will see long queues of patient pilgrims on the bridge waiting to pay their respects at the temple. After arriving at the temple complex, I joined the queue. It took me an hour\u2019s time before I could finally reached temple platform. I saw the temple premises from inside, went on the upper two floors and then departed in half an hour. A quick note to the readers; be prepared to stand in line for 1-1.5 hours whenever you are visiting the temple.\nGolden Temple \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nHaving paid my respects at the temple, I took a leisurely stroll around the temple complex observing the wonderful architecture. I must say that this temple is incredibly well maintained. The atmosphere of this temple is very spiritual and affects even unreligious people like me. The soothing chants of the \u201cGurbani\u201d and the devotion of the visitors add to the spiritual atmosphere of the temple. I finally sat down at the banks of the Sarovar and continued to stare at temple watching the changing hues and colors as the evening progressed into night. The view of the Golden Dome in the evening and night is a marvelous sight to behold enhanced by the shimmering waters of the Sarovar.\n(Click on the images above to view more pics of The Golden Temple)\nGolden Temple Heritage Street:\nHeritage Street and market \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nAs mentioned earlier in my blog, I wasn\u2019t impressed with Amritsar when I had visited it years ago. To get to the Golden Temple was quite a task. You would be confronted with drain clogged streets, hawkers, pedestrians, auto and rickshaw pullers, all jostling with each other for space. Add to that the 45\u00b0C heat outside; your vacation would get over even before it started. Thankfully, the Punjab government realized that the Holy city was getting a bad name. Astonishingly, they renovated the entire market stretch around the Golden Temple Complex within one year. It is estimated that they spend around Rs. 1000/- crores in refurbishing the street and the markets.\nI spent a lot of time walking this stretch. The weather was a little hot in the afternoon and quite pleasant at night. I saw bright new lampposts, water fountains and statues against the backdrop of buildings inspired by Mughal and Rajput architecture. All the buildings sported a pink fa\u00e7ade with identical sign boards. A proud statue of Maharaja Ranjit Singh stands tall at Phowara Chowk. At the Saraghari Chowk, you will see the statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and a mini replica of the parliament. The pathways are lined with various plants and shrubs to give it a green look. In fact, this entire shopping stretch looks reminiscent of some street of an Italian city such as Rome or Florence.\n(Click on the images above to view more pics of Golden Temple Heritage Street and Market)\nI was feeling quite happy when I finally retired to my hotel. Amritsar was so much better than what I had expected. Looking forward to the next day\u2019s adventure, I welcomed some much needed sleep.\nI woke up early morning at 06:00 am and changed quickly. I was participating in a bicycle tour of some heritage sites within the by-lanes of Amritsar. Feeling nervous and excited, I changed into my tracks quickly and called an Uber Moto.\nCity on Pedals (Bicycle Tour):\nCity on Pedals Bicycle Tour \u2013 Thngs to Do and Places to Visit in Amritsar\nThe City on Pedals bicycle tour is a great way to explore some forgotten and neglected heritage sites in Amritsar. It gives you an authentic feel and flavor of what the \u201cHoly City\u201d is all about in terms of culture, food, people and so on. The tour starts at 07:30 am and concludes at 11:00 am. During this period, you cover a stretch of 9 km negotiating the main roads and the narrow by-lanes of Amritsar. Along the way, you will view historical monuments, taste local Punjabi food and get to see local markets popular for their crafts and wares.\nCity on Pedals Bicycle Tour \u2013 Thngs to Do and Places to Visit iin Amritsar\nI reached the designated pick up point by 07:20 am. Since I had not ridden a bicycle for over 20 years, I was really nervous. I met Rishab the owner of this venture. He along with two team members was accompanying me for this tour. Very soon I was saddled with a helmet and safety jacket. With the greatest trepidation I tried my foot at the pedal and immediately my bike was going all over the place. Rishab was patient with me in explaining the controls and soon I found myself pedaling the bike without much difficulty. After riding for some time on the road my confidence got better and I was able to negotiate the bumps and turns that came along the way. Our first stop was the Company Bagh; a sprawling garden which is home to the much neglected summer palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Our next stop was the Khair-Ud-Din Mosque which was built in 1876. Despite being such an old mosque and heritage site, it looked a little neglected. We then proceeded to see other sites such as Qila Ahluwalia, Gurudwara Darshan Deori, Gurudwara Saragarhi Sahib and the famous centuries old Banyan Tree known as Baba Bohar.\nAlong the way, we stopped at various points to enjoy the Amritsar delicacies. I had the \u201cMasala Chai\u201d from the famous Giani Tea Stall. I also ate Puri Chana, Gur ka Halwa and Amritsari Kulcha during the course of the trip. The City on Pedals team seems to have done their homework well in the food department too. The meals were tasty and combined with the 9 km city tour this turned out to be a little tiring but thoroughly exhilarating experience. Hats off to these guys, they\u2019ve come up with a unique and enjoyable way to explore Amritsar. Rishab and his boys go out of their way in making this tour an enriching experience for you. This attraction should be on top of every tourist\u2019s list whenever they are visiting Amritsar.\nClick on the images above to view more pics of the City on Pedals Bicycle Tour, Amritsar)\nAfter the tour I returned to my hotel to rest for a couple of hours. I was looking forward to visiting my next stop, the Mata Lal Devi mandir.\nMata Lal Devi Temple:\nMata Lal Devi mandir \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nI can sum up my visit to this temple in one word\u2026..WOW!!! At a first glance, this temple looks like a normal place of worship built in somebody\u2019s house. There are various statues of Indian Gods and Goddesses on the ground floor. You can view it in two minutes. However, don\u2019t be deceived by the appearance. The real journey begins when you take the stairs to the first floor. What follows is a labyrinth of stairs and corridors in a maze like structure which also involves crawling in low ceilinged caves. Along the way, you will see statues, murals, mirror paintings and color stained glass images of virtually all the Indian Gods and Goddesses in existence. You cannot turn back and only move forward. I took one hour to complete the whole journey as I was busy clicking photographs. This place is a delightful visit for tourists. They should come and see for themselves the brilliant outcome of Mata Lal Devi\u2019s resolve (who by the way is also worshipped as a deity here).\n(Click on the image above to view more pics of Mata Lal Devi Mandir, Amritsar)\nMaharaja Ranjit Singh Museum:\nMaharaja Ranjit Singh Museum \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nMy next stop was Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum. The cost of the entry ticket is Rs. 10/-. It\u2019s a small museum which gives a brief history of the greatest Sikh ruler of Punjab. It is surrounded by a well maintained garden which has the statues of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. On the ground floor you will view old paintings and life-size statues depicting some important events in Maharaja Ranjit Singh\u2019s life. There is a room in which arms, armor, coins and manuscripts of that era are stored. On the first floor, you will get to see life-size 3D statues in a circular room depicting different wars that the Maharaja fought. The effect is that of an all-round panorama. At the background you will hear war-cries and sound of horses\u2019 hooves as a part of sound effects. This museum is nice and worth visiting if you are not falling short of time in Amritsar.\n(Click on the image above to view more pics of Maharaja Ranjit Singh Museum, Amritsar)\nGobindgarh Fort:\nFort Gobindgarh \u2013 Places to Visit in Amritsar\nThis was my last stop in Amritsar. I reached here at 05:30 pm in the evening. This place is well known for its two shows; one is \u201cLion of Punjab\u201d a 7D show of 15 minutes that goes on throughout the day and the other one is \u201cWhispering Walls\u201d a multimedia laser light and sound show which is viewed on the open ground at dark after 07:30 pm. I bought a ticket for Rs. 290 which allowed me to view both the shows. I spent close to three hours in this place. There are two museums inside which have replicas of the weaponry of Maharaja Ranjit Singh\u2019s time. Nothing great to see here but it is okay to pass your time. However I was here in the fort for the other attractions. The 7D show was an awesome hair raising experience. The live folk dance and Punjabi Martial Arts were quite entertaining. The light and sound multimedia open ground laser show was spectacular to the say the least. The colonial bungalow sitting in the middle of the garden literally came alive and started talking to us. We were strictly forbidden to take photos or videos. You have to see it to believe it. This attraction should not be missed by any tourist. It is best to visit the fort in the evening when you can view both the shows.\n(Click on the image above to view more pics of Fort Gobindgarh, Amritsar)\nMakhan Chicken:\nI had heard a lot about this place so I decided to dine here after completing my trip at Gobindgarh Fort. Took an \u201cUber Moto\u201d to this place. I was under the impression that \u201cMakhan Chicken Corner\u201d will be some non-descript dhabha serving non-veg food. Turns out that this place is an upscale air-conditioned bar and restaurant. I was pleased with the ambience. Feeling tired and hungry, I immediately ordered a beer, half tandoori chicken and fish-fry as per the server\u2019s recommendation. Tandoori Chicken was okay, nothing special about it. The Fish Fry is really good. It has its own distinct flavor and complements the beer really well. I will recommend this restaurant to tourists who want to enjoy drinks in a decent atmosphere with non-veg food.\nThis was the last day of my visit to Amritsar. Returned to the hotel to get some much needed sleep and caught my pre-booked Volvo to Chandigarh the next day.\nOther Places to Visit in Amritsar:\nDurgiana Temple: Places to Visit in Amritsar\nWhile planning my trip to Amritsar, there were a couple of places to visit in Amritsar that I missed due to oversight and lack of planning. One such place is Durgiana Mandir. This is a Hindu Temple modeled on the same lines of \u201cHarmandir Sahib\u201d. The 700 year old temple sits in the middle of a water body connected by a bridge. Inside the temple there are shrines of Hindu Gods and Goddesses.\nSadda Pind: Places to Visit in Amritsar\nImage Credit: saddapind.co.in\nThe other place that I missed in Amritsar is \u201cSadda Pind\u201d. It\u2019s a resort which is themed as a Punjabi village. It showcases the day to day lives and activities in a Punjabi village. This place is like a living museum spread over 12 acres of land. There are a lot of shows and activities to keep adults and kids busy throughout the day. It is similar to Chokhi Dhani in Jaipur which showcases Rajasthani culture. The lunch and dinner is included in the ticket price for the day package.\nRetreating Ceremony at Wagah Border:\nWagah Border: Amritsar Tourism\nLot of tourists especially Indians like to visit Wagah Border close to Amritsar. As I have already been here, I would like to share my experience. I\u2019ve mentioned earlier in my article that I had visited Amritsar in the year 2006. At that time I was traveling to Amritsar with my dad and driver in our own car. My dad wanted to visit Wagah Border and I had no clue what it was all about. We reached the place and found hundreds of people queued up at the gates. Foreigners are lucky, their queues are shorter and they have a separate entry point. When the gates opened we had to walk for one km amid security checks at various intervals before we reached our seats. The layout of the seats is a little absurd; they look more like stepping platforms and they are lined in such a way that you can hardly see the view on the other side of the border. You will find people rushing and jostling with each other in order to grab the best seats for the view, but here is a fact check \u2026.there is hardly any view. All I could see was the happenings at the Indian side of the border and I had to strain my neck to the left over other peoples\u2019 heads to actually catch a glimpse of the happenings at the Pakistani side.\nWagah Border: Amritsar Tourism Image Credit: pinterest.com\nNow let us come to the ceremony. It involves lowering of the national flags by both India and Pakistan every evening before sunset. It involves a lot of pomp and show and theatrics are added to stir the patriotic fervor in people. First they will start playing loud patriotic Hindi songs and the crowd starts dancing and cheering loudly at the songs. Then you will view some people running towards the border gate with Indian flag in hand. After some time the flag march starts in which the BSF soldiers take several laps to the border gate and back. The body language is over exaggerated, passive aggressive and the legs are thrust upward in such a manner that it almost parallel to the chin. You will view the same behavior of Pakistani rangers if you manage to see the other side of the border. During all this time, a BSF guard was constantly egging us to shout patriotic slogans. He kept on telling us to shout louder, more and more, so much more that we drown out the shouts of the Pakistan residents. I saw the crowd getting whipped up in a shouting frenzy supposedly in their patriotic zeal to outdo the Pakistanis.\nWagah Border: Amritsar Tourism Image Credit: flickr.com\nTo be honest, I was not impressed with what I saw. It is exactly the kind of jingoism that can be avoided. Unbelievably, the choreographed attempt in a highly charged atmosphere happens daily. With due respect to everybody\u2019s emotions, this chest thumping xenophobia to show Pakistan there place is not really patriotism. You can love your country without deriding the citizens of the other country. I would be much happier if the flag lowering ceremony becomes a quiet affair without any tourists. The aggressive attitude displayed by visitors on both sides of the border does nothing to ease the ages old conflict between both countries.\nThere are far more ways to spend your quality time and much better places to visit in Amritsar. This is not one of them. Avoid.\nTransportation in Amritsar:\nAmritsar has a good access to public transport. It is fairly easy to get a taxi, auto or a cycle rickshaw at any hour of the day. Since it\u2019s a tourist city, the charges can be high and you would need to negotiate every time when you hire an auto or a rickshaw. However, for a single tourist the best way to commute in Amritsar is through Uber Moto or Ola Moto. These are motorcycle cabs in which you are riding pillion behind the rider. Not only are the effective in negotiating the narrow and overcrowded by-lanes of Amritsar but they are safe and quick as well. The best part is that you don\u2019t need to haggle for price and its very cheap; Rs. 15/- upto 3 km and Rs. 25/- utpo 5 km. I covered all the tourist spots in the city over two days and paid a princely sum of Rs. 150/- for all the trips. If you are travelling with family then you can consider UBER/OLA cabs but they will not be able to enter the narrow lanes of Amritsar.\nAmritsar has definitely grown as a tourist destination by leaps and bounds. It gives a good insight of Punjabi culture and traditions. The Golden Temple and the Partition museum alone are the reasons why one should visit the holy city. Take a chance and explore this place. You will not be disappointed.\nI hope you enjoyed reading this article.

Study: High-Minority High Schools Offer Little Computer Science \u00bb\nGroup Seeks to Accelerate STEM to STEAM Push\nBy Jessica Brown on May 8, 2015 7:10 AM\nClips from the children's television show Sesame Street flashed onto a video screen behind the panelists.\nIn one, a tutu-clad Snuffleupagus figured out how to leap like a ballerina by using a pulley system. In another, the resident artist, Baby Bear, made a sculpture out of porridge, using math to get the consistency right. In the third clip, when a band's lead singer arrived for a concert\u2014but his equipment and bandmates didn't\u2014the fans saved the show by using engineering concepts to build a stage, microphone, and guitar.\nIf only all classrooms were more like Sesame Street.\nFiguring out how to accomplish that\u2014how to seamlessly integrate the concepts of science, technology, engineering, and math (collectively termed STEM) with art (to create STEAM) in an engaging way\u2014was the goal of a Keynote Assembly Thursday hosted by VH1 Save the Music Foundation. The event took place in New York City and featured a panel of celebrities, experts, and business leaders. It was aimed at re-energizing the \"STEM to STEAM\" conversation.\nThe idea of integrating art with scientific studies has been around for decades\u2014centuries even, said panelist Kim Richards, co-founder and director of STEAMConnect. During the last century, however, an urgency emerged around STEM subjects (though it wasn't actually termed that until around 2005). The focus on STEM gained traction when NASA was formed and again when the \"A Nation At Risk\" report came out in the 1980s, she said. STEM education has now worked its way into the nation's conscience and policies as being key to a competitive workforce and better economy.\nArts advocates, however, argue the acronym is missing a letter: \"A\" for arts.\nAmple research shows the importance of arts education. Yet some anecdotal evidence suggests that arts programs disappeared from many schools as educators diverted resources to beef up their STEM programming.\nWhether the \"A\" should be added to STEM at all is another conversation. Education Week has reported on the STEM versus STEAM debate.\nEveryone at Thursday's event seemed to wholeheartedly believe that it does. The assembly was a launching pad to raise the profile of the STEM to STEAM discussion.\nThursday's event marked VH1 Save the Music Foundation's shift to STEAM advocacy work. It brought some big names to the task. Panelists included Masi Oka, the Emmy-nominated actor from \"Heroes\"; Kenny Lattimore, the Grammy-nominated R&B artist; Rosemarie Trugilio, a senior vice president of Sesame Workshop; Gabriella Musacchia, a research scholar, audiologist, and president of the BabyRhythms music program; Kim Richards, co-founder and director of STEAMConnect; and Miguel Centeno, a managing director at Aetna.\nHere are some of the ideas that the panelists stressed.\nEducators need to stop thinking in \"silos.\" Art concepts can be incorporated into any aspect of science, engineering, technology or math. All it takes is a little creativity. Just ask Elmo. Sesame Street started using STEAM curriculum in 2012.\nTeachers need STEAM training. But many schools don't offer it. Musacchia said one of her teacher friends actually set up a GoFundMe site to raise money so she could get STEAM training.\nThe conversation needs to get louder. VH1 Save the Music will release a \"STEAM toolkit\" this fall with recommendations and key findings for parents, educators, and lawmakers to raise awareness of the STEAM concept and foster nationwide growth in the movement.\nIf you want to watch the event, the livestream is archived on VH1 Save the Music's web site. (Fast-forward to 43:45 for the Sesame Street discussion. The video clips are played about five minutes later.)\nSave the Music's web site also offers several resources for educators (scroll down to the \"Take Action\" section) to help them build a successful STEAM program.",

        "raw_content": "Report: Epstein to the Cubs\nThere are numerous sources reporting that Theo Epstein to the Cubs is close to being a done deal.\nESPN\u2019s Buster Olney is reporting that Epstein has agreed to a five-year contract worth roughly $20 million. Olney also reports that the compensation package due to the Red Sox will be prospects and/or cash.\nIn a story from 2009 when the Red Sox were in the playoffs, Epstein talked about building for the long haul.\n\u201cThat\u2019s why we have clearly defined objectives,\u201d Epstein said. \u201cIn our mission statement, part of it is we want to operate with a long-term view to put ourselves in a position to win 95 games and get in the playoffs as often as we possibly. Now we\u2019ve done it six out of seven years. Part of the thinking is that if you make the postseason multiple times, you improve your chances of making the World Series. Theoretically, if you\u2019re in eight times, you\u2019ll win one World Series. Well, we\u2019ve been in five times. This is our sixth time in. The first five times in, we won two World Series. I\u2019m not going to [complain] about that.\n\u201cI don\u2019t believe in building a team with the season goal of winning the World Series, and the next year you look up, you\u2019re old all of a sudden, you don\u2019t have any options. \u2018Now we\u2019re a 75-win team. Hey, we won the World Series two years ago.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t work that way. We want to try to always operate with the broadest possible lens, so we have a solid foundation so that every year, or just about every year, we\u2019ll be in a position to win 95 games and get in, and then trust our players, trust our manager, trust our coaching staff, trust our advanced scouting, trust our ability to perform under pressure to go win a World Series.\u201d\nWith Epstein\u2019s track record it\u2019s hard not to be optimistic. The contracts from the Hendry Era will handcuff Epstein at the outset, but with Starlin Castro and the handful of ready prospects there is hope on the horizon.\nAuthor Kevin CapiePosted on October 12, 2011 October 12, 2011 Categories Baseball, CubsTags Cubs, Theo EpsteinLeave a comment on Report: Epstein to the Cubs\nHow much will Theo Epstein cost the Cubs?\nIt appears that Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts has officially set the Theo Epstein-to-the-Cubs wheels in motion. Whether it comes to fruition or not remains to be seen, but this is a sign that Epstein, the Red Sox general manager with one year left on his contract, is likely the top choice to replace Jim Hendry.\nAs that link points out, the Red Sox are said to be wanting compensation of some sort just to talk to Epstein, let alone actually get him to the Windy City. That might be a bit of a stretch, but if the Cubs do sign Epstein there will be some sort of compensation going the other way.\nThis is where it could get really interesting. For Ozzie Guillen, a manager with only one World Series ring and, for lack of a better term, history of being difficult on management, the White Sox received a pair of prospects from the Marlins.\nP Jhan Marinez entered the season at No. 4 on Baseball America\u2019s Marlins top 30 list. He went 3-8 with three saves at Double-A this year. INF Ozzie Martinez was No. 5, hit .245 in Triple-A and played 20 games (with a .130 avg.) with Florida, but was not a September roster addition.\nSo using those metrics, that would certainly put minor-leaguers Brett Jackson, Josh Vitters, Trey McNutt, Chris Carpenter and Matt Szczur in play. That\u2019s a scary proposition for a team that is going to be counting on those prospects to help rebuild the franchise.\nBut Epstein does have two World Series rings and has effectively turned the Red Sox from losers to insufferable winners. (The adjective is not a pox on him, but rather the fanbase.) The similarities between Boston then and the Cubs now are obvious. It certainly is not lost on the Ricketts family, who would love to turn Wrigley into a Midwestern Fenway.\nIf the Cubs are willing to give up four top 30 prospects a year ago (Chris Archer, Hak-Ju Lee, Brandon Guyer and Robinson Chirinos) for Matt Garza, than two or maybe even three players off that list isn\u2019t a bad price to pay for one of the best GMs in the game today. Losing a handful of those top prospects would likely delay the window for serious contention by a year or two, but could extend it for years to come.\nThat\u2019s a tradeoff I\u2019m sure most Cubs fans would be willing to take.\nAuthor Kevin CapiePosted on October 5, 2011 Categories Baseball, CubsTags Brett Jackson, Chris Carpenter, Cubs, general manager, Josh Vitters, Matt Szczur, Theo Epstein, Tom Ricketts, Trey McNuttLeave a comment on How much will Theo Epstein cost the Cubs?\nCubs\u2019 top man in town\nBack from vacation just in time for Cubs\u2019 chairman Tom Ricketts to visit O\u2019Brien Field as he makes his rounds through the Cubs\u2019 minor league system. This was Ricketts\u2019 first trip to Peoria since his family took control of the Cubs in October of 2009.\nThere was very little new ground broken in a press conference this afternoon as some of the obvious questions were deemed off limits although this was Ricketts\u2019 first media outing since the passing of the Major League trade deadline. Still there were some very revealing answers.\nWhen asked if he anticpates making any changes on the field, Ricketts answer was simple: \u201cI don\u2019t know just yet. It\u2019s something we\u2019ll decide at the right time.\u201d\nRicketts was also asked where the new ownership has had the biggest impact. \u201cWe probably accomplished the goals of the business side and the community and charitable-giving side. The results on the field, it\u2019s been a tough year. It\u2019s hard to say we\u2019ve had any type of big impact on the baseball side, but that being said a lot of the stuff we\u2019re doing now should pay off in the long run.\u201d\nRicketts spent a lot of time talking about building the minor league system, and I\u2019ll have more on that in Thursday\u2019s Journal Star. The overriding theme from today is that long-term the goal appears to be to build from within. And that starts at the grass roots level, even below Peoria, as far back as the construction of a new academy in the Dominican Repbublic. (There will likely be more on that in Sunday\u2019s Journal Star).\nINF Elliot Soto was promoted to Daytona and RHP Robinson Lopez was placed on the DL with shoulder soreness.\nOF Jesus Morelli is in from Boise and RHP Ramon Garcia is in from Mesa to replace them on the roster.\nAuthor Kevin CapiePosted on August 3, 2011 August 4, 2011 Categories Chiefs, CubsTags Chiefs, Cubs, Tom RickettsLeave a comment on Cubs\u2019 top man in town",

        "raw_content": "In simple terms, carbohydrates are broken down by various enzymes into simple sugars then glucose so they can be absorbed into the blood. Digestive enzymes are like biological scissors \u2013 they chop long starch molecules into simpler ones.\nAccording to experts, if we cannot burn all the fat we consume, the remainder is stored as fat tissue. This fat-burning ability is determined by the amount of insulin in our bloodstream. [Note: a major factor in insulin release is the glycemic index (GI) value of the carb-foods or meal consumed.] When insulin levels are low, we burn mainly fat. When they are high, we burn mainly carbs. But a problem arises when insulin levels remain constantly high, as in the case of individuals suffering from insulin insensitivity. In such cases, the constant need to burn carbs reduces our fat-burning ability. Result? More fat is stored as fatty (adipose) tissue.\nGenerally speaking, the speed of digestion is determined by the chemical nature of the carb itself, and thus how \u201cresistant\u201d it is to the activity of the enzymes. A simple sugar is usually much less resistant than a starch, and is digested or metabilized much faster. Things that slow down digestion include: the presence of acid (from gastric juices or the food itself), and the presence of soluble fiber.\nHigh Insulin Levels May Increase Risk of Obesity\nThis is why experts are linking high insulin levels, together with a reduced ability to burn fat, with obesity. And as you can see, high insulin levels are typically determined by the type of carbs we eat. High GI foods or meals trigger higher levels of insulin than intermediate or low GI foods. This is why the Glycemic Index is considered to be so important in assessing carb eating habits.\nAs we have seen, the human body is fuelled by glucose. Therefore all foods must be converted into glucose before they can be used as fuel. Carbohydrates are more easily converted into glucose than protein or fat, and are considered to be the body\u2019s \u201cpreferred\u201d source of energy, and the brain\u2019s essential source of energy.\nSimple carbs (excepting fruit sugar) are more easily converted into glucose because their molecular structure breaks down faster in the stomach and small intestine. Therefore these carbs raise glucose levels in the bloodstream quite rapidly (less than 30 minutes). This explains why diabetics, who occasionally suffer from an excessively low blood-glucose level, can quickly restore their balance by eating simple carb-foods, like sweets.\nThis entry was posted in Diet & Nutrition and tagged Carbohydrates, Diet, Insulin.

        "raw_content": "This is the captian of the guard who was at the gate.\nThe Guard at the Gate\nThey rose the next morning and restarted the fire and ate what was left of the rabbits and a few fruits that they had picked. They made their way toward the gate they had seen the day before. As they made their way towards their target, William noticed more of the details of the about the gate. The wall was about fifteen feet high. It was constructed so will that these were no foot or hand folds. Ivy had grown in the few tiny cracks over the years. On the right side of the wall was a tall tower. I was four stories high and well fortifies. I appeared to have thick walls and slots for arrows. At the top, its roof came to appoint, where a flag was flown high on a pole. It blew in the find, flapping with the breeze. Most of the trees around it were for or five stories high also, there branches swaying softly.\nIn the middle of the wall was an iron gate. The bars were thick and dense. There were two guards standing at attention on wither side of the gate. They wore chainmail armor and a simple steel helmet. A red cape draped from their shoulders to halfway down the back of their claves. In their right hands they held spears that were about six and a half feet tall, and on their left hip they wore a medium length sword. They wore hard leather boots, which almost came up to where their capes ended. It appeared as if there was a dagger in their right boots, but it was hard for William to tell from this distance.\nWhen they were about twenty feet away, the guard on the right, in a very demanding tone said, \u201cState your business.\u201d\nThen Oslick stopped, and voice that was far beyond the man he looked in his ragged clothes, said, \u201cWe are only two weary travelers. My son and I wish only to continue our journey.\u201d\n\u201cWhere does your journey take you?\u201d questioned the guard.\n\u201cLook, just let us pass and we won\u2019t give you any trouble,\u201d snapped William.\n\u201cYou are not going to give me any trouble anyway,\u201d replied the guard, clearly showing his power over the two travelers.\nDrawing the sword Oslick had given him, William said, \u201cYou want trouble? I can give you\u2026\u201d\n\u201cStop! This is neither the time nor the place,\u201d interrupted Oslick and he gave a harsh, scowl to William. At this, William put away his sword, though still obviously mad with the guard and wishing that he could finish what he had not even been able to start. \u201cWe wish to make our way to the capital city of Vencer, where we will visit his highness the king.\u201d\n\u201cI am afraid that would be impossible,\u201d another deep voice said from behind the gate. The guards quickly opened the gate for the man. Like the other guards, he wore a helmet and armor, but his helmet was more detailed than that of the other guards. His cape was almost as large as a cloak and he wore a few other strange pieces of armor. They were scattered over him in random seemingly unhelpful places. He was about six feet tall and had broad shoulders. He was full of muscle and his presence gave off a feeling of power. He also appeared to be oppressing and powerful in more than just the obvious physical way. \u201cI cannot let anyone pass through this gate by order of the king of Boshra.\u201d\n\u201cWhy would the king issue such an order, preventing the free people of his kingdom from traveling or conducting their normal business?\u201d\n\u201cWhere have you been? There has no normal business for almost three years now. In that time Vencer has been under siege. The king has blocked all the roads possible for the safety and protection of the people. He hopes to keep them out of this battle which seems to merely be over the one city. Now, to make things worse, goblins have begun attacking some of the south land farms with wars of their own. The entire empire is about to fall. Many people have taken ships out of the land. Those who haven\u2019t are either too poor to leave, or are hoping that the empire will survive. Personally, I do not think Vencer will last much longer. Then it is only a matter of time before all of Boshra falls. So even if you could get through, it would do you no good. By the time you make it there, orgons will have complete run of the place. Though it is strange. Before now the orgons were so stupid they couldn\u2019t even farm. They were almost extinct when suddenly they appeared from the east and began attacking. A short time ago, there was not a bow between all of their weakling race. Now they siege the catapults. Strange, is it not?\u201d\nWilliam quickly glanced over at Oslick. On his face was a look of shock and horror. William had heard about goblins and rumors of the war in the north, but nothing this bad. He thought it was just a group of bandits making trouble or a small city rebelling. Rebels and goblins had happened before and had quickly solved.\nAfter a few seconds, in a very thoughtful voice Oslick said, \u201cYes, very strange. Very strange indeed. Very well, thank you for your help.\u201d With that he turned and began to walk westward without another word. William was quick to follow in step, though he had no idea what was to happen next.\nThey traveled the entire day along the edge of the forest. At last Oslick stopped his grueling pace and stood still. He looked into the forest to the north and looked deep in thought as if trying to remember something, but not quite being able to. It seemed an eternity as William stood watching him think. He waited and waited but he said nothing for a very long time. At last he received a short yes and set down his back along side of his elder\u2019s.\nHe immediately began to set up camp, not wanting to disrupt Oslick in his thoughts. He had soon made a fire and began to cook food. He looked over at the massive figures of the trees. They were dark and seemed to radiate an evil since constantly. He began to wonder why he had come. He question if they could ever reach their goal. He began to think of death. This could be the end of his life. In the first may await the doom he was destined for. Perhaps he should go back. Maybe it would be better to suffer on the farm rather than to die in this cursed place.\n\u201cIt is not better. Trust me.\u201d The sudden statement came as a shock and startled him. The low voice of Oslick seemed as if he was not really focused on the present. \u201cDeath is not all that bad. After you get past the physical pain, there is no more pain. There is light though. Light that would blind anyone here. But there, it is different. There, men are free from pain and suffering. There is no death, no sorrow, and no tears. It is far better than the happiest place here.\u201d\nWithout even looking over he continued on. \u201cWhen I was first faced with the darkness, my thoughts were much like yours. I remember it very well. That is how I knew what you were thinking. It is true that many die in the Dark Forest, and I am sure that you have heard the tales. Stories of monsters so deadly that a single look can kill you. Spiders with legs the size of trees. But there are also tales of the men of the forest that are said to live for a very long time. Some say that they are near immortal, and that they are half elves and half humans. Others tales tell of a city in the trees were they prosper away from the evil of the forest and the often more evil acts of man. Of course, these are all just legends.\u201d\n\u201cWhy do you ask me?\u201d\n\u201cWell\u2026because you seem to know more than most people do.\u201d\n\u201cSo I did. But this does not qualify me to answer your question. The forest is huge and I could never claim to have been to all of it. No one can know how much of these stories are true. Can men survive in the forest? Are they half elf? And what of the monsters who lurk here? Questions that may never be answered, some that answers may not be wanted to. But it does not matter. Our only way to make it past is to go through. And that will require hard work, a brave heart, and perhaps even a little bit of foolishness. All of these I know you have or are capable of. What I am not so sure of is your ability. You show promise, but promise is not going to keep you alive. Here. Practice.\u201d\nHe then through him a fair sized rock that fit comfortably into his palm. He began to practice as they had the night before. This time though, it was far harder. Last time he felt confidant with his skills and that he was able to move the pebble. Now he could hardly make the rock wobble. Even so, he continued to practice late into the night. When the fire had finally burnt out, he had to stop. He was exhausted like he had never been before. He was sweating profusely and was light headed. He collapsed to the ground and began to lose his sight. Suddenly he saw Oslick standing over him and heard him say, \u201cYou are done\u201d with a smirking and put his palm inches from his face and began muttering something. Then there was a sudden surge of heat and all went black.\nThere was a darkness all around. No, there was one small sparkle off in the distance. Perhaps it was more than just a sparkle. It was growing bigger. Then there was a light. It drew nearer. The closer it came, the more he could see. Finally it was upon him and he was in. It was as full of light as the darkness was of the empty void.\nYet despite all this light, he did not need to squint. All the light did nothing to his eyes. They did not hurt at all. Not did any other part of him. He felt no heat, nor cold. All was the same. In a small way it was agonizing to not feel. Yet, it was a blessing that there was no pain. He began to look around. It was then that he found that it was more than just a light. There were figures. There were shapes. The were beings.\nWhat type of beings and or if they were friendly, he could not tell, but he could slowly begin to make out the larger objects. Trees. They were trees. In fact, it was a forest. Now he could see more clearly and could see that there were buildings. But unlike most other buildings he had seen, these ones were in the trees. He began to wonder, How can the trees support such wait? They must be hollow and empty. But this proved to be incorrect.\nSoon he could see people walking around on platforms by the houses. There were staircases traveling from one level to another. There were pathways connecting the buildings. Before long he found that there were different kinds. The majority were houses, but there were businesses too.\nWhat looked like a blacksmith could be seen off to one side. He tried to go towards this one because of his interest in smithing, but found that he could not move himself. He quickly realized what he was being pulled towards. In the middle of the town there was a large building. It was at least four times larger that the other buildings around it. It was three stories tall, each story was smaller than the last leaving the last as just a small room. Something in this room was what was pulling him.\nBefore he realized it, he was \u201cstanding\u201d on the platform outside the upper room. Although if he was truly standing, he could not tell. (When you can\u2019t feel anything it makes it hard to tell.) Nonetheless, he was there when suddenly appeared a strange man.\nHe had a rather long beard and was bent over. He looked very old. His clothes, his walk, his eyes, and his talk all looked old.\n\u201cI know something you do not ,\u201d he said in a way that sounded as if it was supposed to be a teasing way. When he stood there and said nothing, the man added, \u201cYour name. Who you are. What you are. What you are doing. All of these things I have the answer to, but I am not going to tell you. This I will tell you though, when you are in greatest despair, look up. Look up.\u201d\n\u201cLook up to what?\u201d he tried to say, but he began to feel something against his back. He tried to turn to see what it was, but then there was a piercing pain in his neck. He decided to stay still. Even this did not work because not only did his back continue to hurt, but now he was began to feel cold all over. The only place that did not feeling like it was freezing, was his head, which felt like it was on fire. The trees and the city soon faded, and the man began to lose his solidity.\nThen it was all gone. He could no longer tell if he was in darkness or in light. His pain was overwhelming him and he could no longer think to make the distinction. Then he realized something. He had eyelids. Under all the pain and new feeling, he never noticed they were there. He tried to open them, but they were extremely heavy. He could hardly move them at all. At last he succeeded, and again there was a flood of light that pored into his eyes.\nThis time though, the light caused excruciating pain. Again there was a shape. This time is was a face. Oslick. He was right over him. He looked angry and very upset. A wave of fear rushed over him and he began to struggle, but when he did this it caused more pain then before.\n\u201cYou are safe now; you are not dead. Look at me, William. You are safe.\u201d\nHe looked straight up at him. His eyes were kind and as he did so he could see the stress and agony in his face melt away.\n\u201cLook up,\u201d he moaned and his fell to the side and his eyes closed again.",

Silence functions as a blank signifier that can be invested with meaning at will\u2014or at whim. It can thus be used as a tool of oppression and resistance, agreement and disapproval, deep engagement and withdrawal. One wonders, however, whether contemporary society, with its loud technology and louder forms of media, is becoming increasingly befuddled by instances of silence. For example, Joel and Ethan Coens' No Country for Old Men (2007) uses an absence of soundtrack to emphasize the bleakness and moral uncertainty of the contemporary American West: after screenings, the public left the theatres perturbed in part because the film did not offer sound cues that would help viewers digest the plot. The proliferation of cellular phones and blackberry devices, as well as of social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, testifies to the fact that silence is a persona non grata in an age of immediate vocalization of personal experience. And yet, perhaps because of this monopoly of noise and narration, silence has become fetishized and idealized as a marker of transcendence and self-development, whether in the form of meditation, private reading, isolation tanks, or solitary hikes.\nThese are just some of the topics that will be explored in the third issue of Pivot, entitled The Rest Is Silence. We invite participants from across disciplinary borders to submit papers that engage with any aspect of this highly mobile field of inquiry.\nPossible topics could be inspired by, but should not be limited to, the following thematic concerns:\nSilence in film and visual arts\nDramatic silence/pause\nComedy and silence\nPolitics of exclusion and erasure in literary canons\nLoud silences\n\"Digital hum\" \u2013 replacement of human speech by machines\nThe role of silence in religions, spirituality and\nmemorial/monument/memory\nReading aloud and reading quietly\nDisciplining through silence \u2013 seen but not heard\nPolitics of interrogation\nMuting and censorship\nGags and muzzles\nPlease submit 6000-7000 word articles by SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 by registering and submitting at http://pi.library.yorku.ca/ojs/index.php/pivot/about\nAll submissions must follow the style guidelines found on the same page.",

L. E. BEAULIEU, K.C., LL.D.\n\u00abCOMMUNITY OF PROPERTY IN THE LAW OF QUEBEC\u00bb\nIn 1934 one of the most outstanding jurists of this country, the Honourable Newton Rowell, then President of The Canadian Bar Association and now Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals of Ontario, selected as the subject of his presidential address: \u00abOur Heritage in the Civil and the Common Law.\u00bb\nAfter having shown the characteristic features and differences of the two great systems of law which extend throughout the largest part of the civilized world, to wit: the civil law and the common law, Mr. Rowell concluded his address by saying:\n\u00abShould it not be the duty of each to study the law, the literature and the way of thinking of the other, so as to promote mutual understanding and whole-hearted co-operation, so essential to national unity? This is one of the great purposes for which The Canadian Bar Association was formed, and one of the vital national interests it serves.\u00bb\nInspired by these last remarks, I beg leave to submit to your consideration a legal institution which forms part of our heritage in the civil law, that is to say the matrimonial r\u00e9gime which prevails in the Province of Quebec and is known as \u00abThe Community of Property.\u00bb\nMuch has been said and written about the question, not only in my own province, but also in the common law provinces, and what has been said and written was not always laudatory. The system was described as mediaeval, autocratic and unfair to women; and social reformers of both sexes have loudly proclaimed that it should be discarded.\nI realize that I am dealing with a contentious matter; but I hope that it is nevertheless one of those topics which, under the constitution of our Association, the President is entitled to discuss.\nAnd, in order to clarify the atmosphere, I wish to state at once that I am not preaching for the introduction of the Quebec system in the common law provinces. I merely wish to show that our legislation, respecting married women, is not altogether unworthy of a civilized country.\nNow, in opening my case, I am faced at once with a very serious objection.\nUnder article 986 of our Civil Code, persons legally incapable of contracting are, amongst others, minors, persons interdicted for insanity or madness, and married women. Hence the conclusion so often drawned by our critics that in Quebec insane persons and married women are placed on the same footing.\nBut, under the Cities and Towns Act, persons who are disqualified from holding any municipal office are, amongst others, members of the Privy Council, members of the Judiciary, and persons convicted of treason. Yet, it was never contented that members of the Privy Council or of the Judiciary were thereby assimilated to traitors.\nThe law, like politics, sometimes makes strange bedfellows. The incapacity of married women and that of minors and of insane persons, although included in the same enactment, derive from totally different causes. Married women are not incapable by reason of the presumed weakness or insufficient development of their intellect. In fact, in all matters appertaining to private law, unmarried women and widows are vested with all the rights and privileges enjoyed by men. And it has not so far been shown that the state of wedlock, by itself, constitutes a cause or creates a presumption of insanity.\nThe incapacity of married women is purely and simply a consequence of the authority of the husband over the family, including the wife. It merely consists in the fact that the wife must generally obtain the authorization of her husband in order to make valid contracts, and the necessity of obtaining such an authorization is one of the peculiarities of the common of property system.\nWhat then is community of property?\nIt can be described in one word as the absolute opposite of the r\u00e9gime which prevails in the common law provinces and which is generally known as separation of property. In the other provinces of this Dominion, all the property of whatever description which the consorts may possess at the time of the marriage, or which they may acquire during the marriage, remains totally separate and each consort retains the ownership and management of his or her own property.\nCommunity of property, on the contrary, is a partnership between husband and wife, placed under the exclusive management of the husband, wherein are put in common all the moveable property which the consorts possess on the day of the marriage, and all the property of whatever description they may acquire during the marriage, and whereunder the wife, at the time of the dissolution, will share equally in the assets, if the partnership has been successful; but may withdraw free from all partnership liabilities, if she so elects.\nAs appears from the definition, the matrimonial partnership does not necessarily include all the property of the consorts. It does not comprise the immovables or real property which may belong to them at the time of the marriage; nor does it comprise, broadly speaking, real property which may accrue to them, by gift or inheritance, from their respective families. Such immovables remain the private property of the husband, or of the wife, as the case may be. They are deemed to be family estates, which should revert to the family when the partnership is dissolved.\nAnd so it may happen that, during the marriage, three different patrimonies will co-exist, belonging respectively to the partnership, to the wife and to the husband. However, in such a case all the fruits and revenues arising from these various assets will fall into the community.\nBe this as it may, the partnership between husband and wife is a real partnership. The wife is not a servant, but a real partner. Her juridical personality is not merged into that of the husband, as was the case under the old Common Law, before the statutory enactments of 1857, 1870 and 1882, respecting married women's property. But she is the joint owner of the common fund and her interest therein is equal to the interest of the husband.\nAlthough the Province of Quebec is the only province of the Dominion wherein the community of property is in force, yet I will not undertake to demonstrate that it is an original product of our land. It was organized in France, during the 13th century, for the purpose of reacting against what was then considered to be the disintegrating influence of the Roman Law, as it then existed, on the family. Under the old Roman Law, at a time when the matrimonial union was still defined as a \u00abconsortium omnis vitae\u00bb (Modestin, I Dig. de rit. nupt. 23-2), the wife could neither retain nor acquire during the marriage any property of her own. In fact, she was so entirely under the power of the husband that she became a member of the latter's family and the sister of her children. There was only one patrimony and it belonged solely and exclusively to the husband. (True it is that these were the consequences of the marriage \u00abcum manu\u00bb; but this form of marriage was the general rule and marriage under a different form was considered an inferior union).\nBut during the last period of the Roman Republic, divorce became so frequent that marriage was no longer considered a life association; so much that, as was said by a moralist, women in those days no longer computed the years, as it was customary in the good old time, by the names of the consuls, but by the names of their successive husbands.\nUnder these conditions the old system whereby the husband became the sole master of the wife's property, as well as that of his own, could no longer subsist. It was replaced by a r\u00e9gime of complete separation of property, so complete indeed that, so far as their mutual interests were concerned, the consorts were really aliens.\nSuch was the legislation which largely prevailed in France during the 13th century. This legislation was considered as conflicting with the Christian ideas respecting the mutual confidence and co-operation which should govern the matrimonial relations, and gradually a new system - the community of property - was organized in various parts of the Kingdom of France, and more particularly in and around the heart of the country, that is to say, the City and Viscounty of Paris.\nFrom France the new matrimonial r\u00e9gime was introduced into this province by the Ordnance of Louis the Fourteenth, which created the Sovereign Council of Quebec and whereby the laws and customs of the Kingdom of France were made applicable to this country, then known as New-France.\nIn our days, community of property obtains not only in this province and in France, but in nearly 50 jurisdictions, including Belgium, Holland and most of the South American countries, while Switzerland has adopted a somewhat similar system known as the union of property.\nNow is such a r\u00e9gime to be commended, or condemned?\nIn the first place, it seems most logical that two persons who have freely decided to spend their life together should form a partnership. Life in common and mutual affection are incentives to common work and savings, and the matrimonial union is naturally strenghtened by a community of interests.\nWhen hearts are united, the division line between what is yours and what is mine has a tendency to fade away.\nIn fact, even when the consorts are separate as to property, the distinction between the property of the wife and the property of the husband can hardly be maintained. The wife will as a rule, rely upon her husband to make her investments, collect her rents, manage her property; and she will not expect her husband to keep a regular set of books, in order to give an account of his stewardship.\nThose who are engaged in the practice of law will no doubt bear me out when I say that, in this province, at least, what ever might be the marriage covenants, the property of the wife will ultimately be confused with that of the husband, save and except, of course, when matrimonial life has been a failure.\nI will say more. Community of property is not only the natural consequence of a lifetime association; it is also, in most cases, I submit, more advantageous to the wife than separation as to property.\nYoung people starting in life are not, generally speaking, profusely endowed with the riches of the world. Again, generally speaking, the husband is the one who earns the money while the wife attends to the no less important duties of keeping the house and caring for the children. If the husband is successful in his calling, trade or profession, he will provide his wife during his lifetime, with all the comforts and possibly all the luxuries of life. He might even become a wealthy man. Such things, I am told, sometimes happen even in the legal profession. What then will be the lot of the wife, at the death of her husband?\nIf she is common as to property, she will take, in her own right as partner of her late husband, one-half of the property earned by the latter during the marriage.\nIf she is separate as to property, the husband may in his last will dispose of his entire estate in the manner he pleases. He may give it entirely to his children and then the widow will depend upon their good will - and they might be children of a first marriage. He may also give it entirely to strangers - there are such things as unfaithful husbands - and then the wife will fall in absolute destitution.\nWhat, if the husband dies in intestacy? Two-thirds of his estate will go to the child, or children, and one-third only, instead of one-half, to his consort. The share of the wife may, it is true, under certain conditions be equal to one-half of the intestate succession of her husband, but these conditions are so numerous that they very seldom materialize in this way.\nAt all events, in the case of separation of property, whatever the wife receives from her husband's estate is subject to succession duties, provided, of course, the amount is sufficient; while her share in the community, because she takes it in her own right, is free from all such duties. And in our days, this is not by any means an unimportant consideration.\nBut, does the system now under discussion protect the wife when she is herself earning money, in trade or otherwise?\nUnder section 1425(a) of our Civil Code, the proceeds of the personal work of the wife, in whatever occupation, as well as all property acquired by investing these proceeds, constitute what is called the reserved property of the wife.\nThis reserved property is left to the untrammelled administration of the wife. She can claim it before the courts, appear in all suits or contestations relating thereto and alienate it by sale or similar acts, without the necessity of any authorization of her husband.\nBroadly speaking, marital authority and the incapacity resulting therefrom, do not apply to the reserved property of the wife.\nBut what, if the wife is rich and the husband without means, at the time of the marriage? If the assets of the wife consist of real property, she will retain them in full ownership. If they consist of movables and the wife does not wish them to fall into the partnership which normally would result from the marriage, she has only a simple formality to fulfil: the passing of a marriage contract. For the community of property is the legal r\u00e9gime in the province of Quebec, in this sense that it applies ipso facto, in the absence of prenuptial covenants. But the consorts are never forced into community. They are free to modify at will, even to discard entirely, if they so desire, this legal system and to adopt in its place the separation of property which obtains in the common law provinces.\nCommunity of property, as already stated, is a partnership under the exclusive management of the husband.\nWhy not under the joint management of the consorts?\nThe difficulty resides in the fact that this partnership consists of two members only. It has been said by a French humorist that the chain of wedlock is so heavy that it sometimes requires the joint efforts of three persons to bear it. But in law, such a conception is not even considered.\nNow, when a partnership is composed of two persons only co-operation is either too easy or impossible. There is no middle course. One of the two must give up, or otherwise the only solution left will be separation or divorce.\nIf the concurrence of both consorts is required, so that one cannot act without the consent of the other, then, instead of one, there will be two incapable persons. The condition of the wife will not be improved and the difficulties of management will be greatly increased. (In our days, more than ever, profitable operations, whether they be sales, purchases, or repurchases, require swift action).\nIn the conjugal partnership, duality of control would only breed anarchy.\nAs a matter of fact, the partnership between husband and wife is not the only one wherein the management is entrusted to one partner only, and it is far from proven that a multiplicity of managers is the safest road to success.\nUnity of command has been tried in other fields and found advantageous to all concerned, and what was said of the house divided against itself, must always be fresh in our memory.\nBut, if one manager is enough, why not the wife?\nAt first sight, it seems rather hard to compel a woman to play the part of the silent partner. However, if one takes a broad view of the situation, it seems undeniable that, generally speaking, the husband is better equipped to deal with the outside world in matters affecting the community, and to act as the agent of the family, in external affairs. After all, nature has its own laws, under which men and women have been assigned different tasks in life. Women are not inferior to men; they are different. Being different, they have different duties to perform and to different duties must normally correspond different rights.\nIt is said that the powers enjoyed by the husband over the affairs of the community are too extensive.\nThere are indeed very wide. They include, in effect, the right to sell, alienate or pledge the common property, without the concurrence of the wife. The husband may even, within certain limits and under certain conditions, give away, without the consent of the wife, the assets of the community, provided he acts in good faith and without fraud.\nIn fact, it has been said that the husband is the lord and master of the community.\nBut then, what is the juridical condition of the wife? In the first place, it must be remembered that the proceeds of the personal work of the wife, whether she is engaged in trade, in some professional activities, or otherwise, remain under her exclusive management.\nMoreover, there exists a field wherein the wife plays a most important part: the purchase of all necessities of life for herself and for the family, including, in many instances, the husband himself.\nNo man, of course, not even a civilian, would think of depriving women of the joys of shopping.\nIn all these matters, the wife is deemed to be the general mandatory of the husband and the debts contracted in the performance of this implied mandate are chargeable, not to the wife or against her personal property, but to the community.\nAgain, there is the legal theory and there is the common every day practice. If in law the husband is lord and master of the community, one must remember what was said by a great jurist, speaking of the perpetual guardianship imposed upon women by the old Roman Law: \u00abOur laws, said this jurist, have placed our women under the authority of guardians; but, in fact, women have managed to place their guardians under their own authority\u00bb.\nFinally, the wide powers of management conferred upon the husband are compensated by special privileges granted to the wife.\nIn the case of an ordinary partnership, the participation in the profits carries with it an obligation to contribute to the losses. When the matrimonial partnership is dissolved, on the contrary the wife has an option to exercise: she may accept or renounce the community.\nIf the partnership has been successful, she will no doubt accept and then she will get one-half of the assets of the community, after payment of the debts. But, if there is a loss, she may renounce and then she will be freed from all contribution to the debts of the community. Her exemption even extends to those debts which she may have incurred, jointly and severally with her husband; for the wife who binds herself, either with or for her husband, is bound only in so far as she retains the quality of common as to property.\nAll these debts the husband or his legal representatives will have to bear alone. Sole manager of the community, the husband must make good the losses resulting from his mismanagement, or perhaps misfortune; and his legal representatives are in the same position.\nAlthough freed from all liabilities, the wife will nevertheless be entitled to keep her reserved property; also her real property, if it still exists in kind, or the price thereof, if it has been sold during the marriage. She might even, in certain cases, claim indemnities for the losses suffered; and, in all cases, she is entitled to charge to the heirs of her husband the cost of her mourning.\nThe law goes a step further. Even if she accepts the community, the wife will only be liable for its debts to the extend of the benefits derived therefrom. Partner with respect to profits, the wife is no longer a partner when there is loss to bear.\nBut, the wife can renounce the community only at the time of its dissolution, which normally takes place at the death of one of the consorts; and at that time all the assets of the community might be dilapidated, if the husband is a bad manager.\nThis possibility has been forseen. The wife may put an end to the husband's management, at any time, if it proves detrimental to her interests.\nUnder section 1311 of our Civil Code, separation of property can be obtained when the interests of the wife are in peril, or when the disordered state of the husband's affairs gives reason to fear that his property will not be sufficient to satisfy her rights, and generally when it appears just and necessary that the separation be granted to safeguard the wife's interests.\nOur courts have always given to this enactment a broad construction, in favour of the wife. When a separation is obtained, the community is dissolved and the wife regains the entire administration of her own property, including her share in the community.\nThe rights and interests of the wife are further safeguarded.\nUnder section 2029 of our Civil Code, married women have a legal hypothec (or privilege) \u00abfor all claims or demands which they may have against their husbands on account of whatever they may have received or acquired during the marriage by succession, inheritance or gift...\u00bb\nThis privilege must, it is true, be registered on the property of the husband, in order to become effective. But the husband is bound to have it registered, on pain of punishment, as for misdemeanour, and of being liable for all damages. And if the husband is not of age, his father, mother or guardians are bound to effect this registration, \u00abon pain of being held liable for all damages in favour of the wife.\u00bb\nIn view of the foregoing, I think I am justified in concluding that the community of property, as it exists in Quebec, can favourably be compared with other institutions governing the relations between husband and wife, which obtain in other countries. If it is true that, under this r\u00e9gime, the consorts are not placed on an equal footing, then it is the husband who has cause to complain. In fact, when the French laws were codified and the judges of the various provinces were consulted, a large number of magistrates from Southern France objected to the community of property, on the ground that it was unfair to the husband.\nAs a last word, I beg leave to refer to a paper written by the Honourable Charles Lobingier, head of the Civil and Comparative Law Department of the National University of Washington, and published in the American Bar Association Journal, in April 1928. Pointing out that several American states had introduced the r\u00e9gime of the community of property in their legislation, the learned Judge said: \u00abIs it not a subject for national pride that eight of our American states have already abandoned this provincial and individualistic system for one [the community] which has become so nearly universal throughout the civilized world?\u00bb",

        "raw_content": "How working in a department store gave me permission to take control of how others reacted to my appearance.\nWhen I was growing up, I just wanted to be normal. I wanted to have smooth skin \u2013 in any \u2018normal\u2019 skin tone other than red. I wanted to have my hair plaited by the girls in my class and be invited to more parties. I hoped that others would stop being too afraid to touch me and I tried to win my not-really-friends over with Christmas gifts from the discount store.\nIt was so hard being different. I wasn\u2019t disabled enough to get the assistance I needed at school (which was a private space to apply my creams and to be able to sit indoors and read or do craft while the other students swam or played sport). But I was just disabled enough for my peers to call me names, leave me out of activities and avoid sitting on the seat I\u2019d just sat on. Teachers would ask me whether I was telling the truth about being bullied. My parents sent me to a church youth group so I could have the chance to form friendships outside of school. But when members of this youth group told me I was a sinner because I am not baptised and because my parents have black and white skin \u2013 and that\u2019s why I have red skin, I left. I didn\u2019t understand how my parents could love me so much when I didn\u2019t feel loved by others.\nAnd so I only felt among people who accepted and understood me when I was in hospital. I remember telling my parents I\u2019d rather be in hospital than at school because people liked me ther\nBut it was when I turned 17 that things changed. 17 was the final year of high school \u2013 the end of feeling alone was near. It was the year I got a job, working at a department store for six hours a week after school. It was the year I learnt there was a wider world out there \u2013 and people were nicer than I\u2019d experienced at school. Perhaps it was because they had a workplace code of conduct to follow, or maybe they were just genuinely good people. There at the department store I made friends that I still have to this day. I developed valuable life skills there: customer service, prioritisation, leadership and managing work and study. Most importantly, I learnt how to handle questions and comments about my appearance in an assertive yet professional way. I worked there for four years, until moved to a city three hours away, and I only wish I\u2019d started working at the department store earlier.\nOne day before my shift, I was queuing up to buy a CD. Music was my life then. I think I\u2019d just turned 18, and was still fairly timid. A customer asked me something \u2013 I was in uniform so he recognised me as an employee. And another customer referred to me as \u2018the lobster over there\u2019. I was upset, but I also didn\u2019t know how - or even if - I could speak up about him calling me a lobster. And so I met with the store manager \u2013 a big deal for a junior employee. We talked about ways I could handle customers\u2019 questions and rude comments. I was able to be politely assertive and I had the choice in passing the customer onto a colleague if they were really rude. I didn\u2019t have to work on the main checkouts where questions about my appearance came as quickly as customers\u2019 items on the conveyor belt. This was one of the most empowering things to happen to me. I was given permission to take control of how others reacted to my appearance.\nAnd so today, I don\u2019t think I need to turn every question, comment, stare or taunt into an opportunity for education. I don\u2019t like how strangers feel they can intrude on my life by needing to know \"what happened?\" or why my face is red. Sometimes they ask me about my appearance before they even say hello. I get asked if I\u2019m sunburnt, told I should use aloe vera and I notice people staring metres away. So rude!\nThe reason why people ask about my appearance so much \u2013 because I have a rare, severe, genetic skin condition called Ichthyosis makes my skin red, scaly, itchy and painful. I was born with this condition, my parents don\u2019t have it (nor did they know anything about it prior to my birth) and there is no cure \u2013 no matter how many \u2018well meaning\u2019 recommendations or prayers people give me. The condition is medically challenging (when it gets really bad, I go into hospital for wet dressings and intravenous antibiotics) and also socially challenging, as I\u2019ve mentioned.\nBut I\u2019m not suffering from Ichthyosis. I\u2019m living with it. Thriving even. I work full time in a corporate events role. I\u2019ve forged a writing and speaking career \u2013 I\u2019ve been published by publications that I read and have spoken at Australian and British writing and medical conferences. I\u2019ve won some awards (last year I was named as one of Australia\u2019s 100 Women of Influence for my work around diversity). And I\u2019ve connected a lot of people with Ichthyosis through writing my blog. In May this year, I organised the first Australian Ichthyosis Meet, bringing together 75 patients and family members affected by Ichthyosis. 25 attendees had Ichthyosis. Some of the attendees had never met anyone else with the condition before. This event was life changing \u2013 my parents tell me it was the best day of their life (and it was mine too!). I\u2019m getting married next year \u2013 something I\u2019d never thought would happen. Adam, my fianc\u00e9, is the most loving, understanding man and I am so lucky to have found him. While my skin and cream gets all over his clothes, he tells me he likes finding my skin in his pockets because it means he carries me with him when I\u2019m not around.\nMy difference is a gift. It\u2019s afforded me so many opportunities \u2013 and I\u2019ve met some amazing people. And now when I look in the mirror, I am so happy with the way I look. I almost never want to blend in.\nThis post was originally written for Meg Zucker's blog, Don't Hide it Flaunt it.\nAlso, I'm so excited to be speaking at the Digital DIY Day at the Melbourne Writers Festival next weekend.

You are not special because of your skin, but the gift of writting and inspire others.I come from another country, speak with a different and thick accent. The other mothers at school never invite me to anything, and so inside I feel like I don't belong, I don't fit in. Reading your story (that is far different from mine) makes me realise that we are all different in someways.Thank you! S",

        "raw_content": "Matthew 25 Project kicks off with 2,200 sandwiches\nLaura and Tim Sheehan, and their sons sons Matthew, Timothy, Joseph and Thomas, make sandwiches for the Cathedral Kitchen at Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish in Collingswood on Oct. 23. The family was participating in the first of a series of events at the parish called the Matthew 25 Project, an effort to put into practice the teachings of Christ to feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick and visit the imprisoned.\nRecently some 150 parishioners of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Parish in Collingswood took the words of the Gospel, particularly the call to feed the hungry, to heart.\nAt sandwich-making events on Oct. 20 and 23, the parish made a total of more than 2,200 sandwiches, which were donated to the Cathedral Kitchen and the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Camden to be given to the homeless.\nThe sandwich-makings kicked off a series of events at the parish called the Matthew 25 Project. In the five weeks leading up to Christ the King Sunday on Nov. 23, when the Matthew 25 Gospel will be read, the parish will hold an event each week to demonstrate the five actions listed by Jesus: feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty, welcome the stranger, clothe the naked, care for the sick and visit the imprisoned.\nThe Gospel is only heard once every three years according to the liturgical readings cycle of the church. Christ the King Sunday is the last Sunday of the liturgical calendar, followed by the first Sunday of Advent, the beginning of a new liturgical year.\n\u201cWhen we say Christ the King we\u2019re not talking about an earthly kingdom or royalty. We\u2019re talking about being of service to the human community. That\u2019s what Jesus was always urging us to,\u201d said Sister Claire McNichol, S.S.J., pastoral associate and part of the leadership of the Matthew 25 Project efforts in the parish.\nBlessed Teresa is not the only parish in the diocese to take part in the Matthew 25 Project, which developed as a partnership between Blessed Teresa\u2019s start-up social justice committee and the diocesan Office of Life and Justice Ministries.\n\u201cI was so inspired by the ideas and energy [at Blessed Teresa Parish], I thought this would be a great thing to offer to other parishes,\u201d said Michael Jordan Laskey, director of the Office of Life and Justice ministries.\nThirteen parishes are putting on a total of 22 events in the weeks leading up to Christ the King Sunday as part of the project. St. Joseph Church in Somers Point held a Make a Difference Day on Oct. 25 where participants heard a talk on the importance of service and then dispersed to five sites within the community, working at a food pantry, visiting the elderly, and assisting parishioners with household tasks. St. Brendan the Navigator Parish in Avalon held a four-week diaper drive. The Parish Nurse Council is conducting blood screening tests at three parishes this month.\n\u201cOur parishes are the place where we live the mission of Jesus Christ in its entirety as best we can. That includes proclaiming the word, celebrating the sacraments and working together to make the world closer to how God wants it to be,\u201d Laskey said.\nBlessed Teresa of Calcutta is the only parish to have an event each of the five weeks leading up to Christ the King Sunday and synced to each of the five conditions listed in the Gospel.\nOn Oct. 29 the parish held a \u201cWelcoming the Stranger\u201d panel discussion where several immigrants and refugees to the United States shared their stories. The parish also has scheduled a visit to a homeless shelter, a communal anointing of the sick service, and a talk by diocesan Prison Ministry coordinator Sister Mary Lou Lafferty.\nThe first sandwich-making event was part of monthly sandwich-makings held by the parish\u2019s St. Vincent DePaul society, but they doubled their usual attendance and output. The second night was billed as a family service night. Close to 100 people, including many children and teenagers, filled the parish school\u2019s cafeteria.\n\u201cWhat we really wanted to show the kids is that as a Catholic, service is not an add-on, it\u2019s not optional. We\u2019re trying to give the kids that identity and teach them to be disciples, to pray and to serve,\u201d said Patricia Lipperini, Faith Formation Director for Blessed Teresa parish.\nWhile their parents made sandwiches, many children had the option to decorate placemats for those served at the Cathedral Kitchen.\nTaylor Jentsch, 10, a member of the parish school\u2019s Good Shepherd Girl Scout troop, held up a placemat decorated with stickers and drawings.\n\u201cIt feels really good to help the ones that don\u2019t get as much food as I do,\u201d Jentsch said.\nFor a complete listing of events go to CamdenDiocese.org/Matthew25\nVITALity sponsors a Mass to celebrate aging\nBishop Galante to present St. Luke Awards at White Mass\nTransportation is a growing crisis for Catholic schools\nCharis Ministries Retreat on Nov. 2\nStratford school\u2019s success with Junior Achievement\nA deacon and former detective tells his stories\nSt. Patrick\u2019s Day Party to benefit medical mission",

On this day, Plan International, the charity partner of the VELUX EHF Champions League, will draw worldwide attention to the fact that girls often do not have the same chances as boys, and that they are often prevented from exercising their rights.\nOn International Day of the Girl Child, Plan International supports girls in standing up for their aims and rights, and encourages them to take over leading roles in politics and society.\nVELUX EHF Champions League glad to support campaign\nThe VELUX EHF Champions League and its participating clubs are glad to support this campaign. They will give girls the chance to symbolically open the games of the upcoming Round 5 by letting them bring the official match ball onto the playing court.\nAlso, the Plan International centre circle will turn pink for this round. Pink is a strong colour, which conveys power, joie de vivre and the courage to stand up for oneself. For girls, it is a signal demonstrating that they can live their dreams and achieve their goals.\nSince last season, the VELUX EHF Champions League has been committed to children\u2019s development organisation Plan International. The European top flight has supported projects involving a sponsored child in Brazil and has taken part in many additional activities.\nCommenting on the campaign, David Szlezak, Managing Director of EHF Marketing GmbH, said: \u201cWhen we welcomed Plan International to our family last year, we made a commitment to raise its profile among the fans of handball. Now, we are excited to see how our cooperation has developed and to see the fruits of it in this round of Europe\u2019s premier club competition. Also, we are very pleased to see the engagement of our clubs and their players for a good cause.\u201d\nManaging Director of Plan International Germany, Wolfgang Porschen, said: \u201cThe partnership with the VELUX EHF Champions League is a great support in our work with children, young people and their families all over the world.

I will only die the day Allah takes my breath,\u201d Shekau said, adding that his group was \u201crunning our\u2026 Islamic caliphate\u201d and administering strict sharia punishments.\nNigeria\u2019s military said last week that Shekau was dead and that a man who had been posing as the group\u2019s leader in the videos had been killed after fighting with troops in the far northeast.\nSecurity analysts and the United States questioned the credibility of the military\u2019s claim.\nThe new 36-minute video showed Shekau, in combat fatigues and black rubber boots, standing on the back of a pick-up truck and firing an anti-aircraft gun into the air.\nStanding in front of three camouflaged vans and flanked by four heavily armed, masked fighters, he then speaks for 16 minutes in Arabic and the Hausa language widely spoken in northern Nigeria.\nThe shows Shekau firing an anti-aircraft gun into the air from the back of a truck There was no indication of where or when the video was shot.\nThe heavily bearded Shekau, who appeared to be the same as those in previous clips, said the military\u2019s claim that he was dead was propaganda.\n\u201cNothing will kill me until my days are over\u2026 I\u2019m still alive.

We follow the Koran\u2026 We now practise the injunctions of the Koran in the land of Allah,\u201d he said.\nThe group also claimed to have shot down a Nigerian air force jet that went missing nearly three weeks ago.\nAn air force spokesman said the jet was missing.\n\u201cFor any group to claim they shot it down is mere propaganda and rubbish,\u201d Air Commodore Dele Alonge told AFP.",

Not surprising for anyone.\nBut how to navigate this context does seem foreign for most.\nI have many thoughts on this, but here I will issue one in hope of providing help for someone.\nFor now I will simply say this: put a face on the person.\nIt is so easy to talk about people that hold a different position than you do as some sort of \"category.\" But these are real human beings we are talking about. People who have a history that informs and shapes their views - just like you and me. These are people who are created in the image of God and loved deeply - regardless of belief or creed - and therefore have dignity and deserve respect.\nIt's funny. The people that tend to criticize others over an issue tend to be those who don't have a loving relationship with someone holding the view being criticized. This means there is no empathy. It means the practice of listening is almost impossible. With no relational contact the argument is at \u2026\n5 Of The Coolest Things You Can Buy On Amazon\nThe last post showed 5 of the weirdest things you can buy on Amazon. So I thought I would do a post with 5 of the coolest/interesting things I found you can buy. They are not necessarily the most practical things in the world, but worth checking out.\nA 3D food printer! Make a pancake in any shape you want. See it here.Ever had a Dip 'n Dot? This makes them...my girls would love this. See it here. Pour a bottle of wine...without removing the cork? Easy and keeps it fresh longer. See it here. Never drop something between your seat and console again. Super practical. See it here. Unicorn meat. Yeah, you read that correctly. Might be a gag gift? See it here.\n5 Of The Weirdest Things You Can Buy On Amazon\nI can't believe some of these things really exist...but they do! They are real and they are actually for sale. Incredible. If nothing else, check them out and if you want a real kick skim through the reviews and check out the \"Frequently Bought Together\" section...pretty funny. Enjoy.\nA life sized stick-on wall mural...of a woman using an inhaler (what?!). See it here.25 recipes...for cooking a placenta. What in the world?!! See it here.Did you know gummy bears have skeletons? Yeah, this 4D puzzle will teach you about it. Ha!Wanna buy a dozen Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches? Welp, here you go. See it here.Need a 6ft tall, 147 lb Bigfoot Yeti Statue for your garden? Well, now you can get it here.\nSpiritual Exercise We Should All Practice\nI rarely set an alarm, but I wake up early. On a typical weekday I am up between 4-5:00 am and it is my favorite time of day. It's the quiet and stillness that I love.\nBut it's what I start my time with that is so life giving.\nI sit in my chair and close my eyes and I verbally say, \"God, I acknowledge your presence right now.\" I then sit quietly. Sometimes I sit for 10 minutes, but other times I can for about an hour or even more. It's a way I enjoy the noise of my silence. I say it that way because after engaging in the this practice for a while there are a lot of things that can occur in this time of stillness. I may elaborate on this in another post.\nFor now, I'd like to offer some thoughts on this exercise for those who have never tried it:\nThis is about embracing good theology. Scripture says we are a temple of the Holy Spirit. So, we don't have invite God's presence. We just have to acknowledge it and live in light of that reality. This practice \u2026\n4 Practical Thoughts On Being Efficient\nI'm convinced we don't really understand how much time we waste.\nEveryone tracks their money (at least they should), but very few track their time. We reconcile our bank account on a regular basis, but few reconcile their calendars to assure they made the best use of their time.\nIt's interesting. Money comes and goes, but if you lose your time you can't get it back. This is partly why I recently challenged my staff to be more efficient. It's something hard to address because most people don't see themselves as being inefficient. That said, I think all of us can be encouraged in this way.\nIt is not infrequent for someone to ask me something like, \"How do you manage to do so many things?\" I'm always growing in this area of my life, but trying to be efficient is one thing I have put a lot of thought into.\nCutting out distraction is the first step. So, these may or may not be helpful thoughts for you, but here are four daily things that tend to limit\u2026\nMiddle School Terminology\nWe can say it a number of ways, but trying to describe the middle school ministry can be tricky. Most of us say things like:\nMiddle school ministryMiddle school studentsMiddle schooler'sMiddle school kids But I'm beginning to think our terminology can make a difference. My oldest daughter is wrapping up her 5th grade year, the last of elementary school where we live. She has grown up a lot the past few years and it is exciting to see. But I don't feel comfortable referring to her as a middle school kid - although \"kid\" is not inappropriate at this stage of life. That said, how we refer to my daughter and her friends can make a difference. I have begun to say things like: People like my daughter, who are in middle schoolPeople who are in middle school Notice the difference? It's not that we deny them being people in the first phrases above, but I have seen dignity extended and received a bit differently when I refer to my daughter and her friends this way. Time \u2026\nWell, as most of you know we have an international strategy for our church. At Colossae we are focused on 4 cities and specifically focused on church planting in these cities. This is why I am in Amsterdam.\nBefore I get more into that, a little fun cultural insight for Amsterdam...\nThis is true for Europe in many cases as well, but words don't mean the same thing here. For instance, Even though I'm here I still have had a bunch of work to do for our ministry at home, so my plan has been to go to different coffee shops during my time here and work from those places. However, \"coffee shops\" here are not the same as home. Here, they happen to be where you can purchase hash, marijuana and alcohol. In fact, most sell coffee but some don't.\nSo, the question is: why do they call them \"coffee shops\"?\nI'm not sure exactly but here is my only conclusion because nobody here seems to know: Coffee is a drug. In our culture we don't think of it that way, but \u2026",

        "title": "Church Coffee: Mark Driscoll, \"Citation Errors,\" and Public Discourse",
        "raw_content": "Mark Driscoll, \"Citation Errors,\" and Public Discourse\nIf you live in the world of social media at all, you are probably aware that about three weeks ago Mark Driscoll was accused of plagiarism. Andy Crouch has written an article in Christianity today called \u201cThe Real Problem with Mark Driscoll\u2019s \u2018Citation Errors\u2019 (And It Isn\u2019t Plagiarism).\u201d Apparently, he feels the real problem is ghostwriting.\nNo, sorry. It\u2019s plagiarism. At least, that\u2019s one real problem. When a work is ghostwritten, a person agrees to write in the voice of another and allow his or her work to be used without attribution. Plagiarism is exactly the opposite. It is the use of another\u2019s work without permission or attribution.\nThe other real problem, however, is that Driscoll is an outspoken cultural critic and teacher of a particular brand of morality that he styles as Christian. (See for example, this article in the New York Times, \"Who Would Jesus Smack Down?\".) This is why people are so angry. He points fingers. He acts as God\u2019s ethical spokesperson, and the image of God he represents is particularly rigid. His rhetoric sounds mean-spirited at times. Many faithful Christians find Driscoll\u2019s ideas, especially around gender roles, deeply troubling. This persona creates a large target in public discourse.\nIt\u2019s one thing to teach Christian morality. It\u2019s another to speak and act with such little charity. The furor around Driscoll\u2019s \u201ccitation errors\u201d may be a tempest in a teapot, but it is a tempest born of the unkindness of his rhetoric.\nAndrew C. Thompson December 14, 2013 at 6:01 PM\nI've been fascinated by this story as it has made its way around the Internet (as well as the follow-ups to it). I think one of the most troubling things about Driscoll can be seen from the standpoint of the virtue perspective: namely, that it is not just about what one says, but also about how one says it. And it is not just about what one does, but about the motivations for why one does it.\nNow, I have a problem with a lot of that actual content of what Driscoll preachers---significant elements of his overall Reformed framework, as well as a lot of the specific tendencies of his biblical interpretation. (And I have listened to a lot of his preaching; I went through a phase when I was so fascinated that I downloaded his podcast regularly and listened to his sermons.) Even if I didn't have a problem with the content, though, I would hope that I would evaluate the character that seems to come through so clearly in the way he says what he says---his charity, generosity of spirit, peaceableness, etc.\nAll that said, I agree with you and against Crouch. Plagiarism is a much bigger problem than ghostwriting.\nAs I read back over my comments, I realized that I should have reviewed them before I hit 'enter.'\nWhen I wrote about the character that comes through in one's speaking or preaching and mentioned charity, generosity of spirit, etc., what I meant to suggest is that I don't tend to see a lot of that in Driscoll and the lack of it makes me call into question the substance of his message (apart from the particularities of that message, which as I said, I also have disagreements with).\nSuch evaluations of character, of course, ought to apply equally to all of us. So my own teaching and preaching might draw criticism from students or church members who are subjected to my own interpretation of the gospel, or church history, or whatever, based on what they see in me and quite apart from a different (but also valid) evaluation of the content of what I am actually saying. Perhaps an ongoing reason for those of us who presume to teach the faith to repent and humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord.\nDavid F. Watson December 15, 2013 at 12:31 AM\nGreat comments, Andrew. Thanks for weighing in on this. I think we all need to be careful about how we carry out our discourse. We're certainly in agreement that while what we say is important, how we say it is also important.",

On Saturday September 27th, the main event will take place at The DoubleTree by Hilton on the Westside where several rooms will be devoted to panel discussions about the making of the original show and the upcoming Warner Bros feature film, a display of original props (the U.N.C.L.E. weapons, wardrobe and special car created for the series) and an U.N.C.L.E. cast and crew discussion about the making of the show leading up to a soiree Saturday night. Although the event will end Saturday evening, on Sunday there will be an opportunity for attendees to visit outlying filming sites on their own.\n\u201cIt is not uncommon to hear fans, many of whom are leaders in their chosen professions, remark that this show changed their lives,\u201d says Short, an Academy Award-winning visual effects artist.\nSays Heitland, the author of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

        "raw_content": "Blumen, Caasi \u2013 2 businesses in a single store on Broadway\nAs Orangeville becomes more well-known for its unique shopping experience, it\u2019s no surprise that more interesting, niche-style stores are popping up in the downtown core.\nWith the variety of interests in things like arts, home decor, gardening, and more, Broadway is the perfect location for many of these hobbyists to shop.\nIn June, a new store unlike any other in Orangeville opened up, designed to meet gardening, antique and floral needs in the town. The store consists of two separate businesses \u2013 Blumen, a home and garden shop offering hand-crafted and vintage selections for indoors and outdoors, and Caasi Floral Design, a specialty shop which provides custom-designed fresh and silk flowers for all occasions, including weddings.\n\u201cSue, Susan and I had spoken a few years back about the idea of opening a business together,\u201d said Michele Edwards, owner of Caasi Floral Design. \u201cIt was a dream of ours. We had been looking at properties and trying to find the right spot. We shared the same vision, and when we saw this place in February, we knew it was right for us. It\u2019s been a wonderful ride so far.\u201d\nSusan Feindell and Sue Edwards, the co-owners of Blumen, have been involved in the gardening market for a long time, and the shop has become an extension of sorts of their main business, which focuses on garden installation, design and maintenance.\n\u201cWe really felt this was just a natural extension to that business,\u201d explained Sue.\nSusan added that one of the benefits to having both businesses in the same realm is that it provides them with the opportunity to be able to work at both.\n\u201cWe can focus our work on Blumen on rainy days or during the winter,\u201d she said. \u201cThe store is really an expression of how we decorate our own homes.\u201d\nFor anyone who has a hobby in gardening, home decor, antiques or floral design, the store on Broadway is like walking into a dream. Bright colours, chalky colours, antique equipment, and all sorts of delightful items meet a rustic charm in the old building, with painted brick walls and a welcoming atmosphere.\nEverything in the store is garden and floral-inspired, and in the coming year they hope to expand the gardening aspect by introducing bulbs in the fall and by next spring bringing in more small garden tools that people can use.\nSue says the shop \u201cgives greater access to our garden clients, with more inventory, but it also gives us the opportunity to reach out to a newer and possibly different client base here. Creating this business together just had a natural synergy. It was serendipitous, and it really was the perfect timing. Everything just came together smoothly.\u201d\nSince opening in June, Blumen and Caasi Floral Design have seen a great response from the community, and a lot of positive feedback.\n\u201cEveryone has been so welcoming to us,\u201d said Michele. \u201cThey love the feel of the place, and the atmosphere we have created.\u201d\nSusan added that 95 percent of the people who have come through the doors have used \u201clovely\u201d to describe what they have built together.\nSo far, most of the customers and people through their doors that they have encountered have said they like having a flower and garden shop on Broadway. It\u2019s easy to access, and provides a very different experience from the different floral and garden shops around Orangeville.\nAnd that\u2019s exactly what the three ladies hoped for.\n\u201cWe aren\u2019t looking to be in competition with other flower shops or garden centres locally,\u201d explained Sue. \u201cWhat we want is to offer something a little different, something a little more unique that doesn\u2019t exist here currently.\u201d\nIf there\u2019s one aspect of their work together that they feel will help this venture be a success, it\u2019s that they are completely passionate about everything they do at the shop, and spending a couple of minutes with them makes that abundantly clear.\nFor more information on Blumen/Caasi Floral Design check out the store at 151a Broadway, or contact them by phone at 519-940-4844.",

        "title": "An eminent historian discusses anti-Semitism - The Classical Music Guide Forums",
        "raw_content": "An eminent historian discusses anti-Semitism\nPost by pizza \u00bb Sun Jul 31, 2005 10:43 am\nThe Anti-Semitic Disease\nThe intensification of anti-Semitism in the Arab world over the last years and its reappearance in parts of Europe have occasioned a number of thoughtful reflections on the nature and consequences of this phenomenon, but also some misleading analyses based on doubtful premises. It is widely assumed, for example, that anti-Semitism is a form of racism or ethnic xenophobia. This is a legacy of the post-World War II period, when revelations about the horrifying scope of Hitler\u2019s \u201cfinal solution\u201d caused widespread revulsion against all manifestations of group hatred. Since then, racism, in whatever guise it appears, has been identified as the evil to be fought.\nBut if anti-Semitism is a variety of racism, it is a most peculiar variety, with many unique characteristics. In my view as a historian, it is so peculiar that it deserves to be placed in a quite different category. I would call it an intellectual disease, a disease of the mind, extremely infectious and massively destructive. It is a disease to which both human individuals and entire human societies are prone.\nGeneticists and experts in related fields may object that my observation is not scientifically valid. My rejoinder is simple: how can one make scientific judgments in this area? Scientists cannot even agree on how to define race itself, or whether the category exists in any meaningful sense. The immense advances in genetics over the last half-century, far from simplifying the problem, have made it appear more complex and mysterious.1 All that scientists appear able to do is to present the evidence, often conflicting, of studies they have undertaken. And this, essentially, is what a historian does as well. He shows how human beings have behaved, over long periods and in many different places, when confronted with the apparent fact of marked racial differences.\nThe historical evidence suggests that racism, in varying degrees, is ubiquitous in human societies, so much so that it might even be termed natural and inevitable (though not irremediable: its behavioral consequences can be mitigated by education, political arrangements, and intermarriage). It often takes the form of national hostility, especially when two countries are placed by geography in postures of antagonism. Such has been the case with France and England, Poland and Russia, and Germany and Denmark, to give only three obvious examples.\nThe degree of this hostility can increase or diminish as a result of historical change. Thus, the Scots and the French were natural allies and on very friendly terms when they had a common enemy in the English; but after the union of Scotland with England, the Scots absorbed the broad anti-Gallicism of the British nation. Similarly, the creation of the European Union has diminished cross-border nationalist hatred in some cases (especially between France and Germany) while increasing it in a few others (Germany and Denmark).\nBy contrast, anti-Semitism is very ancient, has never been associated with frontiers, and, although it has had its ups and downs, seems impervious to change. The Jews (or Hebrews) were \u201cstrangers and sojourners,\u201d as the book of Genesis puts it, from very early times, and certainly by the end of the 2nd millennium B.C.E. Long before the great diaspora that followed the conflicts of Judea with Rome, they had settled in many parts of the Mediterranean area and Middle East while maintaining their separate religion and social identity; the first recorded instances of anti-Semitism date from the 3rd century B.C.E., in Alexandria. Subsequent historical shifts have not ended anti-Semitism but merely superimposed additional archaeological layers, as it were. To the anti-Semitism of antiquity was added the Christian layer and then, from the time of the Enlightenment on, the secularist layer, which culminated in Soviet anti-Semitism and the Nazi atrocities of the first half of the 20th century. Now we have the Arab-Muslim layer, dating roughly from the 1920\u2019s but becoming more intense with each decade since.\nWhat strikes the historian surveying anti-Semitism worldwide over more than two millennia is its fundamental irrationality. It seems to make no sense, any more than malaria or meningitis makes sense. In the whole of history, it is hard to point to a single occasion when a wave of anti-Semitism was provoked by a real Jewish threat (as opposed to an imaginary one). In Japan, anti-Semitism was and remains common even though there has never been a Jewish community there of any size.\nAsked to explain why they hate Jews, anti-Semites contradict themselves. Jews are always showing off; they are hermetic and secretive. They will not assimilate; they assimilate only too well. They are too religious; they are too materialistic, and a threat to religion. They are uncultured; they have too much culture. They avoid manual work; they work too hard. They are miserly; they are ostentatious spenders. They are inveterate capitalists; they are born Communists. And so on. In all its myriad manifestations, the language of anti-Semitism through the ages is a dictionary of non-sequiturs and antonyms, a thesaurus of illogic and inconsistency.\nLike many physical diseases, anti-Semitism is highly infectious, and can become endemic in certain localities and societies. Though a disease of the mind, it is by no means confined to weak, feeble, or commonplace intellects; as history sadly records, its carriers have included men and women of otherwise powerful and subtle thoughts. Like all mental diseases, it is damaging to reason, and sometimes fatal.\nIrrational thinking is common enough in each of us; when anti-Semitism is added in, irrational thinking becomes not only instinctual but systemic. An experienced anti-Semite constantly looks for \u201cevidence\u201d to confirm his id\u00e9e fixe, and invariably finds it\u2014just as a Marxist, looking for \u201cproof,\u201d constantly uncovers events that confirm his diagnosis of how the world works. (Not surprisingly, anti-Semitic theory as evolved by the young Hegelians played a major role in the evolution of Marx\u2019s methods of analysis.)\nAnti-Semitism is self-inflicted, which means that, by an act of will and reason, the infection can be repelled. But this is not easy to do, especially in societies where anti-Semitism has become common or the norm. What is in any case clear is that anti-Semitism, besides being self-inflicted, is also self-destructive, and of societies and governments as much as of individuals.\nAn important instance of this historical law is the expulsion of the Jews (along with the Moors) from Spain in the 1490\u2019s, and the subsequent witchhunt of New Christians, or converted Jews, by the Inquisition\u2014a process that took place at precisely the moment when Spain\u2019s penetration of the New World had opened up unprecedented opportunities for economic expansion. The effect of official anti-Semitism was to deprive Spain (and its colonies) of a class already notable for the astute handling of finance. As a consequence, the project of enlarging the New World\u2019s silver mines and importing huge amounts of silver into Spain, far from leading to rational investment in a proto-industrial revolution or to the creation of modern financial services, had a profoundly deleterious impact, plunging the hitherto vigorous Spanish economy into inflation and long-term decline, and the government into repeated bankruptcy.\nThe beneficiaries of Spanish anti-Semitism, in the near term, were the northern (Protestant) areas of the Netherlands, where an influx of Jewish refugees settling in Amsterdam and Rotterdam led to the accelerated development of the mercantile and financial sectors and the establishment for a time of Dutch global economic supremacy. In the longer term, the beneficiaries were England and the United States of America. England ceased to practice institutional anti-Semitism in the mid-17th century, when Jews, who had been expelled from the country in 1290, were permitted to re-settle there (and practice their religion) without the need for special privileges. This pattern was repeated in the English colonies in America, so that the new republic became, ab initio, an area where anti-Semitism never had any force in law.\nBy the end of the 18th century, the world\u2019s first industrial revolution was an accomplished fact in Britain, and by the end of the 19th century the United States had emerged as the world\u2019s leading industrial and financial power, which it remains to this day. Theorists of comparative economic efficiency, like Max Weber and R.H. Tawney, used to point to the role of Protestantism (especially Calvinist \u201csalvation panic\u201d) in the development of \u201cAnglo-Saxon\u201d industrial supremacy. The trend now is to stress the role of immigration, with Jews playing a significant role.\nIn the evolution of modern Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, anti-Semitism once again proved self-destructive. The occupation of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 led to a significant exodus of local Jews to Paris and the rapid growth of anti-Semitism in a country already long harboring the disease. One consequence was the Dreyfus affair\u2014the Dreyfuses were an Alsatian family\u2014which convulsed France for the better part of two decades.\nThe ensuing cultural civil war weakened France in a number of ways, not least militarily, and in the early years of the 20th century helped to persuade the Germans that France would prove an easy target, as indeed it was in 1914. A longer-term effect of the Dreyfus affair was felt in the French collapse and capitulation to the Nazis in 1940, as well as in the character of the subsequent Vichy regime.\nAnother outstanding case was Czarist Russia. Under Catherine II, the early elements in what was to become a complex system of anti-Semitic laws were introduced in the late 18th century after the partition of Poland, which gave Russia a large Jewish minority for the first time. Thereafter, prohibitions and restrictions were constantly enlarged and made more stringent, and were reinforced by official encouragement of \u201cpopular\u201d pogroms. The result was a large-scale migration of Jews to the West, particularly to Britain and the United States\u2014again to the economic and cultural benefit of the Anglo-Saxon powers. Russia was correspondingly weakened, not only by the loss of talent but also by the immense increase in administrative corruption produced by the system of restrictions.\nThe country was damaged in another way, too. The legal enforcement of Russian anti-Semitism became a model for the subsequent Soviet system of internal control, which can be understood as an extension to the population as a whole of laws that once oppressed Jews only. The aftereffects, including rampant corruption, are still to be felt at all levels of Russian society today.\nBut the most notable \u201cvictim\u201d of anti-Semitism was Germany under Hitler. Among historians, it is still considered morally essential to demonize Hitler and to condemn unreservedly everything he and the Nazis did. But there are compelling reasons, quite apart from the interests of objective scholarship, why this should end. Hitler was not a demon but a human being, just as were Attila and Barbarossa, Luther and Wallenstein, Frederick the Great and Bismarck.\nThough from a humble background and poorly educated, Hitler possessed a fierce intelligence, a strong artistic imagination, and great powers of articulation. His career as a soldier in World War I testified to his courage, and everything he caused to happen afterward showed a strength of will rare at any time. To this he added formidable organizational powers, the capacity to inspire loyalty, strategic clarity balanced by tactical flexibility, and oratory of a high order, spiced with a valuable talent for making people laugh. His creation, virtually from scratch, of a nationwide mass political party that he drove forward to electoral victory in what was then perhaps the best-educated country in the world, all in little over a decade, has few parallels in the history of politics.\nAll this bears witness to Hitler\u2019s abilities. As for his criminal defects and deformations, we are rightly aware of them: his inveterate thuggishness and brutality, his narrow chauvinism, his seemingly unappeasable lust for conquest and domination. And, above all, his anti-Semitism, which, while exacting its toll in millions of innocent human lives, in the end proved fatal to his own world-conquering ambitions.\nIt is not clear from the record exactly how, why, and when Hitler became a strident anti-Semite. What is clear is that by the early 1920\u2019s, he was already a violent hater of Jews. As time went on, his anti-Semitism grew until it took entire possession of his intellect and became the dominant factor in all his strategies and decisions.\nIt is often assumed that Hitler\u2019s anti-Semitism helped pave his way to office. I have never seen any convincing attempt to prove this with detailed, statistical arguments. In Austria and parts of southern Germany, anti-Semitism was indeed widespread. But in central and northern Germany, Jews were well assimilated and performed obvious services; there, anti-Semitism had to be incited. My own belief, considering Germany as a whole, is that Hitler\u2019s anti-Semitism, along with the street-brawling to which it led, was rather an obstacle to electoral victory. It repelled more voters than it attracted, and diverted attention from the four policies that undoubtedly put him in a position to win large numbers of votes: his absolute opposition to the terms of the Versailles treaty; his radical call for an end to the Weimar economic system, which had promoted hyperinflation and so stripped the middle class of its savings; his equally radical proposals for ending mass unemployment; and, not least, his vehement hostility to Communism, which most Germans hated and feared.\nIf Hitler achieved power not because of but despite his anti-Semitism, once he was in power his unrelenting obsession with the Jews corroded his judgment at every turn. His increasingly violent persecution of Jews also alienated other nations whose publics might otherwise have been won over to at least some of his aggressive demands in foreign policy. So central was anti-Semitism to his view of the world that the repugnance of others merely confirmed, for him, the existence of the very Jewish conspiracy against which he had warned for many years. It was this same conspiracy, he threatened, that would be to blame for any war that might break out, and this war would in turn provide both occasion and justification for implementing his \u201cfinal solution\u201d to the \u201cJewish problem.\u201d\nAnti-Semitism thus led Hitler to fight a needless war against Britain and France and then, military dominance having been effectively achieved in mainland Europe, to extend the war in such a way that he could not possibly win it. He invaded the Soviet Union, his formerly compliant and quiescent ally, thereby giving Germany a war on two fronts\u2014precisely the configuration he once argued had been fatal to Germany\u2019s chances in World War I. Then, when Japan attacked the United States in December 1941, he made the totally irrational decision to declare war on America. Both these acts of madness bore the marks of a collapse of judgment brought on by the intellectual disease of anti-Semitism, the first of them pursued in order to extend the \u201cfinal solution\u201d eastward and the second out of the lunatic notion that the rulers of the United States were themselves a key component of the Jewish world conspiracy. At the beginning of 1941 Hitler had been in a position of enormous global power; at the end of it, his country\u2019s eventual defeat and his own annihilation were certain.\nAs an example of the self-destructive force of anti-Semitism, the case of Hitler and Nazi Germany is paralleled only by what has happened to the Arabs over the course of the last century.\nThe year 1917 saw both the issuance in London of the Balfour Declaration, authorizing the creation of a Jewish \u201cnational home\u201d in Palestine, and the wartime British occupation of Jerusalem, followed thereafter by an international mandate to govern the country. In the Balfour Declaration the British pledged to use \u201ctheir best endeavors\u201d to further the national-home project, but \u201cwithout prejudice to the rights of the existing inhabitants.\u201d At this stage, many Zionists themselves did not necessarily envisage a sovereign Jewish state emerging in Palestine. Thus, Chaim Weizmann, the prime mover behind the Declaration, imagined that Jewish immigrants, whose ranks included a growing number of scientific and agricultural experts as well as many entrepreneurs, would play a key role in enabling the Arabs of the Middle East to make the most effective use of their newly developing oil wealth.\nHad Jewish-Arab cooperation been possible from the start, and had money from oil been creatively invested in education, technology, industry, and social services, the Middle East would now be by far the richest portion of the earth\u2019s surface. This has been one of history\u2019s greatest lost opportunities, comparable, on a much greater scale, to Spain\u2019s mismanagement of its silver wealth in the 16th century. Anti-Semitism, helped by an ingenious forgery, was the key to the disaster.\nIn the 1890\u2019s, the Czarist secret police, anxious to \u201cprove\u201d the reality of the Jewish threat to Russia, had asked its agent in Paris (then, with Vienna, the world center of anti-Semitism) to provide corroborating materials. He took a pamphlet written by Maurice Joly in 1864 that accused Napoleon III of ambitions to dominate the world; re-wrote it, substituting the Jews for Napoleon and dressing up the tale with traditional anti-Semitic details; and titled it The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It resurfaced in Russia after the 1917 coup by the Bolsheviks, who were widely believed by their White Russian opponents to be Jewish-led, and thence made its way to the Middle East. When Weizmann arrived in Jerusalem in 1918, he was handed a typewritten copy by the British commander, General Sir Wyndham Deedes, who said: \u201cYou had better read all this with care. It is going to cause you a great deal of trouble in the future.\u201d\nIn 1921, after a full investigation, the London Times published a series of articles exposing the origins of the tract and demonstrating beyond all possible doubt that it was a complete invention. But by then the damage that Deedes had warned about was done. Among those who read, and believed, the forgery was Adolf Hitler. Another was Muhammad Amin al-Husseini, head of the biggest landowning family in Palestine. Al-Husseini was already tinged with hatred of Jews, but the Protocols gave him a purpose in life: to expel all Jews from Palestine forever. He had innocent blue eyes and a quiet, almost cringing manner, but was a dedicated killer who devoted his entire life to race-murder. In 1920 he was sentenced by the British to ten years\u2019 hard labor for provoking bloody anti-Jewish riots. But in the following year, in a reversal of policy for which I have never found a satisfactory explanation, the British appointed a supreme Muslim religious council in Palestine and in effect made al-Husseini its director.\nThe mufti, as he was called, thereafter created Arab anti-Semitism in its modern form. He appointed a terrorist leader, Emile Ghori, to kill Jewish settlers whenever possible, and also any Arabs who worked with Jews. The latter made up by far the greater number of the mufti\u2019s victims. This pattern of murdering Arab moderates has continued ever since, and not just among Palestinians; we see it in Iraq today.\nWhen Hitler came to power in 1933, the mufti rapidly established links with the Nazi regime and later toured occupied Europe under its auspices. He naturally gravitated to Heinrich Himmler, the official in charge of the Nazi genocide, who shared his extreme and violent anti-Semitism; a photo shows the two men smiling sweetly at each other. From the Nazis the mufti learned much about mass murder and terrorism. But he also drew from the history of Islamic extremism: it was he who first recruited Wahhabi fanatics from Saudi Arabia and transformed them into killers of Jews\u2014another tradition that continues to this day.\nOver the last half-century, anti-Semitism has been the essential ideology of the Arab world; its practical objective has been the destruction of Israel and the extermination of its inhabitants. And this huge and baneful force, this disease of the mind, has once again had its customary consequence. Just as Hitler ended his life a suicide, having failed in his mission of destroying the Jewish people, so 100 million or more Arabs, marching under the banner of anti-Semitism, have totally failed, despite four full-scale wars and waves of terrorism and intifadas without number, to extinguish tiny Israel.\nIn the meantime, by allowing their diseased obsession to dominate all their aspirations, the Arabs have wasted trillions in oil royalties on weapons of war and propaganda\u2014and, at the margin, on ostentatious luxuries for a tiny minority. In their flight from reason, they have failed to modernize or civilize their societies, to introduce democracy, or to consolidate the rule of law. Despite all their advantages, they are now being overtaken decisively by the Indians and the Chinese, who have few natural resources but are inspired by reason, not hatred.\nYet still the Arabs feed off the ravages of the disease, imbibing and spreading its poison. Even as they keep alive the Protocols itself, now published in tens of millions of copies in major Arab capitals, they have embellished its lurid fantasies with their own, homegrown mythologies of Jewish wickedness. Recently the Protocols was made into a 41-part TV series, filmed in Cairo and disseminated throughout the Muslim world. Turkey, once a bastion of moderation, with a thriving economy, is now a theater of anti-Semitism, where hatred of Israel breeds varieties of Islamic extremism. At a time when at long last there is real hope of democracy taking root in the Arab and Muslim world, the paralysis continues and indeed is spreading.\nIn Europe, too, anti-Semitism has returned after being supposedly banished forever in the late 1940\u2019s. Fueled by large and growing Muslim minorities, whose mosques and websites propagate hatred of Jews, it has also been nourished by indigenous elements, both intellectual and political. It has even penetrated mainstream parties anxious to garner Muslim votes\u2014New Labor in Britain being a disturbing example.\nNo less worrying, to my mind, is a related European phenomenon\u2014namely, anti-Americanism. I say \u201crelated\u201d because anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism have proceeded hand in hand in today\u2019s Europe just as they once did in Hitler\u2019s mind (as the unpublished second half of Mein Kampf decisively shows). Like hatred of Jews, hatred of Americans can similarly be described as a form of racism or xenophobia, especially in its more vulgar manifestations. But among academics and intellectuals, where it is increasingly prevalent, it has more of the hallmarks of a mental disease, becoming more virulent, widespread, and intractable ever since the United States began to shoulder the duties of the war against international terrorism.\nAfter all, to hate Americans is against reason. For centuries, and never more so than at present, the U.S. has harbored the poor and persecuted from the entire world, who have found freedom and prospered on its soil. America continues to receive more immigrants than any other country; its most recent arrivals, including the Cubans, the Koreans, the Vietnamese, and the Lebanese, have become some of the richest groups in the country and are enthusiastic supporters of its democratic norms. Indeed, since American society is now a vibrant microcosm of the human race, I would say that to hate Americans is to hate humanity as a whole.\nThat anti-Americanism shares many structural characteristics with anti-Semitism is plain enough. In France, as we read in a new study, intellectuals muster as many contradictory reasons for attacking the U.S. as for attacking Jews.2 Americans are excessively religious; they are excessively materialistic. They are vulgar money-grubbers; they are vulgar spenders. They hate culture; they are pushy in promoting their own culture. They are aggressive and reckless; they are cowardly. They are stupid; they are exceptionally cunning. They are uneducated; they subordinate everything in life to the goal of sending their children to universities. They build soulless megalopolises; they are rural imbeciles. As with anti-Semitism, this litany of contradictory complaints is fleshed out with demonic caricatures of particular individuals like George W. Bush. Just as 14th-century Christians once held the Jews responsible for the Black Death, Americans are blamed for all the ills of today\u2019s world, starting with (real or imaginary) global warming. Particularly among French intellectuals, such demonization has become almost a culture, a way of life, in itself.\nEspecially disturbing is the spread of the cult in Germany. There, in the 1920\u2019s, anti-Semitism was a feature of the social demoralization produced by defeat in World War I. Germany is now becoming demoralized again, for a variety of reasons: appallingly high unemployment; falling living standards relative to the U.S., Britain, and other advanced nations; declining population figures, giving rise to anxiety about the future of the workforce and the security of the pension system; and the inability of the country\u2019s leaders to address any of these problems.\nIn the post-World War II period, ironically, Germany prospered mightily by looking to the U.S. for entrepreneurial inspiration as well as political and military leadership. For the past quarter-century, it has fallen increasingly under the spell of France and the French fantasy of a European superstate that will rival America. Precisely during this period of French hegemony, Germany has entered upon an accelerating economic decline, already relative and soon to be absolute.\nFor Germany now to turn on America as the source of its woes makes no sense at all. But then a country in the grip of a disease of the mind cannot be expected to behave rationally. Despite all its efforts, Germany, it seems to me, has not learned the essential lesson of its Nazi past, namely, to flee the plague of unreason. Looking at Europe as a whole, and at the continuing malaise of the Middle East, I suspect we are approaching a new crisis in the pathology of nations. Once again, America is the only physician with the power and skill to provide a cure, and one can only pray the hour is not too late for the patient to be revived.\nPaul Johnson is the author of Modern Times, A History of Christianity, and A History of the Jews, among many other books.\n1 This is vividly brought home in one recent study, Race: The Reality of Human Differences, by Vincent Sarich and Frank Miele (Westview, 320 pp., $27.50). The book was dismissively reviewed in the (London) Times Literary Supplement (February 25, 2005) by Jerry Coyne, a professor in the department of ecology and evolution at the University of Chicago.\n2 The American Enemy: the History of French Anti-Americanism by Phillipe Roger, University of Chicago Press, 536 pp., $35.00.\nhttp://www.commentarymagazine.com/artic ... 11906035_1\nPost by Corlyss_D \u00bb Sun Jul 31, 2005 12:50 pm\nDidn't we do this one in April or May?

        "raw_content": "Why America's NSA and Britain's GCHQ Spooks Had Gareth Williams Assassinated\nNo American agency has been more protective of its very existence, much less what it does, than the National Security Agency (NSA). The direct descendant of the US Army's Black Chamber, its code-breaking outfit, that had secretly decoded 10,000 messages by foreign governments in the decade after WWI, William Frederick Friedman had revived it as the Signal Intelligence Service in the Munitions Building in Washington's center in June 1930. It remained almost paranoid about itself until its official existence was finally admitted during the depths of the Watergate scandal. As the war in Europe was coming to an end, TICOM, short for Target Intelligence Committee, was created by General Eisenhower to find and recover as many German codemakers, and as much code-making machinery as possible to strengthen now the Army Security Agency's ability to meet the growing Soviet challenge. While it was combined with the Navy and Air Force codebreaking outfits into the Armed Forces Security Agency a year before the Korean War, it failed to prepare US and South Korean forces for the surprise attack, leading President Truman to replace the cumbersome agency by the highly secret NSA after he left the voting booth on November 4, 1952 which resulted in Ike becoming President.\nNSA's first major responsibility was continuing the Shamrock project, the illegal taking of all communications, especially highly-secret, official ones, which passed through America's telecommuications companies on a daily basis to anywhere in the world. It all recalled how the Black Chamber had been closed down by President Herbert Hoover in 1928, only to have it secretly revived behind Secretary of State Henry Stimson's back by Herbert Yardley, the Army's cryptanalytic head during WWI, two years later. Yardley got the telecommunication companies to go along with the project then by bribes, (2) this time Army Chief of Staff General Eisenhower supplied a letter of appreciation to the nervous Western Union, RCA and ITT, the basis of the code name, for services rendered \"This was the preferred method of communicationas for most of the foreign establishments in Washington and New York,\"(3) James Bamford explained. At its Vint Hill Farms Station in Warrenton, Virginia - what survived the closing down of the Army's Signal Security Agency's listening stations at the end of WWII - and others around the world, NSA eavesdropped on Soviet secret messages sent by high frequency radios which had been encrypted by its Fish machines\nBritain's similar establishment, the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), was the outgrowth of the famous Bletchley Park facility aka Government Code and Cypher School which was so successful in breaking codes, especially German ones, during WWII. It was much less concerned about continuing its existence or playing any catchup with anyone as its location in Buckinghamshire - only 47 miles from London, and equidistant from Oxford and Cambridge - guaranteed that it could recruit all the new mathematicians it needed. The lead that the Brits had over the Americans in this regard was well illustrated when GCHQ handed over all the STELLA POLARIS material aka BRIDE and then VENONA - what the Finns had collected from the Soviets, and had sold to the Swedes when they feared that it would fall back into the hands of Moscow - to ASA in 1946.(4) It was because of work on this material, first at Eastcote in West London and then from 1953 at headquarters in Cheltenham, that GCHQ was successful in finding out that Klaus Fuchs and others were indeed Soviet spies.\nDuring the Eisenhower years, NSA had some significant successes. In fact, ones so signiticant that it lost part of its organization, the sigint part collecting aerial information over the USSR because of the Gary Power's U-2 fiasco. Its RB-47 soupped-up spy plane in Project Homerun gave the Soviets fits by the intrusions of its vast airspace around the Arctic Circle to collect electronic and imagery information. \"Throughout the 1950s the ferrets,\" James Bamford wrote, \"like mosquitoes hunting for an exposed patach of skin, buzzed the long Soviet border. They were searching for holes in Russia's vast fence of air defense radar sites.\" (5) In the lead-up to the Suez crisis, GCHQ, whose responsibility under an agreement with Washington was to keep it informed of possible developments in Western Europe and the Middle East, withheld information about the French-Israeli-British plot to regain control of the canal from the USA which led to devastating blowback..\nThe fiasco not only led to a complete humiliation of the plotters when Washington refused to go along with it, but also a complete reorganization of NSA along geographic rather than functional lines. One can only suspect that NSA withheld some of its own information from project Shamrock from the President to make the most of the debacle when it occurred, especially when it claimed that it was in the process of moving its headquarters to Fort Meade, and had little military information about what the plotters were up to when it really was a question of the diplomatic moves in the countries' capitals which were so important in anticipating moves, and was being monitored from Vint Hill. As a NSA analysis later lamely admitted, \"1956 was a bad time for NSA to get involved in a crisis.\" (6) Instead of a single high-level cryptography department for its half of the world, NSA was given four deparments to handle cryptanalysis and traffic analysis for the communist world at various levels. In the reorganization, GCHQ was left out in the cold, especially since it was more concerned in determining who were Soviet spies, past and present, rather than what they were up to now.\nWhile America was essentially going it alone when it came to the collection of sigint intelligence, the disputes were essentially between the White House and NSA, especially about its U-2s. While almost everyone remembers the famous crash of Captain Gary Powers' U-2 on May Day 1960 in anticipation of the Paris Summit between Eisenhower and Khrushchev, few know that the President had ordered that no such provocation take place, and when it did, he took away its aerial reconnaissance capability, and gave it to a new, even more secret agency, the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). Even less is known about the crash, as NSA will not acknowledge the role of Soviet spies Bernon F.Mitchell and William H. Martin in the U-2's downing, acting at best as if it had nothing to do with the Powers' hoax (7) - the plane flaming out and crashing so that it and he essentially surivived at Ike's expense.\n\"The agency was then completing work on a super-fast, super-high-flying successor to the U-2, codenamed Oxcart,\" (8) Bamford explained yet elsewhere, so they both were expendable. Still, NSA was willing to see that Powers was exchanged in 1962 after he had only servied two of his ten-year sentence for leading Soviet spy Colonel Rudolf Abel, showing that his masters were really interested in his well-being for services rendered. For good measure, as the Missile Crisis in Cuba was heating up, NSA's Director Lawrence Frost was sacked because of the Mitchell-Martin defections, thought originally to be caused by ideology but later labelled homosexuality -and was replaced by Air Force Lieutenant General Gordon Blake who, according to Bamford, \"...who knew what he was getting into: he had earlier run NSA's air arm, the Air Force Security Service,\" (9) About the blacklisting of homosexuals in the services, Ike had the FBI draw up a list of all those suspected of being gay. \"According to documents obtained for Body of Secrets, \" Bamford concluded, \"the fear of homosexuals caused by the men's defections became pathological within the White House.\"(10)\nAllegedly, the cryptologists soon tired of the USSR, and wanted to return home, though they both married, and settled down to comfortable lives in the USSR. To belie the facts, Christopher Andrew doctored Mitrokhin's basic information to claim that the KGB fabricated a claim that the gullible spies had been sentenced by the US Supreme Court to twenty years' hard labor in absentia if they returned - when the Rosenbergs had been executed for doing far less - and that Director Yuri Andropov directed that they never be allowed to return when the fabrication, it seems, still didn't deter them from wanting to.(11) Mitchell died in St. Peterburg in 2001, and Martin died in Tijuana, Mexico in 1987 while undergoing treatment for cancer, belying Andrew's fabrication as Andropov had long since died, and soon the Soviet Union itself collapsed. Mitchell was able to return if he wanted but he never did because of the terrible risks of doing so. For good measure, Andrew added the KGB fabricated a story by Izvestia's Yuri Semyonov that the Americans were trying to poison them - what Mitchell allegedly believed to be untrue - and the Mitchells, at least, were prevented from returning to America, though their applications for visas were turned down by Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States!\nThis was all damage control by NSA as the showdown with the Soviets in Cuba was heating up, attempting to prevent any more defectors from joining Martin and Mitchell. The GRU, Soviet military intelligence, already had another spy from NSA in place, Air Force Staff Sargeant Jack E. Dunlop, and he was followed by Victor Norris Hamilton after Dunlop allegedly committed suicide in 1963 (12), though there is no information from Mitrokhin to confirm the claim. More likely, Dunlop simply retired since he had no more to provide. Then, in 1965, another walk-in joined the American defectors in Moscow, US Army clerk at Fort Meade Robert Lipka, who was responisble for shredding its material, and handed over to the KGB whatever he thought it fancied. When Lipka stopped spying in 1967, Chief Warrant Officer John Walker and his gang took over, supplying Moscow for eighteen years with detailed information about US Navy ciphers. In short, US intelligence, especially NSA, was leaking like a sieve, making its increasingly paranoid about the process, and the only people who knew almost nothing about it was the American public.\nThe separation of NRO from NSA had just made leaking and defections worse, as JFK was discovering during his last days when the NRO's Air Force cowboys faked the downing of Captain Joe Hyde Jr's U-2 over Cuba on November 20, 1963 - a repeat of what had happened for real to one piloted by Major Rudolf Anderson, just thirteen months earlier during the Cuban Missile Crisis - in the hope of kicking off a resumption of the confrontation. When Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff General Maxwell Taylor heard of the loss of Anderson and his U-2, he recommended an immediate response to the SAM site responsible. SoD McNamara replied that 500 sorties would be flown in preparation of an invasion which, thanks to JFK prudent management, never came. This time there was no invasion either, thanks to the surprise wounding of Governor John Connally, and his stating that he would get the people who really did it. In the process, Joe Hyde disappeared from the radar screen forever, apparently getting a new identity as Horace Smith, and remarrying his widow in Houston.(13)\nBritain then resumed its own witch hunt, thanks particularly to the assistance CIA's DDO Richard Helms supplied MI5 Assistant Director Peter Wright's Fluency project to help keep it occupied by looking for spies within the Establishment from VENONA rather than more current troubles. \"...Inexplicably, GCHQ had suspended its work on VENONA in 1954, apparently with MI5's consent on the grounds that the work was unproductive.\" (14) Graham Mitchell, the Director of D Branch, was responsible for the suspension, making him the prime suspect of the chief Soviet mole within the Security Service rather than Wright himself, and the mole-hunting didn't die until the Cold War did. Since 300 alleged spies remained to be identified in Britain and America at the end - and those allegedly identified had been tainted with a broad brush - it all seemd a vast waste of resources since the damage had essentially been done, and even its identifications could not be used to punish those few, important ones, awaiting punishment. Since the Americans had long given up on the process, their assistance to GCHC just seems to have been to keep it out of the way.\nThe precarious position of NSA, \"...an agency unrestrained by laws or legislative charter and led by a man obsessed with secrecy and power,\" (15) allegedly\ncollapsed after its Deputy Director Louis Tordella agreed to an Army request that it spy on domestic protesters of the Vietnam War aka MINARET in the fall of 1967 -which was granted its own charter soon after Nixon took office. When Nixon's White House tried to put the collection of watch lists on a national basis, thanks to the Houston Plan, Hoover's FBI refused to go along, and it was withdrawn a few days later. When Watergate got out of hand three years later, though, pr4esidential counsel John Dean used his knowledge of the Houston Plan as a bargaining chip to escape prosecution for what the Plumbers had done, especially the assassination of former Alabama Governor Geroge Wallace. Then it turned out that Tordella had been using the Bureau for break-ins at embassies to steal codes and ciphering machines in order to save NSA the trouble of breaking them themselves. Finally, the Senate's Church Committee learned of project Shamrock - the illegal copying of the tapes the telecommunication companies had of telegrams they had transmitted.\nOne consequence of the Church Committee's unprecedented report was the passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) which outlawed any repeat of project Shamrock, and the MINARET watch lists of Americans. In order for NSA to target an American citizen or a permanent, resident alien - a \"green card holder\" within the United States - it must obtain a secret warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), showing that the person is either an agent for a foreign government or involved in spying or terrorism. The act placed the same requirement on the FBI - the agency much more involved in such activity because of its national jurisdiction in law-enforcement. The investigator, it seems, largely responsible for the reforms, Britt Snider who later became the CIA's Inspector General, was quite satisfied with their results when he retired twenty-three years later in 2000.(15)\nIn understanding the apparent results, one must appreciate the stopping of the Vietnam War, and d\u00e9tente with the Soviet Union - what made watch lists of Americans much less important except when the Reagan White House was helping the Contras in their fight with the Sandinistas, and stopping Moscow spies rather than domestic dissidents when it came to finishing off the USSR. Also, it required getting Britain's GCHQ finally involved in the eavesdropping process. The Conservative government, headed by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, had been struck by a series of work stoppages just when the Cold War was heating up in Afghanistan with the Soviet invasion, and the depature of the Shah from Iran. While CIA was being increasingly shut out of the intelligence loop by an independence-seeking NSA, the Thatcher Ministry was being prevented from getting vital information about these two, adjoining hot spots, leaving Washington and London in a rather paranoid, angry condition. DCI Admiral Stansfield Turner complained that the sigint agency was withholding intelligence \"to make itself look good rather than to protect secrets.\" (16) London was in a choatic condition where quite often the whole government was getting no intelligence at all. The worry was that NSA would go its own way while London tried, apparently hopelessly, to ban unions at its intelligence facilities.\nIn the wake of regaining control of the Falklands, thanks to NSA's assistance in breaking Argentine codes, Britain made a serious effort to create its own eavesdropping system until 1987, project Zircon, but the costs and domestic opposition finally proved too much. The project was also hurt by the revelations about it by Duncan Campbell in the New Statesman, and Peter Wright putting his complaints about British intelligence in writing in Spycatcher. They showed Britain to be an incompetent, leaky partner in the Atlantic alliance, one which should let Washington lead the way. The value of the close link between NSA and GCHQ was demonstrated by General Odom's agency being able to produce a sigint intercept, linking Iranian hard-liner Ayatollah Montazeri to the bombing of the Pam Am flight over Lockerbie while GCHQ was unable to come up with any 'smoking gun' about who caused the tragedy.(17) The cost of this unequal partnership was that NSA could hide from GCHQ what it wanted to keep secret, and dispose of as it saw fit.\nThis was clearly demonstrated when the Reagan administration decided to end the Cold War by a pre-emptive non-nuclear strike against the USSR after it had been triggered by the assassination of Swedish troublemaker Olof Palme because of his interference with the whole Iran-Contra affair. Washington was confident that its operations were finally leak-proof because not only the spying by the John A. Walker, Jr. ring but also that of Jonathan Pollard and Ronald Pelton had been exposed and disposed of. The Walker group had been put out of business by his former wife who reported his spying to the Bureau.(18) Pollard was finally caught by Naval Intelligence after coworkers reported his suspicious handling of classified material. Pelton was caught after defector Vitali Yurchenko mentioned a spy who had made a call to the Embassy in Washington back in January 1980, but whose name and mission he never learned. \"The FBI began going through old recordings of Yurchenko's conversations that had been captured by wiretaps. Investigators found the call and played it back to some NSA employees. They recognized the voice.\" (19)\nThe trouble with these discoveries was that it encouraged the risk-takers to go for broke - what only caused other agents, especially the Agency's Aldrich 'Rick' Ames and the Bureau's Robert Hanssen, to take their place. NSA was at the core of the operation as it was the agency to coordinate what the Anglo-American-NATO forces were doing while it kept track of the Soviet response. Of course, the spying permitted Moscow to take the necessary countermeasures to contain the confrontation. Knowing that the Stockholm shooting would trigger it, and the set-up of apparent assassin Stig Bergling - what Moscow closed down by refusing to have anything to do with him - the Soviets prevented NSA from learning what Moscow was doing by shutting down its bug of the leadership's reactions, and operation EASTBOUND whose sensors were to determine if the Soviets were preparing their ICBMs for a nuclear response - what Alexander Litvinenko managed to discover with his railway inspection squad. In sum, the operation was a complete, though most dangerous, fiasco.(20)\nThe Agency and the Bureau were understandably most reluctant to determine its cause, though NSA was furious about the result, leading it to adopt more forceful solutions to apparent problems. As Independent Counsel in the Iran-Contra investigation Lawrence E. Walsh detailed in Firewall: The Iran-Contra Conspiracy and Cover-Up, NSA went to the most absurd lengths to prevent even the most perfunctory inquiry into the massive fiasco.\n\"The general counsel to the National Security Agency, Elizabeth Rindskopf, was tough. An attorney trained as an advocate for plaintiff's class actions, she seemed to us not easily deterred by facts, reason, or appeals to fairness. Her concern was not only the preservation of intelligence sources, but also the protection of her agency from embarrassment. She exaggerated claims of national security risk so grossly that I wondered whether she was bucking for a White House appointment. (After George Bush became president, Rindskopf was promoted to succeed Russell Bruemmer as general counsel of the CIA.)\"\nShe even tried to get Attonrey General Richard Thornburgh not to comply with Judge Gerhard Gesell's order, permitting Oliver North to introduce Robert McFarlane PROF note, wanting to purge all NSA's traffic files.\nAs the problems of the government, particularly NSA's, continued, it apparently started really purging troublemakers through its group 1-3 aka Pegasus, patterned after Britain's Group 13. There were just too many surprising deaths or unexplained murders for it not to have been behind some of these. For example, the murder of prime suspect in the Palme case - where things had started to go badly wrong - Viktor Gunnarsson after he emigrated to North Carolina, and a policeman, who had long pursued him, B\u00f6rje Vingren, had published a book, claiming Gunnarsson had done it. When the killing was so well hidden that it was unlikely that Gunnarsson's naked body would ever be found, the mother of his alleged girl friend, Catherine Miller, was gunned down to keep the set-up of former policeman L. C. Underwood alive - what ultimately resulted in his being convicted of both murders. It took over a decade in prison, and over $100.000 in fees for Underwood to get the convictions thrown out, and a new trial or his release after 180 days ordered this past January.\nThen, after Luther 'Jerry' Parks, the former head of Governor Clinton's security, so pursued Vince Foster of crimes relating to Mena's International Airport that he committed suicide, unknown parties made the site where his body was found look like a murder scene, and the following March Parks was gunned down by unknown assailants. The last thing the Clintons wanted was for people to think that Foster killed himself, and covert operators made it look like he might not have. Just the month before, Ames was finally exposed as a Soviet spy, and NSA made sure that he was imprisoned for life for the inconveniences caused.\nThere were others too, enough for posters to start sites, attributing it all and much more to President Clinton, and labelling it his Body Count. It was all reminiscent of the body count that Mark Lane put together in Rush to Judgment after the Dallas assassination to improve claims of it being a plot, just making it look most dubious.\nThe biggest unexplained assassination, apparently by NSA group 1-3, was the killing of former DCI William Colby in April 1996. Interesting that Bamford makes no mention of him in his books because he proved the biggest problem for the eavesdropping agency, as he was the one who exposed not only its illegal spying on Americans, especially MH-Chaos, but also the plots to get rid of Castro to the Church Committee - what led President Ford to fire him.(22) The Colby murder was not a simple act of vengeance, but the removal of a most influential critic if and when NSA decided again to eavesdrop on America whatever the legal situation. Bamford got around the problems by making out that NSA was responsible to the Defense Department when it really was officially under the control of CIA. Colby's death triggered as many false claims as that of the recent killing of GCHQ/MI6 agent Gareth Williams, and apparently for the same purpose - shutting up and getting back at\ntroublemakers.(23)\nFor good measure, NSA saw to the prosecution of Robert Lipka as a KGB spy after all those years of inactivity, thanks apparently to a tipoff from Mitrokhin. In May 1993, an FBI agent, posing as a GRU one, contacted Lipka, and tried to get him to renew his spying by a threat of exposure and a dangle of $10,000 which he accepted because he claimed it owed him much more because of his original spying. Once the trial of Ames had established that a spy could at least spend the rest of their lives in prison, Lipka was arrested in February 1996, and tried in May 1997, avoiding the same sentence only by agreeing to a plea bargain which resulted in him having to serve eighteen years in a federal prison, and pay back twice as much money than he had gotten from the Bureau. \"I thought I had put this to bed many years ago and I never dreamed it would turn out like this,\" (24) Lipka complained bitterly\nAnglo-American eavesdropping operations improved considerably after martinet NSA Director Kenneth Minihan ended his term in 1999, especially when the 9/11 attacks occurred. Minihan's first assignment, it seems, was to get rid of Colby. For the previous decade, NSA had seen its budgets cut steadily each year, resulting in fewer personnel doing more tasks for less, causing a quite demoralized work force, fighting over perquisites and promotions in a environment plagued by racial and sexual preferences. Minihan, while hoping to revive Shamrock, had gotten rid of a third of the employees, and his deputy director William Crowell who wanted to improve the way NSA attacked code problems and disseminated the results, fearing that it would just empower America's enemies. \"Nor did Minihan get along with the various senior directors in the agency - the deputy directors for operations, information security, and so on\".(25) And all over the world, listening posts were being closed down or replaced by automatic equipment. NSA was clearly on the short end when it came to getting funding.\nAt Cheltenham, a similar downsizing was occurring, the staff down to 5,100, a loss of 900 from 1995. Its listening posts around the world were disappearing too. \"Some at GCHQ feared that if its staff number dropped below 4,500, the agency would begin to seem minor in the eyes of NSA.\" (26) It began to look as if the new headquarters in Cheltenham, completed in 2003, would just be a collection center where code breakers, data gathers, and cryptologists skilled in various languages would put together reports, based upon the calls and messages intercepted, and send them on to Fort Meade and other countries in the Five Eyes pact - Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.\nTo counteract this centralizing process of eavesdropping in America, Britain continued to go out of its way to train people better suited to satisfy the needs it required, especially in mathematics and languages, and develop gizmos in the private sector which NSA would find attractive. Its need of highly qualified people in these fields is well illustrated by Appendix C of Body of Secrets, cryptologic occupations needed at NSA - linguistic and mathematical experts - what America is noted for being poor at providing. Bamford's listing looks like an employment brochure for NSA's mammoth Crypto City which always seens to be wanting qualitative literacy by its employees in these fields - like professionals who can solve cryptographic problems though the use of math, especially since there is such a demand for those who can in the private sector.\n1.

Thanks for the valuable information and insights you have so provided here. Keep it up!\"\nAnne frank essays | Anthropology essays | Antigone essays\nThank you, Shader Writing, for your appreciation, and the quotation from someone else.\nI just hope the latter isn't from German lecturer and translator Gudrun Loftus who was apparently murdered on early Tuesday morning in Oxford.\nIt seems that she was recruited by St. John's College Principal Sir Michael Scholar to do covert translating work for GCHQ at Cheltenham. It was an example of how the UK Statistical Office, of which Scholar is head, worked for HMG despite the legal prohibition that it not engage in politics.\nSeems Mrs. Loftus knew Gareth Williams, and learned how he had been betrayed by working for NSA/GCHQ - what resulted in her thinking of becoming a whistleblower too, and her unfortunate demise.\nI am researching an article about her apparent state-killing too, and it would be most helpful in the process if you can deny that Mrs. Loftus had any role in the comment you made.\nI don't think much of the last two comments - the first ones attempts to reply for Shader Writing without saying anything new, especially if he or she has any connection with Gudrun Loftus, and the second attempts to reduce the first comment into just spam by the link mentioned.\nI have had discussions with posters on The Local about the latter which I don't believe was the case with the real post from Shader Writing - i. e., it was a real, most unexpected message from Gudrun Loftus through an intermediary to get me to write the article about Williams murder without making it obvious because of the real links provided.\nThe recent posts just make me more convinced that I am on the right track. Why would anyone but spooks go to such trouble to make me look like a sucker for spam?\nThink now that Gareth was killed for leaking Afghan logs to Wikileaks, and lists of British security agents to the Dutch authorities through former MI6 agent Daniel Houghton, and Loftus was taken out when she decided to finish the faltering effort.\nDon't forget about GRU double agent in the process, Colonel Sergei Skripal, and Britain's paranoia about more George Blakes being among its national security ranks.\nsai venkat said...",

        "raw_content": "Fiction by Svetlana Kitto: Two Pieces\nPublished: April 29, 2016 August 30, 2016 By: Columbia Journal Category: Fiction\n\u201cHow long has it been since she left do you think?\u201d\nShe doesn\u2019t answer me. Pip, which is short for Penelope, is only four and doesn\u2019t know anything about hours and minutes anyway. So I sit with my legs out against the front door where I will be able to hear Mom in the courtyard of our apartment building right away, and think of everything that happened since she left to measure the minutes.\nI had sat and thought about what I was going to wear to school tomorrow, if it was warm my miniskirt with the fluorescent buttons; if not, jeans and my Dee-lite T-shirt. I was also thinking of Chantilly\u2019s new glasses, which were big and square and made her look like a boy. I had grabbed the brown carpet with my hands and dug my fingers into it and tried to get to the bottom most dirtiest spot and then pulled my hands up and smelled them to see if anything gross was under there. I had done this about four or five times at least. I had gotten up to pee and looked at my privates a lot and pushed the skin all around. I had gone to the bathtub and picked up the bottle of Herbal Essences, green shampoo with the beautiful river maiden on the front, whose long blond hair was all mixed with river grass and petals, and I had smelled it deeply with my eyes closed thinking of all the river mermaids of the world, dead like Ophelia in the painting, whose smell had somehow managed to get into this bottle of my favorite shampoo. I had gone to the fridge and looked at all the things mom could have eaten but didn\u2019t: tortillas for quesadillas, white bread and American cheese for grilled cheese, sour cream and Russian bologna and Ginger Ale and cherries and baby cheeses in the red wax.\nShe doesn\u2019t really like food because it makes her feel full, but every once in a while she wants something big like a big deli sandwich.\nI don\u2019t know why she can\u2019t take us with her. She takes us everywhere, even to her AA meetings, even to see all her friends, like Tracy and Al and Daniel, who has a pool and says I look like a pre-Raphaelite painting.\nI get up and run into the bedroom to tell Pip: \u201cI think she\u2019s been gone at least an hour, Pip! Maybe two! I\u2019m going to call the deli don\u2019t worry!\u201d But she\u2019s asleep in the bed we share, her dirty little feet tucked under her butt and her thumb in her mouth. \u201cOh, God!\u201d I say out loud. \u201cPlease, God! Let her be okay.\u201d\nI go into the living room and flop onto the couch on my back. I pick up the cordless phone and call 411. I know every time you call it costs 25 cents because my Dad got mad at me last month about all my 411 calls on the phone bill. But mom doesn\u2019t care about that kind of stuff.\n\u201cHello, Los Angeles. Can I please have the number for Greenblatt\u2019s Deli?\u201d\n\u201cYes please hold for the number.\u201d Then the lady robot\u2019s voice: \u201cThe number is 213-455-3264. Again, the number is 213-455-3264. Thank you for using AT&T\u2014\u201d\n\u201c213-455-3264, 213-455-3264.\u201d I hurry up and dial before I forget.\n\u201cHello, Greenblatt\u2019s Deli how may I help you?\u201d\n\u201cHello. I am looking for my mother. She is a short lady with long blond hair, red lips, motorcycle boots and a T-shirt with a Russian sailor on it. Do you see her there please?\u201d\n\u201cUmmm. Can you hold young lady?\u201d\nThe hold music comes on and I feel like I am going to throw up. If they don\u2019t find her there I am going to have to go outside and find her in the block between our house and the deli.\nThe hold music stops. \u201cHoney?\u201d\n\u201cMom! Why aren\u2019t you home yet it\u2019s been so long!\u201d\n\u201cDarling it\u2019s been ten minutes.\u201d\n\u201cWell what are you getting that\u2019s taking you so long?\u201d\n\u201cI\u2019m getting a pastrami sandwich.\u201d\n\u201cDid you order it already or did you not order it yet?\u201d\n\u201cI ordered it already! I will see you in a minute, okay?\u201d\n\u201cHow many minutes?\u201d I run into the kitchen. \u201cWait mom, if the clock on the stove says 9:13 now what will it say when you get home?\u201d\n\u201cDarling, I don\u2019t know exactly! Very soon. I\u2019m hanging up now okay?\u201d\nI hang up without saying bye. I pick up Simon, our Siamese cat, and drop him onto the bed with Pip and close the bedroom door behind me so he can\u2019t get out. I leave the front door open a crack and run down to the bottom of the stairs and sit on the bottom one. This way I will be able to see her as soon as she comes through the glass doors of our building.\nA friend of mine had thought it would be a really good idea to take a trip upstate to her billionaire girlfriend\u2019s house.\n\u201cShow your mom your life,\u201d my friend said. \u201cYou come up here all the time.\u201d\nTrue. But I wouldn\u2019t describe it as \u201cmy life\u201d exactly. More like, \u201cMy friend\u2019s life that might not even be her life.\u201d\nStill, my mother\u2019s first trip to visit me in New York, from my hometown of Los Angeles, begins with a trip upstate to the big modern house with bedrooms twice the size of my Brooklyn studio. On the way up, the three of us take a walk in Minnewaska State Park. We sat on a big white stone on the edge of the steep cliff that overlooked green furry hills and striped rocks propped up like pillows. My mom hugged me and held me.\n\u201cYour body looks great,\u201d she said. \u201cHave you lost weight? You look wonderful.\u201d I didn\u2019t say anything.\nIn the forest she got nostalgic. She described me to my friend. \u201cIrina was going to the toilet by herself at nine months. We put her on the bed, well, her father had a technique. Well, first you have to know that the first time we took Irina to the beach she started wailing as soon as she stepped in the sand. She couldn\u2019t stand the feeling\u2013sand in her toes. So when we were living in Battersea, in London, her father had the idea of letting her poop in the bed and having to sit in it. And she hated it so much she never pooped on herself again.\u201d\n\u201cSo you basically trained me like I was a dog.\u201d\n\u201cOh, that was your father\u2019s shit. Don\u2019t go blaming me for that.\u201d\nI feel my friend hugging me without hugging me\nThings get better back in New York. My mother and I go to Lincoln Center to see the New York Philharmonic play Mahler\u2019s Resurrection. A girl in the bathroom line with short hair says they always start late.\n\u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d she says. \u201cWe\u2019ll get back in time.\u201d\nLater my mom says, \u201cYou should come see concerts here, Irina. You love classical music. Why don\u2019t you come? I bet you none of your friends have the patience for it. I bet you you could meet people here. Meet a nice girl. Like that girl in line.\u201d\nWhen I notice the violins are out of sync, she tells me I have a natural intelligence for music. \u201cLike Grandma,\u201d she says. Who had her playing classical violin by the time she was five. This is the first time my mother has said anything about me and music. My sister had the ear, I had the brain. We were not allowed to have both.\nWe spend her last day in town walking around in my neighborhood. We go to brunch. She cries when I tell her about the creative writing workshop with the homeless kids. So do I. I tell her about Mecca, who had the baby and who was the best and most enthusiastic of everybody and then didn\u2019t show up to the reading. And about Quincy, the trans kid who fought me every time I said his stories were good, saying \u201cThat\u2019s nothing. I\u2019m a writer, I know what\u2019s good. That\u2019s not good, you don\u2019t know me.\u201d We sit on the steps of the Met and cry about the Jewish couple I read about in Pema Chodron\u2019s book.\nAnd then we\u2019re sitting together in my house. She\u2019s on my bed looking at a magazine. Saying the painting on my wall looked like a television. Saying I had \u201ctaste.\u201d \u201cYour apartment has class. It\u2019s a beautiful apartment. So compact. It all fits together like a puzzle. I don\u2019t know where you got that. Your sister doesn\u2019t have it. I don\u2019t have it.\u201d And she continues. \u201cYou live in a nice neighborhood. It\u2019s a black neighborhood, isn\u2019t it?\u201d she asks. \u201cWhat\u2019s that like?\u201d\nNo one but her asks questions like that.\n\u201cI\u2019m not American, honey,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ll never talk the way you think I should.\u201d\nAnd then: goodbye. The walk to the train down Eastern Parkway. Trying to show her a few more things. The building paneled like a Swiss Chalet. The grand Brooklyn Museum at night. The fountain that shoots water up into the sky like cannons.\n\u201cIt\u2019s like an orchestra,\u201d I say. \u201cLike Fantasia.\u201d But it stops as soon as we reach it.\nWhen we get down to the train, I walk her into the station. We hug for a long time. We are both crying again. That makes three times we cried together on her trip. Two strangers who know each other very well. Her blonde hair disappears down the stairs. I wait for her to look back but she doesn\u2019t.\nSvetlana Kitto is a writer.

        "raw_content": "Published: June 26, 2014 August 30, 2016 By: Columbia Journal Category: Columns\nTreasuring the Treasures\u2014The Leslie-Lohman Museum Protects the Artistic Legacy of the LGBTQ Community\nSi and Quieri, two of the images Gonzalo\u2019s Series, 2013, in Digital C-pring 36 x 74 \u201c, featured in the 26 Wooster Street window installation. Shown with permission of the Leslie-Lohman Museum.\nAmong the few lilies sprouting from the ashes of the late 20th century AIDS pandemic is the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, at 26 Wooster Street in Soho, a proud paean to the brilliant artists whose work might otherwise have been lost, burned or simply forgotten.\nThe museum is a gleaming white castle in the cast iron wonderland that once cradled New York manufacturing. It is a fortress of paintings, collages, sculpture, fabric art, et al., a \u201csafe-haven,\u201d as Museum Director Hunter O\u2019Hanian calls it, \u201cfor gay-themed art, a place where gay artists who were unrecognized in the mainstream world get to be seen and admired.\u201d\nIn 1969, Charles W. Leslie and Frederic \u201cFritz\u201d Lohman were life partners whose Prince Street loft, a popular salon for gay artists and art enthusiasts, became a gallery for the best work produced by members of the community. Later, as the AIDS crisis escalated, it became a vehicle of hope.\nAs artists and collectors were dying in wholesale numbers, Charles and Fritz were forced to close the gallery down in 1985 and turn their attention to saving priceless work from extinction. Unaware of the value or embarrassed by the nature of the work, families and friends had been discarding offending pieces. When the gallery reopened in 1987, its owners had created a nonprofit foundation to expand their reach. They moved to Wooster Street.\nIn 2011, a year after Fritz Lohman\u2019s death, the New York State Board of Regents finally granted a (provisional) Certificate of Museum Status, and the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art became the first and only museum in the world dedicated to the arts and crafts of the GLBTQ community.\nPeter Hujar, Cockette Bearded Cockette, 1973, Vintage gelatin silver print, 20 x 16 in. Gift of the Peter Hujar Archive. Shown with permission of the Leslie-Lohman Museum.\nThe well-polished, columned halls glisten like a modern Pantheon, and the mission of the Museum has broadened once again. Says O\u2019Hanian, \u201cWe\u2019ve always been here to exhibit and preserve art that speaks directly to the many aspects of the GLBTQ experience and to foster the artists who create it. But we\u2019re going lots further. We expect to become, like the Studio Museum of Harlem, the go-to professional museum for artists and art lovers providing a unique look at carefully guest-curated work representing a specific cultural group but appealing to all museum goers.\u201d\nHunter O\u2019Hanian joined the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art as its Director in October 2012. He serves, as well, as the Executive Director of the Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation. Shown with permission of the Leslie-Lohman Museum.\n\u201cThe most significant gay artists of our time are all around us. There are pockets of creativity all over New York, especially now in Brooklyn. You can see their work in galleries in Chelsea and the East Village, where self-identifying queers and non gender-specific individuals make abstract and realistic art on a new frontier. Some of the pioneering galleries are willing to show them, but it\u2019s really hard for the artists to get their work \u2018out there,\u2019 and the most important part of our mission is to provide a platform, an exhibition venue for the many gifted artists who have been discriminated against or whose work has been refused because of its gay theme or subject matter.\u201d\nThe six full-time staff and 2 part-time staff members (https://www.leslielohman.org/about/staff.html) are taking the message far and wide beyond the museum walls. The Archive, a quarterly journal, explores the many facets of the community the Museum serves. The institution\u2019s catalogs (http://leslielohman.org/publications/the-archive.html) , are as meticulously curated and laid out as the shows they chronicle, the resource center and library (http://leslielohman.org/research.html) are unparalleled for information about people, events, places and achievements in the GLBTQ art world. The Museum\u2019s shows are taking to the road. Look for Stroke, From Under the Mattress to the Museum Walls, (https://www.leslielohman.org/about/press-release/2014/stroke-pr.html), for example, at the Stonewall National Museum and Archives in Fort Lauderdale in Spring 2015.\nDyke Action Machine (DAM) \u2013 Do you Love the Dyke in Your Life, 1995, part of the Museum\u2019s permanent collection, the largest of its kind in the world. Processed ink on paper, 8 x 8\u2033. Shown with permission of the Leslie-Lohman Museum.\nThe Prince Street basement gallery, where the enterprise began, is now a studio and educational space, housing some events while others find a home at Wooster Street; these events range from drawing classes to a recent conference of gay and lesbian New York judges, and while there are a wide variety of events planned, the Museum is always on the lookout for new ideas. \u201cWe love to hear from the public with suggestions for shows and programs.\u201d (Write yours to info[at]leslielohman[dot]org.)\nA blogger recently noted that, \u201cIt seems so strange that we would (still) need a museum devoted solely to Lesbian and Gay Art.\u201d Some day perhaps every museum will exhibit works dealing with non-heterosexual issues. For the time being, the Leslie-Lohman Museum holds a unique position.\nO\u2019Hanian muses, \u201cWe represent the gay culture of the last quarter of the 20th century\u2014a culture created during the AIDS pandemic and salvaged from the overt hate that was rife across this country, even here in New York City, a culture that does not necessarily speak to the 18-25-year-old today; we also represent the ever-changing gay culture of today. There\u2019s a forty-year gap there, but it\u2019s a gap the Museum has already begun to fill.\u201d\nCarla Stockton, Nonfiction Editor of Issue #53, is a lifelong on-and-off New Yorker, who, after living for 13 years in exile in the southwest desert, brings a returnee\u2019s perspective to the city.

        "title": "CONVERSABLE ECONOMIST: The Decade-Long Rise in Teen Summer Unemployment",
        "raw_content": "The Wall Street Journal published an editorial last Friday bemoaning high teenage summer unemployment, and blaming the recent rise in the minimum wage from $5.15/hour in 2007 to $7.25/hour in 2009. This summer, about 24% of teenagers will have jobs.\nIf I was in Congress, I would have leaned against voting to raising the minimum wage in 2007. I would rather help the working poor through further expansions of the earned income tax credit. I suspect that raising the minimum wage by 40% from 2007 to 2009 did have a negative effect on teen employment. But even speaking as non-fan of the higher minimum wage, I don't think it's the main cause of the low rates of teen employment.\nTheresa L. Morisi at the Bureau of Labor Statistics published a useful overview of the long-run pattern of teen summer unemployment patterns about a year ago. Here are some themes I took away from her article:\n1) Teen employment rates have been falling since the early 1990s.\n2) This decline in teen employment rates cuts across younger and older teenagers, ethnicity, and whether teens are enrolled in school or not.\n3) There are a number of plausible reasons why teenagers are working less. Families are more affluent. Summer school has increased. The high prices of college means, counterintuitively, that student earnings for college are less potentially important. One interesting pattern is that the share of teens not in the labor force who say they \"want a job\" has fallen since the 1990s.\n4) With these other social changes, wage rates for teenagers are probably not the main determinant. Remember that during much of this time, the value of the minimum wage after adjusting for inflation was falling. Measured in real 2007 dollars, the minimum wage was worth $6.50 in 1998 and $5.15 in 2007.But this didn't prevent teen employment from falling during this time. Here are teen wages over this time period.\nThe modest nudge upward in median wages for teens since 2007 is probably driven in part by the rise in the minimum wage. As I said before, the higher minimum wage probably has reduced jobs for this group. But the grim economy and the other factors given here suggest that the higher minimum wage isn't the main driving force for low teen employment.\nLabels: minimum wage, price regulation",

Due to the unprecedented weather conditions, it is simply not safe for us to transport our ensemble and equipment from Dublin to Galway over the next 24 hours. In nearly 14 years, we have never canceled a show (EVEN during the Icelandic volcano!) and we are all sincerely sorry to all of our Galway fans.\nThe rest of the tour WILL be going ahead, beginning in Dun Laoghaire on Sunday, December 5th. All rail trasnport into Dun Laoghaire has been virtually unaffected, and we are already working on travel logistics to Castlebar on Monday, December 6th. For those of you who were hoping to see us in Galway tomorrow night, Castlebar is a mere 1.5 hours away, so please catch us there, we'd love to see you out! Check out the concerts section of our website for more dates.\nhttp://www.crashensemble.com/concerts.php\nThanks to everyone who helped with the Galway show - we were very much looking forward to kicking off the tour here and WILL be back in the near future. Stay tuned.\n- Crash Ensemble",

There were several sub-groups who were working on Plan Nord. Three of these sub-groups requested for the document. It was hoped by C.T.A. that this document may come alive and be used in the Plan Nord. But unfortunately this did not happen. C.T.A. will have to continue to lobby with Cree School Board with this program and its implementation and funding. It seems nobody knows how to deal with this program and that\u2019s why we have a long delay with its implementation and realization.\nHighway vehicle (ohv) Eeyou Istchee\nThis file includes the operation of both snowmobiles and four wheelers. In June 2006, Bill 9 was adopted by the Province of Quebec to improve the situation between trailside residents and OHV users. At the same time an Eeyou Istchee Coordination Panel with representatives from the Grand Council of the Crees/Cree Regional Authority (GCCEI/CRA), Cree Outfitting and Tourism Association (COTA) and the Cree Trappers\u2019 Association (CTA) was established. The Cree Trappers\u2019 Association representative on the panel is their President. The mandate of the Coordination Panel is to make the regulations consistent with the northern Cree context and balance safety issues with the protection of treaty rights and reconcile the two with solutions that are reasonable in the north.",

        "raw_content": "AECOM, Los Angeles\nThrough a series of projects, the objective has been to explore the possibility of establishing a new sort of contextual relationship between an architecture and its surroundings. This manifests itself in architecture that performs optimally in its environment, resulting in a project that exposes the salient characteristics of the site. Its formal compatibility is a result of context-derived environmental strategies. To quote Robert Smithson, \u201cThe investigation of a specific site is a matter of extracting concepts out of existing sense-data through direct perceptions. One does not impose, but rather exposes the site.\u201d\nAlthough the programmatic vehicles for these explorations have ranged in scale and complexity from master plans and airports to bridges and streetlights, in this presentation, the focus is on three towers sited in three different cities. Sydney, Australia; Bogota, Colombia and Kunming, China all present different environmental challenges. The resulting materiality, form and articulation for each tower is unique and has been tuned to its environment. To truly meet the challenge of zero energy or carbon neutrality, especially for a tower, the environment is critically important. An advantage of each of the three cities is that they all feature relatively dry air and a relatively small range of temperature variation. Also, these cities experience low wind speeds and consistent sun exposure throughout the year. Each tower design has a distinct appearance, derived from a unique response to its climate, and, once built, will have close to a zero-carbon footprint.",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home All Saints' Church From the Vicar - June 2018\nIt was a wonderful day which brought together the village, church and college into one community. Our thanks go to Bishop Humphrey for allowing us to use the college and to all the students who helped on stalls and to set up. Thanks too, go to the fete committee chaired by Mark Chapman for all their hard work in organising the day. Thankfully the royal wedding and the Cup final did not diminish the crowds and we were blessed with sunny weather that brought people out of their homes. Thank also go to John Paxton who opened the fete this year and to all you came.\nThe funds from the fete is split between the general fund, that meets ministry costs, and the fabric fund. As you are probably well aware we have been doing a great deal of work on the fabric of the church and this year it has been the turn of the bells. Thanks to Keith Hawley who has secured a number of grants over the year, we have been able to meet the considerable cost that has been incurred by restoring the bells and are grateful to all those who have personally contributed to the costs. On the 24th June there will be a fundraising concert Concert in Aid of Cuddesdon Church Bells at 6 pm in the Edward King Chapel at Ripon College, Cuddesdon. A programme of music will be performed including Missa and Motet O Quam Gloriosum, Tomas Luis de Victoria and English madrigals and partsongs for a summer evening to celebrate the restoration of the bells of All Saints' Church, Cuddesdon. Tickets are \u00a315 and are available from Lynda Ware on 01865 873010 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .\nOnce again the Rectory Labyrinth is open over the summer to enable you to walk it. There are many ways to describe a labyrinth: a path of prayer, a walking meditation, a crucible of change, a watering hole for the spirit. There is no right way or wrong way to walk a labyrinth. Use it in any way that meets your need. The dates and times are: 23rd May 10 am to 4 pm, 13th June 10 am to 4 pm, 1st July 2 to 5 pm, 20th July 10 am to 4 pm, 15th August 10 am to 4 pm, 9th September 2 to 5 pm. Please drop in at any time or if you want to come on a different occasion just let me know.\nYou are also warmly invited tea and Choral Evensong at Magdalen College on Wednesday 13th June. Jonathan, who is the Dean of Divinity, will meet us at the Porter's Lodge at 3.30 pm and then give us a tour of the Chapel and Library followed by tea. The afternoon ends with Choral Evensong at 6 pm sung by the boys and clerks, many of whom you know from the Men of Magdalen Concerts, which lasts about 45 minutes. All are most welcome, but we would be grateful if you could let us know if you would like to come so that we can cater for you. Please email Emma or sign the sheet in church if you wish to come.\nDon\u2019t forget to book your ticket for the Festival of Prayer on 7th July. Now in its eighth year, the Festival is an exceptional event which takes place annually in the College and Church bringing people together from across the diocese to explore different aspects of the spiritual life. This year our keynote speaker is John Bell from the Iona Community, whom you may have heard give Thought for the Day on Radio 4. Further details are outlined below, but we do hope you will not miss this amazing event right on your doorstep.\nFinally, it is the season of farewells. This year we not only say farewell to all those leaving the college to be ordained but also to Sister Jane Oliver of the Cuddesdon Sisters who is retiring to a nursing home in Chiswick. We thank her for all she has given us over the years, for her sustaining prayers and quiet presence. We will miss her but hope she settles into her new home quickly.",

        "title": "INTERVIEW: Bishop to Mbaka: You are an embarrassment to Catholic Church \u2013 Daylight",
        "raw_content": "Bishop of Catholic Dioceses of Yola, Most Rev Stephen Mamza, bares his mind on the role of religious leaders in politics and the upcoming elections, among other issues.\nAs the general elections approach, some religious leaders are being accused of playing partisan politics. What are your thoughts on this?\nThe problem we have is that some of our clerics are hungry religious leaders, those not there for the service of God but because of their pockets. If not, why should a religious leader allow politicians to control him. The cleric is supposed to be the leader of the politicians and not the other way round, as we see it. The clerics are the ones that are supposed to form the conscience of the politicians. Some have ceded this position because of material things. They have lost their credibility because of what they expect to get. I can give examples with the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has rules and regulations. But there are many other religious bodies that do not have guiding principles. These are the bodies that allow their leaders to go beyond the limit that is acceptable.\nBut Rev Father Ejike Mbaka is a Catholic cleric. Are his political statements in consonance with your church\u2019s principles?\nRev Father Mbaka is an embarrassment to the Catholic Church and I wonder why he has yet to be sanctioned by the Bishop of his Diocese. This cannot happen in other dioceses. He should be sanctioned. There is no reason why he shouldn\u2019t be sanctioned. Every priest is under the jurisdiction of their local ordinaire who is the bishop. If a priest commits a crime or does something wrong anywhere in the world, the person that acts on that priest is the bishop. Even Rome will not act just like that; it is your own bishop that will do that. I think we can say that his bishop should make sure he cautions Father Mbaka because he has really crossed his boundaries.\nNigeria, despite being a nation of religious people, is faced with moral decadence and corruption has continued to soar. Do you think religious bodies are doing enough?\nI think something is wrong. In a situation where the religious leaders themselves are corrupt; a situation, where the religious leaders\u2019 conscience is not properly formed, we should expect that the followers will do worse things. As a matter of fact, if you look at some of the religious leaders that we have, you actually wonder. Our major problem in this country is that of leadership. When we talk about leadership, it cuts across politics, religion and other segments of leadership you can conceive. It is not a problem of following.\nYou have always spoken out against President Muhammadu Buhari as being a divisive leader, especially based on his appointments. Do you see this trend also playing out in the coming elections?\nOf course, that is why people don\u2019t even trust the elections that are coming up in February and March this year. People feel that having almost all the security apparatus in the hands of the northerners is not healthy. If you look at the Independent National Electoral Commission, almost all those in charge of sensitive positions are northerners. They are not only northerners, but northern Muslims. The Christians in the North are in the minority; we don\u2019t even have a say because we are not welcomed. In the South, we are not also welcome. We don\u2019t know where we belong. The way the present government makes appointments is really very suspicious and we are very doubtful that this present government is prepared to organise free, fair and credible elections.\nThe issue of appointments is something that is glaring. In fact, there are many Muslims who are not comfortable. They have even had to complain about it.\nYou talked about the northern Christians being in the minority. What really do you mean by this?\nChristians in the North are treated like second-class citizens. We are not treated as northerners because of the simple fact that we are Christians. There are several situations where you are deprived of appointment because you are a Christian. You are deprived of admission or a particular course of study in the university because you are a minority. The same goes for other privileges meant for everyone to enjoy; Christians are being denied. We are treated like second-class citizens.\nSome clerics have formed the habit of making predictions about the outcome of the 2019 elections. Are you comfortable with this?\nIn the first place, if you say you have heard a revelation about the outcome of the elections, how sure are we that you really had a revelation from God. There are many people who sit in their homes and think of what should be just to bring confusion into the country. They will say they have had a revelation. Many of them, in the past, what they predicted never came pass; they were actually false. I think the revelation should be guided; there should be judgement as regards whether the revelation is true or not. Is it from God or not from God? Even the Bible tells us that if it is a prophecy, you have to judge whether this prophecy is from God or not. It is not everything that comes into your mind that you tell the public.

        "raw_content": "Home Homily\tThe Work Of Joy\nIn monastic communities manual labor is considered to be a special kind of holy work, because it humbles us and puts us in solidarity with all those other people in the world who do manual labor. And because it\u2019s necessary. The bread needs to be baked. The floors need to be swept.\nAll work can be prayer, the monks know, if it is done prayerfully, for the glory of God.\nThere\u2019s also the labor of our inner lives, there\u2019s our inner work, the day to day struggle to face and acknowledge our sins and to discern the will for God us that particular day and to discipline ourselves to what is sometimes the hard work and the grind of simply getting up and praying every morning, of making ourselves do what we don\u2019t feel like doing. Sometimes prayer is joyous and of great comfort but often it isn\u2019t. Often we\u2019re just going through the motions, we feel a dryness, and in a way that\u2019s the holiest work of all, because it\u2019s done without reward, it\u2019s done because it needs to be done and ought to be done, out of respect for God and not because it feels good and gives us joy. It\u2019s certainly the hardest work, because it\u2019s invisible, because it often doesn\u2019t seem to be making any difference at all, even though in the end it makes the biggest difference of all.\nOften we\u2019re just going through the motions, we feel a dryness, and in a way that\u2019s the holiest work of all, because it\u2019s done without reward, it\u2019s done because it needs to be done and ought to be done, out of respect for God and not because it feels good and gives us joy.\nAnd then there\u2019s the work of Christ and the Spirit, the healing of the withered hand, the work that only God can do, in his kindness. No matter how hard we work ourselves, in our inner and our outer lives, we are not God and we don\u2019t have the power and we can\u2019t earn or manufacture or control the grace that streams down us but also seems to come and to go. We don\u2019t heal. We are healed. Whatever we do is the work of the spirit, we are conduits, it is \u201cChrist in us.\u201d\nFor this we \u201clabor and struggle,\u201d as Colossians says, \u201cin accord with the exercise of his power working in us.\u201d This is the work: it is the work of God in us, is the labor and struggle of Jesus continuing to transform all the earth through our bodies and through our lives and through all we do.\nAnd when we know this, when we accept this, there is rest, and only here: \u201conly in God be at rest, my soul,\u201d for \u201cfrom him comes my hope.\u201d \u201cTrust in him at all times,\u201d in all we do. We labor every day, we do the best we can, even in the small things, we try as hard as we can, and at the same time we don\u2019t, we let go, we surrender, knowing that we are workers in the vineyards, we are hired hands, we are the hands themselves, the hands of God, accomplishing his great transformative work in the world, which is the work of love, which is the work of joy.\nColossianshomilieslaborwork",

The current oath is as follows:\n\"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.\"\nObviously, sworn government officials have not borne the true faith and allegiance to the same; nor taken freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and have very well not faithfully discharged the duties of the office which they entered, thereby rebelling against the Oath.\nHence, we have growing disorder and perplexing derision and confusion throughout our \u201cwounded\u201d land.\nThe Sworn Promise To GOD\nEssentially, all those sworn to public office in the US federal government, including the military are by Constitutional mandate of the 14th Amendment and Civil Rights Act of 1866 locked into mortal commitment that is reserved first and foremost to the chattel slaves and their descendants.\nFederal officials are sworn to the finish the cause of all those hundreds of thousands of American men and boys who suffered death as well as millions more with lifelong physical and psychological wounds.\nThis implicating statement \u201cSo Help Me GOD\u201d recited at the end of the Oath was instituted by George Washington at his first inaugural and has been used since.\nHowever, though this sworn Oath was on behalf of the people who gave them consent to govern, the invoking of GOD at the end implicates HIM in their efforts good or bad.\nIn other words, the government official have contracted with GOD, on our behalf to ensure that the Principles of HIS Kingdom are manifested \u201con the ground\u201d in the United States of America, with the most obvious task being, rectifying chattel slavery and its\u2019 generational aftermath.\nAnnuit Septus \u2013 \u201cHe Has Favored Our Undertaking\u201d\nBy American federal officials continuing to swear this Oath with \u201cSo Help Me GOD\u201d, and don\u2019t do so accordingly, The LORD GOD Almighty takes it personally, especially in the matter of the chattel slaves and their descendants in America.\nFor any government official to not make the finishing the business with GOD concerning chattel slavery and its\u2019 aftermath runs the definite risk of helping to endanger the destiny of the United States.\nDr. King wisely pointed out, \u201c\u2026for many of our white brothers\u2026have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.\u201d\nWhen the 14th Amendment is enforced as originally intended, which is simply the Congressional Promissory Note issued to the freed chattel slaves and their descendants, GOD will then demonstrate HIS providential favor towards America because we choose to obediently undertake and finish what Lincoln called \u201cthe great task remaining before us\u201d, thereby ensuring, \u201c...under GOD a new birth of freedom, that government of, by and for the people shall not perish from the earth.\u201d\nEssentially, the existence of the Republic is interlocked with it completing the Business it entered into with the Central Figure of the Declaration of Independence concerning chattel slavery and its\u2019 aftermath.",

        "raw_content": "Subject: Domestic Violence Personal Stories Tue Oct 27, 2009 1:11 pm\nMy name is Linda and I started having a bad life at 18. I met what I thought was a wonderful man. He was one of my bosses from work. He was so kind to me at fist. We would spend lovely times together just having fun. I seemed important to him; at least I thought I was.\nAfter we were dating for about 2.5 months I found out I was pregnant and I wanted no more children. I already had a son and I was too young for him but another would have been havoc. So I told Joe that I wanted to terminate the pregnancy and that is when it all started.\nHe kept me home and fired me from my job. For the 1st time he hit me right across the face because I said I was leaving him. He dragged me into the dept. store and said we are going shopping so stop crying like a baby. He acted like it was nothing and I knew it was wrong but I did as I was told. I was 18 and he was 31. I thought an older man would be better for me but I was wrong!\nThe hitting became beatings almost every day. Even though I was pregnant, he did not care. He said, \"If you were a good girl I wouldn't have to discipline you so much.\" I hated hearing that. Be a good girl- that was screwed up ya' know?\nI had my daughter and I thought it would help us but it didn't. It just meant that I was stuck with him. The black eyes and busted lips and bruised body was all I knew and he was taking my heart too. I was no longer living near my parents and I was forbidden to have friends or should I say a life?\nTwo years later I became pregnant and I was not at all happy with that. But of course I had to stay pregnant. It cooled him down a little and he always said he was sorry. I hated my life and I wanted it to end but I had children whom I loved and I couldn't leave them. That is what keeps me alive. I tried to get help from my dad but he said THAT I MADE MY BED NOW - lay in it!! That hurt so much because I thought daddies were there to help when you needed them most.\nMy father was angry with me because I had children and he said it was my fault I put myself in that type of position. My mom couldn't even help me she could barely take care of herself. So as my pregnancy progressed he was a little nicer to me- we had twins now. That was the worse news to me. I kept thinking how am I going to leave with 4 kids.\nI paid for a tubal ligation so I couldn't have any more children with him. I started saving a dollar here and a dollar there so I could escape my hell with my children. I remember one day that I told him I hated him with every bone in my body. He hit me so hard I went flying at least 10 feet across the bed and onto the floor. Blood dripping from my mouth, I just smiled and said, \"Are you done?\" I was so tired of him hitting me and controlling me as a person that I had had enough!\nHe started hitting me some more and I didn't back down. He finally walked away. The days went by and I would get hit because I didn't vacuum first then dust. The house was not clean enough or there was a fork in the sink I would get slapped again. He made excuses to hit me. So I bided my time till I could leave.\nA few years later I was going to be gone within a few months then I found out I was pregnant again. I was floored because I paid to be fixed. Well I was that 1% that could get pregnant. So I stayed until my last child was 1 and a 1/2 and I packed my things and left.\nI left the children behind because I couldn't care for 5 children. I took the oldest child with me because he was mine and not his. I became a stripper to care for my son and we did fine and I thought I would finally be free of violence. I loved my new life of no more long sleeved shirts or pants to cover the bruises.\nThen I met James and he swore he would never hit me and he didn't for 1 1/2 years. Then one day I was out riding my bike and I pulled into the front yard and he was yelling and all of a sudden I fell down. He had hit me in the face so hard I had lost my balance. I still do not know why he hit me that day he never told me.\nI stayed with him for a few more months hoping it was a mistake and it would never happen again. But I was wrong again. I let him move in with me in hopes of a good relationship. It did not last long.\nOne night I went out with my friends like I always did on Fridays and when I got home he yelled and screamed at me for being out while he was working. I basically told him he needed to leave because it was not working out then he hit me across the face a couple of times. I got up and ran for the phone to call for help. He pulled it out of the wall. He kept saying why are you making me do this to you? He grabbed my hair and was dragging me into the bedroom and I knew what that meant from experience I began to scream for help.\nMy son heard me and I hollered to him to get the neighbors and he did. He saved my life. James was arrested and given 1.5 years and no contact. I moved after that. We were over and I was over with men at least I thought I was.\nThen one day my friend introduced me to a handsome sweet intelligent man and I fell for him hard. I was tired of being put down and bruised but my girlfriend assured me that he was good. She lied! He was worse than the other two put together. It was pure hell and I didn't realize what pain really was till I was with Jeff. He hit me every day even if he woke up in a good mood. I hated life and everyone in it. I thought that this is how my life was meant to be so I stayed for 6.5 years till I couldn't take it no more.\nHe would call my job all of the time and make me bring home a register receipt to prove what time I left. He held a gun to my head and said, If you want to die, let's do it.\" He would hit me in the face all of the time. Everyone at my job knew he was mean but no one would help me. Finally after he broke my windshield for the 3rd time I left and moved 20 minutes away and transferred to another store. He found me once again.\nHe called us all hours of the night yelling nasty things to myself and my roommate. He threatened her a lot and finally after 6 months of calls I finally agreed to see him in hopes of it being the last time. I was hoping that he had realized that after 6.5 years of hate he would finally end it and be civil. I wanted him to go on with his life so I could without him. I wanted to stop looking over my shoulder and my dreams would stop keeping me up at night. I wanted sleep again. I wanted to smile again. I wanted to be ME again.\nHe invited me to his birthday party so I figured I would be safe. I was so tired from working 18 hours straight but I made it to the party and there was other people there so I was ok with it. He was drinking and taking Librium pills the next door neighbor got him. I should have known to leave but I didn't.\nI fell asleep on the couch and I awakened to him standing over me just looking at me in a confused look. I asked him what he was doing and he grabbed my throat and said, \"you think you can just walk away from me. No you can't.\" I froze for a moment because I had this strange feeling rush over me and I can't completely describe it but it was scary. I knew then if I didn't get away from him I would die! I knew it and I didn't know how but I was terrified beyond belief. I pushed him off and ran for the door. He got up and chased me and it started a fight because I was determined to win this one. He grabbed my hair and pulled and yanked it hurt so bad that I could barely stand the pain. I wrapped my arms around the railing of the outside steps and held on for life. My arms began to bleed from scraping the wood rail back and forth but I held on.\nHe finally got me loose and I fell to the top step with my face down hoping to pass out. I knew I had to stay alive and that meant staying awake. He grabbed my head and began pounding it into the top step. It hurt and all I could do was cry and fight back. I saw blood dripping onto the step and I knew I had to be bleeding from my face now. It was a mess all over the steps. He yanked me up and I dropped to the steps again and he kept telling me to get up and get inside and I kept yelling for help. No one listened. He grabbed my hair and dragged me inside and I grabbed the doorway in hopes of tiring him out because I was tired. I dug my nails into the wood frame around the door making my fingers bleed and nails breaking from the pressure I could no longer hold on. I was now inside and he picked me up and threw me up against the wall calmly talking to me saying that we were soul mates and we had to be together. He said that our lives, especially his, was not going to be wasted by me. I owed him and I say I owed him nothing! We fought some more hitting each other profusely not taking a breath. I pushed him away and he fell over the end table he looked up and then unscrewed the table and came at me again and caught me right across the nose. I felt dizzy and out of it.\nI remember saying to myself if there is a God, please help me. I will never doubt Your existence again. I never believed in God until that night. Jeff kept hitting me and made me walk the house with him. Finally I had him convinced that we would marry tomorrow. He stopped. He brought me into the kitchen to wipe my face off because he said I was a mess. He told me to go shower and change into some of his pajamas and we would watch our favorite movie. I agreed. I rushed upstairs and got into the shower and cried so hard it hurt. I looked down at the water and it was red all red. That's all I could see and I cried even more. My face hurt so much that I couldn't bring myself to look at it. I got out of the shower and dried off quickly and ran down stairs. He laid on the couch babbling about how I made him do that to me. He made me make a promise to be good and to marry him. I was to obey him forever and we would never be apart again.\nI waited for him to fall asleep. It was midnight so that meant we had been fighting for 1 hour. I was so tired and dizzy but all I could think of was getting out. I waited for him to snore so I would know he was asleep. I went to the back door and unlocked the first lock 2 more to go. I waited a little while longer and opened another then another then I ran out the door as quickly as I could run. I ran down the steps and didn't look back. My feet were bleeding from running down the rocky driveway. All I could think was getting help.\nI ran across the street to a neighbor's house it was 3:30 in the morning. I tapped on his window and begged for him to let me in. He opened the door and let me in we called the police and it was now over for me and him. I thank the Davidson county police of Tennessee for all their help. I get to live again. I am now 36 years older and am finally happy. I forgot what it was like to breathe on my own again. I haven't seen Jeff in 3 years and I keep track of him. He is still in jail and I have found someone who is the best thing in my life besides my children. 3 times is a charm - no the 4th is!!!!\nLast edited by Mia on Tue Oct 27, 2009 1:19 pm; edited 1 time in total\nSubject: Re: Domestic Violence Personal Stories Tue Oct 27, 2009 1:18 pm\nThe Reclamation of Me Before I: A Reminiscent Truth of a Destructive Past\nBy Lynnesha\nI was 16 when he stole from me. Stole my virginity, my dignity, and my\nself-esteem. I want it back.\nI met him on the internet. A newly-turned 16, I knew that my mom would not approve of me talking to boys that were over 18 in person, but online, as I thought, was different. He said such sweet things. I met him offline two weeks later, and he looked normal enough, with big, pink lips and a kind, welcoming smile. We dated for three months before he told me he loved me as he took my innocence. I knew that I was in love. Just knew it. It felt so right; I was happy beyond measure, and even though my parents had a bad feeling about him, they didn\u2019t know him as well as I did. I was the one that he loved.\nThen he hit me.\nHE punched me with closed fists in my face, my stomach, and one day even gave me a black eye. He told me I was ugly, stupid, fat, and that he is the only one that is stupid enough to have any emotion towards me, so I became a bulimic \u201ccutter\u201d. After he hit me, he would kiss me on the\nforehead and apologize, and I would forgive him. Then he would bruise my\nface again. I didn\u2019t drive, so the three hour journey by public\ntransportation came with confused stares; the other passengers watched me cry as tears and blood rolled down my cheeks.\nI left him eight months later.\nI was 18 when he stole from me.\nI met HIM through a mutual friend. While I didn\u2019t think that he was very\nattractive, I thought that I should humor him and go out on a date. We had a great time, filled with laughter and jokes all night. Towards the end, I parked my car around Montebello Lake and we sat in the backseat to talk. He started to get closer and closer.\nI told him no. I told him to stop. I told him to get off of me.\nHe held me down so strongly that I was afraid he\u2019d break my arms. He told\nme to shut up as I screamed, and told me that I wanted it, when I didn\u2019t.\nI was afraid that he\u2019d hit me, so I stopped fighting back, and after he\nwas done I took him home.\nI remained friends with him until we lost touch\nMy best friend had casual sex with this guy who was 35. She was only 18.\nOne day her partner invited us to his place in the city for drinks, and\ntold me that he\u2019d bring a guy for me. The GUY that was there when we\u2019d\narrived was super unattractive, but told me that he worked full-time as a\nstripper in a local club. We all sat around the television and drank, and\nright before I became unconscious, my best friend and her partner left me\nin the room with this guy I barely knew. As I started to black out, I can\nremember his hands touching me, him smiling, and my eyes shutting.\nHe took advantage of me repeatedly while I was intoxicated.\nI awoke to a painful, swollen vagina and my clothing ripped apart. My\nbreasts were red and had bite marks all around them. When I told my best\nfriend what happened, she laughed heartily and said \u201cyou shouldn\u2019t have\ngotten that drunk!\u201d\nShe remained my best friend for two more years.\nI am 21 and I want it back.\nEvery day they haunt me in some capacity, their memories clinging to my\nbeing like lint to a black sweater. They befoul my relationships, my\nsexual life, and most importantly, my self-esteem. I\u2019m pissed off because\nI want her back. The innocent, overly confident, happy girl that just\nwanted to love and be loved is gone, and what\u2019s left is her overly\nsensitive, self-conscious sister. The three of THEM are out living normal\nlives, free from the hurt and confusion that comes from being physically,\nmentally and emotionally abused. They should pay, and I have already\nplanned my revenge. I will live a full and complete life, finding love,\ngetting married, and sharing my love with my children. I will educate\nyoung women on the warning signs of domestic abuse. I will talk to those\nthat can relate and help me through the angst that the three of them have\nput me through.\nI will be a strong woman.\nThe little girl that has been taken away from me will be avenged by\npreserving the little girl inside of young women in future generations.\nThat is what will not only make them go away, but that will bring her back\nI will regain my sanity, my dignity, and ME.",

        "raw_content": "Problem: According to Luke, a blind man was healed as Jesus entered the city of Jericho (18:35), but Matthew and Mark declare that the healing took place as Jesus left the city of Jericho. Again, the accounts do not seem to be harmonious.\nSolution: Some believe that the healing in Luke may have actually taken place as Jesus left Jericho, claiming that it was only the initial contact that took place as \u201cHe was coming near Jericho\u201d (Luke 18:35) and the blind man may have followed Him through the city, since he was continually begging Jesus to heal him (vv. 38\u201339). But this seems unlikely, since even after the healing (v. 43) the very next verse (19:1) says, \u201cthen Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.\u201d\nOthers respond by noting there were two Jerichos, the old and the new, so that as He went out of one He came into the other.\nStill others suggest that these are two different events. Matthew and Mark clearly affirm the healing occurred as Jesus left the city (Matt. 20:29; Mark 10:46). But Luke speaks of healing one blind man as He entered the city. This is supported by the fact that Luke refers only to a \u201cmultitude\u201d of people being present as Jesus entered the city (18:36), but both Matthew (20:29) and Mark (10:46) make a point to say there was a \u201cgreat multitude\u201d of people there by the time Jesus left the city. If the word spread of the miraculous healing on the way into the city, this would account for the swelling of the crowd. It might also explain why two blind men were waiting on the other side of the city to plead for Jesus to heal them. Perhaps the first blind man who was healed went quickly to tell his blind friends what happened to him. Or maybe the other blind men were already stationed at the other end of the city in their customary begging position. At any rate, there is no irresolvable difficulty in the passage. The two accounts can be understood in a completely compatible way.",

        "raw_content": "International Students Enrich Us All\nYou are here: Home / News / Articles / International Students Enrich Us All\nThe Financial Times reported in January that \u201cnew visa rules [are being] blamed for fall in overseas students intake,\u201d with the story reflecting that whilst currently Britain continues to be one of the most attractive destinations in the world for international students, latest recruitment figures show that we have seen a slowdown in recent years.\nIn response to these latest developments, elected mayors from across the country wrote an open letter highlighting the profound and positive impact international students have on our cities and regions, and the need for the government to have a more positive approach in this area.\nCurrently, around 230,000 students arrive here annually for university courses, mostly postgraduates.\nMore and more evidence shows that international students are a vital source of export earnings for Britain, as well as a source of investment in towns and cities across the country.\nA recent report from the Higher Education Policy Institute outlined in detail just how much international students contribute to the economy. The report showed that international students generate a net economic benefit of more than \u00a320bn for the UK economy, and outlines how international students bring economic benefits that are worth 10 times the costs of hosting them.\nThis is a sum of over \u00a3300 pounds a year for every British resident from international students. But as the aforementioned letter from the mayors pointed out, these benefits are not just economic, but cultural and societal as well.\nInternational students enrich us socially and culturally, enriching our university campuses and the experience of UK students.\nSome of international also ask to stay on after their studies, and again then make an important contribution to our living standards. The NHS is just one sector which would collapse without the contribution of overseas students who come here to study and then stay on to work.\nWe need to send a more open and welcoming message to international students. In contrast, the current Tory approach is damaging Britain in this area, and suggests they see international students as a drain on the economy and society.\nIndia\u2019s Hindustan Times , to give just one example, recently argued that Britain had many top universities, \u201cbut they also offer the most student-hostile government in the world.\u201d\nInstead, we should be trying as hard as possible to make Britain as attractive a place as possible for international students, especially considering the challenges our higher education sector and economy face due to the Brexit process.\nThere is a growing consensus that it is time to remove students from immigration targets \u2013 calls which have been supported by Labour, many Tories, key components of the higher education sector and many others in recent months.\nIndeed, it was repeatedly argued by Theresa May\u2019s supporters in this area that there were large numbers of international students who overstayed their visas and so contributed to the breach of their immigration target. But the evidence has showed that these claims - that have been repeated ad nauseam for a number years by some right-wing media outlets and Tory politicians \u2013 are both false.\nIn reality, all the mounting evidence that the policy of including international students in the total immigration data, and then subjecting them to the same irrational net migration target, is completely counter-productive.\nIn terms of both public opinion and in the political debate, the government is clearly in a minority on this issue. Indeed, research shows that just 20 per cent of adults believe foreign students count as immigrants and 59 per cent oppose efforts to reduce their numbers.\nUniversities UK, the teaching unions, the National Union of Students and many local authorities representing university towns have made clear their stance on this issue and have urged the government to change course, yet when it comes to his issue, it seems that the Prime Minister is too weak to accept she is in the wrong.\nIn contrast, Labour believes international students are welcome here.\n* From http://www.writeyou.co.uk/international_students_enrich_us_all",

        "raw_content": "With such a fantastic device as the digital camera for the recreation of magic in arts, a lot of care needs to be taken so as to maintain the perfection of the end product. This perfection is not only obtained by the artistic feeling of the photographer but also with the intricate knowledge of every minute aspect of the medium of creation of art (in this case the digital camera). And these minute aspects play a vast role in defining the ultimate perfection. The digital camera, light and depth of field are one such factor that would come into light in this subsequent discussion. Basically, the depth of field is a measurement of the acceptable sharpness. Yet this is very strictly a personal preference, and varies from person to person.\nThus to be more formal, the depth of field can be defined as the area inside an image that demonstrates an ample sharpness that can be considered more or less in focus. So the depth of field is the range of distance, measured along the lens axis, as per which the image is caused to be sufficiently well and sharp in the photograph. The rest is as follows!\nThe depth of field defines the zone where all elements show clearly from foreground to background. Three factors control the depth of field in an image, they are the distance of the subject, the focal length, and the aperture used to capture the photograph. For people using compact digital cameras, one of the subjects of out of the ordinary interest is the depth of field because depth of field is more easily said than done to control with a compact digital camera than with earlier conventional analog film cameras. The minute imaging sensors of compact cameras need the use of short focal lengths, and this in sequence gives these compact digital cameras an extraordinarily long depth of field when compared to other cameras. Thereby, with intent obtaining a shallow depth of field is more complicated.\nConsidering a general acceptable fact, the depth of field decreases, as the image gets nearer to the camera. This means that as the focal point reaches closer to the lens, the achievable scope of the depth of field ebbs. On the other side, if the image is far enough distant from the camera, and for digital cameras, this must not be very far, the depth of field approaches out to infinity. Another important point to be noted is that the depth of field is proportional to the lens opening.\nHaving discussed the above important aspects of the light and depth of field of a digital camera, it is clear that the minute details make such great subjects whose knowledge becomes equally important for making appropriate use of the fantastic device, the digital camera! And the digital camera, light and depth of field comes out to be such important factors that can make all the difference if a photographer remains oblivious about this knowledge. A small factor thus can meal a big divergence!",

        "title": "Senior Speech: The Beauty of Boredom",
        "raw_content": "Senior Speech: The Beauty of Boredom\nBy Tyler Williams '19\nImagine I put you in a room for 15 minutes. The room had nothing but a chair, a desk, and a button. When pressed, this button would send a high voltage electric shock that would pulsate through your entire body, and cause immense pain. Out of common sense, for the 15 minutes you were in the room, you wouldn\u2019t hit the button. Right?\nWell, according to research done in the school of psychology at one of the most prestigious Ivy League schools, the pain of boredom will supersede the feeling of physical pain almost every time. In a Harvard study, a person will press the button more than 90% of the time, and usually within 3 minutes.\nTerrible feelings like physical pain, nausea, and heartbreak are all caused by dangerous things, but boredom is just a general disinterest in what\u2019s going on. We feel it all the time, but we never realize how important that feeling actually is. Boredom is important to me because on the surface, it seems so trivial, yet it is one of the main reasons why humans have developed into the beings they are today.\nNow, imagine I put you in a room with a chair, a desk, and something thousands of times more painful than an electric shock button: a Webassign. It was in this situation last year when I had a relatively simple observation that, in my mind, became a revelation.\nBoredom is one of the main reasons why humans have developed into the beings we are.\nWhile I was mindlessly guessing numbers to produce that fabled green check, for some reason, still unbeknownst to me, I looked at the science textbook in front of me for what it really was.\nIn my moment of boredom, instead of seeing the object that had been causing me such despair and anxiety, I saw a collection of thousands of years of knowledge with hundreds of the greatest minds to ever live, who poured their hearts and souls into discovering the concepts found in this textbook. At the same time, I looked up and saw my teacher, who I realized had studied the subject for many years and had a passion for it that he wanted to share, far stronger than any of my own passions. It was in this simple moment of boredom when my revelation came to me, and it resulted in my deeply exploring the possibilities of the mind when bored.\nJust as I was studying science when I had my breakthrough moment, I started my research on the scientific aspects of boredom. Unlike most topics, though, I found the scientific aspect simple and straightforward. The most shocking statistic I found was that when bored, overall brain activity only drops about 5%. But, in this bored state, MRI scans show that the parts of the brain responsible for feeling sympathy and empathy are greatly increased, which accounts for my revelation. But I also learned, during this bored state, parts of the brain responsible for creating hypothetical events, and imagining, had greatly increased activity. This fact leads us all the way back to prehistoric times. In those times, humans were the only species who were able to find food, water, and shelter, so effectively that there was time left in the day to think, ponder, and have the ability to maybe experience a hint of boredom. Just like I did in that classroom, prehistoric humans were able to have the same types of revelations, except for them it was fire, tools, and even civilization. This boredom could very well be what pushed us as a species away from the cycle of food, water, shelter, sleep, and propelled us into the successful species we are today.\nAfter learning that I was intrigued, no doubt, but how did that help me. I\u2019m not in a population of prehistoric cavemen, although sometimes I feel like it. I\u2019m just a high school student who deals with boredom often in my day-to-day life. The scientific understanding of boredom didn\u2019t cut it for me. I needed to understand what boredom means, not just how it occurs.\nWhen studying the philosophical side of boredom, I found two schools of thought. The first was a rather dismal way of thinking, that if life actually had any real value, or any content whatsoever, we would never feel bored. Or in contrast, the other school of thought says boredom is one of the most sublime emotions, as it shows that the human spirit and mind are greater than anything the universe has to offer.\nI am not sure if I completely agree with either school of thought, but, as I was reading through these old documents and the writings from philosophers like Schopenhauer and Leopardi, I kept thinking to myself, simply\u2026 It\u2019s not that deep. It\u2019s really not that deep, because the boredom I feel, the boredom we feel as high school students, isn\u2019t the same profound boredom that ancient philosophers felt. It\u2019s just that feeling of indifference, detachment, maybe even pointlessness when we are in the middle of class, lunch, heck, even at a party. It\u2019s not that we don't see the value in our surroundings. I\u2019m sure many of you had my same revelation years ago. It\u2019s just that in those moments, there is something going on in your own head that is more commanding than any outside stimulus.\nBoredom is one of the most sublime emotions.\nIn those seemingly pointless moments of boredom, the real beauty of boredom actually shines. In those moments, the brain enters what is called the \u201cdefault mode\u201d. It is this mode that sets you to your most foundational and basic state, and your personality is at its core. In those moments of boredom, your brain is at its most malleable as it is accessing its most basic thought process.\nI remember what parents, mentors, and motivational speakers told me about high school. When I look over at the freshman class, I know you guys have heard the same thing. They said \u201chigh school is where you find yourself.\" But that is not true, because there is no \u201cyou\u201d floating around in the cosmos to be found. Everything you want, everything you achieve, is created by your not found. It took me seventeen and a half years to figure out that you have to create yourself. It is how, in those most basic moments of seemingly pointless boredom, that you make the decisions as to who you really are. You can choose to fill them with creativity, ambition, and brilliance, or if in those moments of blissful boredom, you think mean thoughts, that\u2019s the type of person you will be. If you think ideas, you think goals, you think success, that\u2019s the person you will become, that\u2019s the person I want to go to school with.\nIf you take away one thing from my comments, it should be that in those tiny, insignificant moments where your brain is at its most basic, that\u2019s where you create who you are. Next time you are bored, please don\u2019t let it go to waste. Understand that in that moment, you have the potential to take a step towards the person you have always wanted to create. Embrace the boredom.\nTyler gave the second of a series of Senior Speeches in a format based on Edward R. Murrow's \"This I Believe\" commentaries at Community Time. Last spring, all rising seniors were invited to participate in Senior Speeches. The students met with Mrs. Hillinck over the summer to develop their topics, draft, edit, and practice their delivery. Mrs. Hillinck worked with students in a similar capacity at her last school, Chestnut Hill Academy, and said it was one of the most rewarding things she did because of the peer feedback and confidence it gave the speakers.",

When the campground opens on the long weekend in May, the migratory birds are often in full flight making quiet early-season visits to the campground a special treat.\nThe East Shore Camparks\u2019 Rec Association organizes many social events for the campers and guests. These activities include weekly card tournaments, pot-luck dinners, dances, fishing derbies, game nights, corn and marshmallow roasts, and special long-weekend events such as our family day weekend on the civic holiday in August. We wrap up the summer with a special labour day weekend bash, with a huge BBQ on the week-end and live band or musical impersonators with dancing also held on the same weekend.\nWe have a final thanks giving dinner within the last couple of weeks in the season. The campground remains open until Thanksgiving weekend in October.",

        "raw_content": "Proximity is key\nKota Jababeka is part of the Cikarang district and lies about 35 kilometer east of Jakarta's central business area, with the Java sea to the north. The strong economic growth in Cikarang, seen by the large number of multinational companies operating in the area, has attracted a big workforce, especially many expatriates. For them, proximity is key. They prefer to live where they work, so that they don't have to spend hours in traffic. However, they also want everything they need close by, such as familiar shopping facilities, dining and entertainment, medical facilites, and recreational surroundings to relax outdoors - all of this is easily accessible in Jababeka.\nGolf Course provides green setting\nThe Ecoloft Jababeka Golf Serviced Apartments are only minutes away from business parks, satellite cities and major malls, but also in the middle of fresh air and green space - the townhouses are built in the midst of the 67-hectare Jababeka Golf & Country Club. Designed by world-class golfer Nick Faldo, Jababeka offers the challenges of an 18-hole championship course while providing lush landscaping, green scenery and a tranquil environment. The clubhouse comes with a recreational swimming pool, two tennis courts, a children's playground, a massage service, a restaurant, and VIP and function rooms for important business deals.\nFor more information go to: www.jababekagolf.co.id\nNew industrial hub\nThe Indonesian Government has defined Cikarang/Jababeka as one of the key development areas. Many new property projects, both industrial and residential, are currently build up in this new bustling city, and it quickly became the new residential place of choice for expatriates. A lot of international companies are now establishing their offices in Cikarang, knowing that this is the new industrial hub of the greater Jakarta area. Currently, some 4,000 companies are operating in Cikarang, with several thousand expatriates working in the area. Actually, the abundance of expatriate workers from Japan and Korea has transformed the region into an \"Asian city\", and into one of the biggest industrial estates in Southeast Asia that represents the diversity of various Asian ethnicities.\nIn line with the constant establishment of companies and offices in Cikarang as well as the high demand for expatriate workers, new shopping centers and restaurants also flourish in the city.\nVarious shopping facilities, e.g. Farmers Market around the corner (walking distance)\nMany Japanese and Asian restaurants as well as all well-known international brands (e.g. Starbucks)\nLippo Cikarang (\"Little Toyko\")\nVariuos new shopping malls (the well-known Plaza Indonesia builds 6 towers on 15'000 hectares)\nNew project: Orange County (currently one of the biggest projects in Indonesia), built by Lippo\nJababeka can be conveniently accessed from the Bekasi-Cikampek toll road with its own exit/entrance ramp. The driving time between Jababeka and central Jakarta by car is approximately 1 hour, however commuting is not recommended due to the daily traffic jams. To make the area even more attractive as a living and working place, the local government is currently talking about building various supporting infrastructure, such as a train from Jakarta to Cikarang. Aside from railway transportation, talks are underway to construct an airport in the Cikarang area to meet the needs of the economic growth. Aside from an airport, the Cilamaya port will be built in the northern part of Karawang. The dry port in Jababeka serves as an extension of the Tanjung Priok international port gateway, and another port will be built in the northern part in the near future.",

According to the Cambridge Judge Business School, investors channeled almost $500 million into real estate last year through such platforms.\nWhile most crowdfunding sites cater only to accredited investors (those earning more than $200,000 per year or with a net worth of more than $1m) easing SEC regulations are gradually opening the field up to non-accredited investors. Some sites open the door to investments as small as $1,000.\nData released this month by San Francisco-based RealtyShares, show that to date 90 real estate properties in California have benefited from a total of $53 million in financing through its crowdfunding platform, with some individual investments as small as $5,000. While most of these deals were for debt or equity for residential real estate investments, sixteen commercial projects have received funding via the platform including an apartment complex in the Bay Area and a shopping center in Sacramento.\nCrowdfunding is another example of greater efficiency in the real estate capital market being made possible through the use of technology. While real estate financing in the larger institutional commercial real estate capital marketplace (think, properties valued at +$10M) is unlikely to be replaced by such platforms, there is clearly a growing appetite among small investors looking to participate in commercial real estate.",

        "raw_content": "Regular readers will know that we\u2019ve just bought our first house, and I\u2019ve been been deep in Pinterest for weeks, searching for decor inspiration and ideas. My shopping feels like it\u2019s been a little bit out of control, but when you move into a place that\u2019s finally yours and you don\u2019t need permission to put your own stamp on things then it\u2019s easy to go wild!\nAmong all the madness I\u2019m still preparing to have a baby, and in the past few weekends have been along to hypnobirthing classes. If you\u2019ve never been to a hypnobirthing class, it\u2019s not really about hypnosis \u2013 there\u2019s no swinging pocketwatches, or pregnant women walking around pretending to be chickens. It could well be called a positive birthing class, and you learn relaxation, massage and meditation techniques to get yourself physically and mentally ready for labour and birth.\nControlling your emotions and facing your fears are key, because in the lead up to labour it\u2019s important to get your body producing plenty of oxytocin \u2013 the love hormone that your brain releases when the mood is right. There\u2019s several ways to get your body releasing it, so I\u2019ve been exploring quick and easy ways get it flowing.\nOne of the easiest ways is to create an atmosphere with dimmable lights, whether it\u2019s with an LED dimmer switch on the main light or by using floor lamps in the corners of your living room. Gradually lowering the levels of light in the room creates a mood that gets you feeling fine and whether you realise it or not \u2013 loved up! Studies have shown that every time you dim the lights your brain produces a little bit of oxytocin, helping you feel relaxed, positive and a little bit happier.\nRight now our house just has regular old switches, so I\u2019m going to get them replaced with dimmers and when my husband finally chooses which floor lamp he likes I\u2019ll make sure he picks one with a dimmer too. It\u2019s not just good for preparing for labour in the coming weeks, but I\u2019m sure that when one of us needs to come downstairs in the night with the baby we won\u2019t appreciate being blasted with light if we can\u2019t bring it up slowly to the right level.\nHow do you create a happy and relaxed mood at home? Have you got dimmers or have you tried something like the Philips Hue bulbs? Hop on Twitter and let me know!\n*this post is in collaboration with LED hut, who asked me to write about lighting inspiration in my new home!\nhomelightinglovePregnancy\nBlogger Interview series!",

        "raw_content": "Emperor and King Charles IV had many monumental edifices built, but paid special attention to the Cathedral of St. Vitus at the Prague Castle. He wanted it to be a Gothic masterpiece - a stone epitome of faith, the symbol of royal majesty, the see of the archbishop, the cult center of the land patrons, the place of royal crowning and the royal as well as national necropolis. No other church in Europe plays so many roles of great importance.\nThe project of Matthias of Arras, the first architect of the cathedral, was literally one of the architectural wonders of that time. Commissioned to build a Gothic house of prayer in Prague modeled after cathedrals in Southern France, he inconspicuously modified the assignment according to his own ideas and local traditions. The approach of his successor Peter Parler was so distinctive, ingenious and yet architecturally risky that he fell afoul of backthen recognized rules. Looking at the cathedral, originally consecrated to the unknown Sicilian martyr Vitus and built in the heart of our capital city, from afar, up close and from inside, people are in awe of its impressive grandness even now in the 21st century. The Prague cathedral is not the oldest, largest or highest cathedral in Europe, but is unparalleled with its breathtaking balance. It is 124m long, 60m wide and over 33m high. The Southern Spire, which is almost 100m high, has become the landmark of the capital city. Over 8,000 people can hear the word of God inside this sacred place all at once.\nEnglische Version des Buches Prager Dom",

        "raw_content": "Taiwan: A Unique Anniversary Fair (Photos)\nDecember 18, 2005 | By Li Changbo\n(Clearwisdom.net) Taiping Elementary in Taichung County held its 187th Anniversary Fair on December 10, 2005. The warm sun finally shone on this day after days of chilly, windy weather. The Falun Dafa Association at Taiping Elementary was established two years ago. Members of this group are children from the third to the sixth grade. They get together during lunch break on Wednesdays to read Zhuan Falun and do the exercises as a group.\nThe children were happy to know in early November that they would have a chance to demonstrate the five sets of Falun Gong exercises in front of the whole school and many of the children's parents at the anniversary fair. They think it is their honor and responsibility to introduce Falun Dafa. They rehearsed the exercises in the following weeks. The organization's sponsor teacher helped correct their movements. It was tiring sometimes, but nobody complained. It was a very peaceful atmosphere.\nThe children do exercises in a group\nOn the day of the Anniversary Fair, the children were so skilled in demonstrating the exercises to the peaceful music that everyone was fascinated. Teachers, students and parents were totally quiet and focused their attention on this group of innocent children. Some people couldn't help but follow their exercise movements. The demonstration received warm and long applause.\nThe Falun Dafa Association also collected signatures to rescue Falun Gong children under persecution in Mainland China. One student asked for a postcard to sign even before the booth was set up. A parent asked many questions about the persecution after watching a video about the children under persecution. She was shocked to know that such a brutal persecution of innocent people still exists in the 21st century. A mother and her daughter were in tears after watching the video. A Canadian signed right after reading the postcard.\nSignature collection to rescue Falun Gong children in Mainland China\nThe signature collection booth embodied the spirit of compassion, which made it stand out among all the booths at the fair. Many people asked for details after watching the video about the persecution of Falun Gong. About 500 people signed within one hour and a half. It was an unforgettable experience for the children and adults alike.\n\u201cSalem, Oregon: Falun Gong Practitioners Win Award at Festival of Lights Holiday Parade (Photos)\u201d\n\u201cInternational Human Rights Day and Six Million Withdrawals\u201d",

The funds for the site were raised by 1853.\n\"At long last \u2026 we have purchased an estate three miles from Croydon on the trunk line of the Dover and Brighton Railway.

The proceeds established the Reedham Trust.[3] The orphanage's Purley site is now occupied by Beaumont Primary School.\nReedham Trust[edit]\nThe Trust fulfills the original intent of the asylum by funding a boarding school education for children who through loss or incapacity of their parents, need to attend a boarding school.

He spent most of his life stemming the growing power of the House of Hohenstaufen and to this end, allied himself with the House of Guelph.\nConrad I was a son of Duke Berthold II and his wife, Agnes of Rheinfelden.[1] In 1120, Conrad I and his elder brother Berthold III granted city rights to Freiburg. In 1122, Conrad I succeeded Berthold III as Duke of Z\u00e4hringen.\nIn 1127, he came into conflict with Count Renaud III of Burgundy, because both men claimed the inheritance of Conrad's murdered nephew William III. In this situation, he benefitted from the situation Emperor Lothar III found himself in. Lothar III urgently needed support against his Hohenstaufen rivals, and he supported Conrad's claim. He rejected Renaud's claim, with the dubious argument that Renaud had failed to comply with his duty to attend the Emperor's court. Conrad received the title Rector of Burgundy, which denoted, as least theoretically, a kind of representative of the Emperor in the Kingdom of Burgundy.\nIn 1138, King Conrad III of Germany grabbed power and the power conflict between the Guelphs and the Hohenstaufen relaxed. Until the late 1150s, the Dukes of Z\u00e4hringen were among the Hohenstaufen's most loyal supporters.\nConrad I died in 1152 and was buried in the family vault in the Abbey of Saint Peter in the Black Forest.\nConrad was married to Clementia of Luxembourg-Namur and had at least five children:\nBerthold IV, duke of Z\u00e4hringen[1]\nAdalbert I, founder of the line Dukes of Teck[1]\nClementia, married Henry the Lion[1]\nRudolf, Archbishop of Mainz[1]\nHugh, Duke of Ullenburg[1][2]\n^ a b c d e f Lyon 2013, p. 249.\n^ Hugo named himself for his seat in Ullenburg, and he inherited possessions in Breisgau and Ortenau.

        "raw_content": "Howard Shumann rates \"Precious\" an A-. <Editor's Note>\nFriedrich Nietzsche said, \"That which does not kill us makes us stronger.\"\nSince Nietzsche died insane, he is probably not the best authority on the subject. For Clareece \"Precious\" Jones (Gabby Sidibe), however, strength is measured by her ability not only to survive but to grow -- to experience a sense of self worth.\nSet in Harlem in 1987, the film Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, dramatizes an obese 16-year-old's struggles with illiteracy, physical, sexual, and verbal abuse and her struggles to raise two children, one with Down Syndrome. To say that director Lee Daniels stacks the deck against her is an understatement, but the film is not a case study to be dissected and analyzed. Instead, it is a deeply human portrait of a lonely survivor who is able to begin a process to overcome a deeply embedded sense of worthlessness.\nThe film is not an unrelenting litany of horror, though there is plenty to go around. There are pockets of humor, loads of melodrama, and moments of beauty tucked in amongst the ugliness. Director Daniels also lightens the mood with episodes of daydreams in which Precious pictures herself as a fashion model or a popular celebrity or falling in love with her Math teacher who takes her to the suburbs. The fact that the audience roots for Precious is not automatic, however. It is earned by the performance of newcomer Gabby Sidibe who makes her character's bravery, determination, and willingness to reach out to others for support very real.\nEager to escape from flying TV sets, frying pans, and verbal put downs by her welfare mother Mary (Mo'Nique), Precious enrolls in an alternative school called Each One, Teach One in which a sympathetic instructor Ms. Rain (Paula Patton) takes her under her wing and begins to teach her to read and write. She is also aided by a supportive social worker Mrs. Weiss (Mariah Carey), who, like the misunderstood approach of Werner Erhard in the 70s, uses a kind of \"ruthless compassion\" to get a beaten-down Precious to open up and communicate her feelings. She also finds a loving nurse known only as Nurse John (Lenny Karvitz) who assists her in the birth of her second child.\nAlthough her mother eventually reveals her long hidden humanity in a monologue, it is too little, and too late. It is clear that her mother gave up on herself and on life a long time ago but her execrable behavior towards her daughter is not redeemable by her expressions of anguish.\n\"Precious\" is not subtle and perhaps overstates its case, but it may accurately mirror the conditions of thousands of children whose abuse flies under the radar of society's eyes. It is melodramatic, for sure, but it is a powerful film that dramatizes a young woman's drive for selfhood in a way that not only allows us to feel her pain but also to rejoice in her hope.\n\"I'm going to break through, or someone is going to break through to me,\" Precious says - and we believe her.",

Project Report. University of Gloucestershire, Gloucester.\nGood practice NGB CSP report March 2013 140313 Final Report.docx\nOfficial URL: http://insight.glos.ac.uk/academicschools/dse/rese...\nIntroduction Between October 2011 and October 2012, 15.51 million people engaged in sport at least once per week, an increase of just above the targeted 1% rise from the previous year (Sport England, 2012). Additionally, there are more than 1.1 million people delivering coaching in the UK (North, 2010). Despite the considerable number of people impacted by the work which goes on between County Sport Partnerships (CSPs) and National Governing Bodies (NGBs) of sport, to date there have been no formal investigations into the effective functioning of these collaborations. Aims included: To establish what impact a successful partnership between CSPs and NGBs should deliver for sports coaching To determine the enablers for successful partnership working between CSPs and NGBs Methods A standardized online questionnaire targeting nationwide responses from NGBs and CDMs on a range of aspects which have been shown to be critical to partnership working was completed by 36 respondents. In addition, 12 telephone interviews were conducted. Representatives included NGB officers (n = 6) and CDMs (n = 6). Quantitative data revealed that respondents were generally happy with decision making processes, although CDMs perceived their influence to be greater than did their NGB counterparts. Examination of partnership characteristics showed consistent, strong, correlations between communication and four measures of effectiveness including satisfaction (\u03a4 = 0.566) and ownership (\u03a4 = 0.534). The quantitative data revealed a complicated relationship between perceived challenges and benefits. Qualitative data revealed that the vast majority of respondents considered the establishment of the ECN as a positive step. In particular, partners perceived the flexibility of the ECN enabled CDMs to provide a needs-led approach to coach development which greatly benefitted the workforce. Conclusions Findings demonstrate that CSPs and NGBs are committed to developing high quality coaching through a range of formal and non-formal opportunities. The ECN functions well as a flexible rather than a prescriptive template for CDM-NGB interaction allowing partnership arrangements to take place on a \u2018needs-led\u2019 localised basis.",

        "raw_content": "Metal-free MRI contrast agent could be safer for some patients\nWednesday, July 12, 2017 - 07:32 in Physics & Chemistry\nTo enhance the visibility of organs as they are scanned with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), patients are usually injected with a compound known as a contrast agent before going into the scanner. The most commonly used MRI contrast agents are based on the metal gadolinium; however, these metal compounds can be harmful for young children or people with kidney problems. Researchers from MIT and the University of Nebraska have now developed a metal-free contrast agent that could be safer to use in those high-risk groups. Instead of metal, this compound contains organic molecules called nitroxides. Furthermore, the new agent could be used to generate more informative MRI scans of tumors because it can accumulate at a tumor site for many hours without causing harm. \u201cThis is an entirely organic, metal-free MRI contrast agent that would allow cancer researchers to start to think about how to image tumors in a dynamic way over long...\nTumor-targeting MRI contrast developed, based on human protein\nResearchers develop tumor-targeting MRI contrast based on human protein",

        "raw_content": "Ob/Gyn \u2013 the unexpected specialty\nIt has been a while since I posted here and I thought I would catch up really quick. It has been a long few months, with lots of soul searching and questions. Finally it came to an end with the start of my rotation on Ob/Gyn. I am now at the end of it and can say that it was nothing like I expected. I know I went in to medical school thinking there is no way I could do Ob/Gyn but now I would have to say it isn\u2019t on the bottom any more, it has jumped past Medicine, Peds, Psych, Surgery, etc. That isn\u2019t saying much but I could definitely see a fellowship in Ob fitting in my plans. Wow, never figured on saying that. Oh well, minds change and my rotation has been filled with a bunch of great residents and attendings. I have a new respect for what they do and will say that delivering babies never gets old.\nAlive, but swamped\nFor all my friends and family that haven\u2019t heard from me in a while, I am still alive. Just a tad bit busy with med school. Nothing much interesting to post about right now. Just lots and lots of studying i.e. get up study and then go to bed. I really don\u2019t do anything else right now (except I made a DVD for the M4 class as a graduation gift). I\u2019ll post more about that later. First order of business is passing all my classes.\nMed School, the second year (Cont . . .)\nIt is incredible how much difference a year can make. I am enjoying medical school so much more then last year. Everything we are studying is clinically relevant. This past Wednesday we learned how to do a spinal tap. Every week there is so much cool stuff to learn. We studied Dermatology this week and the previous three weeks we mainly studied the respiratory system. Before that we studies rheumatology, cardiology and something else I can\u2019t think of right at the moment. It has been really\nEvery two weeks this year we have a test over the material from the last two weeks. We have comprehensive exams with one in the end of Nov. and the other in March before we take the first step of the USMLE. It was weird already scheduling the exam. Just one year ago I was like a deer staring into an oncoming headlights and now am registering to take the first step of the USMLE. One doctor told me before I started medical school that it is like a treadmill and that it doesn\u2019t stop until You come out the other end as a MD.\nOne thing I\u2019ve come to understand is how differently the same thing can look to two different people. I\u2019ve heard the medical school is like trying to take a sip of water out of a fire-hydrant. I\u2019ve also heard it equated to your favorite dessert except you have to eat 10 helpings at every meal. Well, I found a video on You Tube that illustrates the point really well. If you haven\u2019t seen \u201cFinding Nemo\u201d then you might not understand. But this video takes a really nice children\u2019s movie and makes it seem like an action packed thriller.\nAll I can say, is I can\u2019t imagine being anywhere else right now. Right life is med school and med school is life. What an incredible life.\nWell, it is official. Finished my first year in medical school. We are still considered M1s by the school until end of May but we started our new classes last Monday. I think this year is going to be much better in terms of interesting material. Everything we are learning now is clinically relevant making it much easier to study. The only problem is the quantity of material covered. We started four new classes for this block Pathology (9 hrs), Neurology (7 hrs), Pharmacology (6 hrs) and Microbiology (6 hrs) for a total of 28 credits. When we come back next fall we will add another class Pathophysiology (12 hrs) for a total of 40 credit hours. With all the book work, it is hard sometimes to remember why I came to medical school. It is hard to remember that there are stories of patients on the other end of every question, case and lecture. To not disconnect all the information from the thought that someone is affected by this or that disease. I guess the time will come for connecting and remembering why, right now the task is to learn it.",

        "raw_content": "In December 2018 in Zagreb, Croatia, the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) Adria organized a roundtable discussion \u201cWho is responsible for responsible fisheries\u201d. The aim of the roundtable was to foster dialogue among the key national and international stakeholders responsible for fisheries in Adriatic, and to identify the actual and potential issues together with its solutions. \u201cFish stocks in the Mediterranean Sea are deteriorating at an alarming rate, and the Adriatic Sea is no exception. Open dialogue with all the sector\u2019s stakeholders is key to the recovery of our resources and fisheries industry in Croatia. The mission of WWF is to facilitate effective cooperation among fishermen, administration and scientists,\u201d stated Danijel Kanski, Marine Program Manager at WWF Adria in his opening remarks at the event.\nThe event gathered 40 participants from fisheries sector including fishermen, representatives of FLAGs, producer organisations, processors, international organisations, Croatian Chamber of Economy (HGK), NGOs and Ministry of Agriculture. During a panel moderated by Lav Bavcevic, University of Zadar, seven panellists presented their views on current issues and steps needed for resolving them ensuring sustainable fisheries in the Adriatic.\nPero Ugarkovic (recreational and sport fishing sector, Podvodni.hr) emphasized the importance of institutional trust, whereas \u0160imer Kosor (processor, Omega 3) underlined the need for a better understanding of state of marine resources. Prof. Sanja Matic Skoko (Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Split) highlighted the need for all parties involved to take collective responsibility, whereas Marin Mihanovi\u0107 (Ministry of Agriculture) pointed to the necessity for cooperation between all stakeholders for better results. Lav Bavcevic closed the discussion thanking the organisers for their initiative and stating that general opinions had to be based on knowledge not on assumptions.\nMore in this category: \u00ab Turkey has completed and launched the world\u2019s largest wellboat The EU landing obligation comes into effect \u00bb",

        "raw_content": "As part of ongoing research into trying to improve the prediction of harmful algal blooms, fieldwork is now taking place in Shetland.\nPaul Dees, a UHI PhD student based at SAMS, Oban and NAFC in Shetland is funded by the European Social Fund. Paul released drifters with 10m long drogues. It is hoped that studying the movement of the drifters will give an idea of currents acting on algae on the west of Shetland.\nThe location was chosen as a response to particularly large blooms of Dinophysis spp. which were advected into shore by winds in 2006 and 2013. Preliminary evidence suggested that where the water depth reaches around 100m depth might be an area for algal blooms to form and grow.\nThe drifters were released on the 31th May 2018, just to the west of St Magnus Bay. One drifter was released close to where water depth is 100m and has drifted around Papa Stour before traveling southwards. The two other drifters which were deployed a little further out have travelled south and are now drifting northwest.\nIt is interesting to see the effect of tidal currents, as the drifters can sometimes be seen to move in big loops.

        "raw_content": "Category: Citizens\nEnd Citizens United: The Peoples Fight for Campaign Finance Reform\nOn January 21st, 2010 the United States Supreme Court decided Citizens United V. F.E.C by a 5-4 decision. The Court held that the free speech clause of the first amendment prevents the government from restricting political expenditures by corporations and other associations. Citizens United v. F.E.C. revolutionized the landscape of American elections. It established the legal precedent for the idea that \u201cCorporations are people\u201d with the same rights as citizens, opening the door for special interests to spend unlimited amounts of money in American elections.\nOn March 1st, 2015 the people decided to fight back by forming End Citizens United; a grassroots Political Action Committee dedicated to reforming our campaign finance system. End Citizens United is working toward this goal by electing pro-reform candidates, raising awareness to the corrosive nature of money in politics, and using the ballot referendum process to pass pro-reform laws at the state level.\nCampaign finance advocates should find hope in polling. Campaign finance reform has become a key talking point and a hot-button issue among voters. Surveys show Americans overwhelmingly support groups pushing for policies that would create public financing or limit corporate money in politics. A recent study shows that almost 90% of Americans believe that the influence of special interests negatively effects government. Research conducted by End Citizens United itself reported that two out of every three voters believe the amount of money in politics affects peoples daily lives.\nHaving endorsed 87 candidates to date, End Citizens United is supporting a wide array of pro-reform candidates. From political heavyweights such as Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi to Randy Brice, Speaker Paul Ryan\u2019s Democratic challenger, End Citizens united hopes to usher in leaders that will end the rigged system and reform our campaign finance laws.\nEnd Citizens United will connect these campaigns with local grassroots supporters at the state and district level. End Citizens United has also built a 380,000 small-dollar national donor network with the hopes of being able to raise massive amounts of money to help fight corporate donations. This cycle, End Citizens United has already raised more than $3 million for its endorsed candidate from thousands of small-dollar grassroots donors. End Citizens United estimates project that they will raise $35million for the 2018 cycle, with an average donation of $14. For more info about us: https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup2.php?strID=C00573261 click here.\nCitizens United destroyed a century\u2019s worth of legal precedent aimed at reducing the amount of corruption in our electoral system. The people, however, are taking a stand to reject corporate Super PAC money and make sure that politicians are accountable to their constituents rather than special interests. Overturning Citizens United would mean that anyone could run for office, no longer limited by monetary or financial constraints. It would give us an electoral system that more fairly and accurately represents us, the people.\nAuthor adminPosted on October 22, 2017 June 1, 2018 Categories Citizens, PoliticsTags Nancy Pelosi to Randy BriceLeave a comment on End Citizens United: The Peoples Fight for Campaign Finance Reform",

        "raw_content": "Dead sports leagues live again online.\nWith all the money and excitement generated by the NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball it\u2019s easy to forget that professional sports leagues don\u2019t usually survive over the long haul. The United States Football League (USFL, 1983-86), World Football League (WFL, 1974-75), American Basketball Association (ABA, 1967-76) and World Hockey Association (WHA, 1972-79) are all pro leagues that fell by the wayside within the last 25 years. But thanks to their colorful histories, these leagues\u2014and others\u2014live on through dedicated tribute Web sites.\nAs one might expect, stability was not the hallmark of any of these leagues. In the WHA, things were so touch-and-go that four of the 10 charter franchises moved before the inaugural season. In its seven-year history, no more than 14 clubs competed at one time, yet the league registered more than 30 different franchises\u2014four of which ceased operations in mid-season.\nProblems weren\u2019t isolated to the front office. Catastrophes took place on the ice as well. The Philadelphia Blazers first-ever home game was canceled when the Zamboni destroyed a portion of the ice. And, in the \u201975 playoffs Calgary Cowboys forward Rick Jodzio instigated an infamous bench-clearing brawl by attacking Marc Tardif of the Quebec Nordiques. Tardif suffered severe head and brain injuries (not to mention the obligatory loss of teeth) and Jodzio later pled guilty to the attack in a court of law.\nTurbulent times coupled with ill-conceived innovations were the norm for the World Football League, which lasted only two seasons. Some teams didn\u2019t even make it that long, including the Chicago Fire, which forfeited its last game in \u201974 following 10 consecutive losses. WFL players and coaches never knew what to expect. In the two days before the first and only post-season tournament, the league revised the playoff format three times. And before the 1975 campaign, owners considered instituting a wacky rule that would require offensive lineman, receivers and backs to wear different color pants, with defensive lineman, linebackers and backs also required to don contrasting colors.\nOf all the tribute sites, the most colorful and comprehensive is remembertheaba.com, which pays homage to the ABA\u2014best known for its distinctive red, white & blue ball. Featuring an \u201cABA Fashion Guide\u201d and an \u201cOnly in the ABA\u201d section, the site highlights the eccentricities of a league that frequently orchestrated silly off-the-court events in an effort to attract attention. One franchise\u2014the Floridians (1968-72)\u2014changed team colors three times, called six different arenas \u201chome,\u201d and possessed ball girls who were arguably more famous than the team.\nPerhaps the most notable link on the \u201cRemember the ABA\u201d site is one to aba2000.com\u2014the official site of the ABA. That\u2019s right, the ABA is coming back in November of this year, with at least eight teams and a 60 game schedule. Like its forefather, the new (and presumably improved) ABA will feature its own innovations. For instance, the players won\u2019t have to be concerned about illegal defense or fouling out, and teams will receive a bonus point for every basket scored following the creation of a turnover in the opponents\u2019 backcourt. Referring to the spirit of the original ABA and the parity that it soon achieved with the NBA the official site notes, \u201cHistory is about to repeat itself.\u201d Hopefully, not including the part about the league folding.\nWeighty Words\u2014A chat with the slow fat triathlete.\nDon\u2019t Put Me In, Coach\u2014Mark Titus on his \u201cincredible NCAA journey from the end of the bench to the end of the bench.\u201d",

A Chinese version is also available here.\nQuestions From China Snag U.S. Trial Of Nerve-Rerouting Procedure\nSCIENCE VOL 330 5 NOVEMBER 2010 Published by AAAS\nA running 5-year medical brawl in China has spilled over into Michigan, where it has delayed a clinical trial about to enroll patients. The trial, based at the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, aims to surgically reroute the nerves of spina bifida patients to give them control of their bladder. Principal investigator Kenneth Peters confirmed last week that the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)\u2014which is funding the work\u2014has asked for a review.\nThe urologist who invented the nerve-rerouting procedure, Xiao Chuan-Guo, has claimed phenomenal results in China\u2014including an 87% success rate for 110 spina bifida patients at their 1-year follow-up visits. But the controversy surrounding his work is phenomenal, too. Earlier this year police charged Xiao, head of urology at the Union Hospital affiliated with Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, with organizing street attacks on two of his critics. Those injured were Fang Shimin, who under the pen name Fang Zhouzi operates the Xin Yu Si or New Threads Web site (www.xys.org), and journalist Fang Xuanchang (no relation to Fang Shimin), who has edited magazine articles about Chinese patients who failed to benefit from Xiao\u2019s procedure.\nXiao was convicted of \u201ccausing disturbance\u201d and sentenced to 5.5 months of detention (http://scim.ag/doctor-sentenced-Beijing). He has appealed the verdict. Science sent a request for comment to Xiao\u2019s lawyer by e-mail but did not receive a response by presstime.\nQuestions about the clinical trial in Michigan based on Xiao\u2019s procedure reached the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in March, when the so-called New Threads Volunteers, a watchdog group that tracks Xiao\u2019s research, sent a letter to the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) and the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP). The letter alleged, among other things, that \u201cthe current clinical trials in the United States are based on dubious data.\u201d\nORI declined to take action, according to Eddie Cheng, a blogger, software engineer, and member of the Volunteers, who mailed letters about Xiao\u2019s study to ORI and OHRP. Cheng says ORI wrote back in March that the allegations weren\u2019t specific and that Xiao\u2019s work in China was out of its jurisdiction. Last week, however, OHRP confirmed in an e-mail to Cheng that it had asked the funding agency to evaluate the allegations.\nXiao has many friends in the scientific community. Peters, head of urology at the Beaumont Hospital, and 30 researchers signed an open letter in support of Xiao in September urging China to \u201cprotect his human rights\u201d and praising Xiao as \u201ca compassionate man who is respected worldwide for his integrity and his innovative scientific contributions to society.\u201d\nXiao developed a nerve-rerouting procedure to treat neurogenic bladder disorder in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Nerve crossover was first proposed by an Australian surgeon in 1907; medical literature holds a scattering of partial success stories. But Xiao\u2019s approach\u2014which he proposed in the late 1980s\u2014bypasses the central nervous system by grafting a lower lumbar nerve to one or two sacral nerves below the spinal cord lesion, rerouting signals to bladder and urinary muscles. Xiao claims to have established a new pathway that can be used to initiate voluntary urination by scratching or squeezing skin on the thigh.\nAfter testing the idea on rats and cats, Xiao applied for and received an NIH grant in 1994 to study dogs at the Long Island College Hospital in Brooklyn, New York. According to his own published account, Xiao began a trial of the procedure with Chinese SCI patients at a hospital affiliated with a coal mine in Henan Province in 1995 and published final results from the SCI patients in 2003 in The Journal of Urology. This peer-reviewed article reported that of 15 male SCI patients\u2014all with hyperreflexic neurogenic bladder (involuntary voiding)\u2014 who had the surgery, 10 gained satisfactory bladder function, two had partial recovery, two failed, and one was lost to follow-up.\nCritics see inconsistencies in the data. For example, in early reports (some in Chinese), Xiao described patients\u2019 recovery taking place between 10 and 12 months post-op, but the 2003 final report says that patients gained bladder function 12 to 18 months post-op. In addition, the depiction of all 15 patients as hyperreflexic in the 2003 report seems at odds with Xiao\u2019s previous reports, which described treating a mix of patients with hyperreflexic bladder and areflexic bladder (failure to void).\nEric Kurzrock, chief of pediatric urology at the University of California, Davis, Children\u2019s Hospital in Sacramento, California, says Xiao\u2019s study is \u201cextremely flawed\u201d because of \u201cpatient selection bias.\u201d Kurzrock is particularly critical of the claimed high success rate, because it is not based on data from a randomized, controlled trial.\nAfter treating SCI patients, Xiao began using nerve rerouting to treat bladder malfunction in children with spina bifida, whose spinal cords are generally not as damaged as those of SCI patients. The first privately funded trial at Beaumont Hospital, which took place in 2006 and 2007, included nine spina bifida patients and two SCI patients; Peters and co-authors reported preliminary results from spina bifida patients, but results on SCI patients have not been reported. The current NIH-funded trial aims to enroll about 16 spina bifida patients; the original design was not blind and had no control group. Peters says NIH has \u201ccreated an oversight committee for our study. We met with them a few weeks ago and are addressing their comments. We will be submitting a revised protocol soon for their review.\u201d\nLabels: Fang Zhouzi (\u65b9\u821f\u5b50), media, Xiao Chuanguo (\u8096\u4f20\u56fd)\nScience: Questions from China Snag U.S. Trial of N...",

But one thing is clear: it will likely have changed internal KMT dynamics and relations with Beijing forever\nWith two years left in the second and last term of Ma Ying-jeou\u2019s presidency, Taiwan has been embroiled in a political crisis since March 18 that will have serious, and possibly long-lasting, repercussions on the dynamics within Ma\u2019s Kuomintang (KMT) and the island\u2019s relationship with China. After a nearly three-week-long standoff at Taiwan\u2019s Legislative Yuan, a surprise intervention by Speaker Wang Jin-pyng\u2014who has promised to meet one of the key demands made by the Sunflower Movement\u2014has led to an announcement by the activists that they would vacate the legislature on April 10 and bring to an end one of the island\u2019s most serious political crises in recent years. Despite the apparent success of Wang\u2019s move, his intervention risks reigniting a factional feud within the KMT and is no guarantee that the government will proceed in a way that meets the expectations of the movement, which has vowed to punish the KMT in future elections if the Ma administration fails to deliver.\nAt the heart of the controversy lies the Cross-Strait Services Trade Agreement (CSSTA) signed between Taiwanese and Chinese negotiators in Shanghai in June 2013.\nMy analysis, published today in China Brief at the Jamestown Foundation, continues here.

(Photos by John King Tarpinian.)\nBy John King Tarpinian: The Saturday evening tribute to Ray was very beautiful and moving. The hall sat 4,000 people and followed a Gleek Fest. I know of a few people who attended the Glee event in order to get a good seat for the tribute.\nEven with having a line-up and an outline we had fifteen minutes to set-up and decide how to actually do the panel. It was decided to take the tables off the stage and have a single podium so each speaker would be able to give their personal tribute to Ray.\nSam Weller was the organizer-host (The Bradbury Chronicles, Listen to the Echoes & Shadow Show). He shared podium duties with Mark Evanier (Kirby: King of Comics). Each tribute was separated by video clips of Ray over the decades.\nFirst up was Rachel Bloom who had prepared a PG-13 version of her Hugo-nominated song. When she came on stage she asked the assembled masses if they wanted to hear the CENSORED version or the real version. Not one person in the hall opted for the CENSORED version and Rachel added some audience \u201ccall & response.\u201d\nA number of the people who spoke have known Ray for half a century or more, William F. Nolan, George Clayton Johnson and Stan Freberg. Both Bill and George let people know how Ray helped those two young writers. If you youngins\u2019 do not know the name Stan Freberg, just Google \u201cRay Bradbury Stan Freberg prunes\u201d then sit back and prepare to laugh out loud. Ray introduced Stan\u2019s wife to him and was best man at their wedding.\nJoe Hill gave a lovely tribute, of course. He mentioned he had only met Ray the one time at the 2010 Comic-Con and that a man came over to him asking if he\u2019d like to say hello to Ray. I am proud to say that I was \u201cthat man.\u201d Joe also read a moving tribute from Frank Darabont.\nMargaret Atwood had never met Ray and was supposed to visit him earlier this week but that was not to be. She talked about how she read, as a young girl, Ray\u2019s books as they first came out. That she used some of his themes in her books. In The Handmaid\u2019s Tale she used that women were not allowed to read because of Fahrenheit 451.\nMarc Scott Zicree told how he first met Ray. As a young man, Marc had done a \u201cmixed tape\u201d mashing up various audio renditions of Moby Dick. Marc handed this out to a few friends. A copy wound up with Ray. Marc says he came home one day to find a message from Ray on his answering machine asking him to call. Marc was afraid he was in trouble when in fact Ray loved the tape and they became fast friends.\nOn a final personal note, the only times I attended Comic-Con were with Ray. Not a bad way to visit the zoo. I did not speak but in talking to the guest speakers backstage I told how Ray\u2019s hearing aids really did not work well with the den of noise in the hall but that hundreds of times an hour you could hear people shout out such phrases as, \u201cOMG it\u2019s Ray Bradbury.\u201d \u201cI LOVE YOU RAY.\u201d \u201cTHANK YOU Ray.\u201d But the one that really got to me was when a young father and his son, who was riding on his shoulders said to the son, \u201cThere goes Ray Bradbury the greatest writer of all time.\u201d Once a man came up to Ray, got down on his knees bowed three times, got up and just walked away without saying a word. There were lots of laughs, hugs and tears backstage and that will be how I will always remember Comic-Con.\nThis entry was posted in Conventions, In Passing and tagged Comic-Con, George Clayton Johnson, Joe Hill, John King Tarpinian, Marc Scott Zicree, Margaret Atwood, Rachel Bloom, Ray Bradbury, Sam Weller, Stan Freberg, William F.

        "raw_content": "If you are searching for a way to gain additional income, putting money into stocks may be the avenue for you. The amount of profit to be made is astounding. The fact is that making as much as possible requires a good foundation of knowledge to reach success. Keep reading to learn the essentials for success in the stock market.\nHave realistic investment expectations. It is generally understood that success does not happen overnight without taking on inadvisable high risk investments. Avoid this kind of unrealistic thinking, which can lose you a fortune, and invest for the long-term.\nA long-term plan is wise if you want to make a lot of money from a stock market investment. There is a certain amount of inevitable unpredictability to the stock market, so a reasonable plan with realistic goals will keep you focused. Hold onto stocks for however long it takes to meet your profit goals.\nRemember that stocks are not just simple pieces of paper that you buy and sell for trading purposes. While you are a stock owner, you own a part of a company. Realize that this gives you entitlement to both their asset earnings and claims. In several cases, you can vote in major corporate leadership elections.\nPrior to signing up with a broker, you should always see what fees will be involved. Entry and exit fees should be considered. These fees can take a significant chunk out of your profits over time.\nGo ahead and vote, take advantage of it if you do own some common stocks. Depending on your company\u2019s charter, you could possess voting rights when electing directors or when there are proposals for large changes in a business, such as a merger. Voting occurs during the company\u2019s annual shareholders\u2019 meeting or through the mail by proxy voting.\nAnytime you choose to make a stock investment, keep your outlay to less than ten percent of available funds. This way, if the stock you have goes into free fall at a later time, the amount you have at risk is greatly reduced.\nWhen searching for stocks then look into those that get you a greater return than 10%, which is the market average, because you can actually get that type of return from index funds. To figure the potential stock return, add the dividend yield to the growth rate of projected earnings. Stocks yielding 4% and which have a 10% earnings growth rate may produce a return of 14%.\nInvesting in damaged stocks is okay, but refrain from investing in damaged companies. When there is a downturn in the stock value of a company, it is the ideal time to get a good price, but only do this if the downturn is temporary. A company who couldn\u2019t keep up with demand, for example, will only be facing a temporary setback. If the company\u2019s stock dropped in value because of dishonesty, greed or scandal, however, the stock might never recover.\nAs stated earlier, investing in stocks is a really good method to increase your income. Educating yourself on this complicated subject is the best way to increase your profits. If you take heed of the advice featured above, it won\u2019t be long before you are a stock market investment guru.\nPosted in Nyc FinanceTagged everyone, market, stock",

The conceptual solution of the collection was made in 1969 by Professor Matko Rojni\u0107, an Istrian who was the director of the National and University Library in Zagreb. The accompanying legends were edited in 1975 by his associate, librarian \u0160ime Juri\u0107, the head of the Rare Books Collection. The artistic interpretation of the collection was designed by the artist from Labin, Eugen Kokot, academic painter and restorer, later a Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. Photo enlargements were made by the artistic photographer Nino Vrani\u0107 and by Eugen Kokot. The coordinator for creating the exhibition was the curator of the Museum, Tullio Vorano. Associates and consultants, especially for construction works, were the architectural engineer Giulio Rocco and engineer Kre\u0161imir Palameta. Particular support in the completion of the collection was given by the president of the Executive Council of the Municipal Assembly of Labin, Mr. Anton Paliska.

        "raw_content": "The Florida Center for Inclusive Communities recognizes that good health is vital to enjoy all other life activities. People with developmental disabilities often have difficulty accessing appropriate high quality healthcare oftentimes because health care providers lack training or familiarity with the supports people with developmental disabilities need. FCIC is addressing this issue by undertaking activities that either a) educate health care providers to be sensitive to special health needs of people with disabilities, or b) assist individuals and their caregivers to be proactive about knowing and communicating their own health needs across their lifespan. FCIC's health activities are coordinated by Dr. Elizabeth Perkins.\nTraining Healthcare Providers\nFCIC collaborates with the USF's Morsani College of Medicine to provide the innovative Health Care of Persons with Disabilities' Module.

        "raw_content": "Acupuncture has been clinically shown to be an effective treatment for insomnia. It releases sleep-friendly hormones such as serotonin and generally has a calming effect on the nervous system. Acupuncture also relieves chronic pain, which is a frequent cause of sleeplessness. Acupuncture for insomnia works by encouraging Qi (energy) flow in the body that had been blocked.\nPatients visiting an acupuncturist for relief from insomnia can expect a thorough examination and many questions about their health and life. This is because it takes a holistic approach and seeks to restore balance and harmony to the patient\u2019s physical, mental, and spiritual state. There is no one, single prescription for treating insomnia. Each practitioner uses their understanding of the patient as a whole to determine which meridians to focus on and which points along those meridians to stimulate with hair-thin acupuncture needles. Herbs may also be prescribed, along with diet and lifestyle changes.\nThe longer a patient has insomnia, the longer it will take to gain control of the problem through acupuncture. One professional estimate is that one month of treatment is required for every year the patient has suffered insomnia. Once all contributing factors are addressed, the patient should a better night sleep and become more energized through out the day!\nIf you, a friend, or family member is needlessly suffering, OR just wants to live a healthier, happier life, contact us today to learn how we can help - 201-655-1290 or choijoanacp@yahoo.com\ufeff.\ufeff\ufeff",

        "title": "Facebook Introduces 'Reactions' To Expand Beyond The 'Like' Button | Fortune",
        "raw_content": "Facebook's Iconic 'Like' Button Gets More Emotional\nFacebook is about to shake up one of its most iconic symbols: the \u201clike\u201d button.\nAfter months of speculation\u2014and even leaks of early tests\u2014the social network is finally giving users more options for reacting to all the baby photos, exasperating news stories, and cute kitten videos posted on the service. Now, they will be able to select one of six icons to express how they feel.\nAlong with the famous light blue thumb, the icons now include a read heart (\u201clove\u201d), a laughing face (\u201chaha\u201d), a surprised face (\u201cwow\u201d), a tearing face (\u201csad\u201d), and an angry face (\u201cangry\u201d). To select one, users hover above or tap the \u201clike\u201d button until a menu of options pop up.\nFacebook chose the five newcomers after roughly a year of brainstorming, data crunching, and various tests, Facebook News Feed engineering director Tom Alison told Fortune in an interview. In particular, the team took a deep look at trends in user comments, especially short comments of one to three words, and the cartoon-like image some people use in place of comments that Facebook introduced in 2014.\n\u201cIt became pretty clear that it wasn\u2019t going to be about \u2018like\u2019 or \u2018dislike,\u2019 and it wasn\u2019t going to be 100 reactions,\u201d Alison said about his team\u2019s decision. In the end, it was about keeping things simple, he added.\nFacebook also wanted its new options to be universal. Today, the social network is available in almost all countries, and in more than 70 languages. As part of its research, Facebook ran tests in a handful of countries including Spain, Ireland, and the Philippines to see how the new icons translated across languages and cultures. Early tests with reactions \u201cyay!\u201d and \u201cconfused,\u201d for example, didn\u2019t fare well with all users, according to Alison, so they didn\u2019t make the cut.\nSince Facebook first introduced the \u201clike\u201d button in early 2009, some users have clamored for a \u201cdislike\u201d button. However, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has dismissed the idea largely over concerns that it would make online bullying easier, something social media services already work hard to combat.\nBut according to former Facebook designer Soleio Cuervo, who is often credited for the original \u201clike\u201d button\u2019s design, the delay in adding alternatives hasn\u2019t been because of sheer stubbornness.\n\u201cIt\u2019s not like Facebook was religious about it being a single option,\u201d he told Fortune in an interview. Although he\u2019s yet to try the new options, he says they appear to be very much in the spirit of the original button. \u201cI think it\u2019s a terrific idea,\u201d he added.\nThe shift to mobile devices is also critical to making the new buttons work. In 2009, smartphones had barely caught on, Facebook had no mobile strategy, and Cuervo\u2019s team was thinking in terms of what worked best for desktop computers.\n\u201cThe \u2018like\u2019 button was for a point-and-click environment,\u201d he explained, while the new reactions seem to be designed for smartphone users.\nStill, the new options are a big departure from Facebook\u2019s lone \u201clike\u201d button, and are likely to anger some users. It\u2019s also unclear how Facebook will use the reactions to tailor what users see in their personalized News Feeds. While \u201clikes\u201d have been interpreted as positive signals for Facebook\u2019s algorithm, the new reactions could bring more nuance. For the time being, Facebook won\u2019t distinguish between the different buttons, but down the line, they could be used to help avoid incidents like photos of dead family members appearing in a user\u2019s year-end photo montage just because they received at lot of \u201clikes\u201d as a form of empathy.\nBut for now, Facebook is focused on rolling out the new reactions buttons globally over the next few days.\nAn earlier version of this article misquoted former Facebook designer Soleio Cuervo about Facebook\u2019s philosophy on adding alternatives to its \u201clike\u201d button. He said the company was always open to other \u201coptions,\u201d not \u201caccents.\u201d The article has been updated.",

Early on Monday, U.S.-China trade talk resumptions and a strong jobs market report in the U.S. helped markets feel more hopeful. MSCI\u2019s world equity index, tracking stocks in 47 countries, was at an almost three-week high by Sunday night.\nShortly after some optimism in Asia, European stocks took a dive. The culprits: no-deal Brexit preparations, surveys predicting slower growth in the Eurozone, and U.S. government shutdown day 17.\nWall Street traders and investors continue to have the jitters. Each day brings a new mix of news driving volatility, with no one certain as to whether a given bit of information will be seen as good or bad. Increased recession fears aren\u2019t helping.\nStock futures activity on Monday first showed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down, with the Dow up slightly. In under an hour, it was Nasdaq down a touch, the S&P 500 up just a bit, and the Dow showing a 0.2% increase.\nThe Nasdaq negativity might have something to do with Chinese investment in U.S. tech, as Reuters reported. Venture funds from China poured $3 billion into startups here. But Donald Trump\u2019s moves to limit China\u2019s access to American innovation have stopped the money flow.",

        "raw_content": "This model proposes 2 possible mechanisms for the phenomenon that is called gravity.\nPossible Mechanism 1\nGravity is an effect created by bridging fotons. The force connecting each pair of fotinis, collectively acts to connect separate matinos and cause them to orbit each other.\nIn this mechanism, the energy required for accelerating the matino to cause orbital motion is provided by the foton bridge. This model has not yet explored the source of this energy. It is potentially at odds with the conservation of energy.\nGravity is an effect created by the absorption and emission of fotons - not a distinct fundamental force.\nEach time a foton is emitted, a fraction of its energy contributes to changing the path of the matino (or body of matinos) so that it maintains its orbit around the other matino (or body of matinos).\nThis mechanism provides a mechanical source for the energy required for rotational motion. Yet it also does not explore the source of energy of the foton.\nBoth mechanisms lead to the same issue with the conservation of energy. My preference is to choose the simpler. However, it is observation and evidence that will make the final choice. Not convenience.",

        "title": "Learning from Gandhi | Freepress.org",
        "raw_content": "This reflects not just my belief that he gave the world inspiration, ideas and powerful strategies for tackling violence in a wide range of contexts but because my own experience in applying his ideas has proven their worth. This included his awareness that led him to declare that \u2018If we are to make progress, we must not repeat history but make new history. We must add to the inheritance left by our ancestors.\u2019 and his encouragement to reflect deeply and listen to one\u2019s \u2018inner voice\u2019: \u2018you should follow your inner voice whatever the consequences\u2019 and \u2018even at the risk of being misunderstood\u2019.\nIn essence, we can productively learn from history but we can build on it too. And, vitally, this includes dealing more effectively with violence.\nSo how did Gandhi influence me?\nShortly after midnight on 1 July 1942, my Uncle Bob was killed when the USS Sturgeon, a U.S. submarine, fired torpedoes into the Japanese prisoner of war (POW) ship Montevideo Maru. The ship sank immediately and, along with 1,052 other POWs, Bob was killed.\nApart from his older brother, my father\u2019s twin brother was also killed in World War II. In Tom\u2019s case, he was shot down over Rabaul on his first (and final) mission. He was a wireless air gunner on a Beaufort Bomber. See \u2018The Last Coastwatcher: My Brothers\u2019.\nMy childhood is dotted with memories of Bob and Tom. The occasional remembrance service, war medals and the rare story shared by my father.\nIn 1966, the year I turned 14, I decided to devote my life to finding out why human beings kill each other and to work out how such killing could be ended. The good news about this \u2018decision\u2019 is that, at 14, it all felt manageable! But I wasn\u2019t much older before my preliminary investigations proved that even understanding why humans are violent was going to be a profound challenge. And I intuitively understood that I needed this understanding if any strategy to end violence was to be effective.\nIn any case, as one might expect, my research into violence and strategies for addressing it led me to nonviolence. I came across virtually nothing about nonviolence during my own studies at school and university but was regularly presented with news reports of people participating in activities \u2013 such as demonstrations and strikes \u2013 that I later learned to label \u2018nonviolent action\u2019.\nIn 1981 I decided to seek out materials on nonviolence and nonviolent action so that I could learn more about it. I had not been reading for long when the routine reference to Mohandas K. (or Mahatma) Gandhi, about whom I had heard a little and knew of his role in leading the Indian independence struggle, forced me to pay more attention to his life and work. So I sought out his writing and started to read some of his published work. An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth was an obvious and early book but there were many others besides. I also read many books about Gandhi, to get a clearer sense of his life as a whole, as reported by his coworkers and contemporaries, as well as documented by scholars since his death. And I spent a great many hours in a library basement poring over The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi.\nThe thing that struck me immediately about Gandhi was that his own interest in tackling violence had a comprehensive \u2018feel\u2019 about it. That is, he was not just interested in the violence that occurs when nations fight wars or one person kills or injures another. He was interested in addressing the violence that occurs when individuals and nations exploit other individuals/nations (such as when British imperialism exploited India and Indians) and the violence that occurs when a structure (such as capitalism or socialism) exploits the individuals within it. In his words: \u2018exploitation is the essence of violence\u2019. He was interested in the violence that occurs when members of one social group (say, Hindus) \u2018hate\u2019 the members of another social group (such as Muslims). He was interested in the violence that occurs when men oppress women or caste Hindus oppress \u2018untouchables\u2019. He was interested in the violence that occurs when humans destroy the environment. And he was interested in the violence that one inflicts on oneself.\nThis comprehensive interest resonated deeply with me because, apart from war, my own childhood and adolescence had revealed many manifestations of violence ranging from the starvation of people in developing countries to the racism in the United States (highlighted by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. during the 1960s) to the destruction of the environment, each of which had gradually but deeply embedded itself in my consciousness. Tackling violence was a far bigger task than the large one I had originally imagined. Violence is everywhere. Most importantly, it seemed to me, there was enormous violence directed against children in the family home but little was spoken or written about this.\nSo how did Gandhi explain violence and what was his strategy for addressing it?\nGandhi on Conflict and Violence\nFor Gandhi, conflict was a perennial condition. He also viewed it positively and considered it desirable. For him, it is an important means to greater human unity precisely because their shared conflict could remind antagonists of the deeper, perhaps transcendental, unity of life, which is far more profound than the bond of their social relationship.\nHe viewed violence differently, however. And, as might be gleaned from the many configurations of violence that concerned him, as noted above, he considered that violence was built into social structures and not into people.\nFundamentally, as Leroy Pelton characterized it, Gandhi understood that the truth cannot be achieved through violence (\u2018which violates human needs and destroys life\u2019), because violence itself is a form of injustice. In any case, violence cannot resolve con\ufb02ict because it does not address the issues at stake.\nTo reiterate then, for Gandhi there was nothing undesirable about conflict. However, Gandhi\u2019s preoccupation was working out how to manage con\ufb02ict without violence and how to create new social arrangements free of structural violence. The essence, then, of Gandhi\u2019s approach was to identify approaches to con\ufb02ict that preserved the people while systematically demolishing the evil structure. Nevertheless, he \ufb01rmly believed that structural puri\ufb01cation alone is not enough; self-puri\ufb01cation is also essential.\nIn other words, in Gandhi\u2019s view, resolving the con\ufb02ict (without violence) is only one aspect of the desired outcome. For Gandhi, success also implies the creation of a superior social structure, higher degrees of fearlessness and self-reliance on the part of both satyagrahis (nonviolent activists) and their opponents, and a greater degree of human unity at the level of social relationships.\nDespite the enormous influence that Gandhi had in shaping my own conception of conflict and the precise conception of nonviolence that should be used in dealing with it, I nevertheless remained convinced that two questions remained unanswered: What is the psychological origin of the violent behavior of the individual who perpetrates it? And what theory or framework should guide the application of nonviolent action so that campaigns of all kinds are strategically effective?\nThe first question is important because even if someone is trapped within a social structure (such as the class system) that is violent, the individual must still choose, consciously or unconsciously, to participate (as perpetrator, collaborator or victim) in the violence perpetrated by that structure or one must choose, consciously, to resist it. Why do so many individuals perform one of the first three roles and so few, like Gandhi himself, choose the role of resister?\nThe second question is important because while Gandhi himself was an astonishingly intuitive strategic thinker (whose 30-year nonviolent strategy liberated India from British occupation), no one before him or since his death has demonstrated anything remotely resembling his capacity in this regard.\nHence, while nonviolence, which is inherently powerful, has chalked up some remarkable successes, vital struggles for peace (and to end war); to halt assaults on Earth\u2019s biosphere; to secure social justice for oppressed and exploited populations; to liberate national groups from dictatorship, occupation or genocidal assault; and struggles in relation to many other just causes limp along devoid of strategy (or use one that is ill-conceived). So badly are we failing, in fact, that humans now teeter on the brink of precipitating our own extinction. See \u2018Human Extinction by 2026? A Last Ditch Strategy to Fight for Human Survival\u2019.\nAnyway, having studied Gandhi extensively and learned from his strategic approach to nonviolence (elements of which I was progressively including in nonviolent campaigns in which I was involved myself), I resumed my original research to understand the fundamental origin of human violence and also decided to develop a strategic theory and framework for addressing violence in the campaign context so that Gandhi\u2019s strategic thinking could be readily copied by other nonviolent activists.\nIt turned out that developing this strategic theory and strategy was simpler than the original aim (understanding violence) and I have presented this strategic thinking on two websites: Nonviolent Campaign Strategy and Nonviolent Defense/Liberation Strategy.\nDespite my preliminary efforts in the 1990s to encourage fellow activists to use this framework, it soon became clear that only the rarest of activists has the capacity to think strategically about an issue, even when presented with a framework for doing so.\nThe Origin of Human Violence\nConsequently, the vital importance of understanding the origin of human violence was starkly demonstrated to me yet again because I knew it would answer key supplementary questions such as these: Why to do so many people live in denial/delusion utterly incapable of perceiving structural violence or grappling powerfully with (military, social, political, economic and ecological) violence? Why is it that so many people, even activists, are powerless to think strategically? How can activists even believe that success can be achieved, particularly on the major issues of our time (such as the threats of nuclear war, ecological devastation and climate cataclysm), without a focused and comprehensive strategy, particularly given elite resistance to such campaigns? See \u2018The Global Elite is Insane Revisited\u2019.\nHence, in an attempt to answer questions such as these, Anita McKone and I went into seclusion in an endeavor to understand how our own minds functioned so that we might better understand the minds of others. I hoped it would take a few months. It took 14 years.\nSo what is the cause of violence in all contexts and which, depending on its precise configuration in each case, creates perpetrators of violence, people who collaborate with perpetrators of violence, people who are passive victims of violence, people who live in denial/delusion, people who are sexist or racist, and activists who cannot think strategically (among many other adverse outcomes)?\nEach of these manifestations of human behaviour is an outcome of the adult war on children. That is, adult violence against children is the fundamental cause of all other violence.\nHow does this happen? It happens because each child, from birth, is socialized \u2013 more accurately, terrorized \u2013 so that they fit into their society. That is, each child is subjected to an unrelenting regime of \u2018visible\u2019, \u2018invisible\u2019 and \u2018utterly invisible\u2019 violence until they offer the obedience that every adult \u2013 parent, teacher, religious figure... \u2013 demands.\nSo what constitutes \u2018visible\u2019, \u2018invisible\u2019 and \u2018utterly invisible\u2019 violence?\n\u2018Visible\u2019 violence includes hitting, screaming at and sexually abusing a child which, sadly enough, is very common.\nBut the largest component of damage arises from the \u2018invisible\u2019 and \u2018utterly invisible\u2019 violence that we adults unconsciously inflict on children during the ordinary course of the day. Tragically, the bulk of this violence occurs in the family home and at school. For a full explanation, see \u2018Why Violence?\u2019 and \u2018Fearless Psychology and Fearful Psychology: Principles and Practice\u2019.\n\u2018Invisible\u2019 violence is the \u2018little things\u2019 we do every day, partly because we are just \u2018too busy\u2019. For example, when we do not allow time to listen to, and value, a child\u2019s thoughts and feelings, the child learns to not listen to themSelf thus destroying their internal communication system. When we do not let a child say what they want (or ignore them when they do), the child develops communication and behavioral dysfunctionalities as they keep trying to meet their own needs (which, as a basic survival strategy, they are genetically programmed to do).\nWell, if you want to make an enormous contribution to our effort to end violence, you can make the commitment outlined in \u2018My Promise to Children\u2019. If you need to do some healing of your own to be able to nurture children in this way, then consider the information provided in the article \u2018Putting Feelings First\u2019.\nIf you want to systematically tackle violence against the biosphere, consider (accelerated) participation in the fifteen-year strategy, inspired by Gandhi, outlined in \u2018The Flame Tree Project to Save Life on Earth\u2019. This project outlines a simple plan for people to systematically reduce their consumption, by at least 80%, involving both energy and resources of every kind \u2013 water, household energy, transport fuels, metals, meat, paper and plastic \u2013 while dramatically expanding their individual and community self-reliance in 16 areas, so that all environmental concerns are effectively addressed. As Gandhi observed 100 years ago: \u2018Earth provides enough for every person\u2019s need but not for every person\u2019s greed.\u2019\nBut, critically important though he believed personal action to be, Gandhi was also an extraordinary political strategist and he knew that we needed to do more than transform our own personal lives. We need to provide opportunities that compel others to consider doing the same.\nSo if your passion is campaigning for change, consider doing it strategically, as Gandhi did. See Nonviolent Campaign Strategy.\nAnd if you want to join the worldwide movement to end all violence against humans and the biosphere, you can do so by signing the online pledge of \u2018The People\u2019s Charter to Create a Nonviolent World\u2019.\nGandhi was assassinated on 30 January 1948. But his legacy lives on. You can learn from it too, if you wish.",

It is increasing at more than 5% a decade, and in spite of a lot of discussion and proposed actions, the increase is unabated. It is higher than it has been in more than eight hundred thousand years. As a result of the increase the worlds ocean temperatures has risen on average 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit and the land temperature has risen an average of 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Much of the increase has occurred since 1970. There is really little debate in the scientific communities worldwide that the cause of the increase is mostly due to the increase in carbon dioxide.\nThree Hurricanes in the Atlantic this year were categories 4 or 5. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria were very destructive. All formed over waters that were warmer than average. Hurricanes and typhoons get their energy by removing heat from ocean water. With higher sea surface temperatures these storms can rapidly intensify. If the water is warmer at higher latitudes they can stay stronger. Hurricane Ophelia became a category 3 hurricane in the northeast Atlantic and did great damage to Ireland. It was the strongest hurricane ever to form in the northeast Atlantic.\nOn land, many areas are having record heat and drought. In our area, the years 2009 , 2015, and 2017 had the highest numbers of days with temperatures over 90 degrees. The extended summer drought and heat in the Columbia River Gorge set the stage for a fire that began on September 2nd and burned an area almost 50,000 acres. The fires in Northern and Southern California burned thousands of homes and killed dozens of people. Like here, California experienced an extremely hot summer. Portugal and Spain have had terrible wildfires that have killed well over 100 people. In the rest of the European Union, the number of fires has doubled over the past few years. The fire season is starting earlier and lasts longer.\nThere is an intense debate about climate change in the US. Our president has placed many agencies in the hands of climate change deniers with ties to oil and coal. Their claim is that the science is flawed and that there really is not a scientific consensus about climate change or even its causes.\nThe goal of the Paris accords, from which Donald Trump has removed the United States, was to curb emissions world wide to prevent an increase of global temperatures of over 2 degrees Centigrade. The scientific community argues that if emissions are not cut, our world could see a temperature increase of 5 degrees Centigrade or more by 2100.\nSo, who to believe? It may help to look at the evidence and how it was obtained. If it is so very important for the future of our planet, then it is worth taking time to consider it. In the next post there will be some references to help with that.\nelizabethmadrigal says:\nThanks for speaking out. Certainly we need to believe our own eyes. We are failing future generations with our selfishness in not addressing climate change to the best our our capabilities. The country that put a man on the moon 50 years ago can\u2019t discipline itself enough to reverse this? We can vote for school bonds, road repairs, healthcare for everyone and other wonderful social programs until the cows come home, but if we don\u2019t address climate change, none of it will matter.\nThank you for the information and for speaking up! Looking forward to reading more.",

Under the plan (HB 8006) anyone vetted and approved by the merit selection system for a judgeship would be eligible for any other judgeship of the same court for at least 5 years. The original merit selection plan in operation from 1994 to 2007 required a person reapply and be reexamined for each new vacancy. The eligible-for-five-years plan first started in 2008 and has been renewed every year since (HB 7829 of 2008, HB 5567 of 2009, SB 2645 of 2010, SB 686 of 2011, HB 8043 of 2012, and SB 471 of 2013).\nThis eligible-for-five-years program met with some resistance last year (coverage here) over accusations of politicization when the governor nominated in May 2013 a former Senate president for a Superior Court vacancy based on the former Senator\u2019s vetting in August 2010. Gavel Grab had done extensive coverage of the issue.

        "title": "Greens and Libertarians",
        "raw_content": "Greens and Libertarians\nThe yin and yang of our political future\noriginally appearing in Green Revolution, Volume 49, No. 2, summer, 1992\nOver the past three decades, people have become dissatisfied with both major parties, and two new minor parties are showing promise of growth and success. They are the Libertarian Party and the Green Party. These are not the only new parties, but they are the only ones that promise to attract people from across the political spectrum. Most other small parties are either clearly to the left of the Democrats or to the right of the Republicans. Such parties would have a place in a system that accommodates multiple parties, but are doomed to failure in a two-party system.\nThe Libertarian Party is made up mostly of former conservatives who object to the Republican Party's penchant for militarism and its use of government to entrench powerful interests and shield them from market forces. The Green Party is made up mostly of former liberals who object to the Democratic Party's penchant for centralized bureaucracy and its frequent hypocritical disregard for natural systems of ecological balance, ranging from the human metabolism and the family unit to the ecology of the planet.\nBoth minor parties attempt to adhere to guidelines that are much clearer than those of either major party. Libertarians focus on rights of individuals to control their own lives, limited only by the prohibition against interference with the rights of others. These rights include their right to the fruits of their labor and the right to freely associate and form contracts. They advocate limiting government to protecting those basic rights.\nGreens advocate ten key values (ecological wisdom, grass roots democracy, social justice, non-violence, decentralization, community-based economics, post-patriarchal values, respect for diversity, personal and global responsibility, and sustainable future focusas a guide for government as well as for their own party organization.)\nThese different guidelines underscore basic differences between the approaches of the two parties and their members. Libertarians tend to be logical and analytical. They are confident that their principles will create an ideal society, even though they have no consensus of what that society would be like. Greens, on the other hand, tend to be more intuitive and imaginative. They have clear images of what kind of society they want, but are fuzzy about the principles on which that society would be based.\nIronically, Libertarians tend to be more utopian and uncompromising about their political positions, and are often unable to focus on politically winnable proposals to make the system more consistent with their overall goals. Greens on the other hand, embrace immediate proposals with ease, but are often unable to show how those proposals fit in to their ultimate goals.\nThe most difficult differences to reconcile, however, stem from baggage that members of each party have brought with them from their former political affiliations. Most Libertarians are overly hostile to government and cling to the fiction that virtually all private fortunes are legitimately earned. Most Greens are overly hostile to free enterprise and cling to the fiction that harmony and balance can be achieved through increased government intervention.\nRepublicans and Democrats will never reconcile these differences, for whatever philosophical underpinnings they have are overwhelmed by vested interests that dominate their internal political processes. These vested interests thrive on keeping the distorted hostilities alive and suppressing any philosophical perspectives that might lead to rational resolution of conflict.\nBut because minor parties have no real power, they are still primarily guided by values and principles. Committed to pursuing truth above power, they should be more willing to challenge prejudices and expose flaws in their current positions.\nThere is nothing mutually exclusive between the ten key values of the Greens and the principals of the Libertarians. By reconciling these values and principles, we can bring together people whose allegiance to truth is stronger than their biases.\nThis could be of great value to both parties, partly because any new party that wants to break into a two-party system has to appeal to a broad spectrum of voters. But even more importantly, each party needs attributes the other has to offer. Libertarians need the intuitive awareness of the Greens to keep them from losing touch with people's real values, and Greens need the analytical prowess of the Libertarians to keep them from indulging in emotional self-deception. Libertarians can teach Greens about the spirit of enterprise and the wonders of economic freedom, and Greens can teach Libertarians about the spirit of compassion and the wonders of community cohesion.\nReconciliation is absolutely necessary. Even if one of the parties could rise to power, it could do great harm by implementing its current agenda in disregard for the perspective of the other. Moreover, proposals that violate values and principles of one party often violate those of the other. If members of both groups come together to discuss each other's proposals, they are likely not only to find areas of agreement, but to find conflicts between each group's proposals and its own principals. If this happens, and the two parties work in concert, they stand a real chance of overtaking one of the major parties and drastically altering the political power structure.\nMany third parties have had important impacts on American politics, but the last time a political party was dislodged was when the Republicans knocked the ailing Whig party out of contention over 130 years ago. It should be noted that the Republicans were a coalition of several minor parties with seemingly differing agendas, including the Abolitionist Party, the Free-Soil Party, the American (or Know-Nothing) Party, disaffected northern Democrats, and most of the members of the dying Whig Party. A similar coalition of parties has a much better chance of repeating this success today.\nAnyone who looks at current national platforms of Greens and Libertarians will conclude that bringing these groups together is no easy task. For example, the Libertarian platform states dogmatically that they \"oppose any and all increases in the rate of taxation or categories of taxpayers, including the elimination of deductions, exemptions, or credits in the name of 'fairness,' 'simplicity,' or 'neutrality to the free market.' No tax can ever be fair, simple, or neutral to the free market.\" On the other hand, the national platform of the Greens leaves one with the impression that they never met a tax they didn't like.\nYet the historical roots of the Greens and the Libertarians are quite similar. That is, early movements for alternative, intentional communities that live in harmony with nature greatly influenced, and were influenced by, anarcho-syndicalists who advanced principals now embraced by the Libertarian Party. This essay will attempt to show that the differences that have emerged are due less to stated principals and values of either group than to the baggage members have brought to each party from their liberal and conservative backgrounds.\nOn Conservatism and Liberalism\nIt is said that Libertarians have a conservative philosophy and Greens have a liberal philosophy. In reality, conservatism and liberalism are mere proclivities, and do not deserve to have the name \"philosophy\" attached to them. People who have more power than others are inclined to conserve it, and people who have less are inclined to liberate it. In Russia, as in feudal England, conservatives wanted more government control, as government was at the root of their power. Liberals wanted more private discretion.\nIn the United States today, where power has been vested in private institutions, conservatives want less government and liberals want more. What passes for conservative and liberal \"philosophies\" is merely a set of rationalizations that power-mongers hide behind.\nConservative support for traditional approaches and liberal support for new ways of doing things also follows from the desire for power. Traditional approaches have supported those now in power, and change threatens to disrupt that power. Changes are often embraced by conservatives once they prove unable to disrupt the underpinnings of power.\nFor Greens and Libertarians to rise above the power-based proclivities of liberalism and conservatism, they must focus on their roots and reconcile their positions with their philosophical underpinnings.\nOn the Roots of the Greens\nIn The Green Alternative, a popular book among American Greens, author Brian Tokar states that \"the real origin of the Green movement is the great social and political upheavals that swept the United States and the entire Western world during the 1960's.\" As part of that upheaval, I remember the charge by elders that we acted as though \"we had invented sex.\" Mr. Tokar acts as though we had invented Green values.\nActually, all the innovative and vital features of the Greens stem from an earlier Green movement. The influx of disaffected liberals to the movement since the sixties has actually imbued that movement with many features early Greens would find offensive.\nThis periodical, for example, has been published more or less regularly since 1943, calling for intentional communities based on holistic living, decentralism, sharing natural bounty, freedom of trade, government by consensus, privately-generated honest monetary systems and a host of other societal reforms. Yet the founder, Ralph Borsodi, wrote extensively about the evils of the state, and would clearly oppose most of the interventionist policies brought to the Green Party by disaffected liberals and socialists. The same can be said of more famous proponents of Green values, such as Emerson and Thoreau.\nThe Green movement grew slowly and steadily and quite apart from mainstream liberalism throughout the sixties and seventies. In the eighties, however, it became clear that the liberal ship, and even more clear that the socialist ship, was headed for the political rocks. The left had simply lost credibility, even among those who felt oppressed by the current system. Gradually at first, discouraged leftists discovered the Green movement provided a more credible platform their positions.\nBecause of their excellent communications network, additional members of the left quickly discovered the Greens, embraced their values (at least superficially), joined their ranks and proceeded to drastically alter the Green agenda. For example, early Greens pushed for keeping economies more diverse and decentralized by promoting alternative, voluntary systems, and by criticizing lavish government expenditures on interstate highways, international airports, irrigation projects, and centralized bureaucracies that discriminated against small, independent entrepreneurs.\nToday the National Platform of the Green Party calls for \"municipalization\" of industry (that is, decentralized socialism), limits on foreign trade to save American jobs (which they insist is not protectionism), and other devices to create artificial decentralization under the guiding hand of some benevolent central authority.\nThe influence of Greens who are fond of government intervention (referred to as Watermelons by more libertarian Greens) seems to be strongest at the national level and weakest within most Green local organizations. Despite the National Green Platform's resemblance to a new face on the old left, many people who are genuinely attracted to Green principles are either undermining or abandoning the left-dominated Green Party USA. Specifically, the principal of decentralism is being used to challenge the right of a national committee to dictate positions to local Greens. This is fortunate for those of us interested in a coalition of Greens and Libertarians, as reconciliation between the Green Left and libertarianism is clearly impossible.\nOn the Roots of the Libertarianism\nThe Libertarian Party was born in 1971. Like the Green Party, it has philosophical roots that extend far back into history. It emerged, however, at a time when conservatism was in decline. Just as Greens attract liberals today and are strongly influenced by the liberal agenda, Libertarians attracted conservatives and were influenced by their agenda. However, as Libertarians are more analytically rigorous, there are fewer blatant inconsistencies between their positions and their principles.\nLibertarian bias tends to show up more in prioritization of issues than in any particular issue. For example, Libertarians are far more prone to complain about the capital gains tax than about many other taxes, even though there is nothing uniquely un-libertarian about that particular tax.\nMany Libertarians ignore classic libertarian writings and dwell on the works of Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard and Ludwig von Mises. The classical libertarians get mere superficial attention. For example, few have read Tragedy of the Commons, but many quote the title. Specifically, they are unwilling to recognize that the ecological mishaps like those referred to in that work had been absent for centuries when almost all land was common. As with the tragedy of the reservations, commons were abused because so many people had to share access to so little land. All this was a result of government sanction, allowing vast tracts of commonly held land to be appropriated by individuals without proper compensation to those who were dispossessed of access to the earth. These facts are ignored because they cannot be reconciled with pseudo-libertarian conservatism.\nJust as contemporary Greens have fondness for government and contempt for private property that their forebears did not share, Libertarians take an extreme position on private property and have hostility to all forms of government that their philosophical predecessors did not share.\nTheir refusal to acknowledge natural limits to private property and their insistence of unlimited protection of property by the state is their one great departure from their predecessors and their principles. For example, they dismiss the following statement by John Locke, known as the father of private property:\nGod gave the world in common to all mankind. Whenever, in any country, the proprietor ceases to be the improver, political economy has nothing to say in defense of landed property. When the \"sacredness\" of property is talked of, it should be remembered that any such sacredness does not belong in the same degree to landed property.\nThey similarly ignore Adam Smith's statement that:\nGround rents [land values] are a species of revenue which the owner, in many cases, enjoys without any care or attention of his own. Ground rents are, therefore, perhaps a species of revenue which can best bear to have a peculiar tax imposed upon them.\nPrivate ownership of the earth and its resources is the one area where Libertarians depart from their own philosophy. After all, their justification of property is in the right of individuals to the fruits of their labor. Because the earth is not a labor product, land value is not the fruit of its owner's labor. Indeed, all land titles are state-granted privileges, and Libertarians deny the right of the state to grant privileges.\nEven here, Libertarians are on solid ground when they argue that freedom could not survive in a society where land tenure depended on bureaucratic discretion. They are split, however, over devices like land value taxation that would, with a minimum of bureaucracy, put the landless in a more tenable position with respect to land monopolists. Just as liberals dominate the National Greens, conservatives dominate the Libertarian position on this issue, though many Libertarians, including Karl Hess, former editor of the Libertarian Times, do not share that conservative position.\nAgain, this is a key issue for reconciliation. The Green tradition cannot be reconciled with pseudo-libertarian claims that a subset of the people can claim unlimited title to the planet.\nThe Magic of Honest Compromise\nCompromise is too often a process whereby people on each side give up what they know to be right in order to gain a supposed advantage for their interest group. What I am proposing is that each side give up supposed advantages in order to harmonize with what is right. It takes an open mind and a great deal of courage, but the results can be magnificent.\nIf the Libertarians accept that ownership of land is a privilege, and agree to pay a fair rent (or land value tax) for that privilege, they will hold the key to getting rid of property (building) tax, income tax, sales tax, amusement tax, and a host of other taxes. Furthermore, statistical evidence indicates that land value tax promotes compact, harmonious use of land and eliminates a root cause of poverty. In this case, adopting land tax can reduce the need for zoning and protection of rural land, and for housing projects, welfare, and a host of bureaucratic services for the poor.\nGreens who study this issue will find that small and simple combination taxes that are essentially payments for exclusive access to common resources will address most of thier interests without complicated and intrusive bureaucracies. Land tax itself will eliminate land speculation and land monopoly, and will promote orderly development of land in cities and towns, taking developmental pressure off suburban and rural land.\nSeverence taxes on our common heritage of non-renewable resources can even-handedly reduce the rate of exploitation of these resources, conserving them for future generations.\nFinally, taxes on pollution are really payments for exclusive use of our common rights to clean air and water. It reflects that the air and water is less valuable to the rest of us when it is polluted, and those who pollute literally owe us for the right to tresspass on our air and water.\nOf course land monopoly will not solve all the problems by itself, but it is the key area where Greens and Libertarians are separated from each other as well as from thier own principles. Once this is reconciled, we can more readily work together on other issues where we are in agreement, such as liberating our monitary system the banking monopoly, ending military domination of foreign peoples, and ending government interference against people who commit victumless \"crimes.\"",

        "raw_content": "Press Releases World News\nPress statement from Guernica Chambers regarding the the photos of Sheikha Latifa on 24/12/18\n24th December 2018 Ghana News Online\t0 Comments Guernica 37, Princess Sheikha Latifa\nSky News has today, 24 November 2018, released a series of photographs purporting to show Sheikha Latifa meeting with Ms. Mary Robinson, the former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and former President of Ireland.\nThe United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has released a statement along with the photographs, stating that the meeting took place on 15 December 2018, and further, that they have been released to rebut \u2018false allegations\u2019.\nGuernica 37 and the wider legal team welcome this development if verified, and welcome the news that Sheikha Latifa is alive. There remain very serious concerns as to her state of health and whether she continues to be detained against her will. These serious questions remain unanswered.\nIn the first instance, and prior to commenting further at this stage, it is fully anticipated that Ms. Robinson confirms that the meeting took place, and further, confirms the circumstances of that meeting, along with the general well-being of Sheikha Latifa. It is further expected that the UN Working Group tasked with investigating her disappearance also comments on the recent submissions of the UAE.\nThe recent photographs of Princess Sheikha Latifa released by Sky News on 24 December 2018 are, if verified, a welcome development. However, a number of serious questions still remain as to Sheikha\nLatifa\u2019s whereabouts, her overall well-being and whether she remains detained all appear to be an issue and unanswered by the official statement of the United Arab Emirates.\nThe question remains as to why the United Arab Emirates waited nine months before responding and\nuntil now failed to engage with the United Nations investigating Sheikha Latifa\u2019s disappearance. It is curious timing that following a highly critical BBC documentary the UAE authorities seek to silence further comment by terming this a private family matter and seeking to silence those other persons that were detained, beaten and subsequently forced to sign false confessions.\nGuernica 37 International Justice Chambers and the wider team look forward to confirmation from the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms. Mary Robinson, and further awaits further engagement from the United Arab Emirates in relation to this matter\nIt is noted with some concern that Ms. Robinson has thus far not commented officially on the purported visit nor has she sought to communicate with those other persons who are alleged to have been unlawfully detained and beaten in an unprecedented military attack in international waters in March of this year.\nIt is noted that the UAE has thus far, refused to engage with the United Nations and its associated investigation, up until the 21 December 2018 where the Government states that its mission delivered a \u2018communique\u2019 to the Special Procedures Office.\nThe Government of the United Arab Emirates has not addressed why it has taken some nine months for the issue to be addressed, or why it has taken some nine months for there to be confirmation of Sheikha Latifa\u2019s whereabouts.\nFurther, and of significant concern, the Government of the United Arab Emirates and the Court of the Ruler of Dubai have thus far refused to address the circumstances of Sheikha Latifa\u2019s detention, along with the detention of those others on board the Nostromo when it was allegedly unlawfully attacked by the UAE military, and the Indian Coastguard; nor has there been any comment concerning the allegations of torture made by at least two of those passengers, Mr. Herve Jaubert, and Ms. Tiina Jauhiainen. These serious allegations that are supported by credible and reliable evidence remain unanswered and must be addressed. All persons responsible for such acts must be held accountable before a Court of Law and not merely brushed aside as a \u2018private family matter\u2019.\nAccordingly, therefore, the news released today, if verified, is welcomed, however, it remains incumbent upon the Government of the UAE to address the wider issues in relation to this matter, including the very serious allegations levied at its security forces.\nUAE Criminal and Civil Justice Specialists.

        "raw_content": "Solar irrigation scheme brings relief to Sizinda community\nChidhoti Mbewe\nLife has never been the same for Chidothi Mbewe (62) and her family following the death of her husband in 1996.\nHer late husband was a former National Railways of Zimbabwe (NRZ) employee.\nChidothi\u2019s plight is exacerbated by the country\u2018s economic meltdown which has since worsened over the years.\n\u201cMy husband died in the same year when the government introduced ESAP (Economic Structural Adjustment Programme). Since then, life has not been kind to me and my family. The paltry monthly pension which I receive from NRZ has not only been inadequate to pay schools fees for my dependents, but is not even enough to buy food for my family,\u201d said Mbewe.\nMbewe, who stays in Bulawayo\u2019s Sizinda high density suburb, Bulawayo South constituency, is now the breadwinner for a family of eight, including four orphaned grandchildren.\nMany women in the constituency are in the same predicament as Mbewe.\nWith over 15 000 pensioners and retrenched workers who are mostly aliens from Malawi and Mozambique, Bulawayo South constituency is probably ranked as one of the poorest urban constituency in the city.\nAs the constituency grapples with glaring unemployment and poverty, the local MP, Eddie Cross, found himself under extreme pressure to assist the struggling residents. Cross has since initiated a solar\u2013powered irrigation scheme in the area as a means of alleviating the residents\u2019 suffering.\nThe Sizinda community garden project which was funded by an Australian organisation, Sally Foundation, and implemented by the Zimbabwe Democracy Development Trust (ZDDT), has brought joy and relief to several households in the area.\n\u201cI was lucky to be selected as one of the beneficiaries of this project. Now I am able to grow a variety of fresh vegetables for my family\u2019s consumption as well as for selling. I am also now able to pay school fees for my grandchildren and buy medication for my ailing daughter.\n\u201cThe income level and household food security for my family has greatly improved as a result of this garden,\u201d said Mbewe.\nSizinda Community garden Trustee Judith Dube explaning crop planning routine\nA trustee of the community garden project, Judith Dube, expressed gratitude to Cross for initiating a life-changing programme.\n\u201cBefore the inception of this project, most women were restricted to household chores. The living standards of most widows and child-headed families have tremendously changed. Most of the families in the area used to have a single meal or even none per day, but now they can enjoy three meals, courtesy of the garden project,\u201d said Dube.\nDube said a total of 118 beneficiaries from the community, the majority of them women and child-headed families, have benefitted from the scheme.\n\u201cThe beneficiaries have been selected from all the 21 wards in the constituency, but the majority were drawn from Sizinda. For one to qualify, she or he has to be a resident facing serious problems in accessing basic needs,\u201d she said.\nThe irrigation scheme uses a solar-powered pump. The pump runs on electricity generated by solar panels using sunlight. The solar pump provides 9 000 litres of water per hour per day.\n\u201cThis provides enough water for the 1.2 hectare irrigation project. I think this is a very cost effective way of extracting ground water for communities. The operation of solar powered pumps is more economical due to the low operation and maintenance costs and has less environmental impact than other pumps,\u201d said Cross.\nDrilling the borehole and installation of the pump and solar panels costs $7 000.\nThe MP said electricity generated by the panels costs three cents per KWH compared to 14 cents when accessed from the national grid.\nHe added that the solar project sustains the irrigation scheme with ease except in extreme dry hot days.\nEach family has been allocated 100 square meters of land where they plant a variety of crops such as cow peas, vegetables, tomatoes, beetroot and potatoes.\nThe garden project is complimented by a chicken project which feeds the gardens with manure. The chicken fowls also use a solar powered lighting system.\nDube said beneficiaries pay a joining and monthly subscription fees of $5.\n\u201cOf the monthly subscription, $2 goes to a savings club and $3 to maintenance fees. Very few members have failed to pay,\u201d said Dube.\nDube also pointed out that there is now a noticeable improvement in nutrition standards among families in the community. Local demand for the vegetables has also increased.\nAccording to the Poverty Reduction Forum Trust (PRFT) many urban dwellers are increasingly facing hardships.",

She was born into a large family, and was surrounded by many extended family members while growing up. She was baptized into Christ\u2019s death and resurrection on February 4, 1923 by Rev. A.C.

        "raw_content": "Runners Are\u2026\nI had planned to share my top relay tips and lessons learned today, but after the events in Boston on Monday, I decided to shuffle things around. That post is still on the way, but first, I wanted to reflect a bit.\nAs I mentioned in my last post, I\u2019ve only been a \u201crunner\u201d for the past year. But after jumping in feet first, I feel like I am now part of the community. So it was tough for me, as it was for us all, to hear about the senseless act of violence at the Boston Marathon. After seeing countless friends wear their race shirts on Tuesday, I went home, tossed on my blue and yellow race shirt and laced up my shoes to honor those we lost and to send a little \u201cstrength\u201d out East.\nMy thoughts and prayers are with those affected and their loved ones, and the entire city of Boston. I think Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert nailed the way the country is feeling, so check out their comments if you haven\u2019t had a chance.\nWe have learned some important things about runners, and the human spirit in general, this week.\nRunners are brave. They run through pain. Some, after running 26.2 miles, keep on running for another 2 miles to donate blood at the hospital.\nRunners have hope. That tomorrow\u2019s run will be better. And heck, that tomorrow will be better.\nRunners are resilient. As FITNESS Editor-in-Chief Betty Wong so eloquently said, \u201cWe run because that is how we keep reaching, growing, healing\u2026In tragic times like this, we simply keep moving forward. We run for joy. We run for good health. We run for peace. That is how we finish strong.\u201d\nInspired by the heroes this week? Join this Facebook group and commit to completing 26.2 miles (and this doesn\u2019t have to be in one day). The goal is to have at least 23,181 participate to match the number who started the Boston Marathon this year.\nBecause music can sometimes be the best therapy, I\u2019ll leave you with one of my all-time favorites that seems fitting.\nRunners are also inspiring. They\u2019ve motivated me to do something I never imagined I\u2019d do. But more on that later!\nFiled Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Boston Marathon, Marathon, race reflections, running\nThis post was so inspiring and I loved the music! Never heard of the group but will be listening more for sure.\nThank you so much, Elise! I was super-inspired by the strength of those at the marathon, plus, all those local police and officials on Friday. So many heroes.\nI think The Gabe Dixon Band is underappreciated! They also have another song called \u201cFind My Way\u201d that you may have heard of (I think it was maybe in the movie \u201cThe Proposal\u201d?). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wez59kjsPk",

        "title": "Byers Back Track, Lerderderg State Park - Hiking Fiasco",
        "raw_content": "I must say, it\u2019s quite nice to finally be free of the Great Ocean Walk. Talk about a long haul. Let it be said, it\u2019s always easier to hike these things than write about them. The problem with spending two stinkin\u2019 months collating a saga is time has stopped on the blog, but the walking has continued at full throttle with a resultant literary logjam. Actually, when I come to think of it, there have been so many strolls lately, I\u2019ve no idea what happened. Mentally, they\u2019ve all melded into one long sweat/lost things-fest and it will take a perusal of photos to differentiate between any of them.\nAnyway, where do we go from here? What unique and fantastic place will I bang on about now the coast has been left behind? Well, that\u2019s easy. I\u2019m turning my attention to a brand new area, which isn\u2019t, as I\u2019ve visited and written about the place approximately 75 times. Lerderderg State Park.\nI must say, getting down and \u2018dergy (I just made that up. Any good?) can be quite traumatic. As a bushwalking location, I classify it as grim. Being a gorge, all the crap from the top ends up at the bottom, so a nice, casual jaunt along the river usually involves praying to your imaginary Jesus you\u2019re not going to give yourself a compound fracture of the ankle. If not on the river, there are steep hills and stuff. Hills I can handle, but it\u2019s the stuff, which can be problematic.\nAt home I\u2019ve got a half-baked map (actually it\u2019s a fully baked, black and white A4 print out) in which I\u2019ve been diligently marking off all the tracks I\u2019ve walked within the gorge. Most seem to be done, but there was a bit of a monster, which was un-highlighted. Byers Back Track. Supposedly it\u2019s one of the most popular walks in the place. I can understand why, as for the most part it\u2019s flat and anything level in that hellish place is a rarity. I had a reason for putting it on the back burner. It\u2019s a one way job and I\u2019m definitely a circuit bloke.\nWhat happens if I walk 10 km from O\u2019Briens Crossing to the sleepy hamlet of Blackwood? Do I just turn around and walk back like a chump? Should I make some friends, just so they can pick me up at the end and taxi me back to the starting point? Do I hitchhike from Blackwood and hope Ivan Milat\u2019s stunt double doesn\u2019t pick me up? Do I just buy a house at the destination, so essentially I\u2019m walking home? Do I bring a \u00b738 and conclude the stroll with a bang? Do I bring the \u00b738 and when the serial killer picks me up, I turn the tables by knocking him off? I bet you didn\u2019t see that one coming, did you?\nDamn, as they were all good ideas, choosing the right one was hard. In the end, I put them all into a sweat stained hat and drew one out. Luckily for the serial killer, the one I chose was \u2018walk back like a chump\u2019. Mind you, it wasn\u2019t going to be too horrific (yeah right) as I could follow a few other unexplored tracks back to the start. How was I going to do this? Well, help was at hand, as all I had to do was turn to Glenn \u2018Earl of Exhaustion\u2019 Tempest\u2019s book, Daywalks Around Victoria. All the answers to my feeble questions were there in a day hike with the mind melting name of \u2018Blackwood Walk\u2019. Surely there hasn\u2019t been a more succinct title? Yes, this is the Byers Back Track, Lerderderg State Park walk to Blackwood and back again. Actually, that sentence was a bit of a tongue twister.\nUnfortunately, it meant at least a 21 km day and with the short winter hours, an early start was required. Not unless I wanted to walk in the dark, along an ankle-snapping river, risking head injuries if I fell, not to mention something a lot more serious. A svelte figure like me would be really hungry once the sun has gone down.\nSo, I set the alarm, bounded out of bed and enabled full Hoover mode for breakfast, before smashing through the back door, as I had no time to be stuffing around opening it. Overnight though, a strange event had happened. It\u2019d rained. If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019d wonder what this strange wet stuff is, as it\u2019s rarely sighted these days.\nIn relation to the walk, what would be the consequences of this rare event? Umm\u2026 None. What it did mean was when I hit the unsealed O\u2019Briens Road, it had been turned into a bit of a muddy, slick mess. I must admit, it\u2019s just not the same, sliding a front wheel drive car compared to a rear wheel drive one. I mean, getting the hands all crossed over, but with the back not sliding, is just no fun at all.\nAnyway, I gave it a good go, by shouting \u2018yeehaa\u2019, whilst channelling my inner Ari Vatanen and arrived at O\u2019Briens Crossing in reasonable time. I was also glad of the early start, as I looked at my watch. 11.40 am. After staring at the ticking dial, I turned to the sky and began performing a series of mental calculations with my internal abacus. \u201cRight\u2026 22 km\u2026 probably 3 km per hour\u2026 sunset just after 5\u2026 following this\u2026 pitch black in quick time\u2026 FUCK ME SWINGING (FMS)\u2026 I\u2019M GOING TO HAVE TO SPRINT\u201d.\nDonning the pack, I arrived at the starting point, which just so happened to be half a metre from my parked car. In fact, I don\u2019t think I could have parked any closer, as upon opening the door and stepping out, I was on the track, which happened to be a staircase.\nReally, all great walks start with a set of stairs. Gripping the graffiti covered handrail, I looked up into the heavens and at the end of wet, slippery timber steps sat the universal shrine to the desperate. A comfort station.\nPutting my head down, I ascended at a rapid pace and after about 10 feet found myself gasping for air. It wasn\u2019t a good start. Dying due to oxygen debt was the least of my worries though. The main thing was, how in such a grim environment can I make my photos look nice?\nAn overcast sky wasn\u2019t helping, as it left the landscape quite featureless and drab. Not to mention the whole landscape is a little\u2026 umm\u2026 featureless and drab. I would have to pull out all my photographic stops and the best way to start was spend an inordinate amount of time looking for fungi. Really, summer can get stuffed, as winter usually provides the best fungi amongst the trees. From the start it was promising.\nOnce past the starting summit, I found myself stretching out into a decent stride. Motoring along the old, flat water-race, I felt like I needed a moniker. You know, something like \u2018Scott of the Antarctic\u2019. How about, \u2018Wide Load of the Back Track\u2019? Yeah okay, it\u2019s not great, but it\u2019s only a first draft. Let me work on it a bit.\nAnyway, amongst all this wandering wondering, some strange things were happening. First of all, a whistle was sighted in the middle of the track. It made me think. If lost, a whistle is used to summon help, but what happens if the whistle itself is lost? How can it be found if there are no lips to puff the pea? Mentally, I wasn\u2019t sure if this thought process was existential or just plain annoying.\nUpon examination, it looked like a reasonable model. Normally, a find like this would be transferred into the stores department for future use under the fiasco umbrella of equipment. The trouble is it\u2019s a whistle and who knows whose diseased, bubonic plagued lips have been attached to it over the years. I\u2019m not sure I could put it to my mouth and take the risk, so if it\u2019s yours, get in touch.\nWrap your lips around this one. If you dare.\nAs I walked and engaged in whistle whimsy, suddenly something more disturbing was sighted on the track. An abandoned naked baby. Right, it may have been bright yellow and made of jelly, but it was a baby nonetheless. That\u2019s not all. It was the first of about a dozen mixed jellies spaced along the track.\nI\u2019ve got dem jelly baby blues in yellow.\nDid some punter have a dodgy pocket and their sugary delights were slowly being leaked whilst walking, or were they were being left at intervals for backtracking later in the day on the Back Track? Maybe they were vital for energy and without them, they would now hit the wall? If so, would they need a whistle to sing for help? Thanks baby. I now had the lollies and the distress signal, so I was right.\nStriding out again (Lard Arse of the Lerderderg? Mm\u2026 I\u2019ll keep at it) I was soon passing classic Australian bush. Huge eucalypt trees hugged the track\u2026\n\u2026whilst banksia flowers were a little more discreet.\nNot so this sizeable grass tree\u2026\n\u2026or the long strips of bark strewn across the track.\nAlso, surely within a forest there\u2019s not a more traditional sight than a destroyed information sign? I shouldn\u2019t complain. At least it wasn\u2019t full of bullet holes.\nOn some fungi, the overnight rain had created small pools of water.\nOh yeah, these places also have evocative names. I strolled through Break Neck Gully and passed Deadmans Track. I didn\u2019t want to spend too long at Head on a Stick Valley and finally Jack Kevorkian Ravine was not the place to stop whilst feeling weary.\nSpeaking of gruesome, quite a few fallen trees lay about. I really, really think something like this landing on your head would hurt.\nYou know what? Everything said about Byers Back Track was correct. It\u2019s probably the easiest few hours I\u2019d walked in months. Flat as a tack, although this is not exactly correct. It\u2019s gradually downhill all the way to Blackwood and the easy going gave me a chance to examine, not just the fungi, but signs.\nCome to think of it, I may a sign fetish. Yeah, unlike my spray-on lederhosen, signs are not the most kinky of things. Maybe. Anyway, I seem to have gone nuts documenting the ones along the way. Maybe it\u2019s the weathered, moss covered look, which is the attraction? It\u2019s certainly not the information on them, as it appeared the distances were randomly made up\u2026\n\u2026although maybe there was a mix-up between metric and imperial?\nA piece of draped bark made this one quite photogenic\u2026\n\u2026but don\u2019t panic, it wasn\u2019t all about the signs. There was more fungi. Of course.\nHypholoma fasciculare Sulphur Tuft. Maybe.\nI may have been ruing enormous branches landing on my head and the resultant change of my name from \u2018Big Greg\u2019 to \u2018Flat Greg\u2019, but others had attended to more important jobs. This large, fallen tree was no match for Leatherface and his trusty chainsaw, plus the track was now a breeze to negotiate.\nThe smooth sailing has to end sooner or later though, otherwise what\u2019s the point of this entire post? It\u2019s hard to keep interest when there\u2019s no pain or anguish. The change began when I hit a road at some place on the outskirts of Blackwood called Golden Point. A brief glance around and I decided it was beyond sleepy. Comatose is a better word for an outpost where the glory days of the gold rush had passed. By around 150 years.\nThe road wasn\u2019t too bad, especially when it dished up the best hairpin I\u2019d seen for some time.\nPerfect hairpin \u2013 Golden Point Road.\nOh yeah, don\u2019t forget, an area like this always seems to provide the following recipe. Rural road + isolated = abandoned car. It didn\u2019t take me long to find it.\nI\u2019m sure it looked great when it came off the production line.\nWandering along, I thought I\u2019d take some notice of the real estate for sale. I must say, John the agent, might have had good intentions, but I assume he\u2019d long given up trying to get a sale. This damp, dingy piece of overgrown land would be a tough sell. The worn, faded sign was purely for show, as no bastard is going to buy this one.\nThe locals were nowhere to be seen, but I took note of their plea. They like to keep their wishes simple.\nThat\u2019s all we can ask for.\nAfter the initial steep climb at O\u2019Briens Crossing, Byers Back Track had been one, long casual descent from the very start, but now I was back to river level. A large rock pool was of interest, but I didn\u2019t think I could get a decent photo on the day, so I went ahead into the future to take the next picture. Last weekend, it looked far better than a few weeks back. Except for the power lines.\nIt was quite peaceful, but I was only half-way, so there was no chance to stop and ponder. I began the slow climb up to Blackwood\u2026\n\u2026and arrived to find it no different to the hustle and bustle of Golden Point. I must say, I don\u2019t think I saw anyone? From hitting the bitumen, I felt like I was in a Twilight Zone episode.\nThere\u2019s a pub in Blackwood, which apparently is popular, but I didn\u2019t stop. Wandering past this car, I wondered if this was the official Blackwood leaf collector? Then again, maybe he was just unlucky in parking under a particularly, vigorous leaf shedding tree. Mind you, if he was alive of course and hadn\u2019t been taken away by aliens.\nYou want leaves? This bloke\u2019s got \u2019em.\nLeaving the leaf mobile behind, I strolled on\u2026\n\u2026before turning into another deserted thoroughfare.\nI passed the Whitehouse\u2026\n\u2026before reaching an old water race, where the roads were to be left behind and bushwalking would begin again. Oh, it appears to be shut.\nI eyed off the sign for about 0.8 seconds, which I believe is my new record, before promptly ignoring it and walking on past. It\u2019s pretty rare to walk in Victoria on a track which is actually open, so I\u2019ve long given up obeying these signs.\nI\u2019m not sure what the problem was either, but I was soon making my way downhill to the Mineral Springs Reserve. Naturally, there\u2019s a spring to drink from, but the niceties of a well groomed park was not what I wanted. I was there to do a bushwalk. Luckily for me, they keep things simple in Blackwood, as a fairly direct sign pointed me in the right direction.\nWhat was next? Well, it was actually getting a bit late in the afternoon and I was trying to get my speed up again. The fungi kept distracting me though, as I noted this one with a fallen friend\u2026\nAmanita Muscaria \u2013 Fly Agaric \u2013 Possibly?\n\u2026and another attached to a rock\u2026\nSame as the last, or maybe the next?\n\u2026whilst this one had a reasonable swimming pool on its lid.\nAmanita Xanthocephala \u2013 Vermillion Grisette. Surely?\nI crossed Lerderderg River with an abundance of fallen leaves around\u2026\n\u2018I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun; Now may I wither into the truth\u2019\n\u2026and then I could concentrate on my next target. Shaws Lake. It was only a short distance away, but regarding the signs, there was some decision making to be done. One arrow pointed to the lake via the \u2018Hard Hills\u2019 and the other by following \u2018Sweets Lookout\u2019. Mm\u2026 \u2018Hard Hills\u2019? Well, that doesn\u2019t sound very nice, does it? Luckily for me, GT\u2019s walk notes sent me via Sweets Lookout and with such a lovely name, I\u2019m sure it would be a more leisurely stroll. Right? Wrong.\nAfter a bit of walking, I realised what was in store when I came across an arrow, which pointed to the stratosphere and commenced a sharp climb to Not So Sweet Lookout\u2026\nClimbing to Sweets Lookout.\n\u2026following a ridge, which continued to open out in front of me\u2026\n\u2026whilst I marvelled at its vertical-ness\u2026\n\u2026before arriving at the Piss Off You\u2019re Definitely Not Sweet Lookout. I celebrated the climb, by admiring the open patch of dirt, where the lookout had once stood, but had long been dismantled.\nSweets Lookout. Or what\u2019s left of it.\nWhy would they do this? I\u2019ll tell you why. It\u2019s because all the trees have grown around it and your view is of precisely nothing. Unless it\u2019s trees you want to look at and really, you don\u2019t have to climb a hill to see those.\nOh well, on I marched and in quick time I was at the remarkably reflective Shaws Lake\u2026\nShaws Lake, Blackwood.\n\u2026where some late afternoon sun and deep blue skies were giving me the chance to slip into \u2018arty-wanker\u2019 mode with the camera.\nThere\u2019s no rest for the larger gent though, as now it was getting to, \u2018better get running or will be dark along the river\u2019 time. Powering past the lake, I was soon heading up another North Blackwood Road\u2026\n\u2026before reaching my route home. Tunnel Point Track would lead me all the way back down to Lerderderg River, so off I raced. Did anyone feel a mild earth tremor a few weeks back? If you did, I know the cause. It was me, as the wide, slightly descending track caused me to do something I haven\u2019t done in decades. I jogged. It was quite a sight and although I wasn\u2019t moving as freely as Abebe Biklia, I did motor along at a respectable clip.\nThere was not much to see either, so keeping the camera under wraps helped my pace. Okay, I admit I took some photos. This blocked off piece of track had some of the blackest water in it I\u2019d ever seen\u2026\n\u2026and I quite liked the new growth on this tree.\nThe rare ramshead branched eucalypt was interesting\u2026\n\u2026before I made a rapid, steep descent to the river.\nWow. I\u2019d been to the Tunnel before\u2026\nThe Tunnel, Lerderderg River\n\u2026but the surrounds were looking a lot different on this occasion. Actually, the last time I really explored the Lerderderg river, it was late winter and the water was flowing nicely. I lost count of the times I walked down or across in thigh deep water. On this occasion, the vast expanse of dry riverbed took me by surprise. It\u2019s probably like this every year, but I must say I prefer its watery look.\nOh, what\u2019s the Tunnel? Ye olde miners blasted a hole through a rocky wall in order to reroute the river. It\u2019s no big deal, just an example of mining changing a natural landscape.\nAnyway, light was fading fast, as I considered my options. Head back up to Byers Back Track and retrace my steps from earlier in the day for a few kilometres or tackle the river, which was shorter, but potentially fraught with difficulty? There may have been no water, but the possibility of going arse up onto rocks was still a consideration.\nLerderderg River. Minus the river bit.\nI pondered for a moment before deciding the river was worth a go, as I was prepared to risk compound fractures instead of walking on a track I\u2019d already strolled on earlier.\nHeading off, it was reasonably easy going, with sections of sandy riverbed\u2026\n\u2026before I turned a few bends and came across the odd rock pool.\nThe black rocks along the river are lethally slippery, so my progress was slow and I needed to make a decision.\nI\u2019d reached Ambler Lane and from the previous trip to the Tunnel, I seem to remember the way ahead was on a rough track heading off up a hillside, before plummeting back to the river and O\u2019Briens Crossing. The trouble is, I couldn\u2019t remember if I needed to climb up the gorge. Was the riverbed too hard to negotiate through this next section, even with little water? I can\u2019t recall what I did last week, let alone a couple of years ago, so I elected to call it quits and make for Byers Back Track.\nHeading up Amblers Lane\u2026\n\u2026I made a mental note never to walk it again. It\u2019s quite steep and by the end of the day, I\u2019d had a gutful. Light was more or less gone and by the time I reached Byers Back Track, it was headlamp time. Except I couldn\u2019t be bothered getting it out, so I gingerly continued on until finally the descent back to the car. I must say, that little downhill section nearly killed me, as I slipped and slid on wet rocks and leaves. Don\u2019t even mention the stairs.\nSo, that\u2019s it. Talk about a day of running around. You know what\u2019s funny? The walk notes suggest six hours and it took me 20 minutes more. I\u2019ve no idea how one keeps to those time limits, as I didn\u2019t even stop for lunch. According to the GPS, the total distance for the day was just under 23 km. More than enough!\nBefore leaving, have you noticed how the writing style in the one post can vary? This is because I started writing on Monday and have only finished now, late on Friday night. I\u2019ve picked up a cold in the meantime and frankly, I\u2019ve had it with this entry.\nWell, if you do have a sign fetish, I'm sure you are not alone. I'm still trying to figure out while I feel compelled to take pics of them on my walks too, and even of the same signs on return walks! But they can be pretty funny at times in their ambiguity. I've seen a lot of confusing, crazy and sometimes scary ones up in Queensland. And of course, the weathering effects are interesting over time. They add to the history of the area too of course.\nI always love the fungi shots (another weird fetish?) and the reflections in Shaw's Lake were impressive. I especially like the single branch poking out of the water. Beautiful shot.\nI suspect you usually spend plenty of time taking shots, so the extra 20 mins probably means your pace wasn't too bad, especially considering there were some slippery, rocky bits. I always take longer than the suggested time because for me it's more about enjoying what's out there than doing a power hike from A to B. I'm also not the most athletic hiker\u2026 Maybe we need to have alternative time predictions for photographers and nature loiterers? You know, a special rating for photogenic possibilities of an area so people can know to add an extra hour because it's an interesting route? \ud83d\ude42\nThere are a few walks I want to do up here that don't involve circuits also, but it means parking the car at the top or bottom of a mountain and somehow managing to turn around and get back again before darkness falls and the psycho killers appear. I might have to blackmail someone into dropping me at one end and picking me up at the other end. Tricky. Unless I make a pact with someone else who wants to walk them\u2026we park cars at opposite ends and then swap cars at the end of the day after doing the walk in opposite directions\u2026 Yes, I have pondered this a bit myself. Sigh. Anyway, another entertaining read. I'll have a lot of info to make choices when I make it down south. Get better soon. \ud83d\ude42\nSimon Brown\t June 14, 2014 at 1:11 pm\nYour photography is getting better and better. Thanks for the fantastic photos!\nDaniel Grey\t June 15, 2014 at 7:13 am\nThanks for the post, this walk is about the only one I haven't ventured out to do yet in the Derg, not sure if I am more or less motivated now??!!\nThe \"rare ramshead branched eucalypt\" looks like something straight out of \"Wrong Turn\" I am glad you made it back ok and it wasn't on the same day the guy with the mega-chainsaw cut through that track altering log!\nI have witnessed many a fallings (or failings?) on the Dergs mega death black rocks, mostly ending in ventures into the freezing water. After rains, most of the tracks out there are better left to the brave\u2026 although if its not wet, then there are snakes under every rock\u2026.\nHow did those last few kays go? Anything after 20 in a day lets you know you are alive \ud83d\ude09\nYes, taking photos can be a time waster. I must say, I'm pretty quick with a shot though. If I spot something, it's seconds to frame it and take the picture before moving on. This is one reason why I look at photos later and know a lot of the time I could have donea better job! The ideal method would be to take the tripod, filters and all sorts of other fancy camera things and to say hell to the walk. I'd have nicer photos, but as it is now, I stick to the compromise method.\nIn the last month, I've done a group of walks which I've pondered for a while, but never did as they aren't circuits. As they get written, you'll see what problems I had having to get find a way back to the start \ud83d\ude42\nThanks Simon. You're very kind! One day on this blog, you'll see the most perfect photo ever taken. You may have to live to a 100 though, as I can't guarantee it'll happen any time soon \ud83d\ude42\nWell, now you know what's in store for you, if you do this walk! Compared to most of the other Derg walks, it's not hard. Actually, to clarify, the opening 10 km are as easy as anything I've walked this year! The rest, well, it's not a drama with a slightly longer day and having a bit of time to put the feet up. That's my main beef, it seemed long and it's one of those ones where you just want the thing to finish \ud83d\ude42\nI've only had one full face plant into the river, so considering I normally fall over on flat ground, I reckon I've done alright!\nYeah, 20 km is my limit. After that I tend to lose my mojo \ud83d\ude42\nGoat\t June 17, 2014 at 2:32 pm\nMight I recommend blogging in bed as a temporary (or permanent, if you like it) antidote to blog post monotony? I'm starting to love it, except for the bed sores\u2026\nYour relief as you left the coast behind (for now?) was palpable. Glad you've been doing lots of walking (a lot more than me, if backyards don't count) and that presumably the neck is on the mend (?). My mother just complained in an email about the onset of \"winter\" in QLD: temps plummeting to 8C etc. I'm sure even in Victoria you can beat that. I'm just getting over a cold myself and the sunshine here is enough to tempt me from my bed\u2026\nBed blogging? The risk is I'll enjoy it way too much and never get up again. I'll be like the Howard Hughes of blogging!\nYes, the neck is at a standstill. Not worse or better, but the thought of lugging a weeks worth of stuff in a pack is a bit of a scary thought. For the time being, it's all day walks or maybe the odd overnighter. It's not too bad, as at the end of my day, I've got my bed to sleep in!\nHuh? 8C in QLD? That to me sounds nuts? We've had the standard chilly weather here with grey skies, but where's the rain? Then again, I live out west and it never rains. Maybe it's falling elsewhere, but not in my suburban wasteland?!\nYou know what Goat? I think I caught your cold. I've been flattened this week by nasty bug!",

        "title": "Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data Issues Guidance on the Use of Drones | Hong Kong Lawyer",
        "raw_content": "Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data Issues Guidance on the Use of Drones\nMark Parsons, Partner, and Peter Colegate, Associate, Hogan Lovells\nOn 29 March, the Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (the \"Commissioner\") published a guidance note that for the first time addressed the increasing use of unmanned aircraft systems (\"UAS\", or, more popularly, \"drones\"). The Commissioner's guidance is the first significant regulatory engagement on the use of UAS by a Hong Kong regulator.\nThe guidance is timely. Hong Kong currently has an estimated 5,000 UAS and that number is predicted to increase as prices fall and people and businesses become more aware of the possibilities for their use. UAS technology is also improving. Manufacturers are experimenting with UAS that can collect thermal images, provide telecommunications services, take environmental measurements and even collect \u201cbig data\u201d using a range of different sensors at the same time.\nThe possibilities for UAS raise significant regulatory concerns, but current regulations are very limited in their scope and do not yet address important issues of privacy. The Commissioner's guidance is a first step in Hong Kong towards a broader debate about UAS.\nThe Hong Kong Regulatory Regime for UAS\nThe Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong (\"CAD\") is responsible for regulating non-recreational UAS weighing over seven kilograms. Flying a UAS weighing seven kilograms or less for purely recreational purposes is classified as model aircraft flying and no CAD oversight is required.\nThe expected increase in use of UAS calls the basic regulatory parameters into question. Hong Kong\u2019s urban density and unique geographical features make safety a key concern. For commercial UAS flights in Hong Kong the CAD rules stipulate that no flights are permitted within five kilometres of an aerodrome, over 300 feet above ground and in visibility conditions of less than five kilometres. There is also a requirement that the pilot of the drone must have qualifications to show that he has the required training to fly the device. A flight plan must also be submitted to the CAD at least 28 days before take-off.\nThe CAD's rules are clearly directed at pilot qualifications and safety concerns. It is not clear that the department is under any duty to consider privacy concerns when it issues its permits. In a blog entry he made last year concerning UAS, Hong Kong's Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data expressed his concern that the privacy rights of individuals in Hong Kong need to be better protected as the use of UAS increases. In the Commissioner's view, UAS present unique privacy challenges and their ability \"to collect data with great resolution and granularity at distant vantage points, often for long periods, and on a continuous and covert basis, enables them to conduct effective aerial surveillance of persons of interest in a sustained and surreptitious manner.\"\nThe Commissioner's new guidance adds further force to these comments, and suggests some specific compliance measures that UAS operators should take, including carrying out privacy impact assessments as part of flight planning, minimising the amount and types of personal data collected by the drone to that which is essential and taking measures to ensure that data is secure should the drone be lost. The Commissioner also suggests means of alerting the public to the presence of UAS collecting personal data, such as incorporating flashing lights into the aircraft to signal that recording is taking place and pre-announcing through social media and other means that a UAS flight is taking place.\nThe Commissioner has separately appealed to technology providers to commit to building privacy and data protection into their products and services. As a keen advocate of the \"privacy by design\" concept, the Commissioner considers it vital to maintaining a privacy-assuring ecosystem.\nBlue Sky Thinking About UAS Regulation\nThe Commissioner's guidance on the use of UAS in Hong Kong adds some helpful discussion to what will likely be an important but complex area of regulation in the coming years. The capacity for UAS to impact personal space in high density urbanised regions such as Hong Kong is clear. The means of ensuring that UAS flights in Hong Kong are compliant with the PDPO will be a matter requiring attention.",

        "raw_content": "Home \u00bb life \u00bb Finally\nI suppose it has only been a couple days since my last post, but I finally feel like I have time again in my life to sit down and write a new post. We opened the show on Friday night and so far it sounds like all is well with that. At the same time though, my brother came in for a few days to do some skiing, so as soon as I was free from the theatre I was off to spend time with Dan. It was a lot of fun, we got in a lot of skiing, and I am still pretty wiped out from that. It is a lot of fun to ski hard, but you feel it later!\nI of course still had a full schedule over the weekend. On Saturday I did photos for Youth Theatre at the U\u2019s production of James and the Giant Peach. It was a cute and fun little show and I am sure that I will do some business with the photos. If you are interested in taking a look at the images you can find them at this site.\nYTU was not the only photo engagement that I had on Saturday. I also went to a performance of Ruth\u2019s which was to raise money to fund her class\u2019 trip to France over their spring break. The \u201cFrench Connection,\u201d as they are called, is a group of students who are going to spend a week in France studying, performing, and working with similarly inclined theatre students at a school in France. It sounds like it should be a fun trip. Through various fund-raising efforts including two such performances as this one, they have raised all the money that they need to go on the trip. So, since I would have been at the performance anyway, I took some photos from them, it was a lot of fun.\nI did have one other photo adventure this weekend, though this one was not very significant (at least in my mind). I was walking up Main Street in Park City with my brother and we stopped, as usual, in the Thomas Mengelsen galley. I love looking at hi work, and he is going to be in town later this month! As we left the gallery, we ran into a family on the street trying to figure out how to get a good photo of themselves. They asked if I would shoot the picture for them and of course, I was happy to. Had to take a couple to get the tiny little flash on the P&S camera to actually light them up. They were very grateful, at which point my brother decided to point out that they had happened to ask a professional photographer to take their picture. At which point they wanted to know more about me and my work and I unfortunately didn\u2019t have a card on me (which reminds me I should have more printed). So, kind of fun experience.\nSo, I do have to make a couple appearances at the theatre this week, even though I don\u2019t have to run the show. We have lots of prep work to do for our final production of the season, 42nd Street. We have a lot of things that need to light up, and if all goes well, I will get someone else to spend their money on it so that I can save my budget for other things! I am usually pretty good at that. So, all things considered, I should probably get off my couch, eat something and go to work. I like relaxing and writing, but I can get paid to relax and write if I sit in my office, it is just not as comfortable as being at home!\nI have also heard that the shop is having a party today and the team drawing for March Madness will happen this afternoon. We do two different pools, one is a standard fill in your own bracket and the other is a random drawing. I don\u2019t follow college basketball at all really so doing a bracket is kinda moot for me. The random lottery is fine, cheap to buy in to, but can make you a few bucks. Plus the party at the beginning and at the end is fun.\nSo, that is about where things are. I have lots of blogs to catch up on reading and maybe I can get ahead on a post or two with some of the ideas that I have thought of (and probably forgotten) over the past week.",

        "raw_content": "THE GOAL OF THE CHURCH\nThe traditional understanding of the goal of the Church, of the Christian discipleship, is eternal residence in Paradise. But our goal is not to go to Heaven to live forever. Our goal is to learn to live in the Spirit that is from Heaven, from God, so that when the Lord Jesus returns to earth we may return with Him in the fullness of the glory and power of Heaven. The goal of the Christian salvation is not a place. Our goal is the eternal Life that Christ Is. Our goal is to dwell in God, in the glory and joy of His Presence. Our final destination is the earth, for the Kingdom of God will be established on the earth.\nThe traditional understanding of the goal of the Church, of the Christian discipleship, is eternal residence in Paradise. The truth is, no covenant of God, whether found in the Old Testament or the New Testament, has as its goal our eternal residence in Heaven. The most commonly-held hope in all Christendom is that the Lord Jesus is our \"ticket\" to Paradise. If we believe in Jesus and if we try to be good we will go to Heaven when we die, there to live forever with God.\nIt indeed is true that our goal is to live forever in the Presence of God. It is true that our life, our hopes, our treasures, our joy are in Heaven in the present hour. It is true that our citizenship is in Heaven, that the saints are in Heaven around the Throne of God, and that our redemption is coming down from Heaven.\nThe Kingdom of God is of Heaven and will come down from Heaven. The spiritual Jerusalem, the \"Zion\" to which we have come, is in Heaven in the present hour. Our life is hidden with Christ in God in Heaven.\nBut our goal is not to go to Heaven to live forever. Our goal is to learn to live in the Spirit that is from Heaven, from God, so when the Lord Jesus returns to earth we may return with Him in the fullness of the glory and power of Heaven.\nThe goal of the Christian redemption is not a place. Our goal is the eternal Life that Christ Is. Our goal is to dwell in God, in the glory and joy of His Presence. Our final destination is the earth, for the Kingdom of God will be established on the earth.\nThis is not to say that in the resurrection we shall be restricted to the earth. God alone knows the joys and opportunities that await us. Our emphasis is that the Scriptures, especially the writings of the Prophets, point toward the glory that will come to the earth with the return of Christ. We prosper when we adhere to the written Word.\nGoing to Heaven will not satisfy the deepest longing of our heart. The deepest longing of our heart is to be one with Christ and the saints in God. It is the beauty and joy of Heaven that we are seeking, and that beauty and joy proceed only from the Presence of God in Christ.\nOne day the same beauty and joy will proceed from us, as God in Christ in us brings the nations of saved peoples of the earth into the liberty of the glory of the children of God (Romans 8:21; Revelation 21:3,4).\nTo go to live forever in mansions in the spirit realm, there to have no responsibility, to perform no useful service, is not the goal of the holy Scriptures. The goal of mansions, and the accompanying idea that we achieve the goal by means of a one-time assent to the truth of Christ\u2019s atoning death and triumphant resurrection, have resulted in confusion concerning the necessity for our conversion to godly behavior. They have produced a continuing state of spiritual immaturity on the part of the believers.\nWe need to repeat often, in the twenty-first century, the concept of God-centeredness. God was not created for man\u2019s benefit, man was created for God\u2019s benefit.\nThe Lord God of Heaven desires a house, a place of rest. God already has a temple in Heaven and His will is being performed there (Isaiah 6:1). However, God\u2019s intention is to live in the earth among the nations of people He has created.\nGod\u2019s solution to this problem is the creation of a living house in which He can dwell forever on the earth and through which He can rule and bless the nations of saved peoples of the earth. This living house is being formed from living stones.\nGod is creating a house for Himself. The living stones of which it is composed will serve for eternity as kings and priests of the nations of saved peoples of the earth. They are the Presence of God among mankind.\nIf the true Christian salvation is the building of an eternal house for the God of Heaven, a tabernacle of glory that will serve for eternity as the light of the nations of saved peoples of the earth, then the bringing forth of a new, godly creation in our personalities is necessary for the gaining of our inheritance. Transforming grace must be added to pardoning grace.",

A battery plant recently expanded by Daimler\u2019s Accumotive battery production subsidiary was to be used to provide stationary storage batteries as well as EV batteries, which would be the main focus of the factory, in Kamenz.\nAt trade shows in Europe over the past couple of years, the Mercedes-Benz Energy stand has been easily among the largest and most colourful in any hall, while the division\u2019s workforce was planned to be doubled each year. It was among the more expensive of home storage units, reported at around US$9,000 to US$10,000 retail when the company launched into the US market, led by former Sonnen US chief Boris Von Bormann.\nDaimler communications and PR manager Henry Schroeder confirmed the news to Energy-Storage.News this morning, saying that the Mercedes-Benz Energy subsidiary will be re-focused. Daimler is constantly reviewing its processes and the performance of its business units and the decision was taken as part of this ongoing work.\nThe strategy to utilise EV batteries, and also to leverage production and design processes from e-mobility to enhance the competitiveness of batteries used in stationary storage, was no longer being employed, Schroeder said.\n\u201cEven if different synergy effects are recognisable between automotive and stationary battery systems today, our current analyses show that the economic efficiency of home energy storage systems based on automotive battery systems will not exist in the medium and long term either,\u201d Schroeder told Energy-Storage.News.\n\u201cIn particular, the performance requirements of the highly complex automotive battery systems far exceed the values required for the home storage market.\u201d\nDaimler is not exiting the energy storage industry entirely. Schroeder said that the group will, however, focus \u201cexclusively on the development and construction of stationary energy storage systems for grid applications,\u201d which could include 2nd Life projects and storage systems constructed from spare battery parts as well as system utilising new batteries.

        "raw_content": "Barcelona transfer news Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho is at odds with Paul Pogba\n\"The manager tried to sign a centre-back, wasn't allowed to do it and he's nearly been left with us\".\nFresh from a well-deserved break after winning the World Cup with France, Pogba has linked up again with his United team-mates at the Aon Training Complex this week.\nManchester United begins its season off on the right foot, with World Cup-winner Paul Pogba scoring alongside Romelu Lukaku.\nHarry Maguire was a genuine target, and although no progress was ever made with Leicester, United are still admirers of the England player.\nA deal for Alderweireld was quickly considered too complicated, with Tottenham playing hard ball early on, while other targets were considered too short-term.\nTottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been one of the more outspoken critics of the shortened window with time running out for Spurs to make a single signing this summer.\nHuntsman's casting comes on the heels of the departures of panelist Sara Haines and part-time co-star Paula Faris from The View . Former View host Jedediah Bila was also a contributor at Fox News before joining the ABC show.\n\"It was more down to Mourinho's pragmatism and I'm not sure how much longer the players will put up with it\".\n\"But it's the same conversation as with (Ashley) Young, (Marouane) Fellaini, (Jesse) Lingard, it's the same\".\nSpeaking at Carrington, Mourinho said: \"If they feel they can help us, 20 minutes, ten minutes half an hour... I am happy with all the players at the moment\".\n\"I said that during pre-season - it looked like I was saying something absolutely out of order, it looked like I was saying something insane - but I repeat, pre-season is hard when you don't have your players to work with\".\nThere was no question of Pogba being allowed to leave and there remains great support for Anthony Martial at the club, with every inquiry about him over the summer being met with a firm refusal.\nUnited used a three-at-the-back system regularly during the pre-season tour of the United States and could use it against Claude Puel's side rather than the usual 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.\nThe Portuguese went some way to countering suggestions he is unhappy with his squad at his pre-match press conference. I like my players and my group. \"I like to work with my players\".",

        "raw_content": "In speculation of a Dominion attack, Starfleet stationed a new class of starship, the Defiant Class Defiant, at Deep Space Nine. After installing a Romulan cloaking device on board the ship, the senior officers of DS9 went into the Gamma Quadrant to locate the \"Founders\", the leaders of the Dominion. During the confusion of a Jem'Hadar attack Odo kidnaped Major Kira, stole a shuttlecraft, and went to the Omarion Nebula, to which he felt drawn for some reason he couldn't explain. They landed on a small planet where he and Kira located the Founders, and discovered that they were made of a transforming gelatinous substance just like Odo\ufffdhe was really one of them! He was told by a Female Changeling that he was one of one hundred infant Changelings that were sent out to explore the galaxy. Meanwhile, Kira had detected a strange power source under the planet's surface. She and Odo found the other senior officers hooked up to a series of brain probes in an underground room. A Vorta explained that through the probes, the Dominion wanted to see how serious the Federation was about their peace claims. The officers learned that the Founders established the Dominion thousands of years ago to bring their sense of order upon a chaotic galaxy filled with \"Solids\" (people unable to change form like they could). The crew was let go, and Odo returned to Deep Space Nine with them, regretting that his people were so barbaric.\nThe Cardassians and Romulans were told what the Federation had learned about the Founders, and secretly organized a plan to destroy their home world. Garak (exiled from Cardassia during the Occupation, and the only Cardassian that continued to live on Deep Space Nine) joined the mission, and kidnapped Odo to bring him along as a source of information. Garak reluctantly used a torturing device to get Odo to admit he was torn between wanting to return to his people and staying with his friends in the Alpha Quadrant. The Cardassian-Romulan fleet of starships blasted the Founder's home world with phaser fire and quantum torpedoes, but the planet had been completely deserted. Months before, when the plan was in its infancy, a Changeling had replaced a Romulan leader and convinced the Romulans and Cardassians to go into the Gamma Quadrant so that the Jem'Hadar could easily attack their ships. The entire fleet was destroyed, but Odo and Garak were able to make it back to DS9 when the Defiant came through the wormhole to rescue them.\nBy the end of this season, tensions between the Dominion and the various Alpha Quadrants powers had rose to a point where the Federation's major task was to calm all developing wars. The Founders had been assuming the positions of various race leaders, thus trying to influence the Alpha Quadrant empires into wars with each other, so that the Dominion would easily be able to conquer the entire quadrant in its weakened state. In one of those attempts on the Defiant, after Commander Sisko was promoted to captain and Jadzia promoted to lieutenant-commander, Odo accidentally killed one of his own people--something which had never happened between Changelings--when a fight broke out near the warpcore.",

At present, there are numerous different methods that can be used to collect data about online gambling. However, this case study briefly examines one of the new methods that have been used in the last few years by those in the gambling studies field (i.e., behavioural tracking), and briefly reviews the advantages, disadvantages, and uses. When it comes to studying online gambling behaviour, behavioural tracking methodologies offer a number of advantages for researchers as they provide a totally objective account of what gamblers do online.

        "raw_content": "In the aftermath of World War II and years of fuel rationing, America was on the move. People were buying cars, the population was shifting from urban to suburban, trucks were becoming a more common way to transport goods, and air travel was on the rise. Yet the highways and runways to accommodate these changes, and the trained professionals to plan and design them, were lacking. California\u2019s economy and populace were rapidly expanding, and the war had left the state\u2019s roads with years of deferred maintenance.\nIn response to the lack of transportation investment during the war years, the state legislature approved Senate Bill 1423 in 1947 to establish the Institute of Transportation and Traffic Engineering at the University of California, now known as the UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies (ITS). With a starting budget of $710,000, UC Berkeley President Robert Sproul asked Harmer E. Davis, a Berkeley professor of civil engineering and well-known transportation policy expert, to establish the new organization, the first of its kind to address the interdisciplinary nature of transportation. This then-novel approach still frames ITS\u2019s philosophy of recognizing the complex interplay of disciplines \u2014 including engineering, the physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities \u2014 in addressing transportation problems and solutions.\nThe fledgling teaching and research institute offered a robust academic program that included undergraduate, master\u2019s, and doctoral programs, eventually focusing on graduate programs. From the beginning, the Institute has maintained close ties with the California Department of Transportation, or Caltrans, and over the years has trained many engineers who went on to work for the state.\nFrom its inception, the Institute has transformed transportation in California, the country, and the world. The early years of expanding the state\u2019s transportation network introduced advancements in lighting, skid-resistant pavement, runway design, accident-reducing signage, and vehicle safety. In the 1960s, the national highway program adopted the results from these California safety studies.\nThe late 20th century saw a waning of new road building and a growth of congestion, changing the 21st century focus to using innovative, technological solutions to make transportation smarter and broaden mobility options. Today, ITS leads research advancements in alternative fuel vehicles, wireless networking, automated vehicles, computer science, urban data analysis, and geolocation to produce such innovations as real-time traffic monitoring, autonomous vehicles, intermodal coordination, and connected corridors to relieve congestion, increase safety, bring economic vitality to urban centers, and sustainably enhance mobility. Our faculty, researchers, and students are active in research that frames government policy, analyzes human behavior, and addresses infrastructure.\nOur alumni work around the world in industry, academia, and the public sector, contributing to the economies of California and the United States and leading the broad field of transportation across the globe.\nLegacy Centers:\nUC Berkeley Center for Future Urban Transport",

You provide your name and social security number. The company finds people with good credit accounts to add you as an authorized user to one or more of their accounts.\nOnce the credit card company has reported to the credit bureaus, you\u2019re taken off the accounts. The account information is reflected in your credit score and remains on your credit report for seven years. The positive payment history can offset other negative information on your credit report and increase your credit score.\nLegal, but Questionable\nEven though it\u2019s legal\u2014for now\u2014it\u2019s dishonest. When you pass off someone else\u2019s good credit as your own, you\u2019re misleading creditors and lenders. Essentially, you\u2019re telling them that you\u2019ve paid your bills on time when in reality you haven\u2019t. If you get approved for a loan using these methods, you\u2019ve gained approval under false pretenses.\nThe credit scoring system is in place for a reason\u2014to give creditors and lenders a system by which they can make sound lending decisions. While there are some exceptions, the credit scoring system is more honest about whether or not you\u2019ll pay your bills than you are.\nWhen you get approved for a loan or credit card without the spending habits to pay on time, it\u2019s very likely that you\u2019ll default and end up hurting the good credit score you paid hundreds, even thousands of dollars to obtain.\nYou have to provide your social security number to be added as an authorized user on the other person\u2019s account. Your social security number lands in the hands of the person who adds you to his (or her) accounts. The way the process works, you don\u2019t know who this person is or how private they will keep your personal information.\nWhenever you give out your social security number, there\u2019s a risk that your identity can be stolen. Don\u2019t think that just because you already have bad credit, that additional damage can\u2019t be done if your identity is stolen.\nPiggybacking Schemes No Longer Effective\nThis credit repair tactic of faking a good credit history is one of the factors that caused the credit crisis of 2008. Many borrowers used their fake credit scores to qualify for loans they truly couldn't afford. Because of it, credit scoring algorithms either discount authorized user accounts completely, or they don't consider authorized user accounts that have been added for credit boosting purposes.\nInstead of spending thousands of dollars renting someone else\u2019s good credit, spend that money on improving your credit. Take inventory of your debts and put together a plan to pay them off.\nThe discipline you gain through earning a good credit score will benefit you much more in the long run than passing off someone else\u2019s good credit as your own.\n9 Most Important Things to Know About Credit Repair\nFacebook ad www.progressive.ua",

        "raw_content": "Word of the Week: Poetaster\nby Naomi L. | June 15, 2015 | Blog, Word of the Week | 2 comments\nWord: poetaster\nPronunciation: POH-\u0259t-as-t\u0259r\nDefinition: a person who writes inferior poetry\nBet you can\u2019t guess where I learned this week\u2019s vocabulary word. To save you the trouble, I\u2019ll tell you that I came across it while looking up VOCALOID music on YouTube, when I found a metal song titled \u201cPoetaster and Singing Dolls\u201c. Despite being terribly distracted by the artwork featuring Gakupo and Kaito in gothic attire (permission to fangirl, please?), I still managed to pay enough attention to the title to wonder what the word \u201cpoetaster\u201d meant. I was intrigued from the moment I first read it, and after I looked it up, I quickly fell in love with it. Not that I wanted to be one myself, of course; after all, when it comes to my poetry, I always strive to write the best I possibly can.\nA \u201cpoetaster\u201d is an unskilled poet, that is, someone who writes poetry of inferior quality. The word was coined in the late 16th century by the Dutch Renaissance humanist Erasmus as a derogatory term for individuals who are implied to be pretentious about artistic value. This word is originally Latin and is comprised of the noun poeta \u201cpoet\u201d and the suffix -aster, which is used to express incomplete resemblance to something in a negative way.\nThough I loved the word \u201cpoetaster\u201d as soon as I learned its definition, I confess it\u2019s something that I\u2019ve sometimes feared I might be. Every writer doubts the quality of their work from time to time, and though I prefer writing short stories and flash fiction, I don\u2019t take any less care when writing poetry. In all fairness, the term \u201cpoetaster\u201d seems to apply to unskilled poets who think they\u2019re tremendously talented, so I suppose any writer is safe from this insult as long as they remain humble about their work. A couple of synonyms for \u201cpoetaster\u201d are \u201crhymester\u201d and \u201cversifier\u201d, though these tend to be ambiguous while the former is always negative. If you\u2019ve written a character who\u2019s pretentious about poetry, you may have a \u201cpoetaster\u201d lurking in your stories. Just take care not to be one yourself!",

We continue to work long days and nights as both chambers of the House and Senate vote on final passage of bills. We are also working on small adjustments to our supplemental operating, transportation, and capital budgets. We will continue to work hard to adjourn on March 10.\nEarlier this session, I introduced The Lighthouse Bill which would help create job opportunities for the blind. This bill would require the reference of public purchasing and a priority choice for blind-made services to be added to current law. The current state statute says that all things being held equal, like price, a like market, and like availability, a Washington state government purchaser should give consideration first to blind-made services. The state's procurement process seems to have missed this component. My bill simply affirms the current procurement process. Both the House and Senate agree to the importance of this bill as it was unanimously passed. It now moves to Governor Inslee's desk for his signature.\nCurrent Legislative Video Update\nMy video update this week highlights the Lighthouse Bill and other happenings around your state Legislature.\nI had the opportunity to do a radio interview with the KXLY Morning Show this week. It is always a pleasure to work with our local radio stations to provide updates on what is happening in Olympia. Thank you for taking the time and allowing me to be a small part of your morning commute and discuss where we currently sit as we near the end of session. In case you missed this interview, you can listen to it here.\nFinally, I want to give a shout out to all the families of our Representatives and Senators of the 6th District! Thank you for holding down the fort while we are 300 miles away in Olympia. You are all heroes and we look forward to seeing you, and all the great people of the district, very soon!\nI thank you for taking the time to read my email updates.

We should begin to discuss how best to use what open access gives us: the unfettered availability of scholarly literature.\nThe authors, from PLoS, practically spell out a research agenda. Here are their questions on topics close to my heart:\nHow will the role of the research library change, as open-access scholarly communication becomes more widely practiced? To what extent will librarians be freed from the burdens of subscription management?\nWill libraries continue to serve as intermediaries through which researchers find open-access information, as well as that available only through subscription, and how?\nThose questions relate not just to academic libraries, but to the mission of colleges and universities. The time has come for a comprehensive review of how best to pay for the dissemination of professors\u2019 work.\nScott, this one\u2019s for you:\n\u2026what kinds of discoveries might result from searchable, open archives of peer-reviewed, full-text scientific literature?

That means the usual online vendors will be renting and selling downloads of the film.\nThere\u2019s a limited theatrical run of the film this summer as well.\nThe concert was a big step for us in the band\u2014it took what we were doing with our expanded lineup to a very theatrical level\u2026and yet, even with all the conceptual baggage, the energy and excitement of the music and performance were never lost.\nFilm director Jonathan Demme directed (I had seen and loved his film Melvin and Howard\u2014his larger successes came later) and Jordan Cronenweth (Blade Runner) shot it. Jonathan brought out both the interrelationships between the band members and the narrative arc that were always a subtext in a Talking Heads concert\u2014essentially turning the live show into an ensemble narrative movie.\nWe in the band were thrilled at the result. When the movie came out in the \u201880s, audiences danced in the movie theaters\u2014pretty much wherever it was shown, which includes many countries around the world.\nHere\u2019s a link to the press release and the schedule of theatrical screenings.\nHere is a tribute band that does the show live!\nHere is a link to Japanese designer Jun Takahashi\u2019s rip off of the logo.\nStop Making Sense Project\nTalking Heads Chronology Project",

Particularly its waterfront setting, the view from the hills over the city and the sea, the marked differences in elevation and a potential beacon function at the head of the former port area are seen as essential elements.\nIn the programme for the building, much attention is paid to clear access, optimum separation of public and support functions, a good routing in the public domain, a foyer that meets the requirement of multifunctional use and of course auditoria that are optimally suited to different types of use.\nAn important basic design criterion is the separation between a public and a general/technical services route. In concrete terms this means a design in which the public enters the building from the top, while access for artists, deliveries and personnel has been organised at the lower quay level.\nEntering the theatre and concert hall from the top, at approximately 14 metres above the quay level, allows visitors to make their way through the building in a theatrical manner. This public deck represents an essential element in the organisation and structure of the building. The deck can be seen as a large folded floor that facilitates all the public functions. Thus the lowermost rows of seats in the theatre and the concert hall have been sunken into the floor while, in contrast, the foyer \u2013 with all its forms of multifunctional use \u2013 derives its form from the inverted shape of these auditoria.",

        "raw_content": "Movie Review: The Men Who Stare at Goats\nAlternate Title: Return of the Jedi\nStory: This is a little film that sadly, is dead on arrival. So what happened? It had an interesting premise but director Grant Heslov did not seem to have a point of view. It rambled, zig zagged, was unfocused and downright disappointing. It was written by Peter Straughan and based on the nonfiction book by Jon Ronson.\nA young reporter, who is going through a divorce, is looking for meaning and excitement in his life. He wants to get to Iraq and do some serious war reporting. Unsuccessful at that endeavor, he latches on to an older soldier who was part of special unit of 'monk-warriors' back in the 80's. These soldiers were trained to use their psychic power to thwart the enemy. Various methods were used in this cockamamie division including remote viewing, psychedelic drugs and staring down goats until their hearts stopped. (The silence of the goats).\nIf that sounds confusing, you can imagine watching it for 90 minutes. The film hobbles back and forth from past to present and is clumsy in its efforts. It is supposed to be an anti-war spoof but unfortunately it is a bust.\nBaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SreufFevUSw\nActing: George Clooney as Lyn Cassady repeats his performance from Brother, Where art Thou? Lots of eye-popping and rolling. But then again, I like to just look at George Clooney. He does not have to do anything. Ewan McGregor as the young reporter plays his innocent (Moulin Roube) character and his accent is terrible. Jeff Bridges as Bill Django is The Dude, from the Big Lebowski (one of my favorite films). Kevin Spacey is nuts and has a terrible wig.\nTrivia: Director Grant Heslov directed the short film Waiting for Woody (1998) about a Woody Allen fan. In 2006, Grant was competing for an Oscar in the same category as Woody Allen. He often works with George Clooney.\nHe and George Clooney founded the production company Smoke House after Clooney's production company Section Eight closed down. On the DVD commentary for Good Night, and Good Luck. (2005), George Clooney says that shortly after he met Grant Heslov in 1982, Heslov loaned Clooney $200.00 to buy his first set of head shots, and they have been friends ever since (and later writing and producing partners).\nCritters: Goats, gerbils\nFood: Twizzlers, eggs\nSex Spectrum: Some brief butt shots and a few boobies in a hot tub.\nSoundtrack: Eclectic (Boston's More than a Feeling is all I remember)\nOpening Titles: A sequence about the young reporter.\nVisual Art: It is filmed in the desert of New Mexico (instead of Iraq)\nTheater Audience: Five old goats and me.\nDrift Factor: I started drifting after 30 minutes.\nPredictability Level: I did not care\nLength: 90 painful minutes",

Playgrounds, Clean streets, and polluted free air is necessary for their healthy growth.\nFurther, we can that our new generation is prone to the bad habits and has become the victim of corruption and demoralization. Being a parent it is our responsibility that we should tell them what is right? What is wrong?\nFor this purpose, we have to keep it in mind that morality cannot be reached by force we have to make them morally conscious by telling them. It is also our responsibility that being parents we should try to put this nation (idle) in the mind of adults that life is not meaningless. Life has its purpose and if you have to aim them nothing is impossible for you.\nI would like to sum up the issue by saying that these are all our responsibilities but unfortunately we are neglecting them we just want to have a good result without making any efforts and putting a blame on our new generation by closing our eyes from the facts.\nIf you want to share something interesting in this Essay on Children and Our Responsibilities.

        "title": "Sharing the beauty of Korea\u2019s moon jar-INSIDE Korea JoongAng Daily",
        "raw_content": "Sharing the beauty of Korea\u2019s moon jar\nHwang Kyu-wan, director of the Seokgyeong Antique Association, looks at moon jar pieces he created in his workshop in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi. [PARK SANG-MOON]\nThe tradition of ceramic art travels back thousands of years to when people started burning clay in fire to create the most primitive forms of earthenware. Among the thousands of different styles that would have been created during that time, one type that embodies the Korean spirit the best is definitely the moon jar.\nThe moon jar, or the Joseon (1392-1910) Baekja Daeho as it was known, was first created between the late 17th century and early 18th century in the Gwangju region of Gyeonggi. Apart from its ivory white color, the Baekja Daeho was different from the other popular forms of ceramic from back then in that it was big - usually over 40 centimeters (1 foot, 3 inches) - and only had a single circular curve that made it look like a round moon; hence the name moon jar. With its pure colors and elegant form, the moon jar is enough to represent Korea and the Korean spirit on a global level.\nThough the beauty of the ceramics is becoming more widely known, it wasn\u2019t until 2005, when the National Palace Museum of Korea put on the \u201cBaekja Moon Jar\u201d exhibition as its opening exhibit, that people were made aware that such a beautiful object existed in our history. As of this year, there are only about 30 original moon jars left in the world.\nSomeone who has dedicated his life trying to spread the beauty of the moon jar is Hwang Kyu-wan, the director of the Seokgyeong Antique Association. Having spent 50 years in the traditional arts, he has a special affection for the moon jar, and as an old arts collector, he has ventured into creating his very own moon jars and even painting pictures of them.\nHwang had a very unique childhood. His uncle was the head of what would later become the Korean National Police Agency during the Syngman Rhee regime, and so he had many opportunities to interact with the then-president. According to Hwang, Rhee would practice his handwriting on the back of printed police schedules or on the back of letters he received. When Rhee threw away the papers after he was done, the young Hwang would collect them - making him the owner of many of Rhee\u2019s autographs. Later, Hwang even held an exhibition of Rhee\u2019s writings.\nIt was then that Hwang realized his affinity for collecting things. During middle school, he collected stamps. As he got older, he sought out old currency - he collected enough to buy two houses, says Hwang. He would often frequent antique shops located in Insa-dong, central Seoul, in search of treasures to add to his collection. And it was there that he developed a love for traditional arts, especially ceramics.\nWhen he was in university, all he could think about were traditional arts. Not only ceramics, but calligraphy and painting also stole his heart. The more he fell in love with the traditional arts, the more he felt the need to have a professional knowledge of them.\nSo he went around getting acquainted with experts in the field. The list of friends he made back then include: Sung Sam Park (also known as Sam Park), commonly referred to as the father of contemporary woodcraft; doctor Han Gi-taek; the late painter Chang Woo-soung; calligrapher Son Jae-hyung and scholar Lee Ga-won. Former directors of the National Museum of Korea Jeong Yang-mo and Choi Sun-woo also offered their knowledge to Hwang. He also formed the Korean Museum Association with artist Jo Ja-ryong.\nHwang is confident that no one has seen the Joseon Baekja Daeho moon jar as much as he has. He didn\u2019t just look at the jars with his eyes, he feels it with all of his senses and gets close to it. It was in his 30s that he started making his own moon jar, going beyond just appreciating the beauty with his eyes. It wasn\u2019t to start selling them or become famous, but purely from the joy and desire to give birth to a Joseon moon jar with his own hands.\nHowever, it was difficult to create a moon jar that had the right proportions. So he passed on his knowledge to moon jar craftsman Shin Chul, and he went on to painting the ceramic pieces instead. He always had a habit of sketching and drawing ceramic pieces after he saw them in a museum, which made him surprisingly talented at painting moon jars too. In 2003, he held his first moon jar painting exhibition in Auch, France.\nHwang Kyu-wan has dedicated his life to spreading the beauty of the moon jar through many different medium, such as through his own paintings, left, and collaboration with other artists. Top right is a piece made with lacquerware master Kim Young-jun and above right, the Moon Jar dance with Nam Young-ho. [PARK SANG-MOON]\nAccording to Hwang, the moon jar embodies the eight values of a good person, referred to as hyojechungsin yeuiyeomchi in Chinese characters - respecting one\u2019s parents, loving one\u2019s brothers, loyalty to the king, trust between friends, manners, justice, cleanliness and humility. Through the messages of the moon jar, he feels the teachings of Lao-tzu, who emphasized the importance of naturalism. As these are the values that all people should carry, he himself is always trying to become the moon jar himself.\nTo those studying art, Hwang recommends they go to the museum as often as possible and observe moon jars there. If one can fully express the elegant curves and balance found within the moon jar, then they will become masters of any kind of art Hwang believes. Each moon jar contains the curves of not only calligraphy, but all forms of art, existing in harmony. Hwang says it is important to draw them hundreds of times, not just look at them. The more you draw, the more an artist will see themselves develop over time.\nHe has spent his life devoted to the moon jar and getting people to love them just as much as he does. To ensure that people learn more about ceramics, he paints moon jars for everyone to see. He also gives birth to new forms of the moon jar through different mediums of art.\nHwang has long made efforts to find unique ways of bringing the moon jar into people\u2019s lives not only on his own but through collaborations with other artists. He asked dancer Nam Young-ho to choreograph a performance about the beauty of the moon jar in France. With help from porcelain artisan Oh Joo-hyun, he\u2019s trying to spread the beauty of Korean ceramics to the world. And his collaboration with craftsman Kim Young-jun, famous for his lacquerware works, gives a modern twist to the moon jar that\u2019s never been seen before.",

        "raw_content": "Homecoming Spotlight \u2013 Fictionist\nSeptember 19, 2016 September 19, 2016 Kimberly RodriguezMusic BlogEP, Fictionist, Homecoming, Independent\nIt\u2019s that time again to welcome back students and alumni to celebrate being a University of Utah Ute. Homecoming week will run from September 30th to October 9th. During this week, there will be many entertaining festivities from Songfest in the Union to the Crimson Rally on the Union Lawn. Let\u2019s not forget the biggest highlight of Homecoming: the football game against Arizona. With all of the excitement, what better way to start Homecoming week than with the Student Dance featuring native Utah band Fictionist.\nHailing from Provo, Utah, Fictionist consists of singer and bass guitarist Stuart Maxfield, singer and guitarist Robbie Connolly, guitarist and bass guitarist Brandon Kitterman, and drummer Aaron Anderson. With the exception of Anderson, the band had been playing music together since their high school days in Salt Lake City. With their realistic lyrics, energetic melodies, and astonishing guitar solos by Connolly, the band has garnered lots of attention. Their first album Invisible Hand, released in 2009, won an Independent Music Award for Best Pop/Rock Song for their single of the same name. They yet again managed to win the same award in 2011 for their song Blue-Eyed Universe from their second album Lasing Echo.\nDuring that same year, Fictionist received the great honor of being one of sixteens bands to compete in Rolling Stone Magazine\u2019s \u201cDo You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star\u201d contest. The winner would land a coveted spot on the magazine\u2019s cover and a record deal with Atlantic Records. Although they were eliminated in the fourth round, they left a positive impression and were still signed to Atlantic. Through their new label, they released a 6-track EP titled Fictionist \u2013 EP.\nThings seemed to look up for Fictionist as they were working on new music and they even got to tour with Imagine Dragons and Neon Trees. All seemed to be going well, but unfortunately, the relationship with their record company was quickly deteriorating. In an interview with the Daily Herald, Maxfield is quoted saying, \u201cIn hindsight, everything about how things came together was wrong.\u201d The band felt as though their label did not understand them as they were asked to rewrite many of their songs and omit many of their signature sounds. In the end, they never released their album and were dropped from the label, but the group was anything from sorrowful. They kept their head high and looked back at the experience with gratitude as it gave them more of an opportunity to rehearse and work on new material they were actually enthusiastic about.\nFinally free from Atlantic, Fictionist has been rediscovering what kind of music they wanted to produce with the release of Free Spirit \u2013 EP. While being a relatively short EP, only consisting of four songs, it packs enough of a punch to leave the listener wanting more. The opening track Free Spirit sets the tone with an exceptionally cheerful tune that would have anyone jumping around. This song might be their farewell from their old label with the lyrics, \u201cBut you don\u2019t have to stick around/if you don\u2019t want to.\u201d We Can Sleep When We Die is one of the more mellow songs with a slower tempo. However, it never lacks the upbeat theme of the EP. High Society brings the funk with its moody bass and grungy guitar. Fictionist proudly closes with the most spirited track Right Now. Maxfield passionately sings throughout the song with triumphant electric beats wonderfully complimenting him.\nHomecoming week kicks off on September 30th with the Student Dance taking place at The Depot at 8:00 p.m.",

John lives in Kansas City, and he \"came out to a show that we were doing for St. Jude, and he had actually been here a decade ago when I first came, and we met,\" Niemann recalls.\n\"And to see him be cancer free after all these years, and St. Jude's still paying attention, saying, 'Hey, we need you to come in every six months,' or whether it's a year or five years, depending on the length of time they've been cancer-free. I just love how no one's ever just cut out,\" he says. \"They're still part of the family. And to see a child now as an adult, it was very surreal.

The hospital's mission is to \"advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment.\" In keeping with the hospital's guiding principles, no family ever has to pay for treatment at St. Jude. The hospital freely shares its research with other hospitals around the world.\nCountry Cares for St. Jude has been raising money for the cause for decades, and on Feb. 1-2 Taste of Country is joining over a dozen Townsquare Media radio stations to help raise money for the important work by sharing stories from country stars and the kids of St. Jude.\nYou can aid in the important work St. Jude does by becoming a partner in hope.

        "title": "Federal Criminal Plea Agreements: What You Need To Know",
        "raw_content": "FEDERAL CRIMINAL PLEA AGREEMENTS: WHAT YOU NEED KNOW\nAs opposed to federal criminal plea agreements, state plea agreements almost always involve a plea to a certain sentence whether it be a particular term of probation or a particular number of days or months in jail or prison. Like most contracts, each side knows what it is getting and what it is giving up when a defendant enters a plea agreement. Federal criminal plea agreements in federal court are entirely different. Indeed, unless a defendant has a skilled and very persuasive lawyer, there is no \u201cguaranteed\u201d sentence when a defendant pleads guilty in federal court. A defendant enters his or her guilty plea \u201cblind\u201d without knowing what his or her ultimate sentence will be. This is because sentences in federal court are determined by a defendant\u2019s sentencing guidelines. These guidelines are based upon a myriad of factors. While a defendant\u2019s attorney can give the defendant an estimate as to what their guideline sentence will be, there is no guarantee. A defendant ordinarily must plead guilty and then the sentencing is held a few months later.\nIt is only after the plea is entered that the probation office does an initial calculation of the defendant\u2019s sentencing guidelines. Either the government or the defendant can file objections to those calculations but those objections are resolved until the sentencing hearing. Moreover, judges are no longer required to follow the sentencing guidelines and can give a sentence lower or higher than provided for by the guidelines. The only protection a defendant usually has is that they cannot be sentenced higher than the \u201cstatutory penalty\u201d (in other words the maximum penalty provided for in the statute that the defendant is alleged to have violated). This is one of the primary reasons that a defendant charged in federal court must have a lawyer who regularly practices in federal court, as opposed to state court. As mentioned above, a skilled lawyer can try to negotiate one of the rare \u201cguaranteed\u201d pleas. If that fails, a skilled lawyer, as opposed to a lawyer who does not practice regularly in federal court, will likely be able to give a defendant an accurate prediction of what his or her sentencing guidelines will likely be so that a plea is not totally \u201cblind.\u201d Moreover, a skilled lawyer can file appropriate objections to how the probation officer calculates the guidelines and prepare an appropriate sentencing memorandum to convince the judge to impose a sentence below what is called for by the guidelines.\nSo, if the sentences in federal court are usually not guaranteed upon a plea of guilty, why should a defendant plead guilty at all? In a small number of cases, the government might allow a person to plead guilty to a lesser offense (such as a misdemeanor rather than a felony) or drop a count that carries a mandatory consecutive penalty (such as using a gun in connection with a crime of violence or drug trafficking offense) in exchange for that person pleading guilty. The reality, however, is that, in most cases, prosecutors give up absolutely nothing in exchange for guilty pleas. Nevertheless, there is a huge incentive to plead guilty in federal court in cases in which a defendant has little or no defense to the charges. This is because the sentencing guidelines in federal court provide for a reduction of a defendant\u2019s sentence by 2 or 3 levels if a person pleads guilty and, thereby, \u201caccepts responsibility.\u201d This can often reduce a sentence by at least a year and often by several years and is why so many defendants ultimately enter guilty pleas in federal court.\nStill, the question remains as to whether a defendant should enter a plea agreement in federal court as opposed to pleading guilty without a plea agreement. As explained above, a plea agreement in federal court will rarely guarantee a particular sentence. Also a plea agreement is not required to obtain the \u201cacceptance or responsibility\u201d reduction discussed in the preceding paragraph. Therefore, as we will explain, it is very important for a lawyer to analyze each individual case to determine if his or her client benefits from a proposed plea agreement. This is because, in many federal districts, a defendant will be required to give up his or her right to appeal their sentence as part of a plea agreement. We cannot emphasize enough that the right to appeal is a very valuable right and careful thought must be given before a defendant agrees to wive such an important right.\nAs mentioned above, in a small number of cases, a prosecutor will allow a defendant to plea guilty to a lesser offense or drop a count that requires a consecutive sentence. In those cases, it may very well be in a defendant\u2019s best interest to enter a plea agreement even if the defendant must give up his right to appeal. In many other cases, prosecutors will try to trick a naive defense attorney by agreeing to drop some charges in exchange for a plea agreement in which a defendant waives his right to appeal. For example, the prosecutor might agree to allow a defendant to plead to one drug delivery charge and drop three others. Nevertheless, the defendant and the naive defense attorney will not understand that the other three deliveries will still be used to compute the defendant\u2019s sentencing guidelines so that the defendant gains almost nothing by the dropping of the three other charges.\nLawyers often win appeals after a sentencing judge has miscalculated a defendant\u2019s sentencing guidelines. Therefore, before a defendant gives up his right to appeal in a plea agreement in federal court, it is imperative that the defendant be sure that they are getting a benefit in the plea agreement. Otherwise, they are giving up their right to appeal and getting nothing for giving up that valuable right. Moreover, in most cases, a defendant will not know if there are any appellate issues regarding the guidelines until after they have entered the plea agreement giving up their right to appeal.\nIn short, in many federal cases, even if a defendant decides to enter a guilty plea, it may make no sense at all to enter a plea agreement if that plea agreement requires the defendant to waive the right to appeal. Again, only a lawyer that regularly practices in federal court can tell a defendant whether they should enter a plea agreement. Nevertheless, any defendant who is considering entering a guilty plea in federal court pursuant to a plea agreement must be sure to ask their attorney what benefit the government is giving them in the plea agreement and what they are giving up. A defendant should also beware of the answer that the benefit is that the government is dropping some of the counts against them. If that is the answer, the next question should be whether the dropped charges can still be used to compute the defendant\u2019s sentencing guidelines because, if the answer to that question is \u201cyes,\u201d dropping some of the charges is actually no benefit at all and certainly not one worth giving up a defendant\u2019s valuable right to appeal.",

        "raw_content": "Michael Tran/Getty Images(BERLIN) -- As a young, female movie producer working in Hollywood in the 1980s, Gale Anne Hurd struggled for her talents to be recognized by her male peers.\nAlthough she'd already produced and co-wrote her first feature film, The Terminator, which was a blockbuster hit, some potential employers accused her of receiving credit for work she hadn't done.\n\"I was asked at one point, how can a little girl like you produce a big movie like this?\" she recalled, speaking at a Berlin Film Festival event on Friday.\nNow a bonafide hotshot in the business, having produced Aliens, The Walking Dead and receiving a star on the Hollywood walk of Fame, Hurd is a role model for women struggling to make it in the male-dominated industry that many believe is becoming more progressive as the #MeToo movement gains momentum.\n\"There is still a sense that there are things 'women can\u2019t do,'\" she told the audience. \"There are socio-cultural biases that people aren't even aware of, and that's something we can all work proactively to change.\u201d\nRepresenting Women in Film L.A., Hurd was in Berlin to celebrate the launch of the new Alliance of Women's Networks, as well as the financial initiative 10% for 50/50 -- a program that offers discounts for productions on which an equal number of men and women work. Such initiatives are aimed at promoting a greater inclusion of women in the industry. Only 4 percent of the 100 top-grossing films of 2018 were directed by women, according to the Center for The Study of Women in Television and Film.\nThe Berlin Film festival, now in its 69th year, also is stepping up to gender equality. In an event organized by Women in Film and Television on Friday, Berlin Film Festival director Dieter Kosslick signed a pledge for gender parity, promising that the festival work toward having an equal gender ratio in various areas of the festival's leadership and publishing gender statistics on films submitted to the festival. The pledge was launched in Cannes in 2018 by French organization 5050x2020 and has already been signed onto by a number of other international festivals in Venice and Sarajevo.\nHowever, the Berlin Film Festival is already ahead of the curve when it comes to promoting women in leadership roles. According to the festival's annual gender survey, 63 percent of the leadership positions in the festival's 15 sections are women.\n\"During the two last decades the female representation has completely changed at Berlinale and I am happy it has gone up,\" Kosslick told ABC in a statement.\nIn this year's main competition category, seven out of 17 films were from female filmmakers, compared to three by women at Cannes last year and just one in Venice.\nNext year, Berlinale will change leadership, and its new head is tipped to be Mariette Rissenbeek, who would be the first woman to lead a major film festival.\n\"What's changed is that we have changed,\" said Kissy Dugan, Italy's representative for the new Alliance of Women's Networks. \"We have gotten together, crossed cultures and borders and boundaries to take responsibility for gender parity.\"\nWith more women producing, directing and writing, Hurd said she feels there's momentum sweeping the industry.\n\"The point is that it's not a wave you let carry you forward and recede back into the ocean,\" she said. \"We need to keep pushing to take back this initial progress and make it something that's not just a temporary solution to a temporary problem and make it the face of the industry.\"",

Celebrating its 110 years of existence in August, The Polo Club of Deauville was then born in 1907.\n1950 the polo club started with the creation of the Gold Cup by Fran\u00e7ois Andr\u00e9, whose founder was the Barri\u00e8re Group.

        "raw_content": "For those disenfranchised and left behind by both political parties over two decades, Donald Trump provided the hope to level the playground. Hillary Clinton and the Democrats had no attraction, as their promise was to continue the status quo to.\nHillary and her staffers rejected what their eyes told them when viewing the fervent Trump supporters. Those voters were as alien as Trump and his rampaging messages of hate and destruction. Rather than questioning the reasons for Trump\u2019s support, they were classified as \u201cdeplorable.\u201d\nThe Democrats and those truly sick of Trump may be expecting a \u201cblue wave\u201d in November. Their hopes may not be realized in the absence of a message to the disaffected that they deserve the right to regain power.\nThe Democrats cannot depend upon anti-Trump voters to turn Congress. Theirs must be a local and national platform that makes realistic and comprehensible promises for which they must be measured and held accountable.\nJust stating Dems have a \u201clarge tent\u201d is not going to work. Neither is attacking the wealthy who have been enriched by Trump and the Republicans. The Democrats must state as Winston Churchill \u201cto tell the truth.\u201d\nMany in our nation have been left behind by politicians pandering to special interest groups. Technology has destroyed blue-collar jobs and they will not return.\nTo the devastated Rust Belt and poorly educated among us, realistic federal programs must be created, funded and run long term to lift low-skill workers into the 21st century.\nTell the truth, state it will be hard and costly, and forgo playing to select interest groups that may be relied upon for votes, but cannot alter the future for those who found Trump a false prophet.",

        "raw_content": "So is Celebrity Big Brother racist? Who gives a damn? The real racism that week was aired on Channel 4s Dispatches programme where we were treated to the unedifying sight of various muslim preachers of hate (for that is what they are) calling for Jihad against the infidel (thats you and me, folks). I waited with baited breath for the powers that be to spring into action and arrest them on any one of a dozen charges...........................and im still waiting. Big Brothers name calling \"racism\" was no doubt used as a distraction from the real extremists exposed within the muslim communities, even to the extent of questions being raised in parliament, keeping the chattering classes busy with another red herring, rather than addressing the real issues. Not surprisingly there was no condemnation by muslim \"community leaders\" or by any members of our government. I understand that some of these mosques are either wholly or partly publicly funded and yet again NO QUESTIONS were raised by anybody with access to the purse strings! To my mind all monies should be withdrawn immediately until the muslim communities get their house in order. In addition all footage collected by channel 4 should be passed to the police for further investigation prior to criminal proceedings being issued against these extremist preachers of hate. I could rail on but those of you who have seen the programme will know how much vile hatred was spewed our way during the programme.

        "raw_content": "Greatest Risk in School Travel Is Not on School Buses\nWASHINGTON -- Children are at far more risk traveling to and from school in private passenger vehicles -- especially if a teen-age driver is involved -- than in school buses, says a new report from the National Academies' Transportation Research Board. Bicycling and walking also place students at greater risk than traveling by school bus. National data assessing the risk of different modes of school transportation need to be made available to help parents, students, and officials at the state and local levels make more informed decisions regarding safety, said the committee that wrote the report.\n\"Each state, school district, and private school must assess its own situation and circumstances,\" said committee chair H. Douglas Robertson, director, Highway Safety Research Center, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. \"The goal is to improve the safety of all children traveling to and from school, and to provide information to communities so that they can make informed choices that balance their needs and resources.\"\nEvery year, about 800 school-age children are killed in motor vehicle crashes during normal school travel hours -- weekday mornings and afternoons during school months -- accounting for about 14 percent of the 5,600 child deaths that occur on the nation's roadways. Of these 800 deaths, only about 2 percent are school-bus related, while 74 percent occur in private passenger vehicles and 22 percent are the result of pedestrian or bicycle accidents. More than half of all deaths of children between age 5 and 18 occur during normal school travel hours when a teen-ager is driving.\nWhen students are injured or killed in crashes involving school buses, the link to school travel seems obvious, but when such casualties occur while traveling to and from school by other modes of transportation, the association is often not made. Congress asked the National Research Council to study the safety issues posed by all travel modes so that an accurate comparison could be made.\nThe report considered six transportation modes. In assessing buses, the committee looked at school buses as well as public transit buses and motorcoach services. Passenger vehicles were divided into two categories, those driven by individuals 19 or older and those driven by operators under 19 years of age, mostly students. Data on pedestrians and bicyclists traveling to and from school also were examined.\nThe dramatic difference in risk across transportation modes at the national level suggests that more can be done to manage and reduce those dangers, the committee said. School districts should facilitate travel by safer modes while working to improve others that are less safe. For example, walking and bicycling could be made safer by improving sidewalks and protection at street crossings as well as building more bike paths. A dialogue among parents, schools, and other relevant organizations also needs to be established, encouraging collaboration to promote safe practices for students using all modes.\nTo help identify the risks of school travel, the committee developed a risk-management framework. This framework should be included among the tools used to make decisions on locations of schools, changes in the amount of student parking provided, or changes in the area serviced by school buses. For example, increasing the distance that students must live from school to qualify for school-bus service may save money but it also shifts children to travel modes that are less safe. Alternatively, providing school-bus service for middle school children attending after-school activities could reduce the risk of injury and fatality significantly. These examples, however, are based on national averages and do not reflect the variations that exist on a local or school-district level.\nMore research and evaluation are needed to provide local decision-makers with better guidance on how to reduce school travel risks, the committee said. Data limitations also pose problems. At present, a lack of uniformity in local- and state-level data hinders risk analyses in individual school districts. National data provide helpful insights, but could be improved by using consistent definitions. Before gathering new data, however, the cost-effectiveness of doing so needs to be examined.\nThe study was sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation. The National Research Council is the principal operating arm of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering. It is a private, nonprofit institution that provides independent advice on science and technology issues under congressional charter.

        "raw_content": "Studying the International Travel Insurance Scene\nStudent international travel insurance is affordable. In fact, it's almost always the most affordable of any international travel insurance. In many cases, students aren't the only one who qualify, either. Some student international travel insurance carriers offer the student coverage and rates not only to full time and part time college students but also to their dependents and other family members, as well as visiting faculty and other scholars. The age limit on this student coverage is typically 49 years of age.\nThese low-cost student international travel insurance carriers sometimes provide one hundred percent of the cost of covered events such as illness, injury, evacuation and repatriation. Many student international travel insurance carriers offer choices of coverage, so that you can pick and choose the coverage limits you wish and can afford.\nOne carrier, for example, provides three plans, all of which can be quoted and purchased online. The minimum level, the least costly student international travel insurance policy, provides a $100,000 ceiling for medical coverage, but only $50,000 for a single incident. The deductible for each incident is $150. Were you, your loved one, or anyone's remains require repatriation, the payment with this student international travel insurance would be up to $25,000. Emergency evacuation coverage at this level is $50,000. $10,000 is the ceiling for AD&D (accidental death and dismemberment.) Depending on your age premium for this coverage can be as low as $59.\nThe best coverage, with a price tag of $69, increases your ceilings on many of the coverage events. With this top-notch student international travel insurance you would realize a lifetime ceiling of $250,000, and each event, whether illness or injury, would have its own ceiling of $150,000. Your deductible is lowered to $90 per event, although the limits for repatriation ($50,000), emergency evacuation ($50,000) and accidental death and dismemberment coverage ($10,000) remain the same no matter which student international travel insurance level of coverage you choose.\nWhen you purchase your student international travel insurance online you'll be required to supply your destination, travel dates or length of stay, your age and the age of anyone in your travel group and whether you are a student. As a student you'll need to supply your college name and location as well as your program of study.\nSteve Cogger is an avid traveler offering a wealth of travel information.

        "raw_content": "'There's nothing left here anymore' -- Hurricane Michael takes the town of Mexico Beach\n(CNN) - Mexico Beach, Florida, is not just destroyed. For the most part, it's not there anymore.\nHurricane Michael's wind and storm surge ripped up buildings like posies and carried them inland. Where homes and hotels once stood, offering premium views of the Gulf of Mexico, a few boards lay scattered across foundations.\nA few structures in this town of 1,200 remain standing, but they're the exceptions. And that's not all that's missing.\nFood is in short supply. Residents are scavenging in the street for food that spilled out of a convenience store. The Red Cross is setting up feeding stations. Holmes County sheriff's deputies are guarding goods and water trucks as they arrive.\nThe situation is so precarious that one local official is warning people to stay away.\n\"The more people that return, it's just going to get in the way,\" Mexico Beach councilwoman Linda Albrecht said. \"Please don't come down.\"\n'Our lives are gone'\nWhile many cities along the Florida Panhandle enjoy the protection of various channel, barrier and tide islands, which can help stifle the impact of storm surge on the mainland, Mexico Beach sits between Crooked Island and the St. Joseph Peninsula, directly on the water.\nCars, mattresses, grills and toilets are tossed all over town. An entire house was thrown 100 yards down the beach, landing on its side.\n\"We had furniture in our house that wasn't even ours,\" resident Scott Boutwell said. When he returned to his home Thursday, he said the only belonging he could find was a briefcase.\nSearch and rescue teams are heading to Mexico Beach, including Tennessee Task Force One, a FEMA Urban response team. The rubble piles and mangled structures, mixed with downed power lines and trees, are expected to complicate recovery efforts.\nRescuers have vowed to press on. In the meantime, residents are taking stock of the damage and looking for their neighbors.\nBoutwell rode out the storm because he didn't think it was going to be so bad. By the time he realized that wasn't true, the bridges were already closed.\nAs Michael's center passed near Mexico Beach, homes \"tumbled and crashed\" on the beach, Boutwell said. Cars floated by. Debris whipped through the air.\n\"When the water came in, houses started floating in front of our home,\" he said. \"Then everything just went black. You couldn't see anything anywhere.\"\nWhen visibility returned, \"we realized everything was gone,\" Boutwell said, including his neighbor's beach home and car. He said he thinks she was home when Michael hit. No one knows where she is, he said.\nEverywhere he looks, the feeling of loss is palpable, he said.\n\"The thing is, this is a small little town,\" he said. \"Every restaurant's gone, every store's gone and then my neighbors -- everybody's homes are gone. ... There's nothing left here anymore.\"\n\"When you think about it, our lives are gone. So what do you do?\"\nRecover could take years\nWhen she dared to look outside, water was grazing the fronds of tall palm trees on the beach. Homes were swallowed in storm surge. Soon enough, Mexico Beach's emerald waters and sugar-sand beaches were covered in a dark sea of debris, she said.\nMichael ripped apart beach homes and boats, she said. As far as she could see, only one home was still intact. The rest were missing roofs or siding.\nThe marina her brother owns is submerged, she said. The docks are gone and several boats were capsized, including one belonging to her brother, she said.\nAsked why her family didn't leave, she said she thought they were safe on the fourth floor of a concrete building. Her home is still standing, unlike others, she said.\nWhen she looks outside, she sees damage that reminds her of Andrew, damage that could take as long to rebound from.\n\"Same devastation. Same winds,\" she said. \"I would have to say at least as long as it did for Hurricane Andrew, and that took months and months. Could be even years.\"",

And she has also suffered some painful moments in her life, be it hiding in the closet or suffering the tragedy of a heartbreak.\nComing Out As Lesbian\nPatricia is the first openly lesbian South American supermodel in the world. However, she had to struggle a lot to come out of the closet. While in Venezuela, she had successfully hidden her sexuality from her family. A press report had even tried to reveal her sexual identity; however, it failed miserably in its attempt.\nYou May Also Like:- Adria Arjona Dating Strong At Age 26; Meet Charming Boyfriend Of Emerald City's Star\nHowever, the 47-year-old actress was not about to hide her sexuality for her whole life. While on a trip to Venezuela for Christmas, the actress revealed her lesbian nature to her mother. Patricia told her mom,\n\"Mama\u00cc\u0081, it\u2019s true. I am gay\"\nAlthough Patricia's mother was shocked initially and started crying, she later relaxed. With a sympathetic gesture towards her daughter, she said to Patricia,\n\"My poor daughter. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you all these years\u2014all these years trying to tell me something and not being able to do it\"\n\"I don\u2019t understand, it\u2019s true. I can\u2019t tell you that I ever will. It\u2019s hard for me to understand that world, but I\u2019m here for you and I love you.\"\nPatricia was overwhelmed at her mother's acceptance of her sexuality. After the approval from her mother, Patricia has dated some lesbians.\nLesbian Relationships, One Exception\nPatricia, who established herself as an author after publishing a book titled Straight Walk: A Supermodel's Journey to Finding Her Truth, confirmed her past affair with comedian Sandra Bernhard in the memoir.\nThe 5' 8\" (1.73 m) tall actress revealed in the book that she became aware of her true sexuality after meeting the bisexual comedian in the 90s. She further mentioned that she had never kissed a girl before meeting Sandra. The pair dated for a while but fell deeply for each other in the short duration.\nPatricia wrote in her book,\n\"I was deeply in love with Sandra in a way I\u2019d never experienced before.\"\nThe couple broke up after dating for a short period, and Patricia remained heartbroken for two years after their separation.\n\"I cried for two years over Sandra.\"\nSandra was the one she could get married to, but Patricia chose to move on with her life.\nSee Also:- Is Sherry Holmes Married?

The pair dated for eight years, during which Lauren gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Maya. The couple later broke up, and Patricia adopted the kid.\nPatricia is close to her daughter and has taught her some valuable lessons in life. She has even taught about pride and honesty.\nPatricia takes a walk along with daughter Maya in 2011 (Photo: Zodiac/SplashNews)\nAfter her relationship terminated with Sandra, Patricia began dating actress Ileanna Simancas. The couple remained together for two years before finally separating in 2016. An insider revealed that Patricia dumped her lover and Ileanna was devastated after the closure. The source further mentioned that Patricia was always jealous of her partner.\nHowever, Patricia has not only dated women. Back in 1996, she was in a short-lived relationship with Swedish model Marcus Schenkenberg. The pair dated for a short time before finally breaking up. After the split, Marcus commenced his relationship with Kylie Bax in 1999.\nMore From LiveRampUp:- Nazanin Mandi Wiki Reveals Age, Ethnicity, Nationality, Parents Root & Unseen Details\nAs of 2018, Patricia is single and busy focusing her time on her daughter.

Patricia's mother was a descendant of the Wayu group in India, whereas her father was half Indian and half Spanish who worked for the UNESCO. During her childhood, the family moved back and forth from Paris to Mexico before finally settling down in Venezuela. Patricia was raised in a low-income family with her parents often struggling to meet the ends.\nPatricia is close to her family and even bought them a home from her income from photoshoots earlier in her career.

        "raw_content": "Loans \u00bb Mortgage \u00bb Questions \u00bb What is private mortgage insurance (PMI)?\nPrivate mortgage insurance (PMI) is a type of security that is meant to protect a mortgage company from a defaulting borrower. In the event a borrower stops paying his monthly mortgage bill, the PMI will cover the lender by paying out a premium on behalf of the insured borrower.\nBut unlike insurance for automobiles, not everybody needs to take out PMI. Rather, the requirement for mortgage insurance is saved for borrowers who fail to put at least 20 percent down when acquiring their home loan. For those who don\u2019t have 20 percent, or for those who like to forego the down payment, opting for PMI will still allow them to obtain a home ownership.\nA Costly Decision\nBut the decision to willingly take out PMI is not one to be taken lightly because this type of security comes at a hefty price. The cost of PMI ranges, but is typically around 1 percent of the entire loan\u2019s amount every single year. That means on a $200,000 home mortgage loan, a borrower can expect to pay out an additional $2,000 a year on PMI.\nThat $2,000 goes straight to the insurance company and does nothing for the balance of the home loan. Assuming this is a 30-year fixed rate mortgage, the borrower would pay out $60,000 in insurance payments over the loan\u2019s lifetime.\nNow consider a borrower who saved for a 20 percent down payment on this $200,000 home loan. He or she would put down $40,000, but be exempt from the PMI requirement. What may look like a $20,000 savings is actually a full $60,000 savings, since the down payment goes towards the balance of the home loan, whereas the $60,000 spent on PMI does not go towards the balance of the mortgage at all.\nHow to Avoid PMI\nWhile 20 percent down can often take a long time to save up, it may be prudent for a prospective property buyer to wait it out. Or, if the bank of mom and dad is open for business, approach them for a little bit of help.\nIf that option isn\u2019t available, a piggy-back arrangement may be considered. Piggy-backing refers to the practice of taking out multiple mortgage loans in order to satisfy the cost of one property. A borrower would enter what is known as an \u201c80/10/10\u201d agreement, wherein a first loan is taken out for 80 percent of the property\u2019s value, a second \u201cpiggy-back\u201d loan is taken out for 10 percent, and the remaining 10 percent is satisfied in the form of a cash down payment. Combining the 10 percent down payment with the money derived from the piggy-back loan allows the borrower to hit the required 20 percent down payment, and subsequently avoid the necessity for PMI.",

        "raw_content": "Growth of Novels In The Victorian Age\nAn ode the woman herself, Queen Victoria, and the subsequent characteristics of the Victorian period.\nIn an unpredictable, tumultuous era, the stern, staid figure of Queen Victoria came to represent stability and continuity. The adjective \"Victorian\" was first used in 1851 to celebrate the nation's mounting pride in its institutions and commercial success. That year, the global predominance of British industry had emerged incontestably at the original \"world's fair\" in London, the \"Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations,\" which Prince Albert helped organize. Arrayed for the world to see in a vast \"Crystal Palace\" of iron and glass, the marvels of British manufacture achieved a regal stature of their own and cast their allure upon the monarchy in turn. In the congratulatory rhetoric that surrounded the event, the conservative, retiring queen emerged as the durable symbol of her dynamic, aggressively businesslike realm. In succeeding decades, the official portraits of Queen Victoria, gradually aging, reflected her country's sense of its own maturation as a society and world power. Etched by conflict with her prime ministers, the birth of nine children, and the early death of her beloved Prince Albert, Victoria's once pretty face became deeply lined and heavily jowled. Represented as a fairytale teenaged queen at her coronation in 1837, she radiated a youthful enthusiasm that corresponded to the optimism of the earlier 1830s. It seemed a decade of new beginnings. Settling into the role of fertile matron-monarch, she offered a domestic image to match the booming productivity of the 1850s. Reclusive after Albert died in 1861, she eventually took on the austere role of the black-satined Empress of India, projecting a world-weary glumness that lent gravity to the imperial heyday of the 1870s. Finally, as the aged, venerated Widow of Windsor, she became a universal icon, prompting the nostalgic worldwide spectacles of the Golden and Diamond Jubilees in 1887 and 1897.\nEssays Related to Growth of Novels In The Victorian Age\n1.

        "raw_content": "2012 Election, Al Gore, Campaign Finance, Minnick, Poetry, Theodore Roosevelt\nIt\u2019s the Money, Stupid\nA Hundred Years of History\nOn the presidential campaign trail in 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain regularly invoked Theodore Roosevelt as his role model. \u201cI count myself as a conservative Republican, yet I view it to a large degree in the Theodore Roosevelt mold,\u201d McCain told the New York Times in 2008.\nChanneling T.R. certainly has appeal for both Republicans and Democrats. Who other than perhaps a small-government Libertarian wouldn\u2019t want to associate with the memory of one of the four presidents on Mt. Rushmore, a man arguably one of the greatest of the great presidents?\nBut by invoking Roosevelt as a model, McCain, in very many ways an exemplary individual and once upon a time a true maverick, is guilty of historical malpractice. The politics of our nation\u2019s capitol today, and the distinguished senator from Arizona is part of it all, are as removed from the democracy Teddy Roosevelt embraced as Phoenix is removed from an ice flow. One need only look at this week\u2019s news to understand the difference.\nJPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon waltzed into and out of a Senate Banking Committee hearing Wednesday suffering hardly a PR scratch despite the $2 billion plus his bank lost recently in risky financial bets. Washington\u2019s favorite big banker did comment that some of his current and former underlings at the nation\u2019s biggest (or maybe second biggest) financial institution might have to return some of their compensation and Dimon smoothly quoted Harry Truman on where the buck stops. (No commitment from the buck stops here guy as to whether any of his paycheck might be in jeopardy.)\nIn the big picture, as Congressional hearings go, Jamie Dimon before the Senate Banking Committee was a Beltway cake walk. South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint helped set the tone when he said to the banker, \u201cThe intent here is really not to sit in judgment.\u201d Got it.\nIt is substantially easier, I guess, for members of Congress to ask tough questions of former baseball players who might have used certain banned substances than to ask a really tough question of the biggest banker on Wall Street in the wake of the biggest financial crisis in 75 years. I wonder if Rafael Palmeiro, the steroid-abusing, once-a sure-thing Hall of Fame baseball player, who testified under oath before Congress about his transgressions was glued to C-Span for Dimon\u2019s questioning? Palmerio a small-time drug abuser got the wire brush treatment. Jamie Dimon a big-time player who has opposed many regulations of the banking industry got an air kiss.\nThe other big money news this week was that Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson has decided to further exercise his free speech rights and start spending millions on the Super PAC backing Mitt Romney. The numbers are stunning. So far, Adelson has written checks for $35 million and his minions tell Forbes he may be in the campaign for \u201cunlimited\u201d amounts.\nThere seems to be little doubt now that the 2012 election will involve billions \u2013 billions with a B \u2013 of dollars in unregulated, often unreported money from literally a handful of high rollers who, because of their personal financial balance sheets, are able to lavish dollars on the candidates and causes they support \u2013 or oppose.\nIn terms of the presidential election the United States has become, or is dangerously close to becoming, a Banana Republic where the biggest checkbook wins the day. Oligarchs spend money, control the media and determine the course of Russian politics. Can we seriously be that far away? Even the campaigns that benefit from all this lavish spending must be wondering if they can control the essential messages of their own campaigns when some kazillionaire has decided to fund a political action committee and own a few television stations.\nAll of this has happened thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in the now infamous Citizens United case and that bring us full circle back to Teddy Roosevelt. The Supreme Court, by a 5-4 margin, opened the floodgates to all the unregulated, independent and corporate spending by overturning a century of established law, a law dating back to \u2013 that\u2019s right \u2013 the Old Rough Rider.\nRoosevelt, of course, famously spoke of the threat imposed upon a democratic society by what he called \u201cmalefactors of great wealth,\u201d but he also said, \u201cThe death-knell of the republic had rung as soon as the active power became lodged in the hands of those who sought, not to do justice to all citizens, rich and poor alike, but to stand for one special class and for its interests as opposed to the interests of others.\u201d\nAs to the big banks, Roosevelt \u2013 he was the Trust Buster after all \u2013 would not have stopped at bemoaning their enormous influence over our economy and public policy. JPMorgan and the other top four biggest banks essentially control 56% of the entire U.S. economy. Roosevelt would have acted, he would have broken up the biggest banks in the interest of a capitalist system that resists giving so much control of the economy to so few people.\nBut that approach is not an option in these times, even given the continuing danger to the U.S. and world economy presented by JPMorgan-like risk taking. Mention breaking up the big banks or re-regulating them as T.R.\u2019s distant relative did in the 1930s and you won\u2019t be invited back to a Georgetown cocktail party.\nIn his justly famous New Nationalism speech in 1910 \u2013 President Obama tried and mostly failed to capture some of the same Rooseveltian quality in his own recent economic speech \u2013 the 26th president said:\n\u201cAt many stages in the advance of humanity, this conflict between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess is the central condition of progress. In our day it appears as the struggle of freemen to gain and hold the right of self-government as against the special interests, who twist the methods of free government into machinery for defeating the popular will. At every stage, and under all circumstances, the essence of the struggle is to equalize opportunity, destroy privilege, and give to the life and citizenship of every individual the highest possible value both to himself and to the commonwealth. That is nothing new.\u201d\nIt is nothing new. Just over a hundred years ago, the United States had a political leader summoning the country to a higher standard of accountability and behavior. T.R. was a trust buster and an advocate for reducing the enormous reach of money in our politics. There is no one sounding his clarion call today, or if they are their voices are lost in background noise that only money can buy.\nAsk yourself, \u201cWhat would T.R. do?\u201d The great president\u2019s record from 100 years ago tells us and the answer has almost nothing to do with what is happening in our politics in 2012.\n2012 Election, 2016 Election, Al Gore, American Presidents, Campaign Finance, Gingrich, Minnick, Obama, Pete Seeger, Poetry, Politics, Romney, Supreme Court, Theodore Roosevelt\nA New Gilded Age\nA System Awash in Money\nIf Mitt Romney wins the Florida primary Tuesday, as now seems likely, the media scrum following his every move will no doubt credit his win to his new-found aggressiveness in taking on Newt Gingrich, including his clearly superior debate performances during the week leading up to the vote. But that explanation will only be part of the story.\nAdditional credit for Romney\u2019s rebound from what looked like near disaster in South Carolina must go to the faceless, if not altogether nameless, pro-Romney Super PAC \u2013 Restore Our Future. The Super PAC has lavished millions on the Sunshine State to help restore the future of Mitt\u2019s campaign. Of course, Romney is not alone in enjoying the largess of a well-heeled Super PAC. Gingrich has come to depend for television exposure in the dispersed and expensive Florida market on the Super PAC that supports him \u2013 Winning Our Future. Other less well financed Supers are supporting Rick Santorum and Ron Paul and a Super PAC supporting Barack Obama is waiting patiently in the wings.\nThere are so many sleazy angles to the Super PAC story it is difficult to create a priority list of all the real and potential outrages. We are now into the second year of this new 21st Century reality of unlimited, corporate, and often secret money perverting what were our already money drunk campaigns.\nStill in fact what seems like a new reality is really an old American tradition; a tradition of unlimited corporate money in campaigns that dates back more than 100 years to what came to be called the Gilded Age. So, remembering the old admonition that those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it, we have effectively arrived at a new Gilded Age in the year 2012. It\u2019s not necessary to be a good government, goody two shoes to worry that the very nature of our democracy is changing in ways that are profound and deeply troubling in this new age.\nAs the American Enterprise Institutes\u2019 Norm Ornstein wrote recently in The Hill, the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United case \u2013 that\u2019s the now infamous ruling were the Court\u2019s majority overturned a century of settled campaign finance law, allowed unlimited corporate and labor union money to flow to Super PAC\u2019s and equated money with free speech \u2013 has put our politics more and more into the hands of the 21st Century captains of the new Gilded Age.\n\u201cBy giving corporations free rein to meddle in politics without any accountability required, just like in the robber baron days, and by defining money as speech, the court dealt a body blow to American democracy,\u201d Ornstein wrote. \u201cCandidates no longer can focus simply on raising money for their campaigns against other candidates. Because corporations have almost unlimited sums they can put in with no notice, candidates have to raise protection money in advance just in case such a campaign is waged against them.\u201d\nThe website OpenSecrets.org reports that the Romney aligned Super PAC has spent more than $17 million so far, most of it to attack Gingrich. Here\u2019s where the perversion begins. Big money donors give unlimited amounts to the Super PAC\u2019s, often attempting to conceal the real source of the cash, but nonetheless maintaining the ability to curry favor with the candidate supported by the big PAC. One has to be awfully naive to believe that a $1 million donation doesn\u2019t buy more than a thank you note.\nOne example: Utah news organizations have reported that two Provo, Utah companies listed as $1 million contributors to Restore Our Future don\u2019t really seem to be companies at all.\n\u201cCompanies called Eli Publishing and F8 LLC contributed $1 million each to Restore Our Future,\u201d Utah television station KSTU reported last August. \u201cThe companies share an address in downtown Provo and the super-PAC received the money from both on the same day.\u201d The address listed for the companies, according to the TV report, was an accounting firm where employees said they had no knowledge of the businesses.\nOther Romney Super PAC donors aren\u2019t so obscure. John Paulson a New York hedge fund manager is in for $1 million. Forbes magazine lists Paulson as the 17th wealthiest guy in the world, worth $15.5 billion, which begs the question: why only a million bucks?\nJ.W. and Richard Marriott, the hotel guys, are into the Romney PAC for a half million each. Until a year ago, Romney served on the Marriott board. The CEO of New Balance athletic shoes is a half million dollar contributor, as is the managing partner at Romney\u2019s old Bain Capital firm. That fellow\u2019s wife shelled out her own $500,000.\nClearly the Romney-aligned Super PAC hasn\u2019t had to look under many rocks to turn up millions. These dollars aren\u2019t falling far from the tree, which is one reason all this Super PAC business has the real potential to be so sinister. The candidates all regularly proclaim that they have no connection to the Super PAC\u2019s who are raising and spending so freely on their behalf. Federal law prohibits coordination between the campaigns and the PAC\u2019s they say, but the line that separates the campaigns from the big corporate money certainly isn\u2019t a very bright line.\nUSA Today reported over the weekend about the remarkable \u201ccoincidence\u201d of the message in Romney\u2019s speeches on the stump matching up with the anti-Gingrich television ads Restore Our Future is putting on the air. Of course, the two organizations don\u2019t need to really coordinate since the PAC\u2019s are run, in every case, by former close aides and associates of the candidates. But the no coordination mandate helps maintain the fiction that all this is happening at arm\u2019s length and that there is no quid pro quo involved for the millionaire and billionaire contributors.\nGingrich\u2019s Super PAC is, of course, mostly funded by an extraordinarily wealthy Las Vegas casino owner Sheldon Adelson and his wife Marion. Adelson says his support for Gingrich is easy to explain. He is a long-time friend of Newts and values the former Speaker\u2019s vocal support for Israel, a cause near and dear to the Adelsons. But, of course, nothing is that simple in politics. Adelson\u2019s international casino empire has vast interests in public policy and since early last year Adelson\u2019s company has been under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is reportedly looking into violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.\nSo, you might ask: what does the fact that all these very rich, very well connected, very politically interested corporate leaders have to do with a new Gilded Age? Isn\u2019t this just the way politics has always worked? Maybe the only thing different is the amount of money involved.\nMaybe the only thing different is the amount of money involved and the fact that thanks to the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling in Citizens United these vast amounts of corporate dollars can flow unregulated into the political process. We have gone back to the future, back to the first Gilded Age at the end of the 19th Century.\nUniversity of Texas historian H. W. Brands wrote his book Reckless Decade: America in the 1890\u2019s in 1995. In an interview with C-SPAN\u2019s Brian Lamb, Brands nailed the essence of why corporate money in politics has such a potentially corrosive effect.\n\u201cAny capitalist economy,\u201d Brands said in the C-SPAN interview, \u201d is based on the notion of economic self-interest. And, you know, if you put it another way, you can \u2014 if you\u2019re not being too complimentary, you can call it greed. And our economy runs as much on those lines as it did back then [the 1890\u2019s] \u2013 maybe not quite as much. There\u2019s a government safety net now to deal with those people who were falling out the bottom of the economy during the 1890s. But, certainly, I mean, the idea of profits, and I\u2019m certainly not going to criticize profit. But, nonetheless, the idea of economic self-interest is definitely as much a motive.\u201d\nThe question to ask of our democracy in this new Gilded Age is how any candidate, no matter how well-intentioned, no matter how honest, can escape the human impact of a well-heeled friend donating a few million to help get him elected?\nAnd granting that the casino owners, the hotel operators, the unions and the guy running the non-business businesses in Utah may truly value the particular approach and policies of a particular candidate, we also can\u2019t deny that each has a self-interest. We all have a self-interest, but not all of us can buy so much free speech or so much access.\nJustice Anthony Kennedy rather unbelievably wrote in his opinion in the Citizens case, \u201c[The Court majority] now conclude that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption.\u201d\nYou wonder if Mr. Justice Kennedy has been following the campaign so far.\nAt a time when growing concerns about income distribution in America collide with a mounting distrust of most of our national institutions, including corporations, the Congress and the Presidency, the Supreme Court has, by opening the flood gates to unlimited corporate money in our elections, given us even more cause to doubt the fairness and sustainability of our democratic system.\nAs H.W. Brands noted in his history of the first reckless decade in the 1890\u2019s, the greed and corruption that seemed to seep into every facet of America life in the first Gilded Age became so serious that only two political alternatives seemed possible \u2013 revolution or reform. Thankfully, the country took the path of reform and Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson ushered in a Progressive Era in response to the Gilded Age.\nOne of T.R.\u2019s Progressive Era reforms was to ban corporate money from political campaigns. That ban lasted for 100 years. That ban ended, and a new Gilded Age began, with a breathtakingly impactful Supreme Court decision two years ago.\nAs one of the beneficiaries of the excesses of the Gilded Age, Tammany political boss George Washington Plunkett, famously said, there is dishonest graft and honest graft. Plunkett went in for the honest variety. As he said, \u201cI might sum up the whole thing by sayin: I seen my opportunities and I took \u2019em.\u201d\nAir Travel, Al Gore, Books, Theodore Roosevelt\nThe Most Famous Man in the World\nWe have become accustom to former presidents writing their memoirs, establishing the presidential library and undertaking a good cause here and there. That\u2019s what ex-presidents do.\nJimmy Carter has led an exemplary post-presidential life and has, with single-minded determination, come close to eradicating a deadly disease in Africa. Bill Clinton\u2019s Foundation has focused on AIDS and third-world development with considerable success. George W. Bush is still settling into the post-White House role and reportedly his recent book has become a best-seller on, of all places, college campuses.\nAs impressive as they have been, none of these recent ex-presidents come anywhere close to matching the life Theodore Roosevelt lived from 1909 to 1919. He packed a near lifetime of activity, scholarship, authorship and politics \u2013 including his own and many other campaigns \u2013 into the ten years after he left the White House.\nThis amazing Roosevelt history is superbly recounted in Edmund Morris\u2019s new biography \u2013 The Colonel. The volume is the third in Morris\u2019s life of T.R. and it will doubtless stand for a long, long time as the authoritative source on the larger-than-life personality who in his time was called \u201cthe most famous man in the world.\u201d\nOne things our recent ex-presidents are loath to do is criticize their successors. Clinton and Bush 43 have been particularly careful \u2013 we can excuse Clinton\u2019s role in stumping for his wife \u2013 not to mix their former status with current politics. Teddy had no such reservations. He literally sought every opportunity to bash his own hand-picked successor, William Howard Taft, and the man who wrenched the progressive label from him Woodrow Wilson.\nYet even without his deep and prolonged forays into partisan politics post-White House, Roosevelt would have been a world celebrity on the order of, say, Bono or Michael Jackson. The guy was a rock star before we had rock stars. He seemed to know everyone and write about everything.\nThe press of the day covered his African safari, his European tour, complete with marching in the funeral procession of England\u2019s Edward VII, his near-death expedition into the Amazon jungle and, of course, his 1912 run for the presidency that included Roosevelt being shot in Milwaukee. Were this life a novel, it simply would not be believable.\nWe have certainly had supremely accomplished presidents since Theodore Roosevelt. Wilson earned a PhD, served as a university president and was a fine writer before the presidency. Herbert Hoover was a world-class engineer who also wrote well. John Kennedy won, with a little help from Ted Sorensen, the Pulitzer Prize. None could touch the breadth and depth of Roosevelt\u2019s writing \u2013 books, hundreds of magazine pieces, essays, speeches and letters, thousand and thousands of letters.\nThis is a great book about a great man and, a little prediction, Morris will win another Pulitzer for producing what, as the New York Times said, \u201cdeserves to stand as the definitive study of its restless, mutable, ever-boyish, erudite and tirelessly energetic subject.\u201d\nIn the end, as with much great literature, T.R. story is tragedy. Roosevelt\u2019s enless agitating for American involvement in World War I served, in Morris\u2019s telling, to glorify the tragic, wasteful, useless war that came to define the 20th Century. The senseless slaughter \u2013 only later did Roosevelt come to realize that war is not glory \u2013 also cost the life of the youngest Roosevelt, Quentin, who died flying over German lines in 1918.\nQuentin\u2019s father, worn out and dispirited, died the next year. Theodore Roosevelt was only 60; the youngest man to ever serve as president and still and forever one of the greatest.\nAl Gore, Theodore Roosevelt\nApparently in the supercharged environment of today\u2019s American politics the worst thing that can be said of someone is that they are\u2026a socialist!\nComes now the wingnut set in the person of Glenn Beck leveling that scurrilous charge at, of all people, the 26th president \u2013 Theodore Roosevelt. Glenn must be off his meds, or he\u2019s been reading different history than me.\nBeck, one of the new generation of agitators from the far right (they also exist on the far left) who live to create heat (never light), spoke recently to a very conservative audience in Washington, D.C. and managed to lay a good percentage of the problems of the 20th Century at the door of \u201cprogressives\u201d like Roosevelt. What a profound misreading of American history, but then again what do you expect from cable TV bloviators who willy-nilly re-write history to fit the politics of the moment.\nNever missing a beat, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs let it be known that his boss, not unfamiliar with being tarred with the \u201cs\u201d word, is reading Edmund Morris\u2019 wonderful biography, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. I recommend it if you want the real story about Teddy.\nMy old buddy Joel Connelly, writing in the Seattle PI, was one of many to address the \u201ckookiness\u201d of history as misrepresented by Glenn Beck, the darling of the Tea Party crowd. Jonathan Alter in Newsweek had a similar take. If Beck\u2019s take on T.R. weren\u2019t so laughable it would be, well, laughable. That some people actually listen to this guy is, however, frightening.\nTruth be told, the \u201cprogressive\u201d movement of the early 20th Century was a pragmatic and very American response to the very real possibility that real socialists would gain a substantial following in American politics. When Teddy Roosevelt bolted the Republican Party in 1912 to run on the Progressive ticket \u2013 the Bull Moose ticket \u2013 he faced not only the conservative incumbent GOP President William Howard Taft, but progressive Democrat Woodrow Wilson and a real socialist, Eugene V. Debs. In that four-way contest, one of the most electrifying elections in American history, Debs garnered nearly a million votes running under the Socialist Party banner. In other words, Debs had a following and Roosevelt and Wilson, the progressives of the day, were dealing with the reality of that following. Their vision of America prevailed.\nWhat did T.R.\u2019s \u201cprogressives\u201d stand for? Well, direct election of United States Senators, an income tax, regulation of monopoly, women\u2019s suffrage and pure food and drug laws, among other things. Later progressives, including Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, advocated additional reforms, including what became Social Security and regulation of utilities. Franklin Roosevelt brought such reform to reality in the 1930\u2019s, continuing the progressive trend in American politics. This wasn\u2019t socialism, it was progress.\nIt is simply a perversion of our history for anyone to suggest that the whole series of progressive reforms that began with the first Roosevelt have anything to do with socialism. It would be more accurate to say that the progressive agenda of the early 1900\u2019s saved the country for capitalism and headed off socialism. FDR\u2019s New Deal did much the same 20 years later during the darkest days of the Great Depression. Neither Roosevelt harmed capitalism, rather their response to the issues of their times saved capitalism.\nProgressive reforms helped usher in the strong, diverse, resilient capitalist democracy that has long made the United States the envy of the rest of the world. It is a free country and Glenn Beck can extend and revise his fiction all he wants, but the facts get in the way.\nTeddy Roosevelt, like all of the greatest of the great presidents, was a flawed leader. He was a romantic about war. He had an ego the size of North Dakota where he retreated after his wife and mother died a few hours apart on the same day. He had a tendency, like most presidents, to push the bounds of executive power in dangerous directions. But, he was also brilliant, a genuine scholar, a fine writer, an historian, a soldier, naturalist and a visionary. It is not an accident that he is with Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln on Mt. Rushmore. He deserves to be there. Edmund Morris, Ronald Reagan\u2019s official biographer, is my authority.\nPerhaps the most famous speech Teddy ever delivered \u2013 the man in the arena speech \u2013 sums up this remarkable man; a great president, and his importance to his times and ours. Think of a clown like Glenn Beck when you read this.\nRoosevelt made that speech in 1910. In Paris. In France. At the Sorbonne! Sounds like something a socialist would have done. I\u2019ll bet Glenn Beck is outraged.",

        "raw_content": "In Which the Waiting is the Hardest Part...\nMy mom marched me down the hall to the classroom where Mr. F held court. And with each step--especially when we passed the spot in the hall where only a few hours earlier I'd been made to stand, and cry, and surrender my Story Book--I began to rethink accompanying my mom to talk to Mr. F. I knew from experience that my mother could be hell on wheels and would not tolerate anyone having at her child, especially for a wrong he had not committed. In fact, judging from her muttering as we walked, I think it's safe to say she was in a state of disbelief over the man's behavior.\nShe wasn't the only one who was incredulous. Up until that point, I naively understood that there was only one kind of teacher--the beneficent, wise adult who loved all children equally and who only lost their tempers in the face of the most outrageous childish behavior--and even then only to children who really deserved it. It had never occurred to me for one minute that there might be a teacher who would take an unreasoning dislike to a kid--to me in particular--and who would so utterly lose his cool in the presence of that child, and of other children, never mind another teacher. It was an awful thing to realize, I can tell you. It had a way of making the floor beneath my feet feel unsteady somehow. I felt that I had uncovered some kind of secret I was not really meant to know and the knowing of it made me feel terrible and small and scared. I can still recall the utter misery of that feeling on that day.\nAlthough, I must say, it was wonderful having my mom with me. As a child, I was much closer to my mom than to anyone else in my family and having her by my side--slightly leading the way, in fact--made me feel hopeful, despite my intense trepidation. True, she never coddled me or was mushy or drippily affectionate to me--certainly not in the way she would be to my offspring some two decades hence. But she never failed to tell me and my brother that she loved of us, and she had always made it clear that we could count on her at any time for anything. She was the very definition of \"unconditional,\" and I just knew that, long before I was even aware of the word's existence. That knowledge made up for rather a lot in my life.\nMy father, for example, sobering up after some awful night's tirade against me or my mom or my brother, could be disgustingly lick-spittle in his fawning affections and cozening attentions, in a way that I sometimes, to be completely honest, wouldn't have minded my mother displaying. But I had come to decide that these emotional states were apparently an either-or proposition as far as parents were concerned, and it would be years before I had my mind changed about that. For the moment, though, I was all too glad to take the quiet confidence and fortitude that my mom excelled at displaying, even if it came with a rather less florid demonstration of her love.\nHeavens, wasn't that a digression? And not at all what I know you came here for. So let's jump right to the action in Mr. F's classroom.\nThe man himself was sitting at his desk at the head of the classroom, diligently--one might even say, studiously--ignoring the door and focusing on some papers on his desk. Next to him, within reach of his right hand, was my Story Book, closed and sitting flat on the desk, although I noticed with a certain proprietary annoyance that a few pages were sticking out at odd angles, as though they had been pulled from the book and placed back haphazardly.\nMy mom's sensible shoes made a hard clacking on the linoleum floor as she strode smartly up to the desk, and this noise prompted Mr. F to look up. He glared, hard, at me first, then looked my mother in the face, his eyes brightening.\n\"Well, good afternoon, Mrs. M,\" he began, a broad, beaming smile on his face, and as he said this, all I could think was that Mr. F was some kind of comic book super-villain, the kind who could seem superficially sane and lucid and even friendly, but the moment you turned your back, he'd become the Joker and start spraying you with acid. I wondered if my mom would be fooled by this show of false bonhomie, possibly even think I'd made this all up (I had, in my brief panic and confusion, forgotten that I had my teacher as a witness to Mr. F's bat-shit craziness).\nMy mom smoothly cut across him, her Boston accent sharp in that tiny Midwestern classroom. \"Oh, are we feigning kindness and civility for this exchange?\" she asked. \"Or would you rather resort to raging and screaming and shouting, which you evidently prefer when dealing with students? Because I'm perfectly happy to address you either way.\"\nMr. F's smile faltered only slightly. \"Oh, now Mrs. M, aren't we going to be friends? I just need to talk to you a little bit about MM's attitude, and then--\"\nWell, to her credit, my mom heard him out, and I'd relate it all for you here, but of course you heard most of it in my last post, and from the big man's mouth. I did note that he'd changed tack a little. Instead of going with his original accusations--that I was making up stories about my classmates and then passing the stories around school--he instead told my mother that he'd noticed that I was getting too big for my britches (I swear that was the phrase he used) and that he felt I was doing myself no favors to draw attention to myself in my obvious grandstanding way.\n\"I've seen the way MM uses his little book here to get a lot of attention and I think that sort of thing can go too far,\" he concluded, patting the book.\nIf his speech had flummoxed my mother (I can tell you it had me gaping a little), she didn't reveal it. She simply snapped her hand out. \"That book was a gift from me to my son and I'll thank you to give it back,\" she said.\nMr. F hesitated for a moment, looking darkly at me, then put his hand on the book.\n\"Oh, but first--\" my mom said, causing Mr. F's hand to linger a moment on that yellow plaid cover. \"I'd like you to point out to me the pages where my son engaged in his 'malicious mischief-making,' as you called it this morning. I'd like you to point out to me the parts where he wrote anything remotely negative or untrue about any child in this school.\"\nMr. F froze, which I noticed only because I froze too. It was only then that I made a mental scan of every page, every story in my Story Book. In the stories I wrote, I had included nearly all of my classmates at one point or another. I had written in some goofy things about myself and my best friend Shawn, too. I might have even gone so far as to include my Big Brother in a story or two and to make mention of the fact that he was a bit of a tubbo (which, you must understand, wasn't malice. That was factual reporting.) Had I said anything that Mr. F, crazy as he was, would have construed as malicious towards my classmates? On the one hand, I knew I hadn't--I had always taken special care to make the villains of the stories entirely fictitious. But Mr. F had completely unseated me, made me doubt myself.\nMoreover, I thought later, my mom was taking a big chance. It dawned on me only then that she had never once asked me if I had ever written anything bad about my classmates. Like I said, the word \"unconditional\" was not in my vocabulary then. But I already had a living definition.\n(Also, I found out years later, my mom was in the habit of regularly reading through my assorted story books and folders at night when I was asleep, which must have taken a serious bite out of her evenings. By the time I started high school, I had written enough of these stories to paper the house.)\n\"I'm waiting,\" my mom said now to Mr. F. And I noted when she did that she was using the Mom Voice. Mr. F noticed this and he didn't like it. He squirmed for a long moment, torn between maintaining his smiling fa\u00e7ade and turn into the man I was already coming to think of as Crazy F. Finally, he grabbed the book and handed it back to my mom. \"Well, I haven't really had time to go through--\" he started. Which, by the way, couldn't have been true. He must have read enough to realize he'd been severely misinformed about the nature of my writing, and just couldn't admit it. Which left him only one other option: to feign disinterest and claim he hadn't really had a chance to read my little juvenile pootlings. Which was actually an even bigger mistake.\nMy mom knew it. And she pounced.\n\"So, let me get this straight: Based on the accusations of one of your students, you accused my son of writing lies about his classmates. You accused him of this in a loud and terrible voice, to the extent that I'm sure most everyone in the school must have heard you. And now, you ADMIT you haven't even bothered to prove your accusation?\" My mom was seething now--there was no steam coming out of her ears or anything, but the temperature of the room had risen by about 20 degrees.\nI waited for my mom to say it, to point out what was obvious even to me: that Mr. F had just done the very thing he'd falsely accused me of doing, the great big sausage-fingered hypocrite.\nBut she had too much class to point out the obvious. Instead, she simply said, \"Mr. F, do you have any idea the ridiculous position in which you have just placed yourself?\"\nMr. F was standing up now. Somehow he didn't seem so tall. \"Mrs. M,\" he began, \"I don't think there's any need to get so riled up about this--\"\n\"I'm waiting,\" my mom said, once more. It seemed like a non sequitur, and it shut Mr. F right up. He looked at my mom quizzically.\n\"Waiting?\" he said.\nMom threw her head to the left, to where I'd been standing like a statue for the past minute or two. \"For your apology to MM.\"\nAnd then began The Waiting in earnest\nThe thing about my mom was, she could Wait like nobody's business. Her Waiting was more like Weighting, like a damn dwarf star had just landed on your back. Her Waiting pressed you into the ground, made your eyeballs squeeze out of your head until you couldn't stand it anymore and you gave in and did or said whatever she wanted. If Waiting had been an Olympic event, my mom would have been Mark Spitz.\nWe must have stood there, the three of us, long enough for someone to sculpt a statue, for someone to paint a commemorative plate (The Waiting). My mom Waited and Waited and Waited.\nThing was, Mr. F, who was, after all, crazy, seemed strangely resistant to the Waiting.\nI could sense that he must be feeling the crushing pressure--God knows I was ready to spring up and apologize to me. Whole minutes passed. Some students came in and collected books from their desks and left (not without first offering some quizzical looks). The janitor came in and mopped the floor in the back. Darkness began to fall.\nAt least, it did in my mind. With growing dismay, it was dawning on me that I was about to see my mother lose. That she was going to blink first, break the silence, let Mr. F get away with not apologizing for the shit he'd put her son to.\nMr. F continued to stare her down, mouth unmoving.\nFinally, after an eternity, my mom shifted and turned. I could swear I saw a smirk on Mr. F's face as my mother turned to face me.\nI couldn't look at her. I couldn't believe she'd lost.\nAnd then, she winked at me...\nIn Which My Writing Days Are Over (circa 1978)...\nHaving a tough Monday, for some reason.\nI'm coming up fast on my third month of unemployment, having exhausted the freelance work I drummed up, and come to the end of the job opportunities I sought in academia. Well, to be fair, I haven't heard back from the last place I interviewed with, but they were supposed to call me by Friday and it occurs to me that the only reason they didn't call me by Friday was because they offered the job to someone else and they're waiting to hear back from that person before they cut me loose, so it comes to the same thing as far as I'm concerned.\nSo, having a lousy day. I wouldn't say I've struck rock-bottom, but if I were to let go right now, I wouldn't have very far to fall, you know?\nTo top it off, today is my mother's birthday, which is just something I'm throwing in there because I can. Honestly, there's no reason it should be weighing on me, except for the fact that she should be alive to celebrate it. Or not celebrate it, as was more often the case. My parents were never big on celebrating their birthdays. But I still would have called her. I could stand to have a chat with her about now, come to think of it. Not because she would be comforting to me in that way that moms can be to their sons. Just the opposite. My mom knew, all too well, that feeling sorry for oneself was a bad habit to get into, worse than cigarettes or heroin or not returning your movies to the video store on time, and I can't think of one instance, ever, where she poor-babied me.\nI hope that doesn't sound bitter, because I don't mean it as such. The truth is, some of the defining moments in my life occurred when I was brought low and my mom refused to let me feel bad about it.\nIn particular, I'm reminded of a grammar school teacher who, for a time seemed to take a personal interest in crushing me.\nThis would have started some time in the fifth grade, which would have made me nine going on 10. My family had only six months earlier moved from northern New England to the Middle West. I was therefore the new kid, and while I was braced to be treated with a certain amount of animosity, in fact my classmates welcomed me with exemplary kindness and equanimity.\nIt was Mr. F who made my misery his personal business.\nMr. F was not even my teacher--he taught the next grade up. But because our classes were so small--this was a very tiny town in the middle of Kansas--we 5th and 6th graders had many classes together, as well as recess and lunch. This gave Mr. F a chance to observe me and what he came to see as my \"attitude problem\" without going to the trouble of having me as a student and actually getting to know me. Then it was just a matter of waiting for me to step Out of Line. Or close enough to what passed for Out of Line in his fevered imaginings.\nBut the first I really knew of any of this was a wintry spring morning in late March. The morning Mr. F completely blindsided me.\nIn those days, my brother and I walked to school. It wasn't far, but on that cold morning, carrying my bookbag all the way over the bridge and up the slightly steep hill to school, I was a little winded. And as soon as I stepped into the corridor of our school, my glasses immediately fogged over from the heat. So I really was blind when I felt a strong hand grab me through the shoulder of my big old padded parka and shove me roughly up against the wall.\nI peered over the top of my glasses to see a furious blur glaring back at me.\n\"Don't you give me one of your smart-aleck looks!\" Mr. F boomed.\nFor some reason, I wasn't allowed to set down my bookbag, so I was forced to swipe my glasses off my face with one hand and rub them awkwardly on my sleeve. When I put them back on, I got a good, if slightly smeary, streaky look at Mr. F glowering down at me.\nHe was a big man. I recall that he stood taller than even our tallest basketball players, and those included some eighth graders who'd been held back two or three times, so I'm thinking Mr. F stood over six feet. He was a bulky fellow, with a great bulbous nose, and fleshy, jowly face. His grey hair was cut very short and square in flattop fashion. He looked like nothing so much as a drill sergeant gone slightly to seed. But with his towering presence and great booming voice, he made quite an impression when he was right up in your face like that, let me tell you.\nDespite my tendency to be a bit of a smart-ass, I had never really been in terrible trouble as a kid. I was not a discipline case. I was generally respectful to teachers and could count on the fingers of one hand the times I'd got in trouble, and usually those amounted to a short rebuke shouted across a classroom or hallway for an unthinking moment of childlike carelessness or exuberance. Up to that point in my brief life, I'd never done anything to warrant a teacher actually laying hands on me and throwing me up against a wall and bellowing at me like a lunatic. I was scared shitless.\n\"What--? What--?\" I tried.\n\"You don't say a word! Not. One. Word! To me!\" he yelled, spittle flecking my glasses as he stabbed a great sausage-like finger in my face. \"You get enough chance to run your smart-aleck mouth as it is!\"\nI shut right up and just looked up at him. Peripherally, I was aware that we were beginning to attract a bit of a crowd. It was first thing in the morning, after all, and lots of kids were coming through the door I'd just entered and we were sort of blocking the hall. A few boys--sixth graders who were actually students of Mr. F's--gave me little smirks behind their teacher's back, then passed on into their classroom. My own big brother, who had been only a few steps behind me, had entered, walked behind Mr. F, gave me a look of concerned curiosity that seemed to say What the hell did you manage to do in the five seconds you've been in school? then walked on. BB was my great protector for most of my elementary years, but it was understood that helping me with a teacher--especially a possibly unhinged one--was well beyond his powers.\nA few of my own classmates had passed as well and one of them must have said something to my own teacher, because after a few awful moments of Mr. F staring at me, saying nothing (yet allowing me to say nothing), Mrs. B, my teacher, appeared meekly at Mr. F's side.\n\"Is there a problem?\" she asked. \"Did MM do something?\"\nMr. F smiled an awful leering smile as he looked down at me. \"Well, you tell us, MM. You just tell us, mister! You want to tell your teacher what you did?\"\nSeldom have I felt more helpless. Here I was, just a nine-year-old squirt with this towering great (and, I was beginning to feel certain, crazy) authority figure hunched over me, having only moments earlier shouted me into silence. Now he was asking--daring--me to speak.\n\"I don't--what??\" I spluttered.\nMr. F narrowed his eyes. It was a terrible, dangerous expression, and I felt fear as I have never felt in my life. I had dealt with grown-ups with bad tempers--my own father, then pretty well embarked upon his career as a drunk, could have his mean, mean moments--but this was the devil I didn't know. And that uncertainty preyed on me.\n\"Where's your book?\" Mr. F demanded, his hand suddenly held out, sausage fingers hinging in a gimme-gimme gesture.\nI stood there, pinned to the corridor wall, only too aware of the growing weight of my bag, which was full of books of every kind.\n\"Book?\" I repeated.\n\"Don't play dumb with me!\" he bellowed, stabbing me in the breastbone with a sausage finger. \"Your little yellow book that you write all your malicious thoughts in! Your writing days are over!\"\nI'm sure I gaped when he said this. Mr. F could only be referring to the book I simply knew in my mind as The Story Book. It was a hard-bound book with an unfortunate yellow-plaid design on the cover. But I didn't care about that. What I liked about the book--which had been a gift from my parents--was that it was full of blank pages. The previous year, my last teacher in New Hampshire had remarked to my Mom during a parent-teacher conference that I had a gift for storytelling. This didn't come as much of a surprise, I shouldn't think--both of my parents had brought me and my brother up on stories and it was natural that we should start telling a few of our own. But my teacher's novel suggestion had been that my parents encourage me to write mine down. So they got me the book and that's what I had done. Initially, I had tried to keep a travel diary of our trip from New Hampshire to Kansas, but that got boring fast (drive to Kansas yourself and you might understand why). So I started writing fiction. Mostly I wrote adventure stories--just one or two pages long--starring myself and my old friends from New Hampshire, who I missed.\nBut just lately, I had discovered that my new classmates were great fans of the Encyclopedia Brown stories and a series of books in our library which we referred to as \"Minute Mysteries\" (although this wasn't quite their correct title). In any case, sensing an audience for solve-it-yourself stories--which I quite liked too--I tried my hand at writing a few during lunch, over recess, and sometimes during class when Mrs. B would give us a chance to do some creative writing. Those first stories were, I'm sure, terribly derivative of the Encyclopedia Brown stories--probably even plagiarized. But what made them special was that I included myself and other kids from our class in the stories. That little hint of verisimilitude made them very popular and in short order, my distinctive little yellow-plaid book regularly made the rounds among the fifth graders. Only a few days earlier, on a rainy day in which we'd been forced to have recess indoors, I had enjoyed the quiet pride that came from watching my classmates jostling for rights to read my stories next as several of them sat on the bleachers in the school gymnasium. To be fair, the older kids had hogged all the basketballs in the gym, so there was a distinct shortage of distractions, but still it had been a fine moment for a young writer, to see his reading public clamoring to sneak a peek at his latest work. My only regret was that I hadn't had the forethought to charge my friends money for reading privileges.\nBut unbeknownst to me, my work had drawn an unintended audience, which in turn brought in the critics, a moment that any writer should expect, I suppose, but which had caught me completely off guard. In the event, one of the sixth-graders had asked my classmates what they were reading and he got a garbled answer, or one that was beyond his ability to fully grasp. Instead of understanding that a young new talent in the school was writing entertaining mystery tales that included his classmates as characters, this fellow gleaned only that the new kid was making up stuff about other kids in the school. And it must be bad or embarrassing because why else would people be lining up to read it during recess? So this kid passed his intelligence along to his teacher, and that was it. I was officially Over the Line.\nWhen Mr. F relayed the \"fact\" of my writings to my teacher, it's hard to tell who gaped more--Mrs. B or me. To her credit, Mrs. B--who had read one or two of my stories and liked them (or to be more precise, liked that one of her students was taking an interest in doing something creative) haltingly tried to explain the true nature of my writing to Mr. F, he wouldn't hear it. He demanded the book there and then, assuming I suppose, that he would be able to prove in a trice that I was the malicious nine-year-old libeler he took me to be.\nI have to admit, as scared as I was--and I was pretty goddamn scared by this point--some little voice in the back of my head rose up in indignation. Bad enough that I had been falsely accused of writing the grammar school equivalent of tabloid journalism, but I was now being asked to give up a personal possession--a gift from my parents--unfairly.\nI hesitated for a long moment, long enough for Mr. F to turn bright red in fury and begin screaming his head off, his spitting lips only an inch from my sweating forehead.\n\"How DARE you defy me, you little busy-body! You malicious mischief-maker! You had better GIVE me that book. RIGHT. NOW. RIGHT NOW DO YOU HEAR ME?\" I swear, he was practically gibbering.\nIt's actually a good thing Mrs. B was there, not just because I think it was only her presence that kept Mr. F from tearing my limbs from their sockets, but also because she provided a sober, nodding witness later after school when, still shaking and sobbing like a trauma patient, I related the whole awful story to my mother.\nWho, when I was finished, instead of drawing me to her breast and stroking my hair and letting me get snot all over her sweater, simply put a steadying hand on my shoulder and said, \"All right, pull yourself together.\"\nSniffling, I looked up into her eyes, and almost instantly, I stopped crying. Not because I saw an impatience and hardness in my mother's gaze that told me my histrionics were no longer going to be tolerated.\nNo, instead, I saw actual raging fire in her eyes, and understood that very shortly Mr. F was going to find himself in the likely unprecedented position of wishing he'd never been born.\nAnd I thought that was something I rather wanted to see...\nIn Which We Sweat It Out...\nWell, that's the problem with realizing you're not going to be offered a job you're interviewing for while you're still in the middle of interviewing for it. The problem? Rampant, virulent apathy sets in. I'm enough of a pro that I think I could have put on a brave face and given it my all, but I was already given to understand--in some strange and overwhelming psychic way--that the search committee had decided for themselves that I was not job-offering material. Had perhaps NEVER been job-offering material. Had perhaps only been a token Other Candidate they felt compelled to bring in, just so they could say they had cast their net wide.\nHow else to explain the almost casually indifferent way they were treating me, making me eat dinner in the airport food court (and paying for it out of my own pocket, did I mention that?), trying to put me up in a hotel where the electricity had gone out, forgetting to let me (or anyone else) in on that fact, or on the fact that they had put me up in another hotel? Or could it just be that the committee was the most colossal assemblage of fuck-ups this side of my own extended family? In which case, actually, you'd have thought I was a shoo-in.\nBut no, whatever the reason, it was clear they didn't want me, and so the apathy set in pretty badly by Wednesday night, when I was back at my hotel. Indeed, I think it's fair to say the apathy has not gone completely away even at this late date. Honestly, I can\u2019t think of any other reason why it's taken me so long to muster the will to write this final installment.\nMy body evidently felt the same way, too. Felt that things were so godawful and that tomorrow--the day of my so-called research presentation (which the search committee had insisted I make, despite my telling them I had no research agenda, having been working in the field for the past two decades)--was going to be even worse. Thus it was, I think, that my body decided to make things just a little more interesting.\nWhich is why I awoke at about 5:30 the next morning with severe chills and what turned out to be a 103-degree fever.\nIt was the flu, of course, and it was so bad that when I turned on the news that morning, the first thing I saw was an item from the local broadcast station telling me that all area elementary schools had actually canceled classes because too many kids were coming down with this flu. And it was hitting people with the speed of a bullet train. One moment they were fine, the next they were sprawled sideways across a bench or large piece of furniture, sweating profusely into the fabric and complaining of the bed-spins.\nI can't honestly tell you if I do well with fevers or not, because in the event it's all pretty much a blur. On the one hand, I'm generally aware of how sick I am and, if the circumstances demand it, I can often pull my shit together for brief intervals--usually no more than a few hours--before collapsing in a moist, gibbering heap. I would consider that an argument in favor of \"good.\" On the other hand, if I get a fever that goes anywhere above 102, I start hallucinating, and that can be bad. Not just bad, but potentially embarrassing. The last time I had a fever like this, I was at Disneyworld with my family and I was holding conversations with multi-colored giraffes. Given the venue at the time, I pretty much fit right in. But what was I going to do if I started seeing giraffes in the middle of this research presentation, which I was going to be delivering in about three hours? The entire faculty would be there. Granted, one of my last lucid thoughts the night before had been the realization that, honest and for true, I didn't have a prayer of getting a job offer, and after the way I'd been treated, I wasn't even sure I wanted an offer. Some sixth sense just seemed to tell me that I wasn't going to be able to play nice with these people if I had to deal with them on a professional basis every day.\nAnd yet, I seemed to understand that I was already on a path here and I owed it to myself, if to no one else, to see it through.\nSo I threw on some clothes and staggered off across a busy road to a nearby convenience store, where I paid an extortionate amount for a small bottle of Tylenol--at the price per pill they charged me, I think I could have bought some crystal meth for cheaper. I swallowed half the bottle in one great gulp, figuring my liver would just have to deal with it, then staggered back to the hotel, stopping only once--in the middle of the busy street, of course--to notice that all the cars and all the people in them were beginning to glow. I often see haloes when I have a high fever. Well, I thought, at least that should make my interview more interesting.\nBy the time my ride came for me, I was dressed and packed and checked out, although it must be said I was checked out in more ways than one.\n\"Are you all right?\" my ride asked. She was another member of the search committee, actually a very nice woman who taught graphics at the school and was a little younger than I. I had spent a lot of time with her yesterday and this morning could only hope my proximity to her the day before hadn't dosed her with the bug as well. But she looked okay to me now. In fact, she had a lovely purple aura around her.\n\"Pretty good,\" I finally answered her, in a cracking voice (high fevers for some reason always take my voice back to around puberty, and suddenly I'm Peter Brady, singing \"Time to Change.\")\nWell, evidently I didn't look fine. In fact, it turned out that, despite (or perhaps because of) having ingested about five grams of Tylenol, I was sweating profusely and no doubt my eyes were dilated so wildly that my upper face must have been all eyebrows and pupils.\n\"Oh my, you've got this flu. It's really going around,\" she said, as she more or less poured me into her car. \"My kids have it and this morning my husband woke up with it.\"\nOh, well, gee, I wonder how I got it then? I thought to myself--at least I hope I thought to myself. Then there was a jump cut in my memory.\nWhen I came to next, I was walking down a hallway in the communications building--no idea where my luggage had gone, or the 20-pound messenger bag I'd been toting on my shoulder for the past 36 hours. I didn't care about the suitcase, but I did need that bag, as it contained my laptop and a folder full of copies of my resume and several positive student evaluations from classes I had taught as an adjunct. I had hoped to hand these out at my research presentation as a way of making my point that, while I may not have vast research experience and have only been pottering around the last 20 years writing books and magazine articles and things, I had at least made an effort to get some academic experience under my belt.\nAnd then I rounded the corner and found myself in a conference room full of scowling academicians with assorted auras, most of them wavy and pinkish, reminding me of nothing so much as a baby with conjunctivitis. I sat down, noting then that my messenger bag had somehow preceded me into the room, then remembered that I had already been in here, but had postponed the beginning of my presentation to lurch off to the bathroom to mop my brow. And possibly to throw up.\nWell, all I can say is, I don't recommend giving a presentation to a room full of college professors when you have a raging fever and no control over what is coming out of your mouth. Unless, of course, you're pretty certain you're not going to get the job, at least. I honestly don't recall what I said--I'm pretty sure at one point I referred to my 20 years in the industry as \"real\" work, compared to academic publishing, which I suppose is not the most diplomatic thing to say.\nAh, but what the hell? If I was sure of anything at this point--aside from the certainty that I was really sick--it was that I had absolutely no hope of changing anyone's mind about offering me this job. So perhaps it's just as well that I have no real recollection of what I said.\nAnd before I knew it, I was out of there. My next clear memory is of running through the Cincinnati airport, wondering if I was even supposed to be there. I only knew I was in Cincinnati because I remembered it as being the airport where you can spend time riding every moving conveyance--an escalator, a tram, and even a bus--except, it seemed, an airplane. And then, after another blank interval, I found myself fumbling with a key, trying to open the door to my car in the airport parking garage, until it dawned on me that I was trying to get into someone else's car.\nThen I drove home in a quite unexpected state of perfect lucidity, which lasted long enough for me to get through the door, tip the contents of my bag into the laundry room, take a long, hot shower, have a lavish vomiting spell in my own bathroom (and to wonder idly when exactly it was I'd managed to have a meal of red beans and rice). Then I fell into bed and slept for the next 18 hours.\nWhen I awoke late the next day, I felt a bit ragged around the edges, a bit shaky still, but my fever had broken, never to return. Neither did my memory of my last day interviewing for the job, alas. Just the same, it came as no surprise later that afternoon to get an e-mail (and I just knew that, after the hospitality I'd experienced, these were not the kind of folks who would actually call me up and tell me anything themselves) announcing that the school was going to extend their search for their new professor. Wow. So not even could they not bring themselves to call and speak to me, they couldn't even properly reject me, opting instead to leave me dangling. Except, of course, that I refused to dangle. I could read rejection between the lines. I had been told more than once that they had planned to make a decision--and an offer--within 24 hours. So my performance--and I have to admit that here I DID wonder what I might have said during the final stage of my interview--had served only to tell them that they needed to keep looking.\nWhich was just as well, Her Lovely Self and I decided, after I recovered a little bit more over the weekend and related to her everything I could remember about my two-day interview. To her everlasting credit, my wife was disgusted on my behalf, and wondered aloud whether I should continue to subject myself to academic interviews, if this was how I was going to be treated. I was so touched by her show of solidarity that I actually agreed with her.\nUntil another college called me almost exactly a week later and asked if I could come and talk to them about their open faculty position.\nWhich, incidentally, is where I've been between writing parts two and three of this post. I apologize for the delay and wish I could tell you anything about the latest interview. I can tell you that I was treated infinitely better than the first school, but I seem to have become a little superstitious about these things, and I don't want to fill you in on any details until I get word--yea or nay--from these folks.\nIn the mean time, I'm just going to try to work on some personal projects. I have a book proposal that I am patently NOT making any progress on, for one thing, and the \u00c9clair has decided that potty training is something she's interested in, and God knows if I'm qualified for anything these days, it's dealing with pantloads of shit. In fact, she just appeared by my side, and announced her desire to visit the bathroom, although judging from the conspicuous load in her little overalls, I think it's safe to say that her timing is a mite off.\nBut at least she's giving it the old college try.\nHave a lovely weekend, all.\nIn Which The Lights Are Out, And Nobody's Home...\nWell, look on the bright side: I didn't break my wrists.\nOr even bloody my nose.\nBut that does very little to assuage the fact that doing a face-plant on hard industrial linoleum hurts. In fact, it's been my experience that taking a fall face-first in the dark actually increases your pain, much the same way that wind chill increases the intensity of cold weather. Because you can't see what you're about to hit, of course. It could be anything. You could be at the top of a steep stairwell about to do an impromptu gymnastics routine down into the boiler room. Or there could be a booby trap laid there before you--something with spikes perhaps. Or there could be a wad of gum stuck right on the floor in front of you. Or a splash of vomit. Or a booger. I think you take my point.\nLuckily, and as far as I know, I made no contact with anything other than the floor. And I once the flashes of light in my head subsided, I tried to get up.\nBut...you remember that soft, unyielding thing I tripped over? Well, it was still there. Right behind me. Know how I knew this? Because it appeared to have grabbed me. It was muckled onto my ankle like a randy, leg-humping dog.\nI really wanted to shriek. But some part of me was reminded that I was here on job interview and it was entirely possible--although I hoped unlikely--that this was part of some elaborate test for the job. If that was the case, I thought shrieking would be bad form. So I settled for some quiet whimpering as I shook my leg. And shook and shook. Whatever it was, there on the floor in the dark behind me, it sure had me good.\nFinally, I twisted around and, summoning every ounce of courage I could muster, I reached a shaking hand down to my ankle and felt my pant-leg caught in the grip of something unexpected.\nIt was a zipper.\nIt was my suitcase, of course. The one I had set down and opened in my fruitless search for a flashlight. Somehow, I had managed to stick my foot straight into the front compartment, the one I had just unzipped, and got my pant-leg stuck in the teeth of the zipper. Gingerly at first, and then with exponentially increasing vigor, I tried to yank my pant-leg free, but it was stuck.\nOh God, please don't let this go where I think it's going to go, I thought to myself, thinking that of course this predicament was going to quickly degenerate into a situation involving me taking off my pants and trying to fish a new pair out of the suitcase, only to have the lights come back on then and find myself surrounded by students and, just to complete the whole sublime tableau, a few members of the search committee.\nBut luckily, it never got to that point. Because as I was working to free my pant-leg from the suitcase zipper, I heard a clomping sound behind me and turned just in time to catch a knee in my face.\nI heard a startled \"Wooooulllph!\" and then a foot came smashing down on my hand and someone tripped over me. And my suitcase. And they didn't land any too nimbly either. All at once I felt a great, sweaty mass fall upon my upper torso and head, driving me back so that this time I hit the back of my head on the hard floor. The weight was terrific. I literally could not breathe, all the air coming out of me in a huffing, spit-flecked sound that echoed dully in the darkness. For a second, I feared my eyes would squirt free of their sockets, brains come dribbling out of my ears, that's how crushing the weight was. Then it was gone.\nI sat up again--rather more slowly than last time--and by some miracle, my hand came to rest on my cell phone. I picked it up and flipped it open and let its feeble bluish screen light reveal the face of a startled security guard, who had evidently been upstairs, making his rounds.\n\"What--? What are--?\" he began, then he found his own flashlight and shined it brightly in my face.\nIn a slightly breathless tone of voice, I told the guard that I was supposed to be staying in this hotel--using the term very loosely now--but when we got here, the lights were out.\n\"We?\" he asked, looking around, and then at my suitcase.\nI explained that the faculty member who'd picked me up had left--in fact, I was semi-certain he was gone altogether. The guard stood up, brushed himself off and then grabbed his walkie-talkie from his belt and began barking into it, all the while keeping his flashlight trained on me. There were a series of garbled, static-riddled grunts and woofs in reply, and then the guard gave me his full, stern attention.\n\"The hotel is closed, sir,\" he said.\nI couldn't help myself. \"Oh, really? Is that what this is? Here I thought the staff was trying to conserve energy by shutting out all the lights. Wow, well thanks, because that sure fills in some blanks for me.\"\nThe guard gave me a stony look, but I didn't give the tiniest shit. My leg hurt. My wrists were both feeling rather sprained, and my nose felt squashed flat. Plus, I was pretty sure that beads of this man's sweat had actually dripped onto my forehead and was even now mingling with my own dewy perspiration.\nI bent down and picked up my bag, after first groping around on the floor to make certain nothing had fallen out of it--it would be my luck that the bag had disgorged all of my underwear. Then, satisfied that everything was where it was supposed to be--except, apparently, for me--I turned and headed back down the hall to the loading dock. Behind me, the guard made more woofing noises into his walkie, but I quickly lost track of him because, just ahead of me, feeling his way along the hall, was a slightly familiar shape. The professor who'd driven me here from the airport. Apparently he had not ditched me. Or if he had, he'd since suffered a twinge of conscience and had come back.\nActually, it turned out that he had gone looking for an office where he knew there was a phone, but the phones were out. In the end, we stepped back outside where he promptly took out his cell phone and began making some calls.\nIn short order, he got hold of the home number of the assistant who had made my reservations and she brightly informed the professor that the hotel was closed (hey, I could have told them that). But she had made a reservation for me at a real hotel, just down on the main drag out of town. In fact, we'd gone right by the place about 30 minutes earlier. Why she never bothered to tell anyone about this change in plans is a mystery, but it didn't matter. I was glad to have a place to sleep, and I think the professor was relieved that his job candidate wasn't going to have to spend the night on his couch. Within the hour, I was safely tucked into bed at a nondescript motor court, where I fell asleep amidst a sheaf of papers, most of them notes for the lecture I was going to give tomorrow.\nI'll spare you a detailed recitation of that Wednesday, my first day of interviews. It consisted of the usual meet-and-greet with each member of the faculty. I had a long and somewhat illuminating chat with the dean, who asked me for an overview of my research presentation, which was going to take place the next day.\nThis was more or less the same question the professor had asked me on our drive to campus the night before, but it unsettled me a little to have the same question asked of me again. Had these people not looked at my resume? Did they not see that I had 20 years of practical field experience in magazines, books, newspapers, and Web sites, but had done no academic publishing? In fact, no one I knew in the field had done academic publishing until they, you know, started working in academia. Why was this such a deal to them?\nI didn't ask the dean that. Instead, I said, \"You know, I really don't have a research presentation per se. I just really haven't had the time to pursue that kind of work. I do have a couple of areas I'm interested in exploring.\"\n\"Oh?\" the dean said, perking up. \"Such as?\"\n\"Well,\" I began, \"you know, I have a pretty extensive background in health journalism. Most newspapers and magazines devote at least a little space every issue to health coverage. It's a topic of great interest to the public. And academically it's an area of great interest too.\" And here, I ticked off a list of colleges and universities that I knew had recently begun offering health-journalism classes, or even offered health writing as a minor or area of concentration. \"Actually, I'm surprised this school doesn't have such a program,\" I added. It was true. The university was, after all, offering all kinds of health majors in conjunction with a large local hospital--the biggest of its kind in the state, in point of fact. \"Anyway,\" I went on, \"I've long thought about writing a book on health-writing. It could be a text for such a class, and would certainly add to the body of critical analysis about the field, yes?\"\nThe dean nodded. \"Well, that's great that you have a nice little book idea there,\" he said. \"But the way our tenure track works, you'll probably want to publish something on health journalism as a journal article first.\"\nWell, this was going beyond disconcerting and treading on \"annoying\" territory. \"I have to admit,\" I finally said. \"I thought this school placed a higher premium on bringing in professors who had extensive, practical experience in their field. Surely that's important to the school, too? The sort of thing prospective students and their parents look for, yes? I mean, they're not going to be reading academic journals. Wouldn't they--and you--look for schools whose teachers had been in the trenches?\"\nThe dean looked pained. \"Oh no, no! I mean, yes. I mean, well, you're absolutely right: we do place a premium on practical experience. But we also expect our faculty members to publish in the academic field. You can't just write a book and call it good.\"\n\"Really,\" I said.\nThe dean nodded. Then he said: \"So I take it then you have not published any journal articles or have a set agenda for your research.\"\nSomehow, I had the feeling I was trying to call this guy, but the phone was ringing in another room. \"That's right,\" I said. \"Because I've been busy working in the field. But I'm a quick study, you know. I'm sure I can learn all there is to know about the process.\"\n\"Good, good,\" the dean said absently, jotting some notes on a clipboard in front of him. Then he abruptly stood up, shook my hand and walked me down the hall to my next interview.\nAnd I would have been prepared to dismiss what had just happened. I was willing to believe these folks weren't fooling themselves as well as me. I was fully capable of believing that they'd read my resume and brought me in because of my field experience and the dean was just a little out of touch, a man flailing in a dark corridor, feeling for a lightswitch. And I just happened to be a suitcase he'd tripped over.\nYes, I was prepared to believe all that. Except that, as soon as I was seated in front of the professor the dean brought me to--my next interview--the first words out of her mouth were:\n\"Tell me a little about your research goals, MM.\"\nAnd just then, I knew I wasn't going to get this job...\nIn Which I Take Leave of My Faculties...\nWell, I know I promised to tell you all about my recent trip, and my first official interview for a job in academia (actually, my first official job interview since becoming gainfully unemployed back in January), but then I got home and a couple of things happened.\nOne of those things I'll tell you about towards the end, but the other was a growing sense of profound apathy about the job. Not just because it became patently clear I wasn't going to get an offer, but because nothing of very great interest happened during my trip--well, at least when compared to the rest of my life.\nStill, I've never let a lack of anything interesting get in the way of my writing before, so we might as well jump right in:\nAs my plane was on final approach into the airport, I reviewed my notes for the umpty-ump time and walked myself through my itinerary for the next 48 hours. For starters, as soon as I got off the plane, I was going to have to look out for my ride. This is the first lesson of interviewing in academia: Colleges and universities seem remarkably disinclined to spend any kind of money to bring you in for an interview. I appreciate that everyone is on a tight budget these days, but you know something's awry when the search committee is willing to cut several hours of your visit short because you found a flight back home that was $100 cheaper than the one they were originally going to put you on.\nAnd to top it off, they won't let you rent a car, even though their location from the airport may be decidedly remote. No, instead, they were going to send someone to pick me up. At first, I found this vaguely alarming, as I imagined that they were going to dispatch some work-study undergrad to fetch me. I don't know what kind of driver you were when you were 19 or 20, but I was a pretty horrible one. Of course, that didn't stop me from using the gas pedal more or less continuously when I was in the car. So I could all too easily picture some gangly youth bundling me into the passenger seat of his dented little Hyundai and then embarking on a 90-minute careen through the countryside until we hit campus\u2014possibly quite literally.\nWell, my fears were assuaged--sort of--when I got a call on my cell phone and discovered that in fact I was going to be picked up by a member of the faculty--the head of the magazine department, if you want to know the truth. And so it was, a little after 5 o'clock that Tuesday evening that this pleasant, if somewhat distracted 60-something man met me at the bottom of the escalators, whereupon I assumed he would bundle me into his dented little Hyundai and off we'd careen. Instead, he suggested that we dine there at the airport--there apparently being a dearth of restaurant selections en route. You know your prospective employer has a different idea about wining and dining its job candidates when your welcome-to-campus dinner is eaten out of paper sacks in the airport food court, some 85 miles from campus itself. All I can say is, it was a first for me.\nBut I made the best of it. The professor and I chatted a bit about campus life, about the generally parlous state of the magazine industry, and about the professor's research work. Which reminded him of something. \"Are you doing your research presentation tomorrow, or on Thursday?\" he asked.\n\"Thursday,\" I replied, my itinerary already committed to memory (having looked at it only about a thousand times since it had been set the week before). \"Although, of course, I really won't have that much of a presentation to give,\" I reminded him. A week or so earlier, when this man called me to conduct the requisite telephone interview, he informed me that all candidates would be evaluated over a two-day period. Each day would be packed with meeting various deans and chairs and members of the faculty, all scheduled around two important events: One day, we'd be expected to present a lecture to a live class at the school. The next day, we'd be expected to deliver a presentation about our research agenda to the entire faculty. This had disturbed me when it was first mentioned, and I said as much.\nI could be wrong about these things, but I always envisioned the proper study of journalism to take place in a kind of trade school environment. And I mean that in the best possible way: journalism, whether in newspapers, magazines, broadcast, or online, is a trade, learned best on the job (hence the need for an internship or two), and under the tutelage of people who have actual experience in the field. The two schools where I studied the trade certainly felt this way--much was made of the faculty's broad experience in the industry.\nBut of course, this is also an academic setting, and to varying degrees, schools expect their faculty to contribute to the body of knowledge about the field. To that end, most professors--certainly most on a tenure track--are required to do some form of research, whether it's an ambitious survey of editors across the country, or a simple analysis of media coverage over a specific event.\nAs I told this professor--and as I thought should have been obvious from my resume--I had spent 20 years in field, actually doing my job, not analyzing how others did theirs. I had an intellectual interest in certain areas of the field and I had no doubt those interests could be translated into academic research or a journal article or two. But I wasn't going to pretend I had this kind of research experience when I didn't.\nI had been assured this wasn't an issue--that of course the school placed an appropriate level of emphasis on field experience. And I believed them. I mean, why would they waste their time and mine bringing me out to campus if they felt otherwise? And yet, it was clear they still expected me to prepare some kind of presentation about my research agenda. It was all most confusing.\nBut I didn't give it much thought. After nearly two months of unemployment, after 7 weeks of sitting shivering in my basement, hunched over my old computer, I was glad to get out, glad to go on an interview, even glad to have dinner in an airport food court.\nI even enjoyed the 90-minute drive back to campus, talking shop with the professor, and learning all sorts of interesting facts about the area. There was only one fact whose discovery brought me up short.\n\"So where exactly is this University Hotel that I'll be staying in?\" I asked as we crossed the city limits and I found myself reviewing my itinerary yet again. When I was an undergrad, the University Hotel at that school had been a fine affair indeed, a 10-story edifice run with commendable efficiency by the Sheraton hotel chain. I assumed it to be the same here, but a quick scan of the horizon revealed no tall hotel\u2014no tall buildings of any kind, except perhaps the university's bell tower, and I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be staying there.\n\"Oh, it's just up here,\" the professor said, pointing to a squat, dark building, half of it covered by scaffolding and Tyvek sheeting. And I realized with a sinking heart that it was a university hotel quite literally, was in fact run by the school and its students (some of whom, I could only hope, were actually majoring in hotel management). \"It's real nice,\" the professor assured me as we pulled into the darkened lot. \"They're giving it quite an overhaul,\" he added, as if this statement supported his previous one. But there was no arguing the point: they sure were getting an overhaul. As I watched some Tyvek flapping in the breeze on the third floor, I could only hope I was going to be staying on the other side of the building which, to be honest, looked like every dormitory I've ever seen or lived in. I imagined a cheerless couple of nights sleeping in a narrow metal cot, beneath a single flickering, fluorescent light fixture, surrounded by cinderblock walls painted the color of infant diarrhea.\nBut I realized I was being overly cynical and remonstrated myself for this attitude, as we got out of the car and I grabbed my small suitcase from the back. Just because I'd had dinner at the airport and had to be driven to campus by a member of the search committee, that was no reason to suppose that my visit here was going to be in any way disastrous, or even uncomfortable.\nWhich was a thought I enjoyed for about 30 more seconds, right up until we got to the front door of the hotel and found it locked tight.\n\"Hmm,\" the professor said absently, as he stepped back and gave the hotel an appraising look.\n\"As you sure they're, um, open?\" I asked.\n\"Oh, of course they are,\" he said, with just a hint of sharpness. \"I'm sure we're just at the wrong entrance.\" Personally, I wasn't so sure. After all, there wasn't a single light on in any of the windows on the floors above. Not one. And as the professor strode down a dark sidewalk that ran parallel to the building, I took an extra second to peer in through the window set into the entrance door. In the interior distance I saw what looked like a check-in desk, completely unmanned, illumined only by the faint glow of an \"Exit\" sign nearby.\nI trotted down the steps and followed the professor who, absolutely undaunted, took me on tour of the building from all sides. In the end, we tried every door and found one open, Naturally, it was the door next to the loading dock.\n\"Now we're getting somewhere,\" the professor said, glancing at his watch. \"And good thing too. I really need to be getting home.\" He stepped inside. I followed him. And found myself in complete and utter blackness.\n\"Listen,\" I said, not wanting to upset the man. \"I'm really thinking something's off here. Maybe we should call--\"\n\"No, no,\" he insisted as he clomped blindly down the corridor, running his hand along the wall, feeling for a light switch. \"I was told your reservations were confirmed for two days here.\"\nYeah, well, I'm not sure how comfortable I feel staying at a hotel that doesn\u2019t have a single light on, that appears to be completely abandoned, and whose only open entrance is off of the loading dock, I thought, but commendably said nothing.\nIn a few moments, we rounded a corner and found ourselves standing directly under the \"Exit\" sign I'd seen from the other entrance. Just in front of us was a broad, flat desk, with a sign bearing the legend \"check-in\" hanging helpfully over it. It was completely unlit. It was obvious to me that we were the only human beings in the building.\nJust then, I felt the tiny hairs on my neck begin to rise. I half-expected to stumble over a body there in the darkness, or to find the staff bound and gagged in a broom closet, while somewhere nearby--perhaps even crouched behind the check-in desk--killers or terrorists or perhaps just an unbalanced student with a gun--lay in wait. Quite unbidden, I found myself taking a fractional step behind the professor, putting his bulk between me and the desk.\n\"Well, this can't be!\" the professor said hotly, then rounded on me. \"Did you get a call or message that your reservation had been changed?\" he asked, a hint of challenge in his voice, as if perhaps it was my fault the university hotel was so desolate. Of course, I'd received no such call and said so as meekly and companionably as I could. The professor kept looking at his watch\u2014it had become almost a nervous tic by now.\n\"Well, you wait here for a minute,\" he said finally and, with a hint of impatience, strode back the way we had come.\nOh great, I thought, and began fishing through my bag for a flashlight. I didn't have one, of course, so in the end I had to take out my cell phone and use the screen light to illuminate my surroundings. The few extra lumens it put out did nothing but exaggerate the shadows and general gloom around me, although the feeble light did at least extend my vision just enough to see that there were no bodies in the immediate vicinity. I did, however, notice a light switch on the wall. I went over and flicked it up and down several times, but nothing happened. I looked around the check-in desk to see if there might be a note, a bloody handprint, anything to indicate why the place was deserted, but I was thwarted.\nI was about to look for a phone--thinking it would have a campus directory with it and I might be able to call security--when I heard a car engine rev to life close by and felt a cold fist close around my heart.\nAre you kidding me? I wondered as I stumbled toward the locked entrance. Did this guy just ditch me?\nIn my haste to reach the entrance to see if this was so, I tripped over something soft but unyielding in the corridor before me. And as I fell, both arms splayed forward in a way practically guaranteed to break my wrists, it occurred to me to wonder if this wasn't all part of some elaborate set-up. If perhaps the job interview had already started, and this was part of some complex psychological evaluation.\nAnd then I contacted the floor with my face and finally saw some light--the bright spotty kind that flashes up brilliantly just before everything goes completely dark...",

        "raw_content": "False Abuse Accusations Cost Taxpayers $20 Billion, Report Finds\nWASHINGTON, July 14, 2008 \u2013 Divorce lawyers acknowledge persons often make allegations of abuse in order to gain a legal edge. A report released today shows such claims are widespread, harmful to the children involved in such cases, devastating to persons falsely accused, and costly to the American taxpayer.\nThe report, \"False Allegations of Domestic Violence Cost Taxpayers $20 Billion a Year,\" compiles government statistics and research studies to reach three conclusions:\nEach year our nation spends $4 billion for domestic violence programs.\nEach year about 175,000 children are involved in a divorce with a false allegation of domestic violence.\nThese claims contribute to $20 billion in public costs and taxpayer burden associated with single-parent families.\nThe report is published by RADAR \u2013 Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting \u2013 and is available at: http://www.mediaradar.org/docs/RADARreport-False-DV-Allegations-Cost-20-Billion.pdf\nChildren are often harmed by false claims. Attorney Lisa Scott of Bellvue, Wash. notes, \"The ones hurt most of all are the children kept away from a loving parent.\"\nThe report highlights the recent case of Emily Hindle whose mother falsely accused the father of domestic violence in order to abduct the child. The mother later discontinued the child\ufffds medical treatment, causing the child to lose her sight in one eye.\n\"False allegations of abuse are currently the greatest violation of due process in our legal system,\" reveals family attorney Gregory Hession of Springfield, Mass. \"In my practice, I\ufffdve found the majority of the allegations used to obtain restraining orders are false or greatly exaggerated.\"\nVictims of false allegations are beginning to fight back. Former state Rep. Eric Major won a $500,000 award against the city of Birmingham, Ala., stemming from his 2004 arrest and subsequent acquittal on charges that he attacked his ex-fiancee.\nFalse allegations often arise from programs funded by the Violence Against Women Act. RADAR recently launched a Fix VAWA Now! campaign to increase awareness of the need to reform ineffective and harmful domestic violence laws.",

        "raw_content": "That the Minutes of the meeting of the Panel held on 11 January 2018 be confirmed and signed by the Chairman as a correct record.\nCouncillor Malcolm Cross declared an Interest in agenda item 5, General Fund Revenue Budget 2018/19, because he is a Borough and Parish Councillor\nThe Chair reported that she had taken part in a Members training session on Tuesday 6 February 2018 on Equality and Diversity which had been sparsely attended. It had been a very thought provoking session that pushed councillors to be more challenging about equality and diversity, and that reports, although they contained information on this subject, should take this more into consideration with regards to any proposed recommendations. There would be more training sessions after May and she hoped more councillors would attend.\nConsideration was given to the joint report of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Executive (Agenda item 5) concerning the Council\u2019s proposed budget for 2018/19.\nSarah King, Corporate Director - Support Services (CFO), provided a presentation advising how the Budget was constructed from the approved Medium Term Financial Plan, and included the continuing Efficiency Strategy. All Members had been invited to the meeting with an especial invite to Members of the Audit and Resources Committee.\nA revised Appendix A, Budget Summary 2017/18 to 2021/22, was tabled to replace page 23 of the agenda.\nIt was explained that the 2018/19 Budget had been prepared on the following basis:\n\u00b7 In October 2017 the Council approved the Medium Term Financial Plan that provided the background for the preparation of the Revised Budget for 2017/18 and Budget for 2018/19.\n\u00b7 All managers identify potential pressures in their services, and these, together with what was received from business rates; government grants, and council tax make up the balanced budget.\n\u00b7 There were assumptions that had been built into the budget that comprised: 2% pay award in future years; pay and reward budget of \u00a3100,000 per annum; general inflation; fees and charges; interest rates, council tax; and in accordance with the Medium Term Financial Plan, the General Fund Reserve was maintained at more than \u00a31M. This was above the minimum of 10% of the Council\u2019s Net General Fund Requirement, which for 2018/19 was a balance of \u00a3968,000.\n\u00b7 The Council had committed to a freeze in Council Tax in 2018/19. The Budget Strategy estimated a 2.5% increase for future years. The underlying commitment from the Council for the last 14 years had been to increase Council Tax by 1% less than inflation prevailing at 31 December in the preceding year (4.2% at December 2017). If Council was to increase Council Tax by 3.2% rather than freeze the tax, then the additional yield to the Council in 2018/19 would be \u00a3186,400.\n\u00b7 The \u00a34.7M efficiency target was on track to be achieved.\n\u00b7 The total borrowing would be \u00a3388M by the end of 2017/18. Fixed borrowing of \u00a350M had been taken out in April 2017 for 50 years at 2.31%. Borrowing for property in 2018/19 was \u00a3194M generating a revenue surplus of \u00a310M; contribution from borrowing strategy meant a positive impact on Council Tax of \u00a3110.30 in 2017/18; and interest reserve being built to protect against future interest rises.\nThis represented a significant achievement and a positive prospect for the Council during a period when it had been undergoing the most radical transformation in 20 years. At the same time there was significant external uncertainty and challenge for the Borough\u2019s businesses and residents.\nThere was a great deal of uncertainty regarding the future in terms of the general economy, the impact of the exit from the EU and areas specific to Local Government such as the introduction of 100% business rates retention. It was essential that the Council continued to develop more efficient ways of working and used strategy to focus resources to deliver the most effective services and carry out the aims of the Corporate Plan.\nThe Chair thanked the Sarah King, (CFO) and Corporate Director, Support Services for her report.\nDuring the debate the Panel members expressed that they were very encouraged by the report, it was well constructed and there were many councils in the country that were not seeing a similar document.\nIt was noted that Appendix D required amending to reflect that the first ninety minutes free parking on a Saturday in Bishopstoke Road; and that paragraph 58 of the report be amended to take ... view the full minutes text for item 34.\nThat actions with a completion date should be removed from the list.\nPanel members considered their Work Programme to January 2019.\nIt was AGREED that the Work Programme be noted.",

        "title": "Guns N Roses \u2013 Metal Riot",
        "raw_content": "Hometown: Los Angeles, California\tCurrent Label: Interscope Records\tWebsites: Official Website\nBand Members: Axl Rose - Vocals\nDj Ashba - Guitar\nTommy Stinson - Bass\nBumblefoot - Guitar\nFrank Ferrer - Drums\nGuns N Roses Bio:\nAt a time when pop was dominated by dance music and pop-metal, Guns N' Roses brought raw, ugly rock & roll crashing back into the charts. They were not nice boys; nice boys don't play rock & roll. They were ugly, misogynist, and violent; they were also funny, vulnerable, and occasionally sensitive, as their breakthrough hit, \"Sweet Child O' Mine,\" showed. While Slash and Izzy Stradlin ferociously spit out dueling guitar riffs worthy of Aerosmith or the Stones, Axl Rose screeched out his tales of sex, drugs, and apathy in the big city. Meanwhile, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler were a limber rhythm section who kept the music loose and powerful. Guns N' Roses' music was basic and gritty, with a solid hard, bluesy base; they were dark, sleazy, dirty, and honest -- everything that good hard rock and heavy metal should be. There was something refreshing about a band who could provoke everything from devotion to hatred, especially since both sides were equally right. There hadn't been a hard rock band this raw or talented in years, and they were given added weight by Rose's primal rage, the sound of confused, frustrated white trash vying for his piece of the pie. As the '80s became the '90s, there simply wasn't a more interesting band around, but owing to intra-band friction and the emergence of alternative rock, Rose's supporting cast gradually disintegrated, as he spent years in seclusion.\nGuns N' Roses released their first EP in 1986, which led to a contract with Geffen; the following year, the band released their debut album, Appetite for Destruction. They started to build a following with their numerous live shows, but the album didn't start selling until almost a year later, when MTV started playing \"Sweet Child O' Mine.\" Soon, both the album and single shot to number one, and Guns N' Roses became one of the biggest bands in the world. Their debut single, \"Welcome to the Jungle,\" was re-released and shot into the Top Ten, and \"Paradise City\" followed in its footsteps. By the end of 1988, they released G N' R Lies, which paired four new, acoustic-based songs (including the Top Five hit \"Patience\") with their first EP. G N' R Lies' inflammatory closer, \"One in a Million,\" sparked intense controversy, as Rose slipped into misogyny, bigotry, and pure violence; essentially, he somehow managed to distill every form of prejudice and hatred into one five-minute tune.\nNirvana's Nevermind hit number one in early 1992, suddenly making Guns N' Roses -- with all of their pretensions, impressionistic videos, models, and rock star excesses -- seem very uncool. Rose handled the change by becoming a dictator, or at least a petty tyrant; his in-concert temper tantrums became legendary, even going so far as to incite a riot in Montreal. Stradlin left by the end of 1991, and with his departure the band lost their best songwriter; he was replaced by ex-Kills for Thrills guitarist Gilby Clarke. The band didn't fully grasp the shift in hard rock until 1993, when they released an album of punk covers, The Spaghetti Incident?; it received some good reviews, but the band failed to capture the reckless spirit of not only the original versions, but their own Appetite for Destruction. By the middle of 1994, there were rumors flying that the band was about to break up, since Rose wanted to pursue a new, more industrial direction and Slash wanted to stick with their blues-inflected hard rock. The band remained in limbo for several more years, and Slash resurfaced in 1995 with the side project Slash's Snakepit and an LP, It's Five O'Clock Somewhere.\nRose remained out of the spotlight, becoming a virtual recluse and doing nothing but tinkering in the studio; he also recruited various musicians -- including Dave Navarro, Tommy Stinson, and ex-Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck -- for informal jam sessions. Remaining members were infuriated by Rose's inclusion of childhood friend Paul Huge in the new sessions when both Stradlin and Clarke were excluded from rejoining the band. And a remake of the Rolling Stones' \"Sympathy for the Devil\" was essentially the straw that broke the camel's back, as Rose cut out some of the other member's contributions and pasted Huge over the song without consulting anyone else. By 1996, Slash was officially out of Guns N' Roses, leaving Rose the lone remaining survivor from the group's heyday; rumors continued to swirl, and still no new material was forthcoming, though Rose did re-record Appetite for Destruction with a new lineup for rehearsal purposes. The first new original GNR song in eight years, the industrial metal sludge of \"Oh My God\" finally appeared on the soundtrack to the 1999 Arnold Schwarzenegger film End of Days. Soon after, Geffen issued the two-disc Live Era: '87-'93.\n2000 brought the addition of guitarists Robin Finck (of Nine Inch Nails) and Buckethead. 2001 was greeted with Guns N' Roses' first live dates in nearly seven years, as the band (who consisted of Rose plus guitarists Finck, Buckethead, bassist Stinson, former Primus drummer Brian \"Brain\" Mantia, childhood friend and guitarist Paul Huge, and longtime GNR keyboardist Dizzy Reed) played a show on New Years Eve 2000 in Las Vegas, playing as well at the mammoth Rock in Rio festival the following month. On New Years Eve 2001, the band played almost the exact same set as the year before.\nAn appearance at MTV's 2002 Video Music Awards helped garner interest in the new lineup, but a rusty performance from Rose and an interview where he said his new album wasn't coming out anytime soon didn't do much to further their cause. That summer, the band started on their first tour in almost eight years, and they managed to fulfill all of their commitments in Europe and Asia. Sadly, they caused a violent and destructive riot in Vancouver when Rose failed to show up for the first date of their North American tour. While he was up to his old shenanigans with the retooled lineup, former Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland, Slash, Sorum, and McKagan formed the successful Velvet Revolver in spring 2002.\nAnd so years passed and still no new GNR album, to the point where it became a joke to many. The album was long billed as Chinese Democracy, and occasionally session recordings would leak and make their way onto Internet file-sharing networks. A fascinating article written by Jeff Leeds for The New York Times, published March 2005, revealed how tangled and costly the making of the album had become. According to the article, titled \"The Most Expensive Album Never Released,\" Rose began work on the album in 1994 and racked up production costs of at least 13 million dollars. Producers involved with the album at one time or another include Mike Clink, Youth, Sean Beavan, and even Roy Thomas Baker. (Curiously, Moby claimed to have been offered the job as well.) Marco Beltrami and Paul Buckmaster were allegedly brought in for orchestral arrangements, and there was a revolving door of guitarists.

        "raw_content": "Sweat coats my skin as I grind against the metal pole, the heat\u2019s verging on over-powering, and even though I\u2019m wearing next-to-nothing the feel of cool steel beneath my fingers is still more than welcome.\nLoud music pounds from concealed speakers, wrapping itself around me, the dimly-lit club vibrating to the beat of a heavy rock track, and I close my eyes and lean back against the thick metal pole, gripping it loosely as I slide slowly down, spreading my legs, my arms raised high above my head, and still that thumping beat washes over me, allowing me to lose myself in the music.\nSo many eyes are on me right now, but I like that. It gets me off, it\u2019s what I do now \u2013 demand attention from men so weak all it takes is a smile; a flash of my tits and they\u2019re mine. They\u2019re all fucking mine.\nWinding my legs around the pole, I feel that familiar rush flood through me, taking me over. The music seems louder, the beat heavier as I twist my body down the cool metal, feeling it slide between my thighs \u2013 thighs I know most of the men in this club would kill to get between. But they\u2019ll never get the chance. I don\u2019t go there, this isn\u2019t that kind of place.\nReaching the floor, I set one spike-heeled boot down first, then the other, hands on hips as I throw back my head, I\u2019m lapping up every second of the attention I\u2019m getting. Almost every man in this room wants me, and that\u2019s good, that means I\u2019m doing my job. I\u2019ve worked hard to make sure this is the way things are now, I want that power, and I have it, in spades.\nFalling to my knees, I allow myself a second to scan the crowded bar \u2013 this place is my home now. From the well-groomed men in suits that have probably told their wives they\u2019re talking business at some Sushi restaurant, to the tattooed bad boy bikers that always outnumber the former, to the A-list celebrities that make this their hang-out of choice when they\u2019re in Vegas, they\u2019re all here to see me. To watch me dance, see me this close to naked; fantasize over everything they\u2019ll never get, very few men even get close to touching me, to touching any of us girls. And those that do \u2013 those that choose to pay for the private rooms \u2013 they get what they\u2019re given. It\u2019s all at our discretion. We call the shots, they play on our terms.\nWith one swift flick of my hand, I tear off my black strapless bra, flinging it aside, hands on my rock-hard thighs, my back arched slightly, pushing my tits up to heaven. This is my power. Every man in this room is right where I want them, and I\u2019ll never tire of that feeling.\nI find myself staring out into the crowd again, something I don\u2019t usually make a habit of, I have no idea why I\u2019m doing it so much tonight. But as I once more scan the room, my eyes suddenly lock with those of a man who seems vaguely familiar to me. He\u2019s one hot son-of-a-bitch, too, but I can\u2019t quite place where I\u2019ve seen him before. If he\u2019d paid for a private room, I\u2019d've remembered someone like him. Dressed in dark pants, cowboy boots, and a white shirt, the sleeves of which are rolled up to his elbows, exposing tanned, heavily tattooed forearms \u2013 it almost makes him a contradiction. Somewhat smartly dressed, yet those tattoos \u2013 and those boots \u2013 they tell me there\u2019s probably another side to him, and that excites me. Predictability isn\u2019t my thing. I\u2019m almost addicted to danger; the thrill that comes with spontaneity. And this man, he seems dangerous to me, the way he\u2019s sitting \u2013 right back in his seat, his long legs stretched out in front of him, it smacks of a laid back arrogance.\nI hold his gaze for probably a second or two longer than I should\u2019ve done, but his stare, it\u2019s setting every nerve-ending in my body on red alert, and I\u2019m starting to like it just a little too much. I can\u2019t let that happen. I\u2019m not giving him a private show here. So I break that stare, I stand up. I turn around, bury my fingers in my mane of dark curls; I start to walk away, but the look I throw over my shoulder as I strut off the stage, that\u2019s just for him. And it\u2019s only when I\u2019m safely back in the dressing-room that I realize his eyes had constantly been on mine \u2013 they hadn\u2019t fixed on my tits or stared longingly at my thighs in the hope that the heaven that lies between them would be exposed. He\u2019d looked at me. And that in itself is enough to send a shiver of raw excitement shooting right through me.\nThe adrenaline\u2019s still coursing through my veins as I grab a robe from the back of the dressing room door, smiling to myself as I check my reflection in the mirror. I\u2019m practically glowing! Because I love what I do. I love messing with men\u2019s heads. I\u2019m playing games. Games I always win\u2026\nRunning a hand along the back of my neck, I let out a long, almost drawn-out breath. I\u2019m not a stranger to this private club tucked away amidst the bright lights and huge, towering hotels of the Las Vegas Strip, but sometimes these girls have a habit of hitting you right in the solar plexus when you least expect it. It\u2019s almost as though they can sense any tiny shred of vulnerability, and take advantage of that without even realizing they\u2019re doing it. Not that I\u2019m vulnerable. Far from it. They\u2019re just something to look at, these girls. Something to help take my mind off whatever shit\u2019s happening outside, they\u2019re forgettable, throwaway dancing dolls. But that one there \u2013 with the killer hips and eyes that seemed to stare right into me \u2013 there\u2019s something about her that I can\u2019t seem to let go of.\n\u201cAre we staying here all freakin\u2019 night?\u201d\nI stand up and raise a questioning eyebrow at the scowling young man in front of me. \u201cYou telling me you don\u2019t like it here?\u201d\n\u201cI frigging love it here, Jesus! It\u2019s like all my fucking Christmases have come at once, but I\u2019m wrecked, man! That was one kick-ass set we played tonight, and all I\u2019m ready for now is a few beers over at Clay\u2019s and some mindless sex with any pretty face that wants it. Then I\u2019m gonna sleep for two days.\u201d\nI raise that eyebrow again, a slight smirk on my face. \u201cSo, you\u2019re banking on there definitely being a pretty face that wants you, huh, Cal?\u201d\nCal looks at me as though I\u2019ve just said something completely ridiculous, laughing an almost disbelieving laugh as he drains the last of his beer before tossing the bottle aside. He\u2019s a rock star. He gets away with that shit.\n\u201cI\u2019m gonna round up the rest of the band. You coming?\u201d\nI glance quickly behind me, as if I still expect her to be there, on the stage \u2013 the girl with the shit-hot body and legs that seemed to go on forever. \u201cI\u2019ll meet you in a bit.\u201d I turn back to face Cal. \u201cClay\u2019s, right?\u201d\nCal nods before turning around and making his way back over to the bar.\nBowing my head, I rub the back of my neck again. I really need to sleep. The past few weeks have been crazy, and all of a sudden it feels as if everything\u2019s catching up with me, Christ, maybe I\u2019m getting too old for this shit. Hell! Who am I kidding? I\u2019m never gonna to be too old for this shit. This shit\u2019s in my blood, always has been. Cal Connor may be the hot young rock star right now, but I know exactly what it\u2019s like to stand in those boots of his\u2026\nI\u2019d been one of the biggest names in rock, once. No, fuck that, I\u2019m selling myself short here. I still am one of the biggest names in rock. I\u2019m a fucking legend!\nDeep and gravel-toned, that\u2019s how they\u2019d described my voice when I\u2019d been starting out, and it was that, and my dark, brooding good looks \u2013 \u2018cause I\u2019m one handsome son-of-a-bitch, make no mistake \u2013 that won me a fan base to outnumber any of my rivals back in the day. I\u2019ve sold millions of records all over the world, played to sell-out crowds at gigs and festivals in so many countries I can\u2019t even remember; had groupies falling at my feet wherever I went, some of which I took advantage of, come on! Of course I did! I\u2019d been one of the biggest rock stars in the world, for Christ\u2019s sake! And you don\u2019t turn that kinda shit down when it\u2019s put right there on a plate for you.\nBut all that came to an end, briefly, when, in a stupid, spur-of-the-moment action, I\u2019d married one of those groupies. A beautiful blonde with incredible tits and a smile that could stop traffic, she\u2019d turned out to be one huge fucking mistake. And people had told me at the time, man, they\u2019d never stopped telling me, but I never had been one to take advice from anybody. That ill-fated and ultimately short-lived marriage had ended after just seven weeks, when I\u2019d realized I didn\u2019t want to leave my rock star life behind. Because she had. The second that ring had gone on her finger she\u2019d wanted me to settle down, give her babies; move into a condo in Miami and live a quiet family life. Fuck that!\nI gave her enough money to set her up for decades, kissed her goodbye, and went back out on the road. I lived life to those crazy excesses for a few more years, with back-to-back sold-out tours and albums that wouldn\u2019t stop selling. I was a freakin\u2019 rock god, an idol. I could command a stage like nobody else, I loved every second of being out there. Until I hit my late thirties. And I have no idea why it happened then, but that\u2019s when I\u2019d started to grow more than a little tired of the constant touring. But no way was I just disappearing, I went out on a high, with a run of farewell gigs that had sold out in minutes; record sales that went through the roof. Nobody was gonna forget Seth Carter in a hurry. Which is why, despite me saying goodbye to the limelight, I couldn\u2019t leave the industry behind, I loved that world too much. I\u2019d lived in it for far too long to tear myself away from it forever. I\u2019d just needed to find a way to stay a part of it, and setting up my own record label, that seemed the obvious thing to do. The next step.\nFrom that moment on, I\u2019ve made it my mission to discover a new generation of rock stars that may never find that lucky break they need to get past all the TV talent show dross that seems to have a stranglehold on the music industry. I\u2019m a respected record company owner and producer now, but that ain\u2019t stopped women throwing themselves at me; hasn\u2019t stopped me from taking advantage of that, but marrying again? Hell, no! I got burned once, why the fuck would I go there twice? Women still want me \u2013 they ain\u2019t making no secret of that. And I still want them. Man, I\u2019m one damn lucky bastard!\nClay\u2019s is packed to the rafters, the music\u2019s loud, the beer\u2019s ice-cold, I\u2019m good. I\u2019m more than good, I\u2019m on a freakin\u2019 high! Life\u2019s one big party right now, and I\u2019m not wasting a fucking second of that.\nLooking around the bar, my eyes lock on those of a pretty redhead over the other side of the room, and I throw her a smile that lets her know she can have me, if she wants me. And why wouldn\u2019t she? They all want me. Spending a night with Cal Connor is like hitting the jackpot, and there\u2019d certainly been some winners over the last few weeks as this tour wound its way across Canada and North America before finally landing here in Vegas for four nights of wild excess and shows that had rocked like no others. That\u2019s what this town does to people. It gets inside you; makes you crazy. The drugs have nothing to do with it. The alcohol merely heightens everything. It\u2019s Vegas that does it for me, it\u2019s in my blood. I was born here, in Primm, to schoolteacher parents; brought up here before my family moved to Santa Monica just before I started High School. But it\u2019s never left me, this place. My heart\u2019s here, I\u2019m comfortable here. This place gets me. And even though my base is L.A. now, Vegas will always be my home.\nLittle-Miss-Redhead\u2019s still looking my way, and I flash her another winning grin, she is so fucking mine tonight. This shit comes so easy when you\u2019re one of the best rock band front men around right now, and I got no right being anything other than the best, we\u2019re being guided by a bone-fide rock legend. Seth Carter, he saw what we had to offer, signing us to his record label after seeing us play just three songs at a gig in a warehouse just off Hollywood Boulevard. He put Twelve Bore Down where I knew we were always destined to be \u2013 on the road to being as much of a legend as he was. Is. We\u2019re one of the biggest rock bands in the country right now, thanks to Seth. He\u2019s shown faith in us, deemed us important enough to manage us himself, and that \u2013 as anyone in the rock world knows \u2013 means that Seth Carter thinks we\u2019re going places. We\u2019re killing it wherever we go, as this latest tour\u2019s proved, man, I\u2019m still on top of the freakin\u2019 world! Still buzzing! Still on a high after a crazy final gig and two hours spent in one of Vegas\u2019 most elite private clubs, where the women show you almost everything but give you fuck all \u2013 unless you put in a specific request, and even then there\u2019s no guarantee. But I don\u2019t ask for anything, I don\u2019t need to. Whatever I want, it\u2019s given to me, and that includes women. They don\u2019t need asking twice, just ask Little-Miss-Redhead over there. So, I\u2019d been more than happy to do nothing but look at the perfect tits and the rock hard thighs of those women in Isla\u2019s. Happy to watch them gyrate their red-hot asses just meters away from me, they were there to start the party. Here\u2019s where it really gets going.\nTaking one last swig of beer, I slam the empty bottle down on the counter, smiling like the cat who\u2019s about to get the cream as Little-Miss-Redhead saunters over, starting at me with wide eyes and a pout on her pretty face that\u2019s telling me that mouth\u2019s gonna work its own kind of magic on me before this night is done. I fucking love my life!\n'Reckless' is available to download HERE.",

        "raw_content": "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms Blends Modern and Traditional Visual Techniques\nDisney has always looked for new ways to blend traditional and modern techniques. Since the days of Steamboat Willie filmmakers at Disney have started with pencil and paper, added the latest technology, and created on-screen movie magic that has captivated audiences for generations. The stunning visuals of Disney\u2019s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms continues that legacy. It immerses moviegoers into fantastical worlds rich with detail and dimension that exceed any adaptation of E.T.A. Hoffmann\u2019s story that has come before. Disney\u2019s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms opened this weekend.\nAcademy Award\u00ae-nominated and BAFTA-winning production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas (Inception) began his filmmaking career at Industrial Light & Magic, where he worked in visual effects. Though well-versed in the most current digital tools of the trade, the artist \u201cthinks with a pencil\u201d. Dyas uses a 6B soft pencil, to be exact. In designing the look for The Nutcracker the Four Realms, Dyas filled several notebooks with sketches he made as he studied Ashleigh Powell\u2019s screenplay for the film. Dyas embarked upon his creative process with nearly 200 pencil drawings. They would eventually form the basis for the film\u2019s exquisitely detailed sets and amazing visual effects.\n\u201cThere was absolute freedom just to dream,\u201d Dyas says of his creative partnership with Disney. This partnership began before the film was even given an official greenlight. Working with director Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m and a team of illustrators, Dyas guided his hand-drawn images from sketch to concept art. This led to set pieces that include a 30-foot marionette housing Mother Ginger (played by Helen Mirren). It also includes worlds rich with forests, waterfalls, ice and even candy. \u201cI\u2019ve been able to hold on to that image from the pencil drawing, which was my gut reaction to reading that written word, right through to what you see on screen,\u201d he says.\nThe Nutcracker and the Four Realms Virtual Sets\nDyas designed these sets using 3-D imaging. This imaging is a more efficient process than traditional drafting. It also becomes the basis for the work of the visual effects team. And, of course, on a film of this scale\u2014and with a fantastical story that includes a Nutcracker soldier and a land that is essentially an enormous melting glacier\u2014there were simply some things that could only be created digitally, such as a menacing Mouse King comprised of 60,000 mice. The completely CG character emerged from Dyas\u2019 sketchbook. It was inspired by his memories of reading Bram Stoker\u2019s Dracula as a young boy in England.\nThe Nutcracker and the Four Realms Practical Sets\nBut where they could, Dyas and his team built practical sets that the actors could inhabit and lands they could be immersed. This immersion extends also to the moviegoers, who will see Mackenzie Foy, as Clara, run through a forest of trees that stood tall on the soundstage. They will also marvel alongside the Stahlbaum family when the enigmatic Drosselmeyer throws open the doors to his spectacular Christmas celebration.\n\u201cWe had the advantage of being in the U.K., where there are a lot of great craftsmen who still exist from the golden age of cinema,\u201d Dyas says, sharing that the film\u2019s extended ballet sequence starring Misty Copeland features flowers that actually open like origami, trees that grow before our eyes and an artisan-made curiosity box from which the prima ballerina emerges, among other visual delights. \u201cAll of that happened because we came at this project from a very old-fashioned standpoint,\u201d Dyas explains, noting that he looked to Disney classics such as Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks for creative inspiration.\nDyas pointed to Disney\u2019s 2016 photorealistic reimagining of The Jungle Book and the upcoming 2019 release The Lion King. Both as brilliant examples of how traditional artistry and cutting-edge technology will continue to be inextricably connected. \u201cI think the days where the art department and visual effect were separate entities\u2014that gap has closed,\u201d he says.\nAnd while Dyas will continue to use all of the digital tools that he has at his disposal, he has no plans to abandon his notebooks or pencils. \u201cI get paid to sketch things and watch them come to life,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s the best job in the world.\u201d\nTags: Guy Hendrix DyasThe NutcrackerThe Nutcracker and the Four Realms\n10 Disney Movies You Might Not Have Seen (but should!)\nUltimate Review \u2013 Ant-Man and the Wasp",

        "raw_content": "Fellowship, Jobs, Research, Residency/Fellowship, Science\nAbout The Santa Fe Institute: SFI was founded 35 years ago by a cross-disciplinary mix of leading scholars, including Nobel Laureates Murray Gell-Mann (Physics), Kenneth Arrow (Economics), Manfred Eigen (Chemistry) and Phil Anderson (Physics). Today, we are the world\u2019s leading center for complexity science research. Rolling Stone magazine called us \u201ca sort of Justice League of renegade geeks, where teams of scientists from disparate fields study the Big Questions.\u201d The journal Nature called us \u201cThat mecca of multi-disciplinary complexity studies.\u201d Novelist Cormac McCarthy\u2019s more poetic reflections on the Institute be found here: https://www.santafe.edu/cormac\nAbout the Translational Fellows Program: The Translational Fellows Program is an experiment. This new two-year program focuses on bridging the gap between the theoretical development of complexity science and its application. Translational Fellows will divide their time at SFI between three distinct activities. First, they will immerse themselves in the study of complexity science at the Institute. Second, they will collaborate closely with key decision makers drawn from SFI\u2019s Applied Complexity Network and Board of Trustees to explore the potential for applied complexity science outside of academia. Finally, fellows will lead a project whose outcome is the demonstrable adoption of complexity insights by the Institute\u2019s partners or constituents. The Translational Fellows Program is ideal for those wishing to become leaders in applied complexity science outside of the traditional academic environment.\nThe application processes is open to individuals of all disciplinary backgrounds. Applications will be reviewed as they are received. Applications completed by March 17, 2019 will receive the fullest consideration. To learn more, or to apply, please visit us online: https://www.santafe.edu/tfapply\nThe Santa Fe Institute is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We actively seek and encourage applications from minorities, women, and people with disabilities.\nCategory: Fellowship Jobs Research Residency/Fellowship Science\nPrevious Article Humanities Librarian at Texas A&M University \u2013 College Station, TX\nNext Article Information Literacy Coordinator at Southeast Missouri State University \u2013 Cape Girardeau, MS\nNotice: It seems you have Javascript disabled in your Browser.

It could've been enough for him to want to disassociate from the guy to whom he was so deeply connected that he spent his first few years as a pro being referred to with the prefix \"Jordan Spieth's good friend\". He reached No. 1 in the world at one point and has since added a third career major, earlier this year at the British Open.\n\"I just wanted to get myself in a position where I'm at least in range of the leaders\", Johnson said Sunday following his round. \"And I'd love to make it six or seven wins\".\nThomas shot seventeen under par for his last three rounds to catapult himself up the leaderboard and win the tournament by three shots from friend Jordan Spieth in second place and Australian Marc Leishman in third.\nLeishman shot 40 on the back nine and wound up four back after a 70.\nBut Spieth, who finished second at 14 under, shot 2 over on the back nine, leaving the door open for the reigning PGA Championship victor.\nThere are two FedEx Cup playoff tournaments remaining, including the BMW Championship in two weeks followed by the Tour Championship one week after that.\nThomas and Spieth have been competing against each other since they were 13 and playing junior golf. \"Eight through 14 is the meat of the golf course\". \"So if you are hitting it well, you can get a lot of chances\".\nFacebookPinterestThomas and Spieth have been competing against each other since they were 13 and playing junior golf\nDustin Johnson played second fiddle to Justin Thomas' masterful third round at the Dell Technologies Championship, but the FedEx Cup points leader was happy to get back into contention.\nLeishman saw the lead evaporate with five bogeys on the back side, including three straight from Nos.\nMeanwhile, Masters champion Sergio Garcia slammed and broke his putter after leaving an eagle putt woefully short on the fourth hole, but on his next shot, he sunk a 14-foot putt with his three-wood. And then he closed with two bogeys that only cost him money.\nLater, after a poor tee shot at the par-three 16th, he received a free drop from a poor lie in heavy rough, because a sprinkler head interfered with his stance.\nThomas carded 66 to finish at 17-under-par 267, while Spieth bogeyed the par-five 18th to shoot 67.\nPhil Mickelson led a group of four players tied for sixth at 11 under. He couldn't keep pace.\nIn a final-round 66, Matsuyama made six birdies against a lone bogey for his lowest score of the tournament, but his 5-under total was not enough to push him higher up the season's points standings as all three players above him - Thomas, Spieth and Dustin Johnson - finished better in MA. But then it all changed when Spieth missed the green at No. 14, did well to hit a flop shot to 15 feet and narrowly missed his par putt.\nMayweather stopped McGregor in the 10th round, the first time he has had a real stoppage in almost a decade. McGregor retained his pride with a respectable performance, and Mayweather retired with 50-0 record.",

        "raw_content": "Bell Mountain, Aspen, 1964\nIt\u2019s hard to get anyone to ski with you when you first start carrying a camera, because they think it slows them down, and makes them do things right, which it does.\nDeiter was the only one in the ski school willing to give up his morning coffee break with the other instructors in order to ski the last of the powder on Bell Mountain with me, and have his picture taken doing so, as well.\nAnyone who aspires to be a ski instructor needs to know how to do this, and what it looks like, in order to understand what he or she is trying to teach, and how to realize it on film. Otherwise, he is left in the realm of the \u201cNew School,\u201d with nothing to teach, and nothing to learn. Too easy.\nPosted on October 4, 2011 October 5, 2011 Author Bob ChamberlainCategories Mountain Vision, October 20114 Comments\nNude. Wade Gulch, Lake City, 1994\nAfter walking to the top of this rocky Thirteener, looking, as usual, for skiable terrain, I signed the summit register, for the first time ever. It was partly because I had never seen one before, anywhere, and had no ida that to actually do about it, but I signed the date, ace my name, and appended my affiliation with the \u201cEleventh Mountain Division,\u201d the \u201cDisrespectful Sons of the Tenth,\u201d of Aspen, Colorado.\nThat done, I scrabbled down, over some monstrous scree, to welcome groves of Aspen, bordering the main forest thick green Spruce and Fir. It began to rain, harder, harder and harder, until I was reduced to hunkering down completely under my pancho, waiting for it to pass, or at least let up some. When it didn\u2019t do either one, I had to get up and move anyway, on the forceful advice from the rain-soaked Indian scout in my imagination, and my father in his military presence, as well.\nFinally the rain moved on, and left me facing groves of Aspen, interspersed with small open \u201cparks,\u201d meadows of grass and wildflowers. Navigating from one to the other, I suddenly entered one in which someone had made a campsite. The tent was zippered tight against the rain, and everything looked to be in order except for a lone item hanging from an improvised clothesline, on the opposite side of the clearing. Coming closer revealed it to be an inexplicable item of swimwear, hanging by itself, in the middle of nowhere, with no one in sight. The sensuous shape it had assumed immediately suggested to me that there was some girl running around out here in these woods without her swimsuit! A nude on the loose! In the rain, too! Ahhh, Magic strikes!\nI fiddled around with my Nikon as long as I could, hoping someone would show up with an explanation, but it was not to be. I finally found a path leading out of the clearing, and reluctantly went on my way. I followed the path until it came to a small stream, which, on close inspection, seemed to have an uncanny resemblance, bordering on identity, with a spot on Conundrum Creek where I had photographed many years ago.\nNo sooner had I recoiled from pondering the identity over time and through space of this event of recognition, than, only a few yards more along the trail, I encountered two young girls with backpacks, trailing a small black kitten. Well, of course! Doesn\u2019t everyone? They had just come down from a Fourteener, which one they didn\u2019t say, and yes, the kitten had walked all the way to the summit.\nI recited my experience with the empty swimsuit, and confessed to having made a photograph of it because it looked like a Nude on-the-loose, but they didn\u2019t respond. Well, I joked, the worse that could happen would be that someday they might see the swimsuit hanging on the wall of a gallery somewhere. Still no comment, Oh, well they\u2019re probably too tired to think about any more activity of a physical kind today, anyway!\nCome to think of it, I\u2019ll just limp on down the trail myself.\nPosted on August 2, 2011 September 21, 2011 Author Bob ChamberlainCategories August - September 2011, Mountain Vision2 Comments\nSomebody once said to me, \u201cYou sure do a lot of things you don\u2019t want to do!\u201d Well, I don\u2019t know, last week I had my feet up, cruising on Trout Lake in my little slip of a sailboat, and now I\u2019m looking at a sign pointing out the trail to Hope Lake. Great! That\u2019s me, Hope Lake!\nSo it\u2019s Hope, hope hope, \u201cthe Boys are Marching!\u201d Hope, hope, I hope it\u2019s not too far! I hope, hope hope it\u2019s really worth it! I hope there\u2019s snow, I hope the wildflowers are out around the lake. I hope there\u2019s not a lot of mud from the run-off to slog through, I hope there\u2019s a rock to sit down, so I can put my ski boots on. I hope no one has to see this grizzly knee brace I have to wear. Hope I can hide my shame from the full, bright summer sunlight.\nIt\u2019s okay, Peter is already near the top of the couloir, he won\u2019t see a thing! I hope I can catch up. Catch up, up, up, and wipe the sweat out of our eyes. Hope, hip and a hop, and we\u2019re on the top!\nPeter goes first, so I can shoot a pass-by, my un-favorite type of ski photo.

When you are not allowed to handle the oars, or raise a sail, and your craft is only an inflatable rubber life raft, your mind travels naturally toward something good to eat. At sea, after two weeks and some heavy weather, it\u2019s a crisp salad with plenty of ripe tomatoes you\u2019ll want. But on the river, it may be only a long drink of cool water, and a ham sandwich.

        "raw_content": "The battle of the tiny bots wound up with Ant-Man ahead of the incoming Pixels with respective box offices of $24.7 million and $23.9 million. The session saw two other national debuts with limited punch. Rocky Southpaw slotted in fifth with $16 million and young adult adaptation Paper Towns was right behind at $12.4 million. In limited wide release, The Vatican Tapes exorcised $809,000. In the niches, the record-setting streak of Baahubali continued, adding 50 dubbed Hindi prints and a weekend tally of $670,000 that pushed its cume to $8.3 million. Current Chinese chart-topper Pancake Man had a potent debut of $267,000 from 13 creperies.\nAnt-Man swarmed to the top of session moviegoing with an estimated $57.8 million. And there was a better than anticipated bow for Trainwreck of $30.2 million that landed the comedy third on the chart. And in limited wide release the latest spin on the redoubtable Sherlock, Mr. Holmes, was off to a better-than-elementary start of $2.4 million.\nThey may be pint-sized in every other aspect but Minions are box office gold with a domestic debut estimated at $115.1 million. That left poor seconds for two other national newcomers. The horror entry The Gallows was left hanging with a $9.8 million bow and the sci-fi drama Self/Less had to cope with the latter at $5.4 million.\nDespite new franchise entries, once again Jurassic World and Inside Out led the frame with respective weekend estimates of $30.9 million and $30.2 million. The Independence holiday freshmen followed with Terminator Genisys grossing $28.2 million and Magic Make XXL stripping off $11.8 million. Exclusive newcomers were dominated by the launch of Amy, the controversial documentary on singer Winehouse. It bowed to a potent $241,000 at six sites. There were also OK results for UK import Jimmy\u2019s Hall and the non-fiction Cartel Land.",

        "title": "Olympic Park // MUNICHfound.com",
        "raw_content": "An impressive example of early 1970s architecture\nThink of Munich\u2019s best-known sights, and the Olympic Park will no doubt count among them. The imposing Olympic Tower soars above Munich\u2019s skyline, providing a recognizable landmark for all those who live in or visit the city. Indeed, the sweeping canopy of the Olympic Stadium roof is one of Europe\u2019s most unusual architectural structures.\nThe venue began life in the 1960s, when the city chose Oberwiesenfeld, a desolate, flat region four kilometers away from the city center, as a site for the twentieth Olympic Games to be held in 1972. The Royal Bavarian Army used to exercise on the site, which had also served as Munich\u2019s first passenger airport. Within six years, the Olympic Park was created, at the foot of the 290-meter-high Olympic Tower. The park\u2019s design was meant to fulfill three aims: firstly, the twentieth Olympic Summer Games were supposed to be games of short distances\u2014i.e. various events would be held within close proximity to each other. Secondly, the Olympic facilities in Munich were intended to symbolize democracy and freedom following the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, which were held under the Nazi regime. Thirdly, the Games venue was to be surrounded by greenery.\nThe result was an 850,000-square-meter park with man-made rolling hills, including the Olympic Hill, erected from the debris of World War II, and an artificial lake. Sports facilities were then integrated into the landscape, including the Olympic Stadium, the Olympic Hall and the 50-meter-long Olympic Swimming Pool. There is also an Olympic Ice Sport Center, which opened in 1991. With its 600 seats and 60 x 30 meter ice surface, this is one of the largest ice-skating centers in Europe. In a bid to preserve the green landscape, the buildings were lowered into the ground, so that only a third is visible from the surface.\nThe stadium itself was designed by German architect G\u00fcnther Behnisch. Its tent-like steel roof, made from pylons as high as 80 meters, a web of wire cables and acrylic glass plates was, at the time, considered state of the art. The sweeping and transparent canopy symbolizes the Alps, just an hour\u2019s drive away. The open, light buildings with huge glass walls were also meant to reflect a new, democratic and optimistic Germany as reinforced by the official slogan: \u201cthe happy Games\u201d (die heiteren Spiele).\nHowever, the stadium and its adjoining Olympic Village became infamous for the events that overshadowed the 1972 Games\u2014namely the shooting of Israeli athletes\u2014rather than celebrated as the site of the athletic achievements of competitors such as British sprinter Mary Peters.\nToday the site is the biggest sports park in Europe, attracting around five million visitors each year. Some 160 million people visited the venue since 1972\u2014whether it be to use the extensive sporting facilities, to simply stroll the grounds or to attend one of the several hundred music, sports or commercial events held there every year.\nMost of these events have taken place in the Olympic Stadium, which has a maximum capacity of 75,000 and which was home to soccer club FC Bayern M\u00fcnchen before it relocated to the Allianz Arena in 2005. Perhaps the most notable event in many natives\u2019 minds was the legendary final of the 1974 World Cup, when Germany beat the Netherlands by 2-1.\nThe stadium is also famous in English soccer lore as the site of England\u2019s 5-1 win over Germany in September 2001. Other major events held there have included the 1985 Davis Cup Finals, the UEFA European Cup in 1988 and the 2002 European Athletics Championships.\nSport aside, the park plays host to many open-air concerts by international stars, such as Robbie Williams and the Rolling Stones. Guns \u2019n\u2019 Roses filmed part of their \u201cEstranged\u201d video there when they visited Munich in 1993. There have also been treats for classical music fans, such as a performance of La Traviata. Other well-known personae to have graced the stadium include Pope John Paul II, who held mass there in 1987.\nBut even without a specific occasion, the Olympic Park rarely fails to impress. On a good day, visitors can enjoy superb views of Munich and the Alps from the Olympic Tower\u2019s 190-meter-high viewing platform or while eating a meal in the tower\u2019s revolving restaurant. For a more unusual treat, take a tour along the rooftops of the stadium and abseil down on to the pitch, or take advantage of a range of other behind-the-scenes tours. See www.olympiapark-muenchen.de, under Besucherservice for details.\n\u00a9 MF Hoyal/March 06",

        "raw_content": "The skin is a very important organ that not only helps in temperature regulation but that also protects the body from the external environment. It is the organ that is in direct contact with external factors and pollutants that could do it a lot of harm. Individuals who would like to have beautiful skin and to age gracefully should therefore take great care of their skin.\nHowever, skin care is not a one-time activity that individuals should perform when they notice dryness or even acne on their skin. For great skin, individuals should make skin care a daily routine which they perform without fail. The skin is exposed to so many things throughout the day, and it is important for the individual to properly clean and take care of it so that it can continue to serve them for longer.\nOne of the most important daily routines is cleansing of the skin. Cleansing should be done twice a day with a cleanser that is suitable for one\u2019s skin type. Cleansing should be gentle as the purpose is to remove dirt without irritating the skin. After cleansing, individuals should ensure that they tone the skin. Toning is very important, though most people ignore this very important step. Toning should be done twice a day after cleansing as it removes any cleanser residue as well as helps to balance the pH of the skin.\nMoisturizing should never be ignored after this cleansing and toning routine. This is because some of the oils are usually removed during cleansing, and moisturizing will ensure that the skin does not dry out. It will prevent any moisture or nutrients loss from the skin as well as prevent the skin from being damaged by environmental factors. There is usually a different type of moisturizer for the day and a different one for the night.\nApart from the daily cleansing routines, individuals should invest in a good facial mask and facial scrub. These are applied once a week on the skin in an effort to remove dead skin cells. The mask and scrub are perfect for deep cleansing and they ensure that the skin is free from toxins. However, one should ensure that they do not over-exfoliate as this could do more harm than good.\nFor the best results, individuals should also ensure that their diet is nutritious as this plays a major role in proper skin care. They should drink at least eight glasses of water a day, and they should also eat foods rich in vitamins such as fruits and leafy vegetables. They should also exercise regularly and avoid smoking as this bad habit also damages the skin. Individuals who have oily skin should stay away from fatty foods and junk food as this will aggravate the situation. Also, individuals should invest in a good sunscreen which they must apply each time they go out in the sun. This is because the sun can damage the skin and cause sunburns as well as other skin problems.\nTaking care of the skin may seem like a tedious task but the individual can be sure that it is worth it. This is because the few minutes that they spend each day on their skin will help to ensure that their skin remains youthful and beautiful for longer.",

        "title": "my cozy book nook: February 2011",
        "raw_content": "An Imposter?\nWell, last week I didn't post to the blog at all. This week I didn't read a single blog from my Google Reader list of over 300. I feel as though I am a liar if I claim myself to be a book blogger and I don't read, review, or even blog about life.\nWhile I could make up excuses that it has been a difficult and busy two weeks, the truth of the matter is that I just didn't feel like it.\nMom was indeed placed in hospice care and it has been an interesting time of orchestrating all the care givers and medicine schedules. I am delighted to say that her hospice nurse is a lovely woman who gives Mom all the time and care that she needs. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Mom has seemed to stabilize now and is doing fairly well....considering.\nWe have had non-stop visitors for the past two weeks as well. My aunt from Houston came in for three days last week, my son came in Thursday for a long weekend, and my other aunt flew in and out yesterday. It is a good thing that my lesson plans were caught up and I did not have much grading to do during this time period. I have one more relatively \"easy\" week at school and then the week before spring break will be a mad dash to complete all assessments for the quarter.\nI had an epiphany this week. Well, probably not a true epiphany, but I actually experienced what I knew to be true. The first eye-opener is that not all classes are equal. I can teach the same material - the same year - the same way - to two different classes and receive completely different results. Case in point: the 9th graders are reading To Kill a Mockingbird. In years past I have conducted a mock trial after we finish reading chapter 21. There have been times when this activity has been a highlight of the year - and times when this activity has fallen flat. This year I have two English 1 classes: one is a class of eight students, 7 of which are boys. The other class is a class of twelve students, evenly split boys and girls. The class of eight has two \"high level\" learners, while the class of twelve has at least eight \"high level\" learners.\nThe trial in the first class was mediocre at best. While all students managed to bring their scripts, only two were in \"costume\" and few had truly rehearsed the lines to the point of performance. At the end of the class period I felt as though I had wasted precious class time with this activity.\nThe second class was the direct opposite. While everyone had a script, all but two had fully rehearsed the lines - almost to the point of memorization. The enactment was filled with proper intonation and emotional acting. Again, all but two had a costume, some quite elaborate complete with wigs and mustaches. Students knew entrances and exits and it was a pleasure to watch this classic scene enacted by such talented individuals.\nI anticipate class discussions on Monday to be different as well. I fully expect that the second class will want to delve deep into the injustice that occurred in this court of law. I expect them to dissect Atticus's closing argument as a piece of literature worthy of study in a high school government class. I expect them to be emotionally charged when we discuss Jem's reaction to the verdict. I am not so confident that the other class will have much to say. And I feel sorry for them. Yes, the study of lines and creating a costume was extra work - but the dividends were so much greater. For this second class, the mock trial will be a fond memory of their high school career. I just hope that the other class fondly remembers the lessons that Atticus teaches us -- even today.\nIt is nearly the end of the second month of the year and I think it is a good time to review all those New Year's resolutions that I named on January first. While I have abandoned some and postponed others, I have managed to keep two going strong to the point that I think they have become good daily habits.\nIf I had to sum up the extent of these resolutions, I think they were all developed to help me create a more balanced life in 2011. I wanted to relax more; I wanted to be in better shape; and I wanted to deepen my spiritual relationship. While I have a long way to go in finding that perfect balance, I have managed to develop a morning \"sit up\" routine to strengthen my core abdominal muscles and I have maintained daily devotions for eight full weeks.\nI discovered a daily Bible reading program that works well for me: a different section of the Bible each day so that I do not become bogged down in the 'begats' or 'thou shalt nots' that have always plagued me before. I have also discovered that blogging is the perfect way for me to personalize the scripture. In the past I would try to journal, but my hand would always ache and I would become discouraged before the end of the second week. Blogging is quick and easy - and it is a way for me to look back and review my spiritual walk if I so desire. While I doubt that any of you would be interested in reading these personal dribbles, I have set up a separate blog to record these thoughts.\nThe exercise routine will be increased in mid-March (that is, if the weather cooperates during Spring break) to include what I hope is a manageable cardiovascular routine. I timed the route and it is exactly 1.1 miles to the nearest Starbucks. My plan is to walk to Starbucks, carrying my netbook computer in a backpack - spend a half hour or so sipping a beverage at Starbucks and writing (yes - that is another resolution that has fallen by the wayside) - and then walk home. This will hopefully provide 8-10 miles of walking per week (maybe more) and about 4-5 hours of writing. I will be becoming more physically fit - taking care of my heart (which apparently is genetically prone to health concerns) - and relaxing in an environment that is conducive to my academic pursuits. That is at least the game plan.\nYes, I do continue to read for about twenty minutes before bed, but that does not allow me to finish many books. I have almost completed The Second Journey and have enjoyed this one as much as the other Joan Anderson books that I have read. In this book she speaks a lot about her ailing mother and how she balances those responsibilities with her own personal needs. It is exactly what this woman of the sandwich generation needed to hear.\nI have skimmed through several books on quilting - but have decided that with this particular craft, I just need to delve in and experience it for myself. I plan to start a Hanky Panky quilt - but only in a 2x2 size -- big enough for a Bitty Baby and not overwhelming for me.\nI still plan to read Jane Eyre over the next couple of weeks in anticipation of the release of the movie in March. I went to see The King's Speech last night (for the second time) - and the previews for Jane Eyre look wonderful. I think I might be able to coerce a few students to see it with me as an extra curricular school activity.\nWell, that is what is happening in my neck of the woods. Not too much in the book blogging arena I am afraid, but I have not given up on returning to that passion in the not-too-near future. Please bear with me.\nI hope that all of you have a most pleasant week - and that March chooses to come in as a lamb rather than lion. I, for one, am quite tired of this wild, wacky, weather.\nWe are finally beginning to thaw from the Blizzard 2011. It was 45 degrees and sunny on Saturday and it had been so long since we had experienced temperatures above freezing that it felt like a summer holiday. While I wasn't quite as radical as some who wore shorts and flip flops in the slush, I did shed my coat and enjoy the warmth of the bright sunshine. We are actually supposed to hit 60 degrees on Wednesday - a far cry from the -15 degrees we suffered a week ago.\nWhile I enjoy teaching all my classes and each student is indeed a unique pleasure, every once in a while I am fortunate enough to have a class that is so extraordinarily special that I instinctively know I am blessed with a class that I will remember always. Such was the case with the first class I ever taught: 6th grade in 2001; and then again my Brit Lit class in 2007; and finally this year's English Comp class.\nI was both thrilled and anxious to begin teaching this college level class. I have always joked that I prepare all my students - even those 6th graders - for college rather than the next subsequent grade - but I really didn't know if I had the ability to truly teach a college course. Some of these students are truly gifted and while I was sure that I could learn from them, I wasn't quite so sure that they could learn from me. Now that we are nearly half way through the second semester I can honestly say that this has been a truly synergistic class and I will miss each of the students greatly when they graduate at the end of May. We have all gelled so well that at this point we look forward to seeing one another twice a week. We can all begin to recognize one another's writing because of the unique voice and because of that, we know one another's strengths and weaknesses. It is a class that truly cares about one another - and takes responsibility for each other's successes.\nOn Thursday we decided to hold class at a local coffee shop. We are in the midst of group edits where each student reads aloud their essay and the rest of the class offers useful comments. Every single student arrived to this off-site location on time - and the majority of them stayed about twenty minutes after class time was over. They remained focused - despite the constant comings and goings of other patrons, and they voiced a desire to do this again. What an absolute pleasure to teach those who want to learn and how truly blessed I am to have this awesome opportunity.\nDue to Mom's continued health issues (see below) personal reading has once again taken a back seat this week. As I sit here and stare at my library pile - I am apparently hungry for non-fiction material. I continue to read a little bit each week of The Happiness Project and The Gifts of Imperfection and many of the library acquisitions are a result of that reading.\nThe Heroine's Bookshelf: Life lessons from Jane Austen to Laura Ingalls Wilder by Erin Blakemore - this book has been reviewed on several bloggers' sites over the past couple of weeks and I was thrilled that my library had a copy for me so quickly.\nThe Second Journey: The Road Back to Yourself by Joan Anderson. This books was recommended to me by my sister-in-law because I absolutely adored this author's previous books, most notably, A Year by the Sea.\nExcellent Woman by Barbara Pym (fiction). After reading JoAnn's glowing review of this novel, I absolutely had to reserve a copy for myself. I am unfamiliar with this author, but I hope that I have the opportunity to try her for myself some day soon.\nThe Collected Poems of Wendell Berry. I was inspired to select this book for a number of reasons: Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit is hosting a poetry challenge that IF I were participating in challenges this year would certainly be at the top of my list; Carrie at Books and Movies is hosting the Wendell Berry challenge which has been showcased by several of my favorite bloggers; and Liz, my sister-in-law couldn't praise this author enough (a rather convincing recommendation coming from a librarian).\nThe Soul of Money by Lynne Twist mentioned in Brene Brown's Gifts of Imperfection. She quoted a passage from the book on scarcity thinking that described me to a T. I thought I might see if this author had any other insights into my own soul.\nHappier: Learn the Secrets to Daily Joy and Lasting Fulfillment by Tal Ben-Shahar. Another book mentioned by Brene and one that I thought might marry well with the Happiness Project.\nOn Becoming an Artist: Reinventing Yourself Through Mindful Creativity by Ellen J. Langer I honestly do not remember where I heard of this author/book, but the title is very intriguing to me.\nFinding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You were Meant to Live by Martha Beck. Actually Liz recommended another book by this author, the Joy Diet, but after doing a bit of research, I thought that perhaps this book might be a better choice for me right now.\nQuilting for the First Time by Donna Kooler. Well, I don't sew a button on a shirt, but lately I have been drawn to the timeless tradition of quilting. I LOVE the colors and, somewhat surprisingly, the mathematical calculations involved in piecing together a quilt. I am afraid that my perfectionism will get in the way of my enjoyment of this hobby as a relaxed method of artistic expression, but I definitely plan to give it a try.\nLast but not least....my personal life this week has focused on my mom. Without going into great detail, she was released from the hospital to hospice care on Tuesday. She is currently off all meds except for those that can keep her comfortable, and she is rather tired and weary from it all.\nI think my library book list reflects this journey that I have traveled with Mom these last few weeks. I think I am perhaps trying to learn how to live life more fully by watching my mom die. I have focused so much on doing a good job (whatever job I may be doing at the time: teaching, parenting, etc) and I have poured so much energy into other priorities that I have forgotten - or ignored - Molly.\nI am realizing that the old adage is true: life really is too short to spend time on the insignificant. My problem has been, however, that I have confused significant with urgent. Being creative and having fun has always taken a back seat to the more serious aspects of life like earning a living and being responsible for others. I think it is time for the pendulum to swing the other way and for me to learn to prioritize some fun in my life. I think I am afraid, however, that once I start to have fun that I won't want to stop - and all responsibility will go out the window. I suppose I will have to learn to trust myself that won't happen.\nLabels: Library Loot, Personal, Sunday Salon\nWell, here we are, Super Bowl Sunday 2011. For some reason I always anticipate spring to be just around the corner when the football season comes to an end, but that is never the case. We have thawed a bit from Blizzard 2011 but they are predicting a dusting of snow tonight and another storm to move into the area on Tuesday. I fear that the balmy breezes of warmer weather are a minimum of six weeks away, no matter what the groundhog's shadow predicted.\nI have spent most of my personal time this week focused on my mom. She was rushed to the hospital on Monday morning because she had gained seven pounds overnight! Apparently eating one slice of bacon on Sunday morning caused her congestive heart failure to wreak havoc with her body. On Tuesday I was told IF she pulled through, we would have to consider a very strict, low sodium diet for her (she was always restricted to the 'cardboard\" food as she called it -- which is why she ate the bacon in the first place: to have a bit of flavor). On Wednesday, she had a blood transfusion because they determined her current blood thinner medication was having an adverse effect on her body. On Thursday she was told that her hemoglobin numbers had improved, but her heart is definitely weaker. Her doctor informed us that another episode like the three we have experienced since Christmas and hospice will most likely be our next step.\nHard words for Mom to hear - but I am embarrassed to confess that it is a relief for me. I have lost track of the number of hospital stays Mom has had these past twelve months, but I am sure that it has been double digits. Each stay takes just a little bit more out of me. The emotional roller coaster of making unpleasant decisions, the wondering of what the future will hold, the constant attempt at being positive around her is taking its toll. But perhaps this new diet and these new meds will help her to maintain a certain level of health for longer than a couple of weeks.\nI think I have mentioned here at least once that I am constantly revamping my lesson plans. I research online to find different ways of teaching the same topic and I am not afraid to experiment (truth be told I don't know if I do this more to help the students learn the material - or more to help me from becoming bored). Sometimes the experiments work well and bear repeating another year, other times the experiments do not yield the expected results and I abandon them completely. Thus was the fate of this week's trial and error.\nSince our school is a University Model School and most students only attend Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, to miss one of those days for a snow day can truly put a kink in the scope and sequence. The principal advised us to post \"snow day\" assignments online so that students would not fall too far behind. That might work well for some classes like math or science where students can read the text and attempt the problems (with an answer key in the back of the book to double check answers) but since my classes tend to be discussion based rather than textbook driven, it is not always easy for me to assign more.\nHowever, in all my classes but one I had a paper due on Wednesday. My thought was to have students email me the papers (which would keep them on task) and I could grade them during the snow days rather than over the weekend. Great in theory --- lousy in practice.\nFirst of all, the majority of the students turned the papers in on time, but I would say about 15% failed to do so. I then had to send separate emails to the parents to remind the students about this arrangement. A time consuming task.\nI had originally thought that I could grade the papers online and then return to the student electronically - thus saving lots of paper and perhaps developing a more streamlined system for grading papers in the future. Boy was I wrong! It took me about three times longer to grade the papers online (I tend to make LOTS of comments --- which I am trying to curtail -- and grammatical corrections do not lend themselves to a quick and easy electronic format). It took me only two papers graded this way to realize this was not going to work.\nI then had to print off each student's paper - make sure that names were on each paper (of course they assumed that by sending in an email it would be obvious who wrote the paper) - grade the papers, and then input the grades. I spent about 16 hours over the two snow days taking care of this. I was NOT a happy camper.\nSo, note to self - in the future do not create more work for yourself - but rather, allow students the extra time to complete the assignment and perhaps assign a bit of outside reading and an oral report to complete on the unexpected day off.\nBetween Mom - blizzard - and the snow day grading fiasco - I am afraid that reading was placed on the far back burner. I did manage to read one more chapter in Little Women, and I quickly read the graphic novella that has swept the blogosphere, The Night Bookmobile by Audrey Niffenegger. I must say that I loved the premise of the book: a young woman discovers a mysterious library on wheels that only contains all the books she has ever read in her life. How fascinating it would be to have a visual representation of my own reading life. Much like Proust's madeleine cookie, just looking at the original binding and yellowed pages would immediately bring back such vivid memories. I lingered over each of the beautiful illustrations that showcased her reading collection. I tried to catch a glimpse of each of the titles, wondering if I had read the book myself, or even more, if I could find a book that I would like to read now. I would not hesitate to go back and re-read these pages again and again. However, I was not at all pleased with the ending of the book. I did like the fact that she was able to become a bookmobile librarian in her own right - I just did not like the way in which that dream actually came true. For that reason alone I would probably rate the book 3.5 out of 5.\nI also managed to start reading Howard's End is on the Landing by Susan Hill. I think I have waited for this book to arrive at my local library since October - I kid you not - and so far I would say that it was well worth the wait. The chapters are fairly short, which makes it the perfect book to keep on the nightstand - and the insight into her own reading life I find fascinating. I have found several quotes worth remembering and I hope to write a full-fledged review (my first in how long?!) sometime soon.\nLastly, I treated myself to a Half Price Bookstore excursion. I had received an email for 20% off an entire purchase this weekend, and well, I thought I deserved it after this week. I decided to begin the collection of the Harry Potter audio books. I have just fallen in love with Jim Dale's voice - and I think this is a purchase that I will enjoy for year's to come. I purchased the first three books and hope to start listening to them (again) as soon as I begin my exercise routine (which was supposed to start in January but at this point, is being postponed until Spring break). So far I have listened to the first book twice, the second book once, and I have managed to listen to about half of the third. I have no idea what happens in books 4-7 --- but I am confident that I will indeed complete this assignment at some point in time.\nI hope you all have a celebratory Super Bowl and a stress free week ahead.\nWordless Wednesday: Blizzard 2011\nAt times we experienced near white-out conditions\nPoor Ralfie - snow up to his knees!\nUnofficial tally on our driveway: 14 inches!!\nToday is snow day #4 for our area! I had students email me papers so that I could accomplish some grading on this \"day off\" --- otherwise I would be grading all weekend.\nI know many of you experienced this massive storm as well --- Snowpocalypse is among the many nicknames I have heard. Stay safe and warm!",

        "title": "Where to Eat and Play in Nashville Where to Eat and Play in Nashville",
        "raw_content": "Nashville is a city with lots to see and do. Here\u2019s a list of places to eat and play when you\u2019re in the city of Nashville.\nNashville\u2019s not the biggest city in the nation\u2026the state capitol of Tennessee had a population of 684,410 as of 2016. But it\u2019s got one of the biggest entertainment streets you\u2019ll find anywhere. Broadway, specifically lower Broadway, has a HUGE assortment of bars/clubs, boot shops and souvenir shops. At all hours of the night and day you\u2019ll hear bands playing music of all sorts. Mostly country and honky tonk, but occasionally you\u2019ll hear some top 40 coming from the singers.\nWe recently went to Nashville to hang out and see what all the talk was about, regarding Nashville, and boy did we have a good time. Not only did we have a great time, but we had some amazing food as well. I thought I would share some of our trip with you so you can tuck these places into your travel book when you visit.\nFirst stop for us was the Hermitage (Andrew Jackson\u2019s house). It was a pretty hot day, but thankfully overcast so we didn\u2019t completely roast. We visited the house and toured the museum and spent about 90 minutes there. It\u2019s on the way from the airport to downtown Nashville so we thought we should probably make a visit. It was fine. Nothing earth shattering. Then it was on to lunch.\nOur first encounter with Nashville food was fantastic! We stopped at a place called Tavern. On the weekends, be prepared for a little wait, but seating is available both inside and out. There\u2019s free valet, but if you don\u2019t want to wait there\u2019s a pay parking lot (that\u2019s not too expensive) right next door. Just make sure you put your paid parking receipt on your dash or you\u2019ll get a ticket. As Craig learned when we were done with brunch.\nOn Saturday and Sunday afternoons you can get brunch from Tavern. I got a house made white sangria and a turkey BLT. I had to get the BLT because 1 \u2013 it was on pretzel bread\u2026which I love, and 2 \u2013 it\u2019s tomato season and I knew the tomatoes on that sandwich were going to be devine\u2026AND.THEY.WERE. Of course there was bacon too. Craig got the pain perdu and a cucumber Mary (which is made with cucumber infused vodka). As a side, he got the white trash hash which is made up of tator tots and cheese and is so so good. The day we were there we got a wooden coin for 2 for 1 which gave us two cocktails for the price of one. I don\u2019t know if they do that all the time. They definitely do it on Thursdays from 2-10pm.\nThankfully, I made later dinner reservations for that night. Every once in a while I make a half way smart decision. I knew we\u2019d be eating lunch later, so I booked us a later dinner at The Treehouse. This little restaurant is outside of downtown right by a residential area. In fact, we had to park and walk to the restaurant because the neighborhood was having a huge block party the weekend we were in town. I only wish we had gotten there earlier to take part in the block party\u2026it looked like fun. Even with the late reservation (and I recommend you have a reservation as this place isn\u2019t huge and it\u2019s very popular), I still wasn\u2019t very hungry. So I opted for the yellowtail ceviche and it was delicious. It was topped with shaved cantaloupe, serrano chiles and marigold petals.\nCraig opted for the braised fairytale eggplant, which totally surprised me since he usually gravitates toward meat. But I think he was still pretty full from lunch too. The eggplant was cooked in such a way that you really felt like you were eating a piece of meat and not eggplant. It was delicious. We split a dessert then it was time to hit the bars of Nashville.\nWe wandered up and down Broadway popping our heads into different places and trying to decide on where to go. It\u2019s not an easy choice when there are so many great places to choose from. The other thing about the bars in Nashville is that many of them have multiple floors with different entertainment on each floor.\nOn a friends recommendation, we went into the Famous Saloon honky tonk. This place has four floors of music. Thurs through Sunday they\u2019ve got a DJ on the roof that plays current music so we managed to find two great seats on the perimeter of the floor, got ourselves a drink and settled in for a night of beautiful views of the city, a little dancing and some serious people watching. The music was great (I know\u2026it wasn\u2019t country or honky tonk music) and it was good first day.\nThe next day we slept in late and got ready to go to brunch at Husk, Nashville. Husk has gained fame for its Southern dishes served at its Charleston location, but opened in a historical house in Nashville recently. It\u2019s located just south of downtown and we could walk there from our hotel. Of course it was a hot and steamy day and the walk was all uphill to get there. But so worth it.\nSeveral glasses of water and a blueberry lemonade helped me to cool down and settle in. Breakfast was the country breakfast platter complete with hash browns, sausage, scrambled eggs, a lightly roasted tomato, some cinnamon apples and sausage gravy over biscuits. I was in heaven. I only wish I could have eaten the whole thing. True to their word \u201cif it doesn\u2019t come from the South it\u2019s not coming through the door,\u201d there\u2019s a sign in the waiting area that tells you where they get the ingredients that they\u2019re cooking with on that day.\nAfter brunch we were off to the Nashville farmer\u2019s market.\nThe farmer\u2019s market is open every day. But there are a few more vendors there on the weekends. Just look at those gorgeous tomatoes. I was trying to figure out a way I could bring all those back to Dallas. But I only brought back two. And they were amazing! There\u2019s also a part of the farmer\u2019s market that\u2019s a permanent building. Inside is a coffee shop, ice cream parlor and lots of different restaurants. On the far end of the market is a nursery with a startling array of plants. It\u2019s really pretty to take a walk through even if you\u2019re not buying any plants that day.\nNext to the market is a big park. So you can get your food at the market and sit on a bench in the park and eat it. The day we were there a group was playing baseball in old timey uniforms without gloves. It was pretty fun to watch it for a little bit.\nThat night we had dinner at Rolf and Daughters. Philip Krajeck is behind this restaurant and he\u2019s a multiple Beard award nominee. The menu is chock full of local and fresh ingredients. There are lots of starters to choose from like heirloom tomato, fresh cheese, lemon thyme and seaweed or Cylindra beet, cashew tzatziki and crunchy seeds. Both of these are delicious. The menu also includes protein dishes and homemade pasta dishes. Craig got the bucatini, heirloom tomatoes, basil and sarvecchio while I got the sweet corn agnolotti, jalapeno and lime. The little pasta pillows were filled with a liquid corn that tasted like the sweetest sweet corn you\u2019ve ever eaten. While this restaurant is just outside of downtown, make sure that you make reservations because it\u2019s packed all the time. In fact, our reservations were at 8:45 on a Sunday and it was busy.\nBack to Broadway and the honky tonks we went. We just spent the night going in and out of different bars listening to country music, honky tonk and some current songs.\nOur last day in Nashville involved getting bbq for breakfast. We walked over to Martin\u2019s BBQ Joint to check out the Nashville bbq scene and we weren\u2019t disappointed. Craig got a mix of several different things and I got their famous Redneck Taco. The Redneck Taco is pulled pork and coleslaw piled on top of a hoe cake. A hoe cake is like a really simple cornbread. It\u2019s made with corn meal, water and salt and is fried up like a pancake. I see why Martin\u2019s is famous for it\u2026it was really good.\nIt rained on our last day in Nashville so we kept pretty close to the hotel and our car. We knew we had to hit up Tootsies Orchid Lounge. We walked in and marveled at all the pictures of famous country people that were on the wall. Tootsies still brings in the big names. They don\u2019t really book them, they just kind of wander in sometimes and play a set. A lot of history is held in those purple walls. We hung out for a while on each of the floors taking in the music and finally ended up on the roof. Until it started pouring.\nOur final stop, before heading to the airport, was Hattie B\u2019s Hot Chicken. Hot chicken is a \u201cthing\u201d in Nashville and it really shouldn\u2019t be missed. You pick your chicken, white or dark meat, then pick one of six heat levels. They range from Southern (no heat) to Shut the Cluck Up (burn notice). I got the mild but could have done the medium (somehow I ended up with a medium level chicken tender with my mild dark chicken). Craig got the hot, and while it was good for him, he said that was his max. Hattie B\u2019s also serves up delicious desserts. We had to get the peach cobbler, which is made with fresh peaches and is a seasonal dessert. But they\u2019ve also got a banana pudding I heard the next table over raving about.\nIf you\u2019re heading to Nashville, be prepared to have lots of fun and lots of great things to eat. Oh, and you might want to take some earplugs, the music is loud and sometimes the spaces are small.\nWe have some friends who just got back from Nashville, and they had a hoot! Sounds like you did, too. Been years since I\u2019ve been there \u2014 gotta go again! \ud83d\ude42 Fun read \u2014 thanks.\nYou definitely need to go back John. There\u2019s a few new bars, but the food scene has changed drastically lately.",

        "raw_content": "Happiness is itself a kind of gratitude. ~ Joseph Wood Krutch\nI had the pleasure this weekend of cooking breakfast at the restaurant for a dear elderly couple. Friday morning, I answered a number of questions for the woman about what we offered for breakfast, what I could cook for her and her husband, and where she could find various items at the buffet. She was so pleasant and appreciative, but she apologized nonetheless, \"I'm sorry. My husband isn't well, and we just need to be careful about what he eats.\" She would find another potential breakfast item for him and walk back to their table where he was waiting and report her findings, then come back to the buffet and either add it to his plate or return to their table to ask him about something else.\n\"They have scrambled eggs,\" she could be heard telling him. \"How about some scrambled eggs and an English muffin?\" She made the trip back and forth from the table and buffet-area a few times before they decided on his breakfast, and I talked with her while she arranged his plate. She and her husband were in the city for his appointment at the cancer center, she told me. She hoped the center wouldn't be too hard to find, since they had arrived in the very early morning in the dark and during an ice storm. I explained where the center was--right down the street--and wished her and her husband well.\nYesterday morning, the woman and her husband were back in the restaurant, and this time, the husband was well-enough to visit the buffet-area and fix his own plate. The fact that he reminded me so much of Mike's dad made seeing him walking around on his own even sweeter. He, like his wife, was such a pleasure to talk with and help, and when I told him that I could make pancakes, French toast, or waffles if he didn't feel like eggs again, he smiled and said, \"Oh, a waffle sounds good! I don't know if I could eat a whole waffle, though.\" I explained that I could make him a tiny waffle, or a couple tiny waffles, and he turned to his wife and exclaimed, \"We should get waffles, then! This is a celebration, after all!\" I told him I'd bring the waffles out to him, and as he made his way back to the table, I smiled and said to his wife, \"I take it his appointment went well yesterday, since you're celebrating?\"\n\"He's terminal,\" the woman quietly explained. \"We come here for his chemotherapy so we can buy him some time and get our affairs in order. But yes, it did go well yesterday.\" We talked a few minutes more as she got her own breakfast, and I felt close to tears as I listened to her. I told her I'd keep her and her husband in my prayers, and my mind was filled with thoughts of Mike and his parents and marriage and commitment and love as I made the silver dollar-size waffles.\nI arranged a couple of the tiny waffles with still-smaller bowls of maple syrup, strawberry topping, and butter and margarine pats and took them out to the couple. The husband laughed in delight at the presentation and thanked me so kindly, and about an hour later when he and his wife got up to leave, he stopped me as I walked by and said again, \"Thank you very much for that. That was really something, really very nice.\" I thanked them too and wished them well, and my choked-up feeling stayed with me quite awhile back at my cook-station. People are always so much stronger than they think they are, and I have lived through enough broken hearts to understand that life goes on, but there is such sweet wisdom in knowing what that couple knows and still celebrating with waffles.\nLabels: all around town, everyday magic, I believe, inspiration, kindness, live and learn, love and loss, Mr. Mike, my in-laws, on the job, tables and meals, Valentine's Day",

        "title": "The Great Testing (or Why Martial Arts is Harder than Grad School) \u2013 Neliza Drew",
        "raw_content": "Posted on March 28, 2014 by nelizadrew\tPosted in Life & SuchTagged anxiety, crazy lady, education, grad school, gung fu, karate, kempo, martial arts, mma, other rambling nonsense, performance, silence, social science, STEM, test, theory, things and stuff, women, yelling\n(Note, this is not about Joelle Charbonneau\u2019s terrific YA book The Testing, but it\u2019s good, so if you\u2019re into Hunger Games and Divergent and The Giver and that general idea of kids in a world turned dangerous by the downfall of our current social-media-based society, you should go read it.)\nTomorrow is the first black belt test at my dojo. As one of the earlier students, (I might be the longest-running adult student by a month or two), I\u2019m proud of the school and my Sensei and the other candidates, all of whom reached brown belt before I did, even if just by a few weeks. It\u2019s been almost two and a half years. I\u2019m a slow learner when it comes to this sort of thing, physical things. The guy who showed up a few months after me got to brown belt several months ahead of me. It\u2019s not a race, but he definitely has not only an inherent talent and athleticism I envy, but he lacks a lot of the other life obligations that kept me from practicing as much as he did, too. (I don\u2019t so much envy that. It sounds kind of lonely and I\u2019m glad he has his dojo family for support.)\nI\u2019ve never been much for announcing my future tests and hurdles. Not the real ones anyway. I don\u2019t think I told anyone but the husband about the big essay test I had to take in lieu of the thesis (that fell apart due to a lack of quality data) to get my master\u2019s degree. Not until after it was done, I\u2019d passed, and it was over. And the master\u2019s degree was honestly easier, to me, than getting to brown belt \u2014 never mind whatever happens tomorrow. (I\u2019m sure my athletic dojo buddy would disagree since reading a stack of criminology theory books, a bazillion articles about restorative justice and the school-to-prison pipeline, social justice, and advanced statistics for the social sciences doesn\u2019t really seem like his thing.)\nBut that\u2019s the thing. There\u2019s this theory that women who grew up being praised for high achievement that comes from \u201ctalent\u201d (as opposed to trying hard or practicing) tend to shy away from things that are challenging, things they might get less-than-perfect scores in. This is held up an excuse or explanation (frankly, I prefer explanation over excuse because I find \u201cexcuse\u201d fraught with judgement, but I\u2019m nuts, so\u2026) as to why so many young women opt out of STEM classes and majors. I don\u2019t know how much truth is in that theory. It\u2019s a theory of human behavior, which is held to less rigorous standards than theories in the \u201chard sciences.\u201d Theories of human behavior are based on aggregated data, but acknowledge exceptions at both ends of their own bell curves, along with the myriad of possibilities they couldn\u2019t or didn\u2019t test. Scientific theories are essentially truths as we know them, tested and retested until the majority of scientists believe it, baring some undiscovered thing that negates the theory.\nCertainly, I was one of those little girls who was praised for the things I did well, that I had a natural aptitude for, that I got straight As in. And as a lazy little human, I tended to drift toward the things I was good at. I liked gymnastics until I got tossed out for being too tall being the only one they had to adjust all the equipment for. Being too tall would have held me back from progressing too far, so there\u2019s that. No amount of practice would make me shorter. A lot more practice might have made me a better dancer when my parents signed me up for that. Instead, I felt like a dog on the first day of obedience training. People wanted me to do things, but I couldn\u2019t figure out what. There was yelling and hand gestures and miming and none of it made any sense. I didn\u2019t want to be there. I didn\u2019t want to be a dancer. (Most of them are short, too; makes them easier to toss around.) I kind of wanted to do karate, but little girls back then didn\u2019t do that and, to be fair, I\u2019d have probably quit that, too, at the time because I lacked coordination for almost anything but hanging upside down like a bat and dropping.\nI did take a lot of science classes in high school, possibly because by then my form of teen rebellion involved sleeping through classes \u2014 hard and easy \u2014 so I had a reason my grades were average (or slightly above, but usually by accident). If you\u2019re pushing back against the perfectionism of your AP class peers (even if you\u2019re not totally aware that\u2019s what you\u2019re doing), you\u2019re not likely to give a shit if your science and math grades aren\u2019t all 100s. By not attempting perfection, and by mostly sleeping, though, I silenced myself as effectively as the other students did by deciding I was unpopular. I could actually go whole days at school without saying anything, unless I muttered to myself.\nWomen often find themselves in spaces were they are silenced, either overtly or subversively. And, even if one doesn\u2019t \u201cbuy in\u201d consciously, it becomes a learned behavior. In companies, offices, and other workplaces, there\u2019s often a hierarchy of women who are allowed to speak or speak out and there are numerous unwritten rules about what they\u2019re allowed to say and when. Maybe because I slept through that period of school when you\u2019re supposed to learn all these social cues or maybe because I didn\u2019t have enough friends to teach me or maybe because I was rebelling against my mother\u2019s perceived silence, I had a bad habit of breaking all those little taboos. I\u2019d point out illogical strategies and offer suggestions and ask too many questions. And I\u2019d inevitably be deemed least-likely-to-advance-beyond-smallest-cubicle.\nEducation, further taught me that no one wants my opinions, thoughts, research, or ideas. No one wants facts or data that isn\u2019t supplied by testing companies and the DOE. No one wants creative thinking even if they ask for it constantly. They want all \u201cout-of-the-box\u201d thinking done in a smaller box next to the big one. Even my friends over the years, have implored me to \u201cjust shut up,\u201d \u201cdon\u2019t say anything,\u201d \u201cbe quiet and pretend they\u2019re right,\u201d and \u201cjust play along.\u201d And I still suck at it, but the more I tried to be silent, the worse I felt about myself.\nWhat the hell does all that have to do with martial arts?\nWell, I took up \u201ckarate\u201d at the ripe old age of 35. Most of the women my age who show up there are dropping or or picking up their kids. (Karate\u2019s in quotes because the particular style I ended up finding and liking isn\u2019t just \u201ckarate\u201d but that seems to be American shorthand for \u201cmartial arts.\u201d) It was something I\u2019d wanted to do and I found a school and a style that I liked. (It\u2019s a blend of Kempo Karate and Gung Fu, so it merges the hard and the soft and it shares lineage with Bruce Lee\u2019s Jeet Kune Do.) I found people who, so far, accept my eccentricities. And my questions get answers. (Still trying to find the will to scream and shout things when punching and kicking. Seems all those years of attempted silence mostly affected the little kid in me who thought screaming was the MOST FUNNEST THING EVER!)\nI have some doubts about my ability to do this. (Apparently my \u201cbitchy resting face\u201d isn\u2019t aggressive enough, so I need to work on a \u201cangry beaver face\u201d or something before tomorrow.) I\u2019m the oldest of the candidates by five years. And he\u2019s ten years older than the next oldest. Of the three adults, I\u2019m the lightest. Good for being thrown. Harder to do the throwing. I have to be twice as fast and twice as flexible to overcome the lack of bulk-derived power. Reminding myself to yell when executing moves means I have fewer brain cells left to remember the damn move.\nAnd I\u2019ve developed some sort of performance anxiety that\u2019s related to the public, physical aspects of it. Write thirty pages of essays on criminology in the comfort of your home office? Sure. Stand in front of a group of people and perform complicated hand gestures. AGH! *freezes, cries, scratches arm off* I\u2019ve always hated public speaking. High school drama class, college public speaking class, and eight years of teaching didn\u2019t do anything to assuage that. Weird, but true. Plus, that old pre-school perfectionism has reared its ugly little head. I find if I can\u2019t remember the precise sequence of things, I tend to freeze and do nothing\u2013on tests or when being watched. When practicing, I have no problem with just doing some random thing that seems to work and then acknowledging that I fucked it up.\nMake angry face\nDO Something even if it\u2019s wrong\nTry to do the not wrong thing\nI\u2019m pretty sure there will be crying. Either way the test goes, I\u2019m pretty sure there will be crying. (It\u2019s the easiest way to put a release valve on all this anxiety, plus I might be a little PMSy if my math is right.) There you go. That\u2019s my \u201cscary face.\u201d Weakness, please. Nothing scarier than a screaming, crying, angry woman with ninja weapons.\nAlso, if the idea of \u201cninja weapons\u201d excites you, you should read this while I freak out. And I think if I\u2019m still a brown belt on Sunday, I might actually be more okay with it than my Sensei, who seems to think I\u2019m prepared enough to put me in front of the 10th degree Shodai.

        "raw_content": "Fort Collins\u2019 Mormon Temple Ready for Temporary Public Viewing \u2013 What to Expect If You Go\nMormonNewsRoom.org\nBefore the Mormon Church\u2019s 153rd temple is dedicated on October 16th, the public is invited to view the inside, starting Friday, August 19th. It\u2019s very large and very sacred to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Here are some things to know before you take the tour.\nI was invited to media day at the new Mormon Temple on August 16th, 2016. I had been following the construction of the temple ever since the steeple caught my eye from over two miles away. They broke ground on the temple just about three years ago-- August 24, 2013-- and are now ready for an estimated 100,000 people to tour the temple before its official dedication.\nThere are an estimated 15 million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints across the world, 140 thousand in the state of Colorado, and about 45 thousand being our area\u2019s district, which is Wyoming, Western Nebraska and the Front Range and the northern part of Colorado. There is a temple located in Centennial, Colorado that was built in 1986. This new temple for Colorado has been in the works since 2011. There are 123 more temples planned for the world.\nThis temple, as with any of the Mormon temples, is used only for special \u2018rituals\u2019 and ceremonies. Keep in mind- only church members in \u2018good standing\u2019 are allowed inside the church. Most of the day-to-day, week-to-week church activity will continue to take place at the chapel across the street from the temple. Local church officials expect 15,000 church members to visit the temple every year.\nStructure facts: The Fort Collins temple sits on just over 12 acres at Trilby Road and Timberline. (Technically, the address is 2180 Majestic Drive.) The building is 42,205 square feet. It stands at 112 feet tall, including the gold-leafed statue of Moroni (a prophet of the church.) There are gardens on the east and west side of the \u2018campus\u2019, with a nice fountain within the east side garden. They have a very large parking area on the south side of the temple. Inside the temple, are many religious and non-religious paintings to reflect the teachings of the church as well as the natural surroundings of the area that the temple is located. You\u2019ll find a great Colorado mural in one of the \u2018Instruction\u2019 rooms, done by Keith Bond of Wellington! Interesting to note: The temple has 274 parking spaces, which is just ONE more than the chapel!\nWhat do they do inside temples? They, in the most basic of terms, do three things:\nOne: Marriages and sealings. Men and women marry, and then family members seal with the couple for eternity. The Fort Collins temple has three \u2018sealing\u2019 rooms. One large, and two smaller ones. In the large one they have two mirrors placed across from each other- to give the effect of \u2018forever\u2019 \u2013 representing not only tomorrow, but yesterday as well: Forever behind you, forever into the future. We were shown the Brides Room, but, like all Mormon temples, they do not have a Groom\u2019s room.\nTwo: Baptisms for family members who are deceased. To me, the Baptistry Room was the most fascinating. Not very large, but very deep. The Baptism Pond sits in the center, with two stairways down into the pond. The bowl of the pond itself, sits upon 12 oxen, which represent the 12 tribes of ancient Israel. It has a way of taking your breath away.\nThree: They have, at the Fort Collins temple, two \u2018Instruction\u2019 rooms. It\u2019s hard for me to explain, but from what I gather, those in good standing can get closer to God, by attending ceremonies and/or rituals, in these rooms.\nWe were also shown the \u2018Celestial Room\u2019 which is the most sacred part of the temple. They explained this is where members come to be \u2018quiet\u2019 and \u2018one\u2019 with God. We were asked not to speak in this room.\nThere are great chandeliers, great rugs, and beautiful details, all around the inside of the temple. Many, many man-hours went into the construction, by talented craftsmen and craftswomen, and it shows. The outside, is just as beautiful, of course.\nIf you attend one of their Open House tours, going on from August 19th through September 10th, keep in mind that they\u2019ll probably ask you to put on shoe covers to protect the flooring and carpets, and no photos will be allowed on the inside.\nI highly recommend touring the temple- You\u2019ll learn a lot, and see a lot; and when the temple is dedicated on October 16th, 2016, only a very few will be allowed to see what you have seen.\nYou can make a reservation for a tour (recommended) at their website, or call 1-855-537-2000.\nFiled Under: Churches, religion\nCategories: Best of Colorado, Colorado News, Featured, Fort Collins News, Greeley News, Local News, Loveland News",

        "raw_content": "Featured\t- Business\nWritten by David A. Dayton\nI had an interesting experience (interesting, as in: I learned a lot and didn\u2019t get screwed) today with a factory that is working with us on a couple of projects. Basically the owners and the manager came to talk with me about the fact that we are \u201ctoo strict\u201d on our quality standards and the high number of rejected products is costing the factory more than what they originally budgeted for.\nOf course there were lots of issues that they, as owners and not project managers, didn\u2019t know about like their late delivery, dirty product, incorrect product, etc. Once we got rid of the self-serving manager and listed out all the details we were able to have a relative straightforward discussion. Of course there are still many little twists, turns and subtleties that are sometimes hard to pick up (in Cantonese/Mandarin).\nThe personal price we pay\nI originally wrote this as a list of warning for those who are maybe a bit over excited about coming to work in China. I didn\u2019t mean it as a bash, but just a list of things that are real. After I finished, I thought that it might be a tad derogatory, so I ingested a large amount of chocolate and wrote a second, more Pollyannaish version (and yes, you\u2019ll be glad to know that \u201cPollyannaish\u201d is an actual work that does indeed spell-check; the word \u201cblog\u201d does not, though. Go figure.).\nThis is not a rant or a complaint. It\u2019s a real part of doing business in China and I list out the details for those who are expecting a move to China full time (more than a month) to be just like their previous quick trip to China for a factory visit. Nor is this all roses. It\u2019s a real part of doing business in China and I list out the details for those who are dreading that a move to China full-time (more than a month) will be just like any other \u201cbusiness move\u201d since all they\u2019ve seen is China from quick factory visits.\nForeign Mental Blocks\nWhile working in China is a completely new experience for most foreigners\u2014and a completely foreign experience at that\u2014there are some things that are, well, pretty easy to understand, I think, but that many new-to-China foreigners just don\u2019t seem to get. I\u2019ve put together a list of issues that have stumped more than one foreign client in the past few years\u2014and I made the list because all of these issues came up within the last month working with clients in the US during the current run-up to Chinese New Year.\n1. Order your 2Q products in the 4Q of the previous year NOT in the 1Q, just weeks before you need it. Everyone knows that nothing gets done in the States the last week of each year. From about Dec 23rd to Jan 2nd you can just count on 50% of every office staff being out on holiday or taking their accumulated sick days or just not working (because everyone else they need to talk with is on vacation).",

        "raw_content": "A Guide Book of United States Coins: Part 3 of PCGS series coinciding with Red Book\u2019s 70th anniversary\nSince November of last year, Coin Update has been following an excellent blog series written by Mike Sherman for PCGS.com. Called \u201cSeventy at Seventy,\u201d the series uses data in the iconic Guide Book of United States Coins (which has its 70th anniversary this year) to track the price performance of \u201c70 representative U.S. coins from across a wide spectrum of the hobby . . . at 10-year intervals from the first edition in 1947 to the present 2017 edition.\u201d Since Coin Update\u2019s parent company is Whitman Publishing, which publishes the Red Book, we\u2019re naturally quite interested in this study.\nSherman breaks his analysis down into seven groups: Early (pre-1807) type coins, key-date coins, 19th-century type coins, rare-date gold coins, silver dollars, gold type coins, and colonial/commemorative coins. Of course, studying any coin (let alone 70 of them) across such a wide time span means accounting for two things, as Sherman states in the first post. One is the changes in grades across the years:\nNot only did the first edition predate the Sheldon Numerical Grading System (which did not even gain widespread use outside of early copper coins until the late 1970s), but the whole notion of \u2018grades of Uncirculated\u2019 did not really exist before the 1960s. Even then, such descriptions as Choice or Gem BU were vague and anything but formally defined.\nThe other is the often-staggering effect of inflation:\nIn nice round numbers, the 1947 Dollar is worth just over $10 today. So a $12 price in the 1947 Red Book coincides with a price of about $125 in 2017. They both represent the same amount of money, so if the price increased from $12 to $125 over this period, there was effectively no movement at all.\nOur last post looked at part 2, which examined early type coins. Sherman found that his group of seven selected coins\u2014the 1793 cent and half cent, the 1807 dime, the 1796 quarter dollar, the 1797 half dollar, and the 1794 and 1802 dollars\u2014returned 4.5% every year, even after accounting for inflation. (His analysis is, of course, more detailed than this quick summary; you can read more here.)\nWe now move on to part 3, in which the author studies key-date coins, mostly from the 20th century and from commonly collected series. The 14 coins in this part of the study are as follows.\ncents\u20141856 (Flying Eagle), 1877, 1909-S V.D.B., 1914-D\nnickels\u20141885, 1926-S\ndimes\u20141895-O, 1916-D (Winged Liberty)\nquarter dollars\u20141901-S, 1916 (Standing Liberty), 1932-D\nhalf dollars\u20141921-D, 1938-D\ndollar\u20141870-CC\nAt first glance, before adjustments are made for inflation, the Red Book\u2013value increase is dazzling: from a total of $523 in 1947\u2019s first edition to $80,475 in the 2017 edition. After the appropriate adjustments are made, however, the key-date group doesn\u2019t perform as well as the early type-coin group. (Although, to be fair, notes Sherman, \u201cmuch of the return on the early type group was provided by the 1794 silver dollar, which soared from $650 in 1947 to $150,000 today.\u201d)\nSherman goes on to look at the coins\u2019 performance across the decades, and finds a big discrepancy between the inflation-adjusted annual return on the group over the 70-year period and their return for the 50 years since 1967. To read his analysis in full, check out \u201cSeventy at Seventy Part Three\u2014Key Date Coins\u201d on the PCGS website.\nNext time, we\u2019ll look at part 4 of Sherman\u2019s analysis: \u201c19th & Early 20th Century Type Coins.\u201d \u2751\nReal-world ideas for promoting numismatics \u201cPast & Present\u201d takes a look at the success of the 50 State Quarters Program Trump and the Fed: Changes may be coming Agents Seize Approximately $20 Million and Arrest Brazilian National in Scheme to Launder TelexFree Funds\nFiled Under: 2017, Coin Articles, Columns, Featured Articles, Reblogs, US Coins\nIn my opinion many of these may not see much growth in the future for a few reasons.

        "raw_content": "Slovakia: Pivotal events of Prague Spring in 1968 remembered on new silver commemorative coin\nThe National Bank of Slovakia has issued (9th August) new commemorative coins which are minted in remembrance of one of former Czechoslovakia\u2019s most pivotal events in their history as a modern nation \u2014 the time when Czechoslovaks attempted to reclaim their own nation from Soviet influence. The events of August 1968 were eerily similar to the historical changes which occurred in 1990 with the collapse of the communist government and the emergence of parliamentary elections. The exception being that with the sweeping winds of change, the Warsaw Pact alliance was no longer able to keep these governments under control by force \u2014 with many of the member states going through momentous changes themselves. The result was the freeing of a nation from an oppressive authoritarian rule \u2014 a longing which had been fulfilled after 22 years of waiting.\nThe coins are produced by the Kremnica Mint on behalf of the National Bank of Slovakia and are designed by Patrik Kova\u010dovsk\u00fd. The obverse features a fragment of famed photographer Laco Bielik\u2019s (1939\u20131984) photograph entitled \u201cBare-Chested Man in Front of the Occupier\u2019s Tank,\u201d which was photographed in the Slovak capital city of Bratislava during the invasion. This iconic image is placed in front of the number 50 and the word v\u00fdro\u010die (anniversary), symbolising the 50th anniversary of the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Warsaw Pact armed forces. At the top of the coin is the inscription AUGUST 1968.\nThe reverse design of the coin depicts barriers of barbed wire with the number 68 positioned behind them, representing the year of the period which began oppressive \u201cnormalisation,\u201d or the commencement of repressive policies that followed the invasion of Czechoslovakia by armed forces of the Warsaw Pact in August 1968. The Slovak coat of arms appears at the top of the coin. At the bottom is the name of the issuing country SLOVENSKO and the year of issuance 2018, along with the coin\u2019s denomination and currency 10 EURO, separated by a horizontal line. To the left of Slovakia\u2019s coat of arms is the mintmark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincov\u0148a Kremnica), and to the right are the stylised letters PK, the initials of the coin\u2019s designer.\n\u20ac10 .900 Silver 18 g 34 mm Brilliant Unc. 2,850\n\u20ac10 .900 Silver 18 g 34 mm Proof 6,650\nBoth versions of these new collector coins are individually encapsulated and presented in custom branded Kremnica Mint cases and are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the National Bank of Slovakia. For additional information about this coin and others issued by the National Bank of Slovakia, please visit the website of the Kremnica Mint.\nFor additional information about the photograph which was seen around the world and told an extraordinary story of the bravery of a nation in the face of unparalleled force (as well as a background of the photographer), please click here.\nSale of the postage stamp, which shares the same design as the new commemorative coin, can be purchased from the Philatelic division of the Slovak Post on the 21st August here.\nThe Prague Spring of 1968: Catalyst to the Fall of the Iron Curtain\nPrague Spring of 1968 poster by the Young Union. Image by CDU.\nThe decade of the 1960s represented a profound change for many countries in terms of social, political, and economic shifts \u2014 and in this regard \u2014 even some countries behind the Iron Curtain wished to see a meaningful change by the people imprisoned by harsh Soviet-style communism. Many Czechoslovaks read about the protests in Paris from university students protesting against consumerism, war, and the traditional values which the young were openly questioning. These Paris riots resulted in some of the most paralysing general strikes France had ever experienced, and while these protests were in full swing, students in Quebec were watching the events carefully. The first strikes occurred in Montreal in support of independence from Ottawa and greater funding for higher learning. In the United States, massive protests were organised after the shooting of Martin Luther King. With this backdrop, a protest which sprung up spontaneously supported a greater political freedom from Moscow and more non-aligned policies from the government. It was at this time when Czechoslovakia saw the emergence of a society-wide movement for democratisation of the communist regime.\nAt the same time, the Soviet leadership was closely monitoring these developments with increasing concern since the leaders of the Warsaw Pact alliance did not wish to see a reprisal of the events that had occurred in Budapest in 1956. During this time, Hungarians had attempted to extricate themselves from Soviet domination, and this eventually became a nationwide revolt against the Marxist-Leninist government of the Hungarian People\u2019s Republic and its Soviet-imposed policies. The revolt failed after the loss of life of many Hungarians and lead to a harsh crackdown from Moscow, which meant soldiers from the USSR and other Warsaw Pact countries entering Hungary.\nOn the 5th January, after the election of reformist Alexander Dub\u010dek (1921-1992) to the position of First Secretary of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia until the beginning of August 1968, many in Czechoslovakia were beginning to think of a new chapter in their country\u2019s history free from imposed communism. The popular policy of Dub\u010dek was to grant additional rights to the citizens of Czechoslovakia, which included partial decentralization of the economy and democratization of the political system. Freedoms granted included a loosening of restrictions on the media, speech, and even a lifting on the restrictions of travel. There were real hopes that the nation could return to democracy and multi-party politics, leaving communism behind. At the same time, Czechoslovakia was also becoming a model for other countries that had their democracy taken from them after the Second World War. Within months, communism was imposed, and in many instances, monarchies were toppled and democratically elected presidents were sent into exile or arrested.\nAs part of an arrangement where it was believed by the Dubcek government that Moscow might accept the will of the Czechoslovak people \u2014 as long as Prague remained loyal to Moscow \u2014 their hopes were suddenly dashed when on the night of the 20th August 1968, Warsaw Pact forces banded together and entered Czechoslovakia. The announcements during this time stipulated the aims of the invading forces (which included 300,000 foreign soldiers and more than 6,000 tanks and combat vehicles):\nIt was the common internationalist duty of all socialist countries to protect and consolidate socialist gains.\nThe occupying armies quickly seized control of Prague and the Central Committee\u2019s building, taking Dub\u010dek and other reformers into Soviet custody. Before they were arrested, Dub\u010dek urged the people not to resist militarily, on the grounds that \u201cpresenting a military defence would have meant exposing the Czech and Slovak peoples to a senseless bloodbath.\u201d Later in the day, Dub\u010dek and many in his government were taken to Moscow on a Soviet military transport aircraft. In Czechoslovakia, calls for Dubcek to be returned home immediately and for the invading forces to also return to their homes was in full force \u2014 with many radio stations taking the lead with calls of \u201cLong live freedom, Svoboda, Dubcek.\u201d\nAs part of the agreement making it possible for the return of the Czechoslovak government, the reformers were forced to accede to Soviet demands which meant signing the Moscow Protocols Agreement, dated the 25th August 1968. The main signatories of the 26 politicians in custody were Czechoslovak President Ludv\u00edk Svoboda, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia Alexander Dub\u010dek, Prime Minister Old\u0159ich \u010cern\u00edk, Chairman of the National Assembly Josef Smrkovsk\u00fd and most of the ministers, and the Communist Party leader. The only person present at the negotiations who declined to sign was Franti\u0161ek Kriegel, a member of the Czechoslovak Communist Party from early on who supported the reforms of Alexander Dubcek \u2014 and despite not signing the protocol \u2014 he was allowed to return to Prague, but was expelled from the party the following year.\nAfter the return of the government held in Moscow, and the tanks which had entered Czechoslovakia in an effort to quash any hope of deposing the communist rule in the country, Moscow had effectively crushed Dubcek\u2019s Prague Spring. Despite the threat of reprisals from Moscow towards their Warsaw Pact alliance members, there was condemnation from the Romanian leader. Albania also withdrew their forces from the Warsaw Pact and at the same time described the invasion as an act of \u201csocial imperialism.\u201d The invasion of Czechoslovakia shocked the world and triggered spontaneous civic resistance movements that made headlines at home and abroad. As a result, many Czechoslovakians learned over time that they were not alone and that there was tacit support for their movement.\nAlexander Dub\u010dek was kept under very close surveillance for much of his life after his return to Prague and was forced to resign as First Secretary in April 1969. He was however re-elected to the Federal Assembly \u2014 formerly the Federal Parliament \u2014 and became its chairman. In 1970, Dubcek was expelled from the Communist Party altogether and lost his seat in the Slovak parliament, which he had held continuously since 1964, as well as the Federal Assembly. Dubcek lived to see the end of imposed communism in his country after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and at the same time, he witnessed the peaceful discussions to negotiate the separation of Czechoslovakia into two parliamentary republics. He died on the 7th November 1992, as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash that took place on the 1st September, and was buried in Sl\u00e1vi\u010die \u00fadolie Cemetery in Bratislava. The Czech Republic and Slovakia formally separated on the 1st January 1993. Over time, both the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic integrated into the many Western European and international institutions such as NATO and the European Union \u2014 both events occurring in 2004. Both countries are also observing their centenary anniversary of independence this year, which was achieved in 1918 after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles \u2014 which ended the Great War.\nSlovakia: New silver coin celebrates 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Slovak Republic Slovakia: 450th Anniversary of the Birth of Noted 16th-Century Scientist J\u00e1n Jessenius Marked With New Silver Coin Slovakia: Prominent literary figure Bo\u017eena Slan\u010d\u00edkov\u00e1-Timrava remembered on new silver coin United Kingdom: Fantastic two-pound coin issued to mark the 200th anniversary of the publication of Frankenstein\nFiled Under: 2018, Coin Articles, Columns, Commemorative Coins, Kremnica Mint, Slovakian Coins, World Coins",

In community-based research, the inclusion of participants in every aspect of a study is important. It is beneficial to both researchers and community members alike.\nDr. Sally Davis, a tenured professor in the Prevention Research Center at The University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center, has been working with New Mexico communities since joining The University in 1976. She has focused her work on rural under-served, under-resourced and under-represented populations to answer tough questions related to improving education, healthy living, quality of life, and other topics identified by the communities she partners and conducts her research in.\n\"This is a very special honor. I am very happy to be selected as 2018\u2019s recipient. I am even happier to know that our university recognizes the value and importance of community-engaged scholarship in such a special way.\" \u2014 Sally Davis\nThroughout her career Davis has been a champion for rural communities with limited access to resources and services and those often faced with a greater burden of disease. As an innovative leader, Davis has opened the door for many others to follow. She has managed to combine three of her life-long joys \u2013 research, education and service \u2013 into that commitment and has been successful in terms of extramural funding securing more than 80 grants, while also recruiting, mentoring and collaborating with outstanding colleagues, students and community members dedicated to community-engaged prevention research and practice.\nCommunity-Engagement Research Lecture Feb. 21\nAs part of the Community-Engaged Research Lectureship Award, Dr. Sally Davis presents a lecture titled \u201cFundamentals of Translating Prevention Science into Practice: Bridging the Gap through Innovative Community-Academic Partnerships\u201d on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 5:30 p.m., in the UNM Domenici Center Auditorium.\nA reception follows from 7 to 8 p.m. in the UNM Domenici Center West lobby.\nThe campus community, including faculty, staff and students, as well as the general public are invited to attend the free lecture. Click here to RSVP to the lecture.\nThrough those partnerships, Davis has been able to utilize personal qualities that have embodied her career and her philosophy for more than four decades. Those qualities include: insightfulness, persistence, skill, enthusiasm, original thinking and technical knowledge. She displays these qualities in her scholarly work that includes education, mentorship, programming, research, publishing and of course in her activities collaborating in the various rural and underserved communities where she has served during most of her career.\nIt\u2019s this same type of work that embodies the spirit of the Community Engaged Research Lectureship Award, an award presented by UNM\u2019s Office of the Vice President for Research. It\u2019s the highest campuswide award bestowed upon UNM faculty for community-engaged scholarship. The annual award, now in its third year, recognizes exceptional scholarly work that embodies UNM\u2019s commitment to community engagement and profoundly and systematically affects the relationship between the university and the larger community in a positive and meaningful way.\n\u201dThis is a very special honor,\u201d Davis said. \u201cI am very happy to be selected as 2018\u2019s recipient. I am even happier to know that our university recognizes the value and importance of community-engaged scholarship in such a special way.\u201d\nAs part of the honor, Davis will present a lecture titled \u201cFundamentals of Translating Prevention Science into Practice: Bridging the Gap through Innovative Community-Academic Partnerships\u201d on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 5:30 p.m., in the UNM Domenici Center Auditorium. A reception follows from 7 to 8 p.m. in the UNM Domenici Center West lobby.\nThe campus community, including faculty, staff and students, and the public are invited; no admission charge. Click here to RSVP to the lecture.\nDavis has built an impressive portfolio over the decades having developed innovative programs in a variety of community-engaged intervention research and programs including graduate medical education, care of Native American teens, prevention of obesity in preschoolers and their families in rural and underserved communities, reduction of risk for diabetes in rural communities and increasing Native Americans students\u2019 interest in future STEM careers. The key underlining component through all of Davis\u2019 work involves \u201cpartnerships.\u201d\nIn Davis\u2019 nomination form, it states: \u201cIt is important to understand that essentially all of the work that Dr. Davis has done over more than four decades to address the needs of communities through partnerships with them has been supported by extramural funding for that work. This gives one a sense not only of her commitment to that work, and her skill in developing and conducting that work, but also her persistence in it.\u201d\nSome of Davis\u2019 notable work includes serving as Principal Investigator for Pathways-Prevention of Obesity in American Indian Schoolchildren, a National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) funded, multisite (7 tribes, 5 universities) eight-year study and the first of its kind study. Pathways was followed by the Child Health Initiative for Lifelong Eating and Exercise (CHILE), a National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK) funded, study, implemented in 16 rural communities in New Mexico.\nBoth have been widely disseminated throughout New Mexico and the country and are considered models for community-engaged randomized controlled trials. In addition to her research in New Mexico and the Southwest, she has worked with a seven-nation inhalant abuse prevention project at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva and with the National Executive Service Corps developing a model for community self-sufficiency in Zimbabwe.\n\u201cI have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with smart, hard-working and caring colleagues and communities and equally fortunate to have our work funded over the years. It has been and continues to be an exciting and meaningful journey.\u201d \u2014 Sally Davis\nRecently, Davis has focus on translational research \u2013 bridging the gap between research and practice. She has been partnering with the Village of Cuba, N.M. since 2009, to study the dissemination and implementation of evidence-based physical activity interventions. This successful beta study, Village Interventions and Venues for Activity/Action (VIVA), is currently being scaled up and studied in more than 30 rural communities throughout our state.\nIt was 1995 when Davis applied for and was awarded one the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control's (CDC's) prestigious Prevention Research Centers (PRC) grants. She has been successful in securing continued funding through its competitive renewal process for the past 20 years. The establishment of and sustainability of the Center has been an important contribution to New Mexico and to the University. The UNM PRC was recently recognized when Davis was chosen to be keynote speaker at the 30th Prevention Research Center Program Celebration held at the CDC in Atlanta. Representing PRCs from across the country, she addressed the important of translating evidence-based research into practice using innovated community-academic partnerships.\n\u201cI have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with smart, hard-working and caring colleagues and communities and equally fortunate to have our work funded over the years,\u201d Davis said. \u201dIt has been and continues to be an exciting and meaningful journey.\u201d\nTags: research Domenici Center for Health Sciences Education Health Sciences Center\nvtan@unm.edu",

        "raw_content": "Specialty crops industry applauds Senate approach to Farm Bill\nWASHINGTON \u2014 The Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance (SCFBA) representing more than 120 specialty crop organizations across the United States has released the following statement following the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee\u2019s introduction of the farm bill:\nThe Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance applauds the efforts of Chairman Pat Roberts and Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow along with the members of the Senate Agriculture Committee in drafting the Senate 2018 Farm Bill, the Agriculture Improvement Act. This legislation clearly reflects the growing importance of the specialty crop industry in American agriculture.\nThe Alliance is particularly pleased to see the inclusion of a new program for citrus producers, increased funds for nutrition programs as well as the extension of many of the specialty crop provisions that were included in the 2014 Farm Bill such as:\n\u2022 Specialty Crop Block Grants ($85 million/year)\n\u2022 Specialty Crop Research Initiative ($80 million/year)\n\u2022 Trade Programs including MAP ($200 million/year) and TASC ($9 million/year)\n\u2022 Pest and Disease Programs ($75 million/year) and National Clean Plant Network ($5 million/year)\n\u2022 Food Insecurity and Nutrition Incentive Program (FINI) (Increased to $250 million over five years)\n\u2022 Emergency Citrus Disease Research and Development Trust Fund ($125 million over five years)\nThe SCFBA further stated: \u201cThe Alliance is grateful for the inclusion of these programs in the Senate legislation. These funding commitments demonstrate that the Senate recognizes the value of these programs and their tremendous importance to the specialty crop industry and consumers.\nThe Alliance also appreciates the collaboration from the Senate Agriculture Committee members that took place to develop such a strong, bipartisan bill. We will continue to work with industry allies in Congress to ensure the programs original mission of promoting specialty crops is sustained in the 2018 Farm Bill.\u201d\nThe Specialty Crop Farm Bill Alliance is a national coalition of more than 120 organizations representing growers of fruits, vegetables, dried fruit, tree nuts, nursery plants and other products. The Alliance was established to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crop agriculture and improve the health of Americans by broadening the scope of U.S. agricultural public policy.\nFor more information, visit http://www.farmbillalliance.org.",

        "raw_content": "Discover Old School Square, a National Historic Site where beautifully restored, early 20th century school buildings serve the greater Delray Beach community and South Florida with visual and performing arts, entertainment and enrichment.\nLocated in the heart of downtown Delray Beach, this award-winning, nationally recognized arts center successfully combined historic preservation and the arts to become the catalyst for the 1990\u2019s renaissance of downtown Delray Beach. It all began with the vision of one person, our founder, Frances F. Bourque.\nThe campus includes the Cornell Art Museum (c. 1913) \u2014 presenting rotating exhibitions of contemporary and cutting edge art by regional, national and internationally recognized artists; the intimate, 323-seat Crest Theatre (c. 1925) \u2014 presenting national tours, musicals, variety, Broadway cabaret with New York\u2019s hottest stars, comedy, film and lectures with nationally renowned speakers; and The Fieldhouse (formerly known as the Vintage Gymnasium, c. 1925) \u2014 presenting series of music (all genres), comedy, poetry, art and more. The Fieldhouse is also used for special events, receptions, and private parties.\nThe Pavilion, which opened in 2002, is a state-of-the-art outdoor performance venue surrounded by an open, grassy area and covered walkway. The Old School Square Park (a City of Delray park) is just to the east.\nThe Creative Arts School, which launched in 2010, is gaining a reputation in Palm Beach County and South Florida for its top quality art, photography and writing classes for beginners through master level. The School recently added performance classes to the roster and also offers a variety of children\u2019s classes, art and photography workshops, a Visiting Artist Workshop Series, and Free Open Readings.\nOld School Square\u2019s mission is to be the community\u2019s cultural center and gathering place for enriching the lives of all people by providing a total arts experience through visual and performing arts, education, and entertainment, while preserving our National Historic Site.\nWe strive to provide superior, professional and accessible programs and services through a team of dedicated staff and volunteers who embrace cultural diversity, work to establish strong partnerships, and who honor and protect our historic (school) buildings.\nOur vision is to offer a broad range of programs and services that will inspire every segment of the community to participate. Through expanded financial stability, Old School Square will experience continued growth as a multi-disciplinary organization and will lead the City\u2019s plan to be a national cultural arts destination.",

Impossible but true, because Henry finds himself periodically displaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.\nThe Time Traveler's Wife depicts the effects of time travel on Henry and Clare's marriage and their passionate love for each other, as the story unfolds from both points of view. Clare and Henry attempt to live normal lives, pursuing familiar goals \u2014 steady jobs, good friends, children of their own.

        "raw_content": "The Foundation of Relationships\nMatithyah [Matthew] 7:12\n\u201cTherefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law (Torah) and the prophets.\u201d\nThe first thing that one needs to see from this passage is that Yeshua is encouraging His followers to follow Torah. He does this numerous times and in many ways throughout His teaching ministry. This seems to be one of those verses, in which Yeshua summarizes the Torah, into a very concise statement. This summary statement is related to Yeshua's summary of the two greatest commandments. What Yeshua is doing, is taking the Torah and showing how to internalize it and make it one\u2019s own.\nIn order to get the full meaning of this passage, we need to start with the very first word of this verse, \u201ctherefore.\u201d Whenever we see this word in Scripture, we need to remember that this word ties what is about to be said, with what has already been said. Therefore, we need to back up and see what Yeshua is teaching in the verses directly before this verse.\nMatithyah [Matthew] 7:7-11\n7 \u201cAsk, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you;\n8 for every one that asks - receives; and he that seeks - finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.\n9 Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;\n10 or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?\n11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?\u201d\nYeshua teaches a person needs to \u201cask,\u201d \u201cseek,\u201d and \u201cknock.\u201d These three words form an acronym of the word \u201cask.\u201d\nThis is just an easy way to remember these three things, which Yeshua teaches us to do, to help us enter into His Kingdom.\nBut what does it mean to ask, seek, and knock?\nPlease consider that Yeshua follows this admonition with the illustration of a man and a son, with the man\u2019s son asking for something to eat. Of course, when our children are hungry and need something to eat, we do not give them something useless, or even worse, something that would be harmful to them. What good would that do? None!\nTherefore, as we know how to bless our children with the things that they need, so too, does our heavenly Father know how to bless His children with those things that we need. Verse eleven then sums up those verses immediately before it, from seven to ten. It is this concept to which the \u201ctherefore\u201d in verse 12 is tied. Let us look at these two verses together.\n12 Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law (Torah) and the prophets.\u201d\nOur heavenly Father treats us all equally, and well at that. He gives each and every one of us exactly what we need. He blesses us beyond understanding. And since this is true for all of us, then should we not treat others the way in which our heavenly Father is treating us? To be sure, we should!\nYeshua takes this one step further, and tells us that the way we want people to treat us is the way we should treat them. This is a principle found throughout Scripture.\n8 For he that sows to his own flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap eternal life.\nTo state this principle in modern vernacular, it would be something like this: \u201cWhat goes around comes around.\u201d This principle cannot be thwarted or stopped. If a person treats others with disdain and contempt, then this is what he will reap.\nWhen a farmer sows corn in his field, does he expect to harvest oats? No, of course he doesn\u2019t expect such; for it would be madness! Yet, how often do people sow one thing into the lives of those around them, and expect to get something other than what they have sown? This is the essence of insanity!\nHave you ever been around a person who is always critical? Guess what that person is always reaping? Yep, exactly what he is sowing! It is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The only thing is, it is much worse than what he has sown. It is kind of like this: when a farmer plants a field he uses a certain amount of seed to sow into the ground. He fully expects the amount of seed which he sowed in that field, to produce an increase at harvest time.\nMarqa (Mark) 4:8\nTherefore, whatever it is that a person sows, not only will he receive back what he has sown, but it will be in abundance. This is part of the law of sowing and reaping. This principle is stated differently in the following passage.\nFor they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; he has no standing grain; the blade shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.\nThe basic idea which we need to understand here is whatever it is that one sows, he will reap a greater amount in the same kind! Now, this verse in its pashat (literal) meaning and understanding is phrasing it to mean something evil. Reexamining Galatians 6:8 as quoted above, one sees that the sowing and reaping one does can be either for the good or for the evil. One can sow to the flesh, and reap damnation. Or, one can sow to the Spirit, and reap eternal life.\nTherefore, how can we know which one we are doing, that is, what we are sowing? Let us consider a few verses to help us understand what it is we are sowing.\nFirst, we need to keep in mind that one needs to keep on doing what is right, regardless of what anyone else around him is doing, or what anyone may be doing to him. Sure, it\u2019s pretty easy to do what is right, when things are easy going. But what happens when the going gets tough? Do we still do what is right? It is during these times, that one's true character shines through all the fa\u00e7ades he has erected, for all to plainly see.\nWhile we are admonished to treat others in the way that we would want to be treated, this is really what it is all about: others. It is not really about what I get out of something. Rather, it is what I can give to help others.\nIn love of the brethren be tenderly affectionate one to another; in honor preferring one another;\nShaul taught to give preference to our brethren. If one is seeking to exalt himself, he cannot do that.\n12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.\u201d\nIt is not up to a person to exalt himself. Rather, one should serve those around him with a heart of love. In doing this, he sets an example for others to follow, and allows him to teach, with the heart of a servant.\nKepha Aleph [1st Peter] 5:2-3\n2 Shepherd the flock of Elohim which is among you, exercising oversight not under compulsion, but willingly, according to the will of Elohim; nor yet for filthy lucre, but with eagerness of mind;\n3 neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock.\nI grew up going to church. I was a pastor for many years. But, it was only on rare occasions that I witnessed the above passage being lived. One of the saddest things I witnessed regularly, was my fellow pastors working at climbing the corporate church ladder. What YHWH has called us to do, is to feed those whom He sets us in the midst thereof. We do not need to be always looking for greener pastures for ourselves. We just need to feed those whom He gives to us to feed. If He wants to increase one\u2019s ministry, then it is His choice, not ours!\nI remember an occasion during the winter in which it was snowing. It seems that during lambing season, it is during the worst of weather that the ewes give birth to their lambs. That day was no exception. One of our sheep gave birth to twins, a male and a female. For some reason that I do not quite understand, on occasion the mother ewe will reject one of her babies. It is known as a \u201cbummer\u201d lamb. That day was one of those times, in which the mother rejected one of her babies (the female). So it looked as though we were going to have a bummer lamb to feed with a bottle. Perhaps YHWH set this in motion, so that I could use it as an illustration to teach something about His Kingdom.\nOther than the fact one lamb is male and one lamb is female, they are identical; it would be difficult to tell them apart. But this \u201cmommy\u201d sheep could tell the difference, and wanted nothing to do with her newborn baby. I even picked up the other lamb, and hid it so she could not see it. She walked around the stall bawling and searching for the baby she wanted; only occasionally pausing to butt the other baby away from her. Even though this baby was only hours old, it had already learned to duck when it saw \u201cmommy\u201d coming.\nI could see no reason why this mother sheep had rejected one of her own babies. Apparently, she could see something which I did not. And even if I could have seen her reason and understood why it is that she rejected her baby, I probably would have not agreed with her reason.\nI wonder how many times we are guilty of rejecting a fellow disciple, and butting them, and causing them to duck? I wonder if what we see in that person we are rejecting is truly a justifiable reason to reject him? I wonder if YHWH would see our reason as something that is acceptable? After all, who did Yeshua call to follow Him? Was it not the unlovely, the rejected, and the outcasts of society? Should we not be doing the same?\nWhen a bummer lamb comes along, if we do not bottle feed it, then it will die in a very short time (one or two days). Sometimes we can save the bummer lambs, and sometimes we cannot. It is always sad when a lamb dies. How much sadder it is, when one of His lambs dies (spiritually) because the other sheep have butted it and rejected it!\nDon\u2019t forget, at one time you, too, were a bummer lamb!\nWe would not want to be rejected and perish because we had no food! Let us make sure that we are feeding His sheep in a manner that is pleasing to Him! And let us do it in a manner in which we would like to be fed.\nFinally, let us examine the verses that follow this verse.\nMatithyah [Matthew] 7:13-14\n13 \u201cEnter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby.\n14 For small is the gate, and narrow is the way, that leads to life, and few are they that find it.\u201d\nWhat is the narrow way? The context would strongly suggest that the narrow way is treating others the way that we would like to be treated. It would seem that there are few who actually find this gate. Stop and contemplate this for a few minutes. How many people do you know who actually do this? Probably not very many people do it. The way that most people treat others is not the way they want to be treated. Rather, the way most people treat others is with an air of superiority. They look down their noses at others, and treat them as an unrighteous king would his subjects. Most people treat others as if all others owe them something. This can be readily seen in stores or restaurants. Ever notice how people are always so impatient? The reason for their impatience is because they, personally, are being put out (or so they think). Their time is more important than anyone else's time (or so they think). But when it is their turn to be waited upon, or checked out and someone behind them is being impatient, then suddenly it is a whole different story (or so they think).\nOr how about in traffic, when traffic is not flowing as smoothly or as quickly as we would like for it to flow? Once again, the impatience of other drivers can be readily seen, as they think they should be given preference over all other drivers; but what about us? Really now, even though we have all acted like this at times in the past, when we carefully consider this, why should we be given preferential treatment? Who do we think we are, anyway? This type of mindset is totally against the teachings of Scripture! It is about time that each one of us begins to practice on a moment by moment basis, treating others as we would like to be treated.\nIf we would like to receive preferential treatment, then we had better start giving it out in really big doses! If we would like to be treated like a king (or queen), then we need to start treating others like kings and queens. What we need to do, is to start living the life of a servant. What better place to start living this life, than serving those who live under the same roof as we do? Why not start treating your own family the way that you would like for your family to treat you?\nABBA YHWH, open our eyes to see the way that we are treating others, and if it is not pleasing to You, show us so that we may change and live a life pleasing to You; in the name of Yeshua our Mashiach. Amein.\nAmein & Amein!",

        "raw_content": "OntORA\u2019 S News Editor and Communications Director Retires\nSimon Guillet has decided its time to finally retire from being OntORA\u2019 S news editor and communications director. Simon was the founding President of OntORA when it was formed in 2008. He was instrumental in the formation of OntORA and getting financial support from the USW to start up the new organization. After his role as President Simon stayed on as an advisor and communications director. Simon\u2019s talents as a writer will be missed. We thank him for all his dedication and hard work for OntORA. We also wish Simon a happy retirement.\nOntORA meets with Sault Ste Marie MNRF District Office\nIn its ongoing quest to engage in useful dialogue to promote OntORA policies with politicians and MNRF officials in the new Ontario political landscape, OntORA executive officers made arrangements to meet with the MNRF Sault District Manager on September 11th.\nMNRF District Manager Wayne Fisset was off due to illness. However, Bill May, District Resource Management Supervisor, paid close attention to OntORA views and comments. Discussion was held on crown land access, moose regulations, Lake trout limit and the Whitman Dam road.\nThis meeting was well received by both parties and we look forward to further dialogue.\nForest Access Roads\nAfter describing our mission, we informed him that, contrary to some scare stories circulated by NOTO and others, OntORA is not out to shut down northern tourist operators, but merely seeking an end to the present discriminatory two-class system of public access. We raised our concern over berms and culverts and other means of preventing public access to secondary roads, many of them paid for by taxpayers. Bill May informed that in the Sault area he has given the directive to logging operators if a bridge is pulled then they need to make the creek or river passable by truck.\nMay is also going to talk to his Manager about making loggers put roads farther away from tourist operators so that it avoids conflict. Right now, the loggers control how they put roads. We discussed all the roads with no access in the north, Timmins, Chapleau, Wawa etc. We spent a good amount of time on the issue of access. OntORA asked that they reconsider/modify some of their berming and other policies. OntORA also discussed the issue of Local Citizens Committees being addressed and given a more democratic initiative than was fostered by the previous government.\nMay reiterated that everything revolves around the Forest Management Plans as far as changing policies about where road closure signs are posted, where the roads get built, etc. However, when OntORA argued that when it comes deciding which lakes might be protected in the Forest Management Plans, the District Managers have a lot of leeway as to where and how far back on the road system various closure signs are placed. May did not disagree but, moved away from that topic. Perhaps more pressure or representations with various District Managers across the province may be helpful in pursuing this point.\nOntORA also covered government funding of Forest Access Roads in Ontario. Currently, according to Bill May, there is a total of only $50 million in government funding each year for forestry roads. So even though 100% of primary roads / 50% of secondary roads / 0% of tertiary roads may be funded by the government, each logging company only gets their pro-rationed share of the $50 million pot, depending on how much wood they harvest over a 3-year period.\nAt the annual AGM there was a question from a member on whether access roads to Goulais Lake, Patterson, Eileen and Coppens were still closed. Those roads are in the Algoma Headwaters Signature Park and continue to be closed. See section 8.1.5 of the park plan. This park was opposed by many groups. The website is below:\nhttp://files.ontario.ca/environment-and-energy/parks-and-protected-areas/mnr_bpp0331.pdf\nMoose Regulations\nWe relayed our frustrations over the current moose regulations and mismanagement of the moose program. In the 1980\u2019s when the MNR took away the buddy system we were told it was necessary to increase the herd. Where are we with the herd today? Nobody addressed the real problems, bears, wolves, poaching and non-reporting for native harvesting.\nA large percentage of calves are killed each spring by bears and wolves. Adult moose also are victims to these predators.\nThe only way the moose herd will increase is if all parties sit down and work together to address the issues.\nLake Trout Regulations\nThe Lake Trout limits introduced created a lot of concern and frustration amongst anglers. Especially the slot size. The majority of anglers could live with the reduction to 2 for the time being. I understand the scientific model may say that the slot size is required but the practical model which we see out there as anglers suggests we are losing fish that are put down the hole in order to continue to fish to stay within the slot size. Ask any angler. Most anglers like myself do not keep lake trout over 2 lbs. We understand they are our future producers. Public education would be effective here. At the request of the MNR we submitted a letter outlining our concerns over the Lake Trout regulations.\nOntORA also discussed the Whitman Dam Road Committee and the good work done by that Committee which benefits a great many people. May replied that the MNRF is cooperating with the Committee and assisting wherever possible.\nMeeting with MPP Ross Romano\nPresident John Kallio met with MPP Ross Romano and his assistant on October 5th to introduce himself and OntORA. A general discussion occurred on what OntORA stands for. Discussion ensued on access issues in northern Ontario, frustration over MNR polices and lack of consultations with the public. We also requested that we get a meeting with the Minister of Natural Resources. MPP Ross Romano stated he will set up a meeting when the Minister is up in the Sault.\nClive Henderson Update\nClive continues to fight the MNR over the unjust trespass onto his private property. Next court date is in December.\nOntORA Needs Volunteers\nThere is a great need for assistance within OntORA. We are looking for officers and a person willing to do the newsletter. The Sudbury, Wawa and Timmins are in need of directors. Please help out if you can. Remember not only are we fighting for our rights but the rights of our children and grandchildren.\nPlease renew your 2019 Membership:\nOntORA Membership Renewal\nMemberships keep our OntORA group strong:\nMarket Mall PO BOX 24055 Sault Ste.

Andy was a avid supporter of OntORA and became Director for the Sudbury group. He resigned in May of 2018 after getting the third OntORA sign up. He was instrumental in getting the 3 signs up. The first one was just north of Cartier followed by the second sign placed on the East Bound side of Hwy 17 East in Warren. The third one is along Hwy 17 West near the Fairbanks Lake turn off. Andy was also a Zone Representative with the Ontario Federation of Anglers. As most know, Andy was not afraid to speak his mind. OntORA will miss his vocalness and passion for the outdoors. Our sincere sympathies go out to his family and friends.\nONTORA\u2019S LAWYER PASSES AWAY\nOntORA was saddened to hear Jonathon Poitras passed away at the young age of 34 on December 22nd, 2018. Our sincere sympathies go out to his family and friends.\nOntORA hired Jonathon Poitras back in 2015 when OntORA was appealing the decision of the Justice of the Peace on the charges from the Foleyet rally. Jonathon Poitras was an avid outdoorsman and when we sat with him to discuss the appeal, he agreed to be our lawyer and help out with the costs. OntORA appreciated all his efforts on our behalf.\nONTORA PRESIDENT MEETS WITH ONTARIO\u2019S MINISTER OF NATURAL RESOURCES\nOntORA\u2019 S executive met with the Local MNR on September 11th, 2018. A meeting was also held with MPP Ross Romano on October 5th. These meetings were reported on in the fall 2018 News Bulletin.\nWe also requested from MPP Ross Romano a meeting with the Minister of Natural Resources when he came to the Sault. President John Kallio was invited to sit in on a round table discussion with the Minister of MNR, John Yakabuski on November 15th, 2018. Below is what was raised with the Minister and a hard copy at his request was sent to the minister:\n\u2022 Access continues to be a concern for many outdoor enthusiasts. The MNR closes roads without proper consultation and considerations of all user groups. Around tourist operations, do not put the roads close to them.\n\u2022 Stewardship of the natural resources of the province by the MNR is not working. There is too much autonomy for district managers. Lack of proper consultation. They also don\u2019t seem to listen to feedback given to them. Ex Algoma Headwaters Signature Park. The majority were against this park.\n\u2022 Moose management has been a failure. The buddy system for tag allocation was cancelled due to the moose herd population declining. This was changed in the mid 1980\u2019s to the current tag allocation system. Today the herd has still not improved. They never addressed predator management or how to deal with non-reporting by natives.\n\u2022 The current Lake Trout slot size and 2 fish limits in our zone. Many fishermen could live with the 2 fish limit for now but the slot size needs to be removed. Better education to the public on releasing bigger fish that are the breeding stock of a lake. More stocking needs to be done.\nThe Minister did state with regards to moose management that the government is working to make the moose draw fairer, more accessible and simpler for hunters by updating its approach to managing moose. Over the next two years the tag quotas and allocation process will be reviewed.\nONTORA\u2019S AGM\nThis year\u2019s AGM will be held tentatively on April 27, 2019. We will send out a reminder on the date, time and location as we get closer to the end of April 2019.\nPLEASE RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIPS.\nMemberships keep our OntORA group strong.\nPrevious post: NEWSLETTER",

        "title": "Will medical marijuana be covered by insurance companies?",
        "raw_content": "A state judge in New Jersey has issued a ruling that may lead to a requirement that all insurance companies will someday have to cover medical marijuana.\nAs reported by Natural Blaze, Egg Harbor resident Andrew Watson signed up for the state\u2019s medical cannabis program in 2014, then attempted to get reimbursed for buying medical marijuana over a three-month period.\nWatson, who was suffering from neuropathic pain in his left hand after being injured on the job, had a medical condition that qualified him under New Jersey law for medical marijuana. That said, his initial workman\u2019s compensation was turned down.\nIn court, a psychiatrist and neurologist testified on behalf of Watson, telling the judge that by using medical marijuana, Watson would be able to decrease his use of prescription opioids, which would in turn lower any potential dangerous side effects and risk of becoming addicted, which has been deemed a nationwide epidemic by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (RELATED: Prescription opioid deaths surpass gun-related deaths\u2026 Big Pharma literally killing more people than GUNS.)\nAfter hearing those arguments, the court ruled that indeed, Watson\u2019s medical cannabis was not only helpful but also necessary to his recovery and ability to function and as such, ought to be covered by medical insurance.\n\u201cThe evidence presented in these proceedings show that the petitioner\u2019s \u2018trial\u2019 use of medicinal marijuana has been successful,\u201d wrote Judge Ingrid L. French, in her ruling. \u201cWhile the court is sensitive to the controversy surrounding the medicinal use of marijuana, whether or not it should be prescribed for a patient in a state where it is legal to prescribe it is a medical decision that is within the boundaries of the laws in the state.\u201d\nShe noted that Watson\u2019s decision to try medical cannabis to relieve his conditions over opioids was \u201ccautious, mature, and\u2026 exceptionally conscientious.\u201d\nThe decision is the latest in a series of positive steps aimed at decreasing the use of dangerous, deadly opioids in lieu of medical cannabis that many experts believe is not only far less risky, but very effective as well.\nThe majority of drug overdose deaths (more than six out of ten) involve an opioid,\u201d the CDC said on its web site. \u201cSince 1999, the number of overdose deaths involving opioids (including prescription opioids and heroin) quadrupled. From 2000 to 2015, more than half a million people died from drug overdoses. Ninety one Americans die every day from an opioid overdose.\u201d\nThe agency said that opioid deaths have been increasing for the past 15 years, which coincides with a steady, yet dramatic, rise in opioid prescriptions. Since 1999, the CDC said, the number of opioid prescriptions has nearly doubled, while deaths from drugs like oxycodone, methadone, and hydrocodone have more than quadrupled. (RELATED: National Academy Of Sciences: Marijuana Can Be Used As A Medicine.)\nAs medical practitioners cut down on prescribing opioids, there has been a resultant rise in heroin use \u2013 because it\u2019s cheaper and widely available \u2013 and in overdose deaths from heroin. In August the Washington Post reported:\nIn terms of both rates and raw numbers, drug overdose deaths have exploded in recent decades. Since 1982, the drug overdose mortality rate has risen by 425 percent, adjusting for population.\nThey have eclipsed motor vehicle fatalities as a leading cause of death in the United States, according to a new working paper from Christopher J. Ruhm from the University of Virginia. In 1982, motor vehicle deaths were seven times more common than drug overdose deaths, according to Ruhm\u2019s analysis of CDC data. By 2014, overdose deaths had become considerably more common than vehicle fatalities.\nIn the U.S., a number of states have recently moved to decriminalize both medical marijuana and recreational pot. While recreational consumption remains against federal law, some hope the Trump administration will remove marijuana from the Schedule I list of banned substances. That may go a long way towards requiring medical marijuana to be covered by health insurance.\nAs HempScience.news reported recently, the country of Israel is moving to decriminalize recreational pot use.\nTagged Under: health insurance, Medical cannabis, medical industry, medical marijuana",

        "raw_content": "015: What You Need to Know About Special Needs Ministry with Tom & Alica Parsons and Meaghan Wall\nJul 25, 2017 | Elevating Community, Influencing Service, Parents\nAs ministry leaders, we believe every person matters to God. And as leaders who think Orange, we know the importance of the family in shaping the heart of each individual. But what do we do when a family walks through our doors that we\u2019re not quite sure how to engage?\nIn today\u2019s episode, we focus on the role special needs ministry can play in reaching families in our communities. Our guests for this conversation all attend the same church and have unique perspectives on this topic from both sides of the fence. Tom and Alica Parsons share what it\u2019s like to be the parents of a kid with special needs, and Meaghan Wall joins us for an interview on what the church can do to come alongside families like the Parsons. We hope you\u2019ll be inspired to see new ways to serve every family that walks through your church\u2019s doors this week.\nConversation with Tom and Alica Parsons (1:50)\nThe Parsons tell of two diametrically opposed church experiences (3:35)\nConnect with every child on a level he or she can learn from (6:03)\nRemove all negative talk (8:41)\nMake it a priority for your volunteers to get to know the kids they minister to outside of church on Sunday (11:00)\nMinister to every individual with the awareness that they have a soul (16:15)\nAlica and Tom tell the story of their son Dane accepting God\u2019s gift of salvation (19:30)\nInterview with Meaghan Wall (22:53)\nMeaghan started in special needs ministry by working at an Easterseals\u2019 summer camp (23:07)\nHow Meaghan came to be on staff at Stonebriar Community Church (27:05)\nWhy churches should have a special needs ministry (28:43)\nWhat parents who have children with special needs are facing that church leaders need to be aware of (30:17)\nHow churches that don\u2019t currently have a separate special needs ministry can serve families in their communities (32:42)\nWhat we can do to help families feel welcome in our environments and keep communication open (37:07)\nThe wins a church can experience by having a special needs ministry (41:00)\nWhat church leaders can do to encourage families with special needs (42:53)\nAshley\u2019s closing thoughts (44:39)\nStonebriar Community Church of Frisco, Texas\nTOM & ALICA PARSONS\nAlica Parsons is a wife, and a mother of four teenagers. As a family, they attend and serve as volunteers at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas. Alica is a teacher, former television spokesmodel, adoption advocate, and cheer coach. In 2007, their youngest son Dane was given the diagnosis of the gift of PDD-NOS, an Autism Spectrum Disorder. This journey gives her a unique perspective on the needs of the parent by way of spiritual and emotional support, but also on how to disciple children who see the world in such a different way. Always eager to share their story of miracles, trials, and blessings, Alica and husband Tom have led breakout sessions at events like the Joni and Friends Summit and Orange Conference.\nOriginally trained as a teacher and coach, Tom Parsons is in the advertising industry, leading several sales leaders who help brands connect with customers in several forms of digital mass media. He serves on a board at the Baylor Hankamer School of Business and connects with others through LinkedIn and Twitter (@AdProfessorTom) to build sales, advertising, and leadership cultures, as well as recruit. Tom and his wife Alica have four teenage children, including Dane, who has Autism. Tom and his family serve in various volunteer roles at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas.\nMeaghan has served as the pastoral leader of special needs at Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, since 2006. She has a passion for families affected by special needs and enjoys helping churches across the country catch the vision of special needs ministry. She has a degree in social work from Texas Tech University and a master in Christian leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary. Meaghan has an amazing husband, Michael, and two incredibly cute little boys, Jackson and Grayson, who are the loves of her life. Meaghan is best described by a sign in her office that reads: Jesus, Dr. Pepper, and Texas Tech.\nAs a church body, we need to lead with grace\u2014which means dropping all assumptions when a kid walks in the door. Click To TweetEvery church will have someone with special needs walk in their doors eventually and how you respond matters. Click To TweetParents will tell you things on social media that they will never tell you face to face. Click To Tweet\n1. Feeling awkward isn\u2019t a reason to not engage.\nSpecial needs ministry can be messy. Sometimes you\u2019ll have no idea why a kid is doing what he\u2019s doing. Sometimes you won\u2019t know what to say to a hurting parent. Sometimes you might even worry if you\u2019re choosing words that are politically correct. When we feel confused or unsure of ourselves, that\u2019s when we want to hide. But don\u2019t let feeling awkward or \u201cnot educated enough\u201d to be an excuse for not approaching special needs families in your midst. After all, a big smile and an attitude that conveys you\u2019re eager to help will go a long way\u2014even if inwardly you feel clueless.\n2. Special needs ministry extends beyond Sunday.\nIn her interview, Meaghan said, \u201cparents will tell you things on social media that they will never tell you face to face.\u201d And it\u2019s true! In the rush of the Sunday routine, you won\u2019t always get to hear what the families you see in your hallways are experiencing the rest of the week. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to engage with them elsewhere. Follow them on social media. Offer to meet them at the park for a play date. Or just give them a call mid-week to see how they\u2019re doing.\n3. It\u2019s okay to not have all the answers.\nThere\u2019s nothing cookie-cutter about special needs ministry. Every kid, student, and parent has their own set of emotional, developmental, and spiritual needs. As you minister among a myriad of family dynamics and diagnoses, it\u2019s impossible for you to have an answer for every concern or question a parent has. So as you dive in and get to know your families, don\u2019t feel like you need to provide all the answers. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to just be present, give a listening ear, or send baked goods.\nOutside weekend programming, what\u2019s one way we can encourage special needs families in our church this week?\nHow can we encourage volunteer leaders to learn how to best connect with kids on their level and in the ways they communicate?\nWhat\u2019s the current experience of special needs families who are first-time guests at our church? What\u2019s something we can do to continually improve this experience?",

Here we establish a model of pathogen-contaminated food avoidance using the nematode worm Caernorhabditis elegans. We find that avoidance of pathogen-contaminated food protects C. elegans from the deleterious effects of infection and, using genetic approaches, demonstrate that multiple sensory neurons are required for this avoidance behaviour. In addition, our results reveal that avoidance of contaminated food requires bacterial adherence to non-neuronal cells in the tail of C. elegans that are also required for the cellular immune response. Previous studies in C. elegans have contributed significantly to our understanding of molecular and cellular basis of host-pathogen interactions and our model provides a unique opportunity to gain basic insights into how animals avoid contaminated food.\nGenetic analysis of post-developmental Rho GTPase signaling: identification and characterization of Rho signaling pathways required during the C. elegans immune response.

        "raw_content": "< backHome / Magazine / Archives / Spring 2018 / Wild & Free\n50 Years of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.\nHere on the northern edge of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, we sit perched on the headwaters of the continent. The mighty Missouri, Green, Yellowstone, and Snake river systems all originate within this landscape, and while the headwaters of these great rivers all flow from a highly-protected block of public land, only one of the four\u2014the Snake River headwaters\u2014is protected under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.\nThis year, on October 2, 2018, the Act will turn 50. A number of local streams are eligible for designation under the Act, and a lot of people in southwest Montana are working to make that happen. But before we can celebrate the Act\u2019s future, we need to understand its past.\nPresident Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act into law in 1968, but the effort that ultimately got us there started much earlier\u2014and right here in Bozeman. The 1950s and 1960s were the zenith of the big dam-building era in our country, and a number of proposed dams drew the attention of Montanans, including the Spruce Park dam on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River, in what is now the Great Bear Wilderness.\nThis dam, which would have been built by the Army Corps of Engineers, was to be a mirror of the Hungry Horse Dam one drainage south on the South Fork of the Flathead River. It would have backed up the Middle Fork some 11 miles, and was just one of nearly a half-dozen such dams proposed for the upper Flathead River system.\nThe Spruce Park proposal caught the attention of John and Frank Craighead, well-known wildlife biologists and conservationists, who might be best known for their pioneering work on grizzly bears in Greater Yellowstone. The Craighead brothers led the fight against the Spruce Park dam, and in 1957, John Craighead first proposed the idea of a federally protected system of \u201cwild rivers\u201d at a conference at Montana State University.\nJohn and Frank would go on to publicize the need to protect wild rivers; a decade later, they were at the forefront of getting the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act passed, along with Interior Secretary Stewart Udall and senators Frank Church (D-Idaho), Gaylord Nelson (D-Wisconsin), Lee Metcalf (D-Montana), and Rep. John Saylor (R-Pennsylvania).\nThe Craighead family\u2019s ties to Montana remain strong. Lance Craighead, executive director of the Craighead Institute in Bozeman, reflects that even though the brothers tend to be more well-known for their work as wildlife biologists, \u201cmy father Frank and uncle John always considered the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to be one of the greatest conservation achievements that they contributed to in their lifetimes.\u201d\nLance recalls that the two brothers\u2019 river ethic started while canoeing the Potomac River, when they witnessed the degradation of rivers in the East. This awareness and concern grew during their many raft trips down wild rivers in the West after World War II. As with many modern-day river runners and anglers who fall in love with the waters they ply, these experiences turned into a desire to protect those rivers. \u201cAs kids, we grew up floating wild rivers with Dad and Uncle John,\u201d recalls Lance. \u201cThanks to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, countless generations of other kids are able to do the same.\u201d\nThe Act Today\nMontana currently ranks seventh in the nation with a total of 368 Wild and Scenic river miles, about the same as New Jersey and Pennsylvania. We have four designated rivers: the Upper Missouri River through the Breaks, and the North, Middle, and South Forks of the Flathead River. This amounts to about 0.2% of the 170,000 river miles in Montana. According to the National Inventory of Dams, which is maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers, Montana currently has 2,960 dams. Montana hasn\u2019t had a new Wild and Scenic River designated since 1976. Meanwhile, our neighbors in Wyoming, Idaho, and Utah added a combined 900 miles of new Wild and Scenic rivers in 2009 alone. Clearly, the balance between conservation and development intended by Congress when it passed the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act 50 years ago has not yet been struck.\nThere are, however, a growing number of people in Montana working to change that. In December 2017, the bipartisan East Rosebud Wild and Scenic Act (S.501) passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent, and was introduced in the House. The East Rosebud bill would protect 20 miles of the stream as it flows through public land off the Beartooth Plateau, and has been championed by the broad-based local coalition known as the Friends of East Rosebud Creek, which includes virtually every rancher, business owner, and resident in the area.\nIn addition to East Rosebud Creek being on the cusp of becoming Montana\u2019s next Wild and Scenic River, the state-based coalition, Montanans for Healthy Rivers, currently has over 1,000 Montana businesses and over 2,000 citizens endorsing its proposal to designate 42 new Wild and Scenic streams on public lands in the Crown of the Continent and Greater Yellowstone ecosystems.\nIn 2014 and 2016, bipartisan statewide polls on river issues in Montana found that three-quarters of Montanans support the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and two-thirds of Montanans support designating more Wild and Scenic rivers in the state. Furthermore, 85% of Montanans think that \u201crivers are highly important to our economy and way of life,\u201d and nearly nine out of ten voters would like to see the number of protected rivers in Montana maintained or increased. Support for protecting Montana\u2019s wild rivers is overwhelming, regardless of ideology, party affiliation, gender, age, or geographic region.\nMontana\u2019s business community is taking note of rivers, as well. Business for Montana\u2019s Outdoors (BFMO) conducted a survey that polled 200 businesses from every county in Montana, to find out opinions and perspectives on the connections between our outdoors, outdoor way of life, and the economy. Nearly three-quarters of business owners said that we can protect land and water and have a strong economy at the same time, and 70% claimed that the \u201cMontana outdoor lifestyle\u201d was a key factor in deciding to locate or expand their business in Montana.\n\u201cMontanans and Montana businesses are clearly connected to their environment, whether we\u2019re talking about an outdoor recreation business, a manufacturer, a marketer, or someone in the tech industry,\u201d explains BFMO\u2019s Marne Hayes. \u201cPeople are in Montana for our landscapes and waterways, for the value that those things bring to them personally, and for how they contribute to the culture of their business.\u201d\nThen there is the science behind the roles that wild rivers play for humans, fish, and wildlife in our changing and developing world. In many arid regions of the West, the writing is on the wall, and tough choices must be made\u2014and made soon. Scott Bosse of American Rivers in Bozeman explains the urgency: \u201cGiven how climate change is rapidly shrinking our snowpack and the West is one of the fastest-growing regions of the country, I think we\u2019re going to see a lot more dams and other water development projects proposed in Montana over the coming decades. That\u2019s why we need to act now to protect our highest-value free-flowing rivers. It will be too late if we wait any longer.\u201d\nWhat does this mean for local rivers, you might ask? While Montana is sure to receive more riverside development in the future, and likely more dams as well, favorite streams like the Gallatin, upper Yellowstone, upper Madison, and Smith rivers all have local groups pushing for their protection. Kristin Gardner from the Gallatin River Task Force in Big Sky sums up the reason behind this interest: \u201cBecause of the Gallatin River, we not only live here, we thrive here\u2014as individuals and as a community\u2026 Wild and Scenic protection would ensure that the necessary recognition and planning is in place to secure the long-term health of these irreplaceable resources for generations to come.\u201d\n\u201cPeople are passionate about their local streams,\u201d adds Charles Drimal of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, which is working with Montanans for Healthy Rivers. \u201cIn communities like Livingston, Gardiner, Bozeman, and Big Sky, where rivers are just as much a cultural identity as a hydrological force, people want to see iconic rivers like the Yellowstone and Gallatin protected.\u201d\nThe Future of Wild Rivers\nPublic lands and rivers, along with our nation\u2019s system of national parks and preserves, have been called \u201cour best idea.\u201d In southwest Montana, we are fortunate enough to live this every day. But not everyone in this country is quite so fortunate. So, how do we maintain support nationwide for this \u201cbest\u201d idea?\nOne way is to keep wild rivers relevant through stories. River stories are one of the most treasured cultural traditions in the outdoor world. Whether you\u2019re spinning a yarn about that time you failed to properly tie down the raft and had to chase it downstream; when Grandpa almost landed a fish this big; when Liz swam the Kitchen Sink in April without spilling her beer; or when a bear loved the smell of frying bacon in the river kitchen a little too much\u2014one and all, these river stories capture and spread the wildness that protected rivers help to maintain in our lives.\nIn celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, the national nonprofits American Rivers and American Whitewater have teamed up with a number of outdoor gear companies to create 5,000 Miles of Wild. Their goal is to collect 5,000 wild-river stories and to protect 5,000 more miles of such rivers nationwide.\nFor many of us, what we love about protecting certain wild rivers is legacy. \u201cThe legacy of river protection under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act will serve not only everyone today who cherishes our remaining natural rivers, but all the generations to come in an era when the values of our free-flowing streams will become increasingly evident,\u201d says river author Tim Palmer, who recently spoke in Bozeman and Big Sky. This is not to say that it will be easy. Our public lands and rivers are under attack, and it\u2019s going to take a lot more people getting involved to protect them\u2014outdoor recreationists, homeowners, farmers and ranchers, and businesses from every sector. We Americans are learning that conservation is difficult, and protection is not necessarily permanent, unless we all stand up for our wild lands and rivers. Wild rivers, fortunately, are one thing that almost all of us love and understand to be important and necessary. To put it simply, says Lance Craighead: \u201cWe need more of them.\u201d\nWhat will that require, you might ask? At 97, John Craighead\u2019s words from 2013 still ring true: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t require much more than having Congress understand how important those rivers are to all Americans. They\u2019re about American as American can be.\u201d\nMike Fiebig spends his time chasing water in all forms as a longtime outdoor educator and river guide, as well as trying to protect some of it along the way as associate director for the Northern Rockies office of American Rivers.",

I eventually wrote three books on British and Commonwealth Warship Camouflage WWII and they have now all been published by Seaforth books in conjunction with Pen and Sword and the US Naval Institute Press. It was a hell of a job putting it all together. Counting the illustrations I have saved for my next book...or two....I completed over 3,000 colour illustrations in three years. Is it any wonder I am knackered and taking a break?\nI'm happy to report that all of them were best sellers. But book 2 on battleships, broke the company record by having to be reprinted within six months of its release. Book 3 sales are still not fully known as it was only released in October, but they have already sold over half the print run, so that's positive!\nNow I have decided to take a rest for a while and get around to doing some wargames. Its been a long break indeed. But I may do the fourth book toward the end of this year...unless I am having too much fun back wargaming again! And yes...I have been doing SOME naval wargaming, but for a more complete break I am now doing some WW2 land as well.

Program services range from summer workshops that have served 1,300 middle school girls to a living-learning residential program that has been home for more than 1,000 first- and second- year undergraduate women; from a summer research program aimed at encouraging women to undertake graduate studies in science and engineering to a peer mentoring network for women graduate students. The WISE program has made a significant impact in the recruitment and retention of women in SME fields. For example, UM engineering undergraduate enrollment of women increased from 17 percent in 1980 to 32 percent in 1999. In 1980, only 18 percent of the science and mathematics degrees awarded by UM went to women.

        "raw_content": "Twila Paris - Perennial: Songs For The Seasons Of Life\nTwila Paris is a Christian music mainstay. It doesn't matter how many new female artists arrive upon the Christian music scene, and there have been plenty, Twila Paris seems to have a staying power all her own. Nothing proves this better than her latest release, Perennial: Songs For The Seasons Of Life.\nFans of Paris' more pop-oriented projects such as Beyond A Dream and Where I Stand will probably be a little disappointed in Perennial. On the other hand, fans of Sanctuary will most likely rejoice, for Paris has chosen to craft her latest project as it's sequel. More accurately, the second in the Sanctuary Series. Presumably, there are more to come.\nDesigned by Paris and producer, Brown Bannister more for personal worship than for corporate worship, Perennial shines on every track, each song different in texture from the next and organic in nature. Paris chose carefully for her material on this project, mixing new songs with new renditions of some of her previous work and throwing in a few hymns in for good measure.\nThe album begins with a throbbing yet peaceful new Paris tune, \"We Seek His Face\" and leads into a gentle rendition of Paris' classic, \"Father We Are Here.\" Newly recorded hymns on the project include an orchestral rendition of \"Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing\", a simple acoustic-styled \"Be Thou My Vision\", the Celtic-themed \"Amazing Grace\" and a flawlessly smooth \"When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder.\" The entire project winds up with the new Paris instrumental composition, \"Perennial,\" which seems to somehow summarize the entire project without resorting to using a single word. Classical in nature, \"Perennial\" begins with soft and simple strains and somehow finds itself building into an anthem, coming back down to a soft theme just before it ends.\nParis' crystal clear voice is in fine form for this project and she puts it to good use, singing many of her own background vocals with seamless perfection in addition to her usual pristine lead vocal performance.\nThe entire project is laced with both full orchestra and string quartet arrangements as well as a full choir and a boys choir. Instrumentally, acoustic guitar and piano are the most prevalent. Despite the different origins of the songs on the album (new Paris songs, new versions of older Paris songs, and old hymns recorded in a new way) the execution of Paris' vision for an album that can be used for personal worship pulls it all together into one unified package, each song peacefully transcending into the next.\nIf you're zooming down the freeway on an evening road trip, you might want to put in some Eric Champion to stay awake. But if you're gathering yourself together for some personal worship early in the morning before you go to work or right at sunset while unwinding with the Lord after a long day at work, you can't go wrong with Perennial.\nLong live the Sanctuary Series.",

        "raw_content": "Amherst College created America's first Department of Physical Culture (1860). During the late 1880's others were established at numerous colleges and universities. Until the early 1900's, \"gymnastics\" predominated. The most popular forms were German gymnastics (which utilized parallel bars, vaulting horse, and other equipment essential in Turnverein activities) and Swedish gymnastics (originated by Per Henrik Ling)\nThe Swedish form of gymnastics was considered best adjusted to the body's anatomical structures and most appropriate for females. The \"system\" designed by Dudley Allen Sargent, M. D., Director of the Harvard Gymnasium also was used.\nBerkeley's \"required program\" for male students combined aspects of the German system with Sargent's. Classes for women students drew largely, but not exclusively, from the Swedish system. Various forms of \"calisthenics\" have remained an important part of the curriculum (for example, today Aerobic Circuit Training is very popular).\nAt Berkeley in 1915, Frank Kleeberger, director of the newly created separate Department of Physical Education for Men, announced an expanded curriculum. Jiu-jitsu was one of four \"defense\" activities that now would be offered to male students. Judo was part of the curriculum by the 1930's. Interest in Eastern forms philosophy and physical activities grew considerably in the 1960's. Most curricular sports had become co-educational by the 1970's. Since 1969, Berkeley's martial arts offerings have become recognized as the most outstanding in the nation and in many ways, in the world. Among the many classes presently offered to students by the Physical Education Program are Taekwondo, Judo, and Kumdo. The large, impressive, and popular UC Martial Arts Program, created and sustained by the Physical Education Program's faculty, presently includes nine different martial arts.\nConditioning 1920\u0092s\nGymnastics, Balance Beam - Hearst Mining Memorial Building Early 1900\u0092s\nMen\u0092s Gym Class circa 1911 in front of South Hall during the construction of the Campanile (Sather Tower)\nJudo - Harmon Gym 1950\u0092s\nKarate - Hearst Gym 1970\u0092s\nWomen\u0092s Stunt Tumbling - 220 Hearst Gym 1940\u0092s\nWomen\u0092s Tumbling (Gymnastics) class - 220 Hearst Gym Late 1940\u0092s\nWomen\u0092s Tumbling (Gymnastics) class.

(whew! dodged a bullet there.)\ni wanted to show a picture we took. it's priceless because it shows all three of my kids getting along and doing the same thing at one time.\nok, ok, ok. so sure, they JUST happen to be sleeping at the time, but still, they weren't fighting. i'll take what i can get. you gotta problem with that?\nLabels: birthday cake, family, quilt",

In this context, the recent advents of x-ray lensless imaging methods, based on Bragg coherent diffraction, have opened promising perspectives [1] filling the gap between direct microscopies (AFM, SEM, TEM) and reciprocal-space based x-ray Bragg diffraction analysis.\n3D Bragg ptychography microscopy [2] is a coherent diffraction imaging method developed at third generation synchrotron sources, and which merges concepts developed in inverse microscopy and crystallography. This modality is based on the acquisition of far-field Bragg coherent intensity patterns ; It exploits the partially redundant information obtained by scanning a finite beam spot size transversally to the sample, while measuring the corresponding 3D far-field intensity diffraction pattern by scanning angularly the sample along the rocking curve. Instead of lenses, numerical tools are employed to retrieve the phase of the field, which is lost during intensity measurements [3]. The back-propagation of the field gives access to the complex-valued sample scattering contrast. Thereby, truly quantitative information is obtained, such as the crystalline displacement field, from which the 3D strain component and crystalline plane rotations can be derived, with nanoscale spatial resolution. 3D imaging of extended crystalline samples is then possible [2, 4], opening Bragg coherent diffraction microscopy to a large range of applications.\nIn this presentation, the general concepts of Bragg ptychography will be first detailed, illustrated by recently proposed developments [2-7]. We will further describe how Bragg ptychography can be exploited to bring new insights on a specific class of materials, the biominerals, which are characterized by a complex hierarchical crystalline structure. Perspectives with respects to the understanding of the biomineralization mechanisms will be finally presented [8].\nThis project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union\u2019s Horizon H2020 research and innovation program grant agreement No 695093.\n[1] M.

        "raw_content": "Ridge: I fought raising security level before '04 vote\nFormer Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge says he successfully countered an effort by senior Bush administration officials to raise the nation's terror alert level.\nWASHINGTON (CNN) - Former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge says he successfully countered an effort by senior Bush administration officials to raise the nation's terror alert level in the days before the 2004 presidential vote.\n\"An election-eve drama was being played out at the highest levels of our government\" after Osama bin Laden released a pre-election message critical of President Bush, writes Ridge in his new book, The Test of Our Times.\nAttorney General John Ashcroft and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld strongly advocated raising the security threat level to \"orange\" \u2013 even though Ridge believed a threatening message \"should not be the sole reason to elevate the threat level.\"\nFrances Townsend, a former Homeland Security advisor to President Bush and now a CNN contributor, denied politics played any role in the request to raise the threat level.\n\"There was a debate,\" Townsend said on CNN's The Situation Room Thursday. \"Tom Ridge wasn't the only person in that meeting who suggested that the terror alert shouldn't be raised. At no time was there any discussion of politics at that meeting. And the president was made a recommendation, a consensus recommendation from the council that he accepted, not to raise the terror alert.\"\nThe former Pennsylvania governor also writes that he saw no reason for the move \u2013 which he now calls a bad idea - because additional security precautions had already been taken in the run-up to the election. \"We certainly didn't believe the tape alone warranted action, and we weren't seeing any additional intelligence that justified it. In fact, we were incredulous,\" he said of the push. \"\u2026I wondered, 'Is this about security or politics?'\"\nThe idea that an attack might take place had been discussed, he says. \"But at this point there was nothing to indicate a specific threat and no reason to cause undue public alarm\u2026 It also seemed possible to me and to others around the table that something could be afoot other than simple concern about the country's safety.\"\nIn the end, the threat level was not raised.\nAccording to 2004 exit polls, one in five voters said terrorism was the most important issue to them. Of those, 86 percent voted for Bush, 14 percent for Kerry.\nRidge said that he had mixed emotions about the incident at the time, and that after it ended, he knew he had to follow through on his plans to leave the government.\nHe also writes that the White House added language praising the president to an August 2004 statement on a newly-discovered terror threat \u2013 and that he believes he should have delivered the warning as written, and pretended that he had accidentally left out the new wording.\n\"I should have known better,\" writes Ridge, calling the incident one of his few regrets related to his time in public service.\nFiled under: Extra \u2022 Homeland Security \u2022 Tom Ridge",

        "raw_content": "Designing Interactivity was one of my first adventures into teaching. I quickly discovered, doing and teaching are not as closely related as one might think. My whole intent, my whole philosophy of design is connecting humans to humans, not connecting humans to technology. I found myself asking, how does one teach a very technical skill and not lose sight of the end goal? How can a professor share his or her knowledge gathered over decades in 3 hours a week? The answers have been slowly coming to light: hour by hour, class by class.\nDemonstrating how communication technology can help others offered me the ability to bring humanity back to the center of class. I would reference and dissect online campaigns and applications that brought life to communities and offered a voice to the voiceless. This is the reason to learn, this is the motivation.\nAs I stumbled forward I found decimating information, especially technical information, had to be a step-by-step process, achieved by meticulous attention to detail and massive preparation. I had never done that and I had no idea how to, but I made it work. I prepared the best I could and made myself very available to students. I was transparent in that my first class knew I worked diligently and with heart, teaching to the best of my ability.\nAt the end of that first semester I had found a new respect for teachers: I had no idea what it took, but I do now. I\u2019m better for knowing and so are my students. Some good work came out of that class, such as the Jerk Magazine WordPress theme.\nTaught course twice early in my time at Newhouse.\nThe overall goal for the course is to teach basic techniques and technologies to create a website.\nA mix of juniors, seniors and graduate students.\nTechnology taught: CSS, HTML, ActionScript, Adobe flash and Dreamweaver.\nLearn what it takes to have a successful web experience. Explore core design concepts and their applications to interactive design.\nDevelop the skills necessary to bring your ideas to life, the nuts and bolts of web design, including basic understanding of HTML, CSS, XML, jQuery, MySQL, PHP, Flash & Dreamweaver.\nHelp guide users to connect with information in a useful and intuitive way.",

        "raw_content": "Progressive Stamping helps customer avoid missed delivery dates\nProgressive Stamping has had many successful customer relationships. One such relationship involves a computer industry company. This company had a new product ready for market but was having quality issues with a sub-assembly involving several metal stampings in it.\nAnother stamping shop had tooled up to make these parts but had difficulties providing this computer company with the quality that they needed. This quality issue was preventing the company from delivering their new product to the market place, after having already invested a large sum of money in it. They came to us, Progressive Stamping, for help.\nTheir request was that we redesign the stampings to resolve the quality issues without modifying the rest of the product. We were able to meet this request, redesigning the stamped parts in a way that fit their existing sub-assembly with no other modifications. Within a short period of time, we provided them with prototypes for testing.\nUsing these simple solutions, we were able to aid in resolving their quality issues. We then went on to build the tooling required for the production of their new product and the company was soon delivering successfully to its customers.\nIf your company is missing delivery dates because of poor quality vendor provided parts, please contact us.\nPreventative maintenance program provides 10 years of parts delivery with no failures\nProgressive Stamping has been an asset to many companies. A prime example involves a company which sells parts to the energy industry. One of the metal stamped parts this company required was being produced in another stamping shop using their own tooling. This company\u2019s tooling, however, was not being maintained by the shop using it.\nThis stamping shop damaged the die in a short amount of time and then proceeded to charge the customer for the necessary repairs. Shortly after that, the stamping shop damaged the die again, even more severely, but would not take the due responsibility. The company then came to us.\nWe discussed our preventive maintenance program with them and offered a packaging solution that saved the company a significant amount of time at their facility. Since this time, we have been successfully producing their metal stamped parts for approximately 10 years with no failures.\nIf your company is experiencing line down time, added expenses, or missed delivery dates due to the lack of attention of a part vendor, please contact us.",

        "title": "Top Ten Ends of the World - Psycho Drive-In",
        "raw_content": "Daniel Elkin, Jamil Scalese, Nick Hanover, Paul Brian McCoy, Zack Davisson\nTop Ten Ends of the World\nThe day marked off by the Mayans as the End of the World.\nThe day that loonies and fruitcakes the world over are planning on taking to the hills with their survival rations, guns, and bibles. The day people are trying to get custody of their kids for the weekend, just in case. The day that maybe the poles are going to flip, or maybe meteors will rain down upon us, or maybe aliens from another dimension will invade, or maybe Billy Crystal and Bette Midler will team-up to make a family comedy! \u2013 Oh wait. That\u2019s Christmas day.\nMaybe this End of the World thing ain\u2019t so bad after all.\nTo help prove that point, the Comics Bulletin staff have gathered in the CB Bunker and compiled our Top Ten Ends of the World across mediums. We\u2019ve got comics, cartoons, movies, games, and a special look at zombie apocalypses in general!\nFirst, a song.\nSo without further ado (because frankly, we may not have much time left!) here we go!\nAdventure Time (Created by Pendleton Ward \u2013 2010-Present)\nThere\u2019s a reason everyone fears Armageddon, it\u2019s like way scary.\nLook at the other entries on this list, there is no way you\u2019d trade your posh lifestyle to deal with zombies, ravaged cityscapes or motorcycle gangs that scavenge the world for gasoline (That movie made the list, right?). Yet, not every end of the world scenario brings with it death and mayhem, and that\u2019s the case with the favorite cartoon of the Comics Bulletin staff everyone: Adventure Time!\nFollowing Finn and his stretchy dog Jake, this tale of magic and friendship is actually set in a world once ravaged by nuclear war. While Pendleton Ward\u2019s smash hit never explicitly mentions the death of billions, the references to \u201cThe Great Mushroom War\u201d along with the occasional glimpse of a crumbling city full of skeletons or a cratered Earth-like globe point to the fact that humans blew themselves up a long time ago.\nNo reason to worry, though; magic took over, and now the Land of Ooo is pretty much the most algebraic place one can wish to be. I\u2019m all about our impending doom if it means I can possibly chill out with Ice King and Gunter.\n\u2014 Jamil Scalese\nCabin in the Woods (Directed by Drew Goddard \u2013 2011)\nSomewhere in the coldest corner of my nihilistic little heart, the part that occasionally longs for a massive meteor strike or a new ice age, I\u2019m always a little let down when movie apocalypses are averted at the last minute. So imagine my surprise when at the climax of Cabin in the Woods [SPOILER WARNING!!] our sole survivors decide that lighting up a joint, watching the world die, and starting over from scratch was the correct response to continuing lives of slavery to Elder Gods.\nI giggled like a fool.\nSure, it was selfish and completely counter to that classic \u201cThe good of the many outweighs the good of the few\u201d nugget, but you know what? The high road is not always the road worth traveling. This is especially true when we\u2019re talking about a social structure with a foundation built on control, order, and the ritualized sacrifice of the unwilling or unwitting.\nAnd I\u2019m not just talking about a fantasy universe shared by all of our celluloid horrors, although that makes watching it come to pass all the more entertaining. And that\u2019s without even attempting to address the inherent symbolism of the film, which, it can be argued, identifies the Elder Gods with the viewing audience and the ritual sacrifice of the five kids with a symbolic social purging of violent impulses in more and more graphic cinematic extremes.\nSometimes you have to wipe the slate clean before any lasting fix can be implemented and it was refreshing as hell to see that option chosen instead of half-measures or a deus ex machina saving of the day.\nFallout (Interplay/Black Isle/Bethesda/Obsidian \u2013 1997-Present)\nThe \u201950s was a golden era for sci-fi, defined by an overwhelmingly optimistic hope for the potential of the future in one camp and a bleakly fatalist view of the future in the other, both driven to these ends by atomic energy, that Prometheus-like fire of the gods. But those two ends of that era of classic sci-fi is too infrequently married, or at least not to the insightfully clever extent that the Fallout series has managed since it debuted in 1997.\nA descendant of sorts of the influential late \u201980s PC game Wasteland, the world of Fallout is our world, if all our dreams in the \u201950s of the world of today had come true, only to be ruined shortly after by nuclear war between the US and China. It\u2019s a world where humanity lives in pockets of sort-of societies and aggressive gangs, with just a few major players gunning for power and control of a very limited sort. And in every main iteration of the series, you play as a \u201cvault dweller,\u201d an inhabitant of one of the many titular Vaults in the game, locations that served as part fallout shelter/part grand social experiment.\nAlong the way, you of course run into the kinds of creatures we\u2019re used to in post-apocalyptic fiction\u2013 raiders, mutants, zombies. Except they\u2019ve all been given twists\u2013 the raiders are often closer to tribes than generic assholes, the mutants are genetically modified super soldiers that are part of an insidious plot by a mad scientist, and the zombies are \u201cghouls,\u201d survivors of the initial nuclear bombings who often aren\u2019t hostile at all, just regular people with full personalities who just happen to look a little fucked up.\nFallout is a true role playing game, in that you must inhabit the story and carefully decide your next action, as every decision has an impact, but it\u2019s also fully immersive, the kind of world that is terrible and cruel but also entirely captivating. It\u2019s also post-apocalyptic fiction at its finest, imaginative and self-aware, willing to have fun with its setting and drop jokes as frequently as it drops horrors, all the more impressive given that it\u2019s part of a medium that often deemphasizes story in favor of tech advancement.\n\u2014 Nick Hanover\nFear Agent (Rick Remender, Tony Moore, and Jerome Opena \u2013 2005-2011)\nOnce you get into the antihero main character, giant brain monsters, alien warfare, time police, rocket ships and an ex-wife turned President, it might easy to forget that Fear Agent starts with the end of the world.\nWell, not the complete end of course, otherwise we would never have had the pleasure of meeting Heath Huston, a heavy-drinking space exterminator with a grudge against everything. After a whole mess of alien races demolish Earth, the grieving Heath helps to create the Fear Agents, a brigade of freedom fighters with a lovely color scheme.\nThroughout much of Rick Remender, Tony Moore and Jerome Opena\u2019s classic sci-fi adventure story, Heath is a brooding smartass, but the unlikely hero was an innocent Texan family man before he was a space misanthrope. In the face of unspeakable tragedy, Heath transforms himself into something more efficient, and we the reader are rewarded with the cosmic journey of a cynical badass with a penchant for calling people \u201cbuttermilk\u201d.\nSo don\u2019t fret. If the end comes in the form of extraterrestrial invasion there is a chance a select few of will splinter off, defend our planet and eventually commit genocide with a giant tanker truck of slugkiller juice. Hope springs eternal and all that junk.\nThe Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy (Written by Douglas Adams \u2013 1979)\nAlthough disguised in quirky characters and clever dialog, The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy is ultimately about nihilism\u2014and the End of the World.\nIn fact, Douglas Adams is not content to merely blow up the Earth\u2014which he does in the first few pages\u2014he recreates the Earth and destroys it again, designs a race of whose sole purpose is to wipe out all existent life, and even blows up the entire Universe for your dining pleasure. Adams can\u2019t seem to view the Universe as something more than a giant mistake that needs to be cleared up, as evidenced in God\u2019s Final Message to His Creation\u2014\u201cI apologize for the inconvenience.\u201d\nThis shouldn\u2019t be a real surprise, because The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy got its start in a nihilistic way. The original radio series (you do know the series started as a radio play, right? The books came later.) was from a proposal for a series called The Ends of the Earth that would feature short, self-contained radio plays each that ended with the destruction of the Earth in a new and interesting manner. Adams\u2019 first (and only) contribution was a story of the Earth being destroyed, along with its 9 billion inhabitants, to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Nothing personal, humans. Just bureaucracy.\nThe story grew in the telling, but Adams never quite got over that idea that the world would be a better place if we were all wiped out. In The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, he shows us Milleyways, where people gather for a last toast and buffet at the End of All Things. In Life, the Universe, and Everything, there are the Krikkit warriors, a polite and gentle race dedicating to eliminating all life in the Universe, just because they are feeling a bit crowded. That book also includes a computer that designed a Universe-destroying bomb, and then was aghast when it realized that people actually intended to use it. And of course, his gloomiest and most cynical book of all, Mostly Harmless, where not only are all of those quirky characters killed off, but an insane piece of technology actually goes through the multiverse and destroys all possible versions of the Earth, then cauterizes the wound in such a way that the human race can never rise again.\nAnd that\u2019s the final page.\nDouglas Adams was clearly not a man who had high expectations for the continued existence of the human race.\nThe Rapture (Directed by Michael Tolkin \u2013 1991)\nI was 24 years old or so when I first saw The Rapture and I wasn\u2019t sure what I was getting into; all I knew was that Mimi Rogers was hot and there was a fair amount of kinky sex involved. Imagine my surprise when Rogers\u2019 bored, orgy-addicted telephone operator decides that empty sex isn\u2019t filling her emotional void. Imagine my further surprise when she embraces a fundamentalist, cult-like Christian sect that believes the Apocalypse is coming (as they tend to do). What I thought was going to be a Red Shoes Diary sort of thing (it even featured David Duchovny, who would make his name as a Red Shoes Diary regular over the next few years) turned out to be a daring exploration of faith and submission to authority.\nAfter starting a life in the Church, marrying Duchovny, and having a child, Rogers\u2019 character Sharon then has everything taken away from her and blames God. First her husband is murdered by a disgruntled employee and then after waiting for the Rapture in the desert, she kills her daughter rather than let her die slowly and painfully from exposure. She then confesses to the murder and goes to jail.\nThen the Rapture occurs. D\u2019oh!\nBut, in a move that made me love this film unconditionally, she refuses to renounce her anger at God for His cruelty, even after being bribed with the promise of being reunited with her husband and daughter in Heaven in exchange for her submission. Therefore, she is left alone in an empty Purgatory as the credits roll in silence.\nAs someone who had been reading Camus and Sartre since I stumbled across them during my senior year of high school, writer/director Michael Tolkin\u2019s film was a powerful existential statement that explored ideas of power and freedom that I\u2019d been obsessing over as only a twenty-something wannabe philosopher could. Mimi Rogers alone in the darkness was a striking image of resistance and freedom that still resonates with me more than twenty years later.\nThe Road (Written by Cormac McCarthy \u2013 2006)\nAs someone with two degrees in Literature, I have an embarrassing confession to make. I haven\u2019t read anything by American literary treasure Cormac McCarthy except for The Road, so I couldn\u2019t tell you anything about how this fits into his overall oeuvre, or if it continues and builds on themes of his other work or not.\nWhat I can tell you is that if you want a brutal, depressing exploration of the love between a father and son against a backdrop of nuclear ash, cannibalism, and loss of faith. The story itself is pared down to the bare bones, as characters called only \u201cthe father\u201d or \u201cthe man\u201d and \u201cthe son\u201d or \u201cthe boy\u201d make a long, painful trek south to the sea, hoping to avoid the coming winter. The details of the journey are heartbreaking as we watch \u201cthe man\u201d slowly realize that he\u2019s dying and \u201cthe boy\u201d begins to doubt that they\u2019re \u201cthe good guys\u201d.\nI\u2019m not going to go into the symbolism or spend a lot of time on the story as a metaphor for the loss and discovery of faith in God. That stuff is in there if you want to look for it, and part of what makes the work resonate the way it does. But it also functions on a straight-forward horror level as the two protagonists flee from a cannibal gang (expending one of their final two bullets in the horrifying escape), or discover a group of people being held in a disgusting basement and harvested for food, or the nightmarish glimpse of a baby roasting on a spit.\nMcCarthy holds nothing back and the spare, direct style makes it all the more powerful.\nBeing the depressive bastard that I am, though, I wasn\u2019t entirely satisfied with the ending, but after over two hundred pages of such unrelenting, oppressive nihilism, I can\u2019t hold it against McCarthy to end with a hint of light. That\u2019s what helps to make it more than just a catalog of post-apocalyptic horror, really.\nIf you can make it through the darkness, you will be rewarded. I promise.\nTestament (Directed by Lynne Littman \u2013 1983)\nBoy, let me tell you, growing up in Texas in the early 80s had its share of challenges. Foremost among these, though, was the fact that everyone was doing their best to convince me that a nuclear holocaust was imminent and I should be doing everything in my teenage power to prepare for this apocalypse. Nothing spells long sessions on a therapist\u2019s couch in your future than stirring up a cocktail of hormones and genocide, a push for life combined with a fear of death. And so it was.\nIt was the Reagan years after all.\nIn December of 1983, to add further fuel to my fire-engorged nightmares, Paramount Pictures released a nice little film called Testament. The film tells a lovely little tale of the trials and tribulations of the Wetherly family. The Wetherlys lived in a suburb of San Francisco, and the film is about them as they cope with the \u201crealities\u201d of a nuclear war. Nothing about this is fun, or pleasant, or upbeat.\nMy dad took me to see Testament in the theaters. He wanted to talk to me about it afterwards over dinner. I\u2019m thinking Thai food. Remember those therapy sessions I mentioned above? Yeah, that was part of those too.\nBecause in this film the Wetherlys were a nice, white, suburban family (eep, just like my family), who, when the bombs drop, get to watch everybody die. And they weren\u2019t watching the big boom blow up \u2013 flash of light burn \u2013 kinda deaths either. No, Testament wanted you to understand that, in the event of a nuclear war, those caught in the blast were the lucky ones. Those of us in the suburbs, like the Wetherlys, got to watch as their loved ones slowly died from radiation poisoning, or watch as neighbor turned against neighbor savagely as supplies began to run low. Testament wanted you to see a mother gather her children and be forced to decide whether or not it would be better to kill them than let them live in this world.\nRemember. This was the early 80s. This shit was real. Not Zombies or Mayans or Meteors or Climate Change \u2013 Nukes. Poised to strike at any moment. Our President told us it could happen at any moment.\nSo why am I so jaded at times? Why do I try to take pleasure when I can, seemingly at the expense of either my health or my \u201cfuture\u201d? Because when I was coming of age, I was told that I might not get the opportunity to get laid or drive a car or even vote against Reagan. I was brought to Testament by my father so I could understand the realities of the world in which I was being raised.\nThat nuclear war? It hasn\u2019t happened yet, but the emotional toil that an apocalyptic film like Testament unleashed upon my generation was an end of times moment in and of itself.\n\u2014 Daniel Elkin\nThe Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (David Bowie \u2013 1972)\nFour decades ago we were treated to an end of world prophecy of a different sort, a madcap poetic fantasy from a former Dylan acolyte who had discovered there was more fun to be had in make-up and women\u2019s clothing and the cocky swagger of a glitter coated Les Paul than any Greenwhich Village co-op jams. His name was David Bowie, or Ziggy Stardust depending on the scene, and he was \u201cwell hung and snow white tan,\u201d possessed of a \u201cgod given ass,\u201d and in total control of rock\u2019s libido, an element of the music that had been in hibernation for some time. But this wasn\u2019t assets and fucking for the sake of pop, this was the desperate orgasmic clawing of end times, the thrill of giving yourself to another because you don\u2019t know what the morning brings or if there will even be one.\nYou see, according to Ziggy and his \u201cFive Years\u201d ultimatum, \u201cNews had just come over/We had five years left to cry in/News guy wept and told us/Earth was really dying.\u201d We\u2019d pillaged our natural habitat and there was nothing left to do but fuck and cry and look for leftover kicks. Bowie\u2019s alter ego may have been into that game at the onset, but in his debut and swan song, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, that same alter ego went through all the stages of grief, pushing aside Bowie\u2019s previous output in favor of an end times boogie that shows itself today in Lady Gaga, Of Montreal, LCD Soundsystem, or whatever your patron saint of choice may be. Ziggy Stardust the character and Ziggy Stardust the album are eulogies to rock as youth\u2019s drug of choice, a recognition by a legend late to the game that rock and roll had mutated and its offspring acolytes had raided the kitchen and killed the parent, that there were five years left before rock would be killed altogether by something savage and fierce and truly apocalyptic.\nBack then, Ziggy was talking visions of punk rock, which would go supernova by \u201977, and five years after that it would be hip-hop, which would stabilize itself by \u201982, five years on from there you had R.E.M.\u2019s collegiate rock taking things back away from the balls and then five years again you\u2019d have the atom bomb of Nirvana, crushing both brain and scrotum in favor of stomach bile and cancerous ennui. But 40 years on and 8 cycles later, it\u2019s tempting to strip Ziggy of his musical messiah prophecies and go back to the source, to Bowie\u2019s sci-fi obsession and his notion that we were killing our real home and opening ourselves up to some kind of anti-matter vacation paradise, the type of thing Matrixes and Atlases and so on had visualized on silver screens.\nIs our world of Twitter handles what Ziggy was talking about when he was asked to deliver status updates in short bursts of pop? Are the Starmen that let us down reality tv celebrities who don\u2019t know a platform when they see one? Is 2012 the end of the final five year deadline or the start of the end? And who will be our new Ziggy, a willing stage sacrifice who won\u2019t think twice of being torn apart in the public eye, ravaged by those in need of energy?\nZombie Apocalypse in General\nNobody knew, that fateful day in 1968 when George Romero wrapped production on his low-budget debut, Night of the Living Dead, that he was starting a horror revolution. Somehow, nobody had thought to combine the idea of the walking dead with cannibalism, but that was the spark of twisted imagination that spread like a plague. Before long the Blind Dead were walking (riding horses, actually), Children were playing with Dead Things, and the zombie apocalypse had spread from the Garden of the Dead to Manchester Morgue! Shock Waves spread to Nightmare City and Beyond after the Dawn of the Dead broke. And by the time Day had come, the Living Dead were Re-Animating, Returning, and Rampaging all around America and Europe.\nAnd that was just up through the 80s!\nFor some reason, the endless wave of walking corpses hungry for living flesh resonates in a way that practically eclipses other classic monsters in pop culture despite not being romantic or tragic or even particularly imaginative. They are simply death incarnate and cannot be argued with. They are our inevitable end, thrown in our still-breathing faces.\nAs the 80s progressed and became the 90s, the cannibal ghouls spread into video games and fiction, most notably in the Resident Evil games and the short story collections Book of the Dead (1989) and Still Dead: Book of the Dead 2 (1992). After a few years of weak film entries, effects guru Tom Savini remade Night of the Living Dead, Peter Jackson released the Kiwi splatterstick classic Braindead, Michele Soavi adapted the Italian Dylan Dog horror comics into Dellamorte, Dellamore, and Wilson Yip brought Bio Zombie to Hong Kong, providing worldwide high water marks for the end of the century.\nMaybe it was surviving Y2K, or maybe it was something radioactive in the water, but as we crossed over into a new century, the Zombie Apocalypse exploded, with the sheer volume of films, books, comics, and games surging into the marketplace (and the pop culture landscape) threatening to actually become \u2013 gasp! \u2013 mainstream! The question was could what was now a well-established genre of its own appeal to the unwashed masses without watering down the existential themes and the unapologetic gore?\nIn games, fiction, and comics, things were just as dark and disgusting as they ever were. The Resident Evil series of games has continued alongside fresh-faced youngsters like Left 4 Dead. In fiction, Brian Keene\u2019s The Rising novels took an innovative and interesting approach to the undead, and Max Brooks made his name with the tongue-through-cheek Zombie Survival Guide and the acclaimed novel World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War. David Wellington made waves by serializing his novel Monster Island online before scoring a publisher and continuing to work in the genre, while Seth Grahame-Smith mashed up Jane Austen with flesh-eating ghouls in the wildly popular Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.\nOh, and in comics, a little black and white title called The Walking Dead popped up.\nAs far as live action goes, zombie films are still being produced at an alarming rate, and while many are poorly-produced low-budget atrocities, Resident Evil has been translated into a highly successful (if critically derided) series of films, Zack Snyder remade Dawn of the Dead as a non-stop action extravaganza, and Edgar Wright crafted what might be the greatest zombie film of all time, despite ostensibly being a comedy, with Shaun of the Dead. And to be quite honest, a lot of those lower budget films have their charms as well.\nBut it\u2019s TV where the Zombie Zeitgeist has really proven to have the widest appeal with the phenomenal success of the TV adaptation of The Walking Dead. There\u2019s no way that George Romero could have imagined back in 1968, that in 2012 more viewers would be watching a Romero-inspired zombie drama, week in and week out, than ANY OTHER SCRIPTED SHOW ON TELEVISION.\nIt seems like we, as a culture, just can\u2019t get enough of death.\nNow we here in the CB Bunker are well aware that there are an endless amount of wonderful Ends of the World floating around out there (which made picking just ten a bit of a chore), so please log into the comments below and let us know which ones are your favorites!\nAdventure TimeCabin in the Woodsdaniel elkinFalloutFear AgentJamil ScalesePaul Brian McCoyTestamentThe Hitchhiker's Guide to the GalaxyThe RaptureThe RoadWe Got ListsZack DavissonZiggy Stardustzombies\nThe Vampire Diaries 4.09 \u201cO Come, All Ye Faithful\u201d",

        "raw_content": "GPP Life proudly announces the February release of ONCE A WARRIOR\u2014ALWAYS A WARRIOR: NAVIGATING THE TRANSITION FROM COMBAT TO HOME by Charles W. Hoge, M.D. / Colonel U.S. Army (Retired) (ISBN #978-0-7627-5442-7; $18.95; Paperback; February 23, 2010).\nReturning home from war can be as difficult, if not more so, than time spent serving in a combat zone. With this practical reality in mind Colonel Charles Hoge provides a groundbreaking resource with essential new insights. This book is a must-read for anyone who has ever returned home from a war zone, as well as their loved ones, friends, coworkers, and health care providers. Here, in clear easily accessible language, Dr. Hoge presents the latest knowledge about combat stress, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), mTBI (mild traumatic brain injury), other physiological reactions to war, and treatment options.\nRecognizing that everyone changes during deployment, Dr. Hoge provides ways to help warriors and their family members better understand each other\u2019s experience. His message about recognizing that combat survival skills are often viewed as \u201csymptoms\u201d back home will help anyone who wants to truly understand the experience of service members and veterans. Readers will learn how military service personnel can successfully navigate the transition from the war zone (i.e., LANDNAV for the home front)\u2014no matter how many days, months, or years have passed. Once a Warrior\u2014Always a Warrior explains how a warrior\u2019s knowledge and skills are vital for living at peace in an insane world.\nCharles W. Hoge, MD, Colonel, U.S. Army (Retired) directed the premiere U.S. research program at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research from 2002 through 2009 on the mental health and neurological effects of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He deployed to Iraq (2004) to improve combat stress care. His articles on PTSD, mTBI, and stigma, published by The New England Journal of Medicine and The Journal of the American Medical Association, are the most frequently cited medical publications from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He continues to work as a staff psychiatrist treating service members, veterans, and family members. A national expert on war-related mental health issues and traumatic brain injury, Dr. Hoge has testified to Congress and has a track record of providing articulate, engaging interviews for national news organizations. He lives in the Washington, D.C.\nTell Me About Sgt J Patrick Lamoureux\nThe double edged sword cuts both ways, it is a blessing and a curse; and oddly there is no better example of the power to both help and harm than the act of sharing my interests with my husband. It's a blessing that he genuinely wants to involve himself in the pursuits I'm interested in and the online research I enjoy, it helps him feel connected to me and strengthens our bond. And yet at the same time it's almost a curse when he wants to be engaged with reading accounts of veterans fallen on hard times or struggling with life after combat. He becomes terribly distressed about those stories, and consequently all I want to do is stop sharing yet he still insists I keep talking until he can't take it anymore.\nThe latest quandary was when I was reading a story online about Sue Highsmith Lamoureux, the wife of a former Army Reserve Sergeant J Patrick Lamoureux incarcerated in Nye County Detention Center, after being involved in a pre-dawn gunbattle with Nye County sheriff's deputies. It's a very compelling story for me, especially as I work in corrections, and have first hand experience of dealing with combat vets in jail. Highsmith Lamoureux says it was the weight of post-traumatic stress that caused her 46-year-old husband with a previously \"squeaky clean\" record, to mentally collapse in September 2008.\nAs I was reading her Blog \"The J Patrick Lamoureux Defense\" I was about to click on the relating newspaper story link when my husband just hapened to glance across at my laptop.\n\"What'cha reading there?\"\n\"A blog written by the wife of a Sergeant J Patrick Lamoureux, he's in jail awaiting trial after getting into a shootout with deputies last year. I was just gonna get the scoop from the newspaper report.\"\n\"Really? Do you mind reading it to me.\"\nAnd as the healing edge of the sword swooped down, I clicked on the link to the newspaper article, and our bonding session began.....\nJoseph \"Pat\" Lamoureux couldn't erase from his mind the sight of the young Iraqi girl walking up to his heavy equipment transport truck and blowing herself up. \"Her body parts were all over his vehicle,\" his wife, Sue, said about the 2003 suicide bomber attack.\nShe said her husband was knocked down from the blast and later was evaluated for traumatic brain injury. In a benefits claim he filed with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Lamoureux wrote that the Iraqi girl, who was 12 to 14 years old, \"came out of nowhere.\nThen there was a firefight near the Baghdad airport and, later, an old man with a donkey who wouldn't stop when soldiers hollered at him. \"He was 'lit up,'\" Sue Lamoureux wrote in a July 1 e-mail. \"To this day Pat believes the old man may have been deaf, and the image of him haunts Pat.\"\nShe said it was the weight of post-traumatic stress from these and other incidents that caused her 46-year-old husband to mentally collapse last September. That's when he went on a shooting spree that began in their mobile home at Terrible's Lakeside RV Park and Casino in Pahrump and ended after a pre-dawn gunbattle with Nye County sheriff's deputies.......\"\n.... partway through the fourth paragraph I felt a nudge against my arm and looked down to see my husband collapse into my lap, tears streaming, almost as though he had literally been struck by the harmful edge of the sword.\n\"Stop, please stop.\" He said in a broken voice.\n\"But I thought you....?\"\n\"I just don't want to hear any more.\" He sobbed.\n\"You know you're training me to want to keep my mouth shut and not share this stuff with you. I can't keep putting you through this all the time. I'm not gonna do it any more...no...that's it...no more.\" I came back defiantly fighting back tears of my own.\n\"No, I want you to share, it's just.... it's just.... it's hard you know?\" Came his emotional insistence.\nAnd as he lays with his head in my lap, I wished he wouldn't argue with me about sharing this stuff with him, wished I hadn't upset him, wished I could turn the clock back just 15 minutes and been checking emails instead of reading her blog when he looked at my screen. Then spared a heart-wrenching thought for J Patrick Lamoureux's wife who I'm sure would do anything right now to be in a position to comfort her husband during his greatest hour of need, wishing she could turn back the clock too.\nLabels: Caregivers, crime, incarceration\nSignature Wounds, A Scott Gaulin Documentary\nCALLING ALL COMBAT VETERAN SPOUSES!\nThis is my video submission to Scott Gaulin's \"Signature Wounds\" project. It literally only took me a few minutes to record and I threw in some stills on top of the video. I am soliciting your input on his behalf, to help make his project not only a successful one but one with a real voice, powerful and compelling enough to affect change.\nScott is a journalist from Texas. His documentary is being sponsored through the Kiplinger Fellowship Program and the John Glenn School of Public Affairs. It is centered around spouses and families struggling to cope at home when a loved one returns suffering from combat PTSD or TBI. He needs our help in collecting as many personal stories as he can from across the country from spouses, children, siblings, or parents of veterans. His website Signature Wounds supplies all the details you will need to contribute to this wonderful cause.\nThe following is an extract from his website:\nHe would like you to share your personal experiences not those of your veteran. It should offer some insight into you; how you cope, what your experiences are, changes in your family's life after PTSD.\nThe story can be whatever you make it; it\u2019s your story. It can be a recollection \u2013 how was life before the deployment, or the day you first met.\nIt can be about a coping technique or hobby that calms and centers you.\nIf you\u2019re an artist \u2013 it could be a conceptual work such as a painting that represents your emotions.\nIt could be song you\u2019ve written, a page from your journal or a more traditional narrative.\nHe can take video, audio, a photographic submission, a drawing, a painting or handwritten letter. He encourages you to be as creative as you like. Visit his website and add your voice to the magnificent chorus I am hoping we will create.\nThis is an awesome opportunity....and if you need help, let me know and I would be willing to work out any of the technical issues that might stand in your way of contributing.",

Given the rapidity with which people, ideas, capital and trade circumnavigate the globe, our understanding of \u2018public health\u2019 must be expanded to fully encompass \u2018global health\u2019. The dramatic advances which have taken place over the last 50 years in transportation, communication and technology create fantastic opportunities to improve the health of the world\u2019s population. Unfortunately such advances also create unprecedented opportunity for large-scale environmental disasters, including global climate change, worldwide pandemics, widespread dissemination of tainted food-products and other unsafe commercial items, as well as opportunity for intentionally inflicted man-made disasters of major proportion.\nThe Global Health Program at the School of Public Health is dedicated to the training, attainment, and contribution of new knowledge to face these challenges.\nPlease visit the Global Health Program site for more information.",

Arimatsu called their discovery a \"real victory\" for small projects, especially since they had less than 0.3 percent of the funding large global projects receive.\n\"So we used a technique known as occultation: monitoring a large number of stars and watching for the shadow of an object passing in front of one of the stars\". Given its size - significantly smaller than Pluto or Ultima Thule - these types of celestial bodies may be far more common than previously thought and provide clues on planetary evolution.\nObjects in the dark and lonely belt are preserved as they were at the formation of the Solar System, largely unaffected by solar radiation, asteroids and gravity.\nIn particular, the size distribution of kilometer-sized (with a radius between 1 and 10km, or 0.6 and 6.2 miles) KBOs represents a signature of initial object sizes when planets form.\nTo achieve a challenging occultation observation, the scientists launched an observation project using amateur telescopes, named the Organized Autotelescopes for Serendipitous Event Survey (OASES). Thus, astronomers are planning to study them for learning about the process of planet formation in the beginning. The discovery proves that small Kuiper Belt Objects are real and exist in large numbers. When the data was analyzed, they found that an event consistent with a star appearing to dim as if it was blocked by a 1.3km radius object. \"We didn't even have enough money to build a second dome to protect our second telescope!\" \"Our team had less than 0.3% of the budget of large worldwide projects\", Dr. Arimatsu said.\nAstronomers are excited and have announced that a small and underfunded project has made a world's first discovery.\nNow that the researchers know their methodology works, Arimatsu added, they plan to study the Kuiper Belt in even greater detail. As the team says in their paper, \"If this is a true KBO detection, this implies that planetesimals before their runaway growth phase grew into kilometre-sized objects in the primordial outer Solar System and remain as a major population in the present-day Kuiper belt\".\nThe study's lead author continued that they have their sights set on the Oort Cloud, the solar system's comet repository, next.",

Over the past three decades, tough sentencing laws have contributed to a doubling of the country's prison population, with laws commonly known as 'three strikes and you're out' mandating life sentences for a wide range of crimes.\nBut a clear sign that Americans are rethinking crime and punishment is a voter's initiative on California's November ballot called Proposition 36 that seeks to reform the state's three-strikes law. Some 27 states have three-strikes laws patterned after California's version, which was one of the first to be enacted in the country.\nSince it was passed in 1994, nearly 9,000 felons have been convicted in California under the law.\nOne of them is Norman Williams, a 49-year-old African-American man who was a crack addict living on the streets. He was convicted of burglarising an empty home and later stealing an armload of tools from an art studio. His third strike: filching a jack from a tow truck in Long Beach. His fate sealed under California's three-strikes law, Williams was sent to a maximum security prison [for a life sentence] alongside murderers, rapists and other violent criminals.\n\"I never wanted to do my whole life in prison. Nobody wants to be caged like that,\" Williams says.\nWilliams was lucky. After 13 years behind bars, his case was reviewed by a judge and he was released. He is one of about two dozen 'three strikers' who have won sentence reductions through the work of a Stanford University law clinic founded by Michael Romano. In Williams' case, the prosecutor actually agreed that the original sentence was too harsh. An idea emerged from Romano's work: Why not draft a ballot initiative to ensure that sentences like Williams' will not be repeated?\n\"When people originally passed the three-strikes law in 1994 the campaigns were about keeping serious and violent murderers, child molesters in prison for the rest of their lives,\" Romano says. \"I think that's what people want and are kind of shocked to hear that people have been sentenced to life for petty theft.\"\nAGREEMENT TO END ALL HOSTILITIES coming from Pelican Bay SHU: begins today, October 10, 2012\nShut Down the SHU!

Their original five core demands have now been acknowledged\u2014although not yet met\u2014by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), which promised to consider them. On Monday, August 1 many diverse people and organizations will publicly speak out and act in support of these demands.

We insist there must be NO RETALIATION by the authorities against individual prisoners, groups of prisoners, prisoners\u2019 family members or attorneys or other advocates, in the wake of the Hunger Strike.

For at least 200 prisoners in the SHU at Pelican Bay, medical staff have stated:\n\"The prisoners are progressing rapidly to the organ damaging consequences of dehydration. They are not drinking water and have decompensated rapidly. A few have tried to sip water but are so sick that they are vomiting it back up. Some are in renal failure and have been unable to make urine for 3 days. Some are having measured blood sugars in the 30 range, which can be fatal if not treated.\"\nSince the hunger strike has spread to at least a third of CA's prisons, family members have informed Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity of their loved one's conditions. They have reported hunger strikers have lost 20-30 pounds, are incredibly pale, and that a number of prisoners fainted and/or went into diabetic shock during family visits this past weekend.

        "raw_content": "Norway is one of the few countries in the world that actually have four seasons. Outdoor activities are never restricted by the seasons, you can go skiing, diving, fishing, climbing, glacier walking, rafting or bicycling almost all year round. The transition from winter to summer offers exciting combinations. You can enjoy life by the sea and go skiing on one of Norway\u2019s glaciers at the same place. Or you can simply take a deep breath of the fresh air and enjoy the quietness of the Norwegian nature. As long as the weather is right for it, of course.\nThe country has a massive coastline indented with fjords and a mountainous interior with some of Europe\u2019s biggest glaciers. Norwegian weather has few extremes, but many local variations. The Gulf Stream current along the coast elevates the country\u2019s temperature well above the global averages for the regions at equal latitudes.\nThe North has midnight-sun days \u2013 when the sun never drops below the horizon \u2013 occur from 14 May to 30 July. The opposite occurs in winter when the sun does not rise from the end of November to the end of January. The South has daylight from 4am to 11pm in midsummer and from 8am to 4 pm during winter.\nFor today\u2019s weather and other facts check yr.no.\nA small percentage of the population (yes, even the Norwegians) suffers from some form of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and most foreigners find the long dark winter months tiring at best and unbearable at worst. Those who are totally unable to tolerate the weather may decide to leave while others may adopt the Norwegian approach of getting away: either a vacation in a warm country, a skiing holiday, etc.\nTips to Handle the Winter\nWear proper clothing.\nLearn how to layer \u2013 It may be freezing outside but it\u2019s a toasty 20 deg Celsius or even warmer indoors at cafes or other people\u2019s homes.\nGet a sun/UV lamp for your office and home.\nEscape during winter to a warmer climate.\nTake up winter sports like skiing and snowboarding.\nPlan activities with friends \u2013 dinner parties, board game nights, bowling competitions, quiz nights, etc to have something to look forward to in the week.\nTake vitamin supplements.\nMake an effort to go out even though it is freezing. Even a short walk will do you good.\nPick up a new hobby.\nAs the Norwegian saying goes, \u201cthere is no bad weather, just bad clothing.\u201d Try to keep that in mind and be optimistic about the weather. Without a winter, there will not come a spring or a summer. So the winters, in a way, do make the springs and summers a little more special.",

Unlike conventional projective tests, the Animal Metaphor works as both a diagnostic and therapeutic battery. Unlike the Rorschach test and TAT, the Animal Metaphor is premised on self-analysis via self-report questions. The test combines facets of art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and insight therapy, while also providing a theoretical platform of behavioral analysis.\nThe test has been used widely as a clinical tool, as an educational assessment, and in human resource selection. The test was developed at the Center for the Study of Normative Behavior in Hamden, Connecticut, a clinical training and research center. The primary purpose of Animal Metaphor Tests is to describe emotions that vary from affectionate love to reasoning behind discerning insults.In the first study, the scientists took over forty common metaphors and found evidence to support the idea that the meanings are diverse as the subject focused on evil, nasty and silly attitudes. The test sought after increasing hatred and creating a degrading view upon the animals subjected to this test. While the second study's results were that the offensive attitude found on an animal metaphor is based on facial expressions, gender and the overall social status of targets.[3]\n^ \"Protected: Animal Metaphor Test\". museumofcreativeprocess.com.

        "raw_content": "\u00ab Divorce if there is a child\nParenting without punishment. \u00bb\nWill give you some examples and techniques of manipulation.\nTry to imagine yourself a man (successfully?). You sit in a cafe with a girl, you take care and lead a conversation with her about life and love. And here\u2019s to you lovely teenage girl (or at least pretty grandma) with a bouquet of flowers and offers you to purchase them.\nAnd this is called manipulation. Why?\nBut because there is a hidden expectation that you will be embarrassed not to buy flowers for this girl in front of your companion. In this case it is an example of manipulation on the human needs to look good in the eyes of the object of sighs.\nThus, the difference between manipulation and other means of influence is that during manipulation, in addition to explicit and public motive, have an ulterior motive, calculation, and implications.\nAn example of manipulation in trade.\nIn the store the buyer chooses the goods, hesitantly looking at the cheaper, more expensive things. In General, is determined by the buyer. And then there is the seller who \u00abhelps \u00bb choose a product:\n\u2014 This model better, but it is perhaps a little expensive for you.\n\u2014 that\u2019s the one I\u2019ll take.\nOn the external level, the seller stated true facts: high quality and low financial capacity of the buyer. The hidden meaning of this manipulation is based on the desire of the buyer while the seller (and thus, to some extent ourselves) to look respectable.\nThe buyer took an expensive thing, treat your self-esteem and wiping (as it seems) nose to the seller.\nEverywhere you look, manipulation.\nBut, unfortunately, so we \u00abprogrammed\u00bb that most often only remembers negative experiences, and positive and we forget!\nBy manipulating the person we give something in return.\nSurely you ever on the street people came with a \u201cgift\u201d from the company. Very cheerful, beginning with the words \u201cHello! \u201cthey solemnly declare that in honor of the 500th anniversary of their generous company you get free lovely set here in this bag, with the bag. And handed it to you!\nAnother few seconds of optimism and charm and you\u2019re starting to believe in this miracle.\nBut it turns out that in order for you to finally take ownership of all the rich contents of this bag, needed a mere trifle. Pay just one thing from this wealth.\nSome pathetic (compared with the contents of) a few hundred rubles. And here, too, the manipulation!\nManipulation \u2014 is more of a system of games, it \u2014 a lifestyle.\nOne thing a single game, which purpose is to avoid the predicament; and another thing \u2014 the script of life, which governs the whole system of interaction with the world.\nManipulator-a man who has a certain way of thinking, an established worldview prevailing goal. Nothing wrong with the ability and desire to manipulate others not, provided that:\nYou fully understand the nature of the manipulation\nYou formed the purpose to which you go\nYou do not cause another person harm\nIf the manipulation is carried out consciously, with a clear understanding of their goals, then no harm in it, at least for the manipulator.\nVery useful social skill, given that the entire society they built and did their encourages.\nLet us return to the question that stood at the beginning of our article \u2014 is it good or bad.\nWe can safely say that talking about manipulation minus most. Because, in fact, to manipulate, to play on other people\u2019s weaknesses and fears. Because manipulation is the quickest way to achieve results in interaction with people.\nIt is much easier to play on the strings of someone\u2019s soul and complexes than work on the relationship and scenarios in his life. Because it involves primarily working on themselves, their relationships, their actions and behaviour. Not many people need.\nThe manipulator, in fact provides a quick result through the minimum cost, taking responsibility for what is happening. (And who from such refuse?) He is happy to justify himself and his actions, said that the object manipulation wanted and what I wanted, and got.\nThe manipulator is essentially a \u201cFreeloader\u201d who is not ready to work on a relationship, their approaches, their attitudes and their way of life. He does as best he can, keeping his comfort zone.\nManipulation of the minds of others always lead to a deadlock, because if one party manipulates, and the other is conducted in such an attitude, this format of relations in any case does not lead to development, which means that they are doomed to fail.\nThere is another aspect of this approach is the manipulator itself is the first potential victim of another manipulator.\nAbout the most oblivious, but like attracts like. Object manipulation in one situation, often in another behavior itself. So it\u2019s a mutual choice and responsibility lies with both parties.\nThe game is a mutual give-away always leads to loss.\nA real tool for developing relationships, developing the person and increase the level of communication is finding the true motivation of the other person, finding common points of interest and to develop a mutually acceptable and interesting for both parties in the relationship model and based on this scenario.\nIt\u2019s always work, but it involves courage and out of the comfort zone.\nmobilificiomarchese.com\nwww.mobilificiomarchese.com\nVirginia quick payday loans\nwww.onlinecash4payday.com",

        "raw_content": "The History of Jewish Life in Los Angeles Researched, Interpreted, and Displayed as Never Before\nIf you've been receiving my newsletter for a while, you know that I was born in Boyle Heights in 1924 and spent my first twenty years in a house my parents built on recently subdivided ranchland. Also, that in a few years both sides of the newly paved street were lined with mostly single family residences, all occupied by Jewish families. And that from kindergarten through twelfth grade I attended schools where I, like my ethnically and racially diverse classmates, was enjoined to embrace the culture of my family, and to respect those of my fellow students. Well-informed on how young minds function, our educators softened the injunction with engaging programs: stories, songs, and dances of various cultures, and school-wide native costume parades. Between 1920 and 1940, the mixed population of Boyle Heights reached its peak: Jews, 35,000, Mexicans, 15,000, and Japanese, 5,000. Smaller enclaves of Russians, Armenians, Greeks, and Italians settled in mini-neighborhoods served by churches and stores that catered to their traditional tastes. Anglos and African Americans, few in number, found housing and adapted, the more outgoing, with noticeable ease.\nBy the late 1950s, the Mexican American population in Boyle Heights had significantly increased, while other ethnic and racial groups, my family among them, gradually relocated in Los Angeles at large. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, where I majored in Hispanic America, I married a Jew from the Arizona-Sonora border, and lived first in Hollywood, then for three decades in the San Fernando Valley. In the late 1960s, captivated by the growing national ethnic history movement, I began to research and write about Jewish pioneering in the newly American West. The endeavor brought to mind memories of my multicultural school days in Boyle Heights. As did our move in 1981, after our children were grown, to an eighteen-story condominium in West Los Angeles where the residents were of as diverse origins as my classmates in Boyle Heights.\nSo why am I telling you this now? Because as a Jew, pluralist, and lifelong Angeleno, I'm delighted to apprise you of a first-of-its-kind exhibition now in progress at the Autry National Center. Titled Jews in the Los Angeles Mosaic, it will run until January 5, 2014. For a number of reasons, the show is likely to arouse more attention than most histories of Jewish life in a large American city, and also controversy, given its size and the diversity of the metropolis. Its guest curator is Karen S. Wilson, Kahn Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies. Of a number of quotable passages in Wilson's introductory chapter to a book accompanying the exhibition, the following is most pertinent here. \"The presence of Jews, in all their heterogeneity, has enhanced Los Angeles, and Jewish Angelenos have mirrored the challenges and advantages of American society.\"\nIn addition to Wilson's introduction and article, \"Becoming Angelenos,\" are four other extraordinary pieces: \"Reexamining Los Angeles' 'Lower East Side': Jewish Bakers Union Local 453 and Yiddish Food Culture in 1920s Boyle Heights,\" by Caroline Luce; \"Letting Jews be Jews: Ethnicity and Hollywood, Its Fall and Rise,\" by Kenneth Turan; \"At the Intersection of Gender, Ethnicity, and the City: Three Jewish Women in Los Angeles Politics,\" by Amy Hill Shevitz, and \"White Chistmases and Hanukkah Mambos: Jews and the Making of Popular Music in L.A.,\" by Josh Kun.\nListed below is a wide variety of exhibition events planned from May to October, along with detailed ticket information for non-members. Also cited in detail are the the days and hours the exhibition is open to the public, the address of the Autry Museum, and general ticketing information.\nJews in the Los Angeles Mosaic Symoposium\nDate/ Time: Sunday, May 19, 2012, 8:30 am - 5:00 pm.\nAdmission: Museum admission is included with the purchase of a Symposium ticket.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr\u2019s assassination. Led by Gaelyn Godwin Roshi of Houston Zen Center, this session explored the practice of allowing ourselves to be fully present with the moment and will lift up MLK\u2019s profound impact on equity, peace and justice.\nWe enter Zen practice with awareness of our sensations, our breath, the sounds, the feeling of being a living body. In this simple yet profound meditation practice, the act of just sitting in the present moment can lead us to a sense of ease and release. Zen can be practiced by people of all faiths. It was originally taught by the Buddha as the method to live in awakening.\nAt 1:00pm, after the meditation, we had a moment of silence followed by an audio installation of MLK\u2019s final speech, \u201cI\u2019ve Been to the Mountaintop,\u201d played inside the Chapel and outside on the plaza.\nGaelyn Godwin is the Abbot of Houston Zen Center. She has been a Zen Buddhist priest for 26 years and is authorized in both Japan and the US to teach Zen meditation and Zen Buddhist studies. After training in Tassajara, the largest Western Zen monastery and in Japan, she began to visit the Houston Zen Community in the mid-90\u2019s, moving to Houston in 2003 to help establish the Houston Zen Center. Houston is now her home. The Houston Zen Center, where she teaches, is located at 1605 Heights Boulevard. You can learn more about the Center by visiting houstonzen.org",

        "raw_content": "WHY YOU SHOULD TIE YOUR HORSE UP - By Clinton Anderson\nTying a horse up for long periods of time accomplishes many important things in your training. I have a little saying, \"End each training session by tying your horse up to the \u2018Tree or Post of Knowledge.\u2019\" When you tie your horse up after a training session, it teaches him not only respect and patience, but it also gives him a chance to think about and absorb what you have just taught him. The very last thing you want to do after a training session is get off your horse, take him back to the barn, unsaddle him, hose him off and put him in his stall to eat. This puts his focus more on getting back to the barn and eating than on thinking about his job. If you get into the habit of tying your horse up for two to three hours after you ride him, he won\u2019t be in such a hurry to get back to the barn. Some people will read that and think that I\u2019m being cruel to the horse. But I have to ask, \"What\u2019s the difference between a horse standing still in a stall or a horse standing still on a Patience Pole? The difference to me is that if he\u2019s standing tied to a pole, he could be thinking about you and what you\u2019ve just taught him, but I guarantee that in the stall he\u2019s not thinking about you at all",

I have worked at Columbia's NBC-affiliate television station KOMU 8 since my freshman year of college. I worked my way up the ranks at the station. I started out answering the phones and checking the email as a desk assistant, along with writing stories for the website, KOMU.com, and managing the station\u2019s social media pages as a digital producer. After my first year of school, I started producing full newscasts and currently report for KOMU 8. As a reporter, I\u2019m a one-man-band: coming up with story ideas, interviewing sources, shooting b-roll, editing everything together and then fronting it live for the 5 and 6 o\u2019clock news. I\u2019ve also anchored various shows for the station\u2019s morning, noon, 5, 6, 9 and 10 o\u2019clock newscasts. Outside of KOMU 8, I reported for Columbia's NPR-affiliate radio station KBIA during the fall of 2014 and interned at KMBC, a television station in my hometown of Kansas City, during the winter of 2014.\nI was so excited when I received the call from RTDNF. I couldn\u2019t believe I had won! I am thrilled RTDNF recognized all the hard work and dedication I have put into my journalism career, and I am honored to be chosen as a winner of the Presidents Scholarship.\nStacey Woelfel, Associate Professor and Director of the Jonathan B. Murray Center for Documentary Journalism said, \"Jenna hit the newsroom on her very first day ready to do whatever it took to get the newscast on the air. It\u2019s exciting to see RTDNF provide the means for her to finish her education and lead a new generation of TV journalists.\"",

        "raw_content": "A scholar examines the root cause of present\ntensions within the ranks of faithful Catholics.\nOPERATIVE POINTS OF VIEW\nFather Chad Ripperger, F.S.S.P.\nIn 1996, a group of friends had lunch in Rome at the Czechoslovakian college. One of the priests who offers Mass according to the New Rite was a bit dumbfounded. He had written an article in which he had discussed certain aspects of the liturgical reform. His puzzlement came from the fact that the traditionalists had attacked his article and he could not understand why. A seminarian, who was a traditionalist, said to the priest, \"we agree that something has to be done about the liturgy, but we do not agree on what should be done.\" Traditionalists(1) and neo-conservatives(2) often find each other mystifying and the reason for this has to do with the relationship each position holds with respect to ecclesiastical tradition.\nIn classical theological manuals, textbooks and catechisms, the word \"tradition\" was given a twofold meaning:\nThe first signification of the term \"tradition\" was taken from its Latin root word which is tradere, which means \"to pass on\"(3). In this sense, the word tradition refers to all of those things which are, in any way, passed on from one generation to the next. This would include all of the divine truths which the Church passes on to the subsequent generations in any way(4), including the Scriptures(5).\nThe second sense or more restrictive sense of tradition refers to a twofold division within that which is passed on and not written down,(6) viz. divine tradition(7) and ecclesiastical tradition(8).\nDivine tradition is that tradition which constitutes one of the sources of revelation, i.e. a source of our knowledge about those things which were revealed to man by God. This means that divine tradition is intrinsic to the Deposit of Faith, which constitutes all of the divinely revealed truths necessary for salvation and passed on by the Church in an uninterrupted tradition. Since it is intrinsic to the Deposit of Faith, this form of tradition is sometimes called intrinsic tradition, a prime example of which is the magisterium of the Church and the sacraments since they were established by Jesus Christ and passed on and will be passed on until the end of time(9).\nEcclesiastical tradition is all of those things which are not intrinsic to the Deposit of Faith, but which form the heritage and patrimony of the work of previous generations graciously passed on by the Church to subsequent generations for their benefit. Because it is extrinsic to the Deposit of Faith, ecclesiastical tradition is also called extrinsic tradition, examples of which include the Church's disciplinary code as set out in canon law and non-infallible teachings of the ordinary magisterium. This would include those things contained in Apostolic exhortations and encyclicals in which infallibility is not enjoyed, e.g. Pope Leo XIII in Immortale Dei asserts that the Church is a perfect society.\nBecause God Himself entrusted the Deposit of Faith to the Catholic Church, the Catholic Church is inherently traditional. Since all men by nature desire to know(10),the Church cannot help but develop an ecclesiastical tradition. Once man was given the Deposit of Faith, he naturally reflected upon the Deposit resulting in a greater understanding of it. That understanding was then passed on. This also means that the Church herself would pass judgment upon the Deposit in magisterial acts(11) and these magisterial acts become part of the ecclesiastical tradition. The ecclesiastical tradition, therefore, was formed over the course of time i.e. in the life of the Church throughout the twenty centuries of its existence.\nEcclesiastical (or extrinsic) tradition developed according to two principles:\nThe first principle, was the Deposit of Faith itself. The members of the Church used the teachings within the Deposit to develop schools of spirituality, Church discipline and legislation, as well as all of the other things which pertain to ecclesiastical tradition. Since the teaching of Christ must govern the life of the Church, it was necessary for any authentic extrinsic tradition (e.g. Canon Law) to be consistent with those teachings. Anything that was contrary to the teachings contained in the Deposit caused the Church great affliction but over time it was cut off from the life of the Church(12).\nThe second principle was the nature of man. Since Scripture itself tells us a great deal about man and as philosophical systems advanced in an understanding of the nature of man, especially in the medieval period, the extrinsic tradition was fashioned based upon the knowledge of that nature. Furthermore, it was known to be a wounded nature, i.e. one affected by Original Sin and so the extrinsic tradition was designed to aid man in his condition. For example, many schools of spirituality and rules of the religious orders were designed in order to help man overcome his proclivity to self-will and concupiscence in order to conform himself to the ideals taught within the Deposit. Those who fashioned the extrinsic tradition were often saints who were guided and helped by divine aid in establishing some custom or aspect of the extrinsic tradition which was passed on to subsequent generations. The extrinsic tradition came to form a magnificent patrimony and heritage of all Catholics.\nSUBVERSION OF EXTRINSIC TRADITION\nAs the Modernist crisis grew under the impetus of modern philosophy, the extrinsic tradition was eroded and subverted due to several factors. The first was a change of view about the nature of man. With the onslaught of rationalism(13),then empiricism(14) and later Kantianism(15) and other modern innovations about the nature of man, the Thomistic view, i.e. the realist view of man, was supplanted. At first, this occurred outside the Church and was kept at bay by formal teaching within the Church which maintained a proper view of man. The Protestants, not having an intellectual heritage, quickly succumbed to the modern philosophies. As the Modernist crisis spread within the Church and the curiosity and fascination with modern philosophy grew, the view of man held by Catholics began to change in the latter part of the nineteenth century and during the twentieth century.\nRationalism also changed how man viewed revelation. Since rationalists do not believe that one can come to true intellectual knowledge by means of the senses, then that which pertained to the senses was systematically ignored or rejected. Since revelation is something introduced into sensible reality(16), revelation came under direct attack. Moreover, if one is cut off from reality, then one is locked up inside oneself and so what pertains to one's own experience becomes paramount. After Descartes(17), came Spinoza(18) who systematically attacked the authenticity of oral tradition regarding the Scriptures(19) and through his philosophy he began to change people's view of the world. As empiricism rose, the view of man as simply a material being led to fixing man's meaning in the \"now\" or always in the present. Since for the empiricist, man's meaning is found in what he senses and feels, this led eventually to a lack of interest in the past since the past as such (and future for that matter) cannot be sensed nor fulfil our sensible desires(20). With the advent of Hegel(21), the intellectual groundwork was laid for a wholesale lack of interest in and distrust of tradition. With the scepticism of Spinoza about the sources of Scripture,(22) coupled with the Hegelian dialectic, the past (including all forms of tradition) was now outmoded or outdated and tradition was to be distrusted. As a consequence, those who wanted to impose some religious teaching based upon tradition or history became suspect.\nAt the same time in which the intellectual underpinnings for trusting tradition collapsed in the minds of modern intellectuals under the impetus of modern philosophy, a growing immanentism(23) arising from three sources(24) became entrenched.\nThe first was Kant, who, through an epistemology(25) which was founded on Cartesian and empirical scepticism of the senses(26), left one locked into one's own mind, logically speaking(27). This meant that everything is within oneself or one's own mind which means that man's experiences are essentially immanent, i.e. they are within or remain within himself(28).\nThe second source of immanentism was the location of the theological experience within the emotions and this was done by Friedrich Schleiermacher(29). For Schleiermacher, religion was primarily an expression of piety and piety is found only in the emotions. Religion could not be satisfied with metaphysical treatises and analysis, i.e. a rational approach to religion; rather, it had to be something emotional. This led to the immanentization of religion since piety or religious experience was something within the individual. We often see this today: people expect the liturgy to be conformed to their emotional states rather than they conforming themselves to an objective cult, which conforms itself to God.\nThe third source which led to immanentization and therefore provided an intellectual foundation for acceptance only of the present and a rejection of the past was the work of Maurice Blondel(30). Blondel held that:\n\"modern thought, with a jealous susceptibility, considers the notion of immanence as the very condition of philosophizing; that is to say, if among current ideas there is one which it regards as marking a definitive advance, it is the idea, which is at bottom perfectly true, that nothing can enter into a man's mind which does not come out of him and correspond in some way to a need for expansion and that there is nothing in the nature of historical or traditional teaching or obligation imposed from without that counts for him...\"(31)\nFor Blondel, only those things which come from man himself and which are immanent to him have any meaning. No tradition or history has any bearing upon his intellectual considerations unless it somehow comes from himself.\nThese three sources of immanentism as they influenced the Church during the waning of an intellectual phase of Modernism in the 1950s and early 1960s(32) provided the foundation for a psychological break from tradition as a norm. As Peter Bernardi observes, Blondel was \"working at a time when the Church was just beginning to become conscious of a certain break in its tradition\"(33). The work of Blondel and the influx of the other modern philosophical points of view, which were antithetical to the ecclesiastical tradition(34), had a drastic impact on Vatican II(35). By the time Vatican II arrived, all of the intellectual foundation was in place for a systematic rejection of all of the aspects of ecclesiastical tradition.\nIn summary: Blondel and others, under the influence of modern philosophy, thought that modern man could not be satisfied with past ways of thinking. They provided an intellectual foundation upon which the Church, with a Council as a catalyst, could \"update\" itself or undergo an \"aggiornamento\"(36). With the foundations for the extrinsic tradition having been supplanted, the extrinsic tradition was lost. In other words, since the view of man had changed and since the view of the Deposit of Faith was subjected to a modern analysis, the extrinsic tradition, which rested upon these two, collapsed. We are currently living with the full blown effects of that collapse(37). The members of the Church today have become fixated on the here and now and the past traditions are not only irrelevant but to be distrusted and even, at times, demonized.\n\"MAGISTERIALISM\" AND POSITIVISM\nThis has had several effects on the members of the Church. The first is that those things, which pertain to the extrinsic tradition and do not touch upon the intrinsic tradition, are ignored. This manifests itself in the fact that some ecclesial documents today do not have any connection to the positions held by the magisterium prior to the Second Vatican Council. For example, in the document of Vatican II on ecumenism, Unitatis Redintegratio, there is not a single mention of the two previous documents which deal with the ecumenical movement and other religions, viz. Satis Cognitum by Leo XIII or Mortalium Animos by Pius XI. The approach to ecumenism and other religions is fundamentally different from the approach of the Vatican II document or Ut Unum Sint by Pope John Paul II(38). Moreover, the problem is not just with respect to magisterium prior to Vatican II but even with the magisterium since the Council(39).\nThis type of behaviour coupled with the modern philosophical encroachment into the intellectual life of the Church and the bad theology resulting therefrom has led to a type of \"magisterialism\"(40). Magisterialism is a fixation on the teachings that pertain only to the current magisterium. Since extrinsic tradition has been subverted and since the Vatican tends to promulgate documents exhibiting a lack of concern regarding some of the previous magisterial acts, many have begun ignoring the previous magisterial acts and listen only to the current magisterium.\nThis problem is exacerbated by our current historical conditions. As the theological intellectual community began to unravel before, during and after Vatican II, those who considered themselves orthodox were those who were obedient and intellectually submissive to the magisterium since those who dissent are not orthodox. Therefore, the standard of orthodoxy was shifted from Scripture, intrinsic tradition (of which the magisterium is a part) and extrinsic tradition (which includes magisterial acts of the past, such as Pius IX's Syllabus of Errors), to a psychological state in which only the current magisterium is followed.\nNeo-conservatives have fallen into this way of thinking i.e. the only standard by which they judge orthodoxy is whether or not one follows the current magisterium. Traditionalists, as a general rule, tend to be orthodox in the sense that they are obedient to the current magisterium, even though they disagree about matters of discipline and have some reservations about some aspects of current magisterial teachings which seem to contradict the previous magisterium (e.g. the role of the ecumenical movement). Traditionalists tend to take not just the current magisterium as their norm but Scripture(41), intrinsic tradition, extrinsic tradition and the current magisterium as the principles of judgment of correct Catholic thinking. This is what distinguishes traditionalists and neo-conservatives i.e. their perspectives regarding the role of ecclesiastical tradition and how the current magisterium relates to it.\nInevitably, this magisterialism has led to a form of positivism(42). Since there are no principles of judgment other than the current magisterium, whatever the current magisterium says is always what is \"orthodox.\" In other words, psychologically the neo-conservatives have been left in a position in which the extrinsic and intrinsic tradition are no longer included in the norms of judging whether something is orthodox or not. As a result, whatever comes out of the Vatican regardless of its authoritative weight, is to be held, even if it contradicts what was taught with comparable authority in the past. Since non-infallible ordinary acts of the magisterium can be erroneous, this leaves one in a precarious situation if one only takes as true what the current magisterium says. While we are required to give religious assent even to the non-infallible teachings of the Church, what are we to do when a magisterial document contradicts other current or previous teachings and one does not have any more authoritative weight than the other? It is too simplistic merely to say that we are to follow the current teaching. What would happen if in a period of crisis, like our own, a non-infallible ordinary magisterial teaching contradicted what was in fact the truth? If one part of the magisterium contradicts another, both being at the same level, which is to believed? Unfortunately, what has happened is that many neo-conservatives have acted as if non-infallible ordinary magisterial teachings (e.g. the role of inculturation in the liturgy as stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church) are, in fact, infallible when the current magisterium promulgates them. This is a positivist mentality(43).\nCOLLECTIVE AMNESIA AND MUTUAL SUSPICION\nAs the positivism and magisterialism grew and the extrinsic tradition no longer remained a norm for judging what should and should not be done, neo-conservatives accepted the notion that the Church must adapt to the modern world. Rather than helping the modern world to adapt to the teachings of the Church, the reverse process has occurred. This has led to the neo-conservatives being overly concerned about politically correct secular matters. Rather than having a certain distrust of the world which Christ exhorts us to have(44), many priests will only teach something from the pulpit as long as it is not going to cause problems. For example, how many priests are willing to preach against anti-Scriptural feminism? The fact is that they have adopted an immanentized way of looking at what should be done, often from an emotional point of view. And this coupled with political correctness has incapacitated ecclesiastical authorities in the face of the world and within the Church herself where the process of immanentization, with its flawed understanding of the nature of man and his condition as labouring under Original Sin, has severely undermined discipline. Even those who try to be orthodox have become accustomed to softer disciplinary norms, which fit fallen nature well, resulting in a lack of detachment from the current way of doing things and a consequent reluctance by neo-conservatives to exercise authority - precisely because they lack the vital detachment required to do so.\nAll of the aforesaid has resulted in the neo-conservatives rejecting the extrinsic tradition as the norm. This is why, even in \"good\" seminaries, the spiritual patrimony of the saints is virtually never taught. Moreover, this accounts for why the neo-conservatives appear confused about the real meaning of tradition. Since it is not a principle of judgment for them, they are unable to discuss it in depth. In fact, they ignore extrinsic tradition almost as much as the \"liberals.\" Even when neo-conservatives express a desire to recover and follow the extrinsic tradition, they rarely do so when it comes to making concrete decisions.\nIt now becomes clearer why there is a kind of psychological suspicion between neo-conservatives and traditionalists: they have fundamentally different perspectives. The neo-conservatives have psychologically or implicitly accepted that extrinsic tradition cannot be trusted, whereas the traditionalists hold to the extrinsic tradition as something good, i.e. something which is the product of the wisdom and labour of the saints and the Church throughout history. For this reason, the fundamental difference between neo-conservatives and traditionalists is that the neo-conservative looks at the past through the eyes of the present while the traditionalist looks at the present through the eyes of the past. Historically, the mens ecclesiae or mind of the Church was expressed through the extrinsic tradition. That is to say that the Church, since it receives both its teaching from the past and the labour of the saints and previous magisterium by tradition, always looked at the present through the eyes of the past. In this, she looked at the present not as man under the influence of modern philosophy looked at the present(45), but through the eyes of her Lord Who gave her His teaching when He was on earth (i.e. in the past). Only at the time of Christ, is it possible to look authentically at the past through, what was then, the eyes of the present, since Christ was the fulfilment of the past. But once the work of Christ became part of history and He ascended into heaven, we must always look back to Christ and to our tradition for an authentic understanding of the present(46).\nThis fundamental shift in perspective has left the traditionalists with the sense that they are fighting for the good of the extrinsic tradition without the help of and often hindered by the current magisterium. Liturgically, traditionalists judge the Novus Ordo in light of the Mass of Pius V and the neo-conservatives judge the Tridentine Mass, as it is called, in light of the Novus Ordo(47). This comes from the Hegelianism which holds that the past is always understood in light of the present, i.e. the thesis and antithesis are understood in light of their synthesis. This leads to a mentality that newer is always better, because the synthesis is better than either the thesis or the antithesis taken alone. Being affected by this, the neo-conservatives often assume or are incapable of imagining that the current discipline of the Church may not be as good as the prior discipline. There is a mentality today which holds that \"because it is present (Hegelianism), because it comes from us (immanentism), it is necessarily better.\"\nFurthermore, neo-conservatives love the Church and have a strong emotional attachment to the magisterium which causes them to find it unimaginable that the Church could ever falter, even with regard to matters of discipline. Like the father who loves his daughter and therefore has a hard time imagining her doing anything wrong, neo-conservatives have a hard time conceiving that the Holy Ghost does not guarantee infallibility in matters of discipline or non-infallible ordinary magisterial teaching. Traditionalists, confronted by a Church in crisis, know that something has gone wrong somewhere. As a result, they are, I believe, more sober in assessing whether or not the Church exercises infallibility. That, allied to their looking at the present through the eyes of the past, helps the traditionalists to see that the onus is on the present to justify itself, not the past.\nThe dominance of Hegelianism and immanentism also led to a form of collective ecclesiastical amnesia(48). During the early1960s, there existed a generation which was handed the entire ecclesiastical tradition, for the tradition was still being lived. However, because they laboured under the aforesaid errors, that generation(49) chose not to pass on the ecclesiastical tradition to the subsequent generation as something living. Consequently, in one generation, the extrinsic tradition virtually died out. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, seminary and university formation in the Catholic Church excluded those things which pertained to the ecclesiastical tradition. Once the prior generation had chosen this course, not to remember and teach the things of the past, it was never passed on and so those whom they trained i.e. the current generation, were consigned to suffer collective ignorance about their patrimony and heritage.\nA further effect of what we have considered is that no prior teaching is left untouched. In other words, it appears as if more documentation has been issued in the last forty years than in the previous 1,960. Every past teaching, if the current magisterium deems it worthy of note to modern man, is touched upon anew and viewed through the lens of the present day immanentism. The impression is given that the teachings of the previous magisterium cannot stand on their own and so they must be given some form of \"relevance\" by being promulgated anew in a current document. Moreover, the current documents often lack the clarity and succinctness of the prior magisterium(50), and, with relatively few exceptions, are exceedingly long and tedious to read in their entirety. As a result, the frequency of the documents taken together with their length have eroded their authority because, as a general rule, people simply do not have the emotional or psychological discipline to plough through them.\nThe differences between traditionalists and neo-conservatives are rooted in their respective attitudes to extrinsic or ecclesiastical tradition. Even if a neo-conservative holds notionally(51) that the extrinsic tradition is of value, nevertheless in the daily living of his life and in his deliberations, he simply ignores a large portion of it, if not completely. But there is hope, even outside the circles that hold to tradition. Many of the young, even those in neo-conservative seminaries, are no longer weighed down by the intellectual baggage which afflicted their counterparts in the previous generation. Because they have been taught virtually nothing about religion, they lack a perspective that might influence them negatively in favour of one particular view of extrinsic tradition. Many of them are eager to learn the truth and do not have any preconceived ideas about the current state of the Church. As a result, if they are provided with or are able to arrive at the knowledge of their patrimony, many of them seeking it out on their own, then we can be assured of a brighter future. But this requires knowledge of the problem and the willingness to adopt or connect to the extrinsic tradition by embracing it as something good. It is unlikely that the role of ecclesiastical tradition will be sorted out soon, but we can hope that its restoration is part of God's providential plan.\nFather Ripperger teaches moral theology and philosophy at the seminary of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter in Nebraska. Email: cripperger@alltel.net\n(1) The term \"traditionalist\" has two different meanings. The first is the heresy condemned by the Church i.e. a philosophical/religious system which depreciates human reason and establishes the tradition of mankind as the only criterion for truth and certainty. This heresy denies the ability of reason to know the truth and so it must be gained through tradition alone. It is different from the current movement in the Church which clearly recognizes the ability of reason to know the truth but which sees the good of the tradition of the Church and would like to see it re-established.\n(2) The term \"neo-conservative\" refers to those who are considered the more conservative members of the Church. More often than not, they are those who hold orthodox positions, but they would not assert that it is necessary or a good idea to reconnect with ecclesiastical tradition. The prefix \"neo\" is used because they are not the same as those conservatives in authority in the Church right before, during and after the Second Vatican Council. The current conservatives, i.e. the neo-conservatives, are different insofar as the conservatives of that earlier period sought to maintain the current ecclesiastical traditions which were eventually lost. Obviously all of these labels have a certain inadequacy, but since they are operative in the current ecclesiastical climate, we will use the terms here in order to denote certain theological and philosophical positions. It should be noted, however, that the term \"liberal\" is often misleading. Many \"liberals\" are, in fact, unorthodox and do not believe what the Church believes. One can legitimately be a liberal, if and only if, one upholds all of the authentic teachings of the Church and then in matters of discipline or legitimate debate, one holds to a more lenient view. But often liberalism is merely another name for what is really unorthodox.\n(3) Ad. Tanquerey observes (Synopsis Theologiae Dogmaticae, Descl\u00e9e et Socii, Roma, 1927: vol. I, p. 635) that the word tradere comes from \"trans\" and \"do\" (dare) which literally means to give across or to give over.\n(4) See ibid.\n(5) The irony of Protestantism is that while rejecting tradition, it, in fact, employs tradition in order to pass on from one generation to the next the Scriptures and its teachings about the Scriptures. This leads one to conclude that the Protestants were not so much against tradition as such. Rather, they were (are) against Catholic tradition.\n(6) In this case, Scripture is distinguished from tradition as Scripture is written, whereas tradition, in the stricter sense, refers to those things passed on which were not written down.\n(7) Divine tradition is further divided according to dominical tradition (that which was given directly by Our Lord while on earth) and apostolic tradition (that which the Apostles passed on under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost).\n(8) Tanquerey, op. cit., p. 636f and Christian Pesch, Praelectiones Dogmaticae (Herder & Co., Friburgus, 1924), vol. I, p. 397f.\n(9) Vatican I, Pastor Aeternus, chpt. 2 (Denz. 1825/3058).\n(10) Aristotle, Metaphysics, Bk. I, chpt. 1 (980a22).\n(11) This indicates that one must distinguish between that which pertains to the Deposit and that which does not. The Church sometimes passes judgment on the Deposit of Faith in order to clarify the teaching contained within the Deposit for the good of the Church, e.g. when Pius IX declared the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady. Other magisterial acts are merely extrinsic to the Deposit of Faith and do not necessarily point to anything within the Deposit, but which may be connected to the Deposit in some way. This would include some ordinary magisterial acts as well as matters of discipline. However, more is contained in ecclesiastical tradition than just the acts of the magisterium.\n(12) Here we have in mind those who develop heterodox teachings of their own (heresies), spiritualities and customs which are contrary to the teachings of the Church.\n(13) Rationalism is any one of the views that attribute excessive importance to human reason. Often rationalists hold that all of our knowledge is innate, i.e. we already have all our knowledge within ourselves from the beginning and that knowledge is not acquired by means of the senses.\n(14) Empiricism is a system which holds that the sense knowledge is the only form of knowledge. Empiricists do not hold that there is anything beyond the material or if there is anything beyond the material, we are incapable of knowing it because our only form of knowledge is sense knowledge.\n(15) Kant held that we are incapable of knowing things in themselves, i.e. we do not really know things outside of ourselves. He held that any experience we have is received according to a priori categories which are in the mind and which impose structure and order on our experiences. As a result, man is essentially cut off from knowing anything in reality because his mind changes the experience according to these categories.\n(16) When Christ was on earth, He used sensible signs that we could see and hear. He used sensible signs in order to teach us about spiritual realities which are not physical or material.\n(17) Rene Descartes lived from 1596-1650. He was a rationalist who began his philosophy by systematically doubting the truth of the senses and so his philosophy starts in the intellect rather than in reality.\n(18) Benedict Spinoza lived from 1632-1677. He held that there was one thing and only one thing, viz. God and all of us are merely part of God. Since God was eternal and did not change, then what we see in the world is not really changing. Spinoza used the phrase \"Deus sive Natura\" which employs the inclusive \"or\" (sive) in Latin to show that God and nature were the same thing. This notion that God is nature and nature is God is the intellectual foundation for the current New Age movement in the West and it was also partly responsible for the eroding of the notion of God's transcendence. Spinoza was excommunicated by the Jews because of the incompatibility of his views with Judaism.\n(19) David Laird Dungan in his text A History of the Synoptic Problem (Doubleday, New York, 1999) recounts how Spinoza developed the historical/critical exegetical method and from that point on, Scripture studies began to deteriorate outside the Catholic sphere. Later, these same problems enter into the Church with the uncritical adoption of the same methods.\n(20) What this means is that if someone is only interested in what is sensibly pleasing or if they lead their lives according to their sensible appetites, they will not be interested in the past because the appetites are not interested in the past as such.\n(21) G.W.F. Hegel lived from 1770-1831. He, like Spinoza, held that there was one thing and only one thing. But the difference between Hegel and Spinoza was that Spinoza held that this one thing was static and did not change, whereas Hegel held that this one thing was in a constant state of flux. This one thing went from an original state, sometimes called a thesis, to its opposite which is sometimes called an antithesis. Then there is the merger of the two opposites within the one thing and that becomes the synthesis and the synthesis becomes the thesis in the next series of perpetual changes. This process was called the dialectic and it indicated that things were constantly advancing. Hence, the past became irrelevant.\n(22) See Laird, op. cit.\n(23) Immanentism is a philosophy which holds that anything of importance is contained within the individual, i.e. the individual becomes the measure or standard by which things are judged. \"Immanent\" comes from the two Latin words \"in\" and \"manere\" which means \"to remain in.\" Immanentism essentially holds that exterior reality is not important except to the extent that we can express ourselves in it. What is really important is that which is within ourselves.\n(24) There are actually more than three but these three are particularly important.\n(25) Epistemology is the branch of philosophy in which we investigate how man knows the world around him.\n(26) Descartes starts his Discourse on Method with a systematic doubt about everything which cannot be known with certitude. Since, for him, the senses can be deceived, he doubted them. The problem is that the senses put us into contact with reality and if we cut ourselves off from reality by doubting our senses, there is no epistemological foundation for being able to know reality. The empiricists held that we only know our sensations and not the things which correspond to those sensations. Hence, all we know is sense knowledge but not necessarily things outside of ourselves.\n(27) Etienne Gilson in his various epistemological works demonstrated that Transcendental Thomism was untenable. Transcendental Thomism is a philosophical system in which the epistemology of Descartes is merged with Thomism. Gilson showed that once one accepts the cogito of Descartes (i.e. the beginning point of his epistemology, viz. one begins in thought and not in reality first) one is not able to get back to reality. In this respect, Gilson's works are of particular importance today.\n(28) As this is transposed to the domain of theology, since one cannot know things outside of oneself, then God must speak to one directly through one's conscience or some interior experience. This Kantian notion provided the intellectual foundation for the Protestant's theory of the subjective religious experience.\n(29) His work On Religion is where this finds a full expression.\n(30) Maurice Blondel lived from 1861-1949.\n(31) \"Letter on Apologetics\" as found in the article by Peter J. Bernardi, \"Maurice Blondel and the Renewal of the Nature/Grace Relationship,\" Communio 26 (Winter 1999), p. 881.\n(32) The heresy of Modernism has occurred in four phases. The first was the initial phase which began around 1832 when it was called liberalism until the beginning of the First Vatican Council in 1869. The second phase was the intelligentsia phase in which it began to infect the Catholic intelligentsia more thoroughly and this occurred from 1870 to 1907 at which time Pope St. Pius X formally condemned Modernism. Then from 1907 until about 1955 to 1960, the underground phase occurred in which the Modernist teachings were propagated by some of the intelligentsia in the seminaries and Catholic universities, though quietly. Then, in the latter part of the 1950s, a superficial phase began in which the intellectual energy was exhausted and what was left was the practical application of the vacuous teachings of Modernism which occurred during the period in which the Second Vatican Council was in session and persists until this date. Vatican II was the catalyst or opportunity seized by the past and current superficial intellectuals who teach things contrary to the teachings of the Church.\n(34) Blondel, in fact, wanted to go back to an earlier tradition and ignore the tradition which was passed on to him. This essentially meant that Blondel and other Modernists wanted to get away from medieval traditions which begot the Mass of Pius V and go back to earlier traditions because they were congruent with the immanentized experiences of modern man.\n(35) Bernardi observes this but in a positive way in loc. cit.\n(36) This was John XXIII's word for updating the Church.\n(37) That is we are living with the full effects of the superficial stage of Modernism. For example, unlike previous generations there are no great theologians; theological discourse and writing in scholastic journals lacks the depth afforded the subjects that were given to it, even just fifty years ago, and there seems, in general, to be a lack of intellectual advancement of the science of theology.\n(38) While the current magisterium can change a teaching which is under non-infallible ordinary magisterial teaching, nevertheless, when the magisterium makes a judgment in these cases, it has a moral obligation due to the requirements of the moral virtue of prudence to show how the previous teaching was wrong or to be understood differently by discussing the two different teachings. However, this is not what has happened. The magisterium since Vatican II often ignores previous documents which may appear to be in opposition to the current teaching, leaving the faithful to figure out how the two are compatible, e.g. as we see in Mortalium Animos and Ut Unum Sint. This leads to confusion, infighting within the Church as well as the appearance of contradicting previous Church teaching without explanation or reasoned justification.\n(39) For instance, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) in 1975 (Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics as found in the official English translation of the Vatican by The Wanderer Press, 128 E. 10th St., St. Paul, MN 55101) asserts the following regarding masturbation: \"The main reason is that, whatever the motive for acting this way, the deliberate use of the sexual faculty outside normal conjugal relations essentially contradicts the finality of the faculty.\" This indicates that regardless of one's intention or motive, the act is in itself gravely immoral. Then in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (editio typica, Libreria Editrice Vatican, 1997) a definition is given which seems to allow for different intentions to modify whether such an act is evil or not: \"Masturbationis nomine intelligere oportet voluntarium organorum genitalium excitationem, ad obtinendam ex ea veneream voluptatem,\" i.e. \"by the name masturbation it must be understood as the voluntary excitement of the genital organs to obtain from it venereal pleasure.\" The last part of the definition therefore includes in the act of masturbation a finality, viz. \"to obtain from it venereal pleasure.\" This appears to contradict the prior teaching of the Church as well as the teaching of the CDF. If one does not do it for the sake of pleasure, does that mean that it is not masturbation? For example, if one does it for the sake of determining one's fertility, does this justify it? One can rectify the situation by arguing that when it is done for the sake of pleasure it is an instance of masturbation, but that the actual definition is what the Church has always held. Clearly, however, this example is testimony to how careless the magisterium has become in its theological expression.\n(40) The term is the author's own designation for this phenomenon.\n(41) Neo-conservatives as a general rule accept Scripture and give it a rather prominent place. But Scripture along with intrinsic tradition are not that much of a norm for them except insofar as the current magisterium asserts the necessity for following them as a matter of orthodoxy.\n(42) Positivism is a philosophical system in which one regards only the sensible, the particular (singular) experience, as real and holds that only the knowledge of such facts is certain because only they can be (physically) verified. This would mean any reality which is not physical is to be denied. Positivists tend to hold that legislation does not have to be founded on any other principle than the mere fact that a given authority promulgates it. Since tradition or past history is not something tangible, it is ignored.\n(43) Many of the things which the neo-conservatives do are the result of implicitly adopting principles which they have not fully or explicitly considered. Many of them would deny this characterization because they do not intellectually hold to what, in fact, are their operative principles.\n(44) The world which God created is not to be despised because it is evil but because it is a good, i.e. because it is good we can become attached to it rather than God and, as a result, it can lead us to moral ruin. This requires us to live in the world but be detached from it. Sometimes the term \"world\" is also taken to include man and his moral corruption due to sin.\n(45) In fact, this seems to be the theme which is warned against by the magisterium prior to Vatican II.\n(46) As the dictum says, he who does not study history is bound to repeat it. This is because if you do not look at the present through the experience or eyes of the past, you will not take heed of the lessons learned by past generations. Furthermore, man's identity is determined in part by the history from which he comes. As a result, we do not fully understand ourselves and our circumstances without knowing where (historically) we came from.\n(47) This has caused many a traditional priest problems. Even when they are discussing liturgical matters with those who uphold the teachings of the Church, they are often faced with criticism of the Old Mass based upon principles which govern the New Mass. It is difficult even to discuss it coherently when the accepted principles or premises of those holding different views are fundamentally at odds.\n(48) This can also be asserted of the customs, morals and culture in the secular sphere.\n(49) This is, of course, a generalization. Not everyone of that generation agreed with the course of action that their own generation was taking.\n(50) What this means is that there is a certain restlessness today in the Church and its members cannot seem to leave things in the past alone. Perhaps this is due to their perspective which holds that the past, i.e. the extrinsic tradition, was inherently inadequate.\n(51) In philosophy, a distinction is made between notional and real assent. Notional assent is when the person may make an intellectual judgment that something is true, but it does not really determine his action or thinking. Real assent is when a person makes an intellectual judgment about the truth of some matter and actually lives and thinks according to it.",

        "raw_content": "Why Development of Organizational Agility Within Your Company is Extremely Tricky\nHelping businesses expand their presence and abilities in an ever-changing professional world is a true passion of mine. As a leader in your company, organizational agility has a lot to do with how successful you can be at expanding. I believe that every business develops a corporate culture over time, but for some companies, even if they want to setup a structure for all employees to follow, they never actually move forward with putting the process in place, hiring the right people, and allowing the culture to form naturally. In this clip with Patrick Henry, CEO of QuestFusion, I discuss organizational agility and how it differs from individual agility, and how you can start early on to develop your corporate culture.\nPatrick: Talk to me about individual agility versus organizational agility. Can you actually help companies with their organizational agility? If so, how do you do that?\nLeland: Organizational agility is a hard one, and as a result I\u2019ve migrated to smaller companies at earlier stages. My feeling is that you can\u2019t create your own culture as a young company. You can either develop your own culture, or your culture will create you.\nWhen a culture is deeply embedded by processes, rules, ways of behaving and what\u2019s accepted and what\u2019s not, it\u2019s hard to change. I know that company after company comes in talking about organizational change. You see the data that 15% of companies that go through a significant organizational change actually make the change. That\u2019s 85% that don\u2019t.\nSo, It\u2019s a challenging situation. I\u2019ve heard of companies that break themselves apart, which is where pharmaceuticals are going. Pharmaceuticals no longer have R&D as the mothership. They are tangential to the mothership because they need to be able to do it that way. That would be the example. My goal is to instead do it early. Get in early in the company and start the necessary conversations.\nPatrick: Get in early at an organizational level right? So, you\u2019re willing to do individual coaching within larger organizations, but when you start looking at organizational development or organizational change, you like working with smaller companies?\nLeland: I do, that is correct.\nbusiness, ceo, entrepreneur",

        "raw_content": "Smooth muscle cell growth\nby iym on September 18th, 2014, 9:49 am\nDoes anyone here know how often you should split smooth muscle cells? I'll be seeding them in a conc. of 0.83X10(5) cells/ml (1million cells in 12 ml of media). I'd like to split once a week, in order to suit my other experiments. Is this a good starting point or do will they overgrow within a week?\nE-mail iym\nRe: Smooth muscle cell growth\nby BioWizard on September 18th, 2014, 11:40 am\nAre these primary cells? If so, you need to pay attention not to go too low with the cell density, as it might affect viability.\nI think the best approach would be to look at your cells and determine if they require a minimum density to survive and divide healthily. Then, you should try to keep them somewhere between that minimum density and complete confluence.\nDo you know the doubling time?\nI don't know the doubling time. Do you? Do you know what is maximum of cells in a T75 flask?\nThe cells are from passage 4 though. It's human SMC\nby BioWizard on September 19th, 2014, 7:24 am\nI don't know the doubling time as I've never worked with these cells. Where did you obtain them from?\nHow many you can grow in a T75 flask depends on the size of the cells and how fast they grow. You can look at them every day under a light microscope and split them as needed.\nI'm not allowed to be in the lab during weekends due to insurance. Therefore it is sufficient for me.\nHowever, I read articles that the doubling time is ranging between 2-3 days for these cells. Therefore I chose to seed 2 million cells in order to obtain around 8.5 million cells after 1 week. (it is recommended to seed 2.1 million cells and they are confluent at 8.4 million cells in that kind of flask). However, after reactivating the frozen cells I saw a viability of only 1.167 million cells - hence I seeded all cell.\nYes cells usually take some time to recover from a freeze thaw. It's not a bad idea to passage everything the first time, until the cells are back up to speed. Just make sure they don't overgrow and go into starvation mode. If you're leaving them over the weekend, give them a little more media to be on the safe side.\nI personally prefer not to passage adherent cells after a thaw until they reach confluence. I just change the media over them instead. Of course though no rule applies to everything in biology and it's always best to read up on your particular situation and see what other people's experience has been. If you got these cells from ATCC, you can go on their website and get lots of useful information.\nby iym on September 19th, 2014, 10:51 am\nThese are human cells from tissue.\nI'll see how they proliferate, hopefully they have reached full confluency within a week\nI see.

        "raw_content": "Home \u00b7 Biology \u00b7 Physiology \u00b7 The Physiology of Self Defense\nThe Physiology of Self Defense\nIt is significant to note that martial arts and self defense are two whole separate entities.\nAlthough one can spend their entire lives learning flashy martial arts moves in which can take down five attackers at once, it in fact only takes a minimal amount of time to learn self defense techniques which can help you survive an unexpected attack. Self defense strategies implore the use of the physiology of the human body to permits you to take down any attacker, no matter their size or stages of fighting experience. The human body is certainly a powerful thing, but only if you truly learn how to use it to your advantage.\nSeveral people are shocked to search out that size really isn\u2019t all that important while it comes to defending yourself. A few of the best self defense tactics could be fully simply and painlessly by anyone, no matter what size they might be. The fact of the matter is, which you required to understand how the human body works and also how to make it work to your advantage. Also, the common criminal was likely trained to fight on the street. They will know how to be violent, but they won\u2019t know the similar strategies that someone who is properly trained in self defense techniques will have at their disposal.\nSeveral of the strategies included certain pressure points on the human body. If you become familiar with these points, you will simply be able to bring down an attacker twice your size with barely even an effort. Therefore, you required to have the confidence to be able to use these tactics when the time comes up. A few people, even those who are properly trained, will falter in a violent situation because mentally, they are not prepared. That is why preparing mentally as well as physically is crucial.\nSelf defense mentality includes the ability to remain calm even in high stress situations. The slightest error in judgement could be your downfall, so your mind required to be trained to analyze the situation and quickly come up along with a solution in a split seconds time. That is why all the best self defense training courses and videos focus not only on the physical, but on the mental as well. No matter how several skills you have, if you panic in the situation, you won\u2019t be able to use them.\nBut of course, the physical aspect of it is very significant. But it helps to remember in which it is something which absolutely anyone can learn. So just simple you aren\u2019t in the best physical shape or that you have no background in martial arts, there is no purpose to not learn how to protect yourself. A violent attacker can surface at any time, any place. Even if you live in an upscale neighborhood which you feel is free from violent crime, it can still happen. Most frequent, it is simply a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But with the proper self defense methods, you can turn your wrong time within the criminals wrong time, as he gets sent off to jail.\nEric is teacher having 6 years of experience in Science and provides Physiology Assignment Help and Online Assignment Help to students studying in abroad universities.\nThis is a an early 20th century compendium that explains physiology and the human body.

        "title": "ENERGIZING AFRICA:THE PRIVATE SECTOR MODEL-PART 1 - SHAPING AFRICAN CONVERSATIONS",
        "raw_content": "ENERGIZING AFRICA:THE PRIVATE SECTOR MODEL-PART 1\n\u201cIf you walk in the dark, you will stumble and you will fall but if you walk in the light, you constantly see things ahead of you and you can see opportunities... I know that the very blow of Africa\u2019s transformation and life is what we do with electricity...\u201d - Akinwumi Adesina, President of the AfDB\nThe challenge of energy provision in non-humanitarian contexts in Africa is characterized by, among others, lack of infrastructure, ineffective or absent government policy and crucially, affordability. The prohibitive cost of modern energy, though falling, seems to be the ultimate challenge to a sustained and sustainable energy provision for the vast majority of Africans living in poverty. The link between provision of energy and alleviation of poverty is proven and the complex scenarios most of the population faces need innovative solutions. Mobilization of the private sector coupled with policy changes to enable them to act could be a means of sustainable, cost effective and affordable energy provision.\nThe private sector is historically efficient and effective in innovating and providing services to paying customers, in pursuit of profit. This sort of focus and dedication to the end goal is sometime lacking in the implementation of on the ground actors trying to work in the traditional donor model of ending poverty. My experience of this is drawn from 4 years in the UK energy private sector and a year working with GVEP International, now Energy 4 Impact, on the ground in East Africa. Working as a Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) advisor under the World Bank funded EBD project and SIDA funded CARE 2, I have proven cases where the inclusion of the private sector has enabled affordable energy access at an accelerated yet sustainable pace. This is in line with working towards Sustainable Development Goal 7.\nOne example of the effectiveness of this approach is the solar home system (SHS) sector in East Africa. The private sector, led by the likes of M-Kopa, Mobisol and Off-GridElectric, has devised innovative pricing solutions and remote monitoring technology to bring down the operational cost of solar for the individual. Through their \u201clease to own\u201d system coupled with mobile money payment, they are enabling energy access to people who could only afford kerosene, at the same price as kerosene. The pace of growth demonstrated by these companies and thus the potential impact is much faster than traditional donation models and arguably more sustainable as both sides have something to lose; customers on one hand and investment in affordable clean energy on the other.\nI worked with Energy 4 Impact to provide pro-bono business consultancy to clean energy SMEs. We helped refine business models, target growth strategies, form partnerships with other actors in the sector and access capital of various forms, all with the aim of making them investor ready. There is a wealth of innovation, problem solving and an impressive array of technologies and business models. However, I observed and understood a limiting factor for the private sector, specifically emerging social enterprises; lack of access to finance and the related business advisory services. If I was a donor in the energy sector, I would enable the private sector and make myself virtually redundant; this is where I would start.\nNote: This is a guest post by MAKENA IRERI an Engineer, Energy professional and blogger.

        "raw_content": "14. Can you tell me more about the therapy?\nThe Sharper Minds program is a very effective therapy program for enhancing mental performance and for overcoming Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ ADHD), various types of dyslexia, vision coordination, cognitive dysfunction, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and other behavioral and cognitive problems. It can also be used to stave off the effects of aging, such as senility and the earlier phases of Alzheimer\u2019s. As a side benefit, there is also notable improvement in athletic performance as well.\nIt is a whole brain approach that includes elements of physical and occupational therapy, vision and auditory therapy, stroke therapy, balance training, counseling and much more. It also addresses behavioral and social concerns.\nTo help understand the brain and thus the therapy, permit me to draw a comparison between the human brain and a computer. For a computer to function correctly, it has to have two separate categories working correctly together: the hardware and the software. The hardware is the tangible parts of the computer including the box, power supply, circuit boards, integrated circuits, hard drive, memory, etc. The software consists of the computer programs that you use to do useful tasks. This may include Microsoft\u00ae Windows, Word or Excel, games, your Internet browser, e-mail programs, etc. If either the hardware or software has defects, the computer will not run properly and will be frustrating to those who try to use it. Have you ever had a computer or computer program lock up on you? Or seen the \u201cblue screen of death?\u201d\nIn an analogous sense, for a person to function correctly, both the hardware (the brain and its 100\u2019s of trillions of connections) and the software (the brain\u2019s programs) have to be working correctly. If either category has defects, malfunctions (cognitive dysfunctions) will take place with the resultant frustrations, misperceptions, missed responses, poor behavior, misunderstanding of consequences, anger, withdrawals, etc.\nTrue Attention Deficit Disorder (an irregular mental tempo) is a problem that some limited MRI and PET scan studies suggest originate in the frontal lobes of the brain. Dyslexia is a problem that is usually observed in a region in the temporal lobe above an ear. These, along with other organic dysfunctions such as autism and schizophrenia, could be considered \u201chardware\u201d issues.\nRelating to software issues, the five most critical of the brain\u2019s programs or processes are the ability to discern correctly: size, shape, position-in-space, figure-ground, and directionality (These are explained in more detail at the evaluation appointment). It is very common for children or adults who have ADD-like symptoms to have moderate to severe problems in two or more of these 5 critical functions. When a person is having problems in one or more of these areas, resulting behaviors are quite predictable.\nOur cognitive therapy program works on both the hardware and software issues. It first works in promoting proper whole brain function, especially that of brain bilateral function through the use of innovative whole brain exercises. This is done through a carefully structured series of physical exercises involving movement of the major muscle groups, done in conjunction with multi-sensory stimuli. Each set of exercises builds on the previous ones, each resulting in higher levels of mental function.\nThis portion of the therapy has its scientific validation in studies that demonstrate that the human brain has the ability to generate new nerve cells (in the subventricular zone) and to have those nerve cells migrate through the body of the brain (the corpus callosum) to areas where higher cognitive functioning takes place. This process of brain change is called neuroplasticity. Our program focuses on nerve growth with resultant \u201cpermanent\u201d effects.\nSecondly, we work on the brain\u2019s program/processes to permit the individual to accurately perceive their environment and surroundings. Thus the problems that a child or adult might have with perceiving size, shape, direction, figure-ground or position-in-space are corrected, improving the behaviors that result from the misperceptions.\nAs capabilities improve, we add in distractions or the principle of challenge, increasing performance under stress. We also incorporate program success skills, essential to common sense approaches to dealing with the program and life\u2019s challenges. As many ADD children act out and misbehave, we also provide parents with parenting tools and techniques which help regain loving control of the child.\nHow the above methods, techniques and therapy are actually carried out will be taught to participating families at the appropriate times.\nAs explained earlier, our neural-cognitive therapy is a \u201cpermanent solution\u201d for ADD, dyslexia and other learning problems. It is not a mask or temporary fix that wears off like drugs or herbs. It optimizes the productive or realized intelligence of an individual, allowing them to take full advantage of their innate or inborn intelligence and thus enjoy life to the fullest!\nNot only is the child optimized, but the frustration and pain that parents have felt are removed as well, bringing a level of peace and satisfaction to parents that many have not previously felt.",

If kids with dyslexia read letters backwards, why can't we just teach them to \"flip\" the way they see them so that they can read like normal kids?\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Let's get one thing straight: kids with dyslexia ARE normal kids. They just have brains that aren't necessarily wired to be really good at reading - just as others of us have brains that make us not so hot at singing, sewing, football, or whatever.\nHere's another: there's a lot more to dyslexia than just reading words backwards. There are all kinds of ways that kids scramble up words and can't grasp their meaning quickly and accurately. There are all kinds of learning problems besides reading that are being lumped under the catch-all label, including difficulty with spelling and difficulty with handwriting. We've known about reading dysfunction since the late 1800s, when British and Scottish physicians called it \"congenital word blindness.\" Other doctors, including Americans E. Bosworth McCready and Samuel Orton, pioneered in our knowledge about reading disabilities early in the 20th Century.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Here's another point to ponder: dyslexia is a \"continuum\" disorder. It's a syndrome, rather than a distinct condition with medically-defined symptoms and causes. When you hear a statistic such as \"15% of the students in our district have learning disabilities,\" recognize that the vast majority of those have mild to moderate cases that are very treatable. In fact, the vast majority don't even need to be in special ed in the first place.\nVery, very few children have a physical, hard-wired \"learning disability\" due to something in their brains that blocks their ability to learn. Almost without exception, even these few can be brought up to high functionality with teaching and common-sense helps.\nOur ability to learn is on a continuum the same way our ability to move is. A very, very few children will grow up to be professional athletes, most of us fall somewhere in the middle, and a very, very few children have serious, permanent, physical handicaps. But with teaching and common-sense helps, even seriously handicapped children can acquire a high degree of functionality in this world. It's the same thing with the learning ability curve.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd One more fact: up to 40% of fourth graders read at a measured level termed \"below proficient,\" but only a fraction of them might have dyslexia. Some people say it's fewer than 1% of the population; others say it's as much as 20%. But whatever it is, it exists in far fewer cases than the cases of reading disability, so reading disability can't just be chalked up to inborn difficulties or problems at home.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Here's the most shocking of all: in many school districts, there are many, many children diagnosed with learning disabilities who are said to have dyslexia. But increasingly, the experts are saying that's false.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Based on recent brain research using MRI scans and other technology, the experts are concluding that the symptoms that we term \"dyslexia\" can be prevented if the child is taught to read with a specific phonics-only approach, rather than the Whole Language philosophy that pervades the vast majority of schools today,\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The evidence is showing that fewer than 1% of the children with some sort of reading dysfunction are actually, physically dyslexic, and need special education outside the mainstream. All the rest of the children with reading difficulties would have perfectly adequate literacy skills if they had adequate reading instruction in the early grades of school. So all the low self-esteem and huge expenditures that the recent wave of \"learning disabilities\" has spawned could have been prevented. And should be, in the future.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd It looks as though faulty methods of teaching reading in our schools are creating this epidemic of learning disabilities.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd So what's a parent to do? Teach your child to read yourself, at home, with curriculum from www.spalding.org or www.howtotutor.com\nHomework: An excellent article on dyslexia and what's being done to help children with it ran in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: www.post-gazette.com/pg/07042/760823-298.stm\nBy Susan Darst Williams \ufffd www.ShowandTellforParents.com \ufffd Special Leaners 05 \ufffd \ufffd 2008",

        "raw_content": "Hollywood Makes it Look so Damn Easy!\nEver notice how little focus Hollywood puts on infertility issues? There have been a few scattered examples over the years, but I had to do some digging to find them. Tina Fey has gone to the well twice for comedic effect, with Baby Mama and 30 Rock. Friends addressed it, somewhat inaccurately, with Monica and Chandler (the writers didn\u2019t seem to quite know how it all worked \u2013 biologically or legally \u2013 and, despite some minor setbacks, adoption went way too smoothly for them). Some shows go a little deeper, like Sex and the City, but even that had the inevitable happy TV ending. I\u2019ll grant that How I Met Your Mother didn\u2019t resort to the happy miracle resolution with Robin, but it also used only an episode or two to deal with it.\nIn my research, I came across a 1998 Lifetime movie, called The Baby Dance, which deals with the clich\u00e9 of the wealthy infertile couple adopting/buying a baby from the poor fertile couple, but with a disturbing twist ending. 1989\u2019s Immediate Family is another \u201cadoption gone awry\u201d film. Then there\u2019s the absurdly funny, Raising Arizona, returning to the \u201ccomedy that is infertility\u201d route. The only film I could find that deals with a couple dealing with IVF was the UK film, Maybe Baby, but that again went the comedy route. Where is the true depiction of the struggle and the pain, and fears of never having the family you dream of?\nOf course, when it comes to a situation like mine, the examples are even more rare. Jennifer Lopez\u2019s film, The Back-up Plan, and the TV series, Oh Baby! both deal with single women who decide the time is right to start a family on their own. But, in both cases, the conception part gets resolved very quickly (Lopez gets pregnant with twins on the first IUI treatment - oh, and meets her dream guy, by the way. Not that I'm bitter.), allowing the producers to move on to the much more comedically \u201cfertile\u201d ground of pregnancy.\nAnd let\u2019s face it, we all know what a laugh riot pregnancy is \u2013 at least in Hollywood. The list of films and TV shows that mine pregnancy for laughs is too long to even mention. Accidental pregnancy abounds in Hollywood (on screen I mean; not meant to be a slight on anyone\u2019s moral character). Conception generally revolves around one-night stands and illicit teen relationships. But the real comedy goldmine is those 40 weeks of hormones! If a show/film does go the drama route, again it seems more likely that they will focus on the pregnancy, and what the expectant mom/parents deal with as the delivery gets closer. Frankly, if it weren\u2019t for the fact that \u201csex sells,\u201d I\u2019m not sure any of us would even know where babies come from, if we had to rely on Hollywood to tell us!\nAccidental late-life pregnancy seems to be an especially popular theme in family sitcoms. Because, of course, once the kids get too old, they stop being cute, and there\u2019s less for the parents on the show to do. So, couples over 40 in sitcom land are constantly getting pregnant (lookin\u2019 at you, Steven and Elyse Keaton! And everyone before and since). This is, of course, usually timed near the beginning of a season so that the May sweeps finale can feature the birth (usually involving some kind of delivery trauma that gets happily resolved in 22 minutes plus commercials). The convenience of this strategy, obviously (other than ratings), is to allow the baby to age four years in the four-month summer hiatus. Because, as we know, once the novelty of Mom and Dad\u2019s \u201cWe\u2019re too old for this sh*t\u201d shtick wears off, babies are boring on TV. But, that\u2019s an entry for another day.\nSo, where is the story that shows the true emotional, psychological and, ahem, financial toll that infertility takes on women/couples? At this point, I should put in an honorable mention for one of my favorite cop shows, Flashpoint, a Canadian production that featured an episode that showed just how traumatizing the process can be. Unfortunately, the show then loses some points for going the clich\u00e9 route by having the 40-something cop and his wife (parents of a 16-year-old) get unexpectedly pregnant, resulting in the time-honored complicated delivery. Although, I\u2019ll allow that they did address the age thing a bit, and they managed to have the dad get shot on the day of the delivery, just to up the drama! So a bit of a departure from the norm.\nStill, the world of infertility, and the women and men who fight a daily struggle to reach their dreams, is vastly underrepresented in Hollywood. What is the answer? I suppose it\u2019s about finding compelling stories that audiences can connect to. Is that really so hard? There are so many compelling stories. So, is it that these stories are just not being written? Or are we too uncomfortable with talking about this sensitive aspect of life? I don\u2019t know. Maybe I should stop griping and start writing. I am an aspiring screenwriter, after all. Maybe the answer to wondering when I\u2019m going to see a film about the struggles of infertility is to just write one. But right now, I\u2019m too busy actually trying to get pregnant, dammit!\nMoods are a funny thing. Overall, I\u2019d probably say that I\u2019m a positive and even-keeled person. And I\u2019m a pretty self-aware person as well. So, when I feel down, depressed or angry, I tend to examine and analyze everything I can think of until I hit on a reason for the mood. I\u2019m not a big fan of \u201cfree-floating anxiety,\u201d and it kind of pisses me off if I have to accept that as a reason for how I feel. I need to know. Some might say it\u2019s stupid to look for a reason for a bad mood because finding it will just make the mood worse. But, from my perspective, the mood is already bad, and not knowing the reason doesn\u2019t help you move past it. Actually, for me, the uncertainty is what makes the mood worse.\nSo then I have to go and start taking hormones. For the most part, I tend to feel that I don\u2019t have much in the way of side effects from medication \u2013 OK, beyond the all-over body rash I get from Naprosyn and the occasional f***ed up dreams I get from Vicodin. But other than that, I don\u2019t usually have too many issues with meds. So, at first I wanted to believe that I wasn\u2019t having any real reaction to the various fertility meds I\u2019ve been taking. That would be before I tore into my class for not raising their hands during attendance. Oh, and having a total meltdown over an Olympic hockey game.\nFirst, the class. I went in one morning, and I knew I was in a bad mood. I even told the students that I was in a bad mood and they should not do anything to make it worse. I laughed it off, and so did they. Then I started taking attendance and the students just sat there, looking at me, and now acknowledging their names. I pretty much exploded, saying it was fine if they wanted to sit there like lumps and get marked absent. I didn\u2019t care if they couldn\u2019t put forth the effort to raise their hands. It wasn\u2019t me who was going to fail. Yeah, so I overreacted a bit. At that point they really just sat and stared at me \u2013 it was clearly out of character for me, and they didn\u2019t quite know how to react. I took a deep breath and just finished the attendance, although I did mutter, \u201cIt\u2019s not like I didn\u2019t warn you.\u201d\nI didn\u2019t put that down to the hormones though. Probably because I didn\u2019t want to. I don\u2019t know what it is, but I guess I looked at it as a sign of weakness to admit that the meds could control my moods so strongly. I always have prided myself on my self-control, and didn\u2019t like to admit that my control had slipped. I knew that I had gotten a little emotional in the past with the meds (like crying at TV commercials), but I had never experienced such anger.\nThe worst of it probably continued for about four days \u2013 alternating anger and depression. On one of those days, I had recorded the Women\u2019s Gold Medal Final hockey game from Sochi. I had stuff to do that day, so I waited to watch it \u2013 I chose to watch the figure skating first, and then the hockey game later. I had been looking forward to this game between USA and Canada for the entire Olympics. But before I could watch it, I got a call from Dr. K\u2019s office, and I had to go get some paperwork. I made it all the way home without finding out the score (even through a conversation about the Olympics on the bus). While I was waiting for the elevator in my building, though, I heard one of my building porters talking about the game and Team USA\u2019s heartbreaking loss.\nCompletely illogically, my world fell apart. I got on the elevator and went upstairs, fighting tears. Walking from the elevator to my apartment, I punched the wall. I barely made it into my apartment before I started sobbing hysterically, cursing the fates, and throwing things. Seriously, I started throwing things over a hockey game. This lasted for a good twenty minutes or so. When I finally calmed down a bit, I took a long, hard look at what had just happened. I knew my reaction was astronomically out of proportion to the situation. And it was completely and utterly unlike me.\nI finally had to acknowledge that it was a result of the hormones. And I surprised myself by not being disgusted with myself for being weak. I actually felt free. I had acted like a complete lunatic, but it wasn\u2019t my fault! It was the hormones! What a relief! Although, God help me if this is a preview of what I\u2019ll experience once I do get pregnant. Sheesh!\nAnd lord knows what my students think of me at this point!\nThe Rom-Com Theory\nI\u2019m very lucky to have a good group of friends \u2013 the \u201cInner Circle,\u201d as they\u2019ve come to be known throughout this process. When I\u2019m stressing out and on the ledge, they can always talk me off with good sense and logic. And, the occasional theory.\nIn this case, the situation that put me on the ledge was finding out that Fairfax Cryobank is sold out of James Bond. I only have one vial left from my original order, and they need two to do the IVF (one serves as a backup). But, when I went to Fairfax\u2019s website, I found out that there is a waitlist for that donor. I panicked. What the hell was I supposed to do now? I dragged out the old profiles from the Donor Party, and pulled out the one for the runner-up, the \u201cEveryday Joe\u201d from California Cryobank. I checked their site, and he has plenty of vials left. But I didn\u2019t know if I should go ahead and order his vials, or start the process all over again, since there have been many new donors added.\nThere was no time for another Donor Party (I would need the sample next week), and I dreaded doing all the legwork of searching the profiles that I had to do last time. I talked to Keith, and he said, \u201cWell, this guy was second right? So, if James Bond didn\u2019t exist, you would have chosen him.\u201d See, good logic. But, being me, I needed more input, so I put it to the Inner Circle in a private Facebook message. The response was unanimous. As my friend, Maria, put it: \u201cOrder Now!\u201d But, my friend Tracy probably put it best: \u201cUse the rom/com approach. It\u2019s never the one she plans on, who looks perfect on paper. It\u2019s that other guy, the dark horse, who turns out to be the one.\u201d\nAnd our Everyday Joe was definitely the dark horse in Sperm Madness. In fact, it had earned him the nickname, \u201cCinderella\u201d because he was the underdog who made it all the way to the Championship Round. From one round to the next, he didn\u2019t seem memorable, but every time he was pitted against an opponent, he always came out on top. So I decided that Tracy had the perfect view on it. James Bond looked great on paper, and he was the guy the bank staff swooned over. But Cinderella is \u201cthe Enduring Optimist\u201d who \u201cradiates positivity.\u201d He\u2019s tall and athletic and, while not possessed of supermodel looks, was an adorable kid.\nCinderella did have one thing working against him in the original head-to-head competition. His father had colorectal cancer at age 50. As I stated in the Sperm Madness entry, I had my concerns given Dad\u2019s history. But, that may not be a factor. For this round of IVF, James Bond is the primary donor. They\u2019ll only use Cinderella if something goes wrong with James Bond\u2019s vial. But, if this IVF does not work, and we end up going the route of egg donation, then it becomes a non-issue. Cinderella will be the donor for egg donation, and my family medical history no longer matters. I\u2019ve already told the coordinators that I want them to screen for a history of colorectal cancer, and I will reiterate that once we know we are going that route.\nAnd who knows, maybe James Bond will pull it out in the end. He has one last chance to get the girl, as it were, before he has to give up the field to Cinderella. So, like the heroines of the Rom-Coms, I will trust in my friends\u2019 advice and leave it up to the fates to decide who I \u201cend up\u201d with!\nThe Specter of 9/11\nI suppose that you wouldn\u2019t expect a blog about a woman\u2019s quest to have a baby would have an entry about September 11th. However, in my case, the two seemingly disparate topics are inextricably linked. After the attack at the World Trade Center, I worked for nearly six months as a Salvation Army volunteer at what came to be known as Ground Zero. It was a transformative experience in so many ways. I gained an incredible sense of fulfillment from being able to do my part to help in the relief effort, even if my part was just serving up food or sweeping the floor for eight hours one memorable night (I even got a somewhat condescending sweeping lesson from a supervisor in front of ABC anchor Peter Jennings).\nThat experience also led me directly to seek a new path, which resulted in my brief but fascinating Foreign Service career. That experience, in turn, led me directly to the Fulbright Classroom Teacher Exchange Program, which allowed me to teach in London for a year. From my time at Ground Zero, to my Foreign Service Experience, to my year in England, I grew a great deal as a person, and I made friends that I wouldn\u2019t trade for the world. It\u2019s a testament to the truth that incredible good can come from incredible evil.\nBut, of course, incredible evil comes on the heels of incredible evil as well. The evil that I\u2019m talking about in this case is not the recognized evil of the lives lost on that day, but the lives lost since that day, and the men and women who continue to struggle with 9/11-related illnesses. No one wants to talk about it, but the truth is, the victims of September 11th may never be fully tallied. Dedicated people, like John Feal of the Fealgood Foundation, and the people behind the scenes at the 9/11 Health Registry continue to advocate for those who suffer every day.\nThat\u2019s where these topics collide. I have mentioned the loss of my parents before, but I have not mentioned that there has been speculation about whether my mother\u2019s uterine cancer could have been linked to the time she spent volunteering with my at Ground Zero. Given that she had no other risk factors, it was deemed a viable possibility, enough so that she was honored with her name on the 9/11 Responders Remembered Wall. Of course, it\u2019s impossible to know for sure because cancer is such a complex disease and sometimes people just get sick. But, as more research is done, there seems to be more evidence that women\u2019s reproductive cancers could be linked to Ground Zero toxins.\nSo then there\u2019s me. I haven\u2019t exactly stuck my head in the ground when it comes to 9/11 health issues. I know, for example, that my time down there did result in my now having mild asthma. But, I have to admit, I have shied away a bit from the health monitoring and screening. At the beginning, it was because I didn\u2019t want anything to affect my medical clearance for the Foreign Service. Afterward, I told myself to register, but somehow I keep putting it off. Maybe I don\u2019t want to acknowledge that I could become ill from my time as a volunteer. I had successfully ignored it for a while, until last week, when I got an email from a friend who is involved with the health registry. They are putting together a new survey for participants and are trying to decide if questions about women\u2019s reproductive cancers, as well as fertility issues, should be included in the new survey.\nGuess I can\u2019t ignore it anymore. Could the fertility issues that I have experienced, like the low egg reserve, be linked to Ground Zero toxins? I asked Dr. K about it, and he said that he has never heard of a link before. Of course, that\u2019s not definitive is it? The whole point of deciding whether to include these questions on the survey is to try to figure out if a link exists. Determining a causal relationship may be next to impossible, but if we can determine a pattern, then maybe, in time, something can be done. Of course, I don\u2019t have that kind of time (in terms of childbearing years), and even if I could say today that my issues were related to Ground Zero toxins, it wouldn\u2019t really change anything. Regardless of what caused these issues, they exist, and we just have to deal with them. I don\u2019t think Dr. K would change the treatment \u2013 what would we change?\nThat said, the specter looms. Will I ever know for sure? Does it matter in the end? And, most importantly, would I have changed anything twelve years ago if I had known how things would turn out? I honestly believe the answer to all of those questions is no. I also believe that there is no value in dwelling in/on the past. Without a TARDIS, I can\u2019t change it, even if I wanted to. And, I know, in my heart, I wouldn\u2019t be the person I am, in the place I am, if everything (the good and the bad) had not gone exactly as it did.\nLabels: 9/11, Baby, Fertility Treatment, New York, Personal Story, SMBC",

        "raw_content": "You are here: Home / Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures / EWIC Reviews / EWIC Reviews- Maira Vol. 1\nEWIC Reviews- Maira Vol. 1\nReviewed by: Sunaina Maira, Asian American Studies, University of California at Davis\nPublished by: H-Gender-MidEast (October, 2004)\nWeb Page: https://networks.h-net.org/node/6386/reviews/6653/maira-joseph-encyclopedia-women-and-islamic-cultures-volume-one\nAstutely Conceptualized: Interdisciplinary, Transhistorical, and Transnational\nThe Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures (EWIC) is a historic, timely, and ambitious project that exemplifies a moment in the academy when the study of \"women and Islamic cultures\" is being consolidated, establishing itself as an \"interdisciplinary, transhistorical, and transnational\" area, according to the general editor, Suad Joseph (p. xxxiii). The encyclopedia is an intervention into the relationship of women's/gender studies to Middle East studies and a way to account for the delayed absorption of feminist critique by Middle East studies, compared to other fields, according to Joseph (p. xl). The first volume of EWIC, \"Methodologies, Paradigms, and Sources,\" makes an important and unique contribution because it is not a collection of summaries of research areas, but presents \"critical tools\" that scholars and students can use in their own research (p. xxii). In the introduction, Joseph explains the goals of the project and notes that scholars were asked to consider \"primary sources and how their use has informed and shaped what is considered to be 'known' about women\" and to \"evaluate important changes in methodologies and sources\" and the \"specific political and social conditions under which knowledge is produced over time\" (p. xxiii).\nThe introduction also addresses the tensions between \"the ways in which encyclopedia projects tend to stabilize concepts and the editors' efforts to complicate and destabilize them\" (p. xxii). Joseph notes that four of the encyclopedia's primary organizing concepts--Islam, region, nation-state, and periodization--as well as the notion of feminism, of course, are \"troubled, shifting, politically burdened\" concepts that must be challenged, even as the encyclopedia documents research focused on these notions. This astute approach to encyclopedic knowledge provides a critical and important epistemological lens through which to read the entries in the first volume.\nThe volume is organized into two sections: first, thematic entries, focused on diverse regions covering periods from the sixth century in the Middle East, just before the rise of Islam in that area, and just prior to the introduction of Islam in other regions, to the present. The second section consists of disciplinary entries, spanning the major disciplines as well as interdisciplinary fields, such as women's studies/gender studies, Islamic studies, and legal studies, and also conceptual/methodological fields such as \"Orientalism\" and \"oral history.\" This allows for a historically and culturally situated understanding of research paradigms and methods for studying women and Islamic cultures, as well as disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to the field; this organizational distinction is useful because it forces attention to the ways in which paradigms and sources are shaped by research approaches to specific periods, regions, and disciplinary areas of knowledge, even if these categories are not always explicitly reflected on in all entries. There is an interesting connection, and sometimes an overlap, between the first and second sections, for the various periodized/regional entries generally emerge from disciplinary fields, and the disciplinary entries conceptualize regions and periods in diverse ways, thus providing multiple perspectives on questions of methodology and paradigms.\nOne of the themes highlighted at the end of the introduction is one of the key themes running through the entire volume, namely, that \"women are often the litmus test of what constitutes 'modernity.' Women are seen as the signifier par excellence of a culture, of a nation, of a civilization\" (p. xlix). As Gail Minault points out, \"Women remain symbolic both of everything that is wrong with society and of everything that men want their society to be\" (p. 178). This is a significant issue for the discussion of sources across the thematic entries, for several of them point to the ways in which women were charged with representing the nation and were associated with social reforms and legal or cultural debates, shaping the nature of sources available on women in Islamic cultures and restricting archives. Many scholars observe that documents addressing women produced by male reformers in various societies do not focus enough on women's daily lives and silence female voices. But Julia Clancy-Smith argues that one strategy to counter this bias in sources is to read these materials \"against the grain\" (p. 113). In some instances, court and legal records have helped counter stereotypes of Muslim women as inherently helpless and powerless (pp. 345, 430).\nSeveral entries also demonstrate how Orientalism and colonialism have shaped archives of knowledge about women and Islamic cultures. European colonial regimes in regions from North Africa to Southeast Asia produced documents about colonized populations for social control, so the archive during colonial periods in many regions consists largely of missionary tracts; colonial ethnographies; adminstrative, legal, and military documents; and writings of European travelers and settlers (p. 100). This textual and visual archive has all the problems of colonialist and Orientalist representations of women in Islamic cultures and of the empires' political and strategic interests, for example, a preoccupation with the mysterious harem in various regions (p. 64) and on tribals and nomads in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Afghanistan (p. 256). There is a tension between relying on sources that focus ideologically on women as symbolic of social and political issues and trying to go beyond political and judicial documents to look at the daily life of \"ordinary\" women (p. 179). Some scholars point out that elites tended to record their lives more than non-elites (p. 102) and that turning to women's literature, including memoirs and fiction, women's magazines, and other visual and poetic sources can shed light on the lived experiences of women across class backgrounds (pp. 64, 180, 344). Another strategy is to \"seek out women's oral accounts using technologies derived from cultural anthropology\" (p. 180).\nThere is an acknowledgment in the book that the influence of imperial and political interests continues to shape research on women and Islamic cultures, for \"Western geopolitical and strategic concerns\" underlie the current interest in \"Islam and Arabness\" (p. 198). A few scholars, including the editor in her introduction, explicitly discuss the politics of terminology, the production of categories such as \"Muslim,\" \"Middle Eastern,\" or \"Arab\" in conjunction with various shifts in state policies, particularly those of the United States. (pp. xxii, 192, 197). Some of these policies are associated with political interventions that have devastatingly tangible effects. For example, Laura Bier notes the burning of the Iraqi national archives in April 2003 during the U.S. invasion of Iraq (p. 201). One of the entries also explicitly points to the politics of the researcher's own position and identifications as they affect research on women and Islamic cultures (p. 363).\nThe disciplinary entries make note of shifts in various fields as they affect methods and paradigms for the study of women and Islamic cultures, for example, the \"Islamic trend\" in women's history that has brought a \"critical and contextualized reading of Islamic texts\" (p. 347). In contrast, the entry for political science observes that the discipline's reliance on rational choice theory and institutional sources neglects the activities and agency of women (p. 409). The institutionalization of women's studies in the United States has also obviously provided a context for the study of women and Islamic cultures, but this has also been accompanied by the biases of Western feminist discourse that has overlapped in many instances with Orientalist and imperialist approaches. This perhaps explains why there are two entries in the book for women's studies, one specifically focused on \"Euro-American Women's Studies and Islamic Cultures,\" in addition to an entry for \"Sexualities and Queer Studies.\"\nThe entries in both sections of the volume represent an enormous amount of hard work by an impressive collection of scholars and a very significant collection of expertise and critique. The first volume of the encyclopedia is clearly an astutely conceptualized project that that will greatly advance and support research on women and Islamic cultures at a critical moment in the development of this field of study.",

Offering the opportunity to be creative as a family, parents or carers will need to attend the sessions with their child. Although attendance at each of the three events is preferred, it is not essential.\nCounty Councillor Peter Buckley, Lancashire County Council\u2019s cabinet member for community and cultural services, said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted that we are hosting these free sessions at the library. They should be fascinating to attend and those taking part will be able to discover many interesting facts, including how Lemurs communicate, how the wonderful Aye-Aye\u2019s find their food and what type of animal a Golden Mantella is.\n\u201cIt isn\u2019t always possible for some children to be able to get to the zoo, so this fantastic safari ranger service brings the zoo to where they live.\u201d\nChester Zoo\u2019s safari ranger service started in 2010 offering free workshops to schools and community groups on an outreach basis. In 2017, the service expanded to have a greater focus on reaching audiences who face barriers to engaging with Chester Zoo, in particular children living in economically deprived areas.\nCommunity Engagement Manager at Chester Zoo, Hannah Brooks, said: \u201cMadagascar is an amazing and unique country and Chester Zoo is doing lots of work to protect the wildlife that lives there. This series of workshops is a great way for families to have fun together while learning about wildlife and how we can all do our bit to protect it.\u201d\nPlaces at the workshops are free but booking is essential.\nFor more information about the sessions, or to book a place, please call in at the library or phone 0300 123 6703.\nAlternatively visit www.lancashire.gov.uk/libraries.\n\u2190 Standing Shoulder to Soldier in Warrington\nJuly at Arts Centre is a midsummer dream for Shakespeare fans \u2192",

Boasting a catalog of hits, Hollywood success and a lifestyle that one could only dream of, it seems that Queen Bey was predestined for chart-topping greatness.\nAt one point in time, however, there was question as to whether the Houston, Texas native could match the success she enjoyed as part of Destiny's Child after deciding to embark on a solo career back in 2002. \"Work It Out,\" the lead single from the Austin Powers in Goldmember soundtrack, as well as Beyonce's first single after leaving the R&B group, failed to crack the Billboard 200 chart, creating doubt as to what her future sans Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams held.\nFortunately, Beyonce would go on to squash all uncertainty with her multi-platinum debut record, Dangerously In Love. Today, she stands as one of the most successful artists of all time, while artists that were previously compared to her\u2014and perhaps had even more promising launches\u2014have been surpassed by her superstar status.\nBelow, we're highlighting seven female artists that had the goods to surpass Beyonce... but didn't.\n7 Artists That Were Supposed To Surpass Beyonce...

        "raw_content": "Can Ethiopia lead the Horn of Africa to Peace and Prosperity?\nBy Prof Said Sh. Samatar\nMy remarks center around a simple question, which goes as follows: CAN ETHIOPIA LEAD THE COUNTRIES OF THE HORN TO PEACE AND PROSPERITY? I must answer the question in the affirmative. If I don\u2019t, I fear I\u2019d perish of despair. I believe that Ethiopia holds the key to the future of this desperate region. Or to put it differently, Ethiopia, in my view, represents the last best hope to lift the countries of the Horn out of abject poverty, social stagnation and cultural death. Making this claim raises a further question: what set of qualities combine to uniquely qualify Ethiopia to play a leadership in the march towards a better future for the poverty stricken masses of the Horn? First, Ethiopia, with its teeming millions, enjoys an unrivalled demographic weight. Then, there are the ancient glories. At the risk of repeating the obvious, this is a country steeped in an epic history, whose origins go back to that legendary union between the Great King Solomon, and even the Greater Queen of Sheba. Everyone knows the legend. Our unsuspecting queen journeyed to the royal court of the Wise Solomon, with a caravan laden with gifts of gold and silver, in order to \u201cdrink wisdom at Solomon\u2019s feet.\u201d\nEditor\u2019s Note: Following is a presentation that Said Samatar, professor of African History, made at the Ethiopian Studies Association, which took place in Addis Ababa at the end of last year.\nRead here: http://www.ethiox.com/print.php?type=N&item_id=1171",

Para ice hockey captain Josh Pauls on his inspirational journey, dominating the Paralympics\nJosh Pauls and the United States Para ice hockey team are two-time defending Paralympic gold medalists, and kicked off their PyeongChang 2018 campaign with a 10-0 thumping of Japan on Sunday.\nThe game was a rematch of the Vancouver 2010 gold medal game, when the Americans claimed their second Para ice hockey gold since it became a Paralympic event in 1994 with a 2-0 victory over the Japanese. The sport was re-branded from Ice Sledge hockey to Para ice hockey in 2016.\nYou might be wondering what Para ice hockey actually is, but the only significant difference between it and the able-bodied version is the equipment used. The sport follows the basic structure and rules of ice hockey, just played on sledges (or sleds) instead of skates and with two sticks rather than one.\nIt is one of just two team sports in the Paralympic Games, and was invented in the 1960s in Sweden at a rehabilitation center where disabled or injured hockey players found a way to continue their passion. It didn\u2019t make its Olympic debut far from it\u2019s place of birth, when the first Para ice hockey tournament was played at the Paralympic Games in Lillehammer, Norway.\nNorway are actually the only Paralympic ice hockey team with more medals (5) than the Americans (4), although the U.S. have the most gold medals with three. The American team are led by Josh Pauls, with the New Jersey native being named captain back in October. He paid his dues, spending the last three years as an alternate captain.\nNow in his tenth season with the U.S. national squad, he\u2019s racked up an incredible three world titles (2009,2012,2015) and two gold medals (Vancouver 2010, Sochi 2014). I was eager to hear his thoughts on the Americans\u2019 international Para ice hockey dominance in a sport traditionally dominated by the Canadians:\n\u201cIt\u2019s down to our hard work and the work of our coaching and support staff. It takes a lot to stay on top of the world for so long and Canada and the rest of the world has definitely closed the gap, but the support we\u2019ve gotten from our NGB (National Governing Body) and the USOC (United States Olympic Committee) has really made the difference.\u201d\nJosh has traveled all around the world competing with the best the sport has to offer during his career, and has accomplished an astonishing amount at just 25 years old. I was curious to hear about the quickly changing landscape of international Para ice hockey since he\u2019s been with the U.S. team:\n\u201cThe game has gotten so much faster and more skilled since 10 years ago. Different teams have risen up and more countries have started developing hockey teams, so the game is not only growing and gaining mainstream popularity, but the sport is developing on par with it\u2019s able bodied equivalent.\u201d\nThe way Para ice hockey players identify might be surprising to some. Although most are fans and fell in love with able-bodied hockey, the relationship between the sports is closely intertwined:\n\u201cAble-bodied hockey was always the mainstream way I saw hockey growing up and being a part of the Paralympics, especially with the coverage we\u2019ve received over the past 4 years, we hope to change that so that kids are inspired to be the sled hockey stars of tomorrow. Hockey is hockey. We always refer to ourselves as hockey players because the rules don\u2019t change much between hockey and Para ice hockey. It\u2019s called Para ice hockey because it\u2019s parallel to ice hockey.\u201d\nJosh hails from the hotbed of American hockey culture in New England, and was raised in Green Brook Township, New Jersey. This was certainly a massive influence on his participation in sled hockey from a young age. Joining the New York Rangers Sled Hockey club at just 10 years old, it\u2019s where he plyed his trade as a hockey player from 2002-2008. There were other significant factors he drew inspiration from as a kid, however:\n\u201cGrowing up in Jersey was awesome. I had great friends and a fantastic family that always held me accountable for my actions and inspired me to do great things. My family was huge in me falling in love with the game. My parents were big fans of hockey and I drew my passion and inspiration from them.\u201d\nWhen I asked whether sled hockey was a well-known activity when he was growing up and what the game means to him now, he had a rather surprising answer:\n\u201cIt wasn\u2019t. I had to wait two years after trying it to be able to play full time. It\u2019s grown tremendously since I started, and there are over 50 teams across the country for both adults and kids to get involved. Any sport can be an escape. When you\u2019re on the field of play you can focus just on the game and not worrying about any other distractions in your life.\u201d\nJosh certainly doesn\u2019t have time to be distracted. In 2011, he joined the St. Louis Blues Sled Hockey club, members of the Disabled Athlete Sports Association (DASA). The defenceman was candid about the difficulties of moving away from home at a young age to pursue his dreams, and how the Blues have evolved since he joined on:\n\u201cIt\u2019s been different but living in St. Louis for school prior to playing made the transition easier. My girlfriend, Katie, and her family were instrumental in helping me adjust to living on my own. Our expectations as a team have greatly increased. We went from a tier 2 championship to winning the tier 1 championship a few years later. It\u2019s been great to see how hard work has affected every player on our club.\u201d\nPauls is also a leader off the ice, coaching a high school team along with being a guest coach for the United States Hockey development program. I wondered if he was able to continue his role whilst preparing for the PyeongChang Games, and what advice he gives to young Para ice hockey hopefuls:\n\u201cI\u2019m not at the moment. I had to take some time to ensure my play was where it needed to be for this stage. If you love the game you\u2019ll find a way to play. That\u2019s not advice exclusive to disabled people, but kids in general.\u201d\nLike the 2014 Games in Sochi where the American Para ice hockey team defeated hosts Russia 1-0 to win it all, there is political turmoil surrounding this year\u2019s events. However, Josh thinks they are still far overshadowed by the unifying spirit of the Olympics and Paralympics:\n\u201cI think sports have a unique way of bringing the world together and the Olympics and Paralympics are the largest stages to do so.\u201d\nAs Josh and the team hope to claim an unbelievable third-straight gold medal next Sunday, 18 March, his elation on being named captain was met with a degree of competitive hesitation:\n\u201cIt was an absolute honor and something I had been dreaming of since I first made the team. However, it won\u2019t mean nearly as much without a gold medal around our necks when all is said and done.\u201d\nFeatured image credit: Joe Kusumoto and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC)\nTagged gold medal Hockey ice hockey IOC Josh Pauls Olympics Para Sport Paralympics Paralympics 2018 PyeongChang 2018 sled hockey Sochi 2014 USA USOC vancouver 2010\n\u201cBecause I loved boxing, people assumed that I wanted to be a boy\u201d: Stacey Copeland on women\u2019s boxing, perceptions of femininity and deciding against a nickname\n\u2018\u2018One day, that\u2019s going to be me\u2019\u2019 \u2013 Isaac Chamberlain on a life dedicated to boxing stardom\n26 October 2017 3 February 2018 04608",

        "raw_content": "Everything to Know About K-Pop Group BTS\tin News\nEverything to Know About K-Pop Group BTS\nMeet RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, Jung Kook and V\nHailing from South Korea, BTS is now the biggest boy band in the world, topping charts and setting records as they continue on their current world tour. Since their debut in 2013, the seven member group \u2014 which consists of RM, Suga, J-Hope, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook and V \u2014 have grown beyond the bounds of traditional K-pop acts, making a splash everywhere from Chile to California. Their devoted followers, styled as \u201cARMY,\u201d have kept them trending on social media at most public appearances, while their musical releases, like this summer\u2019s \u201cIdol,\u201d have broken records on YouTube and international and domestic charts.\nBut the boys of BTS try to stay grounded.\n\u201cThe first rule is to love ourselves,\u201d RM told TIME in a recent interview. \u201cLife has many unpredictable issues, problems, dilemmas. But if you admit it\u2026 I think the most important thing to live well [is to] be yourself. We\u2019re still trying to be us.\u201d To that end, they\u2019ve just concluded a sequence of albums based on the theme of self-acceptance \u2014 albums which have clearly hit a chord with their global audience.\nHere\u2019s everything you need to know about BTS, the international supergroup poised to continue their rise as one of the world\u2019s most popular musical acts.\nSo what does BTS stand for?\nThe name BTS was originally an acronym for \u201cBangtan Sonyeondan,\u201d which translates roughly to \u201cBulletproof Boy Scouts\u201d in English from the original Korean (\ubc29\ud0c4\uc18c\ub144\ub2e8), a reference to resilience. But BTS decided to rebrand their name in 2017 to now mean \u201cBeyond the Scene.\u201d\nWho are all the BTS members?\nRM (real name: Kim Nam-joon), rapper and leader, 24\nThe official leader of BTS, RM was the first member scouted by BTS founder Bang Si-hyuk; he was an underground battle rapper at the time. He\u2019s known for his rapping \u2014 he\u2019s collaborated with artists like Wale and even was the first of the group to release his own rap mixtape \u2014 and is also the only member of BTS who speaks English, which he taught himself by watching all the seasons of Friends. In September, he delivered an English-language speech to the U.N. General Assembly in New York City supporting youth empowerment initiatives. \u201cNo matter who you are or where you\u2019re from, your skin color, your gender identity, speak yourself,\u201d RM said in the speech.\nSuga (real name: Min Yoon-gi), rapper and producer, 25\nStarting as an underground rapper as a teen with the stage name of Gloss, Suga got his current moniker from early years spent playing basketball. (It\u2019s an abbreviation for \u201cshooting guard.\u201d) Suga is known for his rapid-fire rhymes. He\u2019s also happy to be vocal about everything from mental health to politics, especially on his 2016 mixtape Agust D. He also is a producer, having contributed to award-winning songs on other artists\u2019 projects as well of many of BTS\u2019s own tracks.\nJ-Hope (real name: Jung Ho-seok), rapper and dancer, 24\nThe third member to be tapped to join BTS after RM and Suga, J-Hope \u2014 stylized as j-hope \u2014 was first known for his dancing; he was part of an underground dance crew in his home province of Gwangju. But since becoming a part of the boy band, J-Hope expanded his skill set to include rapping and songwriting, with credits across the BTS discography. He also released his own mixtape in March, Hope World, which charted independently on the Billboard 200 and shared his signature message of optimism and peace. He\u2019s vocal about his love of fashion, too, telling TIME he loves to shop when he visits new cities.\nJimin (real name: Park Ji-min), singer and dancer, 22\nDiscovered by Big Hit Entertainment during high school, Jimin is known for his sharp dance moves first and foremost; when he was younger, he attended an arts school alongside V, where he focused on modern dance. At shows, he performs the solo \u201cSerendipity\u201d\u2014and his moves offstage, from sharing a laugh with Jimmy Fallon to hugging a fan, can potentially go viral. \u201cWhen the fans sing along to the songs, that\u2019s one of my favorite moments,\u201d Jimin told TIME. \u201cWe give energy to our audience members and listeners, but we also draw energy from them.\u201d\nJin (real name: Kim Seok-jin), singer, 25\nAfter stepping out of a limo at the Billboard Music Awards in 2017, a candid snapshot of Jin caught the internet\u2019s attention. The result: he now often goes by the fan-given moniker \u201cWorldwide Handsome.\u201d He was initially scouted on the street in South Korea before ending up in BTS. An amateur foodie, Jin garnered his own audience early on with a popular food vlog, Eat Jin, in which he posted candid videos of himself \u2014 and sometimes his bandmates \u2014 eating home-cooked meals (and sharing their opinions, of course).\nV (real name: Kim Tae-hyung), singer, 22\nV is the R&B crooner of the bunch, known for his smooth vocals that pop on some of the lower-tempo songs from the band. At shows, his standout moment comes when he sings and dances alongside a life-sized puppet of sorts in an emotive, avant-garde duet to his solo song \u201cSingularity.\u201d A songwriter and producer as well, he has also dabbled in acting, and currently has an interest in photography, he told TIME.\nJung Kook (real name: Jeon Jung-kook), singer, 21\nAs the youngest member of the group, Jung Kook fills a special role in K-pop groups called the \u201cMaknae,\u201d referring to his youth \u2014 but in BTS he\u2019s been deemed the \u201cGolden Maknae,\u201d giving him kudos for his onstage chops. He\u2019s also one of the group\u2019s prime vocalists, appearing on the anonymous South Korean singing reality show King of Masked Singer to surprise and delight audiences a few years ago. He likes to share some of his pen and paper illustrations on social media too. And he loves to perform, telling TIME that now in months off when the group aren\u2019t doing shows, he looks forward to returning to the stage.\nHow did BTS rise to fame?\nAfter bringing together the seven young artists, Big Hit Entertainment\u2019s Bang Si-hyuk first debuted BTS to the world in 2013 with their first album 2 Cool 4 Skool and lead single \u201cNo More Dream\u201d to moderate success. They also entered the Japanese market with a Japanese-language version of their single. BTS continued to release albums in Korean and Japanese and to tour Asia over the following years, with a few stops in the U.S. in 2015 for KCON.\nBut it wasn\u2019t until 2016 that they really began to take off internationally, with their Wings EP and, later, the \u201cDNA\u201d music video breaking records. Cracking the Billboard Top Social Artist chart was another major milestone, as they bested social media mainstays Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez for the title; they\u2019ve stayed atop that chart for 95 weeks as of time of publish. They also gained traction in the U.S. market with their BillboardMusic Awards appearance in 2017 and a subsequent publicity tour of talk shows.\nBy 2018, BTS had topped the Billboard album chart twice over with their most recent releases (as well as international charts from Japan to Canada), sold out their monthlong fall North American tour, appeared on shows like Good Morning America and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and spoke in front of the U.N. General Assembly to launch a new youth empowerment initiative.\nSo, where should I start with the music?\nIf you\u2019re new to BTS, their hits are a good place to start: \u201cDNA,\u201d \u201cBlood Sweat & Tears\u201d and \u201cMIC Drop (Remix)\u201d are a powerful introduction to their high-energy hip-hop-meets-EDM style, while others like \u201cGo Go\u201d and \u201cAirplane pt.2\u201d explore their ability to incorporate different sounds into the repertoire. Slower jams like \u201cMagic Shop\u201d and \u201cThe Truth Untold,\u201d meanwhile, are more soulful. For deep cuts, look to the rap mixtapes that RM, Suga and J-Hope have dropped \u2014 each with a distinct flavor.\nIn five years, BTS has released half a dozen Korean and Japanese albums, plus a number of compilation albums, reissues and EPs; their most recent project was the extensive Love Yourself: Answer and their most recent single, \u201cIdol,\u201d even got a remix featuring Nicki Minaj. Answer and their previous album both topped the Billboard 200 chart, a feat mark for the genres on the U.S. charts, while \u201cIdol\u201d and their other singles have also made it to the Hot 100.\nWhat are the BTS fans known for?\nARMY stands for \u201cAdorable Representative M.C. for Youth, but also touches on the unified support of the fan group. ARMY are known for their mobilization to support the group during album, song or video release cycles, in online polls like TIME\u2019s own Influential on the Internet list and at any point during a promotional appearance. When BTS appeared on U.S. talk shows recently, for instance, ARMY tweets helped propel the band to trend worldwide. In fact, BTS were 2017\u2019s most-tweeted-about celebrities.\nSome fans are also often ready to camp out for hours \u2014 and even overnight \u2014 in advance of BTS shows or appearances. And BTS\u2019s North American shows, merchandise, and albums can sell out quickly.\nAs it turns out, BTS fans don\u2019t necessarily need BTS updates to create their own viral Twitter content; in an only-in-our-time moment, a Twitter fan fiction horror story about the band went viral after ARMY flocked to the social-media-driven story.\nHow did BTS become so popular on social media?\nAs RM told TIME, a lot of it was the luck of their timing: they came into their own alongside Twitter and platforms like the livestream service V-Live, which debuted in 2014. \u201cIt was so lucky for us that social media got bigger,\u201d he said. \u201cUploading photos, videos, songs\u2014now everyone does, but I think we started a little earlier, and very naturally.\u201d\nTheir label took a more hands-off approach to their social profiles than is typical in K-pop, which helped them to develop online presences people can bond to. Over the years, they\u2019ve even become a Guinness World Recordholder for most Twitter engagements for a music group. Like many avid fan bases ARMY documents the concerts extensively, but also is quick to turn funny faces or snapshots into memes that get shared around the web.\nHere\u2019s a recent casual selfie posted by Jin, for instance, that racked up nearly a million likes.\nWhen and where are they performing?\nAfter their monthlong sojourn around North America this fall performing at sold-out shows, including a final performance at New York\u2019s Citi Field, BTS is moving on to Europe for the next leg of their world tour. You can snag BTS tickets and prepare to buy BTS merch at their next stops in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Japan, where they have show dates lined up through February, with more dates to come.",

        "raw_content": "Cross-Validation with Confidence\nSpeaker: Jing Lei\nAbstract: Cross-validation is one of the most popular model selection methods in statistics and machine learning. Despite its wide applicability, traditional cross-validation methods tend to select overfitting models, unless the ratio between the training and testing sample sizes is much smaller than conventional choices. We argue that such an overfitting tendency of cross-validation is due to the ignorance of the uncertainty in the testing sample. Starting from this observation, we develop a new, statistically principled inference tool based on cross-validation that takes into account the uncertainty in the testing sample. This new method outputs a small set of highly competitive candidate models containing the best one with guaranteed probability. As a consequence, our method can achieve consistent variable selection in a classical linear regression setting, for which existing cross-validation methods require unconventional split ratios.

        "raw_content": "Newfoundland Burial Tradition\nThis story is an excerpt from an interview with Garfield and Joy Hillier of Campbellton, Newfoundland in September 2000. The \"George\" mentioned here was George Manuel, a long-time resident of Campbellton who was born in Twillingate in 1880. ---K.M. Fowler, Jr.\n\"When someone died, a friend or neighbor would bath the body, then dress the deceased in a white nightgown. People often kept a few spare nightgowns around for dressing the dead.\nCaskets were seldom made in advance, so you had to wait on them. George made most all of the caskets in his wood shop for people who died around town for 30 years or more. Each casket was made to fit the body it would contain and would be widest at the top. George would start by coming to measure the body so he would know how wide, long, and deep to make it. His early caskets were made only from planned pine boards, but later he began covering them in fabric of different colors: purple or gray for older people, and white or blue for children and young people. The fabric was similar to flannel and had a pattern, flowers for example, of the same color.\nIn the mean time, a piece of cloth was tied from under the jaw to over the top of the head of the corpse so that the jaw was held shut until rigor mortis set in. A large-sized old English penny was placed on each eye to hold them closed as well. Hence the saying to describe people who couldn't be trusted, \"He would steal the coppers right off your eyes!\"\nMost houses in Newfoundland had a room called the parlor that was kept closed off most of the time. It was seldom entered except for the christening of a baby or as a place for a body to lay until the funeral. Friends and neighbors would visit the home to view the body and pay their respects, always bringing along some prepared food.\nThe casket was taken to the church just prior to the funeral service by pallbearers carrying it by three handles screwed into each side. Following the church service the casket was taken for a shorter graveside service that usually consisted of a prayer and some hymns.\nAfter the funeral the house was usually sprayed with a deodorizer called 'Jeyes Fluid' to cover the smell. The blinds on the windows of the house were kept closed for several days, and family members usually wore black clothing for up to a year. Men often wore black arm bands.\"",

        "title": "Sultan Knish: So Long Detroit",
        "raw_content": "So Long Detroit\nA century ago it was the lure of work that drew people from rural areas and far away countries to American cities. The big cities had jobs. Unlike rural areas, they had such high concentrations of them that if you moved there, then you might be able move from job to job without having to turn hobo and travel to find work. The big city offered workers to employers and employment to workers.\nThat arrangement worked when cities were places where things were made. A century ago the New York City waterfront was crowded with ships bringing in cargoes. During WW2, it was filled with entire fleets that were being constructed there. Today the river traffic consists of tour boats or pleasure craft, supplemented by the occasional EPA ship hunting for pollution in the river.\nThe waterfront was a hangout for the homeless, the modern hobo who doesn't look for work, in the 80s. It's being transformed into bike lanes and garden spot cafes now. That is the city in miniature. Either it's decrepit or ornamental. It just isn't utilitarian. It's not really good for anything practical anymore. Even assuming that we were going to build some fleets, we wouldn't do it in New York.\nSo the question isn't why did Detroit go bankrupt. The real question is why wouldn't it. Detroit was once known for making things. Now its most famous remaining industry puts together car parts and while it's more than a lot of cities have, it's not nearly enough to subsidize a large population that doesn't work or pay taxes. A population of hobos who never need to look for work.\nThe only real things keeping American cities from going bankrupt are inertia and some fancy cultural footwork.\nThe city has three types of people. Those who work. Those who work for the government. Those who don't work. Those who don't work and those who work for the government are a net loss. They can be used to obtain various funds from the national government, but the funds are never enough to cover their cost.\nSome of those who do work are still a net loss, because they use more services than they pay for, others pay more in taxes than they get or cost, but considering the level of expenses required to maintain a city and the small amounts that trickle back to cities from up the government river, it becomes harder and harder for even the middle class to pay its way.\nTo deal with this dilemma, cities did what so many brands did, they began upselling their lifestyle to attract a younger and wealthier elite that could inject enough money into the system to subsidize all the public housing, public schools and public everything. Some cities succeeded at it, but all they really did was prolong the inevitable. Others failed miserably.\nDetroit's reconstruction plan hinges on somehow attracting a chunk of that crowd. It's just not going to happen. Its bankruptcy and proposed reemergence is a corporate strategy. Shake loose some of the pension weight and figure out a way to rebrand Detroit as a place for social media companies to set up shop. And then solicit more investment to really turn things around.\nAfter the long struggle into and out of bankruptcy, Detroit will still be a failed city that has no future because it has no purpose.\nCities once had functional reasons for existing and those functional reasons convinced people to live there. Today they exist because people live there. It's backward and it fails to account for what will happen when the people decide to leave.\nThe people left Detroit. Not all of them, but much of the productive population packed up and hit the road leaving behind a city of illiterates and the public employees designated to care for them. There were too many public employees, not enough people and very few taxpayers.\nDetroit did what most cities do. It did what the country does, it tried to make ends meet by borrowing money even though it had no prospects for paying the money back. And when that failed, it went to bankruptcy court to try and reinvent Detroit as a brand new city that gullible investors will want to lend money to. There's no stage beyond that because the city isn't viable because it has no purpose.\nThe purpose of a city has become to take care of the people who live there. Living in a city offers the appeal of a larger social safety net. The population that needs the safety net the most also pays the least into it, making the proposition a bad deal.\nThe social safety net is really there to manage the problems caused by a dysfunctional population. These problems run the gamut from riots to teenage pregnancy and they all cost money. Managing them supposedly costs less money than letting them roar on. But either way, the cost is there.\nWe have gone from the city as a model of industrial production to the city as a model of industrial social welfare. The former can pay for the latter, but the latter cannot pay for the former. Urban social welfare began with attempts at remedying the plight of the workers. But there are fewer and fewer workers.\nDetroit couldn't get its streetlights working, but had a large body of social welfare administrating the entire mess. Any reconstruction plan will run up against the same limits. Detroit will still be the city it was, because it is a territory that has lost its purpose. Its only reasons for being are inertia and guilt.\nTwinkies could be turned around by dumping unions and launching a new ad campaign, but cities don't work that. way Even reinvented, Detroit will still be what it was.\nDetroit hasn't been a manufacturing city in a while. It's a welfare city. It's there to provide social services to its wards. That makes it no different than so many other cities. Its only degree of difference lies in the proportions of its productive and non-productive populations.\nDetroit has too much welfare and not enough work. But since that is its purpose and the purpose of every American city now, there's nothing to complain about. The reformers who rebuilt the city as a utopian space of public housing and public services to elevate the slum dwellers won. And places like Detroit are their victory. They fought the slum and the slum won. The slum became the city.\nAny city can become Detroit. All it takes is losing that percent of the population that pays in more than it takes out. Or overspending beyond their ability to cover the losses.\nDetroit is the urban endgame. Its Motown cultural capital wasn't enough to keep it going the way that the cultural capital of New York's literary industries or Los Angeles' moviemaking industries have been. But those too will run out. The publishing world is collapsing and the movie industry is becoming a multinational monstrosity. A few dot coms churning out apps and IPOs while working off Chinese manufactured gadgets will not be enough to save the city.\nThere was a time when GM had 700,000 employees. Facebook has 3,000 employees. Google has 40,000. The 1 percenter twenty-somethings opening campuses with catered Thai food and coolers full of energy drinks are a nice employment appetizer for a city, but with few exceptions, not an industry.\nThe crisis of the city is that it has become a welfare state, not just in fact, but in orientation. The city exists to take care of people who won't take care of themselves. That makes it something between a homeless shelter and a state institution. And to rephrase Groucho Marx, the city may be a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution? Especially one whose chief appeal is to the people dragging it down, not those lifting it up?\nThe city's troubles are America's troubles. A thriving economy can support a welfare state, but a welfare state cannot be an economy. A country or a city needs a purpose that goes beyond providing services for populations that are incapable of doing the least smallest thing for themselves. Without that purpose, it is already a failed state.\nDetroit exists to provide welfare for much of its population and to provide government jobs for the people taking care of them. And like those populations where generations collect welfare checks, shop with food stamps and aspire to no future other than the perpetuation of this way of life, the city that they live in has no future.\nWhat was good for GM may or may not have been good for America, but what's good for Detroit is the destruction of America.\nNo need for drama about Detroit. Technically remigration to Europe is always an option for Americans.",

Therefore any country that maintains the anachronism of the death penalty by that very fact is an uncivilized society.\" - Rubin \"Hurricane\" Carter, who spent almost 20 years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of murder\nThe list of those on death row who have never been assigned a pen pal through DRSP is down to 224!\nMany opponents of the death penalty are people that saw its workings firsthand, like former San Quentin Prison Warden Jeanne Woodford. In her 25 years working at the prison she saw death row swell from 6 to over 700 prisoners. After leaving the California Department of Corrections she became a vocal capital punishment abolitionist. She has said, \"The death penalty serves no one. It doesn't serve the victims. It doesn't serve prevention. It's truly all about retribution.

The information I found on the Church of Brethren's website was clear and it helped me to take that leap and volunteer last year. The whole process was very straightforward. At the time there was a huge influx of people signing up so there weren't enough prisoners to go around. I was kept up to date on the matter and eventually was given the option to reach out to John who was randomly selected by yourselves instead. In the beginning I was a little nervous at the prospect of writing to someone who hadn't requested a pen pal; therefore I had a lot of questions. My mind was put at ease after messaging with Rachel via your Facebook page. Although I was very lucky and had no trouble corresponding with John, I felt confident that if any issues should arise or it didn't work out then someone would be there to help me and eventually assign someone else.

        "raw_content": ">Wolf Worms\n>I\u2019m posting from Gulfport, Mississippi, where I\u2019m visiting my precious Goddaughter, Katherine, and her family. They moved here from Memphis this summer, which is a return to her hometown for Katherine and a new adventure for Hardy and the kids. I can already see the benefits of the small town and closeness to the ocean, bayous, and just beauty of the outdoors. (It\u2019s also a new adventure for Katherine, as she continues nursing school at the University of Southern Mississippi\u2019s Gulfport branch.) The Thameses\u2019 house is only a few blocks from the beach, and the tree-lined streets wind through cute little neighborhoods where kids are safe to ride their bikes and play with their friends \u2018til their folks call them in for supper.\nA brief aside: Hardy teaches at Gulfport High and sponsors the Key Club. He invited me to do a storytelling/writing workshop with his Key Club kids Wednesday afternoon. As their community service, they are going to produce an oral history project about Hurricane Katrina. They\u2019ll be interviewing each other, family members and people out in the community, uncovering and giving voice to important stories.\nIt was fun to do a few writing exercises with these sharp high school seniors, and to listen to them read their three-minute paragraphs aloud. We discussed the writer\u2019s intincts, like remembering, desiring and fearing, and the part they play in the work. Then we went over the basic elements of story, like plot, character, point of view, etc. I think they\u2019ve got some great stories to tell and I can\u2019t wait to read them.\nAll three of Hardy and Katherine\u2019s kids attend the same elementary school. When we went to pick them up yesterday afternoon, Benji and a bunch of his friends had walked to the cute little park next door to the school to play football while waiting for their moms, who all pulled up and got out of their cars to visit with each other while the boys worked off some of their school day energy.\nThose same pre-adolescent boys had been decked out in football pads and jerseys the night before for their 5th and 6th grade jamboree. Benji is Number 84.\nHardy\u2019s mom and stepdad came over from Ocean Springs for the game, and Katherine reconnected with old friends from her childhood as we watched from the stands.\nAs the sun began to set and the stadium lights came on, I couldn\u2019t help but enjoy the Gulf Coast\u2019s very own \u201cWednesday Night Lights.\u201d Later at a nearby Mexican restaurant, more childhood friends approached our table to speak to Katherine, as did Simon\u2019s teacher\u2019s aid. (He\u2019s in kindergarden.) If it takes a village, they\u2019ve got one here, and I like the way it looks and feels. (For more photos, check out my photo album, \u201cGulfport and Visit with Thameses\u201d on Facebook.)\nMary has a new kitten, \u201cSnickers,\u201d that the Thameses are fostering and plan to adopt from the Human Society. She is so tiny and precious, but we had to take her to the vet yesterday because she had a sore behind her right ear that seemed to be getting worse. Turns out it\u2019s a parasite called a \u201cWolf Worm.\u201d\nThey kept her overnight to give her a little anesthesia while they removed it, because Wolf Worms have little spikes and pulling them out feels kinda like pulling a fish hook out. Hopefully she\u2019s coming home today, with a coarse of antibiotics working on the germs left behind.\nThe Wolf Worm and its spikes got me to thinking about the spiritual and emotional parasites that dig into our hearts and minds. Like acedia. I haven\u2019t read much more in the book (see beginning of review in an earlier post, here) but even the next few pages offer a lot to think about.\nIn Chapter IV, \u201cPsyche, Soul and Muse,\u201d Norris explores Aldous Huxley\u2019s \u201cAccidie,\u201d in which he \u201ctraces, in a brisk tour de force, \u2018the progress of acedia\u2019 through the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Considered a demon or a vice by early Christian monks, acedia in the Renaissance was thought of as a physical ailment\u2026. By the early eighteenth century, \u2018accidie was still, if not a sin, at least a disease.\u2019 But, Huxley adds, \u2018a change was at hand.\u2019 What the poet Matthew Green termed \u2018the sin of worldly sorrow in 1837 was becoming \u2018a literary virtue, a spiritual mode\u2026. Then came the nineteenth-century and romanticism; and with them the triumph of the meridian demon. Accidie in its most complicated and deadly form, a mixture of boredom, sorrow, and despair, was now an inspiration to the greatest poets and novelists, and it has remained so to this day.\u2019\u201d\nI found this to be a bit contradictory to Norris\u2019 words in the previous chapter, about acedia\u2019s negative effect on the writer:\n\u201cAcedia is a danger to anyone\u2019s whose work requires great concentration and discipline yet is considered by many to be of little practical value. The world does not care if I write another word, and if I am to care, I have to summon all my interior motivation and strength. But the demon of acedia is adept at striking when those resources are at a low ebb\u2026. Acedia\u2019s genius is to seize us precisely where our hope lies, to tear away at the heart of who we are, and mock that which sustains us.\u201d\nI have been in a war with inner voices who are mocking my work as a writer for some time now. Those negative voices have been boring their way into my subconscious just like a Wolf Worm, sending their spikes in deeper and deeper. As I continue to draft new chapters of my third effort at writing a book, I find myself bored with my own stories, and wondering why on earth anyone else would want to read them. Writing group buddies are a big help here, as they read and critique my work in progress and encourage me that I do have something worth saying and that I\u2019m improving in my efforts to craft the words. But I can\u2019t help but wonder if I\u2019m going to have to endure painful \u201csurgery\u201d to remove the Wolf Worm\u2019s spikes. Unlike the tiny little kitten, \u201cSnickers,\u201d I can\u2019t be anesthetized for the procedure. It\u2019s probably going to hurt. Maybe it will involve giving up some things I \u201cwant\u201d in order to stay the course and get the book written. Maybe it will involve facing some painful things in my past without always turning to my favorite comforters\u2014food, alcohol, busy-ness. Maybe I\u2019m going to begin to learn to be still and just endure the natural human emotions that we are often so quick to try to fix: sadness, boredom, regret, anxiety.\nAs I continue reading Norris\u2019 book, I\u2019m adding a different story to the mix. I\u2019m about a hundred pages in to Augusten Burroughs\u2019 memoir, Dry, which chronicles his struggle with alcohol. When he checks into rehab because of the threat of losing his job in advertising, Burroughs comes face to face with his demons, and with something people without addictive struggles might find strange\u2014his fear of sobriety:\n\u201cSober. So that\u2019s what I\u2019m here to become. And suddenly, this word fills me with a brand of sadness I haven\u2019t felt since childhood. The kind of sadness you feel at the end of summer. When the fireflies are gone, the ponds have dried up and the plans are wilted, weary from being so green. It\u2019s no longer really summer but the air is still too warm and heavy to be fall. It\u2019s the season between the seasons. It\u2019s the feeling of something dying.\u201d\nThat\u2019s exactly how I feel today. Not just because it\u2019s the week after Labor Day on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and the kids are playing football but it\u2019s still hot and muggy. But also because I can identify with Burroughs\u2019 words about it being the \u201cseason between the seasons\u201d and the \u201cfeeling of something dying.\u201d I remember having this same feeling about fifteen years ago when I let go of a demon I was fighting and turned to God for help. I was sitting on a pew at church talking with my Father Confessor and telling him that I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff and I was supposed to jump across a great chasm to the other side, leaving behind the harmful but comfortable world of my demon, and trying to trust that something on the other side would feel as good as this demon had made me feel. He held my hand and helped me make the leap, which was, of course, only the first step. But sometimes the first step is the hardest. Especially when dealing with something as insidious as a Wolf Worm.\nThanks so much to everyone who commented on my last post about Acedia. I hope to hear from you again and from others who are kind and supportive enough to keep reading. Please leave a comment, whether or not you\u2019ve read either of these books. It was one of your comments several weeks ago that sent me to the bookstore to purchase Norris\u2019 book. It\u2019s such a blessing to have fellow pilgrims on this journey.\nI probably won\u2019t post again from the coast, as our weekend will be full of activities, like maybe the \u201cSecond Saturday\u201d art walk in Bay St. Louis tomorrow, or the annual Biloxi Seafood Festival. The kids are going to a fishing rodeo in the morning with their grandparents, and the rest of the day is up for grabs. Every minute is a joy with the Thames family\u2026 like last night, when Hardy was playing his ukelele and all three kids got up and started dancing on the furniture and singing every word of \u201cEye of the Tiger.\u201d Yep.\nSo\u2026 I\u2019ll hit the road for Memphis on Sunday, stopping in Jackson to visit Mom at her nursing home. Have a great weekend, everyone!",

        "title": "Compromise Reached on NW35; New Grad Dorm to Go Forward - The Tech",
        "raw_content": "Compromise Reached on NW35; New Grad Dorm to Go Forward\nBy Rosa Cao\nAfter a series of last-minute compromises, the majority of students on the NW35 planning committees reached agreement by the March 31 deadline with administrators on basic physical space allocations as well as potential rent structures for the new graduate dormitory. The building is now expected to go forward on schedule.\nA March 31 GSC recommendation summarized the agreements and endorsed the project.\nAs part of the agreement on allocation of common space, the number of beds in the building would be reduced from 520 to 502 to make up for the increase in common space to 13,200 feet. The Thirsty Ear, a student-run pub currently located in the basement of Ashdown House, will relocate to the new building as well.\nAdministrators at the March 29 space planning subcommittee meeting agreed to include 150 beds (about 27 percent of the total number of beds) in three-bedroom units without a kitchen or living room, a retreat from their earlier position that such amenities are a non-negotiable requirement for quality housing capable of addressing future demand.\nGSC President Sylvain Bruni wrote in an e-mail to GSC representatives that Associate Dean and Director of Housing Karen Nilsson suggested at the space subcommittee meeting that such rooms could in fact be filled, based on the current demand for Ashdown singles.\nAlthough Housing has not made any concrete commitments on rents, Bruni reported that Benedict reaffirmed at a private meeting March 24 that the Institute will provide a subsidy, at least in the short term, to maintain rents at levels between those of Edgerton and Sidney-Pacific Graduate Residences. However, President Susan Hockfield and Executive Vice President Sherwin Greenblatt reiterated that there will be no long-term subsidy for graduate housing.\nBruni pledged that the GSC would negotiate for rents in the rooms without amenities to be substantially less than (about two-thirds of) those in the efficiencies, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with living rooms and kitchens, whose rents would be more comparable to those of similarly configured units in Sidney-Pacific.\nAt a stakeholders group meeting on March 30, Greenblatt and Chancellor Phillip L. Clay said that the new target break-even date (when rents will fully cover yearly mortgage payments and operating costs) for the new building will be pushed forward to 2020. Until then there will be an annual deficit in operating costs (estimated to be about $1.5 million the first year and $12 million over 12 years), which Greenblatt and Clay have said will not be funded from an increase in system rents, nor an increase to the student life fee. It is still unclear what the source of the funding will be.\nAlthough student members of the stakeholders committee and space subcommittee were not able to reach a unanimous consensus, the majority supported going forward with the revised project. Ashdown GSC representative Harish Mukundan, Ashdown House Executive Committee chair Suddhasattwa Sinha, and many Ashdown residents remained opposed.\nDespite lingering dissatisfaction with the hasty process and time limitations placed on soliciting student input, most participants seem to be optimistic about the resulting building, including some Ashdown residents heavily involved with the process.\nIn an e-mail to the Ashdown community, Housemaster Terry P. Orlando wrote, \u201cI personally feel that the compromise was reasonable, workable, and represented a considerable concession from the administration.\u201d Still under negotiation is the possibility of a dining hall, as well as the number and size of common kitchens, Orlando wrote.\nThe subcommittees on community and programming will continue their work over the next year.\nhttp://web.mit.edu/dsl/NW35\nhttp://web.mit.edu/gsc/www/meetings/legislation\nhttp://www.ashdownhouse.org",

        "raw_content": "Last week we started learning about what happens when oscillations lose energy and slow to a stop. We call this damping. This week we\u2019ll focuses specifically on the mechanical energy in these damped oscillations.\nIt\u2019s probably obvious, but in oscillating systems we\u2019re dealing with mechanical energy. In the real world, this mechanical energy will gradually melt away. If someone or something doesn\u2019t replenish the mechanical energy in the oscillating system, the oscillation will eventually stop. In short, the damping force is nonconservative.\nHow fast does the mechanical energy dissipate? We can derive an equation for the rate of change of energy from the total mechanical energy equation:\nWe can find the rate of change of anything by taking the derivative. In this case, to find the rate of change over time, we\u2019ll take the derivative of the mechanical energy equation with respect to time. It looks like this:\nThe dv/dt and dx/dt indicate derivatives v with respect to t and x with respect to t. Respectively. Notice, too, that dv/dt and dx/dt are equal to some other things we\u2019ve looked at recently: acceleration and velocity. We can use this knowledge to make our equation look less scary and fraction-y:\nThat\u2019s already looking much more manageable. But we\u2019re not done. Remember Newton\u2019s second law of motion for damped oscillating systems? It\u2019s -kx \u2013 bv = ma. We can make some more substitutions to get the final equation:\nThis equation is the rate of change of mechanical energy in damped oscillating systems!\nThat\u2019s great and all, but what does it mean? The right side of the equation will be negative if the body is oscillating, regardless of whether it\u2019s velocity is positive or negative. This indicates that the system is losing energy. The product -bv^2 is the damping power; the rate at which force does negative work.\nThat\u2019s it for now. There are only two more posts about oscillation in the works. Don\u2019t miss it!\nFeatured image credit: Shannon Kokoska\nTags:damped oscillations,mechanical energy,oscillation\nReality Checks: Skype Exorcisms and Turning Lead into Gold\nMedication: Remember to Ask Questions",

The \u2018Cuppa and a Chat\u2019 event we held highlighted that many people have questions they\u2019ve wanted to ask about what happens when a loved one dies and what plans we could all be putting in place for our own death.\nOne lady who popped in found the session so useful, that she asked to come back with some friends for a further discussion. We enjoyed meeting them all recently over a cup of tea and feel it was a positive session.\nWhile we didn\u2019t want the chat to be a \u2018sales pitch\u2019 for pre-paid funeral plans, a number of the folk who came in wanted to know more about them, as they felt very strongly that they didn\u2019t want their families to be burdened with paying for their funeral. A funeral plan gives somebody peace of mind that everything has been put in place and paid for.\nOthers were interested to learn that the plans aren\u2019t just about paying in advance \u2013 but give people the opportunity to plan their own funerals a little. This could simply be making it clear that they would prefer to be buried than cremated or that they wanted donations raised at the service to be given to a charity close to their hearts. Others already had ideas about music they\u2019d like included in their services.\nWe would be delighted to welcome people into our office for a chat \u2013 either alone or with close family members or with a little group of friends. We would also be happy to give talks at any local groups or organisations about funerals, death, dying and bereavement.\nGive us a call on tel: 01892 611811 or drop into our office to find out more.",

        "raw_content": "The Butler-Bowdon Chasuble, 1398 \u2013 1420\nBefore Henry VIII, England was known as one of the most devoutly Catholic countries of the world where the people's devotion to the Holy Mass, to Our Lady and the Saints, and to the Church was legendary. One spin-off from this culture was a standard of vestment making admired throughout the world.\nYesterday I had intended to visit the British Library at St Pancras, but a friend at the Keys convinced me to take the Piccadilly line in the other direction to one of my favourite places, and view an exhibition which is on at the Victoria and Albert Museum until 5 February 2017: Opus Anglicanum: Masterpieces of English Medieval Embroidery.\nOver 100 pieces are gathered for the exhibition, most of them ecclesiastical vestments. The earliest are from the early 12th century, but the period of greatest popularity represented is the first half of the 14th century. Thus the growth of world-renowned expertise and enthusiasm for fine liturgical decoration coincided with the flowering of scholastic culture at, for example, places like Oxford and Cambridge. The overturning of that culture at the English reformation coincided with the physical destruction of the beautiful work that grew alongside it. The exhibition has one or two pitiful examples of work that was preserved by virtue of being disguised for secular use.\nThe splendid collection includes a rare High Mass set and some interesting chasubles like the Butler-Bowden chasuble above. From a modern bias towards a binary distinction between Roman and Gothic chasubles, they might seem hybrid, but I suppose they were simply a stage in the developing shape.\nIt is great that the V&A has put on another exhibition which draws on Catholic culture in England, and that it seems to be attracting a healthy number of visitors. As a result of following the course carefully, I now know what underside couching is.\nImage credit: Victoria & Albert Museum website",

        "raw_content": "Y'see, that proposal that I made to the center director for SuperComputing 05 was accepted. This has caused me no end of grief. It's teh reason that I have not been writing in my blog lately. Why would that cause this? Well, I have to have a solid proposal and full conference paper ready by a week from tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. Getting the proposal down in one thing. The fact that my boss' boss added that he wanted me to participate in all of the challenges with this proposal was a whole different ball game! I was planning on putting up something for the StorCloud Challenge. He felt that the proposal only needed a small tweak to make it an excellent candidate for the Trifecta Award for a demonstration that would participate in all three SC05 challenges: StorCloud, Bandwidth, and the Analytics Challenges.\nOh Fraq!!!\nI've started the paper. I have found some collaborators. One to help with the paper. One to help with the networking. Another to help with the actual simulation. I'm trying to rope in the one of the analysis types as well. To with the triple crown award, you don't have to win each of the individual awards. You just have to participate and do something very interesting. I'm doing that. Something very interesting. Real science on the floor of SC05.\nThe stress level is absolutely insane. The deadlines are worse. This might even be impossible.\n...Shall....\n...See!\nMore on Cosmos 1 (launch date tomorrow!)\nOkie! I was more than a little busy yesterday. I was working on finishing the cluster file system paper (it's ready for it's first reaming,a hem, review except for the section on the unique capabilities of the file systems. Oh, I better say what its on better than this? I did a comparison of cluster file systems that can share teh same disks between Linux machines and AIX machines. This boiled down to IBM's GPFS 2.3, ADIC's SNFS 2.5, and IBM's SFS 2.2 (aka StorageTank). There was a lot of comparison between the three. However, the one section that remains to be written is the unique capabilities section. The problem is that SFS has a lot of things different than normal for a file system. In fact, this thing when its mature is gonna just plain rock. However, maturity is a couple more years from now at least. This is my second paper. The first one was my 'trials and tribulations' paper on getting GPFS 2.2 to share a single instance of storage (aka disks) between Linux and AIX boxes.\nThat was half of the day. The latter half. The earlier half was spent entertaining my daughter in the dentist's office. Why? Because my wife had Yet Another Dentist Appointment. If I ever meet a Ukrainian dentist, they better have plate mail and kelvar on. The work they did for my wife when she was young is plain old fashion shit. No worse than that. Now we're paying for it. The end is in sight though. Hopefully by the end of the month we'll have done all the work that's gotta get done short of whitening. All I can say is that I am delighted that we have dental insurance. This wouldn't have been possible at all if we didn't. There's been damned serious work done in there. The cost has already been staggering without insurance...*horrified look*\nI also started an email exchange with an architect. The intent is to find out if there's someone willing to work on the design with me for the house. I know at times I can be a PITA. For a house, I betcha I'd be a royal PITA. That's a crap load of dinero. I don't want to see it get flushed down the toilet...or creek as it may be. I dragged out all of my architecture books last night and plopped them down in front of my wife. I told her that I really wanted her input on the house and that she needed to do a bit of crawling through the styles and such to pick out details she likes (or doesn't). She agreed. She's always told me that she loves what I come up with her input, but I really don't want to have her unhappy that she didn't get any input at all for the house after we live there.\nAlso at work, I proposed that NERSC (where I work) do an application for StorCloud @ SC05 rather than just set up the file systems for other groups. I want to do soem real science on the floor of SC05 using a centralized file system. The work would require different machines: one for preprocessing, another for the simulation, another for postprocessing and finally for visualization and analytics. All done on the floor of SC05. I proposed four different groups that I could work with. The one I am really hoping for is the climate folks. I proposed it a little while back and got backing from my boss for it. His boss and the top dog of SC05 hasn't voted up nor down on it yet. :S\nGonna be busy tomorrow\nSo I am going to put up some baby pictures. Enjoy!\n[Home Architecture]: Wow that was quick\nI got the response back from the planning director. We have an appointment come Monday at 2 pm.\n[Home Architecture]: So it begins...\nI made contact with the building department in that town I'm looking at in Marin County. They gave me a call back this morning. They're going to make an appointment with the director of planning and the bulding dept so that we can go over all that needs to be done (if anything can at all). The man I talked to stated that it is very possible to build in their town, there just needs to be some patience.\nI've also started to proactively reach out to the people that might be opposed to us building on that property we climbed around on. I have a feeling that if I can get these folks to sign on, this would go rather smoothly. I have to be diplomatic and creative here. I have to get them to want this as much as I do or at least not want to object because of the carrots and morsels that could come of this. This biggest challenge would come from the people trying to protect or improve the watershed. Actually, I'd like to work with them to improve the watershed at the same time as building.\nWe'll see what comes of this. I hope it works out. If this does, it'll move up our time table for a home considerably.\nSingularity Sky review postponed\nThis will have to wait a couple days. Too many things happening right now.\nBehind the Green Door: Return of the Mosasaurs?\nAfter thinking about the book I read a few back (Sea Dragons), I started pondering the mosasaurs. They were speciating quite prolificly in the 25 million years prior to the KT Event. They seem to have been something of a success story in their adapting to the sea. They're also rather interesting and look like a crocodile, monitor lizard, and eel had waaaay too much to drink one night doing some rather unnatural things. Mosasaurs are supposed to be relatively close relatives to to the varanids (monitor lizards). We definitely have a number of species there alive and well.\nJames Nicoll created for SHWI a thread called 'Behind the Green Door' where the US found a wormhole that opened up to the far, far future (250 million years) where humanity had died out. Life has undergone some rather radical changes. There are intelligent, land living octopi. There are others that are equally strange. Birds have all but gone extinct: the sea going ratites are all that are left. It sounds like whales and such are long gone too.\nIt occurred to me that 'what-if' the mosasaurs reemerged? The varanids (or their descendants) are prolly still around. They're an amazingly versatile bunch. There is an inland sea in the map of future earth that James was using. It's equitorial and would prolly be rather warm. If the sea going ratites evolved in Australia, it means that they are 'restricted' to the World Ocean (was Pacific) rather than the Inland Ocean (was Atlantic). The varanids live in a lot of the places that are going to be along that second ocean...\nAlternately, if by some blessed chance that the Marine Iguana survives humanity and the passing of the whales, etc, then they have a chance to be a major seagoing critter too. That'd be...interesting.\nAs seen from the NASA Mars Rover Spirit:\nThe Most Earthlike Extrasolar Planet Yet\n8 Earth masses around a red dwarf. Too close for life, but we're getting better at detecting the planets now.\nI miss working in astronomy (as a student @LANL). :S\nWe had a pretty fun weekend. At least I thought so. Besides to runs to go shoppping for groceries, we went and looked at a property to build on. There is one that is relatively inexpensive and still a large piece of land close enough that I can commute to and from work. It's about 45 minutes away during the good times and about an half and change during the bad. It's also .4 acres. The problem is that to build there, we'd have to get a variance with the city its in since most of it is creek bed. My wife and I have been discussing what we could do for mitigation for the construction. We've got a few good ideas that I just discussed this morning with someone at work that's done a good deal of construction work: he thinks they're very good ones that ought to be excellent for convincing the city in question. With that encouragement, we're going to do all the research we can prior to buying the property.\nIf you didn't notice on SHWI, I love architecture. I have become enthralled with variants of Byzantine architecture. I love the churches of Thessalonica and Mystra. I even have rolled a few threads on alternate archiectures. One of which was to seek out ideas of a house waaay back. The architecture thread that I am most proud of comes from my Morean Empire TL. There I wrote about the Senate of Trebizond and its architectual design while hinting at politics and history up through the Age of Tourism.\nFor the house, if we get to build it, I am going to take my base of extrapolation to be Byzantine architecture. I'd like to steal a thing or two from the architecture that comes from the Great Camps of the Adirondacks in New York. I especially like Camp Topridge (and here) and its style of everything having grown from into place. However, I am equally salivating over Art Nouveau for the interior designs. There are bits and pieces from other eras and places, but the biggest contributor that I can think of I'd love to incorporate (or mutate and then incorporate) would be the hallway and entrance from Bag End in the movie version of _The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring_. IDK how much we'll be able to incorporate in this first house. We shall see though.\nI'll be sure to post pictures when the time comes. If it does.\nWhere I work now and then\nI'm kinda amazed that Google has this first one up, but...\nHELSTF (High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility) @ White Sands Missile Range and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.\nESA Supports Russia's Kliper\nESA's director of human spaceflight has been quoted as saying that ESA will support the development of Russia's proposed Kliper spacecraft. It's a follow-on to Russia's very old, but reliable Soyuz design. The Kliper is something of an answer to NASA's CEV (Lockmart's version is here) . However, there's a note that the Russians via ITAR-TASS are saying this and not the European media. There's been false starts from there before. However, I ahve to wonder how much of this is to ensure an independant access to space from NASA or China.\nSpace Race? HOOOOYAH!\nLANL Whistleblower's Beating Revisited\nIt seems that the plot thickens.\nThat seems a bit more plausible than what I had thought was happening. Seems everyone was found and the cops have turned the whole thing over to the DA. Hitting a pedestrian outside a strip bar is not such a wise thing to do.\nRussia and NATO...again\nThe Russians are oozing paranoia again while showing the world exactly how toothless they are. Frex. There are some good reasons not to like NATO, but its not eactly built around the idea of launching offensive operations against the Soviet Union, ahem, Russia.\nThe reason that Georgia and Ukraine would like to become members is to avoid being swallowed by a resurgent, or at least revanchist, Russia. Under the umbrella of NATO protection that is not possible. If you read at least Ukraine's history, I think you can understand the sentiment. I wish I had even a basic knowledge of Georgian history to make any comments from that POV: its on the list, but down there a ways.\nI my ideal world, Russia would be getting ready to make their own leap into NATO and the EU. They'd have another decade and change to get there, but I'd think they'd really want to do this. Their falling population, weak borders, decaying military, and having an aggressive and growing future superpower on its southeastern border makes it seem to me that finding permanent friends in the form of NATO and EU membership an obvious and even best possible choice.\nHowever, the Russians don't think like that. At least those in power. There's this damned Great Russian mentality that haunts and infects almost all their decisions. Russia has been one of the great nations in terms of power for a very long time (mostly true, at least since the beginning of the modern era, but only true now because of their decaying nuclear arsenal) and will be for the far, far future (prolly false). The chauvanism that runs through this mentality can be seen through their attitudes to Ukrainians, frex, in that they see it as there are no Ukrainians, only malorus - Little Russians. Through this, they have alienated even the Left Bank Ukrainians who are russophonic.\nThe Great Russians seem to believe that they can continue and stand as a separate pillar of power in the future. They have convinced themselves that Russia can have all the influence that the old Soviet Union had or at least that of what Czarist Russia had. If you look at the growth rates, I don't think its going to be possible. Brazil is in the process of overtaking Russia as an economic power. The EU, PRC, USA, and Republic of India are all leaping ahead like economic juggernauts with ten league boots. Sadly, the rate Russia is growing and her true economic and military strength will put her in a position to be at best playing a Canada or Finland tune to either the EU or the PRC.\nThey say pride goeth before the fall. This pride seems to be lasting even through the first fall. That might have been the disentegration of the Soviet Union was the smaller of the two falls. We'll see if the coming one will be as bad. It might be. It might be worse. Their - the Great Russian - irrelevancy to the rest of the world might be interesting to see as time and again they're ignored for the EU, American, Indian, or Chinese opinions. Hopefully it won't spawn anything ugly.\nFinished _Singularity Sky_\nI was planning on reviewing the book during lunch here, but I accidently left the book at home. There are some things I wanted to quote rather than simply recite from memory so that I could get them right. I have been known to misremember things at times and I didn't want to do that here.\nI can say that I rather enjoyed the book. It did something that I've been wanting for some time. The future felt like The FUTURE rather than a tacked on bit of tech in the present day. He captured that sense. It was great. Well done, Charlie.\nThere are some things I rather didn't like. That's fine for when it comes to the meaning of $TECH or some such. However, there are some problems with the way the story was told that I didn't care for. When I get the book at home, if I have time this weekend, I'll write my review with quotes so I can keep everything straight.\nI am now thinking whether or not I will read The Pentagon's New Map, AI for Game Developers, or Centauri Dreams next. I do need to put up a post on my thoughts on Gregory Benford's Tides of Light and the rest of the Galactic Center series.\nI have to think up what I am going to purchase next month for books. I am almost out of books to read and the month is only a third done. I've been reading at a faster pace again and this will prolly consume the remaining three books by month's end. I have to remember its my wife's birthday though next month, so we might have to do that first...\nFrance and the EU Constitution: A Finnish Perspective\nJussi Jalonen has been an interesting man to discuss history and interact with over the years online. In a discussion on alt.history.future, he made me laugh with his irritation with France over their no vote for the EU Constitution:\nAgain, I have to wonder why the hell this Union really needs to have France as a member. Personally, I think that the EU should organize a swap with the U.S.; basically, Brussels would voluntarily transfer France under the federal authority of Washington, and in return, the EU would get one or two U.S. states to work with. Preferably some that would be easier to handle than the present-day France, and would have a more intelligent population - Mississippi or Florida would do nicely, for example.\nIt seems that I am actually listed as part of the StorCloud Initiative comittee for SC05!\nChina has a diplomatic mishap in Oz\nThe attempted defection of one of China's diplomats in Australia has sparked off a media frenzy and Beijing is preparing for further embarrassing 'revelations' about its intelligence activities. Chen Yonglin, until recently a consular official at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, decided to go public with a claim that Beijing has \"up to 1,000 spies\" operating in Australia and has used its network of agents to \"kidnap\" Chinese dissidents in the country with the aim of returning them to China.\nStolen from Jane's (here).\nOh my. 1000 spionen, eh?\nKeeping with Tradition: Baby and a Dinosaur\nA little late...doh.\nDuct Tape, Please?\nThere are some people in politics, often in very important positions, that really, truly do more damage than good. How? Their mouths. They simply spit out extremely stupid comments that actually do more damage to their cause than help. Unfortunately, right now in US politics, it seems that both sides are spewing self-detrimental nonsense.\nIn the Bush administration, Donald Rumsfeld is someone that the liberal application of duct tape would immensely help the US in foreign policy. His idiotic comments that piss off Europe right and left, frex, did more to damage to US making its case of going in and rooting out Saddam than anything else that was done. He kept pissing me off during the run up to the war and since with his idiotic comments. This isn't news really anymore. Gin Rummy fracking idiot.\nRight now, Howard Dean is doing the same thing again and again for the Democratic Party. He's decided that he is the one to energize the Democrats into being able to retake the White House and Congress. Unfortunately, he's off pissing off a good portion of this country by smacking Republicans claiming their a monolithic and inflexible party. In some ways true - the conservative, Christian wing has a stranglehold (for now) on some portions of the agenda - but if you're going to recapture the White House you have to court the moderates of the GOP. However, Dean's effectively threatening to do the same stranglehold on his own party but with the very liberal wing rather than the conservative christians.\nDean's motormouth even has other Democrats running for cover.\nThank all taht's good and light in the world that he blew his chance at getting into the White House. Even so, could someone pass the duct tape, please? I don't want another *Bush in the head office.\nLANL Whistleblower Beaten\nLos Alamos National Lab was somewhere I enjoyed working at. I worked there my senior year of high school and loved it. I lived in Los Alamos for 8 years (+/-). My father still works there and old friends still work there. I work at a sister lab for Los Alamos (Berkeley). I support UC and think that UC should keep the contract for LANL:the environment there is far, far better than the Labs run by blodd sucking defense contractors. That said...\nThe beating of the whistleblower has made me sick. WTF were the people thinking that did it? Tommy Hooks, whatever I may think of his whole situation prior to this, would not stop talking short of his death. So trying to beat him up - badly - just prior to his congressional testamony is amazingly stupid. If anything that lends more credance that he was onto something...\nThe thing is that some of this incident just doesn't make too much sense. There's a blog of LANL employees and there are some interesting and shocking accusations being tossed around. One of the most interesting is that Tommy Hooks' wife was out of town while he was at the stripper bar where he was consequently beaten.\nAdditionally, POGO has a pretty bad rep at LANL and that's Tommy's biggest backers in a lot of this ... mess.\nIDK what to think. The beating of a whistleblower is not the Los Alamos I know and love. It's not the one I went back and visited. Even if I think that he's more full of hot air than not (the Mustang was attempted to be bought on a stolen credit card # and the total amount of dinero missing dropped to less than .01%, iirc), I sure as hell hope that they catch the SOBs that did this...whatever the real scenario that lead up to the beating might have been.\nSorry this is so late in the day. Denistry is an evil and time consuming hobby it seems. Esp if you're correcting Ukrainian dentists work. grr.\nSea Dragons: Predators Of The Prehistoric Oceans\nI just finished this book. It was a pretty good read. I think it needed another run through by an editor. Not because it was a horrible bit of writing that was still wet between the bricks, but for the effect of tightening up bits. Some parts of the book were repetitive. Other parts were just a tad too obscure for the average reader (I'm lucky, I grew up with a palaeoanthropologist for an Aunt and she encouraged by passion for dinosaurs and paleontology big time). Is it worth the $14 I paid? Yup. Definitely. A good addition fot eh library that my kid(s) will enjoy later in life.\nThe book itself is divided in six sections. The first is the introduction and discusses the first finds of the extinct marine reptiles. He then delves each of the unique marine reptiles by order of evolution. Ichthyosaurs are the first up. These fish lizards are rather interesting. Equally so that they went extinct long before the KT Event. Next are the plesiosaurs. The long necked carnivores are still causing controversy on how they swam and what niche they filled. Then the pliosaurs (or short necked plesiosaurs) come up. These ones seem to be aggresive pursuit predators. Finally comes the mosasaurs. The mosasaurs are interesting because they seem to be close relatives of the varanids (modern monitor lizards including the Komodo Dragon) and they evolved late in the Cretaceous appearing only 25 million years before the KT Event. They are one of the most convincing arguments for a sharp event ending the reign of the archosaurs since they were speciating and emphatetically not in decline when they suddenly disappear. The final section is conclusion of how they all went extinct. The author is not totally convinced that the Chicxulub Impact was the killer. He doesn't fofer his own suggestions thougha s to what did kill the archosaurs and friends off.\nWhat's missing from the book were the other great water reptiles of the age. Some of the crocodilians were HUGE and at least some were sea creatures. Additionally he completely neglects the giant sea turtles (frex Archelon) Also it would have been nice at the end of a book that he could have listed the various specimens or species that have been described with some sort of blurb about the critter that makes it unique.\nAt any rate, enjoy the book. Next up, Charlie Stross' Singularity Sky.\nGotta Love This One Cuz Its So True\nRussia warns against space based weapons\nRussia has warned - again - that putting weapons in space will piss them off. The Bush administration is considering formally approving and allowing space based weapons. There has been an informal ban on them for some time. The Clinton administration was especially concerned about the weaponization of space and canned a number of programs. There are no treaties at all that ban nonuclear space based weapons. This was a pretty bad misconception about space based weapons: a lot of people thought that the ABM Treaty between the US & USSR banned such things.\nIt merely stated \"Thou Shalt Not Put Weapons In Space That Shoot Down Incoming Ballistic Missiles. \"\nThe US withdrew from the ABM Treaty under the Shrub on June 13, 2002. China and Russia promptly proposed a new treaty banning space based weapons. France, Canada, and the UK have come out against space based weapons as well. The UN seems to be pushing for the same thing.\nThe Russians are in a peculiar situation. They would have been the ones working to compete directly with the US back in the Soviet Unions Great Times. Now, they can't. They've been shaved of a lot of their ability to do so. I think they realize that and are now resorting to their other cards. As few as they are. One of them is a nontrivial card, but whether or not its a good enough one for this (or a successor administration) remains to be seen. That card is...\nTaking aim at the United States, Russia's defense minister Thursday threatened retaliatory steps if any country puts weapons in space and said Moscow won't negotiate controls over tactical nuclear arms with nations that deploy them abroad, Russian media reported.\nIvanov's comment about negotiating controls over tactical nuclear weapons was also a clear reference to the United States, which has such arms in Europe.\n\"We are prepared to start talks about tactical nuclear weapons only when all countries possessing them keep these weapons on their own territory,\" Interfax and ITAR-Tass quoted Ivanov as saying. \"Russia stores its tactical nuclear weapons on its own territory, which cannot be said about other countries.\"\nThe news agencies said Ivanov was responding to calls by former Sen. Sam Nunn for a Russian-American agreement providing for accountability of each other's tactical nuclear stockpiles, which have not been addressed by a series of treaties reducing strategic nuclear arms.\nNunn, an architect of a major program to secure and destroy nuclear weapons and materials in the former Soviet Union, has called for \"transparent accountability\" of tactical weapons as a safeguard against nuclear terrorism.\nRussia wants to keep its tactical nuclear weapons \u2014 and to keep their number secret \u2014 to compensate for inferiority in conventional weapons, said Alexander Pikayev, a nuclear expert with the Committee of Scientists for Global Security.\nThe Bush administration has not publicly called for an agreement on accountability and control over tactical nuclear weapons, which do not threaten U.S. territory, Pikayev said.\nExcerpted from here.\nSuch is their card. It's a nontrivial one, but...it may not matter to this (or following) administrations. I am unsure how I feel about that card. Nukes are scary things indeed, buta t the same time, the Russians can't have a billion and one of them laying around in ecellent condition. They're not in a position to maintain them effectively either. On top of that, the Russians are not the only ones that we ought to making this sort of treaty with. The Chinese and others ought to be included. The Russians are not one of the top dogs anymore. They haven't been for a decade and change. Their might, such as it is, happens to be largely leftovers and those are quickly rotting.\nWe'll see what the diplomatic dance does. It should be interesting.\nAttack of the Killer Cherub\nIt seems that life has decided that things have been too boring and uninteresting for us for too long. We had a nice trip and we've been happy especially since Avrora's birth[1]. The universe felt this was an unnatural condition for us. Or at least me.\nOn May 28th, 2005, while we were in Las Vegas and a few weeks prior to his 47th birthday, Aleksandr Lysukha - my wife's father - died. He died from complications relating to his drinking problem, as we have heard. He'd been in a coma for a week+ and in the hospital for a month. Her family didn't inform us until last night. After the funeral. He was a monster in many ways and almost all of that had to do with the uber heavy drinking and he was largely estranged from his exwife and daughters. I never even met the man and since things were so strained between Lyuda's family and him he didn't know about me. He didn't know that his youngest daughter got married. He didn't know that his youngest daughter got married to an American. He didn't know about Avrora. In fact, he had been so estranged from the family that he may not have even known his youngest daughter no longer was even in the Old World anymore. Lyuda had been working up the guts to try to talk to him about all of the above. Now she never will.\nDrinking in Ukraine is a plague upon men. The average male life expectancy is less than 62 years old. Some of that can be accounted for by the fact they are often working in crazy level unsafe conditions, but that's only some of them (the mines and chemical industry, frex). You might think that's its poverty that's doing this too...until you see that Ukrainian women live until past age 72. In fact, there are 1.045 boys/girls between the ages of 0-14. Between the ages of 15-64, it swings to .919 boys/girls. For ages of 65 and older, the ratio falls much further to .508. Contrast that with the approximate figures of 1.05, 1, and .72 for the same age groups for Americans or 1.05, 1, and .74 for Canadians[2]. A very large difference is that Ukrainians drink and drink damned hard. It's taking its toll. Bad.\nTo make matters worse, my own family is having issues. My youngest sister has had her life 100% implode. Her kids are with my other sister. Her ex is making uber threatening comments. She even started packing a gun[3] and there are nasty rumors about what exactly is going on: drugs, death threats, and more. IDK what's true, false, or just someone lying their fundament off.\nI'd just like a year of no nasty wild events. Please?\n1. The miracle of pregnancy is just surviving it.\n2. Canada has a similar population size to Ukraine and a much better healthcare system: Ukraine's pop (I suspect) is overcounted and shrinking while Canada's is growing.\n3. Yes, she lives in Texas. No, I have no idea if she has a clue about how to wield one of those things properly. Yes, she's a 'cowgirl'. She embraced Texas big time. ick. Every child of my family has turned into someone rather different. I'm the ubergeek. Tina's embraced latino culture. Tessa's embraced Texas 'culture'. Ted's a former jock/military type.\nFrance and the EU Constitution: A Finnish Perspect...",

        "raw_content": "Blood Car, Resident Evil, Black Gold and Adopted\nThis is the newest Avengers trailer (release date May 4), wow there is some serious conflict here, which probably refers to the political landscape in America:\nI am responding to some comments that have been posted, including on Chronicle: A Death Foretold, and I am going to try and get in that second screening of Gone. Here are a few more trailers I just found today, and two of these are really rather important. The first is Blood Car: it appears the film was made in 2007 but is just being released this month in the U.K. In the near future, gas is over $35 a gallon and no one can afford to drive. Vegan geek Archie accidentally invents a car that runs on blood; since he can drive, he gets the attention of Denise, and will resort to killing to keep his car running (there is some foul language in this trailer and some suggestions of nudity):\nBlood Car, like Resident Evil: Retribution hinges on what we discussed about in the last Mission Impossible: entropy.\nI am confident it's not an accident that Resident Evil has an opening date of 9/14, invoking the anniversary of 9/11 and the consequences. Entropy, in different branches of science has different meanings, but in chaos theory entropy regards the ratio of a society's advancing complexity with its inevitable downfall (please see Nuclear Endgames: Mission Impossible). In Blood Car, the escalation of something like the price of oil has untold consequences for all of society, and in Resident Evil, while the exact triggering mechanism of \"blacking out\" civilization isn't relayed in the trailer (as in The Darkest Hour, for example) it offers us an apocalyptic forecast. In the same vein of entropy is the Antonio Banderas, Mark Strong film about the 1930s Arab oil boom and how two warring princes will fight over a small strip of desert: Black Gold.\nNow that we have taken a look at how the smallest incidents in other parts of the world can have huge impacts on our own lives, we can understand a little better this next trailer, Adopted:\nWe have not really had a chance to talk about comedy, heretofore, but as I said in relation to The Dictator, comedy is actually a unique form of censorship, because it talks about certain things to avoid talking about other things; it targets discontinuity, for example, in Adopted, the idea that life in the West is better, but would it be better with a guy like Pauly Shore? Would it be better with a guy who is dehumanizing you because you are from Africa? While we think comedy is cathartic, it actually keeps our thoughts in by releasing some pent up energy (nervousness, anxiety, fear) only to help us hold in the most important part of it.\nKeeping that in mind is the Neighborhood Watch trialer just released today. (I wasn't able to find a version I could upload directly, sorry). What does the background rap music and the stylized filming of Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill and Vince Vaughn in a mini van convey to us? Fears about gangs patrolling neighborhoods. Supposedly these suburban dads uncover a plot to destroy the world, and this may be very close to truth: would destruction of the middle class, and their ability to retain their middle class identity be the end of the world? Well, it could certainly mean the collapse of the economy, and if anyone would know what was happening, that would be the bread-winners of the middle class and what is keeping them from being able to win that bread.\nIn Valor There Is Hope: Act Of Valor\nMike McCoy's and Scott Waugh's Act Of Valor is definitely an aesthetic experience: a story line and characters that reach into your heart and inspire you with honor, patriotism and the very deepest gratitude for the unfailing line of defense protecting this country and it should be required viewing. At this time of election, when President Barak Hussein Obama (that's how his name appears on his birth certificate) wants to cut the military and veteran's benefits, Act Of Valor makes you realize what an \"act of insanity\" Obama wants to make. While there is plenty of focus on the great shoot-outs and technical marvels the Navy uses, there is also the story of the families who get left behind, the brotherhood the SEALS share and the incredible feats of heroism they have to pull off several times in every mission.\nWhen the film opens, one of the SEALS talks about his father liking abstract paintings, and the father would say, just as their is a body hidden in the painting, so there are threats hidden all around, and the world is covered in camouflage. By the end of the film, you believe that this is the gospel truth. Just as the deceased father says, \"The worse thing about growing old is that others stop seeing you as dangerous,\" is really true about the United States: the older we grow in our role as a superpower (if we still are or are going to remain so) is that no one cares if they defy us and what the consequences will be, because one, politicians are afraid of what military action will do to their political careers and two, the media will decide to make a story out of something and do anything to get readers, regardless of what has to be said so the enemies of this country know all ready that they can count on the media to be on their side.\nShabel, wearing a mask, is a convert to Islam and has just driven an ice cream truck into a school with children, under the pretense of selling them ice cream, when a female suicide bomber, serving the kids, detonates her bomb and the resulting explosion is what you see behind him in the photo above.\nWhen we are introduced into the conflict of the film (Jihadists who want to collapse the American economy through a series of acts of suicide bombing so the media will whip up panic and society will come to a stand-still) with Shabel driving an ice cream truck furiously down the road, a female suicide bomber in the back, sweating and nervous. He pulls into a school yard and children surround the truck; the girl in the back starts handing out ice cream while Shabel, still wearing his mask, acts like he's going to \"get the kids,\" and then he walks off. He isn't wearing the mask to protect his identity, he isn't protecting himself from deadly fumes or even the stench in the air from burning bodies; Shabel wears a mask so he won't \"take in\" what he has done, so he won't reflect on the people he has killed and the methods he has used to do it.\nCIA agent Dr. Morales. She is really an important character because she brings out in dramatic relief the differences in attitude about life and women between Jihadists and Americans. We see at least two women blown up (not to mention all the others put in harms way) and others who have volunteered for suicide bombing, but the SEALS are going into a highly protected compound to rescue this woman and save her. The comparison is even more dramatic when Morales tells Christo, \"I save women who give birth to men like you,\" and she does.\nThe children running up to the ice cream truck, are like dumb people running after peace with Jihadists and willing to take whatever they offer (the word \"dumb\" appears in a following scene in a scrabble game between two CIA agents) because children are young--they don't have the age that provides experience--those who claim that there can be peace with Jihadists are those who haven't learned anything.\nJust before Morales is kidnapped in the Philippines, one of the SEALS mentions that his dad died flying a B-24 Liberator bomber during World War II, which is when the United States lost control in the Philippines, so the symbol of his father dying acts as a political commentary that (perhaps) if we had maintained a greater presence, or at least been more concerned with the radical democracy developing there over the years, we wouldn't be in this mess now, or at least the mess wouldn't be as bad.\nYou know the SEAL whose wife is pregnant is the one who will die, and that holds true. Why? New life cannot come into being without sacrifice. The son he and his wife have, symbolizes the future of America, for which Rourke gave his life, and can only be guaranteed because of sacrifice, not just by the brave men and women of the military, but each one of us in our own ways.\nWhen thugs break in on CIA agent Morales and her partner, the thugs wrap Morales in a carpet to carry her out. This clearly references Elizabeth Taylor's iconic role as Cleopatra (1963) and means to invoke in the audience's mind a history of women putting themselves in danger for the sake of their country's welfare.\nChristo, the smuggler who swaps cocaine for weapons and makes sure the suicide bombers get across the border into America so that he can make money. He's the one Morales has been tracking and has her tortured. He's a really great example of someone who really hates Americans: he could care less who gets hurt or suffers, but he can't bear te thought of anything happening to his own family. A female suicide bomber is told by Sharbel that she will be re-united with her husband in heaven, but she doesn't think about the husbands and fathers she's taking away by blowing up the bomb strapped to her body.\nThere's another dimension to Morales' torture that should not be overlooked. First, the thugs holding her drill holes, with an electric drill, into each hand and both feet, branding her a Christian after the Crucified Jesus. But her swollen eye, bloodied face, her weak limbs and chapped lips also symbolize America: America isn't being targeted for being Christian, we are no longer a Christian nation, but the enemy is drilling holes into our defenses: the holes in her hand symbolize holes in our strength, and with our military being cut and our outrageous deficit, that is certain. The holes in our feet are symbolic of our will: politician's, our so-called national leaders, are willing to pull our troops out of Afghanistan and other areas needing patrol because they are losing their will against the press and media. A swollen eye out of which we cannot see means we are \"seeing only half\" of what is going on in the world, because of reduced intelligence and because of the enemy's ability to hide and the chapped lips mean that our words are weak.\nSeeing how unified and respectful, how dedicated and loyal these men are to their country, really brought out my contempt for cowardly, self-serving politicians. There aren't any of those in the film, we get a glimpse of only the very best this country has to offer, and it was nice seeing America the strong, America the proud, and not having any cynical liberals throwing tomatoes at you and calling you a fanatic because you love your country. One of the shots done particularly well is the spider in its web eating a bug. As the SEALS are moving in on the compound where Morales is being held, they work together and all their power, strength, intelligence and energy is put into one unified effort to save this woman, and they accomplish it as easily as the spider catching the bug.\nIf the threats and dangers of the world are in camouflage, then so are the US Navy SEALS, and as the world tries to tear us apart, the SEALS will be there to keep us together, no matter how little the Liberals appreciate them and Obama takes credit for their work.\nOne of the striking aspects of the film is the way it brings out how all these terrorists are driving American cars and using American weapons. But we see a small factory where vests for suicide bombers is made like an assembly line while some guy plays Brahms on his violin (read: great Western music, music of the very civilization they are trying to bring down). Whereas American ingenuinty has gone into the production of Fords and Chevys, Jihadist intelligence goes into weapons of mass destruction, suffering and terror.\nIn the back of an American truck from the terrorist camp.\nThe last thing I will discuss that the film does really well, is highlight the difference between men like the SEALS and the press. The Jihadists know that all they have to do is harness the power of the press, and the press will cause the American economy to collapse because the press won't think about what they are doing, or the consequences of it, they will only think of themselves and what they want to achieve. On the other hand, are the SEALS, the men of the very, very, very highest code of honor, conduct and sacrifice, who know why they make every move and every move is to achieve a unified goal for the safety of this country. When Rourke jumps on the grenade at the end, to protect his company, he is the one who is going to be a dad, he's the one who knows his wife is pregnant and needs him, and he knows he will die instantly by saving his fellow SEALS' lives, and he does it without thinking.\nReading the snide and shallow reviews of the film reveals the problem with Americans today: the very benefits of having been a superpower for so long have turned us into ungrateful brats. At the end of the film, a list of all the SEALS who have died just since 9/11 comes up on the screen, and I realized that professional critics weren't paying any attention to the FACT that those men died preserving the freedom the audience enjoys, those critics were thinking about imaginary standards of acting, or bizarre story lines changes they wanted, or entertaining the idea that the Navy was using this as a recruiting propaganda tool to get them to join up (who would never--even on the Navy's worst day--begin to qualify for service). With the loss of gratitude comes the loss of reality, and that's the battle the enemies of America are winning. The only real valor left in this country is in our military, which means that the only hope left for this country is with our military; our politicians certainly can't lead us anymore because they are too busy about re-election.\nThe reason the American CIA calls Christo Crisco instead, is because in Hebrew (which Christo is Jewish) Christo means \"messiah.\" The agent calls him Crisco instead because he's really just greasy and slimy.\nLabels: Act of Valor review film movie stills photos images pictures analysis decoded symbols thefneartdiner.blogspot.com The Fine Art Diner\nA Few Quick Notes\nI saw Act Of Valor and Gone yesterday and loved them both; I expected Act of Valor to be powerful, but I wasn't expecting as much depth in the story as what was delivered, so if you see ONLY ONE MOVIE this month, make it Act Of Valor (posting on that today). I was shocked at the depth and width of Gone's message, so much so, that before the film was even over, I realized I was going to have to watch it again because it was creating a subtext that I missed. Honestly, you can probably wait for Gone to come out on DVD; the psychoanalysis is really done well, but that doesn't necessarily translate to entertainment value... for me, the psychoanalysis is the entertainment value, so you have been given fair warning. I have to see it again so I hope to post on Gone around Thursday or Friday.\nA girl thrown into a dirty pit,... remind you of Silence of the Lambs? Just as the boys in Chronicle found a secret in the bottom of an earthen hole, so does Amanda Seyfried's Jill Conway in Gone.\nI just found this new trailer today; you know what I was talking about yesterday in my post on Chronicle, about the person videotaping having power in a situation that the person being taped doesn't have?... yea, watch this:\nRight now, Playback is scheduled for release on March 9. Finally, The Moth Diaries serves up my kind of English class:\nJust a few notes on this, one of the main girls in the story is named Lucie (played by Sarah Gadon) and those who read my posts from October on vampires should recall our discussion on Lucy and Renfield from Children Of the Night: Dracula 1931. Secondly, like Jill Conway in Amanda Seyfried's Gone, Rebecca (Sarah Bolger) has lost both parents (given that her mother is a \"wreck\" she's at least absent) and that always translates as both a loss of the feelings of patriotism and one's faith.\nThirdly, the dominant role of the English teacher in the trailer, Mr. Davies (Scott Speedman) means that we are \"being educated\" by the film itself on what vampires are, but we aren't being educated by True Blood, Being Human, Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, Underworld or any other modern source; rather, The Moth Diaries goes back to the beginning, the origin from which these contemporary versions grew, the Gothic novel and whenever a movie sets out to educate its viewers about something, it's really setting out to re-educate its viewers. In other words, I am hoping that The Moth Diaries will make an attempt to debunk the popularity of vampires and show them for what they really are (and, if you can't wait until April 20 for its release, you can jump to For the Dead Travel Fast: Dracula which begins the series I did in October regarding the enemies of humanity).\nThis newest trailer for Pixar's Brave, being released in June, invokes the cult of the princess warrior, one of the most mis-understood and twisted literary devices ever. It's quite possible that Brave will continue this mis-representation, however, it's also possible that, given the subtle yet definite undercurrents trying to change how femininity is understood, Brave will contribute to to the traditional understanding rather than the Feminist political agenda (there is also both Snow Whites from Mirror, Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman coming out which will also utilize this device).\nWhat's the traditional view?\nWoman, as the pinnacle of God's creation, is a spiritual warrior because she was created from spirit so she is uniquely capable of holding the Spirit, Grace and that's why God created her, to be man's help mate because man, being made from the earth, would not be able to hold Grace as well, but his rib is what binds the two together. A woman portrayed as a warrior is supposed to mean a woman battling the spiritual evils besitting her so she will make a virtuous wife and be a glowing example to other woman; we don't really see that, do we? Instead, we see women demanding to be men's equals, and this reveals that women know not from whence they come, hence, not where they are destined to go. It could be very much the same from Brave, but I do have hopes.\nAnd now for a bit of news about the economy:\nOpening at the end of August, 7500, like the plane crash in The Grey, probably acts as a metaphor for the economy: the idea of the \"ups\" and the \"downs\" and the \"crashes\" and the \"climbs\" makes an airplane an apt vehicle for discussing capitalism, especially since that plane is destined for Tokyo, the capitol of a country with as much debt as we have.\nDisney has finally given the green light to The Lone Ranger project, with big name Johnny Depp and Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski, but it's Armie Hammer (J. Edgar and Mirror, Mirror) who will play the masked cowboy and Depp will portray Tonto; Disney hopes to release the film in 2013. I may have spoken too soon. While I believed I had really reliable information for Paradise Lost being canceled due to the high costs of production, it's possible that Bradley Cooper may still pull it off (he's wanting to play Lucifer). I will keep you posted, as this sounds like it would be a theological disaster.\nLastly, The Weinstein company has made a deal with Netflix that when films such as The Artist and Coriolanus debut on TV, it won't be on cable first, it will go straight to Netflix streaming.\nI hope everyone enjoyed the Oscars last night, it was so good to have Billy Crystal back! I am nearly done with my post for Chronicle, I just loved that film, there is so much to it! I will be getting that up today and then I plan on watching Act of Valor and Gone tonight. The reason I am interested in Gone is because it involves a serial killer specifically targeting women, so in this it echoes The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, finding a killer of women. But this killer of women, I am predicting, with be a cultural indictment rather than a person, a critique about behavior and not just a police report. I have no plans to see Project X opening this weekend, but I am interested to see The Lorax: films always encode their real message, if a story isn't using symbols to communicate, then it is a documentary. Despite everyone saying that The Lorax is about \"saving the trees,\" I actually don't think that's what it's going to be about.\nThe 84th Annual Academy Awards are tonight. Below is a listing of all the nominees in all the categories, with the exception of Best Master of Ceremonies, which has been awarded to Mr. Billy Crystal. As the awards progress throughout the night, I will be posting the winners, which means we will be starting at the bottom of this list and working our way up to Best Picture. As you can see, each entry is linked to its own profile page at the Internet Movie Database, so if there is a film you are unfamiliar with, just click on the link and you will be directed to the singular profile page. Again, the Oscars are important because the films and film makers who win, shape the films which will be produced for at least the next two years, which directly effects not only our choices for entertainment, but various groups which may/may not benefit from Hollywood attention.

It's a very subtle message, not until the very last scene, but it's a terribly important message: sexual promiscuity hurts people and damages relationships.\nTowards the very end, after Lauren Scott (Reese Witherspoon) has chosen FDR Foster (Chris Pines) and Tuck has reunited with his ex-wife Katie and their son Joe, Tuck and FDR are about to jump out of an airplane on a mission, and FDR mentions to Tuck that he had slept with Katie before Tuck knew her; Tuck explodes in disbelief, \"You slept with my wife?\" and that's all he can say, even when FDR repeats that it was before Tuck even knew her, \"You slept with my wife?\" This is the moment that makes this movie, that frames everything we need to know about the characters and the direction they are headed.\nAfter you get past the first thirty minutes or so of the film, it gets much better, but the opening introductions to the characters are rather formulaic, so after the obligatory run-in with the ex-boyfriend and the assassin scene in a ritzy place with guns going off and two sexy men fighting a bad guy, the real purpose of the story disengages itself and starts engaging the audience.\nThere is a two-fold purpose to abstaining from sexual activity outside of marriage: the first is, that the intimacy is intended for a man and woman who have bound themselves in a covenant with God, and their physical intimacy is not only necessary for the procreation of children, but their love as well; the second is, the virtues of virginity help to prepare one for either their vocation in the married life, or in the religious state. When Tuck says, \"You slept with my wife?\" even though he and Katie didn't know each other at the time, Tuck is correct, Katie had been called to be his wife but, by having sexual relations with her, FDR temporarily took her as his wife and then, basically, disavowed her. Tuck, then, is correct in holding Katie has his wife even though they didn't know each other when FDR slept with her.\nPosing as a travel agent, Tuck and his wife Katie got divorced, so he goes on an online dating site and finds Lauren's profile; they meet at a bar a couple of blocks away and after she leaves Tuck, whom she really likes, she goes into a store to rent a movie and bumps into FDR Foster, who tries picking up on her , not realizing that this was his best friend's online date a few minutes ago. Both men fall for her although she doesn't know they are best friends.\nNow that we know the ending, we can consider the beginning. When Tuck and FDR realize they are both falling for Lauren, they make some rules, including, as Tuck puts it, \"No hanky-panky,\" no physical relationship with her until she decides who she wants to be with; FDR scoffs and mentions how long it has been since Tuck had dated, but agrees. Later, when Lauren can't decide between the two, she decides that she needs a sex tie-breaker; having sex with both of them will help her to decide which is the better man.\nFDR breaks the agreement. It's important that FDR and Lauren do this in the kitchen because, of course, that, more than any other place in a home, symbolizes the appetites, and their sexual intercourse tells us that for both of them, the \"other\" is about feeding their appetites and that's what they like about the other. Lauren would refuse to admit this, however, because she steadfastly gets turned off by FDR when he takes her to a nightclub and tries to impress her there and she walks out on him, but regardless of the woman Lauren would like to think of herself as being, she's not.\nTuck and FDR have Lauren under video surveillance and know the moment she tells her best friend (the most annoying character ever in a film) that she's going to get them both to have sex with her. They then re-new their gentlemen's agreement that, no matter how hard she tries to get them into bed, they will not sleep with her. FDR sleeps with her. When Tuck finds out, FDR says, \"I'm no gentlemen!\" and he's absolutely right. Then again, Lauren is no lady, and we know this from two other moments in the film.\nTuck with his son Joe after Joe's martial arts class. Tuck asks Katie, his ex-wife, if they can go to dinner and she turns him down. Things change, however, when she realizes that he's not the travel agent he's been posing to be, and things change for Joe, too. Knowing that Tuck is a CIA agent and better (read: more masculine) than what she previously thought makes Katie want him back AND makes Joe more self-confident in his own growing masculine identity. Is this random? No, this is a definite, deliberate social commentary on masculinity and the direct impact it has on femininity and children.\nWhen Lauren is talking to her friend, and has decided to sleep with both of them, Lauren says, \"I'm going to hell,\" and her friend replies that Gloria Steinem didn't go to jail so Lauren would have to be wimpy about sleeping around, but Lauren knows that this behavior is not only wrong, it's morally wrong, and she does it anyway. After she has all ready slept with FDR, and she is supposedly going to entice Tuck into sleeping with her, she stops Tuck and says, \"I'm not the kind of girl,\" although she has just proven that she is indeed that \"kind\" of girl.\nKlimt is Lauren's favorite artist, so in this clip, they are viewing Klimt's.\nWhat are the other two moments in the film that demonstrate for us Lauren's sexual promiscuity? The first is when FDR and Lauren meet at the video rental store. FDR suggests she check out Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 masterpiece The Lady Vanishes which is still considered (as FDR points out) a brilliant example of Hitchcock using mystery, comedy, action and a love story all at the same time. There is also a pun on the title: the lady has vanished, Lauren is supposed to be a lady and she is not.\nThe second moment that alerts us to Lauren's promiscuous behavior is when she's in her apartment, making popcorn, and both Tuck and FDR have broken in (using their CIA skills) to look around and take note of things she likes; while this is going on, Lauren is singing loudly, totally unaware that there are strangers in her house. What's important is her strange clothes she wears: she has on a knit sweater and no pants of any kind. The sweater symbolizes how she's wanting to protect her emotions (the thick material acts as a barrier to keep her warm) and that her lower body is naked means that her reproductive organs are \"exposed.\" In other words, she cares far more about her emotions and psychological well-being than her sexual well-being, and, because \"This is the way she does it\" (in reference to the song she's singing) she doesn't realize that a woman protecting her sexuality is protecting her emotions (even though Lauren's last boyfriend was caught sleeping with someone else, and she's been burned by an other's promiscuity, she doesn't consider her responsibility, only her appetites).\nThere is also a third foreshadowing technique employed. The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is Lauren's favorite painting (pictured below) and the way Klimt arranged it, we can tell by the woman being inched closer and closer to the edge that she's about to \"fall\" (please see my complete analysis The Kiss and the Soul: Gustav Klimt for more). When FDR takes Lauren to the \"warehouse\" to view the collection of Klimts he has assembled to impress her, he has one of his CIA friends feeding him information about the paintings that FDR repeats to Lauren to further impress her with his knowledge of the artist. Tuck breaks in on this line of communication and starts feeding FDR erroneous and absurd information that makes FDR look ridiculous before Lauren. Is the only point of this to demonstrate that FDR can't think on his own? No, it's to show that both FDR and Lauren can have the image of themselves before them and still not recognize themselves in it. Both FDR and Lauren are fooling themselves with what they think they want, and that comes out in the painting, but they take no heed (please see my analysis of the painting linked above for more).\nThere is one last device This Means War utilizes and it's definitely worth our time to consider. This Means War constantly references other films, and not arbitrarily. I mentioned all ready The Lady Vanishes: in that film, Iris Henderson is, like Lauren, faced with a choice between two men; in Young Frankenstein, Dr. Frankenstein is faced with choosing between two women, and in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Etta Place loves both Butch and Sundance and Rose has to choose in Titanic of 1997. So This Means War intentionally invokes other films where a leading actor has to make a choice between two love interests.\nBut there is literally \"another side\" to the films being mentioned. Tuck is the one who mentions they should make \"a gentlemen''s agreement\" which is from Gregory Peck's 1947 Oscar winning film Gentlemen's Agreement where Peck plays a reporter posing as a Jew to discover prejudice in America; likewise, Hitchcock's 1940 Rebecca is about dual personality (or at least psychoanalytic doubles) and Notorious of 1946 is about Ingrid Bergman being an agent but posing as a wife. Even Superman's Clark Kent is a reporter by day and superhero when danger calls. The introducing of these great films into This Means War creates another dimension of dialogue and understanding of what the characters are going through and what the storyline wants us to consider: the loss of identity.\nAll three of the leading characters are compromising their identities and this angle is brought out by the siting of other films; why? A relationship should help us to find who we are, it should hold up a mirror to our deeper self, the part of our self that only an \"other\" can bring out, that's why they are so important; in these relationships, the falsity of each character is being brought out, not their singular genuineness. FDR and Tuck are assassins, but one poses as a travel agent and the other as a captain of a cruise liner; Lauren poses as a loyal girlfriend, but she's two-timing and she seems like a smart woman but the truth is, she only gets the man she is worthy of, FDR who is no gentlemen because she is no lady. But this is exacerbated by both FDR and Tuck using their CIA skills (and resources) to \"track\" Lauren and treat her--the way Lauren treats both of them like products she's testing at work--as a \"case instead of a human.\nThe film's tagline, \"Make war not love\" is quite accurate: we should be making war on making love outside of marriage because of the consequences to our identities and emotions such behavior leads to, which in turns, leads us to not making the right choices about our mates and needlessly complicating our identities.\nLabels: This Means War films in review The Kiss Gustav Klimt meaning decoded analysis symbols social critique thefineartdiner.blogspot.com The FIne Art Diner Tom Hardy stills photos pictures images art\nEvil Against Evil: Ghost Rider 2 Spirit Of Vengean...\nSafe House & Death In Art\nChristian Economics & The Secret World of Arrietty...\nA Blessed Ash Wednesday & Film News\nThe Vow & Obamacare\nBlight Of Nature: Underworld Awakening\nPromiscuity & Gender in the 1950s: The Thing From ...\nAnd the Beasts Shall Reign Over the Earth: Them!

But something about it made me curious and I decided to keep exploring. I took classes from different teachers and tried different styles of yoga. I read about the history and philosophy of yoga.\nUltimately what was most meaningful to me was that wherever I was in my life, I often found what I needed on the yoga mat \u2013 challenges, quietness, self-knowledge, acceptance, support and many other things. Sometimes it simply reflected what was going on inside of me - restlessness, impatience, hope, passion \u2013 and this helped give me direction.\nIn the past few years I decided to pursue my life-long passions more fully, including finally becoming a certified vinyasa flow and yin yoga teacher. I am also a certified Esalen massage therapist and nutrition coach and educator with a PhD in Human Nutrition and Nutritional Biology.\nFor me yoga is a journey, and I hope to share this journey with my students in every class.",

Stay here and watch with Me.\u201d\nI don't know who it was in our Men's Ministry who coined the phrase years ago, \u201cDon\u2019t Fix Me, Just Hold Me\u201d which meant to the other guys in the group, \"I don\u2019t need your advice, I just need your friendship. I just want to know that you care.\u201d This saying has proved itself over and over again to be a great way to be a better friend to one another. And the good news is, it works in all relationships, not just between men.\nHearing those words, \"Don't Fix Me Just Hold Me\" are refreshing for the simple fact that often times in life we are fully aware of what we are struggling through as God is working in our lives or as we have just experienced a hardship or loss and what we need most from those close to us is their loving support. Just knowing they are there for us speaks volumes. In the book of Job, when his three friends first heard the news of his tremendous loss, they didn\u2019t try to fix him, no, they just came to him and sat by his side for days on end without speaking a single word. They cried with him and mourned his loss with him, but they didn\u2019t try to fix the situation by offering sage advice. That story provides for each of us an important lesson on how to be a better friend.\nAvailability is sometimes the single greatest gift we can offer others, especially in their time of need. Think about it, loved one, what keeps any of us from helping others? Isn't it our busyness that hinders us from getting involved? I remember a pastor friend telling me one time that if people wanted his counsel they could set up an appointment with him during his office hours placing the burden on them if they wanted his care. He told me that since people would take off time from work to go to the doctor he saw no reason not to make them schedule an appointment between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. if they really wanted his help. I remember thinking at the time, is that what Jesus would do? I shared with him that I thought we might need to reconsider our thinking on that for the simple fact that, \u201csince people can\u2019t schedule all their pain, they can\u2019t schedule all appointments conveniently between the hours of 8:30 and 4:30.\u201d As friends, and brothers and sisters in Christ we should all seek to be available for each other in life understanding that in doing so we will enjoy some of the most divine appointments God has to offer us.\n\"Don't Fix Me, Just Hold Me\" is a basic human cry of our heart that can be met when we choose to \"be there\" for others. We don't need to worry what to say, we don't need special training, all we need is a willingness in our heart to drop what we are doing, and to make ourselves available to others in their time of need. After all, that's what Jesus does for me and for you! Actually, Jesus does one better. When Jesus holds us, that makes it all better!\nMike Osthimer is pastor of Calvary Chapel Westbrook in Bakersfield, California.",

        "title": "The Spark and the Flame: Christianity and Gun Control",
        "raw_content": "G.K. Chesterton once remarked that the expression \u201cbirth control\u201d was something of a misnomer since those who used the expression typically favored neither birth nor control. The dangers of discussing gun control are not precisely the same, but the expression is sufficiently vague to require clarification if we are going to use it. It might mean simply owning a gun responsibly, using it carefully, and keeping it locked when not in use. Today, though, when people speak of gun control, they mean efforts to restrict or ban the ownership and use of guns in society at large. I want to consider to what extent Christianity allows or mandates such \u201cgun control.\u201d To what extent is \u201cgun control\u201d part of creating a culture of life?\nFirst, what I will not discuss. I am not interested in what the second amendment of the U.S. constitution says or means. That deals with the legality of gun control, I am interested in its morality. The lawyers and Supreme Court may argue questions of legality, but legality does not imply morality. Everything Hitler did in Nazi Germany was legal. Nor am I much concerned with arguing whether or not a magazine holding 20 bullets is moral and one holding 25 immoral. Such a question may be worth asking and answering, but I do not offer such an answer here.\nI begin by assuming that a Christian is not obligated to pacifism. The words of Jesus Christ to \u201cturn the other cheek\u201d are most typically cited by those who think a Christian should be a pacifist. Such an interpretation of His words ignores a certain incident where He armed himself with a belt of cords and proceeded to defend His Father\u2019s house, violently driving out those who had no right to be there. When soldiers asked John the Baptist what they should do to be saved, he told them to stop extorting money and to be content with their wages, but never suggesting they give up soldiering (Luke 3:14).\nOn the contrary, it is plausible that forcible defense, of self or others, might not only be a right, but a duty in certain situations. That Catechism of the Catholic Church, for instance, calls self defense \u201cnot only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm\u201d (2265). Surely this is much more plausible than not. If a man is walking down the street with his wife and three men attack them and try to force the man\u2019s wife into a car, presumably he has not only the right, but the duty to defend her. If an intruder armed with a knife or gun breaks into a man\u2019s house and heads for his child\u2019s room, presumably we would think less of a man who did not defend his child than one who did.\nActive defense, then, of self or others, may not only be a legal right, but even a moral duty. This leads to the next point. If a man has the right or duty to defend himself or others, then it follows that he has the right to tools that will be adequate to the task. It is vain to claim that a man has the right to life, but not to eat. It may be that in some cases ownership and use of a gun is necessary for effective self-defense. Indeed, it would border on folly to argue that a man could effectively defend himself against two men (or even one) armed with knives with anything less than a gun. Or suppose a weaker man of slight build without great physical strength, or an older man, or a 100 pound woman. Such people have no less a right or duty to defend himself or their families than those of greater physical strength.\nBanning guns would not necessarily create a \u201cculture of life,\u201d it might just as easily lead to a society where the physically weaker members are at the mercy of the physically stronger. It could lead to a world where a father is unable to effectively defend his children against an armed invader or a 65 year old husband is unable to defend his wife and home against a younger invader. Surely in at least some cases, the man (or woman) who picks up a gun to defend self or others is doing far more to create a culture of life than he would be if he ignored his duty to active defense.\nThis, of course, says nothing about which type of gun should be owned or banned or not. On this, I am open to speculation. For many, a shotgun may suffice, but for some women or weaker men (the present author perhaps), a shotgun may be difficult to use effectively and an AR-15 more practical. Second, a shotgun is less easy to carry about and since one\u2019s duty to defense of self or others does not end when one leaves his house, I would be skeptical of attempts to ban or overly restrict handguns. Such points may be debatable. If I have shown, however, that in principle it is plausible that a man may have the moral right and perhaps even duty to own and be able to use a gun, I am satisfied.\nMandi @ Messy Wife, Blessed Life March 4, 2013 at 11:05 PM\nGreat post! Great points! I never really thought about it from a morality angle before.\nDeltaflute March 4, 2013 at 11:43 PM\nProblem that I see is that situations in which a lethal defence is necessary are rare. So one also has to weigh need of a weapon against it being turned against you should you keep it locked up or a child accidently discharging it or in cases of school shootings being stolen.\nA whip is easier to defend against than a gun. Jesus could have just as easily used a sword like st. Peter did. But he didn't. The lash is more for punishment not defence. So that argument doesn't hold water.\nMatthias March 5, 2013 at 9:00 AM\nSo Delta, my interest here is establishing only that it is plausible that in principle there may be cases where owning and being able to use a gun is not only a moral right, but perhaps a moral duty (consider the examples I gave).\nIn practice, you are, of course, correct that there will be multiple factors that will go into whether or not an *individual person* will decide to own, carry, or use a gun. These could include, can I store the gun safely when not in use? Will I make the effort to learn to use it safely and stay in practice? If the answer to such questions is no, then certainly I would expect that individual not to own a gun. If, however, a person will put the effort into being well trained, to storing the gun safely to keep it from intruders or children (my grandfather never had a problem with this and he raised 5 boys), then gun ownership may be a responsible decision.\nThis then, should answer the other concerns you raise. If one can store and use a gun safely, thereby minimizing the potential downsides of gun ownership, then the other considerations I discuss could easily lead a responsible person to own or carry I gun.\nJesus used a weapon that was adequate to the task (see my 5th paragraph)of defending his Father's house and those weaker members of society who were being cheated by the sellers in the Temple. Obviously, I don't think a person should point a shotgun at someone whose dog poops on their lawn (well, maybe for repeat offenders?). My point here is only that Christianity doesn't entail pacifism. If you are skeptical on this point, I like C.S. Lewis's essay, \"Why I am not a Pacifist\" for a consideration of this question.",

        "title": "Towards a common philosophy of explanation in AI and neuroscience. Part I | Jessica AF Thompson",
        "raw_content": "Towards a common philosophy of explanation in AI and neuroscience. Part I\nPart I: Integration of deep learning and neuroscience\nMuch lip service is paid to the \u201cintegration of deep learning and neuroscience\u201d, with the goal of creating a feedback loop\u2014deep learning for neuroscience and neuroscience for deep learning. This turns out to be hard to do in practice. The thorough and well-referenced paper Towards an Integration of Deep Learning and Neuroscience proposes primarily experiments that are not possible given current technological limitations or experiments whose potential impact on our understanding is unclear. In fact, my own PhD research may fall into the latter category. Of course I can motivate the work with vague notions of wanting to describe neural computations in terms of artificial neural networks and fostering a feedback loop between neuroscience and deep learning, but the more specific Why remains elusive. It\u2019s not clear to me what we will actually learn or how it might fit into a larger scientific enterprise that will hopefully lead to an improved understanding of intelligent systems. This realization that I was unable to situate and justify my own research is what led me to read more philosophy of neuroscience, computation and explanation and ultimately to write this blog post.\nI think the confusion when trying to work at this intersection comes in large part from lack of agreement about what progress towards a common goal would look like. This topic came up at the inaugural Cognitive Computational Neuroscience (CCN) conference last year, which was assembled to unify the \u201cdisconnected communities of cognitive science, artificial intelligence, and neuroscience\u201d towards the common goal of \u201cunderstanding the computational principles that underlie complex behavior\u201d. Jim DiCarlo, chairing a panel discussion, asked, \u201cwhen people say they want to work together, usually there is some idea of a shared goal\u2026some idea of what success would even look like\u2026are we even after the same thing?\u201d This question received a number of very different answers from the panel, demonstrating the challenge of even agreeing on a common goal. Panelist Yann LeCun stated the common goal to \u201cexplain intelligence\u201d but this doesn\u2019t answer the question because we disagree about what is important to explain intelligence. LeCun wants to replicate animal intelligence in artificial systems. On the other hand, for neuroscientist Jackie Gottlieb, \u201csuccess means characterizing a system at a particular level of abstraction \u2026 in a way that is reproducible and solid.\u201d She seemed to view the relationship between neuroscience and machine learning as an exchange of pieces of evidence rather than working towards a common goal. Cognitive scientist Josh Tenenbaum, stressed the importance of distinguishing between goals on different time scales and suggested that all the CCN attendees probably share some long term vision of success, even if they disagree about what to do to work towards that goal in the short term. I think that coming up with good answers to these questions is the most important hurdle to overcome right now. An integration of cognitive science, artificial intelligence and neuroscience will not be possible until we are able to motivate our research by reference to a shared definition of what it means to make progress towards the goal of understanding intelligence.\nThe same debate is happening in machine learning right now. The quest for \u201cinterpretable\u201d AI is ultimately asking what explanations of AI systems will we accept? Are some systems more explainable than others? For example, are systems that are designed specifically to expose \u2018disentangled\u2019 representations more interpretable? Several events were dedicated to related topics at the Neural Information Processing Systems conference in 2017 (Interpretable ML Symposium, Learning Disentangled Representations: from Perception to Control). I think it is no coincidence that machine learning and neuroscience are both having these conversations now. Rather, it\u2019s precisely because artificial systems are looking more and more like biological ones and our models of biological intelligence are looking increasingly like AI that we are forced to question our standard conceptions of what makes a good explanation.\nThese questions are ultimately in the realm of epistemology and philosophy of science, yet I have not observed many philosophical theories invoked in the discussion. I\u2019ve realized that philosophers actually have a lot to say about computational explanation in neuroscience and cognitive science. As scientists, instead of reinventing the wheel, we would do well to look to our philosopher colleagues to help us wade through these difficult but crucially important questions about what constitutes an explanation. At the very least, I think our discussion would be simplified if we borrowed from the established language of philosophy of explanation. But I will make a stronger claim that what is needed is actually to create a new theory of explanation that applies equally to biological intelligence and artificial intelligence. The way we understand AI systems (the methods we use to study them, the nature of explanations that we accept) are very different from the way we traditionally understand and study biological systems. At present, this constitutes a challenge to the CCN goal, but in the long term, I see this as an opportunity to define a new science of intelligence that includes both artificial and biological intelligence. My central claim is that to achieve an integration of deep learning and neuroscience, we must reconcile their different theories of explanation. What I want to work towards is not deep learning applied to neuroscience or neuroscience applied to deep learning, but deep learning research that is neuroscience research.\nIn the posts that follow, I will review dominant theories of explanation in neuroscience, cognitive science and AI. As part of this, I will revisit what neuroscientists and AI researchers have written about these questions and try to situate their views within the existing philosophical frameworks of explanation.\nCustom workstation build\nLast weekend I built a computer. This machine was designed as a workstation for my research, considering the resources needed for the analysis and modelling of large 7T fMRI data and the training/testing of deep neural networks. I used PCPartPicker to help me test out different configurations and check for compatibility issues. Here is the parts list:",

        "raw_content": "Home Headlines It\u2019s all happening in Doncaster\nIt\u2019s all happening in Doncaster\nRothgen Capital UK are proud to announce the launch of the latest funding round for The Tyram Lakes Hotel, Spa and Resort in Hatfield, near Doncaster in Yorkshire UK. As a truly groundbreaking project, Tyram Lakes is utilising the latest cutting edge ecological and eco-friendly innovations as inherent parts of its designs and is the first of its kind, thus of particular interest to energy focussed investors.\nThe Tyram Lakes Hotel, Spa and Resort is set in the heart of the Humberside Peatlands, Hatfield Moor and the National Nature Reserve in South Yorkshire. Plans are already approved for 325 luxury eco-lodges set on and around 65 acres of lakes adjacent to 100 acres of natural woodlands, plus the hotel and spa.\nSome of the lodges (125) will be floating structures, and the remaining 200 will be set amid the vast woodlands. Ranging from two and three bedrooms, as well as a number of larger four bedroom accommodations, all lodges will blend into the landscape providing a private gateway with natural spaces all around. Their attractions include rooftop gardens fitted with solar panels, decking areas with sunken spa bath and a choice of classic or contemporary interiors.\nSitting at the heart of the resort is a planned boutique hotel designed by Den Architecture in association with Baca Architects, specialists in eco-friendly and amphibious projects. This ambitious hotel will feature 104 rooms, conference and meeting facilities, a fine dining restaurant with lakeside views, and indoor pool, leisure club, spa, gymnasium, and a picturesque wedding and party venue.\nThe application to build the green resort was approved by Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council in December 2016, commencing with the first phase of 50 eco-lodges constructed from timber and incorporating the latest environmentally-friendly technologies providing a tranquil escape in a beautiful natural habitat.\nSpeaking at the time, Daulton Byfield, managing director of Rothgen, the company behind the project, said: \u201cThe Tyram Lakes Hotel, Spa&Resort will be the first of its type in the UK. We are planning to invest \u00a325m to create a first class eco holiday village where visitors can relax amongst nature and enjoy a quiet break from hectic modern life.\u201d\nThe scheme comprises four phases of development:\nPhase1 \u2013 50 Lakeside and floating lodges\nPhase2 \u2013 104 Bedroom Hotel, Spa, and Leisure Centre\nPhase4 \u2013 200 Woodland retreat lodges\n\u2026. and embraces the very latest science and technology to create a resort which is designed to function through environmentally accredited solutions that are energy efficient, all of which engage and sustain the local ecosystems.\n\u201cThe scale and ambitious nature of the plans will ensure the resort is one the most luxurious, fun and relaxing holiday destinations in Europe. This green development will be as sustainable as it\u2019s currently possible to build, and be exemplary case study for other developers,\u201d says Baca Associate, Andrew Scrace.\nEfficient and ecological solutions\nGeyser Thermal Energy (GTE) was tasked with the design for the heating and hot water system for The Tyram Lakes Resort which focuses on energy efficiency and sustainability. At inception, the site had very limited electrical and water supplies (with no gas supply) and it was crucial that the system would not have a negative impact on the local ecology.\nGTE devised an innovative approach of using the main lake as a heat source for the lodges, coupled with various (nonchemical) water filtration processes that further reduced energy consumption and the need for chemicals.\nSuch an innovative renewable heating system coupled with highly efficient and ecologically sound water solutions will mean minimal running costs and environmental impact for the development.\nIt may then come as no surprise that the interest attracted by Tyram Lakes is not just from the Green and Eco sectors. Its existing design and sustainability has led to the world famous ARMANI brand becoming involved with the design of a selection of exclusive lodges on the site. This will make The Tyram Lakes Resort & Spa the first ever Armani development inside the UK.\nNow partnering too with Natural England who have a sizeable park neighbouring Tyram Lakes, and who have agreed to complimentary access for Tyram Lakes guests, providing countless more acres for hiking, trails, exploration and more. And as though these factors aren\u2019t enough to persuade investors, Hoseasons, the UK\u2019s largest park operator, has recently agreed to guarantee the rental on the lodges at the resort, providing evidential balance sheet background for those wishing to invest.\nOh, and just down the road the Yorkshire Wildlife Park has recently announced its \u00a350M expansion which will potentially make it a top UK destination.\nSo, it\u2019s all happening in Doncaster, Yorkshire, and The Tyram Lakes Resort & Hotel is inviting investors to play along\u2026\u2026\nPrevious articleBID teams up with business for MAD Day\nNext articleAiming to combat Rotherham\u2019s obesity \u2018Epidemic\u2019",

        "raw_content": "The Yellowtail Damsel is also known as the Yellowtail Blue Damselfish, the Yellowtail Demoiselle and the Goldtail Demoiselle. It is confused in naming with the Azure Damselfish (Chrysiptera hemicyanea), which is yellow in the pectoral and anal fins, but not in the tail. The Yellowtail comes from the central and western Pacific, including the Red Sea. It is bright blue, with a yellow tail that fades to clear at the edges.\nYellowtail Damsels are very popular and are a good beginner\u2019s fish. They eat a wide range of foods, withstand poor water conditions, are disease resistant and they are inexpensive. They are often used as the first fish introduced to a new tank. A tank of at least 100 gallons is recommended, but it is possible to keep a single Yellowtail in a smaller tank if there aren\u2019t many other inhabitants. Although Yellowtails are among the least aggressive damsels, they still should be provided with plenty of hiding places and kept either alone or in groups of 4 or 5 in a large tank to reduce aggression.\nThe Yellowtail is an omnivore. It will eat vegetable matter, spirulina, flake foods and mysis shrimp. The Yellowtail is also reef safe, as it will ignore invertebrates and feed on zooplankton and algae. Feedings should be made in small amounts several times per day.\nThe Yellowtail has been bred in captivity. Males are usually larger and more slender. When ready to breed, the male becomes very aggressive toward the females and the mating ritual usually occurs in the early morning. An open clam shell is a good location for depositing the hundreds of adhesive eggs. The male is responsible for cleaning the area and guarding the eggs. It does so vigorously against all intruders. The fry hatch in about a week. They are very small and will be sucked in to running filters, so a tank where these can be shut off is necessary. The fry should be raised on rotifers (produced in the green water of rotting vegetables). The use of brine shrimp during the first month is not recommended. Within a month, the fry will take on the blue coloring, including the yellow tail. Yellowtails can live more than 5 years in an aquarium.\nScientific Name: Chrysiptera parasema\nSize: 8 cm; 3 inches\nCrustacean Safe: Yes\nSuitable tank mates include small Angels, Blennies, Rabbitfish, Yellow Tang.",

        "raw_content": "UCSD Researchers Measure Effects of 2015-2016 El Nino Storm\nMay 12, 2016 Ming-Ray Liao\nAn interdisciplinary group of climate researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography was funded by the National Science Foundation to document and analyze the 2015\u20132016 El Nino season. According to the data gathered by scientists at SIO, heavy rainfall did not fall in Southern California as expected; they observed other extreme phenomena associated with El Nino.\nMark Ohman, a biological oceanographer and professor at SIO, described the project as encompassing multiple areas of scientific specialty and outlined the various methods involved in investigating the impact of El Nino.\n\u201cThis particular research team is an interdisciplinary group of biological, chemical and physical oceanographers that collaborates with climate scientists to understand climate influences on the ocean ecosystem off the California coast,\u201d Ohman told the UCSD Guardian in an email. \u201cWe use a variety of experimental studies at sea [as well as] autonomous observations using ocean gliders, moorings and satellite remote sensing, shipboard surveys and ocean numerical models, in order to understand ecological responses to climate forcing.\u201d\nThe El Nino event is part of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation cycle, which is a natural event in which the temperature of the Pacific Ocean and its surrounding atmosphere fluctuate between hot and cold due to changes in equatorial trade winds. El Nino is a warm water anomaly caused by the weakening of the trade winds that form in the equatorial Pacific and propagates to higher latitudes via oceanic surface currents. The heat released via convection is thought to drive surface winds causing frequent storms and heavy rainfall across Southern California.\nDirector of the Center for Western Water and Weather Extremes at Scripps Marty Ralph stated although the signs pointed toward an extreme El Nino, rainfall did not reach expected levels or expected locations.\n\u201cIt was clear that while El Nino had stacked the deck for a wet Southern California, it was still possible to draw the wrong card and that\u2019s what happened in Southern California,\u201d Marty Ralph said in a press release.\nLaura Engeman, manager of the San Diego Regional Climate Collaborative, added that even though total rainfall was less than anticipated, the effects were still detrimental.\n\u201cThis year\u2019s El Nino brought less overall rainfall than expected; however, it did bring very intense rains over very short periods of time and at abnormal times of the year,\u201d Laura Engeman in a press release said. \u201cThese rains led to severe flash floods in several cities across the region, exemplifying how these climatic shifts can impact our businesses and communities, and why it is important that we plan now to make us more resilient to the impacts of these climatic extremes.\u201d\nScripps coastal oceanographer and assistant professor Sara Giddings maintains that El Nino\u2019s effects, notwithstanding the lack of rain, are evident.\n\u201cThere\u2019s a public perception that El Nino never came, but it certainly did from an ocean perspective,\u201d Giddings said in a press release. \u201cStorm activity \u2014 waves and total water levels \u2014 was unusually strong, enough to increase the infill rates of estuaries and move not just sand but also cobblestones.\u201d\nAccording to a manuscript submitted to the Geophysical Research Letters, the 2015\u201316 El Nino caused abnormally high sea surface temperatures, the highest since 1982\u201383 and 1997\u201398 El Nino events. SIO physical oceanographer Dean Roemmich says that it\u2019s important to distinguish larger-scale El Ninos because they may result in different effects.\n\u201cEl Nino is not a linear phenomenon, meaning that the impacts of El Nino may be different for strong versus weak episodes,\u201d Roemmich told the Guardian.\nIn addition to causing extreme weather, the warmer surface waters also prevent the upwelling of nutrient-rich water from the deep sea, restricting the growth of single-celled photosynthetic phytoplankton and thus decreasing food availability for organisms higher up in the food chain.\nEl Nino is typically followed by La Nina, a period of colder oceanic temperatures created when the equatorial trade winds pick up again and allow for the upwelling of cold seawater from the deep sea.\nGovernor Signs Bill to Raise California\u2019s Legal Smoking Age",

        "raw_content": "Home/Posts/Engaging the senses/It\u2019s Nouveau Season\nIt\u2019s the time serious red wine lovers love to hate, the season of Beaujolais Nouveau. While many condemn the trendiness of Beaujolais Nouveau as a recent invention to dispose of a surplus of wine, a \u201cvin de saison\u201d has been a fixture of life in the Beaujolais region for centuries. They have always made a wine that was fermented a short time and consumed in its fruity youthfulness as a way to celebrate the end of the harvest. True, the marketing hype surrounding the official release of this nouveau, or new, wine is a recent trend, but the idea of a fruity, just-fermented wine is enshrined in Beaujolais tradition.\nBeaujolais Nouveau (Photo: Georges Duboeuf)\nBeaujolais, a region just to the south of Burgundy, is famous for its granitic soils and its love of the gamay grape. Gamay, a cousin of pinot noir, makes a red wine that is delightfully fruity, low in tannin and with moderate acidity. It\u2019s the consummate bistro wine and to be honest, a good Beaujolais can easily be confused for a good pinot noir. I\u2019m not about to argue that Beaujolais Nouveau, fermented quickly and released shortly after harvest, on the third Thursday of November (that\u2019s today!) represents the best of what Beaujolais is capable of being, but it\u2019s a fun quaff that represents about 25 percent of the wine produced in the Beaujolais region.\nBeaujolais Nouveau graces countless Thanksgiving tables where, with its moderate acidity and low tannin, it\u2019s a good pairing for frequently overcooked turkey with too-salty stuffing. It\u2019s a fun drink and as much as I tell my friends there is far better Beaujolais than nouveau for only a few dollars more, I confess I\u2019ll be in the queue to buy a couple of bottles later today and I\u2019ll probably go for the ubiquitous flower-labeled bottle from the \u201cKing of Beaujolais,\u201d Georges Duboeuf \u2013 artist Chlo\u00e9 Meyer won a contest to have her art featured on the 2018 label. It\u2019s a great after-work glass to share with friends, and even in our warm Florida climate, it\u2019s a wonderful harbinger of the red wines we embrace as the weather begins to cool, however slightly. So, let\u2019s celebrate Beaujolais and the wine culture of France that gives so much pleasure.",

Task-Centered User Interface Design. Chap 1. Lewis & Rieman\nThe Perfect Brainstorm. The Art of Innovation. Kelley.\nHow does the Lewis & Rieman design cycle compare to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class?\nLewis and Rieman suggest that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Do you think this is always true?\nBjoern Hartmann - 1/20/2010 13:13:59\nThis is a test response.\nLewis and Rieman's design cycle seems very similar to the design-prototype-evaluate cycle described in class. Their first 5 steps can all be lumped into a \"design\" phase, the 6th step is exactly prototyping, and evaluation takes place with tests, iteration, and tracking of the design.\nAs for the assertion that user interfaces should include generic features, even when they don't directly play an important role in the system's functionality, I feel it is not true in many cases. For an extremely simple program where an emphasis is placed on small program size, those extra features may work contrary to the goal of having a small program.\nBrainstormer: I liked the \"The Space Remembers\" suggestion for brainstorming. There were numerous times I've erased potentially good ideas from a whiteboard because we didn't have enough space. The \"spatial memory\" theory where a mindset is tied with a position on the white board is pretty interesting too.\nTask-centered...: Counting keystrokes/number of decisions is a great metric to go by. I often find my most often used tasks in a program taking too many keystrokes for my liking. I hope we can incorporate some GOMS Analysis in our project at some point.\nRegarding the question of whether to make a novel interaction paradigm versus using an existing paradigm, the authors advocate using an existing paradigm because users are accustomed to using them and many of the design decisions are made. But does this discourage innovation? If we always have to use an existing paradigm, even for purposes of cost effectiveness and familiarity, could it prevent us from experimenting and thinking of the system in a different way that could possibly be better? That relates to brainstorming in the sense that people need to be open to all kinds of ideas before they decide to weed them out. If we're just weeding out ideas because they're too different from an established system, it seems like we're discouraging innovation.\nThomas Evans-Pratt - 1/22/2010 10:03:00\nHow does the Lewis & Rieman design cycle compare to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class? They seem very closely related. The process outlined by Lewis & Rieman is simply more flushed out. Overall their design cycle is of the same formula but given depth for the overall design process. Lewis and Rieman suggest that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Do you think this is always true? For the most part I think this is a good design methodology, but it is not always needed. Apple decided against backwards compatibility when most users expect that, but it allowed them to create a (possibly) better OS because it no longer had to worry about that aspect.\n1. The design cycle described in the chapter is essentially a more specific version of the three stage cycle, in that each stage is broken down into concrete and detailed steps. Lewis and Rieman outline a particular method to approaching UI design, which they call task-centered, whereas designing, prototyping, and evaluating are very general terms. Two designers could very easily take different approaches to these three stages. So in essence, the Lewis and Rieman cycle is one specification of the three stage cycle.\n2. This is certainly not always true. Especially in today\u2019s society, companies that don\u2019t do something different very often get overlooked and unnoticed. The mobile space is a great example of this, where companies such as Apple and Google are pushing out innovation and challenging the way people are used to engaging with their phones. In general, companies should not always be afraid of taking a risk in trying to modify users\u2019 behavior and how they are used to interacting with applications. If it were still the case where companies always included old features, the level of innovation we have seen probably wouldn\u2019t be as far as it is today.\nIt seems to me that the Lewis & Rieman design process is an expanded version of the three stage cycle described in class, as it goes into more detail about what steps should be taken during each of the design, prototype, and evaluate phases. The design phase includes the first five steps of the Lewis & Rieman process (task and user analysis, choosing representative tasks, plagiarizing, roughing out the design, and thinking). The prototype phase includes the next step of the Lewis & Rieman process, namely creating a mock-up or prototype, and the evaluate phase is equivalent to Lewis & Rieman's 7th step, which is testing the design with users. While we did touch on the next two Lewis & Rieman steps, iteration and eventually building the design, in lecture, we did not really discuss tracking and changing the design, which I believe are critical to the success of any product.\nLewis & Rieman design cycle is more complex and requires more elaboration than the three stage cycle described in class, and it puts a lot more emphasis on the design stage. Like the three stage cycle, the Lewis & Rieman design cycle needs a good understanding of the user and their tasks. However, The L&R cycle also includes the use of the GOMS analysis to estimate task time. Furthermore, the L&R design cycle is very similar to the three stage cycle since both require the creation of a mock-up or prototype. Both cycles agree on sketching the product on paper. However, each cycle suggests different interactive prototyping rules. The L&R cycle also suggests testing the design with users, whereas the three stage cycle also suggests evaluating the product without users. Evaluating the product without users will be useful when correcting major mistakes that can be easily detected. Also both cycles agree on changing the design in the future in order to correct mistakes and improve the product. Finally, I believe that including generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality is important at some extend. Nowadays, people expect the computer cursor to be able to select any text and copy it. It has become intuitive for many computer users. Disallowing this feature may disappoint some users, even though the purpose of the product isn\u2019t to select and copy with the cursor. However, I believe that unimportant features or features that may cause malfunction must not be included in the system\u2019s functionality. For example, cutting text from a web page should not be allowed unless the web page is in edit mode.\nTuan Le - 1/22/2010 21:28:02\n1)Lewis & Rieman design cycle contains 11 steps, but the first 8 steps could be summarized into three stages (design, prototype, evaluate) that we discussed in class. The design stage will include: Figure out who\u2019s going to use the system to do what, choose representative tasks for task-centered design, plagiarize, rough out the design and think about it. The prototype stage will be \u201cCreate a mock-up or prototype\u201d. The evaluate stage includes: Test the design with users and iterate. Out of the steps listed in Lewis & Rieman design cycle, what grasps my attention the most is the idea of \u201cPlagiarize\u201d. From my experience, I absolutely agree with the authors\u2019 idea that we should \u201cfollow the lead of the existing system\u201d. This is like someone who is a PC user. It is not likely he or she will switch to Mac some day. I have been using PC for more than 10 years. Although Mac is growing up quickly, I still like PC better. Perhaps, it\u2019s because I am not familiar with Mac. Using something you\u2019ve already known is always easier.\n2) I think if a lot of users expect certain generic features, then they should always be included in the system. Putting these features away helps simplify the interface, but the result is that the users might turn away from our company's product to look for other products on the market that meet their needs.\nThe Lewis & Rieman design cycle and the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described during class were very similar. During design they both explained about how the designers should think what the users want to see and be the most useful. Then in the prototype part, both descriptions said to write on a paper (the class discussion used a sticky-notes to draw the design). Then use some software to make the prototype. Then evaluating part consisted of testing and iterating the program. Afterwards, building, tracking, and changing the design until the program is completely made so it is user-friendly.\nI think a system should include generic features that users expect even if it is not important. The reading used an example of Macintosh users expecting the cut and paste function even if it has no use. This is a great example because Mac Applications all have cut and paste even if it is useless (sometimes it is shown but cannot click on it). This is fine because it only takes up two spaces and usually those functions are not the main function so it does not show up as a cut and paste buttons. I suppose that by cut and paste functions being in the edit section, it just comforts the Mac users.\n1. The design cycle as described in the Lewis & Rieman article is similar to the cycle as described in lecture. The ideas of \"designing\" (figuring out the target audience and making sketches), \"prototyping\" (making a working model of your system), and \"evaluating\" (making sure the product is refined and going back to the drawing board if not) are fundamental to the process. The article goes into more depth and lists techniques on how exactly to go about those steps, and they list useful examples.\n2. I think that the inclusion of generic features that users expect is often a good idea. The only time that I believe it wouldn't be wise to include them would be if the product absolutely cannot use the generic features in a way that makes sense (i.e. a cut & paste feature in a video playing program such as Apple Quicktime).\nThe design cycle detailed by Lewis and Rieman is very similar to the \"design, prototype, evaluate\" outline described in lecture, but goes into deeper detail into each of the steps. For the design process, much of the steps are the same, but L&R discusses a \"plagiarize\" step that stood out to me. In lecture, we talked about looking at the existing interfaces that are being used for the task and analyze what aspects are successful/flawed, which I agree with, but L&R suggest going as far as copying existing paradigms for button placement and menu names, following a \"if it ain't broke, don't fix it,\" logic. I think that one has to be careful in following this philosophy in designing a new interface, because if the resulting product is too similar in feel and use to what already exists, users will find little incentive to switch to it. The challenge in making a new interface for tasks that already have interfaces is to find new but equally viable (or better) alternatives for details like button placement, to reach out to a sector of the users not completely satisfied with the layout of existing interfaces who will find the new design more appealing for their tastes.\nAs for the inclusion of generic features that users expect, I believe that generally, features are part of a system because there is some functionality to it. But, if a feature has become obsolete but exists purely out of convention because users are accustomed to it existing, there is little point to keeping it there. Users will adapt to its removal if it served little purpose besides being the users' \"safety blanket\" before.\nThe Lewis & Rieman task-centered design process is a more concrete and expanded version of the three stage cycle described in class. It contains a cycle and has steps similar to designing, prototyping, and evaluating, but also has more in-between steps such as choosing representative tasks and thinking through a design before prototyping it. However, whereas the three stage cycle is more general, the task-centered process focuses specifically, as the name implies, on the tasks that users will perform using the UI to be designed.\nI agree with Lewis and Rieman in that generic features expected by users should be included even if they are not central to a system's functionality, but I do not think that that is always true. Following their example, something like cut and paste is often not central, but is expected by users in any input field and could lead to frustration if it is not supported. However, sometimes these generic features could be completely useless (such as cut and paste in an application without text input), and thus would only add extra time to development with no benefits.\nI found the chapter on brainstorming an interesting, almost scientific, take on such an unscientific process. However, as the things to do and things not to do have been tried in practice and have worked for IDEO, they are definitely points that I'll keep in mind for any brainstorming sessions I am part of. In particular, the less obvious points such as numbering ideas and asking the boss to leave could possibly be the most productive.\nI totally agree that \"the best way to get a good idea is to get a lot of ideas.\" It is similar to writing the first draft of an essay; it is the best to write down whatever that flows in the head and modify them later. Setting rules like how the boss announced that \"every new idea has to be patentable\" really limits the flow of people's ideas. Doing content-related homework is another good idea. In my past experience, getting a brainstorm session to start is the hardest part of the whole session.\nThe task-centered design process seems rather intuitive. But I never thought of using existing interface might be a good thing. I did not realize that it usually takes time for people to get used to new interface even if the new interface requires fewer steps.\nLewis & Rieman design cycle provides more steps and it has more details than the three stage design. It can be a good thing to consider things in a more detailed way, but it also seems more rigid.\nHaving generic but irrelevant features can be either a good or bad things. It could be good when users feel more comfortable to have what they expected even when they rarely use them. But it could become a bad idea when these generic features take up too much space or interfere with those that are actually relevant to the functionality.\nI felt that the first article, outlining the steps that should be taken when designing an interface, was complemented perfectly by the second article concerning effective brainstorming. Many of the steps outlined for optimal interface design consisted of gathering one's thoughts and cleary defining the desired functionality of the interface. In order to do this, good brainstorming techniques such as staying on topic and creating a supply of useful ideas on which to build are necessary. A key point made in the article on brainstorming was to keep an open mind. This is relevent to interface design because the needs of users are very diverse and often very hard to predict.\nThe Lewis & Rieman design cycle is similar to the one discussed in lecture. The L&W design cycle seems to just be an elaboration of the three stage cycle. In stage 1.4 of L&W they rough out the design after careful consideration of your target audience. Then in 1.6 they create a prototype to just show the basic parts that can be done. In 1.7 they test the design with users and in order to evaluate what problems crop up and how well the product is received. This is all similar to the three stage cycle explained in lecture (design, prototype, evaluate).\nI don't think this is always true. Oftentimes this will only add to clutter on the program in question. Only when there is a demand for these generic features during the evaluation phase should these features be put in. Otherwise it will only prolong the design cycle and delay the time it takes to ship out the product.\nResponse to Kelley reading:\nKelley presents a lot of useful brainstorming advice, but he doesn't make any mention of what to do AFTER a brainstorming session. Brainstorms can generate a huge volume of ideas, some better than others: what's a good approach to sorting through all of these? The period of time immediately after a brainstorm can often be, in my experience, the critical bridge between idea and action. If one waits too long or lacks decisiveness, the usefulness of the brainstorm can fade.\nResponse to Lewis and Riemann reading:\nIncluding in an interface features that users have come to expect, even if they play no major role in the application, does make a certain amount of sense to me. After all, a designer can't anticipate how each user's unique workflow does or does not take advantage of these \"typical features.\" However, one can be overzealous in this approach, insisting on replicating each and every such \"typical feature.\" This likely burdens the interface more than helping it. They key is to strike the right balance between being too novel and being too bloated with familiar functions.\nI think this is always true. We do not know when users need to use generic features because users take some time to get familiar with new features. When users do not know how to use new features, users are willing to use the generic features. Therefore, a system should maintain the generic functions even thought they are not important any more. This is one way of understanding the users' background that we have to know before we start designing user interfaces.\nIn the development cycle described in class, evaluation occurs as its own step towards the end of a cycle. The Lewis and Rieman design cycle is somewhat similar, but seems to emphasize constant evaluation of the usability of the interface in each step of the process. Generic features are nice to get the user quickly accustomed to the interface (since it's familiar), but if an interface will be quite different than what has come before, then those features can be left out, since users will have little familiarity anyway.\nIn the article about brainstorming, the author seems to emphasize the quantity of ideas produced over the qualities of the ideas. Even though an idea may sound crazy, it is best to record it because it may come to some use later. Brainstorming seems like it would sacrifice efficiency for creativity, because many ideas are produced, but only a few get used eventually. On the flip side, the more ideas produced, the more likely one of them will be useful. A brainstorming session should not seem like a normal meeting, so the author says it should not be run as a meeting.\nI really liked two of the points that Kelley made in The Perfect Brainstorm. Generating a problem statement at the beginning of a brainstorm seems like an obvious thing to do, but many of the brainstorms that I have attended at work seemed to wander because of a lack of focus. Of course, as Kelley says, the problem statement should also be worded in such a way that it is not too narrow-minded, as that could limit the creativity of the discussion. Another interesting point was that brainstorms should get physical by bringing in objects relevant to the discussion - this will likely help participants stay focused and keep them interested.\nWhile the authors of The Task Centered Design Process bring up some very good ideas about a process for designing, there are a few points that I do not agree with. For example, adding functionality that should not be in a system and is irrelevant to the point of the system just confuses users and encourages them to use the system in inappropriate ways. Also, the authors suggest that using something familiar to users is better than something that totally different. While I agree with this on some level, they seem to disregard the fact that the designers are trying to develop a better system (especially if something familiar already exists). It does not seem desirable to fall into the limitations and pitfalls of an already existent design. Other than these two small points, the authors of The Task Oriented Design Process came up with a very clear and reasonable process for design.\nThe authors of Brainstorming have obviously used their own company as a model for all other companies in their paper when describing the value of brainstorming. It seems reasonable to assume that their company could be used as a model for some of the other companies out there, but the repeated use of that analogy weakens its effectiveness and strengthens the idea that not all companies are similar to their company. They pointed out a couple of very good actions that I would not have thought of when brainstorming such as building a model, not allowing critiques of ideas, and writing the ideas in various places within a room to encourage spatial memory. The one question that I have is that they were not very clear in describing how to come up with focus ideas for a brainstorm that were not too focused, but also not too wide and implausible.\nThis was my first encounter with a methodology for creating a user interface, but I have learned about an analogous methodology for creating physical products. The task-centered design process parallels the need finding product design methodology for creating physical products. Each of the two methods count their success on focusing on the needs of the user primarily, prototype to understand more, and iterate to finally get it right.\nAfter reading this article I realized the importance of coming into a Brainstorm with the right attitude. Many times before have I been invited to a Brainstorming session only to walk out with the same reciprocated ideas rehashed in a different guise. It was particularly remarkable that the group who Stretched their Mental Muscles by going to the toy store had the most successful brainstorm of the groups. I think as adults, we feel that our experiences and knowledge should guide us in our thoughts... but then we miss the central tenet of a brainstorm, to explore things anew. Forget what you know, and turn on that child like awareness so you don't miss life's smaller details. I think that was the message.\nThe task-centered user interface design cycle seems to match the design cycle presented in class very closely. I think including functionality familiar to the users, but not essential to the main functionality is important, though not always necessary. It accelerates the rate at which the user becomes accustomed to the new interface because they can draw from their experiences with other user interfaces. This thinking leads the author to say that essential features of existing interfaces could be copied into the new interface as opposed to making new design decisions.\nIn response to Task-Centered User Interface Design:\nThis reading was very informative about the entire design process---from identifying what the system does and who is does that function for, to how to effectively build a design and build it in a way that allows for change with the evolving technology.\nI thought that a lot of the ideas were very good. I think that the idea of keeping a checklist and comparing it with the functions that it should perform is a good way to ensure functionality, as well as mapping functions to representations in the English language.\nThe idea of keeping the future in mind---keeping track of the technology in the world and the ever-changing environment through our workplaces and our homes. This is key. Also, building the design so that these changes can be made procedurally and easily, without hard-coding design aspects such as shapes and colors of interface elements.\nIn response to the brainstorming article:\nThe first thing that struck me is that your really aren't a fan of something if you do it only once a month. Practice and repetition is a key to gaining a skill. In this case, brainstorming was the topic. This article elaborated the different ways to facilitate and impede brainstorming sessions. It seemed to coincide with common sense mostly, but there were some aspects worth mentioning: Getting physical and using spatial memory to help in sessions. I know that this is entirely true---typing an idea up in front of a computer can be mundane---whereas frantically spilling ideas onto a paper napkin can make a much greater impact on our neurological tissues for future recall.\nI also thought is was good to mention certain ways not to brainstorm, such as a boss should never say his ideas first which limits the rest of the groups contributions. Also, yet unfortunately in some cases, going to exotic locations was not the answer to creating a productive environment for brainstorming.\nQuestion1: Lewis & Rieman(L&R) design cycle supports the idea of the three stages cycle described in class. For designing, L &R suggests that we should make the design task-centered and we should have early and continued contact with the users and designers in order to make a customer-fulfilling design. Also, L&R recommends that we can reference to current applications, which have the same tasks, \u2018user interfaces. Therefore, we should observe existing practices as it is said in the class. After having the rough design, L&R reckons that we should also analyze our design such that we can discover our UI\u2019s strength and weakness. Creating scenarios and models are possible ways to analyze our UI. After the design is being analyzed, L&R depicts that we can prototype our design using UIMS or any other prototyping tools. And it is the same idea as rapid prototyping in the slides. The last part is to evaluate the designs. Testing the design with users is one of the evaluations. L&R mentions that we can survey our target group of people to get the feedback and understand the confusion that the users might get during the trial. If the cost is affordable, we should also iterate our 3 steps until to a point that we think it is good for the market. In addition, the product should have regular review after its release in order to catch up with user\u2019s changes and new technology.\nQuestion2: I think it is true in the macintosh example and it is often true.\nFrom the customer\u2019s point of view, if something is good, I would like to buy of it.  Apple-users would buy another Apple gadget since they like the features and UI of the Apple\u2019s products. Therefore, it is essential that the system encompasses the generic features.\nFrom the point of view of Apple, the common UI and features of Apple products define what kind of image Apple projects to its customers. Besides the Apple case, even if you devise of a new way of doing the same task, it is also good to keep the old ways and features since not all the users are accustomed to the new way. For instance, Facebook has changed its look&feel a few times. However, the new features and the new looks were not attractive to the users. As a result, the users request that they should have their rights to choose to remain the old features and look.\n1) I find both Lewis and Rieman's design cycle and the three stage cycled discussed in class to be very similar. Both put a great amount of emphasis on the design process before any coding is done and recommend having iterations where the design is continually improved upon by a previous version's testing with a sample of the user base. I did like that Lewis and Rieman's design stage also included a stage after the user interface is released that talks about keeping contact with the users so as to get real world feedback and capitalize on any opportunities presented by the users.\n2) I don't agree with the Lewis and Rieman's point about including generic features. If the features do not help to serve any of the tasks of the system, then it is just bloat and good design should be to keep a program as simple, efficient, and free of unnecessary features as possible. If users want the generic features, then the system's task should be change to include a task that would require the features and take full advantage of such features.\nDaniel Perry - 1/24/2010 20:32:58\nThe Lewis and Reiman reading go into greater depth with the \"design\" stage by recommending a task-based approach. This means the product's underlying tasks drive the design process. While I understand their point of \"plagiarizing\" existing UIs to take advantage of what already works, I think the designer should be highly skeptical of previous UIs and not get trapped into copying something that really could be improved.\nIn response Lewis & Rieman, I believe that task specifications that are too fine and concrete may be detrimental to the overall design. Instead of designing around a list of \"real-world\" tasks the product must support, I believe more in expanding out from a single goal. Start from a single action--a main goal for for the product--and design around that. Focus more on the action the product is meant to carry out and less on what the user wants to do with the product. Now a days, there are thousands of applications that not only specialize in one action but also in one method of carrying it out.\nThe design cycle described in the chapter is essentially a more specific version of the three stage cycle, in that each stage is broken down into concrete and detailed steps. Lewis and Rieman outline a particular method to approaching UI design, which they call task-centered, whereas designing, prototyping, and evaluating are very general terms. Two designers could very easily take different approaches to these three stages. So in essence, the Lewis and Rieman cycle is one specification of the three stage cycle.\nThis is certainly not always true. Especially in today\u2019s society, companies that don\u2019t do something different very often get overlooked and unnoticed. The mobile space is a great example of this, where companies such as Apple and Google are pushing out innovation and challenging the way people are used to engaging with their phones. In general, companies should not always be afraid of taking a risk in trying to modify users\u2019 behavior and how they are used to interacting with applications. If it were still the case where companies always included old features, the level of innovation we have seen probably wouldn\u2019t be as far as it is today.\n2nd reading - The Perfect Brainstorm\nI found this to be a very refreshing read. It seems very easy to just have a manager delegate specific tasks without allowing engineers to explore and express their individual creativity. Especially in a very technical field, I find that it can be easy to get bogged down with details and technicalities, and I agree that it having brainstorming sessions where everyone is thinking big picture ideas would be productive and useful. However, I could imagine how office politics could affect these sessions - such as issues with who is taken seriously/respected, giving criticism for someone\u2019s idea, etc.\nI believe the design cycle that's proposed by Lewis and Rieman, is actually a more specific form of the waterfall approach, rather than a different style of development. The task-focused steps of the cycle is probably a consideration that is taken into account during the development, but is not the focus in the waterfall approach, which may encompass a variety of different focuses. Step 8 makes the similarity between the 2 a bit more obvious. Although steps 9 and beyond go a little bit farther than the waterfall approach because it talks about the steps after the product has come out, it can be assumed that a product is not static after initial production.\nHow does the Lewis & Rieman design cycle compare to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class? The Lewis and Rieman has more steps than the three-stage cycle from class, but it is essentially the same process. The first step \"Figure[ing] out who's going to use the system to do what\" is an evaluation of what your target user will be. Also the second step \"choosing representative tasks for task-centered design\" could also be part of the analysis and inquiry process. \"Plagiarize\", \"Rough out the design\", \"Think about it\", and \"Create a mock-up or prototype\" are the same as the prototyping step in the three-step cycle. Finally, \"test the design with users\", \"iterate\", build the design\", and \"track the design\" are part of the evaluation process. The final step in Lewis and Rieman is to \"change the design\" which is essentially performing step 1 again given all the information given at that point.\nLewis and Rieman suggest that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Do you think this is always true? No, I do not think this is always true. Having generic features can sometimes add complication to the system and make it look much more complicated than it actually is. Even though these generic features may be something that is familiar to users, if it is not important to the system, it should not be implemented. Also having more features can make it difficult to spot problems/bugs later on.\nThe emphasis on developing a good problem statement was helpful. I've found in my own experience at brainstorms for an interactive agency that many of the ideas were similar regardless of the movie or project because the problem statement was so similar; making sure the problem statement is unique is important. I also like the concept of a warm-up and how the IDEO team would look at objects related to the brainstorm to generate ideas. This isn't discussed explicitly in terms of web interfaces (only tangible objects). Might brainstormers look at other websites before hand?\nThe Lewis and Reiman is essentially the same cycle described in class, but it more detail. We need to find a target audience which is part 1.1, 1.2-1.5 talks about the design process and gives you tips such as building upon existing ideas. There's no need to reinvent the wheel. The article concludes with prototypes and testing.\nBrainstorming is an essential part of every design cycle and pauling's book makes its importance clear. Brainstomers I think can eve increase the productivity of the employees by raising their excitement and involvement with a project. The team will learn to communicate with each other properly once they know how to properly brainstorm!\nI had never thought of the plagiarizing concept, and I think it is a really important one. If a user is already used to doing a task from a certain menu or tapping certain buttons, then it makes sense to create a new program that does those tasks in the same way, so as to not confuse the user. I think if there were several differences in the ways that tasks are done for a new program, people might get confused and furthermore feel un-interested in using the new software, and just feel more comfortable using something they already know how to use. On the other hand, if the new software does tasks as the old software, plus with additional new features, then I think a user would feel more comfortable using the new software, at least knowing they can still do the old tasks in the same way, and learn new tasks along the way.\nLewis & Rieman design cycle employs a very user-centric model, and I was left wondering about the trade-offs, if any, in engineering speed. The user along with his desires, expectations, etc. is constantly taken into account every step of the way. Even before the mock-up is complete, the user plays a large large in dictating the direction of the project. Would it be more efficient to build a rough prototype from the data gathered in 1.1, and then bring the user in 1.7? How many users will know exactly what they want? --- Regarding Kelley's article, I feel that the best ideas come to people quite randomly - not when they're actually trying to think of them. I'm a bit skeptical of the usefulness of brainstorming sessions. Perhaps, it's because I've never followed all the guidelines he mentions in his article, and consequently haven't had a fruitful brainstorming session.\n1. The Lewis and Rieman design cycle is very similar to the three-stage design cycle presented in class. While the Lewis and Rieman cycle breaks up each stage into multiple parts, the two cycles both present the same fundamental requirements to come up with a good user interface. In particular, this requires careful planning and design with the user in mind, the creation of a prototype, and testing with real users to refine the design.\n2. Yes, I agree that any new user design should include elements that users expect. Even though new user designs will often want to come up with innovative user experiences, presenting a completely new interface with no familiar functions will make users feel alienated. Since for the most part people do not enjoy being put into completely unfamiliar territory, providing at least a few small familiar functions will put them at ease and make them more receptive to learning unfamiliar functions.\nRichard Heng - 1/25/2010 0:05:42\nI completely agree from Kelley's brainstorming passage that a session should be silly. In my experienced, the more relaxed the situation, the more people open up. This leads to an increase in contributions, and ultimately the best ideas. The bonus of having fun makes it even more worthwhile. I was wondering how often brainstorming sessions would be applied to the task centered design model though. Brainstorming tasks would be helpful, but I believe using this approach to designing mocks ups might be valuable also.\nYu Li - 1/25/2010 0:09:43\nLewis and Rieman's design cycle includes the three stage (design, prototype, and evaluation) cycle we discussed in class, but it also includes some other useful parts such as: plagiarize and tracking the design. Instead of simply doing a three part interface design cycle, Lewis and Rieman's method focuses on choosing specific user tasks that the system should be able to accomplish. I think this is a very interesting and efficient way to design a system, because it addresses the problem and designs a system that solves the specific problem at hand. Instead of spending lots of time figuring other features, Lewis and Rieman's design cycle is very goal oriented.\nDarren Kwong - 1/25/2010 0:13:09\nThe Lewis and Rieman cycle is essentially the same as the one described in class, but the details appear to be guidelines rather than hard rules. I believe the decision to include expected generic features depends on the goal of the system. As Lewis and Rieman mentioned, features should generally be left out if they do not support any of the system's tasks. If the feature is \"expected\" but does not support any of the user's tasks, then costs should be considered first.\nKyle Conroy - 1/25/2010 0:19:59\nLewis and Rieman's suggestion to include general features users expect even when such features are unnecessary could steal attention from developers and lead to feature creep in a product. Instead, developers should focus efforts on streamlining the core representative tasks and choosing a small number of features to do extremely well. The first-generation iPhone is a perfect example of this methodology. It lacked many basic features (MMS, copy and paste) of cell phones at the time, but made up for it by providing a superior mobile web experience over any platform on the market. Only later did Apple choose to add those general features back into the iPhone platform.\nDaniel Nguyen - 1/25/2010 0:26:24\nBetween the Lewis/Rieman design cycle and the design cycle presented in class, there are several common themes, including the emphasis of the design process as an iterative cycle as opposed to a linear process, as well as the importance of large amounts of interaction with the potential users during the design process. However, I think another important concept that the reading presents (that I do not remember being brought up in class) is continued feedback from users after a finished product is released. I feel this is just as important as evaluation of the product during the design cycle in order to ensure that a product that is relevant when released stays relevant overtime.\nMikhail Shashkov - 1/25/2010 0:59:20\nI thought the brainstorming article was an interesting choice for a homework assignment; I definitely appreciated the fact that it defending \"true\" brainstorming and clarified its meaning.\nJust as the brainstorming article mentioned that most people brush aside brainstorming, I'm certain people do the same with some of the task-centered design process. It seems to intuitive and logical when you read it that you almost don't pay attention; but I bet most people don't apply the formula laid out when dealing with real projects. They probably let emotions cloud their design process. For example, I've wasting many many hours trying to fix bugs in code that I should have just re-written from scratch.\nAnyway, good opener articles.\nWilson Chau - 1/25/2010 1:32:48\nThe Lewis & Rieman design cycle is very similar to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class, they both follow the same order of designing first, then building prototypes and then evaluating it on users and then making it better.\nI think that it should always be true because even though they dont play an important role in the functionality having generic features makes it so that users feel more comfortable with the system, since they've seen some of it before.\nConor McLaughlin - 1/25/2010 2:34:30\nIn reference to question 2, I can definitely understand the idea of leaving certain features in so as to foster a more comfortable and familiar environment for new or returning users. By leaving in such features, the transition to a newer version or product is more seamless, what with the user feeling as if they have more of a grounding; however, I disagree about the necessity of leaving in all such features. If a designer is careful about removing only a certain number of features at a slower progression, the slight confusion a user may feel at the removal of one or two well-known features would be out-weighed by the new utility offered by the software's ability to perform certain tasks (as the software was originally intended to address).\nAndrew Lee - 1/25/2010 6:06:26\nThe task-centered approach to user interface design does seem to correspond pretty well to the design-prototype-evaluate methodology laid out in class. In fact, there's pretty much a one-to-one correspondence between the three stages and subsets of the steps laid out in L&R.\nRegarding the inclusion of \"generic\" functions, I think that this is not an issue if the representative tasks are chosen carefully. I think that generic functions will arise naturally during the process of improving user-friendliness and usability of certain tasks. Using their own example of cut-and-paste, a task that could call for this function could be reorganizing folders. During the development of a user interface for this task, developers may find that a certain cut-and-paste functionality is desired, and once developers become aware of this, they can be enticed to extend the functionality to an overall cut-and-paste functionality.\nThe Lewis & Rieman design cycle is very similar to the three stage process described in class. However, the Lewis & Rieman design places much more emphasis on the design portion of the process. I am grouping the first three steps (figure out who\u2019s going to use the system, choose representative tasks, plagiarize) into the category of design. I feel like the three stage cycle from class has more emphasis on making many prototypes and continuing to refine them with each new cycle. The Lewis & Rieman cycle suggests more emphasis on the design phase with the result of cycling fewer times. Another distinguishing factor of the Lewis & Rieman design cycle is the tracking of the product after it has been finalized. Tracking the design is intended to see how the product does outside of testing which will benefit future projects. I think this is a very critical step which the three stage process lacks.\nI think that a system should always include generic features that users expect even when these features don\u2019t play an important role in the system\u2019s functionality. The key words in this statement are \u201cgeneric\u201d and \u201cexpect.\u201d If users are expecting certain functionality and it is not given to them then the system has failed even if it runs perfectly. Generic features can also be changed and still retain their generic functionality which means that there isn\u2019t a good reason to leave out an expected generic feature. Lewis and Rieman emphasize the users rather than the system which, I believe, is the correct way to go about designing a system.\nIn most cases, a system's UI should include generic features that meet users' expectations so that they are placed in a familiar environment, which allows them to rapidly learn and explore the system. Without such generic features, users' would be confused and even discouraged from using the system. However, rarely should things always be true in UI design. For instance, if generic features clutter up the UI and distract users' from the main features that are part of the representative tasks, then those generic features should be made less prominent, or entirely removed if they are discovered to be rarely used after testing.\n1) How does the Lewis & Rieman design cycle compare to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class?\nThe Lewis & Rieman and 3-stage design cycle both begin by analyzing the task and users, then specifying concrete use-case scenarios. However, at this point the Lewis & Rieman cycle takes the additional step of identifying and copying existing interface paradigms to ease users' transition into the new system from previous experiences. L&R also advocate spreading out the decision-making process by describing the design on paper and then reflecting on it, instead of premature rapid prototyping on computer. However, the remainder of the cycle (mockup, evaluation/user testing, and iteration) is similar in both methods, although L&R add the additional steps of final design implementation and post-deployment correction.\n2) Lewis and Rieman suggest that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Do you think this is always true?\nYes, I think that implementing standardized features (such as the example of cut and paste on the Macintosh platform) reassures new users with familiar functionality. Most users are smart enough to understand this system-wide functionality, and will not perceive it as bewildering extra complexity. In contrast, if this basic expected functionality is absent, then the few users that might actually need to use it will be very annoyed at the inconvenience. They could then come to perceive the application as flawed or deficient, which will adversely impact their willingness to learn or use the system.\nI don't agree with Lewis and Rieman that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Take the website Facebook for example. It originally had a very simple and intuitive design that many people got used to. But it constantly changes the look and layout of the website to something much different than before. Although people weren't used to it at first, almost everyone eventually became used to it again as the norm. So I think even if a system does not include generic features that users expect, they will still get used to it with time.\nSo, I am totally one of those people who have approached brainstorming in a rather limited way, since I have probably spent more time writing stuff down or criticizing my own ideas than just trying to throw fun and crazy things out there. The way Kelley explained brainstorming sessions definitely made them seem a lot less like work and more like a fun, enjoyable creative process, unlike the things I was introduced to back in grade school. So yeah, this new approach definitely sounds more interesting and will hopefully be more productive. Oh, and I am also grateful for that plagiarism section in L&R, since I've personally always been one of those people who feels like everything needs to be original, but borrowing a few functional, familiar features makes sense, because it not only makes things easier on the user, but the designer as well.\nLewis and Rieman's design cycle emphasizes the importance of testing the prototype with real users who perform \"representative tasks\" to \"make sure the system is complete,\" and this reflects the \"create scenarios of actual use\" step that was described in lecture. Moreover, the \"plagiarizing\" that they describe correspond to \"observing existing practices\" step that was covered in lecture. However, I wondered what should be done for functionalities that have no single dominant convention. For example, the Mac platform has windows with the control buttons on the upper left corner while in Windows, the controls are on the right corner; in other words, there are opposing \"existing practices.\" Lewis and Rieman also suggest that \"you should find existing interfaces that work for users and then build ideas from those interfaces into your systems as much as practically and legally possible,\" which made me wonder where exactly where the boundary lay between \"practically\" copying good interface design ideas and illegal plagiarizing.\nKevin Tham - 1/25/2010 13:37:22\nIn Lewis & Rieman's reading material, their design cycle is largely similar to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class though it's just that the L&R reading was more in depth. Both descriptions rely on observing current practices and \"plagiarizing\" from them, then come up with a prototype that fulfills our criteria, test, and iterate until all conditions are finally met. These processes are pretty straightforward. Lewis and Rieman suggest that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Do you think this is always true? Regardless if it's useful or not useful, it's good to follow standards. I think one of the most successful things would be how well a system integrates with other systems, and if an application usually has a \"file\" menu, then the system we are developing should also have one. I believe consistency is best. It also allows us to use these features in the event they do become needed without having to make a drastic change to the UI. E.g. Many people say that Mac OS X is very user friendly, all applications have a \"Mac look,\" regardless if that look is a useful feature of the UI.\nA couple things from the reading jumped out at me. First, and this may be nitpicky, the Kelley article emphasized the lack of note-taking in a \"brainstormer\" several times, but also noted that things did need to be written down, both so they can be remembered and revisited. I wish it had spent a paragraph or two spelling out a little more clearly how they balance these statements that are seemingly at odds. The other thing that caught my eye was in the \"Hypertopic\" section at the bottom of the Lewis and Rieman article, where they said of the team that is working on building the user interface that it need not necessarily contain someone who is specifically a UI analyst. Their idea that the team should be multi-disciplinary and have a \"shared commitment to interface quality\" makes sense, but it seems strange in a text about designing user interfaces to imply that UI design is more of a process than a skill. Perhaps I'm just misinterpreting. Oh, also - I haven't heard anyone reference HyperCard in a LONG time - pretty cool.\non Task-Centered Design:\nPlagiarize sec 1.3: Since the reading doesn't make it clear what constitutes legal or illegal plagiarizing, it would be helpful if we could learn some guidelines. For example, I've seen websites who closely copy original websites and brand them as their own (http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/01/11/suggestion-if-you-copy-digg-at-least-thank-them/). Would this be considered legal or illegal?\non brainstorming:\nA demonstration of a good brainstorm-session would complement this reading nicely.\nI don't think it's always true that a system should include every generic feature. The example in the reading uses cut and paste which seems like an unfair example because about every system uses this feature. If it's something the user expects, it should be considered whether it would help users or just get in the way (such as auto-complete can be in certain cases).\nI quickly wanted to note that Kelley's reading was rather interesting and presented ideas I haven't heard before (such as taping paper everywhere to write down for spatial memory). I wonder how people go about instituting this kind of creativity into their work force.\n1: Lewis & Rieman explains how after a rough design and creating mock-up/prototype we need to test the design, whether its a computerized design or mock-up/paper design, with users who are the target of our design. After testing the design with users we are most definitely going to have to change/edit some parts of our design. This is exactly what the three stage cycle described in the lecture points out. We need to design, create a model, and at the end evaluate. If errors found in the evaluation stage the we cycle/iterate through the same steps.\n2: This is true in most cases because users feel very comfortable when the interface looks familiar to them. In my opinion when placing generic functionalities in our design we encourage users to continue and learn more about the design/program. If everything looks brand new to users, who are not comfortable with new designs, then they might get discouraged to continue learning about the program designed.\nI thought the reading about the task centered design process described something very similar to the design process described in class, except that it seemed to emphasize taking features in already existing systems and incorporating it into your new design. I think this would hinder developments of new and innovative systems, as it would become easy to conclude that the current system works perfectly fine, and that there would be nothing, or not much, to improve upon. The process described in class however, seemed to emphasize incorporating new ideas much more. The second reading describes an interesting way to brainstorm that seems very effective in eliciting new ideas.\njonathanbeard - 1/25/2010 15:36:52\n\"How does the Lewis & Rieman design cycle compare to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class?\"\nThe basic three stage design cycle described in class is expanded upon by Lewis & Reiman. They describe how the design process must first identify its users and tasks. Further, they provide plagarism as smart approach to initial designing. Lewis & Rieman elaborate upon the simple \"design, prototype, evaluate\" cycle, proving that designing is not as simple as counting to 3.\n\"Lewis and Rieman suggest that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Do you think this is always true?\"\nIn most of the cases I can think of, a lack of generic features is more of a problem than the addition of an unused generic feature. When the iPod Touch and iPhone came out, I thought for sure that I would be able to use my Apple keyboard with them. Both devices have BlueTooth capabilities, my keyboard works with all other Apple computers, so why doesn't it work with my iPod Touch. Adding the ability to use an external keyboard isn't a key feature of the devices, but it wouldn't take anything away from them. Another feature users would expect out of the same devices is the ability to choose a background picture for their desktop, a feature available on every computer and phone except Apple iPod Touches and iPhones.\nThe article on brainstorming reminded me of a case study I read about a group at Proctor and Gamble whose only purpose was to think outside the box and create new product lines. There was a contrast between P&G, which was a very corporate environment, and their group which was more open and fun (like all those crazy startups nowadays).\nI liked the task-centered design process. I especially appreciate the concept of \"plagiarism.\" In software as in many areas in life, copying someone else's successful methods (and building from that) is the best way to do things.\nThe readings put in writing what everyone approaching design or a new project has thought of. They definitely give insight to the details that may be glossed over during the actual implementation. I am also taking CS169 concurrently and the task-first process definitely sounds more flexible and useful than the waterfall process model. As for the brainstorming article, the writer did exactly what he said was not productive; instead of following through with a \"show and tell\" approach, he wrote a rigid article detailing each step of brainstorming for future sessions. Brainstorming is proportional to the types of people involved in the session and can occur spontaneously. Just going through a couple of iterations will nail down the best brainstorming strategy for each distinct group.\nsean lyons - 1/25/2010 16:01:28\nWhile the Lewis & Rieman cycle more heavily emphasizes and spells out their iteration of the design phase, the two cycles are largely analogous. The stages discussed in class seem to favor prototype experimentation, whereas L&R favor spending more time in the design process. The rapid prototyping steps favor mockups, playing with the physical elements of the product, and building many successive UIs towards a Platonic ideal. This approach is not quite the opposite of K&R's \"measure twice, cut once\" sensibility, but the difference in ideology and appeal to different mindsets is clear.\nGeneric features are generic because they are ubiquitous, and can always be expected to exist. A piece of software's scope can be narrow or broad, but wherever it boundary ends, the point at which it returns to its native environment must be clean. A windowed application should always have the standard suite of buttons in their familiar locations, as a user can be expected to want to fullscreen, minimize or close a program in the defined, generic way. Apple-Q or alt-f4 should be expected to close an application immediately, absent a specific, good reason. Just as the functionality must be there, the standard way to apply that functionality must also be there, or be intuitive enough to excuse the exception, or else the functionality might as well not have been added at all.\n1. The Lewis and Rieman (L&R) design cycle and the 3 stage cycle discussed in class are similar in that they are both task driven and follow the idea of iteratively gathering information, creating a prototype and testing with users. The L&R cycle however, is more descriptive and explains beyond the iteration cycle into actual implementation and post-implementation steps. For example, Steps 1-5 from the L&R design cycle is what the 3 stage cycle calls \"Task Analysis and Contextual Inquiry\", but both include observing existing practices and interfaces, creating scenarios of actual use by counting keystrokes or mouse movements and walking through the tasks and creating rough designs. Step 1.6 from the L&R cycle corresponds to the \"Rapid Prototyping\" step when paper sketches and prototypes of the system are built. Also, Step 1.7 from the L&R cycle corresponds to the \"Evaluation\" step, where the users test the product and give feedback. Finally, all these steps are repeated until both the designers and users are satisfied with the results. At this point, the actual product will be produced by the company. However, under the L&R design cycle, there is a final step that advises the designing team to keep updating and upgrading the product to keep up with current demands.\n2. I agree that generic features that users expect should be added to a system, as long as they don't hinder the tasks the system is trying to accomplish. A solution may be to give the user an option to turn off an extra feature if it becomes a problem. For example, in Microsoft Word, there are features that automatically capitalize certain letters in a sentence or automatically fix spelling mistakes if it seems that the word typed is very close to what the computer thinks the word actually should be. As a beginner user to Microsoft Word, these features might be helpful to make sure text is typed properly, but otherwise, these features might be problems to the user rather than a help. Many times in the past I've had to decapitalize a word or change the spelling of a word to what I had originally written because it should have been what I had originally written. Going back to fix the computer's mistakes is a waste of the user's time and hinders the user from quickly and effectively creating a text document.\nOne thing stood out for me in the Task Centered Design Process article. At the end of section 1.3 there is a part about how between trying to create a new and more efficient process for a function and using what the user already knows (which means possibly doing more than might be necessary), one should design a function that integrates what the user already knows. I personally would want to help the user by creating new functionality that in the long run would benefit them. However, I guess it makes sense that users want what they are already comfortable with, even if it means adding a few more keystrokes. If only people were more open-minded to spending a few weeks to get used to something slightly different, their lives would be so much more efficient.\nSix Ways to Kill a Brainstormer contained some useful points on how not to stifle the creative process. In particular, the part about the boss/project leader not speaking first during a brainstorming session reminded me of many meetings where the group leader spoke first, and we consquently had a hard time coming up with good ideas. In the end, however, whoever is in charge needs to step in and enforce any deadlines or stop the idea creation process before it spins out of control. Otherwise, the team would endlessly produce ideas and no results.\nLewis and Rieman's design cycle is essentially a more in-depth and explicitly user-centric version of the design-prototype-evaluate cycle shown in lecture. The plagiarism bit is interesting; while it is good to follow convention, there are a lot of people who are completely unaware that a convention even exists. I do agree that it is vital that the designer maintains contact with the user- I've been witness to a case where the designer met with the user once, built the app, and went back a week later only to have the user say, \"This isn't what I wanted.\"\nI disagree with providing generic features, particularly when said features wouldn't fit in well with the application. The worst case would be a feature that looks like something in line with expected conventions, but does something different. Users would be confused and irritated by such a bait 'n' switch.\nJuan Cadena - 1/25/2010 17:11:29\nIn regards to the Task-Centered User Interface Design Process, I am wondering what an appropriate time frame would be for a complete application to be produced. I am curious about this since the needs of web/mobile users change so frequently that having to redesign an application well into the testing phase would be wasteful. Also, in the existence of a competing company/group, is it okay to speed up the process? Not necessarily skip phases but maybe shorten each phase?\n1. How does the Lewis & Rieman design cycle compare to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class?\nThe Lewis & Rieman design cycle includes this basic 3-stage cycle (design a product, build a prototype and test it on users, then iterate while making improvements based on the feedback). It does, however, expand a lot more on initial steps (how one should develop an idea and how one should go about constructing the preliminary designs), and on final steps (how to maintain follow-up on the product and keep users satisfied, etc.)\n2. Lewis and Rieman suggest that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Do you think this is always true?\nYes and no. Features that aren't critically important but are still expected and likely to be used should be included (such as copy and paste), but features that are generic but really have nothing to do with the application (like having print in a file browser) should obviously not be included.\nMila Schultz - 1/25/2010 17:20:39\nThe IDEO article on brainstormers advocated for a specific brainstorming structure despite emphasizing unstructured mental creativity, which was interesting to me. It seemed that he distinguished between brainstormers and meetings, almost in a polarizing way; I would like to read about other types of meetings that encourage creativity in different ways from a brainstormer. The task-centered design process article seemed to come from the perspective of software design, but obviously the methods can be extended to any sort of system design that involves users. Understanding that the chapter was meant to outline a trusted design process that can work for a set task and/or team, I do wonder if designers should be more encouraged to push the boundaries of current interface paradigms rather than end up in a local maximum, which seems possible from following the steps in the chapter (though it is a good outline even if testing a wildly new idea).\nSwapnil Ralhan - 1/25/2010 17:21:44\nOn one hand L&R have a point, and generic features should be preserved in order to capture an existing market, and allow users to have a familiar feel with the interface. On the other hand, an intuitive enough interface can enable designers to get rid of deprecated features(which may often add clutter, making the interface less user friendly). For example the iPhone does not have many of the features of traditional mobile phone interfaces, both in terms of numeric keypads, as well as the OS interface. Its intuitiveness enables iPhone to capture a significant market share.\nThere is definitely a strong connection between brainstorming and the task-centered design process. At many of the design steps, you will need to brainstorm. Not only just to get ideas and make decisions, but the brainstorming article also talks about creating rough models, which is part of the design process. Also, the brainstorming talks about bringing in competitive products, which is related to the \"plagarize\" step. Combining both articles will make for excellent designs. I have also learned about similar processes in CS169, the software engineering class.\nLewis and Rieman\u2019s design cycle is more comprehensive than the three stage cycle described in class. Lewis and Rieman suggest an eleven stage design cycle. According to the article, the authors suggest that the rough description of the design should be put on paper instead of be programmed into a computer. This stage, in my opinion, is very important, because the designers\u2019 imagination is usually limited as they make too many decisions too early in the whole process. And it also can save a lot of time. Another interesting point mentioned in this reading is that the user interface often occupies more than half of the code of commercial product. There is no denying that the design of the user interface is becoming more and more practical in this industry.\n* How does the Lewis & Rieman design cycle compare to the three stage (design, prototype, evaluate) cycle described in class?\nThe Lewis & Rieman design cycle is quite similar to the three stage cycle described in class. It fleshes out exactly what should be done during each of the stages, with specific tasks (plagiarize, creating a list of tasks) to be performed before moving on. It also stresses iteration as part of the evaluation stage discussed in class.\n* Lewis and Rieman suggest that a system should include generic features that users expect even when these features don't play an important role in the system's functionality. Do you think this is always true?\nI think this is always true, if the aim is to provide familiar surroundings for the user. Missing a generic feature can cause some confusion and frustration in users, especially those not savvy enough to completely learn a new system. Generic features, such as the copy/paste that the article mentioned, provide a consistent change of environment for the user to adapt to.\nCalvin Lin - Jan 21, 2010 05:20:05 pm\nI think we are supposed to use the Google spreadsheet form for submitting our reading responses.\nBjoern Hartmann - Jan 22, 2010 05:24:28 am\nCalvin is correct - please use the \"Submit Response\" link which directs you to a Google form.

        "raw_content": "Built in 1931, this building was occupied by Frank W. and Elizabeth P. Audsley by 1938. Mr. Audsley was a salesperson for North Coast Chemical and Soap Works. Carysfort F. Lloyd-Young purchased the building in August of 1939 and remained through 1961. In 1945, a garage was added. Peter Ivanovich purchased the building in October of 1962 for $19,400 and remained through 1965. By 1968, Loring Thomas lived in the building. Beacon Hill is a long north-south tending ridge located southeast of downtown Seattle and stands 350 feet at its highest point. The hill\u2019s steep topography deterred substantial Euro-American settlement through the early 1880s. Then, development of the area was stimulated by the introduction of streetcar lines in the 1890s, its proximity to Seattle\u2019s main industrial area to the west, and the regrading of the hill\u2019s north end in the early 1900s. Originally acquired by the City in 1898, Jefferson Park was integrated into Seattle\u2019s Olmsted system of parks, and the Olmsted Brothers prepared a plan for the park in 1912. The first public golf course west of the Mississippi opened at Jefferson Park in 1915. Jefferson Park has exerted a profound positive influence on the development of the Beacon Hill neighborhood. Because of its proximity to the International District, Japanese and Chinese families moved to Beacon Hill starting in the 1920s. World War I and II stimulated a surge in housing development associated with wartime industry. The construction of Interstate 5 in the 1960s and Interstate 90 in the 1980s sliced through the neighborhoods and contributed to Beacon Hill\u2019s relative isolation. Today, Beacon Hill is an ethnically diverse working class community, which has a mixed Asian, Chicano, African American, and Caucasian population.\nBuilt in 1931, this Tudor Revival style single-family dwelling stands on a rectangular lot. The building is oriented to Beacon Avenue South on a flat site at street level. This 1234 square foot, two-story house with a full basement features an L-shaped plan, measuring approximately 22\u2019 by 33\u2019, with a small front stoop. A poured concrete foundation supports the wood frame, brick and clapboard clad superstructure. Asphalt composition roofing covers the gable and gambrel roof and shed roof dormer. Minimal eave and gable overhangs with rake trim in the gable ends define the roofline. Multiple-pane windows provide day lighting. A direct flight of stairs leads to the front stoop. A brick chimney services the building.\nCladding(s): Brick, Wood - Clapboard, Brick - Common Bond Foundation(s): Concrete - Poured\nRoof Type(s): Gable, Gambrel Roof Material(s): Asphalt/Composition",

We look forward to a bright future for the country,\u201d Shaikh Mohammad added.\nShaikh Mohammad took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce that there would be no more discrimination among genders when it comes to wages.\n\u201cWith the force of the law and wisdom, there are no exceptions in providing equal opportunities between the sexes. Our Constitution includes the equal rights and duties of genders, and we seek to enhance, enforce and guarantee this constitutional right through the new law,\u201d Shaikh Mohammad said on his twitter account.\nIceland ranks first on the World Economic Forum\u2019s 2015 global gender gap index, followed by fellow Nordic nations Norway, Finland and Sweden.\nThe UAE aims to be among the world\u2019s top nations in women\u2019s empowerment and gender equality, officials and academicians said.\n\u201cWomen\u2019s empowerment and gender equality is a key target in the UAE\u2019s national strategy, aimed to be achieved by 2021,\u201d Sarah Al Amiri, Minister of State for Advanced Sciences, told Gulf News.\n\u201cIt\u2019s about time that the UAE, which is at the forefront of women\u2019s empowerment, enshrines equal pay for women and men in law. We have been getting equal pay and it is the right time to have this enshrined in the UAE laws,\u201d Al Amiri said.\nThe minister said the UAE has achieved tremendous gains for women and encouraged women to break boundaries.\nWomen represent more than 65 per cent of the Emirati workforce in the federal government\nAzza Sulaiman Bin Sulaiman, a member of the Federal National Council from Dubai, said the UAE is a model for women\u2019s empowerment regionally and internationally.\nIn 2015, the UAE Council for Gender Balance was established to position the country among the leading countries in the world in terms of gender balance.\nBin Sulaiman said the visionary leadership that fully supports women believes that for a society to be productive, it has to make use of the talents and capabilities of both men and women.\nShe added despite the UAE being a young country, it has seen huge positive changes sweeping over its society since its beginning. \u201cI am honoured to be a member of the UAE\u2019s parliament led by a woman speaker and today our beloved country is ranked second in the world to have an equal gender pay law.\n\u201cThe UAE\u2019s record in women empowerment and gender equality is quite striking and that the country offers a positive home-grown model for women\u2019s development and empowerment for the entire world,\u201d Bin Sulaiman said.\nDr Mona Al Bahar, professor at the UAE University, said how women\u2019s development and gender equality are only one of the UAE\u2019s progressive policies which emphasise harmony and tolerance, making the UAE a place of hope and opportunity for the rest of the region.\n\u201cThe new equal gender pay law is yet another achievement. Although rights of both men and women are equal, this legislation provides a legal framework to guarantee and protect these rights,\u201d Al Bahar said.\nWomen representation in the Federal National Council stands at more than 22 per cent.\nThe UAE ranked first in the 2015 World Economic Forum report on the literacy rate indicator and on women\u2019s enrolment in secondary education index.\nThe UAE ranks first among 132 countries in the \u2018women treated with respect\u2019 indicator in the Social Progress Index 2015 report.\nThe number of Emirati women in the diplomatic and consular corps at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation\u2019s headquarters is 175.

        "title": "General Guidelines For Choosing a Pair of Work Boots | Making U Aware",
        "raw_content": "General Guidelines For Choosing a Pair of Work Boots\nThe keys to choosing the proper foot covering are comfort, quality, and durability. Just like with tennis shoes, dress shoes, or sandals, it\u2019s important to try on several styles and pairs of work boots before making your final decision. Most work boots run true to size, but comfort levels will vary from brand to brand. One thing to remember: if you are looking for an insulated boot, you may need to consider a boot that is one-half size larger than you would normally wear. That little bit of extra room will allow for a heavier pair of socks to be worn to keep your feet toasty in cold weather conditions.\nHere are some general guidelines to consider when choosing your footware.\n1) Instep \u2013 it is critical that the instep be fitted properly. The boot relies on the instep to secure the boot to the foot, especially if the work boot you\u2019re trying on doesn\u2019t have laces. The instep fit should be snug, but not uncomfortably tight. Never settle for a loose fit \u2013 this could put you at risk for possible injury and blisters from the boot slipping on the foot.\n2) Heel \u2013 You will experience slight slippage in the heel of a new pair of boots until the sole of the work boot is flexed often enough to finally loosen up the stiffness of the sole. Once it is worn a few times, this slippage will disappear.\n3) Ball \u2013 The widest part of your foot is the ball, which is where the foot naturally bends when you run or walk. When you\u2019re choosing a pair of work boots, the ball of your foot should rest firmly on the ball of the boot. If your toes are shoved forward into the toe box of the boot, you know that the boot is too short and isn\u2019t a proper fit for you.\nThere are other considerations when you are choosing a pair for work. If you work in a hazardous environment, you should look for boots that feature safety toes and Electrical Hazard protection. Do you often have to wade into deep waters? Hip length Wellington style with safety toes might be the best choice for you. Some will extend all the way up to the knee, while others hit mid-calf or right at the ankle. Truly, your choice of work boots depends on the purpose for which you are using them and the style is dependent on the environment in which they\u2019ll be worn.\nYou\u2019ll also want to consider the quality of leather from which the boots are manufactured. Take a look at whether you prefer a lace-up style or a pull-on style. Other features, such as the type of insole and color might be important to you.\nSome people who wear High Tech work boots would include miners, loggers, lab technicians, athletes, fire fighters, hunters, ranchers, park rangers, lineman, light manufacturers, forestry personnel and people who work in the printing industry. No matter what you do for a living or for recreation, there is a work boot that will fit your need. The proper fit is different for each individual, so ultimately; the best fit will be one that only you can determine by trying on several different styles and brand names of work boots.",

Freshman Irisa Ye came off the bench to score 11. Laura Trisch led the team with six rebounds while Colleen Walsh dished out a career-high seven assists. Vitelli and Ye joined Thomas on the All-Tournament team.\nAlyanna Williams was the lone Jefferson player in double figures with a game-high 23 points. Jessica Kaminski added nine points. Beverly Kum led the Rams with eight rebounds. Williams and Kaminski were also named to the all-tournament team.\nThe two teams exchanged baskets for much of the first six minutes of the game with the lead changing hands twice. Tied at 5-5 with 3:52 left, the Rams produced a 9-4 flourish to close out the quarter and take a five-point lead 14-9 with Rachel Day\u2019s three-point bucket capping the run.\nThe Rams continued to increase their lead in the opening minutes of the second quarter, adding an 8-2 run via three pointers from Williams and Day and a basket from Caitlyn Cunningham to take a 22-11 lead with 6:40 left in the half.\nThe Devils regrouped and counter with a 14-3 flourish to rally and tie the game at 25-25 with 2:56 left. Seven points from Ye and two three-balls from Vitelli highlight the run. Vitelli\u2019s two free throws at 1:15 gave USciences their first lead since 3-2 in the first quarter at 29-27. Kaminski added a free throw in the waning seconds to make the score 29-28 at the half.\nThe Devils used an 11-1 spurt to open the third quarter and take a double-digit lead at 40-29, while their defense held Jefferson without a field goal for the first 4:01 of the period when a Cunningham jumper found the bottom of the net.\nTwo Williams\u2019 free throws would cut the Devils lead to five at 40-35. The Devils closed out the quarter with a 13-8 run to take a ten point lead 53-43 into the final period.\nThomas opened the fourth quarter with a three-point field goal to give the Devils their largest lead of the game at 56-43. USciences still led by ten 58-48 with 4:42 left in the game when the Rams started to rally.\nBaskets by Day and Williams made it a two possession game, 58-52 with 3:25 left and an Erin Maher jumper at the 1:55 mark pulled the Rams within four 58-54. This would be as closed as the Rams would come as the Devils were a perfect 6-6 from the free throw line in the final minute of play, sealing the 64-56 win.\nHartzell Named CACC Coach of the Year; Abbonizio CACC Player of the Year\nEarlier in the week, The CACC announced its post season awards with the Devils taking home two of the major accolades.\nHead Coach Jackie Hartzell was named Coach of the Year, earning the award for the second time (the first in 2014-15). In earning her second CACC Coach of the Year honor, Hartzell become just the second USciences coach in any sport since the school joined the CACC in 1999 to earn two CACC Coach of the Year awards.\nHartzell is also just the second women\u2019s basketball coach in CACC history to earn multiple Coach of the Year Awards, joining Mike McLaughlin of Holy Family.\nSenior Sarah Abbonizio was named the CACC Player of the Year, becoming the Devils\u2019 third women\u2019s basketball athlete to earn the honor joining two-time winner Leah Shumoski (2004, 2006) and Caitlin Shaw (2011).\nAlex Thomas earned First Team All-CACC honors for the second consecutive year, becoming the Devils first back-to-back First Team honoree since 2,000-point scorer Brianne Traub earned three straight first team honors (2013-15).\nChestnut Hill\u2019s Cassie Sebold was named the CACC Rookie of the Year. Sebold turned in a strong collegiate debut during the regular season, as she averaged 11.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game while starting just once during the season.\nSebold\u2019s teammates Jaeda Wildgoose and Vicky Tumasz also earned All-CACC honors with Wildgoose joining Abbonizio and Thomas on the first team and Tumasz earning second team honors.\nWilliams and Kaminski from Jefferson University also earned second team honors while teammate Day was a third team selection. Holy Family\u2019s Casey Thomas and Alexis Hofstaedter were also selected to the CACC All-Conference team as third team honorees.\nWooden Named PSAC EAST Coach of the Year; Four WCU Players on All-PSAC East Team\nKeeping with the awards theme over in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), West Chester University Head Coach Kiera Wooden was named the PSAC East Coach of the Year after guiding her team to 23-5 record and a 19-3 mark in PSAC games.\nWooden\u2019s team had a program record 18-game winning streak which was broken with a PSAC semi-final loss to Edinboro.\nThree Golden Rams were also named as All-PSAC East First Team honorees with senior Porscha Speller leading the way.\nSpeller led the Golden Rams in scoring throughout the season, averaging 16.1 points per game (#11 PSAC). Speller was also a first-team honoree last season.\nSeniors Mia Hopkins and Camden Boehner were also named to the All-PSAC first Team. Hopkins leads WCU in 11 different statistical categories including rebounds (241), rebounds/game (8.9) and double doubles (11).\nShe is also the only PSAC player to record a triple double this season with 22 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists against Cheyney University in February. Boehner is third on the team in scoring, averaging 13.7 points per game and has scored in double figures 19 times this season.\nLexi Bruno was named to the PSAC East Second Team. Bruno leads the Golden Rams in assists (109), assists/game (4.2) and assist/turnover ratio (2.35) with the latter the top mark in the PSAC.\nGolden Rams Fall in PSAC Semi-Finals; Earn at-Large Bid to NCAA Tournament\nBack to game action, the Golden Rams traveled to Indiana University of Pennsylvania\u2019s Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex for the PSAC Semi-Final game, taking on #11 Edinboro University on Saturday.\nEdinboro constructed an 18-point lead in the first quarter of the game and never looked back, as the Fighting Scots were able to build their advantage to as many as 31 points in the third before eventually taking the contest 106-78.\nWest Chester's 78 points were the fewest scored by the team since January 10 (77 vs. Cheyney) and Edinboro's 106 points on Saturday were the most the Golden Rams have allowed since surrendering 112 against Glenville State in last year's season-opener.\nDespite the loss the Golden Rams received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. They will be the #7 seed and will find themselves in a rematch of their semi-final playoff game, drawing #2 seed Glenville in the opening round of the Atlantic Region, hosted by Virginia Union University.\nHopkins paced the West Chester attack with 16 points, while Gabrielle Troisi notched her second double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds.\nSpeller added 14 points in the loss while Bruno handed out a team-high five assists to go along with 13 points.\nEdinboro scored the first nine points of the game and quickly pulled away, jumping out to a 28-10 lead after the first ten minutes of play.\nThe Fighting Scots ran their lead to 22with a 7-3 flourish to open the second quarter, taking a 37-15 lead with just under seven minutes left.\nEdinboro grew the lead to as many as 29 points before settling in for the 60-34 lead at the break.\nThe Fighting Scots maintained their 20+ point lead for much of the final two quarters. Hopkins drilled a three-ball to cut the deficit to 82-64 with 6:23 left and after a basket by the Fighting Scots to bring the lead back to 20, Bruno\u2019s two free throws at the 5:47 mark again made it an 18-point game, 84-66.\nEdinboro however closed out the game on a 15-5 run to pull away with the 28-point win.\nLincoln Turns in another Impressive CIAA Tourney Run; Stuns Defending Champs before Falling In Semi-Finals\nOver in the CIAA, the Lincoln University Lions made an impressive run for the second season in a row, again reaching the conference semi-finals before bowing to eventual champion Virginia Union University, 73-50 on Friday.\nThe Lions finish their season with an 18-11 record, a nine-win improvement over the 2016-17 season in what is one of the strongest leagues in the eastern half of the United States, which saw five CIAA teams ranked in the D2SIDA Atlantic region polls for much of the season.\nAgainst Virginia Union, the Lions came out flat and were held to a season low 12 first half points as the Panthers opened a 38-12 lead at the half.\nIn the third quarter, VUU went ahead 38-14 and held at least a 20-point lead throughout, until Lincoln cut it to 55-40 at the 6:21 mark of the fourth quarter.\nFrom there, Virginia Union regrouped and pushed the lead to their largest of the game, 27 points (71-44) with just 1:30 remaining, eventually taking the 73-50 win.\nTeira Pendleton led the way for Lincoln with 15 points, while Michelle Fitzgerald added 10. Pendleton concludes her career as the only player in Lions history to record 1,000 or more points (1,135), 500 or more rebounds (507) and 150 or more assists (165).\nTo get to the semi-finals though, the Lions had to defeat defending CIAA Champions Johnson C. Smith University the day before 58-52.\nShecquan Bailey scored a career-high 22 points while McKenzie Spencer chipped in ten. Bailey, Pendleton, Shahra Madison and Amanda Okodugha had seven rebounds apiece to lead Lincoln.\nThe game saw nine ties and 12 lead changes as both teams battled throughout the 40 minutes of action.\nMadison added the opening basket for Lincoln within the opening minutes to jump to a quick 2-0 lead. JCSU\u2019s Kendall Adams answered with adding a layup to tie the score two all with 7:59 left in the opening quarter.\nThe Lions then added a layup to take a 4-2 advantage. JCSU's Xena Dove secured a three-pointer to take a 5-4 edge. Lincoln then added back-to-back baskets collecting an 8-5 lead with 5:43 left on the clock.\nJasmine Carter added two free throws cutting the lead by one. A three-pointer by Bailey grew LU's lead to 11-7. The Golden Bulls rallied to retake the lead but Pendleton's bucket at the buzzer put Lincoln back on top as the quarter ended, 15-14.\nSpencer's three-pointer to open Lincoln's scoring in the second quarter broke a 15-15 tie. Fitzgerald later added a layup to push the Lions lead to four 20-16.\nThe Lions lead would oscillate between one and three points before Jamia Johnson sank two free throws to give the Golden Bulls a 24-23 lead.\nAnother three-ball from Spencer put the Lions back on top 26-24. The Golden Bulls would then score four of the final five points to take a 28-27 lead at halftime.\nOkodugha opened the third quarter with two straight layups to give the Lions a 31-28 lead before Jordan tied the game with a three-ball at the 6:50 mark, 31-31. Jordan then scored two straight baskets to complete a 6-0 Golden Bull run and give the defending champions a 35-31 lead.\nThe Lions countered with a 10-2 run to go back up by four 41-37. JCSU scored the final four points of the quarter to send the game into the fourth quarter deadlocked at 41-41.\nNeither team could find the bottom of the net as the fourth quarter commenced with Madison's free throw with 7:17 left marking the first points by either team.\nMalia Rivers put the Golden Bulls back on top with a layup and Bailey followed with a three-ball as the lead switched hands again.\nThe game saw its last tie at the 5:30 mark of the fourth quarter with a layup by Adams making the score 47-all. Bailey then ignited an 11-5 run with a three-pointer at the 2:15 mark to close out the contest with a 58-52 final score.\nAt Monday\u2019s CIAA Tipoff Banquet, Fitzgerald was named to the All-CIAA team. She is second on the team in scoring (12.4) and leads the team in rebounding (7.9/game).",

        "raw_content": "TOPICS:author interviewTish Boyd\nTish Boy is an author from the Bronx. She wrote her first series of short stories as a school project at the age of nine, and realized she had a passion for it. Her craft was honed in an unlikely place, the New York State Department of Corrections where she was housed for 16 years.\nMy novel Heads or Tails? Geminis Don\u2019t Choose is the story of Anexus-Jade Pearson, an attractive, charismatic Gemini who enjoys the pleasures of an almost idyllic life consisting of a devoted lover of three years named Smiley; good friends, a loving family and a good job. But sometimes all isn\u2019t enough. A chance business meeting sparked the flame that provoked the never satisfied, self-centered, conniving being that resides at her core, which belies her loving nature. A clear portrait of the battles within Anexus- Jade\u2019s mind is painted. As the plot unfolds readers will either love or hate the Gemini vixen. In this novel it\u2019s her will, her way, and she doesn\u2019t care who likes it. There is no middle ground as Anexus-Jade turns sex, and manipulation into an art form.\nI hope after reading my book people become more open minded when it comes to erotic fiction. Although Heads or Tails? Geminis Don\u2019t Choose has high sexual content, the underlining theme weaved into the novel is about supportive friendships and family.\nI read everything from canonical works, historical, urban, autobiographical to horror books. However, there is a book that I read years ago that did not have an ending called In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O\u2019Brien. It is one of the most disturbing and memorable books I have ever read, and he cleverly left his readers hanging at the end, a style that I have seen unsuccessfully imitated for the most part.\nWhen I am not writing I like to spend time with my nephew, research social media strategies, study real estate, exercise and listen to music. Music happens to be my first love. A CD will be accompanying the next novel I plan to release entitled, The Coming of Age: A Different Type of Love Story.\nYou can learn more about me via my website http://www.therealtish.com/; Twitter @allabouttish, Facebook; Tish the Author on Youtube; tishtheauthor.tumblr.com.\nAll my novels have classic themes, with unpredictable outcomes: The Coming of Age A Different Type of Love Story is about love found in an unlikely place; Virgos\u2019 Vengeance, the sequel to Heads or Tails? Geminis Don\u2019t\u2019 Choose, is about the bitter sweet act of vengeance. And the novel that took me four years to write, I Once Was a Little Girl I Just Forgot When contains the classic good girl meets bad boy story line. I have contributed to publications for the Center for Law and Justice Inc., and Al Sharpton\u2019s National Action Network\u2019s newsletter.\nInterview: T.K.

        "raw_content": "June 13, 2015 Leave a Comment Written by M. Acin\n1. Introduction: Need for meshless methods?\nThe typical Finite Element Method has been used with success in the industry as well as research for many years. However, there are certain situations where the mesh-based approach is not optimal. For example, simulations where the model undertakes large deformations are hard to deal with a mesh-based approach as the mesh becomes severely distorted leading to high inaccuracies and most likely termination of the simulation. One strategy to overcome this problem is remeshing, which means that the mesh is to be recreated during the simulation. However this approach is costly, often difficult to implement in 3D, and prone to errors as the simulation progresses.\nOvercoming of the typical FE discretization disadvantages naturally led to the idea of mesh free methods where the domain is no longer to discretized using elements, but instead a set of data points \u2013 \u201cnodes\u201d \u2013 are used. Meshless methods are useful for a diversity of applications, but usually come with an increase in computational time required to run the simulations.\nLiu [1] addressed the needs for mesh free methods, which include the handling of large deformations problems, the avoiding of stability issues, the representation of continuous variable fields and fluid representation and its interaction with structures. Some of these methods are the Element Free Galerkin (EFG), Finite Point Method, Point interpolation method, Boundary node method, SPH, etcetera. Due to the particle-like representation, these methods are usually Lagrangian as the material moves along with the nodes.\nThis article puts its focus on the SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) as it is one of the most famous meshless methods. The SPH method was originally developed in 1977 and has ben greatly developed ever since, and hence becoming one of the most used nowadays for a variety of purposes, including:\nFluid simulations,\nFluid-Structure interaction,\nMetal forming, etc.\nThe following gallery showcases some examples coupling SPH to shell elements in LS-DYNA (click on the gallery to see the animated results). The examples and input decks are available in the following link: http://www.dynaexamples.com/sph and belong to LSTC.\nImpact of an idealized bird (SPH) against a turbine blade (lagrangian shells).\nImpact of two equivalent bars against a shell structure. The left bar is discretized using Lagrangian solid elements, the right one is discretized using SPH method.\nImpact of a ball against an aluminium sieve.\n2. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)\nThe Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a numerical scheme used for solving partial differential equations; originally developed for simulation of astrophysical problems [2; 3]. It was later modified and extended to solid and fluid dynamics problems [4]. It is a meshless Lagrangian method which makes use of interpolation to compute smooth field variables.\nIn the Finite Element Analysis the domain is discretized into elements whereas with SPH the domain is divided into particles, which are assigned mass, position and velocity, avoiding the classical problems associated with the mesh grid such as mesh distortion for large deflection problems. However, the use of this scheme also implies some disadvantages as zero energy modes, lack of consistency and tensor instability and the modelling of boundary conditions [5].\nThe aim of the following sections is to provide a basic understanding of the SPH methodology and cover the basic formulation and parameters required to run this numerical scheme.\n2.1 Basic formulation\nFirst of all, a different formulation had to be derived for the SPH, rather than the one used for typical FEA.\n2.1.1 Kernel function\nIn order to interpolate field variables, instead of a grid and shape functions, a kernel interpolation is used. The value of a function f(x), at an x location, is represented by an integral form of the product of the function and a weighting factor known as the kernel function W(x-x^\u2019,h) [6].\nThe brackets \u2329 \u232a symbolize a kernel approximation, h is the so-called smoothing length parameter which defines the domain of the kernel by determining the area of influence of the smoothing function, x\u2019 is the new independent variable and \u2126 is the domain of the problem.\nA better understanding may be acknowledged by looking at the following figure where the kernel function is used to approximate a field variable of a particle i within a radius \u03bah, where \u03ba is a constant applied to the smoothing length.\nDomain and kernel function for a particle i [68].\nThe integral form of the gradient of the function can be calculated as the following expression:\nProperties of the kernel function\nThe kernel function satisfies some inherent properties and requirements [5]:\nNormalization condition:\nCompact support:\nThe kernel function is zero outside the kernel domainw which depends on the smoothing length \u03bah. These properties ensure that the kernel function behaves as a Dirac delta function when the smoothing length tends to zero [1]:\nDirac delta function behaviour: , and therefore,\nKernel approximation properties:\nExamples of Kernel functions\nVarious options exist to define the kernel function; the most famous ones are the Gaussian and the polynomial splines.\nGaussian function\nWhere the parameter r=(x-x^\u2019)/h is a parameter which makes de domain of the function non-dimensional and d is the number of dimension of the problem (1D, 2D, 3D). This kernel and its derivatives are smooth and stable even for a distorted particle distribution [7].\nWhere C is a scaling factor which assures the compliance with the kernel function properties and depends on the dimension of the problem (e.g. d=1 for 1D):\nThis spline is used for its narrower support. The B-spline is zero for ranges beyond the kernel domain whereas the Gaussian kernel tends to zero but it is not exactly equal to zero, increasing with the radius of support. However, due to the piecewise definition of the B-spline is less smooth and stable [7].\nAccording to the LS-DYNA theory manual [8] the kernel function implemented in their code is the B-spline. A comparison between these two kernel functions is presented in the following figure.\nKernel functions scaled over the non-dimensional domain r.\nThe integral form of the interpolation can be discretized as the summation of N discrete points:\nThe value of the filed function for a particle i is the addition of the contribution of its neighbouring particles j within the interpolation range \u03bah, commonly 2h. The term m_j/\u03c1_j is the volume associated to each particle j. It is important to notice that contrary to the shape functions in FE the value of the function at a node/particle i is not its nodal value, it is the contribution of a sum of particles within its neighbouring domain.\nThe gradient of the function may be written as:\nand r_ij is the distance between i-j particles.\n2.2 Implementation of conservation equations\nOnce the basic formulation has been covered it can be applied to obtain the conservation equations which govern the particle motion and its thermodynamic state.\nA detailed calculation of the derivation process was carried out by Prof. Vignjevic [5] through the use of the kernel previously properties and other mathematical theorems. The final discretized conservation equations are shown below.\nWhere \u03c3_j^\u03b1\u03b2 are the components \u03b1 and \u03b2 of the stress at a particle j. It is also worth to mention that acceleration vectors, such as gravity, may be summed to the total momentum. Artificial viscosity is also commonly used to improve the numerical stability of the scheme.\nNote that the momentum equation may be written in different forms depending on the approximation of choice. E.g In LS-DYNA [8] the following approximations are available: default formulation (0), renormalization approximation (1), symmetric formulation (2), symmetric renormalized approximation (3), tensor formulation (4), fluid particle approximation (5), or fluid particle with renormalization approximation (6). The renormalized approximation refers to a normalized kernel used in order to achieve 1st order consistency. The fluid approximation notorably used to represent fluid behaviour is shown as follows.\n2.3 Equation of state\nA thermodynamic relation between the state variables is needed in addition to the previous set of conservation equations. The EoS can be regarded as a constitutive equation linking the state variables such as temperature, pressure, volume or internal energy in a homogeneous material. It is used to describe the behaviour of fluids, solids and gases. Common relationships between pressure and two other state variables are defined in thermodynamics as:\nWhere the state variables and parameters are defined as:\nSome useful EoS introduced in LS-DYNA [8] and other FE packages are:\nLinear polynomial EoS Where C_i are user defined constants depending on the material.\nGruneisen EoS\nWhere, the new parameters are defined as follows. C is the speed of sound in the material, S_1,S_2 and S_3 are coefficients of the slope u_s \u2013 u_p, \u03b3_0 is a Gruneisen parameter and a is the first order volume correction to \u03b3_0.\nMurnaghan EoS\nIn its original form, it comes from relating a linear behaviour of the bulk modulus of a solid compressed to a finite strain with respect to the pressure:\nWhere K_0 is the bulk modulus and K_0\u2032 is its first derivative with respect to the pressure.\nTabulated EoS\nWhere e_V is the natural logarithm of the relative volume, C (Pa) is a constant and \u03b3 is the adiabatic index. Introducing up to 10 points, the pressure can be then tabulated and extrapolated if needed.\n2.4 Variable smoothing length\nThe smoothing length defines the interaction range between particles. If the smoothing length is set to remain constant the separation between them may become so large that the particles will no longer interact with each other; on the other side, the separation may be too small signficantly slowing down the simulation. In order to avoid this problem a variable smoothing length can be implemented in LS-DYNA [9]:\nWhere d is the dimension of the problem and div(v) is the divergence of the flow. Additionally, the smoothing length can be limited to vary within specific ranges depending on the initial smoothing length calculated at the beginning of the simulation [9]:\nWhere HMIN and HMAX are constants applied to the initial smoothing length (h_0) and CLSH is a constant. All these constants can typically be modified.\n2.5 Sort of neighbours\nThe neighbour search is one of the main tasks for every SPH time step. It may be a very CPU consuming task depending on the algorithm type selected [5]. Basically two options can be chosen in LS-DYNA:\nGlobal computation: every particle is mutually checked with the rest globally. This can lead to a very time-consuming algorithm and it is not recommended for large problems.\nBucket sort: A grid of size \u03bah is generated and each particle is assigned to one of the boxes, then the searching for each particle starts checking other particles within its own and neighbouring boxes as illustrated below.\nBucket sort based algorithm [7].\n2.6 Boundary conditions\nBoundary conditions need a special treatment in the SPH method. According to Campbell et al. [10] SPH approximations are not strict interpolants. Hence, the variables in the particle location are not equal to the particle variables and trying to impose a free edge boundary condition to the particles next to the outer surface of a component will lead to the non-satisfaction of the boundary condition (the inner particles will interact with the ones located at the edge). Several approaches have been developed and are summarized below [7]:\nBoundary force method: fixed particles are distributed along the boundaries introducing a force to the inner particles as a function of the distance to the boundary [57].\nGhost particles \u2013 Symmetry planes: a symmetry plane is created and the real particles are mirrored into ghost particles which have the same mass, pressure and velocity as the real ones. This effectively creates a symmetry condition.\nSymmetry plane boundary condition in SPH modelling [68].\nSemi-analytical approaches: there are many semi-analytical approaches covered in the literature. For example Prof. Manenti [7] describes the following where the boundary conditions are approximated through analytical integration terms. Solid boundaries are placed as fluid but unlike the ghost particle method these are an infinite number, producing a continuous boundary.\n2.7 Contact and FE coupling\nContact handling in SPH has been ignored and dealt over the years through the conservation equations implied by the SPH formulation. However, this leads to some penetration when SPH particles from different components interact [10]. A literature survey about this topic reveals some unique SPH contact handling algorithm such as [10] and [11]. The particle to particle contact is commonly used instead of the particle to surface contact due to the difficulties defining a 3D surface out of SPH particles.\nNevertheless, nodes-to-surface contacts have been widely used for SPH \u2013 FE coupling. The set of SPH nodes is defined as a slave while the FE master surface is defined as a master. A slave node is simply a nodal point, a SPH particle, whereas a surface is defined using the side of a finite element on the FE component global surface [12].\nThe most common approach to model contact is the penalty-based method, when a penetration occurs, node-to-node or node-to-surface, a force proportional to the penetration depth is applied to resist and eliminate penetration.\nExample: LS-DYNA solves the SPH-FE coupling with a nodes-to-surface penalty based contact, where each SPH slave node is checked for penetration against the master FE surface.\n2.8 Time step\nThere are many forms of SPH time stepping schemes, all of them explicit schemes such as leap-frog, predictor-corrector method and the low order Runge-Kutta. They have been employed efficiently throughout the years [6].\nAccording to the LS-DYNA theory manual [8], a first order scheme is implemented. The time step varies according to the following formula:\nWhere C_CFL is a constant and h_i, c_i, v_i are the smoothing length, the adiabatic speed of sound and velocity for a particle i.\nNote that when SPH and FE elements coexist for fluid-structure interaction problems, the time-step can be governed by the SPH rather than the FE. This is for example the case when rigid elements are used to describe the structure.\nSPH calculation cycle for each time step in LS-DYNA software [8].\n2.9 Limitations and shortcomings\nThe SPH method have its inherent limitations. A list and brief description of each one is covered below. Prof.Vignjevic [5] described them as follows:\n2.9.1 Consistency issues\nThe SPH continuous formulation shows to be inconsistent in its domain, 2h, due to the incompleteness of its kernel support. While in its discrete form, if the particles have an irregular distribution, it loses its 0th order consistency.\nDifferent SPH distribution types as illustrated in the LS-DYNA manual [8].\nThe grid must be as regular as possible and without large variations in order to avoid 0th order inconsistency, Mesh 1 above would be preferable to a non-uniform Mesh 2. 1st order consistency may be achieved by a kernel normalisation (CNSPH) leading to a different kernel and conservation equations approximation previously mentioned.\n2.9.2 Tensile instability\nSwegle et al. [13] provided a stability criterion for SPH equations, unstable growth occurs when this condition is reached: Where W^\u201d (x-x\u2019,h) is the second kernel derivative and \u03c3 is the stress (\u03c3>0 means tension and \u03c3<0 means compression). This instability arises due to numerical issues from the interaction of the kernel interpolation and constitutive equations changing the nature of the partial differential equations. This results in a clustering of SPH particles which often manifests itself as a tensile mode but it is not restricted to it [5].\nSwegle et al. stability regions for the cubic B-spline kernel.\n2.9.3 Zero energy modes\nSpurious modes, known as zero energy modes, are often found in the FEM and it is not a self-unique feature. They are also present in particle methods such as SPH. There are certain situations when non-physical nodal displacement patterns produce zero strain energy. The main cause being that the field variables and their derivatives are calculated at the particle locations, which for certain field combinations may lead to zero field gradients when interpolated, making these modes easily excitable. Some solutions and further explanation and literature are covered by Prof. Vignjevic [5].\nMesh-free methods were developed due to inherent problems of the mesh-based approach discretization. SPH can be used to model large deformations avoiding instabilities and extending the simulation time. On the other hand, SPH has limitations of its own such as significant simulation storage and elapsed time consumption. SPH also presents some formulation shortcomings.\nSPH adds a whole new set of variables to the simulation. And hence, a proper understanding of these variables is needed to be reckoned by the analyst.\nSome of the main SPH findings are:\nField functions are interpolated among the domain where the smoothing length plays a critical role.\nThere are different formulations according to the implementation of the momentum equation.\nBoundary conditions are treated differently rather than the usual FE boundary conditions.\nContact algorithms between FE-SPH are a key feature for fluid-structure interaction and may be modelled in different ways. A surface-to-nodes contact algorithm is widely used in this regard.\n[1] Liu, G. R.

        "raw_content": "As part of a review of alternatives for financing the future Light Rail Transit lines within the mass transit systems in the Tel Aviv metropolis, ADALYA conducted an international analysis of relevant trends and alternative financing solutions for infrastructure projects, with an emphasis on transportation projects.\nIn developed countries, it is common that revenues from passengers\u2019 rides cannot cover the direct operating costs of the mass transit projects. Therefore, the revenues from the project itself cannot finance the cost of its construction. This fact, together with the expenditure limit on the government's budget, requires finding alternative sources for financing transportation projects.\nThe 2008 global financial crisis caused a decrease in infrastructure investment along with an increased difficulty in raising long-term financing for infrastructure projects. Regulation of the banking system, reflected in the Basel III regulations, necessitated a search for complementary financing alternatives for the banking syndicate.\nThe review ADALYA conducted found three trends in the field of project financing:\nPrivate Finance 2 (PF2): modifications of the Private Public Partnership (PPP) model in the United Kingdom;\nValue Capture: funding through taxation of increased real estate values in areas impacted by the projects;\nProject Finance Bonds: issuing project bonds.\nPrivate Finance 2 (PF2)\nThe PF2 model developed from lessons learned in the United Kingdom from the traditional PPP model.\nThe principal difference between PF2 and the traditional model is the government's role. In the PF2 model, the government operates as a minority equity investor in the project. Since the public sector has better access to data and greater involvement in strategic decision- making, having the government become one of the investors should allow for better risk allocation and for an increase in public sector involvement in projects. Moreover, the public sector becomes one of the benefactors of the investment's return.\nThe PF2 model includes: standardization of the tender and contract structure; setting standard time limits for the tender process; minimization of the services included in the PPP tender; and reduction of the structural barriers between the government organ responsible for conducting the tender and the government organ responsible for managing the investment in the project.\nValue Capture (VC)\nValue Capture refers to a number of financing strategies which are based on \"capturing\" the economic value created by investing in transport projects.\nThere are four conventional mechanisms for implementing VC:\nOne-time Development Impact Fees;\nTIF: Tax Increment Financing;\nJoint Development through land allocation;\nIncome/Payroll Based Tax in the project's service area.\nThe applicability of the VC tool as a financing source varies according to the rate of change in the value of real estate. This change depends on an array of variables, including the quality and frequency of public transport services, the real estate market situation, the range of land uses in the vicinity of the public transport station and the level of incentives inherent in the transition from private to public transport.\nMost of the recent investment-intensive transport projects have been financed in varying degrees by the VC mechanism. Among these are the Crossrail in London (32%), the Grand Paris Express (80%) and more.\nThe main advantages of the VC model are:\nIt taxes the specific group benefiting from the project;\nIt has the potential to finance a significant share of the project;\nIt creates a cash flow which can be securitized.\nProject Bonds are long-term bonds for financing construction of public infrastructure projects. Project Bonds can either be targeted for a specific project or can be unspecific, tradable or allotted to institutional investors. They are usually accompanied by a credit rating. The source of repayment for the bond is the cash flow associated with the project.\nA prominent example of unspecific Project Bonds is the United States\u2019 federal Build America Bonds. Depending on the program, the issuer of Build America Bonds is local, either a state administration or a metropolitan or municipal authority, and the value is usually based on cash flow arising from Value Capture. The federal support is expressed by an exemption from the 35% capital gains tax on the coupon. The program recruited a total of $180 billion, and the United States Department of the Treasury estimates that the present value of savings to local administrations stands at about $20 billion.\nThe ADALYA analysis above has been presented to senior officials involved in establishing a mass transit system in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area and serves as a basis for a review of strategic alternatives for financing future transportation lines.",

In fact, companies today have embarked onto various marketing campaigns using this technology which is known for being fast, efficient and highly effective. On top of that, it is also known for being low cost and has a good return rate on investment.\nNeed for quick and effective marketing methods\nIn this context, mobile marketing has created a whole new segment for companies to work and compete in. This is attributed by the likes modern electronic devices like the Apple iPhone that has changed the environment of mobile marketing altogether.\nApple the game changer for businesses globally\nIn fact, when Apple first spoke about such a product, it was seen as a moon-shot but when it was actually materialized and released into the public, it prompted a global movement whereby customers began changing their devices. In fact, they even changed their way of computing altogether as the iPhone came with a whole new mobile phone experience and interaction.\nOn top of that, the Apple iPhone also changed the marketing environment as people are no longer only limited to the likes of common mobile phone applications like SMS but also include other means of applications which came with the revolutionary product.\nTargeting Entertainment Industry\nAnother new way of marketing too have been extended into the entertainment industry where companies have begun tying in the entertainment industry by offering offers and promotions in areas like:\nMovies \u2013 Via trailers, promotions, ticket booking\nMusic \u2013 Live streaming of music and digital purchase\nTheatre \u2013 Ticket bookings and community\nTravel \u2013 Airline and hotel bookings, travel reviews\nThe advent of such technology have provided companies in these segments to further extend their services to reach their customers via SMS, MMS and other means of mobile communication applications.\nReality TV and viewers engagement\nA very effective way of mobile marketing can be seen in the current trend of television programmes that are based on reality shows.\nFor instance, American Idol garnered millions of dollars in profits where apart from the product placement and endorsement on the show also required viewers to vote through SMS for their favourite performer of the specific edition which will determine the eventual winner of the show.\nReality Shows were the new trend\nThis has prompted many other reality shows to follow a similar trend while offering a whole new viewing experience to the mass audience.\nIn certain markets, there were also provisions for customers who do not wished to have their contact information given out to telemarketers and other service providers.\nBy opting for the \u2018Do Not Call\u2019 function, their numbers will not be disseminated to any other partners of the telecommunication company. However, this has often been overlooked by many other markets. On the other hand, some customers who opted to allow their numbers to be given out would receive perks and freebies if they respond to the campaign.\nMobile marketing has also been effectively extended onto the political arena. While some have called for SMS to be inducted as a legal voting option, this would still be years before it becomes secure enough to be implemented.\nSms and mobile marketing platform\nHowever, at the moment, voters are now able to use the SMS service to check their eligibility and places to go to cast their votes during the elections. They are also sent SMSes by political parties to gather information about their sentiments and opinions on pressing issues that need to be addressed.\nOn top of that, unofficial polling surveys too can be sent out to garner the initial sentiments of the voters.\nThe very strong point for mobile marketing is that it is able to facilitate 2 way communication among businesses and its customers.\nThis meant that the era of difficult direct marketing is now over because companies could now gauge the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns because they are able to gather information and feedback from its customers.\nThey are now able to send out questions and look for answers through its customers.\nMobile marketing also has made successful inroads into the sporting segment. Today, one is able to receive live scores through SMS which are faster and more convenient.\nThe fact that SMS could be sent quickly while many applications have been developed to automate such process have allowed for faster information being conveyed to the customers.\nOn this note, advertisers could also make use of these automatic services with a short advertisement every time the SMS is sent which would reach its target market more effectively.\nPreviousMainstream and Alternative media\nNextMajalah EH!",

        "raw_content": "Conservation >> Hong Kong Biodiversity Online >> HK Species\nFreshwater Fish of Hong Kong\nComposition of Freshwater Fish in Hong Kong\nMajor Freshwater Fish Habitats\nTips and Codes of Observing Freshwater Fish\nHong Kong is a small territory on the edge of the northern tropical zone. The local landscape is mostly dominated by steep hills and ravines, while the flat land is restricted to the low floodplains and coastal regions. In this hilly domain, there are hundreds of small rocky streams that flow through steep ravines. These hill streams are typically fast flowing at their upland sources, gradually reducing in speed as they run downhill towards the lowlands. However, unlike streams, Hong Kong 's rivers are very limited in number. Indeed, only a few long meandering rivers are found in the floodplains of the northern and northwestern New Territories \u2013 and they are much smaller than rivers in most places.\nHong Kong 's rivers and streams have quite a wide range of freshwater habitats that are suited to freshwater fishes, such as upland hill streams, lowland streams, estuaries and marshes. Freshwater fish inhabit most Hong Kong watercourses, from swift flowing hill streams to trickling lowland rivers and estuaries, as well as artificial habitats like reservoirs, fishponds and agricultural wetlands. There are 184 freshwater fish species here, mainly from the families named Cyprinidae, Gobiidae, Cobitidae and Cichlidae. Most of these freshwater fish families can be found in Country Parks and other protected areas.\nWhat are Freshwater Fish?\nIn general, the term 'freshwater fish' refers to species that occur in freshwater environments, either occasionally or permanently. They include the primary freshwater fish that are found in upland streams, lowland streams, estuaries and reservoirs; brackish species; marine vagrants; and diadromous species.\nPrimary Freshwater Fish\nPrimary freshwater fish are strictly confined to freshwater environments during their entire life cycle. 70 species belonging to 19 families found in Hong Kong are primary freshwater fish, representing 38% of the total species recorded. They mostly belong to the families of Cyprinidae, Balitoridae, Poeciliidae and Channidae. Common examples are Parazacco spilurus, Liniparhomaloptera disparis, Gambusia affinis and Channa maculata.\nParazacco spilurus\nBrackish Species\nBrackish species usually occur in estuaries, but visit freshwater environments for food and shelter by swimming upstream during low tide. About one quarter (41 species) of the freshwater fish recorded locally are brackish species, in which Gobiidae and Eleotridae are the dominant groups. Examples include Bathygobius fuscus and Eleotris oxycephala.\nMarine Vagrants\nMarine vagrants spawn, and spend most of their lives, in coastal or oceanic waters, but they occasionally venture into freshwater environments. A total of 60 marine vagrants have been recorded in Hong Kong, comprising around 33% of our freshwater fish species. Lutjanus argentimaculatus, Ambassis gymnocephalus, Terapon jarbua and Siganus canaliculatus are common examples of this group.\nDiadromous Species\nDiadromous fish (including anadromous, catadromous and amphidromous species) migrate between marine and freshwater environments in different stages of their lives. This group of fish comprises 7% of our freshwater fish species. Amphidromous species in Hong Kong includes Stiphodon atropurpureus and S. multisquamus. Anguilla japonica and A. marmorata are catadromous examples.\nMost of the freshwater fish in Hong Kong are distributed in upland streams, lowland streams, estuaries and reservoirs. Each type of freshwater habitats has its own ecological characteristics, and so each freshwater fish species has its own specific niche.\nUpland streams\nThere are numerous upland tributaries flowing through steep ravines in Hong Kong. They typically have riffles, cascades and occasional deep pools. Many of them are located within our Country Parks. Although fish diversity may not be rich in these upland streams, native species such as Liniparhomaloptera disparis, Pseudogastromyzon myersi, Schistura fasciolata and Rhinogobius duospilus are often found in great abundance. To secure a firm grip on the river bed, against the rapid water currents, some of these species have developed their pelvic fins into sucker discs to hold onto the stream bed.\n(disk-like pelvic fins)\nLowland Stream\nLowland streams in Hong Kong are usually less shaded by riparian vegetation. Water is often more turbid, as the streambed substrates gradually change from stone and gravel to silt and mud. Species commonly encountered are Parazacco spilurus, Puntius semifasciolatus, Rhinogobius giurinus, Clarias fuscus and Channa maculata.\nLin Ma Hang Stream is one of the lowland streams recognized as having high ecological value, primarily due to the very high diversity of primary freshwater fish. A total of 25 species has been recorded and 16 of them are native species which represent over 40 percent of the native primary freshwater fish in Hong Kong.This stream also supports a number of rare freshwater fish species, including Rasbora steineri, Metzia lineata and Mastacembelus armatus.\nRasbora steineri\nLin Ma Hang Stream\nEstuaries are influenced by both freshwater and seawater. Bottom substrates are mainly fine-grained materials. They provide unique habitats for brackish species and marine vagrants, such as gobies, gudgeons and snappers.\nTai Ho Stream is well known for its rich diversity of freshwater fish, with 68 species recorded. The instream and riparian habitat is excellent, and the stream and its extensive tributaries run from upland to the lowland estuary without fragmentation. It is the only known breeding site for the globally threatened Ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) in Hong Kong . Other uncommon freshwater fish species recorded include Giant Mottled Eel (Anguilla marmorata), Japanese Eel (A. japonica), Largesnout Goby (Awaous melanocephalus) and Rice-paddy Eel (Pisodonophis boro).\nLargesnout Goby\n(Awaous melanocephalus)\nTai Ho Stream\nReservoirs in Hong Kong are man-made water bodies, usually enclosed by dams in valleys or sea inlets \u2013 and fed by water from the surrounding hill streams and catchwaters, and also by water piped in from mainland China. They provide various types of aquatic habitat, ranging from shallow and bushy marginal zones, to deep and open water, which cater to the needs of various freshwater fish, including some rare species. For example, Kowloon Reception Reservoir harbours 29 species, including rare ones like Rhodeus ocellatus and Metzia formosae, while Hok Tau Reservoir supports the locally rare Mastacembelus armatus and Oryzias curvinotus.\nMetzia formosae\nHok Tau Reservoir\n(i) Acrossocheilus beijiangensis (Wu et Lin, 1977)\nAcrossocheilus beijiangensis belongs to the fish family Cyprinidae. It can be distinguished by the presence of five to six vertical bands on its yellowish body. It inhabits streams and rivers of sandy rocky substrata and swiftly flowing waters. A. beijiangensis is found in streams on Lantau Island and Hong Kong Island. As distribution is restricted, it is listed as a rare species.\n(ii) Macropodus hongkongensis (Freyhof & Herder, 2002)\nMacropodus hongkongensis (previously mistaken as M. concolor) is the first freshwater fish species named after the territory. The body colour is generally dark black to grayish. Body is elliptical and laterally compressed. Juveniles inhabit sluggish, swampy water bodies while adults are found in marshes and streams. M. hongkongensis is mainly recorded in the northeastern part of Hong Kong.\n(iii) Oryzias curvinotus (Nichols et Pope, 1927)\nOryzias curvinotus is a primary freshwater fish that belongs to the Adrianichthyidae family. It has a short dorsal fin located at the posterior half of the body, very close to the caudal fin. O. curvinotus is mostly found in rice fields, and thus has the common name 'rice fish' (Oryzias means rice in Latin). It is also found in pools, reservoirs and slow flowing streams. The local populations of O. curvinotus are recorded in streams in northeastern New Territories and Lantau as well as some reservoirs in the North District and Tuen Mun. Regional distribution covers the southeast regions of China .\n(iv) Pseudobagrus trilineatus (Zheng, 1979)\nPseudobagrus trilineatus is one of the Bagridae in Hong Kong. It is a nocturnal species that inhabits hill streams and ponds. It was firstly recorded at a marsh in Sai Kung in 1997, and recent surveys reveal that it is now widely distributed in nearby streams, marshes and catchments. P. trilineatus is considered a 'rare' species in Hong Kong. Regional distribution is restricted to tributaries of Dongjiang in Guangdong Province.\n(v) Rasbora steineri (Nichols et Pope, 1927)\nRasbora steineri is a primary freshwater fish occurring in hill streams and lower reaches of lowland streams. It was once thought to be extinct locally but was re-discovered in recent surveys carried out by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD). However, records were made only at two localities in the Northern District of Hong Kong. It is thus listed as a rare species. Regional distribution of R. steineri covers the Chinese provinces of Hainan and Guangdong.\n(vi) Rhodeus ocellatus (Kner, 1867)\nRhodeus ocellatus is mainly pale orange-red in colour with a bluish green line running from rear half of the body to the caudal peduncle. Female fishes are characterized by a black spot on the dorsal fin and a long, pink ovipositor behind the anal orifice during spawning season. Males have blue-green metallic cobalt tints between the back of the head and the base of its dorsal fin. This primary freshwater fish occurs in muddy-bed streams, rivers and reservoirs inhabited by the freshwater mussel Anodonta woodiana. The fish is widespread in Asian regions, including China, Korea and Japan , but distribution is highly restricted locally. It has only been known to occur at three localities in the New Territories. It is listed as an uncommon species.\nTo conserve freshwater fish, it is important to protect their existing habitats against water pollution and unnecessary destruction, especially the natural freshwater habitats with high conservation value. Efforts have been made to protect our freshwater habitats through enforcement of various ordinances, including the Water Works Ordinance (Cap. 102), Town Planning Ordinance (Cap. 131), Fisheries Protection Ordinance (Cap. 171), Country Park Ordinance (Cap. 208), Waste Disposal Ordinance (Cap. 354), Water Pollution Control Ordinance (Cap. 358) and Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap. 499).\nWe are also surveying and monitoring the distribution and key sites of species of conservation concern in Hong Kong. We have started breeding programmes for certain important species, such as Macropodus hongkongensis, Oryzias curvinotus and Rhodeus ocellatus. Captive-bred fish fries are transferred to suitable and safe recipient sites within Country Parks and monitored regularly, so as to safeguard their populations. Trial programmes have enjoyed success in several sites.\nIn the future, AFCD plans to identify more suitable sites within our Country Parks to carry out freshwater breeding programmes. These initiatives will improve and enhance the ecological value of these sites, and provide more habitats suited to freshwater fish and other aquatic wildlife.\nAvoid carrying out observations alone in the wild. Pay close attention to weather changes and cancel all activities in case of thunder or rainstorms.\nWear suitable clothes, such as long-sleeved shirts, waterproof shoes and hat. Apply insect repellent if necessary.\nDo bring along a freshwater fish field guide for identification.\nDo not enter deep pools or walk in swift flowing streams.\nDo not litter or pollute water bodies.\nDo not destroy in-stream habitats or disturb any aquatic wildlife.\nDo not use gill nets and fish traps in the water bodies.\nDo not use explosives, poisons or electro-fishing tools to catch fish. These activities are regulated under the Fisheries Protection Ordinance (Cap. 171).\nChong, D.H. and Dudgeon, D. (1992).

        "raw_content": "We thank the Lord upon every remembrance of you! What a blessing it was to spend the holidays with our children and grandchildren. It was the first time in many years that we were all together in one place.\nDebra and I have been working to evangelize the North side of Springfield. We\u2019ve been handing out newspapers, flyers, and invitations. Jeff is teaching the adult Sunday school class and preaching as the opportunity provides itself. Debra is busy working in the office. She helps with the receiving, documenting, and processing of over 200 checks per week. The ten mission works sponsored by Grace Baptist are the life blood of this ministry. The sun literally never sets on the work done by the men sent from this small church in Springfield, Missouri. Besides these ten sponsored missionaries, the church also provides monthly support to more than 25 like-minded missionaries all around the world. Even here, the laborers are few.\nThese reasons and more support our decision to stay here for now and do all that we can to help the Word of God prosper, and to spread the gospel where Jesus has not been named. We are more than grateful to the churches which have sent special offerings to help us get situated here. Please keep in mind that after 16 years on the foreign field, we have nothing of our own. No furniture, no beds, bedding, kitchen supplies, and so on. We must begin again entirely from scratch. We trust that the Lord will supply and is already supplying these needs.\nOur children and grandchildren are truly a blessing to us. Gina and her husband, Daniel and our oldest granddaughter, Lydia live in Kentucky. They are in the middle of moving, seeking the Lord for the place where he would have them serve. Gina has finished writing her second book with a spring release date. Donna and our other three grandchildren. Lilibeth, Eliana, and Elijah live here in Springfield, just minutes away, but we still do not get to see them as often as we would like. They are busy with work and school. Donna is doing some painting in the house that she rents \u2013 looks great. James started his last semester of college. It is hard to believe he is almost finished. He has been able to keep his 4.0 GPA and remains on the president\u2019s list. Graduation will be in May than the week afterwards James and Caitlyn will be married. Last but not least is David. He started his second semester of his freshman year. He made it to the dean\u2019s list with a 3.8 GPA. He works for the restaurant in the small hotel on campus. He is now an official driver with a car of his own. This car will not join him at school until this spring. We want him to focus on school than we will add the car and another job for extra money.",

Each blow he strikes in his own behalf helps to mold the universe.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nNeither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThe Poet binds together by passion and knowledge the vast empire of human society, as it is spread over the whole earth, and over all time.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nA poem records emotions and moods that lie beyond normal language, that can only be patched together and hinted at metaphorically.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nA conference is a gathering of people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThe creative person wants to be a know -it -all. He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth -century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThe human condition is such that pain and effort are not just symptoms which can be removed without changing life itself; they are the modes in which life itself, together with the necessity to which it is bound, makes itself felt. For mortals, the easy life of the gods would be a lifeless life.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nJust under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nOpera once was an important social instrument -- especially in Italy. With Rossini and Verdi people were listening to opera together and having the same catharsis with the same story, the same moral dilemmas. They were holding hands in the darkness. That has gone. Now perhaps they are holding hands watching television.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nAppraisals are where you get together with your team leader and agree what an outstanding member of the team you are, how much your contribution has been valued, what massive potential you have and, in recognition of all this, would you mind having your salary halved.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nWe delight in one knowable thing, which comprehends all that is knowable; in one apprehensible, which draws together all that can be apprehended; in a single being that includes all, above all in the one which is itself the all.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThe only thing that holds a marriage together is the husband being big enough to keep his mouth shut, to step back and see where his wife is wrong.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nLet one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced and moved themselves. If a person speaks with genuine earnestness the thoughts, the emotion and the actual condition of their own heart, others will listen because we all are knit together by the tie of sympathy.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nSometimes apparent resemblance of character will bring two men together and for a certain time unite them. But their mistake gradually becomes evident, and they are astonished to find themselves not only far apart, but even repelled, in some sort, at all their points of contact.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nLove is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world... Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nWe are one, after all, you and I. Together we suffer, together exist, and forever will recreate each other.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nPeople named John and Mary never divorce. For better or for worse, in madness and in saneness, they seem bound together for eternity by their rudimentary nomenclature. They may loathe and despise one another, quarrel, weep, and commit mayhem, but they are not free to divorce. Tom, Dick, and Harry can go to Reno on a whim, but nothing short of death can separate John and Mary.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThere is a sort of veteran woman of condition, who, having lived always in the grand monde, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him. Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nTea! Thou soft, thou sober, sage, and venerable liquid, thou innocent pretence for bringing the wicked of both sexes together in a morning; thou female tongue-running, smile-smoothing, heart-opening, wink-tipping cordial, to whose glorious insipidity I owe the happiest moment of my life, let me fall prostrate thus, and adore thee.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nMinds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nI cannot believe that this country cannot come together around some values what these kids need is a moral life... the issue is not ideas, it is conduct. The real question is how we reach these young people morally, and what do we bring to them.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nEach blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nMy passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nIn great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes; and for all the rest they are careless of neighbors. Christianity teaches us to love our neighbor as ourselves; modern society acknowledges no neighbor.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nIf men as individuals surrender to the call of their elementary instincts, avoiding pain and seeking satisfaction only for their own selves, the result for them all taken together must be a state of insecurity, of fear, and of promiscuous misery.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nScience is the century-old endeavor to bring together by means of systematic thought the perceptible phenomena of this world into as thorough-going an association as possible.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nPoetry is boned with ideas, nerved and blooded with emotions, all held together by the delicate, tough skin of words.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nAmongst the learned the lawyers claim first place, the most self-satisfied class of people, as they roll their rock of Sisyphus and string together six hundred laws in the same breath, no matter whether relevant or not, piling up opinion on opinion and gloss on gloss to make their profession seem the most difficult of all. Anything which causes trouble has special merit in their eyes.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nWe must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nHuman life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as right in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as brute force.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nIt is always possible to bind together a considerable number of people in love, so long as there are other people left over to receive the manifestations of their aggression.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nTwo such as you with such a master speed cannot be parted nor be swept away from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThis leads us to note down in our psychological chart of the mass-man of today two fundamental traits: the free expansion of his vital desires, and, therefore, of his personality; and his radical ingratitude towards all that has made possible the ease of his existence. These traits together make up the well-known psychology of the spoilt child.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nHow many hopes and fears, how many ardent wishes and anxious apprehensions are twisted together in the threads that connect the parent with the child!More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nArchitects, painters, and sculptors must recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite character of a building both as an entity and in its separate parts. Only then will their work be imbued with the architectonic spirit which it has lost as salon art. Together let us desire, conceive, and create the new structure of the future, which will embrace architecture and sculpture and painting in one unity and which will one day rise toward heaven from the hands of a million workers like the crystal symbol of a new faith.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nMind and spirit together make up that which separates us from the rest of the animal world, that which enables a man to know the truth and that which enables him to die for the truth.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nTwenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nMen heap together the mistakes of their lives, and create a monster they call Destiny.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThere would be no society if living together depended upon understanding each other.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nIn walking, the will and the muscles are so accustomed to working together and performing their task with so little expenditure of force that the intellect is left comparatively free.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThe greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, That is all there was! But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nThe sensual and spiritual are linked together by a mysterious bond, sensed by our emotions, though hidden from our eyes. To this double nature of the visible and invisible world -- to the profound longing for the latter, coupled with the feeling of the sweet necessity for the former, we owe all sound and logical systems of philosophy, truly based on the immutable principles of our nature, just as from the same source arise the most senseless enthusiasms.More [01/01/2000 12:01:00]\nWho ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs?

        "raw_content": "\"Liberia\" is a Latin name which means \"the Land of Freedom.\" The country was founded in the 1820's as a homeland for African-American slaves who had gained their freedom. In 1848 Liberia became an independent country with Jospeh Jenkins Roberts as the new nation's first president, thus making Liberia one of the very first African countries to achieve independence and freedom from outside colonial rulers. Ironically, of course, Liberia is currently a nation recovering from a civil war during which many of the freedoms alluded to in the name of the country were severely damaged.\nLiberia has just been through seven years of bitter civil warfare. Many businesses and public buildings were destroyed or heavily damaged, and things were so bad that many Liberians fled the country. As a result, Jefferson State has enrolled quite a few Liberians in recent years. These students have family names like Stubblefield, Thomas, and Williams and they speak a very easily understood dialect of English. After all, they are usually descendants of the freed American slaves who first settled in Liberia in the 1820's.\nThe Perspective.

It is the seventh-largestcountry by geographical area, the second-most populous country,\u2026 andthe most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the IndianOcean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the west, and the Bay ofBengal on the east, India has a coastline of 7,517 kilometres(4,700 mi).[16] It is bordered by Pakistan to the west;[17] China,Nepal, and Bhutan to the north; and Bangladesh and Myanmar to theeast. India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, and the Maldives inthe Indian Ocean. Home to the Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historictrade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent wasidentified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of itslong history.[18] Four major religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainismand Sikhism originated here, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism,Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium CE andshaped the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by theBritish East India Company from the early eighteenth century andcolonised by the United Kingdom from the mid-nineteenth century,India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle forindependence that was marked by widespread non-violentresistance.[19] India is a republic consisting of 28 states and seven unionterritories with a parliamentary system of democracy. It has theworld's twelfth largest economy at market exchange rates and thefourth largest in purchasing power. Economic reforms since 1991have transformed it into one of the fastest growing economies inthe world;[20] however, it still suffers from poverty,[21]illiteracy, disease, and malnutrition. A pluralistic, multilingual,and multiethnic society, India is also home to a diversity ofwildlife in a variety of protected habitats. The name India (pronounced /\u00cb\u0088\u00c9\u00aandi\u00c9\u0099/) is derived from Indus , which is derived from the Old Persian word Hindu , from Sanskrit \u00e0\u00a4\u00b8\u00e0\u00a4\u00bf\u00e0\u00a4\u00a8\u00e0\u00a5\u008d\u00e0\u00a4\u00a7\u00e0\u00a5\u0081 Sindhu , the historiclocal appellation for the Indus River.[22] The ancient Greeksreferred to the Indians as Indoi (\u00ce\u0099\u00ce\u00bd\u00ce\u00b4\u00ce\u00bf\u00ce\u00af), the people of theIndus.[23] The Constitution of India and common usage in variousIndian languages also recognise Bharat (pronounced[\u00cb\u0088b\u00ca\u00b1\u00c9\u0091\u00cb\u0090r\u00ca\u008ct\u00cc\u00aa] ( listen)) as an official name of equal status.[24] Thename Bharat is derived from the name of the legendary king Bharatain Hindu Mythology.

Any minister holding a portfolio mustbe a member of either house of parliament. In the Indianparliamentary system, the executive is subordinate to thelegislature, with the Prime Minister and his Council being directlyresponsible to the lower house of the Parliament.[51] The Legislature of India is the bicameral Parliament, whichconsists of the upper house called the Rajya Sabha (Council ofStates) and the lower house called the Lok Sabha (House ofPeople).[52] The Rajya Sabha, a permanent body, has 245 membersserving staggered six year terms.[53] Most are elected indirectlyby the state and territorial legislatures in proportion to thestate's population.[53] 543 of the Lok Sabha's 545 members aredirectly elected by popular vote to represent individualconstituencies for five year terms.[53] The other two members arenominated by the President from the Anglo-Indian community if thePresident is of the opinion that the community is not adequatelyrepresented.[53] India has a unitary three-tier judiciary, consisting of the SupremeCourt, headed by the Chief Justice of India, 21 High Courts, and alarge number of trial courts.[54] The Supreme Court has originaljurisdiction over cases involving fundamental rights and overdisputes between states and the Centre, and appellate jurisdictionover the High Courts.[55] It is judicially independent,[54] and hasthe power to declare the law and to strike down Union or State lawswhich contravene the Constitution.[56] The role as the ultimateinterpreter of the Constitution is one of the most importantfunctions of the Supreme Court.[57] India consists of 28 states and seven Union Territories.[58] Allstates, and the two union territories of Puducherry and theNational Capital Territory of Delhi, have elected legislatures andgovernments patterned on the Westminster model. The other fiveunion territories are directly ruled by the Centre throughappointed administrators. In 1956, under the States ReorganisationAct, states were formed on a linguistic basis.[59] Since then, thisstructure has remained largely unchanged.

        "raw_content": "Cover Rating: 5 stars (A perfect match for The Body Finder)\nSequel to The Body Finder\nEven though Violet just got Jay, already she feels like she's losing him\u2014as a friend and boyfriend\u2014to a new kid named Mike. A lot has been happening to Violet, but she feels that since her and Jay are more than friends now she can let him in as much as she used to. When Violet make what she thinks is an anonymous phone call to the police regarding an echo she found leading to storage container, she hopes that they will take car of it and she will no longer be drawn to it. What Violet doesn't count on is being found out. Somehow now she has drawn the attention of the FBI and they want her ability. Her secret has always been just that, a secret, and she doesn't know if she can, or wants to let someone else in. When she needs help of her own though, she might just agree to help someone else in return for a little assistance. Even if all her detective work leads to her and her friends ending up in harm's way.\nOnce again Kimberly Derting brings all her weapons to the table to craft a creepy and crazy story. This second novel wasn't quite as creepy as the first one, especially by way of the killer's voice that is interspersed through the novel. It was weird seeing Violet not able to talk to Jay, and having him be so super protective of her. It's great that they are together and maybe by the third book they'll have worked out some of their communication issues. I totally appreciate that Kimberly knows how to end a novel. Heck, she knows how to end a page. Everything was closed off at the end of the story, so that there could be more, but you don't have to wonder how the story will end until you can read the next novel. I guess this book could stand alone, but I think you would lose a little understanding if you had not previously read The Body Finder . Can I just say how glad I was not to find a love triangle between these pages. I would have felt completely betrayed if after everything Jay went through Violet was like, meh. Now that is not to say there aren't many acquaintances that are definitely of interest, maybe not in a love interest sort of way, but something is there. I really love all the characters in Violet's life they are very unique and alive, none more so than Chelsea. Chelsea is vibrant. She is almost more of a character then Violet, just because she is so boisterous and you can't help not noticing her. I liked all the twists and turns and intricacies of this story, it had the same flow as the first novel, but extra bumps along the way. Kimberly Derting is an entirely deft writer and story-teller and I eagerly look forward to another adventure with Jay and Violet as well as Kim's new story, The Pledge .\n\"Violet leaned forward on her hands and knees over the frozen landscape.\"\n\"The resonance of the harp eclipsed the noises around her, the waking city at her back, and the ocean in front of her. It was vaporously surreal. Ominous. It was like the sounds track from a horror film.\"",

        "title": "State of the Art | Arts Entrepreneurship, Getting It All Wrong",
        "raw_content": "Arts Entrepreneurship, Getting It All Wrong\nApril 2, 2014 by James Undercofler 10 Comments\nIt\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve published a post here. I\u2019ve been writing a book on teaching arts entrepreneurship, and finding that completing it is like a dog chasing his tail: just as I complete a section I come to understand the subject differently, so then need to revise. My solution is the creation of a website (under construction) that will allow content to be shared, commented on and then edited (as appropriate). Anyway, I had intended to stay quiet until the launch of this site, but I keep reading about schools of the arts adding programs in entrepreneurship, and in doing so describing these programs as providing students critical business skills. And yes, of course they need critical business skills, but the student deficit that I\u2019ve experienced over the past 15 years of teaching this subject is the ability to think creatively, to effectively imagine how they could create an entity, even if themselves, that can sustain itself in some fashion. #\nYes, there are exceptions, but by and large students in the arts have a very difficult time escaping from the shackles of their craft. To some extent I blame the curriculum of higher education in the arts, in that the coursework is pretty much all required, with few electives. But perhaps more to blame is the extant pedagogy, especially in the performing arts. Most especially, dance and music are taught by imprinting, i.e. copy me, do it as I do it. #\nThe pedagogy of arts entrepreneurship needs to focus on idea generation first, and thoroughly before teaching \u201cthose critical business skills\u201d that will sustain students beyond their college educations. #\n04/2/14 12:32 PM | filed under: main |\nOne of the first things an independently minded, creative student might discover is that their art will never be a successful commercial enterprise unless they fundamentally compromise their aesthetic ideals. They might discover that the concepts of entrepreneurship that have been popularized over the last 20 years are in reality a form of political indoctrination that defines all human endeavor in terms of the market. They might discover that this concept of art is excessively reductive.\nIt thus seems that the best students for entrepreneurship classes might be those who are bit less independent and creative, those whole values are a bit more opportunistic, those with a less committed artistic vision that allows them the detachment to formulate art around income instead of aesthetic beliefs.\nAnd among those more adaptable students, they might discover that even more commercially oriented visions of art still have such a narrow, transient, and small market that the faddish emphasis of entrepreneurship in art is misguided.\nAndrew Bales says:\nI have spend many years acting in an entrepreneurial fashion in guiding arts groups, primarily in dance and music. The primary skill that I apply is to listen. (Some who know me aren\u2019t certain that is evident, but over time that listening is proven by the design of what I have been able to evolve.) There is a need to find a marketplace and listen those those who will be your consumers. Then one must develop the straightest line between that aspirations of the art, and the desires of the public. The skill is separating yourself from the previously done and being direct in service to the consumer. The end product may look like many other groups but the internal workings may be quite different.\nWhile it is disappointing, few schools are turning out arts leaders with skill sets that achieve very much innovation. It is more of a nuts and bolts, get your hands dirty kind of profession. More can be learned from the mistakes, but the profession suffers from a governance problem that those who may have learned from errors, are often tossed aside before their hard learned lessons can be applied.\nEntrepreneurs in the private sector are routinely praised for the mistakes made en route to the grand wins, but the governance over site of the arts in America is more of a CYA by trustees who shy away from anyone whose record isn\u2019t spotless or too sparse to reveal any vulnerability. It is seen as better to hire the young hotshot and hope, than to hire the experienced grizzled pro, as any bruises might reflect on the governing body\u2019s judgement if they should reoccur. The young hotshot is seen as a calculated trial that may or may not succeed, but that choice is rarely reflected on the governing board, while any reoccurrence of vulnerability is always the headline. As a result governance works against improving the fields that they are asked to steward.\nJust a couple of cents to add to the topic\u2026\nCan you list some classical music groups that make enough profit that they can live from it? And can you tell us how many such groups there are? This might help us better see those straight lines between artistic aspiration and public desire.\nThere are always some unique outliers who capture the fancy of the market and soar out of the range of others but typically there is a gimmick in the mix. Three tenors comes to mind.\nIt is serving an identified need, not profitability that I use to gauge institutional success. Doing it in a way that counters common practise is a measure of thinking differently about the issues facing supply and demand for cultural programs. In the symphonic world earned revenues hover in the 32% range while our orchestra began earning 65%. It has shifted over time, but it is still in the 60% range for core programs. But when we started you could amend the 65% in direct earned revenue with another 25% that came via donations from those who attended, i.e. those who used the product. While I haven\u2019t run that number lately, we are not far enough off of that number to not see it is those who do attend who find ways to make this a sustainable venture.\nThe three tenors are definitely a commercial success story, stadiums and all, but of course, they were all famous before they formed their trio. They\u2019re not a good example for young musicians looking to form commercial enterprises. Groups that comes to mind as more realistic models are the the Kronos Quartet and the Canadian Brass.\nYounger musicians have tried to emulate these groups, like Il Divo who capitalized on the three tenors scheme, though with far less success. And there are any number of brass quintets that try to make as much money as they can, though usually with limited success. There a quite a few contemporary music groups that do everything they can to appeal, but they still can\u2019t live from what they do.\nFringe markets are too easily saturated, especially when the markets are dominated by highly centralized systems of marketing and distribution. There\u2019s usually room for one group at the top which squeezes all others out. The rest are left to local markets which can\u2019t support them \u2014 unless they add an accordion to the group and do polkas for weddings or some such thing. And even most of those attempts fail.\nI take it you work for the Silicon Valley Symphony. It replaced the bankrupt San Jose Symphony which was situated in one of the richest parts of the world. The San Jose Opera also collapsed. There are no market strategies that will make orchestras and opera companies profitable even among in the wealthy Silicon Valley. They can sometimes increase their incomes through more popular programming and various outreach strategies, but they will never be self-supporting, and artistic integrity is significantly challenged.\nSimilar circumstances also shape even chamber music, and there is little evidence to show otherwise. Groups with successful commercial enterprises are extremely rare. This is why the now popular philosophies of entrepreneurship are more ideological than realistic. In large part, they are an ineffective attempt to alleviate the problems caused by our dysfunctional, unique and isolated system of funding the arts by donations from the wealthy. The USA is the only developed country in the world without comprehensive systems of public arts funding. With ideological zeal we thus futilely turn to the market with what can\u2019t be marketed.\nYou were correct I work at Symphony Silicon Valley and it was started to alter the paradigm here following the end of the West\u2019s oldest symphony. Opera San Jose is very much still alive and making its first significant leadership transition which will test its model, but for now it very much here and with significant cash reserves.\nI agree three tenors was a facile answer and Kronos or maybe Chanticleer are better examples, but of course both of those are also public benefit entities that rely on donations in addition to earned income.\nI am not sure where you are going with your position on all this. One can work on the better mouse trap or abandon the building to the mice. You appear to feel incremental improvements are not evidence of an\nentrepreneurial approach, so be it, but the example of other countries being more inherently supportive through government support is a fading dream too as increasingly budget pressures are restricting those support mechanisms all over the world. In the end audiences are essential to a support mechanism for the arts and being responsive to, while still exploring, is the only path I find interesting enough to pursue.\nThe great dilemma is not that the arts have no inherent marketplace, but that the cost structure is fixed in a way that is not able to significantly provide productivity improvements. So there are audiences willing to pay, but are those resources able to keep up with a fixed cost base that can\u2019t deliver the same product for dramatically less. It is all revenue driven while most industries are able to also pare back expenses. A one-way challenge that requires the best minds to keep chasing it. In our case we did start with a dramatically reduced overhead, but that leaves nothing to cut next. It set out a path, but it requires continuous tailoring.\nChamber music, by the way is in even greater disarray, it is on a shorter path to living at the edge of poetry, one of the truly wonderful but unemployable art forms. Lime poets, the vast\nMy concern isn\u2019t that incremental or small improvements aren\u2019t useful, but that the entrepreneurship ideology doesn\u2019t clearly state that small improvements are about all that can be realistically expected.\nEurope\u2019s system of public funding is not fading. For most of the 35 or so countries public arts funding has remained stable and there a few compelling reasons to expect that will change. About four countries have reduced funding, but only temporarily due to ecomonic conditions. I can provide documented numbers if you want them. (I have lived in Europe for the last 35 years.)\nGood news about the SJO. Even though San Jose is one of the richest places on earth, the city ranks 186th for opera performances per year.\nAn essential aspect of capitalism is that it must constantly create more efficient systems of production. Traditional art forms can\u2019t which is why they cannot exist solely in the marketplace. This is also why the mixed ecomonies of Europe\u2019s social democracies are better at supporting large art forms like orchestras and opera companies.\nThis is nothing new. Marx described the problem with astounding accuracy in 1848:\n\u201cThe bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionizing of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real condition of life and his relations with his kind.\u201d\nI\u2019m no Marxist, but the guy had some things right.\nNo idea where the last 4 words came from?\nI engage a number of artists from around the world and I know first hand that almost all (including the rather privileged arts support countries like Germany) are aggressively trimming back and not replacing it with private funding, so there is substantial pressure there. I made my living in European arts world early in my career so I too know that world, and it is changing.\nI also think substantial changes should be considered as well. I was just responding to one of your earlier notes. Glad we clarified and agree on that point.\nI have no problem with the right ideas even if Marx was among the authors.\nAnecdotal comments by artists are a poor source for such info. They always yammer about there not being enough money. Here is a report by the Council of Europe which shows the actual numbers:\nhttp://www.culturalpolicies.net/web/statistics-funding.php?aid=232&cid=80&lid=en\nBetween 200 and 2009 cultural funding rose in 10 of the 30 countries listed. There were drops in 9 countries \u2014 all small countries facing economic problems. Budget cuts were made across the board, not just in the arts. The small rises and drops even out overall. Economic conditions since 2009 have stressed budgets, but there is still no evidence any small reductions are permanent, that Europe\u2019s public system is failing, or that their philosophy of public funding is being dropped, much to the chagrin of American opponents of public arts funding.\nI am currently Co-Chair and Professor (part-time) at Purchase College (SUNY) and Artistic Director of the National Orchestral Institute at the University of Maryland. My primary concern at Purchase will be to build a master's degree in arts entrepreneurship and to align the undergraduate program in arts management with it.

        "raw_content": "Erno Rubik was an Architecture Professor at the Budapest School of Commercial Art in Hungary \u2013 the world, however, knows him as the father of the cube \u2013 Rubik\u2019s Cube.\nThe cube is a six sided object which splits into three rows and three columns, each of which slide up to 360 degrees. Each side of the cube has a certain color but when the cubes rows and columns are twisted or rotated, these colors move to other sides. The object of the game was to twist and rotate the cube until it was a multicolored mess and then figure out a way to methodically return it to its original state. While some younger children were able to determine the solution in mere minutes, in actuality, there were more than 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible positions into which the cube could be manipulated.\nOriginally, Professor Rubik designed the small puzzle as a way of teaching his students about three dimensional objects, but after securing a patent for it in 1975, he began marketing it throughout Hungary, Europe and the United States.When toy manufacturer Ideal Toys contracted with him to produce it in the United States, the cubes sales and popularity skyrocketed. In 1980, the cube sold more than 4.5 million units and sold even more the next year. Over a seven year period, more than 30 million units were sold with pirated versions and several sequels also popping up. As well, as a companion to the puzzle, several books were written to provide hints and solutions to the puzzle \u2013 many of which went on to become the biggest sellers ever for their publishing houses.\nAt it\u2019s peak, the cubes popularity reached incredible and sometimes unhappy proportions. Legends abound that fans became so compulsive that one developed tendinitus in her wrist from struggling with the puzzle and another was divorced by his wife for becoming so infatuated with the device \u2013 which she had bought him for Christmas. Finally, around 1982, the cubes popularity finally began to decrease, much because of massive overexposure. Self help books popped up to enable people to kick the cube habit (with titles like How to Live with a Cubaholic and 101 Uses for a Dead Cube.)",

        "raw_content": "San Beda Beats Perpetual Help In NCAA Season 87: San Beda Looks Good Without Sudan Daniel\nDespite playing without Sudan Daniel and despite the bad shooting day of Garvo Lanete, the San Beda Red Lions was able to establish a big lead in the first quarter, 21 to 8 against the struggling University of Perpetual Help Altas (UPHSD). From then on, San Beda never looked back up to the last buzzer en route to winning their first game in the NCAA Season 87 Men's Basketball action. The final score of this game was 82-52.\nSan Beda's height and heft on the court was their biggest advantage against the much shorter UPHSD Altas. Kyle Pascual and Jake Pascual bullied the shorter big men of the Altas. They were just too much for the 6'3 George Allen and the 6'2 Sumera of the Altas. The worsts part is that both of these two big men went down after injuring their ankles. San Beda continued to pile up their lead while those two were not on the floor. I also noticed that the Altas doesn't seem to have a system or set of plays on the court. You can really tell that they are not yet familiar with the system of their new coach because Boris Aldeguer resigned in the middle of the summer due to personal reasons. Those are just the adversities that the Altas had to face while they were playing against the Red Lions.\nThe Red Lions showed tremendous respect against the Altas. They always contest their shots and they didn't slow down against them. In fact, the Red Lions had 19 fast break points in the first half alone. All in all I think they had at least 30 fast break points by the end of the game.\nRome Dela Rosa stepped up in this game. When he saw that Garvo was off in this game, he demanded the ball from his sweet spots and he just splashed the ball countless of times. He was able to produce 15 huge points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in this game.\nThe Altas just can't stop the scoring blitzkrieg of San Beda. Take note, coming into the fourth quarter of this game, the Red Lions managed to build a 32 point lead, 77-45. They were just too much to handle.\nThis win of San Beda was a testament on how good they are coming into this year's NCAA. I believe that they've found the answer on how they'll be able to work things out even without Sudan Daniel who was out for the rest of the season due to an ACL injury. The answers are just gang rebounding and total team effort. In this game, their big men doubled their work rate. They never think that they're gonna be too tired. They just continued to push till the very last buzzer. Kyle Pascual exhibited that fighter's mentality. He's ready to lead the front line of the Red Lions.\nLabels: eac line-up ncaa season 87 2011, garvo lanete, ncaa studio 23, sudan daniel",

        "raw_content": "A message to the concerned citizens of the Texas Gulf Coast\nThis is a critical matter for the entire seafood industry, recreational fishermen, and private land owners.\nRecently, a private entity, Sustainable Texas Oyster Resource Management, LLC (S.T.O.R.M.) has alleged that it controls the rights to 23,000 acres of water bottoms along the Texas Coast. S.T.O.R.M. alleges to have obtained those rights from the Chambers Liberty County Navigation District by way of a lease issued earlier this year. After obtaining its purported lease, S.T.O.R.M. has aggressively tried to assert its alleged rights over those in the seafood industry who have been lawfully operating in these waters for generations.\nS.T.O.R.M. has gone so far as to tell oyster leaseholders that it will ban them from harvesting or bedding on their own leases. S.T.O.R.M. also has expressed plans to prevent the fishing industry from operating on Texas waters without S.T.O.R.M.\u2019s permission. S.T.O.R.M. has even stated that it will arrest and prosecute anyone caught trespassing or fishing in these 23,000 acres.\nTo date, the TPWD and the Texas General Land Office has refused to acknowledge S.T.O.R.M.\u2019s position, citing the laws of the State of Texas and the powers and authorities granted to both the TPWD and the GLO to govern such matters. Having failed to convince anyone that their actions were legally valid in the State of Texas, it is anticipated that S.T.O.R.M. will now go to our law makers to try to change the law.\nSuch efforts simply cannot be allowed to succeed. These water bottoms and natural resources belong to the State of Texas and its citizens. No private entity should have the right to strip Texas citizens of such long standing rights.\nIf S.T.O.R.M is successful the public will no longer have commercial or recreational access to this part of the Texas Coast. This will put in jeopardy the entire seafood industry from fisherman, harvesters, and leaseholders to processors, brokers, and restaurant owners.\nThis petition is intended to urge our state officials at TPWD and GLO to continue their defense of this position and to take whatever legal steps necessary to ensure that the laws in place remain in place so as to protect resources, the seafood industry and State\u2019s rights.\nYou can sign the petition online by going to: http://chn.ge/1xHtJA4?share id=PWuILPURo\nPosted on Monday, December 1st, 2014 at 7:48 am | Category Community, News | Tags: A message to the concerned citizens of the Texas Gulf Coast, LLC (S.T.O.R.M.), Sustainable Texas Oyster Resource Management|\tComment |\n2 Commentss to \u201cA message to the concerned citizens of the Texas Gulf Coast\u201d\nDr. Joseph E.

Subsequently, in the years after 1981, an increase in orders from important companies was reported, and this led to develop a specific software on one's own, qualified for pressure vessel calculation according to reference codes. In those years, infact, this kind of software didn't exist yet, or they were rares.\nAt the same time, rose the need of particular and detailed controls over parts with different load cases, where it wasn't possible to apply the normal expression of calculation. Since 1983 was adopted the finite elements analisys (FEA analysis) software, which gave the possibility to investigate the stresses and deformation in e.g. particular zones of the structure.\nThe technical evolution of these programs was very quick, showing always a great affidability, when based on correct inputs and phisical phenomena interpretations. The range of activity was quickly expanded also to other engineering fields, e.g. industrial veichles, human protesis, paper machines, food and textile machines etc. At present, the fem activity mechanical design is supported also by 3D modeling, so that it is possible to import exactly goemetries already existing.",

        "raw_content": "Trump has repeatedly criticized the country and now suddenly sends a letter of help to him.\nReference News Network reported on December 5 In the past two days, the Trump administration suddenly issued a letter of help, and the \"receiver\" of this letter was just a few days ago with the US government. A Pakistani relationship.\nThe Pakistani government said on the 3rd that Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan received a letter from US President Donald Trump on the same day that the United States asked Pakistan to help bring peace negotiations in Afghanistan to end the incident. A protracted war.\nPakistan\u2019s Minister of Information, Favard Chowdhury, said that Trump also spoke of the importance of relations between the United States and Pakistan, saying that the US-Pakistan relationship is seeking for the United States and The war in Afghanistan is \"very important.\"\nThe Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement confirming receipt of a letter from Trump.\nThe media noticed that Trump\u2019s statement in the letter was very different from his previous comments on Pakistan. Trump has repeatedly publicly criticized Pakistan for its ineffective anti-terrorism. \"With American money, it does not work for the United States.\" The US government has also taken the initiative to cut off security aid to Pakistan.\nWhy did Trump suddenly \"lower down\" to ask for help from Pakistan? Yan Daming, a researcher at the National Development and Strategy Institute of Renmin University of China, analyzed in an interview with Reference News. Trump sent this \"assistance letter\" to Pakistan, which is an adjustment of the United States with a view to the region. For a long time, Pakistan has given the United States great support and cooperation in advancing the settlement of the Afghan issue. The United States has sought Pakistan\u2019s assistance in advancing the solution of this issue, which has continued the past. A few months ago, Pakistan had just completed the government change. Therefore, the Trump administration also hopes to take this opportunity to seek new opportunities for cooperation with the Palestinians, to resume possible interaction with the Palestinians in the region on issues such as anti-terrorism, and to strengthen Afghanistan. The advancement of the process will lay the foundation for the next step of the US Middle East policy and the adjustment of the Iraqi policy. At the same time, the promotion of US-Pakistan cooperation is also in the interests of Pakistan. If the Afghan issue is successfully resolved, it will help the Palestinian side to have a more stable surrounding environment.\n\u5201\u5927\u660e further stated that the reason why the United States attaches great importance to Pakistan\u2019s role in Afghanistan is not unrelated to some realistic factors. On the one hand, if we want to truly solve the Afghan problem, we cannot do without the cooperation and assistance of the Palestinian side. On the other hand, the logistical supply route of the United States in Afghanistan is realized through Pakistan.\nThe public opinion observed that the Pakistani side also gave a positive response to the US show. The Pakistani side stated in its statement that Pakistan has always supported the end of the war in Afghanistan through political negotiations and is willing to provide assistance for the peace process in Afghanistan.\nHowever, in the past, in the field of counter-terrorism, although the United States and Pakistan maintained a good interaction, Trump made some heated remarks after serving as president, which once caused damage to US-Pakistan relations. After all, as the frontier of counter-terrorism, the Palestinian side itself is deeply affected by terrorism. The Trump administration\u2019s ignoring the efforts of the Palestinian side to fight terrorism has already made the Palestinian side feel guilty. Now, a letter of help can make the two countries \"reconciled as ever\"?\nIn this regard, Zhai Daming believes that even if the Trump administration intends to ease the relationship with the Palestinian side, at most it may only restore the relationship to the past and it will be difficult to go further. At the same time, the Pakistani side also needs to \"listen to its words and see its actions\". In the next step, how much sincerity the US can produce will directly affect the future relationship between the two countries and the advancement of the Afghan process.

        "raw_content": "Muddy Wednesday\nSong of the Day: Neighbor - Band of Horses\nSo things did actually get a bit muddy. The guys I go riding with can seem to plan for the life of them. The Monday ride got moved to Wednesday because of people dropping out. Then the ride got moved from Grand Ridge back to Duthie because of rain.\nThat wasn't really a big deal for me. I still rode out through Grand Ridge. I love the trails there. A bit technical but not too bad. I am also getting better at those climb at the begining. Less spin-outs, less pushing, more awesome. Despite the rain the trail wasn't bad. I almost thought it had less mud on it than when I rode through last week. The bog on the far side of the ridge was about the same muddy slop, but no worse.\nI was a bit late when I got there, but I met up with Sean and Andy and we did a couple of turns around the park. I didn't crash this time, so I am pleased with that. My rib still hurts a bit, especially when cranking up a big incline. That is just life, in my opinion.\nAfterwards the three of us met up with Douglas where he works. Our kind host even provided some burgers and hot dogs. Mmmmm. It was really nice to sit out and watch what we could of the sunset and shoot the breeze. A good way to end the afternoon. I hope that we get more chances in the future to do the same and more people out to partake.\nDirty Tuesday\nSong of the Day: In the Meantime - Spacehog\nWell I said there would be more rides this year. So you get to read more boring re-caps of what I have been doing. After the long ride yesterday I wasn't sure heading out again would be such a good idea. My legs were feeling much better than I thought they would. Why not get back on the bike then?\nSo this afternoon I rode out to Grand Ridge again. I took the trail to the top. Lots of tight switch backs. I am getting better at it though. The last time I had to stop around a lot of the steep hairpins. This time around I only spun out once and had to hop off.\nAfter hitting the top I cruised down the back side of the ridge. I have done the back side once or twice, but never gone all the way out. Wow, that was a lot of fun. Really my kind of trails. Lots of nice juicy single track. The best part is that it is through lush forest. On a hot sunny day, it is so beautiful. Highly recommended.\nWell, at least until you get to the swamp. There is a big section at the bottom that is just a mud bog. Some kind people have put planks across most of it. I don't mind getting dirty, but I was hoping to keep my shoes from being soaking wet. The last bit through the swamp was covered with a boardwalk. I suppose that is only half finished. I am excited to see that complete because from there it is just a couple of switch backs up to Duthie Hill Park.\nAt Duthie I met up with some of the crew I ride with on Thursdays. I have only been to the park once before a few months ago. This time around, it was about like I remembered it. Lots of nice fast trails. Good flows and cool jumps.\nAt least when you do them right. I followed a couple of the guys down one trail and didn't look where I was going. I hit a big drop and ended up going endo. I landed on my head, which fortunately I had my helmet on. Please note kids, wear a helmet. Actually, hitting my head wasn't bad. It was my ribs hitting my stem that hurt. It is still a bit sore now. At least it was on the opposite side from the ribs I hurt on the way to Rohija.\nAfter that the guys and I went out for burgers in Fall City. We sat by the river and skipped rocks. Watched the sunset. It was a great end to the solstice.\nOne final note, since it is the first day of summer I am happy to see my summer legs coming back. No I don't mean all muscled and tan, though they are that. I mean covered in bruises, cuts, and scrapes. Wounds heal, but memories last. Never be to afraid for your life that you forget to live it.\nSnoqualmie Tunnel Ride\nSong of the Day: I Think Ur a Contra - Vampire Weekend\nI heard the other day that the Snoqualmie Tunnel was going to reopen. Apparently they even fixed what was wrong with it. I am still unclear who coughed up the money. On the state park website it lists the \"official\" opening as July 5th. On the other hand a shuttle service between Cedar Falls and Hyak starts up on July 1st. So it must be open before that. Even though it is more than two weeks from the real opening, I figured that I would check it out and see if they had opened it up. I mean, if it is fixed, why bother to lock it up again?\nWith that in I headed out today from Issaquah. To start with I headed to the Issaquah to Preston trail. Nothing really special. It is a route I take a lot. From Preston I rode down into Fall City. I know that I could take the Preston to Snoqualmie trail, but low and behold that doesn't actually go to Snoqualmie. You can take a single track trail over to the Snoqualmie Ridge development, but well, I have learned to avoid things called \"Ridge\". Also you have to do the crazy daredevil downhill along the Snoqualmie Parkway.\nFrom Fall City it was out on 202 and then to hook up with the Snoqualmie Valley trail. That ends at the Tokul Road tunnel and doesn't pick up until the bridge over the Snoqualmie River. So it was a few more miles on blacktop around Mill Pond. After that it was 25 miles of gravel rail trail up to the top. Also 2,100 feet of elevation gain. I must admit my legs were aching pretty badly on the way up.\nThen when I got there, the tunnel was closed. I know that I could have hucked my bike over the fence. Also the chain was just bolted to one of the gates, so if I had an adjustable wrench I could have opened the tunnel early. That wasn't really the point though. I wanted to make see if the gates were actually open without having to commit a kind of crime. So I didn't take a role through the tunnel. The one thing I didn't see though was evidence of what was fixed. The tunnel looked pretty much the same. I guess I will have a few more weeks before I see what has changed.\nAfter that it was the long journey back home. I did make one stop in Fall City. I grabbed a burger at Small Fryes. Oh, and a shake. They make really great shakes there. It was just the thing I needed to make the last 15 miles home.\nI am just hoping my legs aren't dead tomorrow.\nEcho Valley Race\nTime: 3 hours and 3 minutes\nSong of the Day: Nutshell - Alice in Chains\nRace day. The first thing I should explain is that the \"valley\" part of the Echo Valley race is a misnomer. There isn't any racing around the valley at all. All of the racing is done up on Echo Ridge. The only thing in the valley is the start of the race. From there it is a 2.3 mile climb up the fire road. I had sacked out in my van at the top parking lot, so when I got up I had to bike down to the start. I was glad the finish was at the top though. Racing down the road would have killed me I think. Hairpin turns on gravel roads while going super fast do not make a good combination for me.\nI watched the 60 mile group head off at 9:00, and waited for the 30 mile group to show up. Roger, the guy putting on the race, gave us our instructions. Once the race started, we would make our way to the top. From the upper parking lot we would do two loops around the various trails. The finish would be all the way at the top near the main aid station. In total we would be doing about 30 miles.\nAt 9:30 the pack of knobby tired cyclists was off, and what a blazing start it was. Right uphill! The climb wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though. The pack started to spread out pretty quickly. I even found myself passing a few people. So I thought things were going well. I was worried I was going to go too fast and end up bonking somewhere along the way. Whenever I felt like I was struggling though, I just thought it couldn't be as bad as getting to Nkuringo.\nOnce at the top, the race course spread out all over the ridge. Some of it was single track, some double. In most places the path swept over the shoulder of each slope. The sky was almost cloudless and you could see the valley laid out below for miles. It was a beautiful day to be riding. I don't think my thoughts about Nkuringo were far off either. The place really reminded me of my time in Southwest Uganda.\nThe only section that I thought was tough was the trail known as \"The Shoe\". It was all single track, so all the little bushes and plants were whipping me in the legs. Plus there were a few points where it got pretty technical. Also one point where it was basically too steep to ride. I am sure a few of the racers did it, but everyone I saw was pushing their bike up that section. Not that I really minded having to push. That is all part of the challenge as far as I am concerned. The thing that got me was that this portion of the trail began and ended at the same place, so the net elevation gain was zero. For some reason though it just felt like so much more uphill than downhill. It didn't help that once you climbed back up to where you started the section, you still had to go half a mile back to the upper parking lot to begin the second lap.\nI did stop for a couple of minutes at the aid station. I drank up a whole ton of water and Nuun. I also ate half a Clif Bar. It was a good thing I did, but I probably should have done a bit more. About half way through the second lap I felt the energy draining out of me. I did have the rest of the Clif Bar, but trying to eat one while riding along on overgrown dirt roads is not easy. I think next time it would be better to get one of those gel packs. After a few minutes the energy did start to kick in and I was able to keep going.\nI even felt really good climbing out of The Shoe and racing to the top. I even passed a few people on the way. Making those climbs is hard, but apparently I am good at it. I finished the race with a time of 3:03. I am pretty happy with that. Sure, it isn't winning any awards, but for only a week's notice I don't think it is too shabby.\nAfter finishing I then spent the next ten minutes sampling all of the food and drink options at the aid station. I was parched and ravenous. A big thanks to the volunteers who were helping out. That stuff was a big help in making me feel normal again. Another big thanks to Roger and the guys for putting this on. I had a blast and I hope that there are many more races to come.\nSong of the Day: Fair - Ben Folds Five\nWell, I am all signed up for the Echo Valley race. I am really excited about that. Endurance mountain bike racing really does sound like something right up my alley. Plus my new bike is all set up and running like a top. So I took it out today to do a bit of training.\nI rode out of Issaquah and up to Preston to drop some stuff off with a friend. Then it was back along the trail and a rode up around Grand Ridge. The first couple of switchbacks from the High Point trailhead were killing me though. I thought I was in better shape than that. I was really huffing and puffing.\nOnce I got up to the ridge, things got a bit easier and I was enjoying it more. I also started using my middle chainring. I am really glad to have that. On trails it gives me much better gearing ratios than the large one. I am still not sure the granny gear is so useful, but I can worry about that later.\nThe upper trails were all full of puddles and mud. It felt good to get out and get dirty. By the time I got back home I was covered in mud. I took a shower and washed the bike before heading into town.\nIn the evening I met up with the guys from .83 for another Thursday ride. I think it is the longest ride I have been on with them. I was a nice night for it, so I can't say that I mind. We ended up cruising over Beacon Hill and then down into Renton. Then back up the Duwamish and into Seattle. It was over 30 miles round trip. Despite being on my my fat tired mountain bike, I was still able to keep up with the group. Yee-haw. Hopefully that will keep me in good training for the ride this weekend.\nDistance: 400 yard swim, 14.5 mile bike ride, 3 mile run\nI woke up far too early this morning. Especially considering I was up until 1:00 AM the night before. Still, I felt good for it being 5:00 AM. Plus it was a gorgeous day, finally. I got some breakfast and put my kit on before biking down to the state park.\nWhen I got to the race start, I was in for quite a sight. I didn't realize how many people there were going to be competing. There were a ton of people getting ready. It was quite an array. I saw individuals warming up running biking and even swimming. I was one of the few without a full wet suit. So I stood around waiting for the race to begin and trying to keep my toes warm.\nI started in with the third wave. The water wasn't that bad. At a balmy 58 degrees, the temperature was fine. The swimming was much harder than I expected. I used to spend all my summer days swimming in the lake. So I thought that would be one thing I was good at. My training really didn't prepare me for what I was doing. I ended up being passed by the following two swim waves. Still, I made it slow but steady.\nFrom there it was onto the bike portion. That I did much better at. I had tuned my bike up the day before and it was running like a top. I am used to doing a lot of street biking. Stopping every mile or so for a stop light or a car. Because all the streets were closed off, I could just cruise. It felt so good.\nThen it was off to running. Not really my favorite activity, and I was pretty tired by this point. I kept at it however. The night before I had been talking with my friend Chris about ski mountaineering. He mentioned that their motto was \"Put on foot in front of the other and suffer.\" For some reason thinking about that really made me feel better. I wasn't worried about breaking any records. I just needed to keep going. I crossed the finish line a bit over an hour and a half from the start.\nAt the finish I grabbed some food the sponsors had out. I felt pretty good in spite of everything. I also talked with a guy named Roger from NW Epic Series. I guess he puts on long distance mountain bike races. That sounds really fun, so there may be more to come on that later.\nFrom there it was a short bike back home. Then it was nap time.\nPre-Tri\nDistance: 400 yard swim, 17 mile bike ride, 3 mile run\nSong of the Day: Pretend - The Bens\nSo I have been training for a Triathlon for the last few months. All of the work has been going well. Today it has come done to one full length dress rehearsal. When I started training two months ago, I really couldn't run a mile without stopping. I also couldn't swim more then about 15 feet. Then again the water temp at the time was 46 degrees...\nToday the water temp was a brisk 57 degrees. I swam out to a couple of the buoys in the lake. I was surprised that I could actually keep swimming and didn't need to stop at any point. The past couple of swims I have been grabbing onto the buoys as a chance to catch my breath. The wind was up, which did hinder breathing anyway. It was kicking up waves on the lake that had me choking on water at a couple of points.\nOnce out of the water I got into my shoes as fast as I could. I was worried that my toes would go numb again. So I wanted to get on the bike as fast as I could.\nFor today I took my new Mzungu bike. It isn't the bike I will take on Saturday, but I wanted something that takes a bit more power to ride. Plus I just got it together and I wanted to test it out. I rode over the Lake Sammamish State Park and rode around on some of the trails. They are still pretty muddy. It feels good to get dirt on the new wheels. Woo-hoo. Then I took the Issaquah-Preston trail. More mud and dirt out that way. After that it was back to home.\nI stopped in for just enough time to down two glasses of water. I forgot that the new bike doesn't have a bottle or a cage on it yet. Whoops. Then it was off to run. Another 3 mile tour around the neighborhood. So that was it. Basically a sprint distance triathlon, done. I feel good. I think Saturday is going to go well. At least if I can get up before 6:00 AM...",

        "raw_content": "If you are hoping to play some bitcoin slot machines online, you've come to the right place. We've tested and reviewed some of the top casinos online, and below are the top-rated online casinos where you can play slots using bitcoins.\nmBitCasino should be a top choice for any online casino gamer who is serious about playing slots. This first-class website boasts no less than 15 video slot games, along with another 15 jackpot slot games, with new games being added on a routine basis. What's more, new players get a 110% bonus on deposits you make with bitcoins.\nIf you are hoping for a unique gaming experience, then look no further than Betcoin.ag. This bitcoin slots casino offers a different kind of gaming in the form of 3D slots, which is a refreshing, immersive way to enjoy slots compared to the traditional experience. It may not be for everyone, but it's definitely worth checking out if you like new, exciting experiences.\nAt this time, the two casinos above are the only bitcoin casinos that we have had the opportunity to vet in a comprehensive manner. Since the majority of online casinos are licensed and registered in a certain country, the chance that you will run into a fraudulent operation is generally quite low. That said, we recommend you only play at the casinos listed on this page, as you can never be too safe. We will add additional casinos as we test new sites and evaluate the fairness of the games they offer. Some people like to open accounts at multiple online casinos and alternate which one they may play at on a given day. Our preferred approach is to find a good casino and stick to it. This can work to your favor sometimes since you will earn more rewards or other benefits.\nWhy Bitcoin Casinos?\nAs you may know, online casinos have been a staple of the Internet since the late 90's. For the most part, they are licensed in countries with favorable online gambling laws, such as Antigua and Barbados. Depending on where you live, it may or may not be legal to gamble at an online casino. One issue that has made it hard for some people to bet at online casinos is that credit card companies often would now allow customers to deposit money at such websites.\nThis is less likely to be an issue if you play at a casino that accepts bitcoins. Bitcoins, by their very nature offer a level of anonymity that is not possible with other currencies. We recommend that you still check your local laws to make sure you are not in violation of them by placing bets online. But even if you live in an area where betting online is legal, you will likely find that using bitcoins to play at online casinos is a lot more convenient. Not only is your privacy better ensured, you can also deposit and withdraw funds much more quickly, with much lower transaction fees.\nIn addition to the benefits that come naturally from using bitcoins instead of traditional currencies, we have found that casinos that accept bitcoins offer a higher-end gaming experience. We're not quite sure why this is - Perhaps it's because companies that accept bitcoin by nature are more cutting-edge. Whatever the reason, you will find that the casinos we list on this page offer a great experience, offering things like live table games, 3D slots, and an exciting selection of newer games that aren't available at many competing casinos.\nIf you gamble online, playing at bitcoin slot casinos is therefore a no-brainer. Not only will you have a more enjoyable time playing at casinos that offer a high-end gaming experience, you will also have the benefit of using bitcoins to maximize your privacy. It's important to note that by using a bitcoin casino, you will not only be able to make deposits with bitcoin, but also be able to withdraw your winnings using bitcoin as well.\nMore About 3D Bitcoin Slots\nOne of the casinos featured above, Betcoin.ag, offers something called 3D slots. These are highly immersive 3D games that will take your slot playing experience to a whole new level. But instead of trying to describe what playing 3D slots is like, we recommend you check out the videos below, which show you want the game play is like:\nAs you can see, 3D slots at Betcoin are unlike any slots you've played before.

        "raw_content": "Headteacher, Mr Lewis, to retire after 25 years at Skippers Hill School\nFollowing a successful 25 years at the helm, Headteacher Mr Tim Lewis has announced that he will be retiring at the end of the academic year.\nOn April 1st 1990, Tim, his wife Fiona and their two children arrived at Skippers Hill to start a three year contract, which ended up stretching into a quarter of a century.\nDuring that time, both Tim and his wife have successfully maintained the ethos of Skippers Hill Manor School as established by Ray and Maureen Ward who founded the school in 1945, and both have played a key role in developing the school into what it is today.\n\u201cWe have had many adventures as the school has flourished but have, nevertheless, maintained its warmth and individuality. To have played a part in its success has been a privilege,\u201d comments Tim.\n\u201cIt has been exhilarating to have helped steer so many vital capital projects through to completion: the IT suite; the new Early Years Block; the creation of four cracking classrooms in the old dormitories; the revamping of the corridors and relocation of the offices; the new Performing Arts\u2019 room; the fantastic Astro - whilst not forgetting all the curriculum innovation and the exciting Woodland Explorers' Programme, which is incorporated into our ambitious Development Plan for the future of Skippers.\nThe time has definitely come for me to pass on command to a younger man whom I greatly respect.\u201d\nSteven Wade, Bellevue Education\u2019s UK Schools Director, said: \u201cTim has been an inspirational Head, committed to and immersed in the life of Skippers. He takes huge pride in his work and his relations with the children at Skippers, present and past and embodies the finest qualities of the school. The manner of Tim\u2019s departure is a measure of the man, he has picked his time and his successor with care and consideration, ensuring continuity for the school he loves.\u201d\nMark Hammond, currently Deputy Head, will become the next Headmaster of Skippers when Tim retires at the end of the Summer Term.\nPrior to joining Skippers as Deputy Head, Mark was a member of the Senior Leadership Team at Geneva English School with responsibility for pastoral care across the school. Prior to that, Mark was a Head of House and Boarding Housemaster at The Junior King's School, Canterbury.\nMark said: \u201cThe Hammond family are delighted to be at Skippers and very much looking forward to being at the heart of the school community for many years to come. Skippers has a special atmosphere which stretches back many decades. I am thrilled by the opportunity to take the school forward with a strong team, ensuring that we modernise and fully prepare our children for life in the twenty-first century whilst retaining a child-centred, family atmosphere where individuals are nurtured. It is a rare privilege to work alongside a Headmaster with Tim's experience and unique approach - I am confident that we will enjoy an excellent transition and I very much look forward to working with everyone involved with the school.\u201d",

        "raw_content": "BNSF Plans $141 Million Capital Program in California to Maintain and Expand Rail Capacity and Ensure Safe, Reliable Operations\nFORT WORTH, TEXAS - BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) today announced that its 2015 capital program for its operations in California will be an estimated $141 million for rail capacity improvement projects and maintenance. Unlike other modes of freight transportation, U.S. railroads own and maintain their own networks. To ensure BNSF\u2019s network operates at optimal efficiency, each year the company allocates capital for infrastructure and expansion projects that will enable it to serve the growing needs of customers from a broad cross section of the economy.\n\u201cThis year\u2019s substantial investments in California are a clear reflection of how important our operations in the state are to our overall network and our unwavering commitment to always operating safely \u2013 for our people and the communities in which we operate,\u201d said Mark Kirschinger, BNSF general manager operations California Division. \u201cWe know our customers are competing in a fast-paced, global economy where a smooth, efficient supply chain can be the difference between winning and losing in the marketplace. This year\u2019s planned expansion and maintenance projects will help give BNSF the capacity flexibility it needs to support our customers\u2019 growing demands and connect California products to key markets.\u201d\nContinuous maintenance of BNSF\u2019s infrastructure ensures an optimized, safe and reliable network. Maintaining the railroad is important for keeping it in optimal condition and helps limit the need for unscheduled service outages that can slow down the rail network and reduce capacity. BNSF\u2019s maintenance program in California will include 880 miles of track surfacing and undercutting work, the replacement of nearly 54 miles of rail and close to 118,000 ties.\nBNSF\u2019s 2015 capital projects in California include the construction of three miles of double track and a siding as part of the Tehachapi Rail Improvement Project along the Mojave subdivision. It also plans to expand the parking capacity at the Stockton Intermodal Facility.\nThe planned capital investments in California are part of BNSF\u2019s record 2015 capital commitment of $6 billion, which was announced last November and is the company\u2019s largest planned capital expenditure in its history. The investments include $2.9 billion to replace and maintain core network and related assets, nearly $1.5 billion on expansion and efficiency projects, $200 million for continued implementation of PTC and $1.4 billion for locomotives, freight cars and other equipment acquisitions.",

The sites are part of an IRS-backed program where volunteers train to become IRS certified to provide free tax return preparation for low to moderate income individuals, according to a press release from HRA.\nHRA began operating the VITA program in 2004 with just one location in New Britain. This year over 200 volunteers will prepare taxes at 13 locations in Bristol, Farmington, Meriden, New Britain, Plymouth, Southington, Vernon and Wallingford, the release stated. This includes student IRS certified volunteers who will prepare taxes at Tunxis Community College and the New Britain High School.\nThe United Way of West Central Connecticut at 440 N. Main St., has been a partner to HRA and VITA for several years, and will provide service out of its office.\n\u201cUnited Way has been doing very well, that\u2019s why they keep repeating of it every year,\u201d said Caren Dickman, communications and grant development specialist for HRA.\nDickman explained that the public is not required to register for the program but it is strongly encouraged. She said this is because the agency will ask some questions beforehand and let the public know of necessary documents to bring.\n\u201cThe reason is so that they can get better service when they come in,\u201d she said. \u201cThe other thing is, walk-ins may have to wait for others that have an appointment.\u201d\nThe site in Bristol will be the second of its kind and is slated to open Jan. 25. It will be located at the HRA office at 55 South St. and the hours are Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon. For an appointment, call 860-356-2000.\nThe Plymouth site will open on Jan. 24. It will be located at Town Hall at 80 Main St., Terryville, and the hours are Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to noon. For an appointment call 860-585-4028.\nThe number of spots for assistance is not limited and both sites will be open until April 15, when taxes are due, Dickman added.\nVolunteers and staff filed 5,629 tax returns in 2017 which returned $8.9 million refund dollars to the communities HRA of New Britain serves, including $3.4 million in earned income tax credit refunds, according to the release.

        "raw_content": "A June 23, 2005 news release in the Office of Advocacy, U.S. Small Business Administration, says that home computer owners are marginally more inclined to be company owners than non-computer owners. This report shows that technology and computing has turned into an inseparable ingredient in the business community today.\nThe past two decades have marked a tremendous increase in the amount of home computers. With it, computer owners have invariably taken to entrepreneurship in many varied fields. As a result of the increase of technology, the Internet, new approaches and computers are developed for processing regular business activities easily. Without the arrival of technology, regular jobs would have taken and enormous amount of specialization plus time. Certainly, the computer symbolizes the top technology development in the last century as it relates to businesses now, both little and big. Improvements in the area of technology have created a vast quantity of business opportunities.\nLet us make an effort to know what the computers mean to companies and the way in which they contribute to improve their productivity.\nOffice Routines: Almost invariably, businesses loaded with all the responsibility of rising workloads and the pressures of being lean and mean, fall back upon technology for the majority of their administrative tasks. This work comprises, amongst others, inventory handling, bookkeeping and e-mail. The arrival of the Internet has also considerably given in bringing down the expenses of promotion and communication. Technology the bottom line is, has really reduced the overall cost.\nNew Business Opportunities: The explosion of e commerce and Internet has opened up a plethora of chances for all types of businesses. New management methodologies, such as Six Sigma are not more difficult to execute due to statistical software. Also, businesses can train their very own employees using consequently, and in-house Six Sigma software programs, save money on job costs.\nIt is now possible to possess many business functions work on autopilot. It\u2019s opened up new chances for software development companies and business consultants. Another company trend which has opened up as a result of advancing technology is outsourcing. It\u2019s now feasible for a business in America to have its data entry and customer service facilities in overseas countries like the United Kingdom. In this way, businesses can service their customers.\nIt\u2019s difficult to think of a scenario where companies can do without computers and technology today. It is rather hard to say whether businesses depend on computers or computers .\nSoftware Specific To Small Businesses\nStrong, yet simple software that is specific has come to the rescue of small businesses in reducing their endeavors and opening up new channels. Easy applications like spreadsheets and word processing helps them keep an eye on correspondence and keep accounts, finances. These applications allow the users to customize other functions and reports to accommodate their particular business.\nBoth men and women in company have adjusted to new technology. But the SBA report cites the general decrease in skill degrees of individuals, which may eventually lead to an overall reduction of income amounts. It would appear that people often neglect and get technology that is used to doing all the work their skill development. It is up to individual businesses to ensure their employees remain able to do critical tasks minus the assistance of computers, if necessary.",

        "raw_content": "Possum Games\nPossum Games by Michelle Worthington, illustrated by Sandra Temple (Wombat Books)\nLate at night on a rusty tin roof, just near an old mango tree, the possums compete in games of skill. Riley has always wanted to join in, but he is not a fast runner, a high jumper or a strong thrower. Until one particular noisy Possum Games night, Riley discovers he has some amazing skills after all.\nPossum Games is a lovely book about finding your talents and a gaining sense of self. It is told from the perspective of Riley who just cannot keep up or compete with his other possum friends. He is slow and clumsy and often left out by the other possums. It\u2019s only when the humans start throwing green mangoes at the noisy group of possums that Riley learns that he can do something well; he can dodge. Not only is he good at it, he\u2019s better than anyone else!\nThis book demonstrates a situation that most children (and adults) can relate to: feeling inferior to those around you. Despite his best efforts, Riley just isn\u2019t as good as his friends. It lowers his self-esteem and causes him to remove himself from the games being played. When, by chance, he discovers he does have a talent, he not only finds the respect and admiration of the other possums but, more importantly, of himself.\nSandra Temple\u2019s illustrations are fun and lively. The possums have lots of personality and present as a great blend of cartoon and realism. With possums throwing, jumping and skidding down rooves, there\u2019s plenty of action from page to page.\nMichelle Worthington was born in Brisbane and currently works and lives in the Redlands. Winner of the 1988 Little Swaggie Award and other Australian poetry competitions, she has been published in numbers local and international poetry anthologies. She has written several books for children including The Pink Pirate, Each The Same and Yellow Dress Day. She can be found online at http://www.michelleworthington.com/.\nSandra Temple has been a professional artist, illustrator and author for more than thirty years. The winner of many prestigious awards, she has paintings in private, corporate and government collections nationally and internationally.

The free exhibit features life size touchable resin masks of famous Blues musicians, and live Blues music by Creative Arts High School\u2019s P.A.C.E. Ensemble will be performed at 12pm, 2pm, and 4pm. This traveling exhibit comes by way of Kansas City, Missouri, from the Mid-America Arts Alliance and the National Endowment for the Arts.\nBlues music was born in Mississippi, came of age in Chicago, and went on to inspire generations of rock and rollers, ranging from the British invasion of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones to contemporary groups, such as The Black Keys. As one of America\u2019s contributions to the world of music, the blues took root in the fertile soil of the Mississippi Delta, a flood plain covering 7,000 square miles between the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers. Early blues greats in the Delta pioneered the strong rhythmic style of music, accenting the raw emotions of the lyrics by squeezing chords out of a guitar with a bottleneck or metal slide.\nA celebration of Mississippi\u2019s rich musical heritage, A Cast of Blues features 15 resin-cast masks of blues legends created by artist Sharon McConnell-Dickerson. In addition, the exhibition includes 15 color photographs of blues artists and the colorful juke joints in which they played. The images are selected from acclaimed photographer Ken Murphy\u2019s groundbreaking book, Mississippi: State of Blues.\nThe masks and images in A Cast of Blues tell the story of the hopes, sorrows, and triumphs of the men and women who lived and breathed the blues in Mississippi. The exhibition is fully accessible to all visitors, featuring braille labels, educational materials, and hands on instruments. In addition, visitors are encouraged to touch the resin-cast masks.\nA Cast of Blues is curated by Chuck Haddix, music historian, author, radio personality, and Director of the Marr Sound Archives at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.\nAlso open on Sunday, February 11th will be the new African American History Room. Recently opened as the Camden County Historical Society\u2019s permanent exhibit space for local African American History, the room features a timeline of African American history and a special exhibit on The Moores of Greenland (present day Magnolia, NJ).\nThe exhibit runs through March 11th, with live music each Sunday at 12pm and 2pm on February 18th, February 25th, March 4th, and March 11th. Regular visiting hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10am to 4:30pm and Sunday 12-3pm. The exhibit is sponsored by the Subaru Foundation, the Wells Fargo Regional Foundation, the Rohrer Foundation, and the Camden County Cultural & Heritage Commission.\nThe Camden County Historical Society is located at 1900 Park Boulevard, Camden NJ 08103. The site includes a research library in addition to Historic Pomona Hall and the Camden County Museum. Although the research library and museum will be closed for the Grand Opening event on February 11th, they are regularly open Wednesday to Friday from 10am to 4:30pm and Sunday 12-3pm, with a $5 admission fee for nonmembers.

        "title": "Media Headliner: Howell represents a new force for change at ITV",
        "raw_content": "Media Headliner: Howell represents a new force for change at ITV\nHis appointment has split opinion, but Rupert Howell and Michael Grade are on the same wavelength, Alasdair Reid says.\nRupert Howell is in a rather tetchy mood. He is irked at last week's front-page story in Campaign because it states he has been appointed to succeed Ian McCulloch as the commercial director of ITV. He hasn't, he points out. He has, in fact, taken the new role of managing director, ITV brand and commercial. It is a totally different proposition with a far wider remit.\nHowell also corrects our assertion that his appointment comes after a \"long trawl\" by the broadcaster. We reply that speculation about the role seems to have been swirling around the media industry for weeks, if not months, with scores of names being touted.\nIll-informed speculation, Howell asserts. He says there were only ever three names genuinely in the frame, and the recruitment process, once truly under way, was concluded smartly.\nOne can see why he is keen to forestall any confusion, especially as to the true nature of his role, which, surely, will be on the shortlist for ITV chief executive when that position becomes vacant. In contrast, McCulloch's previous role - mainly overseeing the generation of advertising revenues - offered no such opportunities for career advancement.\nWhen Howell joins ITV in November, he will have equal standing with the director of global content, Dawn Airey. They will both report to the chief operating officer, John Cresswell, who in turn reports to the executive chairman, Michael Grade - who has stated he will step back to become the non-executive chairman by 2010.\nSo, we are happy to clarify that Howell's job will be \"to determine where we take the ITV brand into the future - how its channels develop in the digital television environment and the media world\".\nHe adds: \"It's about how you redefine the brand, plus, of course, all aspects of monetising the brand.\"\nInterestingly, among even the more liberal-minded senior figures within media agencies, there were some reservations about Howell's appointment (off the record, disappointingly). When pushed on this, their doubts boil down to the notion that Howell seems to be a typical charming-yet-brash ad man from a lost era - the 80s and 90s - and that he is not an \"ITV-type\" (too posh). These criticisms are, one has to assume, two sides of the same coin.\nYes, Howell is a bit public school and, as such, has the sort of uncompromising confidence that some find abrasive. He owns an impressive swathe of real estate in Surrey, complete with that most salubrious of accessories, a helipad - although he has not yet got the helicopter to go with it.\nChopper or not, Howell can, some say, adopt all sorts of lord-of-the-manor airs and graces. But others who know him better counter that that description is misleading. He is far warmer when you get to know him and, when you appreciate that warmer side, his charisma and can-do spirit of enthusiasm become thoroughly compelling.\nGraham Duff, the Universal McCann president EMEA, is uniquely placed to comment - he is not only a former colleague, but also an ex-ITV commercial chief. \"In many ways, Howell's the antithesis to me,\" Duff says. \"I remember telling him how surprised I was that we got on so well together - especially as he is a Tottenham Hotspur supporter. He has undoubted chutzpah - unlike many in the industry, it is actually founded on something.\"\nDuff is not alone in arguing that, contrary to the views of a coterie of sceptics, Howell will work well with media agencies and the media controllers of the big advertisers. And, of course, there is no-one with better contacts among the broader client community. He will make a charismatic frontman for the brand within the industry at large.\nAnother friend and former colleague, Chris Satterthwaite, the group chief executive at Chime Communications, says Howell is a natural leader. \"He has a strong sense of where an organisation should be going; equally, he always has time to listen to the views of others,\" he explains. Satterthwaite argues that Howell has a greater feel for media issues than most people give him credit for. \"Howell's instincts have always been about finding the best ways to move hearts and minds, and media strategy is always embraced right from the off,\" he says. \"He has a tremendous understanding of audience behaviour.\"\nThis is, however, a major departure for Howell. After spells moving rapidly through the ranks at Grey and Young & Rubicam, he was a founder of the most celebrated third-wave agency, Howell Henry Chaldecott Lury, in 1987. When it was acquired for \u00a324 million by the publicly quoted Chime ten years later, Howell became the joint chief executive of Chime, working under the chairman, Tim Bell. But, according to the industry rumour, Howell became frustrated when Bell decided to stay on and full control failed to fall into his lap. He moved on in 2002.\nIn his next senior role, as the EMEA president of McCann Erickson, Howell embarked on an ultimately futile attempt to reinvent McCann in Europe - the dream team of top talent he hired gelled ever so briefly and then began to fall apart. Sources say he clashed with the McCann global chief executive, John Dooner, over strategy; subsequently, in April, he decided to leave the company.\nSome put the split down to a clash of personalities. \"The sad truth is he never laughed at Dooner's jokes,\" is the assessment of one insider. Others say Howell became a none-too-subtle threat to Dooner's position, and that it will always be in Howell's nature to hanker for the top job, wherever he is.\nHowell takes issue with our interpretation of events, but he does concede one point. \"I have been my own boss for a large part (of my career) and I would probably concede that it's not that easy to be my boss,\" he admits.\nAnd that is perhaps the most intriguing thing about the ITV appointment. It is well known that Howell has one of the best contact books, not just in advertising, but in the wider business world - it is one of the reasons why he is likely to succeed in this new role, some industry watchers say.\nOf course, Grade is one of the most important names in that book. They share a world-view and a way of dealing with people. Perhaps most importantly, they have a mutual admiration, having first met in the late 80s, when Grade was the chief executive of Channel 4.\nThis brings us back to one of the charges broached earlier - that Howell is \"not very ITV\". Actually, he agrees, claiming that if he had been approached for the commercial role by the pre-Grade ITV, he would not have been interested in the slightest.\nGrade, who started in the top job in January, is reinventing ITV's culture from top to bottom. \"That's exciting,\" Howell says. \"That's why I was interested in this job - because, like Michael, I feel that I am a change agent, too.\"\nSo, has Grade promised his job to Howell when he is ready to make way? No, of course not, Howell responds, the media world does not work that way. We will see.\nThe great thing in his favour, and in contrast with his experience at McCann, is that the ITV revolution is already under way.\nThat revamp, Howell says, will be enough to be getting on with. \"I'm inspired by ITV,\" he explains. \"It's an iconic brand and it matters hugely to people. It matters massively to the client world. I like doing things that matter.\"\nLives: Surrey\nFamily: Wife Claire, daughter Amy, 16, and son Dominic, 12\nMost treasured possession: See above\nInterests outside work: Rugby, football, shooting, golf, theatre,\nFavourite TV The X-Factor\nLast book you read: Fatty Batter: How Cricket Saved My Life (Then Ruined\nIt) by Michael Simkins\nMotto: Fortune favours the brave\nITV brings in consultants to cut costs",

        "raw_content": "West: It's dangerous for police officers\nWest: Resolving some childhood memories\nWest: Spring brings good, bad news\nCafe 'charms' its customers\nWest: Remember Grandpa Moses' weather reports?\nWest: Clowns a bunch of hokum\nWest: Percy Priest had a major impact\nWest: Is Cannon Co. ready for soccer?\nWest: Blackberry winter for the record books\nWest: May's really busy\nWest: Cell phones hopping\nA new FBI report shows just how dangerous it is to be a law enforcement officer, particularly in the South.\nSixteen law enforcement officers were killed by criminal actions during the first six months of 2015, the FBI report reveals.\nThe officers died as a result of:\n6 were performing traffic pursuits or starts;\n3 were ambushed:\n3 were investigating suspicious persons or circumstances;\n2 were involved in tactical situations;\n1 was answering a robbery call;\n1 was answering a burglary call.\nSeven of the 16 officers were employed by law enforcement agencies in the South; 5 in the West; 2 in the Northeast and 2 in the Midwest.\nFourteen of the officers were killed by suspects using firearms (8 handguns, 3 rifles and 3 firearms types not reported. Two of the officers were killed by subjects using a motor vehicle as a weapon.\nIf there is any good news out of the report, the totals are less than the comparable period in 2014. In 2014, 21 officers were slain by criminals from Jan. 1 through June 2.\nThose totals don't include police officers who were accidentally killed. Twenty more officers died as the result of accidents:\n12 were in automobile accidents;\n2 were struck by automobiles;\n2 were accidentally shot;\n1 died in a motorcycle crash;\n1 died in an ATV accident.\nFourteen of these accidental victims were from the South; 2 in the West and 2 in the Northeast.\nSo when taken on face value, what does this report tell us?\nIt is more dangerous to be a police officer in the South.\nWhy? Determining that answer isn't easy. You can't really go by statistics.\nFor example, Tennessee was ranked America's Most Dangerous State back in 2013 , according to web site, Law Street. (Note that the report analyzed cities with more than 25,000 people.) The report showed murder, rape, aggravated assault and robbery statistics from 2012. Tennessee came in at number one an average of 643.6 violent crimes per 100,000 people.\nAnother major report just looked at aggravated assault cases and pointed out that \"Crime is particularly concentrated in Memphis, where 1,656 violent crimes per 100,000 city residents were reported in 2013, the third highest among all U.S. cities. The poverty rate and other economic factors were also much worse in the city than in the state as a whole.\"\nOther reports show that Tennessee is home to the 4th highest percentage of obese residents, 7th highest on the list of cardiovascular deaths and 15th lowest on visits to the dentist.\nSo, if the national studies are right, Tennessee is the home to a bunch of fat, rotten-toothed, heart-attack victims. Oops, forgot to ad VIOLENT to that list.\nSo, it's obvious, you can't draw such conclusions from a hodgepodge of data.\nHowever, the FBI stats regarding law enforcement deaths isn't subject to reinterpretation. They speak for themselves. Being a law enforcement agent in Tennessee has more than its share of dangers.\nSo how can the law-abiding citizen help make things safer?\n\"By paying better attention\" is one answer. If you hear a siren or see flashing lights, pull over and get out of the way. Practice the golden rule. Treat the officer like you would want to be treated.\nOften, citizens and law enforcement meet in what are called routine traffic stops. Sometimes those stops turn out to be anything but routine. Officers find uninsured drivers, drivers with suspended licenses, impaired drivers, illegal firearms, drugs and fugitives. Discoveries like these are all in a day's work for many officers, but don't be surprised if the officer takes a defensive posture at the stop until the risk of confrontation or injury is diminished.\nOne of the most important things a citizen can do is teach your children to respect and to talk to law enforcement officers when they meet them in the community or schools. Help them realize that officers serve and protect everyone in the community. We must continue to pass-on, from generation to generation, respect for professional law enforcement officers.\nIn turn officers should treat law-abiding citizens with respect. After all, its \"us good folks\" versus the criminals.",

        "raw_content": "Mixed response to holiday\nThe federal government's intention to enact a statutory holiday aimed at remembering the legacy of Canada's residential school system has drawn mixed reactions from Indigenous Canadians, with responses to the plan ranging from cautious optimism to open disdain.\n\"Reconciliation right now is a great buzz word, but that's kind of where it seems to end,\" said Frances Moore, an Anishinaabe woman from Timiskaming First Nation in Quebec who now lives in London, Ont. \"If this truly is about reconciliation, then great. Do this day, but let's also see action in other ways.\"\nEvelyn Korkmaz, who spent several years at the St. Anne's Residential School in northern Ontario, said the projected day of tribute would do little more than re-open those wounds for her and her fellow survivors.\nOne organization involved in sustaining Remembrance Day, a potentially comparable federal holiday, echoed Moore's call for a focus on education.\n\"With Remembrance Day you can go to any one of the cenotaphs across this country that every small town ... and big city has,\" he said. \"If you're going to have this day of remembrance for survivors and the loss from residential schools, what kind of tools are you going to provide to communities to do that?\"\nMatthew Martin-Ellis of Toronto said he wants to use a prospective day as an educational opportunity, but would like to hear from survivors and their families as to how to pay tribute respectfully.\nHe noted, however, that he didn't want to see a holiday turn into an occasion that suggests the inequities Indigenous Canadians face are in the past.\n\"If it ends up being a day that seeks to congratulate us on a victory and a reconciliation that we haven't achieved yet, I think we should not pursue this,\" Martin-Ellis said.\nCarolyn Hepburn, a Cree woman from Fort Albany First Nation, said she sees the government plan as a valuable sign of good will.\nShe does feel, however, that Ottawa should reconsider attaching the commemorative day to either Indigenous People's Day on June 21 or Orange Shirt Day on Sept. 30 as the government has indicated it's considering.\n\"We don't want to lose the messaging on either of those days,\" she said, adding that events like Orange Shirt day \u2014 when people don the brightly hewed tops to pay tribute to a survivor who had a treasured possession taken from her when she entered the residential school system \u2014 serve their own purpose in advancing what should be an ongoing conversation about reconciliation.\nFor others, like Native Council of Nova Scotia Chief Lorraine Augustine, the entire idea of the holiday smacks of insincerity.\nShe said that while she could not speak for others in her community, she is personally struggling to see any merit in the proposal despite the fact that it comes as a result of a recommendation from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.\n\"How can you honour (residential school survivors) after what you've done to them?\" she said. \"No amount of apology, no amount of money is going to take away the hurt and what they went through.\"\nNote to readers: This is a corrected story. A previous version had the wrong last name for Matthew Martin-Ellis.",

It pulls together over 160 previously published research papers into one review of why and how donors leave gifts to charity in their wills.\nThe report examines the area of will making, the major motivations to leave a gift to charity in a will, the influence of charity communications and the importance of ongoing stewardship.\nIt culminates in a legacy model, which seeks to summarise the decision making process that a donor goes through when deciding what and who to benefit in their will.\n\u201cWe\u2019d encourage anyone with an interest in legacy fundraising to draw on this review,\u201d one of the report\u2019s authors, Dr Claire Routley said.\n\u201cThe more we can build our legacy fundraising around what we know about our supporters, the better we can meet their needs and aspirations, whilst, ultimately, raising more to help our beneficiaries,\u201d she said.\nLegacy Voice director, Ashley Rowthan added: \u201cWhat this research shows us is that legacy giving is driven primarily by a donor\u2019s personal experience and values, and that leaving a gift in a will helps us find meaning in life, and a means to live on after our death. We see that legacy giving meets a real need for people, to find new meaning and purpose in later life. Legacy giving makes people happy\u201d.",

        "raw_content": "Essential SMS Marketing Strategies \u2192\nHow to get the most out of eBay and PayPal nowadays\nFor quite some time, eBay and Paypal have offered buyers discount coupons online, which allow them rebates on their purchases. EBay sellers should make use of this opportunity and start accepting payment through Paypal or eBay to increase the chances of a sale happening through the use of such coupons.\nPaypal and eBay send such promotional discount coupons randomly or sometimes targeted to a specific audience through e-mails. EBay sellers have an excellent opportunity to sell their items in such a situation, as eBay also offers discount coupons on the best-selling items, non-moving items, or items that are soon going to be out of favor amongst buyers. While buyers should consider themselves lucky if they happen to get such discount coupons, which are generally non-transferable and linked to a specific e-mail ID, sellers have to ensure they offer such discounts on eBay for the items they list to have any chance of increasing their sales.\nEBay sellers have to be aware that these discount coupons are sent to individuals to entice them back to the website or to promote a product. With so many options to choose from, these discount coupons save anything from a small sum to hundreds of dollars on a purchase.\nWhere can sellers find and offer such discount coupons to buyers? Well, these discount coupons are available on some websites that cater to specific interests related to discount coupons, rebates, and related products. But, these coupons are not always authentic and sometimes turn out to be expired, resulting in financial loss. The most important thing to remember here is that eBay and Paypal offer free discount coupons, and these are also found on various forums on their website, thus providing a secure way to access them.\nSellers may get in touch with eBay and Paypal through official forums on their respective websites and take advantage of these facilities, which enable them to offer rebates to people who buy their products through eBay, using Paypal as the payment option.\nGeneral And Specific Discount Coupons\nEBay buyers and sellers have to be aware that general discount coupons can be used by anyone who makes a purchase on eBay with the payment through Paypal, while specific discount coupons are user specific and can be used only through the registered e-mail ID to which the coupon was sent. The seller has to ensure they mention acceptance of such discount coupons to entice a buyer into buying the product. Buyers who use Paypal get a secure platform of payment and sellers who accept such payments from Paypal get a wider reach to sell their product. General coupons are usually not linked to any particular e-mail ID and hence are easily distinguished from specific coupons.\nThese discount coupons generally have an expiration date before which the purchase has to be made to ensure the discount is applicable when buying online.\nAvailability of Discount Coupons\nEBay and Paypal discount coupons are offered by eBay and Paypal themselves to individuals who qualify and can be because of recent purchases from eBay or being a regular customer of Paypal services.\nOther sources for discount coupons can be found on the Internet; however, as these are direct, company-provided coupons. The responsibility of finding authentic discount coupons lies with the individual.\nAn eBay seller may also be able to provide buyers such discount coupons through these websites; however, please note that this may require some study and research to find the right sources, the methodology, and execution to the satisfaction of both parties.\nWhen it comes to using discount coupons, the buyer has to ensure that the payment is made through Paypal and the buying from eBay for the discount to be applicable. The seller should also be registered with Paypal to accept payments, and the transaction has to be carried out over an e-mail ID associated with a Paypal account.\nFor an Ebay.com seller, offering such discount coupons work wonders as they provide an edge over regular sellers. A seller who regularly offers his customers an extra advantage of a rebate for their purchase will definitely attract a lot of hits for his listing as compared to a non rebate item.",

        "raw_content": "Grafton board seeks counsel advice on conflict of interest; considers Town Meeting date change\nMonday\u2019s Grafton Select Board meeting began fairly routinely with early agenda items moving the meeting quickly to a mystery topic only listed as Kent Armstrong. Once he was announced, Armstrong asked each board member on what grounds each had decided to run for the Select Board \u2014 to which all responded \u201cto serve Grafton residents.\u201d\nHe then said that he believed that three of the five board members had a conflict of interest relating to a controversial wind project because they had stated publicly that they were against that project. He had broached this topic at the last board meeting, when the Select Board backed a resolution to ask the General Assembly to support towns in having more influence in Public Service Board decisions over energy projects.\nArmstrong read from the Code of Conduct and asked that the town lawyer be called upon to address his concerns as to whether there was a conflict. During the discussion, which involved many in attendance, Grafton board chair Sam Battaglino questioned whether involving the town lawyer was the best use of town funds.\nBut board member Gus Plummer said it would be beneficial for counsel to be involved so everyone \u201cwas sure\u201d as to what was being done. All four board members (Skip Lisle was not in attendance) voted in favor of having the town lawyer address the concerns regarding Code of Conduct relating to board members at the next meeting.\nFollowing the meeting, board member Ron Pillette said members don\u2019t have a conflict because, according to the code, conflict of interest \u201cdoes not apply to a member\u2019s particular political views or general opinion on a given issue.\u201d In addition, there is no conflict of interest in matters in which the public officer has a personal or pecuniary interest in the outcome that is no greater than that of persons generally affected by the decision, such as adopting a bylaw or setting a tax rate.\nAnother hot topic was a proposal to change the day of the week that town meeting is held in Grafton. Saturday was suggested since it would allow more people to attend than the Tuesday daytime meeting that coincides with Australian balloting. Town clerk Kimberly Record said a number of towns hold their meetings on Monday night, with the Australian ballot held on Tuesday. One community member suggested that a proposal be put to Australian ballot to allow those currently having difficulties attending town meeting the opportunity to vote on the measure.\nTown Hall repairs, town garage sale addressed\nAttention then turned to updates on various ongoing town projects. Plummer reported that all items on the current Town Hall check list of repairs and updates had been completed and he would be preparing another list of work for the front of the hall. Battaglino noted that the Town Hall, which was built in 1816, was in \u201cvery bad shape\u201d and that every year spent waiting to address repairs would increase the bill.\nHe also added that although it would take considerable funds to do all the needed repairs, it would result in a Town Hall that the community could be proud of. Plummer noted that funds would not be available for additional work until the start of the new fiscal year but he would start the list and perhaps the bids could go out prior to the funds being available. Town administrator Rachel Williams announced that she and town clerk Kimberly Record are volunteering their time to spiff up the inside of the town office with new paint.\nRoad foreman Danny Taylor updated the board on the new town garage and required work inspections, then presented to the board the bid proposal for a plow/body package. The board and community members\u2019 discussion of the sale of the old town garage resulted in the need for review of the value of the property with information from the listers\u2019 office and for future discussion as to timing of the sale.\nEmerald ash borers on the way; drug problem already here\nLiisa Kissel, who serves on the town planning commission, gave a brief report on the emerald ash borer. She suggested that the town consider inventorying ash trees in all town rights-of-way that would have an impact on the town economically as well as environmentally if they should be infested. Currently there are no confirmed infestations in Vermont but with other nearby states reporting, Kissel said it will only be a matter of time and that it would benefit the town to start looking into the issue now. She also said that the state will be hanging pale green trap boxes, replacing the deep purple ones, after discovering that the green has proved to be more effective in attracting the insect.\nBattaglino suggested having a knowledgeable area resident address the growing national drug problems, for which Vermont has become notorious. Also part of the discussion would be the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana.\nFact Television \u2013 Channel 8 (http://www.fact8.com/news.php) records Select Board meetings. Board minutes are available on the Town of Grafton site. The next Select board meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, April 20 at Grafton Elementary School, 58 School St. The agenda will be available in The Chester Telegraph.\nFiled Under: Featured \u2022 Grafton \u2022 Latest News",

The gap between rich and poor in Shanghai is widening rapidly although the economy of China's financial hub grew 13.5 per cent in the first quarter of the year. [Reuters]\nA set of policy suggestions to close the gap between them and other social groups in China was found in the China National Human Development Report 2005 released on Friday, which was commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).\nThe government should take actions to ensure the punctual payment of salaries, provision of shelter, access to education for children, social security entitlements and union membership, the report said.\n\"Achieving development with greater equity and ensuring that all people, including the disadvantaged groups, have equal opportunities and a decent life free from poverty should be the future focus of China's future development plans,\" said Khalid Malik, UN Resident Co-ordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in China, in an interview with China Daily.\nUNDP China expected the report, with the theme of \"Towards Development with Equity,\" to become a major reference for the policy makers of the Chinese Government, which has been busy drafting its 11th Five-year (2006-10) Economic and Social Development Plan.\nChina has been trying to find a balance between efficiency and equality in income distribution. As the country's economy took off, however, priority was given to efficiency, and a huge number of farmers, migrants and even some urban labourers at the lower rungs of the social ladder have been economically affected, according to the report.\nEven in the relatively developed Pearl River Delta in South China's Guangdong Province, a migrant worker earns only around 700 yuan (US$85) per month. In Chinese rural areas, about 30 million people still live in poverty and 60 million live close to the national poverty line with an annual income of 637 yuan (US$79).\nThe report said that it's of great importance to promote fairness in income distribution as a way to curb unstable factors that could endanger social stability and public security.\nChina's Gini coefficient an internationally accepted measurement of income equality was estimated by some research organizations at 0.45 this year. The \"alarm boundary\" stands at 0.4. The coefficient was 0.30 in 1982 and 0.45 in 2002. Among the 131 countries in the UNDP's updated survey, only 31 countries are in a worse situation than China in terms of equality in income distribution.\n\"We need to look at the problems and come up with constructive suggestions,\" said Lu Mai, secretary-general of the China Development Research Foundation. \"It is high time for the government to target balanced social development as a major policy target as China is trying to quadruple its economy by 2020.\"\nDonating blood for the wounded\nHospital fire kills 39 in Jilin\nArt auction in Hangzhou\n150 Chinese businessmen arrested in Manila\nCorrupt Guizhou road chief executed\nOlympic triathlon hopeful killed by car\nIndia, China to speed up border dispute talks\nMigrant children need helping hand\nSpecial care for least developed nations urged\nMinistry aims for greater resource dig\nSony stops distribution of substandard cameras\nOfficial says urbanites to near 560m by end of year\nFeel ease to the Gap?\nPride and prejudice and social unrest",

        "title": "Whole Life Thinking - David Arnold responds",
        "raw_content": "Clearly building services engineers play an important part contributing to achieving this balance by designing services installations that minimise energy use. However we usually think of minimising emissions as simply improving the operational efficiency with the ultimate goal of \u201cZero Energy Buildings\u201d, i.e. zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emissions annually. The zero net energy consumption is, however, based on annual inputs and outputs and only reduces the emissions from new buildings. This focus on achieving zero-energy buildings, based on annual inputs and outputs, has I believe distracted us from the \u201cWhole Life\u201d aspect of minimising emissions.\nWe know that the rate of replacement of buildings is low, typically around 1% of all buildings per year for developed countries. Given that the current horizons for reducing energy use extend to 2050 the majority of today\u2019s buildings (and in some cases the mechanical systems), estimated at up to 80%, will still be in use at that time. Zero energy buildings, whilst an important goal, will not be the whole answer to achieving the contribution from buildings to the legally binding target of the 2008 Climate Change Act, i.e. reducing the UK\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% (from the 1990 baseline). Whilst not ignoring the part energy efficient design plays in new buildings, I believe greater additional reductions in emissions in the medium future can be achieved by turning our attention to the energy use and embodied energy in our stock of existing buildings. A recent blog by Mark Bowers of Arup called the embodied energy of buildings their \u201chidden assets\u201d, quite appropriate.\nCole and Kernan carried out one of the few published analyses of the \u201cLife Cycle Energy Use in Office Buildings\u201d that incorporated embodied energy as long ago as the mid-90s. They concluded that embodied energy associated with replacement and repair of building elements over the life of a building is greater than that associated with any single element of the initial embodied energy. For a current typical building life of, say, 50 years, the recurring embodied energy (between 6.5 and 6.8 GJ/m\u00b2) is equivalent to the initial embodied energy of the building. The building services and interior finishes and components are the most significant categories of recurring embodied energy.\nIncreasingly nowadays there is an awareness of the energy embodied in the building; when it is constructed, and the services when they are installed during construction and replaced at various intervals throughout the life of the building. Assessing the \u201cWhole Life\u201d embodied energy in buildings is complex. Data bases for the embodied energy of building materials have been developed in recent years but provide little assistance for building services engineers attempting to minimise the life cycle energy use of comparative engineering solutions. Clearly if we can extend the reliable life of service in buildings and reduce the number of times they are replaced in the life time this will have a significant benefit.\nWhen a building services engineer is confronted with the question, is it better to repair and retain air conditioning systems, installed say 20 or 30 years ago, or to install a new state of the art VRF system the easy answer is throw away the old system and install a new high efficiency one. This however disregards the loss of embodied energy in the original system and the embodied energy in the replacement. We should be promoting research to develop a data base of embodied energy in services plant and equipment and developing innovative tools to allow us to carry out analyses of the life time energy use of alternative repair or replace solutions.\nSurely the starting point for this is for the principle of minimising embodied energy in both existing and new buildings to be introduced in the Building Regulations. This is legislation we have, can and should influence.\nDavid Arnold is a Partner at Troup Bywaters and Anders providing troubleshooting and services as an expert witness. David shares his wealth of engineering experience as a Royal Academy of Engineering visiting Professor at London South Bank University. David is also a past president of CIBSE.\nChris Jones 11 September 2013 at 18:38\nDavid, this is a valuable analysis in a technical sphere. The interesting part is when we consider economics and the assumption that endless growth will always finance the latest, most efficient technology. It is also a commercial sphere and this forum is perhaps insulated from the reality that fuel poverty has increased dramatically, estimates now run at 40%. Perhaps this discussion ventures that the Green Deal Effect will also come to influence the commercial sector where CIBSE resides. I suggest that restraint in comfort conditions and even essential maintenance are becoming the unavoidable outcome, not only on carbon analysis, but because of the cost of financing energy efficiency improvements and supporting the rapidly-obsolescent technology in years to come. The next ten years will be nothing like the last ten. Many of our assumptions and values are going to have to change. In fact we agree here David, the key is that CIBSE needs to lead to rational needs-must approach to resource use, despite the burn-the-furniture outlook intended to keep the financial boilers going.\nRamji Babasaheb 1 November 2014 at 07:24\nGoogle\u2019s Android Operating System in Mobile phones are still relatively new, however, Android Operating System has been progressing quite rapidly.\nFinancial industry regulation|FCA compliance|FCA assistance",

        "raw_content": "New solar-powered watch is made from recycled plastic\nTwo French designers are leading the way to reducing plastic pollution by creating a watch made from recycled bottles.\nThe new eco-friendly watch is named \u2018Awake\u2019. It is made from plastic waste, recycled stainless steel and is powered by solar energy.\nThe watch, launched on Kickstarter last month, was fully funded within one hour. Currently, they have 858 backers and a total of $307,080 which has dramatically surpassed the $30,000 target. It will cost around $300 and is available to pre-order now.\nThe designers have also ensured sustainable production by reusing existing materials, using the cleanest technologies and limiting transport to the maximum.\nThey watch has four different kinds of straps to accommodate a variety of customers:\nOne made from plastic waste.\nThe second a chemical free vegetable tanned leather strap.\nThe third is a rubber strap that has been made from 100 per cent natural rubber which is strong, flexible and completely waterproof.\nThe last is a recycled stainless steel mesh strap.\nThe watch itself is powered by nature, and can absorb energy from anywhere. It is sustainable without a disposable battery and is easy going, three hours wear on your wrist will provide up to six months of power reserve, without any light.\nOther features include; being water resistant to 100 metres and having premium glass which increases durability and scratch resistance.\nThe French designers, Lilian and Fred said: \u201cWe want to show that we can create objects with an innovative design and very high quality, while still limiting our environmental impact as much as possible. And give people the opportunity to make a difference.\u201d\nThey have also committed to giving back by supporting \u2018Trash Heroes\u2019, a team which create sustainable, community-based projects that remove existing waste, and reduce future waste by inspiring long-term behavioural change. The support has resulted in 160 beach clear-ups that will remove more than 17 tonnes of trash from oceans.\nIf you want to find out more about the \u2018Awake\u2019 watch then click here.\nPhoto Credit: Awake",

        "raw_content": "Mobile Ecosystem To Be Worth $50B+ to West Africa By 2022 \u2013 GSMA\nABIDJAN, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire -- The mobile industry in West Africa is forecast to contribute more than $50 billion annually to the region\u2019s economy by 2022, according to a new GSMA study published today at the \u2018Mobile 360 \u2013 West Africa\u2019 event being held in Abidjan, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire.\nThe new report, The Mobile Economy: West Africa 2018, calculates that the region\u2019s mobile ecosystem contributed $37 billion in value last year, equivalent to 6.5 per cent of GDP (see note #1), and will grow to $51 billion (7.7 per cent of GDP) within five years. The economic contribution over this period will be spurred by strong subscriber growth and the move to mobile broadband networks and services.\n\u201cToday\u2019s report demonstrates the vital role West Africa\u2019s mobile ecosystem is playing in driving economic growth and empowering citizens across the region, as well as in delivering against many of the targets of the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals,\u201d said John Giusti, Chief Regulatory Officer at the GSMA. \u201cHowever, further work is required as more than half of West Africa\u2019s citizens are not yet connected to a mobile service, excluding them from the socio-economic benefits that mobile delivers.\u201d\nLarge Youth Populations Driving Subscriber Growth\nAt the end of 2017, there were 176 million unique mobile subscribers (see note #2) across the West Africa sub-region, which comprises the 15 members of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) (see note #3). This is equivalent to a penetration rate of 47 per cent of the region\u2019s population, up from just 28 per cent at the start of the decade. Strong subscriber growth is forecast to continue over the coming years; 72 million additional mobile subscribers are expected to be added in West Africa by 2025, lifting subscriber penetration to 54 per cent. Much of this growth is attributable to the demographic situation across the region, as large youth populations are expected to take out mobile subscriptions as they reach adulthood. According to the report, more than 40 per cent of the population in many countries across Sub-Saharan Africa are below the age of 16.\nMeanwhile, the transition to mobile broadband in West Africa is being driven by the expansion of 3G and 4G networks, lower data tariffs and the increasing affordability of smartphones. 3G networks now cover two-thirds of the regional population and 4G adoption is also rising rapidly. As of March 2018, there were 29 live 4G (LTE) networks in nine countries across West Africa, six of which have launched in the last year. 3G and 4G together accounted for 36 per cent of West African mobile connections in 2017 and are forecast to rise to 94 per cent of the total by 2025. Local operators are expected to spend $8 billion (capex) over the next two years building out and upgrading their networks.\nThe new report The Mobile Economy: West Africa 2018 is authored by GSMA Intelligence, the research arm of the GSMA, and is available in English and French language versions. To access the full report and related infographics, please visit:\nhttps://www.gsma.com/mobileeconomy/west-africa/.\n1 The GDP contribution in 2017 comprised direct mobile ecosystem contribution (2.5% of GDP); indirect contribution (0.5%); and productivity improvements (3.5%).\n3 The 15 countries comprising the ECOWAS are Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.",

        "raw_content": "Understanding the scale that is used to compare one credit score to other credit scores is essential. The credit score scale is a fundamental tool of all credit services and can come into play when you\u2019re looking for a job, buying an expensive product, or looking for a loan. Luckily, the credit score sale is very easy to understand, even if you don\u2019t have much experience with financial products.\nA credit score (also known as a FICO score) can fall anywhere from 300-850. Most companies that look at credit reports will use a general scale based on averages, although they will also look at the individual features of a person\u2019s credit report\u2013not just the number at the top of the page.\n760 and up is considered to be excellent and requires a long credit history with on-time payments and the right types of credit combined with low amounts of overall dept. 700-759 is considered very good, while 600-699 is considered good. 620-659 would be considered \u201cnot good,\u201d 580-619 is \u201cpoor\u201d, and 579 and below is \u201cvery poor.\u201d The lowest credit scores on the scale go to people with major negative financial events like bankruptcy on their records.\nMost people will find their credit scores to hover around 685-700. A lower score does not necessarily mean that you won\u2019t be able to find a good credit card or loan, just that it will be more difficult to do so. People on the higher end of the credit score scale will pay less in interest as long as they\u2019re able to keep their scores in that range.\nImproving your placement on the credit score scale requires a different approach to how use your credit and how you choose types of credit to use. Depending on where you rank, you may need to lower the total amount of your debt or look for errors in your payment history that you can have removed from your record. You may also simply need to build a history of good credit usage, particularly if you haven\u2019t been using your credit for very long.\nThere are three main credit reporting agencies that can tell you your credit score: Equifax, Experian, and Transunion. Your choice of credit reporting agency will not affect your score or your placement on the credit score scale. If you\u2019re interested in improving your place on the credit score scale, the first step is to get a credit report and to look for elements that may be lowering your score. It can take some time to change your credit score and to move into a better area of ranking, but it\u2019s well worth the time, as this will result in a wider range of available loans and finance rates.",

His musical ear and attraction to poetry combined to form original blues, gospel, and rock 'n' roll tunes.\nIn the early 60's, the Farlow family moved to Detroit. Here he began hanging out and jamming with artists such as Sippie Wallace, Big Joe Williams, and John Lee Hooker. In the fall of 1966, Billy C. formed his first band. They opened for Cream at the Grande Ballroom. The next year he joined the band of blues drummer Sam Lay, following the death of harmonica master, Little Walter Jacobs, who was with the band at the time. In 1969 he moved to California with Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen. Their twisted brew of roots music went well with the mind-expanded hippies. The band opened for Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, The Doors, Eagles, and many others. The band recorded multiple LP's with Paramount Records and Warner Brothers' Records, and even scored a top ten hit in 1972 with the classic \u201cHot Rod Lincoln\u201d. Billy C. penned many of the bands best known songs, such as 'Too Much Fun', 'Seeds and Stems' and the band's theme song, 'Lost in the Ozone'. The band broke up in 1976.\nIn the mid-1980's Billy C. relocated to the South where he recorded five CD's of original songs over a 12-year period for various labels. Increased touring, both in the U.S. and Europe followed. Today Billy C. is as busy as ever, traveling the world, spreading his musical gospel where ever he goes, and having one hell of a time! Regardless of where Billy C. Farlow's travels take him, the rhythm and blues of his deep Southern roots stay firmly imbedded in his soul.\nOn \u201cAlabama Swamp Stomp\u201d, his CrossCut Records debut, he's joined by his friends from Mercy, a blues/roots trio from the South of France. The band's mastermind, J.P. Avellaneda, has produced the album, co-written a couple of tunes, and recorded the studio session. With its tight ensemble play, a steady groove and beat, the band's supplying the perfect, greasy soil for Billy C.'s swamp-drenched blues and r&b.",

And I discovered these two rules to be true: having modest gains is more lucrative than trying to resist up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to take a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Secondly, there\u2019s more unpredictability and reward in monies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. as Ethereum.

Bitcoin is an extraordinary intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it\u2019s created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on quite profitable business models made accessible due to the growing use of blockchain technology.\nSell Lite Coin Online \u2013 TAN: Fast Moving Business Minded Indviduals Needed\nHere is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don\u2019t physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a specific address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is only a representation of value, but there\u2019s no genuine palpable form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers claim that there is \u201creal\u201d value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value grows due to computing power, that\u2019s, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that\u2019s worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some form of benefit so that you can ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions lives.\nThe fact that there is little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason for this could be merely that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It\u2019s also possible that the regulators simply don\u2019t comprehend the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act. The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of dynamics of the method where it\u2019s transacted. All transactions on a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. When you\u2019re paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything shortterm wherever your visitors can challenge or desire a discounts, or use dishonest sleight of hand. In-practice, many investors could be smart to use a cost processor, because of the irreversible dynamics of crypto-currency purchases, you need to ensure that stability is hard. With any kind of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous different altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially get access to your individual secrets and so take your cash. However, you most likely can never have it back. It is quite crucial for you yourself to embrace some great secure and safe practices when dealing with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from all of these unfavorable activities. In the event of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could possibly be dealt being a commodity. Supporters of cryptocurrencies proclaim this kind of virtual money isn\u2019t controlled by way of a central bank system and it is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation.

This mining action validates and records the transactions across the whole network. So if you are trying to do something illegal, it is not a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no governments, banks, or another regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more immune to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy threats. Security and seclusion can easily be realized by just being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You\u2019dn\u2019t put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. Since among the oldest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it truly is a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you happen to be demanded fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite poor liquidity as well and it is hard to develop an acceptable investment strategy. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the quantity of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer couldn\u2019t buy all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to suggest that markets will not be vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is no requirement for substantial amounts of cash to move market prices up or down. The merest events on earth economy can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. If you are looking for Sell Lite Coin Online, look no further than The Affluence Network.\nSell Lite Coin Online \u2013 Your Digital Dividend: The Affluence Network\nEthereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could result in company being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between different nodes of the network is currently the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately connects in households 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 manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for \u201clast mile\u201d-consumers and businesses who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the right location at the right time.\nWhile none of these organizations \u201cpossesses\u201d the Internet together these companies decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that\u2019s taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent 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 all parties. If the Internet is down, you\u2019ve got someone to phone to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these issues are resolved.\nThe advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that\u2019s something that as a committed advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. Many people would rather use a money deflation, particularly those that want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; if you\u2019re living pay check to pay check, it would take place included in your riches, with the remainder allowed for other currencies.",

A song starts up on the ol\u2019 playlist- it may be Hootie and the Blowfish, Celine Dion or even a band that\u2019s not a guilty pleasure like U2- and the feelings and images come flooding back. Suddenly, we\u2019re 12 and at a junior high dance again, or maybe we\u2019re sitting in ore dorm room freshman year.\nMusic has a remarkably potent ability to stir up memories, and Daniel Singh is well aware of its power to create landmarks in our lives. Road trips with his friends, accompanied by a burned CD of his favorite songs, inspired Singh to create Songs of My Life, a modern dance composition backed by some of Singh\u2019s favorite pop songs.\nWhen he and his Washington-based dance company, Dakshina, present the return engagement of Songs tonight and tomorrow at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center\u2019s Kogod Theatere- it debuted to sold-out crowds last fall as Singh\u2019s Master of Fine Arts thesis at the university- Singh wanted to make them the songs of your life, too. During the work, audience members are invited to express their own emotions through several \u201csocial dance\u201d sections when the crowd can let loose along with the dancers in a club-like environment. Along with encouraging movement, Singh hopes the performance\u2019s song selection will spark reflections- like those about awkward moments of yore- in the audience.\n\u201cWe want them to think back to some even in their own life\u201d says Singh, \u201cwhen the song [in the performance] was playing, the song was important in their own life. Or even if it\u2019s not the exact same song, maybe it was another song that might have put them in a similar situation: maybe in a bar, or a club, or at a friend\u2019s party or on their own road trip. We want them to get into their own lives as they watch us dance.\u201d\nAnd Singh even sticks to the musically respectable in his choices: Songs\u2019 playlist includes U2, Fiona Apple, Norah Jones and Aimee Mann. They\u2019re not your typical modern dance selections, but as someone who\u2019s currently listening to the dairy milkshake-loving Kelis and multimedia powerhouse Beyonce, Singh like it that way.\n\u201cI think [pop music] gives people an access into an abstract art form like dance,\u201d he says. \u201cIt gives them a way to make their own sense out of it. Whether it\u2019s an imagined connection or there\u2019s an actual connection, once there\u2019s some text attached, people seem to get comfortable with it\u201d.\nShowgoers shouldn\u2019t get too cozy in those seats, though: Audience participation is in a linchpin of Songs. Besides promoting the understanding of dance itself, one of Singh\u2019s goals is to pump up the reputation of the club dance scene, so he incorporates a lot of the aforementioned social dance into the 70- minutes performance.\nApproximately 40 percent of the work is \u201copen dance\u201d, in which an in-house DJ spins live mixes of the songs, and spectators are invited to get up and mix it up a little themselves. The other 60 percent of the performance calls on the eight modern dancers and six social dancers in the number to interpret choreographed vignettes based on typical club antics.\n\u201cOne of the things I though was really wonderful was that you did have a group of young people mixed in there just like a club, or a dance club, talking,\u201d Ruth Waalkes, says of last year\u2019s performance of Songs. \u201cBut it\u2019s very subtle when the actually choreographed dancers start to break out and do something. So it was really wonderful how respectable people were; [they were thinking], \u2018Oh, something\u2019s happening now\u2019 and sort of moving back and allowing the performance to really break out of a pretty social setting. And no one seemed confused or dismayed by that.\u201d\nWhile he was pleasantly surprised by the response to Songs last year; Singh is not satisfied with the dance community\u2019s general opinion of the flashy twists and turns- usually flowing from the limbs of twentysomethings- that make their way across the dance floor in clubs across this country. During a recent trip to Cuba, Singh was amazed at the popularity of social dancing in every generation; he talks about seeing an 18 or 20- year old dancing next to an 80-year- old in a club.\n\u201cSocial dance is a huge, underlooked subculture in the dance community.\u201d Singh says. \u201cI think club dancers spend hours training, practicing their moves, as much as a modern dancer might. It doesn\u2019t happen at a university or an academic setting, but they\u2019re still working and still learning and still passion on their technique to each other\u2026 When I was traveling in Cuba and saw how important social dance was there to them, it made me think about social dance in America in different ways.\u201d\nBut Singh doesn\u2019t spend all of his time dissecting the importance of club beats in the cultural landscape. Just like the pop music selections in Songs of My Life, which emphasizes the importance of companionship and bonds, the definitive songs of Singh\u2019s life have a hint of wistfulness for friendships and relationships, past and present. He names U2\u2019s \u201cWith or Without You\u201d, Norah Jones\u2019 \u201cCome Away With Me\u201d and that 1991 classic \u201cMore Than Words,\u201d by the flannel-clad Extreme, as his favorites.\n\u201cThey kind of have a bittersweetness to them,\u201d Singh says. \u201cIt\u2019s not all sad, but it\u2019s not all happy either. They\u2019re very realistic in their depictions of life and relationships.\u201d With Songs of My Life, Singh aims to do the same.",

        "raw_content": "Credit Where It's Due: D.C.\u2019s Forward-Looking Liquor Laws\nBy Jarrett Dieterle - May 8, 2017\nC. Jarrett Dieterle is a fellow at the R Street Institute in Washington, D.C., and edits the website DrinksReform.org.\nThe Nation\u2019s Capital has some of the Best Alcohol Laws in the Country\nFor those outside the Beltway, Washington is often a punchline for bloated and dysfunctional government. In fact, cynicism toward the nation\u2019s capital often feels like one of the few truly bipartisan activities left in our country. But as a slate of recent changes in the District\u2019s alcohol laws underscores, D.C. is a leader when it comes to forward-looking and rational drinks regulations.\nFederal Prohibition was repealed more than 80 years ago, but most states still suffer under restrictive and backward regulatory regimes for alcohol. After Prohibition, states rushed to enact their own rules that either prohibit or tightly regulate every corner of the drinks market, and many of those rules still survive.\nThe worst post-Prohibition vestige likely is the three-tiered alcohol distribution system that mandates a strict wall of separation between producers, wholesalers and retailers. For most alcohol producers\u2014from brewers to vintners to distillers\u2014this antiquated system arbitrarily limits their ability to sell products to the public and stunts their efforts to grow to full capacity. The results are less economic growth, less entrepreneurial spirit-making and, ultimately, less craft booze. A recent example of the stifling effects of the three-tiered system can be seen in North Carolina, which prevents breweries producing more than 25,000 barrels annually from self-distributing their own beer. This has led to breweries in the Tar Heel State slow-rolling their growth to stay under the cap, and one North Carolina brewery even warned that it would potentially have to eliminate up to 11 of its sales and delivery positions if it was forced to use a middleman distributor.\nD.C. has proven an exception to this dreary state of affairs, as shown by a bevy of alcohol law changes that took effect in the District last week. Among other reforms, the new laws will expand the capabilities of bed-and-breakfasts and hotels to sell alcohol directly to their guests. Grocery stores may now also sell wine, cider and mead in growlers, and distilleries and wineries will be able to sell their spirits in cans or kegs, rather than just bottles. Perhaps most exciting is the reform allowing distilleries to mix cocktails that contain both their own spirits as well as those of other brands, vastly expanding the types of drinks they can offer to visitors.\nAlthough these changes may seem small at first glance, they are part of a larger trend toward more liberalized drinks laws in the district. In 2014, the city government passed an earlier round of alcohol reforms, which expanded Sunday alcohol sales, among other changes.\nFurthermore, while alcohol retailers in most states must order booze exclusively through a regional wholesaler, retailers in the district can order spirits directly from alcohol producers. Not only does such an arrangement cut out the wholesaling middleman, but it also allows venues like local brewpubs to offer an elite selection of both local and out-of-state beer, rather than be limited to their supplier's selections.\nThis means D.C. bars can serve beer from small breweries across the country that ordinarily would not have the capacity sell their products outside their home states. Such a setup has helped upstart distilleries in nearby Virginia, since they can sell their liquor directly to D.C. bars, a practice prohibited under Virginia\u2019s own draconian state-run ABC system.\nDistrict spirit makers can also sell their products at farmers\u2019 markets, and some grocery stores even allow local shoppers to sip a glass of wine or a beer while browsing the aisles.\nTo be sure, D.C.\u2019s legal regime for booze still has room for improvement and D.C. residents should be wary of attempts to reverse the recent reform progress. But states across the country should follow D.C.\u2019s lead and start implementing sensible changes to their alcohol laws. In the drinks reform arena, at least, D.C. is the furthest thing from a punchline.",

        "title": "Should A Mortgage Shortfall Be Included In Debt Management Plans (DMPS\u2019)?",
        "raw_content": "by Brian Talbot on September 24, 2012\nHaving the home repossessed can be a horrible experience because it may leave a person homeless. After a suitable living arrangement is found, thoughts turn to additional financial troubles lurking in the future. Voluntary or mandatory repossession of the home can cause mortgage shortfall debts to arise when the home is sold at a price that does not cover the mortgage loan balance. Since these debts are usually relatively large, they can put the former homeowner into a financial tailspin.\nSince the property that served as security for the mortgage loan is no longer possessed by the individual, this debt is not considered secured. As unsecured debt, it can be handled in the same manner as overdrafts, payday loans, store card, and credit card debt. This means the mortgage shortfall can be included in a debt management plan and repaid over an arranged period.\nIf a mortgage shortfall is the only debt that an individual has, coming to an agreement directly with the previous mortgage lender is usually a better approach. However, many former homeowners who have other debts include these and their mortgage shortfall debt in debt management plans. There is no guarantee that the former mortgage lender will accept the repayment offer issued as part of the debt management plan but proposing one may be advisable.\nThe lender may reject the proposal if it thinks the repayment offer is more or less than what the debtor can afford or if there are more favorable ways to secure or repay the debt. For example, if the debtor owns other assets or properties that could be sold to repay debts sooner, the creditor may request this. However, many lenders are willing to accept reasonable and feasible repayment offers made as part of debt management plans.\nWhether a debt management plan is the best way to repay mortgage shortfall debt is based on the individual. Some people are able to repay this debt quickly and affordably as part of the plan. Others, particularly those with very large shortfalls, may find that the amount of time required to repay the debt fully through a debt management plan is too long and is therefore unappealing to them. These individuals may instead pursue formal insolvency procedures like a Debt Relief Order, Individual Voluntary Arrangement, or bankruptcy.\nAn experienced debt management advisor can help individuals with mortgage shortfall debt determine which option is the most suitable. This expert will request information about the mortgage shortfall and other debts and review the available alternatives, using language that is clear and simple. Debtors should never be afraid to ask questions because it is ultimately they who will decide how to handle their debts.\nThere is no reason to let debt resulting from a mortgage shortfall become a huge problem when debt management plans and other solutions are available. Former homeowners should learn how to affordably clear this debt so they can move in with their lives. In several years, they may be able to qualify for another mortgage to purchase a new home.\nTagged as: debt management, debt management plan\nPrevious post: How Debt Management Plans Handle Overtime Pay\nNext post: If I Am Making Payments On A Defaulted Account, When Will This Be Removed From My Credit Record?",

        "raw_content": "MALTON, James. A Picturesque and Descriptive View of the City of Dublin Described.\nIn a series of the most Interesting Scenes taken in the year 1791. By James Malton. With a brief authentic history from the earliest accounts to the present time. Engraved titlepage and dedication, Arms of Dublin, A Correct Survey of Dublin as it stood in the year 1610, A Correct Survey of the Bay of Dublin 1795, and twenty-five plates of views. London: 1803. Oblong folio. pp. ii, 18, [48], 26 (plates), 2 (maps), 3 (engraved title, dedication and coat of arms). Recent half red morocco on green buckram boards, title in gilt direct on spine. Ex libris Milltown Park with label and stamp. Occasional light foxing and traces of mild water staining to prelims. A very good set of this exceedingly rare topographical work.\nJames Malton (d.1803) architectural draughtsman, came to Ireland with his father, Thomas Malton, senior, and was for nearly three years, during the building of the Custom House, employed as a draughtsman in the office of James Gandon, the architect, but for breaches of confidence and many irregularities he was dismissed. The first mention of his name as an artist occurs in 1790, when he sent, from Dublin, two drawings to the Society of Artists in London. In 1791 he completed a series of drawings of Dublin buildings, from which the well-known set of views were engraved. Twenty-five were reproduced in etching and aquatint, done by Malton himself, and their publication began in 1792. The preface says: \u201cThe entire of the views were taken in 1791 by the author, who, being experienced in the drawing of architecture and perspective, has delineated every object with the utmost accuracy; the dimensions, too, of the structures described were taken by him from the originals, and may be depended upon for their correctness.\u201d Though all the views were taken in the year 1791, yet, as the work was in hand till the year 1797, such alterations as occurred in each subject between the taking and publishing of any view of it have been attended to; to the end that it might be as perfect a semblance as possible of the original at the time of the completion of the work.\nThe volume has an engraved title-page, an engraved dedication, dated at London, 1st June, 1794, \u201cto the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Common Council, Freemen and Citizens of Dublin.\u201d The work begins with a preface, followed by a brief history of Dublin, and an article \u201cOn the Castle Walls and Increase of the City.\u201d The plates are as follows: Great Courtyard, Dublin Castle; The Parliament House; Trinity College; College Library; Provost\u2019s House; St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral; West Front of St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral; Royal Exchange; Custom House; View of the Law Courts, looking up the Liffey; Tholsel; Old Soldiers Hospital, Kilmainham; Royal Infirmary, Phoenix Park; Blue Coat Hospital; Lying-in Hospital; Rotunda New Rooms; St. Catharine\u2019s Church; Marine School; Leinster House; Charlemont House; Powerscourt House; View of Capel Street, looking over Essex Bridge; St. Stephen\u2019s Green; Barracks; View of Dublin from the Magazine, Phoenix Park. Dedicated to the Governors and Directors of the Hospital, including the College Library, dedicated to Edmund Burke. Besides the above twenty-five views the bound volume contains the Arms of Dublin, as frontispiece; Survey of the City of Dublin as it stood in 1610, taken from Speed\u2019s Map; Survey of the Bay of Dublin, 1795, and a folding map of Dublin that does not appear in this or most copies. At the end of the volume is a plate with two outline Keys \u2013 one of the smaller View of Dublin from the Park, the other of the smaller view of the Barracks. All the plates are inscribed James Malton del. et fecit. He published them himself; in some his name is joined with George Cowen of Grafton Street, Dublin. Malton\u2019s views are the most important series of engravings of Dublin. Most of the principal buildings are represented, and groups of figures and little scenes of the daily life of the people add a charm and variety, the whole forming a valuable pictorial record of old Dublin at the close of the eighteenth century.",

Nowadays, there are many fake products that have flooded the market which make it hard for one to select the right product for the supplement needs. There are many different types of supplements and among them the herbal ones are the ones which are the best for one\u2019s health. Those people whose main aim is to lose weight in a safe and easier way opt to take supplements that are herbal as they are health-friendly. Herbal supplements are good for one\u2019s health as they are essential in growth stimulation in addition to weight loss.\nManufacturers of supplements usually attach a list of instructions that the buyer should read when selecting them from the market. Not all herbal supplements are perfect for everyone as there are still some that have side effects that are harmful to one\u2019s health. There are some supplements that are addictive hence one should first of all find out whether or not the supplements they buy are addictive. Addictive supplements are difficult to stop taking as when one starts taking them, they are hooked for a long period of time. Such situations are very harmful as some may lead to serious health problems and even death.\nDiet supplements are used on a regular basis by people who are looking to add nutrients to their bodies essential for growth. Supplements can either be in liquid form or pill form which is the most common of them. Since the food that we take doesn\u2019t contain all nutrients, supplements come in handy as they add more nutrients to one\u2019s body once we ingest them. Men who are looking to add weight the easy way can result to taking supplements in order to gain muscles.\nMisuse of supplements is however on the rise as some people take them in order to relieve conditions such as headaches or stress especially when they are straining. This is not recommended as they take these products as opposed to medication which may lead to difficulties in the patients\u2019 health. Supplements may at times be taken by those who have difficulty sleeping due to insomnia or sleeping disorders. Some people use these supplements as a substitute for eating normal food which isn\u2019t right as it may take a toll on one\u2019s health.\nThose supplements that doctors recommend for their patients to take are usually the best for those people who are in dire need of them. This is because there are some fake supplements in the market that are harmful for one\u2019s health and can lead to fatalities if taken large doses or taken for a long period of time. Doctors may at times recommend supplements for those patients whom their conditions persist even after giving them the necessary medication to improve on their conditions.",

        "raw_content": "There may be more Death-based graphic novels; the existence of an Absolute mega-edition like was created for Sandman and some other DC titles suggests so, but I\u2019ve only ever seen two. And as of today, I\u2019ve read the second one, so I guess I\u2019ll just have to see what else pops up or else not worry about it. Which is not unlike how the pale gothy girl wearing the ankh expects me to live my life, I think; after all, it\u2019s what I\u2019ve got.\nI kind of wish, though, that I either read Sandman more often than I have or else that I had eidetic memory, or that I had been obsessed with the series the way I was with the Wheel of Time during the \u201990s, or really anything that would lead me to have good recall about the characters of Foxglove and\u2026 Jesus, I\u2019ve forgotten her girlfriend\u2019s name in the time it took me to start this review after finishing the book earlier today. That\u2019s just sad, though unfortunately illustrative of my point. Because, you see, The Time of Your Life is mostly about the two of them and their son Alvie who has a suspicious anagram in his name, and also of course about the pale gothy girl with the ankh, who you may better know as Death.\nIt was a sad and sweet but probably more sad story about relationships and fame and sacrifice and of course death, and I liked it on its own merits, but I didn\u2019t really like it on the merits of being a story about Death. She felt shoehorned in to provide a\u2026 well, deus ex machina can hardly apply if the being providing it is pretty well at a higher level of existence than gods are. But all the same, her only real point in the story was that she worked as a lever to break the logjam between waify singer/songwriter Foxglove and that girlfriend whose name I can\u2019t remember, so that they can proceed with their lives (or not) one way or another, instead of continuing to circle around and around the same static relationship they were stuck in on page one. And even worse, Death provided this lever by way of an action so implausible that she even commented in the dialog that it\u2019s the kind of thing she never does, right before doing it anyway, for no apparent reason. That could be a hint that she has taken more interest in the two characters than I apparently managed (her name is Hazel, if you are itching to know), but I couldn\u2019t bring myself to take that hint. Instead, it was just an inexplicable oddity in, like I said, what could have been a pretty interesting story about a few side characters without ever including her.\nAlthough, I admit it does seem like some member of the Endless should have probably been involved for it to really fit in the universe, familiar characters or not. It\u2019s just, it\u2019s plausible that if a character is going to behave inexplicably, Gaiman already wrote one who has that exact modus operandi. Y\u2019know?\n[1] It\u2019s weird, or serendipitous, or merely coincidental, but I\u2019m positive not ironic in any sense, that I\u2019m listening to Who Killed Amanda Palmer? on vinyl as I write this. See, I bought it a few weeks ago while browsing a local record store for a few pickups, and finally unwrapped it right before I started on this. I had been going to write it anyway, just over Jon Stewart from last night instead, but the whim struck me, and there you go. And after I\u2019d gotten about a sentence deep into the review, a line from the third track played out: \u201cNobody deserves to die, but you were awful adamant that if I didn\u2019t love you, then you had just one alternative.\u201d And the thing is, I feel like there might be a way to tease out a very close parallel between that line and the book, but only with spoilers, and anyway, it really would be coincidental, almost certainly nothing more. Even though I\u2019m pretty sure Amanda Palmer wrote the introduction to that giant updated Death collection I mentioned, and Neil Gaiman wrote the copy on the back of Amanda Palmer\u2019s album, and they\u2019re engaged, and all of that. Sometimes, despite everything, it really is just a coincidence.\n[2] How weird is it that there are two unreferenced footnotes in this entry?\nThis entry was posted in Words and tagged fantasy, fiction, graphic novel on March 12, 2010 by Chris.\n\u2190 Alice in Wonderland (2010) The Blind Side \u2192\nOne thought on \u201cDeath: The Time of Your Life\u201d\nI\u2019m like 99% sure there are only two and that the rest of that Absolut Death thing is padded out with DVD extras.",

        "title": "The All New, All Daring Delusional Honesty!: Of Spider-Clones and Supermen: Why \"Superman: Rebirth\" Is the New \"Clone Saga\"",
        "raw_content": "Superman is, in fact, Ben Reilly. And it's all happening again.\nMaybe I'm being a bit sensationalist, but cut me a line's slack, all right?\nSuperman is Clark Kent, the other-dimensional double of the New 52's very own Superman--a \"brother\" of sorts. He's who fans think of as the \"real\" Superman, returned after a few years real-time and DC-time to again assume the Superman identity upon his \"brother's\" death. In the meantime, two other Supermen were created with Clark's powers, and one perished trying to kill the New 52 version. Now, Superman, his wife Lois, and their son Jon try to keep their identities secret, with Clark living the life of a simple farmer under an assumed name. He can't take this universe's Clark's place, because everybody knows Clark was also the deceased Superman. There could be many \"lost\" tales from the period he was gone. And he's not wholly familiar with the New 52 Superman's foes.\nIn the back half of the Spider-Clone Saga...\nSpider-Man is Ben Reilly, first believed to be the clone of Peter Parker but newly revealed to be the \"real\" Parker, returned after a few years Marvel-time to again assume the Spider-Man identity upon his \"brother's\" having moved to Portland with his pregnant wife. In the meantime, two other Spider-Clones were created, and one apparently perished trying to kill the other Parker. Now, Spider-Man continues to keep his identity secret, living the life of a simple barista under the assumed name of Ben Reilly. He can't take the place of the man who'd lived his life the last few years, because everybody knows Peter is married to Mary Jane Watson and they're expecting a child out in Portland. There are many tales from his \"lost years.\" Oh! And he's not wholly familiar with \"Peter's\" foes.\nAnd I haven't even mentioned the mysterious figure appearing in both their lives, claiming to be beyond the simple labels of friend or foe and insisting that neither Spider-Man/Superman nor his clone/other-dimensional double were what they believed. (For those playing the home game, that's Judas Traveller for Spidey, and \"Mr. Oz\"--inevitably to be revealed as Ozymandias--for Superman.)\nI find a couple of things really interesting about this tableau:\n1.) The Superman we knew, who starred in his own series between 1986 and 2011, is essentially cast in the same predicament as Ben Reilly in 1995. The powers that be wanted Ben to assume the role of Peter Parker in addition to Spider-Man, however temporarily, but he couldn't because his status quo was just too different. People on the street in the Marvel Universe knew Peter was happily married to Mary Jane, and the editors and writers were woefully unprepared for the kind of gymnastics of squeezing Ben into Peter's life. Hence, he became a blond-haired barista.\nHere, DC's got a Superman obviously older than his New 52 counterpart and so easily recognizable as different from the New 52 Clark Kent. Plus, add the complication of New 52 Superman having been outed as Clark, and is there truly any suspension of disbelief remaining among Metropolitans? The bottom line is, as it was with Ben Reilly, barring another Cosmic Reset Button, it's going to be exceptionally difficult squeezing the Clark Kent from 2011 into the milieu of New 52 Clark, with specific relationships and traits the public associates with the character. Everyone wants Superman to fit in that box he's been in since 1938: \"...and who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights the never ending battle for Truth, Justice and the American Way.\"\n2.) The difference with Superman is that the \"new\" one really is the old one come back. This is incontrovertible and has been documented throughout both the Convergence miniseries and Superman: Lois & Clark. It's not as though DC is reintroducing some copy from an old, obscure storyline and saying there's been an imposter running around the last 20 years. Returning the Superman who starred in 25 years of stories, there's a greater foundation and a bigger incentive to return him to that box mentioned previously. Still, I'm reminded of square pegs and round holes...\n3.) Off the above point, they're already introducing \"another\" Clark Kent whom, I'm guessing, DC will use to try to re-establish a secret identity for Post-Crisis Supes. But, but, but, how do they deal with the age problem? And the fact there are two Lois Lanes, one of whom is Superwoman and the other of whom is a wife, mother and successful author? And the fact Clark now has a son?\n4.) In an inversion of said Clone Saga, it's really unusual--and, hence, remarkable--that DC has chosen to replace a young, single Superman with an older one who's married and has a son. Compare that to the Clone Saga, where Marvel specifically made Mary Jane pregnant as a sort of \"ticking time bomb\" to allow her and Peter's exit from the series in favor of the single Ben Reilly. (Of course, MJ ended up staying pregnant for much of the storyline's two-year span, and the child, a daughter named \"Mayday,\" only ended up being born in a What If...? storyline that spun off into Marvel's next-gen \"MC2\" universe.) It's common comic editors' logic that readers don't like their heroes to be married or have children, as doing both has the appearance of \"aging\" said hero and thus disengaging readers who are still presumed to be young boys and teens. (The lone exception, historically, having been Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman of the Fantastic Four.) So, is a married-with-child Superman really the best status quo for the character? Time will tell.\n5.) Point on a \"young, single\" Superman: we're getting one courtesy writer Gene Luen Yang in a few months with The Super-Man, a spinoff featuring one of those ersatz Supermen I discussed a few points above.\n6.) Lastly, isn't it interesting that writer Dan Jurgens has been involved in roughly the same \"adjustment era\" of both series? Dan not only wrote the recent, quite excellent Superman: Lois & Clark miniseries and is writer of the new Action Comics, he was also writer and artist of The Sensational Spider-Man where Ben Reilly first dyed his hair and started living the barista life!\nFunny, too, how it is that Marvel has recently decided to dip back into the Clone Saga well with \"The Clone Conspiracy,\" featuring the return of the Jackal as well as many dead characters returned to life.\nDo you think DC will succeed where Marvel failed, and fully reintegrate both Clark Kent and Superman into their new status quo?",
